Hey, thanks for downloading the Brock and Salk podcast. We're psyched to be back and really proud to have this podcast powered by a

Sen Prime steak and sushi elevated dining with panoramic views and downtown Bellevue. Now on to the show.

This is Brock and Salk. Brock, you heard and Mark, Matt, Marcus, sorry about Mike, Mike, presented by Carter, Volkswagen and Baller and Seattle Sports. Power through the Alaska Airlines studio.

You heard that exactly Joe Kat there in the pocket. Now here are your hosts, Brock, you heard and Mike Salk.

All right, final hour of our week here on the Brock and Salk show, which means we'll have some open phone lines coming up in 30 minutes, 866, 9793776. You want to talk to Mariners, Seahawks, Huskies before the weekend, whatever is on your mind will be ready to take some calls at 930.

But even though it's a football Friday, which of course is powered by this in the Kwame Casino Sports book, our friends bump in Stacey are over at the stadium today getting ready for the Mariners game and the Mariners weekend.

So Stacey Ross is joining us from there. Hi, Stacey. Good morning. Hi, Mike. Good morning. I'm sorry. I'm not Shannon. We swapped in one pint size person for another pint size first.

I know both of your names with us. It was just I totally get it. We both drive a symbol to work. You know what I mean? It's like the little Stuart little car. Right?

You never know when you might fall down the drain. I pulled up in a toy car. And it was just baby. Well, I feel all the way up to the booth. I feel like maybe after seeing you next to the big show earlier this week.

I can't get that image out of my head. I was standing on my tiptoes in that photo. No, that's the word. I swear. I swear to God.

That's a mistake. You should have kept him as like as low you should have been as short as possible. I know. I know I know I'm that's honestly my biggest regret of the week.

And I've made a lot of mistakes was standing on my tiptoes in a photo next to someone who's seven feet tall because it really, really would have been better just completely as we were.

What is it like talking to that guy as you?

Oh, my God. He was so cool. He was I was so intimidated. I'm like I he is someone who so I was reading his bio before we had him on and he had the story that really stuck out to me, which was.

And I don't know if you already do it. I wasn't like a huge fan growing up. So a lot of what I've learned about him and those like old school stories was recent.

So he was like a football player on his high school team and then he got into a dispute with the coach. He didn't like the coach. So he quit and then he became a cheerleader to spite him.

And I was like, this is a guy that is really just confident in himself and goes, you know, marches to the beat of his own drum. And that vibe was exactly what he brought to the show. So when he came on, you know, sometimes, you know, you have a guest in studio and you can tell that maybe they're a little bit nervous. And so it makes you more confident because you're trying to help him out.

This was someone that came into studio and I was like, he is super funny and cool and confident. How do I make him want to be my best friend?

It's going to be interesting playing a playing a villain in a role like that. It's got to be pretty darn fun. All right. So you guys are down there today. What's the plan? Why what's the plan down there?

Okay. So for the show for what we're going to talk about. I mean, why are you guys down there? Are you just getting hyped?

We are getting hyped. I think that yesterday and again, I listened to your guys a show and you know, we come on after so we can see the text line. I know people are upset, but you guys were right to handle the show and to handle Jerry's interview the way you did. They're still in this.

And it was one of those things where we started the show yesterday going, hey, it doesn't feel good. However, tonight's game matters.
