- 0:29All right, hey, welcome to a special edition of The School Hop.
- 0:32I'm Evan, I'm Austin, I'm Forrest. Where more than a couple of
- 0:38dudes now from Iowa who like drink you here and a few dudes. I'm
- 0:42not from Iowa, but you're in Iowa right now. I am in Iowa
- 0:46and you're an honorary School Hopper. I am somehow. Yeah, third time
- 0:50on the show. Yeah, I appreciate the invite. Again, we couldn't
- 0:53do this show without you, so this is really more for necessity than anything
- 0:58else. So if you if you haven't gathered yet, we are in a
- 1:03garage. We're in Austin's garage. Yeah, sorry for the mess, guys.
- 1:07I couldn't clean everything up. My garage isn't any better. So it's
- 1:10a garage. But we're in the garage because it's Brew Day. It's Brew
- 1:15Day. It's Brew Day. We are brewing the Skull Hop. It's happening.
- 1:19Oh, my dog's gonna make an appearance too. It's pressure. Didn't
- 1:23come in. That's all right, all right, Forrest. You're here one
- 1:29because you're our friend and we love you. But two, specifically here today
- 1:33because we are brewing a beer that you created. You came up with this
- 1:38recipe, and now you're the captain of the ship of our brew day.
- 1:42Uh, tell us about the beer we're brewing. Yeah, so, I
- 1:46mean several months ago, we were talking about how you really wanted to make
- 1:49a beer to honor you know, your podcast skull Hops. So what we
- 1:56did was, you know, like you've mentioned before, took took Evan and
- 1:59your favorite styles of beer, so kind of like an amber and then more
- 2:04of an I p A. So we are making a happy Amber. Ale.
- 2:07I love it. I love it so much. I'm so excited to
- 2:09try this beer. It's a sad thing because we're not really going to be
- 2:14able to try it for like a month or so. Yeah. Yeah,
- 2:15the whole thing will be about a month away. So but but we'll get
- 2:21the smells and and and a little bit of the taste, just not not
- 2:23the finished product. Yeah. And this is my first time ever being a
- 2:28part of a brew in any capacity. So I've just been enjoying watching the
- 2:32process and it's a it's a stay out of the way. Well no,
- 2:37no, no, you've done a lot already. But yeah, that's the
- 2:43most important. But uh, it's a lot of sitting around. If if
- 2:46you've ever made beer before, it's it's a lot of sitting around. So
- 2:49what else can you do? But hey, crack one open? Yeah,
- 2:52and we should talk about this. Probably the most important part of brewing is
- 2:54cracking one open. Like the beer that you brew doesn't count if you didn't
- 3:00drink a beer while you were brewing it. Correct that That's exactly That's how
- 3:02I see it. And for Ust, you kind of we didn't really plan
- 3:07this one to be on the show right now, but you you brought us
- 3:10kind of ingest a little bit, right. So was it last week that
- 3:15I mentioned one of the worst beers I ever had was this like four to
- 3:20twenty beer and it tasted like that substance smells in every worst way possible.
- 3:25So Forrest took upon himself to bring us a beer called what's it called Forest?
- 3:30It is called Mary Jane. So it is the Mary Jane Amber caramel
- 3:38malt. Where's it from? Who? Grange Grange brew in Mount Pleasant Island.
- 3:46Yeah, I've never I have not had this brewery before, so that
- 3:49was another reason why I wanted this beer. But I had my reasons though.
- 3:53Yeah, so you kind of got it jokingly because I said the one
- 3:59four twenty beer was worse, and then you saw the the Mary Jan hemp
- 4:02seed beer, and we all cracked one open, and it's actually pretty just
- 4:11really like, there's nothing bad about this beer at all. You know,
- 4:14it's it's probably not as happy as as the beer we're brewin is, but
- 4:18it actually has that nice amber multi flavor. So so it kind of pays
- 4:25tribute to what we're trying to aim for. Like like I said, I
- 4:29think it was last week. I've never been one to partake in that substance,
- 4:32but everybody who's anybody has probably smelled that substance before. So there's definitely
- 4:40hints of that smell. It almost almost more. It has like an incense
- 4:46type smell. It's kind of and it's not overpowering. It's not bad and
- 4:53kind of the same way some like cocktails you get if they like light the
- 4:57wood on fire and it's like smoking fused. This is kind of like a
- 5:00nice hint of that smoky ish Mary Jane ish flavor. I like it.
- 5:08I like it a lot. I'm surprised. I like it so thank you,
- 5:11and I'm glad that that joke blew up in your face a little bit.
- 5:14Well, jokes on me, I guess. But I'm glad you enjoy
- 5:17it, because I was gonna make you suffer through it regardless. I mean,
- 5:20I was gonna drink it all the way. But man, I just
- 5:24I think back to that one beer I tried of my friends, and it
- 5:27was I couldn't have. I would have it would have come up before the
- 5:31can was empty. This one's pretty good. We need to skull here,
- 5:35all right, schull hell ah Forrest again as a Michigan fan, and he
- 5:43and I have a little tradition. I say school probably way too much in
- 5:46my natural life. But of course every time I open a beer or I
- 5:51don't say cheers, I say skull, as we should, right, like
- 5:55what it means? Uh what? Probably in the last couple of years,
- 5:59I kept trying Forrest every time we drink a lot of beers together. Every
- 6:02time I'd say schull and just want him he. I think he started off
- 6:06just saying cheers or like ah, whatever you'd say, and then eventually you're
- 6:10like, you know what, hale because hail to the victors. That's right
- 6:13from Michigan, right, Yeah, it's it's he brought me to to to
- 6:16that. Well, hey, and now even to the point that our kids
- 6:20are running around saying skull and hale and we're good parents. I mean,
- 6:27my daughter is very obsessed with the brewing process, so she was pretty excited
- 6:30to uh when it's a brew day. So I don't know what kind of
- 6:34parent I am, but no, that's a fantastic parent. And you know
- 6:38what, it can be a family business. You can start up the Miller
- 6:41Brewing Company. That could be totally disclaimer for your audience that I do not
- 6:46let my daughter drink the finished product. Sure, so that goes without saying.
- 6:51But she's old enough. Yeah yeah, oh, absolutely, well she
- 6:55can. She can be a brew assistant, assistant brewer before Yeah, she
- 7:00could probably do that. Yeah yeah, early elementary age, Yeah, she
- 7:02could totally do that. I worry sometimes with what she's gonna stay at school.
- 7:08So respect for the process of fun times. So well, in light
- 7:13of the Minnesota Michigan little rivalry that we've got going here, we've got some
- 7:19fodder here for conversation. I mean, some Michigan players coming up in the
- 7:25draft that could end up playing for the Vikings. Yeah yeah, So I
- 7:30mean, I don't know if you knew this, and I didn't know until
- 7:32they posted it, Eighteen Michigan players that were invited to the NFL combine.
- 7:36That's a record, I'll su when they had Joe Burrow had sixteen. So
- 7:41wow, eighteen players. So there's definitely a chance that your Vikings grab one
- 7:46or two of these Michigan players. And the Vikings have but seven or eight
- 7:50picks in this draft as of right now in what mid February, could have
- 7:55more. Yeah, depend they currently hold the number eleven pick. The the
- 8:01talk on Twitter this last week or so ever since the draft talk started at
- 8:07the beginning of the year. JJ McCarthy, quarterback of the Michigan Wolverines,
- 8:13I almost said the Michigan Panthers in the league. The USFL is that whether
- 8:20they were whatever. I think it's the XFL now they've they've combined, they
- 8:22combined, or the UFL. Yeah, now they combined, So I forget
- 8:26what the new it's like the XFL and the USFL. Yeah, I think
- 8:31it's the UFL, but that's not the UFL. That's for another uh or
- 8:35yeah, I keep saying it wrong either ways for another show. But JJ,
- 8:39for a while now, I've seen him talked about as like a late
- 8:41first, early second, you know, in that twenty five to thirty five
- 8:46range as far as overall picks. But for some reason something has come up
- 8:52pre combined pre you know, school pro days and everything. JJ is all
- 8:58of a sudden now seen as this like top ten type pick, and people
- 9:01are saying he might not even be available when Minnesota picks at eleven. So
- 9:07you watched him really the last two full years, Yeah, I mean,
- 9:11to your point, I think he was undervalue just because Michigan offense. I
- 9:16mean, they're not a pass happy team. Why do you need to be
- 9:20when you can run the ball so so well. But that doesn't take away
- 9:24from when JJ needed to throw. He made the throws, and I mean
- 9:30you look back at his tape, he does it well. He's very accurate,
- 9:33he's got a strong arm, and yeah, I think he's going to
- 9:37be a winner in the NFL give him some a few years in an appropriate
- 9:41team offense. Yeah. Yeah, and I think he could be that perfect
- 9:46kind of a blank canvas for head coach Kevin O'Connell to really get his hands
- 9:52on and mold in the perfect way. Kirk Cousins, who I'm a huge
- 9:56fan of and has always been a good quarterback and will continue to be a
- 10:00good quarterback wherever he plays, whether it's Minnesota from here on out, or
- 10:05somewhere else. Kirk Cousins when Kevin O'Connell came in, was not really like
- 10:09that mouldible. You know, he's an established professional, has been in the
- 10:13league for ye well, so you know what he's good at. You know
- 10:16what he is not as good at Kevin O'Connell. Yeah. Sure, they
- 10:22worked together and probably found out the best ways to do things in koc's offense
- 10:24and stuff, But Kevin O'Connell was coming in and had to kind of transform
- 10:28what he does to what Kirk does. The idea of a rookie quarterback coming
- 10:33in, especially with a JJ who seems to be a mouldable guy, he
- 10:37can kind of do a little bit of everything pretty well, KOC might be
- 10:41able to mold him into the professional that he could be. I would maybe
- 10:46play devil's advocate a little bit there, because we saw what Kevin O'Connell does
- 10:50with other quarterbacks once Kirk came out and nothing seemed to work. That's true,
- 10:56and that would be a concern of mine moving forward with a rookie quarter
- 10:58of whether it's JJ McCarthy or any of the other big name quarterbacks that are
- 11:05probably gonna go in the first round, it's gonna take some adjusting at the
- 11:09very least, and it might be a complete flop. Yeah. Absolutely,
- 11:15we just don't know yet. Yeah, I will say, and I think
- 11:18you'll agree with me here when Kirk or not Kirk, when Kosi had to
- 11:22work with quarterbacks not named Kirk Cousins, I mean you're literally talking about he
- 11:26had to try to win with a guy that with two careers by anybody else's
- 11:31name, and a rookie. Yeah, Like, I mean you think maybe
- 11:35Mullins would have had a little bit more success, but his thing was playing
- 11:39hero ball and throwing it up when he shouldn't have. I think he could
- 11:41still play in that chaos offense. But yeah, I think you make a
- 11:46good point. But I think with a full you know, rookie Mini camp
- 11:48OTAs literally probably sharing an office for an entire offseason if you've got a rookie
- 11:56quarterback and in theory, no Kirk Cousinsc's entire focus is going to be that
- 12:01quarterback. And then of course all the other head coaching duties, but I
- 12:05think KOs is going to default to making sure that rookie quarterback is what he
- 12:09wants him to be. And I would say that JJ obviously working under Jim
- 12:13Harball, who has been known to develop quarterbacks, I mean, Andrew Luck
- 12:18and such, so you see that he might already have that that that edge
- 12:24or step ahead of some of these other quarterbacks in the draft. So that's
- 12:28something that I hadn't really considered until just now when you said it. What
- 12:31pick do the Chargers have? The Chargers have Herbert, so they're not taking
- 12:37it JJ. You sure. I think the only way they would take a
- 12:39JJ is if like if he felt some crazy reason he was still available in
- 12:45like the third round. That's not gonna happen. But they with Justin Herbert,
- 12:50they're not gonna go for that. Fair McCarthy. That's fair. However,
- 12:54if you know the Chargers had if he had walked into a Chargers team
- 12:58that didn't have an established quarter back, if they were rolling with Tyrod Taylor
- 13:01or whoever, like, oh, absolutely, that'd be the talker of the
- 13:05season. We'd almost already have McCarthy Chargers jerseys up in the store right now,
- 13:09Like but yeah, I mean it's a good point. But so where
- 13:13does JJ go? I mean, is he early second round? Late first?
- 13:18I think he's probably in the What I'm looking at is probably anywhere between
- 13:24ten and twenty. So okay, yeah, where do you think he stacks
- 13:28up with the other big name, you know, the Caleb Williams, the
- 13:31Drake May, those guys, Like, yes, I'm kind of bitter,
- 13:35so I'm not a Caleb Williams fan. I think he has all the talent
- 13:39in the world, but I think his attitude off field is horrible and even
- 13:43on the field is horrible. So and then Drake May, I'm probably bitter
- 13:48because of the Mitch Trubisky. Uh so the North Carolina connection there. So
- 13:54we'll see. But uh yeah, I don't know. Excuse me, yeah,
- 14:01man, stay alive, man over there. Yeah, I think this
- 14:03beer is making you cough it up a little bit. Jeez, yeah,
- 14:07let it out. We always have editing abilities as well. So so yeah,
- 14:11you think you think JJ is probably somewhere, Like I tell you my
- 14:16personal feeling, the best quarterback on the board bow Nicks. Yeah, okay,
- 14:20I could see that. I mean success of multiple programs. Obviously,
- 14:26he's shown that he can adapt. Well, I could see that, and
- 14:30I just don't have a lot of background knowledge on any of these guys.
- 14:33I've watched some college football the last couple of years, but not a ton.
- 14:39So yeah, it'll be really interesting to see the order of how they're
- 14:45picked, and who picks them, and who trades up, who trades down
- 14:48who you know, it's it's gonna be crazy. Yeah, I'm excited to
- 14:52see how it goes. I'm going to think one of the most watched drafts.
- 14:56I think, oh, yeah, the top ten picks you could have.
- 15:01I mean, in theory, you could have five quarterbacks in the top
- 15:03ten picks, like definitely in the first round. You're talking more than five
- 15:09quarterbacks in the first round. Oh, easily. I'm excited to see if
- 15:13the Vikings trade up. I think at this point I'll be a little disappointed
- 15:16if they don't trade up, if they don't re sign Kirk Cousins. If
- 15:20you sign Kirk Cousins, then you can stick at eleven and just pick the
- 15:24best guy available, maybe even trade back. But there's a whole other talker
- 15:28there on if that's the best thing to do is to sign Kirk. We've
- 15:31beat that horse to death and everybody else has too. But at this point
- 15:35I'm almost of the mindset that I'll be surprised if they do sign Kirk Cousins
- 15:43and if they don't trade up to get one of the higher named quarterbacks who
- 15:46apparently JJ is somehow, you know, pre Combine, pre pro day,
- 15:52is working himself back into that upper echelon of quarterback conversation. And ultimately,
- 16:00I'm I have been on record I had never heard Jordan Addison's name before Draft
- 16:06night twenty twenty three, and when he was picked, I think you even
- 16:08said, like you went to sleep and woke up in time to see the
- 16:12Jordan Addison pick, and then you saw it and you were like pissed.
- 16:15I was mad. Yeah, I wasn't happy with that pick, but it
- 16:18turned out to be really good. Yeah, so far, he's probably I
- 16:22don't understand this because as a Bears fan, I was probably more excited about
- 16:26your guys picked than like, oh, yeah, the Vikings blew like that's
- 16:32funny, that's funny. I was sitting right next to you. You were
- 16:34saying, we were just really good. Yeah. I knew he was going
- 16:37to be a good compliment to JJ. So and even stepping up when JJ
- 16:41went, yeah, that's what I was gonna say. Yeah, he really
- 16:44filled in that gap in a big way. And now that hopefully they're both
- 16:48healthy going into the twenty twenty four season, and yeah, whoever's throwing on
- 16:52the ball, hopefully they can find him. And all that to say,
- 16:56at least the two of us, we don't really know exactly what we're talking
- 17:00about. We're just going off what Sports Center tells us. You do have
- 17:06a little bit more knowledge of these guys because you're a huge college football That's
- 17:11that's my jam. I mean, I'm a Bears fan, but my true
- 17:14love is, like I said before and on the other podcasts, I'm a
- 17:15college guy. So yeah, I foll it pretty closely. And yeah,
- 17:19I'm excited to see how the NFL combine turns out, to see where teams
- 17:26are thinking now. So and to that point, Skullhoppers, look out.
- 17:30We're going to have Forest on around draft time, maybe right before, maybe
- 17:33right after. Maybe both Forest can be our resident draft mind. Well i'll
- 17:40try, but it'll be fun regardless. Yeah, yeah, I think we'd
- 17:45be remiss to not talk about current Wolverines on the Vikings. Yes, and
- 17:49before we go through. Can I get time? Yeah, we are doing
- 17:52a brewdet so I need to make sure we're our times are good. So
- 17:56we're looking at twelve minutes. Okay, I need to start up and then
- 17:59we'll continue the conversation. I will intro who I'm going to talk about here.
- 18:03So to my knowledge, the Vikings have one Michigan Wolverine on the roster
- 18:07currently. Joshtellis Josh Mattellus, the Swiss Army Knife, the guy that the
- 18:12league fell in love with, the guy that could literally play every position on
- 18:17the defense. The dude's amazing and special teams probably he's awesome. Yeah,
- 18:26he was a Michigan Wolverine, and Forrest has said, as a fan of
- 18:30the Wolverines, he you know, he's never been a terrible football player,
- 18:34but he's definitely flourished more as a Viking than he ever did for the Wolverines.
- 18:38Is that right? That's exactly right. I mean you could tell he
- 18:42was a good player on on Michigan squad, but uh you look back,
- 18:47I mean he didn't. He wasn't like obviously heavily drafted. Yeah, so
- 18:52he had all the tools in place, but I think he's really developed obviously
- 18:55more in the pros than he did at Michigan, so I'm happy for him,
- 18:59you know. Yeah. He was on the Power Trip morning show on
- 19:03KFA and a week or two ago, and one of the guys on the
- 19:07show asked him, like, Hey, what was more more nerve wracking your
- 19:12first start at the Big House or your first start in the NFL? And
- 19:17I thought his answer was really really cool. He was saying, I think
- 19:22he got his first start he was either late freshman year, early sophomore year.
- 19:25I don't know if he red shirted, but he said he waited a
- 19:29little bit before he started. He wasn't a day one starter at Michigan,
- 19:33but walking into the Big House was like just this insane, hundred thousand fans,
- 19:37terrifying, crazy, awesome feeling. Whereas when he made his first start
- 19:41for the Vikings in the NFL, he said he had already been in for
- 19:45four years, so he'd already been doing the work, you know, working
- 19:48out, being around the team, studying the plays, like at the stadium,
- 19:53like he was almost like itching to get in, like I'm ready as
- 19:57a Viking, Whereas in Michigan and he was like soaking it all in and
- 20:02it was crazy, so I think he said it was more nerve wracking at
- 20:06his first start in Michigan. Yeah, in the NFL absolutely, I mean
- 20:10I think I remember him. He probably a three star recruit coming to high
- 20:14school. Michigan grabbed him. So I mean, definitely have the test obviously
- 20:18if you're playing for Michigan, but not one of those guys that is like
- 20:22a five star, you know, recruit coming to high school. So yeah,
- 20:25I mean he's he's really coming to his own and he's from Florida,
- 20:29right, He is from Florida, So a little bit of a climate change
- 20:32going from Florida, that's right. I really think with him, Brian Flores
- 20:38was one of those keys to unlock his potential as a player. I mean
- 20:42he was good at Michigan, and he was I think pretty good before Brian
- 20:48Flores because he was drafted and was signed to the active roster in twenty twenty,
- 20:55so he's been a Viking for a while. This this twenty three season
- 20:59era too. Yeah, this twenty three season wasn't his first rodeo, but
- 21:03I think he really made a name for himself and flourished under I totally agree
- 21:10you enough to cut you off. But yeah, Brian Floors, Uh,
- 21:12you know, he's very blitz happy and and and does a lot of different
- 21:17schemes. So Josh Mntellus played under at time Don Brown the DC at time
- 21:22at Michigan. He's very similar schemes and style. So yeah, I'm sure
- 21:29sure it clicked, like you said when when Flores came in for the job.
- 21:33So I believe Mattelis. I'm probably wrong on this, but I believe
- 21:37he has two more years left on his contract. He re upped before the
- 21:41beginning of the twenty three twenty four season. Yeah, I think that was
- 21:45a three year extension, so there's either two or three more years year extension
- 21:49he signed on September seventh of this last year. Okay, So then I
- 21:53would think that's you know, through the twenty five season. So we've got
- 21:57a couple of all that to say, We've got a couple more seasons for
- 22:00sure of Josh Mattelus, and I think that that will help the transition away
- 22:07from having Harrison Smith in the backfield, whether that's this year or next year.
- 22:11You feel like his retirement's coming. And honestly, we're recording on my
- 22:15phone right now I'm never gonna be surprised if I pull up Twitter at any
- 22:19point between now and sometime the next few years if I see, you know,
- 22:23Harrison Smith say all right, I'm retiring. I'll check right now.
- 22:26Yeah. But having a Josh Mattelis on the roster and then a cam bind
- 22:32him as well in that you know, safety backfield area, it's only going
- 22:36to help losing Harrison Smith, who in my opinion, should be a first
- 22:40ballot Hall of Famer. Probably I'll say it till the cows come home.
- 22:44I like Troy paalam Malu. I think he was a great football player.
- 22:47Obviously one at least one, if not more Super Bowls, kind of change
- 22:51the game was really popular. Yeah, and when we were in high school,
- 22:56Paula Malu was. He seemed like the NFL kind of pegged him as
- 22:59like a face of the shield type guy. He seemed like a good guy
- 23:03for the NFL to be like, hey, he's one of our best players
- 23:06to mark it up. And I think Harrison Smith, who is not as
- 23:11vocal, you know, he's not as promoted by the NFL. If anything,
- 23:17he may be you know, not as like likable. I don't I'm
- 23:22not really finding the right words. He is not the marketability of Troy palam
- 23:26Malu, but I think he's a better football player than Paula Malu and they
- 23:30play similar styles. I would agree for sure. So yeah, all that
- 23:33to say, Harrison Smith, first ballot Hall of Famer said that's pretty high
- 23:37praise compar and I would say you might be able to compare Paulamalu to Smith,
- 23:45like I think that's how much. I think it's the other way around.
- 23:48But again, to bring it back, I think having a Josh mattelis
- 23:52one Harrison Smith has probably made Mettellis a better player. And two keeping Mattellis
- 23:59after Harrison Smith retires or moves on is only going to help the Vikings.
- 24:04Good agreed. Yeah, So I'm gonna throw out a question for you guys.
- 24:10Then, if there were one Michigan player that the Vikings could get,
- 24:17which who is it going to be? Is it JJ, is it Blake
- 24:19Koram or is it some other other player? I'll tell you where I'm at
- 24:25right now, pre draft, pre any of the Kirk Cousins stuff. We
- 24:30need an answer. The Vikings need an answer at running back, and so
- 24:34Blake Korum looks really really attractive to me, knowing and you've already mentioned it
- 24:38for us how successful the Michigan run game was. Granted, he had a
- 24:44buddy who's sticking around. Yeah, Donavan Edwards is sticking around for another year,
- 24:48which is not only good for Michigan, but he'll give him a chance
- 24:51to showcase his his ability is a little bit more so. Sure, but
- 24:56Blake Koram is going to be in the draft, and I don't know,
- 24:57he's probably not a first round or he's probably not the eleventh pick overall.
- 25:03Yeah, which is what the Vikings career I think. I think he's second
- 25:07round, maybe third if he gets in the third round. Any team that
- 25:11gets him as it's a steal, I mean for for the value, and
- 25:15I'm not saying that biasedly. I mean you he's a workhorse and uh,
- 25:19whoever gets him is gonna I would love to see the Vikings pick him up
- 25:25second, third round somewhere in there. And he's got a little bit of
- 25:27an injury history. To the end of the twenty two season, he missed
- 25:32because of what was it in a cl or Yeah, yeah, I believe
- 25:36it was a cl which a cls are not the career killers. They used
- 25:38to be. But yeah, I mean you see it all last or this
- 25:41past season. I mean, obviously he's good to go. Yep. It
- 25:45didn't impact him at all. Yep. So I think that put it to
- 25:48rest, you know. Yeah, So I'd say yeah, for from that
- 25:53perspective, Blake Korn is definitely good. I mean, don't do value though
- 25:57a lot of the linemen, whether it be defensive or offensive side. There's
- 26:03there's a lot of good, good players on the on that team so well.
- 26:07In the fact of the matter, too, is anytime you have a
- 26:10national championship winning team, whether or not their coach was stealing signals, there's
- 26:15gonna be a gluttony of fantastic players on that team and players that will move
- 26:22on and have success in higher levels of football. And you almost can't go
- 26:25wrong with a lot of those guys. To answer your question, though,
- 26:27I'll probably agree it's either JJ or Blake Korum. At this point, the
- 26:33Vikings need help at running back. I'll be very, very upset if they
- 26:37go into the season with the same exact running back room that they went into
- 26:41the twenty three season. But there's no for that. I'd agree as a
- 26:47watching you know, your vikings play and and hearing about you know, you
- 26:52talking about them on your podcast. The running back definitely is an area where
- 26:56you definitely can improve. So yeah, all right, where are we at
- 27:00on our brew process right now? All right, so we're probably well,
- 27:04we're trying to heat up some water to about two hundred degrees, so we're
- 27:07gonna put into the mash ton to give it another ten minutes, and then
- 27:11we're gonna put that what they call wart, that sweet water from the grains
- 27:18into the boil kettle. So so we're getting close. Boys, I'm excited.
- 27:22Should we wrap things up here for now? And yeah, maybe we'll
- 27:26come back later. Yeah, give an update. And Evan, you've been
- 27:29taking video and pictures and everything, so I'm sure you're gonna have a lot

- 28:10favorite topic. But but but just NFL and college football and in general.
