27
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 2: Recket Reckett, I'm here.

28
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: Joining us to discuss this week's opponent, the San Francisco

29
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. We have the great Al Madrigal and

30
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: David Huntsberger. Guys, I think there's an easy place to

31
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: start here, and I think we can all just take

32
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: a moment and enjoy not just that you beat our

33
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: common enemy Aaron Rodgers once again this past Monday. But

34
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: there was this specific moment in the first half where

35
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: he threw a dart and then he had that grin

36
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: on his face kind of like I'm a cowboy that

37
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: still knows how to ride like the little wink, and

38
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: then he was terrible like and then you guys just

39
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: whooped him the rest of the game. That was a

40
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: nice for me as an outside observer. I really enjoyed

41
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: what happened on Monday.

42
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 3: He threw that amazing pass to Gear Wilson's that we

43
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 3: were talking about what a receiver to have. I mean,

44
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 3: it was just in the perfect spot in his hands,

45
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 3: and that was an incredible throat. He's forty years old.

46
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 3: You can't expect to keep it going for that long.

47
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: And I just hope he doesn't.

48
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 4: I did, yeah, same, I hope it eventually ends where

49
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 4: it's like a character in a show where you're just

50
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 4: kind of like, all right, you've run your course, Like

51
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 4: kill his character off. Don't kill him, but just have

52
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 4: him leave this entertainment world of NFL football where he

53
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 4: seems to grab a lot a lot of gravity. People

54
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 4: seem to care what he's saying in that throw, and

55
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 4: that I was at the games, he might not have

56
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 4: seen his little smirk to the camera like.

57
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 2: Boy, I still got it.

58
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 4: It just was a very likew like you were saying,

59
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 4: like a gunfighter, I can still hit that nickel. And

60
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 4: then the end of the game fourth and one, you

61
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 4: gotta have it behind him low away. No one brings

62
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 4: out that it was a terrible throw. They were like, oh,

63
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 4: the dB got there a half shade early. It was

64
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 4: a horrible throw. The tailor Tyro Taylor made the exact

65
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 4: same throw. At the end of the game, I gets

66
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 4: the same dB on the same route touchdown. It was

67
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 4: the right place to put it, And that was a

68
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 4: microcosm of like Rogers was it two or three years

69
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 4: ago with the Packers has this amazing comeback.

70
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: Leads to a field goal. He's skipping down the field

71
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: after big throws.

72
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 4: He's laughing as he goes to the sideline, skip ahead

73
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 4: to the playoffs, just absolutely crushed, just on the sideline, disheveled, sad,

74
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 4: s dour. That's the Aaron Rodgers experience. When it doesn't

75
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 4: really matter that much, he's smirking and winking it up,

76
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 4: and when it does matter, he's he's sad.

77
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: It does have that vibe of how come I'm watching

78
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: Ed Helms be the boss for the third straight season.

79
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: That's what it feels like to me watching Aaron Rodgers

80
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: trot out for the Jets. I'll tell you this, I'm

81
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: not a big like talker. Even as I was growing

82
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: up and I was becoming a huge sports fan and

83
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: you guys were dominating, there was something cool about San Francisco,

84
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: Jerry Rice, Joe Montana, and Steve Young. So I've never had,

85
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: despite your success, any animosity towards the Niners.

86
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 3: I think we both I mean and I like the Vikings,

87
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 3: you know, even though they're in there's there's certain teams

88
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 3: and I've been to the stadium and been to Minnesota,

89
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 3: you know quite a bit for stand out. Everyone's cool.

90
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 3: It's it's it's you're you guys are hard to dislike.

91
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 3: To tell you the truths.

92
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: You spend a little time with us is what it takes.

93
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 3: It's it's been interesting. Yeah. I did a bunch of

94
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 3: daily show stuff when we were in Minneapolis, and it's

95
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 3: just it's unlike anything else. It's just shocking. It's like

96
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 3: such a culture shock for me to go there because

97
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 3: I remember being in McDonald's and I was driving tanks

98
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,559
Speaker 3: in Like I want to say, Cassoda is that away.

99
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: There's a lot of Oda's, so it's got to be

100
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: a place.

101
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 3: Yeah and soda and there's a place where you can

102
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 3: ride around with a chicken a bikini while you're driving

103
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 3: a tank. And then I took that rush to Saturn's.

104
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 3: I think the piece is called tanks for the memories

105
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 3: and because we don't need tanks, but we still make

106
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 3: a bunch of tanks. It's the United States government just

107
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 3: makes a bunch of tanks, but they're useless and they're

108
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 3: just sitting in a field somewhere. So I got to

109
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 3: drive in this tank. It was amazing. But I went

110
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: to McDonald's before. And when you walk into and Huntsburg,

111
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 3: you sis, when you're traveling, when you walk into a

112
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 3: McDonald's in Minnesota and it is a one Caucasian staff,

113
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 3: you like check the door, make sure that like time has.

114
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: You're not a Jordan Peele Moody all of a sudden.

115
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like you walk in because in Los Angeles, anywhere

116
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 3: in California, where Texas, most places it's like it is

117
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 3: one Latina, like pretty much like they have a Latina workforce.

118
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 3: And I walk in there and I go, yeah, could

119
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 3: I get a two sausage make griddles? And then the

120
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 3: lady goes, uh, oh, sure, that's a great choice. You're

121
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 3: gonna love the burst of pancake flavy. I'm like, what

122
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 3: is happening? This is insane. I couldn't believe. We're like yeah,

123
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 3: but yeah, it's hard hard people not to like.

124
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: Let me let you in a little secret. Alice, one

125
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: of those Minnesota whites who has been no exaggeration fired

126
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: from the same McDonald's three different times. Whatever you think

127
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: you see whatever, Like, we're fine, we're having a nice time. Man,

128
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: we just really are gonna we're gonna take that home

129
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: with us. We're gonna remember your face and we're not

130
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna probably not even let it out on our deathbed.

131
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: I've learned in the last few years, each fan base

132
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: has its own like truly its own personality. Like I've

133
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: always said, Packer fans are so fascinating because they're like

134
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: a trust fund kid who thinks the world is out

135
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: to get them, that thinks they have like a raw deal.

136
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: They're like the NFL hates us, You the guy who

137
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: the trophy is named after. I don't think that's right

138
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: at all.

139
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous.

140
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: Minnesota, is you know the the Browns are the true

141
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: Charlie Brown. We think we're Charlie Brown, but we're so

142
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: desperate to win that we're always grabbing on to hope.

143
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: So there's something about our psychology where we're not gonna

144
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: go to a place where a teams won a bunch

145
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: of titles and had Joe Montana and Jerry Rice and

146
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: pop up off back. I'm worried the moment we get

147
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: that first title. If you try to hackle some of us,

148
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Oh I was.

149
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 3: It was in the stadium. I think I'm when it

150
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 3: was a season opener about six years ago. I want

151
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 3: to say it was the Niners, and I went to

152
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 3: that game, went to Murray's the night before, hung out

153
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 3: with all the San Francisco Beat reporters, got blind drunk,

154
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 3: and then we go into tailgate Minnesota Vikings. Tailgate took

155
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 3: us in immediately, No, you know you're wearing the wrong

156
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 3: you know nothing, just like took us in. And then

157
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 3: I was at the game without incident, and just at

158
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 3: the end of the game, there's a drunk guy just

159
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 3: looked at me and he goes yah, and oh there

160
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 3: you go. All right, fine, here are you? Thank God

161
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 3: it's not a game somebody has called me.

162
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: David came to the Niners Vikings game last year with

163
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: Chad Daniels and Kelsey Cook and they he got a

164
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: first class seat to an overflow of San Francisco emotions

165
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: with a bunch of outrageously overly polite Viking things.

166
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's how I would describe it.

167
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 4: It was roughly that I was to my left was

168
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 4: I would say there were six total people. One of

169
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 4: them or maybe two or three. The two or three

170
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 4: behind me to the left were quiet Vikings fans. The

171
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 4: kid right next to me was he was one of

172
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 4: those people that's an absolute nightmare to be next to.

173
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 4: He would say to me, I'm so sorry, it's my

174
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 4: first game, and I'd be like, yeah, but you don't

175
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 4: have to be like this. But he was just up

176
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 4: every second and with his arms out, so I watched

177
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 4: most of the game through his elbow. He's like sweating on,

178
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 4: he's got a shirt off. They eventually kicked him out

179
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 4: at the end of the game. And all these nice

180
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 4: Minnesota fans are around us, and behind us are four

181
00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 4: or five terrible Niners fans, So that hurt. One of

182
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 4: this group was really representing football in general great. And

183
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 4: it's one of those games you go to You're like,

184
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 4: I don't like being in public. I don't want to

185
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 4: be around people. This is so miserable. And yet I'm

186
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 4: looking out the whole stadium and I'm really squinting and like,

187
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 4: this is the only situation like this. It is fifty

188
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 4: thousand nice people and this lunatic next to me. It

189
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 4: was so unfair. And then he got caught vaping and

190
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 4: that was so minor. That was maybe in the second

191
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 4: or third quarter.

192
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: Stadium. I didn't seem vapy.

193
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 2: Get it.

194
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: Get it.

195
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 4: They make him walk it down and toss it down

196
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 4: like near the mascot and the cheerleaders, and he goes

197
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 4: back to his seat and he continues to just be

198
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 4: a sports fan and he's doing nothing. That's like he's

199
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 4: being a little vulgar. And you know, there's kids around seven.

200
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 4: He's yelling some some gnarly stuff.

201
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 3: We're like, all right, it's the early lines. One of

202
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,719
Speaker 3: the Larry David's early lines from Kurby Your Enthusiassm is

203
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 3: that I find your exuberance a little overwhelked.

204
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that is.

205
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 4: If I could have just said that to him quietly,

206
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 4: he would have spitting all for me, waking up tequila.

207
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: Oh no, bro, but it's my first game.

208
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 4: I gotta back up on his feet, elbow in my face.

209
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 4: And then like mid early mid fourth quarter, they just

210
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 4: come and like grab him, like you're done. It would

211
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 4: have taken one fan Vikings or otherwise to go. He's okay,

212
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 4: and everyone's politely stared ahead.

213
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: Like, honestly, what's happening here? I don't know what.

214
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 4: No one got his back and not really said a

215
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 4: lot about how everyone felt about him, because it did

216
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 4: feel like, I don't know if this is enough to

217
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,239
Speaker 4: get kicked out. It's annoying. I don't like this experience,

218
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 4: but he paid to get here.

219
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 3: When I go to opposing team stadium, I am extremely respectful.

220
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 3: I will not stand up and celebrate. I put fist

221
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 3: bump my buddy sitting down next to me. I'm not.

222
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 3: There's no audible take that I'm not. There's zero opposite

223
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 3: a tomp, the utmost respect for I'm in your house

224
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 3: because I hate it when people Because I've been going

225
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 3: to the Niner game since i was five years old,

226
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 3: and I've been to a endless games of Candlestick. We

227
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 3: sat in a pretty rough section. I had blood on

228
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 3: my handrailed for a long time, and I used to

229
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 3: escort my father out when he was a little old man.

230
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 3: If we played the Raiders in a preseason game, look

231
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 3: up news articles from forty nine Ers Raiders preseason Candlestick.

232
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 3: It was like a sporting event in the movie Predator too.

233
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 3: I got the mowing guys smashing the dude's head against

234
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 3: the sink. Somebody die.

235
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, they had to discontinue that series because of that.

236
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't have that game.

237
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: It was one of the it does that, one of

238
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: those games where people were all just like, we're gonna

239
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: go there and fight. That's what we're that's what you're saying.

240
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like our gang versus your gang, and it's brutal.

241
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 3: It's this Bay Area. You know, the Niners got labeled

242
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 3: wine and cheese fans a long time ago, which is

243
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 3: hilarious because we're incredibly violent and it's upsetting wasted people.

244
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 3: I mean, I was in the parking lot for this Jets.

245
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 3: I went to the Jets Niners game, and it is

246
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 3: rowdy that the Niners who are actually trying to organize

247
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 3: all the tailgaing and restrict people from parking together. You

248
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 3: have to be ushered to your spot. And meanwhile in

249
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 3: Buffalo they're like jumping off roots on the folding tables

250
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 3: and we're like, they're trying to restrict it because people

251
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 3: just go huge and then get into the game and

252
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 3: they're wasted.

253
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: Do you let me ask you this because I know

254
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: both you guys have been around. So we have a

255
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: mutual friend, Scott Kegley, who was at the Niners, who

256
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: organized some some of the events that you guys I

257
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 1: think took part in a long time ago. He was

258
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: a Viking employee for a while. And I have now

259
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: they have made the mistake of letting me be around

260
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: the team for a few years, and I don't handle

261
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: it well. Al, you have not only gotten to be

262
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: around the team, you have gained access to being in

263
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: front of your owner and other own Like I want

264
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: you to tell me about that, because I don't know

265
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: that a lot of people know about that. But also

266
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated. There's no way I survive that. There's no

267
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: way I handle it like an adult. Every time I

268
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: go to a game on Sunday to work, Like when

269
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: I had to get Chad and David onto the field,

270
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm walking through the field being like, just don't just

271
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: don't go out there and snag a pass, Like I'm

272
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: I have to talk myself through being close to stuff

273
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: because I'm a maniac.

274
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm as a lifelong fan. This is a huge

275
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 3: dream of mine. But I got the cole and Huntsburg

276
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 3: who was there when this was happening, because we met

277
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 3: probably in two thousand and six or seven, maybe sounds Dave.

278
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 3: When you look over my house and you can I

279
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 3: bring my buddy who's a Packer fan. What did I say?

280
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 4: I think I just wanted to sit there quietly, and

281
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 4: you're like, I can't have a Packer fan in my house.

282
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 4: And I was like, I like this guy. I really

283
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 4: respected that. Like, I'll, you know, test that line. Oh, yeah,

284
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 4: everyone's welcome.

285
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 3: I didn't say everyone was welcome.

286
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 4: I didn't know you. So I'm like, hey, man, my

287
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 4: buddy lives in the area. He wants to watch the game,

288
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 4: and you're like, can't have them in my house?

289
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 2: Like I like that. And then we went.

290
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 4: I took another buddy of mine who also was a

291
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,119
Speaker 4: fan of a different team. We go to a tailgate

292
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 4: with your whole family, but you weren't there that time,

293
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 4: and my buddy Jake shows up.

294
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 3: Oh, a giant in a.

295
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 4: Giant skier and your family as if they had like

296
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 4: they just have this ready for anyone. In that moment,

297
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 4: he reaches into the cooler grab they go no, no, no, man,

298
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 4: this is for you. They opened a different cooler and

299
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 4: hand him like a Mickey's or like a cold forty five,

300
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 4: so really rough at ten am.

301
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 2: It was so great.

302
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's why I was so amazing. When you

303
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 3: go to Minnesota, everyone's like super nice handing you like

304
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 3: their regular beers, like we had, like like no, you

305
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 3: only drink Mickeys.

306
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 2: I like that though.

307
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 4: I think it adds to if you're gonna buy into

308
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 4: this whole, like camaraderie and community and like you know,

309
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 4: then soccer, they were the scarves and they go beat

310
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 4: people up in alleys over like a game where you

311
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,359
Speaker 4: can't use your hands.

312
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 2: Go full tilt. They'll get into it.

313
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 3: Used the speed roast people when they would walk by

314
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 3: because we were in our tailgate spot, wasn't it. We're

315
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 3: near an entrance, so people just walk through us. And

316
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 3: I remember this guy walks by with the Donovan McNab

317
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 3: jersey next to a guy in a Jeff Garcia jersey,

318
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 3: and they were buddied.

319
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 2: You know.

320
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 3: I hate like two friends who were oh, we're friends

321
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 3: with the opposing team. They walk in together and I

322
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 3: remember like five plus five equals get out, like just

323
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 3: ripping on everybody as they walk by. My brother had

324
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 3: a blue Healer, one of those Australian shepherd dogs, like

325
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 3: a hunting dog. Yeah, at the tailgate, So we would

326
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 3: seek the dog on people he could, he could, that

327
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 3: dog would bite on command because they're so smart, and

328
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 3: so he would just would send them to attack people. Yeah,

329
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 3: we were horrible anyway.

330
00:16:58,360 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: It's a really reasonable response.

331
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, attack them. But that guy, this guyt Elway Jersey,

332
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 3: just wants to get into the game. This is a

333
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,479
Speaker 3: bit by a dog on the way and guys drinking

334
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 3: country club liquor. All right. I get a phone call

335
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 3: from our friend Steve Simone. He's like my buddy from

336
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 3: the Eagles, and I guess he was at the Chiefs before.

337
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 3: This great guy Rob Alvarna, Rob has Me, Dave Dan

338
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 3: Soder who's hilarious, and Dan and Tommy John Agan do

339
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 3: these pieces for Levi Stadium, like telling people how to

340
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 3: be fans, because when you switch stadiums, all these new

341
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,719
Speaker 3: people show up with the seat licenses and you're like, hey, morons,

342
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 3: don't scream on offense. When we're on offense, you shut up.

343
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 3: So we made a bunch of instructional videos for people

344
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 3: that are going to be going to the stadium when

345
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 3: we're on defense, you scream.

346
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 2: Which to go to the like size thing. Oh we're

347
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 2: fan base.

348
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 4: We could this pageantry, this this legacy of five Super Bowls,

349
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 4: Like it's always turnover. There's always new people that show up, like, oh,

350
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 4: we got these new seats, what do we do? They's

351
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 4: screaming on third down. So yeah, we had to make

352
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 4: these like educational videos, like stop being idiots at the stadium.

353
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 4: You're ruining the experience.

354
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 3: So we make a bunch of those. Then I get

355
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 3: the nod to roast Trent Balki on his fiftieth birthday

356
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 3: party up at some San Jose Silver Creek country Club

357
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 3: and Jed York is there. My opening line murders and

358
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 3: but Keena Turner is there. Tom Rathman is there. I

359
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 3: had jokes for scouts. Doug Wilson, the GM of the

360
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 3: San Jose Sharks, is famous Chicago Blackhawk is in the

361
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 3: audience because he's friends with Trent, and so I knew

362
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 3: who was going to be there and just killed. I

363
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 3: knew that Trent was fighting with Jim Harbaugh at the time. So,

364
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 3: and this is a long time ago. My opening joke was, hey, ready,

365
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 3: before we start, a couple of announcements. Jim Harbaugh cannot

366
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 3: be here tonight. He's on a Disney cruise with his family,

367
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 3: where I have it on good authority that he's already

368
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 3: made Goofy cry twice. And he tried to sign Peter

369
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 3: Pan as a four string quarterback, which is ridiculous because

370
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 3: we already have Colt McCoy. How many Peter Pans do

371
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 3: we need? And we were like, oh, Trent Dilford just goes,

372
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 3: oh whoa okay, Like they just loved it. They were

373
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 3: in and I might jokes for I did an impression

374
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 3: of Trent Balki, which I don't think I can pull

375
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 3: off right now. Or oh yeah, it's like doings macho man.

376
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 2: No, it's more like super Daily. Here's the thing. You

377
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 2: gotta bring it down here, real wreck.

378
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 3: If he'd answer his own questions, didn't you give me this?

379
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 3: He would answer his questions. Yeah.

380
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 4: Everything was phrased with a question. And so I was

381
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 4: a big fan of things like will you marry me?

382
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 2: That's a great question. You could say yes, you could

383
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 2: say no, like.

384
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 4: He would never ever ever, like, hey, is this kid

385
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 4: that you got in the fifth round?

386
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 2: You like him? Could he be a star? Absolutely does

387
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 2: he have some health concerns.

388
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, he might so had jokes for Jed York. I

389
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 3: go Jed, let's hear for Jed York. Jed went to

390
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 3: Notre Dame. One of my mom owns a football team, scholarship. Congratulations,

391
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 3: I'm being the most successful guy named Jed the second

392
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 3: up as a meth dealer and friends.

393
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 4: Now this is like shortly before they started flying a

394
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 4: plane above the stadium saying fire. Jed and and our

395
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 4: lifelong family had the best advice. Is just like I

396
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,199
Speaker 4: think from either your dad or your grandfather, was like,

397
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 4: it just goes on and on. You're gonna see this,

398
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 4: You're gonna see the highs. Just hang in there because

399
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 4: people were like turning their backs toward the owner, toward everyone,

400
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 4: and I'll just like stay true to the organization. And

401
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 4: I feel like that was so smart and hard for

402
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 4: a lot of people to do.

403
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 3: I knew he wanted to win. I knew the guy

404
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 3: wanted to win.

405
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: So it's like, did you feel like was it one

406
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: of those things when you when you went in with

407
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 1: the jokes and you start crushing immediately. Because there's there's

408
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: two things that can happen when sports and comedy get together,

409
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 1: either the greatest thing in the world happens or the

410
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: worst thing in the world happens, and you find you

411
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: have experiences, you find out pretty cool. So the moment

412
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: you did you feel from that first joke, they just

413
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 1: like Bulky was in. They all got it, and then you.

414
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 3: Just they loved me. I was riffing like a bunch

415
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 3: of trance friends from Minnesota because he's up near Benjamin orje.

416
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: Bemidgi, let's call it that. It's definitely Bemidgie. But I

417
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: love but Jimmy.

418
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 3: But Jimmy, the Miidgie just too north for me. I'm

419
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 3: looking more in Brain or round Lake.

420
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 2: So you're like, I won't see him for months, Like

421
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 2: what are you up to?

422
00:21:58,520 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: Man?

423
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 4: He's like, I have this property, app where's this? And

424
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 4: then you know my partner is from Minnesota. She's like, oh,

425
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 4: there's nothing around there.

426
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: To everyone listening, Al is seriously looking at property in

427
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 1: Minnesota from time to time.

428
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 2: He's like, it's a compound.

429
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 4: So I think it was bikers that got seized by

430
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 4: the ATF, but the compounds for sale.

431
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 3: I find so many lakefront hotels that me and like

432
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 3: me and a bunch of my comedy writer friends are like, okay,

433
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 3: there's eight of us. There's an eight cab, so.

434
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: This is it.

435
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 3: We have fresh water, we're gonna put solar. Like, yeah,

436
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 3: we're just idiots. So anyway, I kill I'm riffing a

437
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 3: bunch of his friends from the Meggie did it?

438
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: That one was good?

439
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 3: The Meggie are there and I go there laughing at

440
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 3: Jed's expense, and I go, don't laugh at Jed's expense.

441
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 3: He'll his family will buy a mall near where you

442
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 3: live and shut it down, just because that's only you

443
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 3: can from like mall money. The Yorks were the first

444
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 3: guys to the Bartolows were from Canton and Youngstown and

445
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 3: then all, yeah, it's like a mall family like his.

446
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 3: I think his grandfather had, like they invented the malls.

447
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 3: They had all money. So then I get a couple

448
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 3: other gigs from them. I roast the owners before Super

449
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 3: Bowl fifty, all the owners, all the owners, which is insane,

450
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 3: that's wild. This is the lineup Jeremy Renner, me, Steve

451
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 3: miller Band and I'm sitting with Robert Kraft and his

452
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 3: like forty year old girlfriend that I'm sitting next to

453
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 3: the CEO of PEPSI. And then I also have less

454
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 3: Membez and Julie Chan at my table. And then Robert

455
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,479
Speaker 3: Kraft's bodyguard is next to me, and I look at

456
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 3: him and I go, hey, can I run some jokes

457
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 3: by real quick? I go, I was gonna open up

458
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 3: three minutes. I was gonna talk about my kids. And

00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:06,959
Speaker 3: he goes me. He goes, can I be honest with you?

460
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 3: And I go, yeah, sure, he goes, no one wants

461
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 3: to hear about your kids? And good, all right. So

462
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 3: Jeremy Renner goes up kind of eats it, but he's

463
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 3: the coolest dude ever. I mean he's like, you know,

464
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,479
Speaker 3: it's and then but Indur and Yugi, the CEO of PEPSI,

465
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 3: looks at me and goes, who is he and why

466
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 3: is he talking? I go, he's an avenger, hurt locker, nothing.

467
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 3: And then I go up. But we're in San Francisco

468
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 3: City Hall. It's like this huge rotunda. Instead, I go

469
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 3: up and I lest move. Vez goes talking to the microphone.

470
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 3: You know, I know, like to this. Acoustics are terrible,

471
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 3: so I just eat it. I get heckled by Jerry Jones.

472
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 3: All the jokes are good, but they're all there and

473
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 3: it was summed up like bon Jovi is behind me

474
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 3: in a horrible seat. The kids from Vandos family, those

475
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 3: kids come running up the guy in his fiance and

476
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 3: they go, oh my god, that was hilarious. We to

477
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 3: the comedy store all the time with La Joya. They go,

478
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 3: you understand though, why we couldn't laugh audibly though? Right?

479
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 3: Because I had great jokes. I curated a bunch of stuff,

480
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 3: like I pulled in the A team for this, I

481
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 3: go would and they just only laughed at the stuff

482
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 3: that where the people weren't there.

483
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: Oh sure, yeah, that's gotta that's gotta be an interesting

484
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: vibe because I mean, I would assume the competitive nature

485
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 1: of those people who've achieved that level of family or

486
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 1: individual success, like there's there's just this like wall up

487
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: where you're not gonna let yourself be like, thank you,

488
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 1: I am Jerry Jones. And that was a funny joke

489
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: at my expense.

490
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 3: No nothing, nothing. They can't believe that someone's talk back

491
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 3: to him like Arthur Blank, the guy who's said home Depot,

492
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,719
Speaker 3: I go, you look like a mask that Johnny Manzelawar

493
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 3: is in Vegas, you know, you even look real. And

494
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 3: those were all the safe ones, like they cut a ton,

495
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 3: So anyway we do that. Then I did the players

496
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 3: when the during COVID with Dan Soder we had a

497
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,719
Speaker 3: great time and uh, you know you're doing Bosa jokes

498
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 3: in front of Nick Bosa.

499
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: And he said, the players really dumb.

500
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 3: They did. But like I got everybody, like some great

501
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 3: ones like John Lynch. John Lynch always looks like he

502
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 3: just got yelling. They got through yelling at his wife

503
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 3: about where she put his good khakis. And it's all

504
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 3: just like your connections to this team are surreal. I mean,

505
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 3: my dad used to stand outside Candlestick and collect little

506
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 3: like five x seven black and white things that they

507
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 3: would hand out through the press and he'd wait for

508
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 3: them to be signed. So I have a bunch of

509
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 3: stuff behind me that says to Alan Ray, you know

510
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 3: my my brother, Like I have a rookie Jill Montana

511
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 3: that says to Alan's crazy. So like, to get this

512
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 3: close to your organization has been amazing. And I fly

513
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 3: up for pretty much every game. Huntsberger and people come

514
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 3: over to my house. We have a great collection. I

515
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 3: get this little textrad called La Niner Game and then

516
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 3: Dave Huntsberger might be the most knowledgeable fan that I know,

517
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 3: so it's like having a satistician call.

518
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,239
Speaker 1: Yet afterwards, the reason I like talking to Dave and

519
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: so and Dave gave birth to my favorite football theory

520
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: that I have pushed out as my own ever since.

521
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: You were the first person, Dave to tell me this idea, like,

522
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: somebody someday is going to draft a rookie quarterback, play them,

523
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: take advantage of their rookie deal, and when they're not

524
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 1: a superstar, when they're in that mid tier seven to

525
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 1: fifteenth best quarterback and think they're gonna go. I don't

526
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: care how much pressure there is to have a decent quarterback.

527
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna draft another one. I'm gonna start over, and

528
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep doing it. And the only way I'm

529
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: gonna stop is I have a Hall of Famer And

530
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: I've thought about that ever since. I think it's still coming.

531
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: I'm not convinced it's not coming with your team, but

532
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: somebody is gonna do that at some point. And yeah,

533
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 1: talking to you, Dave about football, I basically listen and

534
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: then use your takes elsewhere.

535
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 4: Well, thanks, fellas. I don't like how invested.

536
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 2: I have been.

537
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 4: I've been peeling back a little bit from like because

538
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 4: going to the facility and you're where I wasn't in

539
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 4: a jersey, luckily, but I have like a polo that's

540
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 4: in al has one too, like the old Bill Walsh style,

541
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 4: with like the logo. We've hand put them on these

542
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 4: polo shirts. I feel like I started this craze and

543
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 4: I'm sitting there essentially a handmade shirt. And then you

544
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 4: have like twenty five year olds who are huge coming

545
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 4: out of the weight room and taketos what's up, bro?

546
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,239
Speaker 4: And You're like, I made this shirt and I've been

547
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 4: a fan of the team. You just feel so odd

548
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 4: being in their presence, Like I shouldn't be this invested in,

549
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 4: like this person, this is just their job. And yet

550
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 4: when when the Niners drafted George Kittle in the fifth round,

551
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 4: you know who announced his name, our friend All Madrigal.

552
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,719
Speaker 4: So I'm like digging deep on this tight end who

553
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 4: didn't play a lot at Iowa and had some injury concerns,

554
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,479
Speaker 4: was a bit undersized, but I'm like studying the footage.

555
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, man, if.

556
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,239
Speaker 4: Things go right, they might be playing you saying that

557
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 4: when he's inducted into the Hall of Fame, and damn it,

558
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 4: he's on that track.

559
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty cool.

560
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 3: I just wish I had that one back though, because

561
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,959
Speaker 3: I had this old man. If you dig up this footage,

562
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 3: I had this old man, and they made me do

563
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 3: it with two super fans, and I have this old

564
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 3: guy in the green room, non stump giving me the business.

565
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 3: So he just when he goes, you're a comedian, tell

566
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 3: me joke. Tell me joke, comedian, Tell me a joke, comedian, Hey, comedian,

567
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 3: tell me a joke. You're not funny? Are you funny?

568
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 3: Are you even a funny comedian? And I'm just quiet,

569
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 3: being super polite, and I just think to myself after

570
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 3: he says it, like the fourth time ago, I'm getting

571
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 3: this guy live on air, and he was being such

572
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 3: a I just made a comment about his breath while

573
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 3: we were I was doing the pick. I go next

574
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 3: to me is whatever his name was, and I go,

575
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 3: whose breath is as hot as it is stinky? And

576
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,959
Speaker 3: he goes really, and I go, yeah, it's a problem,

577
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 3: and you need to all right, lead's showing this pick.

578
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 3: He's a fifth rounder from Iowa.

579
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: Nothing like nothing like letting pettiness and anger ruin an

580
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: all time moment for a kid who sat outside the stadium.

581
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 3: I've talked to him about it. I don't think he

582
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 3: likes it. I mean because he also said he's like

583
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 3: you look down when I did tell him, and I'm like, yeah,

584
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 3: they just handed it to me. What do you figuring?

585
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: Like?

586
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 3: Good?

587
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: Memorize it and the nunciation on your way out?

588
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 4: What a what a lunatic anyone on earth would have?

589
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 4: I mean, I know Kittle believes in himself, but anyone

590
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 4: and during that draft twenty seventeen that would have gotten

591
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 4: that card?

592
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,479
Speaker 2: Oh hell yeah, George Kittle, the thirst rate guy from Iowa.

593
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, look out everybody. I guars you no one

594
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 2: outside of Iowa knew his name.

595
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, well you iss you. He said, it's like lazy gentleman,

596
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 3: future Hall of Famer and total badass. You say that,

597
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 3: then they'll use it, then they'll play. Now you don't, like,

598
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 3: I have a lifetime but regret.

599
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: For commenting on an old man's hot breath. Yeah, I've

600
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: gone the other way with it, Dave, because I think

601
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: I'm also super fan lunatic. But you get that close

602
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: to it and you go oh, I need to peel

603
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: back because you feel yourself going over kind of a ledge.

604
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: But uh, I'm I've decided I'm going like I'm I'm

605
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: a grown up enough to control my actions, and so

606
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: I've decided to let myself go over the edge because

607
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you right now for the Vikings, this

608
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: new thing and I don't know what's gonna happen. Everybody's like,

609
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: now you're gonna get a real test. I didn't even

610
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: go into this season like with an amount of games

611
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: we need to do in Kirk's in Atlanta. We've got young

612
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: players and free agents all look like there's a couple

613
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: I know you guys had to have felt this at

614
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: one point before you entered this era, but there's a

615
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: couple guys on our team. Jordan Addison who had that

616
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: stole that interception last year. Dallas Turner, who I have

617
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: no idea how he fell to seventeen this ivan pace, dude,

618
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: there's a few guys on this team. It's not unreasonable

619
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: that they jump up and are really really good. And

620
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: if they do that and you have all this cap space, like,

621
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: I'm just in this moment where yeah, I want to

622
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: win the games but man, what a new after six

623
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: You had to have felt this after Harbaugh, after six

624
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: years of something that worked but didn't work. It's kind

625
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: of now an open future. So I'm pumped about this game,

626
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: but I'm not invested in the win and lost the

627
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: way everybody else is. I just want to see how

628
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: we stack up against a team that's been where you

629
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: guys have been the last couple of years.

630
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 4: Wait, I'm gonna head you off at the pass there,

631
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 4: because being at that game last year, that is my

632
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 4: least favorite thing about Viking Space, and I feel like

633
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 4: that's why all the kicks sailed outside the uprights. Don't

634
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 4: think the entire stadium sits there and goes, oh geez,

635
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 4: oh gosh.

636
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 2: I don't, don't you kind of aut I don't care

637
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 2: about the outcome. I just want to see how we

638
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 2: stack up. And no, no, I.

639
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,479
Speaker 1: Want to win the game. That's not what I'm doing.

640
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just saying I'm enjoying the season in

641
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: a different way than I have the last six years.

642
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 3: And what David was saying is that your complacency is

643
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 3: self fulfilling prophecy. You're getting there going oh geesuk, Like yeah,

644
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 3: they just got a real pancake flavor. Uh, and you're

645
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 3: you're doom.

646
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 4: You gotta just be relentlessly optimist. I mean al during

647
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 4: the the Chip Kelly year was like this, we got

648
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 4: him this week, This week we got we got Blaine

649
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:52,719
Speaker 4: Gabbert's gonna get him.

650
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 2: This week, we got him.

651
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 4: You have to be that you have. Yeah, like they

652
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 4: had good plays. Not every game is fifty to nothing

653
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 4: at halftime. They're always The NFL is so close. There's

654
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 4: so much parody that if your team loses.

655
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: I was an odd believer in Blaine Gabbert. I'm gonna

656
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: tell you that much. I had more faith in Blaine

657
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: Gabbert than most people ever.

658
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 3: Should he stuck around for a while. What about Donald,

659
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:18,240
Speaker 3: I'm so happy. Yeah, I think you know it would

660
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 3: probably I didn't watch. I knew there was talking preseason

661
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 3: about you guys starting the rookie, but.

662
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: I don't think it was ever real. I don't. I

663
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: think best case scenario for a guy like Kevin O'Connell

664
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:35,439
Speaker 1: would have been the team competes. And I mean JJ

665
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: McCarthy is so young. You just give him all the

666
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 1: reps in practice and you bring him along at the

667
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: right speed. And I gotta tell you, like the moment

668
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: that Donald went to you guys lasted the season and

669
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 1: didn't leave there with a bad reputation. He left there

670
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: with a people saying nice things about him. I was like, well,

671
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: this this is the guy. He made a throw on Sunday.

672
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: I don't think everybody's talking about enough. He dropped back

673
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 1: to about the two yard like this is when we

674
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: were backed up to the half yard line. We went

675
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 1: on a ninety nine yard touchdown run, but right drive,

676
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: but he dropped back. He threw this thirty forty yard

677
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: sideline out to Justin Jefferson. It looked simple, but Jefferson

678
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: did not He literally did not break stride and on

679
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: that throw the amount of times in the NFL where

680
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: there's not even a moment of speed up or slow down,

681
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 1: that's a pretty hard throw.

682
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

683
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: So I don't know what's going to happen when he

684
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: gets pushed off schedule and things get difficult. But I

685
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: like one week in I can confidently say like, well,

686
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: this guy can throw this out of the ball. He

687
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: really can.

688
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 3: That was a good pickup and I think, yeah, you

689
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 3: are going to see that with our situation, we have

690
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 3: to you know, we have the pretty contract coming up.

691
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 3: They've done a good job of managing cap space. I'm

692
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 3: not sure what happens to debo, but this is definitely

693
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 3: a year we were in a window.

694
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 1: To Hey, is that what it feels like? Does this

695
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: feel like after being in as far as you were

696
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: the last two years, do you feel like if it

697
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 1: doesn't happen, now, we're gonna have to re We're gonna

698
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 1: have to re up in some different way.

699
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,240
Speaker 3: I think as long as we have Purty, we're kind

700
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 3: of a good pretty and Shanahan and Lynch combo is

701
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 3: a pretty solid place to be, so I think we're

702
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 3: in spot. And then this kid on the offensive line, Poony,

703
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 3: that everyone was talking about.

704
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 4: He's gonna make the Pro Bowl. Yeah, I mean he's

705
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 4: They've been complaining about the oh line. Oh they didn't

706
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 4: invest in the old line. Oh man, they didn't take

707
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 4: someone in the first round. They did, and he's he's

708
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 4: so good. He fills a hole and like levels up

709
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 4: the whole right side of the offensive line. And those

710
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 4: are the things you have to do drafting, Like the

711
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 4: Trey Lance thing should have sunk them. And then they look,

712
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 4: you know, they they their personnel department. I think really

713
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 4: took it personal that, oh, it's not you guys. You know,

714
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 4: you don't get to make these draft picks. And like

715
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:58,479
Speaker 4: they've hit on so many late round guys like Hufunga

716
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 4: and uh basically the fifth round is like Diamador Lenoil. Yeah,

717
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 4: Kittle's a fifth round guy. They have a bunch of

718
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,399
Speaker 4: fifth round hits. DJ Reed, who is playing for the Jets,

719
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 4: who's really great one that.

720
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 3: Got Jennings the seventh rounder, you know, let's.

721
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 4: Say, seventh round guy. They got Jacob Cowing this year.

722
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 4: They have some dudes that are like coming up. What

723
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 4: you need to do? You need to fill the tub

724
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 4: if guys leave, and I think they're really well stocked

725
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 4: to do that. And to your point about like the quarterbacks,

726
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 4: you know they it makes a big You have banners

727
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 4: walking in of the quarterback and people go, oh, I'm

728
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 4: going to this like Disneyland essentially, and there's my hero

729
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 4: to welcome me. I see him on all the commercials

730
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 4: and he leads the late fourth quarter drives and that's

731
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 4: my guy. It makes a big deal if your franchise

732
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 4: has one of those guys, even if it's like a

733
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 4: Dak Prescott, who's not a real threat in the postseason,

734
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 4: but he is your team's Mickey Mouse.

735
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 2: It's important to get him on a banner.

736
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,280
Speaker 4: But I think when they win early on their rookie contract,

737
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 4: if you have like a prescribed thing, Hey, you were

738
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 4: all pro, you led the league in this and this

739
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 4: and this. Your contract looks like this homes deal. It's

740
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 4: like ten years, you've checked all the boxes. It's a

741
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 4: crazy amount of money. And then but they moved on

742
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 4: from Trey Lance, they moved on from Zach Wilson. They

743
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 4: move on from these quarterbacks so quickly now that I

744
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 4: think that's the reason is they're like, Okay, we found one.

745
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 4: We have Mickey Mouse on the banner. Now we need

746
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 4: to draft well and fill it up around him. So

747
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 4: I feel real optimistic that they they do that.

748
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,760
Speaker 1: They're doing that regardless of him coming into a bigger contract.

749
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: They've stocked because that's the thing. If you don't, you

750
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: can get by that thing where they go from making

751
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: no money to ten twelve percent of the salary cap.

752
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: But in those three four years that they're rookie, if

753
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: you don't stock the barrels, so you got a bunch

754
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,760
Speaker 1: of cheap guys who are studs around them. It becomes

755
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: real hard, real quick.

756
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 4: You don't have to hit on every draft pick. You

757
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 4: gotta hit like Poony just getting one. I think the

758
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 4: whole fan base like, hey, all right, got like a

759
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 4: guy who's like penciled in to be there for a

760
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 4: few years.

761
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 1: Dude, if you get a guy who becomes a stud

762
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: in not the first round, that feels like you won

763
00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: the draft. Yeah. I appreciated a ton guys, Thank you

764
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: so much for doing this. I hate to do this

765
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: for you, but I want predictions. That's that's the only

766
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: fun thing about the show. Actually, I feel like Al

767
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:10,879
Speaker 1: is gonna lean in and enjoy that part.

768
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 3: All right, I'm gonna say Niners thirty four twelve.

769
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was gonna say something along those lines too.

770
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 4: I think they know Donald. I think Donald didn't really

771
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 4: get to see Sorenson as the d guy he's got.

772
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 4: He saw Wilksaw last year and that scheme, so he

773
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 4: doesn't really know them the way that Vikings fans are

774
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,800
Speaker 4: hoping he does. I think the Niners new front four

775
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:33,359
Speaker 4: with like Elliott is like a beast. He really sure

776
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 4: things up next to Hardgrave that really freeze things up

777
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 4: for I think it's gonna be tough on Donald and

778
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 4: getting off schedule is gonna be He's good there though,

779
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:41,879
Speaker 4: so I think he can.

780
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 2: I think he'll make some amazing plays.

781
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 4: But I also think he'll have one or two we go, oh,

782
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 4: that's old Donald showing up, and that could be enough

783
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 4: to just tip it where it goes to me in

784
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 4: a close game to like two or three plus scores.

785
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 3: We scored on and they were field goals. We scored

786
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:59,760
Speaker 3: on eight possessions in a row. Yeah, it's the Jets,

787
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 3: who are we were a good defense.

788
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: So thirty four to twelve and two or three touchdowns.

789
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: So you're you're a.

790
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:11,840
