Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
One two point five kz okay, time for kicking it

(00:06):
with John.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Ryan's Seahawks legend, John Ryan, what's on your mind?

Speaker 1 (00:10):
This week?

Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Mariners are alone in first place as eleven year
season Kate Holder in diehard fan. In previous years, at
this point I would start saying, oh, just wait, it'll
turn ugly because we've all been burned so many times
before this year, you know what, I'm done being cautious.
I'm done protecting my heart this season. I'm throwing logic
out the window and diving head first into Mariner's mania.

(00:33):
Are they going to break my heart? Probably? Have they
mastered the art of raising expectations just to crust them
in a slow soul tipping September or often much sooner. Yeah,
oh absolutely, But not this year. Nope. I'm letting my
guard down. I'm believing every win assigned from the baseball gods,
every extra base hits literal prophecy. I've got playoff brackets

(00:57):
scribbled on napkins. I'm googling parade route and how to
try respectfully on live television. I'm worrying my Mariner's cap
like it's a crown and shouting World Series babies in
me like a complete lunatic, because this year, I'm not
waiting for the other street to drop. I'm throwing both
my shoes into the Puget Sound and running barefoot into

(01:18):
the warm embrace of false hope. Go Ems hurt me later,
but for now I'm all in.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Go ms. That was kicking it with John Ryan
