Transcript
- 0:21Speaker 1: All right, Hey school hobbers, Welcome into another episode of
- 0:25Speaker 1: the I'm Evan.
- 0:26Speaker 2: And I'm Austin.
- 0:27Speaker 1: We're just a couple of dudes from Iowa. We like
- 0:29Speaker 1: drinking beer and talking about our favorite football team. We
- 0:33Speaker 1: can't mention because they just won. Yeah, and we made
- 0:38Speaker 1: a spin on the Wheel of Purple Punishments on our
- 0:41Speaker 1: last episode, and the item that came up on the
- 0:44Speaker 1: wheel was that if the Vikings were to win.
- 0:48Speaker 2: Just so, I'll finish that. I'll finish that thought if
- 0:53Speaker 2: our favorite NFC North team beat the forty nine ers.
- 0:58Speaker 2: Because our preseason picks for both of us were that
- 1:00Speaker 2: the NFC North team in question, we're going to lose
- 1:04Speaker 2: to the Niners. They did not. They beat the forty
- 1:06Speaker 2: nine ers surprisingly, and our punishment was if they beat
- 1:10Speaker 2: the forty nine ers, we were wrong in our pick,
- 1:12Speaker 2: and the punishment is that we would have to do
- 1:14Speaker 2: ten push ups if we said their name. I'm not
- 1:18Speaker 2: in push up form. I am not wanting to do
- 1:21Speaker 2: push ups, so I will avoid the V word as
- 1:24Speaker 2: heavily as possible. Evan, you already paid up on your.
- 1:27Speaker 1: First If I were to put money on who was
- 1:30Speaker 1: going to do it first, I would have put it
- 1:31Speaker 1: on you.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Me too, I would have won that bet.
- 1:35Speaker 1: It's all good. I got the ten in so hopefully
- 1:38Speaker 1: that's it and it's probably not.
- 1:40Speaker 2: Yeah, it's also sweet because it probably kind of broke
- 1:43Speaker 2: up some nerves. You might be noticing. We've been hyping
- 1:46Speaker 2: it up for a while. We are in a new
- 1:48Speaker 2: studio right now. Where are we at of.
- 1:49Speaker 1: We are at the IOWA Podcast Awards. We got the
- 1:52Speaker 1: awesome opportunity to record live here in the three o'clock slot,
- 1:57Speaker 1: So yeah, we're doing it. And the game The Game
- 2:02Speaker 1: Man just finished minutes ago, so we got to see,
- 2:07Speaker 1: of course, a victory from our favorite team, which was fun,
- 2:12Speaker 1: and we'll get to talk about that, and it'll be
- 2:13Speaker 1: a challenge to talk about that without mentioning them by name.
- 2:17Speaker 2: I'm going to slip up so many times.
- 2:19Speaker 1: But before we do that, we should probably pay the
- 2:21Speaker 1: bills really quick. So we'll give a quick shout out
- 2:24Speaker 1: to Big Top Ventures. There are featured sponsor, Austin's got
- 2:27Speaker 1: the shirt on. They can get you the best possible

- 2:50Speaker 2: exciting news. We had beer provided for us for today.
- 2:54Speaker 1: Yeah, we did.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Where's it from?
- 2:56Speaker 1: Ev It's from one of our favorite local brew five
- 3:01Speaker 1: cities out of Bettendorf, Iowa, and they got us one
- 3:05Speaker 1: of my favorites. Yeah, you got to talk about it.
- 3:08Speaker 2: Oh man, I haven't had this one yet. It is
- 3:10Speaker 2: it's Amber season. It's the crushing on Amber. They got
- 3:13Speaker 2: some really cool kN art here. I don't think I've
- 3:16Speaker 2: had this one. There's always a possibility if we've had
- 3:18Speaker 2: it together at the brewery. I don't remember having it,
- 3:21Speaker 2: which might be a testament to how good this beer is.
- 3:24Speaker 2: I'm really excited about it. I think we should just
- 3:26Speaker 2: crack it open, give it a quick review.
- 3:29Speaker 1: This is like my go to Oh when I'm there
- 3:32Speaker 1: and there are bartenders that work there that know me
- 3:34Speaker 1: and know when I walk in, They're like, you want
- 3:36Speaker 1: the Amber? Yep, that's what I want?
- 3:38Speaker 2: Well real quick.
- 3:39Speaker 1: Definitely had it Yeah, it's wonderful.
- 3:41Speaker 2: Big thanks to Cheyenne at Five Cities for providing the
- 3:44Speaker 2: beer for us today. And oh man, oh, this is
- 3:47Speaker 2: terrifying school. All right, we got some equipment here. We
- 3:50Speaker 2: don't want to ruin.
- 3:51Speaker 1: It is not our equipment, not to spill beer on
- 3:53Speaker 1: the equipment, all right.
- 3:56Speaker 2: Man. Yeah, that's a good amber. That's a solid amber.
- 4:00Speaker 2: If you like ambers, you would like this one. Yeah.
- 4:03Speaker 2: That's that's all I can say about it. Evan, what
- 4:05Speaker 2: do you think about it?
- 4:06Speaker 1: It's just as good as it always is. It's perfect
- 4:09Speaker 1: yep in every way, which is why I ordered it
- 4:11Speaker 1: every time.
- 4:11Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're coming up on Octoberfest season two. We're
- 4:14Speaker 2: kind of there too, so keep an eye out. Usually
- 4:17Speaker 2: October for the school hop tends to be an Octoberfest month,
- 4:20Speaker 2: so I'm looking forward to.
- 4:22Speaker 1: That too me as well.
- 4:24Speaker 2: All Right, we did we did the intro. You already
- 4:27Speaker 2: paid up for one of your purple punishments. Hopefully we
- 4:30Speaker 2: don't have any more because we just can't say the
- 4:32Speaker 2: name of our favorite team this episode, but we can
- 4:35Speaker 2: talk about our favorite team.
- 4:36Speaker 1: What do you thin?
- 4:37Speaker 2: What are your initial just quick reactions to that? Niners
- 4:41Speaker 2: NFC North team game.
- 4:42Speaker 1: Well, first of all, I think any fan of our
- 4:46Speaker 1: favorite team would be surprised that they won.
- 4:50Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 4:50Speaker 1: In fact, we both picked them to lose this game.
- 4:53Speaker 1: Granted that was a few months ago. It was before
- 4:56Speaker 1: even final rosters were set and stuff, so it was
- 5:00Speaker 1: kind of a like a toss up like could they win,
- 5:03Speaker 1: Well maybe, but more than likely they won't. And they
- 5:07Speaker 1: looked good today.
- 5:09Speaker 2: They looked really good. A lot of people were kind
- 5:11Speaker 2: of discounting that win against the Giants last week because
- 5:15Speaker 2: it's the Giants and Daniel Jones is terrible, and the
- 5:18Speaker 2: NFC North team in question probably are just you know,
- 5:21Speaker 2: taking advantage of a terrible team. But the Niners last
- 5:24Speaker 2: week in primetime against Aaron Rodgers looked pretty darn good. Yeah,
- 5:29Speaker 2: and our favorite team in Minnesota, they got the job done.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Well, this is now I think like this goes back
- 5:36Speaker 1: thirty some years that the Niners haven't won in Minneapolis.
- 5:41Speaker 1: So that's pretty outstanding as well. Right that the line, Oh,
- 5:48Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm all over the place. I'm trying not to.
- 5:50Speaker 1: It's really hard, but we'll make it. We'll survive. My
- 5:53Speaker 1: heart rate is still slightly elevated from the push from
- 5:58Speaker 1: with some beer that all even out a little bit.
- 6:01Speaker 2: All right, Well, I guess let's just dive into it. Offense, defense,
- 6:04Speaker 2: special teams. Which member of each of those groups gets
- 6:08Speaker 2: your game ball for this game?
- 6:09Speaker 1: Gosh, I'm gonna start with defense, okay, because this name
- 6:16Speaker 1: just it's a name that I talked about last week
- 6:18Speaker 1: after week one, and it's another name that just stood
- 6:21Speaker 1: out to me this week. I think he's a dark
- 6:24Speaker 1: horse kind of candidate on the defensive side of the ball.
- 6:28Speaker 1: He's not the like, big, flashy star player, but Pat Jones. Yeah, man,
- 6:33Speaker 1: that guy has looked really good. He's he's getting through,
- 6:36Speaker 1: he's getting back to the quarterback, and he had what
- 6:38Speaker 1: two sacks today?
- 6:39Speaker 2: Yeah, something like that. He's been a game wrecord this
- 6:41Speaker 2: last the first two games of the season.
- 6:44Speaker 1: I'm here for it. Huge. Yeah. So on the defensive
- 6:47Speaker 1: side of the ball, Pat Jones gets a game ball
- 6:49Speaker 1: from me for sure.
- 6:50Speaker 2: Which is crazy too, because we were talking just a
- 6:52Speaker 2: few weeks ago he might not make the team. Yeah,
- 6:54Speaker 2: Like he was in one of the most crowded roster
- 6:58Speaker 2: areas for our favorite Minnesota team and we thought he
- 7:03Speaker 2: might not even make it because he hasn't really done
- 7:04Speaker 2: much in his career, but yeah, two games in, seems
- 7:08Speaker 2: like he's a game wrecker. If you didn't follow the
- 7:12Speaker 2: Minnesota team and you just kind of looked at stats,
- 7:14Speaker 2: you'd think, oh, yeah, that guy's got to be one
- 7:15Speaker 2: of their one of their better players. But traditionally, no,
- 7:19Speaker 2: he's just kind of breaking out and it's awesome. Something clicked.
- 7:22Speaker 2: Something has clicked in his Flores defense scheme. He's doing good,
- 7:27Speaker 2: and I agree, I think that's a good pick for
- 7:29Speaker 2: game Ball.
- 7:29Speaker 1: Five total tackles, two solo tackles in two sacks.
- 7:32Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy and at good times too. And he
- 7:35Speaker 2: just seemed to always be there. He definitely made that
- 7:38Speaker 2: offensive line rethink there are skills and abilities today my
- 7:42Speaker 2: defensive game Ball, I'm going with Josh Mnatellis. He was
- 7:46Speaker 2: just everywhere today. He plays plays a bunch of positions.
- 7:50Speaker 2: He got an interception today, he almost I think had
- 7:52Speaker 2: another one. He just looks good. I don't know what
- 7:55Speaker 2: his stat line looks like or even what his PFF
- 7:58Speaker 2: grade might end up being, but it just felt like
- 8:00Speaker 2: he was a game wrecord too. The whole defense did good,
- 8:04Speaker 2: but Jones and Mattelis, they both they were shining lights.
- 8:08Speaker 2: In the defense today.
- 8:09Speaker 1: Yes, agreed. Offensively, I would go with It's kind of
- 8:17Speaker 1: a toss up, but I'm gonna go with Justin Jefferson.
- 8:20Speaker 1: It's a little bittersweet because we did watch him walk
- 8:23Speaker 1: out of the game, go back to the locker room.
- 8:25Speaker 1: He wasn't carted off, which was encouraging, but left the
- 8:29Speaker 1: game in the third quarter with an alleged quad injury,
- 8:33Speaker 1: which is.
- 8:33Speaker 2: Yeah, that's scary, kind of.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Concerning considering the hamstring injury that kept him out of
- 8:38Speaker 1: what six games last year.
- 8:40Speaker 2: Yeah, that was kind of a season w record for
- 8:42Speaker 2: him last year.
- 8:43Speaker 1: Yeah, so definitely not ideal. But before that transpired, he
- 8:49Speaker 1: had that beautiful ninety seven yard catch for a touchdown
- 8:54Speaker 1: and an honorable mention to Sam Darnold for throwing that
- 8:57Speaker 1: ball to him. But Justin Jefferson is the one that
- 9:00Speaker 1: tracked it down, caught it and then out ran two defenders.
- 9:03Speaker 1: Oh yeah, taking that angle, making that little back cut
- 9:06Speaker 1: to to get himself into the end zone. It was
- 9:09Speaker 1: awesome to watch.
- 9:10Speaker 2: And if you find the right replay of that long
- 9:13Speaker 2: touchdown catch, the angle that shows just Justin Jefferson's face.
- 9:18Speaker 2: He takes that like last you know, big field turning
- 9:21Speaker 2: juke and he kind of looks back and he's kind
- 9:23Speaker 2: of like smiling. You could tell he was the kid
- 9:25Speaker 2: on the playground that was faster than everybody else. Again,
- 9:28Speaker 2: that was probably the play of the game. That's definitely
- 9:31Speaker 2: a really good offensive game ball for you, But like
- 9:34Speaker 2: you said, for the Purple team, my offensive game ball
- 9:37Speaker 2: has got to go to Sam Darnald and for me
- 9:40Speaker 2: until Donald looks awful. If he keeps having just decent
- 9:45Speaker 2: games like this, he's gonna be my offensive MVP. He
- 9:49Speaker 2: threw an interception at one point in the game. The
- 9:51Speaker 2: next drive, the next offensive play was a pass that
- 9:54Speaker 2: he threw and completed downfield. That's always something to note
- 9:57Speaker 2: anytime a quarterback throws an interception and then and they
- 10:00Speaker 2: get the opportunity on their very next play. That just
- 10:03Speaker 2: shows confidence from the coach, kind of knocks that play
- 10:07Speaker 2: out of his mind a little bit, and he excelled
- 10:09Speaker 2: in that today. I think, what did he have? Just
- 10:12Speaker 2: the one interception, couple touchdown passes, that obvious, huge ninety
- 10:16Speaker 2: seven yard touchdown pass to JJ Sam Donald. He's my
- 10:20Speaker 2: offensive MVP for the day, and I'm ready to keep
- 10:24Speaker 2: watching him make people disbelieve how good he's been doing
- 10:27Speaker 2: for the Vikings.
- 10:28Speaker 1: Since we oh yeah, there you go, all right, while
- 10:33Speaker 1: you do your pushups, I'll read Sam Donald's stat line
- 10:37Speaker 1: really quick. He was seventeen to twenty six for two
- 10:39Speaker 1: hundred and sixty eight yards, two touchdowns and interception. He
- 10:42Speaker 1: did take three sacks and lost ten yards on those.
- 10:45Speaker 1: His final rating was a one oh nine point one.
- 10:50Speaker 1: So kind of like you were saying, if Sam Donald
- 10:54Speaker 1: can keep playing to that level, if he can keep
- 10:57Speaker 1: He's not playing MVP level quarterback. He's not doing the
- 11:01Speaker 1: qt Pat mahomes behind the back or the shovel pass
- 11:05Speaker 1: or whatever. We're not getting cute with the flea flickers
- 11:07Speaker 1: or anything like that. It's just managing the game, handing
- 11:10Speaker 1: the ball off when needed, getting the ball out. We
- 11:14Speaker 1: saw a lot of those quick screen passes early on
- 11:16Speaker 1: in the game from the Purple team that sometimes frustrate us,
- 11:22Speaker 1: but he seemed to he seemed to be locked into
- 11:25Speaker 1: what the game plan was for the most part. There
- 11:28Speaker 1: were a few plays that fell apart. There was that
- 11:30Speaker 1: one really ugly play, where like there were a few
- 11:36Speaker 1: ugly plays, but there was one specifically that stands out
- 11:39Speaker 1: to me. Where he dropped back and he kind of
- 11:42Speaker 1: got like tumbled over and I think he nearly lost
- 11:45Speaker 1: the ball and then they lost like fifteen yards or
- 11:48Speaker 1: something on the sack or something like that, which was
- 11:50Speaker 1: kind of crazy. But anyways, all in all impressed with
- 11:56Speaker 1: Sam Darnold.
- 11:57Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I really hope I don't say that name
- 11:59Speaker 2: again because I'm still out of breath a little bit.
- 12:02Speaker 2: I had the microphone away from me. You're gonna hear
- 12:04Speaker 2: my heavy breathing. So we've done offense, we've done defense.
- 12:08Speaker 2: What about special teams? Who gets your game ball?
- 12:10Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna take the one that I think you
- 12:12Speaker 1: were probably gonna take and make you mad a little bit.
- 12:15Speaker 1: But CJ. Ham and we talked about this while we
- 12:18Speaker 1: were watching it as it happened. He has fully redeemed
- 12:22Speaker 1: himself from the fumble early in week one. He fumbled
- 12:28Speaker 1: early like what was it, first quarter week as like
- 12:31Speaker 1: the first drive. Yeah, and that was really frustrating, especially
- 12:35Speaker 1: for a guy that's been so steady and doesn't typically
- 12:39Speaker 1: turn the ball over so to block the punt that
- 12:43Speaker 1: he blocked today. And we said this too while we
- 12:47Speaker 1: were watching it, like he'd probably redeemed himself pretty well
- 12:50Speaker 1: in all of the different things that he does, run, blocking,
- 12:53Speaker 1: pass blocking, special teams, whatever. But that solidified it. That
- 12:57Speaker 1: blocked punt was like, Yep, he's back, he's good and
- 13:01Speaker 1: we're glad to have c. J. Ham on the team.
- 13:03Speaker 2: Yeah, he's back in the good graces of everybody, not
- 13:06Speaker 2: just his teammates, who know how good of a player
- 13:08Speaker 2: he is. Outside of that fumble, yeah, you stole mine.
- 13:11Speaker 2: That was that was gonna be my special Team's game ball.
- 13:13Speaker 2: But I think the only other obvious one for the
- 13:16Speaker 2: Purple team is Will Record. He made his first career
- 13:20Speaker 2: NFL field goal today, uh and his second. I think
- 13:23Speaker 2: he only had two today. He's perfect. He hasn't missed
- 13:26Speaker 2: a kick yet. There's no wood that I can see
- 13:30Speaker 2: on this beautiful set, but knock on wood, Will Record?
- 13:34Speaker 2: Have we figured out a nickname for him yet?
- 13:37Speaker 1: Will the Thrill or what will the thrill? O?
- 13:39Speaker 2: What's what was the Joshua tellis TikTok that came out
- 13:43Speaker 2: this week where he was asking.
- 13:44Speaker 1: About what was everybody's producer?
- 13:46Speaker 2: Yes, and he like wrapped it almost what was he saying?
- 13:49Speaker 2: Will the Thrill is coming?
- 13:50Speaker 1: Yeah? Will the Thrill's coming? That's what it was. Yeah,
- 13:53Speaker 1: so yeah, he liked that for sure. Yeah, he's my
- 13:55Speaker 1: special team's game ball today. Uh, the less we have
- 13:58Speaker 1: to worry about a team kicker, the better this team
- 14:02Speaker 1: will be. Because we've had some some issues in our
- 14:06Speaker 1: fandom of kickers on our favorite team that have broken
- 14:10Speaker 1: our hearts. Yes, yes, it's not been pretty, but it's
- 14:13Speaker 1: nice to know that we've got a pretty consistent kicker
- 14:16Speaker 1: so far.
- 14:17Speaker 2: So far, so far. They always say, don't draft kickers,
- 14:20Speaker 2: but I mean, if he's the right one, you know,
- 14:22Speaker 2: you gotta take them.
- 14:23Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, what about highs and lows or to put
- 14:27Speaker 1: it differently, because we use that term a lot. Something
- 14:29Speaker 1: that I've been using with my daughters at home and
- 14:31Speaker 1: they like to do this at dinner as we talk
- 14:33Speaker 1: about roses and thorns.
- 14:35Speaker 2: Oh okay, so it's very artistic.
- 14:38Speaker 1: Yeah, what are your roses and thorns? From the vit
- 14:41Speaker 1: Oh that was a close one. Didn't didn't say it.
- 14:45Speaker 2: We did talk. There is gonna be a little bit
- 14:46Speaker 2: of leeway on that.
- 14:47Speaker 1: I have to say it myself. Finish with the from
- 14:51Speaker 1: the game today. From the game today against the Niners.
- 14:56Speaker 1: I think roses and thorns.
- 14:58Speaker 2: I think my and I like that because a rose
- 15:01Speaker 2: can really just be like a general idea too. It
- 15:03Speaker 2: doesn't have to be one play. I think if it
- 15:06Speaker 2: if it was one play, I think we'd both pick
- 15:08Speaker 2: that ninety seven yard historical like cool, I'm not doing
- 15:14Speaker 2: this on purpose. I really don't want to do push
- 15:17Speaker 2: ups again, but yeah, that historically long play. For the
- 15:21Speaker 2: Minnesota team, that would be the pick other than the
- 15:27Speaker 2: block punt. But for me, again I said it last week,
- 15:30Speaker 2: there was no superman. We didn't have the Justin Jefferson
- 15:35Speaker 2: who got five hundred receiving yards and made the you know,
- 15:39Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills type catch on fourth and eighteen, Like, we
- 15:42Speaker 2: didn't need that crazy performance. So my rose would be
- 15:47Speaker 2: that this was an overall team win without any huge
- 15:51Speaker 2: main superman on offense, defense, or special teams. What about you?
- 15:55Speaker 1: What's your rose therev A rose for me would be
- 15:59Speaker 1: a lot of the defensive stops, especially in the first half.
- 16:02Speaker 1: It seemed like defensively they had the Niners figured out.
- 16:06Speaker 1: It seemed like Brian Flores had this defense watching film
- 16:10Speaker 1: all week. They were ready, they were prepared, they knew
- 16:13Speaker 1: what the Niners were gonna throw at him. The Niners
- 16:15Speaker 1: were still able to advance the ball quite a bit.
- 16:18Speaker 1: And of course you're gonna find George Kittle over the middle,
- 16:22Speaker 1: You're gonna find Brandon Ayuk, you're gonna find Deebo Samuel,
- 16:26Speaker 1: even that running back I don't even remember his name.
- 16:29Speaker 2: But Jordan Masons.
- 16:31Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a bruiser for sure. But they still made plays.
- 16:35Speaker 1: They still moved to the ball pretty effectively. But there
- 16:37Speaker 1: were some key moments where that Vikings defense do them
- 16:40Speaker 1: do them?
- 16:41Speaker 2: But to finish your thought, yeah, that Purple team defense,
- 16:44Speaker 2: they they held. Maybe they as a defense were the
- 16:47Speaker 2: superman because in the first half, the Niners run game
- 16:52Speaker 2: seemed to be able to do whatever they wanted to do.
- 16:54Speaker 2: Jordan Mason made a lot of fantasy football players, in
- 17:00Speaker 2: myself pretty happy this week because he looked really good.
- 17:03Speaker 2: But even with that good rushing performance from him, the
- 17:06Speaker 2: Niners still didn't beat the Purple team. So, yeah, that's
- 17:10Speaker 2: that's a good that's a good rose. I like that
- 17:11Speaker 2: a lot. What about thorn? Do you have a good
- 17:13Speaker 2: thorn for the Purple team?
- 17:15Speaker 1: Oh? Man, I think it's probably a tie between those
- 17:24Speaker 1: sacks that Darnold took and the protection up front or
- 17:31Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson getting injured. Yeah, it's a tie. I think
- 17:37Speaker 1: between those two. For me, it's it's tough to pick one.
- 17:40Speaker 1: If I had to pick one, probably justin Jefferson because
- 17:42Speaker 1: you just don't know what's gonna happen there. But you'd
- 17:45Speaker 1: like to see your offensive line protect for your quarterback
- 17:48Speaker 1: a little bit better and give him time to throw
- 17:51Speaker 1: the ball. And granted, the Niners have some pretty high
- 17:54Speaker 1: powered weapons on that defensive line to come after, namely
- 17:58Speaker 1: Nick Bosa, but it seemed like he was pretty quiet
- 18:01Speaker 1: for the most part. He got in there a few times,
- 18:04Speaker 1: but he.
- 18:04Speaker 2: Also got nicked up too. There was that like horrible
- 18:06Speaker 2: play where it was Jefferson Bosa and I think even
- 18:10Speaker 2: Kittle might have been on that. Yeah, that big, terrible
- 18:13Speaker 2: play that everybody in the world got ed. Yeah, yeah,
- 18:16Speaker 2: that's probably true. I was going to say the offensive
- 18:18Speaker 2: line performance as a whole, the one play I think
- 18:22Speaker 2: you were talking about it earlier where Darnold looked up
- 18:24Speaker 2: and didn't even get to like make a decision and
- 18:26Speaker 2: he had somebody grabbing him immediately. That was just Garrett
- 18:30Speaker 2: Bradbury getting mulled over. And last year Garrett Bradbury after
- 18:34Speaker 2: he had that back injury and came back. He looked
- 18:37Speaker 2: really good. And so far this year, I mean, you
- 18:41Speaker 2: got Dexter Lawrence last week with the Giants, who's a
- 18:44Speaker 2: game breaker, and then this week the Niners defense as
- 18:47Speaker 2: a hole is pretty awesome. So it's a tough ask
- 18:50Speaker 2: for the Vikings offensive line. But if you're going to
- 18:52Speaker 2: do anything, you have to start, I said, Vikings again,
- 18:55Speaker 2: didn't I all right? Finished my thoughts?
- 18:58Speaker 1: You did, Honestly, I was just kind of looking ahead
- 19:03Speaker 1: at what's next for the Vikings. Dang it, this was
- 19:09Speaker 1: a terrible idea. Why don't Why don't you take it
- 19:14Speaker 1: from here and finish your thought?
- 19:15Speaker 2: All right?
- 19:16Speaker 1: So what's next?
- 19:17Speaker 2: So this next week after Sunday Night Football, the Bears
- 19:23Speaker 2: and the Texans play each other tonight on Sunday Night Football.
- 19:26Speaker 2: But next week the Purple team hosts. Right, it's a
- 19:29Speaker 2: home team for Minnesota, they host the Texans.
- 19:33Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so, Oh.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Man, we're I'm definitely still breathing heavy. I can see
- 19:38Speaker 2: it in your face too. This is I think I got,
- 19:43Speaker 2: and I've done it twice. I don't. I don't even
- 19:44Speaker 2: think we'll have to run the tape back. I don't
- 19:46Speaker 2: think I did all ten on my last one, and
- 19:49Speaker 2: please please be kind. I don't have the form that
- 19:52Speaker 2: is necessary for perfect push ups. But I guess I
- 19:55Speaker 2: just can't say the Purple team's name again, and I
- 19:57Speaker 2: don't have to worry.
- 19:58Speaker 1: The Purple team is in fact at home, okay, against
- 20:01Speaker 1: the Texans next week.
- 20:03Speaker 2: And that's a big that's a big thing. The Texans
- 20:06Speaker 2: are an up and coming team. I've said the Texans
- 20:09Speaker 2: are a year ahead of where I hope the Vikings
- 20:11Speaker 2: would be.
- 20:14Speaker 1: Finished my thought up, I can't because I'm laughing too
- 20:19Speaker 1: hard and I'm still out of breath from the last time. No,
- 20:24Speaker 1: I agree with you. The Texans are probably a step
- 20:28Speaker 1: ahead of where our favorite team currently is. I don't
- 20:33Speaker 1: know that your face is so the entertainment value. Right,
- 20:42Speaker 1: we're here.
- 20:43Speaker 2: This is why we did punishments.
- 20:45Speaker 1: Okay, it has been a punishment O gosh around thirty
- 20:51Speaker 1: like you, But I think we both we both got
- 20:53Speaker 1: thirty in oh Man, so we'll be a little more
- 20:56Speaker 1: sculpted in our upper body, all right.
- 20:59Speaker 2: Do you think the Purple team has any chance against
- 21:01Speaker 2: the Texans next next week?
- 21:03Speaker 1: I do, especially considering how they've played. The Purple Team
- 21:08Speaker 1: that is how they've played so far through weeks one
- 21:11Speaker 1: and two. It'll be interesting to see how the Texans
- 21:15Speaker 1: play because they played to night against the Bears, right, yep.
- 21:18Speaker 1: So that'll be an interesting Sunday night football game and
- 21:20Speaker 1: one that we'll watch with some interest, both for the
- 21:24Speaker 1: in division rivalry with the Bears and you know, continuing
- 21:29Speaker 1: to watch the progression of Caleb Williams and how all
- 21:33Speaker 1: that stuff is progressing, and then how the Bears are
- 21:36Speaker 1: able to manage c J. Stroud and that offense and
- 21:40Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs and yeah, that guy, he was a thorn.
- 21:46Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be fun to watch. I'm excited. I think
- 21:50Speaker 2: after this Niners win, the Purple team is definitely a
- 21:53Speaker 2: wild card. Now, I mean the predictions where they're going
- 21:56Speaker 2: to get six seven wins, you got to rethink those.
- 22:00Speaker 2: I'm not saying super Bowl, that's that would be crazy
- 22:03Speaker 2: to say after two pretty good games, but still just
- 22:06Speaker 2: two games. But I mean they're they're showing that they're
- 22:10Speaker 2: a team to beat so far.
- 22:12Speaker 1: So looking ahead at the Texans against the Purple team
- 22:15Speaker 1: at home, what are the keys to victory? How is
- 22:20Speaker 1: our favorite team going to overcome the Texans?
- 22:23Speaker 2: Well, I think we kind of said it already. The
- 22:25Speaker 2: offensive line needs to step it up, whether it's changing
- 22:29Speaker 2: personnel in there. Man, I'm still out of breath. I
- 22:34Speaker 2: think we just need to call it what it is.
- 22:36Speaker 2: I'm okay, Yeah, well.
- 22:41Speaker 1: I'll take over and I'll let you catch your breath.
- 22:43Speaker 1: I agree with you offensive line for sure. I think
- 22:47Speaker 1: getting Justin Jefferson healthy is another thing. Yeah, absolutely, yeah,
- 22:51Speaker 1: we need him. That guy is so important to what
- 22:53Speaker 1: we do. Even on there was a Jalen Naylor touchdown
- 22:57Speaker 1: that we watched today and it was such an easy touchdown.
- 23:02Speaker 1: Was it Chaverius Ward that was covering Jalen Naylor? And
- 23:06Speaker 1: it was clear to me watching the replay that Chaverius
- 23:09Speaker 1: Ward got caught looking over at Justin Jefferson. He wasn't
- 23:12Speaker 1: covering Justin Jefferson, but he was looking over there because
- 23:15Speaker 1: he thought the ball was going over there. And that
- 23:16Speaker 1: left Jalen Naylor wide open. Touchdown, Purple Team, and it was.
- 23:20Speaker 2: Awesome, and Sam Darnold threw a perfect pass. I think, yeah,
- 23:26Speaker 2: it was great and we can't forget this whole game.
- 23:29Speaker 2: Jordan Addison wasn't playing. He's still got his ankle. Maybe
- 23:33Speaker 2: he's back next week for the Purple team, that would
- 23:36Speaker 2: be huge, especially if Justin Jefferson's out for any amount
- 23:39Speaker 2: of time.
- 23:39Speaker 1: Yeah, it will be pivotal to get Jordan Adison back
- 23:43Speaker 1: if Justin Jefferson has to miss time. If they're both out,
- 23:47Speaker 1: it's gonna be rough for the Vikings offense. Yeah, dang it.
- 23:52Speaker 2: Oh man, Well, I think this proves the Purple Punishment
- 23:55Speaker 2: segment is going to be a good one for us
- 23:57Speaker 2: this season. I wish we would have thought about the
- 24:00Speaker 2: exact punishment because at this moment, I wish we would
- 24:04Speaker 2: have done a hobby arrow or something that would have
- 24:07Speaker 2: been more embarrassing for me than I would have been
- 24:09Speaker 2: less red in the face if we had eaten a hobbin.
- 24:13Speaker 2: But yeah, it's it's a good segment. I'm excited for it.
- 24:16Speaker 2: I'm here for it.
- 24:17Speaker 1: We'll continue to spin the wheel as long as we
- 24:18Speaker 1: get our picks wrong.
- 24:20Speaker 2: Yeah, which if we're picking a loss and we're wrong
- 24:22Speaker 2: about that, I think we're both pretty happy.
- 24:24Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And we're getting slightly more in shape with.
- 24:28Speaker 2: This whole management. So I don't know, you give me
- 24:32Speaker 2: a lot of credit there, but yeah, I think we've
- 24:35Speaker 2: We've said about all we can snap reactions for the
- 24:38Speaker 2: Purple team on this week, just really quick, are you
- 24:42Speaker 2: ready to rethink your preseason prediction for the Purple Team?
- 24:48Speaker 1: I gotta look back. I'm pretty sure I said eight
- 24:51Speaker 1: and nine. Is that familiar?
- 24:53Speaker 2: I know I said eleven wins.
- 24:56Speaker 1: I remember that because that was surprising because you're typically
- 25:01Speaker 1: the pessimist. You're typically the one that's all doom and
- 25:04Speaker 1: gloom and they just won't they won't make it happen,
- 25:08Speaker 1: and they'll ask the bed to use your term. So
- 25:13Speaker 1: let me go back and look here. I have them
- 25:15Speaker 1: at nine and eight. Okay, so on the right side
- 25:18Speaker 1: of five hundred, which is good but still conservative. Yeah,
- 25:23Speaker 1: for sure. But they're two and zero right now, which
- 25:25Speaker 1: is great. You have them at eleven and six. Yep.
- 25:27Speaker 2: And we both predicted this game wrong. We both thought
- 25:30Speaker 2: they'd be one and one at this point.
- 25:32Speaker 1: Which is why we're both to be push ups.
- 25:34Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, I'm determined not to do another push
- 25:37Speaker 2: up the rest of the day or the rest of
- 25:39Speaker 2: my life. I don't know.
- 25:40Speaker 1: You know what we could do to avoid any further
- 25:42Speaker 1: punishment is we can just talk about beer for the
- 25:44Speaker 1: rest of the episode.
- 25:45Speaker 2: Yeah, we did kind of moll over quickly. This beer
- 25:49Speaker 2: this first time we've ever had beer provided for us
- 25:51Speaker 2: for the podcast, which is really cool. Yeah, unless you
- 25:54Speaker 2: count the skull Hop beer that we made.
- 25:57Speaker 1: We did brew our own beer.
- 25:59Speaker 2: We paid for that. And blood, sweat and tears.
- 26:01Speaker 1: Yea, and like the Health Month, a month's worth of patience.
- 26:05Speaker 2: Yeah, that was fun to watch. If you've never brewed beer,
- 26:08Speaker 2: it's fun to watch it. For Mint and the air
- 26:10Speaker 2: lock just spit out the what CO two is it doing? Yeah?
- 26:14Speaker 1: So I've had a lot of these. This is again
- 26:17Speaker 1: Five Cities Brewing out of Bettendorf, Iowa crushing on Amber.
- 26:21Speaker 1: It's been on their beer list forever, I mean since
- 26:25Speaker 1: I started going there regularly. What are your thoughts on
- 26:28Speaker 1: this beer?
- 26:30Speaker 2: So you're you're the Amber guy. I'm the IPA guy.
- 26:33Speaker 2: But this podcast has really opened my eyes to more beers.
- 26:36Speaker 2: Definitely Ambers. I would say I'm an Amber fan, not
- 26:40Speaker 2: that I ever hated them, but I just always went
- 26:42Speaker 2: for the i PA. Now I will go out of
- 26:43Speaker 2: my way to order an Amber, even sours. I'm working
- 26:47Speaker 2: my way up towards being a sour guy. Last week
- 26:50Speaker 2: with the caramel Apple Fandango was delicious. If you haven't
- 26:54Speaker 2: had that Toppling Goliath Caramel Apple Fandango, go do it.
- 26:58Speaker 2: But that's not this week's beer. If you haven't had
- 27:00Speaker 2: really any Five Cities beers. They're in Bettendorf. I think.
- 27:02Speaker 2: I don't know if they distribute across the state.
- 27:05Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know how widely they're distributed, but I
- 27:07Speaker 1: know we can get them in our local stores.
- 27:09Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, well we live I mean right there. So
- 27:12Speaker 2: but yeah, I've never had a Five Cities brew that
- 27:15Speaker 2: I didn't like. I don't think they put out bad stuff.
- 27:18Speaker 2: Everything they put out is quality, good ingredients. They know
- 27:20Speaker 2: what they're doing. And this amber, I'm just gonna say
- 27:24Speaker 2: it's the first time I've had it because I can't
- 27:25Speaker 2: remember if I've ever had it before. It's just right
- 27:28Speaker 2: up there with it. Yeah, it's a solid amber, doesn't
- 27:31Speaker 2: try to do anything too much, too less. It's just
- 27:34Speaker 2: a solid Five Cities amber.
- 27:35Speaker 1: It's balanced. I like that. And I say this all
- 27:39Speaker 1: the time about beer, but I like beer that doesn't
- 27:41Speaker 1: do too much. Where like the Caramel Apple Fandango is
- 27:44Speaker 1: actually kind of an exception because that was like on
- 27:46Speaker 1: the like extreme end of what we typically have on
- 27:50Speaker 1: an episode, but it was doing too much in all
- 27:52Speaker 1: the right ways.
- 27:53Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just an extravagant beer and it did what
- 27:56Speaker 2: it does well.
- 27:57Speaker 1: And the price tag on that beer is definitely something
- 28:00Speaker 1: to consider.
- 28:00Speaker 2: But like I said last week, Topling Goliath, they have
- 28:03Speaker 2: good ingredients. They put out quality stuff, so you're not
- 28:07Speaker 2: paying a lot for a crappy products. It's well priced
- 28:10Speaker 2: for a solid good product.
- 28:12Speaker 1: Yes, and five Cities. You said it. They make a
- 28:15Speaker 1: great beer. Everything I've tried of theirs has been delicious.
- 28:19Speaker 1: This amber is my go to. It is my regular
- 28:22Speaker 1: I typically don't order anything other than this when I
- 28:25Speaker 1: go there, just because I know I'm gonna like it.
- 28:26Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna enjoy it. I know I can
- 28:28Speaker 1: have a few and be just fine, drive myself home safely,
- 28:31Speaker 1: and that sort of thing.
- 28:32Speaker 2: So it helps when you live like a five minute
- 28:34Speaker 2: by ride from.
- 28:35Speaker 1: The it's not even five. I could walk. I have
- 28:38Speaker 1: walked there before. So while we're here, maybe we should
- 28:43Speaker 1: take a moment to just remind people who we are,
- 28:47Speaker 1: what we do, and where they can find us.
- 28:48Speaker 2: Yeah, so we are the School Hot podcast. We talk
- 28:51Speaker 2: about the Minnesota NFL team, which unfortunately we can't say today,
- 28:55Speaker 2: even though we both said it many times.
- 28:57Speaker 1: Let's pause. We'll be able to say it again yes
- 29:00Speaker 1: week when we record. So that's the good news that.
- 29:02Speaker 2: Is this week's punishment. I don't remember did we predict
- 29:08Speaker 2: our preseason predictions if the Purple team would beat the Texans?
- 29:12Speaker 2: I feel like I might have.
- 29:14Speaker 1: You said that they would lose, oh okay, and I
- 29:18Speaker 1: said they would lose.
- 29:19Speaker 2: Okay. So we have a potential for both of us
- 29:23Speaker 2: doing another Purple punishment next week, which again can be
- 29:27Speaker 2: anything on our list, not just doing ten push ups
- 29:30Speaker 2: for saying the team's name. I'm pulling for a hob
- 29:33Speaker 2: and arrow or something like that.
- 29:36Speaker 1: Will destroy me, but well, you'll be fine.
- 29:39Speaker 2: I'll be fine. But may I think the push ups
- 29:41Speaker 2: probably destroyed me more than you, so we can get
- 29:44Speaker 2: a little little kickback it all even Yeah sure, but yeah,
- 29:49Speaker 2: at this moment, I'm predicting a Purple team win over
- 29:52Speaker 2: the Texans if we didn't already say that a few
- 29:53Speaker 2: minutes ago. So I'm also predicting having to spin the
- 29:57Speaker 2: wheel of purple punishments.
- 29:59Speaker 1: So getting back to my original question, because we sidetracked
- 30:03Speaker 1: for a moment, where can people find us? Where can
- 30:06Speaker 1: they find out more about the school hop.
- 30:09Speaker 2: Yeah. So we have a website theskole Hop dot com.
- 30:12Speaker 2: You can find all of our episodes there. This is
- 30:14Speaker 2: episode fifty eight. We had an unnumbered unofficial episode last
- 30:18Speaker 2: week as a reaction, but they're all on the website.
- 30:21Speaker 2: We have merch through Tea public. We don't really do it,
- 30:24Speaker 2: but if you want one of our awesome shirts that
- 30:26Speaker 2: Evan is sporting right now, you can do that at
- 30:29Speaker 2: our website. We're also on all the socials if you
- 30:31Speaker 2: want to find the whole episode of any podcast or
- 30:34Speaker 2: even segments. We put everything out on YouTube, Spotify, TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, everything.
- 30:41Speaker 2: If you want to find us, just google the Skole
- 30:43Speaker 2: Hop and you'll find everything.
- 30:44Speaker 1: And a fun, little little niche market that we've tapped
- 30:48Speaker 1: into that you've tapped into more than anything is injury videos. Yeah.
- 30:52Speaker 1: So if you're like a glutton for punishment and you
- 30:55Speaker 1: just love watching slow mo footage of professional and collegiate
- 31:00Speaker 1: athletes getting hurt in a quick dissection of what the
- 31:04Speaker 1: injury might be, You've got some good ones on our
- 31:08Speaker 1: TikTok especially.
- 31:09Speaker 2: Yeah, there are some weirdos out there like me that instantly.
- 31:13Speaker 2: If they see two a tongue of Ioloa get injured,
- 31:16Speaker 2: they're gonna go to the internet because they want to
- 31:18Speaker 2: see the replay and see how bad it really is.
- 31:20Speaker 2: And lots of times you can find our TikTok and
- 31:22Speaker 2: we might have a low quality video, but at least
- 31:25Speaker 2: it'll be there and you can see it.
- 31:27Speaker 1: So there you go. Well check us out wherever you
- 31:31Speaker 1: like to get your content. Make sure you like and subscribe.
- 31:34Speaker 1: And it's been fun hanging out here at the Iowa
- 31:37Speaker 1: Podcast Towards.
- 31:38Speaker 2: Yeah, I've had a blast. We got to watch the game.
- 31:40Speaker 2: We met Jeremy over there with Kleve you bye. There's
- 31:43Speaker 2: a lot of other good Iowa podcasts out here, and
- 31:46Speaker 2: it's fun to meet the people and to really realize
- 31:50Speaker 2: how many there are. I think I heard something like
- 31:52Speaker 2: six hundred different Iowa based podcasts, wow, which is kind
- 31:56Speaker 2: of crazy, but it kind of plays into the joke
- 31:59Speaker 2: that you know, everybody and their uncle has a podcast here.
- 32:02Speaker 2: We like ours, we think we do good. It's a
- 32:04Speaker 2: lot better when we don't have to catch our breath
- 32:06Speaker 2: for doing push ups, for saying the Purple team's name.
- 32:09Speaker 2: But yeah, I've had a lot of fun, and I'm
- 32:11Speaker 2: looking forward to seeing how because this is the first
- 32:14Speaker 2: annual IOWA Podcast Awards. Looking forward to seeing how it
- 32:17Speaker 2: goes in the future.
- 32:17Speaker 1: Yeah, hopefully we'll be able to come back and continue
- 32:20Speaker 1: to network with other great podcasts and maybe record another
- 32:23Speaker 1: one like this in a year.
- 32:26Speaker 2: Yeah yeah cool.
- 32:27Speaker 1: Well, I'm excited for a Purple Team win. Hopefully they
- 32:30Speaker 1: can do it again next week, even if it means
- 32:32Speaker 1: that we have to spin the wheel and yeah, suffer
- 32:35Speaker 1: the consequences.
- 32:36Speaker 2: I hope this is our worst punishment and I can't
- 32:38Speaker 2: wait to say the Purple Team's name again. I almost
- 32:41Speaker 2: just mixed it up right there too, so that would
- 32:43Speaker 2: have been terrible. All right. Ev a great episode, great beer,
- 32:47Speaker 2: I guess until next time.
- 32:48Speaker 1: Let's cool. It's cool. Hey Vikings fans. Evan here from
