  Speaker 3: be in denial for that one. So well, we don't
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: have to be in denial about beer. Yeah, we brought
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: us so tell us about it.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so for reasons we'll get into a little bit later.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, I guess we don't have to keep it
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: a secret. We're going to be brewing a beer if
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: you're watching, and I think he's already made a little
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: bit of noise here in the last minute or two.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: But if you're watching, you can see we are graced
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: yet again by front of the show.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Forest. Thanks for coming back.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: On for I appreciates Yeah, anytime. I mean, you'd be
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: welcome anytime you want, but specifically times that you come on.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: You're a Bears fan, which we yeah, it's okay, Well,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: we'll let you get by with it. You're wearing the
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Michigan sweatshirt. You're much more of a wolverine span. But
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: the other main occasion, one of the other two main
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: occasions is beer. You are a beer aficionado. Is that
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: the right, right? I don't put I have no certifications
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: or anything like this, but and you won't say this,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: but I absolutely will, because it's true. You are an
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: extremely talented amateur beer brewer. I don't think I've ever
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: had a single bad beer of yours that you've brewed,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: and I've had quite a few beers that you've brewed.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Some are definitely way better than others, but none of
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: them have ever been bad. So in my eyes, you
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: are extremely talented. You should be a professional brewer at
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: some point. They've been all, i'd say, drinkable.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Whatever.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: You've had some that oh my goodness, Yeah, there's been
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: there's been a few. Yeah, they've been amazing. But yeah,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: we will be brewing the second edition of the skull
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Hot Beer. I don't know what we'll end up calling it,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: but that's coming up here next episode. I think, depending
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: on how we record these things. We're recording an episode
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: now in the next few days, we will be having
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: a brew day, and then we'll be recording another episode
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: in a week, so potentially three straight episodes, depending again,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: how we release all this content. Before us, you'll be
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: with us the whole way because you are the mastermind
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: of brewing beer, and we'll talk specifically about the kind
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: of beer that we'll be brewing. But we have the
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: beer tonight is great Revivalists brewing out of Clinton, Iowa.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: We've got their back roads brown ale, and the beer
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: that we will be brewing is along the same lines
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: as a brown ale. So that's why we went with
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: this one. But I haven't had this one before, have
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: either of you?
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Nor?
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and uh, I don't even know if I've seen
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: this can before. It's really colorful artwork, looks like a
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: very typical Iowan can. Uh, and back roads is kind
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: of a typical Iowa thing.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: So they're veryful. I can tell you that what was it? Recently?
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Didn't we have another one that was really full?
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: We did, and we made a little bit of a mess.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I still have a paper towel, so we're good here.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: That's okay.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Forrest, since I'm holding my mic, could ask you to
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you're, in addition to being a beer connoisseur
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: and a great beer brewer, also a good beer porter.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: I am. I'm just a you're the worst man.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: That's that's almost as egregious as saying the wrong term
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: for gifts.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let's settle this debate really quick.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, no, for as, this is actually pretty
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: good for a gift.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Is it is a gift? We asked me this question?
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: I probably did, but I don't remember. It's definitely giff.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Thank you, man. I really thought I was going to
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: have to let go. Does not influenced me.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I believe he asked me this on like Friday, we
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: hung out and UH asked me the same question.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Okay, well we've opened up. You're a Jeff, Yeah, I'm
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: a Jiffer. So what do you call the peanut butter Jeff?
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: But it's filled with a J? What do you call
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: the really tall animal with a long neck that starts
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: with a G? I like your raf obviously, if you
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: want to see more, we have a whole video of
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Austin and I going around and around about how you
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: say the word Jeff. Well, there's one thing we can
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: all be right about, and that's that beer is good. Yep.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: So let's get this back roads to try school school.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: M that's good. It's cut like some almost chocolatey notes
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: to it.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: That is a solid, dead smack in the middle of
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: the category brown ale in a very good way. Extremely dark.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: You're not seeing through it at all. Really good head retention.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: If you have a correct beer poor. This is really good. Evan,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: You're definitely the brown amber guy between the two of us.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: For us, I think you just can appreciate any decent beer.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's like you said, it's chocolatey it's malty,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: malty for sure, and I think it was what six
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: point seven percent six it's nothing to joke about. Yeah,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: so it doesn't really have any description on it. There
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: are some words that almost looks like a song written
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: out on it.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: I want to read it out before I actually say
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: it out loud. Yeah.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: On the can it says chuck and got my you
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: know what, I'm just gonna you can look up the
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: can art yourself. I like how you tried to like
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: screen it really quick. Yeah, no, this is good.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: No.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Well, I can't talk and read at the same time.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: So the whole time I was saying, well, I should
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: probably read this, I wasn't reading it. Even though it
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: looked like I was a Great Revivalists, I said, Forrest,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: I haven't had a bad beer that you've made. Absolutely
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: same thing about Great Revivalists. I haven't had a single
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: bad beer from them, and I've had a handful of
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: beers from it. They do a good job their tap
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: room and Clinton is awesome. An old church, isn't It
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: is an old church.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: I haven't been there yet, but oh I would. It
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: is amazing.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: It's like the physical culmination of the greatness of their beers.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Like you can tell.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: They put a lot of care and effort into making
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: this this old church into a fully fledged out brewery restaurant.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: But it still has like some of the original church
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: church pews and piano and equipment and stuff are built
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: into some of the the tables and stuff.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: It's really cool.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I definitely recommend people check out their site. It's really
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: cool and.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: I believe.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: To encourage you to go there. But also they're gonna
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: be opening up one in Rock Island. It's an old
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: h I think it's an old museum or library or
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: I can't remember. It's a building in Rock Island that
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: they're kind of restoring and doing the kind of the
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: same thing.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: It's so that's even closer to home for Clinton.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, adds a little bit of uneasiness though, because we
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: are in Iowa.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Only beer podcast get it. So as long as it's
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: brude in Iowa, I don't care where I drink it.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Well, that's true, but like we we if we need
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: to make sure specifically with great revivalists from here on
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: out once they open up that Rock Island location, because
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: that's Illinois, Rock Island, Illinois. My guess is because they
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: have all their tanks, you know, in Clinton. They'll probably
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: do some more in Rock Island, so they may have
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: different offerings depending on which but I.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Don't want to speak for them. So yeah, more to come.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: I just wanted to make sure people knew that they
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: they're a great brewery and they're they're expanding. So yeah, yeah,
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: I like it a lot. Can't wait to give a
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: final thought here in a little while. Cool.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Well, there was a big game that was played last night.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: None of our favorite teams was in it, Nope, but
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: we watched but grudgingly.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: And we can break the news it was the super
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Bowl that was Yeah. I don't know if we'll get
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: sued for saying that, but only if we're like selling things,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: and that's true with it, like if we were trying
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: to charge for like a big game party or something.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Anyways, the Super Bowl was last night.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: The Eagles absolutely trounced the Chiefs. It was actually kind
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: of enjoyable to watch from that aspect because it was
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: just nice to see the Chiefs get beat for once.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: But I've got a handful of questions here. I just
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: want to run down just kind of quick like snap reactions.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: What did you guys think about some of these different topics. Okay,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: let's start with the new score bug for Fox.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: I was scrolling Twitter during the game, and this was
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: one that came up. A lot opinions on this new
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: scoreboard score bug thing for Fox.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I mean I noticed it first. I don't know if
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: you noticed, I did, not enough to. I think I'm
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: good either way. Yeah, very minimal. It didn't distract me
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: at all. Yeah, yeah, that's not one. The only time
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: I think I'm ever gonna, like truly have like an
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: over opinion on any of the network's like scoreboard is
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: if it's like confusing or hard to read. This one
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: was kind of big at the bottom, wasn't it kind
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: of took.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: It was taller, took up a little more space at
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: the bottom. But I mean, I don't know I could
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: see everything I needed to see.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: I don't And for me, I guess it didn't distract
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: me at all. Like I noticed, it was different, but
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: not enough to. I guess call that like a lot
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: of people did so. I think the people that had
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: a problem with it were probably Taylor Swift fans that
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: don't normally watch football, and maybe they had gotten used
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: to the other score bugs from the other like CBS
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: or how Fox used to look and they were just
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: mad because they don't really know what they're looking at,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: so they don't know what to look at on the
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: score bugs. So I don't know, maybe just figure out football.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: And I didn't like it. Oh, actually, I'm so sorry, but.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: It's not because I'm this, you know, uneducated Taylor Swift
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: fan Swift is the background screen of your laptop. I'm
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: looking at here. Yeah right, I've been meaning to tell you.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: But I did feel like they were like intent, It
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: felt like there was stuff missing. It just felt like
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: things were hidden almost. It was very boxy and very
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: compartmental almost. So I don't know.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: It wasn't my favorite. It didn't detract a whole lot
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: from the game. It's not like I spent all of
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: my time just like staring at the scoreboard like, oh
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: it's different and this is terrible.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: But I don't know.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Folks out there, drop a comment, let us know what
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: you thought of it.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Was it good? What is bad?
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: You've had those those instants on different things that specifically
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: not to deter the conversation, but like now that Peacock
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Network is doing like a basketball like basketball games.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: I hate there. They're the way they present scoreboard. It
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: is because it's difficult to It's just it.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't make any sense, and that maybe they've
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: gotten better, you know, but uh, but I get your
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: point that I sometimes even little changes can.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I was with somebody last night that said, bring back
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: the old school like upper left hand corner, like the
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Gray Rocks.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: One, like this, the old school one. Like I'd be
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: in favor of that.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: That was actually like kind of a golden era of football,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: one that we all kind of grew up during.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: And I don't know, I wouldn't be opposed to it.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: There was like a weird couple of years and I
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: think it was Fox that like it was like in
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: the transition between like HD and you know, just standard
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Definition that if you were watching an HDE, which by
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: the end of it we all were, it like cut off. Yeah,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: some of that score just on every single game.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: And like it's because all of the old TVs were
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: formatted for four to three and HD is formatted for
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: sixteen to nine. And the best to get on a tirade,
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: but the best is when like say an alert, like
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: a weather alert comes up and it scrolls up the
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: bottom then blocks out the whole score. Ye, like like
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: that's when you wish it was just in that right
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: upper column, you know.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I pulled it up. It's very minimalist.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: It takes up a lot of real estate on the screen.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: I feel like we've we've spent way too much time
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: on it talking about it right now, But I don't
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: there's nothing unless you thought it was too big, I
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: don't really know what there is to complain about.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Like I said, I'm not going to complain about anything
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: specifically because there's nothing specific to complain about.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: Really, it's just I don't know. Maybe it's just the change.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Maybe I don't like change. And I just got used
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: to the just the banner that went across the bottom,
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: and yeah, well it wasn't just you, I mean it. Yeah,
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: that's why I said. People on Twitter were blown up
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: about it. Let's move on next one. A couple of
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Taylor Swift sightings. We've already mentioned her also the first
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: sitting president ever to attend a Super Bowl? Is that true?
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Was he the only one?
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Remarkably you'd think like Obama or maybe even Trump in
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: its first term would have done it. But yeah, I
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: couldn't believe that he was the first sitting president to
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: actually attend a Super Bowl. I feel like just the
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: logistical nightmare is enough to be like, you know what,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: let me skip this.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: Maybe maybe I don't. That's another one.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: I could care less.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Well, another interesting thing that happened was Taylor Swift got
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: booed pretty vehemently and Trump got arounding.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Well, you have to remember this is in New Orleans,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: after you know, the Januby first, and I you know,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: I don't want to give in politics, but I feel
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: like a lot of New Orleans felt they got shaded,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: you know, by by the previous administration, and so you know,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: they're kind of happy that Trump said he was going
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: to do some things for for their city. And I
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: think that's probably regardless of if you're a Republican, Democrat, whatever,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: that's probably why he got some more cheers. So yeah, yeah,
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think the the NFL Taylor Swift like
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: love story.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: It's played fan. Wait, what do you mean? What do
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: I say? I think it's played out?
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think the only people really talking about
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: it anymore are probably like diehard chiefs that are either
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: super annoyed or super happy about it, or just diehard
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Taylor Swift fans that are still super attached to the
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Chiefs because that's Taylor Swift's team. What I found interesting
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: kind of going off to there are more memes with
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: her looking disgusted then there was, you know, with with
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: say Mahomes or Kelsey looking disgusted. I felt that was interesting.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: I did see one that was kind of funny, like
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: the monkey meme that has like two shots of the monkey,
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: one like looking in the side towards the camera on
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: the side of it, and then the next frame is
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: the monkey looking ahead of itself, but it's to the
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: other side, like the exact same Taylor the camera and
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: then I mean, which could have been those two pictures
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: could have been five hours apart, but like, still it's
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: it's funny to see that. Yeah, I think it's another
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: one that is more social media talked about than actual
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: football fan talked about.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: But greed.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, the next one here is maybe a little
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: bit more football fan masque. There was a really early
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: offensive pass interference against the Eagles that was pretty questionable.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: I don't even remember who the receiver was, but he
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: kind of was it aj Brown? He kind of shoved
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: off of the defender's helmet a little bit. He kind
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: of put his hand up and he had the face
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: mask of the defender and allegedly pushed off and that
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: was enough for them to throw the flag. When I
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: went to Twitter after that, everybody's blown up. Oh, same
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: old Chiefs with the refs on their side, you know
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: this is going to go the Chiefs way. Obviously it
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: didn't affect the game and the Eagles won handily.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: But what did you guys think of that? What were
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: you thinking when you saw that?
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: I think I said the first Chiefs advantage was the
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: coin flip was probably right. But going back to the
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: OPI yeah, I think it drew enough because I think
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: it was towards the face mask area or if it
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: was shoulder pads. I think if they would have thrown
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: a flag, I would have had a little more beef
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: with Trim, But because it had to do with the
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: face mask, I had no problem with the flag. Yeah,
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: for ust, I think you can correct me if I'm wrong.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: I think in the moment I was like, yeah, I
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: mean I can see why they threw it.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to argue it, but like I could
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: also have seen if they would have just not called
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: it being so early in the game, which I hate that.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Excuse, Like if you break a rule, it doesn't matter
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: if it's in the fourth quarter or the first quarter exactly.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Also doesn't matter if it's in the super Bowl.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Or the first except for when it's a super Bowl
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: or when it's two minutes or less to play.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: It's Yeah, but in that moment, I think I said, like, yeah,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: I can I can see it. I can see why
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: they called it, but like I could have also seen
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: a no call. It did kind of get me to
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: start thinking, like, oh, so it isn't automatically going to
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: be the refs are you know, extension of the Chiefs
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: team this time?
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: And I really.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Think, and maybe it's just diving into the conspiracy theory
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: even more, I really felt like they the Chiefs were
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: definitely not getting calls, like calls that should have gone
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: their way and not egregious, like all the refs are
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: obviously calling it for the Eagles just because they don't
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: want to look like it. But I mean I could kind.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: Of see that. Yeah, there was one later in the game.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I think it was in the second half Patrick Mahomes
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: got lit up in the backfield, got sacked, and they
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: probably could have called it roughing the passer, but some
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: other penalty had happened elsewhere on the field, and they'd
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: already thrown that flag, and it was kind of just, well,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: by nature of throwing that flag first, we can't throw
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: this other one kind of thing.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: At least that's the way it kind of seemed when
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: they justified the call when they announced it.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: But well, and to that point too, there were a
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: few times, especially you know, in the second half. Credit
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: to the Eagles, they didn't blitz at all, I don't think,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: or much at all. They got most of their pressure
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: on ma Homes with just a four man rush, but
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: there were a few times that Mahomes wild get hit,
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: legal hit, you know, nothing egregious.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: But I noticed him kind of look up like am
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: I going to get the flag? Not like jump up
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: and make a big circus act out of it, but
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: kind of look at that where you did see that,
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: and you're like, he's.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Conditioned, Yeah, he is conditioned, and he has that team
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: the Chiefs are conditioned to get those calls, whether or
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: not it's a conspiracy, whether or not you agree with it.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, look at the Packers and Aaron Rodgers days,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: like it's a fact, Like you can look up the
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: facts of like, yeah, for those few years, the Packers
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: were the most ref assisted team in the NFL by far,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: And I think it's the same with the Chiefs. Whether
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: or not you want to admit it. Mahomes is going
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: to get the calls more often than not. And I
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: think the refs were called out. Was it the head
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: of the ref Association or whatever came out the week
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: leading up to the Super Bowl and had some comment like,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: I think it's shocking and appalling that you would think
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: that we would be favoring one team.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Maybe there's a little bit of, you know, going over
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: the top the other way. I have to you almost
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: have to believe that they were overcautious to make sure
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: it seemed that they weren't biased towards the Chiefs. I
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: don't know, And again I'm saying stuff like that because
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: I truly think there is no no conspiracy. There might
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: be an un recognized bias that helps out the Chiefs, right,
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: but even then it couldn't. It's not it's not enough
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: to effectively hand somebody a Super Bowl victory. I don't think.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely agree with that, and it seemed like
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: things evened out as the game went on. It seemed
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: like for the most part, there were still some calls
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: that were a little questionable. But that's also just any
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: NFL game, right, Like, you know.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: You watch a Bears game and right you're you know,
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: yelling at the TV, and we watch a Vikings game
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: and we're doing this thing.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: You definitely, if you're rooting for a specific team, you're
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: gonna have a little more uh oh yeah, which we
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: We've done it countless this season.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Things yes, and.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Again, I feel like every time in the this season,
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: this previous season that just finished on the skull hob.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: It's whenever we've talked about refs, it's man, they had
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: a rough game. That was a frequent thing we said
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: about multiple games this year. The refs had a rough year.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: And I'll still stand by it. I think we're in
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: that weird transition time between fully on field refs and
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: fully AI refereeing. I think within a few years it'll
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: be almost perfect. It's just we gotta get there, and
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be It's gonna be tough to live through
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: for a few more seasons.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Yep, let's talk about an Iowa boy for a minute.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: Cooper Degene on his twenty second birthday with a pick six.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: He looked good. Yeah, not just on the pick six,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: but just the whole game. Like that guy's he had.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Like an eighty seven FF ranking or something like that,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: which is pretty darn good, especially for a rookie. And
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: whether it's an eye roll thing to say or not,
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: I think he's the first white cornerback to start in
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: the NFL for like decades, which again that it doesn't
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: mean anything, but I mean still like it's enough to
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: point out that stat. Iowa boy, I think he My
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: wife told me just yesterday he attended Ida Grove.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: Ohab cig. Oh man. It's one of those multiple multiple
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: consolidated school districts which a little town's oh ABC IG.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: I think Ida Grove, which I've got friends, is a
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: part of that.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: It's the IG in that acronym. But yeah, it's kind
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: of crazy that I know Ida Grove. I've been there.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: I've spent a couple of weekends there. It's when me
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: and my family have gone we have significantly increa used
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: to the population of that city, and there's only five
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: of us. I think at that time there's probably only
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: three or four of us. But to think that an
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: NFL contributor could come from that area, like we're everywhere
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: know how.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: To play football.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, you definitely saw it when he was in
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: college that he was a great just ballhawk. He also
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: didn't fair catch wave the fair It wasn't even close.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: It wasn't even close anyway.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: I'm an unbiased source on that particular incident, and I
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: think he waved the hand.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: I think it was a fair catch.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: There was something, there was enough movements. It wasn't It
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: wasn't a wave. A taxi driver would not have stopped
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: for him.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: He's he's unfortunately never gonna live that down, and that's
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: a bummer.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: But I think I think he can, uh, he's got
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: last night and be like, yeah, he's doing just fine.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: He's got to pick six in the Super Bowl on
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: his birthday off Patrick Mahomes when his team just demolished
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: a dynastic team, and he's got no worries right as
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: I'll say, I mean, congrats, I mean specifically to him
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: that he got that pick six.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's awesome. Yeah, that was fun.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: I got excited watching that and I'm not even really
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: a Hawkeyes fan.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah it was cool.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: I was like that guy came from Iowa and like
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: not just like went to Iowa for college, but like
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: grew up here.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: He's an Iowa boy through and through. I think a
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: lot of Iowan's were proud, and I know a lot
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: of Hawkeye.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: People were excited about. All right, next one here, best commercial.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: That's always a fun Super Bowl tradition.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: You know. There were some decent ones.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: I don't think they're what they were in the past,
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: but uh, I don't know. I really liked the pickleball
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: one that was that was pretty good with the Willem Dafoe.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're like play for an Ultra and they just
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: take over the world playing for That's kind of I
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: could see that. I didn't mind the Was it a
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Nerds commercial after halftime? That was like I think I
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: tweeted and said, man, that Nerds commercial was better than
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: the halftime show.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, or Skittles or whatever commercial was. I don't know.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: Was that the one with all the classic character? What
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: one was that that had all the classic Oh? That
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: one was like uber eats or doormat.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: I remember that one Monkey like that because it's a nostalgia.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: Puppy monkey baby, that one nostalgia. They made sure to
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: say it, like have it say its name was, Oh yeah,
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: puppy monkey.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: I like the Mountain Dew seal commercial. Seal as a
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: seal is.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: A little song out of my head. Yeah, it was
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: a little kiss from a rose that was. That was
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: a good one.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Well, I think I told you guys before we started recording.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: I saw a meme earlier today of uh John Hamm
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: from mad Men in mad Men standing in front of
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: a whiteboard and all the whiteboard says is, he's got
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: his hands out like hear me out, And all the
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: whiteboard says is, but he's an hour actual seal.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: And I immediately knew what he was talking about. That's awesome,
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: that's good. All right. What do you think about the
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: halftime show or did you even watch it at all?
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: We watched it. I'm sad that I watched it.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: Well, so I've heard in the moment I was like,
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: what is it like? This is awful. But I've heard
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: a lot of people say, oh man, it was the
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: best halftime show ever and it's so poetic and so
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: much meeting, and I think I've come to.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: The conclusion that it just wasn't for me, like I'm
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: not in the target.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: I can agree with that that I know, like one
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: of his songs you know well, and I think I
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: heard too that Kencha Kamar. The halftime show, most of
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: the songs on there were from a very recent album, correct.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: And not only were they recent, but all of them
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: were directed at a particular individual named Drake Yes. And
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know any I actually like went to.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: Google and was like, what's what's the beef between Kendrick
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: Lamar and Drake you and you and millions of other people.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it was heavily googled search last night. But yeah,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: it seems really petty.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it seems really do and they just are, like
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: I know, they're throwing stuff out there in their songs.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Like I said, I think he's he's obviously a great artist.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: He's not my cup tea, but good for him, you
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: can say. He halftime the Super Bowl. I didn't like
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: it at all, and I didn't think like the dancing
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: or anything around it either, even elevated the music. So
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: I just didn't like it. I will say this as
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: it's taking a ten thousand foot view of it. It
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: was well choreographed. The words I could understand. None of
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: them were this, f that or like just some crazy
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: thing that. I mean, my what seven year old daughter
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: was the closest one of the TV, and I didn't
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: ever think like, oh, perhaps she just saw that like
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: I need to get out of the room. Like there
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: was no scantily clad people either way, Janet Jackson mode.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: There's no wardrobe malfunction or anything like that. If there
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: was some horrific tone behind everything, I totally missed it.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: My seven year old daughter absolutely didn't understand any of it.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, there have been worse things to see during
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: a halftime sure from from a visual yeah, but as
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: far as like a show, Like I said, I don't
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: want to yuck anyone's yum because I'm sure there I've
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: seen it.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: There are people out there. I mean, you just asked me.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: Did I like it? No? I didn't enjoy it at all.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just And I'm not halftime show guy anyways.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Like I think I said last week, it could be
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: my favorite band out there and I'd be like okay,
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Like I don't let the why are we singing in
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: the middle of a football game?
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: Like, let's go?
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: And if you are a halftime show person, that's awesome,
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: I hope you enjoyed it. But yeah, I mean didn't
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: ruin my experience. The horrible game was pretty bad, but
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know, the halftime show just didn't do anything
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: for me.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: I'm a halftime show guy. I did. That's like halftime shows.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: I don't like the like, you know, over the top,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: you know, women doing stuff they probably shouldn't do on TV.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of those types of things, but
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: I am a fan of like quality entertainment that's wholesome
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: and good. I think I think there's a lot too
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: unpack with this halftime show, and I think that's why
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: I like it went over most of our heads.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: It went over my head.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: I watched it the kids were in bed, and I
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: was just like, Okay, let's watch this. And I had
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: actually rewound because I was like, this game is terrible.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: Nothing's happening.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: The Chiefs got the ball to start the third quarter,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: did nothing with it, and you know, then it was
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: just kind of.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: All Eagles after that.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: So I went back and watched it, and I'm like,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: this is like really politically charged almost, because like everything
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: was red, white and blue, and like his dancers were
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: in the form of a flag and you have the
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: first sitting president ever in attendance, and I was like,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: what is what does all this mean? And and then
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden you've got Samuel L. Jackson who's
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: claiming he's uncle Sam and he's like narrating this show.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was that was odd.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: I like it multiple times, you know, between the songs
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: or changes sets or whatever, he's doing his little piece,
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: and its just.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: I thought that was Morgan Freeman Samuel L. Jackson.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: I did say that a few times, like Morgan Freeman.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: I obviously knew.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: There were a few moments where Samuel L.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Jackson kind of like took on his like Coach Carter
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: persona from that movie Coach Carter, and like, I could
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: appreciate that because I love that movie.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: It's a great movie. But anyways, that might have been
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: my favorite part because I was like, I know, Samuel L. Jackson, and.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Well Serena Williams made a cameo too, which, yeah, apparently
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: that was another dig at Drake because that's Drake's ex girlfriend.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: Apparently I didn't know that I talk about Taylor Swift.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: I don't follow these celebrity things anyways. I think I
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: I would like to unpack the halftime show more, not here.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: This is not the right place to do that, but I.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Think there's a lot there. Did you guys notice Jalen
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Hurts and his like weird looking face mask.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: It really stood out to me. I did not notice it.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: It looks it looked like a picture.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: It looked like a like a space mask almost like
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: it looked like he was gonna like jump on a
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: rocket afterwards and fly to the moon. Like it just
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: I'd never noticed it before. And maybe it's just like
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: that he was first picture right there, not that one.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: Go back to. I only clicked that one because he
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: had a Super Bowl patch on, but that must have
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: been from the last time. That one.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this one right here, Yeah, that's the same. It's like, oh,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: like the visor's like built in.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: The visor is like a part of the helmet almost
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: and like you know how on most of them, like
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: right here in the center on the forehead, there's kind
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: of that like clip that holds everything together. It doesn't
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: look like that's there, or it's kind of like blended
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: into the helmet. And maybe it's also the like the
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: wings of the Eagles logo that come off either side
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: of it that just kind of make it look like
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: it's a part of the helmet. But I'm like, man,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: that's a new looking helmet, face mask visor design.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just did a couple of times on people
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: throughout the last season or two. Twitter says it's Riddell
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Rydell Axiom three D helmet with an Axiom two b
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: SW face mask, which totally I just bored everybody in
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: the world here.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: I totally get every little bit of that makes sense.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I think it. I think it's relatively new.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: I think I've seen this a couple of times out there,
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: but yeah, it is. It is kind of interesting. I
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: didn't even pick up on it watching the game, though,
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: so I noticed.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: It for the first time last night. That's the only
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: reason I bring it up. What about this next one here?
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: The Kirk Cousins curse is no more?
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Man, This year has been three hundred and sixty five
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: days have been really tough, even more since week what
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: ten of twenty twenty three has been tough for Cousins
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: unless you know, you only look at his financials, and
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: then he's doing pretty good.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: And I think that's really all he cares about. Yeah,
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: that's all I would care about. Good for him if
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: you're unaware of what the Kirk Cousins curse is. Until
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: last night, no team had ever lost to Kirk Cousins
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: in the regular season and gone on to First it
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: was make the super Bowl, and then a team did
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: that last year, so then it was win the super Bowl.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: And now that's off the table as well because the
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: Eagles lost to Kirk and the Falcons in the regular season,
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: and now the Eagles defied all odds.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: And I love that someone Will, including yourself, was tracking
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: that type of stat That's always something we've seen on
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Viting's Twitter.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: But good, all right, I'm gonna lump these last two
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: together here because we've been long winded on this first
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: part and we've got plenty more to talk about with
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: beer specifically, how about that pick one? Chiefs should burn
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: it down completely and just start over, or the Eagles
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: need to do whatever they can to bring everybody back
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: and try to run it back next year.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: I'll awesome take how about you take one? I'll take
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: one and then well, yeah, I'll just be quick. I
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: think it's it's really hard to win one super Bowl.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: It is extremely hard to win two, and the Chiefs
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: just proved it is basically impossible. It is impossible to
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: win three in a row at this point. Yes, the Eagles,
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: they have been good the last few years. I think
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: they're still in their window. It's not impossible for them
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: to do it. I know they've got a couple of
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: big free agents coming up, some solid lineman, which that's
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: if you have a good offensive and defensive and that's
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: kind of step one, and then their quarterback. They definitely
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: could still be good for the next few years. But
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: I think they should just kind of do the smart
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: things because they've proven that they can get to the
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl every few years the last decade or so.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: So I don't think they need to do anything drastic
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: to keep those pieces if they're going to cost too
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: much for him and the Chiefs, I don't think they
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: have to burn it down. But I mean you start
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: to think, like, how many more years does Andy Reid
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: have left? How many more years does Travis Kelsey have left?
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Homes He's still in his prime, but but he's Yeah,
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: he's obviously one of the best ever to play quarterbacks,
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: so he's very expensive, which you know, takes away resources
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: from being able to build the rest of the roster.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: I don't think the Chiefs are done by any means,
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: but they might have a few years where they have
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: to kind of reset at some pieces and reload, replace
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: some expensive free agents with some hits on draft picks.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: So it could be a few years before the Chiefs
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: are back in it and the Eagles again they could
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: be in the same kind of thing where they have
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: to reload a little bit. But I don't think either
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: team has to burn it down.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: I mean everyone saying Chiefs just need to get new
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: O line D line players obviously, as you saw in
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, but they got the pieces. I mean,
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: it just seems like they just always strike gold with
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: the next good thing. I mean, we all knew exaber
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Worthy rookie, you know Texas, he was gonna be speedsteering good.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: But man, he's filling that role nicely. I think they're
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: they're set on offensive weapons even if Kelsey goes. I mean,
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: you look at the season, Kelsey just wasn't as much
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: of a factor as he has been in the past,
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: so maybe he just tired as well.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Yeah, what is he thirty five, which
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: is not that old in terms of real life, but
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: in terms of football players, like he's pretty ancient. Yeah yeah,
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: But I mean you look at the Chiefs. I mean,
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: so Checko goes down. They just signed Kareem Hunt and
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: he he did great for him.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, so just the Chiefs always, it's probably a
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: lot just to do with the coaching and the offensive
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: scheme that they can just plug in anybody and they'll
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: look good.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: So I think, as a excuse me as an NFC
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: North fan, as a Vikings fan, and an NFSCV North fan,
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: I would hope to see the Chiefs burn it down, rebuild,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: move forward, and maybe the Eagles just kind of find
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: that middle road so that you know, these other teams
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: in the NFC can maybe you know, approach. I don't
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: know that the Eagles run it back, like you said,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: They've got a lot of free agents that are going
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: to be walking away.
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: Kellen Moore is a head coach. Now I'm pretty sure
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: it's I mean, I mean everything but the dotted line.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: But he may not have signed a contract yet, but
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: I think it's as good as done. And yeah, Sirianni,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: you're looking at the headline right now. Sirianni at the
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: end of the game said hey, let's run this back.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: I didn't say that. He said some.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: Other things that I can't repeat otherwise we have to
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: put the explicit tag on our podcast. But no, he
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: like was pleading with Kellen Moore a post game, like
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: even on camera as he was being interviewed, like stick around,
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: let's do this again, we can do this. And I
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: don't think that's going to happen. I think Kellen Moore
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: is going to be gone and.
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: He can't blame the guy. Yeah, And.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: I kind of hope for again, for our sake as
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: fans of other teams, that the Eagles kind of turn out,
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: like we all think the Lions will, where these great
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: coordinators are gone now and their head coach is going
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: to be left with like, well what do I do
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: and he's not going to know what to do.
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: So that's my hope. And I don't know. Andy Reid,
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: maybe he can just retire and he said he's doing.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: At least one more year, at least said before the
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl that's what he said so.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: And good for him.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's obviously a really good coach, and he's
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: a great coach, maybe one of the best. But yeah,
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: I do think it's probably a safe it's probably a
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: decent bet that the Super Bowl will feature two different
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: teams next year. I would I would take that bet probably.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, you still think the Bills are just on
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: that verge, you know, on the AFC. Baltimore is always
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: on that verge. Washington proved that they're a team to
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: to mess around. So the Lions, you yes, while while
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: betting's favorites probably are still.
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: The Chiefs and Eagles maybe for for next year. The
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: likelihood that that both make it back or it just
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: it's it's hard. It's hard to get to the super Bowl.
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: Any final thoughts on the super Bowl before we move
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: on a beer, I'm I enjoyed the Super Bowl more
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: than I thought I was going to. I agree with
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: But yes, I'm glad the season's over.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: So yeah, Sam, I'm ready to start looking at free
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: agency and the draft and let's reload for next year.
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: All right, there it is, Well, let's transition to the
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: school hop two point zero in terms of beer, because
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: that's what we're brewing, and what I wanted to do
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: here was I wanted.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: To do a quick recap of last year's beer. So
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: last year it was pretty much about this time. I
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: think it was February March ish that we brewed.
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: It was that was my first brewing experience ever, and
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: I was just kind of there to you know, film
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: things and document the process.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: But I got pretty involved. You guys kind of were like, here,
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: you do this and do that, and I learned a
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: little bit. I wouldn't say that I could fly solo, but.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: I agree, I've I've been you know, a right hand
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: man at least four or five six times with you
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: for us quite a lot, and I'm still not the
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: point where I'm comfortable, like just to start, i'd have
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: to do a lot more research before I.
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: Don't I think you could do it if if I
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: put you to the task.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Because essentially brewing is it's a recipe and you
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: just follow the steps. It's not rocket science. But there
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: are some things you have to be pretty detailed about,
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: and there's other things that you can just kind of
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: let happen. But yeah, I mean, and of course you
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: I'm not telling you anything. You don't know, but it
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: to someone who's never done it before. And maybe you
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: can speak to this too.
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: It's not as crazy difficult as you might think. I
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: don't want to that.
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: Everyone should just go and make you know homebrew right away.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: But it is pretty simple to make. Simple doesn't necessarily
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: mean easy.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: That's correct.
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: That's correct that and so it may be okay, but
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: it's not going to be something like we're drinking right now.
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: If you think you're going to do that on your
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: first brew, even if you follow the instructions to tea,
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: I think you're going to be very disappointed, just just because.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: And it's a process too. I think that's what I learned.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: And you just have to trust the process and go
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: through each phase. And it starts by making sure you
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: have good equipment and clean equipment, which we spent a
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: lot of time cleanest.
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: Sanitizing is lean and sterile.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: It's that you you could do everything else right, but
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: if you have something not one hundred percent sanitized, you
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: might as well just pour it all down to drain,
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: because it's going to give you some stomach problem.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I can I can attest to that because I've
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: had some of that and.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: That didn't happen last year with the school hoppy that
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: beer last year for us it was so good. Well,
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: well I appreciate that, but I do want to well,
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: let's talk about so it was a hoppy red or
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: happy ambryil kind of because you know, Austin's more in
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: the hop side and and Evan really likes the amber rails,
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: so we kind of took a took an angle for
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: both both, and uh, yeah, it turned out really well.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: It was a recipe I kinda made on the fly.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: Really I have I have a software that helped me
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: kind of do all the scaling to make it hopefully good.
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: But yeah, it turned out really well.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: We we used several different hops and we even dry
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: hopped a little bit, right, We didn't remember it.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah we did. We used Centennial. I had to write
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: this down because it's been a year.
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: Cascade and Centennial hops so two really good hot profiles
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: that have a piny, citrusy flavor to them. And and when.
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: You dry hop, it just gives more of that aroma
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: when you when you crack open a beer, you get
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: that that nice whiff of hop as well. So and
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: dry hopping again, when you brew beer, you have the
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: day where you boil everything together, you mix it all together,
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: then you put it in a fermentation bucket essentially, and
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: it sits in that bucket for usually a couple of weeks,
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: two three ish weeks. Well, dry hopping is a step.
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: During that two three ish weeks where it's fermenting, where
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: you add more hops, which don't really do anything for
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: the alcohol content. It's really more just about the aroma.
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: It really does nothing to the alcohol or the bitterness.
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: It literally is an aroma to the beer.
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: So it'd be like making a pot of chili and
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: then two days after you made it adding pollapeno.
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: Is there something just to change up the flavor a
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: little bit?
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: Ye, so's it's it's something obviously you see a lot
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: more on the hoppy the IPA scale.
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: You see it with the hazies.
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: That's exactly what dry hopping is because it just sits
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: in that fermentation bucket and as you can imagine, with hops,
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: it basically makes it so snow not clear anymore on
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: the beer, so it clouds it up.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: So yep, yeah, I think that was maybe like one
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: of my favorite aspects of that beer was the fact
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: that it was a red ale, but it had that
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: hoppy characteristic even upon first aroma, like as soon as
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: you we had bottles first, and then we tapped the
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: keg later, as soon as you got a whiff of it,
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: you could smell that.
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: That aroma of the hops. But then as you got
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: into it, you got more of the maltiness and yeah,
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: deeper characteristics.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: And I would say, like I would say when we
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: say happy, we could have definitely gotten even happier. I
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: think it was on the mild end. It definitely had
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: a little bite to it, but nothing extravagant for what
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: you call an ip.
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: So it was more on like the pale ale side
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: of hop.
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: So we need to be careful, guys, I'm thinking about
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: that beer too much right now.
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: We might have to that here. I did have it
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: in my notes to discuss if you're going to revive
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: this beer, I think, and if anything, would we change anything,
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: But we can talk about that someday.
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: Someday we definitely need to ye that might be an
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: off season brew day. It could be other than this
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: this upcoming week where we're going to brew another version.
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: So I'm really excited about this version for us. You
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: want to tell us a little bit about at least
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: the general idea of where we think we want to
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: go with the new version of the School.
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: Hot Yeah, so I think I want to set the
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: story straight.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: I don't think this is a beer where I shouldn't
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: speaking for myself and.
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: You can, guys can correct me.
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: We're not really promoted this as the School Hot Beer
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: two point zh because correct I think the beer we
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: made last year, the School Hot Beer, was awesome. As
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: we just discussed, there might be some tweaks and that
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: would be two point zero where this one. We just
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: want to have another good brew day. So there's a
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: style of beer we we I have never brewed before
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: and it's it's a nut brown ale. So hence kind
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: of why we did a brown ale as as a
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: beverage tonight to try to get our palates ready for this.
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: And uh so nut brown ale obviously is very similar
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: to a brown ale. It's going to have obviously a
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: little more nutty flavor to to the palette, to the aroma.
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: It kind of goes back to like an English style
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: tavern beer. So it's something I haven't done before, and
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: uh pretty excited to brew. So I I just flash
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: of the pen came up with a name for it.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say it out loud because I don't
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: want to like be like, oh, I just said a
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: name on the show, and you guys have to agree
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: to it because I said it while recording. But I'll
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: let you know and then we'll either way, we'll come
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: up with a good name for it.
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think, I.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: Think, honestly, I've really like your guys's influence. Obviously it's
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: we're brewing it because of the Skull Hop.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: So I did come up with like honorable mention name
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: only if we were a Hawkeye podcast and not a
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: Vikings podcast. But we could call it the Marvin McNutt
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: Brown Ale.
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: That'd be pretty funny a Michigan Yeah, Devill hit me
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: with the Bears being the official.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: We're not gonna name it the Marvin McNutt Brown Ale,
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: but it did come to mind.
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: It was pretty pretty clever though. Yeah, I will give
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: you that. But yeah, so I'm really excited.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: This is a type of beer that I mean, if
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: you've been a skull Hop listener since we started almost
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: two years now, you've probably picked up on the fact that, yeah,
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: I really only ever started just grabbing hazy I p
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: as and that was my go to other than like
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: the cheap you know bloggers and stuff. But Evan, through
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: your influence, has really opened my eyes to ambers and
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: browns and these darker, more full flavored beers. And so
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: I'm really excited to be a part of brewing one
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: of those. And not to put any pressure on you,
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: because there is no pressure. It's just us and a
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: few other people that are gonna try it. But again
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: I've said it before, I've never had a bad beer
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: you've brewed. Of course, I'm really excited to have a
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: brown ale by Forrest.
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, that's pressure enough. No, I think I
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: think this type of beer is one that you can.
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: Easily make or you know, it's a simple recipe. Once again,
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: I know ease comes into how often you brew, but
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: there's there's certain types of beer that you can't cover
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: up easily, and not that we try to cover up,
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: you know, mistakes, but I think a brownail's somewhat forgiving
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: if if we're not spot on on certain things. So
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: I think it's gonna farewell with with what we're trying
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: to accomplish. So so what kind of what kind of
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: ingredients are we looking at. So we're definitely doing about
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: eleven pounds of grain. And uh, I brought a little
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: bit of grain for us to sample, just to get
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: a profile. And uh so basically what you have here
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: is a pale malt and that will be probably seventy
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: percent of the grain. Build just a simple Almost every
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: beer starts with a pale mall or a two row
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: or something like that.
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: That's easily accessible.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: So we can if you want to pass that around,
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: you're gonna just get a nice bready taste to that.
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: Feel free to grab a smidge too. Here you go,
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: and there's gonna be other grains. I'm gonna put some
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: brown rain in, some brown grain into there, what they
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: call victory in there. And then what I also brought
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: was the darkest of the grains we're gonna put in.
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: And this is only gonna be actually four ounces of
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: like eleven pounds worth of grain, so it doesn't mean much,
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: but it's a heavily roasted grain. And uh, if you
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: want to try that as well, it's it's definitely gonna
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: be much more.
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: Uh it's definitely darker than the other one. It's almost
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: I always like to tell people with grains, it's kind
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: of like a coffee bean. I was just gonna the
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: longer you.
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: Roast it, the more, uh you're gonna get get flavor
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: wise out of it. I think from from a standpoint, Yeah,
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: this the second one you say, I mean, it's definitely
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: looks roasted. I was gonna say, it's gonna be definitely
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: more bold, a lot more better just because of it's
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: it's but you know, amazingly that's gonna give enough color.
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: That's the other part too, is you want to do
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: some color. So yeah, because as we're drinking this uh
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: with the back Roads Brown Ale from Great Revivalists, Yeah,
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: I mean I said it's one of the first things
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: I said about it earlier. It's a dark beer, so
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: you're saying, yeah, darkest is probably gonna be a little
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: lighter than that. I'm not sure what their grain build was, but.
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: It's gonna it's gonna We're gonna have enough color in
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: there to give a nice brown look to it, but
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: not over.
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to go chocolate. I wanted to have
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: a nice in between. So yeah, I'm hopeful. And then
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: I just wanted to really quickly talk about the hot profile. Obviously,
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: this is gonna be different than than last year's because
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: we're not going so much on the hoppy route. But
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: every beer needs some hops to it. So we're going
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: with one called Buggle and then East Golden, and both
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: those are are more or towards the pub style ales,
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: the old English pubstyle ales. The brown nails have more
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: earthiness to them, and and so I'm looking forward. I
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: haven't brewed with the Fuggle ones yet, so that's gonna
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: be fun.
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: You're saying, I believe it's pronounced fuggle g ellie. The
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: double G would necessitate a hard G. Sorry, that's that's
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: what I'm getting.
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: Sound double g. It has to be double G to
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: give you that hard Let's go down.
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: Is that what I'm hearing?
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: Ye?
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: Okay, all right, can we just send you a gift?
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: And and sorry anyway.
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: I also, you know, I keep talking about, you know
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: how brownail is more of an English style ale.
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: So of course the yeast is called Nottingham. Oh sure,
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: so nice. So just to wrap wrap that all up.
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: And what ingredients were thrown in this thing, it's hopefully
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: measuring about six percent. That's that's kind of the what
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: we're going for. So you said six percent, Okay, six percent,
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: that was pretty much about I think.
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: I think the last year's beer literally landed right at
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: six so because for a while last year, the temperature
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: of the room that our beer was fermenting and it
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: was not as as warm as it should have been.
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: It was really only about sixty ish degrees uh my basement.
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: But then you came and clutch with one of those
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: heated blankets essentially to put around the fermentation chamber to
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: give it that extra to finish fermenting, and that got
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: it back up to right right at six percent. Yep,
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: so we will we've already learned from last year. So
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: every yeast has a little bit different of what what
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: temperature it likes to work at. So but typically, yeah,
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: you want to be in the the lower to upper sixties.
• 56:55
  Speaker 3: If you go too high, it'll kill the yeast and
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: if you go to a cold but you basically fall asleep,
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: so it's like in hibernation mode.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: So yeah, something I noticed with the grain. Did you
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: see where the grain is from?
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: Ooh, okay, So the grain says it's from Roseville, Minnesota.
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: So you're a Viking span if you know anything about well,
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: Northern Brew is out of Minnesota. I'm sure they have
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: lots of different warehouses throughout the country, but.
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: The darker stuff is out of South Carolina. Oh there
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: you go. Interesting. So kind of the darker stuff that'll
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: give it more of that multi characteristic, the brown characteristic
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: that's South ko even. I by my ingredients from Minnesota
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: place and the foundation of our beer will be rooted
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: in Minnesota. That's a good thing for this importantly brood
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: and fermented in Iowa. Yeah, we're going to be on
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: location at Austin's place like we were last year. So
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: I got to do on the garage. You make sure
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: it's a complete clean.
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: Yep, it'll be sanitized and most importantly the equipment will
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: be sanitized as well. I can't wait. I'm super pumped.
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: It's gonna brew. Days are fun anyways because you also
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: get to drink and usually.
• 58:12
  Speaker 3: Are so fun and I will speak you know, it's
• 58:18
  Speaker 3: one thing to brew by yourself. You can do it.
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: It's more fun when you're with other friends and everything,
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: not only because they pass the time, you know, talking
• 58:28
  Speaker 3: and drinking beers with you, but it's also nice for
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: cleaning up, so spread out the workload a little bit, right,
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: What are we expecting to be different this year versus
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: last year's beer.
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: Well, you guys are more experienced, though I'm putting I'm putting,
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: I'm putting you in charge.
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: I'll just kind of monitor the situation now.
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: Of course, you and I we've had one brew day
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: since the skull hot beer last year.
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: I haven't wait, just one, I think just one?
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, No, I think we learned a lot from
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: just It's because I had never brewed at Austin's place,
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: so try and figure out the best setup. So I
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: think we kind of have a good idea of how
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: that's gonna work this year from the get go. I think,
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: like I said, I don't take it lightly that you
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: guys have now been around, you know, to know kind
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: of what's going on. So I think that's gonna help
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: immensely to keep things moving. But also, you know, I've
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: heard a few more since since the last time, so
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: more under your belt that I think, the more confident
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: you get.
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: So absolutely, we do have some game films we can
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: go back and study up, you know, make sure that
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: we're on top of our game.
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: That is true Schoolhoppers.
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: We have an unreleased like twenty fourish minute video encapsulating
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: last year's Brew Day that again we've never released. Let
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: us know if if you want us to put that
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: out there, maybe we should. Maybe we should watch it again.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: See how if we need to clean anything up.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I think it's pretty clean.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, well, not like like vulgar, but like yeah,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: quality wise, I think.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there might. There might have been some that we're
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: just sitting around, but well, and.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: We actually recorded an episode last year during the like
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: bulk of the sitting.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: Down period, like we we hung out. I remember we
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: were talking about JJ McCarthy being maybe like early second rounder,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: late first rounder kind of thing, and now here he
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: is the you know, proverbial starter for the Vikings, savior,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: savior for the biking.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: Right, Let's let's slow down with that. Let's manage our expectations.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 3: I can't. You've been a Vikings fan long enough. You
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: got to learn this skill. The dude's the winner. What
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 3: can I say?
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: Last time I saw him play, not in an out
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: of health preseason game, he was winning a championship.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: So we can only hope that he brings that to Minnesota.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: But it'll happen. We got to coach a year.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: Now heartbreak happens too. We haven't even said it yet.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: KFC won Coach of the Year. That's pretty awesome, that's true. Yeah,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: we haven't really talked about that on the school hop
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: at all. We probably could have talked to him. I mean, well,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: I guess that.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: Wasn't That wasn't out yet on our last episode, so
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: we could never talk about it. It might it might
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: be a name of the beer something around JJ. There's
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 3: some there's some some work that we can do. There's definitely.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: I wrote one down, and since I wrote it down,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: I'm not feeling as hardcore about.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: The ward Smith that I'm an English teacher. I'll figure
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: it out, we'll make it happen.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: Maybe some of your students can tell us what we
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: should name this. No, don't tell them what it's for. Yeah,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: some of them have already discovered what it's for.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: It's it's it's all hypothetical. We're not actually doing it exactly.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm excited for Brew Day coming up, and of course,
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: if you're out there listening, this is kind of the
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: first of a three part series for us, so this
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: was kind of the pre Brew. I'm really glad for
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: us that you brought some of the ingredient. So it
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: was fun to just kind of get the like some
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: of the initial flavors of what we're going to be
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: putting into those big kettles.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 3: And it's ultimately making several gallons of a beer. With
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: five gallons, right is usually.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we're we're gonna make five gallons basically. I
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: mean I kind of monitor as we're getting close between
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: the four and five taking gravity levels. So I'd rather
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: have quality over quantity. So I think last year we
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: ended up about four and a half, So something like that.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: Sorry to cut you off, No, no, you're good, but
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: that's exciting.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: And so the next episode will be live on location
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: from the Brewdey, I.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: Mean as live as a prerecorded podcast, as live as
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: you can get.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: But we won't be here.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: We will be in your garage probably unless we have
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: to change location due to weather.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it could be kind of cold. I
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: don't know. We'll have to talk about that. We'll figure
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: that out. Might have to bundle up a little bit,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: but we had to do that last year. It's cold,
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: it was cold last year. I bundled up pretty good.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: But Anyways, we will not be here, that's for sure,
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: because this is not a good place to brew beer.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: It is a good place to record a podcast, however,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: and then we will have another episode after the brew Day,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: just kind of as a follow up to kind of
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: just talk about how things went. And of course between
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: now and that episode, there's bound to be NFL news
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: for the Bears, for the Vikings. Absolutely, we'll talk about
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: all that in the next couple of episodes as well.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: I just saw a tweet not to derail it too
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: much from at Nicholas Miller, Nicholas M. Miller, a different Miller,
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: no relation. I'm assuming that says as of now, February
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: seventeenth is a key date for the Vikings. It's when
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: the contracts for Sam Darnold, Byron Murphy, Stefan Gilmour and
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: Aaron Jones Jones, Man, I'm not even Minnesota, Aaron Jones.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: It's when their contracts all void, so they have like
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: void years tagged on yep. And at that date, I
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: think it's one of those if they're still on the
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: roster as of that date, it's automatically void and they're
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: free agents. So that is a big day. So I
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: think we our brew days before that February seventeenth day,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: but I think that's we're on the next recording day
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: for us for the next official episode.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so really quick. Maybe we can just rapid fire
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: this to close things out. There's no football until August.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: That's that's sad. The battle Hawks are.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: USFL.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: Well, it's just the UFL, I know, but it was Yeah,
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: Saint Louis, but we are. I didn't tell you this yet,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: but no, we're going to become a Saint Louis battle
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: Hawks podcast. I will become part of a Saint Louis
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: battle Hawks podcast.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 3: You want big, big top ventures to keep hawks.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: Good news for you. I have some other recording equipment.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: You can take that home. You can do your own things.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: Something there might be something there. Anyways, there's no NFL
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: football until August. No NFL football, no nc double September.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, preseason, but August August. It's coming, but
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: it's a ways away.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: Forrest will let you pick Michigan or the Bears, or
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: you could do both. What are your off season hopes
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: for your teams? Austin and I will.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: Chat with I'll say one plug for Michigan and then
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: I'll move to the Bears since it's more NFL focused.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: Michigan got new oc from North Carolina, so Chip lindsay,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: So I'm kind of excited about that.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 3: And we do had the number one quarterback coming in
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: as a freshman, Bryce Underwood, so so nice could be exciting.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 3: It could be exciting.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: After signing day, we're the number six class or for recruits,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: so you can see what happens.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: What about the Bears, Ben Jonson.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: The man if he's not, I don't know the Bears
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: at least, I feel did everything right this time around.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: Where in the past when they've had a coach in vacancy,
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: it felt like sometimes they're just pulling out thin air.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: I knew, I I'd only heard because Brian was a
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: whole fan, but I mean, yeah, I knew about Fox
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: obviously with his history, but uh yeah, I just uh.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: The Bears just never done.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: I don't think a fantastic job with I felt like
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: they were always on the on the the behind of
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: who's left over, and this time they really took the initiative.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: I would say Ben Johnson was the top guy for
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: almost every team. I'd say at least every every team
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: was at least interested in him, maybe not their top
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: but so I I felt like, I mean, we were
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: paying him a ton of money, uh for for never
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: being a head coach before. But uh, I'm excited. I'm
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: excited that he comes from that role of being able to,
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: I think, going to help Cale Williams out the offense
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: out and in his first you know thing, he was saying,
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: we need to build up our lines, our O line especially,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: so he knows his weaknesses from the very get go.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: So I'm excited to see who we get free agency draft.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: Let's move on, Let's let's get the next season.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 3: Started. His contract, Ben Johnson's contract bigger than Kaos's.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't think they've officially announced contract, because he's
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: around like a thirteen. We've heard rumors of like thirteen.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: I bet you it's pretty comparable for what Kaos is
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: going to get, which is crazy.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: Because Kaos has two winning seasons playoff appearances.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 3: Obviously one not great.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: Season, but he dealt with a lot of injury and
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: now he's got a Coach of the Year tacked on
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: to his resume, you know, but so much else to
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: show for.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: Front of the show Dustin Baker, who was just on
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: last week set. He had a source and this was
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: from a couple of weeks ago, right after the KOC contract.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: He said his source was saying O'Connell's deal was thirteen
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: million per year through the end of twenty twenty nine.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: And I think Dustin also put out an article on
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: Vikings Territory dot Com within a couple of days of
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: him sending that to us that kind of outlined at
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: least what he's heard.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 3: So I think Koc's deal added on to his.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: Current through twenty twenty five, which kind of brought that
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: that average per year number down, because twenty twenty five
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: is less, you know, it's probably like six seven million.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: But yeah, after twenty five, his average is probably something
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: like fourteen fifteen million, right, Ben Johnson. I mean just
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: off of you know, coordinator reputation alone, he got that
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: thirteen million dollar years. So I'm hoping as a Vikings
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: fan it just crashes and burns.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 3: Of course, and I can respect that. I mean as
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: as a rival in the same division. I think it's.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: Like I said before, if the Bears don't do good,
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: it's not because of their lack of trying. This this
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: time around, they I think they did their homework.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: I was a little scared, you know, before Ben Johnson,
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: when they were flowing out names like Mike McCarthy and.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 3: The whole man, I was hoping Mike McCarthy was. I
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 3: was a little scared.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: Poles was a little bold to just say, yeah, we're
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: interviewing everybody, like we'll leave no stone unturned kind of philosophy.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: And it's like, well, there are a few stones you
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: could leave unturned, like Macarthy.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: I think Bears fans in general were really excited that
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: it seemed like the front office finally got it this
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: time around. So well, and I say, I hope it
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: all crashes, crashes and birds. But my honest thought process
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: as of right now, and listen up, Lions fans, you
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: quality people.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: You are.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: Dripping with sarcasm there. I'm genuinely, as of this moment
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: February of twenty twenty five, more concerned as a Vikings
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: fan about the Bears moving forward than the Lions, because
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: the Lions just had all of their actual coaching ability
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: gutted from their team. It wasn't just the coordinators, it
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: was like lower level assistance.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 3: It was a time it was a ton of staff.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: They're basically left with Dan Campbell, who has balls of
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: steel and can lead men through a brick wall. But
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: I don't believe in his He's never called plays offense
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: or defense. I don't believe in his ability to keep
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: up with the quality that the Lions have been the
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: last two and a half years.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 3: It'll be hard.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: It'll be hard just because they put the level so
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: high that I think everyone's expecting a drop.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 3: I don't know how far.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: I'll be happy to eat these words if I'm wrong,
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: but I genuinely think and maybe it'll they'll figure it
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: out after a couple of seasons, and Dan Campbell will
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: you know, get another couple of great coordinators that he
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: develops again. But I really I think the Lions, I mean,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: has he filled the he for the pretty much within
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: on I think one of the decent potentially, and then
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: he had.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 3: Outside I think on the other one. I can't remember
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 3: which one it was, So.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Ben Jonsen's gonna continue his success, and
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: maybe it'll just be on offense and there will be
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: some weaknesses on defense.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 3: But I think the Bears, I mean, are gonna end
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 3: up being more powerful than that.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: I mean they hired Alan for for their d C
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: and everything.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's true. So it's it's gonna be. I
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 3: think the Bears. As a Bears fan, we're excited.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is I can't remember the last time
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: we actually felt like we actually hired potentially good people
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: like now, whether another you know, it's on paper, whether
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: that turns out to be the actual result is totally different.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: But yeah, anyway, all right, Evan, same question for you.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: I want you to answer for you want me to
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: go first.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 3: All right, I.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: Think minus twofold one has nothing to do with the
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: Vikings at all, but it has something to do with
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: another team in the division.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 3: We've already talked about the Bears. You've brought up the Lions. Now.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: I just hope the Packers remain like mediocre. I just
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: hope they remain just middle of the road, not great.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: I hope that they don't change a thing in Green Bay.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: Well, if you're just they definitely need to get a
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: wide receiver.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah no, let's no wide receivers go to Green Bay,
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: none of that, none of that. Let's just everything can
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: stay the same and they can just be mediocre again.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 3: Then be fine.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: They can finish third in the league, in the division,
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: and I don't think anybody here at this table would
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: complain about that.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 3: I would definitely have no qualms.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: The second thing is you gotta get Byron Murphy back.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: You brought up that tweet just a minute ago. Of
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: these guys that are their contracts expire essentially in a
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: week from today, seven days from today, they expire, you said,
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: Darnald Murphy, Gilmour and Jones. I think of those four,
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: you have to prioritize Byron Murphy. He had such a
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: good season, he had so many interceptions, and the Vikings
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: are just so needy in that defensive secondary. They need
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: him back, and they need a lot of those other
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: guys back to You need Kim Byron biting them, Kim biden.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 3: Them is what I meant to say. You need him back.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: You hope Harrison Smith musters up another season before he retires,
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: and you probably have to go out and get a
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: guy in.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 3: Free agency or the draft or something.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: But well, the nice thing is the Vikings, do you
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: have a chunk of change to be able to maneuver
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: and potentially fill those weaknesses? Roughly seventy million, which is nice,
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: And what are your thoughts Do you think Sam Donold's
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: for sure gun, because I'll tell you my opinion right
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: after you say yours. I'm kind of on the fence honestly,
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: like it would be notice, it would be a luxury
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: maybe to keep him, just because he's familiar. He played
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: so well, he gets along really well with Koc. He's
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: got a little bit of chemistry now with Justin Jefferson,
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: Jordan Addison. It didn't seem like he developed a lot
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: of chemistry with TJ. Howkinson, which is maybe a little.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 3: Concerning tough because it was weird the field. Yeah, so
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I think he's gonna demand a lot
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 3: of money unless he's willing to take less to stay.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 3: And I also think he probably wants to start.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: I don't think he wants to go sit the bench
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: behind JJ McCarthy. And I think that's kind of where
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: the Vikings are headed. And I know there are a
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: lot of it's a really divisive issue in Vikings fanhood
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: right now. Like you're either yeah, bring back Sam Donald
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: because he's a known quantity and we can run it
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: back with him, or you're in the JJ McCarthy like, Nah,
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: Sam was great, but man, he really crapped the bed
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: in the last couple of games of the season. Let
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: him go, save the money and let's ride the train
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: with JJ McCarthy for a couple of years while he's
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: cheap and see what we kind of get.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: And before I'd say money would be my main thing,
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, well, you're going to spend on Donald, I mean,
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: to bring him back, you could be potentially using for
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: other big dams.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: And I think I'm kind of in the middle of
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: the road on that. I think if there's a if
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: there's a compromise that can be made to get Sam back,
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: not for thirty million or whatever he's going to demand
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: out in the market, but for less than that, probably
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: more than the ten million that he brought home this
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: last season, but maybe not egregiously more. If there's a
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: compromise there, sure bring him back and then maybe let
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: him and JJ battle it out in camp. I don't
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: know that that's a realistic option at this point. Yeah,
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: I think he I think he's commanded a bigger pay
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: day out there somewhere. And what we know about the
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: NFL is it's a quarterback needy league and the supply
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: of quarterbacks is always lower than the demand for a
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: good quarterback play in the league. So he'll find a
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: home somewhere. It's probably going to be like you know,
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: Vegas or.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know New York, really know the Saints.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, we don't know what Derek Carr, what they're
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: going to do well on a new quarter or a
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: new coaching regime too. Yeah, I think I think the
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: realistic version of what you just said a minute ago,
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: of having JJ and the veteran battle it out and
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: that veteran making tennish million dollars, that realistic other veteran
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: is probably Daniel Jones or someone like that. And I
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: think we all kind of said this last week with
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: Dustin sam Donald just off of dollars, Like you said,
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: Forrest just off of dollars, He's going somewhere else. The
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: Vikings don't have to. I mean, if they think the
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: way we think they think about JJ McCarthy, which they've
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: already invested quite a bit in draft capital and hopes
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: and a year of development, if they really think the
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: way we think they think, they're not going to need
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: to feel that need to spend a franchise tag of
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: probably forty million dollars or a two three ish year
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: contract of probably twenty five thirty plus a year on
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: Sam Donald. I think it just logistically the answer is
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: already out. It's plain to see Donald will be the
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: Raiders quarterback or the Giants might try to plug him in.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: If it weren't for his past, I'd say the Jets
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: would make a lot of sense. But there might be
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: some ego that and some PTSD PTSD, there might still
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: be some ghosts flying around MetLife for Sam Donald. But
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 2: there's gonna be enough teams, and there only has to
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: be one, but there's gonna be enough teams that will
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: believe in Sam Donald enough. And I think the Vikings
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: believe in him. I think KOC.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 3: Believes in him.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: But there's enough teams that will It will make as
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: much sense for them to pay Sam Donald thirty forty
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: million a year as it makes for the Vikings to
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: not pay him because they have JJ. Because I truly
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: believe Daniel Jones is probably looking at this as like
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: a reset button on his career. And unless some other
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: team comes out straight to Daniel Jones and says, hey,
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: we want you for twenty he's probably thinking, Okay, I'll
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: probably get a cool ten from Minnesota and it will
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: be a nice Sam Donald year. You know, quote unquote,
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: I'll get to reset. Whether or not he gets to play,
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: He'll still be in that room with Koc, who is
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: known to be a QB whisper. As far as what
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: I want for the Vikings next year, use that money
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: overpay a little if you have to to plug with reliable,
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: solid free agents, the interior offensive line, the interior defensive line,
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: shore up that defensive backs group, and if you do
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: those three things, along with doing the correct decisions at quarterback,
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: you should be able to be at least as competitive
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: or almost as competitive as you were in twenty four
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: in twenty five. So I think Quasi the general manager.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: He has proven that he can be a free agency
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: guru more than a draft guru. Get a decent running
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: back in the draft, maybe a few flyers on other positions,
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: and then pound it out in free agency and run
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: it back and get Koc another Coach of the Year
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: and hopefully a Lombardi Trophy next year. I will just
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: piggyback real quick off That thought of the quarterback group
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: coming in the draft is not near what it was
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: last year. So I'm not saying there's not good quarterbacks
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: in the draft, but it's not what it's gonna be
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: from last year's group. So and I'm sure teams are
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: thinking about that when they're considering do this sign Sam Donald,
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 2: you know, and that will factor in as well.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: Think teams will easily go to free agency before they
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: go to the draft for the answer at quarterback, whatever
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: that is.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: And again we're obviously saying that about Sam Donald right now.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: I think automatically he's going to get the money he
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: earned this season. That could affect the Daniel Jones of
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: it all. For the Vikings too, some team even if
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 2: the Vikings, let's just pretend throw per ten numbers. If
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: the Vikings are willing to throw ten at Daniel Jones,
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: maybe if the Raiders lose out on Sam Donald, they're
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: comfortable throwing fifteen at Daniel Jones. And if I were
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 2: Daniel Jones and one team's offering me ten, another one's
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: offering me fifteen, that's not even a decision. Let's go
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 2: for fifteen. And good for him if he does that, absolutely,
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: But yeah, if the draft doesn't vote as well for
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: quarterbacks as they think the Vikings may get sniped down.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 3: I look forward to a future podcast, but we talk
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 3: about that.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: But if the Vikings play their cards right, if Quacy
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: plays the cards right, he could sign Daniel Jones to
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: a one year contract or Sam Donald to another one
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: year contract and then still roll with JJ McCarthy and
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: have some trade bait or something to recover some draft
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: picks or to you know, to make a juicy trade
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: either right before the deadline or maybe you know, before
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: training camp or whatever.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 3: Which could be really savvy. There's just a lot of
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 3: risk with that. I'm not saying that's yeah, high risk,
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 3: but also high reward for sure, because if that were
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 3: the case, if you know, and maybe I'm kind of
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 3: rethinking a little bit, if you know another team will
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 3: give up quite a bit to get a quarterback, maybe
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 3: you take the risk in franchising Sam Donald for well,
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 3: I think it's like thirty nine points something million a
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 3: year will be the quarterback franchise, which eats up almost
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 3: or more than half of your free agency money. But
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 3: if you can do that and know you're gonna get
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 3: a second round pick, probably not a first round pick,
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 3: but knowing you're gonna get some return on that investment
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 3: right away.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: That'd be savvy. That'd be like we'd be cheering after
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 2: that trade was finalized. But don't do it if you
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 2: think you want.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 3: Sam Darnold on the team for next year, because that's
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 3: a lot of money for a guy to potentially not start.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: The good news for the Vikings is I think they're
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: in the driver's seat with all of that, and I
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: think Koac and Koc can really dictate how they.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 3: Want to do that. But I don't want to dampen
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 3: the mood. But do you get that reference for us?
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 3: I got it.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: We're out of beer. We are, and we probably talked
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: too long. Never but final thoughts on this back Roads
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: brown Ale from Great Revivalist Forrest.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 3: What do you think? I mean? It was solid. They
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 3: did a great job. I hope our beer tastes anything
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 3: to that standard. I'd be happy with all. I'd be
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 3: jumping for joy. So you feel the same way.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I really like this. This is definitely one. So
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 2: the beer we had last week, the Mega Stupid Cake
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: Awesome Sour dessert Sour whatever it called, the stupid beer
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: from Reunion that I ended up saying, you know, I
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: might buy one for myself after a few of other
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: ones at a bar or something. This one I would
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: gladly purchase another six pack just for myself, definitely in
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: the colder months of the year, maybe sitting by a fire.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 3: This was really good.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: I really wish I would have gotten two six packs
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 2: and we each could have had a couple more. But yeah,
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 2: I like this one a lot. Is it my favorite
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: beer ever? Probably not, But I couldn't tell you what
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 2: my favorite beer ever is. It's really good. If you
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 2: even kind of like brown ales, this back Roads brown
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 2: ale from Great Revivalists is one that you have to try.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, ditto to everything that you guys have said. It's
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: super good and it's definitely in my wheelhouse. It's kind
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: of in my preferred category of beer. I definitely lean
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: a little more like red and amber and not so
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: much brown. Sure, but I liked this and as soon
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: as I got some of the aroma of it, I
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: could smell the chocolate maltiness of it all, and I
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: was like, Yeah, this is gonna be a good one,
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: and I have not been disappointed.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 3: So really good stuff. We've already talked about it.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: But episode eighty, which is crazy to believe that we're
