• 2:14
  Speaker 3: That So if you were nice enough to listen to
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: our last episode at one three, which we recorded during
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: the Monday night football game where the Vikings came back
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: against the Bears, we read our first ever ad for
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: That's Badass Wood Art. So a new sponsor, relatively new
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: sponsor for the Skull Hop is That's Badass Wood Art.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: So if you've never heard of them, they take solid,
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: high quality pieces of wood, and I'm holding up our
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: current version right now. We'll probably be adding to the
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Skull Mint Center something of theirs in the near future hopefully.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: But yeah, they take high quality pieces of wood and
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: cut out cool art pieces. This one says skull and
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: you can get any kind of art piece, not just
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Vikings related or sports related could be movie references, really
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: anything you can think of. They would even do custom
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: pieces too, if you contact them through their website. But
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: if you do want a little bit of a deal
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: on some of their items, if you order something on
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: their website, you can use the code skull Hop for
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: ten percent off any and all orders. I think that
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: would work for pieces like this skull piece I'm holding
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: up right now, even custom orders ten percent off any
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: and all orders with that skull Hop code. That's one word,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: and they will. They'll get you going with a really

• 3:44
  Speaker 3: hang up anywhere. They're pretty awesome.
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, super cool artwork.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: I'm definitely gonna be ordering something here for the holidays,
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: at least, maybe even sooner than that.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: So yeah, well we've got some beer to talk about.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: We do.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: I got the tonight and we usually have a routine
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: we've been doing this couple of years now, where this
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: time of year is like an october Fest time of year,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: which is fine. I like october Fest beers. It's a
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: fun season to be in. But I thought I'd switch
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: it up a little bit tonight. We have back Pocket Brewings,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Pumpkin Ale I have not had this one yet. I'm
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: actually just noticing right now there's an award on the
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: can for a World Beer Cup twenty I have terrible eyesight,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: so I can't see it, but it's an award winning
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: pumpkin pumpkin ale. Have you had this one before?
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: I haven't.
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: No.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: They do have a little bit of a description on
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: the can. It says, resembling the classic pie dessert, this
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: ale is loaded with a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: and vanilla. Pumpkin Ale was awarded a gold medal at
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: the World Beer Cup in twenty twenty three. Thank goodness,
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: they wrote that because I couldn't read the award. I'm
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: hit or miss on pumpkin beers. I've had a few before.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Sometimes they're way too sweet, sometimes they're way too pumpkiny.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: I've heard people say that, you know, people don't really
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: like pumpkin flavored things. They're just like nutmeg. So we'll
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: see how this falls.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: I like the description. It sounds like it's not going
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: to be like super pumpkin in your face. It's got
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: a good mix of some other stuff. So I like
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: pumpkin beer. I like pumpkin pie. Yes, so I'm not
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: ashamed to say that.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: I don't understand the hate that pumpkin pie gets to me.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: It's it's like the best.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: Pie there is.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, a little bit of whipped cream on top.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: I was a Thanksgiving baby, so I've always loved any
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Thanksgiving food pretty much. There are a few exceptions, like
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: I don't like sweet potatoes like candied yams because they're delicious,
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: and no, they're not mashed potatoes like regular white mashed
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: potatoes good. And then cranberry sauce. I just don't really
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: like berry sauce.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: I'm judging you a little bit right now.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: Like a good like cranberry salad, Yeah that would be good,
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: like mixed with like marshmallows and stuff, that would be good.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Everything you've said has just made me like you a
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: little bit less. So we need to we need to
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: start over here. Try out this beer. I had a
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: better poor than you did. But this color looks very pumpkiny.
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: It does. It doesn't smell super pumpkiny. It smells more
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: like a beer, which I like. Yeah, so well, let's
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: good to try school. Yeah that's pretty good.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not overpowering flavor on anything. Nope, still tastes
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: like beer, but you get in a really good way.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: You get some pumpkin. Yeah, especially on the back end.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: It's not in your face.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: It's not like. It's not like that.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: Pickle beer that we had a few weeks ago that
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: it was like, Nope, that's just not gonna do it
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: for me.
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: This is good.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: I like this and I like that it's uh, it's
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: got a beer base to it, like it tastes like
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: a beer with pumpkin. It's yeah, I'm happy this thing
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: won an award because in my eyes, it's a really
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: good beer.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: I feel like I think I said this a minute ago.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Some of these pumpkin ales, some of the pumpkin beers
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: that are out there, just taste like, you know, a
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: nutmeg beer, you know, like a nutmeg and sweet because
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: of the whipped cream beer.
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: It's it.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: I don't like them usually, but this one actually still
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: tastes like a beer. It's a good fall flavor. They
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: could name this something other than pumpkin ale, and it
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: would probably be more apt because I don't really get
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: much pumpkin at all, just kind of like an october
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Fest vibe from this is what I'm getting.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: I can definitely taste like the vanilla, the allspice, the nutmeg,
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: I can taste those things in there as well, but
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: I definitely get a little bit of pumpkin.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: So yeah, I like it. This would be a really
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: good Thanksgiving beer.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, good job, back Pocket. I'm looking forward to the
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: next couple that we have here and something I'm not
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: really looking forward to. Something we have to do because
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: if we don't talk about the Vikings and where we
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: even here with microphones in front of us, But yeah,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: we got to talk about the Vikings. We are almost
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: twenty four hours out at the time of recording from
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: the final whistle on that embarrassment of a Sunday night
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: football game against the Falcons, So that kind of tells
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: you where I'm thinking about this game. Evan. What are
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: your thoughts just initially about that Sunday night football game.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was abysmal. It was tough to watch.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: The offense looked lost, they looked like they didn't have anything.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: JJ McCarthy held onto the ball way too long for
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: most of the night, and the defense kept the Vikings
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: in it for a while. They were the reason that
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: the score was reasonably close and somewhat overcomeable for the offense,
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: but they just couldn't get it.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: They couldn't get it done.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: And yeah, I don't know what the answer is. I
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: don't know what the first things to fix and practice
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: are tomorrow when they go to practice, But I don't know.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: I'll say if I was a Vikings defender, I'd be
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: pretty upset right now. Not just upset because whenever your
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: team loses, you're upset and you try to think about
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: what you could have done better, bigger, faster, stronger to
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: give your team that much more of an edge to
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: win the game. But I mean, yes, the defense did
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: let a late touchdown go in, but I kind of
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: get the sense that that was more of a we
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: gotta let them score so that we can try to
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: have the ball back. Yeah, try to do something because
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: nothing's working. But overall, I think the defense did okay
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: as far as scoring. Now, they couldn't get off the field.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: The Falcons did whatever they wanted to do on offense.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: They ran up and down the Vikings all night and
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: it was really frustrating to watch. And then once the
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: defense finally would get off the field, the offense was
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: out for a three and out or an interception or
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: a fumble, or just the worst performance ever. I think
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: there was only one really really good play for the offense,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: and it was that bomb to Justin Jefferson at the
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: end of the half. Other than that, nothing, absolutely nothing.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: It was frustrating.
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: It was.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Really frustrating.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: You know what else is frustrating.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: We have to spin the wheel and we're a little
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: bit out of routine because normally we would pour the beer,
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: or we would.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: Do it before we poured the bear.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: I totally forgot, but we should probably.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: Do that and maybe update our listeners and viewers on
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: what that is.
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: So you just saved the episode.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: I would have gone the whole episode accidentally forgetting.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: Well, we can't go three in the hole. So let
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: me explain really quick for all of you at home
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: in case you don't know what the purple punishments are. Year,
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: we started a tradition for better or for Worse where
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: we created a random wheel.
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: We put these things on a wheel. I pull it
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: up on my.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: Computer and we use our preseason picks to determine if
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: we have to spin the wheel or not. So basically,
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: if we get a wrong pick, so if we picked
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: the Vikings to win a game and they end up
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: losing that game or vice versa, we have to spin
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: the wheel. Now, we both have made separate picks, so
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: we're both able to spin the wheel separately. However, for
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: these first two games, the Monday night game against the
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: Bears in Chicago and this last week's Sunday night game
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: against Atlanta at home, we both picked those incorrectly. We
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: both picked the Vikings to lose to the Bears on
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: Monday night, and then we both picked the Vikings to
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: beat Atlanta.
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: The other day and they did not.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: So we're going to spin the wheel two times. This
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: has been agreed upon. We were debating how we were
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: going to do it because we did live stream during
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: the Monday night game and we weren't quite prepared for
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: purple punishments and we didn't know the outcome of the
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: game at that point either. So and you can't really,
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: you know, spin the wheel at the end of the
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: game and then not not do it, do it, you know,
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: So we'll run you through a handful of the consequences
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: here on the Wheel of Purple Punishment.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think we need to say them all,
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: but I mean, if you're an eagle eye and you're watching,
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: you'll you'll be able to see the wheel probably, but yeah,
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: hang on, let me figure out where the list is.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: I'm also I'm out of practice with this whole apparatus too. Okay,
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: we have a we have a handful of jerseys from
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: the other teams in the conference or the division.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: So that's one where I don't know what happens if
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: we land on it tonight and.
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: We both have to do it.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we might just there's three of those pieces of
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: garbage over there, so maybe we just pick one.
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, what else do we have? We have whisper for
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: an entire episode.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: That would be interesting.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: That would be interesting. We have a fake beard, which
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: I don't think anybody wore last year. I did wear that,
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: Oh you did?
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, okay.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: We have win an eBay auction again, but this time
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: it would have to be for a dollar amount equivalent
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: to the margin of victory or loss. So the Vikings
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: lost what twenty one to six, twenty two to six,
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: So that's an eighteen point is my math on there?
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: No? Fourteen point? Sure, yeah, yeah, fourteen point.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: So you'd have to what you'd have to win an
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: eBay auction for that dollar amount sixteen sixteen, I teach English.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: I'm not gonna we have something spicy to eat again.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: We also have some other things that I won't get into,
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: but we'll spin it and we will suffer the punishment
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: of whatever we get for the Bears game.
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: And then we'll spin it immediately again.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Oh so we're spinning punishment and then spinning again.
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: I think, so okay, does that work?
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: Yep?
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: That works all right?
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: Hang on, gotta get the recording apparatus set up here,
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: but we'll get there. Which one are you least excited about?
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: I just don't want to do any of them.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: There is one that I feel is there's one that's
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: pretty dangerous.
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: And I forgot I turned on the Monday Night game
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: on my computer.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: I feel like the dangerous one is one that I
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: don't want to do, but like I will it's on there.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, what about you? Is there one that
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: you're not excited?
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: Don't want to eat something spicy because I feel like,
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: especially with beer, that would.
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: Be a bad idea. And we have another wax body part.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: I'm not worried about that one at all, but we've
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: decided that it's going to be a different body part
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: than specifically.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: We can say it armpits, right, yeah, yeah, armpit. I'm
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: kind of more worried about that. I forgot about that
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: par but yeah, I think we just rip off the
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: wax seal here, all right and get it done. Here
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: we go spinning for the Bears game.
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: We will have to we're landed on it first track.
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: All right, let's uh, let's do this.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: We gotta figure out logistically how this is gonna work.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: This is gonna Who wants to go first?
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: I don't know, but.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: All right, I'm trying to think which side which? Which
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: one do you want?
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: You should go with your right and with my left?
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: I don't even know. You might just have to yeah,
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: or all right, so I'll go shirtless. I'll go first.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: Okay, man, we better we better read the instructions on
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: how to use these again.
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: These these say legs and body.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: I think hold on before you do that. I think
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: there's two of them. See oh so I think one
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: strips apart.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, apply one strip to your skin.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Yep, there's two here.

  Speaker 4: Hold tab, hold skin tat, pull strip back as fast
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: as you can.

• 18:16
  Speaker 5: best shirt. Oh, I'm gonna need a shower. The aftermath
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: is almost worse than the actual thing. I'm tearing up.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: I cried a little bit.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: I do feel like you did a better tear than
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: I did.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: I did the better application job too.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I mean there's that's kind of really gross.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: I don't know if we should My shirt is take
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: a picture of this. Yeah, mine too. That's that's pretty bad.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Should we destroy the evidence here? Yeah?
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: Put them just put them together. Oh wait, all right,
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: we'll throw them away. Oh man, that was. Now it's done.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: Now we don't have to wax.
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: Anything, so that one comes off the list. All right.
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: There are a few tears shed. There's a whole lot
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: of sticky stuff.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, men need to take like a brief intermission to go.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: I don't even know. It's not like we're gonna shower
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: right now. Oh man, that was.
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: It might just have to deal with it.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: It still stings.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: Oh it stings, and it's sticky and skinny, and maybe
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: the sticky part at.
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: All, like you can't put your arm down and.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: Like you almost have to just like glue it in,
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: like I just yep, this is a it's an episode long.
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: And then you go to do that. I think it's
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: better to just leave it out. Yeah. Maybe I'm just
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: gonna go like this.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, well that was that was one.
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: We did it.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: We upheld our.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: Integrity, but we get for picking against the Vikings week
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: one against the Bears.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then they win. So now now this one
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: double hurts because we're going to spin it again.
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: For I thought it would be a win. You're ready
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: for a number two.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: I'm ready, all right, round two.
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: They're picking all the painful ones.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: All right, all right, so this one was your idea
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: getting Sting punked.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we didn't think this all the way through, because
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: we could do you want to defer this, we could reroll. Okay,
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: I think to do this one the right way, we
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: need paddles.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we don't have paddles.
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: We have the balls, but not the battles. Well that's
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: what she's saying.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: I guess, all right, rolling again, I guess call us
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: out if you think we're not doing this the right way, whisper.
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: Your episode. This might be a punishment for the listener
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: more so than us.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: Despite we'll say like, well, we'll do a starting point,
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: but this if you have like what is the ASMR
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: or whatever, this might get at you a little bit.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: I don't know. We gotta have fun with this one,
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: so we're gonna whisper for the rest of the episode.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: We will decide exactly when that's gonna start, Evan, the
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: first Purple punishments of the year. What do you think
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: so far?
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: I'm ready for my armpit to be back to normal,
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: and if it's anything like my leg that I waxed
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: last year, it's gonna take about a month.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: Well for the hair, probably, yeah, but I'm more worried, like,
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: is it gonna be irritated?
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know. We'll see, all right, all right,
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: when are we gonna start whispering?
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: I think we just need to decide and then go
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: for probably do it. We've poured our next beers here.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: We've punished ourselves. Oh no, everyone has already stopped listening.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: Let us know in the comments if you're still listening
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: up to this point, and if you ought the waxing
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: was worth worth the pain, yes.
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: I blame you because it's it still feels like it's there,
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: even though it's.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: It's definitely still sticky.
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: All right, we need to start whispering now. We gotta
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: follow through on this bet.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: All right, we're ready, three two one.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, you're not gonna be able to do it, are you.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna try really hard. And this is gonna be
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: funny because we're gonna say here and complain about the
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Vikings in a whispered tone. Mm hmm, all right, back
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: to the Vikings. Fuckings. I mentioned the Vikings couldn't stop
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: the run. This is not gonna work. If you're laughing
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: at me.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: You started it, you wrote it down, Okay, continue for.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Real though to more things from me. There were a
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: couple of coaching decisions that I thought were awful, namely
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: the punt on fourth and one with nine plus minutes left,
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: when you're down by two scores? How do you do that? Why?
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: And I know koc I heard him in a press conference.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: He said that he was a little spooked. Why he
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: didn't use the words that he was spooked, but he
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: said he took into account earlier in the game that
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: there was a kind of a botch snap on a
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: QB sneak and it didn't go well. But if you're
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: really telling me that that previous play is the reason
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: for not going for it later in the game with
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: the game on the line you're playing not to lose.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: But that botch snap wasn't It wasn't fumbled, it wasn't
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: a turnover. JJ lost the ball. I know exactly what
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: he's saying.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, whispering is gonna be hilarious.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope we don't lose some followers.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: I hope we don't weirdly gain some bulls.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Can you guys only whisper from now on?
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Okay? Yeah, that punting on fourth down is gonna bother
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: me for a long long time. I don't know how
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: you can make that decision.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Well, it also seemed like there just weren't the playbook
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: didn't seem deep, it didn't seem like there were a
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: lot of options, and it seemed like Koc wasn't really
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: like fully willing to hand the keys over to JJ
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: and say, all right, here's the nice, shiny lambeau that
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: we have for you. You know, and the Vikings have a
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: good offense. Ye, when the offensive lineus Elsie, they're great.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: And then you've got some incredible skill players.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, one of those skilled players I'm starting to be
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: concerned about. I'm a little concerned about Dj Hopkinson. Yeah,
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: he's he's not doing great. Your armbit's not doing great, and.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Everything over here is not doing great.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: I've actually heard whispering is terrible for your voice. So
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: teaching tomorrow, Yeah, I thought all day today. Yeah I didn't.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: I don't teach. It's okay. I'm reading a book to
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: my class right now. Do you think they would pay
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: more attention if I whispered? Some of them might, And
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: that's a little creepy. Anyways, you said, TJ. TJ. Hockkinson,
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: he's concerning me. Apparently he's blocking really well, and admittedly
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: I'm not paying attention to tight end blocking. Like for
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: me and my level of attention, you'd have to have
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: like a big pancake to open up a huge touchdown
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: for me to really notice. And to credit, he did
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: kind of seal the touchdown saving block in JJ McCarthy's
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: rushing touchdown against the Bears. Yeah, but other than that,
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: like he's supposed to TJ. Hockinson, he's supposed to be
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: like a playmaking pass catching highlight reel of a tight
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: end wide receiver. Three he could had a tight end
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: and frankly, frankly, we haven't seen that since before his injury.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: A while ago. So I'm I'm a little concerned about
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: our guy from from Iowa here. I hope I'm overblowing it.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: I hope I'm wrong, but it seems like he has
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: lost not just a step, but some playmaking ability.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: I think another player to be concerned about, and we
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: could maybe transition to talking about this laundry list of injuries,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: is Harrison Smith. He's been m i A. I mean,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: he's been around, he's not like gone from the team,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: but he's not been practicing. He's not even I don't
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: know that he's even suited up. He's been limited in
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: practice for the last two weeks, so that's and for
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: a few weeks.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Before that too. Now, don't get us wrong, I think
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: I can speak for both of us when I say,
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: like when they say, hey, there's a personal matter, people
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: are entitled to their privacy. This could be nothing. It
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: could be like a weird ankle and he just doesn't
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: want to disclose it, or it could be something horrific.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: You know. I hope everything's okay, and we're not saying
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: tell us what's wrong. But it's a different defense. When
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: he's not out there, he's if nothing else, just for
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: the experience and the ability to be a captain out
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: there and line people up if needed and pick up
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: the slack if needed. He's just not out there. And
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: I don't care how good Jay Ward and Theo Jackson
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: end up being in their careers. Neither of them, you know,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: God bless them, but neither of them will ever be
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: hears and Smith nobody will. Well, he's a Hall of
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Fame player. But yeah, you did mention it. There's a
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: lot of injuries, not just Harrison Smith.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the list is, it's really lengthy, and
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: it's it's.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Honestly not that great right now.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Like you got Ryan Kelly, your big name center that
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: you brought in to takeover for Brad Berry, who's out
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: with a concussion just in school, who's.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: Covering for.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Darris all right now, he's out with a concussion. You
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: got Ty Chandler and c J. Ham on the IR already.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Jeff Akuda has a concussion, Aaron Jones is dealing with
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: a hamstring. JJ McCarthy could be dealing with an ankle injury.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: That's huge.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: The list goes on and on and on. The Green Dot.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: The quarterback of your defense, Blake Cashman is out with
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: a hamstring, And.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: I think just to pause on Cashman here a little bit.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: What happened last season when he was out? They slid
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: living basin and Pace played worse because he couldn't play
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: free because he had to be the captain, you know,
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: the quarterback of the defense. And we're seeing we saw
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: that again yesterday. How many tackles did I and Pace
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: miss a lot? How many guys were probably not lined
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: up correctly because they didn't have Blake Cashman over there
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: and lining everybody up. Losing Blake Cashman on the defense
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: is massive and really tough to win any football game
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: without Blake Cashman and Andrew van Kinkell, who both missed yesterday.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Just too many injuries.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be tough to overcome, and it's gonna
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: be hard to keep winning games. The good news is
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: I feel like there's still some depth. Yeah that sucks,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: doesn't it.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a some terrible stickiness in the armpit area. Yes, yeah,
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: this is a bit. It's not good.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Anyways, I feel like there's a little bit of hope
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: in that, like playing the Bengals this next week, which
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: we'll get to in a little bit. Joe Burrow's out
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: kind of indefinitely for the Bengals right now, that could
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: be a great chance for the Vikings to rebound. The
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Bengals are not good when Joe Burrow doesn't play for them,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: but when he does, they're pretty good.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: It could be an opportunity, even with a backup quarterback,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: even with a bunch of second stringers, for the Vikings
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: to come in and.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: Rebound. I'm trying to pull up the the betting line
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: for that game. You're better at navigating ESPN than I am.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: But I think the Vikings. The initial lines came out
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: and the Vikings were favored, and even after all the
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy news and everything, Vikings I believe are still favored. Yeah.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Five and a half right now. Yeah. Now, I will say,
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: last time the Vikings played the Bengals, it was in
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, after Kirk Cousins at his achilles injury.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Jake Browning was the quarterback for the Bengals because Joe
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Burrow was injured then as well, and Browning orchestrated a
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Bengals victory over the Vikings. So it's not a given
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: the Vikings are gonna host the Bengals with a burrow
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: and they're gonna win.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: That's not I'm not saying yeah yet. I'm just saying
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: like there could be an opportunity there if they take
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: advantage of it.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: You know. Yeah, I'm I'm probably gonna get injured here.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: My voice is already feeling I don't know if you
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: can feel it in your voice. It I'm struggling.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like you have to clear your throat every
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: like thirty seconds.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So if you're still listening and wondering why we're
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: whispering and didn't catch ten minutes ago, we have to
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: whisper this whole episode because of our Purple Punishment segment.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: So that's also true if I clip anything out and
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: you're just watching a portion of this or whispering because
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: of the Purple Punishment. So go check that out. We've
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: kind of danced around it. JJ McCarthy ankle injury. Adam
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Schefter reported that JJ McCarthy's probably looking at two to
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: four weeks of being out. If it's that four weeks
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: that lines up perfectly with him coming back after the
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: bye week, that would mean he would miss the Bengals
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: game and the two europe begin and I don't know,
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: just being in Europe for two weeks kind of make
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: your decision a little bit different as far as rehab goes.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: And another aspect of that is it's gonna be the
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: most Vikings thing ever if Carson Wentz comes out and
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: throws for two hundred and fifty yards a couple touchdowns
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: and looks good. And then what if all of these
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: things that we're seeing. Defense starts stopping the run, the
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: offensive line starts playing way better. Shoot, even if Darrisa
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: comes back, you know, people start getting healthier and the
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: quarterback play looks better. What do you do when McCarthy
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: is healthy. Do you stick with a theoretical hotter hand
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: in Carson Wentz if he plays well, or do you say, hey, McCarthy,
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: still give me one. He's healthy, it's his job get
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: out there and run the risk of having him not
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: look great again. I don't know.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: I'm probably of the opinion that you stick with the
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: hot hand. And if Carson Wentz is playing well or
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: you know, who knows, it could even be Max Brosman.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: You know, if something happens to Wentz or he plays terribly,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: you know, whoever's the hot hand in the moment. If
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: you keep winning games, you keep playing those guys, and
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: you go until they prove that they've lost the job.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: So what I would hate to see is I would
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: hate to see the Vikings do what the Colts did
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: with Anthony Richardson and just kind of give up on him.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: And I feel like the Panthers kind of did that
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: with Bryce Young a little bit. They haven't given up
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: on him necessarily, but they also haven't done a lot
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: to like put quality guys around him. And I think
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: ownership was a big problem in Carolina. That changed and
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: hopefully that will change.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: I don't think they sold the team.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Maybe it wasn't ownership, maybe it was the president. Yeah,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: something something that somebody in the upper level anyways, But yeah,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: I hope that doesn't happen. I don't think that will happen,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: but yeah, I think it will appear that way to
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Vikings fans and the league in general. If let's play
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: it out. You know, JJ is out for a handful
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: of weeks nursing this ankle injury, and Carson Wentz goes
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: in or whoever goes in, I think it will appear
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: like they gave up on JJ. But I don't think
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: that'll be the case. And I think Quacy and Koc
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: are really good behind the microphone in those press conference
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: situations to communicate clearly, this is what we're doing, this
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: is why we're doing it, and this is the plan
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: for now. And they'll be very careful with their words
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: and they'll have, you know, very precise language. But I
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: don't know, we'll see what happens. It'll be interesting.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: They do have to be careful because botching a first
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: round pick quarterback, whether it's picking the wrong guy or
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: making the wrong decision about his health and rehab and
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: starting ability, those decisions can easily get gms and coaches fired.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: And I'm not saying I want either of them fired
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: right now. I think they're both doing a really good job.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: But it's shaky waters right now.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: A front of the show, Leighton Glodek, I think a
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: few weeks ago, still during training camp, said something to
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: the tune of what if JJ McCarthy becomes Trey Lance
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: and Max Brosenberg becomes Rock Party And I'm terribly misquoting him,
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: but it's that general idea. But can you imagine I
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: don't think any Niners fan right now is mad that
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: they have competent quarterback play. They might be annoyed that
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: they're third overall pick never panned out, but at least
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: they still have a guy. It would be the most
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Vikings thing ever to be so excited about one guy
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: and then not only have him not pan out, but
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: have somebody else pan out way better. But having to
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: eat that ego of like, yeah, we picked their own
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: guy again, way too early. I'm not saying that's what's
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: gonna happen, but it would be very Vikings.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: And I think with JJ two, like we have to
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: talk about the fact that he'll play more football for
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: the Vikings soon, Like, yeah, we're not done seeing JJ McCarthy,
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: and I think we all want to see more, right,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Like the sample size is just too small to really
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: make a judgment. Yes, we now have eight quarters, and
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: seven of those eight quarters looked really really bad. Yeah,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: and one of those eight quarters was amazing. Yeah, and
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: it pushed the Vikings to win, which was awesome to
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: watch a few weeks ago against the Bears. But there's
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: a lot of growing up to do, and there's a
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: lot of learning the game, and I think not doing
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: any like a full speed full contact, padded like anything
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: for a year, probably messed with his ability to react,
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: you know, like quarterback is such a reactionary position and
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: it's gonna take time for him to build that back up.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: And we also have to consider the fact that I'm
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: making a lot of points all at once, I guess,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: but they're just coming to mind as I talk. The
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: college game is so much different than the NFL game
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, and he I think he's
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: still adjusting to that aspect of the game as well.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Yep, just to throw it out there again, we are
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: whispering because we have to as a part of the
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: purple punishment segment. We are also nursing so or armpits
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: because we had to wax our armpits. I do want
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: to apologize to you. I feel like I could have
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: had a better a better tear. I tried to be
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: assertive and just go, but obviously I didn't do it right.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: So I'm sorry. I'd probably cause some pain for you there.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: I would like to point out that you whisper way
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: better than I did. I'm hurting right now, so maybe
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm actually yelling what darn what?
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: So the vikings are hosting the Bengals. Initial thoughts.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Just let's just.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: Get it out of the way. Who do you think wins? Sorry,
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: we got new toys, a couple all elements that we
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: we put up.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: Like I said a little bit ago, I think it's
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: a great opportunity for the Vikings to rebound. Again, not
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: saying that because bros out that guarantees of Vikings win.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: That's not what I'm saying. But I do think if
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: it presents an opportunity, and I think Kosi is a
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: really good coach who takes advantage of opportunities like that.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: He'll see the opportunity to step in and find a
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: way to win that game, and I think he'll put
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: it's not going to be pressure for Brian Flores, but
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: it'll be like it'll kind of be like a passing
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: of the baton almost of like the defense can win
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: this for us. Do your think, like, bust out some
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: of your your crazy plays and put some of your
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: guys like get Joshuma, tell us crazy involved. Let's let's
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: get that guy some sacks or something like or an
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: interception or two that would be awesome.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: Let's let's get some of these other guys going, let's
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: get those new interior defensive linemen in the backfield.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: And they were getting close, like they were like.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: They were just like I could tell as I watched
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: that game against the Falcons, that is like it was
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: only a matter of time before they were going to
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: get back there to Penix, and I think if the
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: game would have been longer, they would have been fresh
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: and healthy, they would have gotten back there more than
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: they did.
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: Hopefully. I guess Hargrave and Allen left a lot to
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: be desired against the Falcons. They were playing hard, but
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: the results weren't there. I think the PFF grades came
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: out and both of them were in the bottom five
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: of the defensive grades, just not great. So yeah, all
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: of that, though you didn't You didn't say who you
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: thought would win. Oh was I supposed to say that?
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: I asked. You might not have heard me. I'm whispering
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: what I can't hear.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: Well, let's go to uh, let's go to the spreadsheet here.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: I picked this as a win preseason pick. You picked
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: this as a loss. Yeah, so one of us will
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: spend the wheel next week and only one. I'm gonna
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: stick with a win, though, Okay, I think it's a
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: win for the Vikings. I think they rebound. I think
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Kosi's gonna it's gonna be one of those like historic
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: level practices, like like two years ago when they kept
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: fumbling the ball and then he brought out the big
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: fumble sticks at practice. Like, I think it's gonna be
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: one of those weeks at practice for the Vikings, like
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: we're not gonna do that again, and we're gonna get
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: better at some of the little things. So you're just
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: spilled on your pants.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: Ye got to drop on my pants. We never waste
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: beer around here. We do not waste beer. It's all right,
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: I ever, I'll suck it out later. That was a
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: weird thing to say. Yeah, at least I whispered it,
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: so it was only ten times creepier. I think the
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Vikings are gonna lose this one. I think we're looking
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: at a rough season. I was very optimistic last year,
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: but I'm concerned about JJ McCarthy. I don't think he's done,
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: but I don't think he's ready made to insert and go.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: I think it's going to take some development, and I
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: hope it works eventually, but I don't think we're there yet.
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: And he's not even playing the next month or so,
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: so I think the Bengals are going to come in.
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: They're gonna be more prepared. The Vikings are in a
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: little bit of an f mode right now and it's
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: going to be a rough, rough few weeks. So I
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: think they lose to the Bengals.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: Sorry, I was starting on the other Monday night football
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: game yep, and I forgot that the volume was up.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: It's tied three three Chargers and oh that's great, Raiders.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: And the other Monday night.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: Game nineteen to twenty, nineteen.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: To twenty, the Bucks squeaked one out yep against the Texans.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: Good for them. You're still way better at whispering than
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: I am. I I appreciate it. This sounded really good.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: It's weird. It's a weird it's weird to hear that
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: and come from someone who's whispering. I really hope we
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: haven't lost all of our listeners so far. I didn't
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: plan this, but I do have a question for you,
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: a based off of a tweet so in front of
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: the show, Dustin Bicker, who we need to have on
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: again soon. It's been a while. It's been a while,
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: he tweeted, kind of a long one. Bear with me here,
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: he said, the Viking season, especially at QB, can now
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: bend six ways. And he doesn't say which of the
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: six he prefers, but I think we can figure it out.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: I just want to hear your thoughts after you hear
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: all of these six ways. First off, he says, Carson
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: Wentz balls out or plays decently in the next few
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: weeks until JJ returns. That's it, you know, just he
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: plays decently or balls out and then JJ comes back.
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: Next scenario is Carson Wentz stinks and they give Max
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: Brosemur a peek while eventually returning to McCarthy. It's kind
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: of the same as the first, still returning to McCarthy.
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: It's just both guys get a look. Third scenario, Carson
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: Wentz plays too well and the Vikings are in no
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: rush to reinsert McCarthy. I mean, I would hope that
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: if Wentz balls out and puts up elite numbers in
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: the next few weeks, they don't just immediately go back
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: to McCarthy because he's the guy. Fourth scenario is Brosmer
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: takes the job from Wentz and the Brock party scenario
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: is born. Kind of like what I just said. Leydon
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: Glodak mentioned a little while ago FI scenario wins and
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: or Brosmer are merely average and McCarthy returns soon without
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: controversy to resume his development. I think that's best case,
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: as long as he JJ continues to develop. And then
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: his final scenario, which is kind of funny and probably
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: most likely, he says everybody sucks and a top ten
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: draft pick is on the way. So what do you
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: think is the most likely of that scenario? Most likely?
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: Probably the fifth option of the sixth. Both the backups
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: are average. Wentz hasn't shown anything in his career direct
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know that being on this team won't change much.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: Now Koc is known as the quarterback whisper, and you
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: know that could prove to be a catalyst for change
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: with a quarterback like Wentz. But I don't foresee that
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: going well. I don't foresee it going badly, but I
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: don't foresee it going well. And I don't know that
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: Brosmer is really gonna like come out, and you know
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: the chances of having a mister irrelevant type of kind
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: of situation with Rock Party that the Niners found. It's
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: like it's kind of like comedically ironic that they're the
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers because it's like striking gold, you know,
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: like you don't come across that every day.
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah and.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's uh. I think that's the most likely scenario
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: at Kyle Barker tweeted option seven as a Colin Kaepernick
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: comes back in place for the Vikings.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: I would stop rooting for the Vikings this year. He's
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: still out there apparently apparently, so am I. I'm available TOKFC.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: I'm officially putting my name in the in the hat there.
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: I think he I think Kaepernick and I both had
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: the same chances of playing quarterback in the NFL. Again,
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: that's funny.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: Well, what do you think is gonna happen?
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you, Wednesday or Brosmer, I'm merely average.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: McCarthy returns soon. Yeah, I'm just more concerned about McCarthy
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: becoming good and and I hope that happens. But I
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: don't think the next few weeks are going to steal
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: away his opportunity to develop as a quarterback. I think
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: we're gonna have a rough season, and I think the
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: next few weeks are gonna be a part of that
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: rough season, So we'll see, we'll see how it works.
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I think we're not gonna be there's not
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: gonna be a controversy. We're not going to be saying, hey,
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: obviously Wentz played way too good and why are we
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: putting JJ in there? The same with Rosmer, It's just
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: we know what we haven't once. Rosmer was a small
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: school guy until last year and then he went to Minnesota,
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: which is not the biggest of schools. So we'll see.
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to see how it plays out. But
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: of anything, I think now i'm as of last night
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: watching that game, I'm more realistic about what the season
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: is gonna be. JJ didn't look great, and it's not
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: because he didn't have time. I saw a tweet today
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: saying he had like more than three seconds basically every
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: single play, apart from a couple of times where a
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: rusher came free untouched. It's gonna take some time and
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: I just hope JJ figures it out.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, agreed, I hope I can figure out how to
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: get this stuff out.
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: Of my arm pit. Yeah, this is it's gonna be rough.
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: It's bad, and I'm gonna have to take a shower
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: I wasn't planning on doing that tonight, but yeah, that's
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: all right. Well, I think we've we've kind of talked
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: about everything. Yeah, I'm kind of tired of whispering me too.
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: Before we close out, What did you think of this beer?
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: After a few?
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: This is definitely a pier that I'm gonna get again.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: And I say that a lot, but it's so good.
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: It's really good. I like this.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: It's it's not a pumpkin ale that's in your face.
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: And I've had plenty of those that's just like whoa,
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: that's like that's like a pumpkin pie times ten, and
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: I don't necessarily want that.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: In a beer.
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: I want a beer with some of those spices, some
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: of that vibe, but it still tastes like a beer,
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: and this is that.
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: It's really good. I agree for me. They could change
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: the name from pumpkin aale to like fall spices or
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: you know, like fall vibes or Thanksgiving vibes or something
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: that could change the name away from pumpkin and it
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: would still be accurate. I think it's really good. It's
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: one of the few pumpkin ales that doesn't taste like
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: a dessert beer. It's a beer.
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. Thanksgiving. Just I just had
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: a really hilarious memory. Do you remember when we were
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: in high school and we convinced our Venezuelan friend that
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: it wasn't Thanksgiving it was Turkey Day?
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: No, I do not remember that.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: You don't remember now?
• 51:52
