1:05
Speaker 1: against Portland tonight at seven thirty pregame and seven FIFA
1:10
Speaker 1: felts or is it back to furious felts Now?
1:12
Speaker 2: I think he's FIFA.

Speaker 1: He's FIFA felt still.
1:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, well he's also Sounders felts.
1:16
Speaker 1: We're gonna go with FIFA felts right now.
1:19
Speaker 2: I like it. I think he's not very furious.
1:21
Speaker 1: Do we still have the talkback that we can play
1:24
Speaker 1: for him later to kind of introduce this I'm gonna
1:27
Speaker 1: have to find I was dying when I heard that. Anyway,
1:29
Speaker 1: Jet Jackson's got pregame. By the way, seven o'clock again
1:33
Speaker 1: Sounders against Portland at seven thirty Maritors mid season break.
1:36
Speaker 1: They're back tomorrow against the San Francisco Giants. We're gonna
1:41
Speaker 1: dive into them as well. What do you want to
1:43
Speaker 1: see them do? Plus also much more to learn about
1:45
Speaker 1: the Seahawks and their ownership. Without further ado, let's start
1:50
Speaker 1: the show. Greg is zot for today, Greg is off
1:52
Speaker 1: for tomorrow. I'm in with Jess. Great to have you
1:55
Speaker 1: once again. Four nine four five one ta coma Dodge
1:58
Speaker 1: text line. We will get to your talkbacks because we're
2:01
Speaker 1: kind of in the whole recess period of this whole
2:03
Speaker 1: Seattle sports landscape. In this schedule, there's no Mariners until tomorrow.
2:08
Speaker 1: The Seahawks are about roughly a week and a half
2:11
Speaker 1: away from training camp. The Kraken are also deep into
2:15
Speaker 1: slumber except for today, because the NHL schedule is out,
2:19
Speaker 1: and I mean out literally any second right now. We
2:23
Speaker 1: do know that the home opener will be October fourth
2:26
Speaker 1: against the Calgary Flames. The NHL has just actually announced
2:31
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six and twenty seven regular season schedule.
2:35
Speaker 1: Eighty four games on this thing. No longer eighty two,
2:39
Speaker 1: it will be eighty four. This cutchback on the preseason schedule.
2:43
Speaker 1: Less time for players to go through excessive repetitive reps,
2:48
Speaker 1: potential to get hurt, and you also get more prime matchups.
2:52
Speaker 1: Plus also the crackuner're going to go to Finland to
2:54
Speaker 1: play the defending Stanley Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes coming up
3:00
Speaker 1: in November. That is going to be a blast. Ever,
3:03
Speaker 1: if it's he's going to be here to talk about
3:05
Speaker 1: this at about ten twenty. Also, Bobby McMahon, the one
3:10
Speaker 1: and only Bobby McMahon sign seal delivered. He's joining us
3:15
Speaker 1: as well, coming up at a little past eleven. Plus
3:18
Speaker 1: again your talkbacks, you're text four nine four or five
3:20
Speaker 1: one Tacoma Dodge text line. Also at the talk back side,
3:25
Speaker 1: I kind of wanted to roll in with this here, Jess,
3:27
Speaker 1: you actually encouraged me to do this, and I was
3:30
Speaker 1: about you did? You did, and I was so happy.
3:34
Speaker 2: I didn't want to take it.
3:35
Speaker 1: I was kind I was kind of on the fence
3:37
Speaker 1: of wearing this here, and I said, why the heck not.
3:40
Speaker 1: Of course, it's not often that I can show up
3:42
Speaker 1: in a baseball or a softball jersey.
3:44
Speaker 3: I mean, but it's an All Star jersey. But if
3:47
Speaker 3: you you you have to do it.
3:48
Speaker 1: But I mean, if you get the chance, if you
3:51
Speaker 1: get the call to play in the Seattle All Star
3:55
Speaker 1: Celebrity Softball Challenge, like what happened this last weekend at
3:59
Speaker 1: Cheney State, you darn best answer that call.
4:04
Speaker 2: And you did back the phone.
4:07
Speaker 1: And there there is only one reason why I would
4:09
Speaker 1: do this here is because if you compare me to
4:14
Speaker 1: my kids at age eleven and age eighty, they they
4:18
Speaker 1: they play multiple sports. They're also baseball kids. I had
4:23
Speaker 1: maybe one one hundredth of the skill level they had.
4:27
Speaker 1: I kind of realized by about age eleven or age twelve,
4:30
Speaker 1: the big leagues aren't going to happen. So getting that
4:34
Speaker 1: call really that early, that exactly that early. My season
4:39
Speaker 1: high for hits in Little League one year was three
4:43
Speaker 1: three for for for you YouTubers.
4:44
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, that's a good realization then.
4:46
Speaker 1: So by the time I was about twelve, my my
4:51
Speaker 1: father and I had a good conversation where it was,
4:55
Speaker 1: if you wanted to keep doing baseball, great, I'll support you.
4:59
Speaker 1: I love you. I was also getting into golf. By
5:02
Speaker 1: the way, if you want to play competitive golf, great,
5:05
Speaker 1: I'll support you. I love you. But I'm only paying
5:08
Speaker 1: for one or the other. I'm not paying for multiple.
5:13
Speaker 1: And this is also before the land of select baseball,
5:16
Speaker 1: which is just rampant now in this country, not just
5:19
Speaker 1: for baseball, but for basketball, for hockey, lacrosse, soccer as well. Yes,
5:26
Speaker 1: so I mean we're just talking about just little league,
5:29
Speaker 1: reg league, house league stuff. But then the golf bug
5:33
Speaker 1: was buying me big time. I said, I kind of
5:35
Speaker 1: realized where my ceiling was. I was like, let's go
5:38
Speaker 1: with golf the rest of history. So when you get
5:40
Speaker 1: a chance to do this. Walking into Cheney Stadium, I
5:44
Speaker 1: had never felt closer to being a big league player
5:48
Speaker 1: than I did that day. So it just an incredible
5:51
Speaker 1: shout out to all those involved. To my man J C.
5:55
Speaker 1: Rashid Shaheed also who was our team captain, Uchennanoosu also
5:59
Speaker 1: who was a coh MO year of this event, Terry
6:01
Speaker 1: Hallman who was phenomenal on the mic and he's really
6:05
Speaker 1: good MVP Kylie Studio, Soo Sotball legend of this area.
6:09
Speaker 1: She also does great work at a teaching out to
6:12
Speaker 1: a local facility up in Lynnwood. Casey Sadler, also former Mariner,
6:17
Speaker 1: hit the walk off home run for us between team
6:21
Speaker 1: We did not care. The jersey right here says it all.
6:26
Speaker 1: And I got a little bit of gears to give
6:28
Speaker 1: to Everett Fitzu who was on Team dark Side from
6:31
Speaker 1: the dark Side Defense, and we made sure we made
6:34
Speaker 1: a big old video and a big deal out of
6:35
Speaker 1: this year. So I got some surprises. I Instagram, by
6:40
Speaker 1: the way, first off is a good place to go.
6:41
Speaker 1: I think I may have the video kind of gloating
6:44
Speaker 1: a little bit here, but I got I claimed bragging
6:47
Speaker 1: rights for a full year after we won this thing,
6:53
Speaker 1: So I got bragging rights. Now fitz is still kind
6:55
Speaker 1: of feeling it and we're going to get to him
6:58
Speaker 1: at about ten twenty.
6:59
Speaker 2: I feel like I want to play the natural themes.
7:04
Speaker 1: You have time or should we just come back and
7:07
Speaker 1: bring him in with this?
7:08
Speaker 3: No, I think that you keep going and give me
7:11
Speaker 3: one second.
7:12
Speaker 1: I think we should. I think we should. So the
7:14
Speaker 1: NHL schedules out, by the way, we're gonna get ever
7:16
Speaker 1: it fits you wanted about ten twenty, It's gonna be
7:18
Speaker 1: eighty four games and the earliest at the NHL has
7:21
Speaker 1: ever started. It's gonna actually go into September. National Hockey
7:25
Speaker 1: League season opens up September twenty night. That will be
7:29
Speaker 1: a triple header night. If you're a Kracking fan, you're
7:32
Speaker 1: watching your listening locally, you got to wait a couple
7:35
Speaker 1: of days here for the season two get underway with that.
7:38
Speaker 1: But it will be October one for the Kraken where
7:41
Speaker 1: they will start their regular season schedule against the Calgary Flames.
7:46
Speaker 1: That's going to be pretty cool because that will be
7:49
Speaker 1: the last ever game for the Kraken or any team
7:53
Speaker 1: to play opening night at the Saddle Dome. After that,
7:56
Speaker 1: the Calgary Flames will be moving into a brand new building.
8:02
Speaker 1: It's coming, it's coming. It went away, It's coming.
8:06
Speaker 2: No, I was, I was teasing.
8:08
Speaker 1: You, so the like I got one app bat, by
8:11
Speaker 1: the way in that softball game, one app bat because
8:14
Speaker 1: there's a lot of like twenty two players here.
8:16
Speaker 2: And then what happened?
8:17
Speaker 1: So for you YouTubers, I grab a bat. Where are
8:24
Speaker 1: my son's batting gloves? Also?
8:26
Speaker 2: Well they fit you? Oh benon fifty five? Does that
8:31
Speaker 2: number mean something to you?
8:33
Speaker 1: Out goes my head's set here. I'm just trying to
8:36
Speaker 1: lean into this way way, way, way way too much.
8:38
Speaker 4: You know what.
8:39
Speaker 2: We love a performance from Mike Benten.
8:41
Speaker 1: Uh anyway, my goodness, this is beautiful YouTube. And after
8:47
Speaker 1: about two pitches I immediately grinded out too shortstop and
8:50
Speaker 1: ever it fits. He was waiting at it for a
8:51
Speaker 1: space for the putout as well. It was ever, but
8:55
Speaker 1: we had we we we had a good fist bump
8:57
Speaker 1: back with.
8:57
Speaker 2: That, so Fitz bump yes.
9:01
Speaker 1: By the way, shout out to Everett. He had one
9:03
Speaker 1: at bat as well, bases loaded, jam we were in.
9:07
Speaker 1: Fitch put the ball in play and reached I believe
9:09
Speaker 1: on a ET six or a E five. So he
9:11
Speaker 1: did his job as well. But we had a blast.
9:13
Speaker 1: We were chirping back back and forth between the dugouts.
9:16
Speaker 2: And whatnot that only happens when your friends.
9:18
Speaker 1: But it was just a fantastic event. I mean, we
9:22
Speaker 1: mentioned Kylie, we mentioned Casey Sadler. Kylie also won the
9:27
Speaker 1: home run derby was MVP of the event. Denzel Boston
9:31
Speaker 1: also showing up for a Team We Did Not Care,
9:33
Speaker 1: had a great chance to talk with the Miles Gaskin
9:35
Speaker 1: Bender also who was in the building with one of
9:39
Speaker 1: our local stations also suiting up for Team we did
9:42
Speaker 1: Not Care. So great times as well this last weekend
9:46
Speaker 1: over at Cheney Stadium. This goes on each and every
9:49
Speaker 1: year and a great event for a great cause for
9:52
Speaker 1: local communities as well. Ten twenty again. Ever it fits
9:55
Speaker 1: you coming up. The Kraken schedule is out, the NHL
9:58
Speaker 1: schedule is out as well, eighty four games, and we
10:01
Speaker 1: got a lot to make out of this here. But
10:03
Speaker 1: also what you're gonna find out, at least from right now,
10:07
Speaker 1: October is going to potentially show up. This team will
10:10
Speaker 1: be made of because of the schedule that they have
10:14
Speaker 1: and there's going to be a lot of travel involved.
10:18
Speaker 1: But we're gonna jump into this a bit. Ever it
10:20
Speaker 1: fits you right around the corner, Mike Bent and Jessmon
10:23
Speaker 1: in here for Greg Bill ninety three three kJ RFM
10:44
Speaker 1: cracket schedules out eighty four games. Last time the league
10:47
Speaker 1: went FIFTEEP was Z three oh four and it's gonna
10:50
Speaker 1: open up October first at Calgary, last ever home opener
10:54
Speaker 1: at the old scot Chamang Saddle Dome. It's one of
10:57
Speaker 1: the oldest buildings, by the way, in the NHL, and
11:00
Speaker 1: up there with Madison Square Garden. And also, by the way,
11:02
Speaker 1: did you know this climbing Pledge Arena? Yet, technically it
11:05
Speaker 1: does count as one of the older ones because the
11:07
Speaker 1: roof is a part of that. But we have a
11:09
Speaker 1: lot to get to the Crack in two games on
11:12
Speaker 1: European soil for the Global Series, and a whole lot
11:15
Speaker 1: of road games to get going in this as I
11:18
Speaker 1: welcome my fellow softball partner pal friend Dynamo on the
11:25
Speaker 1: Beacon Plumbing Hotline, the one and only Crack and radio
11:28
Speaker 1: play by play man Everett Fits you Fits. I'm not
11:32
Speaker 1: too sure if you can see this here via the YouTubers,
11:35
Speaker 1: but what was the final score of our game last weekend?
11:39
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter what the score was, Mike. What matters
11:41
Speaker 4: is yet what matters is your team had people batting
11:45
Speaker 4: out of order. You had a couple of professional softball
11:49
Speaker 4: players batting out of order. Yes, Casey Sadler hit the
11:53
Speaker 4: walk off, but did you tell them that Casey Sadler
11:55
Speaker 4: also batted like five people earlier in a twenty three
11:59
Speaker 4: per roster. So all I'm saying I.
12:02
Speaker 1: Called loopholes though loopholes.
12:05
Speaker 4: All all I'm saying is well, technically the final score
12:09
Speaker 4: was in your team's favor. Clearly y'all did care enough
12:14
Speaker 4: to bat out of order and bring up your ringers
12:17
Speaker 4: when it mattered the most.
12:18
Speaker 1: For those of you watching on YouTube, by the way,
12:21
Speaker 1: like the old meme says, deal with it, we did
12:28
Speaker 1: not care. I might keep these glasses on for the
12:31
Speaker 1: entire interview.
12:32
Speaker 3: You know what's amazing, We have lightning strikes outside this building,
12:35
Speaker 3: and as soon as he put on those amazing sunglasses.
12:39
Speaker 1: That couldn't have been any better, any better.
12:44
Speaker 2: I wish you were here in person.
12:46
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, Fits. It was great playing your buddy.
12:49
Speaker 1: Great catching up from this last weekend. But yeah, let's
12:52
Speaker 1: get to hear to this schedule. First, office schedules out
12:55
Speaker 1: to eighty four games. What's the most eye catching thing
12:58
Speaker 1: for you at the top of this, well.
13:01
Speaker 4: I think obviously it's it's the trip to Finland, you know,
13:03
Speaker 4: the cracking going overseas for the very first time, and
13:07
Speaker 4: a number of teams have done this trip and it
13:10
Speaker 4: sometimes has played out in their favor. You get an
13:13
Speaker 4: early season team bonding trip, you get to go on
13:16
Speaker 4: a global stage. The NHL brings the same pomp and
13:20
Speaker 4: circumstance for these Global Series games as they do for
13:24
Speaker 4: any of their other marquee events that win a Classic,
13:27
Speaker 4: All Star Games, things like that, So I'm looking forward
13:30
Speaker 4: to that. I'm also looking forward to an early season
13:34
Speaker 4: slew of road games. I think back and say six
13:36
Speaker 4: of their first eight on the road, not seven of
13:40
Speaker 4: their first nine, something like that on the road. So
13:43
Speaker 4: once again you're going to have that opportunity to really bond,
13:46
Speaker 4: to get to know your teammates better. And a lot
13:48
Speaker 4: of players will tell you you like having those early
13:51
Speaker 4: season road trips as an opportunity to kind of put
13:55
Speaker 4: all those distractions behind them and just focus on high
14:00
Speaker 4: And you'll see a team sometimes when they have these
14:03
Speaker 4: massive road trips to start, they come back, you know
14:07
Speaker 4: with a seven and four record or an eight and
14:10
Speaker 4: three record, or something like that through their first month,
14:14
Speaker 4: and that really sets them up for success minimally at
14:17
Speaker 4: least until the Christmas break, which a lot of folks
14:19
Speaker 4: know that sometimes can be that determining factor of if
14:23
Speaker 4: you make playoffs or not. But I like this schedule.
14:26
Speaker 4: You're playing every team in your division now four times,
14:29
Speaker 4: so you don't have that odd algorithm. The cracket. Have
14:34
Speaker 4: got some longer breaks off this season, the week off
14:37
Speaker 4: for Christmas, you've got the week off in February. Of course,
14:40
Speaker 4: you've got some days off on either side of your
14:43
Speaker 4: Finland trips. So there's gonna be some opportunity for this
14:45
Speaker 4: cracking team to not get overwhelmed and overtired, maybe like
14:51
Speaker 4: we saw last season.
14:52
Speaker 1: When you mentioned the first seven to nine games here
14:54
Speaker 1: on the road. Again, Ever, IF's you're joining us in
14:55
Speaker 1: the Beacon Plumbing hotline, there's Calgary, Edmonton, Detroit, that trip
15:00
Speaker 1: by the way, Washington, Philadelphia, Tampa Bay and Florida, and
15:05
Speaker 1: all of a sudden boom, you come back home facing
15:07
Speaker 1: the Red Wings and you hope that you're in good shape.
15:09
Speaker 1: So how big is the start of the season.
15:11
Speaker 4: Fits, I think it's big. It's really really massive, And
15:17
Speaker 4: I again I like it from a competition standpoint where
15:22
Speaker 4: you're going to be tested early against teams that you're
15:26
Speaker 4: going to have to beat in the playoffs. The caliber
15:29
Speaker 4: of team that you're going to see in April, in March,
15:33
Speaker 4: going down the stretch, run hopefully well into April and
15:37
Speaker 4: even into May and the playoffs. You need to beat
15:40
Speaker 4: these teams. You know you have an opportunity early in
15:42
Speaker 4: the first month of the season. You've got a game,
15:45
Speaker 4: a couple of games with Edmonton, got two games in
15:47
Speaker 4: there with Calgary. You've got a long East Coast Eastern
15:52
Speaker 4: Conference road trip. While might not mean much in the
15:56
Speaker 4: standings in terms of your playoff seating, you want to
15:59
Speaker 4: find way to get wins in Florida, in Tampa, in
16:03
Speaker 4: Detroit you know they're going off of a general manager change.
16:06
Speaker 4: Now you've got the Red Wings two times in two weeks.
16:09
Speaker 4: That's a team like Seattle Hungary to get back to
16:12
Speaker 4: the playoffs. That's the caliber of team that you're going
16:16
Speaker 4: to have to be better than if you want to
16:18
Speaker 4: get into the postseason. So I like it. It's challenging,
16:23
Speaker 4: it comes heavy. You know you've got games every other day.
16:26
Speaker 4: It's a compact month of October and like I said,
16:31
Speaker 4: you know, you've got just not looking at the schedule
16:33
Speaker 4: in front of me now, but you've got what fourteen
16:35
Speaker 4: games in that first month of the season than another
16:38
Speaker 4: couple So let's say you've got eighteen games going into Finland.
16:42
Speaker 4: If you could find a way to be over five
16:46
Speaker 4: hundred in those first sixteen, eighteen to twenty games going
16:50
Speaker 4: into Finland, you're setting yourself up for some success down
16:53
Speaker 4: the rest of the way.
16:54
Speaker 1: Part of this roster is tied to the intrigue of
16:57
Speaker 1: opening nine and even I would say, going to the
16:59
Speaker 1: Global Series when the crack and face the Hurricanes in November.
17:03
Speaker 1: And so far they've got Bobby Bobby McMahon back on board,
17:07
Speaker 1: They've got Mackie Samuskevitch as well. They have said goodbye
17:10
Speaker 1: to Jamie Alexi Act, to Jayden Schwartz. They're out the door.
17:13
Speaker 1: We don't know yet what's going on with Ellie Tolvinen.
17:15
Speaker 1: We don't know what's going on yet here with Shane Wright.
17:17
Speaker 1: But so far, Everett to find the progress on the
17:21
Speaker 1: shroster to.
17:21
Speaker 4: You, I think the progress has been measured. I think
17:26
Speaker 4: the progress has been calculated. You know, it can be
17:30
Speaker 4: very easy especially given the Krakens lack of success. So really,
17:35
Speaker 4: you know, want to throw fire in Brimstone. Why didn't
17:38
Speaker 4: they go out and trade for this guy? Why didn't
17:40
Speaker 4: they go out and sign this guy. I've never been
17:43
Speaker 4: a big fan of making moves just to make a move.
17:47
Speaker 4: That's how you end up in the situation that other
17:50
Speaker 4: teams are in right now. Yes, the Jason Robertson spurning
17:55
Speaker 4: didn't feel good, and the Artemi Panaer and Sperning back
17:59
Speaker 4: in may or Mark which rather didn't feel good. But
18:01
Speaker 4: you're seeing Jason Bostrol make those moves. And everyone wants
18:05
Speaker 4: to talk about being aggressive in a prolific offseason, Well,
18:08
Speaker 4: listen to me. Being aggressive doesn't necessarily mean the end result.
18:13
Speaker 4: It's the act of trying to get these guys in.
18:16
Speaker 4: So I think that even though despite the crack and
18:19
Speaker 4: didn't get those players that they were going after, Bobby
18:22
Speaker 4: McMahon was your top offseason priority. You sign him. He
18:26
Speaker 4: now is going to be comfortable. He now is a
18:28
Speaker 4: legitimate top six forward on this roster. You bring in
18:32
Speaker 4: Maki Samuskevitch, who is only twenty three years old. He's
18:35
Speaker 4: got a ton of upside. He can shoot the buck,
18:37
Speaker 4: you can skate like the wind. He's not afraid to
18:41
Speaker 4: get his hands dirty a little bit. And you see
18:43
Speaker 4: where he was playing in Florida. You're playing behind a Kachuck,
18:48
Speaker 4: and you're playing behind a Barkov, and you're playing behind
18:52
Speaker 4: some of these guys who are are a head of
18:55
Speaker 4: you in the lineup for good. Now he's going to
18:58
Speaker 4: have an opportunity to, like Bobby McMahon, spread his proverbial
19:02
Speaker 4: wings and fly a little bit, show off his skill
19:05
Speaker 4: set what he can bring. And he's only twenty two
19:07
Speaker 4: years old, twenty three years old, so he's got plenty
19:09
Speaker 4: of upside. I like that move didn't cost you a
19:12
Speaker 4: whole lot to get him as well. I do think
19:14
Speaker 4: that there may be another move out there. Obviously we
19:17
Speaker 4: talk about Shan Wright, Jared McCann, Vince Done, some of
19:21
Speaker 4: those names have come up in trade conversations. Now, Jason
19:25
Speaker 4: has always said he's not going to make a move
19:27
Speaker 4: either just to make a move. It's got to make sense.
19:29
Speaker 4: It's got to make sense for this team moving forward
19:32
Speaker 4: and currently today. So I don't think this team is done,
19:37
Speaker 4: but I wouldn't hold my breath for that major Earth
19:41
Speaker 4: shattering move that I think a lot of folks are expecting.
19:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, where does that? He is still looking to take
19:46
Speaker 1: swings out there into this month. He said so about
19:49
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. And you know, if you
19:51
Speaker 1: look for an upgrade like that, you're looking for a
19:53
Speaker 1: stopball upgrade, kind of like Casey Sadler's bat as well
19:56
Speaker 1: back in the late innings here. So I ask.
19:59
Speaker 4: You, I ask you, good conversation.
20:02
Speaker 1: I had to tie it in. I had to tie
20:04
Speaker 1: it in there. You know, this bigger upgrade by trade
20:07
Speaker 1: here for this team, Everett is a good if they
20:10
Speaker 1: could have the key to unlock this for the top line.
20:13
Speaker 1: Is a bigger get at center or is a bigger
20:15
Speaker 1: get at the wing?
20:18
Speaker 4: You know, I'm gonna say the bigger get's gonna be
20:21
Speaker 4: at the wing simply because I like the game that
20:26
Speaker 4: Maddy Beniers showed last season. I mean, yes, his offense
20:30
Speaker 4: dipped a little bit, but he added a legitimate two
20:35
Speaker 4: hundred foot game defensive side game to his defensive side
20:39
Speaker 4: of the buck game last season, and I think he
20:42
Speaker 4: morphed into definitely in the division, one of the better
20:46
Speaker 4: two way centnermons that we have in the Pacific Division.
20:48
Speaker 4: I also think that in taking Jason Boscholl's words, not
20:53
Speaker 4: trying to hinder the development of other players, this team
20:56
Speaker 4: wants to get Berkeley Catton back at center. They want
20:59
Speaker 4: to give him some regular reps in the middle of
21:01
Speaker 4: the ice. So I think if you can bring in
21:04
Speaker 4: an experienced offensive winger that can protect him a little bit,
21:08
Speaker 4: that can clean up some of those potential young mistakes
21:11
Speaker 4: that we're going to see out of a Birthley Cat
21:13
Speaker 4: and again not his fault, he's only played one year
21:15
Speaker 4: in the NHL. I think that'll pay dividends off. But
21:18
Speaker 4: once again, it all depends. And I've said this before
21:21
Speaker 4: and I'll say it again. If you're trying to upgrade
21:24
Speaker 4: this team, you're going to have to work the problem backwards.
21:27
Speaker 4: You look at this roster and you have to say
21:29
Speaker 4: to yourself, who on the Seattle Kraken. If I'm an
21:32
Speaker 4: opposing team do I want on my roster. So then
21:36
Speaker 4: you go, okay, well, if I want player X from Seattle,
21:40
Speaker 4: I'm going to hopefully try to keep player why on
21:42
Speaker 4: my team. So the crack and are going to have
21:44
Speaker 4: to be prepared potentially to lose maybe a big piece
21:48
Speaker 4: a couple of big prospects, a couple of high draft picks,
21:51
Speaker 4: which it sounds like them from everything that we've heard
21:53
Speaker 4: from management. Everything's in play, which it has to be
21:57
Speaker 4: going into this season.
21:58
Speaker 1: Well, they'll never ever trade you. They won't trade us
22:00
Speaker 1: hopefully here from the sopball ranks. But it was great
22:03
Speaker 1: hanging out, my friend. I owe you a beverage. It
22:05
Speaker 1: was great competing with you. But let's get to this
22:08
Speaker 1: soon and hopefully I hope your family's also doing well
22:10
Speaker 1: this summer too.
22:12
Speaker 4: Yep, everyone's doing well. Thanks.
22:13
Speaker 1: Thank awesome you, bet Everett, thank you for joining us. Ever,
22:16
Speaker 1: if it's you joining us via the Beacon Plumbing hotline,
22:18
Speaker 1: I can take off the deal with that shades right now.
22:21
Speaker 1: I don't know I had that plan.
22:23
Speaker 2: By the way, I enjoyed you as a meme.
22:26
Speaker 1: I think really anybody who has been tuning in for
22:31
Speaker 1: the last roughly ten minutes has had a chance to
22:33
Speaker 1: screenshot this now and turn me into a meme. I
22:37
Speaker 1: don't know if it's ever it, or if it's anybody
22:39
Speaker 1: else here, or if it's me or even you. I
22:42
Speaker 1: wouldn't put it past you as well. I wouldn't put
22:45
Speaker 1: it past for three to seven guys on top of.
22:46
Speaker 3: That, it's pretty So mine was just like I set
22:51
Speaker 3: myself up. You know, I didn't do it on my phone,
22:53
Speaker 3: so it's just a picture of my.
22:56
Speaker 2: Computer essentially.
22:58
Speaker 1: Yes, at least we had the full of you go
23:00
Speaker 1: up and the lightning didn't strike and take us all down.
23:04
Speaker 1: Can harry out.
23:04
Speaker 3: Because it is, But it's because the second you put
23:09
Speaker 3: on the sunglasses the power flickered.
23:11
Speaker 1: We need to save that video. We need to save
23:13
Speaker 1: that like, oh yeah, if there's actually a promo video,
23:16
Speaker 1: like I don't want to get to a radio radio lingo.
23:19
Speaker 1: We hear. We call this drops like a save that drop,
23:22
Speaker 1: Save that drop. That might be a.
23:24
Speaker 2: Good video for Okay, you clip it.
23:26
Speaker 1: That might be a good video. So yeah, we'll find
23:28
Speaker 1: a way to clip this year ever it fits you.
23:30
Speaker 1: Joining us in the Beacon Plumbing hotline once again. The
23:33
Speaker 1: Kraken schedule is out today. We're gonna get Bobby McMahon
23:36
Speaker 1: with us also a little past the eleven o'clock hour,
23:39
Speaker 1: joining us in the middle of his offseason workouts, and
23:41
Speaker 1: he's a big part of how this team is going
23:44
Speaker 1: to get turned over. But I'm just going to refresh
23:46
Speaker 1: a question for you once again missing the postseason for
23:49
Speaker 1: four of the first five years. We heard the word
23:51
Speaker 1: aggressive from Jason botterrel. But there are young kids coming
23:56
Speaker 1: as well. Do you want another big piece come here
24:00
Speaker 1: to this roster? Do you see the playoffs realistically or
24:04
Speaker 1: do you want to see the slower build here with
24:06
Speaker 1: the kids four nine five one to Komodash text line,
24:10
Speaker 1: I want to hear your talkbacks as well. Whatever you got,
24:13
Speaker 1: however you want to say it, jump in right now talkbacks.
24:16
Speaker 1: Also to Komodash text line four nine four five one.
24:20
Speaker 1: They got McMahon, which was a great start. They got
24:23
Speaker 1: Makie Samuskevitch, which was a great start as well. Then
24:27
Speaker 1: you hit the snag with Jason Robertson. Then I think
24:31
Speaker 1: after that the narratives which began to evolve from the
24:34
Speaker 1: Robertson situation, fair or unfair as it was, I thought
24:39
Speaker 1: more so unfair really helped, I think define the course
24:44
Speaker 1: of where this franchise had to go at the draft,
24:48
Speaker 1: because they were big game hunting, maybe that week, maybe
24:52
Speaker 1: around the draft, definitely, But yet they went ahead with
24:55
Speaker 1: every draft pick. And I mentioned this previously on other
24:58
Speaker 1: airwaves on the station. The morning of that draft. Perhaps
25:02
Speaker 1: it was a sign, perhaps it was a morsel of
25:07
Speaker 1: guiding light of information that they had to lean into
25:11
Speaker 1: the young kids and there could be a potential franchise
25:14
Speaker 1: game changer right under their nose. And what do you know, Hello,
25:20
Speaker 1: Chase Reid, who many were saying, even at a few
25:25
Speaker 1: months ago. It was not Kevin McKenna, it was not
25:29
Speaker 1: Evar Stenberg. It was Chase Reid potentially who could be
25:33
Speaker 1: the best player in the draft, definitely the best defenseman
25:38
Speaker 1: at the draft. So this is a franchise game changer.
25:43
Speaker 1: He may not be here for one year, but the
25:46
Speaker 1: kind of return on an investment you're getting with him
25:49
Speaker 1: could be worth it years upon years upon years down
25:53
Speaker 1: the road.
25:54
Speaker 2: Yeah.
25:54
Speaker 3: The one thing because he came on with Ian right
25:57
Speaker 3: after the draft, Chase did speaking of and you can
26:02
Speaker 3: just tell the maturity of someone in an interview. And
26:07
Speaker 3: I don't judge people who aren't well versed at all,
26:10
Speaker 3: but he was ready, appreciative, excited, and also he's going
26:15
Speaker 3: to play in college, and that I think is one
26:19
Speaker 3: of the things that we you know, these guys get
26:22
Speaker 3: into the minors when they're sixteen, seventeen years old. He's
26:25
Speaker 3: going to college and he is going to play there
26:28
Speaker 3: and he's playing with the big boys.
26:30
Speaker 1: Well that's that's also a big thing, Jess, because are
26:34
Speaker 1: how you go into the college game now was different
26:36
Speaker 1: versus back ten years ago when you had guys playing
26:39
Speaker 1: major junior and you you're stuck there for you know, nineteen,
26:43
Speaker 1: maybe even twenty years of age unless your name was
26:46
Speaker 1: say Sidney Crosby or Nathan McKinnon or Connor McData.
26:49
Speaker 3: Those were just one off. So those were just you know,
26:53
Speaker 3: the anomaly. Yeah, right, and now it's almost like they
26:57
Speaker 3: set an expectation.
26:58
Speaker 1: But now the game is changing because you can have
27:00
Speaker 1: players go back and forth like you couldn't do this
27:03
Speaker 1: about ten fifteen years ago, going from say whl or
27:08
Speaker 1: from where Chase Reid is the Ohl out in Ontario
27:11
Speaker 1: to go play college hockey because there used to be
27:15
Speaker 1: a clear boundary. College hockey defined major junior as professional
27:20
Speaker 1: though it really was not, but it was just basically
27:22
Speaker 1: protect their product. Now because the whole nil thing, the
27:25
Speaker 1: door is blown wide open and Pandora's box has open,
27:28
Speaker 1: and it's not gonna go ever ever back ever again,
27:31
Speaker 1: we may see more guidelines here and more guardrails on
27:34
Speaker 1: how this stuff works with nil, but I mean two
27:37
Speaker 1: years ago the game completely changed, and now you're seeing
27:40
Speaker 1: guys like Avin McKenna go from major junior to college hockey.
27:44
Speaker 1: It's gonna happen with Land and DuPont and play just
27:46
Speaker 1: north of US and Everett. He's going to Michigan. And
27:49
Speaker 1: we're seeing this now with Chase Reid, who's gonna go
27:51
Speaker 1: from the OHL to play for Michigan State. The thing
27:55
Speaker 1: is with Chase Reed going to play there, he is
27:58
Speaker 1: now elevating his competition and against bigger, more physically mature
28:03
Speaker 1: players like you would see maybe in the college football
28:06
Speaker 1: ranks or the college hoops ranks as well. And for
28:09
Speaker 1: the college football analogy on this, what do you have
28:13
Speaker 1: was say, maybe, and I'm just thrown out. I'm throwing
28:15
Speaker 1: this out there. An eighteen year old quarterback or a
28:19
Speaker 1: running back who has skill beyond his years but doesn't
28:24
Speaker 1: have enough experience. But you give him one year maybe
28:28
Speaker 1: to prove himself against juniors and seniors who are three
28:32
Speaker 1: to four years of age for the pros. That is
28:35
Speaker 1: way too darn good to pass up. And I will
28:39
Speaker 1: say this, don't be surprised if Chase Reed blows the
28:43
Speaker 1: doors down this year at Michigan State. We could be
28:48
Speaker 1: talking about a Calee mccarr or Maddy Benier's like situation
28:53
Speaker 1: where the Kraken say he is too good to refuse.
28:57
Speaker 1: Sign us up, now, get that contract in and perhaps
29:02
Speaker 1: let's just look at this. Maybe, uh, I'll peg this
29:06
Speaker 1: for you right now, March fifteenth, cracking home against Saint Louis.
29:11
Speaker 1: That's right around the time when Mattie Benier has made
29:14
Speaker 1: his NHL debut coming out of Michigan. Chase Reid by
29:19
Speaker 1: that time, say, if college hockey is done, wouldn't be
29:22
Speaker 1: surprised maybe to see him.
29:24
Speaker 5: Make his cracking debut.
29:26
Speaker 2: Ooh, I like it.
29:27
Speaker 1: I'm throwing that out there. You're I'm throwing that out there.
29:31
Speaker 1: Would you like to see? As as as our sports
29:35
Speaker 1: friend Dick Fiiteale said the Diaper Dandy, Chase Reid make
29:39
Speaker 1: his debut in a cracking jersey at age eighteen.
29:43
Speaker 2: I don't I don't want.
29:45
Speaker 3: I don't want him to do it before he's not ready. Sorry,
29:47
Speaker 3: I'm four nine, four or five one on air right now,
29:50
Speaker 3: but I don't want him to do it.
29:52
Speaker 2: I don't want him to get rushed.
29:53
Speaker 1: That's the one thing is that he's got to be ready.
29:55
Speaker 1: You don't want to rush exactly. I've seen way too
29:57
Speaker 1: many guys, way too many guys get rushed.
29:59
Speaker 3: I've seen it in every sport, you know, regardless of
30:02
Speaker 3: you know, we're talking hockey and every sport is different.
30:06
Speaker 3: But if he is ready, then I believe in the
30:10
Speaker 3: powers that be within the Kraken organization to recognize it.
30:14
Speaker 1: I mean, just ask Shane Wright, just me. I wouldn't
30:16
Speaker 1: even consider him rushed. But I mean, there's this one
30:19
Speaker 1: player who is no more complicated just from his background
30:22
Speaker 1: because of COVID and that made him sit out a
30:25
Speaker 1: whole year. Yeah, and he had a shame. He's basically
30:28
Speaker 1: playing for about three coaches in three years, and you
30:30
Speaker 1: know his growth has been stalled. But is he going
30:33
Speaker 1: to be here or not? That's a big question. But
30:35
Speaker 1: he's an example of why you don't want to maybe
30:37
Speaker 1: rush guys at least on a smaller scale. But you
30:40
Speaker 1: tell us, friends four nine, four or five one, do
30:42
Speaker 1: you want that bigger swing here for the kracking or
30:44
Speaker 1: do you want to see him fully lean into the
30:45
Speaker 1: youth and get everybody up here. Take the losses, take
30:49
Speaker 1: the hits. But yet see the kids develop and see
30:52
Speaker 1: the fruits of their labor payoff in tenfold, three, four, five, six,
30:57
Speaker 1: seven years down the road to the Seahawks. They have
31:01
Speaker 1: already built something big, but now the ownership brings in
31:03
Speaker 1: the questions, what do you want to see from them?
31:06
Speaker 1: The coast love family, They're taken over And can you
31:09
Speaker 1: believe it? Training camp is a week and a half away. No,
31:12
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. You're gonna be out there by
31:13
Speaker 1: the way, I think.
31:14
Speaker 3: Yes, and and Greg and I have talked about this too,
31:17
Speaker 3: that even though it is amazing that we get to
31:20
Speaker 3: do what we do, it is like going back to
31:22
Speaker 3: school shopping, you know, getting those paper bags, a couple
31:25
Speaker 3: of your textbooks and things.
31:27
Speaker 2: Yes, and so I love the summer so much.
31:31
Speaker 1: First day of school for the Seahawks and you and
31:33
Speaker 1: Greg and everybody else are at the station.
31:35
Speaker 3: Yeah.
31:36
Speaker 2: NFL players feel the same exact way.
31:38
Speaker 3: And I played a fall sport too, like volleyball is
31:40
Speaker 3: the same season as football in college, and I just
31:43
Speaker 3: remember that feeling and it is so exciting for the
31:47
Speaker 3: sports fans.
31:48
Speaker 1: That was one of the big reasons why I loved
31:50
Speaker 1: going back to school in college early because I did
31:52
Speaker 1: play by play for football back then, and it was
31:54
Speaker 1: an excuse to just get out of the campus apartment,
31:57
Speaker 1: go watch football practice and just bomb with the guys
31:59
Speaker 1: out there.
32:00
Speaker 3: Let's so your the campus is in full Yeah, so
32:03
Speaker 3: you kind of like, you know, it's a year, yes exactly,
32:07
Speaker 3: and everyone essentially speaks the same language. It's like, okay,
32:11
Speaker 3: I'm doing three days. Where are you coming from? I'm like,
32:14
Speaker 3: I'm from Cardio.
32:15
Speaker 1: I'm going to lifting training camp at a week and
32:17
Speaker 1: a half away. We'll get to more Seahawks and more
32:19
Speaker 1: COSLA ownership stuff right after this. Right here, Mike Jessman
32:22
Speaker 1: in for Greg ninety three three, kJ Arafin thanks again
32:41
Speaker 1: it ever it fits you joining us a few minutes ago.
32:44
Speaker 1: We're gonna get Bobby McMahon here for the Kraken a
32:47
Speaker 1: little past the eleven AM hour with the NHL schedule,
32:50
Speaker 1: hot fresh ready, just like a cheap five dollars pizza,
32:53
Speaker 1: but a lot tasty year as far as I'm concerned,
32:56
Speaker 1: going across the span of roughly six months. Who wants
32:59
Speaker 1: to eat pizza six month after out of the box?
33:01
Speaker 1: Forget it, I mean, never trade it.
33:02
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say.
33:03
Speaker 1: I have done eighty four games, so I can't wait
33:07
Speaker 1: October one against Calgary, cracking at Calgary October fourth, they'll
33:12
Speaker 1: be back home to open up the home gift, tear
33:16
Speaker 1: the bows apart on or open the wrapping up and
33:19
Speaker 1: there be those flames once again at five pm and
33:23
Speaker 1: climb the Pledge Arena, where then the Kraken and the
33:25
Speaker 1: rest of the NHL take flight and perhaps who knows
33:29
Speaker 1: four nine four or five one? You want to see
33:31
Speaker 1: a reloaded team or do you want to see a
33:34
Speaker 1: younger team? Give this a go and try to take
33:37
Speaker 1: flight here from the crazy and chaotic month of October
33:41
Speaker 1: four nine four five one to Comba Dodge text line.
33:43
Speaker 1: Give us the talkbacks right now. They are open for business,
33:47
Speaker 1: ready for you as well. We're also going to get
33:50
Speaker 1: to a lot of these here on the Seahawks side,
33:51
Speaker 1: because the news is still fresh here from the Cosla
33:54
Speaker 1: family taken over Jess nine point six bit.
34:00
Speaker 3: And the NFL cheers yes, because the valuation is obviously
34:06
Speaker 3: what all of the ownership group cares about more than
34:08
Speaker 3: anything else. And I Ian and I have and Greg
34:14
Speaker 3: and I have like kind of taken deep dives into
34:18
Speaker 3: what this ownership group might mean.
34:22
Speaker 2: I'm getting more.
34:23
Speaker 3: Optimistic by the minute the more I learn about this family.
34:26
Speaker 1: Whenever you hear you know, tech or investment capitalist. And
34:32
Speaker 1: I don't want to pigeonhole anybody here, but just even
34:35
Speaker 1: I think you know a different background from business versus
34:39
Speaker 1: what you've been used to, and even just throwing the
34:42
Speaker 1: whole forty nine ers thing in there is gonna make
34:44
Speaker 1: anybody nervous. It's an absolute nothing burger. Though it's an
34:47
Speaker 1: absolute nothing burger. We have seen owners across many sports
34:53
Speaker 1: come from different backgrounds. They had investments, even down the
34:56
Speaker 1: ticketing side of it, with different teams. But when you
35:00
Speaker 1: become an owner of a big league franchise, the game
35:05
Speaker 1: and the allegiances completely change. So that is not of
35:10
Speaker 1: any concern to me of like where their heart's gonna be.
35:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I agree with you wholeheartedly because the fact
35:17
Speaker 3: that they already had stakes in the game when it
35:20
Speaker 3: comes to the NFL, that they've learned a lot about
35:23
Speaker 3: it before becoming a majority owner. They were minority owners
35:28
Speaker 3: when it came I think three percent when it came
35:31
Speaker 3: to the forty nine ers.
35:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so the.
35:34
Speaker 3: Fact that they've already kind of seen how the sausage
35:37
Speaker 3: is made and want to move forward with a majority ownership.
35:41
Speaker 3: I think it's great even if it is just an investment.
35:44
Speaker 3: They are buying a super Bowl champion team. And if
35:49
Speaker 3: you learn anything from success, the way that both Paul
35:53
Speaker 3: Allen and Jody Afterwards dealt with it, it was to
35:58
Speaker 3: just okay, off, I'm going to give you what you
36:01
Speaker 3: need and go for it.
36:03
Speaker 1: Three things that check off the box for me with
36:06
Speaker 1: current and modern and successful ownership One viability. Two stability
36:14
Speaker 1: and that comes with the money thing. And number three
36:18
Speaker 1: the ability to read the room with your team, with
36:23
Speaker 1: your front office, with your fan base, how many tweaks,
36:27
Speaker 1: how many changes do you need? And this is where
36:30
Speaker 1: I think all of this comes into play once this
36:34
Speaker 1: sale gets finalized, perhaps maybe by next month, when Vino
36:38
Speaker 1: Cosla takes over, Nero Cosla takes over, and maybe the
36:43
Speaker 1: biggest player in this game for years upon years down
36:47
Speaker 1: the road.
36:47
Speaker 3: Neil Cosla, Well, that is the interesting part of it.
36:53
Speaker 3: Is the son who is young, right, I mean the
36:56
Speaker 3: both of the parents, the Cosla and Neeru is the
37:02
Speaker 3: one who is actually going to hold it. But if
37:06
Speaker 3: it does end up getting passed down to Neil, he
37:09
Speaker 3: is you.
37:10
Speaker 1: I think it will well.
37:11
Speaker 2: I mean, we're not dumb.
37:13
Speaker 3: Yes, but we don't know, but we're pretty sure that
37:16
Speaker 3: that's what it looks like. He is a young innovator himself,
37:21
Speaker 3: and it's exciting to see. As long as you don't
37:24
Speaker 3: mess with success too much, stay out of the football side,
37:27
Speaker 3: and give the higher good people if need be. We
37:31
Speaker 3: already have a pretty good staff there. But what I
37:36
Speaker 3: was saying to Greg when we found out about all
37:39
Speaker 3: this earlier this week is go in and ask how
37:43
Speaker 3: you can help.
37:45
Speaker 1: And what I think is important for me on top
37:47
Speaker 1: of that is finding out how much you can help,
37:50
Speaker 1: then learning about the nuances of what has made you successful.
37:54
Speaker 1: In other words, how much will their tech influence big
37:58
Speaker 1: question for me shape the way maybe the Seahawks approach AI.
38:01
Speaker 1: There is a data world down football. There is an
38:04
Speaker 1: analytics driven ROLD in football and really in pro sports period.
38:07
Speaker 1: There's predictive modeling which goes into this. There's green technology
38:11
Speaker 1: that is a big core value of the Pacific Northwest.
38:15
Speaker 1: There's even philanthropy also which goes into another big core
38:18
Speaker 1: value of the PNW. So again, for me, I think
38:21
Speaker 1: the biggest question is here four nine, four or five
38:23
Speaker 1: one and in training camp about a week and a
38:25
Speaker 1: half away. This is going to make things so compelling
38:28
Speaker 1: when the Seahawks finally hit the turf once again over
38:32
Speaker 1: at Virginia Mason Athletics Center. What do you want to
38:35
Speaker 1: see under the new Seahawks ownership? Do you want to
38:38
Speaker 1: see upgrades in lumen? The talks of this hole lease, expiring,
38:43
Speaker 1: new stadium elsewhere? I think a lot of you want
38:46
Speaker 1: to see this day put I don't blame you. What
38:48
Speaker 1: upgrades do you want to see around Luhmen? Do you
38:51
Speaker 1: want to see maybe a game day March before the
38:54
Speaker 1: opening kickoff a la the World Cup? How intensifying, how
38:58
Speaker 1: electrifying Seattle moments leading up to a kickoff? I can
39:03
Speaker 1: say it now at LUMAN for the World Cup games. Maybe?
39:08
Speaker 1: Do you want to see an Atlanta Falcons approach on
39:11
Speaker 1: concessions where everything is offered for pennies on the dollar.
39:15
Speaker 1: I'm talking like three dollars popcorns, three five dollars sodas.
39:20
Speaker 1: I'm generalizing here, but that's kind of the Grand Slam
39:23
Speaker 1: home run. That the Falcons sit for their folks, for
39:27
Speaker 1: their fan base, for their customers, is keeping costs low
39:32
Speaker 1: so you go back for more and more. Do you
39:34
Speaker 1: want to see maybe a football front office that is
39:37
Speaker 1: so tech savvy it looks like Globo gym from Dodgeball,
39:41
Speaker 1: And you're elevating now a team that has won two
39:43
Speaker 1: Lombardi Trophies to now chase down more and more and
39:48
Speaker 1: look to go after the Steelers, the Cowboys. We're a
39:52
Speaker 1: long way now from nineteen ninety seven, aren't we. Do
39:55
Speaker 1: you want to see more philanthropy work or do you
39:57
Speaker 1: just want to simply put see this whole ownership group,
40:01
Speaker 1: lay off the gas pedal and just sit back and
40:04
Speaker 1: write the checks.
40:05
Speaker 3: That's what the best leaders I've ever worked with have done.
40:08
Speaker 3: If if we are in a place of success, is like, Okay,
40:12
Speaker 3: let me see and then maybe I'll come in when
40:15
Speaker 3: I see something wrong.
40:16
Speaker 1: Four nine four five one Tacoma dodge text line talkbacks
40:19
Speaker 1: as well. Cannot wait here to hear what you have
40:23
Speaker 1: to say on this and again that's gonna make the
40:25
Speaker 1: opener here for training camp in about a week and
40:27
Speaker 1: a half. So so so dicey and so compelling and
40:31
Speaker 1: so juicy is the whole vibe around training camp now
40:34
Speaker 1: with the Coast list coming into play, even we're looking
40:37
Speaker 1: to even see when we're gonna have that first massive
40:40
Speaker 1: interview drop in and we're gonna hear everything from what
40:43
Speaker 1: they're all about, what they want to do, and how
40:45
Speaker 1: they're going to invest not just their money but also
40:49
Speaker 1: their time and their philosophy here into this. But again
40:51
Speaker 1: four nine four five one to coma Dodge text line. Also,
40:54
Speaker 1: we'll hear your top backs on this. What does Bobby
40:58
Speaker 1: McMahon think about where the Kraken are heading right now?
41:01
Speaker 1: What's his ultimate sales pitch to anybody else coming in
41:05
Speaker 1: on this team that continues to take shape and now
41:08
Speaker 1: finally has a schedule released about an hour ago the
41:13

Speaker 1: a lot more to get to also, plus the Open.
43:36

Speaker 1: in for Greg, with Jessman as well. Four nine one
44:06
Speaker 1: Tacoma Dodge text line top bats were open for business.
44:09
Speaker 5: By the way.
44:10
Speaker 1: On that and again we wanted to tip the cap.
44:14
Speaker 1: Glasses are off, by the way, in case you joined
44:16
Speaker 1: us earlier. That's kind of an inside joker for the
44:18
Speaker 1: ten am hour forever it fits you been. But a
44:21
Speaker 1: big thanks for him or to him here for joining
44:23
Speaker 1: us as well.
44:24
Speaker 2: Be good joke.
44:26
Speaker 1: I got the glasses here, by the way. Remember the
44:28
Speaker 1: old meme from ten years ago, Yes, deal with it. Yes,
44:32
Speaker 1: that was for a softball game this last weekend.
44:35
Speaker 2: I did not know that those classes still.
44:38
Speaker 1: Existed this I literally just found them sitting in the
44:42
Speaker 1: corner of my kids playroom last week. Literally found them
44:45
Speaker 1: in the corner.
44:46
Speaker 2: It's like way too beyond the curtains.
44:48
Speaker 1: I literally, I mean, I have no idea where where
44:51
Speaker 1: they get these things. Sometimes they have a prize day
44:54
Speaker 1: at school. I literally just found them in the toy
44:57
Speaker 1: bin of a corner of Mike play I thought, oh,
45:01
Speaker 1: I got to use these for something. These would be
45:03
Speaker 1: awesome and lo and behold, thank you Softball for the
45:05
Speaker 1: gift that keeps on giving. But we had a great time.
45:09
Speaker 1: Everett and Eye over at Cheney Stadium this last weekend
45:12
Speaker 1: here for the Seattle All Star Celebrity Softball Challenge put
45:15
Speaker 1: on by the Great Folks as well and our hosts
45:18
Speaker 1: additionally Rashid Shaheed and you Chennanuosu. Quite a few Seahawks
45:23
Speaker 1: also out there and they're going to be getting going
45:25
Speaker 1: in about a week and a half for training camp.
45:27
Speaker 1: But in the meantime, the Kraken finally had the slate
45:32
Speaker 1: all lied down. It is firmly cast October one against
45:36
Speaker 1: Calgary October fourth, at home, taking on the Calgary Flames.
45:42
Speaker 1: This will also open up seven games in nine days
45:46
Speaker 1: to give us our first glimpse of really what this
45:49
Speaker 1: team is going to be all about. We've heard the
45:52
Speaker 1: words aggressive of a return to the roster, but we
45:55
Speaker 1: have heard hints of how much the youth really matters
45:58
Speaker 1: and how much more role are open potentially for them.
46:01
Speaker 1: If you kind of read between the lines that goes
46:04
Speaker 1: for Berkeley Catton, that goes for Jacob Allanson, how much
46:08
Speaker 1: did he turn heads with his grit and grit's a
46:12
Speaker 1: big thing here for this team. But the roster turns
46:15
Speaker 1: over with more and more yes is here at least
46:18
Speaker 1: in the form of Bobby McMahon and Mackie Samuskevitch. By
46:21
Speaker 1: the way, Bobby McMahon kind enough to join us right
46:23
Speaker 1: now on the Beacon Plumbing Hotline again. Mike Benton in
46:26
Speaker 1: for Greg Belt today with Jessemin. Bobby, how are you
46:30
Speaker 1: how much are you into workout in countdown mode at
46:34
Speaker 1: this point of the offseason.
46:37
Speaker 6: Definitely into the swing of things. Excited to get going
46:41
Speaker 6: even more now seeing the schedule out and just getting
46:44
Speaker 6: that much closer the season.
46:45
Speaker 1: It certainly gives you a little bit more to work
46:47
Speaker 1: for and a little bit more extra flavor here on
46:50
Speaker 1: the steak, so to speak. With knowing who you're going
46:52
Speaker 1: to be playing October one, when you can finally get
46:55
Speaker 1: back to home ice up here on October fourth, Bobby.
46:58
Speaker 1: But let's get here to the schedule. First off, you're
47:01
Speaker 1: going to hear a loud, climbing pledge arena that will
47:04
Speaker 1: be for the home opener, as we said October fourth,
47:06
Speaker 1: And again overall, it's showed time back on October one.
47:09
Speaker 1: But what do you get the most out of seeing
47:13
Speaker 1: an NHL season go from eighty two to eighty four games?
47:17
Speaker 6: Now, that's exciting. It's more hockey to be played, better
47:24
Speaker 6: fan experience, hopefully two more games that people can catch
47:27
Speaker 6: and find the time to watch. And I think that
47:30
Speaker 6: they're able to fit to global series games in there
47:33
Speaker 6: too as well. So I think it's exciting. I think
47:35
Speaker 6: it's just more hockey, and I think everybody's happy about that.
47:38
Speaker 1: Oftentimes we've heard how much six games, maybe even for
47:42
Speaker 1: some team's eight games, it was just way too much
47:44
Speaker 1: of the preseason schedule. So now with eighty four games,
47:47
Speaker 1: you get that knockdown to three for the preseason side.
47:49
Speaker 1: I mean, how much does that matter? And you know,
47:52
Speaker 1: how much does it really kind of take for you,
47:54
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, one period one game two preseason
47:57
Speaker 1: games to really feel it, like you know, yeah, I'm ready,
48:00
Speaker 1: I've got all the russ knocked off. I'm going to
48:02
Speaker 1: go now for game one.
48:05
Speaker 6: Yeah. You come in and camp's always difficult. I think
48:08
Speaker 6: then you look at preseason games that kay, I got
48:11
Speaker 6: some time to get my feet what kind of ease
48:13
Speaker 6: into things a little bit with those six to eight
48:15
Speaker 6: preseason games. But now it's shorter, I think guys will
48:18
Speaker 6: adapt pretty well. I think once it's regular season, the
48:21
Speaker 6: adrenalines going, guys are excited. It's that first game. I
48:24
Speaker 6: think guys will be ready. There might be maybe one
48:26
Speaker 6: or two kings to work out still in those first
48:29
Speaker 6: few games. You can't expect it to be equipping at
48:32
Speaker 6: the same rate as they are at game eighty or
48:34
Speaker 6: eighty two or whatever it is. But I think guys
48:36
Speaker 6: will be ready to go, and knowing that it's going
48:39
Speaker 6: to be a shortened preseason, guys will put that more
48:41
Speaker 6: work in leading into camp.
48:43
Speaker 1: November twelfth and fourteenth. What are you looking forward to
48:46
Speaker 1: the most when it comes to going to Finland?
48:51
Speaker 6: Honestly, just the travel will be cool. I think having
48:55
Speaker 6: been around some Finns playing on different teams, and Wesly
49:00
Speaker 6: in Seattle too. I think talking to those guys who
49:02
Speaker 6: were already kind of seeing what would what it would
49:05
Speaker 6: be like, how how fun it would be to travel there,
49:07
Speaker 6: and then obviously to play in a country like that
49:11
Speaker 6: where hockey is already so big. I'm sure the crowds
49:14
Speaker 6: will be great. I'm sure they'll be excited. We'll be
49:17
Speaker 6: excited to get over there and hopefully come out with
49:20
Speaker 6: a few wins.
49:20
Speaker 1: How much have you leaned on Coppo Coco's advice at
49:23
Speaker 1: least for you know, cuisine or anything else to do
49:25
Speaker 1: out there during downtime.
49:27
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, he'll be my first first contact, first text,
49:30
Speaker 6: first call. With everything, I'm banking a lot on him.
49:33
Speaker 6: I'm sure he's got a lot.
49:34
Speaker 4: On his plate.
49:35
Speaker 6: He might even be stressed about it, trying to figure
49:37
Speaker 6: out how he's gonna treat all the boys and make
49:39
Speaker 6: sure everybody has a good time. I'm sure. I'm sure
49:41
Speaker 6: we all will regardless, but I think everybody's trying to
49:44
Speaker 6: lean on to see if he can take the reins
49:47
Speaker 6: and shoreby a good time.
49:49
Speaker 1: I think we all can't wait to hear how long
49:51
Speaker 1: the ticket request is going to be for him going
49:54
Speaker 1: out the door. Bobby McMahon joining us right now on
49:56
Speaker 1: the Beacon Plumbing hotline. Bobby, how much do you have
49:59
Speaker 1: to date circle here on the calendar? Home against the
50:02
Speaker 1: Leafs October twenty eighth, at the Leafs March third.
50:09
Speaker 6: Yeah, that those would be exciting ones. I've been in
50:12
Speaker 6: Srota long enough that know a lot of the people
50:15
Speaker 6: in that organization, a lot of guys on the team
50:18
Speaker 6: still good friends, of course, and I'll be looking forward
50:21
Speaker 6: to those games. Those will be exciting ones.
50:24
Speaker 1: There's a lot of road games also here to begin
50:26
Speaker 1: this part of the schedule, you know, And the folks
50:28
Speaker 1: can say that the first month can be you know,
50:30
Speaker 1: silly season territory. There's a lot of mistakes, you know,
50:34
Speaker 1: and with mistakes come breakdowns, and when breakdowns come offense.
50:37
Speaker 1: So I mean to say that you got seven games
50:40
Speaker 1: here in the first nine, you know, nine overall. You know,
50:43
Speaker 1: it's a pretty tough sledding here as far as the
50:45
Speaker 1: road part of this, But anything can happen, that's what
50:47
Speaker 1: they usually say. So how important is that first stretch
50:50
Speaker 1: in October to you to bank the points? Yeah?
50:54
Speaker 6: I think you always want to start banking them as
50:56
Speaker 6: quick as possible. You look down at the playoff race
51:00
Speaker 6: the end of the season and you're within a point
51:02
Speaker 6: or two points, or you're tied with teams, and you're thinking, back, all,
51:06
Speaker 6: we let that one slip early on in the season.
51:08
Speaker 6: Maybe we should have tried to close that one out
51:10
Speaker 6: a little bit or been more focused on it, I guess.
51:13
Speaker 6: So you always want to stay focused and be making
51:16
Speaker 6: those pushes right at the start of the season. And
51:18
Speaker 6: I think a road trip like that too, with all
51:20
Speaker 6: those games, really gets the team into the swing of things. Obviously,
51:23
Speaker 6: there's new faces, there's new dynamics, there's gonna be new
51:26
Speaker 6: combinations up and down the lineup. So I think that
51:30
Speaker 6: in conjunction with time spent on the road with guys,
51:33
Speaker 6: getting to know guys even more, getting close with guys,
51:35
Speaker 6: going to dinner with guys, all those things are are
51:38
Speaker 6: big for a successful season and to feel like you're
51:42
Speaker 6: fully a team. So I think that road trip's gonna
51:44
Speaker 6: be great for us.
51:45
Speaker 1: You'll get quite a bit of playing time here at
51:46
Speaker 1: Calgary and Edmonton to begin the season, then after the
51:49
Speaker 1: quick two game homestand Detroit, Washington, Philadelphia, Tampa Bay and Florida,
51:55
Speaker 1: so you get plenty of playing time or playing time here.
51:58
Speaker 1: The funniest guys you found out on the plane so
52:00
Speaker 1: far for the first few weeks in this team, who
52:02
Speaker 1: are they?
52:05
Speaker 3: Uh?
52:06
Speaker 6: Depends, I guess where what part of the plane you're on,
52:09
Speaker 6: If you're around the if you're around the table.
52:12
Speaker 3: Uh.
52:13
Speaker 6: Maddy Benier's is usually yelling at somebody for making a
52:16
Speaker 6: wrong play on the on the card table or whatever.
52:18
Speaker 1: He gets competitive to a car, doesn't he.
52:22
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, this is on on the other end, on
52:24
Speaker 6: the other table, and he's usually getting mad at somebody
52:28
Speaker 6: for beating him. And just I guess it depends. But
52:31
Speaker 6: everybody's everybody's been a character. Everybody's been great.
52:34
Speaker 4: Uh.
52:34
Speaker 6: Couple Coco is usually cracking jokes.
52:36
Speaker 4: Yeh.
52:37
Speaker 6: Behind me, him and Monty are going back and forth
52:40
Speaker 6: chirping each other, and they always got good materials. So
52:43
Speaker 6: just depends where you want to land yourself on that plane.
52:45
Speaker 6: It might be hearing different.
52:46
Speaker 1: Stuff that's on brand Coppo Coco and Brandon montor always
52:49
Speaker 1: to put a laugh on your laughing you and a
52:51
Speaker 1: smile on your face again. Bobby McMahon joining us right
52:54
Speaker 1: now on the Beacon Plumbing Hotline. Bobby, as you get ready,
52:58
Speaker 1: here for this kind of we call the second half
53:01
Speaker 1: of this part of the offseason, and thankfully we're into
53:04
Speaker 1: it now and it kind of feels like the light
53:06
Speaker 1: of the end of the tunnel is getting brighter for
53:08
Speaker 1: us at the beginning of the season. Now that you've
53:11
Speaker 1: re upped, what do you want people to understand about
53:15
Speaker 1: your game this next season.
53:21
Speaker 6: I think my main focus for me is always using
53:24
Speaker 6: my speed. I think I'm a fast player. I can
53:26
Speaker 6: utilize that speed to drive plays, but also push defenders
53:30
Speaker 6: back and also close on d so that's from closing.
53:34
Speaker 6: I want to be physical. I can get to get
53:36
Speaker 6: the guys quick, try and finish my checks, be hard
53:39
Speaker 6: on the fore check, use my speed to try and
53:41
Speaker 6: generate offense, open things up for other guys. I think
53:44
Speaker 6: those are all things that I take pride in. And
53:48
Speaker 6: I'm also not afraid to shoot the puck. I I
53:50
Speaker 6: like the puck on my stick and I like shooting it.
53:51
Speaker 6: And there's been in the time that I've been there
53:54
Speaker 6: a ton of great passers and a ton of great
53:56
Speaker 6: passes I've gotten from those guys. So I'm just looking
53:58
Speaker 6: to get it off because I can, and hope it
54:01
Speaker 6: goes in Bobby.
54:03
Speaker 3: Everything you just said I think made Krakens fans out
54:06
Speaker 3: there just really get excited for this upcoming season. Jessaman
54:10
Speaker 3: McIntyre here with you, and the one question I had
54:13
Speaker 3: for you for those let's just go thirty thousand feet
54:15
Speaker 3: above the sport. There are a lot of people here
54:18
Speaker 3: who are football, baseball, and even though the Kraken have
54:22
Speaker 3: been around for several years, it's not a hockey born town.
54:26
Speaker 2: What do you think that?
54:27
Speaker 3: And I know that from the front office standpoint, they've
54:30
Speaker 3: done an amazing job of welcoming in the hockey fan.
54:35
Speaker 3: What have you noticed about what they've done and what
54:39
Speaker 3: you can do to welcome in more.
54:43
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think management and the organization has done a
54:47
Speaker 6: good job of spreading the word and spreading the understanding
54:51
Speaker 6: of hockey and the excitement of it. And I think
54:56
Speaker 6: they've done a good job of getting out in the
54:57
Speaker 6: community being involved. And I think that's just something that
55:01
Speaker 6: we can continue to grow and continue to do more of,
55:05
Speaker 6: is being involved in the community. And I think when
55:07
Speaker 6: you start to show up and you get people out
55:09
Speaker 6: of the games and people are there, you experience the
55:12
Speaker 6: energy of the building and how fun those games can be,
55:14
Speaker 6: and I felt it when I first got traded there,
55:17
Speaker 6: that you could feel how energized everybody there at the
55:21
Speaker 6: game was and how excited they were to be there,
55:24
Speaker 6: and how much fun they were having, and a lot
55:26
Speaker 6: of close games, the crowds right into it. They're giving
55:30
Speaker 6: us energy, providing a push late in games, and I
55:33
Speaker 6: think continuing to get people out of the games, continuing
55:37
Speaker 6: to have that experience, and then being involved in the
55:39
Speaker 6: community will just keep growing the sport in that city
55:43
Speaker 6: and continue to grow the crack and organization.
55:45
Speaker 3: And is that one of the reasons you wanted to
55:48
Speaker 3: stay here, feeling that energy?
55:51
Speaker 6: Yeah, it definitely was not really knowing playing a few
55:55
Speaker 6: road games every year or a road game a year
55:57
Speaker 6: in Seattle and you don't really get a feel for
56:00
Speaker 6: the city or a feel for the energy. But as
56:01
Speaker 6: soon as I got traded here, it was one or
56:03
Speaker 6: two games and I could feel how much the fans cared,
56:06
Speaker 6: how how important it was to be winning and to
56:11
Speaker 6: put a great effort forward every night and to try
56:14
Speaker 6: try to give them the best opportunity at a playoff experience,
56:18
Speaker 6: and that was our goal and we'd fall short, but
56:20
Speaker 6: I think you could tell that that desire was there,
56:23
Speaker 6: and the passion is there in the city, and you
56:26
Speaker 6: can feel that all the way around. You see the
56:29
Speaker 6: crack and logos all over the place, and storefronts are
56:32
Speaker 6: up and down Downtown or Bellevue or whatever it is
56:35
Speaker 6: all around. I saw enough of that you could feel
56:37
Speaker 6: that support. And then you see, like you look at
56:40
Speaker 6: the city and you see how how nice the city
56:42
Speaker 6: is and the landscape of it and all the nice
56:45
Speaker 6: places you can live and go to and restaurants and
56:48
Speaker 6: all those things I think are important. And feeling like
56:51
Speaker 6: a community and feeling like almost a smaller city that
56:54
Speaker 6: it is than it is, and feeling like it's a
56:56
Speaker 6: very tight city that rallies around hockey and it's sports.
56:59
Speaker 4: For sure.
57:00
Speaker 2: I will home.
57:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll certainly add to that. I remember what the
57:04
Speaker 1: playoffs felt like, looked like, sounded like here back in
57:06
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. And when you play in a city
57:08
Speaker 1: where on the baseball side, the first inning sounds like
57:12
Speaker 1: third down at Luman and you can literally cause earthquakes
57:15
Speaker 1: here for World Cup games and NFL playoff games as well,
57:18
Speaker 1: you play in a different kind of town and for
57:20
Speaker 1: the better. But Bobby here, as far as the NHL
57:23
Speaker 1: it's been a crazy role this offseason. We've got kind
57:26
Speaker 1: of the dol drums of the UFA market. We're going
57:28
Speaker 1: to put this offseason here to sleep, and then all
57:30
Speaker 1: of a sudden, boom, we got offer sheets galore, guys
57:33
Speaker 1: you know, pinning for like nineteen million. You know, trade
57:36
Speaker 1: talks all over this league. Well, we don't know if
57:38
Speaker 1: this team has done here, but you know, you've talked
57:41
Speaker 1: a lot about what you have in the fan base
57:43
Speaker 1: where you live, work and play. But on this team, Bobby,
57:46
Speaker 1: you'd chose Seattle for a reason. To you, what's the
57:49
Speaker 1: reality of that reason?
57:53
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I think you look at the reason
57:57
Speaker 6: everybody wants to play is one love the game, but
58:00
Speaker 6: too you also want to win. And you look at
58:03
Speaker 6: how Carolina did this year and the process that they
58:06
Speaker 6: had to go through over the years, and being in
58:09
Speaker 6: a spot where it looked like Carolina was just maybe
58:12
Speaker 6: a mediocre team for a while. They're like, they had
58:14
Speaker 6: spurts of being doing really well and having success, but
58:18
Speaker 6: then they couldn't quite figure it out. But there was
58:20
Speaker 6: a bunch of guys that stuck it out there and
58:23
Speaker 6: kind of built it from the ground up, and they
58:25
Speaker 6: were able to eventually reach the ultimate goal of winning
58:29
Speaker 6: the Cup. So you can kind of see the remnants
58:31
Speaker 6: of that in Seattle with the amount of prospects that
58:34
Speaker 6: they have, the desire from management and ownership to provide
58:38
Speaker 6: winning hockey for the city and to make it a
58:40
Speaker 6: winning organization.
58:42
Speaker 1: So I think those.
58:44
Speaker 6: Things are important to me, and I could see I
58:46
Speaker 6: can see the vision and I am hopeful to realize
58:49
Speaker 6: the vision of building something that's a new organization, building it,
58:54
Speaker 6: building a new legacy, and being a part of it
58:56
Speaker 6: from the ground up kind of thing where we can
58:58
Speaker 6: continually grow year to year to try and push to
59:03
Speaker 6: hit that ultimate goal and to be a successful team
59:05
Speaker 6: and to be a continuing team year after years is
59:08
Speaker 6: where I see this team could potentially get to with
59:12
Speaker 6: the amount of resources that they're willing to throw out
59:14
Speaker 6: the players, the level of treatment that they want to
59:17
Speaker 6: take with the players, and then the types of players
59:20
Speaker 6: that are here, and the whole organization itself has the
59:24
Speaker 6: ability to do it if guys are willing to see
59:27
Speaker 6: that opportunity and everybody in the organization is willing to
59:31
Speaker 6: do everything they can to push it, because it takes
59:33
Speaker 6: everyone there, and it takes the whole fan base, and
59:35
Speaker 6: it takes the whole city to be a part of
59:38
Speaker 6: that journey.
59:38
Speaker 1: How much did nearly getting to thirty goals last season
59:41
Speaker 1: shape the kind of summer that you want to have
59:44
Speaker 1: in the gym?
59:46
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it was definitely personally a successful season.
59:51
Speaker 6: By no means is that want to make me feel
59:54
Speaker 6: complacent or feel like that's the ceiling. I'm always somebody
59:58
Speaker 6: that wants to strive to get better. I want to
1:00:00
Speaker 6: look at parts of my game that can get better,
1:00:03
Speaker 6: that need improvement, that can be improved without losing sight
1:00:06
Speaker 6: of my strength. So understanding that I had some success
1:00:10
Speaker 6: and that's something that I want to feed me to
1:00:12
Speaker 6: give me momentum to ride and feel that confidence, but
1:00:16
Speaker 6: also continually work at other aspects of my game and
1:00:19
Speaker 6: continue to work at the east west side of my
1:00:21
Speaker 6: game without losing the up and down speed that I have,
1:00:25
Speaker 6: without losing the physicality, and just continually trying to fine
1:00:28
Speaker 6: tune and work on the game to be the best
1:00:31
Speaker 6: that I can to hopefully win as many games as possible.
1:00:34
Speaker 6: Next year.
1:00:35
Speaker 1: We're looking forward to having you back on ice around
1:00:37
Speaker 1: here very very soon. I mean, we had the World
1:00:39
Speaker 1: Cup going on we've had baseball picking back up. The
1:00:41
Speaker 1: Seahawks are back soon. But all this is say that
1:00:45
Speaker 1: hockey's right around the corner. We can't wait. So for
1:00:47
Speaker 1: the rest of your summer, Bobby, what's that looking like?
1:00:52
Speaker 6: Just a lot of working out, getting on the ice
1:00:54
Speaker 6: a lot more, start to push for maybe three, four
1:00:58
Speaker 6: or five times a week, trying to get on the
1:01:00
Speaker 6: ice more, and then making my way down to Seattle
1:01:03
Speaker 6: and get settled to get ready for a preseason and
1:01:05
Speaker 6: then the season.
1:01:07
Speaker 1: Bigger, faster, stronger, and a lot of folks can't wait
1:01:10
Speaker 1: to see what's next year for you and for this team. Bobby,
1:01:12
Speaker 1: appreciate you, thank you, thanks so much for having me.
1:01:16
Speaker 1: That's Bobby mc McMahon joining us here. Bigger, pardon the
1:01:19
Speaker 1: beacon plumbing hotline, Bigger, faster, stronger, and completely two feet
1:01:25
Speaker 1: in for this town, this city, for this vision and
1:01:29
Speaker 1: where this hockey team wants to go. And that is
1:01:31
Speaker 1: what I think a lot of folks want to hear.
1:01:33
Speaker 2: Jess uh dun. Obviously that's exactly what they want to hear.
1:01:39
Speaker 1: It's six years, it's six million, I should say to
1:01:42
Speaker 1: say I'm in. It's the fact that he was involved
1:01:46
Speaker 1: here with other players to get on board. It's a
1:01:49
Speaker 1: fact that he wants to be a part of the
1:01:51
Speaker 1: keyre as we say, not a part of what happened,
1:01:54
Speaker 1: the disease, anything else that's attached here to that. But
1:01:59
Speaker 1: it's six year deal, five point seven million to say
1:02:02
Speaker 1: I'm all in. He could have went anywhere he wanted,
1:02:05
Speaker 1: yeld all the cards. That's what I was saying.
1:02:07
Speaker 3: That's why I wanted to ask him that, you know,
1:02:10
Speaker 3: it was part of what you saw from the fans,
1:02:12
Speaker 3: a reason that you wanted to say.
1:02:15
Speaker 1: And this is why the whole talk and I'm not
1:02:17
Speaker 1: going to get too deep into this because we're up
1:02:19
Speaker 1: against it right now, but this is why the whole
1:02:21
Speaker 1: talk of the whole Jason Robertson saga bothered me. Was
1:02:25
Speaker 1: it was an isolated one off. Yes, I know it
1:02:28
Speaker 1: for those following this there there was also our Timmy
1:02:30
Speaker 1: Paneren But when you have Jason Robertson, that news go
1:02:34
Speaker 1: public and then everyone around the world and the online
1:02:39
Speaker 1: space begins to run with let's just go ahead and
1:02:41
Speaker 1: pick a part of what's wrong with this city that city,
1:02:45
Speaker 1: Oh Seeattle, you're up next. Let's all talk about what's
1:02:47
Speaker 1: wrong with you. The matter of fact is players aren't
1:02:50
Speaker 1: saying no because they don't want to come here. Players
1:02:54
Speaker 1: are saying no because they have more control than they
1:02:57
Speaker 1: have ever had before in this game. And we're seeing
1:02:59
Speaker 1: it from young to old where they have three teams
1:03:03
Speaker 1: in mind and they want to go to those teams
1:03:06
Speaker 1: if they want to change the scenery. And the one
1:03:08
Speaker 1: thing they have in common is they're all in a
1:03:12
Speaker 1: winning championship window.
1:03:14
Speaker 5: Now.
1:03:14
Speaker 1: The Kraken are not there just yet, but you have
1:03:17
Speaker 1: one guy and McMahon another we heard earlier in Brandon
1:03:21
Speaker 1: Montour who have said we're not there yet, but I
1:03:24
Speaker 1: want to be a part of it when we get there.
1:03:27
Speaker 1: They are builders. That's what's so important to finally building
1:03:31
Speaker 1: brick by brick for a championship franchise. Four nine four
1:03:35
Speaker 1: five one Tokoma doj TeX's line top backs were getting
1:03:38
Speaker 1: all that opening up in just a bit after this,
1:03:40
Speaker 1: Mike Betton and for Greg Bell what Jessamin on ninety
1:03:42
Speaker 1: three to three k Jerfin, I'd really like to see
1:04:02
Speaker 1: them invest in Lumenfield by doing nothing except two things,
1:04:09
Speaker 1: lower the cost of the concession stands and tickets and
1:04:14
Speaker 1: put in natural grass. That would be awesome. You're spending
1:04:21
Speaker 1: about probably five bucks on beer, three bucks on popcorn
1:04:24
Speaker 1: for a Seahawks game, maybe a ten dollars pizza. How
1:04:27
Speaker 1: much are you running back for more during the game?
1:04:30
Speaker 3: How much are you running back for more?
1:04:33
Speaker 1: Yes? At least me, because I'm probably bringing two kids
1:04:36
Speaker 1: here to the game, So what like one trip is
1:04:38
Speaker 1: not going to be enough. I may have to go
1:04:40
Speaker 1: back for a second time, maybe even a third time.
1:04:43
Speaker 3: I would say at a hockey game, Yeah, I would
1:04:47
Speaker 3: do it during every intermission during the Mariners, I go
1:04:52
Speaker 3: third inning, seventh and during a Seahawks game, in between each.
1:04:58
Speaker 1: Quarter Mike in for Greg Bell with Jessaman four nine,
1:05:02
Speaker 1: four five one to coma dodge text line I've done. Maybe,
1:05:05
Speaker 1: I would say on average two to three trips for
1:05:09
Speaker 1: Mariners when I bring kids.
1:05:11
Speaker 2: Two to three. That sounds right, two to three for
1:05:14
Speaker 2: any game.
1:05:14
Speaker 1: Because at least for me, like I'm going to get something.
1:05:18
Speaker 1: We're stopping along the way to get my kids something.
1:05:21
Speaker 1: Three four innings later, it's like that I'm hungry again. Okay,
1:05:26
Speaker 1: we'll go back here, find some ice cream and then well.
1:05:29
Speaker 2: And it's like literal kids in a candy shop.
1:05:32
Speaker 1: Here's also an idea. I mean, I'm I'm not sure
1:05:34
Speaker 1: that again and again that this is part of me
1:05:36
Speaker 1: where I'm tied up with hockey. I'm not sure the
1:05:38
Speaker 1: Seahawks do the refillable cup thing like the Mariners do
1:05:41
Speaker 1: not not every MLB team does this, But what if
1:05:45
Speaker 1: you actually design refillable the the refillable SODA's like the
1:05:50
Speaker 1: Mariners the best things they've ever done.
1:05:53
Speaker 3: It is so great because I go, you know a
1:05:56
Speaker 3: lot of the time I'm bringing people and I'm driving
1:05:59
Speaker 3: them and I'm not having adult beverages, and I get
1:06:02
Speaker 3: that refillable thing, and you know you have that uh
1:06:06
Speaker 3: just need to almost like not to sound weird, but
1:06:09
Speaker 3: put something in your mouth, you like, you want to
1:06:11
Speaker 3: sip on something. And when I can get myself a
1:06:14
Speaker 3: diet coke and then in that third.
1:06:17
Speaker 2: Inning get another diet coke. It's amazing.
1:06:19
Speaker 1: What's great? What's the coast of family doing? If you
1:06:22
Speaker 1: want to see him make tweaks four nine four five one,
1:06:25
Speaker 1: we heard concessions, we heard natural grass. I asked, do
1:06:28
Speaker 1: you want upgrades here at to lumen or do you
1:06:30
Speaker 1: just want them to sit back and just write the
1:06:31
Speaker 1: checks and just shut up, do nothing?
1:06:34
Speaker 2: Do nothing four n don't mess with success.
1:06:37
Speaker 3: I think the thing that Greg and I were talking
1:06:39
Speaker 3: about too, the thing is being worried that new ownership
1:06:43
Speaker 3: would step on the football operations.
1:06:47
Speaker 1: Four two five. Panther's owner was first a minority owner
1:06:52
Speaker 1: with the Steelers, and when he took over the Panthers,
1:06:54
Speaker 1: he immediately began medaling in football operations. New Seahawks owner
1:06:59
Speaker 1: is a better not repeat that pattern for the four
1:07:04
Speaker 1: two five.
1:07:06
Speaker 3: Well, we saw what has not happened with the Panthers
1:07:10
Speaker 3: and it has not been success.
1:07:11
Speaker 1: No, no, and there there are some other issues too
1:07:14
Speaker 1: with with ownership.
1:07:14
Speaker 2: Well, yes, we don't even need to get into that stuff.
1:07:17
Speaker 1: They did that that you read on TMZ or dead
1:07:20
Speaker 1: Spin Back of the day, right two five three sing.
1:07:23
Speaker 1: I want to see a cracking team that will stand
1:07:25
Speaker 1: up to its opponents. I am tired of watching this
1:07:27
Speaker 1: team get pushed around by teams in the West. This
1:07:31
Speaker 1: fine if you are rebuilding, but we are not rebuilding,
1:07:34
Speaker 1: or at least according to management. I want a physical
1:07:37
Speaker 1: I want a tough team that stands up for each other.
1:07:41
Speaker 1: If they do that, the wins will come. That from
1:07:43
Speaker 1: the two five to three this is where I begin
1:07:47
Speaker 1: to believe the more that you see Jacob Alanson in
1:07:50
Speaker 1: this lineup, it's going to make a difference. Go back,
1:07:53
Speaker 1: and in case you missed this signing, and it was
1:07:54
Speaker 1: maybe under the radar for July one, but six foot
1:07:58
Speaker 1: nine tough guy Kurt Douglas, who also dropped the mits
1:08:03
Speaker 1: in his very first NHL shift, not his first game,
1:08:08
Speaker 1: but his first shift. Go look up Curtis Douglas versus
1:08:14
Speaker 1: Curtis McDermott. And if you want some extra muscle outside
1:08:18
Speaker 1: the doors of the club, you got one right there
1:08:21
Speaker 1: in Curtis Douglas. Someone wants to take a little cheap
1:08:24
Speaker 1: shot on Berthley, Caton Matty Beneers, Jared mccannon who's taken
1:08:28
Speaker 1: a few of them in the last few years. That's
1:08:32
Speaker 1: a guy you need based on the opponent, who is
1:08:35
Speaker 1: going to calm the waters down.
1:08:37
Speaker 3: But that's what I and I had talked about this for,
1:08:40
Speaker 3: you know, a long time, is that I don't know
1:08:44
Speaker 3: if this is a proper to term to use, but goon.
1:08:48
Speaker 1: You can use goon, I mean, you use goon. You
1:08:49
Speaker 1: can use in four sert tough guy whatever.
1:08:51
Speaker 3: And apparently you can say shy shy, which scares the
1:08:56
Speaker 3: shinny out of me. Anyone says that on the because
1:09:00
Speaker 3: I reached for the dumb button and then realize that
1:09:02
Speaker 3: it's actually appropriate. But if you have someone like that,
1:09:07
Speaker 3: it's almost like, I don't know how much WNBA you watch,
1:09:10
Speaker 3: but Sophie Cunningham, Yeah, it's kind of that person.
1:09:14
Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, she uses her.
1:09:16
Speaker 3: Silence and one finger to destroy people, but she's also
1:09:20
Speaker 3: used to her muscles, and I feel like they send
1:09:22
Speaker 3: her in.
1:09:23
Speaker 2: For that, and I love it.
1:09:25
Speaker 1: Two three from Keith our friend from the two five three,
1:09:28
Speaker 1: I want to see the Kraken go the Houston Astros route,
1:09:31
Speaker 1: not the buzzers, not the cameras, lose a few years
1:09:35
Speaker 1: to build the youth, then have a nice five to
1:09:38
Speaker 1: ten year run about the cheating. Of course. That from
1:09:41
Speaker 1: Keith in the two five.
1:09:42
Speaker 3: No Trash Cans. Keith do uh, I do actually get
1:09:47
Speaker 3: that sentiment, But I don't know if the fan hood
1:09:51
Speaker 3: would withstand that much of a weight.
1:09:55
Speaker 1: Two oh six lots of crack and hyper a team
1:09:56
Speaker 1: and didn't get better. Bobby McMahon is a third liner
1:09:59
Speaker 1: anywhere else, five hundred record maybe at best. Okay, I mean,
1:10:02
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can put a twenty nine
1:10:04
Speaker 1: goal guy maybe on a third line, unless you're the
1:10:06
Speaker 1: eighty four Edmonton Oilers. He's gonna play higher in the lineup.
1:10:11
Speaker 1: He's gonna play higher in the lineup. I would look
1:10:13
Speaker 1: at him to play with maybe Matty Benier's there's some
1:10:16
Speaker 1: speed there. There's something going with those two. Who fits
1:10:20
Speaker 1: on that third on that line on the right wing.
1:10:22
Speaker 1: Matter of question, whether they want to trade for a
1:10:24
Speaker 1: guy who can score about another thirty roughly matkiw Samuskevitch
1:10:29
Speaker 1: can he pop? But that that that that's that's where
1:10:33
Speaker 1: he is. He's a decent second top six guy, as
1:10:36
Speaker 1: we say, first or second line, and a pretty decent team.
1:10:39
Speaker 1: Maddy ben here is also a good second line center
1:10:42
Speaker 1: on a Stanley Cup contending team. That's where they want
1:10:44
Speaker 1: to get to two oh six. Finally, say go the
1:10:47
Speaker 1: kids route because the alternative will just cost way too
1:10:50
Speaker 1: much of that from the two oh six. Believe Chris
1:10:53
Speaker 1: Crawford's lorcin right around the corner.
1:10:55
Speaker 2: We I just gave him a bear hug outside, so yes,
1:10:59
Speaker 2: he is indeed lurking.
1:11:00
Speaker 1: He's our bear Ian forness. By the way, isn't his
1:11:02
Speaker 1: bear like slumbers somewhere, I believe in nearby Maple Valley.
1:11:04
Speaker 1: So Chris Crawford's in for him, Chris Craftor's next. It's
1:11:28
Speaker 1: very important by the way that we lean into the
1:11:30
Speaker 1: YouTubers here Mike in for Greg Bell along with Jessmon.
1:11:34
Speaker 1: I'm going to give credit. One of the first guys
1:11:35
Speaker 1: who actually did this so well was a guy that
1:11:38
Speaker 1: we here usually on Mondays for Mollywop Monday and will
1:11:42
Speaker 1: be in now for Ian Furness, the one, the only,
1:11:45
Speaker 1: the great Christopher Crawford, who I thought did so well
1:11:49
Speaker 1: and I kind of giggled when he broke the fourth
1:11:51
Speaker 1: wall continuously, so I try to take it up a
1:11:55
Speaker 1: notch by saying you don't like the YouTube with itul Jess.
1:12:01
Speaker 1: I think I already had that out on the X machine,
1:12:04
Speaker 1: didn't she I.
1:12:05
Speaker 3: Put it on Twitter X machine, the Twitter I call
1:12:08
Speaker 3: it Twitter, but I still.
1:12:09
Speaker 1: Call it Twitter. I don't care. Yeah, I don't care.
1:12:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, canceled me. I don't care. But we did not care.
1:12:17
Speaker 1: Everett, you're hearing us. That was our team name for
1:12:19
Speaker 1: the Softball Classic last weekend. We did not care.
1:12:21
Speaker 5: Did you have so much fun doing Oh my gosh?
1:12:23
Speaker 1: I mentioned that you know what, it's all for a
1:12:25
Speaker 1: great cause. Uh but you know me, like I'm the
1:12:28
Speaker 1: least athletic guy, maybe in this radio station, in this building,
1:12:32
Speaker 1: maybe in my family, maybe on the planet. So when
1:12:35
Speaker 1: you get through the fact that by age twelve or
1:12:39
Speaker 1: age eleven, your career or your single season high in
1:12:43
Speaker 1: Little League for hits is three, it's time to go
1:12:45
Speaker 1: look at other areas of recreation.
1:12:48
Speaker 5: Sure.
1:12:48
Speaker 1: Sure, And my dad said, I'll pay for you if
1:12:50
Speaker 1: you want to get better for baseball or golf, But
1:12:52
Speaker 1: I'm not paying for both. At age thirteen, golf it
1:12:55
Speaker 1: was you know.
1:12:56
Speaker 5: Golf takes some athleticism, and I've heard you can swing
1:12:58
Speaker 5: the sticks pretty good.
1:12:59
Speaker 1: So I try, I try.
1:13:01
Speaker 4: It was a lot.
1:13:01
Speaker 1: It was a lot more more fruitful for me. I
1:13:03
Speaker 1: let her in, you know, high school shoutout Glendora High,
1:13:06
Speaker 1: by the way. But you know, the baseball thing was,
1:13:12
Speaker 1: as a kids say, at best miss so. But this this, this, this,
1:13:17
Speaker 1: this this whole event like last last weekend over at
1:13:21
Speaker 1: Cheney Stadium, like it was phenomenal, Like they made you
1:13:24
Speaker 1: feel like a professional baseball player. Jersey that I'm wearing
1:13:28
Speaker 1: was hanging up in the stall. You know, I got
1:13:30
Speaker 1: to be teammates with you know, Miles Gaskin, Denzel Boston,
1:13:34
Speaker 1: no particular order, Rashid Shaheed, who couldn't have been even cooler,
1:13:39
Speaker 1: even cooler. So so many folks made this thing very,
1:13:42
Speaker 1: very fun. How are you, man, though, Doing good?
1:13:44
Speaker 5: Doing good.
1:13:44
Speaker 7: I'm enjoying this week off of Seattle Mariner baseball. I
1:13:49
Speaker 7: wish I was wearing you. I wish I wasn't enjoying
1:13:52
Speaker 7: it as much as I am, But you know, it's
1:13:54
Speaker 7: nice to have a little bit of a little bit
1:13:58
Speaker 7: of a break from bad baseball.
1:14:01
Speaker 1: Did you get the group chat, by the way, I
1:14:04
Speaker 1: don't think I did. Oh just wait until you see
1:14:07
Speaker 1: Cherry Depolo.
1:14:08
Speaker 7: I just saw it right when I was pulling up
1:14:10
Speaker 7: from my drive, and I only saw the highlighted thing.
1:14:13
Speaker 5: And I think Anders and I will probably.
1:14:15
Speaker 1: Have how much we're going to dive into the bats
1:14:17
Speaker 1: or lack thro of that that they may be chasing. Yeah,
1:14:20
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk a lot about that. We're gonna go
1:14:22
Speaker 1: over So I'm gonna be in the next two days
1:14:24
Speaker 1: because Ian just is incredibly lazy, and it's just hard
1:14:27
Speaker 1: to imagine he's a bear like slumber in Maple Valley
1:14:30
Speaker 1: somewhere the Gold tournament wiped him out.
1:14:34
Speaker 7: Oh no, I had to play eighteen holes. Now, I
1:14:36
Speaker 7: got to take like one hundred and forty four hours off.
1:14:38
Speaker 7: And I'm a Canadian and Cougar Gold is not as
1:14:41
Speaker 7: good as they think it is.
1:14:43
Speaker 5: Sorry, Jess, it is amazing.
1:14:45
Speaker 1: I love Cougar Gold.
1:14:46
Speaker 7: It's alright, it's alright, it's all right, greating mac and cheese.
1:14:50
Speaker 5: But ye oh my gosh, yes, that's fair.
1:14:52
Speaker 3: That is in it.
1:14:54
Speaker 2: Call it a day.
1:14:55
Speaker 7: Okay, then you just like lobster is what you like,
1:14:57
Speaker 7: and then you have some mac and cheese on the side.
1:15:00
Speaker 7: Here's one thing, don't beat and cheese. I'm the only
1:15:03
Speaker 7: guy in this town that may have a seafood allergy.
1:15:05
Speaker 5: Oh okay, that is a brutal thing to happen in.
1:15:08
Speaker 1: This If if I go to anywhere around here that
1:15:11
Speaker 1: that that is serving something that swims on a platter, stay.
1:15:15
Speaker 2: Please shelfill fish.
1:15:18
Speaker 1: I say, if it's swims, I can't eat it.
1:15:19
Speaker 2: Geez counts.
1:15:25
Speaker 1: It counts counts.
1:15:27
Speaker 5: The crustaceans count. So I'm gonna be in the next
1:15:29
Speaker 5: two days.
1:15:30
Speaker 7: Today we're gonna kind of look at some American League
1:15:33
Speaker 7: trade candidates that makes sense for both the bullpen and
1:15:36
Speaker 7: for the bats, and then tomorrow will.
1:15:39
Speaker 5: Yeah, that'll work, familar, That would be nice.
1:15:43
Speaker 4: Man.
1:15:43
Speaker 7: There's uh, there's some guys. I mean, there are some
1:15:46
Speaker 7: guys who could make this team better. Apparently Jerry Depoto
1:15:48
Speaker 7: disagrees with that based on that statement today, but uh,
1:15:52
Speaker 7: you know there's also because you know, I've talked to
1:15:55
Speaker 7: Justin Hollander about this, they can't just say we guarantee
1:15:58
Speaker 7: we're going to make a trade. We get garantee that
1:16:00
Speaker 7: we are going to make this team better. This team
1:16:03
Speaker 7: isn't good enough, blah blah blah. That's just not a
1:16:05
Speaker 7: realistic thing to say. But there's a thin line between
1:16:08
Speaker 7: that and saying our players are better than anything you
1:16:11
Speaker 7: can get on the trade market.
1:16:13
Speaker 5: So tough, you know what.
1:16:15
Speaker 7: Like that, there's a thin line between those two things.
1:16:18
Speaker 7: So we'll go over some guys even if Jerry disagrees
1:16:21
Speaker 7: that they could be available or not.
1:16:22
Speaker 1: So I mentioned the meme from like about ten years
1:16:24
Speaker 1: ago where you know the deal with the sunglasses I
1:16:26
Speaker 1: popped them on here. I want to now create something
1:16:28
Speaker 1: for tomorrow where like if we hear just something that
1:16:30
Speaker 1: is just so crazy and so outlanders like we are
1:16:34
Speaker 1: fine with the players we have we all of a
1:16:36
Speaker 1: sudden freeze, frightened YouTube and like a bunch of question
1:16:38
Speaker 1: marks all.
1:16:39
Speaker 5: All I pop up like over my head, one thousand percent.
1:16:42
Speaker 1: Over my head.
1:16:43
Speaker 5: What do you do?
1:16:43
Speaker 1: By the way, if you get Mason Miller like him
1:16:46
Speaker 1: and Andre's Munnos, oh my gosh, like that could give
1:16:49
Speaker 1: you and then you have, you know, a chance to
1:16:52
Speaker 1: have like a really special bullpen because you've got two
1:16:54
Speaker 1: really good left handers and just wait till Matt Brash
1:16:56
Speaker 1: gets right back.
1:16:58
Speaker 7: Crash back, and it can be great and shortening the
1:17:01
Speaker 7: game is important. Still got to work on improving this defense.
1:17:05
Speaker 7: He's still got to work on getting not a platoon bat,
1:17:07
Speaker 7: a right handed hitter who can hit left handers and
1:17:10
Speaker 7: right handers. You have to do some real stuff. Despite
1:17:14
Speaker 7: Depoto saying.
1:17:14
Speaker 1: All right, it's all right, Gray, Well you you have
1:17:17
Speaker 1: this coming up, Andrews also, what else a you got
1:17:19
Speaker 1: going on here?
1:17:19
Speaker 7: We're gonna talk to Keith Long about the MLB draft
1:17:22
Speaker 7: and the prospects, talk about Lazara Montes and Michael Royal
1:17:25
Speaker 7: being one step away. We're going to talk about some
1:17:28
Speaker 7: Seahawks stuff. I'm gonna talk a lot about this idea
1:17:32
Speaker 7: that the Seattle Seahawks have to be loved by everyone
1:17:35
Speaker 7: and the fans need them to love everyone too. I
1:17:37
Speaker 7: keep seeing these reels about being disrespected, and I want
1:17:40
Speaker 7: to talk about why the hell it matters to people
1:17:43
Speaker 7: so much.
1:17:44
Speaker 1: The Dallas Cowboys the Green Bay Packers have a long long,
1:17:48
Speaker 1: for a long time saying we did not care. Sure,
1:17:51
Speaker 1: we did not care. Looking forward to having it, Bud,
1:17:53
Speaker 1: Thanks Chris, Chris, Yes last week and a supt ball.
1:17:59
Speaker 1: It wasn't the dark side that one. It was we
1:18:01
Speaker 1: did not care because we did not care for Jess.
1:18:05
Speaker 1: I'm like for Greg Bell.
1:18:06
Speaker 5: See you
