My wife actually uh has a huge passion 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:26.079 for animals, and so we've we've fostered she fosters a 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:28.000 bunch of animals through some of the local rescues here. 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:30.080 I think we just had two or three from second 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:34.560 hand hounds most most lately. So Marty is uh learning 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:37.360 to share and learning, uh, you know, to to be 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:40.280 around others. That the whole world doesn't revolve around him, 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:42.240 but we sure try to make it. 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.120 We hear Taylor swift and shake it off, kick it 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:46.680 off the segment. We'll get into some of that a 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:49.400 little bit later here. I'm sure you're very excited about 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:52.440 that because no one's talking about it. But what we 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:55.680 are talking about is that when against the Panthers ladies, 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:59.880 and yeah, Gill on the road, Marcus Davenport, My good. 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:02.640 We've all been hearing about it. You guys obviously saw 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:05.880 a little bit, you know, the most fans didn't get 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:07.680 a chance to see. But he comes out and that 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.000 guy is disruptive, to say the least. 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:12.400 Yeah, I've been a fan of his. We actually trained 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:14.840 together coming out of the combine. We got a picture 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:18.080 together all flexing in our workout stuff from twenty seventeen 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:21.200 or eighteen or something, and we're locker mats now. But yeah, 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:24.760 he's an incredible football player, and you know, I know 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:26.320 he's been itching to get back out there. I think 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:30.560 that's something that sometimes overlooked as fans is these injuries 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:32.400 are real things, and if you can't go out there 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:34.640 and be your one hundred percent self, it's obviously going 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:37.040 to affect you know, your play or whatever. So you 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:38.160 want to make sure you can go out there and 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.040 put great stuff on film. And so we're so thankful 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:42.280 to get him healthy, thanks to our staff and everybody. 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:44.400 You don't make sure he's feeling good because he was 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:45.719 disrupted as head. 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:47.640 You know, and then you've been here, this is your 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.000 second season here with the Minnesota Vikings Harris and Phillips. 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:52.400 Since my guest here at Vikings Country with Miller Lite, 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:55.720 the official beer sponsor of the Minnesota Vikings, Harrison Smith 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:59.560 ends up having just a monstrous game where he's got 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:04.000 the three he had of course that strip, sack, fourteen tackles. 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:05.920 I mean, that's an incredible game. 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:09.320 No matter who you was, it's an incredible season, right, dude, 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:13.400 Harrison Smith Man.

What is so for Taylor Swift to accomplish 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:14.600 everything she's done in the music industry, obviously you have 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:17.680 to tip your hat to that's extremely impressive. So, yeah, 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.240 she wants to come out. I'm sure maybe my drive 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:23.280 ticket prices up or something, but I'm winning.

If you're going and Taylor Swift shows 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:33.199 up at us Bank Stadium, it'll be the cheapest ticket. 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:36.480 You bought to actually see, right, USBA say, yeah, probably. 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:39.920 You gotta feel kind of good, just a little bit, 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:44.480 you know, it's finally not a quarterback, right.

And look at 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:03.880 you know, our tight end room is one of the 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:05.640 deepest in the NFL, and we love our guys. 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.719 Harrison Phillips is my guest here and I still love 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:11.160 it to this day. When you signed with the Vikings, 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.559 you had a post that was a Michael Scott quote. 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:16.439 Oh yeah, and I still love it to this day. 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:17.520 I have no idea how high I. 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:21.280 Can fly, right, Yeah, office is incredible. Actually, on the 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.760 way over here, I was listening to like a podcast 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:25.400 thing and it was office Trivia. I didn't do as 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:26.000 well as I thought. 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:28.040 I would, but oh really, yeah, we are you upset 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:28.520 with yourself? 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:30.760 You're like, yeah, there's a couple I should have known. 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:36.600 Let's talk about this. You know, Harrison's Playmakers is one 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:39.040 of the coolest things ever. And what I love about 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:42.680 it is not only its message, but also the fact 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:46.679 that you utilize it in communities that really have made 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:50.400 a big impact in your life, from Omaha to Buffalo 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:52.400 to here in the Twin City. Tell us a little 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:52.760 bit about that. 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:55.480 Yeah, so my foundation, you know, we've been rolling for 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:57.400 my whole career, even when I was back in college. 0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.480 But Harrison's Playmakers works with individuals with development differences and 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.040 special needs, and we just try to provide really any 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:07.079 opportunity we can to encourage and to support and to 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.959 instill the values of paying it forward into any community 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.080 that we can. And we're very unbiased. Or I say 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:14.920 that my heart is you know, has a lot of 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:17.319 love to give. And so we have Harrison's playmakers, or 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:19.720 are individuals with down syndrome, with autism, we have visually 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:24.520 impaired playmakers. We have individuals who have spinally bifita cancer survivors. 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:27.600 There's there's so much love to go around, and it's 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.400 been really remarkable to see the growth of it. And 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:34.320 we're completely volunteer base, right like I run the thing myself. 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:35.480 We don't pay a person. 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:36.760 Oh this is what I do. 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.079 If I'm not doing football and watching film, this is 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:43.679 what I'm doing. You joked about marriage. Is probably the 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:45.400 thing that comes up the most is how much how 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:48.559 much time that takes from from our relationship. But she 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:50.199 notes in such a big part of what I what 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:52.720 I do, and who I am, and I'm only going 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:54.719 to be in this position for however many years that 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:56.160 God allows me to. And you want to make the 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:57.560 biggest impact you can while you're here. 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:01.120 You spoke to the U of M wrestling. Yeah, okay, 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:03.400 So what kind of messaging do you give out because 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:04.120 I know that's a. 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:06.240 Background for you, right, Yeah, man, I love wrestling. 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:08.719 Yeah, And so I mean, what kind of message do 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:10.800 you throw out to a wrestling chamer. Yeah. 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:13.079 I think that what I explained to them was a 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:15.679 little bit about teamwork and how hard in my time 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:19.480 when I was a wrestler younger, I didn't see the 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.040 team part of that sport, and I think that's why 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.800 I lost my passion with it. Compared to football. You know, 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.880 I need eleven players all together firing on a cylinder 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:30.280 to make a play happen, and in wrestling, I didn't. 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:30.800 And I love that. 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:33.000 And my favorite plays in football are not plays I've made. 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:35.760 They're celebrating teammates, plays like fricking Harrison Smith. Well he 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:37.360 just went and did for us. That's a great mummory 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:39.199 off for the rest of my life. I didn't have 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:42.120 that wrestling because I thought of it so individualized. And 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.640 then I also talked about the trade off between like 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:48.360 people who are kind of comfortable being mediocre versus people 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:50.600 who are really really hard working and that tension can 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:52.640 really rip apart a team. If you have a guy 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:55.640 who's really, you know, trying to always get every single 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:57.960 ounce out of himself to become better, and he got 0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:00.000 a guy across from who might be better than him 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.199 him right, more talent, and he's not working as hard. 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:04.120 It could be truculent for a team. And so I 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:05.079 spoke on those. 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:08.800 Truculent very nicely played. It was really good. I'm gonna 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:09.880 google it when we go to the break. 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:10.520 I think it's right. 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:15.040 But here's the thing is that now you wrestled, you've 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:18.040 already referenced Stone Cold, you get dressed up as him, 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:21.280 So I mean, I know it's gonna be a while 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:22.200 down the road. 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:24.120 I think with the compliment, with the beard and everything, 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:25.400 you're just trying to see me in a single. 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:29.400 It would you would? Would you? Okay there, you're not wrong, 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:31.880 but you're very truculent. I think I'm using it right, 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:35.520 But no, is that something you would ever think about 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:37.520 down the road? Is like after the NFL career? 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:39.320 Uh? Yeah, I would, I would? I would? 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:40.360 You already got the nickname. 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:42.640 I feel it out, Yeah for sure. And I told 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.080 people for a long time if my football career ended 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:47.719 at a time where my body was still healthy enough. 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:49.120 It might be ignorant to say, but I would. I 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.599 would pursue wrestling again and see if I still got it. 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:54.120 All right. That's awesome. By the way, would you like 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:57.800 to hear Paul Allen and one of the greatest calls 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:02.360 so far this season?

Justin Jefferson. 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:51.280 We already knew he was ridiculous, but man, is he 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:53.000 off to a ridiculous. 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:54.680 Start here in twenty twenty three best wide receiver in 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:57.200 the National Football League bar none. But I think you 0:15:57.320 --> 0:15:59.240 guys all know that. The whole world's kind of starting 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:01.160 to know that now. But I can't talk enough about 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:02.960 as the type of person he is. It's incredible to 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:06.960 see a superstar top you know, m VP type player 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:09.880 and and he doesn't even like know it yet based 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:12.800 on you know, how how he candles him stuff and everything. Yeah, yeah, 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:18.040 high character kid, respectful. I can't say enough positive things 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:20.040 about him. It's he's a really special teammate. 0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:24.280 Before we start going into the five typical stupid Vikings 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:28.320 Country questions, yes, Patrick Mahomes. I mean this is a 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:32.640 defensive nightmare where some of the times and sometimes most 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:36.040 of the times, a broken play is the best play 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:39.400 that they have for the Chiefs. Defending a guy like 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:43.000 that on the defensive line. How how difficult can that be, 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:45.160 especially when they have a pretty good run game too. 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:49.520 Yeah, one hundred percent. I think you know, he's a superstar, Kelsey, superstar. 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:51.560 They have a ton of great players all across their 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:55.600 their offense and their defense. You know, I know from 0:16:56.000 --> 0:17:00.760 past experience, unfortunately, how how good and how quick they 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:02.880 can they can they can do things, you know, the 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:05.960 thirteen second game when I was in Buffalo, and yeah, 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:07.640 we have a we have a tall task in front 0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:09.520 of us, but man, are we eager and excited for 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:12.000 that that opportunity. You know, it's still early. So I've 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:15.080 just been watching the first couple of games of film myself. 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:18.639 We'll go in tomorrow and really start our due diligence. 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:22.160 But yeah, it's it's so fun. But again, the competitor 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:24.240 and all of us, you want to play the best, 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:26.480 you want to beat the best, you know, So it's exciting. 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:31.360 As a DT. Do you watch any stuff like if 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:33.760 it's not your game. You're watching. It happens beyond TV, 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:36.439 and your wife's upset because you're working on the foundation 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:41.040 stuff not paying attention to her. But Chris Jones, Yeah wow, 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:43.560 I mean, what what this guy is? He can turn 0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:46.680 a game around anytime it seems like he wants. Yeah. 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:48.920 I think what actually caught me most impressive when I 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:51.200 was just watching their game the other night was the 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:53.560 success he was having lined up at different positions across 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:55.359 the defensive line, Like he has a d tackle, but 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:56.560 he was getting sacked. 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:56.760 Over it end. 0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:58.439 Sometimes he'll put him out of nose. Sometimes he put 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:01.680 him at three. And I mean since I entered the league, 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:03.480 he's been a household name and he's been doing it 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:07.800 for a long time. And you know, I'll definitely be 0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:10.480 you know, I like to watch the trenches when I 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:12.639 do have a spare moment in the game, So I'll 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:14.119 love to see how our guys block him up. 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:17.320 Harris and Phillips is here with us five typically stupid 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:21.600 Vikings country questions. Yeah, all right, Jimmy Butler, Jimmy Buckets. 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:22.760 Are you a basketball fan? 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:25.280 Yeah? I like the playoffs playoffs a lot. 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:29.920 Yeah, anything any sporting event at all, it coulofs pickups 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:31.960 sticks with my butt cheeks, and I'd be like, yeah, 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:34.320 I'm watching that, watch that one. Oh, come on, you 0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:37.399 would Okay, So Jimmy Butler, he's. 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:38.720 Just pulled that out of the field. 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:42.239 I got a lot of time on my hands. All right. 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:45.919 He's played for the Wolves, but nonetheless he is now 0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:47.840 he's going to be a country artist. He's coming out 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:52.040 with a country album. Are you musically inclined at all? 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:54.720 And would you come out with any kind of music. 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:58.879 Unless it was for charity? 0:18:58.960 --> 0:18:59.440 Probably not. 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:02.560 So you're saying, there's maybe a Christmas thing for you know, 0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:04.480 my playmakers or something, but probably not. 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:07.760 Probably not. H Here's the second one. A woman is 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:10.760 suing Walt disney World after one of the water slides 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:14.119 gave her such a bad weggie she had to be 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:16.800 hospitalized and needed surgery. 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:22.480 That's actually terrible. You can't say it with a smile 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:24.240 on your face, but I feel for that woman if 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:24.600 that's real. 0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:26.680 Yeah, yeah, your swim funks were her breaks. I mean 0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:27.680 that's yeah. 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:31.000 I hope her she's okay and her family's okay. 0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:32.000 Do you have siblings? 0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:33.920 I have a sister, yes, Oh, you have a sister. 0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:36.760
