- 0:40Speaker 3: is going to be bank b A n K. Go
- 0:42Speaker 3: ahead and enter that at where are we entering?
- 0:46Speaker 2: That?

- 0:56Speaker 3: bank at ninety three three kjr dot com or your
- 1:00Speaker 3: shot at a thousand dollars in cash from the thousand
- 1:04Speaker 3: dollars power play. All right, let's talk to gene Sterotor.
- 1:07Speaker 3: I don't believe you're eligible for that one thousand dollars, Jean,
- 1:10Speaker 3: sorry about it, a man.
- 1:12Speaker 4: That's okay, Chuck, I'll wait till next week. I'll wait
- 1:16Speaker 4: my turn.
- 1:18Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:18Speaker 3: Yeah, you're just gonna just gonna have to get Nance
- 1:21Speaker 3: and Romo to pay for your lunches for the next year.
- 1:25Speaker 3: That'll make up for that thousand dollars exactly.
- 1:29Speaker 4: Yeah, we're living on a fixed then, come here, Chuck,
- 1:31Speaker 4: one of the best we could do.
- 1:35Speaker 5: All right.
- 1:35Speaker 3: Well, we've got a lot of things to cover and
- 1:38Speaker 3: I'm excited to dive into it. But obviously we got
- 1:41Speaker 3: a big game coming up on Saturday. You at CBS
- 1:44Speaker 3: will not be here. We've got Fox doing our broadcasts. Otherwise,
- 1:49Speaker 3: maybe we could see you while you were in town.
- 1:53Speaker 3: But I did want to ask you about the officiating
- 1:55Speaker 3: crew that has been assigned to the seahawks Rams game.
- 2:00Speaker 3: On Hussey and his crew, what kind of scouting report
- 2:02Speaker 3: can you give on give us?
- 2:05Speaker 4: Well, you know, Hussey has been around a good long time,
- 2:08Speaker 4: so you you know, you've got a veteran referee there
- 2:10Speaker 4: that has been in these situations in the past, which
- 2:13Speaker 4: is always great crew wise, as you guys know, you
- 2:17Speaker 4: know it's not Hussy's screw from the regular season. So
- 2:20Speaker 4: we're moving into that divisional round now where it's the
- 2:23Speaker 4: top tier of the three tiers of officials.
- 2:26Speaker 2: That are assigned these games.
- 2:27Speaker 4: And for the most part, again because of John's experience,
- 2:31Speaker 4: I'm sure that he has been on cruise with you know,
- 2:34Speaker 4: a handful of these officials for sure.
- 2:36Speaker 6: Uh.
- 2:37Speaker 4: And then it's that blending right now, and I you know,
- 2:40Speaker 4: I really the intensity.
- 2:42Speaker 2: Levels pickup check. You know, the game plays.
- 2:44Speaker 4: Just a little bit different now, and I think the
- 2:49Speaker 4: quicker that you can get this group together, start to
- 2:52Speaker 4: break down tape, look at team matchups, look at individual matchups,
- 2:57Speaker 4: and then understand you know, the environment that you going into.
- 3:02Speaker 4: Things then hopefully fall in place and they continue. I
- 3:05Speaker 4: think we've had a good opening in a postseason. You know,
- 3:08Speaker 4: always a couple of plays here and there, but I
- 3:11Speaker 4: thought overall, the officiating this last weekend, it's some great,
- 3:14Speaker 4: great wild card football games. Hasn't been the story, you know,
- 3:19Speaker 4: And that's always the goal, right is that we talk
- 3:22Speaker 4: about the games, the matchups, and not the game impacting call.
- 3:26Speaker 2: Or something like that that took place.
- 3:28Speaker 4: So you've got to continue on this momentum and get
- 3:31Speaker 4: through what's going to be I think an amazing divisional
- 3:34Speaker 4: round now too.
- 3:35Speaker 3: One other quick follow up, would you rather have your
- 3:37Speaker 3: crew that you have symmetry with or do you like
- 3:41Speaker 3: the all star crews at that time of the year.
- 3:44Speaker 4: I think it's I think the all star cruise. I
- 3:46Speaker 4: was always a proponent of that. You know, when you
- 3:48Speaker 4: go into a regular season with one hundred and twenty
- 3:50Speaker 4: plus officials that vary in their levels of experience, and
- 3:55Speaker 4: hopefully the crews are put together in a way where
- 3:57Speaker 4: some inexperienced officials are kind of working alongside of officials
- 4:02Speaker 4: of more experienced There's a lot of training and mentoring
- 4:06Speaker 4: that really does have to take place, you know, on
- 4:09Speaker 4: the ground in real time, so you do spread that
- 4:12Speaker 4: out a little bit.
- 4:12Speaker 2: You want to be consistent as.
- 4:14Speaker 4: You can around seventeen cruise, which there are in the
- 4:16Speaker 4: regular season, But when you get to this spot, now,
- 4:19Speaker 4: let's let's go to that top ten, fifteen to twenty percent.
- 4:23Speaker 4: When you're working with officials that have that level of
- 4:27Speaker 4: experience and are having those types of years, putting them
- 4:30Speaker 4: together shouldn't be an issue, you know, I think it's
- 4:33Speaker 4: the best way to handle this.
- 4:34Speaker 2: You want to take the best of the best.
- 4:36Speaker 4: Now because we know the losers go home now, you know.
- 4:40Speaker 2: Yeah, Geen.
- 4:41Speaker 7: I mean, obviously, as an official, you don't want to
- 4:44Speaker 7: be on, you know, in the talking points the next
- 4:48Speaker 7: week about a bad call that cost somebody their season,
- 4:51Speaker 7: and in the playoffs it is you lose and you're done,
- 4:54Speaker 7: or a bad non call that cost you your season.
- 4:57Speaker 7: So I'm wondering if there is a concerted change or
- 5:01Speaker 7: an effort to try to like maybe throw less, like
- 5:05Speaker 7: let the players play, so to speak, because you do
- 5:07Speaker 7: seem it does feel like there's certain things that maybe
- 5:10Speaker 7: would have gotten flagged in Week three and they're not
- 5:13Speaker 7: so much because it's kind of just you're letting the
- 5:15Speaker 7: guys go out and play. So is there one of
- 5:17Speaker 7: those Is there a change between the years, And do you,
- 5:20Speaker 7: as the head official, do you go out there and
- 5:23Speaker 7: kind of tell you guys, hey, let's let's not throw
- 5:25Speaker 7: it unless we're one hundred percent positive.
- 5:28Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what, Bucky, It's a great question, and
- 5:31Speaker 4: it does feel that way. And I thought the irony
- 5:33Speaker 4: of going into the postseason always was you did feel
- 5:37Speaker 4: different on the field. It was like the fraternity of
- 5:40Speaker 4: players during the regular season they were going to compete
- 5:43Speaker 4: and be physical and all of the things that you
- 5:46Speaker 4: would expect athletes to do at that level. But when
- 5:50Speaker 4: you got to the postseason, it was almost like when
- 5:52Speaker 4: you saw them even kind of talking to each other
- 5:54Speaker 4: a little bit before the game. They may have played
- 5:57Speaker 4: college together, been on a different team together, and they
- 6:00Speaker 4: respect the hell out of each other, but they would
- 6:02Speaker 4: look at each other in this time of the year
- 6:04Speaker 4: and it was kind of the accepted feast of the postseasons, like.
- 6:09Speaker 2: You know, I love you, but today I'm taking you out.
- 6:12Speaker 2: You know, I'm trying to get you off the field
- 6:14Speaker 2: kind of thing.
- 6:15Speaker 4: So the intensity picks up. Players do play right to
- 6:19Speaker 4: the edge because they have to. I also think that
- 6:22Speaker 4: players understand the magnitude of penalties and what they mean
- 6:25Speaker 4: in these types of games too, So it's almost as
- 6:28Speaker 4: if they're even more polished on not maybe making that
- 6:33Speaker 4: additional little piece that pushes the envelope, but they're still
- 6:36Speaker 4: playing on the edge, if that makes any sense. And
- 6:39Speaker 4: quite honestly, from an officiating window, you want to instill
- 6:43Speaker 4: I always wanted to instill in the preseason with my
- 6:46Speaker 4: crew the same kind of mantra that we are feeling
- 6:50Speaker 4: right now, and that is listen in this game with
- 6:53Speaker 4: these athletes, you don't want to call that tiki tac
- 6:57Speaker 4: play in the first quarter for so many reasons. First
- 7:00Speaker 4: of all, I think we always said fish for whales,
- 7:03Speaker 4: don't fish for minnows.
- 7:04Speaker 2: That was just kind of the.
- 7:05Speaker 4: Little analogy that kept it simple and make it be
- 7:09Speaker 4: a really big foul.
- 7:10Speaker 2: Right now, the small chain stuff. Once you call something like.
- 7:14Speaker 4: That, and I use my basketball acumen for that. You know,
- 7:17Speaker 4: when we call a nickel dime handcheck in a basketball game,
- 7:20Speaker 4: it not only wasn't the right thing for the game,
- 7:22Speaker 4: it also put the officials in a box that say
- 7:24Speaker 4: consistent through the rest of that game, because now this
- 7:27Speaker 4: was on the field or this was on the court
- 7:29Speaker 4: as a called foul. And I think when you breathe
- 7:33Speaker 4: through the hand fighting, when you breathe through a little bit.
- 7:36Speaker 2: Of restriction and it doesn't affect the play.
- 7:39Speaker 4: Or they are pushing each other a little bit to
- 7:42Speaker 4: breathe through that, it should play through that way throughout
- 7:45Speaker 4: the regular season. But I do think that you emphasize
- 7:47Speaker 4: it a little bit more and more than likely in
- 7:50Speaker 4: the postseason, because you know, everyone understands the magnitude of
- 7:55Speaker 4: what everything every decision as you said, sometimes on call,
- 7:59Speaker 4: but decision has a great impact in these types of
- 8:03Speaker 4: games because they're so close and usually that those types
- 8:07Speaker 4: of things can decide the difference.
- 8:09Speaker 3: Man, the fiscality just seemed to got ramped up this week.
- 8:12Speaker 3: Oh man, those are some physical football games that we
- 8:15Speaker 3: watched this weekend. Jean Startar is with us. He is,
- 8:19Speaker 3: of course CBS Rules analysts greatest NFL official of all time,
- 8:23Speaker 3: and we get to chat with him here on Chuck
- 8:26Speaker 3: and Buck thanks to BMW Seattle. You had the Jacksonville
- 8:31Speaker 3: Buffalo game and really really interesting game from beginning to end,
- 8:36Speaker 3: and one call that didn't end up impacting the outcome
- 8:40Speaker 3: I found to be the most fascinating of the NFL weekend,
- 8:43Speaker 3: and that's when the clock seemed to run out at
- 8:46Speaker 3: halftime and they were racing to get to the line
- 8:50Speaker 3: and it looked like there was a zero on the
- 8:52Speaker 3: scoreboard and they didn't get it off in time. My
- 8:56Speaker 3: question was, and maybe you addressed it in the game.
- 8:58Speaker 3: I don't know if I heard it. Don't the officials
- 9:01Speaker 3: keep a different clock than the one that you see
- 9:04Speaker 3: on your television, because it didn't look like they got
- 9:07Speaker 3: the snap off in time and yet they ultimately reviewed
- 9:10Speaker 3: it and gave them a chance at the kick. So
- 9:12Speaker 3: explain that one to us as you saw it unfold.
- 9:16Speaker 2: I think there is.
- 9:17Speaker 4: That dynamic naturally, and when you're a back judge who
- 9:20Speaker 4: is primarily responsible for the game clock in those situations,
- 9:24Speaker 4: the back judges mechanics as that previous play is ending
- 9:29Speaker 4: and you realize that the next situation is.
- 9:31Speaker 2: This snap or no snap. What a back judge is doing.
- 9:34Speaker 4: In that situation, and the only two things she or
- 9:37Speaker 4: she should be doing is looking at the game clock
- 9:40Speaker 4: and then looking back to make sure as they're looking
- 9:43Speaker 4: and transitioning from the game clock to the field that
- 9:48Speaker 4: the offense all the offensive players are set, because that's
- 9:51Speaker 4: the deciding factor on the legality of whether a snap
- 9:54Speaker 4: can take place in a lot of other things, So
- 9:57Speaker 4: that back juge is really looking at both now at times,
- 10:01Speaker 4: the little input g clock could be off a little
- 10:04Speaker 4: from the official clock. I don't know if that was
- 10:07Speaker 4: the case in this one. And the other dynamic with
- 10:09Speaker 4: that play, which is a little bit of a you know,
- 10:12Speaker 4: kind of the second or third level nerdy referee piece
- 10:15Speaker 4: that when we're in those hurry up situations, if the
- 10:19Speaker 4: offense is illegally set, all eleven players are still, and
- 10:23Speaker 4: a player of the defense just hasn't gotten back from
- 10:26Speaker 4: the offensive side of the ball, and he's trying to
- 10:29Speaker 4: kind of squeeze like he's in a human traffic jam
- 10:32Speaker 4: between the tackle and the guard to get on his.
- 10:35Speaker 2: Side of the football.
- 10:36Speaker 4: Anytime a defensive player is still on the offensive side
- 10:40Speaker 4: of the ball when the offense is legally set and
- 10:43Speaker 4: prepared to spike the football, I had a lot of questions, like,
- 10:47Speaker 4: why why did that clock?
- 10:49Speaker 2: I mean, when he spiked it, it.
- 10:50Speaker 4: Was clearly zero, But because the defensive player was still
- 10:54Speaker 4: in the offensive side of the football at the time
- 10:57Speaker 4: the offensive set and began the snap, that play officially
- 11:01Speaker 4: ends as soon as that center starts to move that
- 11:04Speaker 4: football at all. So that's where I went and was focusing.
- 11:09Speaker 2: I don't know if the.
- 11:10Speaker 4: NFL now considers going into the tense of a second
- 11:13Speaker 4: that we've seen in basketball for years now because of
- 11:16Speaker 4: a lot of last second shots or play clock expirations,
- 11:20Speaker 4: and see if that happens within the last second or
- 11:22Speaker 4: three seconds of a game clock scenario. It was really, really,
- 11:27Speaker 4: really close, and I thought that I had a look
- 11:30Speaker 4: on my replay that felt like that center kind of
- 11:34Speaker 4: almost kind of hitched for just a quick second right
- 11:37Speaker 4: before snapping it, which again, that hitch would be an
- 11:39Speaker 4: illegal snap or something to that effect if everyone.
- 11:44Speaker 2: Were legally set. But because that.
- 11:46Speaker 4: Movement occurred and the defense was still on the offensive
- 11:49Speaker 4: side of the football, that has a shutdown play. And
- 11:52Speaker 4: I do think we were somewhere in that limbo between
- 11:55Speaker 4: the one becoming the zero, right like this camera frame
- 11:59Speaker 4: is zero and one camera frame back is like it's
- 12:02Speaker 4: a full one. So where were we in that time?
- 12:06Speaker 4: But I've never had that happen. I've never seen it
- 12:08Speaker 4: happen before. That was kind of a one off for me.
- 12:10Speaker 4: And then for those that think he didn't get it off,
- 12:13Speaker 4: we go back to the backyard of the playground and
- 12:16Speaker 4: go back to that great saying.
- 12:17Speaker 2: That the ball doesn't lie right, So they.
- 12:20Speaker 4: Missed the field goal and it was all for not
- 12:22Speaker 4: at the end of it all, so you know, the
- 12:25Speaker 4: football gods know what they're doing. We start messing things
- 12:27Speaker 4: up a little too much down there, and they're like,
- 12:29Speaker 4: all right, go ahead, line it up, and a gust
- 12:32Speaker 4: of wind shows up out of nowhere.
- 12:34Speaker 2: It blows with watch, so.
- 12:37Speaker 7: Jean there was another play in that game. It was
- 12:40Speaker 7: like in the second quarter, Jacksonville was up I think
- 12:43Speaker 7: seven to three, and they're they're marching down there there,
- 12:46Speaker 7: they're inside the ten yard line. That's a fourth and two.
- 12:49Speaker 7: They go for it and Trevor Lawrence ends up running
- 12:53Speaker 7: and initially it looks like he gets the first down.
- 12:55Speaker 7: They even went so far as to do that the
- 12:58Speaker 7: virtual measurement and then show that he does get it.
- 13:00Speaker 7: But then they challenge the spot and his shin was down.
- 13:03Speaker 7: I have a couple of things. One, without the perfect angle,
- 13:08Speaker 7: or if someone's blocking the perfect angle, that's probably not
- 13:11Speaker 7: going to get overturned in Two is it anything except
- 13:14Speaker 7: for their foot or hand, Like if it wasn't, his
- 13:16Speaker 7: shin was down, Like just at first, I'm like, was
- 13:19Speaker 7: ankles down? He kind of looks like he pushes off
- 13:21Speaker 7: of his ankle. Is that considered down as well?
- 13:26Speaker 2: Well?
- 13:26Speaker 4: When the ankle begins to roll into the shin in
- 13:30Speaker 4: this little kind of fractionary anatomy class, then when it
- 13:34Speaker 4: gets above the ankle, he's down. Same with the back
- 13:38Speaker 4: of the wrist. That would apply with the forearm and
- 13:41Speaker 4: the wrist. So you give a little a piece of
- 13:43Speaker 4: that wrist or a piece of that ankle. But as
- 13:45Speaker 4: soon as it gets a little beyond that, now they're down.
- 13:48Speaker 4: The other element I thought was really really important on
- 13:51Speaker 4: that play was what Trevor Lawrence kind of that shin
- 13:55Speaker 4: buckled to launch himself toward the line the game. I
- 14:00Speaker 4: didn't feel, in much objective opinion that he was putting
- 14:03Speaker 4: himself down by contact with that shin. More he was,
- 14:07Speaker 4: you know, projecting himself forward, whether a body part touched
- 14:11Speaker 4: down down at that point or not. To me, unless
- 14:15Speaker 4: he was being touched by a defensive player, I would
- 14:18Speaker 4: not have counted that shin or knee to be a
- 14:21Speaker 4: downpoint like a sliding point, you know, giving himself up
- 14:25Speaker 4: point at that at that juncture. And that's why I
- 14:29Speaker 4: was really focusing really a lot on Thompson fifty sixth
- 14:33Speaker 4: from from Buffalo to see if he was touching Lawrence
- 14:38Speaker 4: when that right shin or that body part was down
- 14:41Speaker 4: prior to the launch, and we got a great angle.
- 14:44Speaker 4: I think it was our second angle of the replay
- 14:47Speaker 4: which really presented that to me really well, because you
- 14:50Speaker 4: could still see the shin there and him being touched
- 14:52Speaker 4: prior to him catapulting himself forward. So there were a
- 14:56Speaker 4: lot of legs on it, and then we got to
- 14:57Speaker 4: see too. Look, the virtual measurement came out as a
- 15:00Speaker 4: first down because the virtual measurement is always going off
- 15:05Speaker 4: of where the people on the field beside the football is.
- 15:09Speaker 4: So as much as that nice technology that comes in
- 15:12Speaker 4: to show, when it shows, it all goes back to, well,
- 15:16Speaker 4: we're measuring it from where the humans put it, right,
- 15:19Speaker 4: So the challenge then came. I thought it was a
- 15:22Speaker 4: really big time challenge there. And then we did see
- 15:26Speaker 4: that he was being touch prior to him launching himself,
- 15:29Speaker 4: you know.
- 15:29Speaker 2: Beyond the line to gain.
- 15:30Speaker 4: So I think everything worked in the right process there.
- 15:35Speaker 4: And another big decision because if you take three at
- 15:37Speaker 4: that point, you know, maybe the game unfolds a little
- 15:41Speaker 4: differently too. But that was just the gist of the
- 15:43Speaker 4: weekend where those decisions were just huge everywhere.
- 15:47Speaker 3: Yeah, Jane Stertor is with us, all right. The last
- 15:51Speaker 3: one that I want to make sure that we get
- 15:52Speaker 3: to was at the end of the college game between
- 15:57Speaker 3: Ole Miss and Miami. Now, I may swallow your whistle
- 16:02Speaker 3: kind of I'm a proponent of that at the end
- 16:05Speaker 3: of a game, let's let the players decide this and
- 16:08Speaker 3: in your but in your analogy of whales versus minnows,
- 16:13Speaker 3: that pass interference or lack thereof of a call seem
- 16:18Speaker 3: kind of whalelike to me, Jean, very whaleish, because it
- 16:23Speaker 3: looked like that receiver was getting mugged for about seven
- 16:26Speaker 3: straight yards heading into the end zone. What should have
- 16:29Speaker 3: been called there or not called?
- 16:31Speaker 4: Man that you're talking like, that's a big whale away,
- 16:34Speaker 4: there's seven steps. That's that's a whale that I don't
- 16:37Speaker 4: have a.
- 16:37Speaker 2: Hook for it, Chuck.
- 16:38Speaker 4: I thought maybeould go just with a medium sized fish
- 16:41Speaker 4: or something.
- 16:41Speaker 2: But man, a days, you know what I looked.
- 16:44Speaker 4: At on the play, and look, it's not a traditional
- 16:46Speaker 4: hell of very play, which I do think you have
- 16:49Speaker 4: to take a breast through because there's just too many
- 16:51Speaker 4: people clustered at the catch point that you can break
- 16:54Speaker 4: it down and say there's three files on the play
- 16:56Speaker 4: and just keep redoing the darn think because of be offsetting.
- 16:59Speaker 4: Probably what I really looked at on the play is
- 17:02Speaker 4: when they initially came together, probably about three or four
- 17:07Speaker 4: steps before the catchpoint of the ball got there. To me,
- 17:11Speaker 4: I felt like the receiver initiated at least putting an
- 17:14Speaker 4: arm toward that defensive back that was coming to him. Again,
- 17:18Speaker 4: when I train officials in those aspects, and a defensive
- 17:24Speaker 4: back is on what we call chase mode because he's
- 17:26Speaker 4: behind and now as he's closing in on that receiver,
- 17:28Speaker 4: the receiver now does put an arm out or begins
- 17:31Speaker 4: to initiate some little hand fighting or some contact within
- 17:36Speaker 4: that space as they start to become closer together. Once
- 17:41Speaker 4: those one offensive player starts to initiate some of that,
- 17:45Speaker 4: I want to allow the defensive player not to physically
- 17:48Speaker 4: restrict or hold things down in an egregious way. But
- 17:51Speaker 4: now I want to allow you to have a little
- 17:55Speaker 4: hand fighting from your side as well. We are both
- 17:57Speaker 4: now making a decision that our hands are going to
- 18:00Speaker 4: play within our bodies here, and a little bit of
- 18:02Speaker 4: separation or a little bit of push on either end
- 18:05Speaker 4: of that space without it being overly egregious, I think
- 18:09Speaker 4: is good officiating. I think that's that wail that's when
- 18:12Speaker 4: it goes into that other place right at the end.
- 18:16Speaker 4: Does it look like he's holding on like for one
- 18:18Speaker 4: more frame or click or tick longer than he needs to, Yeah,
- 18:23Speaker 4: I think there's a case for it. And then the
- 18:25Speaker 4: football kind of dives further away, but that initial interaction
- 18:29Speaker 4: with the receiver putting his hands on the defensive back.
- 18:32Speaker 2: Now I'm letting that.
- 18:33Speaker 4: Debut grab that arm a little bit, try to swim
- 18:35Speaker 4: it away, and within that little blending of that next
- 18:39Speaker 4: second or two, I'm a fan.
- 18:41Speaker 2: Of leave that alone.
- 18:44Speaker 4: Not just on those plays, I would say on all plays.
- 18:46Speaker 4: But then as you watch the end of it, as
- 18:48Speaker 4: I said, when you break these down, or when we
- 18:51Speaker 4: watch these replays in such slow motion after some of
- 18:55Speaker 4: those plays that occur within a second, you know, we're
- 18:58Speaker 4: dissecting an awful lot of stuff that really I think
- 19:00Speaker 4: does look much more exaggerated than it probably felt or
- 19:04Speaker 4: happened in real time to a person on the field.
- 19:08Speaker 2: I was cool with it being left alone. That's again,
- 19:10Speaker 2: those are opinions.
- 19:11Speaker 3: Okay, all right, all right, good to hear it from you.
- 19:15Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I the thing about college is
- 19:18Speaker 3: that you don't have to put it at the one
- 19:20Speaker 3: yard line. They would still have to complete like a
- 19:23Speaker 3: sixteen yard pass or something like that in order to
- 19:26Speaker 3: win the game. It kind of buys you a little
- 19:28Speaker 3: bit of a break if you wanted to call that.
- 19:31Speaker 3: So it doesn't feel like you as the official determined
- 19:33Speaker 3: the outcome of the game on a penalty. So but
- 19:38Speaker 3: it looked it looked pretty fierce to me. But you
- 19:41Speaker 3: know what, and Gene, I trust, so we're gonna go
- 19:44Speaker 3: with you. We're gonna go with you.
- 19:47Speaker 6: I stepped back.
- 19:48Speaker 4: I like it for the next twenty minute.
- 19:51Speaker 3: I stepped back from the crime scene. Gene has weighed in.
- 19:55Speaker 3: All right, Well, thank you, Sarah. We appreciate where you
- 19:57Speaker 3: going to be this weekend.
- 19:59Speaker 2: This week we falled out late last night.
- 20:01Speaker 4: We'll be in Denver for the Ruffalo Bills, but OS
- 20:04Speaker 4: will be on the other three.
- 20:05Speaker 2: Man.
- 20:06Speaker 4: I mean, it's going to be a great week in Seattle.
- 20:09Speaker 4: I know what that environment's like. I had the luxury
- 20:11Speaker 4: to work a couple of pretty big playoff games there,
- 20:14Speaker 4: and I am jealous because whoever and John Hussey and
- 20:18Speaker 4: that crew and the eighty thousand plus that'll be there,
- 20:23Speaker 4: I am sure in for an amazing experience in a
- 20:25Speaker 4: great football game. So good luck to everybody out that way.
- 20:28Speaker 4: And let's go with the stripes not being a story
- 20:31Speaker 4: again for another weekend.
- 20:33Speaker 3: Right, all right, Well, we'll be watching, so have a
- 20:36Speaker 3: great show and we'll talk to you next week.
- 20:39Speaker 2: Thanks guys, have a great week, all right.
- 20:41Speaker 3: Jean Sterator, CBS Rules analyst, joins us every Tuesday thanks
- 20:44Speaker 3: to BMW Seattle. Looking for a new or used BMW
- 20:48Speaker 3: or something else even, go check out BMW Seattle, conveniently
- 20:51Speaker 3: located between I five and I ninety near the stadiums.
- 20:55Speaker 3: Coming up next, the voice of your Seattle Craggin everet
- 20:58Speaker 3: fits you on sports radio No. Tiny three point three KJRFM.
- 21:11Speaker 3: Oh joining us now on the Chucking Back Radio program,
- 21:14Speaker 3: as he does every Tuesday at this time. Radio star,
- 21:17Speaker 3: television star. Hell, if he wasn't so busy with his
- 21:21Speaker 3: hockey schedule, I'm pretty sure he would have been there
- 21:23Speaker 3: at the Golden Globes earlier this probably, you know, either
- 21:28Speaker 3: accepting award or handing one out.
- 21:30Speaker 2: I mean, he's just.
- 21:31Speaker 3: A man of the people, very multi talented. He's everywhere.
- 21:34Speaker 7: There's really nothing he can't do. In anything that he
- 21:36Speaker 7: does do, he excels at. He basically is my idol.
- 21:40Speaker 3: Yeah, evert fits you is with us here. No stage
- 21:44Speaker 3: too big for this man. Good morning sir.
- 21:47Speaker 6: You know, just trying to give the people what they want,
- 21:50Speaker 6: what they clamor for.
- 21:54Speaker 3: It's that kind of touch that you have with your
- 21:58Speaker 3: fan base that really it does set you apart. Yep, yeah, well,
- 22:04Speaker 3: great to hear from you, and nice to start that
- 22:07Speaker 3: road trip. I mean, you've lost to in a row,
- 22:10Speaker 3: you're down two to nothing, you're in New York and
- 22:13Speaker 3: the fans are nasty, and you come back with four
- 22:17Speaker 3: straight goals and win that thing last night? How big
- 22:21Speaker 3: did it feel not to let this losing streak turn
- 22:24Speaker 3: into something more to start this road trip?
- 22:28Speaker 6: Well, you know that that game against against the Rangers,
- 22:32Speaker 6: you need it, you needed a bounce back. Last night
- 22:35Speaker 6: was all about the response, and you're right, you couldn't
- 22:38Speaker 6: let that, you know, ten game point streak that you
- 22:42Speaker 6: were on eighth to two spiral into something worse. And
- 22:47Speaker 6: they did a really good job of that. They got
- 22:48Speaker 6: themselves into a two nothing hole, they were able to
- 22:51Speaker 6: climb out of it, and you don't want to make
- 22:52Speaker 6: a habit of doing that, but the cracking showed that
- 22:56Speaker 6: they can make those adjustments. In the second period, I
- 23:00Speaker 6: mean Berkeley Katton getting his fourth goal in as many games.
- 23:04Speaker 6: You know it was started by a great play from
- 23:07Speaker 6: Matty Veneers earlier in that period as well, Ali's holding him,
- 23:12Speaker 6: Jordan every getting goals in the second period. So I
- 23:15Speaker 6: think for Seattle, the bounce back, the response is exactly
- 23:19Speaker 6: what they needed. They got back to playing their brand
- 23:21Speaker 6: of hockey. And that's what good teams do, That's what
- 23:24Speaker 6: playoff teams do. They nip those kids in the bud.
- 23:28Speaker 6: They don't let things spiral out of control. And looking
- 23:33Speaker 6: back at that game last night against the Rangers, I
- 23:35Speaker 6: remember having some conversations, you know, with some players earlier
- 23:39Speaker 6: in the year about Lane Lambert in the style and
- 23:42Speaker 6: the success that they were having early in the season,
- 23:44Speaker 6: and a couple of them told me, you know, it
- 23:47Speaker 6: was refreshing to play because you go back last year,
- 23:50Speaker 6: last couple of years, we're down to nothing of the Rangers.
- 23:53Speaker 6: That becomes for nothing pretty quick. We let things spiral
- 23:57Speaker 6: out of control. We're not doing that this year. And
- 24:01Speaker 6: the guys have told me like, it's been refreshing. And
- 24:03Speaker 6: it's nothing against you know, the other coaches in the
- 24:06Speaker 6: previous regimes, but just the way that this style and
- 24:10Speaker 6: Lane Lambert is coaching this team, You're not seeing things
- 24:14Speaker 6: spiral the way that they have in recent years.
- 24:17Speaker 2: I'm with you.
- 24:18Speaker 7: I mean, you said, a couple of years it feels
- 24:19Speaker 7: like maybe even a couple of months ago, they maybe
- 24:22Speaker 7: wouldn't have won that game. And so you're talking about
- 24:24Speaker 7: the adjustments obviously that Lane Lambert and his staff make
- 24:28Speaker 7: and then the guys go going out there and doing
- 24:30Speaker 7: it on the ice. What exactly are those changes the
- 24:34Speaker 7: differences that you're seeing right now out of this cracking
- 24:38Speaker 7: team versus what was going on maybe earlier in the season,
- 24:42Speaker 7: during spurts and previously.
- 24:44Speaker 6: I think I think for for Seattle, the number one
- 24:49Speaker 6: thing is, regardless of if you're not getting opportunities offensively,
- 24:55Speaker 6: regardless if you're not scoring, you're going to defend. You're
- 24:59Speaker 6: gonna defend. You're going to push guys to the outside.
- 25:02Speaker 6: You're going to limit those high danger chances. Your goaltending
- 25:06Speaker 6: needs to be a stellar and it has been all
- 25:10Speaker 6: year long. Those are those foundational principles. I asked Lane
- 25:14Speaker 6: Lambert the other day, what's been going right on this
- 25:17Speaker 6: tennth time, the ten gay point streak, and he said, well,
- 25:20Speaker 6: we're scoring goals. Defensively, we've not changed a lot. You
- 25:23Speaker 6: go again, you look at that the last what twelve games,
- 25:27Speaker 6: the Kraken have allowed two or fewer goals in nine
- 25:32Speaker 6: of those twelve games, and they've scored three or more
- 25:36Speaker 6: goals in eight of those twelve games. So the offense
- 25:40Speaker 6: is coming. The defense has always been there, but that's
- 25:44Speaker 6: been the key bucket. Regardless of what you're doing offensively,
- 25:48Speaker 6: we're going to limit their chances. We're going to push
- 25:49Speaker 6: them to the outside. We're not going to give up
- 25:51Speaker 6: any shots. Any grade a's high dangers in the house,
- 25:55Speaker 6: which is that area from the hash marks in in
- 25:58Speaker 6: the circles. So we're not going to be giving up
- 26:01Speaker 6: those opportunities. And as long as you stick to that,
- 26:04Speaker 6: you're going to be successful. And that's what we're seeing
- 26:07Speaker 6: this last month of the first month of the new year.
- 26:11Speaker 3: The voice of your Seattle Cracking is whe Us Everett
- 26:14Speaker 3: fits you was with us right here on Chuck and
- 26:16Speaker 3: Buck in the mornings. I thought the kids really kind
- 26:19Speaker 3: of carried the day during that winning streak, you know,
- 26:23Speaker 3: Catton and Milanson and Myers and Winterton. Not that they
- 26:29Speaker 3: were the best players on the ice for the Kracking,
- 26:31Speaker 3: but they gave them something different, maybe that they were missing,
- 26:35Speaker 3: maybe that the opponents hadn't had the opportunity to prepare for.
- 26:39Speaker 3: And now you lose a couple of games, and it
- 26:43Speaker 3: sure is nice to get the veterans back. The Schwartz
- 26:46Speaker 3: is back in the lineup and hopefully montor soon and
- 26:50Speaker 3: Eberly's playing great, so a great time to kind of
- 26:53Speaker 3: get the vets back off the off the shelf, as
- 26:57Speaker 3: maybe the league was starting to figure out these young
- 27:00Speaker 3: kids in the spark that they were providing.
- 27:03Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know what, though, I felt like into
- 27:08Speaker 6: you're right, individually, maybe they weren't the best, you know,
- 27:12Speaker 6: players on the ice, but I thought collectively that Winterton,
- 27:16Speaker 6: Myers and Malanson line, what they brought, the energy and
- 27:20Speaker 6: the identity that they have brought to this team is
- 27:23Speaker 6: something I think that's been missing. And you're right, getting
- 27:28Speaker 6: Montour back. He's in New York with us. He was
- 27:30Speaker 6: skating yesterday at morning skates, So we'll see what that
- 27:33Speaker 6: means in a non contact jersey. Typically when you get
- 27:37Speaker 6: guys in non contact jerseys, and in my experience, you
- 27:41Speaker 6: got about three to four days of practices. So they'll
- 27:46Speaker 6: skate today, they probably won't skate tomorrow at Montour may
- 27:50Speaker 6: go over and get a couple turns in. Maybe he
- 27:53Speaker 6: comes back for Boston or Utah. Stevenson's back on the
- 27:57Speaker 6: ground after the birth of his third child, so he
- 27:59Speaker 6: should be back in the lineup tomorrow in New Jersey
- 28:03Speaker 6: against the Devils. But you're right, you're getting where I
- 28:06Speaker 6: think the last couple of games the Krackton have missed
- 28:10Speaker 6: steps has been their puck management. There's been far too
- 28:12Speaker 6: many turnovers, especially in that Carolina game. Seattle had a
- 28:16Speaker 6: chance to at least get a point out of that
- 28:18Speaker 6: Carolina game and they couldn't do it because of some
- 28:21Speaker 6: cost and turnovers. Tanader Stevenson manages that puck better. He's
- 28:24Speaker 6: not going to give that buck up. Getting Jordan Everley
- 28:27Speaker 6: last night back against the Rangers, you saw that calming
- 28:31Speaker 6: presence that he can bring. So I think the way
- 28:34Speaker 6: the lineup has constructed the last week has been paying off.
- 28:39Speaker 6: And you're right. The kids have been phenomenal. Berkeley Catton
- 28:42Speaker 6: four goals as last four games, Malonson the physicality that
- 28:45Speaker 6: he breaks, Ryan Winterton, Ben Myers being able to contribute
- 28:50Speaker 6: as well. But it's going to be nice to get
- 28:52Speaker 6: your full roster back. And I'll tell you what. The
- 28:54Speaker 6: Kracktn are entering uncharted territory. Seattle now is going into
- 29:00Speaker 6: game what is this game forty five coming up tomorrow
- 29:05Speaker 6: against the Devils. They have not had an entirely healthy
- 29:09Speaker 6: roster all year long, and it's gonna be a few
- 29:11Speaker 6: more games until montur and Stevenson and maybe Matt Murray
- 29:16Speaker 6: get back. But maybe around game fifty the Kracking are
- 29:19Speaker 6: going to be for the first time fully healthy all season.
- 29:22Speaker 2: Well.
- 29:22Speaker 3: I don't want to be the person that corrects your math,
- 29:25Speaker 3: but I believe if you include Chandler's oldest son, Berkeley,
- 29:31Speaker 3: that's four children, then.
- 29:33Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, he got four. I forgot his old nineteen
- 29:37Speaker 6: year old recently adopted son Berkeley. That's right, which, by
- 29:40Speaker 6: the way, real quick, I absolutely love that story. Right more,
- 29:45Speaker 6: this should happen more often for folks who don't know
- 29:48Speaker 6: Berkeley Catton. Chadler Stevenson took in Berkeley Catton to live
- 29:52Speaker 6: with him and his wife and his kids, and he
- 29:55Speaker 6: is getting the benefit of being around a hometown kids.
- 30:00Speaker 2: That's what a kid.
- 30:00Speaker 6: They both grew up in the same place. You're living
- 30:03Speaker 6: with a two time Cup winning NHL event who can
- 30:06Speaker 6: show you the ropes how to be a pro. You
- 30:08Speaker 6: get a bed that's not a hotel bed. You get
- 30:11Speaker 6: a meal, hot meal, home cooked meals every day, you
- 30:14Speaker 6: cannot under undervalue and undersell the importance of that. Sidney
- 30:20Speaker 6: Crosby when he first got in the league, he lived
- 30:23Speaker 6: with Mario Lemieux in Pittsburgh. Maclin Celebrini is living with
- 30:26Speaker 6: Patrick Barlow and Joe Fulton in San Jose. There is
- 30:31Speaker 6: something to be said about that, and the fact that
- 30:35Speaker 6: Stevenson said, yeah, come live with me, Come learn what
- 30:37Speaker 6: it's like to be a pro that does not get
- 30:41Speaker 6: talked about or commended enough.
- 30:43Speaker 3: And you're responsible for the pool and the landscaping.
- 30:46Speaker 2: Yep, well right, funny.
- 30:48Speaker 6: Because Stevenson said he was like, uh, he was asked,
- 30:51Speaker 6: you know, what was the reason behind having cat and liberty.
- 30:55Speaker 6: He goes, oh, babysitting for sure. Right, yes, he's gonna
- 30:58Speaker 6: watch the kids, you know, do the chores around the
- 31:01Speaker 6: house and yeah, but also the pool in the landscape,
- 31:05Speaker 6: and I want those I want those lawn edges to
- 31:07Speaker 6: be crisp, all.
- 31:08Speaker 3: Right, sharp, Yeah, I want some scissorhands shrubbery. I want
- 31:12Speaker 3: like a dinosaur in the backyard. That's what I want.
- 31:16Speaker 3: Thirty seconds New Jersey Tomorrow, give us a little preview.
- 31:20Speaker 6: Well, like the Rangers, they're going in the wrong direction
- 31:23Speaker 6: and they've been trying to turn things around. This is
- 31:26Speaker 6: a game that you know, Seattle, I'm not going to
- 31:30Speaker 6: say it must win, but but it probably should win.
- 31:33Speaker 6: This is a team that you should be sitting at
- 31:36Speaker 6: seventh right now, out of the wildcard spot in the
- 31:39Speaker 6: in the in the West. So they're three six and
- 31:41Speaker 6: one in their last ten games, but they they are
- 31:45Speaker 6: going in the wrong direction. The Cracking capitalize on that tomorrow.
- 31:48Speaker 3: All right, sounds great. All right, we'll be listening. Thank you, sir,
- 31:50Speaker 3: We appreciate it, and talk to you next week.
- 31:53Speaker 6: All right, Fellows to Ashley, take care, thanks for the time.
- 31:56Speaker 3: All right, evert fits you're joining us right here on
- 31:58Speaker 3: Chuck and Buck in the morning as he does every
- 32:01Speaker 3: Tuesday at eight thirty Cracking back on the ice tomorrow
- 32:05Speaker 3: four o'clock start time in New Jersey, right here on
- 32:08Speaker 3: your flagship Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Coming
- 32:12Speaker 3: up next, do you change, just to change if you're
- 32:17Speaker 3: Mike McDonald, will discuss as we are closer than ever
- 32:21Speaker 3: to that playoff game against the forty nine ers on
- 32:24Speaker 3: Saturday night, Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. It's Chuck,
- 32:28Speaker 3: Buck and Ashley with you here on this Tuesday morning.
- 32:31Speaker 3: Rick new Isa will join us at the top of
- 32:34Speaker 3: the hour. We know that the Seahawks are playing Saturday
- 32:36Speaker 3: night at five o'clock against the San Francisco forty nine Ers,
- 32:39Speaker 3: a team that they just faced the two weeks ago.
- 32:42Speaker 3: I mean, at least the forty nine Ers had that
- 32:44Speaker 3: Eagles buffer in between. For Mike McDonald, he has to
- 32:47Speaker 3: prepare for the same team two games in a row,
- 32:52Speaker 3: and it makes you wonder if he's going to triple
- 32:55Speaker 3: think a double think, if he's going to prepare for
- 32:58Speaker 3: what Kyle Shanahan might do and it throws him off
- 33:02Speaker 3: his own game plan. I mean, how do you even
- 33:04Speaker 3: do that? You know he's going to make changes, but
- 33:06Speaker 3: you don't know what changes he's going to make. So
- 33:08Speaker 3: then do you try to, you know, see what changes
- 33:12Speaker 3: is going to make and make those changes to your
- 33:15Speaker 3: own team. I mean, what you did the last time
- 33:17Speaker 3: Lork pretty freaking good and worked pretty freaking well. So
- 33:23Speaker 3: Greg Bell actually asked that question at his press conference
- 33:27Speaker 3: yesterday of Mike McDonald.
- 33:28Speaker 8: There's things in the game plan that we didn't get to.
- 33:30Speaker 8: I'm sure there's things in their game plan they didn't
- 33:32Speaker 8: get to. And you know, to use the old the
- 33:35Speaker 8: game declaring itself type thing. I mean, you don't know
- 33:37Speaker 8: how these games are going to go, and so this
- 33:40Speaker 8: game is going to play out, it's about a ninety
- 33:42Speaker 8: nine point nine chance is going to play out way
- 33:45Speaker 8: different than the last one, and you got to do
- 33:47Speaker 8: a great job of recognizing it and making the adjustments
- 33:49Speaker 8: and doing all that type of stuff.
- 33:52Speaker 3: That's a comforting answer, because, man, don't you just hearing
- 34:00Speaker 3: that even though it was a ten point game, Oh,
- 34:04Speaker 3: it was a runaway and hide kind of game, but
- 34:07Speaker 3: they were so confident that they were in control of
- 34:09Speaker 3: the game that Mike McDonald's answer is, there's a lot
- 34:13Speaker 3: we didn't have to use. Yeah, we already have stuff
- 34:17Speaker 3: that we didn't even use, that we were prepared to
- 34:20Speaker 3: use that we think would have worked perfectly against them
- 34:23Speaker 3: the last time. That they have no idea that we're
- 34:26Speaker 3: going to do this time around. That's pretty comforting, right there, too,
- 34:30Speaker 3: have used just kind of a fraction of your defensive
- 34:34Speaker 3: game plan an offensive game plan to come away with
- 34:37Speaker 3: that huge win two weeks ago.
- 34:40Speaker 7: Oh well yeah, I mean, I don't know. I would
- 34:42Speaker 7: imagine there couldn't have been a whole heck of a
- 34:44Speaker 7: lot more up his sleeve defensively because he threw everything
- 34:47Speaker 7: out him and it all worked perfect. Like, I don't
- 34:50Speaker 7: think there's much of an adjustment. Maybe there's a couple
- 34:53Speaker 7: of things where you know, they got to purty before
- 34:55Speaker 7: he saw this guy that could have been a play
- 34:58Speaker 7: that conversion or player or something. But for the most part,
- 35:01Speaker 7: stifling defense. I think offensively, it was a greg that
- 35:05Speaker 7: was saying he wouldn't be surprised if they they try
- 35:07Speaker 7: to go down the field a little more. Whereas offensively,
- 35:11Speaker 7: you saw pretty darn early in that game that you
- 35:14Speaker 7: do that on purpose.
- 35:17Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's.
- 35:18Speaker 7: That's I got to give that to my buddy Benny.
- 35:20Speaker 7: He he likes to every time where the Seahawks playing
- 35:24Speaker 7: in the nine, saying it's pretty dominant right now, or
- 35:27Speaker 7: this pretty he does.
- 35:28Speaker 2: It a lot.
- 35:29Speaker 3: It's already getting pretty darn old well, and I just
- 35:31Speaker 3: got exposed.
- 35:32Speaker 7: You need to get over it because it's pretty funny.
- 35:35Speaker 7: But I do think there's a pretty good chance that offensively,
- 35:38Speaker 7: they they they recognized early in that game that their
- 35:42Speaker 7: defense was playing pretty well, and uh, and their offense
- 35:46Speaker 7: didn't have to do a lot. They just had to
- 35:47Speaker 7: kind of take care of the ball and and you know,
- 35:50Speaker 7: get a few field goals here and there, and and
- 35:52Speaker 7: yet I wouldn't be surprised if the game does change
- 35:55Speaker 7: to where he's going into it not expecting it to
- 35:57Speaker 7: be quite so dominant defensively that Kyle Shanahan's going to
- 36:01Speaker 7: have a couple tricks up his sleeve.
- 36:03Speaker 3: And so you're gonna have to.
- 36:04Speaker 7: Open up the playbook a little bit more offensively so
- 36:07Speaker 7: that you're not sitting there, you know, sweating out of
- 36:09Speaker 7: some thirteen to ten game.
- 36:12Speaker 3: Said, I say, just let them trick away. I'm not
- 36:14Speaker 3: gonna change too much. I'm not going to try to
- 36:16Speaker 3: overthink this whatever you did last time you were in
- 36:19Speaker 3: the huddle of Kyle Shanahan on both sides of the
- 36:23Speaker 3: ball and Robert Salah on both sides of the ball.
- 36:26Speaker 3: If they make some adjustments, I mean, Mike McDonald's great
- 36:29Speaker 3: at making adjustments himself. As a matter of fact, there's
- 36:31Speaker 3: a bit of a trend usually like they first possession
- 36:35Speaker 3: every game against the Seahawks, they move the ball but
- 36:38Speaker 3: points on the board. It just feels that way all
- 36:40Speaker 3: season long. And then he's like, Okay, I see what
- 36:43Speaker 3: they're trying to do.
- 36:44Speaker 2: So we're gonna do this.
- 36:45Speaker 3: I mean even the Rams that game where they played
- 36:47Speaker 3: so well offensively against this the second game, they didn't
- 36:50Speaker 3: run the ball at all in the second half. And
- 36:53Speaker 3: it's because Mike McDonald got into the locker room from
- 36:55Speaker 3: what I hear, and just said, I know what they're doing.
- 36:57Speaker 3: We're gonna do this, and they just could snuffed it out.
- 36:59Speaker 3: Come bleed. They now Stafford kept throwing the ball effectively. Uh,
- 37:03Speaker 3: and they put more points on the board than anyone
- 37:05Speaker 3: was comfortable with. But man, I just think, I think,
- 37:08Speaker 3: I think you've got the recipe for the forty nine ers,
- 37:11Speaker 3: and I'm not gonna overthink it. If I'm Mike McDonald,
- 37:14Speaker 3: well no, it's.
- 37:14Speaker 5: A classic blunder if you overthink it.
- 37:16Speaker 3: That's like.
- 37:17Speaker 9: But I do, honestly think when I think of the
- 37:19Speaker 9: matchup between Shanahan and McDonald, I kind of think of
- 37:22Speaker 9: that Princess Bride poison scene.
- 37:24Speaker 4: Right.
- 37:25Speaker 9: Wesley doesn't overthink anything, right, He's just sitting there calmly. Meanwhile,
- 37:29Speaker 9: Vizzini's got this whole plan and he's fallen victim and
- 37:32Speaker 9: blah blah blah blah blah because he overthought the whole thing.
- 37:35Speaker 3: I switched the glasses, Shanahan. You didn't see me twitch
- 37:39Speaker 3: the glassies, but I switched the glassies.
- 37:41Speaker 9: See it would be yeah, he'd be Shanahan would be
- 37:43Speaker 9: saying it to McDonald, and McDonald would have been building
- 37:45Speaker 9: up his hyacane powder immunity the whole time.
- 37:50Speaker 5: That's what's happening.
- 37:51Speaker 3: Never get into land war in Asia, and never get
- 37:54Speaker 3: into a battle with with a bathilion when.
- 37:56Speaker 4: Death is on the line.
- 37:58Speaker 9: Exactly, yep, exactly. That's Shanahan, and McDonald's like, well, glad
- 38:06Speaker 9: that's over.
- 38:09Speaker 3: Shanahannah's Vezini, correct, and McDonald.
- 38:12Speaker 5: Is Wesley, and you're gonna not be able to think
- 38:14Speaker 5: of anything different now.
- 38:16Speaker 3: I'm glad we got Wesley on our me too.
- 38:18Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 38:19Speaker 3: Yeah, he's also can you know, basically sword fight.
- 38:22Speaker 5: You with either hand, yeah, and climb up a mountain
- 38:24Speaker 5: with one hand.
- 38:25Speaker 2: Yeah.
