33
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: some guys I'm like. Of course, I like our guy.

34
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: I like t J for sure. And he's one of

35
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 2: the guys that I that I that I watch and

36
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: he's carrying on uh that that tradition of excellent vikings

37
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: tight ends. I like, uh, you know, and he's not

38
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 2: much of a blocker, but Pitts I like Pitts in

39
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 2: in Atlanta. You know, he doesn't really do much blocking

40
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 2: with more like a big a big receiver, but I

41
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 2: like what he can do down the field. What about

42
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 2: the kid uh in Oakland out of Georgia Bowers. Yeah,

43
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 2: he's to me, he's he's like the next guy. He's

44
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: up and coming. He's so athletic. He can just do

45
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 2: so much and he's just such such a threat. So

46
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: those are some of the guys that I really watch.

47
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: And the the LA Chargers have a tight end named

48
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: Ronde Gadsden. The second now Byron played when Ronde's father

49
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 1: played wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins. Ronde gads did him, uh,

50
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: and and his son the second that young man Byron

51
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: just went for like one seventy and one is the

52
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: Syracuse rookie. Do you know anything about this Ronde Gadsden

53
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: the second, Yes, I do.

54
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: And you know, like you said, I I know his

55
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 2: father played in the same era as his father, and

56
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: I got a chance to uh cover him when he

57
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: was at Syracuse. I did the game when Syracuse played

58
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 2: Western Michigan a couple of years ago. And he's just

59
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: you know, just watching film on him, just so athletic.

60
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 4: Uh.

61
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: He's the guy that creates some mismatch problems.

62
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 5: Uh.

63
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 2: You know, we talked about Pitts down in in Atlanta.

64
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 2: Similar to him, He's not gonna wow you with this blocking,

65
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: but he blocks just enough. But he's the guy that

66
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: in that passing game, he's gonna he's gonna create mismatches.

67
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: He's a guy that can take it down the field,

68
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 2: down the scene, so so you can you can uh

69
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: really get big plays and become a threat at the

70
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: tight end position. So got a chance, like I said, uh,

71
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 2: you know, to to cover him a couple of years

72
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: ago when he was at Syracuse be.

73
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 3: Seeing Byron Chamberlin.

74
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: Uh does does anybody care about the Chargers in southern California?

75
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 2: Absolutely not. Uh. You know the thing about it is,

76
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 2: you know people still look at them as the San

77
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: Diego Chargers, and a lot of people in this town think, hey,

78
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: they're not our team. You know, the Rams you know,

79
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 2: coming back from Saint Louis years ago. Uh, they had

80
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 2: a built in fan base here that never left. And

81
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: everybody knows this. This is a when it comes to football,

82
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: it's a Rams town. It's a it's a USC Trojan town. Uh.

83
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 2: And and the other sports are it's a Lakers town,

84
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 2: and it's a Dodgers town for sure. Uh and and

85
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 2: uh the Charges are kind of like the misfit toys.

86
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: You know, they're you know, nobody wants to play with.

87
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: So you know, it's tough for them. It's been tougher

88
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 2: to them to build a fan base here in l A.

89
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: Your Dodgers out Chavez Ravine way, They're they're favored to

90
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: win the World Series for a second consecutive yere, then

91
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: you got Lebron and Luca and the Lakers. Lebron didn't

92
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: play last night. Luca had just a massive, massive game,

93
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: but they still lost to the Golden State Warriors. So

94
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: who would you say overall is the more popular team

95
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: and why the Dodgers are Lakers?

96
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 2: Oh, it's definitely the Dodgers. It's definitely the Dodgers. And

97
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 2: it's not even close right now. You know, one of

98
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: the things about l A, Uh, it's a town where

99
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 2: you gotta win championships to get people's attention, or you

100
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 2: got to compete for championships. And right now, I guess

101
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 2: the Lakers are just not on that on that playing field,

102
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 2: on that level right now, and the Dodgers are, and uh,

103
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: you know, this whole town is going crazy with the

104
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 2: chance of the Dodgers to win it. You know, you

105
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 2: definitely you've definitely seen a lot of of energy and

106
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 2: a lot of just this attention being paid to the

107
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 2: Dodgers right now. And this this this is truly it's

108
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 2: truly a Dodgers town, so everybody's excited about the upcoming

109
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 2: World Series. I think we start on Friday, so it's

110
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 2: a big deal out here.

111
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: Byron Chamberlain is a two time Super Bowl winner as

112
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: a tight end for the Denver Broncos. After that portion

113
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: of his career, he landed with the Minnesota Vikings. That's

114
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: how I got to know him, and we've stayed in

115
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: touch over the years. I recently saw him at Tottenham

116
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: Hotspur Stadium and here he is doing a covenant catchup

117
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: as we head to his part of the part of

118
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: the country, southern California where Byron lives for the Chargers

119
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: tomorrow night seven fifteen Central on KFA in and back

120
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: to Sofi Stadium and the Rams and the Chargers for

121
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: a seconds. As a player, all right, how would it

122
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: feel if you played for either of the Rams or

123
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,119
Speaker 1: the Chargers and you have a home game and say,

124
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: the Niners or Chiefs fans dominate the building every single season?

125
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 3: Wouldn't that bug you?

126
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: I think people, that's just the way it is out here.

127
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, we're We're a city where a

128
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 2: lot of people come from other places and to for

129
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 2: whatever reasons, whether they're coming for the entertainment industry or

130
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: coming for just new opportunities. So we got a lot

131
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 2: of people from a lot of different places. And when

132
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 2: they come out here, whether they're they're coming out here

133
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: from from Chicago or Minneapolis or or Cleveland or whatever,

134
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 2: they bring their their loyalty and with their teams with them,

135
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 2: so they show up in our stadiums and it's kind

136
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: of it's kind of funny, especially with the with the charges.

137
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 2: I mean, the joke is it's it's always the other

138
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 2: team's home game, right, because there are a lot of

139
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 2: a lot of fans from a you know. And then

140
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,559
Speaker 2: and then the other part is a lot of people

141
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 2: come out here just for that game. They plan their

142
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: vacations around it uh to make to come out to

143
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 2: California for that. So it's a weird situation to be

144
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 2: the home team and and the stands look like you're

145
00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 2: the visiting team.

146
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,520

157
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: It's going to be to me, it's the game of

158
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 2: the week. And whoever you know, wins this game between

159
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: Missouri and Vanderbilt will probably have an inside track on

160
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 2: one of the playoff spots. So it's kind of a

161
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 2: weird thing to say. It's been a weird kind of

162
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 2: college football season. So I'm looking for a huge game

163
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 2: with with the with the the Tigers and the and

164
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 2: UH and Vandy. You know, they have a they're making

165
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 2: a Heis And Trophy candidacy for their quarterback Diego Pavia

166
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 2: and and and he deserves it. He deserves it. He's,

167
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 2: like I said, he's done some things and led that

168
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 2: that organ that team to some unprecedented success overall.

169
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: So when when when you when you played for the

170
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: Vikings for those couple of years, uh, you had a

171
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: teammate who played on defense. Who was really really good

172
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: at Vanderbilt. Do you remember who it was?

173
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 3: Oh, Man, I'll give you a hint.

174
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: Defensive back. One season he had eight or nine interceptions.

175
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: Here's your final hint. He was known, uh, he was

176
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: known for his college film watching skills and would always

177
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: walk around with.

178
00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 2: The yeah Vanderbilt legend.

179
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 3: He was fantastic and and.

180
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 2: I got to know I got to know Corey actually

181
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 2: when he was in college at Vanderbilt. His uncle was

182
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 2: a was a big time Barney Broncos legend, Barney Tabish

183
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 2: and was one of our on our coaching staff when

184
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 2: I was with our two time Super Bowl championship team.

185
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 2: And so Corey would come out and work out with us,

186
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 2: and he'd be on the field and picking our brain

187
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 2: and trying to cover ed McCaffrey at Rod Smith. Yeah,

188
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 2: And so he would spend his summers out there in

189
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 2: Denver with us. So got to know him very very well.

190
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 2: Became a very very close friend, and I totally faced

191
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 2: on he was with the Vanderbilt Yeah, very intelligent guy.

192
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: I think I think Corey when he was in middle

193
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: school or high school and Barney was on the coaching

194
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: staff for the Broncos. Corey may have shut down in

195
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: a practice a receiver named Haven Moses, but I had

196
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: to remy Haven might have been sixty eight years old.

197
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 3: I always love that at that time.

198
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 2: All right.

199
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: Lastly, uh, with like back in the day at Missouri.

200
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: All right, so you're gonna have a career that gets

201
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: you to the National Football League, which is hard and

202
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen for most people. So clearly you were

203
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: very good. How would N I L have worked out

204
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: for you back in the day at Missouri?

205
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 6: I mean, oh my god, like would would would you

206
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 6: have gotten fat stacks of of like gift certificates or

207
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 6: money from c C City broiler, c.

208
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 2: C City CC City Broiler. I would want mine from

209
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 2: Shakespeare's Pizza. That's probably I was my my certificate from.

210
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 2: But yeah, you know, you know, born just born in

211
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 2: a different era. I love I love N I L.

212
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 2: I love what it's doing for some of you know,

213
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 2: these players, and a lot of these players come from

214
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 2: situations where their families really are being helped with this

215
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 2: nil money. The only thing that I think is, you know,

216
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 2: there should be some guardrails around it. It's the it's

217
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 2: the the N I I mean it's it's kind of

218
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 2: the wild wild West right now. And there just needs

219
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 2: to be some guardrails around the n I L and

220
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 2: and and the combination of the transfer portal.

221
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 4: And uh.

222
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 2: But but I love that the players are benefiting now.

223
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 2: I love that they, like I said, it is helping

224
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 2: some of these families. That there's only these people kids

225
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 2: who are coming from from desperate situations. So uh, you know,

226
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 2: more power to it. I think I would have made

227
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 2: a couple of bucks here there.

228
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 3: Uh b b C b C.

229
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: That was a fantastic covenant catch up uh for the

230
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: public on k F A M. We'll do the same

231

Speaker 3: Holded Micup Parsons, bring it.

268
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: On this set of downs, Wayne Larvie, the Dagger on

269
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: the Packers ever expanding audio network.

270
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 5: How about the Micah Parsons Project. Yeah, Alan Parsons styles.

271
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 5: Brilliant little bit there by larav.

272
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: I wrote that into the Tolstoy Monday, And when I

273
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: wrote it in it was copyright Wayne Laravie. Because as

274
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: I was mowing and chopping the leaves and everything this

275
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: weekend when fan line would go to break, I would

276
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: listen to Packers Arizona and I heard Laravi unfurl the

277
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons Project. Copyright the Dagger and Micah is that

278
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: of identity?

279
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 3: Okay, the so is justin Jefferson. We'll get to the

280
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 3: Vikings momentarily.

281
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: But the Packers, as they await their quarterback taking taking

282
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: another step from whether you want to say from good

283
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: to very good, very good to elite, you can frame

284
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: it up however you want. They're waiting for him to

285
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: take the next step. They're working through some offensive line situations.

286
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: Josh Jacob scores two times every single game, but he's

287
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: battling some injuries. Their first round receiver Golden with Dobbs

288
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: and Dontavian Wicks and Tuckerkraft is the bomb. But can

289
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: you really say that identifies Green Bay Packers football in

290
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five?

291
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 3: I can.

292
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: What I can say is Michael Parsons just had three sacks.

293
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: And you just don't get traded from the team that

294
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: brush you into the league and immediately become Laurence Taylor

295
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: out of the gate.

296
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 3: It takes time.

297
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: Well, the identity of the Green Bay Packers is becoming

298
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: that of a ferocious pass rushing defense that has some

299
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: corners and safeties like K nine guy Keishawn Nixon or

300
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: say Evan Williams where I think they believe they probably

301
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: can do better. But when you pay the quarterback, which

302
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: you pay the quarterback, then you can't exactly go out

303
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: there and try to get the Sauce Cad Gardeners of

304
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: the world until the ledger evens out. So that pass

305
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: rush is super important to them for myriad reasons. But

306
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: the pass rushing excellence of the Green Bay Packers, with

307
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: the likes of Michael Parsons, Rashan Gary and Edge and Cooper,

308
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: that has become their identity, and it's a good identity.

309
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: What about the Lions and this guy.

310
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 3: Down hands to severity. There it goes put race right side.

311
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 3: You've got no shot at catching that man cut fun

312
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 3: hend zone touchdown, Detroit Lions.

313
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 7: Seventy eight yards of faults of lightning, and the Lions

314
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 7: are extra portaway from doubling up their lead.

315
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: The division champions, the reigning division champions, drip identity. We

316
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: put the Gibbs highlight in there. It could have been

317
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: Aman Ross Aint Brown. Yeah, it could have been Aiden Hutchinson.

318
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: It could have been branch and or Joseph doing something.

319
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: They drip identity. Their quarterback has been to the Super Bowl,

320
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: and you know, for the most part, is pretty solid,

321
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: pretty sound, and pretty consistent. So the Lions, they have

322
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: identity all over the place, ma'am. Then you get to

323
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears with their new coach Ben Johnson. The

324
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: Bears have settled into beloved Bjays bust you up style.

325
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 2: And four yards behind him is Banung Guy.

326
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 3: Motion right is loveling give.

327
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 5: Tubanun guy slitting in pour the touchdown touchdown. Bears had

328
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 5: the first career rushing touchdown.

329
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 3: For Kyle Banung Guy.

330
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 5: Only a yard, but it expands the lead to nineteen nothing.

331
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: When I say Ben Johnson has his team is settling

332
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: into its identity that's beloved Bjay's bust you up style

333
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: with the running game. Anybody happened to know what's happened

334
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: with the Bears running game the last two games. Anybody

335
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: have any idea, because this stuff takes time when you

336
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 1: have new coaches and new quarterbacks and new schemes and

337
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: new expectations and new cultures. The Chicago Bears in the

338
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 1: last two games have run for three hundred and forty

339
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 1: six yards both wins. He's raising a quarterback. He's raising

340
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: a quarterback who never played under center and turned his

341
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: back onto defense via play action.

342
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 3: He's working with.

343
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,959
Speaker 1: That guy to he's getting the bust you in the

344
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 1: face style of running game. And by the way, they've

345
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: won both those games where they've run for the three

346
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: forty six he's getting that squared away as he raises

347
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: the quarterback to take pressure off the quarterback as they

348
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: have him do things he's never done. It's coming together.

349
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: The running game with the Chicago Bears is identifiable to

350
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: what Ben Johnson wants to do here or in Detroit,

351
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: and then play off of it. So they have an identity.

352
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: What about the Minnesota Vikings, what's their identity? I mean,

353
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 1: no takeaways three games in a row, not sacking with

354
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: the new interior guys. And I said, new Jalen Redmond's

355
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: the best defensive lineman they have, but he was sacked.

356
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: He's been sacking all year. But the new guys not

357
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: sacking with new interior guys or from the edge, sans

358
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: gingk sans Van Ginkel fixed the run defense and Jalen

359
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 1: went for a perfect passer rating. Ballyhooed kid quarterbacks not playing.

360
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: New guy makes his debut and leaves fans wanting more.

361
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: Talking about Carson Wentz with like a thirty eight point

362
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: victory against Sincy. Fans left us Bank Stadium knew they

363
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: weren't going to see their favorite team for a month

364
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: and Carson along with others, but Carson in his debut

365
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: left them wanting more. It's been topsy turvy ever since.

366
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: And both quarterbacks we have both quarterbacks the Vikings have

367
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 1: used this year outside of the mop up with the Throsmer,

368
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: both quarterbacks have thrown pick sixes. So the kicker is fantastic,

369
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: but the kicker can't be the identity, So what's the identity?

370
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: Free iHeart Audio talkback. He got up to thirty seconds.

371
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: We'll pause now, drop in some talkbacks and I'll share

372
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: with you what moving forward. I believe the identity will

373
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: and maybe has to be. But that's around the corner

374
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: on KFA.

375
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,960

Speaker 1: iHeart Audio app and leave a talkback. We The question

383
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: was identify the Minnesota Vikings three and three define what

384
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: their identity is into this Chargers game.

385
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 4: Hey ba Hey, Nordo, Max Reveigan Again. I think their

386
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 4: record perfectly describes what this is. They're just average. We're

387
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 4: three and three because we will win half of our

388
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 4: games and we will lose half of our games if

389
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 4: we keep playing the way we're playing. We make good plays,

390
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 4: we make bad plays. We played well on defense, we

391
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 4: play bad on defense. It's just how this Viking team

392
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 4: is and that's how it's going to be the whole season.

393
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, we're just average.

394
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,479
Speaker 1: So yeah through six, uh defined pretty accurately through six

395
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: through six teams with some of the players this team

396
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: has on it injured or not not supposed to be

397
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 1: of the average variety like eight to nine or nine

398
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: and eight at the end of the equation.

399
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 3: What's next?

400
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 7: Hey, Pa, It's Annie from Saint Anthony and I'm calling

401
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 7: in to answer your question about the Vikings current.

402
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 8: Identity as a team.

403
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 7: And my take is that we're playing the long game.

404
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 7: That's our identity at this point.

405
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 9: I don't think we give enough credit to choc and

406
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 9: leadership to really foster JJ so that we can define

407
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 9: our identity as a winning team in the future.

408
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: Well done, because they are playing the long game, having

409
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 1: to wait for the quarterback. So the quarterback healthy, throwing

410
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: pick sixes or four touchdowns against zero interceptions a game,

411
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy, that is the long game. That it's not

412
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: everything in the ultimate team game, but it's a lot

413
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: because a big investment was made into him and it's

414
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: age old.

415
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 3: If you can keep, if you can.

416
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: Hit on these quarterbacks and have them for five years

417
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: on quasi team friendly deals and four to five the village.

418
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: I mean, that's how you get to end or win

419
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. That's the long game. That truly is

420
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: the identity of the Minnesota Vikings. The long game with

421
00:23:55,119 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy. Yeah, and being in you know, more of

422
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: a game by game or like you know, from three

423
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: to three after this Chargers game, just like on the field,

424
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,479
Speaker 1: what do we think the identity is? That'd be different,

425
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: but the over arching identity and Andy laid it out nicely.

426
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 3: What's next?

427
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 8: Apa Tim from Shreview, I think we need to channel

428
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 8: our inner Hall and Oates to identify the identity of

429
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 8: the Vikings. Shake it up as all that we know

430
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 8: using bodies up as we go, I'm waking up to fantasy.

431
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 8: The shades all around are the colors we used to see.

432
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 8: You're out of touch, I'm out of time. Let's start

433
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 8: the kid school.

434
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: Just for the time you put into that to Actually,

435
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to guess that you had to hit the

436
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: Google machine for out of touch lyrics. Shake it up

437
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: all that we know? That was really cool and multiple

438
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: bodies because of the injuries. Very well done there, what

439
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 1: about it having to be the passing game. You drip

440
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: identity with Jefferson and Addison, and Naylor gets open more

441
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: than he doesn't. Other than the fourth quarter at Soldier Field,

442
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati game, or the Addison drive at Tottenham. There's

443
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: been nothing identifiable with this group and that just has

444
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: to change. Yeah, last year they took it from you

445
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: and scored with it. That's an identity. They sacked you

446
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,479
Speaker 1: and battered you and bludgeoned you and forced you to

447
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 1: throw it to him and Van ginkle would get to

448
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: the house. That's an identity. Well, we're lacking van Ginkole,

449
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: which means from that facet, you're lacking identity. Instead of

450
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: a an identity crisis, we need to establish identisty.

451
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 3: Identity lisis.

452
00:25:53,800 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: Lisis lisus as in the disintegration of a cell by

453
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 1: rupture of the cell wall or membrane.

454
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 3: I always love that Google.

455
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you talk about finding words are rhyme

456
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 1: with crisis, and they're trying to push basis on me.

457
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 3: That ain't gonna happen.

458
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: Instead of an identity crisis, we need to establish identity lisis. Yep,

459
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 1: it's time to start blowing up cells. Cell walls and membranes.

460
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: That's the only answer identity, lisis, let's just tear up

461
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: those charger cells, rip up those cell walls, and get

462
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 1: into the insane in the membrane.

463
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 3: I always love that one. It's the only answer.

464
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: If we lose tomorrow night, If the Vikings lose tomorrow

465
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 1: night and all all others in the division win, our

466
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: problem just becomes larger. I mean, now we're approaching the

467
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: midway point of the season and.

468
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 3: The charge are so beatable.

469
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: We're three enough point underdogs in this game, so I'm

470
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: just spitballing here, Like if an identity transpires tomorrow night.

471
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: The Chargers have at least statistically a pretty good, if

472
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 1: not really good pass defense. Derwin James, one of their

473
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: safeties is the Bomb. What a phenomenal player and career

474
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 1: he's had. So maybe this is putting valor is the

475
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: better order of discretion. But your best players are wide

476
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: receivers and your head coach is pretty good with his

477
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: throwing schemes.

478
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 3: So I don't know. Maybe it's the passing game. What

479
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 3: do you think for identity?

480
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 5: The con Well, I I get where you're that is

481
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 5: the identity of this team. Sadly, right now is the

482
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 5: star power that it has at its fingertips, that being

483
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 5: Justin Jefferson, the ability of a of a Jordan Addison,

484
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 5: and so that is the quickest route to finding it. Yeah,

485
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 5: last year you had a team that led the led

486
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 5: the NFL in turnovers the defense that could be an

487
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 5: identifiable point no takes in the last three. This is

488
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 5: a team with that pass rush win healthy from a

489
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 5: pressure rate perspective, success in an all pro type season

490
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 5: for an Andrew van Ginkle, that's off the table. The

491
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,880
Speaker 5: identity of this team is inconsistency. And there we heard

492
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 5: it through the talkbacks, varying ways of how to put it,

493
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 5: the ups and downs you heard from Annie and and

494
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 5: just kind of the three and three. There's another talkback

495
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 5: that just said the Vikings identity right now, they're basically

496
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 5: an average Lions team that we're built in similar ways,

497
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 5: but that stuff is working in Motown. Our stuff is

498
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 5: now working in Minneapolis. Their inability to do the things

499
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 5: they did so well a year ago. The inconsistency, I

500
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 5: think is that that's our identity right now. I don't

501
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 5: know if they can get to that passing game that

502
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 5: you want. I'm excited for JJ to get healthy, and

503
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 5: we're going to get to see him at some point.

504
00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 5: I'm going to root for Carson tomorrow night, absolutely that

505
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 5: he throws for four hundred and four against the Bolts.

506
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 3: I don't know if we can get to that.

507
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 5: Where we can say, well we're four and three, or

508
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 5: even if we're three and four. But man, we know,

509
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 5: under the right circumstances, if we get a right play,

510
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 5: we can support this identity, which is we're high flying

511
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 5: through the air. The coach wants to pass. He's doing

512
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 5: everything he can do to make that our identity. I

513
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 5: don't know if we have I don't know if we

514
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 5: have the right option under center right now. Inconsistency for

515
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 5: me is the name of the sadly, the name of

516
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 5: a three and three game.

517
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: Yep, that's that that that would be the identity out

518
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: of inconsistency. We we we detailed it a little bit Monday,

519
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: you know, after the after the montage.

520
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 5: But it's like you can't beg it. You know, I've

521
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 5: done this, like, man, I wish they ran the ball more. Well,

522
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 5: you can play that, you know, you can think that,

523
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 5: and you can you can look in certain aspects like

524
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 5: they're They're never It's never going to be the identity

525
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 5: of this team, right, I think it's fair to say

526
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 5: that that how this offense is constructed, it's never going

527
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 5: to be Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason. That dueling attack

528
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 5: is the identity of the Vikings. I think it can

529
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 5: very quickly shift, however, where defense, despite offensive minded head coach,

530
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 5: if the sacks start coming and the turnovers start coming,

531
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 5: you can start to have that conversation again. As I know,

532
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 5: as tough as it was to watch Jalen Hurts do

533
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 5: what he did, perfect passer rating and everything, I think that.

534
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 3: Can start to become your identity again.

535
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 5: So whether it's air attack at its finest or potentially

536
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 5: defense starts taking it again, starts you know, killing qbs again,

537
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 5: I think that is another pathway, hopefully to victories and

538
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 5: consistency from the purple.

539
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: Beautifully stated and more of the twenty twenty five Minnesota

540
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: Vikings identity or lack thereof, will be revealed tomorrow evening

541
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: at seven fifteen with the Boom. And by the way,

542
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,400
