  Speaker 3: So we did that with Vikings players.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: So we put a grid of Vikings players, all time

  Speaker 1: great Vikings players together.

  Speaker 1: so yeah, we'll talk about that when we get there too.

  Speaker 1: lion Bridge today. This is lion Bridge's compensation English mild Ale.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: This is another one of those beers, Austin. I told
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: you this, that stupid cake dessert sour beer a few
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: weeks ago. This is one of those that's been staring
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: me down on the shelf and I've looked at it
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: probably ten times, and I'm like, one day I'm going
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: to get that.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Well, boys, today is that day.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Did you notice that according to the can this is
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: a two time winner?
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: Wow?
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Of what does it say the American Beer Festivals? Yes,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: it's a two times gold winner apparently in twenty fourteen,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: twenty sixteen. I haven't yet to have this forest. Have
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: you tried this one yet? Back, I've had this. It's
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: a beer beer, it's good, it's smallti heel. I think
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: you'll look. Yeah, I'm excited if I I mean, just
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: like anything line Bridge ever puts out. I'm always I
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: don't want to say surprised, because it's not like I
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: think it's going to be terrible, but it's always like
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: really good.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I haven't had this one yet. I'm really excited to
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: try it. Yeah, so we're going to crack these open
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: for them up, give them a shot. Here.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I just saw something on my glass.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Oh no with advertizing, So I'm going to make sure
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: that's good and I my list.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Well you do that. Yeah, this is a good dark color.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: The can describes it as multi toasty caramel, and just
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: from that color that all makes sense. It smelled it
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: or tasted yet, but yeah, goold color, great head retention.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: If you have a good poor like me, and yeah,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: pretty hazy, you're not seeing through it, just dark looking.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I'm really excited. All right, let's call it up careful. Yeah.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: I like that a lot.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: That's exactly what I was anticipating. Judging by the description
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: on the can. It's really good. Just a dark, solid
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: color a beer beer, but like a good dark beer,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: great sweetness flavor to it. Yeah, that's really good. Good job,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: lion Bridge. I really enjoyed that one.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I especially appreciate like the maltiness of it.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: It's kind of toasted esque.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: It's simple, simple but delicious.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I got this because it's in a similar vein
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: to the brea brown ale that we're brewing right now.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: That is correct actively fermenting. Yeah, at this point. So
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: we've we spent last weekend brewing it. And actually this
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: is our third episode with you on. I know, I'm
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: tired of third episode in a row. So we spent
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. If you're curious about the
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: brew process, go back to episode seventy nine. We had
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Forrest on. Before we brewed Forrest, you brought some grain
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: with you. We were able to kind of get the
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: initial sense of what this brown ale that we're brewing
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: will taste like, just based on the smell of the grains.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: And then last week in episode eighty, we actually brewed
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the beer. We were on location in Austin's garage. That
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: was so much fun, guys, that was a lot of fun.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I had a blast. It was a longer day and
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: we might talk about it too, but it was still
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: really good.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: It was a great day any day you're drinking beer,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: making beer, hanging out with good friends. Salid salts absolutely.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So we figured we'd have you on one more
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: time just to kind of recap the brew day, which
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: is what we plan on doing here in just a minute,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: and also talk about kind of what we're looking forward
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: to with this beer that we brewed, and talking about
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: all the little things that happened kind of along the
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: way in the Brew Day.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, in short, spoiler alert, I think it was
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: a pretty successful day.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, so far? Yeah, So I think I think
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: everything was good on Brew Day. If you listen to
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: the episode, we're all excited with kind of the numbers
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: that were coming out, and then it's fermenting right now
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: in Austin's basement. So I think things are going well there. Yeah. Absolutely.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Last week on the brew Day episode, i'd mentioned looking
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: back to last year's Brew Day, how there was a
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: point with the original skull Hot beer that we were
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: doing that Brew Day twenty twenty four and then we
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: looked at final numbers and you were like jubilant. You
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: you let out like a touchdown worthy cheer in twenty
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: twenty four, and you basically did the same thing at
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: one point last week for this this new skull Hop beer.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: I shouldn't say school Hop, it's it's a beer by
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Forest with the skull Hop. I don't know. We don't
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: have a nanc collab it's a collab effort. Yep. Yeah,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: we're still looking for a name. I uh, I'm hoping
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: someone in your audience, you know, has this. Just give
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: us a great idea, give us a good name. We've
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: tried chat GPT, they've probably split out forty to fifty
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: options for us so far. That's maybe two or three
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: like okay, yeah, there's only my view that were all right,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: But yeah, we we need a good name for this
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: because we can't drink it without a name. No, that's
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: that's that's an ultimate ultimate sin right there.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Now, we've already used the skull hop because that was
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty fours meer, so we called that one the
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: school hop Hoppy Amber.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we got we got the bottles bottle right here
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: there on display.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: We'll probably bottle well, no, we won't bottle these ones.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: I don't think, although I'm not. I think it'd be
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: cool to make another bottle commemorative and not even filled up,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: just make up. We could definitely still make a slap
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: it on an empty label.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll do that, and we'll maybe start a little
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: collection and the annual collection of these.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: I did realize I fully intended last year on having
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: one of those bottles just up in my basement. I
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: believe they're all here.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Oh well you need so you both need to take
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: one tonight because I think I have all of them.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: They're right literally right under this on the bar. They've
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: just been sitting here. Some of them might be like
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: a little moldy, but that's what I would say for me.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's cool to have it on the bottle,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: but just having the actual label and everything, and then
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: you can just kind of make like a little poster m. Yeah,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: that's different things. That's probably what I'll do.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: And we've got plenty more of the like labels and
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: we can print as many.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's what i'd like to do. Yeah,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: where were we We were just set Radical Effects in
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Rock Island. Yeah, and in that the pool room with
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: the darts in the pool table. Have you noticed the
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: one wall they have absolutely I don't even know if
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: it's their beers, but they've got a whole like artwork
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: wall of framed logos spears. Yeah, it's not theirs necessarily,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: So yeah, they're I've seen a lot of breweries where
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: they they do those things where they'll either paint it
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: or or they'll just take the label off the the
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: can or the bottle and just have a whole wall.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Or it's it's really cool what what bars and breweries
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: come up with the you know it used to be
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: with with like just singled out bottles. You know, you'd
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: have the caps and they'd actually have like a logo
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: on the cap. And I've seen bar tops with just
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: those and you just get creative and everything. So, so yeah,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: maybe we need to do that, make up at least
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: three frame worthy logos of last year's beer, and then
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: once we figure out a name, we can whip up
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: a logo and make it up for this year's beer too.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: So and then you know, you gotta sign it for us.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: You're the master brewer. We'll all sign it. We're we're
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: all part of part of this. But yeah, I mean
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: I think the beer. Beer is gonna be uh probably
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: done fermenting, you know, probably in another week or so,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: and then we need to just decide when we're kagging it.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: So so as a reminder, have we said it in
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: the last few minutes what kind of beer we're brewing?
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: I don't think we have, Okay to remind well, for us,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: you're the you're the export of this bear. Ye oh yeah,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: so we're making a nut brown ale or we did
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: make a nut brown ale really technically, so it's gonna
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: be hopefully measuring about five and a half percent alcohol,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: very similar, very maulty, has a nice, uh sweetness to
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: it but not overly powering, and then you know it
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: has a little hot in the background, but nothing too
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: bitter as well. So yeah, really at it. Yeah, I'm
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: excited as you were saying that, I went to look
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: and see what this lion Bridge compensation had listed for
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: their ABV and I can't see it on the can Evan,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: I think you're.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: I'm googling it right now.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll see if I can find something here.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: But I feel like for these darker beers that that
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: five to six percent is about where it is. Evan,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: you just pulled it up. It says four and a
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: half on untapped is what it's listing this this lion
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Bridge beer at which is pretty solid. I mean, four
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: and a half is on the higher end of what
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: you'd be looking for ABV wise of like you know,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: a bud light, a Corse light, some of those. You know,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: sometimes you just want to grab a nice beer that
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: you're not you can have several of and not have
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: to worry so much about the ABV. So yeah, absolutely,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: there's always there's always a time, and you're in room
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: in your fridge for some of those lower abvs that
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: still punch a lot of good flavor in there. So yeah,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: and there's nothing wrong with that. There's a like you said,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: a time and a place. I feel like having a
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: whole evening. If you could put back six beers next
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: to the fire and still wake up the next morning
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: feeling perfectly fine, that's kind of exactly what a four
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: and a half five percenter is in my mind. So
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: if our skull hop whatever we end up naming it
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: nut brown Ale and I get they're not exactly the same. Yeah,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: there there's there's differences, but overall, I would say our
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: beer should model this very similarly. It's an English style,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: and that nut brown Ale is kind of an English
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: inspired ale as well. So yeah, So if ours tastes
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: even in the same neighborhood as this for us, you
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: hit a home run with woman recipe, well yeah, otherwise
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: we'll describe more of this, yeah we can. Well, nobody'll know.
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: Thanks.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Rigel's get another six pack and four in their own.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: It must be this must be a pretty popular one
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: at line Bridge because I see it on the shelves.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: They make this, I believe, year round, and I mean
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: of course they would. It's a two time gold medal
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: winning beer.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So, like I said, I I think I mentioned
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: it the other episode is There's nothing wrong with you know,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: the IPAs and the Hazys and everything else that we've
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: seen over the last several years. You're really starting to
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: see more basic beer come back on the shelves people.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: I mean there is I hate to call it basic beer,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: but what everyone knows what a beer originally was, and
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: that's that's what you're starting to see a lot more
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: on the shelves. So it's kind of fun to watch
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: these breweries change and what they're brewing.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: So and that's like that warms my heart because I've
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: been telling Austin pretty much since we started this podcast
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: a year and a half ago, like I just want
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: a beer that doesn't try to do too much right,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I want just your good, old like taste, like a
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: beer beer like you would have with your grandpa or
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: your dad on the back porch.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Like that's what I'm looking for. And it's not that
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: I don't like the like troop will.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Dry hoped amazing, juicy whatever, or this sour stuff you
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: know has really taken off too, Like those are great,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: and I'll I've had those. I like those, I don't
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: mind them, and I can appreciate the craft behind that,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: but I don't know. This is like, this is just
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: what I gravitate towards, something simple, something refreshing.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: There's a room for all of it on a shelf.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: So absolutely, and first, you said this a bunch of
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: times about those. I feel like we're trying to dance
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: around what exactly to call these kinds of beers like traditional,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: because we don't want to say like simple yeah, you know,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: I don't want to line bridge. I didn't mean your
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: beer is basically yeah, it's it's just a nice, easy
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: drinking beer that I would imagine has just the four
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: basic ingredients to a beer, you know. So, but like
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: I said, you've said this at countless times. When you
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: have a beer like this, you kind of have to
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: make it well. You have to do it right because
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: there's not enough crazy freevor is to hide any Mistadiesmatically,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: that is exactly what it is so and it's probably
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: not as simple in some terms, because like you said,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: you have to hit your your numbers to make a
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: beer this tasty. Yeah, And to that point, to patch
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: you on the back a little bit, we haven't. We
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: haven't had ours yet. So well, we've tasted the non
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: alcoholic version of it so far, the wart and the
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: we've we've experienced it to what it is so far
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: and everything we've seen everything shows that it should be
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: a good beer. I'm really excited for it.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: So am I for sure.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Any just final like recap thoughts that we had on
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: the Breudet Austin. You mentioned the like this pump celebration
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: that Forrest had. We even pointed it out live kind
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: of in the moment. That was just, you know, a
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: moment of success in the process, and that was me
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: just how I am when I do beer. I basically
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: forgot you were doing recording. I was just so excited
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: that the beer was turning out.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: So yeah. It would be one thing if if you
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: reacted like, oh good, we're in the neighborhood of the
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: right numbers guys, which that's not how you react.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: You were like, gosh, let's go, Like I feel like
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: I heard you say skull at one point.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know, definitely did not do that. I do
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: think there was one thing, not necessarily a mistake we made,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: but kind of a decision we made that we probably
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: feel like we won't do again. It was pretty cold out, yes,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: pretty cold out when we did that brewdet and rather
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: than rapidly cool it down with the chiller that you have,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: the like immersion chiller that you have, correct, we decided
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: And I'll take the fall for this, because I think
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: I was the first one to say it to just
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: kind of go stick it in the snow and let
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: the outside cool it down, then stir it and make
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: sure it was good. I honestly thought it was cool
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: faster than it did. It took like two hours, because
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, we packed snow around the outside of it,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: and your yard just looked like something giant just landed
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: in your yard. Is crazy later, but yeah, I was
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: probably a little I was a little selfish, like, man,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: I don't want to have to clean another thing. So
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: I was thinking it was cool fast enough, and it cooled.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: It wasn't like we were waiting hours upon hours, but
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: I think it was over an hour. It was. It
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: was probably over an hour, so with that emergent chiller,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: it's usually like what fifteen to twenty minutes and you're
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: down to like seventy degrees crack something.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: So it allowed us to clean up some other stuff,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: have a few We cleaned out the inside of a
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: few beer cans.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: We definitely, we definitely did that, and that's okay. The
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: beer you brew doesn't count if you didn't drink a
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: few beers on the way, so and it definitely counts.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: I can't officially claim that the beer we brewed counts
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: based off of how many beers we drank that day.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: So I felt like the process was a lot smoother
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: than it was even last year. Now I was just
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: the documentarian and like taking pictures in video. I also
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: took a time lapse video that probably will never be
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: viewed by anybody because I ended up taking probably about
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: twenty thousand individual pictures.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, Okay, I think that file was probably bigger
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: than like the entirety of the Marvel cinematic universe would
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: be as far as memory goes.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know that any computer has the
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: processing power to put all those together in a functional
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: time laps.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know, man, you got an M one mac
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: over here?
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Oh trust me, I tried. I tried.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Maybe you just need to upgrade.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, ye with all that school hot money with Oh yeah,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: I was.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Gonna say, though, no it should. The brewdet went really smooth.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: I think obviously Austin and I have done this a
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: few times together, so we have a pretty good feel
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: of how we operate, and it never hurts to have
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: an extra sy hands. But also your your garage is
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: a great setting, you know, it's it's it's open enough
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: where we can move around. So, yeah, just just got
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: water water available? Could we get the water spigot right
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: in the garage. I also had the garage probably better
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: set up this year than we did last year. I
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: very cleared some more cluttering out. You learn learn, you
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: learned through you know, just going through it multiple times.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: But importantly, it was brewed in the state of Iowa.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: It is fermenting in the state of Iowa, which there's
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: probably a gray area lying on that, but it is
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: being fully produced in the state of Iowa, which means
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: we can drink it on the.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Podcast and drink it.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: We will, yes, we will drink it. We will. We will.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: We will reevaluate, reevaluate our seating arrangement and who is
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: sitting closest to the keg when we do drink this
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: version of the beer, which will probably be sometime in
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know, April or May or so whenever, because
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: we did it what May or something we did April
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: our actual like beer tapping events. So yeah, we will
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: be more strategic about that this coming time.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Yes we will, Yes, we will, but I can't wait
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: for that.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: I think the beer is gonna be great. Hopefully it's
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: still just a touch chili outside in the evening when
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: we drink it, because I feel like the darker flavor
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: beers they just hit better. They do when it's a
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: little chilly, when you got a sweatshirt on. I think
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: it was beautiful the day that we did it.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, you couldn't have asked for better weather that night,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: but it was. It was on the warmer side of things.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: It wasn't cold. I was I think in like shorts
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: and the T shirt. So yeah, you can't complain about
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: the weather we had last year. But I agree with you,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: it's those nights where it's just a little cold. You
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: want the long sleeves, and you want to be like
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: close to the fire to feel the warmth of it.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: And that's when this kind of beer hits the best.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: It hits and it could be a two percenter and
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: it would still hit the best. So for any any
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: closing thoughts on the actual brew day or the process,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: since we've we've finished the brew day, no, I like
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: to think we've hit all the points. I think now
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: it's just a matter of getting in that keg let
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: carbonate and then tasting the fruits of our good work. Yep.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: I will say my basement is probably a shade chili
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: for the temperature that it needs to ferment at. So
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: you did have a nice like wrap heated, and different
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: eyasts work at different temperatures, so originally obviously had enough
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: sugar to eat. So it was actively going for the
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: first few days, and then we just put a heat
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: rap on it raised up at what three degrees, and
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: it started going again. So yeah, just give a little
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: helping hand to that east. I sent you guys a
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: couple of like ten second videos of the airlock just
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: bubbling up with the carbon dioxide. So we're getting there.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: It's working. That's a good thing.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Well, we will definitely feature the beer at some point.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: We're not entirely sure when that's gonna be, yeah, but
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: we will certainly have Forest back for that episode. We
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: will try it together for the first absolutely right here.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, you haven't tried it yet. It's like half gone.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Probably it's talking about two percent, but it's doing its job.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: It's two percent left.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Yes, I'm just hoping you would. Austin's trying to replicate
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: it before we up. They'll never know. It's just full
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: of the lion Bridge compensation. Man.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I went to the store and I couldn't find the
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: compensation on the shoves anymore.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: I wanted that. I had to buy a can of.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: No.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: I haven't even opened it, guys.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: No.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: So the first try will be the three of us
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: right here, hopefully.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: In a few weeks, maybe a month, month and a half. Yep,
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: it'll just depend on.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: How even sooner as far as when we can try
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: it for the first time. Absolutely yep. Yeah, that's the
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: all on good time.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: The beauty of it is we get to decide.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: The Other thing that we get to decide today is
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: we're going to be drafting players. We're going to kind
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: of take after the internet trend, and we've got a grid.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: We're going to put this up on the screen here.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: We've got a grid of all time great Vikings players,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: and each of us is going to be given an
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: imaginary fifteen dollars allowance, and we have to create our
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: all time lineup one quarterback, one running back, two wide receivers,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: and a tight end for under fifteen dollars. So we'll
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: put this up here. I'm going to quickly run through
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: the grid. For those that are listening, I should.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Probably say, just quickly, how you put it together too?
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you didn't just throw pictures on.
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't just randomly pick random Vikings. I went to
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Pro Football Reference. If you've never been to that website
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: before and you're into any sort of NFL stats, we
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: would highly recommend it. But Pro Football Reference has what
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: they call approximate Value, and their description is it's their
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: attempt to attach a single number to every player in
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: season since nineteen sixty and so it's basically just taking
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: everything that the player has done and boiling it down
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: to one number.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: The higher the number, the better the player.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: So for each position, I just took the highest av
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: players with a few exceptions, just to kind of mix
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: things up a little bit and just basically ranked them
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: from best to not worst, but highest to lowest on
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: this system. So we'll quickly quickly run through the list
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: and then i'll explain the draft that we're going to do.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: So.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: In the quarterback category, we have Fran Tarkenton for five dollars,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Dante Culpepper for four, Kirk Cousins for three, Brett Favre
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: for two, and Sam Donald for a dollar.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Okay, specifically the Vikings version of Sam Donald.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Yes, just the Vikings version of all of these players,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: regardless of what team they've played on. Out Side of
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Minnesota running backs, we have Adrian Peterson at five dollars,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Chuck Foreman for four dollars, Robert Smith three dollars, Dalvin
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Cook two, and Michael Bennett number one throwback one dollar.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: I should say number one.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, didn't he get in some trouble? He went to prison,
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: But I don't want to say what I think it
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: was because I'm not one hundred percent sure and I
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: don't want to.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: You know, somebody, he was a pretty decent running back
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: in his time of the Viking, So that's all we
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: care about it. We've got two wide receiver categories, and
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: this one was kind of a toss up, so it
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: doesn't really matter like wide receiver one, Wide receiver two.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: It's just wide receivers. We've got Chris Carter, Randy Moss,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, Sammy White, Anthony Carter, Adam Thielen, Stefan Diggs,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Jake Reed, Percy Harvin, Sidney Rice. Okay, and importantly you
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: read that in order from five four four, three three
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: two two one one. So Chris Carter and Randy Moss
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: are both worth five dollars, Justin Jefferson, Sammy White both
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: worth four dollars, and so on. And then in the
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: tight end tight end category, we have Steve Jordan for
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: five dollars, h Kyle Rudolph four dollars, Vessante Shanko three dollars.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: That's always a mouthful.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: To say, Sante, Yeah it is. I think it's pronounced officially.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: It looks likesanth Yeah. And maybe he will see this
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: and give us the full correction. I think when I
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: was doing my research on I think, I mean, that's
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: what it looks, and that's how it looks like.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: It said, perfect, perfect opportunity to remind any Vikings player
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: out there, past or present, you're.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Always wellcome to the school.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: I would take shank So, Shanko, if you want to
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: come on and tell us how.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: To pronounce, importantly, please be appropriately dressed when you When
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: you do, come on for us, I'll let you know
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: what I mean by that later. Anyway, I want to go.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: Let's finish this out.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry, Shako.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Three dollars. Jimmy Klein Saucer two dollars. TJ Howkinson one dollar.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: I struggled with TJ and Jimmy clein Saucer. I was like, well, TJ,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe two dollars, but he's just still
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: so young and he didn't start his career with the Vikings.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: Client Saucer, I think.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Spent his whole career with the Vikings and was just
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: a stud and not just you know, a pass catching
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: tight end, which he did some.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: Of, but man, he was just he was good.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Importantly, a lot of these players, and that's the way
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: that it goes in the NFL. A lot of these
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: players played for more teams than yes, the Vikings.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: So what we're gonna do is we're gonna kind of
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: go draft order, which I thought would make it a
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: little more interesting too, so it's not just like, oh yeah,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: I picked Dante Culpepper is my starting quarterback too. Once
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: a player is taken, they're off the board and the
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: remaining players have to take somebody else.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: You can start in any.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Cap cap is fifteen dollars.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: Fifteen dollars.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man, So we're gonna.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Start with Forest over here. We're gonna go any number one.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: We're gonna go in reverse alphabetical order by first name
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: is what I started with, So Forrest, Evan Austin, and
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: then we're just gonna snake it. So then you'll get
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: two back to back. We'll go back this way, you'll
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: get two back to back, and we'll just go until
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: we've each picked five players, one in each category.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: So you answered one of my questions, which was like
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: the order, we're not specifically like this is the quarterback round.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: We're just gonna go no, so Forrest can start wherever
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: he wants, and then we'll just riff off of that
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: from there.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Another question I had, which we can decide together this
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: wide receiver category, we have ten of them, you have
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: them in two different rows. Can we just pick I
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: had that thought.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: I had that thought, and I think yes, as long
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: as you pick two wide receivers, it doesn't matter which
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: column you pick from. So, for example, Chris Carter and
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson are in the first wide receiver column. So
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: if you're watching it, you'll see that if somebody wants
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: to spend nine dollars and take both of them, they
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: could that's fair, but then you would not then you
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: would not get a wide receiver from the other wide receiver.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you just get a cap of You have to
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: fill one quarterback, one running back, US two wide receivers
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: and one tight end. Got it?
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: Everybody clear on the rules?
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: I think?
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: So all right?
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Can I is someone want to trade up for like
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: two dollars, That's that's pretty genius. I'm going to decline,
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: just throwing it out there. I'm also going to decline,
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: and I'm going to stick you at the first pick. Okay, Well,
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: I have looked at this a lot, and uh, I
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: think the the right move is to take mister Randy Moss.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: All right, Okay, so Forrest is going to select Randy
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Moss for five dollars.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: You've got ten bucks left son.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: I do want to say, how crazy is the Vikings
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: wide receiver history, specifically that Stefan Diggs and Percy Harvin
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: could both be had for in total of three dollars. Like,
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: that's that is? That is insane? All right?
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Well, I guess that's me. So I'm gonna go with
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with a quarterback, even though you don't
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: have to.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna. I'm gonna say Dante Dang.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, I want him because I want a solid quarterback
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: who can do it all. And I don't necessarily want
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: to spend five dollars on Frand targets.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is tough. Frand might be the best Vikings
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: quarterback of all time specifically Vikings, but that's still quite
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: a bit of money for a fifteen dollars budget. So
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: with my first pick, oh man, there's some that I
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: think I could sneakily grab and still be way better.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: I'm just gonna do it so I don't get screwed
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: out of it. I'm gonna take Brett far all right,
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: two dollars.
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: I like that pic.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: I did not see you taking that as your first
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: You get to pick again? Oh yeah, okay, so you're
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: up again? All right?
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Since we're snaking it back this way now. Sorry, Treka,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: really quick first round, Randy Moss, Dante Culpepper, Brett Favre
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: off the board, and for the fourth pick, I'm going
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: to go with Dalvin Cook. I wondered if you do
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: that for two dollars, that's a pretty good value.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: You kind of are doing like a budget here, and
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: we'll see, we'll see. Okay, you know you get no
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: bonus points for having extra money at the end. Oh,
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: that wasn't part of the rules. I'm just throwing it
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: out there, all right.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: So that puts me again here and I will say
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: that I'm gonna take This is a tough one, and
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: I know what I want to do. I don't know
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: that I'm gonna do it, but I kind of want.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: None of us areta in your head right, I want
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: to do it. I'm taking Adrian Peterson, all right for
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: five bucks maybe the best already nine dollars invested. Ye, okay,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: those are pretty solid picks though, Dante Culpepper and Adrian Peterson.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine that? Awesome?
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: And you're almost guaranteed, yeah, you're you're you're gonna.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: End up with a solid team thereof I don't think
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: anybody can end up with a not so.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: Say this is like all good players all right in Forrest,
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: you're up, you two picks. I'm gonna go to the
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Michigan boy, Anthony Carter.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: All right, there you go.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Wow, I would have bet money that he wouldn't have
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: gotten picked. Not that he's bad, I mean I remember
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: him in the NFL, but I watching him in the college.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Probably more on recordings, but yeah. Still, hey, well he's
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: Michigan the ties there. I didn't know that. So now
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: is it back to Forrest?
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: Back to Forest again? Because we're snaking back.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: So I've invested eight dollars seven left. Considering you guys
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: have already locked in with your QB, I'm gonna let
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: that one slide and I will take you've got your
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: pick of running backs too. Really, I'm not. I'm just
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: not in love with the running backs left, mainly because
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know two of them very well. And then uh,
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Michael Bennett. Uh, I'm gonna hold off on that one.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: So I am going to go with Kyle Rudolph. Oh interesting, Okay,
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: I like that pick. I solid pick. Although you're I
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: get that you're not a Vikings fan. So you're not
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: too well versed with you know, Chuck Foreman, and dang it,
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: what's his first name?
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Who?
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: Robert Smith?
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Robert Smith. I'm I'm ashamed. I'm so sorry to every
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Viking Stanier.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: Is he hanging right behind?
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: Kid for the longest time on this podcast.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: Well, Robert Smith?
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: Is it?
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: That? Is it the Ohio state of it All that
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: you didn't want? Robert Smith? Probably? Okay, I mean Michael
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: Bennett I think is from Wisconsins. So yeah, all right,
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: you're up.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: All right, So I've got nine dollars out, which means
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: I have six dollars left. I haven't picked a wide
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: receiver or a tight end. I'm gonna go as controversy
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: seal as this will be. I'm gonna go Stefan Diggs. Interesting, Okay,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: that's actually I was. And I'll just point out really quick,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: this picture is the Minneapolis Miracle picture.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: So we're just gonna roll with that.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: And I don't think much else needs to be said
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: about him as a player for the Vikings. Yes, drama
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: off the field, yes, a lot of cryptic tweets and stuff.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Even with his other franchise that he's been a part of,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: he's never been happy. No, he's somewhat discontent.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: But have you seen the heck of a player for
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: a second. There there is people talking like, oh, yeah,
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: the Vikings could re sign Digs in free agency this year.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: No absolutely not, just like the Jets aren't going to
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: sign same normally. No, no, nope, we've done that. No
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: we don't need that, all right, So I have it's
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: my pick again. I paid two dollars for five and
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: two dollars for Dalvin Cook. Got a lot of money
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: in the bank, absolute steal. So I've got eleven dollars left.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: I need two wide receivers and a tight end. I'm
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: going to go with Chris Carter.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: So I don't know why you wouldn't go with Chris Carter.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: As Chris Carter the best Vikings wide receiver of all
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: time as things sit right now, Yeah, specific Vikings to
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: contribute to the Vikings now.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Randy Moss maybe has slightly better career stats in some
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: categories as it relates to his entire career, but in
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: terms of what was produced for the Vikings wearing purple
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: and gold, Chris Carter is the gold standard. He is
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: the best receiver in franchise history. So yes, I like that.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Pick a lot and you get to go again because
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: we're snaking it back this way. All right, I'm gonna
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: do it too. Come on, justin, Jeffers say, I knew
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: you were going to do that. So that puts me
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: at two dollars left, correct, two dollars left, which.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: Means two four nine.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: And then so you're teen, So I have two dollars.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Do you have two options for your tight end?
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: All right, you're up.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: Okay, So.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: I need another wide receiver and I need a tight end.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: I could really force your hand right now, tight ends
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: out what I was doing. All right, that's fair. I
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: also need another wide receiver, and I have what nine,
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: ten eleven dollars, so I have four dollars left, which
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: kind of forces my hand to a little bit. All right,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna take TJ, all right
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: at tight end. I want TJ because I think, even
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: though I made this grid, I told you guys a
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: minute ago, I was a little like on the fence
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: about TJ and Jimmy clin Saucer. You know, if I
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: put them you know where they are, I probably could
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: have and maybe should have in hindsight, put TJ at
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: the two dollar mark in Jimmy clin Saucer at the
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: one dollar mark. I think Jimmy clin Saucer is like
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: the consummate Viking, like you think about guys that just
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: are emblematic of the franchise. He's the guy. But TJ
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: is still young, very productive. I think he's got a
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: bright future still with the Vikings, and he's already contributed
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: in a lot of good ways. So I'm gonna take
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: him at a dollar.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Importantly, I think there's there's no shame in saying TJ.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: Hockinson and Jimmy Clinsaucer. Yeah, they both played played slash
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: play tight end, but they play very different versions of
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: the tight end position. Yes, one client Saucer was in
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: a you know, one of the previous eras. He was
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: a consummate Viking like you just said, but he was
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: more a guy that would also line up at full
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: back just as much as tight end. And Hockinson, while
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: he's got blocking ability, he's definitely more of the receiving
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: tight end. Lately he's been more of the injured tight end,
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: but yeah, he'll bounce back. Yeah, I think they They're
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: perfectly fine being compared to each other, but also like
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: shaking hands with each other because they're two very different guys.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Yep, all right, so I've got four picks. You've got
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: four picks. Forrest, you got your last two picks, right.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: Which you've kind of locked me into because I can't
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: do a three dollar It's true, So Forrest you have
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: So I basically have locked into Michael Bennett at running
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: back running back, and then I'm gonna take JJ McCarthy
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: for fiftys. We are not outgoing to allow that he
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: may end up being the best Vikings quarterback of all time,
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: which is crazy to say right now he's never taken
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: a snap for the team in the regular season.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: But yeah, how about this will catch you a deal.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: You can have Sam Donald for a dollar.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: It sounds like I'm giving you the little twenty twenty
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: four Sam Donald. That's not bad. That's pretty good value.
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: I getting fleeced for it.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So yeah, I've locked in obviously with Sam
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: Donald on just technicality really not that that's a bad pick.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, he had an outstanding year last year, so yeah, absolutely,
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: there you go.
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: All right, Edan, You've got one more pick, right, I've
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: got one more and I think let me do my
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: math quick nine to.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Eleven, twelve dollars, So i have three dollars to spend.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: I'm going to spend it on the guy that played
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: opposite of Digs quite a bit because they were just
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: a great tandem. I'm going with Adam Thielen, and I'm
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: gonna hit my budget right at fifteen bucks.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: There you go, and a solid team, a solid pick.
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: Or No, I think I came in at fourteen bucks.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Well, let's do the math quay ten eleven. No, I
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: came at fifteen all right, so I'm pretty well locked into.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: I have exactly two dollars and one more position that
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: I need. Even if all of them were the same price.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: Between Steve Jordan, the Sante Shanko and Jimmy Clin Saucer,
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: I would still pick Jimmy Clin Saucer. And that's not
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: disrespecting either of the other two guys, because they're both
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: great Vikings in their own right. But a client Saucer
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: might be the greatest Viking of all time. I think
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: we talked about that, like, yeah, forty episodes ago.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well yeah, when we were in episode four because
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: that was his name, and yeah, we definitely spent a
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: good amount of time talking about him. So I don't
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: disagree with that pick, and I don't know that any
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: of us can feel terrible about these lineups. Let's quickly
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: run down who we've got, just from quarterback on the
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: left to tight end on the right.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: Run through your list there.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: So I have a mister JJ McCarthy, Sam.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: Darnold, JJ McCarthy's mentor.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, Michael Bennett for running back. I have Anthony
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: Carter and Randy Moss for a wide receiver, and then
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: Cal Rudolph for tight end. Which is interesting because as
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: a Bears fan, there's probably at least a couple of
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: names on this grid that you weren't familiar with at all. Right,
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: every name I have I'm familiar with. There was, like
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: I think I was saying earlier, I knew all the
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: wide receivers. I had to look up I think your
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: two running backs that actually weren't taken on the sport
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: and then uh, yeah, the tight ends were probably the Yeah,
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: I knew Rudolphin and Hockinson, but not really familiar with
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: the other three. So and that's what I was getting
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: at the team you ended up with, and and it
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: kind of shook out. Not all of it was under
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: your control. The team you ended up with is a
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: team of players that you're at least decently familiar. Sure, sure,
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: absolutely all right.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: So my lineup consisted of Dante Culpepper, and I would
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: just have to say, I think he's my favorite quarterback
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: of all time. Yeah, we've got his autographed jersey over there.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: It was our first favorite quarterback probably.
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he definitely was.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the whole this thing that was
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: that was awesome, what a fun era.
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: So Dante at quarterback for four bucks.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: Then I took Adrian Peterson at five bucks, and I
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: was a little nervous at how the rest of it
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: would shake out because I spent nine bucks.
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: Boom boom right away.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: But I know the importance of having a good quarterback
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: and a good running back and prime Adrian Peterson for
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: the Vikings was unstop him, so I knew when he
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: was still there, I had to pick him up. Then
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: I went with Stefan Diggs and Adam Thielen for wide
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: receivers and TJ. Hawkinson at tight end. Again, I can't
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: really complain, maybe not the best era of receivers. I
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: maybe could have improved a little bit in the receiver game, but.
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: I'll take it. Yeah, I'll take it, in roll with it.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: Solid team, my team, I believe. Please silently double check
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: and correct me if I'm wrong. You don't have to
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: be silent about correcting me. But I'm pretty sure I
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: have the most Hall of Famers on my team, Okay,
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: which is not exactly what I was going for when
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: I was picking.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: Already Hall of famers or are you including future Hall
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: of famers current Hall of famers?
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: So obviously quarterback. Yes, he only had one good Vikings year,
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: another terrible Vikings year, and the rest he was a
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: jet or a packer. But my quarterback, Brett farv pretty
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: good two thousand and nine, I mean, very honorable. One
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: of the top seasons of my fan hood, for sure,
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: because I was a little young for ninety eight and
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: all the other ones.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: So I do have a fun story about the two
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: thousand and nine season and the playoffs after you finished, Okay,
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: it's funny.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: So my quarterback, Brett Farm running back Dalvin Cook, who
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: very electric, top easily top five Vikings running backs of
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: all time. Yeah, probably top two or sorry. Top three, yeah,
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: very good, and then I landed the goats of wide receivers.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: I'm missing Randy Moss, but I do have Chris Carter
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: and future Hall of Famer probably if he keeps up
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: what he's doing now, justin Jefferson, which we kind of
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: joked about before we started actually drafting, if you wanted
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: to spend nine dollars, you could get both of those,
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: and I did. And then my tight end was I'm
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: pretty stoked to get Jimmy Klein Saucer again. Maybe one
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: of the best Vikings all around, when you consider everything
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: on the field, off the field, you know, storyline, person wise,
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: maybe the best Viking of all time.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: So something I was interested in and then i'll tell
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: my story, was to see which players would be left
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: on the board between the three of us, because this
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: is a it's a five by five grid, so there
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: are twenty five players, and there are three of us
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: picking five players each, so there are ten players that
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: are still left on the board. So I'll just recap
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: the ones left on the board if you're still listening
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: and you're not able to watch, just because it's interesting
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: to see who wasn't taken. So in the quarterback column,
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: fran Tarkenton not taken greatest quarterback in Viking's history.
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: I think, and I don't know that many people could
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: argue that.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I mean statistically tenure in longevity, and
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: he did it two different times. He started with the Vikings,
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: went to the Giants, came back. He is a Hall
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: of famer.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: I'm hoping jj usurps him when we're all said done
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: here twenty years, but yeah, you can't. You can't, really
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: are you that point?
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: And also left on the board Kirk Cousins, And I
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: don't know that that's because nobody likes him. I think
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: that was just because he isn't necessarily as good as
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: the other guys on the board.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: And at least to us, which that one, you could
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: argue two or three where he lists as far as
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: an overall Vikings career, Yeah, far was great. Darnold were great.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: They were both essentially one and done, but.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: Kirk had the longevity with the organization to really rack
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: up some meaningful stats. So anyways, those are your two
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the category running backs, Chuck Foreman and Robert Smith.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: We weren't alive for the Chuck Foreman days. But of
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: course we know how good they were. He was a
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: heck of a back. Yeah, and it was in the
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: days when you relied on your running game more than
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: the NFL does now. So no shade thrown to him
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: at all. And then Robert Smith as well, who I mean,
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: we've had his signed jersey in the background of this
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: set before. He was a really to get back to,
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: and I think he wisely ended his career on his
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: terms rather than uh, you know, prolong anything and make
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: matters worse for himself, which I think some of us
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: as fans were like, come on, man, dang it.
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: Chuck Foreman, pretty sure he follows us on Twitter.
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: Oh nice, shout out to check Forman.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: Percival, Harvin William J Personal Harvin the Third.
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: I think I'm wrong on the J, but that's I'm
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: right on everything. I think. I think the third I'm
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: pretty electric.
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: I saw something recently in an interview with somebody. He
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: admitted that he never played a game, not high.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: What no wayes collegiate career at Florida probably it probably
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: goes back to high school. Kind of shocked. He really
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: was a great He was an electric. He was a firecracker, though,
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: like literally every time he touched the ball, and he
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: could have scored a touchdown. Yep. Whether he definitely play
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: making ability and strong, I'll never get forget. There's one
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: play where like a linebacker went to tackle him and
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: basically just shoved his shoulders and like Percy like basically
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: laid down but then stood right back up, never touched
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: the ground, and then I don't know if he scored
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: a touchdown. Dude was strong. Yeah, he couldn't get out
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: of his own way though.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: Yep, so Percy, Harvin, Sammy White, Jake Reed, and Sydney Rice.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: Sammy White. Again was kind of an era that we're
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: not alive for as Vikings fans, So it's tough to
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: really like have that personal connection with him as fans,
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: but we know that he was really good and again
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: played it just in a different era. Jake Reed always
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: played like a second and or third fiddle to Carter
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: and Moss in that mid nineties late nineties era.
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: I still put up some numbers, but he.
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was super good. And that was really when
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: the NFL started to air it out. They were going
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: to this air raid offense style, and running backs were
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: not as useful. Still useful, but quarterbacks were thrown a
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: million times a game and receivers were racking up all
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: sorts of catches and yards. Sidney Rice, he was really
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: I think only that memorable during the Brett Favre.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was a product of Brett Farber. He was good,
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: but injury prone. Never really did anything until or after
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: Brett Favre was a Viking, but definitely got a decent
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: payday in Seattle because of that two thousand and nine.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then in the tight end category, Steve Jordan
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: and Vicente.
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: Said, I might be wrong.
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: Shanko, who also flourished when farv was there and then
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: was kind of a no name before and after that.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: First I'm just going to tell you now, Shanko is
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: famous because he was in the background of what was
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: a locker room video or interview with a different player.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: I think I remember bearing about that. So he's a
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: very gifted man, like a scary gifted man, Like, oh
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: my gosh, I can't believe you don't know how to
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: pronounce his name. I just fumble over it, like I
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: can't believe there's someone built like that. So fun.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: We're gonna move on from that. Here's my funny story
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: really quick about the like two thousand and nine year
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: with Brett Favre. Obviously, if you've been a Vikings fan,
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: you know went to the NFC Championship game, lost to
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: the Saints, bounty gate, the whole thing. So my daughters
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: have been playing this game with me, like when we're
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: in the car, they'll throw two random teams and say
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: which one would you rather have?
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: Dad?
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: So they love to do like, well, okay, Vikings or Packers,
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: and like, God, it's the Vikings. It's never gon to
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: be the Packers. Okay, Packers or Bears. I hope they
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: hits the stadium because I hate the Paw.
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: So then they they know some of the other teams.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: So I think one of them was like, uh, Broncos
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: or Saints, and I'm like, oh, that's a tough one
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: because right now the Broncos have a coach that coached
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: for the Saints and they're like, oh okay, and I
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: was like, well, when he was the coach for the
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: Saint Saints, he did some bad things and I don't
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: really like that.
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: And they're like, well, what.
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: Did he do?
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: And I kind of told him.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: I'm like, well, he told his players to go hurt
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: people for money, and it was pretty bad. And then
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: he got in trouble for it, and he got a
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: time out from the league. He couldn't coach for.
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: A whole year.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: And they're like really, and I'm like, yeah, so next
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: time I give you a time out, just remember I
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: could give you a time out for a whole year.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: But anyways, my youngest daughter goes, wow, that was really bad, dad,
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: We should pray for him right now.
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: So that's what we did.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: We stopped and prayed for Sean Payton in the cars.
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: You're a bigger man. Obviously you were muttering other words
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: under your breath as they were praying for them.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: Or probably probably, but anyways, that was a fun story,
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: also a fun game. I really enjoyed that, something that
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: we might have to come back to at some point
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: some iteration of that.
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. So There's one one thing that podcast, friend of
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: the show, the Manstream podcast, they do a draft every episode.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: That's kind of where we took this this frum. It's
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: also like a thing that a lot of people are doing.
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: But what they also do is with their draft, they
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: post up the individual results of the draft, and on socials,
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: I think really Facebook because you can have different reactions,
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: like instead of liking it, you can love something or
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: care it or whatever, and they have people vote with
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: their reactions. I mean, it might take a few minutes
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: to put together, but I wonder if we can throw
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: out our own little skull hot posts and have people
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: vote on who they think have.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we can definitely throw that out there. What we'll
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: also do is maybe we can post a blank grid
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: of this and then if you want to participate too,
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: you can draft your own players. Absolutely, you can definitely
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: pick whoever you want off the grid, but you could
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: drop those.
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: Now you can't. JJ McCarthy, it was not on.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: The board, on the grid, on the grid for five
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: years from now.
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: Maybe he's on the grid.
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: He will cost five dollars. Yeah, he might be ten
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: dollars for JJ McCarthy, you'd have five dollars left for
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: the rest of your time. I don't care. He would,
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: he would lift up the team is a winner. Hey,
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: I'm with you. I want you to be right. It
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: was like the most excited you're ever asked me about
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: the vikings here. So you're wearing a McCarthy jersey under
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: that sweatshirt, don't you really am not a vikingscar. I
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: can see it, dude. I don't lie now just because
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: you're being recorded. You don't have to lie. There's a
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: Michigan football number here.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: But well, we will post a lot of things out
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: there and allow you to participate in those, not allow you.
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: You ask you, Yeah, we want you to participate. We
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: invite you to participate.
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, send us your fifteen dollars draft whoever you would
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: pick and spend fifteen dollars on if you were given
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: the choice, and vote on ours too. Well, we'll take
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: the final version of what we did today, and if
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: you like forests, we'll have we'll put it in the
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: description somewhere, some particular reaction for forests. If you think
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: his is the best, if you think mine's the best,
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: or if you think Gosten's is the best, we'll give
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: us a vote and we'll see who wins.
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, we have this imaginary third segment here,
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: and I think we should just really quickly circle back
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: around to the football topics that we've been talking about
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks.
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: There hasn't been a ton of news.
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of baseless rumors too, more like what
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: if this happened. One that I think is hilarious lately
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: is apparently the Vikings. They're not but apparently there were
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: rumored to be interested in trading for Matt Stafford, which
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: doesn't make any sense to me. Like one, if you're
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: gonna do anything at quarterback other than JJ McCarthy, you
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: just try to sign Sam Donald, who just proved that
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: he gave you a pretty good year even though he
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: fell apart Matt Stafford. He's old, gonna be older, gonna
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: be expensive, probably still not you know, totally done yet,
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: But that just doesn't make any sense Vikings wise, I
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: think people are only saying it because of Kevin O'Connell
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: and there. Yeah, but like I said, one skin, what
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: are you doing with JJ if you're signing exactly because
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: even Sam Donald, you're you're not signing him for one year?
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's gonna demand multi year now, and as
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: he should because he I mean, I want to bring
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: up another after we get done talking about this, because
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: it kind of correlates. So yeah, but I think the
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: obvious what will happen is JJ McCarthy unless for some
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: for some reason he's not healthy and the reports were
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: getting that he's already practicing and like running around the
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: football field are just fake unless that's you know, him
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: being healthy is all a lie. JJ McCarthy is QB one,
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: Like Vikings fans, that's where we are. If they franchise
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: tag Sam Donald so that they can trade him, it's
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy, and then the question is who is QB two.
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: That's at least how I view it. And I can't
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: really wrap my head around any other talking point for
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: quarterback for the Vikings.
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: Right you said you had another?
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it just was so I read an article on
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal's Day on how basically the quarterback,
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: you know, position is kind of dried up, especially this year.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: You look at a free agency. I mean, yeah, you
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: you have Sam Donald. Who else you have?
• 57:00
  Speaker 4: Have?
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: Justin Fields, Aaron Rodgers, her cousins might be, Kirk cousins
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: could be. I mean they're thinking he will be. But
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: so you look at those names and then you look
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: at the the draft. The names are coming for the
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: draft this year, and it's it's underwhelming compared to last
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: year or the last several years. I'd say, so, it
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: just it was a well written article. Whoever, I can't
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: remember who wrote it, but put a lot of thought
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: into it. What do teams like, you know, the Tennessee Titans,
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: who had the first overall draft, who desperately need a quarterback,
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: but they may not use their first pick for a quarterback.
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: And that's why the likes of Sam Donald and Kirk
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: Cousins are both probably going to get thirty plus million.
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: I agreed, you know how we're talking how Sam Donald
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: kind of blew. He probably lost at least ten million,
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: you know, and and he might have lost a little bit,
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: but I think now looking at who is available, I
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: think he's gonna still make a ton of money.
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: The quarterback carousel in this league is never not entertaining.
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: Sorry for the double negative, but like it's just not in.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if it's five years ago, if it's
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: last year, if it's this year, if it's five years
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: from now. There will always be drama surrounding the quarterback
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: position because the NFL has a supply and demand issue
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: with quarterbacks. And that's because the supply is less than
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: the demand.
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and because of that, I'm gonna drop a hot take.
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: We did some hot takes on episode eighty last week. Yeah,
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna drop a hot take, and it's gonna be
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: a vague one that I'm gonna be like, oh yeah,
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: I was right, even though it's pretty wide open. I
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: think we're gonna see some form of a blockbuster trade
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: for a quarterback, to swap a quarterback from one team
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: to another that we're not expecting, like something like I
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: feel like we wouldn't be super shocked if Matt Stafford
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: got traded, but like Justin Herbert or somebody else, somebody
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: like that who's pretty good that we wouldn't expect. Some
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: other team is going to offer another team kind of
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: a franchise altering offer that you can't really refuse for
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: a pretty good, Pro Bowl worthy quarterback.
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: That we're not expecting. And that's my hot take. I'm
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: just gonna say that right now.
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: You're not gonna get any more specific.
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: I'd love you to at least narrow down to I've
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: heard two names from you. I'd love to hear like
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: a top three of who you think those quarterbacks are.
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, who are the top quarterbacks in the league
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: right now? Like you've got Joe Burrow who that would
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: be crazy shocking. I don't think Mahomes is ever really
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: going to go anywhere. But I think a guy like
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: Justin Herbert is intriguing. I think, I mean, shoot, I'm blanking.
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: I think Kyler Murray could be had for the right price.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: I think throw some quarterback names at me right now.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: Matt Stafford, I really wouldn't be shocked if he's traded.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: But that's why I'm saying, yeah, yeah, I don't even
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: know if a guy like Prescott, you know, with his
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: massive amount of money that he's making me Dallas and
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: his injury history. But yeah, that that even would be
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: a name Trevor Lawrence and maybe that wouldn't even be
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: super shocking. But like something like that, I think I'm
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: thinking along the lines of someone like Justin Herbert.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: I have to interrupt you because I have a blockbuster
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: trade of my own. I just cracked a different beer,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: and I didn't tell you guys.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: We're not cheating on lion Bridge today. I know we are.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 3: We have another lion Bridge beer, okay man.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: And this is I bought extra because you know, when
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: the three of us are together we can put down
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: six no problems. So I got some more. This is
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: the spice must flow, so this is the lion Bridge episode.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: We're just we're going all in on lion Bridge beer.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: It's their black ale, maple, cinnamon and milange. You guys
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: need to finish your compensation because that's really good. But
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: holy buckets, is there some flavor.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: In the beer?
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: It is so good. I just tried it. I really
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: want you guys to try it. Have you had this
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: one for us?
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I've had this one. It's got
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: a good smell ale with these these spaces and yeah,
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: black ale.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: You can see it's black. It is pitch black. So
• 1:01:36

• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: expect and I'm kind of glad that you're not overpowered
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: right away with the cinnamon because Cimon beers, man, some
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: of them had They're just way too power.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: Simon's just an extreme spice says. So it's well balanced.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: That's good, but I.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: Would say it's pretty well balanced. I want you to
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: try it, though. I want to know you're odds.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: Very different from what we the the compensation.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: Like night and day different.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: How did I get more head on mine than you did?
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: That? Weird talk about black that's crazy very good flavor.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: Maple for sure, Like if you didn't tell me anything
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: else about the spar just said, hey, take a sip. Yeah,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: that maple for sure.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know what milange is, do you know? I
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: am not sure.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: Let's look it up.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: This is really that maple is fantastic and I'm I'm
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: a big I'm a big fan of maple and beer.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: Well done. Though I know I haven't had this, I
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: would have remembered that type of flavor.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: I think it's some sort of herbal thing, so.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: It might I might might be cutting some of that sweetness.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: It's a mixture, a medley, a mixture of tender vegetables
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: and herbs.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: What does melane me?
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: So it makes the beer healthy. There we go.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: Maybe not vegetables, but it's a mixture of things. It's
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: definitely a mixture and vitamin C and this bad boy
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: or what definitely a mixture of maple and cinnamon. Well done,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: lion Bridge again in.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: This male lounge.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but yeah, it's just got It's packed
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: with flavor, and it's called the Spice must Flow. I
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: think it's a pretty good name for the beer because
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: the spices are flowing.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this might be one of my favorites from lion Bridge.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: It's good, It's got a lot of flavor, and as
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: soon as I took that first tip.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: I was like, whoa. The smell alone was was intriguing. Yeah,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: we talk about one the compensation being a Beers beer,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: you know that that darker the English mild Ale definitely
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: a Beers beer. This one is like an experience. It's
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: still a really good beer, but it's they're very different
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: in great it's a mouthful of different things going on
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: with the dark aroma of the black and you get
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: that more than Maulty. It's it's it's it's not it's roasty.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: Roasty is the word I'm looking for sure. And uh yeah,
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: but that I love that maple. It's not overpowering, but
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: it's lingers. It lingers.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: I think it's kind of like for me, it'd be
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: a really good like Christmas time.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can see that. I know, I know lion
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: Bridge does. I think like a winter warmer more along
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: those lines. So, but this is great. Yeah, I will
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: seek really both of them out. But this spice must flow, Yeah,
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: I'll seek that out for sure.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, both really good. Lion Bridge we've had yet before.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: We've actually been there before too. Yeah, really cool spot
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: in Cedar Rapids.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: It's it's a fantastic Brey fantastic spot in Cedar Rapids.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: Their food is really good too, so we didn't eat,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: so we just had Their food is phenomenal. All right,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: Now we have a mission.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 3: Yes we do. Weich trip we do too.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: We do need to start talking about our brew Hop
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: version two point.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: Zero somewhere around episode one hundred. That's what we're aiming for.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: We're not going to promise anything, but that's the.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: Goal, which is looking like June July ish somewhere in
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: the Yeah, I can't wait.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: So any last thoughts on football before we kind of
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: wrap that conversation up.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: Sorry awkwardly no shifted that.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but beer, good beer. All I have to say
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: is Combine is happening this this week. The first day
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: I think is tomorrow. So as we're releasing the episode,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: that's when the rumors start coming out because conversations are
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: kind of happening back door players are getting an idea
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: of what value they're going to get in free agency.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: I'm just really excited for actual news and not Matt
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: Stafford might go to the Vikings ridiculous type headlines because
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: I just want substance that you can actually believe, whether
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: or not it actually happens. I just want real news.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: If you remember, it was the Combine last year when
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: the illegal tampering happened with Kirk Cousins. Yeah, yeah, going
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: to the Falcons. So yeah, you're definitely correct in that.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: This is when the off season news cycle really starts
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: to percolate and it doesn't necessarily like explode yet, but
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: things are coming and as Vikings fans, we get excited
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: with each little tidbit.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: That we get down the line. So should be good.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 3: Any last thoughts from you football wise?
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: No, I think, I mean I understand with Combine and
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: then it's exciting for obviously free agency. I always look
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: forward to the draft. College college football is my jam,
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: and so I was. I always look forward to that.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: I know we got a few months, but draft is
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: in Green Bay this year. Yeah that'll be interesting. Yeah,
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: it's them. How are they gonna do it like that?
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: You need internet to post like the the somebody who
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: picked this guy, and they're not gonna They might have
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: dial up there, I don't know. It's it's Green Bay.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: They kind of three base sucks. That's what I have.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: Good beer.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 3: They do have a really good beer.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: Why do you always have to make good points for us?
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 5: All right?
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: Well, you know who else has good beer is Lion Bridge.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: We've tried two of their beers. Tonight we tried Compensation,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: which is a mild English ale, really straightforward, easy drinking,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: multi roasty card.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. If I like to describe it as like a
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: pub ale, something you just sit down at the bar
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: and the bartender just gives you a beer. That's that's
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: a beer that he knows. Almost everyone's gonna like. I
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: feel like the Compensation it could be both your first
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: spear of the night and your last beer. Just just
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: get it started and then you know, just one more
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: before you go home. It's a it's a good beer.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: It's a solid beer without being too much.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: And then we finished, or we are currently finishing with
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: the Spice must Flow, which is black ale and it's
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: got a lot of maple and cinnamon flavors in what
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: I would say is a milange.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: Apparently from the research, this the milange.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 3: The day I could I could be pronouncing that entire milanie.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: Dude, mel.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: It's like It's like one of those words that everybody
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: knows it's pronounced this way, and I pronounced it this is.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: This is the episode where we have so many mispronunciations
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: between players' names and yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 3: Miss Sante operating.
• 1:08:56

• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: a college football guy, you know, these guys coming in, and.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: That's what happened last year. So I think we found
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: a nice little groove here. You know, get that beer
• 1:09:36
