• 0:54
  Speaker 1: What a difference a week could make the somber energy
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: that was on this program. We put on good faces
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: with the negativity that existed on this program when we
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: recorded it interpersonally last week, compared to how we're feeling
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: after the Thundersmack we put on the Bengals.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: It is good joining me.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: As always, the great Chad Daniels. Hey, are teams going
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: to Europe?
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Baby? They're in Dublin.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: I can't wait.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: They are in Dublin.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Our producer Jay sent me a message of one of
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: his Buddies who's landed there for the game already. He's
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: taken the vacation into the game. And there is a
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: giant sign up on a building there that shows a
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: picture of a cartoon Vikings football player and it says,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the last time the Vikings landed in Dublin, they literally
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: conquered the place.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: No pressure, lads.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Oh, I like that.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: It's great.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: It's also like a tip of the cat, like, hey,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: remember when this happened. Let's let's let's keep history alive.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I just feel good.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I feel that that win last week gives us something
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: to really build upon, at least in this show, because
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: you and I I think as a duo we can't
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: handle consecutive weeks of large negativity.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: That will never be good for us.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: No, it won't. And I'm going to tell you something.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: I was at the game, and I know that we
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: are not a review show, but I need to tell
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: you something. I need to tell you something. Isaiah Rogers
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: obviously huge game, first player in NFL history to return
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: two touchdowns and have two force fumbles. First ever. You
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: know what my favorite thing about athletes is, it's when
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: they use their popularity and to like to they spread
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: it out to the fans. Before the game, Isaiah Rodgers
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: is down in the end zone play and catch with
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: people in the stands with little kids, and they're throwing
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: it back to him, and I was like, you know what,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: that is awesome. That's what it is about for me.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: And and then this dude has a day.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: It was so fun, such a great like little bow
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: on the package. Fantastic.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I I just and and now if it could give
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: us something to build on as we have to play
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: a team. We have to play a team that people
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: refer to themselves as the fans refer to themselves as
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: something called a yinser, which sounds sounds like a well,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: let's not get into it. It sounds like it sounds
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: like some sort of terrible drink at an awful party.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Well, I think the beer is yingling from from Pennsylvania.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: That's where it comes from.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: You must have something to do with that same same
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: pre do you think I think Pittsburgh.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna hammer on Pittsburgh here, because I do
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: think Pittsburgh has become like a secretly cool There's a
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: few cities that, yeah, have become secretly cool art towns.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: You know, it used to be Ashville and Austin and
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: places like that, and then they got overrun and all
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the artists who couldn't live in those places anymore went
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: to like Detroit and Pittsburg. So Pittsburgh's a cool city.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I will say this is not an exaggeration. It rains
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: there more than Seattle, which is wild. And they are
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: a We have a lot of friends who are Steeler fans,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: just randomly, and they are They can be a tough
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: people to love. They've had a lot of success as fans,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and they can they carry with them. One of our
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: closest friends, Justin, who is trying everything in his power
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: to get rid of Mike Tomlin despite not understanding like
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: there's a bit of spoiled today. I would say the
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Steelers fans. Although I like the Steelers, I like their team,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: their fans talk to you a little bit the way
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Green Bay Packer fans talk to you.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: That's what it feels like.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because the Steelers third team to win five Super Bowls,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: and so they know it. They have this pedigree and
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: they will they will talk to They will remind you,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: no matter how long ago it was, they will remind
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: you that they have some Super Bowl wins, and it
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: is annoying and people are like, well, we don't like Tomlin,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: we want him out of there.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know it people that were I understand it's
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: working out with Jordan Love, but it's like the people
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: who were pushing Aaron Rodgers out the door, like, get
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: him out of here, let's get the next guy in here.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: It's like, you haven't sat through what anyone else's like.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I think the Steelers have had. I could be incorrect
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: about this. Jay could could tell me if I'm wrong here,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: but I believe they've only had three head coaches. I
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: think it was Chuck Nole, great name, Bill Cower, all
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: time chin, like.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: If we're talking like football chins.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: When you put that guy, he's the only one on
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Mount Rushmore, an excellent looking, excellent looking football coach.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: And knocked unconscious. He's never been knocking.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: No chance that you you punch him in the chin
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and your hand falls unconscious, it just flops back the
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: other one, Yes, exactly. Uh. And then it's it's mikey
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: T Mike Tomlin, which you and I are enormous fans
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: of Mike Tomlin.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's a fantastic head coach, knows what
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: he's doing, brings in the right players, I mean kind of.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: And uh, you know, Dk Metcalf, what a brilliant move
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: where you go, Hey, you thought it rained a lot
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: in Seattle. Come here for a sec. I'm gonna show
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: you something.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: You're gonna love it In Pittsburgh. There's no chance it
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: could rain more here. Uh. And I I gotta tell you,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I've always despite having all those Steeler fan friends, I've
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: always had an admiration because I as a kid, and
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: you had to too, being you know, a little a
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: little ball of I might say energy dough.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Sure like, because we like Kirby.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I like athletes that don't look exactly right where you're like,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: how did Kirby Pucket? You know, Kirby Pucket was just
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: this short, stout, little machine full of legs that didn't
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: look like he should be the best of the best.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: And Jerome bettis, dude, just this just this rumbling, stumbling, bohemoth, bohemoth, yikes,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: behemoth of a man.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Uh. Jerome bettis actually I mean I remember growing up
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: and all the kids that were big that wanted to
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: be in sports. He gave them that chance.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Because he was an alignment, right, exactly, a huge dude
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: who is just trucking people as one of the best
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: running backs of all time.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: One of one of my friends, who is a giant
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Steelers fan, was the producer of the TV show that
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I created in la that failed, but we still got
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: to make it. And he produced a lot of TV shows.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: And he had still it feels like bragging. This still
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: feels like bragging.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: He had a lot.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: You were I asked you to be on the show
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: and you chose to go on a Mexican vacation. It's
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: not my fault.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Got to take care of yourself before you take care
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: of others.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: So I he develops a lot of shows, and as
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: a Steeler fan, he got to develop a pilot with
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Jerome Bettis and he said, first of all, he said,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Jerome Bettis was like the coolest guy, but what the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: show was, it was Jerome Bettis would pick up teams
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: of fans, like a team of two, and they'd like
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the great Race and they'd all get on a bus
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: that Jerome Bettis was driving and then they'd drive around
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: the city they were in doing different competitions and at
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: every stop, one the team that came in last place
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: on that challenge is kicked off the bus like Survivor
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: until the very last challenge leads them to the stadium
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: where the winning team gets to sit like front row center,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: you know, fifty yard line.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Excellent, excellent show. Yeah.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Do you ever hear about a show and you go,
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: how come that one didn't get on? And then and
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: then now I'm watching this show?
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Yes, how Yeah, I don't understand how with all the
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: things that I watch when I watch TV, that you
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: wouldn't put Jerome Bettis's bust Challenge on TV.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: That's crazy.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, put the contestants in swimsuits. That gets sold in
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: one second.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: One of my other favorite things about the Steelers is
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I like, I like, you know, we're so used to
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the modern NFL where everything is it's it's year round,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: it's every minute, the media business, the actual football, it's
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: it's this huge monster. But I you know, the Steelers
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: are one of the iconic franchises of the past, and
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: there was a time I think when the Vikings joined,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I think they were the fourteenth team to join the NFL.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I could be wrong about that, but so there was
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: a time when there were less teams and you know,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: and even you go back before for that, before even
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl era. So the Steelers have been around forever.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: But much like much like many things, during the era
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: of World War Two, football changed and they had to
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of the guys were like war age because
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: they were football players.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, And so they had to figure out a
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: way to keep the leagues going.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: And one of the things they did was they combined teams,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: and in forty three they combined the Eagles and the
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Steelers into a team that they called the Steegles.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Which hates that so much?
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: You do you hate it? I think it's my favorite
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: all time NFL trivia fact, the Stiegles. They're in in
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six, This is this is one of the
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: you ever remember those TV shows America's Dumbest Criminals.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: I sure do, great show. I think they should have
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: done it.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: I think they did later years as a panel where
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: they had comedians on talking about it.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So this is this is an all time one
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: of those moments.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: So in nineteen ninety six, the Steelers were having a
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: halftime field goal kicking contest, which I don't feel like
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: that happens anymore. Is is that a thing of yesteryear.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, it happens on college game day. I don't
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: know if it happens in pro football game.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Definitely still happens in NBA games. They bring up there's
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: so many breaks, but yeah, I don't think they're just
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: putting random humans on those I mean, there's so much
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: effort that's put into those fields and then you just
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: let you know, somebody's brother in law onto the fields.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: I couldn't did it to be fair. Yesterday at the
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Vikings game, they had a Corgi race and I was like,
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: who's going to get tackled in poop? I don't know.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: So they're doing a they're doing a halftime field goal
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: kicking contest and this guy named Alan Adams, he gets selected.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: He comes down to kick. But here is the thing.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Alan Adams had a warrant out for his arrest for
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: skipping bail. Oh what a ding dong dude, And it
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: was it was from four years before that, it was nine.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: He had a four year old warrant.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: And so he's selected, he goes down and he's gonna
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: kick at halftime in this years game. And here's a
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: credit to him. He didn't even think about it. He's like, dude,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: what am I gonna not kick at halftime? What are
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: you crazy? A police officer working security at the game
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: recognizes his name when it was announced, and he cross
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: references the name confirms it's the guy. They arrest him
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: as he's leaving the field. And this is my favorite
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: thing I read. There was just a sentence in the
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: summary of it I read that just said he reportedly
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: did not make any of his kicks.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's some good smack talk. I mean, how do
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: you not grow a beard in four years when you're wanted?
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Come on, right, dude, Oh you're not going by by
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Ryan Adams or something else, like you're you're you're on
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: the run and you made no effort. You're going to
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: NFL games kicking at halftime with the same face, same hair,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: same name.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Come on, man.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: He did try to claim as he was being hauled
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: away that that he was It was the same name,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: but different. Person's like, oh, I'm not that Alan Adams.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I'm a definite, I'm definitely a different Alan Adams.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: I so let's let's let's shift. Let's talk about the game.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I think the NFL is a week to week league.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: And you know, the previous performance against Cincinnati breathes a
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: different sort of life into the team. That puts, I
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: don't want to say pressure on this game, but puts
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: a lot of excitement and potential into this game.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Right, I agree with that. Yeah, I think the defense
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: is going to have to keep it. And that's one
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: of my that's my prediction this week. It has to
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: do with the defense because I think that they they
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: put on an absolute show. Yeah, and that and that
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: gives Carson Wentz and the rest of the offense a
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: chance to take a deep breath when there's a three
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: and out or whatever, they can go, hey, they have us,
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: we'll go back out and we'll do something next time
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: instead of everything being so high pressure. Plus you throw
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Addison back into this mix. I think it's going to
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: get wild.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Dude, And I think that's I wonder what percentage of effect? Right,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: because the Christian dearI saw thing you were at the
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: game that was it breaks the percentage meter exactly the
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: percentage of effect that dude had over what was going on.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: And in no coincidence, Jordan Mason just runs right behind
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: him for it literally an entire game. It was comical
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: So my question is what is that percentage of effect
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: with Jordan Addison coming back? Because I think in the
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: NFL that it's all a percentage game, right. I talked
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: about the salary cap a lot, where it's a math
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: equation how much can you get out of what you're
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: allowed to pay? So if that's why having a rookie quarterback,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: you know, a talented rookie quarterback who can overperform his deal.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: But now you know, with Hawkinson coming alive and feeling
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: being here, if Addison comes back and takes a like
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: not only comes back, but takes a step forward, which
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: is really fair to expect in a year three for
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: a dude like that, I don't know that the level
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: of percentage gain that could cause and the trickle down
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: effect it could have on everything we.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Do across the board is wild.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I think it completely not to be dramatic, but it
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: completely changes the way you have to prepare for the
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: offense because Jalen Naylor can get like, he can get deep,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: he can get behind people, and then you're gonna have
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Addison a guy who can do that but can also
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: run routes like It's crazy.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I could.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: I think what it's gonna bring is it's gonna bring
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: more time for whoever is at the quarterback position because
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: they're they're gonna line up seven, but they're gonna have
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: to drop guys back because there is no way they
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: can go single There's there's three people that they're not
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: going to be able to go single coverage, and if
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: they do, they're gonna get worn down throughout the game
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: and they're gonna get burned.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Big Wentz opportunity here in the land of Red Hair.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Like, dude, welcome home, dude, Hey Carlon, welcome, Welcome home brother.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Home game, brother.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Go out there and be the king of the Red Hair. Yeah, dude,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: here's the thing, all time nickname in the history of sports,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: the red Rifle, Andy Dalton take it. Take it, yeah,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: take it from him. Become the new red Rifle and
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: do it in Ireland.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: And also introduce yourself as Catterson Wentz. You have to
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: You're home immediately.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: You absolutely have to.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: I on the other side of the ball.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: You know, we saw him with the Jets.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: It's very weird to see Aaron Rodgers in different uniforms and.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: I just.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: You got to think this is basically the last time
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: you see him, and for a dude who tormented the
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: team for as many years as he did, to get
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: him the way we got him against the Jets, if
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: you could get him again against the Steelers, and at
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: least I don't want that moment where he gets us
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: one more time. I want him to have had his
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: run in Green Bay. And towards the end we were
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: really coming around and making it difficult because I think
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: his last year there we put it on him too,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: so to Pete to let that the Barn Rodgers thing
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: peter out, because the Rogers thing doesn't feel like the
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Farb thing to meet. Right, you watch Farb play, he
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: was like fun to watch and so you were jealous.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: The Rogers thing was more like, I don't want this
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: guy to succeed. So I really don't want him to
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: bite us in the ass and have a you know,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: because he's playing well. I really don't want that throwback
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: vintage Rogers game in double Yeah.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: The Vikings should have huge confidence going into this, just
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: what they've done the last few times they've faced him.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: And you know you said that he tormented a team.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: I mean he tormented the fans as well. I spent
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: a lot of time calling the front office at Lambeau
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: asking if I could fight him for charity. And I
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: know he would knock my head off my shoulders because
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: that's the hip speed you need to throw a football
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: seventy yards. But I was willing to do it for
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: the kids and maybe one crack at getting him. So
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: I am excited for the Vikes to go in with confidence.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: I think that they've seen it, they know it, and
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: I really, really I'm confident, and by the way, I'm
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: confident they're going to shut them down now.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: I so first team. I believe we're the first team
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: to play Jake and text me if I'm wrong. I
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: believe we're the first team to do the back to
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: back week thing. I think that's very interesting. Have you
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: you were gonna go on a European vacation that then
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: got canceled, right, and so did that cross over with this?
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Have you ever considered I don't think. I don't think
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I do well on the NFL. I have a lot
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: of friends who are going. I think I'm too insane
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: of a fan to put me in a foreign country
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: rooting for me, because I when I go to the
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: stadium and I have to take the twenty thirty minute
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: drive home. If the game didn't go the way I want,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: that sucks for everybody. You're gonna put me in Europe,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: that's a big risk. I think I'm too cocky. If
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: we win in Europe, nobody's gonna love that. I think
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: I'm at the pub running mouth. And if it doesn't go, well, dude,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: that's a tough plane ride for everybody around me. I'm
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: not I don't think I'm the quality of fan. I'm
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: so pumped for everybody that's going, but I don't think
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I'm the quality of fan that they want with them.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: There's for two weeks no question that you're not the
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: quality of fan they want with them. Americans are really
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: loved overseas right now anyway, So you get over there
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: and talk crap about this game, it's not gonna go great.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: I was so disappointed when I saw the schedule because
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: I was booked both weeks already to work, and then
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: I was gonna miss them. I was gonna be in
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Germany October eighth through the sixteenth, and so I was
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: gonna miss them no matter what. But I am jazzed
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: up to go watch them the next time because I
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: will be there because I love the idea of just
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: going over getting to watch your favorite team and then
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: also you're on vacation. I mean, I think it's terrific.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: And guess what, Vike's win and Dublin runs out of guinness.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: That's one of my predictions.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's I wonder, I wonder how many when
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: it's all said and done, because this will be the
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: two back to back weeks. I wonder what the numbers
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: of fans that'll actually be over there, and it'll be
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: It'll be really interesting to see. You know, London has
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: had the thing going on forever and ever and ever,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: just to see the excitement in the stadium. And I'm
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: always fascinated because the Vikings and the Steelers are both
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: you know, Steelers longer, but they're both early franchises, so
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: they've been around a really long time. So if you're
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: somebody over there who did I would assume it's going
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: to skew of the people who come there. You know,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: it's funny when you see a game in Mexico or
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Brazil or Europe and it's just like every guy wears
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: his own jersey. It's just Americans over there, like dude
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: shown up in his Niners jersey because he's not going
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: to get a chance to see the Niners. But it
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: will surprise me, given the Steeler history and success, if
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: it skewed Steeler in terms of the people in Europe
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: who travel to the game, Well.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: I think the I think if you're going just Dublin,
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: I mean Dublin is it seems more like Pittsburgh. It
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: seems like this bluey, blue collar rainy. So I wouldn't
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: be surprised if it if it leans a little towards
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: the Steelers. But listen, I don't I don't think fanship
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: here is going to matter. It's going to be guys
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: getting there, staying up as late as they can the
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: first day to get through the jet lag, and then
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: just making it happen.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: I love that you're with all the effort and intention
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: behind sports science in today's day and age. I love
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: that you in your brain what you think is going
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: to happen is what happens for you on a commercial
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: flight to Europe.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: There's no question.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: There's no question. Hey guys, if you're listening, stay up late,
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: you're welcome.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Let's do predictions.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Game prediction and by the way, we got our Jordan
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Mason game. You and I have been on it for
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: two weeks. We got a Jordan Mason game, we got
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: a Hockinson breakout game.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: So let's go.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: We'll do Steelers Vikings in Dublin. Let's do score prediction,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: player prediction and chad prediction.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna go score prediction, and no one's gonna
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: like this because it sounds unrealistic, but I'm gonna go
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: fifty five twenty one vikings, fifty twenty one vikings my
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: player prediction. I was lucky enough when I did initials
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: on the morning show on k Fan, I got to
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: talk to Josh Mattelis because I was talking to him
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: about how he's had this game circled on his calendar
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: since the schedule came out because Rogers got one on
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: him last time they played. And so I am with
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Josh Mattelis. I am supporting forty four and I say,
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: at least an interception. I don't know if he's going
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: to bring it back, but I'm gonna say at least
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: a pick. And my chad prediction is somebody is going
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: to bring me back a bottle of whiskey and maybe
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: I start drinking again.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I I'll go one hundred and twenty eight seventeen vikings.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Keep it consistent. I love the Mattellas prediction. I am
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: going to I'm going to say I think it's a
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: big sack day. I'm not going to put it on
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: any which which I'm maybe going to give it to
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Grenard for a couple of them.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: But I think it's going to be a big sack
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: day for us. And then I'd like Turner to get
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: a couple.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: That'd be great.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: I think, no matter how the game goes, our next
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: week's show will be a little frostier from a dynamic
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: standpoint because the Ireland Games starts at eight thirty Chad time,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: which means Chad starts getting Viking related texts from Cy
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: and his nephew at seven thirty eight o'clock Chad time.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: And I think that's gonna be a little intense for you.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: Will, but you have to understand that I am going
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: to be in San Diego, so it's actually going to
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: be coming in about five thirty.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: So then I predict a frozen dynamic between the two
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: of us. That's how I see it's going to be
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: on the next show.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Now we're pros.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: We're going to work through it right, absolutely, so we'll
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: go with that. We'll go big Vikings win. We're gonna
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: see Mattellus and some Sacks and we'll see how friendly
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: we are in the pre show meeting.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: I think it's going to be great because one more
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: prediction is Saturday night. I'm going to put my phone
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: on donaw sister.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Thanks to all of you for joining the show again
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: this week and for listening on our podcast feed.

• 25:59

• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Finally, a huge shout out to Ticketmaster, the official ticket
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: marketplace of the Minnesota Vikings, for helping make this show happen.
