Pete Lee, Hello, a. 22 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 2: Hey, Oh my god, it's so good to be here. 23 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 2: It's so good to be here. I remember when you 24 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 2: first went up at Acme Comedy Club and I got 25 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,839 Speaker 2: to see how funny you were, and you're all tall 26 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 2: and good looking and confident, and I think my first 27 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 2: sentence that I uttered about you was like, God, I 28 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 2: hate this guy. And then like I met you in 29 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 2: the bar right and I didn't hate you for any 30 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 2: reason other than like envy, you know, because like nobody's 31 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 2: that good that first their first time. And then like 32 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 2: you were tall and good looking and super confident, and 33 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 2: then you and I hung out in the bar afterwards. 34 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 2: I was like, oh, this is awesome. And I think 35 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 2: I was doing a show there and you were one 36 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 2: of the openers. And then I was like, like, all 37 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 2: week long, I watched like every set that you did, 38 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 2: and I was like, this guy is brilliant. 39 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 1: Here's the thing, Pete, that's the nicest thing anybody said 40 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: on this show to me, ever, And I'm not gonna 41 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: have it, okay, don't you it's Packer week, don't you. 42 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: I understand what you're doing. You're the sweetest man alive, 43 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 1: and I know you mean those things, but you you're 44 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: saying them because you're recording this podcast in your car, 45 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 1: and you don't want me to mention it. First of all, 46 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: you look great, you sound great. You are recording in 47 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: your car, which feels like the if I had to 48 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: pick a place that a Packer fan would record a 49 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: podcast from, it would be a vehicle. But in in 50 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: true contradictory fashion, it is an electric vehicle. So it's 51 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: a real packer conundrum here. 52 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's a real packer conundrum. I will say, 53 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 2: I am so. My wife is doing a zoom call 54 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 2: right now. Sure, and like many of us, you know, 55 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 2: like when they're on the call in the office that's 56 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 2: in the living room, you're basically like, I feel like 57 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 2: I'm one of her co workers. I actually feel like 58 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 2: I'm a janitor at her work, because like last week, 59 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 2: this lady quit and she my wife was talking to 60 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 2: her boss and they're like, man, we just didn't see 61 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 2: Pamela quitting. I'm like, I'm like, I saw it coming. 62 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,119 Speaker 2: I'm just mopping in the background. I'm totally the janitor 63 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 2: at her tech firm. 64 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: I feel that way all the time. I especially when 65 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: there's conflict at my wife's work. I like start pacing 66 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: by the door, like trying to whisper things that I 67 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: think she should say in response. I'm the worst. It's 68 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: that's the problem with being a comedian is you are 69 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: in the home, and if the other person works in 70 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: the home, well, guess what you got the worst cubicle 71 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: mate of all time? 72 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, because I mean, like I used to work in 73 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 2: advertising when I lived in Minneapolis, and like like I 74 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 2: always had that guy that like had less to you 75 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 2: than I did, you know, Like like I was in 76 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 2: the Internet department, which was booming, and then there was 77 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 2: this guy in accounting that would just come down to 78 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 2: my cubicle and he had all day to talk and 79 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 2: I just had no time to talk. And now I'm 80 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 2: him in our house because I have all day. I'm 81 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 2: a comedian. I'm video editing when I want to, and 82 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 2: like I'm I do video editing, and I also hired 83 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 2: an editor, so like my wife knows that I have 84 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 2: nothing to do, and like, if I am going to 85 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 2: do any editing, it's by my choice. So like I'm 86 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 2: always popping in, like, hey, you want to take a break, 87 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 2: you want to go down to the coffee shop and 88 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 2: grab a donut? You know, Like she's she's doing that 89 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 2: right now in the house because she's the man of 90 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 2: the house and I'm relegated to the car well. 91 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: And let's not sell yourself short here, Pete. You're not 92 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: just an editor that had to hire another editor. You're 93 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: also the owner of a sports franchise. Because your fan 94 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: base is filled with people who have a piece of 95 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: paper that told them they own their franchise. Congratulations on 96 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: your ownership. 97 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 2: Oh thank you. 98 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. 99 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 2: The ownership was given to me by probably the worst 100 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 2: girlfriend that I ever have had in my life. And 101 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 2: I remember when I got that Christmas present from her. 102 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 2: When I got that Christmas present from her, I was like, 103 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 2: I was like, I think this is gonna be the 104 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 2: best thing to come out of this miserable relationship. Like 105 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 2: she wound up cheating on me with a TGI Friday's 106 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 2: bus boy. But you know what, I'm a Packers owner 107 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 2: because she got me that for Christmas. 108 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: The problem with I think a lot of Viking fans 109 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: love to make fun of the ownership thing. They love 110 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 1: to poke at it. And I do think that makes 111 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: sense because you guys have a worthless piece of paper. 112 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: But at the same time, I think there's an envy 113 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: from other fan bases because if you're honest, you go, 114 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: I would absolutely do that if that was my team, 115 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: I would one hundred percent that. 116 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 2: I know that it's worthless. But I will say this 117 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 2: about Packers fans. I know dozens of people that do 118 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 2: not know that that piece of paper is worthless. They're 119 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,799 Speaker 2: they're like, we go around owners meeting every single year 120 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 2: because they do that. 121 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: I'm here to tell Mark Murphy what I think and 122 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: that's my right as someone who owns stock in this company. 123 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, and like they let us take a vote. Like 124 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 2: the last time that I went, we we voted to 125 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 2: let Brett Favre back on the team officially so we 126 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 2: could put him in the Hall of Fame. And there 127 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 2: were people at that meeting that were like, all right, well, 128 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 2: let's see, let's see how this vote goes. And I'm like, 129 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 2: how do you think it's gonna go? Man, Like, like 130 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 2: Brett Farve is, Brett Favre is here, like he should. 131 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 2: He flew in on a private plane. There we're gonna 132 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 2: vote him in. 133 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: Can you imagine Brett Favre getting on a plane flying 134 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: to Green Bay under the guys Like, that's got to 135 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 1: be the most rigged of all time. He's not getting 136 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: on that plane unless Mark Murphy's like, listen here, Brett, 137 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: it could be ten thousand to zero. Nay, we're gonna 138 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: flip it. You don't worry. We got you. There's no 139 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: way that goes the other way. 140 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, And when they were like like do you vote, 141 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 2: you know, like all a posed, you know, like and 142 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 2: then a few people were like and then they're like 143 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 2: all four and Brett fav literally like like stuck up 144 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 2: his hands like he was like he was accepting the 145 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 2: ovation that he was getting. And it was like it 146 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 2: just was so rigged. But yeah, every year they have 147 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 2: some sort of a vote where it's like should we 148 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 2: have caramel corn at the concession stands? And then we 149 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 2: get to take a vote, and it's like our vote 150 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 2: really matters.

This 154 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: organization has made the mistake of granting me access. I 155 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: was just at the Niners game, walking around on the 156 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: field at the same time as all the important people, 157 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: and that's an absurd choice on their part. I really 158 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Let's be very clear about that. But if 159 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: you put me in, do you know how serious I 160 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: would take an ownership meeting?

What I was doing 174 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,079 Speaker 2: is I was I was on YouTube and I did 175 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 2: an NFL recap show every single week, and I was 176 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 2: using like unauthorized video and pictures and then I got 177 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 2: I got an email from the NFL, like from their lawyers, 178 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 2: and then I basically told them, like they were like, 179 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 2: can you take this down? And I was like no. 180 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 2: And this was before like the NFL could just go 181 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 2: to YouTube and have them take it down. There just 182 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 2: wasn't a channel for that, you know, back in those days. 183 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 2: And so like I said no to them, and like 184 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 2: if my clips circulated around the office, because they're like, 185 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 2: can you believe that this jerk like just said no 186 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 2: to us, We're the NFL. And then enough people saw 187 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,839 Speaker 2: my clips that they're like, maybe we should do something 188 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 2: with this guy. So the NFL network man reached out 189 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 2: to me and they were like, hey, do you want 190 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,199 Speaker 2: to do like kind of do your show as a pilot, 191 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 2: but like you got to take your stuff down from YouTube. 192 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 2: And so I made that deal with them, and we 193 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 2: actually like I would go to the NFL headquarter. It 194 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 2: was on Park Avenue in New York, and I would 195 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 2: like we we developed the show, we recorded it and 196 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 2: it was awesome, and Roger Goodell ultimately didn't end up 197 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 2: letting it go. Maybe it wasn't very good or I 198 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 2: don't know what it was but like. 199 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: No, I think you should stand firm on that. I 200 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: think I think your message should be that the commissioner 201 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: of the NFL voted no on your pilot. I think 202 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: that's a good stance to take. 203 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think yeah, he voted no. The note 204 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 2: that we got back was that they didn't want to 205 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 2: build a brand and then erode it through humor, was 206 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 2: what what I had the feedback that I got. And 207 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 2: to be fair to Commissioner Goodell, I don't know if 208 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 2: he didn't want to wrote it through humor or through 209 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 2: my humor, he could have just felt like, this is 210 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 2: not funny, and I don't want this to ruin our 211 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 2: brand by being not funny. I don't know. 212 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 1: That's the best part. Here's the thing. So I've been 213 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: in whatever whatever, this version of comedy sports thing. I've 214 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,719 Speaker 1: been in it for a number of years now. And 215 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: my favorite thing about it. You would think it would 216 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 1: be like the access and the creativity and the unique path. 217 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: It's always the people who don't believe. I like at 218 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: ESPN that when they were like, hey, we're gonna do 219 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: Sports Center but on your phone with a comic, there 220 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: were people in that building. And then Pete what I 221 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: would do is I would show up like prior to 222 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: my show, and ESPN is like a campus. It's this big, 223 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: beautiful campus. It reminds you of a college town. And 224 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: they have a cafeteria, they have all the studios, all 225 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 1: the buildings. So I always worked a night shift, but 226 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: I'd want to get there in time to eat and 227 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,839 Speaker 1: see the people that I liked that work during the 228 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: day because there was a day team and a night team, 229 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: and I would always show up in like shorts or 230 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 1: if I was wearing long paints, it was tights with 231 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 1: shorts on top of it. And I'd been there like 232 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: two months and I finally had somebody of pretty large 233 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: reputation be like, hey, you should wear some pants, and 234 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: I was like what, and he goes, this is ESPN, 235 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: we wear pants around here. And I literally was like, yeah, 236 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: but I wear shorts, and I just kept going. So 237 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: I do love I do love being in that realm. 238 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 1: I think if you're in the world where there are 239 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: people who go I don't know if this works, either 240 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: they're going to be wrong or right. But I think 241 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: it's a fun I think it's a fun conflict. 242 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. I love naysayers. 243 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, Fortunately this team. You know, we don't pull the 244 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: curtain back on this show very often, but this podcast 245 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: is the direct result of the leadership at the Vikings 246 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: and their content team being willing to I mean, imagine 247 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,199 Speaker 1: going to an NFL team like I want to get 248 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: Bert Kreischer and Dan Soder and Pete Lee and just 249 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: let's just talk and see what happens. And they were like, 250 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: we love it. So that's that's pretty unusual. Man. 251 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I think the Vikings 252 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 2: I'm a Packerson, but I think the Vikings are a 253 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 2: pretty cool organization in general. 254 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: Far less owners. 255 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you guys are not owners, but like watching 256 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 2: that Quarterback show, just seeing that like like they had 257 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 2: team psychiatrists or psychologists that like Kirk Cousins would go 258 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 2: talk to. I don't I mean, I don't think the 259 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 2: Packers have that. I think they're like go to the bar, 260 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,959 Speaker 2: you know, like if you're having trouble, shot a shot 261 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 2: of Jmo and drink drink a spotted cow. 262 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: Can you imagine how Packers fans And I'm going to 263 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: be very stereotypical here and I will own that. So 264 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: hit me with your messages, Packer fans Can you imagine 265 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: if your quarterback was on that Netflix show and they 266 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: watched him go to a psychologist or a psychiatrist. I 267 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: think psychologists, psychiast. I'm not good on knowing what professions 268 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 1: are pretty sure psychologist. But if they'd shown a PAS 269 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: quarterback doing that, there'd be guys everywhere like not on 270 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: my watch. Brother, We don't talk about nothing in this state. 271 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: We bury it. 272 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 2: If Jordan Love went to a psychiatrist every single time 273 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 2: that he got sacked, they'd be like, yeah, he got 274 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 2: his feelings hurt. They hit Oh they hit him right 275 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 2: in the feelings. Oh yeah, Yeah. There's there's just so 276 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 2: many and not that there's not Minnesota townies, but like 277 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 2: there's just so many Monday morning, you know, towny quarterbacks 278 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 2: in Wisconsin, and they all know what they what he 279 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 2: should do, and they're so funny. 280 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: Well that's the unique thing about so we both came 281 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: up at the same club in Minneapolis and then but 282 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: when you start and you're young, you go on the road. 283 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: And a big version of going on the road is 284 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: traveling around Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa doing one night ER's 285 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: in towns like there's people here, yeah that want this 286 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: you people. You're trying to tell me that people in 287 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: this town are gonna come watch me try to make 288 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: them laugh. And the thing that I learned very early 289 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: is there is nothing I am less interested in whilst 290 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: doing small town Midwestern gigs than any football conversation. Oh yeah, 291 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: that is. Nothing will make you care about football less 292 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: than performing in your rival state and then finding out 293 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: you're from Minnesota. It's awful. 294 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 2: It's really funny how offensive it is to people in Wisconsin. 295 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 2: And like I've always I joke about it on stage, 296 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 2: like people are like, oh, you're from Minnesota. Oh oh no, 297 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 2: how could you? And it's like it's it's really kind 298 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 2: of all the same place. And at some point a 299 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 2: drunk guy drew lines, you know, like like I I'm 300 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 2: a bit about how the Lions like like this, like 301 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 2: the states could be like Minnesota could basically be a rectangle, 302 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 2: but they just drew it all weird. But I mean 303 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 2: it's pretty much the same place. I think they have 304 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 2: a lot of the same agricultural interests. They're like, you know, 305 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 2: like I mean, you know there's that bar that's like 306 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 2: right on the border of Minnesota and Wisconsin. It's like 307 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:14,479 Speaker 2: and it's like painted half Wisconsin colors and half Minnesota colors, 308 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 2: and it's it's like literally the same place. But we've 309 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 2: created these these divisions through the NFL. And it's not 310 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 2: that there's there's state rivalries. It's how serious they are 311 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 2: about it and how they don't even have a perception 312 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 2: that it's semi ridiculous. 313 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: Spoiler alert. We also like and produce a fair amount 314 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: of cheese. Yeah, but I will say I do love it. 315 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: I I both cannot take it seriously, but I don't 316 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: want to deal with it. When I'm doing a stand 317 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: up show, I don't like if you put me on 318 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:53,359 Speaker 1: stage and you introduce me as from Minnesota in Janesville, 319 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: It's it's the worst. Now I've got to convince seventy 320 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: dads that I'm worth listening to for fifty teen minutes 321 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: because they think I might not like their favorite running back. 322 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 1: And I don't have a ton of time for that. 323 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: But when you go to a like a divisional rivalry tailgate, Oh, 324 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: paint that all over my wall so I can stare 325 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: at it forever. Grown men in cheese hats and grown 326 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: men in horn hats shouting at each other poorly I'll 327 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: watch that over most other sporting events. It's a really 328 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 1: good time for me. 329 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 2: I had a friend who is a diehard Eagles fan, 330 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 2: and the Eagles fan who's just used to the link, 331 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 2: you know, used to Phillies fans came to Lambeau with 332 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 2: me to watch Eagles packers, and it was so funny 333 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 2: because like the way the way Midwesterners like talk trash 334 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 2: is just way different than the Eagles fans. So, like 335 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 2: my Eagles fan friend was walking through with the Eagles 336 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,479 Speaker 2: jersey like I'm gonna get jumped, I'm gonna get beat up. 337 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 2: And they were like, oh, you're. 338 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 3: An Eagles fan, all right, well have a bloody marian. 339 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you how bad you are.

And then they made my 342 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 3: friend do like three shots with them, and and my 343 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 3: friend was like they were so nice. They get they 344 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 3: gave me like three shots. I'm like, yeah, they're poisoning 345 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 3: you slowly with the poison that they've become accustomed to. 346 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 3: I'm like, don't do so many shots because we still 347 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 3: have three blocks to go until the stadium and that's 348 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 3: how they're gonna that's how they're gonna bring you down. 349 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 2: And he's like, they gave me a broughtwurst. I'm like, yeah, 350 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 2: like you're you have diabetes. Now, like we literally that's 351 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 2: how we get you. 352 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna kill you with with sustenance. 353 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 2: And then the next year, my buddy was like, all right, well, 354 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 2: I'm gonna get you tickets to the Link. We're gonna 355 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 2: go out to Philly. And We're driving through the parking 356 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 2: lot and I have my Aaron Rodgers jersey on and 357 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 2: people are literally founding on my car because I like, 358 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 2: I we're in a Packers jersey and they can see 359 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 2: it in my rental car and I'm like, oh my god, 360 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 2: I am in danger. And so I just kept driving 361 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 2: slowly until I found these two giant dudes. They looked 362 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 2: like they were like Packers linemen and now they just 363 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 2: go to all the games. Like these dudes were huge, 364 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 2: and I parked right next to him and I popped 365 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 2: up in my trunk and I was like, Hey, I 366 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 2: have all this food, all this booze, like I'll cook 367 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 2: for you. I was like, just walk me into the game. 368 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 2: And these guys were like, yeah, we're actually bodyguards, that's 369 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 2: what we do for a living. And so I gave 370 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 2: them two hundred dollars and they actually they walked me 371 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,959 Speaker 2: and my friend out of the game too, so like 372 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 2: they're like, here's my cell number. But like I was 373 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 2: in physical danger in Philly. It's like a way different 374 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 2: thing East Coast to Midwest. But that's why, like, like 375 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 2: I've been to Packers Vikings games back when is at 376 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 2: the Metrodome, and like I've been around Minnesota fans and 377 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 2: they're the same way where they'll they'll they'll really get 378 00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 2: after you and they'll make fun of you for being 379 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 2: a Packers fan, but they're like they're not going to 380 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 2: hurt you. That's the key thing. 381 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: I've said this before. I was at the Randy Moss 382 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 1: Moon game. H I did feel in the third quarter 383 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: because that was a blowout and nobody expected it. And 384 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: I remember cheering after a touchdown at some point in 385 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: the second half and being like, oh, let's put our 386 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: jackets on. Like I felt that because that was the playoffs. 387 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: But even then, the worst we got was like some 388 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: bad looks And that's always been my experience on the 389 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: way out to that game. It was my nephew Seth 390 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 1: and I. I've got a big Hillbilly family. So I 391 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 1: was nineteen with my nearly adult nephew and he was 392 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: a senior in high school and we were driving out 393 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 1: to that game, and we stopped at a truck stop 394 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 1: and I locked my keys in the car, and so 395 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: we were We eventually called someone to come open it 396 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 1: for us, but for a minute there we were in 397 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: the heart of Wisconsin, at a Wisconsin truck stop on 398 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: the day of a Packer playoff game, trying to break 399 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: wearing Vikings gear, trying to break into my own car 400 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 1: with a coat hanger, and people were helping us. If 401 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: that happened in Philadelphia, just leave your car and go 402 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: back to your home city, because nothing. If you're not 403 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 1: in that car in thirty seconds, it's not gonna end awesome. 404 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:25,679 Speaker 1: I don't think. 405 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, like people would be heckling you, because number one, 406 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 2: if you're in Philly, they're better at breaking into cars 407 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 2: than you, and they're they were like, hey, pal, nice try. 408 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: You don't even got one of those magnets. 409 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 2: Why don't you got a magnet? One time I was outside, 410 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 2: I was outside of one of the Philly cheese steak places. 411 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 2: I won't say, all right, it was Gino's. I'm friends 412 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 2: with Geno from Geno's Cheese Steaks. And I was just 413 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 2: trying to parallel park my rental car and this guy 414 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 2: didn't like the way I was parallel parking, and then 415 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 2: he wanted to fight me when I got out of it. 416 00:21:58,480 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: It's total Norman. 417 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 2: I was like, this town is psycho, like like Philly 418 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 2: is psycho. It's absolutely insane. 419 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: That's how you can tell where the walls fall down 420 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: between Packers and Vikings fans because and I think Bears 421 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: fans are a little bit outside that, because Bear's Chicago 422 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 1: has a different attitude, right, I don't find their attitude 423 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: to be as similar to our two team and fan 424 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: base's attitudes. But it never becomes more apparent how similar 425 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: we are than we're like, hey, let's talk about that 426 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: team that has a that used to have a jail 427 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: underneath their stadium. Should we talk about them for a minute, 428 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: And we're just like, yeah, let's all hug and go 429 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: to the game together. We like each other. It's a 430 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 1: very very different vibe. And I you know, obviously Viking fans, 431 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: with how poorly things have gone for us in Philadelphia 432 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,919 Speaker 1: the last few years. Will will lap up all of 433 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: your Philly disdain Pete for sure? 434 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,199 Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah. Last night, so I'm we have a 435 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 2: house in Arizona, and so we're down here for the 436 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 2: Diamondbacks win. And we went to a bar and there 437 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 2: were these Phillies fans that were there and they're like 438 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 2: a kid believe we're losing at home. And I'm like, 439 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 2: it's not an advantage for the Phillies to be at home, 440 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 2: because if the Phillies start losing, it's not like your 441 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 2: fans are going to be supportive. Like the fans were 442 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 2: booing their team when they're down two to four in 443 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 2: the NLCS last night. I'm like, it's a disadvantage for 444 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 2: them to be at home. 445 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: Home field advantage turns to a non one really quick 446 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,199 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia if you're not playing as well as the 447 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: fans want you to. 448 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,239 Speaker 2: Being a Philadelphia sportsperson and losing at home is like 449 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,479 Speaker 2: if you're at home with your wife that told you 450 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,199 Speaker 2: that you should hire a plumber, and you're underneath the 451 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 2: sink and you start, you break the pipe and it's 452 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 2: eight thirty pm and now you can't even go to 453 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 2: the hardware store to get a replacement thing, and she's 454 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 2: heckling you, going, we should have called a plumber now 455 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 2: now our waters show off. I can't even shower before 456 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 2: work tomorrow, Like like you're a disappointment at home. That's 457 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 2: what being a Philadelphia sportsperson must be like, playing at 458 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 2: home when you're losing. 459 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: Speaking of being at home, because I will gloss over this. 460 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 1: It just popped into my brain and I will gloss 461 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 1: over it and forget to mention it and be mad 462 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: at myself. I like knowing how people watch games. You know, 463 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: do you like at home? Do you like the stays? 464 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: But very specifically, I would like you to discuss when 465 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: you watch a game, when the game starts, tell me 466 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: what happens in your home? Pete. 467 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,479 Speaker 2: All right, So we have a little shelf and the 468 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,360 Speaker 2: it's a shelf in the pantry, and there's a special 469 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,919 Speaker 2: spot at the bottom of the pantry right next to 470 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 2: my dog's food. And my dog has his packers callar, 471 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 2: which is a caller that's like way too big for him, 472 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 2: Like it's almost like a packer's necklace. Because when my 473 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 2: wife went and bought it for him to surprise me, 474 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,160 Speaker 2: she just didn't size the dog's neck for it or whatever. 475 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 2: So he wears his normal collar and then over it 476 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 2: it's almost like he's got like a fabric wrapper chain. 477 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 2: And as soon as the game starts, and my dog 478 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 2: knows that, like all the packer snacks are out and 479 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 2: all the like, you know, there's like a cheese play with. 480 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 2: My dog loves cheese. He knows that if he goes 481 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,199 Speaker 2: and he gets his collar and he brings it to me, 482 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,160 Speaker 2: I'll put it on him and he'll get a piece 483 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 2: of cheese and then we can watch the game. But 484 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 2: I'm not a superstitious person. My wife is superstitious, but 485 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 2: she's like, have you ever noticed that if Diesel's not 486 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 2: wearing his collar for the game, the Packers lose? And 487 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 2: so like for the Packers Bears game, Diesel was wearing 488 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 2: his collar. And then for this season, we've been traveling 489 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 2: a bunch, so Diesel has we haven't had his collar 490 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 2: to even be with him, and so the Packers have 491 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 2: been losing. And then you know, a couple of weeks ago, 492 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 2: they you know, they won and it's because he had 493 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 2: his collar. And so I just want to say, as 494 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 2: an owner, I've been really letting our franchise down. Like 495 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 2: the thing that we should really vote on in the 496 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 2: in the Packers meetings is like should Diesel always travel 497 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 2: with his caller? That's that's the key piece. 498 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it. That's a tough thing to admit. Like, Hi, everybody, 499 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: I'm Pete, I'm an owner. I just want to say 500 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: sorry for last year we didn't bring Diesel's collar with 501 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 1: him on weeks that we weren't gonna be home. Just boh, 502 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: the booze pour down, but transition alert. 503 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, you. 504 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: This is something else I wouldn't handle. Well. You live 505 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: down the street from future Hall of Famer slash former 506 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: Packers great slash current New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers. 507 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: Do you what? How as a Packer fan, how do 508 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: you handle that? Have you been pretty chill about it? 509 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 2: Ah? No. I first of all, I've never met Aaron Rodgers, 510 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 2: but I've driven past his house slowly, which he I 511 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 2: won't say the street that he lives on in in 512 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 2: California or the road or whatever. But when he announced 513 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 2: that he was going to the Jets, I almost went 514 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 2: down to his house and I did a bit about 515 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 2: it because I just I just started talking about it 516 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 2: on stage. I was I was on stage in Wisconsin. 517 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 2: I just started talking about it. I'm like, yeah, I 518 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 2: almost went down to his house. And but then my 519 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 2: my wife was like, Pete, you're gonna get arrested. And 520 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 2: I was like, I'll just wear an Aaron Rodgers jersey 521 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 2: and people would be like, who's who. And then my 522 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 2: wife added, she goes, she goes, well, they'll know that 523 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 2: you're the real Aaron Rodgers if you just kind of 524 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 2: walk with a calf cramp. And this was before his injury, 525 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 2: so I'm not trying to make a tasteless insult or whatever, 526 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 2: but like he always had that calf cramp like he 527 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 2: would he would, you know, limp, and his calf was 528 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 2: always hurting him. And so yeah, that I didn't end 529 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 2: up going down there. I still love him even though 530 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 2: he left the team. 531 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 1: But you know, it's interesting. You have such a storied history, 532 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 1: so you can make a case for a lot of 533 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 1: different guys, you know, but there's a pretty good case 534 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: to be made that he's the greatest packer of all time. 535 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,239 Speaker 1: He's in that like some that's that sentence is going 536 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: to hit a lot of different people, a lot of 537 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: different ways, but I think there's a conversation there. And 538 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: to have somebody like that so close living to you, yeah, 539 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: I can understand how somebody get a little weird about that. 540 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: You could put Matthew Hatchet on my street and I'd 541 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: be weird about that. And Pete, I guarantee you've never 542 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: even heard that name. I think he was the fourth 543 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: wide receiver back in the late nineties early two thousands, 544 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: So that's you could do that and I'd just be 545 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,479 Speaker 1: watching walking by, Like I wonder if hatches outside today. 546 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: So I'm impressed. I'm impressed by your ability to not 547 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: be like I bet Aaron and I are going to 548 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: get real close here as friends and neighbors. 549 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 2: I mean I shouldn't say this, but like he doesn't 550 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 2: even have a git on his house like I think 551 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 2: nowadays with all the cameras and all that kind of stuff, 552 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 2: like like you're you're so safe digitally, you know, and 553 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 2: also like if somebody wants to get into your lawn, 554 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 2: you know, most of the gates in California are like 555 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 2: four feet tall, like you could just hop over that 556 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 2: or whatever. It's but like I don't know, Yeah, I 557 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 2: mean he and he probably has security and all that 558 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 2: kind of stuff. Can you tell I've thought about it? 559 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is like listening to a guy 560 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: going through his checklist of reasons it wouldn't work. But 561 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: you don't know. Pete is like those were his bodyguards 562 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. They were just on vacation for the week. 563 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 2: Yeah they were. They like, yeah, I mean he was 564 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 2: playing in that game, so maybe they just didn't need 565 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 2: to while he's on the field, you know, they can't 566 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 2: guard him. 567 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, they just get their tickets. They're like, well, we're 568 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: normally we protect this really impressive guy. Let's help this 569 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: boy into the stadium. He seems scared, and let's help 570 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: him all the way through. 571 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 2: It was funny, you know, like Aaron Rodgers is friends 572 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 2: with a lot of comedians, Like you know, I'm I'm 573 00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 2: tight with Bert and you know, he's tight with Burt, 574 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 2: and he's tight with Rogan and all those guys. And 575 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 2: he's really tight with Nick Schwartzen, who's our friend. And 576 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 2: so it's it's interesting because I think one of the 577 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 2: things that stopped me from just walking down there and 578 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 2: knocking on his door to introduce myself is that like 579 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm gonna meet him under cooler circumstances. 580 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: That's the rationale I wanted Pete. That's the lunacy that 581 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: I can get on board with. Right there, when Sigura 582 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: was in I think somewhere in the area, Mike Cronin, 583 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: our friend, was opening for him, and so he and 584 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: Sigura got to meet a lot of the packers and 585 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers was there, and Cronin was just talking about 586 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: how great and like easy going of a guy he was, 587 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 1: and I just couldn't hear it. I just I was like, 588 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: give this to anybody else. I don't want this, and 589 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: this was I don't need this, I don't care about this. Oh, 590 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: is he the best? Is he a nice fun hangout? 591 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: Take it somewhere else. I don't care at all. I'm 592 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: glad he's great. I just have that energy where I 593 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: used to live in the Topanga Topanga Canyon when I 594 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: lived in LA and I was in a Vaughn's grocery 595 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 1: store and I turned around a corner and Clay Matthews 596 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: was there. And I think most normal football fans, and 597 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: this is at the height of Clay Matthews, would have 598 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: been like Clay Matthews and all I could say to 599 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 1: him is like I don't like you at all, and 600 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: he's like Viking fan and I was like yep, and 601 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: he goes cool and then we just parted ways. You know. 602 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: I did it like kind of in a funny way, 603 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 1: so he didn't think that I was being a dick, 604 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: but I just I don't want to hear it. Here's 605 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 1: the thing, this is how petty I am. I want 606 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: you in two years to come back on the show 607 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: and be like, you're never gonna believe it. I met 608 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and all he did was make fun of 609 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: my ownership of the team. I'd be like, well, now 610 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: that's good. That's the story. That's the story. He made 611 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,239 Speaker 1: fun of our meetings. I would love that. That's the 612 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: story I need. 613 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 2: I wonder if the players ever have to go to 614 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 2: those ownership meetings and then they're walking through the tunnel 615 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 2: and they're like losers. 616 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 1: I've been really lucky to be around a bunch of 617 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: the players with the Vikings. And I do think, as 618 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: with any profession, like you're gonna run into some accountants 619 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 1: who are apples, right. There's just there's always going to 620 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: be people in every profession that just aren't super kind. 621 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 1: But I have been beyond impressed with the way the 622 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: players that I've met and spend time with, with the 623 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: way they wear the fans' passion. And I don't know, 624 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: like if that's part of the modern era. You know, 625 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 1: for so long there was this disconnect between the fans 626 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 1: and the players. And now with podcasts and social media, 627 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 1: like Draymond Green has, all these players have complete access 628 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 1: to the fans and the fans have access to them. 629 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: And although I think there's been negatives on both sides, 630 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: like fans who take it too far and players who don't, 631 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: more often than not I think there is this love 632 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: and appreciation from players that is like, oh, I we 633 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 1: know why you're so upset or you're so happy, and 634 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 1: we really like the ability to be in front of you. 635 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,959 Speaker 1: Maybe that's a new school thing, but I feel that 636 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 1: vibe all the time when I'm around players. 637 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 2: We're talking about the East Coast fans versus the Midwestern fans. 638 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 2: I bet Vikings players are like, man, this community means 639 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 2: everything to me. I bet Packers fans are like, man, 640 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:36,239 Speaker 2: this community is so awesome. Our fans they love us 641 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 2: even when we lose. But Man, to be a Giants, 642 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 2: like a New York Giant, you know, a Philadelphia Eagle. 643 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 2: That has to be hard sometimes when you get booed 644 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 2: at home to deal with that. I mean, oh yeah, 645 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 2: I remember when I lived out in New York City. 646 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 2: Derek Jeter hit his three thousandth hit, which if you 647 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 2: remember that, it was a home run, and then at 648 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 2: the next at bat he struck out and the fans 649 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:08,879 Speaker 2: boot him. It was like the most New York thing 650 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 2: that I've ever seen in my life. And he just 651 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 2: kind of like went to the dugout like like okay, 652 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 2: you know, like like yep, I couldn't done. I mean, 653 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 2: people came to the game to try to get video 654 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 2: on their dumb phones of his three thousandth hit and 655 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 2: it wound up being a home run and then they 656 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 2: boot him. It was like, I don't know how you 657 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 2: couldn't have some sort of sense of humor about your 658 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 2: own fans if you're a New York sports person, Yeah, 659 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,839 Speaker 2: you know, but you got you gotta say. I love 660 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 2: the fans, but I feel like if I was an 661 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 2: Eagles player or a New York sports person, I would 662 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 2: go home and like my wife and I call it 663 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 2: couch time, you know. Where like we can just say 664 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 2: things that like you can't say to anybody else, you know, 665 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 2: you don't want to put it on Twitter. We can 666 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 2: just have couch time. If I was an Eagles or 667 00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 2: a Giants player, I'd go home and be like, Babe, 668 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,439 Speaker 2: couch time. Oh my god, they buddh us at home 669 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,879 Speaker 2: like I dropped the ball, and yeah they were right, 670 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 2: but like, oh my god, like these people, like some 671 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 2: of them, I just got booed by some of the 672 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 2: most unathletic people on the planet. 673 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 1: That's I was talking about this with a buddy recently. 674 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:21,320 Speaker 1: The wild thing about sports is so Kirk Cousins, you said, 675 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,800 Speaker 1: you know, with the it's been really interesting with the 676 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:31,280 Speaker 1: Quarterback documentary to give everybody a glimpse of his inner world. 677 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:35,240 Speaker 1: And you know, there's as he's always been a hot topic, 678 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 1: you know, in Washington and now in Minnesota. But I 679 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 1: was talking with a buddy and I was like, imagine, 680 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: I'm just imagining this for a second. So let's say 681 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,280 Speaker 1: I don't I don't like rankings. I'm not interested in rankings, 682 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,279 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna give a ranking for the sake of it. 683 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 1: Let's say you think Kirk Cousins is the eighth best 684 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,360 Speaker 1: quarterback in the league or the tenth or the twelfth, 685 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: I don't care. Just pick one for the sake of 686 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:04,160 Speaker 1: the conversation and you go, okay, well, that means he's 687 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:08,319 Speaker 1: the tenth best in the whole world of a thing 688 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: and not a thing like anything else. There's a lot 689 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 1: of people who don't want to be like, if you're 690 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,799 Speaker 1: one of the ten best accountants in the world, most 691 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:22,359 Speaker 1: of us would go like, cool accounting. But football is 692 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 1: the thing that everybody wants, and he's that good, and 693 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: there are still a lot of people who are like, nah, 694 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 1: uh uh, this guy doesn't have it. It's that is 695 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,920 Speaker 1: wild to me that that is how it works. 696 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,319 Speaker 2: He is a quarterback that has so much precision, like 697 00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,120 Speaker 2: I mean, he's like a surgeon, and you know, every 698 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,160 Speaker 2: once in a while play will go wrong or like 699 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 2: maybe you don't see the field. There are always those 700 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 2: things like if you see a quarterback trending on Twitter, 701 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 2: chances are there's gonna be one play out of the 702 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,239 Speaker 2: whole game where a guy was wide open and then 703 00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,880 Speaker 2: they threw it to the sidelines or they threw the interception, 704 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 2: and then that's gonna be the thing that all these 705 00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 2: armchair quarterbacks or all these armchair coaches. 706 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 1: Or armchair owners, armchair. 707 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 2: Owners are going to make their case for that's why 708 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 2: that guy's the worst quarterback ever. And it was just 709 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 2: a lapse, you know. It was like a, Hey, I 710 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,279 Speaker 2: don't know any decision that I could make quickly when 711 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:23,280 Speaker 2: I have three giant guys running at me. And Kirk 712 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 2: Cousin does that all the time. 713 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,399 Speaker 1: If somebody said, Pete, pick a joke, and then three 714 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 1: adult men started running at you, there's no way you 715 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,000 Speaker 1: choose a joke before you get hit. And that's just 716 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,280 Speaker 1: thinking of something you've done a million times, let alone 717 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 1: processing a play, executing the play. The amount of things 718 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,400 Speaker 1: I could do with a grown successfully, with a grown 719 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 1: man running at me is between zero and zero. I 720 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:49,719 Speaker 1: couldn't do it. 721 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, and especially when the plays aren't even called what 722 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 2: the plays are called, Like the coach is like, all right, 723 00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 2: we want zero mountain shakeshack and you're like, okay, you 724 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 2: gotta translate that language into whatever play it is, and 725 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 2: then you know, get your guys all on the same page. 726 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,360 Speaker 2: And then maybe let's say, let's say the wide receiver 727 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,600 Speaker 2: that was open didn't run the route that you had 728 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,799 Speaker 2: scripted in your brain or whatever. It was, like, there's 729 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,759 Speaker 2: so many reasons for it. But yeah, Kirk Cousins, I mean, 730 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,759 Speaker 2: I'm a Packers fan, and I think he's an amazing man. 731 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,919 Speaker 2: I think he's a great quarterback. I watched him beat 732 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 2: the Minnesota golfers. You know, I went to the I 733 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,760 Speaker 2: went to the University of Minnesota. I watched him dismantle 734 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,720 Speaker 2: our team for years when he was at Michigan State. 735 00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,879 Speaker 2: Like we would always play Michigan State for our homecoming 736 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,960 Speaker 2: because they were like our best chance at winning a 737 00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,000 Speaker 2: game in those seasons, and then Kirk Cousins would come 738 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 2: in and just be amazing, and so yeah, I have 739 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,839 Speaker 2: a great appreciation for him, even as a Packers fan. 740 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,400 Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean the guy in that Quarterback show, 741 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 2: like he would have like bruised ribs and then he 742 00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 2: would like still go and volunteer on Mondays and like 743 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 2: just great, great dude. 744 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,880 Speaker 1: It's wild Pete. I love you a bunch, and I 745 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 1: really appreciate you doing this. Thank you. I'm gonna do 746 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 1: what we make. You're not gonna like it. I make 747 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,839 Speaker 1: everybody do it. I do need before we let you go. 748 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 1: A prediction for this week's game. 749 00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 2: I hate to say it as a Packers fan, but 750 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:22,359 Speaker 2: I don't think we're gonna beat you again. 751 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,400 Speaker 1: But I'd like to hear Daddy give it to me. Daddy. 752 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 2: I like that, like I love the Packers, I believe 753 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,640 Speaker 2: in Jordan. Love is what I have to say as 754 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,720 Speaker 2: an owner. But I don't think that things are clicking 755 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:40,279 Speaker 2: right now with the Packers. I think that the Vikings 756 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,360 Speaker 2: are going to I think the Vikings are going to 757 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:48,879 Speaker 2: beat us, like thirty eight to six. I don't think 758 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:50,400 Speaker 2: that we're even going to score a touchdown. 759 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:56,279 Speaker 1: That is a bold prediction that it feels like reverse psychology. 760 00:39:56,360 --> 00:40:02,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm going to go with Packers. I think 761 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,400 Speaker 1: they're gonna get more than six. I'm gonna go with 762 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:11,279 Speaker 1: fourteen and I think Vikings one hundred and thirty eight.
