• 1:09
  Speaker 3: With the Seahawks getting ready to play on Saturday. Just
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: how big of a football fan is Cayl Rowley.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I've really really become a big Seahawks and cracking
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: fan here in the last couple of years. You know,
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: I didn't really so growing up. I was you know,
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: I grew up in the South, so college football was
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: always more of a priority down there, and you know,
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: obviously with my dad being a college coach, I just
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: you know, I just gravitated more towards that. And so,
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: you know, for professional football, you know, never really had
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: a team per se. You know, I had some people
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: that I rooted for and stuff like that. So obviously
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: when I got to Seattle and I got to go
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: out and raise the twelfth man flag, it was my
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: first game, and I kind of was like, all right,
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: this is this is my team here and hopefully hopefully
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: I can be a fan and for a long time.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: And it's worked out pretty well.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: How cool has that been? I mean, it's you. We've
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: gotten to know you a.
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: Little bit over the over the years, and and then
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: the city basically has fall in love with you, especially
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: after what you did last year and you know, the
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: things that you said and just the way that you
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: kind of present yourself as a pro athlete. And yet
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: the idea of being able to then immerse yourself in
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: the in the city and go to the cracking games
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: and go, you know, raise the twelve man flag. And
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: I saw you went to Husky Stadium there at aunt
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: Lake all of the stuff like that. Man, how how
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: cool is that from your perspective? I mean, growing up,
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: you know, a little kid that was you know, dropping
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: bombs in the backyard and and whatnot. But now all
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: of a sudden to be this kind of you know,
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: the favorite child of the city at.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: This point in time. How how fun has that been
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: that ride for you?
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I've really you know, I've really enjoyed getting to
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: kind of explore the city, to be part of the community,
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: getting to you know, go to games, do these fun
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: things in the off season, kind of immersed myself and uh,
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: you know, the culture and and getting to be around
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: the other sports teams. You know, I think that's important
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: to you know, obviously continue to grow and continue to
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: uh be around you know, the people of Seattle and
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: the other teams. And it's been fun. I've gotten to
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: talk with some guys and get close to some of
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: them and and obviously get to tear them on, you know,
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: like I said, it's a kind of a community kind
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: of thing. And I feel like Seattle in general, you know,
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: they're really tight with their teams and and you know,
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: I just want to be a part of it.
• 3:32

  Speaker 3: Cal Rawley, And I'm sure.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: We'll get to a few baseball questions.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: As well here in a little bit. But yeah, not
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: surprised you gravitate toward a lot.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Of nice guys.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: It's what it explains why the logan Gilbert you can't
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: get along, you know. Yeah, you tend to like the
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: nicer guys. Uh there, yeah, yeah, uh well did just
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: a couple more like on the football front, did they
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: try to get you to play football? I mean, you know,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: I think somebody might have been convinced you could have
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: been a linebacker at some point.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: In your in your youth. Was that ever an option
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: for you to play it?
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: Uh? So I was more of a basketball guy growing up.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: I played. I played all the way through high school.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: I really enjoyed it. Uh you know, football, I I moved.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: I moved when I as a kid. So I got
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: asked to come, you know, try out with a football team.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: And and I showed up day one and they put me.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: They put me on the line, and I was like,
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: this is no fun. I'm not you know, I want
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: to catch a ball or throw a ball, or I
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: want to run a ball. I'm gonna do something fun.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: And they put me on the line and and that
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: was the last day of that. So I mean, as
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: a you know, as a ten year old kid, I
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: was like, this is no fun. So I like, I'll
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: stick to baseball and basketball. And yeah, so that was
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: that was pretty much the end of muffle.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Booker out man.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know, you being a catcher and and
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: doing his as well as you do with handling the
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: pitching staff like you're a rare breed or catchers in
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: general kind of have to be buddies with those with
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: the non athletes as well as being a position player that.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Plays every day.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: I'm kind of joking to some extent, but at the
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: same time, I'm wondering, as a football fan, what part
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: do you like most about the game, like when you're
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: watching it? I mean, is the finesse of the passing game?
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Is it the the.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: Power or the hitting on the defensive side? I mean,
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: what is it that you kind of get riled up
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: about when you when you get ready to watch a game?
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you know, I'm not going to sit
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: here and say I'm a football cousuer, so I you know,
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: I wish I could, you know, sit here and explain
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: a game of X and nose. So but you know,
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: I am just I am a fan, but I you know,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: what I think we're really insitioning to me about the
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: professional game is you know, the kind of like any
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: given Sunday mentality. You know, all the all the players,
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: all the teams are extremely well prepared. They're really good
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: for the most part. You know, thirty teams in the league.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: You know, like I said, you know, anybody can show
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: up any day and and these other teams. So you know,
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: but I really like, you know, kind of seeing you know,
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: how how the game is played, you know, with the
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: you know, setting people up, you know, the play action passes.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: It's kind of interesting to me, like you know, setting
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: up the run to get to the play action. How
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: often does the play action work? You know, I've tried
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: to follow that a little closely because I know the
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: Seahawks are you know, they a lot of success you know,
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: early on with with the play action. So you know,
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: why was that working. Was it because they're running it
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: so much? Or is it just because you know, uh,
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: that works you know at certain percentage of the time.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: So it's kind of interesting to me, uh kind of
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: looking at that. And you know, since I am a toutcher.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: You know, we're there is like scouting, abort things like that.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: I have to go over and and getting to you know,
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: top with other guys and you know, you know, see
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: how it goes for them and reading teams and reading defenses.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: And we'll go into all that, all right.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Last thing on this and then we'll ask you a
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: couple of baseball questions.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Uh, who's the.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Best fantasy football player on the Mariners roster? And then
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: number two, what is your prediction for tomorrow night? Seahawks
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: forty nine ers?
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so Matt Brash has won the league the last
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: two years, so he's probably.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: The letting a Canadian do that.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: He's not he's probably drafting Toronto Argonauts and Saskatchewan Roughriders.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, when you had that much time in the
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: in the so.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Of course, and your prediction for Saturday, Oh.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Of course the Seahawks wins. So I don't know if
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: I'll give you a score maybe lest him go twenty
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: seven twenty.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now you're now you're speaking my language. Cal Rawley
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: is what it's right here on Chuck.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: And Buck an interview about football to this point, but
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: we do want to ask you a couple of baseball questions,
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: and I mean you've had a chance to take a breath.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, sixty home run season. I mean, man,
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: what a year that you had this past year from
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: beginning to end. And then you've got to start the
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: process of trying to come back the next year and
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: you know, maybe do it a little bit better. So
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: what have been your thoughts now that you've got a
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: month away about just what kind of a twenty twenty
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: five cal Rawley had.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you know, I tried to, you know,
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: I got to, you know, I guess take take a
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: breather earlier at the end of the year, enjoy some
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: holiday time with the family and and kind of reflect,
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: you know, in the year. And it was obviously it
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: was a good year. It was a good year overall.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: Then to she's you know, the goal we wanted to say.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: So that was a little disappointing, but you know, a
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: lot of a lot of optimism looking forward, you know,
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: with this upcoming year, and you know, as soon as
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: the near your head, try to, you know, leave that
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: stuff in the past and and move on. You know,
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: I think I think it's important to not dwell on
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: the bad and not go on the good for too
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: long and you know, move on and start start getting
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: back after it again.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: I'm with you, dude. That is the way to think
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: about it is you just move on past it. I'm
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: going to say something just because I'll die on the hill.
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: You MVP should have got it. It is what it is.
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: That's not taking away from Aaron Judge. He's amazing, buddy.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: He didn't sit behind the dish. He doesn't do what
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: you do. And I'll die on that hill, like I said, so,
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: congrats on just the amazing season that you had. Do
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: you remember a few years ago when we were at
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: spring training and I think Chuck and it up. You
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: were over signing some balls and Chuck goes, what do
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: you think cal Rawly hits fifty this year? And you
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: kind of looked at us like what, And then we
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: said forty and you kind of gave thumbs up like yeah,
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: I go forty.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know what the number is. We
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: should say this year sixty seventy eighty.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: One hundred home.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: I think that's a good round number. Yeah, sure sounds good.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: What do you think?
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, let's go for it all right?
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Why notfit why not?
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: Why not?
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: What have you thought about the off season to this
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: point bringing Josh Naylor back? But possibly, you know, definitely
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: having lost to Polonco and and then some other things
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: obviously still up in the air. But how you feeling
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: right now about the way that the roster has been
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: added to subtracted from so far this offseason.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, obviously with how quickly we were able
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: to add Josh back, he was such a such a big,
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: a big win for us. You know, we we think
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: everybody fell in love with him last year. You know,
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: he's a guy you know you want in the bunker
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: with you, you know, somebody that you want on your team.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: You know, he's a winner, he wants the win, he
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: cares about winning. He thinks the right things, he does
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: the right things in the clubhouse, you know. So it
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: was it was an awesome move by you know, the
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: people upstairs, you know, getting that done and and understanding
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: that he's super important to this team and it's going
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: to be for a while. So like I said, he
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: brings a good edge to team that we need and
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: and everybody loves having him around. He's definitely, uh, definitely
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: a good one to get so obviously disappointing where where
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: uh you know, able to remember that we lost Polanco
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: there he got a great deal with New York, obviously
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: wishing nothing but the best, but he was huge for
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: us last year. So that's that's uh, you know, obviously
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: it's hard to replace a guy like that, but you know,
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: we have to continue to move and continue to go forward,
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: and and if that's you know, adding another one, that's
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: adding another one. If it's you know, starting to you know,
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: rely on a younger guy to come up and and
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: do his part, and then so be it. So but
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: like I said, uh, I think it was a really
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: good move in Josh and and and the and the
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: bullpen piece as well. So you know, the loft season's
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: not over. We still got some time and hopefully we
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: can you know, see some more stuff happened.
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: Cal I mean obviously, yeah, we got still more time,
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: and I hope they go out and get another bat
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: to just kind of add to what it is you
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: guys bring him to the table. But I mean there's
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: a chance, really good chance that some of these youngsters
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: are one of these youngsters, whether it's Cole or or
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: you know, Ben Williamson or Colt Emerson for crying out loud.
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: One of these youngsters is gonna need to step up
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: and and kind of mature.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Right before our eyes.
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: It wasn't that long ago that you were that guy,
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: and so I mean, what does it feel like now
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: being maybe on the veteran side of things to where
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: you're watching these youngsters and getting to help them kind
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: of go through the growing pains of just just arriving
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: into the big leagues.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's hard. It's hard. You know, even even when
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: I started to to you know, kind of figure it
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: out a little bit and started to learn my place,
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: you know in the league and started playing a little better,
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: you know, even earlier in that year, I got I
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: got some down. So it's it's not something that you know,
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: even in the first month of the season and might
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: not just might not click right away. It might take
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: a little long in that. But you know that's our job,
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: you know, as the older guys on the team. Now
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: I've kind of moved into that role as someone's been
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: here a little longer, you know, trying to help these
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: guys and trying to bring them along and trying to
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: to help ease those growing pains and trying to shorten,
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: you know, that that learning curve. So, like I said,
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: if I could do anything to help these guys, you know,
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: we're going to do it. So but you know, these
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: guys to kind of find their own way. I have
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: to find their their nation of the game. And and
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: you know, like I said, we're here to try to
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: help that happen as fast as we can because we're
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: trying to win games and we're trying to you know,
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: win a division, win a World series.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: So all athletes spend the off season trying to get better.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: I mean coming off the season you had a year ago.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: What does Kyle Rowley work on this offseason to become
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: a better player?
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think just consistency, you know, really trying to
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: hammer that home. I thought I took a big step
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: forward last year with with that at the play, So
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: really just trying to double down on that. Really just
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: trying to stay consistent with my work, trying to trust
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: the process. I think that's that's always a big thing,
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: you know, trying to the misstrack to alis, trying to
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: put a few more balls to play here and there,
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: and and obviously lots of work on you know, from
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: the defensive front as well. You know, I gotta uh,
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: you know, trying to work on my arm a little bit, uh,
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: work on some framing, new abs coming, so it's gonna
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: be interesting with that, and uh, you know, just working
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: all around game, you know, constantly trying to think of
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: ways to get the team better, you know, whether that's
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: something I could do, and and and uh you know
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: on the you know, pitching side of things, you know,
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: working on you know, game calling, prepping for games. What
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: can what can we do to help these guys you
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: know be even better than there you are? Is there
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: another way we can go about it? So? Uh, you know,
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: those are all all things that you know, I think about,
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: and you know, I know a lot of people here
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: in the organization thinking about as well.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: How long was last season? Dude?
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: I mean it's people talk about one hundred and sixty
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: two being a marathon not a sprint, and yet I
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: mean you play, you play the most demanding position. You
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: played just about every single day. When you do get
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: a day off it, you're still going to be hitting,
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: and who knows, you might have to go out there
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: and catch as well. You do the All Star break,
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: you don't have any time off, you win the home
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: run derby, and then you go through the postseason. I mean,
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: I know you want to play every single day, and
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: kudos to you for that, but how long does a
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: season get when you're going back there and doing what
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: you end up doing on a day to day basis.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you know, even if I just stay here,
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: I could stay here today, we can you know, we
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: can talk about a daunting one sixty two and looking
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: at it and that you know, through that lens, and yeah,
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: it's gonna be long, it's gonna be growing, you know,
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: for anybody, especially for a catcher. But to me, what
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: I've learned is just you know, taking it one day
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: at a time and then from there, taking it one
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: pitch at a time and really just you know, trying
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: to win that day, trying to you know, prepare that day,
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: trying to stay consistent with what I do so that
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: there's no surprises that come up with my body or
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: on the mental side of things, and you know, really
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: just prepping that. So to me, it's just you know,
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: within the day, you want to know, find a way,
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: find a way to get it done today. One I
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: buy a time, one pitch at the time, one ending
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: at a time. That seems to really, you know, help
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: when you when you look at it through that and
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: then over the long course of the season, you can
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: you know, you can pick your head up after the
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: season and be like, Okay, you know, I did what
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: I was supposed to do. You know. I think when
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: guys are get in trouble is when you know, they
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: start looking like a, Wow, I got you know, two
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: months left, I gotta get you know, this amount of hits.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: I gotta you know, we got to try to catch
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: up by you know, this amount of game fifteen something games,
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: and it's like, no, you got, you gotta you know,
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: slow roll. It's a one day at a time kind
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: of thing. You can only control, uh, you know what's
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: going on in in today's games.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: So in other words, he wants to catch one sixty two.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah that's what he is. Yeah, all right? Uh does
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: it close out? How how much time do you spend
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: with Logan in the off season?
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Unfortunately, I'm not gonna spend a lot time of this
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: off season. But to be fair, he did have a kid,
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: so he had him and his wife had their first
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: kid rash of the season. So he's been enjoying some
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: some time with their family and doing all that. So, uh,
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: but I've talked to him, We've we've had some chats,
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: and you know, I've tried to stay in touch with
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: most of the the starting five. Uh, you know throughout
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: the off season.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Did he go cal Gilbert? Did he do that for you?
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: I believe it or not, he did? He did not
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: do that? What I was kind of surprised, So, I.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Know, did you hear by the way, thinking I was like,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: go ahead.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: I was thinking, I was like what why? I thought
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: I thought you were gonna name the kid after me?
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: But I guess so, really pictures exactly.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Doesn't he know where his bread his butter?
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Do get it?
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: Uh?
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Did you hear you were a Jeopardy answer the other day?
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: I did. I got a lot of text messages, and
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: that's probably one of the coolest things. That's that's a
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: you know, popped across my phone. That was that's uh,
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: that's gold right there. I mean, I remember my dad,
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: and you know, I remember how boring it was little
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: and then I started kind of getting into it.
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: You know, maybe when I come back for you know,
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: from college, you'll go back home for the holidays and
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: you know she's enjoying time being around the family, and
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: you know you enjoy those times. So and uh, it
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: was always on and then you know the same thing
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: early in pro ball and you know, to be to
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: be on uh jetparty is is pretty cool.
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: Alex Trebeck was was you know, a legend. So obviously
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: he passed away. It was just sad, but still what
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: a cool uh really cool thing to be a part of.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: That's awesome.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: That's awesome. Well, we'll see it about a month.
• 19:48

  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I was wondering if your old man wants
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: to come throw for me. That'd be great.

• 20:32
  Speaker 1: You wore him out the last.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: One, Derby, Yeah, the last one, Dirty Derby did him. Man,
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: that was about it for his knee now and hopefully
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: maybe he can be ready, you know, for a round two.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, man, Hey, thank you very much for
• 20:48

  Speaker 4: guys down here.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Okay, man, there he is, the great cal Rawley, joining
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: us right here on the radio program. Already down there, yep,
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: getting his work in.
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: I believe he's joking kind of when I say he's
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: working on his swing before the non athletes show up.
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: But he's not one hundred percent kidding. He's working on
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: something he has to get. He literally the second that
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: they show up pictures and catchers.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: It's just for the pictures. It's just like, all right,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: these dorks ready, you know.
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: I say that jokingly. I like all the pictures. I
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: always did. I always got along with him. It's just
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: an ongoing joke amongst position players and so. But he
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: has to Spring training ends up being him getting this
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: the rotation and the staff ready right. So he's getting
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: himself ready right now. And I think one hundred. I
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: don't think it's that too big of a goal.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Undred hundred homers next year for our guy, Cal. Thank
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: you guys.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well that's the over under. Mike Sando's next
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: on kJ R. Then Carle Hunts now with Mike, here's.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Chuck and Bud.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, Mike Sando every Thursday, not.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: Every Thursday that he follows Cal Rawley on our radio show.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: How many homers did you hit last year? Sando?
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah? How many homers did I hit last year?
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: No?
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: No, uh uh no, I haven't won any home runs
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: one home run for the Mariners the whole year. Wow,
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: no home runs hit? You got time for a quick
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: home run story?
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: Sure, sure, because it's kind of just a good modeling
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: of parenting for others out there. When uh, when my son,
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: one of my sons was a young lad, he was
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: a pitcher and we were you know, he he gave
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: up back to back home runs off. One of them
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: went off the roof of the Elks Lodge nearby, you know,
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: so back back to back homers, you know. And he
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: was always a great he could roll with it. You know,
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: he's pretty good, but he'd roll with it. So it
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: wasn't like he was crying or anything. So whatever. So
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: the next aim, the next time we were going back
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: to that field. When we were getting there, I said,
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: he said, hey, are you pitching today? And he goes, uh,
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: he goes, oh no. I said, uh, good that I
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: can park anywhere. I'm the car safe and my home
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: run story and he laughed. He goes, Dad, come on, man.
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: But that was sort of always my strategy with the kids,
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: just like make light of fun things and don't don't
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: make it to be too big. So when you said
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: home runs, I made he thought of those two big dangers,
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: one of them off the roof, and how I couldn't
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: wait to just you know, ask if he was pitching
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: the next time, becauld, I don't want to get my
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: windshield broken.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I love it.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: We got to get to football.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: But you know what I love is that all like
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Little League home run stories. All you have to do
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: is like like ours was the tennis courts. I hit
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: one off the tennis courts, and you automatically just, oh,
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: that must have been a mammoth shot. I mean, how
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: do I know that that shed wasn't just one hundred
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: and seventy five feet away from your son?
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hell yeah.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: When you describe a little league home run like, oh man,
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: this guy he hit one off of, uh, you know,
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: the gas station, you know, you just know what a
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: mammoth shot that was without even knowing how far the
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: gas station was.
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: It was super humiliating for the family. No, it was great. Well,
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: I love those lessons of you the sports.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Here you go, all right, let's dive in Seahawks forty
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: nine ers.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: That's got to be where we start with our conversation
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: about the NFL Divisional round of the playoffs. I mean,
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: we just watched the Seahawks. I know they only won
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: by ten, but they did kind of man handle them
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago. Mike, why would Saturday be
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: any different? It probably wouldn't be.
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: You know, I think that in any one game turnovers,
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: you know, can can swing it and make it hard.
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: And so that's been you know, obviously everyone's talked about
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: that with the Seahawks, they've had a lot of turnovers,
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: so but even that, I mean, I feel like, you know,
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: the Seahawks have such a big advantage of rest of health,
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: of probably being the better team anyway, that it all
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: signs to me point to the forty nine ers probably
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: running out of gas in the second half of this
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: game and probably just having enough offense against the cl
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: defense to keep pace.
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it does feel like I mean, if Week eighteen
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: had anything to do, and it does feel that way.
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: What I mean, one team has all the rest and
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: is recovered and is not as damaged via the injury
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: and whatnot. But what type of probability or what kind
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: of things can happen in these division playoff games, because
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: it does seem like they get crazier and crazier every time.
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: Well, you come out and you know, let's just take
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: the game. It's the Fortins. Last time, I believe the announcer,
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: I forget who was, Hey, Sam Darnom's done a great job,
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: you know, protecting the ball. The next play they fumble
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: a handoff and the Fortnitans easily could have scooped and
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: scored on that. So I think those are the types
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: of things that you know, one game situation, are you
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: tight when you come out right? How does that look
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: to you? Do you fall behind quickly at home? And
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: now the crowds out of it? I think you're you're
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: aware and you have an awareness of those things could
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: happen in any game, but when they happen in these
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: types of games, they're super memorable, their legacy defining all
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: of that. So those are the negative types of things
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: that that can happen. But I don't think you're overly
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: worried about it. From a Seattle standpoint, I think that
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: I think they have the better team. Now. I do
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: think that, you know, this stadium with a good team
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: and a top defense is different. I think it the
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: loudness of it. I don't think the Seahawks, this team
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: has felt it. You know, this stadium is going to
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: be unbelievable. So one of the possibilities that's usually a
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: very good thing, But one of the possibilities is that
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: does make it harder to communicate defensively. And I think
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: we do know that Seattle, you know, likes to do
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: a lot of different things, and you know, could you
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: have a couple of busted coverages in this game because
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: it's the louder than you even anticipated, and you're trying
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: to do certain things to make the adjustments that you
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: want to make, and somebody doesn't get the call and
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: now all of a sudden pretty thrown it over the
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: top of someone's head and you got to eat yard touchdown.
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: I think that's the type of if you're trying to
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: find ways things to be aware of that could happen
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: that might seem surprising on the surface, there could be
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: reasons for those types of things to happen that I
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: think setible figure out if the game goes along. Hopefully
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: for them they don't have to learn from it in game,
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: but I do think it's going to be different. I
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: think that they haven't played in this noise.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: Ah yeah, yeah, you and I are seeing this one
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: the same way Mike Sando was with us. Sorry, NFL Insider,
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: you can follow Mat Sando NFL on X. Of course
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: he is with the Athletic All right, Rams Bears, how's
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: that one turn out?
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: Well, there's no doubt that the Rams are a better
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: team and should be able to light up the Bear defense.
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: My worries for the Rams are that it's going to
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: be super super cold. It's a very difficult stadium to
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: kick in the conditions with the wind. You got Matt
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: Stafford's finger, you got the Rams have given up leads before.
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: You know, they led by nineteen to the Eagles and
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: loss they led by whatever it was, seventeen was it
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: on the Seahawks and lost the game sixteen right thirty
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: to fourteen at one point late in the game. So
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: it does set up you know, I think the Bears
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: could come out in this game and just really try
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: to run the ball. They could have some success with that.
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: The Bears could. And then even if the Rams are ahead,
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: does Stafford's finger in that weather make it harder for
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: him to really exploit the matchup advantages? Because Green Bay
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: was going after number six the whole game, you know,
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: like almost to a fault. They were thrown at him
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: the corner for the Bears. So you know, I just
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: feel like the Bears are the team without the pressure
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: on him, the quarterback, who's better in two minutes from
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: playing from behind. And I think the Rams have the
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: potential to be vulnerable in the game because of that.
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, how about the AFC games man, Well.
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: Houston's defense is really kind of like Seattle's defense. Now,
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: I think that they could be a little bit more
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: vulnerable against the run. I think they're not probably as
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: big and stout, but Houston does have the a little
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: bit of a profile like Seattle, where you're not as
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: good an offense, but you're really good on defense. And
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: I think against a playoff field that doesn't have a juggernaut,
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: I think that they could possibly be a dangerous team
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: if you're looking for one of those, you know, a
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: lower seed to get there. And I think the Bills
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: can get there too, So I feel like the AFC,
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: I'm probably least confident in Denver, which is the number
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: one seed of those teams, and so I think we
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: could see a lot of different possibilities there, Whereas on
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: the NFC side, I feel like Seattle's got a great
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: inside track to get to the super Bowl and we'll
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: probably get there. I think you could throw them in
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: a hat.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: On the AFC side, yeah, yeah, you and I are
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: seeing really closely on all of this stumb this week.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: I just want to let you know I was two
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: and five last week, So they.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Not exactly on fire over here.
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: Well, we didn't say we saw it the same last week.
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: That's true.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, maybe you don't want to think like me.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: Mike Sando is with us our NFL inside right here
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: on the Chuck and Buck. John Harball to the New
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: York Giants seems like a done deal. Surprised by this?
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: Does it make total sense to you where you at?
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: I think it does make sense, you know. I think
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: that the you know, the Giants have really missed having
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: a coach with credibility since they had Tom Coughlin, and
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: they haven't shown a real ability to identify and hire
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: the next guy. My warning for the Giants is you're getting, Yes,
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: you're getting Harrball, You're getting a steady guy. You're getting
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: somebody who's got a winning pedigree, and you probably can
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: put together a better staff than what they've had. So
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: that's all positive. I just don't know that you export
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: all of the other things that helped make the Ravens
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: be good, and there's been a long history there with
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: their personnel and just finding great players. They've had only
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: three coaches in their Baltimore iteration. Ted Marcherbrod retired after
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: he was done with them, and Brian Billet never coached again.
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: So we really haven't seen guys go from Baltimore and
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: have to try to succeed elsewhere. I think that there's
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: a big drop off in ownership and organization going to
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: the Giants, and there's also a lot more scrutiny, and
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: so you know, how patient are they going to be?
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: How quick is the turnaround going to be? Will be
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: interesting to be there.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Weird the Tomlin's not the Steelers head coach. Not really.
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: I think we could kind of see this had been
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: alluded to in the media the last couple of years,
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: and a is it going to be his decision to
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: walk away? And I think with Harbad being out it
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: almost makes it. There's a symmetry here, like where you
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: have the two coaches that have been one place a
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: long time. They won super Bowls, but it was a
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: long time ago. You don't really feel like they're getting
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: better right now. They're kind of stuck. So I think
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: it's a good time for both organizations to try some else.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: All right, thirty seconds or so, give me one fit,
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: like a coaching vacancy, and somebody to you that makes
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: perfect sense in that coaching vacancy.
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: Uh, that's a great question. I thought you would ask
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: me to study the field of coaches.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Due, I thought you would have one right off the
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: I mean you talked about.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: The podcast Belichick to the Browns.
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: You know, no, I think, uh, I don't think it's him.
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: You know what about Mike McDaniel to Atlanta.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: Oh so here's.
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: Why I like that. Okay, he was there before when
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: when Matt Ryan had that MVP season and he was
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: working with Shanahan there. So now you have Matt Ryan
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: basically kind of being the GM, right, I mean they're
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: going to hire a GM, but Matt Ryan's kind of
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: the guys. So I think there would be whoever comes
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: in there needs to like pass the credibility test with
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: Matt Ryan, right, And so to me, if you give
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: John Robinson and some of the pieces they have there,
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: you may be able to get real good offense. Now,
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: I would want to have a veteran decordinator and field
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: really squared away on that side of the ball, and
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: maybe some guardrails for McDaniel. There's risk when you hire
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: the guy and he hasn't had time to kind of
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: have a year or two to in between jobs, you know,
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: to kind of make himself better and ask some tough questions,
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: but I do think that does make some sense for them.
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: All I don't know if you hit that one on
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: the roof, but that was pretty good. That was pretty
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: good right there. All right?
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: Well, normally I would say enjoy the football, but I
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: don't have to tell you.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: You're going to do it no matter what.
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: You won't let it be their Saturday.
• 33:41

  Speaker 5: I read read it better today from Greg Bishop from
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: the SI and it is a great article for any
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: Seahawk fan. You want a deeper dive into Mike McDonald.
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: Greg Bell has written some stuff and has talked extensively
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: with us about him and his military upbringing or being
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: brought up in military home and how that shaped his
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: leadership to some degree.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: This goes even deeper.
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: This goes into a little like a club type thing,
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: a leadership group that he was a part of back
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: at University of Georgia, and and it talks to a
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: gal there that he was partners with in this thing.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: And I mean, it's just amazing.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: It's I don't think so, but it could be.
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: I mean, he's that I think that he might be
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: smart enough that he's somehow snuck that into also being
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: a genius of a.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: Football colayer trying to get him able to recruit him.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I haven't.
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: I've read the whole thing actually twice now, and I
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: didn't really get there with anything.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: They didn't say anything.
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: About the illuminatim. But he's a smart, smart fellah and
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: a leader. It just is one of those when you
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: read it, if you're a Seahawks fan, you're like, Wow,
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: we got that guy at the helm. I mean, it's
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: beyond football. It's it's the leadership of men and people.
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: And he does kind of give off a very easy
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: way of leading. It's not boastful, it's not up in
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: your face. It's just kind of like, yeah, kind of
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: I know my stuff. Yeah, maybe I want to jump
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: in line and just watch what I do.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying right now he's the best football coach
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: in the world. But I wouldn't trade him for anybody.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't trade him for one guy out there.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: I really wouldn't know Ashley Hoosier or what who's your
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: what's your last thing?
• 36:27
  Speaker 8: Well, I got a message from my friend Josh who
• 36:29
  Speaker 8: had an idea like he found. He came across the
• 36:32
  Speaker 8: thing that said basically like, if you want to lose
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: five pounds in three days, he thought this might be
• 36:35
  Speaker 8: right up my alley.
• 36:37
  Speaker 7: This diet that was from a nineteen seventy seven edition
• 36:39
  Speaker 7: of Vogue.
• 36:40
  Speaker 8: Oh for breakfast, you have one hard boiled egg okay,
• 36:45
  Speaker 8: and one glass.
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: Of white wine. Oh, also some black coffee.
• 36:50
  Speaker 8: For lunch, two hard boiled eggs, two glasses of white wine,
• 36:55
  Speaker 8: and some coffee.
• 36:57
  Speaker 7: And for dinner you have a five ounce steak.
• 36:59
  Speaker 8: Grilled with black pepper, lemon juice and uh oh, and
• 37:02
  Speaker 8: then also the remainder of the white wine.
• 37:04
  Speaker 7: You're allowed one bottle per day.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: One bottle per day, and some black coffee, eggs and meat, yeah,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: and wine and wine.
• 37:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, maybe I'll give it a try.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought for sure you were going with dinner
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: was three hard boiled eggs.
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: That's where I thought it was going to but apparently
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: we got to change things up.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Are you going to try it? I mean, I might
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: give it a shot.
• 37:24
  Speaker 8: I'm disappointed though, that you only get one glass of
• 37:26
  Speaker 8: wine at the end of the day. I'd prefer to
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: have the two at the end of the day, one
• 37:30
  Speaker 8: in the with breakfast and one with lunch.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Are you going to follow the diet or not? Yeah?
• 37:35
  Speaker 7: Okay, fine, I'll follow the diet.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 37:37
  Speaker 7: Should I do it and see what happens?
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're all on like different types of diets.
• 37:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and right now, well, now I am yeah, now
• 37:45
