Speaker 1: Hey Cory, Yes, sir, hold.
Speaker 3: I want to say you.
Speaker 4: Have the odds changed for your beloved Minnesota Vikings since
Speaker 4: they named a starting quarterback.
Speaker 3: My guess is no, I'm just saying that it should
Speaker 3: ever shouldn't have I'm just wondering, you know.
Speaker 5: No, My guess is no, because again, this is this
Speaker 5: was essentially a fore gun conclusion, right JJ would have
Speaker 5: been a massive upset. So I think all the sports
Speaker 5: betters that know what they're doing, I think they knew
Speaker 5: this was the the path.
Speaker 1: But let me look it up quickly.
Speaker 5: But my guess is it's I don't know if it's changed,
Speaker 5: but my guess is it's still right around fifty to one.
Speaker 1: That's what it was, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think any was eight and a half.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Minnesota Viking drinking kinking. Just stay out of
Speaker 1: their way.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this can't be right, can I can't imagine there
Speaker 4: he is wholave he's in here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's hanging out.
Speaker 3: I'll good to see your buddy.
Speaker 1: You're banging. Life is going over under still eight and
Speaker 1: a half.
Speaker 6: All the.
Speaker 5: Yep, they're still fifty to one to win the Super
Speaker 5: Bowl and they are still eight and a half for
Speaker 5: the overunder nothing Draft Kings. So no, again, this is
Speaker 5: if this was If if this was Wentce or Brosema
Speaker 5: or JJ, I think the line would have moved.
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably, but this was the obvious choice. All right,
Speaker 1: should we do the news?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Man, I think yeah, it's time to do the news.
Speaker 3: Here it is month like.
Speaker 7: This is k news Chris Hockey presented by the St.
Speaker 3: Paul St.
Speaker 4: Paul Saints, who, by the way, played at the Field
Speaker 4: of Dreams last night.
Speaker 1: How that go? Did they win? Did they lose? Was
Speaker 1: it fun?
Speaker 8: You know what?
Speaker 4: I'm sure that a fun time was had by all.
Speaker 4: I haven't talked to Jess Frasper about it today, but
Speaker 4: I do believe he was there.
Speaker 3: Looks like Saints gave up.
Speaker 4: Four homers, fell six to three to the Cubs. Minor
Speaker 4: League in the Field of Dreams game. But that's okay
Speaker 4: a twenty five they'll be back here at shs Field,
Speaker 4: a couple of weeks on the road, and then they'll
Speaker 4: be back.
Speaker 3: Get your tickets at Saints Baseball dot com.
Speaker 5: You can ask an obvious concessions question. Don't doesn't the Field
Speaker 5: of Dreams game have to have like the best roasted
Speaker 5: corn on the planet.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, that sounds just a couple.
Speaker 5: Of weeks away from the roasted corn at the State
Speaker 5: Fair sauce.
Speaker 1: Two weeks from tomorrow.
Speaker 5: Man Parker, if we asked you, are you pro State
Speaker 5: Fair or anti State Fair?
Speaker 1: I grew up not really going too much, So lucky
Speaker 1: you're in the middle. In the middle.
Speaker 8: Actually, it wasn't really until I would hang out with
Speaker 8: you guys there that I came back. Unfortunately will not
Speaker 8: be around this year as I will be on honeymoon.
Speaker 7: So yeah, it's like Rosie having knee surgery right before
Speaker 7: the fair.
Speaker 5: You just happen to have a honeymoon to get you
Speaker 5: out of the safe fair.
Speaker 7: You had knee surgery.
Speaker 1: What do I believe he's on the men though? I
Speaker 1: think it's going the right way.
Speaker 3: Have you guys seen any video of the Field of Dreams,
Speaker 3: what the field looks like.
Speaker 1: I watched the a little bit of the Saints.
Speaker 3: I'm looking at it right now.
Speaker 1: So cool.
Speaker 4: It's bigger than I ever would have thought it was.
Speaker 4: But I do love that there is corn right up.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, they'll play Ray. That game tomorrow is on Netflix.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Nice Netflix, the home of Brooklyn nine nine and Seinfeld
Speaker 7: and Beavis and butt Head and Stranger things and stuff.
Speaker 1: But still in baseball and baseball, I guess, like the
Speaker 1: Home Run Derby and the Field of Dreams.
Speaker 3: Game Baseball, Ray Baseball.
Speaker 1: Great film they never saw I probably should have. Oh
Speaker 1: it's so good.
Speaker 3: I can't believe you've never seen it.
Speaker 1: And I've never seen Hoosiers.
Speaker 5: There a lot of those, like eighties classic eighties sports movies.
Speaker 1: I was watching teen Wolf for the ninetieth time.
Speaker 3: That's a that's a sports film.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 5: By the way, I saw the funniest take on Teenwolf
Speaker 5: the other day on Instagram that I had never thought of.
Speaker 5: We always talk about how coach Bobby Finstock, famously, after
Speaker 5: he turns into.
Speaker 7: A were wolf, goes, let's play a little ball there, right.
Speaker 5: His immediate reaction is not shoot it, don't kill that,
Speaker 5: don't kill the whreof his immediate.
Speaker 7: Reaction is let's play a little ball, right, because it
Speaker 7: looks like.
Speaker 5: Scott Howard can spin the ball in his finger and
Speaker 5: he can dunk. And he's like, I'm a you know,
Speaker 5: a narcissistic, self centered coach.
Speaker 1: I want to win.
Speaker 6: I want to win.
Speaker 7: I watched this guy on Instagram say the coach for
Speaker 7: the opposing team needs to be fired.
Speaker 1: How does that guy, I'd never thought of it. How
Speaker 1: does that guy go, wait a minute, yeah, this game
Speaker 1: is over. I'm not playing against the werewolf. I'm not
Speaker 1: sending my kids out there.
Speaker 5: But he's like the fact that that guy doesn't raise
Speaker 5: his voice and say we're walking out, Yeah, that's a
Speaker 5: fireable offense. How do you let that game continue?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 5: Like if there was a kid that was ineligible because
Speaker 5: his grades weren't good enough, or you're like, hey, that
Speaker 5: kid doesn't go to that school. Yeah, we're not playing
Speaker 5: this game that that kid can't play. This opposing coach
Speaker 5: lets a freak werewolf who can dunk, just dominate his
Speaker 5: teammate and doesn't say a word.
Speaker 1: You know, we fire that coach.
Speaker 4: We know because we've been watching the film, But that
Speaker 4: coach hasn't been watching this film with us, that where
Speaker 4: wolf might eat somebody.
Speaker 5: Exactly has no idea that it's a really nice guy
Speaker 5: just struggling to go through a transformation that is a
Speaker 5: horrifically scary event. And not one person runs for the exit,
Speaker 5: not one person in that small town. You know they're
Speaker 5: concealing him, Garyan. Not one of them shoots Scott through
Speaker 5: the chest.
Speaker 1: They just let him.
Speaker 5: Even Parker Fox, Harlem Globetrotter tricks and dunk the ball,
Speaker 5: and he scored.
Speaker 1: A thousand points that game.
Speaker 5: And the opposing coach said, as Rosie would say, nearly
Speaker 5: a whisper of wind, not one word out of that
Speaker 5: coach's mouth.
Speaker 3: And I'm gonna tell you what else. Even though the
Speaker 3: crowd's not big when that happens, if I were in
Speaker 3: that stands, I wouldn't be thinking there's a werewolf.
Speaker 4: I'd be thinking I should probably go to beat the crowd.
Speaker 4: I should probably leave.
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, because people get more than this. This place
Speaker 1: is gonna.
Speaker 3: Be packed, and I don't want to be stuck in traffic.
Speaker 4: I always feel that there is an itch inside me
Speaker 4: as soon as I get anywhere.
Speaker 3: Tell me it might be time to go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, we should back up.
Speaker 7: Wrong with we just got here?
Speaker 3: Just wrong with me? I know, I know you get married,
Speaker 3: abb but I gotta.
Speaker 1: Beat the traffic.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah?
Speaker 1: What is wrong with traffic? So much talk amongst yourself? Okay,
Speaker 1: which one is it?
Speaker 4: Is it?
Speaker 3: This one?
Speaker 1: I think it's this one?
Speaker 3: You want to forfeit the Yeah, what's wrong with that?
Speaker 7: No? No, my players have league scoring records of state.
Speaker 1: It wouldn't be fair to them. I just thought if
Speaker 1: we quit now, you could beat the five o'clock traffic.
Speaker 1: There's a lot to learn from losing. I will play.
Speaker 3: If it's that a big a deal to you, that's me,
Speaker 3: that's me.
Speaker 1: That's so good. So he wants to four fit before
Speaker 1: he has the wolf ones.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you've got to beat the five o'clock traffic. Jeez,
Speaker 3: got I feel that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I feel it.
Speaker 4: Get ready for the heavens put on a show as
Speaker 4: the pre sde meteor shower reaches its peak this week.
Speaker 4: Happens as the Earth passes through the trail of debris
Speaker 4: left behind by the swift tuttle comet, debris that burns
Speaker 4: up on hitting the atmosphere. The best time to watch
Speaker 4: will be overnight. Imagine that Wednesday into Thursday August.
Speaker 3: I went a moon offers darker skies.
Speaker 5: You know what's insane? So you ever's been around for
Speaker 5: like four point five billion years? Right, the moon crashed
Speaker 5: into us, Right, the ye meteor that killed the dinosaurs
Speaker 5: crash into us. But in general, because space is a
Speaker 5: whole lot of nothing. Isn't it nuts that we don't
Speaker 5: get hit hard more often? But there's just nothing. There's
Speaker 5: nothing to hit us. There's just so much nothingness. You
Speaker 5: know what I just realized, can't wait?
Speaker 3: Life is meanings.
Speaker 7: Today is the day Randy said, We're gonna lose gravity
Speaker 7: for seven seconds.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I wonder how that's gonna work out for Randy.
Speaker 1: He's supposed to come over today, so I hope.
Speaker 7: He will float away, probably, I hope not. I'd miss Randy.
Speaker 7: He had he's working text me over the weekend in
Speaker 7: the city. Was at one of his kids hockey bits
Speaker 7: and one of the parents looked down with seven seconds
Speaker 7: of no gravity and then just moved on.
Speaker 1: So what do you think would happen? We'd all die,
Speaker 1: but in what way?
Speaker 7: I mean, we'd all get crushed right by what the
Speaker 7: ceilings we just float away like if you went think
Speaker 7: about it so hand, there's no gravity, but the ceilings
Speaker 7: would rush us. Why would the ceilings be coming towards
Speaker 7: the earth? Think about it, though, that was a mistake,
Speaker 7: a panic. The answer here's the real answer. If we
Speaker 7: all right now went outside, we all stood there. First off,
Speaker 7: I'd probably not lift off the grounds.
Speaker 3: Yea, science isn't gonna get But.
Speaker 7: If for seven seconds we lifted up into the air
Speaker 7: like we had fizzy lifting drinks. The second that seven
Speaker 7: seconds was over, the crash down to the ground would
Speaker 7: kill most of us. You get pretty high in seven seconds, man, you.
Speaker 1: Can tell me. But yeah, daddy, think about it. Core, Yeah,
Speaker 1: cor thanks Maxwell.
Speaker 5: If Earth's gravity suddenly disappear for seven seconds, the results
Speaker 5: would be catastrophic. This according to chpt not Randy. Everything
Speaker 5: would become weightless immediately. People in cars, oceans, buildings, and
Speaker 5: the atmosphere would no longer be pulled towards Earth. Unless
Speaker 5: something was attacked to the ground, it would start moving
Speaker 5: in a straight line of whatever speed Earth was already
Speaker 5: carrying it at the atmosphere would also begin escaping. Air
Speaker 5: molecules would no longer be held to the planet would
Speaker 5: start expanding outward towards space. That's a problem. Yeah, So
Speaker 5: in just seven seconds, Earth wouldn't lose all of its atmosphere,
Speaker 5: but enough air near the surface would begin moving upward,
Speaker 5: creating violent winds and pressure changes. So the oceans would
Speaker 5: lift off the Earth's surface. The Earth would also stop
Speaker 5: orbiting the Sun. That's a huge problem.
Speaker 1: Sure, I don't buy it.
Speaker 5: And when gravity returned after seven seconds, everything that.
Speaker 1: Had risen would fall back.
Speaker 5: A person who had drifted upward could hit the ground
Speaker 5: at an extremely high speed. Buildings, trees, vehicles, water and
Speaker 5: debris would slam back down, producing devastations similar to countless
Speaker 5: simultaneous impacts. The returning oceans and atmosphere would generate enormous
Speaker 5: shock waves and flooding.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly what Saustus said.
Speaker 5: Thank you, maxel So could humanity survive chat GPT says
Speaker 5: probably not without enormous casualties?
Speaker 1: Shat GPT, Sure you mean co pilot.
Speaker 7: Look, I know you've missed the last two shows, but
Speaker 7: we've had Molly Ringwold and Calista Flockhart reporting, and trust me,
Speaker 7: if we can give up on the guaranteed human we can.
Speaker 1: Give up on the co pilot thing.
Speaker 7: Yeah, wow, what did I miss?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 7: Molly Ringwald and Calista Flockhart have both reported from Vikings
Speaker 7: training camp.
Speaker 9: Not those one the ones you're thinking of, though, different ones,
Speaker 9: no relation.
Speaker 1: Can I ask a questions? Was it like their birthday
Speaker 1: yesterday or the day before? Not sure?
Speaker 3: Nope, I just couldn't think of any other names.
Speaker 5: So is Randy gonna, you know, harness himself to the
Speaker 5: Earth's surface so he doesn't float away today?
Speaker 7: I mean I think so.
Speaker 1: And what time is it supposed to happen the seven
Speaker 1: seconds of no gravity?
Speaker 7: I don't know. He doesn't know exactly.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, he's got to be close to like a
Speaker 1: mailbox at all times. You can grab on, hold on
Speaker 1: to something. Yeah, hold on.
Speaker 7: For one more day, I think is what they were
Speaker 7: singing about. Yeah, what's said Manbyop? They're dumb? I mean,
Speaker 7: I'm not smart, and it's okay. It's okay to not
Speaker 7: be smart, true, Yeah.
Speaker 3: But you shouldn't like aimed for that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean you should try to think you know
Speaker 5: that seven seconds of gravitation?
Speaker 7: I mean I do think it's nonsense. It would be
Speaker 7: over everything would be gone.
Speaker 1: I think it.
Speaker 7: I think we would be kill if that was really
Speaker 7: a thing. Let's say that was actually going to happen today.
Speaker 7: I think we have enough scientists in the world that
Speaker 7: would have pre warned us months and months ago.
Speaker 5: Well, isn't that the I never saw the movie, But
Speaker 5: isn't that the plot of Don't Look Up? Isn't that
Speaker 5: the the Leo movie on Netflix where they're basically on
Speaker 5: TV saying like we're all gonna die and uh, nobody
Speaker 5: believes them at the point of the movie that it
Speaker 5: kind of sucks.
Speaker 1: I heard it wasn't great. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm depending on Carl and Princess Donut to get us
Speaker 3: to this thing. You heard what I said?
Speaker 1: Who's that like? You don't know?
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 4: California Senators Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla are calling on
Speaker 4: online trading platforms to stop offering betting markets connected with wildfires.
Speaker 1: Oh yikes, yikes.
Speaker 4: They are among nine centators who apparently had to do so,
Speaker 4: claiming it profits off of disaster and could create harmful
Speaker 4: incentives like motivating people.
Speaker 3: To start fires.
Speaker 6: Yeah, people, I'm.
Speaker 3: Calling for gravity to go ahead and get out of here.
Speaker 5: I love gambling. But again, this thing is a problem. Yeah,
Speaker 5: this is just there's there's too many bad.
Speaker 1: Pass that this prediction market stuff can take.
Speaker 7: I love it.
Speaker 1: I'm sure I.
Speaker 3: Know you do.
Speaker 4: It follows a report saying more than one point two
Speaker 4: million dollars in bets were placed during the twenty twenty
Speaker 4: five Palisades and Eating fires.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, yikes. Did you guys do the story
Speaker 1: on that hole in one.
Speaker 7: H No, but I read it. The guy that rigged
Speaker 7: the all that, yeah, got kicked out.
Speaker 1: Insane.
Speaker 5: Insane by the way, Hey, man, if there's something to
Speaker 5: be one, people will cheat.
Speaker 1: I ain't cheating, you ain't trying.
Speaker 4: The thing I just talked about, the Palisades and eating
Speaker 4: fires was nearly ten times more than what was bet
Speaker 4: on a recent San Francisco Giants game. So people are betting.
Speaker 4: They were betting more on these wildfires than they are
Speaker 4: on just sports.
Speaker 5: That's great, But we had Trump's teleprompter guy right that
Speaker 5: knew the speeches, was betting on prop bets based on speech,
Speaker 5: like there's just so much inside information or like you said, Chris,
Speaker 5: even more dangerous than how many words you could start
Speaker 5: a fire and win a giant bet I.
Speaker 9: Mean at one point there was about whether we were
Speaker 9: there would be a nuclear bomb involved in the Iran
Speaker 9: that that was on one of those predictions.
Speaker 3: How do you collect on that?
Speaker 7: I was right, Yeah, I'm alive.
Speaker 1: What over that guy? This is catastrophic for everyone button me.
Speaker 5: I would like to if you know, I don't want
Speaker 5: to immediately contradict everything I just said, But if Randy
Speaker 5: wants to bet me about the seven seconds of gravity,
Speaker 5: he can reach out to me. I'll give him any
Speaker 5: odds he wants. I think you said your house, Well, yeah,
Speaker 5: until nine, but then after that.
Speaker 7: I don't know how to get hold of him.
Speaker 1: Is at your house?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 1: At nine? I think somehow we live close?
Speaker 7: Yeah, we do.
Speaker 1: What time do you get home? Oh it depends what
Speaker 1: time were you told to get home today? Ten thirty? Sure,
Speaker 1: it's a good hour and a half to loiter around
Speaker 1: bad man.
Speaker 4: Speaking of loitering, we're going to go through one more

Speaker 4: go to Saucy.
Speaker 3: It's time for Fan five on the Power Trip.
Speaker 7: Rot you my.
Speaker 4: Friends at the Circa Casino Circa Casino dot com celebrate
Speaker 4: with us in Vegas. Why wouldn't you twenty five years?
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4: Cafe dot com slash, I don't know, probably Cowertrip or
Speaker 4: maybe Vegas or maybe Circa I don't know.
Speaker 7: Uh, we'll talk about it with Lieber in about ten minutes.
Speaker 7: But your Vikings announce that Kyler Murray will be their
Speaker 7: starting QB. He will play this Saturday in their first
Speaker 7: preseason game against the Giants at tent or excuse me,
Speaker 7: neon pregame at ten. You can hear all of that
Speaker 7: right here on the fan of a after some New York.
Speaker 10: Some dialogue in house, and just kind of daily you know,
Speaker 10: analyzing the overall of where we're at right now. We
Speaker 10: did name Kyler Murray our starting quarterback.
Speaker 5: So when did he say that Kyler will definitively play
Speaker 5: on Saturday? And did he say or hints how much
Speaker 5: he'll play? How do you know he's going to play
Speaker 5: on Saturday?
Speaker 7: I say that was announced because I saw yesterday Partrick
Speaker 7: Betts tweeted something that the line went from like four
Speaker 7: and a half to the Giants and then it went
Speaker 7: back to the Vikings being one and a half point
Speaker 7: favorites because Kyler is going to play.
Speaker 1: Interesting, Okay, that's what I saw.
Speaker 7: I would assume me'll play, right.
Speaker 3: That's what i'd heard too, But I don't remember now
Speaker 3: that you asked me that correct. I can't remember where
Speaker 3: I heard that.
Speaker 5: You know, it's crazy because if he was a he's
Speaker 5: twenty nine, he was an established twenty nine year old quarterback.
Speaker 7: He shouldn't be playing in the preseason, you know what
Speaker 7: I mean. Yeah, but it's a new offense, Yeah, new teammates.
Speaker 8: ESPN did announce that Kyler Murrays expected to play on
Speaker 8: Saturday's preseason game against the New York Giants.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so maybe he did say it in the pressure.
Speaker 7: I think he did, Yeah, because I mean, he'll play for.
Speaker 1: Series.
Speaker 7: I mean, I.
Speaker 4: Doubt I've been total see now, I'm not sure I'm
Speaker 4: remembering that he's that he was going to pay.
Speaker 3: For a half.
Speaker 1: That's insane. Yeah, that's way too much.
Speaker 7: Yeah, because then you got to the starting offensive line
Speaker 7: out there for a half.
Speaker 6: Dad that said it.
Speaker 3: I think Ben said it on Monday on this show.
Speaker 4: And I'm sorry Ben if I'm wrong about that, But
Speaker 4: I thought that he said on this show that he thought,
Speaker 4: and again things have changed since then, but I thought
Speaker 4: he said that he thought one would play one half
Speaker 4: and the other would play the second half, and he
Speaker 4: thought those would be the only two quarterbacks that will play.
Speaker 3: Could I have dreamt that?
Speaker 5: I think, like you said, that was before they announced
Speaker 5: he's the starter. That was if there was quotes so competition.
Speaker 7: I can't believe Kyler would play half of a preseason game. Yeah,
Speaker 7: I don't if you're the starting quarterback because at twenty
Speaker 7: nine years old.
Speaker 1: That's because you.
Speaker 4: Remember Corey I said, we gotta be careful because will
Speaker 4: the first offensive.
Speaker 1: Line be out there right?
Speaker 6: No way?
Speaker 4: And you know JJ, Justin Jefferson is not going to play. Nope,
Speaker 4: probably at all.
Speaker 1: Right, so that's you name him.
Speaker 5: So you can have a full month at camp to
Speaker 5: get number one reps and that's why.
Speaker 7: And he can get all the reps or ninety nine
Speaker 7: percent of the reps next week against the Ravens exactly.
Speaker 5: So if he does plan Saturday, and I don't disbelieve
Speaker 5: you guys, if he does play on Saturday, I still
Speaker 5: think it's going to be very short, right, maybe a
Speaker 5: couple of series, like half the first quarter and get
Speaker 5: the hell out.
Speaker 1: Of there before then that's enough.
Speaker 7: We do have a full slate of preseason games this
Speaker 7: weekend starting till tomorrow. That Packers will play, the Lions
Speaker 7: will play. It'll be great. Can't wait football. The NFL
Speaker 7: season starts twenty eight days from today with the Pats
Speaker 7: at the Seahawks on a Wednesday night opener because the
Speaker 7: Niners play Week one that Thursday in Australia.
Speaker 1: Nice and they play who do they play?
Speaker 11: Hawk?
Speaker 3: They play the Minnesota Primaries.
Speaker 5: Did anybody watch episode one of Hard Knocks with the
Speaker 5: Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 1: I have not.
Speaker 3: I've been watching QB one. I forgot about her.
Speaker 7: I just saw clips anything good because I didn't see it.
Speaker 1: It was just like the head clips.
Speaker 8: The head coach was mad at a d n for
Speaker 8: like bull rushing Sam Donald and then he kicked him
Speaker 8: out of the street.
Speaker 6: Whatever.
Speaker 1: That's the only clips that I really saw that's hard,
Speaker 1: not pissed.
Speaker 7: Hard Knock.
Speaker 3: You don't bull rush our quarterback.
Speaker 1: Get close to Sam Donald, don't touch here's went of
Speaker 1: a super Bowl?
Speaker 3: What are you doing?
Speaker 7: Be careful with the guy my sources, Koc said. Kyler
Speaker 7: is playing in the pre season game.
Speaker 1: Okay, they go still on in a how long?
Speaker 6: Though?
Speaker 1: Again, if it's more than a quarter, that's insane.
Speaker 8: Wouldn't be, especially like with the Ravensky game next week
Speaker 8: where he can't get hit.
Speaker 1: That's another well.
Speaker 3: And and we have joint practices next week.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, uh.
Speaker 7: The NBA will announce its full schedule for the regular season.
Speaker 7: Hogs Daddy tomorrow at two o'clock, let's go and your
Speaker 7: Wolves all open at the Heat and then they will
Speaker 7: host a Christmas Day game against the Thunder at seven o'clock.
Speaker 7: Have you seen people on social media laying out that
Speaker 7: sports Day Basketball great games all day? In basketball, you
Speaker 7: have a Packers Bears game, give another NFL game, and
Speaker 7: then I think you have Seattle and the Rams as
Speaker 7: the nightcap.
Speaker 1: And it's elite sports Day.
Speaker 8: With where we sit right now with nothing on sports

Speaker 4: my birthday.
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, Target Center got that right.
Speaker 3: I mean, I love it. They know I love it.

Speaker 4: they know.
Speaker 1: That I don't even do the basketball. The bast do
Speaker 1: it for me. Yeah, you deserve it for Paul for
Speaker 1: Paul turn Oh yeah me.
Speaker 7: That's the twenty seven and seven Links battle to the
Speaker 7: Portland Fire tonight at nine. Yeah, the Links are twelve
Speaker 7: and a half point favorites.
Speaker 8: They lost to the Sparks last week, and that was
Speaker 8: a big upset because they were.
Speaker 1: On a back to back.
Speaker 8: They played Chicago and then they came to Minnesota and
Speaker 8: they beat the Links. But Taylor and I were at
Speaker 8: the game the other night and Kaylen McBride hit ten
Speaker 8: threes and forty three points at a WNBA record. It
Speaker 8: was the craziest thing I'd ever seen. Like she would
Speaker 8: catch the ball and it was like that Klay Thompson
Speaker 8: game where he had thirty seven points in a quarter
Speaker 8: and she got him up fire and hit ten of them.
Speaker 8: And defensively, she was guarding Page Beckers, so she was
Speaker 8: kind of doing double duty and set that w A records.
Speaker 1: That was pretty sweet.
Speaker 7: The Minnesota Twins lost five too to the Orioles last night.
Speaker 7: The Twins are fifty nine and sixty two. Hold on,
Speaker 7: excuse me, same two teams today at twelve forties. Zebbie
Speaker 7: Matthews goes for your twins. They will play the Field
Speaker 7: of Dreams game against the Phillies tomorrow. Yeah yeah, man.
Speaker 1: Duh, that's really about all I got. Sports.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I covered it. You did it, yeah, man.
Speaker 3: Let me tell you college football.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they the Gophers, I think three weeks from tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're gonna have a squad.
Speaker 3: I agree.
Speaker 4: You know what, I'm looking forward to talking to Fargoing
Speaker 4: those guys about this because I feel like I've got
Speaker 4: incomplete information about your Golden Golfer football squad, Corse. Yeah,
Speaker 4: in terms of what I just I've been told that
Speaker 4: we have some really great players, but I don't know
Speaker 4: how great the team is.
Speaker 3: Do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 4: Are we top heavy? Are we going to have standouts
Speaker 4: who are being held back by the rest of the squad.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean if you want those if you want
Speaker 5: those questions answered objectively and fairly, then Tommy Yolsen and
Speaker 5: Justin Conzemius for the two to ask, who else could
Speaker 5: you ask? They'll definitely give you the straight you know, date.
Speaker 11: Well one of them will, so yeah, Cargo will. I
Speaker 11: think the amount of money either of them can, they
Speaker 11: should be good. They should have a good year. I mean,
Speaker 11: the Big ten is the Big ten.
Speaker 8: It's you're not going to be able to compete with
Speaker 8: the Michigan's, the Ohio States in Oregon, but they have
Speaker 8: a tough schedule too. So but Drake Lindsay is he's
Speaker 8: ready to take that take that next step.
Speaker 1: Let's hope.
Speaker 7: So they should win the first three games. I mean against.
Speaker 3: Tommy listen State at a joke.
Speaker 1: That I think Mississippi State this year is really.
Speaker 3: Are they joke this year?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: You know who plays tight end for them? No, I
Speaker 3: believe Hutch's son.
Speaker 7: Oh, I know, somebody's birthday. But then they go on
Speaker 7: the road to Washington. Then they miss in. You know,
Speaker 7: they got as Parker said, they got some tough games.
Speaker 3: It would be so cool to go to Washington to
Speaker 3: see a.
Speaker 7: Football Yeah, it would be I think Tommy is going
Speaker 7: to that game for the day. I think there's a
Speaker 7: flight that leaves and he can get there in time
Speaker 7: and then fly home all in the Sash.
Speaker 1: It's a tough schedule.
Speaker 8: At Indiana, that's a hard I mean yeah, at Penn State,
Speaker 8: Penn State that could be the whiteout game too. Yeah,
Speaker 8: three games left. Yeah, it's a tough schedule. And then
Speaker 8: you're at Wisconsin. What's you over under five and a
Speaker 8: half and you hammered the under. I mean they're gonna
Speaker 8: win the first three games, right.
Speaker 3: Do you want the under? Because I'll put one hundred
Speaker 3: dollars right now in.
Speaker 7: The open I already.
Speaker 3: Have we already do?
Speaker 1: I think you already? But then you must not believe
Speaker 1: in it that much. I swear you guys already. I
Speaker 1: think we did l a at home. You're not convinced
Speaker 1: that they're they're they're not going to get there. You
Speaker 1: think they might. This is the swing game, right there.
Speaker 3: Hey, everything's a swingers game.
Speaker 1: Tell Tommy, let's see.
Speaker 7: I mean, are you sure we do?
Speaker 3: I don't know. That's please let me know.
Speaker 1: You've a bet on the Twins over under?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know we had hit for you last week.
Speaker 1: You guys bet on the Gopher.
Speaker 3: That sounds right, doesn't it? But maybe we bet on
Speaker 3: the something else.
Speaker 7: I mean, I think they're forty four and a half
Speaker 7: point favorites to open this against Eastern Illinois, you.
Speaker 12: Know, hideous, and you took the points. Oh yeah, yeah, man,
Speaker 12: preseason football tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Yep. Oh that's what it was.
Speaker 9: I'm looking at parts of beds Twitter and you guys
Speaker 9: bet on the Cardinals over under.
Speaker 3: That's what it was.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Because he said he saw Sports Center, remember, and
Speaker 4: they were dropping the balls and stuff like that, and
Speaker 4: he's just like, well, they're never going to catch the
Speaker 4: ball ever. And then they came out and played in
Speaker 4: the Hall of Fame game and they look pretty good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how many times they were really good about it?
Speaker 3: I watched there what the Hall of thing?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I watched it live.
Speaker 4: I watched it the next day, and then I woke
Speaker 4: up in the middle of the night in a cold,
Speaker 4: sweat naked watching it again the other day, and I
Speaker 4: don't know where I was.
Speaker 3: I had to wander home.
Speaker 5: What Saucess Carson back. Make you nervous that you're going
Speaker 5: to lose that money?
Speaker 7: No? No, not at all. You don't think I can
Speaker 7: go four and thirteen or if you lose the bat
Speaker 7: I think they are.
Speaker 3: I think that was the easiest money I ever made.
Speaker 3: I mean, well, second year.
Speaker 5: It's pretty rare when a team goes one in sixteen
Speaker 5: or two in fifteen, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's super rare.
Speaker 3: Hey, by the way, do you guys have any idea
Speaker 3: who's going to be the starting quarterback? I'm asking, not
Speaker 3: that I care that much, but did I read that
Speaker 3: it looks like the Sanders kid might start a quarterback?
Speaker 1: He should? Yeah, I hope so screwed de shan Watse.
Speaker 3: No, I'm with you. Could he possibly be better than DeShawn.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a Pro Bowl quarterback.
Speaker 9: Yeah, at this point he is. Is he really Shawn Watson?
Speaker 9: Is he played the Pro Bowl last year?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Of course.
Speaker 3: When's the last time DeShawn actually played a football game?
Speaker 1: Then? Busy?
Speaker 3: Well, okay, Ben Leeber.
Speaker 5: In a second, let's talk about Kyler Murray, his thoughts
Speaker 5: on the future of JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 1: What do the Vikings do with Kyler? With JJ?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 5: What's what's the situation looking like in the mind of
Speaker 5: Ben Lieber will ask him for this power to Morning show.
Speaker 3: Yes, and I asked us to do one thing.
Speaker 4: Sauce come up with one question that literally makes Ben
Speaker 4: go that's a good question.
Speaker 5: Okay, I'll try Yeah.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I'll try it.
Speaker 7: Good load.
Speaker 1: You from the one it.
Speaker 3: Hey, welcome back.
Speaker 4: We got lots going on, Dave Swartz being here at
Speaker 4: the moment with a big announcement. I'm not sure I
Speaker 4: can say what the announcement is until eight o'clock, but
Speaker 4: our good friend Dave Schwartz will be here moments earlier.
Speaker 4: But but meanwhile, if you like me, love to not
Speaker 4: only listen to Ben Leeber, but to watch him talk,
Speaker 4: you need to go to KFE dot com slash watch
Speaker 4: right now.
Speaker 1: He's a beautiful man, not.
Speaker 4: Just that, he's a wealth of information and when he speaks, uh,
Speaker 4: he speaks with authority special when he's talking about the
Speaker 4: Minnesota Vikings and it is Vikings news brought to buy
Speaker 4: our friends at Radco right now. And believe it or not,
Speaker 4: you might not have heard, but there is some Vikings
Speaker 4: news to cover that right now. Here is kafans Ben Lieber,
Speaker 4: Hi Ben, how are you?
Speaker 7: Hi?
Speaker 6: Guys?
Speaker 13: I don't know if anybody likes to watch other people
Speaker 13: talk directly, do you?
Speaker 5: I mean, that's what social media is, right And speaking
Speaker 5: of that, it looks like you're set up with that
Speaker 5: awesome the footballs in the back. It looks exactly like
Speaker 5: the Sound the Horn podcast already great, Yeah, good start
Speaker 5: for guys.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, thank you. It's been a lot of fun.
Speaker 13: You know, if you saw the way my office is
Speaker 13: set up, this is about the only place I could
Speaker 13: do any.
Speaker 6: Sort of podcast or video deal. So this is it.
Speaker 6: This is all I got.
Speaker 4: Well, I would like to at some point, and we
Speaker 4: don't have to do right now because we have so
Speaker 4: much big news to get to. And I came to
Speaker 4: you late, because that's how I roll. You got a
Speaker 4: lot of footballs behind you, and I like every one
Speaker 4: of those is a game ball? Is that like one
Speaker 4: that's handed to you a game ball?
Speaker 3: Is that? Is that what's going on behind you?
Speaker 6: Yeah? That that is what they are.
Speaker 13: And I do have several downstairs that are just in
Speaker 13: a box, but uh yeah, these are these are like
Speaker 13: officially made up. So basically after the after the game,
Speaker 13: actually on Mondays at least, Childress would like basically come
Speaker 13: in the team media and say, okay, well here's the
Speaker 13: breakdown of the game, and here's here's a couple of
Speaker 13: Ada boys from the game, and he'd kind of goes
Speaker 13: through your stats and then they'd.
Speaker 6: Give you a game ball that they would.
Speaker 13: Officially make up, so it's not like technically a game ball,
Speaker 13: but you you know what I'm saying. Yeah, so they'd
Speaker 13: paint it up and kind of put your stats on
Speaker 13: there and put the date and all that stuff.
Speaker 5: So yeah, BENJ you hear that, uh Hawk had about
Speaker 5: a thirty minute conversation with your former coach the other
Speaker 5: day at TCO.
Speaker 6: Did he know, Yeah, wow, I'm sure that was really enlightening.
Speaker 13: Actually, did he blame. Did he blame you for getting
Speaker 13: fired as well?
Speaker 4: He did not, And we had a very nice conversation,
Speaker 4: and I really I think that you guys should have
Speaker 4: a talk.
Speaker 6: Oh, I tried.
Speaker 13: He basically, he basically stood his ground on being bitter
Speaker 13: towards me for some reason. And you know, we haven't
Speaker 13: talked since we were actually at the Hall of Fame ceremony.
Speaker 6: For Jared Allen last year.
Speaker 13: And you know, we basically did one of these like
Speaker 13: from across the room, like see ya, I see you,
Speaker 13: you see me. We have mutually no reason to talk
Speaker 13: to each other.
Speaker 6: I've tried. I've tried to take the high road. I've
Speaker 6: tried to explain.
Speaker 13: Actually I've tried to figure out why he wants to
Speaker 13: blame me, specifically for him making the decisions to get
Speaker 13: himself fired. But he doesn't want to hear it for
Speaker 13: some reason. Stuck in his head that the reason that
Speaker 13: he got fired.
Speaker 3: Then I have to do this. I don't know why.
Speaker 3: Something about how I was raised, I'm talking about it
Speaker 3: in therapy all the time. But I have to admit
Speaker 3: to you.
Speaker 4: I told Ben, I told Coach Children's I was on
Speaker 4: his side the entire time. I'm I took I took
Speaker 4: his side. I said, I think you're right and Ben
Speaker 4: is wrong. I couldn't help it. I was in a
Speaker 4: moment and I needed to be his friend and I
Speaker 4: needed him to like me.
Speaker 1: Did it work, Nope, I don't.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, so I didn't realize, you know, at
Speaker 6: the time. You know, we all have perspective in life.
Speaker 13: Sure, I did not realize that when I told Randy
Speaker 13: Moss that he was fired and I was cutting him,
Speaker 13: I didn't realize that I had that power. Yeah, and
Speaker 13: then I didn't realize that I had to actually go
Speaker 13: and talk to management in the front office and say, hey,
Speaker 13: you know that guy that's like going to be in
Speaker 13: our Ring of honor in a Pro Football Hall of Famer,
Speaker 13: I'm just gonna go ahead and make the decision to
Speaker 13: cut him myself without talking to you guys.
Speaker 6: I did not realize.
Speaker 13: Again, we all live, we all learn about from past mistakes.
Speaker 13: So if I had to do it all over again,
Speaker 13: I probably would have talked to the front office and
Speaker 13: the ownership before I did that.
Speaker 4: Well, speaking of ring of honor future ring of honor,
Speaker 4: remember Kyler Marius now your starting quarterback. And I had
Speaker 4: listened to your podcast, yes with Psiamisen, and I was
Speaker 4: excited to hear your perspective. But I thought the lovely
Speaker 4: listeners would love to give you twelve hours, let you
Speaker 4: sleep on it, and have you talked about it again.
Speaker 3: So give us your initial thoughts please.
Speaker 13: Well, I don't think anybody's surprised by the actual decision.
Speaker 13: I'm not surprised.
Speaker 6: I don't. I don't think anybody around there's paid attention
Speaker 6: to this thing is surprised by the actual decision. I
Speaker 6: am surprised by the timing.
Speaker 13: I really did think that they were going to carry this,
Speaker 13: this pseudo competition out longer. It clearly makes a lot
Speaker 13: of sense as to why they would do it now.
Speaker 13: I mean, you can make arguments two and four both sides,
Speaker 13: But I was on the side that thinking that they
Speaker 13: were going to push this competition really into the preseason games.
Speaker 13: See how they look when they actually have a small
Speaker 13: game plan, and actually how they look against a real opponent.
Speaker 6: That's not the case.
Speaker 13: And so you know, if you're looking at this from
Speaker 13: the other side of it, where I wasn't, it does
Speaker 13: make a lot of sense to stop splitting reps, to
Speaker 13: develop that chemistry and that rhythm with the wide receivers,
Speaker 13: to just really let the organization and the team in
Speaker 13: the locker room know that this is our guy, this
Speaker 13: is our leader for right now going forward, and you know,
Speaker 13: kind of put all your energies into getting to know
Speaker 13: you know, the way that he plays and the other
Speaker 13: way that he calls things, and just kind of get
Speaker 13: to know him as as your number one guy. And
Speaker 13: I think it makes a lot of sense. Ben Leber, Yes,
Speaker 13: is this the Is this the question that's going to
Speaker 13: stump me?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: I would never do that warm up one first, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I have a warm up?
Speaker 13: Well this is this is Is this the fluffer question
Speaker 13: before you get into the like, great.
Speaker 7: Question, you're mad at Brad Shoulders, You're not mad at me?
Speaker 6: Are you in the same campus?
Speaker 7: HOWK I'm on your side all the time?
Speaker 1: Go on?
Speaker 7: You know that. Anyway, What do you think the future
Speaker 7: of JJ McCarthy is, Because you know he's gonna to
Speaker 7: be the backup here, but like it'll be he'll be
Speaker 7: what four years into the league by the time next
Speaker 7: season starts. If he doesn't play at all this season
Speaker 7: he had the injury, He's only played ten games.
Speaker 1: Like, what do you think the future is for.
Speaker 6: Him, Sauce. That is a great question.
Speaker 5: I think it is just kissing ask because he's on
Speaker 5: your side in the children's battle.
Speaker 7: Say it, Come on, can't say it.
Speaker 13: It is a It's a great question because it is.
Speaker 13: It is the biggest question I think that the media
Speaker 13: and the fans are going to be asking about.
Speaker 7: UH.
Speaker 13: I think until we get actual closure or a conclusion
Speaker 13: on this, whether it happens one way or it doesn't
Speaker 13: happen at all, UH, and he rides through as the
Speaker 13: backup quarterback for the rest of the season. But I
Speaker 13: think that's a huge important question at the front office
Speaker 13: and Nolan Teely Teasley has to answer is where does
Speaker 13: he fit with the chemistry of this football team. And
Speaker 13: we all understand that locker room dynamics are very important,
Speaker 13: team and player alliances are very important, and you don't
Speaker 13: want those things to be distraction in any of those things.
Speaker 13: So you know, I I don't know what's going to happen.
Speaker 13: I mean, I don't think anybody really knows definitively for
Speaker 13: sure what's going to happen. I do understand from a
Speaker 13: really good connection that.
Speaker 6: JJ is not stupid. He understood what the the odds
Speaker 6: are of.
Speaker 13: Him winning this competition were. I think he knew what
Speaker 13: he was getting himself into. Uh, he understood what was
Speaker 13: kind of presented for him, and he attacked at the
Speaker 13: best way that he could. And with that understanding, he
Speaker 13: also knew that it was it was not going to
Speaker 13: go his way in the end, and he was not
Speaker 13: going to be a bad He's not going to be
Speaker 13: a bad teammate about it. He's not going to mope,
Speaker 13: he's not going to pout, he's not gonna create division
Speaker 13: within the locker room. He's going to do everything he
Speaker 13: can to support when the decision was made, and the
Speaker 13: decision was made yesterday. So you know, if it's if
Speaker 13: anybody's out there thinking that it's there's going to be
Speaker 13: movement with JJ McCarthy, I've been pretty assured.
Speaker 6: That it's not going to come from JJ and his camp.
Speaker 13: So I don't think that you're going to get any
Speaker 13: reports of him saying I'm so disgruntled, I'm so shocked,
Speaker 13: I'm so surprised, I'm so upset. I mean, sure, you're
Speaker 13: going to be upset that you are not the starting quarterback,
Speaker 13: but I don't think it's going to be so much
Speaker 13: where I'm going to run to the front office and
Speaker 13: Nolan Teasley and say, hey, get me out of here
Speaker 13: and trade me. So, if something like that does happen,
Speaker 13: I think it's going to come directly from the new
Speaker 13: the new leadership thinking that it's the best direction for
Speaker 13: the team.
Speaker 1: Hey Ben, that's Parker. Hey Parker, how are you, buddy?
Speaker 1: I know you doing. I'm good.
Speaker 6: You can put your hand down.
Speaker 8: Been You've been at camp a bunch. We've talked quarterbacks
Speaker 8: a lot. Forget the quarterbacks for a second. What is
Speaker 8: one position, one position group that is that you think
Speaker 8: can make or break this Viking season?
Speaker 1: Ah Man, question, that is that is a god?
Speaker 6: That is that is an excellent question.
Speaker 1: Oh you got excellent sauce. Some to think about.
Speaker 13: Yeah, let's stick with the offense. I think there are
Speaker 13: there are some question marks I think on defense, and
Speaker 13: I think we got some of those things answered on
Speaker 13: Sunday night, at least just in the one practice.
Speaker 6: I think the defensive backs look look pretty good.
Speaker 13: Uh, probably need some work at the safety position a
Speaker 13: little bit still, But I would say offensive line, that
Speaker 13: is the one position group that I think that we
Speaker 13: have to keep an eye on. Because of what happened
Speaker 13: last year. You can't predict injuries. Injuries just happen. And
Speaker 13: if injuries do happen, what's the what's the backup situation?
Speaker 1: Look like?
Speaker 13: We know that both quarter cannot be successful, No quarterback
Speaker 13: can be successful if you don't have a good offensive line,
Speaker 13: and we.
Speaker 6: Saw that firsthand last year.
Speaker 13: And you know, part of what we keep talking about
Speaker 13: with Frank Smith in this run game is, yeah, it's
Speaker 13: gonna look different. We all understand this, this wide zone scheme,
Speaker 13: It is going to be different philosophically. But I think
Speaker 13: more importantly it's where we lacked last year in the
Speaker 13: short yardage, goal line situations when we were trying to
Speaker 13: run the football. We we as an offensive line just
Speaker 13: never established a new line of scrimmage on some of
Speaker 13: those really tough rundowns. And I think for us to
Speaker 13: be successful, we have to have those small moments in
Speaker 13: games where we can rely on the offensive line in
Speaker 13: the run game to just plow through, to just be
Speaker 13: be the force, be the intimidator and move the chains
Speaker 13: in that capacity and not always rely on your quarterback
Speaker 13: to have to move the chains. So I think that's
Speaker 13: one position group that's I mean, our offense for sure
Speaker 13: is going to ride or die power offensive line plays.
Speaker 7: Ben.
Speaker 5: I just typed into chat GPT, what's a profound interesting
Speaker 5: question that would make an NFL analyst radio guests say,
Speaker 5: good question?
Speaker 1: And it said this, Uh, Ben, what's uh?
Speaker 5: What's a statistic you could create that doesn't exist today
Speaker 5: that would better explain winning football?
Speaker 1: And what would it measure?
Speaker 3: I'm going to disagree with that, Chad GBT, I don't
Speaker 3: think that's a good question.
Speaker 1: What do we not try?
Speaker 13: I don't think, Ben, I think we track everything at
Speaker 13: this point. My goodness, I thought it's got it's got
Speaker 13: to be something with quarterbacks and just some of the
Speaker 13: I know that we have like air yards and run
Speaker 13: after catch for wide receivers, but there I feel like
Speaker 13: when I'm looking at quarterback stats, there's always like a
Speaker 13: missing element of like, yeah, but you can't really give
Speaker 13: that credit to the quarterback that was kind of given
Speaker 13: to somebody else.
Speaker 5: So well about how about can I can I answer
Speaker 5: that for you and maybe you can help me. You
Speaker 5: go ahead, how about since Kyler has almost as well,
Speaker 5: Kyler has like a dead set two to one touchdown
Speaker 5: interception ratio, we were talking about that, like thirty minutes ago.
Speaker 5: What if we change you know, just like they sometimes
Speaker 5: take an error to a specific player in baseball, how
Speaker 5: about if like the wide receiver drops the football, the
Speaker 5: quarterback doesn't get credit for the interception like that, if
Speaker 5: it's a.
Speaker 1: Flat out drop, Yeah, we shouldn't give that to the quarterback.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 13: And I think that's been talked about a lot too,
Speaker 13: that any sort of catch that you deem that you know,
Speaker 13: whether it's two hands or it was any sort of
Speaker 13: catchable ball that that turnover goes to call it the
Speaker 13: wide receiver or whoever it is, versus going to the quarterback.
Speaker 6: So I do like that one a lot.
Speaker 5: So how many of Kyler's sixty interceptions are somebody else's fault?
Speaker 1: All of them? Most of them? Yeah, all of them?
Speaker 6: Yeah, sure, yeah, go with that.
Speaker 13: The other one that I was thinking that when I
Speaker 13: was actually breaking down and watching some of Kyler's film
Speaker 13: was how many how many yards you know, targets, you know, completions, attempts,
Speaker 13: all of that stuff is within the framework of the
Speaker 13: actual play, And I feel like that that's probably more
Speaker 13: of a pro football focus or whoever these these real
Speaker 13: analytic companies are. But when you watch the play, if
Speaker 13: he throws the ball down the down the field sixty
Speaker 13: yards for a touchdown, but yet he scrambled around in
Speaker 13: Patrick Mahomes's style and Kyler Murray's style and then through
Speaker 13: the ball, it's like, well, okay, that's that's an extension play.
Speaker 13: You know that was that was a creative play like
Speaker 13: we should have like a creative quarterback metric versus like
Speaker 13: what's within the system.
Speaker 3: One more thing, Ben, before we let you go, and
Speaker 3: I appreciate you stepping in because you didn't have to
Speaker 3: do this some thanks. Go be here tomorrow. Everybody wants
Speaker 3: to talk to you.
Speaker 6: No I know, but I love I love you guys
Speaker 6: and whatever.
Speaker 13: Whenever you text me, I try to text back as
Speaker 13: fast as possible.
Speaker 3: Thank you very much.
Speaker 6: Ben.
Speaker 4: Here's a maybe an unanswerable question, but I want you
Speaker 4: to look into the future for me, and I want.
Speaker 3: You to guess. I want you to guess.
Speaker 4: Everybody knows that Ko is the quarterback whisperer, that he
Speaker 4: wants people to work within his system, but we also
Speaker 4: know he's a very very smart man. I heard mister
Speaker 4: Ben Gestling talking about this on his podcast yesterday, How
Speaker 4: much different will this offense be because Kyler is our quarterback?
Speaker 3: Do you know what I mean? What the question?
Speaker 4: I mean, how many called runs where they'll be? How
Speaker 4: much how many different scrambling out of the pocket and
Speaker 4: then making a decision passes will they'll be that are
Speaker 4: actually called that didn't exist in this offense last year.
Speaker 6: First of all, Hi, Dave Schwartz, he's.
Speaker 11: Waving out you know, down, Hi buddy, Hi buddy, buddy.
Speaker 13: Yeah, well you I actually heard a little bit of
Speaker 13: that when KOC was talking in his press conference yesterday
Speaker 13: just about I think there is this mutual understanding of
Speaker 13: really emphasizing what Kyler does best within the offense and
Speaker 13: not forcing Kyler to just run my offense.
Speaker 6: You know, in his words.
Speaker 13: So, I think it is going to look different, and
Speaker 13: I don't think that you're going to see a lot
Speaker 13: of quarterback run game in the in the field of play.
Speaker 6: I think you'll see it more in the red zone.
Speaker 6: You'll see it more in.
Speaker 13: The in the sort of the the tight red zone,
Speaker 13: and as you get inside the ten yard line. I
Speaker 13: think that's where he can be used in a more
Speaker 13: dynamic sense. But you know, you didn't see a ton.
Speaker 13: You didn't see a ton of real quarterback run game
Speaker 13: when when Jonathan Gannon was the head coach and Drew
Speaker 13: Petsen was the offensive coordinator, they used it a little bit,
Speaker 13: but not not probably as much as you think. And
Speaker 13: I don't think that you really want to use him
Speaker 13: in that capacity either. I think you just want to
Speaker 13: use his athleticism as a more as a creator an
Speaker 13: extender of plays versus true quarterback run game. So I
Speaker 13: think you are going to see quite a bit more shotgun.
Speaker 13: I think some of this wide zone scheme can be
Speaker 13: melted into the shotgun formations a little bit more. So
Speaker 13: I think you will see a little bit more of
Speaker 13: that and a little bit less under center. But again,
Speaker 13: I think it's going to be a mutual negotiation between
Speaker 13: the two.
Speaker 1: All right, final question, Ben, because and it's a two parter.
Speaker 5: The first one can be quick, the second one needs
Speaker 5: to be a little bit longer.
Speaker 1: First part of the question.
Speaker 5: Is if you're if you're married, is it okay to
Speaker 5: take like an ex girlfriend out to dinner.
Speaker 1: Just to catch you up? Yes?
Speaker 6: Or no?
Speaker 1: I would say no, okay because the reason why I
Speaker 1: said that's a bad idea.
Speaker 5: The reason why I ask is you know you you
Speaker 5: and I are married, But according to Chris Childress might
Speaker 5: want to play initials.
Speaker 1: Is it wrong for me to invite him?
Speaker 9: All?
Speaker 3: No, not at all.
Speaker 6: I mean he doesn't. He likes you guys.
Speaker 1: Okay, that is a relief, right. I didn't want to
Speaker 1: break up with you. I didn't want to break up
Speaker 1: with you, all right, that was my final No.
Speaker 6: No, not at all, not at all.
Speaker 13: Well, the funny thing is, the odd thing is, and
Speaker 13: I know I'm being I'm being hard on him because
Speaker 13: I feel like I've tried to mend this fence and
Speaker 13: he wasn't.
Speaker 6: He was really to.
Speaker 13: Try to mend the fence. So uh, thus my attitude
Speaker 13: towards him. But I really, I really liked him, you know,
Speaker 13: for you know, I was with the Vikings for five years,
Speaker 13: and Brad and I got along for the better part
Speaker 13: of four pleasure years.
Speaker 6: You know, I know that.
Speaker 13: You know, I was one of his guys that he
Speaker 13: would call randomly after practice or when I'm at home
Speaker 13: just to get a vibe, check on kind of what's
Speaker 13: going on. And you know, I trusted him, and I
Speaker 13: think he trusted me, and I actually liked a lot
Speaker 13: of his like dorky analogies, you know, for like motivational speeches.
Speaker 13: They were kind of they were kind of funny, and
Speaker 13: I appreciated the fact of how much work he put into,
Speaker 13: like you know, finding out different different things to kind
Speaker 13: of motivate us. So no, there was a there was
Speaker 13: I think a mutual appreciation until it just came to
Speaker 13: a screeching halt and uh. And since then there's been
Speaker 13: a reluctance to even try to mend that fence.
Speaker 6: So here we are then.
Speaker 4: One last thing, I promise you, then we're done. But
Speaker 4: I just had this thought when you were talking there momentarily.
Speaker 4: Can you imagine a scenario where it is August twelfth,
Speaker 4: twenty twenty six, and we're sitting here and our three
Speaker 4: quarterbacks are Carson Wentz, JJ McCarthy and Max Prosmer, And
Speaker 4: don't you feel so much more excitement sitting here on
Speaker 4: August twelfth, twenty twenty six with Kyler Murray, JJ McCarthy,
Speaker 4: Carson Wentz and Max Prosmer.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I really do much.
Speaker 3: I mean I think this this is awesome.
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's funny because you know, in some of the
Speaker 13: comments even on just on the sound the Horn Channel,
Speaker 13: and I'm looking through how many Viking fans are like
Speaker 13: not happy about this or maybe maybe not understanding that
Speaker 13: this was kind of inevitable.
Speaker 6: I was.
Speaker 13: I'm a little shocked by that. Look, Kyler Murray gives
Speaker 13: this offense a dimension that it's never happen. Yeah, look
Speaker 13: at any quarterback that KOC has outside of the.
Speaker 6: Pastronaut, and I think that he's just like his own
Speaker 6: unique thing, you know.
Speaker 13: I think that was just like it was exciting for
Speaker 13: about four games and then we really saw what he
Speaker 13: was and what he could do and his limitations. But
Speaker 13: he gives he gives this offense a huge dynamic in
Speaker 13: a in a bigger weapon than that we had ever
Speaker 13: before in this offense. So I'm excited to see it.
Speaker 13: And by no means do I look at J. J.
Speaker 13: McCarthy and think that his career is over, Like I
Speaker 13: still I still think that he can have a long
Speaker 13: NFL career, And I think this is just a small
Speaker 13: little hurdle that he's got to get over and as
Speaker 13: long as he kind of stays true to himself and
Speaker 13: keeps grinding, I think it's going to be fine. But yeah,
Speaker 13: I think for this offense, This will be very, very
Speaker 13: exciting to see what a very athletic and talented Kyler
Speaker 13: Murray can do with our receivers, with our offensive line,
Speaker 13: and just with the way our defense is playing.
Speaker 3: Thank you for honesty, Thank you, Ben.
Speaker 1: Thanks Ben.
Speaker 4: I want to broadcast from your house. From now on,
Speaker 4: we should all come to you.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I don't have the space.
