Speaker 1: Yes, sir NASCAR driver doing good?
Speaker 4: How are you guys?
Speaker 5: Real good?
Speaker 2: Man, thank you first and foremost for last weekend. Zacho
Speaker 2: and I had the best time ever and it was
Speaker 2: great watching you racing. I'm just gonna get this out
Speaker 2: of the way right now. I think you had something
Speaker 2: for him. If they hadn't rained you out, you might
Speaker 2: have had the race car to win that race last week,
Speaker 2: I think so.
Speaker 4: I mean, our car was good. I as you heard.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you listened to radio or not,
Speaker 4: but I have any complaints on the radio, and that's
Speaker 4: usually what you want to hear out of me. But
Speaker 4: we needed one more rechar out there, but that fog
Speaker 4: kept rolling in and racing conditions were not perfect, so
Speaker 4: they had to call it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so let me address that real quick with the
Speaker 2: guys in here, because Ben Leeber just walked in and
Speaker 2: Tommy's over there as well. So you know how you
Speaker 2: have spotters up there watching to let you know you're clear,
Speaker 2: you're not clear, there's somebody outside that you know that
Speaker 2: said it was so foggy on the backstretch that you
Speaker 2: could hear the spotters saying, I can't see anything. You're
Speaker 2: on your own back there, and that got really treacherous.
Speaker 2: So it was like driving blind. For you on the
Speaker 2: back start. It wasn't that, William, Yeah.
Speaker 5: For sure.
Speaker 4: I mean I was luckily in a position where I
Speaker 4: never had to make any calls myself. My teammates got
Speaker 4: caught up in a wreck that was kind of because
Speaker 4: of the fog and little visibility for spotters. But you know,
Speaker 4: we were up front and didn't have to worry about
Speaker 4: being in a hornet's nest and in the middle of
Speaker 4: the pack. But it was kind of a cool atmosphere.
Speaker 4: You know, I've never raced in the fog before it
Speaker 4: and I under the lights. I actually enjoyed it a lot.
Speaker 3: Hey, William ben Lever here, congratulations on the top five.
Speaker 3: You mentioned how good your car was and there was
Speaker 3: no complaints on the radio. When do you know, like
Speaker 3: when you're in a good car setup and your car's
Speaker 3: feeling good and it's pern good, and like, when do
Speaker 3: you know, like the second that you sort of get
Speaker 3: in the car is or sort of an evolution as
Speaker 3: the race goes along.
Speaker 4: Well, actually the first stage of the race we weren't great,
Speaker 4: so we had to make a huge adjustment on a
Speaker 4: pitstol up and then it rained and then there was
Speaker 4: a four hour delay and then we went back green
Speaker 4: to see, you know, how the car was, and it
Speaker 4: was perfect. So you know, you turn off into the corner,
Speaker 4: it lands, it turns where you want it to, and
Speaker 4: then you can get in the throttle, keeps turning, doesn't
Speaker 4: get tight on the exsit, it doesn't lose the front tires. Basically,
Speaker 4: it does what your hands and feet want the.
Speaker 5: Car to do.
Speaker 6: Hey, Zach, can you flip back over to Chris for
Speaker 6: a second and do the side by side with William
Speaker 6: and Chris just for one second. So Chris is wearing
Speaker 6: a William sowalach shirt right, yep, William, it looks like
Speaker 6: I think that's your autograph or some kind of spiral
Speaker 6: art in the back because it doesn't look like it
Speaker 6: has That's all right, people sign like that all the time.
Speaker 6: So as you continue to grow here, how much of
Speaker 6: how much of a hands on are you when it
Speaker 6: comes to your own branding, when it comes to like
Speaker 6: things like merch or logos or you know, things you're
Speaker 6: going to use moving forward? Are you meeting about kind
Speaker 6: of stuff pretty frequently?
Speaker 4: I mean I usually worry about the driving side of things,
Speaker 4: but I do have input on on my merchandise most
Speaker 4: of the stuff that's on my website, which that shirt
Speaker 4: is that's unreal shirt. You so really company merch Honestly,
Speaker 4: compared to anybody else, it's the best. So I'm proud
Speaker 4: to have that. So just my own personal stuff I
Speaker 4: have in put on. You know the wind shirts from Rockingham.
Speaker 4: Jg R has those. I think we have those Wesellos
Speaker 4: on my website as well. You know, I give my
Speaker 4: little input and you know, kind of the final say
Speaker 4: of things. But anybody who really doesn't really does a
Speaker 4: good job.
Speaker 7: So William, it's not like a concert, right where like
Speaker 7: if you go like can you buy your merch on
Speaker 7: site or do you have to go to the website?
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I have a website whims solis dot com.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you can buy some at the track as well.
Speaker 2: Absolutely so, And that'd be Williamsawalach of course, the driver
Speaker 2: the starky sound gear number eighteen. Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota.
Speaker 2: You talked about your car not being great at the
Speaker 2: beginning of the race. That was really interesting because and Ben,
Speaker 2: you and I haven't talked about this ship, but as
Speaker 2: a racing fan, I think you'll you'll be kind of
Speaker 2: surprised by it. So we walked into William's trailer and
Speaker 2: it had been raining and they hadn't had a time
Speaker 2: to practice or time to qualify. And as Zacho and
Speaker 2: I were in his in his semi and his trailer,
Speaker 2: just kind of hanging around, he got word that they
Speaker 2: had moved the race up twenty minutes.
Speaker 1: So as we were.
Speaker 2: Standing there talking to him, he had about thirty five
Speaker 2: minutes before they took the green flag, and he had
Speaker 2: not been on the race track yet, and the fact
Speaker 2: that he didn't seem to be bothered at all by that.
Speaker 2: In fact, I asked him, does that you know? Are
Speaker 2: you nervous about it? Then he goes, now, he said,
Speaker 2: in thirty five minutes, I'm going to go in into
Speaker 2: turn one at one hundred and eighty miles an hour
Speaker 2: on a track in a car I haven't raced yet.
Speaker 2: And I was like, that's unbelievable. You weren't phased at
Speaker 2: all about that? And was is there no trepidation at
Speaker 2: all in the green flag flu and you went in
Speaker 2: to turn one?
Speaker 4: Uh no, not really. I mean, luckily I had a
Speaker 4: lot of simulator time, but that's not really the real thing,
Speaker 4: you know, you don't experience the feel of the speed
Speaker 4: and the g forces and the simulator, but you can't.
Speaker 4: You can't be nervous about it or overthink it. You
Speaker 4: just have to do it because everybody else has to
Speaker 4: do it, and you gotta be kind of on your
Speaker 4: game lap one and not lose as many spots as
Speaker 4: you can. Also obviously gain spots. That's the biggest goal
Speaker 4: on a restart, because everyone's so bunch together, that's the
Speaker 4: best time for passing. And when it gets strung out,
Speaker 4: you know, the passes take a lot more time, and
Speaker 4: that takes more time for the guys in front to
Speaker 4: get away. So restarts are a big opportunity to gain spots.
Speaker 4: But that initial start, no, I wasn't too nervous. I
Speaker 4: was actually really confident in my car from the simulator
Speaker 4: and it showed, you know, I had good speed.
Speaker 3: You know that that's an interesting point, and I know
Speaker 3: that this is really difficult probably question to a answer
Speaker 3: because every track is different. But how do you go
Speaker 3: and just just take the race that you were just in?
Speaker 3: How do you approach the strategy and the aggressiveness of
Speaker 3: how you want to run up the track? Knowing that
Speaker 3: you have laps to go, and it's a long race.
Speaker 3: I mean, how do you kind of approach that with
Speaker 3: your team, especially when I after a while you're like, man,
Speaker 3: my car's really really good. Do you always push into
Speaker 3: every corner or is there a lot more strategy to
Speaker 3: overtaking people?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I mean usually you go one hundred percent the entire time.
Speaker 4: You've enough tires to be able to wear them out
Speaker 4: really faster, you know, not have to save for a
Speaker 4: long run. Our runs are long, you know, we'll have
Speaker 4: forty five lap runs on a mile and a half tracks.
Speaker 4: But really the tire kind of stays fine. Just tire
Speaker 4: heat is all you have to worry about. So you
Speaker 4: obviously don't want to like scuff the tire really hard
Speaker 4: in the corner and gain a bunch of heating it
Speaker 4: because you'll never get back. So that's the only thing
Speaker 4: you really have to be careful of. When you're leading,
Speaker 4: you get your gap. So for example, rocking in, I
Speaker 4: got a two second gap, and then my spotter he'll
Speaker 4: call out lap times me compared to the car behind me,
Speaker 4: and all I have to do is match, and even
Speaker 4: if I'm I'm faster, whatever, just matched the car behind me.
Speaker 4: That's all you gotta do.
Speaker 8: Hey, will And we were talking earlier about the spotter
Speaker 8: and the radio and the importance of that, and at
Speaker 8: one point, when the fog settled in and the mist
Speaker 8: settled in, we heard on the radio your spotter basically
Speaker 8: said he could only see you coming out of turn
Speaker 8: four in a little bit on the front stretch. What
Speaker 8: was it like, you know, knowing that your spotter, the
Speaker 8: guy your your eyes and ears around your car had
Speaker 8: very limited visibility, especially toward the end of the eventually
Speaker 8: rained shortened race.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it's not afiense bushy to hear that, but
Speaker 4: you know, we managed to get through it. My spotter, Drew,
Speaker 4: he's really good. He's a cup spotter for the nineteen
Speaker 4: car of Chase Briscoe, also under the JGR banner. But
Speaker 4: we didn't really have any issues. He didn't make any
Speaker 4: wrong calls. You know, he's probably more conservative with his
Speaker 4: calls on being clear or not, just to make sure.
Speaker 4: But you know, it was easier for me to gage
Speaker 4: some things inside of the car because the fog wasn't
Speaker 4: so bad actually low on the track where we were.
Speaker 6: Hey William, fifteen twenty years from now, what are you
Speaker 6: going to remember most about the Kyle Busch tribute last weekend.
Speaker 6: What's going to stand out?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, obviously it was a really tough weekend
Speaker 4: and I got I had the opportunity to be in
Speaker 4: the eighteen car in the O'Reilly series, so that was special.
Speaker 4: I picked that number because of him. I was supposed
Speaker 4: to be in the eighty one my rookie year last year,
Speaker 4: but the eighteen was open and I one of that
Speaker 4: because of Kyle. So I think, honestly, just running that
Speaker 4: number and you know, thinking about that almost the entire race,
Speaker 4: that being my motivator is probably what I'll be thinking about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what are weekend in great tributes? And man, I'll
Speaker 2: tell you what what a what a tragedy? Now you
Speaker 2: you you leave Charlotte, your head towards Nashville. A smaller track.
Speaker 2: It's the Sports Illustrated Resorts two fifty this Saturday. It's
Speaker 2: a seven thirty night race and you can watch it
Speaker 2: on the CW. And again, a smaller racetrack. What do
Speaker 2: you know about Nashville And how do you feel about
Speaker 2: racing under the lights again this weekend?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Nashville is a good track for us. We got
Speaker 4: the poll there last year we led thirty thirty five
Speaker 4: laps in stage one and then we ended up blowing
Speaker 4: up in stage three. So other than that, it was
Speaker 4: a good race. I'm excited. You know, we're good at
Speaker 4: the mile tracks Dover and finished fourth Rockingham first this year.
Speaker 4: It's definitely another win coming. We've been working our the
Speaker 4: simulator to joy and get that.
Speaker 2: There you go again, that Starky car, the Sound Gear
Speaker 2: car will be racing this Saturday night on the CW. Well,
Speaker 2: good luck. Thank you again for last weekend and for
Speaker 2: giving us such access standing beside you on you know,
Speaker 2: on Pitt Road right before and during the anthem and
Speaker 2: listening to everything that was going on in the race car.
Speaker 2: It was just a great experience. We've got to get
Speaker 2: our guy Ben liber to a race because dude, you
Speaker 2: would love to be worred Zacho and I would have
Speaker 2: last week. It would be so much fun. So let's
Speaker 2: try to make that happen amidst your busy schedule if
Speaker 2: you don't mind.
Speaker 4: William, absolutely anytime.
Speaker 5: Guys appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Man, Thank you so much, thank you, good luck. It
Speaker 1: was Williams so walid.
Speaker 2: And thank you to Starky and Sound gear once again,
Speaker 2: if you got to protect your hearing, honestly, especially if
Speaker 2: you're around racing or any kind of thing you work
Speaker 2: in outdoors amongst have you machinery or you play in
Speaker 2: a band, protect your ears. You've only got two. There
Speaker 2: you go.
Speaker 8: We'll have more time eventually maybe and maybe this is
Speaker 8: more like if he's in studio again in the off season.
Speaker 8: We got to talk to him about his his up
Speaker 8: I guess his upbringing, up bringing man, because he he
Speaker 8: worked his ass off to get to where he is at.
Speaker 9: He did a lot of after school runs down to.
Speaker 8: Elco and we were able to learn a lot from
Speaker 8: the from Josh uh So Cory I believe is and
Speaker 8: then he, I mean just kind of filled us in
Speaker 8: on on his background. He's a very impressive background and
Speaker 8: certainly has earned his way to where he is today.
Speaker 2: It was interesting and thanks to to Josh and Toni
Speaker 2: and we had a great weekend with him. But Ben,
Speaker 2: as I'm wearing this T shirt that Corey was talking about.
Speaker 2: Look at the back of this T shirt, right, what
Speaker 2: does that remind you of?
Speaker 4: Does that remind you of Formula one?
Speaker 5: It looks like a Formula one shirt.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, you can see at NASCAR races now, they're starting
Speaker 2: to kind of take more of that Formula one feel
Speaker 2: and bring it into the did you get that as
Speaker 2: well as echo that they're kind of taking that aesthetic
Speaker 2: as the word I'm looking for from Formula one and
Speaker 2: bringing in. I think it's a great move, man, I
Speaker 2: mean like sexiness or yeah, steel kind of a feel.
Speaker 6: Yeah, when I think when I think of that, for one,
Speaker 6: the difference like Monaco its places like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 9: And I love how the shirt, which, by the way,
Speaker 9: I'm wearing the same shirt.
Speaker 2: I we did the same thing. We came out of
Speaker 2: the elevator and I'm standing there. I'm like, well, there
Speaker 2: we go for twenties.
Speaker 8: It says Eden Prayer in the top and then it
Speaker 8: says lakes, laps and legends, and he's embracing that Minnesota
Speaker 8: his roots here.
Speaker 9: It's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: See, if you're not a racing fan or a NASCAR fan,
Speaker 2: you haven't been in the past, You've got a guy
Speaker 2: that an Eden, Prairie guy who's running at the top
Speaker 2: echelon and will be in the Cup Series soon. So
Speaker 2: I check it out because this kid, he's got it.
Speaker 2: And I know, man, I saw and we we got
Speaker 2: a little bit of an on on online as well,
Speaker 2: and everybody's like, well, you know, how do you get
Speaker 2: to where he's at? And blah blah blah blah, and
Speaker 2: you know, is it Is it a situation where he's
Speaker 2: a good driver? Does he have the money behind him?
Speaker 2: You have to have all of that. Ast of all,
Speaker 2: you have to have all of it. You you can't
Speaker 2: not get to where he's at and I have backing.
Speaker 2: But also you can't drive into turn one at one
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty miles an hour unless you've got something
Speaker 2: inside you. It makes you special. Ben, I've known a
Speaker 2: lot of race car drivers. That kid had no nerves.
Speaker 2: As we were standing beside him during the anthem, as
Speaker 2: he was getting ready to get in the race car,
Speaker 2: and you would have thought he was about to play checkers.
Speaker 3: Well, it was unbelievab his answer when you asked that question,
Speaker 3: when he was talking about just the approach to the race,
Speaker 3: He's like, there's basically no hesitation. Yeah, like, well everybody
Speaker 3: else is doing it, so why am I going to
Speaker 3: overthink this? Just just get in the car and drive. Ye,
Speaker 3: it's such a good analogy for I don't know a
Speaker 3: lot of things in life, like just do it. Just
Speaker 3: do it, don't ever think it like you've trained for this,
Speaker 3: like it's one thing if you don't if you don't
Speaker 3: trust your preparation, like you hear athletes talk about that
Speaker 3: all the time, Like if you prepare and you've prepared
Speaker 3: your ass off all week, why are you nervous?
Speaker 5: Right, this is what this is.
Speaker 3: If you trust it and you trust your coaches and
Speaker 3: all that stuff, then just go.
Speaker 1: Out there and do it. Don't think feel like sauce.
Speaker 6: Don't you feel like you want to gamble against me today?
Speaker 1: You feel like you feel like different, like you.
Speaker 6: Should make this bed and just do what you love
Speaker 6: to do, no fear. Just like Ben said, just do it, man.
Speaker 5: Just do it.
Speaker 7: Do it?
Speaker 5: You know how I feel like Tommy a bunch of
Speaker 5: dudes ganging up on me.

Speaker 5: Yeah it is.
Speaker 1: Man, you're braver than men.
Speaker 2: Crazy, Yeah you are.
Speaker 5: Actually I think that was the day that I did
Speaker 5: the ride.
Speaker 7: Thunder.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you threw up, threw up many times.
Speaker 2: That's why I will not do it. I've been asked
Speaker 2: again this year if I want to do it, and
Speaker 2: I will not do it because I do not like
Speaker 2: the sensation of throwing up, unlike most of them.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's unfortunately, it's been difficult.
Speaker 3: I have been the last couple of years trying to
Speaker 3: help them find somebody that would want to ride along, and.
Speaker 1: The still do it.
Speaker 5: No, why too scared?
Speaker 3: Okay, And the crazy thing is, I thought this would
Speaker 3: be easy, peasy, all right. Put out a couple asks
Speaker 3: who wouldn't want to ride along in a jet? Like
Speaker 3: it's a once in a lifetime experience?
Speaker 2: Sure, it certainly is.
Speaker 5: So many people are like, Nope, nope, nope, not for me.
Speaker 6: If you want to get into a time machine and
Speaker 6: ask me twenty years ago, the answer is immediately yes.
Speaker 5: I'm telling you guys, it is.
Speaker 1: I can't do it now.
Speaker 5: Well, there's no guarantees that you would throw up, so
Speaker 5: you might be.
Speaker 1: I'm not into it. In general, the adrenaline rush in
Speaker 1: me is gone, what a rush? Yep, don't care anymore?
Speaker 5: Who said that hawk.
Speaker 1: The legion of Doom?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Is that Hawker animal one of the two?
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe, and maybe it was both. Did they both say
Speaker 1: it together?
Speaker 5: You guys have those guys in never did? No.
Speaker 1: But that's James Lorenidis's dad, right, it is?
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 1: Is James still in town?
Speaker 5: Does he live here? That's a great question. I don't know.
Speaker 5: Coach for coaches?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, does he really?
Speaker 2: He was a badasser man.
Speaker 1: Did you overlap with him? Yeah? In Saint Louis though,
Speaker 1: Oh you did. Yeah?

Speaker 1: I forgot about that?
Speaker 3: I legit one of the smartest players I've ever been around, no.
Speaker 2: Kidding, yes, And I don't know why that surprised me.
Speaker 2: I don't mean to be mean, but he just he
Speaker 2: came across as a meathead who just wanted to eat people,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 3: Okay, on the contrary to that as well. Never seen
Speaker 3: a more smiley guy in my life, no kidding, Like,
Speaker 3: the dude just laughed and smiled all day long. We
Speaker 3: have to get all of the get him in, Yeah,
Speaker 3: you guys, we got to get him in. If he's around,
Speaker 3: I do think he's coaching them.
Speaker 5: He's the linebacker coach for Ohio State.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's my goodness.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I thought he went since twenty twenty four, so
Speaker 7: he coached those two top ten picks and Sunday styles
Speaker 7: And uh, who's the guy that went to the Jets?
Speaker 5: Who was it?
Speaker 2: Hawk Joe Na?

Speaker 6: Yes, well, I guess he's only available on Fridays.
Speaker 7: David Bait No not David's Texas Tech doesn't matter at
Speaker 7: eight to fifteen.
Speaker 3: But yeah, anyway, fantastic human being, great dude, literally, he
Speaker 3: could have ran our meeting rooms like our our whole
Speaker 3: at least our linebacker room.
Speaker 5: He could have every day.
Speaker 3: He could have got there and his second did the
Speaker 3: whole install and then coached everything after practice.
Speaker 1: Good to hear, that's really cool.
Speaker 2: Should we hit sports women? Sure, I'm gonna get this name.
Speaker 4: It's time for fan five on the Power Trip.
Speaker 7: The Minnesota Twins got rolled by the White Sox fifteen
Speaker 7: to two. Connor pre Lip, the starter for your Twins,
Speaker 7: gave up six earned runs and then the bullpen gave
Speaker 7: up nine more earned runs. Your Twins, though, were twenty seven.
Speaker 5: And twenty nine.
Speaker 7: Same two teams today, final game of this series at
Speaker 7: won ten Kendriy Rojas goes for your Minnesota Twins.
Speaker 5: Roa, yeah, Rojas Rojas me last.
Speaker 2: Night for them last night. But they've been great up
Speaker 2: to last night.
Speaker 5: Right, yeah, yeah, doing good. Yeah.
Speaker 6: One of my favorite things is how long it takes
Speaker 6: Sauce to sit in at salute silence before.
Speaker 1: He realizes it's his turn again.
Speaker 7: Speaking of getting rolled, the Hurricanes rolled the Canadians four
Speaker 7: to oh to take a three to one series lead.
Speaker 5: Zacho.
Speaker 7: Game five is tomorrow at seven pm. The winner of
Speaker 7: that series will play the loss Vegas Golden Knights sometime
Speaker 7: next week.
Speaker 8: Yeah, they came out with a as you mentioned, three
Speaker 8: goal first period just kinda and just didn't sit back.
Speaker 8: They had multiple power play opportunities, could have been an
Speaker 8: even bigger lobsided result. But regardless, for nothing, the final
Speaker 8: game five big one for Carolina. They would love to,
Speaker 8: especially looking across at Vegas closing out the Avs and
Speaker 8: in four games, would love to close out the Halves
Speaker 8: in five and get to that Stanley Cup final as
Speaker 8: soon as possible, in which case Hurricanes Golden Knights will
Speaker 8: be a fun one here. Just let's get there first.
Speaker 8: If you're Carolina. But they've just have dominated pretty much
Speaker 8: all but what all but one game in this postseason they've.
Speaker 9: Won, So thank you for your incredible run.
Speaker 7: The pant Panthers. The Carolina Hurricanes would be a big favorite, right,
Speaker 7: I'm not sure.
Speaker 8: I don't know what the especially after dispatching the Abs
Speaker 8: in four, I don't know what the odds will be
Speaker 8: for that. That'll be an interesting, interesting series. I could
Speaker 8: make an argument either way.
Speaker 6: I'll take I'll take Vegas and Montreal. You can have Carolina.
Speaker 5: Oh, gosh, yeah, this is quite the bet.
Speaker 6: So I get the I get the absolute you know,
Speaker 6: nightmare comeback if Montreal wins the next three, hang on, daddy, But.
Speaker 1: Then I also get Vegas.
Speaker 5: Let me check the ads here, daddy.
Speaker 1: Well that's cheating. Just go off your own expertise, you
Speaker 1: know what, Just do it. You just go off your
Speaker 1: own gut feeling. This is sports betting.
Speaker 7: This is got a lot in my life, and it's
Speaker 7: got me overweight, not a shape. The rosie, the rosie,
Speaker 7: the Roso it's just for fun.
Speaker 1: Just feel it. Come on, manh yeah, I'll take the Hurricanes.
Speaker 9: Yeah, brilliant move.
Speaker 1: Wait me, yes, you yeah?
Speaker 5: Do I I get the Carolina Hurricane.
Speaker 1: Sure?
Speaker 5: I just want action, Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1: You do not understand. I understand their favorite. I just
Speaker 1: want the action.
Speaker 5: What's the catch?
Speaker 1: There isn't a catch?
Speaker 5: Are you sure?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: It seems catchy, doesn't it.
Speaker 5: It does seem catches. But the thing is, like I
Speaker 5: don't know enough about hotchon exactly.
Speaker 1: There is no catch.
Speaker 8: I mean I like it because again according to Vegas,
Speaker 8: I just looked it up for the futures, the Hurricanes
Speaker 8: are minus one forty five.
Speaker 9: The golden answer plus one thirty.
Speaker 1: Great.
Speaker 9: So yeah, you're getting good odds there.
Speaker 2: You really need to go to Vegas.
Speaker 5: What's the catch.
Speaker 6: There isn't a catch. I want to bet on Vegas.
Speaker 6: I don't care.
Speaker 1: Let's go.
Speaker 2: He has a problem.
Speaker 1: I'm not looking for an angle.
Speaker 2: Help.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I understand the dog.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm with you right now, because the second you
Speaker 3: handshake on this bet, he's gonna be.
Speaker 2: Like, yes, got him.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like over something. What are we betting to something?
Speaker 5: I don't trust you too smart for me. I don't
Speaker 5: want to make the bet.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, oh no, don't.
Speaker 5: Okay, wait, wait, okay, okay, wait, say the best, say
Speaker 5: the bet again.
Speaker 6: So I get Montreal just in case they get the
Speaker 6: massive comeback, and.
Speaker 1: I get the Las Vegas Golden Knights.
Speaker 3: When you're gonna take Brian Brian Harper and the Golden Knights, yes,
Speaker 3: and then he would get the hairline Caroline Hurricane.
Speaker 6: Sure, and I get the miracle comeback just in case
Speaker 6: Montreal comes back. So I get one point one teams,
Speaker 6: he gets one team.
Speaker 1: I'll take that bed sauce. Sure you're out, No, I'm in? No?
Speaker 5: Can both be in?
Speaker 1: Can both be in.
Speaker 2: What is that your it's a strange yet a new.
Speaker 1: Yeah, scientific nomenclature. All right, never mind, we're out, we're done.
Speaker 1: You just made Ben. No, I didn't make it bet
Speaker 1: with Ben. I wanted to make a bet with Sauce.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm in.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm backing out for you. I'm backing out.
Speaker 5: My hundred is not good, that's no.
Speaker 1: I'm just I don't want to do the bad I
Speaker 1: backed out. I don't want to do it.
Speaker 5: I did that earlier. Now you're mocking me again. You're
Speaker 5: mocking me as you mock me, you're double mocking me.
Speaker 9: Mock exception.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a mock exception.
Speaker 2: Dad, didn't be careful when you double mock somebody?
Speaker 1: Mock yeah somebody?
Speaker 3: Yeah, gentlemen, nothear so?
Speaker 5: Speaking of didn't they just ad lib that?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 2: Did they?
Speaker 1: Probably?
Speaker 3: There's there's a story that when they were filming that
Speaker 3: they just were riffing and they just kept it rolling.
Speaker 6: Can you even imagine, like, how do you keep up
Speaker 6: with I mean, Jeff Daniels is awesome, but how do
Speaker 6: you keep up with Jim Carrey?
Speaker 3: The whole that whole thing is fascinating to me because
Speaker 3: then I saw another video where they weren't sure Jeff
Speaker 3: Daniels could do comedy, right, and have you.
Speaker 5: Guys talked about that when.
Speaker 1: He briefly yeah go ahead, yeah.
Speaker 3: Well he basically they brought him in the first day
Speaker 3: after they said, oh yeah, we'll give you a shot.
Speaker 3: He didn't realize that he was doing a trial run.
Speaker 3: And so he filmed all the ski scenes with the
Speaker 3: snowball fight and everything, and then basically Jim Carrey watched
Speaker 3: from Afar, got sent all the tapes they reviewed.
Speaker 5: He like, yeah, he can do this.
Speaker 1: That's the one.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the one, dude.
Speaker 2: The scene with the ketchup if you've seen them filming that, and.
Speaker 1: He just said his name, Jim Carrey or Jeff Daniels.
Speaker 2: Talking about that. The whole thing with the ketchup where
Speaker 2: he squirts it and it's like a fountain that was
Speaker 2: completely ad libbed. How do you not burst into laughter
Speaker 2: while he's doing that stuff?
Speaker 10: Right?
Speaker 2: You have to try to stay up with him. What
Speaker 2: a challenge, What a fun.
Speaker 3: Thing, And how fortunate that they they would actually like shot.
Speaker 6: Out like that, right, you know, crazy And we'll tell
Speaker 6: you it's just so not instinctual to try to cool
Speaker 6: your tongue that way catch up. You'd have to be
Speaker 6: an idiot to do it the way that they did it.
Speaker 6: The whole point brilliant.
Speaker 3: But can I can I put a little bit of
Speaker 3: cold water on some of this stuff too?
Speaker 5: Please?
Speaker 2: Please?
Speaker 3: You have the script, so I know that there's ad
Speaker 3: libbying that happens. Things sort of happen naturally. I get
Speaker 3: that all the time. But when you have the script,
Speaker 3: don't you aren't you sort of mentally preparing to like, well,
Speaker 3: I could do this on this take. I could do
Speaker 3: this on this take. Probably, you know, like, oh, let me,
Speaker 3: let me try this. You know, give six or eight takes,
Speaker 3: you probably get the flow of how these things go.
Speaker 3: You know that you're you're going to get at least
Speaker 3: three or four takes to do this as long as
Speaker 3: you nail your lines. The impromptu stuff maybe isn't always
Speaker 3: so impromptu right on set.
Speaker 6: And maybe it takes you the third or fourth take
Speaker 6: to go this isn't working. It'd be so much funny
Speaker 6: if I did something else, and then then you brainstorm
Speaker 6: what am I going to do these next two or three?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 5: So?
Speaker 1: Who knows? It's just uh.
Speaker 6: I still think the greats find those moments and the
Speaker 6: rest of us can't.
Speaker 2: There are certain things that Jim Carrey does that wouldn't
Speaker 2: be funny if somebody else didn't.
Speaker 1: Exactly.
Speaker 7: There's the story with Jim Carrey where he had who's
Speaker 7: the guy that was on Happy Days?
Speaker 1: Henry Winkler.
Speaker 5: No, that's like the big director.
Speaker 7: Ron Howard did Man in the Moon, which is the
Speaker 7: Andy Kaufman movie, and he had Ron Howard over to
Speaker 7: his house and he had Andy Kaufman scenes in the background,
Speaker 7: and he walked Jim Carrey walked away, and Andy Coffman's like,
Speaker 7: excuse me. Ron Howard is sitting there watching these and
Speaker 7: he's like, wow, why are we just playing this because
Speaker 7: he wanted the role. Well, it was Jim Carrey doing it,
Speaker 7: it wasn't Andy Kaust. So he filmed all of it
Speaker 7: and even Ron Howard didn't know that that was Jim Carrey.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, cool, it's really cool. Yeah. I love
Speaker 5: Jim Carrey.
Speaker 1: He's funny and everything.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but you backed out of your bets. Man, you're
Speaker 7: mocking me as you mocked me. Don't think I'm dumb.
Speaker 5: I mean.
Speaker 7: The thunder One went away their second straight NBA Finals.
Speaker 7: Game six of that series is tonight at seven thirty.
Speaker 7: The Spurs, the game will be in San Antonio, are
Speaker 7: a three and a half point favorite. The NBA Finals
Speaker 7: start next Wednesdays. Come on, Spurs, let's go, right, and
Speaker 7: then there's literally like three days in between every game.
Speaker 1: I think if the.
Speaker 7: Seven games, I think it goes somewhere almost to the
Speaker 7: end of June.
Speaker 1: Count me in as who cares.
Speaker 6: All five games in that series have been won by
Speaker 6: seven or more, even the overtime game, Like they just
Speaker 6: haven't been close.
Speaker 3: We're all collectively cheering against OKAC, right.
Speaker 1: For sure, San Antonio, let's go.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have Bunny on o cases, But even if
Speaker 3: your dad didn't have that super special I.
Speaker 6: Still would much rather see Wenby winning than SGA. Not
Speaker 6: even close for sure. Man, you know what I'm excited for.
Speaker 6: Go on Vikings News because there's stuff so much.
Speaker 5: I can't wait.
Speaker 2: So much audio I'll be next. I love the difference
Speaker 2: between the answers between Kyler Murray, I love it and
Speaker 2: JJ I.
Speaker 5: Know it says a lot.
Speaker 1: From the one eight hundred ask Gary Traffic Center.
Speaker 5: This report is sponsored by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.
Speaker 8: GOT Gabriel of Glacias on July thirty first, Joe Batamasa
Speaker 8: and August fifteenth, and Snoop Dog on September.

Speaker 2: gonna be fun.
Speaker 1: That's the goal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I do.
Speaker 1: What is the goal here?
Speaker 2: The train game and to do Viking snoops.
Speaker 4: Use on the Power Trip presented by Ben.
Speaker 2: I will leave this up to you, sir. Would you
Speaker 2: rather hear from Kyler Murray or JJ McCarthy first? Who
Speaker 2: would you like to hear from first?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 5: Let's hear from the new guy. Let's hear from Kyler.
Speaker 2: Fantastic. I will love that. Could you please tell the
Speaker 2: lovely listeners out there what OTAs are and whether or
Speaker 2: not you enjoyed them as a player.
Speaker 3: OTAs are organized team activities and basically it's your first
Speaker 3: chance to be on the field with your teammates in
Speaker 3: a team setting, to have some competitive periods, not all
Speaker 3: competitive periods.
Speaker 5: They are non padded. They do wear helmets.
Speaker 3: Some guys wear softy shoulder pads, which some people call
Speaker 3: spider pads. And that's really it. And I really enjoyed OTAs.
Speaker 3: It was super fun.
Speaker 6: Team activities, though, is just a terrible way to ward it,
Speaker 6: Like it should be called like optional player practice R,
Speaker 6: like OPP, I like OPP. So Chris is really asking
Speaker 6: Ben is are you down with OPP?
Speaker 5: I am down with OPP.
Speaker 1: It's also you down with OPP? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah? No? Are you just do you not?
Speaker 10: Are you? Okay?
Speaker 5: I'm perfectly fine.
Speaker 1: He's doing great.
Speaker 5: Okay, you're doing great. You look great. I do not
Speaker 5: know you?
Speaker 1: Do you locked in?
Speaker 2: You look great?
Speaker 3: You've bless Yeah, you're you're kind of like locked in,
Speaker 3: like you're going to play initials for some reason.
Speaker 7: I want you know what I'm locked in on and
Speaker 7: I'm not kidding. I want to hear your opinion on
Speaker 7: all of this.
Speaker 6: Hey, did you did you ever go to an OTA
Speaker 6: not knowing something and then left? O T a going
Speaker 6: like I'm legitimately better now because I understand this and
Speaker 6: I didn't understand it. It's not so it's not just
Speaker 6: practicing working out and hanging out with the new guys,
Speaker 6: but you literally improve because you learned something.
Speaker 1: Does that actually happen? Yeah, okay frequently?
Speaker 5: Or is that?
Speaker 3: Well, let me look in different phases of your career.
Speaker 3: If you're if you're in year two or three of
Speaker 3: the same system, then no, you're on day one or
Speaker 3: day two. Well, day two I think was open to public.
Speaker 3: Day one was Tuesday. On day two of o t
Speaker 3: AS when the public's there, mentally, you're not learning anything
Speaker 3: new because you're just installing the basics. Like everything, everything
Speaker 3: is this basic. It's all Anadelbi. It's so basic. It's
Speaker 3: so basic. But from but from a technique standpoint, a
Speaker 3: physical standpoint, absolutely like that that. I think that's the
Speaker 3: reason why I enjoyed OTAs because you really could set
Speaker 3: like a purposeful and intension laiden practice out for yourself
Speaker 3: like the day before and say like, all right, I'm
Speaker 3: going to be working on this and this, and I
Speaker 3: want to work on my this and then and you
Speaker 3: get a chance to sort of refine your skills physically.
Speaker 5: I liked it.
Speaker 2: That's cool. I can't imagine how many players like walk
Speaker 2: in and you're like Jesus man, you haven't picked up
Speaker 2: a weight or even walked anywhere but to the fridge.
Speaker 3: Yes, the Star Wars tell us that guys and you
Speaker 3: guys would show up to training camp to get in shape.
Speaker 2: Can't do that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it was a little different back then
Speaker 3: because they didn't have the sort of off season, the
Speaker 3: intensive off season program, because they already had a Phase
Speaker 3: one whatever that really means of just strength and conditioning
Speaker 3: with the coaches and again all voluntary bases. So there
Speaker 3: are some guys that don't show up for that, and
Speaker 3: then they show up out of nowhere for OTAs and
Speaker 3: you're like, wow, Mead sauce Lo's like you've been living
Speaker 3: in your pantry.
Speaker 7: Yeah, wasn't Wasn't that the Brian McKinney bid. Wasn't it
Speaker 7: Leslie Fraser didn't They cut him because of it?
Speaker 5: I think it.
Speaker 7: Was Leslie's first year, traded him or cut him because
Speaker 7: he was So it sounds about right because I think
Speaker 7: going into twenty ten, going into twenty ten season with Childresses,
Speaker 7: last year he got fined.
Speaker 3: I mean when we checked in for training camp in
Speaker 3: man Cato, he was getting find I don't know, by
Speaker 3: the pound, literally by the pound. I don't know, a
Speaker 3: couple thousand dollars a day for the weight that he
Speaker 3: couldn't lose. I mean it was something crazy. They cut
Speaker 3: him August second, twenty eleven.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 3: I think Leslie having sitting back and observing and he
Speaker 3: probably watched all that, and then when he took over
Speaker 3: he was like, I'm not I'm not standing for any
Speaker 3: of that stuff. Like you either coming in shape and
Speaker 3: be motivated or are.
Speaker 1: You gone imagine loving food that much and.
Speaker 2: How much you must eat to be seven foot tall?
Speaker 3: Yep, man, I tell you what, though, I'm trying to
Speaker 3: sympathize with him, not just him, but in a way
Speaker 3: for all the big guys, because it's not about to me,
Speaker 3: it's not about not being not putting the fork down.
Speaker 3: It's about moving a three hundred and thirty pound body
Speaker 3: every day to the point where.
Speaker 5: You should be in football shape.
Speaker 3: That's a lot of effort, dude, Like, it's a lot
Speaker 3: more effort for those guys to go out there. Do
Speaker 3: you know a hard condition to work out or do
Speaker 3: whatever versus a two hundred and thirty pound linebacker, you know,
Speaker 3: so I get that it's difficult. Now he was especially
Speaker 3: laid back, so there's that. But all right, here's Kyler Murray.
Speaker 3: We'll play him first. On his relationship with JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 10: Been great.
Speaker 5: It's been great. Obviously.
Speaker 10: I know he's a younger guy, so any any way
Speaker 10: I can help him. Obviously, I feel like, you know,
Speaker 10: I've played seven years now, going on eight, so I'm
Speaker 10: considered a veteran, even though I don't see myself as
Speaker 10: that give him any knowledge that he needs. Again, you know,
Speaker 10: we're both competitors, and I know, you know, we both
Speaker 10: wont was best for the team.
Speaker 2: Compare and contrast. Here's JJ McCarthy on his relationship with Kyler.
Speaker 11: Now, it's just like two guys in a classroom.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 11: He sits on one side, I sit on the other side.
Speaker 11: And it's the coach's responsibility to teach us and coach us.
Speaker 5: So so I don't understand. So I guess I don't.
Speaker 3: Really, I don't truly understand what the issue you is
Speaker 3: here because I've seen all the fodder on social media.
Speaker 3: I mean, i'd like to hear you guys' opinions too,
Speaker 3: But like, I think I think one gave a political
Speaker 3: answer and one given honesty. That's exactly, and then so
Speaker 3: and so everybody's like, well, what is one's way more
Speaker 3: mature than the other. I'm like, what do you mean? Like,
Speaker 3: what what do you want out of athletes? Do you
Speaker 3: want honesty or do you want the political answer?
Speaker 6: The fodder part of it is what I hate about
Speaker 6: sports radio and sports in general is who cares? They're
Speaker 6: both just giving answers. Like you said, one of them
Speaker 6: was more honest than the other. We all know what's happening.
Speaker 6: Does it really matter if we dissect and nitpick every
Speaker 6: single word?
Speaker 1: It's just like, come on, what are we doing? But
Speaker 1: that's it.
Speaker 6: The inconsistency is what is driving the Twitter algorithm in
Speaker 6: the last twenty four hours, right, because the stories don't
Speaker 6: line up that one of that they're either on the
Speaker 6: two opposite sides of the room and they're not like
Speaker 6: collaborating at all. And then Kyle was like, yeah, I
Speaker 6: want to help them as much as possible. Jaj's like,
Speaker 6: I'm on the other side of the room. What are
Speaker 6: you talking about? Yeah, So it's it's whatever, who cares?
Speaker 7: Like college like classroom right where there's five hundred students.
Speaker 7: It's a small well, it's about as big as this room.
Speaker 2: Can I tell you guys something I heard though on
Speaker 2: the Guestling podcast. Yeah, that was a little more interesting
Speaker 2: than that. Guestling said that Carson Sam right, Carson wentz, No,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, who's the other I'm sorry? Sam? I said, yeah, Carson, Max,
Speaker 2: and Kyler all in one group doing things, and then
Speaker 2: JJ over by himself doing things. So I don't know
Speaker 2: if that maybe is a different No, maybe it's not
Speaker 2: a masking.
Speaker 3: The thing is like again, the public the reporters are
Speaker 3: allowed to see one day in practice.
Speaker 5: Sure, so I know that we're trying to.
Speaker 3: Like literally pull every fiber of every movement from every
Speaker 3: player and every interaction.
Speaker 5: We're going to dissect it.
Speaker 3: And I it's fair because that's what the media is
Speaker 3: supposed to do. I think that there's a lot of
Speaker 3: just truth and honesty about what's going on in the
Speaker 3: And the thing is about McCarthy from a public perspective,
Speaker 3: is I feel like if he gave an answer that
Speaker 3: was similar to Kyler Murray, obviously he's not going to
Speaker 3: say that he's a veteran, but if he was going
Speaker 3: to take the high road and give the political answer,
Speaker 3: he would have gotten destroyed. Like I truly think that
Speaker 3: this there is a big part of this fan base
Speaker 3: that really just wants to nitpick at everything that McCarthy
Speaker 3: says and does to the negative, like he he can't
Speaker 3: do anything right. So then in a moment of honesty,
Speaker 3: and of course he's got to be pissed in disappointed.
Speaker 3: I hope he's pissed and disappointed, Like I don't want
Speaker 3: would you want your potential franchise quarterback to sit back
Speaker 3: and just give this like political you know, dog laying
Speaker 3: on my back, rubbing my belly sort of answer. I wouldn't.
Speaker 3: I would like to see a little fire from my guy.
Speaker 3: And you know, whether he ends up being the long
Speaker 3: term answer or not. But I think I think he's
Speaker 3: gonna lose lose situation sometimes with our with our public
Speaker 3: fan base, and I sort of appreciate the fact that,
Speaker 3: like we all know that you shouldn't be happy about
Speaker 3: this situation. Nobody would, So why would you go out
Speaker 3: there and give this like, Hey, I'm just so happy
Speaker 3: he's here and we're just going to compete against each
Speaker 3: other and man, whatever's best for the team, I'm all
Speaker 3: for it.
Speaker 5: BS.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was talking to Tony Stone, who's with us
Speaker 2: on this trip this weekend, and we were talking about JJ.
Speaker 2: And here's an observation I had when I was talking
Speaker 2: to him that I don't think i'd had before, in
Speaker 2: my opinion, and you guys can disagree. I believe the
Speaker 2: public has given up on JJ McCarthy. I believe the
Speaker 2: Viking fans, not you know, not across the board, but
Speaker 2: the wider population of Viking fans have moved on from him.
Speaker 2: And if i'm JJ, that pisses me off, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean? Yeah, yeah, so I would. I am
Speaker 2: glad he's pissed off. I would be to same.
Speaker 5: Like that's the I guess that's the thing that I'm not.
Speaker 3: I don't know why everybody's so shocked, Maybe because we've
Speaker 3: been getting a little bit more political answers from him lately.
Speaker 2: And that's all we ever get from athletes, and somebody
Speaker 2: doesn't give us that.
Speaker 3: But but the thing is, it also wasn't so over
Speaker 3: the top angry and vitriol and like it was just
Speaker 3: here's the facts.
Speaker 5: He sits on this room, on this sether room. I
Speaker 5: send this sethe room. That's it. We're here to compete.
Speaker 3: It's he's not going to lean on Kyler for advice,
Speaker 3: Like that's he's not gonna be all I'm just a
Speaker 3: little brother to you.
Speaker 5: Now what do you what do you want from him?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 3: It's a probably a really tense situation. And you see
Speaker 3: the thing is you see it all the time. You
Speaker 3: see it every year in every room. There's always somebody
Speaker 3: there that's brought in to take your job. So everybody
Speaker 3: has to deal with it. He had to deal with
Speaker 3: it when he was at Michigan. He's the young kid
Speaker 3: that comes in and starting quarterback. Knew that he was
Speaker 3: there to take his job. Right, So now the roles
Speaker 3: are flipped. So now is it uncomfortable? Hell yeah, it's uncomfortable?
Speaker 3: Is it? Does it piss you off? Or you disappointed?
Speaker 5: Hell? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Do you feel like the organization has given you a
Speaker 3: giant side eye right now?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Because they are.
Speaker 6: I thought it was interesting Kyler doesn't see himself as
Speaker 6: a veteran after seven years.
Speaker 1: That was a weird way to word there. He's like,
Speaker 1: I don't really feel that. Yeah, but I don't strange.
Speaker 3: But having been in those shoes before, it it's just
Speaker 3: like anything in life when it things happen in a
Speaker 3: blink of an eye and you're technically a veteran at
Speaker 3: what year three? Players start looking at you like, oh,
Speaker 3: you're a vet.
Speaker 5: You're like, I'm a vet? What do you mean? I
Speaker 5: just got here?
Speaker 1: Figure?
Speaker 3: So I do think that life accelerates. You just have
Speaker 3: your head down and a lot of times you look
Speaker 3: up and you're like, I'm in year seven?
Speaker 6: What what just happened to Tis?
Speaker 3: So I get what he's saying that he doesn't. He
Speaker 3: probably doesn't feel like that even though he is, just
Speaker 3: because of the way life goes.
Speaker 2: Here's a an observation that I had as well. And
Speaker 2: tell me, if you think I'm right about this, I
Speaker 2: think what we just said. What I just said. You
Speaker 2: have Max, you have Carson, you have JJ, and you
Speaker 2: have Kyler. Four quarterbacks, three of them that could be starting.
Speaker 2: You know, that is the model that most NFL teams
Speaker 2: are going to have to have going forward because the
Speaker 2: amount of injuries that are happening in our league and
Speaker 2: now there are so many games you need you you
Speaker 2: don't need a quarterback in a backup. You need a
Speaker 2: couple of quarterbacks that are capable of being starting quarterbacks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well you really, you really do. And I think
Speaker 3: you know, what we're finding out, what we've known for
Speaker 3: a long time is it's even really hard to try
Speaker 3: to find guys that you think that you can that
Speaker 3: can come in and play a starting type of role
Speaker 3: if somebody got injured. You know, you look at Max Brosner,
Speaker 3: who's most likely going to be put on practice squad
Speaker 3: again if he makes it all the way through training
Speaker 3: camp and they still like him, but we saw what
Speaker 3: happens when he gets into a game, like there's still
Speaker 3: a big gap. So how do you how do you
Speaker 3: stockpile high quality quarterbacks that aren't going to be plucked
Speaker 3: from other teams? Because everybody that lands on practice squad
Speaker 3: can be plucked by another team as long as they're
Speaker 3: put on the actual roster. So that is the goal,
Speaker 3: and I think it becomes really really challenging to find
Speaker 3: who those guys are that can actually step in when
Speaker 3: when the time is need.
Speaker 2: Moradio one more guess with that. Sure, let's hear everybody
Speaker 2: asked about Juwan Jennings. I'll play you Kyler's answer, and
Speaker 2: I'll play jjm X answer. Obviously they're saying the right things,
Speaker 2: but seems like they're really really excited about this guy.
Speaker 10: Well and honestly, getting to meet him now it's been great.
Speaker 10: You know, I understand what type of competitor is. He's
Speaker 10: kind of given us fits for the past couple of years.
Speaker 10: Just really a dog, you know, throw it his way, uh,
Speaker 10: pretty ugly, whatever way it gets done, you know. And
Speaker 10: that's that's the type of guy's top of energy and
Speaker 10: juicy brings to the team.
Speaker 5: In the field.
Speaker 11: I'm so happy to have that guy part of the squad.
Speaker 11: You know, he's got a great energy about him. Been
Speaker 11: watching them for a long time. He's been doing it
Speaker 11: really at a high level for a long time, and
Speaker 11: we're blessed to have him part of this group.
Speaker 6: Kyler sounds exactly like somebody and I can't pace it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like.
Speaker 10: Honestly, getting to meet him now, it's been great. You know,
Speaker 10: I understand what type of competitor is. He's kind of
Speaker 10: given us fits for the past.
Speaker 1: Couple of years.
Speaker 10: Just really a dog, you know, throw it his way, uh,
Speaker 10: pretty ugly, whatever way it gets done, you know. And
Speaker 10: that's that's the type of guy's top of energy and
Speaker 10: juicy brings to the team in the field.
Speaker 2: It's right to tip my brain as well.
Speaker 3: The weird thing is he doesn't have the tone of
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes, but there's there's an intonation in the in
Speaker 3: the way that he pronounces words, and the cadence to
Speaker 3: me is Patrick Mahomes without the kermit voice.
Speaker 5: Well said, that's.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's really good.
Speaker 5: Ben Uh.
Speaker 2: We have catha of great wide receivers now, we really do.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we do.
Speaker 1: How does how does that?
Speaker 2: How does that work?
Speaker 5: How do you?
Speaker 2: How can you make that work?
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it is going to be it's going
Speaker 3: to be difficult. But I think the thing is with
Speaker 3: Juwan is my sense is he's not going to come
Speaker 3: in and say I need to be the ball hog.
Speaker 3: You know, there's only one football to go around this
Speaker 3: offense and I need to get the line's share of that.
Speaker 5: He seems like a guy.
Speaker 3: Now this is coming from John Lynch and with the
Speaker 3: forty nine ers, this is coming from the forty nine
Speaker 3: Ers fan base.
Speaker 5: He seems like a very.
Speaker 3: Unselfish player that makes plays when he's asked to make plays,
Speaker 3: not afraid to do the dirty work. Is an old
Speaker 3: school throwback wide receiver type of guy, where he will
Speaker 3: lay the wood on a run block. He will talk
Speaker 3: trash to you in your face. He's a tone setter.
Speaker 3: He brings a physical attitude. I love the mentality that
Speaker 3: he brings to this offense because I think every offense
Speaker 3: needs a guy like this. It's he's the guy that
Speaker 3: defenders hate playing against, but then love him when he's
Speaker 3: he's your teammate. So I don't think that there's going
Speaker 3: to be this diva ish attitude where, oh, well, Addison's
Speaker 3: getting more football than me, and I feel like I'm
Speaker 3: maybe more of a two B type of player. I
Speaker 3: understand that justin Jefferson's going to get his primary targets,
Speaker 3: but where's me?
Speaker 5: What about me?
Speaker 3: I don't think that we're going to get that from
Speaker 3: from Juwan. He's he's on another he's on another contract
Speaker 3: proven year, so it's in his best interest to go
Speaker 3: out there and show the rest of the league that
Speaker 3: he can back up what he did last year in
Speaker 3: a contract year again, and that's just being a good
Speaker 3: all around football player. Now, do I ever think that
Speaker 3: he's going to be like do I think that he's
Speaker 3: a true backup in case we lose Jordan Addison.
Speaker 5: I don't. I don't think that he's that type of player.
Speaker 3: Interesting, okay, but but I think he's gonna be a
Speaker 3: great compliment to what we're doing on this offense. And
Speaker 3: I think that in my mind, he's just more of
Speaker 3: an extension of the tight end room.
Speaker 5: Person is an extension of the wide receiver room.
Speaker 1: Well said, well said, nailed it.
Speaker 2: They liked the way you said that that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well we got any other controversy that that came
Speaker 3: up from yesterday.
Speaker 2: Well, we'll talk about when we come back.
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, okay, right, let's.
Speaker 1: Make something up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 1: Let's make it really spicy.
Speaker 2: Harrisons decided to take over the Timberwolves coaching job.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll talk about that after this. Power to
Speaker 1: your morning, Joe on the Fan.
