Jim's boys and Reese Widman were going to play junior college baseball together.  It was a very important and emotional interview and a must watch/listen if you are a parent. Puck welcomes Mike Garafolo from the NFL Network to the show.  Mike is in the car post a golf range session where he has swore off his 4-iron.  Once they get done talking about golf, Puck and Mike jump right into the Seahawks and the upcoming season and expectations of Sam Darnold.  What version of Sam Darnold will the Seahawks get this season? Darnold is clearly the key cog for the success of the team this year.  Speaking of quarterbacks, how will Caleb Williams deal with tough coaching from new coach Ben Johnson?  Stefon Diggs is catching heat from new coach Mike Vrabel over a pink substance and Mike wraps up his appearance detailing a golfer headed into the range with four Twisted Teas. Back to baseball as Puck brings on Brad Adam of ROOT Sports to talk all things baseball.  M's are back home after a good road trip and have split their first two games against the Nationals.  George Kirby is back but in two starts he has not looked good.  The Nationals continue to reap the benefits of the Juan Soto trade.  Jorge Polanco has cooled way off. Is it regression or is he hurt?  Julio is having a great May and it appears he's getting into summer form before his normal time.  Brad promotes another upcoming edition of his new golf show, “Fairways and Fastballs.”  Is it time for Cole Young to be brought up?  Sure feels like Young is on his way soon. Puck wraps up the show with “Hey, What the Puck!?”  It's time for Cole Young! (1:00) Puck recaps Corey Widman interview (9:45) Mike Garafolo, NFL Network (30:52) Brad Adam, ROOT Sports (1:00:19) “Hey, What the Puck!”
