Speaker 1 (00:00):
Fan, Good morning, Welcome back to nine to noon. It
is time for bikes Bites, Bites, Btes Bikes Bites brought
to you by Thousand Hills Lifetime Grazed Grass Fed be

(00:22):
Proud sponsors Gophers Athletics and they're Clearwater, Minnesota based company.
So thank you a thousand Hills, thank you to the
Minnesota Vikings four and seventeen eight and three Seahawks getting
after it a lumin field Sunday afternoon. But I do
want to look back before I look forward. Matt Daniels,
we were talking about it yesterday. We get ko at
(00:43):
eleven o'clock, which was always good. And then maybe we
can check in with b flow Flores on the presser
side of things at TCO on Tuesdays. We didn't get
to hear for Matt Daniels, so I found a couple
of interesting bits I'd like to play.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
First.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Matt Daniels talking about the Miles Price muff on Sunday
at Lambell.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Bad bad bounce of the ball.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
But you know Miles has to really protect himself along
with protecting his teammates and.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Just get out of the way. You know, he can easily.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Just run that gunner off to the sideline because his
responsibility was just the front and returner up in an instance,
and you know, Miles just has to have better awareness
of where the ball hit at and you know, obviously
did kind of take an awkward bounce for us there,
But we just have to remove ourselves out of that
in that situation in general, just out of Harn's way
(01:33):
from being able to for that ball to really kind
of hit us in that situation right there. And I
totally get it. You know, Miles had good intent of
really just trying to hit that gunner.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Again, it's a divisional game.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
You're trying to save every blade of grass that you
can and hope that by hitting that gunner you prevent
him from being able to down the football if it
does end up kind of taking a good bounce for them.
And so it was good intent, but just a mental
error on his end. He just has to get out
of the way along.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yeah, good tent, but a mental error on his part.
That's kind of how we have framed that up in
our head. You know, frustrating thing about a four win team.
There's a lot of things to talk about. Of course,
QB maybe atop the heap of to do or to
change related items, but special teams just kind of in
some moments disorganized. Here he is talking about the was
(02:20):
it twelve men? Was an eleven men? What happened there
with Ivan Pace in the time out?
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yeah, so there was just a miscommunication up in the
press box. So we have a coach up in the
box that's responsible for counting numbers. We asked that we
have eleven, they communicated that we had twelve, and yeah,
so you know, we counted the end he said, yeah,
we have twelve, and so as a result, you know,
usually what happens is is Ivan is actually the one
(02:45):
responsible for counting, and if he ever feels like there
is twelve people on the field, or if he counts
twelve people, he is the one that runs off the field.
And so Ivan wasn't really run off the field, but
we were saying that there was twelve on So there
was just a little confusing there, and you know, you
rather just go and call the time out there rather
than it it resulting independent you got twelve people on
the field, which he ended up being a first down.
(03:06):
So it was just a miscommunication from a coaching standpoint,
that's how they would.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Can you repeat the part of this stuff where you
said all about things?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
So that was a lot. Well, I really like Matt Daniels.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
However, if you watch the video back on that and
you listen to that as you just heard it, you
can catch it on the YouTube Vikings dot com.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
He was kind of embarrassed by the whole thing like it.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
It just felt like kind of like a moment where
I mean, we compensate a guy to count whether it's
eleven or twelve. He miscounted, and then I got the
cat on the field, that's his job is to count,
and we miscounted, but he wasn't running off, So then
I think we told him to run off, but there
was eleven the whole time. Now somebody has to tell
(03:51):
the coach that there's twelve even though there's eleven. So
now he's running down the field to call a time out. Wow,
just to discombobbylation of things in moments like that, it
just did. It's happening too often, you could say, for
for our favorite football team.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Well, the the the the penalty. Excuse me, the the muff,
I guess I don't like calling it a muff pon
really a muff it's not.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
It's like a glanced off price.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
But I'm glad Matt laid that out the way he did,
because you know, I had a I had a conversation
yes Monday morning, excuse me, Monday after the show with
you know, somebody who knows more about football than us
and had heard or seen on social media the uh
the call of a highlight, and I'm like, you know,
what are you doing? I mean, just just get away
(04:39):
from it. And somebody respectfully disagreed with me and said,
well you when they started with you do know well
that that has a little here's the reality to it.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah, sit down, get a pen and a pad, and
I'm going to inform you.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
But they contacted me, so I respectfully listened and then
I said, okay, I mean I can understand that however
for me, and it doesn't mean it's right there.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
There is nothing.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
That separates whether the thing stops at the five or
the four or the one. Okay, if you start at
the one, that sucks. If you start at the five,
that ain't great. It ain't the one. I understand it,
and I get the pickoff the gunner bit. However, what
I can tell you is an oblong object taking an
(05:27):
obtuse bounce is in vogue and that's why it's shaped
that way. And what I can tell you is ten
of ten bad is when it hits your guy and
you and the other team gets it at the five
in a one score game where you're having trouble scoring,
where my favorite team's having trouble scoring.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
And then O'Connell with this press conference, let you I
think later that day or than No, it was the
day before, and I was kind of playing off that
where he's like at paraphrasing. We brought this up yesterday
with x's and o's. The way things currently are constructed,
our margin four error is a razor thin yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
And Daniels even said our margin for ara is none
with this unit, right.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
So if it's razor thin or none with one third
of the bit, then that means scatter, scatter, scatter, as
Bursa said, you just got to run as far away
from it as you can.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yeah. So that was my take on it.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Is that, Okay, I mean, I yes, I know that
we're talking about twelve feet here from the five to
the one. Yes, it does make a difference, but you
know what makes a giant difference. Giving them the ball
at the five, they score, make it a two score game,
and your margin for air's razor thin, specifically offensively. So
then we fast forward to Monday night and there was
(06:44):
a Carolina Panthers punch that bounced at about the seven
and Juwan Jennings was I think it was Jennings. Somebody
was flying down for the Niners, and the Panthers guy
ran away from it and just let it bounce go
into the end zone, which it didn't, and he ran
to take on I think Jennings or somebody for the Niners.
(07:07):
And as the player angled in toward the ball, the
Panther took off the other way and just ran straight
up the field because he didn't want to be blocked
into the ball. Didn't want because the ball takes bad bounces.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Man.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Yeah, and just because John Harball, one of the great
special teams coaches in the history of the NFL, John
Harbaugh at Tall have established over the years, you gotta
pick off the gunner in all circumstances. It doesn't mean
it's not amendable in certain circumstances with certain players. Are
they new, are they undrafted? Have they done it in
(07:42):
practiced before? What's the context here?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
I need?
Speaker 4 (07:45):
I need some context with the individual, the situations, how
it's taught and everything.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
And I have a right to disagree.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
And I disagreed, and Matt Daniels kind of agreed with
what I was saying.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
It was the first phone call we took during fan
line too, and we were getting a ton of pushback
on it and Ron, you know, rot player was doing
the right thing. I disagree with him a little bit,
but it ended up being a three to four minute chat. Yeah,
and I'm getting text messages stop blaming the game on
Miles Price?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Is that which I wasn't doing?
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I know I heard it, you weren't, but it was
so I started getting that. And I know people have
their preferred topics, and QB was was the preferred topic
by most. But you know, catastrophic, that is it was
the game of the coach's words. You you are at
ten six and everything is tenuous with this team. You
get off the field, it was like a five to
six play drive by the pack. You get off the
(08:35):
field in a ten six game, early third quarter and
your offense is going to get back on the field
and that happens.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
That is brutal. We what did you You laid out something?
Speaker 4 (08:45):
It was sad, but it's accurate about like I said,
the Vikings haven't had an interception in more than a month.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Now they have three.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Yeah, it's two takeaways on the defense in the last
eight games.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Okay, is it two takeaways period? Yes? Or okay?
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Well, I'm really really rooting for the special teams to
cause a turnover in this game and recover it. I mean,
we're always rooting for Miles Price to get to the
end zone on a punt for the first time since
twenty sixteen. Main Man Marcus against Houston a US Bank Stadium.
I want to see a punch out, man, I want
to see something. Just the special teams needs to splash
(09:21):
this game, like we need to breathe. We're going to
give banks to the Minnesota Viking special teams. They're going
to catch a stray of kindness here with the recognition
being Will Reikert is one of three kickers in the
NFL to make all of his extra points and like
only miss one or two field goals and yeah, I
think he's.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Eight to ten from fifty plus and that's all he's
missed or something.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
There we go wires with dick Er the kicker and
some other guy. So therefore that's been fantastic. Hey plus
size Ryan Wright had he had a touch back a
couple of games ago.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Is only this season.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
But when your margin for error is a razor thin,
everybody's saying it, how badly do you need seventeen to
kick the oblong object out of bounds inside the ten,
which he did twice last game. So and ty Felton
and Tavi Or Thomas's work as gunners has been really
really good. The punk coverage has been really really good.
(10:18):
But it's all going to be left in the wake
of a keen turn of verbal speed. When you run
into a vault of five and the team people want
to beat the most opens up a two score lead.
Now everybody knows you can't win, and that's going to
be magnified, and I understand it. But a stray of
kindness goes towards the Minnesota Viking Special teams into this
(10:39):
Super Chickens game. Let's make something happen. It doesn't have
to be a touchdown. Be nice if it was a touchdown.
Let's let's punch the ball away. Let's let's up the
peanutch out the peanut punch. Yes, please, the peanut punch
an honor of Peanut Tillman this weekend.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
On the Fien spikes ike bikes.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
It's basically being universally reported at this point it's very
unlikely now, not just that JJ McCarthy's in the concussion protocol.
The vibe is it's very unlikely that McCarthy will play,
so it'll be Max Brosmerk.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I got twelve on the game calling depth chart.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
And I felt I listened to West Phillips yesterday and
he's got two audio clips here, one on JJ one
on Sam Darnald that I think are very interesting. First
Sam Darnald and just what he was like here and
now what he's doing with Seattle.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Sam.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
I think you kind of remember from the start, we
kind of we're out there and some of the comments
that we're all saying is this guy is really a
high level thrower of the football. He's a really talented passer.
And then there was an athletic ability that he had
shown over the years. He's strong, and I think he
(11:53):
just needed me the right place, the right fit, the
right opportunity, And I think, you know, sometimes players aren't
the player that they they end up being. You know,
it's it's not a knock on the Jets. When he
first went and went in the league. You know, I
don't know that he was that player. Then players learned
(12:17):
lessons in this league. They they grow, they mature if
given an opportunity to stick around, and some of them
just just need a little bit more time.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
So that's uh, that's Wes Phillips talking to the athletic ability,
terrific passer.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Of the football.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
We got the full time package handel dear friend of
mine Lonnie Anderson in studio taking in the show for
the first time. And I mean he's so we'll just
hit some stuff for you.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Okay, Okay, what you just said.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
He that's with the button bar everyone anyway, I'm sorry, Well, if.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
You got to think about it, he spent his career
trying to find like obscure side doors of office building
and things.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
But he's an all access type of guy.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Package Handler is going to try and figure out the
button bar when he gets a chance.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
To come in studio, got Archie trying to bite on
his favorite ankle bone. Oh my goodness, he sees the
he sees the button bar and it's like audio manna
from button bar.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Dum h. So so you hear.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Wes Phillips talking about Sam Darnold, the athleticism, elite passer
of the ball, needed right place, right opportunity. Maybe not
the player he was when he was drafted by the Jets,
And I find that interesting then, as I believe it
was a question before actually he was offering some thoughts
on how the team or what the can what the
team can do in terms of managing JJ McCarthy's perspective
(13:42):
here in twenty twenty five with how things have gone.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Yeah, I mean, we'll do what we can to help
him through that. But a lot of a lot of
just being a professional athlete is is you know, being
able to handle the ups and downs and and being
mentally tough, and being able to block out and and
not not look at the outside you know, comments, the
(14:08):
social media, all the stuff. I mean, that's that's something
I'm very conscious of as a coach. I mean, there's
just gonna be a lot of opinions out there a
lot of negativity, especially when you're not winning as many
games as you like. So you got to you got
to put all that out of your head and focus
(14:29):
on really what you can control, and that's going to
work and improving at your craft or becoming a better
coach day in and day out, all those things that
you can control that you you have a direct impact on.
And if you can do that, then over time. Uh,
(14:50):
smart people who work hard and have talent are going
to get better over time.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
So I believe that.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
And uh, I think that's that's where JJ the path
that he's on.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
That that is a ten of ten A plus Vike bite.
Every single thing he said is so accurate analogous to
this day and age A low key, low key passive aggressive. Hey,
I hope a certain somebody hears this when I'm saying it.
Oh yeah, that was terrific, well done, Wes.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Vikes bites and it's it's you don't I mean, I
can't say that you don't hear that often, but and
and certainly by all accounts, I think passive aggressive is
the right way to put it. But in some ways,
from at least a presser perspective, pretty forthright, like talking
about like the mentality of the kid QB is is
he putting this franchise on his shoulders? How much is
(15:47):
he potentially listening to the outside noise manufactured in the
IMG factory. Title winning kid at Michigan And now he's
here and he's facing the first adversity maybe of his
football life.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
From everybody, everywhere, every minute of the day.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
And how does he turn it off? Does he potentially well,
I shouldn't even say potentially, based on the audio I
just heard, maybe that needs to be turned off.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
That needs to be altered.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
And so the ability to potentially sadly via concussion, the
ability to kind of maybe chill and turn that off
even for a week and watch Max Brozmer do his thing,
I think that could be a positive.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
The answer, I believe is somewhere in the middle. And
maybe I'm too far. You knows, as a father of
a twenty two year old and Nordo being a father
also parents out there, you know, maybe I'm too far
on one side. Like twenty two year olds who are
light on negative life experiences with stuff like this, yeah,
(16:50):
well they get a chance to you know, they it's
not bad to step off to the side for a second,
clear your mind, reorganize your protocol and your procedure and
how you want to go about things. Okay, so maybe
I'm too far on that side. But the other side
is suck it up, Sally, rub some dirt on it.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Be tough. You're making a lot of money.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
To who much is given, much is expected. You're wheat
get out there, and you're letting down the locker room.
That's awful. So the answer is somewhere in the farnamentle right,
and and I think the the common thread answer just
involves one word maturity.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Yeah, maturation experience.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
And it is it is kid specific, I'll be honest.
I And the reason I've been saying if he's healthy
enough to play, he needs to get every rep. I
am closer to the suck it upside than I am
to the kick gloves. And we just need to work
our way through this because it's not about money he
makes or anything like that. This is his professional opportunity
and what has happened around this franchise, and you know
(17:54):
he has to mentally figure out how to manage that
stress and the and the again, the opportunity unity matched
with the growing pains associated with it. I am more
on the suck it upside than I am on the
other end of the spectrum. But whatever, you know, whether
it's the team, I think a lot of this is
on him as an adult. I'm also not ready, of course,
to say through six games, well this kid can't play,
(18:17):
and just assume that if he's going to figure it out,
he's got to go to another team. We're absolutely done
with him when this concussion. When he clears the protocol,
he's got to be back on the field. That's how
I look at it. But I do have an empathy
in a respect that the mental burdens are clear and
potentially impacting what we're seeing.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
And I don't have an answer with it, simply because
despite knowing the guy quite well and knowing the situation,
what I think is pretty well, there's so much more
with something like this that people see, People endore that
he's not playing. If he doesn't play, it's because of
(18:56):
a concussion, And when he has the next opportunity to play,
I would fully expect him to play. So I guess
I'm in lockstep if I have to be in lockstep
with an opinion on this thing. But if he doesn't
and I find out because he just needs a mental
break for a second, maybe another game. Yeah, really, like
I'm going to get mad at that. You got to
(19:16):
be kidding me, No chance I get mad at that
with things I've seen in my life with me and
with my kids. And we're also thinking we're also talking
potentially one week now, if it's longer.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
That's that's a completely different story.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
It is a different conversation, and bottom line, tear it
up this week in Max Brosmer. Make the conversation next
week difficult, difficult for everybody involved.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Yeah, and that's the thing is the focus has been
so heavily placed on McCarthy and yes, I want that
kid to play. However, what an awesome opportunity for Max Brosmer.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Now, I was texting with somebody last night.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Yeah, what what if Jefferson goes one seventy five and two?
Oh my goodness, what win or lose? Beth Jefferson is
one seventy five and two.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
It's simultaneously what makes this thing fun what we do,
and then also makes you go insane. The week to
week reaction from even you know, a McCarthy who was okay.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
But not game changingly amazing in the ford Field game.
But you won.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
You know, he's NFC Player of the Week after the
Bears game Week one, and then we see what we
saw on the Falcons game see in reactions crazy but.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
Of course, and that's what makes us and a fan
and what makes us fans is it's age old. But
you know what JJ McCarthy did in the victory at
ford Field, the exact same thing we just watched Jordan
Love do at lambeau Field. Yeah, he managed the game
(20:46):
and followed the plan and left with the money. Yes, great,
that's I mean Packer fans got all wound up within
the last two years when I'm like, Jordan Loves a
game manager and in that Niners playoff game and he
decided to stop managing the game and go with the
Jordan Love will.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
He threw it right to dray Greenlawn. The season was over.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
So it's there's nothing wrong with being that player or person,
nothing wrong with it. You can win a ton of games, yeap.
So I understand what you're saying about the Lions victory.
But if that's who the quarterback is complimented by a
running game that has some umph and some receivers who
(21:26):
can do some things after catch and get deep on
you occasionally, you know, and get into a tack mode
like O'Connell's been talking about lately. Well, that's the lot
in life as of right now, But it doesn't mean
in a month it's going to be the lot in life.
Because somebody's so young in inexperience, maybe they exponentially improve,
(21:46):
or they regress, or they regress or Max Brosmer goes
for two seventy five to three and zero play action
has merit. Jefferson one seventy five and two. How about this?
And I'm gonna bring this up with Softy in a
half hour from Seattle, kJ are really good on the radio.
He joins at eleven. Uh, the coach for the Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
You don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Him, but he's your brother, Mike, Mike McDonald, Yeah, twelve
and two on the road. Six and eight at home, Yeah,
I mean, what goes into that? Just a weird split?
Six and eight at home. I mean six wins, eight
losses at home. One of the Minnesota Vikings last year.
He's Jefferson, He's about to be six and nine.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Seven goes in for Ty Felton punches it loose.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Oh, it's picked up by Tyler Batty and there he
goes Tyler Batty's loose.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Oh my goodness. Since that the.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Twenty ten touchdown on the Minnesota Vikings as ten and
a half point underdogs astoundingly have taken a seventeen point lead,
let's know, Tyler's pause, how's the talkback machine?
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Did that? Did the gizzard or give thanks? Big? Did
it click at all?
Speaker 5 (22:54):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (22:54):
I got, I got plenty of Yeah. Good.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
We're gonna run a lot of those back around the corner.
You're listening to nine to noon o KFM. Alright, now,
we're gonna fire these talkbacks off for a little while.
(23:18):
And as we mentioned earlier, we are looking to give
thanks and and or hear why gizzards are delivered? And
a question first maybe we'll pay it off later. Is
the gross gizzard a misunderstood facet of the turkey, that slimy,
rubbery giblet some pretend they enjoy to fly in the
(23:41):
face of the crowd. Just just ponder that is the gizzard.
I mean, I've eaten the gizzard before.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
I don't like it.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Here's the breakdown, just quickly, the gizzard is an organ
found in the digestive track of turkeys, chickens, and other birds.
Shape like a small it acts as a grinding mill
to break down food. Since birds don't have teeth, the
gizzard contains strong muscles that contract to pulverized food, along
(24:12):
with small stones and grint that bird swallow. This mechanical
digestion turns whole grain, seeds, insects, and other prey into
smaller particles the bird can fully digest. Yeah, I don't
want to eat the sack. Yeah, I don't want to eat. Well,
(24:34):
now can you repeat that again? If I pull the
audio out, I don't want to eat the small sack
that is the gizzard shape. I don't want to eat
other prey that has been broken down and subsequently is
digested into something called the gizzard. During processing, the gizzard
is removed with other organs like the heart and liver
(24:55):
and group together as giblets. So that's the gizzard with
its gross, slimy, rubbery texture.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Well, I think it was. At one point in time.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
People, you know everything but the bones, right, I mean,
you didn't want to waste anything inside that bird.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
But now you know we can, and I'm not negative
on liver, like liver and onions. I mean some people
are super negative on liver. I mean, it's not like that.
And uh, what's the bronzechwager or whatever it's called.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
The Oh yeah, isn't that just liver worst? Now?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Liver worst? Thank y? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Or sardines, you know, some some unique items that people
generally don't eat.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Now we're getting into some hubble beginning and stuff here
as well, I.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Know, I mean, yeah, we can talk about meal, and
I mean, why did I eat pop tarts that were
cold all of my life because we didn't have a toaster.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
So therefore, I like to chew.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
The crust off the outside, save the frosting part with
like the strawberry inside and then yeah, the crust part
at one point in my life was the meal and
the other part of it was the dessert.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Yeah, and that's the end of the story.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
I ate a certain way growing up that has me
eating every meal now like it's my last.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
Meal, like when I cut loose occasionally with like okay,
well for that person, spam is fine dining. Well, I
get a scalp from the con Why because back in
fan Cato days.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Spam was fine dining right out of the can. Are
you kidding me? Stop knocking spam. I absolutely love spam. Man.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
I used to fry Balooney a lot. Yeah, it's delicious.
Fry Boloney's the bomb.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Do you have the little pimento like the pimento loaf?
Did you ever do that? No? But I do now
I will now terrific.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
So y'all can have the gizzard and the slimy rubbery
texture and the little gross thing. That's great, but we're
going to get the negative side of the talkback equation
is giving of the gizzard, yes, indeed, or giving of
the banks sin here they are.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
Hey, good morning, Pa, Good morning everybody. I just want
to take this moment to give thanks. I don't know
if I should think Chris Finch. I don't know if
I should take God himself. But I am thankful for
nas Read. I repeat nas Read. He is a weapon.
He is the pride of Minnesota. And I swear I'll
(27:14):
get that nas Read tattoo my man.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Well done, Thanks for getting the bit, thanks for sharing
the positivity. And if you're giving the gizzard to somebody
or something, that's fine too. It's a radio show man,
you know, we're not. Hopefully nobody takes things too personally.
I know we certainly don't.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
What's next, Hey baa Nordo.
Speaker 7 (27:34):
Unfortunately I got a gross gizzard for you all. Every
team in this state except for the while they're on
a rough patch.
Speaker 8 (27:42):
Vikings.
Speaker 7 (27:43):
Yeah, we've talked about that enough. Timberwolves, two terrible losses,
and it isn't gonna be easy tonight. Say we're gonna
get whooped by it the Thunder. Unfortunately, the Frost lost
their home opener, the Loon's lost in the playoffs, and yeah,
the Twins are gonna suck next year.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
Sorry, Happy and TJ squad couldn't hit field goals and
gave up five hundred some ody yards of offense to
a team that ain't got a great offense.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Oh that is This is Gizzard Radio.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
And given the Gizzard Radio, and given the Gizzard dub
is more more love for the Wolves.
Speaker 6 (28:20):
Hey pa, Hey guys, Jack from Saint Louis Parks here,
I was just thinking what I'm thankful for, and I
got to give a big shout out to my guy,
Joe Ingles. I'd say he's really the beat of the Wolves.
Everybody says Anthony Edwards Trades a guy on the bench
hyping up everybody else more than Joe Ingles. I just
wanted to shout him out. Thanks guys, God bless.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
You, God bless you too.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Thank you for the peace of kindness the day in
front of Thanksgiving astray of kindness.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Well you know Jack, Actually Jack was the nas red
guy too. I don't look at the names until I
just looked at it. Now.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Wait, my man came in twice.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
I think he came in twice the first since we're
the only show that plays talkbacks that outs, I mean,
of the four, that's the first time we've doubled up
on a talk back.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Congratulations, Jack gets your lucky day. How about this?
Speaker 9 (29:09):
Hey, Pa and Nordle the greatest best two to one kfan.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
This is Richard from Burnsville. I believe Purple. I'm never
gonna quit, never gonna surrender.
Speaker 9 (29:17):
I think JJ McCarthy's two got a bright future. But
tell me, why don't we do more quick place screens,
slants down and oaks. We saw it in against Cleveland.
I want to see the button hooker.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Wants to see the button hook.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Yeah, there was no gizzard. Plenty of button hook No Thanksgiving,
appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Next, now let's try this one.
Speaker 8 (29:36):
Hey, good morning guys, Mitchair from South Saint Paul. So
when it comes to being thankful for Minnesota sports, I mean,
we may not have the best teams out there in
the country or anything like that, but it definitely seems
like our team they're more like families and they get
along and they have a great time and just a
great community with our teams. We're not the best, but
(29:56):
we have a great community and I'm super thankful for that.
And I'm thankful raw you guys on the station, you know,
playing our talk backs and do what we got to do.
So happy Thanksgiving and skullvikes this weekend.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
Well that's I mean, that's that's standing oh coven and
collapse worthy with a stray of kindness there. And when
he started, I'm like, go ahead and see what you're doing.
And he didn't do it. He did it in a
roundabout way, but it plays into yes, we we no
matter how rough of the patches things are with the
(30:27):
pro sports teams or the the the the core four
is non to noon we'll call them. That would be NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL.
Then you get to D. Then you get to the
most identifiable Division I programs sky Yuma football, sky Yuma basketball,
and in this part of the country, sky Yuma hockey.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Matters a lot.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Well, I give thanks and nine to Noon offers up
astray of of thankfulness. To have all of those teams
in this market, that's awesome. I mean, win or lose,
there's plenty about which to talk. This is a habit state.
Minnesota is a habit state, So therefore you're going to
get a lot of I'm pulling my tickets. Sure, but
(31:13):
they rarely pull their tickets.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
They don't.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
They just show up generally, come back and watch, come
back and listen to whomever's audio network. Uh, and they
always care. And that that is analogous to the talkback
we just heard, is I mean, just just honestly and
some and Omaha is about ready to catch as straight here.
Imagine doing this radio show in Omaha. Okay, Well, I
(31:37):
actually wouldn't be that bad because we know Fred Hoiberg.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
We have him on weekly.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
Probably do box in the box from court side next
to uh, next to a Nebraska Cornhuskers basketball game.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Yeah, you may have picked among the most loyal, heavily
traveled fan base.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
Yeah, the country, we'd get to know Matt rule. Yes,
so we probably have Pat McAfee on weekly, because rolls
on with McAfee. Actually, when be that battle? And that
would be okay? A council bluffs over the bridge, go
up there and spot up on some craps or some
blackjack and stick them damn.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Omaha sounds good.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Right now some Omaha mutual get some insurance cash for
a sponsorship in the studio.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I mean that sounds okay.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Friday Football Feast, Buffalo Wild Wings, Lincoln Jeremiah Searles is
the new Alec lewis me and the.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Con joining us now is up? Joining us now.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Would be Uh, what's the name of the running back
that I know from Richfield?
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Emma Johnson? Yeah, I am it is it Emmitt? Yeah,
it's Eman.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
I think it's Emma Johnson. Yeah, Emma be a weekly
guest for it's nil. We can get him ten thousand
dollars in Omaha stakes. So that sounds pretty good. Yeah, No,
that's that's actually not I can call races.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
At Fauner Park.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
Got an hour hour change to I called races at
Fauner Park and Grand Island Nebraska. We could do that.
You could be the KG and the paddock if they
even have a paddock.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
I love your first day class.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
You're trying to like, how could I create three jobs
terrorism for myself in Nebraska?
Speaker 2 (33:03):
I know what the supplemental income being in Council Bluff's
a well, it's a bad economy with a smoking ban.
I think that's been said.
Speaker 10 (33:10):
Uh, talkbacks up, Pa, Nordo, Happy Thanksgiving to you guys,
to your family, Aaron from Little Canada. I just wanted
to give a shout out just to KFA n dominating
in that sixty four bracket that uh, Power Trip and
Common Man have been talking about. How about Pa slamming
the giants?
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Dan Patrick down Colin cowherd out. I don't get it.
Speaker 10 (33:35):
I hope you guys win the next round and let's
see who wins. Common Man or Power Trip.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Oh boy, oh goodie.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
Nordo and I never talk about it or think about it,
and that's not by design.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
I don't even know what it is. I don't even
know what it is.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Like Corey Corey Cove showed it to me when I
walked in for the Monday nine to noon showed me
the brackets everything something conspicuous was part of the brackets,
and subsequently Noon to three had the best time in
the world with the conspicuous omission.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Oh wow, and so I three the core four in it.
Bro I don't even know how the voting works.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
I don't want to fix the race, so I'm not
even going to tell people where to go find it
because I haven't looked at it since Corey showed it
to me Monday. But there's some bracket bit where nine
to noon has defeated Colin Coward. Yes, the Dan Patrick
shows correct and next is rich eisen Richien, right, and
so that's uh, that's cool man.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
That's for whomever voted for it. Love all of you
and we give thanks for you. Yeah, we we potentially
roll into the Elite eight, right, but you know that works,
but it's power trip v common. Yeah, so one has
to go, right.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
But I mean until this whatever sixty four is included
in the in the every other week paycheck. I mean,
if you win the sixty four, you get a five
grand bonus. You hear about six segments a day.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Yeah, what is it the correct what is it the
heavy hundred? Or yes, you will.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Go here, go here go, here go, here go here
at pa on the mic PA on the Mike PA
on the Mike PA on the mic PA. Map producer one,
Map producer one, Map producer one.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
But it's somebody's gimmick. They're having a good time with it.
We have to be.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
We happen to be catching strays of kindness. There was
a conspicuous omission for whatever the reason, and the other
three of the core four roll on valiantly giving thanks
to each other.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Let me see I can find one more talk back here. Yeah,
in a hurry, but we got Softy at eleven o three.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Oh yeah, we do.
Speaker 11 (35:43):
Good morning Benny for mellons View and good night sound
a little brown nosy. But I like to give thanks
to k Fan all the talk shows that give us
delivery drivers some form of entertainment while we're out here
losing our minds out on the icy roads and winter conditions.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
So thank you so much. You all have a happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Is that he was the coach talkback yesterday too, with
the blinker in the background.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Wow, that's right, the turn signal? Is it time? Is
it okay? If I say for whom you work?
Speaker 4 (36:17):
So one of my best friends church friend, Lon Anderson
in studio works with ups. Yeah, full time package handler
has the day off. The story my man just told
about the crazy roads, and I mean from now, probably
a little before through Christmas. I mean treat these package
handlers with respect. Yeah, because I've seen the back of
(36:39):
these trucks before. It ain't no joke loading it, it
ain't no joke driving on the road, specifically when they're
when they're slippery, and it ain't no joke dropping off
the past packages. So thank you for that talk back,
Thank you mister Lon Anderson for coming in studio today,
and most importantly, thank all of you for listening to
KFA in when you do a truncated New US New nord.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Is News DERD brought to you by the Casino at
Canterbury Parkcanterbury Park dot com.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
You got the ten k giveaway. Just a cool weekend.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
If you're gonna hit the Felt this weekend at Canterbury,
whether it's the Pro Pick Them NFL Pro Pick Them challenge,
you can do that on a weekly basis in Black Friday,
just a couple of days from now. If you're thinking
to yourself, like where you know, where should I get
my Christmas tree. This year, they're gonna have trees starting
at nine am Black Friday in the lot there at Canterbury,
So you truly get it all from some of the
(37:39):
nicest people in in the metro and they're down in Shocopy.
That's Canterbury Park dot Com podcast will very shortly. You're
gonna hear from the head coach, Chris Finch. First hour.
You also heard from the box Alan Horton. I told
Softy five six he's good, Okay sweet, And that's part
of a double feature tonight, Pa it's six thirty p
(38:01):
Via the iHeartRadio app, you can hear Alan Horton on
the call.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
You can also watch it on ESPN.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Wolves who have you know, in some ways just kind
of literally dropped the ball in two straight at Phoenix
and Sacramento. Now their toughest of the road trip is
upon them. The one loss. Ok see thunder this evening
you mentioned it, Shay Gilgess. Alexander's questionable with an illness,
but he makes almost all the dances. So let's just
assume SGA is going to play our best versus their best.
(38:27):
Let's see what happens. Looking forward to that, but then
the Minnesota Wild winners of five.
Speaker 4 (38:32):
Oh yeah, by the way, early in the Fincy conversation,
and the reason I bring it up is because it
just it caught fire a little bit on social media
and it plays into I don't even want to get
into what it plays into about who's at road games
and who's not.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
I started to play Covenant catch up on that for
a second, and then my head almost exploded.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
And it sounds like it's a lot of teams throughout
the league have a similar process.
Speaker 4 (38:58):
Okay, well, I mean I guess that's our chat with
Chris Finch.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Well, let's just put it this way. Listen back to it.
Speaker 4 (39:05):
And early in the equation when I ask him about,
you know, what happened at Phoenix and Sacramento and the
late game losses, I mean, he opened a vane.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
And that's why we give thanks for Chris Finch.
Speaker 4 (39:15):
He's so honest and upfront with everybody, but especially nine
to noon. He was talking about game management and kind
of just a paraphrase, he kind of was like, hey,
I blew it. I mean he didn't give examples, but
he's like, I blew it. And then we moved on
with the conversation. So then that caught fire on the
social media machine a little bit, people going back and
forth about Finchy Finchy. So anyway, just listening closely for
(39:38):
that early in the conversation because people seem to have
enjoyed that part of the mix.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
And if you did miss it in the open, as
a matter of fact, you'll hear Pa and finch a
little replay love during the eleven am hour. So six
thirty pm Tip Wolves in Thunder, seven thirty pm, puck
drop the Wilder at the Chicago Blackhawks this evening. Cool
chat with Russo during the first hour as well. The
opportunity for the wild to win their sixth in a row.
(40:07):
And of course it's kind of like, however you do it,
I'm gonna do it better. You watch it in our
division as the Wild I've been climbing those charts over
the last couple of weeks. Well, why wouldn't the Avs
be winners of nine in a row?
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Man the Blackhawks almost beat them the other night too.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
And why wouldn't the Avs, who have won nine in
a row be at Grand Casino Arena for a Friday
afternoon matine So don't look past Chicago here tonight, let's
get two points a United Center and have a fun
one on Black Friday afternoon, Wild and the Blackhawks, or
excuse me, Wild in the AFS now to the NFL tomorrow,
(40:42):
so we are not live tomorrow. I'm putting together a
couple of segments and put in an hour of some
biking centric content together at nine.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
That be your guard piece plays too if you're interested.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Absolutely, and you'll hear from You'll hear from some Bikings
Entertainment Network related content. But then it's a trip header
on Thursday, PA, you're home for all sports the fan.
You'll hear Westwood one, I believe radio of Packers and Lions.
Lions at home, good game, two and a half point favorites,
and then after the kiddies beat on the pack you're
gonna get the Chiefs finding their way to I mean,
(41:15):
they needed that victory to go to six and five
over the Colts and ot versus the concept or the
prospect of losing that game and going to five and six.
But they're gonna go beat on iber Flus's bad defense
in Dallas. They're three and a half point favorites at
Dallas in the Thursday Afternoon Affair.
Speaker 4 (41:32):
Yes, Dallas just beat Philadelphia. That's fine, okay, great, and
the defensive coordinator catches the stray well, I mean it's
just I mean, okay, the defense may be the worst
in the history of defenses, but I just kind of
like keep everybody stray free. When you beat the champions,
you get a week like NFL as the twenty four
hour rule with windsor losses.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
For me, it's like a five to six to seven.
Speaker 4 (41:55):
Day stray free rule when you beat the champions and
you find a way to do it in your defense
had something to do with it.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Let me do it this way, then, astray of kindness
to Mattie, your refluce in the Cowboys defense for being
as awful as they have been. There you go, they're
down twenty one and they held the Eagles in check
enough for dak in the offense infinitely lopsided as the
two units are to come back and find the victory.
Speaker 4 (42:24):
Well, then let me take it a step farther and
get like x'es and o' sports talk radio on it.
Why are we going to do that? Because all we
do is slay Colin Coward and Dan Petter.
Speaker 1 (42:36):
We do.
Speaker 2 (42:36):
It's why we're moving forward in the bracket.
Speaker 4 (42:38):
Which eyes in your next in whatever this thing is.
Do you think it's easy to hold Jalen Hurt, Saquon Barkley,
AJ Brown, DeVante Smith and Dallas Goddard to no points
as long as they did. That's the ex'es and o's
portion of the equation on the WIP Eagles Audio Network.
Speaker 1 (42:59):
By way, stray of kindness, How loyal are our listeners,
by the way, with the big national in this bracket bit.
Speaker 4 (43:06):
Or the best of any listening audience in the country,
and that that is not hyperbole, No, it is not.
Speaker 2 (43:12):
That is not hyperbolic.
Speaker 4 (43:13):
Everybody in the analytics and metrics world, I mean, we
never talked about at.
Speaker 2 (43:18):
Least nine to noon doesn't.
Speaker 4 (43:19):
But it's I'm saying it's for top sixteen markets. Yeah,
and a lot goes into that when it comes to
the listening audience men and women eighteen up to fifty four.
I mean, honestly, the company collapse can go for six
hours in standing ovation fashion.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
And you know Rube Nation is just mashing on our shows,
the three of the four, yeah, and helping support us.
Speaker 4 (43:47):
Why they got to leave Tackle Terry Tuma out it
was egregious, but that that is serious and not hyperbole
and not hyperbolic from the heart, and it's been for
a long time. Is there's there's the narrow casting world
where we're glad some people win and some people have
a good time at it. But then there's the broadcasting
(44:08):
world and all that goes into that, and sometimes the
loads are heavy. But one thing that is consistent is
the f one hundred point three kf an audience KFA
in dot com. iHeart audio, app, talkbacks, fan line, the
whole thing. They're the best, the best of the best ever,
the best in all top sixteen markets.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
And that is fact. Y'all don't know football. Bengals at
the Ravens.
Speaker 11 (44:34):
Was that?
Speaker 1 (44:35):
Remember that?
Speaker 2 (44:36):
Just a little talkback. Y'all don't know football. Y'all don't
know football. Y'all don't know football. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (44:42):
Ravens by a touchdown favored on Thursday night against the Bengals.
Speaker 4 (44:45):
Be careful of Joey Burrow might I might have stabbed
him a week early even though he didn't play last week.
Speaker 2 (44:50):
Yeah, I'm trying. Jamar Chase is available in the Guillotine League. Yeah, oh,
I like him a lot tomorrow night, A lot tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (44:58):
Eagles by six and a half over the Bears at
Lincoln Financial for a Black Friday afternoon game.
Speaker 2 (45:05):
I like the Bears in that game plus the points.
That's news.
Speaker 4 (45:08):
Donord Safty from Seattle kJ R and Seattle It's a Juggernaut.
And Softy from Seattle to chat about dim chickens next
Fan, Good morning, Welcome back to nine to noon. It
is time for bikes Bites, Bites, Btes Bikes Bites brought
to you by Thousand Hills Lifetime Grazed Grass Fed be
You can shop onlinebox and meat shows up at your doorstep.
You can go to your local co. Burns and Kowalski's locations.
(00:22):
Proud sponsors Gophers Athletics and they're Clearwater, Minnesota based company.
So thank you a thousand Hills, thank you to the
Minnesota Vikings four and seventeen eight and three Seahawks getting
after it a lumin field Sunday afternoon. But I do
want to look back before I look forward. Matt Daniels,
we were talking about it yesterday. We get ko at
(00:43):
eleven o'clock, which was always good. And then maybe we
can check in with b flow Flores on the presser
side of things at TCO on Tuesdays. We didn't get
to hear for Matt Daniels, so I found a couple
of interesting bits I'd like to play.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
First.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Matt Daniels talking about the Miles Price muff on Sunday
at Lambell.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Bad bad bounce of the ball.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
But you know Miles has to really protect himself along
with protecting his teammates and.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Just get out of the way. You know, he can easily.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Just run that gunner off to the sideline because his
responsibility was just the front and returner up in an instance,
and you know, Miles just has to have better awareness
of where the ball hit at and you know, obviously
did kind of take an awkward bounce for us there,
But we just have to remove ourselves out of that
in that situation in general, just out of Harn's way
(01:33):
from being able to for that ball to really kind
of hit us in that situation right there. And I
totally get it. You know, Miles had good intent of
really just trying to hit that gunner.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Again, it's a divisional game.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
You're trying to save every blade of grass that you
can and hope that by hitting that gunner you prevent
him from being able to down the football if it
does end up kind of taking a good bounce for them.
And so it was good intent, but just a mental
error on his end. He just has to get out
of the way along.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yeah, good tent, but a mental error on his part.
That's kind of how we have framed that up in
our head. You know, frustrating thing about a four win team.
There's a lot of things to talk about. Of course,
QB maybe atop the heap of to do or to
change related items, but special teams just kind of in
some moments disorganized. Here he is talking about the was
(02:20):
it twelve men? Was an eleven men? What happened there
with Ivan Pace in the time out?
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yeah, so there was just a miscommunication up in the
press box. So we have a coach up in the
box that's responsible for counting numbers. We asked that we
have eleven, they communicated that we had twelve, and yeah,
so you know, we counted the end he said, yeah,
we have twelve, and so as a result, you know,
usually what happens is is Ivan is actually the one
(02:45):
responsible for counting, and if he ever feels like there
is twelve people on the field, or if he counts
twelve people, he is the one that runs off the field.
And so Ivan wasn't really run off the field, but
we were saying that there was twelve on So there
was just a little confusing there, and you know, you
rather just go and call the time out there rather
than it it resulting independent you got twelve people on
the field, which he ended up being a first down.
(03:06):
So it was just a miscommunication from a coaching standpoint,
that's how they would.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Can you repeat the part of this stuff where you
said all about things?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
So that was a lot. Well, I really like Matt Daniels.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
However, if you watch the video back on that and
you listen to that as you just heard it, you
can catch it on the YouTube Vikings dot com.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
He was kind of embarrassed by the whole thing like it.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
It just felt like kind of like a moment where
I mean, we compensate a guy to count whether it's
eleven or twelve. He miscounted, and then I got the
cat on the field, that's his job is to count,
and we miscounted, but he wasn't running off, So then
I think we told him to run off, but there
was eleven the whole time. Now somebody has to tell
(03:51):
the coach that there's twelve even though there's eleven. So
now he's running down the field to call a time out. Wow,
just to discombobbylation of things in moments like that, it
just did. It's happening too often, you could say, for
for our favorite football team.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Well, the the the the penalty. Excuse me, the the muff,
I guess I don't like calling it a muff pon
really a muff it's not.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
It's like a glanced off price.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
But I'm glad Matt laid that out the way he did,
because you know, I had a I had a conversation
yes Monday morning, excuse me, Monday after the show with
you know, somebody who knows more about football than us
and had heard or seen on social media the uh
the call of a highlight, and I'm like, you know,
what are you doing? I mean, just just get away
(04:39):
from it. And somebody respectfully disagreed with me and said,
well you when they started with you do know well
that that has a little here's the reality to it.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah, sit down, get a pen and a pad, and
I'm going to inform you.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
But they contacted me, so I respectfully listened and then
I said, okay, I mean I can understand that however
for me, and it doesn't mean it's right there.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
There is nothing.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
That separates whether the thing stops at the five or
the four or the one. Okay, if you start at
the one, that sucks. If you start at the five,
that ain't great. It ain't the one. I understand it,
and I get the pickoff the gunner bit. However, what
I can tell you is an oblong object taking an
(05:27):
obtuse bounce is in vogue and that's why it's shaped
that way. And what I can tell you is ten
of ten bad is when it hits your guy and
you and the other team gets it at the five
in a one score game where you're having trouble scoring,
where my favorite team's having trouble scoring.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
And then O'Connell with this press conference, let you I
think later that day or than No, it was the
day before, and I was kind of playing off that
where he's like at paraphrasing. We brought this up yesterday
with x's and o's. The way things currently are constructed,
our margin four error is a razor thin yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
And Daniels even said our margin for ara is none
with this unit, right.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
So if it's razor thin or none with one third
of the bit, then that means scatter, scatter, scatter, as
Bursa said, you just got to run as far away
from it as you can.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yeah. So that was my take on it.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Is that, Okay, I mean, I yes, I know that
we're talking about twelve feet here from the five to
the one. Yes, it does make a difference, but you
know what makes a giant difference. Giving them the ball
at the five, they score, make it a two score game,
and your margin for air's razor thin, specifically offensively. So
then we fast forward to Monday night and there was
(06:44):
a Carolina Panthers punch that bounced at about the seven
and Juwan Jennings was I think it was Jennings. Somebody
was flying down for the Niners, and the Panthers guy
ran away from it and just let it bounce go
into the end zone, which it didn't, and he ran
to take on I think Jennings or somebody for the Niners.
(07:07):
And as the player angled in toward the ball, the
Panther took off the other way and just ran straight
up the field because he didn't want to be blocked
into the ball. Didn't want because the ball takes bad bounces.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Man.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Yeah, and just because John Harball, one of the great
special teams coaches in the history of the NFL, John
Harbaugh at Tall have established over the years, you gotta
pick off the gunner in all circumstances. It doesn't mean
it's not amendable in certain circumstances with certain players. Are
they new, are they undrafted? Have they done it in
(07:42):
practiced before? What's the context here?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
I need?
Speaker 4 (07:45):
I need some context with the individual, the situations, how
it's taught and everything.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
And I have a right to disagree.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
And I disagreed, and Matt Daniels kind of agreed with
what I was saying.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
It was the first phone call we took during fan
line too, and we were getting a ton of pushback
on it and Ron, you know, rot player was doing
the right thing. I disagree with him a little bit,
but it ended up being a three to four minute chat. Yeah,
and I'm getting text messages stop blaming the game on
Miles Price?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Is that which I wasn't doing?
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I know I heard it, you weren't, but it was
so I started getting that. And I know people have
their preferred topics, and QB was was the preferred topic
by most. But you know, catastrophic, that is it was
the game of the coach's words. You you are at
ten six and everything is tenuous with this team. You
get off the field, it was like a five to
six play drive by the pack. You get off the
(08:35):
field in a ten six game, early third quarter and
your offense is going to get back on the field
and that happens.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
That is brutal. We what did you You laid out something?
Speaker 4 (08:45):
It was sad, but it's accurate about like I said,
the Vikings haven't had an interception in more than a month.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Now they have three.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Yeah, it's two takeaways on the defense in the last
eight games.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Okay, is it two takeaways period? Yes? Or okay?
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Well, I'm really really rooting for the special teams to
cause a turnover in this game and recover it. I mean,
we're always rooting for Miles Price to get to the
end zone on a punt for the first time since
twenty sixteen. Main Man Marcus against Houston a US Bank Stadium.
I want to see a punch out, man, I want
to see something. Just the special teams needs to splash
(09:21):
this game, like we need to breathe. We're going to
give banks to the Minnesota Viking special teams. They're going
to catch a stray of kindness here with the recognition
being Will Reikert is one of three kickers in the
NFL to make all of his extra points and like
only miss one or two field goals and yeah, I
think he's.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Eight to ten from fifty plus and that's all he's
missed or something.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
There we go wires with dick Er the kicker and
some other guy. So therefore that's been fantastic. Hey plus
size Ryan Wright had he had a touch back a
couple of games ago.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Is only this season.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
But when your margin for error is a razor thin,
everybody's saying it, how badly do you need seventeen to
kick the oblong object out of bounds inside the ten,
which he did twice last game. So and ty Felton
and Tavi Or Thomas's work as gunners has been really
really good. The punk coverage has been really really good.
(10:18):
But it's all going to be left in the wake
of a keen turn of verbal speed. When you run
into a vault of five and the team people want
to beat the most opens up a two score lead.
Now everybody knows you can't win, and that's going to
be magnified, and I understand it. But a stray of
kindness goes towards the Minnesota Viking Special teams into this
(10:39):
Super Chickens game. Let's make something happen. It doesn't have
to be a touchdown. Be nice if it was a touchdown.
Let's let's punch the ball away. Let's let's up the
peanutch out the peanut punch. Yes, please, the peanut punch
an honor of Peanut Tillman this weekend.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
On the Fien spikes ike bikes.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
It's basically being universally reported at this point it's very
unlikely now, not just that JJ McCarthy's in the concussion protocol.
The vibe is it's very unlikely that McCarthy will play,
so it'll be Max Brosmerk.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I got twelve on the game calling depth chart.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
And I felt I listened to West Phillips yesterday and
he's got two audio clips here, one on JJ one
on Sam Darnald that I think are very interesting. First
Sam Darnald and just what he was like here and
now what he's doing with Seattle.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Sam.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
I think you kind of remember from the start, we
kind of we're out there and some of the comments
that we're all saying is this guy is really a
high level thrower of the football. He's a really talented passer.
And then there was an athletic ability that he had
shown over the years. He's strong, and I think he
(11:53):
just needed me the right place, the right fit, the
right opportunity, And I think, you know, sometimes players aren't
the player that they they end up being. You know,
it's it's not a knock on the Jets. When he
first went and went in the league. You know, I
don't know that he was that player. Then players learned
(12:17):
lessons in this league. They they grow, they mature if
given an opportunity to stick around, and some of them
just just need a little bit more time.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
So that's uh, that's Wes Phillips talking to the athletic ability,
terrific passer.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Of the football.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
We got the full time package handel dear friend of
mine Lonnie Anderson in studio taking in the show for
the first time. And I mean he's so we'll just
hit some stuff for you.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Okay, Okay, what you just said.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
He that's with the button bar everyone anyway, I'm sorry, Well, if.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
You got to think about it, he spent his career
trying to find like obscure side doors of office building
and things.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
But he's an all access type of guy.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Package Handler is going to try and figure out the
button bar when he gets a chance.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
To come in studio, got Archie trying to bite on
his favorite ankle bone. Oh my goodness, he sees the
he sees the button bar and it's like audio manna
from button bar.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Dum h. So so you hear.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Wes Phillips talking about Sam Darnold, the athleticism, elite passer
of the ball, needed right place, right opportunity. Maybe not
the player he was when he was drafted by the Jets,
And I find that interesting then, as I believe it
was a question before actually he was offering some thoughts
on how the team or what the can what the
team can do in terms of managing JJ McCarthy's perspective
(13:42):
here in twenty twenty five with how things have gone.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Yeah, I mean, we'll do what we can to help
him through that. But a lot of a lot of
just being a professional athlete is is you know, being
able to handle the ups and downs and and being
mentally tough, and being able to block out and and
not not look at the outside you know, comments, the
(14:08):
social media, all the stuff. I mean, that's that's something
I'm very conscious of as a coach. I mean, there's
just gonna be a lot of opinions out there a
lot of negativity, especially when you're not winning as many
games as you like. So you got to you got
to put all that out of your head and focus
(14:29):
on really what you can control, and that's going to
work and improving at your craft or becoming a better
coach day in and day out, all those things that
you can control that you you have a direct impact on.
And if you can do that, then over time. Uh,
(14:50):
smart people who work hard and have talent are going
to get better over time.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
So I believe that.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
And uh, I think that's that's where JJ the path
that he's on.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
That that is a ten of ten A plus Vike bite.
Every single thing he said is so accurate analogous to
this day and age A low key, low key passive aggressive. Hey,
I hope a certain somebody hears this when I'm saying it.
Oh yeah, that was terrific, well done, Wes.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Vikes bites and it's it's you don't I mean, I
can't say that you don't hear that often, but and
and certainly by all accounts, I think passive aggressive is
the right way to put it. But in some ways,
from at least a presser perspective, pretty forthright, like talking
about like the mentality of the kid QB is is
he putting this franchise on his shoulders? How much is
(15:47):
he potentially listening to the outside noise manufactured in the
IMG factory. Title winning kid at Michigan And now he's
here and he's facing the first adversity maybe of his
football life.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
From everybody, everywhere, every minute of the day.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
And how does he turn it off? Does he potentially well,
I shouldn't even say potentially, based on the audio I
just heard, maybe that needs to be turned off.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
That needs to be altered.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
And so the ability to potentially sadly via concussion, the
ability to kind of maybe chill and turn that off
even for a week and watch Max Brozmer do his thing,
I think that could be a positive.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
The answer, I believe is somewhere in the middle. And
maybe I'm too far. You knows, as a father of
a twenty two year old and Nordo being a father
also parents out there, you know, maybe I'm too far
on one side. Like twenty two year olds who are
light on negative life experiences with stuff like this, yeah,
(16:50):
well they get a chance to you know, they it's
not bad to step off to the side for a second,
clear your mind, reorganize your protocol and your procedure and
how you want to go about things. Okay, so maybe
I'm too far on that side. But the other side
is suck it up, Sally, rub some dirt on it.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Be tough. You're making a lot of money.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
To who much is given, much is expected. You're wheat
get out there, and you're letting down the locker room.
That's awful. So the answer is somewhere in the farnamentle right,
and and I think the the common thread answer just
involves one word maturity.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Yeah, maturation experience.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
And it is it is kid specific, I'll be honest.
I And the reason I've been saying if he's healthy
enough to play, he needs to get every rep. I
am closer to the suck it upside than I am
to the kick gloves. And we just need to work
our way through this because it's not about money he
makes or anything like that. This is his professional opportunity
and what has happened around this franchise, and you know
(17:54):
he has to mentally figure out how to manage that
stress and the and the again, the opportunity unity matched
with the growing pains associated with it. I am more
on the suck it upside than I am on the
other end of the spectrum. But whatever, you know, whether
it's the team, I think a lot of this is
on him as an adult. I'm also not ready, of course,
to say through six games, well this kid can't play,
(18:17):
and just assume that if he's going to figure it out,
he's got to go to another team. We're absolutely done
with him when this concussion. When he clears the protocol,
he's got to be back on the field. That's how
I look at it. But I do have an empathy
in a respect that the mental burdens are clear and
potentially impacting what we're seeing.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
And I don't have an answer with it, simply because
despite knowing the guy quite well and knowing the situation,
what I think is pretty well, there's so much more
with something like this that people see, People endore that
he's not playing. If he doesn't play, it's because of
(18:56):
a concussion, And when he has the next opportunity to play,
I would fully expect him to play. So I guess
I'm in lockstep if I have to be in lockstep
with an opinion on this thing. But if he doesn't
and I find out because he just needs a mental
break for a second, maybe another game. Yeah, really, like
I'm going to get mad at that. You got to
(19:16):
be kidding me, No chance I get mad at that
with things I've seen in my life with me and
with my kids. And we're also thinking we're also talking
potentially one week now, if it's longer.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
That's that's a completely different story.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
It is a different conversation, and bottom line, tear it
up this week in Max Brosmer. Make the conversation next
week difficult, difficult for everybody involved.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Yeah, and that's the thing is the focus has been
so heavily placed on McCarthy and yes, I want that
kid to play. However, what an awesome opportunity for Max Brosmer.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Now, I was texting with somebody last night.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Yeah, what what if Jefferson goes one seventy five and two?
Oh my goodness, what win or lose? Beth Jefferson is
one seventy five and two.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
It's simultaneously what makes this thing fun what we do,
and then also makes you go insane. The week to
week reaction from even you know, a McCarthy who was okay.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
But not game changingly amazing in the ford Field game.
But you won.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
You know, he's NFC Player of the Week after the
Bears game Week one, and then we see what we
saw on the Falcons game see in reactions crazy but.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
Of course, and that's what makes us and a fan
and what makes us fans is it's age old. But
you know what JJ McCarthy did in the victory at
ford Field, the exact same thing we just watched Jordan
Love do at lambeau Field. Yeah, he managed the game
(20:46):
and followed the plan and left with the money. Yes, great,
that's I mean Packer fans got all wound up within
the last two years when I'm like, Jordan Loves a
game manager and in that Niners playoff game and he
decided to stop managing the game and go with the
Jordan Love will.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
He threw it right to dray Greenlawn. The season was over.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
So it's there's nothing wrong with being that player or person,
nothing wrong with it. You can win a ton of games, yeap.
So I understand what you're saying about the Lions victory.
But if that's who the quarterback is complimented by a
running game that has some umph and some receivers who
(21:26):
can do some things after catch and get deep on
you occasionally, you know, and get into a tack mode
like O'Connell's been talking about lately. Well, that's the lot
in life as of right now, But it doesn't mean
in a month it's going to be the lot in life.
Because somebody's so young in inexperience, maybe they exponentially improve,
(21:46):
or they regress, or they regress or Max Brosmer goes
for two seventy five to three and zero play action
has merit. Jefferson one seventy five and two. How about this?
And I'm gonna bring this up with Softy in a
half hour from Seattle, kJ are really good on the radio.
He joins at eleven. Uh, the coach for the Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
You don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Him, but he's your brother, Mike, Mike McDonald, Yeah, twelve
and two on the road. Six and eight at home, Yeah,
I mean, what goes into that? Just a weird split?
Six and eight at home. I mean six wins, eight
losses at home. One of the Minnesota Vikings last year.
He's Jefferson, He's about to be six and nine.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Seven goes in for Ty Felton punches it loose.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Oh, it's picked up by Tyler Batty and there he
goes Tyler Batty's loose.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Oh my goodness. Since that the.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Twenty ten touchdown on the Minnesota Vikings as ten and
a half point underdogs astoundingly have taken a seventeen point lead,
let's know, Tyler's pause, how's the talkback machine?
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Did that? Did the gizzard or give thanks? Big? Did
it click at all?
Speaker 5 (22:54):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (22:54):
I got, I got plenty of Yeah. Good.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
We're gonna run a lot of those back around the corner.
You're listening to nine to noon o KFM. Alright, now,
we're gonna fire these talkbacks off for a little while.
(23:18):
And as we mentioned earlier, we are looking to give
thanks and and or hear why gizzards are delivered? And
a question first maybe we'll pay it off later. Is
the gross gizzard a misunderstood facet of the turkey, that slimy,
rubbery giblet some pretend they enjoy to fly in the
(23:41):
face of the crowd. Just just ponder that is the gizzard.
I mean, I've eaten the gizzard before.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
I don't like it.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Here's the breakdown, just quickly, the gizzard is an organ
found in the digestive track of turkeys, chickens, and other birds.
Shape like a small it acts as a grinding mill
to break down food. Since birds don't have teeth, the
gizzard contains strong muscles that contract to pulverized food, along
(24:12):
with small stones and grint that bird swallow. This mechanical
digestion turns whole grain, seeds, insects, and other prey into
smaller particles the bird can fully digest. Yeah, I don't
want to eat the sack. Yeah, I don't want to eat. Well,
(24:34):
now can you repeat that again? If I pull the
audio out, I don't want to eat the small sack
that is the gizzard shape. I don't want to eat
other prey that has been broken down and subsequently is
digested into something called the gizzard. During processing, the gizzard
is removed with other organs like the heart and liver
(24:55):
and group together as giblets. So that's the gizzard with
its gross, slimy, rubbery texture.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Well, I think it was. At one point in time.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
People, you know everything but the bones, right, I mean,
you didn't want to waste anything inside that bird.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
But now you know we can, and I'm not negative
on liver, like liver and onions. I mean some people
are super negative on liver. I mean, it's not like that.
And uh, what's the bronzechwager or whatever it's called.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
The Oh yeah, isn't that just liver worst? Now?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Liver worst? Thank y? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Or sardines, you know, some some unique items that people
generally don't eat.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Now we're getting into some hubble beginning and stuff here
as well, I.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Know, I mean, yeah, we can talk about meal, and
I mean, why did I eat pop tarts that were
cold all of my life because we didn't have a toaster.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
So therefore, I like to chew.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
The crust off the outside, save the frosting part with
like the strawberry inside and then yeah, the crust part
at one point in my life was the meal and
the other part of it was the dessert.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Yeah, and that's the end of the story.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
I ate a certain way growing up that has me
eating every meal now like it's my last.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
Meal, like when I cut loose occasionally with like okay,
well for that person, spam is fine dining. Well, I
get a scalp from the con Why because back in
fan Cato days.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Spam was fine dining right out of the can. Are
you kidding me? Stop knocking spam. I absolutely love spam. Man.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
I used to fry Balooney a lot. Yeah, it's delicious.
Fry Boloney's the bomb.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Do you have the little pimento like the pimento loaf?
Did you ever do that? No? But I do now
I will now terrific.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
So y'all can have the gizzard and the slimy rubbery
texture and the little gross thing. That's great, but we're
going to get the negative side of the talkback equation
is giving of the gizzard, yes, indeed, or giving of
the banks sin here they are.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
Hey, good morning, Pa, Good morning everybody. I just want
to take this moment to give thanks. I don't know
if I should think Chris Finch. I don't know if
I should take God himself. But I am thankful for
nas Read. I repeat nas Read. He is a weapon.
He is the pride of Minnesota. And I swear I'll
(27:14):
get that nas Read tattoo my man.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Well done, Thanks for getting the bit, thanks for sharing
the positivity. And if you're giving the gizzard to somebody
or something, that's fine too. It's a radio show man,
you know, we're not. Hopefully nobody takes things too personally.
I know we certainly don't.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
What's next, Hey baa Nordo.
Speaker 7 (27:34):
Unfortunately I got a gross gizzard for you all. Every
team in this state except for the while they're on
a rough patch.
Speaker 8 (27:42):
Vikings.
Speaker 7 (27:43):
Yeah, we've talked about that enough. Timberwolves, two terrible losses,
and it isn't gonna be easy tonight. Say we're gonna
get whooped by it the Thunder. Unfortunately, the Frost lost
their home opener, the Loon's lost in the playoffs, and yeah,
the Twins are gonna suck next year.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
Sorry, Happy and TJ squad couldn't hit field goals and
gave up five hundred some ody yards of offense to
a team that ain't got a great offense.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Oh that is This is Gizzard Radio.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
And given the Gizzard Radio, and given the Gizzard dub
is more more love for the Wolves.
Speaker 6 (28:20):
Hey pa, Hey guys, Jack from Saint Louis Parks here,
I was just thinking what I'm thankful for, and I
got to give a big shout out to my guy,
Joe Ingles. I'd say he's really the beat of the Wolves.
Everybody says Anthony Edwards Trades a guy on the bench
hyping up everybody else more than Joe Ingles. I just
wanted to shout him out. Thanks guys, God bless.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
You, God bless you too.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Thank you for the peace of kindness the day in
front of Thanksgiving astray of kindness.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Well you know Jack, Actually Jack was the nas red
guy too. I don't look at the names until I
just looked at it. Now.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Wait, my man came in twice.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
I think he came in twice the first since we're
the only show that plays talkbacks that outs, I mean,
of the four, that's the first time we've doubled up
on a talk back.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Congratulations, Jack gets your lucky day. How about this?
Speaker 9 (29:09):
Hey, Pa and Nordle the greatest best two to one kfan.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
This is Richard from Burnsville. I believe Purple. I'm never
gonna quit, never gonna surrender.
Speaker 9 (29:17):
I think JJ McCarthy's two got a bright future. But
tell me, why don't we do more quick place screens,
slants down and oaks. We saw it in against Cleveland.
I want to see the button hooker.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Wants to see the button hook.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Yeah, there was no gizzard. Plenty of button hook No Thanksgiving,
appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Next, now let's try this one.
Speaker 8 (29:36):
Hey, good morning guys, Mitchair from South Saint Paul. So
when it comes to being thankful for Minnesota sports, I mean,
we may not have the best teams out there in
the country or anything like that, but it definitely seems
like our team they're more like families and they get
along and they have a great time and just a
great community with our teams. We're not the best, but
(29:56):
we have a great community and I'm super thankful for that.
And I'm thankful raw you guys on the station, you know,
playing our talk backs and do what we got to do.
So happy Thanksgiving and skullvikes this weekend.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
Well that's I mean, that's that's standing oh coven and
collapse worthy with a stray of kindness there. And when
he started, I'm like, go ahead and see what you're doing.
And he didn't do it. He did it in a
roundabout way, but it plays into yes, we we no
matter how rough of the patches things are with the
(30:27):
pro sports teams or the the the the core four
is non to noon we'll call them. That would be NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL.
Then you get to D. Then you get to the
most identifiable Division I programs sky Yuma football, sky Yuma basketball,
and in this part of the country, sky Yuma hockey.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Matters a lot.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Well, I give thanks and nine to Noon offers up
astray of of thankfulness. To have all of those teams
in this market, that's awesome. I mean, win or lose,
there's plenty about which to talk. This is a habit state.
Minnesota is a habit state, So therefore you're going to
get a lot of I'm pulling my tickets. Sure, but
(31:13):
they rarely pull their tickets.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
They don't.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
They just show up generally, come back and watch, come
back and listen to whomever's audio network. Uh, and they
always care. And that that is analogous to the talkback
we just heard, is I mean, just just honestly and
some and Omaha is about ready to catch as straight here.
Imagine doing this radio show in Omaha. Okay, Well, I
(31:37):
actually wouldn't be that bad because we know Fred Hoiberg.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
We have him on weekly.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
Probably do box in the box from court side next
to uh, next to a Nebraska Cornhuskers basketball game.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Yeah, you may have picked among the most loyal, heavily
traveled fan base.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
Yeah, the country, we'd get to know Matt rule. Yes,
so we probably have Pat McAfee on weekly, because rolls
on with McAfee. Actually, when be that battle? And that
would be okay? A council bluffs over the bridge, go
up there and spot up on some craps or some
blackjack and stick them damn.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Omaha sounds good.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Right now some Omaha mutual get some insurance cash for
a sponsorship in the studio.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I mean that sounds okay.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Friday Football Feast, Buffalo Wild Wings, Lincoln Jeremiah Searles is
the new Alec lewis me and the.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Con joining us now is up? Joining us now.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Would be Uh, what's the name of the running back
that I know from Richfield?
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Emma Johnson? Yeah, I am it is it Emmitt? Yeah,
it's Eman.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
I think it's Emma Johnson. Yeah, Emma be a weekly
guest for it's nil. We can get him ten thousand
dollars in Omaha stakes. So that sounds pretty good. Yeah, No,
that's that's actually not I can call races.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
At Fauner Park.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
Got an hour hour change to I called races at
Fauner Park and Grand Island Nebraska. We could do that.
You could be the KG and the paddock if they
even have a paddock.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
I love your first day class.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
You're trying to like, how could I create three jobs
terrorism for myself in Nebraska?
Speaker 2 (33:03):
I know what the supplemental income being in Council Bluff's
a well, it's a bad economy with a smoking ban.
I think that's been said.
Speaker 10 (33:10):
Uh, talkbacks up, Pa, Nordo, Happy Thanksgiving to you guys,
to your family, Aaron from Little Canada. I just wanted
to give a shout out just to KFA n dominating
in that sixty four bracket that uh, Power Trip and
Common Man have been talking about. How about Pa slamming
the giants?
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Dan Patrick down Colin cowherd out. I don't get it.
Speaker 10 (33:35):
I hope you guys win the next round and let's
see who wins. Common Man or Power Trip.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Oh boy, oh goodie.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
Nordo and I never talk about it or think about it,
and that's not by design.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
I don't even know what it is. I don't even
know what it is.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Like Corey Corey Cove showed it to me when I
walked in for the Monday nine to noon showed me
the brackets everything something conspicuous was part of the brackets,
and subsequently Noon to three had the best time in
the world with the conspicuous omission.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Oh wow, and so I three the core four in it.
Bro I don't even know how the voting works.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
I don't want to fix the race, so I'm not
even going to tell people where to go find it
because I haven't looked at it since Corey showed it
to me Monday. But there's some bracket bit where nine
to noon has defeated Colin Coward. Yes, the Dan Patrick
shows correct and next is rich eisen Richien, right, and
so that's uh, that's cool man.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
That's for whomever voted for it. Love all of you
and we give thanks for you. Yeah, we we potentially
roll into the Elite eight, right, but you know that works,
but it's power trip v common. Yeah, so one has
to go, right.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
But I mean until this whatever sixty four is included
in the in the every other week paycheck. I mean,
if you win the sixty four, you get a five
grand bonus. You hear about six segments a day.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Yeah, what is it the correct what is it the
heavy hundred? Or yes, you will.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Go here, go here go, here go, here go here
at pa on the mic PA on the Mike PA
on the Mike PA on the mic PA. Map producer one,
Map producer one, Map producer one.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
But it's somebody's gimmick. They're having a good time with it.
We have to be.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
We happen to be catching strays of kindness. There was
a conspicuous omission for whatever the reason, and the other
three of the core four roll on valiantly giving thanks
to each other.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Let me see I can find one more talk back here. Yeah,
in a hurry, but we got Softy at eleven o three.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Oh yeah, we do.
Speaker 11 (35:43):
Good morning Benny for mellons View and good night sound
a little brown nosy. But I like to give thanks
to k Fan all the talk shows that give us
delivery drivers some form of entertainment while we're out here
losing our minds out on the icy roads and winter conditions.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
So thank you so much. You all have a happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Is that he was the coach talkback yesterday too, with
the blinker in the background.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Wow, that's right, the turn signal? Is it time? Is
it okay? If I say for whom you work?
Speaker 4 (36:17):
So one of my best friends church friend, Lon Anderson
in studio works with ups. Yeah, full time package handler
has the day off. The story my man just told
about the crazy roads, and I mean from now, probably
a little before through Christmas. I mean treat these package
handlers with respect. Yeah, because I've seen the back of
(36:39):
these trucks before. It ain't no joke loading it, it
ain't no joke driving on the road, specifically when they're
when they're slippery, and it ain't no joke dropping off
the past packages. So thank you for that talk back,
Thank you mister Lon Anderson for coming in studio today,
and most importantly, thank all of you for listening to
KFA in when you do a truncated New US New nord.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Is News DERD brought to you by the Casino at
Canterbury Parkcanterbury Park dot com.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
You got the ten k giveaway. Just a cool weekend.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
If you're gonna hit the Felt this weekend at Canterbury,
whether it's the Pro Pick Them NFL Pro Pick Them challenge,
you can do that on a weekly basis in Black Friday,
just a couple of days from now. If you're thinking
to yourself, like where you know, where should I get
my Christmas tree. This year, they're gonna have trees starting
at nine am Black Friday in the lot there at Canterbury,
So you truly get it all from some of the
(37:39):
nicest people in in the metro and they're down in Shocopy.
That's Canterbury Park dot Com podcast will very shortly. You're
gonna hear from the head coach, Chris Finch. First hour.
You also heard from the box Alan Horton. I told
Softy five six he's good, Okay sweet, And that's part
of a double feature tonight, Pa it's six thirty p
(38:01):
Via the iHeartRadio app, you can hear Alan Horton on
the call.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
You can also watch it on ESPN.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Wolves who have you know, in some ways just kind
of literally dropped the ball in two straight at Phoenix
and Sacramento. Now their toughest of the road trip is
upon them. The one loss. Ok see thunder this evening
you mentioned it, Shay Gilgess. Alexander's questionable with an illness,
but he makes almost all the dances. So let's just
assume SGA is going to play our best versus their best.
(38:27):
Let's see what happens. Looking forward to that, but then
the Minnesota Wild winners of five.
Speaker 4 (38:32):
Oh yeah, by the way, early in the Fincy conversation,
and the reason I bring it up is because it
just it caught fire a little bit on social media
and it plays into I don't even want to get
into what it plays into about who's at road games
and who's not.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
I started to play Covenant catch up on that for
a second, and then my head almost exploded.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
And it sounds like it's a lot of teams throughout
the league have a similar process.
Speaker 4 (38:58):
Okay, well, I mean I guess that's our chat with
Chris Finch.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Well, let's just put it this way. Listen back to it.
Speaker 4 (39:05):
And early in the equation when I ask him about,
you know, what happened at Phoenix and Sacramento and the
late game losses, I mean, he opened a vane.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
And that's why we give thanks for Chris Finch.
Speaker 4 (39:15):
He's so honest and upfront with everybody, but especially nine
to noon. He was talking about game management and kind
of just a paraphrase, he kind of was like, hey,
I blew it. I mean he didn't give examples, but
he's like, I blew it. And then we moved on
with the conversation. So then that caught fire on the
social media machine a little bit, people going back and
forth about Finchy Finchy. So anyway, just listening closely for
(39:38):
that early in the conversation because people seem to have
enjoyed that part of the mix.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
And if you did miss it in the open, as
a matter of fact, you'll hear Pa and finch a
little replay love during the eleven am hour. So six
thirty pm Tip Wolves in Thunder, seven thirty pm, puck
drop the Wilder at the Chicago Blackhawks this evening. Cool
chat with Russo during the first hour as well. The
opportunity for the wild to win their sixth in a row.
(40:07):
And of course it's kind of like, however you do it,
I'm gonna do it better. You watch it in our
division as the Wild I've been climbing those charts over
the last couple of weeks. Well, why wouldn't the Avs
be winners of nine in a row?
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Man the Blackhawks almost beat them the other night too.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
And why wouldn't the Avs, who have won nine in
a row be at Grand Casino Arena for a Friday
afternoon matine So don't look past Chicago here tonight, let's
get two points a United Center and have a fun
one on Black Friday afternoon, Wild and the Blackhawks, or
excuse me, Wild in the AFS now to the NFL tomorrow,
(40:42):
so we are not live tomorrow. I'm putting together a
couple of segments and put in an hour of some
biking centric content together at nine.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
That be your guard piece plays too if you're interested.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Absolutely, and you'll hear from You'll hear from some Bikings
Entertainment Network related content. But then it's a trip header
on Thursday, PA, you're home for all sports the fan.
You'll hear Westwood one, I believe radio of Packers and Lions.
Lions at home, good game, two and a half point favorites,
and then after the kiddies beat on the pack you're
gonna get the Chiefs finding their way to I mean,
(41:15):
they needed that victory to go to six and five
over the Colts and ot versus the concept or the
prospect of losing that game and going to five and six.
But they're gonna go beat on iber Flus's bad defense
in Dallas. They're three and a half point favorites at
Dallas in the Thursday Afternoon Affair.
Speaker 4 (41:32):
Yes, Dallas just beat Philadelphia. That's fine, okay, great, and
the defensive coordinator catches the stray well, I mean it's
just I mean, okay, the defense may be the worst
in the history of defenses, but I just kind of
like keep everybody stray free. When you beat the champions,
you get a week like NFL as the twenty four
hour rule with windsor losses.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
For me, it's like a five to six to seven.
Speaker 4 (41:55):
Day stray free rule when you beat the champions and
you find a way to do it in your defense
had something to do with it.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Let me do it this way, then, astray of kindness
to Mattie, your refluce in the Cowboys defense for being
as awful as they have been. There you go, they're
down twenty one and they held the Eagles in check
enough for dak in the offense infinitely lopsided as the
two units are to come back and find the victory.
Speaker 4 (42:24):
Well, then let me take it a step farther and
get like x'es and o' sports talk radio on it.
Why are we going to do that? Because all we
do is slay Colin Coward and Dan Petter.
Speaker 1 (42:36):
We do.
Speaker 2 (42:36):
It's why we're moving forward in the bracket.
Speaker 4 (42:38):
Which eyes in your next in whatever this thing is.
Do you think it's easy to hold Jalen Hurt, Saquon Barkley,
AJ Brown, DeVante Smith and Dallas Goddard to no points
as long as they did. That's the ex'es and o's
portion of the equation on the WIP Eagles Audio Network.
Speaker 1 (42:59):
By way, stray of kindness, How loyal are our listeners,
by the way, with the big national in this bracket bit.
Speaker 4 (43:06):
Or the best of any listening audience in the country,
and that that is not hyperbole, No, it is not.
Speaker 2 (43:12):
That is not hyperbolic.
Speaker 4 (43:13):
Everybody in the analytics and metrics world, I mean, we
never talked about at.
Speaker 2 (43:18):
Least nine to noon doesn't.
Speaker 4 (43:19):
But it's I'm saying it's for top sixteen markets. Yeah,
and a lot goes into that when it comes to
the listening audience men and women eighteen up to fifty four.
I mean, honestly, the company collapse can go for six
hours in standing ovation fashion.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
And you know Rube Nation is just mashing on our shows,
the three of the four, yeah, and helping support us.
Speaker 4 (43:47):
Why they got to leave Tackle Terry Tuma out it
was egregious, but that that is serious and not hyperbole
and not hyperbolic from the heart, and it's been for
a long time. Is there's there's the narrow casting world
where we're glad some people win and some people have
a good time at it. But then there's the broadcasting
(44:08):
world and all that goes into that, and sometimes the
loads are heavy. But one thing that is consistent is
the f one hundred point three kf an audience KFA
in dot com. iHeart audio, app, talkbacks, fan line, the
whole thing. They're the best, the best of the best ever,
the best in all top sixteen markets.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
And that is fact. Y'all don't know football. Bengals at
the Ravens.
Speaker 11 (44:34):
Was that?
Speaker 1 (44:35):
Remember that?
Speaker 2 (44:36):
Just a little talkback. Y'all don't know football. Y'all don't
know football. Y'all don't know football. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (44:42):
Ravens by a touchdown favored on Thursday night against the Bengals.
Speaker 4 (44:45):
Be careful of Joey Burrow might I might have stabbed
him a week early even though he didn't play last week.
Speaker 2 (44:50):
Yeah, I'm trying. Jamar Chase is available in the Guillotine League. Yeah, oh,
I like him a lot tomorrow night, A lot tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (44:58):
Eagles by six and a half over the Bears at
Lincoln Financial for a Black Friday afternoon game.
Speaker 2 (45:05):
I like the Bears in that game plus the points.
That's news.
Speaker 4 (45:08):
