Speaker 1: Join the Meat, Sauce and Miller Light at D Michael
Speaker 1: Bees in Albertville next Thursday from five to seven.
Speaker 2: Stop by for drink specials.
Speaker 1: Games in the register for a chance to win a
Speaker 1: spot in the Vikings Foundation Golf Tournament. All the details
Speaker 1: now at kafan dot com. Just make the keyword golf.
Speaker 3: Where's D Michael Bees?
Speaker 1: Sounds like one of those like gotcha things. Uh it's
Speaker 1: over off a Lamplight Drive in Alberville.
Speaker 3: Oh oh yeah, okay, yeah, no, I know. We're sat
Speaker 3: supper by the.
Speaker 2: Mall right by the right, on the other side of
Speaker 2: the space.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly where the old new place used to be.
Speaker 3: Like they're going to turn that by the way, Remember
Speaker 3: how Alamo had two sides. Yeah, yeah, the side that's
Speaker 3: empty now they're going to turn it into like grocery
Speaker 3: store and stuff.
Speaker 4: Oh see on the right side there, Huh, that's where
Speaker 4: the old Puma store used to be before they moved
Speaker 4: it to the other side.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know from the other side.
Speaker 4: It didn't always seem to never make sense to You'd
Speaker 4: go to one side of the mall park and then
Speaker 4: you're like, well, I'm not going to walk across that
Speaker 4: main road there so you would get back in your
Speaker 4: car than Repark. It does make a lot more sense
Speaker 4: to just have all of the outlet mall in the
Speaker 4: same spot, you.
Speaker 2: Know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: So do I don't know why they're great. I don't
Speaker 4: know why I do, though, but I do. And that's
Speaker 4: a good one. One's good too.
Speaker 2: What else? Sweet? We got? Egan and Albertville are the
Speaker 2: two that are kind of major in the cities. Correct?
Speaker 3: Is Egan relatively new?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I thought, because I drove by it
Speaker 3: not long ago and I was like, I didn't even
Speaker 3: know this thing was here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, right down seventy seven, right right, a couple of
Speaker 4: minutes south.
Speaker 2: From the mall outlet Moss.
Speaker 4: You know, Okay, I have Pretzels, man, gotta have an
Speaker 4: any Ends Pretzels stand somewhere in there.
Speaker 2: I have to otherwise you're wasting my time.
Speaker 3: I want to do this.
Speaker 1: This news with Chris Hockey, I presented by the Saint
Speaker 1: Paul Saint.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Saint Paul Saints home opener coming up here
Speaker 3: on the thirty first, Let's go baseball season. Okay, do
Speaker 3: you guys remember Pie Day the other day?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Sure, fourteenth, I was listening to a podcast called the
Speaker 3: Bets and Quotes podcast, and they are a show about
Speaker 3: this show.
Speaker 2: It's an exception show within a show within a show, but.
Speaker 3: They do their own show and sometimes it's better than
Speaker 3: this show.
Speaker 2: Couldn't agree more.
Speaker 3: And I was listening to one of them. He goes
Speaker 3: by the name Quotes, and he was talking about his
Speaker 3: a job, which is being a teacher of the math
Speaker 3: variety Nightmare. Yeah correct, And he said that every year
Speaker 3: on Pie Day, he does this contest where the student
Speaker 3: who can remember the most digits of pie gets to
Speaker 3: either eat a pie or pie him in the face.
Speaker 4: My guest is the kids are going to pick pieing
Speaker 4: their teacher in the face.
Speaker 3: Well, I need the rest of the story on that.
Speaker 2: But even more.
Speaker 3: Was the story he told, which to him sounded like
Speaker 3: it was no big deal. And I was walking through
Speaker 3: these streets of Eagle River, Wisconsin. I almost crap myself
Speaker 3: when he said this, would you like to tell that
Speaker 3: story real quick? Please?
Speaker 2: Hi, Hi, Hi, good morning.
Speaker 5: This This is Smithy whom powers quotes whatever you want
Speaker 5: to call me, Hey, Hi, smitty, But yeah, I do
Speaker 5: this concert or this contest every year. I've done it
Speaker 5: for probably twenty some years, and so yeah, it's kind
Speaker 5: of old hat for me. It's it's always impressive to
Speaker 5: me the students who put up a big score. But
Speaker 5: I'm at a new school this year, and so I
Speaker 5: wasn't sure what to expect. I didn't even know if
Speaker 5: I was going to do the contest. But you know,
Speaker 5: I can't help myself. Pie Day's coming up and you
Speaker 5: want to do something, So I, like you said, I
Speaker 5: offer a prize. Either I bake you a pie or
Speaker 5: you pine me in the face. We can talk about
Speaker 5: the ratio, and I never know if it's going to
Speaker 5: be ten digits or or hundreds of digits, and I
Speaker 5: never know which students are going to get involved. And
Speaker 5: so this year, I in my classes, I've got some
Speaker 5: really high level classes. I've got some other just kind
Speaker 5: of we call them on level classes. And it was
Speaker 5: in my on level geometry class one, Hey, anyone gonna
Speaker 5: participate in mister UM's contest this year?
Speaker 3: And well, you say the remember I want them to guess,
Speaker 3: but go ahead.
Speaker 5: Okay, And this girl raises her hand and says, yeah,
Speaker 5: I'll do it, and uh, this this girl doesn't participate
Speaker 5: in class a lot, and she's does it does a
Speaker 5: fine job. But I wasn't expecting anything from this person.
Speaker 5: And so she stands up in front of the room
Speaker 5: and starts three point one four, one five, and I'll
Speaker 5: let you guess what do you think the winning number
Speaker 5: was this year?
Speaker 3: How many digits of pie did she remember off the
Speaker 3: top of her head?
Speaker 2: Pull your hands up.
Speaker 1: This may sound dumb, it's endless, right, yes, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think what I could do and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna probably have to quadruple that.
Speaker 2: So hang on a second, just to clarify.
Speaker 4: So this was how much time do they have to
Speaker 4: practice or memorize this?
Speaker 5: I think I've probably announced the contest, maybe a month
Speaker 5: ahead of time.
Speaker 4: Okay, because like, if you gave him an hour, the
Speaker 4: number is pretty small, even for a really smart kid.
Speaker 4: It'd be hard to practice and memorize a really really
Speaker 4: long number within an hour. If you gave him a
Speaker 4: month and somebody was motivated, maybe even like you said,
Speaker 4: quietly motivated where it didn't seem like they were interested,
Speaker 4: but all of a sudden boom, they cared.
Speaker 5: And that's what I tell them. A month ahead of time.
Speaker 5: If you do like three digits a day for the
Speaker 5: next thirty days.
Speaker 2: That's almost one.
Speaker 4: Hundred digit It's just like right, all right if it's
Speaker 4: a number that made Chris almost crap his pants.
Speaker 3: And maybe I'm dumb because my memory is so bad,
Speaker 3: and it's not just because I'm old. I've never been
Speaker 3: able to do this.
Speaker 2: Kind of thing. Basin, you just tipped your hand a
Speaker 2: little bit.
Speaker 4: If it's you know, three times thirty or something, you're
Speaker 4: already talking ninety. I'm gonna say she did something like,
Speaker 4: I'll go one fifty, I'll go one forty.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do what I did.
Speaker 1: I got about twenty, so I'm gonna say quadre up
Speaker 1: with them to say eighty.
Speaker 5: And I don't think you're kidding you wipe our mouth
Speaker 5: over there. You just you know, twenty digits right off
Speaker 5: right now, off the top of your head.
Speaker 1: I think I can probably give it a shot, uh confirm?
Speaker 1: Three point one four one? Oh crap? Two six three
Speaker 1: five two six five three five eight nine seven nine
Speaker 1: two three eight four.
Speaker 2: I think you damn so much.
Speaker 3: That's so much better than I can.
Speaker 2: I can't.
Speaker 5: And that's crazy because the amount that Zach just did.
Speaker 5: If you use that version of pie to calculate a
Speaker 5: circle the size of the planet Earth. If you had
Speaker 5: the distance across the diameter of a circle that big,
Speaker 5: and you multiplyed by Zach's version of pie that he
Speaker 5: just rattled off, You're going to calculate the circumference of
Speaker 5: our planet to within an inch of the actual circumference.
Speaker 3: That's incredible math. Man.
Speaker 1: Wow, she.
Speaker 5: Did two hundred and fifty digits.
Speaker 2: Wow, two and fifty win. Wow, she won? She won.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there was a couple of guys who got like
Speaker 5: ninety five or seventy eight or something like that.
Speaker 3: What's the most you've ever had?
Speaker 2: The most? Somebody do, the most I've ever had.
Speaker 5: This was a few years ago, and I knew it
Speaker 5: was going to happen, so I had Jenna Short'll come
Speaker 5: out and cover it for breaking the news. But five
Speaker 5: hundred is my all time record.
Speaker 2: Am, which is crazy.
Speaker 5: And I talk about that with the class after she
Speaker 5: rattles it off, I talk about that ten digits and
Speaker 5: you've got the circumference of our planet and thirty digits
Speaker 5: and you can do the universe and the rest of
Speaker 5: It's just kind of an exercise and curiosity, which is
Speaker 5: kind of what I'm all about.
Speaker 2: All right, between the four of us, how many do
Speaker 2: we think Sauce can get? Can he get three? Yeah?
Speaker 3: After the decimal point?
Speaker 2: No, okay, so insulted.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, no, listen, I this was never an
Speaker 3: exercise they even asked us to do. So this is
Speaker 3: all brand new to me. Did PI exist when I
Speaker 3: was in school?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna say you can get five?
Speaker 2: Eight? He can't get past it. I can't get I
Speaker 2: know it's three point one four, that's it. Five.
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, now you have like a one
Speaker 4: in ten chance, no idea. I didn't pay attention to
Speaker 4: any of that. No, I can't name it past three
Speaker 4: point one four.
Speaker 2: Oh never, I thought you could do a ton of it.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: No, no, it's like something you would know. No never, never,
Speaker 2: never care to learn past the four.
Speaker 3: Impressive.
Speaker 2: That's impressive.
Speaker 3: That's pretty good stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And for the contest, of course, there's the two choices,
Speaker 5: either pie me in the face or have me bake
Speaker 5: a pie. And you'd think high school kids they'd love
Speaker 5: to pie their teacher in the face.
Speaker 2: I would think it's unanimous in the history.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like legitimately twenty twenty two twenty three years that
Speaker 5: I've been doing this, I think I think have been
Speaker 5: pied in the face by four different people, one of
Speaker 5: whom was my own daughter when she won the contest.
Speaker 2: Brilliant, that's it. She has she has to Yeah, that's brilliant.
Speaker 2: That's said.
Speaker 5: I think this year it's not official, but I believe
Speaker 5: she's to choose to pine me in the face.
Speaker 2: So we'll have to do that.
Speaker 5: We're on spring break right now, which is why I'm here,
Speaker 5: But after spring break, well, we'll do that up.
Speaker 2: That's great.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's great.
Speaker 4: I truly think almost anybody could do this if they
Speaker 4: did it the way you described it, like, instead of going,
Speaker 4: well I can't rememborize one hundred and fifty or two
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty numbers, Well, if you broke it down
Speaker 4: three or four at a time and just practice them
Speaker 4: in groups and literally just practiced every day, it would
Speaker 4: just be a matter of doing reps right.
Speaker 2: It might take you a couple of months, but then
Speaker 2: you could do it.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, memorization more and it's not math, it's memorization.
Speaker 5: When my daughter won it, she probably knew about ten
Speaker 5: digits in the morning of and she's like, well, heck,
Speaker 5: I've got my dad's class seventh hour. And so she
Speaker 5: just sat in her study hall and just really in
Speaker 5: her short term memory, and I think she got one
Speaker 5: hundred and nineteen or something like that.
Speaker 4: And that was just a one day practical in one day,
Speaker 4: but it was that's impressive.
Speaker 2: Then ask her the next day.
Speaker 5: She probably couldn't have done it because it was just
Speaker 5: short term memory and purged after the fact.
Speaker 2: Wow. Man, impressive.
Speaker 3: That's cool, man. Cool school School's fun.
Speaker 2: School is fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah. When you make it fun as a lung, it
Speaker 2: just goes on forever. How far could you go?
Speaker 5: That's probably not much farther than Zach honestly, I mean
Speaker 5: like maybe twenty five or something like that. So when
Speaker 5: when the kids are reciting it, I've got it printed
Speaker 5: out in front of me and I'm just keeping track
Speaker 5: as they're going, and you know, sometimes they'll goof up
Speaker 5: and I'll give them a chance. I'll you know, go
Speaker 5: back five digits to you know, eight a three eight
Speaker 5: or whatever, and they pick it up from there. But
Speaker 5: it's a lot of fun, and uh, you know, it
Speaker 5: just gets people talking about math. Why we're sitting here
Speaker 5: on the power trip Morning show talking about pie and
Speaker 5: math and cool stuff.
Speaker 3: Tommy, pie, we do pie is not surprising?
Speaker 4: All right, let's try this then, let's I want to
Speaker 4: I want to pick you up, right, Let's get you going.
Speaker 2: Let's get you some confidence. All right?
Speaker 4: That was how many numbers of pie after the decimal point?
Speaker 4: Can somebody memorize?
Speaker 2: Correct? How many numbers can sauce? Name one? Hey, I
Speaker 2: let us guess first, That.
Speaker 3: Was his answer.
Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, there's a pieday dot org smell.
Speaker 1: They have a million on this web page. There's a
Speaker 1: million pie numbers. Yeah, just keeps going and going and
Speaker 1: going and going.
Speaker 2: Kind of like this show. Sometimes a men, brother, Oh boy,
Speaker 2: what time is it? Rather be pie in the face?
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 4: Why it's such a I'm in a great mood, making
Speaker 4: making funny in my contract, which is fine computer.
Speaker 2: I've been pretty nice Monday through Thursday, so I got
Speaker 2: to catch up.
Speaker 4: Whe I'm gonna get fired. Yeah, I hope they don't
Speaker 4: get fired. I'm on pace to be there by nine.
Speaker 4: We're fine.
Speaker 1: How does this calculating? Like, how do they get to
Speaker 1: like he says, it's a million, so is that? How
Speaker 1: do they get to how do they know that the
Speaker 1: four hundred and forty four and thirty third number is
Speaker 1: a two.
Speaker 5: That's a great question. How do they calculate pi? And
Speaker 5: there's lots of different ways of doing it. There's infinite
Speaker 5: series where you take you know, h one fourth minus
Speaker 5: three fourths plus five forths and just for reasons that
Speaker 5: we definitely can't talk about right now. But but a
Speaker 5: guy named Archimedes, years and years and years ago from
Speaker 5: Sword in the Stone, Yeah, sure, put a polygon around
Speaker 5: a circle and a polygon inside a circle. Oh what well,
Speaker 5: I didn't want to say circum circumscribe, but you're you're
Speaker 5: making me do it.
Speaker 2: He was just confused by shapesht me.
Speaker 5: But basically he could do this in ancient Greek times
Speaker 5: and he could calculate polygons and he could figure out
Speaker 5: that a circle is somewhere in between these things. And
Speaker 5: with technology, computers and that's another reason why why do
Speaker 5: we do this? Is computer programming? And can I create
Speaker 5: a processor that can calculate more digits of pie faster
Speaker 5: than the current processor And that might be a selling
Speaker 5: point for for my you know, my Intel process or whatever.
Speaker 2: I caught you act a bit.
Speaker 3: It is fascinating though, right, like math is God, you know,
Speaker 3: like it's it's in everything, it's a piece of everything.
Speaker 3: I think that's just fascinating. I don't understand a bit
Speaker 3: of it, but I think it's fascinating. Even music, everything
Speaker 3: is math.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 5: I've had students who have done science Fair projects using
Speaker 5: the Golden ratio in music and breaking down different artists
Speaker 5: and looking at either the tones that they're using or
Speaker 5: the length of time of different segments of a song
Speaker 5: and just how it's related to all these wonderful magical
Speaker 5: things in mathematics.
Speaker 4: Or letting tool do the Fibonacci sequence just to show off.
Speaker 3: Or the idea. I've heard this somewhere I forget where.
Speaker 3: I wish I could credit the person. But his theory
Speaker 3: on the Pink Floyd was it a Oz thing, was
Speaker 3: that it just happens that the math works perfectly just
Speaker 3: because math is undefeated. It just happens that they line
Speaker 3: up because of the math of the Wizard of Oz
Speaker 3: movie and the math of the The Dark Side of
Speaker 3: the Moon. Think about that. It could be that could
Speaker 3: be the reason that it lines up.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Man works like raise the Blade, make
Speaker 2: the Change.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I know there's just so many coincidences. Pink
Speaker 4: Floyd's a bunch of liars.
Speaker 1: It's very much like the almost feels like the TLC
Speaker 1: bit and the other guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're all in on it, but you know you're
Speaker 2: no idea what you're talking about here. God love Michael Keaton,
Speaker 2: I'd love to thanks.
Speaker 3: For having me, Thanks for doing that. The other smith and.
Speaker 2: What are the first let's go eight?
Speaker 4: What are the first eight letters after the decimal point
Speaker 4: and pie sauce?
Speaker 2: Pay attention three point one four so sauce? One four
Speaker 2: letter go ahead? One four one.
Speaker 4: Five nine, one five nine, two six two six, five
Speaker 4: three five here or all right stop there? One four
Speaker 4: one five nine, two six, five three So I'll say
Speaker 4: that again. One four one five nine, two six five
Speaker 4: three one four one five nine two six nine three
Speaker 4: five three five three do one more time? One four
Speaker 4: one five nine, two six five three one four one
Speaker 4: five nine two six nine.
Speaker 2: Three five three. I was gonna say, can he remember
Speaker 2: it through the commercial break? He can't remember it through
Speaker 2: three seconds? Say it again?
Speaker 4: One four, one five, nine, two six five three one
Speaker 4: four one five nine, two five nine three.
Speaker 2: You haven't said a nuner second nine.
Speaker 4: Nine three five three forget it only if she's tie
Speaker 4: him in the face.
Speaker 2: Sauce and who sports after this?
Speaker 1: A man.
Speaker 3: Four?
Speaker 1: Feel the energy of the state of Hockey Minnesota. Wild
Speaker 1: Hockey is back at Grand Casino Arena. So miss the speed,
Speaker 1: the hits and the aroar of the crowd. Get your
Speaker 1: tickets on wild dot com slash tickets.
Speaker 2: So good luck for tomorrow's game. That's not going to happen.
Speaker 2: Oh what?
Speaker 3: What's not going to happen?
Speaker 2: It's sold the F word.
Speaker 3: Oh I thought you were predicting a loss for your
Speaker 3: beloved squad.
Speaker 1: No, predicting a hell of a hockey game.
Speaker 2: All right, everybody hack of a hockey game?
Speaker 3: That might be cool. You're naked mole rat?
Speaker 2: Whoa naked mall rat?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that topless fortune teller from mal Rats. Hey, Core, Yes, sir,
Speaker 4: you know Greg Phillips is Greg Phillips. I'll just tell you.
Speaker 3: I December, he was elected to lead FEMA's Office of
Speaker 3: Response Recovery. Okay, nope, okay, FEMA, you're familiar.
Speaker 1: Yep?
Speaker 3: Sure do you know that he claims that he was
Speaker 3: involuntary teleported to a Orgie waffle house?
Speaker 2: Oh no, I'm glad he's in charge.
Speaker 3: That's a true story. I'm not making that up. He
Speaker 3: said it on multiple podcasts. Said he was really transported.
Speaker 3: I shouldn't. Transport is not right, Like teleport teleported fifty
Speaker 3: miles from where he was to a waffle house, And
Speaker 3: I say to him, I want that to happen to
Speaker 3: me because I love waffle house.
Speaker 2: Definitely.
Speaker 4: Great to have people in really high positions of power
Speaker 4: believe that they've been teleported to waffle house. That's that's
Speaker 4: good for all of us. Everybody's doing great. Country's on path,
Speaker 4: on the right path. We're doing great.
Speaker 2: Maybe they have.
Speaker 3: Maybe they have core.
Speaker 4: I mean, let's say aliens exist and they are teleporting
Speaker 4: us to and fro.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a pretty pretty sick move to be, like,
Speaker 2: let's send the son of a bitch to waffle house.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, this guy looks like he wants breakfast.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he went to the waffle house in Rome, Georgia.
Speaker 3: I would want to go to the waffle house in
Speaker 3: Las Vegas, Nevada.
Speaker 2: See there's that exactly?
Speaker 1: Is there?
Speaker 2: One?
Speaker 4: They're just trolling him. This is a blackout, right. This
Speaker 4: guy got hammered, and he's like, I got teleported.
Speaker 3: I was with my boys one time and I was
Speaker 3: telling them I was going to go to waffle house
Speaker 3: and get waffle house, and I ended up out a
Speaker 3: waffle house. This was in Georgia, and I ended up
Speaker 3: at a waffle house like fifty miles away from where
Speaker 3: I was. He said, he blacked, and they were like,
Speaker 3: where are you? And I said a waffle house and
Speaker 3: a waffle house where? And I said waffle house in Rome, Georgia.
Speaker 3: And they said that's not possible. You just left here
Speaker 3: a moment ago. But it was possible. It was real.
Speaker 2: Yeah. See, I want to say, posed.
Speaker 3: To the aliens who are listening to the radio show
Speaker 3: right now, please transport me to the Bunny Ranch immediately.
Speaker 3: If not so, I don't care.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, I'll gladly be proven wrong. If one of
Speaker 2: our alien overlords is listening and can teleport me right
Speaker 2: now is a Las Vegas trip? Do it, and I
Speaker 2: will immediately say I was wrong, you did it, and
Speaker 2: we're all happy.
Speaker 3: Can we have them transport dot Com Tom up the
Speaker 3: elevator to hear because he's here.
Speaker 2: How about Anna?
Speaker 4: How about like uh like Wonka Vision right where they
Speaker 4: were gonna he was gonna transmit candy bars through people's
Speaker 4: TVs and.
Speaker 2: Then Mike TV.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's over our head and a million pieces if
Speaker 4: our alien overlords. Instead of sending me to Las Vegas
Speaker 4: or Chris of the Bunny Ranch, how about they just
Speaker 4: teleport waffle House breakfast to us.
Speaker 2: Yes, well said, I don't want to go anywhere. I
Speaker 2: just want breakfast.
Speaker 3: I will serve you, my alien overlords. Yeah, we know,
Speaker 3: I will be your sex slaves.
Speaker 4: That was implied. Yeah, the whole town. And again they
Speaker 4: know the whispered and you've definitely googled alien porn.
Speaker 3: They probably don't like it as much if I love
Speaker 3: it so much.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean exactly.
Speaker 4: This is the one that's on the side of the
Speaker 4: road and going. They just dropped me off for I
Speaker 4: seemed way too enthusiastic. They said, this one's gotta go.
Speaker 4: Ye you and PiZZ sauce. They misread what you wrote down.
Speaker 4: They sent you with the wrong Lambert may get a
Speaker 4: little rubber fifth Man. Anyway, there we go.
Speaker 2: That's I can I can I give you a quick
Speaker 2: hot take. I don't care on teleportation, of course, On food,
Speaker 2: of course, waffle house is overrated.
Speaker 3: You dirty bastard.
Speaker 1: It's just like Perkins is better Embers when it was around,
Speaker 1: was better.
Speaker 2: Good Day Cafe is better. Well that's not even come on.
Speaker 4: We're talking about chain restaurants versus good better.
Speaker 1: Than waffle house? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I have in your hometown.
Speaker 1: How'd you get there?
Speaker 2: Well, not in your home state. I've been to one
Speaker 2: in Indiana. Yeah, how'd you get there? I drove how
Speaker 2: longer to take you? About five minutes? It's fine teleport,
Speaker 2: But like, I think it's like the in and out effect.
Speaker 2: If we had waffle House here, I think we'd feel
Speaker 2: the same.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, they're popular. Yeah, but like they're open
Speaker 3: twenty four hours.
Speaker 2: Yeah, McDonald's breakfast is better.
Speaker 3: Please, Roner, can you shut him up. I'm trying to
Speaker 3: make a point.
Speaker 2: You're a judge now, who swore you in the Alien Overlords.
Speaker 3: It's open twenty four hours. You're there's no better place
Speaker 3: to go when you're about three sheets to the wind,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you walked like two miles to one easy.
Speaker 3: My teleporter was broke.
Speaker 4: It's one of my favorite things that happens behind the scenes.
Speaker 4: By the way, is Tom says he's here. Zach went
Speaker 4: downstairs to find him, and they can't find each other.
Speaker 3: He went to the bathroom.
Speaker 4: Oh, let me tell Zach. Go into the bathroom and
Speaker 4: see if Tom's and that. Yeah, check the bathroom.

Speaker 2: You guys allowed to do that. We are strictly forbidden.
Speaker 2: Come on, man, NFL networks, no fun. Let the man gamble.
Speaker 2: I've got scratches. Jack and I were talking about on
Speaker 2: the way up.
Speaker 6: I'm twelve days away from being in a Disney employee,
Speaker 6: so oh yes, at that point, I assume all bets
Speaker 6: are off, since I'm watching Joe Fortenbau right now doing
Speaker 6: best Bets on.
Speaker 2: TV exactly exactly.
Speaker 6: Well said, maybe that means I can talk about them,
Speaker 6: but I can't make them.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. Maybe it's unclear.
Speaker 6: So zero dollars is what you're allowed to do to
Speaker 6: have in a pool in the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 4: As a future Disney employee. Do you get like fast passes?
Speaker 4: Do you get discounts at the parks?
Speaker 2: What do you get? First? Question them?
Speaker 6: Unclear's that seems to be. It's probably something I should
Speaker 6: try to find out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, your girls would want to go to Disney, right?
Speaker 2: Have you taken them to Disney or not?
Speaker 6: My wife texted me yesterday out of context and said
Speaker 6: I will never come to Orlando again because she was
Speaker 6: stuck there on a lengthy delay. So I think Orlando's out.
Speaker 6: She's also veto Disney in the past. Last time we
Speaker 6: were there, I was like, all right, I want to like,
Speaker 6: we got to do one theme park, right, do you
Speaker 6: guys want to do universally?
Speaker 2: You want to do Disney. They voted for.
Speaker 6: The Fun Spot, which is like the raggedy twenty dollars
Speaker 6: thing with like one roller coaster. They loved it, like
Speaker 6: twelve straight hours riding the same roller coaster.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I was like, I was voting for the thing that
Speaker 6: would cost me the most money, right, Like, no, let's
Speaker 6: go to the Fun Spot. It's got one roller coaster,
Speaker 6: wrote it all day, no lines. I was like, all right,
Speaker 6: it's not bad. Though it works, it's not even a
Speaker 6: good name, right, the funds. I think that should be
Speaker 6: pretty sure that what it's called. I'm pretty sure there
Speaker 6: might be between Isati and Princeville exactly.
Speaker 1: Guess what they do have though, or probably cheese curds
Speaker 1: or something and Auntie Anne's pretzel.
Speaker 2: Okay, it sounds like a fun spot. Well, two vikings
Speaker 2: asn't we get back? Wait?
Speaker 3: Can I can? I? Yeah, we gotta go break at
Speaker 3: some point. Have you guys read this article about what
Speaker 3: it costs and what the Minnesota gol and Gophers have
Speaker 3: to do to play in this tournament they're playing in Vegas.
Speaker 2: No, No, this is unbelievable. I can't wait to hear
Speaker 2: it's somebody to go cover.
Speaker 3: It, Sportico a copy of the contract. This is so weird.
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about it when we get back.
Speaker 3: Then.
Speaker 4: I want to ask Pelo Sarah about Carson Wentz because
Speaker 4: that signing broke yesterday morning and it confused the hell
Speaker 4: out of us.
Speaker 2: We have a lot of questions for Tom. We'll see
Speaker 2: if you put a lot of context in that tweet. Really,
Speaker 2: did you're kind of connected? Did you see him connect acted?
Speaker 2: We'll talk with NFL Networks dot com Tom, Tom Pelosero,
Speaker 2: a future Disney employee. After this, I'm the fan.
Speaker 1: You can hang out with Max Fuller and I today
Speaker 1: at Hop House Mystic Lake for our Bracket Bash watch parties.
Speaker 1: We tip them off at eleven am. You tip it
Speaker 1: off with AB with Max at eleven am. I'll be
Speaker 1: there at three o'clock with wall to wall action from
Speaker 1: the tournament and your shot at big prizes including sixty
Speaker 1: five inch TV giveaway.
Speaker 2: All the details at KFA dot com calendar.
Speaker 3: You got that right, and it is time.
Speaker 2: It's time.
Speaker 5: It's time for Vikings News on the Power Trip, presented by.
Speaker 2: Joe, Tom Pelosaro, Tom Pilosaro, Marney Gilner. Yes, Tom is
Speaker 2: just telling me he's going to the Wolves game tonight.
Speaker 2: Kid's first game awesome.
Speaker 6: Although the younger one though, was complaining because he's like,
Speaker 6: it's not playing. I don't have another jersey. I'm like, well,
Speaker 6: it's not required. Do you wear a jersey of an
Speaker 6: active player. He will probably be there, he just won't
Speaker 6: be playing basket. I think she deserves a new jersey.
Speaker 2: Yeah about that, she.
Speaker 6: Said you wanted to Dante Divicenzo jersey. I'm like, I
Speaker 6: don't know if that's a good long term play.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bones Highland Jersey. Right now, Bones is playing awesome.
Speaker 7: Everybody do they know the Bones selly If he hits
Speaker 7: a three pointer.
Speaker 6: That celebration going on around That ships the best, it's
Speaker 6: the best.
Speaker 2: Bones is killing it.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 7: Well, he's really fun. He's really fun and genuine and
Speaker 7: genuinely connects with the crowd and the fans.
Speaker 2: So you could feel good about a Bones Highland Jersey.
Speaker 2: There you go, I'll.
Speaker 6: Show you tonight. I don't need to start at seven
Speaker 6: to forty five am.
Speaker 2: Remember when Rosie told you to get Carlos Gomez jersey.
Speaker 2: He was traded like a year and a half chftan
Speaker 2: you will have it, he instigated me. And it's not
Speaker 2: like a like a you know, like a face.
Speaker 1: It was an authentic, like one hundred and fifty dollars
Speaker 1: jersey shot Carlos Gomez.
Speaker 4: He looked like he was the real deal for a
Speaker 4: couple of months there. Yeah, how long do you have
Speaker 4: to wait?
Speaker 2: Though? Until that Jersey then becomes very fun in.
Speaker 6: Other words, Liker to the point where it's like it's
Speaker 6: been five years, so one's like, why in the world
Speaker 6: do you have the authentic Carlos Gomez Jersey.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Sure, Well how about just three months ago this Christmas,
Speaker 4: right before the big quinn Hues trade, my wife was
Speaker 4: buying Christmas presents for the nieces and the nephews.
Speaker 2: And got my nephew Jake a Zeeve Booiham Jersey. Oh no, And.
Speaker 4: Then it was like, well what do we do with this?
Speaker 4: But like I guess just take it. I guess, like
Speaker 4: what are you gonna do with it?
Speaker 6: Like it's because for a year or two it's like
Speaker 6: do you know he's not on the team exactly?
Speaker 2: Then you got to get a certain distance.
Speaker 6: It becomes like a fun like, oh you're wearing that ironically?
Speaker 2: Oh got it? Got it? Sad until it becomes ironic
Speaker 2: and fun. Zeeve Boolliam, what a name. Just when we
Speaker 2: learned how to pronounce it and you got traded?
Speaker 4: All right, we got a lot to talk about. Chris
Speaker 4: wants to get to that contract thing. I'm curious about
Speaker 4: what that's all about. But before that is Viking's news.
Speaker 4: Tom walk us through this. We were all very confused
Speaker 4: yesterday because Kyler Murray's a Viking. For now JJ McCarthy
Speaker 4: is a Viking and now they signed Carson Wentz, which
Speaker 4: confuses because it kind of muddies the what is the
Speaker 4: plan with JJ McCarthy. If you sign a guy like
Speaker 4: Carson who seems to be a guy that like, if
Speaker 4: Kyler is the starter and gets hurt and they want.
Speaker 2: A veteran, then you hand it.
Speaker 4: To Carson probably, And if that's the case, and what
Speaker 4: are you doing with JJ?
Speaker 2: In year three?
Speaker 6: What I would say is twenty twenty two and twenty
Speaker 6: twenty four, when the quarterbacks stayed healthy Kirk and Sam Garnold,
Speaker 6: the Vikings were like twenty five and eleven or something like.
Speaker 2: I mean, a really good record.
Speaker 6: The other two years you had Jaren Hall start a game,
Speaker 6: you had to trade for Josh Dobbs, You ruled out
Speaker 6: Max Brozmer in Seattle. You need three quarterbacks, you need options.
Speaker 6: And so they were always going to add a third guy,
Speaker 6: whether it was you know, bringing in a Flacco or
Speaker 6: somebody of that ilk. They wanted to have a third
Speaker 6: player that they could actually play in a game. So
Speaker 6: this is not this was always intended. This was the
Speaker 6: plan was you know, they were going to bring in
Speaker 6: competition for JJ McCarthy. They also wanted to bring in
Speaker 6: a third quarterback, just so that they're not oh crap,
Speaker 6: we got to trade for somebody, or oh no, we
Speaker 6: got to put somebody out there when they're not ready.
Speaker 6: There's a lot of ways this can go. I don't
Speaker 6: see this going the way of Carson Wentz as the
Speaker 6: week one starter. It's much more likely that this is
Speaker 6: all right if Kyler beats out JJ, JJ's probably the two.
Speaker 2: Carson's the three.
Speaker 6: If it's not a fit for Kyler in the system
Speaker 6: and JJ beats him out, JJ starts. Now you're figuring out,
Speaker 6: all right, is Kyler the two? Are you trading Kyler?
Speaker 6: Are you elevating Wentz? But it's not a Carson Wentz.
Speaker 6: This is not bearing on JJ McCarthy so much as
Speaker 6: it is they wanted to have optionality with the room.
Speaker 6: There's a lot of different things that can happen between
Speaker 6: now in September or now in January. This just is
Speaker 6: from one more guy who played pretty well in the system.
Speaker 6: Kevin O'Connell loves Wentz. The shoulder that was, you know,
Speaker 6: falling off his body at the end of the year
Speaker 6: when he wanted to play. Let's emphasize this, he wanted
Speaker 6: to play. The doctor said he wasn't going to make
Speaker 6: it worse. He ended up having surgery like that's healed now.
Speaker 6: So it's a low risk type of an addition to
Speaker 6: the room where you're probably going to carry three quarterbacks
Speaker 6: on the active roster because of what you've seen.
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty three and twenty twenty five. That makes sense.
Speaker 4: So I truly believe because I don't. But maybe again
Speaker 4: you can feel the skepticism in the world. You're pretty
Speaker 4: tapped it. I don't believe this.
Speaker 2: Is an actual quarterback competition.
Speaker 4: I think it's Kyler because I don't think you bring
Speaker 4: him in and you can say we're not going to
Speaker 4: name him the starter, but I don't think you bring
Speaker 4: him in. I don't think he wants to come here
Speaker 4: unless he thinks he's starting Week one.
Speaker 6: No, I mean he's definitely coming in with that mentality.
Speaker 6: But it is going to be a competition. Kyler hasn't
Speaker 6: played in this offense before. It may be a hit,
Speaker 6: it may work out great, it may work out not
Speaker 6: so great. We don't know that. And because he's on
Speaker 6: a minimum deal, you're not really taking any type of
Speaker 6: financial risk by bringing him in. For Kyler, this is
Speaker 6: always the spot he wanted to come, and people wonder like,
Speaker 6: why why couldn't they trade him?
Speaker 2: Why couldn't they get anything for him?
Speaker 6: Because Kyler would have just said no to re's doing
Speaker 6: his contract to facilitate a trade, even if it was, Hey,
Speaker 6: the other team's go pick up five million, three million, whatever,
Speaker 6: kind of like we saw Gino Smith and Justin Fields
Speaker 6: in those trades. Kyler would just go, no, I'm out
Speaker 6: forty million dollars. I want to go to Minnesota, Like
Speaker 6: that's where I want to go. He could veto a
Speaker 6: trade virtually anywhere else. Maybe if Atlanta had an opening,
Speaker 6: that would have been a consideration, but they obviously went
Speaker 6: and got to it because they wanted him in Penix.
Speaker 6: For Kyler, this is the best opportunity for him to play.
Speaker 6: He had a really good coach, to win a job
Speaker 6: in his mind that he's going to do and then
Speaker 6: hit free agency again in twenty twenty seven. Which was
Speaker 6: the key part of that contract was that he had
Speaker 6: a no tag clause in it as well. But we
Speaker 6: don't know that if this works out as well as
Speaker 6: the Vikings and Kyler are hoping that it could, maybe
Speaker 6: you're signing Kyler. Maybe that's your long term quarterback, and
Speaker 6: maybe you found the answer. But he's going to have
Speaker 6: the power because he's got the no tag clause to
Speaker 6: control his future beyond this season. But it also might
Speaker 6: just go you know what, this doesn't really fit. Kyler
Speaker 6: is really good in terms of creating things off schedule.
Speaker 6: He's never played in like a precision type of an
Speaker 6: offense like you have with Kevin O'Connell. He grew up
Speaker 6: in the air Raid. He played under Cliff Kingsbury. He
Speaker 6: played with Dry Petsiing who runs stuff with similar concepts.
Speaker 6: But it's still not exactly the same as Kevin O'Connell
Speaker 6: because O'Connell's system, like it's a misnomer to say it's
Speaker 6: the carbon copy Kyle Shanahan Sean mcva system, Like it's
Speaker 6: a blend of different things. Kevin trained under you know,
Speaker 6: Jay Gruden, he was a Bill Belichick. He's been with
Speaker 6: a lot of different people. So let's see, it could
Speaker 6: go really well for Kyler, it could go not so well.
Speaker 6: JJ could come and be the same guy, or JJ
Speaker 6: could be vastly improved.
Speaker 3: What do you think is he going to work in
Speaker 3: this offense? If you had to make a prediction right now,
Speaker 3: do you see it working.
Speaker 6: I mean, if he's if he's fully healthy, he brings
Speaker 6: a dimension to the game that you just don't normally get,
Speaker 6: which is, you know, the elusiveness. We've seen JJ obviously
Speaker 6: use his legs some too, but Kyler is is rare
Speaker 6: in that regard. He wasn't healthy last year. He hurt
Speaker 6: his foot, didn't need surgery, so he'll be fully healthy
Speaker 6: and ready to roll.
Speaker 2: So i'd say hawk. I mean, I think that.
Speaker 6: The odds are better than you know, more likely than
Speaker 6: not that it's going to fit.
Speaker 2: But you just don't know.
Speaker 6: And you know, there's a big emphasis too on like
Speaker 6: they want to play a certain style of football, and
Speaker 6: they want to play defense, they want to protect the football.
Speaker 6: If Kyler's a turnover machine getting used to this thing
Speaker 6: in the preseason, it might be like, you know what,
Speaker 6: we feel better about. But JJ's got to say in
Speaker 6: this I think that everybody's just going, well, it's all right,
Speaker 6: they signed Wenz, that's the end of JJ. They're cruly getting.
Speaker 6: I don't believe that at all. Everything I've been told,
Speaker 6: And of course Kevin's on the record saying, you know,
Speaker 6: organizations fail young quarterbacks, for young quarterbacks fail organizations. Is
Speaker 6: it the worst thing in the world. If Kyler wins
Speaker 6: the job and JJ spends this year, is the two
Speaker 6: learning actually being able to take reps in practice healthy?
Speaker 6: He's not been healthy his entire career in Minnesota. I mean,
Speaker 6: you know, the meniscus injury that costs his whole first year,
Speaker 6: the second procedure on the meniscus, then last year, he's
Speaker 6: got three different injuries, misses. Most of the he hasn't
Speaker 6: played football. He hasn't practiced football. I only it's the
Speaker 6: worst thing in the world to say, you know what,
Speaker 6: we still believe in the guy, but he's got a
Speaker 6: lot of growing to do. Maybe not having all the
Speaker 6: pressure on him to be the guy isn't the worst thing.
Speaker 6: So I've sitting here right now and listen, there's a
Speaker 6: lot of things that happen in the NFL every year.
Speaker 6: Sitting here right now, I believe all three of these
Speaker 6: guys are on the roster in September. I can't tell
Speaker 6: you for sure who's going to be QB one, but
Speaker 6: I'd say, if I were guessing, Carson Wentz is more
Speaker 6: likely to be QB three than anything. Because these are
Speaker 6: the two guys you're going into camp with and going
Speaker 6: we want to find out which one of these guys
Speaker 6: are going to rise to the top.
Speaker 1: What does it say about McCarthy though, If a guy
Speaker 1: who's never been in this offense beats him out on
Speaker 1: the beats him out of the job, is it just
Speaker 1: pure talent by Kyle was.
Speaker 2: The number one pick in the draft? No Bowl.
Speaker 6: I mean that's he's a rare, rare ability. Yeah, he's
Speaker 6: really accurate with the football. Again that the off schedule
Speaker 6: play creating and the elusiveness, the way that he can run.
Speaker 6: And that's an appreciation depreciating Nasset too. Like Kyler may
Speaker 6: not be running as well now as he did in
Speaker 6: twenty nineteen, but he's still pretty good and pretty you know,
Speaker 6: unique in terms of what he brings to the table. Again,
Speaker 6: from what I've understood, JJ is going to spend more
Speaker 6: time this saw season, even working with Justin Jefferson, He's
Speaker 6: going to be putting in that time. They're not going
Speaker 6: to try to fix the entire thing at once, but
Speaker 6: there are things mechanically and otherwise they wanted to do.
Speaker 6: And it's also just I mean, JJ a lot going
Speaker 6: on in his life last year, maybe certain things can
Speaker 6: settle down, Maybe he can figure out I mean, you
Speaker 6: have a baby in September and you're twenty two years
Speaker 6: old and you're QB one after missing your whole first year, Like,
Speaker 6: it's a lot. I'm not making excuses for the guy.
Speaker 6: It's just like that's a lot on anybody's shoulders. Maybe
Speaker 6: with another year out, it's like, all right, you can
Speaker 6: figure out where you might need help and to kind
Speaker 6: of ease some of the strain around your life. And
Speaker 6: then on the field, how do you better take care
Speaker 6: of your body and not take unnecessary hits, you know,
Speaker 6: just try to you know, put it all the work
Speaker 6: in the off season to be as healthy as you
Speaker 6: can be.
Speaker 2: That's been as much of the issue for JJ as anything.
Speaker 6: I know that he's become extremely mimable nationally and everybody
Speaker 6: wants to make jokes about nine and all that, and like,
Speaker 6: I get it. I've brought it up to JJ before.
Speaker 6: He's not unaware that those things are out there. But
Speaker 6: you control that by coming out and just performing more consistently.
Speaker 6: Because we've seen I know, I said one hundred times
Speaker 6: on this show last season, like we've seen the really
Speaker 6: good the Detroit games, like he can do that, but
Speaker 6: the bad can't be this bad and you can't have
Speaker 6: these massive swings. That's the stuff that when you're as
Speaker 6: consistent as Kevin O'Connell is and the defense is pretty consistent,
Speaker 6: the other aspects of the program are pretty consistent, you
Speaker 6: can't have the quarterback, the most important player on the field,
Speaker 6: having these wild swings because it just it creates chaos
Speaker 6: within the program, and that's what they want to mitigate.
Speaker 7: Do you think we have seen the best of Kyler Murray?
Speaker 7: Is that as good as he gets at the NFL level?
Speaker 7: Or can we see a better version in Minnesota?
Speaker 6: Well that's say yes, that's a great point because the
Speaker 6: systems he's been in, the air raid offense, we've seen
Speaker 6: it have success at some levels, but it's never been
Speaker 6: really sustainable. I know there's a long history. Cliff's a
Speaker 6: good coach, but like his first two years in Arizona
Speaker 6: were much better than what it was at the end,
Speaker 6: his first year in Washington was much better than it
Speaker 6: was last year, and that was related to Jaden being
Speaker 6: hurt and a bunch of other injuries all around. The
Speaker 6: team was not all on Cliff, but there's not like
Speaker 6: a long term staying success of running narright offense in
Speaker 6: the NFL. Kevin's offense has shown you can have success
Speaker 6: doing it, and so Kyler, you can at least argue,
Speaker 6: is it a better offense than he's been. He's around
Speaker 6: a collective organization that has stability and resources that it's
Speaker 6: not always been the case in Arizona.
Speaker 2: There is something in there. Otherwise this would not have been.
Speaker 6: You know, one of the top things on Kevin's to
Speaker 6: do list in this offseason was.
Speaker 2: Given Kyler a shot.
Speaker 6: Would they love to get Daniel Jones back here, Absolutely,
Speaker 6: but they weren't going to give him one hundred million
Speaker 6: dollars over two years like the Colt Stith and the
Speaker 6: Colts had his rights because they transition tagged and they
Speaker 6: could have matched, So they weren't at it involved in that.
Speaker 6: You know, would they have been unt interested in Malik
Speaker 6: Willis at some point I think they would have been.
Speaker 6: But beyond that, it was like Kyler gave you upside
Speaker 6: that these other guys didn't. We talked about could Kirk
Speaker 6: come back, talked about Gino Smith, and there's scenarios where
Speaker 6: those guys are Flacco all those guys could have been back,
Speaker 6: but Kyler is still twenty eight.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 6: I mean he's still in the prime of his career.
Speaker 6: Put him in the best offense possible where he's got
Speaker 6: and he's not motivated by money.
Speaker 2: He has played.
Speaker 6: He's making thirty nine million dollars this year, thirty six
Speaker 6: million dollars because the Cardinals are all that money, but
Speaker 6: he's auto minimum deal with the Vikings. He's got the
Speaker 6: opportunity to be the number one free agent in twenty
Speaker 6: twenty seven.
Speaker 2: You're going to get the most motivated Kyler Murray you've
Speaker 2: ever had.
Speaker 6: People say that as a guy, he's really grown a
Speaker 6: lot from his early days. I do think that the
Speaker 6: best could be out there for Kyler Murray. But what
Speaker 6: it's going to look like in this offense, it remains
Speaker 6: to be seen. Because he's not run something like this before.
Speaker 6: He's not worked with receivers like Justin Jefferson and Jordan
Speaker 6: Addison before. It's going to be absolutely fascinated all the
Speaker 6: way through training camp.
Speaker 2: You are electric.
