To start the interview the guys ask Erin what she’s been up to during quarantine, and how her job has changed as a reporter. Russell then asks Erin about her clothing line WEAR – a team apparel company specifically for women. Jeff transitions the conversation to the 2013 NFC Championship game when the Seahawks won in dramatic fashion over the 49ers. Russell recounts the game, and Jeff asks Erin about her postgame interview with Richard Sherman.

Russell asks Erin who she looked up to in the industry when she was younger, and who she wanted to be like.
