- 0:36Speaker 3: I'll tell you what we need on this calendar.
- 0:40Speaker 2: We need a prize fight. Man.
- 0:41Speaker 3: When I was a kid, we a good old fashioned
- 0:44Speaker 3: heavyweight boxing match, you know, right around this time the
- 0:47Speaker 3: calendar is just come on. We got to pick this thing.
- 0:49Speaker 2: Up with you. You're picking up with the Seahawks.
- 0:52Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 0:53Speaker 5: I don't know if I would qualify as a prize
- 0:55Speaker 5: fighter or that anyone that Pep would see, But there's
- 0:57Speaker 5: some people I'd like to punch.
- 0:59Speaker 2: Logan.
- 0:59Speaker 1: Paul says he can beat up any NFL.
- 1:01Speaker 2: Yeah, million dollars. Do you want to take him on
- 1:04Speaker 2: you by chance?
- 1:06Speaker 6: Sure, I'll step to the front of that line. I mean,
- 1:10Speaker 6: I'm exactly who everybody would vote to represent the NFL,
- 1:18Speaker 6: killing me every time.
- 1:20Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's let's dive into this. I mean,
- 1:22Speaker 1: we've got six.
- 1:23Speaker 2: You know, regulars.
- 1:26Speaker 1: Yeah, and maybe you even qualify them as starters that
- 1:29Speaker 1: are going to hit the free agent market. A world
- 1:31Speaker 1: championship team and so that's going to start next week.
- 1:36Speaker 1: So let's kind of go through some of our guys
- 1:39Speaker 1: and just how capable they should be. Ken Walker, how
- 1:41Speaker 1: do you read that situation? Feels like he's gonna get
- 1:44Speaker 1: a lot of money on the free agent market. How
- 1:47Speaker 1: how important do you think it is for the Seahawks
- 1:50Speaker 1: to keep him first lose him on the market.
- 1:53Speaker 3: Well, he's the most high profile guy for obvious reasons.
- 1:57Speaker 3: I don't think he's gonna be a Seahawk. I think
- 1:59Speaker 3: he's out. I think that the market's gonna be fifteen plus.
- 2:04Speaker 3: I don't I don't think that Seattle's gonna be willing
- 2:08Speaker 3: to uh to dance that way. I mean, I just
- 2:11Speaker 3: think that you look at at their overall philosophy. You know,
- 2:16Speaker 3: you're you're gonna sign uh uh JSN, You're gonna sign Witherspoon.
- 2:21Speaker 3: That would be my thought, and then everything kind of
- 2:24Speaker 3: falls in after that. It's like when you when you
- 2:26Speaker 3: load up your your car for a long trip. You know,
- 2:29Speaker 3: you put the biggest suitcases in the trunk first, and
- 2:33Speaker 3: then the little stuff you find. You know, oh, oh,
- 2:36Speaker 3: well there's a little spot right in there, and you
- 2:38Speaker 3: stick the little stuff in, and the big stuff is
- 2:40Speaker 3: JSN and and Witherspoon, and you know, you know, and
- 2:44Speaker 3: I think that that Canine, now there's some concern there.
- 2:47Speaker 3: There's only four running backs who've been had over one
- 2:51Speaker 3: hundred snaps in the outside zone, and Canine was one
- 2:55Speaker 3: at one hundred and eight. You know, he's five point
- 2:57Speaker 3: three yards per attempt. Sharbone had about half that at
- 3:01Speaker 3: fifty five. He's four point five yards on the inside zone.
- 3:05Speaker 3: K nine's five point six yards per tamp Zach is
- 3:08Speaker 3: three point three.
- 3:10Speaker 2: You know, even when even.
- 3:12Speaker 3: If Sharbonnay had never hurt himself and you were letting
- 3:14Speaker 3: K nine walk, I would think that you're, you know,
- 3:17Speaker 3: a substantially less running back. I'm not sure if the
- 3:21Speaker 3: Seahawks share that opinion. But I think that there's some
- 3:26Speaker 3: people in the you know, whether it's Kenny McIntosh, even
- 3:29Speaker 3: Vellis Jones. There may be acquisitions in the draft, there
- 3:34Speaker 3: may be you know, I think that they'll fortify the
- 3:37Speaker 3: running back group, but I don't think it's gonna include
- 3:40Speaker 3: k nine.
- 3:41Speaker 5: Okay, So I mean I just got one follow up
- 3:43Speaker 5: with that. I mean, they don't bring him back. Difficulty
- 3:48Speaker 5: in making that position group as good or better or
- 3:53Speaker 5: is it going to be significantly worse simply because, like
- 3:56Speaker 5: you said, the skill set that it takes to run
- 3:58Speaker 5: that outside zone and there hasn't been a bunch of
- 4:02Speaker 5: guys that have done it, at least, you know, outside
- 4:05Speaker 5: of Seattle last year. And so I'm just wondering, is
- 4:08Speaker 5: that something that you're worried about it being a lesser
- 4:12Speaker 5: position group considering how important it is all of the
- 4:14Speaker 5: guys that.
- 4:15Speaker 3: Were planning to talk about in this segment, that one
- 4:18Speaker 3: concerns me the most. You know, like that Villis Jones
- 4:23Speaker 3: I was a little bit intriguing to me. George Laani
- 4:26Speaker 3: is not intriguing to me. Zach Charbonnet is a nice
- 4:29Speaker 3: number two. Even before he heard his ACL he's got
- 4:33Speaker 3: an a cl so to me, given the desire for
- 4:37Speaker 3: the Seahawks to have a physical running game, I'm concerned.
- 4:41Speaker 3: But uh, I would I would say that John Snyder
- 4:46Speaker 3: and Mike McDonald deserve the benefit of the doubt for now.
- 4:50Speaker 3: And I'm gonna withhold and say, hey, what does the
- 4:52Speaker 3: roster look like? You know, going into September. There's a
- 4:56Speaker 3: lot of there's a lot, a lot of water still
- 4:58Speaker 3: to pass under the bridge in terms of player acquisition,
- 5:02Speaker 3: and but it does have me concerned. And uh so,
- 5:08Speaker 3: you know, but but if you take if let's let's
- 5:10Speaker 3: put in player perspective, If if all the general managers
- 5:14Speaker 3: were free agents, John Schneider might be the number one
- 5:18Speaker 3: GM that all the owners would want to acquire. And
- 5:21Speaker 3: if the head coaches were free agents, thirty eight year
- 5:25Speaker 3: old Mike McDonald U given what he did and and
- 5:28Speaker 3: and the future for him, he might be the number
- 5:30Speaker 3: one coach. Yeah, in the NFL. Like like we are
- 5:33Speaker 3: blessed with the people at the top making these decisions.
- 5:39Speaker 3: You know, I've I've been very consistent on my belief
- 5:43Speaker 3: that K nine, even though he's only uh drafted ten
- 5:46Speaker 3: spots higher in the second round, than Sharbonnay. I think
- 5:49Speaker 3: he's a totally different back. And so yeah, for me,
- 5:53Speaker 3: it's gonna hurt. And and you don't really know running
- 5:56Speaker 3: backs until you have you have to watch him for
- 5:59Speaker 3: a long time, because George Solane could rip off a
- 6:01Speaker 3: seventeen yarder. You know, like like if you're an NFL back,
- 6:06Speaker 3: you're you're you're pretty damn good if you're suiting up,
- 6:10Speaker 3: I mean uh uh, and so you're capable of getting
- 6:13Speaker 3: yards if it's blocked. But similarly, Jon Robinson, who happened
- 6:17Speaker 3: to think he is the best running back, he could
- 6:19Speaker 3: go five straight carries and have zero yards. So it's
- 6:22Speaker 3: not just the stats. I think you have to watch
- 6:25Speaker 3: the end zone copy. When I was at the Cowboys,
- 6:28Speaker 3: we used to have the quarterback, meaning it was Norv Turner, Uh,
- 6:32Speaker 3: Troy Aikman, Jason Garrett, myself and Norm would uh from
- 6:35Speaker 3: the watching the end zone copy, He'd say, uh, uh
- 6:37Speaker 3: what you know, Hey.
- 6:39Speaker 2: What freeze the tapes to? What gap? Do you think
- 6:42Speaker 2: Emtt's gonna go?
- 6:43Speaker 3: And you know, and Troy might say, I think he's
- 6:45Speaker 3: gonna stay in the you know, the the strong side
- 6:48Speaker 3: a gap, and and and I might say, well, I
- 6:50Speaker 3: think he's gonna cut it to the backside b and
- 6:52Speaker 3: Jason had have you know his whatever.
- 6:54Speaker 2: I think he's gonna bounce it whatever, you know.
- 6:57Speaker 3: And you just kind of watch these running backs and
- 6:59Speaker 3: I played with Davis kind of the first guy that
- 7:02Speaker 3: really excelled in the outside zone with the Broncos. And
- 7:06Speaker 3: I just think it takes a long time to gage
- 7:10Speaker 3: who's better. I think Canine's a lot better, but I'm
- 7:13Speaker 3: I'm I'm willing to see who they.
- 7:15Speaker 1: Try and acquire our QB one. Hugh Millen, little special
- 7:18Speaker 1: free agent x's and O. So with you today. I
- 7:21Speaker 1: mean I was with you all season long for your
- 7:24Speaker 1: analysis about Rashid Shaheed. He was a nice contributor to
- 7:27Speaker 1: this team super Bowl championship, but also wasn't a huge
- 7:31Speaker 1: contributor to the pass game. So when they're talking fourteen
- 7:34Speaker 1: eighteen million dollars a year for this guy, I'm assuming
- 7:38Speaker 1: Hugh Millan says, let him walk.
- 7:40Speaker 3: He's out. Yeah. This isn't just yeah. This is both
- 7:44Speaker 3: my opinion and what I think the Seawks will do.
- 7:48Speaker 3: I think you're looking at two hundred and sixty because
- 7:50Speaker 3: I think he's going to be pushing twenty million. There's
- 7:53Speaker 3: no way Seattle's I'm paying this. You know the market
- 7:56Speaker 3: for Shiheed. So so here's a guy that in twelve
- 8:00Speaker 3: games had eighteen catches two hundred and sixty six yards.
- 8:04Speaker 3: That's twenty two yards per game. That that's he multiplied
- 8:07Speaker 3: that by seventeen. That's a three hundred and seventy seven
- 8:09Speaker 3: yard season. Was zero touchdowns. You got uh, Tory Horton
- 8:13Speaker 3: coming back. He had one hundred and sixty one yards
- 8:18Speaker 3: in eight games. So's he's basically the yards is almost identical.
- 8:21Speaker 3: But he had five touchdowns. Project out over a season
- 8:25Speaker 3: be eleven touchdowns. I think he's young enough, and I
- 8:29Speaker 3: think I think that they feel good about where he
- 8:31Speaker 3: is with uh, with with what they've cleaned up. Uh,
- 8:34Speaker 3: and his shins are gonna be okay, and and and
- 8:37Speaker 3: then and then you know, obviously with receiz sheet is
- 8:41Speaker 3: that the kick and punt returning bill. But here here's
- 8:44Speaker 3: a note. I'm not sure if a lot of cfns
- 8:47Speaker 3: know this, uh, but uh Tory Horton didn't have one
- 8:52Speaker 3: single kickoff return line he hit. He had punt returns
- 8:56Speaker 3: and rasichi heat for the entire season. Count of the
- 8:59Speaker 3: playoffs had fifteen punt returns to twenty six hours. That's
- 9:03Speaker 3: a fifteen point zero average. Remember that number, fifteen point zero.
- 9:07Speaker 3: Tory Horton had fourteen point nine average. So I think
- 9:11Speaker 3: you're you're okay in the punt return the kickoff returns.
- 9:16Speaker 3: You know, Look, Shihid had two for touchdowns, one against
- 9:20Speaker 3: uh Atlanta one one against the forty nine ers, though
- 9:23Speaker 3: those are hard to walk away from. And then and
- 9:25Speaker 3: then and look at all the touchbacks. You know, they
- 9:27Speaker 3: were late late in the year. They say, hey, we'll
- 9:29Speaker 3: just give you the ball on the thirty five because
- 9:31Speaker 3: we ain't kicking the receitiat that that that hurts, but
- 9:34Speaker 3: it's not worth paying, you know, upwards of twenty million
- 9:38Speaker 3: dollars for so you know, they'll, you know, if they
- 9:42Speaker 3: want to have Tory back there on the punt returns.
- 9:45Speaker 3: I think he can be explosive. Hellani and Drek Young
- 9:48Speaker 3: are certainly no Rasi Hihad. Maybe they are acquire another guy,
- 9:52Speaker 3: but they're not going to pay that type of money.
- 9:54Speaker 5: In my opinion, Yeah, he the I mean, you win
- 9:56Speaker 5: a Super Bowl in the price of your free agents
- 9:58Speaker 5: seems to go up and nderstandably, so another guy kind
- 10:01Speaker 5: of in that mix. Kobe Bryant, do you think that
- 10:03Speaker 5: they're going to pay top dollars safety safety him?
- 10:07Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think he could be sixteen plus
- 10:10Speaker 3: fifteen to sixteen plus.
- 10:11Speaker 2: I don't I don't think they want to pay that.
- 10:13Speaker 3: He could fall back if the market isn't what he
- 10:16Speaker 3: thinks it is. You know, I could see that coming
- 10:18Speaker 3: coming back. But uh, certainly all these players Seattle would
- 10:24Speaker 3: want back, every single one of them.
- 10:26Speaker 2: It's just it's just the value that that they'd be
- 10:29Speaker 2: willing to pay.
- 10:31Speaker 3: You've got you know, this has to be part of
- 10:33Speaker 3: this discussion, is is who Seattle thinks they have on
- 10:38Speaker 3: their roster. They had twenty four rookies last year. They're
- 10:40Speaker 3: the third youngest team in the NFL. And and there's
- 10:44Speaker 3: some guys that that I think we may be surprised
- 10:49Speaker 3: to say, Hey, they feel confident. Look, they played good
- 10:53Speaker 3: football with Tyokatta, after that that Buck the Tampa Bay game.
- 10:58Speaker 3: They played good football with Tyle and they got to
- 11:01Speaker 3: due this Aj Finley six ten pounds guy. They feel like, hey,
- 11:06Speaker 3: there they have They feel like they have up and
- 11:08Speaker 3: coming dudes in the building. And and and uh and
- 11:14Speaker 3: so I think that they're just they're not going to
- 11:16Speaker 3: pay this kind of premium. So I think Kobe Bryant
- 11:19Speaker 3: is a maybe. But if I if I had to bet,
- 11:22Speaker 3: I think he's probably walking.
- 11:24Speaker 4: Wow, you mellon our guest here.
- 11:26Speaker 1: I do want to get to Crosby and Hendrickson, So
- 11:28Speaker 1: let me lump the other three together. Wolan Mafe Job.
- 11:33Speaker 1: What's your read on who might be staying and who
- 11:36Speaker 1: should be going.
- 11:39Speaker 3: I think Woollan's out. I think he's going to get
- 11:41Speaker 3: sixteen to twenty million. I think there's just too many lapses.
- 11:45Speaker 3: Well the freak show that he is in his ceiling.
- 11:48Speaker 3: But you know, you look at the three losses. He's
- 11:50Speaker 3: pivotal in all from the forty nine er game, uh
- 11:55Speaker 3: even the Super Bowl, you know the touchdown they give up.
- 11:58Speaker 3: You know he you know he he was kind of
- 12:00Speaker 3: asleep at the wheels. So I think I think that
- 12:03Speaker 3: Woolen's out. They're not They're not gonna be in the
- 12:05Speaker 3: you know, north of sixteen you know, fifteen sixteen million?
- 12:11Speaker 2: What what? What?
- 12:12Speaker 4: I fan?
- 12:13Speaker 3: I think Job. I think Job is more likely. I
- 12:16Speaker 3: think he's he's the guy in the list.
- 12:18Speaker 7: Now.
- 12:18Speaker 3: I happen to think Josh Jones was a very valuable
- 12:22Speaker 3: pick up last year. Uh, the best backup.
- 12:25Speaker 2: Tackle that I've seen in the last half of you know,
- 12:29Speaker 2: several years.
- 12:30Speaker 3: And so Josh Jones, I think you're gonna be able
- 12:32Speaker 3: to re sign him as a backup tackle. I think
- 12:37Speaker 3: that's important because in the three most important games at
- 12:39Speaker 3: the end of the year, uh, you know, the forty
- 12:42Speaker 3: nine Ers and then now you know he had to
- 12:44Speaker 3: go to CAROLINEA and and hold serve and then come
- 12:46Speaker 3: back and and or excuse me, he was the Rams
- 12:48Speaker 3: on the Thursday night, then then Carolina and then forty
- 12:50Speaker 3: nine Ers in week eighteen. You're starting left tackles Josh
- 12:54Speaker 3: Jones and it just wasn't an issue. So so I'm
- 12:57Speaker 3: gonna count him in that group. I think Job is
- 12:59Speaker 3: more probably back in. I think Mafe is out. I think, uh,
- 13:04Speaker 3: you know, they're gonna he's he's a speed rusher, and
- 13:08Speaker 3: I think that's valued by the other thirty one teams,
- 13:12Speaker 3: or at least enough of the other thirty one teams
- 13:16Speaker 3: more so than maybe Seattle, because when you look at
- 13:20Speaker 3: how how how you want the defensive ends you want
- 13:24Speaker 3: for Seattle, I think Mike McDonald's look, look you got
- 13:27Speaker 3: guys like Nuosu and d Law. Look at their frames.
- 13:31Speaker 3: These dwe these guys are thick. Derek Hall thick and
- 13:35Speaker 3: and and it's first and foremost set the edge. You
- 13:39Speaker 3: gotta that it is more important to be a dominant
- 13:42Speaker 3: defensive end stopping the run for Seattle than it is
- 13:46Speaker 3: and then you can you can fall into your sacks.
- 13:49Speaker 3: Even with Baltimore Ravens. When Mike McDonald's defense pick pitched
- 13:54Speaker 3: a triple crown fewest points allowed, most turnamows, most sacks,
- 13:58Speaker 3: it was with Kyle van neyd North thirty years old
- 14:01Speaker 3: on his fifth or sixteen, But he was physical Jadavian
- 14:04Speaker 3: Clowney North of thirty years old, fifth or sixteen, and
- 14:08Speaker 3: and he set a strong edge for them.
- 14:10Speaker 2: So you know that's the important part of it.
- 14:13Speaker 3: So no, I think boy Mafy's out there, there's gonna
- 14:17Speaker 3: be enough teams that like that speed aspect of him
- 14:20Speaker 3: that he's gone all right.
- 14:22Speaker 1: Well, without MafA you're down an edge. I mean there's
- 14:24Speaker 1: even talk about DeMarcus Lawrence possibly hanging it up this year.
- 14:28Speaker 1: So when you hear names like Max Crosby and Trey Hendrickson,
- 14:33Speaker 1: I mean obviously that comes at a big price with Crosby,
- 14:36Speaker 1: not just salary but draft capital. Are these two guys
- 14:40Speaker 1: worth it?
- 14:40Speaker 2: Well?
- 14:41Speaker 3: Hendrickson even you know, now he's older, I think the
- 14:44Speaker 3: thirty one, even if Hendrickson was younger. No, he does
- 14:49Speaker 3: not set the He does not defend the run the
- 14:52Speaker 3: way Mike McDonald would would want a defensive end. He
- 14:55Speaker 3: only plays on the right side. So I would be
- 14:58Speaker 3: stunned if Trey Hendrickson and was a Sea Hawk Crosby,
- 15:02Speaker 3: I would say, probably not, But I would not I
- 15:05Speaker 3: would not say it's a no chance, you know it obviously.
- 15:11Speaker 3: Now he's at at twenty eight, I think that that's
- 15:15Speaker 3: a little older. Remember Cliff averell And and Michael Bennett
- 15:20Speaker 3: when they were required, they're twenty six and twenty seven
- 15:23Speaker 3: years old respectively. You know, Chris Clemens was right at
- 15:27Speaker 3: that age. I think twenty six when they acquired, maybe
- 15:29Speaker 3: even twenty five. Like so, so I think you start
- 15:33Speaker 3: twenty eight is about as as old as you'd want
- 15:36Speaker 3: to get for a major acquisition like this. But Crosby,
- 15:39Speaker 3: you know, he sets the edge and and so I
- 15:42Speaker 3: don't think it would happen. But I would say no chance.
- 15:45Speaker 3: With Trey Hendrickson, probably not with Crosby. Here's a name
- 15:49Speaker 3: that that that might might surface, Jonathan Grenard from the Vikings.
- 15:55Speaker 2: You know, that might be more of a guy. You know, there's.
- 15:57Speaker 3: Some some some question about what the Vikings want to
- 16:01Speaker 3: do with him, and and he would be more of
- 16:04Speaker 3: a fit and be able to be acquired for less
- 16:09Speaker 3: less uh, you know, less of a cost when you
- 16:13Speaker 3: consider all the costs associated that. Now I'm not I'm
- 16:16Speaker 3: not predicting, but that would be kind of that. If
- 16:19Speaker 3: you're asking me what's more likely Jonathan Garnard from the
- 16:22Speaker 3: Vikings or Trey Hendrickson coming over from the Bengals, I
- 16:25Speaker 3: would say Grenard and and but probably neither. And as
- 16:29Speaker 3: we're talking about guys that that you know in the building,
- 16:33Speaker 3: we mentioned twenty four rookies, Jared Ivy, the edge resher,
- 16:37Speaker 3: they got a young guy that they think, remember that name,
- 16:40Speaker 3: Jared Ivy, that that you know, they the Seas have
- 16:44Speaker 3: guys in the building that they believe in and and
- 16:47Speaker 3: I think that they feel like, hey, uh, you know
- 16:50Speaker 3: you guys who are coming to.
- 16:53Speaker 2: Your contracts are coming up. We we we would pay.
- 16:58Speaker 3: This and sometimes maybe the value that the Seahawks put
- 17:00Speaker 3: on these guys are half what the market would bring.
- 17:03Speaker 3: But the Seahawks are not budging off because the rest
- 17:05Speaker 3: of the league thinks that they're double what Seattle thinks.
- 17:09Speaker 1: Uh.
- 17:10Speaker 3: They're not gonna They're not gonna deviate from their belief
- 17:13Speaker 3: in the value of these guys. And what they believe
- 17:16Speaker 3: in is is UH is their roster. And then the
- 17:20Speaker 3: other part, very important part about this is Seattle's playing
- 17:24Speaker 3: the long game. They're playing the long game with the UH,
- 17:28Speaker 3: with the compensation picks. Now, you don't get the compensation
- 17:31Speaker 3: picks till the twenty twenty seven draft. But if a
- 17:34Speaker 3: lot of these guys are walking out like I'm forecasting,
- 17:37Speaker 3: you know, I don't. I don't expect them to be
- 17:39Speaker 3: making a bunch of uh of uh, you know, setting
- 17:42Speaker 3: off fireworks in terms of acquisitions. I think they're gonna
- 17:46Speaker 3: be like, Okay, that works just great because net net,
- 17:50Speaker 3: we're we're on the on the plus on you know,
- 17:53Speaker 3: I guess would be on the negative side, we're losing
- 17:55Speaker 3: more than we're bringing in. But guess what, we get
- 17:58Speaker 3: compensation picks in twenty twenty seven. We get third and
- 18:01Speaker 3: fourth rounders, right, And and so I think they're playing
- 18:05Speaker 3: the long game in that regard, and I think it
- 18:07Speaker 3: applies with boy Mafe and the defensive ends.
- 18:09Speaker 1: Well, don't stray too far from your you know setup there, Yeah,
- 18:13Speaker 1: because Monday, Tuesday, we might be getting you on the
- 18:17Speaker 1: horn to evaluate some big trade, some big free agents.
- 18:20Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well there's some, you know, just a few guys,
- 18:26Speaker 3: you know, just three or four guys. Riley Mills, of course,
- 18:28Speaker 3: he had the Super Bowl sack. You know, if you
- 18:31Speaker 3: go back to my Monday after we evalued, I said, damn,
- 18:34Speaker 3: you watch this guy, Riley Mills at Notre Dame and
- 18:37Speaker 3: it's hard to see a hell of a lot of
- 18:39Speaker 3: difference between Mason Graham. Mason Graham was a fifth overall pick.
- 18:42Speaker 3: Riley Mills was a fifth, fifth round pick. I think
- 18:45Speaker 3: they really like Riley Mills. I'd mentioned Jerry dob Neamia Pritchard.
- 18:49Speaker 2: You know.
- 18:49Speaker 3: Now, I think Josh Job Job is coming back. But
- 18:53Speaker 3: I think Josh Job we talked about it in the
- 18:55Speaker 3: Super Bowl. I think the and the and through the playoffs,
- 18:57Speaker 3: I think these teams are going to target Josh. So
- 19:00Speaker 3: I think that there's a spot in there near Maya Pritchard,
- 19:05Speaker 3: you know, I think he's added physicality coming out of
- 19:08Speaker 3: Auburn runs a four to three.
- 19:09Speaker 2: But but you know that would be a young guy.
- 19:13Speaker 2: And then well, I guess I mentioned the other one
- 19:19Speaker 2: A J. Finley.
- 19:20Speaker 3: So there's some young guys and I think they are
- 19:22Speaker 3: going to make an impact on the twenty twenty six Urs.
- 19:25Speaker 1: All right, man, well, thank you very much, great stuff,
- 19:27Speaker 1: great breakdown.
- 19:28Speaker 2: We appreciate it. Be with you.
- 19:30Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll talk to you at some point next
- 19:31Speaker 1: week and maybe five times.
- 19:33Speaker 2: I don't know. It's all good. It's it's always a party, right, right, Bucky, right.
- 19:38Speaker 2: I mean, we don't know who that Marguerite is, but
- 19:39Speaker 2: it's always a party. Well, we can do that, we
- 19:41Speaker 2: can make it happen.
- 19:44Speaker 1: Humela our QB one joining us right here on Chuck
- 19:48Speaker 1: and Buck in the morning. Coming up next that NHL
- 19:50Speaker 1: trading deadline. Man, it's fast approaching. And man, things continue
- 19:54Speaker 1: to be quiet for the crack and maybe Mike Menton
- 19:57Speaker 1: has some news for us. We'll talk to him next.
- 20:00Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Do you want
- 20:03Speaker 1: to let you know WBC action going on right now?
- 20:05Speaker 1: The Freaky Deaky Dutch or trailing Venezuela early one to
- 20:10Speaker 1: nothing and getting ready to get started. Finally we can
- 20:13Speaker 1: settle that rivalry between Andre's Munjos and Harry Ford today.
- 20:17Speaker 8: Oh thank goodness.
- 20:18Speaker 4: Such jerks those two.
- 20:21Speaker 1: Yeah, they really, I mean a distraction.
- 20:25Speaker 8: They were a distraction last year. All their dislike for
- 20:27Speaker 8: each other.
- 20:27Speaker 1: Yeah, difficult guys to get along with.
- 20:29Speaker 4: So finally all that heated they're not on same team anymore.
- 20:33Speaker 4: It can finally get settled.
- 20:34Speaker 2: On the baseball for you.
- 20:36Speaker 1: Today in the WBC as Great Britain, we'll take on
- 20:39Speaker 1: Mexico at ten. The NHL trading deadline is coming up. Yeah,
- 20:44Speaker 1: Ashley set the alarms early just to wake up the
- 20:46Speaker 1: crack and they haven't done anything. We still have two
- 20:50Speaker 1: and a half hours before the deadline hits. Joining us
- 20:54Speaker 1: now because we got to get information from Mike Benton before.
- 20:56Speaker 4: The deadline gets here. He joins us on the program. Hello, sir.
- 21:02Speaker 7: Chuck hy, good morning. And if Bucky wanted to leave
- 21:05Speaker 7: and go touch grass outside, isn't it raining right now?
- 21:09Speaker 2: Uh?
- 21:09Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's one way of saying what he
- 21:12Speaker 1: had to do, touching grass. Oh yeah, oh Bucky already,
- 21:19Speaker 1: let's just say the op Let me get back in here,
- 21:26Speaker 1: all right, Yeah, why haven't the crack and made a trade?
- 21:29Speaker 9: Mike?
- 21:30Speaker 2: Where Greg? What's going on?
- 21:34Speaker 7: My read on this shuck goes back to about a
- 21:38Speaker 7: month ago when they took the big swing reporter Lee
- 21:41Speaker 7: at our Timmy Peneren and depending upon how you want
- 21:44Speaker 7: to read into it, I mean reports where he wasn't
- 21:47Speaker 7: going to go anywhere, and I mean anywhere but Los Angeles.
- 21:50Speaker 7: But within that there was an offer of Leon dry
- 21:55Speaker 7: Settle money and he's making the most per year right
- 21:57Speaker 7: now in the NHL. So I I think to me
- 22:00Speaker 7: it shifted a changing or release, an attempt here to
- 22:05Speaker 7: you know, change the communication here of the vision with
- 22:07Speaker 7: what they wanted to do. And then after that the
- 22:10Speaker 7: noise began to get louder and louder and louder that
- 22:13Speaker 7: they wanted to go after a big fish here, so
- 22:16Speaker 7: to speak. At the trade deadline, Robert Thomas's name is
- 22:19Speaker 7: out there, Jordan Kira's name is out there, et cetera.
- 22:22Speaker 7: So now the question comes down, with about roughly two
- 22:25Speaker 7: hours and twenty eight minutes left right now, how much
- 22:28Speaker 7: leverage do you have to actually pull off this kind
- 22:31Speaker 7: of trade? And they get very here from team to team,
- 22:34Speaker 7: I think, you know, the closer and closer that we
- 22:37Speaker 7: get here to the deadline, the more that the leverage gets,
- 22:40Speaker 7: I think it becomes a bit steeper, which then bere's
- 22:43Speaker 7: a question how much do you want to I think,
- 22:45Speaker 7: torpedo what you have the structure wise in this roster,
- 22:49Speaker 7: which has gotten you to this point in a playoff spot.
- 22:52Speaker 7: And when you consider where the optics for about roughly
- 22:56Speaker 7: four or five months ago, this is this is a
- 22:58Speaker 7: pretty their terrible spot right now here to be. And
- 23:00Speaker 7: yet well we're seeing right now as a division that
- 23:03Speaker 7: is getting better and better, and literally I can go
- 23:05Speaker 7: down the list and the crack and are the last
- 23:07Speaker 7: team here to make a move here for this week
- 23:10Speaker 7: in the deadline. So it's gonna be fun to watch here. Certainly,
- 23:13Speaker 7: you know there are still some possibilities out there if
- 23:15Speaker 7: they can't do that. There's a name in Florida, young
- 23:18Speaker 7: kid named matkiew Samuskevitch who is a very gifted playmaker,
- 23:22Speaker 7: gifted score but he is playing deep and I mean
- 23:24Speaker 7: deep on that depth chart for a two time Cup winner.
- 23:26Speaker 7: And then Ken Johnson's name is out there from Columbus,
- 23:29Speaker 7: which will be a pretty a pretty decent return here
- 23:33Speaker 7: as far as what they want to do offensively, But
- 23:35Speaker 7: I mean, man, the time is ticking right now for sure, do.
- 23:38Speaker 1: You feel they have to make one and personally and
- 23:41Speaker 1: do they feel they have.
- 23:43Speaker 4: To make one before the deadline.
- 23:44Speaker 1: So two different questions there, one for you personally and
- 23:47Speaker 1: then what your read is on what they think right now?
- 23:51Speaker 7: Well, you know, we can always count two things here
- 23:53Speaker 7: the sun rising, Chuck, and you know you talking about
- 23:57Speaker 7: roster construction. And I say that in a very good
- 23:59Speaker 7: way because that that that's your baby and that's your jam. Yeah,
- 24:02Speaker 7: it's it's a very very very intriguing picture to look
- 24:07Speaker 7: at when you examine the growth of a franchise and
- 24:11Speaker 7: the growth of a roster from five years ago, and
- 24:14Speaker 7: even in the baseball sense, the Mariners rising here from
- 24:17Speaker 7: the ashes. What I think certainly is of the opinion
- 24:22Speaker 7: within a majority of what they want to do within
- 24:25Speaker 7: the Kraken. They want to upgrade this roster and do
- 24:28Speaker 7: it quick with a top line.
- 24:29Speaker 2: Guy.
- 24:30Speaker 7: You know, I hate to use cliches, but it really
- 24:33Speaker 7: does apply here. It's easier said than done. And we've
- 24:35Speaker 7: heard over and over that this is a seller or
- 24:37Speaker 7: this is a this is an advantage seller's market. When
- 24:41Speaker 7: it comes to the big ticket names out there and
- 24:43Speaker 7: already for a guy like Robert Thomas, the Blues are
- 24:45Speaker 7: commanding a king's ransom. To me and my opinion, the
- 24:49Speaker 7: Cracket have the draft picks, they have a stable of
- 24:52Speaker 7: first and second rounders. They have prospects who have been
- 24:56Speaker 7: turning heads. They have prospects also ready to pop and
- 24:59Speaker 7: be major league ready. They've also gotten names on their
- 25:02Speaker 7: roster that they can easily move for you know, a
- 25:05Speaker 7: return like this which would solve I think, you know,
- 25:08Speaker 7: a hole for a team that wants to, you know,
- 25:10Speaker 7: have a.
- 25:10Speaker 2: Change in direction.
- 25:11Speaker 7: Here. We've heard the name Shane right thrown in there
- 25:13Speaker 7: a lot. Whether you want to believe he's happier or
- 25:16Speaker 7: happier with this time, that's your call. I've asked him,
- 25:20Speaker 7: you know, playing blank. He's happy with where his game
- 25:22Speaker 7: is at right now. He wants to get better. However,
- 25:24Speaker 7: yet it you know, for a team that missed the
- 25:27Speaker 7: playoffs here for the last two years, making that big swing,
- 25:30Speaker 7: making that big push does so many wonders for what
- 25:34Speaker 7: you want to do, I think for your room, injecting
- 25:37Speaker 7: energy into it a reward here for the guys who
- 25:40Speaker 7: have said playoffs, playoffs playoffs since November and October, and
- 25:46Speaker 7: then we talk about those who you know who go
- 25:48Speaker 7: to these games, who listen here to our shows on
- 25:51Speaker 7: the station, to those who text us here in the
- 25:53Speaker 7: text line, there is a desire here to take that
- 25:56Speaker 7: next big step here with the teams who are in
- 25:59Speaker 7: this playoffs spot. That's where that big swing really comes
- 26:02Speaker 7: into place. So I think my own take on this,
- 26:04Speaker 7: my opinion, it really helps them more than anything else,
- 26:08Speaker 7: just a clock at sticker right now to see if
- 26:10Speaker 7: they can get that return that that can go out
- 26:13Speaker 7: the door and please somebody else here to get that
- 26:15Speaker 7: big name in.
- 26:16Speaker 1: Mike metting with us here on Chuck and Buck in
- 26:18Speaker 1: the Morning talking about the NHL trading deadline. Are they
- 26:21Speaker 1: really dangling Shane Wright? I mean, is that somebody for
- 26:24Speaker 1: the right price that they would move off of.
- 26:28Speaker 7: A million dollar question? And you know, it's been very
- 26:31Speaker 7: tough to understand if they really want to move to
- 26:34Speaker 7: my thing directly here from the inside. But I mean,
- 26:36Speaker 7: the reality is this here, Chuck. You know, you have
- 26:40Speaker 7: a player who's just you know, past twenty years of
- 26:42Speaker 7: age and he has a bright future ahead. But he
- 26:45Speaker 7: was picked up here at the draft as a cornerstone piece,
- 26:48Speaker 7: I suppose a cornerstone piece of this future along with
- 26:51Speaker 7: Matty Veneers. Now times have changed here. In the last
- 26:54Speaker 7: couple of years. They made the move here to get
- 26:56Speaker 7: Chandler Stevenson and partially here to insulate Matty Vaniers and
- 26:59Speaker 7: to it was time that we're seeing a little more
- 27:02Speaker 7: of the needle move here in Benier's direction, the right
- 27:05Speaker 7: way for the kind of player that he wants to
- 27:07Speaker 7: be there, the defensive part of this. But now you
- 27:09Speaker 7: have a coaching status trying to really I think, undo
- 27:12Speaker 7: a lot of the tie ups he's had offensively that have,
- 27:16Speaker 7: you know, hindered his game and held him back. I
- 27:18Speaker 7: think maybe, you know, for the last couple of years,
- 27:21Speaker 7: and we're seeing more and more of those flashes, You're
- 27:22Speaker 7: come to the big picture. Yet right now, I look
- 27:25Speaker 7: at what they want to do. Stevenson's a big face
- 27:28Speaker 7: off guy. He's maybe the most attendable face off guy,
- 27:31Speaker 7: especially in late game situations where you have to win
- 27:34Speaker 7: games three, two, two to one, and that's been the
- 27:36Speaker 7: recipe for their success. To begin this playout Nix here
- 27:39Speaker 7: in the first place, Banier's is basically your crown jewel
- 27:42Speaker 7: of all of this, you know, could he be a
- 27:44Speaker 7: two C and a Cup contender? I buy that argument certainly.
- 27:47Speaker 7: And this is where they get the big picture with
- 27:49Speaker 7: the big star comes into play. Where's then bump Shane
- 27:52Speaker 7: right a little bit further down, and I think if
- 27:55Speaker 7: you want to get a big name in here, you
- 27:57Speaker 7: want to kind of make a hockey trade that would
- 27:59Speaker 7: I think set by all parties. Does he maybe flourish
- 28:03Speaker 7: with ice time a little bit more elsewhere or here? Possibly?
- 28:06Speaker 7: But I think in this case, with what you need
- 28:09Speaker 7: to move on from and bring in here, I wouldn't
- 28:12Speaker 7: be surprised if his name is out there, and it's
- 28:14Speaker 7: a matter of time to see if they want to
- 28:15Speaker 7: pull that trigger on this.
- 28:17Speaker 4: Case right for Thomas?
- 28:18Speaker 2: Straight up?
- 28:19Speaker 4: Would you do that?
- 28:22Speaker 2: Boy?
- 28:23Speaker 7: Wouldn't that get the Internet the interwebs on fire?
- 28:25Speaker 2: Wouldn't it?
- 28:26Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 28:27Speaker 2: Yeah, wouldn't it.
- 28:29Speaker 7: Robert Thomas is going to require a big haul. And
- 28:32Speaker 7: I'm talking like not just a roster guy trade is
- 28:34Speaker 7: one for one and these trades are and far between. Wow,
- 28:39Speaker 7: a lot more I'm talking about. I'm talking about in
- 28:43Speaker 7: in the baseball sense. If you want to bring in
- 28:46Speaker 7: you know, a forty to fifty home run hitter, you know,
- 28:49Speaker 7: ops of you know, pushing two hundred plus. I'm just,
- 28:52Speaker 7: you know, using hypothetical here. It's going to require a
- 28:56Speaker 7: couple of roster players, a couple of draft picks. From
- 28:58Speaker 7: what I've heard, it's going to require a massive kings ransom.
- 29:03Speaker 7: I mean, are are are the Blues right now in
- 29:05Speaker 7: the window where you know they need to haggle? I
- 29:08Speaker 7: don't know. I don't think so. They're fourteen points plus
- 29:11Speaker 7: out of the playoff picture from this week. It's clear
- 29:14Speaker 7: that they're trying to move in a different direction here
- 29:16Speaker 7: because they.
- 29:17Speaker 1: Have only one of five.
- 29:18Speaker 7: They only have five guys left in this roster that
- 29:20Speaker 7: won the cutback in twenty nineteen, and they have young
- 29:22Speaker 7: kids here who are on the come up and ready
- 29:24Speaker 7: here to take over massive positions. But as a GM,
- 29:28Speaker 7: as always, when you make a move, you want to
- 29:29Speaker 7: get the best piece possible here to set yourselves up.
- 29:32Speaker 7: So the question is, depending upon where these talks have moved,
- 29:35Speaker 7: depending upon what team, are you willing here to pay
- 29:38Speaker 7: the big price? My take is that he's worth the
- 29:40Speaker 7: price of admission. He plays a sneaky, high grade, offensively
- 29:46Speaker 7: fueled game. He's a great two way player. He's one
- 29:50Speaker 7: wherever he's went. I think he solves a lot of
- 29:52Speaker 7: your problems. And I kind of put this here within
- 29:54Speaker 7: the crack in big picture, if you can find a
- 29:56Speaker 7: way to make this move work. And again I also
- 29:59Speaker 7: want to add that there's word two that if this
- 30:02Speaker 7: doesn't work out for a big fisher in the crank inside,
- 30:04Speaker 7: they're looking still at the draft here from what I've heard,
- 30:07Speaker 7: and at July one, to make that big move again,
- 30:09Speaker 7: and they're going to reassess here. But in Thomas's case,
- 30:12Speaker 7: you bring him in or somebody else in as well.
- 30:15Speaker 2: What that does is that.
- 30:16Speaker 7: It bumps Veneers further down to that two C spot.
- 30:19Speaker 7: You bump Stevenson maybe down as well to a three C,
- 30:22Speaker 7: depending upon where Shane Wright fits. Freddie Gadreau ben Meyer's
- 30:27Speaker 7: great question. But what you're doing is that you are
- 30:30Speaker 7: strengthening one of the most important pieces here of your team,
- 30:33Speaker 7: and that's your center position, from top to bottom. They
- 30:36Speaker 7: call that the spine within your hockey line up here,
- 30:39Speaker 7: and Thomas is a one CE for what he can do,
- 30:42Speaker 7: take face offs, play big minutes, make you know top
- 30:45Speaker 7: end line nates better to you know, move veneers off
- 30:48Speaker 7: high leverage spots a little bit more to give him
- 30:52Speaker 7: better matchups as well. You're doing yourself a big favor here,
- 30:55Speaker 7: so depending upon the hall, I think my own take
- 30:58Speaker 7: is worth here.
- 30:58Speaker 2: For a guy like Robert Thomas.
- 31:00Speaker 1: The fantastic Mike Benton will be a pregame tonight six thirty. Uh,
- 31:04Speaker 1: they'll drop the buck seven o'clock. It'll be cracking senators.
- 31:07Speaker 1: But we got two hours and eighteen and a half
- 31:10Speaker 1: minutes before the NHL trading deadline, and Mike will not
- 31:14Speaker 1: move an inch until the time expires.
- 31:16Speaker 2: Thank you, sir.
- 31:17Speaker 4: Awesome.
- 31:17Speaker 2: As always, we'll talk to you soon.
- 31:19Speaker 7: All right, you have the same, my friend, appreciate you.
- 31:22Speaker 2: Hi to Bucky.
- 31:23Speaker 4: All right, there is Mike Benton joining us right here
- 31:25Speaker 4: on Chuck and Buck.

- 32:12Speaker 10: We have just over two hours to go and it
- 32:14Speaker 10: is crickets and not the kind of fry up or
- 32:16Speaker 10: covering chocolate like we keep getting told as a delicacy.
- 32:20Speaker 8: Enough with the insects, people, I don't want to eat them.
- 32:23Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, you'll get the oopsy poop, you will get the.
- 32:27Speaker 2: Too many insects. Everybody knows that.
- 32:30Speaker 8: Everybody knows that. But I digress. Yeah, NHL Trade.
- 32:34Speaker 1: Deadline sexual relationship.
- 32:36Speaker 10: Oh could have used that one yesterday too. All we
- 32:39Speaker 10: keep hearing is that the krack and need to make
- 32:41Speaker 10: a move, and it seems like we're the only ones
- 32:43Speaker 10: not moving anywhere.
- 32:45Speaker 8: Just silence. The clock is ticking, botrel Yeah.
- 32:48Speaker 1: Let's do this want Jason, I mean seriously, we were
- 32:51Speaker 1: joking about it earlier.
- 32:52Speaker 8: He does know, right, That's what I'm worried about.
- 32:54Speaker 1: Okay, you set the alarms for him and everything. There's
- 32:58Speaker 1: nothing more we can do.
- 33:00Speaker 4: Yeah, tell you that much.
- 33:01Speaker 10: Yeah, God, Okay, Monday's a very sorry.
- 33:06Speaker 8: I had to think about it. For a second.
- 33:07Speaker 10: Really, Monday's a very exciting day though Tampafess gets underway
- 33:11Speaker 10: and we are so.
- 33:12Speaker 8: Ready to get our tampon.
- 33:14Speaker 2: Get your tampon.
- 33:15Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean sure activity could be light, but I
- 33:19Speaker 10: doubt that the Seahawks.
- 33:20Speaker 8: And the NFL are going to cramp our style like that.
- 33:22Speaker 8: They wouldn't do that to.
- 33:23Speaker 2: Us, No, they would not.
- 33:25Speaker 10: Uh huh. I am expecting a constant flow of info
- 33:28Speaker 10: on the Old X on Monday, so it is best
- 33:30Speaker 10: to be prepared.
- 33:30Speaker 8: Just to remember that.
- 33:32Speaker 10: Yes, people do tend to get a little bit more
- 33:35Speaker 10: tense than normal during these periods, so.
- 33:37Speaker 8: I get it.
- 33:38Speaker 10: You know, it is a stressful few days with a
- 33:40Speaker 10: lot of emotions for thirty two NFL fan bases.
- 33:43Speaker 1: You're just pulling the string.
- 33:44Speaker 8: You are seeing what happens, what happens.
- 33:49Speaker 10: Speaking of cramping our style, Daylight Savings is this weekend
- 33:53Speaker 10: and it seems like it really snuck up on everyone.
- 33:55Speaker 10: The positive though we gain an hour of daylight. The negative,
- 33:58Speaker 10: of course, that we lose an hour of sleep, and
- 33:59Speaker 10: as we discuss earlier, losing sleep makes me grumpy. So
- 34:02Speaker 10: I am warning you all that I could be a
- 34:04Speaker 10: little on edge and ultra sensitive on Monday morning. Thank goodness,
- 34:08Speaker 10: we're gonna get our tampon though.
- 34:09Speaker 1: That should help, Oh, I should help.
- 34:12Speaker 5: It doesn't, I don't think though. Usually it doesn't help.
- 34:15Speaker 5: They just kind of bring more negativity that we'll find out.
- 34:17Speaker 8: There's only one way to find out.
- 34:19Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. We're just gonna live with it, that's right.
- 34:22Speaker 1: I do, though, wonder like you can't catch up on
- 34:24Speaker 1: that hour like you got.
- 34:25Speaker 10: All like Sunday in the morning, Well, Sunday I can't
- 34:27Speaker 10: because so this is the problem is on a normal Sunday,
- 34:30Speaker 10: I'm just sleeping.
- 34:31Speaker 8: You know, you figure it out. You don't see up
- 34:32Speaker 8: too late Saturdays, sleep in.
- 34:34Speaker 10: But this Sunday we are, as you'll find out later
- 34:37Speaker 10: in the Boos News, playing a tournament in North Bend.
- 34:41Speaker 10: And our first game on Sunday is at eight thirty,
- 34:45Speaker 10: which before the clock change will make it or you know,
- 34:48Speaker 10: because of the clock change will make it feel like seven thirty, right,
- 34:50Speaker 10: And we have to be there at seven thirty, which
- 34:52Speaker 10: will make it feel like six thirty, which means we
- 34:54Speaker 10: have to leave our house at six thirty, which will
- 34:56Speaker 10: feel like five thirty, which will feel like a Monday.
- 35:00Speaker 8: Now I do understand now you get it?
- 35:02Speaker 4: Yeah, now, before but that is very clear now.
- 35:06Speaker 2: I was uncoat with a great play.
- 35:08Speaker 8: Don't worry.
- 35:08Speaker 2: I know you're playing it butt cracking dogs on.
- 35:10Speaker 8: A Sunday, playing Saturday too, all right?
- 35:13Speaker 10: The World Baseball Classic is underway, with Team USA facing
- 35:16Speaker 10: Brazil tonight and the UK tomorrow. And are you noticing
- 35:19Speaker 10: a theme? Because these are football country? Do they know
- 35:23Speaker 10: the game, this one in particular, is played with a
- 35:25Speaker 10: ball and a stick?
- 35:27Speaker 8: Do they know?
- 35:28Speaker 2: I don't care?
- 35:29Speaker 8: Do they know you play with your hands?
- 35:31Speaker 5: I don't think that the fan base knows, but they
- 35:34Speaker 5: will have at least nine players.
- 35:35Speaker 8: Do they know the game can't end in a tie?
- 35:38Speaker 2: No? OK, probably don't know.
- 35:39Speaker 8: Well, someone should ask them these questions.
- 35:41Speaker 10: Personally, though, I am looking forward to Tomorrow's game and
- 35:43Speaker 10: getting to see two of Great Britain's most famous citizens,
- 35:46Speaker 10: Harry Ford and Jazz Chisselm tip of the cap. They're
- 35:51Speaker 10: going to be representing that Union jack like Proud Britz.
- 35:56Speaker 8: It's going to be exciting.
- 35:57Speaker 10: Prince yes, Prince yes, Uh, speaking hardball, that was actually
- 36:03Speaker 10: a really bad transition because now we are going to
- 36:04Speaker 10: talk about softball, and soft is the opposite of hard
- 36:08Speaker 10: but Palmer the Great Softball team. Yeah, they are headed
- 36:10Speaker 10: to Bucky's Neck of the Woods for a weekend tournament,
- 36:12Speaker 10: and she has requested his presence and the meat stick.
- 36:16Speaker 10: Oh okay, to be fair, I do think the meat
- 36:19Speaker 10: stick is the most important part.
- 36:21Speaker 2: Well, that's chose meat stick first.
- 36:25Speaker 10: She said, is Bucky coming? And I said, I don't know.
- 36:27Speaker 10: I can tell him. Will he bring me a meat stick?
- 36:30Speaker 2: Okay?
- 36:31Speaker 8: That is how the conversation went.
- 36:33Speaker 1: All right, are you going to have are you gonna
- 36:34Speaker 1: go and evaluate or swing?
- 36:36Speaker 2: That's a good chance.
- 36:37Speaker 10: We have two games in the afternoon on Saturday, so
- 36:39Speaker 10: that will be much better timing.
- 36:41Speaker 2: I'm going to need the timing. I got the m's.
- 36:44Speaker 5: The Emeralds have practice at one thirty. Okay, maybe I'll
- 36:47Speaker 5: stop by after that.
- 36:48Speaker 8: We've got a game at twelve thirty and four.
- 36:52Speaker 2: Okay. So it sounds like it's horrible timing.
- 36:54Speaker 4: Yeah, barely.
- 36:55Speaker 8: Yeah, but then we'll have two games on Sunday. Yeah.
- 36:58Speaker 10: Well, and Palmer also requested that Great to be there,
- 37:00Speaker 10: and I said, what about what about Bear?
- 37:02Speaker 5: Because yeah, he can come to Okay, great, She'd like
- 37:05Speaker 5: to see Grace and probably Kate, and that means dick
- 37:09Speaker 5: and then if Bear and I come, fine, as long
- 37:11Speaker 5: as we have meat stretched.
- 37:13Speaker 8: That's the impression I got, all right, yeah.
- 37:15Speaker 2: At the rules? Yeah yeah yeah, and.
- 37:18Speaker 8: Again there is two games on Sunday, the first ones
- 37:21Speaker 8: at eat thirty. I don't expect anyone to be there.
- 37:23Speaker 10: Because I don't want to be there at that time,
- 37:24Speaker 10: but there will be another one after that, so I
- 37:26Speaker 10: will keep you updated.
- 37:28Speaker 2: I love album direct.
- 37:29Speaker 4: Palmer is Yes, this is what I want, and this
- 37:31Speaker 4: is what I want to attend.
- 37:32Speaker 8: She doesn't really like Beth Dutton in her Yes, she does,
- 37:35Speaker 8: she does. She's gonna that's gonna be a good thing.
- 37:39Speaker 10: Yeah, well it will be when she's an adult. It's
- 37:41Speaker 10: gonna cause me a lot of stress.
- 37:42Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm trying to raise a Beth Dutton as well,
- 37:44Speaker 5: but it's not going to be fun.
- 37:46Speaker 8: That is a badass. I love it. That's it. I'm done.
- 37:50Speaker 4: Cheers, Ice work, well, good luck. It should be a
- 37:52Speaker 4: lot of fun up there. And Saskill watch it.
- 37:55Speaker 8: You should come up that place, Saskatoon.
- 37:57Speaker 4: What is it?
- 37:58Speaker 2: Yeah, that's an actual place in Canada.
- 38:00Speaker 5: I think you should come out chop some wood early
- 38:03Speaker 5: and then you can go watch Palmer the great play.
- 38:05Speaker 8: There you go. Yeah, you could write some stats down.
- 38:07Speaker 2: Matter of those between games.
- 38:09Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, matter of fact, in between games, maybe we
- 38:11Speaker 5: have Palmer come out.
- 38:12Speaker 2: And chop some wood.
- 38:13Speaker 8: Oh, that'll work.
- 38:14Speaker 5: Well, we did at Elsie State National champions You did
- 38:16Speaker 5: give her a meat stick.
- 38:17Speaker 10: Yeah, if you give her a meat stick, then you
- 38:19Speaker 10: might be able to get her to chop wood, because
- 38:21Speaker 10: getting her to clean a room is hard.
- 38:23Speaker 1: Okay, all right, that'll do it for us.
- 38:26Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us.
