• 4:19
  Speaker 2: everything we were gonna do.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: No, I get to check out you spinning the wheel
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: of Purple Punishments. I mean I get to spin it
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: because yeah, it's on your ear, but I'm gonna spin it.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Should get like a wheel, should we Yeah, like a
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: physical one and a digital one.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: That'd be kind of cool.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Maybe next year, Yeah, maybe next year. We'll see what
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the budget allows for.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Well, actually, if we just want to stop everything we
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: were doing and I can take the time to go
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: and order one online right now instead of whatever else
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: we were about.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: To be maybe if you land on win an eBay auction,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: you could win one.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I could on an eBay. It would have to be
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Vikings related, though, I mean, I don't know if that's
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: in the rules.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: But that's it's like an unwritten kind of thing, all right.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Because I did get that cool joy An Addison card
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, you did, because I spawned that one.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Where is that by the way, here somewhere? I don't know.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: So, yes, I did predict a Vikings win when we
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: made our preseason picks. I predicted a Vikings win in
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Doublin against the Steelers. Obviously, I'm an idiot and I
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: don't know what I'm talking about. So the Vikings lost,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: and you you avoided the purple punishments. I did not
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: avoid it. Unless you have anything else to say, I
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: think we just need to get this over with, all right,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: let's do it today.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Your purple punishment is to double it. So we're gonna
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: spin it again, and whatever we land on, you have
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: to do it twice or twice the amount.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: You're welcome for taking this one off the wheel for you,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: all right.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: So we're taking that. We can always put it back on. Yeah, okay,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: but whatever we do now, you're gonna have to double it.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Double it, I swear. Oh oh, how does this work?
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: So I think we could do this one of a
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: few different ways. I think I think you could wear
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: it this episode and next episode.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, so have we said it? So it's sorry. I
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: have to wear a Lion's jersey, which is just the worst.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: So we do have multiple jerseys here. I could like
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: double the jerseys and like wear.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: You know, like, but then you cover one up and.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: And then see the other.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I think we gotta wear it two weeks in a row.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, okay, first things first, I'm gonna put
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: this jersey on. At least it's a T. J. Hockinson jersey.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say, there is a silver lining. All
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: the silver is part of their color scheme, which is unfortunate.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: But the silver lining is that it is a eighty
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: eight t J. Hawkinson Lions jersey.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: I was just thinking I should just turn this inside out,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: but I think that would that would probably go against.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: You. Gotta do it, you gotta do it.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: This just looks wrong, pull it down, come on, Yeah,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know. So all right, I'm trying to think.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I think the easiest double it is were this for
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: two weeks in a row.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm gonna say.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: All right, I'm yep, We'll just make it easy, that's
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: what That's what it'll be so keep.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Your eyes peeled now. Now, next week, we both predicted
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: the Vikings win, So if for some reason they lose,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: which please Lord no, but if for some reason they lose,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: we would both spin the wheel. You'll have to wear
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: that and do whatever it is we land on next week.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I might just have to spill some beer on this tonight,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: but that would be a disgrace to beer, and I
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: would watch it anyway.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: That's fine.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: This is this is awful. I just want to say
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: while wearing this jersey. It should be known too that
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Lions fans are currently the worst fans in the entire league.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: They're the worst, and I despise the team, the Lions,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: And that's that's all I have to say. I feel
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: like a clown for wearing this thing right now, but
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: at least it's a T. J. Hockinson jersey.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Let's drink some beer so you can forget about.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Let's drown everything, all right, So the beer tonight, Evan, Yeah,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: you go ahead. I'm a little flustered right now wearing
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: this thing, so go ahead, tell us what we're drinking tonight.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Who knew wearing a jersey could like completely wreck your night.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: It's yeah, what do we got.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: We've got Gazelleg Brewing Company. We went to Gazellig on
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: our first brew hoped, not this past summer, but last summer,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: which is in Newton, Iowa. And you have their backyard beer,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: which is a session hazy IPA four point eight percent. Yeah,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: looks pretty solid. Can Art's pretty cool. Looks like a backyard,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: a little little fence and tree and nice grass. And yeah,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I thought the session hazy to go along with only
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: being four to eight, it was pretty intriguing. And we
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: do record this on work nights, so four eight is
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: probably going to be pretty nice to us. I don't
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I haven't tried this. Have you tried this?
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: I have not? Nope, So I'm excited to pour it
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: up and give it a shot.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I am looking forward to it. We did on the
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: brew Hop one point zero. We did go to Gazelleg.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: What you must be flustered because I just mentioned.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay is it. Did you also say that it's
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: really close to the Maytag I.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Did not say that, but it is in Newton, Iowa.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: In Newton, Iowa is famous for being home to the
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: original Maytag factory. I think they've moved most Maytag operations
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: out of Newton now, but yeah, the old original Maytag
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: factory is kind of like in the same complex, the
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: same there's like a pavilion outside. I don't know how
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: else to describe it.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: The area looked pretty cool, and.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: We walked kind of like right alongside the old Maytag
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: building to get to Gaze Leg, which is just this
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: kind of cool little bar. There was another bar right
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: next door to it, but yeah, cool little spot. Really
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: good beer. This one smells great already, Like I can
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: just smell the happiness, and I know that it's a
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: beer that you're gonna like. And I like it too,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: because I like a hoppy beer.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: I feel like we've had a handful recently where pretty
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: much once you open the can, you're getting that nice
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: aroma of whatever that beer is. And yeah, this one
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: is very similar. It's got a really nice light hazy color,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: like almost creamy looking, not too dark. Pretty nice good
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: head retention. Yeah, we both had what I would say
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: pretty that was solid awesome poores. Although now it's gonna
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: die I have to die down for a second, but
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I'm excited. Let's give this one a track.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Gold School. It was a good tap too. It was
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I got a little mustache, a little beer mustache from
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the foam there. That's a good beer though.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: That is solid, really nice and light and refreshing, good flavor.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: It's been really hot too, yeah, like unseasonably hot for
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: the end of September. So this beer, it just hits
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: the spot right now. It was like darn near ninety
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: degrees today here in eastern Iowa. I was outside at
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: my team's practice until like five thirty this afternoon, and
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: it was just hot, and I remember thinking to myself, Man,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: I'm ready to go home and drink a nice cold beer.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: And this hits the spot. So nice pick.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, thanks, good, good job, Zeg. We really enjoy
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: this one. Yeah, we'll give it some more love here
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: towards the end of the episode, after we finished most
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: of two. Here our TikTok that we just posted before
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: the before recording has already got a couple hundred reviews.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: So that's that's doing pretty good too. Shameless plug. If
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: you want to see our TikTok, go check us out
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: at the skull Hop. On TikTok and a lot of
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: injury videos that are unfortunate for the players who get
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: injured in these games, but uh sickos like me love
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: to watch those. So we got the most recent unfortunate
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill injury out there on our page, So go
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: check that out of fear into stuff like that. But
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: if you're not and you just are here for the
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Vikings content, I guess now is the time that we
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: jump into it.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: We probably should. It was a tough one to watch,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: and honestly, I didn't watch the whole thing. I mean,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: at this point, I've seen the highlights, I know the outcome,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: I understand and what happened. It's just it was a
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: tough game, and it seems like this season is gonna
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: be a roller coaster. It's just gonna be this up
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: and down. You know, we never know as fans what
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get going into a game. If we're gonna
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: get this you know, blowout offense that we got last
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: week against the Bengals and that shut down defense, or
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: if we're gonna get this, like we'll just let Kenneth
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Gainwell run for one hundred yards. Aaron Rodgers can just
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: literally stand there untouched and go, yeah, that guy, I'll
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: just put it right in his hands. You know, you
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: just never know. I guess with this Vikings team, and
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: we got the we got the unfortunate side. It did
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: look like they were gonna come back. In fact, I was.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I was frustrated. There was that near interception with the
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: minute left, and I turned the TV off in frustration.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: My wife and I were watching it together. I turned
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: it off. I'm like, well, there's the game, and I
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: went down to the kitchen and I pulled up my
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: phone just to check ESPN. I'm like, I better make
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: sure and I'm like, no, that wasn't an interception.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Turn it back on.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Turn it back on. And I went back upstairs and
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, like, okay, come on, we've got this.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: And it just seemed like the Vikings did everything possible
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: to lose that game, and the Steelers put everything out
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: in front, like Mike Tomlin made a few coaching faux pause.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: I thought the defense, the Steelers defense was kind of
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: helping the Vikings out a little bit, and then the
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Vikings just pissed it away in the end. And that's
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: kind of how it went.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: It didn't make any sense that last last drive of
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: the Steelers, when they all they had to do is
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: just kind of run it out and get enough first
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: downs to really end the game. They just it seemed
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: like they made a couple of poor decisions, bad clock management.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: There was like a third and one that they they're
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: a fourth and one that I thought they could have
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: gone for it or even tried to kick a field goal,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: and they just didn't. And they really it really I
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: kept saying, like, what is happening, Like it seemed like
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: the Steelers were trying their best to keep the Vikings
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: in the game. And then that last drive for the
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Vikings that ultimately didn't go anywhere. But that interception was
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: it was only not an interception because there was that
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: slight bobble at the end. Otherwise it was a great
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: play by the defender and should have I mean it
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: replay really showed that it was clear that it wasn't
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: an interception, but only barely. And then yeah, the Vikings
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: just couldn't get it figured out. The big thing was
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: that delay of game. Apparently Kevin O'Connell mentioned something about
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: how they found out. He said something like about three
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: minutes before kickoff that the one or maybe even both
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: the play clock physical clocks at the end of the fields.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it was both sides weren't on
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: or if just one side wasn't on.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: And I feel like if both sides weren't on, that
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: would have affected both teams well yeah throughout the game.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But I do think even if it's just the
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: one side, that still affects both teams because you go at.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Different points in the game.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, KOs his quotes that I only read,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: I didn't hear it, so I'm hearing it basically not
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: in the right context. But it did seem like he
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: was throwing that as a major reason for the miss
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: drive at the end of the game.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: It just.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: This team is really frustrating right now. You said it earlier.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of injuries and a lot of like
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: weird injuries where it's like, well he's he might be
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: out a week or two or like six weeks or well, yeah,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: I guess I don't really know what the backup's doing
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: or how what the plan is. JJ McCarthy made the
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: trip to the Dublin and now London today they flew back,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: they flew over to London, So, like I would expect
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: if it's just an ankle at this point, JJ needs
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: to be out there. And I know that that's really
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: really a whore sentence on my part because like I'm
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: not the one with the ankle spring or the injury,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: but like you gotta think if they were about to
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: play the Super Bowl and he had that ankle injury,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: you know he'd be doing everything he could to get
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: back out of the field. I just this team is
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: really frustrating and I don't see the light at the
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: end of the tunnel for oh yeah, we just need
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Blake Cashman back and then everything will be great. Like
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: it's just we got seven guys that we hit say
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: that about and just keeps getting worse and worse.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: And I think the biggest culprit more than anything, and
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: you alluded to it, is the injuries, right, And like
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: this offensive line, there was that tweet that was going around.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: I forget which account was circulating this, but the offensive
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: line that the Vikings assembled in the off season hasn't
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: played together at all. Yeah, that like awesome starting line
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: with Ryan Kelly and Donovan Jackson and Kristen Darrisaw and
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Brian O'Neill and I'm forgetting the other one, but that
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: grew of five hasn't played together. Yet like somebody's been injured,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: somebody's been off the field, and they've had to have
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: a backup in there. And I think at one point
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: on Sunday morning they had three backups in, didn't they probably? Yeah,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: And they had to move Brandell over from guard to
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: center because Ryan Kelly went out early, and then they
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: moved over who do they move over to take over
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: for Kelly when he went out?
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Was it Jurgons?
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Jurgons? Yeah, And then Jurgons went out and so then
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: they had to move Brandell over. So it was just
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: like this domino effect of like, all right, next man in,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: but the next man in is not what you want
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: in terms of your offensive line, right.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: I don't want to get ahead of ahead of ourselves
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: too much here. Still talking about the Steelers game, you
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: get you've got some questions here that you put together
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: before we recorded. Something about the Vikings they arrived earlier
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: than the Steelers.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they did, and I think Vian O'Connell.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: I don't have a lot to back this up. I
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: only have one Aaron Rodgers quote that I did see,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: But I believe the Vikings arrived earlier than the Steelers,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: and I think Kevin O'Connell has kind of mandated this
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: since he took over as Vikings head coach. I think
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: anytime they travel internationally, he prefers to get there earlier
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: rather than later. He does not like to cut it close.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: And I like that. I appreciate that. Sure, that's the
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: way I am with my teams. We leave early for
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: any of our competitions, make sure we get there with
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: plenty of time. But Aaron Rodgers I thought this was interesting.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: He openly criticized the Steelers organization for not getting them
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: there sooner. He said something along the lines of like, yeah,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: if I were in charge, I would have gotten us
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: here on Monday or Tuesday, and yet here we are
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: and it's Friday and we just got here, or something
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: like that, like in a press conference in front of
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: a microphone.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, Aaron Rodgers is definitely not one too. He's
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: gonna speak his mind.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: He does not mince words. He he is the GM coach
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: on the field, and it's frustrating to watch as a
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: fan because I don't know. There was a moment too
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: in the game where Mike Tomlin wanted to punt on
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: like a fourth and one and he was mad about it,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: and finally they kept the offense on the field, and
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: I just thought to myself, like, man, must be nice
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: to have that much influence. Like you forget Mike Tomlin,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: He's not even the head coach anymore. Aaron Rodgers is,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: you know, like Michael Jordan in the Space Jam. He's
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: the player coach and he does.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: It all, you know.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Although I do think I don't remember specifically, but I
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: think in that scenario when Rogers was, you know, throwing
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: the field goal unit back on the sideline, I think
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: it did make sense for the offense, agreed, But it.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Was just frustrating to to see this like usurping of power. Yeah,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: like we're just not used to seeing that, as Vikings.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Like even Kirk Cousins, who was arguably the you know,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: the best quarterback that we've seen play in Purple, at
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: least in our adult lives. Yeah, you had who had
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: the most experience and is older than Kevin O'Connell or
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: like basically the same age as Kevin O'Connell. Like he
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: never did anything like that. Like if Kevin O'Connell said,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna kick the field goal, Kirk Cousins
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: came off and he might have you know, frick d
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: you know, like might have you know, punched the bench
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: in frustration that they couldn't convert. But he never questioned
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: his head coach other than that, other than Zimmer, But
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: I think that was different too. I think there was
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: more going on under the surface with that.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I did. It took me a second to
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: look it up. I couldn't remember if Kevin O'Connell if
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: this was his second trip over to London, I mean
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: it's Dublin but similar, or if it was his third,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: And it looks like they. The Vikings played in London
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two, koc's first year, and then not
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: since until now. So this so this upcoming game will
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: be his third game. But so he's been through it.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Kevin O'Connell's been through it. And this is the Vikings.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: First loss the Jets last year, didn't they?
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you're right, Jets?
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: So whatever, right, Eric Dodgers and the Jets last season.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: So this is his third trip and it'll be his
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: fourth game this coming Yeah, you're right. I totally forgot
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: about that. But the Vikings hadn't lost in London or
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: I guess Ireland now until this game, which I mean,
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: you know, it's not like they've been dominant in all
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: of those games that they've played over there, but I
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: think last year against the Jets that did take a
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Stefan Gilmour last second interception to really seal the game.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: But all that to say, Kevin O'Connell obviously has the
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: experience of being the head coach bringing his team over there.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: He's got a good travel plan and definitely with you know,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: whether he's done things travel wise that have worked out
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: excuse me, or just done things that he didn't want
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: to do again, so I would trust him and it
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: almost worked out. The whole game for the most part,
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: was really frustrating, but they did start to mount a
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: comeback and it would have been a great ending of
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: a great final drive, but they could have done it.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Like things were looking like, oh man, it's gonna be an.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: I wasn't even rooting for the tie, and going into overtime,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: I was rooting for the touchdown, like there's enough time,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: And for a minute there they had the time out
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: to spare as well. I'm like, all right, we can
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: do this. We can go down and score and we
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: can win this game, but unfortunately it didn't happen. I
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: have another question I wanted to ask you because Carson
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Wentz took six sacks, or maybe I should say the
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: offensive line gave up six sacks that resulted in losing
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: forty eight yards. I saw a stat that somebody posted
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: on today that said something along it was. It was
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: kind of like a I think it was a Pro
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Football Reference sack rate stat.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, I saw.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Did you send it to me? I think I saw it,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: though I don't think I sent it to it, but
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I saw it. We probably saw the same thing. Anyways.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: It said something along the lines of like, the Vikings
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: are currently like third, fourth or fifth like all time
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: in sack rate percentage.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the twenty twenty five Vikings are, and the yeah.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: The twenty five Vikings are kind of in this upper
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: echelon of giving up the most sacks per snap I
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: think essentially, and the other teams that are kind of
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: in that upper echelon all had losing records, and the
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: quote was basically saying like, it's kind of hard to
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: have a winning record when you give up this many sacks.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: So my question is, with all that as background, who's
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: more to blame for these sacks? Is it this depleted
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: offensive line or is it Carson Wentz taking too much
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: time holding the ball and not really having, you know,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: a true quarterback's eye on the field.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: So here's a classic Austin answer. It's both. It's right now,
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: it's evenly shared between the offensive lines performance and the
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: last couple of weeks Carson Wentz just holding onto the ball.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: So I watched the game with a few people, one
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: of them being front of the show, well, front of
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: the show, Forest and front of the show Brian. Brian
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: is a Cold fan, and he experienced a whole season
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: who oh man, Evan almost that was a heck of
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: a save right there. Evan almost overflowed his beer there.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: But yeah, Brian's Colts fan, and he experienced a whole
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: season of QB one Carson Wentz and they almost made
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: the playoffs. But I think Carson really crapped the bed
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: in their final game that season and gave away their
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: playoff spot. But the first thing he said, probably after
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: the first sack, was oh, get ready, Austin Wentz holds
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: onto the ball forever. And that kind of shattered the
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: glass for me to now that's what I'm looking for.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: And Wentz, I don't know the exact statistics of how
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: a long he holds onto that ball, but it seems
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: like he snaps the ball, stares down his first reed forever,
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: and then if it kind of opens up, then he'll
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: throw it or he'll stare down that first read and
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: then once it's too late, then he'll kind of look
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: towards the second read and he's being sacked. By then
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: he's a one read quarterback and he doesn't have the
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: mobility anymore to be able to get out of the
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: bind that he puts himself in. So I guess. So
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: my initial answer was both the offensive line and Carson Wentz,
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: but I really do feel like and here's why I
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: said offensive line too. So I guess if I had
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: to say one right now, I'd say Carson Wentz. But two,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: it's the offensive line. But for the things that we
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: were saying a few minutes ago, they haven't had their
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: starters in all together there at all, I don't think.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: And their center has his fifth concussion in his fifth
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: documented concussion in his career. At what point do you
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: hang it up there? And it's just not great consistent
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: performance by the offensive line. And when you don't have that,
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: I don't care who the quarterback is, they can't do anything.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna put a little bit more on the
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: offensive line, Okay. And it's not even on the play
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: of the offensive line, it's just the injuries and the inconsistency.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: I am a little shocked. I will say that Carson
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Wentz hasn't like miraculously improved with the choc magic that
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: we've seen him work before with these quarterbacks. And I
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: don't know, maybe it's just this like familiarity that Carson
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Wentz has built with Kaos through like the summer and
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: training camp and stuff. But we're not seeing like this
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: miraculous Josh like transformation, like oh my gosh, he could
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: actually be a true starter in the league. We're not
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: seeing uh, Sam Donald reformation like we saw last season,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: right Like Sam Donald was basically like washed up, You're
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: no good, You're gonna be a career backup. And now
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: he's he's looking great playing in Seattle. There's arguably one
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: of the best quarterbacks in the league right now, one
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: season removed from being under.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: I think that's a little.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: People playing really good I'm not the only one saying it.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: That's the thing. I'm not the only one.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: I'm not outright arguing with you because I haven't looked
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: at his stats. I just know the Seahawks have been
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: doing okay.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm not watching his game super closely either, but.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: They're currently playing as we talk. The Seahawks are right, No,
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: they're not.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: No.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, the Broncos Okay, never mind.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: They played yesterday, Yeah, and they were. But anyways, the
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: point is I'm gonna put it a little bit more
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: just on the injury alone, and again, not the of
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: the offensive line. I think those guys are doing the
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: best job they can in the situation they've been put in.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: But it just sucks when you've got a second string
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: or a third string guy that's not supposed to be playing.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Doesn't have the chemistry with these guys. The Vikings have
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of pre snap penalties too. The Vikings are
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: bottom of the league in penalties right now, and that
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: just goes to show like you don't have that a
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: team completely in there right now, and when you don't
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: have that group in there, you're going to struggle with
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: things like that, and your quarterback's unfortunately going to spend
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: a lot of time on the ground. I would also
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: like to add that JJ McCarthy seems to hold the
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: ball equally as long, if not longer, from all we
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: saw Carson Wentz in the two game sample size we
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: have of him in the NFL. So I'm a little
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: bit concerned at the quarterback position right now for the Vikings.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: And that's not something that I was expecting heading into
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: this season. I thought, Okay, they solidified the trenches. This
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: is great. We've got a young quarterback. Let's get him
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: some experience. And yeah, we remember we said all summer long,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: all through training camp, he just has to be good.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: He doesn't have to be great, he just has to
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: be good.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Well, you have to be on the field in order
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: to be good.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Correct, But even when he was on the field, he
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: wasn't good except for one quarter.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so far, it sounds very Josh Dobbs like to
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: go back to Wentz really quick. At about halftime front
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: of the Show, Dustin Baker tweeted. This was halftime against
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: the Steelers. He tweeted and said, if you expect Carson Wentz,
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Carson Wentz to play quarterback. Let me restart here he said,
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: if you expect Carson Wentz to play a quarterback nobody
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: wanted until late August, then yeah, he's doing great. But
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: if you expect Carson Wentz to play like a top
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: five quarterback, that's just not a thing. And to your
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: credit what you just said about Sam Darnold a minute ago,
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: the Vikings ended up getting arguably top five quarterback play
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: out of Sam Donald. And so everybody in the world,
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: myself at the top of the list, totally expected, like, oh,
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Kevin o'connall, he can do this. If you got a
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: guy who's physically talented and not the dumbest person in
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: the world, he can turn He's a quarterback whisper. He
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: can turn anybody into twenty twenty four Sam Donald. And
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: that's not to say Carson Wentz is the dumbest person
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: in the world. That that's not directed at any one quarterback.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: But I think at this point we're seeing a lot
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: of adversity and we're seeing maybe Koc isn't just this
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: be all, fix all quarterback magician that we thought he
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: might be.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: I also say, and actually, before we start, our beers
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: look really different. They do.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: I just noticed this. You can see it on camera.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Ten seconds ago. Yeah, your beer is a lot darker
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: the second one. Yeah, my beer was exactly the same.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: So I wonder did you taste it?
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: I haven't yet. I'm a little afraid, I know. I mean,
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Gazelleg is a really highly touted local brewery. Maybe I
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: don't know. Maybe I just got the bottom of one
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: keg and you got the top of another. I don't know,
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: because my first beer looked like yours does. Right now.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Well, if you try it and it's not good, let
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: me know, because I've got some backup beer, all right.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: And if it's not good again. Any brewery is susceptible to,
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: you know, random things that happened we've had.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: It could be a good beer, It's just it could
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: be the.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: The smells fine.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Is it as aromatic as the first one?
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: I think so, I don't know. We'll just we'll get
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: this out of the way really really quick.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Or maybe this is like the second part of your
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: purple punishment. I think it tastes is it the placebo effect?
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: I think it tastes the same as the first beer did.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: That's think there's no off flavors, definitely, no like like
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: infected flavors. Or anything.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Austin's gonna have to stay on from work tomorrow.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: No, I think we're good. I think it might just be.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sick.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: I mean really, it does smell fine. I think it
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: tastes fine. There's nothing weird about it. Just looks it's
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: kind of looks like dishwater.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Well, no, it looks like like a cider almost like
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: it looks like and it's kind of that time of year,
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: like it kind of looks like an apple cider or
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: a hard sider kind of thing.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: I think it's definitely the same beer.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Can I smell it?
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, try it if you want. I think I think
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: it's fine.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: I think it's yeah.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, if you're interested in that little detour,
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: go ahead and check out YouTube and watch us here
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: at whatever minute mark we're at right now, because yeah,
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Evans beer looks way different than mine, even though they're
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: the same the same, and it does taste fine though,
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: right it took us yep.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you get sick, I'm gonna get sick now,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: so well I would get way sicker, true, but we'll
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: be all right, all right.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: Back to the vikings.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: I would like to I would like to add this
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: to this discussion because this is kind of a it's
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: kind of this complicated, multi layer discussion of all these
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: injuries that are happening, this quarterback situation that just seems
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: to continue to nag this team and never goes away,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: like the Vikings can't ever have a good quarterback. Right,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: as he inspects the can that he just poured the
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: beer out.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Of, it's all in my head. JJ's supposed to be
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: the chosen one.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, whatever. All that aside, there was a lot of
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: stuff that came out today on Twitter about Oh, it's
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: koc the right coach, He's a bad coach, he's not
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: very good, he should get fired or whatever, and it
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: was just like, no, And I'm pretty sure Dustin Baker
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: had something to say about that too.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: I'd have to find it and pull it up. It's
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: not time to throw in the towel on Kevin O'Connell.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: And is he the perfect head coach? No, we've known this.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: We've struggled with his clock management. Clock management was an
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: issue at the end of the game against the Steelers yesterday.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: We know this about him, right, It seems like he
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: struggles to get creative in situations when the game calls
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: for him to get creative. He was down. Was it
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: twenty one or twenty four to six? Yeah, they were
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: down by a lot. Like I was frustrated. We got
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: home from church, we turned the game on and I
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: was like, whoop, the Vikings are two and two. That sucks,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: and there was kind of just no hope. And fortunately
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: that changed. But even even after I turned it on,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: it wasn't like me turning it on magically changed the
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: outcome of the game and the Vikings just started playing better.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Wasn't like that one time friend of the show, Brian
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: left when we were playing the Colts and we had
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: the greatest comeback in NFL history. It wasn't like that
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: at all. It was like, no, the Vikings continue to suck.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: This is terrible. What is going on? And then all
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, there are a couple of good plays,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: justin Jefferson caught a really good ball.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Jordan Addison had an eighty yard not touchdown.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Had that great catch that should have been a touchdown.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: With a better ball that Addison.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he had to come back for it, which maybe
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: says something about Carson Wentz's arm strength as well. But Anyways,
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: all of that to say, Kevin O'Connell not going anywhere.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: I think he's locked in for a while as the
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: Vikings head coach. I think Ownership and Quacy the GM
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: really have a lot of faith in him, and I
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: think rightly so, like he really hasn't other than the
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: season that You're still concerned about that beer, aren't you?
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: I am?
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: Because why does it look different?
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like what I've done this whole episode,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Like why does this look be different?
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: You're wearing blue too, It's true.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is like local, this is a big shirt,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: this is this is a Quad City classic and I
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: can't okay, so let me let me take it.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: We are everywhere today, right, squirrel.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Today was jersey day at school and for my kids too, Yeah,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: because it's homecoming week in our school district. And I
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: put on this really awesome all black Warren Moon jersey
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: that I've worn on the show before. It was given
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: to me by a coworker, and I was like, you
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: know what, No, I can't do it, and I took
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: it off before I left the house because the Vikings
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: lost yesterday and I'm like, I can't. I can't go
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: to school wearing a Vikings jersey. It is on me,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: but I found so my wife. I don't know why
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: my wife has this. She has a Rams Kurt Warner jersey.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, all right, he was a good guy.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: You want to sellow you and I panther he played
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: at our alma mater.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: You wore a Rams.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: I wore a Kurt Warner Rams jersey to school today
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: instead of a Warren Moon jersey. But I'm standing on
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: business here. I can't. I cannot promote this team that's
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: two and two and that is like bipolar, right, Like
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: you just can't do it. You're the one sitting here
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: wearing a Hawaians, right, I have to be that's a
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: division rival. I wore a Rams jersey Kurt Warner that
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: they don't even exist anymore. The franchise moved to LA.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I don't know. I've got some thoughts,
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: but I'll reserve them'll maybe it's this infected beer that
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: I'm drinking. You are right, though you said earlier. The
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: Vikings were down twenty four to six, and they came
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: back fifteen point crazy and if not for their own mistakes,
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: could have at least tied the game at the end.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: Very frustrating. I think the Eagles after four games last
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: year were two and two as well. You're not losing
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl in September, probably, but there's no way
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: they're done yet. They can definitely come back.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: What stat did I point out before we started recording.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I've got suspicious beer flowed through my
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: veins right now.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Point differential, Yeah, oh yeah, that's true. The Vikings currently
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: currently not that this is the end all be all.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: The Vikings, though, have struggled in point differential. Yeah, in
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: recent years. The Vikings currently through four games have a
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: better point differential than both of the Super Bowl teams
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: from last year, including the four and oh Eagles.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: Well, there's one big reason why.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: And it's the forty eight to ten win against Cincinnati.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: But but I'm just saying right like, there is a
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: reason to have hope. Kevin O'Connell is a really good
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: football coach. I have full faith in that. And between
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy, Carson Wentz and god forbid, Max Brosmer, and
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: maybe he's the best one at this point, I don't know.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: He's save us. Brosmur You're our only hope.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: In those three, I think we've got somebody that can
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: come in and lead this squad. You've got some of
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: the league's best talent. Else Wise, you've got Justin Jefferson,
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: Jordan Addison, TJ. Hawkins.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: How about Jordan Addison. By the way, not to keep derailing.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: I'll let you keep going, but when you're done, I
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: do want to talk about it.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: We already mentioned his like almost touchdown, Yeah, which was awesome,
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: But he had a really good coming out game, and
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: good for him for putting that behind him, serving his
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: suspension and all right, let's go. We need you man,
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: we need more weapons.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, I'm I was very impressed with Jordan Addison
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: coming out and playing so well. Yeah, most of his
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: stats on the stat sheet from the game are from
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: that eighty plus yard reception. That man, if that ball
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: was just two percent better, he would have scored a touchdown.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: I do think they ended up scoring a touchdown that drive,
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: did they not? Either way? Oh they did because it
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: was a short pass to I think Jalen Naylor.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: Jalen Naylor caught it in the corner, the front corner
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: of the end zone.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But even then, when that Jalen Naylor touchdown happened,
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: it was still the point where I had given up
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: on the game, So I don't even think i'd sang
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: skull Vikings. It was just like there it is. But yeah,
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: Jordan Addison was a great, great addition to the team.
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: Hopefully he keeps being a good addition. Should we just
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: go into roses and thorns?
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's do it, all right?
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: What was your main rose coming out of that game?
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: We've already kind of circled around it. But I love
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: the fact that this team still fought at the end
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: of the game. And I think that's a Kevin O'Connell
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: culture thing that he's built into this team as well.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: They got smacked in the face in the early part
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: of this game, and there's that one famous scene of
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. They tush pushed on a fourth and one
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: or whatever, and he's just standing there like this, you know,
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: like they never even snapped it to him. He knew
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: he wasn't gonna and then he just goes like this
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: first down and like I'm just like, screw you, man, Like,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: come on, this sucks, and you know, to be honest,
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: I gave up. I turned to the TV off, I'm like, well,
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: there's the game, right, and walked away. And they didn't
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: give up. None of those guys did when it would
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: have been easy to do so. And it would have
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: been easy to say, all right, we're down twenty four
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: to six in the in the late third, early fourth,
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: I don't remember which one, and say well, we got
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: to travel to London tomorrow, basically like let's look ahead
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: to the Browns. But they didn't. They fought and I
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: really appreciate that, and I think that says a lot
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: about this team, and it says a lot about the
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: culture that Kevin O'Connell was built.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: That's my rose, my rose. I gave it away a
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: minute ago. Jordan Addison coming back, and not just coming back,
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: but he played well in one game, in one catch.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: He has already doubled the production at least receiving yards wise.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: Adam Thielen has given the Vikings Jordan Addison. I think
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: Vikings fans, again myself included, we may be under selling
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: him as a really good receiver. We know he's good,
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: we know he's a first round pick, but he if
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: not for Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison would absolutely be wide
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: receiver one on this team, and we would still be saying, Hey,
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: the Vikings have a really good wide receiver one. I
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: think I hope the Vikings here in the next couple
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: of years when his rookie contract ends up, I hope
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: they find a way to move things around and be
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: able to keep Jordan Addison and Justin Jefferson, because look
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: at the Bengals, They've got two number ones there and
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: Jamar Chase, who is probably the second best wide receiver
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: in football, and then T Higgins who's right up there
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: as well. But yeah, I think we may be under
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: selling Jordan Adison just because you know he's the second
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: best receiver on the team when he would buy far
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: and above, be number one on a lot of other teams,
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: at least half the league.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: I've got T Higgins in fantasy right now, and I
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: beg to differ.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, stat wise, Yeah, but T Higgins.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: Is, He's a good receiver and there's a reason I
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: drafted him. But no, I like that a lot. And yeah,
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: he's back, Jordan Addison ready to go. We've got this
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: two headed monster at wide receiver, and I think Adam Thielen,
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: we don't want to pooh pooh on him very quickly
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: because number one, the dude took a pay cut to
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: come back. I don't get me wrong, I'm very happy
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: happy Adam Thieling is on the and I think his
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: value is less on the field and more day to
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: day in meetings things like that, like just like mentoring
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: these young guys, and Justin Jefferson has done a good
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: job of that, I think with Jordan Addison a little bit.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: But I think when Adam Thielen left, Justin Jefferson was
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: kind of like, oh, yeah, that's me now, Like I'm
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: the I'm the veteran in this wide receiver room. I'm
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: the one that these guys look up to. And not
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: to say that he's done.
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: A bad job, he hasn't. Because even the league, the
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: NFL itself pushes Justin Jefferson out there the same way
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: they pushed Joe Burrow and phenomenal all of these other
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: high level, you know, high visibility athletes. But I think
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: you're gonna see more value in Adam Theelen off the
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: field than you will on the field.
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: And I think it's worth it. I think the price
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: tag that they paid for him to come back is
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: worth it. I think for Adam theeling, it was worth it. Like, shoot,
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: the guy said, I never even sold my house in Minnesota,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: like we lived in Carolina, but we were. You were
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: always hoping to come back, and as soon it was
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: as it was made available, they came back. And I
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: think it says a lot about him as a guy too,
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: like Carolina had no good reason to get rid of him.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: They honored his requests and they're like, yeah, you're a
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: good dude. Ye want to get you back there.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: And their GM basically say that yeah, not to cut
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: you off. Sorry, but the GM said something like, well
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: the guy wanted to be over there, like he did,
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: and it wasn't well he powdered his way out of here.
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: It was like he he wanted to be there. So
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: so to the Panthers for doing that.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: So we've talked to Roses.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: Your thorn has to do with that, though, I did say,
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: where's Adam Thielen, so we again. I even with the
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: knowledge that we have now, knowing he's got what four
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: catches for like thirty something yards total through four games,
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: I would still say, yes, I'm glad, I'm glad they
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: did it. I'm glad they brought him back. I'm glad
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: that I would say do it again if they hadn't
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: already done it. But man, it just kind of seems
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: like when you have a team that, through two quarterbacks
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: now has shown signs of the quarterback struggling, looking for
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: some help, some lifelines a little bit, when you have
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: a guy like Adam Thlen who could easily just be like,
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: oh here, throw it to me. I'm open. I'm just
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: gonna do whatever I can to get open. And maybe
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: he has been. Admittedly I'm not watching Adam Thlen with
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: a microscope with each play, and I don't know enough
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: to know if he's you know, maybe he's been really
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: helpful in the blocking game, helping the running, but it
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: sure would be nice to see a few more explosive
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: plays from the guy that we're all excited to be here.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: Something I just looked up. I didn't know this until
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: literally just now, but Adam Thielen has four catches, all
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: four of them first downs.
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, well those are huge though.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: That's that's big, right, Like that's not just like he
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: hasn't been unproductive, Like there are receivers in the league
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: right now who have had negative yards for their team. Yeah,
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: and he's not done that, right, he's only got four catches.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: He's played four games. He's got four catches, but he
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: also has four first downs. Every time they've thrown in
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: the ball, they've advanced the ball and moved the sticks
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: and that's important. Right, And again, I think you're gonna
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: see the value of him more off the field than
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: you do on the field. My thorn is these injuries,
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: and not just the injuries, but that the the injuries
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: forced Kevin O'Connell to put in these backup guys that
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: don't hide his flaws very well. Right, Like we again,
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: we know Kevin O'Connell's kind of this known quantity, really
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: great hype guy. You know, the vibes are high in
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: the locker room all the time, even after a loss,
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: and I'm sure they were, you know, like, I don't
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: think he's like, you know, given it anybody the cold
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: shoulder in the locker room after a loss to the
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: Steelers like this, I don't think he's like cussing him
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: out and you know, telling him like you're all terrible
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: and you all should be ashamed of yourselves. I'm going
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: to send half of you home on the plane right now. Like,
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: I don't think any of that happened, But when you
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: have this second team or third team talent in the game,
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: it's tough as a head coach to hide your flaws
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: behind that second shelf talent. Right Like your clock management
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: is now all of a sudden, even more on display
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: because you not only have to be on top of
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: your game and get the call into the quarterback and
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: all that, but you got to make sure these backup
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: linemen know what they're doing. You got to make sure
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: that on defense everything is flowing well. Like, I think
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: the injuries are killing the team, but I also think
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: it's it's kind of on KOs again, not to say
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: that he's a bad coach, but I think he's got
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: to find a way to work through these injuries and
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: help this team find success despite the injuries rather than
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: just well, we're hurt, so we're just gonna be terrible
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: for a while. That's not the reality that we can
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: continue to live in. So thorn.
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: Yep, it's probably the biggest thorn of the whole season
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: so far. But just to run through it really quick,
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: we kind of touched on this quite a bit earlier,
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: but our segment one and segment two kind of morphed
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: into a big old one, but I think it's still
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: valuable to kind of list him out. So for injuries,
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: the Vikings right now have Brian O'Neil, who it just
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: came out earlier this evening that he had his MRI.
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: He doesn't need surgery, but he's probably still gonna miss
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: some games. They haven't put him on IR, and I
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: didn't hear anything about them planning to put him on IR,
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: but i'd still expect a few games. Donovan Jackson he
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: had risk surgery a week or two ago and they
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: said he should be back after the bye, so week
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: seven or something. Ryan Kelly, starting center, fifth career, documented
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: concussion against the Steelers, and it's a second this year.
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: Like he's already come back from concussion protocol from a
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: different concussion earlier this year. He's good, but he's also
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: like thirty two, thirty three at some point, like Wendy,
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: hang it up. Yeah, just call a spade a spade, Yeah,
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: like these can cut. It's your brain, dude. But either way,
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: he's probably not coming back against the Browns. I wouldn't
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: expect him to. Andrew van Ginkel, he had an injury,
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: came back, and then now he's got some neck injury,
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: which really is reminding me a lot of neck injuries
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: are scary because we lost Daniel Hunter for a whole
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: year over something that at one point Mike Zimmer, the
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: coach at the time, said like, oh, yeah, he won't
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: miss much time, and then lo and behold, he missed
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: the whole year. This was many years ago, though, JJ
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: McCarthy has that hurt little booboo ankle that needs to
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: get healthy real quick. And if he's even eighty percent,
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: I think you need to put him out there because
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: to me, it's getting a little ridiculous, and my mc
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: carthy leash is very short right now. Aaron Jones went,
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: my McCarthy leash, I'm I'm about ready to be like,
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: all right, this is ridiculous, Like put up our shut
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: up and get out and let brozmur take on the
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: rest of the season. So you want to see McCarthy
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: in so that he can fail, Not no, I want
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: to see him in so that he can do what
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: he's gonna do. And if he's great, then yes, let's go.
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: But if he's terrible, like we it's been a year
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: and a half now, and we've seen him in eight
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: quarters of football and he's looked okay in one quarter.
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: That's not okay, that's that's not good enough for me,
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: and oh good for me, I'm a nobody, but not
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: he can't base your whole career on it. For Kevin
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: O'Connell and Quacy, they're basing their careers on McCarthy right now,
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: and they're being overly cautious. No, if he if he's okay,
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: he needs to be out there so that he's gonna
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: do what he's gonna do, because then you can play
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: in either he's good or he's not. H Aaron Jones,
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: I think it's a hamstring? Is that why he was
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: on IR?
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: Something like that?
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: But still on IR. I think he's only missed two
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: games two well, okay, two games of the minimum four,
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: But they haven't said like, oh yeah, it's gonna be
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: way more or way less, like I don't know. And
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: then Blake Cashman, he may be the biggest piece other
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: than McCarthy because the defense runs through him and they're
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: still holding it together kind of but it's still kind
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: of rough.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: Well, we saw last week, not this week against the Steelers,
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: but last week against the Bengals, you saw Harrison Smith
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: literally move Ivan Pace Junior over and then Ivan Pace
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: goes and gets a sack. Right Like, So, if Blake
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: Cashman isn't gonna be out there, at least you have
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: Harrison Smith, who may not be the green dot, who
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: may not be the guy that's like literally calling the
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: plays and quarterbacking the defense, but at least he will like, no, dude,
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: you're in the wrong spot. Get here. Go.
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: He's the Hall of Famer on the field, you know.
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: And that was such a fun play to watch because
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: it was like and then yep, he just he moved
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: him over and then the ball was snapped and Ivan
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: Pace just goes right up the middle and gets the sack.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: And it was a beautiful thing. Granted, you're playing against
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: a depleted Bengals team who doesn't look very good, but
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you're gonna be without Cashman. At
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: least at least the silver lining is you have Harrison Smith.
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right, for sure? All right, looking ahead to the Brown.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: Just do you want to do game balls?
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: O game balls?
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: I almost forgot too, but quick game balls. I'd like
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: to give one to Justin Jefferson Yeah, now the new
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: number three all time receiver for the Vikings, which wasn't
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: a big deal, but the Vikings organization kind of hyped
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: it up in the week leading up to this game.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: All he needed was five yards to eclipse that. He
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: had a really good game though, ten catches, one hundred
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: and twenty six yards, no touchdowns. But if if you
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: look at the Vikings stat line, he has three hundred
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: and twenty six yards and a touchdown to TJ. Hawkinson's
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: one hundred and fifteen. Jordan Addison only played one game
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: one hundred and fourteen, Jalen Naylor ninety eight, Xavier Scott
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: sixty three, Aaron Jones forty four, Adam Thielen thirty seven.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: Like he just like nobody holds a candle to Justin Jefferson. Yeah, Like,
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: the dude is a national treasure. He's the best receiver
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: in the National Football League. I don't care what the
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: stats say right now. We're glad to have him. We
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: hope that he continues to find success and stays injury free,
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: and hopefully we can get the guy in the end zone.
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah a lot. Yeah, he he has seven seven hundred
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: and fifty eight receiving yards on his career as of
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: right now, and.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know that he'll ever pass Chris Carter, but
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: he's behind Randy Moss right now. For a second.
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Randy Moss has nine three hundred and sixteen as
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: a Viking, more than that, you know, in his career,
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: but as a Viking just that I believe that might.
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: Not Pro football reference is kind of tricky to read
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: that way.
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know. No, yeah, it as a Viking three hundred.
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: And six So there's a really realistic shot that JJ,
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, that is, eclipses Randy Moss second all time
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: in Viking's history. I don't know unless J. I should
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: not say JJ, because we have JJ McCarthy now, I
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: keep correcting myself. Unless Justin Jefferson retires as a Viking
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: and plays until he's basically forty years old, I don't
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: know that he's going to get to twelve thousand.
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know he's been averaging more than a thousand
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: a year. How old is he now? He's twenty six
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: right now, Let's just be optimistic and say he's going
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: to play the rest of his career as a Viking.
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: This is his what this is his sixth year. It's
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: not crazy to think, unless he gets injured a bunch,
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: that he could play at least another six years. If
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: he finishes with eight thousand yards this year, he needs
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: to get basically to thirteen thousand yards in his career,
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: because Chris Carter has twelve three and eighty three. I
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: think it's definitely doable. I don't think it's out of
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: the question to think that Justin Jefferson could finish as
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: the highest receiver in Vikings history, especially with the way
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: the league works. Right now, I'm.
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: Gonna ask chat GBT, I'm doing it right now. This
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: is what I'm saying, based on historical data. Well, Justin
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: Jefferson eclips Chris Carter for receiving yards in Vikings franchise
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: history if he finishes his career with the Vikings.
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: So right now, I just did the quick math. Justin
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: Jefferson is four six and twenty five yards away from
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: Chris Carter justin receiving yards. It's like four seasons, I
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: mean three or four the rest of this year, and
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: then another four seasons. So that's five that's yeah, five years.
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: That would put him at eleven years as a pro.
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: I think again, unless he gets injured, he could definitely
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: do that, and he doesn't seem like he has any
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: problem being a Viking, so I think it's well within
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: reason to think that he could do that.
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: Chat GPT is taking a very long time to determine
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: its answer here, so we'll see. I'll let you know
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: when it comes up, but we can move on.
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: So your game ball justin Jefferson Jalen Redmond. I think
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: it was like the first day of the game, he
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: got a sack, he ended up with two sacks. I
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: know gain well, Kenneth Cainewell did rush over the Vikings
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: pretty good, but I still think Jalen Redmond, especially after
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: a game where it's hard to figure out who you're
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: gonna give your game ball to, he definitely gets one
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: for that game. His story is really fun. Undrafted guy
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: spent a year in the UFL I think it's called,
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: and then came to the Vikings and now he's definitely
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: earned a lot of playing time. I'm a Jalen Redmond fan.
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: I hope he's a Viking for a while. So yeah,
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: game ball for that.
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: There you go. Chat GBT agrees with you. By the way,
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: it finally formulated an answer. Its answer, it says, Justin
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: Jefferson is very likely to eclipse Chris carter Vikings receiving
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: yards record within roughly three seasons.
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: It says, Oh, that's it says three. I mean if
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: he gets like fifteen hundred yards a.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: Year, yeah, that's what it's saying, fifteen hundred yards a
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: season roughly. Yeah, for the difference of four thy six
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five yards, which is currently the difference
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: between him and Chris Carter, it would take him three
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: point one seasons. So chat GPT is saying somewhere in
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: twenty seven or twenty.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: Eight, So Jefferson averages twelve ninety three yards twelve hundred
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: or twelve hundred and ninety three. But that's that's assuming
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: this year is already done. He still has time this
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: year too, so he could bump that average up a
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: little bit. Yeah, I mean it's three to five years.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: He could be the highest Vikings receiver in yards of
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: all time.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: It's just not a possibility that I've ever really considered
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: until now. And like Chris Carter's twelve thousand yards with
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: the Vikings alone, like that's just astounding and not to
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: mention the fact that that guy was an Eagle before
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: he was a Viking, Chris Carter, that is. And he
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: was kind of a like, I think it like an
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: alcoholic drug addiction was something like. He just he had
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: a lot of stuff going on, and he really turned
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: his life around and that's kind of a big part
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: of his and coming to Minnesota and coming under the
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: leadership of Denny Green really kind of changed the trajectory
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: of his life. And now he's a Hall of Famer
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: and he's one of my favorite Vikings of all time.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: And he's Chris Carter is in every sense of the word,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: the best Vikings wide receiver of all time. And that's
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: I know Randy Moss exists, but Randy played a few
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: years outside of the Minnesota, but yeah, Chris Carter consistently
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: was the best. And it would be crazy and awesome
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: to say, like, yeah, I saw the guy that was
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: better than Chris Carter in justin Jefferson.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: It would be awesome to say that. I'm hopeful for
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: that day.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: Let's look ahead to the Browns now, you alluded to
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: it a second ago. How are we feeling about the
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: Vikings Browns playing in London. Is it Tottenham or is
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: it the other state.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: I think it's Tottenham. I don't know.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: It's not a huge deal.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: The field conditions in Europe have been terrible. It is
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: at Tottenham, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The Browns not great.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: They are one in three, not great, Bob.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but they beat the Well who did they play
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: this week?
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: They beat the Packers two weeks ago.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: Yep, which was Oh, they played the Lions this week?
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they did kind of get stopped by the Lions, which.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, thirty four to ten. Okay, yeah, yeah, I don't know.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: I'm so negative on the Vikings right now. I need
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: to see JJ come back and again, if it's just
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: an ankle for me, unless it's broken, like he needs
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: to be out there like he's a professional football player,
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: get the shot or get tape up the way it
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: needs to and go play football like you're supposed to.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: He made the trip for a reason. I mean, if
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: he wasn't, if he had no chance of playing, I
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: hope the team would have been smart enough to be like, yeah,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: you don't need to travel with us, because I mean
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: being in a plane if your ankles that bad you
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: probably shouldn't be in a plane for eight hours or
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: however long that flight is.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: I feel like you're hyper rising a little bit there.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: Maybe may don't think.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: He made I don't think he made the trip over
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: to London last year when the Vikings played the Jets.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: That's a good question. I don't know.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: Did he I don't think he did.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: But he was on injured reserve though, like there was
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: no chance.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: He was on IR, and Sam Donald was playing so
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: well that there's like, really not even a chance that
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: he was gonna play.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right, well, he by rule couldn't couldn't play at all, correct,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: But when they put.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: Him in IR, even if he wasn't on IR, again,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: I think Sam Donald was playing well enough that it's like,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: you know, there's no question we're going to roll with
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: the hot hand. Donald's been playing well, and he proved
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: everybody right, darnold you know. Interestingly enough, this is my
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: lock to win for the Vikings next week. I think
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: they they easily win this one. Now, I did say
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: that the Vikings would win this one against the Steelers. Yea,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: my preseason pick was a loss, so I avoided the wheel,
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: but I did change course last week and I said, no,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: I think you know, after this blowout win against the Bengals,
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: the Vikings look good and the Steelers aren't that great.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that Kenneth Gainwell was going to rush
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: for what he did, and I didn't know that Aaron
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: Rodgers was just going to stand back there like a
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: boss and you know, get the first down without even
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: having to lift a finger. Didn't know any of that.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: Didn't know that these injuries would just like resurface like
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: an ugly whatever, I don't know what you want to
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: call it. It was bad though, like and some of
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: these injuries happened in the game, which we're a little
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: concerning too. So I still think the Vikings take care
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: of the Browns. I don't think the Browns are that
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: good of a team. I'm gonna stick with my pick.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, do you have a score?
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: Mmmm, that's a good question. I'm gonna think this is
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: gonna be a I'm gonna say, lower scoring game. I'm
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: gonna say seventeen to fourteen. Vikings, okaventeen to fourteen. I
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: think Will the Thrill has a really good kick in
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: the game, a really good field goal.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, they'd love that.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: Over there, and yeah, seventeen fourteen. Couple of touchdowns, maybe
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: Adam Thielen red zone touchdown.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: Maybe maybe seems to be about the only way he's
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: gonna get one.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: And maybe Jordan Mason on a rushing touchdown.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: All right. Yeah, so in the preseason I predicted this
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: as a win for the Vikings. So that's what the
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: purple punishments will will determine. Even though I'm gonna have
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: to wear this freaking jersey again next week, I would
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: have rather get shot by a red Rider twice than
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: where this once. Can we make that happen? Can we
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: make that deal anyway?
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: If the Vikings lose, we might have to.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: So yes, my preseason pick I said the Vikings would win. Oh,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: I'm way off that now, I'm the wheels are falling off.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: What's the phrase that our pets heads are falling off?
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: Got no food, we got no jobs?
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: Our pets heads are falling off. Well, based on your
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: preseason pick record, the Vikings can only lose two more games. Yeah,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: so you have them going thirteen and four.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that was putting a lot of confidence in
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy, who apparently his ankle hurts, so he's not
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: out there.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: Don't forget the twenty seventeen season though they went two
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: and two and then they won a whole bunch of
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: games and went to the NFC Championship.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: Yep, but they actually had a good backup quarterback then,
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: not Carson Wentz. Yeah, I just I don't see. I'm
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: not high on the Vikings right now. There's too many injuries,
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: there's too much adversity. Maybe the ship will be righted
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: at some point this year. Maybe JJ McCarthy comes back and.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: Don't get sucked into the blue.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: Never do it.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: Never.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: I'd rather be barred from watching football than enjoy a
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: Lions game. But yeah, I think right now the Vikings are.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: They're in a dark place right now, and it's gonna
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: be a couple of losses. So for me, my official
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: non purple punishments prediction is that it's gonna be a
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: loss and the defense is still gonna do Okay, they're
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: only gonna allow like twenty points, but that offense, they
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: might get a field goal and it's just going to
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: fall apart from there.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: Twenty to three.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. That's what I got.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: No touchdowns for the Viking. Yeah, all right, well.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: Thing they only did two weeks ago against the Falcons.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: So glad to know that you have a whole lot
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: of faith.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: Right know, being a fan doesn't mean I'm not totally unrealistic.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: You definitely ride the waves more than I do. Like,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: I'm just kind of like, all right, it's fine, we'll
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: hang in there. We've been through worse. We'll see how
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: it goes.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, anything else about this game coming up? Or are
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: we just ready to get it over with?
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: I'm just ready to see some more football. I'm ready
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: to hopefully see another Vikings win, and I want to
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: be able to wear my Vikings jersey the school and not.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: You could have done it. You could have you could
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: have won.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: I know one of my coworkers she like interrupted my
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: class in the middle of doing something, and she pop,
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: she poked her head in and she's got a Randy
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: Moss jersey on, and she's like, hey, look, and I'm like, hey,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: I'm in the middle of something right here. She's like yeah,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: but look, and I'm like that's great.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: She was probably looking for some camaraderie someone else to share.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: You know, she was a Vikings fan, honestly, maybe she
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: but like she's been in my room before, and I
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: have this big Vikings flag that's bigger than this one
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: in the back of my classroom, so she knows, like
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: most people in the building know, that I'm a Vikings fan,
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: and a pretty die hard one at that. So all right, Well,
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to see this team play again. I may
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: not get to watch the full thing because I'll have
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: to miss some of it for church in the morning,
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: but it is what it is.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: I'll be watching the whole thing. Oh, we got some
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: more views on our Tyreek Hill video.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: Got a couple.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, Evan, what do you think of this beer?
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: The the Backyard Beer from Gazellic Brewing.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: This beer is good, and I feel bad for you
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: because I feel like if I were drinking different colored
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: beer poured out of the same can my buddy port
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: it out of, I'd be like, I would put on
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: a brave face and say, yeah, it's great. But I
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know I got the the positive end of
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: the deal. I guess I got the consistency and the color.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: Is a really good beer, easy drinking one that I
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: would have, especially like with this hot weather that we've
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: been having, just refreshing the happiness is good. Citrusy. It's
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: a session, I PA. So it's not going to like
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: put you on your butt. I'm not going to feel
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: it like I'm not going to be going to work
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: tomorrow regretting the fact that I had a couple of these.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's a good beer. Yeah, everything the same
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: for me. Tastes great. I mean the first one that
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: I had, the color was really nice and it looked
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: really pleasant.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: You had to have gotten like the bottom of the barrel.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: Well, so that's the thing. Yeah, the color of my
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: second one is way different. But two things about that.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: It's ill tasted perfectly fine. I don't think there's anything
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: wrong with this beer at all. I'm gonna finish it.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: And if I had drank it out of the can,
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: the flavor would have been exactly the same as the
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: first one. I would have never known that the color
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: was a little different. So it has to be something
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: about when that one was canned compared to when the
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: other ones were canned. Yeah, I don't think there's any
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: issue with that. And even if, like I said, even
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: if there had been everybody's allowed to make a mistake sometimes,
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: and we know gazellek We've had enough of their stuff
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: to know that they do good, good stuff. So yeah,
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: good beer.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: Plenty of beer that we've had of there's both at
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: the brewery and cans that we've purchased from our local store.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: And I'm looking forward to having this one again. It's
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: a really good one.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is one that I could see you grabbing, like, hey,
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: we're gonna hang out, let's grab some beer, and you
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: would grab this one and we'd enjoy it well in
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: the best Saturday afternoon.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The best part for me too, is like to
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: get this kind of flavor from beer that's only four
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: eight Usually you need to have like seven percent, which
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: is fine. There's a time to place for a seven
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: eight percenter, yeap. But there's also a time and a
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: place for a four you know, four five percenter. So yeah,
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: this one for me, it's up there. It's it's really good.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: Leave it to me for a cheesy transition, But there's
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: a time and a place for a good Vikings podcast. Yeah,
• 1:12:25

  Speaker 1: So yeah, there you go. Well, I thought this beer
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: was good. I thought the game against the Steelers wasn't
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: as good as it could have been. No, absolutely no,
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: but I lost. I'm looking forward to better and I
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: don't know. This may have been one of the best episodes.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: Yet I can't agree because I'm wearing a freaking Lions
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: jersey right now. But other than wearing the Lions jersey,
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: I will agree it was a really good episode. Great beer, school.
