WEBVTT - Common Man Hour 1 0:00:00.310 --> 0:00:00.590 Oh, boy. 0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:31.630 Why should anybody aspire to be a common man, an 0:00:31.730 --> 0:00:33.830 average man? Do you realize what it means to be average? 0:00:34.630 --> 0:00:37.830 That means you're the best of the lousiest. And the 0:00:37.890 --> 0:00:40.930 lousiest of the best. Now if we demand more and 0:00:40.970 --> 0:00:44.050 more for producing less and less while the have-not nations 0:00:44.130 --> 0:00:49.490 encourage and inspire and indeed require hard work and maximum effort, 0:00:49.590 --> 0:00:52.760 if we deify the common men while they encourage and 0:00:52.810 --> 0:00:56.590 reward the uncommon ones... Well, the end result of such 0:00:56.620 --> 0:00:59.800 a lopsided race is that it's too obvious to require elaboration. 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:05.600 I mean, it's like, hello? 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:09.720 Columbia 300 launches the Spanish version of the website, and 0:01:09.740 --> 0:01:12.620 I think, as we know with everything going on right 0:01:12.670 --> 0:01:17.089 now in the United States with the Spanish speaking and everything, 0:01:17.110 --> 0:01:19.509 this is pretty huge, I guess, for them to take 0:01:19.590 --> 0:01:23.169 the step there to put a Spanish version website out. 0:01:23.770 --> 0:01:26.340 Well, I guess it's kind of got to happen because 0:01:26.380 --> 0:01:31.840 the Spanish are beginning to take such a stronghold in 0:01:32.420 --> 0:01:35.360 life itself and they can no longer be ignored. 0:01:37.660 --> 0:01:39.720 I think we have a very good mix right now. 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:42.740 I mean, the morning show does well, comparatively speaking, especially 0:01:42.780 --> 0:01:44.600 given what it has to go against. Ubers and I 0:01:44.620 --> 0:01:47.030 have done well, knock on wood, for four years. Common 0:01:47.060 --> 0:01:50.130 and Hartman have done okay. And Barrero is, in my estimation, 0:01:50.170 --> 0:01:53.290 the prime time player on our station. Cultivating a couple 0:01:53.330 --> 0:01:55.270 of kids in Sludge and Lake. And, you know, we 0:01:55.290 --> 0:01:57.390 have the Vikings and maybe some things down the road. 0:01:57.430 --> 0:02:17.800 So I think we're strong right now. disease. 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:21.640 We're happy for you. Yeah, but... Speculation. 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:29.700 Right! The Lions are a terrible team and a terrible city. 0:02:30.020 --> 0:02:32.419 We're terrible fans and a terrible failure. 0:02:32.780 --> 0:02:33.660 A terrible uniform. 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:46.570 A terrible career. How about the Cardiac Cats? Oh, my gosh. Oh, 0:02:46.630 --> 0:02:47.169 the average. 0:02:49.370 --> 0:02:51.149 When you live by the dog, you die by the dog. 0:02:54.100 --> 0:02:56.880 Rosa, you don't know nothing. 0:02:56.960 --> 0:03:04.130 Ain't that the truth. Welcome back to the spotlight, young man. 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:09.700 He's the clown from Brown. 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:12.860 He's the fourth in the North. 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:16.480 This is the common man, Dan Cole. 0:03:16.500 --> 0:03:20.079 I'm the only one here. Greetings, good afternoon, and ack, ack, ack, ack, ack, ack, 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:23.859 ack to you and yours. It's the annual I Heart 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:28.600 Minneapolis Halloween party day. I tend to see you dressed 0:03:28.650 --> 0:03:31.720 up as an interim producer. You look perfect. Really, you 0:03:31.750 --> 0:03:34.660 don't look much different today than you normally do. I 0:03:34.700 --> 0:03:36.700 dressed up as a wet blanket or a Richard as 0:03:36.740 --> 0:03:41.120 it were. Um, never really been a Halloween costume guy. 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:43.300 You know, I mean, back when I. 0:03:43.260 --> 0:03:44.320 Was a kid, right? 0:03:44.340 --> 0:03:44.420 Sure. 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.000 You know, you do, you either be the pirate, you know, 0:03:48.020 --> 0:03:51.120 you are maybe walk the plank and all, you know, 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:56.060 swab the decks, lower the lifeboats, batten down the hatches 0:03:56.100 --> 0:03:58.280 and all that other nautical stuff. I know nothing about, uh, 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:03.030 but a lot of people played along. Um, Some of 0:04:03.070 --> 0:04:06.970 the costumes were interesting, to say the least. Then Emily 0:04:07.010 --> 0:04:12.080 always does her best to put out lunch. Did you 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:13.800 look at it? You would have just hate. There's not 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:16.400 one thing on there other than the cookie. She had 0:04:16.420 --> 0:04:17.800 a cookie thing in there. I think I even saw 0:04:17.820 --> 0:04:18.300 you grab it. 0:04:18.300 --> 0:04:19.140 I had a Rice Krispie treat. 0:04:19.220 --> 0:04:23.930 Is that what that was? But it was like salads 0:04:24.370 --> 0:04:28.030 and cut vegetables, like peppers and stuff and celery and carrots. 0:04:28.190 --> 0:04:30.860 Put it this way, if that was all there was, 0:04:30.900 --> 0:04:33.960 if we were here, you would starve to death because 0:04:33.980 --> 0:04:35.940 you just wouldn't eat anything. But it's so much fun, 0:04:35.980 --> 0:04:40.320 and I'm glad Emily puts the time into that. Max, 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:42.400 I don't know what Max did with his hair. He 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:45.260 definitely did something different. He looks different today. Usually he's 0:04:45.300 --> 0:04:48.180 got the full-blown afro, and now he didn't. I don't 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:48.659 know what he did. 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:50.580 He was dressed as Snoop Dogg. 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:51.750 Is that who he was dressed as? 0:04:52.620 --> 0:04:55.520 Yeah, because Emily, they did like a, what do you 0:04:55.540 --> 0:04:57.520 call it, like a couples, I don't know, I guess 0:04:57.540 --> 0:05:00.620 I can't say couples, but like a team pairs gift 0:05:00.779 --> 0:05:05.390 or a costume idea. So she was Martha Stewart and 0:05:05.450 --> 0:05:07.270 he is Snoop Dogg. 0:05:07.290 --> 0:05:10.090 Oh, now I get it. Yeah, I wasn't sure who 0:05:10.130 --> 0:05:12.150 she was supposed to be. I thought, for a second, 0:05:12.170 --> 0:05:16.990 I thought she was trying to be Hillary Clinton. But 0:05:17.010 --> 0:05:17.810 Snoop Dogg. 0:05:17.830 --> 0:05:19.480 Either that or Max was trying to be Chris Cross, 0:05:19.660 --> 0:05:19.960 one of the two. 0:05:21.339 --> 0:05:22.060 We're cross-dressed. 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:23.760 We're cross-dressed. 0:05:25.020 --> 0:05:26.859 Snoop! 0:05:28.140 --> 0:05:29.280 Drop it like it's hot. 0:05:29.380 --> 0:05:30.380 Drop it like it's hot. 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:36.560 So, yes, Halloween is here. Speaking of spooky, the Wolves 0:05:36.580 --> 0:05:39.960 just ain't the same team without Ant. Though, again, you know, 0:05:40.620 --> 0:05:46.270 I don't remember which account I read, but it was basically. 0:05:47.450 --> 0:05:47.989 Moral Victory. 0:05:48.990 --> 0:05:51.400 Rallied back after getting six different kinds kicked out of 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:56.660 us for two and a half quarters. We rallied back. 0:05:56.700 --> 0:06:04.020 We lost, though, and now there's life before ant, life 0:06:04.300 --> 0:06:06.820 with ant, and now with or without ant. And right 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:08.400 now we're without them, and that will probably be four. 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:09.960 With or without ant. 0:06:10.100 --> 0:06:14.880 It's... Up to, it could be more than two months, 0:06:14.900 --> 0:06:16.740 but it says something like up to two months, but 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:19.880 it could be more. Meanwhile, my source was right. I 0:06:19.940 --> 0:06:21.580 broke the news a couple of weeks ago that I 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:25.940 said my sources tell me the Faber fractured skull injury 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:27.880 will probably only keep him out of the line for 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:30.390 two or three weeks. It's been about three, maybe four, right? 0:06:31.110 --> 0:06:33.150 Certainly looks like he's coming back much sooner because you 0:06:33.230 --> 0:06:36.930 sent me a, and I just, I shouldn't, it was 0:06:36.990 --> 0:06:38.490 sent to me while I was in my car and 0:06:38.510 --> 0:06:41.250 I don't like to read texts while I'm driving. But 0:06:41.270 --> 0:06:43.010 I thought I saw it was a Russo thing saying, 0:06:43.170 --> 0:06:44.250 is Faber skating? 0:06:44.980 --> 0:06:47.820 He's been cleared to skate now. He's still got to 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:49.980 ramp up activity. So it's not like he's just going 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.960 to jump in the lineup tonight against the New York Islanders. 0:06:53.060 --> 0:06:56.920 But he's at least cleared now to... Get back into it. 0:06:57.020 --> 0:06:57.880 Okay. 0:06:57.960 --> 0:06:59.880 Return to play protocol is how they would say it. 0:07:00.140 --> 0:07:02.760 Return to play protocol. And when did, do we know 0:07:02.820 --> 0:07:05.880 exactly how many days it's been or weeks since that 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:06.360 injury occurred? 0:07:06.380 --> 0:07:08.380 I mean, the season started, what, October 1st, and he 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:10.680 got hurt in that preseason game. So it's been about 0:07:10.700 --> 0:07:10.900 a month. 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.440 Okay, it's been about a month. And so my source 0:07:13.460 --> 0:07:14.660 had told me they thought it would be about a 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:17.140 two to three week. I think it was like four. 0:07:17.170 --> 0:07:19.110 I mean, if he skates and comes back, we don't 0:07:19.140 --> 0:07:20.690 know exactly when that will be, but that would be 0:07:20.790 --> 0:07:27.450 a bonus for the hometown five or six. Five forward, center, 0:07:27.470 --> 0:07:30.440 two forwards. Yeah, six guys on the ice. Unless you're 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.220 losing late. Well, then you do have six because you 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.600 pull the goalie, you have six skaters. I know all 0:07:35.620 --> 0:07:40.970 these things about sports. Now I owe Rose and money, too. And, 0:07:40.980 --> 0:07:43.390 you know, I probably, you know, I just wanted, you know, 0:07:43.410 --> 0:07:45.170 it was one of those knee-jerk things. I just wanted 0:07:45.190 --> 0:07:47.530 to bet, bet, bet, bet, bet, bet. Because I did, 0:07:47.870 --> 0:07:50.590 I enjoyed watching Milwaukee win. Though, again, I didn't see 0:07:50.610 --> 0:07:53.980 it to the very end. TV is very hypnotic for me. 0:07:54.010 --> 0:07:56.920 It puts me to sleep. Much like the Grum puts 0:07:56.960 --> 0:08:01.440 listeners to sleep and much like Kevin O'Connell's news conference 0:08:01.500 --> 0:08:07.880 puts talk show hosts to sleep, so did that baseball game. 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.430 And congratulations to the Milwaukee Brewers as they win their 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:14.110 first ever World Series title. You know, Paul Molitor, I think, 0:08:14.130 --> 0:08:16.090 did he throw out the first pitch in game two? 0:08:16.550 --> 0:08:19.690 Molly was there. Do people realize how good Molly is 0:08:20.030 --> 0:08:22.010 or was? I mean, you know, he's a Hall of Famer. 0:08:22.050 --> 0:08:22.550 We know that. 0:08:22.970 --> 0:08:23.890 I'm guessing the kids don't. 0:08:24.050 --> 0:08:27.140 No, I mean... My word, what a player he was. 0:08:27.380 --> 0:08:28.920 You know, one of us from St. Paul, you know, 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:32.560 that must be something in the water. They always joked 0:08:32.580 --> 0:08:37.440 about it because you had Winfield, Molitor, Morris, and Maurer, 0:08:37.540 --> 0:08:40.180 all from basically that same section of St. Paul, all 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:45.260 went on to Hall of Fame careers. All baseball too, right? 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:45.439 Right. 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:49.199 Though Winfield could have played, apparently he could if he wanted. 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:51.320 And Joe could have maybe played quarterback had he continued 0:08:51.340 --> 0:08:53.920 because he was, wasn't he quarterback at Florida or did 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:56.140 Florida want him as a quarterback? I think that's what 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:57.000 it was. I don't remember. 0:08:57.020 --> 0:08:57.610 Florida State. 0:08:57.730 --> 0:09:00.050 Florida, one of the two. Florida, Florida State. Either he 0:09:00.090 --> 0:09:02.350 did play quarterback or they wanted him to play quarterback 0:09:02.390 --> 0:09:03.310 and he chose baseball. 0:09:03.370 --> 0:09:04.010 Yeah, he didn't go there. 0:09:04.670 --> 0:09:10.750 And so he chose baseball. And Winfield, same thing. He 0:09:10.770 --> 0:09:13.819 was a three-sport star. He could have played hoops. I 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:15.740 think he got drafted in hoops. I don't know if 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:17.680 he ever got drafted in the NFL. I think he 0:09:17.700 --> 0:09:19.670 was drafted in hoops. That was the days where they 0:09:19.710 --> 0:09:22.469 had something like the San Diego Surfers or something like that, 0:09:22.510 --> 0:09:24.890 an ABA dirt. I don't remember. It just seems like 0:09:25.150 --> 0:09:28.290 it was a long, long time ago. Long, long time ago. 0:09:29.620 --> 0:09:33.819 That was the day the music died. Yeah, so Brewers win. 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:37.280 They win their first. We've got two. We've got one 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:42.069 more than Milwaukee. I kind of like Milwaukee's chances to 0:09:42.110 --> 0:09:44.910 win another one before we do. But, you know, that could, 0:09:44.929 --> 0:09:49.679 you know what, we've targeted free agents. You know, I 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:51.520 guess I'm naive. I guess I should have known better. 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:55.280 I looked at a Fish Rap Factory West, Bobby Nightingale, 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:57.290 who's the beat writer, does a great job for the 0:09:57.290 --> 0:09:59.620 Fish wrap factory west side i think it was bobby's 0:09:59.660 --> 0:10:02.479 story about you know free agent targets for the fight 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:06.490 for the twins i'd never heard of any of these 0:10:06.510 --> 0:10:08.530 guys i was kind of hoping for a little bit 0:10:08.570 --> 0:10:10.770 of an you know i mean kind of like maybe 0:10:10.809 --> 0:10:14.010 just have one splash and like saying know we got 0:10:14.050 --> 0:10:16.150 our eyes on aaron judge or you know not him 0:10:16.170 --> 0:10:17.849 i'm just throwing out the names i don't know many 0:10:17.890 --> 0:10:19.590 baseball players but you know somebody that's got a little 0:10:19.610 --> 0:10:21.350 bit like maybe it's a name that you know yeah 0:10:21.410 --> 0:10:24.340 right exactly you go whoa really could we really get 0:10:24.390 --> 0:10:27.000 that guy and it's a matter of fact it seemed 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.440 like the one guy that we might have our our 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:31.400 sights set on we had him before his last name 0:10:31.420 --> 0:10:34.780 is france did you see that ty france yeah apparently 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:37.900 since he's left he's been like ty cop I mean, 0:10:38.179 --> 0:10:41.620 forget Ty France. He's like, he hit like three 21. 0:10:41.620 --> 0:10:43.329 He drove in runs. He's doing everything. 0:10:43.380 --> 0:10:44.050 Gold gloves. 0:10:44.110 --> 0:10:46.610 And we had them at one time. We had them 0:10:46.650 --> 0:10:48.210 in our organized. We let them out of the building. 0:10:48.230 --> 0:10:50.609 Just like, just like we let Darnell out of the building. So, 0:10:51.170 --> 0:10:53.870 but I'll, you know, you know, Hey, you make a mistake. Sometimes, 0:10:54.030 --> 0:10:56.040 you know, it is what it is. Sometimes you just 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:58.540 have to fess up to it, own it, and then 0:10:58.580 --> 0:10:59.920 go back and get them. So I'd do it. I'll 0:10:59.960 --> 0:11:00.540 take anybody. 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:02.040 So that's what you're saying with Kirk Cousins then too. 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:08.420 Well, let's not get carried away. Um, And I'm not 0:11:08.460 --> 0:11:10.450 really afraid of the money, though, as part of it. 0:11:10.830 --> 0:11:13.230 That's been all this conversation all along. When I bring 0:11:13.270 --> 0:11:15.410 up Darnold, well, we didn't want to pay him the 0:11:15.470 --> 0:11:19.030 money because we wanted to have McCarthy instead. The money 0:11:19.429 --> 0:11:22.309 that we didn't spend on Darnold, we could spend on 0:11:22.330 --> 0:11:24.290 other positions. And I know that's the way sports works. 0:11:29.910 --> 0:11:32.970 We've talked about it forever. Ideally, you'd like to draft 0:11:33.010 --> 0:11:35.510 a young quarterback who's brilliant for the first four years 0:11:35.530 --> 0:11:39.040 of his career. Like the kid for the Bears. Looks 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:40.780 like he's, you know, that first year was a bit 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:43.240 of a struggle. Last year was pretty darn good. This 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:45.880 year he looks really good again. Who else is in 0:11:45.900 --> 0:11:46.360 that mix? 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:46.699 Nix. 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:47.020 No. 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:48.570 Is it Nix? Nix is in the mix. 0:11:48.590 --> 0:11:50.690 Has he been playing pretty well since being drafted? 0:11:51.429 --> 0:11:53.650 I mean, since being drafted, yes. He's had a little 0:11:53.670 --> 0:11:54.829 bit of struggles this year. Okay. 0:11:55.690 --> 0:11:58.610 And then Jaden Daniels paid dividends right away, right? 0:11:58.630 --> 0:11:59.130 He did. 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.100 He got worsened. Did they get to the NFC Championship 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:05.730 game his first year? Either that or deep into the playoffs. So, yeah, 0:12:05.750 --> 0:12:07.500 that's what you want. But it's not a perfect world 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:10.200 out there, Tenneby. We've got plenty to get to today. 0:12:10.220 --> 0:12:15.240 Pick at the purple other side of the break. 5-3-4, 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:18.300 top of the hour. Rosen makes an early appearance. He'll 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:20.660 be at 130. Why? Because Deuce will be with us 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:24.970 as well. Spread swing.

It's at Penn, and it's blocking 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:57.940 a right lane. Things are looking a little heavy from Lindale. 0:12:57.940 --> 0:13:03.680 494...

Just received a text message from Nick 0:13:39.090 --> 0:13:40.470 at Affordable Electric. It says. 0:13:42.050 --> 0:13:45.140 Came in at 12.05. I'm with a customer named Corey 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:48.439 out in Prior Lake wiring up a receptacle. We're listening 0:13:48.460 --> 0:13:51.000 to you on the radio. Everything's working. He heard our 0:13:51.100 --> 0:13:55.300 advertising from you. Thank you. He said you're a dork. LOL. Well, 0:13:55.340 --> 0:14:01.120 I am a dork. And that's okay, too.

Oh, ow! shockingly affordable. Nothing really 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:16.860 new that I saw on the Western Front with the Purple. 0:15:16.900 --> 0:15:20.120 Anything that piqued your curiosity? Speaking of piquing the Purple, 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:23.320 we're making a trade for Jonathan Taylor. I think he's 0:15:23.340 --> 0:15:25.000 going to be in Purple sometime soon. Are you going 0:15:25.020 --> 0:15:27.800 to make a blockbuster for the interior offensive line, or 0:15:28.570 --> 0:15:30.030 is it all quiet on the Western Front? 0:15:30.050 --> 0:15:33.730 Nothing new from the Purple, but their division opponent, the 0:15:33.750 --> 0:15:37.170 team right behind them, the Chicago Bears, made a blockbuster 0:15:37.210 --> 0:15:40.940 trade today. They acquired... All pro defensive tackle, Jeff Simmons. 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:44.040 They gave up two ones, and then I think they 0:15:44.060 --> 0:15:46.340 had a fourth, fifth round swap for Jeff Simmons. 0:15:46.780 --> 0:15:49.720 Two ones? Well, how good is Jeff Simmons? He must 0:15:49.780 --> 0:15:51.160 be off the charts good, right? 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:52.220 All pro defensive tackle. 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:55.320 Yeah. I mean, I know the name. I'm not going to... 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:58.520 Rosen will say he's watched him. Watched him in college, 0:15:58.590 --> 0:16:00.570 knows all about him. I don't know much about him 0:16:00.610 --> 0:16:06.750 other than I've heard the name. Well, that's a team that's... Obviously, 0:16:06.790 --> 0:16:11.200 the Bears at 5-2 with a high-powered offense that they have, 0:16:12.220 --> 0:16:17.880 with a coach that feels pretty good about himself. When 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:23.970 he sets goals, they're lofty. He said he wanted to 0:16:23.990 --> 0:16:26.110 have the highest scoring offense in the history of the 0:16:26.150 --> 0:16:29.330 National Football League. The National Football League has been around 0:16:29.350 --> 0:16:31.470 a long time now. I don't think they were scoring 0:16:31.490 --> 0:16:33.510 very much back in the 20s, but still he wants 0:16:33.550 --> 0:16:35.850 to have... And so when you have those kinds of 0:16:35.930 --> 0:16:38.430 aspirations and your team is as good as they are, 0:16:39.430 --> 0:16:41.720 making blockbuster trades to help you on the defense or 0:16:41.750 --> 0:16:45.060 offensive or whatever, wherever you feel you could use some help, 0:16:45.660 --> 0:16:49.880 that's what you need to do. That's why there's been conversations. Rosen, 0:16:50.060 --> 0:16:52.720 who's plugged in, continues to insist that the Vikings will 0:16:52.740 --> 0:16:55.470 make a deal. He's pretty confident of that. Or at 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:57.030 least they are. 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:01.760 They are rattling the cages of other teams. And I 0:17:02.100 --> 0:17:04.700 think most people feel like running back would be, and 0:17:05.869 --> 0:17:07.469 I know the fans would like to have a new quarterback. 0:17:08.070 --> 0:17:10.629 I get that, but that's, you know, I really, you 0:17:10.670 --> 0:17:12.790 and I have discussed this yesterday and a couple of times, 0:17:12.830 --> 0:17:17.530 it's hard to find a high functioning quarterback. You know, 0:17:17.750 --> 0:17:23.880 one of those, you know, that makes your, makes your 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:27.000 eyes pop open, right? Like with Simmons, you know, whoa, 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:31.230 all pro defensive attack. I don't think that, that, that the, 0:17:31.310 --> 0:17:33.919 the equivalent in quarterback is going to be available anywhere. Um, 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:38.880 Unless it was, like you mentioned yesterday, if the Chargers 0:17:38.940 --> 0:17:42.730 feel like we're 0-6, terrible team, terrible city, terrible fans, 0:17:42.770 --> 0:17:45.369 terrible stadium. The Herbert thing just has never worked how 0:17:45.410 --> 0:17:47.390 we wanted it to work. Maybe it's time to start over. 0:17:47.890 --> 0:17:49.650 I guess he could be available, but I just don't 0:17:49.670 --> 0:17:51.510 see the Vikings making that kind of a move. So 0:17:52.100 --> 0:17:54.300 I think if it is, it would be right. And look, 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:56.220 I'm not opposed to upgrading the running back room. I 0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:57.939 was never that high on it to begin with. I 0:17:57.980 --> 0:18:00.560 got to be honest with you. Though I was hoping 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:04.990 more from Mason Jennings. Jennings Mason. 0:18:05.010 --> 0:18:05.490 Jordan Mason. 0:18:05.510 --> 0:18:08.670 Jordan Mason. Who's Mason Jennings? 0:18:09.540 --> 0:18:11.300 The singer? Or is that Waylon Jennings? 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:13.639 I think you're thinking of Waylon Jennings. And you were 0:18:13.660 --> 0:18:17.060 thinking of Mason Williams. Mason Williams is who I was 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:21.720 thinking of. I think... Didn't he do classical gas? I 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:27.460 don't know. Meat sauce. He soiled himself. So, you know, 0:18:27.530 --> 0:18:27.920 and then. 0:18:29.550 --> 0:18:32.550 I mean, I've asked a couple of people that... Follow 0:18:32.570 --> 0:18:35.490 the Vikings closely in the media. Just won't mention any names. 0:18:35.510 --> 0:18:39.869 Mason Williams is a classical guitarist, composer, singer, writer, comedian, poet. 0:18:40.630 --> 0:18:44.800 Best known for his 1968 instrumental Classical Gas. And has 0:18:44.859 --> 0:18:47.800 worked as a comedy writer on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, 0:18:47.859 --> 0:18:49.960 the Glen Campbell Good Time Hour, and Saturday Night Live. 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:52.300 I had no idea he was a comedy writer. But 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:53.800 I do know he had the one hit, I had 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:58.540 it on 45. I bet you've heard it. Just because 0:18:58.660 --> 0:19:01.270 even though it was in 1968, it was played so much. 0:19:01.290 --> 0:19:03.470 It won three Grammy Awards. 0:19:03.510 --> 0:19:03.810 Yeah. 0:19:05.590 --> 0:19:06.690 Sold over a million copies. 0:19:06.710 --> 0:19:10.530 Yeah. I had one of them. I think I shoplifted mine, though. 0:19:10.550 --> 0:19:14.030 I don't think I bought it. I think I shoplifted it. 0:19:14.090 --> 0:19:17.740 But that's a whole other story itself. So, yeah. And 0:19:18.140 --> 0:19:20.240 the people I talk to, the people I trust, they 0:19:20.260 --> 0:19:22.659 think the interior of the Vikings offensive line needs a 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:24.540 lot of help. And it kind of seems like they do. 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:24.619 So. 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:30.520 You know, those, and when you're 6-0, I don't think 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:33.369 you can stay on path. I don't. You know, and 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:36.030 that sounds strange when you go, well, you know, the old, 0:19:36.210 --> 0:19:38.450 if it ain't broke, don't fix it. If you're 6-0, 0:19:38.490 --> 0:19:41.170 you're the only unbeaten team in pro football. Your mama 0:19:41.190 --> 0:19:43.310 can't score on you. Your daddy can't score on you. 0:19:43.330 --> 0:19:46.810 The police can't score on you. Very often, anyways, why. 0:19:46.670 --> 0:19:47.190 Would you want it? 0:19:47.210 --> 0:19:50.340 Well, because what does Chad Abbott always like to say? 0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:52.380 I just roll my eyes, shrug my shoulder and shake 0:19:52.420 --> 0:19:54.040 my head when he says this. He always does the old, 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:57.899 in his best Vince Lombardi, he's got a picture of 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:00.380 Vince Lombardi in his office, right? And which I don't, 0:20:00.540 --> 0:20:04.660 why would you have a, why would you have A packer. Yeah, 0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:07.899 a packer. Home of the Vikings. Yeah, we're the home 0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:11.040 of the Vikings. Have some from Bud Grant. Bud's famous 0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:15.700 one was, availability is the best ability, or something like that. Durability. 0:20:16.660 --> 0:20:17.710 Or have one from Mike Tice. 0:20:17.869 --> 0:20:18.570 Feasibility. 0:20:18.590 --> 0:20:20.590 You live by the dog, you die by the dog. 0:20:20.609 --> 0:20:26.090 That's another one. Or, regardless of what night you play, 0:20:26.130 --> 0:20:27.230 Monday night, Tuesday. 0:20:26.950 --> 0:20:27.429 Night, but. 0:20:30.270 --> 0:20:32.850 Good is the enemy of great. Have you ever heard 0:20:32.869 --> 0:20:33.290 him say that? 0:20:33.450 --> 0:20:34.150 Oh yeah, all the time. 0:20:35.130 --> 0:20:36.550 Good is the enemy of great. 0:20:37.470 --> 0:20:39.379 So we have a really... What's the enemy of great? 0:20:41.960 --> 0:20:49.020 Spectacular, I guess. I don't know. But I would say 0:20:49.060 --> 0:20:53.449
