  Speaker 1: whatever the beginning of this was. I'm psyched to have
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: you here.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: We're excited to be here. The NFC North represents on
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: this one, huh.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: And the only team that's not invited is just the
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: good one.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: That intro was the intro of all three of our seasons.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we came in incited.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: We came in excited. Just that conness planned has.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: It optimistic and now we're on take nine.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: The division is such a funny thing for me because
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: it does feel like we're in this back to the
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Future two version of the NFC North.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're in the Biff Tan and timeline. Yeah, that's
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: exactly right.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: One thing I could say to the Vikings and the
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Bears fans here, and I think we can all relate,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: is that Jordan Love ain't that guy. He's just not
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: so Eric. Can I finish? Can I please finish? Before
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: you in a rope like you always do? Jordan Love.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: For Packers fans, they believe it's.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Red for Aaron Rodgers and the third.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Trilogy, and it's not. He's just a He's a middling quarterback.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: He's gonna end his career.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Side close the show. You're taking the grabbing the wheel.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Three different at the end of his career, it's going
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: to be the Packers for five years, the Panthers for
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: three years, and then he's gonna like and in Cleveland
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: or Jacksonville, give me you break with this guy. He's
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: just not a go ahead side.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Probably the most beautiful thing that's happened in the history
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: of this program is you just went off on Jordan
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Love and Gareth looked at me like.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Cy come on, so that's.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: You're about to get divorced. Yeah, and you look at
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: your wife's best friend like back me up, ye, backside.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Listen. This is all I'll say. And I think listen,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: I do not. I'm not under the impression that Jordan
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Love is having an all pro season. I will say,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: and Jake and I have done this through text messages,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: the Bears fans, all the other people in the NFC
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: North when Rogers was starting, We're gone, this ain't your guy. Yes, Jake,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I let you talk. Jake, I let you talk, and
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: and and so it's just more of the same. It's
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: five games in. Like, there have been moments where I'm like, ooh,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: this could be good. There have been moments where I'm like,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: what is going on? There's definitely I also feel like
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: the youngest team in the NFL to be saying like
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: this is over five games in. I think again, a
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: longer sampling, and I do think it's there is a
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: problem when you're listening to Bears fans in particular because
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: they're organization is so bad, is so toxically bad that
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: they they know they can't get to your level, so
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: their plan is to drag you down to their level.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Before I let the rage that's seeping out of Jake's
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: face enter his microphone at those last remarks, this is gonna,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: unfortunately be a little bit of two on one here, Gareth,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: because how I view the division is like a group
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: of brothers. But we don't have the same dad. The
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Packers their dad had a one night stand with our mom.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: They had. He's he's like a textile, you know, king,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: He's got sixty million dollars so far.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: I love the dad, but keep going. I feel like,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: is this okay?
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: I figure the dad too.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: By the way, the dad's a textile guy who's sleeping
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: with great. Let's go sleeping with his back to the textile.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: But let's go yeah, great.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: He has not taught his children the realities of the world.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: It's a bit of a trust fun baby. You crash
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: your Maserati and you go, don't worry. The next car
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: is a Porsche. It's that sort of stuff.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Well, Chyle, Okay, no, no, no, I'm gonna let you defend no.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: No, no, it's your show. It's your show. We both
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: know Gareth would love just.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Ja don't don't. Don't tell Cy what he can't. Let's
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: we're both saying the same thing. But I just don't
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: like the way Ja.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry about his dad. He's acting like him right now.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: The textile magnate.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: The point is you're an entitled older brother. Thank you
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: don't much recognize the realities.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: That's thank you. Keep going say that.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Jake and I live in with our dad, who you know,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: gave us a reasonable.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Work, like working class salt.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Jake's dad made him eat toenails with no water. Keep going, say.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: We can all agree that regardless of what happened with
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the first three children, the Detroit Lions was the little
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: brother who, like we thought he was putting sugar on
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: his cereal for eight years, but it was borax.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: But he's he seems he seems to be a bad man.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Right now. I will say about the Detroit Lions is
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: I had a lot of fun with that head coach
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: when he started, and oh the great I thought, what's
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: his name Campbell? Again?
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Campbell?
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: I thought he was the clown of all clowns. I
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: thought they did it again. I loved his talking about
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: how much Caffeini drinks.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: And then I saw Hard Knocks and I thought, if
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: I were a player, I wouldn't mind being on this
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: team that seems to respect the players and building a
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: new culture. And now I think the NFC North is
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: in a little bit of trouble.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Well, I think I think that whenever I watch Hard Knocks.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: I'm like, this team's gonna win the super Bowl, That's true.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: And so I thought that with the Lions too. I
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: was like, yeah, you always think that, but they are real,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: no doubt. I mean, that team is well coached, has
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: great personnel players.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: We just don't expect anything from him, So anything they do,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: you're like, holy shit, What's But I watched Hard Knocks
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: two and that opening speech he gave. If I was
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: in charge of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, I
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: would be less focused on performance and more focused on
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: could we get that rambling, fun mess of a speech
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: in there. He's like the non cowardly Lion. I just
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I love him. It's hard to dislike anything they're doing
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: over there.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Can I tell you something that Gareth has said about
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: his team in terms of like the opposite of what
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Dan Campbell says to his team every year when Aaron
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Rondgers were choking the playoffs, because we in the NFC
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: North not talking tracks.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: From when he won the Super Bowl. But go ahead,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: so long ago. But we also not like eighty five.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: You've been living off the fumes of that forever. He's continued,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: I'm asking you to keep talking, Please keep talking.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: I want you to so whenever they choke, I always say, like,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: here we go again. And then in a moment, Gareth
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: gets really emotional about the Packers. If you can tell
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: you and I side, we're doing the same thing. We're
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: wearing regular shirts like adults. He's wearing a nine year
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: old boy T shirt of the Green Bay Packers because
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: we were no because emotionally he's different, okay, and so
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: so we love our teams. You work for your team, right,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: He's like a little.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Bit, I'm an owner of my team. It's sad.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: It's because Dad the textile guy. But so when I said, like,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: well you guys choked again. In a moment of pure anger,
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: he wrote a text that will live on forever, where
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: he wrote the point is is to go far, dude.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: So as Packers fans, they're not looking to win Super Bowl,
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: the point is to go far. That that's because that's
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: not the point. The point is to win a super Bowl.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Go ahead? Sorry?
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Right? And how many of those winning? Just size laughing
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: right now? So I'll take go ahead. I'm gonna have
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: a heart attack.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Go ahead. I'm also sorry for Gareth he just rambles
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: on and on. I go ahead side?
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Why can't I mute? Jake Zoom is so tricky? I
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: will admit that that text was soon after I went
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: that was isn't great? But the point behind it was
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: my team's good, Your team's dog crash?
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: And what's the bet we made about the Super Bowl? Uh?
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: And Jordan Love by twenty five years. He believes that
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Jordan Love will win a Super Bowl and be the
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: starting quarterback of the Packers while they do it.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I believe manifesting.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: I believe they are three years away from a true
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: rebuild because I don't think the head coach is it.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: I think that they were all under the Aaron Rodgers umbrella.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: You saw what he did on the Jets and the
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: Hard Knocks where he made everybody better. But miss a
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: middling team that has And.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Then I'm on side of talk wit. Admit it, admit
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: the whole time that Aaron Rodgers was the Packers quarterback,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: you talked shit the holt. So it's like your opinion
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: of Aaron Rodgers when he left was.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Can I tell you why? Can I tell you why?
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Because you're delusional?
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Can I tell you why?
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Because you don't know what it's like to win, And
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: it's like it just has manifested in some really bizarre
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: ways in your head. That arguably is really said because
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: you think every offseason, this is the Bears year, and
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: then every three years you have to fire your GM
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: or your coach and restart, and then you draft a
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: quarterback and you're like, he's the future and he has
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: three years of middling And then.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Can I tell you why?
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah? What you say it, I'm asking because.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers is a super weird guy that we all
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: now know. But at the time, I was about nine
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: years ahead of that when he was wearing all denim
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: and a cowboy hat, and I would send it to
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: you as a Texas tuxedo. That's a great look, and
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: you would say things like that. Go ahead.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: The fact that you're still friends after you sent that
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: text message. The point is to go far Comma, dude,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: is shocking Because I have this trash talk rule. I
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: would have unleashed on that I wouldn't have been able
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: to like it too. And what I've had to learn
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: is that I can trash talk generic fans, but within
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: my interpersonal relationships my closest friends who are fans of
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: other teams, we just have this understanding that I get
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: frustrated and I can turn inward. I'm a big turn
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: inward guy. Interesting, and so if somebody sends me a
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: message that really sucks after a terrible loss, they're gonna
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: get something that's not about football back. They're gonna get
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: get nasty. Yeah, they're gonna get a you know how
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: you can't stand the way your dad treats people. You
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: do the same thing but in different ways. Like that's
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: what you're getting back from me.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: See, I will say, Gareth and I we go really hard,
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: but we both live in the same zone with it.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: We never I will go on a little bit that
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: the you know, Gareth has stretches where he lives with
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: his mom and dresses like a nine year old boy.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: I will tap into.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: That complete again. If Jake wanted to live in reality,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: we'd love to have him, as with all the Bears fans,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: but unfortunately they've accepted an invitation to La La Land,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: where they want to play in flowers and drinking candy
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: cane rivers.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: In the last month, Gareth, whose roof have you lived under?
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: The I was in hotels while I was touring in
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: the United Kingdom. Garethriddles dot conference information and where my
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: mother lives? I spent some time there on a bit percentages.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: Were you in your mother's home.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: It's Steve forty mom seventy seventy thirty.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: If you're with your mother's house seventy thirty, you live
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: with your mom Homeboy.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: No, you're staying there, Siy, Please join me.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Don't don't you there? Don't you dare bring me into
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: this one.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: I ask you a question if you lived with your
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: mother seventy percent or stayed with your mother seventy time?
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Do you live with your mom?
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Here's the big question? When you left your mom's Gareth,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: where you go? Where are you going home?
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: To my home? Where's that at California, Los Angeles? Does
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: it have an address? Is it a home?
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: You're gonna get or is it a home box?
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: I'm not your I'm not male. I'm not going to
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: give the address, but yeah, there's my stuff's there.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Hey, Si, have you ever heard of someone's home as
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: a po box? At a weird mailbox in La where
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: he asked me to pick him up sometime? He goes, Hey,
• 14:09

• 14:11
  Speaker 3: at my mommy's place wearing my little Packers gear. And
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: can you please show us your right arm?
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Si?
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: Can you show us your right arm?
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: You have to admit, Gareth, you pulled your sleeve up.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I'd like to see the other sleep because here's the thing.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to buy the other arm. We are
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: going to talk. We are going to talk about this.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Oh I love Yeah, give me that bad boy. I
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: love a good tattoo that you should get.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: You must love this. Oh wait, and you have.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: What's that Jake about an oblong softball size? There? It's
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: not a small green Bay Packers logo.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: Tennis ball, bicep, it's a tennis ball.

• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Twenty four I felt real good again. It's hard to

  Speaker 2: explain to you too. I understand why you guys are
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: gonna have fun with this, but you don't know what
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: winning like. Often consistently Super Bowls, you don't know what
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: that's like.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Because the point is is to go far. The point
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: is is to go for.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Well the furthest. The point is to go furthest. But
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: if you're going far, your team's pretty good, which is
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: a good indicator. But uh, and then now I feel
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: very happy about it, still proud. It's a connection to
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: where I'm from. I love the Packers. I'm a part owner.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: I have Nick Barnett, former linebacker, follows me on Twitter.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: So does Gilbert Brown. I'm piped in.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Things are good, Jake geeky ending, So Gilbert Brown, nice
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: wrap up. Anytime you finish up with Gilbert Brown, people
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: in your home state are gonna love that.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: That's right, and that's what I'm playing to. I'm not
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: playing to you leaves up front.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: So sorry when you guys asked me to do this.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: The reason I've brought garethon is because the Bears.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: It's all reflection.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: He's this is not about This is not about our podcast.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: We're here to help. This isn't connect.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: No, It's like if you if like your child gets
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: burned and you start shaking keys in front of its
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: face to just sort of take its mind off the burn.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: That is what a Bears fan. That's the metaphor.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Are you saying you're the keys?
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: You're a metaphor for him?
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Distracting his football is like, hey, you know when a
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: newborn gets torched and you have to hold Jack.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Is trying to cover his pain with anything shiny that
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: can take his mind off it for a minute. He
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: has the brain of a raven. He's smart, but he
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: also loves the shiny thing, and that's what he needs
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: because his day to day life is looking for grubs
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: and dirt.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: Thank you for lying and saying I was smart. Here's
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: what I will say. Say we got a big game
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: on Sunday, and I will say it is a pivotal
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: game in the division. And here's why you guys just
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: lost your wide receiver. I'm not a believer in Kirk Cousin.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: You're not either, I know, Nope, nobody on planet Earth is.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: I think he's really rock solid, but he's just not
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: the guy. I think your head coach had a great
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: year last year, but I do think you guys won
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: a lot of close games, and this year it might
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: be a revealing process of who the vikings might be.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: The Bears, we were very overhyped.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: I was really I was just gonna say, who was.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Hold on you? Animal? We have underperformed. But I will
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: say the last two weeks there's a kid out of
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Ohio State and Justin Fields, who's playing some great football
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: this week. If he throws up another game the way
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: he's been doing, and our defense under Eberflus, which is
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: why we got that sob and boy has he under delivered.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: But if our defense finally plays some version of a
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: cover two, that I guess is excited and we can
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: shut you guys down without your wide receiver and put
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: up real numbers, Well the NFC North just got excited
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: because I think Jordan Love is on the beginning of
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: a downward spiral. That is the big game.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: What's your deal? It's an obsession. It's a disgusting obsession.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: And so I think this Sunday, I think the Lions
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: are going to win the division, and I think there's
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: another team out of the NFC North who could sneak
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: into the playoffs. But if the Vikings dominate this Sunday,
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: the Bears are in tank mode. Eber Flutes is fired.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: I think everybody's on the chopping block. But if we win,
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: I think you guys are starting to chase the Caleb
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Williams Lotto and I think one of the teams after
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: this Sunday their seasons over.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: You saw how he fumbled his pen right there, say
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: just classic Bears fan, can't hold on to anything for
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: too long. It was a.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Unique combination of impressive football thought and poor hand eye coordination.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: You don't get those two next to one another in
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: real time very often.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Well, you put them on the field.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Was what I was going to do was a spin
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: And in my head I thought the spin, and I.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Realized, you're not Lars Olrik. Yeah what are you doing?
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Because I've never practiced. It was gonna be this who's
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: gonna go and then? And that will determine our season.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: That's not bad. We could fix it a post. We
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: could fix it a post.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you said your editor is a genius.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah that was real sad, So.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: Say, what do you think of that? That push in
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: terms of Sunday. Where are we at? What do you
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: think the Vikings fans are going to feel about that?
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: And what do you feel about it?
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Gohead, there's no need for me to talk. I just
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: watched two losers scrap it out in the sewer. I
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: think you're wait, who do I.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: See down here? Jordan Love and that little geek coach
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: of yours.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: I thought we weren't talking about it. I'm sorry, I'm
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: upstairs in the mansion with the textile money.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's your fans, not your team. Do not
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: use my metaphors against me. I I think there's some
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: truths in what you just said. I will tell you.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: I don't like going to Chicago. Two things. Chicago's a
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: great city. It's hard to make fun of.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: It's not like I'm going to manit walk. I'm going to.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Shoo that one cut the My mother used to live
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: in Mantua, that one, that one got his boat boom.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: And by the way, you're talking about a major metropolitan
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: city versus somewhere in the bumble aft. No, don't, don't.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: You can't.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: You can't play both sides of the game.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Go to a roorchy and be like, ooh, the big
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: town look at that.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: But they're they're not the Champagne Bears.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so so I can I just say really fast. So,
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Gareth and I do a podcast called We're Here to Help.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: It's an advice podcast. It's been going really great. There
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: is a real problem with it, and that is the
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: yap and yap yap from Little Packer Boy because he
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: just doesn't know when it's time for the other to speak,
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: as in, you side.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Well, to be fair, we're used to being a top something,
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: no shot, but go ahead side, we want.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: You to talk about God, I got nothing.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: I hate going to Chicago.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: We could have Randy Moss and Jerry Rice in their
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: prime and we'd walk into Chicago and be up ten
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: to eight with a minute thirty to play, and Justin
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Fields would have the ball driving down for a field goal.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know what our record is in Chicago, like definitively,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: but in the last twenty years we probably haven't won
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: more than three times. I hate this game. This is
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: like one of my least favorite games of the year.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: What do you think about getting rid of Cook as
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: a running back? Because I didn't get that. I think
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: he's such a talent.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: My ideology with coaches and general managers is bring them
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: in when they come in. I'm not smart enough to
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: make those decisions, and so I like to be proven,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: like prove to me that I shouldn't like you. And
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: so we are so early into it, and Quacy has
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: done such a good job with a number of moves,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: and O'Connell, like you said that, dude was incredible last year.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: I'm not quite at the point where I'm going I
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: hate these moves.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: That's a good attitude because when it's early, you shouldn't
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: jump and rush to judgments because that's what loser organizations do,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: you know. So like, if you have someone new, give
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: him a second before you start saying crazy stuff.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: Is Jordan Love considered newer?
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: It's he in year four, He's played five games as
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: a starter. So what are you talking about exactly?
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: But Aaron Rodgers his first year, he was in the
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: playoffs breaking round. He was, yes, he was, I've sent
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: you the tech, I've sent you the article.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Geek, here's a question for you. I know we were
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: getting into the game a little bit, but I need
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: to know both you guys are super successful dudes, and
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: my favorite thing to ask guys who are die hards
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: and have started to achieve success in their careers. I mean, Jake,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: with your character on New Girl, obviously you had to
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: have had something to do with the Chicago tie.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So when the show started, my character and Lamarn's
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: character Winston were supposed to be from ann Arbor, Michigan,
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: and Liz Meriweather had spent She'd grown up near ann Arbor, Michigan.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: And I said, thank you for the job. I'd love
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: to do it. He's from Chicago. I'm from Chicago. If
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: you do Michigan, we're gonna have to connect to that
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: and it's gonna really alienate me. Can we make them
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: from Chicago? And then we were able to talk Cubs
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: and Rizzo and the Bears and the Bulls and it
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: just makes it so much more fun.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Have you guys had because of, you know, being more
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: synonymous with the teams you love? Have you guys had
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: cool moments? I mentioned Gilbert Brown.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Follows me, right, did I say that? I'll go ahead
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: side sorry with that. But here's the thing.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Gilbert Brown was a phenomenon for a few years.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: He had a burger named after from a burger kick.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Things are good, go ahead side.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: But there are those moments. I remember they let me
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: on the field before games every once in a while,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: and they shouldn't absolutely because everybody else is a grown up,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, uh, it's.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: The guy I root for. Can I hold the marker? Yeah?
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I got a cool one. I got a I
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: had gotten in touch in twenty sixteen with some of
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: the Cubs and we were on Twitter DM and each
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: other what have you, And I'd gotten to know John
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Lester a little bit and it was Game seven and
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: I was like inch cago with my dad and was like,
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: you know, it's like a little dork just the end,
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: like at a great game, John, And I thought like,
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: I was like, we're all written for you here in
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: Chicago or something so just nerdy and it just true excitement.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: And I thought, you know, if you're about to pitch
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: Game seven of the World Series, you must be in
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: some like weird tank where you're just like eating protein
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: and stretching. And he wrote back like thanks man, It's
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: gonna be a lot of fun. He's like, I'm feeling good.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: And I wrote back like thank you for responding on
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: this glorious day and we just went back and forth
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: a little bit, and he was so normal, you know.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: It was like He's like, yeah, everything's good. How's ever?
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: And I was like, whoa, put your phone down, man? Focus? Yeah,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: was that unsettling.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: I saw Dwight Howard before the biggest.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Game of the Lakers.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Yere once pitching a show and at like Relativity Television,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: and I like, as he was walking out, I was like,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: go go to the gym.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Well, you realize they're they're not They're not like us
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: as fans, like when we're watching games. They'll be like
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: nine adults standing up on their right foot because they're like,
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: I'm so nervous and if I step on my left
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: foot they might lose. This is just what they do.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: No, there's that Joe Montana story where he saw John
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Candy in the crowd during the Super Bowl.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the best.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Thank you for saying I'm super successful. So I'm still
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: nothing good as happening as far as the Packers go.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: But after a show once I did do a show
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: and mention the Packers, and then Nick Barnett was standing
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: there and I couldn't place him because you know how
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: like you sip you go through running. You go through
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: like all these players so quickly and you know them
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: completely and then like three years later you're like what.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: And I was like looking at him and it took
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: me about a minute and a half, like we'd taken
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: a picture before. I was like Nick Barnett. And then
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: we went out and hung out that night. But outside
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: of that, I wasn't texting anyone. Before Game seven, I
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: did get to tour the vikings before it was open. Really,
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: uh yeah, I took because there was a guy I
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: knew who whatever basically was like, if you want to
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: come take a look, and I was like okay, And
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: I was white and they made me wear a Viking's
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: hard hat. As I was walking around, I was like,
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: this is some bullshit. And then as I was walking around,
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: I just in the distance see a golden God a
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: guy working with a packer's hard hat on, and I
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: went over to him and I'm like yeah, and I
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: showed him my awesome tattoo quite Jake and uh, and
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: we like talked for a minute. I can't remember. Someone
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: said like they wrote an article, but I googled him
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: and they and the Journal Sentinel in Milwaukee. They'd written
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: an article about working behind enemy lines.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and the worker afterwards said like that little boy
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: was really nice. I was glad I made his day.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: I'm just worrying a hat at work and some little
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: boy ran up to me and was like, oh, whoa,
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: I have a tattoo? Can I have a hug? Are you?
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: I'll tell your little d weird o DM story. I
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: let you get away with it. Living in your fan
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: is why I was a reeping This guy out.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: The guy the report that didn't get in there is
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: Gary said will you be my dad?
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: What did he say?
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: How did he respond?
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: I said, good luck with the stadium, even if you
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: don't finish it. The point is to go far. You
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: don't need to finish the whole thing for it to
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: be an amazing time. Just just build as much as
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: you can and then on.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: The point for the Bears, it's to stay in Soldier
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: Field forever.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: For some reason, I've told this story a lot, and
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: I will shortcut it. But my brother in law was
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: very close with somebody in the organ. We didn't get
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: to go to games growing up, and so when I
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: got older and my brother in law had this connection,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: it was a like kid in a candy store type stuff,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: kind of like you with a guy with a packer's
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: construction hat on. And so he brought us down on
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: the field and it was the far viear. It was
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: the first far year and we were brought onto the
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: field like where I got to go see a losers
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: to all the people who had the coolest spot.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: And he tapped.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Brett Farv and went Brett and like intered Eustas and
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: all I said to him, like you think you can
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: handle those moments? I just said the word gunslinger.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: That was my whole I went gun slinger and he
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: was like yeah, and then he just went like it was.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: It was very so I'm not I'm not built for it.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: If John, if I was texting John Lester before Game seven, I'd.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Been like, what are you eating? What's happened? I wouldn't.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: I was selling no chance. Hey, Gareth, do we have
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: a Brett Farv Viking story?
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: No, we don't, and unfortunately we do have to hop
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: off side. This has been an incredible time, but we
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: have a we have a nine thirty. No we do.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just like I have told that story on the
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: show before. It was of no value to the program
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: for me to tell it again. It was literally in
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: hopes that as I cast that big Brett fav worm
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: outa into the water that there would be a bass.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Wait, Bobber's bobbin.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: And there's there's a mass.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: There's some bites. Jake again, to his credit, I call
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: him rule Book because he's just very he has We've
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: talked about it even with our podcast. He there is
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: a really he has a very specific skill set, which
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: is he reads things very well. Not sports. But he
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: said to me, and I think it was I think
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: I don't even think Brett Farv had signed with the
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Vikings yet. It was just like the plane was going
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: to killn Mississippi, like there was just there were storm clouds.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: Very emotional, He was very emotional.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: And I was in not a good place with it,
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: as as always, and Jake wanted to exploit. Jake wanted
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: to exploit it as usual, because you are a vicious
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: personality despite our charming. You see the time and hold.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: On, let me get you, and then you remember exactly
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: where you're at. I said, with that team of the Vikings,
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: you guys were good, but you didn't have a quarterback.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: And correct, you guys were very real, and Brett Favre
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: was still good. And I go, if Farv goes to
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: the Vikings, they're going to be dangerous and he goes, no, No,
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Farvar is done. I go, if they go, they're going
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: to be dangerous, go ahead.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: I was in a tough spot and I was going no, no,
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: and I'm going, I don't you know, I don't know.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Jake goes, well, what would you do if they won
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: the super Bowl with Farv? And that's when I got
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: a case of not going to happen. So I was like,
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: not gonna happen, not gonna have Well, what would you
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: do if it? If it did, it's not gonna happen, Well,
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: what would you do? I'm not nothing, it won't happen.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: No, I said, well what might happen? And you go
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: out of nowhere? You go, if brat Farv goes to
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: the Vikings that they win a super Bowl, I will
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: put a little wooden rod into the whole of my
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: penis and break it off. And I said, I go, Gareth,
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: we were taking a hike hike in Griffith and I go, well, Gareth,
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: that's stupid. You'll never do that. And he goes they won't.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: I go, let's get to reality.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: The Jakesy's blood in the water. He's got a good
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: chump sense, like I said, And he said, well, why
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: don't we grind it? How about if Brett Farvre takes
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: the Vikings to the super Bowl and plays the first
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: half he's a big plays the first half guy and
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: wins and wins, then you to go along with your
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: packer tattoo, have to get a tattoo on your calf
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: a farvitage Vikings, Jersey.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: With the writing of it, my MVP Minnesota's Brett Farvre.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: This is a moment that I should have read better.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: I just said let's go, because for the rest of
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: the year people would say, well, what do you get
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: if he doesn't get it? And I would go nothing,
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: And people were like, that's not a bet, that's just
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: a stupid thing. That's like a contract you signed without
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: reading the top. And I'm like, yeah, it's a fair point.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: So we shook hands on it. Gareth earned the nickname
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: from that moment. I was rule book and he was
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Option one. And then the season starts and as we know, magical.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Magical, he's not fire. He's there's games where it's over
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: and he's fine his spots in the end zone.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: You didn't know existence that Niners game living in it.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Like the first few games were a little chunky because
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: it's an old man quarterback and a run dominant offense,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: and even some of like the state hadn't completely bought in.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: But when he threw that like whatever yard touchdown to
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: a receiver who just joined the team a day ago
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: or whatever, we're like, this is what it feels like.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: It was tough to watch, and so on and on
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: they go. Magical season. And as the season's progressing, Jake's
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: texts are getting a little more specific. I wouldn't even
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: say just he's starting to send dimension questions what do
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: you think in like six seven inches? You know, because what.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: Gareth and I do and one of the reasons we
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: do the podcast together is we do a lot of bits,
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: but we do take everything we say seriously, so the
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: advice will give. The reason we like kind of stupid
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: callers is because we're not real therapists. But whoever calls
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: in with whatever problem we're gonna try to solve, and
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: for this he's at it. So we are going to
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: do a tattoo. We are gonna sit together. I don't
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: need it to cover his whole leg, but we're not
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: gonna do when that's an inch big, we are going
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: to go probably cover the calf. Yeah, And Gareth is fair.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: I will say, you're very fair. You're like, we're gonna
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: do it, right, man, let's talk real dimensions. But we're
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: gonna do If we're gonna do it, I'm gonna get
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: a real bread far tattoo in a Viking. Seriously, that
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: is my MVP.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: My stress level is is skyrocketing.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: Wait, Gareth, can I be honest? My stress level was
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: panicking because I was like, I have which I don't
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: know at the time, but we had other friends going like,
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: you're not going to really hold him to it, and
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: I'm like, you don't know us. I have to hold
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: him to it, but I don't want him to get
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: this tattoo.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: It's too much. Well, and it was also other other
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: friends are starting getting to this gonna be great when
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: he has to get this tattoo. So it's becoming more
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: of an event. So we all get together for the
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: NFC Championship game Viking Saints. I will not I will
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: not dig my face into the scar that for that game.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: But as you remember, they lost, but that game was
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: not lost because of Brett Farv. People remembered that that
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: terrible throw in overtime, that was a bad decision, but
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Peterson fumbled four times. It was like, felt like a
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: thousand should have won that game. And for some reason,
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: the textile daddy in the sky smiled down upon his
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: beautiful baby boy and said, no, no, no, my friend,
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: No no no. But it was stressed.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: It was so Chad Daniels and I were playing have
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: you done Skyline? Gareth out in Appleton. Yeah, So we
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: were playing Skyline the weekend. The first time the Packers
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: played the Vikings with Brett Farr was a Monday night
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: game and we were in We were in Appleton playing
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Skyline and I had brought with a Vikings far of Jersey,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: and Chad, who feels a lot like what's going on
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: here with you two, was like, wear it, wear it
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: on stage. I think that'd be neat if you wore
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: it on stage.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: So he sends me up on stage. I'm like, of course,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: I'll wear it on stage. And then he's in the
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: back and he has the sound guy queue up the
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: dun Dun, dun duh the theme music, and then I've
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: never heard a boo like that in SAE because it's
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: only a couple hundred people. But You're like, is this
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: what it feels like to be the most hated wrestler
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: in the biggest arena on the planet. But then all
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, I saw the lights slowly come up
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: because I was full.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: I was haulk Hogan like I.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Was into it, and he said he had to bring
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: the lights up because he saw guys getting that. I'm
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: gonna throw a full beer at his face vibe. Is
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: there an example in history that you can think of?
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Had it happened, had they won the Super Bowl with
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Brett Favre, That's probably the most unique championship story in
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: sports history because of the huge rivalry, the way it ended.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: And then the first year he goes everyone to it
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: had been like nothing anybody had ever seen. And now
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: the Vikings fans go, We've won the same amount as
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: you with.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: Farv in one year. It would have been crazy or
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: just like we won a championship. Is this what it's
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: like to do the show? Jake? But yeah, what we're
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: having a fine, what's going on.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: It was too quick. But it was too quick and
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: too mean.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: And if I knew you.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: Were a sign SI, it's emotion.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: I know I'm saying that would be awesome because you
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: would know, you would understand it. And Jake, Jake, Jake.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Same thing with Jake, because you know if he was
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: like in diapers when they won the last one. But
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: they've been living off the fumes of that forever.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: So cy cy for you and I. We're just trying
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: to do a podcast. We're trying to add a little
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: bit of joy for people. And what we're dealing with
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: is a guy I love, one of my best friends
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: on planet Earth. I love the guy. He's got emotional
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: years ago.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: It's nuts forty years ago.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: You know, the big problems he has. It's also big
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: problems the Packers have. And it's the problem the fan
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: base has. They're not seeing reality, and that is they
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: have a hole in the middle.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: Jake and Jake coming from you seeing reality. Let's be honest,
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: I mean truly when it comes to football reality.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: We have a bet this year, don't we What is
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: it we do?
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we have bets every year. We used to have
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: a bet that whoever won the division or went the furthest.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: Hey, Garrett, Gareth, this is a this is a Viking podcast.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: I don't think they want to hear a Packer fan.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: Ramble would buy the winter Dinner and the and the
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: winner got to put the loser in whatever gear they
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: wanted for their team. And Jake called the bet the
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: annual bet off because he just ended up being I
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: would torture him over his stake every.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Year for years, but now is the moment to revive it.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Now, now is time.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Now we're You can't enter a bet like that when
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: somebody has one of the whether I am a huge
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: fan of the guy or not, one of the three
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: greatest throwers of a football of all times, it's hard
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: to be like, I want to be in a competition
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: with you every year. To wear a silly hat like
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: that's a tough start.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: It's a different thing. When he was there, he was
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: truly special. And the way that they treat legends over
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: there is a really disgusting thing about the fan base
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: and the organization because if you've got somebody with that
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: level of talent that's done that much for your city,
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: I know, the great fans of Minnesota in a city
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: in Minneapolis and St. Paul, the Twin Cities. I love them.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: I'm actually there this Saturday. The Doll Up, my other podcast,
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: is going to be in Saint Paul Saturday Fitzgerald Theater,
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: and I love the town and I love so.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: Let everybody go to that show and boo him because
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: he hates your team.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Let's no No dollapodcast dot com go, let's end.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: I do this every week and it's I'm asked to
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: do it. It's my least favorite part, especially because we
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: have somebody who has no emotional stake in the game whatsoever. Uh,
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: let's do predictions for this Sunday's game. Jake, you can
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: go first. Gareth, I will let you go second.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: So I think this game is Our defense isn't great.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: So even though you guys don't have your wide receiver,
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: I think you're gonna put up points. But I think
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: Justin Fields is starting to come into his own a
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: little bit, so I think we're gonna put up some points.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: DJ Moore and Justin Fields together they have a perfect
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: rating when Justin throws to him. We had to chase
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: Claypool ordeal which is now over, which I think kind
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: of messed up our offense a little bit. I don't
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: mind the play. I thought he was going to be
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: great coming out of Notre Dame, but he just wasn't
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: a fit for us. So I think it's going to
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: be I think we're gonna take the victory, but I
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: think it's going to be about thirty one to twenty eight,
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: and I think it's gonna come down. I think it's
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: gonna be a very close game. And I think there
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: it might end with the ball in Kirk Cousins hands.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: And don't do it, Dad, And I think it might.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: And he ain't for haviny eight Rogers. He's more of
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: a love go ahead.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: Ain't five. Yeah, it's just trying to connect with you
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: a little bit. But you've proven yourself again to be
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: a nasty, nasty man.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Cry.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: First of all, great show. I love being here. I
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: love the Vikings fans, Saturday Fitzgerald, Theater, Dollar podcast dot Com.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: I appreciate you having Jake. Jake does not have a
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: place or a venue a lot of times to kind
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: of express these delusional thoughts, and it is nice for
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: him to go play pretend in the in the playroom,
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. He's the little kid who
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: has the Tonka truck, but in his head he's making
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: some men for the big work site, so it's fun
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: for him. Now, I want to focus on the prediction.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Uh I will say Jefferson is just a big loss
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: as you as you know, as much as I despise
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: the Bears and just Jake's general attitude, uh, I do
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: think the home field. I think some of the stuff
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: he said is true. I want you guys to sign
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: Kirk making real concrete, please, please please. The grown ups
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: are talking. Go play in the little playroom, Go put
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: your toys in the little chest, and then you can
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: have some you know, you can have a little pudding
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: your feed. Kids putting right, I think that the it's
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: not going to be a high scoring game, so I
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: would guess that again. Divisional game, I would think probably
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: the Bears by around three. I would go somewhere around
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: the like twenty seventeen zone, probably something like that.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: I think those are both reasonable predictions. Thank you, guys,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: means a lot that you did the show.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: Well. I'm going to close with it.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: I just don't want to be I don't want anyone
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: to respond that's not I'm not interested in that, I'm
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: gonna go with Thank you, guys, you're fantastic. I we
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: really had a nice time.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: Thank you. I'm good.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: I think the Vikings defense is going to come to play,
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: so I think it'll probably be Bears fourteen Vikings one
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: hundred and thirty eight. I enjoy both of your personalities.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: I've had a really nice time and what's just happy
• 42:02
