• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to be here. I'm always loved Minnesota. I
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: did my last comedy special there. I always love playing
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: up there. And my football team has broken my heart
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: so much that the Vikings are, you know how you
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: always have to have like the second team because I'm
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: a Falcons fan. I grew up in Atlanta, but they've
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: gutted me so bad that the Vikings are my fallback team.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: And my youngest daughter married into a family of insane scoldiers,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: so you guys are my backup team. So this actually,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: this weekend's kind of hard for me.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: So as your son, And is he from Minnesota originally
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: or is he one of these places that his family
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: was and then they grew up somewhere else.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: He and his forty five cousins, all of their aunts
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and uncles are from Minnesota.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I'm catching strays with that one. Jeff as a man
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: who's got a mom with eight brothers and sisters, and
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I have a but you hit it on the head.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Is he Swedish too? Is he a giant Nordic Swedish person.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Now he's Irish poorly, but they're all they're all Minnesota people.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I mean they're Twins fans, they're Vikes fans. He's taught
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: my grandson. He's three now, but I found him last year.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: He's two years old, two years old, down at my
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: farm in the middle of a field, and I videotaped
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: him singing the Vikings fight song.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Two years old, every word of it, at.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: The top of his lungs with it. Because we had
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: to negotiate because he was a Vikings and a Notre
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Dame fan.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Another one that would break your heart.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: And I was a Bulldogs and a Falcons fan, so
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: two more that break your heart. So before he was born,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: we had serious negotiations and who was going to get
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the college team and one was gonna get pro and
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: one was gonna get college.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I think you made the right decision.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: I think I did too.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: But now, like in pro, the NFC North is like
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the SEC.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: In the NFC South, it's kind of like the Sun Belt.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Now, yeah, there's a little easier.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Nobody wants to win the conference.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Are they down? Are they near you in Atlanta?
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah?
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Do you guys get together or do you commiserate afterwards.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: It depends on how big the game is. If it's
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: a really big one, he'll go into a shell. And
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: he's got a one year old and a three year old,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: so I kind of clear space for him. I'm running
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: like his wing and he'll tell me first the wait
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: look Sunday, I gotta have I gotta be all it.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Can you take the kids?
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: You're his NFL babysitter wing man.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got footage of him, like when the Vikings
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: win in the last second.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Well, I was with him in the car the other
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: day when he lost his mind.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: But this dude like rips his shirt off, is out
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: in the front yard beating past screaming skull. He loses
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: his mind and then like in eighteen I can't remember
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: who they lost to, but he announced he was going
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: on a hunger strike. He was as down as I've
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: ever so I literally I went to Honey Baked Ham
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: and got him a Honey Baked Ham sandwich and soup
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: and took.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: It over there. So he was sick.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: So he yeah, like he has pneumonia because the Vikings lost,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and I'm in there like, dude, you got to eat,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: you got to eat. Now I will tell you this
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: as an outsider looking in Okay, probably as a Vikings fan,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: and it's it's a lifetime of frustration. But I think
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: other people look at y'all is one of the top
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: tier football.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Teams because you have been.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Always think of the Vikings like the Vikings. Oh, the
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Vikings are good. The Vikings are good. I never think
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: of them as a bad team. I always think of
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: the Vikings as being good. But it's like you.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Get right up to the top of the thing and
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: then find a way.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: To fall off the mountain. We hang out on the mountain,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: but we like to fall out.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys, you've got that falcon thing where they
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: know how to break your heart. Yeah, you guys are
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: such good fans. You'll come back the next week and
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: you know, be right there. But maybe this is the year.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, your defense, your defense is so much better
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: wild and this I think this iteration of the Vikings.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: This team has hard and and to me, that's the
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: difference in great teams and teams that aren't.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: That both the belief in those moments that you're going
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: to figure it out.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: And I think this team has that more than the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Vikings have had in recent years. Dude, I don't think
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: there's anybody that wouldn't take your head coach. I think O'Connell.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, what a great surprise. He's been right and
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: hell I would take him today. Nothing again Raheem Morris.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: But I think he's going to be around for a
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: long time. And I I just feel like you guys
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: are on the on the right track.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: It's weird, it's and it's funny until you win the
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: big one for the first time, which neither of us
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: have experienced. I think you don't trust anything. And so
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: even at ten and two, you feel this interesting. I
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: was home over Thanksgiving spending time, I was at the
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: game on Sunday. You feel this odd combo energy of
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: this is so great? Oh no, how's it going to end?
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: It just permeates through people.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Well see, I'm that way, like I'm a Georgia Bulldogs fan.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: So we we had not won the Natty since nineteen
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: eighty with herschel Walk, forty one years, and you know,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: then we played Bamman like seventeen and they in overtime
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: beat us, and then the Falcons turn around twenty eight
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: to three and lose.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: It's like, so I actually I was not going to
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: go to the Bulldogs. I'm like, all right, I've wasted
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: too much money going to these games.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: But in twenty one when they.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Played in Indianapolis, and then like the week of the game,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: me and my brother and my two buddies couldn't stand it.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: And so we drive up.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: To Indianapolis and we win the Natty and I told
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: my I called my son in law. I said, it's
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: worth it for all the heartbreak, this may be the
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: greatest moment of my life. And you guys, see, I'm
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: old enough to remember as a kid the Purple People
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Eaters and it was like, you guys just kept going
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl and could never win it. And
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: and then I was it ninety nine.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Into ninety nine when you guys, when you guys crushed
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: my soul as a child.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Well, we had to come up there and play you there,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: and I thought, we're going to get our teeth kicked in.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: There's so much better than us, That's what.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: But that's what I've been telling everybody this year when
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: they worry that the egos are the lions, and I
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: got you just never know in one game if you're
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: if you're some version of good, you just never know.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, especially you know, that's kind of what I'm going
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: through in college this season with Georgia, because they can
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: look unbeatable and they can look horrible. Because we were
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: talking about it and I thought, you know, the Lions
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: are playing so good that it's probably going to end
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: up being the Falcons.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: And the Bikes in the playoffs.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: In the playoffs, and so Arthur Blank invited me and
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: my son in law Brendan down to watch the game.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: And he's so funny because he's.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Sitting there at the I mean, we're in Arthur Sweet
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: on the fifty yard line and he's watching the Bikes
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: on his phone between his legs, and so I'm like, dude,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: let's go, Let's go watch Kirk and because this is
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: gonna end God, we played awful last week like the Chargers,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: and just just so now.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: I don't know, the Bucks are on a roll.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: So yeah, maybe you guys end up with the Bucks,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: but what do you guys have won like five straight.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: I really like this football team.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: And I like Darno.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: You know, when Matt Ryan when we were going through
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: all that, and he was kind of the guy I
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: always thought this guy hasn't shown what he can do.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: I think he's better, and obviously he is.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, Koc is like a such a good quarterback,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: and so when Sam went to you guys, I thought, well,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: at least he's going to get a fair shot with
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: a good team to see if and I think he's
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: been fabulous this year.
• 10:24

  Speaker 5: does the carpet match the drapes? That's where everybody wants
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: to know.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: It's very I'm oscillating between guy in a cult and
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: guy you wouldn't want to be your wife's yoga teacher.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: That's where I have entered into the era where I
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: am wearing one of these women's headbands like a European
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: soccer player. And it's not you would not like the
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: version of me that exists right now. Absolutely not.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: Well I'll tell you who would love that. What's your
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: mascot's name? The Viking.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna get fired for my show, Victor Victor, the Victor,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: the Viking.
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, but you know it's like, you know, the
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: Clippers have like what Paulie the pair It or Peter
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: the Plican.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Or something that has nothing to do with clipping.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they should move to Seattle anyway.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: The only one I remember is the Chargers mascot, which
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: is Bolt, who's a lightning bolt that when you take
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: his glasses off, looks like he's been huffing dried up
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: red bull.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: Like it's well, who hasn't done that.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a wild He's a wild looking dude.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: I mean, let me ask you this, Sam.
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: When I was in uh Minnesota in September, and you know,
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: he was maybe two games. You guys were maybe three
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: and oh or or four to oh, and you were
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: definitely rolling. And but it was so early that he
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: was like, you know, we we we love it here
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: and you know we we don't know everyone's telling me
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: to brave for the winner, and we don't know what
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: we're getting ourselves into. But but he's like, you know,
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: it's great, We're clicking. Jefferson's one of the best, you
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: know guys I've ever played with, and kept saying how
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: he got his PhD in football at San fran and
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: just really you know, grew up and matured and learned that,
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: like because I was like I keep hearing this on
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: in the meeting. Yeah, but like when you hear from
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: a source and he's like, well, dude, I just like
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: got to a place was like, oh, I don't have
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: to like force things and like it's okay to like
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: eat the ball or throw it away and like get
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: it on the next one. He's like, but everybody, you
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: feel so much pressure to like make something happen on
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: every play, and he's like, once I kind of like
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: subscribe to that.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: It's kind of calmed him down.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: And and and you know, obviously like faith and trust
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: to be able to sit in the pocket like that
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: goes a long way. But he was like, uh, yeah,
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: we'll see. He's like, I gotta keep balling out and
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: they got to want to like keep me. So I
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: can't imagine the conversation over there is anything but how
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: much and how long? Because like, and you know, it's
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: not like you have to get rid of McCarthy, but
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: unless you want to trade him to my Seahawks. But like,
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: if you guys didn't resign Sam, I would I would.
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: I think I would think the fan base would be like, what,
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: what's the move here?
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: It's really interesting because I mean, he has universal like
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: approval rating here and as he should, and it's been
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: so so fun to watch him play. I remember, you
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: know you're talking September. I remember being at camp this
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: summer and this is before it's open to the public.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: His presence was one of, Oh, this is just a dude.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: This is just a dude who like I'm I mean,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: unassuming in the best way, right. He could walk by
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: you in a hallway with a couple of other players
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: and it wouldn't like switch the room, you know what
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: I'm saying. He was just there. You could tell he
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: came in really excited off of San Francisco to be
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: in a situation with koc Here. It's almost amazing to
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: think it's the same a similar offense as the last
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: couple of years. Because when you see this dude's arm
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: as somebody who loves a comeback and like a vindication story. Dude,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: it's so cool. I can't imagine there's a guy in
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: the NFL and I'm biased, but that that has a
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: better route for him. Fact.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, dude, yeah he I mean he also just
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: is doubt in.
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: I mean I tried to get him to go to
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: the show on that Friday night before you guys were
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: in Green Bay and and he was like, dude, I
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: gotta be asleep by nine because we got this in
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: the MO And I was just like, dude, get after it, man.
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: I mean, he just was like, he was showing us
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: plays and he read a few and they made no sense.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: I mean, he read one play that he would read
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: in the huddle.
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: And it was like qx five you know, qan On
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: Panera times five, Baron Trump, bar mitzvah sidekick break.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: And I was like, dude, there's no way I can
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: remember any of that.
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: And he said it's so articulately and casually, and I
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: was like, man, this like but I guess it's like,
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: you know, it's a comedy. Like he's probably like, how
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: do you memorize your jokes? How do you write an act?
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: How do you whatever?
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: But I know how you know, well, revered Sam is,
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: but yeah, he's he's just a bud man.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: The other reason people need to go to your Instagram
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: is cause your homeboy, Sam Darnold literally is wearing an
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Adam Ray as Doctor Phil hooded sweatshirt on his way
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: to the Monday night white out game against Chicago Bears.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: I know, like, you get to this point where your
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: career grows, you get to do these cool thing Steelers do,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: it's still gotta be a weird moment, like because they
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: just become your friends and stuff. You're like, hey, the
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: starting NFL quarterback, who's you know, weren't it not for
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen is probably the in the MVP conversation right now,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: just has my silly comedy hooded sweatshirt on that hat.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: That's such a cool thing when you think about who
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: you were as a kid and where you are now.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's cool.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: But it's also he's a big comedy fan, so it's like,
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: you know, it's he had been following me for a
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: little bit when we first met, and so for him too,
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: he takes ownership and seeing me kind of you know,
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: have a cool last couple of years and just you know,
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: have things kind of elevating a more fun direction. And yeah,
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: and so and I'm you know, almost like a supportive
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: mom the way I messaged him sometimes after certain things
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: that he does. And yeah, that was a sweet shout out.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: And he was looking like a snack, so that didn't hurt.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: You know, got to show the people of Minnesota that,
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: you know, Aaron Rodgers isn't the only you know, guy
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: out there that's that you know, looks like you could
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: be Brad Pitt's cousin. Yeah, it's it's awesome, man. And
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: the doctor Phil Merch is so fun and it's trying
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: to get Sammy to stick around hopefully and pop by
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: that Orpheum show. But he might be back in the
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: OC at that point. But but who knows, if you
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: guys take care of business, he might just you know,
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: he might just.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: They might just have to pave cement over him and
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: turn him into a statue.
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying, Dude, put the statue down now
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: and let him know how much.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: You care if the Vikings ever win a Super Bowl
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: and if there's any sort of defining moment in that
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl run, the amount of like I think there'll
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: be a city council moving like we're gonna do a
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: lot of statues. We're just gonna, you know, it'll look
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: like when they dig up like those terra Cotta warriors
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: and an ancient civilization. That's what Minneapolis will look like
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: when somebody finds our city fifty thousand years from now.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just a bunch of Sam Darnold's just with their
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: you know, just with their their helmet in their hand
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: all over the place.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Dude.
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: It's also cool that, you know, Sam, you know, looks
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: like he's not old enough to be in the you know,
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: stadium without his parents, so that I think growing the
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: beard was a sweet move on his part.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Everyone moved.
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: When you have a beard like that and you still
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: got like, you know, a young, affable vibe to you.
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: But Sam's got this clean cut, you know, California vibe
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: too that I think everyone's vibing with. And there is
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: a laid back style to him as a person that
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: definitely I see translating on the field ob asolutely.
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: He's in go mode. You guys are lucky, you know.
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: I always ask people this when you get close and
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: don't make it, would you rather that or like not
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: even have that? Because like the Seahawks, we've gone. I
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: think we went ten years in a row to the
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: playoffs with Russ after the Super Bowls and it was
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: awesome because every Sunday mattered, and that's all I asked
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: for as a fan is like to be in a
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: place to where like you can watch the games and
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: actually get a little emotionally invested, which is tricky for fans.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: I remember when the Seahawks won the first Super Bowl
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: in twenty thirteen and I went with my boy Brad Williams,
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: who's a dire Broncos fan. He's also a Dwarf, and
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: was sitting there and it was like fifteen to nothing,
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: and then Percy Harvin ran back the kickoff to start
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: the second half.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: Brad looks down.
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: I take a picture he was about to cry, and
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: he goes, you might not want to post that. If
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: a Dwarf cries at the super Bowl and it's public,
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: it's seven years bad luck. And I was like, so funny,
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: And I forgot how emotionally invested you get into your
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: team as a fan to where I was like accepting
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: partial responsibility.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: People were like, dude, congrats on the super Bowl. Congrats.
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: I had no problem accepting partial like response, I was like, dude,
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: thank you man. Those fifteen beers I had a half
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: I think gave Marshawn the extra boost he needed. But
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: you guys probably have that same delusion where you're like,
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: we are a reason the team stays consistent.
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: But I also think that there's a lot of truth
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: to that. You know.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: To go back to your original question, which would I
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: rather have? I think I'd rather be close because I'm
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: like you, I like to be invested in something you know,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: because otherwise you get apathetic. But I also think the
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: secondary answer to that, which is something that you have,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: it's something that I have ownership that cares about the
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: community and winning.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Right, that's all that sports is. And so I think
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: more than getting close, I think having an ownership group
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: that actually is invested in winning a title and building
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: in the community in a way, because you hear that
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: with the Seahawks, people like to go be a part
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: of that organization. They really like the way people talk
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: about the Vikings organization. That to me is the big
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: deal and the thing that allows you to reinvest because
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: you're like, well, at some point it has to work out.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Now you here's my question back to you, because you
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: won that Super Bowl and then all of a sudden,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: it's like you guys entered into this almost new era.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: We're like, well, they're kind of just one of the
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: franchises that they might have to rebuild, but they'll be back.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: You're just expected to be there. I mean, where were
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: you at before that in that same regard, because it
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: was just years of misery with one Hasselbeck miss like
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: you were us with less of a long history before
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: that Super Bowl.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you don't have a winning history.
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: That super Bowl in twenty five against the Steelers that
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: was clearly rigged for Jerome Bettis to.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: Walk off into the sunset.
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: And even my Steeler fans know that and will admit
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: it slightly, but nobody cared about the Seahawks. We were
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: small markets, still our small market team, but it's the
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: one sport where we have made more of a splash
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: in the zeitgeist, but at least for the Northwest. But yeah,
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: it was a weird time because you're such a diehard fan,
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: but you're also so aware of like, oh, we're just
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: not there.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: We have a lot of holes on the team.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: And getting Marshawn was like a big deal. I don't
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: think it was like a huge signing, but it was
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: a big It's like a back.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: To the future timeline shift getting him.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, totally.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: Seattle people are now so you live and die. We
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: also are just craving a super Bowl that will wash
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: away twenty fourteen.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: You're the king, dude. This means a lot. Thank you
• 22:02
