Vikings 1st Pre-Season Game Recap, A Collab Beer, and Purple Punishments Reveal | TSH Ep. 151 · The Skol Hop

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right, Hey, Vikings fans, welcome into another episode of
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: the School Hop. I'm Evan, I'm Austa. There's a couple
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: of dudes from Iowa. We like drinking beer and talking
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: about the Vikings.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we do, and we had a really good collaboration
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: beer tonight. That man, we came really close to breaking
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: our Iowa only beer rule.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: It was close, but it was a really good beer.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: It was still brewed on Iowa soil, so we're still good.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: We also had to talk about the Vikings first preseason game.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and we can really only put so much stock
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: into that because it's a preseason game, but it's always
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: nice to see the Vikings win a football game.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: School. Finally, we previewed this year's Wheel of Punishments. I
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: don't think we've ever done a preview of the Wheel,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: so if you're looking for a treat, you might want
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: to tune into the second half of the episode.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I really can't wait to see you do some
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: of those punishments because it's gonna be a good time
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: and it definitely deserved a preview because this year we've
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: got some good.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Well, wherever you are, whatever you're drinking, grab a cold
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: one join us for episode one of the School Hot
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: School School.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: All right, let's drink some beer.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's do that.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: This one I'm really excited about. I don't believe we've
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: ever had this one. I feel like it's got to
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: be fairly new. It's called Brewed Together, and the main
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: logo on it is Green Tree Brewery. But this is
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: a collaboration from like a lot of the if you
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: know the quad cities Iowa and Illinois. You know, like
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: there's some pretty prominent breweries around here, and this beer
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: was collaborated by most of those pretty prominent breweries. Importantly,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: let's just get this out in the open right now.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: This on the can, at least it says it's brood
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: and canned by Green Tree Brewery in Leclaire, Iowa. So
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: this does follow our rule of which I don't think
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: we've spoken out loud for quite a while now, but
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: our rule of drinking Iowa only beers. So while there's
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: a couple of Illinois breweries represented in this collaboration, at
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: least was brood in Iowa. So that's that follows the
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: rule to me, Evander.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, if it was brewed on Iowa soil, Yeah,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: it can be a collaborative effort, just like we've done
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: school hot beers with front of the show Forest who
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: lives in Illinois, but it was brewed here in Iowa
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: at your house. Both times we brew to Goal High.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: We need to do another one. Yeah, and I think
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: we've talked. I did a beer, we talked about it
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago. I did October Fest with
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: him recently, can't have it on the episode. So this
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: one I'm really excited about. Brewed together probably spearheaded by
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: a Green Tree, but a lot of other expertise from
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: around the area put a lot of work into this.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: There was some kind of explanation that I was going
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: to read off, but I opened the can already. I
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: don't know if you can see. It's like a little
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: paragraph and maybe it's just listing out all the breweries.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all. It is an exciting brewing collaboration featuring Adventurous,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: which is right here in Bettendorf, Bent River, Five Cities,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Great River, Green Tree, Radical Effects, Stompbox, Twin Span, and Wake.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: So pretty much all the major breweries.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Have you been to all of them?
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: I have not. I've never even heard of Radical effects.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Dude, oh front of the show for us, that's one
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: of his favorites locally, and it's for good reason. Radical
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: is really good. Honestly, all of these are really good breweries.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Although looking at this, uh oh, it does say India
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: pale ale. So it's a really light colored almost looks
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: like a lagger to me. Yeah, yeah, really light colored.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: The it's I can get a good aroma from it
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: just by opening and pouring it. But it's not like
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: a heavy you know, somebody walks in the room, they're
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: not gonna smell it right now, but it's it's a
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: subtle but good aroma, really good head retention. I can't
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: even pour the hole.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: It's got some cool like sediment. Like if you look
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: it up there, like hold it up to the light,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: there's just some like cloudiness coming down a little bit,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: so it's not like perfectly clear and translucent. There's a
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: little bit of haziness to it, but it's not necessarily
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: a hazy I p a.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so six and a half percent. I'm interested to
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: see what my lawnmower skit is gonna be.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's just kind of right up the middle for
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: an I pa oh, yeah, it's a home run.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a solid just solid ipa nothing too crazy.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: They're not trying to like do something super weird with it,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: which I mean, you get how many one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: eight nine, ten breweries collaborating on a beer, you can
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: imagine that can quickly turn into like a too many
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: cooks situation. Now, this is obviously a bunch of people
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: that know what they're doing in brewin beer coming together
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: and just saying, hey, let's brew really good beer together.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: So good job to all of those. I think, what
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: did I say ten breweries? Really cool? That green Tree
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: may be the like physically smallest of all of them
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: listed here, So it's really cool.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: That maybe in terms of like the brewery location, but
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know about like output distributes. Yeah that's true.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I definitely see a lot of Green Tree stuff all
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: over the place at the grocery stores. But yeah, I've
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: been to most of those breweries. They're all really good.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: And we've got we just got a good brewery scene
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: here in the Quad Cities area, Like we've got options,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and if you get kind of tired of one, you
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: can go to the other for a little bit sore
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: My favorite is right up the road from us here,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: five Cities.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: We were just talking about it before we hit record,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: and it's just it's right up the street from my
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: house and we go there quite often. It's a good place. Yeah.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And importantly they were one of the collaborators. Yeah,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: so good job to all of them. I'm really excited
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: to keep drinking the other one in this one. And
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I don't think it was too bad when I went
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: to our favorite, Devil's Glenn High Vee. I don't think
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: this was a twenty dollars four pack by any means
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: it was. I think it was, you know, about fifteen
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: ish dollars, reasonably priced. Furn of the show. Jim gave
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: me some grief over shape at my beard. So yeah,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: it's good beer, great beer.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, good stuff. Thanks for bringing it. Let's get into
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the Viking's first preseason game.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: We have Vikings football.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: We do here, it's here, it happened. It's preseason, so
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: it's not like earth shattering news. But it was just
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: good to see football again. It was good to see
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the guys and pads. It was good to see them
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: flying around a little bit, playing mostly full speed football.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Preseason is always a little weird because you know, guys
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: are holding back a little bit and then other guys
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: are like going one hundred and ten percent because they're
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: trying to make the team exactly. So it's kind of
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: this weird product where it's not a true representation of everything.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: And admittedly neither of us watched the full game because
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: it wasn't televised here, but we definitely saw all of
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the highlights and we've kind of digested the results and
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: the box scores and everything. There's some interesting things to
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: cover here. We should probably just rip the band aid
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: off and talk about the core back situation quickly. Kyler
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Murray started. He played one series. He was two of
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: three for ten yards and a seventy one point five rating.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Respectable but a really small sample size. JJ McCarthy came
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: in after him, went four of seven thirty four yards,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: neither through a touchdown or an interception. JJ took one
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: sack for four yards sixty nine point nine ratings, So
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: all in all, like not that far off from each other. Yeah,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the sample size a little bit bigger for JJ McCarthy,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: but not much. And so you think going into the
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: game or even watching the game unfold. Kyler has already
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: obviously been named the starter. You expect JJ's going to
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: be the number two guy, and they played similarly well.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Then Carson Wentz comes out and plays really well. And
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I think you would expect that, especially by the time
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Carson Wentz comes into the game, he's probably playing against
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: the Giants' second string everything, yeah, if not third, you know, yeah,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: like he's not playing against their best guys. And he
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: looked really good. He went nine to fourteen eighty one yards,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: a touchdown, no sacks, and a one zero three point
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: six rating. So you look at the numbers and you
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: automatically think you're just like, wow, Carson Wentz looked really good.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: And that kind of became one of the common threads
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: coming out of this game was all Carson Wentz is
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: gonna usurp. JJ McCarthy is QB two and you kind
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: of you you had some thoughts on that. I want
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: to hear your thoughts on that.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, just first off, overall, it's the first
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: preseason game. I mean, they're there. It's vanilla offense and
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: defense and special teams for both teams. You know, nobody's
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: out there trying to win the Super Bowl in this,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: you know, truthfully meaningless game. So yeah, I don't think
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: we've mentioned yet. The Vikings won thirteen to ten. I
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: think the only Vikings touchdown was that touchdown pass you
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: were talking about from Wentz to I believe Miles Price,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: and I think that Price catch in the end zone
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: it was like a one hander or yeah, it was
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: a difficult over the shoulder catch. Not that it was
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: a bad throw by any means, but it was. It
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: was a good play by everyone involved. But still it's preseason. Yeah,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: I'm super happy to have football back. I wish we were,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: you know, I wish the Vikings like local viewing area
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: stretched down, just like another hour or two south to
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: you know, include us where we are, because like you said,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: it's not televised, even if we've got Sunday ticket, But
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: that doesn't include preseason games. I'm not gonna pay for
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: NFL Plus or whatever service gets you preseason games.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: I don't care enough. We can find other ways to
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: see highlights or even the full game if we want
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: the idea that I mean, even if Jaj McCarthy had
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: come out and was perfect and through a touch down
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: or two touchdowns and one hundred yards. Or even if
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: you had the same stat line that Carson Wentz ended
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: up with eighty one passing yards and a touchdown, I
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: still wouldn't be sitting here saying like, oh, the Vikings
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: are making the wrong decision with the starter. I don't
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: really put a lot into total stats at all for
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: this game. Get you like to see things like the
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: running game had a couple of decent runs. Individual athletes
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: looked pretty good. I think Jordan Mason had a really
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: nice up the middle run at one point, which is
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: nice to see, you know, those individual plays. It's nice
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: to see things like, hey, the entire expected Vikings starting
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: offensive line started and played a few plays. I think
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: most of the starting offense was out there except for
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson and maybe another player or two. But like,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: those are the things you like to see. Those are
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: what you gain value. But to say that Carson Wentz
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: solely based off this game should be QB two because
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: he had you know, eighty one passing yards as compared
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: to JJ McCarthy's thirty four. He got to look at
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: circumstances too, Because Max Brosmer was in for two passes.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: He attempted two passes and then pretty quickly tweaked something
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: in his hand or arm or something. He came out
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: of the game. I don't think it's a huge, season
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: enging injury for him, although that might be the best
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: route for him to stick with the team for the
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: rest of the years if he got injured and was
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: on injured reserve. But I think it was a situation
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: where Wentz came in, played a little bit, you know,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: broke the rust off, got a little bit, and then
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: it was Brozemer time and Rosmer was not in for
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: very long because he got nicked up. So throughout Carson
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Wentz again, You're not gonna put Kyler Murray out there
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: because you know he needs to be ready and available
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: for the regular season. So once had a lot more
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: opportunity to play, and credit to him, he looked pretty
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: good overall, though I'm not gonna get a ton out
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: of a preseason game.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you said, and Dustin Baker said this, you
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: were just kind of rehashing what he said a few
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: weeks ago when he was on the show. You just
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: you can't put a lot of stock in preseason quarterback play,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: right because you could see a guy that plays really well,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: and then he gets into the regular season and he
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: plays terrible, like Max Brosmer or vice versa. Like I
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: remember Sam Darnold had some pretty crummy preseason appearances, and
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: again he wasn't really playing a lot, but he just
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: didn't look great, and his training camp wasn't great either,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: and then he came out and won fourteen games from
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: the vikings, you know, and then he went on they're
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: after to win a super.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Bowl, Seattle, go ahead, rub it in a little bit.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: But I'm just painting the picture right, Like you can't
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: put a lot of stock in the preseason. Now, I
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: would like to offer a counter argument for the QB
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: two role. Not that I'm not like gonna die on
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: this hill, and I'm not gonna, you know, if people
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: want to come after me in the comments, I'm not
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: gonna like sit there and try to defend myself.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna make a fake account just after you in
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: the comments, do it.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I think Carson Wentz right now is the better option
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: at quarterback two. I think if you're gonna name Kyler
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Murray the starter, and if you want to win football
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: games and you want consistent quarterback play, if Kyler Murray
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: goes down. Your best option right now is Carson Wentz,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: and I think he showed that. I think the stat
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: line showed that. And again I've already given the caveat
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: that he wasn't playing against really anybody notable, but he
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: proved that in five or six whatever it was, regular
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: season games last year, even playing through some pretty gruesome
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: injury towards the end of that stint before they gave
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: the reins to JJ McCarthy. So I think Kevin O'Connell
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: has a ton of respect for Carson Wentz, and I
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: think he I think he can relate to Carson Wentz
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. And I wouldn't be surprised,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Like if it were announced that Carson Wentz was QB two,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't I wouldn't throw in the oh my stars
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: right now. I'd just be like, yeah, okay, cool, that
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: makes sense. Actually, you know, like I would not be
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: shocked at all if that happened now. I also wouldn't
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: be shocked if they named JJ McCarthy QB two and
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Carson's that emergency QB three practice squad guy and Max
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: is on the fringe, on the outside looking in perhaps
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but I don't know. It's I think
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: it really comes down to how Kevin O'Connell wants to
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: play his chips and if he wants to save face
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: a little bit with the JJ McCarthy decision, because it
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: sounds like he was he was involved in that decision,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: he knew what they were getting into. And if he
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: wants to save the embarrassment of oh yeah, me in
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: that tenth round, first first round, tenth overall pick didn't
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: really pan out for you. If he wants to avoid
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: all of that, he'll put JJ McCarthy at QB two.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: But if he doesn't care about that, then I think
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: the wise option, the smart option is Max brosmur or not.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Definitely No, oh my, that's that's where we put in
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: that sound effec. I mean, sure, the argument is there
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: to be made. I'm still of the mindset if McCarthy
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: was even close to being a discussion for QB one,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: then the depth chart should look Kyler Murray, JJ McCarthy,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Carson Wentz And I mean, you never know, it could
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: be a very short leash on QB two for JJ McCarthy.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: The fact of the matter is, I think if if
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Kyler Murray goes down. Unless JJ McCarthy really figures it out,
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: the season's not really savable too much, although we did
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: just watch a Vikings team in twenty twenty five have
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: really up and down, mostly down quarterback play and still
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: end up with a winning season. So I'm not too
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: worried about that conversation right now about who's going to
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: be QB two. Honestly, it doesn't really matter to me
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: too much. I just want whoever is playing, whether it's
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: because you know it's Kyler and he starts every game
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: because he grabbed the spot and never let go, or
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: if it's somebody else because there's an injury. I just
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: I want the Vikings to win games. I'm starting. I'm
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: still we're still young. We're still young men at thirty
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: five years old, but man, fifty seasons is not a
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: ton of seasons, and that is a ton of years.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: I don't want to be eighty before the Vikings win
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: a Super Bowl. So hopefully they get this quarterback situation
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: figured out before too long.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Let's hope a couple other just offensive highlights. Really quick
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: will record was perfect.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Not that that's all offense special teams, but you got
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: to get there.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: But they they drove down the field and got him
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: in position and knock in a few and knocked in
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: a few extra points as well, So that was good.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: The run game looked good. You already referenced a big
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: run by Jordan Mason, so that was great. The Vikings
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: always have that one, and oddly enough, I think I've
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: said it before, They've always had that one running back
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: that comes out and there's usually a Z in his
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: name somewhere. This year that's not the case, but there's
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: still the running back. He just doesn't have a Z
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: in his name. Demon Claiborne really coming on strong and
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: looking good, so he's wanted to keep an eye on.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: He could end up in that RB three, maybe edging
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: out Xavier Scott. Perhaps he got more reps just because
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Xavier Scott is already the kind of the proverb RB three.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: But Deman Clayborne looked pretty decent, I thought, and got
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of carries.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so well, in some of those they just they
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: were down in the goal line and they just kept
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: pounding it two or three times with demand Claiborne, who
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: is not a bruiser.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: He's kind of a little guy, a smaller guy.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Yea, and it was kind of he's and eighty eight
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: says espn to that's like treating him. Yeah, to put
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: him in a situation where he's pounding it, trying to
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: break the line and make it in the end zone,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: that's that's not the size of a guy that you're
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: doing that. So that's another reason why I think you
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: can't put too much into preseason because you can't think
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: that in the regular season, if they were on the
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: whatever they were the inside the five yard line, they're
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: gonna pound it multiple times. With Demon Claiborne, that's gonna
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: be a Jordan Mason or a play action pass. But overall, yeah,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Claiborne got twelve carries. He averaged two point eight, but
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: some of those were those failed touchdown.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Types, So that average I don't read a lot into
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: because I think his average was actually better minus those
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: goal line attempts than he didn't get through. But again,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of promise there in the
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Vikings running back room. Obviously, Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: will lead the way and then it's just kind of
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: a toss up as to who makes the team. After that.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: They'll probably carry four running backs. I would venture to guess, Well.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: It depends on what you consider running bays Max Brettison right, well,
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: but he's more of a tight end too.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: And I know he caught a pass for only two yards,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: but he still caught a pass as a tight end.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: I think people have been singing his praises too, like
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: sounds like people are already saying like he's got the
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: ceiling to be like a Kyle used Check or wow, CJ.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Ham, you know, more of that full back role.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: I think the most that we will see him in
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: is like a full back. But from what I've seen, again,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: we haven't been in any training camp, and admittedly we
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: only saw portions of the game, But from what I've
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: seen and heard, Bredison's getting a lot of praises, and
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: he's picking up the offense well and doing his job well.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: So I think we may have a chance to have
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: one of those, Like seven years from now, we could
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: be talking about Brettison as like the way that we
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: talk about a c. J. Ham or a Harrison Smith,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: just in the like we like this guy on our team,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: not that we're talking he's a Hall of Famer or
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: that you know, Harrison Smith is for sure, but c J.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Ham's not a Hall of Famer. But like we we
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: look at CJ. Ham and think, like Clin Saucer level,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: like that's a guy that I'm I'm really glad that
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: he was on my favorite team. And if I ever
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: see a reasonably prior price c J. Ham jersey, like,
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna buy it. Like I look at him fondly
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: as a fan of the team, and I think we
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: might have that in Bredison as well.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Another thing to look fondly upon is the Vikings defense.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: I haven't talked about the defense really at all. I
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: think we mentioned the Dallas turner Jay wardsacks a little
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: bit ago, but other than that, we didn't really talk
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: about it. The Vikings defense looks good.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, and surprise, surprise.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: We're not surprised because we know that Brian Flores is
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: a really good coach and he's really good at getting
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: guys to fly around, and his defensive scheme is, in
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: my opinion, unmatched in the NFL. No one's really kind
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: of figured him out yet, and every time they figure
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: him out, he does something different, and I think that's
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: part of his skill as a defensive coordinator is always
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: keeping people on their toes and you just you never
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: know what you're going to get out of this Brian
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Flora's defense, I would venture to guess when we get
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: into the regular season, he'll play a pretty vanilla game
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: plan for a couple of weeks, just to see what
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: his guys can go out and do physically without scheming
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff. But I think we've seen the
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: pattern where he schemes more and more the later into
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: the season you get, and we get to that point
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: in the you know, kind of the latter half of
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: the season, three quarters of the way through the season,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: where the defense is winning games. Yeah, And that's that's
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: been the pattern since he's been the defensive coordinator. Is
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: the defense wins those big ones. Like I think of
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: that three nothing Raiders game. I think like that was
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: our first year of the podcast, before we even had
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: this set, and we had the Recliners and stuff down here,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: and we live streamed that game. There's that legendary and
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: you blacked out for a second. But all that to say,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: like that was like, you know, three quarters of the
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: way through the season, and that's just like the signature
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: pattern of Brian Flores. You're not going to see, you know,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: the big flashy stuff. Yet there were some good sacks.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: There were some guys that were up there in tackle numbers.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: James Pierre, free agent addition, led the team attack. I
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: doubt he played. I don't really know how long he played,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: but I doubt he played very long.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Well. He may have played. Again, I wish I would
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: have been able to watch the game. He may have
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: played quite a bit, just because I think right now
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: he's kind of slated to be that maybe third corner.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: So in the first preseason game, I would guess guys
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: like Byron Murphy didn't start, so there may have been
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: opportunities there for the guys on the second and third
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: string of the depth chart and the defense to play.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: So James Fear actually probably played a decent amount, and
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: to lead the team in tackles is no small feat.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: But there's some other good names up here. Ivan Pace
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: was up there in the tackles list, had to tackle
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: for a loss. Jake Golday, a draft pick, second round pick,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: second round pick pretty high, was up there in the
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: team tackles. Caleb Banks had a handful of tackles. So
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: some of the these draft picks Chuck Demings, he was
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: up there. He he I saw a funny clip the
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Vikings posted where's He's kind of become known as like
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: the Prophet because he's got all these little funny one
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: liners when he comes out of the and they're like
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: good stuff. They're kind of like inspirational quotes. I shouldn't
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: call them funny because they're actually.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: No pretty good inspirational, but when you string them all together,
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: it's it's funny to talk about you.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So that was kind of cool to watch. But
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: he's one I think to keep an eye on a
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: little bit. It seems like he's got that charisma to
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: not just be a good player on the field, but
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: also just a really good, solid dude outside of football
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: as well. Bengali Kamara, did I talk about him yet?
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: I don't think.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: I'd probably heard his name for the first time. During
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: the game, he's up there, five total tackles, four solo tackles,
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: and a tackle for loss. I remember seeing his name
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: way back. I think he was a UDFAKA and I
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: think actually during an episode you and I looked at
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: the list of udfas and we kind of chuckled at
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: how odd these names were for these guys, and he
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: definitely has an interesting name Bengali Kamara, but he could
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: be one to keep an eye on too, like he
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: could make the team and could maybe be a depth
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: guy somewhere. So all in all, I'm excited about where
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: the defense is at.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: I think we've heard it kind of all camp long.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: The defense has been winning training camp. Like all the
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: offense versus defense reps, they've been winning. Makes sense. The
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: offense still has a lot to figure out. That does
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: make me think, Now I'm gonna go on a rabbit
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: trail for a second, where we go on. It makes
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: me think that if that consistently happens, because I feel
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: like that's happened a couple of times in the past
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: couple of years now where the defense has performed better
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: than the offense, and and in preseason.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: I think that's to be expected, especially early on in camp,
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: like the defense is usually more ahead. We hear that.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: However, However, does that indicate that Brian Flores probably needs
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: to be a head coach somewhere.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Like, Oh, it'll happen. It'll happen for sure. The only
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: reason he's not right now is the whole legal stuff.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Which there's no secret about that. But every year we
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: get another Brian floor as year with the Vikings is
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: a blessing at least on the field. Yes, he'll be
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: a head coach. It could be next year, it could be,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: it'll happen.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Sometimes we're really grateful that he's there and we want
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: to prolong the inevitable as much as possible.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of the Flora's defense, the one really bad
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: thing that happened in this game was Jamal Adams being
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: lost for the season. I think when he signed, because
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: he just signed, I think like the day before training
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: camp opened, I was probably saying, like, yeah, this guy,
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: you know, you don't expect a whole ton. You can
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: never expect a whole ton on a guy that signs
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: the night before training camp. Obviously has been an All
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Pro Pro bowler early in his career, but hindered by
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: injuries and just kind of mid play even when he
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: did come back, but apparently was carving out a role
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: in the defense and was already really well liked in
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: the locker room and was already like cementing himself on
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: this team when he signed. The kind of idea was
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: that he would play linebacker. Because that's what he did
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: well with the Raiders in twenty twenty five last season.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: But then after a week or so, he switched his
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: number from fifty four to thirty two, and then it
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: kind of seemed like, oh, is he going to move
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: back to that safety role. So either way, it seemed
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: like he was meshing well. But on a non contact play,
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: he was in coverage chasing a receiver and just went
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: down and grabbed his right leg I think it was
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: his right leg, and uh, carded off. And I think
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: even I think that was right before halftime, because Kevin
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: O'Connell gave like a you know, interview as they were
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: walking to the locker room, and it seemed like even
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: then they knew, like maybe not the specific details of
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: the injury, but like knew like it wasn't good. Because
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: even in that halftime interview, Kevin O'Connell eluded, he said
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: things like, man, we're just gutted for him, you know,
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: we just we feel terrible for him, which it wasn't
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: too long after the actual injury happened, but sounds like
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: the injury was something like a torn quad. That sounds awful,
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: And I think that was like the first major injury
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: he suffered in like twenty two or twenty three, and
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: he's talked publicly that when he had suffered that last one,
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: it was like really tough to come back from. I mean, quat,
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: it's probably one of your biggest muscles in your body, like,
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: and to be an athlete and run around that, it's
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: got to be the most painful thing ever to experience.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: It's when it happens, and then like I mean, it
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: needs surgery. Like, it's got to be one of the
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: more tough things to come back from. So given his
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: age and injury history, I would love it, but I'd
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: be surprised if he really came back. Which sucks because
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: it seemed like he was on the upward trajectory of making,
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: you know, making some waves on this team this year.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: The way they were talking about him kind of made
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: it sound like they expected him to make an impact
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: this year similar to what like Eric Kendricks or not sorry,
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Eric Wilson made on the team last year, you know,
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: enough to get re signed, and now Wilson's expected to
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: be a starter. So it really sucks. And not to
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: go too dark, but last season, the Vikings had an
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: incoming free agent joined the team and then suffer a
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: season ending injury in the first preseason game in Rondell Moore.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: And obviously we don't know all the details about how
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: you know, how much he was around the team after
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: the injury, or how his recovery process was going, but
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: it ended in the most tragic way possible. He's no
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: longer with us. So since the Jamal Adams injury, we've
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: heard Kevin O'Connell speak about it, We've heard other players
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: speak about how Jamal Adams is welcome to be around
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: the team. I think Kevin O'Connell said, he's a Minnesota Viking.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: He's going to be around and be here. He kind
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: of alluded to the fact that, you know, reporters and
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: fans would see Jamal Adams around the team this year.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: So again, I don't know how the situation last year
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: went down with Rondell Moore, but I wonder if that
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: is kind of forming the mentality of how the team
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: is going to wrap themselves around Jamal Adams this year,
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: because I can't imagine being a player whose livelihood relies
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: on your body and then you get a minimum one
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: year taken away from your career on an injury that
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: won't be easy to come back from. That's got to
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: be mentally just the toughest thing in the world. So
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: good for the Vikings for at least publicly seeming like
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: they're gonna wrap themselves around Jamal Adams and welcome him in.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: He's still a member of the team, but just gutted
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: for his prospects this year.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you got to believe the Vikings are going
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: to follow through on everything they say they would do.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: You know, the Vikings consistently score very high in all
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: the player surveys in pretty much every category. But I
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: don't know since, especially since koc has taken over as
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: head coach, I don't know that you're going to find
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: too many players that say, my experience was bad in Minnesota. Yeah,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: so I think they'll always try to do right by
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: the players, even if they get hurt like this in
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: the preseason like this, I was actually at the game
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Rondale Moore got hurt, and I remember thinking to myself, like, man,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: that really sucks, because you know, he was kind of
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: this He was going to be that wide receiver three
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: like that. That was kind of the role we expected
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: him to play. And you know, obviously Justin Jefferson and
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Jordan Addison were going to be one and two and
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: then it was just like all right, and I mean
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: he I think it had to have been the first
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: or second quarter. It was before the first half, and
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: it was on the sideline that I was sitting on
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: and we're sitting on the side where you and I
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: sat for the very first time, kind of up on
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: that behind the home bench, and yeah, it was just
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: it was not good, and it took a long time
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: for them to get him off the field. And yeah,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: obviously it ended even more tragically than that, which is
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: really sad. Hopefully nothing like that happens ever to any
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: other player.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: But yeah, and again for all we know that the
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: team last year wrapped themselves around Rundale and treated him
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: as well as you would expect. We just don't know
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: how that relationship was, But you got to think that's,
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: you know, in the minds of decision makers with the
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: team and will probably at least somewhat shape how they
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: go about this year with Jamal Adams.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's something like even as a coach myself,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: I talk with my athletes all the time about like,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: your identity is not wound up in who you are
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: as an athlete. That's something you do, but it's not
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: who you are, you know. And that's I think a
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: really important message to get through to young people, you know,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: because they put a lot of stock in themselves and
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: in their bodies and their ability to go out and
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: perform and then stuff happens in life and they can't
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: go out and do it. And it could be a
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: physical injury, but you know, there's also a lot of
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: other stuff that goes on, and you know, there could
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: be like emotional or mental or whatever, and it's just,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: you know, I have to have that conversation with my
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: athletes all the time, like you are so much more
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: than just an athlete. That's something you do and that's great,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: and it's good that you give a lot of effort
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: to that and you pour your heart and soul into that,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: but it's not who you are the end of the day.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: So good message for anybody out there. It's listening, You're
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: so much more than what you do. Right. Something we
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: do on the podcast that maybe we regret doing something
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: is in the.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: Moment I thought maybe this purple punishment wasn't the greatest,
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: But you know what watching back at every single one
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: of them. I like them.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: It's pretty funny. We do purple punishments. In the last episode,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: episode one. We made our picks. So we go through
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: the Viking schedule every game for seventeen games, and we
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: give our picks win or loss, what we think is
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: going to happen. There were a few games where we
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: were similar, where we picked the same outcome. There were
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: other games where we picked opposite outcomes. If we are
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: incorrect in those picks. So let's say that the Vikings
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: win the game, but we predicted that they would lose
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: the game, then we have to spin the wheel. Or
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: if that situation was reversed, if the Vikings lose, we
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: predicted a win. If we both predicted a win and
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: the Vikings lose, we both spin the wheel and we
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: both do the punishment. Same thing vice versa. If only
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: one of us predicted incorrectly, then only one of us
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: has to spin the wheel. Are you counting how many
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: times we line up?
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I'm already. I'm at like week ten and
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: we're already at a handful. So there will be plenty
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: of times this season.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: I felt like this year guarantee this is our fourth
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: year picking games, but our second year, third year, I.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: Think it's our third year doing third year of purple punishments. Yep.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: So we've done this a handful of times now, but
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: we thought that it would be kind of fun to
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: reveal to you the audience, what those punishments are. Yeah,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: so we're gonna reveal that to you now. I'm actually
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: going to pull it up and I'm going to a
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: screenshot this so that you can see what these options are.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: And this is our our wheel. This, this will be
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: the wheel that we spin. I think. I guess I'm
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: assuming a lot about how you're gonna put this on
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: the screen, But yeah, this is an idea kind of
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: taken from Dude Perfect a little bit with their wheel unfortunate,
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: but yeah, I've I've always enjoyed the purple punishments, Evan.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know if we've ever explained, like where the
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: idea of the purple punishments came from.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Well, it's definitely Dude Perfect, Like that's that's a big
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: inspiration I think for myself personally.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you remember, do you remember a
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: couple of seasons ago about this time two ish years ago,
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: I texted you and I was like, hey, what if
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: for every time I picked wrong? I ate that many
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: like hobb and arrows, and you quickly are like, dude,
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: by the end of the season, you could be eating
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: like twelve hobb and arrows in a row. And it's like,
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: all right, maybe not. But then we brainstormed and it
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: quickly morphed into all right, these puns.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: Well, I think I responded with what if we did
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: like the dude, perfect wheel, unfortunate kind of thing, and
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: we came up with a list of consequences, and then
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: it just yeah, that's it's all coming back to me now.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: So you can see on the screen right now the
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: wheel is slowly spinning around some of the things. So
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: you'll see some things on here that have been on
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: here before, like a pie in the face that was
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: one on the list.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: Have we ever done that?
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: But we've not actually done that. So but what we'll
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: do is we'll buy whipped cream and pie tins, and
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: if that's what happens, we'll just you know, do the
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: whole thing. It just passed child's chair. We did that
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: one right down here. We have a little my kids
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: have a little table and chair set that we brought
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: down here and we sat uncomfortably. My tailbone hurt for
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: like a week for that, but we did it. We
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: sat in child's chairs.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: Let's just go down the list. Let's all right, So
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: this will be the official list this year. I don't
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: know do we have any. I think we got a
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: couple of new ones and definitely a lot of returning ones.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: But what's what's the first one.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Of So you can see the list over off to
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: the right. I'll leave that up here on the video.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: Eat something spicy. We we did this last year? We
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: got you got spicy cash shoes.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: Or something, some cases something some yeah, some jar of
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: nuts that I think we've done. Eat something spicy twice?
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: Will each of us have done it? The first year
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: it was just a jar of like pickled hollopanos and
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: I did like a lid full and loved it and
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: then took it home and ate the rest of them.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: And then I think I landed on the almonds or
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: cashoes or whatever it was, and I took one and
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: I was like.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: You did more than one, at least a couple.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: I think I did a handful, but it was it
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: was hard, like they were like Carolina Reaper. Yeah, like
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: they were pretty intense.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: And I'm pretty sure like as you were doing it
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: throughout the episode, I was just snacking on them and
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: I ended up eating more than you did. And but
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: that's something on there, and I kind of have an idea.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: There's Amazon is chocked full of these like spicy challenges.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: There's a there's a couple that I want to run
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: past you. We'll agree on it, but I think we
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: can go down that road either way. Eat something spicy.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: That'll be a good one.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: All right. Next up, we have a trick shot. So
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: you have to successfully make a trick shot, which that
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: would probably be determined, Like we'll need to figure that out.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: But I think it's like you get a ping pong ball,
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: you get like the pots and pans, and you get
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: a cup at the end, and you gotta like throw it,
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: you know, and get it into the cup.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, something we shot like that quickly put together during
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: the episode. But then I mean, just because something simple
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean it's easy. So we'll figure that out for sure. Actually, listeners,
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: if you have an idea for like a trick shot,
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: let us know, you know, something considerate.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: Something we could do like immediately, like with basic household supplies.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Next up, fake beard. You did that for a whole episode.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: You have this like wonderfully knitted out of yarn Viking
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: beard that you wore, and you have a beard anyways.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: Not I mean it's coming back, surely I shaved it.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: But yeah, that was an interesting dynamic. I remember it
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: being really itchy. That'd be fun to go back.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: And drinking beerd while wearing that was a little bit
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: more challenging.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: Anybody that has a beard like I used to, with
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: a little bit of length, you get used to like
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: pulling little hairs out of your mouth every once in
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: a while. But it's still not fun. But that was
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: definitely in play when I wore that fake beard.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: All right, Next three, Here we have Lions bears and
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: Packers jerseys. Yeah, so we bought on eBay. I think
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: some really cheap but still gross and disgusting.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: The Bears one is legitimately discussed. That one's like it's
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: got stains on it. Yes, we've been saying for over
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: a year now. It probably needs to be washed. I
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: don't think it's been nothing.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: It sat here on the floor in my basement. It's
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: definitely not been washed, But that is a punishment. If
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: you have to wear the jersey of a divisional rival,
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: that's tough. And the NFC north Man, like, give me
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: any other jersey. Give me a Colt's jersey, give me
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: a Jets jersey, give me a Browns jersey for pizzake,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: I'll wear it.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: I haven't Brett Farb Jets jersey.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: Do you actually Oh yeah, I remember that.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you should wear that sometimes maybe maybe.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: But these jerseys are just like it's a punishment.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: Like the Lions one. The only saving grace is that
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: it's a T. J. Hawkins. Yeah, but it's still a
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: Lions jersey. And importantly, Lions fans are the worst fans
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: in the history of sports fandom, without question. The Eagles
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: fans are close, but Lions are the worst.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: All right, next the Cinnamon Challenge. I'm gonna move on.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: We're done. I just had to get that you did
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: the cinnamon Challenge. Yeah, it was bad.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: It was bad, but I feel like so I knew
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: I was gonna do it, and I looked up like
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: ways to do it, and I mean, I didn't cheat, but.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: It wasn't terrible.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: It could have been so much better, and it could
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: have been worse, but I definitely looked up how to
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: complete that challenge and may have cheated, So I did it.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: The next one is waxing some body part, and the
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: very first time we did it, we did it.
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: We both did it right.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: We both did it at this live podcast event.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: No we'd done it, but we did it here.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: But then we did it at that live podcast event too,
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: and we just waxed each other's like calf and it
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: wasn't that exciting. So last year we upped the ante
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: and we waxed each other's armpits. And I think mine
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: is still recovering from that.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: I didn't I didn't give you a good pull. I
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: just tugged by axe. I apologized, and I still I'm
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: still so sorry about that. However, I think we keep it.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: I think we keep it in the arm pit.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, agreed, all right. Next, I'm the only one looking
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: at the list, so and it's really small for me,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: so it's probably even.
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: We got it.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: So it'll be right here waxing the armpit. Whatever, sippy cup,
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: drinking a beer out of a sippy cup. So instead
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: of these nice stins that we got, you gotta drink
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: it with a little child like and they're like those things.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: I think we did it with like swirly straws one time.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: We're definitely gonna sippy cup has been on it for
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: at least it was on there last year. At least
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: we didn't do it.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: But I think that the concern with that is, like
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: they're so small, so you're just gonna constantly be putting
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: beer in there.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's a part of the punishment to me. Yeah,
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: I don't think we're gonna find sixteen ounce sippy cups anywhere.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know, listeners if you know where to find
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: a sixteen ounce children and sippy cup, because a part
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: of it is, like I think when we planned on
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: it initially, it was gonna be that like little bottle
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: with like the character lid up top m and you.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: Can get them at the gas station. I still have
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: some down here probably actually my kids probably took them upstairs.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: But but we've never we've never drank beer out of them.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: We've never landed on that.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: But it's on the wheel this year, a beer mile.
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: So you and I had a little bit of a
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: different viewpoint on.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: I just didn't know exactly what it was.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: So you thought, just share, not I don't want to
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: like publicly shame.
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: You know, there's no shame.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: Share what you thought the beer mile was?
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: So the beer mile, to put it on the wheel
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: was your idea, and I was like, yeah, that's a
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: good idea. In my head, I'd never really heard the official,
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: you know, definition of what it was. I just thought
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: it'd be like a running a mile and drinking a beer.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: I was not aware that there are more refined rules. However,
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: after hearing about these rules, I'm still on board, like,
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: let's do it. So Evan tell us what the rules are.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: So the rules are, and this is I think fairly
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: widely known, and it's like somewhat competitive, like just like
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: you can go out and run a race, like you
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: run a mile, you can run a five k, you
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: can run dog wrench.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: Wait, we're not talking about dodgeball here, you know what
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: I'm in my brain? I mixed up dodgeball and remember
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: the Titans, and there's anyways.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Are you thinking about when he's like.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: I will break my my foot off, and.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: Your John Brown honpis and then it will run a mile.
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: And then in my brain, somewhere in there was if
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: What I don't know.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: Combination together is really getting to me. Okay, So the
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: official rules of a beer mile are and again it
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: can be quite competitive in fact, like they time this
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: and you can like win prize money and stuff.
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna find out that I have this talent.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: You drink a twelve ounce beer and then you run
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: four hundred meters a quarter.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: Of a mile, so like one lap of a one
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: lap on the professional track. Yeep.
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: So drink a beer, run a lap, and then you
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: repeat that three more times. So you always drink a
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: beer before and you have to chug it.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: Like it's just like an essentially shotgun it.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: Yep, and you drink it all, then you go run
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: a lap, then you come back and drink more, and
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: then you gotta drink a fourth beer before you go
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: into your final lap, and you see how fast you
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: can do it. So if I land on a beer mile,
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: I'm a running coach. I'm gonna make no promises, no guarantees,
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: what are like, But I'm not gonna puke at the
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: end of my beer mile.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: If I have to do it, I don't mind if
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: I puke I don't like puking, but like I'm gonna puke,
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: what's a decent time? Does a puking eliminate you?
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: No, puking doesn't eliminate.
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: I feel like a decent like a regular dude's I
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: feel like eight minutes is probably really okay for like
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: a regular dude that doesn't run all the time. Seven
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: eight minutes, I'd maybe go a little bit.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: Eight to nine minutes somewhere in there.
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: So a beer mile.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say at least ten minutes.
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd be happy if I got ten or eleven
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: minutes in a beer mile.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm just thinking of my chugging abilities, Like, I
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: think I could run a pretty decent mile. Could I
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: could probably run a sub eight minute mile or fairly
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: confident in my abilities to do that without the beer.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: But to stand there and chug a beer, I cannot.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not a chugger either.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: I can't shut. I physically have never mastered the like
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: shotgunning a beer.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: So I don't think that's where I would lose time
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: is in drinking the beer.
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: Does it have to go in that order?
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: Beer? Order beer beer?
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: You couldn't do mile four beers four beers, then a mile.
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: You could do two beers and then half a mile.
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: Like it's gotta be talking about this now. It's got
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: to be every other And I'm okay with that, and
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: I'm just glad that we're setting these rules now.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: And this is one where we have to put a
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: little asterisk next to it because most of the purple
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: punishments are ones that we want to be able to
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: do in the moment right now. We've got the supplies here,
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: we can just go out and buy them before the season,
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: so we're prepared and then if we land on it,
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: we just pull it out and we're like, all right,
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: this is what we're doing this one it would be
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: we land on it, and we've got to do it
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: before the next episode on air production meeting. Okay, I'm listening.
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: We have already kind of talked about like the the
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: structure of our episodes and recording during the season, you
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: and I have and how it's not just to probably
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: not just going to be the like one episode a week.
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: We've kind of talked about doing a quick after game episode,
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: whether it's both of us or one of us or whatever.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: Could be incorporated.
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: We both have access to this wheel. We could right
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: after the game. We'll know if we have to spin
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: the wheel for that upcoming week, whether it's again one
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: of us, both of us, whatever, right after the game.
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: That could be a part of that quick post game
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: episode spinning the wheel. And then logistically, if we spun
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: the wheel right after the game, we know, hey, Austin's
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: got to do the beer mile. There's the opportunity a
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: couple of days before we actually record the episode that
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: we could plan that out. Thoughts.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: I'm open to that. I think there's a few more
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: logistics we'll need to hash out, probably off air, as
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: of like where specifically yeah go, and like how we
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: go about doing that. But yeah, I think.
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: But there's a couple of other punishment like the beer
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: mile will need a little bit more thought than just
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: oh I got to put this rival jersey on really quick,
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: or oh I gotta eat this spike.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: Not something we can grab in three seconds and just
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: do on an episode.
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: We'll hash all that out.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: But yes, the beer mile, it's an interesting.
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: Excited I kind of hope I land on it. It'd be fun,
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: it'd be fun.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: You have to drink.
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: I think it'd be more fun if I land on
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: it than if you do, and I kind of really
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: hope we both land on it, and then we got
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: to get like the wives involved on like filming everything.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: That would be interesting. All right, Uh, moving on. We're
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: only like halfway through the list right now.
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: Some of these will we'll just power we will power.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: Through bb gun. You gotta get shot either in the
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: butt or in the stomach with the b begun.
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: I think it's just really anywhere. Those are the obvious choices. Yes,
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: importantly last year we both did it in front of
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: the show for us, was on that episode and he
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: filmed it. We even shot and we shot each other.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he heard it and he filmed it. Yeah, I
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: think that's how it worked. Ice Bucket Challenge, it's a
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: new one this year. That's a new one that's kind
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: of become this like resurging trend with celebrities especially, but
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: you know the big als ice Bucket Challenge from like
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: I don't even know it was like twenty eighteen, and.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: Then this year importantly because of Chris Johnson, the former
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: Titans and Cardinals running back.
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: So that's on the list. We could definitely find ourselves
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: doing that the next handful. I think we've done a
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: handful of times blindfolded episode fun that was weird but fun.
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: We're mittens for an entire episode.
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: We've we've done that in two different ways. We've done
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: that with actual oven mittens, and then we I think
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: we've done that under the same name where we wore
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: like socks. Yes, I think the oven mits are the
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: way to go for that one. So we need to
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: make sure we have two pairs of oven mints. Child's chair.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: I already referenced that sore tailbones for like a week.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: We did a live podcast event with the IOWA Podcast Awards, yeah,
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, and the purple punishment that
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: we landed on for that was we can't say vikings
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: the entire episode, and if you do, you had to
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: do I think it was.
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: Five or ten push ups and we both said vikings accidentally.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: Way too many times. And so we got a really
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: good workout in that day in front of a lot
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: of people that we never really had met before.
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: It was great though. It was like the perfect punishment.
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: That was our first purple punishment, I believe ever, I
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: think it was, and I think it was the perfect
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: one to bring out first and to bring out in
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: front of a essentially a live audience, and it was
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun.
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: It was pretty fun Stingponga. I think this was on
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: the list last year. We just never landed on it,
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: you know, don't. We have the ping pong balls somewhere.
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: And I'm pretty sure front of show Brian purchased for
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: us the ping pong balls and at least one paddle
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: and I forgot about that now and until right now,
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: and I would have they're here there there.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: In the room somewhere.
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: So stingpong, if you don't know, you smack the ping
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: pong ball as hard as you can at somebody who
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: has their shirt lifted up. Yep, and you try to
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: leave a nice big old well on the back or
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: the front, whatever you decide. I'm gonna go with the back.
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: Probably really you gotta go to the front, man.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: I don't want to see it coming. Okay, okay, moving on.
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: We're now getting down to the end of the list here,
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: which is good. We have a really gross beer in
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: the fridge. Still. It was a beerd neither of us
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: really liked. Interestingly enough, I think the beer grew on
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: you more than it grew on me. Like I started. Yeah,
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: we flipped. I liked it at first, you didn't, and
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: then by the end of the episode I hated it,
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: and you were like, it's kind of okay. Did you
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: already say it's a pickle beer? I did not, but
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: that's what it is. It's the barn Town Tickle My
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: Pickle gluten free beer. It was gluten free for all
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: you gluten free people. You can, you can, And it's
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: been in my fridge for a while.
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: At least it's been in your fridge.
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: It's been in the fridge. It's and cold. But yeah,
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: we might need to maybe get our hands on another
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: gross beer. I don't know. We only have one of
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: them and it's a it's a sixteen ouncer like that.
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that's right now. That's the gross beer that
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: we would land on. But if you have another idea
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: for a gross beer that we should try, let us know,
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: because we were open and we'll buy yeah gross beer.
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: Or if you're a brewery and you have like a
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: gag beer that you know, like it's the like melort
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: of beers, we will we will accept it.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, another one we've done already. I think
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: both of us had to do this. We've had it
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: on the wheel both times. You have to win an
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: eBay auction and the first time I did it myself
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: and I bought a Jordan Addison card which is out
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: on my display case in the basement for a second. No,
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: it's not lost. I just forgot where I put it.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: It's with the Vikings display case, all right. And then
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: I think last year we both bought these chains.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're the cool. I mean they're cheesy, but they're
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: the cool. Yours is like a three D printed mine.
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So I actually reached out to the guy that
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: made mine and I said, hey, thanks for the chain.
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: It's super cool. And he messaged me back and he's like, yeah, thanks,
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: that was awesome, you know. And I think I sent
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: him like a little snippet of the episode where we
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: featured his chain. Yours wasn't three D printed.
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: Yours is more like mine was the like official yeah,
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: in the team shop. Every team has them, like the
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: still oversized, like fake plastic chain, but mine was the
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: the helmet horn.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: And funny enough, my five, well six year old when
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: it came in the mail, he's like, that's so cool.
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: Can I can I have that? And I was like,
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: you know what, buddy, after I wear it for this
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: episode because I had to wear it. That was the
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: whole point one episode. We had to buy them, and
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: then when they came in we wore them. I was like,
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: after I wear it for this episode, I need you
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: to take care this for me. Okay. So he still
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: has it in his room like hanging up. He loves
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: that thing. It's pretty cool, I mean, and it's fun that,
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: like my son actually likes it.
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: That's awesome. So we would have to do an eBay auction.
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: We'll probably decide upon the terms of the eBay auction
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: when we land on it, because that's how we've done
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: it before. Yeah, and like obviously we're not trying to
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: break the bank. It's not like we're trying to win
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: like a eighty thousand dollars.
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: Well, so I think it was like if the Viking's
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: lost by ten points, yes, well that's what we did,
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: Prince of the game was what our total had to be.
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: The margin of victory. Yeah, and I think that's what
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: we did in the last game. And I think it
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: was a pretty big Vikings win.
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: Wasn't it like thirty? Yeah?
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: Well, so we ended up spending like thirty some dollars
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: each on Viking stuff, Whereas like the very first time
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: when I landed on it by myself, it was just
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: like just win anything, and I think I picked like, okay,
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: give me a two dollars card, and I got a
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: two dollars Jordan Atison card out of So.
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: We'll figure out how we want to go about that.
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: But I like that that one's on there, fun all right.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: A new addition to the wheel is the lego walk.
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: This was also inspired by Dude Perfect. They allegedly have
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: the world record for world's longest lego walk with the
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: At the time, this was probably like ten years ago.
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: Now it's been a while. But we'll lay out a
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: bunch of legos and one of us or both of
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: us will have to walk across it. If we land
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: on the eat a jar of pickles. It just says
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: pickles on the wheel, but eat a full jar of
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: pickles and.
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: Soon an entirely everything except for the metal in the glass.
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: Everything everything inside of it. So we've done that. Pickles
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: and juice. We did that last last year, I.
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: Think, yeah, we did. We did. We both have our
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: own jars.
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, we bought two yards of pickles. I would
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: like to recommend that we get a little more bougie
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: with our pickles this year. Yeah, Gallows pickles our life.
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, they are so good.
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: And you can get like you can get like gigantic
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: jars of like the spears. I would get the smaller
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: like hamble.
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: Or whatever something like that.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and those won't break the bank either. Those are
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: probably like five.
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: Six bucks each. Yeah, oh no.
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: But yeah, eat a whole jar, including the juice. You
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: gotta drink it all. Now, the Gallows pickles, like you'll
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: see all the little bits of like the dill seasoning
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: and the garlic and stuff in there.
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: So you know it's coming back with me now. I
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: think I got some flak last time because I didn't
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: eat the little stem the stems.
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna eat the stems.
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: Well, I think I got yelled at last time by
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: people commenting that, Like I think even you were like,
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: come on, man, we'll get the we'll get the hamburger slices,
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: the ste well, and if I got to eat the stem,
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: you know, it's fine. It's all veggies. But yeah, I
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: like that one. That's a fun.
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: One, all right, bean, boozled that this is the jelly
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: bean or the jelly belly brands of jelly bean. They
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: do the like you know, the fake flavors.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: And well they'll have like two colors and one color
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: will be good and the other one will be bad.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: It'll be like a green jelly bean and one of
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: them half the green ones in there is like apple,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: and then the other half is like booger. So like
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: there's a there's a bad one for every color. Yeah,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: how do we want to do that? Because they make
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: like the bean boozled and they're just in the little
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: like packs, individual packs. Here's my thought, all right, we
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: get two of those packs, you know, because theoretically we
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: could both land on it and you just consume the
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: entire thing. Whether it's one, just go for it. Or
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: within the episode you're just chopping on a few, and
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: you like.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: You want one shot to the head or five shots
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: to the chest.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: What do you It's just a suggestion. What do you
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: think about that? I think because it doesn't mean much
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: if you'd like only have like because theoretically that could
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: be three good ones, you know.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: I think maybe just for the spectacle of it all
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: and for the sake of the pod, you gotta do
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a like all right, we're gonna
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: pull out ten of them right now, or pick an
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: arbitrary number or whatever, and you gotta be like completely honest,
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: like you can't bs like I can't eat a bad
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: one until you, ohd that was a really good one actually,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: Like I think we've got to do a little bit
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: of a mini segment where it's like, Okay, I'm gonna
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: be one hundred percent brutally honest with you. That was
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: a bad one. This is what it was. It tasted terrible,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: or that's what it was. It was really good. And
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: then after all that, then you still have to eat
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: the rest and like I like that, and we just
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: slowly eat them throughout the rest of the episode and
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: like you try to catch each other like ooh, you
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: just got a bad one, didn't you.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: Okay, So essentially, like when we land on it, we
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: do the whole spectacle for a couple of minutes, like
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: all right, here's a couple Oh that was terrible, Well
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: that was good. But then by the end of the episode,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: you got to finish the whole You got to finish
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: the whole little pack. Yeah, and they, like I said,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: they come in like individual It's not like we have
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: to eat a pound.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: We can wash it down with what have you ever
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: had some of this? I have not, dude.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: Some of the bad ones they like, you know how
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: like wasabi like gets in your nasal cavity and stuff
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: you've had with sabi or horse ratus or like it
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: like kind of gets in there. Some of those bad ones,
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: it's like vomit and it just gets in like your
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: entire taste buds and it's it's bad for a few minutes.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: So that'll be a fun one to land on.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: All right, We have one more okay that is new okay,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: and then two more that we've done eat lutafisk uh.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: And I brought this up before we started recording. I
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: was like, can we even find that around here? Like
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: we're not far from Minnesota, but we're also are kind
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: of fun.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: We googled it. I think we can find some. We'll
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: have to do some research and we may have to
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: drive around a few places to go find it, but
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: I think we can find it. I think we might
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: even be surprised. I think like even our local like
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: high Vy, like kind of major chain grocery stores might
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: actually carry it. We just don't know they carry it.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: We'll find it and we will buy it and we'll
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: put it in the freezer or in the fridge or whatever.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: However you take care of ludafisk. I don't know I
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: remember having yet. Maybe you got to ferment it. I
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: don't I've had ludafisk before. I had it when I
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: was really young. Do they sell it on Amazon?
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: Well, I just looked on Amazon and the first thing
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: that came up was sixty dollars. We'll have to figure this.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: We'll figure that out. I think you can probably get
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: it cheaper. I don't think it's that expense.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: I assume it's like any other grocery thing. Yes, but
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: tennis dollars.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: Ludifisk, if you don't know, is a Norwegian delicacy. My
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: grandma is actually Norwegian, and I've had a name like that,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: and Ludafisk and lefsa are the big things. Lefsa is
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: a tortilla with butter and sugar or brown sugar, maybe
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: brown sugar or sugar rolled up.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: Well, have we said it?
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: Ludafisk is fish. It's a really bland white fish. I
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's fermented or not. I've had it before.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: It's just super bland. It doesn't it tastes like fish.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: It's a white fish, that's all it is.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, i've I've never had it, but I would not.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: I don't shy away obviously, I don't shy away from
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: foods aged dried white fish, says Google.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's fermentedness.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think soaked in a lie solution. Nothing that
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: I'm seeing here says fermented.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: That just starts the thing with ludafisk. It's soaked in lie.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: Lie actually is like it's poisonous in in great amounts,
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: but not with ludafisc. But it's used to like like
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: you can use lye to like unclog the pipes in
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: your house, and it's kind of yeah, it's intense. I
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: had a clogged pipe. I talked to you about this
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: before we filmed.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: Use lie.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: I did not lie, but you can use lie to
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: do it. And it's like when you use lye to
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: unclog your pipes, you got to wear gloves and a
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: mask and you gotta be really careful. But now with fish,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: but now with fish, I think the amount of lie
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: they use is small. It's it's like a diluted lie
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: type of mixture. All right, But anyways, lutafisk not that bad.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: I've had it before. It's just if you've eaten fish before,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: you'll be like room temperature. It's not really a punishment.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: Is that how it's supposed to be eaten? Like room temperature?
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: You bake it because I'll tell you what. It comes
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: in a jar. Right, if we're eating it on the podcast,
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: I'm not cooking it. We're probably not gonna cook it.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll probably eat it room temperature as it comes
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: out of the jar. We might need to do some
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: research because we might need to cook it in order
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: for it to be like safe.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, we'll figure it out.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: I'm not worried about good because it's.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: A pun of tasting. Yeah. No, yeah, but like safe
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: is one thing.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: So but yeah, I don't want to like, like, we're
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: going to record this on a weeknight and I'm gonna
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: have to wake up and go to school in the
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: morning as a teacher. So can't like call in sick
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: with food poisoning.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: If you have food poisoning, you got to call in sick.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: What else we got what.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: Are the final time, right, we've got two more. We've
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: done these. We talked about it. The pie in the
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: face that was kind of a precursor, but we're just
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: kind of going through the list. Whipped cream pie, tin
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: pie in the face, you got it? The last one
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: I did? Oh yeah, I think I did it by myself.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: I taped my hands to a football for the entire episode.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: Oh I thought this was going to be Sardines. Is
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: Sardines not on it this year?
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: No, Sardines is on there. We talked about Okay, maybe
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: we didn't maybe if.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: We talked about it, but okay, so Sardines is on there.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: We have a can we have alone too.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: I did that alone, but you have the Sardians that
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: we are set, so we're still good. On the Sardians.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: And then taping the hands to the football. I think
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: I taped one hand so that I could still have
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: a hand to get the beer. But it was like
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: I couldn't use one hand for the entire episode.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: I like it like a little nerve football or something. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: those are real football. Okay, sweet, So that's the list.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: Those are the Purple Punishment's list. So yeah, comment, let
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: us know what you're most excited about. If you think
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: we should tweak any of them. I think they're pretty
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: sad at this point, but yeah, they're They're always fun.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: I enjoy the purple punishment segment. I'm trying to think
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: of the worst one that I've ever done. That cinnamon
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: challenge was real bad. Oh. Another thing that we haven't
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: mentioned that we kind of talked about off air this year,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: and I think every year so far we have chosen locks,
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: locks to win, to lose, And so if we we've
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: decided I'm pretty sure cut me off if I am
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: speaking out a turn here, V. But we've decided too
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: that if we are incorrect about our locks, our lock
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: to win, our lock to lose, then yes, we'll have
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: to spin the wheel of purple punishments, but we will
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: also take a shot, take a shot of the Lord. Yeah.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: So interestingly enough, going back to our picks, we both
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: had the lock to win to be the Dolphins in
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: Week four. So if we're incorrect on that pick, both
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: of us have to do the punishment and both of
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: us have to do a shot of alort. If we're right,
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: then we're good. We don't have to worry about it.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: But we picked different locks to lose. I picked the
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: forty nine Ers game in Mexico City as the lock
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: to lose, and you picked at the Patriots in week
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: fourteen as the lock to lose. Yep.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: And importantly, I think we were looking at this earlier
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: before recording too. This year is kind of fun because
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: we have plenty of weeks that we both made the
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: same selection, but also plenty of weeks where we made
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: different selections. So we're definitely guaranteed to spin the wheel
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: quite a few times this year, and sometimes we're gonna
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: have to double it up. We could both have to
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: spin it or both not at all. So should be
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: a good year for purple punishments.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: I'm excited.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: Should be good, Evan, we've had most of two of them. Now,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: what did you think of this? Brewed together by Green
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: Tree Brewing and a ton of other breweries around here.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: This is a good beer. It doesn't pretend to be
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: anything that it's not. I would be really interested to know,
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: like how all of these breweries contributed to it. Yeah,
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: Like I don't know much about how those collab brews go,
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: but like adventure to guess, like one brewery provides the equipment,
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: and the other brewery provides this, and the other brewer
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: provides that, and you know, somebody's got to be kind
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: of the brain child behind the whole thing, and like
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: it would just be interesting to know, with so many
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: cooks in the kitchen, how did that? How did this
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: come to be? It's really good and I like it.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: It's just a solid IPA, Like I said, it doesn't
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: pretend to do anything. It's just kind of straight up
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: the middle. They knocked it out of the park. It's
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: a good beer, easy drinking. Did you give your lawnmower scale?
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: I never did. I don't think you never did, so,
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: so I'll just give my thoughts overall. Yeah, it would
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: be fun. I think it would be cool to like
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: watch the YouTube video of the brew day for this beer,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: because I picture it as like just a bro day,
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: you know, just a bunch of dudes who like drinking
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: and brewing beer, hanging out and obviously being serious because
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: they ended up putting out a really good product. This
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: beer is really good. Six and a half percent IPA
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: Iowa brewed. This beer is like if I were to
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: describe my perfect beer and how it tastes and how
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: it was made. This one is definitely up there. It's
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: it's just a nice refreshing IPA. I think you said it.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: It doesn't do anything. It's not trying to be anything.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: It's not. It's just a really solid traditional IPA and
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: it's really good. So a line more scale. This one
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: is right up there, and it's kind of funny. I
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: did mow the lawn today and it was a tough
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: MO because I had to I have a push mower,
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: and it was pretty long.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: I probably it's been so rainy around here you probably
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: haven't been able to.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And I probably went like a few days
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: more than I should have between mos because I tried
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: to bag it in the first half of the front
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: yard and it was just clogging up. After I do one,
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: you know, I'd go up and down and then have
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: to clear out the bag, and then I go up
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: and down again. I have to clear out the bag,
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: and eventually about a third of the way through I
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: just ditched the bag. But that it was all club
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: and everything. So then I put the bag on after
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: I was done and had to like vacuum up everything.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: It was. It was a tough mo. And it was
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: pretty warm today and obviously showered afterwards. This this would
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: have been like a to have after that, build that
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: into it. That's up to you. So it would have
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: been a angel noises. Yeah, this one, even though it's
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: six point five, which as far as like lawnmower beers
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: is pretty high.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: It's pretty high on that go.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: This is a solid no, six point five percent is
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: what I mean. It's a six five percent alcohol.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: No, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, that's high on yeah
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: alcohol percent.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this one for me, it's a solid eight point
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: three wow, which is that's maybe one of the higher
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: ones I've ever had, if not the highest. I this
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: is a really good beer and in the shower after that,
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: mo easily I could have crushed two of these.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: It would have been so good. The shower beer is
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: severely underrated.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: Oh man, society, have you given a shower beer scale
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: on this beer?
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: This is like, I don't know, this might be up there.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: This might be a eight point seven whoa, yeah, whoa,
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: it's a good beer.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: We need another, like oh my gosh, like, oh my stars.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: Super good beer, though, I don't know, I don't know.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: It's just hard to come up with like a good
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: straightforward IPA anymore, because it feels like they've all got
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: these like it's.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: Got to do something different. It's got to be juicier,
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: it's got to be grapefruit, or it's got to be
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: milkshake or whatever.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: This is just it's just straightforward and good. Yeah, that's
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: all it is. That's all it is.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: And I kind of I think it's really cool that
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: it's a collaboration beer, but it kind of stinks because
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: I like it so much having it be a collaboration.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: It's probably not going to be put out too often.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: Maybe they do it once a year. Maybe they keep
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: this recipe and Green Tree keeps putting it out. I
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: don't know, but I would imagine this is just gonna
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: be like every once in a while, if ever again.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: So Green Tree please put this out again, or all
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: of the breweries please keep making this.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: This was really good, Yeah, super good beer. Talk about
• 1:14:22

• 1:14:24
