00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: Oh boy?

8
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 3: Why should anybody aspire to be a common man? An

9
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 3: average man? Do you realize what it means to be average?

10
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 3: That means you're the best of the lousiest and the

11
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 3: lousiest of the best. Now, if we demand more and

12
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 3: more for producing less and less while they have not,

13
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 3: nations encourage and inspire, and indeed require hard work and

14
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 3: maximum effort. If we deify the common man while they

15
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 3: encourage and reward the uncommon ones, well, the andrees of

16
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 3: such a lucksighted brace as that is too obvious to

17
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 3: require elaboration.

18
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 4: I mean it's like, hello, I'm a fraud.

19
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,680

Speaker 4: You know what I mean.

28
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 5: But what's also great about America You don't have to

Speaker 2: the fourth in the North. This is the common man.

44
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: Dan cole Rum begins in five actually three two one greet.

48
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 7: six point thirty. The host of this program is uninformed, unprepared,

49
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 7: and unrepentant about it. Well meander our way. We tend

50
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 7: to wing it here. I'm a radio gardener. We just

51
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 7: plant a seed, water weed it. Hopefully little sunshine breaks

52
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 7: through and we see where it goes. Radio architecture isn't

53
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 7: for us.

54
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: It's great. Radio architecture is actually the best way to

55
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: go because it's usually pretty foolproof.

56
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 7: If you're following a plan. But it's just not my

57
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 7: cup of tea, never has been, never will be. And

58
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 7: I don't like authority either, just in case. No, I

59
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 7: like police, but I just don't like it. I don't

60
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 7: like when I'm told what to do, which is what

61
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 7: happened today. Dude, who does the shopping in your house?

62
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 7: Grocery shopping? Do you your wife?

63
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 8: You're both? You send the boys out. Uh, well, we

64
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 8: don't ever go to the store, and we do it all.

65
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 8: We have it all delivered, and I would say we

66
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 8: probably share the duties.

67
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 2: So when you have it delivered, then I mean, do

68
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:48,239
Speaker 2: you get like produce and meat and you just trust

69
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 2: the person that's packing that it's going to be, because

70
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 2: sometimes it's not the way you like it.

71
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: Like.

72
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 2: I'm I'm a banana guy, as you are well aware

73
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 2: of a banana every morning.

74
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 7: Well, it was one of the You've taught me a

75
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 7: whole bunch of things. You've taught me a lot. There's

76
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 7: two or three things that I've learned from you. Is

77
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 7: one is, and it is probably the most important, is

78
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 7: the proper way to peel a banana. I used to

79
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 7: always try to tear the stammen. When you do, all

80
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 7: of a sudden, you squish three quarters of the banana.

81
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 7: And then you told me peel it from the bottom.

82
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 7: And I thought that was preposterous, much like I thought

83
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 7: having a calendar on my phone was preposterous.

84
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. And I that's the only way I

85
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: peel a banana now. But anyway, I forgot where I

86
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: was going now with that, because when when.

87
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 7: You're ordering food up, you know, you don't get your

88
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 7: pick of the litter. When it comes to the bananas,

89
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 7: they just bring it.

90
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: No.

91
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean I do have you know, I get

92
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 8: bananas every time. There's like a note section, so it

93
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 8: does say don't want the bananas too green, don't want them,

94
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 8: don't on them brown?

95
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 2: Now they don't. You're sort of like Goldilocks. In other words,

96
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: she wants it. Yeah, the porge is too hot. The

97
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 2: other porge is too cold. She wants it just right now.

98
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 8: They don't always listen to that, but for the most part, they.

99
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 2: Get it right okay.

100
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 7: And because for me, if I go out and buy

101
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 7: a head of lettuce, I expect like let us. I

102
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 7: don't know if this is right, but I like it

103
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 7: when it seems to be real firm, because to me,

104
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 7: that seems like it's fresher. When you go buy berries, oh,

105
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 7: you got to be really careful because if you go

106
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 7: buy berries and vice just by looking at them, and

107
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 7: you know, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, all of those things,

108
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 7: you have to take a look at Avocados. Now, I'm

109
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 7: big on avocados because it's a it's a healthy form

110
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 7: of fat. And I've learned that I had to google

111
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 7: this how much I googled signetti and then I googled avocados.

112
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 7: And when you press an avocado with your thumb, if

113
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 7: it rebounds right away, it's still good. If your indention

114
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 7: stays in there at starting to get bad and you

115
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 7: don't want to eat it. The reason I ask is,

116
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 7: you know, my wife does all the grocery shopping. Though

117
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 7: I volunteered to, I used it when she was pregnant

118
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 7: when she with the two boys, I'd always go. I

119
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 7: like grocery shopping.

120
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 2: I enjoy it.

121
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 7: I like water, especially like when they're giving away the

122
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 7: free samples. Of course, when I come by for the

123
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 7: third or fourth time and the free samples are kind

124
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 7: of on to me at that point, they're like, this

125
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 7: isn't a place to eat lunch. You're supposed to sample

126
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 7: it and then decide if you want to buy it. See,

127
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 7: that's the thing you miss is the free sample days

128
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 7: on Saturdays. They usually do it on the weekend when

129
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 7: they're busy, they'll have the they'll have a little samples

130
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 7: like get like cheese and sausage with crackers, or maybe

131
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 7: pizza or something like that.

132
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 2: Always have a Costco. Yeah, it's always a wonderful thing.

133
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,239
Speaker 2: Do you order from the same grocery store?

134
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 8: So all of our orders, I basically am the Ald

135
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 8: and Cub Foods order, okay, and my wife does the

136
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 8: Costco and Target ordering.

137
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: Do you do anything like LUNs buyer leaves?

138
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 7: And now you do, not even talking about the high

139
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 7: end LUNs buyer least, I'm even talking about the employee

140
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 7: LUNs buyer lease. That's an inside joke here at the

141
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 7: radio station. So I just have to get it fitted in.

142
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 7: How about like we have Jerry's Foods, we have Kowalski's.

143
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 7: We have a number of grocery stores.

144
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, we shop right by our house. Yeah we shop

145
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 2: them all. Yeah, my wife shops and dependents.

146
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 7: She thinks that's some And I don't know which store

147
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 7: she likes better for each individual item, but she says

148
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 7: she thinks some stores have One of the stores has

149
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 7: the best bait goods, another store has the best produce,

150
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 7: another has the best meat section.

151
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: Right, so she kind of bounces around from each one.

152
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 2: The one thing about Cobby, we do shop cub as well.

153
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 2: And the thing about cub is, do you know what

154
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 2: a cub card is? Sure? Do you have a cup card? No?

155
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 7: Cub Card's a wonderful thing. It does all sorts of things,

156
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 7: including it gives you discounts at the gas pump. Okay,

157
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 7: I've never used the cup card before. My wife always

158
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 7: has the cup card.

159
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 2: Well, she now has an EV so she doesn't need

160
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 2: the cup card, so she says to me, she goes.

161
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 7: She said this to me on a number of occasions.

162
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 7: Now she says, the next time you need gas, let

163
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 7: me know, and I'll give you my cup card. You get,

164
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 7: like I say, fifteen or twenty cents off per gallon

165
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 7: of gas.

166
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 2: That adds up over time.

167
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 7: Right, sure, what if you know, let's say you're fifteen

168
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 7: gallons that you're filling up. I'm gonna do the Shack thing. Now,

169
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 7: eighty dollars. Fill up your tank. When it gets down

170
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 7: to half, fill it up again, you're paying half as

171
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 7: much for gas. Still one of my favorite moments in

172
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 7: the history of Chuck Kenneda, Jet Shack and Ernie Ernie.

173
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 7: And then the best part is when Shack starts scolding

174
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 7: Ernie Ernie or Kenny Kenny.

175
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 2: You're not listening. You're not listening to me.

176
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 7: You fill it up for eighty dollars, gets back down

177
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 7: to half, you put in twenty dollars. You save money

178
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 7: on gas because you're not paying eighty again.

179
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 2: And whether he was do you think Shaq was doing

180
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 2: it as a bit, this was planned or do you

181
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 2: think he really believed that the bar went on? I

182
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 2: thought it wasn't a bit. Yeah, I think he actually

183
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 2: thinks it was. It's still my favorite. I just I

184
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 2: still get it.

185
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 7: We watch it every once in a while because you

186
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 7: can find it on YouTube. But now, so I go, okay,

187
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 7: that sounds cool. So my wife leaves off the cup card.

188
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 7: Got I got no gas left in the car. I go,

189
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 7: you gotta go to a holiday station to do it, right.

190
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 7: I get to the holiday and this is you know

191
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 7: how you google signette if you want to know, he wins.

192
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 7: I googled how to use a cup card because I

193
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 7: didn't want because I don't know, because do you swipe

194
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 7: the card? You insert the card? Do you do that

195
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 7: before the credit card or after the credit card? These

196
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 7: are questions I don't know, and I don't want to

197
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 7: be fumbling at the at at at at the at

198
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 7: the pump. So I pull up to the pump, and

199
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 7: I'm nervous because it didn't really explain it very well

200
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 7: on on on Google and so.

201
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 2: Lo and behold.

202
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 7: I get to the point where I put I put

203
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 7: the nozzle into the gas tank and then I try

204
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 7: to pump gas. Within a half a second, the guy

205
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 7: with the loudspeaker goes, sir, this is pre pay only,

206
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 7: or pay in prepay only, or pay at the pump. Well,

207
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 7: I know that I'm struggling here. Not to revert to

208
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 7: all fours I'm trying, but I don't want to say

209
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 7: to him because first of all, it's a full gas station.

210
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 2: He goes, Sir, it's pay at the pump or pay

211
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 2: inside here. Everybody looks at me, and everybody's going, what

212
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 2: kind of an idiot or of this?

213
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 8: For?

214
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm the idiot. Everybody's going, is this guy never

215
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 7: pumped gas before?

216
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 2: Does he not know? Because there's not a gas station

217
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 2: in the country where you can just pump gas and

218
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 2: then walk in and pay for it later. And I

219
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 2: get it. It's called gas and dash, right, people will

220
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 2: just drive off without pay, right. So now he's embarrassed

221
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 2: me in front of all these bady.

222
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 7: We just did it so sternly, sir, and I wanted

223
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 7: to say, I know, I'm struggling with the cub card

224
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 7: and the pay for I never figured out the cub card.

225
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 7: I couldn't figure it out, so I did the credit

226
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 7: card first, and then I said, I tried to swipe

227
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 7: the cub card and said remove quickly. Well, I've already

228
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 7: left it in there for a couple of seconds, so

229
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 7: now you know when and when they say remove.

230
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 2: Have you ever had that removed quickly?

231
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 4: Well?

232
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 7: How quickly is quickly, because sometimes I'll pull it all

233
00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 7: right away and they'll say it didn't register. Go again, Well, Kennedy,

234
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 7: the world has left me behind. I can't even conduct

235
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 7: a simple gas purchase with a credit card.

236
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 2: And a cup card. I'm the only one in the

237
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 2: world that can't do it. So I have to text

238
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 2: my wife.

239
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 7: She's so disappointed. She hasn't even responded yet. I said,

240
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 7: I tried the cup card. It didn't work, so I

241
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 7: didn't save, and I even pressed the receipt to see

242
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 7: if it would indicate if it did work.

243
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 2: It didn't work, so I don't know if the person

244
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 2: behind you got free gas out of it. Well, maybe

245
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 2: the person behind me got free gas. Maybe I got

246
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 2: that my credit card number two. But I mean, isn't

247
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 2: that literally one of the I'm thinking, it's one of

248
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 2: the simplest things to do, and I could not do it.

249
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 8: The gas pump king get a little complicated. Sometimes I've

250
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 8: got a gas station by me that has some sort

251
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 8: of rewards thing, and then every time there's like three

252
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 8: different options, and the option I have to hit is cancel.

253
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 8: But I'm always or going to like cancel the entire transaction.

254
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 8: Let me get my gas I don't want to. Have

255
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 8: you ever done the while? Have you ever done you

256
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 8: want a car wash? And I say yes, Then I

257
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 8: forget that I bought a car wash. I get my

258
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 8: car and drive off and I you know, I'm twenty

259
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 8: minutes away, and I go and I left my receipt

260
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 8: there with my car wash coach. If somebody got a

261
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 8: free car wash, you know it's another trick on the

262
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 8: car wash. Don't go to the car washes where you

263
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 8: just pull in.

264
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: And then you stop and then it takes five minutes.

265
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 7: I've seen people at a gas station in Woodbury that

266
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 7: has one of those. They're lined up ten deep. Each

267
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 7: car wash is five minutes. You're going to be there

268
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 7: for two hours. Go to one of those conveyor belt ones.

269
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 7: I'm a conveyor belt guy, so sometimes I have trouble

270
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 7: getting the wheel even though I'm a skip barbar rations

271
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 7: school gram and I always tip the person that's spraying

272
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 7: down the car, and they always seem to do a

273
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 7: better job spray in the car.

274
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 2: Would you give them a couple of bucks when you

275
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,560

333
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 7: We've been talking a lot about as soon as we'd

334
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 7: big game World champion Minnesota Vikings during peak at the

335
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 7: Purple and why wouldn't we That's what we're supposed.

336
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 2: To do, But I, you know, and so we were

337
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 2: talking about Seffert's piece in the.

338
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 7: In ESPN about the quarterback situation, how it got to

339
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 7: where it was. I was also looking at Alec Lewis's

340
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 7: piece regarding just you know, where the Vikings are, where

341
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 7: they've been, where they're going, where they're at, and what

342
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 7: they are going to have to do going forward, and

343
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 7: it's they've got plenty of work ahead of them. I think,

344
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 7: as we all know, I mean, some of these are

345
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 7: these are very sobering. Uh, these paragraphs he has are

346
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 7: very very sober. I read a couple of them to

347
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 7: you about because he goes over the quarterback situation as well,

348
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 7: and and and and how it got to where it

349
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:56,959
Speaker 7: is today.

350
00:17:58,640 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 2: But he says here.

351
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 7: Sticking with McCarthy as the surefire starter heading into twenty

352
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 7: twenty six would be a powerful statement in the youngster's favor.

353
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 7: But O'Connell will be entering his fifth season and has

354
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 7: yet to earn a playoff win, and that always has

355
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 7: to be figured into the formula, right, if you trust

356
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 7: the young kid to build them up again, is ownership

357
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 7: behind you? Because owner the Wills, for certainly, I don't

358
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 7: know about other ownerships, but the Wills certainly they want

359
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 7: to win, and they want to win now I think

360
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 7: most do.

361
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 2: They want to win championships.

362
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 7: So I said, well, we've had you here, this will

363
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 7: be your fifth year, and we haven't We don't have

364
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 7: a playoff win yet. So then that's a situation that

365
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 7: certainly needs to be discussed internally. Do you go with

366
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 7: the rookie quarterback again? Do you bring in a vector?

367
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 7: And we talked to yesterday veteran quarterbacks that are competent

368
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 7: that can help lead you to regular season wins. In

369
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 7: the playoffs, they're hard to come by, right, especially of

370
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 7: the backup variety. But then they have to decide what

371
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 7: to do with TJ. Hawkinson, to do with Kelly, what

372
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 7: to do with hard Graave, depth needed that tackle, cornerback

373
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 7: and safety.

374
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 2: They must also review the draft process. It just goes

375
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 2: on and on talking about all of the things that

376
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 2: they need to do that are It's it's not as

377
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 2: simple as as it might be.

378
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 7: You look at some other teams and you know they

379
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 7: they seem to be you know, the Packers, as long

380
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 7: as they get Michael Parson's back, they seem to be

381
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 7: in a pretty good spot. On they had Craft had

382
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 7: an injury too, so they've got guys have to come

383
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 7: back from injury.

384
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 2: All teams. First of all, teams have to get.

385
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 7: Healthy again, right, you know even what Lions, for instance,

386
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 7: they have offensive linemen that are hurt defensive backs. But

387
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 7: you you look at the Vikings and it seems like

388
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 7: there's a there are a number of slots to fill,

389
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 7: and even ones that they already have filled. Some of

390
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 7: these guys are making too much money.

391
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 2: We saw there. They're they're struggling with a salary cap again,

392
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 2: and it's I think they're they're they're they're burning the

393
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 2: midnight oil.

394
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 7: They should be burning the midnight oil over there at

395
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 7: the new Winter Park at TCO Performance Center. Trying to

396
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 7: figure out how they move forward with the current roster,

397
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 7: what they do. How many guys will they have to,

398
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 7: you know, either rework contracts or simply let go.

399
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 2: How many people will they have to uh, you know

400
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 2: they have to do the draft.

401
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 7: It's it's it's me a lot of changes. Yeah, it

402
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 7: seems like there's going to be a lot of changes.

403
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 7: And that is why part of what I was saying,

404
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 7: you know, look, there's nothing wrong with winning.

405
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 2: I get that.

406
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 7: And you know, the coach made it a a He

407
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 7: made it a the number one priority or one of

408
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 7: their new one prayers. We want to win as many

409
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 7: games as we county. And they went on a nice

410
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 7: five game winning streak. They beat a bunch of lousy teams.

411
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 7: Part of the idea was building blocks for next year.

412
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 7: And again, you know, a couple of spots in the

413
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 7: draft isn't that big of a deal, though, I you know,

414
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 7: when they were four and eight. Did they finished six

415
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 7: and eleven. I think they're probably drafted in around ten, eleven,

416
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 7: twelve maybe, And that's a big difference from drafting eighteenth

417
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 7: because you get that same draft spot in every single

418
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 7: in every single round. But again, you know, that's the

419
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 7: coach thought, building blocks, getting people, you know, something to

420
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 7: build on for next year, and might come back to

421
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 7: that as I just don't know once next year rolls around.

422
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 2: Last year is pretty much forgotten by people.

423
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 7: I don't think guys are going to be on the

424
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 7: practice field hitting a blocking sledge or tackling dummies or

425
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 7: going into football games thinking, boy, you know, it's sure

426
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 7: nice to win those games last year, really with something

427
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 7: we can lean on.

428
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 2: I don't really believe that all these guys have won games.

429
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 2: They've lost games.

430
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 7: They've had different sorts of streaks through their career from

431
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 7: playing Pop Warner, Howard Pulley, junior, high, middle school, high school.

432
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 2: Pro football.

433
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 7: I mean, looking for instance, with JJ McCarthy, you only

434
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 7: lost what one game? Was it one game or three

435
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 7: games that he lost in his entire high yeah, in

436
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 7: college career, Well, how much of those building blocks helping

437
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 7: when he got to the pros?

438
00:21:59,119 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 2: Very little right.

439
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 7: He's lost more games in one year than he lost

440
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 7: in eight years of high school and college football.

441
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 4: Harbor Long. It was so.

442
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 2: And then there's the Brian Floory situation. Is he coming

443
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 2: back or or is he not? Nevertheless, there is a

444
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 2: football team that's been very well. There could be a

445
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 2: schism there. That's the other thing we don't know. There

446
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 2: has been one football team in the area that's been

447
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 2: very successful at University Wisconsin River Falls won a Natty.

448
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,680

Speaker 4: I can always tell when someone other than me, my

469
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 4: wife or my kids has been in my car because

470
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 4: it's off the station. So I just want you to

471
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 4: know I listened all the time.

472
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 2: Well, I appreciate that.

473
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 7: It's an honor to have you want a little akakadak

474
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 7: and dak dak act to you and yours. I guess

475
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 7: here your family doesn't quite get the common man bit,

476
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 7: and I understand that because you know what my wife

477
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 7: doesn't either. You've been with you know, I did a

478
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,719
Speaker 7: little research, you know, much like Signetti, I googled him.

479
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 2: I also googled you. You've been at uw River Falls

480
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 2: for fifteen seasons? Is that correct?

481
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 4: Corect boy? It took longer than anybody wanted it to.

482
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 4: Nobody was more frustrated than me, you know, to turn

483
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 4: this thing around. But yeah, it's been a long time.

484
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 4: Took a lot of dedication and commitment from a lot

485
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 4: of people to hang in there with me through this run.

486
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 4: We went through a lot of phases that rebuilt this

487
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 4: thing to make this happen last weekend.

488
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 7: It's the first conference title since nineteen ninety eight, first

489
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 7: outright since eighty five, program's first NCAA playoff appearance since

490
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 7: nineteen ninety six.

491
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 2: You were named the YAK Coach of the Year for

492
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 2: the second time in your career. And you win. You

493
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 2: beat it.

494
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 7: You beat a team that that had had where the

495
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 7: defending national champions and they I had a twenty plus

496
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 7: game winning streak.

497
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 2: I think, pretty good accomplishment for your club.

498
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 6: Yeah.

499
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 4: I think they'd lost two games in five years.

500
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 1: You know.

501
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,719
Speaker 4: I told the team the very first Monday after our

502
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 4: semi final w and I said, I put a slide

503
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 4: up of a big picture of their helmet, and I said,

504
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 4: almost everybody loses this game before it's ever played because

505
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 4: of the logo on the helmet. I said, here's the plan.

506
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 4: We're going to be unapologetically aggressive, which you heard on

507
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 4: the broadcast if you watch, they were talking about that,

508
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 4: and I said, we might lose one hundred to nothing,

509
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 4: but we are going to do what very few are

510
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 4: willing to do against this group. They're so good and

511
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 4: been so good for so long. Everybody gets conservative and

512
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 4: changes they're playing and just kind of plays the game

513
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 4: they want to do and shorten the game. I said,

514
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 4: we're going to attack again. We might get our brains

515
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 4: beat in, but we're going to do it attacking them.

516
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 4: And I think we can win the football game with

517
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,719
Speaker 4: this blueprint. It just was a way to make them

518
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 4: play a game that they are not used to and

519
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 4: don't want to play. And I think that you know,

520
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 4: if you watch the game, we didn't even convert on

521
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 4: all the fourth down stuff and some of the aggressive

522
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 4: moves that we did, we didn't even always convert. But

523
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 4: I think it did make them uncomfortable because it's a

524
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 4: game they weren't used to play in.

525
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 2: Well, you were down early, I read the account.

526
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 7: I did not see the game. I was out of

527
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 7: town on vacation, but I saw that you were down

528
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 7: midway and the second quarter fourteen to three. But then

529
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 7: you got a laid score to get it to fourteen

530
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 7: to ten and then third quarter I think was the

531
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 7: fourth quarter when your team really took over and you

532
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 7: scored what twenty one on answer is that what it

533
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 7: ended up being, Yeah, yeah, we did.

534
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 4: This offense gets a ton of publicity and for good reason.

535
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 4: We lead all the levels of college football and total offense.

536
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 4: This quarterback, Kata blah and Fridley, you know, he broke

537
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow's college football record for total offense. Just some

538
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 4: insane things. But this defense after getting up seven and

539
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 4: ten the first half shuts them out and the rest

540
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 4: of the football game. Oh, they've had one hundred and

541
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 4: one straight games with scoring twenty points. For more, our

542
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 4: defense won this championship for us with again with all

543
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 4: this publicity and the crazy video game number, he lead

544
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 4: the nation in just about everything offensively. This defense won

545
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 4: the title on Sunday. Absolutely incredible.

546
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 2: The Blahawk kid that's quarterback, and for it from Fridley,

547
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 2: is he a senior?

548
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 4: He is a senior, yet in fact I think he

549
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 4: was probably the favorite to be the player there in

550
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 4: the country last year. The year before that, twenty three

551
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 4: led nation until offense and then all Deally popped his

552
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 4: amstring in week three, tore it completely in week four.

553
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 4: We lost him for the year and was granted a

554
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 4: medical red shirt. We knew we had a special team

555
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 4: coming back, but when you get the best player in

556
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 4: the nation to be your quarterback again, we knew this

557
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 4: could be a special run. He's he's something.

558
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 2: The Vikings are looking for somebody to push McCarthy. Do

559
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 2: you think do you think cayleab might be interested in

560
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 2: going to an undrafted free agent over to the new

561
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 2: winner part.

562
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what, and I'm not kidding. I think

563
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 4: the kid can play it the next level. I really,

564
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 4: I'm probably blessed or we we are probably blessed that

565
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 4: he's a senior now and not early in his career

566
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 4: with this transfer portal. Nil thing is going bananas right

567
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 4: now because I just can't imagine we could hold on

568
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 4: doing me such a talent. I think you will play

569
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 4: at the next level. I really believe it.

570
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 2: He threw for four hundred nineteen total I finished with

571
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 2: four in a nineteen total yards and three total touchdowns

572
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,719
Speaker 2: in that championship game. And you know you brought up

573
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 2: but you had a lot of other you know, in

574
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 2: reading the recap of the game.

575
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 7: You had a lot a lot of kids come up big,

576
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 7: especially if you say on the defensive side of the

577
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 7: ball too, right, we.

578
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 4: Did Taylor Schusterers, a Cheska kid, absolutely insane game. Andre

579
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 4: Hall an amazing game. Cody Curtis is a is a Buffalo,

580
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 4: Minnesota kid. At the tackle. He made a big play

581
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 4: there with the with the short yard of derone. Just yeah, absolutely,

582
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 4: it's fun. It's you know, we're in such a unique

583
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 4: location where where these these were half Minnesota half half

584
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 4: when it was kind of in these packtor Viking days

585
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 4: or something special here. But it's quite a fun melting pot.

586
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 4: We got, you know, country bumpkins from the middle of Wisconsin,

587
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 4: these inner city when already kids and suburban kids, and

588
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 4: we got a few kids out of Arizona were such

589
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 4: a unique melting pot of kids. It makes it so special.

590
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 4: These kids are I said, I think, I said after

591
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 4: the game. They motivate me to be a better person

592
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 4: because of how good the kids they are. It's a

593
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 4: special group.

594
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 2: Our head coaches are our guest.

595
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 7: As head coach Matt Walker of the University of Wisconsin

596
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 7: River Falls, he won the Division three national championship when

597
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 7: you started out the season. You know, it's it's kind

598
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 7: of a cliche question, but could you envision this happening

599
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 7: or where you're like, well, we're going to be good,

600
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 7: but you know, to start thinking about national championships.

601
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 2: Is I think you know that's that's that's pretty heavy stuff.

602
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 4: I would tell you, yes, I think you know. We

603
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 4: we were rebuilding like crazy, frustrated still with no results.

604
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 4: We came out of COVID, made some bold decisions over

605
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 4: that year. You were kind of forced to have that

606
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 4: year off, and we made some bold ones. We moved

607
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 4: our offensive coordinator, he was the coordinator, which he found

608
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 4: us calling. I went all in with a young assistant

609
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 4: at the time, Joe Mathison, who's my offense coordinator now,

610
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 4: and we said we're going to become the fastest team

611
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 4: in the world that snaps the football, and we have

612
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 4: become it. No one at any level goes faster than us.

613
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 4: And we came out of a COVID and won nine

614
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 4: games and haven't left the top twenty five since and

615
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 4: have been really close to a couple of times to

616
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 4: getting in the playoffs. We just couldn't get in. And

617
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 4: then when you get in, we just kicked the door down,

618
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 4: and along the way, you beat you know, Whitewater and lacrosse.

619
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 4: We beat Saint John's in that quarterfinal game, and a

620
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 4: great one here, and you know, you just make this

621
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 4: march that is a legendary. And I so the answer that,

622
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 4: the short answer is yes, I really believe we could

623
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 4: do it. Caleb Blah came back and I can remember

624
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 4: sitting here right behind me my couch and him sitting

625
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 4: there saying, I don't care about any of these individual

626
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 4: awards that you're talking about. I just want to win

627
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 4: the national championship. He said that right to me, and

628
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 4: I knew we had something cooking. I really did.

629
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 8: Hey, Matt, I see that you're not only the head coach,

630
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 8: but you're also the quarterbacks coach. So given you your

631
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 8: quarterback put up historic numbers this year, I'm curious, what's

632
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 8: your history. Did you play quarterback at all going up?

633
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 8: And what is kind of your philosophy and how do

634
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 8: you teach the quarterback position?

635
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 2: I did.

636
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 4: I played play football and baseball both at the Paul

637
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 4: University and Indiana. I'm an Indiana guy. I would tell

638
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 4: you I was a really good high school quarterback and

639
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 4: a mediocre high school baseball player, and I ended up

640
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 4: being a very mediocre college quarterback and had a really

641
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 4: fun baseball career. But yeah, it's always been a passion

642
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 4: of mine to coach quarterbacks. It was fun this, you know.

643
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,479
Speaker 4: One of the things about the game being in Canda

644
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame. They grant each team some time at

645
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 4: the Hall of Fame. And my quarterbacks get so tired

646
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 4: of me talking about Dan Marino. I grew up a

647
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 4: Dan Marino nut. It's all I could ever talk about.

648
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 4: If I still today, if I'm in a Beer League,

649
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 4: which we have Beer League Softball, and now I run

650
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 4: the damn team, so I get to pick the numbers.

651
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 4: But if I wouldn't get to be number thirteen, it

652
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 4: would still drive me nuts. And so here's the Hall

653
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 4: of Fame and the kids are walking around. I'm getting

654
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,479
Speaker 4: picture after picture of these guys in front of all

655
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 4: the Dan Reno stuff making fun of me about the

656
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 4: Dan Reno thing. But I would tell you I coached

657
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 4: them a little differently with this offense. We're unique with

658
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 4: running the quarterback and how we do things to go

659
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 4: in as fast as we go. You know, we probably

660
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,719
Speaker 4: do coach them more uniquely than anybody else in the country.

661
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 2: Would you call yourself a quarterback whisperer?

662
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 4: Well, it's funny like when I wasn't winning any games,

663
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 4: everyone thought I was stupid. I haven't changed any and

664
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 4: now I'm super smart because we went a bunch. So yeah, sure,

665
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 4: I guess.

666
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 2: So.

667
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, you mentioned you played baseball at the Pod, but

668
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 8: you also coached there. Did you now you coached both

669
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 8: football and baseball? And at what point did you know

670
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 8: your direction was to coach football.

671
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 4: Well, the head baseball coach at the time that I

672
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 4: played was Ed Meyers there over thirty five years is

673
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 4: the head baseball assistant football coach. And I was going

674
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 4: to go to dental school and had again had a

675
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 4: pretty unique run in baseball where I I don't want

676
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 4: to call it dreams. They were delusions at the time

677
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 4: that I could play beyond college, and so I didn't

678
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 4: even finish my dental score requirements because I was going

679
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 4: to go be RODRII Clemons. And as soon as I

680
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 4: found out it wasn't going to work, I had nothing

681
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 4: going and Coach Meyer asked me to stay on as

682
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 4: an assistant baseball. That first year I was just baseball.

683
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 4: He retired and I fell in his position. I became

684
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 4: the head baseball coach at twenty three years old and

685
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 4: was an assistant football easy transition again. Coach Moros my

686
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 4: football coach, and you know, I quarterback for him and

687
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 4: quickly got into the football thing. So I was the

688
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 4: baseball guy there for ten years as the head baseball.

689
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 4: But if you go closest to me, knew I was

690
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 4: really into the football, passionate about both, and I could

691
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 4: see it being the direction I went with my life

692
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 4: one day and ended up here.

693
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 7: How about you know you want a national champion. You've

694
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 7: not took fifteen years to get there.

695
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 2: You know.

696
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 7: I'm not trying to shove you out of your job

697
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 7: or start any salacious rumors, but would you have any

698
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 7: interest in moving up in the ranks, or you found

699
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 7: a home there, you want to stay there, you want

700
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 7: to repeat?

701
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 2: Or do you have any long term plans? You've been

702
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 2: there a long time obviously, you know.

703
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 4: I think I said after the game, and it's kind

704
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 4: of going viral now, but there's no place in the

705
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 4: world like River Falls. I really believe that this is

706
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 4: a special place. It's got charm that you cannot put

707
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 4: in the words. And here's the truth. I'm obviously getting

708
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 4: that question a lot, and you know, I haven't talked

709
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 4: about it directly with my players. But the answer is no,

710
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 4: I don't have any interest in actively trying to get

711
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,280
Speaker 4: out of here. I haven't applied to a single place.

712
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 4: It's like, again, if the Pittsburgh Steelers want to come,

713
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 4: you know, pay me ten million dollars a year, probably

714
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 4: have to take a pretty good sniff at it. So

715
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 4: it's like, I'm not going to close any doors. And

716
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 4: you know, to save the phone is a ringing a

717
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 4: little bit. It's a lot like. But I love river Falls,

718
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 4: my family and I this is this is home. Became

719
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 4: home in a hurry. I have no interest in actively

720
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 4: trying to get out of here. I think we can

721
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 4: be better next year. I think we can win it again.

722
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 4: I really believe that. So we got something special here.

723
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 2: Got a nice golf course over there too. I played it.

724
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 2: There's this last Fall. Yeah, so you got.

725
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 4: Golf Carney or Falls golf co.

726
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 2: I played river Falls golf course. I played them all.

727
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 7: I've never played kill Karney, I've driven by, but I

728
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 7: played river I played river Falls last year with some

729
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 7: guys for the dance they had, they had put together

730
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 7: the Danny Boy Open for a young man who's losing

731
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 7: his eyesight, and I volunteer.

732
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 4: Say that again, they're all they're all great. Yeah, they're

733
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,479
Speaker 4: all great. The people that run them are all great.

734
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 4: We hold our our our falcons, football, golf outing and

735
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 4: kill Karney and so if that, if you need a

736
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 4: chance or a reason to play it, I'd love to

737
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:28,959
Speaker 4: have you at the golf out.

738
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 2: And you'd be awesome, would well, I'll take you up

739
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 2: on that.

740
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 7: I also want to ask you someone who has just

741
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 7: texted me a friend of mine that says I should

742
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 7: ask you about the town ball team.

743
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 2: You manage the River Falls fighting fish.

744
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 4: This is great. So I was still playing beyond my

745
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 4: college years in the semi I was running my own

746
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,399
Speaker 4: semi pro team out of my hometown in Indiana there

747
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 4: and actually wanted Indiana state title, the whole thing. And

748
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 4: I when I got the job up here, I said, Okay,

749
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 4: it's probably a good time though, you know, hang up

750
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 4: the cleats and I'm on the job for three days.

751
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 4: And the mayor of our town at the time, Don Richards,

752
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 4: who's actually featured on during the ESPN Games. He's one

753
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 4: of the guys featured in the one of the stories there.

754
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 4: But he comes in my office. I don't know a

755
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 4: single person up here, and he sits down. I never

756
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 4: met him, and he says, I'm Don Richards is the mayor,

757
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 4: and you're gonna play for the Fighting Fish. And I said,

758
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 4: what the hell are the Fighting Fish and he said,

759
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 4: it's our talent ball team. I had no clue the

760
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 4: tradition and pageantry and passion for town ball up here,

761
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 4: And long story short, he gives me the number of

762
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 4: the guy that runs a team, josh Itidam, and I

763
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 4: do get hold of him, and by god, I played

764
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 4: my butt off for you know, about ten years for

765
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 4: that group and won another state title. The crazy story, I'll.

766
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:39,919
Speaker 2: Make us fast.

767
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 4: I can. My first year, I never had a p

768
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 4: I'm getting ready for my first preseason here and I'm

769
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 4: playing that summer with Fish. So I've just been in

770
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 4: here for the winter time and we're playing in the

771
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 4: semi final game of the state tournament up by Lacrosse

772
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 4: two hours away, and I'm I'm I pitched an eleven

773
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 4: any game I'm in, I'm in the eleven thing and

774
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 4: I'm still in the game. Pitching and we get done

775
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 4: with the eleven I said, I got a my guys

Speaker 4: reports a preseason for my first year to here tomorrow

777

Speaker 4: morning at seven in the morning. And it's one in

778
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 4: the morning at the time I got back at three

779
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 4: in the morning from first preseason. Didn't even see the

780
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 4: game get finished. We win the game and then win

781
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 4: the next day for the state title. And I had

782
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 4: started a preseason, but I had to leave the game

783
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 4: after pitching eleven innings to go make it on time

784
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 4: for my first preseason here.

785
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 2: How long did the game end up going? How many innings?

786
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,919
Speaker 4: One more inning? I could have stayed, but I didn't

787
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 4: even see the.

788
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 7: End of the Yeah, I mean, that's his legendary as

789
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 7: Blackjack Morris Game seven, nineteen to ninety one World Series.

790
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 2: He only went ten. You went eleven. What was the

791
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 2: score when you left? Were you shutting the team out?

792
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 4: I know, but boy, it was a hell of a game.

793
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 4: I had it was five to five maybe, but yeah,

794
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 4: boy is a hell of a ball game. But I

795
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 4: just had to go. I had to leave.

796
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 2: I want to get back to football quick, you know.

797
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 8: Or obviously the championship game is getting all the headlines now,

798
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 8: but the Semis was a heck of a finish against

799
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 8: Johns Hopkins. You guys were it was forty one forty one,

800
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 8: you have like a third and six deep in your

801
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 8: own territory and just an unbelievable catch and run by

802
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 8: your wide receiver who you know, looked like that thing

803
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 8: could have been picked off and he just snagged it.

804
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 2: Uh.

805
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 8: I mean that looked like a Division one NFL play

806
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 8: to mean, where where does that one rank amongst your

807
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 8: all time most memorable plays coaching at River Falls?

808
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 4: I think it's got to be the top one. And

809
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 4: Black Roward made the catch. You the Whipberry kid. You know,

810
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 4: they played this man coverage almost all day. They walked

811
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 4: the safety over the top of him and he'd been hot,

812
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 4: and Caleb let go of it and I'm not sure

813
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 4: he saw that safety. And right when you released it,

814
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:35,919
Speaker 4: I said, oh God, that might be picked and Blake

815
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 4: jumps in front of the kid and go seventy yards

816
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 4: and we were so blessed. ESPN was doing that the

817
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 4: game at that time, with the production and the call

818
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 4: and the call of that play is one going to

819
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 4: go down as one of the coolest things ever. The

820
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 4: guy doing it said Blake or just made the greatest

821
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,720
Speaker 4: play in the history of River Falls footballs. He's crossing

822
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 4: the goal line and in ESPN's right, he did for sure.

823
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, it sounds like it was very similar to the

824
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 7: Minneapolis MIRRAA. That sounds like to me, I mean you

825
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 7: got to that, Yeah, I mean as a play you

826
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 7: had to have. That's that's that's incredible. So it seems

827
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 7: like you guys had you know, you work for it,

828
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 7: but you live a charmed life there too, because you

829
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:14,800
Speaker 7: have some good things go your way. That's generally what

830
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 7: has to happen if you're gonna win a national championship, right,

831
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 7: I mean, it's it's it's some things just have to

832
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 7: go your way.

833
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 2: You got to get there's always a little bit of

834
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:22,720
Speaker 2: luck involved.

835
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 4: I think there's no doubt. It's like, what are the

836
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 4: chances we're the the bracket and Division III football playoffs

837
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 4: is similar to the college basketball thing. There's forty teams.

838
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 4: They have four quadrants, so it's so similar, and we're

839
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 4: the two seat of our our little quadrant, and the

840
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 4: one seat gets bet in round one, and so we

841
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,399
Speaker 4: we host four home playoff games because that one seed

842
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 4: gets beat and then we're you know, get we get

843
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 4: to stay at home on our home field, which is

844
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 4: an incredible atmosphere, an amazing atmosphere with our town and

845
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 4: the school and everybody. We get to have every game

846
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 4: at home until we go to cann for the National Championship.

847
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 4: It just all worked out in our favor.

848
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that celebration must have been something with the kids.

849
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 7: I mean, it's something you're obviously not going to forget it,

850
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 7: but they certainly won't either.

851
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 4: I've never cried more as an their own man than

852
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 4: I did that. Dad Is I was crying a lot

853
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 4: from before. I don't do that, and I was crying

854
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 4: before the game. I had a lot of emotion. It's

855
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 4: like fifteen years of all because man, have I been

856
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 4: blessed with great kids, These guys that played for me

857
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,320
Speaker 4: in twenty eleven, all the way up through that COVID

858
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 4: ye where we weren't getting those results in the scoreboard.

859
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 4: I keep saying, boy, they were giving me everything they had.

860
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 4: They were laying foundation for this incredible culture and pushing

861
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 4: the needle, even at that time before any of us

862
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 4: knew they were pushing the needle. And it just felt

863
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 4: like that was fifteen years of emotion coming out of

864
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 4: frustration because those kids that weren't getting those results they

865
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,359
Speaker 4: really deserved to win because they worked just as hard

866
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 4: as these current guys. I said, the current guys have

867
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 4: gotten and deserved all the credit. That man, it just

868
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 4: felt like we were playing for all the Falcon Nation,

869
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 4: those prior teams and even before either seventies teams and

870

Speaker 4: eighty seams and the town of River Falls. That's all.

871
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,960

882
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 7: That's Matt Walker, head coach of the University of Wisconsin

883
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:36,720
Speaker 7: and River Falls.

884
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 2: They went an abdey at the end Alonso Amos Alonso

885
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 2: Stag Championship game, So good for them. Uh, pretty cool story.

886
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 2: It is really cool.

887
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 8: And you know, I saw the audio of him getting

888
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:50,360
Speaker 8: interviewed right after the game, and he was, as he

889
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 8: just mentioned, very emotional, just kept talking about how he

890
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 8: couldn't he couldn't speak, and I have to imagine we

891
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 8: didn't get to them. But you know, to go that

892
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 8: long of not having success, it's probably hard to not

893
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,359
Speaker 8: start doubting yourself at that point and to persevere through

894
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 8: that and to finally build that program fifteen years later,

895
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:07,760
Speaker 8: it's very impressible.

896
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 7: Well then, I don't know how it works in Division three.

897
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 7: If that's Division one, you ain't there fifteen years. If

898
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 7: you're not winning a championship Brown Deep, you just aren't,

899
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 7: you know. So I was there ever any time or

900
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 7: it was like do you think you're going to lose

901
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 7: your job? I just don't know Division three if it's that,

902
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 7: you know, if it's I know it's important to the

903
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 7: school and the community and such like that, but there's

904
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 7: not as many dollars involved in in in Division three

905
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 7: football there is Division one.

906
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,399
Speaker 2: So I don't know how that works, but yeah, it's

907
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 2: it's it's pretty cool. We have a new quarterback west

908
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 2: burn Town. We have a new quarterbacks. Well, and then

909
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 2: he's a quarterbacks coach. Maybe he the Viking should bring

910
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 2: him on over and he could maybe be Yeah, I

911
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 2: mean you know, it's like, what have you done for

912
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:45,399
Speaker 2: me lately?

913
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 3: Uh?

914
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 2: And maybe we bring in blah blah. I mean he's

915
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 2: overtaking Joe Burrow. Yeah, I think about it.

916
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 7: He broke Joe thinking if the kid never plays another

917
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 7: snap ever again, you know, and now that his record

918
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 7: might get broken someday too. But he go, if you

919
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:06,439
Speaker 7: look at the record book, I mean, google me, yeah,

920
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 7: you know, google me Google. Mean you'll see my numbers

921
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 7: are better than Joe Burrows.

922
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 2: It is. Uh, that's pretty cool. Uh, no rock talk today,

923
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 2: oak out, that's cool. He'll come back again another day.

924
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,879
Speaker 2: He's like frosting the Snowman. Another side of the break

925
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,359
Speaker 2: gonna be five, three, four, ten out what you got.

926
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 2: They are unbeatable at the Barn
