"Not Lost Anymore" episode 193 · DMV Mess Hall

0:00
This is Will Montgomery, former Washington Redskins center.
0:04
Y'all what's good, folks? This is Trey Johnson, the
0:07
headbanger, y'all, and you're listening to Mess Hall with
0:09
Rally Captain and Tailgate Ted Word.
0:13
What's going on? Rally You ready to make that
0:16
trip up to Minnesota? Not only am I ready, I've got my
0:20
coat, I've got my hat, I've got my gloves, I've got everything I
0:24
need. The only thing that I don't have
0:27
is a victory on Sunday just yet, or victory stake.
0:31
It's coming, I feel it. I am looking at the weather
0:35
right now that you bring it up and it is 15° in Minnesota.
0:40
It is. Supposed indoor stadiums.
0:42
It's supposed to be 8° on Sunday.
0:47
I mean, damn, man, it's hats off to everyone going out there.
0:52
I actually got a couple text messages from some people and a
0:54
couple people messaged in that WhatsApp group.
0:56
I was talking about what's going on in Minnesota, Where's the
0:59
rally going to be? And for those wondering, rally
1:03
has a rally for every game regardless, even if it's the
1:07
Philly game, even if it's the New York game.
1:10
And people go up, you know, head up there the day before because
1:14
he's putting a rally on and you say I put you on the spot.
1:17
Billy may not happen just because of the locations.
1:21
Don't want to agree? Really.
1:24
Still trying to work on it. I'm honestly not surprised that
1:27
you and I talked about it offline, how no one wanted to
1:30
work with us because of the bar that did it with the Redskins
1:33
back in the day. Got blackballed from everyone in
1:37
Philly. But do you have the details for
1:40
the Minnesota rally? I know it's at the rabbit hole
1:44
as far as the address is concerned, I don't know, but
1:46
that's what Google's for the rabbit hole.
1:48
There's only one rabbit hole in Minnesota, so make sure that you
1:52
Google rabbit hole and show up on time because we're going to
1:55
have a good time. So it's 411 and N Washington
2:00
Ave. Minneapolis, MN from 5:00 to
2:03
7:00. You got giveaways, You got a
2:06
chance to win a son football special guest appearances.
2:10
My man DJ Chuck B is going to be there.
2:12
I am. Jealous.
2:14
I would deal with 8° weather to listen to Chuck.
2:17
I saw Chuck at Harvest Feast coming through, he was helping
2:20
some people out grab some turkeys and I didn't get a
2:23
chance to talk to him because I was so busy working.
2:25
But that's the one thing I miss is hearing Chuck spin man.
2:31
Oh yeah, Chuck. He's my boy.
2:32
He's my real DJ. And he actually pulled a rabbit
2:35
out of the hat, no pun intended, for rabbit hole.
2:38
But initially he wasn't going to go.
2:40
And then something came about to where he was able to go.
2:44
And so he says, hey, man, I'm your DJ.
2:48
I, I had actually hired someone else and I had to kick that guy
2:52
to the curb. But it's all good because now
2:54
we're going to have DC and Minnesota and I can't wait.
2:58
So have you checked out the rabbit holes Instagram?
3:01
Because I'm looking at this thing and it's 2 Bunny ears and
3:04
when I think of Bunny ears I think of.
3:06
Something No, no, we're not going.
3:09
We're not going to libre bar Libre.
3:12
We're not. We're not doing this.
3:13
Not the same vibe to you. All right, Don't do that to me.
3:16
I'm just making sure man, they. Playboy bunnies brother all.
3:19
Right, all right, because you know, it's it just, it makes you
3:22
wonder, right? You sit here and you know, you
3:24
see the logo that's on the flyer, but for those of you
3:27
going out, make sure if you stop and check out rally, they're
3:30
going to have heat. You're going to need that when
3:32
you're out there. So 5:00 to 7:00 on the 6th and
3:36
it'll be a good time, man. Believe it or not, the Vikings
3:39
are actually favored. So the commanders are getting
3:42
points for this game. The spread is plus 1 1/2 to
3:45
Washington. So if you think we're going to
3:47
win, shoot, just pick us on the money line.
3:50
You get some plus money on that thing.
3:51
And I'm I'm not advising gambling.
3:55
Be over going to win bro spoiler.
3:56
Alert man, you're supposed to say that till the end, but.
3:58
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
4:00
I I I I'm feeling good. I'm like Mr. TI feel good, you
4:03
know? James Brown.
4:04
I feel good. Let's go.
4:06
I'm right there worthy man I I think we are too.
4:08
But before we jump into it. So a couple of things have
4:11
happened since the last show 1 The commanders were on hard
4:15
knock, Hard Knocks last night. Did you watch it?
4:17
I have not had a time to chance to watch it, but my plan is to
4:21
somehow or another between packing and and and that's the
4:25
event stuff getting it taken care of.
4:28
Because you're leaving Sure what in the next day?
4:30
Or tomorrow. Why are you getting to Minnesota
4:34
early? You just want to be in the cold
4:35
that much. I had AI had a free night.
4:37
So you know what they they gave me a free night.
4:39
So you know, you got to get get take it when you get it.
4:42
Plus airfare was a lot cheaper leaving Thursday than Friday.
4:47
So I'm all about, I'm all about saving buck a buck man.
4:51
Yeah, this, it's killing me on Christmas, man.
4:53
I think I might have told you I'm not going to be able to
4:54
spend Christmas with the family because airfare on the 26th and
4:58
27th is almost three times the price of flying out on
5:01
Christmas. And since we play at 1:00,
5:05
that's the only flight out to where I got to go is at 1:00.
5:08
So I'm just not going to make it so I can appreciate leaving a
5:11
couple days earlier, even though it's going to be in the freezing
5:15
cold and I just. I I'm gonna get Jackson.
5:19
Hatter for bro come. On man I need way more than
5:22
jackets and hats. Man I need like some Vaseline to
5:25
cover myself in. And some How long do you plan on
5:29
being outside? Come on, I'm gonna.
5:31
Walk around man, it's not like Vegas.
5:33
Everything connected. Who's walking around?
5:36
Just gonna send your hotel room. I'm going to get in the rental
5:39
car and walk from the from the the most I'll be outside is from
5:44
the hotel to the rental car and the rental car into where I'm
5:48
walking into. I can deal with it.
5:50
I'm not so sightseeing downtown Minneapolis with my camera or
5:56
something like that. Come on man.
5:57
All right. When you're standing outside
5:58
with your flag, I want you to count how long you're standing
6:01
outside with that flag and then let me give me some feedback on
6:03
how long you are out there in 8° weather.
6:06
Oh, I'll fake it till I make it, brother, don't, don't do that to
6:08
me. Now I maybe keep cold inside,
6:12
but I'll be, I'll be warm on the outside.
6:14
I let everybody think that I'm not cold like Eddie Murphy's
6:17
saying, like Eddie Murphy's saying trade places.
6:19
I'm a karate man, karate man. So show his weakness.
6:23
Yeah, I normally don't buy anything inside the stadium to
6:27
eat. I did get 2 hot chocolates, one
6:29
to drink and one to hold on to during this passage.
6:33
OK, let me ask you. Let me ask you this was the hot
6:36
chocolate Really hot? It actually was, yeah, because
6:38
it was really Porter that came around.
6:40
So that thing. Was some hot?
6:41
OK, Because when I've had it before, it's been warm
6:43
chocolate, not hot chocolate. So I just decided that I
6:47
wouldn't get get it because it wasn't really hot.
6:51
But you say that it's hot. I'll say, all right, Tailgate
6:54
Ted. Ted, it is hot chocolate.
6:56
And he said that if it's not hot, then I'll get a refund from
6:59
him. So I'm looking forward to that.
7:01
Well, since you're going to have some free time on your hand
7:03
sitting inside watching Hard Knocks, let me tell you what you
7:06
missed. OK.
7:08
Them basically hyping up the Cowboys and the Cowboys being
7:12
America's team and Philadelphia imploding.
7:16
So Fast forward through all the Cowboy stuff and watch all the
7:19
Eagles. What was me losing to the Bears
7:22
and losing to whoever else and. Oh, that's right, that was this
7:25
week, OK. Yeah, we were.
7:26
Maybe what, 10 minutes of the show?
7:30
Not even. It was kind of a bummer because
7:33
when I was at Harvest Feast, HBO rolled up and they had an army,
7:39
right? They could have been out there
7:41
and probably taking on the Wizards, just all of them with
7:44
like a full roster. But none of that footage
7:47
actually made Hard Knocks. So I can't imagine how much
7:51
stuff they cut out considering they've had crews on site for a
7:55
week and some change and they only showed such small snippets
7:59
of our team. And I get it right.
8:01
We're not we're not a cluster. Affleck, the Giants with Jackson
8:05
Dart doesn't know which way the ocean is or why it's windy in
8:09
New York. He had no idea that there was an
8:11
ocean close to New York or close to New Jersey.
8:14
Like I just I, I for his sake, I kind of hope that they would
8:19
have cut that out. So I'm glad they cut out our
8:21
harvest fee stuff to put in how kind of a, you know, not exactly
8:25
the most smart that kid is. But I think they might need to
8:28
check him on the concussion protocol again.
8:31
I mean, he's just coming off the protocol, so.
8:33
Yeah, just put him back in it if he doesn't know that there's an
8:36
ocean, OK. Yeah, maybe Google Maps.
8:39
Someone should tell him where that is.
8:41
But one thing that did come out and this is it actually capped
8:44
me up today, it was Grant and Danny were talking and Grant has
8:48
a buddy, I guess that might have had DQ coach the Falcons and
8:53
they called him or his buddy called him Sergeant slogan
8:58
because DQ comes up with all these different slogans kind of
9:02
like a hard ass with, you know, good people and anybody anytime,
9:08
anywhere. Well, he came out with a doozy
9:11
last night and Ben standing actually put it out on his
9:15
Twitter. So let me know what you think
9:17
about this speech he gave after the post game.
9:20
I would say, man, like we also recaptured like the fucking
9:24
competitive dog, all right, so like I want you to understand
9:27
that's a big fucking deal about who we are and what we stand for
9:30
and that so like it doesn't change the result.
9:32
Trust me, all right, we lost, but we're not lost anymore.
9:35
You know what I'm saying about that?
9:38
Sometimes you get your fucking heart broken.
9:39
You still, you got to lay it all out there, all right?
9:41
This thing's tonight for sure, but we lost, but we are not lost
9:45
anymore. We lost, but we're not lost
9:48
anymore, right? And I just, I'm getting
9:51
goosebumps just hearing it again for maybe the 10th time.
9:56
But most teams that have gone on this kind of a, a losing streak,
10:01
you see finger pointing, you hear stories about so and so,
10:05
hating each other and all the just animosity in the locker
10:09
room. None of that has come out about
10:12
this commander's team. And I honestly think it's
10:14
because of DQ. I have to agree with you on
10:18
that. And we lost, but we're not lost.
10:25
I like that because a lot of times when a team is falling
10:31
behind or has a record that we have, people want to go ahead
10:36
and abandoned ship. They they they're looking at
10:39
planning their vacation. Their mind is anywhere else but
10:42
football. We've seen it.
10:44
We've we've been a part of it for the longest time.
10:47
So even though that the record may reflect the old air, if you
10:51
will, it's the horizon's bright and and I see it in because of
10:57
how they play these lads, even though people say my, the Miami
11:00
game in Madrid, you know, wasn't one of the best games we went to
11:04
overtime, whatever, we saw flashes and then we saw those
11:08
same flashes again against Denver.
11:10
So I understand what he's saying.
11:13
And and that's why I'm saying I'm going into this week with my
11:16
shoulders high and my head up because I honestly feel we're
11:22
going to beat the Vikings in Minnesota.
11:25
Yeah, we talked about on the last pod.
11:27
I, I wasn't upset after we lost that game.
11:29
I was just trying to think of why.
11:31
And it's just because even though we're 3:00 and 9:00 right
11:34
now, I do feel that we're headed on the right track, if that
11:38
makes any sense. We're getting guys back this
11:42
week, right? We got Terry back last week,
11:45
right? And DQ is actually coaching his
11:48
defense and they are doing what they need to do to make stops,
11:52
right? The offensive line had its best
11:54
performance against the top defense in the league, right?
11:58
And if Josh Connolly, right, had an amazing game other than that
12:03
one holding penalty and he's played every single snap.
12:06
Like there are things that are starting to fall into place and
12:09
last year, everything bounced our way.
12:12
Every single baller could have bounced our way did.
12:14
This year, things are bouncing the other way.
12:17
So it's just a matter of a little bit of bad luck on top of
12:21
the injuries. But I still feel that we're on
12:26
the right track where we've gone through this before.
12:28
You talked about it, people booking vacations.
12:31
I don't remember how many times I saw Josh Norman making a
12:33
business decision and not diving in there and sacrificing
12:37
himself, Right? You see guys going ahead 1st and
12:41
not caring and doing what they need to do for their brothers.
12:44
And if you guys get a chance to watch Hard Knocks, this scene
12:47
right there, it's in the locker room and DQS talking to the guys
12:51
and it was just surreal. And I've never watched Hard
12:54
Knocks before because we've never been on it.
12:56
And I don't pay for HBO, but they had a Black Friday deal so
12:59
I signed up for the year for just a couple dollars.
13:02
So that's believe every Tuesday at 9:00 your boys going to be
13:06
sitting there. Just appointment TV getting
13:08
ready to watch this thing. It was awesome.
13:10
Hey man, I, I, I love it. I love it for you man.
13:15
I was also hoping I was going to be on it considering how many
13:18
cameras I had at Harvest Feast. The truth comes out now.
13:21
OK, we see. A little bit of HBO time.
13:24
I've been on a lot of channels, not HBO, but you know, maybe,
13:28
maybe there's still some more to come since it's going to be here
13:30
for the rest of the season, kind of following us.
13:33
But. The other thing that happened
13:36
was we got a lot of feedback on kind of the clip that we made
13:41
talking about the season tickets and.
13:44
Rightfully so. Yeah, we've we've made a couple
13:46
of different clips that have gone kind of crazy and I've
13:49
gotten back to ownership. All right, And this is one I'm
13:52
going to ask you guys for a favor for, right?
13:55
A lot of fans did not know what was going on with the season
13:57
ticket prices and this and that. Well, that's out now, right?
14:00
We let the cat out the bag or the rabbit out of the hole, if
14:04
you will, from wherever the hell rally's going to go hang out
14:05
this weekend. But what a lot of people don't
14:09
know is I I contacted some other fan bases and there is
14:13
precedence for this. Their fans, the Cardinals lost a
14:17
home game because it went international.
14:20
They only had nine. Guess what Cardinals ownership
14:23
did? I have a feeling that in some
14:29
shape, form of fashion, whether it was lowering concessions or
14:37
they, they gave you something back for losing that game.
14:39
I, I, I, you know, I don't, I don't know, maybe maybe they
14:42
gave you something off later in the year or something.
14:48
I don't know what what they do. They got a credit for the game
14:52
that they missed on the next season's invoice or they got
14:56
money back depending on what they wanted to do.
14:59
Right, OK. The Indianapolis Colts, same
15:02
thing this year, in 2025, they lost the game.
15:07
They actually got credit for that game as well, right?
15:11
The Buffalo Bills, my buddy, Captain Buffalo, they were
15:14
charged for one less game, right?
15:17
So they actually had a home game, moved to London, They
15:21
didn't get charged for that game.
15:24
So other franchises have addressed this in different ways
15:29
than what the Commanders. Would do, right?
15:31
The Chargers just basically said suck it up, you're paying it or
15:37
just not getting tickets. And I don't want to say that
15:39
that's what our team is doing. But what I'm going to say is
15:43
guys reach out to your reps, reach out to them and say, hey,
15:49
can you guys give us a credit on next season's invoice?
15:54
Can you do something to make this right?
15:56
Because we are not getting the full 10 games, we're only
16:00
getting 9. And other franchises have done
16:03
this more recently, the Colts and use that as an example, let
16:08
them know that it's just it's not OK.
16:10
And my buddy Matt that I went to high school with, he actually I
16:13
know a bunch of people they called their ticket reps and
16:16
Matt specifically because he posted it on the Instagram, said
16:19
that he felt that this was Snyder esque, right?
16:22
And kind of a blemish on the new ownership group and?
16:25
Yeah, I hate that. I agree with you.
16:27
I I just I don't think that there was any ill will meant
16:30
towards it. I do feel that they were put in
16:34
a rock and a hard place because the NFL just dumped the fact
16:38
that, hey, you guys are going back overseas again.
16:41
We saw how well your fans traveled to Spain and you
16:43
weren't even the home team. So let's get your butts back out
16:47
there again. And the team already had the
16:50
plan to raise prices. Well, you know what?
16:54
Call an audible, right? I don't know how many times I
16:56
saw Mariota called audible last week or how many times Jaden
17:00
call that audible in preseason and threw that go pass for
17:04
freaking touchdown. Right call that audible and.
17:07
Back in your control. Definitely and give us a credit
17:12
for the next season, right? Do something to make this right
17:15
because raising it that much and losing a game, it's just it's
17:20
not cool and it's not going over well with the fan base.
17:22
It it hurts. So here's a question, Ted, would
17:24
you take the cash now or would you do the credit later
17:28
hypothetically? I would do the credit later
17:30
because I'm not going anywhere. But realistically I cannot see
17:33
them giving anybody any money back because I, and I don't know
17:38
if any of this is a fact, but they revenue share with all the
17:41
other owners. I have to believe that they have
17:44
to submit something to the rest of the NFL when they're raising
17:48
season ticket prices and how much are contributing into that
17:51
pot and this and that. So I feel that there's got to be
17:53
so many things behind the scenes that have to happen to get some
17:57
type of money back. But if someone can get a credit
18:01
for the next season's invoice when we have 8 games that
18:04
season, I'm talking the 2026 season, then hey, that's
18:08
something that's better than nothing.
18:10
So reach out to the. Reps definitely like Ted said,
18:14
reach out to your reps because it shows we know they listen.
18:18
And I'm sure if they hadn't thought about it, they're
18:21
definitely thinking about it now, scratching their head,
18:23
figuring out why didn't we come up with this?
18:26
Why do we think about this sooner?
18:27
Because once again, you know, we, we understand that ticket
18:31
prices are going to go up, but why not wait till January after
18:35
Christmas, let us get our Christmas gifts and all that
18:38
type of stuff. I mean, we just came from a,
18:41
from a freaking not a recession, but.
18:44
Shut down. Shut down and a lot of people
18:46
didn't have money so it would have been easier to push it back
18:50
a little bit later and versus just throwing our face now.
18:54
And here's the other thing that we talked about behind door #2
19:00
that new stadium and the PS LS. You got to give us more time to
19:04
pay for for those that are going to be able to try to pay for it.
19:07
You have to give us more time. We know that that the sands of
19:11
the hourglass, they're, they are ticking down, but the money
19:15
isn't. So give us more time to pay,
19:19
please. Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm terrified at
19:22
what that's going to be. And there are some Reddit
19:25
threads out there and I'm not much like the art monk thing.
19:28
I'm not going to believe anything until it's official,
19:31
right. So you got fans that are talking
19:33
and whispering and people that have been a part of different
19:35
groups and this and that. Until it is official, when it
19:38
comes out from the team and we see something, I'm not going to
19:41
believe anything about what it's going to cost us in the new
19:44
stadium. All I know is it's not going to
19:46
be cheap. And if we're going to continue
19:48
to go, we got to figure out a way to do it.
19:50
And I'm trying to set aside money now to focus on that and
19:54
figure that out. And I, I pray, God willing, I'm
19:58
going to get a chance to still be there.
19:59
Whether it's in a different section, then so be it.
20:02
I mean, I do know that there's some fans from the post that we
20:06
put up. That are getting rid of the
20:08
tickets for next year. And I hate to see people do
20:11
that, but I, I completely understand it.
20:13
I, you just talked about the shutdown.
20:16
The government employees got back pay contractors, which
20:20
there are a lot of in our area, they didn't get back pay.
20:23
A lot of them did not get anything because they were a
20:25
contractor, not an actual Guvi. And I just, I feel for them,
20:29
right? And I, I understand and I will
20:30
never judge anybody that says, hey, I just can't afford to do
20:32
anymore. Yeah, it's sad, but we
20:36
understand. I mean, what do you say?
20:38
Life is lifing, if you will. So thank goodness that I am able
20:44
to to be able to do the things that I'm able to do.
20:48
Is was like you, you know, but there are a lot of people who
20:51
aren't. So we haven't forgotten about
20:54
you. So.
20:55
Definitely not. Definitely not.
20:57
And I mean on our Giving Tuesday, one of our tailgate
21:01
regulars actually reached out. His company was doing a 200%
21:04
match, so I sent him some funds from the tailgate and it was
21:10
$500, which got to $1000 and then his company matched another
21:16
$1000 on top of that. So because of a $500 donation,
21:19
we had actually ended up getting the food bank 2 grand, right?
21:22
And just little things like that to kind of gain the system and
21:26
help other people out. Which was also another reason
21:29
why I was kind of bummed that they didn't show that part,
21:31
because I thought it's awesome that the Commanders have been
21:34
doing harvest fees for so long. And I'm sure other franchises do
21:38
similar stuff. But to not just having entire
21:41
thing be about football would have been kind of cool to me to
21:43
show how they're actually giving back and helping out our
21:45
community. Well, Speaking of giving back,
21:48
some lucky listener is going to be able to get the Madrid
21:53
T-shirt that I have. It's a 2X.
21:56
So some lucky listener, if you're a 2X, we got to figure
22:00
out a way that we can get that to one of our listeners, that
22:05
T-shirt. I'll definitely figure that out.
22:07
That's not a problem. Reach out to us, let us know.
22:10
Maybe we'll put you guys in a pool or whoever leaves a review
22:13
on the show and screenshots that and sends that over.
22:16
These shirts are badass. Send me a picture of it and I'll
22:19
put it in the YouTube so people can kind of see it when they go
22:21
there. Because I know a couple of
22:22
people complaining. They just, they didn't get a
22:23
chance to get any merch from the stores.
22:25
And I went to the Madrid store, the Real Madrid store the day
22:28
after and it was closed down because they're getting rid of
22:31
everything. And I remember in London they
22:34
had everything after the fact discounted big time.
22:38
I guess Spain just wanted us out of their stadium so we didn't
22:41
get a chance to buy. Anything they had a melt of us,
22:44
they had a melt of us. Damn Americans drank all our
22:46
beer and ate all our food. Get out of here.
22:49
That when we didn't have enough tickets for them.
22:51
But figure that out. But any I digress, I'm going to
22:54
leave that alone. So this week, I think the one
22:59
big question is, is Jaden going to play?
23:02
And we talked about it. You want to see him back out
23:05
there? I want to see him back out
23:06
there. This is actually DQ talking
23:08
about what his status is. Do you have any update on Jayden
23:12
Daniels? Has it been cleared for contact?
23:14
What's your optimism then? Hopefully this weekend?
23:16
Optimistic is going to get a lot of reps for practice.
23:18
I'm going to take it all the way through Friday.
23:20
They're still like functional evaluations to go through, but
23:24
game plan and practicing and that part is good.
23:27
You'll see like on the side, it's a little more challenging
23:31
to work at quarterback when you're not doing the same
23:34
contact. So we'll have to simulate as
23:35
much as we can. But he's off to a good start.
23:40
But we'll go all the way through Friday for sure.
23:41
But he'll get a lot of reps of practice.
23:44
The medical staff clearing for contact.
23:48
He has not been cleared for contact.
23:49
That would be a game, you know one.
23:52
But they'll also wait for the whole week too.
23:54
They have more testing and movements to examine.
23:57
So that's where we're. At Batman, do you think he's
24:03
going to play? I can only go by what Mama Five
24:08
said, Mama Five said he's playing, so you know I'm Until
24:15
she makes a mistake or says something wrong, you got to go
24:22
with Mama 5. So I typically try and wait for
24:26
the weekend to put in my bets so you can get all the boost and
24:29
everything else. I think we're getting points
24:32
because Mariota's playing. Think the second Friday happens
24:37
and DQ comes out and says it's going to be Jaden, then we're
24:40
going to be the favorites and Minnesota's going to start
24:43
getting points. So I I do think he's going to
24:45
play. Seeing all the videos of all the
24:47
beat reporters out there at practice.
24:49
I mean, he's running around. He doesn't have pads on and he's
24:52
obviously just throwing. He doesn't have anyone in his
24:54
face, but he's looking good. He's not wearing a brace, which
24:58
I think is kind of big piece of it.
25:00
So fingers crossed he's out there.
25:04
You already spoiled it. I do think we're going to win
25:06
this weekend. I do think it's going to be a
25:08
good game. I just Minnesota does not scare
25:12
me as to what they are now. And our defense has actually
25:15
started to play a lot better. And same with the offensive
25:17
line. And we've got Terry back.
25:20
So if Jaden's out there, even without Jaden, I still think
25:23
we've got enough weapons and enough pieces to make sure you
25:27
get that victory stake. And I've got 2V stakes sitting
25:30
in my fridge that I bought this past week that I'm going to
25:32
finally be able to throw on the grill too.
25:35
I love it. I love it.
25:37
Yeah, man. I I'm Ruth.
25:38
Chris here I come. Give me my tomahawk.
25:42
I need it. I love it.
25:44
I haven't. I haven't had.
25:45
I haven't had the wagons good too.
25:48
I I have not had the opportunity to really indulge in a victory
25:53
state because I've been so busy. Or when we did win, they were at
25:59
most in even games and I couldn't get to a restaurant to
26:02
do it. So.
26:03
Hey, here we come. I'm coming.
26:06
My fingers are crossed it's going to happen.
26:08
The captain is in route to cold, frigid Minnesota.
26:12
But we going to make it do what it do.
26:13
Ted, you're. Going to have to take some
26:15
pictures for me. Let me know how it is.
26:17
Let me know how the tailgating scene is out there.
26:19
If you're walking around the stadium.
26:20
We're just. Going to I won't be doing that.
26:22
Come on brother, it's too cold for that.
26:24
And that's why I don't want to go because if I go, I'm going to
26:27
be the guy standing outside finding the Vikings tailgates.
26:31
You know, the, the big guy that dresses up in a Vikings outfit
26:37
that 100% cheese free. He's he's a friend of mine.
26:41
So I'd always, you know, invited to the tailgate.
26:43
He does that, that the guy that would jump into Randy, Randy
26:45
Moss would jump into his arms in the end zone.
26:48
So he's actually from Canada. Amazing.
26:50
Dude goes to all the Vikings games.
26:52
And it's just if I were to go to the game, which I'm bummed I'm
26:54
not going to, I would be there in 8° freezing.
26:58
I'll tell you what, I'm sure that I will hang out for a split
27:03
second because the train, we're catching a train from the hotel.
27:08
Luckily our hotel has a train stop right there.
27:11
So we'll walk out of the hotel, go get on the train, and the
27:14
train drops you right off in front of the stadium.
27:16
I mean, literally right there on the doorsteps.
27:19
So I'll find a tailgate. I'm sure I will because I know
27:23
me, I'm going to want to dance around.
27:25
I this. OK, here's the other thing.
27:28
I couldn't be rally captain in Madrid.
27:30
I just couldn't because of yeah, and the, and the ticket fiasco.
27:35
But this game I'll be able to be rally captain and let loose at
27:40
an away game the way I normally would be.
27:43
So I'm looking forward to it. So I may just go ahead and put
27:46
another layer on, if you will, and hang out there and, and get
27:50
me some northern Pike or some, what do you call it?
27:53
Muskie or yeah, Muskie. I think they they that's the
27:56
fish out there in Minnesota. So definitely I'm going to
28:00
handle my business and have a good time.
28:03
Oh, take some pictures, man. I actually I'm about to get a
28:05
pair of those those Ray Ban meta glasses.
28:08
I just got a prescription, so I actually need eyeglasses the
28:11
first time ever. So I wanted to get those Ray Ban
28:13
glasses. I'm thinking you need a pair of
28:15
these man. So when you're out here.
28:18
I've got a pair, I've got a repair, I've got a pair of
28:21
Oakleys. I do.
28:23
The ones with the cameras in them.
28:24
Yeah. How come I don't see you rocking
28:27
those? Any games and just taking
28:28
pictures or videos when you're running?
28:29
Around I, I do it all the time. I have them all the time.
28:32
But here's the thing, the batter life isn't that good on those
28:34
things. They really are.
28:35
I mean, you might get maybe, I don't know, 10 good recordings,
28:40
if you will, and then you got to put them back in the case in
28:43
charge. But the second Gen. though, so I
28:45
think it's a little bit better for that.
28:47
Yeah, I mean, it's still not that good.
28:49
It really isn't. I mean, I have the Oakley that
28:51
just came out so. But yeah, I, I post videos, I
28:56
you know, you'll see it. I thought that was with your
28:59
like shoulder Cam. I know that was with the the ray
29:01
ban ones you had. I mean literally, but I just got
29:04
them, I don't know, before this season, when they came, when
29:07
they first came out, the Oakleys.
29:09
I'll have to bug you about those later on because I I got to go
29:12
to the eye doctor later on today and go get my prescription
29:15
everything else finalized. But regardless, have a good time
29:18
up there man represent like I know you will do your rally
29:21
captain thing. I I do partially blame the
29:25
Spaniards for sabotaging us up in Madrid, but I don't think
29:29
you'll have any problems up there in Minnesota other than.
29:32
Well, I can tell you this, the tickets have already been
29:34
distributed so. You're already ahead of the
29:39
game, man. Yeah, man, that's that's oh,
29:42
boy. See, you can transfer tickets in
29:44
the United States no problem. Same.
29:47
Yeah. Anyway, I hear the music playing
29:50
in the background. Well, it lets me know that that
29:52
it's not a victory Monday, it's a victory Wednesday, because
29:56
Thursday the captain's in route to Minnesota to Rep it hard or
30:01
not Rep it at all. And I don't believe in not Rep
30:03
it at all. So I'm going to see you guys at
30:06
the rally dead. I will have a drink for you, I
30:09
will have a cigar for you, and I will have a victory steak.
30:14
I'm claiming it. I have a victory steak for you.
30:16
So you guys RIP it harder. Don't RIP it all.
30:18
Tailgate tail. Rally captain.
30:20
We'll see you on Monday. Peace.
