Speaker 5: yeh yeah. So they were performing there and then I
Speaker 5: was going there.

Speaker 6: and uh, some hold, you know, putting up banners and
Speaker 6: stuff like that, and they're doing their soundtrack and the
Speaker 6: band just goes, well, the guys, hey, you know where
Speaker 6: we can get a beer? So it's not getting grab

Speaker 5: they read their room. Yeah, and they were like that guy,
Speaker 5: beers in your backpack?
Speaker 7: Yeah no, Ben, what I don't have a problem, No, no, no,
Speaker 7: you just you're well prepared.
Speaker 5: Yeah, man, I'm I'm a solutions guy. You're you're a
Speaker 5: real season pro.
Speaker 6: That's where you are.
Speaker 5: Yeah, man, I don't think you mean that, but that's
Speaker 5: nice without pro. Pretty good, pretty good.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take a picture of this and send to
Speaker 2: you guys.
Speaker 5: Oh no, is this the Wiener? My god? Why are
Speaker 5: you taking your pants?
Speaker 4: He was looking up that penis and that show Kingdom
Speaker 4: he wrote, but he wrote the House of the Dragon
Speaker 4: hug Dog because.
Speaker 5: Second episode, right, Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're also he just I mean, helicopters.
Speaker 2: Out his little hot to everybody.
Speaker 5: Yeah, make sure that one guy sees that. I want
Speaker 5: to hear his response.
Speaker 2: That one guy, Tommy, Okay, okay, yeah, sorry.
Speaker 5: He's seen it. Tommy's seen the show.
Speaker 4: Just send it to the power Trip Efforts and just
Speaker 4: write good morning.
Speaker 2: I don't think I'm gonna do that because yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so the other guy is named the Tall would
Speaker 6: actually be the Dong.
Speaker 2: I mean, look at that.
Speaker 5: I don't even know. I have never seen it.
Speaker 6: And what I mean that's so hardly smokes. That's so
Speaker 6: far back that they could only come up with a nickname.
Speaker 2: The Tall the House of the Dragon.
Speaker 5: It's not up. That's a rope.
Speaker 8: How does he wear?
Speaker 3: It's cartoonish for it like fits the character perfectly too.
Speaker 9: It's hilarious. It's got to be a process. If there's
Speaker 9: a god, it's a It goes to his knees. It
Speaker 9: literally does bomb that after him, Like, don't ever.
Speaker 5: Take this all right?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you definitely asked to recut that scene multiple times.
Speaker 3: You guys want to do a couple of takes. I
Speaker 3: don't think I got that one.
Speaker 2: It's a good point. It is cut.
Speaker 6: Yeah, what if he actually walked out in that scene?
Speaker 5: It was like it was a little cold. Sorry, guys,
Speaker 5: can we do this again? I gotta warm up? That
Speaker 5: thing is massive.
Speaker 2: I tried to tell you, sweetie.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's a grower too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that show got better every episode. That that
Speaker 3: shot is from the start of episode two, but man,
Speaker 3: it's a it's It was definitely worth the watch. I'm
Speaker 3: so glad I didn't give up on it. It got
Speaker 3: better and better and better, but it's done.
Speaker 5: It's done. You watched last night too? Yeah, yeah it
Speaker 5: was good.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was good. I binged through those first three
Speaker 6: and then you know, of course they saw the Donner
Speaker 6: and then.
Speaker 7: The dog from sixteen Candles. How close were you to
Speaker 7: give me up on it?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 5: Not close. I was just bored. I was just frustrated,
Speaker 5: like where is this going?
Speaker 7: And because you want no, I just more of him.
Speaker 3: The first three episodes, it's just a lot of like
Speaker 3: I'm going to enter this tournament. It's like you've been
Speaker 3: saying that for three episodes, like when is something going
Speaker 3: to happen? And then when stuff actually starts happening, you're like, man, now,
Speaker 3: my guess is the first three episodes are actually better
Speaker 3: than I thought they were. If you go back and
Speaker 3: rewatch them once you see where it's going. I just
Speaker 3: didn't like the pasing, but that's nedpicking because it was
Speaker 3: definitely worth the way everything else. Yeah, it's definitely worth
Speaker 3: the way the build up's worth it. It's if if
Speaker 3: it had been hour long episodes, the action would have
Speaker 3: started midway through the second episode.
Speaker 5: That's fair. But since they're half hour.
Speaker 3: And you have to wait a week at a time,
Speaker 3: it's like three weeks where there's not much going on.
Speaker 5: That's a good way to look at it. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 5: worth it though, man.
Speaker 3: But now since it's Thrones, we have to wait seventeen
Speaker 3: years for season two.
Speaker 2: That's real good.
Speaker 5: It's real good. I'm surprised all the episodes are only
Speaker 5: thirty minutes, and me too.
Speaker 3: I think a couple of them were pushing forty. But
Speaker 3: they aren't an hour like House of the Dragon or Thrones.
Speaker 3: They were quicker, I think.
Speaker 5: George R. R.
Speaker 3: Martin said he want he thought this was going to
Speaker 3: be just like a movie, almost a standalone movie, like
Speaker 3: a three hour film that they split it into a series.
Speaker 2: Kid who plays the main character is real good man.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're both great too.
Speaker 2: But yeah yeah, yeah. And when the old Witch says
Speaker 2: what she says, that's pretty crazy crazy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a great scene.
Speaker 2: And then the guy watched out with an enormous dog.
Speaker 4: All your hands on, he said, he said, witch, the
Speaker 4: old Witch Hawk, Yeah, she's basically at a Renaissance festival
Speaker 4: telling fortunes.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, that's his demo.
Speaker 2: I want to say this just so you guys know
Speaker 2: this going forward. When you raise your hand over there,
Speaker 2: if she looks like she smells, I'm out out a
Speaker 2: witch in the bog of eternal stink stinks.
Speaker 7: But she's wearing like those like that tight boosty a
Speaker 7: thing where like really.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying, I'm not gonna look at it, but
Speaker 2: everybody's stunk back plus, she was with Sir Pennytree and
Speaker 2: he ruined her.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the guy's name, Yes, Penny Tree. Yeah, I know,
Speaker 5: I know, I get why. But yeah, you.
Speaker 7: Know what's real gross about the times back back then.
Speaker 7: I mean, let's keep in mind that everybody is just
Speaker 7: disgusting everybody everything.
Speaker 5: It's the rotten.
Speaker 7: Teeth, Oh god, golly ma, Like there's no way. How
Speaker 7: can you just like roll over and want to get
Speaker 7: after it when there's this like justice.
Speaker 5: Cabbage pale kid breath coming out.
Speaker 3: That's just But again, the hardest part about personal hygiene
Speaker 3: and like the Middle Ages was the white walkers and
Speaker 3: the dragons. Right, it's hard to brush your teeth. It's
Speaker 3: this is historic fact. Everybody knows this. I don't have
Speaker 3: time to brush my teeth. There's dragons flying.
Speaker 6: No, yea, if you have meth teeth as well, then
Speaker 6: what's the difference?
Speaker 5: That is true?
Speaker 7: The thing is like, yeah, it's not like I'm the
Speaker 7: only one that goes to the dentists and teeth.
Speaker 3: Right, nobody knows. Nobody knows that minty fresh breath exactly.
Speaker 2: I thought there was a lot less kissing than they
Speaker 2: show in price.
Speaker 5: You know what I mean. Oh, but they didn't know
Speaker 5: that there was an option to be better than that.
Speaker 5: That was as good as it got.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I understand.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, man, get in there. I don't know, Just
Speaker 5: get after it.
Speaker 2: I don't think it still smells.
Speaker 5: I don't think. I don't want to kiss my goal
Speaker 5: and then be chewing her food.
Speaker 4: Gross. I don't think there was a lot of wooing.
Speaker 4: Hawk didn't say anything, no wooing.
Speaker 7: You don't think there was like like he was nobody
Speaker 7: Rick Flared threw it in there.
Speaker 5: Hurry.
Speaker 7: Oh wow, I don't know medieval foreplay, I guess happened.
Speaker 5: I love that big Hawk.
Speaker 3: When when you were watching Thrones and you said, Kim
Speaker 3: basically said, no, when is this supposed to be a guy?
Speaker 5: Like what year? It's not a year. There's dragons. Yeah,
Speaker 5: but I was I love that bit.
Speaker 2: I made myself sound much cooler though re told the
Speaker 2: story because in real life I was like.
Speaker 7: You know, I think that's a fair question. Okay, if
Speaker 7: you take the dragons out of it? And what era?
Speaker 7: Would that be hard.
Speaker 2: To take the dragons out of it?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 7: No, no, but but everybody, I mean, that's what nine
Speaker 7: It is like looks like it's medieval times, sure, sure,
Speaker 7: but then like ten percent of it as dragons, Okay,
Speaker 7: take that away?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Then what era are we talking about here?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, medieval?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I would guess somewhere.
Speaker 4: Yeah, money python, What century would you guess if you
Speaker 4: take the White Walkers and the dragons out?
Speaker 5: I don't even know when they or like twelve or something.
Speaker 5: I would say something in that range.
Speaker 2: Yeah, back in the round table.
Speaker 3: All the pyramids being built? Yes, no, this is pre pyramids?
Speaker 3: I agree. Eighteen What did you say something?
Speaker 5: No? It was not Kurt Bills? Was it Kurt Bills? No, sir.
Speaker 2: Man, all right, I'll give you one more news story
Speaker 2: because supposed to be the news. But I'm gonna tell
Speaker 2: you something because I find this really interesting, you know,
Speaker 2: how like you ever, like look through the science stories
Speaker 2: just because there's always something fascinating, right and you know,
Speaker 2: like they found the dinosaur bone, or or they got
Speaker 2: a new form of bacteria or whatever. There's always got
Speaker 2: to be that one scientist And when I read these stories,
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's pretty interesting. But how did they come
Speaker 2: up with the idea that they wanted to try that?
Speaker 2: And it has to be the one scientist in the
Speaker 2: building who does a lot of drugs. There's got to
Speaker 2: be great scientists in the world. I'm sure there's a
Speaker 2: million of them. They're smart, but they're not great. This
Speaker 2: guy decided to give octopuses MDMA to see what would happen.
Speaker 5: What what that's true?
Speaker 2: The octopigy exactly why scientists conducted experiments where they dosed
Speaker 2: octopuses with MDMA. The study was originally published in the
Speaker 2: Journal of Current Biology, examined how the recreational drug impacted
Speaker 2: on the associability of animals and MDMA, also known as
Speaker 2: ecstasy for those of you not partying, hugely popular in
Speaker 2: the drug scene, especially at raves, works because it binds
Speaker 2: a to transporter proteins in your neurons and creates a
Speaker 2: feeling of euphoria. I need to try this.
Speaker 7: I'd like euphoria. I think it eats holes in your brain.
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, but I think probably one time.
Speaker 5: It's fine.
Speaker 2: Octopus is highly intelligent animal, and study authors observed how
Speaker 2: their behavior change behavior change when they were given MDMA
Speaker 2: and neuros. As human beings, we like to know where
Speaker 2: we came from. MDMA is an amazing tool for studying
Speaker 2: social behaviors. How did the octopuses react? The study put
Speaker 2: two spot octopuses, which are normally not a particularly social species,
Speaker 2: and put two of them in a tank together and
Speaker 2: gave them a damn.
Speaker 5: Way to cosme.
Speaker 2: In the tank, one octopus was under a mesh pot,
Speaker 2: which meant that the two could touch and interact but
Speaker 2: couldn't hurt each other because they weren't sure what would happen.
Speaker 2: You know, with the sober octopuses, the free octopus typically
Speaker 2: spent most of their time in the opposite side of
Speaker 2: the tank to the one under the pot. That's what
Speaker 2: they that's what they always do. But when they were
Speaker 2: placed on a tank containing dissolved in DMA, their behavior
Speaker 2: some mark change. Octopuses appeared to relax. They were chilling
Speaker 2: in the water. You could tell that they were visibly relaxed.
Speaker 2: Then they moved their arms, and then they moved through
Speaker 2: the water, and then they started doing somersaults.
Speaker 10: They also did not avoid the mesh basket the other
Speaker 10: octopuses like they did when they were sober. Instead, they
Speaker 10: were far more open to approaching each other, even trying
Speaker 10: to touch each other, and then they tried to embrace
Speaker 10: through the container. The study suggested that the regions in
Speaker 10: the human brain which are connected to social bonding might
Speaker 10: be another result of an evolutionary accident. Maybe somehow somewhere
Speaker 10: we ran into some kind of drugs that made us
Speaker 10: want to get it on.
Speaker 5: I feel like this was like an unnecessary experience something.
Speaker 2: This is the drug ey scientist going wonder what happened?
Speaker 2: If we gave them the.
Speaker 7: Let's try this, you could you could find two willing
Speaker 7: human participants.
Speaker 5: So I want to try this of course. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Euphoria?
Speaker 5: What's that like? Yeah? I think don't they called the
Speaker 5: love drug?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's ecstasy for a reason.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Does it hurt you?
Speaker 5: I don't think it's not for your brain? Yeah? Makes
Speaker 5: you want to touch an octopus? Amazing? Hot, Well he
Speaker 5: wants to do that? Of course? Guy? Those things are smart.
Speaker 2: They are and now they want euphoria all the time.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so you're telling me that if Tommy took this,
Speaker 7: that he has a potential to be touching lots of tentacles.
Speaker 2: Yep, I'm gonna think that he takes about every third Thursday.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna guess he's tried it. Don't say that,
Speaker 4: of course he allegedly. Anthony Harris is in the building. Well,
Speaker 4: we'll talk to him in a second.
Speaker 5: Michael J. Mussman.
Speaker 3: The third is here, Ben Lieber is here. This is
Speaker 3: the power of morning show on the fan.
Speaker 2: Hey, welcome back to Patrick Morny Show. Here we are
Speaker 2: last Man and Ben Leeber cast of thousands very special
Speaker 2: guests in the main studio over there.
Speaker 5: Zach should be walking him in here in a second.
Speaker 5: Anthony Harris, former Viking. Yeah, Anthony Harris.
Speaker 2: And Must do you have any member with them tonight?
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's a great dude, didn't. Yeah, we have an
Speaker 5: event tonight. We're doing a.
Speaker 6: Game Day staff celebration that's going to be happening at
Speaker 6: us Bank Stadium and Scott Studwell. Randam McDaniel and Anthony
Speaker 6: Harris are going to be our guests.
Speaker 5: So it'll be a lot of fun. Does Anthony know
Speaker 5: he has to do with you to Knights Pro.
Speaker 6: We's already been on Vikings Country.
Speaker 5: We've had a blast. I love this guy.
Speaker 2: Okay, good sea. Yeah.
Speaker 6: I can't believe that he still lives here in Minnesota.
Speaker 6: But apparently in Minnesota must have married a Minnesota woman
Speaker 6: because by law, you must live in Minnesota at some
Speaker 6: point if you marry in Minnesota woman.
Speaker 5: Anthony is at the case. I guess that's the case. Minnesota. Nice.
Speaker 5: Why good morning, man, Good morning. Good to see you all.
Speaker 5: You guys just hung out this week, Ben, Yeah, we
Speaker 5: did last Wednesday. It was great. Had a v N studios,
Speaker 5: great time in there. That's a good spot. Man.
Speaker 3: They did not go cheap when it comes to the
Speaker 3: that giant studio at TCO.
Speaker 5: Oh No, it's the best. It's a real deal TV studio.
Speaker 5: It's awesome. It's a big auditorium and stuff. It's it's sick.
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, it's so I sort of if I understand
Speaker 7: it correctly. When they built it, they definitely like did
Speaker 7: the due diligence, so they wanted to make it like
Speaker 7: a state.
Speaker 5: Of the art place.
Speaker 7: I think a lot of other teams came through because
Speaker 7: they wanted to replicate it. It became sort of the standard.
Speaker 7: When these teams are building out their studios, they're like, well,
Speaker 7: we need to go too of the Vikings because they
Speaker 7: did it right.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So Anthony, what do you do with the vice now?
Speaker 3: Are you just starting to dip your toes into the.
Speaker 5: Media world with the Minnesota Vikings or what are you
Speaker 5: doing well with a past year?
Speaker 8: I've been around a little bit doing some podcast stuff
Speaker 8: very lightly, just keeping up with the team off season
Speaker 8: and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: Awesome, Now you gotta deal with it Ben in general
Speaker 3: and must tonight.
Speaker 5: Apparently I'm learning from the pro here.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's like a rookie in the game now, you know,
Speaker 8: I'm taking a look at what he's doing and keeping
Speaker 8: up in some of the stuff he's doing, doing some
Speaker 8: great things. So we had the pleasure of getting together
Speaker 8: last week and talking a little ball.
Speaker 5: I know. Awesome.
Speaker 7: Do you get excited because I know that was a
Speaker 7: time where when I when I was recently done playing,
Speaker 7: I didn't jump into like the combine and the evaluation
Speaker 7: parts of it. Is that something that you're like naturally
Speaker 7: interested in?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 8: I just think for me, just like player evaluation and
Speaker 8: just kind of how it all comes together from you know,
Speaker 8: scouting the talent scheme wise.
Speaker 5: I've just been kind of looking at it from an
Speaker 5: overall thing.
Speaker 8: Last last year I talked a little bit more about
Speaker 8: free agency, not as much about the draft and stuff
Speaker 8: like that, but that is a fascinating piece and seeing
Speaker 8: how that trans translates and how the scouts and executives
Speaker 8: you know, vet talent and the direction today decide to go.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: How different is the combine though from when you guys
Speaker 3: went through it? Like it's significantly different, right in terms
Speaker 3: of like who participates, what they participate in. What do
Speaker 3: you guys see differently from now and then?
Speaker 5: Well, I think for me it's it's somewhat been the same,
Speaker 5: you know.
Speaker 8: I think there's a little bit more of players coming
Speaker 8: out saving the ways that are more of like professionals
Speaker 8: with business decisions and things like that. But in terms of,
Speaker 8: you know, the numbers that guys are putting up, you know,
Speaker 8: there seems like they're they just continue to climb. But
Speaker 8: I think the mental mental side of the preparation and
Speaker 8: the details that goes into the preparation has just continue
Speaker 8: to evolve.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would say, I mean definitely the uh, the athleticism,
Speaker 7: the whole like bigger, faster, stronger thing that that just
Speaker 7: continues to like progress every single year. I mean every generation.
Speaker 7: I think, is this canna be a better athlete than
Speaker 7: the former generation. But I think in some ways there
Speaker 7: are there definitely are to your question, like less guys
Speaker 7: participating because they kind of know their their draft stock,
Speaker 7: they kind of know their draft value. Like, well, I'm
Speaker 7: not really gonna increase my value if I just go
Speaker 7: out go out here and do you know my three
Speaker 7: cone or my my forty or whatever my bench press,
Speaker 7: Like I'm good, Like my tape's gonna speak for itself.
Speaker 7: The thing that I don't love right now is there's
Speaker 7: so many there's so many guys that get the coaching
Speaker 7: on the meeting side of things, because every night there's
Speaker 7: meetings stacked upon meetings, Like you got to meet with
Speaker 7: all these teams. You get a list of all these teams.
Speaker 7: I want to meet with you and interview you. These
Speaker 7: guys are to be becoming like robots, but it's like
Speaker 7: you're never getting a real answer. That's the thing I
Speaker 7: don't like. Just be a human being like these guys
Speaker 7: just want to top ball with you. They just want
Speaker 7: to like talk to you, like, hey, you know, tell
Speaker 7: us about your family, you know, you know, tell us
Speaker 7: about this situation that happened here when you're at this college.
Speaker 5: Hey, why did you transfer? What was the thought behind?
Speaker 7: Like and everything is just so contrived, like nothing's a
Speaker 7: real answer. That's the thing I wish they'd get away from.
Speaker 7: Like I know that some of these guys, like they
Speaker 7: want to protect themselves, they don't want to come off
Speaker 7: like they're just a big, you know, football idiot. But
Speaker 7: at some point in time, there's got to be a
Speaker 7: blend of like that's a human being that plays football
Speaker 7: versus like that's just a contrived machine that's just been
Speaker 7: rehearsing and acting like a football player, acting like a
Speaker 7: human being.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I think I think, you know, that's just
Speaker 8: just the environment. You know, you know, going through the process,
Speaker 8: you're in different meetings, some questions get repetitive. Every now
Speaker 8: and then you might have something that pops up and
Speaker 8: surprise you. And so I just think that environment it
Speaker 8: breeds a very professional, you know, analyst breakdown type of environment.
Speaker 8: So that's kind of the nature that the players responds.
Speaker 8: But I found you know, as you go through the
Speaker 8: different meetings and you've you've got a few under your belt,
Speaker 8: you know, it starts to kind of settle down a bit.
Speaker 8: And then also if you get an opportunity to come
Speaker 8: into the facility, if a team invites you in for
Speaker 8: you know, their Top thirty visit or whatever it is,
Speaker 8: that seting tends to be a little bit more you know, relaxed.
Speaker 8: The players kind of able to kind of, you know,
Speaker 8: let us guard down a bit because ultimately, you know,
Speaker 8: you're being evaluated at every second. You know, something you say,
Speaker 8: something you do could possibly just come off in a
Speaker 8: bad manner that you may not want to present. So
Speaker 8: I think as guys go through it, you know, they
Speaker 8: kind of get the feel of it and they kind
Speaker 8: of understand a little bit more just kind of you know,
Speaker 8: they can be themselves and really show who they are
Speaker 8: as a person.
Speaker 6: Anthony Harris is here on the Power Trip Morning Show
Speaker 6: and and we are going to be doing an event
Speaker 6: here tonight. You came into the Vikings in twenty fifteen
Speaker 6: twenty nineteen. You had an unbelievable season, so amazing, but
Speaker 6: then you also went to Philadelphia show Vikings fans versus
Speaker 6: Philly fans.
Speaker 8: Yeah your thoughts, Yeah, I think they're you know, there's
Speaker 8: two different fan bases. I just always think back to
Speaker 8: my first experience coming in as a rookie and being
Speaker 8: in that outside stadium. That was something that I truly
Speaker 8: loved as a player and as a competitor. Just growing
Speaker 8: up watching the game. It kind of just reminds you
Speaker 8: of old school football. And so for that I kind
Speaker 8: of missed that error. You know, walking out, you know,
Speaker 8: the fans and grueling cold weather weather, but you know,
Speaker 8: they're drinking beers, they're getting ready to go, and they're
Speaker 8: excited and and when the game kicks off, they're they're
Speaker 8: a static And so making that transition was uh, something
Speaker 8: big for me when we went indoors, but then we
Speaker 8: came out with you know, the skull chaint and so
Speaker 8: stuff like that is really moments and and different cultural
Speaker 8: things within the game that you feel and that represent
Speaker 8: you know, the organization that you're with. So I was
Speaker 8: glad that we did that, But being in Phillies it's different.
Speaker 8: You know, the fans, you know, they they're cheering loud,
Speaker 8: and they love you when you're doing well. But kind
Speaker 8: of like any other fan base, when you're not doing
Speaker 8: so well, they let you know for sure.
Speaker 7: Is it harder to distract yourself and like insulate yourself
Speaker 7: when they are so.
Speaker 5: There? There's so much passion for the game.
Speaker 7: I mean, if you if you end up playing bad
Speaker 7: and you feel some of those criticisms, like we all know,
Speaker 7: like when you play bad, like you know already that
Speaker 7: you played bad. You don't need you don't need like
Speaker 7: a beat writer or these fans to tell you that
Speaker 7: you played bad. But like they're notoriously known to be
Speaker 7: hard on their players. Can you actually feel that and
Speaker 7: it's harder to kind of like insulate yourself during the
Speaker 7: course of the week from that negativity.
Speaker 8: I think it depends on the player, you know, kind
Speaker 8: of your years of experience in different markets that you've
Speaker 8: played in prior to college and social media now how
Speaker 8: much that's grown. So a lot of guys really get
Speaker 8: themselves in trouble. You know, we all have a bad
Speaker 8: performance here and there, or we don't play to the
Speaker 8: expectations that we meet for.
Speaker 5: Ourselves or fans have for us.
Speaker 8: And so it's really just about you know, handling your business,
Speaker 8: doing what you're supposed to do, focusing more on the
Speaker 8: preparation week the week and not being so much on
Speaker 8: social media, so really not.
Speaker 5: Riding the wave.
Speaker 8: You know, you have a great game, you know, there
Speaker 8: might be guys who go online they want to see
Speaker 8: what the fans saying and they love it, and then
Speaker 8: you know, you can have weeks later where you kind
Speaker 8: of have the op opposite end of the spectrum, and
Speaker 8: that's where you really get yourself in trouble. So, I mean,
Speaker 8: I think in any fan base, there are going to
Speaker 8: be people who are extremely passionate about the game and
Speaker 8: they're going to vocalize their opinions about the game. And
Speaker 8: so I really just think it's more so in how
Speaker 8: the player players handle it. But Philly's definitely notorious for,
Speaker 8: you know, letting you know when you don't have a
Speaker 8: great performance.
Speaker 3: All right, that's Anthony Harris. We'll come back. We'll do vikings, news, sauce.
Speaker 3: You can maybe even walk us through some of the
Speaker 3: other sports as well. Anthony's gonna hang out for a

Speaker 2: outside of Richmond, Virginia, right, Yep, that's correct, and uh,
Speaker 2: I believe did you go to the same high school
Speaker 2: as Denny Hamlin current as car driver? Do you know
Speaker 2: is that a Is that a true true fact?
Speaker 5: I am not sure and I don't have to fact
Speaker 5: check that myself.
Speaker 2: I know he's from that city. I know, I know
Speaker 2: he's from that city. Did you ever, in fact go
Speaker 2: to lovely colonial Williamsburg and visit the beautiful bush Gardens
Speaker 2: Williamsburg Amusement Park?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I have.
Speaker 8: I'm a big amusement park roller coaster guy, so I've
Speaker 8: been down there to Busch Gardens as well as Kings Dominion.
Speaker 2: I lived in Norfolk, Virginia for about three years, and
Speaker 2: I loved going to Williamsburg. That place was awesome.
Speaker 8: Yeah, And I also go down there for some crab legs.
Speaker 8: They got like a nice little crab legs back down there.
Speaker 2: Tell you what, There's just a great food everywhere around there.
Speaker 2: Love that place.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Norfolk was fun. Virginia beach awesome. Do you spend much
Speaker 2: time there?
Speaker 5: Now? I didn't spend a ton of time down in
Speaker 5: Virginia Beach.
Speaker 8: Most of it was spent like playing sports, So you know,
Speaker 8: I avoided the beach and you know, stuck to the
Speaker 8: football field and the basketball court.
Speaker 2: Lots of great, great high school football and basketball in Richmond, Virginia.
Speaker 2: A lot of fun. So there you go. Of course,
Speaker 2: you guys are doing an event together tonight, musman. But
Speaker 2: I believe what Anthony was saying was that he's seen
Speaker 2: you enough for one day. So yeah, back off.
Speaker 5: I understand it.
Speaker 6: My wife just the same.
Speaker 2: How was your high school football team?
Speaker 8: Uh, we were pretty good. We won a lot of
Speaker 8: divisional championships. We went to the regional championship, won that
Speaker 8: a few times, but we weren't able to win the
Speaker 8: stay title when I was there. So I always make
Speaker 8: jokes that, you know, I must have been a problem.
Speaker 8: They won like three in a row after I left
Speaker 8: a few years later.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you were the problem.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't know what was going on. I mean,
Speaker 8: they switched me to quarterback my junior year. We made
Speaker 8: a good run. I got hurt in the last game,
Speaker 8: so that kind of broke my heart. Seeing everybody faces
Speaker 8: it's like this is the year. And then I get
Speaker 8: hurt and then we ended up losing in a regional
Speaker 8: championship my senior year.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Any other NFL players on that high school team, No,
Speaker 5: but we had a few.
Speaker 8: No, we had a few guys from that era during
Speaker 8: that time who was able to make it.
Speaker 5: We had a linebacker, Curtis Grant.
Speaker 8: He was ranked like one of the top linebackers in
Speaker 8: the country at the time. He ended up going to
Speaker 8: Ohio State and played in the NFL a little bit,
Speaker 8: but not my particular team. Now, yeah, there was a.
Speaker 2: For some reason, the reason high school sports sticks out
Speaker 2: so much to me when I lived in that area,
Speaker 2: I think it's probably because Alan Iverson lived there in Hampton,
Speaker 2: you know, Hampton, Virginia, which is by Norfolk, Virginia, and
Speaker 2: he was the scream of that entire area. But as
Speaker 2: a high school quarterback. Yeah, basketball as well, but more
Speaker 2: about football. What I remember hearing about him as a
Speaker 2: high school football player.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he was extremely talented as a kid growing up
Speaker 8: in that era. That was kind of one name that
Speaker 8: really jumped out just for his peer athleticism, you know,
Speaker 8: on the football field, on the court, but just that
Speaker 8: tierwater area in generally, honestly, you know, being up from
Speaker 8: Richmond just an hour two hours away. I got to
Speaker 8: tip my hat to those guys when you start talking
Speaker 8: about Virginia football for a while, the tie Water has
Speaker 8: done a great job with putting out a number of
Speaker 8: players who were able to go on to play in
Speaker 8: the NFL.
Speaker 5: But we are growing down in Richmond.
Speaker 8: For the past few years we had like, you know,
Speaker 8: five or six guys who who currently still play from
Speaker 8: that area. So we're trying to We're trying to catch up,
Speaker 8: but we know Will Ways wait, will Ways behind.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, it's two Vikings news. There's actually a lot
Speaker 5: of sad news, but still I want to get.
Speaker 3: The couple of former Vikings opinions on the news over
Speaker 3: the weekend.
Speaker 5: If you don't mind, it's time for Vikings News on
Speaker 5: the Power Trip, presented by Drank Hills and Ben.
Speaker 3: Let's start with you because you played with Roanyelle Whittaker.
Speaker 3: Former Viking defensive back Ronyell. Whitaker died at the age
Speaker 3: of forty six. Played with the Vikings in six and seven,
Speaker 3: a couple of US seasons twenty seven games with the
Speaker 3: Vikes over those two years, and again a teammate of yours.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so we we were together when I got here No.
Speaker 5: Six.
Speaker 7: And you know, it's one of those things where it's
Speaker 7: tough because you know, he and I worked close after
Speaker 7: we after he got done playing. But you know he
Speaker 7: was I think that we were, you know, fairly close
Speaker 7: when he played and he was on the team. I mean,
Speaker 7: he was a guy the way to the describe him,
Speaker 7: was one of the like brightest spots in the locker room,
Speaker 7: Like that's the only thing that I can see. He
Speaker 7: always had a smile on his face. He was funny,
Speaker 7: he was jovial.
Speaker 5: You know. I heard other people say, like, here's a
Speaker 5: guy that's never.
Speaker 7: Had a bad day, never had a bad day, like
Speaker 7: no matter what happens. And you know, it's it's rare
Speaker 7: to find guys like that, as Aunt knows in this league.
Speaker 7: Like you know, a lot of guys, you know, you
Speaker 7: ride this emotional roller coaster up and down based on
Speaker 7: your performance. I mean it could be from Sunday to Sunday.
Speaker 7: It could just be having a bad practice on a Wednesday,
Speaker 7: you know, and you feel down about yourself. But like man,
Speaker 7: wit was Uh. He was one of those guys that
Speaker 7: like you could always count on to. He'd brighten up
Speaker 7: every meeting room. He'd walk in with that smile and
Speaker 7: his laugh and he was trying to make people laugh.
Speaker 7: He was always into good spirits, you know, hell of
Speaker 7: a guy. So, I mean, it's it's unfortunate that would happen,
Speaker 7: you know. I I know it's not public what what happened,
Speaker 7: and and I'm not certainly not gonna talk about it
Speaker 7: because it's a family issue. But yeah, it's it's it's tough.
Speaker 7: It was sudden, it was tough, it was unexpected. So
Speaker 7: I definitely, you know, thoughts and prayers to to you know,
Speaker 7: his soul and his his loved ones and everybody that's around.
Speaker 8: Absolutely absolutely, I've had I had the opportunity to meet
Speaker 8: him a few times over the past two years, you know,
Speaker 8: you know, being out of the game now coming to
Speaker 8: a lot of games, going into the alumni suite and uh,
Speaker 8: the one thing you mentioned about with this energy and
Speaker 8: just being a ball of energy and never seemed like
Speaker 8: he had a bad day. I remember the first time
Speaker 8: walking in, I just see like this bright smile. He
Speaker 8: comes over, We start talking and we start catching up
Speaker 8: and uh we connect with college robberies. Me going to UVA,
Speaker 8: him being a hockey a Virginia Tech guy, and so
Speaker 8: we talked football and stuff like that, and you know,
Speaker 8: he he just talked about my game and we connected
Speaker 8: from that and then coming back games later.
Speaker 5: And and being in the presence of him.
Speaker 8: He just had great energy and we just had a
Speaker 8: great time watching games and talking ball and things like that,
Speaker 8: and he was always smiling. So when I got the news,
Speaker 8: you know, it was definitely a down moment of like, man,
Speaker 8: you know, I can't really believe that, but yeah, like
Speaker 8: you said, Thawston, prayers to his family as well as
Speaker 8: they go through this tough time.
Speaker 3: It's forty six and the other one over the weekend
Speaker 3: that was shocking. Former Vikings wide receiver Rondelle Moore died
Speaker 3: this weekend at the age of twenty five from a
Speaker 3: suspected self inflicted gunshot wound.
Speaker 5: Dislocated me with the Falcons in.
Speaker 3: Twenty four that wiped him out for the entire year,
Speaker 3: and then last year in the preseason opener for the
Speaker 3: Vikings a season ending knee injury.
Speaker 7: So yeah, I mean, there's it's tragic, it's avoidable. That's
Speaker 7: the thing that I think that hurts the most is like,
Speaker 7: you know, this is just a larger issue with everybody.
Speaker 7: I mean, there is always there's always somebody that you
Speaker 7: can talk to. There's always somebody that you know, I think,
Speaker 7: you know, you might feel like you don't have any
Speaker 7: other way out. You might feel like there's a loss
Speaker 7: of identity, you might feel disconnected from who you think
Speaker 7: you should be and who you are, and you know,
Speaker 7: I just I just think that everybody knows that you
Speaker 7: should know that there's help always. And the sad thing
Speaker 7: is is like from some of his buddies that were
Speaker 7: really close to him that have come out like he
Speaker 7: just he seemed like he was in good spirits, you know.
Speaker 7: And I know that as guys, you know, most of
Speaker 7: the time you reach out and you're like, hey man,
Speaker 7: you good, and you're like, yeah, I'm good, you know,
Speaker 7: And we don't poke in prod too much, and we're
Speaker 7: not gonna sit there and then lay it out in
Speaker 7: the line say like, oh no, I'm not doing great.
Speaker 7: Here's here's all the things that I'm dealing with mentally.
Speaker 7: I know a lot of guys just aren't wired like that.
Speaker 7: But we need to get to a point where maybe
Speaker 7: to your closest friends, you can start opening up and
Speaker 7: being a little bit more vulnerable about how you feel
Speaker 7: and we can help each other out and hopefully avoid
Speaker 7: these situations because he just you know, I didn't know
Speaker 7: him specifically and personally, but from what I have seen
Speaker 7: from him, you know from everybody else, reaching out is
Speaker 7: like another another great, great guy that unfortunately.
Speaker 5: Just you know, took a tragic turn. Yeah. Yeah, I think.
Speaker 8: As being kind of mentioned, you know, it's it can
Speaker 8: be tough, that tough at times. You know, you talk
Speaker 8: about a guy who's you know, had a pretty solid
Speaker 8: career but then to go out with two injuries, and ultimately,
Speaker 8: you know, guys can put a lot of pressure on themselves,
Speaker 8: you know, not only to perform at your level of
Speaker 8: expectations and kind of like you know, where you see yourself,
Speaker 8: uh in the future in terms of play and different
Speaker 8: things like that, but also just securing a future for
Speaker 8: your family. You know, that pressure can mount, and so
Speaker 8: kind of like being mentioned, you know, it's it's extremely
Speaker 8: important to you know, just be aware, be vigilant and
Speaker 8: actually you know, maybe proden a little bit, you know,
Speaker 8: whether it's in closed settings or whether it's you know,
Speaker 8: in this generation, you're you're on the headset and you're
Speaker 8: gaming with just you and a few friends, really just
Speaker 8: checking in on each other. So that's something that I
Speaker 8: pride myself on now as a as a guy who
Speaker 8: formally played, just checking in with a lot of guys
Speaker 8: who I know are still playing, checking in with guys
Speaker 8: who are no longer playing, understanding that transition and really
Speaker 8: just trying to be there in a way that's supportive
Speaker 8: and just hey, keep your head up.
Speaker 5: You know, it's tough.
Speaker 8: I never really spoke about it much, but during kind
Speaker 8: of like my COVID year, that was kind of like
Speaker 8: a tough year for me, and I tell people a
Speaker 8: lot of the times, you know, that was probably one
Speaker 8: of my hardest years, if not the hardest year in
Speaker 8: the NFL, and not just you know, playing football, but
Speaker 8: you know, you know, obviously there's COVID policies. You know,
Speaker 8: we kind of want to stay distant, and it's a
Speaker 8: little bit more isolated in your home and there's really
Speaker 8: less travel with family and friends. But I know, for me,
Speaker 8: you know, it was just really just connecting with the
Speaker 8: guys on the team, you know, understanding and kind of
Speaker 8: seeing other guys go through it. Nothing really related to football,
Speaker 8: but more so just not having those outlets, not really
Speaker 8: you know, being able to, hey, I'm going to go
Speaker 8: out to dinner and you know, grab some food with
Speaker 8: my family, grab some food with my significant others and
Speaker 8: things of that sort. So really just you know, kind
Speaker 8: of standing close knit as guys in the locker room
Speaker 8: and then also reaching out as an older veteran guys
Speaker 8: reaching out to guys who we know are going through
Speaker 8: injuries because they're going to be isolated anyway, not due
Speaker 8: to COVID, but you know, they may not be in
Speaker 8: the facility quite as much, they may not be in
Speaker 8: the meetings. So really is just having more awareness around
Speaker 8: it that way, you know, you can try to be
Speaker 8: supportive as much as possible.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well said, yeah, well said.
Speaker 3: All right, on a much lighter note, We've done this
Speaker 3: over the years with a handful of Vikings, including Ben.
Speaker 5: I want to try this with you, Anthony, if that's cool.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 3: I'm always curious how well players know their own careers,
Speaker 3: like whether it's just all a blur or if you
Speaker 3: kind of dwelling like, oh, I know exactly what happened
Speaker 3: there or this or that, so this is all Wikipedia
Speaker 3: If this is wrong just tell me.
Speaker 5: But this is what Wikipedia says.
Speaker 3: Do you remember who you picked off for your first
Speaker 3: career in herse option?
Speaker 8: I believe my first career interception was against the Cardinals.
Speaker 5: Possibly you remember who the quarterback was, Josh Rosen nailed Jos.
Speaker 3: I remember that one Later that year you pick you
Speaker 3: picked off a quarterback twice in a game.
Speaker 5: Which quarterback was that later in the year, twice in
Speaker 5: one game.
Speaker 8: The only person I remember not picking off twice in
Speaker 8: one game was uh, Matt Ryan and with the Falcons.
Speaker 5: That was the next next career possibly the Bears. Yes,
Speaker 5: who was a quarterback? The quarterback was Trubisky.
Speaker 3: Yeah there iss now this will make this will make
Speaker 3: Ben Lieber's day, even though this is your career. Uh,
Speaker 3: your first career touch stone was a pick six off
Speaker 3: of what quarterback?
Speaker 5: Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson. Yeah got him, we got him.
Speaker 3: According to this, according to Wikipedia, you had three interceptions
Speaker 3: in twenty nineteen, all Giant name quarterbacks. Russell Wilson is one. Actually,
Speaker 3: hang on a second, let me make sure this is right.
Speaker 3: Twenty nineteen. Oh, you had six interceptions that year, and
Speaker 3: that one threw me off. I was like you had six,
Speaker 3: So two against Matt Ryan, one against Dwayne Haskins.
Speaker 5: Wow, do you remember the other three?
Speaker 3: So Russell Wilson and two other big names, Philip Rivers
Speaker 3: and and Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 5: Got it, man, you know your own career pretty well.
Speaker 5: That was very good football.
Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely all of them.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh okay, what do you do with them right now?
Speaker 8: They're they're in a case, they're in a football cases
Speaker 8: at my mom's waiting to put my man cave together
Speaker 8: here in Minnesota. So just holding on to him, just
Speaker 8: holding on to him was fortunate enough to add Tom
Speaker 8: Brady to that collection and kind of checked off the
Speaker 8: boxes for the quarterback era of man Philip Rivers and
Speaker 8: Matt Ryan's. And I look back and I'm like, am
Speaker 8: I getting old?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 8: I didn't get Holmes or anything like that, or Justin Herbert.
Speaker 5: I'm like, missed that era. Guys.
Speaker 4: If the Bears had drafted, right, you probably would have
Speaker 4: picked off Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got Tom Brady when you were with the Eagles,
Speaker 2: is up right?
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the right. Wow, that's really cool. That's very
Speaker 5: cool man. Yeah, I would hang on to that one. Yeah.
Speaker 5: And he didn't sign it, though I'm not an ax
Speaker 5: him either.
Speaker 2: That's a good idea.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's the one thing that I wish that I
Speaker 7: had in my era was a jersey swamp.
Speaker 2: I wish you'd had an interception or.
Speaker 6: Two maybe ago maybe not a p I whoa, did
Speaker 6: you have one?
Speaker 5: I had one in the Dallas case, I had a couple.
Speaker 5: I had a couple.
Speaker 3: More sacks than interceptions, like Murderer's row of a big
Speaker 3: name quarterbacks.
Speaker 5: So he's got them all. I don't even know the
Speaker 5: names of the quarterbacks that I picked off. We should
Speaker 5: look that up, now, we shouldn't George. Jersey swaps. I've
Speaker 5: done a few jersey swaps.
Speaker 8: Most of my jersey swaps were guys that I played
Speaker 8: with in college and really had a strong relationship with.
Speaker 8: And then as I went on, you know, I had
Speaker 8: some jersey swap with some of the guys who I
Speaker 8: just you know, thought with great players.
Speaker 5: You have those in a case somewhere too.
Speaker 8: Right now, they're all like stacked up nearly in a box,
Speaker 8: you know, and you know, having picked that wall together.
Speaker 3: Going to say, if you do a man, keep these up.
Speaker 3: Pretty soon you got to start auctioning these things off.
Speaker 3: That's so what my wife always says about my baseball
Speaker 3: cards and basketball cards.
Speaker 5: She's like, what are you going to do with him?
Speaker 3: I'm like, they're gonna be worth something, But she's like
Speaker 3: when when are you going to sell them when you're
Speaker 3: eighty or are you going to sell them?
Speaker 5: I'm like, I don't know. So they're just collecting dust.
Speaker 6: And when you do the the jersey swap, do you
Speaker 6: have to pay for those jerseys? Does the team just go, no,
Speaker 6: we're over, We're good, We'll get you another one.
Speaker 5: A few of them.
Speaker 8: I've actually requested that they put in an order, you know,
Speaker 8: weeks probably. I'm like, hey, I got two guys that
Speaker 8: you know, I'm swapping jerseys with after the game, and
Speaker 8: you know, I get a little invoice for it. Some
Speaker 8: of the other ones that I'm I'm not quite sure.
Speaker 8: I just assumed that, you know, they I would get
Speaker 8: the invoice for him later. So if they they took
Speaker 8: care of a few of them, I'm appreciative of that.
Speaker 5: Do they did to pay for the football? Oh? The football? No? Okay?
Speaker 4: When you when you do a jersey swap, is that
Speaker 4: something you asked like pregame, Like, when you guys are
Speaker 4: all warming up or is that like a spur of
Speaker 4: the moment thing.
Speaker 8: I mean, for me, I think it was just a
Speaker 8: mutual thing with a lot of guys that I actually
Speaker 8: played with, you know, Morgan Moses, he played for the
Speaker 8: Patriots when we played a few times, and a number
Speaker 8: of other guys more so college guys that I spent
Speaker 8: time with who were either before me or after me,
Speaker 8: and we kind of just you know, kept a good bond,
Speaker 8: tried to give each other as much insight on how
Speaker 8: to you know, be a professional and continue to improve
Speaker 8: our careers.
Speaker 5: And that was all the sentiment was really about. With
Speaker 5: the jersey swap, Hey.
Speaker 3: Were you guys listening to earlier benge You hear the
Speaker 3: part where we were talking about Jack Hughes's teeth. Yeah,
Speaker 3: when we were talking about Mark Parrish's teeth and about
Speaker 3: how like each each tooth that got knocked out was
Speaker 3: insured by a different NHL team, So like if he
Speaker 3: goes back to get that tooth fixed, he has or
Speaker 3: that specific team, Like what's the NFL dental plan? Like
Speaker 3: like if somebody like I don't know, like if you
Speaker 3: guys had your teeth popped out while you were with
Speaker 3: the Vikings to do they still cover that?
Speaker 5: Now, what's a dental plan, like.
Speaker 7: I think, well, no, because you only get coverage for
Speaker 7: five I mean it's really six years after you're done playing.
Speaker 3: So and it's from the league from a specific team.
Speaker 5: It's the league wid regardless of team.
Speaker 3: Yeah, surprised the NHL just doesn't have that, just league
Speaker 3: wide insurance.
Speaker 4: Especially with all the teeth they lose. Perry had to
Speaker 4: go to every team he lost a tooth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're actually the same color of the team he
Speaker 2: played for. Jack Hughes scored his Golden Gold with a
Speaker 2: shattered smileces I looked on the ice and saw my teeth,
Speaker 2: so we now know they came out of his face.
Speaker 5: Pick them up? Yeah, pick them up in auction of But.
Speaker 7: I'm telling you what, man, obviously it's well worth the
Speaker 7: pictures that he will have. I mean those pictures with
Speaker 7: him holding the flag and like the celebrating with the
Speaker 7: broken teeth and the blood in his mouth. I mean,
Speaker 7: you can't get a more iconic picture. Yeah, cockeye picture ever, Yeah,
Speaker 7: it's so good.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's so bad.
Speaker 3: There showing a guy on ESPN right now that's taking
Speaker 3: a chainsaw to his TV.
Speaker 5: After Yeah, he's a crazy lost Yeah.
Speaker 7: I question when I saw that video, like, what is
Speaker 7: going on inside his cabin? Like, what is going on?
Speaker 7: Like there's pieces missing from his roof or from the ceiling.
Speaker 7: There's a recycling bin full of like beer cans and sodas.
Speaker 4: It looks like there's it doesn't look safe. Yeah, there's
Speaker 4: firewood just stacked.
Speaker 5: In the middle of the room. I don't know. It
Speaker 5: looks like Muss's garage.
Speaker 6: Oh great, mussy. Oh okay. Can I ask you a
Speaker 6: really stupid question? Hell, yeah, you're good, Anthony Harrison. We're
Speaker 6: talking about the Olympics here. I want to know the
Speaker 6: two man losee. What former Viking teammate would you team
Speaker 6: up with? And who would be on top?
Speaker 5: Must you guys have an event tonight? Don't derail this?
Speaker 5: What are you doing? Let him answer the question.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm not sure, man. I mean I had a
Speaker 8: lot of great teammates, a lot of great guys. Harrison
Speaker 8: Smith was my guy when playing, also Eric Kendricks. Those
Speaker 8: guys were great players, had a great, great time, want
Speaker 8: to fill with them, a lot of great moments watching ball,
Speaker 8: talking live. So those are probably two dudes who I
Speaker 8: really connected with in terms of you know, when I was.
Speaker 3: Playing the it's got to be a sweet spot, right,
Speaker 3: because if we're being serious, don't you have to go
Speaker 3: absolutely ballistic for like seven seconds and push off as
Speaker 3: quickly as possible.
Speaker 5: But it's like six or seven seconds, So you got
Speaker 5: to have.
Speaker 3: Somebody that's fast, they can get out of the block quickly,
Speaker 3: and then doesn't weigh nine hundred pounds, right, so you
Speaker 3: can't say worms.
Speaker 5: I think I think having Pat would be great.
Speaker 2: He needs to be on bottom though.
Speaker 3: It's not going to run fast enough by the thing
Speaker 3: moving run on started.
Speaker 7: No, I'm telling you. You watch the first quarter of
Speaker 7: every game. You watch Pat hustle down the line like
Speaker 7: that dude could move.
Speaker 3: There's no chance he fits in a Bob's letter A
Speaker 3: lose there like a skeleton.
Speaker 5: You don't have to lose.
Speaker 7: You understand the physics, like the more weight is going
Speaker 7: to be faster speed, like our top end speed is.
Speaker 5: Going to be blazing.
Speaker 3: Take it it is to get him in the loose
Speaker 3: race is over, think it's moving.
Speaker 5: I'm going Pat, he'd be on partner.
Speaker 3: I take Anthony Harrison and Harrison Smith and you can
Speaker 3: take Pat in yourself and we'll see this to the bottom.
Speaker 6: First, you wouldn't understand what he was saying, but still, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: that's right.
Speaker 5: Pat Williams was just give me a ten yard sprint,
Speaker 5: that's it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you have a better chance if you
Speaker 3: just get in there by yourself and let Pat push
Speaker 3: you as hard as he can.
Speaker 5: Man. Yeah, I think it counts if you both crossed
Speaker 5: the line. He's got to get in eventually. If he's
Speaker 5: doing it, I'm going to get Linville to push me. Yeah,
Speaker 5: we're telling you good choice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're Anthony Harris. This may be a weird question,
Speaker 2: and I feel weird saying because I don't think I've
Speaker 2: ever said this to anybody. I think Mike Zimmer liked you.
Speaker 5: Do you agree?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I think I think he liked me.
Speaker 8: He didn't want to, he didn't want to actually tell me,
Speaker 8: but yeah, I mean, I think we had a pretty
Speaker 8: good relationship. You know, we didn't have a ton of
Speaker 8: deep conversations, but you know, when.
Speaker 5: When talking about he was great.
Speaker 8: You know, he pushed me to you know, reach the
Speaker 8: expectation before I was actually a full time start of
Speaker 8: just what the expectation was coming in teams, not or
Speaker 8: the defense, not taking any steps backwards, and so I
Speaker 8: prided myself on that. And when I did a great job,
Speaker 8: you know, he just telled me, hey, great job. It
Speaker 8: wasn't too ecstatic, but you know, I know he appreciated
Speaker 8: it was coming from a great place, and when there
Speaker 8: was something that I could do better, he'd let me
Speaker 8: know too as well. So I appreciate this his style
Speaker 8: of coaching. It pushed me to be better and there's
Speaker 8: a lot of guys who embrace it as well.
Speaker 3: It's one of the best parts of being undrafted, right,
Speaker 3: is when they give you the spot, it's earned, right.
Speaker 3: It's not just like assumed because well, you're a first rounder,
Speaker 3: we have to play. It's like, no, you're undrafted. You
Speaker 3: got there because you earned your way there.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 8: I mean, you know it may take a little bit longer,
Speaker 8: you know, coming from a guy who's undrafted, you know,
Speaker 8: you may have to continue to prove yourself here and
Speaker 8: there a few more times.
Speaker 5: But that's just the nature of the beast. Coming in
Speaker 5: as an undrafted guy.
Speaker 8: It's really just like, hey, I was a productive player
Speaker 8: in college, came out hurt, and so I understand my
Speaker 8: talents and I understand I have to earn, you know,
Speaker 8: my spot on the roster and show why I'm supposed
Speaker 8: to be here, and so I try to do that
Speaker 8: as best as possible.
Speaker 5: All Right, that's the voice of Anthony Harris.
Speaker 3: Muscle asked him other weird questions tonight at the event.
Speaker 5: It's gonna be fun. That was a good question. I
Speaker 5: like that, the most Vikings country question of all time.
Speaker 5: I love it.
