Hey everybody, it's Brian. Before I did this Seahawks stuff full time, I worked as a manager and senior leader, so I know how lonely it can be to try to find someone you trust to talk through people issues, org issues, process issues, as you try to lead an organization.

Ryan Cleveland of Ryan Cleveland.com is someone I trust to have those conversations with.

He specialized in working with CEOs and business owners, and you can get a complimentary free

discovery session to see if it's a good fit for you. Just go to Ryancleveland.com to sign up and start now. Hello and welcome to a very special episode of Real Hawk Talk.

I am Brian Nemhouser and it's here.

I can't honestly believe it's here.

I feel like I've run full speed into a wall.

Like, it didn't see it coming, but it's there.

And at my age, when I run full speed into things,

it doesn't do much damage anyway because I can't go that fast anymore.

But the Seahawks prediction shows here,

which means we are only a few days away from

game week. Dana O'Gorman, Nathan Ernst, Evan Hill, all going to be here for the first game

of the season. We're going to have some fun on Ring of Honor dinner next week. So that's going to be fun.

But tonight, we've got, yes, we have got the Octobox. We've got all eight folks from the crew. The only person missing is

Will Hart, who does a lot of our shorts as well. And Will kind of does that in his own world and does an amazing job.

But let me bring in everybody here. You should know most of them. You may not know all of them.

So Nathan Ernst at Nathan E11, Evan Hill at Evan Hill, at Evan Hill HB, Dana O'G-G-G-G-G-G-D-G-G-D-E-R-G- at Dana O'G. Jeff Simmons at Real Jeff Simmons. Derek Gabby at D-E-R-Y-C-K-G underscore. He's still rocking the underscore. Braden, B-R-A-Y, D-E-N. You can find him, I think, at C with a lot of E's Hawks on Twitter, who does a bunch of stuff for us here, including some shorts and reels and other things running the real Hock Talk account.

And then the man the myth, Josh Cashman, keep an eye on his backgrounds. You never know what might show up next.

So folks, if you haven't been here before for a prediction show, it's a little chaotic. That's kind of the idea.

You can't do an eight-person show with that a little bit of chaos.

What we're going to do is we're going to go through every game of the Seahawks season,
