  Speaker 5: the Bears.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: So it's only appropriate that friend of the show Forrest,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Bears fan.

• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Just remember, I didn't beat the Bears. I know. This
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: might be punishment.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: You had no faith in your team. The Vikings gods
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: look down and there will.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Be a punishment.

  Speaker 2: clean up pretty good you can still see A little
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: bit on the wall there. But only some of it
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: got on the wall. Most of it was on my face. So, Evan,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: you're up next. How are you feeling?
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I feel great.

  Speaker 2: That tastes good. Tastes like a Vikings win. Oh, man. Forrest,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: I will say, if I ever have to get pied
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: in the face again... I hope you're the one to
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: do it because, I mean, well, it's pretty– you did it.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: There's a lot going on. I will say, at least
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: when you did it to me, it's not like I
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: was punched in the face.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: But there was plenty on the face.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: You guys loaded it so much.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: That it, like, flew out of the– That's all on Evan. Well, Evan,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: first purple punishments of the season. Yeah, here's to a
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: great season. All right, Ev. Actually, you know what? That
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: It was pretty fun. I enjoyed it, actually.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: You know who enjoyed it.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I got a little lick around, but I just
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: kind of wanted to get clean right away, so not
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: too much. But I was dreading that one all last season.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: We didn't end up having to pie each other in
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: the face last year. And it's the first one we
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: have this year. So now it's over with. Now hopefully
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: the next thing is like eat something spicy or something
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Are you saying you're going to lose again?
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: You know, well, the thing is we lost this time,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: but only because the Vikings won. So that could happen again.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: But you've picked, both of you have picked the win
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: in week one and the loss in week two.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but then in coming weeks we start splitting up
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: actually quite a bit.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we do kind of go in different directions for
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a while, so it'll be interesting. We'll cover that at
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the end of the episode.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, got it.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Well, guess what time it is now, boys?
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Beer time.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Beer time. All right, so today we've got from Back
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Pocket Brewing out of, are they in Waterloo?
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: No, Coralville.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, okay.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Iowa City.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: They actually are now in Waterloo because Single Speed took
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: them over.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, okay. I forgot about that.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we've got their Hawktoberfest. So this one is
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: kind of a little spite in front of the show
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: forest a little bit.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Kick a man when he's down.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I'm a Hawk fan. I'm an Iowa fan. And Forrest,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: while you are definitely a Bears fan, true and true,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: you're way more of a Michigan fan. And this week
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: is Iowa-Michigan.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: It is, up in Ann Arbor.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm not going to turn this into an
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Iowa podcast, but I think we all know the outcome
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: of that game is going to be favorable for you
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: and not for me, but that's okay.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: You never know. It's football.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: That is true.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Football is football.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: But either way, we get to drink some awesome Oktoberfest
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: themed for the Hawkeyes. I think we've had this before, Ev?
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Episode 7. Ooh, a long time ago.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Go back and listen to that one. See if our
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: opinions are the same now as they were then. So
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: here we go. Skol.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Skol. Definitely a good Oktoberfest beer. Can't beat it.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: It's malty. It's solid.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: And not too heavy. It's not trying to be too
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: much of a crazy Oktoberfest. It's just good. I think, what, 5.3%
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: nice crisp. Definitely an Oktoberfest. The flavor's there. But it's
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: not like it's a one and done or two and done.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: You can enjoy a good Oktoberfest with a handful of these. Um,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: we were just at an Oktoberfest, uh, you and I recently, uh,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: we did not have the Oktoberfest. I don't even know
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: if that was offered. Um, but yeah, it definitely would
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: have gone down pretty good there too. So yeah, nothing
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: wrong with it. Uh, I'm sure that those were our
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: opinions last time we had it. So really excited to
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: have a few more on the episode tonight.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: And I think I can remain a little bit more
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: neutral in the Hawks versus Michigan game. Uh, not that
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I'm anti Hawkeyes. Nor am I, like, anti-Michigan, really. I
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: live in Iowa. I'll root for the Hawkeyes probably because
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I live in Iowa.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: But, you know, you and I is my team. You
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: and I got absolutely handled by Iowa this last week.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: It was 55-0. But, you know, you win some, you
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: lose some.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw a post from Northern Iowa Athletics. celebrating
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: how many first downs they got in that game. That's
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: how bad it was. You've got to find ways to celebrate,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: I guess, boys. But luckily, we are not here to
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: talk about the Hawkeyes, the Wolverines, or the UNI Panthers.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: We are here to talk about the Vikings and how
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: they beat Friend of the Show for us. Chicago Bears
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: it was an ugly game uh my gosh nine to
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: three it was rainy the whole time um and it
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: was ugly for more than one reason Caleb Williams went
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: down with an injury um which we can talk about
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: there's definitely some opinions about that um there's some discussion
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: to be had maybe about the number of red zone
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: trips each team made um I think there's a discussion
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: to be had about uh the Vikings kicker and how
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: good he is.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: He's still perfect this year, but let's start off with
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: roses and thorns. So you'll remember this from last year forest.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: We like to look at the highlights, the good things,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: which we call roses. And of course the bad things,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: which we call thorns. Um, I'll start. I had some
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: long winded responses this week. I'm a little bit shorter
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: in the tooth with my roses and thorns, but I
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: still have a few. I can't just like boil it
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: down to one. Okay. Um, cause I think there's a
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: lot to be excited about. about the vikings this year
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: and i'll start by saying it will to thrill he
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: was perfect he remains perfect yeah and he is i
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: think he's an elite kicker i think we have arguably
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: the best kicker in the league i think if we
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: can keep him healthy um the sky's the limit to
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: rebuttal that one um and yeah go we can we
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: can definitely go nine rounds on that if we want
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: uh another row is that the vikings are two and
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: oh and they're two and oh against divisional rivals uh
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: that feels really good like it feels like we're almost
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: like halfway to the playoffs already Like, I know.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: It's a long season, man. I'm excited, too.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: There's a little bit of hyperbole there, but I'm excited.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I'm really high on the Vikings right now, and I
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: think the biggest reason to be high on the Vikings
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: is the defense. This defense proved in this game by
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: not allowing the 59-point Bears in Week 2 a touchdown
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: at all. Now, I know the conditions weren't ideal, but
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: that says something. When they put up 59 the week
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: before and they come in at their place and can't
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: even score a touchdown... that tells me that we've got
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: a really, really good defense on our hands. Those are
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: my roses.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: I'll go next just because I want to preface the
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: whole rest of this episode with this fact. I know
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: that this game was a slop fest for both teams.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: The weather dictated so much of this game. It would
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: have been a completely different, whether the Vikings still won
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: or lost or whatever. Yeah. The game would have been
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: completely different if it was sunny and 75 and perfect conditions.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: So we all know that. We know that this wasn't
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: like a 17-point obliteration by the Vikings. This wasn't one
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: where Bears fans forced you to come away thinking, well,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: obviously our team is the worst because the Vikings absolutely
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: demolished us. That's just not the facts. It was a
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: touchdown-less game. Um, there was some goods on both sides,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: really bads on both sides, horrific injury, maybe. Um, but it,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: the truth to be told, like it, this wasn't a
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: beat down. This was a hard fought game and glad
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: for Evan and my sake, our team came out on
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: the winning side, but it could have easily gone any,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: any side having prefaced all that. Here's my roses. I
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: enjoyed the running game. I think in this game, in
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: this kind of game where the, the, Field, which Soldier
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Field is notorious for not having the highest quality field.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: It's an outdoor stadium in the elements. It's pretty tough
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: for them to have a pristine field all the time.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: And it was super rainy. It had been rainy there
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: for days, continued throughout the day. So those are the
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: kind of games you want to have a solid run game.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: And I think Aaron Jones should be celebrated heavily for
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: his performance and Um, it's just, it was a good day.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: You get a hundred yards, uh, and he, he gutted
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: it out through, through a few injuries. At one point
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: he was questionable to come back into the game because
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: of a knee injury, I guess. Um, but he did
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: come back and he, he was one of the defining
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: reasons that the Vikings were able to, to hold it
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: out and come away with a victory. So that's my rose. Forrest,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: do you, do you, do you got any roses?
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, I always have, I always have roses. I mean,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: you gotta look at it from, like you stated, um,
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: Sloppy game. I don't think either team... I mean, you
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: can say both defenses played really well, actually. But I
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: guess you kind of expect that, knowing it's going to
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: be a run-heavy game. You can kind of hone in
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: a little bit more like that. I thought the Bears
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: did as good as they should have, holding you guys still.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: No touchdowns. I mean, Josh Jefferson was held in check overall. So, yeah,
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: you guys just obviously... had a better defense i mean
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: and no turnovers like or we so it all came
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: down to that yeah yeah i mean but the road
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: i was gonna say my rose would be the fact
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: that the bears still i think like i said i
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: don't get a bad feeling i mean barring injury and
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: everything i think the bears are still a very good
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: team and uh i don't feel like you guys ran
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: away with it um Like we said at the beginning
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: of the season, it's going to be a tough division.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: And this game showed it.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: It came down to the last second. I mean, there
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: was one second on the clock. The Bears had the
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: ball at the 12-yard line and were threatening to score
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: before Dallas Turner sacked Tyson Bajent for the final play
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: of the game. But, I mean, we were kind of
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: sitting there on pins and needles as Vikings fans, like,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: what's going to happen? Is this going to be one
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: of those historic games that the Vikings lose in a
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: one-possession scenario? even though we didn't turn the ball over
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: at all. And even though we won the turnover battle overall,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: like all those things that we've kind of been tracking
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: as Vikings fans. Um, yeah, it, it, it came down
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: to the last second. So the bears, the bears hung
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: in there despite some setbacks and the weather of course
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: was just bad.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: So absolutely. Um, Forrest, do you want to run it
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: back with Thorns?
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: Um, besides obviously losing. And, you know, I think we'll
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: talk about injury. That's definitely a thorn specifically for the bears.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, if Kayla Williams is not able to go
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: for several weeks, that's a huge hindrance. And hearing that
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Tyson Bajan is, you know, concussion protocol. So we're on
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: QB three potentially going into week three. So definitely that thorn.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: But for me, the big thorn was the penalties. Like,
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: We had bears move in, and then penalties just stopped
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: momentum several times. So, brought us out of field goal range,
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: you know, back in the red zone. Just stupid, stupid penalties.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Eight penalties for 58 yards on the bears. Three for
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: 25 on the Vikings.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm pretty sure... the bears starting center garrett
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: bradbury had at least four of those penalties yeah former
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: vikings so i think i saw somebody tweet um well
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: it took eight years but finally garrett bradbury is helping
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: the vikings.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: We need to bring bring logan from the hawkeyes they
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: drafted him in the second round yeah it may be
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: earlier in the season that we start seeing him so.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah maybe now i Again, I said this a little
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: bit before, but with the weather in this game, you
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: almost throw the whole game out. You can't really figure
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: out who either team is just based on that weather.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: You can say, oh, this guy played good, or hey,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: he toughed it out, but overall, you can't really self-scout
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: or really scout either team at all from their performance
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: in this game. So that's kind of my thorn, is
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: that we're We're kind of unsure who the Vikings are.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Through two games in this season, we've seen 11 plays
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: of Kyler Murray, who was the announced starter at quarterback
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: before the season. So we don't really know if we've
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: seen the Vikings' offense as designed with him as quarterback.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Carson Wentz, I think, has played... admirably as the backup quarterback. Um,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: but we've seen a ceiling, you know, we're going to
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: see some, some good pre-snap adjustments. He's going to read
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: the field, but then he's going to take a while
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: to get to his first read, then a second read,
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: then it gets sacked or, you know, like we we've
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: seen what he can do and it's, it's good enough
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: in game if he needs to come in. But, um, overall,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: and now we're down RB one, uh, Jordan Mason, uh,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: He might be RB1. You can make the argument between
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason who RB1 is. So I
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: don't really know who this team is, and that's kind
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: of frustrating because I don't know what to expect next week,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: the week after, how this season's going to go. So
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: I'm excited for the team, but I'm tempering my expectations
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: because they could be terrible. You never know.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my thorn kind of comes off of what you've said,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: but I know we have differing opinions on this, and
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: so I'm interested to hear your take. because you mentioned
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: that Carson played okay. At first you used a really
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: strong adjective to say he played admirably, and then you
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: kind of backed away from that, and you said he
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: did what he needed to do. And I think I
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: want to remind you what a friend of the show, Dustin,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: said a while ago. I forget when this was, but
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: I want to say that he said on our show
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: that whoever the Vikings get in that quarterback position, they
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: just need to manage the game. right? They just need
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: to come in and manage the game and they need
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: to do it Kevin O'Connell's way, right? And we've seen
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: some flashes of that. We saw a little bit, like
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: it seemed like before Kirk Cousins went down with his
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Achilles injury, he and Kevin O'Connell were starting to get
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: on the same page. They were clicking. We were kind
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: of really hopeful that season that the Vikings were going
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: to go do some big things. And then he went
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: down with his injury. And then it was this carousel
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: of quarterbacks after that. And you brought in Josh Dobbs
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: for a game and a half of really great play,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: only to see that kind of fade away. And the
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: other quarterbacks, too, I think, in some ways. We've seen
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell work some magic. But I think what we
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: saw these last two games and what we saw last
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: year in five games with Carson Wentz was we saw
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: a solid game manager. Now, if you're a game manager quarterback,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: are you going to win all of those games? Probably not.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: He went 2-3 last year. He went 2-0 this year.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: So his overall record as a starter, as a Viking,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: is 4-3. He's a winning quarterback for the Vikings.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Just because somebody's going to comment, he technically didn't start
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: the first game.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: So technically. But you're right.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: You're right. You're right.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: He played after the first two series of the game.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: He gets credit for the win in my book.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fine.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: That won't go on the stat sheet, and I get that.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Kyler will get the win, even though all he did
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: was throw an interception and then go out after 11 plays.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: My thorn is that... kyler murray has already been named
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: the starter for week three going to tampa bay and
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: i think that's a big problem and it kind of
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: couples off of what you just said because we're unsure
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: who the vikings are and i think kevin o'connell's unsure
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: who his starting quarterback is i am not super pumped
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: about kyler murray taking over his qb1 coming off of
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: the injury he just had and playing the way he
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: played in 11 plays he didn't you texted me right
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: away he looks uncomfortable he looks like he doesn't know
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: what he's doing and we can sit here and complain
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: all day long about carson wentz hangs onto the ball
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: too long oh he's not elite he's not this or
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: that but You know what he is? He's a good
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: game manager and he wins games and he got the ball.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: He's been forcing the ball to Justin Jefferson and Justin
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Jefferson's hungry right now. He wants the ball. He wants
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: to be a contributor, especially after the downfall that was
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: last season. So I know I'm getting long in the tooth,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: but Carson Wentz hasn't turned the ball over this season.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: He's managed the offense. Well, he went to a no,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: I think it's a mistake to start Kyler Murray. That's
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: my thorn. Uh, And it's a thorn for the Bears
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: game because I thought Carson Wentz did enough in that
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: game to put the Vikings in position for Will the
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Thrill to go out and kick three field goals, which
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: was the difference in the game. Why not give him
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: another chance and give Kyler at least another week to
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: recover and take more first-team reps with the offense in practice?
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: I see your point. I think a lot of people
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: may agree with you. I'm not one of them.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: I don't think.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: you can trust Carson Wentz throughout the season. I wanted
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: to do it, but I didn't. We could probably go
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: back to our very show less than a year ago
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: after a few games of Carson Wentz saying, hey, I mean,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: I know he threw for 200 yards a couple of
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: those games, but it was not great. He's a game manager.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Everything you said was right. Kevin O'Connell needs a game manager.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: And Carson Wentz seems to fit in that mold of
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: quarterback that succeeds in Kevin O'Connell's offense. but he's like
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: the lower tier of that. I mean, you say he
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: didn't turn anything over. He threw two picks. One was
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: taken back for penalty, and the other one, if not
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: for a downpour, that Bears linebacker would have had it.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I have to agree with Austin on this one.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: Look at the two games. Yes, he technically led his
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: team to victory both times, but think about three quarters
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: plus of that Packers game. He didn't look that great.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: And honestly, with the weather, I don't think he did
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: enough to drive his team to get field goals. But
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: nothing on that game said, this guy can lead the Vikings.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: And I'm not saying, you know, I'd love to see,
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: I think, Carson Wentz. Because I think the Vikings will
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: suffer if he stays QB1 a lot longer. But that's
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: just my personal take on it.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Time will tell. Because even if Kyler's fully healthy... The
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: chances of him being perfect the rest of the way
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: through are pretty low. Just like the chances of anybody
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: being perfect. I mean, Matt Stafford's not perfect, you know.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: But we'll see. Kevin O'Connell does seem to wait too
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: long to switch out a quarterback.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, the odds are that Carson Wentz will again
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: start or be the QB because... I have no faith
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: that Kyler Murray can make it the rest of the season.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, health-wise.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: And stay healthy.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: He may get carted off the field at one point
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: if he stubs his toe or somebody sneezes within 50
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: yards of him.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, the only one more injury-prone lately is Jane Daniels,
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: I think. Oh, yeah. And that dude is like Mr. Glass,
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Well, can we talk for just a second about Caleb Williams?
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: I feel like we just– I don't want to like–
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: We can. I don't want to just like pile on
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: to that whole thing. But I want your thoughts because
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: I watched an interesting video today. It was some podcast.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: And they were talking about the etiquette of being injured
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: and being carted off the field. And they claimed that
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Caleb Williams broke the etiquette because his injury wasn't severe
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: enough to be draped in a towel and then pull
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: the towel off and give this. Their claim was, you
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: do this. If you tore your Achilles, you do that
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: if you tore your ACL. You do this if you
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: were knocked out cold, concussed, and you're now conscious again.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: We thought you were dead. That's reserved for just a
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: few moments in football. It's not reserved for the minor
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: hamstring pull, tear. We're not sure what it is, but
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: something like that, where he'll probably come back in a
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: few weeks. What are your guys' thoughts? I want to know.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: Go for it, Austin.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: So I'll preface this first, play a little devil's advocate.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: I have never tweaked my hamstring. I don't know what
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: that feels like. I've never pulled it or torn it
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: or had it explode as if, you know, Caleb Williams'
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: reaction may lead us to believe. So I don't know.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's pretty painful. I have seen, you know, many
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: a time players on the field in football games that
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: be completely ragdoll, lifeless on the field, being carted off,
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: and then as they're strapped to the thing, go into
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: the ambulance, give that thumbs up, and the stadium goes nuts. So, Evan,
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: you're right. When a player does something like that, they're
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: on the cart or something, and they give the thumbs
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: up to the stadium at home after reacting the way
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: they did, fans are like, oh man, that's tough. It's
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: got to be something terrible. It's got to be his Achilles.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: And then after the game you hear, Oh, maybe it
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: might just be a hamstring. And then, you know, the
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: day after the game, it's like, yeah, sounds like it's
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: like just the grade one hamstring, whatever, like get it.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Torn apart.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: The internet exploded. I mean, the memes that came out.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: I saw Viking States.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: I don't understand why people are so upset about it.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: It's not upset.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: I think people are upset there aren't Bears fans. It
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: wasn't worse because they know the Bears are going to
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: be much better if Kalen Williams is starting to be.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: I can see that point. But the fact is, when
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: he was crying... getting carted off, doing the tough guy, like,
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: I'm not crying. Good job, guys. It was like, oh, man,
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: we might not see Caleb Williams play football until next September. Man,
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: I feel for that guy. I tweeted from the skull hop.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: I feel for Caleb. He's developed into a really good quarterback.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Hope he's okay. And then 12 hours later, it's like, ah,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: he got a boo-boo.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Like, okay. All right, big dude.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Like that's, that's crazy. Now let's, let's preface it this
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: way too. The Vikings just signed a punter to their
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: practice squad because Brett Thorson, uh, their starting punter suffered
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: the exact same injury that Kayla Williams did. And we
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: didn't even hear about it until today, like until a
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: few days later. So you can't cry your way off
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: the field because, for anything less than a season-ending injury.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Because he did. I mean, you watch the video, and
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: he's holding it back.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: He's Mr.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Tough Guy. Like, I'm good, guys. Keep going, Bears. It's
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: just like, oh, my goodness.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: I think we need to take that little sound bite
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: right there and put that over the video of Caleb
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Williams being carted off the field. I think that would
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: be amazing. I'll work on that this week.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Please do. But truthfully, you watch his reaction. Because even
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: before that, he was– He went down untouched. It looked
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: like a Viking tripped him up, but I think he
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: was pretty well untouched.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say he's untouched.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Grabbing his leg. People are like, oh, man, it looks...
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Was that his Achilles? And then he's grabbing his face mask,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: and you hear him on TV, screaming and crying. We've
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: all experienced some pain. We've all stubbed our toe or
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: actual worse pain in our lives. And we know when
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: something's like, golly, like... You know when something really hurts,
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: so it probably did hurt for a second. But that
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: was overkill. And because it was a 2 and he
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: reacted as if it was a 100, that's where it's
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: super funny to laugh at him now. And I think
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: we're okay to laugh at.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Him because he's perfectly fine. You're more than allowed to laugh.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: He was walking around in the locker room after the game.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: And you know who was, you know, excited? Bears fans.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: To see that it wasn't as serious of an injury. I...
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: I think personally, because I can't remember a time that
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: I pulled a hamstring to a point where it's considered
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: level one, level.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Two, whatever. Yeah, yeah.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: I think it really is excruciatingly pain right when you
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: do it. Just like you said, when you stub your
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: toe or bang your elbow on something, it hurts a lot. And,
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: you know, after a little bit, it tends to, you know,
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: feel a little bit better.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: Maybe there's good trainers back there that have magic hands
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: that made it feel a lot better. I don't know.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: The fact of the matter is I.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Don't care that people are laughing because the sooner he
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: gets back on the field, the sooner he's going to
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: have material to show the world once again why he's
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: one of the better quarterbacks in the league now. And
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: let's be honest, during that game, you were scared a
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: few times when he was taking off and extending plays. Oh, yeah.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: So let's give credit. While you think he's a crybaby,
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: he's an elite athlete when he's at his prime.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: But I will also say, to bring this full circle,
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: look back at when I was on the podcast before
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: we drafted Caleb. williams i was not a kayla williams
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: fan did not like his antics in college and this
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: is the stuff that kind of reminds me of those
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: college days when he does these theatrical type things so
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: yes it did have a flashback but am i happy
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: that it's a less severe Hamstring? Absolutely.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're not.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Rooting for this to be it.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: No, I don't take it as you're rooting for injury.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying it's funny how the opposite team or
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: division rivals or anyone that's not a Bears fan take this.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: And same way if it was the Vikings player like
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: Kyler Murray, if it was obviously his concussion was a
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: big hit.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: Anything like that is going to become a meme and everything.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: So I think, I think if we were sitting here
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: after maybe like the week one game against the Packers
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: and you were with us and Jordan Love went down
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: with a similar injury, I think all of us would
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: be like, that's the funniest thing I've seen in a
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: long time.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Like he made this big deal out of something so small.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: He got carted off the field. Lambeau went nuts when
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: he did this, you know, whatever. So I definitely think
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: it's a little bit subjective to your team, right?
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Um, but, I'm going to just wrap this up by
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: saying I did not feel that way. I did not
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: feel like, oh man, just you wait. fans from other
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: teams because kyler murray's gonna come back with a vengeance
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: i wasn't thinking that i was actually like i was
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: excited that he went out.
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: Well that's the difference between your team he threw an
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: interception on his first pass as a viking like i
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: i was okay i'm i'm not okay with him getting
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: hurt i'm not okay with that fact like.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: You don't want to see injury on anybody i'm happy
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: he's recovered quickly i think the nfl has done a
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: good job of refining their concussion protocol process So I'm
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: hopeful that he's healthy and good and he can avoid
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: long-term stuff. You're probably going to get a concussion at
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: least once in your football career, if not multiple times.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: That's just part of the inherent risk of playing the game.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: But all that to say, like, I was on the
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: opposite end of the spectrum when Kyler Murray got hurt.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, Kyler was, I mean, you had to take
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: the odds on favorite that he, maybe it wasn't week one,
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: but I would say in the first, like, three, four games,
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: he was going to get injured.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and we've said that. When we said that, we
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: were saying, hey, J.J. McCarthy's going to play because he's
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: going to get injured.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: The fact of the matter is, like you said, he
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: played so poorly in the 11 snaps or whatever that
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: he did, and then to get injured. Of course, you're
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: not happy that he's injured, but you're not mad because
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: it means give someone else a shot. They can't do
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: any worse.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: And this is why I'm upset that Kyler's going to
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: start in week three. But that's beside the point. Let's
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: get to game balls here. Austin? Who gets your game ball?
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: My game ball goes to those Bears training staff that
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: worked God-level miracle. No, I'm just kidding. Game ball for me,
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: and Evan, I feel like I might be stealing this
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: a little bit from you based on your roses, but
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Will Reichard. He was the only Viking to score points. Yes,
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: the defense came up big with some turnovers, and some
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: other guys are deserving of probably some recognition in game balls,
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: but for me, It's plain and simple. He scored all
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: the points for the Vikings. There was a doink in there,
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: but the ball bounced the Vikings way.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: No wires like in Europe.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: No wires. The wind must have been just perfect. What
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: did they say in the Mighty Ducks? It was like
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: the coach was upset when he was a kid because
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: he hit the crossbar and it went off and he
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: barely made the shot. And the kid's like, you know what,
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: if you had If you were just an inch more off,
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: it wouldn't have even hit the crossbar. So Will Reichert,
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: he did just enough to get the ball in three times.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: He's perfect on the year, mostly perfect in his career.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: He gets my game ball.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: I'll go next. My game ball is going to Brian
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Flores and this Vikings defense. And you didn't steal my
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: thunder because in my roses, yes, I mentioned Will the Thrill,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: but I also mentioned about this defense and how it's elite.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: I think Brian Flores is the mastermind behind it. We
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: talked a lot about it last week after the week
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: one victory against the Packers at home. They blitzed on
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: 82% of their snaps against the Packers, which was absolutely maniacal.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: But it worked, and it got the win. And I
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: don't know what the percentage was against the Bears, but
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: they blitzed a lot against the Bears too.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: It was very similar.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: And it worked. And I don't know that we're going
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: to sustain that long term anymore. But I still hold
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: to my theory that I held to last week that
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: Harrison Smith has been brought in for a specific reason.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: He's a mercenary. He's been brought in to just cast
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: his shadow on the line of scrimmage and just mess
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: with the opposing quarterback's head. That's why he's there. I'm
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: convinced of that. And I think Brian Flores is just
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: grinning the whole time. And you saw Brian Flores. walk
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: off the field. There was that clip of him just
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: getting really animated with the Vikings fans at Soldier Field.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: You don't see that out of him a lot. He's
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: a pretty behind-the-scenes kind of guy. You don't see him
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: a lot in press conferences or anything. But I think
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: he's pumped about where this Vikings defense is. I'm pumped
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: about this Vikings defense. I just hope that the offense
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: can continue to make strides and build and improve. That's
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: just another reason why I'm hoping that They just stick
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: with the hot hand in Carson Wentz, and they don't
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: just turn it right back over to Kyler to go
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: right back to pot. Who's your game ball going to, Forrest?
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: Oh, man. So hard in this type of game to
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: give a game ball. Like I said earlier, though, I
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: think the defense overall played well under the conditions, but
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: specifically our two freshmen or rookies, I say freshmen, but rookies, Thinaman, Mohamed,
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: I think they held their own, showed good strides there.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: So I'm excited to continue to see how they build
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: their game.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like I said, this game, I mean, it's not
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: like you can scout the teams at all. Either team
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: could keep going undefeated the rest of the year or
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: be garbage. You just don't know who these teams are
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: after this game. It's such a crapshoot of a game.
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: Correct.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: It's it's hard to really.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: I i will say i i mean penny i don't
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: know do we play you guys last game of the
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: season i'll look it up yeah so it's gonna be
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: a long time before we see each other again could
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: be completely different makeups of the team yeah obviously we
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: don't have to worry about weather because it's gonna be
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: in minnesota who knows you know how the teams are
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: playing at that point but I think it's going to
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: be a much different game. Oh, yeah. I expect much
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: more of a higher score. I think both offenses can
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: produce points depending on what your QB play ends up being,
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: but obviously you have the weapons to back it up.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: This reminds me of something. This is a little bit
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: of a digression, but didn't we have a Malort bet.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: Where if.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Either team lost, we had to take a shot of Malort.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Am I making that up, or is that real?
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: There's something to it. You might be right. However, I
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: would feel like a massive jerk if I was like, hey, Forrest,
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: you're taking a shot of Malort right now.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: I don't agree to this.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: The only reason I ask, because we still have a
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: bottle of Malort.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: It's right here. I believe what you're recalling, Evan, is
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: last year, I can't remember. Was it because we played
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: you week one last year and the Bears lost and
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: then the Bears won?
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Well, and we were live streaming during that game. Yeah.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: The three of us were.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: So I don't know if– I'd have to re-listen to
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: that episode if maybe I made a bet. or you
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: talk me into it I don't think this was an
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: overall bet maybe it.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Was we'll clear the air we're good for tonight.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: We're not going to spring a random it'd be different
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: if you had remembered this like two days ago or
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: yesterday and like we did make this.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: We can't do that I'm not that sinister we're all
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: friends here week 18 sure The Vikings host the Bears.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: What if we make a bet? Okay. A Malort bet.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: Is this like two against one? What are we doing here?
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I think it's just simple. I think
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: if the Bears win, we take shots at Malort. Okay.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: If the Vikings win, Forrest has to take a shot
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: at Malort. And you've got to come on the show after.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, so it's a given. Bears, you're welcome.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: I will agree to that knowing. Full well, you know,
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: going in, you know, we're talking 16 weeks from now.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: You've got four months to prepare yourself. Okay, it's on
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: the show that the Malort bet is on.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: Gentleman's agreement.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Huzzah.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: I knew you were going to do that. All right, well,
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: that's good. That's good. And now we can feel good
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: about that one. I would have been... Completely against you, Evan,
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: if you were like, all right, Forrest, take the shot
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: right now. I don't think that's what you're saying.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: No.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: Another little dovetail, you betcha on YouTube recently did a
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: whole video trying to make Malort taste good. And one
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: of the things they did, they just made a bunch
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: of cocktails. One was a Malort margarita. But one that
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: they said wasn't terrible, actually, was a Malort Paloma.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Interesting.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: And I think they dropped the ball on their video
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: because they didn't rename these cocktails to be like a Maloma.
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: I think if you can overtake the aftertaste of Malort with,
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: like you said, the lime juice, the citrus, it probably
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: doesn't taste horrible.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: I don't mind Malort. So this bet, there's nothing on
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: the list.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: Like I said, I would rather have Malort than, say,
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: a Jack Daniels. I had bad experience.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: Well, that'll do it.
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: That'll do it. It's not the worst shot. Well, I
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: like a good bourbon.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Give me whiskey anyway.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: Don't get me started. I love a good bourbon, but
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: when it comes to, like, JD, no. All right.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: Well, Evan, I put it in here because we kind
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: of talked about some stats last week, and maybe we
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: can– we can finish off this Bears-Vikings game. Talker, looking
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: at some of these stats again. So at one point,
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: at least when we were recording our last episode, which
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: was a few days before, the over-under in Vegas for
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: this Vikings-Bears game was 48.5 points. They just missed it.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: They just barely missed it by, what, a total of
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: 12 points that they actually scored. Um, and the bears
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: were favored by four and a half points and the
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: bears didn't even score four and.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: A half points.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: So, um, obviously Vegas was a little wrong, but like
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: we said, a thousand times already, the, the weather has
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: affected how this game turned out. Carson Wentz was expected
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: to have somewhere around 220 ish passing yards, two touchdowns. Uh,
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: you had the stats up. I actually have them up here.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: I think Carson Wentz, 143 passing yards and no touchdowns. Um,
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson, around 80 yards and a receiving touchdown. He had, what, 55?
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: That's actually not bad. I thought he got less than that.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: Caleb Williams, it said about 230 yards passing and a
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: couple TDs. He had 138. But, again, the weather totally
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: changed how all of this ended up. I just thought
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: it was interesting to look back at how Vegas thought
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: this would go. Obviously, you and I both, in our
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: preseason predictions, Ev, um, thought the Vikings would lose this game.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: And then even as recently as last week before the game,
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: we both thought they would lose. So, oh, us of
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: little faith. Um, I'm not mad they won. Um, maybe
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: I'm a little more excited about this team now that
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: they're two and oh, um, bears fans should not be
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: upset about their team. It's, it's a long season and
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: obviously the bears are good. And, uh, let's hope Caleb
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: can overcome that, Just horrific injury.
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: No, use the word you said, boo-boo.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: Okay, all right.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: Defend it.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: Defend it.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: Let's hope he can get better after that widow boo-boo.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: It's a long season. It'll be good, and I'm excited
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: to see how the whole division ends up.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: So let's talk really quick just about league-wide standings really
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: quick because I think there are some interesting teams that
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: are now 2-0. There's also some interesting teams that are 0-2,
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: and there's a whole bunch of teams in the middle
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: that are 1-1. Forrest, I want you to start. Who's
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: your most surprising 2-0, and who's your most surprising 0-2
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: in the league?
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: Maybe the Vikings, since we're talking about them. I truly
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: felt like seeing that they were going to play the
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: Packers and then the Bears, I figured they... would be
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: one and one at at the very best um so
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: i would say them but uh looking at the other
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: list it's got to be the raiders.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: I mean yeah it's it's i mean and yeah.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: Kurt cousins i mean he's he's doing a good job
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: and and hey i can appreciate them keeping mendoza on
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: the bench that's I hate to say it, but that's
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: the winning strategy that got the Packers so far a
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: lot of years. Keep your young quarterbacks on the bench
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: as much as possible early on to learn the game,
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: take in the playbook. But, yeah, the Raiders for sure.
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: I think most people would.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: Agree, but maybe not.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: What about your most surprising 0-2?
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: Oh, dude, it's got to be the Chargers.
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, Jim Harbaugh, Michigan guy, obviously I root for him.
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: But that's shocking to me. I don't think Justin Herbert's
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: looked very good. The defense, for sure, hasn't looked good.
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: So I'm shocked, really.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I wholeheartedly agree on everything you just said. I mean,
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: the Raiders, who knows? Maybe they end up doing something.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: They finally have Clint Kubiak. Is that their head coach? Yep.
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: Seems to be doing well. It's two games, I know.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: We could be, you know, two weeks from now saying
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: completely different things about the whole league. But, yeah, I mean,
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: they look pretty good. Ashton Gentry, didn't he catch a
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: touchdown from Kirk Cousins?
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: You know, from a guy that was, I know it's
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: now past week two, but questionable for week one. People
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: that had early drafts are like, oh, no. Yeah. But, hey,
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: he came, bounced back, and he's looked pretty good so far.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: And then the Chargers, too. They're 0-2 now, but I mean, honestly,
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: unless somebody big on their team gets injured, excuse me,
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: Harbaugh has proven to be a good coach. And good coaches,
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: they battle these things. And they get through adversity. They
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: coach guys up. And they're not going to end up
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: in the bottom of the league. I'd be shocked if
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: they lost six more games this year. They'll end up
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: being pretty good, and they're going to be a borderline
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: playoff team like they should be based on their talent.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: I think... The most surprising to me 0-2 team is Houston.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: The Texans have been really good for the last couple
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: of years. And you've got coaching. You've got the quarterback.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: You've got a defense that's supposed to be pretty good.
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: And honestly, they're not bad. They're negative 19 right now
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: on the point differential, which isn't the worst among 0-2 teams.
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: Didn't week one they lose the Bills, though?
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the Bills are a good team.
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: So the Bills are a good team. But I get
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: your point.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying to be 0-2 at this point I
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: think is pretty demoralizing for a team like Houston where
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: they kind of probably expected to be better. And I
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: think a really surprising 2-0 team is the Cincinnati Bengals.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: They just haven't been good the last several years, and
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow has been kind of in and out with injury. Yeah.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know. To be 2-0, I don't really know
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: who they played. I haven't really followed that or paid attention.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: But they're plus 20 point differential, 2-0.
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: I think no one questioned their offense as long as
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: Joe Burrow could stay healthy. It was their defense the
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: last several years that has been their Achilles heel.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: And I think a lot of people are thinking the
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: Vikings are a surprise 2-0 team. And even us, we
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: both predicted them to be 1-1 at this point. um
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: so to be 2-0 i'm feeling really optimistic about the
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: vikings and i'm excited.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: Um my face is sticky it's just like a film
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: on my face why is that austin of the the
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: whipped cream you you got really good coverage all over everything.
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: Wasn't that the point yes you did fantastic all.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: Right um but it's i'm gonna This is like a
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: showering necessary situation.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: I'm going to wash my face before I go to bed. Yeah, yeah.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: It could be way worse. But it's uncomfortable. And this
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: is definitely a punishment. I hope people don't think that
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: being pied in the face and then immediately washing it
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: off is not a punishment. It kind of sucks.
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: And to be fair, we could have taken a different route.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: We could have used shaving cream instead of whipped cream.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: Whipped cream obviously has a ton of sugar in it,
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: which is why your face is feeling a little sticky
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: And my beard has been longer than it is now.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: But it's still there.
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: It could be worse, like you said.
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's still there.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: You're going to need to get some shampoo in there
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: and wash that out.
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: You guys both took it like champs, though.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: We had no choice.
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we didn't have a choice. We could have been
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: frauds and not been pied in the face.
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: Well, you could put probably less whipped cream in the pie.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: If we're going to do it, we've got to do it.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: I think we used the better part of a can
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: of whipped cream.
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys did well.
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: And we were prepared. You had two full cans ready,
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: and we just only needed one.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: We only needed one.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: Watch back the tape.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: Used quite a bit oh we're gonna do.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: Like all the slow-mo takes and like i'm gonna we're
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: gonna doctor that up it'll be fun sweet love that
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: all right uh the vikings travel to tampa bay next
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: week where do the bears.
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: Play they play at home against the eagles.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: Eagles okay um really quick what do you think Bears win,
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: Bears lose.
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, the QB three.
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: Potentially.
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, anything's possible. It's football. It's football. So I
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: don't feel horrible knowing as long. I go back to
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: your point, Evan. If Case Keenum is the QB for
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: this game, as long as he can manage the game,
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: we have enough weapons. whether our defense can hold the
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: the philly offense enough that would be my where my
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: worry is um but we'll see it's at home i
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: think there will be a hard week of practice knowing
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: there were a lot of mistakes against you guys in
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: Week 2. So anything's possible.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: So right now DraftKings has Philly as 4.5-point favorites on
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: the road in Chicago. You've told me for a while
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: that they automatically give the home team a 1.5-point advantage.
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: I think it's like 3 points even.
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. So really what we're looking at here is
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: like a 1-point spread.
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: If we take that into consideration, right? Like they're saying
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: Philly's going to win by one. So do you think
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: it's that close? It could be.
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: It could be. I think, honestly, you know, I'm going
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: to be optimistic. I think the Bears somehow pull this
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: one out and we win by a field goal.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: Yep. Yeah.
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, so it is Monday night, right?
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe it's Monday night.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: So there's a.
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: Whole extra day. for that widow boo-boo that Caleb Williams
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: got to really heal up. Maybe they'll be able to
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: take that Band-Aid off by then. So I think there's
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: a chance Caleb Williams plays. I mean, I know we
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: all saw the reaction, and that would just make the
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: memes so much better.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: He's listed as doubtful right now.
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's also a fool.
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: I'd rather him wait another week. Yeah. Make sure the
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: hamstring's good, because we're going to need him for more.
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: More than just next week.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely.
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: It's a long season. Also, we've kind of hinted at it.
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know if we outright said it. Tyson Bajent's
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: in the concussion protocol.
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: He is, yep.
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: Which must, it had to have come from that final sack.
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: I'm guessing the sack.
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: Which, what are your thoughts on that sack?
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: It was a little violent.
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: It was a little violent.
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, personally, if that's Kayla Williams, I think the
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: flag is thrown on that thing. That was a pickup attack.
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: And throw down. Suplex, for sure.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: I can't argue that.
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: We definitely have seen the flag thrown on that type
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: of hit on the quarterback, take down on the quarterback.
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: And even as recently as just over a week ago,
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: the Vikings-Packers game, the Vikings benefited from roughing the passer
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: where The Packer very clearly did not put his entire
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: body weight.
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: On top of Carson Wentz, even though they got the flag.
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: I think we've all had games where you're like, how
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: can that not draw a flag? Unfortunately, it evens out
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: in a sense, but it doesn't feel good when you're
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: on the team that you felt like should get that.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: To that point, though, in that Packers game, you had
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: the one that wasn't called. Against the Vikings and then
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: there was one that was called later against the Packers
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: Packers defense sacked Carson Wentz Well.
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: That's what I was saying. Is that that sack against
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: Carson Wentz that was called a passenger? Probably shouldn't have
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: been right but.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: Then there maybe maybe I'm thinking of the one that
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: wasn't oh, yeah where the defender like kind of braced
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: himself and came up and It was you know? So
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: it's just, it's so subjective.
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: I'm not like saying bears, you know, when, even if
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: the flag is thrown, you know, it definitely would give
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: them a shot, but it was a 50 for me
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: as a, almost like a 50, 50. Yes. I would
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: have loved to see the flag. Was I hooting and
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: hollering that they didn't throw a flag? No, as more
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: ticked off and I'm going to be polite with, with this,
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: maybe have children, children, but, uh, The fact that the
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: protection was so bad, why didn't you have Loveland just
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: run the round instead of try to block? It just
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: drove me nuts. The play call was a disaster.
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: Well, sorry to bring it up.
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, sorry.
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: I'm here to say, I think you could have had
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: bounds for a flag on that play. However, and I
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: hate this, I think it was one of those, they
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: weren't going to call it in that situation, which how
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: many times have I said, I don't care if it's
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: the last second of the game, if somebody breaks a rule.
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: That's exactly it. The rule should apply through the whole
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: 60 minutes, but we all know certain players, quarterbacks, get
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: the benefit of the doubt more often than not.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: But anyways, to bring it all around, he's in the
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: concussion protocol, which we've seen also countless times. A guy
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: will be in the protocol, and then he clears it
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: the next day. None of us are experts on... We
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: just know it's like a path that... It is, and
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: this could be precautionary.
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: He had maybe some symptoms... And it's not as big
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: of a deal, but we'll know in the next few days.
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: So, and with that one extra day and really like
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: a day and a half, cause Monday night is a
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: day and you know, the evening later. So maybe that,
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: maybe that helps the Bears.
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, I love to see, I'm betting, I'm betting
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: that Caleb Williams does not play. I love to see
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: Tyson Bajent play though, because I think he is a
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: decent QB too. Um, as we saw lead, lead the,
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: lead the team down at the final minute. Um, So
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: I'd love to see him play. I just don't know
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: what's going to happen.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: If they call that penalty on the last play of
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: the game, it would have been half the distance, and
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: it would have been an untimed down at the end
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: of the game. Correct. That would have been given. So
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: not to, like.
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: It would have put the Bears at, like, the six-yard
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: line with one more play.
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: That they already got on one more play.
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: So....
• 54:44
  Speaker 4: Oh, man.
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: Here we go.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: I think it could have been a similar situation to
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: the refs mysteriously adding a second to the clock.
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: You are mistaken, Sarah. There is no mystery. Look back
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: at the footage.
• 54:59
  Speaker 5: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: They played a clean and full 60 minutes. Not 59
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: minutes and 59 seconds. Not 60 minutes and one second.
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: 60 minutes.
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: So anyways.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: We heard it here first. Anyways, the Vikings game ended
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: the way it ended. And there wasn't a penalty. And
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: the Vikings won 9-3. That one's in the books. Sorry
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: for your Bears. They're only 1-1.
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: The Bears were 0-2 last year.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: I think there's a lot more to be said for
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: the Bears. They'll recover just fine. I'm excited for the
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: Vikings to be 2-0. Let's look ahead. Week three. The
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: Vikings travel to Tampa Bay. And we've already talked about
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: the Bears playing the Eagles, right? That should be a
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: good game. I'm excited to watch that one, actually. Austin,
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: what are we thinking is going to happen with this
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: Vikings-Bucks game?
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: So I tried to look up some of the betting lines,
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: same that I've done the last couple of games. And
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: I couldn't find any specific stats, you know, predicting stats
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: about any player. But I did see, at least as of,
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: I think, today, the Vikings in Tampa Bay will be apparently,
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: as of right now, favored by a point and a
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: half with an over-under of 42 and a half points.
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: So they're talking about... Only a point and a half?
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: I know, yeah.
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: And if you take that three-point home team... gimme, that
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: means Vegas thinks it'll be about a field goal-ish game. Yeah,
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: I don't really know what to think of this game
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: for the 10th time this episode. I'm going to say
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: we don't really know what the Vikings are, especially with
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: Kyler Murray in there. We haven't seen that offense. We
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: saw 11 plays of pretty bad play of Kyler Murray
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: in the Packer game, and since then, nothing. So we
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: don't know what it should look like. Um, obviously Jordan
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: Mason's out as we, we said earlier. Um, so there's
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: a running back down and then who knows? I mean,
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: Aaron Jones played admirably. Um, he was almost a martyr
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: against the bears. Um, but maybe he's a little gassed
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: right now. So I don't know if we can expect
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: another hundred yard games out of Aaron Jones, especially so
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: soon after that, that tough running game he gave on
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: the ground, uh, in Chicago. Um, I, I just don't know.
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: The Buccaneers were, are they one in one or one
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: of the Browns?
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: They lost to the Browns.
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: So, but the fact is they still have good players. Um,
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: their coaching, you could, you could debate on if it's
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: good coached team or not. Um, but Baker Mayfield, I'd
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: take him over a lot of quarterbacks in the league
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: right now. Um, like Buka is, is a playmaker for sure. Uh,
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: they just, they're, they're, overall a good team and just
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: like the chargers like i said earlier i would expect
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: the buccaneers to end up with a winning record.
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: Definitely i mean nfc not to get in tandem nfc
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: south is is a dumpster fire in general i would
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: expect you know that the bucks will make it at
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: least uh a way to win that division so.
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: We've i think we've said for a few years now
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: it seems like nobody wants to win the nfc south
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: yeah like they just they're all like You win it. No,
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: you win it. No, you win it. I'm going to
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: try really hard not to win it. I'm just going
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: to lose a bunch of games at the end of
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: the season, or I'm going to go 0-5 to start
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: the season, and then I'm going to turn it around
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the season. It just seems like
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: nobody wants to win this stupid division, and it sucks.
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: It is the dumpster fire of divisions in the NFL
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: right now. And what also sucks is there are some
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: historically good teams. The Bucs have been a good team.
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: They've won Super Bowls. The Saints have been good teams.
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: they've won super bowls um.
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: I'll actually all these teams probably in the what the
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: last 12 years have been in the super bowl i
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: think so it's not like it's been like historically.
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: Bad yeah yeah but there's just this like super bowl
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: hangover maybe of like okay well we we built our
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: roster up to a point and then you there's always
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: that turnover when you win a super bowl or you
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: go to a super bowl or even if you're in
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: the playoffs there's just this like significant turnover that's just
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: the way the nfl is nowadays um i'm i'm thinking
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: the vikings go in and just i i think this
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: is an easy win Really?
• 59:30
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to go back on my– well, no,
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: I'm not going back on my prediction. I predicted this
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: was a win. I was wrong about the Vikings losing
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: to the Bears, and I'm happy about that. But I
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: stand by what I said in my preseason picks. I
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: think this is a victory for the Vikings. And it's
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: not just because the Bucs are 0-2, but I think
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: it's because the Bucs' offense hasn't really shown much. Like,
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield has one touchdown. He has one interception. That's
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: not a lot over two games. Like, okay, you got
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: pay dirt one time, and you threw the ball away
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: one time. That's just not a lot for me to see.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: And I think this Brian Flores defense is going to
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: make his life miserable.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: Then you go down the stat sheet, and then you're
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: looking at Bucky Irving, who I have on my fantasy team,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: by the way. So I'm like, I'm rooting for Bucky Irving. Like, okay,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: I need you to play well. 134 yards over two games,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: 25 carries, an average of 5.4 per carry, one touchdown.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not inspiring.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: There's just not a lot of production there over two games.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: Your receivers, you've got Chris Godwin, who has– I'm looking
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: at the wrong thing there. No touchdowns, but he leads
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: the team with eight targets and 86 yards, 12.3 per target.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: Emeka Igbupa, you just mentioned him, only has one touchdown.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: Like this offensive is not, they're not producing, right? There's
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: just not a lot there. And their defense doesn't seem
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: like it's got a lot of teeth either. And I
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: think that's why they're 0-2. So some big names on
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: this team, Alex Anzalone. Antoine Winfield Jr., big names. And
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: then the big names we've already mentioned on offense, Bucky Irving,
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, Kenny Gainwell, Godwin, Egbuka. You got a lot
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: of names. You don't have a lot of production.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: So I'm thinking this is a pretty easy win for
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: the Vikings.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: All right. I do think the Vikings will win as well.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: My preseason picks, the ones that actually matter for purple punishments,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: I predicted a loss. So we're guaranteed a spin next episode.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: That'll be fun. But as of right now, I think
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: the Vikings should win. Recency bias. I think the Vikings
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: are more put together. Now, again, for the thousandth time,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: we don't really know exactly what to think of the
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: Vikings after the Bears game, but they're 2-0. They have
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: shown that they can at least gut it out and
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: hold on as tight as they can for a win,
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: at least recently. So, but in my preseason picks, I
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: also gave a score for every game. I said the
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: Vikings would lose earlier on, and it would be 28-17.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: I still think they'll score something like 17. I think
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: it's going to take a little bit to figure out,
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: even if Kyler Murray ends up good right away, he
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: still hasn't played really for the Vikings, so we're still
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: in the, well, he's got to figure this out on
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: the field. He hasn't really been through a whole game
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: with Kevin O'Connell in his ear trusting the process being
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: through a whole game of having to break the pocket
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: because he's getting blitzed or trusting Justin Jefferson because holy
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: cow he threw it once and he caught it so
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: now I can do that again it's just going to
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: be some more learning for Kyler Murray so that's why
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: I don't think the Vikings are going to score a
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: whole ton of points Will the Thrill is still going
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: to be Will the Thrill and steadfast you can definitely
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: count on him for at least one field goal a
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: game So, yeah, I think the defense is going to
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: be the reason the Vikings end up beating the Buccaneers
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: this week. Score prediction? Oh, I think I said Vikings
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: would score 17. It would be like 17 to 10.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say 24-7 Vikings. Okay. Do you want
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: to predict this game? Do you want to predict the
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: Bears game?
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 3: Well, I kind of already did the Bears not score,
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 3: but I said the Bears would somehow pull it out
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: with three points. So I'll go with your boys' game. Vikings, Bucs,
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: I think, honestly, Tampa Bay is going to find a way.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: They're 0-2, like you said. I'm just not sold on
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: the Vikings yet. I think there's been some benefits on
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: your side, and kudos. I mean, you've made the most
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 3: of them. But I think they somehow find a way
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 3: to win 21-17 Bucs.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: Totally plausible. I mean, like I said, we don't know who.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 3: The Vikings are right now. I mean, Todd Bowles, I think,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: is going to find a way to get his team
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: ready for this one.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: And it is in Tampa Bay.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: It is in Tampa Bay. What time is it? Is
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: it on Sunday?
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: It's at 3 o'clock. 3 o'clock. 3.05 or 3.25, something
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: like that. It's the second slot of the Sunday game.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: Got it.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: Also, I know the Buccaneers game just a few days
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: ago had a long weather delay.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the forecast is supposed to be
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: like right now, but that's always a possibility to affect
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: the game this week.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: It was lightning this last week. And you never know
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: in Florida. They're always dealing with hurricane weather, little pop-up
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: storms that come through.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: Tropical storms.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: All right, I'm pulling it up now. As of right now,
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: it's supposed to be 89 and sunny. to partly cloudy.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: So we'll see. 14% chance of rain. So as of
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: right now, it doesn't look like weather's going to be
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: much of a factor. Hot or wet or anything like that.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: But that can change too.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: But 89 degrees is hot.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: We'll just say that.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: It's hot and humid.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: Especially when you're in full pads and you're expected to
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: go out and perform. But something we know about the
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell Vikings is they won a game in Miami
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: when they were.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: On Oh, yeah, the sideline.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: The sideline, that was like 110 degrees or something ridiculous
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: like that. So, yeah, even though that stadium, Hard Rock
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: Stadium in Miami, is designed for the home team to
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: have the advantage, the Vikings still found a way to win,
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: even though their sideline was like 20 or 30 degrees
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: hotter than the other. So... Austin's laughing because he's scrolling
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: Twitter as he got bored about me talking.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: About the weather.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: No, I was trying to see if anything had happened
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: while we were.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: But he came across the old Caleb Williams. I want
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: to be all right even though I just got a
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: little boo-boo. I think you're more.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 3: Obsessed with Caleb Williams than I am, dude. Yeah, maybe.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: It's just hilarious.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: My favorite caption to that moment was, This is what
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: husbands do after they spend all night sleeping on the
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: couch in the hospital after their wives just gave birth.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: That was the best one that I saw.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: All right, let me ask you this honestly. With all
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: the antics, and I know you don't like Caleb Owens,
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: would you rather have him as your quarterback this year,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 3: knowing who you have on your roster?
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: Provocative question.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, maybe.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: I'll answer that in 16 weeks when.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: We're rehashing the end of the season. Because I think
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: you know, at true form, he can win you some games.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: He could.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 3: You don't feel that way about your QB1.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: No, yeah, but also... You don't feel that way about
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: your QB2. I also don't have to worry about any
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: of their fingernail colors.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: You are right or if they're crying you are exactly
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 3: you do not have to worry about that.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: I i did think this is my favorite one evan maybe.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah let's put that one in there it's uh it's
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 4: the nine meme with j.j mccarthy's face on top of
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 4: caleb williams as he's being carted off that one's my
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 4: favorite um well you texted that one too yeah i
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 4: did it's it's it's good i'll put that one right
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 4: here we'll we'll feature that at the end of the
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 4: episode But I think my feelings and I think your
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 4: feelings might be similar about the Vikings quarterback situation are
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 4: similar to my feelings about beer. And my feelings about
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 4: beer are I'm kind of a no fuss kind of guy.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 4: Like just give me straight good beer and I'm going
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 4: to be a happy guy. It doesn't matter what the
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 4: can art looks like. It doesn't matter what hops were used.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 4: It doesn't matter if it's super this or super that.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 4: Like just give me a good straightforward beer. easy drinking beer,
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 4: and I'm going to be happy. Give me a good,
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 4: straightforward quarterback that can play football, who can manage the
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 4: game well.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. I'm going to be happy.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, regardless of the name of the beer, I'm
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 3: happy about how the beer tastes.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: Sorry, what was the name of this beer again there? Oktoberfest?
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know what that is.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: Well, Evan, I think you described this beer perfectly. it's
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: just a good solid Oktoberfest. Um, the can art does
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: put it over the top for me a little bit, uh,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: and being a really good one.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: I like the black and gold cause that's the school
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: that I work for. Yeah. My high school is black
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: and gold. So I'm, I'm, and that's where we graduated
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: high school. So I'm on board with, I'm on board
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: with the color scheme for sure.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: Perfect.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 3: Like I'll go back to Evans as long as the B2B,
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 3: tastes good you can name it whatever you want there.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: You go all right guys well forest i do appreciate
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: you coming on i know we've had a lot of
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: fun with With the Vikings beating the Bears and the
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: whole horrific career.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: We had everything to do with it.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: You endured us. But just if you've been upset at all,
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: you did get to pie both of us in the face.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 3: I did.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: And you did a really good job.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 3: Thanks.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 3: And I'm going to go home and lick my boo-boos.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: Well, if you stub your toe on the way home.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: You may be way more injured.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 3: No, this is my emotional boo-boos. Oh, okay.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: Well, your emotional boo-boos may be way worse than what
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: Caleb Williams experienced. And for that reason, I hope he
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: gets torn apart online for the rest of eternity. There
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: is no really coming back from this. He would have
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: to save.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: As long as he plays good ball, I don't give a.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: He would have to save a hundred puppies from burning
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: building to really come back from this.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: Not 99 puppies. That's not enough. But, yes, I do
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: appreciate you coming on. And I love every time you're on,
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: whether it's Bears-Vikings or draft time, which I think we
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: dropped the ball. I don't think you were on draft time.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 3: No, I think it was one time during draft time.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, were you?
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: All right.

  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, thanks for coming on.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: Appreciate it. Always enjoy the invite. Always enjoy having a
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 3: good few laughs, some good beer, good conversation. even if
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 3: we don't always agree, but it's fun to talk football
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: with you guys.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: For sure.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: Well, this was a really great beer. Really good conversation.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: You might say the best episode yet, maybe.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: Could be. Skol. Yeah.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
