  You are here tonight for the tailgate show after a big Minnesota Vikings win on Sunday in
• 1:01
  Minnesota.

  We're gonna talk all about it with my guy, Big b, cohost of the year.
• 1:07
  What's going on, b?
• 1:09
  Hey.
• 1:10
  You know, after this weekend, I mean, to realize dreams, I mean and the stepping stone
• 1:17
  that we got here at SPSN, just amazing.
• 1:20
  I mean, Saturday night's golf, but, You know, Sunday morning or mid afternoon, I guess, we do
• 1:27
  a live broadcast at the Viking tailgate party before our Packer Viking game.
• 1:32
  And, you know, I mean, made some great connections, made some great friends, had some
• 1:37
  great food, some great drinks, and even, you know, hate them, like them or hate them.
• 1:45
  I got to meet the man, Adrian Peterson.
• 1:47
  Got a couple autographs there.
• 1:49
  But this week, it was just so much fun.
• 1:53
  So exhausted, but yet so much fun.
• 1:57
  Oh, in every way.
• 1:58
  I feel like I've slept for the last, two days.
• 2:02
  It's been quite nice.
• 2:04
  I
• 2:04
  had to get home first, so crashed out hard last night.
• 2:07
  And then, you know, even waking up today, got some work done, got bunch of yard work and
• 2:12
  things done.
• 2:13
  Obviously, you leave for four days.
• 2:14
  Gotta be the man of the house when I get back, and it was, like, noon.
• 2:19
  Ate my lunch.
• 2:20
  I was like, man, I I gotta get some sleep, especially knowing that we're coming on
• 2:24
  tonight.
• 2:24
  So, let's bring on coach.
• 2:26
  Coach Cody, you were on fire on Sunday, all over the tailgate.
• 2:32
  Did you have any fun this weekend?
• 2:34
  Oh, that's a understatement.
• 2:37
  I I had a blast.
• 2:40
  You know, first night, Skullfest.
• 2:42
  First time in Skullfest.
• 2:44
  Thought we saw Justin Jefferson.
• 2:46
  I've never seen god.
• 2:47
  I've never seen that look on Big B's face in my life.
• 2:51
  Like, he's just, oh my god.
• 2:53
  Like, go ahead, Big B.
• 2:55
  Tell him.
• 2:55
  You gotta tell him.
• 2:56
  So okay.
• 2:57
  So we're down at Skullfest.
• 2:58
  They're giving away stuff, and somebody asked who, you know, who's the one that drew that
• 3:05
  picture of Justin Jefferson that's on the stage?
• 3:09
  And so so I was panning around because I knew where sir Picasso was sitting, And I and I
• 3:17
  turned and, like, eye to eye.
• 3:20
  And I was like and I turned back to Cody, and I'm like, dude, is that Justin Jefferson over
• 3:24
  there?
• 3:25
  And he looks and his eyes got all big.
• 3:27
  He's like, go ask.
• 3:28
  I'm like, no.
• 3:29
  I ain't gonna go ask.
• 3:30
  You go ask.
• 3:31
  So coach you know, coach, he goes over there and he comes back.
• 3:34
  He's like, no.
• 3:34
  I see how I performed with Prince.
• 3:36
  I'm just like, oh, man.
• 3:39
  I was just like, god.
• 3:40
  That every time I saw him and there was another guy too that was wearing a Chris Dolman jersey
• 3:46
  that if it was if it was in the mid eighties, nineties, I would've swore it was Chris Dohman.
• 3:52
  I mean, it just looked like it, but I even showed my son.
• 3:56
  I go, hey, Jackie.
• 3:57
  Come here.
• 3:57
  Look at this.
• 3:58
  So I showed him the picture that you had of them performing.
• 4:02
  And he goes, you had Justin Jefferson?
• 4:05
  I was like, no.
• 4:06
  That's the perform he's like, no, dad.
• 4:08
  You gotta tell me the truth.
• 4:09
  That's just I was like, no.
• 4:10
  Is that Justin Jefferson, buddy?
• 4:12
  Yeah.
• 4:12
  He's about six inches too short to be Actually,
• 4:15
  I don't think he is because he's listed as six one, and that guy was, like, a inch under me.
• 4:20
  So but, yeah, it it was just weird.
• 4:24
  And, like, It's not good though.
• 4:25
  It is Jefferson, and he's just real good at playing it cool.
• 4:28
  No.
• 4:28
  Chris Calais is awesome.
• 4:29
  That's our that's our boy with Prince.
• 4:31
  Everyone will recognize the song that they were playing.
• 4:35
  And, Cody, I don't know why it's not working today, but we'll figure it out.
• 4:38
  We'll figure it out.
• 4:39
  Usually, when you tip the phone sideways, it gives you the wider angle, but we're not gonna
• 4:42
  worry too much about it.
• 4:44
  Stand up and show them that shirt, man.
• 4:46
  Oh, man.
• 4:47
  Look at this.
• 4:48
  Look at this.
• 4:49
  Huggie.
• 4:49
  Look at that.
• 4:50
  Yes, Skullfest.
• 4:52
  You probably you probably had to take that off since he bought it.
• 4:55
  I had to.
• 4:56
  I had to work.
• 4:57
  I had
• 4:57
  to sell some vehicles.
• 4:59
  They won't
• 4:59
  they won't let me wear no logos at Ford.
• 5:02
  I I gotta jump right in and just give our man rap and the whole Skullfest crew.
• 5:08
  We're gonna
• 5:08
  get SK on with us for a bit tonight, talk about the entire the entire, you know, of the
• 5:15
  festivities and the whole weekend leading up to it.
• 5:18
  You know, I arrived on Thursday.
• 5:20
  Got to meet all these guys, film some behind the scenes, and, you know, get some get some
• 5:25
  thoughts and really shoot some great, you know, kinda documentary style footage around this
• 5:30
  because it's their fourth year.
• 5:32
  They've been throwing this party.
• 5:33
  Yep.
• 5:34
  Every home opener, they have a venue, and and they put on this party for their fans and
• 5:39
  Vikings fans alike.
• 5:40
  And it was really cool for us to get involved this year.
• 5:44
  Felt like we added a lot of value, you know, myself, not, you know, notwithstanding what you
• 5:51
  guys were doing, but me being able to, you know, help them with the content creation side
• 5:55
  that they can't do your side.
• 5:56
  It's hard to film yourself doing stuff while you're doing it.
• 5:59
  Right?
• 6:00
  Well, the thing It's not all funny.
• 6:02
  About it or kind of threw me off guard is we act I mean, Rapid everybody actually ran the
• 6:11
  show.
• 6:12
  Cricket cricket pine is just like, hey.
• 6:15
  Like, I go do whatever.
• 6:16
  They're moving tables around and all this stuff setting up, and it it it was pretty much
• 6:23
  Skullfast bar, they could've called it, for the night.
• 6:25
  I mean, because we they ran everything.
• 6:28
  Oh, yep.
• 6:28
  And that
• 6:29
  was our first show with a live audience, so that was pretty cool.
• 6:32
  Oh, yeah.
• 6:33
  Yeah.
• 6:33
  Was great.
• 6:34
  The the first opportunity to really showcase what we can do in a live setting and then
• 6:39
  getting to turn around and not having to wait more than, you know, twelve hours essentially,
• 6:44
  until the next one.
• 6:45
  Right?
• 6:46
  You guys were down there early, and I know it was a a a late afternoon start, but I knew AP
• 6:52
  was gonna be there.
• 6:53
  I wanted to make sure that you guys had a chance to get down there.
• 6:56
  Catch the whole vibes of the tailgate, really introduce yourself.
• 6:59
  I can't can't mention any of this without mentioning Paul Slothowg and EMI Media and
• 7:04
  everything that they
• 7:05
  did to make it happen.
• 7:06
  It it was just it was huge.
• 7:08
  The whole team came together and really performed just all star caliber.
• 7:14
  Right?
• 7:15
  Everybody just knocking it out of the park doing their thing.
• 7:17
  I think we found Cody's natural element at the tailgate just doing his thing running around.
• 7:24
  I'm gonna make sure I got 500 of those tags at every Well, Bubba, we can't we
• 7:29
  can't we can't pass one.
• 7:31
  Can't pass on the earlier in the night, the preshow for Skullfest with yourself being on
• 7:37
  stage and rocking it out because everybody Oh, yeah.
• 7:39
  When when it when it got word that it was you, everybody's like, what?
• 7:43
  Bubba's on stage singing?
• 7:46
  And, like, everybody just gravitated to where you were at, and it's just like, wow.
• 7:51
  Yeah.
• 7:51
  He can rock out.
• 7:52
  So props to you, man, for, doing what you did.
• 7:55
  Well, like, I got way more reps doing that.
• 7:58
  Right?
• 7:58
  I spent the last twenty five years of my life playing in rock and roll bands on stage.
• 8:02
  Like, that to me is nothing.
• 8:04
  I could do that in my sleep and or I could do it on, you know you know, no sleep.
• 8:09
  But probably the reaction of everybody when they they're like, oh, who's out there singing?
• 8:13
  They're like, that's Bubba.
• 8:14
  What?
• 8:14
  Yeah.
• 8:15
  No.
• 8:15
  That's not Bubba.
• 8:16
  Yeah.
• 8:16
  It is.
• 8:16
  So we like, everybody just went out there and had to go check it out, so props to you.
• 8:21
  Yeah.
• 8:22
  Yeah.
• 8:22
  I mean, like,
• 8:23
  that's in in my world, that's what I'm known for.
• 8:25
  Right?
• 8:26
  I realized that all you guys have met me kind of in this content creation space, but that was
• 8:31
  my life, you know, for
• 8:32
  two and
• 8:33
  a half decades.
• 8:35
  Yeah.
• 8:35
  One, one person that came up to me, they asked me, they're like, who's on stage?
• 8:38
  I'm like, that's Bubba.
• 8:39
  They're like, really?
• 8:40
  I'm like, if you know, you know.
• 8:42
  I just kept talking to everybody.
• 8:43
  You know?
• 8:44
  Oh, and You're killing it.
• 8:45
  It pops out to if she's watching, the skull queen, Shelby, she got on stage and just killed
• 8:53
  that blues song she's saying.
• 8:55
  So props to her too if she's watching.
• 8:57
  I obviously, being a big music guy, when she sent me the song and I saw the artist and Susan
• 9:03
  did that, she is no slouch in that world.
• 9:07
  So I was like, oh, you're gonna you're gonna blow the roof off this place.
• 9:11
  Okay.
• 9:11
  Oh, yeah.
• 9:11
  She did it.
• 9:12
  Can't wait.
• 9:12
  Can't can't wait to see it.
• 9:14
  And it was great.
• 9:15
  It was so cool to see so many creators and vendors and everybody coming together just to
• 9:21
  do their thing.
• 9:22
  I mean, obviously, rap with the VocalVyke channel.
• 9:25
  I think, you know, one of one of the bigger ones, you know, generating millions of views on
• 9:30
  YouTube with with his video and his content.
• 9:32
  I've been blessed to be featured on his show, and to have him on ours has always been really
• 9:38
  awesome.
• 9:38
  This guy who's about to tap in with us here in a minute or two, a dope creator of his own.
• 9:44
  He's not doing as much of it these days, but, you know, he kinda started this way back.
• 9:48
  And what they've been doing with Skullfest and then you have a kid like Brev.
• 9:54
  Come on, my kid.
• 9:54
  He's in his mid twenties.
• 9:55
  Right?
• 9:56
  But, you know, he's writing for some pretty big online publications now and getting some
• 10:01
  notoriety, getting his articles in some big spots.
• 10:03
  So you're really looking at the future of Vikings media.
• 10:08
  You have a lot of people that are instilled in it from years, and a lot of these guys were,
• 10:13
  you know, credentialed media maybe for another company or some organization, and maybe they
• 10:19
  branched off on their own into being content creators solo, but still had relationships
• 10:24
  inside of the building.
• 10:25
  All of us out here got no connection to the building.
• 10:27
  Right?
• 10:28
  And we're we're still doing our thing and bringing that in, and I was very blessed.
• 10:32
  I'm a get him in here, man, because I get to stand next to him down in Section 127, which I
• 10:37
  didn't even Yeah. Catch
• 10:37
  Catch Yeah.
• 10:38
  Yeah.
• 10:38
  This.
• 10:40
  But got to go down and spend it with my guy.
• 10:44
  We're gonna get SK in here in just a second.
• 10:46
  His camera just went dark, so I don't wanna bring him in and surprise him.
• 10:50
  But, yeah, great great time watching the game on the inside.
• 10:54
  The energy was electric from really, start to finish.
• 10:58
  Obviously, that first, you know, first three offensive series are a a nightmare scenario
• 11:04
  for, any team, not just this Minnesota Vikings team, but any team has the guy that they really
• 11:10
  put their put their eggs in that basket, and then he goes out and get gets hurt 11 plays in.
• 11:17
  That that's just that's a nightmare scenario to watch this team rebound behind Carson Wentz and
• 11:24
  and the defense to finally in the second half make their adjustments and really go after the
• 11:30
  quarterback and to put that pressure on and a couple of turning points.
• 11:34
  Right?
• 11:34
  A
• 11:35
  Well and also too, we decide.
• 11:37
  I I don't know if Cody really, you know, noticed it, but when when Murray went down
• 11:45
  well, after the first picture that Murray went down, the people that we're hanging with,
• 11:50
  they're just like, oh, well, this is the same old Vikings and kinda tuned away from the game
• 11:55
  and just started chatting with everybody else that was out at the tailgate.
• 11:58
  So, you know, the everybody out there just kinda thought it was just the same old Vikings.
• 12:03
  It's just like, oh, can't keep the quarterback healthy.
• 12:06
  You know?
• 12:06
  Steve thought it was disabled Vikings for sure.
• 12:09
  He thought they were just gonna waltz to a win.
• 12:12
  Yep.
• 12:12
  It's not to be.
• 12:14
  See, and and that's weird because
• 12:15
  resident Green Bay Packer fan always tapping in with us.
• 12:19
  We appreciate you, Steve.
• 12:21
  I had nothing but grateful things to say to all the Packers fans that were leaving.
• 12:24
  Hey.
• 12:25
  Oh, they were great out there.
• 12:26
  We we interviewed a couple of them.
• 12:29
  You went seven three kids in the bus.
• 12:32
  I mean, they they welcomed us over after the podcast to kinda sit with them and enjoy the
• 12:37
  game.
• 12:37
  So shout out to them.
• 12:40
  Yeah.
• 12:40
  It it's it's not going away.
• 12:43
  Right?
• 12:43
  It's it's not going away.
• 12:45
  We're gonna have this twice a year as long as we all live, so there's no reason to get nasty
• 12:51
  with people.
• 12:53
  I don't see it.
• 12:54
  I I told everybody, you know, hey.
• 12:55
  Thanks for coming.
• 12:56
  Yep.
• 12:57
  Better better luck next time.
• 12:58
  We still gonna whoop that ass, but, you know, it it's never So,
• 13:03
  Bubba, beat beat it beat inside the game for the first half, did it ever not seem like the
• 13:12
  Vikings are at the home?
• 13:13
  I mean, did it quiet out after a while?
• 13:15
  It got it was pretty loud.
• 13:16
  Right?
• 13:17
  There was there was moments when the packers had something going on.
• 13:20
  It was loud because the other, the other games that I was at are are not like that.
• 13:24
  Obviously, when you have you know, we were playing the Ravens last time.
• 13:27
  Not a lot of Ravens fans making that trip over the times before that.
• 13:33
  And the the the bears game, not as much.
• 13:44
  Just the and it's not that much farther, really.
• 13:47
  But, two e, this man right here.
• 13:51
  Two evil.
• 13:52
  I cannot thank you enough, brother.
• 13:54
  You really you are the unsung hero of Skullfest in this entire weekend for me, and and I
• 14:02
  definitely want to Hey.
• 14:07
  What's up, baby?
• 14:08
  Want to get get your information, so when we're coming up there, just it it wouldn't happen
• 14:15
  without you.
• 14:15
  And not knowing that before I got there and then seeing how instrumental you were to
• 14:20
  everything going on, obviously, accommodations and getting to really look around that that
• 14:25
  beautiful space, the property at the depot.
• 14:28
  Just incredible.
• 14:29
  An incredible piece of property to really home base out of for that weekend.
• 14:33
  Was perfect for us because 903 Washington, the tailgate, is right up the street as well.
• 14:37
  The Crooked Pint was literally right kiddie corner from the hotel that everybody was at.
• 14:42
  So, yeah, Tuey, you're you're a hell of a man, and and you guys have a you guys yeah.
• 14:50
  You you showed me the utmost respect, and I I really appreciate it, man.
• 14:53
  So here we go.
• 14:55
  We got our boy Pods on tonight.
• 14:57
  What's up, Pods?
• 14:58
  Hey.
• 14:58
  Let's go.
• 15:00
  Good to see you, brother.
• 15:01
  And I know pod Pods grandma is having some some health issues, so our prayers will watch you,
• 15:06
  obviously, our our brother out in California.
• 15:08
  She's gonna have to have some some surgery here soon, and I know our boy
• 15:12
  is pressing.
• 15:13
  Grandmother pods.
• 15:14
  Yep.
• 15:15
  And and know that know that we're with you always, man.
• 15:17
  We're always just one phone call away, and I know that goes for me and and everybody else
• 15:21
  here on this screen.
• 15:22
  But it was yeah.
• 15:24
  I mean, not not without its its challenges, this game.
• 15:27
  Right?
• 15:28
  Kyler Murray goes down.
• 15:30
  Didn't look good to begin with.
• 15:31
  Right?
• 15:32
  I I think watching your first pass, and I was like, I was still finding my seat.
• 15:36
  Right?
• 15:36
  Like or
• 15:37
  I didn't have I didn't I wasn't going to my seat, but I was finding where I was gonna hang
• 15:40
  out.
• 15:41
  And it was In
• 15:42
  the kitchen, back hallway, you heard
• 15:44
  all fluttering through the air, and I'm like, seriously?
• 15:47
  Like, that's the that's the first pass of the Kyler Murray era.
• 15:52
  So not a great start.
• 15:53
  You hate to see anybody take a hit like that, a dirty hit.
• 15:57
  No doubt.
• 15:58
  His helmet was already kinda coming off and then kinda caught it up under the chin a little
• 16:02
  bit too.
• 16:03
  So really brutal to see that.
• 16:05
  You know, probably leads to a suspension, I would imagine, up there.
• 16:10
  The offense was I mean, it starts and stops.
• 16:15
  Right?
• 16:15
  Sputtering early and then finally kind of found their feet.
• 16:19
  Carson was holding on to the ball way too long.
• 16:21
  You can ask SK.
• 16:22
  We're gonna about to get him in here now.
• 16:23
  Oh, he got the lineup.
• 16:24
  Much better SK.
• 16:25
  That's that's that's much better.
• 16:27
  Let's get our guy in here, and we're gonna talk get into the game because this man this man
• 16:31
  loves ball.
• 16:32
  And I didn't know this before meeting him.
• 16:33
  A lot of us, you know, me as a creator, I really like to hone into the fans.
• 16:37
  I I like to, you know, the vibes of everything, but this man knows his ball, and he absolutely
• 16:42
  loves it.
• 16:42
  So let's get our guy, SK, up on the screen.
• 16:46
  SK's yelling at some kids right now.
• 16:48
  That's the life, man.
• 16:51
  Let's go.
• 16:52
  That's life for sure.
• 16:54
  Beautiful life.
• 16:56
  Hey.
• 16:56
  Yeah.
• 16:57
  No.
• 16:57
  Most definitely.
• 16:58
  Most definitely.
• 16:59
  It's a blessing.
• 17:00
  Introduced you to the guys, but everybody here knows each other already.
• 17:03
  So Yep.
• 17:04
  What's up, Escape?
• 17:05
  We're already family.
• 17:07
  Oh, yeah.
• 17:08
  What's going on, guys?
• 17:10
  How we feeling?
• 17:12
  I'm still wailing the deal over what we've had this weekend from Skullfest to the tailgate
• 17:19
  ending with a Vikings victory.
• 17:21
  So I'm I'm good.
• 17:23
  Yeah.
• 17:24
  SK, show show off them braids, man.
• 17:26
  We gotta shout out our girl, Brie, up there.
• 17:28
  Minnesota braid slayer, man.
• 17:30
  She's she got she got SK done upright.
• 17:33
  Yes.
• 17:34
  Yeah.
• 17:35
  Minnesota braid slayer.
• 17:36
  Okay.
• 17:38
  It was oh, it was like Yeah.
• 17:44
  No.
• 17:44
  I didn't
• 17:44
  think about that.
• 17:45
  I was filming it the whole time.
• 17:46
  I was kinda doing something, but she did.
• 17:48
  She did make it look like a football.
• 17:50
  Yeah.
• 17:50
  That's epic.
• 17:51
  Yeah.
• 17:51
  That that girl can braid some freaking hair.
• 17:53
  We got some awesome footage of that.
• 17:55
  You're definitely gonna see it on the documentary.
• 17:59
  Yeah.
• 18:00
  Just like, I will tell you.
• 18:02
  When I was there, I told her I was like, just do your thing.
• 18:04
  I was like, I'm just gonna let you do your thing.
• 18:06
  I'm just here to I'm here.
• 18:08
  Tell me how much it is.
• 18:10
  Yeah.
• 18:10
  You have fun with it.
• 18:12
  And that's awesome.
• 18:16
  No.
• 18:16
  And she went to town, man.
• 18:18
  That's I was gonna say that's awesome when you have so much confidence.
• 18:20
  When you trust someone so much, you're like, hey.
• 18:22
  Do your thing because, hey, Aaron, you messed up mine.
• 18:25
  I'm like, now I'm looking a little chatty because
• 18:27
  you messed up mine.
• 18:29
  And, like, these hands work.
• 18:32
  I don't think she can bread your beard, skull, and roll, but
• 18:35
  she
• 18:35
  can braid you spell braid wrong again too.
• 18:38
  That's not braid.
• 18:38
  It's b r a I d.
• 18:40
  But we're getting there.
• 18:41
  You're getting there, dog.
• 18:42
  It's okay.
• 18:43
  It's okay.
• 18:44
  No.
• 18:44
  It's hilarious.
• 18:46
  SK, obviously, we're we're in the stadium.
• 18:49
  Me and you are watching the game together.
• 18:52
  I missed the first part of it with you got in there at the end of the first quarter as Wentz
• 18:58
  was obviously taking over at that point.
• 19:00
  What was because it was kind of a tale of two halves.
• 19:03
  Right?
• 19:04
  So after after the first half and moving into, you know, going through halftime, what are what
• 19:10
  are the feelings inside?
• 19:12
  Is there hope still?
• 19:13
  Or do you have faith in Carson Wentz, or or or is it, you know, kind of, here we go again?
• 19:19
  Hey.
• 19:20
  What what was I telling you at the end of that game, Bubba?
• 19:25
  Do you do you rem do you remember what I was saying?
• 19:28
  He says, I want whence.
• 19:33
  Good call.
• 19:34
  With the fain of the universe on the line, I want Carson Wentz.
• 19:39
  I'm at I'm a ride it out with Carson, man.
• 19:42
  To hell with it.
• 19:42
  What do we have to lose?
• 19:44
  It was I mean, he didn't have some amazing great game or game, but he he did what he
• 19:50
  needed to do.
• 19:51
  He made the big throws that he needed to make.
• 19:55
  I've made it pretty clear of how I feel about Kyler Murray and how I've how I've felt about
• 19:59
  Kyler Murray.
• 20:01
  I said that at, you know, the Skullfish show, and he showed.
• 20:05
  I mean, the the the biggest concerns I had with Kyler Murray showed up in the first, like, four
• 20:12
  minutes of the game.
• 20:13
  So Yeah.
• 20:14
  He got 11 plays.
• 20:16
  Got 11 plays.
• 20:17
  Now I'll never wish injury on anybody whether on my team or not regardless of how I feel
• 20:23
  about the guy because that I I don't hate the guy personally like some people do for other
• 20:28
  players on our team that may play the same position.
• 20:31
  But I I just never liked his style of play.
• 20:34
  I never thought he produced wins like he should.
• 20:38
  He has the talent, but he doesn't have the the mental to really be a franchise quarterback in
• 20:43
  the NFL.
• 20:44
  So I'll never wanna see any player get injured by any means.
• 20:51
  But seeing Carson come in the game and us being able to move the ball, that that tells you
• 20:57
  something.
• 20:57
  I mean, we want a big strong quarterback that'll hang in the pocket and make big throws
• 21:02
  and give Justin Jefferson those fifty fifty balls, and that's exactly what Carson Wentz is
• 21:08
  doing.
• 21:09
  And that's exactly what he did week one against the packers in that comeback win.
• 21:13
  I think what's really important to circle in all of that is that Kyler Murray cannot make
• 21:18
  those throws that Carson Wentz does just by the physical limitations of his height.
• 21:22
  He can't hang in the pocket and see over everybody and able to launch that up and over.
• 21:27
  That's how you do it, Pods.
• 21:29
  If you want a question, brother, you just gotta pop in.
• 21:31
  Look at this.
• 21:32
  We're gonna braid Pods beer.
• 21:33
  I wanna get him in here.
• 21:34
  This is epic.
• 21:35
  This is our guy, Pods, k.
• 21:37
  He's out in Cali with you.
• 21:39
  This is my guy I was telling you is out there in Apple Apple Valley.
• 21:42
  Right?
• 21:43
  Is that what it is?
• 21:43
  Where are you at, Pods?
• 21:44
  Apple Valley.
• 21:45
  Yeah.
• 21:45
  Apple Valley?
• 21:46
  Yep.
• 21:47
  Thirty minutes away.
• 21:48
  California.
• 21:49
  Shit.
• 21:50
  Apple Valley, Minnesota?
• 21:52
  No.
• 21:52
  Apple Valley, California.
• 21:53
  I'm
• 21:54
  Oh, alright.
• 21:54
  I was gonna say thirty minutes away.
• 21:56
  Like, shit.
• 21:57
  More like, you know, three, four, five hours from a flight away.
• 22:01
  Sure.
• 22:01
  What how are doing, boys?
• 22:04
  Man.
• 22:05
  Feels a pod.
• 22:06
  Doing good.
• 22:06
  Hey, pods.
• 22:07
  Go ahead.
• 22:07
  Threw it in.
• 22:08
  You had a question.
• 22:08
  I was gonna get to it in the chat, I just missed it.
• 22:11
  Okay.
• 22:11
  Two parter, actually.
• 22:13
  First one's for coach, though.
• 22:16
  High scoring game for the offense to win, but also not exactly what I was expecting from that
• 22:22
  Brian Flores defense.
• 22:24
  Do you think it's just week one jitters,
• 22:26
  or what do you think?
• 22:27
  I think it's a little bit of the week one jitters.
• 22:31
  Harrison Smith not practicing with the team.
• 22:34
  Yeah.
• 22:34
  He's a veteran.
• 22:36
  He doesn't really have to prove himself, but you still need to get them reps and just get
• 22:40
  used to playing next to each other.
• 22:43
  I'm glad we had him because, honestly, we probably would've given them 500 passing yards.
• 22:48
  Yeah.
• 22:50
  And then the two parter, this one's this is the tailgate.
• 22:54
  It's not this one's not necessarily Vikings related, but holy crap.
• 22:58
  Kenneth Walker, 191 total yards from scrimmage, two touchdowns, and a fourth and one sixty yard
• 23:06
  run to the house in prime time to enter the new team with the Chiefs.
• 23:12
  I think running backs are gonna be a focal point this year from what we saw over this
• 23:16
  weekend.
• 23:17
  I really do.
• 23:19
  Lot of great running performances, and the Minnesota Vikings actually had a relatively
• 23:25
  good run game.
• 23:27
  I think they need to lean on it a little more.
• 23:29
  Yeah.
• 23:30
  I don't think either one of them jumped off the page, but the fact that you ran it more than
• 23:34
  you passed it shows some humility.
• 23:36
  The coach at the podium after the game showing some reflection that I I think even SK, you
• 23:43
  know, even though we didn't know each other last season, I think, you know, knowing you a
• 23:46
  little bit now, you are echoing the same sentiments that coach and b and I were here.
• 23:51
  Like, man, you you know like, we understand that this team can't do what you wanted to do.
• 23:57
  Like, it's not gonna be pretty like that.
• 23:59
  This team is built to play smash mouth, strong defense, turn the ball over, time of
• 24:05
  possession.
• 24:06
  And to have that time of possession, you have to run the football, and you have to be
• 24:09
  committed to running the football.
• 24:11
  And when you stick with it, good things eventually happen.
• 24:15
  You wear that off or defensive line down.
• 24:18
  You're leaning on them all game, and then you break one.
• 24:20
  Right?
• 24:20
  I think what Jordan Mason had a 28 yarder at one point during the game.
• 24:25
  That's all we're asking for.
• 24:26
  Get one of those.
• 24:27
  Get get a couple of these, you know, eight, nine yard runs.
• 24:29
  It would have been really nice of that Aaron Jones run where he kinda got tripped up and and
• 24:34
  went down.
• 24:35
  Would have gone.
• 24:36
  Still don't think he got touched by anyone in white This is you know, here or after the game.
• 24:42
  And, you know, it's important.
• 24:45
  It was important to me to see the play calling be what it probably should have been all of
• 24:50
  last season as well.
• 24:51
  And and you may have squeaked into the playoffs, but it's this season.
• 24:55
  You start out one and o against the rival.
• 24:57
  That building was just on fire, man.
• 24:59
  Once the tide started to turn, you know, obviously, you have the the the field goal and
• 25:04
  the offsides and that ensuing stop on fourth down, but Miles Price had some you were
• 25:09
  starting to see signs of life earlier.
• 25:11
  And I think that's why when you had the turnover on downs and then the kind of stepping
• 25:16
  on their throat after that and and and that mentality man, when you got that building
• 25:20
  behind you, you gotta feel like you're on top of the world, man.
• 25:24
  Like, I I I've been adored by some fans.
• 25:26
  Right?
• 25:26
  And I've been on a stage where, you know, even Skullfest, great great friend.
• 25:31
  Like, I vibe.
• 25:32
  I've been in that vibe and and been that focal, but there ain't nothing like 70,000 people just
• 25:37
  going ape shit.
• 25:39
  It was an unreal, man.
• 25:40
  An unreal game and and a really couple of big, big moments.
• 25:44
  And, SK, I was so glad I got to be down there in your little hidey hole standing room only
• 25:49
  down there.
• 25:49
  Yeah.
• 25:49
  Yeah.
• 25:50
  Hanging out, watching the game with my brother.
• 25:52
  That was awesome.
• 25:53
  Yeah.
• 25:53
  We had plenty of room to run around too.
• 25:56
  Like but that It was me first that first two and a half quarters, like you said, it was
• 26:02
  rough, man.
• 26:03
  We were up there frustrated.
• 26:05
  And now Kyler Murray's one story, obviously, it took Carson Wentz to kinda get in the groove a
• 26:11
  little bit.
• 26:12
  There were some misses.
• 26:13
  Like like I said, his game wasn't perfect.
• 26:16
  Like, there was a lot of bad throws in I'm not gonna say a lot.
• 26:19
  There was some bad throws in there as well.
• 26:21
  There was that late pick that, luckily, we had that, legal contact on TJ Hockinson down there
• 26:28
  in the end zone because that that pick would have changed everything for us.
• 26:32
  That could have been a completely different game.
• 26:34
  So he's not perfect.
• 26:36
  Neither is Kyler.
• 26:37
  Neither is JJ McCarthy.
• 26:39
  This team is obviously not perfect.
• 26:41
  But this also is the first game of the season.
• 26:43
  If you can squeak out a win well, can't say squeak out, but fight out a win, a tough win in
• 26:51
  division, at home, come back, and still finish the week one and o, hey.
• 26:58
  You can't ask for much.
• 26:59
  But I think we all know.
• 27:01
  We're all smart enough here to see that we're definitely not where we need to be if we want
• 27:07
  to be a playoff team, a contending team.
• 27:09
  That wasn't a playoff contending team, at least in the first two and a half.
• 27:14
  Yep.
• 27:15
  Yeah.
• 27:15
  I mean, the the calls happen, and the calls in the first half were going all the packers way
• 27:20
  too.
• 27:21
  So if we're gonna bail out the Minnesota and say it was all them, well, then you could say
• 27:25
  the same thing about some of the calls that were going that way the other way rather in the
• 27:30
  first half.
• 27:31
  I feel like
• 27:31
  a lot of people haven't played football.
• 27:33
  Don't grab players.
• 27:34
  Right?
• 27:35
  Don't do you know, you don't cause the problem, and there's not gonna be the flags on the
• 27:39
  field.
• 27:39
  I think
• 27:40
  what it was is that you finally had you were pressuring the defense.
• 27:44
  You were starting to dictate the terms to the defense, and that's when guys start to get a
• 27:49
  little grabby.
• 27:50
  That's when things are start to be a little So it's not just the reps bailed them out.
• 27:55
  It's that the offense was starting to impose their will on it, and that's where things get
• 28:00
  difficult.
• 28:00
  And in that first half, you know, our defense wasn't dictating the terms to the Green Bay
• 28:07
  packers in that way.
• 28:08
  They changed that in the second half.
• 28:10
  I think, what, a 68% or something blitz rate out of Brian Flores.
• 28:15
  And that was in the first half too, and a lot of the big plays that you saw weren't
• 28:18
  necessarily busted coverages.
• 28:21
  It's just that you're you're stressing your defense when you're sending seven on every
• 28:25
  play.
• 28:26
  Right?
• 28:26
  When when you're sending
• 28:28
  more than 68%.
• 28:30
  Was it more?
• 28:30
  It might be more.
• 28:31
  Yeah.
• 28:32
  I it was more than sixty
• 28:33
  eight seventy eight.
• 28:34
  I think it
• 28:34
  was between 7080%
• 28:36
  or something.
• 28:36
  It was, like, 78% of the time.
• 28:38
  This is insane.
• 28:39
  That's that's a wild number.
• 28:41
  They are man, hey.
• 28:43
  Brother, skull and roll.
• 28:44
  Yeah.
• 28:45
  Packer fan's gonna whine.
• 28:47
  That just it is what it is.
• 28:48
  They need a little whine to go with all that cheese, dog.
• 28:51
  That it just it is what it is.
• 28:53
  I I ain't listening to none of that nonsense.
• 28:55
  Though too, Bubba.
• 28:57
  It's week one for the refs as well.
• 28:59
  All the stuff that happened I don't
• 29:00
  don't think there was anything egregious.
• 29:02
  I I don't feel like there was anything that was egregious.
• 29:06
  The defensive the the illegal contact that took the interception off the board, he he almost
• 29:11
  tackled him.
• 29:11
  If Hawkinson doesn't stay up in that moment and keep his balance, they're both on the ground.
• 29:17
  So it it that was an egregious call.
• 29:20
  It needed to be made.
• 29:22
  I'm trying to think of one of the other ones on that drive.
• 29:25
  I know we had a
• 29:25
  couple a lot of girls face
• 29:27
  mask on Jefferson.
• 29:28
  He that face mask.
• 29:30
  Ground.
• 29:31
  Mhmm.
• 29:32
  Yeah.
• 29:32
  And they missed one.
• 29:33
  The the
• 29:36
  flag that they picked up with the block in the back for Watson's touchdown, you know, Packers
• 29:42
  are like, well, that was the right call.
• 29:44
  That was the right call.
• 29:44
  But yet, last year, they're making that call.
• 29:46
  That was a black in the back last year.
• 29:48
  So Yeah.
• 29:49
  My thing is they picked it up.
• 29:51
  That's it.
• 29:52
  Crazy with every call the refs make, but it happens.
• 29:57
  That's the big deal.
• 29:58
  Bubba, the one thing I will say about the officiating this week and going into this
• 30:03
  season is it looks like they are finally clamping down on OPI.
• 30:07
  Like, that is finally getting clamped
• 30:09
  down.
• 30:10
  Yeah.
• 30:11
  I did notice that too.
• 30:12
  I know that
• 30:13
  OPI is getting clamped down on
• 30:15
  the other those pick plays.
• 30:17
  Right, pods?
• 30:18
  I'm guessing that's
• 30:20
  Well, it's it it the pick plays, as long as they're schemed correctly and it's a crossing
• 30:26
  route and there's no direct contact made towards, like, a stop gap, like, say, it's an
• 30:31
  option route or it's a stick route where you can just go chip block and go, that's still
• 30:37
  legal.
• 30:38
  But you can't just, like, box somebody out or, like, sit there and actually throw a pick.
• 30:43
  It's just a matter of scheming it right.
• 30:46
  The one thing I will say though that I noticed in this is just observation with the the NFC
• 30:53
  North and the division.
• 30:55
  I'm a little scared for the Vikings in one regard is that defense might not be enough to
• 31:01
  stop the bears.
• 31:03
  And I don't know if the offense can score enough if the defense even like, because they
• 31:09
  scored 59 against Carolina.
• 31:10
  I think with Minnesota's defense, they're still gonna put up 34 points.
• 31:15
  I don't know if Minnesota can put up 34 against them, though.
• 31:19
  We'll see about 34.
• 31:20
  That that that's a lot of points to score on this defense.
• 31:23
  The the plays that went on the the big Carson or the big, rather, the Green Bay touchdown to
• 31:32
  what's his name?
• 31:33
  Watson?
• 31:34
  Watson?
• 31:34
  Yeah.
• 31:35
  To Watson.
• 31:35
  Caleb is good.
• 31:36
  Caleb Wilson is
• 31:37
  so good.
• 31:37
  Like the one position of the we ain't talking about Chicago yet, pods.
• 31:41
  I'll Get out of here.
• 31:44
  For later There we go.
• 31:45
  I'll bring him
• 31:46
  I'll bring back.
• 31:47
  We
• 31:47
  ain't talking about that.
• 31:48
  Let us have this win.
• 31:50
  Let us have it.
• 31:52
  SK, any any kind of final takeaways from that?
• 31:54
  I know you gotta get back to the family and do your thing, but we wanted to give you an
• 31:58
  opportunity to come in here, pop in.
• 32:00
  And it doesn't even have to be game related.
• 32:01
  Just final thoughts on the weekend as a whole and everything from Skullfest and then,
• 32:08
  obviously, tailgate and the game and then getting to reconnect with your VWO family after
• 32:14
  the game as well.
• 32:16
  Yeah.
• 32:17
  No.
• 32:17
  I mean, all in all, the the week one was great.
• 32:20
  Obviously, the cherry on top is the Vikings beating the packers in that fashion as well.
• 32:27
  But the weekend in a whole was just great.
• 32:31
  Skullfest, just being around family.
• 32:34
  And you I only get to see, you know, these guys once, maybe twice a year if I'm lucky.
• 32:39
  So, us being as close as we are, we talk every single day, and now Bubba's made his way into
• 32:46
  that that chain of, of conversation and contact as well.
• 32:50
  So I'm sure we're all gonna be in the same boat.
• 32:54
  But only being able to see these guys that many or that few times throughout the year makes
• 33:01
  those times that much more special.
• 33:03
  And being able to make those moments fun and exciting and even outside of the football
• 33:08
  realm.
• 33:09
  Like, we we always make sure we have a night to where it's like, let's go to the bar and let's
• 33:13
  just get drunk for the night for us that drink, or let's just go have a good time for the
• 33:18
  night.
• 33:19
  Those are the nights that I kinda enjoy the most because, you know, we all have different
• 33:24
  opinions just like I'm sure you guys do, whether it be quarterbacks or defenses and
• 33:28
  stuff.
• 33:30
  But when it comes to that, we're all hanging out.
• 33:32
  We get to bond on a different level outside of just football and Vikings, and you get to learn
• 33:37
  about people's life.
• 33:38
  Like, for instance, Bubba, like, obviously, what we've known each other maybe a month,
• 33:44
  like, talked.
• 33:44
  We just met each other in person.
• 33:47
  But I can say that I don't think I've learned as much about Bubba as I've learned about as
• 33:55
  much as anybody else in that short of time.
• 33:58
  Like, I feel like I know Bubba's history.
• 34:02
  I know where he lives.
• 34:04
  I know his Social Security number.
• 34:06
  I know his routing number, checking account, the like.
• 34:10
  You know?
• 34:10
  Like, I've I obtained all this information just from Bubba in this short period of time and
• 34:16
  just how he rolls too.
• 34:18
  I don't know if he he told you the story of how he got down to my section, but it was a pretty
• 34:24
  interesting story from my perspective.
• 34:26
  Ask the locker rooms or something like that.
• 34:28
  Said
• 34:28
  the signs, man.
• 34:30
  He told me what section he was in.
• 34:32
  I followed the signs that I saw there.
• 34:34
  It's not like they're not on the wall.
• 34:35
  Yeah.
• 34:35
  I the the guy the guy at the front must have known Bubba, and he was just like, come on in,
• 34:40
  Bubba.
• 34:41
  But I he's he he texted me, says, section are you at?
• 34:45
  So could I'm I'm at 01:27.
• 34:47
  I was like, but you I think you you need to buy a ticket to get down here.
• 34:52
  Like and he's like, oh, well, I'm at 127.
• 34:55
  And I'm like, what do you mean you're at 127?
• 34:57
  And I turn around, and here's Bubba coming around the corner just his old strut.
• 35:03
  Like, he owns the place.
• 35:04
  And I'm
• 35:04
  like, okay.
• 35:05
  Welcome to the
• 35:06
  party, Bubba.
• 35:07
  Like so and was able to take in the rest of the game with each other, which was awesome.
• 35:12
  I'm used to taking in the game alone, which I do enjoy because I like networking and meet new
• 35:17
  people and stuff.
• 35:18
  But be being able to have Bubba there and just kinda shoot the shit with each other during the
• 35:23
  game and go through the roller coaster of emotions with somebody that has a a a very
• 35:28
  similar perspective of my own.
• 35:31
  It was fun, so I appreciate that.
• 35:33
  But everything was great.
• 35:34
  And and meeting you guys as well, Cody, Big B, like, it was great, bro.
• 35:39
  And I I befriended you guys on social media as well, so we're all family now.
• 35:43
  Oh, yeah.
• 35:44
  Yep.
• 35:45
  That's what I said, man.
• 35:46
  I I came with a purpose.
• 35:47
  I I knew what I was setting out to do, and I left with a bunch of new family.
• 35:52
  Right?
• 35:52
  Left with a bunch of new brothers and sisters, and, you know, we were talking earlier about
• 35:56
  Shelby and her getting up and and not only all the clothes that Kennedy makes and trying to be
• 36:01
  in the face of that, but then just blowing the roof off the place with her performance and
• 36:06
  coming in and talking ball with us.
• 36:08
  I was really blown away by her
• 36:10
  Oh, her knowledge.
• 36:11
  Of ball.
• 36:11
  Yeah.
• 36:12
  Yeah.
• 36:13
  And her story.
• 36:14
  So, yeah, looking forward to connecting with her more.
• 36:16
  And then we had Dakota on with us as well, which was really cool.
• 36:20
  Another Vikings creator.
• 36:22
  You know that's all California peeps.
• 36:23
  Right?
• 36:24
  You're saying all California peeps right there.
• 36:26
  Yeah.
• 36:26
  Well and I I would've never thought that the Vikings had such a a, you know, kinda large,
• 36:33
  contingency out there in there.
• 36:35
  But, yeah, some reason Goldenroll said he's up in San Jose, so another one.
• 36:39
  Yeah.
• 36:40
  Dumb.
• 36:40
  Our guy Jason Harmon is from Southern California as well.
• 36:43
  Now he's in Minnesota now.
• 36:44
  But
• 36:45
  It's a Paul Allen effect.
• 36:47
  Awesome.
• 36:48
  That's right.
• 36:48
  Del, I'm a get you a link, doggy.
• 36:51
  I'm a get you hooked up.
• 36:52
  My guy, Del.
• 36:53
  Yeah.
• 36:54
  Dale hops on in the next few minutes, I'm a hang till Dale taps in.
• 36:57
  Dale's my guy.
• 36:59
  Get in here.
• 37:01
  Yeah.
• 37:01
  I like I like that sweater, though, though.
• 37:03
  Right away.
• 37:03
  No.
• 37:03
  That's what I'm
• 37:04
  pretty nice.
• 37:06
  That's what I said.
• 37:06
  It's day one.
• 37:07
  I I got I got the throwback on.
• 37:09
  I got the throwback.
• 37:10
  Okay.
• 37:10
  Okay.
• 37:10
  Okay.
• 37:11
  So
• 37:15
  The Chiefs.
• 37:16
  I'll bring pods back in while I dip out.
• 37:18
  I'm a try to get down.
• 37:20
  Alright.
• 37:21
  So, guys, as we, you know, watch the game and stuff like that, coach and everybody for I know
• 37:28
  I know we're gonna say yes to Packers who took the points off the board.
• 37:32
  But, man, what are the decisions the coach made on that penalty to go for it on fourth to one
• 37:38
  instead of kicking it?
• 37:38
  What do you do you guys think that was the right call, or what do you guys think?
• 37:42
  I mean, for
• 37:43
  Yes.
• 37:44
  Yeah.
• 37:44
  60 yard house call, I'm just
• 37:48
  I mean Yeah.
• 37:49
  And then and then you get and then you get stuck by Big Citrus.
• 37:52
  I mean and and I think that's what a month of change was that stop right there.
• 37:57
  So there's a lot of reports saying that Jordan Love changed the play call at the line of
• 38:02
  scrimmage.
• 38:03
  Some people are saying he did it, but I mean, coach, you're a defensive guy.
• 38:08
  How hard is it to take those points off the board?
• 38:11
  I mean, hard.
• 38:13
  It's it's extremely hard.
• 38:14
  If you can get them, take them.
• 38:16
  You know what I'm saying?
• 38:17
  Yeah.
• 38:18
  Just a gutsy call.
• 38:21
  Yeah.
• 38:21
  But I'm a gambling man, so I'm I'm right there
• 38:24
  with you.
• 38:25
  Well, it looks like the package are too, but so overall, you know, SK I mean, next you know,
• 38:34
  since you're gonna be jumping off here shortly, next week, I mean, once is the guy here on out,
• 38:40
  or is it gonna go week by week?
• 38:41
  What do you think, SK?
• 38:42
  Well, I I think, obviously, I think Murray's out this week.
• 38:46
  I think we can all agree there.
• 38:47
  Right?
• 38:47
  You don't bring a guy back after seeing something like that for at least a week or two.
• 38:52
  He's in concussion protocol, so it's probably gonna be one or
• 38:55
  two games at minimum.
• 38:56
  Yeah.
• 38:57
  Exactly.
• 38:58
  So, look, if Wentz goes out there and I'm not saying he has to light it up and throw for 400
• 39:04
  yards.
• 39:05
  If he can play like Alex Smith, then that's a solid.
• 39:09
  Yeah.
• 39:09
  Don't turn the ball over.
• 39:11
  One more Kansas Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs reference out of you pods, I'm banning you,
• 39:15
  dude.
• 39:16
  Alex Smith, last played for the Washington commanders.
• 39:21
  I mean, he's not one his leg in half.
• 39:26
  You don't need him to throw for 400 yards or anything like that.
• 39:29
  Just don't turn the ball over.
• 39:31
  And and to be
• 39:32
  honest with you, if we look at and and I give KLC credit, and and Bubba will will tell you
• 39:38
  guys, I was pissed at KLC even after the game.
• 39:40
  Like, we can't let him off the hook.
• 39:42
  But one thing I do gotta give him credit for is that he stuck to the run, and that's what we've
• 39:48
  been asking him to do for so long.
• 39:50
  Yep.
• 39:50
  Stick to the run.
• 39:51
  Stick to the end, and that's exactly what we did.
• 39:53
  Well, if you can pound the ball, you can open up short passes.
• 39:57
  Over 20 to 25 times.
• 39:59
  Hand the ball off.
• 40:01
  You don't need to overthink it, and let Carson Wentz do his thing.
• 40:04
  He's a big guy.
• 40:05
  He can hang in the pocket.
• 40:05
  He can make those big throws.
• 40:07
  He can throw it down the field for Justin Jefferson.
• 40:09
  I like to see Addison get more involved.
• 40:13
  But I want real quick, I'm gonna go back to coach play on the packer call on the the fourth
• 40:18
  and one.
• 40:20
  I woulda did it.
• 40:21
  I woulda still went forward on that fourth and one because you have a chance to take that
• 40:24
  momentum on the road and quiet that crowd.
• 40:28
  You get that first down.
• 40:29
  You're not getting first down on
• 40:30
  that drive.
• 40:31
  That's a whole different game.
• 40:33
  And you know momentum's a big, big, big factor in these divisional games like that.
• 40:37
  But, anyways, if Wences wins week two and plays good, you have a quarterback situation at that
• 40:42
  point.
• 40:43
  He's two and o in division, two and o in the season.
• 40:47
  I mean So so after the game, you know, driving home or even today listening to a k fan, do do
• 40:58
  do the Vikings need or should the Vikings be concerned that they have two decent running
• 41:04
  backs instead of just one guy to give the rock to 20 per 20 times for a 107 yards, or are we
• 41:10
  good with having two running backs that can carry the rock ten, fifteen times and get us
• 41:16
  that 100 yards?
• 41:16
  Yeah.
• 41:17
  I think we're good
• 41:17
  with that.
• 41:18
  I mean, especially with Aaron Jones being fragile as he is.
• 41:21
  I think we're good
• 41:22
  with that.
• 41:23
  Change of pace.
• 41:24
  Too.
• 41:24
  And people are ripping them and saying that they need to have one running back.
• 41:27
  Look at the other teams that have one running back.
• 41:29
  Well, that's good.
• 41:30
  That's what's up?
• 41:32
  What's up, Kev?
• 41:33
  Hey, Kev.
• 41:34
  What's good, man?
• 41:35
  Yo.
• 41:35
  So that,
• 41:36
  you know, other teams are designed to have one running back that can carry the rock.
• 41:40
  We got two.
• 41:41
  You know?
• 41:42
  And I'm okay with them.
• 41:43
  Fresh.
• 41:44
  Carries.
• 41:44
  I mean, I have three.
• 41:46
  I mean, you you don't have to have two backs.
• 41:48
  Kenneth Murray.
• 41:49
  Right, pod?
• 41:49
  We don't have a Kenneth Murray on our team.
• 41:51
  Kenneth Walker?
• 41:53
  No.
• 41:54
  You don't.
• 41:54
  But you don't need him.
• 41:55
  You don't need him.
• 41:56
  No.
• 41:57
  And that and that's the thing here.
• 41:58
  This is Walker.
• 41:59
  Jesus Christ.
• 42:00
  You got Aaron Jones for for your outside runs, You know?
• 42:04
  And then you've got Price who can hit a home run ball, but he's also shown that he's very
• 42:10
  diligent in the in between the tackles, and he can be a reliable third down back.
• 42:15
  Well and the thing is is, you know and and I think Rapp said it perfectly.
• 42:19
  We need KLC to stick to the run and stick to his game plan and instead defer him from it,
• 42:25
  and we're gonna hell accountable.
• 42:27
  He's got to stick to the run game.
• 42:29
  We need that run game to work.
• 42:30
  It doesn't matter if it's, you know, two running backs, one running back, four running
• 42:34
  backs.
• 42:35
  Let's just bury the hatchet and just run the ball.
• 42:38
  Well, they can utilize Hawkinson a little bit more too because they can use it as an extra
• 42:42
  run blocker.
• 42:44
  Yeah.
• 42:45
  So
• 42:46
  Yeah.
• 42:46
  And speaking of extra run blockers, Juwan Jennings showing his value on that Aaron Jones
• 42:53
  touchdown.
• 42:54
  Seeing a receiver blocking.
• 42:55
  And you could see it's funny because and, obviously, you're gonna have this in the
• 42:59
  packages that you run, but it's really like a a rotation of Josh Oliver and Juwan Jennings.
• 43:06
  And it's just those two guys kinda running off the field one for the other, and you start to
• 43:11
  go heavy.
• 43:12
  So now when you go heavy and you got Hockinson, Oliver, maybe an extra tackle, and Juwan
• 43:18
  Jennings as your one receiver maybe, when you wanna bully teams around, you have the
• 43:23
  personnel to do that.
• 43:24
  Right?
• 43:25
  And and you can just go after them.
• 43:26
  And I really think that it's it it was just nice to see the commitment to it because when
• 43:32
  you're committed to it, good things happen.
• 43:35
  You can't just run the ball, you know you know, hey.
• 43:38
  We tried.
• 43:38
  We had eight carries in the first half.
• 43:40
  We ain't going back to it.
• 43:41
  It doesn't work like that.
• 43:42
  Right?
• 43:43
  And we've we've watched we've all watched
• 43:45
  Viking process.
• 43:46
  Where this man just refused to call a run play and to stick with it and surprise somebody and
• 43:52
  run on third and one.
• 43:54
  Right?
• 43:54
  Like, it's amazing what can happen when you can turn it over.
• 43:57
  And all of these indictments that I've had against the play caller, not even the head
• 44:02
  coach.
• 44:03
  I I I like KOC as, like, the the leader of men
• 44:06
  Absolutely.
• 44:06
  And and the, the the locker room guy.
• 44:09
  I I think he's got a lot of value there.
• 44:11
  It's been the play caller that he is.
• 44:13
  And and right now, one game in, I didn't see him kinda go back to the the same old tricks.
• 44:21
  Right?
• 44:22
  He's stuck with it.
• 44:23
  Now is that a Frank Smith, you know, kinda leaning on him and knowing that you have that
• 44:28
  guy in your ear and literally have him in your headset with you kinda saying, hey.
• 44:33
  I'm seeing something that you're not.
• 44:35
  Now the correct me if I'm wrong, but Smith is up in the booth.
• 44:38
  Right?
• 44:38
  He's not on the sideline with him?
• 44:41
  No.
• 44:42
  He should be on booth with Wade Phillips?
• 44:45
  No.
• 44:46
  He should be on the sideline.
• 44:47
  Yeah.
• 44:47
  Yeah.
• 44:47
  I think I think the coaches are on the sideline.
• 44:50
  I think the coordinators are the only ones up in the booth.
• 44:52
  Lastly, we'll over way.
• 44:55
  SK, do you have any closing thoughts before you have to get out of here?
• 44:59
  Yeah, man.
• 45:00
  I'm I'm feeling confident against the bears for this reason.
• 45:04
  I'm I'm still not on the the Caleb Williams train of him being as good as a lot of people
• 45:10
  in national media kinda take him as.
• 45:11
  I'm not saying he can't be.
• 45:13
  I just need to see another year of it.
• 45:14
  But where I think the Vikings have a really good chance at beating this team, obviously,
• 45:19
  that bears defense is very, very, very suspect as we just seen against the panthers.
• 45:24
  They still gave it, what, 34 points or 35 something like that to
• 45:29
  the panthers?
• 45:30
  I think it was 30.
• 45:31
  No.
• 45:31
  I think the cornerbacks are like they're they had a really, really bad first week, obviously.
• 45:36
  37.
• 45:37
  37.
• 45:38
  Excuse me.
• 45:39
  37.
• 45:40
  Now they did put up 59.
• 45:41
  You obviously can't look back.
• 45:43
  You're not gonna do that every week, though.
• 45:45
  Exactly.
• 45:46
  But not gonna do it on on Sunday.
• 45:49
  Yes.
• 45:50
  I want to see Caleb Williams against the 78% blitz rate of Brian Flores.
• 45:57
  And and can he kind of matriculate the ball down the field like Jordan Love did in that
• 46:03
  first half against the Vikings?
• 46:04
  It's very frustrating as a Vikings fan because Jordan Love was doing great against that blitz.
• 46:09
  But as the game wore on, that blitz, those hits started wearing on him wearing on him, and then
• 46:16
  turnovers, fumbles, interceptions started happening.
• 46:19
  Sacks started happening.
• 46:20
  So, it's gonna be interesting.
• 46:22
  I I like the Vikings against the bears.
• 46:24
  I'm not gonna do any score prediction just yet.
• 46:26
  Uh-huh.
• 46:27
  But I'm confident.
• 46:29
  If we don't turn the ball over, which is could be a lot to ask sometimes, I think we got a
• 46:34
  really good chance to beat the bears on the road, which I think it's, like, was it seven
• 46:39
  and eight in a row that we've won in Soldier Field?
• 46:43
  So I'm just saying.
• 46:46
  Awesome, SK.
• 46:47
  Well, I appreciate you jumping in.
• 46:49
  Try to get Dell the link and get him in here.
• 46:51
  You guys are probably gonna pass, like, two ships in the night here, but we'll definitely,
• 46:56
  do it all over again and get you back.
• 46:58
  I got all your info now, so I'll just be sure to get you tapped in.
• 47:02
  Appreciate you, SK.
• 47:03
  It's been a Yeah.
• 47:04
  Appreciate you guys.
• 47:06
  Spend the weekend with you, and it's nice to meet
• 47:08
  you, sir.
• 47:09
  Your brother.
• 47:10
  Hey.
• 47:10
  With the fate of the universe on the line, I want Carson Wentz.
• 47:16
  Well, we're screwed then.
• 47:20
  Alright, fellas.
• 47:21
  Have a good one.
• 47:22
  Later, man.
• 47:23
  See you, buddy.
• 47:24
  Appreciate you.
• 47:25
  Dude, if it's the fate of the universe on the line, I want Eli Manning and his Super Bowls
• 47:30
  with all those crazy catches he gets from his receivers.
• 47:34
  David Tyree.
• 47:36
  Eli, dude, I want this Vikings I want this Vikings defense.
• 47:41
  Exactly what we what I expected from them back to the chaos, to me, were already very
• 47:49
  reminiscent of the 2024 team.
• 47:53
  Just utter chaos.
• 47:54
  And you may have the big play here or there, but if if you don't get home, which doesn't
• 48:00
  always happen, you have that potential.
• 48:02
  Right?
• 48:02
  You you have that potential.
• 48:03
  And where did you see most of the plays happening when they did?
• 48:07
  They happened over the middle.
• 48:08
  Right?
• 48:09
  And that's because that's the way this is designed.
• 48:11
  You you're leaving those spaces open, counting on your safeties.
• 48:15
  I think we should have gotten to Christian or right.
• 48:19
  What's his name?
• 48:21
  Watson.
• 48:21
  Right?
• 48:21
  Christian Watson.
• 48:22
  Watson.
• 48:23
  I thought his safety should have made a play on him.
• 48:25
  Right?
• 48:25
  But he's also one of the fastest guys in the NFL.
• 48:27
  Right?
• 48:28
  There there's a reason he gets paid too, and I watched him do the same thing to the bears in
• 48:33
  the playoff game and at the end of the season there last time too.
• 48:37
  What up, Barbara?
• 48:39
  Thanks for tapping in, man.
• 48:40
  I appreciate you.
• 48:42
  Also, I have the Indiana Bears stats.
• 48:46
  I mean, Chicago Bears stats.
• 48:48
  Well, we will be having a Bears fan come in shortly.
• 48:52
  He just checked me.
• 48:53
  Got a big bear fan, so I can't wait to hit his side of things.
• 48:58
  So
• 49:00
  Yeah.
• 49:00
  I got the scouting report from my brother.
• 49:02
  Obviously, we saw the score at the end of the game while we were
• 49:07
  taking in the Minnesota think of.
• 49:10
  They played the Panthers who everybody, I think, predicted them not to make the playoffs
• 49:15
  and have a bad year.
• 49:16
  So are the Bears that good, or are the panthers better than we thought they were?
• 49:21
  I mean
• 49:22
  I will already say the panthers are better than people give them credit for.
• 49:26
  Yeah.
• 49:26
  Me too.
• 49:27
  Yeah.
• 49:28
  Well, at least that they're offensively.
• 49:30
  Gave up 60.
• 49:32
  Not offensively is
• 49:33
  that's another story.
• 49:35
  It's the base No.
• 49:35
  But right I think we're all
• 49:37
  in agreement on that.
• 49:38
  The the I have a score prediction, Dale.
• 49:40
  Defense that bad.
• 49:42
  I mean
• 49:44
  I've got a score prediction for the game, actually.
• 49:46
  I don't I don't think they're gonna score 57
• 49:48
  points.
• 49:48
  No.
• 49:50
  I think I think that it's gonna be again, this is a division game.
• 49:56
  People always tend to forget.
• 49:58
  It doesn't matter if a team is one in 15 or fifteen and one when they play each other in
• 50:03
  division games.
• 50:04
  Division games are always close because they're just nasty, gritty, usually poor officiated
• 50:10
  games.
• 50:14
  But I will say this, I don't see there being a world where the Bears have 291 rushing yards
• 50:21
  and six rushing touchdowns against the Flores defense.
• 50:26
  That just seems a little absurd to me.
• 50:28
  Yeah.
• 50:28
  No.
• 50:29
  And especially with the way this, this rushing defense, which was extremely suspect last year,
• 50:37
  really got in there and really got in there.
• 50:43
  If you're listening, I send it to you on Facebook from my account.
• 50:46
  I will
• 50:46
  just send you that link.
• 50:47
  Thank you, big guy.
• 50:49
  Yep.
• 50:49
  No problem.
• 50:50
  Yeah.
• 50:51
  I I think the that was kind of a highlight for me and something that obviously you had the big
• 50:57
  stop, I guess, on the fourth down that kinda shows the metal that you have in the middle of
• 51:02
  this line that you didn't have last year.
• 51:03
  This team got bullied in the run game.
• 51:06
  They got a big old citrus to plug gap.
• 51:09
  Yeah.
• 51:09
  Well, it's just not happening this year.
• 51:11
  You got young bodies up there.
• 51:12
  You got guys that can really sit down and anchor that.
• 51:16
  And, yeah, you gotta you you have to you have to deal with that now.
• 51:20
  And it was really a pleasure.
• 51:22
  And well, cool.
• 51:24
  Let's get Kevin here.
• 51:25
  Ready, Kev?
• 51:26
  What up, Paul?
• 51:31
  What's up,
• 51:32
  Kevin?
• 51:33
  How you doing, bud?
• 51:34
  Hey.
• 51:34
  What up, Kevin?
• 51:35
  Pretty good.
• 51:36
  How we doing, guys?
• 51:37
  Doing okay.
• 51:38
  So give us a little recap on what you saw with your bears.
• 51:45
  Well, I could tell you that our run game is gonna be pretty good again.
• 51:51
  I think we had, like, 250 rushing yards.
• 51:53
  291.
• 51:55
  291.
• 51:56
  So almost
• 51:56
  three rushing touchdowns.
• 51:58
  Yep.
• 51:59
  So the run game is pretty good.
• 52:02
  Our offensive line showed a lot of promise.
• 52:06
  There was a couple times where it was a little scary, which, you know, if you go against teams
• 52:11
  with some good edge rushers could, you know, hurt us in the end.
• 52:16
  Our passing game was you know, it was there, but it felt like it wasn't there.
• 52:24
  There was a lot of questionable stuff going on.
• 52:28
  The pass to Cole Kmet was amazing, but that only to where Cole Kmet could catch the ball.
• 52:34
  Literally, the only person that could've got to that.
• 52:36
  But what I will tell you is, our defense is it's rough.
• 52:42
  It's bad.
• 52:44
  We made we made Bryce Young look look like prime Tom Brady.
• 52:49
  Well He threw for, like, 347 passing yards and, like, three touchdowns.
• 52:54
  Jalen Johnson gave up, I think, 17 points himself, and he's our best corner.
• 53:01
  So, you know, we're we we got destroyed by a rookie receiver, Jalen Coker.
• 53:08
  We shut down Kent.
• 53:10
  Like, you
• 53:10
  know you know, what we should have done is, you know, shut him down.
• 53:13
  Yeah.
• 53:14
  Then you got the receiver.
• 53:18
  Kev, you're a little staticky.
• 53:21
  Yeah.
• 53:21
  You're a little staticky there, bud.
• 53:27
  Start popping out and pop back in.
• 53:28
  Yeah.
• 53:29
  Yeah.
• 53:30
  Now Why don't you walk all the way out?
• 53:31
  Kevin come back in, but I I'm glad he had the better sense that their defense is a little
• 53:36
  shaky.
• 53:37
  You know, he's you know, I mean, just like us, we want our team to win, but, you know, not
• 53:42
  many people will admit where their team has faults, and that's what they've got, you know,
• 53:47
  Kevin did because, I mean, you look at it.
• 53:49
  Yeah.
• 53:49
  The Panthers are the Panthers.
• 53:51
  The Bears put up.
• 53:52
  Their coach wants their office to be the best office in NFL history.
• 53:56
  So
• 53:57
  they they he must because that defense isn't below average.
• 54:01
  Yeah.
• 54:02
  The way that he's
• 54:04
  playing my that was kinda my, you know, knock on them e even in last year is that they, that
• 54:13
  their defense and same as as what Barbara said about his client.
• 54:17
  Right?
• 54:17
  They're they're secondary, not that good, and they can't rush the passer.
• 54:21
  They just don't have the guys on that line to get after it.
• 54:25
  Now we'll see.
• 54:27
  And and also kinda what what Kev was pointing out is that a good edge rusher is gonna give
• 54:32
  them fits.
• 54:32
  Well, I'd say that the Vikings have an emerging, not just good, but great edge rusher
• 54:38
  in Dallas Turner, nine quarterback pressures on the day.
• 54:42
  He was kind of in on that play that became the fumble as well that Van Ginkle returned to the
• 54:48
  one.
• 54:49
  So you're you're seeing what this defense could be very, very early, and and that's going to
• 54:57
  really see what we can do. This
• 54:59
  This default play ball, maybe you'll start with the top five defense.
• 55:03
  Nope.
• 55:03
  I already tried it.
• 55:04
  It didn't work.
• 55:05
  Alright.
• 55:05
  Alright.
• 55:06
  Well, we'll try next time.
• 55:07
  Alright.
• 55:07
  And I I think they're they're headlong on their way into that pods for sure of being a top
• 55:13
  five.
• 55:15
  You know, I think the takeaways are gonna come.
• 55:18
  They had an interception.
• 55:19
  They had the fumble, obviously, recovered.
• 55:21
  So you're
• 55:22
  already off to I felt way more hopeful for the Minnesota Vikings defense as a whole going into
• 55:28
  next week than I do about the quote, unquote super team that's supposed to be the Rams.
• 55:35
  Yeah.
• 55:35
  Yeah.
• 55:37
  But, yeah, that didn't end well for them now, did it?
• 55:38
  Because this team looks like a team on the defensive side of the ball.
• 55:44
  That's fine.
• 55:44
  The Rams just look like a bunch of people that are doing individual assignments, and no one's
• 55:49
  communicating with each other.
• 55:55
  Be I feel you, buddy.
• 55:57
  I feel you, man.
• 56:00
  This defense is gonna give some teams, you know, some problems, and I'm glad we got to see
• 56:06
  it firsthand this first time.
• 56:08
  I mean, maybe it was only for a quarter and a half or whatever, but I think that stopped by
• 56:13
  big citrus on that fourth to one, really turned the tables and got the team riled up.
• 56:19
  And, you know, Bubba, you're in the crowd you're in the in the stadium when that
• 56:23
  happened, so I can't just imagine what the team felt like popped.
• 56:27
  Hearing that.
• 56:29
  Well,
• 56:30
  it screwed me up because I forgot that the points came off.
• 56:33
  Right?
• 56:33
  So once they had gone up eight, I had eight stuck in my head.
• 56:37
  So even when we came down and scored, I was like, well, we still need the two point to tie
• 56:40
  it.
• 56:40
  And SK's like, no.
• 56:41
  We're up.
• 56:42
  And I was like, oh, yeah.
• 56:44
  I forgot.
• 56:44
  We're always adding in this sport.
• 56:46
  We're not subtracting very often.
• 56:48
  Right?
• 56:48
  So soon as they went on, it was just it was crazy.
• 56:51
  It changed the whole whole momentum of the game, but you had several things that happened.
• 56:56
  Right?
• 56:56
  The defense started stepping up.
• 56:57
  The miles price return.
• 57:00
  All of these things start to compound.
• 57:02
  And when you're in an environment, you guys in the
• 57:05
  What what they say is first home touchdown in almost a year and a half?
• 57:11
  Oh, yeah.
• 57:12
  Thousand twenty four was his last home touchdown, they said.
• 57:16
  And he got two.
• 57:17
  So
• 57:18
  Well, and he only had two all of last year.
• 57:20
  So he just matched the total from last year, which is I think the reason to to really be
• 57:27
  happy with what Wentz brings to the table is that he knows how to get that guy the ball.
• 57:34
  And like, call?
• 57:36
  Yeah.
• 57:37
  Barbara, for sure.
• 57:37
  It was crazy.
• 57:38
  It was crazy in the stadium to be like, he's gonna go out there and go for it.
• 57:42
  And it wasn't like it it wasn't like it brought it to inches.
• 57:46
  Right?
• 57:47
  That they were in, like, a a a long yard and a half.
• 57:51
  And in this NFL, that is hard to get.
• 57:54
  And then to try it with a QB
• 57:55
  yard can fit with a mile.
• 57:57
  Oh, man.
• 57:58
  To try it with a QB sneak like that is just there are too many big bodies.
• 58:01
  But last year against this Vikings defense, we we had it.
• 58:09
  Right?
• 58:10
  I do.
• 58:11
  I do.
• 58:11
  Me and Tim went tight, dawg.
• 58:13
  So, yeah, we're getting up there.
• 58:16
  DJ Dallas, they talked a lot about him today as well.
• 58:20
  Great to have guys that know their role.
• 58:23
  Right?
• 58:23
  And then they play that role.
• 58:25
  And I think that's what this team is becoming is is a team of role players, and that's also
• 58:31
  what you need out of your quarterback.
• 58:33
  Manage the game.
• 58:35
  Don't turn the ball over.
• 58:36
  Make the two, three throws that you need to to take it over the top.
• 58:41
  The third down conversion, the one to Hockinson.
• 58:44
  Just a a a developing play.
• 58:46
  You know he's gonna come open.
• 58:48
  Be patient.
• 58:49
  Hit it when it's there.
• 58:50
  The the Jefferson the first Jefferson touchdown, you know you have a free play.
• 58:55
  Does a younger quarterback even make that play?
• 58:59
  Right?
• 58:59
  Everybody says JJ won't.
• 59:00
  Well, JJ doesn't have that experience time and time again.
• 59:03
  And I think a lot of us, especially NFC North fans, we got punished by Aaron Rodgers for
• 59:09
  years with all of that crap.
• 59:11
  Right?
• 59:11
  We got punished by those, and it's nice to see it nice to see
• 59:17
  now.
• 59:18
  Giving
• 59:18
  it have a
• 59:18
  take on their
• 59:19
  side.
• 59:19
  Yeah.
• 59:19
  A little bit.
• 59:20
  Hey.
• 59:20
  It was one play.
• 59:21
  Right?
• 59:21
  It it was one play, and it would it wasn't
• 59:24
  wide receivers.
• 59:25
  On earth.
• 59:26
  But Should we be concerned that Jennings and Addison did not have a catch at all?
• 59:33
  Addison, yes.
• 59:34
  Well, Addison had one that hit his hands, and as usual, he dropped it.
• 59:37
  Yeah.
• 59:38
  Jennings had one that fluttered to him that was intercepted, not his fault.
• 59:42
  Jawan Jennings ain't on this team to be a receiver.
• 59:45
  Let's let's get one thing right.
• 59:46
  He may get four targets a game.
• 59:49
  Where are the targets gonna go?
• 59:50
  Like, how many are on the on the table?
• 59:54
  So He's an effort player.
• 59:56
  He's an extension of your run and your pass block.
• 59:59
  Jennings is there to literally create extra gaps for runners.
• 1:00:05
  Makes sense.
• 1:00:06
  That's what he's there for.
• 1:00:07
  Yeah.
• 1:00:08
  You know what?
• 1:00:08
  And I
• 1:00:08
  love that.
• 1:00:09
  I love that, Johnny.
• 1:00:10
  He said bring it.
• 1:00:11
  Big figures.
• 1:00:13
  Bring it.
• 1:00:14
  Well and I think people are gonna start to.
• 1:00:16
  But what are you gonna do?
• 1:00:17
  You're you're gonna run at the rest of this line who you've already kinda seen, you know, a
• 1:00:21
  Jalen Redmond.
• 1:00:22
  Levi Drake Rodriguez had the first sack of the season for the Minnesota Vikings.
• 1:00:26
  Right?
• 1:00:27
  Like, this, it wasn't just the blitz that was getting home.
• 1:00:30
  We were creating pressure with four up front and with maybe four and just the fifth.
• 1:00:36
  It wasn't just on the all out blitzes that we were getting home, which is what causes that
• 1:00:42
  that that quarterback clock to speed up a little bit.
• 1:00:46
  And then you get some of the, the mistakes and the misfires, and, there was a couple of balls
• 1:00:51
  that, you know, a little bit behind the receiver and just it starts to throw you off,
• 1:00:55
  and you only need to get a quarterback off his game a little bit to start having success.
• 1:01:00
  And that's what that's what makes me think that the Vikings defense could have a lot of success
• 1:01:05
  on Sunday against the bears because it's easy to rattle the offensive line and to get after
• 1:01:13
  Caleb Williams.
• 1:01:14
  It's the fact that he has the ability to escape and to go and make things happen after.
• 1:01:23
  So containment is your number one problem this week.
• 1:01:26
  Dallas Turner can't just pin his ears back and go after the quarterback.
• 1:01:30
  He has to play contain a little bit.
• 1:01:32
  And we have to be aware of where the this quarterback is on the field.
• 1:01:37
  There's just it it's who he is.
• 1:01:39
  We've seen it now.
• 1:01:40
  Five.
• 1:01:42
  Because you're gonna have to have your four rushers, and you're gonna need a spy with Caleb
• 1:01:48
  Williams.
• 1:01:48
  You're gonna need a spy.
• 1:01:49
  Yeah.
• 1:01:49
  I mean, they they'll do something different this week.
• 1:01:52
  Definitely, like, you know, you said, Paz, to get that spy on Caleb, but they're not gonna
• 1:01:57
  change his defense that much.
• 1:01:58
  I mean, they may change worry.
• 1:02:01
  They may be You put
• 1:02:02
  the spy on somebody like a Lamar.
• 1:02:05
  You put the spy on somebody like a Lamar.
• 1:02:07
  You put the spy on somebody like a Cam Newton back in the day.
• 1:02:10
  I think that I think that Caleb Williams is trending more towards I'm extending the play to
• 1:02:18
  be more like a Mahomes.
• 1:02:19
  I'm extending the play to still make a play with my arm.
• 1:02:23
  I don't think you can dedicate someone that you're pulling away from the rest of the team
• 1:02:27
  to do that.
• 1:02:28
  I think you have to be hyperconscious of containment and and worrying about that because
• 1:02:35
  if you start pulling guys off of receivers and guys downfield, he can burn you a lot worse on
• 1:02:41
  that.
• 1:02:43
  Yeah.
• 1:02:44
  I agree.
• 1:02:45
  But, also, Bubba, I have to give you a counterpoint real quick.
• 1:02:47
  I know you told me if I talk chief stuff, I'm gonna get banned, but, just going to Monday
• 1:02:51
  night football.
• 1:02:53
  They tried that same thing, and Patrick pulled the ball down and ran it in for a 17 yard
• 1:02:58
  touchdown.
• 1:03:01
  The whole play broke And down this spread out.
• 1:03:04
  This comment kinda speaks exactly to what I'm talking about.
• 1:03:08
  It is that if you're not getting the pressure with the four or five, then you have to start
• 1:03:13
  bringing the house and you're still not getting home, which I don't think is gonna be a
• 1:03:16
  problem.
• 1:03:16
  I think the the Chicago offensive line as far as pass protection goes is extremely suspect.
• 1:03:22
  Where they hit you is that they're gonna run it.
• 1:03:24
  They're gonna run, and they're gonna run, and they're gonna run, and they're gonna wear you
• 1:03:27
  down.
• 1:03:27
  I I would have felt worse about that in years prior, but now we have a pretty decent rotation
• 1:03:32
  on this defensive line that I feel really confident in the legs maintaining a little bit
• 1:03:37
  more freshness, and you got two on that line.
• 1:03:40
  So these are guys that are gonna be out there in you know, have more more tread left on the
• 1:03:48
  tires, if you will, than, you know, the guy, Jahargrave, and and those guys did last year.
• 1:03:53
  That was kinda brutal to watch these guys try to stop the run at any time.
• 1:03:57
  Hey, Steve.
• 1:03:58
  Okay.
• 1:03:58
  Steve got a long comment here, but he says that, the the packers didn't even try to block.
• 1:04:04
  Well, then call your fucking team and complain to them.
• 1:04:07
  Don't come at my team and be like, oh, well, you guys should've done.
• 1:04:10
  Like, go tell your team to show up next time.
• 1:04:12
  They only had to drive a few hours to get here.
• 1:04:17
  My guy.
• 1:04:19
  My guy.
• 1:04:20
  What's up, guys?
• 1:04:22
  Oh, man.
• 1:04:22
  Coach, I'm gonna call you off one last at Dell.
• 1:04:26
  And then I'm gonna get out of here because I got some stuff to do, but it was great to see
• 1:04:30
  all of you.
• 1:04:33
  Thank for the support, Julio.
• 1:04:34
  Back in.
• 1:04:35
  Alright.
• 1:04:35
  We'll get you back.
• 1:04:37
  And as far as football goes, and this is the last thing I have football wise to say, I
• 1:04:44
  really do think if you guys can you don't even need to sack them.
• 1:04:48
  You just need to hit them.
• 1:04:50
  Just do whatever.
• 1:04:51
  Backfield.
• 1:04:52
  Because if you can hit them and just, you know, just stack the box and make him feel that
• 1:04:59
  pressure and make him hear those footsteps, I do feel like that that will really play into
• 1:05:04
  the Vikings getting turnovers.
• 1:05:06
  I turnovers and three and outs is what you guys need next week.
• 1:05:10
  That defense makes them uncomfortable.
• 1:05:13
  That gives you guys more opportunities to run the ball.
• 1:05:16
  Skocial Network, this is our boy, Brev.
• 1:05:20
  This, this young man had the time of his life.
• 1:05:23
  His first time out in Minnesota.
• 1:05:25
  He was out there at Skullfest with us doing his thing.
• 1:05:29
  Appreciate you, Pods.
• 1:05:30
  Thanks for tapping in, brother.
• 1:05:32
  We love you, man.
• 1:05:33
  And and the thing, you know, admitting that he had to fight back some tears when he when it
• 1:05:40
  all got said and done and realized what he was doing.
• 1:05:43
  So, you know, props to him.
• 1:05:45
  Glad to meet you.
• 1:05:46
  Definitely, can't wait to see you again.
• 1:05:50
  Yeah.
• 1:05:50
  Brev, I'm just so proud of you, man.
• 1:05:52
  You got such a big job you're doing right now, getting that Vikings content out there with all
• 1:05:57
  the writing.
• 1:05:58
  You guys make sure you, purple PTSD, he's writing for, and then heavy on Vikings, I do
• 1:06:03
  believe, is the other one.
• 1:06:04
  Throw some links up in the in the comments if you want to, Brev, and let them all know where
• 1:06:08
  they can find you.
• 1:06:09
  I don't know which Kev to add to the stage.
• 1:06:12
  So Probably
• 1:06:12
  the one that defenders moving on the back.
• 1:06:15
  Okay.
• 1:06:16
  There we go.
• 1:06:17
  Freaking me out.
• 1:06:19
  Let's get our boy Dell on here first.
• 1:06:21
  I'm gonna get Dell's thoughts on the Vikings game.
• 1:06:23
  You hold on, And then,
• 1:06:24
  Kev Kev, just chill out, man.
• 1:06:26
  We'll get you on here just in just a second.
• 1:06:28
  Okay?
• 1:06:29
  Awesome.
• 1:06:30
  My guy, Dell.
• 1:06:32
  What's up, Dell?
• 1:06:33
  What's going on, y'all?
• 1:06:36
  Let's go.
• 1:06:37
  Appreciate you, brother.
• 1:06:37
  It was great to meet you in person, man.
• 1:06:40
  Yeah, man.
• 1:06:40
  Likewise.
• 1:06:42
  Likewise.
• 1:06:42
  Sorry about the technical difficulties.
• 1:06:44
  I would have been on sooner, but I just got Internet.
• 1:06:46
  I had to sync up a bunch of shit, so we back up and rolling.
• 1:06:51
  We are roll speaking of rolling, them Vikings were rolling in the second half on Sunday.
• 1:06:57
  The first half, looked like they had a flat tire or four, but, they got it fixed in the in
• 1:07:05
  the locker room, came back out.
• 1:07:07
  They started playing like the team, I think, that you, I would say is the best version of
• 1:07:13
  this team.
• 1:07:14
  Right?
• 1:07:14
  Heavy on the defense, heavy on the run game, and and, you know, just kinda let things
• 1:07:20
  happen.
• 1:07:21
  And I think that it was really nice to watch it.
• 1:07:24
  It was really nice to see KOC not go back to the old KOC and then to come in and and and get
• 1:07:32
  a big w for the hometown fans that were there in a raucous Yuengsbank Stadium on Sunday.
• 1:07:39
  It was absolutely unreal.
• 1:07:41
  Yeah.
• 1:07:42
  Yo.
• 1:07:42
  I'd I I was really I was really happy to meet you.
• 1:07:45
  And and, like, seeing everybody and and making, like, this tangible makes all the difference to
• 1:07:52
  the world.
• 1:07:52
  Like, you two are real people.
• 1:07:54
  You know what I'm saying?
• 1:07:55
  You're you're not some, ghost in the machine.
• 1:07:58
  You're actually you have a heart and a brain.
• 1:08:02
  You know what I'm saying?
• 1:08:03
  So it's really nice to, like, connect with real motherfuckers.
• 1:08:06
  You know what I mean?
• 1:08:07
  Hell, yeah.
• 1:08:09
  But yeah.
• 1:08:10
  Yeah.
• 1:08:10
  So so my thoughts on the game is, man, the I I look at things a little bit differently.
• 1:08:18
  Our our offense looked really good when we were in eye formation and running between the
• 1:08:25
  tackles, like, really good.
• 1:08:27
  Like, I bet if we went back and charted the carries to runs, like, our rushing yardage
• 1:08:35
  average would probably double when we're in the eye and running between the tackles.
• 1:08:41
  So it's it's one thing to think about, especially when Mason decides to follow his
• 1:08:48
  block.
• 1:08:48
  You know what I'm saying?
• 1:08:49
  So, like Facts.
• 1:08:50
  You know?
• 1:08:51
  But Probably.
• 1:08:52
  But, yeah, Bredesen looked real good.
• 1:08:57
  I was happy about Orange getting the stop.
• 1:08:59
  And and we're such an emotional team.
• 1:09:01
  Like like like, let me get this off right quick.
• 1:09:04
  Right?
• 1:09:05
  So if you're
• 1:09:06
  a visitor in a place, don't go into their home, trade in your points that you just got to go
• 1:09:14
  for it
• 1:09:14
  on fourth and one, being greedy looking for a touchdown.
• 1:09:18
  That's disrespectful, man.
• 1:09:20
  You gotta have some respect when you go to somebody's house.
• 1:09:23
  You know?
• 1:09:23
  And that's what flipped the switch for us.
• 1:09:26
  So we took full advantage, and then just everything just unraveled for him.
• 1:09:30
  However, I don't I I, like, I don't want that to happen.
• 1:09:34
  You know what I'm saying?
• 1:09:35
  It's such a damn roller coaster.
• 1:09:36
  You know what I'm saying?
• 1:09:37
  Nobody wants to go through that emotional roller coaster.
• 1:09:40
  Why can't we just go on out there and just beat somebody's ass from the beginning to the end?
• 1:09:46
  Just like in the bedroom.
• 1:09:47
  You know what I'm saying?
• 1:09:50
  Straight up.
• 1:09:51
  Yeah.
• 1:09:51
  I know.
• 1:09:51
  That's something that the Vikings haven't had in years.
• 1:09:56
  It's just that mean streak going, hey.
• 1:09:59
  We're going in.
• 1:09:59
  We don't care.
• 1:10:00
  We're gonna put the penalty from opening kickoff to the last zero on the board, and
• 1:10:06
  that's something the Vikings have not done consistently for years on having played a full
• 1:10:12
  game.
• 1:10:13
  I mean, that's something we need to do.
• 1:10:16
  It doesn't get any higher or lower than the vibes after the anthem and the Gellerhorn and
• 1:10:22
  the Skull chant Two, three plays later, the ball flutters through the air, and and it's
• 1:10:30
  intercepted.
• 1:10:30
  And it just deflated that stadium, man.
• 1:10:34
  Just instantly deflated.
• 1:10:35
  Bro, like like I told you last time we spoke, man, who did I say was the best quarterback in
• 1:10:41
  camp, bro?
• 1:10:42
  You know?
• 1:10:43
  Yeah.
• 1:10:44
  Yeah.
• 1:10:45
  It's it's it's painfully obvious that Wentz was the best quarterback in camp, bro.
• 1:10:50
  And it it it just is what it is.
• 1:10:52
  12 out of 19 for a 133 yards and three touchdowns is nothing to shake a stick at, bro.
• 1:10:58
  Nope.
• 1:10:58
  That's one touchdown.
• 1:10:59
  Percent of his throws went for TDs.
• 1:11:02
  Right.
• 1:11:02
  With one out of six, man.
• 1:11:04
  You know what So, I'm I mean, we're Take that.
• 1:11:07
  Yo.
• 1:11:07
  The thing about Wentz is he's so fucking calm.
• 1:11:11
  You know what I'm saying?
• 1:11:12
  And he's really a hometown guy.
• 1:11:14
  Like, him and Cash, bro.
• 1:11:16
  Him and Cashman are both hometown guys, bro.
• 1:11:19
  He's just calm even.
• 1:11:22
  You know what I'm saying?
• 1:11:23
  And and and let me tell you something else.
• 1:11:26
  Let me tell you something.
• 1:11:27
  So Kyler Murray got knocked Kyler Murray got himself knocked out.
• 1:11:33
  Yes.
• 1:11:34
  Like, he because for me and how I see it, he doesn't have, like, the and I'm not sure a
• 1:11:42
  100%, but he sure is playing like he doesn't have a full comprehension of the playbook,
• 1:11:47
  which is why he took off twice with the ball.
• 1:11:50
  You know?
• 1:11:51
  And then the second time, he's running on third and seven into a short zone cover two, looking
• 1:11:58
  at a outside linebacker and safety dead in the eye, thinking that
• 1:12:01
  He didn't even slide right.
• 1:12:03
  What do you you know what I'm saying?
• 1:12:04
  He should know the offense enough to know that there's crossers downfield.
• 1:12:10
  You know?
• 1:12:10
  And I just don't I I don't and that's one of our concerns.
• 1:12:14
  Right?
• 1:12:14
  We talked about this all offseason.
• 1:12:16
  Like, is this dude gonna be able to digest the playbook enough to be effective for this team
• 1:12:22
  in the way that we want our offense to operate when it's at its highest potential.
• 1:12:27
  You know?
• 1:12:28
  It's like, does he care enough?
• 1:12:30
  You know what I'm saying?
• 1:12:31
  I mean, Arizona had to put something in his contract so he would actually, like, do
• 1:12:36
  quarterback stuff and watch playbook and film session and all that.
• 1:12:41
  And, you know, some players, when they're drafted top five overall in the MLB and NFL,
• 1:12:48
  they think they're just entitled to stuff, and it's just gonna happen naturally.
• 1:12:51
  And, it hasn't worked that way for Kyler.
• 1:12:54
  And and by the way by the way, Brissett had a good game, bro.
• 1:12:58
  Yeah.
• 1:12:58
  He did.
• 1:12:58
  I'm not
• 1:12:58
  trying to I'm not trying to, like, toss salt on a wound or anything, but I'm just, like,
• 1:13:03
  pointing to what I thought.
• 1:13:05
  You know?
• 1:13:06
  Kyler ducking, you know, Brissett and fighting for his job, you know, as to the goals of being
• 1:13:13
  with us and taking the easy way up.
• 1:13:15
  So I'm just saying, man.
• 1:13:18
  You know?
• 1:13:19
  So, Dell, looking ahead, into this week, I I would say it hasn't been officially yet, but
• 1:13:25
  Carson Wentz is gonna be leading this team into Chicago.
• 1:13:30
  You have to think by by all stretch of the imagination with the protocol being what it is.
• 1:13:35
  There's no way a quarterback clears in just a few days to be prepared for that, especially
• 1:13:39
  someone who, like you just pointed out, still trying to grasp the playbook a little bit.
• 1:13:44
  Right?
• 1:13:44
  So we're going into Chicago with Wentz, with a running game that has a commitment to it, and a
• 1:13:50
  defense that looks like it it woke up and are finding themselves and are going to continue to
• 1:13:55
  find themselves.
• 1:13:57
  What do you think the what do you think they need to do?
• 1:14:01
  Is it more of the same from that second half to win in Chicago, or do they have to be even more
• 1:14:06
  to go into a a hostile environment and to come away with a w?
• 1:14:12
  We need to really, look at our defensive line as to winning and defeating, double team
• 1:14:19
  battles.
• 1:14:20
  That would probably, do big numbers for us as far as being effective in the in the defensive
• 1:14:29
  side.
• 1:14:31
  Because then we don't have to send somebody and we can double.
• 1:14:35
  I'm really I'm really concerned about the matchup when they're in their 22 or 12
• 1:14:40
  personnel.
• 1:14:41
  You know, they're with, Loveland and and Clement.
• 1:14:45
  You know?
• 1:14:45
  How are we gonna defend those guys with, because, Cashman is undersized, Wilson is
• 1:14:51
  undersized comparatively to the tight ends.
• 1:14:55
  You know?
• 1:14:55
  Van Ginkle might be able to match up well, but, typically, you send Van Ginkle or Turner.
• 1:15:01
  Both match up well.
• 1:15:02
  So one of those guys.
• 1:15:03
  So, like Maybe
• 1:15:04
  Jink and Mattelis, maybe?
• 1:15:06
  Just have him bump up?
• 1:15:08
  Oh, man.
• 1:15:09
  Mattelis Do you think
• 1:15:10
  this leads to seeing more of of Jake Galday on the field, the rookie, you know, kinda hybrid
• 1:15:16
  linebacker?
• 1:15:17
  Come on, you know?
• 1:15:18
  Ass.
• 1:15:18
  Come on now.
• 1:15:19
  Side by the sideline.
• 1:15:20
  Let's go.
• 1:15:21
  You know?
• 1:15:22
  And and and that's that's that's what I'm talking.
• 1:15:24
  Like, if you look at all the great defenses, especially of late, it's the body types that
• 1:15:30
  are different.
• 1:15:31
  Each each phase, each room, each position group, each position room within the defensive
• 1:15:37
  room has a a different body type within each group, you know, such as goal day as opposed
• 1:15:46
  to, oh, we're gonna play goal day this week and sub out Metellus per se.
• 1:15:51
  You know what I'm saying?
• 1:15:52
  Run a three five four instead of, you know, like, the the the two the two four five that
• 1:16:00
  we've been running or or whatever.
• 1:16:02
  You know what I'm saying?
• 1:16:03
  Like like, sub out sub out different positions depending upon what personnel off what
• 1:16:08
  personnel the offense decides to go with.
• 1:16:11
  You know?
• 1:16:12
  So but, I mean, there there isn't there isn't much that scares me to Chicago, like, in within
• 1:16:18
  the front seven except for the tight ends.
• 1:16:20
  Their tight end their tight end room is is monster, bro.
• 1:16:24
  I I always like Cole Kmet.
• 1:16:26
  I he was never gonna be the top guy, but does all the little things and a hometown guy there.
• 1:16:30
  He's got a lot of love, on that team and in that city.
• 1:16:34
  But, Colston Loveland is an animal, an absolute animal of a, of a player and someone that, can
• 1:16:44
  definitely create some matchup problems for this team.
• 1:16:47
  And I wonder if I don't know how many snaps goal they got, B.
• 1:16:51
  I don't know if you can look up defensive snaps.
• 1:16:53
  It's really hard to tell when you're in the stadium and you're not, like, honed in on the
• 1:16:57
  football, which I'm not.
• 1:17:00
  I'm I'm there, man.
• 1:17:01
  I'm partying.
• 1:17:02
  I'm networking.
• 1:17:02
  I'm I'm, you know, dapping up with with SK, and I'm not really focusing like you were.
• 1:17:08
  So you're being Cody in the game while Cody was being Cody outside the game.
• 1:17:13
  I
• 1:17:14
  was on fire.
• 1:17:15
  I
• 1:17:15
  was on fire.
• 1:17:16
  I'm not
• 1:17:17
  a big football guy.
• 1:17:19
  Right?
• 1:17:19
  So, I I mean, I don't know what I'm watching.
• 1:17:21
  Dell knows a lot better than I do, what the you know, what's going on, being able to watch from
• 1:17:26
  home.
• 1:17:27
  And and some guys prefer to watch from home for that reason as well.
• 1:17:30
  Right?
• 1:17:30
  You you get the TV copy.
• 1:17:32
  You can see the feel.
• 1:17:33
  You're in your, you know, element a little bit where you can just take it in.
• 1:17:37
  Where in the stadium, that's not possible, man.
• 1:17:39
  Like, you're you're part of the vibe when you're inside of the stadium, so it's totally
• 1:17:43
  different.
• 1:17:43
  So, yeah, I'm I'm curious to know, how many defensive snaps goal they got out there in in
• 1:17:48
  week one and some of the different he wasn't on the field at all.
• 1:17:52
  Okay.
• 1:17:52
  I was gonna say I didn't I didn't see him.
• 1:17:54
  Was is he hurt or just didn't see the field?
• 1:17:56
  He just didn't
• 1:17:57
  Just didn't see the field.
• 1:17:59
  Which is okay.
• 1:18:00
  It's it's okay.
• 1:18:01
  It's okay.
• 1:18:02
  I would I I really wouldn't think that there's anything for alarm in that.
• 1:18:05
  I just think that, like, we were clicking with our personnel that we had at the time.
• 1:18:10
  Well,
• 1:18:10
  that how the game was going.
• 1:18:11
  I mean, we're trailing.
• 1:18:12
  And and like you said, and like you were alluding to, Del, with the, with the kind of
• 1:18:18
  personnel that you have, that there's going to be weeks like that.
• 1:18:23
  Right?
• 1:18:23
  There may be weeks where an undersized Eric Wilson is going to get exposed in the passing
• 1:18:29
  game, I e, week two against the bears with two really good tight ends.
• 1:18:34
  Right?
• 1:18:35
  So you you have this, you know, you have this depth chart now that really is not necessarily
• 1:18:44
  built on depth, but it's built on situational football and and being the right guys for that
• 1:18:50
  game or that week and being able to work in more of that game plan.
• 1:18:54
  I mean, Golde has a ton of coverage in his past.
• 1:18:57
  I mean, the guy was playing cornerback and safety in his career at different points.
• 1:19:01
  So you you obviously have no fear of him going out there and being able to body up a Colson
• 1:19:07
  Low, who I'm assuming he maybe played against when they were playing college ball as well.
• 1:19:13
  So does Cincinnati and Michigan play against each other?
• 1:19:16
  I'm not sure, but their body types sure do match up well with each other.
• 1:19:20
  Yeah.
• 1:19:22
  For real.
• 1:19:22
  Yeah.
• 1:19:22
  You know what?
• 1:19:23
  I'm gonna dip out because I wanna get Kevin here.
• 1:19:24
  Kevin is a, is a friend of of bees and a friend of all of ours here at the network, but he's
• 1:19:29
  he's a bears fan.
• 1:19:30
  So I wanna get him in here with Dell, and I'm gonna pull myself off so we don't lose it up
• 1:19:35
  too much.
• 1:19:36
  So I'll get Kevin, and I'm gonna dip.
• 1:19:38
  Hey, White.
• 1:19:39
  Who's White Puffin?
• 1:19:40
  What's up, Kevin?
• 1:19:40
  White Puffin.
• 1:19:42
  You are wreck.
• 1:19:43
  I still am.
• 1:19:44
  Yeah.
• 1:19:45
  Kevin, how are you doing, bud?
• 1:19:46
  Buddy.
• 1:19:47
  Fuck.
• 1:19:48
  See, StreamYard is made for mobile devices, and I'm running off a personal computer right now.
• 1:19:55
  So, like, when anybody comes to me out, my audio might go out.
• 1:19:59
  So it's not that I'm ducking smoke because I really wanna talk to you, man.
• 1:20:02
  We could get into it.
• 1:20:04
  I just can't hear anything right now.
• 1:20:06
  So I have to leave, unfortunately.
• 1:20:09
  Oh.
• 1:20:09
  Alright.
• 1:20:10
  No problem, man.
• 1:20:11
  Oh.
• 1:20:11
  Good.
• 1:20:11
  Okay.
• 1:20:12
  Go out.
• 1:20:13
  Del, we love you, man.
• 1:20:14
  Appreciate you.
• 1:20:15
  Josh.
• 1:20:16
  Fuck.
• 1:20:19
  Kev, can you hear us?
• 1:20:22
  Darren.
• 1:20:23
  I don't know if he's frozen again or not.
• 1:20:25
  Kevin, you might be having signals.
• 1:20:27
  He said he
• 1:20:27
  couldn't hear anyone.
• 1:20:29
  Download the StreamYard app.
• 1:20:31
  That's my recommendation.
• 1:20:32
  The StreamYard app on your phone works great.
• 1:20:35
  We'll kick him too.
• 1:20:36
  I'll type it in the chat.
• 1:20:38
  Yeah.
• 1:20:41
  Oh, man.
• 1:20:42
  Yeah.
• 1:20:42
  Love love everything that that Dell was pointing out.
• 1:20:44
  Hey.
• 1:20:45
  Hold on.
• 1:20:45
  Hey.
• 1:20:46
  Can you you can't see her, but she's back here.
• 1:20:48
  Oh.
• 1:20:49
  What?
• 1:20:50
  I can get a little bit.
• 1:20:52
  Sorry.
• 1:20:53
  Hey.
• 1:21:00
  Cody had a case of Busch Light for you on Sunday, but he drank them all.
• 1:21:04
  What?
• 1:21:05
  Before first quarter.
• 1:21:07
  Yeah.
• 1:21:07
  He didn't
• 1:21:07
  get me
• 1:21:08
  an Adrian Peterson autograph either.
• 1:21:11
  Forgot you told me great.
• 1:21:12
  About the second one.
• 1:21:13
  I
• 1:21:14
  don't even remember the second one.
• 1:21:16
  Kyle, you there, buddy?
• 1:21:18
  Good night, guys.
• 1:21:19
  Yeah.
• 1:21:20
  Now I can hear you.
• 1:21:21
  Alright, buddy.
• 1:21:22
  So There we go.
• 1:21:23
  Week
• 1:21:24
  one Down the everybody?
• 1:21:25
  Yeah.
• 1:21:26
  Yeah.
• 1:21:26
  Yeah.
• 1:21:27
  There we go.
• 1:21:27
  So,
• 1:21:29
  Kevin, you're week one in the bush.
• 1:21:31
  You started talking about how you're worried about your defense against our offense.
• 1:21:36
  I mean
• 1:21:36
  extreme yards.
• 1:21:37
  So Yeah.
• 1:21:38
  What more can you put on your week one performance going into week two?
• 1:21:41
  I'd really like I'd really like to chop this game up, but I I just can't hear in this is
• 1:21:46
  super annoying.
• 1:21:49
  Yo, homeboy, I look to forward to seeing you again.
• 1:21:55
  Alright.
• 1:21:55
  So, Kevin, what are your thoughts on this come upcoming week?
• 1:22:01
  Is he coming back, or what do
• 1:22:03
  we He might do those.
• 1:22:04
  He might.
• 1:22:05
  Oh, okay.
• 1:22:06
  But definitely, what's your thoughts?
• 1:22:13
  Kevin, can you hear me?
• 1:22:14
  So yeah.
• 1:22:14
  I mean
• 1:22:15
  Oh, okay.
• 1:22:15
  Other than, you know, the bears running offense, to me, it felt like we didn't really
• 1:22:22
  throw the ball as much.
• 1:22:25
  I'm guessing that's just because, you know, the run game was working out so well for Chicago.
• 1:22:31
  But other than that, I'm, you know, I'm actually more worried about the Vikings defense
• 1:22:43
  against Chicago Bears' offense because that defense was terrorizing Jordan Love practically
• 1:22:52
  the entire second half.
• 1:22:53
  Yep.
• 1:22:57
  Yep.
• 1:22:57
  They were.
• 1:22:58
  No.
• 1:22:58
  I agree with that.
• 1:23:00
  I I I'm going you predict you're gonna wanna predict your team to win.
• 1:23:04
  I get that.
• 1:23:06
  But if the Vikings beat the bears, what Hey, do you think is the top of
• 1:23:14
  Kev.
• 1:23:14
  Can you hear me?
• 1:23:15
  Yeah.
• 1:23:16
  I can hear you.
• 1:23:16
  I can't hear Brandon, though.
• 1:23:17
  Alright.
• 1:23:18
  Alright.
• 1:23:18
  Brandon, go ahead.
• 1:23:19
  Ask your question.
• 1:23:20
  I'll ask it to him.
• 1:23:21
  I just wanna know what Kevin thinks about the, if the bears were to lose, what is gonna be the
• 1:23:28
  reason why they lose?
• 1:23:29
  Alright, Kev.
• 1:23:30
  If the bears were to lose, what would be the reason for it?
• 1:23:35
  If the bears were to lose, I mean, there's several factors.
• 1:23:44
  But I would have to probably say is because, you know, the Vikings offense outperformed
• 1:23:48
  their defense.
• 1:23:49
  That's what I would have to say is the biggest biggest thing is if that bike if we can't stop
• 1:23:54
  the Vikings receivers or stop their run game, we're gonna get destroyed.
• 1:23:58
  Mhmm.
• 1:23:59
  But I'm also worried about our, you know, our you know, the outside of our line with the rush
• 1:24:07
  edge rushers because last year, Van Ginkle killed us.
• 1:24:10
  He killed our offensive line last year.
• 1:24:12
  And if we can't stop him with the new additions that they got as well, we're we're gonna be
• 1:24:17
  we're gonna be in trouble.
• 1:24:19
  But I think the biggest thing is gonna be if we can make any upgrades to our defense, like, we
• 1:24:27
  can change something.
• 1:24:28
  Because clearly, getting diced up by Bryce Young is not a good look.
• 1:24:34
  Right.
• 1:24:34
  Hey.
• 1:24:35
  I got a question for you, Kev.
• 1:24:37
  Just because I got homeboy on my fantasy team, Luther Bird in the third.
• 1:24:45
  Give me some give me some updates.
• 1:24:47
  Is he is he gonna be healthy?
• 1:24:48
  Do I gotta cut him?
• 1:24:50
  No.
• 1:24:50
  I I think I think Luther Burton's gonna be healthy.
• 1:24:53
  If you were asking me about Rome, I'd tell you the opposite.
• 1:24:56
  Yeah.
• 1:24:56
  I was gonna say that.
• 1:24:57
  Hey.
• 1:24:57
  Quick shout out to Paul, our guy, behind the scenes running the cameras and everything
• 1:25:02
  electrical.
• 1:25:04
  Yeah.
• 1:25:04
  They were hitting just fine.
• 1:25:07
  Were hitting just fine.
• 1:25:08
  Yeah.
• 1:25:09
  Those those pickles shots were very
• 1:25:10
  I shoulda asked Cody.
• 1:25:12
  I I asked Cody how many beers he had.
• 1:25:14
  He said four.
• 1:25:14
  I shoulda asked him how many pickle shots he had.
• 1:25:16
  About four times that.
• 1:25:19
  Hey.
• 1:25:19
  It was, it was insane.
• 1:25:20
  Every time I turned around, people were just, hey.
• 1:25:23
  Here you go.
• 1:25:23
  Here's the regular.
• 1:25:24
  Here's the spicy.
• 1:25:25
  I'm like, oh, shit.
• 1:25:26
  Okay.
• 1:25:27
  You know?
• 1:25:28
  But it was a it was a it was a great time.
• 1:25:31
  You know?
• 1:25:31
  Shout out to great to see
• 1:25:33
  you come loose out there, man.
• 1:25:35
  It it was great to just see you in your element surrounded by football people.
• 1:25:41
  And, yeah, we're always working, man.
• 1:25:43
  I I feel that.
• 1:25:44
  Kev, you sound a little a little nervous about Sunday's matchup even though your team just
• 1:25:49
  hung 59 on the Carolina panthers.
• 1:25:53
  All was not rosy in Carolina.
• 1:25:55
  Yeah.
• 1:25:57
  No.
• 1:25:59
  Our like I said, our defense really made Bryce Young look really good.
• 1:26:04
  Like, it it felt like we were going against Tom prime Tom Brady out there.
• 1:26:08
  I mean, he was dicing up the op dicing up our defense whenever he could take you know, get
• 1:26:13
  get the chance.
• 1:26:14
  We did one thing correctly, and that was make stopping Tets.
• 1:26:18
  We stopped we stopped Tets McMillan from, you know, doing practically anything that game.
• 1:26:25
  But then we got diced up by Jalen Coker, who I'm glad I got him in, like, the tenth round in
• 1:26:31
  fantasy football.
• 1:26:33
  This guy says duo.
• 1:26:35
  Oh my goodness.
• 1:26:38
  But to be honest, I I have the Vikings winning this game.
• 1:26:43
  I do.
• 1:26:44
  I have the Vikings going into Chicago and, you know, proving a point that, you know, that
• 1:26:51
  they're serious and they're gonna be contenders.
• 1:26:53
  I honestly and this is the prediction I had.
• 1:26:55
  I told a lot of my buddies this.
• 1:26:57
  I could see the bears taking last in our division, if not the packers.
• 1:27:02
  But I I don't we lost a lot of pieces on defense in Chicago, and it is showing.
• 1:27:08
  It is showing big time.
• 1:27:10
  We lost we lost, Kevin Byard, Jaquan Brisker.
• 1:27:14
  We lost, Tremaine Edmonds.
• 1:27:17
  So we lost some huge pieces on our defense that really hurt.
• 1:27:21
  We lost Neshon Wright, the interception leader on our team.
• 1:27:24
  You know, he left.
• 1:27:25
  So we lost a lot.
• 1:27:27
  So and, you know, we got rid of our to me, it was our number one receiver.
• 1:27:32
  If you go look at the Chicago Bears highlights last year, the guy who made all the plays, all
• 1:27:37
  the most important plays this season, it was DJ Moore.
• 1:27:41
  Yeah.
• 1:27:42
  So and he hears something else is Roma Dundee missed more time last year than DJ Moore did
• 1:27:49
  his entire career in Chicago.
• 1:27:52
  Yeah.
• 1:27:52
  So I I don't like the fact that our number one now is considered injury prone, but I think
• 1:28:00
  Luther Burden's gonna be our number one this year.
• 1:28:02
  Hey, Josh Morrison.
• 1:28:03
  This is what I think about your Jaguars.
• 1:28:05
  So,
• 1:28:08
  Kevin, what you with the Bear in week one?
• 1:28:12
  What was that, Brandon?
• 1:28:13
  You cut you cut out there.
• 1:28:14
  What what shocked you in week one for the bears?
• 1:28:19
  What shocked me?
• 1:28:20
  The
• 1:28:21
  points?
• 1:28:22
  Besides that, they scored 59 points.
• 1:28:24
  I mean To
• 1:28:28
  be honest, I would you know, it's gonna sound sound dumb, but, you know, that just how good
• 1:28:34
  our run game was.
• 1:28:36
  Okay.
• 1:28:37
  To be honest, I mean, you put up, what they say, 200 and, like
• 1:28:40
  Almost 300 yards.
• 1:28:42
  Yeah.
• 1:28:42
  Yeah.
• 1:28:42
  Almost 300 yards of rushing, And your fifth round running back put up a 100, and your
• 1:28:49
  starter put up, you know, a 130, I think it was, with two TDs.
• 1:28:53
  I mean, three TDs.
• 1:28:54
  He had three touchdowns.
• 1:28:56
  I that's a staple of of Ben Johnson, though.
• 1:28:59
  The the man understands the running game.
• 1:29:01
  He understands setting up defenses.
• 1:29:04
  And I don't think that the the Panthers defense is anything crazy, but this this team ran for
• 1:29:11
  over 240 yards against the Eagles last year too.
• 1:29:14
  He's committed to it.
• 1:29:16
  He's not afraid to go back to it and go back to it and go back to it again.
• 1:29:20
  And and I think that last year's Vikings team would've got walked all over by this version of
• 1:29:26
  the bears.
• 1:29:27
  Now last year, the games were close.
• 1:29:29
  Obviously, the bears taken the opener in Soldier Field and then going back to a game
• 1:29:36
  they should've won that would've put them into the playoffs.
• 1:29:39
  You kind of hindsight, that it is different this year that we now have some big guys up in
• 1:29:48
  the middle of that offense that will kinda stop that.
• 1:29:53
  And I think you saw that immediately with, you know, with the big stop in Sunday's game
• 1:29:59
  against the packers.
• 1:30:03
  Yeah.
• 1:30:03
  Another thing I saw with Chicago is that I mean, I think Caleb Williams, yeah, he still
• 1:30:08
  threw for, like, 240 yards, but it it felt like they didn't throw enough.
• 1:30:13
  Like, it it didn't feel like there's enough passing in the game, but, again, that's because
• 1:30:17
  the run game was so good.
• 1:30:18
  Why why go away from it if it's working so well?
• 1:30:20
  There's no reason to go away from it if it's working so good.
• 1:30:23
  But another big surprise is we put up 59 points without Colson Loveland doing anything.
• 1:30:30
  He didn't do anything.
• 1:30:32
  Just sat there and looked pretty, pretty much.
• 1:30:34
  But when, Dell was on here, one thing that, you know, he did say, you know, that I agreed with
• 1:30:40
  is the Bears offense is scariest when Colson Loveland and Cole Kubet are both on the field.
• 1:30:47
  When they are both on the field, they are scary because more than likely, one of them is
• 1:30:53
  getting the ball, and it it was it happened a lot last year.
• 1:30:58
  You saw it a lot.
• 1:30:59
  If you looked at, you know, our offense, it's you know, you got Loveland who, well, got
• 1:31:03
  targeted, like, 17 times against the packers in that one game.
• 1:31:09
  But, you know, just with Coltman and Loveland both on the field, it's scary because it opens
• 1:31:17
  up everything in the playbook.
• 1:31:19
  You can run the ball.
• 1:31:20
  You can, you know, you can run a screen on the outside.
• 1:31:24
  You can throw to either one of the tight ends or, you know, you still have a Dundee and
• 1:31:29
  Luther Bird in there.
• 1:31:30
  So it it opens up everything in the playbook.
• 1:31:33
  Yeah.
• 1:31:33
  And I I really think that that's the matchup.
• 1:31:35
  It is because you saw a lot of plays, even this weekend, with the, with the bears or the
• 1:31:44
  Vikings packers game that the middle of the field is where you can expose this Vikings
• 1:31:49
  defense when they're bringing the blitz.
• 1:31:52
  Right?
• 1:31:52
  And and that's kind of the the the point, of it.
• 1:31:55
  If you can get in behind that, and that's where a Colson Loveland can have a really big day,
• 1:32:01
  you know, sneaking out on some of these blocking, chipping a Dallas Turner or a Van
• 1:32:05
  Ginkle, and then sneaking out on that when we're bringing five or six and turn it into a
• 1:32:11
  really big day.
• 1:32:12
  Not that Colson Loveland's breaking them, you know, for 80 yard gains like Christian Watson
• 1:32:16
  did, but that he is, you know, chunking off yards twenty, thirty at a time.
• 1:32:23
  The this this defense needs to be able to clamp down on some of that.
• 1:32:27
  And I think you're gonna see some growth out of them now that they've put a little bit on tape.
• 1:32:31
  You need these safeties to step up.
• 1:32:33
  Harrison Smith didn't have a training camp, so probably a little bit up to speed.
• 1:32:37
  Now he wasn't in on and maybe maybe in on 50% of the snaps, I would say.
• 1:32:42
  You saw a lot of Theo Jackson back there, obviously, and then Josh Mattelis, your other
• 1:32:47
  one of your defensive captains spending a lot of time there.
• 1:32:50
  So a lot of things to clean up yet, on both sides of the ball for the Vikings team.
• 1:32:55
  And it sounds like a lot still to that you, you know, the bears are looking to clean up on
• 1:33:00
  their end as well.
• 1:33:04
  Yeah.
• 1:33:05
  No.
• 1:33:05
  Like like you said, there's that defense, something needs to change.
• 1:33:10
  I mean, if you guys watched any of that panthers game, our best corner was getting
• 1:33:14
  diced up.
• 1:33:16
  Jaylen
• 1:33:17
  too busy doing shots at the tailgate.
• 1:33:19
  He didn't see any of that game.
• 1:33:20
  I I saw him.
• 1:33:21
  I saw him.
• 1:33:22
  Yeah.
• 1:33:22
  Jalen Johnson, I think, was responsible for 17 points.
• 1:33:26
  He's he's our best corner, and he got destroyed by anybody on the field.
• 1:33:30
  He missed wide open tackles, open field tackles.
• 1:33:34
  He was getting burned by receivers.
• 1:33:36
  I understand he's getting a little bit older, but he's he's only a couple years older than I
• 1:33:40
  am.
• 1:33:40
  He's I think he's, like, 28.
• 1:33:42
  Did he just sign the extension last year?
• 1:33:45
  I'm not sure.
• 1:33:47
  I know DeAndre Swift just got one, like, the other day.
• 1:33:52
  Because if he did, that would explain it.
• 1:33:54
  Think about you know you know, because we got the Lions in a few weeks.
• 1:33:58
  Are are we even scared about the Lions who had to go to overtime to to beat the Saints?
• 1:34:05
  Hell no.
• 1:34:07
  You're going against this season.
• 1:34:08
  Scared I haven't been scared about the lions in two years.
• 1:34:12
  I thought that I watched their opener last year and thought they were totally washed, that that
• 1:34:17
  dream was over, that Ben Johnson was a big reason why they were so successful.
• 1:34:21
  And you saw that play out with with the offense that he installed in Chicago.
• 1:34:27
  So I'm not afraid of the lions.
• 1:34:29
  For me, the biggest the the biggest challenge in the NFC North for as a Vikings fan was the
• 1:34:36
  bears.
• 1:34:37
  They are the reigning champs.
• 1:34:39
  But now we're starting to see cracks in that armor as well.
• 1:34:42
  This Green Bay team, their defense minus Micah Parsons is average at best.
• 1:34:48
  Right?
• 1:34:49
  And that offense without a a Josh Jacobs in the background is that.
• 1:34:56
  So, yeah, we'll we'll we'll see how things play out on Sunday.
• 1:35:00
  I'm really looking forward to the game.
• 1:35:02
  We'll be down at Brewster's doing our our pregame show from there on Sunday.
• 1:35:06
  We're excited about that too.
• 1:35:08
  Yeah.
• 1:35:09
  Shout out to Brewster's and Michael.
• 1:35:11
  He just actually messaged me.
• 1:35:13
  If we need anything, he we got he's got us.
• 1:35:16
  We're good to go.
• 1:35:17
  We got a broncos champion here.
• 1:35:18
  What up?
• 1:35:19
  How do you like that loss on Monday night?
• 1:35:27
  So, yep, Bruce is on Sunday.
• 1:35:30
  You'll come check us out if you're in the area and get ready for another week of football.
• 1:35:38
  I'll be there with a little bit of some grab bags from SPSN that I've collected and then,
• 1:35:47
  from man or Hastings Ford.
• 1:35:50
  Man, can you don't know what this
• 1:35:52
  Oh, man.
• 1:35:53
  That's crazy.
• 1:35:54
  Mike messed there.
• 1:35:56
  Yep.
• 1:35:57
  Hopefully, that mic messed up, and you're not in trouble.
• 1:36:01
  No.
• 1:36:01
  We appreciate it.
• 1:36:02
  You can check out all of the the schedule for our tailgates this year and everything that
• 1:36:07
  we'll be doing at tailgate.thesceneprojects.com.
• 1:36:11
  I'm gonna roll that.
• 1:36:13
  Scroll right here for everybody.
• 1:36:14
  Looking forward to that.
• 1:36:15
  We will be back for the home games at the VWO tailgate at 903 Washington Avenue South.
• 1:36:22
  They got a great thing going on there next to Fathead Billy's pros.
• 1:36:27
  Legends will be there every single week signing autographs.
• 1:36:30
  The tailgate scene is unmatched, I I think, all over.
• 1:36:33
  The skull line comes through every week.
• 1:36:35
  I mean, these guys got it going on.
• 1:36:37
  It's a block from the stadium.
• 1:36:38
  It's right there, and they're very well connected with the team and the organization.
• 1:36:42
  So, Kev, even though it's the last game of the season, we will still be out there tailgating.
• 1:36:47
  Maybe you can get up to Minneapolis and come kick it with us for right on Barrett at the end
• 1:36:52
  of the season.
• 1:36:53
  Oh, of course.
• 1:36:54
  I'll I'm actually thinking about going to that game.
• 1:36:56
  So I might even be going to the game itself.
• 1:36:58
  So I
• 1:36:59
  always Have you been to US Bank yet, Kev?
• 1:37:01
  Oh, yeah.
• 1:37:02
  I've been I've been to the Chicago Vikings the last three years.
• 1:37:07
  I've been going to the game.
• 1:37:08
  I was also there just not too long ago in August.
• 1:37:11
  I was there for a wrestling event.
• 1:37:13
  Yep.
• 1:37:13
  Yeah.
• 1:37:14
  I've been there several times, and it's always always a fun time to be there, you know, other
• 1:37:20
  than watching, you know, the bears kick a ball.
• 1:37:23
  It's it's fun.
• 1:37:25
  And then whenever we have to like, last year watching the game winning field goal, I I
• 1:37:29
  actually didn't even watch it.
• 1:37:30
  I turned my head.
• 1:37:31
  So did the 50 other bears fans that were in my section.
• 1:37:35
  We're like, yep.
• 1:37:35
  Can't watch this.
• 1:37:37
  So we just based it off the crowd reaction of what happened and, you know, turned out well.
• 1:37:43
  But every time I go, it is always competitive.
• 1:37:46
  It is always a defensive battle.
• 1:37:47
  I think this year, it's gonna be a little bit different because like I said, we have a lot of
• 1:37:51
  holes in our defense.
• 1:37:53
  You know, they're we we lost a lot of big pieces.
• 1:37:57
  So
• 1:37:58
  Yeah.
• 1:37:58
  Well, good.
• 1:37:59
  You heard it here first Vikings fans.
• 1:38:01
  The bears are scared.
• 1:38:03
  And they got old.
• 1:38:04
  Cracks in the armor.
• 1:38:05
  Let's go.
• 1:38:06
  Kev, thanks so much for jumping on with us tonight, man.
• 1:38:09
  Appreciate you, brother.
• 1:38:10

• 1:38:14

  Great weekend for everybody.
• 1:38:53
  Appreciate all the work you guys put in, you know, not just with Skullfest and coming up to
• 1:38:58
  the city, but, you know, running the show for me on Sunday so I could go and shoot some other
• 1:39:02
  content and and do some things with some other creators.
• 1:39:05
  I know that the show is always in good hands with you guys.
• 1:39:10
  I thought you did an awesome job, and you really showed us what the tailgate show can be.
• 1:39:15
  And I love that you were getting fans on there.
• 1:39:17
  You were getting, you know, the opposing team's fans and really just a a great snapshot of what
• 1:39:22
  it is to be there celebrating football and being there live and nothing but great reviews
• 1:39:29
  from everybody.
• 1:39:29
  We've been invited back.
• 1:39:31
  You know?
• 1:39:31
  And once you're in with this crew, this is a lifetime acceptance as long as you don't act a
• 1:39:38
  fool.
• 1:39:38
  Right?
• 1:39:39
  So as long as we keep the pickle shots to under 20, we'll be good.
• 1:39:45
  Well, we had that had that had
• 1:39:46
  that meeting had, to interact
• 1:39:49
  with the president of the VWO.
• 1:39:52
  Vice president.
• 1:39:53
  Yeah.
• 1:39:54
  It was good to visit with three three tents in a bus.
• 1:39:58
  They had a couple people come over.
• 1:40:00
  We even had Darren from The UK come over to chitchat with us while he was here visiting,
• 1:40:06
  watching the Vikings, and he's best friends with the Vikings fan of the year from overseas.
• 1:40:12
  So it was good to chitchat with him for a little bit.
• 1:40:15
  So Well, and I think he is white puffin.
• 1:40:17
  You're
• 1:40:18
  asking He is white
• 1:40:19
  puffin.
• 1:40:20
  That's puffin.
• 1:40:21
  Very awesome.
• 1:40:21
  Alright.
• 1:40:22
  Damn it.
• 1:40:22
  It's cool to see this this community around us now growing.
• 1:40:26
  Right?
• 1:40:27
  And then being able to tap in with the Skullfest guys and the VWO and just growing
• 1:40:32
  this community and really bringing what we do here that we've been working on with this
• 1:40:37
  platform and the tailgate show and now bringing that really to the tailgate, I think, is in its
• 1:40:42
  element.
• 1:40:43
  And really looking forward to getting up to Brewster's again.
• 1:40:46
  Hoping I can make it back up, you know, this weekend for the bears if I can't right away.
• 1:40:51
  I mean, we got some logistics to figure out over the course, and it's a short turnaround.
• 1:40:55
  So we'll get coach there at least if he's just on his phone this week and we're producing it
• 1:41:00
  from home with Cody on-site.
• 1:41:02
  Obviously, it's a lot closer to you guys than it is for me to get all the way up there.
• 1:41:06
  So we'll figure it all out, but check all that out at tailgate.thesceneprojects.com.
• 1:41:13
  You see the schedule, get your, you know, directions over to the tailgate there.
• 1:41:18
  We're gonna be doing a ton of giveaways at these things.
• 1:41:20
  We're gonna make it like like the tailgate is and working with Mike.
• 1:41:24
  And who is the other gentleman from up there, fellas?
• 1:41:31

  I gotta give him a shout out.
• 1:41:47
  I mean,
• 1:41:47
  how cool is it, and what are the odds of us interviewing the Vikings, fan of the year from
• 1:41:55
  The UK and then seeing his best friend at the game?
• 1:41:59
  Like, that was crazy.
• 1:42:02
  Yeah.
• 1:42:02

  Well, and I know that John gonna come back.
• 1:42:07
  So

• 1:42:11
  He's coming in for one of the games.
• 1:42:13
  I forget which one it is now, but so we'll get him on as well for for one of those home games.
• 1:42:17
  They get to talk to him and yeah.

• 1:42:21
  It was such a cool site, cool seat, all the costumes, all the, you know, different people
• 1:42:27
  and just chitchatting with everybody.
• 1:42:29
  And how how it was just a big family gathering pretty much.
• 1:42:34
  I mean, yeah, we talked football and stuff, but you can go to any tech and be like, oh, what
• 1:42:38

• 1:42:48
  So anybody listening, if you're a, you know, an opposing fan coming to Minneapolis for the
• 1:42:53
  first time, I highly recommend if you're gonna go to a tailgate, come to 903 Washington.

  All fans are welcome.
• 1:42:58
  We're we're we're football people.

  You can take that out on the street if you want to, but we're here to kinda honor the other
• 1:43:18
  fans as well.
