0:00
Speaker 1: All right, Hey, Vikings fans, welcome in to another episode
0:03
Speaker 1: of The Schoolhop. I'm Evan and I'm Austin. We're just
0:05
Speaker 1: a couple of dudes from Iowa. We like drinking beer
0:07
Speaker 1: and talking about the Vikings.
0:09
Speaker 2: Yeah we do. And tonight we had some pretty good
0:11
Speaker 2: food and man, some of the best beer I've had
0:15
Speaker 2: in a long time, straight from Jackson Street Brewing.
0:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, Sioux City, Iowa. First time we featured them on
0:21
Speaker 1: the show, all because I drove through that part of town. Yeah,
0:24
Speaker 1: on my way back. We also played a little word
0:27
Speaker 1: association game that I thought was kind of fun. We
0:30
Speaker 1: had kind of a predictable outcome, though.
0:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that was that outcome was that we got
0:36
Speaker 2: to talk about the Vikings quarterback situation a little bit,
0:38
Speaker 2: so surprise, surprise.
0:42
Speaker 1: But then you asked me a pretty thought provoking question, like,
0:45
Speaker 1: if there were a former Viking that you would add
0:48
Speaker 1: to the team right now, who would that be? And
0:50
Speaker 1: I think we came up with some pretty good ideas.
0:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, we had. We had a lot of fun with that. Yeah,
0:55
Speaker 2: a little bit more, but yeah, you'll have to listen
0:58
Speaker 2: and figure all that stuff out. Until then, go ahead
1:01
Speaker 2: and grab a cold one. And join us for episode
1:04
Speaker 2: of the School Hot School Golf.
1:38
Speaker 1: All right, well, we're gonna get right into some beer here.
1:41
Speaker 1: I took a little road trip. It was a quick one.
1:44
Speaker 1: I went to a wedding in Sioux Falls, South Dakota,
1:47
Speaker 1: which there's a lot of Vikings fans up in that
1:50
Speaker 1: neck of the woods, which is kind of fun. But
1:52
Speaker 1: on our way back, I told my wife, I said,
1:54
Speaker 1: I'd like to stop in a brewery somewhere in the
1:57
Speaker 1: northwest area of Iowa on our way home, because we
2:01
Speaker 1: were kind of driving through that way, and we're of
2:03
Speaker 1: course from eastern Iowa, and we had the whole state
2:06
Speaker 1: to drive across, and I'm like, what a perfect opportunity.
2:09
Speaker 1: So we stopped at Jackson Street Brewing interesting in Sioux City, Iowa,
2:15
Speaker 1: and I picked up this bandits Hail Mary Pale All
2:19
Speaker 1: and I think Bandits might be the name of like
2:22
Speaker 1: their minor league baseball team it Lives, which is interesting
2:26
Speaker 1: because our minor league baseball team is also the River
2:29
Speaker 1: River Bandits, and they kind of have a similar logo.
2:33
Speaker 1: Maybe ours here in the Quad Cities has a raccoon
2:38
Speaker 1: as kind of the main character. This is just a
2:42
Speaker 1: normal like cowboy with the bandit handkerchief over his thing.
2:47
Speaker 1: But are you googling it right now figuring out what
2:50
Speaker 1: their logo is? Sioux City Bandits. Is that their minor
2:57
Speaker 1: league baseball team?
2:58
Speaker 2: It almost looks like professional indoor football team. Oh yeah, okay,
3:03
Speaker 2: so it's there on the point than you thought it was.
3:06
Speaker 1: So there you go, so kind of like the steam Wheelers. Yeah, equivalent, Okay,
3:10
Speaker 1: I like it. I like it. N AL National Arena League.
3:14
Speaker 1: Is that what that stands for?
3:15
Speaker 2: Potentially? Yeah?
3:17
Speaker 1: Well, this is their bandits. Hail Mary pale ale. It's
3:20
Speaker 1: five percent. It says it's crisp and hop forward with
3:25
Speaker 1: citrus notes.
3:26
Speaker 2: Sounds like it's right up my wheelhouse. Sounds like I'm
3:29
Speaker 2: I need to rip this one open and give it
3:30
Speaker 2: a trick.
3:31
Speaker 1: Well, let's crack them open, pour them up, and let's
3:34
Speaker 1: try it out.
3:34
Speaker 2: And this was what again? Jackson Street Brewing.
3:37
Speaker 1: Jackson Street Brewing out of Sioux City, Iowa.
3:41
Speaker 2: I wonder what street their brewery is located on.
3:44
Speaker 1: Actually it's not directly on Jackson Street. Oh no, I'm overflowing.
3:51
Speaker 2: Oh man, that's like the perfect poor for like a
3:53
Speaker 2: commercial beer commercial, but not for a podcast where we're
3:58
Speaker 2: trying not to ruin our recording aquipment and everything.
4:01
Speaker 1: That's okay. We got the paper towels on hand. Yep.
4:04
Speaker 2: That's one of the best things you ever did was
4:05
Speaker 2: keep a roll of paper towels right behind the school mate.
4:08
Speaker 1: I just took the last of them, so I'm gonna
4:10
Speaker 1: have to reset them.
4:11
Speaker 2: That's okay, then I gotta be careful.
4:13
Speaker 1: You ready to try this?
4:15
Speaker 2: Maybe we both had some pretty hard pores. This beer,
4:18
Speaker 2: I can say right now, has some pretty good head retention.
4:20
Speaker 1: And good aroma. I'm liking the smell so far. That's good.
4:30
Speaker 1: That's a good ipa I like it.
4:32
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh yeah, that's that's right there. That's hitting
4:36
Speaker 2: all the marks. That's a perfect citrusy, happy, refreshing, clean,
4:45
Speaker 2: pretty hazy.
4:46
Speaker 1: Man.
4:46
Speaker 2: That's it's really good. That that's one I could crush
4:50
Speaker 2: one or two or ten or fifteen, you know, like
4:53
Speaker 2: I could.
4:54
Speaker 1: That will crush a few while.
4:56
Speaker 2: That's real good. I like that a lot. That's something
4:58
Speaker 2: I'm kind of disappointed it's all the way on the
5:00
Speaker 2: other side of the state pretty much, because yeah, that
5:05
Speaker 2: I hope it's coming clear that I really like this.
5:07
Speaker 1: I think they distribute but not here on the eastern
5:10
Speaker 1: side of the state. I think they distribute kind of
5:13
Speaker 1: regionally on the west west side of the state.
5:15
Speaker 2: Jackson Street Brewing, if you want to distribute just straight
5:18
Speaker 2: to my front door. I will take three or four
5:21
Speaker 2: pallets of this stuff that's delicious and five percent.
5:25
Speaker 1: That's crustable beer.
5:28
Speaker 2: Yeah you could have. That's like to me, like, this
5:30
Speaker 2: is a fourth of July beer. One that you could
5:33
Speaker 2: you could just drink all the morning, watching the parade,
5:37
Speaker 2: all the way through the day, and then finish them
5:39
Speaker 2: off at night watching the fireworks. And you know, obviously
5:43
Speaker 2: responsibly not having like one hundred of them, but five percent.
5:47
Speaker 2: Easily twelve of these in a day throughout the day.
5:50
Speaker 2: If you pace yourself, you're you're crushing these. These are man,
5:54
Speaker 2: that's super good. Thank you Evan for bringing those side.
5:56
Speaker 1: We have had good We have had beer by mail,
6:01
Speaker 1: So Jackson Street, if you're out there listening, we do
6:04
Speaker 1: take beer. We can provide an address if yeah, yeah,
6:08
Speaker 1: I thought something you're interested in. We're not. We're not
6:11
Speaker 1: peer pressuring in any.
6:12
Speaker 2: Way pressure you guys, but I will say that's only
6:16
Speaker 2: because this beer is so good. I had one solid
6:19
Speaker 2: goalp of this and it's fantastic. I almost want to
6:23
Speaker 2: savor it because it's we only have a couple here,
6:25
Speaker 2: so very very good beers. Actually, when you said that
6:29
Speaker 2: you were driving across the state, some small part of
6:32
Speaker 2: me thought maybe you were gonna have stopped at what.
6:37
Speaker 1: Is it's a little too far north from the direction
6:41
Speaker 1: I was coming from. We went south from Sioux Falls
6:44
Speaker 1: to Sioux City and then we took Highway twenty all
6:46
Speaker 1: the way across the state. So if you know your
6:48
Speaker 1: Iowa geography, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Yeah,
6:51
Speaker 1: if you don't, that's all right. There's like four ways
6:55
Speaker 1: to go across the state of Iowa, and they're all
6:57
Speaker 1: really boring.
6:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, the state's kind of boring.
6:59
Speaker 1: So it is. There's just a lot of farm land.
7:01
Speaker 2: But you know what, I can say that because it's
7:03
Speaker 2: my state.
7:04
Speaker 1: So there was one moment where I thought for sure
7:10
Speaker 1: I was cooked. Oh no, I was on my phone.
7:15
Speaker 1: We were on Highway twenty and we were in western
7:17
Speaker 1: Iowa and you.
7:18
Speaker 2: Were driving and I was driving. Listen, kids, don't ever
7:22
Speaker 2: text and drive.
7:23
Speaker 1: Well, I wasn't texting. I was simply just checking the map,
7:26
Speaker 1: like okay, And I had my phone in my hand,
7:28
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, behind me in the rear view,
7:31
Speaker 1: I saw lights come on and I'm like, oh crap.
7:35
Speaker 1: And I looked at my wife and I just said,
7:36
Speaker 1: I'm getting pulled over. I had the phone in my hands,
7:39
Speaker 1: and she's like, are you sure? And I was like,
7:41
Speaker 1: I don't know. But I was in the left lane
7:43
Speaker 1: and there was a guy in the right lane that
7:44
Speaker 1: I was passing, and so I sped up a little
7:47
Speaker 1: bit and I got in front of the guy that
7:50
Speaker 1: was to my right.
7:51
Speaker 2: Fully intending to be pulled out, and I was getting
7:53
Speaker 2: ready to pull over, and the troop, it was a
7:56
Speaker 2: state trooper.
7:57
Speaker 1: He just shot right past me. And I looked at
7:59
Speaker 1: my and I was like, whoo wow, all right, I survived.
8:05
Speaker 1: That was my heart was beating. I got pulled over
8:08
Speaker 1: three times in one year. When we were eighteen years old.
8:12
Speaker 2: You had to take the class.
8:13
Speaker 1: I had to take a class, and my license was suspended. Well,
8:16
Speaker 1: it wasn't suspended, but it was on probation, which means
8:18
Speaker 1: if I got another moving violation, it would have been suspended.
8:21
Speaker 1: And I was not like a mischievous, nefarious person. I
8:27
Speaker 1: just had bad luck. And I also was kind of
8:29
Speaker 1: a crazy driver. We were eighteen, we were young, yep.
8:35
Speaker 1: But ever since then, I've just had this like every
8:38
Speaker 1: time I see an officer when I'm driving around, I'm like,
8:41
Speaker 1: check my speed, sit up straight, you know, just kind
8:44
Speaker 1: of check myself a little bit and make sure that
8:46
Speaker 1: I'm not the one that's gonna get pulled over. And fortunately,
8:49
Speaker 1: in that situation, it was not me. So well, I'm
8:52
Speaker 1: very grateful for that for you.
8:54
Speaker 2: Do you remember a similar situation kind of happened to
8:56
Speaker 2: us on one of our brew hop tours the interstate.
9:01
Speaker 2: I think it was two point zero because I believe
9:03
Speaker 2: front of the show for us was with us, and
9:06
Speaker 2: I think we had more awareness too, because some other
9:09
Speaker 2: driver like Blue Blue remember fifty five or something like that.
9:14
Speaker 1: It was pretty egregious.
9:15
Speaker 2: And then within a minute came past us the lights
9:19
Speaker 2: and sirens of a police officer.
9:20
Speaker 1: That's I don't think I was driving either. I was driving.
9:23
Speaker 2: You were driving.
9:24
Speaker 1: Yeah.
9:24
Speaker 2: When we would do the recording of that, you were
9:26
Speaker 2: doing in the back with the producer in the backseat. Yeah,
9:29
Speaker 2: so I would drive, but.
9:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, good times. All right. Well, before we get really
9:36
Speaker 1: into the episode, we've got one more twist that we're
9:38
Speaker 1: going to add to the episode today. We got some
9:40
Speaker 1: food we do. It's dinner time right now, and so
9:44
Speaker 1: we door dashed some food.
9:45
Speaker 2: You're welcome, by the way, thank you foring never been
9:48
Speaker 2: a door dash driver until today, so I owe you
9:51
Speaker 2: a tip.
9:52
Speaker 1: The tip was the beer. Oh there we go. Okay,
9:56
Speaker 1: but let's get some food up here, and uh, let's
9:59
Speaker 1: eat because I'm hungry. It's like six o'clock and I
10:02
Speaker 1: usually did it at like five thirty, so it's been
10:04
Speaker 1: a while and I'm ready for some food.
10:06
Speaker 2: A little behind the scenes here and I might have
10:08
Speaker 2: grabbed two plates.
10:09
Speaker 1: Oh it's all good, I grabbed extra.
10:11
Speaker 2: I'm going to be out of town next week. So
10:12
Speaker 2: we're trying to switch up our schedule a little bit
10:15
Speaker 2: right now to keep the release schedule consistent. And hopefully
10:20
Speaker 2: everything's good. But yeah, it's forcing us to record not
10:23
Speaker 2: during our children's bedtime, but during normal people dinner time.
10:28
Speaker 1: So you picked you picked up thirty boneless wings from
10:32
Speaker 1: Buffalo Wild Wings, and you said you didn't care what
10:37
Speaker 1: sauce was on them. So I went with the pansy route,
10:41
Speaker 1: and I went honey barbecue and parmesan garlic, because that's
10:45
Speaker 1: what I like. Yep, I don't do anything spicier than that.
10:47
Speaker 1: In fact, I will probably be a little bit when
10:51
Speaker 1: I eat the parmesan garlic because it's really kind of
10:54
Speaker 1: spicy for me.
10:55
Speaker 2: Really interesting. So I have said before, I am one
10:59
Speaker 2: that I could food basically can't be spicy enough for me.
11:03
Speaker 2: My wife tells me that I have ruined and burned
11:06
Speaker 2: my taste buds before, and that's I believe it.
11:08
Speaker 1: I believe it. That's okay.
11:09
Speaker 2: But I also can recognize, like, if you're somebody that
11:13
Speaker 2: has like like a peanut allergy, you can't control that,
11:17
Speaker 2: while if you're also somebody that cannot handle spicy food,
11:22
Speaker 2: it's not like you can control that. You know, Like
11:25
Speaker 2: just because I can sit here and you know, be
11:28
Speaker 2: sweating while eating food and spicy wings and stuff like
11:31
Speaker 2: that doesn't mean everybody else has to. So there's no
11:33
Speaker 2: shame in not enjoying spicy food, but parmesan garlic being
11:38
Speaker 2: a little spicy. Evan I just said, I wouldn't judge
11:43
Speaker 2: a little bit, but you can judge. I'm gonna judge that.
11:45
Speaker 1: Just a little bit. I've told you before that landing
11:49
Speaker 1: on something spicy on the purple punishments. Wheel is like
11:53
Speaker 1: my deepest fear.
11:54
Speaker 2: Would you rather get shot with a BB gun or eat? Like,
11:58
Speaker 2: what do we have a handful of those spicy almonds
12:01
Speaker 2: or whatever?
12:01
Speaker 1: I think that was the first iteration of that. Hm,
12:05
Speaker 1: I don't, I forget. I think just like you ate
12:08
Speaker 1: straight halopeno. That was the first iteration. That was the
12:11
Speaker 1: first iteration of it. You straight, you ate straight holopanos
12:14
Speaker 1: out of the jar and you ate them like they
12:16
Speaker 1: were candy and then finished the jar. I think I
12:19
Speaker 1: had to.
12:19
Speaker 2: Eat a spicy they were like almonds, almonds or cash something,
12:25
Speaker 2: because then I took the rest and like ate the
12:27
Speaker 2: rest for lunch the next day.
12:28
Speaker 1: And U yeah, I did not do well with those.
12:31
Speaker 1: It took me a while to recover this. This is
12:35
Speaker 1: about as spicy as I get in my life. So
12:38
Speaker 1: sue me, I don't know. I actually don't do that.
12:40
Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of money. You're not coming
12:42
Speaker 1: after much anyways.
12:43
Speaker 2: Okay, Michael Scott doesn't say that at one point like, okay.
12:47
Speaker 1: Sue me, actually wait, no, actually don't do that. All right, Well,
12:53
Speaker 1: let's let's eat, and while we eat, I figured we'll
12:57
Speaker 1: play a little game.
12:58
Speaker 2: Play a little game. All right, you were kind of
12:59
Speaker 2: described having this game to me a little bit.
13:01
Speaker 1: This is a game of my own invention.
13:03
Speaker 2: All right.
13:03
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to shuffle some things around so we
13:05
Speaker 1: can eat. I just eat boy style whatever. It doesn't
13:09
Speaker 1: matter to me, but not.
13:11
Speaker 2: That we need.
13:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, So here's here's the game. I'll explain it while
13:15
Speaker 1: you get your first wing here. And there's plenty of
13:18
Speaker 1: ranch and blue trees back here, because you gotta have
13:21
Speaker 1: those with dubs. So here's here's the game. We are
13:26
Speaker 1: gonna pick a finite number, probably between one and fifteen
13:32
Speaker 1: or something like that number. We're okay, uh nine, all right?
13:36
Speaker 2: Nine?
13:36
Speaker 1: Why nine? You're wearing a nine jersey. We're gonna pick nine.
13:41
Speaker 1: We're gonna play word association. So one of us is
13:44
Speaker 1: gonna start by saying a word. The other will fire
13:46
Speaker 1: back with a different word that comes to mind after
13:50
Speaker 1: the other says their word. We're going to fire back
13:52
Speaker 1: and forth nine times.
13:54
Speaker 2: Got it?
13:55
Speaker 1: Nine times? That's a fairis Bueller reference. Once we land
14:00
Speaker 1: on the ninth word going back and forth, we have
14:04
Speaker 1: to talk about for at least five minutes whatever it is.
14:08
Speaker 2: That word was. That word was, So if we end
14:11
Speaker 2: up with the word of like like suck a tash.
14:15
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't even know that.
14:17
Speaker 2: I was trying to think of a word that we
14:18
Speaker 2: probably won't end up with. Then that's what we got
14:21
Speaker 2: to talk about, correct.
14:22
Speaker 1: Got it?
14:23
Speaker 2: Okay?
14:23
Speaker 1: Makes sense? Yeah? Yeah?
14:24
Speaker 2: So all right, you picked the number you started off? Okay, wings, Buffalo.
14:37
Speaker 1: Wild oh Man hockey Minnesota.
14:42
Speaker 2: Wow, where are we at? Thing's buffalo?
14:44
Speaker 1: I think that was five?
14:46
Speaker 2: Hockey Minnesota, So we got four more? All right, Minnesota
14:53
Speaker 2: winter football football? Okay? All rightum? Injury quarterback?
15:11
Speaker 1: Whoa?
15:12
Speaker 2: What did I tell you before we started recording? When
15:14
Speaker 2: you were explaining, I was like, you know what we're
15:16
Speaker 2: gonna end up doing. We're gonna end up like accidentally
15:19
Speaker 2: just talking about the quarterback situation and.
15:22
Speaker 1: Truthfully manifest that.
15:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, that little bit, I mean that maybe you you
15:27
Speaker 2: had a few other words in mind for your last word,
15:29
Speaker 2: but you chose quarterback.
15:31
Speaker 1: And it worked.
15:33
Speaker 2: Evan, Why did you Why did you choose quarterback? Why
15:36
Speaker 2: is quarterback on your mind right now?
15:37
Speaker 1: Well, you're wearing a JJ McCarthy jersey, and you know.
15:40
Speaker 2: What I've decided. I think I'm gonna wear a JJ
15:44
Speaker 2: McCarthy jersey every episode, every episode until it's officially announced
15:51
Speaker 2: who QB one is gonna be, and we could debate,
15:55
Speaker 2: you know, I think there's a lot of ESPN would
15:57
Speaker 2: want you to believe right now, there's no competent.
16:00
Speaker 1: It's over with.
16:01
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray. Was QB one the second he signed on
16:04
Speaker 2: that dot of mine and that's it. But I mean,
16:08
Speaker 2: I don't I don't think that's one hundred percent sure
16:11
Speaker 2: where we sit early June right now.
16:13
Speaker 1: I fully expected you to say something like you would
16:16
Speaker 1: typically say, like I'm gonna wear this jersey until it's
16:19
Speaker 1: officially announced that JJ McCarthy is the starter. I fully
16:24
Speaker 1: expected you to say that, but you remained politically correct
16:28
Speaker 1: at this point, which I appreciate because I'm definitely on
16:31
Speaker 1: the other side of the aisle from you on this argument.
16:37
Speaker 1: I think the job is Kyler Murray's. And honestly, like
16:41
Speaker 1: this last week, all I've seen is, oh JJ McCarthy
16:44
Speaker 1: left practice early. Ooh JJ McCarthy was stretching by himself
16:48
Speaker 1: for warm ups. Ooh. JJ McCarthy seemed to have this
16:50
Speaker 1: angry scowl on his face the whole time at OTAs,
16:54
Speaker 1: and I kind of buy into it. I'm gonna be honest,
16:56
Speaker 1: I kind of buy into it. I buy into the
16:59
Speaker 1: fact that he is separating himself. I buy into the
17:04
Speaker 1: fact that he is wanting to maximize his impact in
17:12
Speaker 1: this competition. And I buy into the fact that he
17:15
Speaker 1: knows he's the underdog. I'm going to buy into all
17:18
Speaker 1: of that. And I could be the fool. That's fine,
17:23
Speaker 1: Come August, I could be sitting here and you could be,
17:26
Speaker 1: you know, laughing at me, like a let me get
17:28
Speaker 1: to you. You were wrong. He just laughed practice early
17:30
Speaker 1: because he had to go home because his wife was
17:33
Speaker 1: sick or something.
17:34
Speaker 2: So I did hear specifically about that leaving practice early thing.
17:37
Speaker 2: I think it was Alec Lewis of the Athletic who
17:40
Speaker 2: I really like a lot. Alec is a good follow Yep,
17:43
Speaker 2: he puts out a lot of good stuff. Yeah, really
17:46
Speaker 2: really good Vikings news person. But he was the one
17:52
Speaker 2: that initially said, like, yeah, Kevin O'Connell sees everything. He
17:54
Speaker 2: sees when you know, maybe a throw doesn't go the
17:58
Speaker 2: right way, he sees when Jji McCarthy walks off of
18:01
Speaker 2: the practice field at the end of practice alone, where
18:04
Speaker 2: the other three quarterbacks kind of stay back together, but
18:07
Speaker 2: then he did kind of like within that Alec did
18:11
Speaker 2: within a day or so say that he's pretty sure
18:14
Speaker 2: he heard McCarthy had like golf plans with some teammates,
18:19
Speaker 2: and that may have been why he left the field
18:23
Speaker 2: on his own rather than hang around with the group
18:25
Speaker 2: of quarterbacks. I don't know. I don't really care about that,
18:29
Speaker 2: and I don't think anybody should really care about that.
18:33
Speaker 2: But I thinkeme of things. I don't think it matters
18:35
Speaker 2: for the quarterback competition.
18:37
Speaker 1: I think you shouldn't care a little bit. Like what
18:40
Speaker 1: did the coaches always tell us when we were growing up, Right, Hey,
18:43
Speaker 1: put in one hundred and show up early, stay late,
18:47
Speaker 1: do every little thing right. And if you're if you're
18:51
Speaker 1: former proverbial starter, former top ten first round draft pick,
18:56
Speaker 1: highest draft pick at quarterback in team history, is leaving
19:00
Speaker 1: early and Ota is to go golfing with somebody.
19:02
Speaker 2: I don't think he was leaving early, or I think
19:04
Speaker 2: in that specific scenario being on time, practice was done
19:08
Speaker 2: and rather than I walk with the group, walked a
19:11
Speaker 2: few steps ahead. I think that's about what it was.
19:14
Speaker 1: And again I'm just playing devil's advocate.
19:16
Speaker 2: I don't know.
19:17
Speaker 1: I wasn't there. I didn't watch it, but that would
19:21
Speaker 1: communicate something to me if I were the coach, like, hmm,
19:25
Speaker 1: golf is a little more important to him, huh. And
19:28
Speaker 1: people could throw the same thing back in my face
19:31
Speaker 1: with Kyler Murry like oh, well, he was probably trying
19:34
Speaker 1: to rush home to play video games whatever, like okay, yeah,
19:37
Speaker 1: sure whatever.
19:38
Speaker 2: Also with that, like, as a guy who was rooting
19:42
Speaker 2: for JJ McCarthy in this competition, I think the idea
19:45
Speaker 2: that people saying like, oh, Kyler plays too much video games,
19:48
Speaker 2: like that's also like who cares? Like I don't care
19:51
Speaker 2: what Kyler does.
19:53
Speaker 1: I don't really care either. In fact, I'd rather have
19:56
Speaker 1: him do that than do what Jordan Addison was doing.
19:58
Speaker 1: Oh yeah this timelast year in.
20:00
Speaker 2: Front of a green light or getting kicked out of a.
20:05
Speaker 1: Country cost whatever.
20:07
Speaker 2: In the morning.
20:09
Speaker 1: So anyways, all that to say, I don't know. I
20:13
Speaker 1: buy into some of the hype a little bit, which yeah,
20:16
Speaker 1: we're supposed to, and I think I think it it
20:19
Speaker 1: will come back negatively on j. J McCarthy. I think
20:23
Speaker 1: every little thing he does from now till August one
20:26
Speaker 1: hundred matters, including being a few steps ahead of your teammates.
20:31
Speaker 1: Leaving the facility to go play golf. I think that matters.
20:35
Speaker 1: I think it communicates something like I'm not saying you
20:38
Speaker 1: gotta like sleep there and be there all night, but
20:44
Speaker 1: if you're if you're that guy, and you are that
20:46
Speaker 1: passionate about winning that role, then you need to be
20:51
Speaker 1: there bright and early in the morning, one of the
20:53
Speaker 1: first ones there, and you need to be one of
20:55
Speaker 1: the last ones to leave. And that's a principle that
20:58
Speaker 1: I live by as a leader in my own life,
21:00
Speaker 1: Like I'm gonna be one of the first ones there
21:02
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be one of the last ones to
21:03
Speaker 1: leave every single day. That's just part of who I am,
21:07
Speaker 1: absolutely and I personally subscribe to that. So I'm going
21:11
Speaker 1: to hold others that want great things for themselves to
21:15
Speaker 1: that same standard.
21:18
Speaker 2: So I also want to make it clear too, my
21:20
Speaker 2: personal thoughts on this quarterback competition. I've said it before
21:24
Speaker 2: and I'll say it again. I'm a fan of the
21:27
Speaker 2: Minnesota Vikings. Yeah, I want Kyler Murray. I'm sorry. I
21:33
Speaker 2: want JJ McCarthy to win the job because he earned it.
21:37
Speaker 2: I want it to be a situation where the guy
21:40
Speaker 2: who the Vikings took tenth overall and who has had
21:45
Speaker 2: minimal opportunities due to injury. I want that guy, for
21:50
Speaker 2: the sake of the franchise to win the job and
21:54
Speaker 2: to be good. But truthfully, I'm not gonna pitch a fit.
21:59
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be pissed off if Kyler Murray wins
22:02
Speaker 2: this job outright, and even if it's one of those
22:06
Speaker 2: like maybe he's already got the QB one job locked
22:09
Speaker 2: up or ninety percent locked up. If he wins the job,
22:13
Speaker 2: I want the best players to be playing for the Vikings,
22:17
Speaker 2: regardless of who was drafted by who and what place
22:22
Speaker 2: they were and who's paying who more money. I just
22:25
Speaker 2: I want the Vikings to start a guy at quarterback
22:27
Speaker 2: who can throw four thousand yards and thirty touchdowns and
22:31
Speaker 2: win games and not choke the last two games of
22:33
Speaker 2: the season, and who can be a team player and
22:37
Speaker 2: lead the team to the super Bowl. That's the only
22:39
Speaker 2: thing I truly care about. That's all we want. Yeah,
22:43
Speaker 2: but I think it would be nice if that guy
22:45
Speaker 2: ended up being the guy that they drafted super high.
22:49
Speaker 2: And be clear too, the punishment for whiffing on the
22:55
Speaker 2: McCarthy draft pick and the Sam Darnold free agent he
23:00
Speaker 2: re signing has already been dealt out. Quasiadapa Mensa was
23:04
Speaker 2: fired for probably a lot of reasons, but that was
23:08
Speaker 2: the main one. That and draft. So I think Kevin O'Connell,
23:13
Speaker 2: I think obviously Nolan Teasley, as far as this whole
23:17
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy situation goes, they're free rolling. They truly have
23:21
Speaker 2: the opportunity. Kevin O'Connell is not going to look bad
23:24
Speaker 2: if he's like, yeah, we went through this competition and
23:26
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray won, Okay, that happens. You know, he's not
23:30
Speaker 2: looking bad because he was the coach that drafted JJ McCarthy.
23:34
Speaker 2: Because Quacyadapamensa was the GM that drafted him, and he
23:38
Speaker 2: already got punished for it. He's out. There's a new
23:40
Speaker 2: GM or free rolling. So there's a lot of freedom
23:46
Speaker 2: with the Vikings right now in their quarterback decision and situation,
23:50
Speaker 2: and I truly think it will open up for the
23:53
Speaker 2: idea that the best guy, whoever actually wins the job,
23:59
Speaker 2: will play and we won't have any questions. I think
24:02
Speaker 2: it should be noted if JJ McCarthy wins this job
24:04
Speaker 2: and he's a week one starter, there should be no
24:07
Speaker 2: questions that he won the job, and it's not one
24:10
Speaker 2: of those where Kevin O'Connell's trying to save his job
24:13
Speaker 2: by putting the rookie or the young guy out there.
24:16
Speaker 2: It's truly going to be whoever wins the competition.
24:18
Speaker 1: And I love that you're waiting to take a bite,
24:21
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna let you in this little break here,
24:25
Speaker 1: I would like to point out I'm starting to sweat
24:28
Speaker 1: a little bit, like there is some slight perspiration along
24:34
Speaker 1: the forehead, along the neckline, like it's there, and I
24:39
Speaker 1: feel it. Every sip of beer. Beer makes it worse.
24:41
Speaker 1: Alcohol makes spicy stuff even spicier, okay, which I didn't
24:46
Speaker 1: learn until a little bit later in life. Like I
24:51
Speaker 1: was a little naive to that fact for a while,
24:55
Speaker 1: and then I'd eat food like this and I'd drink
24:58
Speaker 1: beer with it, and I'd be like, why is it
25:00
Speaker 1: so spicy? And that's why. So, yeah, I'm dealing with
25:07
Speaker 1: it over here, but I'm good. I'm fine. It's not
25:10
Speaker 1: it's not those ghost pepper whatever you gave me for
25:13
Speaker 1: the purple punishments.
25:14
Speaker 2: Eating something spicy is something that has to live on
25:17
Speaker 2: the wheel of purple punishment for Sue. It's such a
25:20
Speaker 2: good pun.
25:20
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna try to find something like extremely spicy
25:24
Speaker 1: for you, and then you're gonna find some you're gonna know,
25:28
Speaker 1: there's gonna be something mildly look a notch down.
25:33
Speaker 2: I don't agree with this.
25:34
Speaker 1: We're not on the same page.
25:35
Speaker 2: I don't agree with it.
25:36
Speaker 1: We're not on the same levels.
25:37
Speaker 2: It's got to be the same, it's got to be
25:39
Speaker 2: the same. We can we can talk off air on
25:40
Speaker 2: that one.
25:41
Speaker 1: But well, if it's like one of those like Internet,
25:45
Speaker 1: have you ever done that one chip challenge? Have you
25:49
Speaker 1: done those?
25:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not bad. It's really spicy, super hot. I
25:54
Speaker 2: don't do it because I want to have a snack.
25:58
Speaker 2: But they're not like going to ruin your day.
26:00
Speaker 1: I think it would ruin my dead. It might ruin
26:03
Speaker 1: like my week, my month. I don't know it would.
26:09
Speaker 1: We'll have to talk. I'm tearing up right now from.
26:13
Speaker 2: Mind you, folks. I think we've already said it. We
26:15
Speaker 2: have honey barbecue and parmesan garlic Buffalo wild wings. Reach
26:21
Speaker 2: out to us tell us if there's anything spicy involved
26:24
Speaker 2: with either of these recipes here.
26:26
Speaker 1: I think honey barbecue is technically higher on their spicy
26:30
Speaker 1: scale than parmesan garlic, but I disagree.
26:33
Speaker 2: I've heard, like children say honey barbecue is spicy, but
26:37
Speaker 2: like when my family when we get buffalo wild wings
26:40
Speaker 2: to eat as a family, we get did you just
26:42
Speaker 2: find a bone in? I was kind of gross, breaking news.
26:46
Speaker 2: Chickens have bones. These are boneless, though they're supposed to be.
26:50
Speaker 2: But when we get buffalo buffalo wild wings, we'll get
26:55
Speaker 2: like thirty honey barbecue, and maybe we'll get like five
27:00
Speaker 2: of the like sauceless ones, the naked ones. But like
27:05
Speaker 2: my kids, they probably don't even know there are other
27:09
Speaker 2: sauces because I also don't get like the mango habin
27:13
Speaker 2: arrow or the super spicy ones when it's the family,
27:16
Speaker 2: because like I like honey barbecue, I like them all,
27:18
Speaker 2: but but I mean, I've also never heard parmesan garlic
27:24
Speaker 2: as a spicy option.
27:26
Speaker 1: It's okay, it's tangy, it's good. We buy the parmesan
27:30
Speaker 1: garlic sauce in bottles and we cook with it, and
27:33
Speaker 1: I think that's even spicier than the the wings themselves.
27:37
Speaker 1: Like I think when my wife cooks with it, it's
27:39
Speaker 1: even spicier. I like it a lot, but that I'm
27:42
Speaker 1: like that's like, that's like me ordering That's that's like
27:48
Speaker 1: you ordering the hottest wing that you can order at
27:52
Speaker 1: beat ups.
27:53
Speaker 2: I will say their hottest one the Blazing or Blaze
27:57
Speaker 2: in I'm not a huge fandom. They're just really spicy,
28:01
Speaker 2: but the flavors not awesome. I think their Mango habnero
28:05
Speaker 2: is much better, and that's like either the second or
28:08
Speaker 2: third hottest one according to them. But yeah, they they
28:13
Speaker 2: I'm not getting any semblance of a spice vibe from
28:17
Speaker 2: these and that's that's everyone's different, just like the Vikings
28:22
Speaker 2: have two different quarterbacks. I've even heard people saying, like
28:26
Speaker 2: Carson Wentz could be he could win the job out right.
28:30
Speaker 1: I think that's a little far out, yeah.
28:32
Speaker 2: Because like I don't think he's QB one, he's solid
28:37
Speaker 2: QB two. Come in play a few games like he
28:39
Speaker 2: did last year and win a few games, and statistically
28:42
Speaker 2: he played better, you know, had better stats than JJ McCarthy.
28:47
Speaker 2: I think JJ ended up with like more yards, but
28:50
Speaker 2: Carson still looked better. Yeah, it's a new year. I've
28:54
Speaker 2: also heard apparently JJ has really worked on his mechanics
29:01
Speaker 2: and he one of the tough things about him was
29:05
Speaker 2: he couldn't. He only had one ball, you know, it
29:07
Speaker 2: was only one speed one ball. He threw a ten
29:11
Speaker 2: yard pass the same way he would a thirty yard pass,
29:15
Speaker 2: and that made it difficult. So apparently that's one of
29:18
Speaker 2: the things he's working on there too. Neither of us
29:19
Speaker 2: are at practice, neither of us really see anything other
29:22
Speaker 2: than those like one minute YouTube videos of highlights that
29:25
Speaker 2: the Vikings put out, but from people who know what
29:30
Speaker 2: they're talking about. Apparently JJ is looking good, but also
29:35
Speaker 2: so is Kyler Murray.
29:37
Speaker 1: Apparently, Yeah, and it's just gonna be a really interesting summer,
29:43
Speaker 1: I think, to see how this whole thing develops and
29:47
Speaker 1: to see where things shake out at the end. You know,
29:51
Speaker 1: is it gonna be Jj McCarthy is, here's my prediction.
29:56
Speaker 1: If it's JJ, it's JJ. By hair, it's so close
30:02
Speaker 1: that it was tough, and I think Kevin O'Connell would
30:05
Speaker 1: be pretty transparent with some of that, Like I think
30:09
Speaker 1: you would say, oh, yeah, it was really close, tough competition.
30:11
Speaker 1: But JJ's the guy, he's the one we believe in.
30:15
Speaker 1: Kyler's gonna back him up or or I think if
30:20
Speaker 1: it's Kyler, I think it's gonna be And this is where, don't.
30:23
Speaker 1: I don't think KAOS would be as transparent. It'll be
30:28
Speaker 1: Kyler by a mile, and KAOS will still say, oh,
30:31
Speaker 1: it's really close, but yeah, and everybody that's gonna be
30:35
Speaker 1: there for training camp will say it was Kyler by
30:39
Speaker 1: a mile, but the politically correct answer will be, oh,
30:43
Speaker 1: it was really close.
30:45
Speaker 2: But you know, well, some people are saying right now,
30:47
Speaker 2: it's Kyler by right which I don't know how much
30:50
Speaker 2: you can believe really anything right now, because what we
30:54
Speaker 2: aren't involved in is the meeting rooms. We don't know
31:00
Speaker 2: if they're being told the same exact thing, or if
31:06
Speaker 2: KOC is trying to work on one thing with Kyler
31:09
Speaker 2: Murray and another thing with JJ McCarthy, and all we
31:15
Speaker 2: see is, you know, those two minute highlights from the
31:18
Speaker 2: vikings on YouTube and the tweets from the reporters that
31:22
Speaker 2: are are there. When media is allowed to be there,
31:27
Speaker 2: there's not a lot of concrete, viable information until Kevin
31:32
Speaker 2: O'Connell comes out and says, yeah, you know, Kyler's our guy,
31:40
Speaker 2: he's QB one or JJ's our guy. Until that happens,
31:45
Speaker 2: we can't All it is is speculation. I'm trying to
31:48
Speaker 2: think of when when the teams put out their first
31:51
Speaker 2: like unofficial depth chart, because it's usually in the preseason,
31:57
Speaker 2: we get a few different versions over the course of
31:59
Speaker 2: a few weeks of a depth chart, and that's that's
32:03
Speaker 2: something that explodes on Twitter and it's like, oh, you
32:05
Speaker 2: know so and so is listed as a starter, and
32:07
Speaker 2: hey this first round rookies, you know a third stringer
32:10
Speaker 2: right now, And there's always that caveat of that first
32:14
Speaker 2: depth chart of like, yeah, this is just where we're
32:16
Speaker 2: at right now in mid July or whenever they end
32:20
Speaker 2: up putting them out. That's something that it's gonna explode
32:24
Speaker 2: vikings Twitter because I bet almost any amount of money
32:29
Speaker 2: QB one on that first depth chart that comes out
32:32
Speaker 2: is gonna be Kyler Murray. And I almost am to
32:36
Speaker 2: the point now that I think it sounds like there's
32:39
Speaker 2: a really good job, good probability that Kyler Murray is
32:44
Speaker 2: gonna be QB one. And again, that's fine with me.
32:46
Speaker 2: I wanted to be JJ just because that feels better,
32:49
Speaker 2: but it's it's probably gonna be Kyler and that's okay.
32:54
Speaker 2: But definitely that first depth chart. Can you imagine if
32:57
Speaker 2: it's JJ McCarthy, that's gonna every facet of vikings. Twitter
33:03
Speaker 2: is going to explode all of the questions to all
33:06
Speaker 2: of the coaches, even on the defensive side, and the
33:09
Speaker 2: media availability is gonna be like, what do you think
33:10
Speaker 2: about JJ? You're like, oh, I'm we're kind of surprised
33:13
Speaker 2: by this, what went into this? And the coach koc
33:15
Speaker 2: is gonna be like, yeah, you know, that's how it
33:18
Speaker 2: ended last year, and he's gonna give like a company
33:20
Speaker 2: line of like, don't worry about it right now. And
33:23
Speaker 2: that's also going to be the case if Kyler Murray's
33:25
Speaker 2: listed there too, but it's that's what we really should
33:29
Speaker 2: be looking for.
33:29
Speaker 1: Well, it'll be ESPN worthy at that point too. Like
33:32
Speaker 1: if if JJ is the announced starter on the first
33:36
Speaker 1: depth chart, I feel like, oh, party foul. He just
33:40
Speaker 1: dropped a wing.
33:41
Speaker 2: Everybody dropped a wing on the desk, on on my mouth,
33:44
Speaker 2: on your mouth, and it was the like saucy, saucy
33:49
Speaker 2: honey barbecue.
33:50
Speaker 1: That was a real saucy one. And we're out of
33:51
Speaker 1: paper towels. You're gonna have to use your napkin. Yeah,
33:53
Speaker 1: that's okay, sorry about that.
33:56
Speaker 2: No, it's it's I can only blame myself it's okay,
34:00
Speaker 2: still edible. Oh yeah, I'm gonna eat it.
34:02
Speaker 1: You need some more dipping sauce.
34:03
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm good right here. I got the one
34:06
Speaker 2: blue cheese.
34:07
Speaker 1: There's plenty more. I'm almost done with my second ranch
34:10
Speaker 1: over here. So but I did that. I need to
34:13
Speaker 1: douse these things in ranch in order to enjoy that.
34:16
Speaker 1: I'm still sweating and crying a little bit. But to
34:21
Speaker 1: your point, I think I think whoever is announced the
34:27
Speaker 1: Day one starter or the preseason starter or that initial
34:32
Speaker 1: depth chart starter, it will be ESPN worthy. I think
34:38
Speaker 1: if it's JJ McCarthy, that'll dominate for like a week.
34:44
Speaker 2: Matter who it is, it'll be explosion.
34:46
Speaker 1: But if that'll be the news for the week, I
34:47
Speaker 1: think it'll be a little quieter. If it's Kyler.
34:50
Speaker 2: Honestly, you're gonna get a lot of you're gonna get. Well,
34:54
Speaker 2: it's gonna be the like Shannon Sharp's or the stephen
34:57
Speaker 2: A's or the ESPN people being like, no, they have
35:00
Speaker 2: to trade JJ. JJ is the worst, and they gotta
35:03
Speaker 2: even if it's a seventh round pick, they gotta get
35:05
Speaker 2: something for him because it's gonna be a toxic locker
35:07
Speaker 2: room and he's gonna throw a fit. ESPN is gonna
35:10
Speaker 2: explode no matter what. But they're gonna be. They're gonna
35:13
Speaker 2: pile on the Vikings and JJ McCarthy so much because
35:18
Speaker 2: to them, they won't ever need to see another snap
35:21
Speaker 2: at practice or see another unofficial depth chart ever again,
35:26
Speaker 2: because the first one the team's gonna put out is
35:29
Speaker 2: gonna say one guy, and that's all that's ever gonna matter,
35:33
Speaker 2: And none of it will matter until Week one of
35:36
Speaker 2: the NFL season.
35:37
Speaker 1: To that point though, like this week has been, Oh,
35:40
Speaker 1: JJ should be traded. JJ should be demanding a trade,
35:43
Speaker 1: you know, like, And that's after just you know, a
35:46
Speaker 1: few anecdotal observations at OTA's which probably don't mean a lot.
35:52
Speaker 1: I'm reading into them. I'm choosing to buy into the drama,
35:54
Speaker 1: but others aren't. And that's okay.
35:57
Speaker 2: But I'm pretty sure we're still in the voluntary portion
36:03
Speaker 2: of the off season right now. Oh yeah, So that
36:07
Speaker 2: alone should tell you none of this really matters. It's
36:10
Speaker 2: about getting in shape, installing some of what they're going
36:15
Speaker 2: to be doing. But we're not even in season mode yet. There,
36:20
Speaker 2: they're still practicing. We're talking about practice here.
36:24
Speaker 1: We're talking about practice. I just saw a picture of
36:28
Speaker 1: Alan Iverson playing the Lakers stepping over Tyron Lou That
36:34
Speaker 1: was like a that was a historic moment, like he
36:37
Speaker 1: stepped over him and it was this big deal back then.
36:41
Speaker 1: Nowadays you see guys step over each other and it's
36:44
Speaker 1: just like whatever is the NBA?
36:47
Speaker 2: But is the NBA still going on right now?
36:49
Speaker 1: Yeah? They're in the finals right now. I believe the
36:53
Speaker 1: Spurs are down two oh m hm to who the Thunder? No? Yeah,
37:01
Speaker 1: the Thunder. No, I don't know. I know the Spurs
37:06
Speaker 1: are down.
37:06
Speaker 2: To we are a football podcast, exactly.
37:10
Speaker 1: I think it's the Thunder, right, No, the Knicks. The Knicks.
37:14
Speaker 2: There you go.
37:15
Speaker 1: It's like, no, those two teams are way too close
37:17
Speaker 1: to each other to both be in the finals. They
37:21
Speaker 1: might have beat the Spurs, might have beat the Thunder
37:24
Speaker 1: to go to the finals. Well, the Spurs beat the
37:26
Speaker 1: Wolves at one point too, So yeah, they're down to
37:29
Speaker 1: Oh all right, the Spurs are the Knicks are up,
37:32
Speaker 1: and I have officially filled up my cup of caring
37:37
Speaker 1: about the NBA for the year. So that was it.
37:40
Speaker 2: Good job, ev Thank you, here.
37:41
Speaker 1: To go, all right, Evan, Well, how we're not talking
37:44
Speaker 1: about that?
37:46
Speaker 2: I don't know. Okay, I think we've hit the point
37:50
Speaker 2: where we have talked as much as we can at
37:53
Speaker 2: this point without any more official news about the quarterback position.
37:57
Speaker 2: You're a Kyler guy, I'm a JJ guy. We can
38:00
Speaker 2: still be friends that. I think people forget that all
38:03
Speaker 2: the time. You know, anytime in life, there are two sides,
38:08
Speaker 2: and people are on either side of that. Apparently we
38:10
Speaker 2: have to hate each other, but we don't. You're a
38:13
Speaker 2: not spicy food guy. I'm a spicy food guy, and
38:16
Speaker 2: apparently not spicy food is spicy for me. But yeah,
38:22
Speaker 2: I did have I had one other, maybe mini segment
38:26
Speaker 2: we could talk about a little bit that I totally
38:29
Speaker 2: thought of without talking to you about first. So we'll
38:33
Speaker 2: see how this goes. Veto just kidding, all right, you
38:37
Speaker 2: have been listening to episode. I'm just kidding, Evan. I
38:41
Speaker 2: think it's been a pretty open secret among Vikings Twitter
38:47
Speaker 2: people that it does sound like, well, it's not a
38:51
Speaker 2: done deal by any means. It sounds like there's a
38:54
Speaker 2: pretty decent chance we're gonna get at least one more
38:57
Speaker 2: year of the hit Man at this point. I'd be
39:01
Speaker 2: surprised if we didn't. And whether that's a full season
39:05
Speaker 2: or ten games or eight games or whatever it looks like.
39:08
Speaker 2: I think we have not seen number twenty two for
39:11
Speaker 2: the last time with the Vikings, and I couldn't be
39:14
Speaker 2: more excited about that. My question for you ev in
39:20
Speaker 2: all of Vikings history, so this is one of those
39:24
Speaker 2: like you knows, we can suspend our disbelief a little
39:29
Speaker 2: bit too. If you could insert any former Viking in
39:36
Speaker 2: their prime onto this team right now, who would it
39:42
Speaker 2: be and why?
39:44
Speaker 1: That's a good question. Who. I want to say. There's
39:53
Speaker 1: a couple of players that come to mind. First. I
39:55
Speaker 1: kind of wish Dante Culpepper, oh, just because I think
40:01
Speaker 1: he would silence the quarterback controversy immediately. He was such
40:05
Speaker 1: a good quarterback even as a rookie. He didn't start,
40:10
Speaker 1: I don't think until his second year if I remember correctly,
40:15
Speaker 1: Maybe he started his rookie year, but he didn't. He
40:17
Speaker 1: wasn't the like full time starter his rookie year. He
40:22
Speaker 1: definitely I think he played his rookie year, but you
40:25
Speaker 1: can look that up. But I think if you inserted
40:28
Speaker 1: him into this lineup today prime Dante Colpepper coming out
40:32
Speaker 1: of college, I think he would end the quarterback conversation immediately,
40:38
Speaker 1: like he's bigger, stronger, faster than Kyler. Maybe not faster,
40:43
Speaker 1: but he's he's just a better overall quarterback than Kyler is.
40:50
Speaker 2: And you're right. His rookie year was ninety nine.
40:55
Speaker 1: He started one game, started one game.
40:57
Speaker 2: Okay, no, he played in one.
40:59
Speaker 1: He played in one, so that, yeah, that's kind of
41:01
Speaker 1: what I remember I was young. But yeah, he'd be
41:06
Speaker 1: one that i'd love to see back. A couple other
41:10
Speaker 1: ones that I would love to see And this is
41:13
Speaker 1: just me spitballing a little bit. John Randall, Matt Burke,
41:18
Speaker 1: Chris Carter, Randy Moss would be amazing to see, Like,
41:23
Speaker 1: pair those two guys with Justin Jefferson, even if they're
41:27
Speaker 1: a little bit older, like Chris Carter was when Randy
41:30
Speaker 1: Moss finally showed up in Minnesota, like Randy was kind
41:33
Speaker 1: of the the veteran you know that showed Randy the way.
41:39
Speaker 1: That would be amazing. Jimmy Kleinsaucer would be amazing. He
41:44
Speaker 1: was just a football guy through and through. Chad Greenway
41:49
Speaker 1: is another one that I would like to see. And
41:51
Speaker 1: then finally, because we really haven't had prowess at the
41:56
Speaker 1: running back position, since Dalvin Cook left. Adrian Peterson. Yeah,
42:02
Speaker 1: that's a no brainer. Like, throw any of those guys
42:05
Speaker 1: on this roster and it's immediately ten to twenty percent
42:09
Speaker 1: better than it was before they were on it. And
42:12
Speaker 1: those all of those guys in their prime.
42:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that was That was the carveyaut of this question.
42:17
Speaker 1: So I want to toss it back to you. Is
42:19
Speaker 1: there anybody that I didn't mention?
42:20
Speaker 2: I mean, I think the right answer is the guy
42:25
Speaker 2: that you named off first, Dante Kulpepper or really any.
42:30
Speaker 1: I'm surprised you say that because I feel like you
42:32
Speaker 1: would have said Adrian Peterson.
42:34
Speaker 2: I mean, yes, the Vikings current running game. You know,
42:39
Speaker 2: it seems like on paper like it would be good,
42:41
Speaker 2: but like actual results for last year wasn't great. It
42:46
Speaker 2: was it was fine last year, you know, between Jordan
42:48
Speaker 2: Mason and Aaron Jones, Like so a generational running back,
42:54
Speaker 2: a lifetime running back, and Adrian Peterson would be awesome anytime,
42:59
Speaker 2: but also like he was with the Vikings for nine
43:03
Speaker 2: to ten seasons and it didn't really help. Like they
43:07
Speaker 2: went to one NFC Championship game and that was it.
43:12
Speaker 1: Yeah.
43:13
Speaker 2: Other than that, it's not like running we say all
43:15
Speaker 2: the time. Quarterback is the most important position in sports.
43:19
Speaker 2: So to have Dante Culpepper in his prime throwing too,
43:24
Speaker 2: justin Jefferson, getting Jordan Addison some some catches. Having a
43:29
Speaker 2: guy it would rejuvenate TJ. Hockinson's career. So Dante Culpepper
43:35
Speaker 2: in his prime. O nine Brett Favre was some of
43:38
Speaker 2: the most fun football I think we ever watched as fans.
43:42
Speaker 2: That would be really fun. Oh nine version of Brett
43:44
Speaker 2: Favre would be really fun on this team right now.
43:47
Speaker 1: But that was like that was also heart attack version
43:49
Speaker 1: of Brett Favrev. Like he was gunslinger to the max.
43:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that was him, Yeah, at all times in
43:56
Speaker 2: his career. He ended up with when he retired, I
43:59
Speaker 2: think he had the NFL record for most touchdown passes
44:02
Speaker 2: and most interceptions. Like it was bang or bust for
44:07
Speaker 2: him and mostly bang. You know, it was mostly good.
44:12
Speaker 2: So that's the right answer. Is a quarterback, probably Dante
44:16
Speaker 2: or Brett, But I don't know. There's some other guys
44:21
Speaker 2: that'd be fun. Can you imagine Percy Harvin on this
44:24
Speaker 2: team right now? Like not the off the field stuff
44:27
Speaker 2: because people say you had a head headaches all the time.
44:29
Speaker 2: I think he was just a headache, like he he
44:32
Speaker 2: just he blamed you know, migraines when he just didn't
44:37
Speaker 2: want to get off the sideline, and you know, when
44:39
Speaker 2: he was pouting about something off the field. But when
44:42
Speaker 2: he was on the field, he was generational. He was insane.
44:47
Speaker 2: You just watch highlights of Percy Harvin kick returns and
44:51
Speaker 2: it's like, truly he had superpowers. You know, he was
44:57
Speaker 2: on a field with other you know, legend players and
45:01
Speaker 2: made everybody else look like children. He amazing to watch.
45:06
Speaker 2: It's something I'll do every once in a while. I'll
45:07
Speaker 2: be scrolling Twitter and somebody will post, like, f it,
45:10
Speaker 2: Percy Harvin highlights. Here you go, and it's like five
45:12
Speaker 2: minutes and I'm just sitting there with my mouth open, like, whoa.
45:16
Speaker 2: Percy Harvin be really fun to watch. Obviously, Adrian Peterson
45:20
Speaker 2: would be great. You get also guys like Steve Hutchinson.
45:25
Speaker 2: We complain about this offensive line. Can you imagine having
45:28
Speaker 2: a Hall of Fame Garden on the team right now?
45:30
Speaker 2: That would be incredible. I'd love it.
45:33
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of That's why I brought up
45:35
Speaker 1: Matt Burke.
45:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Oh, Matt Burke would be incredible for this
45:38
Speaker 2: team right now. There's a lot of great historic vikings
45:43
Speaker 2: the Williams Wall, just both of them, Jared Allen, Jared
45:48
Speaker 2: Allen on the other side of Andrew Van Gingle oh Man,
45:52
Speaker 2: that would be insane. So there's a lot of generational
45:57
Speaker 2: vikings a long time and even one and done vikings
46:00
Speaker 2: that were great fun to watch and would really help
46:03
Speaker 2: this team right now. And hopefully we don't have to
46:06
Speaker 2: add Harrison Smith to that. What if he could join
46:09
Speaker 2: this team right now, it would just be good to
46:12
Speaker 2: have him just come back, give us one more year
46:15
Speaker 2: and then maybe one more after that, but we can't
46:17
Speaker 2: really be picky. Just give us one more I would
46:20
Speaker 2: take one more.
46:20
Speaker 1: Agreed. Two thoughts here unrelated to football at all. We
46:26
Speaker 1: have three wings left, and I feel like I've eaten
46:29
Speaker 1: way more than you Evan.
46:32
Speaker 2: These are really spicy and I can't handle shut up. No,
46:37
Speaker 2: I'm good. I have had my fill. And whether you
46:41
Speaker 2: finish them off right now, we are in your basement,
46:44
Speaker 2: so like you could have them on the fridge.
46:45
Speaker 1: Or no, I might just eat them all. They're too
46:48
Speaker 1: good to leave. Second of all, your beer is getting
46:50
Speaker 1: a little low.
46:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, well you just poured your second one. Okay, so
46:54
Speaker 2: yours was getting low.
46:55
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm trying to help you out here. It's
46:58
Speaker 1: okay if you if things tip over behind you, ye fine,
47:02
Speaker 1: it's good.
47:03
Speaker 2: Nobody will know.
47:05
Speaker 1: All right, Well, at least you're getting another beer. I
47:07
Speaker 1: am getting I'm gonna get another dipping some.
47:09
Speaker 2: There you go, those three wings. Sorry if they're too
47:13
Speaker 2: spicy for you, And I am sorry because I should
47:15
Speaker 2: stop making fun.
47:16
Speaker 1: Of you, because I like I like the food. It's
47:19
Speaker 1: good food.
47:20
Speaker 2: It's just stop, stop, stop stop. I almost pulled an
47:23
Speaker 2: ovan there almost over.
47:24
Speaker 1: From I'm out of uh paper towels over here, So
47:28
Speaker 1: we might need to do a.
47:28
Speaker 2: Little and come back if we need to, all right,
47:33
Speaker 2: ev back to the Vikings. Is there anything at this
47:40
Speaker 2: point you're super happy about with the team, anything that
47:45
Speaker 2: you just know right now, like all right, we might
47:48
Speaker 2: have questions at quarterback. We might, you know, all off
47:51
Speaker 2: season every year until the Vikings win a super Bowl,
47:53
Speaker 2: we're gonna get those like like clockwork, like oh, the
47:57
Speaker 2: Vikings should trade away justin Jefferson. We're gonna get those stories.
48:00
Speaker 2: I've already seen them happen. Is there anything that you're
48:04
Speaker 2: like you know what, no what, This is good and
48:06
Speaker 2: I'm just excited to watch this this season no matter
48:09
Speaker 2: how else anything goes, because I have one. I want
48:12
Speaker 2: to know if you have anything.
48:14
Speaker 1: I have one, hopefully it's not yours that I'm stealing.
48:17
Speaker 1: I'm very happy at this point that nobody has gotten
48:21
Speaker 1: in trouble and that it was a Packer that got
48:26
Speaker 1: arrested instead of a Viking during this quiet season of
48:31
Speaker 1: the NFL offseason.
48:32
Speaker 2: Hope was that yours that was not mine?
48:34
Speaker 1: Okay, perfect, but I agree with you. Jacobs with the
48:38
Speaker 1: Packers got arrested for domestic something or other thing. Yea
48:42
Speaker 1: turn himself in, which I mean I guess good for
48:45
Speaker 1: him for at least doing that. But it seems to
48:50
Speaker 1: be not great. And I don't know what the outcome
48:55
Speaker 1: will be. But hopefully if the NFL has some consistency
48:59
Speaker 1: in them, if Roger Goodell has some sort of equity
49:02
Speaker 1: and fairness in him, he will he will levy out
49:05
Speaker 1: of consequence. For Josh Jacobs that is similar to players
49:10
Speaker 1: that have uh done similar things in the.
49:14
Speaker 2: Past half And let's caveat this, there's a there is
49:17
Speaker 2: a possibility that it's not all that it seems to
49:21
Speaker 2: be that he didn't actually hurt anybody. There's there's always
49:26
Speaker 2: that possibility and if it comes out truthfully he he
49:29
Speaker 2: didn't actually, you know, commit any domestic violence and he
49:33
Speaker 2: he actually is a good dude. Like we're we'll stand
49:36
Speaker 2: behind and we'll say, I'm like, yeah, that's that's fine,
49:39
Speaker 2: That's that's okay. But and even if it's not just
49:42
Speaker 2: said he's a packer, if Josh Jakesop's Jacobs actually did
49:45
Speaker 2: do this, same with what you were just saying, I
49:48
Speaker 2: hope the punishment from the league is fair and just
49:52
Speaker 2: and swift as well as you know, you actually get
49:57
Speaker 2: in trouble for you know, hurting people like I hope legally,
50:01
Speaker 2: you know, anybody who does that gets what they deserve.
50:05
Speaker 2: But yeah, my first hope is that it's not true
50:07
Speaker 2: and that he can move on.
50:10
Speaker 1: The place in which I'm coming at from bringing that
50:13
Speaker 1: up is simply just I'm so glad it's not a
50:15
Speaker 1: Vikings player, and I hope, with fingers crossed, that it's
50:19
Speaker 1: not a Vikings player for the rest of this off season.
50:23
Speaker 1: You know, like we've had our fair share of Jordan
50:25
Speaker 1: Addison incidents at this point. Hopefully he's figured it out
50:29
Speaker 1: hopefully he's just handcuffed to Justin Jefferson, and JJ's like,
50:33
Speaker 1: you're not leaving my house. We're just gonna hang out and.
50:37
Speaker 2: Hang out, study film and run routes and got basses
50:42
Speaker 2: from you know, J J. McCarthy exactly.
50:46
Speaker 1: But even before, Jordan Addison like, I feel like I've
50:50
Speaker 1: seen a stat floating around there that the Vikings have
50:53
Speaker 1: one of the highest arrest rates of players in the league,
50:57
Speaker 1: like of all time. And I think obviously the love
51:00
Speaker 1: boat scandal definitely saturated that statistic a little bit. Oh man,
51:09
Speaker 1: but the Vikings are pretty high list.
51:12
Speaker 2: A quick Google search brought me to a an article
51:18
Speaker 2: on quickcountry dot com superable source from January of twenty
51:24
Speaker 2: twenty five, and they this first sentence says, the Vikings
51:32
Speaker 2: have been a member of the NFL for sixty four years.
51:34
Speaker 2: While they're not on the list of Super Bowl winning teams,
51:37
Speaker 2: they did just come in on the top of this list,
51:40
Speaker 2: and that list being a clickbaity title at all. Yeah,
51:47
Speaker 2: what What's what's the name of the list that they're saying.
51:49
Speaker 2: I think it's most arrests in you know, NFL team history.
51:58
Speaker 2: They're a rest rate. Yeah, yeah, there. They just have
52:00
Speaker 2: sixty arrests as of January twenty twenty five. I don't
52:05
Speaker 2: know how accurate all that is, but you're right of
52:07
Speaker 2: just to prove your point, they in history have been.
52:10
Speaker 1: There's at least the perception out there, whether it's not
52:13
Speaker 1: statistically accurate or not, there is this perception that Vikings
52:18
Speaker 1: players get arrested more than players from other teams. Yeah,
52:22
Speaker 1: and so again all that to say, I'm just happy
52:25
Speaker 1: that we are not in that situation currently as of
52:29
Speaker 1: June seventh.
52:30
Speaker 2: H that's true, and hopefully that doesn't change, but it
52:34
Speaker 2: literally could be changing as we're saying this, Like there
52:36
Speaker 2: could be a Viking being arrested right now. Let's hope not. Yeah,
52:41
Speaker 2: all right. The thing that I'm actually excited for I
52:45
Speaker 2: don't think is going to Sour should be good already
52:50
Speaker 2: this season as of right now. Will rekerd will the Thrill.
52:55
Speaker 2: I think he has only ever been good for the Vikings.
52:59
Speaker 2: I think he's still is perfect as far as extra
53:02
Speaker 2: points go. I think he's darn near perfect when you
53:06
Speaker 2: factor in you know, taking out the misses because of
53:11
Speaker 2: cables and you know, camera wires and stuff like that.
53:17
Speaker 2: He's just really good and for a franchise like the Vikings,
53:20
Speaker 2: who I feel like two things are true for the Vikings.
53:23
Speaker 2: They consistently consistency, my goodness, consistently have had good kickers
53:29
Speaker 2: throughout their franchise. I can name off like at points
53:32
Speaker 2: in my fandom, which is only about half of the time.
53:35
Speaker 2: The Vikings have been a franchise. A handful of kickers
53:39
Speaker 2: that played for the Vikings and were good for the Vikings,
53:42
Speaker 2: Blair Walsh being one of them until he wasn't that
53:45
Speaker 2: one play in the playoffs. Who else? Dan Bailey was
53:50
Speaker 2: good for a few years and then he I think
53:52
Speaker 2: he would just miss an extra point every once in
53:54
Speaker 2: a while. Will Reikerd has only ever been Great's only
54:00
Speaker 2: missed a few kicks, and he's never had any like
54:02
Speaker 2: how did you miss that twenty yard kick?
54:04
Speaker 1: You know?
54:04
Speaker 2: He's his misses have been like all right, not every
54:07
Speaker 2: fifty yard kick is going to go through, you know,
54:10
Speaker 2: Like I don't know if he's ever had a block,
54:13
Speaker 2: and a quick Google search could prove me right or
54:15
Speaker 2: wrong on that. I don't know. But just the fact
54:18
Speaker 2: that since he has been the Vikings kicker, we have
54:22
Speaker 2: not had to sit there with our eyes over our hands,
54:26
Speaker 2: over our eyes, peeking out of the cracks between our fingers.
54:29
Speaker 2: Every time he goes up to kick. It's almost something
54:33
Speaker 2: that's lulling us to sleep now, and it's bound to
54:36
Speaker 2: break our hearts at some point. But Evan, you pulled
54:39
Speaker 2: up his stats. Here, am I right on the extra
54:41
Speaker 2: point thing? I think he's perfect on extra.
54:43
Speaker 1: Let's look here, extra points attempted, extra points made. He's
54:47
Speaker 1: perfect sixty nine of sixty nine on yeah, both seasons.
54:54
Speaker 1: This does not give us anything about blocks that I
54:59
Speaker 1: can find. Okay, and maybe there's some like deep dive,
55:05
Speaker 1: it's it's not find. But he has two tackles in
55:10
Speaker 1: his career, great stand.
55:12
Speaker 2: I mean they might be kickoff returns.
55:14
Speaker 1: Yeah.
55:16
Speaker 2: What is his kicking percentage? It should show pretty easily there.
55:20
Speaker 1: On profile field goal percentage, it's got to be above
55:23
Speaker 1: eighty eighty seven points. Okay, all right, yep, eighty seven
55:28
Speaker 1: point seven So you're correct?
55:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty good. So that's my one thing. No matter
55:34
Speaker 2: what every Vikings fan right now, no matter what you
55:38
Speaker 2: care about the quarterback position, no matter what you think
55:40
Speaker 2: of the coach or the GM or the owners, you
55:43
Speaker 2: can unequivocally say the Vikings have a league leading, really
55:49
Speaker 2: good kicker, and he's still young and we're not in
55:52
Speaker 2: a contract situation yet, but he's on on track to
55:56
Speaker 2: hopefully be getting paid handsomely and Viking for many, many
56:02
Speaker 2: many years into the future. And will Record Will the
56:06
Speaker 2: thrill should make every Vikings fan happy.
56:09
Speaker 1: He's uh, he's currently third all time in Viking's history,
56:14
Speaker 1: and this includes some guys that only played like one
56:17
Speaker 1: or two seasons. So he's third in field goal percentage
56:21
Speaker 1: at eighty seven point seven. Can you guess who's first
56:26
Speaker 1: without looking at my list?
56:28
Speaker 2: So I did look at the lists at YouTube, but
56:32
Speaker 2: I would have never really thought is number two Kai forbath?
56:36
Speaker 1: Yeah?
56:37
Speaker 2: Was he a Viking? Yeah?
56:38
Speaker 1: Wow, that's twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, all right.
56:42
Speaker 2: But number one not to drag it out, that's good
56:44
Speaker 2: old John Parker Romo. Yeah, who had a few games
56:47
Speaker 2: with the Vikings. Like since I think Will Record missed
56:51
Speaker 2: what four or five games this rookie year, John Parker
56:54
Speaker 2: Romo came in and all he did was I think
56:56
Speaker 2: he's single handedly won like Titans game, the Jaguars game
57:01
Speaker 2: or something like that.
57:02
Speaker 1: He only played four games for the Vikings, but I
57:05
Speaker 1: think he missed one field goal. Nice and he but
57:09
Speaker 1: to his discredit, he missed an extra point as well.
57:12
Speaker 1: So he was eighty seven point five percent on extra points.
57:18
Speaker 1: But yeah, kay Forbath would probably be a little bit
57:22
Speaker 1: more stiff competition for the proverbial best kicker in Vikings history,
57:29
Speaker 1: no matter how long their stint. And yeah, it's not
57:33
Speaker 1: that much, just one percent or so in terms of
57:37
Speaker 1: field goal percentage.
57:38
Speaker 2: Ryan Longwell was a Viking for a while. Yeah, former packer,
57:42
Speaker 2: and I don't know if he played for any other teams.
57:44
Speaker 2: Paul Edinger was a short time Viking, but he also
57:47
Speaker 2: played for the Bears at one point. The Vikings have
57:50
Speaker 2: had some names at kicker, but yeah, Edinger is not
57:54
Speaker 2: at all. I think he played like one season, maybe
57:57
Speaker 2: two for the Vikings.
57:58
Speaker 1: Oh he's down the ways a little. Sixteen games yep,
58:01
Speaker 1: one season. Yeah, seventy three percent. Didn't miss an extra
58:06
Speaker 1: point though, but that was back when the extra point
58:08
Speaker 1: was a lot closer two yard line.
58:12
Speaker 2: Awesome.
58:13
Speaker 1: That's a good one though. Like to have that security blanket,
58:17
Speaker 1: so to speak, at the kicking position, that's that's good
58:21
Speaker 1: to know. You just hope that nothing happens between now
58:24
Speaker 1: and I'm knocking on wood here regular season, right, Like,
58:28
Speaker 1: you hope for no fractures, no sprains, no quad pulls, muscles,
58:34
Speaker 1: anything like that. You hope that he just he shows
58:37
Speaker 1: up every day. He knocks them through. Nowadays, as a
58:43
Speaker 1: not just a field goal kicker, but also as a
58:45
Speaker 1: kickoff specialist, you have to be a little bit more
58:48
Speaker 1: strategic with the drop zone and touchbacks and all that. Like,
58:52
Speaker 1: he's got to be able to pinpoint when he knocks
58:55
Speaker 1: the ball off the tee how far it's going, not
58:58
Speaker 1: just can I get it, you know, right between those
59:01
Speaker 1: two uprights. So I think he did a pretty decent
59:04
Speaker 1: job of that. There's no like quantifiable stats that we
59:08
Speaker 1: could probably find to tell us if he's like, oh,
59:10
Speaker 1: he's one of the better kickoff guys. I'd say he's good.
59:15
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say he's amazing. But we're also not looking
59:18
Speaker 1: at that as a stat But I could see, like,
59:21
Speaker 1: especially as that rule continues to be a mainstay in
59:25
Speaker 1: the NFL, I could see it coming down to like, oh, well,
59:28
Speaker 1: the Vikings scored with two minutes left, and they kicked
59:31
Speaker 1: it off and their kicker gave up a touch back
59:34
Speaker 1: which set up the other team to march down the
59:37
Speaker 1: field and win the game versus Oh, he pinned him
59:40
Speaker 1: at the two yard line because he's amazing, and that's
59:46
Speaker 1: that was the game, you know, there was there was
59:48
Speaker 1: nothing else they could do after that. So I don't know.
59:51
Speaker 1: I think the longer that rule stays in place, the
59:54
Speaker 1: more important it will become. But yeah, he's he's a
59:57
Speaker 1: great guy to have on your team right now, and
1:00:00
Speaker 1: I'm excited. Yeah, the season for sure should be good.
1:00:03
Speaker 2: All right, ev we've had the wings which were spicy,
1:00:07
Speaker 2: but not spicy. We've have to be Evan, you're into
1:00:11
Speaker 2: your second one here.
1:00:13
Speaker 1: What are your.
1:00:15
Speaker 2: Overall thoughts of this? Hail Mary pale Ale from Jackson's
1:00:21
Speaker 2: Street Brewing.
1:00:22
Speaker 1: I think it's really good, Like it checks all the
1:00:24
Speaker 1: boxes of an ipa. It's citrusy, it's happy, it's easy drinking.
1:00:30
Speaker 1: It's five percent. It's not a six and a half
1:00:33
Speaker 1: or a seven percent like some of the ones we've had.
1:00:35
Speaker 1: So you said it earlier. You could have a few
1:00:38
Speaker 1: of these every couple hours and be good to go. Yeah,
1:00:42
Speaker 1: and you could drink it all day. It's kind of it.
1:00:45
Speaker 1: Where does this sit on the Lawnmarer scale? That's what
1:00:47
Speaker 1: I want to know.
1:00:48
Speaker 2: It's super high. I mean maybe not as high as like,
1:00:52
Speaker 2: you know, a four percent pills ner, just because the
1:00:56
Speaker 2: flavor is full flavored. So like after a few you
1:01:00
Speaker 2: might be thinking, like, all right, I need to get
1:01:03
Speaker 2: get some water or something, because like the lawn more
1:01:05
Speaker 2: scale is coming in and you're just crushing a ton
1:01:08
Speaker 2: and it's almost like drinking a beer version of water.
1:01:11
Speaker 2: Pretty much, this is pretty high five. It is refreshing,
1:01:17
Speaker 2: but it's still a pale ill. So it's the I
1:01:18
Speaker 2: p a like, maybe you don't want an I p
1:01:21
Speaker 2: A fresh off the lawnmower, So I'd give it. I'd
1:01:24
Speaker 2: give it a solid like eight on the lawnmower scale.
1:01:29
Speaker 2: Maybe I should start giving a one to ten rating
1:01:33
Speaker 2: when I when I talk about the lawnmower scale.
1:01:35
Speaker 1: I think you should. I think that we could make
1:01:36
Speaker 1: that a little bit. Yeah, would be funny. I then
1:01:39
Speaker 1: put up a little graphic and like the lawnmarket scooed
1:01:42
Speaker 1: across the screen. I'll figure that out.
1:01:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's a lot for the producer to have
1:01:47
Speaker 2: to figure out once I make it. Once it's there, true, Yeah,
1:01:51
Speaker 2: this one solid eight on the lawnmower scale. It's darn
1:01:54
Speaker 2: near a ten. As far as just an overall beer,
1:01:58
Speaker 2: I think my thoughts were pretty evan. After the first gulp,
1:02:01
Speaker 2: I loved it, and I've only loved it even more
1:02:04
Speaker 2: ever since. Like I said, I'm I'm sad that this
1:02:10
Speaker 2: was picked up from so far away and not It's
1:02:13
Speaker 2: not like you picked this up from our favorite Devil's
1:02:15
Speaker 2: Glenn hy Ve.
1:02:17
Speaker 1: I wish I could say it.
1:02:18
Speaker 2: Had you picked it up from there, I probably would
1:02:19
Speaker 2: have been stopping there on my way home and getting
1:02:21
Speaker 2: one or two more four packs because this beer is delicious.
1:02:25
Speaker 2: I love this, This is right up there. And maybe
1:02:28
Speaker 2: it's just me being a simple guy, but no. Solid
1:02:31
Speaker 2: If you like hazy I p as, you know, citrusy
1:02:35
Speaker 2: pale als, and you don't mind it being only five
1:02:38
Speaker 2: percent because some of those are upwards of seven percent, Yeah,
1:02:43
Speaker 2: go give it a shot, give it a try. It's delicious.
1:02:46
Speaker 1: I like it a lot. You know, it came to
1:02:48
Speaker 1: mind when you said, you know, I'm just a simple guy.
1:02:51
Speaker 1: It's the chill guy. Do you know the chill guy?
