Speaker 3: with his offense.
Speaker 2: We need that Mark Cuban money.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, we needed the best buy money, Like,
Speaker 1: can Dick Schultz give us a bunch of money? Is

Speaker 1: That's your dad's favorite movie of all time?
Speaker 2: It is, ye, man, I should have bought him that
Speaker 2: for Christmas.
Speaker 1: Then you can just google it.
Speaker 2: You say weird things, we're trying to do sports stuff.
Speaker 1: No, it's the news. We were talking about nil and
Speaker 1: raising money for the Gophers and Hogan's heroes. You brought
Speaker 1: it up.
Speaker 5: Let me ask a question. Maybe they should have recruited
Speaker 5: Parish to play hockey there he could donate some money.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I would have liked to see Parish. That to you,
Speaker 3: but the guy didn't know a position. I would have
Speaker 3: been born yet.
Speaker 1: Makatokato. Yeah that makes more sense because he's from man Cato.
Speaker 1: It makes is called the Taylor Center. But is that
Speaker 1: the has family donates? Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 2: Is it universe? Is it called the University of Minnesota Mankato?
Speaker 1: It's Minnesota State University.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 3: I don't know if they include Mankato, but I think
Speaker 3: people still refer to as Mankato.
Speaker 1: So who's the richest person that went to the UM.
Speaker 1: We need to find them and convince them that they're
Speaker 1: doing something wrong. Uh.
Speaker 5: Richard Schultz is a huge benefactor for Saint Thomas. He
Speaker 5: didn't go damn it donates a lot of He gifted
Speaker 5: them fifty million dollars.
Speaker 1: They don't need more money than you does. Saint Thomas
Speaker 1: is sweet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, ay sweet, no doubt about that.
Speaker 1: The best buy money the yeah, filled the agony went
Speaker 1: to Thomas and how rich is filled the agony. I
Speaker 1: think he's pretty does pretty well. But he doesn't live
Speaker 1: here anymore. No, he lives in Seattle. Remember he goes
Speaker 1: to any any works for a company based out of Boston. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he's still based in Seattle. We learned that last week.
Speaker 1: It was critical to this show's success. Yeah, it sounds
Speaker 1: like it have to be so sassy. I was being serious.
Speaker 2: Why did you think he was being even.
Speaker 1: You don't understand tone.
Speaker 5: Yeah, somebody called John E Lyndall manages billions and assets.
Speaker 5: He might be this is from AI. He might be
Speaker 5: the richest person from the u Alon.
Speaker 1: Cargil, Austin Cargill, Cargills. You know there's money there. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now it might be Quoy Parish. But he got money
Speaker 1: from Oregon. That was fun. Yeah, we can't have nice
Speaker 1: things here. It's all right, all right, time for the news.
Speaker 2: Yeah, are you going to take an ielda to go
Speaker 2: somewhere and leave us? Parker?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm weighing out my options. I can't blame yet.
Speaker 2: I Netflix is preparing gay revised all cash offer for
Speaker 2: Warner Brothers Discoveries, streaming and studio business. Netflix has already
Speaker 2: offered eighty three billion dollars in cash hand stock. Paramount
Speaker 2: sky Dance has had a temporary hostile takeover of Warner Brothers.
Speaker 2: Everybody wants it out.
Speaker 1: Oh, just a lot of money.
Speaker 2: Just let me know how many different Netflix accounts I've
Speaker 2: got so I can cancel them?
Speaker 1: Please? Got forty of.
Speaker 2: Them or fifty?
Speaker 1: You have that many? Probably he was handing them out
Speaker 1: at the line to get into Buffalo Wild Wings.
Speaker 2: What I do?
Speaker 7: Man?
Speaker 1: I bet you gave away like eight hundred dollars that?
Speaker 2: Who cares? They make it long sheet. A new survey
Speaker 2: says more Americans are spending less time looking at screens,
Speaker 2: and it seems to be making them happier.
Speaker 1: Good.
Speaker 2: What are they doing this survey? Yeah, TikTok from the
Speaker 2: Talker Research finds that gen z is actually leading the
Speaker 2: charge when it comes to unplugging.
Speaker 1: Nice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. With more than sixty percent intentionally putting
Speaker 2: down the smartphones, those numbers start going down. The older
Speaker 2: people are people who report spending too much time online
Speaker 2: feel less connected and more anxious, while those intentionally logging
Speaker 2: off report feeling more productive and horny.
Speaker 1: Wow, good correlation.
Speaker 8: I guess you feel better about yourself when you're productive.
Speaker 3: It makes sense. Yeah, what do you think they're looking at?
Speaker 3: Instead of screens pictures of Bet Midler?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes sense. You don't want to ask me
Speaker 1: this printed. They're looking at prockets to the internet.
Speaker 2: They're looking into the darkness that is existence.
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's good, Sure, it's good man.
Speaker 2: They're like, you know what, all bets are off, Baby,
Speaker 2: let's do some stuff.
Speaker 1: What I love it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all fun.
Speaker 1: Am I right? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Man, you guys aren't helping me at all.
Speaker 1: I'm listening.
Speaker 2: That's what I said.
Speaker 1: Well played, that was great. That was great. I would
Speaker 1: give you a gold star if I had some.

Speaker 1: Yeah, man, Brian Bellows was great, old kind. I love
Speaker 1: Brian Fellows. He was born in ninety eight. What is
Speaker 1: the great guy too?
Speaker 2: I think that guy's the most underrated comedian of our generation.
Speaker 1: Tracy Morgan, I think he's Yeah, he is so funny,
Speaker 1: really good.
Speaker 2: He is so good. Where'd you bring up Brian Fellows?
Speaker 1: Brian Bellows, he played for the north Stars. He was sweet.
Speaker 1: He asked me about Keefer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, we weren't yet mad at you were met him?
Speaker 1: Sorry? How well? He named two Keefers on the planet Earth.
Speaker 1: There's eight billion people right now. There's a Keifer Sykes
Speaker 1: who played for the Pacers in like twenty twenty or
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. I don't remember that name it. I'll take
Speaker 1: your word for it.
Speaker 2: On Sunday and said, what's this keeper?
Speaker 1: What's the Keefer? Is it that the yogurt drake is?
Speaker 1: Is it keffier? Keifer? Is that the one that makes
Speaker 1: you poop? Yeah? Oh, got a lot of TV. That's
Speaker 1: a lot of fiber there. It wasn't that Jamie Lee
Speaker 1: Curtis uses to stay regular. Wasn't wasn't one of the
Speaker 1: bits that on one of the seasons of twenty four,
Speaker 1: who's the guy in I know what you did last summer?
Speaker 2: Oh? John Jimpson and did your favorite movie?
Speaker 1: All that? Freddy Prince Junior. He's saying that for Sutherland
Speaker 1: is like the worst human on the planet. I don't
Speaker 1: know that.
Speaker 5: He just bullied him and he was just a douche.
Speaker 5: That's what I heard.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's top ten worst people on the planet.
Speaker 5: I think he's pretty bad, and I think he likes
Speaker 5: to throw him back. I think that's why he's doing
Speaker 5: ryde charlote eight am Sammer all the time.
Speaker 1: That's responsible as hell.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that the man he's gonna drive responsive about getting.
Speaker 2: Maybe that guy had a face that needed hitting.
Speaker 5: Maybe that guy tried to steal his women.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how on Keith's side.
Speaker 1: But think about what Sauces did. That was old school
Speaker 1: of sauce. Accidentally, remember back in the day, right Keith
Speaker 1: for Sutherland? A guy I went to high school, Uh
Speaker 1: that I went to high school with, knew him, said
Speaker 1: he was a total dick.
Speaker 2: He used to say that all the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what basically just said. Freddy Prince Junior said
Speaker 1: he's a total douche. I believe. I think that's a thing.
Speaker 2: But what if Freddy Prince is the douche?
Speaker 1: Now? He seems very nice, so I'm gonna give Freddy
Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt. It seems like a lovely gentleman.
Speaker 1: But what if Keifer was just having a bad day
Speaker 1: and Freddy Prince Junior is holding it against him? Pepper
Speaker 1: he yeah what I mean twenty fourteen? Keifer?
Speaker 5: No, wait, Freddy Prince Junior said he's unprofessional, and it
Speaker 5: made almost made him quit acting dang.
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, but listen, bud.
Speaker 2: He was having a bad day.
Speaker 1: He was having a bad day. Yeah, it was Daniel Potter. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and look Freddy Prince Junior goes home to Sarah Michelle Geller. Right,
Speaker 1: So does he have bad days? Oh? Maybe not all
Speaker 1: the time? Man, What has Keifer been up to? It
Speaker 1: sounds like point three.
Speaker 2: He has been whooping ass? Yeah. Yeah. The long rumored
Speaker 2: most depressing day of the years almost here. Blue Monday
Speaker 2: generally generally occurs every third Monday in January this year
Speaker 2: from January nineteenth. It's time when people are starting to
Speaker 2: feel sad due to broken New Year's resolutions, the after Christmas,
Speaker 2: financial stress, and bad weather. The theory came from a
Speaker 2: marketing campaign developed by a UK psychologist for a travel
Speaker 2: company twenty years ago. The many mental health experts say
Speaker 2: that although it can feel very real, it's actually not
Speaker 2: based on any clinical data.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Blue Monday, great, great song. If we had the
Speaker 1: ability to play music and have it on the podcast,
Speaker 1: you could play the New Order version or Orgy's version.
Speaker 1: They're both ten out of ten. Love that song. One
Speaker 1: of the best songs in the eighties. It's so good,
Speaker 1: so good.
Speaker 5: Hey, hogs, what did you see the twenty twenty five
Speaker 5: film with Keefer Sutherlnen Rebel Wilson called tinsel Town.
Speaker 1: Yeah it's good, right.
Speaker 2: It's great. It's Christmas movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, tinsil Town.
Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, yep, it's great. It's about a city made
Speaker 2: out of fake decorations.
Speaker 1: Oh did you cry?
Speaker 2: I did cry. I cried when the dog died.
Speaker 1: Well spoiler, yeah, not to dwell on names, but what
Speaker 1: studio exects, like, give me Rebel and Keefer, then we're
Speaker 1: gonna make my town. Yeah, found a genie. You can't
Speaker 1: do it.
Speaker 6: You can't do it anymore, because apparently Rebel Wilson will
Speaker 6: never act again after working with Kiefer Sutherlands, DJ says
Speaker 6: into retirement four it was the best show I ever
Speaker 6: met ever. Oh, John, I learned how to use a
Speaker 6: VCR because I needed to record it back in the day.
Speaker 1: Oh. I don't know if Parker even knows what that is.
Speaker 5: No, it took a real bad turn about season six,
Speaker 5: but yeah it got brought back.
Speaker 1: Season eight saved it, but then the ending. It probably
Speaker 1: should have killed him at the end, but they it's
Speaker 1: so good though.
Speaker 2: They should have killed kiefer Son. How bad was it?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 5: I think one of the seasons was during the writers
Speaker 5: strike that you could tell it was the.
Speaker 2: All the writers on this show. Obviously strict.
Speaker 1: Strike, no strict. That was the word that the replacement
Speaker 1: writers gave us.
Speaker 2: They don't spell.
Speaker 1: Season four was the best. Obviously it was so good O'Brien,
Speaker 1: all of it.
Speaker 2: Remember remember Chloe O'Brien, former.
Speaker 1: Kicker Melicia Cuthbert.
Speaker 2: Yeah, remember, got great show. Hockey officials are looking into
Speaker 2: what's being described as a stage to fight, involving a
Speaker 2: youth team that went viral.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so funny.
Speaker 2: It happened in the Central Penn Panthers Youth Hockey Club
Speaker 2: played an squad scrimmage during intermissions of a minor league
Speaker 2: game on Saturday in Hershey. Video shared on social media
Speaker 2: showed the team made up of players eight years old
Speaker 2: and younger. They got to fight for a minute without
Speaker 2: any adults intervening. They just let him fight. Have you
Speaker 2: seen I haven't seen?
Speaker 3: Yes, oh, Zach tweeted two or three days ago. The
Speaker 3: goalie is the best part. He just comes out of nowhere.
Speaker 3: It is full, No one's stopping. I love it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's all jumps on his own teammates. Yeah, they're saying
Speaker 3: it was all stage.
Speaker 2: Now. That seems like fun.
Speaker 1: It had.
Speaker 3: They are absolutely having a ball because usually when they're
Speaker 3: out there during like between pay periods that are called
Speaker 3: intermission intermission. Yeah, they have like a bunch of coaches
Speaker 3: out there and they're yeah, making sure everything's going right.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's not a coaching sight.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 8: One of the dark colored jerseys, he literally just don't like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, took his own team two guys, like took them
Speaker 1: both out, just see. Yeah, the goalie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's funny. Good job, guys.
Speaker 1: I'm not tweeted out.
Speaker 6: I'm the kind If anybody hasn't seen it.
Speaker 2: That's the news.
Speaker 1: Know, it's the news.
Speaker 2: We got lots of vikings audio obviously to play. In fact,
Speaker 2: it may take the next two segments to play it
Speaker 2: all because we had Quazy and KOs talking about quarterbacks
Speaker 2: and more yesterday and they answered some hard questions and
Speaker 2: they were way more open about things that I thought
Speaker 2: they were going to be. Have you heard it yet?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I heard one clip on Common Show yesterday.
Speaker 1: I heard the whole thing about j J McCarthy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's interesting. That's an interesting, that's interesting, that's play. Thank you.
Speaker 1: I get some of the inside jokes, most of them, arame,
Speaker 1: did Rosie right? He's mad at heart.
Speaker 2: I don't know why he's mad at me. I love
Speaker 2: him hawks someone who stands up before I always do
Speaker 2: you know what you hurt? The ones you love?
Speaker 1: Oh? I love the ones? You heard that?
Speaker 7: The truth?
Speaker 2: Brother Pool, you just blew my mind.
Speaker 1: Zascl wak Us through sports after this pow Archer Money Show,
Speaker 1: Home of Mary White and the Fan.
Speaker 2: Yeah, get more to everybody Partrick mor Show High yesterday,
Speaker 2: A KOC and Crazy both talked about the quarterback situation.
Speaker 2: We'll play a lot of it during Viking's News. But
Speaker 2: here's a little uh snippet.
Speaker 4: Ultimately, I think in the quarterback room it's about having
Speaker 4: just the deepest talented room you kept possibly can't each
Speaker 4: and every year. What that looks like at a at
Speaker 4: a pretty impactful position on your salary cap when you're
Speaker 4: able to possibly you know, plan for your depth chart,
Speaker 4: looking in a way where you could be competitive no
Speaker 4: matter what.
Speaker 2: Hm hm hmm. There's an interesting one from Crazy this time.
Speaker 2: Did you overestimate JJ McCarthy's readiness to play quarterback?
Speaker 9: The information we had was all good, but it was admittedly,
Speaker 9: you know, incomplete and small sample. So ultimately we trusted
Speaker 9: and the information we had, we trusted our coaches, we
Speaker 9: trusted the team around him to do that. And so
Speaker 9: it's hard to really when you think about that and
Speaker 9: then go look at the back at the season as
Speaker 9: I talked about, you saw the improvement at the end.
Speaker 9: You saw the flashes of the player we thought he
Speaker 9: could be. So in that sense, you know, I can't
Speaker 9: say that we're over confident. Maybe the timing didn't work
Speaker 9: out with other aspects of our team, whether that be
Speaker 9: injuries or different things like that, but you know, ultimately
Speaker 9: we're comfortable with where we are. We're excited about where.
Speaker 1: You can go back to the first one about you know,
Speaker 1: the rookie deal and the advantage if you have a
Speaker 1: quarterback and a rookie contract versus like a max kind
Speaker 1: of a contract. Guy. I mean, the eight teams that
Speaker 1: are left in the postseason, it's half and half really,
Speaker 1: half have giant contracts, half have rookie deals. Right, because
Speaker 1: you have Josh Allen and the Bills, Rock Purdy and
Speaker 1: the Niners. Sam Donald's making thirty I would say, that's
Speaker 1: not a rookie deal. It's not sixty million like some
Speaker 1: of these guys, but that's a lot. So you got
Speaker 1: Donald and the Seahawks, and you have Stafford in the Rams, Yeah, Boon, NICKX,
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, Drake May and c J. Stroud. So it's
Speaker 1: four and four. Yeah. So this is a year that
Speaker 1: you could argue it can work either way. Yep, and
Speaker 1: you just have to have a guy. All eight of
Speaker 1: these guys are super good. So it's like, yeah, these
Speaker 1: guys are good enough to get you to the postseason,
Speaker 1: good enough to get you to Round two.
Speaker 5: And the Patriots nailed it last year. They had a
Speaker 5: ton of cap space. They nailed that with all the
Speaker 5: people they signed. The Bears did the same with the
Speaker 5: offensive line pieces they added, and then both teams nailed
Speaker 5: it in the draft. I mean the Bears Coaston Lovelin
Speaker 5: is one of the better players in last year's draft
Speaker 5: that he is on fire for the Bears. And then
Speaker 5: the Luther Burden they took him the second round. He's outstanding. Yeah,
Speaker 5: they made some good drafts, Yes they did. So is
Speaker 5: JJ one of those guys?
Speaker 1: Don't know?
Speaker 2: Almost it's time for a fan five on the Power
Speaker 2: Trip presented by all Around, your Timber Tech deck building contractor.
Speaker 1: Thanks all Around. Mike Tomlin stepped down after nineteen seasons
Speaker 1: as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 5: He was one ninety three and one fourteen and two
Speaker 5: in his career. The Steelers will search for their fourth
Speaker 5: coach since nineteen sixty nine. Wow, I had no idea
Speaker 5: he was with the Vikings. To be honest with you, too, younger,
Speaker 5: I'll tell yesterday. Yeah, two thousand and three, something like that.
Speaker 1: Two thousand it was, I was an intern here. I
Speaker 1: think it was six. Yeah, it makes sense.
Speaker 5: He was a like you could just tell, just without
Speaker 5: even talking to him, you could tell he was like
Speaker 5: a different breed. Oh, the aura he had was unbelievable. Yeah,
Speaker 5: he's great.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Never had a losing season, then that's incredible. Yeah, it's
Speaker 3: incredible in pro sports.
Speaker 1: Yep. The Wolves without and and Rudy smoked the Bucks
Speaker 1: one thirty nine, one oh six. The Bucks had the
Speaker 1: Greek freak, but Julius had twenty nine points. Your Wolves
Speaker 1: are twenty seven and fourteen. They've only lost one game
Speaker 1: this month, and they battle the Rockets in Houston on
Speaker 1: Friday Parker.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that'll be a tough one against the Rockets. Holf
Speaker 3: Anthony Verwards can play. He sat out last night and
Speaker 3: then Rudy Gobert was serving his technical suspension.
Speaker 1: But they looked really good.
Speaker 3: Bones Highland was really good off the bench, which is
Speaker 3: a good sight for Wolves fans, and Dante di Vincenzo
Speaker 3: played well and we got to see Joan Baron Jay
Speaker 3: off the bench, the young French cat, so I think
Speaker 3: there's uh the Frenchman, but I think there's some excitement
Speaker 3: around him. Obviously, you know, Rudy's your guy, but when
Speaker 3: he's serving suspension, you need some depth. So they went
Speaker 3: with you and Baron Jay. He played well and they
Speaker 3: smoke the Bucks. So great.
Speaker 1: Great to get the first one on a four game
Speaker 1: road trip OWL Hello the.
Speaker 5: Wild Battle the Jets Perry tomorrow at seven year Wilder
Speaker 5: winless and for their last five.
Speaker 1: You can hear that game on the fan.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I going through a little bit of a tough
Speaker 8: stretch right now road trip. You know, obviously some overtime
Speaker 8: losses in there too, so it's a little bit deceiving.
Speaker 1: There for the last five losses.
Speaker 8: But uh yeah, last game of the home stand here
Speaker 8: before they go back on the road for three games
Speaker 8: against Winnipeg here, who has won their last three. Even
Speaker 8: though the near the bottom of the division, excuse me
Speaker 8: the conference, they have won three in a row and
Speaker 8: still have some spectacle hockey players. But the Wild finally
Speaker 8: were able to get a little bit of rest, you know,
Speaker 8: coming off coming home from that two week road trip
Speaker 8: and then playing every other day, it kind of feels
Speaker 8: like you're still on the road trip a little bit.
Speaker 8: So finally getting a couple of days, you know, especially
Speaker 8: mental day, to just completely check out and get away
Speaker 8: from the rink is huge. So no excuses for the
Speaker 8: boys for this last home game before we head out
Speaker 8: onto the road.
Speaker 2: What a story mark on State University.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I concur that that that rest is a huge thing,
Speaker 6: and to come off that long ass road trip to
Speaker 6: have to come back and play and they played not
Speaker 6: terrible on Saturday. They played actually really well on Saturday.
Speaker 6: Yeah they did, could have played a little better on Monday,
Speaker 6: but regardless, Yeah, that they're going to get their head on,
Speaker 6: heads on straight and hopefully get a whole another streak going.
Speaker 2: Do you feel perish that when you answer a question
Speaker 2: and he immediately asked Zach that he is questioning your veracity.
Speaker 2: Be honest, like Zach is the real expert here. You
Speaker 2: never feel like that because that's the way it sounds.
Speaker 1: Like, what, let's try this with basketball now, I will
Speaker 1: because you're the expert, Zach is you know, like you
Speaker 1: didn't play any in the NHL, Baker played college basketball.
Speaker 1: I did not ask ask Parker a question about Gopher
Speaker 1: basketball and then immediately talk about it.
Speaker 7: I am.
Speaker 1: How come you ask him about the Gopher basketball team
Speaker 1: then ask me no, no, no, don't. Yeah, I asked him
Speaker 1: a question, though, go for basketball your thoughts there you go.
Speaker 3: That's great, Thank you Meat Sauce for your question. The
Speaker 3: Gopher basketball team is good, Corey.
Speaker 1: I concur. No, I was just I wanted to keep
Speaker 1: Zach going because his opinions.
Speaker 2: On's got plenty to do.
Speaker 1: Okay, do you remember?
Speaker 2: Are you question how much work he's got to do?
Speaker 2: You say, there doing nothing, Zach?
Speaker 1: What you they're doing?
Speaker 2: I'm still.
Speaker 1: When you he was looking at a camera too. It's
Speaker 1: funny that Zach said, I concur because if you remember
Speaker 1: the movie Catch Me if you can with Leonardo DiCaprio.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, when he has to pretend to be a doctor.
Speaker 1: He watches a movie and in the movie, the doctor
Speaker 1: keeps saying like, do you concur Yes, I concur so.
Speaker 1: When he gets into the operating room, he just keeps
Speaker 1: saying I concur which means he's a fraud and he's lying.
Speaker 1: He'sn't always doing so. When Paris said here's what's going
Speaker 1: on with the wild so on and so forth, and
Speaker 1: Zachly goes, I concur ye, that's that's Frank at McNeil
Speaker 1: junior over there just faking it right. He wasn't even listening.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't concur I thought they were terrible on Monday,
Speaker 3: he does not concur. I thought they were horrible. No energy, Sauce,
Speaker 3: do you concur very flat?
Speaker 5: What are we talk min w I knew it? Yeah,
Speaker 5: I agree with Parker. Yeah we're terrible. They meet Sauce Saturday.
Speaker 1: They were good.
Speaker 8: The Islanders are just they're at the front end of
Speaker 8: a two week road trip. The Wilder at the back
Speaker 8: end of a two week road trip, and the you
Speaker 8: know those young legs say those boys can skate, uh,
Speaker 8: and we're able to pull out that one and the Islanders.
Speaker 1: Put on the.
Speaker 8: One way to shut down superstar goalscorers like Matt Boldie
Speaker 8: and Coroll Caprice office.
Speaker 2: I mean that would that would you know what?
Speaker 1: I gotta be honestly, that would work.
Speaker 8: But yeah, the one way to stop superstar goals scores
Speaker 8: is to find yourself a superstar goaltender. Ilius Rocans easily
Speaker 8: top five probably argue will arguably top you know two
Speaker 8: or three in the in the NHL, and he was
Speaker 8: on full display late in the third period there with
Speaker 8: Capriz of everybody there was there were he was under
Speaker 8: fire and he was just doing his thing, not breaking
Speaker 8: a swat.
Speaker 6: See well said there with all due respect on the
Speaker 6: on Monday though the other team didn't need a goaltender. Yeah,
Speaker 6: the ways the Devil didn't need their goaltender.
Speaker 1: It was it was not good. That was fun game
Speaker 1: for me. I got to go to that one.
Speaker 3: I sat with Ellen, Ellen Hughes, Quinn and Jackie Nice
Speaker 3: to watch the way she watched a game with kids
Speaker 3: on both sides was was definitely interesting. You could tell
Speaker 3: she was she was stressed out. But yeah, the all
Speaker 3: three of the boys played well.
Speaker 1: All your hands up, Ellen Hughes.
Speaker 2: I did not answer that question because I did not
Speaker 2: wish to get up.
Speaker 1: Do you believe he would.
Speaker 8: I've heard they're incredibly nice people.
Speaker 1: They're terrific people. Get lined up for you.
Speaker 3: So Ellen is on staff with USA Hockey with Taylor,
Speaker 3: so she does a bunch of Gill stuff and stuff
Speaker 3: with her in the summer. And then yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 3: They're great people, and well what would she know? Yeah right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: her kids.
Speaker 1: Are terrible at hockey, amazing.
Speaker 3: Talent jacks about as fast as they come to It's
Speaker 3: so much fun to watch Ellen.
Speaker 1: All your You're saying something over there. Yeah he would, Yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah he would. Yeah, you're very offensive like me. Me's
Speaker 1: gonna come in and beat you up.
Speaker 2: He's gonna beat you up.
Speaker 1: Did you see the Islanders stayed an extra day and
Speaker 1: went to house.
Speaker 8: That's like the coolest thing. Yeah, yeah, he told me.
Speaker 8: I spoke with him in the pregame skate. He was
Speaker 8: really excited about that.
Speaker 1: So cool. The ice made up that's and those that
Speaker 1: like that's.
Speaker 8: Those are the bonding experiences that that really really matter.
Speaker 8: You don't forget that stuff. He is an amazing man.
Speaker 2: He's average at best.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's pretty amazing.
Speaker 2: Isn't okay, cool, I don't ever met him.
Speaker 1: Amazing. He's a great guy and he does a.
Speaker 8: Lot, didn't he sure did. Yeah, he listens. He's a
Speaker 8: he's a fan. When he comes back in the summer,
Speaker 8: he's listening. Well, he is always welcome, open door. Well
Speaker 8: we don't cast that on.
Speaker 1: I get a player. Since Abbot's listening, I know God
Speaker 1: is watching us. He's not from even in the summer.
Speaker 1: He's always busy Monday through Thursday. Yeah, but Friday he
Speaker 1: could come in. Yeah you know, I mean that must
Speaker 1: be like a hockey player thing that they're just not

Speaker 2: levels at Lake Mead. Holy moly, sup lot terrain.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, any more dead bodies, I'm sure, I'm sure
Speaker 1: any more skeletal remains of mayors.
Speaker 2: Probably probably hopefully not John Mayer.
Speaker 1: All right, hand my memories, Sarah, What was it Leber's uncle? Yes? Uncle? Right? Yep?
Speaker 1: Is that the right connection where they think that who
Speaker 1: knows any are correct? Sir? Who's something like that? I
Speaker 1: think you're right. I think you are right. Now Lake Mead,
Speaker 1: we should go cover this story.
Speaker 2: We need we need to find out and take some
Speaker 2: water with us.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Good, Yeah, because otherwise it's like thirteen dollars at
Speaker 1: the casino. So let's just get some water out of
Speaker 1: Lake Mead.
Speaker 5: It'll give you free water well hockets in Vegas hockets, Parker,
Speaker 5: you ignorant slush?
Speaker 1: How did hocket it for free?
Speaker 2: I'm a high roller?
Speaker 1: Yeah? How do we get Parker Fox to Vegas with us?
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty six? I'm coming play here we go? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Ask Plane is probably the best. Yes play it is
Speaker 1: a good way. Yeah. Train automobile by the way. Uh
Speaker 1: podcast recommendation. I don't know if you guys heard Barrero
Speaker 1: the other day when uh, oh Man, what's this guy's
Speaker 1: name from thrifty travel guy? Oh Ony Power? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: John John's. He was fantastic and he broke down the
Speaker 1: Allegiance Sun Country deal and what it's going to mean
Speaker 1: and what it might mean, and how good it could be,
Speaker 1: how bad it could be. Anyway. It was like two
Speaker 1: segments and it was fascinating and for informative. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: overall sentiment is this is not great, but it also
Speaker 1: might not be the end of the world. Pros and cons, right,
Speaker 1: the cons might be the price, the pros might be
Speaker 1: the availability. There might be a whole bunch of new routes.
Speaker 1: There might be, you know, multiple options to cities like Vegas.
Speaker 1: Who knows, but I thought his breakdown was outstanding. I
Speaker 1: think I retained about ten percent of that's the best
Speaker 1: way to Vegas?
Speaker 8: Though?
Speaker 1: Is that? Sun Country fly Right agreed? That's that's that.
Speaker 1: I hope there's seven a day instead of three a day,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Fair enough? Like vegetables, Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: zero today is the right answer. Like vegetables, you.
Speaker 5: Don't need any of them. Zero if you had to
Speaker 5: like it? Is there one where you're like, I wish
Speaker 5: I could try it, but you're a phobia doesn't allow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably cinnamon roles, but then no, no potatoes at
Speaker 1: what about.
Speaker 2: A cucumber eat tatoes, onion eat French fries?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's I mean, come on, is that a vegetable? Plants?
Speaker 1: Come on? Never? I send that emoji all the time,
Speaker 1: but I've never hear you do. That's why. Nope, No,
Speaker 1: hey man, I'm still here. It's working out. I have
Speaker 1: a phobia of cucumbers.
Speaker 6: Why you have a story, Yeah, no, LL make something
Speaker 6: up close and you like to know.
Speaker 1: But I'm always just sat in the I didn't know
Speaker 1: that works, thank you.
Speaker 3: Always afraid of cucumbers, the smell. I will like if
Speaker 3: somebody is having a salad with cucumbers the same table
Speaker 3: as me, I will ask them to eat the cucumbers first,
Speaker 3: so they remove from the table.
Speaker 1: That's a weird that it is weird, like severe phobia.
Speaker 3: If Taylor has like any sort of food with cucumbers,
Speaker 3: like I will if the waitress comes and like brings
Speaker 3: the plate and the cucumbers are facing me, I'll like
Speaker 3: immediately turn the plate.
Speaker 1: So Parker. By the way, we meet on Tuesdays and
Speaker 1: Thursdays at five pm at the Saint Louis Park.
Speaker 3: Okay, thanks, I'm to do the group. Okay, thank you
Speaker 3: so much. Hey, just yeah, they scare me. I can
Speaker 3: smell them from a mile away. Two mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a fun fact to the day. Fun right now,
Speaker 1: do that times three thousand different foods and then you
Speaker 1: can understand what me zach tend to be Blake Moore
Speaker 1: and I'll overs go through.
Speaker 3: That's why you get so happy when you see raising
Speaker 3: canes my happy place.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like you know, it's like Julie Bowen in a
Speaker 1: swim or a lingerie and a little person riding around
Speaker 1: on a tricycle and my grandma winning it slots and
Speaker 1: August Journal.
Speaker 2: On the Power Trip presented by.
Speaker 1: Yes Journal. Anybody hear journal? I no? Does?
Speaker 2: Can you read it?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Sure, you'd be depressed.
Speaker 1: Digitally or by hand? Do you write it? Or do
Speaker 1: you type it into like your phone? You do? Yeah?
Speaker 1: My wife writes that's the only way to go, right, Yeah?
Speaker 1: I do not. How often is your wife journal? I
Speaker 1: think every day? That's sweet, dear Diary. Can you imagine
Speaker 1: today Paul knocked his phone off the bed and spent
Speaker 1: ten minutes waking me up looking for it. Then he
Speaker 1: just hulk smashed the remote, which is between us. But
Speaker 1: somehow he knocked it off the bed, and he was
Speaker 1: unbelievably frustrated and loud, and I tried to tell him
Speaker 1: that if you put your phone under your pillow, there's
Speaker 1: actually a fire hazard, but he didn't listen to me.
Speaker 1: And he has the largest pillow of a human I've
Speaker 1: ever seen in my life.
Speaker 5: I have one of those cube pillows that Hawk told
Speaker 5: me to get.
Speaker 10: It's the size of the sphere. I agree. It mean yesterday,
Speaker 10: KOs and both spoke. Was there a regular end of
Speaker 10: season press conference? And they addressed a lot of different things.
Speaker 10: We've talked a lot about it this morning, but.
Speaker 1: Well, can I ask you one question before we even
Speaker 1: get to that. Sure, do we have any idea why
Speaker 1: it got delayed a week?
Speaker 2: For all the events going on? Where was this? And
Speaker 2: people are being dragged out of their homes?
Speaker 1: Got it? So it was that that's right, because when
Speaker 1: it first got delayed, there were football rumors, right, it
Speaker 1: was quasy in trouble? Is this Brian Flores related? Like
Speaker 1: what are they waiting for? The Okay, that's the case.
Speaker 1: That makes way more sense. But it was weird that
Speaker 1: the day that it was supposed to happen it got
Speaker 1: bumped back a week. Interesting, Okay, yep, that's what it was.
Speaker 2: Yep. They figured out there were more important things to
Speaker 2: talk about. Sure, yep, KOC on the JJ Max situation home, We're.
Speaker 4: Still looking at a quarterback who's you know, started ten games,
Speaker 4: ten out of what possible, thirty four in two years.
Speaker 4: Not the ideal path for a young quarterback to develop
Speaker 4: on the field. But but I thought he did. I
Speaker 4: thought he did some really good things. And and JJ
Speaker 4: McCarthy is a guy that wants to be great. I
Speaker 4: know he's gonna work tirelessly to do that. I know
Speaker 4: his teammates have a lot of confidence in what he's
Speaker 4: going to go to work to improve on this offseason
Speaker 4: and come back and have a great offseason and be
Speaker 4: ready to hit the ground running.
Speaker 2: So why don't you at least want to be great?
Speaker 1: I don't know, that's a good question. I don't think
Speaker 1: we have enough time.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I used to yoused to want to be great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just uh yeah, what changed? I don't know, reality, reality,
Speaker 1: my self esteem. You run out of time, run out
Speaker 1: of time. Yeah, that's about it. Plus food, right, and food?
Speaker 1: I like food. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Koc on bringing another quarterback in to push JJ mack No.
Speaker 4: I think there has to be. I think that's what's
Speaker 4: going to make everybody better in that room. It's going
Speaker 4: to be what makes our entire offense, you know, thrive
Speaker 4: through that competition. And I think even if you ask
Speaker 4: justin Jefferson, he's competing every single day. He's the best
Speaker 4: in the world at what he does, but he's still
Speaker 4: competing every single day to maximize what you know, who
Speaker 4: he is as a player and ultimately achieve the greatness
Speaker 4: that he's destined to achieve.
Speaker 1: But that should be how our entire organization looks.
Speaker 2: At Crazy also spoke. They asked him about quarterback decisions
Speaker 2: he made last year.
Speaker 1: He spent a lot of those nights.
Speaker 9: Obviously, you know, you're up in these decisions and they're
Speaker 9: uncertain and you're trying to make sure that you don't
Speaker 9: lock yourselves into what you did and thinking that it's
Speaker 9: always right. And so there's those nights that you wake
Speaker 9: up and start at the ceiling and ask yourself. But
Speaker 9: I always go back to the process and what we
Speaker 9: thought at the time. It's easier to kind of go
Speaker 9: and be revisioned and results base, but going to really
Speaker 9: think through what we had at the time, I still
Speaker 9: understand why we did what we did.
Speaker 10: That's interesting, right, Yeah, Yeah, they don't sound thrill No,
Speaker 10: they don't.
Speaker 1: They I mean they really don't.
Speaker 5: And when they were both Quzy was asked yesterday, I
Speaker 5: think by Alec Lewis is basically is JJ McCarthy your
Speaker 5: starter week one?
Speaker 9: And he didn't say yes. You know, I want the
Speaker 9: Vikings to achieve our goals. And I think one of
Speaker 9: those goals is to make playoff runs and do different
Speaker 9: things like that. I think he is the character and
Speaker 9: ability to be the person to do that for our organization.
Speaker 9: If I say that in twenty twenty six, that kind
Speaker 9: of binds us into a certain you know area. The
Speaker 9: way we set this team up, we built this court
Speaker 9: to really, like we've always talked about, give ourselves multiple
Speaker 9: shots at it because you never know when there's going
Speaker 9: to be a year where the field field it's a
Speaker 9: little bit wide open and you can make that run
Speaker 9: or and so that's what we're really focused on talking about,
Speaker 9: whether it's this year or next year is and really
Speaker 9: you know, my my my immediate reflection, it's my job
Speaker 9: to really bring that deep competitive room that we've talked
Speaker 9: about to the bike.
Speaker 1: Yeah around that didn't he not good? That's not good
Speaker 1: if you're McCarthy.
Speaker 2: Well, and they asked, he was asked, can JJ Max
Speaker 2: survive an entire season?
Speaker 9: Availability is a skill, as they say, and you're talking
Speaker 9: about a player who's incredibly tough, didn't.
Speaker 2: Miss Availability is a skill.
Speaker 9: Availability is a skill, as they say, And you're talking
Speaker 9: about a player who's incredibly tough, didn't miss games in
Speaker 9: college and that was one of the things we've we
Speaker 9: talked about and me we went to the people in
Speaker 9: the building in Michigan. They told us the things he
Speaker 9: fought through and different things like that, and that's really
Speaker 9: not different than the player we've gotten here, the type
Speaker 9: of player that finished the game when he when he
Speaker 9: had a kne injury that would take him out for
Speaker 9: the season. And so ultimately that is something that's we're
Speaker 9: more mindful of. Given the just how it's happened. We're
Speaker 9: in control. We can control, though, how do we get
Speaker 9: him right? From a mechanical standpay, from a decision making standpoint.
Speaker 1: Yeah, every pro athletes.
Speaker 8: Biggest ability or most important ability is availability, and he isn't.
Speaker 2: Here's a JJ part to answer the question himself.
Speaker 1: Oh god, he's gained a lot of weight, you can
Speaker 1: tell my listen. Yeah, that's not good.
Speaker 5: I thought they should have come out and said, yes,
Speaker 5: he's our week one starter, we have faith in him,
Speaker 5: we drafted him.
Speaker 1: They didn't.
Speaker 5: That's not a good sign for him. No, when they asked,
Speaker 5: they weren't there. Yeah, but I just think that they
Speaker 5: know that they have to make a big swing. They
Speaker 5: they if they don't make the playoffs, next year, at
Speaker 5: least one of them will be gone, if not more people.
Speaker 5: This is a huge year for them. It's true this
Speaker 5: regime hasn't won a playoff game. That's not a knock
Speaker 5: on Koc as a person. They haven't won a playoff game,
Speaker 5: and the two biggest games they played last season in
Speaker 5: twenty twenty four, they weren't prepared. It was an awful,
Speaker 5: awful outcome. They have to go to the playoffs this season.
Speaker 5: If they think they thank you Tom. Did they think
Speaker 5: they can do with McCarthy maybe, but they didn't sound
Speaker 5: like they could yesterday and that's the only opportunity they're
Speaker 5: going to probably speak until like the week before the draft.
Speaker 2: It's interesting, though, isn't it, Because like if they had
Speaker 2: come out yesterday and said we believe in them, we'd
Speaker 2: have been like, oh, come on. And if they came
Speaker 2: out yesterday and said we're not sure, and we're like, oh,
Speaker 2: come on, you know, I mean right for this organization, right,
Speaker 2: I really am glad they were honest like that. I
Speaker 2: don't want them to come out and try to snowballs
Speaker 2: and say we loved everything we saw. If they didn't.
Speaker 8: Yeah, And that's the thing too. They want to leave
Speaker 8: their options open. They don't want to paint themselves in
Speaker 8: a corner. If something comes available that's a better option
Speaker 8: right now, and then you already have named him, then.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they they're going to look for how many
Speaker 2: times you have to say it, I'm not going to
Speaker 2: coach at Alabama? Yeah, right, I mean you get my reference, right,
Speaker 2: I mean I would rather be honest.
Speaker 1: What do you think, cor Well, I'm in the minority
Speaker 1: on the injury thing. Parker and I have talked about
Speaker 1: this on this show, right that, like getting this same
Speaker 1: injury over and over and over again is injury prone.
Speaker 1: I think McCarthy had a series of really unfortunate coincidences
Speaker 1: that are not necessarily like indicative of that he's an
Speaker 1: injury prone person. And the one at the end where
Speaker 1: he took himself out of the game it was a
Speaker 1: meaningless game.
Speaker 3: Who cares, like, I don't mean it why people are
Speaker 3: so angry about that.
Speaker 1: But so the availability is one of your abilities. I
Speaker 1: get that. But like Coyzy just said, he never missed
Speaker 1: a game in college, so he's been tough. He just
Speaker 1: had a lot of really rough things here. I definitely
Speaker 1: don't think they sound like they're thrilled about it. My
Speaker 1: thing is, who is the answer though? Even as a backup?
Speaker 3: Is there a guy out there you're like, oh, we're
Speaker 3: going to go and get him unless Max Like, I
Speaker 3: don't Mac Jones, but I think the.
Speaker 1: Trigger for it, yeah, and I think a lot of people.
Speaker 1: The reason that I don't think mac Jones will be
Speaker 1: available is this isn't a shot at your guy core.
Speaker 1: But he's been hurt a couple of times, right.
Speaker 5: And they know that their season wouldn't be where it
Speaker 5: was if they didn't have mac Jones. Yeah, they would
Speaker 5: have lost a few of those games, and who knows
Speaker 5: what they could win the Super Bowl and they so
Speaker 5: they know the value of a good backup.
Speaker 2: Listen to this, guys, listen to the Guestling podcast. They
Speaker 2: somebody asked him about as Quazy, did you low ball
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones thinking he was a for sure thing that
Speaker 2: he was going to stay here? And I hadn't heard
Speaker 2: anybody even bring that up. And here's how Quazy answered it.
Speaker 9: I don't want to say overconfidence, but I do think
Speaker 9: him being here was something that we, you know, we
Speaker 9: kind of considered and thought would would impact his decision.
Speaker 9: But Ultimately there are free agents, and to your point
Speaker 9: of learning lessons, I think, execution wise, you have to
Speaker 9: treat it as such, no matter what the conversation is
Speaker 9: or relationships are the you know, free agents are free
Speaker 9: for a reason, and they're allowed to vet all their options.
Speaker 9: And ultimately we could have executed better around that.
Speaker 2: So yes, was the answer to that question exactly, Well,
Speaker 2: how are you how about that?
Speaker 3: How are you going to lowball a twenty eight year
Speaker 3: old free agent like he's got no ties to hear?
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, doesn't care, but he seemed to want
Speaker 2: to be here, you know. I mean, I like you
Speaker 2: so no, but I hear where you kind of. I
Speaker 2: just thought that was another pretty damned interesting answer to
Speaker 2: that question. Yeah, and a great question, by the way,
Speaker 2: because I hadn't thought of that at all.
Speaker 1: Well, because it looked like on paper it was just
Speaker 1: do you think you can beat Anthony Richardson for the
Speaker 1: job or do you think you can be JJ McCarthy
Speaker 1: for the job, And it looked like it was going
Speaker 1: to be an easier path to beat Anthony Richardson, which
Speaker 1: he did like immediately right, So money aside, Maybe the
Speaker 1: Vikings just didn't think they had a chance to sign
Speaker 1: him either way, So why not just low ball them
Speaker 1: and see if you can get him. Mistake? Maybe they
Speaker 1: did underestimate it, Who knows.
Speaker 2: I had an interesting thought yesterday listening to all these two.
Speaker 2: Obviously the offensive line was cheddar cheese and beat up,
Speaker 2: and we had seventeen to nineteen different schemes of offensive line,
Speaker 2: different lineups, you know what I mean? If Carson Wentz
Speaker 2: had not gotten so beaten up, I wonder how good
Speaker 2: or bad our season would have been.
Speaker 1: He got destroy beat up.
Speaker 2: Bad, but it was because the offensive line was so
Speaker 2: beat up. I mean, I wonder because he showed some
Speaker 2: signs that he still had it, you.
Speaker 1: Know, Oh yeah, that fourth quarter drive against Cleve.
Speaker 2: Plea, Yeah, and outstanding London.
Speaker 1: So to think about what you just said, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think if Carson Wentz looks like he's a solid
Speaker 1: NFL backup at this point in his career, right, but
Speaker 1: if you run it back with McCarthy, Wentz and Brozmer,
Speaker 1: which they're not going to do. But if you ran
Speaker 1: it back with those three, Wentz is kind of the
Speaker 1: guy you would love to have a solid veteran backup
Speaker 1: behind JAJ. But you can't have the room be exactly
Speaker 1: the same or everybody's going to lose their mind. So
Speaker 1: you can't do that again.
Speaker 2: And you have question marks on the line too well,
Speaker 2: and they I'll play you one more even though I
Speaker 2: already hit the music, I might as well finish it
Speaker 2: up here. Coysey was asked basically, cam darresol play a
Speaker 2: full season.
Speaker 1: Yeah's you're removed from that injury.
Speaker 9: So time is on our side in terms of of
Speaker 9: kind of getting away from that injury point another year
Speaker 9: of rehab, strengthening and different things like that. But obviously
Speaker 9: at all parts of our team, we've seen how important
Speaker 9: he has been to our play and so when we're
Speaker 9: addressing things in draft or free agency, we have to
Speaker 9: be mindful of that. And I don't want to say insurance,
Speaker 9: but we're always trying to have a roster aspirationally as
Speaker 9: a GM when that first guy goes out, that next
Speaker 9: that guy comes in and is as good as the
Speaker 9: guy is that reality, no, but that's the mindset we
Speaker 9: got to take, and that's a position we probably got
Speaker 9: to be more mindful of that.
Speaker 1: Hey saw telp me. Also, were we not the second
Speaker 1: oldest team in the league. I think you are correct.
Speaker 1: I feel like second was the right number. I mean

Speaker 2: I mean.

Speaker 1: more ready than he was. They thought the team was
Speaker 1: more locked and loaded than they were, so they went
Speaker 1: all in. It just didn't work. But yeah, that's normally

Speaker 1: attention to that segment, I've been casually watching a Mike
Speaker 1: Tyson's punch Out playthrough on YouTube. Oh hell yeah, like
Speaker 1: a speed Yeah, they're just showing how to beat everybody
Speaker 1: as fast possible. All my fan. This is so freaking nostalgic.
