Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Okay, it's time for kicking it with former Seahawks punter
John Ryan.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Seahawks legend John Ryan, tell us what's on your mind
this week? I want to talk about each Ro Suzuki
and his amazing Hall of Fame speech. It was humble,
it was moving, and of course it was hilarious and
the most each Ro way ever. Calling out the one
ridiculous reporter who didn't vote him into the Hall of
Fame was one of the funniest parts in my opinion.
But what I like the most is how he spoke
about the way he respected the game of baseball. He

(00:29):
talked about caring for his glove so he would never
commit an error because of his glove not being in
proper shape. He talked about taking proper care of his
spike so they would never fall on the bass path
because of a dirty spike. He talked about his respects
to the fans and how he would never start boxing
up with Glucker before the very last game of the
season because he'd give one hundred percent effort to the end.
This is why I love each Ro so much, because

(00:50):
there was a number of years going to the games
that by late July he already knew the Mariners weren't
going to the playoffs, but you knew to despite that,
every time you went to a game, you're gonna see
this something special out of number fifty one, game one
or game one sixty two. You're getting the exact same
each row, every game. Thank you, each row for the hits,
the hustle, and reminding us of what greatness really looked like.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
Thank you for kicking it with Sean Ryan on one
oh two point five kg. Okay,
