- 1:47Speaker 4: insider from the News Tribune, Greg Bell.
- 1:49Speaker 3: Good morning, Greg, Good morning Bucky.
- 1:53Speaker 5: I'm sorry I'm not more Torell Davis. That sounded really cool.
- 1:57Speaker 6: Well, I do love my time with you G.
- 1:59Speaker 1: You know that, But I haven't ever bought war and
- 2:05Speaker 1: cherished a Greg Bell jersey up, not up to this point.
- 2:08Speaker 1: Uh So it was it was different. Meeting an idol
- 2:10Speaker 1: was different. But I still love my time with you G.
- 2:13Speaker 5: But there's an old Greg Bell rams or Buffalo Bill's
- 2:16Speaker 5: jersey or even not name jersey from really Single Single
- 2:19Speaker 5: g running back from the nineteen eighties. Yeah, Terrell Davis,
- 2:24Speaker 5: I was in on that secret last night and I
- 2:27Speaker 5: was pretty excited. And then I thought, you should have
- 2:29Speaker 5: brought a football or a sharpie. I know you're not
- 2:31Speaker 5: supposed to get our grass in the media, but they're
- 2:33Speaker 5: usually pretty wax on that on media rooms.
- 2:36Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we could have pulled up.
- 2:37Speaker 6: We did.
- 2:38Speaker 4: Jessamine did buy a football and then she got cold
- 2:41Speaker 4: feet about asking for an all.
- 2:43Speaker 5: Yeah. Leman is professional to the end, as you should be.
- 2:47Speaker 4: Maybe TD is still around here somewhere. I think Bucky
- 2:50Speaker 4: made an impression on him. I think he's gonna forget
- 2:55Speaker 4: about Hope, so again I might stock him.
- 3:00Speaker 1: H Well.
- 3:01Speaker 4: I think it's great that we're having you on at
- 3:03Speaker 4: different times this week. I mean, yeah, the nine o'clock
- 3:06Speaker 4: audience never gets your reports, and here we sit on
- 3:09Speaker 4: Wednesday of Super Bowl week and we got to find
- 3:11Speaker 4: out the latest and the greatest from our Seahawks insider
- 3:15Speaker 4: Greg Bell. So Mike McDonald, he has several press conferences
- 3:19Speaker 4: this week, but he had one yesterday.
- 3:23Speaker 3: What stood out to you about his comments.
- 3:27Speaker 5: He was asked about the ownership change in the fact
- 3:30Speaker 5: that the Seahawks are going to be on for sale
- 3:33Speaker 5: soon whether spring or soon after Super Bowl at some point,
- 3:37Speaker 5: and he used that question to stump for how great
- 3:41Speaker 5: Jody Allen has been. He has said that during the season,
- 3:44Speaker 5: he said that, even last year when he got here,
- 3:46Speaker 5: But yesterday he described that. He said when he was
- 3:50Speaker 5: a rookie head coach his first season twenty twenty four,
- 3:52Speaker 5: he was in a fog and that Jody Allen provided
- 3:56Speaker 5: the clarity for him and got him through that fog. Basically,
- 4:00Speaker 5: a lot of people in Seattle in the Northwest believe
- 4:03Speaker 5: that Jody Allen as the chair of the team is
- 4:06Speaker 5: pretty detached and just lets the football run football. And
- 4:13Speaker 5: she is certainly less visible than Paul Allen was. Paul
- 4:16Speaker 5: Allen used to be in the locker rooms after games.
- 4:18Speaker 5: He would fly on his airplanes and helicopters do a
- 4:21Speaker 5: boat off shore of a game at Carolina in the
- 4:24Speaker 5: cover game against the Panthers and Charlotte, he was more visible.
- 4:28Speaker 5: He wasn't. He didn't talk to him or quote him,
- 4:30Speaker 5: but we saw him. We'd never see Jody Allen she
- 4:33Speaker 5: comes maybe once twice. I've seen her training camps and
- 4:37Speaker 5: that's about it. But Mike McDonald explained to us last
- 4:40Speaker 5: week back in Rentin they meet every Monday, Jody Allen
- 4:46Speaker 5: and Paul excuse me, Jody Allen, John Schneider, But Mike
- 4:50Speaker 5: McDonald meets with the owner usually by a zoom, the
- 4:53Speaker 5: day after every game, and he said, Mike McDonald said
- 4:57Speaker 5: that Jody Allen is very critical, very incisive, and very
- 5:02Speaker 5: direct with pointed questions about the game the day before
- 5:07Speaker 5: and not always are they good. She criticized them and
- 5:10Speaker 5: see something that stun like. And he says that she
- 5:13Speaker 5: is very piercing questions, is the way he phrased it.
- 5:17Speaker 5: But yes, yesterday he said, Jody Allen has been nothing
- 5:21Speaker 5: but a fantastic steward. And when I was hearing him talk,
- 5:24Speaker 5: he didn't say this, but he sounded a little bit wistful,
- 5:26Speaker 5: like what's going to happen? And I'm going to miss
- 5:30Speaker 5: what I've got right now in ownership if you do
- 5:32Speaker 5: sell the team, and it's going to be a change
- 5:34Speaker 5: for him too.
- 5:35Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously it would be a change. But I mean
- 5:38Speaker 1: for those that this causes worry about, I mean a
- 5:41Speaker 1: change is a change, and they're not always for the better.
- 5:45Speaker 1: But would you say qualm your fears, twelves, whoever comes
- 5:50Speaker 1: in would be silly to make any changes to the
- 5:54Speaker 1: football operations, and therefore things could and should stay status quo.
- 6:00Speaker 5: Yeah, I've said this written as the people who are
- 6:04Speaker 5: rich enough to buy an NFL football team, which are
- 6:07Speaker 5: like twenty people in the world. They're billionaires and they'll
- 6:10Speaker 5: have billionaire friends with them. Carver to have a group
- 6:13Speaker 5: of investors. They're not billionaires because they're just stupid. And
- 6:17Speaker 5: you'd have to be absolutely stupid to change the football
- 6:20Speaker 5: operations of the Seahawks. They're in the Super Bowl. Mike
- 6:23Speaker 5: McDonald's won twenty six of thirty six games. They've had
- 6:26Speaker 5: sixteen years under John schnight of the most six same
- 6:30Speaker 5: sustained success they've ever had, the third Super Bowl of
- 6:33Speaker 5: the four in franchise history under his watch. They dann
- 6:36Speaker 5: well better not change the football operations. And I don't
- 6:38Speaker 5: see anybody.
- 6:40Speaker 7: That's you know, Jody Allen isn't obligated to sell it
- 6:44Speaker 7: to just anybody who offers. She can pick, because she
- 6:47Speaker 7: will pick, and she on behalf of the Paul Island
- 6:50Speaker 7: of State will get to choose who she sells it to,
- 6:54Speaker 7: and if she's these that, there's some yahoos that are
- 6:57Speaker 7: rich billionaires that would want to change the football operations
- 7:00Speaker 7: even if the hell no. Same with people that might
- 7:04Speaker 7: say they wouldn't want the team in the Pacific Northwest,
- 7:06Speaker 7: which there's zero chance of that happening. She didn't have
- 7:09Speaker 7: to sell it to just anybody. So yeah, it's going
- 7:15Speaker 7: to be status quo from a fans perspective. It won't
- 7:18Speaker 7: be status quo for the people who work in that building.
- 7:21Speaker 7: I'm not talking about the locker room first floor. I'm
- 7:24Speaker 7: talking about upstairs and the business side and the marketing
- 7:29Speaker 7: side and all of the things that are the support
- 7:32Speaker 7: side of the football operation. That could change because.
- 7:36Speaker 5: People that are in businesses that make money enough to
- 7:39Speaker 5: buy an NFL team usually have their own people that
- 7:41Speaker 5: do that that could possibly bring too So there definitely
- 7:44Speaker 5: will be changes and ownership changes, but not to the
- 7:48Speaker 5: football side.
- 7:49Speaker 4: Are our inside of Greg Bell joining us at a
- 7:51Speaker 4: special time here today on this Wednesday before the Super Bowl,
- 7:56Speaker 4: normally joins us at seven oh five, but we got
- 7:59Speaker 4: him here at nine o'clock to get the latest information.
- 8:02Speaker 3: As we get ready for Super Sunday.
- 8:06Speaker 4: I've been kicking this topic around a little bit, and
- 8:08Speaker 4: I think I finally arrived at how I want to
- 8:10Speaker 4: ask this question of you. You've been covering this team
- 8:14Speaker 4: for over twenty years, so you were here twenty thirteen
- 8:18Speaker 4: when the Seahawks were returning to the Super Bowl, but
- 8:21Speaker 4: that group under Pete Carroll had not won one yet,
- 8:25Speaker 4: and yet there was this feeling that, man, they got
- 8:28Speaker 4: something special going on there in Seattle. That is a
- 8:32Speaker 4: great young team with a you know, generational defense and
- 8:38Speaker 4: a young rookie, you know, a young franchise quarterback to
- 8:41Speaker 4: build around. As you compare the two, this Mike McDonald
- 8:47Speaker 4: John Schneider version of the Seahawks that's getting ready to
- 8:51Speaker 4: go to the Super Bowl has yet to win one.
- 8:55Speaker 4: What are the similarities between the two teams and what
- 8:58Speaker 4: are the star differences between the two?
- 9:03Speaker 5: Well, the biggest similarity is that they're both young. The
- 9:06Speaker 5: Seahawks are the third youngest team. As they weigh it
- 9:09Speaker 5: by snaps, the number of young players who played the
- 9:12Speaker 5: most snaps, the Seahawks are the youngest team, the third
- 9:15Speaker 5: youngest team, just behind the Packers who are the youngest.
- 9:18Speaker 5: So that's the way. That's exactly how Pete Carroll rebuilt
- 9:24Speaker 5: their defense. They're led by their defense. They have a
- 9:26Speaker 5: defensive first head coach. That's also how the Seahawks were
- 9:30Speaker 5: built under Pete Carroll and the Legion of Boom, the
- 9:32Speaker 5: opposite ends of the coaching spectrum. Carol, of course, seventy
- 9:35Speaker 5: plus years old at the end of his career, and
- 9:37Speaker 5: Mike McDonald the youngest coach in the NFL when he
- 9:40Speaker 5: got hired at thirty six at the start of his
- 9:42Speaker 5: But they built the same way from the defense first.
- 9:45Speaker 5: They hit big on the draft. This year's draft even
- 9:48Speaker 5: Worry Gray's Abel, even Tory Horton before he got injured,
- 9:52Speaker 5: compared to the Legion of Boom and Richard Sherman in
- 9:55Speaker 5: the fifth round and camp Chanson in the fifth round
- 9:57Speaker 5: and Russell Wilson a third round. Those are the similarities.
- 10:01Speaker 5: The differences are as I've said, on the field, they
- 10:05Speaker 5: play now much more multiple, varied and tricky and disguising
- 10:09Speaker 5: on defense McDonald does than Pete Carroll did. Carroll is
- 10:13Speaker 5: just four to three cover three. We're lining up. We're
- 10:15Speaker 5: not changing. You know what we're in. You know what
- 10:17Speaker 5: our scheme is because our Jimmis and Joes are better
- 10:20Speaker 5: than your ex'es and o's. That's the biggest difference that
- 10:22Speaker 5: I see every Super Bowl team. Chuck thinks, man, we're
- 10:27Speaker 5: gonna be here forever, right, We're being back there next
- 10:29Speaker 5: year next every the Raiders that covered in two thousand
- 10:32Speaker 5: and two, even though they were really old at rich
- 10:34Speaker 5: Gannon and Garner and Bryce and Brown, they all thought
- 10:38Speaker 5: that and they won four and twelve the next year.
- 10:41Speaker 5: The league is the league is parodied with free agency,
- 10:45Speaker 5: the salary cap, in the draft order, and the scheduling
- 10:48Speaker 5: to keep teams from coming back, right. They want different
- 10:52Speaker 5: teams in every year. Some different fans get fired up,
- 10:54Speaker 5: different teams get motivated, and different interests in markets. It's
- 11:00Speaker 5: hard to do once, it's doubly triply hard to do twice.
- 11:05Speaker 5: So as well as they're so young, and Mike McDonald's
- 11:08Speaker 5: so young, and they have the number one defense in
- 11:10Speaker 5: the league and a quarterback that's only twenty eight years old,
- 11:12Speaker 5: and all the cap space they have next year, third
- 11:14Speaker 5: most of the league. I pumped the brakes on saying
- 11:18Speaker 5: we're going to be back here next year, because it's
- 11:21Speaker 5: pretty damn hard to do twice. Let alone once.
- 11:24Speaker 6: Yeah, well, yeah, that's really well said.
- 11:26Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean you get that target on your back,
- 11:29Speaker 1: everything becomes exponentially more difficult, and it's difficult to without
- 11:33Speaker 1: the target on your back. I mean, what say you about?
- 11:37Speaker 1: This could possibly be the first ever defensive head obviously
- 11:43Speaker 1: a defensive minded coach, but he calls the defensive plays
- 11:46Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl. When I heard that, that
- 11:49Speaker 1: seemed outlandish to me and yet understandably. So how do
- 11:53Speaker 1: they figure out a way to where he can do
- 11:56Speaker 1: that and still basically have all the responsibility of the
- 11:59Speaker 1: head coach as well?
- 12:00Speaker 5: Oh, our buddy, my friend and predecessor Newster being Mike
- 12:05Speaker 5: Sando is the one who first trumpeted out and came
- 12:08Speaker 5: up with that and been talking about that down here.
- 12:11Speaker 5: It is difficult, and some criticized McDonald for not having
- 12:16Speaker 5: some awareness in game situations clock management because of that,
- 12:24Speaker 5: because he's moving on to the next play, or he's
- 12:27Speaker 5: looking at his play sheet, or he's barking into the
- 12:30Speaker 5: helmet speaker of Ernest Jones the next play call before
- 12:33Speaker 5: the play clockers gets to fifteen and the speaker shuts up.
- 12:36Speaker 5: So and then when the offense is on the field,
- 12:40Speaker 5: he's preparing in his mind for what the defense is
- 12:42Speaker 5: going to do for the next series of what adjustments
- 12:44Speaker 5: he needs to make on what he just saw. Other
- 12:47Speaker 5: coaches that allow the coordinators to call the plays can
- 12:50Speaker 5: be more overarching in the play calling. Mike Vrabel, for
- 12:54Speaker 5: the instance, for the Patriots is that way he lets
- 12:56Speaker 5: his community as coordinators make the calls. So Vrabel has
- 13:01Speaker 5: the ability. I was reading the story yesterday that one
- 13:04Speaker 5: of the New England writers wrote the thing was a
- 13:05Speaker 5: New England writer, Boston writer about how Mike Vrabel was
- 13:09Speaker 5: able to massage and use and tweak the game clock
- 13:12Speaker 5: with substitutions in the AFC Championship game against Denver because
- 13:17Speaker 5: he wasn't calling plays. And when Denver the rule of
- 13:20Speaker 5: course is at the offense substitute, the defense allowed to
- 13:23Speaker 5: substitute as well, and the umpire stands over the ball
- 13:25Speaker 5: and leads the play clock out while the defense subjecte well,
- 13:31Speaker 5: the defense when they substitute like that, they just walk
- 13:33Speaker 5: off the field. They take their time, especially at the
- 13:35Speaker 5: end of a play clock, and that caused an interception
- 13:39Speaker 5: by Stidham in the AFC title game on a rushed overthrow.
- 13:45Speaker 5: So that's something McDonald doesn't have the luxury doing now.
- 13:48Speaker 5: He has Brian Ayres up in the press box advising
- 13:51Speaker 5: him to like take three time outs at midfield against
- 13:53Speaker 5: the Colts mid left when nobody else in the league
- 13:56Speaker 5: would have done that. And McDonald's smart enough to listen
- 13:59Speaker 5: to his guys on the head that's to do it.
- 14:01Speaker 5: But the defensive play calling and how intricately he is
- 14:04Speaker 5: involved in it does come at a practical cost in
- 14:07Speaker 5: some ways.
- 14:08Speaker 4: Greg Bell are Seahawks insider with us right here on
- 14:11Speaker 4: Chuck and Buck in the Morning Live from Radio Row. Well,
- 14:13Speaker 4: let's talk about some specific things about the game coming
- 14:16Speaker 4: up on Sunday.
- 14:18Speaker 3: Significant, insignificant.
- 14:20Speaker 4: So where does the Chaz Sarat being activated to the
- 14:24Speaker 4: special teams group rank in terms of importance for this
- 14:29Speaker 4: game on Sunday.
- 14:31Speaker 5: I don't think huge, because the Seahawks special teams have
- 14:34Speaker 5: been really good even without him playing since the end
- 14:36Speaker 5: of November. But he is a great special teams player, blocking, tackling,
- 14:42Speaker 5: done it in his higher career with the Jets. Mostly
- 14:47Speaker 5: that it will only help. I think good gets better
- 14:50Speaker 5: in the Seahawks Special teams is one of the best
- 14:52Speaker 5: parts of the Sea. The Seahawks have two decisive advantages
- 14:54Speaker 5: in the Super Bowl to me, their defense against the
- 14:58Speaker 5: Patriots offense and special teams. And if you're a better,
- 15:02Speaker 5: far superior to me in two of the three facets
- 15:05Speaker 5: of the game, you're gonna win. That's where I think
- 15:07Speaker 5: the Seattle's advantage. People forget about the special teams. Just
- 15:10Speaker 5: ask people in the Seahawks locker room about Michael Dixon
- 15:14Speaker 5: and his punts. The special teams are a big, big
- 15:17Speaker 5: part of this game, and the Seahawks are a huge
- 15:18Speaker 5: advantage of it.
- 15:20Speaker 1: Adds to that, could that possibly lead to maybe an
- 15:24Speaker 1: unsung hero in in this game?
- 15:27Speaker 6: I think, Chuck, I think, didn't you throw out.
- 15:31Speaker 4: Told me he's gonna have a huge game before this
- 15:33Speaker 4: season comes to a close, And I think it's in
- 15:36Speaker 4: the supermol.
- 15:37Speaker 1: There'd been another big game because he had one couple
- 15:39Speaker 1: of weeks ago too. Would would you think he could
- 15:42Speaker 1: possibly be the unsung hero because of maybe what he
- 15:45Speaker 1: does in special teams?
- 15:47Speaker 5: Well, they sing him in the Seahawks locker room. He's
- 15:50Speaker 5: not unsung in there. The way he slipfields changed field
- 15:53Speaker 5: positions one game, they would not I still say this,
- 15:57Speaker 5: They would not have won a division which means they
- 15:59Speaker 5: would not have had home payoff games. They wouldn't have
- 16:01Speaker 5: had the first nun by. They would have had to
- 16:02Speaker 5: gone the Rams route through Carolina, through Chicago, through San
- 16:06Speaker 5: Francisco or La had Rashid Si he not returned that
- 16:10Speaker 5: punt for a touchdown with ten minutes left when they
- 16:12Speaker 5: were down sixteen to the Rams in December, that changed everything.
- 16:16Speaker 5: And sure they may have won three road playoff games
- 16:19Speaker 5: still being the Super Bowl, but boy did they take
- 16:22Speaker 5: the better route. And that was because of Rashid Shaheed.
- 16:26Speaker 5: I've talked to some neat Weaver State people about him
- 16:29Speaker 5: and him about his love for Weaver State and how
- 16:32Speaker 5: it got him here. Going to write a story onuting
- 16:34Speaker 5: about him unsung might be charitable because he is really
- 16:40Speaker 5: revered for what he's done in this half season. Inside
- 16:44Speaker 5: that locker room, he's playing the last game of his contract.
- 16:46Speaker 5: They're going to resign him. He's a big, big deal.
- 16:49Speaker 4: Greg Bell with us here on this Friday, just days
- 16:53Speaker 4: before Super Bowl sixty. And if you know Greg and
- 16:56Speaker 4: his writing, it's more than about football. It's also about family, friends, community, love,
- 17:04Speaker 4: and you wrap that into one giant story yesterday about
- 17:09Speaker 4: Ernest Jones tell us about the connection that you made
- 17:12Speaker 4: with our linebacker yesterday.
- 17:16Speaker 5: Well, this was from the heart. This was not an
- 17:19Speaker 5: easy story to write, but one I really wanted to.
- 17:23Speaker 5: Ernest Jones and I have been talking since the summer,
- 17:25Speaker 5: since his father passed away, actually before that, in the spring,
- 17:29Speaker 5: when his father was filled with a rare farm of
- 17:33Speaker 5: cancer doing sarcoma. He was fifty three years old when
- 17:37Speaker 5: he died. I can't even imagine that. I'm fifty five.
- 17:42Speaker 5: I can't imagine. My kids helped me go through that.
- 17:44Speaker 5: I lost my father in March, and Ernest Jones and
- 17:48Speaker 5: I talked about that back in July before his father
- 17:51Speaker 5: passed away. The end of July he passed away. He
- 17:53Speaker 5: went away for twelve days and middle of training camp.
- 17:56Speaker 5: He came back at the funeral and we talked again.
- 18:00Speaker 5: I remembered that, and yesterday I was asking him question.
- 18:04Speaker 5: I hated to ask him in that setting because a
- 18:07Speaker 5: press conference with a bunch of foo saskin showing him
- 18:11Speaker 5: highlights of basketball video, dunks and just it's such an
- 18:15Speaker 5: odd tableau. It's not the place to talk about what
- 18:17Speaker 5: I wanted to talk. But that was my only chance
- 18:19Speaker 5: to talk to He is preparing for the Super Bowl.
- 18:21Speaker 5: It's not like we're going to go down to Starbucks
- 18:23Speaker 5: and hang out for a couple of hours and talk.
- 18:26Speaker 5: So we talked about it and I went up. Actually,
- 18:30Speaker 5: Ian Farnessa's producer Andrews called me right when his Jones's
- 18:35Speaker 5: availability was ending, and the phone rang. I was going
- 18:39Speaker 5: right away with Ian. But I really wanted to say
- 18:43Speaker 5: I was sorry to Jones for bringing it up in
- 18:45Speaker 5: that setting about his father, and I asked him in
- 18:48Speaker 5: the in the interview of the podium, just to confirm
- 18:53Speaker 5: you got there before your father died. Right those of
- 18:57Speaker 5: us listening that have lost their fathers and parents, how
- 19:01Speaker 5: important that is. I left the combine, I dropped everything
- 19:04Speaker 5: in Indianapolis and drove to Detroit to see my father
- 19:07Speaker 5: pass away. And I never forget that, and it was
- 19:11Speaker 5: so important to me to be there, especially because I
- 19:14Speaker 5: live across the country. Ernest Jones lives in Seattle now
- 19:16Speaker 5: with his young family, nineteen month old, with his son
- 19:20Speaker 5: and a wife. But his family and his father was
- 19:23Speaker 5: in a way cross Georgia, and he got home in
- 19:26Speaker 5: time to see his father pass away. And I wanted
- 19:30Speaker 5: to say to Ernest Jones, I was really sorry for
- 19:32Speaker 5: bringing that up in that setting. So I got on
- 19:35Speaker 5: the phone with Ian. I started talking and we're having
- 19:37Speaker 5: an interview live on the radio. And then Jones walked
- 19:40Speaker 5: by me in the middle room and I just put
- 19:42Speaker 5: the phone down, and I walked up to Ernest Jones
- 19:44Speaker 5: and said, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ask it
- 19:46Speaker 5: in that setting, but I didn't know. When I get
- 19:47Speaker 5: to talk to again, he said, gee, we're cool. He said,
- 19:51Speaker 5: I remember, He says, you know, I remember. You know
- 19:55Speaker 5: we've talked about this. He gave me a big hug
- 19:57Speaker 5: in the center of the convention for and then we're
- 20:00Speaker 5: supposed to go back on the live radio. I couldn't
- 20:04Speaker 5: even seize straight for Ian, and that interview is terrible.
- 20:07Speaker 5: But these people are people there. I've said this of goodness.
- 20:13Speaker 5: We all lot them for their how great they are
- 20:16Speaker 5: at football. He gets paid thirty three million dollars because
- 20:20Speaker 5: of how good he is. But he's a person like
- 20:22Speaker 5: you and me and you that are driving to work
- 20:25Speaker 5: right now. He has a father, he has a mother,
- 20:29Speaker 5: he has kids, he has a wife. He has the
- 20:32Speaker 5: things in life we all have, and we all experience
- 20:36Speaker 5: shared experiences. It's hard to be because of their widgets
- 20:39Speaker 5: and their fantasy football players, and people just bet on
- 20:42Speaker 5: them and we forget that they're people too. And that
- 20:46Speaker 5: was trying to convey that in my story to the
- 20:48Speaker 5: News Tribune right now, And thanks for bringing that up,
- 20:51Speaker 5: just because that was important for me. I guess it's
- 20:54Speaker 5: a little closure for myself to write that, but great
- 20:57Speaker 5: on Ernest John's I appreciated him for doing that.
- 21:00Speaker 3: Yeah, And so it is so strange.
- 21:02Speaker 4: I mean, when you don't have the personal connection like
- 21:06Speaker 4: Ernest Jones the RAM, you just looked at him as, man,
- 21:09Speaker 4: this guy's a pain in our ass, and you just
- 21:12Speaker 4: kind of assume like he's probably a jerk in real life.
- 21:16Speaker 4: Since he's become a seahawksusly, I don't want to imagine
- 21:20Speaker 4: this team without him on it, you know, going forward,
- 21:22Speaker 4: Like he has just checked every box that you want
- 21:25Speaker 4: to see out of a professional athlete. I mean, I've
- 21:28Speaker 4: just become such a big fan of him since he's
- 21:31Speaker 4: come over to the Seahawks, and I never knew the
- 21:33Speaker 4: layers to Ernest Jones, and man have we seen them.
- 21:37Speaker 4: You've seen them up close and personal. I mean you've
- 21:39Speaker 4: written about him. I've lived it through your writing to
- 21:42Speaker 4: see the layers to Ernest Jones and what makes them
- 21:45Speaker 4: so special.
- 21:46Speaker 3: It's been pretty cool.
- 21:47Speaker 5: Well, thank you, Cheg. And he wants to retire here.
- 21:50Speaker 5: He's only twenty six years old. He wants could I
- 21:54Speaker 5: don't know if he wants to, but he could play
- 21:55Speaker 5: another ten years plause. And he wants them all to
- 21:57Speaker 5: be in Seattle. He loves it here here with his
- 22:00Speaker 5: family and young son. He is he is quite quite
- 22:05Speaker 5: an interesting person.
- 22:07Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, Greg, Well, thanks for making time for
- 22:09Speaker 4: us today, and then we'll do roundtable tomorrow.

- 24:32Speaker 3: Okay, so we'll ramp up.
- 24:34Speaker 1: If it continues to get better as it has to date,
- 24:38Speaker 1: I am coloring me very surprised but yet intrigued and excited.
- 24:42Speaker 4: And then by Friday it'll be him Elway, Davis and
- 24:46Speaker 4: Mark Schlareth riding a triple bicycle just in a loop.
- 24:51Speaker 1: Around here, man and then feeding me some of us
- 24:55Speaker 1: like the stinks his chili.
- 24:59Speaker 3: It's the let's not get too carried away.
- 25:01Speaker 6: That's silly.
- 25:02Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the triple handom bike is not silly, but
- 25:07Speaker 1: them feeding me customary.
- 25:09Speaker 3: But you're making it, you're trying to get something out
- 25:11Speaker 3: of it.
- 25:11Speaker 6: That's just rude.
- 25:12Speaker 1: If yeah, yeah, you're right, I just got to shake
- 25:15Speaker 1: his hand. Yeah, stop there. I mean, if it's gonna
- 25:18Speaker 1: get better, let's get it better.
- 25:20Speaker 6: Right.
- 25:20Speaker 4: I'm just saying there, yeah that you never know that,
- 25:22Speaker 4: You just never know what's gonna happen at Radio Row.
- 25:26Speaker 4: So all sorts of people flying on Michael Irvin standing
- 25:29Speaker 4: right in front of us.
- 25:30Speaker 3: Yeah, still in playing condition.
- 25:32Speaker 6: Look at that case. That's gotta be nice.
- 25:34Speaker 4: That's the playmaker right there. So Michael Irvin, he's getting
- 25:39Speaker 4: ready to sit down with some people right over there,
- 25:41Speaker 4: just making sure he doesn't want to sit down with
- 25:43Speaker 4: us before we change conversations here. All right, So let's
- 25:47Speaker 4: talk about the coaches in this game, because man, these
- 25:51Speaker 4: two dudes need to be high lighted. And it starts
- 25:56Speaker 4: with our own coach in his second year is Seahawks
- 25:59Speaker 4: head coach, that genius himself, Mike McDonald, And he was
- 26:03Speaker 4: asked yesterday about his now famous defense.
- 26:07Speaker 8: I think, I think, I think our defense is taking
- 26:10Speaker 8: a turn when we when we became more connected. And
- 26:14Speaker 8: it's not easy to do that. Like last year, we
- 26:16Speaker 8: were going through some adversity in the middle beginning to
- 26:18Speaker 8: the middle of the part of the year, and it
- 26:19Speaker 8: takes a leap of faith to really buy in and
- 26:21Speaker 8: stick to the process of what we're trying to achieve.
- 26:23Speaker 8: And I'm thinking of a meeting we had and actually,
- 26:27Speaker 8: ironically enough, going into our San Francisco game here last year,
- 26:31Speaker 8: and we just made it. We made a kind of
- 26:32Speaker 8: a pack with each other, like we're gonna be a
- 26:33Speaker 8: great defense no matter what it takes. And they bought
- 26:35Speaker 8: in and and it didn't happen overnight. Excuse me, but
- 26:40Speaker 8: that's the type of stuff in the dedication. It takes
- 26:42Speaker 8: moving in the same direction to actually make this thing
- 26:44Speaker 8: come to life. So and of course, I mean, you
- 26:47Speaker 8: got to you gotta stop people, you got to keep
- 26:48Speaker 8: points off the board, you gotta control field position, you
- 26:51Speaker 8: gotta affect quarterbacks. All those things are really important to
- 26:54Speaker 8: win football games.
- 26:56Speaker 4: Yeah, he's brought it to life, all right, as this
- 26:58Speaker 4: has turned into already to the highest rated defense and
- 27:02Speaker 4: the National Football League fewest points allowed during the course
- 27:05Speaker 4: of the season. And this was sort of beforetold I
- 27:10Speaker 4: mean Hugh Millen when Mike McDonald was first hired, he
- 27:13Speaker 4: went down the list of what happens with Mike McDonald's
- 27:17Speaker 4: defenses no matter.
- 27:18Speaker 3: Where he goes.
- 27:19Speaker 4: Takes a little while to get adjusted to the complexities
- 27:21Speaker 4: of it, and then usually you start to see it
- 27:24Speaker 4: really start to have its impact within the first year
- 27:28Speaker 4: and then by the second year, it's the best thing
- 27:31Speaker 4: out there, and it happened again this year, and so
- 27:34Speaker 4: he's pulled it off here in Seattle as the head
- 27:37Speaker 4: coach of things.
- 27:39Speaker 3: And my goodness, does the future look bright with this
- 27:42Speaker 3: young man.
- 27:42Speaker 6: At the helm? Yeah? Well yeah, I mean it looks great.
- 27:45Speaker 1: And yet you know, Greg was just talking about how
- 27:49Speaker 1: you've got to continue doing it right but right now,
- 27:51Speaker 1: I mean, first and foremost I think was it Hugh
- 27:54Speaker 1: that was breaking down what he had done, and you
- 27:56Speaker 1: had mentioned it at Michigan. And then how he, like
- 27:59Speaker 1: you just said, the second year, it starts to take
- 28:01Speaker 1: hold and next thing you know, it's it's dominant and
- 28:04Speaker 1: winning national championships. Now all of a sudden, it's two
- 28:07Speaker 1: years into this thing. It looks like he's on the
- 28:09Speaker 1: verge of possibly winning a Super Bowl. How you continue
- 28:12Speaker 1: to adapt and evolve when everyone has you have the
- 28:15Speaker 1: target on your back and everyone is now thinking the
- 28:18Speaker 1: way that basically people have had to think about Sean
- 28:20Speaker 1: mcvay's offense and Kyle Shanahan's offense, and Okay, we have
- 28:23Speaker 1: to go out and figure out a way to combat
- 28:25Speaker 1: this thing. That's where they're gonna find themselves after this,
- 28:29Speaker 1: if they can win this Super Bowl and find themselves
- 28:31Speaker 1: probably on the on the cusp of trying to become
- 28:33Speaker 1: a dynasty.
- 28:34Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 28:34Speaker 4: I mean, there's some great matchups within this game, no
- 28:38Speaker 4: doubt about the quarterback matchups.
- 28:40Speaker 3: Very interesting.
- 28:41Speaker 4: But you know, similar stories both first, you know, first
- 28:46Speaker 4: round draft picks, highly drafted out of college, but obviously
- 28:49Speaker 4: Drake may had instant success or damn near instant success
- 28:53Speaker 4: in the National Football League, where Sam's.
- 28:54Speaker 3: Path of this game has been completely different. And and
- 28:58Speaker 3: then you got the wide receivers.
- 28:59Speaker 4: I mean, they've got the veteran Stefan Diggs on the
- 29:02Speaker 4: tail end of his career and you know, brought to
- 29:04Speaker 4: tears trying as he gets to his first Super Bowl.
- 29:07Speaker 4: All those years he was close with the Buffalo Bills
- 29:10Speaker 4: and even all the way back to the Minnesota Vikings.
- 29:12Speaker 3: Versus JSN, who is just sort of taken.
- 29:15Speaker 4: The world by storm and now people wonder if he's
- 29:18Speaker 4: already the best wide receiver. So there are some similarities,
- 29:21Speaker 4: but there's also some major differences. But I'm going to
- 29:24Speaker 4: tell you this, I don't think there's a better matchup
- 29:26Speaker 4: wide receiver versus wide receiver quarterback versus quarterback, pass rush
- 29:29Speaker 4: versus offensive line.
- 29:31Speaker 3: I don't think there's a better matchup than the head
- 29:33Speaker 3: coaching matchup. I think it's the.
- 29:34Speaker 4: Most interesting thing about this I think it's the most
- 29:36Speaker 4: runaway success stories in this game.
- 29:39Speaker 3: You have two guys that were not just home run.
- 29:43Speaker 4: Highers, they were Grand Slam hires. Mike Rabel goes from
- 29:47Speaker 4: four to thirteen to the super Bowl in one year,
- 29:50Speaker 4: turned around, culture turned around, you know, using pretty much
- 29:53Speaker 4: the same ingredients.
- 29:55Speaker 3: I mean, they got a boost from.
- 29:56Speaker 4: They were able to spend a lot on free agency
- 29:58Speaker 4: this past offseason. But then Mike McDonald, he took one
- 30:02Speaker 4: of the more difficult things to do in the national
- 30:04Speaker 4: football They say it all the time. It's the reason
- 30:06Speaker 4: Mike Tomlin just got fired. It's the reason John Hardball
- 30:09Speaker 4: is not still the Baltimore Ravens. They felt that they
- 30:12Speaker 4: were slipping into mediocrity. And he comes in here with
- 30:15Speaker 4: a team that also was sort of on that same path.
- 30:17Speaker 4: I mean, the Seahawks were awfully nine and eightish, you know,
- 30:22Speaker 4: eight and nineish for the last few years of Pete Carroll.
- 30:27Speaker 4: He comes in and now John Schneider hit on a
- 30:30Speaker 4: lot of his picks but he rolls in here and
- 30:34Speaker 4: I'm gonna get you to the super Bowl and the
- 30:35Speaker 4: second year, I mean not just not just home run highers,
- 30:39Speaker 4: grand slam hires. And even though they're both defensive minded
- 30:44Speaker 4: head coaches, really different within that realm. Like McDonald is
- 30:50Speaker 4: the defensive strategy genius, I don't know if Rabel really
- 30:54Speaker 4: gets described that way, but what he is is clubhouse genius.
- 30:57Speaker 4: He is the I was everybody's favorite teammate when I played,
- 31:01Speaker 4: and now I have brought that with all the wisdom
- 31:04Speaker 4: that I've collected over the years on how to manage players,
- 31:08Speaker 4: Taken all of the bits that I like from Bill
- 31:10Speaker 4: Belichick and every other coach that I had, and I've
- 31:13Speaker 4: pouring them into everything I've learned, including my time with
- 31:17Speaker 4: the Tennessee Titans as head coach where I got fired,
- 31:20Speaker 4: And he's poured all of that in.
- 31:22Speaker 3: So it's like the culture that they've.
- 31:24Speaker 4: Built and the and and even though Rabel's not really
- 31:28Speaker 4: considered the defensive genius that Mike McDonald is, he is
- 31:32Speaker 4: a defensive minded head coach who might just be Bucky
- 31:35Speaker 4: a clubhouse genius as a head coach.
- 31:38Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's a perfect way of putting it,
- 31:40Speaker 1: and there's there is room for that. I mean, I
- 31:43Speaker 1: Mike McDonald comes in with the moniker of a genius
- 31:47Speaker 1: and people think about that as the where he's been.
- 31:50Speaker 1: It didn't matter as a defensive coordinator, the defense became
- 31:54Speaker 1: one of the best. So it's his scheme, the way
- 31:57Speaker 1: in which he makes he teaches his guys to play
- 31:59Speaker 1: defense under his you know, his program, the way in
- 32:03Speaker 1: which he wants it done. It turns out to be
- 32:05Speaker 1: one of the best, if not the best, in whatever
- 32:07Speaker 1: league it is.
- 32:08Speaker 6: He's doing it in now as a.
- 32:10Speaker 1: Head coach, in just not even one full year, he
- 32:13Speaker 1: started kind of getting the feel for while He's got
- 32:16Speaker 1: an idea about the chemistry too, and how to relay
- 32:19Speaker 1: that to get everybody to trust and buy into it.
- 32:21Speaker 1: So now all of a sudden, it's this is a mastermind,
- 32:24Speaker 1: you know, masterclass Rabel. On the other hand, I mean,
- 32:27Speaker 1: people want to, you know, knock Belichick because he didn't
- 32:30Speaker 1: win after Tom Brady left.
- 32:32Speaker 6: Whatever.
- 32:33Speaker 1: I'm gonna still give him all the credit that he deserves.
- 32:35Speaker 1: He still ended up he had a dynasty. He was
- 32:38Speaker 1: the mastermind behind the whole thing. He's the one that
- 32:41Speaker 1: had Tom Brady not searching for other places to go
- 32:45Speaker 1: for a majority of his time, even though he was
- 32:47Speaker 1: maybe hard knows the way in which he did it.
- 32:49Speaker 1: I think Mike Rabel being a captain of that team
- 32:54Speaker 1: took everything from him. I mean, there probably isn't one
- 32:58Speaker 1: lesson that he was taught over all of his time
- 33:00Speaker 1: there with Bill Belichick that he doesn't then employ or
- 33:04Speaker 1: if it has some sort of tinkering or adjustment to it,
- 33:06Speaker 1: he's putting that into his And so it's kind of
- 33:09Speaker 1: like two different classes, you know. It's like, you know,
- 33:12Speaker 1: Mike McDonald's like that star freshman, you know on the
- 33:15Speaker 1: football team, that's a star. And then you got the senior,
- 33:18Speaker 1: the captain that he's been there, he's done that, he's
- 33:20Speaker 1: showing it. And yet it's all coming to Fruition and
- 33:23Speaker 1: they're going to clash heads on Sunday. It's gonna be
- 33:25Speaker 1: interesting for sure. But yeah, two home runs. What a
- 33:28Speaker 1: tremendous matchup.
- 33:29Speaker 4: And then to top it all off, Brabile as the
- 33:32Speaker 4: line of the entire week.
- 33:33Speaker 3: Here at the Super Bowl.
- 33:35Speaker 4: He was asked if he would remove his member to
- 33:39Speaker 4: win a Super Bowl as head coach for the New
- 33:41Speaker 4: England Patriots, and he goes.
- 33:43Speaker 3: I'd probably cut it in half, and then he said,
- 33:49Speaker 3: leave it at six.
- 33:50Speaker 1: A wow, good comeback, sir, good come back.
- 33:58Speaker 6: Asking a lot to take the thing.
- 34:00Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll cut it in half, but it seemed better if.
- 34:02Speaker 1: You can make it funny. By due, I'll abbreviate it
- 34:05Speaker 1: to six.
- 34:06Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll cut it in half. Leave her at six.
- 34:11Speaker 6: That's good, all right.
- 34:12Speaker 4: One last thing to close out the day, Sports Radio
- 34:14Speaker 4: ninety three point three KJRFM. All right, by the little
- 34:24Speaker 4: segment of this humpday edition, super Bowl Week chucking back

- 35:34Speaker 6: Oh is it?
- 35:34Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 35:35Speaker 4: I don't think I was inserting the correct iambic pentameter,
- 35:41Speaker 4: okay in my vocal passage.
- 35:42Speaker 6: Well that's all right, Yeah, I know you figured it out.
- 35:45Speaker 3: Now I've figured it out.
- 35:46Speaker 6: Going on, There is.
- 35:47Speaker 4: A lot going on, all right, So we have time
- 35:50Speaker 4: for one last thing. So of all this stuff going on,
- 35:53Speaker 4: pick one thing.
- 35:54Speaker 3: Out there, Bucky.
- 35:55Speaker 1: Thank you you, Ashley, Jessman. Greg Bell apparently was in
- 36:00Speaker 1: on the surprise.
- 36:02Speaker 3: Thank you guys, Jessamine and Ashley were arranged at all.
- 36:05Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you, Ashley, Thank you Jessemin. I don't
- 36:10Speaker 1: I don't know for sure if I've ever been starstruck,
- 36:12Speaker 1: to be honest, I mean I don't. I just don't
- 36:14Speaker 1: think of humans as being better than other humans. They
- 36:18Speaker 1: do better, do certain things better than other than other humans.
- 36:22Speaker 1: But I don't think that. I don't usually think about that.
- 36:26Speaker 1: Now Terrell Davis is just it's different. I don't know
- 36:28Speaker 1: what it is about. There's some about the way in
- 36:32Speaker 1: which he did things. You you know me well enough
- 36:34Speaker 1: after eight nine years of doing this.
- 36:36Speaker 3: That he's got way about him.
- 36:38Speaker 1: Yes, I'm not gonna sing. I don't think we need
- 36:42Speaker 1: to sing. I don't think he needs to be serenaded.
- 36:43Speaker 1: This is just I mean, he would score a touchdown
- 36:46Speaker 1: and he would do the mile high salute to the fans.
- 36:49Speaker 1: He's there's a humility about him that he can't exudes,
- 36:53Speaker 1: and he carries it even to this day.
- 36:55Speaker 4: But needs a hero in the middle of the radio row.
- 37:03Speaker 1: Okay, so I was used my one last thing to
- 37:06Speaker 1: say thank you to Jessmon and Ashley and you, and
- 37:09Speaker 1: now you're rowing it.
- 37:12Speaker 9: We give Ashley like full blown credit for the surprise.
- 37:16Speaker 1: That is all Ashley.
- 37:17Speaker 3: I feel.
- 37:20Speaker 4: I did spend a little bit of time yesterday going
- 37:22Speaker 4: why won't she just tell me this TBD?
- 37:24Speaker 3: Because I'd forgotten that we were doing this.
- 37:27Speaker 4: Why do I have to keep sending follow up emails
- 37:29Speaker 4: to find out who the freaking guests are on the show,
- 37:32Speaker 4: and I'm like, all right, well, for what it's worth,
- 37:35Speaker 4: I had no idea TV.
- 37:37Speaker 6: It was a surprise.
- 37:38Speaker 4: TBD did not stand for two and determine Terrell Davis, Oh,
- 37:43Speaker 4: Terrell Bucky Davis Davis.
- 37:46Speaker 3: That was almost too close.
- 37:49Speaker 6: I wouldn't have picked up on it.
- 37:51Speaker 1: You guys have to realize that would mean I pay
- 37:53Speaker 1: attention to those texts.
- 37:54Speaker 3: That's true. Be hero, Bucky, stop it.
- 37:58Speaker 6: You need to stop.
- 38:00Speaker 1: And by the way, and whoever else is coming up
- 38:04Speaker 1: with the AI generated him and me in his arms
- 38:08Speaker 1: and him in my arms, stop doing that. It's taking
- 38:12Speaker 1: away from it. It is what it is. I don't
- 38:15Speaker 1: need an autograph. I shook his hand. He said he
- 38:18Speaker 1: would run for three thousand yards if he was running
- 38:20Speaker 1: behind me. Somebody said that might be him saying you
- 38:23Speaker 1: should be his full back might be the biggest compliment.
- 38:25Speaker 6: I don't think he was meaning I would be his
- 38:27Speaker 6: full back.
- 38:28Speaker 3: Oh no, you're bigger than Yeah. I think you meant
- 38:31Speaker 3: a larger than Marshall Aureth.
- 38:33Speaker 6: Yeah, Laith, yeah.
- 38:35Speaker 1: I am I am not small, but yeah quite quite
- 38:39Speaker 1: the compliment to hear from my favorite running back of
- 38:41Speaker 1: all time.
- 38:42Speaker 6: There you go.
- 38:43Speaker 3: Well good, thank you, you go.
- 38:44Speaker 6: Thanks that you lifted him up.
- 38:47Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and let's go ahead and keep it going.
- 38:50Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 38:52Speaker 3: You mean the singing.
- 38:54Speaker 1: No, no, no, I didn't mean to singing. I meant
- 38:56Speaker 1: more people that I idolized. Let me meet them and
- 38:59Speaker 1: talk to them.
- 39:00Speaker 3: Yeah, that makes sense. You lift me up?
- 39:04Speaker 1: No not a sing no, no, no, singing is not
- 39:07Speaker 1: anymore tomorrow it at all?
- 39:11Speaker 3: You know loves my singing? Hugh, Yeah, Ash, tell you
- 39:14Speaker 3: what your one last thing?
- 39:16Speaker 9: Well, you know, we had Brady Quinn on to kick
- 39:18Speaker 9: off the show, and funny enough, I was listening to
- 39:21Speaker 9: Two Pros and a Cup of Joe on my way
- 39:22Speaker 9: into work this morning and Brady said, well, one of
- 39:25Speaker 9: the most important things I think ever. And you guys
- 39:30Speaker 9: didn't hear it, obviously because you were at Radio Row,
- 39:31Speaker 9: so you didn't bring it up. But I thought i'd
- 39:33Speaker 9: play it for you just for validation.
- 39:37Speaker 4: Give us a solution for the Pro Bowl, Like I
- 39:39Speaker 4: don't know if you watched any of that last time.
- 39:41Speaker 4: Just okay, but they got to do something and replace
- 39:45Speaker 4: of that, don't they.
- 39:46Speaker 6: No, I don't care yeah.
- 39:47Speaker 10: I know what all what else is the problem? Patros?
- 39:50Speaker 10: You like me, have an affinity for the Greater Loha Stadium.
- 39:53Speaker 10: Yeah okay, once they took it out of there, it
- 39:56Speaker 10: was a damn shame and it ruined the entire sport.
- 40:00Speaker 4: I say once once you couldn't get the plot of
- 40:03Speaker 4: Blue Crush anymore.
- 40:05Speaker 6: Yeah, what a good movie the NFL was.
- 40:08Speaker 3: What a good movie? Did you hear that?
- 40:11Speaker 9: That's what he said at the end, What a good movie?
- 40:13Speaker 3: And I liked that Brady Quinn even though he played
- 40:19Speaker 3: for the enemy. It's all right there. I like Zach Scharmon.
- 40:22Speaker 3: You're on the same Blue Crush team.
- 40:24Speaker 9: Yeah, you know what, you gotta find your commonalities.
- 40:26Speaker 1: I think it was really being serious that it was
- 40:28Speaker 1: a good movie.
- 40:28Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it is a great movie. You're on a
- 40:30Speaker 3: Kate Bosworth team together.
- 40:31Speaker 4: If we like to call her in the Seattle the Bosh.
- 40:34Speaker 3: That nickname has ever been used before someone else?
- 40:38Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 40:39Speaker 3: No, you think so?
- 40:41Speaker 6: Yeah, that's pretty sure?
- 40:42Speaker 1: Pretty sure that that's sunglasses?
- 40:45Speaker 6: Uh yes, uh yeah, it's weird.
- 40:48Speaker 3: Invented the mullet works? Okay, top did he invent the mullet?
- 40:53Speaker 3: Wasn't the designs in the side.
- 40:55Speaker 9: It was more of a Yeah, he invented I think
- 40:57Speaker 9: the designs in the side of it.
- 40:59Speaker 4: Yes, but but he also it was short on top
- 41:03Speaker 4: and then he grew it long in the back.
- 41:04Speaker 3: I mean it was at least the starter kit to
- 41:07Speaker 3: the Mullet agreed.
- 41:10Speaker 4: I'll put influential college football players of all time bos
- 41:13Speaker 4: where it's on the in the Heisman consideration.
- 41:16Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm telling you that right now.
- 41:17Speaker 6: A big deal.
- 41:18Speaker 3: Yeah, and is even bigger deal.
- 41:20Speaker 1: So he got ran over by bo Jackson, and she's
- 41:23Speaker 1: never been run over by bo Jackson, so one is
- 41:26Speaker 1: a better boss.
- 41:27Speaker 3: Yeah, I think exactly.
- 41:28Speaker 9: She she wouldn't ever allow him to run her over.
- 41:30Speaker 3: I'll just use my one last thing a little promotion.
- 41:32Speaker 4: Bo Jackson is going to be on the Softy and
- 41:36Speaker 4: Dick radio program this week.
- 41:38Speaker 3: That's right, bo Nos Softie Big Friday Friday. Yeah, I
- 41:41Speaker 3: think he's going to be.
- 41:42Speaker 6: On with him.
- 41:43Speaker 3: How about that?
- 41:43Speaker 4: That is a big deal. Yeah, and maybe we can
- 41:45Speaker 4: get him to run over Kate Boswer, But then all
- 41:48Speaker 4: Boses can get run over by bo Jacks.
- 41:50Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be more fun to just have him run
- 41:52Speaker 1: over Softy?
- 41:54Speaker 3: Nope, I want to see him blow up Kate bos.
- 41:57Speaker 1: Oh man, Oh, there goes the sequel.
