• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I'm your host Siaminson, sitting across from me as a
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: guy who criticizes my intro every week with his little smirk.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen. The co host, Chad Daniels, Hello, everybody,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: listen to me. I'm not in the mood.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I know you're not.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, I know I'm not in the mood.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Nobody is.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: As a Viking fan, I'm not in the mood. And
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: it's not just that we lost to the Bears last
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: week the way we did. It's that that happened, and
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: now it's Packer week, and I know you have a
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: lot of relationships with Packer fans. I don't know what's happening,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: but the amount of trash talk early and often from
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Packer fans is hitting me at a aggressive level.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Sure, I'm just gonna throw this out there. I believe
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: that the Packers and the Eagles should get all their
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: primetime games taken for the next seven years, because that
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: was the worst game of football I've ever seen.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: By the way, you know, how everyone's like right now
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: when the team's not doing as well as say they
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: were last year. It's interesting what happens to the fan base,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: right Some people get really negative and really really critical.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Some people get really really defensive and really really homery.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: You know. It's kind of like, Oh, I don't know
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: the American political system, and there's no gray area whatsoever.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Rights there is, we exist in it, but the gray
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: area doesn't get discussed. And the only thing I will
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: say about some of the I've heard some people who
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: are very positive and homery who are really upset. And
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I had one friend go like, I'm embarrassed. He was like,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I'm embarrassed by how dramatically we're reacting to some struggle.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: And I go, let me, let me tell you a
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: little bit about reacting to struggle in a fan base.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: A friend of the program, Blake Wexler, like Flong Eagles
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: die Hard, sent me this. There is an Instagram account
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: right now whose sole purpose is comparing a coach, an
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: assistant coach on the Eagles to Saddam Hussein. That's what's
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: happening interesting over in Eagle Land where they're a super
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Bowl favorite. So I actually think we're doing okay.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder if the person that started that account
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: is the same guy that ate the cop horse crap
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: after they won the Super Bowl.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: That's the only way I could have done that to
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: his brain to make him do that.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Somebody's got worms.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: But here's the thing, man, Like, I am a little
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: riled up because I've been getting just and I'm not
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: in the mood to engage back. This isn't a fun year.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: This like or moment for Packer Week for me, so
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: like I want to win. I still dislike them, and
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I shouldn't say it's not fun. It's like I don't
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: really have the ammo to go back, right, you know,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: you can't quite go back as hard. So what I've
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: been doing, and I want you to tell me what
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: you think about this, I'm not engaging at all. I'm
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: only I'm not trash talking bast silent treatment, yeah, silent treatment, no,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: not quite all they trash talk me. If any of
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the Packer fans trash talk me, I just send them
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: back a fact about their state that I think is absurd,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: and then I no matter what they say after that,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: then they get silent treatment. So, for example, somebody said
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: some really negative things to me, some heavy duty trash talk,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: and all I wrote back was Wisconsin once had two
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: local towns argue over who would get a thirty foot
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: tall fiberglass badger statue, so enjoy the game. A Milwaukee
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: resident legally changed his name to Count Justinian de mort
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Or a Cape daily slept in a coffin shaped bed,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: and petition the May to declare his birthday vampire appreciation day,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: and I'd still rather hang with him than talk football
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: with you. That's the sort of stuff that I'm sending back.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: That's smart.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Wisconsin currently has seventeen hundred and sixty bridges that need
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: to be repaired, and I assume that's because your fans
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: keep walking on them. That is the sort of stuff
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: it's It could be a heavy foot joke. I'm not
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: gonna let you paint it the way you wanted to
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: paint it. That's an interpret it however you want it.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: But that is how I am just I'm just taking
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: shots at Wisconsin culture in response to the football trash
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: talk I'm receiving.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Well, that's a smart way to do it. I mean,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: there are a lot of those. I've been to Wisconsin
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: several times, so have you to perform live stand up comedy, and.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: You know it is that's actually the origin of our friendship,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: don't right. No, I don't know how many people know that.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Our friendship not the birth birth, but I think the
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: growth of our pl when it flourished. You want to
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: tell it, you want to tell the people.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Well, we were in Appleton, Wisconsin, which is just south
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: of Green Bay, and we were working at the Skyline
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Comedy Cafe and what year do we.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Think this is? Back in twenty two thousand and seven
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: it was the far of year. What year was far
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: twenty nine, two thousand and nine.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, so we're there and we're doing We used to
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: do this decathlon thing where we would do ten events
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: that were somewhat athletic. Right, it was like wiffleball, home run,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: derby contest. Yeah, just stuff like that that wasn't the
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: actual game game, but it was derivative of it. So
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: we would do that and then on the and then
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: we were playing cribbage at the club for I think
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: it was the tenth event.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: And then it's funny how the athleticism started with the
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: athletes or with athletics and whittled down to let's play
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: cards and move toothpick.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Well towards towards the end of the week. You don't
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: have access, right, you can't like quick run to the
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: ry Ymca in between sets. But what you can do
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: is right before a set is you can put on
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: a Vikings Brett Favre jersey like you did. And then
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: I heard you get I heard you get introduced, and
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: then I heard just thick booing without you having said anything.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Now, it's it was right before. It was right before
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the first game that Brett Farve played the Packers as
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: a Viking. It was the it was the Saturday night
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: before that was going to happen, I think on a Monday.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah and uh. And the people were I'm gonna go
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: with less than pleased yeah.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: And so that's when I thought to myself, like, yeah,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: I think that he and I have a pretty similar brain.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I the way I know we have similar brain is
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: because you might not remember this. So I went up
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: on stage. Cliff, who ran the club, pulled the lights
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: up because and I quote, he was pretty sure somebody
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: was going to throw a glass at me because I
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: was doing the Hulk Hogan like bump up up like
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: hand to the ear motion, over and over. And then
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: you ran to the booth and as I was going up,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: played the Monday night football theme music. That's the one
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: thing that I remember. And here we are years later
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: with the team letting us be involved, which.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: That's right, and our friendship barely hanging on.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Jay the producer just said that people throw pool balls
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: on the field at players during that game. During the
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Lambeau game, when Farv went back there for the first
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: time and had signs comparing Farv to Fredo from The Godfather.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: So I didn't get the pool balls.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: I knew it was you, but.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: You could you know, you could feel that that would
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: probably be the reaction in that room night, because I
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: believe Appleton is where the opposing team stay. So Appleton
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: they're not just pack Vans. I think they feel like
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: they're really a part of it.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I went to a Vike's Packer game Lambeau
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: and Brett Farv was still the quarterback Dante Culpeppers for US.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Dante Culpepper was getting murdered. I'm saying straight up murdered,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: and Brett Favre would get touched on the shoulder. It
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: would be like you wouldn't even know if he was
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: down playing touch football and they'd throw a flag. So
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I start freaking out. I'm screaming down the field and
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: here's the section around me, right, just a couple rows
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: started chanting all before I know it, within the minute,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: the entire stadium. Here's the crazy thing about this stadium
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: is they don't have to know, they don't have to
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: have witnessed what happened. They just know if somebody sends
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: out the bat signal, we have to join in. And
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: so this entire stadium was chanting that. And then we
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: were at the bar afterwards back in Appleton, because we
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: were staying at the same hotel that the Vikes were
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: staying at, and we're at the bar right next door,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: and then this Packer fan comes in. He goes, oh, man,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: somebody from Minnesota really got it tonight because everybody was chanting.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: And my buddy goes, he's right here, this guy. And
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: I really didn't even do anything to deserve it other
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: than yelling. Because remember when Farv and even even Rogers
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: that whole thing. The Packers got a lot of calls.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: They were the chiefs. They were the chiefs of the
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: early two thousands, so it was tough.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Can I ask you a question about Lambeau, please, because
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: begrudgingly I think we can both admit such a cool place.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: It's great.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe this is a dumb comparison, but it's the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: closest you get to the English soccer vibe, where a
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: tiny town of a few tens of thousands has a
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: giant stadium in a team. That's what it feels like
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: it's so incredible. But the question I always have, and
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I always ask when I meet somebody from Green Bay
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: or who lives there, like in today's modern age, with
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: how big it's all become, how do you experience that?
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Because you and I Alexandria Fergus Falls, my dad's from
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Detroit Lakes, were right near Detroit Lakes, and we know
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: what it's like when we Fest comes to Detroit Lakes, right,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: And I know a guy who told me once he's like,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: I would rather eat my own foot than be in
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Detroit Lakes during we Fest. And I wonder, I mean,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: you either have to lean one way or another. If
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: the Vikings move to Fergus Falls, Yeah, and you still
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: live there, are you loving every minute of that? Or
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: do you want to get out of Fergus Falls and
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: travel to where the Vikings play? Would you love a
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: pro team in your tiny small town? No?
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: No, no, because too many people come, so you know,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: even in the summertime, have a little cabin up there.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: There's a town called Battle Lake that has I think
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: I think eight thousand people in it. No, that's way
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: too big. Maybe, I mean we might be talking about
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: even hundreds of people in it. And then in the
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: summertime it's thirty thousand people. Yes, and so that's too
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: much because you never know. You don't get to vet
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: who's coming. No one has to fill out an application
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: to get into the town, and I'm not into it.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: It would be you know, of the imagination scenarios of
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: ways you could get rich. I do think one of
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: the cool ways would be like, yeah, we just owned
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: a couple of houses in Green Bay, kind of near
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: the stadium, and then twenty years later we're like, well,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: let's go buy a palace and retire somewhere. Yeah, that's
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: all time real estate because those houses and they're like
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: that is one of the cooler parts of the vibe
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: is just walking past that row of houses that are
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: all partying and tailgating. That feels so authentic and uniqueere
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: You're like, that's a neighborhood, that's a stadium, and Chad
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: could probably hit both of them with a baseball.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty interesting. And speaking of owning things, and
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: the Packers, boy do their fans love to tell you
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: that they own the team. But when you say, hey,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: call down to the field and let's run this one,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: they don't have any access to that. So you don't
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: own anything. Let's just stop it. They gave you a
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: certificate so you could feel important.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more. I think that's a great place
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: to take to break because I want you to have
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: that last negative word. We're gonna come back. We're going
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: to talk about other stuff. But I couldn't agree more
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: with that assessment. Actually I lied. I'll tack on top
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: of it. I do think they're a lot like trust
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: fund kids. They just keep getting stuff no matter how
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: you know, no matter what happens, they just keep getting good,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: nice things. But let's we don't need to devolve. Let's
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: get into the game itself. Yeah, growing up, like you're
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: you're thirty years older than me, so we you experienced
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: this as a later stage adult, while I was experiencing
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: it as a child. But it's interesting to think back
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: to that mystique that was built and that existed through
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: most of our formative years. I think some younger fans think,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: like lambeau is this forever iconic, and it's not. They
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: had split their games with Milwaukee before ninety five, and
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: in ninety five they go full lambeau Field. From that
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: point on, they go on an absurd twenty five because
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: it coincides with the rise of farb They go on
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: a twenty five consecutive regular home season win streak. I
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: think it's the second largest in NFL history. I think
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: the Dolphins had like twenty seven. And that streak ends
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. With the Randy Moss game boo yeah,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: ninety five to the Randy Moss game September seventeenth of
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: ninety five to October fifth of ninety eight, they did
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: not lose a home game, and then the winter thing
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: still persisted. They were twelve and zero all time in
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: home playoff games. And then do you remember when Vic
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: shattered that. You remember when he came in in that
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: two thousand and three playoff game. He was like twenty
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: two years old and just throttled them in a way
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: where everybody went, what that's not right, You're up like
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: twenty four zero. So I don't know if home field
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: advantage has changed for the entire league, if people are
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: more prepared for weather and the elements, if just the
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: technology and advancements of being an NFL team have changed that.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: But we I do remember a time where it's like,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: go to Green Bay lose.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: It's very nice that that is not that way anymore.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because it used to be, well, you know, it
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: would get so cold so early. And that's what I
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: love about that stadium is it's a lot of bleachers
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: and so you are smushed together. It's you are surviving
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: because of a stranger's body heat. It's it's perfect.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I really like that stadium, but I really like to
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: watch them lose in that stadium New York Giants.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I'd like to watch them lose. I think if they
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: do lose, I normally we do game previews, but I
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: want to Can we do a player spotlight as a
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: dude I've been talking about all year and I can't
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: stop talking about him. And I don't think even though
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: other people are talking about him, the credit is anywhere
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: near where it should be. And I think it really
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: clicked last game Bears game, Tom Brady said, and I
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: think everybody picked up on it. Maybe it's common knowledge,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: but he goes. Brian Flores told them that Jalen Redman
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: has been our best defensive lineman. It's on the line
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: with you know, Jonathan Gernard's some other good players. But
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I totally agree, and I think this guy is not
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: only doing that right now, but like, if you're looking
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: for hope, if you're looking for enthusiasm to me on
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: the defensive side, I got one for each side. But
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: it's he's a place to put a ton of it,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: because not only is he like this unique story, but
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: I didn't understand this. So he grew up in a
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: place called Midwest City, Oklahoma, which is the funniest name.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: It's like being from town. Yeah, I'm from town, Illinois.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Hey, we need a name for our city.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Well, where is it pretty south near Texas? Well, let's
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: call it Midwest City. Brother, Midwest City, Oklahomer. So, he
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: didn't play varsity football his first two years of high school.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: He was just a basketball player. And I know there's
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: like basketball players in college who went on to play
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: football in the pros, and I guess maybe some of
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: them never played high school football. But the first time
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: this dude ever touched a football he was a junior
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: in high school. First year high school, eighty two tackles,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: fourteen sacks. They played like nine games in high school.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Du senior year. Listen to this second year ever playing
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: football his senior year starts, he's only been in the
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: sport for a year, eighty seven tackles, thirty four for
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: a loss, nineteen and a half sacks, and he becomes
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: the number sixteenth nationally ranked player. Wow.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Now I have some stats here too. From his high
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: school sophomore year basketball scored one hundred and sixty four points,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: eighteen dunks, one shattered backboard, fourteen tackles, And that's why
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: they asked him to move to football.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Dude, think about going from never touching a football to
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: the sixteenth ranked prospect in a sport that everybody desperately
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: wishes they were a prospect in in two years. Like
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: that's I think they should take the Jalen Redmond story
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: and show it to you know, when a bunch of
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: eighth graders are going to play basketball or football for
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: the first time, they should set everybody down and go,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to talk about Jalen Redman
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: and they should tell all this and then they go.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: So when you get mad at your coach for not
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: playing your son correctly, which by the way, he's just
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: a dad and he's volunteering, when you do that, I
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: want you to ask yourself yes, could my kids start
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: playing football at sixteen and be a nationally ranked recruit
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: by eighteen? And if your answer is no, maybe take
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: a breath, change your tone, and refocus.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Because this high school was in Oklahoma, so many dads
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: had to be screaming about this basketball player turned football
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: player starting to get all these things and then after
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: one game. This is my impersonation of so many dads
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: in Oklahoma. Yeah, all right.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: He so he goes to college. He ends up having
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: a medical issue in college. Carol Levin, I believe did
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: a really great story on this. But he doesn't get drafted,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: right despite his combine. It's like he has the second
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: best forty yard dash time among interior defensive lineman's second
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: best ten yard split, and the best broad jump and
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: vertical jump. Like he's an off the charts athlete and
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: he's still Oh, by the way, only been playing football
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: significantly less than a decade, so he's undrafted, signs with
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: the Panthers, plays in the XFL. Everybody knows this part
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: of the story. But man, it's not that I like,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: I'm not focusing on him because I want to focus
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: on the fact that he's been good. I'm focusing on
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: him because I think guys like that who learns so
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: quickly and becomes So what's he going to look like
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: in two years? I don't think he's at a ceiling
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: are you? Are you all of a sudden going what
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: have we found ourselves here? And with the way I
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: think Donovan Jackson is played on the offensive line, the
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: whole talk in the off season was we've got to
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: fix the trenches. We got to fix the interior trenches.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: And they went and got a couple of big name
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: free agents on both sides, and then I think the
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Donovan Jackson draft pick, even though it was a number
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: one pick, and this Jalen Redman thing which happened the
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: year before, they kind of flew under the radar. And
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: right now, if you're looking at the future of those interiors,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: I feel really good about it because I think both
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: these guys have a chance to be incredible studs. We
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: should move to the game preview. We should do that
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: part of the show, because that is I could have
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: just talked I could have just talked Jalen Redmond the
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: whole time, but we do have to preview the game.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: That's an important part of our job. Okay, one thing
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to this weekend. Justin Jefferson. He
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: passed last Sunday Tory Holt to climb to number two
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: on the list of most receiving yards in a player's
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: first six seasons. He only needs one hundred and ninety
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: seven to pass Randy Moss and come number one. Everybody
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: else is either on this list in the top five.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're talking it's Randy Moss, Tory Holt, Jerry Rice,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: That's crazy.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're already, We're already to the prediction segment because
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I think he's getting it Sunday. So the uh, I
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: think the interesting thing about it, The thing I like
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: about it is now that they play seventeen games, it
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: can be kind of baked and you're like, well, he's
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: that gay all the extra games, but with one hundred
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: and ninety seven to go, it's feasibly could break it
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: in the next couple and that shortens that, Like it's
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: not like he needed the extra games. He's just breaking
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: the record purely based upon breaking the record. So it's
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: kind of wild that we have, you know, in our lifetimes,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: we have got to have Randy Moss and Justin Jefferson
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: and Chris Carter.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: That's unbelievable.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: It's pretty it's pretty strange. It's pretty great.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: J Let me let me tell you this. So Chris
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Carter was at the game and they were talking to
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: him about Vikings Bears matchups, and he's down on the field.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: They go, so what do you think about the Chicago
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Bears and he goes, I gotta tell you I love
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: the Bears. Without the Bears, I wouldn't be in the
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. And the place goes crazy. It was
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: such a good line, and it's exactly what everyone needed
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: because we were tense.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Let me give you two things to feel good about,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: and then let's do our prediction. Okay, okay, Aaron Jones
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: is returning to Lambeau. This is take two for that
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: journey last year. Pretty good. Week four twenty two. Carries
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: ninety three yards, four receptions forty six yards. He's done
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: very well against the Packers on the whole, with one
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: hundred and forty total rushing yards seventy six receiving yards.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: But in addition, our wide receivers have done exception really well.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Jefferson and Addison combined four in week four one hundred
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: and fifty seven yards and two touchdowns, and then Jefferson,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Addison and Naylor in Week sixteen combined for two hundred
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: and forty two yards and two touchdowns. So this is
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: a This is a group of weapons that has had
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: success against the Packers. And if for no other reason
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: that I have a bunch of unfinished trash talk chats
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: in my phone right now, hm, I would love to
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: see that continue. What do you got for prediction score is? Uh?
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Listen, I'm gonna tell you something. I got up at
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: three point thirty in the morning to fly home from Washington,
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: DC to watch the same mistakes being made over and
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: over and never taking a chance to fix them. I'm
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: going Viking six Packers three. I'm in a negative headspace
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: You're in a negative headspace. I actually I am in a
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: little bit of a negative headspace too. I'm gonna go
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: I also think the Packers are going to score three
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Vikings one hundred and twenty seven. And I think this
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: is a breakout week for my boy Jalen Redmond. I
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: highlighted him on the show. And then if he does breakout,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: I mean he's already broken up. But I'm like, oh,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: he has like a monster game, and if that happens,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: I will convince myself that I played a role in it,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: and then we might have to do a player segment
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: highlight thing on every show. Because I deal with obsessive
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: compulsive disorder and I believe in a lot of silly stuff.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: I'm very superstitious those aren't the same thing. I just
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: happened to have both of them coexisting in my brain.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: For my player prediction, I'm gonna go Aaron Jones gets
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: a Lambeau Leap Purple Edition Purple E discion.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Are you when was the last time you were at
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: a game in Lambeau? Was it that one you got
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: boot at? Or have you been to one since I.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Went to one? Since? So my uncle, who my great uncle,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: he ended up he had the high school rushing record
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: in Green Bay for I think into the nineties. And
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: this is my great uncle, and so when he was little,
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: he used to sneak in to practice under a fence
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: all him and his friends could watch. And it was
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: just just this really cool, really cool experience to get
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: to bring him to a Packer game, and it was
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: it was the game that Adrian Peterson ran wild on them,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: so it was really really fun to see. But I've
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: got to bring him into the little museum, the Packer
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame, and he started crying and I was like, oh,
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: this dude was tough. So it was it was a
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: really interesting fun moment. So the juxtaposition of having that
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: chant happen at one game with my buddies and then
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: getting to watch this guy like really have a great
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: time was very fun.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Here's what I think. Should let me give you a
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: pitch because we're both in a little bit of a
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: negative headspace and I'd like to push us into a
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: positive headspace. So clearly that's my NonStop goal. Here's my pitch. Okay,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: I think if and when they allow us to keep
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: doing this show next year, which I can't imagine why
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: anyone would, given who you and I are as like
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: people like the closer they let us, the more insane
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: we become. But I think I think Chatty Daddy Insie
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: recording from Lambeau next year. Yeah, sure, we'll do it
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: on the fan absolutely will help with the pregame show.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: How about you have the We're the you know how
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: you wake up and you're like, what time's Colin Coward on.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: But there's that other show that's on in the morning
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: that keeps switching, like the Breakfast Ball or whatever. Give us,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: make us breakfast Ball to the pregame show. Put Cy
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: and Chatty Daddy out in Lambeau and let's just see
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: what comes back.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah not Chad and Si we don't come back, and
• 27:59
