Record breaking travels expected for the week of Thanksgiving. According
to Triple.

Speaker 10 (07:23):
A, about eighty million people across the country expected to
travel for the holiday. Of people driving, roads will be
packed all week, but the highest levels of congestion will
be between noon and nine.

Speaker 6 (07:39):
Tamari Hey, speaking of travel, CNN had this kind of
in depth piece the other day about like, look, we
missed the boat when it comes to a high speed
rail in the US. But they were laying out like
four paths that would still be possible. You know, we
can't do it all over the country, not in our
lifetime at least. But one of the ones that I

(08:02):
thought was interesting was basically like New York to Chicago
is a path that they think is possible. And they
explained why the rest of them are all like, you know,
like San Francisco to La But I'm like, man that
would be kind of cool. I don't know how it
would help us much because we just have to get
to Chicago. But it's just faster to fly to New York.

(08:23):
I'm not driving to Chicago and then taking a six
hour train. But I wish we had high speed rail
in this country, just as an option.

Speaker 4 (08:31):
Yeah, it'll never happen. No, I don't know. I think
you have to.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
You have to fundamentally shift the culture of the United States.
We're driving culture. I don't think you can change that.
It's the best. Trains are the best. There's so much fun,
so much when he was in Rise, I don't.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Know why you have to make everything about sex. I
wish you'd stop.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
You a good time good Yeah, a lot of fun.

Speaker 6 (08:56):
Must There's no nice way to say this. I'm just
going to say it. You seem like an Amtrak kind
of a guy.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
Hey, you would be good for you in the caboose
twelve pack and hit the amtrack. Yeah, next album? Would
you say six hours? Gonna need more than six hours
from Chicago New York? I guess high speed rail.

Speaker 6 (09:18):
Maybe that's the title of your new podcast, Just twelve
pack and an Amtrak you like, get on a train
with must and you see what happens, and you record
it and you post it.

Speaker 7 (09:25):
When you brought up travel, I thought, wow, okay, and
he must be talking about the four and seven Minnesota
Vikings book that January sixth vacation flight.

Speaker 8 (09:33):
Oh no, January sixth, January sixth, where are you going
to be?

Speaker 4 (09:40):
This season is gone? Seasons? You don't have to do that.

Speaker 7 (09:45):

equipment and do all that kind of thing to the
exit interviews.

National Mall or the US Capitol or.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
Jordan Edison is loose on the White House.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
A woman who as a child stabbed her friend in
an attempt to appease Sauce's exact opposite, is back in custody.
Morgan guys Are apparently cut off a monitoring bracelet, left
a group home in Wisconsin. She was found Sunday night
at a truck stop in a small Illinois town just
south of Chicago. Guyser had been in a mental institution

(10:21):
since twenty fourteen. Judge earlier this year proved a conditional
release plan that allowed her to live in a group home,
and she had to wear a ankle monitor, but she cut
it off. Remember that she was trying to appease Sauce's
exact opposite slender Man.

Speaker 4 (10:50):

Speaker 1 (10:52):
Okay, you can't find a slender Man there.

Speaker 6 (10:54):
I'm trying not to defend my friends from Scounie, but
I'm going to. You got to remember, Ben, Yeah, they're
about ten years behind the rest of us, so like
they're still just finding the Internet, right, They're still they're
probably just now getting into things like Twitter and Instagram,
so they are just learning about conspiracy theories. So they

(11:16):
just haven't debunked Slenderman yet like the rest of us.
So they're still all in. I just so just give
them a couple of years. I'll figure it out.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
I can't wait to hear the rest of the story
behind this. I wonder if she was running from, you know,
just to get away, or if she was running towards someone.
I wonder, what the.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
Heck the story is you screaming, mister, mister, I have
no idea.

Speaker 6 (11:32):
Maybe she thought there was high speed rail in Chicago,
so she was making her no ice.

Speaker 4 (11:36):
Man. I don't know, man, I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (11:40):

the Big Laplowski, brilliant.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
I like it, after holding a contest to name the plow,
The reference to the nineteen eighty eight ninety eight comedy
The Plow was unveiled the Friday evening during the Christmas
City Parade. Great film, Christmas City.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
Great City.

Speaker 6 (12:04):
Were you still referencing the Big Lebowski or what were
you saying?

Speaker 4 (12:07):
Yeah, I don't know. It was weird.

Speaker 6 (12:09):
He said Christmas City, and you go, great film. I'm
sure there's a movie called Christmas So does that just.

Speaker 4 (12:13):
Mean you weren't listening the Hallmark channel. I'm it was
just weird.

Speaker 6 (12:18):
Again, if we could play the audio back, it was
and it was Christmas City.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Great film.

Speaker 6 (12:23):
Yeah, there's a really weird way to react to that sentence,
speaking of great films.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
A gold pocket watch that survived the sinking of the
Titanic has sold from more than two point three million.

Speaker 4 (12:33):

Yeah Strauss and his wife Ada. We're depicted in the
nineteen ninety seven film Titanic because the couple who refused
to separate in their final moments and perished in the
disaster that claimed.

Speaker 6 (13:08):
Fifty Then the maiden voyage is the key here. It's
like you're taking off for the first time. It goes
the wrong wing and you sink to the bottom of
the ocean, just like this season for JJ McCarty, it's
just work.

Speaker 1 (13:28):

Speaker 3 (19:44):
Family four pack of tickets today on our contest page.

Speaker 4 (19:47):
It's KFE dot com. You were contests. I love ice fishing,
do you?

Speaker 3 (19:53):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (19:54):
Yeah, absolutely? Are you kidding me? It's a blast. I've
never been.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
I've never had.

Speaker 4 (19:58):
It's nice and heat wa And then you get the
TV on.

Speaker 7 (20:03):
You're watching like old Hogan's Heroes episodes.

Speaker 4 (20:07):
That's not a great job of watching the bomber really
just having some bears staring in holes.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
Well, the way I understand it, the way that people
do it around around these parts, these here parts. There
are obviously some old school ice fishermen, because I see
them on our lake where they're just sitting on a bucket. Right,
That's that's some real way to some real love. Yeah,
it seems like most everybody else it's hardly fishing. You

(20:35):
sit in Yeah, you sit in a nice heated enclosure.
You have a TV. You've got food in there, all
your snacks. You have a a machine that drops down
a probe that basically tells you where the fish off.

Speaker 4 (20:49):
It's got a camera that shows you.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Yeah, and then you just drop your line in front
of the fish's face and then you sit back and
wait for your thing to go.

Speaker 4 (20:56):
Yeah, and then you pull up on the rod. And
then when you want.

Speaker 7 (20:59):
To go to sleep, you just put up the rattle reel.
It's up on the wall and so that way, when
a fish gets on the rattle reel like makes a noise,
and so then they wake up, pull the line out,
and get your fish back to sleep.

Speaker 4 (21:12):
It's fantastic.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
It is the truest form of catching versus fishing. There
is that, But there's literally no fishing. That's there's no
sport of fishing. And timing is everything.

Speaker 4 (21:23):
On it though? Is that right?

Speaker 11 (21:24):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (21:24):
Yeah, because they'll be flowing through like at certain times
of the morning or in the evening, and so then
there's other times where you're just you know, you're just
getting skonked and you're just sitting there getting skonked.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
It seems difficult, But you just said you went to
bed with the line in, so you just can have
a line in the entire time. So where's the sport
and that?

Speaker 4 (21:43):
What do you mean, where's the sport in that?

Speaker 3 (21:47):
You still you just said you defended it by saying, well,
there's the you know, there's the timing of it.

Speaker 4 (21:51):
It's like, well, if it's in there all the time.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Okay, you know, I must I believe you. I've never
done it, but it sounds like something that out of believe.

Speaker 4 (21:58):
It's a blast.

Speaker 6 (21:59):
Yes, sure, out outside it's an.

Speaker 7 (22:02):
Excuse want to be cold, it's an excuse to drink. Yeah,
it's like drinking in your garage. But you're must.

Speaker 4 (22:11):
Just beyond excuses. I love it.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
I love the fact that that dudes came up with
a outdoor sport away from the house in the winter
time that gets them away from the family and the wife. Absolutely,
and it's been legitimized by an industry. Yes, yeah, it's genius.
I'm not I'm not hating on I think it's genius.

Speaker 4 (22:30):
You guys have your thing and people can have theirs. Yeah,
we all have a thing. Judgi have fun.

Speaker 6 (22:36):
Must don't you think it's gonna be good practice though,
to go sit on a bucket, because eventually you can
hold up a sound that says god, bless anything else?

Speaker 1 (22:44):
My God?

Speaker 4 (22:46):
What have you heard nothing from here?

Speaker 6 (22:52):
Your monster of a wife is now. She knows your
planning and she wants you out.

Speaker 4 (22:56):
Hello. Hi, She's got a terrible voice. She needs to
stop smoking. She sounds sauce. Would you like to do
sports man? I would love to.

Speaker 8 (23:06):
It's time for a fan five on the Power Trip,
presented by All Around your Timber Tech deck building contractor.

Speaker 5 (23:14):
The Vikings lost yesterday twenty three to six to the Packers.
We can talk all about that in Vikings News next segment.
They also will battle the Seahawks a week from yesterday
in Seattle at three oh five pregame at one. The
Seahawks are a nine and a half point favorite.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
Wow, how do we feel about that spread?

Speaker 4 (23:41):
I thought it'd be larvel digits too. That's why I
might get to that by the end. That's what I'm asking.
I'm surprised it's in the single digit.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
And again, I mean, we haven't reported enough. We lost
our left tackle and left guard. I don't know if
they're out for the week, or how bad it is here.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
I mean here we are celebrating the fact that, hey,
all of our starting five are finally playing together.

Speaker 4 (24:07):
This is great.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
And then the end of the game, the left side
of our offensive line is injured.

Speaker 6 (24:13):
And the first McCarthy interception, if you want to blame
somebody besides McCarthy's right school gets absolutely schooled. And then
was it Parsons got a hand on the ball. Gary Gary, Okay,
Gary got a hand on the ball and the ball
kind of came out sideways and gets picked off.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
Yeah, I know it should go down the stat books,
but it's like, how do you how do you chip
a guy? You chipped the guy and he still ran
around you with enough speed and timing to affect the
quarterback and actually hit his arm.

Speaker 4 (24:45):
I don't know it was Mike actually made darrisaw a
little bit of his B word. Yeah I did, Yeah
for sure.

Speaker 7 (24:51):
Two of his sacks came against Daris got him on
the inside, rip, got him on the outside speed rush.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
He's talented man, that he It is a monster. The
Seahawks have won five of six. The only game they've
lost is by two to the best team in the NFL.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
The Rams.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yeah, I know, that's why I'm I'm a little surprised
it's not a double digit spread at this point. Watching
the way they've played, watching the way we've played, it
doesn't really matter. I mean, we can go out there
and you know, you know, we can pull a Detroit
Lyons sort of thing, but it's going to take a
monumental effort. I mean literally, we're going to turn the
Titanic around, you know, one to eighty and be like, oh,

(25:31):
we're a completely different team in six days.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
Well, if any defense knows how to beat that quarterback,
you'd be this one, right.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, but the Rams game was the
only game that he actually looked like Sam donold well
that last same games that he played for us. And
you look at the formula that the Rams have have
always had, you know, this new, this new like revamped,
youthful Rams defense.

Speaker 4 (25:53):
We don't have those, dudes.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
You know, it's like schematically, you can maybe try to
emulate some of the things they did coverage wise, but
you can't just you can't just drop and manufacture the
type of defensive line that they have, Like we don't.
Our guys haven't proven to do that the whole year, solus. Yeah,
I'd love to get into Sam Darnold's face and affect
the way that he plays and you know, hurry up

(26:16):
his process and makes it make him like make some
errant throws.

Speaker 4 (26:19):
But we haven't really been able to do that.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
We also need an offense that would make it.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
Matter, correct, Yeah, we have to play with a lead,
like we have to put stress on them by scoring points,
which again we haven't done.

Speaker 5 (26:33):
Well.

Speaker 4 (26:33):
Let's just keep it positive though for a second.

Speaker 6 (26:35):
If the Packers go on to win the Super Bowl,
JJ McCarthy did lead the Vikings down the field for
a field goal and we technically leve the future Super
Bowl champions three to nothing.

Speaker 4 (26:43):
Well, so missus doubtfires here. So that's something right now.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
If the playoffs started tomorrow and they don't, the Rams
would be the number one seed in the NFC and
he would be the number one seed in the AFC.

Speaker 4 (26:59):
The pat that's right, yeah, yeah, because they won again
is nine and ten and two.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
Yeah, so the Rams and the Patriots would have the
first round by and here's the rest of the seeds.
This must have been Could it still be this way?
November twenty third, Yeah, I wonder how early. I wonder
if this before the Eagles game into because they have
the Eagles at number two, the Bears number three, the

(27:28):
Buccaneers at number four, but dude hurt his shoulder yesterday,
right h left shoulder? Yeah, Seahawks number five, and the
Packers a number six, and the forty nine Ers at
number seven.

Speaker 4 (27:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Over the AFC, you got, as I said, the Patriots
number one, then you got the Denver number two.

Speaker 4 (27:44):
How weird is that?

Speaker 1 (27:45):
By the way, India number three, but at disappointing loss
for them yesterday.

Speaker 4 (27:50):
Yeah they Yeah, they should have won that game.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
Baltimore, Yeah, Baltimore number four, Chargers at number five, Jacksonville
and number six.

Speaker 4 (28:01):
Wow, how about that? What a weird year this, I know, Yeah,
very weird.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
Buffalo barely getting in at number.

Speaker 4 (28:06):
Seven, surprising.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Everything about everything I just said is surprising. The Bears
at number three over there, are you kidding me?

Speaker 5 (28:14):
And all the way down to ten in the AFC,
the Kansas City Chiefs.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know about you guys, but
the NFC seems like the stronger of the conference. Yea sure, yeah,
although I would love to see a Rams New England
matchup in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 6 (28:30):
Brady Bowl again, right, the the big upset way back
in the day, wasn't it Rams Patriots.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
When the Great Show on Turf was happening?

Speaker 7 (28:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (28:40):
Oh yeah, way way all the way back then. Yeah,
one oh two. Yeah, I suppose you're right.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
Yeah, I didn't see Indianapolis find a way in. But
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
I know their style of their style of ball is
kind of fundable. Yeah, I think about this, Hey, Maxo,
can you put a number on this. If if the
Patriot won a Super Bowl in about ten months from now,
how many little Stefan digs would we see that?

Speaker 4 (29:07):
Bet be over? Bet? They have their next dynasty already.
They're gonna have twenty two.

Speaker 8 (29:13):
I mean they're gonna have twenty two, eleven on offense
and eleven on defense.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
After that camera, did he just get engaged to Cardi B.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
Yeah, but he's got like like three other kids coming
like the same time.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
She's gonna have literally.

Speaker 8 (29:30):
Yeah, him and Nick Cannon is going to be the
Peyton Manning and Tom Brady rivalry of our day.

Speaker 6 (29:35):
It's like when you're on a deserted island, though, and
you throw a message in a bottle you don't expect
all of the bottles to be found, right, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
Tell yeah, those are the ones he knows about, right boy, right, tell.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
Me about the Wolves real quick.

Speaker 5 (29:51):
The Wolves play tonight. They battled the Kings at nine.
That game will be joined on the fan halftime of
the Monday night game, which is the Niners and the Panthers.
The Wild won three nothing and the Gophers went winless
on the road this season.

Speaker 4 (30:09):
Yeah, man, the Wild, they're doing crazy things again.

Speaker 6 (30:11):
Yes, re Volstead three shutouts in his last four games.
He leads the NHL with three shutouts.

Speaker 4 (30:17):
The Wild.

Speaker 6 (30:18):
They're nine one and one in their last eleven and
they have scored first in their last twelve games. They're
just the fifth team in the last thirty years to
do that. Wow, twelve straight games they've scored first. The
Wall in Saint Paul Panna and he yes, Provolstead is
six h to two with a one point nine to
four goals against average.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
He's twenty three years old.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
He's twenty three years old. Ye, I didn't know that party.

Speaker 6 (30:44):
He was our first rounder like he was a baby essentially,
and struggled down in the minors. But as Zach and
some other people that follow Hockey have pointed out it
might have just been the team in front of him,
because it looks like he's a frequent He's got oh yeah,
good players in front of him.

Speaker 4 (30:58):
He's great, So Zach goes, is he technically our number two?

Speaker 3 (31:02):
Well, I mean technically yes, and I think going into
the season for sure. But the way he's been playing,
it's definitely looking more like a rotation because Gus, by
the way, for his part, has been playing really really
well too.

Speaker 4 (31:16):
So the great thing is if you got two good goalies,
you have two.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
Good goalies in the NHL, and they are playing really
nice with each other. They both love the fact that
they can depend on each other, and it's it's a
really good locker room right now, which is crazy to say.

Speaker 4 (31:31):
We're considering where we were just a few weeks ago.

Speaker 11 (31:33):
Well let's go man, well said, that's how he's got
something right now.

Speaker 4 (31:37):
Yeah, Carell scored is thirteenth.

Speaker 6 (31:38):
All right, Vikings News In a second, we'll break it
down with Ben Leeber after this.

Food's great and it was just a lot of fun.
And so my brother golf place. Yes, okay, got it.
My brother is on the nineteenth, I'm the eighteenth of
November our birthdays, and so we always try to get
together and do that. So we had a bunch of
friends and it was just an absolute bless same year.

Speaker 6 (33:06):
So you guys were born one day apart. You guys
like twins where one of you was born at like
eleven fifty five and the other I was like twelve.

Speaker 4 (33:11):
Or five am, just by eleven years difference. Eleven years difference.
Your parents only had one day that they banged.

Speaker 8 (33:17):
Yeah, one very specific day that they banged, like Valentine's Day.

Speaker 4 (33:22):
Why God, Norma, Actually, yeah, I think about that. I
think I just get the one day too. Damn it.
It's a really long gestation period for your mom. Yeah.
Oh yeah, yeah, I wasn't ready like an elephant on
stereoids eleven years. Do you see our guy Nate? No,
so he had a friends giving? Oh so yeah, come on,
what the hell is that Nate?

Speaker 3 (33:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (33:44):
Friends? Yeah, Nate runs that place. Yeah yeah he's the best.
I love that guy. But yeah, so, yeah, they had
a friends giving.

Speaker 7 (33:51):
Friends giving. They get together every year and have a Thanksgiving.
But it's just friends.

Speaker 4 (33:55):
No idea what that means people you hang out. I've
never heard of friends show. That's true. Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
Hey, hey check it out. I know we're gonna vices
real quick. Thanks to our friends Raco. Did you guys
see that Pete Carroll fired Chip Kelly last night?

Speaker 4 (34:11):
Sure?

Speaker 7 (34:12):
Ye?

Speaker 1 (34:12):
Did you know that Chip Kelly was his offensive coordinator?
Did you know that he was the highest paid offensive
coordinator in the league?

Speaker 4 (34:17):
Nope? Sez maybe what twelve games? Yeah? Fired? Fired?

Speaker 5 (34:23):
I think I saw the stat that they've scored like
fifty three points in eight games.

Speaker 1 (34:27):
They're two and nine.

Speaker 6 (34:28):
Hey, I wonder if we already have a Tom Brady
is a Michael's Jordan kind of a situation where didn't
we hear that Brady was like, we ain't signing Donald.

Speaker 4 (34:37):
I don't want Donald?

Speaker 6 (34:39):
Yeah right, yeah, yeah with Gino Smith and Gino Smith's
been a disaster and Sam Donald's been awesome. I wonder
if it's gonna be one of those things where Jordan
as a front office guy too, was just terrible. Sometimes
the greats just can't do it. Yeah, when they're not
on the field. Wizards were really good, right, But like
the Bob Katz or whatever in the Hornets or whatever, Like,
I wonder if Brady's going.

Speaker 4 (34:59):
To be the same thing where he's just he's, you.

Speaker 6 (35:02):
Know, just too confident in his scouting abilities and he's
just going to be a terrible front office guy.

Speaker 4 (35:08):
If he has a lot of saying it sounds like
he's going to the door.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
Or I mean, would Sam Darnald be Sam Donald if
he was under Chip Kelly's offense?

Speaker 4 (35:15):
Fair, We'll never know, good question.

Speaker 8 (35:18):
Luckily for Tom there's president in that Raiders organization as well.

Speaker 4 (35:22):
They're terrible and they've been terrible my whole.

Speaker 6 (35:23):
Life, and Gino was not. Gino was pretty solid in Seattle.
Yeah Righty resurrected his career, made a lot of money,
played well, he was good and now he looks like
as again.

Speaker 4 (35:33):
So I don't know.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
Yeah, six million dollars a year they were paying him
to be the offensive coordinator?

Speaker 4 (35:39):
Wow? Really they were?

Speaker 1 (35:40):
Yeh six mil? Yeah? Coach college for last.

Speaker 5 (35:45):
Well was Oregon and then he was the Ohio State
offensive coordinator. I think he was also at U c
l A. He's been a lot of places.

Speaker 6 (35:54):
If you made six million dollars a year being the
offensive coordinator in Las Vegas, Nevada, that can pay for
like seven bottles of water, yeah right, and maybe two
breakfast buffets tops.

Speaker 4 (36:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
Well, and if you're not careful, you have to borrow
Muss's bucket, play some.

Speaker 4 (36:12):
Drums on it.

Speaker 6 (36:13):
I was gonna say that that guy that plays drums
right outside of Planet Hollywood, that guy actually shreds on
the buck.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
Yeah, we can't make eye contact with him because then,
oh yeah, they get pissed, they get pissed. Oh you
can't listen. My ears are right here.

Speaker 6 (36:25):
And that guy that plays the drums right outside of
Planet Hollywood. There's also a magic show there a lot
of the time. So sometimes it's a guy drumming while
a guy's doing slight a hand and I don't know
who I'm supposed to pay.

Speaker 4 (36:34):
I'm just going to go inside a game. THHC.

Speaker 6 (36:36):
I don't think so. There's a magic show right there too,
same entrance sauce. You ready, Yeah, let's do a Viking snooze.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (36:46):
Did you guys know that Chip Kelly was the Eagles
head coach for two seasons, then the Niners coach.

Speaker 4 (36:53):
I don't remember him. I don't know. I don't remember
him coach all Year twenty sixteen head coach. I don't
remember that series, all right?

Speaker 6 (37:05):
Do you guys want positivity or negativity about the Vikings game?

Speaker 4 (37:09):
Sure?

Speaker 2 (37:09):
Where could you find where? Do you want to start. Yeah, yeah,
there's only one positive.

Speaker 6 (37:15):
Will Rekert hit field goals of fifty two and fifty nine.
He is now the first player in NFL history to
have four field goals of fifty nine or more in
one season. Wow, that's a hell of a stat right, Yeah,
first guys talent four or more from fifty nine plus
in the same season. He's the best draft pick they've
ever drafted. You mean crazy so far?

Speaker 2 (37:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (37:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, so this regime, it's he's
the best pick they've ever had.

Speaker 4 (37:42):
Probably true.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
I mean, I think it's a really compelling argument that
she's the most productive for sure.

Speaker 4 (37:49):
Who else is even in the conversation Addison, Addison, Yeah, Addison,
Donovan Jackson.

Speaker 2 (37:54):
Yeah, and Addison unfortunately is a product of like, you
gotta have a guy that can get you the ball.

Speaker 4 (38:00):
We all know that he's talented, but you gotta have
a guy that can throw to you.

Speaker 6 (38:02):
All right, So, Reiker, it's awesome. That's the positivity. Here's
the negativity. We all know that, you know, we're debating
how many yards or whatever, but four yards right net
offense in the second half. You always love when this
kind of a stat throws gets thrown out, and then
ESPN dot com or whatever service you're reading has to
throw this little disclaimer at the end. The Vikings hadn't

(38:22):
finished a half, any half with as few as four
yards since at least nineteen ninety one. And the reason
why they say at least nineteen ninety one is Sports
Radars research only goes back to nineteen ninety one. God,
so the way that they track those kinds of stats.
I'm sure somebody could go through box scores or whatever,

(38:44):
but sure there is a less deeckle year, right, But
the system that they use, the whatever the computer program
they use at sports Radar does not go back for
than nineteen ninety one for that, So that's how bad
four yards for an entire half is.

Speaker 4 (38:59):
And only the second gear that they did not score
a touchdown?

Speaker 6 (39:02):
This were we what you guys were following it more
closely than I was. Were we something like minus seventeen
at one point in the second half?

Speaker 4 (39:10):
Yeah, it was worse than.

Speaker 7 (39:11):
T minus ten in the uh it would have been
yarded you mean yeah yeah yeah in the third quarter yeah, yeah,
early yeah, third quarter, yeah you must yeah, we have this.

Speaker 6 (39:21):
Is the record, Like, how close were we from just
breaking the record for worst half in the history of
the NFL.

Speaker 4 (39:27):
That I don't know.

Speaker 7 (39:28):
All I know is that they went basically three three
and outs in a row from the third quarter into
the fourth, that all coming after the ball hits price
and then that turned over there and then after we
get those three three and outs, we go pick pick,
So our processions were horrid.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
Yeah, So let me go through. This is what the
drive summary looks like. Starting the third quarter, punt two yards,
punt minus twelve yards, three plays minus seventeen yards, one

(40:08):
play interception zero yards, five plays interception twenty six yards.

Speaker 4 (40:16):
That's it. That was the second half.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
Idios question for you, Ben, Yes, we all know how
devastating the punt situation was.

Speaker 4 (40:24):
Yes, did we did?

Speaker 1 (40:30):
Was that the key turn of events in the game.
Did we have a chance until that happened? In your opinion?

Speaker 4 (40:35):
I think so? Well?

Speaker 1 (40:36):
I felt the same way.

Speaker 4 (40:37):
I mean that was that was early in the third quarter.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
I mean that was right after the we get a
stop offensively, you know, we stopped their offense, they punt.
Why wouldn't we have a chance the way the way
that the first half played, it was kind of nearly
identical game plans, that we were both running the ball
with some success. Quarterbacks were making enough throws. I mean,
Jordan loved more so than our guy. But the game

(41:02):
was within reach. I mean, there were no reason why
you go into halftime thinking like, oh our dobber's down, Like,
oh man, we're gonna lose this game. Like no, you
come out in the second half ready to go, like,
oh my gosh, we're gonna pull this up. We're gonna
we're gonna beat Green Bay in Lambeau, like this is
gonna be great, and we have one mishap and then
it just cascades negativity for the rest of the game.

Speaker 6 (41:22):
So break it down for those of us who didn't
play football, give me the the Miles price blame versus
just a bad luck and a bad bounce, Like how
much of that was his fault?

Speaker 4 (41:32):
And how much of that is just bad luck?

Speaker 2 (41:35):
A lot of it's just bad luck. I mean, it's
not a bad The thing is like, it's not a
bad His thought process I think was somewhat correct. Now
he just has to understand the spatial awareness of where
he's at. If you're gonna call for a fair catch
and then do that whole like bluff and then let
you know the ball is going to bounce behind you.

(41:56):
First of all, you have to give yourself more space
to do that. You can't be four yards away from
the ball and then try to pick up that most
dangerous man block. That's not the that's not a terrible technique.
I mean, if you see a guy screaming down, if
he beats the gunner and you know you're gonna let
the ball bounce inside the ten yard line, we don't
want that guy to down it close to the goal line.

(42:18):
So the idea is and you are taught to like
hit that guy, disrupt him. So if the ball does bounce,
hopefully it takes a friendly bounce, goes in the end zone.

Speaker 4 (42:26):
You just can't do with that close.

Speaker 2 (42:28):
You can't take you know, three steps away from the
ball's gonna bounce and then engage the guy and then
and then get beasted and pushed into the ball.

Speaker 4 (42:36):
That's the other thing.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
Like I mean, if you're gonna hit the guy, hit
the damn guy, right, I mean, play with some physicality.
So I don't I don't think that his thought process
was wrong as far as trying to disrupt that guy.

Speaker 4 (42:47):
He just didn't execute the way he're supposed to. Is
he on the brink of losing his job?

Speaker 6 (42:52):
Because here's why, you know, like PGA always says, the
ball is the program, right. Yeah. A couple of weeks
ago we had two fumbles. Luckily I think that they
got one of them back. But now this is what
three fumbles for him in the last is it three weeks?

Speaker 4 (43:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (43:05):
Yeah, I mean we all know he's electric and kind
of dynamic when he gets his hands on it. He's
been kind of solid. He's been better than solid, but
can't bumble punts and kick retounts and stuff like. That's
kind of the main job is hold onto the ball.

Speaker 4 (43:19):
Yeah, so what do we do with him? I don't know,
you know, because it's like you do.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
We start looking at these things and I think KOs
even said is like the margin for air for this
team is razor thin, which sucks because you don't want
to tell these guys you have to play perfect. You
want guys to go out there and play with reckless,
abandon and even your returner. You're like, you have speed,
you have talent, you have innate instincts, use them, don't

(43:47):
think about don't overthink it. Like, I can't make mistakes.
That's when you make mistakes. So I would say, I
don't think that you're gonna you're gonna send the right message.
If you bench a guy like that, he does give
you some field position, he does give you a little juice.
He is still young. Hopefully he keeps learning from his mistakes.

(44:07):
But again, this is a season where you try to develop.
At this point in the season, you're trying to develop
a lot of guys. You're not just trying to develop
just your quarterback. You're trying to see what you have
in a lot of young guys. So I say you
continue to play him unless he just continues to make
catastrophic mistakes, then you might just be like, Okay, if
everybody else is doing their jobs and you're the guy
not doing your job, then we got to take you

(44:28):
off the field. So I say you give him, you know,
another chance, another couple of chances. But he's definitely on
thin ice, that's for sure.

Speaker 4 (44:38):
Man.

Speaker 7 (44:38):
I'd love to ask you about JJ McCarthy here and
now I heard your doggy style theory.

Speaker 4 (44:43):
Sure really here?

Speaker 2 (44:44):
Yeah, yeah, maybe terrible analogy, but that's you know whatever.

Speaker 7 (44:49):
But here's the thing is that I agree in that
same kind of k nine vein there is that I
think he has to start in Seattle, But I think
that has to be very very short. If he's not
making passes, if he's throwing these errant passes, he's throwing
a pick. Let's bring in Max. And what's terrifying me

(45:11):
right now because I'm a huge JJ McCarthy fan, has
leg all of us in this room, we're all talking
about how much we really want him to be the guy.
But the thing is is that you got your quarterback whisperer.
Look at all the things that Koc has done. Darnald Cousins,
turned his career und Dobbs. Yeah, yeah, he found a

(45:35):
way to get to these guys, to get the most
out of them, and he can't get it from JJ.

Speaker 4 (45:43):
I mean, so maybe it's not.

Speaker 2 (45:45):
Koc may aj the ain't it. I mean, the thing is,
that's all of that's possible. I still think the sample
size is way too way too small to be like,
this is this is who he is, this is what
he is he's done. I still think you have to
give him opportunities to see if he's the guy. Now

(46:08):
it gets troublesome and It gets tricky because you do
have to think about the locker room. You do have
to think about the rest of the guys in the team.
You know, it's one thing. If the organization, the coaching
staff believes in a player, it can be any player.
This just happens to me, the most important player on
the team. If there's a disconnect between how the players

(46:30):
feel about him right and the way the coaches from
the organization feels about him, then you got.

Speaker 4 (46:36):
Some probs because you got to go out.

Speaker 2 (46:40):
There with a lot of confidence in faith and the
guys that you're playing next to, and if the guys
on the offense, the guys that are actually playing blocking
for him, trying to catch balls for him, run the
ball for him, if they start to lose faith and
they feel like that check's.

Speaker 4 (46:55):
Been written and it's like nope, yeah, they're doing their jobs.
They're doing their jobs. And then it's like, you know,
I don't. It doesn't matter what a coach says. You know,
you can't. You can't tell these guys to be robotic mentally.
You can't program messages in their head and be like yes, Sarah,
we believe you. No, like they they see and feel

(47:18):
the same things that all of us see and feel.
So if they go through the course of practice and
all these all these preparation weeks and and they're losing faith,
then you got a problem. But if they but if
they still feel like especially the leaders on the team
of Aaron Jones and Justin Jefferson and Ryan Kelly and

(47:38):
are In you know, some of our veterans in the
offense like Brian, and if they all feel like, no, guys, guys,
he's we still we got you, we got your back,
like we still believe, then then you ride with him.

Speaker 7 (47:50):
Thicker thin And it's so frustrating because you see like
that past a nineteen yard reception to Jets, beautiful pass
in the first half. Yeah, absolutely gorgeous, and you're like, Okay,
this kid can do it.

Speaker 4 (48:02):
But I think most of this is all between.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
Throwing to his left, yes, you know, Orlowski he threw
to his left.

Speaker 4 (48:09):
Neurological pathways. He's been working on that show since Tuesday.

Speaker 7 (48:14):
This is all in this kid's head because he does
I mean it probably when he was in college, in
high school and everything that he was just a better
athlete than most, you know what I mean, overcome that
now he's playing in the NFL and everybody is good.

Speaker 2 (48:28):
I know, I know it's it's hard, and I'm not
trying to defend I'm not trying to defend him at all,
like for his his performances the last couple of weeks.
But you can't tell me that you don't you don't
win a national championship at Michigan and say that you're
you don't know how to play the quarterback position. Right,
he knows how to play. It's a somehow, some way.
We have to find a way to get him to

(48:50):
play more free more like stop thinking about all these
little tiny minute mechanical issues and all the like.

Speaker 4 (49:00):
Just just man your dog like normal people.

Speaker 2 (49:03):
You know, if you've got to break, if you've got
to break the pocket prematurely just to just to free
your mind and get your body out of this out
of this rut of being mechanical the whole time, then
do it.

Speaker 4 (49:17):
Just find ways to make plays.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
I don't care if you've got to use your legs
and scramble for a little bit, like just move the chains,
find some rhythm. But we say the same crap every
week that he's been playing, and it's just not working out.

Speaker 4 (49:29):
It's not inlike DT. We're in college. He was just
a better athlete than most Carol.

Speaker 11 (49:34):
Thompson, no Thomas No, yeah, a better athlete than most
on the field, double tots.

Speaker 7 (49:46):
You know it's taking a little longer for him.

Speaker 6 (49:51):
We'll go around the NFL during Fan five a second.
We'll see what else Ben thinks about football. This is
Morning Joe on
