00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: conversation commences right now, by the way, combine radio with

Speaker 1: me and Pete Persich from Indianapolis next Tuesday and Wednesday.

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: That is the only place you will hear Viking's head

00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: coach Kevin O'Connell and acting general manager Rob Razinski from Indianapolis.

9
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: It'll be nine to noon next week. I don't believe

10
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: those two are speaking from the podium, So nine to

11
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: noon on Tuesday and Wednesday the only spot to hear

12
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: Ko and acting general manager Rob Razinski and fiena fairness

13
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: of nine to noon act. There can't be any Kirk

14
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: Cousins questions because he's currently under contract with the team.

15
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: But Ben and I chatted a little bit about it recently,

16
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: where it does appear that Kirk will be cut in

17
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: mid March, and you not out, you got you got

18
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, beloved Cheetah got released by Miami. He comes

19
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: out and says, I'm turned up, I'm you know they'll

20
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: pay it's all the same stuff we've heard a million times. Yeah,

21
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: but like when when you have quarterback uncertainty like they

22
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: do here, and when I say uncertainty, it comes with

23
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: respect simply because I think O'Connell has said that, you know,

24
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a competition in the off season, so

25
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: that that would kind of breed or lead to the

26
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: word uncertainty a little bit. I mean, can you even

27
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: ponder like free agent wide receivers or cheatah guy or

28
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: something like that until you get your quarterback situation set.

29
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: What's your view on that?

30
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know if it has to go in

31
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: sequential order like that. Yeah, first of all, good to

32
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: see you, as always your two brothers, so I know,

33
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: I think that you can make those decisions independently of

34
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 2: each other. The whole Cheetah thing, I think it's a

35
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: it's a fun thing to toy with and play with.

36
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 3: Cheetah got a last season.

37
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: I think that's the biggest thing for not only us,

38
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: but for everybody else.

39
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 3: Is that how healthy is he going to be?

40
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know a late season acl you know, most

41
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: likely not going to be back to his full strength

42
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 2: until the end of next season.

43
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 3: So you really. Yeah.

44
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: I mean most most guys will say that, yes, I

45
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: can play, I can play within ten months, but when

46
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: can I be fully explosive. It's usually like months fourteen

47
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 2: and beyond.

48
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: So he's going to be a freebie during the season

49
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: because if he's on a roster into the season and

50
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: he's a vested veteran, well they got to guarantee it.

51
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 1: If he's there after week one, then you got to

52
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: wait a long time.

53
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think that he'll be He won't be

54
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 4: an opening day roster guy. So in fairness, it happened

55
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 4: September twenty ninth.

56
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 3: Oh I did, oh, I thought it was a lot

57
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 3: of season, Yeah, November. No, it was week four.

58
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 4: I just had to verify when I when I heard

59
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 4: the late season bit, it was earlier than you think.

60
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 4: But still guy as of opening day, certainly out one hundreds.

61
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: Has McCarthy to take the snap, Geeta over here, Jefferson

62
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: over there, Hockinson stroking the post play action off Aaron

63
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: Jones sounds good enough.

64
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 2: To Okay, So when when did Darisov get his that?

65
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 2: When did when did darisaw hurt his a cl late set?

66
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 5: Yeah?

67
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 3: Seven or eight at so far?

68
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: So we never really got a full healthy version of

69
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 2: Christian darrisol really this whole season.

70
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 3: Well so yet you're right, but I mean he you

71
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 3: know he no granted is you know you.

72
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: Could clearly tell there was a massive contraption underneath his pads.

73
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: Sure at mini camp when they when they when they

74
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: trolled him out there Mini camp. So I was like, damn,

75
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: look at this man. He's going to start Week one,

76
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: start the entire season. Holy cow, what a fiasco that

77
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: thing turned out to be. Yeah, So I guess the

78
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: only reason I bring that up is so for like every.

79
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: Every guy that's recovered super super fast, there's also you

80
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: have to keep in mind there's the law of averages

81
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 2: where it says that there are some guys that maybe

82
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: not recovered, you know, in a year year plus and

83
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: not be one hundred percent. So the fact that he

84
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: was let's say October one, that that Tyreek will be ready.

85
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: Now he might be cleared for football, but when would

86
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: he be the cheetah that we know? Probably not until

87
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 2: late in the season.

88
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 3: And I don't know.

89
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 2: I guess since it was kind of an early tear,

90
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 2: then maybe he would make an opening day roster. Somebody

91
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: would guarantee that contract knowing that they're going to get

92
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: ten games with him. It might be worth it if

93
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 2: you go ten games plus a playoff run and you've

94
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: got a guy that can split the field wide open

95
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: and open up other things for you and be a

96
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: real threat. If you check the mentals and everything else

97
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: checks out, and you're like, Okay, don't come in here

98
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: and be a turd. Okay, you just like you do

99
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: what we ask you to do, and you play, you know,

100
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 2: you play like an adult, then I think that we can.

101
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: Use a guy that all sounds like McVeigh rolling the

102
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: dice right in front of Halloween to book and pooka nakula.

103
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 3: That's just what it sounds like.

104
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, because just located me in multiple ligaments.

105
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: Oh oh yeah, that good luck with that. Don't look

106
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: up the highlight. It's nastyly Uh.

107
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 3: Hey do you.

108
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 5: Do?

109
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: You happen to know who what school has the most

110
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: players invited to the twenty twenty six NFL Combine, because

111
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: when I saw this yesterday it surprised me a little bit,

112
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: Like what school it will surprise you? Well it, yeah,

113
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: probably shouldn't, but I don't follow college football as closely

114
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: as you do. I can tell you Oklahoma, Miami and

115
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: Georgia each have ten.

116
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, well they're tied for fourth.

117
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,679
Speaker 1: Then you get Ohio State with eleven, in LSU with eleven,

118
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 1: they're tied for third.

119
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 3: Can you nail the exact of the top two? Alabama?

120
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,239
Speaker 3: Alabama's number two? Well done?

121
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: So now we just which school has the most players

122
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: at the twenty twenty six scouting combine. And obviously it

123
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: was a good team last year. But nothing really script

124
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: with me here. But look, what do you think?

125
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 3: Miami?

126
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 5: Uh?

127
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: No, the Canes? Now the Canes. They're tied with Georgia

128
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: and Oklahoma. One more gas? Okay, one more guess usc.

129
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 4: Man, stop Texas A.

130
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 2: And m okay, that is a sneakyteen.

131
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 3: Yeah they got thirteen players there? Boy, all right, how

132
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: many can you name the d They got a couple

133
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 3: of D linemen. I couldn't name them off the top

134
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 3: of my head that I think of some good D lineman.

135
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 3: You remember, let me search through my notes, not only

136
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 3: worry about that. We're Oh gosh, we're good. Isn't where

137
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 3: the banecats from? Or as you know, he's a Miami guy?

138
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 3: Oh my bad?

139
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 5: Well?

140
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 3: Uh Indiana.

141
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: I you, uh, the Indiana Hoosiers, the national champions they

142
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: have nine they only have nine like eighth, eighth or ninth,

143
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: mostly on the national championship. But their quarterback will hit.

144
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: Mendoza is going to go first, right, He'll go number one?

145
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 6: Okay?

146
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 3: And do you think everybody?

147
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: Do you think if you're if you're a Kubiak, if

148
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: you're his new quarterbacks coach Andrew Juinoco, if you're a

149
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: Raiders fan, are you happy about that? Yes, you're just loving,

150
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: extremely happy about that. Wow, you did you dig Fernando

151
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: Mendoza that much?

152
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 3: I do? That's terrific.

153
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think that he's he's a giant cornball,

154
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: But I don't think that, you know, I don't think

155
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: that that's like a reason you don't draft a guy

156
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 2: like that number one overall. I mean, he seems to

157
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: have everything you're looking for. Like he's as corny as

158
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 2: he is and kind of cringey, like you like his

159
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 2: arm string.

160
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 3: He's really he's a really good player.

161
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he's a very he's just elusive and slythery

162
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: and arms I think, so, yeah, that's not super familiar.

163
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 2: Maybe, I mean, if I had to compare the two.

164
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 2: If I look at Darnold and when he was he's

165
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 2: in Seattle under Kubiak. Maybe not quite as live a

166
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 2: of an arm as that, but like I think you

167
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 2: can get the ball down the field.

168
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: Ben Laber Ben Leber beloved Ben Power Trip during the

169
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: week nine to noon on Thursdays, Bumper to Bumper generally

170
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: on Mondays and and also twins. He's live three to

171
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: four thirty Channel five each and every weekday. More football

172
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: to be chatted about with Ben. When we returned to KFA,

173
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: Labor loved Nacho watching any of the Olympic hockey.

174
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: I did not get a chance to. But it's any

175
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 2: of it period, not live right, not live. I will

176
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: be tuning in today though. What about curling? Jared Allen

177
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 2: Joins taped it earlier, about fifteen minutes from now, and

178
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: you know, the majority of the conversation was spent on

179
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 2: this I think it's called rock Club or something like that.

180
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 2: He TJ Hawkinson and George Kittle. Yeah, I pumped a

181
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 2: lot of cash into this rock league that's going to

182
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: debut in April, and man, I've chatted with her interview

183
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 2: Jared a zillion times. Your friends with him, and you

184
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: were in a locker room with him for X amount

185
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 2: of years, so you know Jared inside.

186
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 5: Now.

187
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: He gave some of the most thoughtful, long winded, deep

188
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: answers about his adoration and affection for curling. I couldn't

189
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: believe what I was hearing the way describe this thing

190
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: and the technical aspect and everything. Man, he is so

191
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: into that. But I mean with curling, yeah, I enjoy it.

192
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 3: I don't mind.

193
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: It's kind of background TV for me. Don't know about you.

194
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: It's on TV all the time all the time. Yeah,

195
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: so that means eyes must be on it in worldly fashion.

196
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: It's proven out like for meters and ratings and stuff

197
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: like that, right, because I mean it's on all the time.

198
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is on all the time.

199
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: I'm I'm kind of like you, and I know that

200
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 2: it seems like it's a little like blasphemous to say

201
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 2: this around these parts. I'm guessing it's one of those

202
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,359
Speaker 2: things where it's a lot more fun to play.

203
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 3: Than it is to watch, all right. And I don't

204
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 3: know about the sweeper spot though, man, and I know

205
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 3: the thing.

206
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 2: I know that there's it's way more challenging that than

207
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 2: I think A lot of people get it. Give it

208
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 2: credit for Like, I don't think that I can even

209
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 2: get in the position to throw the stone. I know

210
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 2: it's got to be way more tiring to do the

211
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 2: to do the sweeping and all that stuff. There's definitely

212
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 2: some skill involved, not saying that they're not skillful for sure,

213
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 2: but from a watching standpoint, yeah, give me the last

214
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 2: make it like the red zone. Give me the last

215
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 2: eight ends. Like there's ten ends, Like there's ten rounds

216
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 2: within the game. Give me the last seven, eight, nine, ten.

217
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 2: That's all I want to watch. It's kind of like

218
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 2: the NBA. I don't want to watch the first three

219
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 2: quarters because they don't really care. Yeah, there might be

220
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 2: some nice plays in there, but like, just give me

221
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. If I could watch the fourth quarter

222
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 2: of every NBA game and red Zone style, I would.

223
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 2: I would be in for that. I kind of put

224
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 2: Curly in the same situation that only when it's compelling

225
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 2: do I think it's great TV. Otherwise it's just kind

226
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 2: of nice to have on the background, and I don't

227
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 2: pay that much attention.

228
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: It is an art, and it's an art of that game,

229
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: and it's fascinating to watch. When you got the sweeper

230
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: or the sweepers zah, and they get that stone to

231
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: turn and to the perfect angle, you know, with the

232
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: friction on the ice obviously to knock out one or

233
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: two stones. And then you get the opposing team in

234
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: the game to come in and go to sweeping on

235
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: your stone to try to get it to go to

236
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: a bad place so that that part of it, you know,

237
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: to get that thing to turn. If I find to

238
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: be fascinating, what Winter Olympic sport would you love to

239
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: have a chance at? Like if you trained for two

240
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: years or whatever. I mean, you're a professional athlete, once

241
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: an athlete, always an athlete.

242
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 3: Like, of all these sports are games, where do you

243
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 3: think you'd have a chance.

244
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 2: Well, where I'd have a chance is none of them.

245
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 2: But where I think my interest lies to sports? Speed skating.

246
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 3: Oh, I think I think it's a I mean, you

247
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 3: would just do it for the outfit.

248
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 2: I was the super cheesy, dorky kid a roller rink

249
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 2: that was just fly in past kids, you know, trying

250
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 2: to be a show off, you know, trying to go

251
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 2: just go music Blair.

252
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

253
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 2: The thing is I never try to go backwards because

254
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 2: that's just that's just ridiculous. You can't go fast backwards,

255
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 2: so he might look cool and go backwards, which you

256
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 2: can't go fast. So I was trying to go fast.

257
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 2: I was trying to like lean into the corners, and

258
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 2: like you don't really get after it the aggressive bob

259
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 2: sled bimines. So so the other one might surprise you.

260
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 2: I find the slalom scheme, I think that'd be super

261
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 2: fun because where you go left and right right, it's

262
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: like you have the downhill aspect of it, like there's

263
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 2: there's a decent amount of speed just to keep it interesting.

264
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 2: I think the technical part because I do, I mean

265
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 2: I do love like auto racing and all that stuff too.

266
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 2: Like I think understanding the lines to take to make

267
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 2: those corners so crisp and fast against the against the poles,

268
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 2: against the gates, I think that would be like mentally

269
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 2: stimulating to me. So I think those two sports would

270
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 2: be really fun if I could dive into them.

271
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 4: Would that be Would that be what you would say,

272
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 4: just as a porn former athlete, like is that the event?

273
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 4: Then you'd say, like the athleticism of that, that's something

274
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 4: that uber impresses you.

275
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 3: Ye, yes, more so on the speed skating.

276
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 2: I don't know if I I think that the skillfulness

277
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 2: of the slalomn skiers is like maybe I wouldn't put

278
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 2: it like in the pure athlete standpoint, but I think

279
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 2: just the way they can do it and see it,

280
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 2: the reaction time and their body mechanics and all that stuff,

281
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 2: it's it is to me, it's like there's a poetry

282
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 2: to it, like there's an art.

283
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 3: There's an art to it when they're doing it.

284
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 2: Now, you could probably say the same thing about moguls,

285
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 2: but boy, I mean my knees would explode on the

286
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 2: first mogul and so and I wouldn't even want to

287
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 2: get my body conditioned to get into that environment. So

288
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 2: I guess pa, the answer is, you know, slingshot it

289
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 2: back to you.

290
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 3: What would you do? Probably curling, and I'd be the

291
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 3: one at the.

292
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 2: Like, okay, so let's let's just say that physically all

293
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 2: of us come on. Physically, all of us can handle

294
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 2: whatever whatever you need to do. Like, what do you

295
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 2: think is would it be the the big jumping?

296
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, the ski jump, But I would like to do

297
00:13:58,320 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 3: you want to fly?

298
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be that'd be so I could be the

299
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: new version of what used to be ABC's Wide World

300
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: of Sports with Chris Shenkel, where they had your guy.

301
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: It was the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.

302
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: It was always a ski jumper from back in the

303
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 1: day at the Olympics who just.

304
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 3: Toppled and just got crushed.

305
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'd probably be the agony of defeat, but

306
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: I'd like to give it a dry No, I might.

307
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 2: Have to rethink that if I was going to rank

308
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 2: the top three, that would be my top three, because

309
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 2: I mean, who doesn't want to fly?

310
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 6: Yeah?

311
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.

312
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: Every boy's little dream was like I want to learn

313
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: how you would you? I mean you would skydive? Or

314
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: have you had?

315
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 3: I've got, oh how far ten?

316
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 2: We were at twelve thousand and we had it was

317
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 2: it's when we were up in Duluth at the air

318
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 2: show and we had the wildfires from Canada kind of

319
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 2: come through, and so like we are at twelve thousand

320
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 2: feet that was where we're going to jump at and

321
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 2: then lost you in the smoke and they said the

322
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 2: smoke was just too much. We they want a better clearance,

323
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 2: So we went down to ten.

324
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 3: So it was it was t in feeder that still counts.

325
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 3: We're not, No, I know how fast? I mean, what's

326
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 3: it feel like?

327
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 2: We are in the back of a sea? What is

328
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 2: a one thirty? No, that's a gun ship. What's the

329
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 2: Somebody in the military is going to correct. No, no, no,

330
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 2: it was a military It was a military plane with it.

331
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 2: It was a cargo plane. When the back end drops down.

332
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 4: With all the cargo on the a ups plane, that

333
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 4: might that might be a C one thirty one thirty

334
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 4: the gun ships.

335
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: No, I don't know. Well, I'm about to find out.

336
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: Do you think it's arrogant or dumbed? Ask this question

337
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: and be straight with me.

338
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, one thirty is a four engine turboprop military transport.

339
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 2: Okay, we jumped out of Yeah, and I'll say this

340
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 2: one of the coolest, one of the best experiences I

341
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 2: have ever had in my life.

342
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 3: I will probably never do it again.

343
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 2: I don't I don't have the desire to be a skydiver. Yeah,

344
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 2: I've done it once. I felt the adrenaline rush. I

345
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 2: nearly pooped my pants. Yeah for real, I mean really,

346
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 2: I mean it's like the fear that you have, at

347
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 2: least on the ground total when that back end, when

348
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 2: that ramp drops down and you're standing on the edge

349
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 2: of this ramp. Yeah, and and you're just like looking out.

350
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 2: You got to go over right there, I mean, get

351
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 2: out of here, all right. One more football bit for me.

352
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: Uh. Leslie Frasier is joining uh the the Combine shows

353
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: Tuesday and Wednesday. He's going to join nine to noon

354
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: Tuesday from Indianapolis, Super Bowl champion assistant head coach with

355
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: the champion Seahawks. It's his third Super Bowl victory, second

356
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: as a coach. What was it like for you playing

357
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: four years? For Leslie?

358
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 3: It was great.

359
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 2: I would just say that, boy, he's created quite the

360
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 2: quite the stir. He had the one comment that I

361
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 2: think is going to reverberate all the way through the draft.

362
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 3: Leslie did yeah, damn, what is it?

363
00:16:58,960 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 5: Well?

364
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 2: He was he was being asked during the Super Bowl

365
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 2: just about Nick Emunwori, and he was just saying, like, look,

366
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 2: the modern NFL is a positionless deal, and we look

367
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 2: at these players not as specific positions, but like what

368
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 2: they can do for us in the versatility that they

369
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 2: can bring. And so I've heard over and over again

370
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 2: that specific quote being used by a lot of draft

371
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 2: analysts already saying if Leslie Frasier's correct, and this is

372
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 2: how a lot of teams are looking at these players

373
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 2: in the modern NFL. Then you have to start putting

374
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 2: slashes on some of these guys. This guy might be

375
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 2: a corner in the draft. Can he move to safety?

376
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 2: He might be a safety. Can he play linebacker? This

377
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 2: guy is a light linebacker. Can he play a little

378
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 2: bit of hybrid safety. You know, we're already starting to

379
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 2: see with defensive ends, like you know, you might find

380
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 2: a really good edge rusher, a bigger body ed rusher.

381
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 2: Can he be a five technique? Can be a three

382
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 2: technique in a passing situation? So it's like he's just

383
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 2: saying maybe the thing that we've all kind of known,

384
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 2: but the fact that there really are put he did

385
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 2: in a practice when it comes to evaluating these players.

386
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 2: And that's where him and worry came in about, because

387
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 2: you know, he he had first first ground, first round

388
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 2: talent as far as his measurables go, like his combine

389
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 2: numbers were out of this world, and but he didn't

390
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 2: get taken where I think a lot of people thought

391
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 2: he was going to get taken. So you know, there's

392
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 2: there's just that value and where do you put some

393
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 2: of these athletes and where you put some of these guys,

394
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 2: and and you know, even like b Flow, you know,

395
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 2: has kind of a hybrid safety system. It's kind of

396
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 2: a different way to look at some of these draft picks.

397
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 2: All that being said, Fraser was great. I mean, honestly,

398
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 2: everything that you ever hear from anybody talk about him

399
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 2: from just a man perspective, he's He's how you want

400
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 2: a lot of coaches to approach coaching that I'm going

401
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 2: to coach you hard. We have good expectations and high

402
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 2: expectations for you. But at the same time, my door

403
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 2: is always open, yeah, you know, and then when you and.

404
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 3: When his door is open.

405
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 2: Because I went into talk to him multiple times about

406
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 2: the number of repsyles, getting how I was getting utilized,

407
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 2: you know, I had some I had some discrepancies in

408
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 2: what I thought I was how I was being used,

409
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 2: and you know, quite frankly, I wasn't happy with some

410
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 2: of the things that they were doing with me and

411
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 2: not doing with me. So you know, I went to

412
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 2: his office twice that season and had some real like

413
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 2: sit down, man to man conversations with him, and.

414
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 1: It worked well well well, I mean it was a

415
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: good back and forth.

416
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 3: I would say it. It didn't. You know, I didn't

417
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 3: end up getting what I didn't get hit up getting

418
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:27,959
Speaker 3: what I wanted.

419
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: But but I think I Flo was a tough beat.

420
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 3: Give him some credit. No, he's the guy, if ko.

421
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 2: But the fact that I could sit across from him

422
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 2: and actually have a dialogue with him, that wasn't just

423
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 2: like I'm a coach, I'm on my pulpit, I'm looking

424
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 2: down at you as as just a a minion player.

425
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 2: You guys got to do what you're told. Like, we

426
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 2: had a good conversation. It was a good dialogue, you know,

427
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 2: and I understand that not every decision was his, but

428
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 2: you know, in a modern sense, and I hate using

429
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 2: the term, but I did feel hurt.

430
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 3: You know.

431
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 2: I felt like, all right, I got that off my chest.

432
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 2: I felt like you listened. I felt like you understand

433
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 2: where I'm coming from. And that's all we could ever ask.

434
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: Well, that's like fifteen seventeen years ago. Would you still

435
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: be hurt by it now?

436
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 3: Hurt by it? Yeah? You know what I'm saying.

437
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you matured as a man, as a player

438
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 1: and things like that.

439
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 3: No, if I was going through the same thing.

440
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 2: Now I would have the same I'd be as pissed

441
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,240

00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 5: a yellow jacket? They're colub to be you'd be fashion.

470
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: Advice and right, hey, what with the yellow jacket? After

471
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: you get it, you wear it? You speak what what

472
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 1: do you do with the yellow jacket?

473
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 6: Uh?

474
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, I like what you call it yellow because it

475
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 5: is more yellow than gold, I think, right, But it is.

476
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 5: It's sitting in my closet. It's there for the next

477
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 5: time I get to wear it somewhere. I know some

478
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 5: guys wear it like all the time, and it's not

479
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 5: because they're trying to show off that they're in the

480
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 5: Hall of Fame. It's because it becomes simply you only

481
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 5: need one dress coat, like you need one sport coat now.

482
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 5: Actually seventh y, it's you're like, I like one sport coat.

483
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 5: I only know in one sport coat now because anybody

484
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 5: anywhere I go, I want me to wear this. So

485
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 5: now it's just in my closet. Hey, who's hanging there?

486
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 1: And and you know what, man, it actually is the

487
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 1: gold jacket, but it's I I hit you with the

488
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: ironious yellow because actually it's a hower of a mustard color.

489
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 3: So I mean, but it's cool.

490
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 5: That.

491
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right now, Jared TJ.

492
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: Hockinson and George Kettle and others are investors in the

493
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: Rock League.

494
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 3: What's the Rock League and what's going.

495
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: On in April when set League debuts.

496
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 5: Well, that's it's our professional curling league. You know what

497
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 5: it's it's one of the kind I mean, it's never

498
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 5: been done before, right, you know, we're taking basically the

499
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 5: top curlers in the world, and for the first time

500
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 5: they're not going to actually just curl with their countrymen,

501
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 5: you know. So we will have some of the top

502
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 5: Europeans and Adian teams together and you know North American

503
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 5: teams from Canada, US all sorts of stuff kind of

504
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 5: missed up in Europe and so were our initial launch

505
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 5: is kind of is short. Right, We'll be able to

506
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 5: kind of have like a one big, you know, weekend

507
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 5: long league spiel to launch in April twenty twenty six

508
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 5: just to kind of get everybody that an appetite for it. Yeah,

509
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 5: and then twenty twenty seven will have more events, will

510
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 5: they'll be more you know, more locations and stuff like that.

511
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 5: But yeah, the goal is to build out a professional

512
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 5: basically explaining weight for curling that won't it don't won't

513
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 5: affect anybody. The tribles curling, right, is trying to create

514
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 5: continue the buzz that comes off of the Olympics. Curling

515
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 5: is one of the most watch sports that win Olympics

516
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 5: and captaining that buzz and bringing it back and and

517
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 5: creating content and viewership and bringing these insane athletes and

518
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 5: what they're doing into the forefront, right and and may

519
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 5: it bringing it mainstream. Now that the triggery part with that,

520
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 5: the caveat is you also have to be able to

521
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 5: do that without messing up you know kind of the

522
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 5: world the World Tours and stuff like that, where people

523
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 5: are getting points geared towards the Olympics or geared towards

524
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 5: their briers or geared towards their nationals. So you know,

525
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 5: that's kind of where curling gets you know, stifled because

526
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 5: it becomes very regional because of those those massive events

527
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 5: or or those name those national events for the nations

528
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 5: that you represent. So what we're trying to do is

529
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 5: we're trying to blend that. We're trying to create the

530
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 5: splaying league that can be a professional league. Uh, you know,

531
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 5: really bring us to the audience, Really make an event

532
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 5: specific type deal where we want fans to come where

533
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 5: the viewership on TV is just as good as the viewership.

534
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 5: You know from the arena. When you're there, you think

535
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 5: about you know, Phoenix Open, right, or the Waste Management

536
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 5: Open they call it now right, not as crazy now

537
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 5: maybe ten years ago, but that fan experience where it

538
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 5: took golf. It opened golf up to everybody, not just

539
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 5: the just the people that love golf. People were there

540
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 5: just to hang out, enjoy it to the fund that

541
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 5: you created an atmosphere around it. And that's what we're

542
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 5: really trying to do. And you know, our same group

543
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 5: we own the Grand Slams of curling, which are like

544
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 5: the Majors of fight and the Four Majors of golf, right,

545
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 5: we have five major benches to be the top five

546
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 5: fifteen in the world to be invited to it and

547
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 5: we've we've been running those for the last couple of

548
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 5: years and had great success. And now we're excited to

549
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 5: bring Rock League, and I mean and then and now

550
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 5: we'll be able to expand on the game of curling.

551
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 5: Right Obviously we want to keep the traditional for the traditionalists,

552
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 5: but we want to modernize the game. You want to

553
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 5: create different, you know, different games with it. You know,

554
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 5: maybe it's a maybe it's a mixed spores, maybe it's

555
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 5: some men's pairs, maybe you know, women men's and women's points.

556
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 5: You know, games are gonna matter to the team concept.

557
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 5: We're creating teams a rapping the general managers. So it's

558
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 5: a really cool deal. And we're able to push the

559
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 5: boundaries and bring great content, you know, to all of

560
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 5: our media partners and and all that stuff. And guys

561
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 5: like George and TJ. You know, they curl out here

562
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 5: on a Monday league in Nashville, right, you know what

563
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 5: I mean, George right now being injured. They love curling

564
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 5: and so when we came to them a person with it,

565
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 5: they were all in. And you get you get athletes

566
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 5: and people that are visible, you know, bringing the spotlight

567
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 5: to what these men and women are doing. Because it's incredible.

568
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 5: I mean, you're talking about throwing like a forty two

569
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 5: pound rock down one hundred and forty four feet of ice. Yeah,

570
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 5: and trying to make shots that you know, if you

571
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 5: missed by a centimeter can totally change out to the

572
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 5: coast game. So you know, it's the next gym. Stats,

573
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 5: as the NFL would put it, are kind of thing.

574
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: Jared Allen to noon, we're talking curling a little football

575
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: at the end, so correct me if I'm wrong here,

576
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: but that you know, with all the curling we're watching now,

577
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: and it's on all hours of the day, which means

578
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: there clearly are a lot of people around the world

579
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: watching the replays of what will take place, say here

580
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,479
Speaker 1: in the morning in the Central time zone or whatever.

581
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 3: It's on all the time.

582
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,719
Speaker 1: What was there a time that you watched curling and

583
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 1: you're like, I love this, I want to do this,

584
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: but this game the sport needs some energy and it

585
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 1: needs some hype, and that's what you guys are doing.

586
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 5: I under saying, I think you know I've always even

587
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 5: before I got into curly, curly was the sport I

588
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 5: watched her the Winter Olympics, right, and it looks so easy.

589
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 5: I think curling is great because there's really any level

590
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 5: a person can play it, right. You can you can

591
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 5: go to a learn of curl and and you know,

592
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 5: be on the ice with this friends and people teach

593
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 5: you how to do it, and there's set up that,

594
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 5: you know, even at the most novice level, you can

595
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 5: have a last curling right, and then as you really

596
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 5: get better, you can advance the game and the stuff. Yeah,

597
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 5: so that's why curling appeals to passive and it looks

598
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 5: simple until you get on the ice, right. And so

599
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 5: I used to always watch it and I think it

600
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 5: shows so well on TV, and obviously the Olympic crowds

601
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 5: are great and there's this hype around it. And then

602
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 5: when I started curling, exactly what you said, ghetto these

603
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 5: you know studios, You get to the tournament, you get

604
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 5: and it's just a local gloves. There's just a small

605
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 5: portion of people there. You know, the curling world is

606
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 5: actually very small, especially in the US. And then I've

607
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 5: been fortunate enough to play overseas and those are bigger, right,

608
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 5: there's more energy there. But you're right, and that's kind

609
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 5: of what the concept was, is like, man, this is

610
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 5: such a great game we've got to bring into people's attention.

611
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 5: We've got to bring some hype around it. We've got

612
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 5: to you know, a it starts with education because but

613
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 5: you know what you're watching, it's more fun to watch,

614
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 5: right Yeah. And you know curling is one of these

615
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 5: sports which relucted. It shows better on TV it is

616
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 5: person because you have announcers. Right, So now, how do

617
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 5: we could we make these in person stadium experience better

618
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 5: And by doing that you can shrink you know, art

619
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 5: going we shrinked the sheets, right, I can't. It's hard

620
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 5: to watch eight teams playing at once if I don't

621
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 5: know what's going on, right, So you drink that you

622
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 5: got one or two guy here dames going on one.

623
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 5: So those are the challenges we're taken up and how

624
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 5: to bring that bring that experience to the fans who

625
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 5: a novice fan can come and enjoy the atmosphere because

626
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 5: it is like we had the Grand Slam of Tahoe

627
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 5: in November and then the atmosphere was fantastic. And you

628
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 5: see these bigger events and up and you know, like

629
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 5: up in Canada and stuff like that, but lot five, six, seven,

630
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 5: eight thousand people show up these things, right, yeah, so

631
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 5: that that's the challenge. But you're right. And when I

632
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 5: first got into it, it was like, man, this game

633
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 5: is so much fun, the people are so great. We

634
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 5: got it, somebody. We got to expose this to the masses.

635
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 5: And that's the challenge we're taking up.

636
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: The tasker Curling Club up here has been big, I

637
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: mean very big for these Americans. So so do you

638
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: sense curling has a chance to capture the imagination of

639
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: the nation off what is being generated in in the Olympics.

640
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 5: So there's it should when it hasn't, right, I mean,

641
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 5: we had we had to arguably one of the greatest

642
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 5: comeback stories. I mean it was like miracle on Ions too, right,

643
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 5: when John Schuster and those guys rallied back to went

644
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 5: Bold after being almost eliminated in the in pool play

645
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 5: and that and that isn't right. And so to be honest,

646
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 5: I mean that that falls on USA Curling and and

647
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 5: it falls on you know, whoever was the control of

648
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 5: the curling you know ops at that time they didn't.

649
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 5: They didn't they didn't find a way to harness that

650
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 5: right and expand upon it. And it can be tough

651
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 5: because you know, obviously everybody's teared up for the Olympics,

652
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 5: then when you come back you can kind of have

653
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 5: a lull. Uh. That's that's the challenge were taken up.

654
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 5: So that's that's where we realized, like there is a

655
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 5: space for this, like the world, there's a space for it.

656
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 5: Like you said, now we have to capture So yes,

657
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 5: do I think it's possible, one hundred percent. And that's

658
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 5: why we're taking the steps we're taking. That's why we've started,

659
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 5: you know, creating this content around the best colors in

660
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 5: the world via the Slams. That's why we're we're not

661
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 5: we're slow. We're slow rolling the league. We're you know,

662
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 5: the legal start off in April. We'll have basically a

663
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 5: one week time of deal uh you know where where

664
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 5: we play this league out and and conception and let

665
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 5: the fans see it, and then we'll slowly expand upon it,

666
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 5: right because sometimes you can just shump right in and

667
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 5: people still I don't know what I'm doing, So we're

668
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 5: really trying to capture it. It's unfortunate. I do think

669
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 5: it can you know, take over the nation. I do

670
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 5: think more and more people once they start seeing it

671
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 5: playing it real joy I see it out here in Nashville,

672
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 5: Mark Bolger started a curl club called Tea Line out here,

673
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 5: and there's more learn the curl corporate events. I mean

674
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 5: that's just NonStop. People love it right, So yes, I

675
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 5: think it's there. The challenge is, you know, having the

676
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 5: right people in place that understand how to capture an audience.

677
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 5: And I believe you have the right team for that.

678
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 5: You know, it's unfortunate that it didn't happen back when

679
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 5: you had the great argument, one of the greatest comeback

680
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 5: stories ever with Schuster in them. It didn't get done.

681
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 5: So you know, hopefully we can step in and fill

682
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 5: that role. But it is going to take you know,

683
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 5: it's going to take you know, the Canadian curling federations,

684
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 5: the United States curly Federations, you know, all these these

685
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 5: world federations to realize, hey, we've got to bring in

686
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 5: outside people to help elevate this sport.

687
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 2: Right.

688
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 5: We can't keep it local, We can't keep it to

689
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 5: our little old nation. Yeah, and just think, no, patriotism's

690
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 5: going to drive the sport. It's not going to do it.

691
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 5: At the end of the day, athletes need to get paid,

692
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 5: sponsors want their logos and you know, their products viewed

693
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 5: and that's the game we play, right and so that

694
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 5: that's kind of where we're trying to get to. But yeah,

695
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 5: I think it has I think it has legs, and

696
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 5: I think it can run a long time. Yeah.

697
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: This Jared Allen's talking about the Rock League, which he

698
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: t J Hawkins and George Kittle and others are unfurling

699
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: and unveiling in April, so you can you can figure

700
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: out more about that online. But it's called the Rock

701
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: Clague and it sounds cool. Now, let me ask you this,

702
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: what's more exciting to you those days you sacked Aaron

703
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: Rodgers or when you sweep your way to a curling stone,

704
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: knocking two opponent stones out of the circle in one

705
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: fell swooped.

706
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 5: Nothing will ever beat the feeling of hitting a quarterback

707
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 5: in his spine in front of eighty thousand people. That's

708
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 5: just a good old fashioned fun. But it is I mean,

709
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 5: as a competitor, that is something when you're when you're

710
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 5: head down and you are sweeping on the rock hog

711
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 5: line of hog line, and you're you know, you make

712
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 5: an insane shot running hit and double and you're trying

713
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 5: not to fall in your face or shatter your broom

714
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 5: like you know, like I did round on Fallow. It's

715
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 5: pretty sound like a life get satisfying on a different way.

716
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 5: It's satisfying because your team and the other people, you know,

717
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 5: your opponent knows the effort that you put in there. Yeah,

718
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 5: no one else, no one else to watch it, realizing

719
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 5: what you know, what you got, great effort you put

720
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 5: into what do you sack a quarterback? The whole stadium

721
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 5: knows what that's going on? Right, So they are they are.

722
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 5: I wouldn't say they are equally satisfied by any means.

723
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 5: Clearly smashing quarterbacks a little more fun, but there is

724
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 5: there that's of a job well done. You sweet your

725
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 5: face off it is. It's like, yeah, buddy, don't get it.

726
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 3: How how how elite are your sweeping skills?

727
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 5: Honestly, I'm average. These top guys are are insane. Like

728
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 5: I get the job and I put a lot of

729
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 5: weight on the room. Just get my sheer size of

730
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 5: the pass. And you know, I work, brother, playing consistently.

731
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 5: I was working really hard. My technique to over me

732
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 5: is trying to get a room that fits me. And

733
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 5: now they're now they're getting more and more because you know,

734
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 5: shoopers are getting taller and bigger, but you know there's

735
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 5: there's some guys. So I'll say I'm average that the

736
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 5: top you know, the top five for ten percent guys

737
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 5: out there, they're doing some crazy things those.

738
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 3: Rocks, isn't it.

739
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: Isn't it just amazing when the perfectly timed friction from

740
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 1: the sweeper or sweepers gets the stone to take turns

741
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: and ruin the dreams of others.

742
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 3: I mean, that's such an artist.

743
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 5: It really is. And a lot of you know, what

744
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 5: is the debate and whether you're polishing the eyes of

745
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 5: scratching the eyes. I don't think there is a deband

746
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 5: I think you are scratching with these top guys for sure,

747
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,720
Speaker 5: because you know, back when the broom heads were different,

748
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 5: I mean, these guys could make that rock moved like

749
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 5: a stake. You know, they could, they could back it up,

750
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 5: they could do whatever. But now these top I mean,

751
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 5: these top sweepers, you can carry a rock probably an

752
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 5: extra eight ten feet in some instances. You know they're

753
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 5: going to hold the line straight, and so now you

754
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 5: give your your shooters not more confidence, but yeah, I

755
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 5: mean that's the cool part about curling one shot change everything.

756
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,720
Speaker 5: You can have an insane and that up at one shot.

757
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 5: You saw it in the The Americans versu. The Great

758
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 5: Britains last night, right, and I don't know if there's

759
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,320
Speaker 5: a replay or not, but the women period, the American

760
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 5: women are up. I think they were up one with

761
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 5: a hammer in the tenth and the on the on

762
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,479
Speaker 5: the on the Great Britain skiffs last stone. She makes

763
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 5: this insane in off off a corner guard takes out

764
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 5: shot rock of American to lie two and buried. And

765
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 5: then the Americans only had a run back in to

766
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 5: try to knock one out. You either to h either

767
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 5: hopefully to win, to take water or just limit the

768
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 5: steel at one and they go to the shrin and

769
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,959
Speaker 5: they wreck on the guard and here you go. Great

770
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 5: Britain ends up stealing two in the tenth to win

771
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 5: the game. It was it was not and one shot

772
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 5: and the Mary you had, the married women were in

773
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 5: control of the whole match, and she made him say shot.

774
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,359
Speaker 5: So yeah, that's that's what's cool about that that game

775
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 5: can switch on a dime by one shot. And I think,

776
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 5: you know, it shows the dramatics of what Curly could

777
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,879
Speaker 5: be because there's always an angle to make a shot.

778
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 5: That's just kind of cool.

779
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

780
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 1: I I have minimal idea of what you just said,

781
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: but your level of excitement of the way you laid

782
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 1: that out with the vernacular and the and the technical

783
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 1: terms of curling, that was beautiful. A couple of clothes

784
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 1: here for Jared Allen. Uh have you ever think you

785
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: could make Team USA and curling the Olympics?

786
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 5: I do. I do think so. It's uh, it's a

787
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 5: you know, two of two of the uh you know

788
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 5: guys on the open team right now are two while

789
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 5: old teammates the elite Aid and Oldenberg played with US

790
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 5: a couple of years ago, rich Horn and the alternate

791
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,399
Speaker 5: with played with the comple years ago. I do think

792
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 5: I could. Obviously, you got to have the right team, right,

793
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 5: because that's a cool thing about curling, or it's not selected, right,

794
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 5: you got your team's got to win that spot.

795
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 6: Uh.

796
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 5: The only you know, USA Curling reserves the right to

797
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:55,800
Speaker 5: choose the alternate and that situations. But yeah, I definitely

798
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 5: think I can. Uh wow, I can play the rest

799
00:37:58,600 --> 00:37:58,879
Speaker 5: of them.

800
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fantastic, all right. A couple of football A

801
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 3: couple of local football.

802
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: Questions before we leave Kevin Williams all right, big ticket

803
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: Now he has a shot at the Hall of Fame

804
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: in NFL. Locker rooms are such cultural melting pots. Man.

805
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: Did you ever think a gangly kid from northern California

806
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: would become best friends with a man from backwoods Arkansas?

807
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 6: Ok?

808
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, that's my guy, you know, Keith Bull guy

809
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 5: we're talking about the other day too.

810
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 3: Man.

811
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,720
Speaker 5: I was like, that's what's drives me nuts when people

812
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 5: put politics into our sports. My sports is the greatest

813
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 5: melting pot. One of the house society snack. You have

814
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 5: fifty three or sixty some alpha males in a room,

815
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 5: I mean you get along. You get along based on

816
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 5: like just your core morality, right, because they're going to

817
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 5: make fun of each other for everything. Nothing is off limits,

818
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,839
Speaker 5: right And the rest of the world wouldn't understand that.

819
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 5: But what it does, it creates bonds to cross Bow

820
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 5: that you never thought what it would would create because

821
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 5: you realize that your core you have more things in common,

822
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 5: like I you know, I grew up poor on a

823
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 5: horse ranch, right, Kevin, Like you said, Kevin's from you know,

824
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 5: deep south Arkansas. But you know we come together based

825
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 5: off the respect of our our craft, right, which is football. Uh,

826
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,240
Speaker 5: the mutual respect of how we treat our wives, our faith,

827
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 5: our you know, being of fathers and stuff like that.

828
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 5: So yeah, that's I love sports for that for that reason,

829
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 5: mass sports. Sports brings people to gamble on on such

830
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 5: an art together, on such like the deep core minute

831
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 5: level that all the bs to strip the side. So

832
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 5: uh and you know, to be saying you keep doing

833
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 5: We're talking about that because I'm like, here is a

834
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 5: kid that you know, kind of grew up hardcore in

835
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 5: in in this in New York City, right and I

836
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 5: grew up on a horse ranch in freaking California. We

837
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 5: have no business because good prisons we are, but here

838
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 5: we are. So yeah, Kevin william he's one of my

839
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 5: favorite people.

840
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 3: Yeah.

841
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 5: And and that's and that's the beautia of sports, right.

842
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 5: And uh, I'm so happy for him. I was so

843
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,320
Speaker 5: in side that he made it to the uh to

844
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 5: the finals for the for the Hall of Fame this

845
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,439
Speaker 5: year after not even being you know, not getting there

846
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 5: and and you know, to see that that finally he

847
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 5: gets the recognition there. And I hope he gets hitting

848
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 5: next year because that man is deserving. I mean, you're

849
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,479
Speaker 5: a five time All Pro. I mean that that right there,

850
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 5: it speaks for herself. I plead now he is the

851
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 5: only five time All Pro not in the Hall of Fame, damn,

852
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 5: because who keep the gout in this year? And so

853
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 5: you know Kevin, you know he again, if there's someone

854
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 5: that I even throw myself in this equation, like if

855
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 5: there's someone that you know, people should model there themselves.

856
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 5: After he came after him, that dude didn't say much.

857
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 5: He's funny as heck. He was a quiet leader. But

858
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 5: Kevin showed up every day, worked his butt off, and

859
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 5: he made it look easy. That's that's one of the

860
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 5: reasons I respect him so much. Right he made his

861
00:40:54,000 --> 00:41:00,280
Speaker 5: job look so easy and it wasn't let me. That's

862
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 5: an assessment how good he is.

863
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: Lastly, the acting general manager here somebody you know quite well,

864
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: Rob Razinski.

865
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:09,760
Speaker 3: I got no idea what's.

866
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: Going to happen after the draft. Yeah, but I mean,

867
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 1: you can't do better as a person and a smart

868
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,839
Speaker 1: football guy than Brazinski.

869
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 5: Right, Like I I like crazy. I was shocked when

870
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 5: I saw that that change coming. I have I have

871
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 5: no clue what led to it or anything like that.

872
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 5: I liked I liked the dynamic that they have it there.

873
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 5: I thought we were head in the right direction clearly

874
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 5: last year with a hiccup. But I was speaking just

875
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 5: to Rob the shouldn't You don't even need a search. Yes,

876
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 5: Rob the guy. Rob is the guy Robins has been

877
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 5: there forever. Robin's instrumental in getting me there. I think

878
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 5: you can ask anybody. You can ask George Payton, who's

879
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,919
Speaker 5: now the GM over in JNI. You could ask Great

880
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 5: I mean, you can ask anybody. Rob has been a

881
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 5: star wars for the organization forever. And the reason I

882
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 5: love that is because he understands the history of our organization.

883
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 5: He understands our past success of our past failures, and

884
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 5: he clearly understands and sees how to a simple staff.

885
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 5: Because I do, I do think we have one of

886
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 5: the greatest coaching staffs and in the UH, in the league, UH,

887
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 5: you know, with with our with our coordinators and head coach.

888
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 5: So I firmly believe he's the guy. UH. He knows

889
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 5: the numbers inside and out. And you know what, again,

890
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 5: like you said, there's no no better person.

891
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 2: H O F.

892
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: Jared Allen talking about curling and Olympic curling and much more.

893
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,919
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Olympics, let's go over to Milan. Here's

894
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: Pete Fox Parker Fox for a final time this week.

895
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: Hey a Parker, thanks for making time. I know you're busy.

896
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:51,280
Speaker 1: H Taylor in the USA women play for the gold

897
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,879
Speaker 1: in an hour and change what's on your mind right now?

898
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 6: Brother, there's a lot flowing right now to a first

899
00:42:58,040 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 6: of all, good to hear from you. I hope all

900
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 6: as well. Side things are good here man, we are

901
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 6: a little bit of a delay. The bronze game went

902
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 6: to overtimes, Switzerland played I think Sweden. Switzerland ended up

903
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 6: winning overtime. So we are in a little bit of

904
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 6: a delay waiting in line right now, about four or

905
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 6: five football fields long, about thirty five people wide, trying

906
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 6: to get to the stadium. People are kind of packed

907
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 6: in here like sardines. So a lot of emotions flowing.

908
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 6: But excited, man, just excited to watch her and her

909
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:29,760
Speaker 6: team at the pinnacle of the sport.

910
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 1: What do you think they're four and a half to

911
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,720
Speaker 1: one favorites. They you know, they last won the gold

912
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen. I know Canada has pooland the captain back.

913
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: I don't know how much of a difference it's going

914
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: to make. What do you think about the game.

915
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:44,839
Speaker 6: I think it's just going to be one of your

916
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 6: old fashioned, just classics.

917
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 5: Man.

918
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 6: I think this is going to be an excellent hockey game.

919
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 6: I hope people back in the States are fired up

920
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 6: as much as we are here in Milan for this one.

921
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 6: You know, you beat them five zero in the prelims,

922
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 6: and you're feeling good about yourself. But this is a

923
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 6: team that's you both had each other's number, right, You've

924
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 6: both been kind of going back and forth with with

00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 6: the world playing here in a couple hours, and and

930
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 6: that's what excites me the most. But I think this

931
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,879
Speaker 6: team is poised. I think they're ready to rock and roll.

932
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 6: I think the youth is going to come into play here,

933
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 6: especially for the Americans they got I think six college

934
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,879
Speaker 6: girls on the roster. Canada has none. So I think

935
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 6: you've got to, you know, trust that youth, rely on

936
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 6: that youth. And and hopefully those young legs are ready

937
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 6: to rock and roll early in this one.

938
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 1: Your your fiance Taylor Heising with the last chat you

939
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 1: had with her before the gold medal game. What kind

940
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 1: of a mental frame of mind is she and and

941
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: and how does she feel?

942
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, and you've gotten to know her pretty well,

943
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 6: you know, over the past couple of years here pa,

944
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 6: and you know the competitor that she is. I think

945
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 6: she's just over everything, excited, you know, just just blessed

946
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 6: to have the opportunity to go out there and to

947
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 6: do this and to be one of the best women

948
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 6: talking players in the world. And you know, the only

949
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 6: thing I told her, I said that heyes, in the barn, right,

950
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 6: You've already done the work. You've already prepped yourself, the

951
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 6: countless hours you spent, you know, on your craft. You've

952
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,280
Speaker 6: already done that kind of stuff. So now's the opportunity

953
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 6: where you get to go out and you get to

954
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 6: shine and you get to put it on display. So

955
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 6: I think, you know, that's kind of her mindset as

956
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 6: well going into this thing, is Hey, I've done the work. Hey,

958
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 6: now's the opportunity where this is, you know, the biggest

959
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 6: game I've ever played in in front of the most

960

976
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 1: Parker said, the bronze medal game went to overtime, so
