Wow, so people Saint Martin 14 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 2: seemed to be a little irritated that we were there. 15 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 2: I don't know if that's a Dutch thing or not. 16 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 2: But Saint Thomas people were really nice. And Nasa I 17 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 2: loved us, you know, so it was fantastic. Man, just 18 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 2: to chill, totally unplug. You're on a boat, youet no 19 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 2: control over where you're going. You're not driving, you know, 20 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 2: but you've got restaurants and you've got theaters, and you've 21 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 2: got stuff to do on board. I went to a 22 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 2: Scotch tasting event and my brother found they were doing bingal. 23 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 2: They did bingo like three times during the cruise.

You know, meals were fantastic. 26 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 2: We know we went off script because you know, with 27 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 2: the all inclusive bit, you get to eat the main 28 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 2: dining hall, but if you want to try some of 29 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 2: the restaurants, it's kind of like you have to pay 30 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 2: for those. And we did that a couple of times. 31 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 2: Did a great seafood dinner, hit the Bochi grill Saturday night. 32 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 2: Great entertainment, you know, because with the bachi guys, you know, 33 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 2: they're really singing and playing with their knives and cracking joke. 34 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 2: So it was hot, soaky too, so it was good. 35 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 2: Only on anything irritated me was the I called him 36 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 2: Rhys rh wise, roaming hordes of us between like supervised kids, Yes, 37 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 2: between eight and eleven pm every night. All of a sudden, 38 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 2: they're traveling in packs of five and six. They're just 39 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 2: roaming the chip and nobody's safe. Goofed off. You know, 40 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 2: there's a one am curfew. I don't think that was 41 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 2: really enforced for kids under eighteen. It seemed like they 42 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 2: were hanging out. People are in hot tubs as late 43 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 2: as one am in the morning, you know. But there 44 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 2: was an adult only area too, where we spent a 45 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:55,399 Speaker 2: bunch of time at as well. 46 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 3: How would you know that that people were in the 47 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 3: hot tub until one. 48 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: Am because I was at one am and then you 49 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: were in unless you were in the hotel at one am. 50 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 2: And plus I discovered this there's a there's a center 51 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 2: on a ship. It's called a casino. And I discovered 52 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 2: the casino the second night. 53 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: Now that that's not part of the all inclusive, No, 54 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: it's not so, but I ended up closing it down 55 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: three or four times. 56 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 2: So, uh it was great because my sister and brother 57 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 2: aren't night all so by eleven o'clock midnight there they're 58 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 2: dozing offs.

So there are a couple of Bears fans around, 62 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 2: so we were kind of celebrating that. 63 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 3: You know. 64 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 2: There was an Eagles phantom board who got mad because 65 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 2: my brother had on the Bears jersey and he was like, 66 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 2: don't even look at me. You beat us, you know. 67 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 2: So some of that stuff was going hot. But it 68 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 2: was a great, great time. We're already talking about doing 69 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 2: another one. Don't know if we're going to do the 70 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 2: same one or a different part of Caribbean or maybe 71 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 2: mixing a little Mexico action. 72 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 3: We'll see. Was the first cruise, first cruise ever, and 73 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 3: I will say this, I've still never been on one. 74 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 3: I will say this, there. 75 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 2: Are definitely pros and cuts to getting the drink package. 76 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 3: Really yes, so uh uh they uh. 77 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 2: Fortunately, when I was looking at the list of booze 78 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 2: available on the drink package, Buffalo Trace bourbon was one 79 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 2: of us. Okay, I'm in now I can drink Buffalo Trace. 80 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 2: So my heart's content.

But now you're talking Buffalo trace. 97 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 2: Well you have children too, and that that sounds like 98 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,799 Speaker 2: because I have a buddy. His kids are just getting 99 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 2: the high school as now. I think they're just getting 100 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 2: in them.

And I don't know if 174 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: you watch like that Netflix show about when like the 175 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: sewer backed up on that on that cruise line. 176 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 2: Okay, that came out in twenty thirteen. Someone told me 177 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 2: about it while I was at the airport about the 178 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 2: flight of Miami to start the SEK triviago. So I 179 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 2: went on Netflix and I watched the documentary. 180 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 3: The Poop Cruise. It's called Poop Cruise, I think, so, yeah, 181 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 3: oh I was. I was on a Burrell That's right. 182 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 2: I was on a Burill Friday the day before I 183 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 2: was leaving and someone's like, well, you gotta watch the 184 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 2: Poop Cruise, and so I watched it. And I don't 185 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 2: know why I watched it because by the time I 186 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 2: ride in the Miami I'm thinking, Okay, what have to 187 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 2: happens to us? 188 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 3: What if the edge it goes out. It's a terrible 189 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 3: thing to watch. 190 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 2: Everything goes everything goes six and sevens and it's a mess, 191 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 2: you know, literally infigurely. So what that didn't happen here 192 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 2: got through without a terrible calamity occurring because there's like 193 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 2: five thousand people on this boat and there's two thousand workers. 194 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 3: That's ridiculous. 195 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: No, I know, I watched the Netflix special. I know 196 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: what could potentially happen, and that'd be awful. But it's 197 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: the ultimate rarity. Yeah, we can you see things like that. 198 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: You know, something goes viral online or something you can 199 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: somewhat trick yourself or scare yourself into thinking that that's 200 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: actually more normal than the point zero zero zero one 201 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: percent that it really is. But I'm glad you had fun, man, 202 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: and I'm glad it was around nine to thirty ish. 203 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,719 Speaker 1: I'm just curious you had that deluxe drink package. As 204 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: you mentioned when you sent a photo to Pa and I, 205 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: it was nine to thirty ish with the big old 206 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: stogy and I know what that meant, Go Bears. And 207 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: then there was a video I won't repeat you know 208 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: all the audio and the verbage that we used as 209 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: part of that. But there was a lot of excitement. 210 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: There was a lot of a lot of love coming 211 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: from your heart on a cruise that you were having 212 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: blast at while your Bears were finding their way to 213 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: being division champions and loving everything Bears our chair, you're 214 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: still loving everything Bears. 215 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 3: Kings of the North of my friend Kings of the 216 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 3: North Right. 217 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: Yes, So I gotta I gotta figure out best of 218 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: after the show. 219 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 2: So it's Football Feast at Egan Friday. It's at Egan, Okay, 220 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 2: we have right now. 221 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: I believe it's Chad Greenway the opening hour and then 222 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: we have and and I maybe you've met him Allen 223 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: Roach US State US Bank Stadium Vox. He does all 224 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: the superman I've never met Allen Roach. He first of all, 225 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: he's an awesome dude. And frankly, you know what I don't. 226 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: I don't always speak for PA, but I will in 227 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: this particular case. Why don't you drop by if you can, 228 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: I will find a way to chat it out. I'm 229 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: playing them swinging by because I feel like you and 230 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: I we and you would be aligned into this game, 231 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 1: as in, let's just beat on the Packers. 232 00:10:58,480 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 2: I do have a zoom call at noon, so I 233 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 2: have to work around that because Nicott Medvet's doing a 234 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 2: zoom call prior to the Gophers next couple of games. 235 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: Well, again, we're opening the ten am hour for it. 236 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 1: Maybe if you want to stop by before you get 237 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: to your zoom call. Okay, at noon, Lavelle, your Bears 238 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: are champs? Are you're still loving the Bears? 239 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 2: Yeah? Obviously they exceed the expectations. I was hoping they 240 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 2: get to nine. I thought that if they got the 241 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 2: nine wins would be great. But the Philadelphia victory kind 242 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 2: of started changing my mind about what was possible, and 243 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 2: just the way things have shaken out in the NFC 244 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 2: and with some of these other teams. You know, I 245 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 2: was like, Okay, if we get to eleven, we can 246 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 2: win the division. So I was I was now getting greedy. 247 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 2: I was like, I need two more wins, need to 248 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 2: more wins. So the Packer game, you know, uh, definitely 249 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 2: was a big one. 250 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 3: I don't think our defense is ready for prime time yet. 251 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 2: We tend to give up yards too tight ends and 252 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 2: slot receivers, and we need to get more pressure on 253 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 2: quarter But Dennis Allen's done to remarkable job with what 254 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 2: he's had to work with what all the defensive backs 255 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 2: have been out. Kyler Gordon is out again for like 256 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 2: the second or third time this year. 257 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 3: Nayshon right. 258 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 2: For all the splash plays he makes and the fumber 259 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 2: recoveries and the passes, the fuck did teams still go 260 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 2: at him? So they must obviously see something in his 261 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 2: coverage ability that they feel like they can exploit. It's 262 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,719 Speaker 2: kind of like my first year and the Twins beat 263 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 2: when they had Marty Cordoba and left. Marty was among 264 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 2: the league leaders and outfield assist It wasn't because he 265 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 2: was a terrific outfielder with a big arms because no 266 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 2: one respect him as an outfielder, so that he ran 267 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 2: in him all the time. So he got he racked 268 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 2: up the assists based on volume, you know. So I 269 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 2: see that bit with nay Shon Wright. But the offense 270 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 2: is really the last month, the offense has really kind 271 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 2: of falling into place here with Caleb dropping dimes and making. 272 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 3: Albeit and a loss. How good was he at the Bay? Oh? 273 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 3: It was great. 274 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 2: Here's the thing with San Francisco, and I think every team, 275 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 2: even the NFC's flawed. You could score on San Francisco. 276 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 2: There's gonna have. If you could beat, you're gonna have 277 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 2: to win. You can't get to the QB EM, you can't. 278 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 2: He gets rid of the ball so quick. He knows 279 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 2: where he's going with the ball before he's the ball 280 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 2: snaffed and he gets it out of his hand. Uh. 281 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey, the first guy's not bringing him down. They're 282 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 2: not right, you know, And they and Shanahan's been able 283 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 2: to scheme other bits with his wide receivers. I love 284 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 2: how he uses his fullback. He puts him in the 285 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 2: motion and then he stamps the ball so now yu 286 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 2: Check turns into a rhinoceros because now he's rumbling and 287 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 2: he's just clambling people opening up blazes for McCaffrey. You know, 288 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 2: it's a great scheme that Shanahan's got going, uh, working 289 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 2: with San Francisco. But when at the beginning of the game, 290 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 2: were you're doing, You know, when they're announcing the players 291 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 2: and they're pro football focused rankings like all over, like 292 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 2: in his fifties and sixties, like a couple guys are 293 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 2: in the twenties, there was nobody in the top ten 294 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 2: in the position. I was like, Okay, this defense doesn't 295 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 2: have any hell races because Warner's out and Watts out right, 296 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 2: and that means a lot for them. 297 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 3: So it absolutely does. And Caleb started making place with 298 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 3: his arm. 299 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 2: Receivers were open, Luthor Burton was healthy, put up one 300 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 2: hundred yards. I lost a fancy Football championship because of 301 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 2: Luthor Burton because my opponent picked him up two hours 302 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 2: before kickoff. Burton goes one twenty with a touch and 303 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 2: knocks me out of the Fancy Championship, which the guy 304 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 2: was like, I was hoping that a former Bear, we 305 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 2: do you in. You know, I had to put up 306 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 2: with that crap, but absolutely, but it was. It was 307 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 2: an entertaining game. I was worried the Bear's gonna be 308 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 2: blown out, but they acquitted themselves well, So I bummed 309 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 2: up that they lost, but I'm not devastated. 310 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 3: Let's let's do this. 311 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: Let's pause and continue this conversation, just to catch up 312 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: on the clock.

So 333 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,479 Speaker 3: Border Battle Subterfuge. 334 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: Desmond Ritter, who had been with the Vikings earlier in 335 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: the year because of our own quarterback related issues, now 336 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: a member of the Packers, probably backing up Clayton Tune 337 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: on something. 338 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 2: I mean, the game is meaningless, so I can't see 339 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 2: how Subterfuge and its border battles are not meaning trying 340 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 2: to drop into somebody's playbook. You know it's going to 341 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 2: be a matter matter. So it was just may be 342 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 2: the best of the available quarterbacks out there. 343 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: They're looking for any edge they can level because it's 344 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: a border battle. That's why they signed Desmond Ritter. At 345 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: this point, I think the loser gets a better draft pick, 346 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: right Gosh. 347 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 2: So the Vikings are going for nine and eight though, 348 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 2: so that's their motivation. 349 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: I think we're behind, aren't we behind the pack? Regardless 350 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: because of the tie oh god, yes, the tie. Yeah, 351 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: stupid tie, stupid tie. 352 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 2: And they kicked the field goal to sure to tie, 353 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 2: didn't even have the marbles that go for it and 354 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 2: then get a touchdown? 355 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 3: Is that true? Is that true? Brett? I was in Vegas? 356 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 3: It was Stember twenty eighth. Did you did you all 357 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 3: worked out? 358 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 4: Because we clinched the playoffs and we've had been coasting 359 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 4: for two weeks now, so it's worked off for us. 360 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if you've noticed, though, I mean as 361 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 1: it's certainly worked out for you. You're in the postseason. Vikings 362 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: are staying at home, so I'm not standing in. 363 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 3: A position of superiority. I understand that. 364 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,679 Speaker 1: But when we're talking about the NFC playoffs, there's one 365 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: team that just doesn't come up. There's one team that 366 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: just isn't a factor in the playoffs. And you understand that, 367 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: and I think you can, you can humbly understand why 368 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: that your team is not brought up as being a 369 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: factor at this particular point. But then you know Snotty, 370 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: You know the smugness of Packers fans, and ever since 371 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: you started doing Packer Review with the Sultan of Smug, 372 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 1: I feel like you are the court jester of Smug, 373 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: you are an up and coming Smug. 374 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 3: Packers fan, and that's good. Wear it. 375 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: The Packers as the non factor that they are. How 376 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 1: much would you love the ability to host green Bay 377 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: this first playoff weekend? Here Lavelly Neil the third in 378 00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: studio and beat the Packet Soldier Field to advance in 379 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: the postseason. 380 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,439 Speaker 2: We feel that the Packers are the easiest route to 381 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 2: the next round of the postseason, So we welcome green 382 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 2: Bay coming back to so Royal. 383 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,199 Speaker 1: We as in the organization that team and everybody Bears 384 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: Nation prefers the Packers. 385 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,679 Speaker 2: You're seeking on behalf of the first round. Yes, I 386 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 2: am the Allery folks and everybody everyone. So let's have 387 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 2: green Bay come back to our crib and tried to win. 388 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 2: When we have, we have actually played better since that game. 389 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 2: Kal's definitely played better. We're going to be a little healthier. 390 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 2: Who knows who their quarterback is going to be? Uh, 391 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 2: what'll be Jordan Love? Are you sure he's gonna get cleared? 392 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean that's still it's at that point. 393 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's already been out a week. Yeah that doesn't matter. 394 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 2: You know what, they'll gree of concussion he's happened. 395 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: Okay, well, now had pass really on a border battle week, 396 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: gonna make me start defending and supporting the stupid small 397 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: Packers fans. 398 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 2: You coun estimate what you could get. Well, that's a concussion, 399 00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 2: definitely two weeks. I mean when he when he was, 400 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 2: I think protocol protocols like go, hey, he's not gonna 401 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 2: play next week. It's rare that you see a guy 402 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 2: play the next week after entering the concussion protocol. 403 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,919 Speaker 3: You practiced all I did? I totally agree. Well, what 404 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 3: is practice? 405 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 2: Me standing on a sidelight play flipping a ball in 406 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 2: the air wirebody else is like running through drills. 407 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 3: I mean, he didn't clip protocol. He's standing up right. 408 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 2: Unless the Packers are doing some skulldugrey here to make 409 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 2: sure he's he's super healthy for the postseason, and just 410 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 2: claiming he's not out of protocol, well, of course that's exact. 411 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're not going to risk anybody that 412 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: is high end on that team. 413 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 3: But now now. 414 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 1: So so so so I simultaneously totally agree with you, Lavelle, 415 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: that the Packers are. 416 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,160 Speaker 3: The easiest route to the next round. 417 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 1: Yes, because the other choice of course would be one 418 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: of the NFC jug West Juggernauts. You want nothing to 419 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: do with the Rams or if the Niners or Seahawks, 420 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: depending upon who doesn't get the one seed, you you 421 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 1: would want nothing to do with them. 422 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 3: So I get it, totally agree. 423 00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: Now I kind of want the Packers to roll in 424 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: the soldier field and want Jordan Love you can throw 425 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 1: off his back foot all day. 426 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 3: I don't care. Find Christian Watson fifty yards down the field. 427 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 1: And just dagger you guys now, And this is a 428 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 1: weird universe and a weird spot for me to be in. 429 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: But you're you're just so kind of just they're they're 430 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: They're not just a speed bump. They still have Evan 431 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: Williams and Edger and Cooper. Where Sean Garry could wake 432 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,919 Speaker 1: up from his own coma that he's had. 433 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 2: John Jakobs playing right now, Josh Jakobs is barely He's 434 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 2: barely moving through the locker room. 435 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 3: And give him a weight between games. Now, give them 436 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 3: a week, we'll see. 437 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: People have been counting on Josh Jacobs to completely fall 438 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: apart for like half a decade. The Raiders grinded him 439 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 1: into dust, and all he's done since he went to 440 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: Green Bay, he's put up three hundred and fifty touches 441 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: and has just been the clear patriarch focal point of 442 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: that offen. 443 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 2: What I'm saying is that the Packers beat whereas have 444 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 2: watched him walk through the locker room the last two 445 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 2: three weeks with a noticeable lip because he's beaten. He 446 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 2: has been beat into the ground. 447 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 3: Are you guys just the new school Lions fans? 448 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 1: Lions fans used to put paper bags over their heads, 449 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: and now they're speaking in the Motor City like they're 450 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: onto a dynasty. 451 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 3: Uh the last time. 452 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: In fairness, your team has certainly been much better and 453 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: more game and more apt consistently over the course of time. 454 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: Your team in recent years has suffered his own struggles. 455 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 1: I'm living in perpetual purgatory with my favorite team. You 456 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 1: can you get just like the guarant would you guarantee 457 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: a win against the Packers? Against the Packers to guarantee 458 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 1: you win? But I like our chances. 459 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 3: Okay, you're not gonna guarantee Why wouldn't you guarantee you win? 460 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 2: I like our chances.

I just didn't 477 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 1: like what I saw, And that's easy in a vacuum 478 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 1: of a rookie season. But what Ben Johnson's done in 479 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: a very short period of time is nothing short remarkable 480 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: and deserving of all praise. And you know, mnung Guy 481 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: and Swift, the tandem that they've been, I mean, what 482 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: a find.

Uh, 490 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 2: who have made who have made impact, who have impacted 491 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 2: the offense. Yeah, and Ozzie Trapilo is actually getting a 492 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 2: lot of reps as an offensive tackle. My guy, here's 493 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 2: a very here's a crazy thing. Uh. The more Roman Donza, Coston, Lovelin, 494 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 2: and Luther Burton all have between forty and fifty receptions 495 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 2: and all are like in the six hundred yards in 496 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 2: reception range. So all anyone whose bleting the team in 497 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 2: receiving yards this year. And DJ Moore's value, his skyrocket 498 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,479 Speaker 2: has been He's he's reminded every one of his value. 499 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 2: With O'doonseay being injured and Ondonsay should be back for 500 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 2: the Packer game, but he is going to be back, 501 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 2: and we won. We beat the Packers with I think 502 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 2: that I don't know Burton playing that game, o'donsay was definitely out. 503 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,919 Speaker 2: I think Burton was out too, so we'll be closer 504 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 2: to full health figures cross on this Sunday's game against 505 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:39,400 Speaker 2: the Lions. 506 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 3: Caleb does does? Caleb? 507 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: Caleb needs wow, two hundred and seventy yards to become 508 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: the first four thousand yard passer in Bear's history. 509 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 2: Well, he that means he needs one hundred and well 510 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 2: it was seventy finals to seventy. 511 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 3: That means he needs just yards. 512 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 2: He needs just over one hundred yards of passing to 513 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 2: break the single season passing yardage record held by Eric Kramer. Kramer, 514 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 2: which is like thirty eight hundred and something. I figured 515 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 2: it would have been Cutler. I don't know why Cramer. Okay, yeah, 516 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 2: so thirty nine and change for for Kramer.
