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

This is Brock and Salk. Brock you are just by hero. Just punch me in the kidney power through the Alaska airline studio on Seattle sports.

We're going to you here a minute. That way, sure, this is a show that has my name on it. Brock you by Carter, Volkswagen and Ballard. Now here are your hosts, Brock you are and Mike Salk.

Hello. All right. Well, the five hour here, Brock and Salk, Seattle sports on seven 10 Seattle sports.com God, the KJ hour is so fun, man. What an awesome treat. I got to be honest. I love the opportunity to just kind of get behind the scenes.

I don't know you guys know me. You know some of my heroes in this business and the people that I listen to and and appreciate. And I am an unabashed fan of what Howard Stern does and I'm sure there are times where you can hear something I do.

I'll be stole that from Howard. I probably do. I fully admit it. I do a different style radio show than he does. Obviously, but I think he is the greatest gift in this in this business.

And I listen to his new interviews that he does. I think they're phenomenal. I think he's as good an interviewer as there is out there. I listen to guys. I don't even like I don't like Paul Simon.

I listen to Paul Simon for like an hour the other day because I couldn't turn it off. I like Simon and Garfunkel. I always thought I just like dark Garfunkel. But I don't like Paul Simon. I was fascinated by this interview. Anyway, I love the way he gets behind the scenes and because he's genuinely curious, at least he comes off that way about what's going on in places that you can't get to.

And I am just I'm naturally I love that. And every time he's, you know, asking Paul, okay, so you were there. And what was it like when you met, you know, the rolling stones and I just I can't wait to hear those answers. I love the same thing with KJ.

So I try to think about it that way of like what would Howard ask this guy? I think he would want to know what it's like when they all get together and they all hang out. I could have gone a full hour honestly.

Just of asking him questions about 2013 team getting together because I just I love getting that little inside insight into it.

This also speaks to like how how fascinated you are by front offices and GMs and a lot of that. So this is the other side of it.

Yes. Right. Like you get to hear some of the pieces that you don't hear from the X and X's and O's. And that is so interesting to guys like you and obviously I'm a fan.

And we don't dig into, you know, like his personal life like Howard might or anything like that. But I just I think the way he does that. And I hope to try to emulate it because I think he does a heck of a job with it.

I've come anywhere even near that. I would take it as a gigantic compliment. But hearing those stories of, you know, who got big, who looks great.

How about KJ in the body show? I can't I can't help I love it. I love getting that little inside access.

What those guys are doing talking about. We just just in case we ever talked to squeeze. Just just in case.

And if you missed a minute of that, go back and listen to the KJ interview. It's all up at Seattle sports.com or wherever you get your podcasts, right? Apple podcast, Google podcast. You name it. Go check it out because the honest. I love the whole thing was great hour.

The first 15 minutes of it to me were just awesome. Yeah.

If I were a Seahawk fan who who wasn't listening to that, I would have to hear that.

I love the fact that you hear this a lot with people who make art, right? And they're like, Oh, I get to experience it with sort of fresh years when when you grow up and change. So like 10 years later, you get to watch the Super Bowl.

Like you get to watch an iconic moment that when you're so present for you don't have the 30,000 foot view of it until you get to, you know, have some time away.
