 Just Ice-na-Bazzie HDK Man Caps One On One Our guest right now under the biggest, fastest most explosive wide receivers in the NFL He's also, I think, an aspiring actor Can't wait to talk to you about their iconic Fashion icon in the NFL And he's joining us right now Please welcome in Seattle C-Hogs All-Pros, Superstar Dk Man Per Specifically Hi What's up? How you doin'? I'm so good Now I saw your Instagram story dog that was in the car with you. That's why I wanted you to come on. I want to see that dog. She's at the house right now. I'm at the facility. Now you're at the facility, got it. Did you do anything for Halloween? Did you dress up? No, we had a little Halloween party up here, you know, for me and some of the players and the staff members, you know, in the building. It was a good turnout. What was the best costume you saw and who wore it? It was actually one of the equipment managers. He scared me when tapped me on my shoulder. I turned around and he was like the grim reaper. I couldn't see nothing but like a black cave and it was just it was it was a good outfit. You're like Miles Garrett, is that you? That's that is absolutely creepy. And to scare a 6-4 DK mat cap. It's not easy. It's all smiles for Seattle right now. I couldn't be happier and I couldn't be more apologetic that no one in the media myself included saw it coming or gave enough respect or love to this team. Another win this time over the Giants. He's this also powerhouse team. And in the game, you did a little acting to help your team get into the end zone. Take me through this play. All right, so I had a slant route and then I see Gino didn't throw the ball. So a door he kept following me. So I was like, let me see how far I can take it. So I was I ran and acted like, you know, threw me the ball through my hands up and you know, he he was chasing me and acted like he was trying to swap the ball down. So I was like, dang, I really got on the on the save route. But yeah, it was a it was a good little acting job. But that that running back that we have in the backfield is is doing an amazing job right now. Make the secret miss and, you know, taking taking the ball today. So did you plan on doing this or had you ever thought about it? Was this his improv on the spot? No, I used to do this in high school all the time because teams used to double me. And so I just had to make the game fun. So I used to act like the quarterback was still pulling me the ball when he wasn't. I was trying to act like I was catching the ball. We love seeing it. And there's acting that went into that in this game, plus a touchdown from you to help your squad. And I I didn't even think you were going to play. You looked good out there. You were questionable. How are you feeling? And how's the knee? My knee is great. I got a little rest last week. Did a lot of rehab, you know, at the facility and at the house. And it was just like around the clock rehab. But I'm just glad, you know, God bless me to be able to go out there and play and have full trust in my knee and faith in myself. I love that. And you know, the acting part of it all is I know you took acting classes. Is that where that came from? Because I know you even worked with Jerry Brockheimer on a project. Yeah, I actually had acting practice yesterday after our meetings. But yeah, I was in a film with Jerry Brockheimer on Wilson two off seasons ago and the movie released this off season. So it was just a great experience. Just a great experience just to be on set. Just see how a lot of actors and actresses, you know, take the job real serious how, you know, we as athletes take our job serious during the week and during the season. So if you were to cast yourself in the perfect situation for DK Metcalf in a movie, a series, a superhero villain, a comedy, who is DK Metcalf playing? Oh, I'm being myself a superhero. I will name my superhero. My pops calls me chaotic. Um, and I'll just be saving, saving a small town like Oxford, Mississippi or something like that. Hometown. Sounds like you've thought about this before DK. Yes, I have. Okay, we got to get a screenplay. We got to get you an agent. I know some guys over at CAA can get you hooked up. We'll figure this out. We'll make a movie in no time. But until, but until then, I know you're focused on your job and what your role is on that team at five and three with the lead in the NFC West. And I mentioned everybody counted you out. They really did before the season. So what moment has been most satisfying to you this year? Just seeing everybody, everybody's success and how we've just come together as like a brotherhood and not only as a team, just seeing Gino's success, you know, our defensive success. We had the pleasure of getting Chenan Wilson from the Chargers. You know, he's just turned our defense around. Tyler's doing great. Kim Walker, an amazing runner-back, amazing rookie, these rookies that we have on defense and offense. It's just amazing to see, you know, everybody coming together and, you know, doing that part. And, you know, it's making a big difference. And, you know, we're pulling out wins, you know, left and right because everybody's just coming together. And we don't like Tyler said, nobody cares who gets the credit. You know, we just go out there and just play for each other. A lot of people, I didn't like this. And I've, you know, a lot of people right away, add Russell Wilson to that Tyler Locker quote. What do you make of that? Because I don't think it's true. No, I mean, no, that was definitely not a shot at Russ. It was just like it just feels like a different vibe. Like we're a young team and that's just hungry. He was just more so speaking of everybody on the team in this moment and how we're just like unselfish with, you know, how we play the game and with how we care for each other. Russ was definitely not that type of person to me or anybody, you know, that I've seen him around. He was a great teammate to me. So it was Bobby Wagner and everybody that's, you know, been through this organization since I've been here. So no, that was definitely not a shot at anybody. Yeah. It seemed like Tyler Locker was talking about these young guys. Listen, Tariq Woollen blew my socks off when I had him on the show last week, getting to know him just a little bit the first time I ever talked about him. And now he's got a fan for life. Like I could not be, you know, more sort of like attracted to everything he's got going and the momentum and the mentality. And you, you and Tyler Locker, you guys are veterans now. You're setting the tone. You're talking to these guys. How impressed are you with this rookie class? Very. Kobe studies day in, day out. He's probably the first one to the facility and the last one to leave. Ken Walker works his butt off every day at practice. And when he gets to the game, he knows exactly who he is and what he has to do. Tariq Woollen. I mean, you see him catching pigs left and right. You know, nobody is complete a pass on him in a couple weeks that I've seen. And then, you know, the two tackles that we have, and Abe and Charles, that's holding, you know, the line down on the outside. I mean, we just have like a hungry team. You know, there's hungry just for, you know, a chance to play, a chance to win, a chance to just not prove everybody else wrong, but, you know, just to prove ourselves right in every situation. So these rookies that we have, they motivate me every day at practice because, you know, they're trying to be great as well. They're trying to, you know, chase me, chase me down at practice or stop me at practice or stop Tyler. So I mean, it's just a fun sight to see. And then you have, speaking of proving people wrong, do you know Smith? There's so much to get into. But what was the moment that he won this locker room over? I will say after the, after the Saints game, I will say he told us that we got to be better as an offense, better as a team, play together. And ever since then, like everybody's just gravitated towards him. You know, he's been a leader of the past five weeks. He's been leading us, you know, an offense, leading the team on the sideline. He's talking more. You can see how bad he wants to win, you know, during the game, at least taking off running, not running out of bounds, trying to lower his shoulder, get the first down. You can just see his competitive spirit just come out on Sundays. And, you know, it's just a thing of beauty to see how many people, you know, counted him out and didn't get him a chance and wrote him off. And, you know, he's just kept his head down the whole time and just worked his butt off. And, you know, he's reaping the benefits of it now. Well, he said everyone wrote him off, but he didn't write back though, which is one of my favorite lines. I think in NFL history, I mean, that's when he won. That's the moment he won me over. I said, okay, you know, like I see you, I see you right now. So that's, that was a beautiful moment after that Saints game. And it's been working for you guys. And then there was this moment, the moment of 2022 with the clench walk. Okay, we just have to get into it. This was the bowel movement that shook the NFL DK. It's weak for, you know, it's again, I think it's against the Lions. Who cares? Who knows? You're carted off the field. Ari, let's start here. Were you surprised this was such big news and that this went viral? Yes, I'm very surprised that me being carted off to go to the bathroom was big news. If anybody has played in Detroit, they know it is a long ass walk from the locker room to the field. And I was not gonna make that walk by far. No, I was not gonna make it. Okay. So then here's the next question. What, like, what does Pete Carroll do? You obviously say, I have to go to the bathroom. Is there a signal that you give to everyone? Like, is there a hot? It just, you're just, I'm out. And that's how it goes. All right. So this is the full story. So this is the middle of the drive. And I come out for a play and I told my, my receivers coach, I was like, Hey, I got to go to the bathroom. He was like, you got to pee or do a number two. I got to do a number two. And then it went away for like 10 seconds. So I was like, all right, I'll go back in the game. And when I was back in the game, the feeling came back up. So we, we ended up scoring like two plays later. And so I run back to the sideline and they had a cart ready for so the head trainer was like, you got to go to the bathroom. I was like, yeah, he was like, it's a cart down there. I'm like, bro, I'm not taking part. So then equipment manager comes up and I was like, Hey, it's a cart down there. I think you should go ahead and go. Pete wanted me to do it on the sideline. I'm like, no, I got too much respect. So I can't, I can't do it on the sideline. And so I hopped on the car and went to the locker room. I was actually mic'd up that game too. So this is, this is like very. So NFL films has full pooping. Yeah. Yeah, they got, they got everything. I mean, you got, now whenever NFL films means anything from you, DK, like you, I mean, that's just like, you know, they got you. Exactly. So Pete, did you say that Pete Carroll, Pete Carroll wanted you to, Pete Carroll wanted you to poop on the sideline? Yes, because it was like the first week of the season, our special teams coaches Larry is up and he got a game ball for taking this shit on the sideline when he was with the Patriots. So Pete was like, if Larry can do it, then you can do it. And I'm like, I'm not like Larry. I don't want to be like Larry in that aspect. I'm not like Larry. I'm not like Larry. I can't believe that. And then, uh, okay, well, then there we go. Now, I don't even know what to say about that. I would just say this for us fans out there, we thought you were hurt. We thought something was wrong. So if you could give us some sort of signal, I don't know if it's like the bat thing, whatever. Next time anything like that happens, we just want to make sure that you are good. You know what I'm saying? I throw my thumbs up next time. Well, hopefully no more cards needed. DK, you're the best. We have one last question for you. Got the Cardinals this weekend. And last week, we saw DHOP get back from his time away and he bawled out, tell me the truth, because you're a human. You're also an alpha. You're, you're a top wide receiver in this business. How does that affect you seeing another wide receiver on another team perform well going into a matchup against them? Oh, I'd never like try to take any food off anybody's plate. I hope everybody, you know, succeeds, but it's going to be tough trying to get, you know, some yards on Turek willing, you know, now that he's back. So it was going to be a good matchup. I know I had to go against them, you know, all training camp and every day of practice. I mean, you know, I consider myself, you know, one of the best receivers in the league. So it's going to be, it's going to be a tough matchup, but, you know, made the best man win. Amazing. DK Metcalf, you are the best. Always keeping it honest, always keeping it real, wishing you so much success and tell Turek Will and that his biggest fan says hi. Okay. All right, I will. Thank you. Thanks, DK. Good to see you as always. Big one between the Seattle Seahawks and those Cardinals this
