  Speaker 1: sure that you're sticking to some sort of normal regiment

• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: He's got a great setup for us here at the hotel,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: trying to make it as normal as possible. I know
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: things are a little bit different, but is trying to
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: keep the same routine and it's been going well so
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: far to start the week off. So just looking forward
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: to you know, as we progress throughout this week and
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: get into the game, Ty.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: How happy are you with the way in which this
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: season has panned out?
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: I Mean, maybe weren't expected to be as big of
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: an influence and contributor as you were, But when you've
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: got the opportunity you've taken and ran with, how how
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: excited are you about the way things are looking right now?
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: And one more game to top this off with a
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: super Bowl ring hopefully.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, doll just overall with the whole team's success.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: And then, you know, just being able to play my
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: part and do my role whatever is asked of me.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Just being able to kind of be given opportunities and
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: knock them out of the park when I can. And
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: it's it's just been a blessing.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: It's been. It's been rather fascinating to watch you evolve
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: as a player. You know, it just seemed like you
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: got better every single week for this football team. And
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: so what do you chalk that up to just the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: experience or does it take a little while to understand
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Mike McDonald's complex defense.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's a culmination of a lot of
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: different things. I think, you know, kind of the whole
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: mentality of work while you wait, and then just gaining
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: on experience weekend and week out, and then ultimately just
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: continuing to build the trust of my teammates and the
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: coaching staff. All of that, you know, coming together has
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: really just helped tremendously in terms of my progression as
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: a player and as a person.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: What's the feel right now over there? I mean, you
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: guys are probably getting done with or heading down the
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: backstretch of kind of your media obligations like this because
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: it's a different week super Bowl week obviously, and getting
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: ready to kind of really dial it in. But what's
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: the feel? Is it a kind of a calmb before
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: the storm or you know, I envision like all of
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: you guys like stalking prey, like a cat sneaking up
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: on its prey. What's the feeling over there?
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: For us, and we've been preaching this all year and
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: it's no different coming into this week where it's just
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: like this loose and focused mentality that we have. We
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: have such a tight knit group and you know, we
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: we have so much fun coming to work and seeing
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: each other and so just kind of this loose and
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: focus mentality throughout the week.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Who's the most focused of your teammates, and who is
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the loosest. Who's the guy that you have the most difficulty,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: you know, stopping from horsing around.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think we have necessarily a problem with
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: any of that. I would say the most focused is
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I'd have to give that one to Cooper Cup. That
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: guy is dialed in day in and day out. And
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: then I would say just a guy who brings the
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: most energy, but very focused and detail oriented as well
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: as spoon like. He's just he brings such a tremendous
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: amount of energy. I always says, it's infectious. You know,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: he brings energy and everybody throughout the team and it's awesome.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: But he's also very dialed in. So those two guys
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: are a great example of Ah, you know, I've had
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: to approach work in the day out.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I read between the lines, Sam Donald won't just stop,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, you know, uh, horse playing around, you know,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: popping towels.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Putting undergarments in the freezer.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Right, he's always dialed in.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Uh. Ty Ocotta is our guest right here on Chuck
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: and Buck in the morning. Some you know, you brought
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: up Cooper Cup and I'm sitting here and I'm I'm
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: reading over your resume. Uh, I do wonder because I
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: know Cooper Cup I'm not sure he ever thought that
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: there was a chance as a young man that he'd
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: be playing in a Super Bowl, much less Super Bowl MVP.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I know it's a dream of
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: anybody that plays football in the backyard, but when did
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: it start to feel a reality that someday ty Okada
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: might actually play in the Super Bowl.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Gosh, you know, in terms of the Super Bowl, I
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: mean coming in with this team and just seeing the
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: the tight end group that we had and just the
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: camaraderie that we built in the culture that coach Mike
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: has has built here, I felt like we definitely had
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: something special. I definitely think that it was more of
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: a process over results based approach for us. So it
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: wasn't necessarily like, hey, this is what we're looking at
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: every single day. It's more like, Hey, these are things.
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: That we gotta do.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: These are things that we got to knock out on
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: a day to day basis. And I think that this
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: team has done a tremendous, tremendous job.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Of doing that.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: But I would say in terms of like just individually
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I always tell this story. The teammate of mine that
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I think of that comes to mind as Rashid chi Heat.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: I had the opportunity to play against him in college
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: my junior year, his senior year, and then just to
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: see the success that he had his rookie season in
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: the league. I think for me that was very eye opening, like, okay,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: you know what, you know, I competed against this guy.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: He's an amazing player, and we had some great battles
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: in college. I think, you know, I could go out
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: and do this.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Is there any part of you guys, maybe the we
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: just had Terrell Davis on he was talking about back
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: in his day. There's a group of them call themselves
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: the misfits, maybe the late draft picks and from smaller
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: schools some of them.
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: Is there any is it?
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: Do you guys kind of gang up together, band together
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: some of you guys, you and Cooper and Rashid like
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: that where it's just you know that you're coming from
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: a little bit more of an underdog situation.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: No doubt. We actually have a group here. We call
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: ourselves the Breakfast Club because we're typically the first.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: In the building.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: It's Pat Drake and I and We just we get
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: breakfast together super early in the morning around five forty
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: five six at the facility every day and we talk shop,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: you know, whether it's football or just life, and it's
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: fun kind of reflecting on our stories, all three undrafted guys,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: and just you know what it took to get here
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: in the work that still needs to be done, but
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: it's been a blasketting to go through that with that group.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Well, that movie was made long before you were born,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and I'm not even sure if you've seen it.
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Maybe you just thought Breakfast Club was a cute little nickname.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: You didn't even know it was a movie. But I'm
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: gonna risk gasking it anyway. Of that group, are you

• 11:10
  Speaker 1: eight almost at eight on Sports Radio ninety three point
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: three kJ R FM to.
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: Our live coverage from Radio Row in San Francisco, brought
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: to you by Delta Airlines, by snow Colney Casino and Hotel,

  Speaker 5: by the Evergreen Council on Problem Gambling. People come first,
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: Construction Group and by Toyodav Kirkland. Here's Chuck and Budd.
• 11:34
  Speaker 9: Sam has got to this point. We were there to
• 11:37
  Speaker 9: help as of with the aller players. But I think
• 11:40
  Speaker 9: you know, Sam's story is a little bit more in
• 11:42
  Speaker 9: the lime light than all of our all of our
• 11:43
  Speaker 9: all of our stories. But that's that's made him who
• 11:46
  Speaker 9: he is today, and I think he would share the
• 11:48
  Speaker 9: same sentiment with you. I think our role in the
• 11:51
  Speaker 9: whole thing is to be supportive. You don't believe in him.
• 11:54
  Speaker 9: There's a lot of things that we saw in Sam
• 11:57
  Speaker 9: that that we loved, and he's lived up to those things.
• 12:00

  Speaker 1: There you go, wait a minute, what we did we
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: jump off?
• 14:23
  Speaker 8: Just dropped out from minute? Yep, we're back.
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: Okay, just got ten seconds in a minor heart attack
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: for me.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: But all right, yeah, well well I actually started panicking, Matt.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: That means we all panic at that.
• 14:34
  Speaker 10: Stay pressure player, pressure player, Actually job way to keep
• 14:38
  Speaker 10: your eye on the prize.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: You know that freak up there on the stage. Gronkowski.
• 14:42
  Speaker 10: I think McKay Adams, I do know Gronk. Uh, he's
• 14:49
  Speaker 10: the best. You know, he played for like the Evil
• 14:52
  Speaker 10: Empire and the Patriots and the heyday when everyone wanted
• 14:54
  Speaker 10: to hate him. But I just got to say, like,
• 14:56
  Speaker 10: when you study film as an NFL football player, the
• 14:58
  Speaker 10: way they tell you to do with his nameless faces.
• 15:01
  Speaker 10: So as an example, we're watching the Patriots, we're looking
• 15:04
  Speaker 10: at number eighty seven. We're not saying Gronk, We're not
• 15:06
  Speaker 10: saying Rob. We're just saying eighty seven for the Patriots.
• 15:09
  Speaker 10: And it's impossible not to respect the way that guy
• 15:13
  Speaker 10: played like he was everything you looking for. My dad
• 15:16
  Speaker 10: was a tight end, and you know he played with
• 15:18
  Speaker 10: some great tight ends in his career, from Todd Christiansen
• 15:21
  Speaker 10: with the Raiders and Russ Francis and the Patriots, and
• 15:23
  Speaker 10: Steve Jordan with the Vikings and Mark Bavarro, you know,
• 15:26
  Speaker 10: with the Giants. And I think that Mark Bavaro and
• 15:29
  Speaker 10: Rob Gronkowski are very similar type players.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, people forget about Mark Bavarro in the all time
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: tight Ends conversation because he had a shorter career. He
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: was unbelievable.
• 15:39
  Speaker 10: Yeah, and and he didn't put himself out there very much.
• 15:41
  Speaker 10: He didn't want to talk, he didn't. He kind of
• 15:43
  Speaker 10: had a Marshawn Lynch quality, the old Marshawn Lynch when
• 15:46
  Speaker 10: he was still playing, when he was there, just so
• 15:48
  Speaker 10: he didn't get fined. Now Marshan's everywhere and wants to
• 15:50
  Speaker 10: talk to everybody.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: What does I feel like coming back to these things
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: after having been through it but not on this side.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: I mean, you've been on this side for a while,
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: but still just the idea of being a player and
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: now you're getting to do the side of it.
• 16:03
  Speaker 10: There's incredible energy at a super Bowl, just incredible energy.
• 16:06
  Speaker 10: And so there's there's almost like two events. There's the
• 16:08
  Speaker 10: Super Bowl, there's the you know, the game that you're
• 16:11
  Speaker 10: playing in, and as a player, that's a whole other experience.
• 16:14
  Speaker 10: You know, the players are down in San Jose, Santa Clara,
• 16:17
  Speaker 10: They're way down there, and it's almost like an hour away.
• 16:20
  Speaker 10: So and then there's the experience of everybody else that
• 16:22
  Speaker 10: goes through the week of the Super Bowl. Most of
• 16:24
  Speaker 10: the people here don't even stay for the game. They
• 16:26
  Speaker 10: go they go home. Casey Keller goal goaltender. I think
• 16:29
  Speaker 10: I'm working on my peripheral vision.
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: Is that who that was?
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: You never know.
• 16:33
  Speaker 10: So so there's that experience, and and honestly, I would
• 16:37
  Speaker 10: say my advice to you guys and anybody I would see,
• 16:40
  Speaker 10: I would say, pace yourselves. It's a it's a long week,
• 16:43
  Speaker 10: it's late nights, it's early morning, and it's a lot
• 16:45
  Speaker 10: of excitement because of things just like that. You see
• 16:47
  Speaker 10: these people that you really respect and admire, who are at
• 16:49
  Speaker 10: the top of their profession in all different ways.
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: It's it's a lot of fun.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: What do you go through as a quarterback. It's Wednesday
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: right now, you're playing the Super Bowl this Sunday. You
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: don't know yet Matt Hassell that the refs are gonna
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: screw you on Sunday. You don't even have that in
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: your in your you know, mirror at this stage. So
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Sam's getting ready for his first Super Bowl. He didn't
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen on Wednesday. Where would you advise
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: him to be right now?
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: Mentally fine?
• 17:15
  Speaker 10: Downtime, fine, downtime, Like you know, Coach Holmgren was great
• 17:18
  Speaker 10: about giving us great advice about, like for me, saving
• 17:21
  Speaker 10: my voice, getting my energy level down. One thing I did,
• 17:25
  Speaker 10: I checked into my hotel. I took the remote control
• 17:29
  Speaker 10: on my television. Okay, I'm kind of dating myself because
• 17:32
  Speaker 10: the kind of television it was. And I took it
• 17:34
  Speaker 10: and I put it. I dropped it behind the dresser.
• 17:38
  Speaker 10: I was there for the week. I dropped it behind
• 17:40
  Speaker 10: the dresser so I couldn't sit there and just scroll
• 17:42
  Speaker 10: through the.
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: TV the whole time.
• 17:44
  Speaker 10: I literally, if I wanted to change the channel, I
• 17:46
  Speaker 10: had to get myself up out of bed and like
• 17:48
  Speaker 10: manually change the channel like I did when I was
• 17:50
  Speaker 10: a kid. Yeah, and it just for me. It was
• 17:53
  Speaker 10: just like I didn't waste any time sitting there. Just
• 17:55
  Speaker 10: like you know, if there's forty four channels on your
• 17:57
  Speaker 10: TV in a hotel room, just like go around five
• 18:00
  Speaker 10: times and watch a little of this, and watch a
• 18:02
  Speaker 10: little of that. And the other thing they do is
• 18:04
  Speaker 10: they show all the they show all the Super Bowls,
• 18:07
  Speaker 10: you know, like on the NFL network or whatever, they
• 18:08
  Speaker 10: just show all the Super Bowls. And so that was
• 18:10
  Speaker 10: the channel that I left it on, and I just
• 18:12
  Speaker 10: kind of looked for common themes that I saw from
• 18:15
  Speaker 10: the teams that won and the quarterbacks that won, and like,
• 18:18
  Speaker 10: what were some common themes. And I think the main
• 18:20
  Speaker 10: common theme for me was they didn't play not to lose.
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: They cut it loose nice from the get go, and.
• 18:27
  Speaker 10: That was that was That was a good thing for
• 18:29
  Speaker 10: me to kind of decompress and also at the same
• 18:31
  Speaker 10: time learn.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: Did you have moments of like the back and forth
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: emotionally where you're like, I am I feel completely prepared
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: and then other times of oh man, I need I
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: need to study more on that. Did you go back
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: and forth on that or was it one way or
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: the other?
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: Great question.
• 18:46
  Speaker 10: No, it was two weeks to prepare, and by Saturday,
• 18:49
  Speaker 10: I would even say Friday of that first week, I
• 18:52
  Speaker 10: was ready to roll.
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: In fact, the.
• 18:54
  Speaker 10: Harder thing was when Sunday came around. It was like
• 18:56
  Speaker 10: Pavlov's dog, like my mouth was watering. I knew it
• 18:59
  Speaker 10: was seven. They rang the bell, I was ready to go.
• 19:02
  Speaker 10: And so the harder thing was kind of like the
• 19:04
  Speaker 10: Mike Hongren advice, which was great advice, like hey, you
• 19:06
  Speaker 10: need to like calm yourself, pace yourself, like slow this,
• 19:11
  Speaker 10: slow this down. And then the other thing the danger
• 19:14
  Speaker 10: for coaches because they're excited. They got two weeks to
• 19:16
  Speaker 10: put in two game plans essentially, and Mike Homengren was
• 19:19
  Speaker 10: really really good at saying, Okay, if you guys want
• 19:21
  Speaker 10: to put in a new play.
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: Something's got to come out.
• 19:24
  Speaker 10: You know, I don't want to, you know, we go
• 19:26
  Speaker 10: into a game plan with you know, call it two
• 19:27
  Speaker 10: hundred and twenty one plays that I want these guys
• 19:30
  Speaker 10: to know inside and out. We're not going into a
• 19:32
  Speaker 10: game with four hundred plays, right, you know. So we're
• 19:34
  Speaker 10: sticking to our process. We're sticking to like we're not
• 19:38
  Speaker 10: gonna all of a sudden have a three hour practice
• 19:40
  Speaker 10: because we didn't play a game on Sunday. Our practices,
• 19:43
  Speaker 10: if they're an hour and fifty five, they're gonna be
• 19:45
  Speaker 10: an hour fifty five. You know, all that kind of stuff.
• 19:47
  Speaker 10: Try to stay normal as much as possible.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Number eight at eight twenty uh Matt hasselbeckis with us
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: here at Radio row Chucking Buck in the morning Sports
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Radio ninety three point three kJ FM. Well, what is
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: it about New England that maybe because a lot of
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: people are starting to think maybe a Seahawks run away
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: and all of this stuff because of the way the
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Patriots have looked offensively in bad weather the last three games?
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: What is it about New England that Mike McDonald shouldn't
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: be and isn't sleeping on?
• 20:23
  Speaker 10: They're a good team. Like, let's just be real, they're
• 20:25
  Speaker 10: a good team. I don't think people watch them. I
• 20:27
  Speaker 10: don't think people watch them this year. I know on
• 20:29
  Speaker 10: the national scale. I listen to people talk about them.
• 20:32
  Speaker 10: Even today. I might walk over here. I'm listening to
• 20:34
  Speaker 10: people I respect talk about them. I'm like, you haven't
• 20:37
  Speaker 10: watched his teams? To us some mu's know, Like, I'm
• 20:40
  Speaker 10: just some stat guy is telling you stats. They do
• 20:43
  Speaker 10: the same thing for the Seahawks people. I mean literally,
• 20:46
  Speaker 10: I might walk over here people are like, oh, the
• 20:48
  Speaker 10: Seahawks suck at running the football. They're the worst. But
• 20:50
  Speaker 10: I'm like, you know what, some some stat dude just
• 20:53
  Speaker 10: gave you a stat they average two point eight yo.
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: Whatever, like that's not true.
• 20:58
  Speaker 10: These are two good football teams, and the Patriots what
• 21:01
  Speaker 10: their kryptonite is is they they have no depth at
• 21:05
  Speaker 10: certain positions. They have no depth, Like if one O
• 21:08
  Speaker 10: lineman goes down there in a world hurt, they're They're
• 21:12
  Speaker 10: not that dissimilar from what the Seahawks were coming into
• 21:15
  Speaker 10: the like they're just like a year behind in a sense. No,
• 21:19
  Speaker 10: they're a good team, and you gotta be careful and
• 21:21
  Speaker 10: the other thing, like, I just Josh McDaniels knows that
• 21:24
  Speaker 10: he might be overmatched with this defense, Like the defense
• 21:27
  Speaker 10: of Seattle is probably a good amount better than the
• 21:31
  Speaker 10: offense for the Patriots, So he's gonna have to manufacture offense.
• 21:35
  Speaker 10: Smoke in mirrors. He has all kinds of great trick
• 21:38
  Speaker 10: plays in his bag. What are you saving them for?
• 21:40
  Speaker 10: You've been practicing them all week? Like empty it, like
• 21:45
  Speaker 10: let it go Philly special, the hinz Ward Antoine Randelel
• 21:48
  Speaker 10: double revert, like this is the week to do it.
• 21:51
  Speaker 10: So that's what you better watch out for. You might
• 21:54
  Speaker 10: outplay them in every way, and you have a silly
• 21:56
  Speaker 10: fumble here and a couple of penalties there, and then
• 21:59
  Speaker 10: some New England Patriots trick plays and you could be
• 22:02
  Speaker 10: severely disappointed if you're not careful.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the Patriots have, I mean most teams now have
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: the two headed monster in the backfield. And yet throughout
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: the playoffs, probably because of the weather, Stevenson's been getting
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: more touches than Henderson, even though Henderson I think probably
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: brings more to the table home run hitter wise. Are
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: you expecting them to maybe, you know, go towards him
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: a little bit more against this X defense? Is that
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: a good call?
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 22:26
  Speaker 10: So let me give you the history on that. Remandre
• 22:29
  Speaker 10: Stevenson led the NFL and fumbles last year.
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: It was all anybody was talking about.
• 22:33
  Speaker 10: And there's kind of a saying in the NFL like
• 22:35
  Speaker 10: once a fumbler, always a fumbler.
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: It's hard to shake it.
• 22:38
  Speaker 10: And so Mike Vrabel and everyone, they were like just
• 22:41
  Speaker 10: gassing him up the whole offseason.
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: No, no, no, no, those fumbles weren't all on you. You
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: got to do your part. But you're our guy. You
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: are our guy.
• 22:48
  Speaker 10: And you know their their backup running back got hurt
• 22:51
  Speaker 10: and Remandre, you're our guy.
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: Well guess what.
• 22:53
  Speaker 10: In the preseason, Remandre was fumbling and like some of
• 22:56
  Speaker 10: them like maybe weren't his fault all the way, but
• 22:58
  Speaker 10: he was a fumbler in the whole we're a Patriots, Like,
• 23:01
  Speaker 10: the whole Patriots nation was calling for Traveon Henderson, who
• 23:05
  Speaker 10: looked amazing in the preseason, and he's gonna be an
• 23:08
  Speaker 10: amazing player. So they got this weird thing where Travion's
• 23:11
  Speaker 10: this amazing receiver out of the backfield, Wheremandre is the
• 23:14
  Speaker 10: best pass protector and so, and he's also more of
• 23:17
  Speaker 10: the first, second down type back. Travion's more the third,
• 23:21
  Speaker 10: third down back. But Travion, to me, is a lot
• 23:23
  Speaker 10: like Christian McCaffrey. He can be an all day back.
• 23:26
  Speaker 10: So you know, some of it is a big unknown,
• 23:28
  Speaker 10: and I think it makes it a little tougher. I
• 23:30
  Speaker 10: think you might be able to get a key from them,
• 23:33
  Speaker 10: like what kind of runs it is when this back's
• 23:35
  Speaker 10: in and what kind of runs with the other back,
• 23:37
  Speaker 10: what kind of screenplays? But I think the Patriots look
• 23:40
  Speaker 10: at both those guys as starters. That fumbling issue has
• 23:44
  Speaker 10: been a thing, though, and I promise you that that
• 23:47
  Speaker 10: Mike McDonald and company they're aware of it. It's going
• 23:50
  Speaker 10: to be an emphasis for them, you know, punching the
• 23:52
  Speaker 10: ball out.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: So what is the difference then, because Sam can't live
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: down this reputation as turning the ball over either, and
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: yet we Seattle are trying to preach the word it's
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: not an issue. You know, he's aggressive. We don't want
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: to We would rather be aggressive than careful out on
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: the football field, even if it means a turnover or two.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: So Ramandre Stevenson has a fumble issue that he can't
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: live down, and that's still an issue going into the
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl. How do we How should we feel about
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Sam and his turnout?
• 24:20
  Speaker 10: I think they feel pretty good about Romandre until he
• 24:22
  Speaker 10: fumbles again, and I think it was Sam. I think
• 24:25
  Speaker 10: there's great evidence of guys that are you know, gunslinger types,
• 24:28
  Speaker 10: cut it lose. Eli Manning won a Super Bowl I
• 24:30
  Speaker 10: think maybe led the league in interceptions that same season.
• 24:33
  Speaker 10: Kurt Warner, you know, he was known to throw amazing
• 24:36
  Speaker 10: touchdown passes, but he'd also throw it into a defensive
• 24:38
  Speaker 10: team meeting at times, like you know.
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: It just it just it's the mindset.
• 24:42
  Speaker 10: He's like, yeah, it's okay, I'm gonna play aggressive and
• 24:44
  Speaker 10: over the long haul, i'm gonna I'm gonna have more
• 24:47
  Speaker 10: success than than failure.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: When you're talking about the Patriots have to do some
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: things with smok a Mers because they maybe are talent
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: wise a bit overmatched. I think there's a lot of
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: people that sleep on the wide receivers for the Patriots.
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: I mean, who's a guy that Stephan Diggs is probably
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: the biggest name, and yet I don't know for sure
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: if he's the Stephan Diggs that everybody thinks necessarily, who's
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: the guy that.
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: The Seahawks events has to watch out?
• 25:13
  Speaker 10: Boy, It's good that you brought that up because the
• 25:14
  Speaker 10: Patriots wide receiver group in the Seahawks wide receiver group
• 25:17
  Speaker 10: is really similar. He gets a lot of hate because
• 25:19
  Speaker 10: it's kind of wide receiver by committee. Everybody shares the load,
• 25:23
  Speaker 10: you know, and so with the Patriots in particular, Stefan Diggs,
• 25:26
  Speaker 10: You're absolutely right, he's the guy. There's other guys. They're slot,
• 25:29
  Speaker 10: they're Julian Edelman so to speak, is Pop Douglas. They've
• 25:32
  Speaker 10: got Kayshawn Boody, who's kind of there. You know, they're
• 25:35
  Speaker 10: they're young guy that they're hoping to be a number
• 25:36
  Speaker 10: one receiver someday. But the guy to me, that's like,
• 25:40
  Speaker 10: I mean, unsung hero is Mac Collins. He was Josh
• 25:43
  Speaker 10: Josh Allen's, you know, kind of one of his favorite
• 25:46
  Speaker 10: guys in Buffalo. He's amazing in the run game. He
• 25:49
  Speaker 10: makes some big, big catches. He's a monster of a dude.
• 25:51
  Speaker 10: He's really big. He's tough guy. He doesn't wear shoes
• 25:54
  Speaker 10: anywhere he goes, right, it doesn't matter if he's in
• 25:55
  Speaker 10: the snow. Yeah, but another one.
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: I'll give you another one that hasn't really shown up yet.
• 26:00
  Speaker 10: But if I'm the quarterback and he's one on one
• 26:02
  Speaker 10: and it's a deep ball, I'm cutting it loose. Kyle Williams.
• 26:05
  Speaker 10: I think he played at Washington State. In fact, he's
• 26:07
  Speaker 10: he's a baller and in the preseason he beat out
• 26:09
  Speaker 10: some really.
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: Good players to make that team.
• 26:12
  Speaker 10: And if he gets out there and so like, I
• 26:14
  Speaker 10: think with both quarterbacks, one of the great things is
• 26:17
  Speaker 10: they're not afraid to spread it around. And Drake may
• 26:19
  Speaker 10: especially spread it around. It's not just we're trying to
• 26:22
  Speaker 10: just get it to Stefan Diggs. It's not that kind
• 26:24
  Speaker 10: of On offense.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Matt Hasselback is with us. He's all decked out.
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: And his look like I look like Blitz or something.
• 26:30
  Speaker 10: I'm like the mascot here I got look, I mean
• 26:33
  Speaker 10: even even my undergarments, I got Seahawks.
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: It's, you know, like I'm representing. Though. Let's go in
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: San France.
• 26:39
  Speaker 10: A lot of San fran like bartenders, waiters, like valet people,
• 26:44
  Speaker 10: they'll see my Seahawks stuff and they'll be like, go Niners.
• 26:47
  Speaker 10: I'm like, oh really, because, like I saw this tweet,
• 26:50
  Speaker 10: in medieval times, when you would conquer a castle, you would.
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: Fly your flag instead of theirs.
• 26:56
  Speaker 10: And so when I drive by the Niners stadium, now
• 26:59
  Speaker 10: you know, banner is up. I think it's a twelve banner.
• 27:02
  Speaker 10: So sorry, I got right, that's right. I forget who
• 27:05
  Speaker 10: did that tweet. It was like John Boyle or somewhere
• 27:07
  Speaker 10: it was.
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: It was. It was so good though, and so true.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, our colors have taken over your town. Are sigil
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: is flying above your airwaves? At this point, Matt Hasselback
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: joining us here at the at the set. So so
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: what what was Matt Hasselback?
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: What?
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: I know you have bad memories of the Super Bowl,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: but what good things do you recall from that experience?
• 27:32
  Speaker 10: I think as a player, you you just remember the
• 27:35
  Speaker 10: the missed opportunity, like you remember the bad plays more
• 27:37
  Speaker 10: than the good plays.
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: I think that's just everybody a little bit.
• 27:40
  Speaker 10: So there was some awesome stuff, awesome stuff, and like,
• 27:44
  Speaker 10: you know, the thing that comes to mind the most is,
• 27:46
  Speaker 10: you know, Jim's worn was my quarterback coach, and the
• 27:48
  Speaker 10: night before the game at our like team chapel, the
• 27:51
  Speaker 10: families are all invited there. It's usually just players and coaches,
• 27:54
  Speaker 10: but it was all the families and Jim called us
• 27:56
  Speaker 10: up as a quarterback group and he was like, you know,
• 27:58
  Speaker 10: this has been an amazing journey.
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: Lose, this has been an amazing journey. And we're like, yeah, man,
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: this has been incredible.
• 28:03
  Speaker 10: And he was like, hey, tomorrow, like at the fifty
• 28:06
  Speaker 10: yard line after the game, we're gonna take a knee
• 28:08
  Speaker 10: with you know, with the Steelers. Both teams are gonna
• 28:10
  Speaker 10: take me, and we're gonna say a prayer for like
• 28:12
  Speaker 10: just how grateful we are for the journey and what
• 28:15
  Speaker 10: this has been, win or lose. And I was like, yeah, absolutely, yes, amen, brother,
• 28:20
  Speaker 10: you know kind of that mind set and uh and
• 28:23
  Speaker 10: we lost, and you know it was like this moment
• 28:26
  Speaker 10: of like am I gonna sit there and take a
• 28:27
  Speaker 10: knee and really pray with these guys like they don't
• 28:29
  Speaker 10: want to pray. They're celebrating, they're looking for their kids
• 28:31
  Speaker 10: in the stands, and I'm ready to go like throw up,
• 28:33
  Speaker 10: you know, and I'm I'm kind of mad, you know, right,
• 28:36
  Speaker 10: very mad, And I don't know, in that moment of
• 28:39
  Speaker 10: like in their CONFEDERI coming down, it was also a
• 28:41
  Speaker 10: time for me. I'm sitting there with Sean Alexander and
• 28:43
  Speaker 10: a couple of other my teammates. It was like, you
• 28:45
  Speaker 10: know what, this sucks, Like this sucks. But just remembering
• 28:49
  Speaker 10: what Jim Zorn had said basically like less than twenty
• 28:52
  Speaker 10: four hours earlier, like be grateful for this moment, and
• 28:55
  Speaker 10: you know, be grateful for all of it, the even
• 28:58
  Speaker 10: the bad. And I fully expected to be back there
• 29:00
  Speaker 10: the next year, and then we had you know, we
• 29:01
  Speaker 10: lost Steve Hudginson, and there was a lot of other
• 29:03
  Speaker 10: things that went on. But that is a memory that
• 29:06
  Speaker 10: I that I won't ever I don't think I'll ever
• 29:08
  Speaker 10: lose that memory because it was an incredible journey.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, to get there is an accomplishment. Obviously,
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: to win it is what you want, but you can't
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: necessarily look at that. I have won just for the
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: basically the preparation is a quarterback, if you were in
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: Sam Darnold's position, you were talking about the numbers or
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: you don't think about the names. Is numbers zero? Christian Gonzalez?
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: Is that a guy that you have to watch out for.
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: Is there someone on that defense that you better that
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: you'd maybe not go towards a Champ Bailey or somebody
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: like that back in the day.
• 29:37
  Speaker 10: It's a great it's a great call because they've got
• 29:40
  Speaker 10: two great corners. I mean, the New England Patriots spent
• 29:43
  Speaker 10: so much money on their defense up front, their D line.
• 29:46
  Speaker 10: They got Robert Spilin their middle linebacker, who may or
• 29:48
  Speaker 10: may not play. He's wearing Steve Grogan's number fourteen. He
• 29:51
  Speaker 10: might wear a neck collar too, I don't know. But
• 29:54
  Speaker 10: they also spent money on Christian Gonzalez. They're great all
• 29:56
  Speaker 10: pro corner. And then their new player is Carlton Davis
• 30:00
  Speaker 10: third on the other side, So they feel the Patriots
• 30:02
  Speaker 10: feel really good about the matchups with those guys. I
• 30:06
  Speaker 10: would I would say this though, we have as a
• 30:09
  Speaker 10: Seahawks group, we have wide receivers with different body types.
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: We got the speedsters. We also got the bigger.
• 30:16
  Speaker 10: Guys, you know, So sometimes it doesn't matter if you're
• 30:18
  Speaker 10: a speedster, if you're a Jake Bobo type as an example,
• 30:22
  Speaker 10: you know, we saw what he did in the last game.
• 30:23
  Speaker 10: You're kinda like, I don't know, like a little bit
• 30:26
  Speaker 10: more hirky jerky, and maybe you don't run a great
• 30:28
  Speaker 10: forty time, but you have length. That's what the Patriots
• 30:31
  Speaker 10: have and guys like Mac Collins versus some smaller guys.
• 30:34
  Speaker 10: So getting the right guy on the right guy is
• 30:37
  Speaker 10: the matchup that I think Sam Donold's gonna try.
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: Will he go after Christian Zalez?
• 30:41
  Speaker 10: Yeah, because you got JSN and even last week the
• 30:45
  Speaker 10: Denver Broncos hit a big one on Christianzalz.
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: He's a great player. But you can still with.
• 30:49
  Speaker 10: The right person in the right route, these guys can
• 30:52
  Speaker 10: definitely be beat. Feeling to win, I am, yeah, I
• 30:55
  Speaker 10: mean I'm cautious to say that because not always the
• 30:58
  Speaker 10: best with prediction, and you know, but in I would
• 31:04
  Speaker 10: just you know, like this game, I don't think it
• 31:06
  Speaker 10: will be, but this game could turn into a blowout, right,
• 31:10
  Speaker 10: It's possible.
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: There's only one team that's capable of doing that.
• 31:14
  Speaker 10: In my mind, Yeah, so that's why I feel like
• 31:16
  Speaker 10: it's the safer bet. But you know, just being in
• 31:19
  Speaker 10: Boston and understanding, like knowing that a lot of those
• 31:21
  Speaker 10: people had they had they lost in the AFC Championship game,
• 31:25
  Speaker 10: they would have been like, you know, standing ovation, way
• 31:27
  Speaker 10: to go, Rabes, way to go, Drake, you're our future.
• 31:30
  Speaker 10: We're back, We're on the way. Like they're happy. So
• 31:34
  Speaker 10: this is house money to them. This is like they
• 31:36
  Speaker 10: feel like they've had a good season. That's where my
• 31:38
  Speaker 10: fear comes in because if they want to run some
• 31:41
  Speaker 10: trick plays and like, oh man, come on, dude, that
• 31:44
  Speaker 10: doesn't count on set.
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: You know you can't.
• 31:46
  Speaker 10: I can't anymore, but like all the trick stuff, So
• 31:48
  Speaker 10: I want to be surprised to see that.
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: And that's what that's what I worry about a little bit.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Well, h we bought this football because Carell Davis was
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: coming and that's one of Bucki's favorite players, growing one
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: of wee of, we're gonna have him sign it, and
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: then we're like, I don't think you're gonna have people
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: sign on radio row. I don't think it's allowed. So
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: that we now have a ball, do you want the ball?
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: And do you want to score.
• 32:14
  Speaker 10: I definitely want to score, you know, and we want
• 32:17
  Speaker 10: the ball. And for the record, I always want the ball,
• 32:20
  Speaker 10: and I don't and I don't don't regret saying it
• 32:23
  Speaker 10: for a second, don't regret it at all. There's some
• 32:27
  Speaker 10: things I do regret, but you know, even on that
• 32:30
  Speaker 10: play as an example too, I was telling somebody this
• 32:33
  Speaker 10: the other day.
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: We lost. That was our last play wildcard.
• 32:35
  Speaker 10: We're kind of happy to be there, to be honest,
• 32:37
  Speaker 10: but like we lost in the last play in the
• 32:38
  Speaker 10: playoffs in O three, and then we lost again on
• 32:41
  Speaker 10: the last play against the Rams. We really struggled getting
• 32:43
  Speaker 10: over the Rams. Won the division, but lost to them
• 32:45
  Speaker 10: in the wild card on the last play. Those two losses,
• 32:48
  Speaker 10: like the crushing, crushing blow of those losses, I believe
• 32:52
  Speaker 10: strongly propelled us, propelled me to the success we had
• 32:55
  Speaker 10: in O five.
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: It was like, enough's enough.
• 32:57
  Speaker 10: We're not going to do what we've always done, or
• 32:59
  Speaker 10: we're gonna be what we've always been. We're making changes,
• 33:02
  Speaker 10: and we we got rid of some people with great
• 33:04
  Speaker 10: potential and replacing them with people that were just accountable
• 33:07
  Speaker 10: and dependable and and a little maybe a little more
• 33:11
  Speaker 10: gritty and blue collar and I think for me, I
• 33:13
  Speaker 10: changed a lot in what I did and how I
• 33:16
  Speaker 10: kind of played the position because of those two things.
• 33:18
  Speaker 10: So even that I'm sort of grateful for that fact
• 33:21
  Speaker 10: that it happened, and everybody is, you know, and here
• 33:24
  Speaker 10: we are living on TikTok maybe.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: But yeah, everybody don't.
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 33:30
  Speaker 10: If he knew for sure what happened. I came over
• 33:32
  Speaker 10: to the sidelines and he gave me this, like, what
• 33:33
  Speaker 10: did you just do? Because like I kind of heard it,
• 33:36
  Speaker 10: but not really, so you put it on the list
• 33:39
  Speaker 10: of things that I did to annoy him.
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: I apologize, coach My it's a long last how.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Many hasslebacks made it to the Super Bowl.
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: My daughter Annabelle is here for Sports Spectrum.
• 33:49
  Speaker 10: She also has a Seahawks show on YouTube called The
• 33:52
  Speaker 10: Seahawks Collective, usually on Tuesday nights. It's on YouTube that
• 33:55
  Speaker 10: it's a great show, one of my favorite shows. And
• 33:57
  Speaker 10: she also is the host of Foxborough Rush for Now
• 34:00
  Speaker 10: and that covers the Patriots. So this is like, I mean,
• 34:02
  Speaker 10: it's yes, it's my old team, gets my dad's oll team,
• 34:04
  Speaker 10: but this is like, this is like kind of the
• 34:06
  Speaker 10: the annabel ball. But she's diehard Seattle. She worked for
• 34:09
  Speaker 10: the Seahawks her first job out of college, and yeah
• 34:12
  Speaker 10: she's fired up.
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: Well enjoy heanks, guys.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Great to meet you face to face. It's been awesome
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: having you on. And uh, we'll do it again.
• 34:19
  Speaker 10: I can get John Elway over here. If you guys
• 34:21
  Speaker 10: want him to sign your boy, that would be great.
• 34:23
  Speaker 10: You know, yeah, I'll take that.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Matt Hasselback number eight at eight all postseason right here
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: on Chuck and Bucks Sports Radio ninety three point three
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: kh A r f M. All right, it's Chuck Powell
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Bucky Jacobson live from Radio Row here in San Francisco,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: home of Super Bowl sixty as the Seahawks and Patriots.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: We count down the second store to three point thirty
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: kickoff on Sunday, and we do it in many many
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: ways available to us here from Radio Row. We've had
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: a very busy show and we've got a very busy
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: nine o'clock hour that includes Greg Bell as well. And
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: so we're getting you ready, we're getting your prime, we're
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: getting you pumped, and I think that you should celebrate,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: maybe kill a little bit of time really if you're
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: having one, If you're like softy and you're just.
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: Like, I want the game now, I need it, not
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: like me.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe you need to just kill a little time
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: doing some fun stuff like Tilala Persort Casino, for example.
• 35:29
  Speaker 8: Definitely better than watching the Pro Bowl.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, I mean you're about one hundredfold Yeah, Tulala
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: Resort Casino.
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: I mean you don't have to.
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: You can go Matt Hasselbeck route and then just throw
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: the remote behind the dresser. Or you could just say no,
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: leave the remote where it is, get up, go to
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: the Tilala Persort Casino. Go, maybe throw some ducats down
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: on your seahawks. Yeah, so you got a little bit
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: of juice on the game. That way, when they win,
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: you not only get to gloat and feel good, but
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: you also get to make money.
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Or you know, just you know, just playing some cards,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: playing some blackjack, playing some slots, just kill some time. Yeah,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: so Sunday I'll get here faster.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: You know, if I ever have the idea throwing my
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: remote behind the TV, I will instead go to the toy.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Also, you could spend some of your time, perhaps
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: playing the hot new game. I didn't realize this was
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: a thing until this week down here at Radio Row,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: but apparently it's sweeping New England as they're getting ready
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: for the Super Bowl. All of Boston's been doing this
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: as a past time.
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: You've heard of.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Ask Rock, right yeah, yeah, and you can just ask
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Rock something and you get an answer. Well, apparently there's
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: a there's a form of this, and I'm reminded as
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski is sitting up there on the couch within
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: arm's length of us with Kay Adams right now, and
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: so apparently they don't do ask for Grock in the
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: New England area. They do ask Yeah. So I thought
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: maybe we could play a little bit here, uh today,
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Let's let's try this out a little bit. So I'm
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: gonna ask Gronk, Gronk, who is the best player playing
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: in Super Bowl sixty this year.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: We're gonna find out jewels?
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: Oh oh, jewels? Okay, well I think.
• 37:23
  Speaker 8: He calls everyone jewels. He's probably jewels right now.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Isn't groc though, gives you like an answer, right yeah?
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Usually Okay, Well that's that's a bad start.
• 37:33
  Speaker 8: I mean he's not wrong, though, we are gonna find out.
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: I mean, Gronk is was a great tight end. I
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: don't know for sure if many are going to mistake
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: him for artificial intelligence.
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: Let's try it again. Maybe maybe we just got him
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: on a difficult question.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, let me try another one. Listen, Let's let's go
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: outside of sports. Uh, Gronk, what was the meaning behind
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: j D. Salingers, the Catcher and the Rye.
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: We're gonna find out jewles?
• 38:03
  Speaker 7: Oh okay, yeah, I think people have already found that
• 38:07
  Speaker 7: out there.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:10
  Speaker 8: Yeah, one should still be trying to find out.
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, you could read it, I suppose, and find
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: out for yourself. But it's nice sometimes to take a
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: short cut. Apparently, ask Gronk is not a shortcut.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, I mean, what is even the point of
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: asking Gronk if he doesn't give us any definitive answers?
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Let's get Let's try one more.
• 38:28
  Speaker 8: Let's try another one, Gronk.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Does Tom Brady have any more children out of wedlock?
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: We're gonna find out jewels?
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 38:36
  Speaker 8: Well, breaking news?
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean that wasn't a no.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: It sounds like some things could be pending.
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, based off of that answer, I don't think Tom's happy.
• 38:50
  Speaker 8: With his an doesn't know what he's talking about.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I get, I mean, I get why it's
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: addictive to people in the New England area.
• 39:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, if he meant Tom Brady having children or asking
• 39:03
  Speaker 7: that's addictive.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: Probably, I don't know. I hear that's pretty addictive too. Yeah. Yeah,
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: but all right, well, I don't know if it's gonna
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: catch on in Seattle, but let's ask. Let's ask gronk Ky,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: Gronk is asked, Gronk gonna catch on in Seattle.
• 39:23
