  Speaker 1: I hope you enjoy it.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Recket Reckett, I'm here.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Joining us to discuss this week's opponent, the San Francisco
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers. We have the great Al Madrigal and
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: David Huntsberger. Guys, I think there's an easy place to
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: start here, and I think we can all just take
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: a moment and enjoy not just that you beat our
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: common enemy Aaron Rodgers once again this past Monday. But
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: there was this specific moment in the first half where
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: he threw a dart and then he had that grin
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: on his face kind of like I'm a cowboy that
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: still knows how to ride like the little wink, and
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: then he was terrible like and then you guys just
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: whooped him the rest of the game. That was a
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: nice for me as an outside observer. I really enjoyed
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: what happened on Monday.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: He threw that amazing pass to Gear Wilson's that we
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: were talking about what a receiver to have. I mean,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: it was just in the perfect spot in his hands,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: and that was an incredible throat. He's forty years old.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: You can't expect to keep it going for that long.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: And I just hope he doesn't.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: I did, yeah, same, I hope it eventually ends where
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: it's like a character in a show where you're just
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: kind of like, all right, you've run your course, Like
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: kill his character off. Don't kill him, but just have
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: him leave this entertainment world of NFL football where he
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: seems to grab a lot a lot of gravity. People
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: seem to care what he's saying in that throw, and
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: that I was at the games, he might not have
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: seen his little smirk to the camera like.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Boy, I still got it.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: It just was a very likew like you were saying,
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: like a gunfighter, I can still hit that nickel. And
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: then the end of the game fourth and one, you
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: gotta have it behind him low away. No one brings
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: out that it was a terrible throw. They were like, oh,
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: the dB got there a half shade early. It was
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: a horrible throw. The tailor Tyro Taylor made the exact
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: same throw. At the end of the game, I gets
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: the same dB on the same route touchdown. It was
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: the right place to put it, And that was a
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: microcosm of like Rogers was it two or three years
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: ago with the Packers has this amazing comeback.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Leads to a field goal. He's skipping down the field
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: after big throws.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: He's laughing as he goes to the sideline, skip ahead
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: to the playoffs, just absolutely crushed, just on the sideline, disheveled, sad,
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: s dour. That's the Aaron Rodgers experience. When it doesn't
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: really matter that much, he's smirking and winking it up,
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: and when it does matter, he's he's sad.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: It does have that vibe of how come I'm watching
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Ed Helms be the boss for the third straight season.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: That's what it feels like to me watching Aaron Rodgers
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: trot out for the Jets. I'll tell you this, I'm
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: not a big like talker. Even as I was growing
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: up and I was becoming a huge sports fan and
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: you guys were dominating, there was something cool about San Francisco,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Jerry Rice, Joe Montana, and Steve Young. So I've never had,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: despite your success, any animosity towards the Niners.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: I think we both I mean and I like the Vikings,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: you know, even though they're in there's there's certain teams
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: and I've been to the stadium and been to Minnesota,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: you know quite a bit for stand out. Everyone's cool.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: It's it's it's you're you guys are hard to dislike.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: To tell you the truths.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: You spend a little time with us is what it takes.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: It's it's been interesting. Yeah. I did a bunch of
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: daily show stuff when we were in Minneapolis, and it's
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: just it's unlike anything else. It's just shocking. It's like
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: such a culture shock for me to go there because
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: I remember being in McDonald's and I was driving tanks
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: in Like I want to say, Cassoda is that away.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of Oda's, so it's got to be
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: a place.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah and soda and there's a place where you can
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: ride around with a chicken a bikini while you're driving
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: a tank. And then I took that rush to Saturn's.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: I think the piece is called tanks for the memories
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: and because we don't need tanks, but we still make
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: a bunch of tanks. It's the United States government just
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: makes a bunch of tanks, but they're useless and they're
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: just sitting in a field somewhere. So I got to
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: drive in this tank. It was amazing. But I went
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: to McDonald's before. And when you walk into and Huntsburg,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: you sis, when you're traveling, when you walk into a
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: McDonald's in Minnesota and it is a one Caucasian staff,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: you like check the door, make sure that like time has.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: You're not a Jordan Peele Moody all of a sudden.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Like you walk in because in Los Angeles, anywhere
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: in California, where Texas, most places it's like it is
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: one Latina, like pretty much like they have a Latina workforce.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: And I walk in there and I go, yeah, could
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: I get a two sausage make griddles? And then the
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: lady goes, uh, oh, sure, that's a great choice. You're
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: gonna love the burst of pancake flavy. I'm like, what
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: is happening? This is insane. I couldn't believe. We're like yeah,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: but yeah, it's hard hard people not to like.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Let me let you in a little secret. Alice, one
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: of those Minnesota whites who has been no exaggeration fired
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: from the same McDonald's three different times. Whatever you think
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: you see whatever, Like, we're fine, we're having a nice time. Man,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: we just really are gonna we're gonna take that home
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: with us. We're gonna remember your face and we're not
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: We're gonna probably not even let it out on our deathbed.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: I've learned in the last few years, each fan base
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: has its own like truly its own personality. Like I've
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: always said, Packer fans are so fascinating because they're like
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: a trust fund kid who thinks the world is out
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: to get them, that thinks they have like a raw deal.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: They're like the NFL hates us, You the guy who
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the trophy is named after. I don't think that's right
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: at all.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: It's ridiculous.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Minnesota, is you know the the Browns are the true
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Charlie Brown. We think we're Charlie Brown, but we're so
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: desperate to win that we're always grabbing on to hope.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: So there's something about our psychology where we're not gonna
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: go to a place where a teams won a bunch
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: of titles and had Joe Montana and Jerry Rice and
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: pop up off back. I'm worried the moment we get
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: that first title. If you try to hackle some of us,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be Oh I was.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: It was in the stadium. I think I'm when it
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: was a season opener about six years ago. I want
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: to say it was the Niners, and I went to
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: that game, went to Murray's the night before, hung out
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: with all the San Francisco Beat reporters, got blind drunk,
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: and then we go into tailgate Minnesota Vikings. Tailgate took
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: us in immediately, No, you know you're wearing the wrong
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: you know nothing, just like took us in. And then
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: I was at the game without incident, and just at
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: the end of the game, there's a drunk guy just
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: looked at me and he goes yah, and oh there
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: you go. All right, fine, here are you? Thank God
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: it's not a game somebody has called me.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: David came to the Niners Vikings game last year with
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Chad Daniels and Kelsey Cook and they he got a
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: first class seat to an overflow of San Francisco emotions
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: with a bunch of outrageously overly polite Viking things.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that's how I would describe it.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: It was roughly that I was to my left was
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: I would say there were six total people. One of
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: them or maybe two or three. The two or three
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: behind me to the left were quiet Vikings fans. The
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: kid right next to me was he was one of
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: those people that's an absolute nightmare to be next to.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: He would say to me, I'm so sorry, it's my
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: first game, and I'd be like, yeah, but you don't
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: have to be like this. But he was just up
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: every second and with his arms out, so I watched
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: most of the game through his elbow. He's like sweating on,
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: he's got a shirt off. They eventually kicked him out
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: at the end of the game. And all these nice
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Minnesota fans are around us, and behind us are four
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: or five terrible Niners fans, So that hurt. One of
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: this group was really representing football in general great. And
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: it's one of those games you go to You're like,
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: I don't like being in public. I don't want to
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: be around people. This is so miserable. And yet I'm
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: looking out the whole stadium and I'm really squinting and like,
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: this is the only situation like this. It is fifty
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: thousand nice people and this lunatic next to me. It
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: was so unfair. And then he got caught vaping and
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: that was so minor. That was maybe in the second
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: or third quarter.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Stadium. I didn't seem vapy.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Get it.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Get it.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: They make him walk it down and toss it down
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: like near the mascot and the cheerleaders, and he goes
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: back to his seat and he continues to just be
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: a sports fan and he's doing nothing. That's like he's
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: being a little vulgar. And you know, there's kids around seven.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: He's yelling some some gnarly stuff.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: We're like, all right, it's the early lines. One of
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: the Larry David's early lines from Kurby Your Enthusiassm is
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: that I find your exuberance a little overwhelked.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that is.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: If I could have just said that to him quietly,
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: he would have spitting all for me, waking up tequila.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Oh no, bro, but it's my first game.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: I gotta back up on his feet, elbow in my face.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: And then like mid early mid fourth quarter, they just
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: come and like grab him, like you're done. It would
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: have taken one fan Vikings or otherwise to go. He's okay,
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: and everyone's politely stared ahead.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Like, honestly, what's happening here? I don't know what.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: No one got his back and not really said a
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: lot about how everyone felt about him, because it did
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: feel like, I don't know if this is enough to
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: get kicked out. It's annoying. I don't like this experience,
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: but he paid to get here.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: When I go to opposing team stadium, I am extremely respectful.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: I will not stand up and celebrate. I put fist
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: bump my buddy sitting down next to me. I'm not.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: There's no audible take that I'm not. There's zero opposite
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: a tomp, the utmost respect for I'm in your house
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: because I hate it when people Because I've been going
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: to the Niner game since i was five years old,
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: and I've been to a endless games of Candlestick. We
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: sat in a pretty rough section. I had blood on
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: my handrailed for a long time, and I used to
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: escort my father out when he was a little old man.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: If we played the Raiders in a preseason game, look
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: up news articles from forty nine Ers Raiders preseason Candlestick.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: It was like a sporting event in the movie Predator too.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: I got the mowing guys smashing the dude's head against
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: the sink. Somebody die.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they had to discontinue that series because of that.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't have that game.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: It was one of the it does that, one of
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: those games where people were all just like, we're gonna
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: go there and fight. That's what we're that's what you're saying.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like our gang versus your gang, and it's brutal.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: It's this Bay Area. You know, the Niners got labeled
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: wine and cheese fans a long time ago, which is
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: hilarious because we're incredibly violent and it's upsetting wasted people.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, I was in the parking lot for this Jets.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: I went to the Jets Niners game, and it is
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: rowdy that the Niners who are actually trying to organize
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: all the tailgaing and restrict people from parking together. You
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: have to be ushered to your spot. And meanwhile in
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Buffalo they're like jumping off roots on the folding tables
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: and we're like, they're trying to restrict it because people
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: just go huge and then get into the game and
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: they're wasted.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Do you let me ask you this because I know
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: both you guys have been around. So we have a
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: mutual friend, Scott Kegley, who was at the Niners, who
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: organized some some of the events that you guys I
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: think took part in a long time ago. He was
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: a Viking employee for a while. And I have now
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: they have made the mistake of letting me be around
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the team for a few years, and I don't handle
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: it well. Al, you have not only gotten to be
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: around the team, you have gained access to being in
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: front of your owner and other own Like I want
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: you to tell me about that, because I don't know
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: that a lot of people know about that. But also
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I'm fascinated. There's no way I survive that. There's no
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: way I handle it like an adult. Every time I
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: go to a game on Sunday to work, Like when
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I had to get Chad and David onto the field,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: I'm walking through the field being like, just don't just
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: don't go out there and snag a pass, Like I'm
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: I have to talk myself through being close to stuff
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: because I'm a maniac.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm as a lifelong fan. This is a huge
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: dream of mine. But I got the cole and Huntsburg
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: who was there when this was happening, because we met
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: probably in two thousand and six or seven, maybe sounds Dave.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: When you look over my house and you can I
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: bring my buddy who's a Packer fan. What did I say?
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: I think I just wanted to sit there quietly, and
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: you're like, I can't have a Packer fan in my house.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: And I was like, I like this guy. I really
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: respected that. Like, I'll, you know, test that line. Oh, yeah,
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: everyone's welcome.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: I didn't say everyone was welcome.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: I didn't know you. So I'm like, hey, man, my
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: buddy lives in the area. He wants to watch the game,
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: and you're like, can't have them in my house?
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Like I like that. And then we went.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: I took another buddy of mine who also was a
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: fan of a different team. We go to a tailgate
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: with your whole family, but you weren't there that time,
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: and my buddy Jake shows up.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, a giant in a.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: Giant skier and your family as if they had like
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: they just have this ready for anyone. In that moment,
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: he reaches into the cooler grab they go no, no, no, man,
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: this is for you. They opened a different cooler and
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: hand him like a Mickey's or like a cold forty five,
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: so really rough at ten am.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: It was so great.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's why I was so amazing. When you
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: go to Minnesota, everyone's like super nice handing you like
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: their regular beers, like we had, like like no, you
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: only drink Mickeys.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: I like that though.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: I think it adds to if you're gonna buy into
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: this whole, like camaraderie and community and like you know,
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: then soccer, they were the scarves and they go beat
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: people up in alleys over like a game where you
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: can't use your hands.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Go full tilt. They'll get into it.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Used the speed roast people when they would walk by
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: because we were in our tailgate spot, wasn't it. We're
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: near an entrance, so people just walk through us. And
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: I remember this guy walks by with the Donovan McNab
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: jersey next to a guy in a Jeff Garcia jersey,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: and they were buddied.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: I hate like two friends who were oh, we're friends
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: with the opposing team. They walk in together and I
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: remember like five plus five equals get out, like just
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: ripping on everybody as they walk by. My brother had
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: a blue Healer, one of those Australian shepherd dogs, like
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: a hunting dog. Yeah, at the tailgate, So we would
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: seek the dog on people he could, he could, that
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: dog would bite on command because they're so smart, and
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: so he would just would send them to attack people. Yeah,
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: we were horrible anyway.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: It's a really reasonable response.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, attack them. But that guy, this guyt Elway Jersey,
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: just wants to get into the game. This is a
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: bit by a dog on the way and guys drinking
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: country club liquor. All right. I get a phone call
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: from our friend Steve Simone. He's like my buddy from
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: the Eagles, and I guess he was at the Chiefs before.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: This great guy Rob Alvarna, Rob has Me, Dave Dan
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Soder who's hilarious, and Dan and Tommy John Agan do
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: these pieces for Levi Stadium, like telling people how to
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: be fans, because when you switch stadiums, all these new
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: people show up with the seat licenses and you're like, hey, morons,
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: don't scream on offense. When we're on offense, you shut up.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: So we made a bunch of instructional videos for people
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: that are going to be going to the stadium when
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: we're on defense, you scream.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Which to go to the like size thing. Oh we're
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: fan base.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: We could this pageantry, this this legacy of five Super Bowls,
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: Like it's always turnover. There's always new people that show up, like, oh,
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: we got these new seats, what do we do? They's
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: screaming on third down. So yeah, we had to make
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: these like educational videos, like stop being idiots at the stadium.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: You're ruining the experience.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: So we make a bunch of those. Then I get
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: the nod to roast Trent Balki on his fiftieth birthday
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: party up at some San Jose Silver Creek country Club
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: and Jed York is there. My opening line murders and
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: but Keena Turner is there. Tom Rathman is there. I
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: had jokes for scouts. Doug Wilson, the GM of the
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: San Jose Sharks, is famous Chicago Blackhawk is in the
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: audience because he's friends with Trent, and so I knew
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: who was going to be there and just killed. I
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: knew that Trent was fighting with Jim Harbaugh at the time. So,
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: and this is a long time ago. My opening joke was, hey, ready,
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: before we start, a couple of announcements. Jim Harbaugh cannot
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: be here tonight. He's on a Disney cruise with his family,
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: where I have it on good authority that he's already
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: made Goofy cry twice. And he tried to sign Peter
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Pan as a four string quarterback, which is ridiculous because
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: we already have Colt McCoy. How many Peter Pans do
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: we need? And we were like, oh, Trent Dilford just goes,
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: oh whoa okay, Like they just loved it. They were
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: in and I might jokes for I did an impression
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: of Trent Balki, which I don't think I can pull
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: off right now. Or oh yeah, it's like doings macho man.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: No, it's more like super Daily. Here's the thing. You
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: gotta bring it down here, real wreck.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: If he'd answer his own questions, didn't you give me this?
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: He would answer his questions. Yeah.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: Everything was phrased with a question. And so I was
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: a big fan of things like will you marry me?
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: That's a great question. You could say yes, you could
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: say no, like.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: He would never ever ever, like, hey, is this kid
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: that you got in the fifth round?
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: You like him? Could he be a star? Absolutely does
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: he have some health concerns.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he might so had jokes for Jed York. I
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: go Jed, let's hear for Jed York. Jed went to
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: Notre Dame. One of my mom owns a football team, scholarship. Congratulations,
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: I'm being the most successful guy named Jed the second
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: up as a meth dealer and friends.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: Now this is like shortly before they started flying a
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: plane above the stadium saying fire. Jed and and our
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: lifelong family had the best advice. Is just like I
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: think from either your dad or your grandfather, was like,
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: it just goes on and on. You're gonna see this,
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: You're gonna see the highs. Just hang in there because
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: people were like turning their backs toward the owner, toward everyone,
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: and I'll just like stay true to the organization. And
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: I feel like that was so smart and hard for
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: a lot of people to do.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: I knew he wanted to win. I knew the guy
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: wanted to win.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: So it's like, did you feel like was it one
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: of those things when you when you went in with
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: the jokes and you start crushing immediately. Because there's there's
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: two things that can happen when sports and comedy get together,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: either the greatest thing in the world happens or the
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: worst thing in the world happens, and you find you
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: have experiences, you find out pretty cool. So the moment
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: you did you feel from that first joke, they just
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: like Bulky was in. They all got it, and then you.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Just they loved me. I was riffing like a bunch
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: of trance friends from Minnesota because he's up near Benjamin orje.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Bemidgi, let's call it that. It's definitely Bemidgie. But I
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: love but Jimmy.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: But Jimmy, the Miidgie just too north for me. I'm
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: looking more in Brain or round Lake.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: So you're like, I won't see him for months, Like
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: what are you up to?
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Man?
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: He's like, I have this property, app where's this? And
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: then you know my partner is from Minnesota. She's like, oh,
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: there's nothing around there.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: To everyone listening, Al is seriously looking at property in
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Minnesota from time to time.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: He's like, it's a compound.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: So I think it was bikers that got seized by
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: the ATF, but the compounds for sale.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: I find so many lakefront hotels that me and like
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: me and a bunch of my comedy writer friends are like, okay,
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: there's eight of us. There's an eight cab, so.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: This is it.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: We have fresh water, we're gonna put solar. Like, yeah,
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: we're just idiots. So anyway, I kill I'm riffing a
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: bunch of his friends from the Meggie did it?
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: That one was good?
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: The Meggie are there and I go there laughing at
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Jed's expense, and I go, don't laugh at Jed's expense.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: He'll his family will buy a mall near where you
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: live and shut it down, just because that's only you
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: can from like mall money. The Yorks were the first
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: guys to the Bartolows were from Canton and Youngstown and
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: then all, yeah, it's like a mall family like his.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: I think his grandfather had, like they invented the malls.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: They had all money. So then I get a couple
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: other gigs from them. I roast the owners before Super
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: Bowl fifty, all the owners, all the owners, which is insane,
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: that's wild. This is the lineup Jeremy Renner, me, Steve
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: miller Band and I'm sitting with Robert Kraft and his
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: like forty year old girlfriend that I'm sitting next to
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: the CEO of PEPSI. And then I also have less
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: Membez and Julie Chan at my table. And then Robert
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Kraft's bodyguard is next to me, and I look at
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: him and I go, hey, can I run some jokes
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: by real quick? I go, I was gonna open up
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: three minutes. I was gonna talk about my kids. And
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: he goes me. He goes, can I be honest with you?
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: And I go, yeah, sure, he goes, no one wants
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: to hear about your kids? And good, all right. So
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Jeremy Renner goes up kind of eats it, but he's
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: the coolest dude ever. I mean he's like, you know,
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: it's and then but Indur and Yugi, the CEO of PEPSI,
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: looks at me and goes, who is he and why
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: is he talking? I go, he's an avenger, hurt locker, nothing.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: And then I go up. But we're in San Francisco
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: City Hall. It's like this huge rotunda. Instead, I go
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: up and I lest move. Vez goes talking to the microphone.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: You know, I know, like to this. Acoustics are terrible,
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: so I just eat it. I get heckled by Jerry Jones.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: All the jokes are good, but they're all there and
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: it was summed up like bon Jovi is behind me
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: in a horrible seat. The kids from Vandos family, those
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: kids come running up the guy in his fiance and
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: they go, oh my god, that was hilarious. We to
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: the comedy store all the time with La Joya. They go,
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: you understand though, why we couldn't laugh audibly though? Right?
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Because I had great jokes. I curated a bunch of stuff,
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: like I pulled in the A team for this, I
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: go would and they just only laughed at the stuff
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: that where the people weren't there.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Oh sure, yeah, that's gotta that's gotta be an interesting
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: vibe because I mean, I would assume the competitive nature
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: of those people who've achieved that level of family or
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: individual success, like there's there's just this like wall up
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: where you're not gonna let yourself be like, thank you,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: I am Jerry Jones. And that was a funny joke
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: at my expense.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: No nothing, nothing. They can't believe that someone's talk back
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: to him like Arthur Blank, the guy who's said home Depot,
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: I go, you look like a mask that Johnny Manzelawar
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: is in Vegas, you know, you even look real. And
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: those were all the safe ones, like they cut a ton,
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: So anyway we do that. Then I did the players
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: when the during COVID with Dan Soder we had a
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: great time and uh, you know you're doing Bosa jokes
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: in front of Nick Bosa.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: And he said, the players really dumb.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: They did. But like I got everybody, like some great
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: ones like John Lynch. John Lynch always looks like he
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: just got yelling. They got through yelling at his wife
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: about where she put his good khakis. And it's all
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: just like your connections to this team are surreal. I mean,
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: my dad used to stand outside Candlestick and collect little
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: like five x seven black and white things that they
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: would hand out through the press and he'd wait for
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: them to be signed. So I have a bunch of
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: stuff behind me that says to Alan Ray, you know
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: my my brother, Like I have a rookie Jill Montana
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: that says to Alan's crazy. So like, to get this
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: close to your organization has been amazing. And I fly
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: up for pretty much every game. Huntsberger and people come
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: over to my house. We have a great collection. I
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: get this little textrad called La Niner Game and then
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: Dave Huntsberger might be the most knowledgeable fan that I know,
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: so it's like having a satistician call.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Yet afterwards, the reason I like talking to Dave and
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: so and Dave gave birth to my favorite football theory
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: that I have pushed out as my own ever since.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: You were the first person, Dave to tell me this idea, like,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: somebody someday is going to draft a rookie quarterback, play them,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: take advantage of their rookie deal, and when they're not
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: a superstar, when they're in that mid tier seven to
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: fifteenth best quarterback and think they're gonna go. I don't
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: care how much pressure there is to have a decent quarterback.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna draft another one. I'm gonna start over, and
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep doing it. And the only way I'm
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: gonna stop is I have a Hall of Famer And
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: I've thought about that ever since. I think it's still coming.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not convinced it's not coming with your team, but
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: somebody is gonna do that at some point. And yeah,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: talking to you, Dave about football, I basically listen and
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: then use your takes elsewhere.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: Well, thanks, fellas. I don't like how invested.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: I have been.
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: I've been peeling back a little bit from like because
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: going to the facility and you're where I wasn't in
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: a jersey, luckily, but I have like a polo that's
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: in al has one too, like the old Bill Walsh style,
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: with like the logo. We've hand put them on these
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: polo shirts. I feel like I started this craze and
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: I'm sitting there essentially a handmade shirt. And then you
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: have like twenty five year olds who are huge coming
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: out of the weight room and taketos what's up, bro?
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: And You're like, I made this shirt and I've been
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: a fan of the team. You just feel so odd
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: being in their presence, Like I shouldn't be this invested in,
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: like this person, this is just their job. And yet
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: when when the Niners drafted George Kittle in the fifth round,
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: you know who announced his name, our friend All Madrigal.
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: So I'm like digging deep on this tight end who
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: didn't play a lot at Iowa and had some injury concerns,
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: was a bit undersized, but I'm like studying the footage.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, man, if.
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: Things go right, they might be playing you saying that
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: when he's inducted into the Hall of Fame, and damn it,
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: he's on that track.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty cool.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: I just wish I had that one back though, because
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: I had this old man. If you dig up this footage,
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: I had this old man, and they made me do
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: it with two super fans, and I have this old
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: guy in the green room, non stump giving me the business.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: So he just when he goes, you're a comedian, tell
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: me joke. Tell me joke, comedian, Tell me a joke, comedian, Hey, comedian,
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: tell me a joke. You're not funny? Are you funny?
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: Are you even a funny comedian? And I'm just quiet,
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: being super polite, and I just think to myself after
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: he says it, like the fourth time ago, I'm getting
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: this guy live on air, and he was being such
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: a I just made a comment about his breath while
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: we were I was doing the pick. I go next
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: to me is whatever his name was, and I go,
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: whose breath is as hot as it is stinky? And
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: he goes really, and I go, yeah, it's a problem,
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: and you need to all right, lead's showing this pick.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: He's a fifth rounder from Iowa.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Nothing like nothing like letting pettiness and anger ruin an
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: all time moment for a kid who sat outside the stadium.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: I've talked to him about it. I don't think he
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: likes it. I mean because he also said he's like
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: you look down when I did tell him, and I'm like, yeah,
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: they just handed it to me. What do you figuring?
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: Good?
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Memorize it and the nunciation on your way out?
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: What a what a lunatic anyone on earth would have?
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: I mean, I know Kittle believes in himself, but anyone
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: and during that draft twenty seventeen that would have gotten
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: that card?
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Oh hell yeah, George Kittle, the thirst rate guy from Iowa.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Hell yeah, look out everybody. I guars you no one
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: outside of Iowa knew his name.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well you iss you. He said, it's like lazy gentleman,
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: future Hall of Famer and total badass. You say that,
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: then they'll use it, then they'll play. Now you don't, like,
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: I have a lifetime but regret.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: For commenting on an old man's hot breath. Yeah, I've
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: gone the other way with it, Dave, because I think
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: I'm also super fan lunatic. But you get that close
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: to it and you go oh, I need to peel
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: back because you feel yourself going over kind of a ledge.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: But uh, I'm I've decided I'm going like I'm I'm
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: a grown up enough to control my actions, and so
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: I've decided to let myself go over the edge because
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: I gotta tell you right now for the Vikings, this
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: new thing and I don't know what's gonna happen. Everybody's like,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: now you're gonna get a real test. I didn't even
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: go into this season like with an amount of games
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: we need to do in Kirk's in Atlanta. We've got young
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: players and free agents all look like there's a couple
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: I know you guys had to have felt this at
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: one point before you entered this era, but there's a
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: couple guys on our team. Jordan Addison who had that
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: stole that interception last year. Dallas Turner, who I have
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: no idea how he fell to seventeen this ivan pace, dude,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: there's a few guys on this team. It's not unreasonable
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: that they jump up and are really really good. And
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: if they do that and you have all this cap space, like,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: I'm just in this moment where yeah, I want to
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: win the games but man, what a new after six
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: You had to have felt this after Harbaugh, after six
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: years of something that worked but didn't work. It's kind
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: of now an open future. So I'm pumped about this game,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: but I'm not invested in the win and lost the
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: way everybody else is. I just want to see how
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: we stack up against a team that's been where you
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: guys have been the last couple of years.
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: Wait, I'm gonna head you off at the pass there,
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: because being at that game last year, that is my
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: least favorite thing about Viking Space, and I feel like
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: that's why all the kicks sailed outside the uprights. Don't
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: think the entire stadium sits there and goes, oh geez,
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: oh gosh.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: I don't, don't you kind of aut I don't care
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: about the outcome. I just want to see how we
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: stack up. And no, no, I.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Want to win the game. That's not what I'm doing.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just saying I'm enjoying the season in
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: a different way than I have the last six years.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: And what David was saying is that your complacency is
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: self fulfilling prophecy. You're getting there going oh geesuk, Like yeah,
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: they just got a real pancake flavor. Uh, and you're
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: you're doom.
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: You gotta just be relentlessly optimist. I mean al during
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: the the Chip Kelly year was like this, we got
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: him this week, This week we got we got Blaine
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: Gabbert's gonna get him.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: This week, we got him.
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: You have to be that you have. Yeah, like they
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: had good plays. Not every game is fifty to nothing
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: at halftime. They're always The NFL is so close. There's
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: so much parody that if your team loses.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: I was an odd believer in Blaine Gabbert. I'm gonna
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: tell you that much. I had more faith in Blaine
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Gabbert than most people ever.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: Should he stuck around for a while. What about Donald,
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: I'm so happy. Yeah, I think you know it would
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: probably I didn't watch. I knew there was talking preseason
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: about you guys starting the rookie, but.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: I don't think it was ever real. I don't. I
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: think best case scenario for a guy like Kevin O'Connell
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: would have been the team competes. And I mean JJ
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: McCarthy is so young. You just give him all the
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: reps in practice and you bring him along at the
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: right speed. And I gotta tell you, like the moment
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: that Donald went to you guys lasted the season and
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: didn't leave there with a bad reputation. He left there
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: with a people saying nice things about him. I was like, well,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: this this is the guy. He made a throw on Sunday.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: I don't think everybody's talking about enough. He dropped back
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: to about the two yard like this is when we
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: were backed up to the half yard line. We went
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: on a ninety nine yard touchdown run, but right drive,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: but he dropped back. He threw this thirty forty yard
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: sideline out to Justin Jefferson. It looked simple, but Jefferson
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: did not He literally did not break stride and on
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: that throw the amount of times in the NFL where
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: there's not even a moment of speed up or slow down,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: that's a pretty hard throw.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: So I don't know what's going to happen when he
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: gets pushed off schedule and things get difficult. But I
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: like one week in I can confidently say like, well,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: this guy can throw this out of the ball. He
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: really can.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: That was a good pickup and I think, yeah, you
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: are going to see that with our situation, we have
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: to you know, we have the pretty contract coming up.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: They've done a good job of managing cap space. I'm
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: not sure what happens to debo, but this is definitely
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: a year we were in a window.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: To Hey, is that what it feels like? Does this
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: feel like after being in as far as you were
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: the last two years, do you feel like if it
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: doesn't happen, now, we're gonna have to re We're gonna
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: have to re up in some different way.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: I think as long as we have Purty, we're kind
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: of a good pretty and Shanahan and Lynch combo is
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: a pretty solid place to be, so I think we're
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: in spot. And then this kid on the offensive line, Poony,
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: that everyone was talking about.
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: He's gonna make the Pro Bowl. Yeah, I mean he's
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: They've been complaining about the oh line. Oh they didn't
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: invest in the old line. Oh man, they didn't take
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: someone in the first round. They did, and he's he's
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: so good. He fills a hole and like levels up
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: the whole right side of the offensive line. And those
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: are the things you have to do drafting, Like the
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: Trey Lance thing should have sunk them. And then they look,
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: you know, they they their personnel department. I think really
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: took it personal that, oh, it's not you guys. You know,
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: you don't get to make these draft picks. And like
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: they've hit on so many late round guys like Hufunga
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: and uh basically the fifth round is like Diamador Lenoil. Yeah,
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: Kittle's a fifth round guy. They have a bunch of
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: fifth round hits. DJ Reed, who is playing for the Jets,
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: who's really great one that.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: Got Jennings the seventh rounder, you know, let's.
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: Say, seventh round guy. They got Jacob Cowing this year.
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: They have some dudes that are like coming up. What
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: you need to do? You need to fill the tub
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: if guys leave, and I think they're really well stocked
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: to do that. And to your point about like the quarterbacks,
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: you know they it makes a big You have banners
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: walking in of the quarterback and people go, oh, I'm
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: going to this like Disneyland essentially, and there's my hero
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: to welcome me. I see him on all the commercials
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: and he leads the late fourth quarter drives and that's
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: my guy. It makes a big deal if your franchise
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: has one of those guys, even if it's like a
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: Dak Prescott, who's not a real threat in the postseason,
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: but he is your team's Mickey Mouse.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: It's important to get him on a banner.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: But I think when they win early on their rookie contract,
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: if you have like a prescribed thing, Hey, you were
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: all pro, you led the league in this and this
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: and this. Your contract looks like this homes deal. It's
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: like ten years, you've checked all the boxes. It's a
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: crazy amount of money. And then but they moved on
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: from Trey Lance, they moved on from Zach Wilson. They
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: move on from these quarterbacks so quickly now that I
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: think that's the reason is they're like, Okay, we found one.
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: We have Mickey Mouse on the banner. Now we need
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: to draft well and fill it up around him. So
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: I feel real optimistic that they they do that.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: They're doing that regardless of him coming into a bigger contract.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: They've stocked because that's the thing. If you don't, you
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: can get by that thing where they go from making
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: no money to ten twelve percent of the salary cap.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: But in those three four years that they're rookie, if
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: you don't stock the barrels, so you got a bunch
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: of cheap guys who are studs around them. It becomes
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: real hard, real quick.
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: You don't have to hit on every draft pick. You
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: gotta hit like Poony just getting one. I think the
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: whole fan base like, hey, all right, got like a
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: guy who's like penciled in to be there for a
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: few years.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Dude, if you get a guy who becomes a stud
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: in not the first round, that feels like you won
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: the draft. Yeah. I appreciated a ton guys, Thank you
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: so much for doing this. I hate to do this
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: for you, but I want predictions. That's that's the only
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: fun thing about the show. Actually, I feel like Al
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: is gonna lean in and enjoy that part.
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: All right, I'm gonna say Niners thirty four twelve.
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I was gonna say something along those lines too.
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: I think they know Donald. I think Donald didn't really
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: get to see Sorenson as the d guy he's got.
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: He saw Wilksaw last year and that scheme, so he
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: doesn't really know them the way that Vikings fans are
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: hoping he does. I think the Niners new front four
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: with like Elliott is like a beast. He really sure
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: things up next to Hardgrave that really freeze things up
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: for I think it's gonna be tough on Donald and
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: getting off schedule is gonna be He's good there though,
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: so I think he can.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: I think he'll make some amazing plays.
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: But I also think he'll have one or two we go, oh,
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: that's old Donald showing up, and that could be enough
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: to just tip it where it goes to me in
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: a close game to like two or three plus scores.
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: We scored on and they were field goals. We scored
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: on eight possessions in a row. Yeah, it's the Jets,
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: who are we were a good defense.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: So thirty four to twelve and two or three touchdowns.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: So you're you're a.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: Talking smack.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: I can't. I can't you think I'm gonna sit here
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: this whole time and not turn not take advantage of
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: a callback? What are we even doing here?
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah? All right, I respect it, guys.
