WEBVTT - HR. 3 - Super Troopers 3 0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:02.520 We got Vikings news, but there's not a lot of 0:00:02.600 --> 0:00:05.400 Vikings news. You know, we're just we're what twenty days away, 0:00:05.519 --> 0:00:06.600 nineteen days eighteen. 0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:10.920 School eighteen from rookies reporting, and I'm pretty sure, as 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:12.720 you said the other day, i think we're a week 0:00:12.840 --> 0:00:15.280 out from the Patriots reporting to camp. 0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:16.560 It's happening, guys, let's go. 0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:18.799 It's happening. We're back happening. 0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:22.720 So thank you to Radcoe for bringing his Viking news. 0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:24.120 As soon as we have a lot or a little, 0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:26.280 we will bring it all to you. And tomorrow former 0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:29.600 Viking great and former go for great Marcus Cheryl's in studio. 0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:32.640 I was excited about that man. Yeah, I mean, what 0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:36.360 a great player and what a great guy. I can't 0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:37.839 wait for you guys to spend some time with him 0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:39.600 and listen to him. Tomorrow, so he'll be in the 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:41.360 ben will be here, and I think Tommy's coming into it. 0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:44.840 I'm guessing Tommy's hearing right now for the first time 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:46.319 that Marcus Cheryl's is going to be in here. 0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:46.600 Yeah. 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:49.880 Probably, yeah, screaming because he loves that guy. 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:52.040 He does. Yeah, yeah, that whole fanly that'll be great. 0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:56.080 But real quick, Mark, I was talking more about the 0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:58.240 college experience that his daughter is about the experience, and 0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:00.880 she signed up. She's going to a to Iowa by 0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:04.880 the way. Uh go park ohawkey, yep, right, Parker. Hmmm, 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:09.720 if you could go back and change anything about your 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:12.520 freshman year of college, oh wow, what would you change? 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:14.240 What did you do wrong? What do you wish you 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:15.640 had known then that you know? Now? 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:17.759 That's such a tough question, right. 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:20.360 It's different because you're a basketball player, obviously, I can 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:22.520 only imagine what your life must have been like immediately. 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:24.880 I think it's tough for the freshmen, especially like a 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:28.320 big school like Iowa, right, or like Wisconsin that has 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:31.040 these like, you know, party and bar scenes. Like you're 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:34.520 eighteen nineteen. You know, unless you have a fake idea, 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:35.800 you're not getting into any bars. 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:39.080 So that's uh. I know Dad probably doesn't want. 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:43.959 To hear that, but I think, like that's obviously like 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.720 the school, everything's important, right, Like, but I think just 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:50.200 like immersing yourself in you know, the college atmosphere, you know, 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:52.960 and just like, you know, being able to be independent 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:55.640 and live on your own and go do fun things 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:57.760 and not sit in your dorm room all day, Like 0:01:57.800 --> 0:01:59.920 that's what I but I was always that way, so 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:03.160 I wouldn't change that aspect of it. But yeah, I 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:05.040 mean we were busy with basketball, man, Like we couldn't 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:06.520 really do a whole lot. We were on the road 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:08.600 and we had practices and everything like that. So that's 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:10.760 I always wonder, like, what does the average student do 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:13.040 during the day when I'm at practice or in the 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.080 training room or you know, doing whatever. 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:17.600 So I don't know, focusing on our school boy maybe. 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:19.920 Yeah it's interesting. Yeah, yeah, that isn't great because you 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:22.000 had a very same situation, Mark. 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:23.720 Yeah, yes, yeah, I know exactly that. 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.040 That was how hockey was too, and that was our 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:29.240 fraternity and yeah, I had to make sure we schedule 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:31.240 the time off for practice and to take care of 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:31.639 all that. 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:32.360 Uh. 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:34.840 And from what it sounds like though, this new generation, 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.160 the fake id's aren't that hard to come by. 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:39.760 No, definitely not. Yeah, not on campus. 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.160 You'll if you don't have one either, you could find 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:43.480 someone else that don't care for you. 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:46.760 I had, luckily, I had an older teammate from Chicago 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:49.800 that I looked a lot like sweet. 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:51.840 But I do think like we even got a lot 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:52.880 of I don't know about you, but. 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:53.920 Like I feel like I got a lot of free 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:56.080 time outside of basketball as well, and I was always 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.120 doing fun things and going to see stuff Like I 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:01.080 imagine like kids that don't have practice and you know, 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:02.600 aren't doing that kind of stuff, Like they got to 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:03.760 have a lot of time on their hands. 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:05.200 And it's the first time you're independent, you're right. 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:10.240 For your head. Yeah, But also I mean I I 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:13.639 do you guys remember that feeling of I am finally 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:15.720 crazy to make any decisions. 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:18.440 It's got to be one of the craziest moments in 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:19.200 your life. 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.840 And I think it's probably a little easier for the 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:25.000 athletes like Parker and I because once you get there, 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:27.079 you instantly have twenty twenty five. 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:29.280 Yeah, friends of all ages, right that. 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:31.440 Their seniors all the way up or freshmen all the 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:34.600 way up to seniors. So yeah, everyone else, it's truly 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:37.360 introducing yourself, you know, So. 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:39.080 You have a structure too. 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.360 Yeah, that's why, you know, like for sure, that's why 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:43.320 a lot of college because especially at first, you kind 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.240 of go crazy because like three months before that, you 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:46.880 were raising your hand to go to the bathroom. 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:52.680 Yeah, that's a great point. I was just saying about 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:54.920 being able to make your own choices for the first 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:57.400 time in your life. Yeah, that whole idea. Like, and 0:03:57.760 --> 0:03:59.720 I didn't have the college experience that you guys did. 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:01.840 I into a little, tiny broadcasting school, so I was 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:03.680 still living at home when I was going to school. 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:08.480 But that moment when you realize I can legitimately do 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.360 anything I want. There's no one to tell me I 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.360 can't do anything I want. The freedom is unbelievable. 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:17.000 There no more dad yelling at me to get some sleep. Yeah, 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:20.720 right right. Yeah, that is interesting about the friend thing. 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:22.480 I didn't even think about it that way, Like you 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:25.600 got kids from and you said it like freshmen to seniors. 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:27.400 The guys have been around, you know the school and 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:29.279 know how things work. Like when you come as a freshman, 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:31.080 you have no idea how things work, especially in a 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:32.040 huge campus. 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:33.800 Like ioways a lot going on. 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:36.880 Yeah, that is something. And you just mentioned it as well, 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:38.840 Perish when we were over here. Some of your best 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:42.520 friends of your life you've met. I missed that, and 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:46.880 I think that's why I don't have friends. 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:57.040 Yeah, well God cares about it. That is so that 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.680 shared experience must really be a bonding thing, man, really be. 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:04.400 Something you and you you met my best friend from 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:05.320 college jails. 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:06.600 Yeah, man, two days ago. 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.200 Yeah, And as I was saying back there, he is 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:12.000 the reason that I came on this show. Crazy, because 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:13.680 when I first retired, there was no. 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:15.680 Way I was going to get up before nine am. 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:18.680 And I kind of told him that that you had 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:20.840 invited me on, and he looked at me like I 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:24.200 had three heads and couldn't understand why I hadn't run 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:26.000 to you guys, And I get it. 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:29.039 Now, that's crazy, But I did not know that that's crazy. 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:29.720 That's cool. 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:32.000 Do you guys remember, by the way, I suddenly out 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:33.839 of nowhere as I log into my email here, what 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:37.400 do you guys know? It takes forty five minutes. I 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:40.200 had no Vikings news until right now, because you guys 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:42.040 remember a couple of weeks ago when we were on 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:45.680 the air talking about Alec Lewis and he had a 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:49.120 Vikings poll. The results just came out. Hell yeah, I 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:51.480 just got the notification of my email. So now I'm 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:53.120 logging in so I can open it up to see 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.120 what fans of the Minnesota Vikings think. According to The 0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:00.560 Athletic and our friend Alec Lewis, here we go. The 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:06.279 headline says, that's a cool picture. Vikings Fan survey results 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:09.440 less confidence makes twenty twenty six a big year for 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:11.200 Kevin O'Connor. That's the headline. 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:13.240 Yes, correct, Yeah. 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:15.440 By the way, there's a giant picture of Vikings fans 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:18.760 doing the school chant. I have never, one time ever 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:21.480 looked at a picture like this and found somebody I know, 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.880 and that always freaks me out. I can't believe, Like, 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:26.360 I know, there's a lot of people in that's Dame 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:27.719 and there's a lot of people in the world. But 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:29.800 don't you expect that, like, oh, there's Jim and you 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:30.560 never see Jim. 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:32.960 I thought you were going to say you've never done 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:34.800 the school chant, and I was going to correct you 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:36.679 because there was about a year and a half period 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:42.000 where John Kriesel would do it everywhere everywhere. He would 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.719 just start doing in a buffalo wild wins in the 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:46.359 middle of try to. 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:48.960 Get people to join them. Oh yeah, and it would, 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.120 yeah you would. Yeah, it's a sufire way to get 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.240 the crowd. Yeah the school yes, yep. 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:59.280 And he loved asking people if they were having had time. Yeah. 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:01.120 This is a hard to read the results of this 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.000 because it's a if you guys remember the like the 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:07.400 question would say, what is your confidence level that the 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:10.760 team's quarterback will be much improved? In twenty twenty five 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:12.520 one to five? 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.120 Is this when Saucy used decimal points? Yes? 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:17.840 Yes, like I said, you're not allowed to do that, right, 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:19.600 But here you go, who do you want to be 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:22.960 the Viking starter? In twenty twenty six, three thousand people 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.320 responded to that question, and sixty nine percent of them 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:26.680 said they wanted to be Kyler Murray. 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:30.560 Wow, yeah, yeah, makes sense, Yeah, it makes sense. It 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:32.320 should be not higher. 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:35.560 But the next question, if you remember, who do you 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:38.320 want to be the Vikings quarterback of the future? Fifty 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.080 five percent said JJ McCarthy. 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:45.280 Well how many times does Zacho vote? Yeah? Well, correct 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:51.600 created faking never works so hard, hacks Elverson sixty nine. 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:55.600 Which position group concerns you the most? Not even close? 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:57.440 Thirty five percent said quarterback. 0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:05.040 Yeah, that's a tough spot though. Second defensive vents say offensive. 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:09.000 Line, cornerback, cornerback, cornerback that offensive line, but cornerback is 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.440 definitely the second answer. I think that's yeah, for sure, 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.840 I think it is as well. But quarterback thirty five percent. 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:18.040 Quarterback twenty two percent said cornerback. So you go, besides quarterback, 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:21.200 what is the area you're most curious about the twenty 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:24.000 twenty six team? And they say running game? 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:25.040 Yeah that's right. 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:29.280 Yeah, that's the number one answer. Besides Justin Jefferson? Who 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:31.880 is your favorite Vikings player? Who do you think? People said, 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:35.080 and it's a giant margin, by forty two percent of 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:39.280 people said this was their favorite Viking outside of Justin Jefferson, 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:40.600 according to tell. 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:41.840 Us van Ginkle. 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:47.160 But tell Us was one two three four O'Neill Van Ginkle. 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:49.720 Brian's the best. Yes, he's such a nice game. 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:54.200 Brian was one two three four five six. Okay, somebody 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.400 just said around van Ginkle, Yeah, forty two percent of 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:01.760 the people said, and they sure, how about this the 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:04.920 number two answer? Almost twenty percent of people said, will record? 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:09.680 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I thought that love that. He's the 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:13.520 best kicker in the NFL. Kicker confidence. 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:16.160 Oh so it goes Andrew veng gig again by a 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:19.080 large margin, and then will record than Dallas Turner. 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:21.880 D Yeah, I hope he is a big I hope. 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.280 So man. People want him to be great, Yeah, people 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:25.200 want him to be great. 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:28.240 He can turn that corner man, He's got the skill 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:29.559 of just putting it all together. 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:31.840 He's got to built like a blank, blank house. 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:32.760 Yeah, he's huge. 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:36.640 Josh Un Tels was fourth, Christian Darrisaw was fifth, Brian O'Neil, 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:41.480 then Blake Cashman and then Jalen Redman, Jordan Addison, Aaron 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:43.400 Jones and Tjhawks. 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:47.440 You know, the one thing Sad can't wait. 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:49.839 You know, the one thing that is kind of under 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:53.000 the radar because we talk a ton about the quarterback 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:55.880 position is Caleb Banks his health. 0:09:56.840 --> 0:10:00.520 Because that's a huge thing that, like. 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:03.679 You know, we're all concerned and rightfully so, about the quarterback. 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:07.960 If Caleb Banks isn't ready or starts, which we will 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:10.280 know in a week or two, if he starts on 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:13.120 the pup list, I know that doesn't ye. I know 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:15.000 that means he can still play and all that and 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:17.160 he can come off at any time. But that's not 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:18.920 a good sign. Right we haven't seen him, but he 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:22.520 hasn't practiced all off season, and they said. 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:23.439 They'd hoped he'd be ready. 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:25.360 That kind of got lost in the shuffle right after 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.560 the draft when Koc said, definitely, he hopes he's ready 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:29.760 for training camp. 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:31.640 You can't take a guy eighteenth. 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:35.560 Overall, that doesn't plays unless it's like a Chad Greenway 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:38.839 bit because he got he got injured, but like he's 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:40.160 got to be a big factor. 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:42.240 He just has to be got to be healthy. 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.800 And I believe in our medical staff. I say, I 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:47.720 believe there. They would not have wasted the first round pick. 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:51.720 On his surgery with March ninth. Yeah, okay, yeah, also. 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:54.079 Extra pressure just because people were kind of disappointed with 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:55.360 the defensive year. 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:57.520 That pick shocked a lot of people. 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:04.840 If he's not good, Citrus, there's also that yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:12.160 We have big Citrus, Big Citrus. Which NFC North opponent 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:14.880 are you most afraid of in twenty twenty six? The Bears? 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.600 Yeah, they're they're loaded. 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:19.040 Yeah, they're terrible. 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:21.199 You hate the Bears. 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:23.080 Least in the NFL. 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:26.640 It's because of the fans, right yeah, yeah, you hate Chicago. 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:31.439 I don't need Chicago, you know what. I hate Philly more. Yeah, yeah, 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.640 but the Chicago fans on Earth, the Chicago fans are 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:41.360 often they have a big ego, yeah, with no reason 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.720 about their team. Even when their team isn't good, they 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:46.760 act like they are and it drives me crazy, but 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:48.320 it's cool. It's one of it's one of those like 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:51.400 with Philly, I legitimately don't like those people with Chicago, 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:53.559 I like not liking them, you know what I mean? 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:56.640 Yeah, yeah, right, yeah, And it's good when the division 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:58.800 is good, of course, and. 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:00.959 It's going to be a good division. Yeah, the Bears, 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.520 the lines of Packers, the Vikings, we all four could 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:05.680 be I tell you right now, I believe any of 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:07.319 those four teams could win this division. 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.640 For sure, the best division football. Yeah. Yeah. 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:15.400 How about this? Do you feel the Vikings organization respects 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:19.720 and values to you as a fan? Eighty nine percent 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:24.200 almost ninety percent said which one? Yes or no? Yes, 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:25.880 that's correct. 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:26.120 Yes. 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:28.640 Ninety percent said that's a good man, you know what, 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.200 heads up and the thumbs up to all the people 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:33.480 down there in the organization, because Viking stands feel like 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.080 you respect you and that's great. But how about this? 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:40.200 Do you consider Vikings ticket prices to be affordable? Seventy 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:43.240 two percent almost said no, they're not affordable, But I 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:47.959 don't necessarily think that's the Viking's fault. The ticket price 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.800 is what the ticket price across the NFL. Yeah, you know, 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:51.760 all pro sports. 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:55.840 Yeah, but it's kind of this, it's like similar but different. 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:57.280 Being an apologist for them by saying that, do you. 0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:00.360 Think no, I mean it is, it's tough, but I 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:03.160 mean most I would say outside of the even the 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:05.200 Temberls tickets are going out, but I would say outside 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.040 of the Temprels are the Twins. It's tough to get 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.520 a ticket in general in town. And it's kind of 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:13.640 the same thing with concerts in a totally different way, 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:17.840 where it's like if people are consistently paying that, like, yeah, 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:21.080 I hate it that every single concert's five hundred dollars now, 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:25.400 but a million people are due are willing to pay that, 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:26.800 and they're going to keep paying it. So if you're 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:29.480 the artist, you're like, okay, yeah, I'm going to keep 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:32.120 charging that. So it's like like there's never a game 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:34.520 that's not sold out at us Bank Stadium. 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:36.560 That's not how much say how much say does like 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:37.600 an artist have in that? 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:39.560 I think they have a lot to say because I 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:44.199 remember j Cole pretty significant artists. I remember he had 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:47.040 like dollar tickets, you know, so I know it's it's 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:49.360 it's a little bit different thing with the artists where 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:50.040 they could choose. 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:50.760 Yeah. 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.600 It honestly though from at least from what I've been 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:55.400 involved in, you can't. I mean really, yeah, I know. 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:58.360 The there's a certain amount that is a minimum that 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:02.480 every venue demands you charge. And then if Ticketmasters involved 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:05.360 and it's a high it's a high demand ticket, they 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:07.760 raised the prices. The demand goes up, and you have 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:09.880 and by I've told the story before, I'm sorry for 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:11.839 repeating myself. Guys, but we played the Varsity, and I 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.240 hate to single them out. I love the Varsity. Wasn't 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:16.760 there for at all, loved the Varsity. But we did 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:21.280 a CD release party at at the Varsity with Rocket 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:24.240 Club and we put the tickets on sale, and the 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:27.040 tickets started selling, and I started getting texts from people going, 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:28.440 my god, why are you guys charging so much for 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:31.600 the tickets. I'm like, we're not. This is and they 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:34.000 showed me what they paid for the tickets and it 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:38.920 was about thirty dollars more than the initial released price was. 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:41.880 And so there's a an ai thing within Ticketmaster that 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:44.640 if it's a hot ticket, raises the price automatically. 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:46.360 That's ridiculous. It wasn't a. 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:48.280 Pearl Jam in the nineties, like they were trying to 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:49.840 find their career. 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:54.040 Yeah, yeah, yeah, it just it sucks because it feels 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:57.800 like everything these days, from video games to sporting events. 0:14:58.120 --> 0:14:58.840 Three four. 0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:04.160 Yeah, to bring it up again, it's becoming a more 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:06.800 of a high end thing, you know. It's it's you 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.120 have to be in a certain tax brack at a 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:12.520 certain level of you know, economic status, whole family, right, Yeah, 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:14.560 Like I remember we were broke as out. I still 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:17.720 had a PlayStation, but these days it's legit close to 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:19.840 one thousand dollars if you want to get a PlayStation 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:21.640 in a couple of games, and crazy, I have another 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:22.680 controller to play with the friend. 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.960 Everything has to balance itself out again because because the 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:28.760 problem is not just that the ticket prices are high. 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:31.680 The ticket prices are so high for specifically concerts that 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:33.600 you can't go to ten concerts. You have to choose 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:35.240 the one you want to go to, right, and that 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:36.120 hurts everybody. 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:40.040 Yeah, and it's for artists that aren't even established yet. 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:41.880 It might be their first tour, yeah for sure, And 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:44.840 it's already three hundred plus dollars or four hundred dollars. 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:46.040 You can go to Europe. 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:50.360 Crazy, as I said, decent seats for my favorite band 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:54.360 on their website where there aren't Ticketmaster fees. We're two 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:57.640 to h five apiece and they weren't great seats two 0:15:57.840 --> 0:15:59.400 hundred and five dollars apiece. 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:00.880 It's ridiculous. 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:03.160 Yeah, yeah, again, I'm not saying this should be free, 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:04.600 and I know that it was to be paid. I 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:07.320 get all right, but it's got to be reasonable. It's 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:09.600 got to be. It has to be. And especially I 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:12.920 just hate it. Man. There are legitimately six different concerts 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:15.440 I want to go to at Mystic like Amphitheater. This 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:18.960 I even, ye, I'm very very lucky. I'm not going 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:20.920 to pay to go see all six of those. I 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.560 can't even if I could afford to, knowing how much 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:25.120 it is. I'm not going to pay that much money 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:27.680 to go to concerts. So I'm gonna choose two of them. 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.040 It's gonna be iron Maid, and it's gonna be John 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:37.400 Mellencamp probably but nice. Yeah right, yeah, I love Maiden 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:39.560 and there it's almost over for them. Man, you know, 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:41.880 I got to go stand all I can. By the way, 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:44.240 I got an email. I'm sorry, we were going to break. 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.440 I got an email from a listener. We talked about 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:48.840 Bob Dylan yesterday. Yeah, said he went to see that show. 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:50.680 Oh no, I believe it was in South Dakota a 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:53.840 couple of weeks ago and saw Bob Dylan. He said, 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:55.920 I'm a huge Bob Dylan fan. He said, he walked 0:16:55.960 --> 0:17:00.160 down stage. He played I think maybe twelve sixteenth or 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:02.600 something like that. He said, he only knew as a fan, 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:06.080 only knew a couple of them. He barely spoke to 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:08.919 the crowd, didn't sing very well and didn't do it 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:11.159 hardcore came on and left, and I'm like, why is 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:11.800 he doing it? 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:14.440 Yeah, I don't know, just stay home at that part. 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:17.119 Yeah, that was the Russian Rowdy tour that Gianna and 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:17.600 I went to. 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:22.360 Yeah, he threw in a couple uh. 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:24.359 No, no, no, it ain't me, babe, two lines in 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:26.320 that song in the middle of some other song that 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:27.600 you couldn't understand a word. 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:28.760 That was the point. 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:31.760 But it's just Bob Dylan being Bob Dylan. 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:31.959 Man. 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:33.640 He's just gonna play what he wants, right. 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:35.399 And that was the other point the gentleman made in 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:37.240 the email he sent me. He said, when he did 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:39.560 play a song, I recognized he didn't play it in 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:41.800 the correct way. He refurbished it. 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:46.440 Yes, it wasn't even playing. Yeah, everybody got so excited 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:46.879 for a couple of. 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:51.959
