<v Speaker 5>You know, it drives Abbott nuts that we don't know

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:48.740
<v Speaker 5>who's on the show.

0:01:49.120 --> 0:02:07.730

0:02:07.780 --> 0:02:09.720
<v Speaker 7>he on a list of the things that drive me nuts?

0:02:10.980 --> 0:02:12.540
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if Tommy's going to be on this

0:02:12.580 --> 0:02:15.660
<v Speaker 3>show or not. I just texted him.

0:02:15.740 --> 0:02:17.540
<v Speaker 8>I feel like two weeks ago he said he was

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:20.060
<v Speaker 8>out the next couple of weeks. And then last week

0:02:20.100 --> 0:02:22.710
<v Speaker 8>he changed it the last second. He said his flight

0:02:22.750 --> 0:02:23.149
<v Speaker 8>was different.

0:02:23.169 --> 0:02:23.750
<v Speaker 3>He could join us.

0:02:23.810 --> 0:02:26.950
<v Speaker 8>So I think last week was the bonus appearance. But

0:02:26.990 --> 0:02:27.970
<v Speaker 8>I think he's off today.

0:02:28.110 --> 0:02:28.610
<v Speaker 5>Probably.

0:02:28.850 --> 0:02:30.990

<v Speaker 5>I need him to be here.

<v Speaker 10>Oh.

<v Speaker 5>Interesting. It's for all yins, as my grandma used to say.

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:15.179
<v Speaker 3>Was it butthole eyes?

0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:16.880
<v Speaker 5>You got it.

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:18.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I know who it was.

0:03:18.380 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 9>Who?

0:03:19.410 --> 0:03:20.410
<v Speaker 3>It's Brad Childress.

0:03:20.770 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 5>You got it.

0:03:21.510 --> 0:03:21.850
<v Speaker 4>Damn.

0:03:22.310 --> 0:03:29.010
<v Speaker 3>Wow. It's not. I like how flexible he is. That

0:03:29.030 --> 0:03:29.670
<v Speaker 3>would be awesome.

0:03:29.690 --> 0:03:30.370
<v Speaker 5>That would have been great.

0:03:30.590 --> 0:03:31.169
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Yeah.

0:03:32.450 --> 0:03:35.890
<v Speaker 5>I think that might turn my friendship with Ben in

0:03:35.930 --> 0:03:36.670
<v Speaker 5>a bad direction.

0:03:36.750 --> 0:03:37.130
<v Speaker 11>It might.

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.300
<v Speaker 3>That might have been bad. Might be a weird spot.

0:03:39.580 --> 0:03:40.619
<v Speaker 5>No, it is definitely not Mr.

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 9>Childress.

0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:43.760
<v Speaker 1>No.

0:03:44.220 --> 0:03:44.780
<v Speaker 3>Kurt Bills?

0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:47.400
<v Speaker 5>Was it Kurt Bills?

0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 3>No.

0:03:49.540 --> 0:03:51.650
<v Speaker 5>It is Hurricane Isaias.

0:03:52.770 --> 0:03:57.010
<v Speaker 3>Oh. Well, you might meet him this weekend.

0:03:57.030 --> 0:03:57.230
<v Speaker 10>Yeah.

0:03:57.690 --> 0:04:00.760
<v Speaker 5>How about that, huh? That could really get greasel.

0:04:00.940 --> 0:04:03.000
<v Speaker 3>It could get greasy. That could get greasel.

0:04:03.780 --> 0:04:04.100
<v Speaker 5>It could.

0:04:04.500 --> 0:04:04.900
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, man.

0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:08.040
<v Speaker 5>It's supposed to hit, I don't know, Friday night or Saturday.

0:04:08.060 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, hmm.

0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.130
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well. So what do you think?

0:04:16.070 --> 0:04:18.289
<v Speaker 5>Does anybody have any updates this morning? Like, has anybody

0:04:18.330 --> 0:04:19.090
<v Speaker 5>seen anything this morning?

0:04:19.790 --> 0:04:22.910
<v Speaker 3>Anybody? Is that cool? Well, isn't it headed towards? From

0:04:22.950 --> 0:04:25.089
<v Speaker 3>what I've been seeing, it'll be.

0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:29.000
<v Speaker 2>It's going a little East and it'll probably, it'll be gone,

0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:31.440
<v Speaker 2>but it's obviously, hopefully by the time you guys get there,

0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:35.320
<v Speaker 2>but it's definitely going to clip you.

0:04:36.260 --> 0:04:37.600
<v Speaker 3>Uh, but like I said, like I said, you'll be,

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:43.650
<v Speaker 3>you'll be gone. Great song. I thought we said no journey.

0:04:43.670 --> 0:04:44.530
<v Speaker 3>Psycho Tommy.

0:04:48.529 --> 0:04:52.529
<v Speaker 8>Well, so I just asked AI for advice on this.

0:04:52.610 --> 0:04:53.990
<v Speaker 5>It's so great that you're close to Alan.

0:04:54.370 --> 0:04:57.610
<v Speaker 8>And AI is saying that the safest place during a

0:04:57.650 --> 0:05:00.230
<v Speaker 8>hurricane is the first floor of a casino.

0:05:00.250 --> 0:05:01.090
<v Speaker 3>Oh, wow.

0:05:01.310 --> 0:05:04.970
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I guess, you know, the walls are strong. Are

0:05:04.990 --> 0:05:06.250
<v Speaker 9>there any in New Orleans?

0:05:06.710 --> 0:05:12.089
<v Speaker 3>Just the one downtown. Downtown! That's where I'd be. Wasn't

0:05:12.130 --> 0:05:14.930
<v Speaker 3>there one year that you couldn't go, Hawk? I think

0:05:14.970 --> 0:05:16.630
<v Speaker 3>it was the Saints.

0:05:16.790 --> 0:05:20.770
<v Speaker 9>It was when Camara scored like 18 touchdowns.

0:05:20.810 --> 0:05:21.589
<v Speaker 5>It was Chevelle.

0:05:22.089 --> 0:05:22.370
<v Speaker 3>And I.

0:05:24.010 --> 0:05:27.870
<v Speaker 9>Think Abbott went because it was your birthday. I think

0:05:27.890 --> 0:05:32.620
<v Speaker 9>it was a Christmas Day game. And they stayed literally

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 9>next to the casino. I remember that picture we got.

0:05:35.860 --> 0:05:36.600
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I was there for that.

0:05:36.980 --> 0:05:37.599
<v Speaker 3>Oh, you were?

0:05:37.620 --> 0:05:42.620
<v Speaker 5>I was, yeah. Literally, there was a walkway to it.

0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:44.420
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, oh, hi, devil.

0:05:44.580 --> 0:05:44.820
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:45.600
<v Speaker 3>Hello, sir.

0:05:46.410 --> 0:05:46.850
<v Speaker 5>How are you?

0:05:47.270 --> 0:05:47.609
<v Speaker 9>Satan.

0:05:48.150 --> 0:05:50.350
<v Speaker 8>In all seriousness, if you're a part of the Vikings

0:05:50.410 --> 0:05:53.229
<v Speaker 8>traveling party and you get, you know, 24 hours or

0:05:53.270 --> 0:05:55.860
<v Speaker 8>so in New Orleans, that's the appropriate and perfect amount

0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:57.160
<v Speaker 8>of time to be in New Orleans.

0:05:58.300 --> 0:06:00.739
<v Speaker 3>So it would suck if weather kind of wipes that.

0:06:00.660 --> 0:06:02.300
<v Speaker 9>Off the table for you guys and you don't get to,

0:06:02.339 --> 0:06:04.800
<v Speaker 9>you know, go to Bourbon Street or do the Riverwalk

0:06:04.820 --> 0:06:06.260
<v Speaker 9>or you're just stuck in a hotel.

0:06:06.500 --> 0:06:08.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to ruin the fun for you. Yeah.

0:06:08.940 --> 0:06:14.900
<v Speaker 5>Probably wouldn't be great for the wild to stay at

0:06:14.940 --> 0:06:19.480
<v Speaker 5>a bar. If Mark still played for them. Well, I

0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:23.160
<v Speaker 5>don't want to. I'm doing my best here.

0:06:23.380 --> 0:06:26.020
<v Speaker 3>Sure. I want what's best for you.

0:06:26.060 --> 0:06:27.960
<v Speaker 8>But not just the casino. I'm just saying in general,

0:06:28.020 --> 0:06:31.490
<v Speaker 8>that town is super fun for about a day.

0:06:31.500 --> 0:06:34.430
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's about, I mean, how long were we there?

0:06:34.510 --> 0:06:35.109
<v Speaker 5>Two days?

0:06:35.290 --> 0:06:35.870
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, a couple.

0:06:36.010 --> 0:06:37.270
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that was about enough.

0:06:39.330 --> 0:06:40.450
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. What did you guys go for?

0:06:40.980 --> 0:06:44.220
<v Speaker 9>For a 311 day in 2008.

0:06:44.220 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 5>Technically two 311 concerts, right? Didn't we go back-to-back days?

0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:48.560
<v Speaker 5>Was that right?

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.420
<v Speaker 3>I don't remember if that was a two-day or not. Maybe.

0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:52.870
<v Speaker 3>I can't remember. It might have been.

0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:54.789
<v Speaker 8>I don't know when they started doing the two-day bit.

0:06:56.350 --> 0:07:00.030
<v Speaker 8>But that was the first time in New Orleans post-Katrina, right?

0:07:00.290 --> 0:07:02.350
<v Speaker 8>So it was like two years after Katrina.

0:07:02.470 --> 0:07:02.690
<v Speaker 10>Yeah.

0:07:03.550 --> 0:07:03.790
<v Speaker 3>Man.

0:07:04.410 --> 0:07:05.590
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:07:05.750 --> 0:07:07.470
<v Speaker 9>And again, in a lot of weird ways, the city

0:07:07.510 --> 0:07:12.720
<v Speaker 9>had cleaned itself up. It was still very odd. Oh,

0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:13.940
<v Speaker 9>still very greasy.

0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:18.890
<v Speaker 5>And to walk into that stadium and to order a

0:07:18.990 --> 0:07:21.030
<v Speaker 5>hurricane down by the water.

0:07:21.170 --> 0:07:23.570
<v Speaker 3>Very popular drink in New Orleans is a hurricane. It's

0:07:23.610 --> 0:07:24.750
<v Speaker 3>just weird, man.

0:07:26.050 --> 0:07:29.150
<v Speaker 5>And it's weird, too, because, you know, like the, what

0:07:29.170 --> 0:07:33.130
<v Speaker 5>do you call them, the mausoleums, whatever, above ground, you know?

0:07:33.420 --> 0:07:33.710
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:37.180
<v Speaker 5>So it's easy to just go lay down on a

0:07:37.220 --> 0:07:42.400
<v Speaker 5>grave and say, leave me here. They are above ground.

0:07:43.060 --> 0:07:43.460
<v Speaker 3>It's weird.

0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:45.680
<v Speaker 5>Because, you know, water table.

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:46.380
<v Speaker 3>Sure.

0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:49.300
<v Speaker 5>That place is a weird place, right?

0:07:49.460 --> 0:07:49.740
<v Speaker 10>It is.

0:07:50.500 --> 0:07:52.160
<v Speaker 3>It does feel like you're in a different country in

0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:52.720
<v Speaker 3>a weird way.

0:07:52.740 --> 0:07:52.980
<v Speaker 9>It does.

0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:54.440
<v Speaker 3>New Orleans.

0:07:55.380 --> 0:07:56.120
<v Speaker 5>The beignets.

0:07:56.140 --> 0:07:58.370
<v Speaker 3>A plus. That sounds amazing.

0:07:58.430 --> 0:07:59.070
<v Speaker 5>I'll have that.

0:07:59.970 --> 0:08:00.230
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:08:00.910 --> 0:08:02.950
<v Speaker 5>The old buildings are so cool. Yeah.

0:08:03.410 --> 0:08:03.730
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

0:08:04.010 --> 0:08:04.670
<v Speaker 5>The witches.

0:08:04.690 --> 0:08:09.110
<v Speaker 3>Oh, yeah. You love witches.

0:08:09.170 --> 0:08:11.390
<v Speaker 8>But it is weird how you can be walking down

0:08:11.450 --> 0:08:13.030
<v Speaker 8>Bourbon Street at night and you're like, this is so

0:08:13.070 --> 0:08:16.070
<v Speaker 8>much fun. It feels a little dangerous, but that's half

0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:19.060
<v Speaker 8>the fun. There's light and there's music. And you just

0:08:19.660 --> 0:08:24.619
<v Speaker 8>look down an alley and it is the abyss. I'm like,

0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:28.800
<v Speaker 8>there are no lights. You're like, I don't even know

0:08:28.900 --> 0:08:32.059
<v Speaker 8>if a street is one block down because it looks

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:33.800
<v Speaker 8>like this is the path down.

0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:38.040
<v Speaker 3>To eternal darkness. Yeah. Hell yeah. So it is. Oh yeah. Max,

0:08:38.059 --> 0:08:38.570
<v Speaker 3>you would love it.

0:08:38.580 --> 0:08:40.750
<v Speaker 8>Cause it is, it is truly just gambling.

0:08:40.790 --> 0:08:43.390
<v Speaker 9>You're like, I, I'm going to stay on bourbon street.

0:08:43.429 --> 0:08:45.609
<v Speaker 9>If I take a left or a right off bourbon street,

0:08:47.790 --> 0:08:50.260
<v Speaker 9>I may cease to exist. And I don't even mean

0:08:50.300 --> 0:08:50.820
<v Speaker 9>get murdered.

0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:55.540
<v Speaker 8>No, I mean, just disappear, disappear into an eternal void.

0:08:55.620 --> 0:08:58.309
<v Speaker 8>It's like, it just looks like it's over. It's scary

0:08:58.350 --> 0:08:58.730
<v Speaker 8>as hell.

0:08:58.770 --> 0:09:00.290
<v Speaker 5>Let me put it like this, Max. Have you not

0:09:00.309 --> 0:09:00.750
<v Speaker 5>been there, Max?

0:09:00.950 --> 0:09:01.170
<v Speaker 12>No.

0:09:01.270 --> 0:09:03.890
<v Speaker 3>I'm surprised. It's at the top of my US list

0:09:03.950 --> 0:09:04.370
<v Speaker 3>for sure.

0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:05.460
<v Speaker 5>Zaxo, have you been there?

0:09:05.530 --> 0:09:05.839
<v Speaker 9>No.

0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:07.400
<v Speaker 5>Sosko?

0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:08.040
<v Speaker 3>No, sir.

0:09:08.220 --> 0:09:08.620
<v Speaker 9>Crazy.

0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:10.300
<v Speaker 5>So it's just me and you, Corey.

0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:11.620
<v Speaker 3>I've been there like four times.

0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.819
<v Speaker 5>There's like a square at the end of Bourbon Street,

0:09:16.660 --> 0:09:21.290
<v Speaker 5>like a grassy area, like a park area. And I

0:09:21.330 --> 0:09:23.370
<v Speaker 5>happened to go by there on one of our Vikings

0:09:23.410 --> 0:09:29.200
<v Speaker 5>trips when it was dusk. And it felt Haunted, right?

0:09:29.380 --> 0:09:34.290
<v Speaker 5>I found out later why. And I saw a ghost,

0:09:35.110 --> 0:09:37.810
<v Speaker 5>and I was terrified. And the ghost looked at me

0:09:37.850 --> 0:09:44.790
<v Speaker 5>and said, I'm scared to death, too. I'm a ghost,

0:09:45.150 --> 0:09:46.190
<v Speaker 5>and I'm terrified.

0:09:46.230 --> 0:09:46.410
<v Speaker 3>Yep.

0:09:46.670 --> 0:09:47.570
<v Speaker 5>That's how freaky.

0:09:47.980 --> 0:09:48.100
<v Speaker 10>Oh.

0:09:48.429 --> 0:09:48.670
<v Speaker 13>Right?

0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:51.320
<v Speaker 3>Are you sure that wasn't core? Yeah.

0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:54.600
<v Speaker 5>Could have been. Now that you say it.

0:09:55.340 --> 0:10:01.040
<v Speaker 3>Similar complexions. Yeah. Yeah, same. Yeah. even the ghosts are

0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:02.059
<v Speaker 3>getting rough even the.

0:10:02.020 --> 0:10:06.160
<v Speaker 5>Ghosts are like no no oh there are worse places

0:10:06.220 --> 0:10:06.900
<v Speaker 5>than this.

0:10:08.110 --> 0:10:09.109
<v Speaker 3>My god.

0:10:10.670 --> 0:10:12.830
<v Speaker 9>And i almost got chris and myself killed in new

0:10:12.910 --> 0:10:13.610
<v Speaker 9>orleans he sure.

0:10:13.470 --> 0:10:14.780
<v Speaker 3>Did Wait, what happened?

0:10:15.010 --> 0:10:17.730
<v Speaker 5>Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is a classic Power Trip

0:10:17.770 --> 0:10:18.370
<v Speaker 5>story right here.

0:10:18.390 --> 0:10:19.230
<v Speaker 3>Yep, true story. So roll tape.

0:10:19.630 --> 0:10:20.490
<v Speaker 5>Somebody remember this.

0:10:20.750 --> 0:10:23.490
<v Speaker 3>The short version is this, is we were both. 2.

0:10:23.490 --> 0:10:26.610
<v Speaker 5>Oh, my God. Were we drunk?

0:10:26.630 --> 0:10:30.040
<v Speaker 8>And there was like a 24-hour McDonald's. And we walk in.

0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:32.580
<v Speaker 8>We were getting food or whatever. We're sitting there. And

0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:34.980
<v Speaker 8>the table next to us was three or four guys.

0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:40.350
<v Speaker 8>And one of them wouldn't shut up about how he... Well,

0:10:40.370 --> 0:10:42.209
<v Speaker 8>first of all, they were drug dealers. They literally asked

0:10:42.250 --> 0:10:43.530
<v Speaker 8>us if we wanted drugs, right?

0:10:43.670 --> 0:10:44.670
<v Speaker 5>They were nice to us at first.

0:10:44.710 --> 0:10:46.599
<v Speaker 3>They were. Then we're like, no, we're good.

0:10:46.700 --> 0:10:47.300
<v Speaker 5>They're businessmen.

0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:51.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they're businessmen. Yeah, they're making transactions. What were they offering?

0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:52.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't even remember.

0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:55.420
<v Speaker 9>Do you remember, Chris, the funny part? It was like, well,

0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:58.620
<v Speaker 9>we'll be here all week. How would we find you again?

0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:00.559
<v Speaker 9>Do you only work at this McDonald's?

0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.400
<v Speaker 5>I think that might have been their territory.

0:11:03.470 --> 0:11:05.450
<v Speaker 9>We didn't swap names or numbers. They were like, hey,

0:11:05.470 --> 0:11:07.130
<v Speaker 9>if you need us, we're going to be around all week.

0:11:07.170 --> 0:11:10.610
<v Speaker 3>We're like, okay. Sounds good. But this is the most

0:11:10.730 --> 0:11:11.890
<v Speaker 3>me thing of all time.

0:11:11.950 --> 0:11:12.650
<v Speaker 5>You couldn't help it.

0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:17.570
<v Speaker 9>He wouldn't stop telling his buddies loudly about how he

0:11:17.610 --> 0:11:19.950
<v Speaker 9>was on the cover of a cereal box at one point.

0:11:20.429 --> 0:11:24.740
<v Speaker 5>He wasn't telling us. All right.

0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:30.440
<v Speaker 3>Loudly to everyone. But I was like, what cereal box?

0:11:32.059 --> 0:11:35.319
<v Speaker 9>Because, of course, living, breathing skeptic, I'm like, there's no

0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:37.380
<v Speaker 9>way this guy's been on the cover of it. The

0:11:37.460 --> 0:11:39.130
<v Speaker 9>only way you get on the cover of Wheaties is

0:11:39.170 --> 0:11:41.410
<v Speaker 9>like winning the Super Bowl if you win gold at

0:11:41.429 --> 0:11:43.589
<v Speaker 9>the Olympics. And I'm like, this guy's a drug dealer

0:11:43.610 --> 0:11:44.189
<v Speaker 9>in New Orleans.

0:11:44.230 --> 0:11:47.730
<v Speaker 3>He hasn't been on the cover of Wheaties. And he's not,

0:11:48.070 --> 0:11:50.329
<v Speaker 3>you know, Toucan Sam.

0:11:50.410 --> 0:11:54.660
<v Speaker 9>Right. He didn't replace anybody on the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Box.

0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:57.930
<v Speaker 3>So I believe I said something like, what were you on,

0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:00.360
<v Speaker 3>like Wheaties? And he goes, yep.

0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:05.700
<v Speaker 9>And he death stared me like, how dare you question me?

0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:07.310
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, am I.

0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:09.430
<v Speaker 8>Going to get both of us killed because I didn't

0:12:09.470 --> 0:12:11.650
<v Speaker 8>believe he was on the cover of a cereal box? No,

0:12:11.690 --> 0:12:13.390
<v Speaker 8>of course I was right.

0:12:13.690 --> 0:12:16.710
<v Speaker 3>He was a liar. But did I need to say that? No,

0:12:16.790 --> 0:12:17.770
<v Speaker 3>I was point two.

0:12:17.790 --> 0:12:21.640
<v Speaker 5>Let me put it like this for you guys. Let

0:12:21.660 --> 0:12:24.420
<v Speaker 5>me put it like this for you. You've seen a

0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:27.699
<v Speaker 5>lot of war movies where there's a guy laying out

0:12:28.020 --> 0:12:29.960
<v Speaker 5>in the wide open and the sniper took him out.

0:12:31.340 --> 0:12:34.780
<v Speaker 5>And the guy looks around his buddies and says, one

0:12:34.820 --> 0:12:35.320
<v Speaker 5>of us has got.

0:12:35.220 --> 0:12:36.740
<v Speaker 3>To go get him.

0:12:36.900 --> 0:12:41.660
<v Speaker 5>And the guy's like, I'm going. I've been beat up

0:12:41.700 --> 0:12:44.540
<v Speaker 5>enough in my life that I just went like this.

0:12:44.570 --> 0:12:50.190
<v Speaker 14>It's Frisco time.

0:12:50.210 --> 0:12:54.510
<v Speaker 8>Oh, he did not appreciate me pointing it out.

0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:03.540
<v Speaker 3>Just hot dogs. Hot as fully sirless at the McDonald's.

0:13:03.700 --> 0:13:08.979
<v Speaker 3>He's not wrong. Just reluctantly like, okay. I guess I'm

0:13:09.020 --> 0:13:10.040
<v Speaker 3>not going to get my McDonald's.

0:13:10.059 --> 0:13:13.880
<v Speaker 5>Because I ain't leaving these fries. I'm starving.

0:13:13.900 --> 0:13:18.510
<v Speaker 13>That is too on brand for both of you.

0:13:19.670 --> 0:13:20.550
<v Speaker 5>I thought we might die.

0:13:20.650 --> 0:13:21.209
<v Speaker 3>I really did.

0:13:22.390 --> 0:13:25.490
<v Speaker 5>I was drunk, but I knew we were in trouble. Oh, boy.

0:13:26.090 --> 0:13:26.939
<v Speaker 5>I can still see it.

0:13:27.340 --> 0:13:29.980
<v Speaker 3>But how about his friends? His friends didn't question it.

0:13:30.220 --> 0:13:32.780
<v Speaker 9>If you're really good friends with somebody, you'd be like,

0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:34.220
<v Speaker 9>we've known you for 10 years.

0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:36.150
<v Speaker 3>You never told us you were on the cover of Wheaties.

0:13:36.170 --> 0:13:37.490
<v Speaker 3>I still can't believe it.

0:13:38.390 --> 0:13:40.870
<v Speaker 5>Somebody had to cut this guy down.

0:13:40.910 --> 0:13:41.630
<v Speaker 14>He was alive.

0:13:41.890 --> 0:13:44.240
<v Speaker 3>I don't know that I'm using the proper.

0:13:45.059 --> 0:13:48.520
<v Speaker 5>terms, but I believe there was probably a gat somewhere.

0:13:49.059 --> 0:13:49.359
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:51.179
<v Speaker 3>Oh, there's no doubt they had guns.

0:13:51.260 --> 0:13:53.140
<v Speaker 9>I would bet my life they had guns.

0:13:53.179 --> 0:13:53.580
<v Speaker 3>No doubt.

0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:54.360
<v Speaker 10>Yes.

0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:55.280
<v Speaker 5>There was a gat.

0:13:55.380 --> 0:13:55.559
<v Speaker 12>Yeah.

0:13:55.590 --> 0:13:58.890
<v Speaker 9>They're drug dealers at like two in the morning in McDonald's.

0:13:58.410 --> 0:14:01.089
<v Speaker 3>In New Orleans. I promise you one, if not all

0:14:01.110 --> 0:14:01.990
<v Speaker 3>of them had guns.

0:14:02.290 --> 0:14:02.709
<v Speaker 5>Correct.

0:14:03.030 --> 0:14:06.370
<v Speaker 9>Right. So the best strategy against a guy with a

0:14:06.410 --> 0:14:09.070
<v Speaker 9>gun is to tell him he's a liar. His, as

0:14:09.090 --> 0:14:15.260
<v Speaker 9>you said, friends had probably seen him pull out his gat. Yeah,

0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:17.080
<v Speaker 9>he was definitely strapped.

0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:19.720
<v Speaker 3>And probably over a lot less than what I was

0:14:19.780 --> 0:14:21.200
<v Speaker 3>accusing him for.

0:14:21.220 --> 0:14:22.860
<v Speaker 5>So that's probably why they didn't.

0:14:22.580 --> 0:14:24.560
<v Speaker 3>Go, blank, blank, man.

0:14:25.620 --> 0:14:27.820
<v Speaker 9>You know, there definitely could have been a moment in

0:14:27.860 --> 0:14:30.020
<v Speaker 9>the following 60 seconds after that where I was like,

0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.040
<v Speaker 9>all right, I am sorry.

0:14:32.060 --> 0:14:34.800
<v Speaker 3>I will buy all of your drugs. Please just don't

0:14:34.860 --> 0:14:35.300
<v Speaker 3>shoot me.

0:14:35.870 --> 0:14:38.090
<v Speaker 9>You were on any cereal box you want and we'll

0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:39.690
<v Speaker 9>take all of the cocaine you have.

0:14:39.830 --> 0:14:42.370
<v Speaker 8>We only have $ 70. How much is that by us?

0:14:42.690 --> 0:14:45.610
<v Speaker 5>I kid you not. I can still see. I can

0:14:45.650 --> 0:14:47.370
<v Speaker 5>close my eyes and still see what it looked like.

0:14:47.390 --> 0:14:49.710
<v Speaker 5>That's how much I thought we were going to die.

0:14:50.450 --> 0:14:51.650
<v Speaker 5>I can still see the tables.

0:14:51.670 --> 0:14:53.470
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, not my finest moment. It's okay.

0:14:53.530 --> 0:14:54.190
<v Speaker 5>I'm sitting here.

0:14:54.210 --> 0:14:54.790
<v Speaker 3>I was drunk as hell.

0:14:54.810 --> 0:14:57.830
<v Speaker 5>The counter's over here. They're sitting there.

0:14:58.510 --> 0:14:59.150
<v Speaker 3>You're right here.

0:14:59.710 --> 0:15:03.620
<v Speaker 5>And I remember this because the exits are over there. Yeah,

0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:06.980
<v Speaker 5>that's weird. I can't remember driving here, but I can

0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:08.420
<v Speaker 5>remember what that McDonald's looked like.

0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:10.940
<v Speaker 3>That's a great story. Not to belabor the point.

0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:11.580
<v Speaker 4>No.

0:15:11.860 --> 0:15:12.920
<v Speaker 1>But, but....

0:15:14.390 --> 0:15:16.880
<v Speaker 9>Let's let's say if I was like you're on the

0:15:16.900 --> 0:15:19.800
<v Speaker 9>cover of cereal box. What cereal box if he had

0:15:19.820 --> 0:15:23.700
<v Speaker 9>been like Rice krispies if he had said something funny,

0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:24.520
<v Speaker 9>it would have.

0:15:24.460 --> 0:15:26.990
<v Speaker 3>Been over right? I'd be like love it man. Love

0:15:27.050 --> 0:15:29.530
<v Speaker 3>it I could but the fact that he's like the

0:15:29.550 --> 0:15:30.310
<v Speaker 3>fact that he said Wheaties.

0:15:30.350 --> 0:15:35.070
<v Speaker 9>I'm like now I know you're lying No story falls

0:15:35.150 --> 0:15:38.080
<v Speaker 9>apart his story. Yeah, and I'm a super positive drunk,

0:15:38.100 --> 0:15:40.620
<v Speaker 9>but don't lie to me about cereal boxes Yeah.

0:15:41.050 --> 0:15:42.910
<v Speaker 3>Come on, drug dealer.

0:15:42.930 --> 0:15:46.190
<v Speaker 5>Your Honor, he wasn't lying to us.

0:15:46.730 --> 0:15:49.490
<v Speaker 8>He was lying to himself, and you can't lie to yourself.

0:15:49.810 --> 0:15:53.410
<v Speaker 8>Now look, here's the other difference. I was 28, about

0:15:53.430 --> 0:15:54.590
<v Speaker 8>to turn 28.

0:15:54.590 --> 0:16:00.510
<v Speaker 3>Single, no kids. I had nothing to lose. You had

0:16:00.550 --> 0:16:02.670
<v Speaker 3>young kids. I had tuxedo.

0:16:02.750 --> 0:16:03.550
<v Speaker 5>Alex, goodbye.

0:16:03.570 --> 0:16:08.740
<v Speaker 9>I was like, it's just me. I can tell him

0:16:08.750 --> 0:16:10.120
<v Speaker 9>what I want about cereal.

0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:15.080
<v Speaker 3>I just love it going well i.

0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:18.560
<v Speaker 8>Guess we're gonna fight we don't have any weapons they

0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:19.300
<v Speaker 8>all do but.

0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:23.020
<v Speaker 9>The one time you needed superstar and i kid you

0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:24.840
<v Speaker 9>not i weighed 100 pounds more than i do now

0:16:24.900 --> 0:16:27.050
<v Speaker 9>so i wasn't in the best shape to be fighting.

0:16:26.780 --> 0:16:29.150
<v Speaker 3>No but you would have fought well i would have.

0:16:29.190 --> 0:16:31.630
<v Speaker 5>Not very very long because i'm gonna mix in the

0:16:31.690 --> 0:16:33.010
<v Speaker 5>gap reference again.

0:16:32.870 --> 0:16:37.220
<v Speaker 8>Yep And for longtime Power Trip listeners, they'll remember this

0:16:37.340 --> 0:16:39.900
<v Speaker 8>is a sign of how technology has changed our lives.

0:16:39.940 --> 0:16:44.550
<v Speaker 8>But Chris was almost a day late getting to New Orleans,

0:16:44.610 --> 0:16:48.930
<v Speaker 8>had to fly to Texas and then drive like, what,

0:16:48.930 --> 0:16:52.020
<v Speaker 8>14 hours overnight or something. Ridiculous amount of time, whatever

0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:53.859
<v Speaker 8>it was. I flew into Dallas and drove to New Orleans.

0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:54.340
<v Speaker 3>Because?

0:16:55.230 --> 0:16:56.870
<v Speaker 5>I forgot about a time change.

0:16:56.890 --> 0:17:01.280
<v Speaker 9>Daylight savings. He had forgotten because phones.

0:17:01.420 --> 0:17:03.660
<v Speaker 8>It was just, it didn't. My guess is you didn't

0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:05.330
<v Speaker 8>have an iPhone. Cause they were only about a year

0:17:05.350 --> 0:17:06.429
<v Speaker 8>in and you hadn't bought one yet.

0:17:06.470 --> 0:17:07.570
<v Speaker 5>I think I had a Nokia.

0:17:07.630 --> 0:17:07.810
<v Speaker 3>Sure.

0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:11.640
<v Speaker 8>So literally missed his flight because of the time change

0:17:11.869 --> 0:17:14.010
<v Speaker 8>and then had to panic and find a flight to

0:17:14.050 --> 0:17:16.889
<v Speaker 8>Texas and then rent a car. It took him almost

0:17:16.890 --> 0:17:19.270
<v Speaker 8>24 hours additional to meet me there.

0:17:19.290 --> 0:17:19.790
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:17:20.290 --> 0:17:23.440
<v Speaker 8>All because of lack of technology. Something that wouldn't happen

0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:24.359
<v Speaker 8>in 2026, but in 2008 it did.

0:17:24.380 --> 0:17:24.450
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:27.500
<v Speaker 5>I'm here to get shot.

0:17:28.420 --> 0:17:30.620
<v Speaker 3>I was just about to say, Hawk, in that moment.

0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:31.500
<v Speaker 3>I did all that.

0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:35.110
<v Speaker 5>Never got to see the concert.

0:17:35.450 --> 0:17:38.390
<v Speaker 9>When did you get emphysema?

0:17:38.670 --> 0:17:40.310
<v Speaker 5>I got shot in the throat.

0:17:40.369 --> 0:17:42.990
<v Speaker 8>The greatest irony of all time is everybody's attending our

0:17:43.030 --> 0:17:47.500
<v Speaker 8>funerals right in spring of 2008. And whoever gives our

0:17:47.580 --> 0:17:50.320
<v Speaker 8>final speeches goes, and the sad thing is, is the

0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:54.380
<v Speaker 8>guy was right. He was on the 2006 National Penn State.

0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:56.220
<v Speaker 8>They were the national champs, and he was the starting

0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:59.699
<v Speaker 8>running back. And Corey didn't believe him. What if the

0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:03.139
<v Speaker 8>guy was? What if he truly was on the box

0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:04.120
<v Speaker 8>almost 20 years later?

0:18:04.140 --> 0:18:06.020
<v Speaker 3>I've just always thought he was a liar.

0:18:06.380 --> 0:18:08.879
<v Speaker 5>And that ghost that scared me earlier was like, I

0:18:08.940 --> 0:18:13.180
<v Speaker 5>told you. I tried to tell you, man.

0:18:13.420 --> 0:18:16.470
<v Speaker 3>Don't bring up the cereal box. One other thing.

0:18:16.930 --> 0:18:18.490
<v Speaker 5>I'm going to guess he did not shoot up that

0:18:18.530 --> 0:18:21.210
<v Speaker 5>McDonald's that night, but he probably did later. Oh, yeah.

0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:22.800
<v Speaker 3>He shot up that McDonald's.

0:18:22.859 --> 0:18:26.000
<v Speaker 6>This is the seventh guy that has said.

0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:28.330
<v Speaker 3>I wasn't on a Wheaties box. I've had enough. I'm

0:18:28.369 --> 0:18:29.690
<v Speaker 3>not even talking to you.

0:18:31.530 --> 0:18:32.170
<v Speaker 11>Oh, yeah.

0:18:32.210 --> 0:18:32.670
<v Speaker 2>Fun, man.

0:18:33.410 --> 0:18:35.670
<v Speaker 5>See what happens when we actually hang out together.

0:18:35.910 --> 0:18:40.190
<v Speaker 3>And that is such a fun town. It's such a disaster.

0:18:40.230 --> 0:18:42.760
<v Speaker 8>Again, if you're a female, especially a single one, never

0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:45.500
<v Speaker 8>go to new Orleans ever. But if you're an adult

0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:47.800
<v Speaker 8>male and you can keep your mouth shut, it's a blast.

0:18:48.460 --> 0:18:50.500
<v Speaker 8>It's so much fun. Wouldn't want to live there, but

0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:51.139
<v Speaker 8>love visiting.

0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:53.100
<v Speaker 5>Remember when the police officers, when you and I got

0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:54.879
<v Speaker 5>drunk together for the police officers on care 11, you

0:18:54.900 --> 0:18:55.300
<v Speaker 5>remember that?

0:18:55.460 --> 0:18:55.680
<v Speaker 3>Sure.

0:18:55.700 --> 0:18:59.270
<v Speaker 5>Remember when the police officer said that like, um, There's

0:18:59.310 --> 0:19:02.770
<v Speaker 5>a certain moment you get to where like they've seen

0:19:02.810 --> 0:19:05.600
<v Speaker 5>a crossover like You're so drunk and you're like, man,

0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:07.639
<v Speaker 5>I'm really drunk. I shouldn't be driving. But then you

0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:08.600
<v Speaker 5>get to a spot where you're like.

0:19:08.619 --> 0:19:10.820
<v Speaker 3>I can drive.

0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:12.379
<v Speaker 5>That's how drunk you were.

0:19:13.540 --> 0:19:17.050
<v Speaker 8>It's liquid courage, right? It's the truth serum and it's

0:19:17.090 --> 0:19:17.830
<v Speaker 8>liquid courage.

0:19:18.530 --> 0:19:20.250
<v Speaker 9>I was in that point, that sweet spot where I

0:19:20.369 --> 0:19:22.170
<v Speaker 9>was like, well, I know he's not telling the truth.

0:19:22.230 --> 0:19:24.050
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to tell him. And what do I have

0:19:24.090 --> 0:19:25.859
<v Speaker 3>to lose? You get that fake courage.

0:19:26.150 --> 0:19:28.480
<v Speaker 9>Now I would never say that to him at 46

0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:28.780
<v Speaker 9>years old.

0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:30.860
<v Speaker 3>What do I care? The guy can lie only once.

0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:34.320
<v Speaker 3>I don't care. You got Hawks life to lose.

0:19:34.340 --> 0:19:37.320
<v Speaker 5>Seriously, how many times since that moment do you— well, okay,

0:19:37.340 --> 0:19:38.480
<v Speaker 5>how about this? Let me say it like this. How

0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:40.550
<v Speaker 5>many times in the last five years have you been

0:19:40.590 --> 0:19:41.050
<v Speaker 5>that drunk?

0:19:41.670 --> 0:19:45.290
<v Speaker 3>Oh, one time at a Friendsgiving. That's when I was

0:19:45.310 --> 0:19:46.770
<v Speaker 3>blackout drunk. That's what I'm saying, right. Yeah, I don't

0:19:46.790 --> 0:19:47.610
<v Speaker 3>get drunk like that ever.

0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:48.139
<v Speaker 2>Isn't it?

0:19:48.380 --> 0:19:48.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:49.040
<v Speaker 10>Yeah.

0:19:49.060 --> 0:19:49.700
<v Speaker 5>Life was fun.

0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:50.080
<v Speaker 9>Yup.

0:19:51.740 --> 0:19:52.580
<v Speaker 5>It was, it was a good time.

0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:53.280
<v Speaker 3>That was a good time.

0:19:53.300 --> 0:19:53.840
<v Speaker 11>Yeah.

0:19:53.859 --> 0:19:56.140
<v Speaker 3>So awesome.

0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:57.300
<v Speaker 5>Beat that guy with a gutter.

0:19:58.720 --> 0:19:59.050
<v Speaker 7>Wow.

0:19:59.930 --> 0:20:01.750
<v Speaker 3>I'm not going to lie. I don't think you've ever

0:20:01.790 --> 0:20:03.570
<v Speaker 3>been on your roof. I don't believe you.

0:20:03.590 --> 0:20:05.170
<v Speaker 9>Well, I don't have to because I've got a helmet

0:20:05.190 --> 0:20:10.350
<v Speaker 9>from gutterhelmetmn.com. Never clean your gutters again. gutterhelmetmn.com.

0:20:10.369 --> 0:20:12.150
<v Speaker 5>He'd be on a box of Frankenberry.

0:20:12.250 --> 0:20:12.530
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

0:20:13.190 --> 0:20:17.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I am Frankenberry. That was the joke.

0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:20.040
<v Speaker 5>I was almost on Boo-Berry because I was almost turned

0:20:20.100 --> 0:20:23.960
<v Speaker 5>into a ghost.

0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:26.660
<v Speaker 3>You were almost not on the cover of Life Cereal.

0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:26.750
<v Speaker 4>Yes.

0:20:28.450 --> 0:20:29.850
<v Speaker 5>Life support cereal.

0:20:30.570 --> 0:20:31.850
<v Speaker 3>End of life cereal.

0:20:32.810 --> 0:20:34.790
<v Speaker 8>More of the Power Trip Morning Show after this on

0:20:34.810 --> 0:20:35.860
<v Speaker 8>The Fan.

0:20:35.950 --> 0:20:38.180
<v Speaker 3>Hi, it's Marnie Gellner. When I faced my.

0:20:38.300 --> 0:20:42.140
<v Speaker 9>Hey! Power Trip Morning Show.

0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:00.080
<v Speaker 8>Hey, when do you want to do this? The power

0:21:00.100 --> 0:21:02.859
<v Speaker 8>trip parlay? Because I am picking tonight's game. So I

0:21:02.900 --> 0:21:04.800
<v Speaker 8>have to give you my four today because one of

0:21:04.820 --> 0:21:05.320
<v Speaker 8>them is tonight.

0:21:05.340 --> 0:21:05.939
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, go ahead then.

0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:08.000
<v Speaker 5>I don't have mine yet.

0:21:08.300 --> 0:21:11.510
<v Speaker 8>I'm laying the eight and a half. Dallas is hosting

0:21:11.550 --> 0:21:14.230
<v Speaker 8>Tampa Bay tonight. And Tampa Bay's got that back undrafted

0:21:14.270 --> 0:21:17.810
<v Speaker 8>rookie quarterback. So I'm on Dallas minus eight and a

0:21:17.830 --> 0:21:18.370
<v Speaker 8>half at home.

0:21:18.390 --> 0:21:19.230
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

0:21:21.430 --> 0:21:24.010
<v Speaker 8>Going to take Atlanta minus three and a half, even

0:21:24.030 --> 0:21:25.250
<v Speaker 8>though they're taking on Baltimore.

0:21:25.410 --> 0:21:29.760
<v Speaker 9>Looks like Lamar's not playing. Going with another team facing

0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:33.330
<v Speaker 9>a backup quarterback. I'm going Vikings minus one and a half.

0:21:33.570 --> 0:21:35.370
<v Speaker 8>I'm a believer at least for one more week because

0:21:35.550 --> 0:21:37.709
<v Speaker 8>New Orleans' defense is awful and ours is awesome.

0:21:39.609 --> 0:21:41.850
<v Speaker 3>And the theme of the week for me, backup quarterbacks.

0:21:42.990 --> 0:21:43.510
<v Speaker 3>No offense.

0:21:43.910 --> 0:21:47.090
<v Speaker 9>I don't believe in Nathan. I think the Giants plus

0:21:47.170 --> 0:21:49.210
<v Speaker 9>three and a half. They're getting three and a half points.

0:21:50.270 --> 0:21:50.970
<v Speaker 3>At Washington.

0:21:50.990 --> 0:21:54.960
<v Speaker 8>So I'm taking Giants plus 3.5. So Dallas minus 8.5.

0:21:54.960 --> 0:22:00.040
<v Speaker 8>Atlanta minus 3.5. Vikings minus 1.5. Giants plus 3.5.

0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:00.379
<v Speaker 3>Book it.

0:22:00.960 --> 0:22:02.739
<v Speaker 5>Got it. Mark it down.

0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:05.859
<v Speaker 9>And I actually spent time on it this time as

0:22:05.900 --> 0:22:08.090
<v Speaker 9>opposed to the last first three weeks where I just

0:22:08.109 --> 0:22:11.590
<v Speaker 9>threw darts and didn't even come close. So I'll probably

0:22:11.630 --> 0:22:13.770
<v Speaker 9>do equally bad this week, but at least I'll feel

0:22:13.810 --> 0:22:16.229
<v Speaker 9>better about, hey, I actually took it seriously this week.

0:22:16.250 --> 0:22:17.810
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you tried. You know, I tried. I didn't mean

0:22:17.850 --> 0:22:18.470
<v Speaker 3>to sauce it.

0:22:18.690 --> 0:22:21.950
<v Speaker 8>So if I lose, I lost with effort.

0:22:21.710 --> 0:22:23.950
<v Speaker 3>And there's some, you know, there's some dignity in that.

0:22:24.010 --> 0:22:24.330
<v Speaker 5>For sure.

0:22:24.890 --> 0:22:25.270
<v Speaker 3>Okay, good.

0:22:25.609 --> 0:22:26.960
<v Speaker 5>I'll do mine to Mark. I don't have mine yet.

0:22:26.990 --> 0:22:27.210
<v Speaker 3>Sure.

0:22:27.350 --> 0:22:27.550
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:22:28.230 --> 0:22:28.410
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:22:29.590 --> 0:22:29.730
<v Speaker 10>No.

0:22:29.850 --> 0:22:33.129
<v Speaker 5>How about, I know we mentioned it slightly, but how

0:22:33.150 --> 0:22:34.350
<v Speaker 5>about OBJ?

0:22:34.710 --> 0:22:35.409
<v Speaker 3>Makes no sense.

0:22:35.570 --> 0:22:37.790
<v Speaker 5>Well, it does. And I'll tell you why I think

0:22:37.810 --> 0:22:39.270
<v Speaker 5>it does make sense. I'll play you some audio that

0:22:39.290 --> 0:22:42.750
<v Speaker 5>makes me think it makes sense. Let me start with

0:22:42.850 --> 0:22:45.130
<v Speaker 5>audio number one. Not the right way to say it. Sorry,

0:22:45.150 --> 0:22:46.810
<v Speaker 5>hold on. Today is the 8th, right?

0:22:47.250 --> 0:22:47.490
<v Speaker 10>Yep.

0:22:47.750 --> 0:22:48.450
<v Speaker 3>Yes, sir. All right.

0:22:48.470 --> 0:22:49.810
<v Speaker 5>Let me find it.

0:22:50.570 --> 0:22:51.550
<v Speaker 3>Okay. Number one.

0:22:52.520 --> 0:22:52.889
<v Speaker 5>Injuries.

0:22:53.840 --> 0:22:57.159
<v Speaker 10>Justin and Brian O'Neill will both practice on a limited

0:22:57.200 --> 0:22:59.480
<v Speaker 10>basis today. B.O., just with a little knee soreness.

0:22:59.540 --> 0:23:01.540
<v Speaker 3>And Justin's doing well with the ankle.

0:23:01.560 --> 0:23:03.720
<v Speaker 10>We'll see how he does the rest of the week.

0:23:04.700 --> 0:23:08.770
<v Speaker 10>Chuck Demings, Christian Dersaw. will be out as well as

0:23:08.830 --> 0:23:11.850
<v Speaker 10>Jordan Addison. Just has a little hamstring soreness. Kind of

0:23:11.869 --> 0:23:16.840
<v Speaker 10>got tugged on one of TJ's catches late in the game. But,

0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:19.639
<v Speaker 10>you know, going to give him another day and hopefully

0:23:19.660 --> 0:23:22.280
<v Speaker 10>get him back to some limited work and some work

0:23:22.300 --> 0:23:24.919
<v Speaker 10>throughout the rest of the week. But consider it minor

0:23:25.180 --> 0:23:26.420
<v Speaker 10>if it's anything at all.

0:23:27.180 --> 0:23:29.930
<v Speaker 5>Hopefully get him back to some light work the rest.

0:23:29.830 --> 0:23:30.090
<v Speaker 3>Of the week.

0:23:30.109 --> 0:23:30.810
<v Speaker 9>Okay.

0:23:31.250 --> 0:23:35.010
<v Speaker 5>So not only is JJ coming back, but Jordan is

0:23:35.070 --> 0:23:37.580
<v Speaker 5>dealing with an injury as well. But then, so there's one.

0:23:38.760 --> 0:23:40.240
<v Speaker 5>Somebody asked him about Juwan Jennings.

0:23:40.619 --> 0:23:42.960
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, I think Juwan's done a lot of really good

0:23:42.980 --> 0:23:45.869
<v Speaker 10>things in the run game for us. He's had a

0:23:45.910 --> 0:23:49.810
<v Speaker 10>couple chances where maybe either the rhythm and timing or

0:23:49.869 --> 0:23:53.330
<v Speaker 10>just a little more detail showing up out of the

0:23:53.369 --> 0:23:57.050
<v Speaker 10>group as a whole, Juwan included. But we're not far off,

0:23:57.410 --> 0:23:58.920
<v Speaker 10>and Juwan's going to be a guy that's going to

0:23:58.950 --> 0:23:59.800
<v Speaker 10>make some plays for us.

0:24:01.460 --> 0:24:01.720
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

0:24:02.460 --> 0:24:04.699
<v Speaker 5>So our stars are entered, and the one guy we

0:24:04.720 --> 0:24:07.120
<v Speaker 5>brought in we thought might be another sure thing isn't quite.

0:24:07.960 --> 0:24:10.720
<v Speaker 5>I mean, we all know KL pretty well. That's pretty

0:24:10.740 --> 0:24:15.620
<v Speaker 5>harsh criticism. Yeah, that's pretty harsh. Right? And then there's

0:24:16.200 --> 0:24:18.680
<v Speaker 5>these things that he said about bringing in OBJ.

0:24:18.900 --> 0:24:22.110
<v Speaker 10>You know, being a little banged up in that receiver

0:24:22.150 --> 0:24:25.109
<v Speaker 10>room and just knowing how we can be a player

0:24:25.150 --> 0:24:29.429
<v Speaker 10>two away. from needing to call upon guys to be

0:24:29.470 --> 0:24:32.350
<v Speaker 10>elevated and make plays. And the fact that we could

0:24:32.369 --> 0:24:35.230
<v Speaker 10>bring Odell in on our practice squad and start getting

0:24:35.250 --> 0:24:37.609
<v Speaker 10>him acclimated to our offense. And obviously I have a

0:24:37.930 --> 0:24:41.090
<v Speaker 10>great history with him going back to 2021, spending a

0:24:41.109 --> 0:24:43.290
<v Speaker 10>lot of time with him when he came in mid-season

0:24:43.330 --> 0:24:45.150
<v Speaker 10>and getting him ready to help us and just how

0:24:45.190 --> 0:24:49.540
<v Speaker 10>impactful he was down the stretch of that season. Really

0:24:49.580 --> 0:24:52.040
<v Speaker 10>great job by Nolan and his staff, getting a player

0:24:52.060 --> 0:24:54.720
<v Speaker 10>of Odell's caliber in here and just excited to get

0:24:54.780 --> 0:24:55.100
<v Speaker 10>him going.

0:24:56.280 --> 0:24:58.710
<v Speaker 8>Here's something I don't understand about football and probably never

0:24:58.760 --> 0:25:01.520
<v Speaker 8>will because I didn't play. This is something Ben could

0:25:01.580 --> 0:25:02.740
<v Speaker 8>answer in like 15 minutes.

0:25:03.480 --> 0:25:05.560
<v Speaker 9>So, you know, once in a while we've heard, we

0:25:05.580 --> 0:25:07.200
<v Speaker 9>can name names if we want, but you hear about

0:25:07.240 --> 0:25:10.520
<v Speaker 9>a player that gets drafted in the spring and six

0:25:10.580 --> 0:25:12.620
<v Speaker 9>months later, the season's about to start and we'll hear

0:25:13.420 --> 0:25:15.680
<v Speaker 9>so-and-so is still kind of struggling with the playbook, having

0:25:15.700 --> 0:25:17.520
<v Speaker 9>a hard time figuring out the playbook, right?

0:25:17.580 --> 0:25:20.859
<v Speaker 8>Not adapting to the scheme. Just got to keep studying

0:25:20.880 --> 0:25:22.959
<v Speaker 8>that playbook. He's not quite there. And we're like, man,

0:25:23.000 --> 0:25:26.130
<v Speaker 8>he's six months and he's still struggling. How do you

0:25:27.270 --> 0:25:30.470
<v Speaker 8>get signed on a Wednesday and figure out a, quote,

0:25:30.609 --> 0:25:32.810
<v Speaker 8>semi-complicated offense by Sunday?

0:25:33.070 --> 0:25:34.690
<v Speaker 3>Sure, they have a little bit of history, but.

0:25:37.100 --> 0:25:40.760
<v Speaker 9>He just picks up a playbook in 24 hours and

0:25:40.800 --> 0:25:43.139
<v Speaker 9>is ready to roll. I've just never understood how sometimes

0:25:43.180 --> 0:25:45.919
<v Speaker 9>it's six months for some guys and they struggle, and

0:25:45.960 --> 0:25:47.520
<v Speaker 9>it's six days for other guys.

0:25:47.580 --> 0:25:48.940
<v Speaker 3>How is that possible?

0:25:50.780 --> 0:25:51.510
<v Speaker 5>K.O. addressed that.

0:25:51.900 --> 0:25:54.600
<v Speaker 10>You know the good thing about our system is we've

0:25:54.640 --> 0:25:58.199
<v Speaker 10>got you know some mechanisms that either you know he

0:25:58.220 --> 0:26:01.080
<v Speaker 10>can quickly learn and know those are absolutes if we

0:26:01.119 --> 0:26:03.439
<v Speaker 10>need to go that route in the game if he

0:26:03.460 --> 0:26:05.960
<v Speaker 10>were to be elevated and at the same time I

0:26:06.010 --> 0:26:09.449
<v Speaker 10>think he's got enough experience in different systems including you

0:26:09.470 --> 0:26:11.989
<v Speaker 10>know our family of offense that you know there can

0:26:12.010 --> 0:26:14.680
<v Speaker 10>be some carryover and We've coached guys on the fly

0:26:14.720 --> 0:26:18.260
<v Speaker 10>before at the quarterback position and other positions. And if

0:26:18.300 --> 0:26:19.920
<v Speaker 10>we've got to do that, we'll be ready to do that.

0:26:20.300 --> 0:26:20.720
<v Speaker 3>Fair enough.

0:26:20.869 --> 0:26:22.460
<v Speaker 8>Here's the other thing about Odell that I'm a little

0:26:22.480 --> 0:26:24.470
<v Speaker 8>confused about is he just doesn't have anything left in

0:26:24.490 --> 0:26:27.070
<v Speaker 8>the tank. So I wonder why they think that they

0:26:27.090 --> 0:26:30.790
<v Speaker 8>can squeeze something out of him. The Giants fans went nuts.

0:26:30.869 --> 0:26:34.090
<v Speaker 8>They loved that he was back with the Giants. Remember,

0:26:34.109 --> 0:26:36.290
<v Speaker 8>there was an accusation a couple weeks ago that they

0:26:36.350 --> 0:26:38.449
<v Speaker 8>just brought him in for the PR because the fans

0:26:38.490 --> 0:26:39.650
<v Speaker 8>in New York love him so much.

0:26:39.670 --> 0:26:42.990
<v Speaker 9>And three games in, he had one target, zero catches,

0:26:43.010 --> 0:26:45.150
<v Speaker 9>and they let him go. So the team that should

0:26:45.190 --> 0:26:47.780
<v Speaker 9>have loved him was like, we got nothing left. We

0:26:47.800 --> 0:26:49.020
<v Speaker 9>can't get anything out of him.

0:26:49.119 --> 0:26:52.600
<v Speaker 8>So the Giants couldn't get a squeeze out of Odell

0:26:52.640 --> 0:26:53.260
<v Speaker 8>Beckham Jr.

0:26:53.320 --> 0:26:54.129
<v Speaker 3>So, I mean, I....

0:26:56.320 --> 0:26:58.280
<v Speaker 8>I don't think it's going to work. It's harmless, by

0:26:58.320 --> 0:27:00.699
<v Speaker 8>the way. I'm not saying that it was a bad signing. It's, it's,

0:27:00.920 --> 0:27:03.340
<v Speaker 8>it's a zero risk signing. It's not like they're giving

0:27:03.380 --> 0:27:03.760
<v Speaker 8>him money.

0:27:04.440 --> 0:27:05.440
<v Speaker 3>So I don't know.

0:27:05.520 --> 0:27:05.860
<v Speaker 5>It's weird.

0:27:05.880 --> 0:27:06.260
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:27:06.300 --> 0:27:08.200
<v Speaker 5>I can't wait for when Ben gets here as well,

0:27:08.220 --> 0:27:11.399
<v Speaker 5>because I wondered about all this as well. And I

0:27:11.460 --> 0:27:14.990
<v Speaker 5>wonder if also, and this is a dumb thing to say, but,

0:27:15.010 --> 0:27:15.469
<v Speaker 5>but I don't know.

0:27:15.530 --> 0:27:15.649
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:27:15.690 --> 0:27:17.330
<v Speaker 5>How do I, how the hell do I know? Like

0:27:18.250 --> 0:27:20.909
<v Speaker 5>if you're out there and you're a cornerback and you

0:27:20.950 --> 0:27:25.930
<v Speaker 5>got to cover Ty Felton, Is it different than being

0:27:25.970 --> 0:27:27.910
<v Speaker 5>out there covering Odell Beckham Jr., even if he's lost

0:27:27.950 --> 0:27:29.450
<v Speaker 5>a step? Do you know what I mean?

0:27:30.230 --> 0:27:31.630
<v Speaker 3>Maybe in terms of intimidation.

0:27:31.650 --> 0:27:33.990
<v Speaker 5>But I mean, does the defense coordinator have to respect

0:27:34.090 --> 0:27:36.540
<v Speaker 5>Odell Beckham Jr. more than he has to respect Ty Felton?

0:27:36.560 --> 0:27:37.160
<v Speaker 3>I don't think so.

0:27:37.180 --> 0:27:37.720
<v Speaker 14>You don't think so?

0:27:37.760 --> 0:27:38.460
<v Speaker 3>Not at this point.

0:27:39.160 --> 0:27:42.740
<v Speaker 9>I think Felton's got to be faster. And I didn't

0:27:42.760 --> 0:27:45.010
<v Speaker 9>mean to rip Ty. No, but I know what you mean.

0:27:45.030 --> 0:27:48.340
<v Speaker 8>Just a young, unproven receiver versus a guy who was on...

0:27:49.420 --> 0:27:52.040
<v Speaker 8>ridiculous hall of fame trajectory. If you look at his first,

0:27:52.060 --> 0:27:53.440
<v Speaker 8>like what was it? Three or four years.

0:27:53.900 --> 0:27:56.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. He was like unstoppable.

0:27:56.780 --> 0:28:00.050
<v Speaker 8>Ridiculous number of yards, double digit touchdowns every year.

0:28:00.070 --> 0:28:02.510
<v Speaker 3>It looks like he made the best cuts. Any of

0:28:02.570 --> 0:28:05.050
<v Speaker 3>us have ever. Exactly. Yeah. It was a hall of

0:28:05.070 --> 0:28:06.470
<v Speaker 3>fame trajectory kind of guy.

0:28:06.490 --> 0:28:10.060
<v Speaker 9>I don't, I mean, he's, it's been 10 years maybe

0:28:10.119 --> 0:28:12.880
<v Speaker 9>since he's had a significant impact in the NFL, maybe

0:28:12.900 --> 0:28:13.859
<v Speaker 9>a little less than that.

0:28:13.880 --> 0:28:15.320
<v Speaker 3>Maybe like six or seven years. Yeah. Yeah.

0:28:16.600 --> 0:28:19.109
<v Speaker 9>I think this is a little, to your point, Hogs,

0:28:19.190 --> 0:28:21.110
<v Speaker 9>and some of the guys that they have on this

0:28:21.150 --> 0:28:24.189
<v Speaker 9>team that haven't really taken a step forward and to

0:28:24.230 --> 0:28:26.890
<v Speaker 9>what Cora said about how it doesn't cost them much

0:28:26.950 --> 0:28:27.910
<v Speaker 9>and there's no.

0:28:27.869 --> 0:28:28.530
<v Speaker 3>Harm in this.

0:28:29.130 --> 0:28:30.800
<v Speaker 9>I think it's a little like in the movie The

0:28:30.840 --> 0:28:33.080
<v Speaker 9>Miracle where the kid who doesn't try out with the

0:28:33.119 --> 0:28:35.320
<v Speaker 9>team shows up halfway through and is on the team.

0:28:35.720 --> 0:28:37.320
<v Speaker 3>I think it's a little like that. I think it's

0:28:37.500 --> 0:28:38.240
<v Speaker 3>pushing forward.

0:28:39.120 --> 0:28:42.180
<v Speaker 9>Juwan Jennings and Ty Felton and all these other guys

0:28:42.540 --> 0:28:46.840
<v Speaker 9>who have done nothing to know that you're not guaranteed

0:28:46.920 --> 0:28:47.500
<v Speaker 9>a spot here.

0:28:47.700 --> 0:28:48.940
<v Speaker 3>I think it's a little of.

0:28:48.860 --> 0:28:52.070
<v Speaker 9>That because as Corey said, he didn't even, he got

0:28:52.250 --> 0:28:55.090
<v Speaker 9>cut from the giants and he was playing in like

0:28:55.130 --> 0:28:57.230
<v Speaker 9>the third preseason game.

0:28:57.530 --> 0:28:58.150
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:28:58.610 --> 0:29:02.150
<v Speaker 5>I wonder this too. Something you said to kind of

0:29:02.170 --> 0:29:05.470
<v Speaker 5>spark something. about the playbook and we, I'll, we all,

0:29:05.630 --> 0:29:07.170
<v Speaker 5>and we know who you're referring to. We know what

0:29:07.210 --> 0:29:09.670
<v Speaker 5>you're referring to, right? A couple of players, but one

0:29:09.690 --> 0:29:14.470
<v Speaker 5>in particular right now, um, there's good players, great players

0:29:14.550 --> 0:29:18.060
<v Speaker 5>and superstars. And everybody's so good in the NFL and

0:29:18.080 --> 0:29:19.920
<v Speaker 5>all pro sports. If you've made it that far, you're very,

0:29:19.940 --> 0:29:22.050
<v Speaker 5>very good. And then there's another level who's very, very good.

0:29:22.530 --> 0:29:25.050
<v Speaker 5>Perhaps the next level up are people who can come

0:29:25.130 --> 0:29:28.630
<v Speaker 5>in and just freaking play in the system because they're

0:29:28.690 --> 0:29:30.750
<v Speaker 5>so smart at football. And they just maybe they don't

0:29:30.810 --> 0:29:33.060
<v Speaker 5>know how to drive a car, but they know how

0:29:33.080 --> 0:29:35.300
<v Speaker 5>to play wide receiver so well they can pick up

0:29:35.340 --> 0:29:37.400
<v Speaker 5>an offense like that. And maybe OBJ is one of

0:29:37.440 --> 0:29:40.840
<v Speaker 5>those guys. And obviously, coach knows that. you know yeah

0:29:41.020 --> 0:29:44.260
<v Speaker 5>maybe he's gonna know our offense better on sunday than

0:29:44.440 --> 0:29:46.740
<v Speaker 5>any other wide receiver in the room not named jj

0:29:46.920 --> 0:29:47.640
<v Speaker 5>or addison.

0:29:47.360 --> 0:29:50.370
<v Speaker 9>I mean it's a little like a problem yeah you

0:29:50.390 --> 0:29:52.590
<v Speaker 9>get my point it's a little like kyle vannoy on

0:29:52.610 --> 0:29:55.950
<v Speaker 9>the defense he was brought in late he's picked up

0:29:55.990 --> 0:29:58.530
<v Speaker 9>that defense really well he's been in the system he

0:29:58.570 --> 0:29:59.530
<v Speaker 9>knows what he's doing.

0:30:00.270 --> 0:30:02.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, he's been a difference maker.

0:30:02.580 --> 0:30:02.670
<v Speaker 10>Yeah.

0:30:03.800 --> 0:30:04.120
<v Speaker 5>I don't know.

0:30:04.650 --> 0:30:08.739
<v Speaker 8>I mean, I have ridiculously low expectations for OBJ, so

0:30:08.780 --> 0:30:11.000
<v Speaker 8>if he adds anything, I think that's a free roll.

0:30:12.640 --> 0:30:15.260
<v Speaker 8>I mean, again, the Magic's been gone for years.

0:30:15.380 --> 0:30:20.040
<v Speaker 3>But how about this? Even before, he didn't play.

0:30:18.900 --> 0:30:22.920
<v Speaker 8>Since 2024 before this zero catch string this year with

0:30:22.940 --> 0:30:28.970
<v Speaker 8>the Giants. So, and even then, In 2024 with the Dolphins,

0:30:29.330 --> 0:30:32.290
<v Speaker 8>nine games, nine catches, 55 yards, no touchdowns.

0:30:33.450 --> 0:30:35.310
<v Speaker 5>I couldn't have been more shocked. I had to walk down.

0:30:35.330 --> 0:30:37.630
<v Speaker 5>You guys were all gone. I walked down. I'm like, Nick,

0:30:38.760 --> 0:30:40.940
<v Speaker 5>I'm sorry to bother you, but OBJ?

0:30:41.020 --> 0:30:44.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I found out Nick's office, too. I saw on

0:30:44.420 --> 0:30:46.320
<v Speaker 3>his screen that KFN tweeted.

0:30:46.340 --> 0:30:47.140
<v Speaker 14>I'm like, huh?

0:30:47.860 --> 0:30:48.580
<v Speaker 3>Is this 2022?

0:30:48.580 --> 0:30:50.900
<v Speaker 5>I'm trying to work.

0:30:51.020 --> 0:30:56.390
<v Speaker 8>If it was 2016, that is massive, massive news.

0:30:56.470 --> 0:30:59.870
<v Speaker 3>If we're getting Odell Beckham Jr. in his prime. I

0:30:59.910 --> 0:31:00.230
<v Speaker 3>don't know.

0:31:00.350 --> 0:31:02.290
<v Speaker 9>Maybe they pick some of the pieces off of the

0:31:02.430 --> 0:31:04.010
<v Speaker 9>Eagles in their fire sale.

0:31:04.290 --> 0:31:05.370
<v Speaker 5>I wish they got in the center.

0:31:05.650 --> 0:31:08.860

0:32:36.650 --> 0:32:36.910
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:32:37.270 --> 0:32:38.240
<v Speaker 5>And there's a membership fee.

0:32:38.250 --> 0:32:39.800
<v Speaker 3>Do you have to buy tickets for it?

0:32:39.850 --> 0:32:40.190
<v Speaker 11>No.

0:32:40.490 --> 0:32:41.490
<v Speaker 5>You have to go to Cannes.

0:32:43.210 --> 0:32:46.910
<v Speaker 3>The film festival? No. David Cannes. Brilliant, Maxwell.

0:32:49.770 --> 0:32:51.710
<v Speaker 8>The Vikings are at the Saints Sunday at noon right

0:32:51.730 --> 0:32:53.130
<v Speaker 8>here on the fan. The Vikings are one and a

0:32:53.170 --> 0:32:55.530
<v Speaker 8>half point favorites. The over-under is 42 and a half

0:32:55.590 --> 0:32:58.450
<v Speaker 8>on DraftKings. Yes, the Vikings did sign Odell Beckham Jr.

0:32:58.470 --> 0:33:02.170
<v Speaker 8>to the practice squad with the possibility.

0:33:01.230 --> 0:33:04.010
<v Speaker 3>Of elevation on Sunday. We'll see.

0:33:07.510 --> 0:33:11.450
<v Speaker 9>So Justin Jefferson limited. Jordan Addison did not practice, but

0:33:11.490 --> 0:33:14.470
<v Speaker 9>as we just played KOC audio before.

0:33:14.280 --> 0:33:17.820
<v Speaker 3>The break, don't know about either one of them definitively.

0:33:17.840 --> 0:33:20.540
<v Speaker 8>I think everybody thinks Jefferson's playing because he wants to

0:33:20.580 --> 0:33:23.220
<v Speaker 8>play in front of his home state. So we'll expect

0:33:23.420 --> 0:33:27.220
<v Speaker 8>Justin Jefferson, unless something dramatically changes. Maybe if Addison, uh,

0:33:27.300 --> 0:33:29.180
<v Speaker 8>progressed to the way KOC just hinted at that, we

0:33:29.220 --> 0:33:32.170
<v Speaker 8>see him as well, but still, uh.

0:33:32.270 --> 0:33:35.470
<v Speaker 9>The saints defense is terrible. This offense has struggled all

0:33:35.510 --> 0:33:35.970
<v Speaker 9>year long.

0:33:36.230 --> 0:33:38.830
<v Speaker 8>This is the get right game. If you want to

0:33:38.850 --> 0:33:40.190
<v Speaker 8>try to put up a bunch of points and feel

0:33:40.230 --> 0:33:42.270
<v Speaker 8>like this is, is clicking, this is the game to

0:33:42.310 --> 0:33:42.560
<v Speaker 8>do it.

0:33:43.290 --> 0:33:46.810
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Indoors, right? There's no weather. Nope. There might be

0:33:46.830 --> 0:33:47.930
<v Speaker 3>weather outdoors.

0:33:48.010 --> 0:33:48.190
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

0:33:48.330 --> 0:33:50.090
<v Speaker 3>But there's not going to be weather indoors. Nope.

0:33:50.650 --> 0:33:53.250
<v Speaker 9>It's a fast track. Hopefully they can score some points.

0:33:54.050 --> 0:33:55.950
<v Speaker 9>I know I said the exact same thing last week

0:33:55.990 --> 0:33:57.050
<v Speaker 9>and I was dead wrong.

0:33:57.090 --> 0:33:58.590
<v Speaker 5>No, I thought the same thing.

0:33:58.650 --> 0:34:00.070
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but if.

0:34:00.070 --> 0:34:02.210
<v Speaker 9>You can't do it against this bad of a defense,

0:34:02.250 --> 0:34:03.690
<v Speaker 9>I don't know who you're going to do it against.

0:34:04.450 --> 0:34:09.350
<v Speaker 9>And I saw something yesterday that the left tackle, one

0:34:09.370 --> 0:34:11.669
<v Speaker 9>of the tackles, excuse me, for the Saints has given

0:34:11.730 --> 0:34:13.550
<v Speaker 9>up the most pressures so far.

0:34:13.570 --> 0:34:18.040
<v Speaker 3>So, Good luck to Dallas Turner. Does he not still

0:34:18.100 --> 0:34:20.359
<v Speaker 3>lead the league in pressures? Dallas Turner? Yeah.

0:34:20.980 --> 0:34:24.360
<v Speaker 9>So he should have a field day on Sunday. Tonight,

0:34:24.400 --> 0:34:28.140
<v Speaker 9>Thursday night football. The Bucs are at the Cowboys at 715.

0:34:28.130 --> 0:34:30.290
<v Speaker 9>The Cowboys are eight and a half point favorites. One

0:34:30.310 --> 0:34:33.290
<v Speaker 9>of the reasons is the Bucs are starting undrafted rookie

0:34:33.330 --> 0:34:35.830
<v Speaker 9>quarterback Jalen Daniels out of Kansas.

0:34:36.989 --> 0:34:38.290
<v Speaker 3>Hideous. 23 years old.

0:34:39.170 --> 0:34:39.410
<v Speaker 5>So.

0:34:40.370 --> 0:34:43.810
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I mean, you're at home. You're the Cowboys.

0:34:43.850 --> 0:34:46.770
<v Speaker 8>You're facing an 0-4 Buck squad who hasn't looked good

0:34:46.790 --> 0:34:47.370
<v Speaker 8>with Baker.

0:34:47.390 --> 0:34:47.450
<v Speaker 1>No.

0:34:47.930 --> 0:34:52.440
<v Speaker 3>And now you're throwing Jalen Daniels in the mix. Yeah. Yeah. So.

0:34:53.700 --> 0:35:01.300
<v Speaker 3>Jeff Sutton, correct? The same. Yeah.

0:35:01.780 --> 0:35:04.450
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, they should destroy him. Although the Packers struggled with him,

0:35:04.480 --> 0:35:05.920
<v Speaker 9>but the Packers might be cheeks.

0:35:06.840 --> 0:35:09.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, this might be the most buns Packers team we've

0:35:09.239 --> 0:35:11.569
<v Speaker 3>ever seen. Yeah. Good.

0:35:11.590 --> 0:35:15.890
<v Speaker 9>I mean, they're home dogs against the Bears on Sunday.

0:35:16.170 --> 0:35:18.890
<v Speaker 3>Oh, they're friends. Yeah, they're buddies.

0:35:21.030 --> 0:35:24.190
<v Speaker 9>The Minnesota Wild are at Tampa Bay tonight at 6 o'clock.

0:35:24.250 --> 0:35:29.109
<v Speaker 9>The Wild 2-0-1. Tampa Bay is 2-1-0. The Wild go

0:35:29.340 --> 0:35:32.530
<v Speaker 9>at Florida on Saturday. Then they finally are home against

0:35:32.590 --> 0:35:36.259
<v Speaker 9>Vegas Monday at 7.

0:35:36.260 --> 0:35:37.880
<v Speaker 3>We should get the pulse of the city and go

0:35:37.920 --> 0:35:38.360
<v Speaker 3>to Vegas.

0:35:38.660 --> 0:35:39.000
<v Speaker 10>Agreed.

0:35:39.120 --> 0:35:41.020
<v Speaker 8>And again, if you haven't looked at the Wild schedule,

0:35:41.690 --> 0:35:44.069
<v Speaker 8>If you hear there's a wild game at any point,

0:35:44.090 --> 0:35:45.650
<v Speaker 8>like in the next two months, you're like, hey, did

0:35:45.670 --> 0:35:46.270
<v Speaker 8>the wild play tonight?

0:35:46.290 --> 0:35:49.970
<v Speaker 3>And your buddy goes, yeah, they're playing Tampa tonight. Before

0:35:50.010 --> 0:35:53.720
<v Speaker 3>you ask, well, is it here or there? It's there.

0:35:55.640 --> 0:35:57.310
<v Speaker 8>It's going to be a road game for the next

0:35:57.310 --> 0:36:00.330
<v Speaker 8>15 to 16 months. Then they have a whole bunch

0:36:00.350 --> 0:36:04.490
<v Speaker 8>of home games after that. But it is a road-heavy

0:36:04.830 --> 0:36:07.089
<v Speaker 8>start to the season for the Minnesota Wilds. So just

0:36:07.110 --> 0:36:09.550
<v Speaker 8>for the foreseeable future, just assume they're on the road.

0:36:09.550 --> 0:36:13.100
<v Speaker 2>21 of the first 31 games this season will be

0:36:13.140 --> 0:36:16.359
<v Speaker 2>on the road for the Wilds. I don't think they've...

0:36:17.540 --> 0:36:19.940
<v Speaker 2>I think that's the first time in NHL history that's happened.

0:36:20.120 --> 0:36:23.350
<v Speaker 8>So the first home game in the 2026 season is

0:36:23.550 --> 0:36:25.390
<v Speaker 8>Arbor Day 2027.

0:36:25.390 --> 0:36:27.700
<v Speaker 3>Isn't that your birthday? No, it's Earth Day. But thank

0:36:27.719 --> 0:36:30.580
<v Speaker 3>you for asking. Yeah. The Earth and I have a

0:36:30.600 --> 0:36:34.839
<v Speaker 3>lot in common. You're the number one environmentalist at the fan.

0:36:34.960 --> 0:36:38.580
<v Speaker 3>Not even close. 100% correct. Well said, Max. I can't

0:36:38.600 --> 0:36:40.279
<v Speaker 3>think of it. Used to be Rosie, but now I

0:36:40.320 --> 0:36:42.859
<v Speaker 3>get solar panels put on and now I'm number one.

0:36:44.280 --> 0:36:47.040
<v Speaker 3>You know? Yeah. What hasn't happened to him yet? No.

0:36:48.710 --> 0:36:50.030
<v Speaker 3>The wolves lost to the Pacers.

0:36:50.150 --> 0:36:53.990
<v Speaker 8>One 23, one 12 in preseason NBA action. The best

0:36:54.130 --> 0:36:57.330
<v Speaker 8>lamello ball, 14 points and seven assists in 20 minutes.

0:36:57.370 --> 0:37:03.580
<v Speaker 8>Jonathan Kaminga, one of nine points. They are at Miami

0:37:03.719 --> 0:37:05.480
<v Speaker 8>on Saturday at seven o'clock.

0:37:06.180 --> 0:37:08.779
<v Speaker 9>Uh, I've only seen highlights cause, uh, I don't have

0:37:08.940 --> 0:37:11.860
<v Speaker 9>the zone, but, uh, you have the crabs.

0:37:12.120 --> 0:37:19.920
<v Speaker 3>No, that was you. Um, there's the Ben, um, The Wolves.

0:37:20.010 --> 0:37:24.470
<v Speaker 9>Are going to be the good. LaMelo Ball is outstanding.

0:37:24.790 --> 0:37:26.410
<v Speaker 9>I know it's only two preseason games. Why didn't you

0:37:26.469 --> 0:37:28.730
<v Speaker 9>say DaMelo Ball? Just to keep the bit going. Well,

0:37:28.770 --> 0:37:30.890
<v Speaker 9>I thought you guys had tired of it. I could

0:37:30.910 --> 0:37:32.390
<v Speaker 9>tell by the look on your face you don't think

0:37:32.430 --> 0:37:35.440
<v Speaker 9>I'm funny anymore. Well, DaMelo is going to be.

0:37:35.460 --> 0:37:38.080
<v Speaker 3>Man, my poker face is terrible. DaBomb. Did I really

0:37:38.120 --> 0:37:40.180
<v Speaker 3>tip my hand that easily? Yes.

0:37:40.700 --> 0:37:41.240
<v Speaker 5>And more.

0:37:43.060 --> 0:37:46.570
<v Speaker 9>But yeah, LaMelo is going to be great. This is

0:37:46.590 --> 0:37:48.610
<v Speaker 9>going to work out as long as he's going to

0:37:48.630 --> 0:37:49.150
<v Speaker 9>change everything.

0:37:49.370 --> 0:37:52.770
<v Speaker 3>And the ant. On DAZN. They are the new Splash

0:37:53.030 --> 0:37:53.450
<v Speaker 3>Da Brothers.

0:37:53.469 --> 0:37:56.900
<v Speaker 9>Again, DAZN is the dumbest name for a station I've

0:37:56.960 --> 0:37:57.379
<v Speaker 9>ever heard.

0:37:57.660 --> 0:38:02.939
<v Speaker 3>Hi, Ben. Good morning, guys. Good morning. Good morning. Benjamin Lieber. Hi, Ben.

0:38:03.300 --> 0:38:03.880

0:38:04.160 --> 0:38:04.540
<v Speaker 13>Hi, Ben.

0:38:05.060 --> 0:38:06.900
<v Speaker 3>Hi. Hey, Chris was on your show the other day.

0:38:06.920 --> 0:38:07.219
<v Speaker 1>I know.

0:38:07.300 --> 0:38:08.100
<v Speaker 14>Wasn't he so good?

0:38:08.200 --> 0:38:09.480
<v Speaker 5>Oh, thank you, Ben. You guys are great.

0:38:10.540 --> 0:38:11.339
<v Speaker 3>You were really good.

0:38:11.660 --> 0:38:14.450
<v Speaker 14>Obviously, we knew that was going to happen. And here's

0:38:14.469 --> 0:38:17.219
<v Speaker 14>the good thing. Behind the scenes... we were a little

0:38:17.390 --> 0:38:20.310
<v Speaker 14>light on timing. And so we're trying to figure out

0:38:20.810 --> 0:38:22.669
<v Speaker 14>during the commercial breaks, like, what.

0:38:22.590 --> 0:38:22.830
<v Speaker 3>Do we do?

0:38:22.910 --> 0:38:23.650
<v Speaker 14>I go, don't worry.

0:38:24.390 --> 0:38:25.590
<v Speaker 3>Don't worry. Chris can fill.

0:38:25.670 --> 0:38:26.890
<v Speaker 14>I was like, we're going to be fine.

0:38:27.050 --> 0:38:28.050
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:38:28.290 --> 0:38:28.830
<v Speaker 11>And we were there.

0:38:28.910 --> 0:38:31.650
<v Speaker 9>We're paid to fill three and a half hours. We

0:38:31.690 --> 0:38:33.770
<v Speaker 9>can definitely feel like a seven minute second.

0:38:33.890 --> 0:38:34.170
<v Speaker 3>Sure.

0:38:34.450 --> 0:38:35.230
<v Speaker 5>Give me the green light.

0:38:35.450 --> 0:38:35.870
<v Speaker 3>I'll find.

0:38:35.890 --> 0:38:36.109
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

0:38:36.150 --> 0:38:38.490
<v Speaker 14>We just kept asking questions and he just kept going.

0:38:38.710 --> 0:38:41.010
<v Speaker 5>I even did my Shelby foot impression for you guys.

0:38:41.830 --> 0:38:44.710
<v Speaker 3>Did you really? He had to stretch.

0:38:44.730 --> 0:38:47.870
<v Speaker 5>How'd it go? What are you talking about? I love it.

0:38:48.110 --> 0:38:50.160
<v Speaker 3>He goes, oh, it's Sherman.

0:38:50.510 --> 0:38:52.900
<v Speaker 5>I'm just way down in the line of Georgia.

0:38:55.400 --> 0:38:58.040
<v Speaker 14>You know, the one thing that I didn't, we kind

0:38:58.080 --> 0:38:58.779
<v Speaker 14>of missed on that.

0:38:59.020 --> 0:38:59.339
<v Speaker 5>What's that?

0:38:59.520 --> 0:39:01.460
<v Speaker 14>Is that we had a graphic on the screen when

0:39:01.520 --> 0:39:03.980
<v Speaker 14>you were doing your face and you kind of like smirked.

0:39:04.239 --> 0:39:04.819
<v Speaker 5>Oh, is that right?

0:39:04.900 --> 0:39:05.820
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:39:06.820 --> 0:39:09.680
<v Speaker 14>So I was looking, because you know the little monitor

0:39:09.780 --> 0:39:12.589
<v Speaker 14>under the teleprompter, that's what the people see at home. Oh, okay,

0:39:12.710 --> 0:39:15.640
<v Speaker 14>got it. And I looked at the to see what

0:39:15.680 --> 0:39:18.029
<v Speaker 14>people are looking at, and they weren't on your face.

0:39:18.530 --> 0:39:21.850
<v Speaker 3>So they heard his voice during the Civil War shot. Yeah.

0:39:22.310 --> 0:39:25.810
<v Speaker 14>It was a great impression. It's just the visual part

0:39:25.830 --> 0:39:28.010
<v Speaker 14>of it when you smirked, which was a great part,

0:39:28.710 --> 0:39:29.330
<v Speaker 14>nobody else saw.

0:39:29.660 --> 0:39:31.280
<v Speaker 8>Well, if your show is ever going to turn into

0:39:31.320 --> 0:39:34.259
<v Speaker 8>just a show of afternoon impressions, may I suggest having

0:39:34.320 --> 0:39:36.120
<v Speaker 8>Max on to do his Pee Wee Herman impression?

0:39:36.160 --> 0:39:41.680
<v Speaker 3>Hey, guys. Welcome to Twin Cities Live. See, there it is.

0:39:42.180 --> 0:39:45.350
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's the best impression I've ever heard. Thank you.

0:39:45.670 --> 0:39:48.210
<v Speaker 5>It hurts him. It physically hurts him.

0:39:48.230 --> 0:39:50.549
<v Speaker 3>I got to get into it. He's working on it. Yeah,

0:39:50.730 --> 0:39:53.850
<v Speaker 3>it's good, Max. What's the deal with this airplane food?

0:39:55.190 --> 0:39:56.029
<v Speaker 5>Peewee Seinfeld.

0:39:56.070 --> 0:39:59.069
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Peewee Seinfeld. Brilliant. Oh, man.

0:39:59.090 --> 0:40:01.250
<v Speaker 5>Actually, I need that B-Rob thing. Or not B-Rob.

0:40:01.270 --> 0:40:05.089
<v Speaker 3>Brian O'Neill. Brian O'Neill. Dang it. Here, watch.

0:40:05.110 --> 0:40:06.950
<v Speaker 9>We'll stretch then. This is how pros do it. We'll

0:40:06.969 --> 0:40:07.970
<v Speaker 9>stretch while we're waiting.

0:40:08.770 --> 0:40:14.600
<v Speaker 3>Ben. Ben. Odell Beckham Jr. Your thoughts.

0:40:18.540 --> 0:40:22.120
<v Speaker 14>In all honesty, I don't, this one's a little, this

0:40:22.180 --> 0:40:25.430
<v Speaker 14>one's a little confusing to me because it's, it's what's

0:40:26.350 --> 0:40:29.730
<v Speaker 14>my question is, what's the message? What's the message you're

0:40:29.750 --> 0:40:33.330
<v Speaker 14>trying to send? Are you trying to tell Ty Felton

0:40:33.489 --> 0:40:36.689
<v Speaker 14>and Juwan Jennings that they're not producing and like, Hey guys,

0:40:36.730 --> 0:40:39.819
<v Speaker 14>better kick it in the rear because we're, we're not

0:40:39.880 --> 0:40:41.940
<v Speaker 14>against bringing other people off the street to try to

0:40:41.960 --> 0:40:48.210
<v Speaker 14>take your job. Or is this a, Hey, we got

0:40:48.230 --> 0:40:51.589
<v Speaker 14>some injuries. We got, we got a guy that's, you know,

0:40:51.610 --> 0:40:53.589
<v Speaker 14>take his name plate off. This is a guy that's

0:40:53.610 --> 0:40:55.650
<v Speaker 14>been in the system before. We feel like we can

0:40:55.690 --> 0:40:58.180
<v Speaker 14>trust him. This is just a guy that's been in

0:40:58.200 --> 0:41:02.140
<v Speaker 14>our system to provide some depth. So what's the message?

0:41:03.040 --> 0:41:05.040
<v Speaker 14>I don't know because you guys already talked about it.

0:41:05.280 --> 0:41:08.890
<v Speaker 14>The production's not there. It's not like, He's a highly

0:41:08.950 --> 0:41:13.370
<v Speaker 14>productive wide receiver. He's a known commodity. He's a known

0:41:13.469 --> 0:41:18.029
<v Speaker 14>asset for years as far as his name goes, his reputation,

0:41:18.130 --> 0:41:21.650
<v Speaker 14>but what does it mean? That's the thing I don't understand.

0:41:21.670 --> 0:41:26.270
<v Speaker 14>What does it mean? There's so many, I think there's

0:41:26.350 --> 0:41:29.730
<v Speaker 14>so many, maybe not so many is the wrong way

0:41:29.750 --> 0:41:33.320
<v Speaker 14>to start this, but running back is a situation where

0:41:33.620 --> 0:41:37.080
<v Speaker 14>we need depth. And not just depth, we need guys

0:41:37.100 --> 0:41:43.330
<v Speaker 14>that can So not just in some situations, we need

0:41:43.370 --> 0:41:46.450
<v Speaker 14>guys at running back to actually play. Cause it looks

0:41:46.489 --> 0:41:52.460
<v Speaker 14>like Claiborne is probably a season away. DJ Dallas is

0:41:52.739 --> 0:41:54.340
<v Speaker 14>cool as it was to see him get into the

0:41:54.380 --> 0:41:56.980
<v Speaker 14>game when he got signed like three days before and

0:41:57.020 --> 0:41:59.340
<v Speaker 14>actually get some reps and make some plays on special teams.

0:42:00.040 --> 0:42:02.780
<v Speaker 14>He's not really the guy either to spell Aaron Jones

0:42:03.600 --> 0:42:05.660
<v Speaker 14>with Jordan Mason out. And then even when Jordan Mason

0:42:05.700 --> 0:42:08.810
<v Speaker 14>comes back, I would feel more comfortable if we had

0:42:08.850 --> 0:42:12.340
<v Speaker 14>a true number three running back that could get some snaps.

0:42:13.280 --> 0:42:16.020
<v Speaker 14>So I just feel like this wide receiver really a

0:42:16.060 --> 0:42:17.859
<v Speaker 14>spot to bring in another guy like that.

0:42:18.620 --> 0:42:20.200
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. Well said.

0:42:20.480 --> 0:42:22.100
<v Speaker 8>Now here's what it would sound like if Pee Wee

0:42:22.120 --> 0:42:24.340
<v Speaker 8>Herman was calling the game between the Saints and the

0:42:24.380 --> 0:42:25.300
<v Speaker 8>Vikings on Sunday.

0:42:29.810 --> 0:42:30.550
<v Speaker 3>Ernie's loose.

0:42:30.830 --> 0:42:31.130
<v Speaker 9>Ernie.

0:42:31.190 --> 0:42:34.090
<v Speaker 3>Somebody go get Ernie. That is actually more of a

0:42:34.150 --> 0:42:38.030
<v Speaker 3>bird impression than peewee anyway. That's true. Oh, gee, Ernie.

0:42:38.200 --> 0:42:42.560
<v Speaker 3>Go get Ernie. I think it's great, Max. God, you

0:42:42.600 --> 0:42:45.700
<v Speaker 3>guys really do have each other's backs. I love Max.

0:42:46.020 --> 0:42:47.800
<v Speaker 5>I aspire to have a relationship.

0:42:47.340 --> 0:42:47.759
<v Speaker 3>Like you guys.

0:42:47.780 --> 0:42:48.000
<v Speaker 10>Yeah.

0:42:48.940 --> 0:42:52.399
<v Speaker 8>Sus struggles to spell Texas and Max is like, you.

0:42:52.320 --> 0:42:56.140
<v Speaker 3>Can do it, buddy. Spelling. You got this. Yeah. I

0:42:56.160 --> 0:42:57.520
<v Speaker 3>was hyped for it yesterday, dog.

0:42:57.640 --> 0:42:58.259
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, thank you.

0:42:58.360 --> 0:43:00.310
<v Speaker 5>Zach said it. It's Broback Mountain.

0:43:01.530 --> 0:43:04.710
<v Speaker 3>Broback Mountain. Max knows how to spell Texas.

0:43:05.890 --> 0:43:06.270
<v Speaker 4>Oh, yeah.

0:43:07.469 --> 0:43:08.430
<v Speaker 3>Shout out to Alexis.

0:43:11.390 --> 0:43:13.790
<v Speaker 8>We'll do what really matters after this. This is the

0:43:13.830 --> 0:43:15.830

0:43:36.780 --> 0:43:41.740
<v Speaker 15>freshest produce, specialty items, and natural and organic products. Because

0:43:41.760 --> 0:43:44.630
<v Speaker 15>you shouldn't have to choose between quality.

0:43:46.150 --> 0:43:48.310

<v Speaker 2>powered by Quantum Fiber from AT &amp; T. All right.

0:44:05.440 --> 0:44:07.140
<v Speaker 3>Should we do What Really Matters so we can learn

0:44:07.200 --> 0:44:08.520
<v Speaker 3>something about the world? Absolutely.

0:44:08.540 --> 0:44:10.640
<v Speaker 5>We'll do that. And we have Fargo Flash by phone

0:44:10.680 --> 0:44:12.370
<v Speaker 5>from Texas in the next segment as well. So there

0:44:12.390 --> 0:44:13.870
<v Speaker 5>you go.

0:44:14.090 --> 0:44:16.110
<v Speaker 8>Here's why I like this bit. Yesterday we learned about

0:44:16.489 --> 0:44:18.910
<v Speaker 8>giraffes head-butting bladders.

0:44:19.050 --> 0:44:19.950
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. What?

0:44:20.930 --> 0:44:25.590
<v Speaker 8>That male giraffes will head-butt the bladder of a female

0:44:25.630 --> 0:44:30.310
<v Speaker 8>giraffe so they pee. And then the male giraffe can

0:44:30.410 --> 0:44:33.280
<v Speaker 8>taste whether or not the female giraffe is fertile.

0:44:33.300 --> 0:44:36.419
<v Speaker 3>That's so kinky. It is, isn't it?

0:44:36.440 --> 0:44:38.719
<v Speaker 8>So then I'm out in the world walking around, walking around.

0:44:39.880 --> 0:44:42.610
<v Speaker 8>And again, people don't come up to me and go, hey,

0:44:42.630 --> 0:44:45.510
<v Speaker 8>I love the show. Really, really like your take on J.J.

0:44:45.550 --> 0:44:50.360
<v Speaker 3>McCarthy and Kyler Murray. It was... So giraffes lick urine

0:44:50.400 --> 0:44:52.580
<v Speaker 3>to taste fertility. And I go, thanks for listening to

0:44:52.620 --> 0:44:55.660
<v Speaker 3>the show. And also with you. Yep, exactly. It says,

0:44:55.680 --> 0:44:58.060
<v Speaker 3>see this, you don't have to do sports. You just

0:44:58.080 --> 0:44:59.520
<v Speaker 3>have to talk about giraffe urine.

0:44:59.760 --> 0:44:59.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:45:01.120 --> 0:45:04.060
<v Speaker 8>Oval LASIK and lens brings you what really matters. Scores

0:45:04.100 --> 0:45:05.779
<v Speaker 8>and stats around the world of sports. And then Chris

0:45:05.800 --> 0:45:09.799
<v Speaker 8>hockey changes your life. Changes your life with something else

0:45:09.820 --> 0:45:11.280
<v Speaker 8>brought to you by Oval LASIK and lens.

0:45:11.300 --> 0:45:12.870
<v Speaker 3>Dr. Mark Lovenoff and Dr. David Whiting.

0:45:12.890 --> 0:45:14.969
<v Speaker 5>That's right. High bar, but I'm up to it.

0:45:15.150 --> 0:45:20.300
<v Speaker 3>John Rahm is leaving live golf. isn't it dead?

0:45:21.120 --> 0:45:25.280
<v Speaker 8>Not quite yet, but very close live golf, uh, filed

0:45:25.320 --> 0:45:28.050
<v Speaker 8>for chapter 11 bankruptcy back on September 11th.

0:45:28.080 --> 0:45:30.140
<v Speaker 9>They reached out to Jack Prescott. That's all he does.

0:45:30.180 --> 0:45:33.080
<v Speaker 9>And he does it well. So no, he's.

0:45:32.989 --> 0:45:36.630
<v Speaker 5>Not out of my heart outdoors.

0:45:35.790 --> 0:45:36.549
<v Speaker 3>In my heart. He's not.

0:45:37.650 --> 0:45:39.750
<v Speaker 8>Uh, so it's unclear where John Rom's going to go

0:45:39.810 --> 0:45:41.930
<v Speaker 8>next or when he's going to be able to do anything.

0:45:41.950 --> 0:45:44.290
<v Speaker 8>Cause the path to the PGA tour apparently is not

0:45:44.710 --> 0:45:45.590
<v Speaker 8>clear or easy.

0:45:45.650 --> 0:45:48.540
<v Speaker 3>Apparently it's, Remember the.

0:45:48.480 --> 0:45:50.360
<v Speaker 8>PGA Tour kind of gave some of those guys a

0:45:50.400 --> 0:45:52.140
<v Speaker 8>window to like, you better come back.

0:45:52.360 --> 0:45:54.060
<v Speaker 3>And if you don't come back now, I can't promise

0:45:54.080 --> 0:45:54.859
<v Speaker 3>that you're ever coming back.

0:45:54.880 --> 0:45:57.899
<v Speaker 8>So it sounds like Liv still has his rights, Jon

0:45:57.940 --> 0:45:59.020
<v Speaker 8>Rahm's rights, for years.

0:45:59.980 --> 0:46:02.859
<v Speaker 3>So even though he's like, I'm out of here, they

0:46:02.900 --> 0:46:04.660
<v Speaker 3>owe him $ 100 million still.

0:46:05.080 --> 0:46:09.979
<v Speaker 8>And Rahm is the largest creditor remaining for Liv Golf

0:46:10.000 --> 0:46:11.600
<v Speaker 8>because they're in bankruptcy.

0:46:11.620 --> 0:46:17.030
<v Speaker 3>They don't have any money. Nope. They owe him $ 100 million. Yeah. Wow.

0:46:17.910 --> 0:46:21.250
<v Speaker 9>They're in a situation, too, where the PGA Tour did

0:46:21.310 --> 0:46:23.110
<v Speaker 9>exactly what it should have done with this, and it

0:46:23.170 --> 0:46:25.710
<v Speaker 9>worked out, where they just waited this out because they

0:46:25.770 --> 0:46:28.450
<v Speaker 9>knew their investors and the powers that be at the

0:46:28.489 --> 0:46:32.279
<v Speaker 9>PGA Tour knew this really wouldn't work, that even people,

0:46:32.739 --> 0:46:36.660
<v Speaker 9>the fund that started this, even though they basically have

0:46:36.700 --> 0:46:39.440
<v Speaker 9>endless money, they don't like losing money. And this has

0:46:39.520 --> 0:46:43.399
<v Speaker 9>lost money every step of the way. And a guy

0:46:43.440 --> 0:46:46.500
<v Speaker 9>like Jon Rahm, though, you need back on the PGA Tour.

0:46:46.540 --> 0:46:49.029
<v Speaker 9>You can pretend that they, you know, well, you had

0:46:49.070 --> 0:46:51.830
<v Speaker 9>your opportunity. They're not, you know, like, I can't think

0:46:51.870 --> 0:46:54.250
<v Speaker 9>who's the guy that wears like the really loud pants.

0:46:55.110 --> 0:46:55.770
<v Speaker 3>Ian Poulter.

0:46:55.830 --> 0:46:58.530
<v Speaker 9>They're not going to open the door for Ian Poulter,

0:46:58.550 --> 0:47:01.830
<v Speaker 9>whatever that guy's name is. But Jon Rahm, they will

0:47:01.870 --> 0:47:02.330
<v Speaker 9>let back.

0:47:02.450 --> 0:47:05.070
<v Speaker 3>They have to. Jon Rahm is king.

0:47:05.160 --> 0:47:07.759
<v Speaker 9>They need that guy back on the tour because he's

0:47:07.820 --> 0:47:09.920
<v Speaker 9>a draw, and he makes a lot of money, and

0:47:09.960 --> 0:47:12.200
<v Speaker 9>he's got a lot of sponsors. They will let Jon

0:47:12.239 --> 0:47:14.600
<v Speaker 9>Rahm in some way if he's got to pay money

0:47:15.060 --> 0:47:17.120
<v Speaker 9>like Koepka did. But Jon Rahm is a guy they'll

0:47:17.140 --> 0:47:18.180
<v Speaker 9>let back on the tour.

0:47:19.000 --> 0:47:23.969
<v Speaker 14>Can I ask a really dorky question? Just raise the

0:47:24.030 --> 0:47:25.430
<v Speaker 14>nerd alert flag and siren.

0:47:25.450 --> 0:47:26.170
<v Speaker 3>Let's do it.

0:47:27.310 --> 0:47:32.009
<v Speaker 14>So Liv Golf is a Saudi Arabian– entity right is

0:47:32.090 --> 0:47:36.250
<v Speaker 14>chapter 11 a global thing is that a universal term

0:47:36.410 --> 0:47:39.870
<v Speaker 14>like is that a universal legal thing i'm.

0:47:39.570 --> 0:47:42.990
<v Speaker 5>About to find out for all.

0:47:46.320 --> 0:47:47.759
<v Speaker 3>Genius Yeah.

0:47:47.960 --> 0:47:49.500
<v Speaker 5>I don't know. That's a great question. I never thought

0:47:49.540 --> 0:47:50.160
<v Speaker 5>about it before.

0:47:50.420 --> 0:47:52.960
<v Speaker 14>If you're a company from Saudi Arabia, is that what

0:47:53.000 --> 0:47:56.339
<v Speaker 14>you actually file for is Chapter 11 bankruptcy? Isn't that

0:47:56.360 --> 0:47:58.890
<v Speaker 14>like an American term, like an American legal system thing?

0:47:58.950 --> 0:48:03.630
<v Speaker 3>Who do I look like? Jack Prescott? Hawk, ask your daddy.

0:48:03.730 --> 0:48:06.490
<v Speaker 3>He would know. That's actually a really good question.

0:48:06.610 --> 0:48:08.830
<v Speaker 9>It's too bad Jack Prescott's not around to answer that

0:48:08.870 --> 0:48:10.870
<v Speaker 9>question for us. There's got to be somebody that knows.

0:48:11.930 --> 0:48:14.410
<v Speaker 9>By the way, did the Prescott family... I think we

0:48:14.450 --> 0:48:19.960
<v Speaker 9>talked about this once. Did the Prescott family... continue his legacy? Like,

0:48:19.980 --> 0:48:22.640
<v Speaker 9>does he have sons or daughters that are also bankruptcy lawyers?

0:48:23.360 --> 0:48:25.980
<v Speaker 3>I would guess. Well, I mean, you're not a lawyer.

0:48:26.340 --> 0:48:28.259
<v Speaker 5>They named a whole city after him in Wisconsin.

0:48:30.070 --> 0:48:32.509
<v Speaker 3>I wonder. Because this was, it was all he did

0:48:32.570 --> 0:48:35.049
<v Speaker 3>and he did it well. Right? I would think that

0:48:35.090 --> 0:48:37.509
<v Speaker 3>his kids would Only do this and do it well.

0:48:37.530 --> 0:48:39.109
<v Speaker 5>I bet his kids were like, I wish you'd take

0:48:39.170 --> 0:48:41.509
<v Speaker 5>us to Disney World. All I'm doing is this.

0:48:42.469 --> 0:48:45.090
<v Speaker 3>I bet they were. Dad, you want to have a catch?

0:48:45.320 --> 0:48:48.120
<v Speaker 3>I just do bankruptcies. Did I not tell you this?

0:48:49.460 --> 0:48:51.380
<v Speaker 5>Get off the set. I'm filming a commercial.

0:48:51.800 --> 0:48:57.540
<v Speaker 8>Want to play Monopoly, Dad? My little league championship games

0:48:57.600 --> 0:49:01.460
<v Speaker 8>on Saturday, Dad. I don't have time. Chris Hockey's on

0:49:01.520 --> 0:49:02.060
<v Speaker 8>line one.

0:49:02.340 --> 0:49:02.860
<v Speaker 3>Exactly.

0:49:04.260 --> 0:49:05.500
<v Speaker 9>Talk to the Hockey's again.

0:49:07.860 --> 0:49:12.810
<v Speaker 3>Chapter 11. Over and over and over again. Hockey, no.

0:49:13.050 --> 0:49:14.710
<v Speaker 3>In all seriousness, Ben, I have no idea.

0:49:14.750 --> 0:49:16.430
<v Speaker 8>It's probably a good question. I mean, obviously, you can

0:49:16.450 --> 0:49:18.730
<v Speaker 8>file bankruptcy probably all over the world. I have no

0:49:18.810 --> 0:49:19.950
<v Speaker 8>idea how that process works.

0:49:20.260 --> 0:49:20.480
<v Speaker 4>Works.

0:49:20.540 --> 0:49:23.720
<v Speaker 3>Or maybe there's... Who knows? Why am I even talking?

0:49:23.760 --> 0:49:25.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what I'm talking about. That's why you've

0:49:25.500 --> 0:49:26.320
<v Speaker 3>got to hire an expert.

0:49:26.360 --> 0:49:27.040
<v Speaker 9>God, I'm.

0:49:29.480 --> 0:49:33.350
<v Speaker 3>Trying to think. Jack Sparrow? No, not Jack Sparrow. That's close.

0:49:33.390 --> 0:49:34.690
<v Speaker 3>That sounds right. Jack Lemon?

0:49:34.850 --> 0:49:35.190
<v Speaker 10>No.

0:49:36.510 --> 0:49:37.170
<v Speaker 14>Jack Mehoff?

0:49:37.550 --> 0:49:37.770
<v Speaker 5>No.

0:49:37.790 --> 0:49:38.390
<v Speaker 3>It's got to be him.

0:49:38.410 --> 0:49:38.950
<v Speaker 5>He's an expert.

0:49:38.989 --> 0:49:44.219
<v Speaker 3>Calm down, Zach. He doesn't know much. I don't know.

0:49:44.260 --> 0:49:45.939
<v Speaker 3>What really matters though is this.

0:49:46.180 --> 0:49:47.180
<v Speaker 5>Did you have something to make so?

0:49:47.800 --> 0:49:50.259
<v Speaker 13>I think I just googled it and I didn't find

0:49:50.840 --> 0:49:53.370
<v Speaker 13>a clear answer but this one thing says that it's

0:49:53.430 --> 0:49:58.210
<v Speaker 13>the it's considered the standard for rescue statues around the world.

0:49:58.230 --> 0:50:01.450
<v Speaker 13>Does the World Bank encourages that model?

0:50:02.489 --> 0:50:02.609
<v Speaker 10>Oh.

0:50:03.140 --> 0:50:03.759
<v Speaker 3>All your hands up.

0:50:05.780 --> 0:50:13.069
<v Speaker 9>Is chapter 11 bankruptcy like a It's not a get-out-of-jail-for-free card, but, like,

0:50:13.910 --> 0:50:16.819
<v Speaker 9>is all your debt, like, if you can prove that

0:50:16.840 --> 0:50:18.520
<v Speaker 9>you can't pay back debt.

0:50:19.719 --> 0:50:22.899
<v Speaker 3>Are you just, like, forgiven? Do you just move on? Like,

0:50:22.960 --> 0:50:23.540
<v Speaker 3>what happened?

0:50:23.580 --> 0:50:24.520
<v Speaker 14>Are you going to chime in or what?

0:50:24.540 --> 0:50:25.080
<v Speaker 5>Ask me in a week.

0:50:26.540 --> 0:50:27.390
<v Speaker 3>I wasn't asking you.

0:50:27.520 --> 0:50:29.160
<v Speaker 8>Well, first of all, when it comes to bankruptcy, you

0:50:29.200 --> 0:50:31.510
<v Speaker 8>just can't say it. You have to declare it.

0:50:31.960 --> 0:50:32.419
<v Speaker 3>Great bit.

0:50:32.780 --> 0:50:33.500
<v Speaker 5>I declare.

0:50:33.680 --> 0:50:36.859
<v Speaker 3>One of the greatest bits. No, wait a week, Hawk.

0:50:38.410 --> 0:50:45.580
<v Speaker 5>Well, I declare I can't pay for my car. Well,

0:50:45.640 --> 0:50:48.180
<v Speaker 5>I declare I'm about to make some mistakes.

0:50:48.820 --> 0:50:51.290
<v Speaker 9>When Corey first said chapter 11, I was about to

0:50:51.469 --> 0:50:54.669
<v Speaker 9>scream hockey, but I didn't want to make you feel it.

0:50:55.890 --> 0:50:57.450
<v Speaker 9>I waited until you made the joke.

0:50:57.469 --> 0:50:58.090
<v Speaker 3>Thank you.

0:50:58.469 --> 0:51:01.080
<v Speaker 5>Well, I declare. Hockey!

0:51:02.219 --> 0:51:05.740
<v Speaker 9>How many books, Sauce, did you actually ever reach Chapter

0:51:05.739 --> 0:51:06.140
<v Speaker 9>11 in?

0:51:06.160 --> 0:51:09.890
<v Speaker 3>Oh, The Catcher in the Rye. The Cat in the Hat?

0:51:10.590 --> 0:51:15.529
<v Speaker 3>That doesn't have chapters. Good, good. Again, Catcher in the

0:51:15.570 --> 0:51:17.730
<v Speaker 3>Rye is about what? Catcher in the Rye is about

0:51:18.130 --> 0:51:19.830
<v Speaker 3>a kid. Baseball player that makes bread?

0:51:20.090 --> 0:51:20.270
<v Speaker 1>Yep.

0:51:21.290 --> 0:51:25.850
<v Speaker 3>A kid who is a rebel. Without a cause. Holden

0:51:25.950 --> 0:51:27.030
<v Speaker 3>Caulfield is his name.

0:51:27.130 --> 0:51:27.370
<v Speaker 2>Sure.

0:51:27.630 --> 0:51:28.029
<v Speaker 3>And you.

0:51:28.530 --> 0:51:28.760
<v Speaker 13>And you.

0:51:30.020 --> 0:51:31.629
<v Speaker 3>I haven't read it in, like, 20 years. But, like,

0:51:34.210 --> 0:51:36.580

0:51:45.600 --> 0:51:47.420
<v Speaker 3>Are you saying it or are you declaring it? I

0:51:47.420 --> 0:51:48.739
<v Speaker 3>declare it. Or are you declaring it?

0:51:48.760 --> 0:51:49.799
<v Speaker 5>I declare it.

0:51:49.860 --> 0:51:51.700

<v Speaker 3>I'm really nice. I know, Ben.

0:52:24.739 --> 0:52:25.980
<v Speaker 4>Nice to have you in nice and early.

0:52:26.440 --> 0:52:27.259
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I know.

0:52:27.460 --> 0:52:29.420
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, these guys are nice to, like, you know, make

0:52:29.460 --> 0:52:31.980
<v Speaker 14>some changes for me. But, yeah, good to talk to you.

0:52:32.860 --> 0:52:35.190
<v Speaker 5>Why are you in Texas? Are you there actually for

0:52:35.210 --> 0:52:35.790
<v Speaker 5>the football game?

0:52:35.810 --> 0:52:36.290
<v Speaker 3>Why are you there?

0:52:37.770 --> 0:52:39.170
<v Speaker 4>A little work first, and then.

0:52:40.550 --> 0:52:44.089
<v Speaker 11>Saturday morning, I thought I'd stick around and watch what

0:52:44.170 --> 0:52:46.930
<v Speaker 11>many people say is the greatest rivalry in college football,

0:52:47.270 --> 0:52:50.730
<v Speaker 11>the Red River Shootout. We have obviously a number one

0:52:50.790 --> 0:52:54.860
<v Speaker 11>Texas team in Arch Manning playing at the Texas State

0:52:54.950 --> 0:52:59.380
<v Speaker 11>Fair versus an Oklahoma team that, if you remember, was

0:52:59.420 --> 0:53:03.020
<v Speaker 11>in the college football playoff a year ago with John Mateer,

0:53:03.140 --> 0:53:04.580
<v Speaker 11>but they're struggling.

0:53:04.700 --> 0:53:07.899
<v Speaker 4>So Well, they say anything can happen in a rivalry game.

0:53:07.920 --> 0:53:09.580
<v Speaker 11>If you look at the last four games, there's been

0:53:10.520 --> 0:53:14.160
<v Speaker 11>in those four years, three blowouts by.

0:53:13.739 --> 0:53:14.820
<v Speaker 4>Texas over Oklahoma.

0:53:14.880 --> 0:53:17.620
<v Speaker 11>And then the big stack down here this week has

0:53:17.660 --> 0:53:21.529
<v Speaker 11>been Texas hasn't scored, or Oklahoma has not scored a

0:53:21.670 --> 0:53:25.350
<v Speaker 11>touchdown in this series since, I think it was like

0:53:25.410 --> 0:53:30.690
<v Speaker 11>October 6th of 2023, when Dylan Gabriel threw a touchdown pass.

0:53:31.410 --> 0:53:33.250
<v Speaker 4>So it's been a while. So we'll see what happens.

0:53:34.480 --> 0:53:36.120
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but just actually being at that game in that

0:53:36.160 --> 0:53:37.200
<v Speaker 5>stadium should be pretty cool.

0:53:37.700 --> 0:53:38.160
<v Speaker 3>Oh, yeah.

0:53:38.360 --> 0:53:38.879
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, for sure.

0:53:38.920 --> 0:53:41.520
<v Speaker 4>And the State Fair, get there early, get a little

0:53:41.640 --> 0:53:42.280
<v Speaker 4>funnel cake.

0:53:43.520 --> 0:53:46.549
<v Speaker 11>You know, maybe go grab a, I don't know, I'm

0:53:46.570 --> 0:53:48.469
<v Speaker 11>sure they got pretzels, and I don't think they have

0:53:48.489 --> 0:53:51.350
<v Speaker 11>Sweet Martha's cookies, but we'll find some good grub and

0:53:51.370 --> 0:53:51.690
<v Speaker 11>do fun.

0:53:52.450 --> 0:53:55.350
<v Speaker 8>They don't have the Little Brown Jug in Texas, because

0:53:55.390 --> 0:53:57.370
<v Speaker 8>it's in Minneapolis.

0:53:57.670 --> 0:53:58.350
<v Speaker 3>How about that?

0:53:58.650 --> 0:54:02.230
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean, I gotta say, it was nerve-wracking, but.

0:54:04.250 --> 0:54:06.950
<v Speaker 11>You know, I think that everyone's seen PJ Fleck this

0:54:07.010 --> 0:54:09.810
<v Speaker 11>week because, you know, what you got in, you know,

0:54:09.830 --> 0:54:13.009
<v Speaker 11>you had the blood smearing that kind of brought some

0:54:13.070 --> 0:54:16.290
<v Speaker 11>national attention to the program with the win over a

0:54:16.390 --> 0:54:17.750
<v Speaker 11>ranked Washington team.

0:54:18.590 --> 0:54:20.730
<v Speaker 4>And then you had what happened last week with the

0:54:20.770 --> 0:54:21.320
<v Speaker 4>Brown Jug.

0:54:21.360 --> 0:54:21.779
<v Speaker 3>And so, I.

0:54:23.380 --> 0:54:25.239
<v Speaker 11>Mean, I think people showed up, first of all, for

0:54:25.280 --> 0:54:28.180
<v Speaker 11>college in noon Saturday, which was kind of fun. I

0:54:29.200 --> 0:54:31.200
<v Speaker 11>was a little bit nervous when people actually show up,

0:54:31.260 --> 0:54:33.580
<v Speaker 11>but people showed up, which that was fun to see.

0:54:34.450 --> 0:54:39.100
<v Speaker 11>And then the game itself, Minnesota's defense again showed up.

0:54:39.160 --> 0:54:43.860
<v Speaker 11>And you could say Bryce Underwood is maybe not playing

0:54:43.900 --> 0:54:45.360
<v Speaker 11>the way he should, but I think a lot of

0:54:45.380 --> 0:54:48.440
<v Speaker 11>that had to do with the Minnesota defense. I think

0:54:48.480 --> 0:54:51.470
<v Speaker 11>of Anthony Smith and TJ Bush and my guy from

0:54:51.489 --> 0:54:52.930
<v Speaker 11>North Dakota, Raleigh Sunram.

0:54:52.950 --> 0:54:54.910
<v Speaker 4>A ton of pressure on him.

0:54:54.930 --> 0:55:00.469
<v Speaker 11>And then great coverage again. So this defense that kind

0:55:00.510 --> 0:55:03.730
<v Speaker 11>of laid an egg against Mississippi State, has had such

0:55:03.770 --> 0:55:06.710
<v Speaker 11>an improvement. And so that is really the heartbeat of

0:55:06.750 --> 0:55:10.930
<v Speaker 11>this team right now. And guys, I've got the crazy stat, guys.

0:55:11.550 --> 0:55:16.270
<v Speaker 11>In the third quarter, Michigan had the ball for 47 seconds.

0:55:17.270 --> 0:55:17.509
<v Speaker 3>Right?

0:55:17.530 --> 0:55:21.610
<v Speaker 4>So just dominated the time of possession. Three big turnovers.

0:55:21.670 --> 0:55:23.790
<v Speaker 4>The muff punt. They come back.

0:55:23.830 --> 0:55:26.290
<v Speaker 11>They throw the interception on the sideline. Toe tap by

0:55:26.370 --> 0:55:29.490
<v Speaker 11>Aiden West. The next series under pressure.

0:55:30.090 --> 0:55:35.830
<v Speaker 4>Another kind of— another interception. So when that game— when I think.

0:55:35.730 --> 0:55:38.690
<v Speaker 11>A lot of Gopher fans, maybe including myself, thought that

0:55:38.710 --> 0:55:40.530
<v Speaker 11>thing could be shifting the other way with that pick

0:55:40.590 --> 0:55:45.360
<v Speaker 11>six by Michigan, Minnesota came out and absolutely dominated the

0:55:45.400 --> 0:55:45.879
<v Speaker 11>second half.

0:55:47.060 --> 0:55:50.820
<v Speaker 5>By the way, Michigan beat Oklahoma in like week one

0:55:50.980 --> 0:55:53.620
<v Speaker 5>of the season, didn't they? Yeah.

0:55:53.930 --> 0:55:58.310
<v Speaker 14>Hey, Fargo, are you— Are you surprised at all that

0:55:58.330 --> 0:56:01.989
<v Speaker 14>the defense is outshining the offense at this point when

0:56:02.030 --> 0:56:05.969
<v Speaker 14>we supposedly have a potential first-round quarterback?

0:56:08.290 --> 0:56:11.150
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. We were texting during the game last week, a

0:56:11.170 --> 0:56:12.170
<v Speaker 4>bunch of us.

0:56:13.170 --> 0:56:15.320
<v Speaker 11>I think what teams have figured out with the offense

0:56:15.780 --> 0:56:19.220
<v Speaker 11>is we're not going to sit back and let Drake

0:56:19.239 --> 0:56:20.080
<v Speaker 11>Lindsey beat us.

0:56:20.160 --> 0:56:21.120
<v Speaker 4>We're going to go after him.

0:56:21.160 --> 0:56:25.300
<v Speaker 11>And if you look at Drake Lindsey's statistics against the Blitz,

0:56:25.380 --> 0:56:28.080
<v Speaker 11>I think he's, he drops down to like 40%. So

0:56:28.900 --> 0:56:31.420
<v Speaker 11>he's got to learn, you know, what's been nice with

0:56:31.480 --> 0:56:34.739
<v Speaker 11>his year of experience is just, he's got great confidence.

0:56:34.760 --> 0:56:38.540
<v Speaker 11>He's got great pocket, pocket presence when their bullets aren't

0:56:38.600 --> 0:56:42.340
<v Speaker 11>being fired and he gets good protection. It's the Blitz

0:56:42.460 --> 0:56:44.440
<v Speaker 11>or the lack of protection where, you know, you can

0:56:44.480 --> 0:56:47.620
<v Speaker 11>kind of see him double pumping the receiver and, and,

0:56:47.640 --> 0:56:50.790
<v Speaker 11>you know, he hasn't, he had the longest.

0:56:50.410 --> 0:56:53.350
<v Speaker 4>Streak in Gopher history of throws without an interception.

0:56:54.010 --> 0:56:55.810
<v Speaker 11>And then he threw that kind of a tough pick

0:56:55.850 --> 0:56:59.430
<v Speaker 11>last week at Washington, a couple last week against Michigan.

0:56:59.489 --> 0:57:04.870
<v Speaker 11>So I think it's surprising, Ben. I think Drake's going

0:57:04.890 --> 0:57:06.549
<v Speaker 11>to get it figured out. I think some of it's

0:57:06.630 --> 0:57:10.650
<v Speaker 11>understanding the play calls in blitz situations, making sure you

0:57:10.670 --> 0:57:15.169
<v Speaker 11>get that ball out quickly. But one thing I have noticed, man,

0:57:15.190 --> 0:57:18.700
<v Speaker 11>the kids spend so much time at the line of scrimmage,

0:57:18.820 --> 0:57:20.910
<v Speaker 11>getting the offense into the right play.

0:57:20.930 --> 0:57:22.570
<v Speaker 4>It doesn't have to be a pass. It can be

0:57:22.610 --> 0:57:22.930
<v Speaker 4>a run.

0:57:22.970 --> 0:57:26.689
<v Speaker 11>So I think you've got to build from that. But defensively,

0:57:26.710 --> 0:57:28.330
<v Speaker 11>this is a team that we thought would have.

0:57:28.270 --> 0:57:33.390
<v Speaker 4>A tough time in the interior, especially with really unproven

0:57:33.410 --> 0:57:35.960
<v Speaker 4>defensive tackles, and those kids have developed quickly. So it's

0:57:35.980 --> 0:57:37.060
<v Speaker 4>been a fun surprise to see.

0:57:38.420 --> 0:57:40.000
<v Speaker 3>What does Purdue do good?

0:57:42.140 --> 0:57:47.630
<v Speaker 4>Meat sauce, it's crazy. Purdue snapped a 19- game losing

0:57:47.690 --> 0:57:48.750
<v Speaker 4>streak in the conference.

0:57:49.750 --> 0:57:55.570
<v Speaker 11>And I know if you go back seven weeks ago, Tommy.

0:57:53.930 --> 0:57:56.750
<v Speaker 4>And I said this is the game that scared me.

0:57:58.200 --> 0:58:01.500
<v Speaker 11>And so they're a good team.

0:58:02.120 --> 0:58:03.280
<v Speaker 4>They're a good team.

0:58:03.900 --> 0:58:08.280
<v Speaker 11>It's a team that throws the football very, very well.

0:58:09.700 --> 0:58:10.470
<v Speaker 3>Minnesota do bad?

0:58:15.480 --> 0:58:16.980
<v Speaker 4>That wasn't a great question.

0:58:17.000 --> 0:58:18.580
<v Speaker 5>Oh, I'm sorry.

0:58:18.600 --> 0:58:21.660
<v Speaker 9>Nobody said anything, so I just spoke.

0:58:22.720 --> 0:58:23.510
<v Speaker 3>Oh, man.

0:58:23.530 --> 0:58:26.730
<v Speaker 5>When you said that, I looked at Corey.

0:58:26.850 --> 0:58:29.930
<v Speaker 14>It took Corey a second to recognize what he said.

0:58:29.950 --> 0:58:32.070
<v Speaker 8>I was like half paying attention, and I'm like, did

0:58:32.090 --> 0:58:33.250
<v Speaker 8>he just say what I think he said?

0:58:33.270 --> 0:58:34.890
<v Speaker 5>What does Prune do well?

0:58:35.740 --> 0:58:38.290
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they do lots of things good and well.

0:58:38.410 --> 0:58:41.850
<v Speaker 5>Good question, Frankenstein. It's a good question.

0:58:41.950 --> 0:58:44.970
<v Speaker 8>I like the Frankenberry reference from earlier.

0:58:45.010 --> 0:58:46.370
<v Speaker 3>Somebody buy him some cereal.

0:58:46.630 --> 0:58:48.840
<v Speaker 14>That was like the church giggles. I was trying not

0:58:48.860 --> 0:58:49.360
<v Speaker 14>to step on you.

0:58:49.380 --> 0:58:50.820
<v Speaker 3>I had to turn my mic off.

0:58:50.880 --> 0:58:53.340
<v Speaker 9>I looked to my left and the two guys in

0:58:53.360 --> 0:58:55.740
<v Speaker 9>that room were both trying not to laugh either.

0:58:56.380 --> 0:58:59.580
<v Speaker 4>But it's Purdue Dogods.

0:59:01.220 --> 0:59:07.010
<v Speaker 3>Like Brian Regan. What does the football team do well

0:59:07.070 --> 0:59:08.050
<v Speaker 3>on the football field?

0:59:08.730 --> 0:59:09.650
<v Speaker 4>Do they got a gun?

0:59:10.310 --> 0:59:10.550
<v Speaker 10>Words.

0:59:10.570 --> 0:59:11.050
<v Speaker 3>That'll help.

0:59:11.070 --> 0:59:14.050
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you kind of built it out. I appreciate that.

0:59:14.090 --> 0:59:15.110
<v Speaker 4>You really extended it.

0:59:15.250 --> 0:59:18.760
<v Speaker 9>What makes Purdue a scary team to play after those

0:59:18.780 --> 0:59:19.720
<v Speaker 9>two big victories?

0:59:19.740 --> 0:59:20.360
<v Speaker 5>Okay, we got.

0:59:20.240 --> 0:59:23.300
<v Speaker 3>Another good question. Now I see what you're asking. I

0:59:23.440 --> 0:59:24.600
<v Speaker 3>got it. That makes sense.

0:59:24.840 --> 0:59:28.640
<v Speaker 4>Well, they have a quarterback. who can sling it. Actually,

0:59:29.320 --> 0:59:31.140
<v Speaker 4>there's like three quarterbacks.

0:59:30.740 --> 0:59:36.440
<v Speaker 11>In the country, the Mensah quarterback from Miami, the San

0:59:36.460 --> 0:59:39.420
<v Speaker 11>from Ohio State. And this quarterback, Ryan Brown, is in

0:59:39.440 --> 0:59:40.200
<v Speaker 11>that conversation.

0:59:40.240 --> 0:59:43.160
<v Speaker 4>And people can say, well, they're Purdue, they haven't played anyone.

0:59:43.180 --> 0:59:44.900
<v Speaker 11>Well, they played a really good Wake Forest team, a

0:59:45.520 --> 0:59:47.900
<v Speaker 11>really good UCLA team, and they actually moved the ball

0:59:47.920 --> 0:59:49.620
<v Speaker 11>against the Notre Dame team. They just couldn't put up

0:59:49.660 --> 0:59:52.860
<v Speaker 11>the points. And so he's a quarterback that can.

0:59:52.780 --> 0:59:53.180
<v Speaker 3>Throw the ball.

0:59:53.220 --> 0:59:55.730
<v Speaker 11>And he will beat you if you Can't find a

0:59:55.750 --> 1:00:00.550
<v Speaker 11>way to eliminate the explosive plays. They run the football fair,

1:00:01.130 --> 1:00:03.800
<v Speaker 11>but they're a team that will protect the quarterback.

1:00:04.100 --> 1:00:05.360
<v Speaker 4>He doesn't throw interceptions.

1:00:05.960 --> 1:00:06.620
<v Speaker 5>So it's tricky.

1:00:07.160 --> 1:00:08.800
<v Speaker 4>You want to stay back and keep the ball in

1:00:08.840 --> 1:00:10.910
<v Speaker 4>front of you and eliminate the explosive plays.

1:00:10.930 --> 1:00:12.610
<v Speaker 11>But I feel like if you don't attack him some,

1:00:12.630 --> 1:00:13.750
<v Speaker 11>you're going.

1:00:13.670 --> 1:00:15.270
<v Speaker 4>To let him kind of pick you apart. So I

1:00:15.310 --> 1:00:16.150
<v Speaker 4>think it's a tough game.

1:00:16.750 --> 1:00:19.490
<v Speaker 11>It's a much more difficult game plan than others would

1:00:19.530 --> 1:00:24.300
<v Speaker 11>think because you think Purdue, a 19-game losing streak that

1:00:24.340 --> 1:00:27.800
<v Speaker 11>they just snapped. It's a game that they have historically

1:00:27.880 --> 1:00:33.140
<v Speaker 11>played Minnesota well, especially at Ross-Ade Stadium. So it scares

1:00:33.180 --> 1:00:35.100
<v Speaker 11>me because I think everyone's saying it's a trap game.

1:00:35.180 --> 1:00:37.260
<v Speaker 11>The team wants to get to the bye week.

1:00:37.890 --> 1:00:42.230
<v Speaker 4>But I think more than anything, they seem to have

1:00:42.290 --> 1:00:44.430
<v Speaker 4>guys that are focused on what's right in front of them.

1:00:44.450 --> 1:00:48.220
<v Speaker 4>And I don't think This group of guys with Joey Gerlach,

1:00:48.440 --> 1:00:52.980
<v Speaker 4>Maverick Baranowski at linebacker, Anthony Smith, and even Drake Lindsey.

1:00:53.460 --> 1:00:55.460
<v Speaker 11>I think they have the nucleus of like, okay, we're

1:00:55.500 --> 1:00:59.100
<v Speaker 11>not going to go to West Lafayette and not stack

1:00:59.160 --> 1:01:02.050
<v Speaker 11>another to win here. It's too good an opportunity to

1:01:02.090 --> 1:01:03.850
<v Speaker 11>have a fast start in the Big Ten.

1:01:04.570 --> 1:01:06.210
<v Speaker 4>I expect a good start. I think it's going to

1:01:06.230 --> 1:01:07.450
<v Speaker 4>be a shootout.

1:01:08.230 --> 1:01:09.910
<v Speaker 11>I think we're going to give up some points because

1:01:09.950 --> 1:01:11.510
<v Speaker 11>Purdue scores on pretty much everybody.

1:01:11.730 --> 1:01:15.110
<v Speaker 4>I'm going to say Minnesota covers a minus 2.5 spread

1:01:16.950 --> 1:01:19.370
<v Speaker 4>and wins 34-27 in a bit of a shootout in

1:01:19.410 --> 1:01:20.330
<v Speaker 4>West Lafayette.

1:01:20.550 --> 1:01:22.830
<v Speaker 5>Okay, all right, here we go. Okay, okay.

1:01:22.870 --> 1:01:24.090
<v Speaker 4>Greasy.

1:01:24.610 --> 1:01:27.290
<v Speaker 5>That would be another big win, man. I heard Don

1:01:27.310 --> 1:01:31.440
<v Speaker 5>Brayer yesterday. I forget who he said, who he quoted.

1:01:33.040 --> 1:01:35.900
<v Speaker 3>You're thinking of the old coach of Ohio State in Florida.

1:01:36.680 --> 1:01:37.360
<v Speaker 3>Urban Meyer.

1:01:37.440 --> 1:01:39.340
<v Speaker 5>Urban Meyer said this was the biggest two weeks in

1:01:39.360 --> 1:01:41.700
<v Speaker 5>the history of Golden Gopher football, the last two wins.

1:01:41.940 --> 1:01:44.390
<v Speaker 11>Well, yeah, I think he said in the modern day,

1:01:44.430 --> 1:01:46.790
<v Speaker 11>which is kind of sad, but guys, it's the first time.

1:01:47.430 --> 1:01:50.010
<v Speaker 4>So it's the first time since 77 you win the

1:01:50.030 --> 1:01:55.130
<v Speaker 4>Brown Jug. And it's the first time since 1968 that

1:01:55.230 --> 1:01:59.720
<v Speaker 4>Minnesota stacked up consecutive victories week to week versus top

1:01:59.720 --> 1:02:04.360
<v Speaker 4>25 teams in the country. Washington was ranked 24 and

1:02:04.400 --> 1:02:05.100
<v Speaker 4>Michigan was ranked 23.

1:02:05.080 --> 1:02:07.720
<v Speaker 3>So, It's been a while.

1:02:07.960 --> 1:02:09.500
<v Speaker 5>And I'm going to ask you guys the same question

1:02:09.520 --> 1:02:11.700
<v Speaker 5>I asked Daryl when we had him on, which was,

1:02:11.800 --> 1:02:12.400
<v Speaker 5>was that yesterday?

1:02:12.720 --> 1:02:13.080
<v Speaker 10>Yes, sir.

1:02:13.120 --> 1:02:13.600
<v Speaker 5>Time flies.

1:02:13.740 --> 1:02:14.060
<v Speaker 3>Yes, sir.

1:02:14.680 --> 1:02:17.770
<v Speaker 5>And Ben, please, you weigh in too. So let me

1:02:17.830 --> 1:02:21.390
<v Speaker 5>ask it better, maybe. So PJ's been with the squad

1:02:21.410 --> 1:02:24.690
<v Speaker 5>now for 10 years. And anytime you see a major

1:02:24.730 --> 1:02:26.919
<v Speaker 5>turnaround for a college football team, it's almost always because

1:02:26.940 --> 1:02:28.760
<v Speaker 5>a new coach comes in, brings in a new regime.

1:02:29.060 --> 1:02:31.800
<v Speaker 5>And then they, you know, Wisconsin, Indiana, blah, blah, blah,

1:02:32.060 --> 1:02:35.190
<v Speaker 5>on and on. Has there ever been a coach who

1:02:35.330 --> 1:02:37.700
<v Speaker 5>had been somewhere for 10 years and then it finally

1:02:37.740 --> 1:02:40.900
<v Speaker 5>turned around?

1:02:43.410 --> 1:02:46.270
<v Speaker 4>It's more difficult because, first of all, I don't think

1:02:46.330 --> 1:02:47.290
<v Speaker 4>coaches make it that long.

1:02:47.650 --> 1:02:47.890
<v Speaker 3>Right.

1:02:48.970 --> 1:02:49.230
<v Speaker 2>True.

1:02:49.330 --> 1:02:50.870
<v Speaker 5>That's a great point. And also I know it's a

1:02:50.890 --> 1:02:54.110
<v Speaker 5>different landscape because of the NIL. So everything is different.

1:02:54.130 --> 1:02:56.300
<v Speaker 5>The books are different now, but it just, it does

1:02:56.360 --> 1:03:01.110
<v Speaker 5>seem like new blood is what breeds a different culture,

1:03:01.200 --> 1:03:02.880
<v Speaker 5>if you know what I mean. And if MJ is

1:03:02.920 --> 1:03:05.240
<v Speaker 5>able to breed a different culture and maybe that's a

1:03:05.260 --> 1:03:06.520
<v Speaker 5>poor way to say it, but you get my point.

1:03:06.620 --> 1:03:08.720
<v Speaker 5>I don't know that it happens very often, if ever.

1:03:09.960 --> 1:03:10.160
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

1:03:10.360 --> 1:03:12.680
<v Speaker 4>I think it's difficult. I think it's difficult to happen.

1:03:12.720 --> 1:03:15.660
<v Speaker 11>I think the, what's a little bit different here is,

1:03:16.590 --> 1:03:19.970
<v Speaker 11>And I know he says he's a development program, and

1:03:20.180 --> 1:03:23.500
<v Speaker 11>it is a development program, but he also sprinkles in

1:03:23.580 --> 1:03:26.320
<v Speaker 11>enough of the portal this year where you're seeing some

1:03:26.380 --> 1:03:27.360
<v Speaker 11>impact players.

1:03:27.400 --> 1:03:27.980
<v Speaker 4>The T.J.

1:03:28.020 --> 1:03:30.660
<v Speaker 11>Bush kid with two sacks a week ago, he's a

1:03:30.700 --> 1:03:34.560
<v Speaker 11>transfer from California. The receiver that everyone likes, number 13,

1:03:34.540 --> 1:03:37.560
<v Speaker 11>who I think is their most explosive player, he's a

1:03:37.600 --> 1:03:42.900
<v Speaker 11>transfer kid from Cincinnati. The kid that had the toe-tap interception,

1:03:42.920 --> 1:03:45.830
<v Speaker 11>Aiden West, He's a transfer from Michigan State. So I

1:03:45.890 --> 1:03:48.870
<v Speaker 11>think hockey, the difference is if you had to just

1:03:48.970 --> 1:03:52.250
<v Speaker 11>do that like 20 years ago with plugging and playing

1:03:52.430 --> 1:03:55.060
<v Speaker 11>through the high school recruiting, I don't think that'd be

1:03:55.100 --> 1:03:57.720
<v Speaker 11>difficult to do. I think right now you can have

1:03:57.760 --> 1:04:00.680
<v Speaker 11>a bit of a surge of talent by going out

1:04:00.740 --> 1:04:03.920
<v Speaker 11>and evaluating the portal and getting the right kids.

1:04:04.400 --> 1:04:05.140
<v Speaker 4>But it's pretty rare.

1:04:05.160 --> 1:04:08.189
<v Speaker 11>I mean, I don't think we've arrived yet, but there's

1:04:08.210 --> 1:04:09.090
<v Speaker 11>definitely some excitement.

1:04:10.240 --> 1:04:11.580
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I can't.

1:04:11.700 --> 1:04:14.240
<v Speaker 14>I mean, when Jess was talking, I don't know any

1:04:14.300 --> 1:04:17.030
<v Speaker 14>program off the top of my head that had a

1:04:17.070 --> 1:04:20.790
<v Speaker 14>coach that was around for, let's say, around a decade,

1:04:20.830 --> 1:04:23.410
<v Speaker 14>was fired, and then the next coach immediately comes in

1:04:23.450 --> 1:04:25.910
<v Speaker 14>and finds the success that he was always hunting for.

1:04:25.930 --> 1:04:27.590
<v Speaker 3>It is rare.

1:04:27.790 --> 1:04:30.729
<v Speaker 14>I mean, most guys don't make it more than five

1:04:30.770 --> 1:04:33.650
<v Speaker 14>or six years when it's just become stagnant. They're like, yep,

1:04:33.770 --> 1:04:35.450
<v Speaker 14>this is just not the direction we're going. We're going

1:04:35.470 --> 1:04:38.090
<v Speaker 14>to go with a different guy. So it's a hard

1:04:38.150 --> 1:04:41.790
<v Speaker 14>qualifier to think about. I mean, he's done a great job.

1:04:41.810 --> 1:04:42.470
<v Speaker 3>He really has, yeah.

1:04:42.510 --> 1:04:45.790
<v Speaker 14>But, you know, I think the Indiana thing obviously has

1:04:45.810 --> 1:04:50.190
<v Speaker 14>like really accelerated everybody's across the country, not just P.J.

1:04:50.210 --> 1:04:50.550
<v Speaker 3>Fleck.

1:04:50.630 --> 1:04:52.810
<v Speaker 5>Well, let me ask the question differently then, and maybe

1:04:52.830 --> 1:04:55.770
<v Speaker 5>this will make it easier. Does P.J. Fleck do good?

1:04:55.790 --> 1:04:58.180
<v Speaker 3>I didn't say it like that.

1:05:02.120 --> 1:05:04.060
<v Speaker 5>I'm sorry. I was trying to bring comedy.

1:05:06.040 --> 1:05:06.410
<v Speaker 3>I get it.

1:05:06.480 --> 1:05:08.140
<v Speaker 5>It's so sad. I made him sad.

1:05:11.330 --> 1:05:13.850
<v Speaker 11>I think PJ Fleck is having a lot of, I

1:05:13.870 --> 1:05:17.820
<v Speaker 11>think he's excited. I think PJ Fleck was freaking out

1:05:17.900 --> 1:05:18.880
<v Speaker 11>after Mississippi State.

1:05:18.960 --> 1:05:19.160
<v Speaker 10>Yeah.

1:05:19.760 --> 1:05:22.860
<v Speaker 4>And to kind of, I don't know what, I heard

1:05:22.880 --> 1:05:25.120
<v Speaker 4>it was a really, really rough Sunday practice.

1:05:25.680 --> 1:05:29.830
<v Speaker 11>And so when you're seeing this thing potentially collapse in

1:05:29.850 --> 1:05:33.070
<v Speaker 11>front of you and you rally that team to get

1:05:33.190 --> 1:05:36.750
<v Speaker 11>their stuff together, it sure seems.

1:05:36.590 --> 1:05:37.550
<v Speaker 4>To be moving in the right direction.

1:05:37.570 --> 1:05:37.650
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1:05:39.380 --> 1:05:42.340
<v Speaker 14>You know it's not moving in the right direction. My

1:05:42.400 --> 1:05:47.080
<v Speaker 14>bet with you. I lost last week. Congratulations. So please

1:05:47.120 --> 1:05:49.260
<v Speaker 14>tell everybody our weekly bet this week.

1:05:50.340 --> 1:05:53.360
<v Speaker 4>Guys, this game might not happen. I don't know what's

1:05:53.380 --> 1:05:53.900
<v Speaker 4>going to happen.

1:05:54.000 --> 1:05:57.580
<v Speaker 11>The weather forecast is not looking good for Alabama. So

1:05:57.660 --> 1:06:01.980
<v Speaker 11>Georgia is at Alabama. Georgia number two, Alabama number six.

1:06:02.060 --> 1:06:06.640
<v Speaker 11>Alabama minus one and a half. Our country's president will

1:06:06.680 --> 1:06:10.630
<v Speaker 11>be attending the game. And Ben is taking Alabama minus

1:06:10.770 --> 1:06:12.610
<v Speaker 11>one and a half. I have Georgia plus one and

1:06:12.640 --> 1:06:14.780
<v Speaker 11>a half. And the reason why Ben is doing that

1:06:14.840 --> 1:06:20.300
<v Speaker 11>is Kirby Smart has been 120 and 14 versus every

1:06:20.340 --> 1:06:24.330
<v Speaker 11>team in college football with the exception of Alabama.

1:06:25.150 --> 1:06:28.070
<v Speaker 4>Alabama, he's two and seven. He cannot get over the hump.

1:06:28.130 --> 1:06:28.270
<v Speaker 5>Oof.

1:06:28.800 --> 1:06:30.200
<v Speaker 11>I think this is the best team in the country.

1:06:30.220 --> 1:06:31.640
<v Speaker 11>I think Georgia's the best team in the country. I

1:06:31.660 --> 1:06:32.910
<v Speaker 11>think it's not even really close.

1:06:33.240 --> 1:06:33.610
<v Speaker 2>Really?

1:06:33.650 --> 1:06:34.189
<v Speaker 4>They have a great.

1:06:34.250 --> 1:06:36.669
<v Speaker 11>They have a Gunter Stockton who's been quarterback for like

1:06:36.670 --> 1:06:36.930
<v Speaker 11>45 years.

1:06:36.950 --> 1:06:37.350
<v Speaker 5>Gunter Stockton?

1:06:37.430 --> 1:06:40.630
<v Speaker 4>They have a great running game. I'm taking the Bulldogs.

1:06:40.690 --> 1:06:41.480
<v Speaker 4>I feel great about it.

1:06:41.640 --> 1:06:43.280
<v Speaker 3>Wow. Boy, I tell you, I mean.

1:06:44.600 --> 1:06:46.280
<v Speaker 14>Is it Keelan? Is that how you say his first name?

1:06:46.320 --> 1:06:46.880
<v Speaker 3>Keelan Russell?

1:06:46.960 --> 1:06:49.100
<v Speaker 4>Keelan Russell. That guy throws a good ball, doesn't he?

1:06:49.400 --> 1:06:52.370
<v Speaker 14>God, he's a good player for Alabama. Alabama's got another

1:06:52.390 --> 1:06:56.250
<v Speaker 14>really good quarterback. No, you're right. With the tropical storm

1:06:56.290 --> 1:06:57.550
<v Speaker 14>or whatever you want to call it that's going to

1:06:57.590 --> 1:07:01.370
<v Speaker 14>hit most of Alabama, and it's going to hit basically

1:07:01.610 --> 1:07:04.939
<v Speaker 14>late Friday night into Saturday, I don't know if they're.

1:07:04.590 --> 1:07:07.580
<v Speaker 4>Going to play this game. Don't you have to make

1:07:07.620 --> 1:07:09.900
<v Speaker 4>that call by Friday and get that game moved somewhere?

1:07:10.420 --> 1:07:10.740
<v Speaker 4>Have to.

1:07:11.700 --> 1:07:12.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. You would think.

1:07:12.720 --> 1:07:15.180
<v Speaker 4>Go to Nashville? I don't know where they go.

1:07:15.300 --> 1:07:16.340
<v Speaker 5>Maybe wait until Monday.

1:07:16.680 --> 1:07:16.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1:07:17.120 --> 1:07:17.980
<v Speaker 14>Play the game on Sunday.

1:07:18.300 --> 1:07:20.050
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Move it to Vegas.

1:07:20.410 --> 1:07:20.660
<v Speaker 10>Yeah.

1:07:20.870 --> 1:07:21.090
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1:07:21.310 --> 1:07:22.150
<v Speaker 5>I guess you could do that.

1:07:22.170 --> 1:07:23.950
<v Speaker 3>Thanks, Flash.

1:07:24.670 --> 1:07:25.510
