TSH Ep. 4 - Skydiving, Netflix Quarterback, & Purple Green Dinosaur Beer · The Skol Hop

0:30
All right, Hey Vikings fans, welcome in. My name's Evan got Austin
0:34
here. Hello, Hello, and this is the school hop. We're just
0:38
a couple of dudes from Iowa. We like drinking beer and we like talking
0:41
about the Minnesota Vikings. What are we drinking today? And today today's a
0:46
good day. We are drinking probably my favorite beer. I don't we haven't
0:50
drunk this on the podcast yet. I'm not on the air. No,
0:53
So this is from an Iowa brewery, Toppling Goliath, I think where they
0:59
out of Cora. Yeah, and we're drinking their pseudo soup. It is
1:03
my favorite beer of all time. It's up there for me. It's a
1:07
good one. It's a great ipa and it's and it's hidden. It is
1:11
not failing me right now. It's doing its job. It's a good one.
1:15
Purple Dinosaur on the can. Yeah, it's just they must have been
1:19
thinking about Barney when they design this can. And I'm not knocking it.
1:22
It's a good can. The only problem with it is there's some green in
1:25
there, and I think they could get rid of the green, you know,
1:27
maybe replaced with some yellow. I'll say it. Purple and green are
1:33
not horrible color combinations. I mean, just I'm looking. I'm looking at
1:38
your panoramic picture of us Bank right now. I purple in the end zones
1:42
and then man, green grass is beautiful, but it has to go with
1:48
purple. You get any yellow in there at all that's not completely surrounded by
1:52
purple, Like we can't do green and yellow. That's well, if you
1:55
look at if you look at the end zones at us Bank Stadium, there's
1:59
no yellow. It's yeah, they knew what they were doing. Purple and
2:01
then the Vikings in white and then you have the yellow mostly yellow logo.
2:07
That's true. And that's the center the Nordic that's like blonde. That's not
2:10
yellow. True. That picture, that panorama that I have of the stadium,
2:16
that is the first game. That is the opening kickoff regular season game
2:22
against the Packers in twenty sixteen when the stadium opened. I was in the
2:29
hospital watching that game because we had just had our oldest child, Nice.
2:34
I was holding her in my arms and we watched our first Vikings game together.
2:38
SI great memory. That was a good game too, I believe against
2:39
the Packers. Yeah, yeah, it was the Packers, so we won.
2:43
Because this is a podcast and not a video podcast for the listeners.
2:47
It's just a just it's a beautiful panoramic photo encompassing the entire stadium. Foll
2:54
probably ride at kickoff, it is right, I kick a good one.
2:59
Yep, the packers were kicking off to the Vikings. We'll take a picture.
3:01
We'll post it up on Instagram. It's a good one. Yeah.
3:06
I bought it online. I probably spent way too much on it, but
3:08
I was like, I have to have that in my Viking's man cave.
3:12
It's a good one. You'll have it forever. It's a good one,
3:14
all right. So we have welcomed, we have discussed our delicious beer and
3:19
talked way longer about a panoramic picture than I ever thought we would. But
3:23
we need to talk about something that you just did yesterday. Yeah, first,
3:29
before we get into anything else. Yeah, what did you do yesterday?
3:31
Yesterday? Unless you're like a future like life insurance salesman of mine,
3:39
disregard all of this. But I, for the first time, probably not
3:44
the last time, for the first time, I went skydiving and it was
3:49
amazing, And there was a pretty good joke that came out of your skydiveing.
3:53
Yeah, so can you tell that? I can? So. I
3:58
heard this from one of the skydiving instructors, you know, before we jumped,
4:01
because there was a lull and we were waiting for another instructor to get
4:04
done jumping. This instructor said, how do you know the difference between a
4:12
golfer and a skydiver? He said, I don't know. I can't I
4:15
couldn't tell you. He said, okay, so when a golfer makes a
4:19
mistake, you hear whack, dang it, and when a skydiver makes a
4:26
mistake you hear dang it whack. That's a good joke, pretty morbid if
4:33
you really think about it. Well, we don't have to think too deeply
4:36
about it, but it's pretty funny. Fortunately, the guy that I was
4:41
trapped to when we jumped out of this plane was very knowledgeable, knew everything
4:46
about everything, and we did not hear dang it the whole time or a
4:49
whack. Yep. We even landed gracefully. It was amazing. That's a
4:54
good thing. Yep, do it if you ever want to do it,
4:57
just go for it. And I watched the video. It was pretty cool.
5:00
Oh, it seems like seems like it was pretty well done, Like
5:04
those guys knew what they were doing, and oh yeah yeah, my instructor
5:08
said he was gonna jump ten to twelve times yesterday. Couldn't imagine yep,
5:13
I couldn't imagine that. That's crazy. Yeah. Well, one of these
5:17
days we'll do it together. Yeah, a skull jump school jump, not
5:21
a hop. We'll wear our Viking shirts and we will scream skull at the
5:27
top of our lungs while jumping from a perfectly good airplane. I did as
5:31
we were walking to the plane, because skull has ingrained itself so much into
5:38
me. Most people say like, yeah, let's go. I say schull
5:41
school school. As we were walking to the plane. I was so pumped
5:46
up as I just said school, and either nobody heard it or registered it
5:51
enough to look at me weird. But I immediately was like, ooh,
5:56
I'm not amongst Vikings fans. You were in Illinois, you were kind of
5:59
in like Bear territorial. Yeah, so yeah, it worked out, So
6:04
yeah, go skydiving do it. Yeah. Perfect. Well, we got
6:09
to talk about just the off season and training camp. I think that's kind
6:15
of where we need to start. And then I think eventually we can get
6:18
into the first preseason game that just happened a couple of days ago as of
6:25
the recording of this episode. But let's start with off season moves and training
6:30
camp. Training camp is pretty much done and we've moved into preseason and I
6:34
mean, the season is going to be here before we know it. What's
6:39
the situation with the offensive line? Do you think the Vikings are going to
6:43
make any moves that way? I know, Dalton Risner's kind of bubbled to
6:46
the top as a top candidate for a spot there. Yeah, what do
6:53
you think? Yeah, I mean, he's definitely an interesting name, and
6:58
if he were to be signed to this team, my first instinct is that
7:03
he would replace at Ingram, But that would mean that is it Risener?
7:11
Uh, don't go far. I'm gonna go with Risener. The yeah that
7:14
he n e R. I believe he has played on the left side as
7:18
left guard for his career, so that actually is a pretty big transition for
7:24
offensive lineman. I've heard it being equated to, you know, trying to
7:29
write with your non dominant hand just out of nowhere because you're so used to
7:32
playing that position from you know, the specific side you play on. So
7:36
if he were to replace at Ingram, he'd be switching to the right side.
7:43
And I don't know, I think he would be an immediate upgrade over
7:46
Ingram or Ezra Cleveland, though I don't. I don't think Ezra Cleveland is
7:51
that bad. I think he can hold his own and honestly, at Ingram,
7:56
I mean, he's just a rookie last year, Like, he's got
7:59
a lot of room that he can grow into, and I think he could
8:03
be really good unless he is not showing up in practice. Yeah, I
8:07
think he definitely has to not step on Kirk's foot after the snap, Like
8:15
if we can avoid that's that's a start. I think. Another interesting thing
8:20
and we'll get to the preseason game here in a little bit, but he
8:24
was the only starter from last year that I can tell that started the preseason
8:31
game. Okay, So, I mean it kind of seems like he still
8:35
has some stuff to prove. Perhaps or the coaches just want him to have
8:39
those extra reps to really kind of get comfortable and settle into his role.
8:43
That would make some sense. And who knows, maybe the lack of a
8:48
signing, a Risener signing just kind of makes you know gives us proof that
8:56
the coaching staff are comfortable with the guards that they have. I could be
9:01
just totally I am making that up, but you never know. Or it
9:05
could be that they need to make sure the dollars and cents work out.
9:11
They could have just been trying to get to know him a little bit in
9:13
case an injury happened. Well, I mean, I'm looking at this article
9:18
from the Daily Norseman and he was Risener was where is he? Where did
9:26
it say that he's a second round pick? He was okay by the Broncos.
9:33
Yeah, he's I mean, he's been a long time starter forty first
9:35
overall out of k state, kinds of state. And it seems like,
9:39
just from skimming this article by the Daily Norseman, that money would be the
9:46
kicker here. Yeah, it would kind of. It might be the the
9:50
hold up. It could be. But also, I mean, thirty one
9:54
other teams have had an opportunity to sign him. He's been a free agent
9:58
this whole time, I mean all offseason, So I don't I don't know.
10:01
Maybe maybe he's just waiting. Maybe he's waiting for you never know,
10:05
if a big, you know, contending team like the Vikings have some injury
10:11
here, either in the rest of camp or early in the season. I
10:16
don't know. I would be initially excited if they signed him, just because
10:20
he's a he's a solid player, and you always got to like adding solid
10:24
players to the team. When I think at the very least, they would
10:28
add depth to the offensive line that I think is fairly one dimensional at this
10:31
point. I think we'll get everybody back from last year. Yeah, especially
10:35
with Brian O'Neil looking to be a little bit healthier than you were just saying
10:39
a little bit ago. Brian O'Neill was like full go as of like yesterday.
10:45
Yeah. Yeah, I think they tweet first time in a while.
10:46
They tweeted today or exed today, tweeted, And we're gonna just say I'm
10:54
on board with that that he had, you know, fully participated in practice
10:58
today for the first time since his injury, Yeah, which is huge that
11:01
and Achilles is not a small injury. Yeah, So hopefully he can come
11:07
back and be back to what he was and you know, continue on his
11:09
growth because he's good. Yeah, agreed, Yeah, he's definitely good.
11:15
And I don't know, we keep kind of dipping into this preseason game so
11:20
we'll have to get to that eventually. But I think my assessment of the
11:26
second team offensive line was that they were pretty bad. They did not look
11:31
good. Nick Mullins was under duress a lot, just had to eat it
11:39
or throw it away a lot. Jaron Hall ended up playing towards the end
11:45
of the game, and he threw it away quite quite a bit more than
11:48
Nick Mullins. So that's where like I think possibly a Dalton Risener or somebody
11:56
coming on could really add some depth and help solidify that offensive line. I
12:03
think our offensive line could be top ten with our starters, but beyond those
12:09
guys, it's a little questionable. Oh yeah, yeah, Assuming O'Neil starts
12:16
off healthy, you've got one of the top tackle tandem's say that five times
12:24
fast at the time in the league. I mean you could. I don't
12:26
know if they're the best of the best, but Darris Saw and O'Neil healthy
12:31
versions of those guys, Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that. You go
12:35
with that all day. Garrett Bradberry, he can hold his own. He's
12:39
had his struggles, but slightly undersized maybe HM, But they've signed him back
12:43
so and I'm not mad about that. I think I think he works really
12:48
well with Kirk, and I think that's important to have that chemistry between your
12:54
center and your quarterback. And Kirk has the eyes to look out and see
13:00
what the defense has given him, and Kirk can kind of relay that.
13:05
And I think Kirk trusts Garrett a lot to make those adjustments and signal to
13:11
the rest of the old line like this is the protection we need for this
13:15
particular play. Yeah, so I think that's a big reason why he ended
13:20
up getting resigned, was just his relationship with Kirk and his IQ. Yeah,
13:26
I would say definitely the game. I think he's still a young player.
13:30
I mean, I think this will be his sixth year, so coming
13:35
and coming into his own, entering that veteran status, but still young enough
13:39
that he's got a lot of good years ahead of him in the league.
13:41
So yeah, I'm I'm happy they signed him back. He's had some like
13:46
back injuries and yeah, which can be that can be rough, especially for
13:50
an alignment like that, like want to make sure that they're sturdy in those
13:56
situations. But yeah, you mentioned the preseason game. I we we live
14:03
in an area that that game was not televised live, which we're just outside
14:07
of viewing area, dumb Rodger Goodell, if you're listening, you need to
14:11
figure that out. Yeah. We we do have Sunday ticket for the season,
14:16
so we will we will not have an issue watching any game this regular
14:20
season, but we plan to cover every game. Yeah, that's that's the
14:24
goal, playing episodes, kind of a recap of each game and then looking
14:30
ahead to the next week. Yeah. Yeah, so that's kind of the
14:35
goal. Yeah. So anyways, just talking other free agent visits the last
14:39
few days, Kareem Hunt, you know, made a visit. I forgot
14:43
about that. I don't. I don't know, I don't. I feel
14:48
decent about the running back position for the Vikings, even with losing Dalvin Cook.
14:54
But he's a great RB one. Yeah. I think he's he's gonna
15:00
surprised some people this year. I think he's I mean, he's done enough
15:05
previously that I don't think the coaches even really questioned that. They're just like,
15:09
yep, he's our guy, and I think there's a legitimate competition for
15:15
RB two. I watched some of the preseason game and ty Chandler looked good,
15:22
I think, despite some shaky blocking in front of him in those passing
15:30
situations. Nick Mullens struggled with kind of a weaker protection scheme in front of
15:37
him, but Ty Chandler looked good. I think he was maybe one of
15:41
the brighter spots of the offense. So there's gonna be there's gonna be competition
15:46
for that RB two position between him and ken Na wangu for sure. And
15:52
that's not even mentioning. Uh what's what's the McBride? Oh, that's the
16:00
key. That's not what I was going to say. The guy they signed
16:02
from the XFL, Oh yeah, I don't remember his Abram something. Oh
16:06
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah we should know his name. Wasn't he
16:07
the top rusher in the XFL. Yeah, he led last season, I
16:11
mean with something like seven hundred something yards rushing, but still uh yeah Abram
16:19
Smith Smith Yeah yeah, there you go. Good googling skills there, how
16:23
to google it? Yeah? So that, I mean, who knows,
16:27
maybe he pushes some people for a roster spot, Yeah he could. So
16:33
yeah, that Kareem Hunt visit. Maybe that could just be getting to know
16:37
him a little bit in case there's injuries or in case something changes and they
16:41
realize they need to make adjustments to that running back room. You never know,
16:48
and I don't know, some of that could just be kind of a
16:51
flash in the pan, like yeah, he's kind of a big name,
16:55
let's see, you know. But I with career him Hunt in particular,
17:00
I'm concerned about the off the field stuff like he had. Yeah, it's
17:03
he's been quiet off the field late little while lately. I mean, yeah,
17:08
he definitely has that history, and I mean just you get a little
17:12
leery about that. Yeah, what about uh what about TJ? A mid
17:18
season acquisition last year, a very good acquisition, probably arguably one of the
17:23
best mid season trades that the Vikings have ever done. Yeah. Yeah,
17:30
I was really excited at the time and was not disappointed as he kept playing
17:33
and performing. And remember that acquisition was made after IRV Smith was lost for
17:42
most of the season, and it ultimately made IRV Smith, you know,
17:48
difficult to resign because why would you do that when you have you know,
17:52
t J Hockinson. But he's been all camp dealing with an illness and I
18:00
think that's a little bit of media speak. Obviously, I don't know for
18:04
sure, but I think this illness might clear up really quick once he gets
18:11
a new deal, which he absolutely is, you know, deserving of a
18:17
high dollar contract. There's no doubt about that. And I actually saw a
18:22
tweet from Darren Wolson it was either today or yesterday that the Vikings might be
18:30
a little held up even on like a Dalton Risener signing or potential other signings
18:37
to see how this new Hokinson deal will impact their cap space for this year
18:44
and obviously hopefully more many future years. And Wolson even kind of agreed with
18:52
the idea that maybe this illness might go away really quick once that once that
18:57
that contract has done. He speaks, yeah, absolutely, and these players
19:03
I will never be upset about a player trying to get as many dollars as
19:06
humanly possible because they're not playing forever, especially if they're elite like a Hocket
19:11
Centnis. Well, you look at I mean, Dalvin Cook. He's sitting
19:15
around waiting for some team to give him what he thinks he deserves. And
19:21
I mean, he is definitely worth the highest paid running back money he should
19:30
be. But I mean, I've stated my opinions on how much you should
19:33
pay for running back. Well, I think you've stated it several times now,
19:37
and I think the rest of the league they're sertainly a wake up the
19:41
fans are starting to figure out, Okay, yeah, you don't pay running
19:45
backs a lot because it's a committee position. The days of the Adrian Peterson
19:52
and even the Derrick Henry's, the two thousand yard rushers, they're they're kind
19:57
of going away and it's hard to just because of injury and you know how
20:03
much of a beating they take. It's hard to justify paying them for a
20:08
long time a lot of money. But that saying that again, those running
20:14
backs should be fighting for every dime they can get, and good for them
20:18
if they get paid. I just it could hinder the rest of the team
20:22
to have a guy get paid a lot when he could get injured now for
20:25
the season very very easily. Well, those guys just take a beating.
20:30
I mean even more so than quarterbacks, Oh yeah, some extent, because
20:34
they touch the ball almost as much as a quarterback does. And they're not
20:41
just touching the ball and dumping it off. They're getting the ball and running
20:45
headlong into guys that want to rip their heads off. If a running back
20:49
is on the field for a play, he is going to get hit.
20:53
Yep, whether it's a pass play, run, play sack like he is
20:57
going to get hit because he's either then engage somebody in a block or he's
21:02
gonna run a route, get rubbed, tackled. He's gonna have the ball
21:07
and run it and get tackled at the end. And when they have the
21:10
ball, they're you know, they're not running nicely. Like these running backs
21:14
are aggressive, they're violent. Like it's a fun position, but it's fun
21:18
to watch. Yeah, sure, but yeah, they just don't have long,
21:23
long careers. Yeah, they definitely have longevity issues. What about Uh
21:29
what about Kirk? Yeah, so it happens with him. We talk about
21:33
TJ's deal and hopefully he'll get one and Kirk he's got some There's a whole
21:38
different story in that. We could do a whole podcast on the pros and
21:42
cons of prolonging Kirk's Vikings career. I'm a fan of Kirk Cousins, the
21:48
quarterback and the guy. That was even solidified more by the Netflix Quarterback series,
21:55
which was really good. We can talk about that too. We can
21:57
have a little tangent here in a minute about that. Yeah, but yeah,
22:02
I think there's some some quirks in Kirk's contract, the way it ends
22:07
this year. He is not They're not able to use the franchise tag even
22:12
if they wanted to this year. His contract will expire before they're able to
22:17
use it, and so that's one thing you think, Okay, yeah,
22:25
so no franchise tag, they're gonna want to sign him long term. But
22:29
then again, I mean, Kirk, I think he's thirty four right now,
22:32
thirty five five, starting to get up there, and not everybody's Tom
22:34
Brady to play, you know, into their mid forties, so age is
22:41
a factor. So he's probably looking at something like a two to three year
22:47
okay, two to three year deal, and that's not going to be a
22:52
cheap deal. Like one of those years is going to be You're gonna pay
22:56
him as much in one of those two to three years as you would pay
23:00
an entire first overall pick rookie quarterback in their rookie deal. You know,
23:04
like it's it's not cheap, but I mean, Kirk's worth it. You
23:08
just don't know when he's gonna drop off, right, So yeah, I'm
23:14
interested to see how that works. I like Kirk. I hope he's a
23:17
Viking until the end of his career, but I also like the Vikings,
23:19
and I hope that their quarterback situation is set up as much as it can
23:25
be. I feel like Vikings fans are slightly more tolerant of mediocre to slightly
23:36
better, slightly okay quarterback play than other franchises. Maybe, Like we've definitely
23:42
put up with our fair share of like really bad quarterback play. Yeah,
23:49
and Kirk Cousins is not a really bad quarter No, He's the best we've
23:52
had Kirk Cousins arguably. And we've talked about this, maybe not officially on
23:59
a recorded podcast, but you and I have talked about this many times before.
24:03
I mean, he's he's top three in almost every statistical category, and
24:07
he's the best in some statistical categories behind only Fran Tarkenton and Tommy Kramer.
24:12
Yeah, I mean as far as Vikings category. So yeah, in terms
24:17
of the franchise, yeah, like he is. Arguably he will this season,
24:23
he will surpass Tommy Kramer in several statistical categories and cement himself second in
24:33
almost every statistical category behind Fran Tarkenton. And if he finishes his career,
24:38
he could he could. I mean if he plays as long as Aaron Rodgers
24:45
or Tom Brady does he could surpass fran Tarkenton and become the greatest, But
24:51
that would take it would take a ton of work between the front office,
24:56
his agent, Kirk himself, because I think Kirk is very involved in those
25:00
things. He doesn't just offload those I think he's a pretty savvy guy and
25:06
pretty keenly aware of what's going on. But yeah, I'm with you.
25:12
I wish and hope that he can stick with the Vikings as long as he's
25:18
playing good football. Yeah, absolutely, But yeah, yeah, and I
25:23
don't think there's much argument he his addition to the Vikings before the twenty eighteen
25:33
season. The entire franchise is in a better place overall since he joined the
25:40
team than they were. And that four, if you remember, that came
25:44
out a pretty precarious time because we had just yeah, the Minneapolis miracle case
25:49
Keenan to Stefan Diggs, that whole thing had just happened. And yeah,
25:55
me saying that it's a little preposterous because that's coming off of the most recent
25:59
NFC Championship appearance for the Vikings. Yeah, and I haven't gotten that far
26:03
with Cousins. I mean, we got destroyed by the Eagle. Oh,
26:06
my gosh. Yeah, but we don't. We don't need to go over
26:08
that too much. But no, but I think Kirk has elevated the quarterback
26:12
room. Yes he has. I'm sure he had some conversations. Was some
26:21
level a part of who they chose as their next coach after Mike Zimmer.
26:26
I don't think it's any secret that Kirk and Zimmer's relationship wasn't the best.
26:30
It wasn't. So I think that the franchise today is better because of Kirk
26:37
Cousins than it was before Kirk Cousins. And there's there can't be much fully
26:42
agree with that. I fully agree with that. We got to talk about
26:48
Netflix for a minute. Yeah, so you watch the whole season series.
26:51
Yeah, I've now watched all I think it was eight episodes. And you
26:55
said you've got the last one. Yeah, for whatever reason, I just
26:57
haven't finished the last episode. It's a good one. Yeah. Interestingly,
27:03
Marcus Mariotta is like, not not surprisingly, but just he's just absent.
27:08
I mean they I think they mentioned him once or twice. Well, I
27:12
mean he literally was away from his team the last portion of their season,
27:17
and I kind of get that too, Like they benched him and he was
27:19
like, well, my wife's having a kid, so yeah, yeah,
27:25
it seems weird. I can see it. It was awkward. And the
27:27
TV series kind of gave his his side of that story a little bit,
27:32
which kind of softened my my thoughts on it. But still like, if
27:36
you're on a team, you need to be there. Yeah. Yeah,
27:41
And and that's where, like per our discussion about Kirk a few seconds ago,
27:47
like I think Kirk would be the guy to stick around and now.
27:51
And that's not to say like if you, you know, have a child
27:56
there, you need to have that family to get home and be with your
27:59
wife, and but I think they physically moved like they were not well.
28:03
He elected to have a surgery that he had been putting off yep, And
28:07
to me it kind of just seemed like it was this giant middle finger to
28:11
the falcons of just like, well, you're gonna bench me. I'm gonna
28:15
get the surgery that I've been meaning to have for a while, and I'm
28:18
gonna be out for the rest of the season and quote unquote away from the
28:23
team. Yeah. And the that series Netflix, they painted him in a
28:30
good picture. He came across as a decent guy. Obviously family man.
28:37
So if it was something like they had spent you know, every episode before
28:41
that making him look awful and then all of a sudden he dipped out from
28:45
his team, they I'm sure editing, they can do whatever they want with
28:48
editing. They could have made him look like a jerk. Oh yeah,
28:51
for sure. So I really think Marcus Marriotta the man is probably a decent
28:55
guy. Yeah. I still hold him in pretty high regards, and that
28:59
that surgery was definitely a business decision. He was making the best choice for
29:03
Marcus Mariota. Yes, not necessarily the team, which you know what,
29:07
I think everybody would would do that. A team that's kind of on its
29:11
way down. You're not gonna make the playoffs, you know what, the
29:15
heck might as well. And I mean he's an Eagle now, he's he
29:18
was able to get a deal with the Eagles obviously, yep. But good
29:25
for him. Yeah, I did. I liked So. I've watched a
29:29
few of Kirk's interviews after the Quarterback series has come out now, and what
29:37
was interesting to me was, and he's very vocal about this, He'll say
29:41
that NFL Films was the crew that kind of filmed everything, and then I
29:51
think they were the ones that kind of compiled the footage and edited everything and
29:55
put it all together and then sold it to Netflix to get it out to
30:00
the masses. But Kirk has said several times now that he had the final
30:06
say in everything which is they put out, and he said that, you
30:11
know, he had the power to pretty much say yes or no to anything
30:17
that they wanted to include. So I thought that was kind of interesting too.
30:22
And I think Kirk was portrayed very well, But I don't think we
30:30
got a inaccurate picture of who Kirk Cousins is. I think I think we
30:37
got a very clear accurate representation of who he actually is. I would agreeing,
30:45
and also as a quarterback, because I mean we saw we saw some
30:48
frustrating moments there. I mean like the Cowboys game and the Giants game,
30:53
the playoffs, like those were hard, tough games where things just didn't go
30:59
our way at all and just just kept not going our way. That Cowboys
31:04
game alone, that's the most painful part of the regular season. Like,
31:10
yeah, that was a tough one to watch. Yeah, and you know
31:14
us, we watch it all. Yep, we were there for the whole
31:18
thing. Yeah, I agree, though, So the idea is that you
31:21
never truly know somebody, Like you could even say that about your best friend
31:25
that you've known since you know, elementary school. You never really know somebody.
31:30
So sure, there's a chance that Kirk his portrayal in the Netflix series
31:36
that wasn't all in act, you know, and maybe you never he could
31:40
actually be a horrible person. But I agree with you. I think it
31:44
was accurate. I don't think it was an act. There was a lot
31:48
of access and he was okay with even which I thought was really cool.
31:52
His you know, a couple of his sessions that they would show with the
31:57
sports psychologist. Yeah, I thought that was cool. Yeah. I think
32:02
I kind of you know, gave the the good, feel good part of
32:06
like mental health and take care of yourself. But that he was comfortable sharing
32:10
even just the few minutes of content of that that they showed, Like,
32:15
that's really cool and makes me think even more highly of him. My favorite
32:21
part of the whole series though, was there after the Vikings lost their playoff
32:27
game to the Giants, and they just kind of followed him, you know,
32:30
in the locker room into the parking lot where somebody like driving but even
32:36
in the parking lot. If you remember, somebody somebody flagged him down.
32:38
I don't know who it was, but he yeah, you want to you
32:40
want a signature immediately? Yeah, here you go. He could have just,
32:45
you know, af that guy and kept driving, but that seemed like
32:47
a Kirk Cousins thing to do, to say, you know, somebody wants
32:52
my autograph, I'm gonna give it to him. Kirk would have said,
32:53
frick that guy. I don't know, there's a couple of times he got
33:00
bleeped, you know, in previous years. But yeah, and then even
33:04
to follow him, you know, hear the conversation with his wife, which
33:07
is kind of funny as I was watching that, like I've had the after
33:12
a bad day at work conversation with my wife. But like that's all it
33:16
was. It was just after a bad day. It's just where I'm talking
33:21
about, you know, the things that I do in my boring job.
33:23
He's talking about, Yeah, I missed this elite wide receiver on this crazy
33:29
play as an NFL quarterback, Like you know, bad do it work?
33:32
Like that's crazy? Like my wife, I will say my wife liked watching
33:37
it. She watched all of it with me and she wants to be like
33:43
Julie Cousins like she. I thought it was hilarious and I think my wife
33:49
actually would like do something like this. But there was I think in one
33:52
of the first couple episodes, it was like a chaotic game, and Julie
34:00
Cousins was like recounting the game to the cameras in kind of that like interview
34:04
style set up, and she's like, yeah, the game just got so
34:08
intense. I put in my AirPods and I put on some worship music and
34:13
my wife and I were just like, yeah, losing it. We were
34:16
laughing. So that was funny. But I don't know, I think that's
34:21
just like genuine Kirk and Julie. Yes, I really felt they are true,
34:24
Like that would have had to have been a crazy act for it not
34:28
to be that genuine one. Like the opening scene of the first episode was
34:34
the end. I mean that was Kirk coming home to put his kids to
34:37
bed after he just lost in the wild card round of the playoffs. Yeah,
34:39
I was gonna mention because you know, that was my favorite part where
34:44
it showed him coming home. And I mean, I don't I'm not a
34:49
crier. I don't watched sad movies and cry. But like when he got
34:52
home and he was talking to I think his oldest son, who had let
34:57
his younger brother go to that game, I think, and he was just
35:00
like, you know, you were you were awesome for letting your brother go.
35:02
Like you No, we didn't win, but like you're you're so awesome,
35:07
Bud, like your great brother. And Kirk's year just got tore down
35:10
and he was just being a regular dad. It's like, man, he's
35:14
he's being good to his kid. Like you get a little emotional, especially
35:17
his dad's ourselves, Oh my gosh. Yea, And it kind of pulls
35:20
on your heartstrings a little bit for sure. It's yeah, so you need
35:24
to watch that last episode. Yeah, pretty good, I'll watch it.
35:27
It's like the awards and stuff as far as Kirk, right, yeah,
35:30
and Patrick mahomes super Bowl yeah yeah, yeah, who cares about that?
35:35
And then more wholesome Kirk cousins going to awards shows and trying to continue the
35:42
chain's thing. Yea, all that he sang too, didn't he? Yeah,
35:46
he's sang Kelly Clarkson in front of Kelly Clarkson, because Kelly Clarkson hosted
35:52
the NFL Honors this last year, and so he came out and did a
35:57
little remake of since You've Been Gone. Yeah, I remember in the news
36:00
seeing that when that happened, But it was I think it was an homage
36:04
to Tom Brady because Tom Brady finally retired, and yeah, I think the
36:08
parody was since Tom's Been Gone. Oh okay, all right. And Kirk,
36:14
it's like you roll your eyes at him, as if your dad tells
36:19
a bad joke, you roll like k you know, the dad mentality.
36:23
I don't know. I like Kirk. I feel like if you watch that
36:27
Netflix series, you can't come away without liking him more than you did.
36:31
Maybe you hated Kirk. I don't know. If you're a Packer fan,
36:34
you hate Kirk Cousins, you think he sucks whatever. If you watch that,
36:37
you have to at least like him more than you did of course.
36:40
Yeah, Like he's just he's such a wholesome guy, down to earth,
36:45
realistic. Even if you're not like a person of faith, like you can
36:49
appreciate who he is and what he's about. Yeah, I think I hope
36:54
everything he deserves, every good thing that comes to him, absolutely hopefully a
37:00
Lombardi trophy comes that way, I just I feel like it's never gonna happen
37:05
for us. So well, there's a spot in Kirk's personal I hope shrine
37:10
at his house for it. So I hope he gets that. I hope
37:15
for all of Viking's Nation that we can we can bring one of those home.
37:21
Yep, And then forever, if let's just say the unthinkable happens and
37:25
Kirk helps lead this team to the Promised Land this year, forever, anytime
37:32
somebody says something bad about Kirk Cousins the quarterback and be like, I don't
37:36
care. Super Bowl baby, Like I don't care. Like you can have
37:39
whatever opinion you want. Trophy in the case over there, the silver one
37:45
with the football on top, that's a good one. Well, this is
37:51
not officially Kirk Cousins fan line, So we should probably move on to the
37:53
rest of the topics. We could we could quickly recap the preseason game that
37:59
you didn't even really watch, Yeah, but we talked about it. And
38:01
we could also maybe talk quickly about just who we think will make the fifty
38:07
three man roster and who won't. Yeah, sounds good as we kind of
38:09
wrap up here, so that preseason game. I mentioned we live in an
38:14
area where we're just outside of where it was televised, which is bogus,
38:17
So it should change. Roger Goodell, please fix that. Neither of us
38:22
really were able to watch it live. I think you were able to find
38:24
some way to see a little bit of it live, but it wasn't great.
38:29
I've seen like the highlights and some of the Twitter reactions, So I've
38:34
seen that highlight of IV and Pace kind of blowing up the right guard and
38:37
you know, at least initiating the tackle of I think the running back,
38:44
and I think, to go on that tangent for just a second, I
38:46
think he was really hyped going into that game. Even a lot of people
38:53
close to the organization, like Paul Allen, Pete Bursage who called the game,
38:59
We're just like all they could talk about was I haven't paced Junior and
39:01
how amazing he was and you know, undrafted whatever, blah blah blah,
39:07
and he just kind of I mean, he played well, yeah, but
39:12
didn't like stand out didn't And maybe we just the sample size is too small
39:16
and we don't have enough to go off of yet. But I don't know.
39:20
I like to reserve judgment until there's a good amount of games to really
39:24
back up. Yeah, absolutely what we're talking about for sure. But anytime
39:30
you can look not bad as an undrafted free agent or your first preseason game,
39:37
that's a good that's a positive. And I think I heard because Ben
39:40
Leber was on the sideline for that game too. I think I heard Ben
39:43
Leber say something about how he was like one of the one of the best
39:49
defensive players to ever go through the University of Cincinnati. Ye, like he's
39:52
got he's got pedigree, he's he's a good football player. And Cincinnati's coming
39:59
off a recent college playoff appearance. Like, no, they didn't win the
40:02
national championship, but for a school like Cincinnati to make it to the final
40:08
fours, that's a big deal. Yeah. So yeah, So anyways,
40:15
that game ty Chandler, I think he had eleven carries, not quite one
40:19
hundred yards, but he looked good. He looked great in the first half
40:22
especially. I think the first half was the Vikings half. We I think
40:29
at one point it was ten nothing or thirteen nothing, yeah, something like
40:32
that, and then it was just all the Seahawks after that. But I
40:37
mean, it's tough to tell, because you don't know who's a starter and
40:42
who's not for them. We kind of know, you know, the Vikings
40:45
roster and who's other than ed Ingram. There really weren't any bona fide starters
40:52
out there that we know of right now, and I suppose that could change
40:54
with the rest of the preseason, and you know, but I think we've
41:00
got a pretty good idea of who's gonna be on that fifty three man Yeah,
41:04
for the most part, there's not a ton of question marks. I
41:08
think Jordan Addison had a couple of decent plays that officially non catch sideline toe
41:15
tapper that was beautiful and it probably would be a catch. I told you
41:20
earlier. I thought initially when I watched it, because I watched it live,
41:24
I thought it wasn't a catch. And then I watched the replays and
41:28
I went back and looked at it a few more times after that, I'm
41:30
like, you know what, that kind of looks like a catch, and
41:34
that's a really good catch for a rookie receiver to make. Yep, And
41:38
that sometimes I think that adjustment out of college one toe to two toes,
41:44
oh yeah, a game changer. And it didn't seem like it was that
41:46
much of an adjustment for him. Yeah, he seemed like he belonged.
41:51
And sure, like you said, we don't know. He could have been
41:53
going off going against guys that will never touch the the Seahawks' regular he's in
42:00
roster. But I mean when if you're going against second stringers, you're supposed
42:07
to look good. And I think he looked good. And the couple of
42:08
plays that he got the opportunity to And that's that's an interesting, like little
42:14
thread through training camp and now through these preseason games, is what's the wide
42:19
receiver battle going to be? Like? Yeah, because we know who wide
42:22
receiver one is? Question about that, he's wide receiver one of the league.
42:27
Yeah, and maybe like envy possible MVP of Yeah, if he has
42:31
a great season. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I'm I'm all for that.
42:37
I think we all are. I mean, he's proven himself the last
42:39
couple of years. He's outstanding JJ of course. Yeah, Oh you mean,
42:45
oh not Adam Thielen. Oh man, Wait does he know he's no?
42:51
Dang it. I just made us both said yeah, sorry and reminded
42:54
me that we played Carolina this year and we have to see Yeah, in
42:58
Carolina in a different jersey. Yeah, I saw a highlight of Bryce Young's
43:02
first pass as an NFL quarterback. Yea, it was to It was a
43:07
first down catch to to good old Adam theleen. Good for him. He's
43:14
another guy. He deserves every good thing that comes to have come to him.
43:16
But anyways, the Vikings receivers. But yeah, there's gonna be a
43:22
lot of competition. Obviously JJ is number one, but then you know you
43:27
have this slew of other guys, kJ Osborne, Jalen Rager? Who else
43:36
am I forgetting? I mean Jordan As those are the big three? And
43:42
then well no, I mean JJ, kJ and Jordan those are the big
43:46
three. And then you got Jalen Rager. You have who's the guy they
43:51
just recently signed? He was a bear last year? Oh, Nikkile Harry,
43:57
Yeah, Nikill Harry. He was a first round pick for the Patriots.
44:00
Just never really fully put it together. But I guess he's a big
44:05
dude, like two hundred and forty something pounds, Like big dude. What
44:10
was I listening to the power Trip on kfan Chris Hockey said he looked like
44:15
a tight end. Also, I think he wears number twenty eight, which
44:19
that needs to change right now. That number should be very tight. Yeah,
44:23
yeah, I don't. There's also another wide receiver who he's a fringe
44:28
guy. I might be a practice squad guy. I should know his name.
44:30
I'm disrespecting him right now. But he's wearing number nineteen. Like,
44:34
dude, the body's not even cold yet. You can't just give that number
44:37
away. Like Adam Thielen made nineteen cool. Yeah, don't tell me about
44:43
Keshawn Johnson. Adam Feelin made nineteen cool at least in Minnesota. He died
44:49
for sure. And while we're on this little tangent, Josh Oliver may go
44:53
down as the greatest blocking tight end in Viking's history. Yes, I know
44:59
who Jimmy client Saucer is. He may go down as the best one ever.
45:02
He is not allowed. Nobody should be allowed to wear the eighty four.
45:07
I agree. Why is that not retired? Let's talk really quick what
45:12
numbers? First of all, what numbers are already retired? Well, we've
45:15
got ten. We have fifty three, ten for Fran fifty three for mctinglehoff,
45:24
seventy seven for the late great Corey Stringery stringer. Eighty No, not
45:30
eighty one eighty eight for a defensive lineman, no doubt. I believe that's
45:36
allan page and that I'm sure I'm missing some. I'm trying to look it
45:42
up here. Ten fifty three, seventy seven eighty eight, Chris Carty,
45:49
Yeah, Chris Carter eighty and Jim Marshall seventy yes. Okay, So what
45:57
is that? Five six, six, ten fifty three seventy seventy seven eighty
46:01
eighty eight. Yes, And I think of the people we just mentioned,
46:07
Randy's eighty four, there's no question right now, do it? Yeah,
46:12
retire that number absolutely. I think eighty four needs to be retired, I
46:15
think, and I think twenty eight is close. Maybe not right now,
46:21
just because he's he's still he's not in the hall, but it's still technically
46:24
acting. Yeah. I mean like he hasn't officially retired. He's like one
46:29
of those dudes that's just sitting around waiting for one more yeah hurrah. So
46:36
I think eventually his Vikings career on the field earned that retired number, but
46:45
I don't know as far as current This is a whole other topic. This
46:49
is when we could we could make this a four hour long podcast. I
46:53
think twenty two is one that you could duel retire for Kraus and Harry the
46:59
Hitman agreed. Yeah, but then you get the argument you can't just retire
47:04
every number. True, but at some point, like I don't know,
47:09
the NFL is gonna get so old that well, they just added the number
47:14
zero back to the available numbers, and I mean you could throw in zero
47:20
zero too. I mean we can get all the digits. Yeah, they're
47:23
gonna need to go triple digits. Are there? How many numbers are retired
47:29
league wide? Are there any numbers that are like like a Jackie Robinson type
47:32
thing. Yeah, I don't think there's any. I don't think any official
47:36
league wide. Yeah, but I mean obviously every team has. The NFL
47:42
hasn't been around nearly as long as Major League Baseball. No, but they've
47:45
been around long enough that if Yeah. Well, but the interesting thing about
47:51
the NFL is it's the merger of two different leagues that both had some history
47:55
before they merged in the sixties too. So yeah, I don't I don't
48:01
really know if I could get on board with like a league wide one.
48:07
I mean, you think of who could have that honor, like Pat Tillman
48:13
seemed like a good dude. Yep, But is that in I mean he
48:19
served our country? Yeah? Yeah, that that to me, like he's
48:22
definitely in his own category. But it would have to be something like that,
48:28
like something like a Jackie Robinson to justify a league wide for sure honor
48:34
like that, Like that's higher than Hall of Fame. That's like the highest
48:38
anything could ever give you. You know, how are we doing of are
48:43
we? Are we getting a little long in the tooth here, Well,
48:45
we're doing fine on time, but we can wrap it up. Do we
48:49
want to talk about the fifty three man roster? Like? Do we want
48:52
to talk about like any anybody that you think will make or won't make the
49:00
roster? I don't think I'm prepared right now enough to go through like a
49:05
position by position breakdown. How about just like anybody here? Nay, I
49:12
mean we think this person will make it, this person won't. Like any
49:15
let's just like fringe players who's kind of on the bubble right now. I
49:21
mean we kind of had this topic one time with like a surprise cut,
49:24
remember where you said our favorite Yeah, he said he might he could be
49:32
in that category. And I said Cambine him, I don't. I don't
49:37
know that I agree with you on Cambin them. Yeah, and I'm not
49:40
I'm not putting my foot down on that that thought process, but yeah,
49:45
I don't know. I can't think of like a big even just like a
49:49
money guy, or like like if we were going through all of camp and
49:52
the whole story was man, Harrison Smith has been looking terrible and looks like
49:58
he's lost you know, eight steps, Like it would have to be something
50:01
like that for me to be like, is he going to make the team?
50:04
And we haven't heard anything like that. The players that we know,
50:08
like people that we've got context for, they're they're there and they're doing stuff
50:15
and we're getting some of those guys back, like Brian O'Neill, and I
50:20
mean, we haven't heard anything really from the quote unquote big name free agents
50:24
they've signed, Like have you heard Byron Murphy's name at all? Marcus Marcus
50:30
Davenport. I don't think he Davenport even played in the preseason game. But
50:36
I mean we're not hearing big good or big bad things about any of those
50:39
guys yet. I mean, yeah, I don't think there will be many
50:45
surprise cuts the money guys, you know, the the guys that it seems
50:51
like they're gonna cut for you know, salary cap. They've already done that,
50:54
Like Dalvin's gone, and you know Neil Hunter he signed and he's on
51:01
the team. Like he's going to be a Viking this year. Yep,
51:06
we didn't even really talk about that. Yeah, that was a big story.
51:08
That's a big deal, really, king, and I'm happy about that.
51:12
When he's healthy, which has been most of his career outside of the
51:15
one full lost season and then the half lost season next year, so a
51:20
good chunk. When he's healthy, he is. He is as much of
51:23
a physical freak as Adrian Peterson was in his prime. He's a beast.
51:28
Yeah, he's somebody you want on your team. He is disrupted in the
51:31
backfield, yep, for sure, And off the field he's not. We've
51:36
never heard a bad thing about good dude. Yeah, he's a great guy.
51:38
And if he's a jerk, he's not legally, you know, he's
51:42
never in trouble. Like I'm I'm glad Daniel Hunter is a Viking and I
51:46
want him to be a Viking forever. Agreed. What do you do you
51:52
think there's any fringe guys, do you have any names that might not make
51:57
it. I mean, I've kind of had my eye on Jalen Rager and
52:01
I kind of watched him with interest, and maybe maybe there's a little bit
52:07
of a vendetta there of like, well he's a former Eagle and we just
52:12
don't like the Eagles, and he looked bad last year. Like there was
52:17
in that Quarterback series. Yeah, there was one particular scene where Kirk came
52:24
off the field after throwing to Jalen and Jalen didn't catch it or something happened
52:30
and Kirk was mad, like I remember that auchis yeah, because yeah,
52:36
it was. It was a big play. It could have been huge,
52:38
and Kirk was very vocally frustrated with Kevin O'Connell and I don't know who else
52:46
Keenan McCardell and whoever else was on the sideline with him, of like,
52:51
I threw it right where he needed to be. He should have been there,
52:53
it was the perfect catch, blah blah blah. And I remember it
52:57
just like and I think we I think we were watching that game together and
53:00
we were both just like Jalen rigor what what he gave up, We'll not
53:05
give up. It's like he thought the play the ball had already been thrown
53:07
to a different guy. So yeah, kind of just he kind of just
53:09
stopped in the middle of the play. And yeah, that was That was
53:14
the moment last year where I'm like, Okay, maybe he's not all that
53:19
he's cracked up to me. And then the guy a little credit though I
53:22
agree he didn't look great, and but one of his first plays on the
53:25
team was a short rushing play he ranted in for a touchdown. True,
53:31
he had been traded. He is already going through, you know, not
53:35
living up to expectations in Philadelphia. Can you imagine being on that team and
53:40
those fans if you're not living up to their crazy expectations when you were drafted,
53:46
what two spots ahead of Justin Jefferson and just those and now you're on
53:52
Justin Jefferson's team, living in his shadow, and I can do that.
53:57
Fans probably ate him alive. He probably go out to eat. Oh yeah,
54:00
Like so I'll give him a little credit just as a person. And
54:06
I have a I have a very how do I say this? He's a
54:15
human being? Yes, And I get that, yes, And like I'm
54:17
not trying to, like I would never try to question anybody's humanity or question
54:23
anybody's like integrity when I don't know them personally or anything like that. But
54:29
I've just had my eye on him, yeah, and just wonder about like,
54:32
is is he that guy? And I think that I think that competition
54:37
at the wide receiver position, that wide receiver two position is really really interesting
54:42
with him kJ, Jordan Addison like that that's gonna be a really competitive spot,
54:50
and all three of them I think could realistically hold that spot and do
54:54
a pretty darn good job. Yeah. Well, I think anytime you team
55:00
spends a first round pick on your position, that is reason to perk up
55:07
a little bit. I mean, justin Jefferson is fine, but like everyone
55:13
else should be like questioning, like what am I doing that you think you
55:19
need to bring in a high profile rookie when maybe we need a better O
55:23
line or maybe we need better linebackers or whatever. Why is it my position
55:28
group that you're using this first round pick on? So all of those guys
55:31
kJ, Jalen Ragger, everybody in that room should at least be awake a
55:37
little bit. They got put on notice on draft night, and it's been
55:42
like, all right, bring your a game every day when you put on
55:45
that helmet and those paths in that jersey and you step out onto that field
55:49
at TCO and yeah, it's it's a battle, yeah, Ryan, And
55:55
I don't know, we'll find out who coach thinks will make that final roster
56:00
here. I am interested to see the final team. I don't think anything
56:04
crazy will be surprising, but yeah, and I've kind of followed it,
56:07
like they just released the like updated unofficial fifty three man roster and there there
56:13
weren't any like major surprises there. Yeah, so yeah, I agree with
56:17
you. I just didn't know. I was digging a little bit to see
56:21
if you had any and you mentioned that roster. I think it was once
56:25
that came out on Twitter. Dustin Baker, he had tweeted out. He
56:30
actually tweeted out like an hour before they released the roster, like something to
56:35
the tune of like, hey, we should probably see a first roster or
56:38
depth chart sometime soon, like it's about that time. And then the Vikings,
56:44
you know, released their their depth chart and uh he tweeted and was
56:47
like, yeah, I kind of hit that on the nail, didn't I
56:52
but he did tweet a little bit later and say, you know, last
56:57
year's first unofficial depth chart was pretty pretty on the ball, with the exception
57:04
of like two guys who ended up just being second stringers. Like other than
57:08
that, they were, they were pretty on the ball for who started the
57:12
first game. And I don't remember the two guys, but I think one
57:15
was Chris Reid, the offensive lineman, but I don't remember the other one.
57:20
But yeah, I mean there could be some some good information in that
57:24
first depth chart this year, which I need to to look more into.
57:30
Well more fodder for the next pod, next pod. Interesting. By the
57:37
time we record next I will have attended an NFL preseason game. Yeah it
57:43
is not. It is not a Vikings preseason game. So I'm going with
57:45
two other guys where one of those guys is a Colts fan, the other
57:51
guy is a Bears fan, both of whom may at some point find their
57:55
way on this podcast at some point. Wouldn't be surprised, but I am
58:00
going this coming Saturday, the Colts host the Bears, so cheap tickets obviously
58:07
for those two teams. And yeah, we're just going on a little little
58:12
quick trip, a little boys trip. Yeah, so I might have some
58:14
some nuggets about that game, even though it has nothing to do against the
58:17
Vikings, but some future trade prospects. Yeah, it could be. I'm
58:21
excited to see Anthony Richardson in person, even if it is only for a
58:24
few plays. Justin fields, who threw a couple of short passes yesterday,
58:30
yesterday, and all of a sudden, he's the MVP. You know,
58:35
good grief, he's a good running back. Yeah. So yeah, that's
58:39
that's where I'm looking at. By the time we record next well, and
58:44
you know, we're hoping to go kind of like pretty consistent weekly here pretty
58:52
soon. So yeah, our goal, you know, everything that could be
58:55
unforeseen, things that happened, but our goal is to have every week a
59:01
look ahead to the next game and a recap of the previous game. So
59:07
yeah, keep an eye out for weekly episodes. Yeah, hopefully we're able
59:14
to keep that going, and you know, interact with us. We've got
59:17
our socials looking for us at at the skull Hop on Twitter or x or
59:24
whatever you want to call it nowadays. Twitter is what I'm gonna call it,
59:29
Facebook, Facebook, Instagram, And I think we didn't we say last
59:31
time that we would offer up a free sticker. We did so we said,
59:37
hey, you know, I think we said the email. Our email
59:39
is the skull Hop at gmail dot com. Yeah, and we we got
59:46
exactly zero responses. So, hey, Brian and Forrest, I know you
59:52
guys are listening. If you want a skull Hop sticker, uh, send
59:55
an email. And this is the way that I'll know that you listen to
59:59
the whole episodes. So thank you, guys. Yeah, we'll hook you
1:00:00
up for sure. All right, well that's definitely the goal. And uh,
1:00:06
we're still reaching for that boat. Yeah, we're excited for the season
1:00:09
and excited for some weekly episodes. We got a little bit of work to
1:00:15
do before we get there, but yeah, I'm excited. Yeah. Hey,
1:00:19
just to wrap it around, what did you think Pseudo Sue? Did
1:00:21
it hit the spot today? Oh? Yeah, always hits the spot.
1:00:23
I've had this several times. Yeah, it's always a good, it's always
1:00:27
a good. Poor perfect. Well on that, We'll cheers and we'll say
1:00:30
school until next time. School School at a
