49
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: The division is such a funny thing for me because

50
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: it does feel like we're in this back to the

51
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: Future two version of the NFC North.

52
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,680

53
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 2: exactly right.

54
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 3: One thing I could say to the Vikings and the

55
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 3: Bears fans here, and I think we can all relate,

56
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 3: is that Jordan Love ain't that guy. He's just not

57
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 3: so Eric. Can I finish? Can I please finish? Before

58
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 3: you in a rope like you always do? Jordan Love.

59
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: For Packers fans, they believe it's.

60
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 2: Red for Aaron Rodgers and the third.

61
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 3: Trilogy, and it's not. He's just a He's a middling quarterback.

62
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 3: He's gonna end his career.

63
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: Side close the show. You're taking the grabbing the wheel.

64
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 3: Three different at the end of his career, it's going

65
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 3: to be the Packers for five years, the Panthers for

66
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 3: three years, and then he's gonna like and in Cleveland

67
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 3: or Jacksonville, give me you break with this guy. He's

68
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 3: just not a go ahead side.

69
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: Probably the most beautiful thing that's happened in the history

70
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: of this program is you just went off on Jordan

71
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: Love and Gareth looked at me like.

72
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: Cy come on, so that's.

73
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: You're about to get divorced. Yeah, and you look at

74
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: your wife's best friend like back me up, ye, backside.

75
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: Listen. This is all I'll say. And I think listen,

76
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: I do not. I'm not under the impression that Jordan

77
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: Love is having an all pro season. I will say,

78
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: and Jake and I have done this through text messages,

79
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: the Bears fans, all the other people in the NFC

80
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: North when Rogers was starting, We're gone, this ain't your guy. Yes, Jake,

81
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 2: I let you talk. Jake, I let you talk, and

82
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 2: and and so it's just more of the same. It's

83
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 2: five games in. Like, there have been moments where I'm like, ooh,

84
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: this could be good. There have been moments where I'm like,

85
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 2: what is going on? There's definitely I also feel like

86
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 2: the youngest team in the NFL to be saying like

87
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: this is over five games in. I think again, a

88
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 2: longer sampling, and I do think it's there is a

89
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: problem when you're listening to Bears fans in particular because

90
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: they're organization is so bad, is so toxically bad that

91
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 2: they they know they can't get to your level, so

92
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 2: their plan is to drag you down to their level.

93
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: Before I let the rage that's seeping out of Jake's

94
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: face enter his microphone at those last remarks, this is gonna,

95
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: unfortunately be a little bit of two on one here, Gareth,

96
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: because how I view the division is like a group

97
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: of brothers. But we don't have the same dad. The

98
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: Packers their dad had a one night stand with our mom.

99
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: They had. He's he's like a textile, you know, king,

100
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: He's got sixty million dollars so far.

101
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 2: I love the dad, but keep going. I feel like,

102
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 2: is this okay?

103
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 3: I figure the dad too.

104
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 2: By the way, the dad's a textile guy who's sleeping

105
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 2: with great. Let's go sleeping with his back to the textile.

106
00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 2: But let's go yeah, great.

107
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: He has not taught his children the realities of the world.

108
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: It's a bit of a trust fun baby. You crash

109
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: your Maserati and you go, don't worry. The next car

110
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: is a Porsche. It's that sort of stuff.

111
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: Well, Chyle, Okay, no, no, no, I'm gonna let you defend no.

112
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 3: No, no, it's your show. It's your show. We both

113
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 3: know Gareth would love just.

114
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 2: Ja don't don't. Don't tell Cy what he can't. Let's

115
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 2: we're both saying the same thing. But I just don't

116
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 2: like the way Ja.

117
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 3: I'm sorry about his dad. He's acting like him right now.

118
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 2: The textile magnate.

119
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: The point is you're an entitled older brother. Thank you

120
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: don't much recognize the realities.

121
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 3: Thank you.

122
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 2: That's thank you. Keep going say that.

123
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: Jake and I live in with our dad, who you know,

124
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: gave us a reasonable.

125
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,679
Speaker 3: Work, like working class salt.

126
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 2: Jake's dad made him eat toenails with no water. Keep going, say.

127
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: We can all agree that regardless of what happened with

128
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: the first three children, the Detroit Lions was the little

129
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: brother who, like we thought he was putting sugar on

130
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: his cereal for eight years, but it was borax.

131
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 3: But he's he seems he seems to be a bad man.

132
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 3: Right now. I will say about the Detroit Lions is

133
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 3: I had a lot of fun with that head coach

134
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 3: when he started, and oh the great I thought, what's

135
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 3: his name Campbell? Again?

136
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 2: Campbell?

137
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 3: I thought he was the clown of all clowns. I

138
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 3: thought they did it again. I loved his talking about

139
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 3: how much Caffeini drinks.

140
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

141
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 3: And then I saw Hard Knocks and I thought, if

142
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 3: I were a player, I wouldn't mind being on this

143
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 3: team that seems to respect the players and building a

144
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 3: new culture. And now I think the NFC North is

145
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 3: in a little bit of trouble.

146
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 2: Well, I think I think that whenever I watch Hard Knocks.

147
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: I'm like, this team's gonna win the super Bowl, That's true.

148
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 2: And so I thought that with the Lions too. I

149
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: was like, yeah, you always think that, but they are real,

150
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 2: no doubt. I mean, that team is well coached, has

151
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 2: great personnel players.

152
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: We just don't expect anything from him, So anything they do,

153
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: you're like, holy shit, What's But I watched Hard Knocks

154
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: two and that opening speech he gave. If I was

155
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: in charge of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, I

156
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: would be less focused on performance and more focused on

157
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: could we get that rambling, fun mess of a speech

158
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: in there. He's like the non cowardly Lion. I just

159
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: I love him. It's hard to dislike anything they're doing

160
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: over there.

161
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 3: Can I tell you something that Gareth has said about

162
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 3: his team in terms of like the opposite of what

163
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 3: Dan Campbell says to his team every year when Aaron

164
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 3: Rondgers were choking the playoffs, because we in the NFC

165
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 3: North not talking tracks.

166
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 2: From when he won the Super Bowl. But go ahead,

167
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 2: so long ago. But we also not like eighty five.

168
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,359
Speaker 2: You've been living off the fumes of that forever. He's continued,

169
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 2: I'm asking you to keep talking, Please keep talking.

170
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 3: I want you to so whenever they choke, I always say, like,

171
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 3: here we go again. And then in a moment, Gareth

172
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 3: gets really emotional about the Packers. If you can tell

173
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 3: you and I side, we're doing the same thing. We're

174
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 3: wearing regular shirts like adults. He's wearing a nine year

175
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 3: old boy T shirt of the Green Bay Packers because

176
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 3: we were no because emotionally he's different, okay, and so

177
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 3: so we love our teams. You work for your team, right,

178
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 3: He's like a little.

179
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 2: Bit, I'm an owner of my team. It's sad.

180
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 3: It's because Dad the textile guy. But so when I said, like,

181
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 3: well you guys choked again. In a moment of pure anger,

182
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 3: he wrote a text that will live on forever, where

183
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 3: he wrote the point is is to go far, dude.

184
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 3: So as Packers fans, they're not looking to win Super Bowl,

185
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 3: the point is to go far. That that's because that's

186
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 3: not the point. The point is to win a super Bowl.

187
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 3: Go ahead? Sorry?

188
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 2: Right? And how many of those winning? Just size laughing

189
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: right now? So I'll take go ahead. I'm gonna have

190
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 2: a heart attack.

191
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 3: Go ahead. I'm also sorry for Gareth he just rambles

192
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 3: on and on. I go ahead side?

193
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 2: Why can't I mute? Jake Zoom is so tricky? I

194
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 2: will admit that that text was soon after I went

195
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 2: that was isn't great? But the point behind it was

196
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 2: my team's good, Your team's dog crash?

197
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 3: And what's the bet we made about the Super Bowl? Uh?

198
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 3: And Jordan Love by twenty five years. He believes that

199
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 3: Jordan Love will win a Super Bowl and be the

200
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 3: starting quarterback of the Packers while they do it.

201
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 2: I believe manifesting.

202
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 3: I believe they are three years away from a true

203
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 3: rebuild because I don't think the head coach is it.

204
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 3: I think that they were all under the Aaron Rodgers umbrella.

205
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:29,599
Speaker 3: You saw what he did on the Jets and the

206
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 3: Hard Knocks where he made everybody better. But miss a

207
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 3: middling team that has And.

208
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 2: Then I'm on side of talk wit. Admit it, admit

209
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 2: the whole time that Aaron Rodgers was the Packers quarterback,

210
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 2: you talked shit the holt. So it's like your opinion

211
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 2: of Aaron Rodgers when he left was.

212
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 3: Can I tell you why? Can I tell you why?

213
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: Because you're delusional?

214
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 3: Can I tell you why?

215
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 2: Because you don't know what it's like to win, And

216
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: it's like it just has manifested in some really bizarre

217
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 2: ways in your head. That arguably is really said because

218
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 2: you think every offseason, this is the Bears year, and

219
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 2: then every three years you have to fire your GM

220
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 2: or your coach and restart, and then you draft a

221
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 2: quarterback and you're like, he's the future and he has

222
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 2: three years of middling And then.

223
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 3: Can I tell you why?

224
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 2: Yeah? What you say it, I'm asking because.

225
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers is a super weird guy that we all

226
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 3: now know. But at the time, I was about nine

227
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 3: years ahead of that when he was wearing all denim

228
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 3: and a cowboy hat, and I would send it to

229
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 3: you as a Texas tuxedo. That's a great look, and

230
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 3: you would say things like that. Go ahead.

231
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: The fact that you're still friends after you sent that

232
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: text message. The point is to go far Comma, dude,

233
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: is shocking Because I have this trash talk rule. I

234
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: would have unleashed on that I wouldn't have been able

235
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: to like it too. And what I've had to learn

236
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: is that I can trash talk generic fans, but within

237
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: my interpersonal relationships my closest friends who are fans of

238
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: other teams, we just have this understanding that I get

239
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: frustrated and I can turn inward. I'm a big turn

240
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: inward guy. Interesting, and so if somebody sends me a

241
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: message that really sucks after a terrible loss, they're gonna

242
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: get something that's not about football back. They're gonna get

243
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: get nasty. Yeah, they're gonna get a you know how

244
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: you can't stand the way your dad treats people. You

245
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: do the same thing but in different ways. Like that's

246
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: what you're getting back from me.

247
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 3: See, I will say, Gareth and I we go really hard,

248
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 3: but we both live in the same zone with it.

249
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 3: We never I will go on a little bit that

250
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 3: the you know, Gareth has stretches where he lives with

251
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 3: his mom and dresses like a nine year old boy.

252
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 3: I will tap into.

253
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 2: That complete again. If Jake wanted to live in reality,

254
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 2: we'd love to have him, as with all the Bears fans,

255
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 2: but unfortunately they've accepted an invitation to La La Land,

256
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 2: where they want to play in flowers and drinking candy

257
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 2: cane rivers.

258
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 3: In the last month, Gareth, whose roof have you lived under?

259
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 2: The I was in hotels while I was touring in

Speaker 3: mother seventy percent or stayed with your mother seventy time?

271

Speaker 3: Can you show us your right arm?

287
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: You have to admit, Gareth, you pulled your sleeve up.

288
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: I'd like to see the other sleep because here's the thing.

289
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: I'm not going to buy the other arm. We are

290
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,640

Speaker 2: You must love this. Oh wait, and you have.

294
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: What's that Jake about an oblong softball size? There? It's

295
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: not a small green Bay Packers logo.

296
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 3: Tennis ball, bicep, it's a tennis ball.

297
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: It's a tennis ball size green Bay Packers logo.

298
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 2: How old were you?

299
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: How'd you feel about it when you got it? And

300
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: how do you feel today?

301
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 2: Twenty four I felt real good again. It's hard to

302
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 2: explain to you too. I understand why you guys are

303
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 2: gonna have fun with this, but you don't know what

304
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 2: winning like. Often consistently Super Bowls, you don't know what

305
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 2: that's like.

306
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 3: Because the point is is to go far. The point

307
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 3: is is to go for.

308
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 2: Well the furthest. The point is to go furthest. But

309
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 2: if you're going far, your team's pretty good, which is

310
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 2: a good indicator. But uh, and then now I feel

311
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 2: very happy about it, still proud. It's a connection to

312
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 2: where I'm from. I love the Packers. I'm a part owner.

313
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 2: I have Nick Barnett, former linebacker, follows me on Twitter.

314
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 2: So does Gilbert Brown. I'm piped in.

315
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: Things are good, Jake geeky ending, So Gilbert Brown, nice

316
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: wrap up. Anytime you finish up with Gilbert Brown, people

317
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: in your home state are gonna love that.

318
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 2: That's right, and that's what I'm playing to. I'm not

319
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 2: playing to you leaves up front.

320
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 3: So sorry when you guys asked me to do this.

321
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 3: The reason I've brought garethon is because the Bears.

322
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 2: It's all reflection.

323
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 3: He's this is not about This is not about our podcast.

324
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 3: We're here to help. This isn't connect.

325
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 2: No, It's like if you if like your child gets

326
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 2: burned and you start shaking keys in front of its

327
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 2: face to just sort of take its mind off the burn.

328
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 2: That is what a Bears fan. That's the metaphor.

329
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 3: Are you saying you're the keys?

330
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 2: You're a metaphor for him?

331
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: Distracting his football is like, hey, you know when a

332
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: newborn gets torched and you have to hold Jack.

333
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 2: Is trying to cover his pain with anything shiny that

334
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 2: can take his mind off it for a minute. He

335
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 2: has the brain of a raven. He's smart, but he

336
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 2: also loves the shiny thing, and that's what he needs

337
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: because his day to day life is looking for grubs

338
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 2: and dirt.

339
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 3: Thank you for lying and saying I was smart. Here's

340
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 3: what I will say. Say we got a big game

341
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 3: on Sunday, and I will say it is a pivotal

342
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 3: game in the division. And here's why you guys just

343
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 3: lost your wide receiver. I'm not a believer in Kirk Cousin.

344
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 3: You're not either, I know, Nope, nobody on planet Earth is.

345
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 3: I think he's really rock solid, but he's just not

346
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 3: the guy. I think your head coach had a great

347
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,239
Speaker 3: year last year, but I do think you guys won

348
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 3: a lot of close games, and this year it might

349
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 3: be a revealing process of who the vikings might be.

350
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 3: The Bears, we were very overhyped.

351
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 2: I was really I was just gonna say, who was.

352
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 3: Hold on you? Animal? We have underperformed. But I will

353
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 3: say the last two weeks there's a kid out of

354
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 3: Ohio State and Justin Fields, who's playing some great football

355
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 3: this week. If he throws up another game the way

356
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 3: he's been doing, and our defense under Eberflus, which is

357
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 3: why we got that sob and boy has he under delivered.

358
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 3: But if our defense finally plays some version of a

359
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 3: cover two, that I guess is excited and we can

360
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 3: shut you guys down without your wide receiver and put

361
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 3: up real numbers, Well the NFC North just got excited

362
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 3: because I think Jordan Love is on the beginning of

363
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 3: a downward spiral. That is the big game.

364
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 2: What's your deal? It's an obsession. It's a disgusting obsession.

365
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 3: And so I think this Sunday, I think the Lions

366
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 3: are going to win the division, and I think there's

367
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 3: another team out of the NFC North who could sneak

368
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 3: into the playoffs. But if the Vikings dominate this Sunday,

369
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 3: the Bears are in tank mode. Eber Flutes is fired.

370
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 3: I think everybody's on the chopping block. But if we win,

371
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 3: I think you guys are starting to chase the Caleb

372
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 3: Williams Lotto and I think one of the teams after

373
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 3: this Sunday their seasons over.

374
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 2: You saw how he fumbled his pen right there, say

375
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 2: just classic Bears fan, can't hold on to anything for

376
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 2: too long. It was a.

377
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: Unique combination of impressive football thought and poor hand eye coordination.

378
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,199
Speaker 1: You don't get those two next to one another in

379
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: real time very often.

380
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 2: Well, you put them on the field.

381
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 3: Was what I was going to do was a spin

382
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 3: And in my head I thought the spin, and I.

383
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 2: Realized, you're not Lars Olrik. Yeah what are you doing?

384
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 3: Because I've never practiced. It was gonna be this who's

385
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 3: gonna go and then? And that will determine our season.

386
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 2: That's not bad. We could fix it a post. We

387
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 2: could fix it a post.

388
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, you said your editor is a genius.

389
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 2: Yeah that was real sad, So.

390
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 3: Say, what do you think of that? That push in

391
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 3: terms of Sunday. Where are we at? What do you

392
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 3: think the Vikings fans are going to feel about that?

393
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 3: And what do you feel about it?

394
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 2: Gohead, there's no need for me to talk. I just

395
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 2: watched two losers scrap it out in the sewer. I

396
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 2: think you're wait, who do I.

397
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 3: See down here? Jordan Love and that little geek coach

398
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 3: of yours.

399
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 2: I thought we weren't talking about it. I'm sorry, I'm

400
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 2: upstairs in the mansion with the textile money.

401
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: I mean, that's your fans, not your team. Do not

402
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: use my metaphors against me. I I think there's some

403
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: truths in what you just said. I will tell you.

404
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: I don't like going to Chicago. Two things. Chicago's a

405
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: great city. It's hard to make fun of.

406
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 2: I don't.

407
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: It's not like I'm going to manit walk. I'm going to.

408
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 3: Shoo that one cut the My mother used to live

409
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 3: in Mantua, that one, that one got his boat boom.

410
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 2: And by the way, you're talking about a major metropolitan

411
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 2: city versus somewhere in the bumble aft. No, don't, don't.

412
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 2: You can't.

413
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: You can't play both sides of the game.

414
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 2: Go to a roorchy and be like, ooh, the big

415
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 2: town look at that.

416
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: But they're they're not the Champagne Bears.

417
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, so so I can I just say really fast. So,

418
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 3: Gareth and I do a podcast called We're Here to Help.

419
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 3: It's an advice podcast. It's been going really great. There

420
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 3: is a real problem with it, and that is the

421
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 3: yap and yap yap from Little Packer Boy because he

422
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 3: just doesn't know when it's time for the other to speak,

423
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 3: as in, you side.

424
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 2: Well, to be fair, we're used to being a top something,

425
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 2: no shot, but go ahead side, we want.

426
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: You to talk about God, I got nothing.

427
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 2: I hate going to Chicago.

428
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: We could have Randy Moss and Jerry Rice in their

429
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: prime and we'd walk into Chicago and be up ten

430
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: to eight with a minute thirty to play, and Justin

431
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: Fields would have the ball driving down for a field goal.

432
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what our record is in Chicago, like definitively,

433
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: but in the last twenty years we probably haven't won

434
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: more than three times. I hate this game. This is

435
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: like one of my least favorite games of the year.

436
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 3: What do you think about getting rid of Cook as

437
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 3: a running back? Because I didn't get that. I think

438
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 3: he's such a talent.

439
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: My ideology with coaches and general managers is bring them

440
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: in when they come in. I'm not smart enough to

441
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: make those decisions, and so I like to be proven,

442
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: like prove to me that I shouldn't like you. And

443
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: so we are so early into it, and Quacy has

444
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 1: done such a good job with a number of moves,

445
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: and O'Connell, like you said that, dude was incredible last year.

446
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,479
Speaker 1: I'm not quite at the point where I'm going I

447
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: hate these moves.

448
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 2: That's a good attitude because when it's early, you shouldn't

449
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 2: jump and rush to judgments because that's what loser organizations do,

450
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 2: you know. So like, if you have someone new, give

451
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 2: him a second before you start saying crazy stuff.

452
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 3: Is Jordan Love considered newer?

453
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 2: It's he in year four, He's played five games as

454
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 2: a starter. So what are you talking about exactly?

455
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 3: But Aaron Rodgers his first year, he was in the

456
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 3: playoffs breaking round. He was, yes, he was, I've sent

457
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 3: you the tech, I've sent you the article.

458
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: Geek, here's a question for you. I know we were

459
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: getting into the game a little bit, but I need

460
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 1: to know both you guys are super successful dudes, and

461
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 1: my favorite thing to ask guys who are die hards

462
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: and have started to achieve success in their careers. I mean, Jake,

463
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: with your character on New Girl, obviously you had to

464
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: have had something to do with the Chicago tie.

465
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. So when the show started, my character and Lamarn's

466
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 3: character Winston were supposed to be from ann Arbor, Michigan,

467
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 3: and Liz Meriweather had spent She'd grown up near ann Arbor, Michigan.

468
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 3: And I said, thank you for the job. I'd love

469
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 3: to do it. He's from Chicago. I'm from Chicago. If

470
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 3: you do Michigan, we're gonna have to connect to that

471
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 3: and it's gonna really alienate me. Can we make them

472
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 3: from Chicago? And then we were able to talk Cubs

473
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 3: and Rizzo and the Bears and the Bulls and it

474
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 3: just makes it so much more fun.

475
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 1: Have you guys had because of, you know, being more

476
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: synonymous with the teams you love? Have you guys had

477
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: cool moments? I mentioned Gilbert Brown.

478
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 2: Follows me, right, did I say that? I'll go ahead

479
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 2: side sorry with that. But here's the thing.

480
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: Gilbert Brown was a phenomenon for a few years.

481
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 2: He had a burger named after from a burger kick.

482
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 2: Things are good, go ahead side.

483
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: But there are those moments. I remember they let me

484
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: on the field before games every once in a while,

485
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,479
Speaker 1: and they shouldn't absolutely because everybody else is a grown up,

486
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: and I'm like, uh, it's.

487
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 2: The guy I root for. Can I hold the marker? Yeah?

488
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got a cool one. I got a I

489
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 3: had gotten in touch in twenty sixteen with some of

490
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 3: the Cubs and we were on Twitter DM and each

491
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 3: other what have you, And I'd gotten to know John

492
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 3: Lester a little bit and it was Game seven and

493
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 3: I was like inch cago with my dad and was like,

494
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 3: you know, it's like a little dork just the end,

495
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 3: like at a great game, John, And I thought like,

496
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 3: I was like, we're all written for you here in

497
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 3: Chicago or something so just nerdy and it just true excitement.

498
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 3: And I thought, you know, if you're about to pitch

499
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 3: Game seven of the World Series, you must be in

500
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 3: some like weird tank where you're just like eating protein

501
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 3: and stretching. And he wrote back like thanks man, It's

502
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 3: gonna be a lot of fun. He's like, I'm feeling good.

503
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 3: And I wrote back like thank you for responding on

504
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 3: this glorious day and we just went back and forth

505
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 3: a little bit, and he was so normal, you know.

506
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 3: It was like He's like, yeah, everything's good. How's ever?

507
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 2: And I was like, whoa, put your phone down, man? Focus? Yeah,

508
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 2: was that unsettling.

509
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: I saw Dwight Howard before the biggest.

510
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 2: Game of the Lakers.

511
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: Yere once pitching a show and at like Relativity Television,

512
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: and I like, as he was walking out, I was like,

513
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: go go to the gym.

514
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 3: Well, you realize they're they're not They're not like us

515
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 3: as fans, like when we're watching games. They'll be like

516
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 3: nine adults standing up on their right foot because they're like,

517
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 3: I'm so nervous and if I step on my left

518
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 3: foot they might lose. This is just what they do.

519
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 2: No, there's that Joe Montana story where he saw John

520
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 2: Candy in the crowd during the Super Bowl.

521
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the best.

522
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 2: Thank you for saying I'm super successful. So I'm still

523
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 2: nothing good as happening as far as the Packers go.

524
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 2: But after a show once I did do a show

525
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 2: and mention the Packers, and then Nick Barnett was standing

526
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 2: there and I couldn't place him because you know how

527
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 2: like you sip you go through running. You go through

528
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 2: like all these players so quickly and you know them

529
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 2: completely and then like three years later you're like what.

530
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 2: And I was like looking at him and it took

531
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 2: me about a minute and a half, like we'd taken

532
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 2: a picture before. I was like Nick Barnett. And then

533
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 2: we went out and hung out that night. But outside

534
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 2: of that, I wasn't texting anyone. Before Game seven, I

535
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 2: did get to tour the vikings before it was open. Really,

536
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 2: uh yeah, I took because there was a guy I

537
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 2: knew who whatever basically was like, if you want to

538
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 2: come take a look, and I was like okay, And

539
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 2: I was white and they made me wear a Viking's

540
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 2: hard hat. As I was walking around, I was like,

541
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 2: this is some bullshit. And then as I was walking around,

542
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 2: I just in the distance see a golden God a

543
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 2: guy working with a packer's hard hat on, and I

544
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 2: went over to him and I'm like yeah, and I

545
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 2: showed him my awesome tattoo quite Jake and uh, and

546
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 2: we like talked for a minute. I can't remember. Someone

547
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 2: said like they wrote an article, but I googled him

548
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 2: and they and the Journal Sentinel in Milwaukee. They'd written

549
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 2: an article about working behind enemy lines.

550
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the worker afterwards said like that little boy

551
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 3: was really nice. I was glad I made his day.

552
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 3: I'm just worrying a hat at work and some little

553
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 3: boy ran up to me and was like, oh, whoa,

554
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 3: I have a tattoo? Can I have a hug? Are you?

555
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 2: I'll tell your little d weird o DM story. I

556
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 2: let you get away with it. Living in your fan

557
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 2: is why I was a reeping This guy out.

558
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 3: The guy the report that didn't get in there is

559
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 3: Gary said will you be my dad?

560
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 2: What did he say?

561
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: How did he respond?

562
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 2: I said, good luck with the stadium, even if you

563
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 2: don't finish it. The point is to go far. You

564
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 2: don't need to finish the whole thing for it to

565
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 2: be an amazing time. Just just build as much as

566
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 2: you can and then on.

567
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 3: The point for the Bears, it's to stay in Soldier

568
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 3: Field forever.

569
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: For some reason, I've told this story a lot, and

570
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: I will shortcut it. But my brother in law was

571
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: very close with somebody in the organ. We didn't get

572
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 1: to go to games growing up, and so when I

573
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: got older and my brother in law had this connection,

574
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: it was a like kid in a candy store type stuff,

575
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: kind of like you with a guy with a packer's

576
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,239
Speaker 1: construction hat on. And so he brought us down on

577
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 1: the field and it was the far viear. It was

578
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 1: the first far year and we were brought onto the

579
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: field like where I got to go see a losers

580
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: to all the people who had the coolest spot.

581
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 2: And he tapped.

582
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 1: Brett Farv and went Brett and like intered Eustas and

583
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: all I said to him, like you think you can

584
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: handle those moments? I just said the word gunslinger.

585
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 2: That's it.

586
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: That was my whole I went gun slinger and he

587
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 1: was like yeah, and then he just went like it was.

588
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: It was very so I'm not I'm not built for it.

589
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: If John, if I was texting John Lester before Game seven, I'd.

590
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 2: Been like, what are you eating? What's happened? I wouldn't.

591
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 3: I was selling no chance. Hey, Gareth, do we have

592
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 3: a Brett Farv Viking story?

593
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 2: No, we don't, and unfortunately we do have to hop

594
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 2: off side. This has been an incredible time, but we

595
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 2: have a we have a nine thirty. No we do.

596
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, just like I have told that story on the

597
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: show before. It was of no value to the program

598
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: for me to tell it again. It was literally in

599
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: hopes that as I cast that big Brett fav worm

600
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: outa into the water that there would be a bass.

601
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 2: Wait, Bobber's bobbin.

602
00:28:58,480 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 3: And there's there's a mass.

603
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 2: There's some bites. Jake again, to his credit, I call

604
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 2: him rule Book because he's just very he has We've

605
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 2: talked about it even with our podcast. He there is

606
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 2: a really he has a very specific skill set, which

607
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 2: is he reads things very well. Not sports. But he

608
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 2: said to me, and I think it was I think

609
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 2: I don't even think Brett Farv had signed with the

610
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 2: Vikings yet. It was just like the plane was going

611
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 2: to killn Mississippi, like there was just there were storm clouds.

612
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 3: Very emotional, He was very emotional.

613
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 2: And I was in not a good place with it,

614
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 2: as as always, and Jake wanted to exploit. Jake wanted

615
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 2: to exploit it as usual, because you are a vicious

616
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 2: personality despite our charming. You see the time and hold.

617
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 3: On, let me get you, and then you remember exactly

618
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 3: where you're at. I said, with that team of the Vikings,

619
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 3: you guys were good, but you didn't have a quarterback.

620
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 3: And correct, you guys were very real, and Brett Favre

621
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 3: was still good. And I go, if Farv goes to

622
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 3: the Vikings, they're going to be dangerous and he goes, no, No,

623
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 3: Farvar is done. I go, if they go, they're going

624
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 3: to be dangerous, go ahead.

625
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 2: I was in a tough spot and I was going no, no,

626
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 2: and I'm going, I don't you know, I don't know.

627
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 2: Jake goes, well, what would you do if they won

628
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 2: the super Bowl with Farv? And that's when I got

629
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 2: a case of not going to happen. So I was like,

630
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 2: not gonna happen, not gonna have Well, what would you

631
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 2: do if it? If it did, it's not gonna happen, Well,

632
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 2: what would you do? I'm not nothing, it won't happen.

633
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 3: No, I said, well what might happen? And you go

634
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 3: out of nowhere? You go, if brat Farv goes to

635
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 3: the Vikings that they win a super Bowl, I will

636
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 3: put a little wooden rod into the whole of my

637
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 3: penis and break it off. And I said, I go, Gareth,

638
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 3: we were taking a hike hike in Griffith and I go, well, Gareth,

639
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 3: that's stupid. You'll never do that. And he goes they won't.

640
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 3: I go, let's get to reality.

641
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 2: The Jakesy's blood in the water. He's got a good

642
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 2: chump sense, like I said, And he said, well, why

643
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 2: don't we grind it? How about if Brett Farvre takes

644
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 2: the Vikings to the super Bowl and plays the first

645
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 2: half he's a big plays the first half guy and

646
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 2: wins and wins, then you to go along with your

647
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 2: packer tattoo, have to get a tattoo on your calf

648
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:16,959
Speaker 2: a farvitage Vikings, Jersey.

649
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 3: With the writing of it, my MVP Minnesota's Brett Farvre.

650
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 2: This is a moment that I should have read better.

651
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 2: I just said let's go, because for the rest of

652
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 2: the year people would say, well, what do you get

653
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 2: if he doesn't get it? And I would go nothing,

654
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 2: And people were like, that's not a bet, that's just

655
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 2: a stupid thing. That's like a contract you signed without

656
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 2: reading the top. And I'm like, yeah, it's a fair point.

657
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 3: So we shook hands on it. Gareth earned the nickname

658
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 3: from that moment. I was rule book and he was

659
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 3: Option one. And then the season starts and as we know, magical.

660
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 2: Magical, he's not fire. He's there's games where it's over

661
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 2: and he's fine his spots in the end zone.

662
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: You didn't know existence that Niners game living in it.

663
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: Like the first few games were a little chunky because

664
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: it's an old man quarterback and a run dominant offense,

665
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: and even some of like the state hadn't completely bought in.

666
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: But when he threw that like whatever yard touchdown to

667
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: a receiver who just joined the team a day ago

668
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: or whatever, we're like, this is what it feels like.

669
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 2: It was tough to watch, and so on and on

670
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 2: they go. Magical season. And as the season's progressing, Jake's

671
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 2: texts are getting a little more specific. I wouldn't even

672
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 2: say just he's starting to send dimension questions what do

673
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 2: you think in like six seven inches? You know, because what.

674
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 3: Gareth and I do and one of the reasons we

675
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 3: do the podcast together is we do a lot of bits,

676
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 3: but we do take everything we say seriously, so the

677
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 3: advice will give. The reason we like kind of stupid

678
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 3: callers is because we're not real therapists. But whoever calls

679
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 3: in with whatever problem we're gonna try to solve, and

680
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 3: for this he's at it. So we are going to

681
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 3: do a tattoo. We are gonna sit together. I don't

682
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 3: need it to cover his whole leg, but we're not

683
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 3: gonna do when that's an inch big, we are going

684
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 3: to go probably cover the calf. Yeah, And Gareth is fair.

685
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 3: I will say, you're very fair. You're like, we're gonna

686
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 3: do it, right, man, let's talk real dimensions. But we're

687
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 3: gonna do If we're gonna do it, I'm gonna get

688
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 3: a real bread far tattoo in a Viking. Seriously, that

689
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 3: is my MVP.

690
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 2: My stress level is is skyrocketing.

691
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 3: Wait, Gareth, can I be honest? My stress level was

692
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 3: panicking because I was like, I have which I don't

693
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 3: know at the time, but we had other friends going like,

694
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 3: you're not going to really hold him to it, and

695
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 3: I'm like, you don't know us. I have to hold

696
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 3: him to it, but I don't want him to get

697
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 3: this tattoo.

698
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 2: It's too much. Well, and it was also other other

699
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 2: friends are starting getting to this gonna be great when

700
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 2: he has to get this tattoo. So it's becoming more

701
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 2: of an event. So we all get together for the

702
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 2: NFC Championship game Viking Saints. I will not I will

703
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 2: not dig my face into the scar that for that game.

704
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 2: But as you remember, they lost, but that game was

705
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 2: not lost because of Brett Farv. People remembered that that

706
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 2: terrible throw in overtime, that was a bad decision, but

707
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 2: Peterson fumbled four times. It was like, felt like a

708
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 2: thousand should have won that game. And for some reason,

709
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 2: the textile daddy in the sky smiled down upon his

710
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,240
Speaker 2: beautiful baby boy and said, no, no, no, my friend,

711
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,280
Speaker 2: No no no. But it was stressed.

712
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: It was so Chad Daniels and I were playing have

713
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: you done Skyline? Gareth out in Appleton. Yeah, So we

714
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: were playing Skyline the weekend. The first time the Packers

715
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: played the Vikings with Brett Farr was a Monday night

716
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 1: game and we were in We were in Appleton playing

717
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,720
Speaker 1: Skyline and I had brought with a Vikings far of Jersey,

718
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: and Chad, who feels a lot like what's going on

719
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: here with you two, was like, wear it, wear it

720
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: on stage. I think that'd be neat if you wore

721
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 1: it on stage.

722
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

723
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: So he sends me up on stage. I'm like, of course,

724
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: I'll wear it on stage. And then he's in the

725
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: back and he has the sound guy queue up the

726
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: dun Dun, dun duh the theme music, and then I've

727
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: never heard a boo like that in SAE because it's

728
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: only a couple hundred people. But You're like, is this

729
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: what it feels like to be the most hated wrestler

730
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: in the biggest arena on the planet. But then all

731
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I saw the lights slowly come up

732
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: because I was full.

733
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 2: I was haulk Hogan like I.

734
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: Was into it, and he said he had to bring

735
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: the lights up because he saw guys getting that. I'm

736
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: gonna throw a full beer at his face vibe. Is

737
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: there an example in history that you can think of?

738
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: Had it happened, had they won the Super Bowl with

739
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: Brett Favre, That's probably the most unique championship story in

740
00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: sports history because of the huge rivalry, the way it ended.

741
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: And then the first year he goes everyone to it

742
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 1: had been like nothing anybody had ever seen. And now

743
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: the Vikings fans go, We've won the same amount as

744
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: you with.

745
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 2: Farv in one year. It would have been crazy or

746
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 2: just like we won a championship. Is this what it's

747
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,919
Speaker 2: like to do the show? Jake? But yeah, what we're

748
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 2: having a fine, what's going on.

749
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: It was too quick. But it was too quick and

750
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: too mean.

751
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 2: And if I knew you.

752
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 3: Were a sign SI, it's emotion.

753
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 2: I know I'm saying that would be awesome because you

754
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 2: would know, you would understand it. And Jake, Jake, Jake.

755
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 2: Same thing with Jake, because you know if he was

756
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 2: like in diapers when they won the last one. But

757
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 2: they've been living off the fumes of that forever.

758
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 3: So cy cy for you and I. We're just trying

759
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 3: to do a podcast. We're trying to add a little

760
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 3: bit of joy for people. And what we're dealing with

761
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 3: is a guy I love, one of my best friends

762
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,280
Speaker 3: on planet Earth. I love the guy. He's got emotional

763
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 3: years ago.

764
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 2: It's nuts forty years ago.

765
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 3: You know, the big problems he has. It's also big

766
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 3: problems the Packers have. And it's the problem the fan

767
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 3: base has. They're not seeing reality, and that is they

768
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 3: have a hole in the middle.

769
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 2: Jake and Jake coming from you seeing reality. Let's be honest,

770
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 2: I mean truly when it comes to football reality.

771
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 3: We have a bet this year, don't we What is

772
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 3: it we do?

773
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have bets every year. We used to have

774
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 2: a bet that whoever won the division or went the furthest.

775
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 3: Hey, Garrett, Gareth, this is a this is a Viking podcast.

776
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 3: I don't think they want to hear a Packer fan.

777
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 2: Ramble would buy the winter Dinner and the and the

778
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 2: winner got to put the loser in whatever gear they

779
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,320
Speaker 2: wanted for their team. And Jake called the bet the

780
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 2: annual bet off because he just ended up being I

781
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,760
Speaker 2: would torture him over his stake every.

782
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: Year for years, but now is the moment to revive it.

783
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 2: Now, now is time.

784
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: Now we're You can't enter a bet like that when

785
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 1: somebody has one of the whether I am a huge

786
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 1: fan of the guy or not, one of the three

787
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: greatest throwers of a football of all times, it's hard

788
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: to be like, I want to be in a competition

789
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: with you every year. To wear a silly hat like

790
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 1: that's a tough start.

791
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 3: It's a different thing. When he was there, he was

792
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 3: truly special. And the way that they treat legends over

793
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 3: there is a really disgusting thing about the fan base

794
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 3: and the organization because if you've got somebody with that

795
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 3: level of talent that's done that much for your city,

796
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,320
Speaker 3: I know, the great fans of Minnesota in a city

797
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,800
Speaker 3: in Minneapolis and St. Paul, the Twin Cities. I love them.

798
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 2: I'm actually there this Saturday. The Doll Up, my other podcast,

799
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 2: is going to be in Saint Paul Saturday Fitzgerald Theater,

800
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 2: and I love the town and I love so.

801
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 3: Let everybody go to that show and boo him because

802
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 3: he hates your team.

803
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:46,919
Speaker 2: Let's no No dollapodcast dot com go, let's end.

804
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 1: I do this every week and it's I'm asked to

805
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 1: do it. It's my least favorite part, especially because we

806
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 1: have somebody who has no emotional stake in the game whatsoever. Uh,

807
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: let's do predictions for this Sunday's game. Jake, you can

808
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 1: go first. Gareth, I will let you go second.

809
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 3: So I think this game is Our defense isn't great.

810
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,720
Speaker 3: So even though you guys don't have your wide receiver,

811
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,839
Speaker 3: I think you're gonna put up points. But I think

812
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 3: Justin Fields is starting to come into his own a

813
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 3: little bit, so I think we're gonna put up some points.

814
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 3: DJ Moore and Justin Fields together they have a perfect

815
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 3: rating when Justin throws to him. We had to chase

816
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 3: Claypool ordeal which is now over, which I think kind

817
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 3: of messed up our offense a little bit. I don't

818
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 3: mind the play. I thought he was going to be

819
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 3: great coming out of Notre Dame, but he just wasn't

820
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 3: a fit for us. So I think it's going to

821
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 3: be I think we're gonna take the victory, but I

822
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 3: think it's going to be about thirty one to twenty eight,

823
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 3: and I think it's gonna come down. I think it's

824
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,839
Speaker 3: gonna be a very close game. And I think there

825
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 3: it might end with the ball in Kirk Cousins hands.

826
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 2: And don't do it, Dad, And I think it might.

827
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 3: And he ain't for haviny eight Rogers. He's more of

828
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 3: a love go ahead.

829
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 2: Ain't five. Yeah, it's just trying to connect with you

830
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 2: a little bit. But you've proven yourself again to be

831
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 2: a nasty, nasty man.

832
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:11,240
Speaker 3: Uh.

833
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:11,839
Speaker 1: Cry.

834
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 2: First of all, great show. I love being here. I

835
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 2: love the Vikings fans, Saturday Fitzgerald, Theater, Dollar podcast dot Com.

836
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 3: Uh.

837
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 2: I appreciate you having Jake. Jake does not have a

838
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,359
Speaker 2: place or a venue a lot of times to kind

839
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 2: of express these delusional thoughts, and it is nice for

840
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 2: him to go play pretend in the in the playroom,

841
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:32,879
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. He's the little kid who

842
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 2: has the Tonka truck, but in his head he's making

843
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,439
Speaker 2: some men for the big work site, so it's fun

844
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 2: for him. Now, I want to focus on the prediction.

845
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,280
Speaker 2: Uh I will say Jefferson is just a big loss

846
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 2: as you as you know, as much as I despise

847
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 2: the Bears and just Jake's general attitude, uh, I do

848
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 2: think the home field. I think some of the stuff

849
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 2: he said is true. I want you guys to sign

850
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 2: Kirk making real concrete, please, please please. The grown ups

851
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 2: are talking. Go play in the little playroom, Go put

852
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 2: your toys in the little chest, and then you can

853
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 2: have some you know, you can have a little pudding

854
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,839
Speaker 2: your feed. Kids putting right, I think that the it's

855
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 2: not going to be a high scoring game, so I

856
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 2: would guess that again. Divisional game, I would think probably

857
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 2: the Bears by around three. I would go somewhere around

858
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 2: the like twenty seventeen zone, probably something like that.

859
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 1: I think those are both reasonable predictions. Thank you, guys,

860
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: means a lot that you did the show.

861
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 2: Well. I'm going to close with it.

862
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 1: I just don't want to be I don't want anyone

863
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: to respond that's not I'm not interested in that, I'm

864
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: gonna go with Thank you, guys, you're fantastic. I we

865
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:44,919
Speaker 1: really had a nice time.

866
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 2: Thank you. I'm good.

867
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,439
Speaker 1: I think the Vikings defense is going to come to play,

868
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 1: so I think it'll probably be Bears fourteen Vikings one

869
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty eight. I enjoy both of your personalities.

870
00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:01,840
