Speaker 1 (00:21):
There's too many of you try. There's far too many
of you that I'm gonna need for you to retard
your anger level a few notches and listen to me.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Can you do that?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
How very interesting?
Speaker 4 (00:43):
You're a true old Gary, aren't you.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
I practice, and I've gotten good sometimes like you went
to went through business.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
But I don't predict it. Nobody does, because it's it's
just wind. It's wind. It blows all over the place.
Someone who will listen to your boring stories. I mean,
you didn't you notice on the plane when you started
talking eventually I started reading the vomit bag. Would you say,
you're completely foolished?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Just I hope, just fifty one who knows.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
One of the many pleasures I associate with doing the
Bumper to Bumper program over the now decades is that
the longer I'm in this chair, the more likely, on
any given day via Once upon a Time, the Inbox
now the brash On Brian Kfan text line, that whatever
(02:07):
opinion I might offer up sooner or later on that day,
someone will push back, which is part of the job.
You'd say, well, that's what you got to accept. People
are gonna respond, They're going to react they're gonna agree,
they're going to disagree, but it's the way they tend
to push back the longer I'm in this chair, and
(02:29):
it usually goes something like this old man on cloud again,
why don't you retire? God year old? Nobody cares, And
to a certain extent, you have to accept that that's
(02:51):
the way it's going to be. I've tried to say gently,
how about you dismiss my opinion on the base on
its merits rather than bringing in the cheap criticism of well,
that's what an old guy or an old gal would say.
(03:12):
I bring all of this up because today I think,
on this edition of Bumper to Bumper, and it's going
to be a short edition two hours, that we should
be toasting the Geezers for all sorts of reasons. And
this has nothing to do with me. I'm not asking
to be toasted. Last night, I don't know how many
(03:35):
of you watched the Thursday night game. You could have
heard it all on the fan, every minute of it.
I watched it. I couldn't take my eyes off of it.
Two Geezer quarterbacks, as most of you know by now,
matched up in a shootout the Pittsburgh Steelers and the
(03:55):
Cincinnati Bengals. Aaron Rodgers forty one, forty They both looked
like they were twenty five years old. Aaron Rodgers at
the on the last play of the game, through the
longest pass in an NFL game in about thirty years
(04:15):
at age forty one, and it was magnificent. And yeah,
I might have trolled a little bit, might have mentioned
he wanted to come here in the case of Rogers,
and immediately was get off your cloud, old man. Nobody
cares what you think. He threw two picks. We beat
the Bengals. Aaron Rodgers didn't beat the Bengals. And I
(04:39):
get the defensiveness. I understand it. You feel vulnerable about
your situation at quarterback right now. That's not the point.
We'll get to that in more detail later. But forty
one and forty put on a show at those ages.
Then I come to find out in the baseball playoffs,
Max Schurezer, who I think is forty one, was brilliant
(05:01):
for the Toronto Blue Jays at least through five and
most of five and two thirds innings to help them
get right back in that series. And the manager comes
to the mound to take the geezer out, and the
geezer says, go back to the dugout bleep you. I'm
(05:22):
fine White A night for the Geezers. And to top
it all off, speaking of Geezers, as many of you
know by now today friend of the show, my former
colleague at the Star Debune Patrick Royci, is celebrating his
(05:44):
eightieth eightieth eightieth birthday. So is it not fair that
we salute If we can't salute the Geezers, now, when
can we? That's my view and I'm going to stick
with it. Between now and five o'clock this evening, the
(06:06):
name of the program is Bumper to Bumper. My name
is Dan Barrero. Guardsy will join a bit later. Kara
Savage is joining us. Now, thank you for coming, Thanks
for having me. I appreciate you being on today's show.
I know you were you're doing double duty today. You
were at Fox nine earlier, Yes it was, and now
you're here, and we've got a powerpack broadcast between now
(06:27):
and five. We've got Picks coming up with Gerby at
three thirty. Then the plan is in fact, Guardsy is
going to be a part of that from the original
bank in Dinky Town. As he prepares for Golden Gopher
pregame show. That's why we're out at five o'clock today,
and then he's going to hang to give us a
little bonus time to talk Gophers versus the Nebraska Cornhuskers,
(06:50):
a game as we said, could be heard on the
on the fan. And then Ben Gestling is scheduled to
join us about four thirty. I can't call Carson Wentz
a geezer. I don't think he's old enough to be
that status. I think he's thirty two years old. Will
you look that up for me? I think he's thirty two.
(07:12):
He's certainly considerably older than JJ McCarthy, who, as I
tried to tell the audience Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday,
was not going to start against the Philadelphia Egos, no
matter how badly the mcgobos wanted it to happen or
(07:34):
the muck bobos, it wasn't going to happen. And it's
not happening. And here's the kicker. As we talked about
Wednesday and Thursday, he ain't the backup either. He is
the emergency number three quarterback. Kevin O'Connell made that official.
I think about two o'clock a little after two. So
(07:57):
if there's an extra bounce in guards ease step, it's
because Max Brosmer is one shoulder tweak away from playing
in his first National Football League game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Because you'll recall Wentz has kind of a wonky left shoulder.
(08:17):
The head coach says, he's fine, or he's fine enough.
He gets hit, though, he gets battered a little bit,
and that's your sequence. The only way JJ McCarthy would
play on Sunday high noon, right here in the fan
is if both of the other quarterbacks are unavailable or
(08:38):
cannot go. It's a remarkable circumstance. It also likely means
that Wentz will start next Thursday, although the head coach
tried really double hard today to lay out how much
good experience reps that JJ McCarthy has had in practice,
(09:03):
especially this week, a little bit last week. Problem is
he's been limited. As recently as yesterday he was listed
as not a full participant, at which point, as I said,
I thought, the debate about who should play becomes immaterial.
Doesn't matter who you think should play. If only one
guy is available to play, then the decision is indeed made.
(09:29):
We found out I think the famous quote the best
ability is availability belongs to Bill Parcells. I don't know
if he stole it from someplace else, but generally it
gets credited to him. So we've had others who have
(09:49):
certainly used it over the years. Bud Grant has used
it with us in this studio. I don't know if
he was stealing it from Bill Parcells. Maybe Bud said
it first, I'm not sure, but as tried as it is,
it applies the whatever your best laid plans are for
(10:10):
handing the keys to this offense to the new kid,
none of that matters if he's not healthy enough to go,
if he's not ready to play, if he is injured.
We have played Vikings have played well regular season seventeen
(10:31):
games last year, five this year. That's twenty two total.
JJ McCarthy has been available for two of the twenty two,
and as I mentioned on the Enough Said program that
we taped earlier today, with the justin guard Natalie Brineger
(10:52):
Fox nine filling in for Lori Fisher, you can argue
he's only actually been available for one of the twenty
two based the way he performed against Atlanta. And again,
I know it's hard to listen to. I know how
many times have I said, if JJ McCarthy were healthy
(11:16):
and by now playing very well to very well or
even reasonably well, it wouldn't matter so much to people
that Daniel Jones has looked brilliant, or that Sam Darnold
has looked very good, or that Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, I know,
(11:37):
two picks, but you try, you try winning with that.
Pittsburgh Steelers defense, for God's sake, have looked as good
as they have. That's what makes McCarthy not being available
stand out. He's playing, and he's playing creditibly. You say, no,
we know we're doing we knew what we were doing
all along. But that's not the backdrop. That's not the landscape.
(12:00):
So this other stuff tends to matter. And I got
to tell you, I think I somebody tweeted it. It
might have been Kevin Seaffert. The Aaron Rodgers I saw
last night. Some of those throws, those were vintage Aaron
Rodgers throws. I mean, I don't think he's looked that
(12:24):
sharp zipping the ball around in years. And we could
have had him, we ultimately chose not to. He wanted
to come here, There's no question about that, and look,
there's still twelve games to go. Well, he's not going
to play Sunday, so eleven, he's not going to play Thursday.
So that probably means he's got ten games to make
people forget all this stuff. And it's possible that he
(12:47):
does exactly that, but that sadly, we warned people in
the summer there was going to be an inherent unfairness
about what was expected to JJ McCarthy right out of
the chute, and now I think it's even been heightened
more because of the three quarterbacks that the Vikings either
had or flirted with in the offseason, all doing as
(13:08):
well as they have done to this point, all of
them obviously relatively speaking, veteran players as well. All right,
let's get our first pause in as I mentioned, picks
with Carl Gerbschmidt at three point thirty guards. He will
apparently participate in that as well. Bradshawn and Brian Kafan
text line is wide open. That number is six four,
(13:32):
six eighty six. Let me know, since I'm trying to
sort of turn this into a salute to the Geezers
Friday on the Bumper and Bumper Show, give me some
other Geezers, we should instead of denigrating just because they
had the temerity the audacity to get old, that we
should be celebrating on this very special occasion. Quick break,
(13:57):
we'll come back and as I said, prepare for the
one and the only Carl Gerbishman at the bottom of
the hour. Ruberta Bumber continues on the fan. Lots of
(14:24):
good texts are coming in on other geezers that we
can hold tall and strong with who we can celebrate,
commemorative prints for them, banners for them as well. We'll
give you some details on that in just a minute.
Guards He will join us during the prediction segment. He
(14:45):
is preparing for Gopher football pregame show, which we'll start
at five o'clock here tonight. That's why we are out early.
A quick question for you, because we've not had a
lot of chance to talk on air. Was it ever
Kara instead of it's Kara, right, it's Kara? Is it ever?
Did you ever think of it? How often you get
(15:08):
called kara? And would you prefer to be called Kara?
Speaker 5 (15:11):
I don't prefer to be called kara, but I do
get called.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
That all the time, and I sometimes.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
I get called up by people that I've known for
too long, or it's like awkward, you know, it's like
and I don't care that much, So sometimes I'll just
let people call me Kara. But then it gets to
the point where it's even more embarrassing.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Yes, that's a tough spot to be in. When do
you bring it to their attention and when do you?
Probably it's probably not worth fighting the battles most needs.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
No, especially if it's not someone that I'm going to
see on the regular, then I'm usually just like whatever.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
You think, Yeah, that's probably fair. It ever works for you.
I wondered if maybe at some point, you know, uh,
you thought when you were younger, maybe it was it
would be even more exotic, you know some right, you know,
I switch it. Yeah, maybe people for the loop.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
I mean people have I've been told someone told me
once that I spelt my name wrong. That's why I
felt with a K and they're like, with a K,
it's Kara. See it's Kara. I was like, well, that's
something you should take up with my parents. That's not
a me thing.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
I didn't know that was a rule neither. I learned
it that day. Yeah, that's very interesting. Lots of good
texts are coming in other Geezers as we attempt to
stand tall for the Geezers who had a great night
last night in football and baseball. Patrick ROYSI turns eighty
years old today, Happy birthday to him. Let me give
(16:32):
you some examples of some of the texts that have
have come in regarding maybe some other nominees that are
all I think, very very good. Dan. Another Geezer who
deserves some props. Paul McCartney, the ultimate Geezer. He's in
town Tonight's the night. I know he's very disappointed because
(16:55):
he I thought quote from him that he thinks this
Nebraska team is finally for real. So give me a
little disappointing for him not to be there. But McCartney
at US Bank tonight eighty three years old. So is
there a better day to celebrate the Geezers than last
night and today here in the Twin Cities. I mean,
(17:15):
come on, Dan, I'm fifty seven years old. So nobody
pulls for the Geezers harder than I do. That's a
young pup. But throwing two picks resulting in a loss
to the putrid Bengals is nothing to write home about.
At least be honest with yourself. That's from That's Mike
flimflam In also known as flim Flam in New York,
(17:36):
or I should say in New Hope. No, I couldn't
disagree with you. More interceptions are bad. But I challenge
you to have watched that game last night and come
away from it thinking that Aaron Rodgers was more the
problem than the solution for the Pittsburgh Steelers with that defense.
I mean, who's the uh who's the analyst?
Speaker 6 (18:02):
Now?
Speaker 4 (18:02):
I actually covered him years ago. He's with the Dallas
Cowboys many many years ago. Who now does he breaks
down film all the time? Baldinger, He laid out that
last field goal winning drive for the Bengals and basically said,
who is anybody guarding? What were the Pittsburgh I think
(18:23):
his exact quote was, what were the Pittsburgh Steelers doing
on defense? On one occasion they covered one receiver and
left the Bengals best receiver opened by himself. I sorry,
you watch that game. The eye test will not fail you.
Rogers had a lot more to do with them being
(18:43):
in the game and being in the position to win
it than to lose it. And it wasn't even close
more Geezer nominees. Salute to Kessie speaking of Geezers, from
John the mail Carrier, almost getting in a brawl but
taking the high road to Glenn Mason, still tossing out
(19:07):
lines like the master swordsman he is. To Luigi for
his upcoming Wild TV analysis for four consecutive games. How
about Lebron James rise three to two? Oh guy, Now
he's starting the season injured, I believe, but his numbers
(19:29):
are He's he's the oldest player in the history. He
will be the oldest player in the history of the league.
I mean, come on, those are all outstanding suggestions as
we continue to try to give the Geezers, especially this day,
their proper due after having a great night last night
as well. And here's another one. Now, I guess we
(19:51):
have to get a ruling on what the dividing line
is between geezer and non geezer. Kurt Signetti, huge success
at MI alma Mater, Indiana University, just got a huge
and obscene contract extension. He's sixty four, I think is
that old enough to be considered a geezer? Probably not,
(20:13):
but it's to the point of the Texter He's not
a young man's coach. You know, we all grow up
thinking you got to get the up and comer, you know,
the brash young coach who's hungry for it, and no,
you can't give it to it. An aging guy at
Indiana University, even he's if he's had success at lower levels,
(20:34):
because those are lower levels. And what has Signetti done.
He has taken about as complete and full advantage of
an opportunity as any geezer coach probably in the history
of college football. All those things I think are true,
so to that extent, and for that reason, I'd have
no problems including Signetti on this very distinguished list. How
(21:00):
about Mike Conley, not weekly but monthly guest on this show,
will be again this year. I already joined us in studio. Now,
he's not a geezer relative to many of these others.
He ain't his fifties, he ain't his sixties, ain't in
his forties. But he's getting long in the tooth for
point guard in the National Basketball Association. And yet the
Wolves are convinced, and he is convinced he can still
(21:22):
play an extremely significant role in getting this team at
least one step closer to the Promised Land. I like
all these these are really really outstanding. I will add
I guess I have to apologize to one of the geezers,
Joe Flacco, because I thought Guardian and I talked him
(21:43):
with this. I thought he was done. I thought Cleveland
got rid of him because he was getting cranky after
having been demoted. And I guess I do have to
factor in that Pittsburgh's defense is dreadful. But this was
a second good game, well, actually good second half last week,
good game last night. The guy who should be wondering
(22:04):
about himself is the head coach at the Cleveland Browns.
How many quarterbacks? If you really think Flacco can sustain this, well,
then why would you trade him in the first place.
And that's not the first quarterback they've turned their back on,
including Baker Mayfield in that regime. So I found it inexplicable.
(22:25):
But he was the same as almost the same as
Aaron Rodgers. He's just flinging the ball all over the
place with absolutely remarkable success. I saw someone who looked
a lot like Max brozmer By a tire iron at
an auto parts store today. Watch out for an I
(22:46):
Tanya moment. I hope that would. I don't think that's
going to happen, but I wouldn't be shocked if Brozmer plays,
because I don't think it's likely that Wentz is one
hundred percent and he takes a battering, and he is
a guy who has gotten hurt a decent amount in
his career. This is, by the way, day number thirty three.
Now I think that JJ McCarthy has been sidelined for
(23:10):
this latest injury as well. Bottom of the hour pause,
Let's come back and prepare for the predictions segment. Gurby
and Guardsy will be also participating from a remote location
University of Minnesota, as I have said, as he prepares
for the Gopher pregame show Gopher Nebraska coming up later tonight.
Here in the Fan, our sorcers Holly, he could go.
Speaker 7 (23:33):
On Suckstown ten.
Speaker 8 (23:35):
He will score his time for the Bumper to Bumper
award winning NFL prediction segments on the Fan that brought
to you by Continental Diamonds Now to.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Help you break down this week's games.
Speaker 8 (23:52):
Here's your favorite NFL wonk, Dan Barrero.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
It is indeed that time again Predictions segment. As I mentioned,
Guestling will join at about four thirty. We're out at
five for the Golden Gopher, a pregame show as they
prepare to take on the Nebraska corn Huskers. Let's say
hi first of all to mister Carl Gerbschmidt. You can
pot him up for me, Thank you very much, Carl,
can you hear us? Okay? That's good here.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
Talking to Carleen. She is really smart, Carleen Is.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
I'm glad you. I'm glad you got her name right
and you're pronouncing it right as well. She knows what
she's doing. It's not her first rode.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
Much smarter than like the other people, like except for
senior producer Brett Blake Mark. Yeah, who I think is
probably the smartest, the smartest guy in the station.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Dave Sinicon. Is you think Dave Sinica's the smartest guy?
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Smartest guy in the DA is a smartest guy. What's
it like when you're in a room with him? You're
not the smartest guy in that room?
Speaker 4 (24:54):
That's a good points. That's the box I just have
to live with. What's humbling? What would I should be?
Before we say hi to guard Zy, give me your favorite.
We're celebrating the Geezer today because they had the well
the Geezer quarterbacks had such a great night last night.
Geezer pitcher had a great night last night. Patrick ROYCEI
(25:16):
turns eighty years old today. He's another Geezer. Paul McCartney,
the Ultimate Geezer, is performing downtown Minneapolis tonight. So who's
give me? Carl Gertschmidt's favorite Geezer?
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Earl is Nicky? Who he's Earl is Nicky. He's a
guy who's at the you mentioned and lunch and he's
asked he's our historian that the.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
Pack of historian. Is he a Geezer and he's lived
to it all? What's that?
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Is he a Geezer? How old is he?
Speaker 6 (25:48):
Eighty four?
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Eighty four? That's geezer. That's Geezer status for sure. That's
the best. I'm shocked you're not naming a former Packer.
Speaker 6 (25:59):
Well, this guy is Well, I'm in a contractual obligation
with Earl right now, so I'm trying to hype up
the the TX that he's given Wisconsin Interactive Ice Bowl
Exhibit bed and breakfast.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
And lunch And is it sold out again this week?
Speaker 9 (26:18):
Well?
Speaker 7 (26:19):
This is this week is the first.
Speaker 6 (26:20):
Well, I'm unfortunately I'm in the office right now, So
I don't know how check in is going so far,
though I have a burner in case Randy needs some help.
So I knew I was gonna be on the phone.
I'm using my normal phone for this.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Is that is that allow use the work? This is
my phone, your phone. I see very good, good connection,
I might add, Guardie, how are things that do you?
Speaker 9 (26:49):
They're great? Little quiet.
Speaker 10 (26:50):
Right now, I'm wondering, is Brett Blakemore at the Bed
and Breakfast to lunch with his gal this week? An invitation?
That's what I'm wondering. As I'm just listening to it.
I forgot it was opening weekend. He said, I don't
know where he is is can you confirm that, Gerby,
do you have a Blake Moore reservations?
Speaker 6 (27:07):
I know no, I don't think so. No. I don't
think he'd be welcome.
Speaker 9 (27:11):
He's got to be there. He's young, and he's young
and in love. I think, well, we.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
Don't need any of that stuff. You know, you got
five minutes, took about five minutes in the bit you
got to that.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
You can't tell people what to do in there in
the privacy their own room.
Speaker 7 (27:30):
I know, Dan, I know, it's just that you will.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
There are some walls that I'm exactly like, you know,
like sound so.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
So you're discouraged.
Speaker 10 (27:42):
That was the whole point of a bed brother. I
thought people be you know, so inspired by all the
great packer memorabilia and their packer fans. I don't know, Sorry, we're.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
Not going to say, hey, knock it off.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
You can do that.
Speaker 6 (27:58):
You know when you're in a place, you know, a
hotel or something like that, and all of a sudden
you hear this on the wall and there the room,
it's like, Okay.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Here's what I'm actually more worried about. You're not gonna
have any of You're not gonna have any of of
Vern's adult films available to people who stay in those rooms?
Are you?
Speaker 6 (28:23):
And that's not Dan, That's not everything that does. People
you should not like say that's what.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Don't stereotype you a filmmaker.
Speaker 6 (28:32):
You can filmmaker say he has made lots of industrial films.
He's he's done documentaries. Yeah, uh, he has done like
industrial films, Like that's the that's the the polite name
for porn films. No, Dan, it's not. It's like if
you're companies like when they do training films and things
(28:54):
like that. You get generally, like guys who've been on
like a sitcom or like a thing TV show will
come in and they'll do the narration.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
Guard, do you remember the film? What was the name of?
Speaker 7 (29:10):
You know?
Speaker 8 (29:10):
Who?
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Does Denise want anybody to know that he knows them?
Speaker 7 (29:17):
Well?
Speaker 6 (29:18):
He's narrated a few things.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
Seriously, that's that's surprised.
Speaker 9 (29:23):
He's a great narrator.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
He's very good, Uh actor. Guards you what was the
name of the film in which was the the lead
character was named Dirk Diggler? What was the name of
that movie? Do you know what I'm talking to? The
film I'm talking about Burt Reynolds. I can't think of
the name of the movie. Somebody will will give it
to me fast here because in that film Burt.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
Gante No.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
But what's interesting about this is Burt Reynolds plays the
big time, h exotic film producer and director and he's
saying similar to what you're saying about. Vern's like, I'm
a filmmaker. You know, I I don't make you know,
I make films. I make motion pictures. I could have
sworn that that's exactly where you got your inspired in
(30:14):
in in protecting Vern.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
Vern does not need my protection, does not? You might need,
you know, like legal protection, but he does not need
my protection.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
What's that supposed to me?
Speaker 9 (30:25):
Nights?
Speaker 4 (30:26):
Yes, Boogie Knights classic film? You ever seen it? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (30:33):
I know the song Boogie Nights?
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Well know that?
Speaker 6 (30:36):
Yeah, on your show you could sing? I think you
know some smitty has got here. You gotta pay licensees.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
If I start saying, did you are you added any
added features to the bed and breakfast? Uh and and
lunch that you're lining up? I mean, is there some
anyone you any more added attractions?
Speaker 7 (30:59):
You?
Speaker 4 (31:00):
You got to try to sweeten it up early and
get the word of mouth out. So what else are
you doing to to sort of give yourselves the best
chance to succeed with this new enterprise?
Speaker 6 (31:10):
Well, Ear has a fairly substantial presentation. He's going to
be done after breakfast every day. And it's a slide show,
like not like a PowerPoint, it's an actual slide.
Speaker 9 (31:23):
It sounds kind of boring.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
You're going to lose people on that.
Speaker 6 (31:26):
Boy, because we play music behind it. So now I've
seen it three times, he's rehearsing it. I kind of
know it, I'm on. But if you if you've not
seen it so much law regarding super Bowl number two,
there's just so much loss story and we have you know,
he talked to people like, uh that was that was
(31:48):
Oakland one right now, I can't I can't keep up,
keep up because one was okay, one with Kansas City.
But he did talk to members of the other two.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
So a lot of supper war too, don't they.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
Yeah, if you want to know how to be a loser, yeah,
go ahead, that's great.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
That stopped very nice, not.
Speaker 6 (32:08):
Very nice to lose. But I don't hear you ripping
their your team.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Do you know the Vikings have not scored a single
point in the first halves of any of those four games.
Speaker 6 (32:19):
Well, I did know that. It's like it's something that
everybody thinks it's kind of funny.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
It's embarrassing, actually is.
Speaker 6 (32:27):
I mean there's one game where you had like two
points at one point.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Yeah, well, I really I think Guardia are both really
uh you know, rooting for you this week and we
hope this thing gets off the ground.
Speaker 6 (32:39):
I mean again, you want to be a paid endorser. No,
I'm not going to be paid.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
Well, we were unpaid. I was an unpaid endorser with
all the online stuff you had from the hay Was
it the hay Ride?
Speaker 6 (32:53):
What was it? That was somebody who looked like you?
Speaker 4 (32:56):
That's a I god forbid? Well, okay, that's you feel
about it. I I I actually should have had attorneys
look into it.
Speaker 6 (33:04):
If you want, I can do the same thing about
like you know, you know, you can have an endorsement.
You could say, no, I really enduring my time at
the at the Wisconsin Interactive Ice Bowl exhibit and bed
and breakfast much.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
I don't lie when I endorse. I'm just saying, did
you know that availability? Availability is the greatest ability? Did
you know that?
Speaker 9 (33:30):
Gerby? I?
Speaker 6 (33:33):
I think I think the ability to warp time in
space is a.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
Now that might be an even better ability as well.
Has the word by the way filtered to you, uh
Gerby on the Vikings quarterback announcement?
Speaker 6 (33:47):
Yeah? And I'll tell you what, damn. It had to
be a really tough choice, wow, between It had to
be a really difficult choice between an injured guy who
has played one quarter of football well professional level and
another guy who's also injured, who basically halfway through every
season self destructs, so I just do what It'd be
(34:09):
a tough fight, that would be a difficult choice, that's
but yeah, that's what you have to put up with.
That's not everybody can have Jordan Love on that team.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
I'm not sure you're going to convince Vikings fans who
are considering the possibility of visiting your new establishment that
you're helping your chances of getting any of those folks
heading your way without accomplish beautiful Dan, so cheap shots
like that.
Speaker 6 (34:37):
Oh, it's just friendly joshing Dan. That's what it is.
Do you know we're gonna have an expert over from
beaver peepers there because this weekend they're doing having a
become a herpetologist. What do you know what that is?
It's not it's not nothing to do with you know
what you think it might be there. It's about being
a terphile.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
So you're the you're the one who's the sicky. We're not.
Speaker 6 (35:01):
What are you talking about, man, It's about it's about herpetology.
Speaker 4 (35:05):
Herpetology. Okay, well, I can't wait. That's one of the
presentations that you're gonna have them.
Speaker 6 (35:11):
That's gonna be let may bring some reptiles over after
after lunch, and then you got to check out because
you don't get to stay here all day.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
I would have just hired Monti Creesan's Traveling Reptile shows
what I'd.
Speaker 9 (35:26):
Have done exactly. Yeah, two dogs. I think he lives
in Hudson.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
Save yourself some.
Speaker 7 (35:33):
Is that come next weekend we what we want to
make this the kind of experience that you will always
think to remember fondly.
Speaker 9 (35:44):
But you'll think that flight, you'll remember it.
Speaker 6 (35:47):
Do you remember when we spent my weekend one night?
Because you don't get one night at the bed and
I sud buy to because we'll tell you too. At
the Wisconsin Interactive ice Berg Exhibit and Bed.
Speaker 4 (35:59):
And Beck Munch, Larry Mondelo guy is Uh has offering
an observation.
Speaker 6 (36:06):
Is this guy get his own show?
Speaker 4 (36:08):
They might as well have one, He writes, I'm kind
of surprised gerbias so against romance at the bed and
breakfast and lunch. I always thought that Packer remember Abelia
was a great aphrodisiac for cheeseheads.
Speaker 6 (36:21):
Yeah, that was kind.
Speaker 9 (36:24):
Of my thought.
Speaker 6 (36:24):
I'm not anything, damn.
Speaker 9 (36:26):
Okay, what do you what do you want Packer fans
to do.
Speaker 7 (36:30):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (36:31):
You know a lot of people have cheese heads, and
what they doing now that time when the cheesehead is up.
Speaker 4 (36:39):
To them seems kind of bulky. But that's just me,
all right. Can we get to some games?
Speaker 6 (36:45):
They really are? Are they?
Speaker 4 (36:47):
How about some games? Shall we? Even though I'm in
the tank, I went zero and three last week, Guardsy
has slipped by me in the standings. He was, let me,
don't get my records here, two and one, So guards
these twelve and six, I've slipped to eleven and seven.
Gurby was one and two last week and is at
five hundred at nine and nine. Let's start with these
(37:13):
are some good matchups. The Chargers the Vikings next opponent,
are hosting the Indianapolis Colts, and the Chargers, it looks
to me, are favored by one and a half over
maybe the hottest team in all the National Football League, Carl.
Speaker 6 (37:34):
Well. I mean, is not a real easy game because
because Indianapolis is just not behaving like they do and
didn't they didn't you guys like take two of the
offensive linement from them last year? Did you take two
of that? So yeah, figure correct? You have to figure
(37:54):
that they must have had two better ones sitting around there,
so another chief unbelieve. I just Dan, that's how national
football you if you don't. What you don't do is
you don't get too mostly attached. You have to be
when you're an owner or supervisors. Yes, you have to
be able to analyze. Dan, that's what that's what a
(38:16):
good one like. Like our team, we are the best
at that.
Speaker 4 (38:19):
There's no question.
Speaker 6 (38:20):
Here's the thing. Indianapolis is like one of six in
the last seven games, but there are two eight and
one against the spread against the Chargers.
Speaker 7 (38:31):
But the and the.
Speaker 6 (38:32):
Chargers are twelve and six in their last sixteen games
or eighteen. I don't can't add up, but they're they're
against the spread. So I think we'll take the Chargers
and say that, well, it was it was fun Indianapolis,
but you're not sneaking up on a.
Speaker 4 (38:46):
Well I don't think. Yeah. I think that's all well
laid out. Beyond that, I just say the league is weird, right,
and so to assume that, like the Colts are never
going to have another game where they come back to
the pack a little bit all the way to the
Super Bowl, I don't think it's very realistic. Chargers are
at home. I'm gonna I'm gonna agree with Gerby. I'm
gonna take the Chargers to win that game. It's only
a point and a half, Guardie, what do you think?
Speaker 10 (39:11):
Yeah, they just barely beat the Dolphins this last Dolphins.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
I know.
Speaker 9 (39:17):
It was on the road.
Speaker 10 (39:19):
I know we're all Harbor guys though, too. I'm just
gonna I'm gonna zag. I'm gonna say I'm gonna ride
the Daniel Jones train as long as we can ride it.
Speaker 9 (39:27):
I will take the Colts. We did not need it.
Speaker 10 (39:29):
We did not need to pay him extra money or
give him an opportunity to compete for the job. I
will take the Colts on the road. So then it'll
be an angry Chargers club versus the Vikings on Thursday.
Speaker 9 (39:40):
But the Colts win.
Speaker 4 (39:41):
Monday night game is a good one. Lions at home,
favored by six and a half over Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay,
that's a lot of points, Carl, What do you think?
Speaker 6 (39:54):
I don't like?
Speaker 4 (39:57):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (39:59):
What is that?
Speaker 4 (40:00):
I think that? I think there's music being tested at
Guardie's location. He is in position to host or partly
host the pregame show for going to go with.
Speaker 9 (40:11):
Football, i'muting myself when it's not my turn. Don't worry.
Speaker 10 (40:15):
I'm trying to protect you from the music, the Russo
Radio Arena music.
Speaker 6 (40:18):
So go ahead, Carl, Tampa has been playing Beta and
but I don't know it's where again Tampa in Detroit.
I take de Troit.
Speaker 4 (40:36):
I'm going to take the Tampa Bay Tampa Bay Bucks
to make it a good ballgame and at least cover guards.
Speaker 9 (40:43):
Ye too many points, too many points.
Speaker 10 (40:45):
I think the Lions will win, even though they didn't
play great against Kansas City the other night. They've got
some issues obviously, but I think it's just too many points.
I think it's a close game. Lions will win, but
the Bucks will cover.
Speaker 4 (40:57):
The big one is Sunday at noon. I think most
people know the well, no, but it's I don't think
it's the game you're thinking it's going to be. Eagles
are coming to town to take on the.
Speaker 6 (41:09):
As we play that four twenty are you three twenty
five game?
Speaker 4 (41:12):
Anyway? Okay, Eagles are favored on the road. Despite how
badly they've looked played the last couple of weeks, they
remain favored by a point and a half over the
Minnesota Vikings. Carl is this the beginning of the redemption
tour for the Purple or is it the end of
the road.
Speaker 6 (41:29):
This is what we in the bank business them referred
to as free money. That's what this is, is it?
Philadelphia has piss off. They lost two games in a row,
and they're gonna take it out on the miss Uh.
Minnesota at last check can't stop the run at all.
And I told they're gonna get some linebackers back, but
I don't think they can get them all back. And
(41:51):
so I mean, because honestly, your run defense is table.
It's just tamble. And I think you'll scuss on points
but only only has to cover point and a half.
I think guess we call that free money.
Speaker 4 (42:04):
Dan Philadelphia, the Minnesota Vikings, led by Carson Wentz, will
knock off. They will extend the Philadelphia Eagles fans misery
by not only winning, but dominating over the Eagles. I've
got wins on two touchdown passes and he might run
(42:26):
for another one. Vikings prevail at home over the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 6 (42:32):
Guardsy hold on a second, Yeah, he's going to run
it for the one?
Speaker 7 (42:37):
Yeah, coming in the field.
Speaker 6 (42:41):
Well, did you you can see it coming?
Speaker 4 (42:43):
Because exactly. What about Flacco last night on the sprint
option went for twelve yards?
Speaker 6 (42:51):
Yeah, okay, that was fun Pittsburgh. I think it's it's
a weird team.
Speaker 4 (42:56):
That's a bad defense, that's for sure, all right. I
might have taken it a little far, but I'm sticking
with the Vikings to beat the Eagles. Guardie.
Speaker 10 (43:03):
People say we agree too often, Dan, I will say
in this pick, we agree on almost everything. We agree
that the Vikings are going to win. We agree that
there will be a quarterback playing well. We have one
major disagreement. Can you guess what that is? No, Max
Brosmer will come in in the third quarter with the
(43:25):
Vikings trailing. They will trailing, Vikings will be trailing. Brosmer
will come in for an injured Carson Wentz up till
that point had had played well. He will leave the
Vikings on two straight scoring drives. We will somehow stop
Saquon Barkle even though we can't stop the run, and
the Vikings will win with a Will Reiker fifty seven
(43:46):
yard field goal in the final minute to win thirty
to twenty seven.
Speaker 4 (43:51):
How about that? Not how Max Boso, Max Brosmer or
Brosner announcer to Jim Natzy Jim dance. Yeah, it might
be bros. You never heard of them.
Speaker 6 (44:02):
I don't even know who that is.
Speaker 4 (44:04):
He had a good season with the Gophers last year.
Last season.
Speaker 6 (44:09):
Do you watch it?
Speaker 4 (44:10):
Yeah? Do you watch any Big Ten football at all?
Speaker 6 (44:14):
Only the good teams? Dance?
Speaker 4 (44:16):
Wow, that's a shot right there, which.
Speaker 6 (44:18):
Means I'm not watching Wisconsin this year.
Speaker 4 (44:20):
No, that's for sure. Any final thoughts to that of
the weekend, Well, I don't know you somebody just texted
about that, are we or not?
Speaker 6 (44:30):
I don't know. I don't usually you guys had some
sort of a prize.
Speaker 9 (44:34):
Well, that's yeah, we got to look at.
Speaker 4 (44:37):
We either don't have any prize, bothered to tell us
that we do have a prize. It's one or the other.
It's very possive.
Speaker 9 (44:44):
Read the trades, Carl, the trades. Things are tight. Things
are tight.
Speaker 4 (44:47):
And hey, by the way, did you hear about before
you go Gerby? Did you hear about our dairy land
diary earlier in the week.
Speaker 6 (44:56):
No, I don't like leave it on the show.
Speaker 4 (45:00):
Oh you know, well, tell me if you think this
sounds plausible or believable coming out of the state of Wisconsin.
I don't exactly know where it was, but it was
within the state. A group of individuals were trying to
help a friend who had to like whose car was
parked illegally. They tried, they they wanted to move it
(45:22):
to a place where it wouldn't get towed, but unfortunately
none of them could actually get in the car and
drive it because it had one of those interlock cognition
things and none of them were able. But all of
them flunked the test, so they had to actually sort
of like push the vehicle to the proper legal spot.
(45:46):
Does that sound like Wisconsin to you.
Speaker 6 (45:48):
Well, that sounds like good friends to me. Yeah, that sounds.
Speaker 4 (45:53):
Yeah, yeah, loyalty.
Speaker 6 (45:55):
Huh yeah, Well this is a good way. I think
pack are gonna win again this weekend.
Speaker 4 (46:01):
Nobody cares, we're gonna be We're gonna.
Speaker 6 (46:03):
Be everyone cares, Dan we're gonna be a first place
and and I think everybody's gonna be excited and happy.
We're gonna have a great crowd this week Well, not
that much of a crowd. It's only thirty people at
the bed and breakfast and lunch, but it's gonna be great.
You know, one thing, you might just say everybody have
a think about that for your weekend. Let's say you
want and you know what, if you're kind of like
(46:25):
Damn and you like a little romance on the road,
I guess that would work out well.
Speaker 4 (46:30):
The key to the whole the key to this whole thing,
to be honest with you, is I think based on
what you're telling me about the walls, the tissue paper
thin walls, maybe maybe you might want to pipe in
some music. Maybe that would help. That's all I'm saying.
I'm saying, you know, just so that no one here
jazz well, whatever you want, just so that maybe that'll
(46:52):
muffle whatever noise is coming out of the next room.
Speaker 6 (46:57):
Sounds a good idea, possibility, music idea.
Speaker 4 (47:00):
Yeah, I want some. I want a percentage too. We
gotta go. We're very busy, Go pack. That's it. Carl
Gerbischmidt done. Guardsy is not, though he's gonna come back
and give us a little quick mini preview of the
Gophers game tonight against the heavily favored Nebraska Cornhuskers. Will
chick in with Guardsy on that. Prepare for Ben Gesling
(47:23):
at the bottom of the four o'clock up
There's too many of you try. There's far too many
of you that I'm gonna need for you to retard
your anger level a few notches and listen to me.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Can you do that?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
How very interesting?
Speaker 4 (00:43):
You're a true old Gary, aren't you.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
I practice, and I've gotten good sometimes like you went
to went through business.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
But I don't predict it. Nobody does, because it's it's
just wind. It's wind. It blows all over the place.
Someone who will listen to your boring stories. I mean,
you didn't you notice on the plane when you started
talking eventually I started reading the vomit bag. Would you say,
you're completely foolished?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Just I hope, just fifty one who knows.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
One of the many pleasures I associate with doing the
Bumper to Bumper program over the now decades is that
the longer I'm in this chair, the more likely, on
any given day via Once upon a Time, the Inbox
now the brash On Brian Kfan text line, that whatever
(02:07):
opinion I might offer up sooner or later on that day,
someone will push back, which is part of the job.
You'd say, well, that's what you got to accept. People
are gonna respond, They're going to react they're gonna agree,
they're going to disagree, but it's the way they tend
to push back the longer I'm in this chair, and
(02:29):
it usually goes something like this old man on cloud again,
why don't you retire? God year old? Nobody cares, And
to a certain extent, you have to accept that that's
(02:51):
the way it's going to be. I've tried to say gently,
how about you dismiss my opinion on the base on
its merits rather than bringing in the cheap criticism of well,
that's what an old guy or an old gal would say.
(03:12):
I bring all of this up because today I think,
on this edition of Bumper to Bumper, and it's going
to be a short edition two hours, that we should
be toasting the Geezers for all sorts of reasons. And
this has nothing to do with me. I'm not asking
to be toasted. Last night, I don't know how many
(03:35):
of you watched the Thursday night game. You could have
heard it all on the fan, every minute of it.
I watched it. I couldn't take my eyes off of it.
Two Geezer quarterbacks, as most of you know by now,
matched up in a shootout the Pittsburgh Steelers and the
(03:55):
Cincinnati Bengals. Aaron Rodgers forty one, forty They both looked
like they were twenty five years old. Aaron Rodgers at
the on the last play of the game, through the
longest pass in an NFL game in about thirty years
(04:15):
at age forty one, and it was magnificent. And yeah,
I might have trolled a little bit, might have mentioned
he wanted to come here in the case of Rogers,
and immediately was get off your cloud, old man. Nobody
cares what you think. He threw two picks. We beat
the Bengals. Aaron Rodgers didn't beat the Bengals. And I
(04:39):
get the defensiveness. I understand it. You feel vulnerable about
your situation at quarterback right now. That's not the point.
We'll get to that in more detail later. But forty
one and forty put on a show at those ages.
Then I come to find out in the baseball playoffs,
Max Schurezer, who I think is forty one, was brilliant
(05:01):
for the Toronto Blue Jays at least through five and
most of five and two thirds innings to help them
get right back in that series. And the manager comes
to the mound to take the geezer out, and the
geezer says, go back to the dugout bleep you. I'm
(05:22):
fine White A night for the Geezers. And to top
it all off, speaking of Geezers, as many of you
know by now today friend of the show, my former
colleague at the Star Debune Patrick Royci, is celebrating his
(05:44):
eightieth eightieth eightieth birthday. So is it not fair that
we salute If we can't salute the Geezers, now, when
can we? That's my view and I'm going to stick
with it. Between now and five o'clock this evening, the
(06:06):
name of the program is Bumper to Bumper. My name
is Dan Barrero. Guardsy will join a bit later. Kara
Savage is joining us. Now, thank you for coming, Thanks
for having me. I appreciate you being on today's show.
I know you were you're doing double duty today. You
were at Fox nine earlier, Yes it was, and now
you're here, and we've got a powerpack broadcast between now
(06:27):
and five. We've got Picks coming up with Gerby at
three thirty. Then the plan is in fact, Guardsy is
going to be a part of that from the original
bank in Dinky Town. As he prepares for Golden Gopher
pregame show. That's why we're out at five o'clock today,
and then he's going to hang to give us a
little bonus time to talk Gophers versus the Nebraska Cornhuskers,
(06:50):
a game as we said, could be heard on the
on the fan. And then Ben Gestling is scheduled to
join us about four thirty. I can't call Carson Wentz
a geezer. I don't think he's old enough to be
that status. I think he's thirty two years old. Will
you look that up for me? I think he's thirty two.
(07:12):
He's certainly considerably older than JJ McCarthy, who, as I
tried to tell the audience Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday,
was not going to start against the Philadelphia Egos, no
matter how badly the mcgobos wanted it to happen or
(07:34):
the muck bobos, it wasn't going to happen. And it's
not happening. And here's the kicker. As we talked about
Wednesday and Thursday, he ain't the backup either. He is
the emergency number three quarterback. Kevin O'Connell made that official.
I think about two o'clock a little after two. So
(07:57):
if there's an extra bounce in guards ease step, it's
because Max Brosmer is one shoulder tweak away from playing
in his first National Football League game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Because you'll recall Wentz has kind of a wonky left shoulder.
(08:17):
The head coach says, he's fine, or he's fine enough.
He gets hit, though, he gets battered a little bit,
and that's your sequence. The only way JJ McCarthy would
play on Sunday high noon, right here in the fan
is if both of the other quarterbacks are unavailable or
(08:38):
cannot go. It's a remarkable circumstance. It also likely means
that Wentz will start next Thursday, although the head coach
tried really double hard today to lay out how much
good experience reps that JJ McCarthy has had in practice,
(09:03):
especially this week, a little bit last week. Problem is
he's been limited. As recently as yesterday he was listed
as not a full participant, at which point, as I said,
I thought, the debate about who should play becomes immaterial.
Doesn't matter who you think should play. If only one
guy is available to play, then the decision is indeed made.
(09:29):
We found out I think the famous quote the best
ability is availability belongs to Bill Parcells. I don't know
if he stole it from someplace else, but generally it
gets credited to him. So we've had others who have
(09:49):
certainly used it over the years. Bud Grant has used
it with us in this studio. I don't know if
he was stealing it from Bill Parcells. Maybe Bud said
it first, I'm not sure, but as tried as it is,
it applies the whatever your best laid plans are for
(10:10):
handing the keys to this offense to the new kid,
none of that matters if he's not healthy enough to go,
if he's not ready to play, if he is injured.
We have played Vikings have played well regular season seventeen
(10:31):
games last year, five this year. That's twenty two total.
JJ McCarthy has been available for two of the twenty two,
and as I mentioned on the Enough Said program that
we taped earlier today, with the justin guard Natalie Brineger
(10:52):
Fox nine filling in for Lori Fisher, you can argue
he's only actually been available for one of the twenty
two based the way he performed against Atlanta. And again,
I know it's hard to listen to. I know how
many times have I said, if JJ McCarthy were healthy
(11:16):
and by now playing very well to very well or
even reasonably well, it wouldn't matter so much to people
that Daniel Jones has looked brilliant, or that Sam Darnold
has looked very good, or that Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, I know,
(11:37):
two picks, but you try, you try winning with that.
Pittsburgh Steelers defense, for God's sake, have looked as good
as they have. That's what makes McCarthy not being available
stand out. He's playing, and he's playing creditibly. You say, no,
we know we're doing we knew what we were doing
all along. But that's not the backdrop. That's not the landscape.
(12:00):
So this other stuff tends to matter. And I got
to tell you, I think I somebody tweeted it. It
might have been Kevin Seaffert. The Aaron Rodgers I saw
last night. Some of those throws, those were vintage Aaron
Rodgers throws. I mean, I don't think he's looked that
(12:24):
sharp zipping the ball around in years. And we could
have had him, we ultimately chose not to. He wanted
to come here, There's no question about that, and look,
there's still twelve games to go. Well, he's not going
to play Sunday, so eleven, he's not going to play Thursday.
So that probably means he's got ten games to make
people forget all this stuff. And it's possible that he
(12:47):
does exactly that, but that sadly, we warned people in
the summer there was going to be an inherent unfairness
about what was expected to JJ McCarthy right out of
the chute, and now I think it's even been heightened
more because of the three quarterbacks that the Vikings either
had or flirted with in the offseason, all doing as
(13:08):
well as they have done to this point, all of
them obviously relatively speaking, veteran players as well. All right,
let's get our first pause in as I mentioned, picks
with Carl Gerbschmidt at three point thirty guards. He will
apparently participate in that as well. Bradshawn and Brian Kafan
text line is wide open. That number is six four,
(13:32):
six eighty six. Let me know, since I'm trying to
sort of turn this into a salute to the Geezers
Friday on the Bumper and Bumper Show, give me some
other Geezers, we should instead of denigrating just because they
had the temerity the audacity to get old, that we
should be celebrating on this very special occasion. Quick break,
(13:57):
we'll come back and as I said, prepare for the
one and the only Carl Gerbishman at the bottom of
the hour. Ruberta Bumber continues on the fan. Lots of
(14:24):
good texts are coming in on other geezers that we
can hold tall and strong with who we can celebrate,
commemorative prints for them, banners for them as well. We'll
give you some details on that in just a minute.
Guards He will join us during the prediction segment. He
(14:45):
is preparing for Gopher football pregame show, which we'll start
at five o'clock here tonight. That's why we are out early.
A quick question for you, because we've not had a
lot of chance to talk on air. Was it ever
Kara instead of it's Kara, right, it's Kara? Is it ever?
Did you ever think of it? How often you get
(15:08):
called kara? And would you prefer to be called Kara?
Speaker 5 (15:11):
I don't prefer to be called kara, but I do
get called.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
That all the time, and I sometimes.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
I get called up by people that I've known for
too long, or it's like awkward, you know, it's like
and I don't care that much, So sometimes I'll just
let people call me Kara. But then it gets to
the point where it's even more embarrassing.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Yes, that's a tough spot to be in. When do
you bring it to their attention and when do you?
Probably it's probably not worth fighting the battles most needs.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
No, especially if it's not someone that I'm going to
see on the regular, then I'm usually just like whatever.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
You think, Yeah, that's probably fair. It ever works for you.
I wondered if maybe at some point, you know, uh,
you thought when you were younger, maybe it was it
would be even more exotic, you know some right, you know,
I switch it. Yeah, maybe people for the loop.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
I mean people have I've been told someone told me
once that I spelt my name wrong. That's why I
felt with a K and they're like, with a K,
it's Kara. See it's Kara. I was like, well, that's
something you should take up with my parents. That's not
a me thing.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
I didn't know that was a rule neither. I learned
it that day. Yeah, that's very interesting. Lots of good
texts are coming in other Geezers as we attempt to
stand tall for the Geezers who had a great night
last night in football and baseball. Patrick ROYSI turns eighty
years old today, Happy birthday to him. Let me give
(16:32):
you some examples of some of the texts that have
have come in regarding maybe some other nominees that are
all I think, very very good. Dan. Another Geezer who
deserves some props. Paul McCartney, the ultimate Geezer. He's in
town Tonight's the night. I know he's very disappointed because
(16:55):
he I thought quote from him that he thinks this
Nebraska team is finally for real. So give me a
little disappointing for him not to be there. But McCartney
at US Bank tonight eighty three years old. So is
there a better day to celebrate the Geezers than last
night and today here in the Twin Cities. I mean,
(17:15):
come on, Dan, I'm fifty seven years old. So nobody
pulls for the Geezers harder than I do. That's a
young pup. But throwing two picks resulting in a loss
to the putrid Bengals is nothing to write home about.
At least be honest with yourself. That's from That's Mike
flimflam In also known as flim Flam in New York,
(17:36):
or I should say in New Hope. No, I couldn't
disagree with you. More interceptions are bad. But I challenge
you to have watched that game last night and come
away from it thinking that Aaron Rodgers was more the
problem than the solution for the Pittsburgh Steelers with that defense.
I mean, who's the uh who's the analyst?
Speaker 6 (18:02):
Now?
Speaker 4 (18:02):
I actually covered him years ago. He's with the Dallas
Cowboys many many years ago. Who now does he breaks
down film all the time? Baldinger, He laid out that
last field goal winning drive for the Bengals and basically said,
who is anybody guarding? What were the Pittsburgh I think
(18:23):
his exact quote was, what were the Pittsburgh Steelers doing
on defense? On one occasion they covered one receiver and
left the Bengals best receiver opened by himself. I sorry,
you watch that game. The eye test will not fail you.
Rogers had a lot more to do with them being
(18:43):
in the game and being in the position to win
it than to lose it. And it wasn't even close
more Geezer nominees. Salute to Kessie speaking of Geezers, from
John the mail Carrier, almost getting in a brawl but
taking the high road to Glenn Mason, still tossing out
(19:07):
lines like the master swordsman he is. To Luigi for
his upcoming Wild TV analysis for four consecutive games. How
about Lebron James rise three to two? Oh guy, Now
he's starting the season injured, I believe, but his numbers
(19:29):
are He's he's the oldest player in the history. He
will be the oldest player in the history of the league.
I mean, come on, those are all outstanding suggestions as
we continue to try to give the Geezers, especially this day,
their proper due after having a great night last night
as well. And here's another one. Now, I guess we
(19:51):
have to get a ruling on what the dividing line
is between geezer and non geezer. Kurt Signetti, huge success
at MI alma Mater, Indiana University, just got a huge
and obscene contract extension. He's sixty four, I think is
that old enough to be considered a geezer? Probably not,
(20:13):
but it's to the point of the Texter He's not
a young man's coach. You know, we all grow up
thinking you got to get the up and comer, you know,
the brash young coach who's hungry for it, and no,
you can't give it to it. An aging guy at
Indiana University, even he's if he's had success at lower levels,
(20:34):
because those are lower levels. And what has Signetti done.
He has taken about as complete and full advantage of
an opportunity as any geezer coach probably in the history
of college football. All those things I think are true,
so to that extent, and for that reason, I'd have
no problems including Signetti on this very distinguished list. How
(21:00):
about Mike Conley, not weekly but monthly guest on this show,
will be again this year. I already joined us in studio. Now,
he's not a geezer relative to many of these others.
He ain't his fifties, he ain't his sixties, ain't in
his forties. But he's getting long in the tooth for
point guard in the National Basketball Association. And yet the
Wolves are convinced, and he is convinced he can still
(21:22):
play an extremely significant role in getting this team at
least one step closer to the Promised Land. I like
all these these are really really outstanding. I will add
I guess I have to apologize to one of the geezers,
Joe Flacco, because I thought Guardian and I talked him
(21:43):
with this. I thought he was done. I thought Cleveland
got rid of him because he was getting cranky after
having been demoted. And I guess I do have to
factor in that Pittsburgh's defense is dreadful. But this was
a second good game, well, actually good second half last week,
good game last night. The guy who should be wondering
(22:04):
about himself is the head coach at the Cleveland Browns.
How many quarterbacks? If you really think Flacco can sustain this, well,
then why would you trade him in the first place.
And that's not the first quarterback they've turned their back on,
including Baker Mayfield in that regime. So I found it inexplicable.
(22:25):
But he was the same as almost the same as
Aaron Rodgers. He's just flinging the ball all over the
place with absolutely remarkable success. I saw someone who looked
a lot like Max brozmer By a tire iron at
an auto parts store today. Watch out for an I
(22:46):
Tanya moment. I hope that would. I don't think that's
going to happen, but I wouldn't be shocked if Brozmer plays,
because I don't think it's likely that Wentz is one
hundred percent and he takes a battering, and he is
a guy who has gotten hurt a decent amount in
his career. This is, by the way, day number thirty three.
Now I think that JJ McCarthy has been sidelined for
(23:10):
this latest injury as well. Bottom of the hour pause,
Let's come back and prepare for the predictions segment. Gurby
and Guardsy will be also participating from a remote location
University of Minnesota, as I have said, as he prepares
for the Gopher pregame show Gopher Nebraska coming up later tonight.
Here in the Fan, our sorcers Holly, he could go.
Speaker 7 (23:33):
On Suckstown ten.
Speaker 8 (23:35):
He will score his time for the Bumper to Bumper
award winning NFL prediction segments on the Fan that brought
to you by Continental Diamonds Now to.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Help you break down this week's games.
Speaker 8 (23:52):
Here's your favorite NFL wonk, Dan Barrero.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
It is indeed that time again Predictions segment. As I mentioned,
Guestling will join at about four thirty. We're out at
five for the Golden Gopher, a pregame show as they
prepare to take on the Nebraska corn Huskers. Let's say
hi first of all to mister Carl Gerbschmidt. You can
pot him up for me, Thank you very much, Carl,
can you hear us? Okay? That's good here.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
Talking to Carleen. She is really smart, Carleen Is.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
I'm glad you. I'm glad you got her name right
and you're pronouncing it right as well. She knows what
she's doing. It's not her first rode.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
Much smarter than like the other people, like except for
senior producer Brett Blake Mark. Yeah, who I think is
probably the smartest, the smartest guy in the station.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Dave Sinicon. Is you think Dave Sinica's the smartest guy?
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Smartest guy in the DA is a smartest guy. What's
it like when you're in a room with him? You're
not the smartest guy in that room?
Speaker 4 (24:54):
That's a good points. That's the box I just have
to live with. What's humbling? What would I should be?
Before we say hi to guard Zy, give me your favorite.
We're celebrating the Geezer today because they had the well
the Geezer quarterbacks had such a great night last night.
Geezer pitcher had a great night last night. Patrick ROYCEI
(25:16):
turns eighty years old today. He's another Geezer. Paul McCartney,
the Ultimate Geezer, is performing downtown Minneapolis tonight. So who's
give me? Carl Gertschmidt's favorite Geezer?
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Earl is Nicky? Who he's Earl is Nicky. He's a
guy who's at the you mentioned and lunch and he's
asked he's our historian that the.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
Pack of historian. Is he a Geezer and he's lived
to it all? What's that?
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Is he a Geezer? How old is he?
Speaker 6 (25:48):
Eighty four?
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Eighty four? That's geezer. That's Geezer status for sure. That's
the best. I'm shocked you're not naming a former Packer.
Speaker 6 (25:59):
Well, this guy is Well, I'm in a contractual obligation
with Earl right now, so I'm trying to hype up
the the TX that he's given Wisconsin Interactive Ice Bowl
Exhibit bed and breakfast.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
And lunch And is it sold out again this week?
Speaker 9 (26:18):
Well?
Speaker 7 (26:19):
This is this week is the first.
Speaker 6 (26:20):
Well, I'm unfortunately I'm in the office right now, So
I don't know how check in is going so far,
though I have a burner in case Randy needs some help.
So I knew I was gonna be on the phone.
I'm using my normal phone for this.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Is that is that allow use the work? This is
my phone, your phone. I see very good, good connection,
I might add, Guardie, how are things that do you?
Speaker 9 (26:49):
They're great? Little quiet.
Speaker 10 (26:50):
Right now, I'm wondering, is Brett Blakemore at the Bed
and Breakfast to lunch with his gal this week? An invitation?
That's what I'm wondering. As I'm just listening to it.
I forgot it was opening weekend. He said, I don't
know where he is is can you confirm that, Gerby,
do you have a Blake Moore reservations?
Speaker 6 (27:07):
I know no, I don't think so. No. I don't
think he'd be welcome.
Speaker 9 (27:11):
He's got to be there. He's young, and he's young
and in love. I think, well, we.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
Don't need any of that stuff. You know, you got
five minutes, took about five minutes in the bit you
got to that.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
You can't tell people what to do in there in
the privacy their own room.
Speaker 7 (27:30):
I know, Dan, I know, it's just that you will.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
There are some walls that I'm exactly like, you know,
like sound so.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
So you're discouraged.
Speaker 10 (27:42):
That was the whole point of a bed brother. I
thought people be you know, so inspired by all the
great packer memorabilia and their packer fans. I don't know, Sorry, we're.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
Not going to say, hey, knock it off.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
You can do that.
Speaker 6 (27:58):
You know when you're in a place, you know, a
hotel or something like that, and all of a sudden
you hear this on the wall and there the room,
it's like, Okay.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Here's what I'm actually more worried about. You're not gonna
have any of You're not gonna have any of of
Vern's adult films available to people who stay in those rooms?
Are you?
Speaker 6 (28:23):
And that's not Dan, That's not everything that does. People
you should not like say that's what.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Don't stereotype you a filmmaker.
Speaker 6 (28:32):
You can filmmaker say he has made lots of industrial films.
He's he's done documentaries. Yeah, uh, he has done like
industrial films, Like that's the that's the the polite name
for porn films. No, Dan, it's not. It's like if
you're companies like when they do training films and things
(28:54):
like that. You get generally, like guys who've been on
like a sitcom or like a thing TV show will
come in and they'll do the narration.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
Guard, do you remember the film? What was the name of?
Speaker 7 (29:10):
You know?
Speaker 8 (29:10):
Who?
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Does Denise want anybody to know that he knows them?
Speaker 7 (29:17):
Well?
Speaker 6 (29:18):
He's narrated a few things.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
Seriously, that's that's surprised.
Speaker 9 (29:23):
He's a great narrator.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
He's very good, Uh actor. Guards you what was the
name of the film in which was the the lead
character was named Dirk Diggler? What was the name of
that movie? Do you know what I'm talking to? The
film I'm talking about Burt Reynolds. I can't think of
the name of the movie. Somebody will will give it
to me fast here because in that film Burt.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
Gante No.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
But what's interesting about this is Burt Reynolds plays the
big time, h exotic film producer and director and he's
saying similar to what you're saying about. Vern's like, I'm
a filmmaker. You know, I I don't make you know,
I make films. I make motion pictures. I could have
sworn that that's exactly where you got your inspired in
(30:14):
in in protecting Vern.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
Vern does not need my protection, does not? You might need,
you know, like legal protection, but he does not need
my protection.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
What's that supposed to me?
Speaker 9 (30:25):
Nights?
Speaker 4 (30:26):
Yes, Boogie Knights classic film? You ever seen it? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (30:33):
I know the song Boogie Nights?
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Well know that?
Speaker 6 (30:36):
Yeah, on your show you could sing? I think you
know some smitty has got here. You gotta pay licensees.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
If I start saying, did you are you added any
added features to the bed and breakfast? Uh and and
lunch that you're lining up? I mean, is there some
anyone you any more added attractions?
Speaker 7 (30:59):
You?
Speaker 4 (31:00):
You got to try to sweeten it up early and
get the word of mouth out. So what else are
you doing to to sort of give yourselves the best
chance to succeed with this new enterprise?
Speaker 6 (31:10):
Well, Ear has a fairly substantial presentation. He's going to
be done after breakfast every day. And it's a slide show,
like not like a PowerPoint, it's an actual slide.
Speaker 9 (31:23):
It sounds kind of boring.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
You're going to lose people on that.
Speaker 6 (31:26):
Boy, because we play music behind it. So now I've
seen it three times, he's rehearsing it. I kind of
know it, I'm on. But if you if you've not
seen it so much law regarding super Bowl number two,
there's just so much loss story and we have you know,
he talked to people like, uh that was that was
(31:48):
Oakland one right now, I can't I can't keep up,
keep up because one was okay, one with Kansas City.
But he did talk to members of the other two.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
So a lot of supper war too, don't they.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
Yeah, if you want to know how to be a loser, yeah,
go ahead, that's great.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
That stopped very nice, not.
Speaker 6 (32:08):
Very nice to lose. But I don't hear you ripping
their your team.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Do you know the Vikings have not scored a single
point in the first halves of any of those four games.
Speaker 6 (32:19):
Well, I did know that. It's like it's something that
everybody thinks it's kind of funny.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
It's embarrassing, actually is.
Speaker 6 (32:27):
I mean there's one game where you had like two
points at one point.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Yeah, well, I really I think Guardia are both really
uh you know, rooting for you this week and we
hope this thing gets off the ground.
Speaker 6 (32:39):
I mean again, you want to be a paid endorser. No,
I'm not going to be paid.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
Well, we were unpaid. I was an unpaid endorser with
all the online stuff you had from the hay Was
it the hay Ride?
Speaker 6 (32:53):
What was it? That was somebody who looked like you?
Speaker 4 (32:56):
That's a I god forbid? Well, okay, that's you feel
about it. I I I actually should have had attorneys
look into it.
Speaker 6 (33:04):
If you want, I can do the same thing about
like you know, you know, you can have an endorsement.
You could say, no, I really enduring my time at
the at the Wisconsin Interactive Ice Bowl exhibit and bed
and breakfast much.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
I don't lie when I endorse. I'm just saying, did
you know that availability? Availability is the greatest ability? Did
you know that?
Speaker 9 (33:30):
Gerby? I?
Speaker 6 (33:33):
I think I think the ability to warp time in
space is a.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
Now that might be an even better ability as well.
Has the word by the way filtered to you, uh
Gerby on the Vikings quarterback announcement?
Speaker 6 (33:47):
Yeah? And I'll tell you what, damn. It had to
be a really tough choice, wow, between It had to
be a really difficult choice between an injured guy who
has played one quarter of football well professional level and
another guy who's also injured, who basically halfway through every
season self destructs, so I just do what It'd be
(34:09):
a tough fight, that would be a difficult choice, that's
but yeah, that's what you have to put up with.
That's not everybody can have Jordan Love on that team.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
I'm not sure you're going to convince Vikings fans who
are considering the possibility of visiting your new establishment that
you're helping your chances of getting any of those folks
heading your way without accomplish beautiful Dan, so cheap shots
like that.
Speaker 6 (34:37):
Oh, it's just friendly joshing Dan. That's what it is.
Do you know we're gonna have an expert over from
beaver peepers there because this weekend they're doing having a
become a herpetologist. What do you know what that is?
It's not it's not nothing to do with you know
what you think it might be there. It's about being
a terphile.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
So you're the you're the one who's the sicky. We're not.
Speaker 6 (35:01):
What are you talking about, man, It's about it's about herpetology.
Speaker 4 (35:05):
Herpetology. Okay, well, I can't wait. That's one of the
presentations that you're gonna have them.
Speaker 6 (35:11):
That's gonna be let may bring some reptiles over after
after lunch, and then you got to check out because
you don't get to stay here all day.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
I would have just hired Monti Creesan's Traveling Reptile shows
what I'd.
Speaker 9 (35:26):
Have done exactly. Yeah, two dogs. I think he lives
in Hudson.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
Save yourself some.
Speaker 7 (35:33):
Is that come next weekend we what we want to
make this the kind of experience that you will always
think to remember fondly.
Speaker 9 (35:44):
But you'll think that flight, you'll remember it.
Speaker 6 (35:47):
Do you remember when we spent my weekend one night?
Because you don't get one night at the bed and
I sud buy to because we'll tell you too. At
the Wisconsin Interactive ice Berg Exhibit and Bed.
Speaker 4 (35:59):
And Beck Munch, Larry Mondelo guy is Uh has offering
an observation.
Speaker 6 (36:06):
Is this guy get his own show?
Speaker 4 (36:08):
They might as well have one, He writes, I'm kind
of surprised gerbias so against romance at the bed and
breakfast and lunch. I always thought that Packer remember Abelia
was a great aphrodisiac for cheeseheads.
Speaker 6 (36:21):
Yeah, that was kind.
Speaker 9 (36:24):
Of my thought.
Speaker 6 (36:24):
I'm not anything, damn.
Speaker 9 (36:26):
Okay, what do you what do you want Packer fans
to do.
Speaker 7 (36:30):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (36:31):
You know a lot of people have cheese heads, and
what they doing now that time when the cheesehead is up.
Speaker 4 (36:39):
To them seems kind of bulky. But that's just me,
all right. Can we get to some games?
Speaker 6 (36:45):
They really are? Are they?
Speaker 4 (36:47):
How about some games? Shall we? Even though I'm in
the tank, I went zero and three last week, Guardsy
has slipped by me in the standings. He was, let me,
don't get my records here, two and one, So guards
these twelve and six, I've slipped to eleven and seven.
Gurby was one and two last week and is at
five hundred at nine and nine. Let's start with these
(37:13):
are some good matchups. The Chargers the Vikings next opponent,
are hosting the Indianapolis Colts, and the Chargers, it looks
to me, are favored by one and a half over
maybe the hottest team in all the National Football League, Carl.
Speaker 6 (37:34):
Well. I mean, is not a real easy game because
because Indianapolis is just not behaving like they do and
didn't they didn't you guys like take two of the
offensive linement from them last year? Did you take two
of that? So yeah, figure correct? You have to figure
(37:54):
that they must have had two better ones sitting around there,
so another chief unbelieve. I just Dan, that's how national
football you if you don't. What you don't do is
you don't get too mostly attached. You have to be
when you're an owner or supervisors. Yes, you have to
be able to analyze. Dan, that's what that's what a
(38:16):
good one like. Like our team, we are the best
at that.
Speaker 4 (38:19):
There's no question.
Speaker 6 (38:20):
Here's the thing. Indianapolis is like one of six in
the last seven games, but there are two eight and
one against the spread against the Chargers.
Speaker 7 (38:31):
But the and the.
Speaker 6 (38:32):
Chargers are twelve and six in their last sixteen games
or eighteen. I don't can't add up, but they're they're
against the spread. So I think we'll take the Chargers
and say that, well, it was it was fun Indianapolis,
but you're not sneaking up on a.
Speaker 4 (38:46):
Well I don't think. Yeah. I think that's all well
laid out. Beyond that, I just say the league is weird, right,
and so to assume that, like the Colts are never
going to have another game where they come back to
the pack a little bit all the way to the
Super Bowl, I don't think it's very realistic. Chargers are
at home. I'm gonna I'm gonna agree with Gerby. I'm
gonna take the Chargers to win that game. It's only
a point and a half, Guardie, what do you think?
Speaker 10 (39:11):
Yeah, they just barely beat the Dolphins this last Dolphins.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
I know.
Speaker 9 (39:17):
It was on the road.
Speaker 10 (39:19):
I know we're all Harbor guys though, too. I'm just
gonna I'm gonna zag. I'm gonna say I'm gonna ride
the Daniel Jones train as long as we can ride it.
Speaker 9 (39:27):
I will take the Colts. We did not need it.
Speaker 10 (39:29):
We did not need to pay him extra money or
give him an opportunity to compete for the job. I
will take the Colts on the road. So then it'll
be an angry Chargers club versus the Vikings on Thursday.
Speaker 9 (39:40):
But the Colts win.
Speaker 4 (39:41):
Monday night game is a good one. Lions at home,
favored by six and a half over Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay,
that's a lot of points, Carl, What do you think?
Speaker 6 (39:54):
I don't like?
Speaker 4 (39:57):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (39:59):
What is that?
Speaker 4 (40:00):
I think that? I think there's music being tested at
Guardie's location. He is in position to host or partly
host the pregame show for going to go with.
Speaker 9 (40:11):
Football, i'muting myself when it's not my turn. Don't worry.
Speaker 10 (40:15):
I'm trying to protect you from the music, the Russo
Radio Arena music.
Speaker 6 (40:18):
So go ahead, Carl, Tampa has been playing Beta and
but I don't know it's where again Tampa in Detroit.
I take de Troit.
Speaker 4 (40:36):
I'm going to take the Tampa Bay Tampa Bay Bucks
to make it a good ballgame and at least cover guards.
Speaker 9 (40:43):
Ye too many points, too many points.
Speaker 10 (40:45):
I think the Lions will win, even though they didn't
play great against Kansas City the other night. They've got
some issues obviously, but I think it's just too many points.
I think it's a close game. Lions will win, but
the Bucks will cover.
Speaker 4 (40:57):
The big one is Sunday at noon. I think most
people know the well, no, but it's I don't think
it's the game you're thinking it's going to be. Eagles
are coming to town to take on the.
Speaker 6 (41:09):
As we play that four twenty are you three twenty
five game?
Speaker 4 (41:12):
Anyway? Okay, Eagles are favored on the road. Despite how
badly they've looked played the last couple of weeks, they
remain favored by a point and a half over the
Minnesota Vikings. Carl is this the beginning of the redemption
tour for the Purple or is it the end of
the road.
Speaker 6 (41:29):
This is what we in the bank business them referred
to as free money. That's what this is, is it?
Philadelphia has piss off. They lost two games in a row,
and they're gonna take it out on the miss Uh.
Minnesota at last check can't stop the run at all.
And I told they're gonna get some linebackers back, but
I don't think they can get them all back. And
(41:51):
so I mean, because honestly, your run defense is table.
It's just tamble. And I think you'll scuss on points
but only only has to cover point and a half.
I think guess we call that free money.
Speaker 4 (42:04):
Dan Philadelphia, the Minnesota Vikings, led by Carson Wentz, will
knock off. They will extend the Philadelphia Eagles fans misery
by not only winning, but dominating over the Eagles. I've
got wins on two touchdown passes and he might run
(42:26):
for another one. Vikings prevail at home over the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 6 (42:32):
Guardsy hold on a second, Yeah, he's going to run
it for the one?
Speaker 7 (42:37):
Yeah, coming in the field.
Speaker 6 (42:41):
Well, did you you can see it coming?
Speaker 4 (42:43):
Because exactly. What about Flacco last night on the sprint
option went for twelve yards?
Speaker 6 (42:51):
Yeah, okay, that was fun Pittsburgh. I think it's it's
a weird team.
Speaker 4 (42:56):
That's a bad defense, that's for sure, all right. I
might have taken it a little far, but I'm sticking
with the Vikings to beat the Eagles. Guardie.
Speaker 10 (43:03):
People say we agree too often, Dan, I will say
in this pick, we agree on almost everything. We agree
that the Vikings are going to win. We agree that
there will be a quarterback playing well. We have one
major disagreement. Can you guess what that is? No, Max
Brosmer will come in in the third quarter with the
(43:25):
Vikings trailing. They will trailing, Vikings will be trailing. Brosmer
will come in for an injured Carson Wentz up till
that point had had played well. He will leave the
Vikings on two straight scoring drives. We will somehow stop
Saquon Barkle even though we can't stop the run, and
the Vikings will win with a Will Reiker fifty seven
(43:46):
yard field goal in the final minute to win thirty
to twenty seven.
Speaker 4 (43:51):
How about that? Not how Max Boso, Max Brosmer or
Brosner announcer to Jim Natzy Jim dance. Yeah, it might
be bros. You never heard of them.
Speaker 6 (44:02):
I don't even know who that is.
Speaker 4 (44:04):
He had a good season with the Gophers last year.
Last season.
Speaker 6 (44:09):
Do you watch it?
Speaker 4 (44:10):
Yeah? Do you watch any Big Ten football at all?
Speaker 6 (44:14):
Only the good teams? Dance?
Speaker 4 (44:16):
Wow, that's a shot right there, which.
Speaker 6 (44:18):
Means I'm not watching Wisconsin this year.
Speaker 4 (44:20):
No, that's for sure. Any final thoughts to that of
the weekend, Well, I don't know you somebody just texted
about that, are we or not?
Speaker 6 (44:30):
I don't know. I don't usually you guys had some
sort of a prize.
Speaker 9 (44:34):
Well, that's yeah, we got to look at.
Speaker 4 (44:37):
We either don't have any prize, bothered to tell us
that we do have a prize. It's one or the other.
It's very possive.
Speaker 9 (44:44):
Read the trades, Carl, the trades. Things are tight. Things
are tight.
Speaker 4 (44:47):
And hey, by the way, did you hear about before
you go Gerby? Did you hear about our dairy land
diary earlier in the week.
Speaker 6 (44:56):
No, I don't like leave it on the show.
Speaker 4 (45:00):
Oh you know, well, tell me if you think this
sounds plausible or believable coming out of the state of Wisconsin.
I don't exactly know where it was, but it was
within the state. A group of individuals were trying to
help a friend who had to like whose car was
parked illegally. They tried, they they wanted to move it
(45:22):
to a place where it wouldn't get towed, but unfortunately
none of them could actually get in the car and
drive it because it had one of those interlock cognition
things and none of them were able. But all of
them flunked the test, so they had to actually sort
of like push the vehicle to the proper legal spot.
(45:46):
Does that sound like Wisconsin to you.
Speaker 6 (45:48):
Well, that sounds like good friends to me. Yeah, that sounds.
Speaker 4 (45:53):
Yeah, yeah, loyalty.
Speaker 6 (45:55):
Huh yeah, Well this is a good way. I think
pack are gonna win again this weekend.
Speaker 4 (46:01):
Nobody cares, we're gonna be We're gonna.
Speaker 6 (46:03):
Be everyone cares, Dan we're gonna be a first place
and and I think everybody's gonna be excited and happy.
We're gonna have a great crowd this week Well, not
that much of a crowd. It's only thirty people at
the bed and breakfast and lunch, but it's gonna be great.
You know, one thing, you might just say everybody have
a think about that for your weekend. Let's say you
want and you know what, if you're kind of like
(46:25):
Damn and you like a little romance on the road,
I guess that would work out well.
Speaker 4 (46:30):
The key to the whole the key to this whole thing,
to be honest with you, is I think based on
what you're telling me about the walls, the tissue paper
thin walls, maybe maybe you might want to pipe in
some music. Maybe that would help. That's all I'm saying.
I'm saying, you know, just so that no one here
jazz well, whatever you want, just so that maybe that'll
(46:52):
muffle whatever noise is coming out of the next room.
Speaker 6 (46:57):
Sounds a good idea, possibility, music idea.
Speaker 4 (47:00):
Yeah, I want some. I want a percentage too. We
gotta go. We're very busy, Go pack. That's it. Carl
Gerbischmidt done. Guardsy is not, though he's gonna come back
and give us a little quick mini preview of the
Gophers game tonight against the heavily favored Nebraska Cornhuskers. Will
chick in with Guardsy on that. Prepare for Ben Gesling
(47:23):
