Mike Benton and Jessamyn are filling in for Puck and Jim, the duo start the show recapping the whole Vegas controversy regarding the on-air talent. Mike was a little stunned that he wasn’t mentioned but, hey it’s all good right… The Seahawks have a lot of holes, what will they do ahead of the NFL draft? But how about the Seahawks trading for QB Sam Howell, will the Seahawks look to take a QB in the Draft still, maybe not in the 1st round, but it will be interesting to see what the Seahawks will do.

Ashley was the one that was yeahKid dead last and it was all over
drinks. Also Yeah, Ashley putme at the end on the bars per
se because you know, I don'tpartake in the in the Devil's juice and
(02:29):
it's okay. But I was like, dang, Ashley. She was like,
sorry, Kid, love you,but I can't. No, there's
just you don't drink. I mean, if I go to Vegas and you
don't want to participate in the juice, the booze. Whatever it is,
Hey, we can still hang out. I'll give you the keys here.
That's corresponsibility, that's what I Youare making my point for me. And
(02:52):
you know, Ashley even poked funtoday on her booze. But it's okay,

because Ashley has a child. Butthen she wouldn't bring her child who LEAs

for the transcript, im into changingseats, but Ashley's not gonna bunch trim
(03:13):
to Vegas where you couldn't remember anythinglike in the hangover. Yes, it's
Sully time. Have you had atrip where you couldn't remember anything from Vegas?
Did you wake up and have atiger in your bedroom? I definitely
thought someone who looked like Tim Tebowwas Tim Tebow and he was now my
(03:35):
boyfriends thirteen years ago. I know. We still don't even talk. It's
amazing, best relationship ever. See, here's what I want if I'm going
to Vegas. I want the Crabstables. I want you do I I
can't play Crabs to save my life, but I still I still want to
throw away some money, though,how are you in strip clubs? Huh?
How are you in the strip club? Cannot comment? A few drinks?
(03:59):
Whatmo? Time out? We're goingback to this. What you mean
you cannot comment? You're I can'tremember. No, I can't remember.
See, I'm telling you, gentlemen. If Mike Ben and Iron Vegas,
I am getting Mike cover feet,got it. I'm giving Mike five hundred
dollars cash and we're gonna have aball. I want the Limo. I
want clubs at the top of theGhost Bar in Vegas. I better the
(04:21):
Ghost Bar. It's awesome, same, it's it's freaking rat I love it.
I got brought there by player whowill not be named. You got
to be named later, but yes, uh, an NFL player brought me
where I didn't know. I don'tknow Vegas at all, and I went
to the cool places that apparently peoplego. I've done that. We needed
(04:46):
to not remember it. What's what'sthe one place with the the chandelier in
there? The Paris? I wantto say it's here the Paris, or
it's it's one of the new Ifeel like, oh I have not been
there. I can guarantee you right. I've heard of grand stories about the
Cosmopolitan. So anyway, here's whereI'm getting at in that I want the
(05:11):
full experience. But here's here's theone thing we go through seeding this one
through twelve. And Ian made abig old stink about this yesterday on the
air of why he wasn't ranked highenough. He was not pleased. Did
anybody care to ask the guy sittingover here they call the captain around here
(05:32):
on the Emerald, Queen, CasinoCrack and Audio Network, who came in
today filling in from ten to one? Hey, you know what? Where
where would we see Mike? No? I was waiting around on selection Sunday
here for this. I have beenbanished to the Vegas vacation. Nit not
listed. I think that was unfair. Neither you Al and Fits were all
(05:57):
left off the list. No,seriously, are there there There's a reason
why fitz Al and I get along, Well, it is because we're all
friends. We have gone out,we have partied, we have that good
times. You want to take usto Vegas A four nine, four or
five one? Were you taking ushere? But I got banished. I
got banished to the vacation. NI t I don't think you were banished.
(06:17):
I think you were just left off. Betton, We're all forgetting about
you. Just don't even bother don'teven don't even bother plane. Who was
one? Again? You? You? You were one? Yes, thank
you well deserved crash. I thinkthe Morning Show all agreed Jessamine was number
one. I think that is Ifind people. Softy was definitely high.
(06:41):
I think Puck and Jim we're threeand three and four, four and five,
and then I don't know where Andersonlanded, but somehow Emerson topped me,
which was just I'm turning off mymic. But would would would would
Jim just pull the plug out forabout two or three hours. Though Sam,
I'm going to he's a ghoster.He definitely would be the Irish exitter.
Sure now, no Softy, Iheard you get the full experience here
(07:03):
with Softy. Yeah, you'd haveto go during the right time. The
Huskies have to be on some sortof sick run and there's got to be
something good going on or everything's horrible, and then he just wants the blow
off steam. So it's got tobe one end of the spectrum. I
think for Softy. Can you imagineif the Husky's ever won the national championship
(07:23):
in football, they were Softy,you gotta playing here in Vegas. He
would be on it. I hewould catch the tail. He would literally
fly there outside of the plane ifthat happened. I remember, though,
when when when we all got hereto like the national championship game, and
I swear for about five days hewas having an out of body experience,
(07:45):
and I was like, Hey,the Seahawks are playing Huskies. Oh yeah,
I know, it's funny. Andso I'm an adopted koog as well,
and I you know, I'm allcooog since twenty twelve, I'm adopted,
and I try to make no bonesabout that. However, Uh,
you know, I think it's alittle different out here because professional franchises didn't
(08:09):
come out here as early as theydid where I grew up on the East
Coast. And so you know,Softie didn't go to you Dove, And
I don't think he lies about thator anything, but people give him flack
about it. But I don't knowanyone who has either gone to that university
or not who loves the Huskies morethan Softy. So as an adopted person.
(08:31):
I can run in rank with himand you know, spit in his
face. But that's part of likethe Huskies aura is that you don't have
to go to the University of Washingtonand you've got like generations of stories going
back because they were the original prosports team here before the Seahawks got here,
before the Mariners got here, beforethe Sonics, and now the Kraken
also got here. Ask my dadgrew up in pw allup raised me up.
(08:56):
He raised me on the Adon Jamesera. He was going to games
when more Moon was quarterbacking for them, and they were the only thing around
here. They were the only thingaround here, so right, exactly,
That's why it's different for people whodidn't grow up here, and why Huskies
who didn't go to that school necessarilyare Huskies. And it took me a
(09:18):
really long time to be able tosay that out loud, but I get
it. I get it. Pullman'sdefinitely more my cup of tea. But
that's just me because I like tobeat myself up. I'm trying to I'm
trying to preserve my energy here becauseI'm going bonkers behind this mic. But
yet I'm off about five hours ofsleep and we got to go until about
one o'clock here for today. Oh, so we have so much time to
(09:41):
fill. It's going to be somuch. Well, we'll figure it out
to help us. You know what'sawesome that Puck and Jim do really well
is using the talk back. Soon the iHeartRadio app, you can talk
to us literally like it's a phonecall, but you just hear your voice
on the air. We don't getto talk to you back, which means
there's no repercussions. So go tothat iHeart Radio app and leave us some
(10:03):
messages because it's fun. Yeah,voicemails coming up at eleven thirty. Yeah,
have that much time to twenty threeto three. Oh, I can't
wait. And I'll get to thishere in a bit. Tune in Sunday.
By the way, I want totell you about this March seventeenth,
beginning of three pm for a selectionshows Sunday on Sports rating ninety three point
three KJRFM and the iHeartRadio Apple'll getto that here. We'll be covering all
(10:26):
things March Madness and the NCAA powerby Twin Peaks in Hunts Services. I
had the whole run of like crackinggame last night, got the ping from
the Powers that Bag would you mindhelping out tomorrow? Then went home eleven
o'clock, prep, tried to prep, fell sleep on the couch prepping,
got five hours of sleep, gotin the car and I was like,
(10:50):
wait a minute, say Patrick's Dayis Sunday. I had no idea.
Oh my goodness, Selection Sunday.It's like the perfect that's where I would
want to go. So Vegas usedto fall on Saint Patrick's Day for the
tournament. And it's tournament, bythe way, uh so tournament, tournament.
It's a tournament. I call atournament. Yeah, I know everyone
(11:13):
does too here, But anyway,so used to fall it was like the
perfect circle of things that were happening, you know, the Thursday Friday,
and then Saturday was the tournament andit was Saint Patrick's Day and it was
everything. So that used to bemy jam, and now it's moved.
The tournament is the next weekend.But so, but our Selection Sunday show.
(11:37):
I always love Selection Sunday and thefact that it falls on Saint Patrick's
Day means I have an excuse todrink some whiskey. Ready, maybe get
into my ready cooks, my Tellytime, bust it open, bottoms up,
Cougars, Where are they going?Where are they going? They're into
the semi finals, and I wantto get to the cougars here later on
(12:00):
back here to the Vegas thing.So this is now where I prompt the
fun button and again voicemail friends.Know you're out there, GQ, Jerry,
I know you're out there, Jamal, I know you're out there.
Pee Carroll, voicemail Softy who cameat me twice last week. That was
hilarious. I want to hear fromthe voicemails here for today, who would
(12:24):
be the most fun in Vegas?Four nine, four or five one,
or if you want to up theYannie, I want to hear the best
my one time in Vegas story fromone of our voicemail characters. You're gonna
have to, Jerry. I'm puttingChris Kid to work here for today.
Four five one. It may onetime in Vegas story from one of our
(12:48):
voicemail characters. GQ, Jerry,batter up, Jamal Adams, you're up,
Pee Carroll, you're up. VoicemailSofty, jim Nance you're up here.
We got Pete yesterday. So thatwas really cool. Oh that was
a really fun one. That wasactually stop Pete still going, Pete still.
I don't know what he's doing forthe Seahawks, but he's around.
(13:09):
I was disappointed that I didn't getPete last week. I got Softy twice.
I got GQ Jerry off the top. Also, hy Pete. There.
We need to make Mike Benon's day. So you get on that iHeart
app and you tap that microphone giveus thirty seconds of glory. My one
time in Vegas story. I wantto hear from one of our voicemail characters.
(13:31):
I really thought you were going totell one. Every time you say
that, I'm like, oh,Benon's got some secret. The last time
I was in Vegas and could rememberanything outside of work, it had to
have been when I was working inthe minor leagues of hockey and it was
in the ECHL and they hold leaguemeetings like every year out there in Vegas.
(13:52):
They used to go around like theywent from Las Vegas one year to
Atlanta, then back to Vegas nextyear, then back to Atlanta again,
and then after about a couple oftimes, we're like, yeah, we're
gonna have a little more fun inLas Vegas. So I think my the
(14:13):
the longest night I had there,which I can remember, it involved a
piano bar at New York, NewYork. Yeah, and the place was
jammed. It was packed. Therewas like maybe two hundred people from like
every team jammed in that place.Requests are going, drinks are going.
All of a sudden, I seethis large congregation just outside of the front
(14:35):
doors. And you know, thisis back like in two thousand and eight.
This is this is before the iPhonewas becoming a big thing with cameras
and all that, and so wehad all the flip phones all flipping up,
and I was like, who's that? Who's that guy who was trying
to, you know, hug somebody, but he's not. It was Howie
Mandel. Oh, I was takingthe guy who put a glove on his
(14:58):
head like that guy. It washow he. Oh, my goodness,
that was the guy at the time. He was. It was Howie Mandel
taking pictures with people like the imageof dates. Now it was it was
two thousand eight. I want tosay, two thousand and eight, Halli
Mandel. Is that big a deal? That's awesome? Deal or no deal?
Remember yes, I do. Iforgot that he hosted that. I
(15:18):
don't know that the height of dealor no deal. So he's taken pictures
with people out there. He's areally nice guy. He's a super nice
guy for but he doesn't like totouch people. So he's kind of got
like the like the a leaning thing, but I'm not going to touch it
type of thing, like the lingeringhand. No, you don't even touch
anybody. Yeah, he was kindof like leaning over and take a picture,
(15:39):
but there was like about twenty fivepeople in line to take pictures.
Though. I mean you would knowbecause people are constantly lining up with you,
but you have it down not aslong as you're lying though, not
as long as Jess's line over hereperfected the art of it. He was
just very new at it at thetime. There's like twenty five people in
(16:00):
to get a picture of Hallie Mandeland he's like doing the whole lean over
here, and you can tell like, yeah, let's get this done.
I just want to get out ofhere. Well, you just wanted to
go in, he said, youwere outside of a casino. When you
saw it, he'd probably just wantedto go inside of it. It was
New York, New York. Right, Yeah, it was in the middle
of New York, New York.But then again, if you want privacy,
what are you doing in the middleof New York, New York.
Though, that's unfair, that's unfairfor famous people not to be able to
(16:23):
go out and enjoy the things uspleaves do. But what do you expect?
I mean, I'll put to youthis way, I'll walk back.
Okay, you can go wherever youwant to go. Now, if you
want privacy, you've got to knowwhat to expect. Then you're acting like
a guy. You're acting like ajerk. If you have the privacy screen,
(16:44):
I will okay, I'll give youan example if you don't mind me
taking us farther off the rails.So nothing, Oh my gosh, I'm
so glad that we're leaning into that. So I have gone to Super Bowl
parties right at the Super Bowl andyou know, the days before the biggest
ones, and I you know,I've I've got Brett Farrest standing over there
(17:06):
and wranglers and I've got you know, every head coach there who is not
coaching in this game. And theydidn't care at all. And it was
the coolest thing ever, because everyonekind of knew. And then a former
quarterback came through with like a posseof twenty three people, and it was
looked down upon because that was hisprivacy. Right. Oh, we're just
(17:29):
going to this room in this room, and that person couldn't be bothered with
with the crowd who didn't give acrap because all of these Hall of famers
are around us anyway. We've gotthe biggest stars in movies and comedy also
around it, and we're just shootingthe crap with each other. And then
this person has his privacy screen andhis little guru and twenty three people following
him from room to room, andnobody can talk to him that I'm sorry.
(17:55):
The privacy screen can scream things thatmake you look protectious. If you're
going to be out in public withabout roughly ten people saying, don't touch
this guy, don't borrow this guy, what's the point. Why? How
tough are you? Then this isan NFL quarterback, so's the point of
it? Just like, okay,bring your offensive line. Then at least
(18:15):
that shows more to me than anythingelse. Has anybody had an experience like
that? Four nine, four orfive one and try to meet someone famous
and you get stonewall by about tenpeople saying, now, do not even
look at him. Oo ooh,do not him him or her? What.
I have a good story that Iactually I pretended to be that person
at the New York super Bowl andI guess it was the twenty thirteen season,
(18:38):
so it was technically twenty fourteen.And I had my friend who's a
comedian, and I was walking himin and I was like, I know
how to get you in here.I only had to take it for myself
to go to the super Bowl party. So I walked him down the red
carpet and literally did that and said, no, you cannot, you cannot.
He will do interviews over here.He did like four interviews then,
(19:02):
thinking he was he was wearing aJohn Ryan jersey and there were people asking
him, are you out too lateto be playing in the game too?
So you know, you're given yourtake. You're given your take four nine,
four five one. So we're gonnaget to this Vegas thing here again.
I got left out in the cold. I don't have a usual show
(19:22):
six to ten, ten to oneian Softi's you're just every squat as well.
I'm just they call me out ofthe bullpen and say, hey,
can you help out whenever you can. I want to be a good team
player. So I got left outinto the vacation. N I T So
I want to hear from your voicemailfriends, your best, my your your
your best, my one time inVegas story, Go ahead and make it
(19:45):
up. Chris get is gonna haveto get to work here to try to
keep this PG rated as much aspossible. So old done, are you
alive? We haven't heard from youenough? You have you got? I'm
actually finding more music. Okay,all right, all right there he's getting
busy. He's getting busy. Thebig old jacket and everything too. This
(20:06):
is such a good jacket. Thisman came to work here today. I
did, he did. I botheredhim so much yesterday and then he didn't
like I did because that's my natureand I'm an overproducer and he goes,
no, that's not what the showis. So uh And then I found
out I was working with you.I never turned down a chance to tag
(20:30):
team with Jessmon McIntyre, really,yes, happy, never ever ever turn
it down. I might be themost sloppy dressed guy here in studio here,
by the way. But at leastit's something to talk about because I'm
wearing an old throwback hockey jersey herefrom my very first job in the minor
leagues, the Stockton Thunder, theThunder eight years eight years in Stockton.
(20:52):
I brought the Thunder here. Dadjoke, Boy, he's got it.
Jill got it. I thought,you know what, if I'm gonna come
on here from ten to one,there's at least something to talk about and
take this show even more off therails. It can't get anymore off the
rails here at this point, though. Yeah, we're trying really hard to
go off. So because this usuallyis the show of breaking news, the
(21:15):
show of record, we do wantto. I think we're I think we
are the last show to get tothe whole sam Hell thing with the trade
from the Washington Commanders to the Seahawks. So we're gonna get to that,
and also some Seahawks needs ever itfits. You also will be along at
noon. He's got cracking things.He's got detroit Lyons things. Also,
(21:37):
they just recently extended Dan Campbell.I believe, so Fitz has got a
lot to talk about all some morenonsense. Tough loss with the crack in
last night to one of the Washingtoncapitals, which pushes them even closer and
closer here to playoff elimination than itdoes here to a playoff spot. Nine
points back and seventeen games to go. They have Nashville and they have of
(22:00):
Buffalo as well coming up here onthis homestand ending Monday. They've had some
key losses, but that was atough one to take because there was a
lot of unforced airs and a lotof mistakes that ultimately could have been a
one nothing wins to turn into atwo to one loss. So we'll get
to fits in just a bit.Voicemails again eleven thirty I got an idea
(22:22):
here for the tweet of the dayeleven forty five coming up, and it
involves golf with Michael Jordan and doyou want to level up with him?
I can't wait for that one.We're gonna give two more here in just
a bit. I'm in for puckingJim, Mike Jessemine, Chris Kid as
well here on ninety three three kJRFM. This just crossing the wire about
(22:45):
an hour ago or so. Firstballot Hall of Famer without question. Aaron
Donald has announced his retirement from theNFL the La Rams as well. Guy
who just changed the game all overthe place. Ten time pro bowler,
eight time First Team All Pro,three time Defensive Player of the Year,
(23:07):
Aaron Donald announcing his retirement after tenNFL seasons. Let me hear to checking
out the tellmore dude text line,Chris Kid are gonna get to work on
this. I think from the twoto zero eight we have to have a
Geno Atino's voicemail celebrating Aaron Donald's retirement. We have. Oh, I can't
(23:30):
wait for eleven thirty voicemails. Ican't see. All we have to do
is just ask, hey, friends, would you mind pitching a little bit
here for some content? Think aboutit. You get to have your voice
heard over the radio. This iswhy I love this show. This is
why I love this show. Wehave willing participants. I don't want to
(23:53):
say off the bench. Vaca's backnow, Yes, she went to the
store. Is that a metaphor?You know what? Maybe I got you
some goodies. Maybe I don't havethem anymore? Now you know my thing?
Yeah? No one meal a die. I can't buy you snacks anymore.
You just missed this, by theway, So we had the Aaron
Donald think come across about him retiring, Yeah, after ten seasons, and
(24:17):
interesting, we're getting Chris Kid towork and the voicemails are coming in already
here for eleven thirty. We mayhave to go to two segments here for
this. I would love that.I love extra voicemails because there's so much
might be an all timers show thatwe just basically said we're gonna roll it.
Okay, we ball and it mightbe a two segment voicemail day,
but we have one here from thetwo o eight saying we need to have
(24:38):
a gino at Dino's voicemail celebrating AaronDonald's retirement. I think that, Yeah,
who wants to come? Who wantsto come to that party? I
mean really, I mean I thinkthere's offensive lineman a bound who would really
love that. Okay, So Ithink that's the appropriate time for a guy
(25:02):
of his stature and of his legacyto retire. But sometimes it's hard for
people to let go. And Iwould bring Bobby Wagner into that conversation as
well, because I thought he wouldretire as Seahawk. I'm not saying he
doesn't have the chops. He canstill play. I just thought that after
this season he would go out ontop, especially with the team where he
was born and bred. How differentwould this be if Pete Carroll was still
(25:25):
hear, that's a good question.It's a body Wagener still be here four
nine one, I think so.I do the different regime, different decision
makers, and we're seeing a differentteam already emerge because of this. Bobby
Wagner will be a Hall of Famer. He will be on that Wall of
Fame cro Bowl. Absolutely absolutely itis. And and the fact that he
(25:51):
came back too, because I youknow, in his departure when he went
to the Rams, he definitely feltdisrespected by the team at the time,
where they were kind of like,go do what you want instead of hey,
we need you. But he cameback and when the Rams played here,
he went right over to that lockerroom and said, you know,
(26:12):
like there was no love lost,which I think is a huge sign of
maturity and a person who you'd wantin a locker room. So when he
came back, I really thought thatthat was going to be the last place
he played He's mister Seahawk for sure. He is, and I think he
always will be. Yeah, AndI think he knows that in his heart
too. And I love the factthat in his heart he still wants to
(26:33):
play and he deserves to. Tuesday, tune in March nineteenth, beginning at
one pm four Bracketology broadcast live fromno Qualm Casino, presented by Hunt Services,
Twin Peaks, the Evergreen Council onProblem Gambling ends no Qualm Casino,
a show to help you fill outyour bracket and discuss which games to bet
(26:53):
on. We're gonna be talking alot more about this here today, well,
the Seahawk thing. We're the lastshow of record, and funny enough
ironic because this is usually the showup breaking news right here on these airways.
Were the last one to talk aboutthe Sam Halle to the Seahawks trade.
That one. Yeah, that happenedright at about like one oh five
pm. It was right after wegot off the air yesterday. Ian broke
(27:15):
it. And all Ian had todo was just reach out and say,
would you just my holding off onthe news until about a little after war
yeah just gets him. Please congratulationsIan, because it was awesome but you
know, there are some sources outthere who had said to me and others
that the Seahawks were not going todraft a quarterback, and I took that
(27:40):
as not using sixteen right. Notokay, they're not going to drive,
but they weren't going to draft anyand they trade for a guy who was
completely off of all of our radars. All of our radars. We didn't
see this coming except the one biggame he had here when when the Seahawks
faced the Commanders, we did.They was slinging it. He was,
(28:00):
and so they saw it. Butyou know, it's not like Mike McDonald
was here at that time. Hewasn't tracking that, and so who knows.
I mean, he was writing Baltimore, so maybe he got a better
look than we did. Well,I mean, I'll put to you this
way here. One thing's for sure. We can just put this whole Michael
Pennox to the Seahawks thing too bad. Forget it. It's fine, I
(28:22):
know. I mean, I'll bethe first ad that I was kind of
cut up with the whole hooplah aboutall this. I mean, my nine
year old son loves NFL football.Now he's talking about it all the time,
he's educated me more on c.J. Strout than what I knew
about c. J. Strout aboutprobably twelve months ago. But let's put
to you this way. Yes,the narrative was fun about Ryan Grubb taking
(28:44):
over this offense. I loved it. I craved it. I wanted more
of the juicy story lines in behindthe whole thing about going from the Huskies
out to Alabama and flipping right backhere into town. But how you run
an offense in college is different thanhow you run an offense in the NFL.
And we had to look at thisfrom the eyes of sure, Ryan
Grubb will have this soft spot forMichael Pennox, but ultimately, what is
(29:08):
he going to do that is goingto be best here for the Seattle Seahawks
And can Pennex fit in this scheme? We don't know, but we know
one thing's for sure. There havebeen conversations, likely conversations up We've got
to have a guy behind Geno Smith. Without question, Geno is QB one
and now Sam hal is QB two, And they figure that this is more
of the safer route to go.Yeah, and I agree, And I
(29:30):
just don't think that they have thedraft capital to do what they want to
do at quarterback and also fill theholes that they have there. They you
know, we clearly know the offensiveline needs work, and the interior offensive
line is very very heavy in thisdraft. They have their tackles. If
(29:51):
they're healthy, we know we're goodto go. So if we're looking at
guards, the ridiculous amount of moneythat has been spent in free agency on
guards, I would be not happyif the Seahawks had done that. They
need linebackers, yeah, you know, they need help like all over the
place right now. Yeah, butthey have their structure right. This isn't
a rebuild. And that's what makesme so excited about the Seahawks season and
(30:15):
also about this signing. I don'tknow anything about Sam Howell except for what
I can read on paper or paperis now the internet so beaten up out
there in Washington. He did getthat offensive line, he did, he
didn't. They're going through their ownrebuild as well, so it made sense
for both Washington's I guess for thistrade, I didn't love it when I
(30:40):
saw it. I went, huh, okay, But that's kind of the
moves that the Seahawks under John Schneider'sreign have made are ones that don't blow
your socks off. So so herehere's where I go with this, and
that you have to add to theoffensive line for protection. There's a big
need right there and they need helpwith their back seven. On defense,
(31:03):
you want to take a swing atan old lineman, what about Kevin Zeidler,
Raven, Mike McDonald connection there andlineman who get older are still useful.
He was good at protecting Lamar Jackson. I mean PFF had him at
an eighty two point five pass blockinggrade. So there's a stopgap. But
I think there's something there with familiarityand that you can pick him up.
(31:26):
He's useful, he's trusted, he'ssecure, he's going to help you out
trying to get the protection here.Yeah, for a Gino Smith and Sam
hell, I wouldn't mind that,or at least bring him into camp if
he's still on the market, youwould think that he at least could have
an invite. But you're looking atMike McDonald, the defensive guy. But
he did go against him his teamas a defensive coordinator. His guys went
(31:49):
against that guy every single day,so he would have a good read on
it that would tell us a littlebit more about it. This is kind
of the fun thing is that,you know, there's so much help all
over running. Yes, you nailedto men, and it's not as if
this team isn't a full blown rebuildhere, but they're having to just fill
a few pieces over and over andover because I mean, we're a long
way away from the legion of boomEra, but there's still a feeling that
(32:10):
you can fill a few holes here. You're on the right track to getting
back to you know, where youwere and where you want to be about
roughly two or three years from now. I mean in the in the secondary.
A name that comes to mind toohere for me again four nine four
five one Cameron curl Oh strong safetyfor the Commanders. Yeah. I hadn't
thought about Cameron. It was asgood as a rookie. Yeah, he
(32:30):
hasn't had an interception in three seasons, so I mean that that's a bit
concerning. He's got exposed in TDcoverage. But he was in the middle
of a bad defense out there.That's what sucks about you know, certain
you know, it's it's units ona team, regardless of the you know,
projection or the end game of winsand losses. You can be a
(32:52):
fantastic player and being a bad schemefor you or just being on a bad
defense or offense. And that isan frigging name to bring up. Now,
he's twenty four years of age,but I mean again, versatility matters.
He's got it and he's physical.So yeah, I know we've been
to the Jamal Adams saying it he'sphysical. Well, we saw what happened
(33:14):
there. Well how about this guy, Cameron Curl? Yeah, respond,
Jamal Adams is a headliner too,and he ate up every drop of We've
been down that road over and over. You know what I like, though,
is when you pull names out ofthe hat, it happens. You
did it with Ryn Stanley. Yeah, I called it that. I called
it, you did that, andit happened. This is show. This
(33:37):
is no longer the show of recordtoday it is a show of prediction,
the show of prediction, the showwe call it. We're gonna, We're
gonna step out Mike Jessemine, ChrisKidden for Puck and Jim. Here in

The twenty twenty four contest courtesy TwinPeaks, Hunt Services, Zeke's Pizza
Everreen Council on Problem Gambling, HigherConstruction and whistle Work where I want to
thank a few people here for callingme out and issuing a correction on this
(36:09):
because Cameron curl is off the boardnow he has gone to the Rams.
It was nice to think of that, maybe, but Cameron Curll off here
to the Rams officially on his deal, so he is a free agent that
has officially now been spoken for twoyears at thirteen million dollars as well.
Oh Julian blood deal. Julian Blackman'sstill out there, Okay, curious about
(36:32):
him. Maybe Julian Blackman, youwant to go for him? One of
the few key free agents the Cultshave not signed on their roster. That's
an enormous hole on their defense.So that's a big hole to fill on
their secondary. You would think thatAndy would probably be having those conversations too,
right, like, that's already happening. I think that the Seahawks did
(36:54):
so many things in free agency thatwe're close to home, and that almost
made me worried where I'm like,is this Mike McDonald's team or is it
John Schneider's team, Because it waseveryone that they signed with someone who was
already there or was previously there.And then all of a sudden, Sam
Howell, Okay, you're not goingquarterback in the draft. This is amazing.
(37:17):
So I don't think they're going tobe too active in free agency anymore.
Let let's just be real. Imean, I also want to first
touch on the QB thing that thisis going to be a stopgap thing.
I mean, this is basically justa way to get through this next you
know, a couple of years here. If they find their guy at quarterback.
They'll find their guy, but Idon't think it's gonna happen here for
this first round. Do you thinkSam Howell is the next Geno Smith as
(37:39):
what they had him as, andall of a sudden, he actually I
couldn't believe, a competence starter.I couldn't believe I heard that he's a
future franchise quarterback that was actually spokenon these airwaves twenty four hours ago,
and I thought, Sam Howe,wish for thinking. You have so many
what ifs? So but it's somany What is so exciting with new regime?
(38:00):
Too? We don't know what RyanGrubb's offense looks like on a professional
spectrum, So I kind of I'mexcited about this season because we're all what
if in a team that is notin disrepair. We have a very successful
team that has its bones, hasits structure, and we'll see what these
(38:20):
young guys and you know what,I don't know if I'm the only one
that thinks about him. I'm soexcited for a healthy Mike Morris that defensive
and from Michigan can play. Andthey shut him down for a reason.
He had health issues and so hewas kept healthy for an entire year.
I can't wait to see what hedoes. And then you had spooning you
(38:45):
or two. All of a suddenthat backfield and there's no comparing anything to
Legion of Boom, Like that's nevergonna happen again. So let's not even
try to recreate that. It itwas a once in a lifetime thing.
I love the fact that we haveexcitement about what we don't know about this
team. Sorry I'm being really annoying. I'm not saying it was stale or
(39:07):
anything, but it wasn't. Atleast we have, you know, a
bridge here to see who is goingto be coming into Phil Holes on the
secondary to Phil Holes on the offensiveline and kind of create what this picture
is going to look like here inabout two three four years here with this
team. But we have so muchopportunity. I am so I am more
(39:27):
excited to watch this team than Iwas after their Super Bowl year, whether
they went back to the Super Bowl, I'm more excited now because there's so
much unknown and we get to learnso much about this this new Seahawks and
Mike McDonald. If there's one thingfor certain, they still have Kenneth Walker,
my nine year olds talking about him, loves watching him, loves some
(39:50):
Jackson Smith and Jigba. Oh he'sgoing to be hanging around here for for
quite a while as well. Ohyeah, they took him in the first
round. The Seahawks do not draftin the first round, and did with
both number five and sixteen, withboth of those guys sixty right where the
sixteen. I think the voicemails arebuilding up right now, Chris, we
have a bunch. I haven't listenedto them yet, but I will start
(40:13):
listening to them. This might easilybe a two segment day a lot.
It might easily be a two segmentday. I don't know, Man,

Chris Kidd and his patience here becausehe was just getting wrecked in the Vegas
category in the NCAA tournament of wouldyou go on vacation with me? Rankings
(02:08):
or were you dead last? Consensus? So to be fair, Bucky said
he had me somewhere in the middleof the pack. Chuck. Also,
Ashley was the one that was yeahKid dead last and it was all over
drinks. Also Yeah, Ashley putme at the end on the bars per
se because you know, I don'tpartake in the in the Devil's juice and
(02:29):
it's okay. But I was like, dang, Ashley. She was like,
sorry, Kid, love you,but I can't. No, there's
just you don't drink. I mean, if I go to Vegas and you
don't want to participate in the juice, the booze. Whatever it is,
Hey, we can still hang out. I'll give you the keys here.
That's corresponsibility, that's what I Youare making my point for me. And
(02:52):
you know, Ashley even poked funtoday on her booze. But it's okay,
you know, Well that's all wedo around here is poked with me
because Ashley has a child. Butthen she wouldn't bring her child who LEAs
Vegas. Yeah, but you're nota child. I would want you there
for the transcript, im into changingseats, but Ashley's not gonna bunch trim

Sully time. Have you had atrip where you couldn't remember anything from Vegas?
Did you wake up and have atiger in your bedroom? I definitely
thought someone who looked like Tim Tebowwas Tim Tebow and he was now my
(03:35):
boyfriends thirteen years ago. I know. We still don't even talk. It's
amazing, best relationship ever. See, here's what I want if I'm going
to Vegas. I want the Crabstables. I want you do I I
can't play Crabs to save my life, but I still I still want to
throw away some money, though,how are you in strip clubs? Huh?
How are you in the strip club? Cannot comment? A few drinks?
(03:59):
Whatmo? Time out? We're goingback to this. What you mean
you cannot comment? You're I can'tremember. No, I can't remember.
See, I'm telling you, gentlemen. If Mike Ben and Iron Vegas,
I am getting Mike cover feet,got it. I'm giving Mike five hundred
dollars cash and we're gonna have aball. I want the Limo. I
want clubs at the top of theGhost Bar in Vegas. I better the
(04:21):
Ghost Bar. It's awesome, same, it's it's freaking rat I love it.
I got brought there by player whowill not be named. You got
to be named later, but yes, uh, an NFL player brought me
where I didn't know. I don'tknow Vegas at all, and I went
to the cool places that apparently peoplego. I've done that. We needed
(04:46):
to not remember it. What's what'sthe one place with the the chandelier in
there? The Paris? I wantto say it's here the Paris, or
it's it's one of the new Ifeel like, oh I have not been
there. I can guarantee you right. I've heard of grand stories about the
Cosmopolitan. So anyway, here's whereI'm getting at in that I want the
(05:11):
full experience. But here's here's theone thing we go through seeding this one
through twelve. And Ian made abig old stink about this yesterday on the
air of why he wasn't ranked highenough. He was not pleased. Did
anybody care to ask the guy sittingover here they call the captain around here
(05:32):
on the Emerald, Queen, CasinoCrack and Audio Network, who came in
today filling in from ten to one? Hey, you know what? Where
where would we see Mike? No? I was waiting around on selection Sunday
here for this. I have beenbanished to the Vegas vacation. Nit not
listed. I think that was unfair. Neither you Al and Fits were all
(05:57):
left off the list. No,seriously, are there there There's a reason
why fitz Al and I get along, Well, it is because we're all
friends. We have gone out,we have partied, we have that good
times. You want to take usto Vegas A four nine, four or
five one? Were you taking ushere? But I got banished. I
got banished to the vacation. NI t I don't think you were banished.
(06:17):
I think you were just left off. Betton, We're all forgetting about
you. Just don't even bother don'teven don't even bother plane. Who was
one? Again? You? You? You were one? Yes, thank
you well deserved crash. I thinkthe Morning Show all agreed Jessamine was number
one. I think that is Ifind people. Softy was definitely high.
(06:41):
I think Puck and Jim we're threeand three and four, four and five,
and then I don't know where Andersonlanded, but somehow Emerson topped me,
which was just I'm turning off mymic. But would would would would
Jim just pull the plug out forabout two or three hours. Though Sam,
I'm going to he's a ghoster.He definitely would be the Irish exitter.
Sure now, no Softy, Iheard you get the full experience here
(07:03):
with Softy. Yeah, you'd haveto go during the right time. The
Huskies have to be on some sortof sick run and there's got to be
something good going on or everything's horrible, and then he just wants the blow
off steam. So it's got tobe one end of the spectrum. I
think for Softy. Can you imagineif the Husky's ever won the national championship
(07:23):
in football, they were Softy,you gotta playing here in Vegas. He
would be on it. I hewould catch the tail. He would literally
fly there outside of the plane ifthat happened. I remember, though,
when when when we all got hereto like the national championship game, and
I swear for about five days hewas having an out of body experience,
(07:45):
and I was like, Hey,the Seahawks are playing Huskies. Oh yeah,
I know, it's funny. Andso I'm an adopted koog as well,
and I you know, I'm allcooog since twenty twelve, I'm adopted,
and I try to make no bonesabout that. However, Uh,
you know, I think it's alittle different out here because professional franchises didn't
(08:09):
come out here as early as theydid where I grew up on the East
Coast. And so you know,Softie didn't go to you Dove, And
I don't think he lies about thator anything, but people give him flack
about it. But I don't knowanyone who has either gone to that university
or not who loves the Huskies morethan Softy. So as an adopted person.
(08:31):
I can run in rank with himand you know, spit in his
face. But that's part of likethe Huskies aura is that you don't have
to go to the University of Washingtonand you've got like generations of stories going
back because they were the original prosports team here before the Seahawks got here,
before the Mariners got here, beforethe Sonics, and now the Kraken
also got here. Ask my dadgrew up in pw allup raised me up.
(08:56):
He raised me on the Adon Jamesera. He was going to games
when more Moon was quarterbacking for them, and they were the only thing around
here. They were the only thingaround here, so right, exactly,
That's why it's different for people whodidn't grow up here, and why Huskies
who didn't go to that school necessarilyare Huskies. And it took me a
(09:18):
really long time to be able tosay that out loud, but I get
it. I get it. Pullman'sdefinitely more my cup of tea. But
that's just me because I like tobeat myself up. I'm trying to I'm
trying to preserve my energy here becauseI'm going bonkers behind this mic. But
yet I'm off about five hours ofsleep and we got to go until about
one o'clock here for today. Oh, so we have so much time to
(09:41):
fill. It's going to be somuch. Well, we'll figure it out
to help us. You know what'sawesome that Puck and Jim do really well
is using the talk back. Soon the iHeartRadio app, you can talk
to us literally like it's a phonecall, but you just hear your voice
on the air. We don't getto talk to you back, which means
there's no repercussions. So go tothat iHeart Radio app and leave us some
(10:03):
messages because it's fun. Yeah,voicemails coming up at eleven thirty. Yeah,
have that much time to twenty threeto three. Oh, I can't
wait. And I'll get to thishere in a bit. Tune in Sunday.
By the way, I want totell you about this March seventeenth,
beginning of three pm for a selectionshows Sunday on Sports rating ninety three point
three KJRFM and the iHeartRadio Apple'll getto that here. We'll be covering all
(10:26):
things March Madness and the NCAA powerby Twin Peaks in Hunts Services. I
had the whole run of like crackinggame last night, got the ping from
the Powers that Bag would you mindhelping out tomorrow? Then went home eleven
o'clock, prep, tried to prep, fell sleep on the couch prepping,
got five hours of sleep, gotin the car and I was like,
(10:50):
wait a minute, say Patrick's Dayis Sunday. I had no idea.
Oh my goodness, Selection Sunday.It's like the perfect that's where I would
want to go. So Vegas usedto fall on Saint Patrick's Day for the
tournament. And it's tournament, bythe way, uh so tournament, tournament.
It's a tournament. I call atournament. Yeah, I know everyone
(11:13):
does too here, But anyway,so used to fall it was like the
perfect circle of things that were happening, you know, the Thursday Friday,
and then Saturday was the tournament andit was Saint Patrick's Day and it was
everything. So that used to bemy jam, and now it's moved.
The tournament is the next weekend.But so, but our Selection Sunday show.
(11:37):
I always love Selection Sunday and thefact that it falls on Saint Patrick's
Day means I have an excuse todrink some whiskey. Ready, maybe get
into my ready cooks, my Tellytime, bust it open, bottoms up,
Cougars, Where are they going?Where are they going? They're into
the semi finals, and I wantto get to the cougars here later on

(13:09):
I was disappointed that I didn't getPete last week. I got Softy twice.
I got GQ Jerry off the top. Also, hy Pete. There.
We need to make Mike Benon's day. So you get on that iHeart
app and you tap that microphone giveus thirty seconds of glory. My one
time in Vegas story. I wantto hear from one of our voicemail characters.
(13:31):
I really thought you were going totell one. Every time you say
that, I'm like, oh,Benon's got some secret. The last time
I was in Vegas and could rememberanything outside of work, it had to
have been when I was working inthe minor leagues of hockey and it was
in the ECHL and they hold leaguemeetings like every year out there in Vegas.
(13:52):
They used to go around like theywent from Las Vegas one year to
Atlanta, then back to Vegas nextyear, then back to Atlanta again,
and then after about a couple oftimes, we're like, yeah, we're
gonna have a little more fun inLas Vegas. So I think my the
(14:13):
the longest night I had there,which I can remember, it involved a
piano bar at New York, NewYork. Yeah, and the place was
jammed. It was packed. Therewas like maybe two hundred people from like
every team jammed in that place.Requests are going, drinks are going.
All of a sudden, I seethis large congregation just outside of the front
(14:35):
doors. And you know, thisis back like in two thousand and eight.
This is this is before the iPhonewas becoming a big thing with cameras
and all that, and so wehad all the flip phones all flipping up,
and I was like, who's that? Who's that guy who was trying
to, you know, hug somebody, but he's not. It was Howie
Mandel. Oh, I was takingthe guy who put a glove on his
(14:58):
head like that guy. It washow he. Oh, my goodness,
that was the guy at the time. He was. It was Howie Mandel
taking pictures with people like the imageof dates. Now it was it was
two thousand eight. I want tosay, two thousand and eight, Halli
Mandel. Is that big a deal? That's awesome? Deal or no deal?
Remember yes, I do. Iforgot that he hosted that. I
(15:18):
don't know that the height of dealor no deal. So he's taken pictures
with people out there. He's areally nice guy. He's a super nice
guy for but he doesn't like totouch people. So he's kind of got
like the like the a leaning thing, but I'm not going to touch it
type of thing, like the lingeringhand. No, you don't even touch
anybody. Yeah, he was kindof like leaning over and take a picture,
(15:39):
but there was like about twenty fivepeople in line to take pictures.
Though. I mean you would knowbecause people are constantly lining up with you,
but you have it down not aslong as you're lying though, not
as long as Jess's line over hereperfected the art of it. He was
just very new at it at thetime. There's like twenty five people in
(16:00):
to get a picture of Hallie Mandeland he's like doing the whole lean over
here, and you can tell like, yeah, let's get this done.
I just want to get out ofhere. Well, you just wanted to
go in, he said, youwere outside of a casino. When you
saw it, he'd probably just wantedto go inside of it. It was
New York, New York. Right, Yeah, it was in the middle
of New York, New York.But then again, if you want privacy,
what are you doing in the middleof New York, New York.
Though, that's unfair, that's unfairfor famous people not to be able to
(16:23):
go out and enjoy the things uspleaves do. But what do you expect?
I mean, I'll put to youthis way, I'll walk back.
Okay, you can go wherever youwant to go. Now, if you
want privacy, you've got to knowwhat to expect. Then you're acting like
a guy. You're acting like ajerk. If you have the privacy screen,
(16:44):
I will okay, I'll give youan example if you don't mind me
taking us farther off the rails.So nothing, Oh my gosh, I'm
so glad that we're leaning into that. So I have gone to Super Bowl
parties right at the Super Bowl andyou know, the days before the biggest
ones, and I you know,I've I've got Brett Farrest standing over there
(17:06):
and wranglers and I've got you know, every head coach there who is not
coaching in this game. And theydidn't care at all. And it was
the coolest thing ever, because everyonekind of knew. And then a former
quarterback came through with like a posseof twenty three people, and it was
looked down upon because that was hisprivacy. Right. Oh, we're just
(17:29):
going to this room in this room, and that person couldn't be bothered with
with the crowd who didn't give acrap because all of these Hall of famers
are around us anyway. We've gotthe biggest stars in movies and comedy also
around it, and we're just shootingthe crap with each other. And then
this person has his privacy screen andhis little guru and twenty three people following
him from room to room, andnobody can talk to him that I'm sorry.
(17:55):
The privacy screen can scream things thatmake you look protectious. If you're
going to be out in public withabout roughly ten people saying, don't touch
this guy, don't borrow this guy, what's the point. Why? How
tough are you? Then this isan NFL quarterback, so's the point of
it? Just like, okay,bring your offensive line. Then at least
(18:15):
that shows more to me than anythingelse. Has anybody had an experience like
that? Four nine, four orfive one and try to meet someone famous
and you get stonewall by about tenpeople saying, now, do not even
look at him. Oo ooh,do not him him or her? What.
I have a good story that Iactually I pretended to be that person
at the New York super Bowl andI guess it was the twenty thirteen season,
(18:38):
so it was technically twenty fourteen.And I had my friend who's a
comedian, and I was walking himin and I was like, I know
how to get you in here.I only had to take it for myself
to go to the super Bowl party. So I walked him down the red
carpet and literally did that and said, no, you cannot, you cannot.
He will do interviews over here.He did like four interviews then,
(19:02):
thinking he was he was wearing aJohn Ryan jersey and there were people asking
him, are you out too lateto be playing in the game too?
So you know, you're given yourtake. You're given your take four nine,
four five one. So we're gonnaget to this Vegas thing here again.
I got left out in the cold. I don't have a usual show
(19:22):
six to ten, ten to oneian Softi's you're just every squat as well.
I'm just they call me out ofthe bullpen and say, hey,
can you help out whenever you can. I want to be a good team
player. So I got left outinto the vacation. N I T So
I want to hear from your voicemailfriends, your best, my your your
your best, my one time inVegas story, Go ahead and make it
(19:45):
up. Chris get is gonna haveto get to work here to try to
keep this PG rated as much aspossible. So old done, are you
alive? We haven't heard from youenough? You have you got? I'm
actually finding more music. Okay,all right, all right there he's getting
busy. He's getting busy. Thebig old jacket and everything too. This
(20:06):
is such a good jacket. Thisman came to work here today. I
did, he did. I botheredhim so much yesterday and then he didn't
like I did because that's my natureand I'm an overproducer and he goes,
no, that's not what the showis. So uh And then I found
out I was working with you.I never turned down a chance to tag
(20:30):
team with Jessmon McIntyre, really,yes, happy, never ever ever turn
it down. I might be themost sloppy dressed guy here in studio here,
by the way. But at leastit's something to talk about because I'm
wearing an old throwback hockey jersey herefrom my very first job in the minor
leagues, the Stockton Thunder, theThunder eight years eight years in Stockton.
(20:52):
I brought the Thunder here. Dadjoke, Boy, he's got it.
Jill got it. I thought,you know what, if I'm gonna come
on here from ten to one,there's at least something to talk about and
take this show even more off therails. It can't get anymore off the
rails here at this point, though. Yeah, we're trying really hard to
go off. So because this usuallyis the show of breaking news, the
(21:15):
show of record, we do wantto. I think we're I think we
are the last show to get tothe whole sam Hell thing with the trade
from the Washington Commanders to the Seahawks. So we're gonna get to that,
and also some Seahawks needs ever itfits. You also will be along at
noon. He's got cracking things.He's got detroit Lyons things. Also,
(21:37):
they just recently extended Dan Campbell.I believe, so Fitz has got a
lot to talk about all some morenonsense. Tough loss with the crack in
last night to one of the Washingtoncapitals, which pushes them even closer and
closer here to playoff elimination than itdoes here to a playoff spot. Nine
points back and seventeen games to go. They have Nashville and they have of
(22:00):
Buffalo as well coming up here onthis homestand ending Monday. They've had some
key losses, but that was atough one to take because there was a
lot of unforced airs and a lotof mistakes that ultimately could have been a
one nothing wins to turn into atwo to one loss. So we'll get
to fits in just a bit.Voicemails again eleven thirty I got an idea
(22:22):
here for the tweet of the dayeleven forty five coming up, and it
involves golf with Michael Jordan and doyou want to level up with him?
I can't wait for that one.We're gonna give two more here in just
a bit. I'm in for puckingJim, Mike Jessemine, Chris Kid as
well here on ninety three three kJRFM. This just crossing the wire about
(22:45):
an hour ago or so. Firstballot Hall of Famer without question. Aaron
Donald has announced his retirement from theNFL the La Rams as well. Guy
who just changed the game all overthe place. Ten time pro bowler,
eight time First Team All Pro,three time Defensive Player of the Year,
(23:07):
Aaron Donald announcing his retirement after tenNFL seasons. Let me hear to checking
out the tellmore dude text line,Chris Kid are gonna get to work on
this. I think from the twoto zero eight we have to have a
Geno Atino's voicemail celebrating Aaron Donald's retirement. We have. Oh, I can't
(23:30):
wait for eleven thirty voicemails. Ican't see. All we have to do
is just ask, hey, friends, would you mind pitching a little bit
here for some content? Think aboutit. You get to have your voice
heard over the radio. This iswhy I love this show. This is
why I love this show. Wehave willing participants. I don't want to
(23:53):
say off the bench. Vaca's backnow, Yes, she went to the
store. Is that a metaphor?You know what? Maybe I got you
some goodies. Maybe I don't havethem anymore? Now you know my thing?
Yeah? No one meal a die. I can't buy you snacks anymore.
You just missed this, by theway, So we had the Aaron
Donald think come across about him retiring, Yeah, after ten seasons, and
(24:17):
interesting, we're getting Chris Kid towork and the voicemails are coming in already
here for eleven thirty. We mayhave to go to two segments here for
this. I would love that.I love extra voicemails because there's so much
might be an all timers show thatwe just basically said we're gonna roll it.
Okay, we ball and it mightbe a two segment voicemail day,
but we have one here from thetwo o eight saying we need to have
(24:38):
a gino at Dino's voicemail celebrating AaronDonald's retirement. I think that, Yeah,
who wants to come? Who wantsto come to that party? I
mean really, I mean I thinkthere's offensive lineman a bound who would really
love that. Okay, So Ithink that's the appropriate time for a guy
(25:02):
of his stature and of his legacyto retire. But sometimes it's hard for
people to let go. And Iwould bring Bobby Wagner into that conversation as
well, because I thought he wouldretire as Seahawk. I'm not saying he
doesn't have the chops. He canstill play. I just thought that after
this season he would go out ontop, especially with the team where he
was born and bred. How differentwould this be if Pete Carroll was still
(25:25):
hear, that's a good question.It's a body Wagener still be here four
nine one, I think so.I do the different regime, different decision
makers, and we're seeing a differentteam already emerge because of this. Bobby
Wagner will be a Hall of Famer. He will be on that Wall of
Fame cro Bowl. Absolutely absolutely itis. And and the fact that he
(25:51):
came back too, because I youknow, in his departure when he went
to the Rams, he definitely feltdisrespected by the team at the time,
where they were kind of like,go do what you want instead of hey,
we need you. But he cameback and when the Rams played here,
he went right over to that lockerroom and said, you know,
(26:12):
like there was no love lost,which I think is a huge sign of
maturity and a person who you'd wantin a locker room. So when he
came back, I really thought thatthat was going to be the last place
he played He's mister Seahawk for sure. He is, and I think he
always will be. Yeah, AndI think he knows that in his heart
too. And I love the factthat in his heart he still wants to
(26:33):
play and he deserves to. Tuesday, tune in March nineteenth, beginning at
one pm four Bracketology broadcast live fromno Qualm Casino, presented by Hunt Services,
Twin Peaks, the Evergreen Council onProblem Gambling ends no Qualm Casino,
a show to help you fill outyour bracket and discuss which games to bet
(26:53):
on. We're gonna be talking alot more about this here today, well,
the Seahawk thing. We're the lastshow of record, and funny enough
ironic because this is usually the showup breaking news right here on these airways.
Were the last one to talk aboutthe Sam Halle to the Seahawks trade.
That one. Yeah, that happenedright at about like one oh five
pm. It was right after wegot off the air yesterday. Ian broke
(27:15):
it. And all Ian had todo was just reach out and say,
would you just my holding off onthe news until about a little after war
yeah just gets him. Please congratulationsIan, because it was awesome but you
know, there are some sources outthere who had said to me and others
that the Seahawks were not going todraft a quarterback, and I took that
(27:40):
as not using sixteen right. Notokay, they're not going to drive,
but they weren't going to draft anyand they trade for a guy who was
completely off of all of our radars. All of our radars. We didn't
see this coming except the one biggame he had here when when the Seahawks
faced the Commanders, we did.They was slinging it. He was,
(28:00):
and so they saw it. Butyou know, it's not like Mike McDonald
was here at that time. Hewasn't tracking that, and so who knows.
I mean, he was writing Baltimore, so maybe he got a better
look than we did. Well,I mean, I'll put to you this
way here. One thing's for sure. We can just put this whole Michael
Pennox to the Seahawks thing too bad. Forget it. It's fine, I
(28:22):
know. I mean, I'll bethe first ad that I was kind of
cut up with the whole hooplah aboutall this. I mean, my nine
year old son loves NFL football.Now he's talking about it all the time,
he's educated me more on c.J. Strout than what I knew
about c. J. Strout aboutprobably twelve months ago. But let's put
to you this way. Yes,the narrative was fun about Ryan Grubb taking
(28:44):
over this offense. I loved it. I craved it. I wanted more
of the juicy story lines in behindthe whole thing about going from the Huskies
out to Alabama and flipping right backhere into town. But how you run
an offense in college is different thanhow you run an offense in the NFL.
And we had to look at thisfrom the eyes of sure, Ryan
Grubb will have this soft spot forMichael Pennox, but ultimately, what is
(29:08):
he going to do that is goingto be best here for the Seattle Seahawks
And can Pennex fit in this scheme? We don't know, but we know
one thing's for sure. There havebeen conversations, likely conversations up We've got
to have a guy behind Geno Smith. Without question, Geno is QB one
and now Sam hal is QB two, And they figure that this is more
of the safer route to go.Yeah, and I agree, And I
(29:30):
just don't think that they have thedraft capital to do what they want to
do at quarterback and also fill theholes that they have there. They you
know, we clearly know the offensiveline needs work, and the interior offensive
line is very very heavy in thisdraft. They have their tackles. If
(29:51):
they're healthy, we know we're goodto go. So if we're looking at
guards, the ridiculous amount of moneythat has been spent in free agency on
guards, I would be not happyif the Seahawks had done that. They
need linebackers, yeah, you know, they need help like all over the
place right now. Yeah, butthey have their structure right. This isn't
a rebuild. And that's what makesme so excited about the Seahawks season and
(30:15):
also about this signing. I don'tknow anything about Sam Howell except for what
I can read on paper or paperis now the internet so beaten up out
there in Washington. He did getthat offensive line, he did, he
didn't. They're going through their ownrebuild as well, so it made sense
for both Washington's I guess for thistrade, I didn't love it when I
(30:40):
saw it. I went, huh, okay, But that's kind of the
moves that the Seahawks under John Schneider'sreign have made are ones that don't blow
your socks off. So so herehere's where I go with this, and
that you have to add to theoffensive line for protection. There's a big
need right there and they need helpwith their back seven. On defense,
(31:03):
you want to take a swing atan old lineman, what about Kevin Zeidler,
Raven, Mike McDonald connection there andlineman who get older are still useful.
He was good at protecting Lamar Jackson. I mean PFF had him at
an eighty two point five pass blockinggrade. So there's a stopgap. But
I think there's something there with familiarityand that you can pick him up.
(31:26):
He's useful, he's trusted, he'ssecure, he's going to help you out
trying to get the protection here.Yeah, for a Gino Smith and Sam
hell, I wouldn't mind that,or at least bring him into camp if
he's still on the market, youwould think that he at least could have
an invite. But you're looking atMike McDonald, the defensive guy. But
he did go against him his teamas a defensive coordinator. His guys went
(31:49):
against that guy every single day,so he would have a good read on
it that would tell us a littlebit more about it. This is kind
of the fun thing is that,you know, there's so much help all
over running. Yes, you nailedto men, and it's not as if
this team isn't a full blown rebuildhere, but they're having to just fill
a few pieces over and over andover because I mean, we're a long
way away from the legion of boomEra, but there's still a feeling that
(32:10):
you can fill a few holes here. You're on the right track to getting
back to you know, where youwere and where you want to be about
roughly two or three years from now. I mean in the in the secondary.
A name that comes to mind toohere for me again four nine four
five one Cameron curl Oh strong safetyfor the Commanders. Yeah. I hadn't
thought about Cameron. It was asgood as a rookie. Yeah, he
(32:30):
hasn't had an interception in three seasons, so I mean that that's a bit
concerning. He's got exposed in TDcoverage. But he was in the middle
of a bad defense out there.That's what sucks about you know, certain
you know, it's it's units ona team, regardless of the you know,
projection or the end game of winsand losses. You can be a
(32:52):
fantastic player and being a bad schemefor you or just being on a bad
defense or offense. And that isan frigging name to bring up. Now,
he's twenty four years of age,but I mean again, versatility matters.
He's got it and he's physical.So yeah, I know we've been
to the Jamal Adams saying it he'sphysical. Well, we saw what happened
(33:14):
there. Well how about this guy, Cameron Curl? Yeah, respond,
Jamal Adams is a headliner too,and he ate up every drop of We've
been down that road over and over. You know what I like, though,
is when you pull names out ofthe hat, it happens. You
did it with Ryn Stanley. Yeah, I called it that. I called
it, you did that, andit happened. This is show. This
(33:37):

The twenty twenty four contest courtesy TwinPeaks, Hunt Services, Zeke's Pizza
Everreen Council on Problem Gambling, HigherConstruction and whistle Work where I want to
thank a few people here for callingme out and issuing a correction on this
(36:09):
because Cameron curl is off the boardnow he has gone to the Rams.
It was nice to think of that, maybe, but Cameron Curll off here
to the Rams officially on his deal, so he is a free agent that
has officially now been spoken for twoyears at thirteen million dollars as well.
Oh Julian blood deal. Julian Blackman'sstill out there, Okay, curious about
(36:32):
him. Maybe Julian Blackman, youwant to go for him? One of
the few key free agents the Cultshave not signed on their roster. That's
an enormous hole on their defense.So that's a big hole to fill on
their secondary. You would think thatAndy would probably be having those conversations too,
right, like, that's already happening. I think that the Seahawks did
(36:54):
so many things in free agency thatwe're close to home, and that almost
made me worried where I'm like,is this Mike McDonald's team or is it
John Schneider's team, Because it waseveryone that they signed with someone who was
already there or was previously there.And then all of a sudden, Sam
Howell, Okay, you're not goingquarterback in the draft. This is amazing.
(37:17):
So I don't think they're going tobe too active in free agency anymore.
Let let's just be real. Imean, I also want to first
touch on the QB thing that thisis going to be a stopgap thing.
I mean, this is basically justa way to get through this next you
know, a couple of years here. If they find their guy at quarterback.
They'll find their guy, but Idon't think it's gonna happen here for
this first round. Do you thinkSam Howell is the next Geno Smith as
(37:39):
what they had him as, andall of a sudden, he actually I
couldn't believe, a competence starter.I couldn't believe I heard that he's a
future franchise quarterback that was actually spokenon these airwaves twenty four hours ago,
and I thought, Sam Howe,wish for thinking. You have so many
what ifs? So but it's somany What is so exciting with new regime?
(38:00):
Too? We don't know what RyanGrubb's offense looks like on a professional
spectrum, So I kind of I'mexcited about this season because we're all what
if in a team that is notin disrepair. We have a very successful
team that has its bones, hasits structure, and we'll see what these
(38:20):
young guys and you know what,I don't know if I'm the only one
that thinks about him. I'm soexcited for a healthy Mike Morris that defensive
and from Michigan can play. Andthey shut him down for a reason.
He had health issues and so hewas kept healthy for an entire year.
I can't wait to see what hedoes. And then you had spooning you
(38:45):
or two. All of a suddenthat backfield and there's no comparing anything to
Legion of Boom, Like that's nevergonna happen again. So let's not even
try to recreate that. It itwas a once in a lifetime thing.
I love the fact that we haveexcitement about what we don't know about this
team. Sorry I'm being really annoying. I'm not saying it was stale or
(39:07):
anything, but it wasn't. Atleast we have, you know, a
bridge here to see who is goingto be coming into Phil Holes on the
secondary to Phil Holes on the offensiveline and kind of create what this picture
is going to look like here inabout two three four years here with this
team. But we have so muchopportunity. I am so I am more
(39:27):
excited to watch this team than Iwas after their Super Bowl year, whether
they went back to the Super Bowl, I'm more excited now because there's so
much unknown and we get to learnso much about this this new Seahawks and
Mike McDonald. If there's one thingfor certain, they still have Kenneth Walker,
my nine year olds talking about him, loves watching him, loves some
(39:50):
Jackson Smith and Jigba. Oh he'sgoing to be hanging around here for for
quite a while as well. Ohyeah, they took him in the first
round. The Seahawks do not draftin the first round, and did with
both number five and sixteen, withboth of those guys sixty right where the
sixteen. I think the voicemails arebuilding up right now, Chris, we
have a bunch. I haven't listenedto them yet, but I will start
(40:13):
listening to them. This might easilybe a two segment day a lot.
It might easily be a two segmentday. I don't know, Man,
