• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right, Hey, Vikings fans, welcome in to another episode
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: of the School Hob. I'm Evan and I'm Austin. We're
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: just a couple of dudes from Iowa. We like drinking
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: beer talking about the Vikings.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we do.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: And tonight is episode sixty, which is awesome. Feels like
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: a really cool milestone. I can't believe we've been doing
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: it this long. And here's to another sixty and beyond.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: But for tonight, we try new to us brewery, one
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: that neither of us had ever tried before, and I
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: think I think we both liked it pretty good.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was awesome.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately for me, I was the victim of the wheel
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: of purple punishments. You had correctly picked the Vikings would
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: win against the Packers, and I had predicted preseason that
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: they would lose. So I was the victim of the wheel.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: So you'll get to experience my punishment compliments of the wheel.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: So that was fun.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And after that we recapped the pack the
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: win against the Packers and hopefully the upcoming win in
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: London against the Jets this week.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: And you kind of posed another question to me similar
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: to what you did last week, but we continue kind
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: of this conversation about Sam Donald and what do the
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Vikings do after this season with this quarterback, Sam Donald,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: if he continues to play the way that he has.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: It was it was a tough question, and I kind
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: of struggled to answer it. Yeah, so it'll be interesting
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: to see for sure.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: For sure, and in some ways I kind of hope
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: it keeps being a tough question. But all that to
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: say for tonight, grab a cold one, join us for
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: episode sixty and we'll get going from there. It's cool,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: all right. As we get started here, we we gotta
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: pay the bills. So let's give a big thanks, a
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: big shout out to show presenting sponsor, Big Top Ventures.

• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Thanks guys. Well you know what time it is. I know,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: I'm so excited for this one. I was just telling
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: you I helped that because you're the only one that
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: has to spin the wheel of Purple Punishments.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: But now that it's like here, I'm kind of excited.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I just want to get it over with.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I don't want to have to eat alapanos or do
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the send them a challenge, anything crazy like that.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I will cheer you on.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I can like a blindfold. I'll deal with it. Sitting
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: in a child's chair, I'll deal with it. What else,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: taking a shot of apple cider vinegar, I can deal
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: with that.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: That might not be too bad. Actually, so here we go.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Well, hold on, shall we preface us really quick? Oh yeah,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: we are about to do our segment called Purple Punishments,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: where we made our preseason picks. I forget which episode
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: fifty one or something like that, back a handful of
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: episodes we made game by game preseason picks, and this
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: segment is if either of us get those picks wrong,
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: then whoever got that wrong would have to spin the
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: wheel of Purple Punishments and do whatever the wheel says.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: And so far, the two times we've spun the wheel,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: we've both been wrong, and so we've both had to
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: suffer the punishments.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Now, this week, you picked the Vikings to beat the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: packers to leave, and I picked them to lose to
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: the packers. So here we are, there's the context.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: We're gonna spend it. It's just right here, here we go.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I'm so excited all the sound effect.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Take a shot of apple cider vinegar. Man, I feel
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: like you got you got off easy this time.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I can deal with that. Well, you're not gonna love it,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: but but.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: It's a good thing. I texted you earlier because I
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: told you. I said we should get some Viking shot
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: glasses if we're going to have to do that one,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: and you delivered.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: So it's actually closer to you.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: We've got a little pantry going on back here and
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: a whole bunch of groceries, so this will be interesting.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Man, this is genuine apple cider vinegar, and this is
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: you bought a lot of apple cider.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Well I just went to the dollar store. I just
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: like went off of our list. Do you want to
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: do the honors? You want me to pour it?
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Okay, over the equipment that we have.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Here, I trust you, all right, You're not the one
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: that has to do it, that's true. We'll give you
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: the honors of pouring it up. It looks kind of
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: like beer.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: This is a This is a decent sized shot glass.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I know I picked the bigger one on purpose. Okay,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I'm not afraid. There we go. All right, you.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Should hold it up of your see. I filled it
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: mostly the way. That's probably more than an ounce or two.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: But well, this is what I get for picking against
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the Viking.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: You should not do that. You should not do that.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: I can't go back. I mean, I picked them.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: I think I picked them to win eight games this year,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: so this could be a long season if they continue
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: on the trend that they're on.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: We only we only spin it if we're wrong about it,
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: not if they lose. So right, well, all right, bottom's up.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Oh man? Well yeah, how was it?
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: That burns? Yeah? That burns. I'm so glad I didn't
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: have to do that. It's like it's sour, so it's like, yeah,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: it just makes you.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Pucker your your eyes are water is pretty good. Right Now,
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: you're putting up a good fight. But man, that I
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: can tell.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Well, here's the deal.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: It was about thirty seconds worth of punishment, and now
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: we get to enjoy beer.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Now you don't have to wear socks on your hands
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: or do push ups every time you say vikings. So
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: that's why I said, of everything, you probably got off
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: pretty easy.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you will for taking it easy on me.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it all right. Well, we do have some
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: beer here, yeah, we do, and I'm ready to get
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: into it because I need to get this taste out
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: of my mouth. We were approached by Jeff from Titanka
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Brewing Company, Thanks Jeff, north Central Iowa, and he wanted
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: to send us some beer and start fighting it a
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: little bit.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I'm pushing through.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Sorry anyways, Jeff from Titanka, he offered.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: To send us some beer. Yeah, And he didn't just
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: send us some beer. He sent us a whole lot
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: of beer, yeah, and two episodes. So we're hoping to
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: try two of Titanka's beers tonight and then we'll save
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: two episode yeah, in the next couple of weeks or so.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: So thank you Jeff from Titanka Brewing. We're excited to
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: try these beers, and I'm excited to try this one.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: We picked this Rooster Tails red Ale to start with. Yeah,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: it looks the cann looks really good. All of their
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: their can art has that really cool, like fresh clean,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: like simple modern look to it. Obviously, can art doesn't
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: really traditionally mean anything towards how the beer tastes. I
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: don't believe I've ever had any Tatanka Brewing beers.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Do you know if you have? I have not either.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: In fact, I hadn't heard of them until you told
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: me that they reached out to us and wanted to
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: send us some beer.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, all right, songs there for my Well,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: let's do it.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Absolutely So, I'm really excited to try these out, especially
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: since after this we have what three more kinds of
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: beers to try. We'll try to tonight this Rooster Tails
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: red Ale, and then about midway through the episode, we're
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: gonna we're gonna try this second of the two we're
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: gonna have tonight, which is there middle of nowhere any
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: I pa. So I'm really excited about both of them.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: But we're starting off with the red Ale first. All right,
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: let's crack them open.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: How's the apple cider vinegar.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: So it's settled down a little bit, but the aftertaste
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: is still like stuck in the back of my throat.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: So I'm ready for something else. I'm ready to wondering.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering how they're gonna mix.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Do you have a bottle of water here? So I
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: might take a quick chug of my water?
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: All right, So first impressions pouring the beer. Oh man,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: I hope this doesn't. It's definitely a red ale. It's
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: got a nice light red flavor or red color to it,
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: pretty good head retention. I haven't again a nice light
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: aroma as well, so not anything extreme. I feel like
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: the last handful of beers we've had on the on
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: the show have been solid beers beers again other than
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: the caramel apple fandango, So this kind of gives me
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: vibes that it's gonna be another one of those solid
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: beers beers. And yeah, I'm really impressed with the way
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: this is looking so far. I'm gonna let it die
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: down just a second because I do hard pores, so
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: it takes me a second.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: It's not super transparent either, so that means it's got
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: a little little body to it.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: I think it's so nice to grab a beer and
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: not have a sock on my hand like we.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Did last It was it was nice to not have
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: to crack that was so sock on your hand too.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: I use two hands carefully.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Everything you said, I was about to say, other than
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: the heat, the cracking it open was the hardest part.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: But no, I think it was the two hand poor.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: I don't know either way. I think I'm ready to
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: get going.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Let's try the rooster the rooster tails rooster.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Tails red a school m Yes, that's wonderful. The multi
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: flavor is really strong, yeah, which I like. That's a
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: good characteristic of anything in that category. And it's the
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: perfect way to wash that taste out.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I like it a lot.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: I'm almost getting kind of like a tangy vibe from it,
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Like it's definitely malty in the red ale, but it's
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: not it's not all the way into like a dark amber.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I like it.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: It's it's got a flavor I wasn't expecting and I'm
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: definitely here for it.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: It's it's kind of a hangy.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: I can't think of a better word to describe it
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: other than that the apple ciderwinger may be, you know,
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: messing with your taste buds a little bit, but yeah,
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: I like it. One one good sip in and I'm
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: I wish we had ten or twelve more of these things.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: This is delicious.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: They're super good and four and a half percent. So
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, pretty easy going. I probably wouldn't do dinner twelve,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: but yeah we'd get fold before that. You could go
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: for a.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Few, yeah for sure, Yeah and be just fine.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: So so far, Jeff Titanka, You're one for one on
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: delicious beers. I'm ready to try the other ones, honestly.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: All right, Well let's uh, let's talk football.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: How what do you what do you mean?
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Is there anything we even can talk about? Like we're
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: just Vikings fans. It's not very exciting, is it.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Well? The Vikings are four? No?
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: What?
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: It was an odd game to watch. It was definitely
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: tale of two halves, absolutely the definition of tale of
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: two halves. But I feel like there were a couple
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: other games between college and NFL that had similar things happen,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: not quite to the Vikings extreme. It got hairy there.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: It definitely my heart was pumping towards the end. But
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: it's okay because the first part of the game, really
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: most of the first half up until that punt return
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: that was muffed and then returned recovered by the Packers.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Before then, the Vikings could do no wrong, absolutely no wrong.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: There was a couple of calls.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: I thought the refs overall had a pretty rough day,
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: because even in texting you, like there was even a
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: couple of times that you said, like, oh no, that
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: definitely should be called the Vikings way.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: We were kind of arguing, yeah, yeah, like I saw
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: it one way, you saw it a different way.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I feel like the refs definitely could have
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: done better. There were, I mean, most of the crazy,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: blatant ones, like you can't really whint about the rest
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: too much, but even some of the calls that went
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: the Vikings way, I was thinking, like, man, I don't
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: I don't really know. I don't see that. I see
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: that going the other way. I think there was a touchdown. No,
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: it was the play that the Packer caught the ball,
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: had possession. His feet were in the end zone, so
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: he had possession of the football while he was located
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: in the end zone. Yes, the ball was technically not
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: in the end zone, but that shouldn't matter.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: He was in the end zone.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: They called it not a touchdown, and I thought that
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: should have been a touchdown for the Packers. I'm not
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: an expert, I'm not an NFL referee. Maybe that's just
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: me not knowing every part of the rule, but even now,
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: like I still kind of weird enough, I think that
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: should have been called it.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: They also brought Gene Sterotoler on the broadcast a few times,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: the rules analyst, and there was that play, and then
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: there was also the play I think it was in
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: the third or fourth quarter, and it was an interception
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: and the Packers defensive back looked like maybe he bobbled
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: it and maybe he didn't survive the ground, which if
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: you're a receiver, that's definitely I feel like had he
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: been a wide receiver and not a defensive back, they
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: would have looked at that more closely. But they didn't,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: and they ruled it an interception even though it shouldn't
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: have been. And Gene's territory even said that's not an interception.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: That was another one, and granted that was one that
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: went against the Vikings. So of course we're going to
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: sound like homers or whatever which we are. We're, you know,
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: pure blood Homers for the Vikings, there's no question about it,
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: but that one specifically, still I can't. I would need
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: a very slow and detailed explanation, as if I'm a
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: five year old for me to try to understand why
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: that was actually an interception, because he was definitely bobbling it.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: I've been on this podcast many times and even still now,
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: I'll definitely say the referees more often than not, overall
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: do a fantastic job. And I know that's most people
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: are like, No, riffs are terrible. I don't know what
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: they're seeing. Most of the time, they make the right
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: call in real time, and even like in real time
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: it might seem plain his day to go the other way,
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: but then you see it in slow motion, it's like, oh, yeah,
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: I guess his toe was barely just out of bounds
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: or something like that. And these refs most of the
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: time get the call right right away. So I genuinely
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: usually believe in the refs. That game could have been
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: called a little bit differently. However, I don't think the
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: refs gave the comeback to the Packers other than that interception,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: which could have been huge I think the Packers really
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: did figure stuff out, and they did turn it around,
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: and they made it a heck of a game.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: They sure did. Yeah, And I don't know. It's hard
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: for me.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: It's hard to fault the refs because the game happened
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: so quickly and you got a lot of talented players
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball in that game.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: There were definitely a lot of questionable things. I question
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: what's reviewable and what's not, you know. I think that's
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: maybe something that the league has to look into. And
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: I almost wonder if you make everything reviewable.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Well, I think that's kind of what they tried to
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: do a couple of years ago when they made past
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: interference calls reviewable. But that was that was a mess
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: and they never figured that out. But then out of
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: that came the Eye and the Sky, which I feel
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: like that has made things better. I don't know a
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: little bit. I think they genuinely tried to do the
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: right thing, and they try to do their best to
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: be able to make the correct calls, even if they
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: have to go to some eye in the sky in
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: New York.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: I think the eye on this guy has made things
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: more efficient so it's not like five minutes and both
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: teams are like, oh, I'm not even sweating anymore, Like,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: are we going to continue playing football?
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: What's going on? There's one guy looking in this thing.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: You know that it's sped things up so that they
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: can get back to playing the game regardless of what
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: the call is. But it's still not perfect. And I
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: think technology has advanced so much. It's twenty twenty four
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: for Pete's sake. Yeah, I feel like they could put
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: stuff in the ball. They could put a chip in
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: the ball, they could, you know, put cameras in a
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: million different places and have eyes everywhere. That would make
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: it like without a doubt, this is a catch or
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: it's not. This is a first down, or it's not,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: this is a touchdown or it's not.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Absolutely so.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: And I think the league has always aired on the
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: side of making sure it's a human making these calls, because,
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: like I just spent a few minutes saying, the refs
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: more often than not make the right call, or at
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: least close enough to the right call, And I think
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: you do need to have that human element. It can't
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: just be all And I'm not saying this is what
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: you're advocating for it can't just be a digitized everything
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: with only cameras and AI and computer chips and trackers
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: just making every call. There's got to be a human
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: element somewhere. But I think that eye in the sky
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: thing kind of because for years we would say stuff
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: like watching it on TV, like how can we see
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: it playing as day with the NBC broadcast or whatever,
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: But the refs are still making the opposite call. And
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: I think the eye in the sky type deal is
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: one thing they did to try to say, you know what,
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: you're right, if you can see it on TV, it
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: should be a common sense thing.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Another thing you're seeing the last handful of years those
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: extra pylons, the like end zone type pylons. You're seeing
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: that like the first down break, and that's huge. That's
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: super cool one because like a lot of times this TV,
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: can you know we actually see the broadcasts of that
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: camera two, Like that's just another tool to help referees.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Like for years I remember thinking, why couldn't they put
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: two cameras down the goal line just to be able
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: to see if the ball broke the plane? And they
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: kind of have that now, which is cool. So overall
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: I think referees are doing good things to make the
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: game better. I think the game this weekend was a
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: little rough for the referees. Fortunately, we're saying that after
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Vikings win, and we're not blaming the refs for blowing
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: a Vikings win.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: So would you say that the officiating was a thorn
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: for you? If we're going to transition into roses and
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: thorns here for the game, it definitely could be. I
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: had written down a thorn, but I think it was
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: the obvious thorn, which will absolutely be talking about. But yeah,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I mean just the referees. They're still human. Like I said,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: we want to keep that human element in the game,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: but humans aren't perfect, so you're still going to see
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: the occasional rough day. I mean, even.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Sam Darnold will probably have a knock on wood rough
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: day at some point this season, but he hasn't.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: But yeah, the refs are probably one of my bigger thorns.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Well, I would say, and you've got it here on
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: our notes. The second half collapse was rough, but I'll
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: get a little more specific with mine, and I think
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: it was it was the play calling. I think, both
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: offensively and defensively, the play calling got really soft, especially
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: in the third quarter when they kind of seemed like
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: they put things on cruise control. And I don't know
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: if that's Kevin O'Connell leading that. I don't know if
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Flores just kind of did his own thing on the
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball and was like, Yeah, we're
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: up by a lot, let's just play a shell coverage
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: and see what happens. Let the ball come to us
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: kind of thing. But all of a sudden, the Packers
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: were moving the ball and the Vikings couldn't do anything.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: It were it was on the offensive side of the ball.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: It was I think it was like something like punt turnover. Punt, Yeah,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: punt turnover or something like that.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: Which we've seen a couple of times already this season,
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: like a hot start and then a slump yep, and
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: then usually they you know, right the ship a little
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: bit towards the end of the game. But yeah, it's
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: not the first time we've seen that.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And to drill down even more specifically into that
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: the defense I think is fine. I do think Brian
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Flores just kind of laid back a little bit knowing
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: that there's what a lot of left thirteen games left
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: in the season, knowing that like, Okay, I don't have to,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: you know, push these guys to the limit on every play.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: I don't have to call all these exotic blitzes and
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: risk injury. We can we can take a little bit
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: of a step back. And I'm not justifying it necessarily,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: but I'm saying, like, maybe that was the game plan. Sure,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: but on the offensive side of the ball, to nitpick
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: a little bit. There were obvious communication issues between Kevin
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: O'Connell and Sam Darnold.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: There were multiple delay of games. There were multiple plays.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Where Sam just looked like a deer in the headlights
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: and just chucked it into the dirt right away. And
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: we've seen this happen now over the course of the
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: last several games. This is not the first time it's happened.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: And so for me, that's the specific thorn that they've
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: got to figure out if they want to beat the
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: best teams in the league and if they want to
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: make a deep run in the playoffs, because you can't
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: have those moments where you have a delay of game,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: because coach and quarterback ground on the same page. You
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: can't have those Oh, I just dumped it down because
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: we didn't read the defense right and they came through
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: the middle, and I know, I had no time to
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: do anything right, Like, you've got to fix those things
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: if you're going to be a playoff caliber team.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, Yeah.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: They were like two straight plays, or at least felt
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: like two straight plays where one was obviously supposed to
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: be a run up the middle, and or it was
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: either supposed to be a run up the middle, you
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: know where Sam Donald just took the snap, turn around
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: and handled the ball off, or it was supposed to
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: be like a run kind of sweep, you know, outside
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: run to the right. The problem is Sam Donald played
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: the run up the middle, turn around, tried to hand
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: the ball off, whereas Aaron Jones played the run to
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: the right and he went wide and within half a second,
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: you just knew the second Sam Donald turned around and
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: tried to hand the ball, he knew like, oh, broken play.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: And he just kind of tried to not lose as
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: many yards he could and just got down, which in
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: a panic situation that's not the worst thing to do,
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: because he could have like tried to like dance.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Around and then do a Nick Mullins and throw it to.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: Throw hero ball, or even get injured because the protection
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: is not where it should be on the desperation thing
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: he was doing. And then I think it was either
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: like the next play after or soon after, there was
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: another one where as soon as the ball was snapped,
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: Sam must have had a quick read and either he
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: didn't know the route tree the receiver's route running well
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: enough on that play, or assumed something that was wrong,
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: or the receiver that was supposed to run a certain
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: route ran a different one and the whole play was
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: up and same thing. It was a broken play. It
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: just looked like he was giving up on it, so
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: he threw it right in the dirt, which again could
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: have been way worse. He could have tried to Michael
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Vikett and run around and play hero ball and try
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: to throw it into one tight are and who knows, interception,
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: some kind of a fumble injury, you know, like at
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: least the quick like, oh crap, we just need to
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: mitigate all losses here and try again the next play.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: But it's that's communication.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: We did see some good things out of Sam Darnold.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: He can run the football.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: We saw that. I think he got at.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Least one first down with his feet, which was awesome,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: to see and he's not afraid to just tuck it
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: and run and see what he can get, which is awesome.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: We also saw something we haven't seen in the first
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: three games of the season in this fourth game against
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: the Packers, where he would throw it away rather than
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: trying to force it and throw an interception.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: We still saw that. We still saw him try to
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: force it.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: There was one that was nearly picked off, and he
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: was fortunate that it wasn't. But I think he's starting
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: to figure it out and he's starting to realize, Okay,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: when the play's broken, when it's about to be a
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: coverage sack down field, got to throw it out of bounds, yep,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: and live to fight another down because I know my
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: head coach, he's going to put the right play in
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: my ear and we're going to keep moving the ball.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: And they've proven that as a team.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's funny because I texted you at one point
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: it was early on, and I said, say, I'm quote
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Michael Vick unquote Darnold because he did he ran for
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: a first down or something like that.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: But I think that the idea that and you hate
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: to see it.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: You hate to see a quick throwaway or a broken
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: play that just feels like a total loss opportunity. But
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: that I'm we're not on the team. We don't know
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: their conversations. That could be coaching, That could be better communication,
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: because maybe that is Koc saying, hey, you know what,
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: I don't care if it's third and fifteen, if you know,
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: if the play happens a certain way, if things break
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: down a certain way, just get out of it. Because
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: it's much better to either try to convert a fourth
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: and fifteen or punt it away than it is to
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: throw an interception or get injured because nobody knows what
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: they're doing and somebody gets blasted, you know, So that
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: that very well could be a situation where Kos's just saying, hey,
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: I'm teaching you, just do this. If it's breaking up,
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: just live to see another play. Total guess maybe it is.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Maybe Kaos is just sitting there like you, what are
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: you doing?
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Well, there was definitely a moment and I texted you this.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell looked frustrated, and I think it might have
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: been one of those delayed games or something where he's
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: just like we had it. It was right there, and
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know there's definitely some stuff that needs to
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: be worked out. I think Kevin O'Connell and Sam Darnold
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: have a really good working relationship already.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: I don't think they would be four and oh.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: If it was this like cold shoulder Mike Zimmer Kirk
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Cousins type of relationship where they don't even talk to
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: each other. I don't think that would be possible with
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: a four and oh start. I think they've got a
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: great relationship and I think they will figure it out,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: and I think they'll continue to.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Gel and we won't see these issues. That's my prediction.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: We won't see these issues in the middle and the
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: later part of the season.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Every year we say teams in week fifteen are not
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: the same team they were in week two. And that's
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: why these guys mesh and gel and the whole team
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: just figures out a little bit more every day how
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: to play with each other. And that is the sign
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: of a good team. If they get better, that means
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: the right things are happening, the right conversations are happening,
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: people are listening and learning, and.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: It's a good thing.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: But all that to say, I feel like we've complained enough.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we need to transition to the positive.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Now we've allowed these thorns to prick us in the
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: side a little too much.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: But the best part, maybe, and this isn't my rose
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: but it could be, is that there's a lot to
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: complain about. But they're four and zero and nothing that
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: we're complaining about is anything that is impossible to overcome.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: It's not like we're sitting here saying, well, yeah we won,
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: but our starting quarterback just blue as Achilles. So now
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: we're on Nick Mullins for the rest of it. Like
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: everything that we're complaining about can be fixed with coaching,
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: or fixed with a few conversations, or.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: With like TJ. Howkinson coming back from injury. Exactly which
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: could happen this week, I think, and we kind of
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: saw because I said a few weeks ago, like, there
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: is the possibility. I'm not predicting this, but there's a
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: possibility where I don't care who it is, if it's
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer, if you add something different into
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: a team that's already working.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: Well, could kind of mess up the mojo. But we
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: just saw Jordan Addison come back after most of the
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: season being gone. He was he played the first what
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: half of the Giants game. Essentially he's been out all season.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: He came back and it was only good for the team.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: I mean he had a rushing and receiving touchdown like
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: and looked good. He was a positive injection for the team,
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: which makes me think all the more that once TJ.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: Hockkinson comes back, and at this point, I don't even
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: care when he comes back to rush him. No, let
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: him be one hundred percent and not a second before that,
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: even if that was to say like for some crazy
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: reason he misses the whole season, Like things are working okay.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: Josh Oliver got his fifth receiving touchdown of his career
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: just this past week, like there are options at tight end.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Johnny Munk got a touchdown too, So it's like an
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: OPRAH episode.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: You get a touchdown and you get a touchdown. Act.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: But all that to say, like this this team, the
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: bad stuff, you could see a route to where it's
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: easily or you know, it's workable, it's fixable. They can
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: improve the good stuff. Obviously it's already working. We're not
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: seeing they're not four and oh because of ten Lucky
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: plays a game. They're actually good, Like Sam Darnold doesn't
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: just Nick mullinsing it down the field and getting lucky
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: every throw. You could argue that one touchdown to Justin
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: Jefferson was kind of lucky because it just dropped in
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: his bread basket. But that's also a ballsy play. Throw
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: that ball and for JJ just took sorry Justin Jefferson,
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: just to like let it come to him and then
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: have the muscle to like complete the catch. That's not
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: a luck play, that's a ballsy play. That that's why
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: I feel so good about this team.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: That play in particular impressed me because Justin Jefferson was
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: able to corral the ball up against his chest and
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: then just manhandle I don't even know who the defender was,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter matter. He made a fool of the
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: guy because he just pushed him out of the way
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: and said get out of here.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: And that was awesome and he knew it too, because
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: oh yeah, Jets was fired up after that, like obviously
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: you just scored an NFL touchdown.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: Who wouldn't be fired up? But he was, like he
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: hit I think I saw it.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: I wish I would have remembered who tweeted it, but
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: they tweeted the video of the catch and then the gritty,
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: and they said that gritty was personal, like, yeah, he
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: did that gritty with some authority, like it's not just
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: a quick little like oh yeah, we're all having fun
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: and dance around, like he affected that gritty right there.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: So we've I think we've been circling around this. But
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: what's your rose? All right?
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: Officially, my rose, and I guess I've kind of said
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: it already, is that this team is good. They they've shown.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Their last three wins are against previous playoff teams and
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: teams that aren't looking like garbage this year. You know,
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: they could be looking better, but they're not looking like garbage.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: They can they can go against anybody in the league,
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: and they can beat anybody in the league. And as
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: long as they don't have another second half, you know,
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: collapse like they did against the Packers, they should beat everybody. Yeah, agreed,
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: And they've proven it. So that's that's definitely my rose.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say the rose for me was that
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: first half.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: And that's it's the obvious answer. It's the gimme answer.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: But I don't you don't get much better, Like I
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: found myself. I was sitting on my couch in the basement,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: just like I love this team. This team is so
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: much fun to watch. I said that out loud. I'm
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: just like, I'm down here by myself, just like hooting
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: and hollering every time something good happens. And yeah, it
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: was so much fun to watch. It was so much
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: fun to watch Sam Darnold just dominate find the open guy.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: It was fun to watch the.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Defense take the ball away and make fools of the
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Packers offense, which, by the way, I would like to
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: point out too, because we didn't really talk about it,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: but everybody was talking about Jordan Love and how he
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: wasn't one hundred percent. It was pretty clear and obvious
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: to me in the first half that he was struggling. Yeah,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: but man, once he got warmed up, that dude bawled out.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: They figured a heck of a game.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they figured something out that worked for the whole
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: Packers team. I mean, we're not delirious they I think
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: I even said if the Vikings, if the football games
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: were sixty two minutes long, the Vikings might have lost
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: that game. Yeah, the Packers are a good team. But
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, not to rain on the first part of
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: your point. Yeah, Packers are good Jordan Love. For a while,
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: I was like, man, they need to take him out.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: He doesn't.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was thinking that, thinking like, man, they should
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: just put Malik Willis back in and roll with that,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: because that seemed to work better in the two games
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: that he started for them.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: But I don't know. That first half was so much
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: fun to watch.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: It was so fun that I kind of like distracted myself. I,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: you know, as a teacher, started grading some stuff while
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: I was watching, and I wasn't like fully invested anymore.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: So I'm like, no, we're up twenty eight nothing. Not
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: a true fanny. I'm a true fan. I'm sorry I
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: should fan, and I don't mean to.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: I just took a shot of apple cider vinegar because
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: because you were wrong, I was wrong.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: True fans don't do that. That's true. That's true.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Anyways, it was a fun game to watch. I'm glad
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: they won. It was definitely stressful at the end. You
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: you pointed out something to me, and this could maybe
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: be how we kind.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Of wrap up.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Bill Belichick was quoted this week saying the Vikings will
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: have to learn how to play from behind if they're
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: going to be successful this year, and that's an interesting
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: point because the Vikings have only played from behind for
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: like four minutes or something, three.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Something, and that was like the first the first quarter
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: of the Giants game. Yeah, they were up three to nothing.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: And then from then on, the Vikings have led in
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: every minute of every game that they've played, or.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: At least not trailed because you know, yeah, could zero
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: zero time. But yeah, it's crazy, yeah, and that's that's
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: the mark of a good team. But you would like
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: to see that well roundedness to know, like, oh crap,
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: if the other team does get up to two touchdowns,
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: to know like, all right, they're capable of turning this
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: around and ultimately winning the game. I will say, and
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: probably my last point of the Packer game. I loved
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: when everybody in the world who is watching that game
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: expected the Vikings late in the game, in the middle
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: of this desperation thing, trying to close the game out
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: and seal the victory.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: They had a.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: Drive where they probably old school should have just tried
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: to run off as much clock as possible, and they
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: made They passed like five straight times, one of them
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: being a seventeen yard completion to Justin Jefferson, which because
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: it worked, kind of jacks you up, and it makes
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: you like love this team and love KOC. But it
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: also shows that they've got he's got trust in Sam
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: Darnold and Jefferson and all the players on that team
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: to be able to still use the passing game to
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: ice I guess the other team out. Yeah, that was
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: a lot of fun and that was probably the drive
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: of the game. Honestly, was that late fourth quarter drive
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: where they should have run the ball but they didn't.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: Well. And I think.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: The way I'll kind of wrap this up is Kevin O'Connell.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: I think either on Monday or today. No, Today's Monday,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Today's Monday. Today is a really long day.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: I felt like two days.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Either in his post game presser or today then, because
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: he has a press conference every Monday too, he was
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: quoted saying something along the lines of this we this
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: win means absolutely nothing. We got to get back to work.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: We've got to fix the things that we've got to fix.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: And I think he's fully aware of the things that
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: they need to fix, and I'm confident that he will
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: fix those things and that he will continue to kind
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: of sharpen both ends of the sword and this this
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: Vikings team could be really dangerous down the stretch.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: If they stay healthy, it's gonna be fun to watch.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: It's kind of scary to think. I need to knock
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: on wood for that one. Yeah, it's scary to think
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: because the running joke on Paul Allen's radio show for years,
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: you know, leading up to the first game of the
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: season for the Vikings every year has been like I'm
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: looking at the schedule and I can't see the first loss.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: I can't find it anywhere. And I mean, we could
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: play that game now. When is the first Vikings loss?
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: Because they're not going undefeated probably, but like I don't know,
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: they might go nine or ten games before they lose, like,
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: or they could lose in London next week, you know,
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: you never know.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Well, before we get to that game, we should maybe
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: finish this beer, yeah, and give our kind of final
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: thoughts on it, and then let's crack this other one
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: open and pour that up.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: You're the Amber guy, You're the red guy. This is
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: your category of choice. What are what are your full
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: thoughts after one full rooster tails red Ale?
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Well, I just finished it and I finished it before you,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: and I think that means that I like it a lot.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: It was really good.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: I also talk a lot, so I give you plenty
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: of opportunity to drink because I just like to hear
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: my own voice every once in a while.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: No, I like this beer a lot. It's it's balanced.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: My first like right off the top was maltiness, Like
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: I could just taste the maltiness, and perhaps that was
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: the contrast of the apple cider. It maybe still coming
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: off of that, but I don't know. I still taste
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: the maltiness, it's still there, but I taste the kind
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: of the tanginess a little bit, kind of more of
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: like a like an ale, which makes sense because it's
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: a red ale. But all in all, it's very easy drinking,
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: very smooth.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: It's delightful. Yeah, I would have it again.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: Everything you just said, I'll also add it's got like
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: really good flavor. But for four and a half percent,
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: it's got more flavor than you would expect.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Usually I picture a.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: Four and a half percenter, and those are your you know,
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: your cores lights, your your bush lights, your bud lights.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: This red Ale it's got a full flavor to it.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: It's not a light beer in any way, and maybe
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: it's a plus. I usually knock down beers that are
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: that lower content. But if you are having a night
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: where you want to have a couple, but you don't
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: want to wake up and feel like garbage the next day,
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: this is a good option, especially in the fall with
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: that red amber.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Be a great one to have, like around a fire,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: or like you're just sitting in the backyard watching the sunset,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: the leaves are falling.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: It's a good painted. Better keep going. Is there a
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: babbling creek?
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: Be a little babbling brook in the background.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Is it like a little foggy you wear a bit
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: from that, you're wearing your flannels.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: Somebody wished out a guitar.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh man, well that's a good beer at four
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: and a half percent.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: Did you see what this other one is?
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this one's gonna bounce it out pretty good. So
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: that that was the Rooster Tails red Ale. It gets
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: the skull Hop stamp of approval. Thank you Titanka for
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: providing this one. Genuinely, it's a it's a really good beer,
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: and so far one for one. Like I said, and
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: I promise if it was garbage, I would I would
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: say it's not the greatest.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: But it is good. I can't say it's not great
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: because it is. Thank you, and we appreciate the free beer,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: so thank you again. Jeff from Titanka. All right, well
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: we've got another one here middle of nowhere, New England,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: i PA.
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: Which is kind of funny because you could argue that
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: Titanka is in the middle of nowhere.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: It kind of is.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we didn't know where it was and we we
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: looked it up. It's north central Iowa, west of clear Lake,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: a little bit immediately south of blue Earth, Minnesota, which
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: is where the Jolly Green Giant green Bean factory is.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: In fact, if you're driving on I ninety, you'll come.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: Across blue Earth.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: And actually this is embarrassing because I don't remember their name,
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: but we met them. We met one of the guys
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: from the podcast. Oh no, we should look that up
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: really quick.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: I'm going to look it up. We met him.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: We met him in Cedar Rapids at Lionbridge Brewery. I
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: remember this now Now Golf podcast.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're gonna mention them once we find them.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: But the guy was from blue Earth and I was like, hey,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: I know where blue Earth is, So there you go.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: Public golf course, public course, golf public of course, golf.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: That is it right there?
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was wearing that shirt that you're wearing tonight,
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: and he thought I was on the skull line. He's
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: always on the drum line for the for the like. No,
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: actually we're a podcast and we ended up talking and
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: we gave his son one of our stickers.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: Ye, so there you go.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: Anyways, Yeah, probably not too far from Blue Earth. Is
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: Titanka Brewery.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Nice?
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Titanka is in Iowa. It is an Iowa brewery.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: Yes, so, and I really hope I usually uh this
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: says Brudon packed in Titanka, Iowa.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: Okay. I just you know.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: Sometimes breweries they they have their cans packed somewhere else.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: But I'd venture to say they probably do all of
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: the canning themselves on location.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: I think, I mean, we can crack these open, yeah,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: but I think as we do that we might have
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: a location to visit on our next brewhouse.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: Maybe maybe keep an eye out.
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: So yeah, like we just said, this is the middle
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: of nowhere, New England.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: I pa any i pa.
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: So we did a red ale amber. That's your wheelhouse.
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: I like them too, but you're definitely the more of
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: an amber guy. Now we're going to the I p
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: as this is fingers. After cracking this open, you're gonna
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: like this. Oh okay, it's really good. Do I need
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: to also lick your figures? No, okay, thank you, I
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: didn't want to do them. You can lick your I
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: had to.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this kind of a so we'll swap it on
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: this one out for that here.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: I think this is the first time we've featured two
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: different beers on the school hot.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: We've done it before, but only because you and I
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: have been in different locations, yes, drinking different beers on
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: our own.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: This is the first time where we've both had the
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: same beers and tried two different beers.
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: And we need to double check that too, maybe like
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: episode one or two. I'm kind of thinking there might
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: be another one.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're right, there was one, but I think in
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: that episode, I think we did a like you tried
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: a I tried to be and then we flip flopped
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: or something like that.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: So still a first, still a first, if not forever,
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: then for a long time that we've done two beers.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: So I'm excited. This is definitely a new England. I PA.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: It's very hazy.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: It's got that citrusy Aroma.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: I cannot see through this at all. There's there is
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: no seeing through this.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: Oh man, I could be I could be wrong. But
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: Citra Hops, that would make sense.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: If they say it on their can, we can look
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: and let everybody know later.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: Citra is my favorite. So if that isn't there, then
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: this is guaranteed either way. Just off the look, the smell,
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: the everything.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: I know, I'm gonna love this. So let's give it
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: to Traf School school in the football mugs. Yeah that's
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: a good one.
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Jeff, I'm gonna need like a case or two
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: or ten of these. This is fantastic. I love Hazy IPAs.
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: I love New England IPAs. If I could only have
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: one kind of alcohol ever, and I had to pick it,
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: it would be a Hazy ipa.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: New England I PA. This, Oh my gosh, this is delicious.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: I love this so much.
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: If you hate i Pas, don't waste your time, because
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: this is such a good I PA that people that
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: hate them, there's no saving grace. You have to love Hops,
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: you have to love Hazy IPAs. If you do, man,
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: you're in for a treat. This is delicious.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: It's definitely got that like that danky flavor that are
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: kind of characteristic of beers like this. It's juicy too,
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: It's it's delicious.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: I like it a lot.
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: This is this is right smack dab. It reminds me
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: of all of my favorite beers. It's I don't know,
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: it's delicious. I wish I had better describing words.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: But I don't. I just I'm almost speechless. This is amazing.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: There you go, and I'm excited to very quickly drink
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: the rest of this. Well, we can take our time.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: We don't have to let you know, we don't have
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: to chug it here. That's true. I mean I don't
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: want to disrespect it by chugging you a bit. Man.
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: I like it a lot, Jeff. I may be reaching
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: out to you and to seeing you about how to
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: how I can pay for personal shipment of these beers,
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: because that's delicious. Well, let's look ahead, Vikings while we
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: drink this awesome beer that we were provided by Taitanka.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: We're very grateful for that. Also, it's hard to knock
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: a good beer. But maybe we should have done this
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: in reverse order, because this green here looks an awful
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: lot like Jet green.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: This is more Jet green than even Packer green. Yeah,
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: it's that. It's okay. The beer itself is not green.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: The beer makes up for it. But anyways, the Vikings
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: are playing the Jets. The Vikings are hosting quote unquote.
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it'sically a home game for the Purple in London.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: Is it at which stadium? Is it at Wimblee or Tottenham?
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: I'll look it up really quick. I believe it's in.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: Anyways, while you're looking that up, Aaron Rodgers and the
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: Jets looked bad against the Denver Broncos, and the Denver
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: Broncos looked bad as we but the Broncos snuck out
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: with a wind, which is crazy because I think I
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: saw something that there was some like NFL record for
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: bo Nix was the first quarterback to win after having
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: like less than two yards per completion or something crazy
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I didn't watch that game. I didn't either.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: I've heard the weather.
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: Wasn't great, which excuse me, kind of added to the
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: Jets not being able to do anything. But oh well,
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: like everybody faces weather at some point, so I don't know.
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: I do know Aaron Rodgers has a tendency to pout
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: if things aren't going his way.
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: It already kind.
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: Of seemed really he does that, I know, all right,
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: the crappy thing is at least for a long time,
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: when Aaron Rodgers pouted, one of two things happened. He
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: either totally collapsed or seemed like every time against the
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: Vikings he turned into some crazy, maniacal superman and threw
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: for ten thousand yards and pulled something out of his
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: button won the game. So I hope that doesn't happen.
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: I hope he pouts and totally collapses again.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: That would be great.
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: But yeah, judging by the way this last game, just
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: seeing the box score, I'm not too afraid of the Jets.
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: I'm more afraid of the travel and the coming off
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: of a bad second half for the Vikings.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm afraid of.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: And the hype of playing in the London game and
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: all that. Granted that's not as it's not as big
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: of a deal as it used to be because there
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: used to only really be one or two international games
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: a year and they expanded it out to quite a few.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: So it's at Tottenham, yeah what I'm saying.
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And Tottenham's the one that I think the NFL,
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: either they themselves built or the NFL has some kind
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: of ownership. They at least had a hand, and I
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: think the construction of that stadium a handful of years ago.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: I think it's the preferred stadium if you're an NFL
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: team visiting London. I think you'd rather play at Tottenham
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: than Wembley.
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: Is it?
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: Although and that's not to say Wembley's a garbage arena.
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: I think no, it's a kind of historically great arena.
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: But for American football specifically.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: I think Wembley was built for soccer. Yeah, obviously, Yeah,
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: I think Tottenham, like you've said, and I guess I
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: didn't even know that until you said it, but it
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: sounds like Tottenham was built maybe with football in mind. Yeah,
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: maybe more soccer, but with football in mind.
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: There's something I.
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: Don't know, if it's like the NFL as a whole
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: has some kind of ownership, or if it's something like
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: as simple as the Jaguars owner has some kind of ownership.
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: There's some official partnership other than just the NFL plays
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: a few games there every year. It's like an official
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: business partnership. And like I said, there was also some
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: decision making by the NFL on how that arena was constructed,
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: So it's gonna be a little bit more geared towards
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: being more well rounded. Obviously they play soccer there, but if.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: We've got any experts out there, feel free to drop
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: a comment and educate us. We'd like to know if
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: if there's any knowledge to be learned about how Tottenham
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: was built.
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: Although I do think and you talk about playing services
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: all the time in football, specifically for American football in London,
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: and players have had a tendency not to outright complain
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: about like the field turf there, which I think both
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: stadiums have natural grass, but that is the stadium the
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: Vikings will be playing in the stadium that Lewis scene
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: had his horrific injury a few years ago, which a
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: good point and it's not just because of the field
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: surface why he got injured, but it's still something to
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: think about.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, Well they're traveling to London. It's going
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: to be obviously an odd game for both teams. The
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: travel alone is crazy, the adjustment to a different time zone,
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: the jet lag, all that is a lot to overcome.
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: The jet lag, jet the school lag. I was just
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: gonna say, hopefully it's a lag of jets, lack lack
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: of jet and I say it's terrible.
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: I've had too many of these middle of Nowher's here
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: and I'm only halfway into my first.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: One, So I see where you're going with that one,
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: and I like it. Actually it makes sense. Anyways, Thanks
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: for humoring me. I appreciate it. No, I think these
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: international games they take a lot out of an organization.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: It takes a lot for your support staff to play in,
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: like your equipment staff, your operation staff. They've got to
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: figure out how to get gear onto an airplane, not
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: a bus. I guess they're they're flying.
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: In in the US.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: But like to get it over to a different country
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: and go through customs all that.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: That's that's a lot.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: And then yeah, you're playing on a surface that's not
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: built for football necessarily.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: That's different.
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: Your body isn't used to being awake. At the same time,
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: there's different food, different and stuff available to you over there.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: Stuff that like you could walk down the store to
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: a Walgreens or a CVS and get whatever you need here,
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: and you might not get that in London.
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: You know, you just don't know.
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: So all of that to say, it's an adjustment for
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: both teams, and I think the better coached team will
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: win on Sunday morning.
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: And at this.
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: Point, yes, we drink the purple kool aid and we
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: are Vikings Homers, but I don't think there's any question
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: which team is better coached at this point overall on
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: the field, off the field, everything like that. I think
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: the Vikings are miles ahead of the Jets right now,
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: as proven by the fact that the head coach and
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers Robert Salah is that his name sale. They
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: have had like public arguments on the field and they
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: try to laugh them off, but I don't know. It
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: reminds me of Kirk cousin Mike Zimmer and yelling at him.
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: So, I think the Jets, of all the teams the
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: Vikings could play, I think the Jets are a good choice.
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: I just like I said, I'm more concerned about the logistics.
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: I think we would see TJ. Hockinson back earlier than
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: we will because they're playing in London. Not that he
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: would have played in this week's game if it wasn't
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: in London, but I think it just delays it a
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: little bit longer. Yeah, I just think that's going to
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: be more of a hurdle. On top of the idea
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: that the Vikings just kind of es the bed in
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: the second half of their most recent game. I think
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: that's it's going to be more mental, more internal for
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: the Vikings than facing the Jets.
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: And I think Kevin O'Connell in his press or again,
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: it wasn't Tuesday.
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: It was either after the game yesterday or today. I
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: looked at a lot of stuff. I watched a lot.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: Of footage, but I think he set the stage well
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: for his team too. This win means nothing. Is it
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: huge to get a divisional win? Yeah, let's celebrate that
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: in the locker room and maybe on the bus ride home.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: But from then on, we got to get back to
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: work and we've got a lot of stuff to clean up.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: And we played a miserable second half of football where
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: we nearly lost a twenty eight point lead, Like, we
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: have a lot to figure out, And the Jets might
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: be looking at that thinking like, all right, this is
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: how we bounce back. This is a trap game for
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: the Vikings. Let's take advantage of it.
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: It's crazy. I think that this year the Vikings have
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: any trap games like that's.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: Right, and I don't necessarily think that way, but I
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: think the Jets could be thinking that way.
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: I agree with you.
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: I think it could be looked at as a trap game, yeah,
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: for sure. So keys to victory what do you think
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: are What are the Vikings need to make sure to do.
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: The Kevin O'Connell led Vikings have proven that if they
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: score first, they're more likely to win, So I think
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: they need to score.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: First or score early. At the very least. It's tough
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: control who gets the ball first.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: You never know how the coin flip's gonna go, and
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: even if you win the coin flip, you may opt
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: to kick it first and take the ball in the
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: second half, which is typically what teams do. So it's
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: not necessarily score first, but I think it's score early,
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: and I think it's score often because that was the
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: key to the victory against the Packers, right, It was
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: scoring early and often. If they would not have built
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: up that twenty eight point lead, if they would have
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: had a few duds of drives where they went three
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: and out and punted, they would have lost that game
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: because the Packers would have roared back in the second
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: half and it would have been twenty nine to twenty
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: four or something instead of thirty one twenty nine. So
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: I think you've got to score early and score often.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: And I'm stealing one of yours because it's important. They
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: have to win the turnover battle. They have to or
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: at least tie it.
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: They've got to tie it or win it. They won it.
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: I think it was they. Yeah. I think they ultimately
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: won on it against one.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Vikings only turned it over three times and
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: the Packers turned it over four. So to me, until
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: the Vikings lose a game and do those things, that's
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: the key to victory.
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: Score first, or score.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: Early and often like they did against the Packers, and
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: win the turnover battle. They do those two things, it's
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: basically kryptonite to the other team, the Vikings are gonna win.
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's two important things that have seemed to have
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: proven themselves out for Kevin O'Connell as the Vikings head coach.
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: You hit the nail on the head the turnover battle.
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: Every time he has and every Vikings fan has heard
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: this stat for the last week or two or year
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: that every time Kevin O'Connell wins or ties the turnover
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: battle he wins, he's twenty one to oh as the
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: Vikings head coach with that stat. Another very important thing
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: is Kevin O'Connell. I think he's like twenty or twenty
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: one and eight. When his starting quarterback is healthy, that's huge.
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: That's important.
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: That means that his leading up, his game plan, leading
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: up his communication with that QB is very important. And
• 55:13
  Speaker 3: not that the quarterback is the only one doing anything,
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: but it's no secret quarterback is the most important position
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: in football, maybe in all of sports. So when Kevin
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: O'Connell has his guy healthy and they win the turnover
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: battle as a team, the Vikings are basically unstoppable. Kevin
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: O'Connell is basically unstoppable as a coach. So those are
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: the very important things for sure.
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: Interestingly enough, the coin is the only one to correctly
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: predict the Vikings record to this point. Interesting of all
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: of the picks that we made preseason. So we flipped
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: the coin infamously, still.
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: Have it right.
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it wasn't the football, it was the bigger mugs.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: So yeah, we got we got the quarter that went
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: into the beer. Might be you know, starting to rust
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: a little with the beer who knows. But anyways, of
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: all the picks that we made the coin, you, your wife,
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: your kids, me, my wife, my kids, the coin is
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: the only one to be perfect so far. Everyone else.
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: This is interesting to me as well. Everyone else either
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: predicted one and three or two and two at the pointing,
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: so we're all at least two games behind.
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: And we had both predicted a one in three. Yeah
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: record yep as of right now as correct.
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: No, you picked two and two. You had them winning
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: the Giants and the Packers, but losing to the Niners
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: and the Texans. I had them losing all three of
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: those I had. I think we all kind of figured
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: they'd beat the Giants, which they did. Yeah, And I
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: had them losing to the Niners, Texans, and Packers. I
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: have them winning against the Jets.
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, so well, I know preseason I had him winning.
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: But I guess you're sticking with that pick.
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: My official guess. I'll give a score too. Even with
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: the things that scare me, the travel, the recent scare,
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: which I think ultimately will be a good thing because
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: it's something to work on. It feels like a loss
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: without actually having to lose. Even with all that, I
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: think the Vikings are going to win handedly and it's
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: going to be a thirty five to twenty game for
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: the Vikings.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: Wow, yeah, that's a that's a fifteen point win.
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: And that is factoring both the Vikings being good and
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: the Jets kind of collapsing a little bit. So that's
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: my official prediction. I try to talk myself out of it.
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to say, stop stop predicting wins, Austin. Stop
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: feeling like they're gonna, you know, go and do the
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: whole thing, because they're not going to do it. We're
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: Vikings fans. They've never done it. We joked about it
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: before we recorded twenty sixteen when they started five, we
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: could have been saying the same thing. It feels like
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: a very similar team to twenty sixteen, and it didn't
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: happen that year. They went eight and eight overall and
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: missed the playoffs. So I'm trying to tell myself, calm down,
• 58:12
  Speaker 3: it's not gonna work out. They might make the playoffs,
• 58:14
  Speaker 3: but no.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: But pretty significant difference though, between the twenty twenty four
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: Vikings and the twenty sixteen Vikings. And that's not that
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: they it's that day. Sorry I said that came out
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: wrong this seven percent of man, I know you're only
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: halfway in. It's because Sam Darnold has been around basically
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: through all of training camp and stuff. That's true there
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: for Ota, it wasn't this desperation move, because in twenty
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: sixteen it was oh crap, Teddy Bridgewater, his knee just
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: stopped being a knee.
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: It just like ceased to exist anymore.
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: It got the snapped, is what it happensne I would
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: love to know the actual details. We were going to
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: talk to a guy later this week that might have
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: some unofficial information and I'm just guessing because he's more
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: connected than I am.
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: Than we are. But anyways, the.
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: Ending to that story is they went out and signed
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: Sam Bradford, and Sam played well.
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: He set at the time, he broke the NFL record
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: for completion percentage. It has since been broken, but at
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: the time it was still really good seventy and it
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: was a good signing by Rix Bielman to go out
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: and get the guy. And unfortunately the rest of the
• 59:28
  Speaker 3: team didn't play as well as maybe you would have hoped.
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: And then that led to the seventeen season, which surprisingly,
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: Sam Bradford's knee decided to do something similar.
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it just that was weird, and the soreness.
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: Case Keenum takes over and they go the NFC Championship
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: game case.
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: Keenum is the definition of hero ball. He just threw
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: it up and didn't care and it just ended up working.
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: For most of the season. That was a lot of fun.
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: But I will say twenty sixteen it was also different
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: because those first five games, the defense was on a
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: historic run of scoring and turnovers and doing things that
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: both led to wins and were unsustainable. You can't bank
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: on your defense scoring a touchdown or two every game,
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: and if that's the way you're winning, it's not gonna
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: last very long because that's not sustainable. You can have
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: a good defense, but you can't consistently have a high
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: powered scoring defense.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: And I think this year's Vikings defense, the twenty twenty
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: four Vikings defense, isn't that. They're not like fluky, Oh,
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: you scored a bunch of touchdowns and won your teams
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: and games. They have turned the ball over, they have
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: forced some key stops on third and fourth down, and
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: they've given the ball back to the offense to do
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: the job of the offense. Right, Like, Yeah, they've had
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: a few splashy moments, and I think we've had a
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: few defensive touchdowns, which is great. But I think that's
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: a key difference too. The defense is playing its role.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: The defense is doing its job. Brian Flores has these
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: guys primed and ready to go out every week to
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: make the opposing team's offense job difficult. They've turned the
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: ball over quite a bit, and they've put the ball
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: back in the hands of Kevin O'Connell in the offense
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: to go score points.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: And that's how we've won games in these first four games.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I definitely like our chances too. Yeah, but
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: I think my score prediction is lower.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: Again.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to continue to side with the defense here, okay.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: And it's not that I don't have faith in the offense.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: It's just that the defense has played so stinking good.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: And I don't know what happened in the third quarter
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: and the fourth quarter specifically against the Packers. I think
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: it was more that the Packers figured something out, unless
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: the Vikings didn't know what was going on. But I
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: think it's low scoring the Packers. Did the Packers even score?
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: Not the Packers.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers I keep thinking the Packers the Jets. Did
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: the Jets even score a touchdown?
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: We can look, I know, ten to nine.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: Yep, I don't think he's I don't think they scored
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: a touchdown. I think they kicked three field goals if
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, but correct me, please if I'm wrong,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: you got it right here? No, oh, that's the Broncos.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: Doesn't look like any touchdowns. So three field goals for
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: the Jets. Yeah, three out of four attempts. Okay.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: So with that information, my official score prediction is twenty
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: to ten.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: I think the field gives the Vikings offense and fits.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: I think the travel gives the Vices offense and fits,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: but the defense figures it out. They allow one touchdown.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: Twenty to ten. Okay, Vikings over the Jets.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: Sorry, I'm I'm just a little distracted because we have
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: the Monday night games, which is so dumb. There's only
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: be one Monday Night game, but tonight there's two. We
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: have both of them going on in front of us
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: right now. And there seemed to have been a decent
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: injury to one of the players in the Seahawks Lions game,
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: and you know me, it sounds like injuries. I like
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 3: to film low quality videos and talk over them so
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 3: people can see slow mo how the injury happened. But
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: it didn't look like it was too bad of an injury,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: So I apologize for being distracted the last few minutes.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: Gino Smith was definitely under dress there.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think they're looking at it to see
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: if he got the ball off or if it was
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: a sack. It looks like the Lions are gonna end
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: up winning, But which is There's still a quarter left.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 3: It's thirty five to twenty at the end of the
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: third quarter. The Lions are looking pretty high powered. This
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 3: is not a Lions podcast, but it is the Vikings
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 3: and they're in the in the NFC North. Who knows,
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 3: maybe the Seahawks. I'm rooting for the Seahawks to win
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: tonight because any division rival losing is a good thing,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 3: oh for sure, even if it means the Seahawks continue
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: to be a fellow undefeated team for at least another week.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: Well, I think I said this before we started officially recording,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: but December twenty second.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Vikings at Seahawks.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, which is always They're never in Minnesota.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: It's going to be.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: It seems like every year the Vikings play the Seahawks
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 3: and it's always in Seattle, and it's really annoying.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: Well, circle that one on your calendar because I think
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: that's going to be a that's going to be a
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: phenomenal game to watch. Even though Seattle is losing by
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: fifteen right now to the Lions with fifteen minutes.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: Of football to play. Yep, I don't know. Seattle is
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: a good football team.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: They've kind of figured it out and Gino Smith is
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: kind of directed his career a little bit. He's got
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: DK Metcalf and a few other weapons around him to
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: make stuff happen. The defense is looking pretty stout, not
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: tonight because.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: They've allowed thirty five points.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: But Hey, that game, I think that could be a
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: like NFC playoff seating type of thing because I think
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: that's what like week thirteen or fourteen, it's near the
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: end of the season. Yeah, so circle that one on
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: your calendars and buckle up, because that's gonna be a
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: good one, I think. So.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 3: I think we've talked talked the Packer game, We've kind
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: of previewed the Jet game. I've got one question for
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 3: you that's not on our outline.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: Here, are you ready for some football? Always?
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 3: That's not the question, though, Okay, this you're gonna know
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 3: exactly what I'm getting at the second I asked this question.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 3: And you might roll your eyes and this might get
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 3: us nowhere. But let's play pretend and say that the
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 3: phone rings, and you're and the phone rings, and it's
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 3: a magic phone. The call is coming from any team
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 3: you want, offering a swap, one for one swap of
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: starting quarterbacks Sam Darnold for anyone in the league right now,
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: starting quarterback in the league right now. Who who would
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: you take? Let's because this is theoretically any other team,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 3: who would you take? And we can go down the
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 3: list and I can tell you when I would stop.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: Does that make sense? Do I have to pick?
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 3: So you just say right now, like because there's one
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: obvious answer, like instantly, yes, we'd make that one for
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 3: one trade right away. Are you inferring Patrick Mahomes, I'm saying,
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 3: Pat Mahomes, instantly, we would trade one for one.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: I don't onn tracked for contract everything. I don't even
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: know that I would do that. WHOA, I don't know
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: that I would do it? All right?
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: Explain it because I don't know that there's chemistry there.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: I think I like the chemistry that Sam Darnold and
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell have.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: I'm blown away right now.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't care how good Patrick Mahomes is. Okay,
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: he's well one, he's a drama queen. Yeah, though he's
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: a good player. He's a really good football player. And
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: I think he works really well in Andy Reid's system.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: And and I'll even just admit, because I'm a coach myself,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: Andy Reid has in some ways kind of a hands
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: off approach to the offense, like.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: What it feels like.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he'll call the plays and he'll mean he's he's
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: a pretty pretty smart offensive dude.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: But like he he puts a.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: Lot of control in the hands of Patrick Mahomes and
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: the rest of the offense, Like he's it's widely known
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: that he lets them drop their own plays.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: We saw like some of these weird like all right,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: we're gonna do this weird circle dance in the huddle.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: And then we're gonna go out and you know, do this.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: And we've seen Patrick Mahomes do the weird like shovel
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: pass thing and did the Seahawks. Just Seahawks just scored
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: a touchdown. Oh all right, anyways, all.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: Right, okay, so you're you're on, Let me finish, Let
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: me finish.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: So I appreciate the open handedness as a head coach
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: and not the like micromanaging I'm gonna do everything for
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: you and you just go out there and do what
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: I tell you to do kind of thing. I can
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: appreciate that as a as a coach because that's in
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: some ways how I try to coach.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: I try to put control in.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: My athlete's hands and let them go out and perform
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: and let them do what I am confident they can do. Sure,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: all of that to say, I don't know that that's
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: how Kevin O'Connell operates as a head coach, and I
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: don't know that Patrick Mahomes and Kevin O'Connell.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: Would work well together.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: I think we would see a lot of this Mike
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: Zimmerkirk Cousins type of thing. I think we would see
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: a lot of the Robert Sala Aaron Rodgers type of
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: tension that can exist and we've seen exist between head
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: coach and starting quarterback. I love the dynamic right now
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: between Sam Donald and Kevin O'Connell, and I think it's
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: so underrated, and I think it's so underappreciated in the
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: league that like there, I don't know that there's a
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: player or a dollar amount or anything. For me. If
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: I'm in Quaysy a doofa Menza's office and I have
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: his job and I have his phone, I don't know
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: that there's really any scenario that I make any changes
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 3: And to be clear, this was a totally MakeBelieve question
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 3: where it's not Quasy making the call trying to do
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 3: everything he can, it's me. It's the other team calling
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: Quaycy saying we need Sam Donald and we just need
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 3: one for one swap. My question was who would it
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 3: need to be, and like who who wouldn't you do
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 3: that swap for? Okay, Well that changes it a little, Okay, Okay.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 3: I guess maybe I didn't explain myself well enough.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: I was thinking, like I'm on the Viking side, like
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: that things are were four, No, things are rolling.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 3: Because obviously, if Quacy was trying to call and trade
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 3: Donald for Mahomes, obviously that would that would include multiple multiple,
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 3: multiple first round picks. The answer might no matter what
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 3: be no which it should be as far as the
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 3: chiefs are concerned. But this was the hypothetical, who would
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 3: you take over Sam Donald? Really is what I'm asking.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: And I still I don't know.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: I still kind of hold to like, I don't know
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: that I would take anybody, anybody for the purpose of chemistry.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It's it's a tough question.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, Joe Burrow, perhaps Josh Allen, perhaps Lamar Jackson.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 3: I'm saying anybody, okay, one for one, I would say
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 3: if I had to pick, not that you have to pick,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 3: you don't have to pick, the answer could be nobody.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 3: Still I'm gonna still say nobody. But if there were
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 3: a scenario where a decision had to be made and
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 3: there was no other option, like you can't say no,
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 3: then it would probably be Josh Allen. I think he's
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 3: proven to be the best quarterback. I think getting a
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 3: guy like Stefan Diggs off of that team in Buffalo
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 3: has really opened things up. Buffalo looks scary.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: They look good, even though didn't they just live lost
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: it still, but they look like a really good football team,
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: and I think getting it's a stretch. I think to
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: say a cancerous player but getting getting a difficult personality
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: out of your locker room opens things up.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's much of a stretch.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 3: As far as Stefan Diggs is concerned. I think you
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 3: could accurately call him, put him in the category of
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 3: locker room cancer. Okay, not to belong this anyway, Let's
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 3: kind of switch the question up a little bit. This
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 3: is for not just the rest of the season, but
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 3: for the future.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: Anybody, would you trade Sam Donald for anybody? I don't
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: think so.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: What about JJ McCarthy, Well, I would say, and I
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: think you've You've stirred the pot a little bit with
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: some of our social media accounts on this topic already,
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: and I like that. I'm okay with stirring the pot
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: a little bit. I'll do it from time to time.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: I would like to see the Vikings bring Sam Donald
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: back after this season. I think he's already proven through
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: four games that he's worthy of another contract, even if
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: it's just another year, like another one year.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: What was it ten million this year? That's not what
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: it would be.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: But let's let's say it's one year fifteen million.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: I think you're looking at at least double that. I
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: think can you think thirty.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 3: If it gets to the point that you're fighting to
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 3: keep Sam Donald, it means he had a great year.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 3: He won a playoff game or two, or the unthinkable.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 3: I think the number starts at thirty.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: Well. I think the good news for the Vikings is
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: the cap hits of Daniel Hunter and Kirk Cousins will
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: be completely off the books next year, which I think
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: opens up a ton of cap space. And I'm certainly
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: not a cap expert, but I think you could maybe
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: afford to keep Sam Donald, keep JJ McCarthy, keep Justin Jefferson,
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: keep Christian Darris, keep TJ.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: Hawkins, and keep.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know that you have to really get rid
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: of any I think you keep Sam Donald. I think
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: you continue this draft and developmenttality that the Packers have
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: proven is super effective with the quarterbacks for the last
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: forty years of their existence as a franchise. I don't
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: think you rush JJ McCarthy into service. I also don't
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: think think you rush to market and try to sell
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy for whatever you get him. Like I think
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: you keep him. I think you tell him, hey man,
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: we're glad you're healthy again.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: We want you. QB two competition.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: That's the way she goes and we want you to
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: Like you saw how successful this can be with Sam
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: Darnold last year, we think we can be even better
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: with you. Like I think that you're you're telling JJ
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: McCarthy that in in those back hallway conversations, like Sam's
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: killing it right now, But we drafted you for a reason,
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: and just keep keep your nose to the grindstone. Let's go,
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: let's do this thing, and let's go let's do what
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs have.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: Done with Patrick Mahomes.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: Let's do what you know, you know fill in the
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: team has done over the course of history in the NFL.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: Let's let's do a little dynasty thing here.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 3: I agree, And I'm definitely in the mindset that right
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 3: now of not don't sign him right now. I know
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 3: on social media have kind of stirred the pot saying
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 3: that right now, and.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: Trey JJ McCarthy, I obviously don't believe that.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 3: I'm just looking for likes and comments, but I do
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 3: think if things keep trending the way they are right now,
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 3: you gotta try to keep Sam Donald. And one thing
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 3: that helps the Vikings is Sam Donald kind of needs
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 3: the Vikings or koc as much as the Vikings would
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 3: in theory need a very good Sam Donald because it's
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 3: a win win for sure. Yeah, outside of outside of
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 3: Shanahan last season, Donald hasn't had a good situation and
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 3: he's never had a good situation.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: As the starter.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 3: So you could argue that Sam Donald would be incentivized
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 3: to stay in Minnesota, even if it meant he took
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 3: a little bit of a discount. But even in that situation,
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 3: the discount would mean thirty million rather than forty million
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 3: a year.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: Something like that.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 3: Hopefully we get to our about this in January February,
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 3: that'd be great.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: I hope it's more like February March.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's all a moot point. If things go
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 3: south starting this week against the Jets.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: Well we got to start there. We got to start
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: with that game and we got to keep things rolling.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: You hope that the Vikings can do that against the
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: Jets for sure, and then after that you get a
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: week off, which is helpful for the team.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 3: Not they go Jets and then did I miss something?
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 3: I think I just totally missed over what you said.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 3: It's Jets and then Lions and then a week off.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: No, no, Jets Bye week Lions. Interesting. Okay, you're going
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: to that game, aren't you, am? Yeah, so you're right.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 3: I thought they didn't have I think it was last
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 3: time they went to London they didn't have the buy
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 3: it Jets.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: Ye by Lions. You're right. I'm sorry, I'm the idiot,
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: dun set. It's all good.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: We'll just make you take a shot of apple side
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: of it and it's really good for you.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: Did you know that? Yeah, it'll make it'll limber up
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: my joints. It might make me sick.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: Well, anyways, it should.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: Be a good game. I'm excited to watch it. I
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: might have to watch.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: It like in retrospect because it's like prime church time.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna be out of town, returning home from
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 3: the land of Darkness of Wisconsin this weekend and driving
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 3: home during the game, so I'll either be watching it
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 3: on my phone in the car, or I might just
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 3: maybe we should just plan to get together and watch
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 3: the game after.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: In the afternoon. Yeah, yeah, we'll figure it out. We'll
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: figure it out.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: But anyways, it should be a good game regardless. Hopefully
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: the Vikings can pull it out and we could roll
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: into the bye week with a five and o Vikings team.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: Knock on Wood.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: That would be a lot of fun. We had some
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: great beer tonight.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I kind of. I don't have anything to scull.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 3: I drink it too fast, Tatanka. This middle of nowhere
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 3: is freaking delicious.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: It's good. I like it.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 3: It's up there for me, like I've had one and
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 3: I can already say. I could say after one sip
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 3: it's there. This is and maybe it's me. Maybe I'm
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 3: simple and easily pleased. But as far as New England,
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 3: i PA's goes, I don't know. This is hard to
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 3: beat for me.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: You need to get one more and just that was it.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: That's all we had. That's true.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well we have more Tatanka beer. We do, but
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: we need to we need to say that maybe next week,
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: maybe the week after. We got some Keg Creek beer
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: as well in there. So, but we filled up the
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: school hot fridge. We're ready for like probably two or
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: three weeks.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Titark.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 3: If you ever want to send any more, also, I
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 3: will be reaching out because I will want to purchase
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 3: my own case or more of this middle of nowhere.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 3: It's delicious, So I guess that's what I have to
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 3: say about it?
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: What do you think?
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: Well, yes, great, of course I'm going to gravitate more
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: towards the Rooster Red.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: That was a fantastic beer. Love it.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: I would I would have more than you would have
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: of the Middle of Nowhere because I could probably stomach
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: a few more because it's four.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: And a half seven and a half person. But both
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: were really good.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: Definitely we need to put that on the list of
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: places to visit summer of twenty twenty five.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: We can make it.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 3: I don't know the exact drive time, but yeah, absolutely,
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 3: just off beer alone.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: I think I think we can figure it out.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: And I think one of the breweries that was on
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: our list that we didn't get to this year is
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: in that area.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: We can make that work.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: We can do more of a like a Northern Iowa
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: tour of Iowa breweries. Anyways, Yeah, definitely check them out
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: if you can find it.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know do they distribute anyway, And I think
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 3: Jeff was saying they're not just distributing a whole ton
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 3: right now. But I gotta believe if you reach out
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 3: to them and just say you're interested, they'd figure out
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 3: how to make that happen. I'm literally about to go
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 3: through that process right now and figure out how I
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 3: can get something shipped. I know, shipping alcohol can get
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 3: a little hairy. I don't know the exact rules, but
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 3: they're they're really good. Should be available everywhere. Yeah, I
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 3: like them.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe we can update people next week on how
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: that went for you. But anyways, Titanka Brewery, Uh, we
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: love your beer. We're very very grateful that you sent
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: us several and we're excited to try some more in
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: the not too distant future.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 3: Hey, if people wanted to reach out to us the
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 3: way Jeff from Titanka did, how how would they go
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 3: about that?
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: I would say, go to the big Tip, not top, big,
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: big time, big time.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: These seven percenters, they really they really get you in
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: the words.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 3: We've got a website to go to the big time
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 3: social media sites is what I was trying to say.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 3: We're so used to saying big top, big tip, big
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 3: big time social media.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: The big top for sponsoring this episode, No Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok,
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: We're on all of those. Those are probably the biggest
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: ones that were primarily on all the time and would
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: see a notification or a message from but you can
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: email us at the school Hop at gmail dot com.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: We have a website at the school Hop dot com.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you can find everything from our website and if
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 3: nothing else, just googled the skull Hop, yes.
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: And you'll find us there. Yeah. Oh, did you see
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 2: somebody bought another shirt?
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's gonna be another one of these skull Hop shirts.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 3: So you remember a couple of weeks ago we said, hey,
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 3: did you buy another shirt? Because a couple of weeks
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 3: ago somebody bought a shirt. I figured out who that was.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Brian. Brian bought a shirt. He bought a
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 3: red one. Though it's this in red. It almost looks like.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: A cheap shirt the way printed off. He likes it though,
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: all right.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 3: But then after that, like a couple of days ago,
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 3: somebody bought a shirt and I don't know who it was.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 3: It was today, today, it was today. If it was
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 3: you let us know, because that's super cool. I'm super
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 3: jacked about that. Yeah, we only get like a dollar, but.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: I don't care.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 3: We could get zero dollars like that's that's super cool
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 3: to know that somebody's got one of our school Hop shirts.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: That's pretty awesome. We appreciate it, and we appreciate the support.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: We appreciate the free beer from Tatanka, and we'll definitely
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: be having more soon, absolutely, and we're definitely going to
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: be talking about.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 3: Hopefully at a win against the Jets. A win against
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 3: the Jets, because who has to spin the wheel if lose?
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 2: Does anybody have to spin the wheel?
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: If the Vikings lose, we both have to spin the
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: wheel because we both picked them to win. Everybody picked
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: the Vikings to win this week against the Jets, the coin,
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: you me, our wives, our kids.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: It's a win across the board.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 3: Let's let's hope we don't have to spin the wheel next,
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 3: all right, school.
