  Speaker 1: All right, Hey, Vikings fans, welcome in to another episode
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: of the School Hop. I'm Evan and I'm Austin. Were's
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: a couple of dudes from Iowa. We like drinking beer
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: and talking about the Vikings. Yeah, we do, and we
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: have to do it. We have to recap this recent
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Vikings loss to the Rams, and to do that, we
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: kind of go over the rosens and thorns of that game.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: But in order to kind of prevent us from getting
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: too dark on this Vikings team, I look at some
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: other teams in the NFL that I'm really glad we're
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: not fans of at this point, and there's a few
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: of them too, Yeah, for sure. And then after that
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: we look ahead to the upcoming Vikings Colts game on
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football after it was flexed. Let's not forget though,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: you had to suffer the wrath of the Wheel of
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Purple punishments this week. Yeah, but then we tried out
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: some really good beer from Big Road Brewery, so that
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: made it a little bit better. Yeah, and the beer
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: really good. Would recommend you'll have to check out the
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: episode if you want to know what that is. But
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: if you're not into beer or even If you are
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: and you don't like this beer, grab your favorite beverage.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Join us school School all right. Shout out to Big

  Speaker 1: Big Top Ventures. All right. We spun the wheel of
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Purple Punishments. Yes, while we were live streaming Vikings rams
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: on last Thursday night. I feel especially bad for you
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: because not only did the Vikings lose, but you had
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: to spin the wheel. Ultimately. I chose it right, So
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I chose so I guessed wrong. I predicted a Vikings
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: win when we did our preseason picks. You predicted a
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Vikings loss because you're apparently not as big of a
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: fan as I am. But because because they lost, you
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: did not have to be subject to the wheel of
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Purple punishments. I did, and it was a doozy spoiler alert.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: We already did this and it was awful. It was awful.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: It was awful. Don't ever do it. But you were
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: watching me the whole time. I think it was slightly
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: entertaining it. I was entertained. Yeah, yeah, I thought it
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: was funny. So, yeah, we spun the wheel. I knew
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: for five days. However, long now that I is gonna
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: have to do the Cinnamon Challenge and I've been dreading it.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I told my wife about it. She looked it up
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and apparently the first thing she saw was like this
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: article about how it's detrimental to your health because like
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: people who do the cinnamon Challenge, you know, you puff
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: it out because you fail, and then you breathe it
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: in and cinnamon's all up in your air whives. She's like,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I'm not okay with this. I'm sorry. It's my podcast.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna do it. Evan did the the apple
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: cider Vinegar, so I have to do the cinnamon Challenge.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: But yeah, we did that earlier. And we're gonna splice
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: it in right now, right, We're gonna take you away
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: from the desk here, we'll take you into the footage
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: of Austin doing the Cinnamon Challenge and we'll be right
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: back all right.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: So I gotta do the cinnamon challenge all the way
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: back to what twenty twelve is, when that was popular online.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: I'm not looking forward to this. I know that I'm
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: gonna make a mess.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: That's why we're not at the desk right now, trying
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: to preserve the.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Environment that we record in.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: But I think it's just a spoonful. Oh no, I'm
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: already making a mask. I don't worry about it.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: We'll clean it up later.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: I do in here. I want to do it right.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: I don't want to Yeah, we need more cinnamon on there. Yeah,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: they will lump. Don't worry about the floor, just put
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: it on there. We do have a towel here there
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: you go.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: Just oh yeah, alright?
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: How does that look of Alex bear scoop? That looks wonderful.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: All right, there's a hair on here.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Oh that's gross. I think it's like a fuzz hair,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: not like a person.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Hare.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: All right, every want to set this down really quick.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I hope that was still on frame. I'm not gonna
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: try to say I'm cheating this at all. This is
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: a lot of cinnamon, man.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Just get it over with.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I'd rather do a shot off a side or vinegar
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: school school. All right, we can edit this little bit
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: too if we have to, but.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: I can't make myself do it here it goes all right?
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: Oh no, m how long until you're gonna be able
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: to talk? So we're doing this before the episode, so
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: we still have an entire episode to record. You're gonna
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: have to like, this is gonna have to be washed
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: down eventually. How are you feeling right now? You're holding
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: it together?
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Really well.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: I'm crying from laughing over here, so I can only
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: imagine what you're going through. Hey, this has been a
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: solid like fifty seconds now that you've held it down.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Nice job. I'm impressed, well.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: A lot.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, cinnamon, so it's a spice all right, man,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: that's bad.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I'm a little bummed that there wasn't this big poof
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: of brown power.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: How much is still left in your mouths? Most of it? Wow?
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, so we're a solid minute in now we're well
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: over a minute.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Okay. There's a reason.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: There's a reason you sprinkle this on stuff, and I
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: just ingest it entirely.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: All right, it is it is gone. Oh that was awful.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Don't ever do that. Don't ever do that?
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: All right, Well, twelve years later, we're resurrecting the cinnamon challenge.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: Twelve years from now. My kids are gonna find this.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Just laugh at me. Hopefully that you can wait that long.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: And it's not like tomorrow. That was awful. That was
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: I didn't expect to burn. I know cinnamon is a spice,
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: but like, all right, I like spicy.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: Stuff, but that's like a I don't know, like a
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: surn in your throat or where did it burn?
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: So I looked up some tips and tricks on how
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: to win, all right. And one thing I think that
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: really helped me from poofing it out right online that
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: when you're putting the putting the cinnamon in there, if
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: you can like stick your tongue to the back of
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: your throat to keep it from going down your throat
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: and then it's under your tongue, so hopefully you can
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: salive a look at that.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: So call me a cheet or if you want, I'll say.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: I strategized.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Once it's in your mouth, there's really nothing we can
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: do about it.
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: But then man, it just needed Then it just turned
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: into a ball of wet.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Burning cinnamon. Who don't ever do that?
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Do what ever?
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Do nicely done. I'm just gonna angle this down really quick. Yeah,
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: very little mess.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: We did have a.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Towel ready to go, and that's all for me pouring it.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: But nice job.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: You successfully completed any Cinemon challenge.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: And I need some beered, some water in the Vikings cup.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: There so school, these same cups.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: And uh, let's go record episode sixty four.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: What do you say? I'm down for that.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Let's go.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: All right, school school, all.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Right, we are back. How'd that feel? Man? That? Yeah?
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I was awful. Don't ever do it. Don't ever do
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the Cinemon challenge. I think I did okay, I think
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: you did great. Honestly, like all things considered, I don't
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: think I could have done as well as you did.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: It was impressive. Well, like I said, I kind of
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't cheat, but I strategized a little bit. I
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: looked up best ways to complete it. And maybe if
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: you think I cheated, that's fine with me. I did it,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: you didn't, but don't ever, don't ever attempt it. It was awful.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I love spicy food. I wasn't ready for that. Wasn't
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: even like a horseradish burn or anything. That was just
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: a burn. I'm still feeling it. Is it like a
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: like a whiskey burn. Almost, I'm making like a fireball
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: burn because that's like cinnamon whiskey. Yeah, I didn't think
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: about it till now, but yeah, you're absolutely right, but
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: like worse worst because it's like powdered cinnamon and not
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: liquid whiskey going down your throat. And for like a minute,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I couldn't talk because I was afraid of opening my
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: mouth or even trying to do the like who talk like?
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I couldn't. I couldn't talk, couldn't open my mouth, my
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: eyes were watering. I probably turned red. I'm probably still red.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Don't ever do it. Don't ever do that, and I
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: will never want to do the purple punishments ever again.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: What do you say? We opened some beers. I need it.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: I need it bad, and we've been we've waited long enough.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: And actually, viewers out there, listeners out there, you won't
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: know how long this actually took. It's been probably a
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: solid half hour, younger than a half hour, probably closer
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: to forty five minutes. But you did that, and now
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: you've all you've had is water. Yeah, the water was
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: that saved my life. That was even after I got
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: to send him in down. Oh, man, don't do it.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: You brought some beer tonight. Yeah, well, don't you tell
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: us about it? All right? So this is from one
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: of our favorite Iowa breweries. They're all great, but this one,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It's one of the bigger ones, Big
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Grove Brewery. We've had them plenty of times. I've never
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: had this one. Have you ever had this specific one?
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: I've seen this one and I've thought about getting it
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: for the podcast. I think it's relatively new, at least
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: on the shelves at our local hobby. I'm excited to
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: try it. What is it? Yeah, so it's the Big Grove.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: It's called wade Wisely, it's a coffee oatmeal stout. The
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: can is really cool. It's got some fish on there.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I was going to try to say the kind of
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: fish that I think it is, but I would just
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: out myself as someone who doesn't know anything about fish.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: They look like salmon. We'll go with that. It probably
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: says on the salmonut if you know, if you know
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: what kind of fish these are, Big Grove let us know.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I was thinking trout and I said salmon. That was
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: a bad mistake, and I like fish and it looks
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: like and Evan, we'll have you read the can because
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: you do so good at that in a minute, but
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: it does look like this beer benefits charity or some
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: sort of that. Again, wade wisely, it's a coffee oatmeal stout.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: We're both coffee fans, coffee snobs probably sure. And then
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: it says with rock the house blend by JBC Coffee Roasters.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: So I admittedly never heard of JBC coffee, but apparently
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: it's in collaboration with them. So here's what the can says.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Every autumn across Iowa was driftless area Brook and brown trout.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Should have just read the can. We can edit that. Uh,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: it's okay, I'm okay, sounding foolish, Every autumn across i
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: was driftless area Brook and brown trout work tirelessly to
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: create and guard their spawning beds called reds. It's important
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: these areas not be disturbed as wading through a single
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: red can hundreds of eggs. The next time you're on
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the stream, please take your time to read the water.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Move slowly and most importantly, weighed wisely. The namesake of
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the beer proceeds from This project support the driftlest of
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Flathon projects to educate the public and improve the overall
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: quality of iowas trout streams. I've always wanted to go
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: fly fishing, yeah, and I've never done it, but maybe
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: this beer will be like, all right, we gotta take
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the plunge and figure that out. All right, Well, before
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: we do that, let's let's try this beer. Let's pour
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: them up. It's a coffee stout, so I was expecting
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: it to be dark, and it's black as night. It's
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: very dark. Good poor of not bad good poor. You
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: can definitely smell the coffee in there. So, oh man,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: that was quite the poor yourself. I was too heavy
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: handed on that one. I like a strong poor, but
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: that that was a lot. I'm gonna need to let
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: this die down for a second. You can have some
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: phone your mustache there. Yeah, that's okay. At least it's
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: not cinnamon. Yeah, I guess we gotta here. Let me
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: let me put my can where it needs to go,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: all right, wade wisely school school. Mmm, that's good. That
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: is really good. I like that. That's a that's a
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: good fall beer. Oh yeah, in a in a different
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: vein than what We've been having October fests and things
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: like that, So I like it. I'm a really big
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: big fan of the line and Google's Vanilla Porter. Oh yeah,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: what is it called snow Drift. It's a good one.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: This is not exactly like it, but it reminds me
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: of it in all the best ways.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I like this a lot. Although how dare you bring
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: up a Wisconsin beer on our Minnesota Vikings, Iowa Beer podcast.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: I would be a liar if I said Wisconsin didn't
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: put out good beers. You're right. I think I did
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: give you moon Man on a show at one point,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: New Glarus Glaris, So I'm just as guilty as you are. Yep.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: So yeah, this is This is as dark as I've
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: ever seen a beer. Definitely tastes like a coffee oatmeal stout.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: It's really good. It's not it's not so intense on
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the coffee flavor though, Like the coffee flavor is really
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: mellow in the background, So it's not like a like
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Tips the Cow from a Single Speed in Waterloo. Great beer,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: and I like their coffee stout a lot, but it's intense,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: like that coffee flavor just boom hits you in the face.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I'd have to go back and look at our beer list,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: but I feel like we've had another. I remember now
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: it was. It wasn't a stout, it was that whole
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: latte Love of Love from House Divided in Ely. Also
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: another coffee beer that the coffee flavor just holy buckets,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: hits you right in the face. It's really good. Don't
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: get me wrong, but this is not like that. If
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: you're hesitant on coffee beers. If you're like no, I
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: don't think I can mix those two, try this one.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Wade Wisely from Big Grove. Obviously, Big Grove is a
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: pretty reputable brewery and supports a good cause. Yeah, that
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: is nice too. I like to Maybe I'm a sucker
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: for it, but I like the beers that support a
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: specific cause. And yeah, again I'm not at the an
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: avid fisherman, but I can get behind this cause you know,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: it's a good thing and a great beer. Yeah, if
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: you like coffee, you'll have to like coffee pretty much,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: or this is the coffee flavor. If you like coffee, yeah,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: you'll like this one. Good stuff. And thanks for bringing
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: in yeah, and thank you Big Grove for making it
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: all right. Well, It's been a rough week for the Vikings,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: a rough like seven eight days, two losses in a
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: little more than what seven or eight days for the
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Vikings five days the difference in time between those two losses. Yeah,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: and not only that, but the Lions kept rolling on
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Sunday and the Packers won two and a tight one
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: that was really annoying. They won. A win is a win,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: but man, they were so close. And I'll leave the
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: other NFC North team out for now because I have
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: some thoughts later on, I have maybe a little surprise
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: second man hit me, but we'll keep that secret for now.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: We'll get to that. Okay, we'll get to that, But
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: right now, let's talk roses and thorns from the Vikings
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: lost to the Rams thirty to twenty on Thursday Night football. Yeah,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, it definitely feels like there's a lot of
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: thorns just the whole vibe of the Minnesota Vikings right now.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: This is one of the lowest five six day stretches
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: of Vikings fandom we've had in a long time. Definitely
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: this season. It's the lowest of the low because not
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: only do you lose to the Lions, a close one
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: one that got really close and was decent and heartbreaker
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: to lose to the Lions after the way the Lions
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: have been looking to play him that good and almost
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: win it, and then you lose to a Rams team
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: that you felt everybody in the world felt like the
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Vikings should have beat. But credit to the Rams. They're
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: they're still a good team, and they got a big
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: help by getting Cooper Cup and Pukinakua back. Yeah, the
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: timing of those two returned to the Rams was crucial
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: for them, and I don't think they win that game
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: if those two are sitting on a bench. Yeah. And
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: then obviously the last offensive play of the game for
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: the Vikings, which no football game ever comes down to
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: one play, and the Vikings would have had to have
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: mounted a pretty decent drive, a really good drive to
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: come back and tie the game, but to have an
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: end on a just awful and blatant face mask. That
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: was a safety. And a friend of the show, Dustin Baker,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: pointed out in one of his stories this week that
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: that was a scoring play, and I thought all scoring
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: plays were reviewable, and apparently even on a reviewable play
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: like that, a game altering play, Apparently you still can't
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: look at face masks, I don't know. And to say
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: you can't see it when you're five feet away from
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: it and there's pictures of you looking right at it.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Good job refs. Anyways, that's that's as crazy as I'm
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: going to get roses and thorns. Yeah, well, that's obviously
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: the biggest thorn of the game. And we can start
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: with thorns because they think it might be helpful, it
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: might be therapeutic to just get the crappy part out
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: of there. Then we can move on to the positive
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: stuff in a minute. But I think with that obvious
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: missed face mask penalty number one, I think it prompts
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: a serious look by Roger Goodell, the officiating committee and
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: everyone else involved this offseason probably like they have to
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: be able to review stuff like that. They have to
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: be able to go back look at a play, and
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: they should be able to call a penalty. And I
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: said this not too long ago. I can't remember when
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I said it, and I don't remember if I said
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: it just directly to you, like they're a text or
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: on air or whatever. But I think the NFL needs
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: to redefine holding because you can call a holding penalty
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: on pretty much every single play that's ever snapped, and
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I think the NFL needs to redefine that penalty so
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: it's not so common anymore. There are egregiously more holding
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: penalties than any other penalty. I think in the game
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: probably get statistical data on that. And then I think
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: once that move is made, then I think you make
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: penalties reviewable once you have a solid definition of what
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: is a hold and what is not and who can
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: be guilty of a hold, because I think maybe there
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: are some specific positions that could be more on the
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: hook for a holding penalty other than others, and then
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: you make all penalties reviewable because I think back to
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: what was it the the It was like early twenty tens,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: ten eleven, twelve, thirteen, the Saints, I forget what year
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: it was specifically, but there was a huge no call
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: pass interference. Yeah, at the end of a playoff game
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: involving the Saints. Sean Payton was livid and it wasn't
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: a call, and then I think the next season they
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: were like, okay, past interference reviewable and it lasted one
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: year and that was terrible as well. But hopefully the
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: officiating committee the league, hopefully they've figured some things out.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: I think they've got to get back to being able
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: to review stuff like this. And that's not just a
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: whiny vikings like oh, we lost the game because penalty. No,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: it's because far too many outcomes are determined by penalties anymore.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: And I think it helps the officials out too, like, Okay,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: we screwed that up in the moment because our job
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: is incredibly hard. Give us a leg to stand on,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: to go back and say, well, no, here's what video says. Everybody,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: all seventy thousand people in the stadium can see it,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: and the entire internet can see it three seconds later
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: when it's posted. I think you got to move to
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: something like that eventually. Yeah, And I think I think
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: what you mentioned that. I'm pretty sure it was the
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: NFC Championship game in like sixteen or seventeen, the year
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: that Jared Goff and the Rams went to the Super
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Bowl and ultimately lost. They went there because of that
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: no call on the passing defensive pass interference a little
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: later than I thought it was. I thought it was
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: like twelve thirteen somewhere in there. Now, yeah, thats just
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: a couple of years later. But I think that ultimately
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: led to this whole Eye and the Sky idea where
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: there's the team in New York that has the power
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: to jump into any game at any time. And I
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: think ultimately the goal of that Eye and the Sky
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: is to do what you just said. If everybody in
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: the world can see a blatant call and refs, I'll
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: say it again, Refs get the call right a creepy
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: amount more often than they get it wrong. But for
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: those times that humans are capable of making mistakes, mistakes
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: that are played to see by everyone on TV, the announcers,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: everyone in the three hundred sections of the stadium. If
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: everybody can see something, there should be an authority out
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: there that can immediately stop and say no, we're going
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: to get this right, rather than have a week of
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: media and everybody saying, hey, the NFL is terrible and
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: this one ref made one mistake, so all of a
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: sudden it's awful because it cost a team a game. Again,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: we're not saying that that face mask was the sole
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: reason the Vikings lost, but it definitely put that final
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: nail in the cop and well it sure did. Yeah,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: And so yeah, we're not gonna sit here in like
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: whine and complain and you know what is us The
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Vikings could have come back and you know, marched down
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: the field and scored a touchdown, converted the two point
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: and tied it up and forced overtime and then come
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: back and like just that easy. You know, we realize
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: how far fetched that is, but I think that situation
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: just goes to show how crucial good officiating is, and
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: right now NFL officiating falls short of the bar. I
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: think in a lot of ways. And all of that
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: is a moot point. If earlier in the game, that
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: quick dump off pass from Sam Darnold to Jalen Naylor
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: is actually caught by Jalen Naylor. It was in his
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: biceps and he dropped. It would have been a good catch,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: but he still definitely most people should be able to
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: catch that, and not let alone a professional. That's just
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: one example of many. Oh yeah, we could go down
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: the list of how the Vikings did not deserve to
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: win that game, and so we can kind of get
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: back on track here with some of the other things
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: that just did not go well for the Vikings. Another
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: huge thrown This might be equally as bad as the
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: poor call that end of the game. The safety the
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: face mask. But Christian Darisaw he's out, yeah, and that
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: was tough. And he's out for a while too. It's
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: in the t J. Hockinson injury. Well, I don't want
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: to necessarily make you feel bad for something you said
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: on our live stream, but I don't even know where
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: you're going with this. Well, the Christian darri Saw injury
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: happened right before halftime, right and you were complaining that
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: the Vikings kneeled the ball. Had the Vikings just kneeled
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: the ball before he got injured, we might not be
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: talking about this right now. And you were complaining, you said, Oh,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: that's just a that's a sissy play right there, That's
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: just a cop out, that's a that's a loser mentality.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Why give up? Why go to the locker room when
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: you have I forget how much time was left on
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: the clock. I still stand by my mentality, and you
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: can stand by it. You can stand by it. But
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: I thought about that this week and I'm.
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: Like, huh, if he would have If Kevin O'Connell would
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: have just said, let's kneel it, let's get in the
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: locker room, let's regroup, Christen Darsaw might still be out there, man,
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: and that would be a huge boost for this team
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: that's really struggling.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and as of right now, we don't really have
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: a solid answer as to what they're going to do
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: to replace Christian Darsaw. You're not going to replace him
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: at his level. There's no one available in the trade
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: market that is a realistic The dude. The dude blocked
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: two guys in pass coverage two weeks ago against He
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: had a highlight. It's not often a left tackle has
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: like a legit Sports Center worthy highlight play unless it's
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: like a scoring play that they happen to be, you know,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: an eligible receiver. He had a highlight top ten Sports
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Center play and like throwing a guy and blocking like
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: three guys against the Lions and then going back and
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: making another key block. Crazy daresaw. This just in really
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: good at football and also maybe out for a full
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: calendar year. We might be saying Halloween next year, like, oh,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: it'll be really good to get Christian Darrisaw back. That's
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: a huge thorne for the Vikings and certainly doesn't help
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: getting this team back on tracked after two straight losses.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: It's tough, it's tough news I'm convinced more than ever
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: that this game is won or lost in the trenches.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: I really think that. And I've always been attracted to
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: the skill players. I've always been enamored by the receivers,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: the running backs. I've got a running back sign Jersey here,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: I've had a quarterback over there. Like. They've always been
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: my favorite players. I've loved watching them. They're fun, they're flashy.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: They're the ones that make the ninety seven yard catches.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: They're the ones that throw the ball sixty yards down
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: the field. Yeah, they're the flashy, fun ones to watch.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: But you can't throw the ball sixty yards down the
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: field if you don't have time to throw that ball.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: And I've been watching both offfense and defense in the
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: trenches for the Vikings more closely this year. And another
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: thorn I think we could move on to is the
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: really poor pass rush that the Vikings generated against this
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Rams team that has a pretty bad offensive line. Yeah,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: and especially an injured offensive line. And still they're pretty
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: awful for the Rams and the Vikings just they didn't
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: have a single sack. This might be the first game
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: all season they didn't get home to the quarterback and
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: I might be wrong on that. I don't know. Let
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: us know in the comments if I'm wrong. They didn't
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: have a single sack, and a guy like Matt Stafford
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: with weapons like Cooper Cup and Puka Nakua and Karen Williams,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: with those guys that are options for him to throw
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: to and everybody else on their team, he's going to
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: rip you apart all day if he has any amount
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: of time Matt Stafford can make time. You know, two
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: seconds for Matt Stafford is way longer than two seconds
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: for anybody else. And yeah, you just you didn't see
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: the pass rush, which really sucks because, hey, what do
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: the Vikings do in the first round this year other than,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: you know, pick a hopeful franchise quarterback the Brussure. Yeah,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: they basically traded a whole draft away for what seemed
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: like he was going to be a really good pass thrusher.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: But all we've heard about Dallas Turner the last couple
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: of weeks is where is he? Yep, he's had seven
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: defensive plays in the last two games. This is and
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: he's healthy, I think apparently, Yeah, apparently, if he's injured,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: he's not on the injury report. The NFL makes sure
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: if a guy is hurt, they got to be on
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: the report. And he kind of hurt at all. If
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: he stubs his toe and it's got a bruise, he's
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: got to be on the I will say I think
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: teams do get creative with how they put players on
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: that injury list. And he might be dealing with something
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: not major enough, and he might also be in that
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: spot where he's not a star yet, he's a rookie.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Nobody really knows who he is, Like, Okay, we can
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: kind of just keep this hush hush for a while.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Like I hope that's the case, Like I hope it's
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: like this is he's really good at football, and we
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: saw some flashes early on in the first handful of games,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: like he was involved, he had a sack or a nearsack,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: he got a pressure at least pretty sure he got
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: a sack in the Giants game, the first game of
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: the season. Yeah, so I think he is good at football.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: He's either slumping or they're compensating for something injury wise,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: and they don't want to put him on the injury
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: before and go figure. As the Flora's defense starts looking
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: human again, we see less and less of Dallas Turner,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: so I don't maybe they're trying new things. I have
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: no idea. We're not coaches. And every time I watch
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: like a film breakdown video on YouTube, I learned ten
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: more things. So I could know a lot more about
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: football than I do. And I sent you I sent
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: you a link earlier. I don't know if you listened
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: to it or not, but it was cam Bina being
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: interviewed on k Fan. I think it was today or
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: yesterday or something like that. But he had some interesting
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: thoughts to share and he he really seemed to stand
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: firm on the that the defense of woes right now
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: for the Vikings really just come down to execution. And
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: he did talk about how, you know, there's a lot
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: of tape out there now on this Flores defense, and
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: he didn't really say, yeah, we've been figured out and
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: nobody's gonna just nobody admit that, but he seemed to
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: bear the burden for the entire defense and say, Yep,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: it's us. We are the ones that need to go
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: out and play better. We just we have to, we
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: have to figure it out. So that was an interesting
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: interview for sure. Yeah, it's just for this defense that
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: was crowned the best in the world, you know, by
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: what week four to now look not great at all.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: That that's pretty disappointing, especially when it already happened. This
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: kind of thing happened last year. Remember the Bengals game,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: they just turned into pumpkins, and after that the Vikings
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: defense was nothing to be worried about. Yeah, I just
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: I hope they figure this out. Kind Of the same
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: on offense too, Koc. The offense is starting to look
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: better than the defense too, which I think is kind
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: of saying something. But Koc, like Floras, seems to have
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: been figured out. They're not hitting you know, the ninety
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: seven yard touchdowns, which those are anomalies anyways, but they're
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: looking more human than they ever have the last couple
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: of games, and even before that, you could point to
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: the second half of the Packer game and most of
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: the Jets game they just held on to win. It's
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: just it's frustrating to think that this team that was suddenly,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: you know, initially in the beginning of the season at
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: they'll win six games, they're not anything to worry about,
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: and then a few weeks later, holy crap, they're better
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: than the Chiefs. They're the first team in every power ranking,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: which those things are garbage. And now it's just like, oh, yeah,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: these are the Vikings are back. They've shown us who
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: they really are and it sucks to feel that way.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Another thorn. And we kind of already mentioned this briefly,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: but the other teams in our division continue to win.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: The Packers snuck one out and then the Lions look
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: like the best team in football. And I saw some
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: power rankings that came out today that crowned the Lions
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: is the best team in the league. And I don't
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: have any qualms with that. Like they looked outstanding, I
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: will say in defense of our defense that was a
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: weird phrase to say, but to support them a little bit,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: the Vikings still held that Lions team to their fewest
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: points in the lions last four games. I think the
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Lions went like forty something forty something thirty one against
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: the Vikings and then fifty two yesterday. So not to
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: say that thirty one is great. You don't want teams
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: to score that many points against you. But I don't
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: know that the Vikings defense has completely fallen off yet,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: and I still think there's hope. I think you get
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Blake Cashman back. Oh, I think that's the piece. I
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: think that's one of the key pieces for sure. I
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: think you get Dallas Turner more involved, get that young
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: kid going scheme up some things for him specifically, and
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: then get those older veteran guys around him to support him.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: And I think you got to get that. You got
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: to get the middle of the line figured out. Jerry
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Tillery and Harrison Phillips have to figure out how to
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: stop the run because that run has been so effective
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: up the middle, and then that just opens up the
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: rest of the field well. And I think Harrison Phillips
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: holds his own on the run. Yes, but you can't
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: just have one guy that's able to stop it. I
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: really think a couple of factors for this defense. Yes,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: there's tape out, so there's been more time to kind
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: of figure out Flora's scheme and how they can go
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: around it and do those quick passes and do the
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: little things to try to beat what the Vikings defense
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: are really good at. Also, Blake Cashman, you mentioned it
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: a second ago. He's been out the last two games
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: and oh look the Vikings have lost the last two games.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: I think Ivan Pace Junior is good, and he's better
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: than his UNDT status, But we were already crowning him
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: as like a perennial pro bowler and this like stalwart
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: of the defense and this cornerstone. But if you really
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: watch him, and I'm not gonna say i'ven't Paced Junior sucks,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: that's that's not the case. But he is blitzing a lot,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: not getting home a lot, and not doing a lot
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: of other things other than blitzing. And I think the
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: drop off from Cashman to Ivan Pace, we're really feeling it,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: and I think the whole defense is feeling it a lot.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: And correct me if I'm wrong. But Cashman wears the
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: green dot quite a bit, does He is the He's
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: the quarterback of the defense when he's out there, And
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: I think you're feeling it a lot. Like I don't
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: disagree with you at all. I don't disagree with you. Well,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: I want to I want to throw in a little
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: segment here before we get to the Roses. Yeah, of
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: this Vikings game, I thought this would be a good
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: a good chance for us to just consider the rest
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: of the league for a minute. And I've come up
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: with a list of teams that I'm glad we're not
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: feelings of Are you ready for this? This is kind
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: of funny because friend of the show Brian mentioned a
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: specific team to me today and he said, I'm really
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: glad I'm not a fan of this team. So let's
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: see if that team is on the list. I'm gonna
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: start at the bottom on my list. I'm gonna work
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: my way out because the last team or the first
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: team on my list is actually kind of funny. Okay,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: first teams that I'm glad we're not fans of Patriots. Yeah, now,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: right now, that's such a crazy thing to say, because
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: for twenty years, you know, we wish. My joke is
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: I always wish you had moved here from Boston and
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: that you turned me into a Patriots. But yeah, but this,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: like post Brady Belichick identity crisis is real and they
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: just have not figured it out. Robert Kraft has not
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: figured out how to bring the right people into that
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: organization to keep that thing going. They're trading away players.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: I don't even remember who it was. I just saw
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: something today. We traded somebody away, a linebacker or something
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: defensive player. They have a bad defense and they have
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: the worst offense in the NFL. So I'm glad we're
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: not fans of the Patriots. Yeah, the next team, I'm
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: glad we're not fans of We have to play this team.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: We the Vikings have to play this team not too
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: long from now, we travel there Tennessee. The Titans. Yeah. Man,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: they just got man handled by the Lions. Yes, they
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: got destroyed by the Lions. And the quarterback they traded
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: away only looks really good when the Packers throw them
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: on the field now, because he's who is it, Malik Willis.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: They traded him away to the Packers and it's not
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: like they got anything great for him. They're a good
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: team defensively, and I think that will be something that
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: the Vikings will have to be on the lookout for
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: when they play them. But I think if this Brian
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: Flores defense can get back on track, we can get
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: played cash Man healthy and they can fly around like
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: they were flying around in the first five games of
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: the season. I think they'll make mincemeat of that Titans offense.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: I just I think, and I know I'm just give
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: me five seconds. I think Cashman comes back. It will
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: be very telling to see if the defense goes back
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: up again. Oh, I agree with because I kind of
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: expect that to happen, just to get your brain back.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Then you're gonna be better and we'll be like hawking
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: that injury report all week to see if he comes back.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: We need that guy. He wasn't practicing today. Yeah. So anyways,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: next team, next team, worst record in the league. You
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: got an old man quarterback playing better than the sophomore quarterback,
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: no weapons anywhere really, and a guy that could make
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: his way back to Minnesota Panthers. Oh yeah, I thought
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: you were talking about a different team, which may still
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: be on the list, So I don't want to spoil it.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: If you say it, I'll be like, yeah, that's the
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: one I thought you were talking about. The Panthers. Mad
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: the that's rough because you trade away the farm just
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: over a year ago for a guy that looks like
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: he's already a bust. I mean that Bears, Panthers trade
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: for the first overall pick, which you do if if
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Bryce Young is the guy you think he's gonna be,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: then yeah, trade away a thousand first round picks. Who cares,
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: because then you have the best quarterback ever. But it
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: really stings too that c. J. Stroud is so good
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: that they could have had him. They could have picked
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Stroud over Bryce Young, Bryce Young, and yeah they failed.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it'd be tough to be a Panthers fan.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: I think the team that you initially thought I was
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: talking about is actually not on my list. But we'll
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: talk about them. We will talk well, I know we'll
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: talk about it. We'll talk about them plenty if they're
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: not on my list though. Also THELAN my personal as
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: a Vikings fan, i'd love if THELAN was back in Purple.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Although as like a fan of logistics and how it
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: would be works, it'd be all a gimmick because if
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: it wasn't THELAN, if the same guy just had a
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: different name and didn't play for the Vikings for ten
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: plus years, we wouldn't be calling for him, you know.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: It's just be like, oh, yeah, that one guy who
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: was good a few years ago, Like we'd rather Hunter
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Renfro than feeling it's just stealing. Has our hearts so alic.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: So these last two teams, I have two more, and
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: actually I want to put these two out there and
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: just see which one. I think I know what you're
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: going to say, Actually I don't know what you're gonna say.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: As far as the team that I thought you were mentioning, no, oh,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: the last two teams on my list of teams that
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: I'm glad we're not fans of. To me, they're kind
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: of a tie in different ways, the Bears and the Jets.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'll never root for the Bears. Okay, that's
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: what I thought you would say. So, And I think
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: the reason you add the Jets as a ties because
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: the Aaron Rodgers of it all. Yeah, I think Aaron
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Rodgers is a tool, but like, who cares. He's richer
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: than I'll ever even dream to be, so he doesn't
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: care what I think. And the Bears, I just I
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: also have never been a believer in Caleb Williams, and
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: maybe Front of the Show for us is making me
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: think that way because he's been saying that for a
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: long time. Yeah, I'm I'm glad we're not fans of
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: the Bears. Well, let's take the Jets for a second.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: Apparently they're embracing the darkness over there in New York,
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: and their quarterback is leading the way in that they
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: now only have not one but two divas on offense
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: with Deavante Adams joining the Knicks, and he didn't do
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: anything this weekend, So that looks like a real real
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: winner for the Jets there. They should be better even
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: before DeVante Adams was traded, but they still only have
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: two wins, and those two wins are against the Titans
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: and the Patriot, two of the worst teams in the league.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: So I'm really glad we're not Jets fans. I'm also
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: glad we're not Bears fans. The Bears have a winning
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: record right now to be fair four and three. They're
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: still above five hundred. They're at the bottom of the
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: NFC North, but the NFC North has proven to be
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: arguably the toughest division in football here. But boy, you
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: look at that one play, that gigantic fail, Mary, I
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: will say, if against the Commanders, if you're looking at
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: it from the Bear's perspective, Yeah, well there's that one
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: defender I don't even remember his name, Tyreek, right, Stevenson
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: be wrong on that? Yeah, Well he probably did enough
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: to get fired because he's over there, you know, taunting
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: the Commander's fans and misses what's happening on the field
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: and then goes over and isn't I don't think really
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: involved in the play. And the ball gets tipped and
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: the Commanders catch it, and they went, did you not?
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: So was he the one that tipped? He was the
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: one that tipped it. It was Tyre Stevenson. He was
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: taunting on the sideline and then when he realized, like
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: I should probably run around, he does kind of run
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: around and then goes and he's the one that one
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: hand tips the ball and you know, tip drill. The
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: commander caught it. He tweeted out something today like a
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: mature like, hey, that was on me. There's something like
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: lack of focus. I apologize to my teammates and the
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: fans and everything. It was a mature thing to tweet out,
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: but still, like, my goodness, that's such a bad look. Yeah,
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: it was definitely embarrassing, and not just that, like the
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: entire game, it didn't really look like the Bears were
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: doing anything. The Bears offense couldn't hold a candle to
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: what the Commanders were doing offensively. I think the Commanders
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: had what like four hundred something yards. Yeah, I didn't
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: watch it. The point total, I didn't really watch it either.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: The point total doesn't really determine what happened in that game.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: It was way closer than it should have been. The
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: commander should have blown him out by twenty points. I
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: think when you go in and look at the stats
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: a little more deeply. But I'm not a huge believer
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: in Caleb Williams. I don't think he's that great. And
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: I think problems with the Bears organization are even more systemic.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: I think you have major problems on the coaching staff.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're really doing any of their players
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: anything by the players they're calling or putting their players
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: in the right position, and I think that even stems
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: back to management. And I just don't think the Bears
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: are in the right spot right now. So all of
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: those teams I'm really glad we're not fans of. And
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: I know it feels like the sky is falling on
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: the Vikings a little bit. The last couple of weeks.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: It's been tough, but this organization is still in a
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: really good place. Good management, great coaching. Yep, we've had
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: a few tough losses. Hopefully they've learned some things about themselves.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: Hopefully the coaching staff has figured out how they can
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: scheme some things around. There's still some really really good
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: players that aren't divas, that aren't full of themselves. Even
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: the best wide receiver in the league is hanging on
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: and he's willing to play a team role. I'm excited
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: about that, unless you believe the whole Jordan Addison Instagram
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: spelled that yeah too, he said, No, this has been
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: something that I've been doing since I was in college,
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: and I believe that the dui over the summer aside,
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: I think Jordan Addison he made an honest mistake of
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: a young kid who just has access to way more
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: money than any of us will ever know. And I
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: think he's got good people around him who are counseling
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: him through that and trying to help him figure that out.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: Should he maybe be a little more careful with what
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: he posts, Yeah, he probably should. Yeah, and he hasn't
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: been playing great. But I don't think that post was
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: this like subtweet that we all thought it was. I
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: think it was just I'm here. I think he was
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: just reminding people like, I'm here and I'm still capable
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: of playing really good football. Yeah, that free three is
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: his his slogan, and so it's like a saying school
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: but and that's a crap on Jordan Edison if he
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: was starting to be a diva, goodbye, who cares? Right route,
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: He's on a really short lea right now. Yeah, you
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: have barely done any great things. He's good and he
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: will be He will be fine. I don't think he's
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not advocating for the Vikings to get rid of him,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: but if he was going to start being at Stefan
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: Diggs like, okay, you're You're easier to get rid of
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: than Lewis seen was a couple of as a first
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: round pick a couple of years ago. So yeah, all
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: is good there. Yeah, I guess that's that's all I
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: can really think of for Thorns. I really think this
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: darrisaw injury, it's gonna that might be the season crutch.
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: That's such a big person to lose, and we've seen
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: what happens on defense when you lose a stalwart on
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: defense and Blake Cashman, so hopefully they figure that out,
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: whether it's in house or they sign guys on on
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: the off the street. Dustin Baker had a video today
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: where he kind of said the available free agents are
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: more enticing than anyone you could trade for, even you know,
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: not with standing what you'd give up. But yeah, thorns,
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: anymore thorns. No, I think we've covered the thorns. And
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: I think one big thorn that we don't have to
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: endure as Vikings fans is that we're not fans those
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: other teams. And I think there's there's still so much
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: upside to this Vikings team, and that's why I wanted
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: to bring this kind of perspective, like it's not what
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: the sky hasn't completely fallen yet and we shouldn't just
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: throw in the towel. Yes, the last the last fourteen
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: days have been tough for the Vikings, but there's still
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: a lot of season left and I'm excited. And there
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: are some thorn, some roses, some good things. Yeah, let's
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: talk about those. What are the good things we can
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: talk about? I mean, in this Rams game, Justin Jefferson
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: looked pretty good early. He had a slump of his own,
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: but that's just goes along with the Vikings offense slumping
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: every game. But he ended with over one hundred yards
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: for the first time in a few weeks. Looked like
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson and that's good. There's some other good things
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: that happen though, Well, you don't get Justin Jefferson two
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: one hundred yards without somebody throwing the ball to him.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: And I think Donald didn't play awesome. He didn't play
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: like he did in the first five weeks of the
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: season or even the first three weeks of the season.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: But I still thought he played okay. He played well
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: enough to continue to earn the role of starting quarterback
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: for this team. And I think he did enough to
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: kind of silence the doubters of like we should bench him,
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: just roll with Mullins, we should trade for somebody at
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: the deadline, Like, No, nope, let's just keep it rolling
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: on the Donald train for now, mostly because I just
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: bought a Sam Donald T shirt. Yes, coming later this
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: week and I might have to wear it next week. Yeah,
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: we got some pretty cool design by your wife. Yeah,
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: credit where credit's due. We'll link her her store down
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: below here. We should be hyping up her her store
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: A and Jay Creative, A and J Creative. Yeap, it's
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: a tea public store. And she's got more than just
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: like some goofy quirky stuff that she does for us.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: She's got some really great vikings designs for ladies out there.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: So if there's a lady in your life that needs
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: a good Vikings shirt that has a little more of
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: that feminine flair to it. Go check that out. And
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: she's got some other designs out there too that have
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with the Vikings. But she's had a
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: lot of fun. She's really good at what she does
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: designing stuff. Yeah, I didn't realize she had. I might
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: need to go take a look at the the female
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: featured Vikings designs. We'll definitely we'll link her down below
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: for sure and go check out her stuff. But yeah,
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: so she designed a nice little Sam Darnold shirt that
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: we've got coming. Mine's coming on Wednesday.
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: I will be.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: Wearing it the episode I get it. Which should we
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: just match? Should we just? Yeah? Maybe? Although I did
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: get another shirt in honor of an upcoming game, so
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: maybe we'll see I maybe that was off camera, but
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: you're pointing to the largest comeback in NFL history, little
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: poster that we have there. Yeah, yeah, so yeah, other
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: other roses right now, maybe not even specifically this game,
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: but for the Vikings overall, Hockinson's back, I mean he's activated,
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: not on the injury report. I don't think I might
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: be wrong about that. Actually well, and allegedly he's running
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: faster than he's ever run. I didn't see that according
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: to GPS that was out on Twitter or something like.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: According to GPS stats, he's been running faster in practice
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: than he's ever run in his life, all right, which,
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh, if you can imagine if they because
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: the Lions said, hey, all we had to do was
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: shut down Jefferson and Addison and then we'd win the game,
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: and the Lions, for the most part, did just that
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: and won the game. Can you imagine if you shut
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: down Jefferson and Addison and then you have Hockinson there.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: Not to belittle the other tight ends on the roster,
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: but nobody's up up to Hockinson level. He's gonna be
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: so vicious And probably you probably didn't check your Facebook
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: messages before you came to my house tonight. I saw
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: that one came through tight end related, but I didn't
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: watch it. You'll have to go back and watch that,
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: and maybe I'll put that down in the description as well.
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: But okay, if we can do, if the Vikings can
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: do what was done in that video with the tight end,
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: I think the caption on the video is like let's
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: play hide the tight end. If they can do that
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: with TJ. Howkinson when he comes back, look out NFL,
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: because you got the league's best wide receiver, You've got
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: another really good wide receiver, and a few others. You've
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: got a really good running back who proved that he
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: was still healthy, ready to go. You get t J.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: Hawkinson back in the mix. I think this offense opens
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: up a ton and I think Sam Darnold doesn't struggle
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: as much. Yeah, at least Hockinson will become a quick
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: dump off route and a better option than what the
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: Vikings have had in that area. Anyways, along with Hockinson
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: coming back, Dalton Reisner apparently has been healthy for a
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: long time and ready to go, and he should be
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: back soon too. Now with Darisa out, it kind of
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: seems one of the more logical moves is to move
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: Brandell over there, right, Am I saying that right? Brandell
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: would move over there to the left tackles, to the
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: left tackle spot, and then Reisner would be your left guard,
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: and then the center and the right side of the
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: line would remain the same. Yeah. Yeah, So that's interesting
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: you bring that up, because just today Monday, the twenty eighth.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: Dustin Baker on vikes Now on YouTube, go check that out.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: He had a video that was pretty much like, okay,
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: now what after the Darrisaw injury and you listed out
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: I think like five scenarios that could happen. Vikings could
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: go down, and it's a variety of like, Okay, they
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: could trade for this guy, or they could sign one
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: of these guys off the street, or what will probably happen?
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: And I'm gonna spoil Dustin's video, but he says the
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: most likely scenario is something like either they roll with
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: question Berry and keep everybody else the same, or they
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: do kick Brendel to the left tackle spot, put Reiser
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: of supposedly healthy Riisner back in his right left guard spot,
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: and then the line keeps rolling even with ed Ingram.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that's probably what will happen when I think
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: that was the one of the silver linings to the
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: Vikings offensive line to start the season was its depth.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: Like you had Brandell, you had Question Berry ready to go,
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: two guys they re signed pretty quickly after the season
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: ended last year. Yeah, and then didn't they pick up
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: Walter Rowse in the draft as well, So like you
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: had a handful of guys that could have rotated it
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: in at the very least, or taken over completely if
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: somebody got injured. And now the worst possible scenario, the
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: best player on that line has gone down, and now
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: you have to kind of plan for that, you know,
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: doomsday scenario, and I'm interested to see what the move is.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: It'll be really interesting over the course of this next week.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: You know, by the time we record next week after
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: the Colts game, you know, we could be completely off
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: base and the vikings quasiato famensa may have gone way
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: crazier than we ever expected. But who knows. Yeah, all right,
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: last rows for me is will record. He's still perfect, man.
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: I think it's two extra points and two field goals
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: against the Rams. I don't think he had any any
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: long kicks in that game specifically, but in the Lions,
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: I think he had a fifty seven ish yard kick
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: heat and a potential. It didn't happen, so it doesn't matter,
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: but a potential like sixty eight yard attempt, Like Will Riker,
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: he's still perfect. And spoiler alert for the next few things,
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: Will say until he misses, he's going to keep getting
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: my special teams game ball. Yeah. Well, and spoiler alert
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: to who gets my special teams game ball, Ryan Right
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: is still punting really well. Yeah, it's not nearly as
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: good as your kicker playing well because your punter doesn't
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: score points typically unless you're like fake punting a lot.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: But anyways, I think he'll alter the game. It's position. Yeah,
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: for sure. I think he's he's proven that he's back
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: and he's still deserving of the job that was given
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: to him in training came. So yeah, let's let's move
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: to game balls really quick, and let's wrap up this
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: Rams loss. We've talked ad nauseum about that. We'll move
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: on to the next week here in a second. But
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: offense game ball offensive game ball. So first off, we
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: both spoiled our special teams game ball will record for me,
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: Ryan Wright, for you, and Right, I think we both
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: agree both of them kind of deserve again. And I mean,
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: if you wouldn't have stolen, will write out of giving
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: it to him. But well, when you write the outline,
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: you kind of get a little bit more authority. Offense
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: offense for me, justin jefferson first game that he broke
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: one hundred yards in a little while, he's the ultimate captain.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: He's Yeah, you see him at the end of the
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: game kind of throw his helmet down. But he's not
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: sitting complaining. He's not doing the Stefan Diggs hoodie over
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: his head, like, man, this sucks. I hate this team
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: because we've lost two games. No, he's the motivator. He's
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: performing on offense, affecting every play even if he doesn't
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: get the target because you know they're going to the
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: defenses figuring him out or putting a lot of resources
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: towards him, and specifically in that Rams game, he's my
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: offensive game ball. Yeah, I think he's just frustrated that
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: he couldn't do more to elevate this team to victory.
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think back to Gosh, I don't even
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: remember who they played at the end of last season,
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: but Nick Mallins started a quarterback and Justin Jefferson. I
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: think it might have been the Lions. Actually, Justin Jefferson
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: just like carried the team on his back. Oh yeah,
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: and there's that like famous shot of him just like
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: sitting on the field after it's all said and done.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: It was a close game, but they lost, And I
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: don't think he's mad because he didn't get the touches.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's mad because he didn't, you know,
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: get whatever, you know, attention he thought he deserved. I
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: think he's just legitimately mad that they lost because he's
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: a team player, because he cares more about winning. And
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: I think he's proven that in the first six weeks
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: of this season, seven weeks of the season, because he
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: hasn't had a hundred yard game yet this season, and
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: he had a handful of touchdowns, but he's still just
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: he's not, you know, carrying this team like he has
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: in the past and statistically, yeah, and we've talked about that,
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: like it's actually a good thing from a team perspective
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: that he's not, because it means that we're We've got
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: five wins on the backs of other players, not just
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: your best. And it also I think minimizes his risk
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: for injury too, which is a really good thing because
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: down the stretch, you want a guy like that, You
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: need a guy to you know, make those crazy what
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: was it fourth and sixteen against the Bills time in
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: the ladder, going vertical, you know, bringing stuff down like that,
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: Like you need him in those clutch moments for sure.
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: So I agree with you for sure. On Justin Jefferson.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: You're looking up some stats. Wheah. I was just trying
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: to see how many like one hundred yard receiving games
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: he's had this season specifically. I think it's only this one,
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: is it? Really? I think? Okay, you go to his
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: game log, probably on Purpleball. Oh, there we go. Okay,
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: we can look that up. This is worth it. Let's
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: look too. He's got two hundred yard games, one ninety
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: two yard game, and everything else is pretty decent. Eighties,
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: there's one in the fifties. But still he's I mean, statistically,
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: he's holding his own. He's scored in every game but two.
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: His best game was the Niners game, and that was
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: arguably the best game the Vikings have played all year. Yeah, yeah,
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: that or the Texans game. So ye. So he's he's
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: there and he'll always get his numbers. But yeah, he's
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: he's my offensive game ball. What about you, who's your
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: offensive game I'm giving in, I'm giving an offensive game
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: ball to the entire offense. They didn't turn the ball over,
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: no fumbles, no interceptions, and they they did they win.
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: They won the turnover battle. They won the turn two
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: weeks in a row have totally killed that super fun
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: stat where Koc two weeks ago right now was undefeated
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: if his team wins or ties the turnover battle. And
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: now one week against the Lions, they tied the turnover
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: battle and lost. And then the next game, not even
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: the next week, the next game against the Rams, they
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: won the turnover battle and lost. And not only that,
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: but there was that other stat out there of when
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: the Vikings score first, they almost always win the game.
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: And for two weeks in a row against the Lions,
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: they were up ten to nothing against the Lions. Yeah
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: you got to catch up, yeah, a little bit. They
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: were up ten to nothing against the Lions and then
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: they went up seven to zero. They scored a really
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: easy touchdown to start the game eight plays, seven yard
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: drive with a five yard touchdown pass to Josh Oliver
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: in the first quarter, and it looked great, and we
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: were all just kind of thinking, like, all right, we're cooking.
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: Got a good drive. It was great, let's do it.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: First two drives they scored a touchdown because the next
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: one was to Surefield, yep so, and those were the
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: only two touchdowns scored in the game. And anyways, so
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: I'm giving a game ball to the offense, not because
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: they you know, were amazing, but they didn't turn the
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: ball over. And if you took Justin Jefferson, that's the
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: next one slashical thing. All right, Well, my defensive game ball.
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: The only guy that got a turnover he picked the
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: ball off Byron Murphy Junior. Outside of that, the defense
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: wasn't rock stars the whole game. So I just went
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: with the cherry pick the only good stat Yeah, you're
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: really good at that cherry picking things. I'll go with
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: Ivan Paced Junior. He led the team in tackles. Even
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: though he's struggling in that kind of blake Cashman void.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: I still like that guy a lot. I still think
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: he's a really good football player. I think he's he's maturing.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: I think as a rookie. As a rookie last year,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: he splashed a lot and we were, you know, we
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: were raving about IPJ last year. We were super excited
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: about him. Things have cooled off a little bit this year,
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: and I think he's playing with a little bit of
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: a chip on his shoulder, like I got something to prove.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: I'm no longer a first stringer. I'm coming off the
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: bench and doing what I can and now filling the
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: void for Blake Cashman while Cashman's you know, recovering from
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: turf toe. But I don't know, you lead the team
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: in tackles. You're still a really good player. I like
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: ivan paced too. Yeah, hard to argue. And yeah, we
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: already went through the special teams games, game balls. So
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: I suppose now we can say goodbye to the lowest
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: point in the Viking season, goodbye, and we're looking ahead
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: to the Colts. And if the Colts make one move,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: this will be a very frustrating game for the Vikings.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: But if they stay with the status quo, the Vikings
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: should roll. And I think I indicated this in my
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: too early prediction, but maybe I'm wrong. Is that move
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: at the position of quarterback? Yeah, the Colts Anthony Richardson.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, this guy has all the physical talent
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: in the world. But he's been injured. He missed all
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: about five games I think, last year, and he's kind
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: of been in and out a little bit this year.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: But he's not he's not painting out. Was he the
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: fourth overall pick last year? He's really high. Yeah, I
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: know that like it. He's he's not painting out and
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: it's a tough spot because the Colts keep rolling with him.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: But I think that might be one of those like
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: we can't bench this guy so soon. The Panthers had
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: enough guts to do it with Bryce Young, But I
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: don't know that. It kind of seems like one of
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: those maybe ownership is like, hey, we put a lot
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: of stock into this one guy, high first round pick,
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: he's got to be the guy. Otherwise we got to
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: start over. He was fourth overall a year ago, you
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: are correct. Interestingly enough, he took a play off yeah
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: this week and he came off the field and said,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: I'm tired. I need a break. Yeah, And like, you
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: just you can't do that when you're the starting quarterback
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. That's just not how it works, especially
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: a quarterback who's known for his athleticism. And listen, I
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: am the last human in the world to be criticis
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: sizing somebody for their athletic abilities. I would need a
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: three day break to recover from one hundred yard dash.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: I get that, But he is an athletic, first round,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: high profile quarterback, and I mean I feel like I
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: think of Matt Stafford. Have we all seen that crazy.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: It's a handful of years old now, but that video
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: that's like three minutes long and it's uncut, and it's
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: just him like throwing a pass and then getting hit
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: and his like shoulders like falling out of itself and
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: he goes to the sideline. I think he was like
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: miked up that game too, and he's like, oh, I
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: think he got smacked in the ribs and he had
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: bruised ribs. I think his shoulder was bothering him and
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: he's like screaming in pain, and some either the Lions
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: called the timeout or the other team did something happen,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: and he's like, I can go back in. Am I
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: allowed to go back in? I can throw? I can throw?
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: And he runs back out. We need to find that
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: video and link it because I'm not a Lions man obviously,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: but still that two three minute video is like, holy crap.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: Maybe we should just find it and we'll just picture
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: it and picture it right here. Because as much as
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: we don't like the Lions, man that was that was
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: a gutsy performance. And we don't like the Rams either,
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: because you know he plays for the Rams now. But
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: all that to stay Matt Stafford, Stay all that to say,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: Matt Stafford was like in agony and doesn't even miss
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: a play, and I think comes out and throws like
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: a two yard touchdown. Yeah, and then I think it
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: won the game. I think that was the end of
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: that game. It's it's a beautiful two minute video, three
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: minute video. But I think of that, and then I
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: think of this young twenty something year old quarterback who's
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: known for his athleticism to be like I was tired,
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: so I had to take a playoff, Like what can
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: you imagine being his teammate. I'm tired too, man, It's
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: not it's not I'm tired because the kid played how
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: many college football games and probably didn't make them a
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: like that. It was probably like I'm not playing up
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: to my standard. Things aren't going my way, so I'm
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: just gonna quit for a minute, and then I'll come
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: back when I feel ready. You know, I did see
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: a tweet somebody posted out that it's like, that's really weird.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: So it's either he's like telling the truth and he
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: was really tired and that's super embarrassing, or he lied
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: and would rather lie and say I'm tired because the
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: real reason was even more embarrassing, And I don't know
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: what could be more embarrassing, but that's just crazy. That's
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: where you lose a locker room. Like if you I
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: think of like bosses I've had in the past and stuff,
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: and if they pull stuff like that. Now, granted, my
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: boss isn't gonna take a seat because they're tired and
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: it's gonna make me, you know, upset, but something like that,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: you lose faith in your leadership and that's that's not
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: what you want to do on a tough season so far. Yeah,
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: agreed Keys to victory for the Vikings in this one
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: against the Colts. This game got flexed into Sunday Night Football.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: And I heard somebody say today that Sunday Night Football
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: is arguably the best slot in football in terms of
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: entertainment value, in terms of like market share, exposure, all
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: that stuff. So it's kind of a big deal that
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: this game was flexed out of the noon slot on
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: Sunday and into this Sunday night football slote Keys to
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: victory under the primetime lights.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: Well, and it was flexed before this two game loss
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: and injury to your Pro Bowl left tackle. But don't
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: they have to do that too? There's at enough enough
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: of a notice to prepare. And even like fans if
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: you're flying somewhere to go to a game, like you
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: gotta know. But this key to victory. I'm gonna keep
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: saying it, kind of like I keep giving Will Rekord
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: the special team's game ball until he misses a kick.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: I'm going to keep saying this until it stops. The
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: Vikings need to stop slumping in the middle of the game. Yes,
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: it's make the whole game scripted if you have to,
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: because whenever they get past that fifteen plays script or
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: whatever they do maybe it were way off on that,
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: but whenever it feels like they get past that script,
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: they just disappear for a while and then usually kind
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: of figure something out. But stop that, keep the foot
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: on the gas pedal, and beat the crap out of teams,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: like I said, a handful episodes, punch them in the face,
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: like just win. Stop stopping. Well, well, and if there's
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: a script of fifteen plays, can you come up with
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: a script of thirty plays or fifty plays or sixty
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: plays that are just locked and loaded, ready to go.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: And does that mean that your practices have to be
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: three hours long or four hours long instead of whatever.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: Like your professional athletes, you're being paid millions of dollars
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: to go out and do this figure it out. And
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: I think that whole idea is that's all on koc
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: and really, I mean Wes Phillips and you know, all
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: the other guys, but the backstop to it all, and
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: he's a play caller, and I mean it's just got
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: to be about trust and knowing. Hey, if you say
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: that this play is gonna work, then it's gonna work
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: because you are the play designer. I don't know. We
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: obviously have no inside information and we're just a couple
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: of dudes drinking beer talking about football. But they gotta
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: do better. They got to stop the slump. Yeah, agreed.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: I think another key to victory is getting back to
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: their identity on defense. And hopefully Cashman's back. I know
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: it's not looking great right now, but even if he's
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: not back, they got to figure out something. They've got
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: to find someone else to to be that quarterback on
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: defense and to get after things. And I don't think
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: it matters who's under center for the Colts. I think
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: you have to put pressure on the quarterback and you
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: have to You got to be able to stop the run.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: Specific I think you've got to plug the holes in
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: the middle and not allow those backs to to get out.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: Another thing I've seen a lot of and I didn't
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: see a lot of this in the first five games,
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: and I'm not an expert by any means, but I
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: saw a lot more zone in the last two weeks,
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of just sit back, wait, see what happens,
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: and then respond rather than the super aggressive Let's put
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: nine guys on the line and let's just make everybody's
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: life miserable. Let's get to the quarterback faster than he
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: can get rid of the ball, or let's you know,
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: sniff out these these screen passes and Andrew Vingen gold
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: get two pick six's, which is amazing. Like instead of that,
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: we've seen this like all right, we're just gonna we're
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: gonna drop back, we're gonna sit back, we're gonna play
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: these zones, and we're just gonna let the let the
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: offense come to us. And I think against the Lions
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: and the Rams, that burned them a lot because both
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: Jared Goff and Matthew Stafford read that zone and they
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: just go, all right, you're gonna play that you're gonna
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: be a little more comfortable on defense and not as aggressive. Well,
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: I've got this guy coming across the middle and I'm
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: just gonna dump it off to him, or I've got
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: this guy out in the flat over here, guaranteed first
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: down right here. I don't need the big seventy yard
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: or down the field. I'm just gonna keep getting the
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: first down after first down after first down. I'm gonna
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: march down and I'm gonna score, you know, three or
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: four touchdowns on you and put this game away. And
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: that's what both of those quarterbacks did. And so I
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: think they've got to get back to this identity of
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: this like Kamikazi kind of defense, Like we're gonna just
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: blow the hat off of you if we need to.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: We're gonna put eleven guys on the line if we
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: need to, and you know, we're just gonna make your
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: life miserable from the get go. Yeah, and even going all,
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: I totally agree with you because as you were saying that,
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: I was forming a thought and then you said the
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: thought about Jared Goff and Matt Stafford both being like
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: zone beaters, and you can go back to the game
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: against the Jets. The Jets receivers dropped a few passes,
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: and there were a couple of Rogers passes that were
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: just outside of reach. But I think if the Jets,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: if Rogers and his receivers had been more on the
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: same page, that would have been a tough, tougher game
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: than it already was. For the Vikings too, because Rogers
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: is another zone beater as well. That's why the Packers
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: beat the Vikings and everybody else for so many years
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: when Rogers was there. Yeah, I think the zone you've
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: hit the nail on the head. The zone defense is
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: a weakness for this Vikings team, mostly when they've shown
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: that they can't get home to the quarterback. That's the
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: big difference. And they didn't get home against either of
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: those two quarterbacks, the Lions or the Rams. And it's
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: just it's been a frustrating two weeks of football for
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: the Vikings defense. They have to get that figured out.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: And I think these quarterback concerns with the Colts should
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: be like, all right, let's go. They should be looking
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: their chops a little bit. And I don't know much
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: about the Colts offensive line. I'm assuming they're not great.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: I mean they got Quentin Nelson and he's maybe the
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: best interior offensive lineman in the NFL. But outside of that,
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't really know either. I do know,
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: if I had to guess which quarterback on the Colts
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: is more of a zone beater, whether it's Joe Flacco
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: or Anthony Richardson, I guess it's got to be Joe Flacco.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: That's why I really hoping the Colts stubbornly stick with
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, because I think if they announced, like, yeah,
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: Joe Flacco is gonna play, or if they ben Rizardson early,
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be a tough another tough game for the Vikings.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: I will say the Colts was an honorable mention to
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: my list of teams that I'm glad I'm not a
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: fan of, And that was the one I thought you
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: were gonna say when you, I know, said the Panthers. Yeah,
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: I know, because I said old man quarterback, And I
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: think that's kind of what tipped you off to. Oh,
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: it might be the Colts, but I honestly, I think
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: to some extent that's kind of an advantage to them
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: at this point as a team, maybe not as a
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: fan base. Because as a fan, I'd be like, who's
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: gonna start, Like, what are we doing? Figure it out?
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: Just name a starter. But I think when you're the
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: coach and you kind of have that control over this
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: other defense all the way through the week and you
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: don't know who you're preparing for until probably like Thursday
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: or Friday, maybe even Sunday, maybe even Sunday, right like,
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: it's like, all right, now we've got to prepare for
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: two guys, and we've got more on our hands, And
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: I think the advantage lies a little bit more in
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: the Colts favor that way. So speaking of being a
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: Colts fan and being in that mindset, we know a
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: Colts fan, and I think there's an opportunity maybe right
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: after the Colts game for us to have a guest
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: on the show if you're interested. Yeah, I think that
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: that's in the works a little bit for sure, for sure,
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: anyway that I know who you're talking about. Yeah, I
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: guess another key to victory is you just got to
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: stop the run. The Vikings have been statistically abysmal against
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: the past, but for the first handful of games that
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: was because teams had to try to ball out and
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: throw a bunch of yards and try to win against
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: the Vikings. But the last couple of games, just just
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: because the other teams have been really good on the
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: pass game and the rush game. But you got to
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: stop Jonathan Taylor. He's the most well known, consistently good
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: player on the Colts offense, and a good running game
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: can really break a game for the other team, and
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: that should be their first their first thing to stop
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: is Jonathan Taylor. Definitely agreed. All right, I'm gonna give
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: you my too early prediction here and we kind of agree,
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: but we also kind of disagree. Yeah, on this, I
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: think the Vikings win, Okay, first of all, and I
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: think that let me go back to this here really quick,
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: just to make sure, Yeah, that is in line with
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: my preseason pick. Okay, I think the Vikings beat the Colts.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: That was my preseason pick. I think they beat the
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: Colts thirty one to seventeen. With the caveat that Anthony
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: Richardson plays most of the time, okay most of the time,
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: and again we know that Anthony Richardson is prone to
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: taking plays off and now and then at least one
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: and we've also seen Joe Flacco start what two games
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: now this season for the Colts, so the quarterback situation
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: is very much in limbo more than it's ever been,
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: maybe after this last week. And their coach today answered
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: a reporter question about that and basically said, we're gonna
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: look at all options. Yeah and not not Yeah. Richardson's
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: our guy. It was we're gonnavate. I think he's playing chess,
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: not checkers. There he's he's we're in the poker game.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: And he's not going to show his hands. He's not
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: going to give any tell you know, He's gonna he's
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: gonna wait until the last possible moment to give any
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: sort of lead to the Vikings defense. And I think
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: that's kind of a rock and a hard place thing
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: because maybe the coach is like, we got to move on.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: But the owner, Jim Irsay, a very vocal and loud owner.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: This is pure speculation, but maybe he's behind the scenes like, no,
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: I paid a lot for this guy. We're gonna we're
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: gonna force it. He's gonna be okay. And maybe the
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: coach doesn't have the power that he should. Again, I'm
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: totally guessing, but I could see that situation happening. I
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: think the Vikings win handily thirty one seventeen. If Anthony
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: Richardson is the starter and plays most of the time,
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: that's my caveat So I didn't write that caveat down,
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: but I pretty much assumed that. So again, if Richardson
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: is the guy most of the game or all the game,
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: I think the Vikings win. I think it's more like
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: twenty four to seventeen, just because we got to expect
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: that mid game offensive slump for the Vikings, but I
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: looked it up earlier. I'm pretty sure the Vikings have
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: scored twenty or more points in every game so far
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: this season, So they're gonna do a little bit better
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: against the Colts than just twenty points, and I think
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: they pull out the win. No, it will not be
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: thirty nine to thirty six. Vikings like that greatest comeback
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: in NFL history, which is going to be the storyline
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: for everybody else, you know, leading up to the game,
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: and it's something at least I bring up to Front
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: of the show Brian quite a bit. But and you
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: are correct. The Vikings have scored twenty or more points
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: in every game. This last game against the Rams was
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: their lowest twenty exactly, so the offense has the juice.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta think twenty is not a small
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: amount of points in the NFL, Like usually you score
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: twenty points here, at least in the game. Yep. And
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: they were in the game, and we've already talked about it.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: They were in the game. We say goodbye to that, Evan.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: I know, I'm just pointing out the fact here. All right, Well,
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: we both have the Vikings winning. Now you predicted a
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: Vikings loss in your preseason picks. So it'll come down
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: to you know what, if I have to spin the wheel. One,
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: it's because the Vikings won, and that's good with me,
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: right yep. Two, I feel like we've gotten rid of
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: most of the worst ones. Yeah, the worst ones are
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: really off the wheel at this point. I mean, I'm
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: looking down here at the Purple pantry. There's still the
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: wax a body part. That'll be funny. I just kind
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: of want to see that happen for either one of
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: us or I hope we both land on that one time.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: I forgot about that. Well, so I was looking at
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: our picks. So you have the Colts losing in your
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: preseason picks. I have them winning, then the following week,
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: you have the Vikings winning against the Jags, I have
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: them losing, and then we don't have a similar pick
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: until the Vikings at Titans in week eleven. Oh man,
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a few more weeks of this
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: back and forth. Only one of us will have to
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: suffer the consequences of the wheel, but we're guaranteed, what
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: three weeks in a row one of us has to Yep,
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: we had the cinnamon challenge with you tonight, and then
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: next week one of us will have to do it.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: In the following week, one of us will have to
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: do it. But I feel like the rest of them. Yeah,
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: I know you're dreading the hollopenos and I get that,
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: but I don't. I'm not super dreading really any of
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: them unless I'm thinking about missing some of them. I
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: feel like we've gotten rid of all the worst ones.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: Some of them will just be a little messy, like
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: getting a pie in the face. Oh yeah, that so
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: I have a beard, and it's not like an award
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: winning beard, but it's enough that a pie in the
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: face would really ruin ruin my episode. You're a Hall
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: of Famer in my book. Well thanks, man, all right, Well,
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: if you want to make any comments on my beard
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: listener or anything else we said in this episode, Evan,
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: how can people reach out to us? Find us anywhere?
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: We're mostly on YouTube in Spotify, if you want to
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: watch our episodes, which we would recommend because not because
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: we think we look good, but the Purple Punishments are
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: meant to be watched for sure. Yeah, it's nothing else.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: Check out that Purple Punishments. Even if you're an audio
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: only listener and you thought it was kind of funny
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: to listen to the Purple Punishments, today it's got to
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: be so much better to see it visually. So we'll
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: have that on TikTok and all everywhere else, but go
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: check at least that segment out of vision. You do
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: a great job of taking a lot of our different segments,
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: including the Purple Punishments and other stuff, and kind of
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: clip those things out from the longer episode. So even
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: if you're not a fan of like listening to the
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: whole hour, hour and a half of whatever we do
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: each week, check out the clip sized version, the bite
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: sized version of what we do. Most of that's on YouTube,
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: But I would say also TikTok, Facebook, Twitter. You can
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: find a lot of that stuff there as well. Send
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: us an email if you want to, you know, start
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: a conversation with us at the school hop at gmail
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: dot com. It's a great place to do that. Have
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: we done anything with untapped lately? We have an untapped
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: account and I think we've officially reviewed the first maybe
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: ten beers or ten episodes worth of beers. I need
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: to ReVibe that a little bit. But we are on untapped,
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: which is, if you don't know, Untapped is kind of
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: a beer log social media site where you can be
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: friends with people, log the different beers you've tried and
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: kind of rank them and kind of see what other
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: beers are ranked as well. So we're there as well. Well.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: This is episode sixty three, and we featured at least
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: sixty three different unique Iowa brewed beers on this show.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: So yeah, definitely worth checking out our show, even if
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: you're not a football fan, or even if you're not
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: a Vikings fan, just for the beer alone. We had
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: a Lions fan comment on one of our recent videos.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: If you're watching, thanks basically said, hey, he's been following
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: us for a little while and he enjoys the beer reviews. Yeah,
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: we're not world renowned beer reviews, but I think for
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: the average guy that likes beer, you're gonna know whether
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: or not it's a good or bad beer specifically Iowa beers,
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: just based off how we react to So all that
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: to say, we are easily found pretty much everywhere. You

• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: got some merch. We kind of alluded to the fact
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: that both of us, So our merch is through another
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: site that we kind of just upload our artwork to,
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: or your wife's artwork too. It's a direct to consumer site,

  Speaker 1: this logo on it, or we've got a few other
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: ones Sammy d logo or the skull logo. They're all
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: good and we both ordered from them, and even the
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: quote unquote cheapest options they have on that website is
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: still pretty good quality. Our shirts we've had for it's
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: got to be about a year now and they're still
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: holding up really good. So yep, Tea Public is where
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: we get all of our stuff from. Not a sponsor yet,
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: but maybe someday. I mean kind if we get the
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: smallest amount of kickback from each order. But it's more about, Hey,
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: if you want to order something with the skull hot,
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: go for it. We're just all about the exposure this point. Yeah,
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: for sure, I think we get like a dollar a
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: shirt or something. Yeah, it's very very minimal, but yeah,
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: if you're if you want a shirt, if you want,
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: I think we've got Oh we got coffee mugs, just
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: used mine today, school stickers, all the stuff. If if
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: you like us and you want to wrap us a
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: little bit, order something, it's it's not that expensive. It's
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: pretty good. So we're out there. Go find us and
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: we appreciate the support, We appreciate the love, and we're
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: going to be right back at it next week. Every
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: week episode sixty five, we may have a little reaction
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: video coming out after the Colts game. Yeah, I'd like
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: to do that. It'll be late because that's Sunday night football,
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: but yeah, we'll figure it up. Your eyes peeled for
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: that until then Edan, what do you think about this
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: wide wisely coffee oatmeal stout from big growth. It's pretty
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: typical of me to be a little bit in front
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: of you in the beer drinking race at this point,
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: just a hair. I'm a little ahead of you. Not
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: that it's a raise, but it's good. It is. That's
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: the point I'm trying to make. I like it a lot.
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: It's not. I'm not trying to put you down, just
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: trying to say I like this beer a lot, so
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: much so that I've had more than you. It supports
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: a good cause. These are trout. They're not salmon. I
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: don't know why salmon popped into my head. It was
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: just a fish. I've never I've never fished for trout,
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: and I would like to. I've held an Iowa fishing
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: license before. I currently don't have one. I'd like to
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: renew it, maybe for the upcoming year. But I would
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: also like to add the trout stamp because in Iowa
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: you have to pay extra to fish for trout. Oh,
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Yeah. So well, because of the
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: cause that the wade wisely supports, you should have more
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: of an opportunity to fish for trout. The beer specifically,
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: it's a coffee oatmeal stout. It tastes exactly like you
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: would think it would just by hearing the type of
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: beer it is, and it's really good. There is I
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: have no notes for this. It's it's so good. You
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: have to like coffee, you have to like the stouts.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: I think the oatmeal mellow. Is it out a little bit? Yeah,
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: it's not like I said at the beginning, it's not
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: like in your face, it's not so coffee heavy that
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: you're like, why don't I just brew myself a cup
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: of coffee and drink it. You're not getting the high
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: acidity to it. But that I think that speaks to
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: the quality ingredients, both the beer and the coffee they use,
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: and the care that they take. We're not breaking news here.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: Big Grove does good. They've I've never had a bed
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: a bad Big Grove beer, and add this one to
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: the list of good ones I've had from them. I
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: like it a lot. I will have it again, I'll
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: seek it out. It's it's good and hopefully it's not
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: a limited run. I agree. I also hope that this
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: podcast thing isn't a limited run, but then we keep
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: doing this for a while because it's been a lot
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: of fun. Yeah, even if you quit, I'll keep I'll
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: keep doing it forever. Chances of that are very well.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: At this point. The quality would be terrible, and maybe
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't even post it out, but I'd still sit
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: and stare at a square and talk about the Vikings
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: every week. This is way more fun because we've got
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: this awesome set now. We keep drinking great beer week
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: after week, and I don't know, I just feel like
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: we just keep putting out good stuff. Yeah, so well
