Speaker 1: good names lined up.
Speaker 7: Please tell God go for it.
Speaker 1: Stephen John Lambert Bricker.
Speaker 3: That's just the first name you've thought of this.
Speaker 1: Mister Bricker was our shop class. I've talked about him before.
Speaker 1: And mister Bricker my senior year, I had to take
Speaker 1: shop class, which everybody else in class was a freshman.
Speaker 1: I was the only so. He had just been through
Speaker 1: the worst divorce this side of the Coyote Mountains, right.
Speaker 1: He would go out and during class he'd get the
Speaker 1: kids started. He and I would go out back and
Speaker 1: he would just talk to me and smoke cigarettes. The
Speaker 1: freshmen were in class making something out of metal, and
Speaker 1: he and I were out back behind the shop class.
Speaker 1: He's just pounding line darts, telling me about his woes.
Speaker 4: We don't remember that one teachers. Next time Zach does that, read,
Speaker 4: just shout out to mister Brooker for his cigarettes and
Speaker 4: his conversations.
Speaker 1: Mister Bricker, no chance, he's still alive.
Speaker 7: How sad it was when you would stay home, it'd
Speaker 7: be so sad.
Speaker 1: You're the only guy I can talk to long.
Speaker 3: Darts in front of.
Speaker 4: If we can rewind about three minutes, Zach said, Cechia?
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, when did when did Czech Republic stop being
Speaker 2: a thing? When the Iron curtain fell? That when they
Speaker 2: changed the name. That was when it was from Czechoslovakia
Speaker 2: to Czech Republic.
Speaker 4: So when did when did the Czech Republic turn into Czechia?
Speaker 3: Czech? Yeah?
Speaker 2: How do you even say it?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know how to say it.
Speaker 4: I always thought it was progue like Czech Republic, chech
Speaker 4: Nia Czech check.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is Czech Yeah, chech chech is different. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're very particular, I guess about that. So this
Speaker 3: is Czechia Czech yah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Czech Lewis and Louis check different.
Speaker 8: Slovakia became a thing in nineteen ninety three. Mm, so
Speaker 8: that's when they like split Czechoslovakia.
Speaker 4: So then Czechia and Slovakia have been separate since ninety three.
Speaker 1: You know where, because he will never go.
Speaker 8: Show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they'll go to Slovakia. Just wait a minute, who's
Speaker 2: paying for it?
Speaker 3: Just pay for the pretty business?
Speaker 2: Would schedule's pretty full? Man?
Speaker 3: Man, Prague looks awesome.
Speaker 2: It does. Prague is awesome. That's what everybody says. Everybody
Speaker 2: says that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So again, as I would have said, like, hey, should
Speaker 4: we go to the Czech Republic? And I would have
Speaker 4: been wrong. It's not even a thing.
Speaker 1: A lottery players have one more shot at the massive
Speaker 1: powerball jackpot before Thanksgiving. There's no Grand Pi's prize winner
Speaker 1: on Monday night, so the jackpot jumps to six eighty one.
Speaker 1: The next drawing on Wednesday night, cash option works out
Speaker 1: about three fifteen.
Speaker 2: What's the other one at? Is the other one over
Speaker 2: a billion?
Speaker 1: Now it doesn't say in this story, so I don't
Speaker 1: if somebody wonder or what. I have no idea because
Speaker 1: I don't remember us doing the story. This is the
Speaker 1: power ball, so the mega millions, I don't know if
Speaker 1: somebody look it up.
Speaker 3: Somebody must have because it's that seventy million.
Speaker 2: Man must have missed that. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Nine and eighty million dollars winter in one in noonan Georgia.
Speaker 2: Noon in Georgia. Nine hundred and eighty million dollars too much, God,
Speaker 2: that would be great, Pretty cool. That'd be pretty cool.
Speaker 3: I would eat so much.
Speaker 4: I'd be picking up all the checkia is all over
Speaker 4: the country. If I had nine hundred and eighty million,
Speaker 4: I'd be going to check. Yeah, you'd be long gone.
Speaker 4: Oh well, after I do the bonus plan of not
Speaker 4: letting anybody know that I have it, and then just
Speaker 4: gaslighting you guys for the rest of my life.
Speaker 2: Gotta be the best.
Speaker 1: The average cost of a Thanksgiving turkey is higher this
Speaker 1: year than last year. That's according to the financial website
Speaker 1: finance booze.
Speaker 2: It's like a dollar nour finance what Booze.
Speaker 1: Costs of the turkeys are more than eleven percent higher
Speaker 1: than last year, just over thirty four dollars for a
Speaker 1: fifteen pound bird. I like turkey a lot, man.
Speaker 5: I was just gonna ask that. It's kind of it's
Speaker 5: the state, right, It's a symbol of Thanksgiving, but it
Speaker 5: doesn't always taste.
Speaker 1: You gotta be particularly good at it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I gotta just cover it. And all the other
Speaker 3: fish smothered and gravy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, man, Corey turkey ever not since I was
Speaker 1: like eight and I hated it. You know what would
Speaker 1: be cool is just I think, uh, maybe we just
Speaker 1: get turkey breast. Can you just buy like a big
Speaker 1: old hunk of turkey breast?
Speaker 3: Yeah? The obstacles. Yeah, and that's the title of the podcast.
Speaker 1: Well said, I think maybe we had to start cooking
Speaker 1: the whole turkey because I ain't know by going no
Speaker 1: it is.
Speaker 3: It is weird.
Speaker 2: We had this happen in my house.
Speaker 4: Once you once you rip the band aid off and
Speaker 4: say like, hey, let's just do something non turkey this year,
Speaker 4: it's so much easier than in subsequent years.
Speaker 2: That's why were we so stuck on tury. We can
Speaker 2: do whatever we want. We've got to rip the band
Speaker 2: aid once and then it's real easy to move on.
Speaker 3: You can do it.
Speaker 2: We did it.
Speaker 5: We did it last year. We did all the sides.
Speaker 5: I mean we it was just the four of us
Speaker 5: for the first time ever, and we agree eat on
Speaker 5: the four or five sides or whatever, and then we
Speaker 5: voted on the meat and turkey was an option. Ham
Speaker 5: was an option, and uh, filet from Costco was the
Speaker 5: landslide winner.
Speaker 3: What it must he want?
Speaker 4: But I'm saying go even more extreme than even the severs,
Speaker 4: like completely go off the grid.
Speaker 2: Mohammed said that to Thanksgiving table, did he get what
Speaker 2: he wanted? Forget You're on camera.
Speaker 4: Was covered and oh my god, come on ge never mind,
Speaker 4: just go back to Turkey.

Speaker 2: And if you're thinking about eating at the airport, you're okay.
Speaker 1: The MSP International Airport food and hospitality workers avoided to
Speaker 1: strike before Thanksgiving, so good for them, so you can
Speaker 1: eat on when you're traveling.
Speaker 4: All right, So somebody helped me out because I'm a
Speaker 4: p one of Twin Cities Live last what was it? Thursday?
Speaker 4: Ben and Elizabeth broadcast from MSP and the other side
Speaker 4: of the security. They were like, in the whatever kind
Speaker 4: of cool that is? I didn't think poles, Yeah that
Speaker 4: was kind of cool anyway. Then they said that there
Speaker 4: is a movie theater at MSP. What like a hidden
Speaker 4: movie theater? Is it for like long layoffs? You can
Speaker 4: go watch a movie?
Speaker 9: Right?
Speaker 4: And I'm like, wait a minute, what the hell are
Speaker 4: they talking about? I guess there's a movie theater somewhere
Speaker 4: at MSP what what like an.
Speaker 5: Old one that's shut down or currently showing may I
Speaker 5: don't know.
Speaker 4: I didn't stick. I didn't want the whole show. I
Speaker 4: didn't see if they ever showed us what it looked like.

Speaker 4: like a secret hidden theater eighteen.
Speaker 11: It's next to Gate C eighteen mm hmm, and it
Speaker 11: showcases a variety of films, short films, documentaries, music videos

Speaker 3: Time out in the open. Actually, okay, there's some seats
Speaker 3: like there's a win. It's not even dark in there.
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, that's a little bit different. I thought it
Speaker 2: was like truly okay free and you can just walk in.
Speaker 4: I thought it was, Hey, if you have a six
Speaker 4: hour layover, if you want to go see the Avengers,
Speaker 4: buy a ticket and walk in. That would be next level, right,
Speaker 4: buying actual movie tickets because you have a layover.
Speaker 1: That significance crazy, that's an interesting thing.
Speaker 2: I can't believe I didn't know that. So you learned
Speaker 2: something watching Twin Cities Live. You know what I mean? Yeah, man,

Speaker 2: I can't think when people are watching. You think everybody's
Speaker 2: staring at right now? Yeah, what are you thinking about?
Speaker 2: Who the quarterback might be in twenty twenty six? If
Speaker 2: it's not somebody on this roster? I mean they could
Speaker 2: draft one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they might have like.
Speaker 7: The sixth overall pick, but every team Infernia needs one.
Speaker 7: And it's not a very good QB draft. Every team Infernia, Infernia. Yeah,
Speaker 7: it's a book. I it's a draft book.
Speaker 3: I'm Brandy.
Speaker 2: My grandpa gave me that book.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Louis Stevenson, Bryan.
Speaker 2: That bricker doesn't even know his grandpa's name.
Speaker 3: Grandpa's name.
Speaker 2: Yeah, mister Bricker will help you. What Week thirteen start
Speaker 2: to the Turkey Day triple header? Oh my god, you
Speaker 2: actually wrote that into your phone, didn't you. I did
Speaker 2: Turkey Day bad?
Speaker 3: That's on.
Speaker 7: The Lions hosts the Packers at noon. The Lions are
Speaker 7: between a one and a half to two and a
Speaker 7: half point favorite. The Cowboys host the Chiefs at three point.
Speaker 3: Thirty am.
Speaker 7: Casey is a three point favorite, and the Ravens host
Speaker 7: the Bengals at seven twenty. The Ravens are a seven
Speaker 7: point favorite and Joe Earl will likely start for the Bengals.
Speaker 4: For years and years and years and years and years
Speaker 4: when the Lions were terrible and unwatchable, it was like, man,
Speaker 4: the Thanksgiving Day lineup sucks. All three of these games
Speaker 4: are good for different reasons of the lineup. Yeah, and
Speaker 4: we got the Black Friday game on Friday, Bears at Eagles.
Speaker 4: So we have four games that should be pretty good
Speaker 4: within you know, a little over twenty four hours.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, not a bad, not a bad window of sports.
Speaker 2: Did anybody losing the Serviverpool.
Speaker 7: No, no, all those Lions almost did in the the Ravens,
Speaker 7: who a lot of us took for down like three
Speaker 7: nothing deep into the game against the awful Jets.
Speaker 3: Let's see here.
Speaker 7: The Timberwolves lost last night one seventeen to one twelve.
Speaker 2: They were up by ten with like three minutes left.
Speaker 3: They are now.
Speaker 7: The Kings are now five and thirteen. Ant had forty three.
Speaker 7: He's not the problem. The Wolves will battle the seventeen
Speaker 7: and one thunder tomorrow. Fleets scored thirty in a NBA
Speaker 7: Cup game.
Speaker 3: Howk you'll be watching?
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, I can't wait. I like the different
Speaker 1: colored floors.
Speaker 3: I think you're on.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's that was a real tough That was a
Speaker 5: tough loss, and it comes on the heels of a
Speaker 5: really bad loss in Phoenix, being of eight with fifty
Speaker 5: seconds to go. It's the composure element of it is
Speaker 5: catching me off guard, because that was going to be
Speaker 5: a strength of our team, was the continuity, the veterans
Speaker 5: we played together before, we're running it back and then
Speaker 5: to have these sort of frantic we don't know what
Speaker 5: to do looking moments deep in games is concerning. It's
Speaker 5: also that we were going to be better in crunch time,
Speaker 5: close games, big moments. The Wolves were not a good
Speaker 5: team in that category last year. That was going to
Speaker 5: be a marked area of improvement and on the radar,
Speaker 5: and we're working on it, and so far in these
Speaker 5: last two games, they've been anything but. And I did
Speaker 5: not anticipate that, Max No.
Speaker 8: I mean, like you said, we thought the Continuity was
Speaker 8: going to be a strengths team and it just kind
Speaker 8: of something feels off. The vibes just just feel off
Speaker 8: with this team right now, and they don't look like
Speaker 8: they're up to par with the rest. I mean, we're
Speaker 8: seeing some of these teams that basically kind of ran
Speaker 8: it back, like the Thunder, like the Pistons, that are
Speaker 8: doing really well, and the Wolves just are They're not
Speaker 8: even they don't even seem like they're in the same
Speaker 8: stratosphere as those type of teams. And this is a
Speaker 8: team that made the Western Conference Finals back to back years.
Speaker 8: I mean, they have a different set of expectations on
Speaker 8: their shoulders this year than any other year in Timberwolves
Speaker 8: franchise history, and they're just blowing games late to bad
Speaker 8: teams and it's like stunning collapses, like not just short, small,
Speaker 8: little collapse. It's like they're blowing an eight point lead
Speaker 8: with forty seconds to go, giving up a ten ozer
Speaker 8: run to the Kings in a minute in the fourth quarter,
Speaker 8: and using to a team that only had four wins
Speaker 8: at the time that you beat by thirty points a
Speaker 8: couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 3: It's just there.
Speaker 2: It doesn't seem like they're they're taking it very serious.
Speaker 4: What's nuts if they just close out these last two
Speaker 4: games against Phoenix and Sacramento. They're twelve and five and
Speaker 4: no one's complaining, but they blow two strange games, and
Speaker 4: now you're ten and seven and it feels like it's
Speaker 4: falling apart.
Speaker 5: Things can change real quickly, though, as we know in
Speaker 5: the NBA, and there is your perspective, it is early.
Speaker 5: We're ten and seven. It is a long season. If
Speaker 5: you can learn from this, survive this, be better because
Speaker 5: of it, then we look back and go, remember those
Speaker 5: two losses in November. Wow, that made us a really
Speaker 5: good team.
Speaker 3: They need a point guard.
Speaker 5: A couple of things. But yeah, that that is becoming
Speaker 5: more and more evidence.
Speaker 2: Yep, Well, go get LaMelo ball. He wants out of Charlotte. Yeah,
Speaker 2: how would you feel about LaMelo Ball on this team. No,
Speaker 2: LaMelo Ja Moran Ja Moran man.
Speaker 8: Closed, Yeah, I would, I would love. I would love
Speaker 8: John Moran or LaMelo Baw honestly, Yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Mean what about Carmelo s Hawk would proper?
Speaker 3: No, he would definitely would Cat.
Speaker 7: Then what currently they have a point guard and hawkys basketball?
Speaker 4: You would want a Meadow soprano or Carmelo? Can we
Speaker 4: call her Carmelo?
Speaker 2: He's fine either, Yeah, he don't care Carmelo. Viking's news
Speaker 2: is next.
Speaker 4: Obviously, the big news is Jad McCarthy, which means the
Speaker 4: big news might be Max Brosmer.

Speaker 3: Ad that's on fire.
Speaker 2: Something to look forward to him.
Speaker 1: On the Power Trip presented by Thank You So Yesterday, Ladies, Joe,
Speaker 1: Thanks to our friends ragg by the way, it was
Speaker 1: a shocker when KOs stepped to the party and said this.
Speaker 9: You know over the course of our travel home, reported
Speaker 9: some kind of symptoms and uh in regards to you know,
Speaker 9: his head, and we wanted to get back here once
Speaker 9: we you know, kind of heard that he was evaluated
Speaker 9: last night and after completing those tests, our training staff
Speaker 9: and doctors and medical team have decided that the right
Speaker 9: place for him is put him into the protocol for
Speaker 9: now and he'll go through that process this week.
Speaker 1: And him, of course being JJ McCarthy. Uh, here's KOs
Speaker 1: on JJ McCarthy this weekend.
Speaker 9: With the quarterbacks not really taking contact in practice in
Speaker 9: the different phases of the protocol, I think we got
Speaker 9: to just take it a day at a time and
Speaker 9: leave it to the medical professionals and the protocol. It's
Speaker 9: in place for a reason. We're by the book, you know,
Speaker 9: every step of the way on that. And I'm a
Speaker 9: huge proponent of the protocol and this and the procedures
Speaker 9: in in place for the betterment of the most important thing,
Speaker 9: which is player health and safety.
Speaker 2: So who will replace JJ?
Speaker 3: Mt Kale Max would take those take those reps.
Speaker 9: But like I said, you know, with how the practice
Speaker 9: week is going to go and Thanksgiving and things like that,
Speaker 9: there's a timeline there where you know, I think first
Speaker 9: and foremost will make the decision through the eyes of
Speaker 9: the medical professionals and the not only our staff, but
Speaker 9: the independent folks, And it's a medical thing first and foremost,
Speaker 9: And then I do think, you know, then at that point,
Speaker 9: you know, once you know, we see where we're at
Speaker 9: in the week and what it's looked like preparation wise,
Speaker 9: then we can make a football decision. But until then,
Speaker 9: you know, I look at look at it clearly as
Speaker 9: a medical decision.
Speaker 1: There you go, what are your thoughts, Marns, You know.
Speaker 5: What, It's been a It's been a tough couple of days.
Speaker 9: I have.
Speaker 5: A lot of thoughts and feelings because I watched the
Speaker 5: game as a lot of us did as a fan,
Speaker 5: and it was hard to watch, and it got to
Speaker 5: the point where I was feeling bad for everybody on
Speaker 5: the field, for JJ McCarthy in particular. Who did our
Speaker 5: play by play for that game, said Hawk.
Speaker 2: Knows was John Kelly, Joe Davis.
Speaker 3: That was it John Kelly.
Speaker 5: At one point he said, this is one of the
Speaker 5: worst hals of football I have ever seen. And he
Speaker 5: wasn't just talking about JJ McCarthy. It was the overall
Speaker 5: product that got to be shocking. I would say, I
Speaker 5: was like, what are we looking at? What is happening?
Speaker 2: Yep? It was tough tough watch, yeah about it?
Speaker 4: So again, can it get worse? If Rose Mug isn't good,
Speaker 4: I don't know if it can get worse.
Speaker 5: That second half was as bad as it can not
Speaker 5: get worse than that, Like the Miles price, you know,
Speaker 5: it's just like everything that could fall apart fell apart.
Speaker 5: I hope it cannot get any worse than that.
Speaker 12: You always hear that for rookie quarterbacks especially, the game
Speaker 12: has to slow down or something. And you know what
Speaker 12: was hard to watch a lot of times because they
Speaker 12: seemed to be having trouble making a decision figure out
Speaker 12: I was going concussion can be part of that, Like
Speaker 12: part of what we might have seen in that second
Speaker 12: half could be him dealing with some things that was,
Speaker 12: you know, things were not clicking as well in his
Speaker 12: brain as he wanted wanted things to click.
Speaker 3: But yes, it's been that.
Speaker 12: It hasn't just been that half either, It's been you know,
Speaker 12: that's been a deteriorating situation.
Speaker 4: So do you remember when he was the Offensive player
Speaker 4: of the week in Week one? We were going to
Speaker 4: start a parade on Tuesday Show. After that game, we
Speaker 4: were like, we got it. There we go, We're gonna
Speaker 4: win fifty five games. This that feels like fifty five
Speaker 4: years ago.
Speaker 2: Yes, man, things are not quite the same as after
Speaker 2: that fourth quarter.
Speaker 7: And then he looked terrible against Atlanta. And wasn't he
Speaker 7: hurt in the Atlanta game?
Speaker 3: Yep?
Speaker 2: Came out of the Atlanta game hurt.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Did any of you watch a decent amount of him
Speaker 5: at Michigan?
Speaker 3: Yep?
Speaker 2: Cal him down, I meant him. Yeah. On the field,
Speaker 2: he was great.
Speaker 7: On the field, he was great because this isn't a
Speaker 7: shot at him, but the shot at him coming out
Speaker 7: of the drafts.
Speaker 3: He didn't throw enough.
Speaker 7: But that offense was so good and Harbaugh, even in
Speaker 7: the pros now loves to run the ball, and they
Speaker 7: were so dominant that he would have to make like
Speaker 7: four or five clutch throws a game, but he.
Speaker 2: Did, and he did.
Speaker 5: That's and decisions correct.
Speaker 2: Yeah they weren't.
Speaker 7: They went fifteen and oh they beat some really they
Speaker 7: beat Washington and Alabama that year when they won the championship,
Speaker 7: who were both great football teams.
Speaker 5: So it wasn't just like you say, well, he was
Speaker 5: a game manager quarterback. He handed the ball off to
Speaker 5: great running backs. He was much more than that, right,
Speaker 5: JJ McCarthy was. He maybe didn't throw all the time,
Speaker 5: but to your points us, he made clutch throws when
Speaker 5: he had to. He made quick decisions.
Speaker 3: He won a national championship.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, you don't just fall into that, No, fresh
Speaker 10: doesn't always, you know. Trans It's like the weirdest part
Speaker 10: about all of this is he's gotten worse. Like he
Speaker 10: was outstanding in that first that fourth quarter of the
Speaker 10: first game, he was terrible against the Falcons, and he's
Speaker 10: just regressed. That's that's probably the most glaring thing is
Speaker 10: they run these like simple plays for him in the
Speaker 10: game against the Packers on Sunday, and he gets sacked
Speaker 10: or he holds onto the ball too long, or he
Speaker 10: sails the throw. And you know, it is tough when
Speaker 10: Micah Parsons is almost in the backfield and every play
Speaker 10: but like, you gotta make some throws, you gotta throw
Speaker 10: the ball, and he would just hang on to it
Speaker 10: a lot of the time.
Speaker 1: I look at the text, I just s't you, guys,
Speaker 1: this is a picture that I just copied from a
Speaker 1: story from Alec Alec Lewis and the Athletic. That's a
Speaker 1: picture of Max Brosmer. Look at that, that stance of
Speaker 1: him throwing the ball right there. Everybody who's looking at
Speaker 1: it right here. Everything we've heard complaining about JJ, that's
Speaker 1: the exact opposite in that picture. Look at where his
Speaker 1: arm is, Look where his his shoulders a little bit
Speaker 1: above the other shoulder, where his eyes are, where his
Speaker 1: arm's at, all of that stuff. Maybe the mechanics are
Speaker 1: just substantially better with Max Brosmer already, you know. Maybe
Speaker 1: they're you know, intangibles obviously that JJ that Max will
Speaker 1: never have, But just as far as fundamentals, maybe maybe
Speaker 1: he's a step ahead because he doesn't have to relearn
Speaker 1: so much or learn things for the first time that
Speaker 1: JJ's had to learn from this coaching staff.
Speaker 2: You don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 5: Maybe he's just swimming.
Speaker 1: Maybe, yeah, maybe it's the well yeah, Rona.
Speaker 5: Said just a minute ago, the game has to slow down,
Speaker 5: and it feels like the game is speeding up every week,
Speaker 5: and that's probably not Yeah, you want to go in.
Speaker 7: The weird part too, though. There are a lot of
Speaker 7: people who do this on social media. Everybody does it
Speaker 7: right where they after the game, they watch it and
Speaker 7: they post a bunch of clips. There are multiple clips
Speaker 7: where Justin Jefferson is wide open, Addison is is his
Speaker 7: route is going to break off and he's going to
Speaker 7: be open, and there's no anticipation and he dumps it
Speaker 7: down to Hawkinson kind of in like a panic. The coaching,
Speaker 7: the coaching made. There are people who are saying, well,
Speaker 7: it might be the coaching. The game plan that they
Speaker 7: put together when you watch it from a from a
Speaker 7: different angle, is mostly there. We saw that against this
Speaker 7: last Sam Darnold game. Those players were wide open and
Speaker 7: Sam just got destroyed behind the offensive line and just
Speaker 7: couldn't get him the ball. The game plan sometimes is there.
Speaker 7: They just he just can't execute. He's he's gun shy,
Speaker 7: is what is what I'm seeing.
Speaker 3: Thank you for your honesty. You're welcome.
Speaker 1: I didn't do a good job making my point. I
Speaker 1: mean imagine that we that if you're JJ McCarthy, you've
Speaker 1: got to learn the entire offense right, but you also
Speaker 1: have to learn where your feet need to be, where
Speaker 1: your shoulders need to be, where your eyes need to be,
Speaker 1: where your hands need to be. And now you're Max
Speaker 1: Brosmer and you've already got those other things taken care of.
Speaker 2: You have to do learn the playbook, you know.
Speaker 6: What I mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah, starting at zero, JJ is starting at negative five.
Speaker 5: Ye yeah, yes, that's why is JJ a negative five?
Speaker 5: Did he have terrible form in college?
Speaker 2: See, that's the thing that's fascinating. Did he not have
Speaker 2: a year year to work on it a personal quarterback
Speaker 2: coach since the time he was in sixth grade? He did?
Speaker 2: That's the thing I don't understand.
Speaker 7: And if we are seeing this and the people on
Speaker 7: Twitter are seeing this, why wasn't this something they saw
Speaker 7: in like mini camp where they were like, maybe it's
Speaker 7: not there, right, Like we like Diana Rassini and all
Speaker 7: those people at the Athletic were like, there are reports
Speaker 7: that it's like they are worried about him. That's why
Speaker 7: we keep hearing about these quarterbacks. But somebody or a
Speaker 7: group of people were like, no, we're not bringing somebody in.
Speaker 2: We can fix this.
Speaker 3: This kid's got it.
Speaker 2: And they've looked wrong the six games he's played.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you for your honesty.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, anyway, so they go, Now, let's move on
Speaker 1: to other things. Here's KOs on our former quarterback.
Speaker 2: I don't know some doctor that sucked for the team.
Speaker 9: Sam has continued on with a lot of the things
Speaker 9: he did last year for US. You know, they're very explosive.
Speaker 9: He does a great job, you know, getting the playmakers involved.
Speaker 9: I think Smith and Jig was one of the best
Speaker 9: receivers in football. And they've got some good tight ends
Speaker 9: and between Cooper and they make a trade for another,
Speaker 9: you know, skill player at the deadline and you just feel,
Speaker 9: you know, some momentum of that offense and you know
Speaker 9: they're able to move it as well as anybody in
Speaker 9: the league.
Speaker 2: They made some moves at the deadline. M Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: Seattle team.
Speaker 7: If they win that division, which I don't think they
Speaker 7: will because of the Rams, but if they get to
Speaker 7: play a home playoff game. That's a tough place to play,
Speaker 7: Thank you for is it the noise and I mean
Speaker 7: I've never been there for a football game. You have
Speaker 7: hawk right, it's a tough place to play.
Speaker 1: Its incredibly loud. It's it's the most loud United States
Speaker 1: stadium I've ever been in.
Speaker 2: Most loud. It's the twelfth Man, right, they call it
Speaker 2: the twelfth Man. It's incredible.
Speaker 1: There's an overhang that I mean, it's an open air stadium,
Speaker 1: but the overhang is all position in a way that
Speaker 1: you can't believe how loud it is.
Speaker 2: The twelfth Man is also what Tommy volunteers to be.
Speaker 3: Has he heard about the overhang?
Speaker 1: In fact, if there's only ten minutes, asking for more
Speaker 1: people to show
Speaker 4: Up, Fan five in a second headlines later, Jonathan Grenard later,
Speaker 4: this is the power to the morning show on the
Speaker 4: Fan
