Vikings beat the Giants in Week 1, but can they beat the 49ers in Week 2? | TSH Ep. 57 · The Skol Hop

• 0:21
  Speaker 1: All right, Hey, Vikings fans, welcome into another episode of
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: The School Hop.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: I'm Evan and I'm Austin.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: We're just a couple of dudes from Iowa. We like
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: drinking beer talking about the Vikings.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we do. And I'm excited for this beer this week.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: I'm excited for this episode this week. It's been a
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: good week in Viking world.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: It has been a fantastic week.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: And we'll just ride the high and hope it never
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: falls down. Let's hope, all right, So, Evan, you know,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: we have a tradition if you're new to the School Hop.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: We haven't really welcomed in new people for a while,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: so if you're new to the School Hop, we have
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: a tradition of drinking Iowa Brood beers only on the podcast.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: We like all kinds of beers. But you brought the
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: beer tonight.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I did, and I think you're gonna like this one.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I tried this one not too long ago, and it's
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: kind of in a category all on its own, but
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: it is extremely delicious.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: It seems like it now. This is not a beer
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: that I would traditionally pick up off the shelf. And
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: actually it's been so long this will be the first
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: time I'm trying it, even though I've seen it many times,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: because I'm a little intimidated by it. It's not my
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: traditional style of beer. To go for it.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: You don't reach for it for a few reasons. Number one,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the title alone Norrmal Apple Fandango is a little odd.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: And then the price tag on top of that, Yeah,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: it's twenty dollars for a four pack of twelve ouncers.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah that's so toping Goliathhoria. They're not cheap, but also
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: they're not bad. They're a great beer, and I think
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: because of that, they know what they've got, so they
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: charge appropriately. Also, I think a lot of that goes
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: into the types of ingredients that they use for their beers.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: They're not cheaping out on things, So.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Kind of related to the price tag, we should maybe
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: pay the bills so we can continue to afford good beer.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Well, we are fortunate to have presenting sponsor, Thank you
• 2:07

• 2:49
  Speaker 1: We appreciate that.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Otherwise things might be a little different.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: So, speaking of beer, I think before we get to
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: anything else, we got to crack these open. Absolutely, we
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: need to start sipping on these, because I really want
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: you to try this.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I think excited.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: It's a special one.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: You've had this one before, right.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I've had it one time. So shout out to my
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: brother in law Jason and his wife Paige. They brought
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: these over Labor Day weekend, and I think my sister
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: in law Page brought it just kind of on a.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Whim Jason fellow Vikings fan.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Career fellow Vikings fan Jason. But Paige went to the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: store and was tasked with bringing back some beer and
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: she saw this on the shelf and she's like, oh,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: that sounds good, and this is what she came back with.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I can tell you right off the bat, the second
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: we cracked the cans open, before we even pored them,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: you're getting that caramel. It smells like the sucker. Yeah,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: the caramel apple sucker. And I'm here for it. I'm
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: digging it again. Sweet beers are not usually my go to.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I'm not a sour guy, although I'm famous for saying
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: it a few times. Maybe I am a sour guy
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: because every time we try a sour on the podcast,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I end up liking it.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: And I said this earlier, it's class fight as a sour,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: but I feel like it kind of fits in a
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: category all on its own. Yeah, and I think you'll
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: see that when we try.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: All Right, let's just dive in.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Let's go. H Okay, that's a good beer.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: It's got some tart to it. It's very sweet. It's
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: the exact flavor of the caramel apple sucker. Yes, there
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: is no better way to describe it.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: It is liquid caramel apple sucker with alcohol.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Honestly, if I had no idea, if you just handed
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: me like a black glass with this, so I couldn't
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: even see what it looked like and just said, hey,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: here's a liquid. It's good. Try. It didn't tell me
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: it was a beer or alcohol at all. I would
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: taste it and be like, that's a caramel apple soda
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: or something. I'm not getting any beer flavoring, which I
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: was kind of concerned about. You know, you get sweet
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: mixed with like a stereotypical beer flavor that might not
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: always but oh my goodness, this is candy.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: This is this is delicious, and the best part about
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: it is you ready for this. It doesn't get stuck
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: in your teeth.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I may or may not have broken a tooth like
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: twelve years ago that is still still got a hole
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: in it from those caramel apple suckers, and I'm not
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: concerned about that. With this beer. It's got to be
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: a sour. What does it classify itself?
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Ass It is a sour, Yeah, but I think it's
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: so different from your typical sour beers that it just
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: doesn't it doesn't fit perfectly in that category.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Did you already read the description from the can?
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I didn't, but you should.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, So from Toppling Goliath, which is the
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: brewery that makes this, they list it they say this
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: is a unique sour beer which features rich caramel flavors
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: balanced with the crisped tart notes of fresh green apples.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: All the flavor of a caramel apple, none of the stick.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I literally didn't even know that.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that was in the description. That's awesome.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, outside of saying, hey, this is the beer version
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: of those caramel apple suckers, that description right there hit
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: the nail on the head. This is really good. I'm
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: excited to have a few more and give final thoughts
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: at the end.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I'm going to put another one in right now. Glasses
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: just to fill this up.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, these glasses are not made for just twelve ounces,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: so I will do the same.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: You can kind of do a good old Austin for here.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: You don't have to really get that crazy with the tilt,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: just go straight in.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Also, sours aren't typically known for having like a super Yeah,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: a lot of head retention, just the nature of the beers.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm excited. Thank you Evan for bringing this.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Thank you, honestly, thank you Paige, Evan's sister in law,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: for introducing it to Evan for the first time. And
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: thank you Toppling Goliath.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: It's delicious, and thanks Big Top for allowing us just
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: thanks everybody to buy the beer, and thanks to the
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Vikings for letting us have a podcast to be here
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: to talk about in the first place. We're just going
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: to shower praise on everybody in this episode.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: It's a good week. It's a week of praise.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Well, we've got some great things to talk about with
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the Vikings, but I think before we get into that,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: we need to remind everybody really quick that one week
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: from yesterday, six days from today, we're gonna be in
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and we are going to be participating
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: in the first ever Iowa Podcast Awards.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: I'm super excited and we've said it a thousand times.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: We're up for three awards. One of those awards is
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: actually giving people an opportunity to vote for the podcast
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: that are up for it. So if you would be
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: so kind, we'll put the link down on the screen
• 7:37

  Speaker 2: podcast and hit submit, that would give us a vote

  Speaker 2: We'd be honored if you vote. We're honored no matter
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: what to be nominated. I'm super excited. We're up for

  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're in the running for the Emerging Podcast Award
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: as well as the Best Sports Podcast Award, So we
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: would be thrilled, honored, humbled to win anything, but we're
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: also just kind of excited to be a part of it,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and walking away with nothing will still feel pretty good
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: because I think we'll just have the opportunity to rub
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: some shoulders with other podcast creators and get our name
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: out there, get our brand out there a little bit
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: more to people in Iowa.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, and no matter what, we're not going to be
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: walking away with nothing because we're walking away with the
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: opportunity to have a live episode. We're still going to
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: put it out on our regular stream, so you'll be
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: able to listen to it even if you're not physically
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: at the Podcast Awards. But during that day, immediately after
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: the Vikings forty nine Ers game Week two NFL Week two,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: we will be recording a live episode of the Skull
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Hop Next week. Next time you hear our voices, we'll
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: be from the Iowa Podcast Awards, and I'm that might
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: be the most exciting thing for me.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm pumped for that. It's gonna be awesome. It's
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: gonna be a little intimidating, I think, but also at
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: the same time, I can't wait. It's gonna be awesome.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be great. We need to coordinate like outfits.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know if we go like dumb and dumber
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: with the suits in or.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Anything, but I don't have an orange suit.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: So we got plenty of time.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Man, all right, we have to go to Goodwill see
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: what we can find. Speaking of shopping, Yeah, we need
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: to go shopping for this purple punishments. We kind of
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: got ourselves off the hook. Well, the Viking has got
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: us off the hook by winning in the best way possible.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: So if you haven't been with us for the last
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks, we're rolling out a new segment now
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: that the NFL season has officially kicked off. Before the season,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Austin and I picked every single Vikings game, all seventeen
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: of them. We're gonna keep track week after week if
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: we individually got them correct or if we got them wrong.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: If we get them wrong, we've generated a spinning wheel
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: called the Wheel of purple punishments. Yeah, and we will
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: have to spin the wheel if we get it wrong.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Fortunately for us, we both picked a Vikings win yeh
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: this week, and the Vikings followed through on that and
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: they got the dub for us, so we are safe
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: this week. We do not have to spin the wheel. However,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: we are going to spin the wheel now so that
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: we can make sure we're prepared to follow through on
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: whatever the punishment might be if we incorrectly guess the
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: next game. Let's really quick recap what we've picked. Okay,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: so next week the Vikings play the forty nine ers.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: They host the forty nine host.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: The forty nine ers. It's the home opener. We both
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: picked the Vikings to lose that game. Interesting, so we
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: picked we both picked them to win week one against
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: the Giants. They did that, and we're picking them to
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: lose Week two against the Niners. So if for some
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: reason the Vikings pull it off and they get the dub,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: we are going to be doing something probably embarrassing.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: At least punishing in front of a lot of people,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: which that's exciting. So I'll tell you what I hope. Obviously,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I hope the Vikings win every week, but more so
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: for entertainment value. I hope we have to do a
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: purple punishment. So Evan is getting our virtual wheel ready.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: So the way this works we have listed out I
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: don't know, seventeen eighteen. However, many punishments we pre plan
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: for and on a normal episode, not next week in
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: a live episode, but on a normal episode right here
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: in the Skullman Center. If we are one or both
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: of us are incorrect in our picks, we will spin
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: the wheel and we've got We'll put it up on
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: the screen at some somehow. Evan's the magic maker right there,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: but we'll spin the wheel and perform right then and
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: there on the episode whatever that punishment is. But then
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: after that, then that punishment is off the wheel. Correct yep.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: So once we do something, we're going to take it
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: off the wheel, and probably the wheel will get smaller
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: and smaller as the season goes along, hopefully not too small,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: because that would mean we got a lot of games wrong.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, we did pick some losses, so maybe
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: we would only get the losses run.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, I'm gonna get this going here, and
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: again this is just kind of a preemptive thing. So
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: that we're prepared when we're sitting in those chairs at
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: the Podcast Awards next week, if we do have to
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: follow through on a punishment, this will be the punishment.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Are you ready, I'm ready?
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: All right, here we go. All right, Well, we get
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: sound effects too, sound effects.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: I can't really read it, so you're gonna.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: The punishment will be. The punishment will be we cannot
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: say the word vikings at all, and every time we do,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: we have to do ten push ons, which.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: That's gonna be hard. That would have been hard to
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: do in front of nobody, but that's gonna be really
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: hard to do in front of a bunch of people
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: where we're really trying to get our podcast out and
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: we're really excited about the things that we're doing.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just glad we don't have to like eat
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: a hobb and naro or anything, because that would I
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to talk for the rest of the episode.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: I'd just be like, Okay, guys, well I'm not gonna
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: lie to you. Evan. Given the choice between having to
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: do ten push ups however many times because I'm gonna
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: slip up or eat a hobb and arrow, I absolutely
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: would have eaten a hobby arrow in front of you.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: We can do like knee push ups, right if you
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: get tired.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Well, that's the other thing here. We can we can
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: kind of see our set and we could kind of
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: figure it out to where we know, Okay, you're in
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: frame when you're doing these push ups, Austin, but I
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: don't really know.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: What it's gonna look like. So we'll figure it out. Yeah,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: we'll make it happen. But that's that's the punishment. So
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: if the Vikings end up pulling it off against the
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers, we will not be able to say
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: the word Vikings throughout the whole episode. Good news is
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: it'll be a shorter EPID, so have a forty five
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: minute window there. But if we say it, we have
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: to do ten push ups, So we probably better practice
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: this week and just start calling them the Purple Team.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: I need to get my form down because I'm not
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: gonna be able to not say the Vikings. So another
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: thing to note here is typically when we spin the
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: wheel like I just said, and we hit on something,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: then that punishment is not available the rest of the season.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: But I guess on air production meeting in my head,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: if we don't have to do the punishment if the
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: biking is on the wheel. Yeah, if the Vikings end
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: up losing, then that Vikings ten push ups every time
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: stays on the wheel because we hadn't completed it yet,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: So I agree.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: There you go. Decision made. Now we can finally talk
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: about how awesome Week one was.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I can we just live in the
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: excitement one Football's back.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Football is back.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: We literally have a recording during the Jets forty nine
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Ers game. I think it's halftime right now. We have
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: it right here. It's live football. College football's back, high
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: school football's back. It is just I love it. And
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: it's still not like and we're deep into fall.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: We're drinking a great fall beer.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: The Octoberfest beers are starting to come out. You may
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: see some Octoberfest beers start to make an appearance on
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: the show, even if they've already been on the show.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: I think that's a tradition we can live with, oh
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: for sure, and happily happily go with. But yeah, football's back.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: And there's nothing worse than getting hyped up about your
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: team for the better part of a year and seeing
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: the moves happen drafting the quarterback tenth overall, getting super
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: excited reading all the news pieces about why your team's
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: gonna win the Super Bowl, and then there's nothing worse
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: to see a Week one loss, And unfortunately for the Giants,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: they're living in that right now. Those Giants fans, they're
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: probably ready to trade away or even just flat out
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: cut Daniel Jones.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Did you see the video of their fans burning his
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: jersey in the parking lot because it burn jerseys? But
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: that was a little much. That was a little much.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Albeit it was kind of funny, but that was a
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: little much.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: So anyways, a couple of interesting stats about this game,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: and I'm just stealing some of the notes that you've
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: already written down, so us, I'm sorry for piggybacking off
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: of you, but this was the first win by seventeen
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: plus points for the Purple team since December of twenty nineteen.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: I have a child who is in school and has
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: not been alive for a Vikings win by seventeen or
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: more points. That is insane.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Here's another interesting little tidbit for you that's not on
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: your notes. You probably already knew this, but Sam Darnold
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: was the highest rated quarterback in PFF this week, higher
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: than Patrick Mahomes. He was, by that ranking the best
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: quarterback in the league. That's before this Monday night game happened,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: of course. Yeah, but still, and I don't think. I mean,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: we've watched tidbits of it as we've been recording here.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers nor Brock Purty really look outstanding.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah we don't. We don't have Superman yet in this
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Monday night football game. But yeah, that's crazy. I did see.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: It's one of those like visual bar graphs that plots
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: out players based on the stat I don't know exactly
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: what the stat was, if it was quarterback rating or
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: whatever it was, but it had the best quarterbacks all
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: on one side. And there's a cluster of three guys,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Pat Mahomes, Derek Carr for the Saints, and our very
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: own Sam Darnold. So that's fun to see. It's a
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: fun few days in Vikings world right now. Hopefully it
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: doesn't come crashing down next Sunday, but for now we
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: get to live in it. And you said you were
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: chair picking some of my ideas. Truthfully, I went to
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: our favorite Viking site, Vikings Territory, dot com and I'm
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: terry picking some of these talking points from their snap
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: reactions after the Vikings Giants game article. So definitely go
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: check out Kings Territory dot com. Check that article out,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: and by the time you're hearing me say this, there's
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: gonna be a handful more articles and probably more news out.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: So just check out that website. Dustin Baker and all
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: those guys do a great job.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: So yeah, agreed, Agreed, for sure, Let's talk about Sam
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Darnold for a little bit. I think that's low hanging
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: fruit in week one here, But I don't think you
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: could have an episode about week one winning over the
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Giants without talking about that guy.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah he looked great. Yeah, and he looked really really good.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: There wasn't a point where he looked like he was
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: seeing ghosts. There was a point early on where I
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: was kind of getting concerned about that because he was
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: starting to get bounced around a little bit, and I
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: was immediately thinking like, oh no, he's gonna go back
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: to his days of not knowing that he's on a
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: good team, like thinking he's on the Jets again, and
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: just start throwing the ball heywire. But luckily the Vikings
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: o Lion after some early I don't know, mishaps, nothing crazy.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: They seem to figure it out. Even though the Giants
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: d line that was probably their biggest, biggest selling point
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: for the whole game for them. Dexter Lawrence Exter Lobster.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Looked like a beast. He was freakish for a while,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: and he really had an impact on Garrett Bradbury and
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Ed Ingram for sure.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Blake Brandell on the other side looked better, I thought, Yeah,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: But Dexter Lawrence made a fool of Bradbury and Ingram
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: at times.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Absolutely Brandell, I think it was news today. His PFF
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: ranking was something like in the nineties, I think he
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: was the highest trained Viking.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: He was the highest ranked Viking.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: So what do we know, Dalton who you know?
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Well, there, I've seen some stuff out there today that said, like,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: let's get Dalton Reisner back in healthy quick and let's
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: put him on the right side instead of Ingram.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Hopefully we won't have to debate about that idea. Hopefully
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: things get turned around and realistically the Vikings offensive line
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: held up well enough. Maybe that for all I know.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: The coaching staff's schemed around a very aggressive defensive line
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: from the Giants and made some fast passes. Either way,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: things seemed to work. While we are complimenting the Giants
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: really quick, I did want to say, Melik Neighbors, he
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: might be worth the hype. I mean, I wasn't thinking
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: he'd be bad. But some of the few highlight plays
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: the Giants had from that game were big passes to
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Molik Neighbors and he looks to be pretty good. So
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: hopefully the Giants have something in him. But luckily it
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: wasn't enough to beat the Vikings yesterday.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So back to Sam Darnold because that's kind of
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: where we started this conversation. He was nineteen for twenty four,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: two hundred and eight yards, seventy nine point two completion percentage,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: two touchdowns, an interception that was tipped at the line.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, his arm got hit as he was throwing the
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: ball and it just kind of like volcanoed up. And yeah,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: the Giants, I mean, credit to them, they made the
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: play on that interception.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: He took that sack early in the first quarter, yep.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: And that's I mean, again just exposing kind of Dexter
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Lawrence's effect on the interior offensive line there. But man,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: that's a stat line that you could be proud of
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: if you if you put Kirk Cousins stat line from
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: yesterday and Sam Donald's stat line from yesterday in front
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: of me and said which one was Sam and which
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: one was Kirk, I would have said Sam's was Kirk's
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: and Kirk's was Sam's. You know what I'm saying.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: We literally tweeted out the stat lines without the names
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: next to him, and it was Kirk Cousins and Sam
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Darnold about halftime for each game, and I my tweet was, okay, okay,
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: which quarterback is one hundred and forty million dollars or
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty million dollars and which one was
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: ten million dollars? And I think we can both agree
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: we're not going to sit here and crap on Kirk
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Cousins all season. I think you could make a case
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: maybe he's not fully healed or fully prepared to be
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: playing and getting the force off of his legs, which
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: may have been a factor in his poor play yesterday
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: for the Falcons. We're still Cousins fans, but I'm glad
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: that Donald is our quarterback. After one game, you know,
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: let's over exaggerate a little bit. It's one game, but
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: it's exciting.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: I saw something today on Twitter too that basically kind
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: of underscored the reality that Kirk's game yesterday would have
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: been the Vikings reality had he stayed, and it kind
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: of the tweet was kind of starting to dig into
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: the Koc Quacy dynamic a little bit, because Koc was
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: very much on the Kirk train and was like, this
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: is my ride or die kind of guy, and Quaycy
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: was like, well, let's explore our options here, you know.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: And if it hadn't been for Quacy bringing that system
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: of checks and balances, we might still have Kirk cousins
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: when we might see we might have seen a lot
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: of those underthrown ducks because, like you said, he's not
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: able to project off of that back foot like he
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: used to be able to before his surgeries.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, to your point, I think Koc and Kirk just
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: had such a good working relationship, and it probably felt
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: even better because Kirk's relationship was with his last head
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: coach was not very good, as evident by the Star
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Tribute article from about a week ago, and obviously Koc
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: he felt very comfortable with Kirk. We all did for
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: the most part. But so Koc is going to be
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: that emotional in a good way. I mean this positive,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: that emotional reaction decision maker, Whereas Quasi, I really feel
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: like he could build a roster just off of attributes
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: and if he took names out of it, he wouldn't care,
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: which I think if you're analytically building a roster, that's
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: probably the best way to do it. So I do
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: have it written down here. Kind of jumping ahead after
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: watching one game this season, it kind of feels like
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: you know in college when a head coach gets hired
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: and they're like, ah, they got like six years because
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: you have to really see what they do with their
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: recruiting and their coaching staff and how they implement their system.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: It kind of feels like we're finally getting to the
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Koc and Quac. This is their team now. Most of
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: the past regime is gone save for Harrison Smith and
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: a few other guys. This team is fully Quacy and
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Koc and to that point too, Brian Flores, And it
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: kind of feels like this is finally like exactly what
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: we're getting and I'm here for it.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm one hundred percent here for it. And I
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: mean we could miss the playoffs this year and go,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: you know, go out with seven wins or eight wins
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: or whatever, and I'll still be happy because I think
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: the pieces are there. And I think over the course
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: of this next season and into next season, you continue
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: to mold and shape this roster into what it can be,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: to be that Super Bowl contending roster, and things are
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: just looking up for the Vikings organization from here. It
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: may be a struggle this season at times, but I'm excited.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: Well, and I think another thing is like yes again
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: for the twelfth time, it's after one game and we're
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: going to overreact. Maybe the Giants will end up being
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: the laughing SoC of the league. I gotta know, which will,
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: you know, make this game seem less exciting. But the Vikings,
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: all of the newcomers, I mean, you're talking Sam Darnold,
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: You're talking Van Ginkel, who had maybe the plays play
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: of the game. You're talking Aaron Jones. All of the
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: newcomers that were supposed to do good things for this
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: team did just that. Nobody really esked the bed. You know,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: we didn't have anybody on one hand, yeah, we didn't
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: have anybody be Superman justin Jefferson didn't get ten thousand
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: yards receiving and a hundred touchdowns in one game. But
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: we also didn't have anybody be just the worst person ever,
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: like fumble it twelve times. Yeah, we had the early
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: fumble from CJ. Ham which is I think PA said
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: c J. Hams fumbled twice in like one hundred games,
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: like it doesn't happen.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: It's kind of crazy.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: It was a fluke play. But we didn't have like
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: the nemesis, the villain of the game that made the
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Vikings lose. Newcomers included, So I think there's just a
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: lot of reasons to feel good about this team.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: You got some some of those newcomers. If you go
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: to at Vikings Sorry, at Vikes Insider. At vikes Insider
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: on Twitter, they listed out each of the Vikings PFF
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: grades from top to bottom. Blake Brandell, we already mentioned,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: was at the top of the list with a ninety
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: one point two ranking, but then Aaron Jones number two,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: ninety point nine newcomer this season, Andrew van Ginkel ninety
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: point six, number three on the team, Sam Darnold eighty
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: eight point one. You go a little farther down the
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: list jehad Ward seventy nine point nine, Stefan Gilmour seventy
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: five point eight, Blake Cashman seventy four. Like, as you said,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: these new guys came in and they played really well. Yeah,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: they played up to, if not maybe even slightly better
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: than the expectation. And that's what we need if we're
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: gonna make that push this season and into future seasons.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I just a lot of reasons right now to
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: feel good and honestly watching as the second half of
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: the Jets Niners game kicks off here in California at
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: seven to sixteen Jets right now. You kind of said
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: it earlier. It's not like the Niners. I'm sorry, seven
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: to sixteen Niners right now. But yeah, it's not like
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: the Niners are blowing anybody out. It's not like the
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Jets are looking crazy good. I don't know. I just
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: seeing this one half, I feel like the Vikings have
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: a chance. At least they beat this team last year
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: with Kirk Cousins and a bunch of guys that aren't
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: here anymore. But they seem better now. So I hope
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: we're wrong. I hope we have to do the punishment
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: next week on the podcast.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: And you said it a little bit ago before we
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: started recording. You said we should probably be rooting against
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: any NFC team, And obviously this Monday night game that
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: we're kind of keeping an eye on tonight is AFC
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: versus NFC. But we've got both of these teams before
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: the bye week week six, so we've got the Niners
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: coming up this week and then week five in London
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: against the Jets. So this is definitely a game of
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: interest for the Vikings in the early part of the season,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: and this will certainly be film that the team uses
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: to prepare for both of these games.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. And another thing that I think kind of helps.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'm putting too much credit to it, but I
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: think it kind of helps the Vikings case next week
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: is the fact that the Niners are playing right now
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: a full day more than a full day after the
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: Vikings played, so the Niners have a little bit of
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: a short week. Yeah, good teams overcome things like that,
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: and the Vikings are going to have those situations throughout
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: the season two where they're on a short week. Actually,
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: maybe not too many times because they don't have a
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: lot of prime time games, but you gotta think. I mean,
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: it's got to affect you a little bit. So the
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Niners are they have less time to prepare. Yeah, they
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: watched the Vikings yesterday, just like like the Vikings are
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: watching the Niners right now. Yeah. I really think the Vikings, honestly,
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: truthfully have a chance. I'm not sitting here saying they're
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: gonna get blown out or blow the Niners out. I
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: just think it's going to be a good game, especially
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: since it's in Minnesota. I don't know, what are your thoughts.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Do you think the Vikings have a chance.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: I think there's definitely a chance. I'm still gonna stick
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: with my prediction that they lose. I don't know that
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: the Vikings are good enough for that. And I think
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: despite all of the good things that we've said so
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: far about how great this game was, they played against
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: the Giants. Yeah, and you know, the Giants could turn
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: out to be a pretty decent team. Maybe this is
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: the wake up call they needed to really get their
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: stuff together and turn it around and make something happen
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: this season. But the Vikings had some issues too. There
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: were some miscues, there were some penalties, There were those,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: and we talked about this yesterday in our kind of
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: just immediate game recap video that we pushed out, which,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: by the way, if you want to watch that, that'll
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: be down in the description below. We'll have that linked.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: That's something we're going to try to do this season
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: two is due to just a quick immediate reaction video
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: and give our kind of takes on each vikings game.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: But anyways, you had said it yesterday. I kind of
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: lost my train of thought because I was trying to
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: hype up the other video that we made. But anyways,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: there were some things, Oh I remember, now, I got it.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: I'm back on it. I got to reel that back in.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: It was the penalties, it was the delay of game.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: It was the timeouts that were taken instead of the
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: delay of game penalties. There were a few moments, I
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: think it was in the third quarter where Koc and
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold just weren't quite on the same page, and
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Donald I think was probably getting the play late and
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: then he ran out of time and then KOs came
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: in and bailed him out with a timeout before they
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: had to eat the five yards and take the penalty.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: And that happened twice, and it happened like very close
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: together within the span of just a few minutes. Yeah,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: just a few.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Plays definitely seemed to be an issue something, And I
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: said it in the video. Please go check that out too.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: I said it. It kind of to me seems like
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: that's one thing that could be remedied with more in
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: game experience between Donald and KOs once they figure out,
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: once they become kind of one mind, they'll figure out
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: the communication things, how they talk to each other. Donald
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: may eventually get to the point where he's like, Okay,
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Kos's gonna call this play and just he's gonna be like, yeah,
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: I already knew you're gonna say that. It's something like that.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: But I feel like those taking up all of the
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: play clock is just gonna be diminish the more that
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: they KOs and Donald play football together.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: And you mentioned that too. You said yesterday that it
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: seemed like they were using most of the play clock
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: to get the play, get to the line, make their reads,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: and then snap the ball. So I agree with you.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: I think that will come with time. And I think
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell is just such a likable guy and such
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: an easy to work with guy that I think it'll
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: be easy for Sam Donald. I think it already has
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: been easy, and it will continue to be easy for
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: those two to work together and continue to iron those
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: things out.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: And one thing that maybe I'll say is like a
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: sneaky little comment every week, is as we say, you know,
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: KOs and Donald are going to go through the season
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: and have their coach quarterback relationship mature and go through together.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Right in that room should be JJ McCarthy for every conversation.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: It should be a family of quarterbacks and coach. And
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: that's only going to help JJ's forced redshirt year, injury year,
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: and hopefully make his development all that much better. If
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: you watched Michigan football this weekend, you can see, yes, Michigan,
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: the University of Michigan. They lost pretty bad against Texas. Sorry, Forest,
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: I love you, Forest, but I mean in Michigan lost
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: more than just a quarterback. They lost their coach. They
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: had thirteen drafted players, They lost a lot of people,
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: maybe even fourteen. But JJ McCarthy was a big reason
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: for Michigan to be successful. Obviously, he was the tenth
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: overall pick. So in these conversations throughout this forced redshirt year,
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: as Donald and Koc meld into one mind, just throw
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy into that too, because it sounds like JJ's
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: already in the meeting rooms and kind of back to
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: being around the team a little bit.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's definitely what it sounds like. Really quick, because
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: I feel like we've bounced back and forth between the
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: Giants game and the Niners game. Let's put a bow
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: on this Giants win really quick. Twenty eight to six,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: Vikings winning at Mettlife Stadium against the Giants in Week one.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: I asked you this question yesterday. Now that we've had
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: kind of a day to marinate on it, your answer
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: can stay the same, it could change. It's totally up
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: to you. Who are you giving a game ball to
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: after yesterday's win.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Well, I thought it was funny because the Vikings did
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: what they always do after a win. They do the
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: video of Koc kind of raw Rob given the game
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: balls to the players in the locker room. I think
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: the first game ball he gave was to Sam Donald,
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: and he said a fun stat which kind of blew
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: over my head. During the game, Donald started.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Twelve for twelve, Yeah.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: And like looked really good and it wasn't just checkdowns
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: every play. So Donald was the first game ball I
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: gave you know when you asked that question after the game,
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: and he was the first game ball KOC gave of
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four season was to Sam Donald, and
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: the other ones he gave to I'm pretty sure Harrison
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: Smith got a game ball from KOC, Andrew Van Ginkel
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: got a game ball for his pick six, and just
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: being everywhere, like you said, throughout the game, I think
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Aaron Jones got a game ball. So I'm totally skirting
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: by this question, but I think KOC made the perfect choices,
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: and I may even be forgetting one or two. Do
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: you have any other guys that you would give or well?
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: I mentioned when we did our little recap video yesterday
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: that Pat Jones might be a sneaky pick for a
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: game ball, and I don't think he was awarded one,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: which is fine. And I know after looking at like
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: the Vikes Insider post that he actually ranked pretty low.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: He was like fourth from the bottom in PFF on
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: the team. PFF is one stat I don't know that
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: I read into that, like that's not like certified gospel
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: to me.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: I agree with you, but we're doing the classic fan
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: thing where it's like, oh, PFF is awesome. Look break
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Blake Brandall, there's awesome grade. Then one guy doesn't get
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: a good grade, Like, oh, it's just they don't know
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: what they're looking at. Breath. We're saying yes and no.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: But I agree with you.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: It's one stat. It's one stat. And I guess what
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to say is uh, and I'm gonna piggyback
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: on someone else. I watched Ben Leeber's uh postgame thoughts
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: and he mentioned Pat Jones. He mentioned I didn't watch
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: that before we did our post game reaction. The postgame
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: reaction was literally like minutes after the clock expired. We
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: hopped on and recorded our stuff, and I said that,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: and then I heard Ben Leeber say that too, like, hey,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: watch out for Pat Jones. He's had a great summer,
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: he had a good camp. He's a good player, and
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: he could be disruptive on defense for the Vikings, and
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: he was. He had two sacks yesterday. Yeah, so PFF
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: grade be what it is. Pat Jones man got after
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: the quarterback and recorded a couple of sacks. A heck
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: of a first game for that guy.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, I agree with you, and I was just
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: trying to be funny. Yeah, I would trust bend Lever
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: before I would really trust PFF. Two sacks is no
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: small feet. I do want to point something out a
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: little bit. Oh never mind, it's I thought I saw
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: something that that wasn't true. Anyways. Yeah, I think those
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: are appropriate game balls to give out. You actually gave
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: a good answer. I just kind of copped out and
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: did what chaos did. So you just said what chaos.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: You do that a lot.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: But it makes me sound smart.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: And I sound dumb because I'm like, I'm a hoomer
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: that's like, oh, PFF is great, and then oh, but
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: then there's this one guy.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: I wasn't trying to make you sound dumb. I just
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: thought it was funny that we were living that sentence
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: in real life because I truthfully agree with you. We
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: can moheartedly on that.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Well, you can give each other a hard time every
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: once in a while.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, kind of going away from week one,
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: we celebrated, we enjoyed it. Like you said, we've been
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: bouncing back and between the previous Giants game and the
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: upcoming Niners game. Is there one thing you think the
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: Vikings need to work on a key to victory against
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: the Niners? What do you think.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: So, we're watching the Niners play right now, and literally
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: just seconds ago. It's in a commercial break right now.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: But while you were making fun of me, the Niners
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: scored a touchdown and it's the undrafted free agent rookie
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: that I don't even know his name, but he's the
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: running back that's playing in place of Christian.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Mccafferyting on screen right now, number twenty four.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Number twenty four, And don't ask me his name off
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: the top of my head because I don't know. But
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: he just scored a touchdown. The Niners are up now
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: twenty four No. Twenty three to seven over the Jets.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: They're looking pretty good with seven forty five left in
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: the third. I think, to answer your question, the Vikings
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: did a pretty decent job of stopping the run against
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: the Giants. And I think that interior defensive line, Harrison
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: Phillips and Jerry Tiller, Yeah, I thought they did a
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: nice job. I think that has to continue to be
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: the focal point. I think the other pieces are there,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: with your edge rushers and your linebacking corps. I think
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: you've got a lot of talent there. I think those
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: two guys in the middle have to be ready to
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: plug some holes and go after some slippery running backs,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: whether it's this rookie twenty four for San Francisco, Christian McCaffrey,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: whoever they put out there at Deebo. Samuel sometimes takes
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: things out of the backfield. Yeah, you've got to be
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: ready for anything against that Kyle Shanahan offense.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're a sneaky and really good offensive team. And
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: it's not just because of one guy. Like you said
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: one thing. You may have just said this that kind
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: of space out there for half a second. But there's
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: a chance, I mean right now McCaffrey's not playing, and
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: Adam Schefter said earlier this evening on the ninth that
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: there's a real chance he doesn't play against the Vikings,
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: which if you remember last year, Yeah, the Vikings won,
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: but McCaffrey, I believe, had two touchdowns like a rushing
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: and receiving. He was the main reason the Niners were
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: still in the game.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Wasn't there someone else that was injured in that game?
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: Though I can't remember they were.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: I think they were missing Trent Williams.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: That was it.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it, which is a huge piece, like literally
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: and figuratively yep, to their their offense. He's he's massive,
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: and he's very good at what he does. So yeah,
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: the Vikings beat the Niners team last year without those
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: two guys, and potentially next week won't face McCaffrey. You
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: gotta think even if he does play after missing a
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: game one week, he won't be one hundred percent. But
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: like you just said, their their other fill in running
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: back number twenty four, he's doing pretty well too so.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: And and the Jets have a pretty good defense. Truth
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: be told, Yes, I think that's maybe the stronger facet
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: of their team right now. I think the narrative that
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: I'm getting about the Jets is that Aaron Rodgers is
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: really struggling to.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: Adapt to as he it was a deflected pick, that's crazy.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: But yeah, as you were saying that, that's crazy that
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: that happened.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, I don't know that the offense
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: in New York is all of a sudden amazing because
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is healthy and throwing footballs. Again, I think
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: it gets better, But I think their defense is definitely strong,
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: and I would argue the stronger unit on that team
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: right now. And so for the forty nine ers to
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: be up by quite a bit at this point. Is
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: pretty surprising and maybe a little telling about where the
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: Jets are as a team and where the Niners are
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: as a team Week one.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: Absolutely so, And as as we say this, it looks
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: like that interception might have been called back on a
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: defensive penalty here maybe, although I don't know what I'm
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: talking about Aaron Rodgers, so I don't know. Anyways, Yeah,
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: I totally agree with you.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: To be fair, we're not listening to the audio of
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: the game. We're just literally it's on a separate screen
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: and we're watching trying.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: To We're reacting on a podcast that is pre recording
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: everybody is gonna listen to like two days from now.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: To be fair, I do that all the time, listen
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: to podcasts that are reacting to something live. Anyways, my
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: key for the Vikings victory, I think he got a
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: great one. Hard to argue against that. You mentioned Ben
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: Leeber earlier. I listened to him. He was on kfa's
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: Power Trip morning show this morning. I think he is
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: every Monday, but he talked about the Giants game and
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: how Sam Darnold looked not great, but also like specifically
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: Donald was not accurate. Ben Leeber said there were three, four, five,
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: six plays that if Donald threw a more accurate pass
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: and it wouldn't have to be like some highlight reel pass,
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: just a pass that didn't go in the dirt, that
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: game very well could have ended differently. So my key
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: for the Vikings to be able to defend against the
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: Niners is the cornerbacks and the defensive backs. Yeah, Harrison
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: Smith had an interception in the end zone, but that
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: was after a long drive for the Giants Van Ginkel
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: he read a play correctly, they did their work in
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: the film room, and he picked off a screen or
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: a quick pass for a touchdown. But the Vikings, as
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: we know their cornerback room specifically, it's Stefan Gilmore and
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: then maybe Byron Murphy and then after that, Like, yeah,
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: there are names, but there's no Pro bowlers, there's no
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: elite defense right there. Those cornerbacks need to be able
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: to step it up and hold it against Brock Purdy
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: and the weapons that you were talking about earlier, Samuel
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: and maybe McCaffrey, all those offensive weapons.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, And I think that position group specifically
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: was a pretty quiet position group. The corner back room, specifically,
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: not necessarily the safeties. Harrison Smith played a really good game,
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: as he always does, but yeah, I thought the cornerbacks
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: were pretty quiet against the Giants, and I agree with
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: you that, Yeah, they've got to step up and they've
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: got to be able to defend. You got a lot
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: of talent on that Niners offense. You've got Brandon I,
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: you got Deebo Samo, you have Christian McCaffrey that can
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: torch you from the backfield. But he can also line
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: up in the slot and catch balls and go nuts.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: So if he's healthy and he's out there, I mean,
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: those guys have to be ready to defend anything. Absolutely,
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: I could not disagree at all with what you've said.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: So I guess final thoughts. Yes, we made our picks
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: weeks ago and we're going to stick by those. But
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: final thoughts right now, if you hadn't made a prediction,
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: you have to make one right now. What do you think.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: I think it's close. I think it's close. I think
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: the Vikings still lose. I said that earlier. I'll stand
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: by it. I think it's a nail bier. I think
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: it comes down to the wire. I think we're going
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: to be sweating bullets at the podcast towards. I kind
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: of hope not, because I'd rather be like focused on
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: what we're trying to do there. But you know what
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: it'll be, what it'll be, And yeah, final score prediction though,
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: I'll say it's probably going to be like a twenty
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: eight to twenty four kind of thing. I think the
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: Vikings might end up with the ball at the end
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: and have a chance to put it away, and they
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: just they can't, all right. And my reasoning would be,
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know that Sam Darnold has really been in
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: those positions where he's the last one with the ball.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: He's got to march down, he's got to do the
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: two minute drill and score six, not three, but six.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: It's twenty four to twenty eight. They can't get it done.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: That's the final score. Yeah, and we're gonna be like,
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: oh man, I'm so close.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I tend to agree with everything you just said. Genuinely,
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: it's hard for me to pick a win against the Niners,
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: especially after still holding on to all the media throughout
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: the offseason saying the Vikings aren't gonna do much and
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: the Niners they're coming off a Super Bowl appearance, and
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: they've been to a few Super Bowls recently and the
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: core of their team is still there. Some of them
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: just got big lucrative contracts. Again, I looked it up,
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: and this is gonna taint my prediction here. Yeah, we
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: did previously predict both of us. Did the Vikings to
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: lose this game. I'm still gonna say they lose. I
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: still think the Niners are the better team and are
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: going to figure that out. Currently, it looks like the
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: Niners are a five and a half point favorite of
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: the Vikings. Yeah, I think would you say twenty four
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: to twenty eight. That's that's a darn good line right there.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna agree with that exact prediction twenty
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: four to twenty eight Niners, although I think it might
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: be one of those the Niners go up pretty big,
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: pretty early, and then the Vikings try to figure things out,
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: but ultimately mount to comeback but fall just short.
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hopefully that's not the case, but that's just kind
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: of my realistic expectation. Honestly, the Niners don't look like
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: a super polished offensive juggernaut right now like they have
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: in the past. Just the little bits and pieces that
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: we've kind of seen from them tonight, but they're still
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: a formidable opponent. If Christian mccaffery's back next week, I
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: think that nearly solidifies it. I think it will be
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: the Niners that claim the victory. Even though it will
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: be at US Bank Stadium, Vikings fans will be out
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: in full force. It's week one. They're ready, and I think,
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: especially after a week one victory in New York.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: A decided victory too.
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think people are ready to get back in
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: that building and make it loud and get back to
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: Vikings football.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: I wish I could be there. It'd be a lot
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: of fun.
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we should try our hardest. I'm going to the
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: Vikings Lions game in Minnesota in October. We should try
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: our hardest to try to figure out get into a game,
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: you know, it's just you and me sometime this season.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: Hopefully we can't because tickets are so pricey, because the
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: Vikings are so good, but let's try. Let's try.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: It's definitely on the list of things to do for sure.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: Any final thoughts, either reflecting on Week one or looking
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: ahead at week two, do we cover it all?
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: I think we said everything and Honestly, I would just
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: encourage our people to go watch that video or listen
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: to that podcast our initial action to the Giants game,
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: because you'll hear some happy voices in that too.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: So and like I said, we're going to try to
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: do that after every game. We're also going to try
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: to live stream some games. So if you've been watching
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: Slash listening to us on YouTube, make sure you hit
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: that subscribe button, because we're going to try to go
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: live kind of like a la Tom Grassy style, just
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: kind of hanging out probably here in the Schoolman Center.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: We'll have the game up on the big screen behind
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: us here and we'll just hit record and we'll see
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: what happens.
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: And I'll say skull six times in a row after
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: an I and Pace interception. I think I think JK
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: still says his ears are hurting from me yelling school
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: so many times.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: Well, we've got a few of those games on the schedule,
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: and yeah, we're excited to do that too. But yeah,
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: we're excited for some football to be back and some
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: more content to make. And it's just a good it's
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: a good season, like feeling good. Fall is here. I'm
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: ready for it. I'm ready for these fall beers. I'm
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: ready for more football. You said high school football. I
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: think I'm gonna try to get to my first high
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: school football game this weekend.
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: I'm also going to my first college football game of
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: the season this weekend, So it's gonna be it's gonna
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: be a good week.
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: Maybe we'll have to figure out maybe I can go
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: to that high school game too.
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know somebody who can get you in.
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: Well we'll talk, all right, man. You mentioned YouTube. Where
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: else can people find us?
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: You do a phenomenal job of tweeting on Twitter. I
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: refuse to call it X sorry, Elon Musk. It will
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: just always be Twitter to me. But you're just a
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: really great voice on Twitter. You've done a great job.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: So I would encourage people to follow us there. I'm
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: not the one that posts anything there, so that's all you.
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: We're pushing three hundred followers, so we're still young, we're
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: still getting there. But and I've been doing a really
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: good job of trying to sift through our followers and
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: booting out those obvious bots that aren't real people. So
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: I have a pretty good feeling most of our followers
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: are actual, real people and actually see our stuff. So
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: we'd love to get to three hundred followers on Twitter.
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: That'd be really cool, maybe even by the game next week.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: We're also on TikTok. Yeah, we've generated a little bit
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: of a following over there with your injury videos, yeah,
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: which has been kind of fun. So I guess it's
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: possible if you found us, maybe you found us through
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: a clip of ours on TikTok. We kind of post
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: out the segments over there. But also if you're like
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: me and you're one of the sick people that hears
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: about somebody having a gruesome knee injury and you immediately
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: go to the Internet like, oh, John Smith knee injury,
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: And I mean occasionally I find those and I post
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: them up and give some quick commentary on those.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: So those are our most popular videos. But yeah, TikTok, Instagram.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: Instagram, Facebook, yep, we're on both of those as well.
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: We have a website that we try to keep up
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: to date, the schoolhop dot com. Yeah, so really just

  Speaker 1: Iowa Podcast Awards dot Com backslash vote. You got to
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: scroll down to the bottom of the list because we

  Speaker 1: start with a T, so alphabetically we're near the bottom.

  Speaker 1: But we hope we're at the top of your hearts.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: We hope that you'll give us a vote. And yeah, again,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: we're walking into this with managed expectations, but we're just
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: excited to be a part of it. We're excited to
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: rub shoulders with some other content creators across the state
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: Iowa and get to showcase what we do. And so
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: next week when you watch our episode, we won't be here,
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: we won't be in these seats. We don't really know
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: what to expect. It'll be different, for sure, but we're excited.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: We're excited to learn from some people that do probably
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: some more podcasting than we do. And yeah, I think
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: excited is just kind of the overarching sentiment for the
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: Podcast Awards next week, so absolutely definitely be on the
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: lookout for that. So you just poured another beer, which
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: means you must think it's pretty good.
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: It's really good. Yeah, definitely not my wheelhouse of beers,
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: but darn it, it's I mean, it might be my
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: favorite sour of all time, and I've had a couple
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: that I've liked. Yeah, this is again. If you want
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: to know what it tastes like, just imagine a liquid
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: version of the caramel Apple Sucker and you hit the
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: nail on the head, toppling Goliath. I shouldn't be surprised.
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: I'm not surprised. All of their stuff is really good.
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: I love it, and I'm very excited to have most
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: of a full glass left.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: What about it, you f Yeah, I knew that I
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: liked it coming into this because of my brother in
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: law and sister in law who brought it over for
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: Labor Day. So again shout out to them for turning
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: me onto this. A fun fact, I when I went
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: to pick this one up actually didn't go to our
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: favorite high V. I went to the other Highvey oh Man,
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: but they still had this at that high ve. They
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: also had lemon pie Meringue Fandango from Toppling Gali.
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: And after trying this, now I want to try that one.
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: Otherwise I would never would have touched it. But it
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: is my deal. I love lemon flavor though I.
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: Didn't know that, so that might have to make an
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: appearance too. We might need the Big Top to step in.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: Just kidding, just kidding, big time, thank you. But I
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: think this Fandango is a series of beers that they've
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: put out, and I think it's it's their sour series,
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: but I think it's kind of there, like hyped up,
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: like really big flavorful, in your face, off the wall sours.
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: And I'm on board. I guess this is the gateway
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: drug to the to the fan Dango series for me.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: Top and Gli. Thank you so much for making this.
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: We're still looking for an official beer sponsor of the school.
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: Hope maybe you want to be that one. I don't know,
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: not a sponsor yet, but either way, we'll still enjoy
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: your stuff. We always have the Pseudos, who still might
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: be my favorite beer of all time. Yeah, I think
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: we both love it, and I don't know if there's
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: anything else we can say about it.
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: The best part about it, other than the fact that
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: it doesn't get stuck on your teeth, is the fact
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: that it was brewed in Iowa, and that's just something
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: that will always be a staple here at the School
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: Hop for as long as we can sustain that. You
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: found a new brewery last week too, which was cool
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: Keg Creek.
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: That'll definitely make an appearance in the future episodes.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: So yeah, we might be bringing some more Kegg Creek
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: on here pretty soon. But good stuff. We love Iowa beer,
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: We love talking about the Vikings. This was fun because
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: we got to talk about a Vikings when and next
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: week's going to be fun no matter what, because we're
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: going to be in a new place with some new
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: people and we get to do what we love and
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: enjoy some beer and talk about the Vikings.
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well until that episode, I will say this has
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: been a great episode and potentially the best episode. Yeah,
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: could be all right, man.
• 56:26
