When one hand catches that dodgeball, that's such a great scene.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
I've used that gift so many times that now you're

a giant stack in a major tournament. I'm like, now

how's he doing?

Speaker 5 (06:22):

Speaker 2 (06:22):
I haven't talked to him in a while either. Probably
kicking ass, taking names. Probably, man, he's taken names.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
How cool would it be if you kicked ass and
then kept like a little notebook in your back pocket
and just yeah, sir, when you stop gargling, blood, can
you tell me what your name is? Because I just
kicked your ass and now I'm gonna need your name gargling? Yeah,

Speaker 2 (07:01):
It ain't right.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
No, it ain't good. No, it ain't right. But if
you did it, kicking somebody's ass, it's worth it. It
got to be a little worth it.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
It kicks some ass.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
Takes you names, that's right, take those names.

Speaker 1 (07:15):

because he's from Crawfordsville, Indiana, which I did not know.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
How far is that from your home? How far off?
How far is that from Jim Jones.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
You always ask about Jimmy. Jimmy, Yeah, Jimmy.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yeah, that is great.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Like if if he had been like a Nobel Prize winner,
would have been James Jones. Right, if it had been
like the newspaper boy that it's Jimmy Jones. But what's
the kind of name that you need if you're going
to have a whole bunch of people kill themselves in
a cult.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
That's that's Jim Jones.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
He was think it'd be like jim Yeah, middle name Jones. Yeah,
it's right by French lick. Yeah I wish. Yeah. He
is also besties with the head coach of the Boston Celtics.
Get out of here, No, I'm gonna stay right here.
How do they how do they know each other? They
met in an orgy.

Speaker 2 (09:12):

Speaker 2 (09:36):
I gotta know where to go. Yeah, I'm just having
nothing to do until nine.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Patiently waiting. Yeah, I gotta hear somewhere. Brother. But anyway,
they're they're only they were college roommates. Their college roommates,
and now the other guy is the head coach of
the Celtics.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
He's rich.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
No, I don't think that's his name.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
He's a financially rich he's well off. Wow. There's something
called the Crawfordsville Monster in Indiana. Of course, what does
that mean. It's like, supposedly a twisted worm. Supposedly it's
a beast that was sighted over Crawfordsville, Indiana in eighteen

(10:21):
ninety one. It supposedly killed an entire flock of deer.
Last based did Randy already send you that? It's five
forty in the morning when you put in Crawfordsville, Indiana.
It's one of the first things that shows up.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
By the way, not the head coach the GM. Brad Stevens,
oh four a coach though, Yeah, okay, Brad Stevens. Brad Stevens.
They were college roommates.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
I saw Brad Stevens outside of a Hooters in Atlanta.
True story, weird sentence that doesn't surprise. Remember remember Final
four again. I didn't want to sit at a Hooters
by myself because I'm just not that guy. But there
were no options like near Gersey and Ice Hotel, so
I would just get Hooters to go just to get
waffle from yeah or not waffle fries, curly fries. And

(11:04):
so I go to pick up my Hooters to go
and there's Brad Stevens just standing on the corner by
himself and Winslow Arizona.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
It's weird too, because I remember you saying he had
on a T shirt that said I Like two things schlitz.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
And whoa was he wearing that? Sure?

Speaker 1 (11:18):
In that T shirt he did have a bib covered
in barbecue sauce, so I didn't know if he had
been to Hooters or not.

Speaker 7 (11:25):
He gets after it, I like to did you just
say flock of deer?

Speaker 8 (11:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (11:30):
Yeah, that's what this said. I was wondering that saint.
I was trying to find flock of deer. I couldn't
find it. Never never heard a flock of deer. Oh wait,
it's cold. It's identified as a flock of kill deer.
It didn't kill deer.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
That's a that's a bird.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
That's a bird. Oh, I didn't know that.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
And they actually say kill deer killed here it sounds like.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
So this beast start all the way over.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
It's a large, white, headless creature with a single flaming eye.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
Where's that eye? If it doesn't have a head and fins?

Speaker 2 (12:13):
And it makes wheezing sound. But read go back to
what you read a couple of minutes. Agout all right,
I'm getting to it. The phenomenon was later attributed to
a flock of kill deer birds disoriented by the how
did you not see that? There was not a space
in the word kill deer and how did.

Speaker 9 (12:28):
You not see it?

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Immediately followed by the word birds. A take a deep breath, Wow,
I don't read. Well, no, that's unbelievable. And see it
killed a bunge of deer, a whole flock. Shout out
to Zach for catching that. How did I miss that.
I was looking for it.

Speaker 6 (12:49):
It came right up, So I was looking for it
just because I had never heard of a flock.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Yes, the word bird.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
I didn't skip the word birds. Yes, a flock can killed. Here,
I thought maybe the.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
Words There's a movie that I saw, oh there there
called uh oh Man. It's a rip off of It's
a like a it's a a funny version of Downton Abbey.
It just came out. I saw it not long ago
in the theaters, funny version of down.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
Mr? Be very careful.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
Yeah, you gotta be careful because the back hall backham Hall.
That's right. And one of the funny things in the
in the movie is the priest every time he's he's
doing a sermon or getting people married, he doesn't observe
the punctuation, so he says horrible, terrible things from the pulp.
That's about the only funny thing about that movie.

Speaker 1 (13:59):

horrible about.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Uh kids, that's funny.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
Uh yeah, I'll listen to something and play it for

Speaker 2 (22:07):
That's a good point.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
So I have what forty eight hours to convince her,
just for twenty four hours, Let's swap cars.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
Right, We'll park yours out in the driveway. I'll go
in there.

Speaker 3 (22:18):
Hers is in there where it's warm, of course, and
she doesn't go anywhere.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Got it loaded?

Speaker 12 (22:24):
Lord?

Speaker 2 (22:24):
What's per mile it's compared to yours? She has a
three year lease.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
I think she gets twelve thousand miles a year, and
I believe she's like almost the full three years in
and I think she's driven it eight miles. Yeah, a
fest Target targets target, and I think she's made that.
I think she's done that trip about twice. About a
target pickup for me, Yeah, got it in your cold car.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
Gold gold car.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Well, I got a lot of things going for me,
you know everything, Sorr.

Speaker 3 (23:01):
I'd be going to Florida.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
Why, you know, if I moved to Florida, who we
had a three car garage down there, I'd be parking
with the snakes and the gators.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
Yeah, and she'd be in the air conditioned.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
There's gators outside. Shouldn't we both park in here? Nope,
laudach storage.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
So does she also go to work at four forty
five in the morning, No, normally like eight thirty or nine,
so much much later.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
You could you could pull your car out, pull hers in,
and it'd be nice and cozy by the time she
left for work.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
You guys, all of these sound like great ideas. It's
a great point. You could just Yeah, why don't you
just get up one day and go, you know what,
I'm taking her car to work?

Speaker 3 (23:57):
Why don't you just go out in the garage and
start your car, keep the garage bird shut.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
There and be like oh no, my my would work.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
She'd hate it because you'd look warm.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
And she'd eventually have to move my car, which her off.
Am I supposed to get my car in here? Yeah,
it's gonna be cold, but.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
What is it again?

Speaker 1 (24:28):
What is it supposed to warm up by Sunday or Monday?
So don't we have like a three day drop and
then it gets back to normalcy?

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yeah? Tuesday, Tuesday's warm eighteen. Yeah, that's fine.

Speaker 3 (24:40):
What about you, Marco?

Speaker 2 (24:41):
You got plenty of room. He's got a nineteen car garage.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
Yeah, Corey, park in your garage.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Can I sleep over at your house Thursday?

Speaker 4 (24:48):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (24:49):
We can carpool in for initials on Friday, not come
on over.

Speaker 6 (24:52):
Yeah, plenty of room, nice and warm.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
I bet your guy more no nos, Pablo Lopez probably,
they're probably, but he's probably.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
Yeah, so we can maybe all four of us can
carpool in. Justin can come in and watch his buddy.
Maybe Pablo lives in Orno. Who knows, Yeah, who knows? Well,
carpool in on Friday. Then I can just leave my
ice cold car in your driveway.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
Yeah, we just figured it out.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
Leap over at Marks maybe and no one will know
you're gone.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
That'd be a fun experiment.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
How many weeks does it take for somebody to text
me and go are you?

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Are you still in the basement?

Speaker 1 (25:28):
No, I've been at Mark since January twenty First it's me.
I get to see this epic fight, tears flying down
my face and I just yelled at her and I.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
Go, hey, lets me bark in the garage.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
He likes me.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
We played cribbage together. He understands me. That's about all
I want to do too. Yeah, playing cribbage is the best,
the best, love it. Let's play it for money. I'm
in in a nice, warm home. Your house house is

(26:10):
extremely warm. The upstairs. Yeah, basement's like sixty two degrees.
Upstairs is like sixty nine to seventy n spring a
jacket or just you know, party.

Speaker 7 (26:22):
Well, he's got an acclimate to his vehicle every morning.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
Yes, I like showering downstairs, so I get used to
the cold, and then I go outside.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
Destroying the ozone layer by letting his car run for
a half hours outside.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
He doesn't even do that. You don't I don't have
time for that. What No, I just raw dog it.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
Let's go.

Speaker 2 (26:43):

Speaker 2 (28:06):
You have to put them between your little legs, legs
all jokes aside.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
I think it was about two years ago. Two years ago,
I forgot that I left a full, un open monster
in the cup holder and I do park outside.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
I don't know if you guys had heard that.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
And I woke up and the god dang thing had
completely exploded. You know what's crazy about it? Like I
wish I would have had a camera on it, because
it's not like a slow ooze out like it clearly pops.
I want to see it pop.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
Can you see how far the ice chunks of monster
energy flew across my car? I'm like, man, I want
how violent?

Speaker 3 (28:57):
Violent? Monstrous?

Speaker 1 (28:59):
Yeah, even the monster didn't want to be outside. That
was that. That cleanup was a pain in the ass.
That's just sticky, sticky as hell. Yeah, And I'm just
licking the console. I don't like to waste money, right,
spend money, sauce, don't waste it.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
Name of the podcast, by the way, what licked the console?

Speaker 3 (29:18):
Licking the console?

Speaker 1 (29:20):
Let's start not with sports scores. Let's just start with
sports news. A Florida state attorney has dropped the misdemeanor
trespassing charge against Jordan Addison m so if you remember
what nine days ago he was at the noodle bar
at the Seminal Hard Rock Hotel and Casino near Tampa.
I know on January twelfth, he wouldn't leave. He was
asked multiple times to leave. We still haven't gotten it,

(29:43):
says specifics. Was it was he point two? Though I
haven't seen one story where they said he was like
belligerent or completely intoxicated.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
It was just he wouldn't leave. Well why were they
asking him to leave?

Speaker 3 (29:56):
Because we never hear the rest of the story.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
Well, yeah, good point. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Addison's agent last week said he was weighing options about
filing a lawsuit over false arrest.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Now that they're dropping the charges, maybe they just let
the whole thing go away. But obviously, like you just said,
his name's been in the news the last week and
a half, so maybe they're still like this wasn't worth
arresting him. Over we're suing. I don't know how that's
going to work. I don't know the law. That's why
you hire good lawyers.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
But either way, charges dropped, so I would assume zero
punishment moving forward for mister Addison. I would guess, yeah,
because you can't go into if you're going to keep
him around. You can't go into this season with him
on another suspension. You need him if you keep him.

(30:42):
I just know, I just wonder what he did.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
Again. We'll never know if he truly had a.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
Dog emergency when he was going one hundred and forty,
because nobody in this town reports nobody right now, that
was once famously said, no one in this town reports.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
Well, yeah, I'm not going to break a lot of stories,
but I'm going to be on the stand top of them.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
But nobody ever found out what the emergency with the
dog was, how the dog turned out. It was just
a dog emergency. That's why I was going one hundred
and forty. Okay, whatever. I don't know if you're telling
the truth now, Like you guys just said, now you
have you were asked multiple times to leave the noodle bar.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
I doubt it was closed. Yeah, why were you asked
to leave? Correct?

Speaker 1 (31:24):
And then they said he had to be redirected multiple
times because as they were escorting him off the property, he.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Wasn't interested in going towards the front door, so they
had to be like no, no, no, no, no, no, you're
out of here.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Yeah, what was the problem I don't see a scenario
where you are stone cold sober and that is your response.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
Unless you're fighting with somebody, right, unless there's a giant argument,
you're like, yeah, sir, you got to you gotta leave. Yeah.
And if that's the case, if he was sober and
there was an argument, what was the argument about. It's
a noodle bar. Everybody's happy, Yeah, and it's a you're
on camera, he's putting his hands off camera. That was
strategic probably, Yeah, that's what it all comes down to.

(32:09):
You know, have you been to that noodle bar?

Speaker 5 (32:11):
Now?

Speaker 3 (32:11):
But I thought over that.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Yeah, then you got beat up by a dad, Yeah,
so what Yeah, you also got asked to leave.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Yeah, you've not been to that casino outside of Tampa.
I've heard.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
I've heard the seminal hard rock casinos like Legit. I've
heard it's really nice, awesome.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Yeah, they have giant giant tournaments down there.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
I love. That's the big giant guitar that I always
tell you guys about.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
Pretty sweet man. You see it as you drive by,
I wave with people.

Speaker 3 (32:39):
Yeah, I like guitars, So I tried to play it.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
Yeah, David Spade, somebody like a week ago just posted
more progress on social media.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
I think it was.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
I think it was like David Spade and NICKI Glazer
were doing a show in Vegas, and I think he
showed his view out.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
It must have been Caesar's or something.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
No, yeah, probably maybe in anyway, he showed his view
out the room of the guitar progress in Vegas.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
Looks like it's coming along nicely.

Speaker 7 (33:03):
They got some lights on there, they got some strings,
so yeah, it's coming together twenty twenty seven for next year.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
I love it, man. Those are my hard rock is
my favorite. Like I love the hard rock restaurants because
I'm a goof like that, but I love those casinos
are great. I like the memorobilia.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
Yeah, I'm with you. Cool. One of my favorite bits ever,
you guy Nick Schwartzen.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Yeah, when he said he used to work at Planet
Hollywood and he's like, you know, if you're in California,
you get like just a plus memorabilia.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
He's like, I worked.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
At the Planet Hollywood in mall of America.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
He goes, oh great, the car from Critters block them
to a table. Now, yeah, that's it, the car from Critters.
It was so delivery.

Speaker 1 (33:55):
And if you don't remember how cheesy and lame and
dumb the movie Critters was.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
That joke might not hit. But if you were a
kid in the eighties, I was.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
I was young enough to be a little afraid of
credits still right, Yeah, I didn't want to get my
hand bitten off by one of those Critters. Yeah, but
just the fact that when I was old enough to
hear that joke, I just thought that was so funny
that that's the movie that he picked the car from.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
Critters. Such a great joke. God, Nick is good. He
is good. Fifty two percent of Rotten Tomatoes. Critters. Yeah, no, kidding,
didn't they make about seven of them? Billy Zane is
in it.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
Of course, Billy says he probably was awesome. Fuck you
like Critters three?

Speaker 2 (34:34):
Right?

Speaker 3 (34:35):
Critters three gave me real bad flashbacks to when I
had the Crabs.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
Oh yeah, they made four.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
You didn't react to that anymore? Look at him?

Speaker 2 (34:47):
They made uh?

Speaker 1 (34:48):
Well they in twenty fourteen they came out with Critters
Bounty Hunter.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
Wow was that good?

Speaker 3 (34:54):
Hawk That was great? Yeah, that was the one that
had Harrison Ford in it. Yeah, he was in the
Vikings Locker. His return was.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
Question because the Critters might get him.

Speaker 9 (35:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
Yeah, Critters attack in twenty nineteen. What as of seven
years ago, they were still making Critters most it.

Speaker 3 (35:12):
Needs to be told Cory.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the one who's producing this. And
where is this? Uh? Is it streamable? I mean I'm
not going to watch it, but that's the one. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
The Critters become the good guy, sort of like Terminator too.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
Paris.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Speaking of streaming, you just told me off are you
guys were binging the hell out?

Speaker 6 (35:31):
Yes, we're in a players absolutely love it, love it. Yeah,
the most miserable person on Earth has to save the planet.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
I can see why you like it.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
Did you get to the scene where she basically treats uh, well,
it must have because he sounds like you're almost done.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
She basically turns downtown into top Golf and just starts launching.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
I'm like that was what Parish wind falls into windows.

Speaker 3 (36:01):
Smith does that in the Vampire movie too, right, and
I am legend I am legends that movie.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
You're not making another one, I think, so try to
turn that into a franchise of some kind.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
It says it's called keep my legendary Wife's mouth out
of your.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
Legend what.

Speaker 11 (36:17):
Mouth?

Speaker 2 (36:19):
I could remember what he said? Maybe wow?

Speaker 3 (36:22):
I mean that would have been something.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
It is legendary.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
He's gonna slap the hell out of me.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
Some vampire king walks up to Will Smith. I want it, No, no,
keep her legendary mouth off of you.

Speaker 3 (36:42):
O man, great movie.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
Such a gentleman he is. Jada Pinkett Smith comes out
of a room and just points in her mouth and says,
I am legend. Is it my turn?

Speaker 3 (36:56):
We're not doing that yet this segment, Well, we can do.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
The next segment. There we go a couple of things
to get too. We got some.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
We got some quarterback coach drama in the NFL that
I think is kind of fun.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
And Pa actually dipped his toe in the fight last night.
I know if you saw that, that was awesome.

Speaker 1 (37:13):
Now we can talk about that in a second during
what really matters after this.

Speaker 2 (37:18):
This is the Power Trip Morning Show on the Fan. Okay,

hanging out with the Patrick Morris Show. He's gonna invite
us to the national championship game and we're gonna be
there together.

Speaker 1 (38:29):

Speaker 1 (39:57):
The Minnesota Wild lost with fifth eighteen seconds to go
to the Canadians four to three. Cole caw Field of
Stevens Point, Wisconsin with his twenty fifth goal of the year.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
He was a first rounder a couple of years ago.

Speaker 3 (40:11):
Sniper.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
Two goals for Tarasenko, but they come up one goal
short fifteen seconds ago. It looked like they, like you said,
Parish crawled back. It looks like we're gonna get at
least a point, get to overtime, maybe come back and
get the win. But with fifteen seconds ago, Walstay gets
beat and they lose four to three.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
Yeah tough.

Speaker 6 (40:30):
You know, three games and four nights, three different towns.
Obviously it can get to you mentally and be a
little fit and physically as well. It showed a little
bit at the beginning there. Montreal had a lot more
jumped than the Minnesota Wild did. But like you said,
the Minnesota Wild, they were able to climb it to way,
climb the way back in it. Tarasenko, the depth showing
off some scoring and it's just it was unfortunate that

(40:51):
the sniper Cole Cawfield got loose with about fifteen seconds
left and he absolutely buried it.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
YEP hosting Detroit Thursday at eight thirty. That's the start
of a four game.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
Home stand, so we're going the other way now. Luckily
it's a lot easier now with Detroit Red Wings and
the Florida Panthers and.

Speaker 6 (41:13):
The NHL. Doesn't get easy. Those courts don't get easier. No,
they love to kick you when you're down. Hey, you
take two or three on the road, absolutely all year long.
But what really matters is this zecho directo.

Speaker 3 (41:25):
Yes, I need you to edit this out of the podcast.
You ready?

Speaker 2 (41:28):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (41:29):
You guys listening to this? For me? This is going
to be music appreciation Day thanks to our friend Rick
Biatto and the Rick Biatto YouTube channel, which is the best.
And I'm sick and I playing music on this station.
I'm going to play this one thing and I want
you to hear it. You ready, yes, sir? The artist
is Christopher Cross. Starts with an extreme section. It's beautiful,

(41:54):
and slowly the guitar fades in beautiful rich. Oh yeah,
complete accident. Here's Christopher Cross with Rick Piado.

Speaker 10 (42:05):
Interesting tidbit here that kind of no one knows. So
we did the string session beautiful and then when we
were mixing it was two twenty four's linked yeah, and
my first wife's brother was in the studio, was sitting
listening and uh, the song originally just started with the
guitar and.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
How did they how did we sink it up?

Speaker 10 (42:25):
Well, you know, the machines are chasing the slave, so
it just so happened that the slave chased and that
string part played by itself, and then the tapes caught
up and the track synced.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
And my brother in law.

Speaker 10 (42:36):
Said, my ex brother in law said, that's cool, and
amarty said, A martian said, what he goes the way
it starts with the orchestra, that's cool. That's how that happened.
It was a complete mistake. Wow, we would have never
thought of it. That is amazing. Yeah, and of course
it's beautiful. But yeo, and we want a Grammy for
Best Arrangement. I kind of go, well, actually, you know,
but it's just a fluke thing. And you know, unfortunately

(42:57):
on Martin was like, yeah, okay, we did it that way,
but that wasn't how it was designed to be done.

Speaker 2 (43:02):
Yeah. How cool is that? That's badass?

Speaker 3 (43:04):
Isn't that neat?

Speaker 2 (43:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (43:06):
That's the universe right there. Brother.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
Yeah see, and it's also a good lesson. Don't not
listen to ex brother in laws. Yeah, sometimes they know
what they're talking about.

Speaker 3 (43:15):
I think that was the whole point of the bit.

Speaker 1 (43:17):
That's what I take away from that, right, Yeah, sometimes
they know what they're talking about.

Speaker 2 (43:21):
That was cool.

Speaker 1 (43:21):
Yeah, yeah, right, that's all he said. He was right,
sounds like you said that was nice.

Speaker 14 (43:26):
Yeah, man, let's call how that happened. Well, thanks, yeah,
thanks daddy. Oh yeah, I did it on purpose. Dobb's
my ex brother in law. You're about the Beeople, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (43:41):
All right.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
I mentioned we have a quarterback coach drama in the
the NFL.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
So Kevin Stefanski used to coach the Cleveland Browns. He
was in Cleveland when Baker Mayfield was there. Now neither
of them is in Cleveland.

Speaker 2 (43:53):
Baker's in the Tampa Bay area, probably hanging out at
noodle bar with Jordan Addison.

Speaker 1 (43:59):
But Kevin Stave just took the job with the Atlanta Falcons. Well,
Baker Mayfield took a shot at now Falcons head coach
Kevin Stefanski based on their time in Cleveland. He said
on Twitter quote, still waiting on a tech slash call
from him after I got shipped off like a piece
of garbage.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
Can't wait to see you twice a year, coach. Wow.

Speaker 3 (44:19):
He holds on grudges.

Speaker 2 (44:20):
Yeah, didn't like the way that that Stefanski never reached
out to him.

Speaker 7 (44:27):
I don't know any Twitski is a Philly guy, right,
He's from Philadelphia, So no clue.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
I mean that's kind of there. That's how they do
it down there. But everybody says Stefanski's like the nicest
guy on the planet.

Speaker 3 (44:42):
You know him, right, hawk, Yeah, good dude, man, Yeah,
really really nice. But not to Bake.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
Yeah, well, little does Bake know he's probably gonna get traded.
Oh Bake, Well, I hope that when he does get
traded that his current head coach yeah says good balls, Yeah, and.

Speaker 2 (45:03):
Goodbye, my love, my car a great maybe a smooch.
I don't remember.

Speaker 6 (45:08):
Getting a phone call from the head coach when they
got tracked.

Speaker 3 (45:10):
There's only so many phone lines.

Speaker 1 (45:13):
Yeah, nobody had call waiting back.

Speaker 7 (45:16):
Yeah, four people call at the same time.

not on a team in twenty twenty seven, and that's
the future. Sorry, but you're predicting that you live in
his garage in twenty twenty seven.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
I agree. It's not zero. It's not zero. It's not impossible.

Speaker 1 (45:58):

not zero, like if Kel kicked you out today.

Speaker 11 (48:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (48:45):
The other the Russians guy. His name is is uh
Is Rosanoff. But I I can't get well, it was
hard to get Carol out of my mind that a
couple of times.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
Is that right?

Speaker 1 (48:57):
Well, his last name is rose Off. Yeah, that's exactly
what happened to this show.

Speaker 2 (49:02):
Oh, hello is Mark Parrish there?

Let me find out Perry.

Speaker 2 (49:13):
Hello, Hey, this is your former coach from the Dallas Stars. Yeah.
I just wanted to say, oh, hi, Tip, how you doing?
Thanks for the call. They were the only coach that.

Speaker 6 (49:24):
Did that, Tip, Dave Tip it the only coach. He
is the first and only coach I recall. Let's say
see you see that was the general manager's job. Oh not,
I'm not saying goodbye. I just wanted to call.

Oh I'm not apologizing for trading you. I'm not calling

Speaker 2 (49:41):
I just wanted to say I love you. Damn. Yeah,
I just what I look like.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
Mike Grim, I'm not going to have a conversation with
a I I wanted to talk to another human being.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
Oh Hawk missed that on Monday. It got real weird
in here, Chris.

Speaker 1 (49:54):
Weirdly, I think Grim wants to bang his female AI
voice like Jaque Phoenix in the movie Her.

Speaker 2 (50:02):
Yeah, it got real creepy.

Speaker 1 (50:04):
Yeah, I watched. I think I mean yeah, I think
he's peeled it out in the car. She go back
and listen to it.

Speaker 2 (50:11):
He said things like I haven't talked to her in months,
and he said it like it was a real person.
It got weird, weird, real band, I will hello, So
my turn of yours.

Speaker 3 (50:26):
What really matters is this music appreciation with Christopher Cross.
Listen to this story about Christopher Cross, who not only
goes sailing but also rides like the wind.

Speaker 10 (50:38):
I live in San Antonio and I'm playing local bands, okay,
and we had a Beco Flash and Zeppelin and Josh
Rocholl came through first ur in the US. And it
was a law in Texas at the time that you
had to have a local band on every show for
thirty minutes. So I got to do these seven shows
with Zeppelin.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
Wait what so what.

Speaker 10 (50:57):
After the second show? And you know, it was different then.
There wasn't all the security they were, you know, just
it was all new, you know. So we shared dressing
rooms like the big room like this, and Plant and
Page came over like the second night they said, how
are you guys following us around? Or your parents are
rich or something? And I said, no, you know, we're opening.
Our band is opening the show. So that night I
looked over the wings and Page the Plant were standing
there and we were terrible. But you know, a sound checks,

(51:20):
I'll always come out and sit on a case and
watch Jimmy, you know, do his thing, which is amazing.
But so he had high ones like you've got yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:28):
And I talked to him.

Speaker 10 (51:29):
I said, you know I've never I said, I've seen
these magazines, you know, and are actually seen one? He so, well,
nobody has them with Pete and I you know, Davies
makes them his garage.

Speaker 2 (51:36):
Blah blah bah. You know why that?

Speaker 10 (51:38):
He said, if you want one, give my Roady Clives
some money and we'll have Dave build you one. So
I give Clouds seven her bucks which is a lot
for me. Yeah, and all my friends. You see your
money two months later by boat and my house is
two cardboard boxes fifty one head No.

Speaker 2 (51:52):
Four twelve.

Speaker 10 (51:53):
I had a high walk. Not only did I have
high one only high one time. But I got it
from Jimmy Pey.

Speaker 3 (51:58):
How about don do We're so? Rick Piatto YouTube channel
Rick Beatto is the best? Thank you, Rick Piotto. The
story is Christopher cross has. You can't believe it. He
may be the luckiest man who ever lived. You just
can't believe it. That's an unbelievable story.

Speaker 5 (52:14):
I know.

Speaker 3 (52:14):
Yeah, yeah, have an opening band.

Speaker 2 (52:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:16):
I was gonna say maybe to me to keep nickpicking
on the weirdest thing. But that's what stuck out to
me the most, too, is that it was law. Yeah
you had to have a local band open for you.

Speaker 3 (52:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:25):
Man, that seems like a really bad law.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
Yeah, doesn't it?

Speaker 3 (52:29):
Us you're the local band?

Speaker 1 (52:30):
Yeah yeah, but again, but if you're if you're Zeppelin,
you're going we get stuck with this crap band because
of this stupid law.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
We just want to play our show. How about just
what are your parents rich or something? Why are you
guys opening for us? And that's awesome. And to be
sitting there, you know, sound checking and there are two
of the greatest band members of all time just watching you.
That's incredible but not fully formed. Right, So like Christopher,

(53:00):
if we sucked, it's not like when Christopher Cross was
playing the Hits and had like found his sound.

Speaker 1 (53:05):
This is some garbage band that he was in. Page
and plants like, oh my god. It's like when the
guy from Buck Jerry came from backstage to watch Hawk play.

Speaker 3 (53:15):
That's a true story on stage two.

Speaker 6 (53:18):
Yeah, that was unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (53:22):
Yeah, So there you go, music appreciation.

Speaker 2 (53:26):
What a story, Mark, Hi, try more of what really
matters after this.

Speaker 8 (53:31):
This is the Power Trip morning show on Okay.

Speaker 3 (53:46):
Dude do do Hey, welcome back and bye it is
and we're doing that what really matters and our guests
are here early, so Zacho went down to get him.
So momentarily we'll have Matt Walker, the National championship head
coach of the UW River Falls football squad from this
past season, mom terryline stud do you want to keep

(54:07):
doing what really matters till? Then?

Speaker 2 (54:08):
Sure? Let's do that, all right?

Speaker 1 (54:11):
I rat Former Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel is going
to be the Chargers offensive coordinator. He had a couple
of head coaching interviews, a couple of offensive coordinator inquiries,
including the Bucks and Eagles apparently really wanted him as OC.
But he's going with Herbert and Harbaugh. I can't do it. No,
he's gonna do it. He's doing it.

Speaker 2 (54:31):
Mike McDaniel going to go to the Chargers.

Speaker 3 (54:32):
What do I chose to be a OC instead of
an HC.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
I guess is there. I don't think it was available.
And even if he interviewed, I just don't think anybody
was interested. Yeah, and I would guess that this is
a loaded offense with a lot of weapons that he
can showcase when he does best. Yep. And the lastest
path back to a head coaching squad. And this kills
any shot at them moving on.

Speaker 1 (54:58):
From justin Herbert. Oh, because you don't take that job.
If two months later they're going to trade Herbert. You
guys like Sherbert love it, Sherbert be well. So that's
the thing. That's one of those Uh. I think it's Midwestern.
I always grew up Saint Sherbert with an R. It
doesn't exist. There's no R. It's like how Sauce would read,

(55:21):
there's no R.

Speaker 2 (55:22):
Blame me. Oh geez, he walks trophy.

Speaker 3 (55:27):
Look at that now we're talking.

Speaker 2 (55:30):
The trophy that came before he did.

Speaker 1 (55:33):
That's a gigantic that's at sweet man, that is worthy
of national Okay, that son of a bitch and the
Stag Bowl, it says head football.

Speaker 3 (55:43):
Coach of the u W River Falls National Championship D
three team.

Speaker 2 (55:49):
Look at this.

Speaker 3 (55:49):
Matt Walker has just joined us in studio.

Speaker 2 (55:52):
Hi, Matt, nice to me, Man, good to see you guys.
This is cool. I don't want to take it, as
you guys would say, off the rails already.

Speaker 11 (56:00):
But when we got in the car, did I hear
you guys talking about the Crawfordsville Monster.

Speaker 2 (56:03):
Let me tell you yeaht me.

Speaker 3 (56:05):
Tell you, brother, that's okay.

Speaker 2 (56:08):
I don't know. So again, how far is Union City
from from your hometown?

Speaker 3 (56:11):
See, we'd go there and race go carts when I
was a kid. Okay, in Crawfordsville, you got you know.
I don't know if that go cart track is still
there or not, but uh, there was a badass go
cart track in Crawfordsville, and I think it took us
a couple of hours to get there ways away.

Speaker 2 (56:23):
Yeah, yeah, I knew we had the Indiana connection.

Speaker 11 (56:25):
Yeah, of all the crawfords will history. You know, you
got the Ultimate Warriors from there, you got no way ultimate.
You got the first Indiana high school basketball. You know,
the legendary is start turning to Crawfords will one at
nineteen eleven. You got General Lou Wallace who pardoned Billy
the Kid from me. We got all this stuff, and
I thought, and all that ever gets talked about is

(56:47):
the Crawfordsville Monster.

Speaker 3 (56:48):
Well, I mean, did you see it?

Speaker 2 (56:50):
Do you hear that it killed the flock kill? I
heard the yeah?

Speaker 3 (56:59):
Man, well, command man, thank you. So now do you
really listen to the Power Trip or somebody fooling me?

Speaker 6 (57:04):
No?

Speaker 2 (57:04):
Every morning? This is you know, I was on Common Man,
and I wasn't. It was great.

Speaker 11 (57:11):
I wasn't lying to him, but I you know, I
don't list I listened to him when I'm in the
car because the stations on all the time.

Speaker 2 (57:17):
That's why I joke with him.

Speaker 11 (57:18):
I can tell if my wife's been driving my car
because it's off and I always keep it on. But
this is the one I listen to every day because
I'm taking the kids to school.

Speaker 2 (57:28):
It's just it's just my routine. So I listen to
you guys every day. Appreciate it. Thank you. You guys
seem smart.

Speaker 11 (57:34):
I'm not trying to butter you up because I'm excited
to be here, but you guys do such a good job.

Speaker 2 (57:38):
It's so much fun to listen to you guys us how.

Speaker 3 (57:40):
We helped you win the national championship.

Speaker 11 (57:44):
It took a lot of people because because you guys
are like my dog, no matter whether I win or lose,
Like I got you guys to smile tow like that.

Speaker 3 (57:53):
That's pretty cool.

Speaker 11 (57:54):
You guys are there for me whether we you know,
my own and ten season or the national title run.

Speaker 2 (57:58):
You guys are there every morning for me. Well, maybe
you can be there for me. Do you have an
extra stall in your garage?

Speaker 11 (58:04):
You know what's funny is I was listening to that
as well on the way and I have the same yes,
you know, oh mine, mine's a future garage sale situation
to be that hasn't happened, so it's temporary though.

Speaker 1 (58:16):
Yeah, yeah, I've been in my house for eleven years.

Speaker 2 (58:20):
I can I feel your pain.

Speaker 11 (58:22):
A little bit man, and I'm always the first one
to go, and mine's the one outside.

Speaker 1 (58:27):
Right, yes there, yes there, What do you do? River
Falls right over the border, right quick? Little John from
the Twin Cities spent a lot of time there in
college because one of my buddies played for River Falls,
went to River Falls. We had a lot of drunken
nights at some of the whole like hole in the wall,
dive bars.

Speaker 2 (58:45):
Of river Falls. It's a fun little party town.

Speaker 3 (58:47):
What does your buddy play there?

Speaker 1 (58:49):
Oh twenty jeez, twenty five years ago, almost almost would
have missed me. Yeah, it's honestly river Falls. I've said it,
and it's kind of gotten some attention virally is I said, yeah, sure,
but it is like a it's a movie setting downtown,
that homework and it's got charm. I say, you can't
put into words that place is and you're right, it

(59:11):
all revolves around this.

Speaker 2 (59:12):
It's a bar town.

Speaker 3 (59:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (59:14):
And it was so different coming from Indiana, right like
you were going to the bar.

Speaker 11 (59:19):
Maybe it was this negative not always negative, but it
wasn't like here where I didn't know. That's where you
go with your family, that's where you go have a
lunch meeting with I think I said it's getting attention.
I said it in one of the interviews. I said, Riverfalls,
you could go on a Friday afternoon. Here's at the
end of the bar, the mayor, the professor, a student
in the town, drunk having a beer, and nobody cares. Like,

(59:41):
that's just that's just our place, especial place.

Speaker 3 (59:45):
And you know what I try to explain to these
guys about growing up in Indiana as well, as we
had one lake and it was actually a man made
lake that they had filled in, you know, was like
a mine shaft or something that somebody filling up here.
Everybody's got water everywhere. We we had to specifically make
a lake if we wanted to go swimming.

Speaker 2 (01:00:04):
Yeah. It just was different, wasn't it. Yeah, But we
have the Indy five hundred.

Speaker 3 (01:00:07):
We did have five.

Speaker 2 (01:00:08):
I haven't missed one since nineteen eighty five?

Speaker 3 (01:00:10):
Are you serious? Eighty five dude? That's all awesome.

Speaker 11 (01:00:13):
Wow, it's kind of my families. Yeah, it's our it's
our family reunion. That's so speaking of if we go
all the way back.

Speaker 1 (01:00:20):
So Chris, just a day or so ago mention that
growing up right Indiana who's your Basketball was everything to
him and football was always so bad that he joked
that he barely even knew that Indiana had a football team,
even though he played football. It's you feel the exact
same way. Yeah, that's what was this week like for you?

Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
Watching that happen. So cool.

Speaker 11 (01:00:39):
My family's in Indiana. Hoo's your family. My brothers went there,
and yeah, you're the Bob Knight. It's the Bob Knight.
Yeah era that we grew up in. You thought he
walked on water. But yeah, Indiana football was always a struggle.
And you know, Bill Lynch was the head coach at DePaul.
I went to DePaul and coached there. Bill's head coach
at ball State for a while and had just gotten
released at ball Stone.

Speaker 2 (01:01:00):
I was an assistant to.

Speaker 11 (01:01:01):
Paul for a while and then for the coach I
played for after I got them playing there. And then
Bill came to DePaul after you got let go ball
State for a couple of years, and then he went
to Indiana to be the Dophins coordinator. Terry Heppner was
the head coach and sadly passed away brain cancer while
he was at Indiana, and Bill took over as the
head coach Indiana, we became close, so I spent a
lot of time in Indiana watching football games. What is

(01:01:22):
now Signetti's office was Bill's office overlooks the field. I
watched a lot of games in Indiana from Bill's office
that is now Kurt's office. But yeah, it was always
a struggle, just Indiana football could never get over the hump.

Speaker 2 (01:01:36):
What a legendary run by.

Speaker 1 (01:01:38):
This So now that we've seen it take place and
they did it right, he said he was gonna win.
He did a bunch of winning in year one. Didn't
know if it was a fluke. Obviously they went undefeated
this year. Do you think with the transfer portal that
this is still moving forward going to be an absolute
anomaly or is this something that might happen once every
handfull of years, Because it still feels to me like
it's a unicorn, that it's still so hard to pull off,

(01:02:00):
but it's not impossible like it might have been, you know,
twenty five years ago.

Speaker 11 (01:02:04):
Trying to wrap your head around modern day college football
is hard.

Speaker 2 (01:02:07):
Right now, I'm sure it's.

Speaker 11 (01:02:08):
A mess, right Like I keep saying, the product we're
watching on TV's never been better. What an amazing product
told it. I think it's better to watch in the
NFL again. It's so much fun. Yeah, right underneath the
layer we're watching, it's a you can't find a coach,
an administrator. I'll play or no one would say, oh,
it's in great shape. This is correct with the portal
in the NIL it's so out of control. We gotta

(01:02:31):
I've said, it's not more important than like, let's say,
our faith or our family. But college football is the best.
It is the best thing going. We're gonna lose our
game as we know it. If we're not, we're not careful.
We got we got to fix this sucker, or or
we're all in big trouble because it's so awesome it is. Man,
I didn't answer your question at all.

Speaker 2 (01:02:51):
I don't know. I don't know. No one can. Again,
you can't wrap your head around college football right now.

Speaker 1 (01:02:57):
But do you think somebody else could replicate what Kirches did,
which is find you know, the island of misfit toys,
say let's all get the band together somewhere and see
if we can make it one or two year run.

Speaker 2 (01:03:08):
I think so thanks that too.

Speaker 11 (01:03:09):
Again, I'm not like trying to give a sermon and
be mightier than now about college football. But doesn't it
just feel weird that you just doesn't feel like college
sports that you could do that, you know, but but
yeah you probably could.

Speaker 2 (01:03:22):
So do you?

Speaker 1 (01:03:23):
How much at the D three level? How much do
you feel the nil pull? Like, do you have to
worry that if one of your players is like kicking
some ass that all of a sudden, the money's gonna
draw him up to a higher level or give me
the impact on nil on D three?

Speaker 11 (01:03:38):
Yeah, you know, we are just transjaction sid sitting here.
We were just talking about on the way here. We've
been kind of deflected from it, which is nice and
kind of a relief. It seems more pure at our
level right now. But like our left tackle DJ Fox,
he's six nine three twenty he just signed games.

Speaker 2 (01:03:55):
DJ Fox is how big six nine three toy? That's
a huge bitch nice I can go down. So we've
been deflected. But he's our first major.

Speaker 11 (01:04:12):
You know, you go on ESPN and win the national
title and all of a sudden, Yeah he's and we're
happy for him.

Speaker 2 (01:04:17):
He sounds like a monster. That guy's gigantic, and that
I'm not.

Speaker 11 (01:04:20):
I'm not not happy, but like, and he was just
in the office and we're hugging and crying, and he's
leaving today and and I'm so but it's it is
still kind of a kicking the stomach, and it maybe
is a sign. I don't think we're completely deflected from
some of the issues going on right now. It's all
coming and trickling down, but yeah, it's still still different.
At our level, we're not we're not dealing with near

(01:04:42):
the issues that they're dealing with the highest level.

Speaker 1 (01:04:44):
But like you just said, when you guys are on ESPN,
everybody can see it. That's one of the main reasons
why a lot of these colleges don't do spring football anymore,
because they don't want to show what they have.

Speaker 11 (01:04:55):
It's unbelievable, it's great, and and these rosters are such hemorrhaged,
Like there's teams that don't have enough guys to do
full spring practice in spring ball because of this.

Speaker 2 (01:05:07):
We had a total mess in our hands. We got
it again.

Speaker 11 (01:05:08):
We have to clean this thing up or we're going
to lose our sport as we know it again.

Speaker 3 (01:05:13):
If you're just tuning in, you wonder who we're talking to.
That's Matt Walker. He is the head coach and quarterbacks coach,
by the way, as well, for fifteen seasons at the
helm of the UW River Falls football squad.

Speaker 2 (01:05:23):
Yeah, one, fifteen years.

Speaker 3 (01:05:24):
Fifteen years.

Speaker 2 (01:05:25):
Man, that's a good run. Man. It was like yesterday
into a.

Speaker 3 (01:05:28):
Division three national champions this year. Played in Canton on
January fourth and beat North Central College twenty four fourteen,
who was, by the way, the reigning national champion. Your run,
there's been legendary. I've got so many questions. I'm so
glad you came in early because I got a million
things I want to talk to you about. But at
the very bottom of this list of things that I
was reading about you, when you moved to River Falls,

(01:05:50):
you joined the town ball baseball team and played for
the squad. Is that right?

Speaker 2 (01:05:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (01:05:55):
Well I did think the common man thing. I talked
about this story on there. It's gotten a lot of attention,
But yeah, I was. I played both in college football.
Baseball was a way better baseball player was a super
mediocre quarterback.

Speaker 2 (01:06:06):
But loved them both and then stayed. I was going
to go to dental school.

Speaker 11 (01:06:10):
That was my plan, and then I had a unique
run in baseball, thought I could play beyond college.

Speaker 2 (01:06:16):
It wasn't more. It was more of a delusion than
a dream.

Speaker 11 (01:06:18):
But so I didn't even finish my requirements for dental schools.
Tried to play some pro ball, some amateurs. It didn't work,
and so went back to The Paul to be an
assistant baseball coach.

Speaker 2 (01:06:28):
That's how my career got started.

Speaker 11 (01:06:31):
And actually became the head baseball coach at De Paul
for ten years. But anyway, I was continuing to play
and I was kind of running my own town ball
team in Indiana. I had no idea at the time how
passionate people are about town ball up here.

Speaker 3 (01:06:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:06:46):
Right, So we had a kind of but you're right,
not like this. But anyway, I had a nice run
there and it was fun. And then when I got
the job here, I said, okay, it's it's a good
time to stop playing ball and be a normal human
and see my family.

Speaker 2 (01:07:00):
And I'm here. I'm on the job.

Speaker 11 (01:07:01):
A couple of days in the mayor of our town,
Don Richards, he comes to my office and he's this
old guy, looks like the Monopoly Guy's an unbelievable person.
Sits down on the office and he goes, you're gonna
play for the Fighting Fish and I said, what the
hell are the Fish?

Speaker 2 (01:07:14):
And he said, it's our talent ball team. And I've
I've dug your dirt.

Speaker 11 (01:07:17):
I know you can play. So yeah, short version, I
end up playing with these guys. They become a first friend.
I didn't know anybody up here. They became my first friends.
And I play, you know, ten years with those guys
and had a fun run, probably my best I've ever played.

Speaker 2 (01:07:30):
So you know what's crazy. I was just looking at
your Wikipedia page and we're going to make this for
a second all about us, because this is our show.

Speaker 1 (01:07:36):
We've said so many times that if you go back
to the start of the Power to a morning show,
one of the greatest things that we had that I
don't think exists anymore is patience. We had the ability
to be bad for a long time. Our show was
not good, but so we didn't have I know what
you're getting at, but we didn't. But we didn't have ratings.

(01:07:58):
We weren't that good. But they let us basically fail
upwards and get our feet set. Right, man, I was
looking at your records. This is like kind of like us, right,
Look at listen to this. This so when you took
over one in nine, two and eight, oh in ten, No,
this is like obviously this is a good thing, right,
But they must have known, like, no, this guy can coach.

(01:08:19):
We just got to let him figure it out and
give him time. Three and seven, four and six, four
and six, four and six, three and seven, two and eight.
There's no coach that survives that now, right, But shout
out to River Falls for saying we believe in him.

Speaker 2 (01:08:32):
We're not just going to pull the plug. Now.

Speaker 1 (01:08:35):
Look at the last handful of years post COVID nine
and two, seven and four, seven and three, seven and three,
fourteen and one in a national title.

Speaker 2 (01:08:41):
So giving you the ability to get.

Speaker 1 (01:08:44):
Better, to build a program, to believe in your program,
that just doesn't happen anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:08:49):
That's awesome that they gave you that time to learn. Yeah,
I'm awfully blest. I think a couple things.

Speaker 11 (01:08:54):
One our athletic director now current Crystal Lanning, she's amazing,
she's the best. My boss is incredible. But she was
the assistant ad when I took the job, and actually
was on the head of the hiring committee that hired me.
But she was also an athletic trainer, and she was
with us every day, kind of in the I call
it in the mud, with us in these everyday, you know,

(01:09:14):
parts of our job.

Speaker 2 (01:09:15):
She saw what we were doing. I think she knew
we were building this thing right.

Speaker 11 (01:09:19):
She could tell, even in losses that that something special
was kind of happening. And in the meantime she became
the ad. We built, you know, this beautiful athletic facility
and I went from the worst stuff in the league
to at the time, the best building in the country
in all Division three sports.

Speaker 2 (01:09:34):
And she knew something. I think she knew something was happening.

Speaker 11 (01:09:37):
And it again, it just took longer than anybody wanted
to Nobody was more frustrated than I was with how
long it took. But she knew we were doing it right.
And you know, again, hats off to her in the
school and means a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:09:49):
Yeah it doesn't.

Speaker 11 (01:09:50):
I joke that I should have been fired a couple times,
probably in the way it normally works, and thank god
they didn't, and I'm glad I could. That's why I
think you saw me crying like a baby after the game.
If you watch the postgame interview, there's a lot of
emotion there because I do. I immediately thought of all
those people that hung in there with me for all
those years, and all those players that didn't have success

(01:10:10):
that worked just as hard, and yeah, man, it was
I kind of feel like we won the championship for
a lot of people beyond the current players deserve all
the credit and current coaches, but it it meant a
lot for a lot of people beyond them.

Speaker 3 (01:10:22):
It's again, I have a million questions. I don't how
long you can stay to it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:25):
I can stay as long as you guys, well you.

Speaker 3 (01:10:26):
Can just be part of the show. Cool. So let's
get all the questions out the way in the first
few segments here. But what I find about what you
do to be even more fascinating is that when you're
talking about D three outside of the huge Bitch, he
was talking about a couple of moments ago that hit
the button for it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:40):
That's a huge bit.

Speaker 3 (01:10:42):
You don't have a lot of players who are coming
there thinking that there's more football ahead of them, So
they have.

Speaker 2 (01:10:46):
To love the game. Man.

Speaker 3 (01:10:48):
You've got to love it enough to go to college
and play football and to give so much your life
to it. You got to find special kids to do that,
and you have to find special kids who love it
who are also are good as well. How do you
do that?

Speaker 2 (01:11:02):
Well, you hit it on the head. I think even
today there's still maybe a misconception of this Division three
where his kids are unbelievable player. I mean you take
like kayleb Blaha quarterback if you have him on the list,
but here's the metro player that you're out of Minneapolis.

Speaker 11 (01:11:16):
Fred they kid and it's like, thank god he's I
don't this is gonna come out weird. Like I'm not
saying thank god he's gone, because we've take him back
a million years over and over again. But if he
was a freshman now doing like could he could he
survive this portal time anymore?

Speaker 2 (01:11:30):
Probably?

Speaker 6 (01:11:30):
Not?

Speaker 2 (01:11:30):
Like this kid.

Speaker 11 (01:11:32):
He just had the best season and probably the history
of college football at all levels. I mean, this kid's
gonna get it. I've had all thirty two NFL teams
reach out to me. It's like, oh, these kids have
a chance. DJ Fox, I mean, he's gonna get an opportunity.
We been Bizia tight end played with the Bucks for
a little bit, like we've had kids. But you're right,
these kids have to absolutely love it because they're lifting
every day too, they're working out every day too. They're

(01:11:53):
all the sacrifices you hear and see on ESPN with
the highest level guys. Our guys are all doing the
same stuff without the without athletic money.

Speaker 2 (01:12:01):
But yeah, like around here, people kind of understand that
we all.

Speaker 11 (01:12:04):
Know the the star of our high school around here
that played in our league, let's say, or at Saint
John's or Bethelo one of these teams.

Speaker 2 (01:12:12):
So people get it around here a little bit more.

Speaker 11 (01:12:13):
But like we recruit out in Arizona, you stay Division
three and they cringe like it's like recess or you just.

Speaker 2 (01:12:19):
Roll the ball out.

Speaker 11 (01:12:20):
You gotta there's some education outside of maybe the Midwest
where Division three is a little more prominent.

Speaker 3 (01:12:25):
Fascinating stuff. Yeah, congrats man, that's such a cool And
look at this guy behind me, Parker Fox just walked
in as well. That is truly a huge bit.

Speaker 2 (01:12:35):
Yeah he's very tall, that other guy, that DJ Fox.
He's got some heightened eyes on me though. I'll tell
you what, Yeah, he's a monster.

Speaker 1 (01:12:41):
No, Matt, did you have you ever had anybody at
River Falls play for nine straight years?

Speaker 2 (01:12:47):
No, Caleb, he was a He had a medical red.

Speaker 11 (01:12:50):
Shirt to give him his extra year, which was a
sixth year, because he red shirted at went on the
state before coming to us.

Speaker 2 (01:12:56):
Got it, Parker basically sophomore. Yeah, a lot of people
go to gods for seven years. We're called doctors. All right.

Speaker 1 (01:13:06):
Matt Walker is here, head coach of the River Falls
national champion D three football squad.

Speaker 2 (01:13:11):
That's fantastic. We'll talk to him more. Parker foxes here,
Mark Parrish is here. The news is next, Matt. You
can just hang out and like Chris said, let's just
do the show. I'm here all this crack stupid jokes
in an apartment meeting. I don't really want to go
to of course, let's skip it. Here's the champ. You
can do whatever you want now. The news is next.
It's the Power to morning show on the Fan.
