Land 34 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: was that y that was Save two falls? So it 35 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: was whatever the man Cato station that I think was 36 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,959 Speaker 1: the whoever had the NFC games. And I would sit 37 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: on the floor watching the Viking game with all of 38 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: my football cards.

And 42 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: as the play would happen, I would run Chuck Foreman 43 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: around the right end, or I would run and Barren 44 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: Narrow up the middle, or Brand McClanahan and he'd fumble, 45 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: and then I'd tear his card in them. And that 46 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: that's what I remember, at age three or four, was 47 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: where my love for the Viking started. Now you'll notice 48 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: Alan has a purple and gold bucket with him if 49 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: anybody wants him to do a voiceover for one hundred dollars, 50 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: just dropping in a bucket, like I put one hundred 51 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: in there, so he'll say.

I don't think I ever did. I 77 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 1: started in radio. Was just telling my brother and my wife. 78 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: I started in radio in nineteen eighty two in Brainerd, Minnesota. 79 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,119 Speaker 1: It was the summer before my junior year of high school. Wow, 80 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: so you hit puberty at age age. 81 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 2: That scenes Lap, he was a tenor until high school. 82 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 2: I can't look at him. I just want you to. 83 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 3: Read books like I'd love like almost you mentioned, you know, 84 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 3: starting in radio, like orson Well style War of the World. 85 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 2: I'd love for you just to read that to me. 86 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know what, you know how long it 87 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 1: takes to read a book. Now, I didn't have that too. No, 88 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: I don't have that kind of time. 89 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 4: Is there a difference, like when you're doing a hockey 90 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 4: game and when you're doing a football game. 91 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 2: Is there a difference? And what would it be? 92 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: Well, I mean from from an actual standpoint of what 93 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: I do football. I have to watch every play because 94 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: like Pa Pa does beautiful, flowery, wonderful play by play, 95 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: I do what's called I call skeleton play by play. 96 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: I say Aaron Jones and ball carrier gain him two 97 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: second down and eight and so I have to watch 98 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: every play to say all of that stuff. Whereas in hockey, 99 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: you know, you can be doom scrolling that word from 100 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 1: my daughter yesterday, doom scrolling, and then they score a goal. 101 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: Everybody cheers, so you look, oh okay, and then they 102 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 1: give you who scored the goal, and then you say 103 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: it and that's all there is in hockey. So it's 104 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: it's much different. I like announcing football a lot better 105 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: for that reason because I'm always engaged. 106 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 2: How did you get through the last one? 107 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: Because I got a rare Alan roach text early in 108 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: the game, you know, because Alan will come to the 109 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: box box at us Bank Stadium and he'll see me 110 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: on my binoculars with the roster in front of me, 111 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: and I'm memorizing numbers and body types for for the 112 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: other team, so hopefully I can go quick twitch on it. 113 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: Alan does a lot of the same stuff. Texted me 114 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: about five minutes into the game. What was the Texas 115 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: the Detroit game? Right? Yeah?

Box problems see a single number? 118 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: No idea? 119 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 2: How'd you guys get over that? 120 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: Why he's got binoculars I have. I have a spotter 121 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: that I just relied on more. And I asked the 122 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: spotter who caught it, who threw it, who ran it, 123 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: who tackled who? I should just give him the mic? 124 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 2: What do you like about living in Colorado? 125 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: The weather's pretty amazing we have and probably here too, 126 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: anywhere across the United States. This time of year, you 127 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: watch National News and they'll show seven feet of snow 128 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: and a snow plow going up the mountains, and you know, 129 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: the snow is high just outside of Denver. So people 130 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: think that's what Denver is. Denver's a desert. You know 131 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: what the temperature was on Christmas Day in Denver? Seventy geez. 132 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 2: Wow. 133 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: We had in the month of December sixteen days above 134 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: sixty degrees this December. That's what Denver is. All Right, 135 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: it'll get snow and we have three hundred and twenty 136 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: days of sunshiny years. 137 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,959 Speaker 2: I'm moving Denver, so is everybody else. 138 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: And that's over the last ten years. The housing prices 139 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Who I lived there, I've lived 140 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: there thirty years. When I got there, the metro was 141 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: two million. It's almost five million now. All right. Conversely, 142 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: what do you not like about living in Colorado? The roads? 143 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: They never built roads in Colorado. And that's we're just 144 00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: kind of what we're talking about. In the last thirty years, 145 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,959 Speaker 1: it's gotten more than twice the size, twice the population. 146 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: All they do is, let's build houses, Let's build hospitals, 147 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: lot Fitzkills, low Fitfielder, let's build it. Oh we need 148 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: some roads. Wow, just kind of curl a road around here, 149 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: you'll be fine. We have no freeways. We have a 150 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 1: freeway that goes this way and a freeway that goes 151 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: that way, and that's it. So good luck getting from 152 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: the southwest to the northeast. Despite your Minnesota vikings not 153 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: making the playoffs this season, correct me if I'm wrong here, 154 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: Vox of all boxes ever to box you always enjoy 155 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: when they beat Green Bay and you're on the microphone, right, 156 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: I think, yes, absolutely? And what is there an opening 157 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: a lambo coming up hated the shiny yellow pants and 158 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: going all the way back to four years old with 159 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: the football cards on the floor. I think, wasn't the 160 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: first game I ever did in US Stadium? The first 161 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: game that was the Packers? Right? It was so it 162 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: couldn't gotten any better. Do you have any idea what 163 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: our record is against the Packers in the US Bank Stadium. 164 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm going to guess seven and two, 165 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: donnison three. 166 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 2: Well, find they won in twenty twenty two. You got 167 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 2: to go back to sixteen, twenty twenty three loss. 168 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: They won in. 169 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 2: Sixteen, they won in seventeen. 170 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: I would guess it's it's it's a winning record and 171 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: by more than just one. They played nine. So and 172 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 1: to close this segment, then we'll chat about the vikings. 173 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: Get a little nosalgic with some of these Super Bowls 174 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: that Allen is boxed as the voice of the Super 175 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 1: Bowl like in the stadium, Man, it's super cool. I 176 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,319 Speaker 1: thought there was an outside chance he was going to 177 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 1: be here. I don't think he's here unless he's hiding. 178 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 1: But our boss with the Vikings and the Vikings Entertainment Network, 179 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: Brian Harper, is departing for the Las Vegas Golden Knights. 180 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,439 Speaker 1: Would you have been the voice of US Bank Stadium 181 00:10:54,920 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: without Harper being like, well, mister wilf And and mister 182 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: Warren and everybody else, you say you want the best 183 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: in your most visible spots or whatever or period, we 184 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: got to go get this guy. 185 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 2: Is that how it went down? 186 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: Yes, And I met Brian Harper, who has been with 187 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: the Vikings for twenty two years. He worked as a 188 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: you know, a contract employee with the company that produced 189 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: the post game Super Bowl show where they give away 190 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: the trophy. And so it's kind of funny when you 191 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: whenever you look back at the postgame trophy presentations, you know, 192 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 1: there's Terry Bradshaw, there's the commissioner. You can always see 193 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: Brian Harper's face in there somewhere too. That was his job, 194 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: was to make sure people in the right spot on 195 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: that stand. Well, when I met him sixteen years ago 196 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: and learned that he was with the Minnesota Vikings. Every 197 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 1: time our group would go to dinner on Friday night, 198 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: and I'd seem only once a year, every time our 199 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: group would go to dinner on Friday night, there'd be 200 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 1: twenty people. I would always sit right next to Brian 201 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: Harper and just say, man, I would love to be 202 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: the voice of the Minnesota Viking one day. And then 203 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: when when the new stadium came around, there was an opportunity, 204 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: and yeah, Hart made it happen. 205 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's I'm gonna miss I miss him already, man. 206 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: Yeah you know he yeah, Well, what he's created, I 207 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 1: don't I don't know, and I know I've talked about 208 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: this on your show before. What happens inside the Minnesota 209 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: Viking Stadium is different than anywhere else that you will 210 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: go in the National Football League, and it's because of 211 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: Brian Harper and the people that he has brought in. 212 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: Every year, UH, sports teams or sports organizations had this 213 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,959 Speaker 1: big conference called the Idea Conference. So NBA teams, college 214 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: sports teams, NHL teams, baseball teams, they all come to 215 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: this conference and of course there's lots of this going on, 216 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: lots of beers at night. But then they have you know, 217 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: little breakout sessions where you learn about the newest technologies 218 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: and whatever. Well, all of these teams submit videos of 219 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: what they do in their stadiums, whether it's baseball or 220 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 1: hockey or whatever. So then they go, okay, everybody, let's 221 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: vote on the best hockey program, and so that gets 222 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 1: an award. Let's bet on the best baseball program, and 223 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,719 Speaker 1: then they have let's bet on the best overall program. 224 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: Well I don't know the exact numbers, but I think 225 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: this is pretty close. In football, the Vikings have won 226 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: the best overall program seven of the last nine years, 227 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: and they've won the best football program seven of nine, 228 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: and they've won the best overall program in all of 229 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: sports like two of the last five years the Minnesota 230 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: what you see in the stadium is not what everyone 231 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: else gets. And one of the things that's so amazing, 232 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: and it stuck out to me as soon as I 233 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: got here. And you probably don't notice this, but when 234 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: you walk into US Bank Stadium for a Vikings game 235 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: and you're there for three and a half hours, you 236 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: are not sold as single thing. There is not a 237 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: commercial anywhere. It's interesting and if you go to almost 238 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: any other stadium for instance, I came from the Denver Broncos. 239 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: I did the Broncos for sixteen years. I read I'm 240 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: not kidding, at least seventy commercials a game. Wow fans, 241 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: be sure you get the official tire of the Denver 242 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: Broncos fans. When you need a personal interro attorney, be 243 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: sure to get the personal terry attorney to the Denver fans. 244 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: Be sure to drink Pepsi. It's the good. 245 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. 246 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: Constantly during the timeouts, I'm reading commercials at the Vikings game. 247 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: The Vikings and Brian Harper did this. Ye appreciate the 248 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: money you are spending and the reason you are there. 249 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: And it's sure as hell is not to find out 250 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: who the personal injury attorney is of the Minnesota Biking 251 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: and I love. 252 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 2: That personal injury stray. 253 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 3: I was gonna ask you something a bit off topic though, 254 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 3: in terms of not just what you've built and been 255 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 3: able to be a part of here in Minnesota, but 256 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 3: e intros all the other things that you've gotten to 257 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 3: be a part of as part of your career. What 258 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 3: is what would you say the most special event that 259 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 3: you've gotten to voice. I mean, whether it's Olympics and 260 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 3: Super Bowls, of course, maybe you know World Cup soccer. 261 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 3: You think about all the things that are on your resume, 262 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 3: either now or so certainly still to come. 263 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 2: What what has been the most special thing that you've 264 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 2: been a part of? 265 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: And that's what's really cool about my job?

I mean, what what's better? 270 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great point. 271 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: It's I I can't pick.

And then 343 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: they come rolling in and then the box does this thing. 344 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: Who is our Who is the Minnesota Viking starting quarterback 345 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: next season? JJ McCarthy, Kirk Cousins, Joe Burrow or other 346 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy. Why he's five and four as a starter. 347 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: He is growing as a quarterback biggest concern with JJ 348 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: mccar arthy is he's got a state healthy and gotta 349 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: play kid, And let's hope that this is a one 350 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: off and it's going to be another eight years before 351 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: he misses five or six games in a season, and 352 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 1: that happens with players. Who knows, And maybe these are 353 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: all freak injuries, but that right now, I have much 354 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: more concern about staying healthy than I do about becoming 355 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: a good quarterback. Where's Giovanni Fitzsimmons, I got a k 356 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: fan sure for you? 357 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 2: Here is a birthday Okay, go ahead continue. 358 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 3: Harrison Smith returning or not returning in your fan loving mind, 359 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 3: not that you're in the meeting room or you're a 360 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 3: decision maker in this regard. What do you think about 361 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 3: number two to two, the career that he's had, the 362 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 3: chance you've gotten to watch him since the opening a 363 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 3: US Bank Stadium nearly a decade ago. 364 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 2: That's where you at with Hitman. 365 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: I think that is going to go to who the 366 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator is going to be. I do not think 367 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: that Harrison's myth will come back to be part of 368 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,959 Speaker 1: a new defense. I think it will be hard for 369 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: Harrison Smith to come back as a player in the defense. 370 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: If B Flow is not there, why would be Flow 371 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: not be there? I heard you guys talking about Pittsburgh. 372 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: Here's I think, uh with with B Flow going to Pittsburgh, 373 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: that's the one that makes the most sense. But the 374 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: two things I think that we as Viking fans have 375 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 1: going for us. And it's not like we're rooting against 376 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: B Flow. He deserves everything. No wait, wait, wait, sorry, 377 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: we'd say it. It's not like we're birds or lizards. 378 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: We're kings. How about that. That's that's on the That 379 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: was a that was that was quote? But grant, Yeah, 380 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: that's that's on the screen every week in the in 381 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: the opening. Okay, it's not like we're lizards or reptile 382 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 1: or birds or reptiles. But if I don't want to 383 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: root against B Flow, but that's kind of what you 384 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: have to do, right in order to be selfish as 385 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: a Viking fan. The Pittsburgh Steelers have had a defensive 386 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: head coach for what nineteen years in a row or whatever, 387 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: and even Cower was before that in the in your 388 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:16,479 Speaker 1: face and so you I would think that Pittsburgh needing 389 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 1: a quarterback is going to look more for someone who's 390 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: going to develop a young quarterback. And then we go 391 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: to the whole two at Tanga Bloa comments of two 392 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 1: years ago, and who knows whether Hey, either that's sour 393 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: grapes or whatever. That only you dropping the mic only 394 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: happens at ball Arena. It never happens in US Bank Stadium, 395 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 1: So I don't I don't think the Pittsburgh Steelers are 396 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: going to be in the market for well Brian Flores, 397 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: So I think that means both he and hit Man 398 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: will be back next year. 399 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 2: I'd love that if that happens. 400 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 4: My question, and during a season like this, when you're 401 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 4: like on the mic for some of these games, is 402 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 4: it hard to keep the emotion out of it? 403 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 2: Or do you want do you want the emotion in it? 404 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: Like? 405 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 2: How do you navigate that? 406 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: I think for the first few years, I had to 407 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: monitor the emotion and not the mad emotion, the angry 408 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: emotion when an interception or a loss, because I goten 409 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,640 Speaker 1: used to that for no matter what team I've announced 410 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: for for twenty years before that. I knew that you 411 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: have to remain professional, but I kind of tried to 412 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: temper the excitement a little bit and bring it down 413 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: and make sure that I but over the last four 414 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: or five years, I'm like, no, let it ride. Look 415 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: at the stadium and the fans in this place hard 416 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 1: how they react. I came home last week and told 417 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: my wife, this sounds ridiculous because the Vikings are not 418 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: in the playoffs and this game meant nothing. I had 419 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:51,160 Speaker 1: seriously more fun announcing last week's game than I've ever 420 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: had announcing any game anywhere. Really, I was more into 421 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: last week's game than any other game I've ever announced 422 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: in my thirty eight plus years. So I think and 423 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 1: and Alex picked up on this too. The joy in 424 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: the building was palpable. I mean you could just feel 425 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 1: the happiness and the joy within the fan base. And 426 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: it was you know, it's first down and the crowd's 427 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 1: going crazy, and it's a two yard loss on a 428 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: running play. Now the crowd is louder. Now it's the 429 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: seven yard sacked. The crowd is even louder. Now it's 430 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: third and nineteen and the place is going crazy. Yeah. 431 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 3: It was. 432 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 4: Also it was also like you didn't know what time 433 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,640 Speaker 4: it was in there was like dark, so you kind 434 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 4: of just felt the snoop fit was the bomb. 435 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 1: It was like Snoop, the Country Lady, and then Opera 436 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,679 Speaker 1: guy at the end. I left it being like, but 437 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: Kelly with Kelly, that's right. I left it being like, 438 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: just do that at the super Bowl as opposed to 439 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 1: and Honey or what it might be the box. 440 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 2: It was unbelievable.

It was 447 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: the very last game for Jerome bettis Antwine Randelel threw 448 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: a touchdown pass be high Ward, Yes he did. And 449 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl halftime show, Ladies and gentlemen, the Rolling Stone. 450 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 2: That's good, all right. 451 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: Amazing super I dropped the mic after that, Danta, I'll 452 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: never do anything cooler than this, and I've done seventeen 453 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,400 Speaker 1: more so it's pretty amazing.

But I don't 559 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 1: get picked. 560 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 4: What would you like when you're getting into radio, what 561 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 4: would that self have thought of what you've been able 562 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 4: to see and do well? 563 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: And when I got into radio, I was I was 564 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 1: a music guy for twenty the first twenty something years 565 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 1: of radio, I played music. I played country for the 566 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: first nine months, and that was like, Okay, I'm gonna 567 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 1: quit and never do this again because I hate country music. 568 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 2: Why didn't you like the nitty gritty dirt man. 569 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was I could not stand it. But 570 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 1: then I got into classic rock, right when classic rock 571 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: stations started popping the ball over the country. Yeah, I 572 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: was right at the beginning of that. And so for 573 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 1: twenty years I played led Zeppelin and Rolling Stones, Freeburg, yep. 574 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: And I did that forever and ever. And you know, 575 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 1: there's only like five hundred songs that a classic rock 576 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: station plays, and you can play fourteen songs an hour, 577 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: so do the math, you play almost four hundred a day. 578 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: So I did that for twenty something years. I played 579 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: the same five hundred songs forever. But thatd it. And 580 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 1: it wasn't until much later that I started the sports stuff. 581 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 1: So I had no idea when I got into radio 582 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 1: that I ever have anything to do with sports. 583 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 2: This is crazy. The arc is wild. 584 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: And to me, you know, when you go a segment 585 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: in three quarters, how we got about five minutes left 586 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: with the box of ball boxes ever to box?

Joining us now, my Glorioprofootball Talk 590 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: dot Com Nordo got a question. There's no reintroduction needed 591 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 1: here when it comes to that voice. The white zone 592 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 1: is for loading and unloading up passengers only ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, 593 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: I know you got more questions on there. I won. Okay, 594 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 1: I thought of something this week that I wanted to 595 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,879 Speaker 1: talk about or deals with officiating in the NFL. Two 596 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,279 Speaker 1: things that need to be changed. One I think is 597 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 1: easy and I saw it in the like the Sunday 598 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 1: Night or the Monday night game last week, and we 599 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 1: see it all the time. And I understand a couple 600 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 1: of years ago when they made the rule about when 601 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 1: you sack the quarterback you can't fall on him with 602 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 1: your weight by way, and I get it, I get it. 603 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,880 Speaker 1: I know the reason for the rule, but that rule 604 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 1: is changing games. Yeah. One of the super biggest plays 605 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 1: in the game on a third down when the game 606 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 1: is on the line and the defense puts forth their 607 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,720 Speaker 1: best effort and they sacked the quarterback because the middle 608 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: linebacker runs straight ahead for seven steps, dives at the 609 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 1: quarterback makes the sack, the game is flagged down first 610 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:57,720 Speaker 1: down for the offense. That's got a change. We can't 611 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 1: continue that. And here's another one which is way way 612 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 1: out there, but we see it also, And it was 613 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 1: in these same games a week ago, with all of 614 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: the replay and cameras and people in dark rooms that 615 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 1: are calling you, the referee in the ear and randomly saying, 616 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,440 Speaker 1: oh no, that was a first down, Oh no, that 617 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:27,319 Speaker 1: was a get what do they call it? Something in 618 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:31,919 Speaker 1: the next several years, I hope that something that we 619 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:39,399 Speaker 1: hear on NFL games is the penalty was deemed irrelevant 620 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 1: to the outcome of the play. 621 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 2: That's awesome. 622 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 3: There was. 623 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,319 Speaker 1: It was just last week. I think it was the 624 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,440 Speaker 1: Sunday night game. I don't even remember who was playing. 625 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 1: The quarterback is getting ready to throw, he's getting smashed 626 00:35:56,160 --> 00:36:00,080 Speaker 1: in the face by two guys and they called a 627 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 1: defensive pass interference over here where the quarterback's not even 628 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 1: looking bast It happens all the time, and the referee 629 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 1: that the officials job is to watch one thing. My 630 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:14,239 Speaker 1: job is to watch any receiver that comes in here. Watch, watch, watch, watch, watch, Oh, 631 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,759 Speaker 1: there's holding, and then they look up to see whether 632 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 1: it's holding or whether it's pass interference if the ball 633 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,319 Speaker 1: is there. Yeah, with all the replay that we have, 634 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 1: why is a grab or a touch over here on 635 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 1: the sideline when the quarterback is sprinting towards the opposite sideline? 636 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 1: Why does that change the outcome of the play and 637 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 1: oftentimes change the outcome of the game. 638 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,000 Speaker 2: I mean, why do you keep looking at me? Who 639 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:39,359 Speaker 2: do you think? 640 00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,280 Speaker 1: I am Bernie Kuchar and we're also up against break 641 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 1: Alan roade, ladies and gentlemen, the box of all boxes 642 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 1: ever to box.
