Speaker 1 (00:02):
Your if not now, when Leader Fan Fan Radio Network
and k f a N.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Dot Com two minutes and three seconds past the hour
of three o'clock Central Standard time, we welcome you back.
It is indeed a three hour tour edition for I
believe the third consecutive day of the Bumper to Bumper program.
Don't blame us, it's not load management. Golden Gophers are
in prime time tonight right here on the Fan. They

(00:43):
are facing the highly tooted Oregon Ducks, fresh off a
late victory on a late field goal over the Iowa Hawkeys.
Gophers Oregon Tonight pregame show will begin promptly at six
opening kickoff sometime past eight o'clock or so. Guardsy will

(01:08):
indeed check in from the Pacific Northwest with US at
about five point fifteen this evening, right before Lavelle e
Neil the Third joins the program. Ben Gesling is scheduled
for four thirty as another Friday Football Beast regular and
Gerby and the Picks at the bottom of this hour.
And as I had told Guardsy yesterday, I was pretty

(01:30):
sure I was zero and three.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
It's confirmed I am.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
I Well, if I carried, I don't carry change anymore.
If I carry change, I just do the old coin
flip and just I'll go at the flip rather than
me actually think thinking that I could make an educated
decision on each game. So I might try to find
some form of that before three thirty, because what I'm
doing now is not working very well. Brett Blakemore's in

(01:57):
that chair for the second consecutive day. Will you be
making the picks for guardsy or did he leave you
his picks?

Speaker 1 (02:05):
I'm free to my own device. That's very dangerous. Well,
I went one into last week, very dangerous for sure.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Bradshaw and Brian Kafan text line is open at six
four six eight six.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
What does this mean?

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Six one two Guy Wrights, Dan, will you be at
the Mall of America Sunday after Bears Vikings game to
see Tom Brady in person?

Speaker 1 (02:28):
What's that about? What does that mean? Is that a bit?

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Is that is Brady appearing at the mall? Doesn't he
have duties on Sunday? Or is that a callback to
when the Super Bowl was here? I don't know what
that means. I'm gonna need a little bit of help
on that. It's an inside joke. I'm guessing that I'm missing.
It wouldn't be the first, and might indeed not even
be the last.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
If not.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Now, when it's a cliche, we utter often on this program,
it's a mantra we leave in, and.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
I think it really does apply.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
I know people are sick of the host of this
program pounding away at the vikings reluctance. Let's be honest,
the head coach's reluctance, stubborn reluctance, occasionally bewildering reluctance. Hand
the damn ball off. But this is a litmus test

(03:34):
on Friday, I should say on Sunday. This is a
Today's Friday. Sunday noon is a litmus test. I looked
up the numbers. They're unofficial, but I think they're right.
The Chicago Bears, the Monsters of the Midway, ranked twenty

(03:56):
defensively against the run, ranked twenty fifth in terms of
yards per game. That can be a misleading stat depending
on the kinds of games you play. I get that,
but you know what, they're worse in yards per attempt.
They're twenty ninth in the league. They give up on

(04:17):
average five point two yards of carry. One of their
best run stoppers is not going to be available among
their linebackers as I understand it for this game.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
So this is it, boys and girls.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
If the head coach does not commit to a steady diet,
and yes, even on first and fifteen.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
It's not illegal to run on.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
First and fifteen, And anybody who tells you otherwise does
not know the game. Clearly you can do it. We
never do it. Better not to be in a first
and fifteen.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
I get that.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
But if he doesn't do it this week, he ain't
gonna do it that will have then we can just
put it to bed, and I pro you you'll never
hear another word another bit of whining for me on
the subject. I would just say the case is closed.
I've been right all along. He doesn't like the running game.
He doesn't enjoy it enough, he doesn't derive enough satisfaction

(05:16):
from it.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
This is the ultimate test.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
You've got a quarterback who, even if you love him,
I think even the most ardent mcbobo's out there would
say I love him. But right now you know he's
up and down. Let's get him some help. Let's see
if there's ways we can help him through all this stuff.

(05:43):
All the more reason I would argue whether it's McCarthy starting,
or Carson.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Wentz starting, or Sam Well.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Actually was Sam Darnold starting, he probably wouldn't have to
worry about the running game. But that's another story for
another time. You afraid you have two good running backs,
if you had no running backs, maybe you say, well,
I don't want to pound my head against the wall.
I got nothing at the position. They got something at
the position. They don't have Jamiir Gibbs at the position.

(06:15):
They don't have the kid for Atlanta at the position
from Atlanta for the position. But come on, so, I
really think that's what makes this especially interesting on Sunday
is that the Bears defensively against the run.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
Are not.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
The immovable object. They're quite movable on the ground. And
we saw that the Vikings is as recently as last week.
And by the way, here i'll give you another number
to pay attention to that you may or may not
have seen. Also unofficial, but I think accurate. Your favorite
football team ranks thirtieth in the National Football League in

(06:57):
rush attempts, thirtieth, even though in yards per attempt they're
twelfth in the league.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Now that's not top ten, that's not like top five.
But it ain't bad.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
We are averaging a full half yard more per attempt
than a year ago. And yet it's news when we
run the ball. It's news when we I don't think
we've ever run two three straight plays. I think occasionally
we've run two, but I don't think we ever run three.

(07:33):
You another stat, Top six teams in the National Football
League on rush just Russia attempts Buffalo, Seattle, Chicago, Detroit
and New England. That's five of the six. You know

(07:55):
what their combined record is, thirty four and thirteen. What
does that tell you? There's more than one way to win.
I'll grant you the point. You got to play your strengths,
but it tells you then look, I mean Buffalo have
a good quarterback, Seattle have a good quarterback this year.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah, how about to try good New England Drake May.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
It looks great, and all you hear about Drake May
is a great pass places and he makes them. But
what's left out is how do they compliment that or
how do they enhance what all those quarterbacks are able
to do effectively.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
They're not afraid to run the ball. Salisbury said it yesterday.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
There's even value, if even when you're averaging three yards
in an attempt, especially to play action kind of a situation.
So we've got the ultimate test about whether this this
head coach is truly ready to put his money where
his mouth is.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
He may be stubborn about it.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
He was defensive about it this week, and there may
be a part of him that then overcompensates and says,
bleep it. I don't care what people say we need
to do. Here's I went back also on a number
of our false starts on the first and fifteen false
starts where we it was on first down, first and

(09:24):
fifteen pass pass and the second pass was the pick
a pick first and fifteen pass pass pass first and
fifteen pass pass pass. All in completions on that drive
we had to settle for a field goal. The one
before that we completed one out of three didn't go anywhere.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
And the list goes on teams. You think you think
teams don't pay attention to these tendencies.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
You think teams don't say we can sell out. We
can sell out against a quarterback who's having some problems
as it is. We're gonna make it even harder for
him because we're gonna drop in coverage. They're not gonna
run here. Well take our chances that they're gonna run here.
How does that enhance a young quarterback's chance to derive,

(10:21):
to get the best out of what he might have
to offer. That's not good coaching, boys and girls. That's
not no matter how much you're saying, we got it.
You know what, training wheels off you gotta you gotta have.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
He's got to learn, gotta make plays.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
What a croc you learn by getting helped by your cue,
your your your head coach, your quarterback whisperer, mixing and matching.
That's how the best quarter you you do. You know
the idea that well, it almost sounds like, well, we
need him to fail a lot. You're not obligated to
make him fail more than he needs to. Even at

(10:55):
a point where he's young, erratic, and relatively inexperienced.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
You can actually help him along. So let's see.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
If the head coach can kind of figure the thing out.
By the way eight minutes said, I'm already tuning into
something else. Dan's faux rants and the vikings are older
than he is. First of all, seven to sixty three, guys,
stop lying, you're not tuning into something else. You're still

(11:28):
with us. You're not fooling me. I've been doing this
for over three decades. You're not going anywhere. You're still
with us. And I don't know if you're a relative
of KOC or you're a Vikings fan.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
Who does it?

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Who wants raw rah nonsense, You're not going to get
it here. It's not a full rant, it's factual. You
don't want to take it from me, Take it from
Sean Salisbury. Sean Salisbury loves KOC. He's confounded by this approach.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Again.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
All we're trying to do today is bring you up
to date with timely numbers having to do with the
next opponent. That's not a recycled rant. That's not going
over old news. It's actually putting fresh information on an
ongoing issue and saying here's a great chance, not a
good chance, a great chance to take advantage of a

(12:23):
weakness that the monsters of the Midway have shown. With
some injuries added in, that might even make the Bears
more vulnerable.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Now in a given game, could the Bear surprise?

Speaker 2 (12:36):
Yes, the Vikings defensive line did against the Lions. It
can still happen. You still got to play the game.
But all this stuff fits in and it hurts your feelings.
I'm sorry. I think most people understand it most In fact,
we're texting it.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
Absolutely do.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
But it's not I'm not repeating it because I enjoying it.
I'm repeating it because it continues to be a significant
story for this club. Even more so, I would argue
with McCarthy. Then Carson wentz look up the numbers. McCarthy's

(13:19):
production in terms of the old fashioned quarterback rating or
the newer QBR are historically bad. Doesn't mean that's the
end of it, but it means that's what this offense
is dealing with right now. All the more reason to
give yourself some other ways to keep possessions going. Get

(13:41):
an extra first down, get an extra second down, whatever
the case may be. This isn't difficult, This isn't complicated
at all. All right, let's do this. Let's pause. We
have bonus I think some bonus bucks to get too.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
Correct, and we do.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
The fan and two men in a junk truck want
to give you a shot to win those bonus bucks
at the National Cash Contest to kfan dot com. The
keyword grand for this hour, keyword grand kfan dot com
keyword grand. If you want to time to what's happening
with your favorite kfaan shows, plam you have already you
can make your voice heard on the brat Shawn Bryant
Kfan text line. Let us note you have to say

(14:15):
by texting your message at six four six eighty six
at six four six eighty six Stanner text message in
data rate supply.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
All right, so it's now confirmed.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
Lori Fisher Fox nine senior executive producer among those confirming
that the Card Vault by Tom Brady store Come is
coming to the mall. The hysteria and the grand opening
celebration is this Sunday, November sixteen at five pm. And

(14:47):
so apparently Brady's gonna be there. You're gonna hear from
Brady himself. So if he's got does he have like
a noon game and then he's this close by and
he's taking a lear Jet in, who knows? Is he
calling the Vices game? That's a good point. Could be yeah,
you're right, that's a Fox game. Very good point. Maybe
that's the answer. That probably is the answer. Charle Holm's

(15:08):
well done. So there you have it. By the way,
Lori Fisher rides heard over Guardsy and Me on a
TV show called Enough Said, which tonight will air on
Fox nine at approximately two am. Actually, I guess it
would be tomorrow morning two am because the Gophers are
on Fox nine tonight and a bunch of other stuff.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
So we're on very late.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
But I'm told that if you download the free, free
free Fox Local app like the Rhart Radio iHeart Radio app,
which is also free and easy to use, you can
actually watch tonight's episode of Enough Said. Now you can
also of course dv are it. And it was kind
of historic because Guardsy has got is on with us

(15:55):
live on location from Eugene, Oregon, where he is preparing
for gold and go over football duties Gophers and Oregon,
as we mentioned earlier tonight, So all that is available
to you Tom Brady, and it is indeed, I think
confirmed that Brady is on the call. So that makes
it easy for him. Just a limo ride, right or

(16:17):
would he still fly a leer Jet? No, that he
wouldn't get much, Well, it'd be closer, I guess if
he picked up the lear jet.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Can you get lear jets into Saint Paul?

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Maybe? Last mays for help Yeah, that's very power or
hell helicopter, Yeah, might do helicopter from the people stadium hosts.
It doesn't really matter. But there you there, you have it.
Lots of texts coming in quite a few. Is the
memorabilia game. I guess it's still big.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
It's not for me, but apparently is it still pretty
large business? Yeah, there's this is from six to five
to one guy. And I heard the same nonsense from
Glenn Mason when he was on Wednesday. But let me
address it real quickly. Six five one guy. Right, So
I find it rish though coming from you, when everyone,
including you, got on Gopher coaches for running too much.
Now let me I'm gonna try not to stutter, which

(17:08):
I do a lot, and be as clear as I
can on this. Both things can be true. A college
football coach could be running the ball too much, and
a professional football coach housed in the same metropolitan area
could be passing too much. One thing has nothing to

(17:32):
do with the other. Context is everything behavior from that
offensive court, those offensive coordinators are everything.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
So the idea that well, you can't have it both ways.
You're at you're.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
Yelling at this guy for running it too much. Or
yell at this guy for passing too much. If it applies,
it applies, And in the case of the Golphers, it
was we're so stubborn about the run that in games
where we're playing better opponents, we're not challenging them enough
offensively to really give us the best chance to win

(18:07):
some of those fifty to fifty games. Right And in
this case, again you look at it the other way
and say, when you factor in the particular context, which
is now a young quarterback who you love and you
think has a chance to be great, but needs a
lot of work and needs a lot of help, might
be a good idea to run the ball more or

(18:29):
run it more selectively at the right times. They and
again we all get it. One thing plays off of
the other. That's always been true. And you could say, well,
it's easy to say after the fact. We're not saying
it after the fact, we're saying it before games. I've
been warning people on this issue forever, and finally I
think many people have come around to the point of view.

(18:52):
It took a while, but they came around to it
and are noticing it more. It's standing out more now
because of the offensive issues a year ago. You know,
the offense was so good in terms of the passing
game that it was easier to gloss it over, even
though even then I think it would have been helpful
to occasionally use the running game. So the idea that

(19:14):
you're contradicting yourself, well, no, not if you watch the
Gophers then and not if you watch the Minnesota Vikings now.
Both things can be true. You can argue them both.
It's all debate, it's all you know, opinion. But the
idea that you're that you're somehow trying to have it
both ways has really nothing to do with it. If
you've been paying attention to wait to the way those

(19:35):
two programs, the Gophers at the college level and the
Vikings at the pro level, have been run, it's it's
really not that hard.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
I don't think I'll tell you what.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Let's stay on schedule because we've got a bevy of
outstanding guests today. I mentioned that Lavelle as always, will
be at five thirty, Ben Gestling at four thirty. We're
going to get a bit of guard Zee from Oregon
at five pointifteen eight quick preview from there as he's
preparing for his pregame duties and then his sideline duties there.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
I don't think there's any rain.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
In the forecast tonight for Oregon, but we'll double check
Oregon heavy heavy favorites in that ball game.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
I'll have some more.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
To get to regarding the Gophers, maybe in the four
o'clock hour as as well. Let's come back with Gerby
and get to the award winning prediction segment that's next,
so Il go, Let's go pen. He will store his
time for the bumper to bumper award winning NFL prediction segments.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
On the fan that brought to you by Continental Diamond.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
Now to help you break down this week's games, here's
your favorite NFL wonk, Dan Barrero.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Before we get to.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
Gerby six one two guy rights, you guys have to
play Mike Tys yelling about Radio Yahoo's telling them to
run the damn ball. I don't remember that one. Is
that part of vikings lore. Refresh my memory on that.
Give me a little bit, give me some more details
as well. Here's another text that might be of interest
to Gerby. The prediction segment has not been the same

(21:21):
without Gerby's lock of the week. Perhaps he would be
willing to donate a night at the bed, breakfast and
lunch to bring it back. Is that something that you
might be amenable to or are you guys too stingy
to offer up that kind of a freebie?

Speaker 4 (21:37):
Dan who When you think about people who care and
people who are always looking out for other people, yeah,
when you think about the Mother Teresa and then me
because I happen to contact your radio station this week
and I talked to Chaz Abbott thinks he's so smart.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
Are you ahead of Mother Teresa? Right ahead? Right behind her? No,
I'm behind Okay, you'll you'll grant.

Speaker 4 (22:04):
That she's like a saint and stuff.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
Like that's big of you.

Speaker 4 (22:06):
That's not really gracious, that kind of a boob. He
can be all the people who run the station. I
just dope be as hell. And I said, I'm not
coming unless says I've got a lot of the week
this week. And guess what, the senior producer, Brett blakemore,
we got it.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
We got a had a nice surprise.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
I didn't even know about this. It's emotional.

Speaker 4 (22:29):
Yeah, dam they are welcome.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
Do you want to do the first you want to
get that out of the way.

Speaker 5 (22:35):
Well, alcohol thing build up I.

Speaker 4 (22:41):
Don't know why you want to go to the Vikings game,
but you can go because thanks to me.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
Do you know how many Bears fans are going to
be at this game on Sunday?

Speaker 2 (22:49):
It's out of hat My sources say ticket prices are
through the roof because Bears fans finally having something that
you're about, they want to take over there.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
Now.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
I think this, this might get embarrassing for the Vikings
this weekend.

Speaker 4 (23:04):
Well, we'll talk about that later. I should be one
of the games you asked about.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
Of course it is.

Speaker 4 (23:08):
I just wanted to say, uh uh are we put
on a promotion this week? Talk about the Northern Lights?
Did you Northern Lights? No?

Speaker 2 (23:19):
I feel like I feel like I'm suffering from a
severe case of fobo there because I'm told they were
almost religious.

Speaker 4 (23:28):
No, I would say they were fine, and they're good
for a couple of nights. We're kind of hoping that
would extend into tonight because we have we have a
astrologist coming by, kind of explained the phenomenon.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
Astrologists that not an astronomer, but an astrologist.

Speaker 4 (23:47):
Yeah, Randy hired this guy and so so a scientist.
Plain how that all work?

Speaker 1 (23:53):
What so he's a scientist.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Yeah, astrologers are not generally science science majors.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
An astronomer would be.

Speaker 4 (24:06):
What's the differences? This guy is different? You talk about Dan,
it's just lights in the sky, all right?

Speaker 1 (24:14):
I get you? Does that overdo it?

Speaker 4 (24:15):
I mean, Ione is ringing on my desk? Hold on?
Is that not going to listen to that? Well?

Speaker 2 (24:22):
Wait a minute, what if it's a what if it's
a wizdom emergency and you're ignoring it, You're letting the
people down.

Speaker 4 (24:28):
Damn, that's a hold it is for That's what That's
what voicemail is for. Dan. That's why times if you
get out of all these people just want to chat,
just leave your business and get them get back to you.
That's how hold it's all about. Anyway, So this whole
you just see, everybody in the world took a picture
of it. It was like a there's a picture of
the northern night, just green and red. It's green and

(24:51):
red in the sky, and it's just the same sky
except as green and red. I mean, you could probably
take that. You could probably just put a whole bunch
of different color. What you're doing photo?

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Can't you enjoy anything?

Speaker 2 (25:03):
I mean, can't you Let's just let people enjoy the moment,
the richness of the moment.

Speaker 4 (25:07):
Yeah, no, it's great, rich and everything. And but I'm
just saying it's not going to be like the none
of mine and not going to be so good. Oh
I see, that's I'm just saying. But the goodness that
Earl with Nick, he's got a great presentation and everybody's
gonna enjoy it.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
He's the astrologer.

Speaker 4 (25:26):
No, he's a Green Bay Packer's legend, bury green Bay
Packer historian.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
I see.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
I thought maybe he was versatile and he also did
some astrology, and so you're killing two birds with onelf.

Speaker 4 (25:37):
Someone from the college. I think, I don't know what
Randy Randy booked it.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
Well, an astrologer really is a different thing. But that's okay,
I guess if you want to just say it's all
I'm sure.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
I'm sure it was cheaper to hire.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
An astrology, you know, to look at the sky and
say it's redd and been.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
Well, you might to explain it in in you know,
morecientific terms.

Speaker 4 (26:00):
Yes, that's what I'm sure that the person will. I
just from my own personal standpoint, I know I should
kind of be playing it up because we have to
pay the guy. But you know, it doesn't do much
to me. Okay, I mean it's fine. I mean, but
that's on television. That's all I know.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Northern Lights writes, uh nine five two guy in eau
Claire flash red and blue outside of a supper club.

Speaker 4 (26:28):
I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
I feel like it's a dairy Land diary joke. Perhaps
red and blue outside.

Speaker 4 (26:38):
Of suppers that Larry Mondello guy.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
No, it was not.

Speaker 4 (26:45):
Boy, you can't get enough every single time.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
I think he's a part of the astrologer also.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
Well great, but Brandy already okay, I want to tell
you about the lecture series this weekend, which is is
nineteen seventy two one of the greatest years to the Packers,
is it? Is it? If we won the division and
you know who we be? Who Messara?

Speaker 1 (27:11):
Did you really beat.

Speaker 4 (27:12):
Messara the last day season we won the division? You
know who the coach was? No, Dan Divine. Everybody says
bad things about Dandy. This is He's given the real
story about Dan Divine this weekend. He's breaking it down
the years of Dandivine coach and what really kind of

(27:33):
happened on the way out why he failed as a coach.
So again, I was pretty young back then.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
Yeah, you don't know much about it.

Speaker 4 (27:41):
I had anything to do with this dog.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
Yeah, well I've heard different, but that's okay.

Speaker 4 (27:47):
Anyway, But he said he's going to talk about the
dog because actually Earl met the dog.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
So what breed was it? I don't remember. I know
we studied this, Dan.

Speaker 4 (27:57):
If you'd like to learn about it, you can come
to Wisconsin, okay, bed breakfast and lunch. Is it true
that that we don't just we just don't let anybody in.
And look, I know it's kind of a limited menu
for breakfast if we're not here serving you know, croquettes
and trumpets and you know, yeah, look it's kind of

(28:19):
eggs and meat.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
That's okay, that's fine.

Speaker 4 (28:22):
If you want since cereal, we'll get you some cereal.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
I have no problem with that.

Speaker 4 (28:27):
If you want pancakes, we'll do pancakes. But don't you
know you're not getting into like, you know, breakfast cast role.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
I know, I don't think you should have to. We're
not doing I don't I don't blame you. Is the
story true?

Speaker 4 (28:38):
It was?

Speaker 1 (28:38):
NICKI would know? Is it true?

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Dan, Devine's remains were like sprinkled on lambeau Field many
years later.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
Is that true?

Speaker 4 (28:48):
I don't know that that's the case. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
How many former Green Bay Packers were cremated and had
their remains placed over Lambo. Do you know?

Speaker 1 (29:02):
Does he? I bet you was. Nicky would know.

Speaker 4 (29:06):
Nick would know off the top of my head. So
do you know that he used to coach Notre Dame
stands by?

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Yes, I I do remember that. Actually he was at
Missouri before that.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
I do with that one. Goofy looking guy, goofy looking guy.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
What's that supposed to mean?

Speaker 4 (29:25):
He's looks like a hobbit? That's that he was perfectly
cast as a hobby very nice as a football player.
Not so much.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Well, okay, that's the yeah. But it was based on
a true story.

Speaker 4 (29:38):
Yeah, kind of make a stuff up?

Speaker 1 (29:41):
You think they do.

Speaker 4 (29:43):
Hollywood is notable for that.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Six one two guy rights.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
I don't think the majority of your listeners of the
difference between an astronomer and astrologist.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
So let's not rail on Carl so hard.

Speaker 4 (29:52):
I don't understand what that's about. What's who can't do?

Speaker 1 (29:56):
It just doesn't matter, It doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Would you mind answering a couple of other questions before
we get to the picks, because they're pouring in. They
got a lot of questions for you today are for example,
are the Packers going to tank to get a quarterback
next draft?

Speaker 4 (30:13):
Why would we do that? Well, what's the point of
that the best quarterback?

Speaker 2 (30:16):
And division you can't score points? Would be part of
it is that unless you think it's on the coach.

Speaker 4 (30:23):
We've had some issues, Dan, and I don't feel like
I need to break them all down for you, but
I test you when I say there have been a
lot of meetings of the VIP. Honest, there has been
a lot of I won't call them suggestions so much
as advice. Uh's advice that we sent into the VIP

(30:44):
or an input money. I think a lot of stuff
can get clear up real.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
So do you think so.

Speaker 4 (30:50):
There's some things that aren't that. Look, you don't lose
this main games? Yeah, say, everything's okay. I know, Missuti
you do. You think you're going to the super Bowl? But
that's not acceptable for us, Dan, It's not. No. We're
gonna be fine though with a very young team who's
had some injuries, key injuries, and we're gonna get past it.
That's a good team again through the problem.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
How tough was it the other night? I mean to
sit there and watch that offense continue.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
To to to to sumber one.

Speaker 4 (31:18):
Philolph just got pretty good defense. Oh, here we go,
I find out about that.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
Here we go.

Speaker 4 (31:23):
So Phillop has got pretty good defense. And then we
had some some calls go against us, and then there
were some issues that will be cleaned up. We're cleaned up.
We'll be fine. I mean, it's not like we're in
last place. I mean, only bad teams in the last place.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
All right, Can we get to the picks? Because we
got to do Gerby Lock of the week too, Let's
do it, do it.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
I was I'm on a roll.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
I was zero and three. I've dropped to thirteen and
seventeen guards. He was one and two. He's at fifteen
and fifteen Gerby building a lead.

Speaker 4 (31:55):
Notice. Notice yeah that after after I didn't I was
going at the end, all of a sudden, you you
have you have plummeted.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
I can't copy you anymore. That's that's what it is.
We actually, well, but that happened.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
Oh I see last week I had to go first
all right, So I'm gonna do instead of flipping a coin,
I'm gonna flip my You know, I got one of
those car things to to unlock the vehicle for Volvo.
So on one side there's a Volvo logo you had.
On the other side, the other side there's nothing.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
It's blank. Well, like I could say that that's not problem.
All right.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
The first game Seahawks at Rams, and that game is
in Los Angeles, and this is a good matchup. Seattle
at Rams. Rams are favored by three and a half.
So I'm gonna say, well, the home team will be
Heads Volvo. The road team will be the blank slate.

(33:00):
So let's let me do the thing, and it's Heads Rams.
I'll take the Rams guards he represented by blakemore what
he got in this game.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
I'm going to go the other way. I like.

Speaker 4 (33:09):
But I answer a question, Yeah, question, is he ever
coming back you you kicked him off? He should know.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
He's busy with the Golden Golfers have a game tonight
in Oregon, so he's got to do that, tru Yeah,
he's going to be on at five point fifteen.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
If you want to come back on then.

Speaker 4 (33:26):
Okay. I think a lot of things better to do
than that.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
What do you got, Blakemore? I like Darnold, I like
the way they're playing, or go Seahawks Gerby.

Speaker 4 (33:36):
Well here's the thing, damn, if you think about it.
This is off the top of my head. You know,
Seattle is actually seven and one against the spread in
the last eight games, which is a really that's an
impressive total. But here's the secret. Seattle is one in
eight against the spread in their last nine games against
the Rams. So we like the more specific trend in
this case a gaes.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
Yeah. Yeah, So which way you're going I take demands?
You are going to take the ramps? So now you're
copying me?

Speaker 1 (34:07):
All right?

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Next up, Packers are included here. That's unusual, huh at.

Speaker 4 (34:13):
New York like that? Giants? That's true, so much better.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
There's no question about that. Giants.

Speaker 4 (34:22):
I should go online and write that down.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Giants have a new coach this week, as they fired
day Ball and they're hosting. So do we know yet
who's going to start at QB. It is going to
be jameis that's my knowledge?

Speaker 1 (34:37):
Yeah? Concussion protocol not attained.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
That status not attained by Dart the kid who was
looking so good against the Bears again last week before
he had a concussion.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
I'll take your word for it. What doesn't matter. I'm
using the keys anyway.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
So here we go. Here's my pick, Packers as the
road team. Even the seven and a half's a lot
of points. Giants are going to be inspired. Jamis is
feast or famine though. Man, he could throw five touchdown
passes and five picks in the same game.

Speaker 4 (35:08):
But that thing doing it?

Speaker 1 (35:13):
Yeah, flipping looking at it?

Speaker 4 (35:14):
Yeah, but do you see the way it's coming up back?

Speaker 2 (35:17):
Why would I lie about this? Not really that badly.
It's more fun when I don't Actually, So I got Packers.
What do you think, Brett Blake, I'm going to go
down on your.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
Club, I am.

Speaker 3 (35:29):
But the Giants, I mean, unless they have a new
points it's a lot of points.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
Can you score seven points at their best? They can?

Speaker 3 (35:39):
Sorry, I just think there's too much going on with
Jamis and they've got an interim coach, uh and the
defense is terrible.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
I like Green Bay to at least cover that, hopefully.

Speaker 5 (35:51):
Carl And you don't want You don't want us, No,
you don't want none of piss.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
Why didn't you get last week.

Speaker 4 (36:06):
Well, Dan, there as some issues, so I tried to explain,
I'm not going to teall you exactly all the ones
I got you. You know what, Right now we're pissed, okay,
and we're gonna cover that easy, dam Why.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
Because okay, Herby gets it.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
Good to know, all right, Bears at Vikings that is
the noon game on the fan pregame ten sermons nine
uh go for football Sunday eight, Packer Preview seven thirty
or seven seven seven o'clock full hour. Yep, stand all right,
let me get.

Speaker 4 (36:36):
My your can you make the extended version?

Speaker 1 (36:40):
We've got a podcast.

Speaker 4 (36:43):
Really, what's it called.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
It's called Packer Review. It's the day after the games,
me and Dave.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
Exactly. It's on the Free Iart Radio.

Speaker 5 (36:53):
Did Dame second come up with the original?

Speaker 1 (36:55):
Isn't it?

Speaker 2 (36:57):
I flipped my keys. I'm taking Bears Bears over Vikings
favored by two and a half Brett Blakemore.

Speaker 3 (37:05):
I think the fact that the Bears have the record
they do and the Vikings have the record they do,
and yet the Vikings are still favored, I think says
it all. I like the Vikes at home to at
least cover that two and a half win by three.
Well that didn't make sense on the on your logic
says it all. What do you mean the Bears are fraudle?
I guess well, their schedule has been very soft. There's

(37:25):
no questioning that part of it. Gerby, what do you
think you love picking?

Speaker 1 (37:29):
Again?

Speaker 3 (37:29):
No?

Speaker 1 (37:29):
You like picking for a while.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
Was you picked the Vikings because you hoped it would
mean that the Vikings would lose?

Speaker 1 (37:35):
So what's your strategy this week?

Speaker 4 (37:38):
Damn, I'm just gonna get a winning pick here, That's
what I mean. Okay, And look, the Bears are arrival.
We don't like when the bands went. They're awful, the
fans at table, they're a real rival. And you know what,
in the last seven games of five and two against
the spread, and you know what, in the last six games,

(37:58):
Minnesota is two and four and suspect that's just a trend.
You can't you can't go against. So we'll take Chicago.
I hate Chicago, you yeah, because the Bears are your
But I like winning, So I'm gonna take that. And
then what really buys me has a copy all yours?

Speaker 2 (38:15):
Yeah, it worked out that that's not good. I can't
do any worse.

Speaker 4 (38:18):
I'm gonna give Out of the week.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
Well, hold on a second before you do that.

Speaker 4 (38:24):
Interesting, you don't have that stupid thing, do you.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna play it. Uh here's the tweet.
I got it five minutes ago. Dan is what I hear?
Correct is Gurby talking about the coach's dog. The Green
Bay Packers fans erased hashtag disgusting.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
He's disgusted by it.

Speaker 4 (38:41):
No, not, what was he talking about?

Speaker 2 (38:43):
Well, you brought it up. What you can't run from it?
Now you just said you didn't have anything to do
with it.

Speaker 4 (38:48):
I said, nis gonna tell the truth about what really happened. Okay,
that's what he's gonna tell the truth. So if if he,
if that person thinks they know what happened, maybe they
need to be questioned about what's going on.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
I hit the Lock of the Week music. It's Carl Kerbschwitz.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
So let's remind folks how well you go ahead, Brett
Blakebourne and remind folks what is at steak here?

Speaker 4 (39:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:18):
So if you want to go to Vikings Bears this Sunday,
you listen to Lock of the Week, you leave us
a talk back on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
We're going talkback. We're going to talk that's brilliant new.

Speaker 3 (39:28):
You leave a talkback What is the lock of the
week and winners will be emailed?

Speaker 4 (39:33):
What is it? Talk back? Hold on? What is that
talk about?

Speaker 1 (39:36):
It's just on the corporates trying to push on us.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
Yeah, so you get thirty seconds to rant?

Speaker 4 (39:41):
How do I do that?

Speaker 1 (39:42):
Well, you can't do it because you you can't win.

Speaker 4 (39:47):
Some friends or something.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
No, that's that's not what they do. That's not in
the spirit of the competition here.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
So how do you pick? So how do you pick
the winner? Is it at random?

Speaker 3 (39:56):
Then the winners will be emailed this afternoon winner.

Speaker 4 (40:01):
Some stupid person doesn't know how to do a talk show?

Speaker 2 (40:04):
Is it? Are you guaranteed to win if you participate? No,
can't be that. We don't have that many tickets, do we.

Speaker 1 (40:11):
We don't.

Speaker 2 (40:12):
We have some system. I wanted to go to the game.
So all right, what is your lock of the week?
That's the most important thing. And then people just have
to do it online. They don't have to do it
via x this year, at least this week it's do
the talkback cafe and dot com click on the microphone
and name.

Speaker 4 (40:29):
Whatyby's lock of the.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
Week is exactly all right, go ahead, okay.

Speaker 4 (40:34):
Gurby's lock of the week is. And this UN's stay easy, folks,
because there's a super high number out there that I
don't think that can hit. Okay, it's a it's a
Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. The number is forty nine. Forty forty nine,
you know what. And the number has off the top
of my head, I would say that the number has

(40:56):
been under eleven of Pittsburgh last sixteen games and get
the same. So we're gonna definitely go under. Definitely going under.
So it's Pittsburgh Cincinnati under forty nine points.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
That's pretty that's a good lock. I think that is
actually a good lock of the week. That's pretty well.

Speaker 4 (41:16):
I feel so happy.

Speaker 1 (41:17):
It's well thought out. For a change, Usually it's not
all that well.

Speaker 4 (41:19):
I mean, well, okay, it's the last place.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
Well no, but here's the thing. It's difficult.

Speaker 4 (41:25):
Shouldn't you have to talk to a market that's in
last place?

Speaker 1 (41:28):
Well? No, here's the thing.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
It's hard to believe that that kind of wisdom comes
from the same person who earlier compared himself to mother Teresa.
I mean that that's that seems to be kind of
a contradiction to me.

Speaker 4 (41:40):
I didn't say I was I was behind Mother Tech.

Speaker 1 (41:44):
That's very awfully decent.

Speaker 4 (41:46):
Don't get awfully decent of you two to say me.
A good weekend for football. Everybody go pack it.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
Yep, there he goes, wraps it up right on time.
Good clock management by the one and the only, Carl Gerbschmidt.
Don't forget Ben Gesling at four thirty and we've got
Lavelle at five thirty. GUARDSI from Oregon file a live
report from Vikings, Oregon Ducks tonight on the fan.

Speaker 1 (42:15):
I want to talk a little Gophers now though, when
we come back.

Speaker 2 (42:18):
Spinning Off a pretty interesting piece written by Chip Skogs
at the Star Tribune and State
