Speaker 1 (00:01):
Going text us if you're listening right now, text us
to four nine four five one.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
If you still don't have power?
Speaker 1 (00:07):
All right, I want to get kind of a feel
for how many people in the audience still don't have power.
You got up the text line you got power at
your place, Jackson in Tacoma, you got power at your place,
Dick in Normandy Park.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Do now, but only like a two two hours ago?
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (00:20):
And do the do the wives panic when the power
goes out?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Right?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Like I've always told my wife, I think of it
as almost kind of a challenge, right, like back in
the day when you played boor games and you read
books and you conversed and things like that, when the
internet goes out, the TV can't be turned on, the
power's out, and you huddle around the campfire and roast
a couple of marshmallows and snuggle up and have actual conversation.
(00:45):
I kind of look at it as a bit of
a challenge my wife, though not at all the exact
freaking opposite from me when the power goes out. So
how about you, guys, Dick does does your wife lose
her mind when the power goes out?
Speaker 4 (00:56):
I'm with you. I kind of like it when these
things happen. Wife does not, and I had a little
episode what I thought was going to be little boy
who cried wolf last night, or in the case of
a wife that cried wolf last night, when I was
on the phone driving home from the from the station
and she was freaking out. She was like, there's limbs
falling on the house, the powers out, I'm scared, blah
(01:17):
blah blah. I was like, Okay, we're good, We're good.
And then literally thirty seconds after I said we're good,
I hear on the phone this massive crash and she
just goes, we just got it, we just got it,
and she's freaking in. She was right, and you saw
the picture on Twitter. We got hit last night by
a big.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Old hemlock to It's different though, when a tree hits
your house. I can understand anybody panicking when a tree
hits your house.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Well, she was panicking far before the tree hit the house.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Reason to tread the general idea that people lose their
minds when the power goes out its rise of the
same way, we're.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
The opposite, because I'm the one. I had shows I
wanted to watch last night. I had a whole line
of boxes off of the show list. She was the
one who's like she had the candles. She's like, I'm
so looking forward to this.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
We like that. We're just hanging out romance. Man.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
No, I need to watch my shows, and thankfully we
did listen.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I only get laid when the power goes out, dude.
Outside of that, I'm not nothing.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Man.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
So I'm on every three I'm like, exactly what, you
turn off the power for crying out loud so.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I can get some Uh No, I I love it.
I think it's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
But I think it's one of those things where it
sounds fun for like the first maybe four or five hours.
Then you're like, all right, I'm kind of done. Right,
I'm done. Everything in the fridge is going bad. I'm
getting pissed off, the wife's getting annoyed, I'm getting angry.
Nothing works. I gotta leave, like go to the library,
or I got to go to some hotality he was
their WiFi or whatever. Four hours there's no hot water.
(02:43):
More than that, No, you know, I got to take
a cold shower, which, by the way, one thing about me,
you guys don't know. I am a total whoss when
it comes to taking a cold shower, I just can't
do it. I cannot do it like me and Hugh,
not that we talk about this kind of thing, but
he's on the exact opposite spectrum of me. He loves
ice cold showers. I love scalding hot showers. I will
(03:04):
turn that water as hot as I can get it
every single time. So I am an absolute baby when
I can't get hot water. Man, I just tend to
freak out. So four or five hours is fine, but
after that I've had enough.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I watched that show.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Maybe Jackson watches it because he is the boss of
all things TV with Chris.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Which one's store Chris Hemsworth, Yes, right, correct?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
And he did, you know, he wanted to get into
this fantastic shape, and he did all these weird things
like swimming in the Arctic and all that sort of stuff.
And he says, I'm I'm gonna take cold showers, freezing
cold showers.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Every single morning.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
I was like, you know what, I'll try that one
time and it lasts terrible twenty seconds and I was like, Chris, suck,
I'm not doing it anymore. I'm never gonna look like
you anyway. So why should I have to take cold shower.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
So maybe we should appreciate the fact that we have power.
Maybe we should appreciate the fact that we have hot water.
Maybe we should appreciate the fact that we have a
roof over our head and internet access and TV shows
to and a heater to turn on when things aren't
going well. Maybe we should all shut the hell up
about this crap we complain about here on the air.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I mean, we're like, oh God, Will Rogers is terrible,
Gino Smith sucks.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
What the hell meantime? The guy down the streets eating
bugs for crying out loud. Honestly, I mean we are
we're hashtag blessed. If we can go on the air
and bitch about this stuff, then we are hashtag blessed.
But if anybody from Puget Sound Energy wants to call
the radio show, because everyone's got the same problem right now,
right and we're getting just tons of texts right now,
no power, have power, don't have power. My neighbor has power,
(04:31):
and I'm pissed off. No power here in Monroe, but
I have a generator show.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I'm fine. I live in Maple Valley. It's like a
war zone down here.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
No anything closest to anything close to the foothills.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Just got well, if anybody from PSC wants to jump
on and talk to us, we'd love to have you.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
So just to give us a call.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
All right, here's what we're gonna do in today is

Kevin Harlan coming up, Petros coming up a little You

Speaker 2 (05:37):
We'll let you.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
You can hang out with Mike Florio and beer. By
the way, Mike Florio joined us right now.
Speaker 6 (05:43):
It's time for a weekly conversation with Pro Football Talks
Mike Florio, brought to you by simplea Seattle tired of
buying and repping the same old Seattle sports gear everyone
else has. For the best Storm Seahawks, Mariners, Kraken Rainiers, Sounders,
and not to mention, the largest sonics collection in the world.
Old check out simply Seattle dot Com. That was Mike Florio.
(06:04):
Here's Softie and Dick.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
All right, boys and girls, back here on a Wednesday.
Chance to talk to the really, I would say, the
leader in all aspects of the NFL Press Corps, the
undisputed heavyweight champion of all NFL media, and the leader
and the founder of Pro Football Talk dot Com from
the NFL and NBC.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
It's our friend, Mike Florio. How are you pel?
Speaker 7 (06:26):
You know, I know you're just being polite when you
say that, but every time you say that, it bolsters
my case for a long overdue race.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Well, listen, we are trying to find Jackson a new job,
and we're not gonna let him go until we know
he has something planned on the back end so soon.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Nobody wants him, so he's just staying here.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
As soon as we can find Jackson a gig, You're
getting your raise. I promise you.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
I would give it until Christmas, even if he doesn't
have another job by that. I would fire him on Christmas.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Fine, I'd find Christmas day. How about that? Give him
some damn hope.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Hey, the bless us everyone.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
The modern era semi finalists for the Hall of Fame
have been announced, and Earl Thomas is on the list
of former Seahawk and I look, I know we've talked
about your thoughts on the Hall of Fame before, but
let's let's put those aside for a second. Does does
Earl Thomas strike you? Does he strike you as a
Hall of Fame player in your mind?
Speaker 7 (07:18):
Not persvallid, But what.
Speaker 8 (07:19):
The hell do I know?
Speaker 7 (07:20):
I don't have a vote.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I don't want to vote.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
I wouldn't take a vote if they tried to give
me one. It is an enormous time drain Charen Williams
from PFT is involved in that, and a few times
a year she ends up being tied up for a
whole day. I can't sit still long enough to listen
to a bunch of other media people bloviate. Now, if
I'm the one bloviating, that's fine, but I don't want
anyone else to be bloviating, so I'm not interested. It
(07:45):
seems like maybe he gets in at some point. I
don't know. I'd have to do the research. I have
to look at number of all pros. I'd have to
hear the k sport. Is he up there with Troy
Polamalo and Ed Reid? I don't know. I don't Things
kind of fizzle out for him pretty dramatically. Once he
lost the fastball, he really lost it. Does he have
the longevity? I just have to look into it, because
(08:05):
I really don't care about it.
Speaker 8 (08:06):
I haven't looked into it.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Yeah, I get it, Mike.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
What level of panics should the league have that the
next Netflix servers won't be able to handle Christmas Day
games after what we saw with the Tyson fight.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
Well, I don't know that panic is the right word,
because they're in a position to avoid panic. They're in
a position to ensure that whatever it was that went
wrong on Friday night won't go wrong five weeks from
today when it's Chiefs at Steelers and Ravens at Texans. So,
as Brian Rolapped ahead of NFL media said today at
(08:41):
an event in New York, basically, it's good that it
happened now and that this fight was scheduled what it
was for a reason. Remember, originally was going to happen
in July. So they get it done five and a
half weeks before the arrival of the Christmas Games, and
they can diagnose the problem. They can throw enough money
I had it to fix it, and you trust that
they have the expertise to make it happen. But I
(09:03):
don't know, is the second time they've had a live
stream debacle. They had that what is that one of
their reality dating shows. They were doing a reunion and
big live event and it was a complete and total mess.
So we'll see, we'll see, but it was definitely a
mess on Friday. The video was grainy. I was buffering
at one point it crashed. Now once the fight started,
(09:26):
it was generally okay, which was bad because I really
didn't want to see the fight. The moment that I
saw the physique of Mike Tyson, I realized this was
a mistake and watching it, even though I was kind
of rooting for Mike Tyson despite his off the ring history,
it was a nostage of play for those of us
who came of age in the eighties when Mike Tomlins
(09:47):
just pounding the crap out of everyone. But it was
boring and beyond the technical realities of it. I wish
I had that half hour in my life.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
That Mike Florio's with us on the radio. Sho Joe,
who always wishes he has this ten minutes of his
life back. He spends with us every Wednesday here at
three ten Pacific time. But Mike, the Jets fired Joe
Douglas six weeks after they fire Robert Sala. Now they
need a head coach and a GM. What does that
mean for Aaron Rodgers' future there?
Speaker 7 (10:16):
Well, you know it's funny because he said just last
week he thinks he wants to continue to play next year.
And one of the points I made, there's no guarantee
the Jets are going to want you. We already knew
at the time there's going to be a new coach.
We were suspecting there'd be a change in GM, although
Joe Douglass hell the job. Put together a pretty talented team,
so talented that Woody Johnson said when he fired Robert Sala,
(10:37):
this is the most talented team in the twenty five
years I've owned the Jets. But now they've got clean slate.
I don't think Aaron Rodgers is going to be back.
And the fact that Woody Johnson suggested benching him after
a Week four loss to the Broncos, and I've confirmed that,
and I know there's different interpretations out there he was joking.
I mean, I don't know where the punchline is if
that was a joke. But regardless, there's an audience of
(11:00):
one Aaron Rodgers. What does he think about this?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Joe?
Speaker 7 (11:02):
What does he think about whether or not Woody Johnson
actually wanted or suggested benching Aaron Rodgers. I just think
come the end of the season, there will not be
a continuation. The question I have, at what point between
now and Week eighteen does Aaron Rodgers say, you know what,
I am so banged up from a variety of injuries.
I'm just not going to force myself to play through it.
(11:24):
We're not playing for anything, and if my owner is
going to have these thoughts about me that I never
knew about until it was leaked to the media, I
just don't want to play.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Talk to me about a couple of NFC East quarterback situations,
and why the Giants are starting Tommy DeVito and not
their backup Drew Locke to replace Daniel Jones, And the
same question with the Cowboys, why do we have Rush
starting instead of Trey Lance Because isn't that the exact
opportunity you would want to give a Trey Lance too
if you were the Cowboys.
Speaker 7 (11:54):
Well, first, as to the Giant situation, and you know,
football fans hear this statement as much as wrestling fans
wanted to hear before everybody acknowledged that it's fake, that
it's fake. I remember when I was a kid and
my dad would tell me it's all fake. I would
get mad at him. I didn't want to hear that.
I kind of knew it deep down. I didn't want
(12:15):
to hear it. Football is a business, and fans don't
want to hear that. They think that every team is
trying to win every game in pursuit of every Super
Bowl championship, and it's all about the purity of competition,
and business considerations have nothing to do with it. Well,
two separate business considerations came together here. Number one, Daniel
Jones is a contract with twenty three million in injury
guarantees that will be owed to him next year, and
(12:38):
they can't cut him while he's still injured, and eleven
million of it becomes vested in March, So if he
has an injury over the balance of the season that
prevents him a passing of physical by marks, the eleven
million is gone. The other twelve million. If he's not
able to pass the physical by the start of the
regular season, that's gone. So we're done with him. We're
going to cut him after the season. We'd put him
in bubble wrap, just like the US did last year
(13:00):
with Russell Wilson, although earlier in the calendar than that.
And then they ignore the depth chart. They skip over
the number two, the guy who was still number two
through the game before the bye week. They didn't demote
Drew Locke for Tommy DeVito, but they got four home
games left. It's a lost season. Let's give rip people
(13:21):
what they want, and those folks in New Jersey, they
want Tommy Gabba gul out there and they want him
doing the hand yester and they want the whole production.
And that's what this is all about. Playing and simple.
This is about business. This is about saving twenty three
millions and trying to squeeze some more cash out of
a lost season with the veto out there doing Tommy
(13:41):
DeVito things. And along the way they get an evaluation
of them to decide whether or not he's the guy
they want to go with next year. But I don't
think he is because they saw enough last year and
he was still number three on the depth chart.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Jim Harboss said Justin Herbert, it's one of the best
quarterbacks of all time. He also said JJ McCarthy was
the best Michigan quarterback of all time.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Is this just him pumping his own guys up and being.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
A great leader for his quarterback or does he actually
have a case on Justin Herbert.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
Very few quarterbacks have the natural personality where they walk
into the room and everybody stops what they're doing. Tom Brady,
Peyton Manning. Not many guys are natural born leaders like that,
And a coach explained to me several years ago. When
a guy isn't naturally the guy, when he's not naturally
(14:29):
the sheriff who just takes over every circumstance he's in,
you have to treat him that way so others view
him that way. If people aren't going to naturally view
him that way, you need to talk everyone else into
thinking that it's true. That's part of the game. That's
how you prop a guy up. And you know, I
don't know what the Lions did to press the buttons
(14:51):
on Jared Goff to get him to play like the
best quarterback in football. They didn't do a lot of
it publicly. But every coach is different, and every style
is differ and Hardball style is to overtly cheerlead for
his quarterback and sing his praises, and whoever plays quarterbacks
for him is going to be loyal and he's going
to listen to him and is going to feel a
(15:13):
connection because he knows that his coach is going to
be out there every single day telling anyone who'll listen,
and plenty who don't care how great this guy is.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
Mike is the pendulum now swinging from running backs are
a dime a dozen now to running backs might be
kind of important because of what Joe Mixon, Derrick Henry,
and Sakuon Barkley are doing with their new teams.
Speaker 7 (15:35):
Well, I think both things can be true. Running Backs
who can move the chains, score touchdowns, generate a thousand yards.
Those guys are everywhere, And that dawned on me twenty
years ago. We used to go to the West Virginian
games every weekend, and I realized over the course of time,
you know what, every year, we got a guy who
can play in the NFL. If you block for him,
(15:56):
if you can trust him to hold on to the football,
and if he can handle blitz, he can play in
the NFL.
Speaker 8 (16:02):
And those guys are everywhere.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
Supply out ways as a man. But the list of
truly special running backs is short, and if you have
one of those guys, you can't treat him like the
other guys. That's what the Giants did with Barkley, It's
what the Titans did with Derrick Henry, It's what the
Bengals did with Joe Mixon. And add to Henry and Mixon,
I think part of it also was they're getting toward
the end of their useful life. We can't make this
(16:25):
financial investment and guys are about to fall apart.
Speaker 8 (16:27):
And it's also possible that all.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
Three guys are rejuvenated because their original team didn't want them.
We're all motivated by various things, real and perceived, but
each of those three guys can have this legitimate idea that,
you know what, I was disrespected, I wasn't wanted, and
I'm going to go out there and I'm going to
(16:48):
prove to everyone that I can still do it. And
that may be why all three of them are having
such great years.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
All right, Mike, before you go, music to your ears.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Last question, Cardinals coming to town Sunday, Hawks coming off
win in San Francisco, Cardinals in first place, Hawks a
game back. How good is this Cardinal football team? Honestly
that we'll see on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I think they're better than anyone thinks.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
And what happens is a team develops a reputation. That
reputation gets attached to their overall look, to their uniforms,
everything about them, and it takes a while for people
to accept that they're good.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Now.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
I think the Bengals went through that. You know, there
are teams over the years that have kind of risen
up and become competitive, and we can't get our brains
to accept it. And I think the NFL is currently
in the process of forcing itself to accept the fact that, Hey,
the Bengals are pretty the Bengals. The Cardinals are pretty
good right now because they are Kyler Murray comeback Player
(17:44):
of the Year, possible MVP depending upon where they go
from here. They only have a one game lead over
the rest of the division. But they're not a team
to look down, you know that anymore? And they had been,
you know, for most of the last six or seven years.
Even though they made to the playoffs in twenty twenty one,
they weren't competitive against the Rams in that wild card game.
So they need to be taken seriously. And this is
(18:06):
a fascinating decision a division. We tried to break it
down on PFC Love yesterday. Who finishes fourth, third, second? First,
I've got it, Rams first, Seahawks second, Cardinals third, No, Rams, Cardinals,
Seahawks sorry, and then the forty nine ers in fourth.
But who knows? Who knows? They're all bunched together. It's
going to be fun to watch over the next seven
is there seven weeks least what week is it? Twell?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Yep? Seven games left?
Speaker 7 (18:28):
Twelve yep, damn seven games lest This season has rocketed
by I can't I really, I don't know what dat is.
I don't know what we get it. I think I
know what year it is, but I don't want to
get some guts wrong.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Well, by the way, we're getting multiple texts about job
offers for Jackson, so you might be inch and closer
to getting that race. We'll have an update for you
next week. All right, yeah, all right, man, good stuff
we'll talking about. But Mike Florial with us on the
radio show. Jackson were kidding, by the way, but don't
tell me that. I mean he actually thinks he's getting
fired to give him a raise. I'm telling you, thank you, jack.
(19:00):
I don't know what you guys would do without.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
Me, so.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Not get yelled at is what we do. We'll get
a break.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
So check it out.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Doctor Henry pelto Cracking Team Physician Team Physician with the
MS will join us as well at three forty five
and talk about what's going on behind the scenes with
Hockey Fights Cancer Month with the Cracking. So you guys
heard that Earl Thomas is a same semi finalist for
the Hall of Fame. I asked Mike Florio about that.
When you hear the name Earl Thomas, Deck Jackson, do
(20:06):
we think Hall of Fame when we think about the
name Earl Thomas.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Yeah, that's funny. I mean you asked me that question
in twenty seventeen. I would I just say yes in
a second, right, And now it's twenty twenty four, and
like he's done a bunch of crazy stuff since then,
so you kind of have to go back and say, well,
wait a second, he was basically the best free safety
in the NFL for a half of a decade, right,
(20:31):
And my kind of delineation for baseball and basketball is
were you the best at your position for a decade
or or right there, one of the best at your
position for a decade? Football, you gotta kind of have
to put cut that in half, right, because football players
other than quarterbacks. I mean, five years is a long
time in the NFL to be elite. So yes, I
think it's a long way of saying yes, I still
(20:53):
think Earl Thomas is a Hall of Fame or that
being said.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
He's not a first ballot You got to wait his turn.
I mean, he's not an autom man right away.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Right yeah, Jackson, how about you?
Speaker 5 (21:02):
I think he's just pulow the line. I think what's
funny is, I think is the line of making it
versus not making it. If we set that bar, I
think the distance that they're away from it is the
same for Felix Fernandez and Earl Thomas. I think Earl Thomas, though,
is below that line, and I think Felix is above
that line. But for both of them, it's very close.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Earl Thomas was a three time first team All Pro,
five time first team or second team, seven time Pro bowler,
and was on the twenty tens All Decade Team. So,
just for reference, the two guys that were on the
two thousands All Decade Team or Brian Dawkins and Ed Reid,
and both those guys are in the Hall of Fame.
The difference is Ed Reid led the league in interceptions
three times. Earl Thomas never did that. Ed Reid was
(21:43):
a first teamer All excuse me, AP All Pro five times,
and he was a first or second team player eight times.
So you can't just look at one All Decade team
and say, well, that guy's in, So the next All
Decade team has.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Got to be in.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
But I do think that being on the All Decade Team,
I mean, Dick your point about were you the best
at your position for a considerable amount of time. Earl
Thomas is one of three safeties on the twenty tens
All Decade Team.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Yeah, And to Jackson's point, I honestly I haven't flipped Jackson.
I mean I think Earl Thomas was a bet. Now
Felix had the longevity more than Earl Thomas did, but
that's also baseball. I just think Earl Thomas was a
better free safety than Felix was a pitcher.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
I mean, I think he's just gotten more accolades at
his position than Felix has gotten.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
I mean, Felix says what softy two cy Young's and
how many Star Games?
Speaker 3 (22:35):
And he was second one year.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Think I think cy Young would would correlate directly to
like defensive player of the Year, and Earl doesn't have that.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Yeah, no he doesn't, he doesn't. And Felix safety's ever
win defensive players.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
I think Ed Reid may have won it one year.
Did Edid win one year? He may have won it?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Polamalu, Ronnie Lott, guys like that, you know, back in
the day. But I mean, look, I mean Felix finished
first or second three times in the siding a war,
and we all know he would have won more if
he had a damn offense, right, I mean, we all
know those people voting on wins and losses things like that.
But I'm curious, No, Homer all right, put down the
freaking twelve jersey, put down the you know, the seahawk
(23:12):
colored glasses.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Earl Thomas. Does he belong eventually in the Hall of Fame? Yes?
Speaker 5 (23:16):
Or no?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
To four nine, four to five to one. Factor Fiction
right now, where's.

Hang on, Hey, I don't see Hey Andrews, did you
update the Factor fiction list? I don't see anything oh

Speaker 2 (24:33):
Maybe it's just me. Maybe they're cutting me out.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
It is because I see it updated.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Okay, I'm not seeing anything, all right, Dick, what do

They're bowing out Russell Wilson, Dick. Even when Russell Wilson
doesn't play well, Pickens is just there like it's a
giant security blanket for that guy. It's unbelievable how many
great catches he's making. And Russell Wilson's playing for a
brand new contract next ye, dude, I'm hearing forty five
to fifty million bucks for Russell Wilson next season, plus

Speaker 1 (28:28):
So make a play for your health with Virginia Mason
Franciscan Health by getting screened joining us right now on
the radio show. He was so good last year we
invited him back again to join us on the air.
Our friend from the Crack and the Mariners. Doctor Henry Pelto,
Doctor Pelto.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
How are you, Saftie?
Speaker 8 (28:44):
I'm tigulous, are you?
Speaker 2 (28:46):
We're good man? Good to give it back on the show.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
And first of all, thanks for all you guys are
doing over there, and let's just talk about this fight.
And every year I kind of ask you the same question.
How much closer are we today than we were at
this time a year ago to maybe kind of beating
this thing and getting out of cancer forever.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
Yeah, I think, as we talked before, it's a continual
process of improvement for everybody from a screening perspective, which
is a lot what we're talking about with the Virginiason
Franciscan Health today, and then the treatments and the evaluation
and all that stuff just continues to grow and evolve
and get more specific to individual types of cancers and
individual people with cancers, family history, real specific cell based therapies,
(29:29):
things like that are It's just so exciting. It's just
a great area of medicine and something that we're just
going to keep kind of pushing forward as a community
to save lives and make this thing something that people
just don't have to deal with it don't have to
worry about or able to really treat effectively as we
move forward.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Well, doctor, it's good to have you back on again.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
And I guess for me, you know, I'm fifty years
old now I kind of need like the rule of
thumb on when to get you know, how often to
get screened. What am I supposed to get screened for?
I mean, I want to get screened, and it's just
a matter of knowing when and how often.
Speaker 8 (30:04):
Yeah, I think it's a really good point. I think,
you know, one of the most important pieces of this
relationship with the primary care doctor and having that annual visit,
especially as we get you know, not younger, as we
move forward and get into our forties, fifties and beyond,
that's really when we start to see the importance of
screening come up. And your point is really well taken.
We want kind of the check mark or checkbox and
(30:25):
what do I get at this age and we have
some of that cancer If you don't have a history
of rust to cancer and your family, fifty is really
the year we start to encourage people to get a
PSA and get that check. That said, if you have
family history or other risk factors, and that you know,
moves a little bit younger. We want to get to
check sooner. You know a lot of people probably know
we used to say fifty to get a colonoscopy. That's
(30:48):
moved down to forty five now, and that can go
even lower if you have a family history or other
risk factors that would have us move sooner. So you
kind of in the forty to fifty ranges when we
really want to start thinking about these things unless you
have a history of people of cancer in your family
much younger, which like I said before, is and even
more even an ensue for an even younger ages. But
(31:09):
having that conversation every year with your doctors just sorry,
here's where I am. Sometimes we learn new things about
family members year to year. Making sure we're checking in
and running that list with them every year is a
really important piece of cancer screening and you get the
stuff you need the eighths that you need it and
stay as safe as possible.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Well Doctor Henry pelto with Hockey Fights Cancer Month, and
we're teaming up today to raise money for Virginia Mason
Franciscan Health with some pretty awesome auction items on the website.
You can bet on a Zamboni ride. Lower Bowl seats
to the January twenty third game against the Capitals. Tickets
to go see John Legends Christmas at CPA. Tickets for
the Ottawa game coming up obviously on the seventeenth of December,
(31:47):
of the February game against Toronto, and doctor, I'm just
curious about signs. I mean, you mentioned conoscopy, and I've
had mine, Dix had his, obviously, I'm fifty two years
old almost, But are there signs for some of the
older people that we can look for. I think I
told you last time he around with us that my
dad passed away a couple of years ago from lymphoma
in his brain. And there was a day where I
went over there. He was just tired. He just couldn't
(32:08):
wake him up. I think it's just exhausted, whatever, no
big deal. Are are there signs that people should be
looking for that says, hey, you got to go find
out right away if this is a cancer situation.
Speaker 8 (32:20):
Yeah, it's I'm I'm so sorry about your dad again.
I remember that really well. And a hard part about
a lot of cancers is there aren't at least early
on but this but some some there certainly are so
we you know, we're talking a lot about prostate cancer
this year with the PSA available even to the game
tonight for hockey fights cancer. You know, if you have
(32:40):
noticed that urine changing your year, and blood in your
urine going more frequently at night, changing the stream, this
can all be very normal age related things that those
can also be signs of cancer. Similar types of things
with bow cancer, colon cancer, blood in your stool, changing frequency,
frequency consistency, and these things can come with diet and
(33:02):
just normal aging that kind of stuff. But again back
to our conversation about having a good relationship with your doctors,
get those things checked out. If there's a delta change
from what your normal is, have a conversation, see what
they think about that. Do we need to do some evaluation,
lab works imaging that kind of stuff to rule out
cancer amongst other things. And it's important to check in
(33:23):
when things are shifting and changing from what your typical is.
And those are a few for prostate and colon certainly
self exams and checking for lumps and for breast cancer,
things like that are really important to check and then
you talk to your doc. Just the good rules thumbs
things are shifting, get a hold of them, have a conversation,
and see what we need to do to keep you
healthy for a long time.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Finally, for me, I know there was a problem for
a long time. Maybe there still is.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
You can tell me of especially men being like I
don't need to get checked out, I don't need to
go to the doctor. Are you seeing men these days
more willing to go to the doctor and get screened
than they were when you started your practice.
Speaker 8 (34:00):
Yeah, I think so. I think it's my experience has
been that way. I don't know if that's as widespread
as we would like it to be, but I think
things like hockey fights cancer and having our young athletes
out there saying hey, get this stuff checked and producing
some of the stigma around it, I think it's true.
And mental health, I think it's true. And more general
health too is when we struggle, we have issues, we
need to watch out for each other, and we got
(34:21):
to encourage each other to get to the doctor, get
checked regularly, or if anything moves or shifts. As we know,
sometimes things just get too far and it's too late,
And if we would have stepped in a little bit sooner,
said something to our brothers said something to our best Bud.
I think you can share that. It's going to back
and forth and make sure taking care of each other
and encouraging those kind of interventions. We're all going to
(34:42):
be better for it. So talk to your friends, talk
to your family. Let's take care of each other.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Yeah, don't be afraid to talk about it for sure,
Doctor Pelto Hey, great stuff, man, keep up the good
work and we will talk down the road.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Man, Thank you for doing this. Appreciate it.
Speaker 8 (34:55):
Thanks guys, thanks for doing this all today.
Speaker 9 (34:56):
We really appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
It's our pleasure. Hockey Fights Cancer Months again. Get to
the website ninety three three k j R F m
KJR dot com excuse me, and you can find some
pretty cool auction items on there as well to bid

gonna break Petro's gonna join us Kevin Hardin at five
Petros coming next on ninety three three kJ R FM
Going text us if you're listening right now, text us
to four nine four five one.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
If you still don't have power?
Speaker 1 (00:07):
All right, I want to get kind of a feel
for how many people in the audience still don't have power.
You got up the text line you got power at
your place, Jackson in Tacoma, you got power at your place,
Dick in Normandy Park.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Do now, but only like a two two hours ago?
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (00:20):
And do the do the wives panic when the power
goes out?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Right?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Like I've always told my wife, I think of it
as almost kind of a challenge, right, like back in
the day when you played boor games and you read
books and you conversed and things like that, when the
internet goes out, the TV can't be turned on, the
power's out, and you huddle around the campfire and roast
a couple of marshmallows and snuggle up and have actual conversation.
(00:45):
I kind of look at it as a bit of
a challenge my wife, though not at all the exact
freaking opposite from me when the power goes out. So
how about you, guys, Dick does does your wife lose
her mind when the power goes out?
Speaker 4 (00:56):
I'm with you. I kind of like it when these
things happen. Wife does not, and I had a little
episode what I thought was going to be little boy
who cried wolf last night, or in the case of
a wife that cried wolf last night, when I was
on the phone driving home from the from the station
and she was freaking out. She was like, there's limbs
falling on the house, the powers out, I'm scared, blah
(01:17):
blah blah. I was like, Okay, we're good, We're good.
And then literally thirty seconds after I said we're good,
I hear on the phone this massive crash and she
just goes, we just got it, we just got it,
and she's freaking in. She was right, and you saw
the picture on Twitter. We got hit last night by
a big.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Old hemlock to It's different though, when a tree hits
your house. I can understand anybody panicking when a tree
hits your house.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Well, she was panicking far before the tree hit the house.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Reason to tread the general idea that people lose their
minds when the power goes out its rise of the
same way, we're.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
The opposite, because I'm the one. I had shows I
wanted to watch last night. I had a whole line
of boxes off of the show list. She was the
one who's like she had the candles. She's like, I'm
so looking forward to this.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
We like that. We're just hanging out romance. Man.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
No, I need to watch my shows, and thankfully we
did listen.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I only get laid when the power goes out, dude.
Outside of that, I'm not nothing.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Man.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
So I'm on every three I'm like, exactly what, you
turn off the power for crying out loud so.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I can get some Uh No, I I love it.
I think it's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
But I think it's one of those things where it
sounds fun for like the first maybe four or five hours.
Then you're like, all right, I'm kind of done. Right,
I'm done. Everything in the fridge is going bad. I'm
getting pissed off, the wife's getting annoyed, I'm getting angry.
Nothing works. I gotta leave, like go to the library,
or I got to go to some hotality he was
their WiFi or whatever. Four hours there's no hot water.
(02:43):
More than that, No, you know, I got to take
a cold shower, which, by the way, one thing about me,
you guys don't know. I am a total whoss when
it comes to taking a cold shower, I just can't
do it. I cannot do it like me and Hugh,
not that we talk about this kind of thing, but
he's on the exact opposite spectrum of me. He loves
ice cold showers. I love scalding hot showers. I will
(03:04):
turn that water as hot as I can get it
every single time. So I am an absolute baby when
I can't get hot water. Man, I just tend to
freak out. So four or five hours is fine, but
after that I've had enough.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I watched that show.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Maybe Jackson watches it because he is the boss of
all things TV with Chris.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Which one's store Chris Hemsworth, Yes, right, correct?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
And he did, you know, he wanted to get into
this fantastic shape, and he did all these weird things
like swimming in the Arctic and all that sort of stuff.
And he says, I'm I'm gonna take cold showers, freezing
cold showers.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Every single morning.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
I was like, you know what, I'll try that one
time and it lasts terrible twenty seconds and I was like, Chris, suck,
I'm not doing it anymore. I'm never gonna look like
you anyway. So why should I have to take cold shower.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
So maybe we should appreciate the fact that we have power.
Maybe we should appreciate the fact that we have hot water.
Maybe we should appreciate the fact that we have a
roof over our head and internet access and TV shows
to and a heater to turn on when things aren't
going well. Maybe we should all shut the hell up
about this crap we complain about here on the air.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I mean, we're like, oh God, Will Rogers is terrible,
Gino Smith sucks.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
What the hell meantime? The guy down the streets eating
bugs for crying out loud. Honestly, I mean we are
we're hashtag blessed. If we can go on the air
and bitch about this stuff, then we are hashtag blessed.
But if anybody from Puget Sound Energy wants to call
the radio show, because everyone's got the same problem right now,
right and we're getting just tons of texts right now,
no power, have power, don't have power. My neighbor has power,
(04:31):
and I'm pissed off. No power here in Monroe, but
I have a generator show.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I'm fine. I live in Maple Valley. It's like a
war zone down here.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
No anything closest to anything close to the foothills.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Just got well, if anybody from PSC wants to jump
on and talk to us, we'd love to have you.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
So just to give us a call.

Fine, I'd find Christmas day. How about that? Give him
some damn hope.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Hey, the bless us everyone.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
The modern era semi finalists for the Hall of Fame
have been announced, and Earl Thomas is on the list
of former Seahawk and I look, I know we've talked
about your thoughts on the Hall of Fame before, but
let's let's put those aside for a second. Does does
Earl Thomas strike you? Does he strike you as a
Hall of Fame player in your mind?
Speaker 7 (07:18):
Not persvallid, But what.
Speaker 8 (07:19):
The hell do I know?
Speaker 7 (07:20):
I don't have a vote.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I don't want to vote.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
I wouldn't take a vote if they tried to give
me one. It is an enormous time drain Charen Williams
from PFT is involved in that, and a few times
a year she ends up being tied up for a
whole day. I can't sit still long enough to listen
to a bunch of other media people bloviate. Now, if
I'm the one bloviating, that's fine, but I don't want
anyone else to be bloviating, so I'm not interested. It
(07:45):
seems like maybe he gets in at some point. I
don't know. I'd have to do the research. I have
to look at number of all pros. I'd have to
hear the k sport. Is he up there with Troy
Polamalo and Ed Reid? I don't know. I don't Things
kind of fizzle out for him pretty dramatically. Once he
lost the fastball, he really lost it. Does he have
the longevity? I just have to look into it, because
(08:05):
I really don't care about it.
Speaker 8 (08:06):
I haven't looked into it.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Yeah, I get it, Mike.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
What level of panics should the league have that the
next Netflix servers won't be able to handle Christmas Day
games after what we saw with the Tyson fight.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
Well, I don't know that panic is the right word,
because they're in a position to avoid panic. They're in
a position to ensure that whatever it was that went
wrong on Friday night won't go wrong five weeks from
today when it's Chiefs at Steelers and Ravens at Texans. So,
as Brian Rolapped ahead of NFL media said today at
(08:41):
an event in New York, basically, it's good that it
happened now and that this fight was scheduled what it
was for a reason. Remember, originally was going to happen
in July. So they get it done five and a
half weeks before the arrival of the Christmas Games, and
they can diagnose the problem. They can throw enough money
I had it to fix it, and you trust that
they have the expertise to make it happen. But I
(09:03):
don't know, is the second time they've had a live
stream debacle. They had that what is that one of
their reality dating shows. They were doing a reunion and
big live event and it was a complete and total mess.
So we'll see, we'll see, but it was definitely a
mess on Friday. The video was grainy. I was buffering
at one point it crashed. Now once the fight started,
(09:26):
it was generally okay, which was bad because I really
didn't want to see the fight. The moment that I
saw the physique of Mike Tyson, I realized this was
a mistake and watching it, even though I was kind
of rooting for Mike Tyson despite his off the ring history,
it was a nostage of play for those of us
who came of age in the eighties when Mike Tomlins
(09:47):
just pounding the crap out of everyone. But it was
boring and beyond the technical realities of it. I wish
I had that half hour in my life.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
That Mike Florio's with us on the radio. Sho Joe,
who always wishes he has this ten minutes of his
life back. He spends with us every Wednesday here at
three ten Pacific time. But Mike, the Jets fired Joe
Douglas six weeks after they fire Robert Sala. Now they
need a head coach and a GM. What does that
mean for Aaron Rodgers' future there?
Speaker 7 (10:16):
Well, you know it's funny because he said just last
week he thinks he wants to continue to play next year.
And one of the points I made, there's no guarantee
the Jets are going to want you. We already knew
at the time there's going to be a new coach.
We were suspecting there'd be a change in GM, although
Joe Douglass hell the job. Put together a pretty talented team,
so talented that Woody Johnson said when he fired Robert Sala,
(10:37):
this is the most talented team in the twenty five
years I've owned the Jets. But now they've got clean slate.
I don't think Aaron Rodgers is going to be back.
And the fact that Woody Johnson suggested benching him after
a Week four loss to the Broncos, and I've confirmed that,
and I know there's different interpretations out there he was joking.
I mean, I don't know where the punchline is if
that was a joke. But regardless, there's an audience of
(11:00):
one Aaron Rodgers. What does he think about this?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Joe?
Speaker 7 (11:02):
What does he think about whether or not Woody Johnson
actually wanted or suggested benching Aaron Rodgers. I just think
come the end of the season, there will not be
a continuation. The question I have, at what point between
now and Week eighteen does Aaron Rodgers say, you know what,
I am so banged up from a variety of injuries.
I'm just not going to force myself to play through it.
(11:24):
We're not playing for anything, and if my owner is
going to have these thoughts about me that I never
knew about until it was leaked to the media, I
just don't want to play.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Talk to me about a couple of NFC East quarterback situations,
and why the Giants are starting Tommy DeVito and not
their backup Drew Locke to replace Daniel Jones, And the
same question with the Cowboys, why do we have Rush
starting instead of Trey Lance Because isn't that the exact
opportunity you would want to give a Trey Lance too
if you were the Cowboys.
Speaker 7 (11:54):
Well, first, as to the Giant situation, and you know,
football fans hear this statement as much as wrestling fans
wanted to hear before everybody acknowledged that it's fake, that
it's fake. I remember when I was a kid and
my dad would tell me it's all fake. I would
get mad at him. I didn't want to hear that.
I kind of knew it deep down. I didn't want
(12:15):
to hear it. Football is a business, and fans don't
want to hear that. They think that every team is
trying to win every game in pursuit of every Super
Bowl championship, and it's all about the purity of competition,
and business considerations have nothing to do with it. Well,
two separate business considerations came together here. Number one, Daniel
Jones is a contract with twenty three million in injury
guarantees that will be owed to him next year, and
(12:38):
they can't cut him while he's still injured, and eleven
million of it becomes vested in March, So if he
has an injury over the balance of the season that
prevents him a passing of physical by marks, the eleven
million is gone. The other twelve million. If he's not
able to pass the physical by the start of the
regular season, that's gone. So we're done with him. We're
going to cut him after the season. We'd put him
in bubble wrap, just like the US did last year
(13:00):
with Russell Wilson, although earlier in the calendar than that.
And then they ignore the depth chart. They skip over
the number two, the guy who was still number two
through the game before the bye week. They didn't demote
Drew Locke for Tommy DeVito, but they got four home
games left. It's a lost season. Let's give rip people
(13:21):
what they want, and those folks in New Jersey, they
want Tommy Gabba gul out there and they want him
doing the hand yester and they want the whole production.
And that's what this is all about. Playing and simple.
This is about business. This is about saving twenty three
millions and trying to squeeze some more cash out of
a lost season with the veto out there doing Tommy
(13:41):
DeVito things. And along the way they get an evaluation
of them to decide whether or not he's the guy
they want to go with next year. But I don't
think he is because they saw enough last year and
he was still number three on the depth chart.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Jim Harboss said Justin Herbert, it's one of the best
quarterbacks of all time. He also said JJ McCarthy was
the best Michigan quarterback of all time.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Is this just him pumping his own guys up and being.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
A great leader for his quarterback or does he actually
have a case on Justin Herbert.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
Very few quarterbacks have the natural personality where they walk
into the room and everybody stops what they're doing. Tom Brady,
Peyton Manning. Not many guys are natural born leaders like that,
And a coach explained to me several years ago. When
a guy isn't naturally the guy, when he's not naturally
(14:29):
the sheriff who just takes over every circumstance he's in,
you have to treat him that way so others view
him that way. If people aren't going to naturally view
him that way, you need to talk everyone else into
thinking that it's true. That's part of the game. That's
how you prop a guy up. And you know, I
don't know what the Lions did to press the buttons
(14:51):
on Jared Goff to get him to play like the
best quarterback in football. They didn't do a lot of
it publicly. But every coach is different, and every style
is differ and Hardball style is to overtly cheerlead for
his quarterback and sing his praises, and whoever plays quarterbacks
for him is going to be loyal and he's going
to listen to him and is going to feel a
(15:13):
connection because he knows that his coach is going to
be out there every single day telling anyone who'll listen,
and plenty who don't care how great this guy is.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
Mike is the pendulum now swinging from running backs are
a dime a dozen now to running backs might be
kind of important because of what Joe Mixon, Derrick Henry,
and Sakuon Barkley are doing with their new teams.
Speaker 7 (15:35):
Well, I think both things can be true. Running Backs
who can move the chains, score touchdowns, generate a thousand yards.
Those guys are everywhere, And that dawned on me twenty
years ago. We used to go to the West Virginian
games every weekend, and I realized over the course of time,
you know what, every year, we got a guy who
can play in the NFL. If you block for him,
(15:56):
if you can trust him to hold on to the football,
and if he can handle blitz, he can play in
the NFL.
Speaker 8 (16:02):
And those guys are everywhere.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
Supply out ways as a man. But the list of
truly special running backs is short, and if you have
one of those guys, you can't treat him like the
other guys. That's what the Giants did with Barkley, It's
what the Titans did with Derrick Henry, It's what the
Bengals did with Joe Mixon. And add to Henry and Mixon,
I think part of it also was they're getting toward
the end of their useful life. We can't make this
(16:25):
financial investment and guys are about to fall apart.
Speaker 8 (16:27):
And it's also possible that all.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
Three guys are rejuvenated because their original team didn't want them.
We're all motivated by various things, real and perceived, but
each of those three guys can have this legitimate idea that,
you know what, I was disrespected, I wasn't wanted, and
I'm going to go out there and I'm going to
(16:48):
prove to everyone that I can still do it. And
that may be why all three of them are having
such great years.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
All right, Mike, before you go, music to your ears.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Last question, Cardinals coming to town Sunday, Hawks coming off
win in San Francisco, Cardinals in first place, Hawks a
game back. How good is this Cardinal football team? Honestly
that we'll see on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I think they're better than anyone thinks.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
And what happens is a team develops a reputation. That
reputation gets attached to their overall look, to their uniforms,
everything about them, and it takes a while for people
to accept that they're good.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Now.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
I think the Bengals went through that. You know, there
are teams over the years that have kind of risen
up and become competitive, and we can't get our brains
to accept it. And I think the NFL is currently
in the process of forcing itself to accept the fact that, Hey,
the Bengals are pretty the Bengals. The Cardinals are pretty
good right now because they are Kyler Murray comeback Player
(17:44):
of the Year, possible MVP depending upon where they go
from here. They only have a one game lead over
the rest of the division. But they're not a team
to look down, you know that anymore? And they had been,
you know, for most of the last six or seven years.
Even though they made to the playoffs in twenty twenty one,
they weren't competitive against the Rams in that wild card game.
So they need to be taken seriously. And this is
(18:06):
a fascinating decision a division. We tried to break it
down on PFC Love yesterday. Who finishes fourth, third, second? First,
I've got it, Rams first, Seahawks second, Cardinals third, No, Rams, Cardinals,
Seahawks sorry, and then the forty nine ers in fourth.
But who knows? Who knows? They're all bunched together. It's
going to be fun to watch over the next seven
is there seven weeks least what week is it? Twell?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Yep? Seven games left?
Speaker 7 (18:28):
Twelve yep, damn seven games lest This season has rocketed
by I can't I really, I don't know what dat is.
I don't know what we get it. I think I
know what year it is, but I don't want to
get some guts wrong.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Well, by the way, we're getting multiple texts about job
offers for Jackson, so you might be inch and closer
to getting that race. We'll have an update for you
next week. All right, yeah, all right, man, good stuff
we'll talking about. But Mike Florial with us on the
radio show. Jackson were kidding, by the way, but don't
tell me that. I mean he actually thinks he's getting
fired to give him a raise. I'm telling you, thank you, jack.
(19:00):
I don't know what you guys would do without.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
Me, so.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Not get yelled at is what we do. We'll get
a break.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
All Right Factor fiction brought to by the Emeral Queen
coming up in a matter of minutes, Petrose at four.
Kevin Harlan joining us at five o'clock tonight. It's Hockey

of items up for bid on the website, by the way,
at ninety three three KJR dot com.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
So check it out.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Doctor Henry pelto Cracking Team Physician Team Physician with the
MS will join us as well at three forty five
and talk about what's going on behind the scenes with
Hockey Fights Cancer Month with the Cracking. So you guys
heard that Earl Thomas is a same semi finalist for
the Hall of Fame. I asked Mike Florio about that.
When you hear the name Earl Thomas, Deck Jackson, do
(20:06):
we think Hall of Fame when we think about the
name Earl Thomas.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Yeah, that's funny. I mean you asked me that question
in twenty seventeen. I would I just say yes in
a second, right, And now it's twenty twenty four, and
like he's done a bunch of crazy stuff since then,
so you kind of have to go back and say, well,
wait a second, he was basically the best free safety
in the NFL for a half of a decade, right,
(20:31):
And my kind of delineation for baseball and basketball is
were you the best at your position for a decade
or or right there, one of the best at your
position for a decade? Football, you gotta kind of have
to put cut that in half, right, because football players
other than quarterbacks. I mean, five years is a long
time in the NFL to be elite. So yes, I
think it's a long way of saying yes, I still
(20:53):
think Earl Thomas is a Hall of Fame or that
being said.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
He's not a first ballot You got to wait his turn.
I mean, he's not an autom man right away.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Right yeah, Jackson, how about you?
Speaker 5 (21:02):
I think he's just pulow the line. I think what's
funny is, I think is the line of making it
versus not making it. If we set that bar, I
think the distance that they're away from it is the
same for Felix Fernandez and Earl Thomas. I think Earl Thomas, though,
is below that line, and I think Felix is above
that line. But for both of them, it's very close.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Earl Thomas was a three time first team All Pro,
five time first team or second team, seven time Pro bowler,
and was on the twenty tens All Decade Team. So,
just for reference, the two guys that were on the
two thousands All Decade Team or Brian Dawkins and Ed Reid,
and both those guys are in the Hall of Fame.
The difference is Ed Reid led the league in interceptions
three times. Earl Thomas never did that. Ed Reid was
(21:43):
a first teamer All excuse me, AP All Pro five times,
and he was a first or second team player eight times.
So you can't just look at one All Decade team
and say, well, that guy's in, So the next All
Decade team has.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Got to be in.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
But I do think that being on the All Decade Team,
I mean, Dick your point about were you the best
at your position for a considerable amount of time. Earl
Thomas is one of three safeties on the twenty tens
All Decade Team.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Yeah, And to Jackson's point, I honestly I haven't flipped Jackson.
I mean I think Earl Thomas was a bet. Now
Felix had the longevity more than Earl Thomas did, but
that's also baseball. I just think Earl Thomas was a
better free safety than Felix was a pitcher.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
I mean, I think he's just gotten more accolades at
his position than Felix has gotten.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
I mean, Felix says what softy two cy Young's and
how many Star Games?
Speaker 3 (22:35):
And he was second one year.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Think I think cy Young would would correlate directly to
like defensive player of the Year, and Earl doesn't have that.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Yeah, no he doesn't, he doesn't. And Felix safety's ever
win defensive players.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
I think Ed Reid may have won it one year.
Did Edid win one year? He may have won it?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Polamalu, Ronnie Lott, guys like that, you know, back in
the day. But I mean, look, I mean Felix finished
first or second three times in the siding a war,
and we all know he would have won more if
he had a damn offense, right, I mean, we all
know those people voting on wins and losses things like that.
But I'm curious, No, Homer all right, put down the
freaking twelve jersey, put down the you know, the seahawk
(23:12):
colored glasses.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Earl Thomas. Does he belong eventually in the Hall of Fame? Yes?
Speaker 5 (23:16):
Or no?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
To four nine, four to five to one. Factor Fiction

We're good man? Good to give it back on the show.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
And first of all, thanks for all you guys are
doing over there, and let's just talk about this fight.
And every year I kind of ask you the same question.
How much closer are we today than we were at
this time a year ago to maybe kind of beating
this thing and getting out of cancer forever.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
Yeah, I think, as we talked before, it's a continual
process of improvement for everybody from a screening perspective, which
is a lot what we're talking about with the Virginiason
Franciscan Health today, and then the treatments and the evaluation
and all that stuff just continues to grow and evolve
and get more specific to individual types of cancers and
individual people with cancers, family history, real specific cell based therapies,
(29:29):
things like that are It's just so exciting. It's just
a great area of medicine and something that we're just
going to keep kind of pushing forward as a community
to save lives and make this thing something that people
just don't have to deal with it don't have to
worry about or able to really treat effectively as we
move forward.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Well, doctor, it's good to have you back on again.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
And I guess for me, you know, I'm fifty years
old now I kind of need like the rule of
thumb on when to get you know, how often to
get screened. What am I supposed to get screened for?
I mean, I want to get screened, and it's just
a matter of knowing when and how often.
Speaker 8 (30:04):
Yeah, I think it's a really good point. I think,
you know, one of the most important pieces of this
relationship with the primary care doctor and having that annual visit,
especially as we get you know, not younger, as we
move forward and get into our forties, fifties and beyond,
that's really when we start to see the importance of
screening come up. And your point is really well taken.
We want kind of the check mark or checkbox and
(30:25):
what do I get at this age and we have
some of that cancer If you don't have a history
of rust to cancer and your family, fifty is really
the year we start to encourage people to get a
PSA and get that check. That said, if you have
family history or other risk factors, and that you know,
moves a little bit younger. We want to get to
check sooner. You know a lot of people probably know
we used to say fifty to get a colonoscopy. That's
(30:48):
moved down to forty five now, and that can go
even lower if you have a family history or other
risk factors that would have us move sooner. So you
kind of in the forty to fifty ranges when we
really want to start thinking about these things unless you
have a history of people of cancer in your family
much younger, which like I said before, is and even
more even an ensue for an even younger ages. But
(31:09):
having that conversation every year with your doctors just sorry,
here's where I am. Sometimes we learn new things about
family members year to year. Making sure we're checking in
and running that list with them every year is a
really important piece of cancer screening and you get the
stuff you need the eighths that you need it and
stay as safe as possible.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Well Doctor Henry pelto with Hockey Fights Cancer Month, and
we're teaming up today to raise money for Virginia Mason
Franciscan Health with some pretty awesome auction items on the website.
You can bet on a Zamboni ride. Lower Bowl seats
to the January twenty third game against the Capitals. Tickets
to go see John Legends Christmas at CPA. Tickets for
the Ottawa game coming up obviously on the seventeenth of December,
(31:47):
of the February game against Toronto, and doctor, I'm just
curious about signs. I mean, you mentioned conoscopy, and I've
had mine, Dix had his, obviously, I'm fifty two years
old almost, But are there signs for some of the
older people that we can look for. I think I
told you last time he around with us that my
dad passed away a couple of years ago from lymphoma
in his brain. And there was a day where I
went over there. He was just tired. He just couldn't
(32:08):
wake him up. I think it's just exhausted, whatever, no
big deal. Are are there signs that people should be
looking for that says, hey, you got to go find
out right away if this is a cancer situation.
Speaker 8 (32:20):
Yeah, it's I'm I'm so sorry about your dad again.
I remember that really well. And a hard part about
a lot of cancers is there aren't at least early
on but this but some some there certainly are so
we you know, we're talking a lot about prostate cancer
this year with the PSA available even to the game
tonight for hockey fights cancer. You know, if you have
(32:40):
noticed that urine changing your year, and blood in your
urine going more frequently at night, changing the stream, this
can all be very normal age related things that those
can also be signs of cancer. Similar types of things
with bow cancer, colon cancer, blood in your stool, changing frequency,
frequency consistency, and these things can come with diet and
(33:02):
just normal aging that kind of stuff. But again back
to our conversation about having a good relationship with your doctors,
get those things checked out. If there's a delta change
from what your normal is, have a conversation, see what
they think about that. Do we need to do some evaluation,
lab works imaging that kind of stuff to rule out
cancer amongst other things. And it's important to check in
(33:23):
when things are shifting and changing from what your typical is.
And those are a few for prostate and colon certainly
self exams and checking for lumps and for breast cancer,
things like that are really important to check and then
you talk to your doc. Just the good rules thumbs
things are shifting, get a hold of them, have a conversation,
and see what we need to do to keep you
healthy for a long time.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Finally, for me, I know there was a problem for
a long time. Maybe there still is.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
You can tell me of especially men being like I
don't need to get checked out, I don't need to
go to the doctor. Are you seeing men these days
more willing to go to the doctor and get screened
than they were when you started your practice.
Speaker 8 (34:00):
Yeah, I think so. I think it's my experience has
been that way. I don't know if that's as widespread
as we would like it to be, but I think
things like hockey fights cancer and having our young athletes
out there saying hey, get this stuff checked and producing
some of the stigma around it, I think it's true.
And mental health, I think it's true. And more general
health too is when we struggle, we have issues, we
need to watch out for each other, and we got
(34:21):
to encourage each other to get to the doctor, get
checked regularly, or if anything moves or shifts. As we know,
sometimes things just get too far and it's too late,
And if we would have stepped in a little bit sooner,
said something to our brothers said something to our best Bud.
I think you can share that. It's going to back
and forth and make sure taking care of each other
and encouraging those kind of interventions. We're all going to
(34:42):
be better for it. So talk to your friends, talk
to your family. Let's take care of each other.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Yeah, don't be afraid to talk about it for sure,
Doctor Pelto Hey, great stuff, man, keep up the good
work and we will talk down the road.
