Thank you for 26 00:01:59,000 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: hanging out. 27 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 2: Meghan, thank you so much. 28 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 3: You know, I had really high hopes. We both have 29 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 3: young children, and I had really high hopes. I was 30 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 3: gonna wake up, shower, put on makeup, do my hair, 31 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 3: and then I said that would just be so uncults 32 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 3: fan of me. So you are getting like fresh out 33 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 3: of bed. I think I brushed my teeth. Colts had 34 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 3: on very hoosier. 35 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's well. And I have a wife who is 36 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: from Indiana, so I very much understand the very hoosier vibe, 37 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: as her entire family exists inside of it. So I 38 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: appreciate you coming authentically. I am obsessed with Joe Flacco's existence, Okay, 39 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,239 Speaker 1: because I have a one of my best friends is 40 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: a lifelong Browns fan and went through that mayhem last year. 41 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: I don't understand if he can still throw the football 42 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: like this, why he is a mid season fourth option 43 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: for struggling teams. How do you feel walking away from 44 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: a draft pick towards one hundred year old Joe Flacco 45 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: who can still throw the ball ninety yards? 46 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 3: So I will start by saying, I love Joe Flacco. 47 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 3: I think Joe Flacco is like a hunk. Like I 48 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 3: saw him in a post game and I was like, wait, 49 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,119 Speaker 3: is he hot? Like I think he is a great quarterback. 50 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 3: He seems like a lovely man. I think it's absolutely insane. 51 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 3: The Colts were the only team to offer him a 52 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 3: contract in the off season. Unfortunately, Joe Flacco is now 53 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 3: the fourth version of this experiment the Colts have done. 54 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 3: We did it with Philip Rivers. We did it with 55 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 3: Carson Wentz, we did it with Matt Ryan. All like 56 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 3: pretty serviceable to very good quarterbacks at some point, and 57 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 3: it has failed miserably, and so to be repeating it 58 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 3: now feels absolutely insane to myself and I think a 59 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 3: large portion of the Colts fan base. 60 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: I always like talking to fans of the few fan bases, 61 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: the few teams that I don't despise you know how 62 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: you build up that animosity for eighty ninety percent of 63 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: the league and you're like, well, I guess I just 64 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: don't hate the Colts for any reason whatsoever. Yeah, you do, 65 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: you guys find yourselves? Like you mentioned the Philip Rivers thing, 66 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: which I thought that was gonna go way better than 67 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: it did. I really did. Yeah, but you feel like 68 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: you just never escaped the post Andrew Luck Hayes. And 69 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: you can't because right after it there was that vibe 70 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: where it felt like you put a good quarterback in here. 71 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: This defense is so good, and you've just kind of, 72 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 1: you know, never gone too low or too high. Since then? 73 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: Do you just feel like you're trapped in no man's land? 74 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 3: We are in a purgatory since Andrew Luck retired. I 75 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 3: am of like the very small minority of Colts fans 76 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 3: that is like happy for Andrew Luck. 77 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 2: I do not blame him. I would not have booed him. 78 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 3: I actually think the fans who booed him put a 79 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 3: curse on on us that we have still yet to 80 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 3: break love it. 81 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want you guys to struggle, but 82 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: anything with a curse, I'm interested in. 83 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 3: No, I think I there are my own family members who, 84 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 3: like yesterday when when Richardson was benched, I was irate, 85 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 3: like as upset. It was probably the most upset I'd 86 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 3: been since Luck retiring. And I knew I couldn't even 87 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 3: text my brother and my dad because we were just 88 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 3: not in the same camp. Sure, And so I was 89 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 3: just like, well, now I just have to like go 90 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 3: to Twitter. Like my husband was like, hey, I see 91 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 3: you're posting whole threads about the benching of Anthony Richardson, 92 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 3: and I'm out of town and I just need to 93 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 3: know that you and our son are says, And I'm like, 94 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 3: we'll see. 95 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: Do you here's a question, because we are a long 96 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: suffering no quarterback. I mean we had Fran, but Fran 97 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: Tarkentin is so removed from any like yeah, you have 98 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: to be my dad or older to be like I remember. 99 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: But so there's this desperate gravitation towards anyone who you 100 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: believe can be the guy from a franchise Hall of 101 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: Fame standpoint, And that's hard. Do you think it is 102 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: somehow harder to have had one of them, one of 103 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: the like one of the five to ten guys, know, 104 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 1: what that looks like only have won one title, which 105 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: is still amazing, but like, only have gotten one and 106 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: now you almost know what you're missing out. 107 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 3: On, Yes, and having Peyton and then going directly to Luck. Yes, 108 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 3: it almost you know that's you're being blessed in a 109 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 3: way that franchises are just not. And I think we 110 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 3: lost Luck because we did not know how good we 111 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 3: had it and the reason. And I think Luck has 112 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 3: been much more open. 113 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 2: There was that. 114 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 3: Really long piece last year that I bored over every 115 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 3: word like it was a true Detective season finale, and 116 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 3: you know, people walk away from different things in their 117 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 3: life for many different reasons, but like it is, it 118 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 3: is hard to not look at how blessed this franchise 119 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 3: has been with like Luck, no pun intended of We 120 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 3: almost drafted Ryan Leaf, who I've met and as a 121 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 3: lovely man, and I was like, oh my god, I'm 122 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 3: a Colts fan and he was like okay. So it's 123 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 3: like we we lucked out by even knowing that we 124 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 3: should take Peyton Manning. 125 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 2: That was like a huge controversy. So it is I 126 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 2: also have to wonder too. 127 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 3: I find sports fans to be very impatient and dumb 128 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 3: and I'm at the top of that too. 129 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: I'm the most I couldn't agree more. 130 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think Walts fans have been spoiled and 131 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 3: whether we believe it or not, and it's been like 132 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 3: nine years of not being spoiled. 133 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 2: But it we look back. 134 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 3: And we go, well, we were thirteen and three every 135 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 3: year and we went to the AFG Championship every year, 136 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 3: and it's like, yeah, we were really, really lucky. And 137 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 3: then you look at other franchises and you're like, they've 138 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 3: never even sniffed the playoffs. So I think it put 139 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 3: a lot of pressure on Anthony Richardson to be good 140 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 3: right now. And it's like Peyton went three and thirteen 141 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 3: his rookie season, Like we're having revisionist history on what 142 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 3: it takes to build a franchise quarterback, and you see it. 143 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 3: I think it's an epidemic across the league. You look 144 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 3: at all these guys that were drafted in the last 145 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 3: three years and they're all benched right now, and I 146 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 3: don't think that that is all of their fall. 147 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, And then you look at what else has happened 148 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: in the league, which is these the renaissance aspect for 149 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: different quarterbacks careers where you have Sam Darnold here in Minnesota, 150 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: you have Gino out in Seattle, you have Baker down 151 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: in Tampa. So and that's kind the other side of 152 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 1: proving your point is what happens when some of those 153 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: guys get good chances in healthy situations, good second chances. 154 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: Yeah and yeah, I you know, I can't imagine. C J. 155 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: Stroud's success makes it. It's funny because you could easily 156 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: go like, hey, it's really hard to be a young quarterback. 157 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: Look at what's happening with Bryce, you know, but everybody 158 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: he just goes, oh, c J. Stroud is immediately amazing, 159 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: and then Jaydeen Daniels is playing well. It's it's one. 160 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 3: Those are both with organizations that you don't necessarily think of, 161 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 3: Like the Commanders are a joke, not anymore. But until 162 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 3: Dan Snyder sold them like, it was like they could 163 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 3: not they had to change their name. They're like the 164 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 3: whole city of Washington was like, why don't we have 165 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 3: this team like it? And the Texans are an expansion 166 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,599 Speaker 3: team that got their ass kicked all the time and 167 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 3: they've been able to go in those systems and flourish. 168 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: I had really liked Anthony Richardson coming out. I think 169 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,199 Speaker 1: the question is, then you know, if you take if 170 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 1: you set the angst aside about Anthony Richardson, which I 171 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: would also have if I was a Colts fan. Uh, 172 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: but you're in the immediate moment here that division hasn't 173 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: proven to be so incredible and THEFC isn't so runaway 174 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: with top heavy teams that you still have to be 175 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 1: competing where you're at right now? Do you think you 176 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: get the Joe Flacco bump? Do you think, regardless of 177 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: the frustrations, do you see a high level Joe Flacco 178 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: where all the coaches are like, yes, we needed to 179 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: be able to actually run this play and he can 180 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: run it. 181 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 3: I don't, And maybe that's just me like really not 182 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 3: being able to see the forest through the trees because 183 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 3: I'm so upset. And I really found Richardson's like running 184 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 3: to be so dynamic and to just. 185 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,079 Speaker 2: Open up the playbook to be like. 186 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 3: We can do anything. We have a linebacker at quarterback, 187 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 3: and yeah he was he was missing passes, but like 188 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 3: I was even listening to Brian Florit's talk about Richardson yesterday, 189 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 3: and it's like, this is this defensive coordinator on the 190 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 3: team we were about to play, and he seemed like 191 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 3: he did not want to have to prepare for him. 192 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,559 Speaker 3: And I think Flacco is like obviously a good quarterback, 193 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 3: but I think it actually limits and I think Richardson 194 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 3: in the same way that like Robert sala Is, it's 195 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 3: like you end up having these sort of scapegoats when 196 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 3: things aren't going the right way, and when you remove 197 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 3: the scapegoats, you kind of start to see, oh, maybe 198 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 3: there's other issues. 199 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:41,959 Speaker 2: And I think for the Colts the. 200 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 3: Other issues are play calling and and just sort of 201 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 3: us not necessarily having a standout, knockdown number one receiver. 202 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 3: I think Pittman is great. You look at Pittman and 203 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 3: Justin Jefferson, obviously he's the class of the league, and 204 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 3: it's like, well, they're even close to each other. So 205 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 3: I think there's gonna be some other things that fall 206 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 3: under the microscope. And if there are these drop balls, again, 207 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 3: it's going to be a lot more obvious when you 208 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 3: have a former Super Bowl winner throwing them to you, guy. 209 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: Who has a little bit more of the arm talent 210 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: at this point and his wife unfortunately, as someone who 211 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: also have it like has it, I can read the 212 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 1: energy off you. You are an insane person, Megan, and 213 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: I love it. I just absolutely love it. Before the show, 214 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: so everybody who's everybody who listens to the show, We've 215 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: had a lot of great comedians and actors on here, 216 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: and they know, like, before the show, we talk a 217 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 1: little bit before we get in, and you were telling 218 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: me some of the things about you being a Colts fan, 219 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: and you know, I was like, oh, we are very 220 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: similar in our insanity. And then I just watched you 221 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: exist in this first fifteen minute and I was like, 222 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: we shouldn't even be. We can't. We need to delete 223 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: cell phone numbers. This this is an unhealthy. 224 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, No, it really is, like I and I 225 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 3: wish that I wasn't like this. 226 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: It's impossible not to be. It's impossible not to be. 227 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 3: Even so, I was in Indianapolis this past weekend and 228 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 3: I went to a bar afterwards to watch the end 229 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 3: of the Dodgers game. I've only been a Dodgers fan 230 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 3: for nine years, like I cause I didn't grow up 231 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 3: with a baseball team and do no want anyone to 232 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 3: come after me. And when they won, I had eight 233 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 3: of my closest friends there, four of my seven bridesmaids, 234 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 3: some other girls I've known like a long time. 235 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 2: They won. 236 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 3: I screamed and ran around so crazy that I got 237 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 3: back to the table. I put my head in my 238 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 3: hands and I said, gave myself an internal pep talk 239 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,719 Speaker 3: that was, do not embarrass yourself in front of these 240 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 3: women you love, because I was like, I am, I'm 241 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 3: so insane. 242 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: After that, that's when you give the pep talk. 243 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 3: After that, after you yell at men you don't know, 244 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:05,719 Speaker 3: get the out of here. 245 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: But here's the thing. Was that the was that the 246 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: walk off grand Slam? Yes, okay here, I'm not even 247 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 1: I don't enjoy baseball because my local team has like 248 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: drilled it out of me as much as I like 249 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: loved Kirby Pucket growing up. Yeah, and want to be 250 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: a baseball fan. So I don't even like baseball. And 251 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: when I saw that clip on you know, social media somewhere, 252 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: I'm just in my car.

But it's it's biology, right, 294 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: It's science. It literally changes the chemistry of your brain, 295 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: so you just receive information differently. And I do that 296 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: same thing too, where I was like when somebody like 297 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: I had that thought during that home run, I was like, 298 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: I bet his dad is just living good right now? 299 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 3: It really does.

But here's 302 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: as I've now. I was like, I told everybody, I 303 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: think you're insane like me, and then you were like, oh, yeah, 304 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: watch this and let's talk about our children. But you yeah, 305 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: So just to explain to people why I said that 306 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: you are the sort of Colts fan who you scheduled. Well, 307 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna say it because I no one 308 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: would believe me. So you say the thing out loud. 309 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 2: Okay. So I was getting married. 310 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,919 Speaker 3: I did get engaged in front of the mural of 311 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 3: Reggie Miller that is in Indianapolis. That is where my 312 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 3: husband decided to not even get down on one knee 313 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 3: because he has bad knees from playing football, so he 314 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 3: crouched he did the Trevor laurn snow knee down in 315 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 3: front of Reggie Miller. And then as we were planning 316 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 3: our wedding, I looked at the Colts schedule and said, 317 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 3: when should I have my bridal shower in Indianapolis? I 318 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,640 Speaker 3: wanted to coincide with like a good game. And then 319 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 3: I realized that Dwight Freene's jersey was being retired, and 320 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 3: Dwight Freennie is my number one favorite Cults player of 321 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 3: all time, and so I scheduled my bridal shower for 322 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 3: my mother in law to come in, all my friends 323 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,360 Speaker 3: to come in from out of town the day before 324 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 3: Dwight Freenie's jersey retirement, so then I could go to 325 00:17:58,240 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 3: the game the next day. 326 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 2: And they lost, and I'm still upset about it. 327 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 1: And then tell me you for those people who are 328 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 1: listening not watching. So you have up behind you on 329 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 1: the left hand on your wall, Yeah, you have a 330 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 1: road sign. Tell me about that. 331 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 3: This is the exact mileage from where I had my 332 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 3: baby shower to Lucas Oil Stadium. So it's two thousand miles, 333 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 3: two thousand and sixty miles.

And so I think 503 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 3: we I went to the first Jeff Saturday coach game. 504 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 2: It was in Vegas, and the Colts won. 505 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 3: They beat the Raiders, and we were like maybe this 506 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 3: is maybe this works, you know, like it really was like, 507 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 3: oh my god, this was so fun. I saw Reggie 508 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,160 Speaker 3: Wayne the night before and I was just drunk enough 509 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 3: that I went up to him and I said, they 510 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 3: should have made you coach, which they should have because 511 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,120 Speaker 3: he was actually on staff already, and he goes out 512 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:09,919 Speaker 3: of my hands, you know. So I was like I 513 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,400 Speaker 3: was putting in work on the ground too to try 514 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 3: and make sure this all worked out. And then that game, 515 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 3: that Minnesota game, it really I think drove home like 516 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 3: you do need an actual coach. You can't And like 517 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 3: I still listen to Jeff Saturday. I love PTI. He's 518 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 3: on PTI almost. 519 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 2: Every week, so good. 520 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,679 Speaker 3: I think a lovely man, super kind took that on 521 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 3: the chin pretty much like a champ. 522 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 2: But it was just like, yeah, you need you need 523 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 2: a coach. It can't. 524 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 3: It was probably a good lesson for like all sports 525 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 3: fans to be like, you can't just like have a 526 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 3: guy who's good at something JJ Reddick and then just 527 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 3: put them in there and like cross your fingers, like 528 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 3: you kind of need somewhat of a pedigree to be able. 529 00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 2: To do this. 530 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: You said The thing that I thought was most interesting 531 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: about the whole Saturday thing is he tried it, he 532 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,959 Speaker 1: failed at it, he went, well, I failed at it, 533 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: owned it, and then just went back to the other 534 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,719 Speaker 1: thing he was good at. I thought it was so 535 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: interesting to not see him try to what I think 536 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: people in every walk of life are so quick to do, 537 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: which is push the blame anywhere but themselves or even 538 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: part of it. Yeah, I thought that was really really interesting, dude, 539 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: Jim Hear say, because I, like I said, Jenna's family, 540 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: my wife's family is there. Owning a sports team is 541 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: also owning a business and winning and bus like, it's 542 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: a very complex thing. And when you get the best owners, 543 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 1: you get the ones who set winning right next to 544 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: the business aspect of it and believe they go hand 545 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: in hand. And you know, we've seen unending amount of 546 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: organizations that have owners who don't really value the winning. 547 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: And the thing that's interesting about Ears say, because you're right, 548 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 1: he's very open about his demons. He's very odd. If 549 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: no one's ever gone and read about the weird guitar 550 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: museum he has, which is incredible, So you're like, it's like, oh, 551 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: this is your baby over here you have all these 552 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: insane guitars. But I do think he's a guy who 553 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: whatever the path to it and if he can get 554 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 1: there is another conversation. I do think he seems like 555 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: he really wants to win a super Bowl. Is that accurate? 556 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 2: Yeah? Absolutely. 557 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 3: I think sometimes it like maybe blinds him a little 558 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 3: bit too. And I do think that the paytent era 559 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 3: wasn't more successful in terms of super Bowls is still 560 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 3: upsetting to him. And I also I think he's like 561 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 3: a good person as far as billionaires go. The Colts 562 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 3: I do want quality guys to bring into the community, 563 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 3: and I think that's like ursay caring about Indianapolis as 564 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 3: a small town to be like, these guys are going 565 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 3: to be like shoulder to shoulder at the grocery store 566 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 3: with everybody, Like we want to make sure that they 567 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 3: are good guys and that they feel supported by the community. 568 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 3: He does a lot for like mental health. He talks 569 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 3: a lot about addiction, like he very is front facing 570 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 3: in a way that I think he is trying to 571 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 3: better the community. 572 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 2: But he does really want to win. 573 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 3: I mean, the Colts have now lost the season opener 574 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 3: ten years in a row, and I don't know that 575 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 3: and hold we hold the record. We hold the record, 576 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 3: and it is devastating to him. 577 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 2: He hates it. And the guys that are here now 578 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 2: they're new guys. 579 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 3: It's like that that transcends like three different coaching staffs, 580 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 3: like a lot of different personnel changes, and it's just 581 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 3: like a hill we cannot get over, and it I 582 00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 3: think eats at him. 583 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: That's, yeah, you almost have no place. I mean, the 584 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: fans take that a certain way, but he's probably he's 585 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: probably the only one that's been around for all of 586 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: those losses, So yeah, how do you not take that 587 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: in a ridiculously hard way. So if you're coming into 588 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 1: this game this weekend, which this is a really big 589 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: spot for the Vikings, I thought that Rams game, there's 590 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 1: this Zach Martinez does this show, and he's infuriating because 591 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 1: he's right a lot. He said, you know, teams that 592 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 1: come off playing the Lions really struggled the next week 593 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: and we had a short week a Thursday against the Rams. 594 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: Puka and Cooper come back. And if you go and 595 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 1: you get that wins the as the Vikings, you kind 596 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 1: of walk out of there and you go, man, we 597 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 1: compete in that last one right at the ship and 598 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 1: we keep going. Now, you have put a unique amount 599 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,959 Speaker 1: of pressure on this. This is a really big spot 600 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: for the Vikings. What do you worry about? From a 601 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 1: Colt's perspective, where do you where do you see this 602 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 1: thing going? And where is your big concern facing Minnesota? 603 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 2: I think the Vikings are angry. 604 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 3: They seem upset about the no call on the face mask. 605 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 3: So you never you never want to face a team 606 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 3: that's angry. They've had extra time, so there and I 607 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 3: and I also think it does not help the Cults 608 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 3: that they are the national number one story right now. 609 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 2: That brings a lot of eyes, a lot of attention. 610 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 2: It's it's upheople too. 611 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 3: It's like, well, we had Richardson and then we had Flacco, 612 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 3: Then we had Richardson, then we had Flacco. I think 613 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 3: our defense looked really good this past week and we 614 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 3: got to Forrest Buckner back Sire Franklin is at the 615 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 3: top or leading the league in tackles, and the Colts 616 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 3: defense really flies under the radar just because it's not 617 00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 3: a team that usually has this powerful defense. Kenny Moore 618 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 3: so CJ. Stroud struggled, he really and it was it 619 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 3: was mostly the offensive line, but it's like Divorce Buckner, 620 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 3: Big Grover Stewart. They can get to some guys and 621 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:18,879 Speaker 3: they will be looking to rattle Darnold and and I'm 622 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 3: you know, I think they can make an Okay offensive 623 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 3: line look bad. This rookie we have lot to lat to, 624 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 3: has like started kind of rough and then has like 625 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 3: for some fumbles, had some strip sacks like they I 626 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:37,879 Speaker 3: am pretty impressed by them. And then I would have 627 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 3: to imagine I think Jonathan Taylor is. 628 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 2: Going to be back. 629 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:46,359 Speaker 3: I I think that he they got. My hope as 630 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 3: a fan is they just feed him the ball and 631 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:53,799 Speaker 3: then that that opens everything up. But like I I 632 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 3: just see Justin Jefferson like probably having two touchdowns. Like 633 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 3: I bet they'll put Kenny Moore on him, Kenny Moore 634 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 3: as a stud, but like Justin Jefferson is the best 635 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:05,320 Speaker 3: wide receiver. 636 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,360 Speaker 2: Like it's just it's hard. 637 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, if it's anywhere near him, he's he's gonna get it. 638 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 3: So I could see them exploiting the secondary for sure. 639 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 3: I don't I don't know if it honestly feels like 640 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:24,359 Speaker 3: a moral morale must win for both of them. 641 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, Like yeah, especially with the flat. Yeah, they're both 642 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:28,840 Speaker 1: in weird spots. Yeah. 643 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's like you guys are fighting probably for 644 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 3: a wild card, you know, for if we're being honest, just. 645 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 2: Because the Lions be honest. 646 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 1: So go ahead, okay, I. 647 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 3: Mean yes, you and the Colts and the Vikings are 648 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 3: all are both in the sense still in the hunt 649 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,920 Speaker 3: to win their division. Sure, but like the Texans have 650 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,360 Speaker 3: now beat us twice, have the tiebreaker over us, so 651 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 3: it's like unless something catastrophic happens there, like we are 652 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,799 Speaker 3: fighting for a wildcard. The NFC is good, and like 653 00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 3: there's gonna be a lot. 654 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,239 Speaker 1: Of teams the Eagle coming. They're good. 655 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,320 Speaker 3: I really wish we were not playing you this week. 656 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 3: And I'm sure there's some Vikings players that are like, 657 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,799 Speaker 3: I don't need this old man quarterback coming in that 658 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 3: we kind of have limited tape on with this team. 659 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 2: I don't know, I am honestly. 660 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 3: So it's it's in Minnesota because Taylor Swift is in 661 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 3: Indianapolis this weekend, and I think it's good the Colts 662 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:27,279 Speaker 3: are not at home. 663 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,720 Speaker 2: I think there would be booze. I think fans are upset. 664 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,360 Speaker 1: I mean, the Vikings losing their all world left tackle 665 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 1: is a really big issue, especially against that started defensive line. 666 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,840 Speaker 1: Would I'll be curious. I think Hockinson should be back? 667 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 1: What will be? They have ran seemingly as a guy 668 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:47,320 Speaker 1: who admittedly knows nothing about how football is actually played, 669 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:54,760 Speaker 1: they seem to have succeeded with such long developing plays 670 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 1: throughout the season. The line has done such a good job, 671 00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 1: and they've gotten some guys so far down the field. 672 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,280 Speaker 1: I think with TJ. Hockinson back being a release valve 673 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,360 Speaker 1: underneath and actually being able to get some separation, maybe 674 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 1: that some of the other tight ends can't. I will 675 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,879 Speaker 1: be curious if they come out and you see them 676 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:17,280 Speaker 1: early quick drop, quick throw slants, you know, check downs 677 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,480 Speaker 1: and marching down the field. I will get real confident, 678 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 1: real quick if if we are going to try to 679 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 1: hold up against I think you hit it on the 680 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 1: head your defensive line for longer developing plays. That worries 681 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 1: me because if when Jonathan Taylor plays for your football team, 682 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 1: they are just as much as everybody wants to devalue 683 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 1: the running back position. We know it here. Whatever the 684 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,480 Speaker 1: money is for these guys, when you take your superstar 685 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 1: guy who and this is the thing with Aaron Jones. 686 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,400 Speaker 1: When Aaron Jones is out, it's not just that he 687 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 1: can run and catch. There is nobody, I don't think 688 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 1: in the league who picks up up the middle pass 689 00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,960 Speaker 1: protection like Aaron Jones. And so when these guys are out, 690 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,839 Speaker 1: you just almost don't even look like the same football team. 691 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,840 Speaker 1: So I would like to get a lead. I would 692 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 1: not like, I don't want your running back and your 693 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 1: defensive line to control the tempo of the game or 694 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,360 Speaker 1: that gets real scary, real quick in my opinion. 695 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, even hearing you describe like the short plays, I'm like, yeah, 696 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 3: you the cultural miss tackles, you know, mis Tackler two. 697 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 2: So I don't know. 698 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:31,720 Speaker 3: I have two birthday parties this Sunday, two kids' birthday party, 699 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,719 Speaker 3: so I may be yelling on my phone. Yeah, while 700 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 3: while a blippy impersonators there. 701 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 1: Well, thank you for doing this.

Here's 711 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,400 Speaker 1: the thing. I always make people give a prediction, but 712 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,279 Speaker 1: your I don't feel like I want to put you 713 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 1: through those emotions, given what I recognizing you as a fan. 714 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,839 Speaker 3: I want everyone to have a nice time and I 715 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 3: don't want anyone to get hurt. And I also will 716 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:25,360 Speaker 3: say to the people of Minnesota. I went to the 717 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:30,520 Speaker 3: Patriots Eagles Super Bowl there and I remember landing and 718 00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,279 Speaker 3: I'm from an Indian Indianapolis host to a Super Bowl, 719 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 3: and you and the Vikings had lost the NFC championship, heartbreaking, 720 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,480 Speaker 3: and I remember being like, I don't know that we 721 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 3: should even be going to these people's city. This feels inhumane. 722 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:49,720 Speaker 3: And I landed and everyone was so kind, so lovely, 723 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 3: in a level of maturity that I myself would not 724 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 3: be able to have. If I had volunteered for that 725 00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 3: Super Bowl, I'd have been like, burn my name tag, 726 00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:00,160 Speaker 3: I'm not coming. 727 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:02,000 Speaker 2: I hope it's a failure. 728 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,080 Speaker 3: I hope the stadium collapses like it would have not 729 00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 3: been like, Hi, do you need any help with directions? 730 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 2: I was shocked. 731 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 3: I was like, Wow, Minnesota's are a good stock.
