I 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:27.359 don't think I got that one. 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:28.600 It's a good point. It is cut. 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:32.200 Yeah, what if he actually walked out in that scene? 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:33.920 It was like it was a little cold. Sorry, guys, 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:35.840 can we do this again? I gotta warm up? That 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:37.000 thing is massive. 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:38.839 I tried to tell you, sweetie. 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:40.160 Yeah, he's a grower too. 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:47.440 Yeah, that's that show got better every episode. That that 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:50.440 shot is from the start of episode two, but man, 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:52.680 it's a it's It was definitely worth the watch. I'm 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:54.520 so glad I didn't give up on it. It got 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.760 better and better and better, but it's done. 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:58.960 It's done. You watched last night too? Yeah, yeah it 0:03:59.000 --> 0:03:59.280 was good. 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.560 Yeah, it was good. I binged through those first three 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:04.960 and then you know, of course they saw the Donner 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:05.560 and then. 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:10.880 The dog from sixteen Candles. How close were you to 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:11.720 give me up on it? 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:12.520 Uh? 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:15.200 Not close. I was just bored. I was just frustrated, 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:16.160 like where is this going? 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.640 And because you want no, I just more of him. 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:22.240 The first three episodes, it's just a lot of like 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:24.760 I'm going to enter this tournament. It's like you've been 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.159 saying that for three episodes, like when is something going 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.920 to happen? And then when stuff actually starts happening, you're like, man, now, 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:32.320 my guess is the first three episodes are actually better 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:34.600 than I thought they were. If you go back and 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.159 rewatch them once you see where it's going. I just 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:39.719 didn't like the pasing, but that's nedpicking because it was 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:42.880 definitely worth the way everything else. Yeah, it's definitely worth 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:45.520 the way the build up's worth it. It's if if 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:48.320 it had been hour long episodes, the action would have 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:50.280 started midway through the second episode. 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.400 That's fair. But since they're half hour. 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:53.920 And you have to wait a week at a time, 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:57.159 it's like three weeks where there's not much going on. 0:04:57.320 --> 0:04:59.479 That's a good way to look at it. Yeah, you know, 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:02.560 worth it though, man. 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:05.600 But now since it's Thrones, we have to wait seventeen 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:07.080 years for season two. 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:08.000 That's real good. 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:10.240 It's real good. I'm surprised all the episodes are only 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:11.479 thirty minutes, and me too. 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:13.919 I think a couple of them were pushing forty. But 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:16.960 they aren't an hour like House of the Dragon or Thrones. 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:18.200 They were quicker, I think. 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:18.880 George R. R. 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:20.400 Martin said he want he thought this was going to 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:22.880 be just like a movie, almost a standalone movie, like 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:25.400 a three hour film that they split it into a series. 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:27.680 Kid who plays the main character is real good man. 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:31.000 Yeah, they're both great too. 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:33.920 But yeah yeah, yeah. And when the old Witch says 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:35.719 what she says, that's pretty crazy crazy. 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:37.039 Yeah, that's a great scene. 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.000 And then the guy watched out with an enormous dog. 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:40.839 All your hands on, he said, he said, witch, the 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:44.760 old Witch Hawk, Yeah, she's basically at a Renaissance festival 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:45.799 telling fortunes. 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:48.240 Oh yeah, that's his demo. 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:50.320 I want to say this just so you guys know 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:52.479 this going forward. When you raise your hand over there, 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:58.960 if she looks like she smells, I'm out out a 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:02.880 witch in the bog of eternal stink stinks. 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:05.400 But she's wearing like those like that tight boosty a 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:06.520 thing where like really. 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:14.880 I'm not saying, I'm not gonna look at it, but 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:18.760 everybody's stunk back plus, she was with Sir Pennytree and 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:19.800 he ruined her. 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:24.440 Yeah, that's the guy's name, Yes, Penny Tree.

But I'm gonna tell 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:25.680 you something because I find this really interesting, you know, 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:28.520 how like you ever, like look through the science stories 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:31.800 just because there's always something fascinating, right and you know, 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.719 like they found the dinosaur bone, or or they got 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:37.720 a new form of bacteria or whatever. There's always got 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:39.600 to be that one scientist And when I read these stories, 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:41.839 I'm like, that's pretty interesting. But how did they come 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:43.559 up with the idea that they wanted to try that? 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:45.680 And it has to be the one scientist in the 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:48.480 building who does a lot of drugs. There's got to 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:50.560 be great scientists in the world. I'm sure there's a 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:53.640 million of them. They're smart, but they're not great. This 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:57.640 guy decided to give octopuses MDMA to see what would happen. 0:09:58.040 --> 0:09:59.360 What what that's true? 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:04.960 The octopigy exactly why scientists conducted experiments where they dosed 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:09.520 octopuses with MDMA. The study was originally published in the 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:13.199 Journal of Current Biology, examined how the recreational drug impacted 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:17.800 on the associability of animals and MDMA, also known as 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:21.719 ecstasy for those of you not partying, hugely popular in 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:25.880 the drug scene, especially at raves, works because it binds 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:30.280 a to transporter proteins in your neurons and creates a 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.360 feeling of euphoria. I need to try this. 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.880 I'd like euphoria. I think it eats holes in your brain. 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:39.640 Yeah yeah, but I think probably one time. 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:40.840 It's fine. 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:45.800 Octopus is highly intelligent animal, and study authors observed how 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:48.800 their behavior change behavior change when they were given MDMA 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:53.440 and neuros. As human beings, we like to know where 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:56.840 we came from. MDMA is an amazing tool for studying 0:10:56.840 --> 0:11:01.760 social behaviors. How did the octopuses react? The study put 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:05.960 two spot octopuses, which are normally not a particularly social species, 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:09.760 and put two of them in a tank together and 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:10.880 gave them a damn. 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:13.880 Way to cosme. 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:19.400 In the tank, one octopus was under a mesh pot, 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:21.720 which meant that the two could touch and interact but 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:23.800 couldn't hurt each other because they weren't sure what would happen. 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:29.600 You know, with the sober octopuses, the free octopus typically 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:31.439 spent most of their time in the opposite side of 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:35.240 the tank to the one under the pot. That's what 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:37.000 they that's what they always do. But when they were 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:40.360 placed on a tank containing dissolved in DMA, their behavior 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:46.000 some mark change. Octopuses appeared to relax. They were chilling 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:48.959 in the water. You could tell that they were visibly relaxed. 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.160 Then they moved their arms, and then they moved through 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:54.359 the water, and then they started doing somersaults. 0:11:56.960 --> 0:12:00.439 They also did not avoid the mesh basket the other 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:02.840 octopuses like they did when they were sober. Instead, they 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:05.600 were far more open to approaching each other, even trying 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.200 to touch each other, and then they tried to embrace 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:11.959 through the container. The study suggested that the regions in 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:14.000 the human brain which are connected to social bonding might 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:18.360 be another result of an evolutionary accident. Maybe somehow somewhere 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:20.560 we ran into some kind of drugs that made us 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:21.319 want to get it on. 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:27.720 I feel like this was like an unnecessary experience something. 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:30.800 This is the drug ey scientist going wonder what happened? 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:32.720 If we gave them the. 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:36.920 Let's try this, you could you could find two willing 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:38.200 human participants. 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:41.360 So I want to try this of course. Yeah. 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:42.199 Euphoria? 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:45.920 What's that like? Yeah? I think don't they called the 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:46.520 love drug? 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:48.360 Yeah, it's ecstasy for a reason. 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:49.319 Yeah. 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:50.400 Does it hurt you? 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:54.720 I don't think it's not for your brain? Yeah? Makes 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:59.000 you want to touch an octopus? Amazing? Hot, Well he 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:02.320 wants to do that? Of course? Guy? Those things are smart. 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:05.760 They are and now they want euphoria all the time. 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:07.880 Yeah, so you're telling me that if Tommy took this, 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:10.679 that he has a potential to be touching lots of tentacles. 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:14.080 Yep, I'm gonna think that he takes about every third Thursday. 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:17.400 Yeah, I'm gonna guess he's tried it. Don't say that, 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:20.880 of course he allegedly. Anthony Harris is in the building. Well, 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:22.080 we'll talk to him in a second. 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:22.960 Michael J. Mussman. 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:24.760 The third is here, Ben Lieber is here. This is 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:26.400 the power of morning show on the fan. 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:41.800 Hey, welcome back to Patrick Morny Show.

We're doing a. 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.559 Game Day staff celebration that's going to be happening at 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:09.920 us Bank Stadium and Scott Studwell. Randam McDaniel and Anthony 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:12.320 Harris are going to be our guests. 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:16.120 So it'll be a lot of fun. Does Anthony know 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:17.840 he has to do with you to Knights Pro. 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.000 We's already been on Vikings Country. 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:21.800 We've had a blast. I love this guy. 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:23.880 Okay, good sea. Yeah. 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.560 I can't believe that he still lives here in Minnesota. 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:31.160 But apparently in Minnesota must have married a Minnesota woman 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:34.560 because by law, you must live in Minnesota at some 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:36.720 point if you marry in Minnesota woman. 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:41.480 Anthony is at the case. I guess that's the case. Minnesota. Nice. 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:45.320 Why good morning, man, Good morning. Good to see you all. 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:47.080 You guys just hung out this week, Ben, Yeah, we 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:50.280 did last Wednesday. It was great. Had a v N studios, 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.080 great time in there. That's a good spot. Man. 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.880 They did not go cheap when it comes to the 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:57.680 that giant studio at TCO. 0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:00.320 Oh No, it's the best. It's a real deal TV studio. 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.760 It's awesome. It's a big auditorium and stuff. It's it's sick. 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:05.720 Yeah, no, it's so I sort of if I understand 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:09.520 it correctly. When they built it, they definitely like did 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:11.440 the due diligence, so they wanted to make it like 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:12.000 a state. 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:12.520 Of the art place. 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:15.680 I think a lot of other teams came through because 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:18.760 they wanted to replicate it. It became sort of the standard. 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:21.960 When these teams are building out their studios, they're like, well, 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.200 we need to go too of the Vikings because they 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:24.720 did it right. 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:26.040 Yeah. 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:27.760 Yeah, So Anthony, what do you do with the vice now? 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:29.960 Are you just starting to dip your toes into the. 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:32.120 Media world with the Minnesota Vikings or what are you 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:33.360 doing well with a past year? 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:35.840 I've been around a little bit doing some podcast stuff 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:38.640 very lightly, just keeping up with the team off season 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:39.400 and stuff like that. 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:43.000 Awesome, Now you gotta deal with it Ben in general 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:43.760 and must tonight. 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:45.320 Apparently I'm learning from the pro here. 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:48.000 Yeah, it's like a rookie in the game now, you know, 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:50.480 I'm taking a look at what he's doing and keeping 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:52.000 up in some of the stuff he's doing, doing some 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:54.880 great things. So we had the pleasure of getting together 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:56.840 last week and talking a little ball. 0:15:57.480 --> 0:15:58.280 I know. Awesome. 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:00.320 Do you get excited because I know that was a 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:03.720 time where when I when I was recently done playing, 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:07.720 I didn't jump into like the combine and the evaluation 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:12.200 parts of it. Is that something that you're like naturally 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:13.000 interested in? 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:13.720 Yeah? 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:16.720 I just think for me, just like player evaluation and 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:18.960 just kind of how it all comes together from you know, 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:22.119 scouting the talent scheme wise. 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:23.240 I've just been kind of looking at it from an 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:23.960 overall thing. 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:26.400 Last last year I talked a little bit more about 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:29.680 free agency, not as much about the draft and stuff 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:32.560 like that, but that is a fascinating piece and seeing 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:36.000 how that trans translates and how the scouts and executives 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:39.200 you know, vet talent and the direction today decide to go. 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:40.040 Yeah. 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:42.120 How different is the combine though from when you guys 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:45.080 went through it? Like it's significantly different, right in terms 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:48.040 of like who participates, what they participate in. What do 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:50.400 you guys see differently from now and then? 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:54.080 Well, I think for me it's it's somewhat been the same, 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:54.440 you know. 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:58.440 I think there's a little bit more of players coming 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:01.840 out saving the ways that are more of like professionals 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:05.760 with business decisions and things like that. But in terms of, 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:08.639 you know, the numbers that guys are putting up, you know, 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:12.000 there seems like they're they just continue to climb. But 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:15.200 I think the mental mental side of the preparation and 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:18.440 the details that goes into the preparation has just continue 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:18.960 to evolve. 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:24.240 Yeah, I would say, I mean definitely the uh, the athleticism, 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:27.119 the whole like bigger, faster, stronger thing that that just 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:31.000 continues to like progress every single year. I mean every generation. 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:32.560 I think, is this canna be a better athlete than 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:37.960 the former generation. But I think in some ways there 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:41.199 are there definitely are to your question, like less guys 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:44.000 participating because they kind of know their their draft stock, 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:45.800 they kind of know their draft value. Like, well, I'm 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:48.000 not really gonna increase my value if I just go 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:50.400 out go out here and do you know my three 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:53.440 cone or my my forty or whatever my bench press, 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:55.919 Like I'm good, Like my tape's gonna speak for itself. 0:17:56.520 --> 0:18:00.680 The thing that I don't love right now is there's 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:04.080 so many there's so many guys that get the coaching 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:07.240 on the meeting side of things, because every night there's 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:09.560 meetings stacked upon meetings, Like you got to meet with 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:11.880 all these teams. You get a list of all these teams. 0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:14.440 I want to meet with you and interview you. These 0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:17.720 guys are to be becoming like robots, but it's like 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:20.840 you're never getting a real answer. That's the thing I 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:23.080 don't like. Just be a human being like these guys 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:24.800 just want to top ball with you. They just want 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:26.959 to like talk to you, like, hey, you know, tell 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:29.080 us about your family, you know, you know, tell us 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:32.320 about this situation that happened here when you're at this college. 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:34.800
