Speaker 5: Not wrong, Oh my heavens, he's not wrong.
Speaker 3: Legitimate shocked face. That was a literal.

Speaker 6: peeking over the stall and watching you go to the bathroom.

Speaker 4: He was hanging out with Woody Harrelson at City's ninety
Speaker 4: seven and they didn't have shirts on it.

Speaker 3: it's a true story.
Speaker 4: I swear to guy like all cut, like muscular, like

Speaker 6: Yeah, because either Woody or Steve or both was connected
Speaker 6: to that frat.

Speaker 5: a trip.
Speaker 6: Can you imagine what he heralds and the guy from
Speaker 6: three Minute and a Baby?

Speaker 4: I can't see it either way, glasses on, glasses off.
Speaker 4: I can't see anything anymore.
Speaker 10: Wonderful. Uh yeah, seeing Tim and Todd Brooks Lever was there.
Speaker 3: You were there.
Speaker 10: I got there as they were basically cleaning up. That's
Speaker 10: the earliest I could get there, because you know, I
Speaker 10: had a TV show that I was hosting until seven o'clock,
Speaker 10: but fantastic seeing everybody appreciate all bank as always yep.
Speaker 4: And we'll get to the the the give the Donation
Speaker 4: partner momentarily and talk about who we're gonna help charity
Speaker 4: wise this but Ben football, Let's talk Tom in football.
Speaker 6: Hey, Tom, can I ask you a question that we
Speaker 6: were just talking about off here, and it's maybe the
Speaker 6: least important one we're going to talk about in the
Speaker 6: next fifteen minutes or so.
Speaker 5: Can you walk us through the Dan Orlovski story?
Speaker 6: Because the NFL apparently told him to stop posting video
Speaker 6: breakdowns on social media. That's something that a lot of
Speaker 6: people on social media really really like. He's really really
Speaker 6: good at it. People seem to love him in football.
Speaker 6: Why are they kind of throwing the hammer down specifically
Speaker 6: on Orlovsky? What's the deal?
Speaker 10: Well, it's not specific today, and there are a lot
Speaker 10: of rules about what you can post and reposting any clips.
Speaker 10: There's copyrights. You've seen other aggregators of what I'm having
Speaker 10: to take stuff down. My understanding that I have not
Speaker 10: dug a great deal into this because I do not
Speaker 10: do film breakdowns, because no one would want to watch that.
Speaker 10: But Meyers standing is you can do it. ESPN's a
Speaker 10: league partner. There might have been specific clips or something
Speaker 10: that some type of a response, but again I don't
Speaker 10: know all the insounts of it, but I would not
Speaker 10: be surprised if you see some of those things back online.
Speaker 2: SOO yeah, I find that so hard to believe.
Speaker 11: I mean, he all he does is promote the league
Speaker 11: in such a positive way. I mean, he's the most
Speaker 11: fair and smartest analyst. I think that's out there, So
Speaker 11: what a shame. Hopefully he comes back with that.
Speaker 10: We got Brian Baldinger too, who does bald these breakdowns
Speaker 10: and those have not been disrupted in any way. Again,
Speaker 10: there may have been a game of telephone. I don't
Speaker 10: know all the details, but I don't believe that there
Speaker 10: was a band, certainly not on dan Orlovsky himself. Now
Speaker 10: you know again there are all these accounts that will
Speaker 10: just take you know, clips, basically steal it or it's
Speaker 10: people you know shooting it on their phone and you
Speaker 10: get these you know, the glare on the screen and
Speaker 10: all those things. That's not anything new. The NFL has
Speaker 10: got a pun of rules in place, just like I mean,
Speaker 10: you can't technically post you know, long press conference clips.
Speaker 10: I think it's like maximum sixty seconds. They can only
Speaker 10: be up for twenty four hours. That's just standard rights
Speaker 10: if it's not necessarily always in force. But certainly if
Speaker 10: you have anybody who's posting tons of stuff that doesn't
Speaker 10: work for a league partner and it's running over the
Speaker 10: ground of what they sell for NFL plus and whatnot,
Speaker 10: then the league, like any league, is going to take
Speaker 10: action on it.
Speaker 11: All right, let's talk about the Vikes. I was asked
Speaker 11: a question the other day. It's a pretty broad general question.
Speaker 11: It was just basically, what is the state of the
Speaker 11: Vikings as we go into this bye week? And I
Speaker 11: just kind of looked at a singular word, and I
Speaker 11: just think optimism. For there's optimism around this team just
Speaker 11: because of what they've had to battle through with injuries
Speaker 11: and then the hope that will get a lot of
Speaker 11: these guys back after the buye. If I oppose the
Speaker 11: same question to you, what do you think the state
Speaker 11: of the Vikings is right now going to the buy Well, they're.
Speaker 10: In flux, but if you look at the volume of injuries,
Speaker 10: they've had to be three and two and have the
Speaker 10: opportunity to get a bunch of guys back and for
Speaker 10: a really tough stretch on their schedule. I have to
Speaker 10: say that that's, you know, not a bad position to
Speaker 10: be in. I mean, think about some of the other
Speaker 10: teams that have been gutted by injuries early on. I mean,
Speaker 10: Miami lost, you know, it's kind of like similar to
Speaker 10: the Vikings where they lost the chunk of their offensive line.
Speaker 10: In their case, they lost you know, their star wide
Speaker 10: receiver for a long period of time, and they've had
Speaker 10: some other bumps along the way. They're one and four
Speaker 10: and they're trying to scrape their way back into this thing.
Speaker 10: You know, teams like the forty nine Ers that are
Speaker 10: four and one, the Vikings there are three and two.
Speaker 10: You're sitting there going, okay, like we've kind of we've
Speaker 10: gotten through some of the roughest stretches. And the best
Speaker 10: news for the Vikings is most of these guys are
Speaker 10: going to get back. The forty nine Ers are not
Speaker 10: getting nick Osa back. They're not gonna have Brandon Ayuk
Speaker 10: until probably mid November somewhere in there. A lot of
Speaker 10: these Vikings injuries were shorter term types of things, and
Speaker 10: so if you're being an optimist. You're going to say,
Speaker 10: you know, all right, Ryan Kelly's not coming back anytime soon.
Speaker 10: We know that he's out at least four games or
Speaker 10: three more games. That one's going to take a while.
Speaker 10: But you know, the you know, the rookie guards should
Speaker 10: be back as soon as this week. Arisa should be
Speaker 10: you know, maybe close to, if not all the way
Speaker 10: to one hundred percent of the STAPs that he can take.
Speaker 10: Brian O'Neil shouldn't be too far behind thereon Jones shouldn't
Speaker 10: be too far behind. The biggest questions surrounding the Vikings
Speaker 10: is just how they're going to proceed at the quarterback position.
Speaker 10: And you know, I've seen a lot of the stuff
Speaker 10: that's been said and you know, rumored and speculator. This
Speaker 10: is not a soft benji. Okay, with JJ McCarthy, he
Speaker 10: has a legit high handkle sprain. You don't put a
Speaker 10: guy in a walking boot for a week as like
Speaker 10: part of some broad ruse to secretly bench it. However,
Speaker 10: JJ McCarthy did not have any reps last year. Okay,
Speaker 10: from the first preseason game on tears his beniscus. He's
Speaker 10: out for the whole year, misses all those reps. This season,
Speaker 10: he has not practiced on consecutive days since before Week one.
Speaker 10: So what you don't want to do is set there
Speaker 10: go yep, JJ's back. He's fully healthy. Now we're just
Speaker 10: rolling him out there. They want to see how he
Speaker 10: looks through the course of this week doing some individual stuff.
Speaker 10: They want to see. I understanding the intention is for
Speaker 10: going to be a full participant in practice next week.
Speaker 10: You would think that they would be giving him the
Speaker 10: first team reps if they feel like he's in a
Speaker 10: position for that, But they also want to be conscientious
Speaker 10: of Hey, if it just looks like the rhythm and
Speaker 10: timing and dempo that NFL offenses function on, if that's
Speaker 10: not back for him, you know, regardless of the ankle,
Speaker 10: which should be pretty close to one hundred percent at
Speaker 10: this point, if he just doesn't look like he's you know,
Speaker 10: in the rhythm of it again, then it would make
Speaker 10: sense to hold him back, particularly when you're about to
Speaker 10: go up against one of the best teams, certainly one
Speaker 10: of the best defenses in the NFL in Philadelphia here.
Speaker 10: So you know, I would exercise patience on this. You know,
Speaker 10: there's a reason it's not Kevin O'Connell being you know,
Speaker 10: vague about the quarterback situation because he might decide to
Speaker 10: roll with Carson Wentz the rest of the way. That's
Speaker 10: not the mentality from everything I've been told. It's just about,
Speaker 10: you know, Didjy hasn't had a lot of practice time.
Speaker 10: Let's make sure that not just is he ready to play,
Speaker 10: but that he's in a groove and ready to play.
Speaker 7: Well, Hey, Tom, what do you think the long term
Speaker 7: and short term answer is with Jordan Addison for the Vikings?
Speaker 10: Well, you know, yeah, you had a situation obviously that
Speaker 10: arose on the international trip and he dropped off the
Speaker 10: map for a bit and didn't show up to a
Speaker 10: walk through. They disciplined him by holding him out for
Speaker 10: the first quarter. But then you saw down the stretch
Speaker 10: of that game how effective Jordan Addison can be. It's
Speaker 10: not the first time, obviously that he's run into issues.
Speaker 10: He had three game suspension at the start of this year.
Speaker 10: He's had, you know, various things pop up through the
Speaker 10: course of his young career. At some point, there's a
Speaker 10: maturity aspect to it where he's going to need to,
Speaker 10: you know, get himself in a position where they really
Speaker 10: feel like they can trust him, you know. If not,
Speaker 10: you know, again, this is looking way down the road,
Speaker 10: but you're gonna have decisions to make in terms of
Speaker 10: signing him to a second contract. Do you potentially trade him,
Speaker 10: do you let him walk for a compensatory pick. But
Speaker 10: those are not conversations that they're thinking about a whole
Speaker 10: lot right now. This is all about making sure Jordan
Speaker 10: Adison has all the tools at his disposal and the
Speaker 10: resources to go out there, continue to play well and
Speaker 10: do the things that he needs to Here. You know,
Speaker 10: you're paying Justin Jefferson at the top of the market
Speaker 10: right now, or you know what was the top of
Speaker 10: the market at the time. Who knows on the next
Speaker 10: contract or how soon the next contract for Justin Jefferson
Speaker 10: might come, what that number is going to be. There
Speaker 10: are some teams that have two highly paid receivers. Obviously
Speaker 10: Cincinnati does. It sounds like Dallas at least it would
Speaker 10: entertain the idea of paying George Pickens, although that may
Speaker 10: well include knowing how knowing how the Cowboys operate a
Speaker 10: franchise tag in the interim here. But you know, if
Speaker 10: you're talking about where the wide receiver market is, and
Speaker 10: how good of a player Jordan Andison is. There's no
Speaker 10: reason to think. But Calvin Ridley was suspended an entire
Speaker 10: year and went out there and got paid in free agency.
Speaker 10: There's no reason to think Jordan Aison can't be a
Speaker 10: thirty to thirty five by that time, forty million dollars
Speaker 10: a year player in free agency. Here, the Vikings have
Speaker 10: more information on him than anybody else, and they'll be
Speaker 10: able to make their decisions. Really that you know, start coming,
Speaker 10: you know, in the not too distant future here as
Speaker 10: he becomes eligible for an extension.
Speaker 3: Was that sausage ever? Hand up?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 5: I don't think who's in trouble after what are we through?
Speaker 5: Week five?
Speaker 8: Now?
Speaker 5: Give me some coaches that really need to start winning quickly.
Speaker 10: Well, I don't know that. You know, there's anybody who's
Speaker 10: like the imminent. You know they're going to get fired
Speaker 10: if they don't win this week. Certainly Tennessee. You know
Speaker 10: they got a big win in the wildest fashion possible
Speaker 10: last week in Arizona. Sometimes you need a little bit
Speaker 10: of luck on your side. You don't normally get that
Speaker 10: much luck with a running back dropping a ball at
Speaker 10: a one yard line that would have been a twenty
Speaker 10: eight to three game. It would have been a blowout
Speaker 10: and ends up flipping around. Tennessee's offense gets going. Cam
Speaker 10: Woard look phenomenal down the stretch, and then they still
Speaker 10: have the interception fumble situation. But Tennessee clearly, you know,
Speaker 10: I don't think it's any secret. They need to continue
Speaker 10: to show progress with the quarterback, with the coaching staff,
Speaker 10: and we'll see how that goes. You know, you've got
Speaker 10: us I'm looking at my board here, You've got you know,
Speaker 10: the Giants obviously, through the course of the season, they're
Speaker 10: going to need to continue to take strides forward. They
Speaker 10: got a young quarterback that they like in Jackson Dart.
Speaker 10: But it's no secret that you know, they've got to
Speaker 10: win some games through the course of the season. Miami
Speaker 10: is obviously another one. Like I said there, they've dealt
Speaker 10: with a lot of challenges. Mike McDaniel is one of
Speaker 10: the hardest jobs in the NFL, where every week he
Speaker 10: has to scheme up in offense for a quarterback who
Speaker 10: literally can't get hit because if he does get hit,
Speaker 10: something really bad might happen. That's a challenge, and then
Speaker 10: he doesn't have his wide receiver and short handed offensive
Speaker 10: line and all the other challenges that I've mentioned. They
Speaker 10: haven't stopped the run. They got to get better on defense,
Speaker 10: but that's another team certainly that's got to win. And
Speaker 10: then there's some you know, other situations. I mean, the
Speaker 10: way that I always look at is any coach who's
Speaker 10: in at least his third year and has not been
Speaker 10: to the playoffs, or any coach who has not been
Speaker 10: to the playoffs for multiple years, you start to talk about,
Speaker 10: you know, whether or not they potentially could be in trouble.
Speaker 10: I think the world of Kevin Stefanski. He's a two
Speaker 10: time NFL Coach.
Speaker 8: Of the Year.
Speaker 10: He's got his hands full with all the moving parts
Speaker 10: they have, especially at quarterback in Cleveland. Here, I think
Speaker 10: it's fair to say that you would like to see progress.
Speaker 10: You're hoping Dylan Gabriel can be the guy. At some point.
Speaker 10: You're gonna get a look at Shador Sanders too. They
Speaker 10: got two first round picks next year. You know, that's
Speaker 10: a team that has take strides forward. Arizona, same thing
Speaker 10: Jonathan Gannon ended up amidst that crumbling in a unusual situation.
Speaker 10: Let's put it that way. Where there was a contact
Speaker 10: with the player that was deemed inappropriate and the club
Speaker 10: find him one hundred grand. You know, he's in year three.
Speaker 10: They got a really young coaching staff. This was always
Speaker 10: going to be a multi year build. But they're at
Speaker 10: the point where you've got to learn how to win games.
Speaker 10: They've lost three three consecutive games on a last second
Speaker 10: walk off field goal, the first team I believe in
Speaker 10: NFL history that's ever happened to. At some point, you've
Speaker 10: got to translate those into wins. And again, I think
Speaker 10: that if they take strides forward here and they're a
Speaker 10: nine to ten win team and they're in the playoffs,
Speaker 10: right on the vergement, I think that he gets another year.
Speaker 10: But you know, those are kind of the coaches that
Speaker 10: are in that category. I know there's been speculation about
Speaker 10: like John Harbaugh. He just got an extension in the offseason.
Speaker 10: They're one and four, But there's no team that's gutted,
Speaker 10: especially on defense like they are, and they're rolling with
Speaker 10: a backup quarterback right now. Now. This is a big
Speaker 10: game for them this week, there is no doubt about it.
Speaker 10: Because you lose that game. Lamar is still not practicing.
Speaker 10: They lose their one in five, they're going to the
Speaker 10: buy and they're gonna get healthy. But at one in five,
Speaker 10: you're talking about basically needing to run the table, win nine,
Speaker 10: ten eleven games through the rest of the course of
Speaker 10: the season, you're gonna miss the playoffs. I mean, just
Speaker 10: ask the Bengals last year. You can be as hot
Speaker 10: as you want in December and January, but if you
Speaker 10: lost a bunch of games in September and October, it's
Speaker 10: hard to come back from.
Speaker 11: You know, Tom, I want to ask you, obviously courtesy
Speaker 11: of Bell Bank, so appreciate Bell Bank for having you
Speaker 11: on with us. Let's go back to the the Vikings
Speaker 11: game in London. There was a big controversy. I just
Speaker 11: want to know what your thoughts are. I know the
Speaker 11: NFL came out already and they had a statement, but
Speaker 11: the field goal that Riiker kicked thanks to my guy
Speaker 11: to my left, Zach Halverson, his little tweet went super viral.
Speaker 5: It's how I it's how I saw I saw it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's how I saw it.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 11: I understand that there may not be conclusive evidence that
Speaker 11: the ball hit the wire, and they've already said that
Speaker 11: like it's a dead issue that we're done with this topic,
Speaker 11: but like it's at least a topic of conversation. You know,
Speaker 11: where are we with things.
Speaker 2: Of that nature?
Speaker 11: Sort of like why was it even in the field
Speaker 11: of play like that those wires shouldn't even be in
Speaker 11: that situation where they're on the play side of the ball,
Speaker 11: as the NFL said, anything other than just like nope,
Speaker 11: nothing to see here and we move on. Or is
Speaker 11: there going to be like some rule changes or something
Speaker 11: that goes along with all of this.
Speaker 10: Well, first of all, it's not the only time that
Speaker 10: happened last week. There was also a play in I
Speaker 10: believe the Rams game where a ball got tipped at
Speaker 10: the line went up there but that went back. Yeah,
Speaker 10: but still it's two times where based upon the rules,
Speaker 10: that's supposed to be a dead ball and replay the down.
Speaker 10: So my questions would be, and I'm sure what the
Speaker 10: NFL is looking into, just setting aside your initial question, Benny,
Speaker 10: is all right, how is instant replay handling these things?
Speaker 10: What can you see? I know that it was essentially
Speaker 10: they couldn't see that the ball actually hit the wire.
Speaker 10: We can look at Zach's tweet and go, well, there's
Speaker 10: a wire and the ball takes a hard right turn,
Speaker 10: looks like it hit the wire. You know how they
Speaker 10: enforce those things. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is a you know,
Speaker 10: they play there every year, but it's still an uncommon
Speaker 10: stadium where there might be different operational things versus a
Speaker 10: stadium where you know you've got extra cameras. You know,
Speaker 10: spider cam is generally reserved for you know, the bigger crews.
Speaker 10: I don't know that every game has one of those,
Speaker 10: but you're playing it less often in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Speaker 10: than other places here, So I would imagine they're going
Speaker 10: to look at some things in terms of do they
Speaker 10: need to adjust exactly you know, where the camera is,
Speaker 10: where the wires are. It's not an NFL stadium and
Speaker 10: so you know, maybe things were just built and structured
Speaker 10: differently than they would be To me, though, the biggest
Speaker 10: issue is always, all right, things happen, Things happen that
Speaker 10: you weren't anticipating, But how do you try to fix
Speaker 10: them in real time? Because if that stuff impacts games,
Speaker 10: if the Vikings end up losing that game, Zach's tweet
Speaker 10: is a way bigger deal than it is now where
Speaker 10: it's well, they still won the game. You have to
Speaker 10: figure out how to fix it. I think that that
Speaker 10: goes across all of officiating, That goes across the quick
Speaker 10: reviews that they do from the booth, replay assist. It
Speaker 10: goes from what you know is in terms of challenges
Speaker 10: and things like that, you'd like to get those calls right.
Speaker 10: In two occasions last week, well one definitely, probably two,
Speaker 10: based upon what I saw with my own eyes, they
Speaker 10: missed the opportunity to try to correct that. The officials
Speaker 10: on the field didn't see it, and the whatever you
Speaker 10: know infrastructure there is in New York or upstairs, none
Speaker 10: of those people saw it either. That's problematic and those
Speaker 10: are things that I would anticipate our address here as
Speaker 10: we move forward.
Speaker 7: Hey, quick question, Tom, do you think Belichick is one
Speaker 7: and done in UNC?
Speaker 10: It certainly is possible, Sauce. But if you had asked
Speaker 10: me last summer or back in January, could Bill Belichi
Speaker 10: if you wanted done in the USC? I would have
Speaker 10: said yeah. It never on the surface made sense. And
Speaker 10: granted we saw the statements last night from Belichick and
Speaker 10: from the athletic director saying I'm fully committed, were fully
Speaker 10: in support of him, but realistically, when you were having
Speaker 10: Bill Belichick come in and try to establish PERV. Even
Speaker 10: Bill taking over an NFL team would be a challenge
Speaker 10: in the current environment because of just the mentality of
Speaker 10: players at this age as they come into the NFL,
Speaker 10: because Bill Bill is not a Hey, let's take a
Speaker 10: good team and we'll just add a little bit to it. No,
Speaker 10: it's strip it down and bring it to all right,
Speaker 10: let's get the right people. Let's establish the culture. You're
Speaker 10: probably going to go down before you go up. They
Speaker 10: were pretty competent for a basketball school. They were competent
Speaker 10: for a long time, you know, in terms of having
Speaker 10: Mac Brown there, and they won a lot of games,
Speaker 10: and they had good players come through there.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 10: Last week you're just you're watching and Bill said the
Speaker 10: same stuff after games, which, hey, we just got to
Speaker 10: be fundamentally better. I got to coach better, we got
Speaker 10: to play better. It's the same old Bill Ois. But
Speaker 10: that's not college football.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 10: College football is wide open transfer portals and nil and
Speaker 10: rev share, and you had the opportunity. I mean, they
Speaker 10: brought in seventy new players, but they also let some
Speaker 10: of their best players walk out the door. One of
Speaker 10: them left after spring ball. They weren't willing to pay,
Speaker 10: you know, the money that Ohio State would pay for players.
Speaker 10: I've heard stories where they weren't willing to pay what's
Speaker 10: certain staff members they wanted to have were willing to get.
Speaker 10: I mean, that's that's the nature of it. Bill is
Speaker 10: still a really good coach, and I think that it's
Speaker 10: instructive when you read, you know, some of those stories
Speaker 10: and I'm not, you know, familiar with some of the
Speaker 10: people who reported them, but to me just reading them
Speaker 10: as somebody who understands the industry, I'd say that they
Speaker 10: appear to be pretty well sourced stuff. Everything you see
Speaker 10: on Bill himself is, Hey, the one on one coaching
Speaker 10: is good. He is pleasant to people around the building.
Speaker 10: It's everybody else. It's the entire structure of the thing,
Speaker 10: and it's Michael Lombardi, and it's the coaching staff that's there,
Speaker 10: and it's how they've you know, the identification and retention
Speaker 10: of players. All those things just appear to be beyond him.
Speaker 10: So you know, the real question would become, I don't
Speaker 10: see UNC paying a twenty million dollar buyout to get
Speaker 10: rid of Bill Belichick. That doesn't make a lot of sense.
Speaker 10: I think the real question here would be this Bill
Speaker 10: just say, I'm gonna I'm gonna give you back to
Speaker 10: one million dollars. I'm going to try to either go
Speaker 10: to the NFL or I'm gonna go into the media.
Speaker 10: Bill's an NFL coach, E can coach football. That that
Speaker 10: part is not in doubt. I don't. I don't indict
Speaker 10: Bill Belichick like some other people might based on the
Speaker 10: results in North Carolina as a coach. But Bill Belichick
Speaker 10: is a college program builder surrounded by a bunch of
Speaker 10: people who also have never built a college program. It
Speaker 10: didn't make sense in December, It didn't make sense this
Speaker 10: summer when you started to read some of the things.
Speaker 10: It still doesn't make sense. Now you're seeing the results
Speaker 10: on the field, and we'll find out for whoever long
Speaker 10: he has left if they can show some kind of
Speaker 10: signs of progress.
Speaker 6: Here, all right, show a little more skin next week
Speaker 6: when you join. Drop a button or two please.
Speaker 5: If you wouldn't mind.
Speaker 10: I'm always a two button. I'm always a two button guy.
Speaker 10: That's at button, the most important button.
Speaker 5: Twos en off, Zach says, Zacha's twos off. Thanks Tom,
Speaker 5: appreciate it. Buddy, see you next week.
Speaker 4: It's great, Tom Pelser, thanks to the great Bell Bank.
Speaker 4: And you can go on on campan dot com right
Speaker 4: now and nominated charity to pay it forward thanks to
Speaker 4: Bell Bank. And that by the way, if you guys remember,
Speaker 4: and I know you do, is how we met Bellbank.
Speaker 4: We happened to have an employee instudious on Michael the
Speaker 4: other day who was in here when one of our
Speaker 4: listeners I was talking about needing some help getting a
Speaker 4: handicap accessible van, and that is how he got his van.
Speaker 4: And that's how we started our relationship with Bell Bank.
Speaker 4: I'll never forget that talk about being a good way
Speaker 4: to meet a good partner. So right now you can
Speaker 4: go on campan dot com and put in the keyword
Speaker 4: bell and it'll bring up all the information for you
Speaker 4: to nominated charity. And guess what, that's exactly what Greg
Speaker 4: Hawkins did. He nominated Hope Kids. That's Hope Kids dot
Speaker 4: org slash Minnesota. Hope Kids provides ongoing events, activities, and
Speaker 4: a powerful, unique support community for families who have a
Speaker 4: child with cancer or another life threatening medical condition. Thank you,
Speaker 4: Greg Hawkins, and thank you for all the people at
Speaker 4: home kids dot org, slash Minnesota and all you do
Speaker 4: and thank you Bell Bank.
Speaker 6: Now it's time for headline prot by my friends at
Speaker 6: Wolf River Electric and wolf Riverelectric dot com.
Speaker 5: It's not too late in twenty twenty.
Speaker 6: Five to get those solar panels put on retouch with
Speaker 6: the great people at wolf Riverelectric dot com.
Speaker 5: Yeah, hell yeah, man, oh yeah man?
Speaker 6: What oh Saucy Ready to be shocked and surprised at
Speaker 6: every single headline that I read? What an inmate escaped
Speaker 6: but was arrested on Monday after leaving Paul hang on
Speaker 6: wait till I finished brilliant After he left the work
Speaker 6: site and then later was found naked in Southwest Georgia.
Speaker 5: What so? What I mean?
Speaker 6: I think he thought, probably I got to ditch this
Speaker 6: outfits close, But I think he didn't think. But I
Speaker 6: will get noticed if I'm nude?
Speaker 5: Yeah right?
Speaker 6: Step one good, get rid of the clothes, change and outfits.
Speaker 6: But you can't get rid of the first outfit until
Speaker 6: you find the second one. He was found naked in
Speaker 6: Southwest Georgia.
Speaker 3: The underpants partisan important. Forget about that step point.
Speaker 6: Here's a terrifying stat Approximately, how many high schoolers give me.
Speaker 6: A percentage say that they or someone they know has
Speaker 6: had a quote romantic relationship with artificial intelligence.
Speaker 2: Man, I hope it's single digits.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go, who get surveyed again, high schoolers, whether
Speaker 4: it's they or someone they know has had a quote
Speaker 4: romantic relationship with artificial intelligence?
Speaker 3: Please right, here's here's my reasoning.
Speaker 4: It's gonna be in the twenty five range, because, whether
Speaker 4: it's actually happening or not, somebody's making a rumor about
Speaker 4: Johnny who's getting it on with an AI character and
Speaker 4: in love. So I would say they think it's more
Speaker 4: than it is. I'm gonna say twenty five percent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty eight cheater that you win.
Speaker 5: Price is right.
Speaker 6: The other way around twenty percent, about twenty percent.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 2: One in five.
Speaker 6: Forty two percent of those same students say they at
Speaker 6: least know someone who has used it for companionship, not
Speaker 6: necessarily romantic relationships, but they need a friend.
Speaker 3: Sure, and they use it for other things too.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I bet you know, man, from what the advertisements I
Speaker 4: keep getting shown on Facebook say. On Facebook, Yeah it's weird, man.
Speaker 4: I get an ad saying, hey, you want to watch
Speaker 4: some pornios.
Speaker 5: So just see Grandma's quick status. What should add for
Speaker 5: you're just looking at all?
Speaker 7: And then just pornio as I'm the only one for real,
Speaker 7: I don't go on Facebook.
Speaker 5: Oh I've never been honest.
Speaker 7: Wait, you really go on Facebook and you get told
Speaker 7: about pornios? Sure?
Speaker 5: Hey, they know? Doesn't of course it works.
Speaker 3: It depends on what the menu is.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what mood you're in?
Speaker 6: Hey, Zach, Yeah, I need you to answer this first
Speaker 6: question simply yes or no. You can't even have you
Speaker 6: can't even say. It's complicated or maybe I need a
Speaker 6: yes or no? No, yes, yes or no? Boy ghosts
Speaker 6: real yes or no. If you have to say one
Speaker 6: of the two, which way you leaning yes or no?
Speaker 6: You got to be right, I mean, if I have
Speaker 6: to be right no. But it's more nuanced than that.
Speaker 6: But you're going no, probably damn it. Okay, because check
Speaker 6: this out. This is sad, but stay with me. A
Speaker 6: sixty year old woman at Disneyland suffered a heart attack
Speaker 6: and died.
Speaker 5: She was on the Haunted Mansion ride.
Speaker 2: I saw that. I mean, they do tell you in
Speaker 2: the beginning.
Speaker 1: They got the scary guy says you can take his
Speaker 1: way out of the ride if you want to leave.
Speaker 2: She did, she did? So oops.
Speaker 5: Do you believe she will haunt the haunted mansion ride?
Speaker 2: I mean that's the spirit, right, you know?
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, yeah, that's the spirit.
Speaker 6: All right, buckle up unless you read this. This is unguessable.
Speaker 6: Oh my god, is it kind of a fifty one
Speaker 6: year old guy? Obviously, this is a guy. Fifty one
Speaker 6: year old guy in Florida.
Speaker 2: Oh got.
Speaker 6: He got arrested when the cops booked him the other day. Actually,
Speaker 6: let me back it up. They had gotten a call
Speaker 6: about a naked man in a public bathroom. He was
Speaker 6: fully clothed by the time they got there, so they
Speaker 6: let him go. But then he was trespassing on a
Speaker 6: set of train tracks right in front of them, and
Speaker 6: he threatened to kill a cop. So they're like, all
Speaker 6: right now, now you're under her that So he almost
Speaker 6: got away being naked in a public bathroom, but he
Speaker 6: went the wrong way with some other stuff.
Speaker 5: Because it's Florida, so check this out, they book him.
Speaker 5: And when they booked him.
Speaker 6: The the sheriff claims they found the quote largest item
Speaker 6: they've ever seen in his quote exit ramp. Oh take
Speaker 6: a shot.
Speaker 5: What this guy had up there.
Speaker 1: Oh lord, Oh, is the bathroom of hints at all?
Speaker 6: No, it's not like a plunger. Oh boy, this is
Speaker 6: a hint. I don't think it helps, but this is
Speaker 6: a hint. I cannot believe this fits.
Speaker 4: Corey. I can't answer because I read this this morning
Speaker 4: and I've spent the morning trying to figure it out.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I don't understand this. It's not how does this fit?
Speaker 5: I don't know basketball. I mean that's I mean, that's
Speaker 5: just too.
Speaker 2: Big a video game controller.
Speaker 5: I would argue bigger than that, right, Yeah.
Speaker 10: Than that.
Speaker 5: Baseball.
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say Catcher's mint.
Speaker 6: No, it's a base This is the only hint that
Speaker 6: I can give before we just give it away. This
Speaker 6: things cylindrical, a baseball bat, tennis ball canister.
Speaker 5: No, but that's criminals.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 4: I just can't believe this, right, Yeah, you gotta just
Speaker 4: tell Hi, because I got to play the audio of
Speaker 4: the cop.
Speaker 6: A full sized, as this story says, a full sized thermis.
Speaker 12: So we put everybody through a body scanner to make
Speaker 12: sure that they're not trying to bring guns and knives
Speaker 12: and drugs into the jail. Well, you might have thought
Speaker 12: Walter was bringing drugs into the jail. He brought a
Speaker 12: thermost into the jail. He put it up the exit ramp.
Speaker 12: He said, well, I put that inside my body twenty
Speaker 12: four hours earlier, the deputy saved this lot.
Speaker 1: I mean, whatever was in that thermos must have been
Speaker 1: like very very warm.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the coffee still warm, well insulated. Good super Who
Speaker 5: wants soup? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh man, some SuperM a thermos right now, right out
Speaker 1: of the chat I got for.
Speaker 5: Twenty four hours, like a coke freestyle machine.
Speaker 3: You're leaking tomato soup.
Speaker 5: Oh, just push the button in fill it up except
Speaker 5: beer cheese. Yeah, not beer cheese, full sized thermos.
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I thought about it, and I can't imagine it. I mean,
Speaker 4: I can't imagine how greasy that thing would have to
Speaker 4: or yeah, or how floppy that Yeah, I know what
Speaker 4: you're saying.
Speaker 2: I know my body is amazing.
Speaker 6: But to that, to that guy's point, if twenty four hours,
Speaker 6: he was like, look, this guy was in trouble him.
Speaker 6: What's the maximum number of hours before you can't survive that.
Speaker 3: I'm sure the numbers hours, I think it must be.
Speaker 3: I didn't I would win.
Speaker 5: Twenty four hours.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a taken takeing time.
Speaker 5: Bahmb up.
Speaker 4: There he's a walking storage.
Speaker 2: So we obviously didn't do that deed for twenty four hours?
Speaker 5: Or did he? Or did he right into the third?
Speaker 5: Maybe it was like a filter. Yeah maybe maybe maybe
Speaker 5: maybe it wasn't damned all the way.
Speaker 6: Here's another example of I don't think we have heard
Speaker 6: this before, but if we have, I missed it because
Speaker 6: I'm pumped about this. George Clooney says a new Oceans
Speaker 6: movie will probably start filming next year.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I saw that this morning. Yeah, that's sweet, that's awesome.
Speaker 5: I like all three of those.
Speaker 6: Again, I watched all three points, like, that's a really
Speaker 6: good point.
Speaker 5: Actually, what happened? I mean, out of the original eleven,
Speaker 5: they're not all alive. Who's death? Bernie Mack is no
Speaker 5: longer is Rob?
Speaker 3: Rob Rinder's gone as a car render he's gone.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Uh the gentleman who? Uh? Elliott Gould? Who got the letters?
Speaker 3: I believe did he pass? H?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, he's gone. What's her faces stand from friends?
Speaker 5: Exactly?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Exactly? Thank you? Good good pulling.
Speaker 5: So we have what eight eight or so left? Yeah,
Speaker 5: and we Ocean's eight oceans eight and.
Speaker 2: Hawk loved it.
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe Scott Khan doesn't join him. We're down to sell.
Speaker 4: Maybe they put his sister into uh and make it
Speaker 4: Oceans nine, because what's your face at busy?
Speaker 6: I mean, it's got to be fourteen. It's gotta be's
Speaker 6: got to be fourteen. You got to build a team.
Speaker 6: It's got to be fourteen.
Speaker 3: I know. If you guys, you are busy in.
Speaker 6: Put Terry Terry roller skating up and down the Vegas
Speaker 6: ship helping distract everybody, that'd be outstanding.
Speaker 5: Uh, he might want a thermos.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Oh, Terry's character has probably done that for sure and
Speaker 7: not known.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the tip I would be hanging out those shorts.
Speaker 5: For the For the record, we don't believe Nick has rs.
Speaker 2: If Nick's listening, all the problem is he's a character actor.
Speaker 2: So that's very much enough.
Speaker 3: Daniel Lewis, he's got to try it before he does.
Speaker 5: Here's this yet, Nick nuts, that's a.
Speaker 4: Real life Yetti poor And by the way, John Candy
