It's one in two thirds, 24 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 2: It's what the bank should be. Why would you give 25 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 2: your money to somebody who can't break that and do 26 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 2: that math? BurrH. I'm excited. I'm gonna tell you something. 27 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 2: I'm excited for the game, and I'm excited that we 28 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 2: don't recap games on this podcast. 29 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: What a wonderful thing for us that we're always looking forward, 30 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: because I think, yeah, that's right, we're this sort of guys. 31 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: If you let us recap, uh, oh, we got it. 32 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 2: Hey, brother, there's a reason that the windshield is bigger 33 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 2: than the rearview mirror. 34 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: You feel me. 35 00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 2: We got to look forward. 36 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: That's what we do here on I love that, actually. 37 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I know you did it in a hillbilly voice, 38 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: but I love it. Normally, normally we do the thing 39 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: where we kind of dive into both sides of what 40 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: we like and dislike about it. But I tell you, 41 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: I live in Cincinnati. We have a ton of friends 42 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. We love the city, we love the comedy there. 43 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: And because their team is a tortured like they, I 44 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: identify with them as it. There's not many organizations that 45 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: you can really look at them and go, man, you 46 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: just you've got that same Charlie Brown vibe, you know, 47 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: getting the football pulled out from you in the fan base. 48 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: So I like, yeah, I'm gonna have a hard time 49 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: saying anything negative about the Bengals or their fans. 50 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting because when you're a Vikings fan, you go, 51 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,679 Speaker 2: you know, what, this happened. Bad things happen to us, 52 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 2: and then when we watch the Bengals, we go, they 53 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 2: did it to themselves. It's a different attitude for the 54 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 2: same situation. My girlfriend and said, we have a lot 55 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 2: of friends in Cincinnati, how do you cheer for? And 56 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 2: you go, I'm not going to listen to that, no, 57 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 2: because we cheer just as hard and we make fun 58 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 2: of them just as hard when we beat them. 59 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: That's absolutely correct. There is a really like when I 60 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,239 Speaker 1: first moved here and you start meeting a lot of 61 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: Bengals fans, one of the first things you learn is 62 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: that they were one of, if not the, but one 63 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: of the last teams in the NFL to get an 64 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: actual website. And so yeah, of course, and the standard 65 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: joke and it's a dad joke, but it, dude, it 66 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: rocks everybody goes yes, because we had a hard time 67 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: stringing three w's together. God dang, that's a. 68 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,839 Speaker 2: Good Oh, that is a really good joke. I think 69 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 2: it is actually because it's harder to type on a 70 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 2: keyboard when you have blisters from playing the banjo. They're 71 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 2: so close to Kentucky. The airport is in Kentucky. They 72 00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 2: call it Cincinnati, and it's in a different state, dude. 73 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: There is a so most of what they call Cincinnati, 74 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: the city, like a good portion of it is right 75 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: across the river in Kentucky. And so there's all these 76 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: little cities over there, and one of them is Florence. Okay, Florence, Kentucky. 77 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: And uh so they were going to build a mall 78 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: in Florence and it was going to be called the 79 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 1: Florence Mall. And so there was a water tower and 80 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: they were gonna and I like, this is the funniest 81 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: Kentucky thing of all time, Like, how do we promote 82 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: our new mall? Well, somebody painted on the water tower 83 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 1: so you can see there's a mall here from water tower. Hat. 84 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: So the plan was to go up and literally write 85 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: Florence Mall on the water tower. But because it was finished, 86 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: the water tower before the actual mall, Florence was told 87 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: they couldn't use the water tower to advertise something that 88 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: wasn't actually there, and then repainting the whole thing became 89 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 1: too expensive, so they just replaced the M with a Y, 90 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 1: and now it just says Florence y'all. I think their 91 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: minor league baseball team is called the Florence y'alls. It's 92 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 1: it's really. 93 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 2: Oh, that's fantastic. I Uh. One thing that I've never 94 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 2: understood about Cincinnati is like, you know, Las Vegas, they go, hey, guys, 95 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 2: we're gonna be Sin City, and they took that name, 96 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 2: and now because of it, it's just like whatever happens 97 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 2: here stays here. There are two Sins in Cincinnati, and 98 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 2: nobody thought, should we do it? There's two of them. 99 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 1: When I started looking like because I look into the 100 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: teams a little bit before we do this show, and 101 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: I was like, traveling down that tortured fan base path. Man, 102 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: they've got an all time one. So in nineteen seventy six, 103 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: Bengals founder Paul Brown he retires as head coach. Okay, 104 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: and he's got to appoint a successor, so he chooses 105 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: long time assistant coach Bill Johnson, who it makes sense 106 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 1: you give him the job. His nickname was Tiger, who 107 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: you want to run the Bengals, Brother, You won't Tagger 108 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: to run the Bengals. So he gives him that job, right, 109 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: But the offensive coordinator and the guy he passes over 110 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: is Bill Walsh, like the greatest innovator of offense in 111 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: professional football. Old Tiger goes eighteen and fifteen and is 112 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,679 Speaker 1: fired after an zero to five start to year three, 113 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: and Walsh just pipes trophies with Montana and Young for dude, 114 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: that's like, there's that. I think the story is that 115 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: John Wooden was on his way to interview for the 116 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: Gophers and there was a snowstorm, so he went to 117 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: interview for UCLA first and they're like, you're hired. That's 118 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: that times a thousand you had him on your staff. 119 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one thing where Bill Tiger Johnson goes up 120 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 2: and sees all the Bill Walsh's stuff and he goes, yeah, 121 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 2: but you see these trophies. His name still isn't Tiger. 122 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. I will say like, there are good moments 123 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: and bad moments from Bengal history that are very interesting 124 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: to me and worth talking about. I mean, you're you 125 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: were a young white rapper, so we should start with 126 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: the Ikey shuffle. 127 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 2: I mean question who didn't in my generation? I ask you, 128 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 2: who didn't cross a goal line where the pylons were 129 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 2: made of hoodies out in somebody's backyard and do the 130 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 2: Ikey shove? Please forget it. 131 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question. So, Ikey Woods, they 132 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: go to the super Bowl that year, right, he runs 133 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: for one thousand, sixty six yards I think fifteen touchdowns, 134 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: he wins Rookie of the Year. How many yards did 135 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: Ikey Woods end up rushing? Four in his. 136 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 2: Career one thousand and sixty seven. 137 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: There was one thousand and five and twenty five all 138 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: time one hit. Wonder that guy, you had such a 139 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: good rookie year that you have a dance that we 140 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: are talking about decades later, and you only ran for 141 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: another four hundred and forty nine yards fifty nine yards 142 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: the rest of your life and we're still talking about 143 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: the Ikey shuffle. Iowa also say, uh Boomer assiasin we've 144 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: talked about nicknames. A couple of weeks ago. Man for 145 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: a guy named Norman Julius. That's his name. Norman Julius Asiasin, 146 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: and you'd think it's because he could rip the football. 147 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: It's not. His mom called him that because of how 148 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: hard he kicked in the womb. Yeah, yeah, he just 149 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: I think their literal quote was something like he's always 150 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: booming me in there, which sounds like somebody who's gonna 151 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: wind up a quarterback in the Cincinnati, Kentucky area. I 152 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 1: love dude. I love Boomer Assiasin. That's a home run nickname. 153 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 2: Yeah. So you you remember the show Opie and Anthony, right, 154 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 2: and Anthony is this guy. He's got a lot of opinions. 155 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 2: He's the toughest guy you've ever heard of. And Opie 156 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 2: and Anthony they'd always go do all these pranks and 157 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 2: everything was funny. Nobody was off limits. And then one 158 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 2: day Anthony broke down and told a story about how 159 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 2: all of his problems into adulthood stem from Boomer Assiasin 160 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 2: bullying him in school. So I'm gonna tell you that's 161 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 2: why I like Boomer Assiasin. This has nothing to do 162 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 2: with football. This has to do with pre bullying a 163 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 2: bully man. 164 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: The when you're down here, like when we move down here. 165 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: As a Viking fan, it's that nice thing where I 166 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: just hold too many football grudges and but there isn't 167 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: I think when you haven't won something major and for 168 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: a really long time. You're talking Cleveland, Brown's the Cubs 169 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: before they did, right. You can't say the the Red 170 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: Sox because you know they had the rest of the 171 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: stuff going on in Boston. But you know a few 172 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: of these franchises, like there's just a almost a camaraderie 173 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: and an understanding where you kind of just inherently are like, 174 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: I'm cool with you. We don't have to. But but 175 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: the way the other thing that is a lot like 176 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: Minnesota about Cincinnati is and it is everywhere that like tribalism, 177 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: you know, like Mott pal is better than your town brother. Sure, Florence, y'all, 178 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: why don't you walk at home? But they the Cleveland 179 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 1: rivalry is it's very Green Bay ish. Where we're all 180 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: sitting here. We have a lot to say about the personalities, 181 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: appearance and activities of people who live in Wisconsin. You 182 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: just duplicate it. There's this all time moment in Bengals history. 183 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 1: It's like nineteen eighty nine. I think they're playing the 184 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks, and an official made of call that the 185 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: fans did not care for. Seahawks are I think they're 186 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: backed up against their own end zone and the fans 187 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: it's it's December. So they start balling up snowballs and 188 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: heaving them onto the field, and the Seahawks are like, dude, 189 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: we're not doing it, We're not playing with you throwing 190 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: stuff at it. So they will and the officials have 191 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: to pause the game. And I love I love the moments. 192 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: I don't care if it's high school call when a 193 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: coach when they have to hand him the PA system 194 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: and be like, coach, can you please get a hold 195 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 1: of these people? It's so good. So they hand the 196 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: coach at the time Sam White or White. That's how 197 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: unimportant they've been, is they have been? Is? I don't 198 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: know how to pronounce this guy's name. Uh. He gets 199 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: the microphone and to the whole stadium he goes, will 200 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: the next person that sees anybody throw anything onto the 201 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: field point them out and get them out of here. 202 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: You don't live in Cleveland, you live in Cincinnati. The 203 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: place the erupts. Imagine just being in like Grand Rapids, 204 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: like it's yeah, you guys are pretty much. It's very similar. 205 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: But yeah, that's an all time moment. 206 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 2: That is like that is like a dad just going like, hey, 207 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 2: you're acting like your brother right now, knock it off. 208 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: Like I remember that as a kid. I don't, and 209 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: I do feel that against Packer, like the state of 210 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: Wisconsin and I don't. It's so funny because when you 211 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: cut the top half of both states off, you could 212 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: just drive across them and it's nearly indistinguishable. 213 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 2: I've always said without professional football, it's the same. 214 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: State pretty similar. I think there's a cholesterol difference due 215 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 1: to a cheese product. Like somehow we were like our 216 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: state was like, we'll make milk, you make cheese. I 217 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know how we decided that, but 218 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: we there's there's certainly a heart clog issue there. 219 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 2: I think we were like, hey, come get all moldy milk. Yeah, 220 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 2: you can have our moldy milk. 221 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: Speaking of the Packers, probably the greatest on field moment. 222 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: And I know we're not supposed to glorify streakers or 223 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: pe people who break onto the field, sure, but there 224 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: was a guy I'm not sure what year it was, 225 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: but the Bengals were like five and two. It was 226 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: like their best start in a decade and a half, 227 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: and they were playing the Green Bay Packers and they 228 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: were up like two or three touchdowns, and all of 229 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: a sudden, the Packers start coming back. The next thing 230 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 1: you know, they're only down a touchdown. Brett Farv's the quarterback. 231 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: You know, he's bringing him down the field like from 232 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 1: his own five yard line, like twenty seven yard past 233 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: seventeen yard pass another similar story, another bad call, and 234 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: he's right in that position where you're like, oh, this 235 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: is the part where Farv throws a touchdown and Cement's 236 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: kind of that. 237 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 2: Guy pass interference call, passing reference call. 238 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, probably, I would assume so, given. 239 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 2: What Okay, because I remember I remember the Packers at 240 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 2: that in that era getting past interference calls when the 241 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 2: defense was on there. 242 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: And by that era, you mean from the moment Brett 243 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,959 Speaker 1: Farv took a snap until the moment Aaron Rodgers was 244 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: traded to the Jets. 245 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 2: It's very fun to watch Packer fans complain about calls 246 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 2: and haven't seen a realistically called football game in fifteen years. 247 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy. I've always said, it's like, uh, Packer 248 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: fans are a lot like that. The richest kid in 249 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: your school who doesn't understand that, Like, if you mess 250 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: up your Honda, you're gonna have to work for a 251 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: while to get your new Honda. And if he crashes 252 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: his Maserati, he shows up the next game, he's like, 253 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: look at it, it's a Bentley, right, where's your Bentley? Right? 254 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: Gets a flat tire in his Bentley. He's like, where's 255 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: your where's your tire? Butler? God, my tire Butler's late. 256 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: I'm always getting screwed by my tire Butler. That's that's 257 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: what the vibe is. But so far it's he's about 258 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: to drop back, and you just have that vibe that 259 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: he's gonna mm hm bam. He's just gonna make he's 260 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: gonna make the throw. Because he drops back, this fan 261 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: breaks onto the field and literally plucks the ball out 262 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: of his hands. Terrifying, right, if you're a football player, 263 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, there's a human from the audience 264 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: on like, so he plucks the ball from his hands 265 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: and he just jets splits two dudes, like almost like 266 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: a movie where the two security guys dive at him 267 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: and crash into one another like angels in the outfield 268 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: almost and then he gets absolutely plowed by a security 269 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: guy as he's almost getting off the field. Man, it 270 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: is a I know, we don't promote those videos. They 271 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: don't even show it on TV anymore, right, yeah, exactly, 272 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: But it's to Kevin Harlan had that great call on 273 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: the radio where he called the streaker on the field. 274 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: I would have loved to have seen him call this 275 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: far one. 276 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 2: If I was the coach of the Bengals, I just 277 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 2: would have been like, on the phone, immediately, get this 278 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 2: guy a one dollar contract for the day he's on 279 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 2: our team. That's a turnover. 280 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah. I'm surprised that the city of Cincinnati 281 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: didn't invincible him, that they didn't vince Papoli. And it's 282 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: funny I read an article on him in the New 283 00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: York Times that was like thirty years later. The guy 284 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: who did it reflect You're like, man, you got it. 285 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: Must slow news day. If you're doing, if you're doing 286 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: a verbal history of the time a guy jumped on 287 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: the field and stole the ball from Brett Fahv. 288 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's tough. I went down to watch the Vikings 289 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 2: play in Cincinnati, and as you know, there are all 290 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 2: these foot bridges. There's bridges going from Cincinnati over to 291 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 2: Kentucky back and forth, a lot of bridges over the river. 292 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 2: So my friend Marshall and I were on a bridge 293 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 2: and we could we weren't at the game yet, we 294 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 2: could see the JumboTron for the starting lineups and the 295 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 2: national anthem started and we were like, this is this 296 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 2: is so awesome to watch them right here. And then 297 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 2: I don't know why. I don't know exactly what was 298 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 2: going on, but the blue angels flew over. I don't 299 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 2: know if you've ever had the blue angels fly right 300 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 2: over your head. It is so terrifying. Everything starts to 301 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 2: shake in your body and you don't know why. And 302 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 2: the bridge started moving a little bit. We were like, 303 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 2: what's happening. A bunch of people dove down to the ground. 304 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 2: It was it was awesome to be able to feel 305 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 2: that fear but not be in any real danger. I 306 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 2: really appreciated that. 307 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: What when when was that? What was that a recent 308 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: game or was this way back? Ye? 309 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is from twenty probably twenty years ago. 310 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: Okay, so you you came to a game in Cincinnati 311 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 1: years ago? Okay, I the first time I moved down here. 312 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 1: That was the year that the Dalvin Cook fumble game, Yeah, 313 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 1: in overtime, when when we all thought we were walking 314 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: in to beat a Cincinnati team that was the same 315 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: Cincinnati team that it had been for decades, and that 316 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 1: year ended with them in the Super Bowl. So we 317 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,400 Speaker 1: all felt really bad about that loss. But it's in 318 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: the in the matchup between the two teams. I think 319 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,199 Speaker 1: the home team has won fourteen of the last fifteen matchups. 320 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 1: First game was nineteen seventy three. That includes, in addition 321 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 1: to that fumble game and the Blue Angel game that 322 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: you were at, a thumping by the Vikings probably the 323 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 1: biggest winning the series of forty two to seven and 324 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: ninety two and the Bengals. And this is what my 325 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,719 Speaker 1: friends talk about this one a lot down here are 326 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: friends the win and in playoff opportunity on Christmas Night 327 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 1: against the Vikings in nineteen eighty nine, just our team. 328 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: You know, you never think about, like you have all 329 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: your sports trauma, like the mist kick, you know, all 330 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: the things that went wrong. You don't necessarily realize what 331 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:39,439 Speaker 1: you put on others. They're that game ruined Christmas for 332 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: people we know and care about. 333 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 2: We know a lot of comedians that talk about their 334 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 2: parents being divorced in Cincinnati, and I feel like that 335 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 2: caused fifty percent of them. 336 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: It played a role. Also, this is a big memorabilia city, man. 337 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: I know everybody wears memorabilia everywhere, but the amount of 338 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: out fits that you can't go out on Sunday with, 339 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 1: Like the guy has an outfit, the wife has an outfit, 340 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 1: the kid has an outfit, the baby has an outfit, 341 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 1: the dog has an outfit, and the kid's baby doll 342 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 1: that also has its own dog, they both have outfits 343 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: like they are. The amount of merch purchased in the city. 344 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 1: You think, as a comedian, you'd sell more merch here 345 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 1: just due to the branding that these people are into. 346 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: It's crazy. 347 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 2: Well, it's probably you don't sell more merch there because 348 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 2: you're stuck in a hallway that's also the entrance to 349 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 2: the club. So there's a lot of confusion going on. 350 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: But that'll hit home for six people. 351 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,239 Speaker 2: We have a friend who has a company there with 352 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 2: all the memorabilia, who bought up a lot of the 353 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 2: rights to a lot of teams and stuff, and so 354 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,719 Speaker 2: you know, he rarely does comedy anymore because of the 355 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 2: memorabilia game going on in Cincinnati. 356 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's the merch king of Cincinnati, no question. Well, 357 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: there's a lot of injuries, Chad, and I don't I 358 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 1: don't think you and I are qualified to discuss them 359 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: or when they're coming back. I think all I know 360 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: is I don't like watching a backup quarterback. But I'll 361 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: tell you what, I kind of like two backup quarterbacks. 362 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 1: If we're gonna get one. Let's get the fact that 363 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: this is Jake Browning versus Carson Wentz. Yeah, it's interesting 364 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: to me. Jake Browning he crushed us a couple of 365 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: years ago. I think I argue that he's one of 366 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: the better, if not best, backups in the NFL. And 367 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: I am, dude, I'm very curious on this Carson Wentz thing. 368 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: You can if he goes out and he plays well 369 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 1: where you and I are from close to the North 370 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: Dakota border, if he goes out, and imagine he goes 371 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: out and plays well and throws a big touchdown to 372 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: Adam Thielen, I think they're gonna have to shut down 373 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: the schools and name it a national holiday. From where 374 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 1: we live ninety four up to Fargo, they're just gonna 375 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: have to shut the whole area down. People are gonna 376 00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: lose it. 377 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 2: They're gonna have open eye outs for people like you 378 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 2: and I from Minnesota, like we're gonna make a. 379 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: Whole team of us, and we're gonna do this the 380 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz thing, like, objectively speaking, whether he was on 381 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: our team or not, the pride the North Dakota State 382 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: people who because that team was so unique and how 383 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: good they were and how many titles they were, and 384 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: then he was kind of the crown prince and he 385 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: first got to get drafted like that, and he has 386 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: a really good rookie year and on and on. I 387 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: mean there, you would have a better time convincing someone 388 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: water was sand right then that Carson Wentz shouldn't be 389 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 1: the guy every step of the way. So I there's 390 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: gonna be some because it's a home game, right, there's 391 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: gonna be some North Dakota State like belligerent heat in 392 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 1: that stadium. You're gonna be there, right, I think you're 393 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 1: gonna feel an interesting vibe when that dude, Like, there's 394 00:21:55,240 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of sixty year old farmers are like, finally, right, oddly, 395 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: I know it like, you're gonna get a lot of 396 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: that in that stadium. 397 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 2: I'm gonna be able to feel an energy of paying 398 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 2: less taxes but using another state stuff. It's gonna feel great. 399 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 2: I can't wait for it. Here's the thing. The only 400 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 2: thing that worries me about Carson Wentz is that if 401 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 2: he goes back to his North Dakota roots and like, hey, 402 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,439 Speaker 2: I played high school ball and all this stuff, and 403 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 2: you go, yeah, but there's two more guys out there 404 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 2: with you this time, Carson, this isn't nine man football anymore. 405 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 2: You got two more guys to throw it too. So 406 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,640 Speaker 2: I'm excited to watch a lot of opportunities. 407 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 1: I think. I think here's my prediction. Well, I also 408 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: like that it's interesting because these aren't backups with you know, 409 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: like I said, we have a lot of injury options. 410 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: But like they're throwing to the two best receivers in 411 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: the game, and one of them gets Justin Jefferson, the 412 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 1: other one gets Jamar Chase. That's a pretty wild backup matchup. 413 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: I think you remember Lynn sanity. I have to tell you, 414 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: I think if he goes out and plays well, who 415 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,439 Speaker 1: whens Mania is gonna run pretty wild. Like if he 416 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,239 Speaker 1: goes out and he puts something like outrageous up like 417 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: a three eighty or a three fifty, three eighty and 418 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 1: three or four touchdowns. Man, you're gonna you're gonna have 419 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 1: a vibe throughout the state that will be something we 420 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 1: haven't felt before. 421 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 2: I will tell you this. I have a friend that 422 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 2: lives in Fargo, and someday night he sent me a 423 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 2: picture of his Vikings Carson Wentz jersey that was on 424 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 2: his body, so he already has it. He's and it 425 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,360 Speaker 2: just said, So you're telling me there's a chance, that's 426 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 2: all it's said. 427 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: Well, I think it is a good part in the schedule, 428 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: if there were ever a good part to be struggling 429 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 1: with injuries, et cetera, et cetera. Like you've got the 430 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 1: world champion and a bunch of other world can and 431 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not besmirching the Bengals without Joe Joe Burrow. 432 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: I think you have an opportunity here, especially because you're overseas. 433 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: Like if Wentz can go in and play, well, let's 434 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 1: just stack a couple of w's, right, Yeah, let's let's 435 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: do what this websiteless city could never do. And let's 436 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,479 Speaker 1: let's put three ws on top of one another, and 437 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: then let's let's get into that buy. Let's make sure 438 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: Darra saw Addison. Let's get this whole group back. Yeah, 439 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 1: and then we really see It's almost like we can 440 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: restart our expectations. You can't. I mean, you before in 441 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: one and I will focus on one game, but you 442 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,679 Speaker 1: before in one and you can kind of restart your expectations. 443 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: I think. 444 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 2: Okay. 445 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: Also cam Akers back on the team.

That's what 483 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:26,959 Speaker 2: I'm excited for you. 484 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,640 Speaker 1: If you like this show is just becoming kind of 485 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: like a docu series on how poorly a person can watch. 486 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: Because we're two weeks in. Week one, your internet goes down, 487 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: your phone surface is spotty, so you have to watch 488 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: a game poorly on your cellphone. Week two opener at 489 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 1: the bank, Chad's got his gal. They're going down. Whamo, 490 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: A dude runs right into him, rear ends him, and 491 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 1: causes all sorts of problems. So, I mean, who knows? 492 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: Who knows what's next on this list? 493 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 2: I'll tell you a fun game watching two backup quarterbacks 494 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,360 Speaker 2: earning their spot. Vikes win by sixty. 495 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,199 Speaker 1: My guess was Chad gets on the field in an 496 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 1: important third down conversion and steals the ball from Jake Browning. 497 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 2: Well, here's the problem. I could not ever run in 498 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 2: between two people and have them tackle. They'd have to. 499 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 2: They would have to give me too much credit and 500 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 2: run into each other in front of me because my 501 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:29,880 Speaker 2: speed just does. 502 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 1: Not do it. Okay, let's do predictions. Okay, you already 503 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: gave yours, you already, but let's do game You had 504 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: Vikes by six. Give me a player performance and then 505 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 1: a Chad prediction. 506 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 2: Okay, player performance, I have two of them. I think 507 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 2: that because Cashman, let me ask you, this Cashman's still out? 508 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:51,199 Speaker 2: Do we know? 509 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: I believe? So I believe Cashman will still be out. 510 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 2: Okay. Then I say Eric Wilson pick six interesting, yep, 511 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 2: and I have Carson went Vents rushing. 512 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: Touchdown beterrest team. 513 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:05,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. 514 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 1: I I'm gonna go Vikes one hundred and twenty seven 515 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 1: to seventeen. I think over the Bengals. Yeah. For player performance, 516 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 1: I use this guy in game one, I'm gonna do. 517 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 1: I think there's a chance that we see an old 518 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: school like, hey, the running back ran for one hundred 519 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: and twenty yards and two touchdowns. Like give it to 520 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 1: that dude, Jordan Mason and let him rumble ye twenty 521 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 1: eight times. Let that dude have twenty to twenty eight 522 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,719 Speaker 1: carries and just let him. I just think he's a 523 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 1: beast man. Just let him. I think he's gonna he 524 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: can wear that defense isn't what it was, wear him out, 525 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: wear him down, and then when they're worn down, here 526 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 1: comes Carson Wentz with his big you know, North Dakota rock, 527 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: pick an arm and blam a couple of deep shots. 528 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: So I'm going big running back game with a cup 529 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: of explosive deep shots. And for a personal opinion, for 530 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 1: a personal prediction, this will be the first game that 531 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: I watch with my son. Okay, like, actually watch now. 532 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 1: He's he's very into it, as much as a toddler 533 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: who doesn't understand what's happening can be into something. And 534 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: he's gotten to watch a few minutes of the first 535 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: two primetime games. We're gonna watch this game together. He's 536 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: embarking on a journey that you and I and the 537 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 1: adults in our lives have all been on, and I'm 538 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 1: just hoping that his journey and ours eventually leads to so. 539 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: So my prediction is we will watch eight minutes of 540 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 1: the game, he will lose interest, and then I will 541 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: watch it on my phone while telling him that it's 542 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 1: important to him. Well, he eats Dino nuggets and asks 543 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 1: about Sesame Street. 544 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 2: Oh love it. Well, my personal prediction is I'm not 545 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 2: going with my girlfriend I'm going with a friend and 546 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 2: I'm going to have a separate meal each of the 547 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 2: four quarters, hoping for overtime. 548 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, they call that. They call that U Chads, Morgasborg. 549 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: That wasn't a thing. I tried to combine Chad and 550 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: Smorgsborg and then I just said both the words, and 551 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,479 Speaker 1: that's that. Sucks to end the show that way, but 552 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: we're at okay. Well, let's get a win. I'll see 553 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 1: you next week.
