Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, Kevin dot com slash watch.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Good morning everybody.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
It is a Vikings victory Monday on your Minnesota Vikings
morning show. The Vikings win, The Vikings win, just an
incredibly fun game. We have hope, we have a quarterback.
We have Ben liber in studio. Hi, Ben, Hey Bud,
We're about to do.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
The Christmas speak.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
I'm excited for this man.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
But real quick, how much did your your outlook on
the rest of the season change?

Speaker 4 (00:37):
Yeah, I mean, in all honesty, it complete one eighty.
And we talked about that as far as, like, you
know what a quarterback can do for you, and I
know that you guys already mentioned this, but like his
stats aren't gaudy, but Corey and I were in agreeance
all week long that as long as it looks good,
as long as it looks competent, and it looks like

(00:59):
he's taking steps forward, like that's that's hopeful, and that's
a positive. And even if we had lost this game
and he played well, it's like, man, but we got
something in our quarterback. And I think you know we
we checked multiple boxes yesterday. I mean, you guys, can
you guys believe it? We ran the ball more than
we passed the ball yesterday. I mean, I don't even
know the last time that happened.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
And who was it.

Speaker 5 (01:19):
I think it was Brian O'Neil with you in the
locker room afterwards that basically said, look, we got to
give the kids some time. It's his third game, and
he mentioned how how you know, maybe not bad, but
like how little he knew in his third game, and
how about having five weeks off and seeing a significant
jump right, Like, the one thing that was concerning was
KOs He kept saying things during that time that JJ

(01:40):
was gone, that not only do they want to see
all the throws, that like the footwork needs to be there,
and it's felt like a real subtle shot that man,
JJ just doesn't have the basics down right, That's what
it felt like. But yesterday that didn't look to be
the case at all. He looked way more confident than
those first two games where it looked like he had
happy feet and panicking. And some of that has to

(02:01):
do with the offensive line that you had, dar Asawn O'Neil.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
That helps, and again shout out to the training staff.
He was obviously ready to go back. When he was
ready to go back, yeah, you know that he had
no problems with that ankle yesterday.

Speaker 4 (02:13):
No, didn't see him get seemingly I mean, I mean
maybe he was still playing through a little bit of pain,
but we did not see anything.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
The kid helps he can run, so he can dip, dodge, duck.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
All, you know, all of it. I thought his I
thought his pocket presence was great. Again, everything in you
know Hawk and I you know, I always forget, like
what makes the air and what doesn't make the air.
But like we were so impressed sometimes just the right
decision making that he had at the right moments, you know,
whether it's to throw the ball out of bounds, where
it's to break the pocket when whether it was to

(02:46):
not cross the line of scrimmage and try to throw
the ball down the field. Like it just seemed like
he was so much more in control of every single
moment and understanding and being present of every single game moment.
I thought that that was showed a level of maturity
that maybe we didn't see in games one and two,
and there's you know games one and two.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Understandably there was it seems like now when you.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
Look back at it, a little bit a little bit
of hyperactivity, like his brain. His body was just moving
too fast, and it's completely understandable to be in that
environment to let your adrenaline take over. And it's like yesterday,
he just played with a calm but urgent demeanor and
it was just a way different feel.

Speaker 5 (03:28):
So you're saying the two and a half hour pregame meditation.

Speaker 4 (03:31):
Works, well, I mean he's been doing that for a
long time, So calm, yes, and think about Aul, you
get it?

Speaker 3 (03:37):
You meditate? I should? I should? I try the new you.
It's me the thing you gotta say, Oh, I don't
know that.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
The whole time Ben is finishing up his points on
the bikes, keep going meditated.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
I don't think I can hold my arms up. Then, God,
that's true.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
You mentioned, you mentioned like and everybody's mentioned it. It was
isn't perfect, It wasn't. It wasn't at all. But think
about if the interception that he threw was on target.
Think about early in the game when he had Justin
Jefferson over the middle, if that was on target and
Justin didn't have to go down to the ground and
then try to pop up and pick up extra yards like.

Speaker 5 (04:16):
Or if he had led Addison even on that long
completion because he obviously Addison had to come back for
the ball a little bit.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
If you lead that one, that's a touchdown.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
Yeah, I mean there there were so many like little
tiny minutia things of like, sure the passes that he
threw yesterday, if they're just a little bit more accurate,
which they will be, And that's again it all comes
down to just timing and footwork and him getting used
to game speed. Dude, he would have had two hundred
and fifty yards passing yesterday and it would been even

(04:45):
a much different field, better field than we have. No,
I think you fell asleep. Oh I'm awake up. I
think I think the gony thing.

Speaker 6 (04:51):
Bend to your point quickly before we get to the
Christmas speeches, Koc he did against that game, the game
that they played last year for the number one seat.
KOC had a great game plan. Sam Donald just couldn't
execute it. He had a great game plan yesterday. J. J.
McCarthy could execute it. Yeah I know, Okay, thank you.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
We'll get more vikings in phone and mister Mussman just
walked in. But as you guys might have noticed there,
if you're watching Cafe dot com slash Watch, Zacho was
scrambling right now because we had a technical difficulty and
the machines went down right as we were about to
start the Christmas speech. But he's got it back up
and going, that's a little close to me right now,
so I apologize, but it's on his phone.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Are you guys ready for this?

Speaker 3 (05:32):
Good morning moss?

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Hi Mustlin? Are you ready for the Christmas speech?

Speaker 7 (05:36):
I honestly, I was like, oh, I gotta get in.
I got I gotta hear this.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Good thank you. You're not You're not grinchy over there?
Oh hell no, okay, good, I know you do.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
I just want to make sure you want grunchy.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
You're gonna make me cry, and I know it.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
I'm gonna do my best not to cry myself this time.
Are you ready?

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Here we are.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Christmas Speech twenty twenty five. Here we are again. Halloween
is behind us, Thanksgivings just up ahead.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
And then of course the big one, the holiday of holidays, Christmas.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Friends. I've seen it all. My son is thirty one,
but I remember when he.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Was one, like little Louis that's ten minutes ago. My
daughter Abadaba twenty three, but I remember when she was eleven,
like Little Harbor. All those stages, all those ages, all

(06:56):
those moments, well, they're just memories now, and I am grateful.
I mean, really truly grateful. If you're wondering, There's never
been a single moment that I wished I hadn't spent

(07:18):
money on that giant Christmas dinosaur that was in my
front yard. Never been a single moment I regretted listening
to nad King Cole in early November. All those moments
some of the best memories of my life, and I

(07:42):
do I cling to them now that my little bitty
ones are adults. I began doing this speech and an
effort to convince folks that it was good to put
up your decorations early. That jingle over the store speakers
in November was not an abomination. But over the years

(08:06):
the Christmas speech has come to represent more than that,
at least for me. It's become a plea for magic
and togetherness. And it's my aim this year to leave you,
lovely listener, with a renewed sense of purpose. I know

(08:28):
that that's weird, but it's right. Purpose, What purpose, what challenge?
What directive? Well to give your children and all children
what I hope.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
You had.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
The chance to be a child, the opportunity to believe
in magic. I've asked for that before, but this year
it's even a little different. Things are exceptionally hard right
now for all of us. Uncert uncertainty of bounds, division

(09:13):
continues to multiply. Chances are how you woke up this
morning facing challenges that might seem insurmountable.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Those are adult things. I hate that you.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
Have to carry those, even if we've never met, or
if we have met and you've found me challenging.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
I hate it for you, I really do. But those
are adult.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Things, and you are an adult, and I believe you
can find your way because you've learned sometimes the hard way.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
To navigate those tough situations.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Perhaps you were taught, perhaps you were shown, or perhaps
you were knocked down and you had to find your
own way out. And let's think about that for a moment,
and let me ask you, how do you want your
children to learn? How do you want all of our

(10:17):
children to learn by being shown by seeing kindness and
love in action, by watching and sharing and acts of love,
and then emulating, showing personal strength, showing empathy for others

(10:41):
but also for themselves. Because your children will fail, and
they will fall, and they'll have to learn to pick
themselves back up. And as hard as it is to believe,

(11:03):
and I know this, you won't always be there to help.
And that is where today comes in. That's where the

(11:25):
Christmas speech comes in right there, because you won't always.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Be there to help, even if you want to be.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
This is the time of year when children, again all children,
not just the ones in your house, can release the
pressing weight of their future and be little, be excited, play, pretend,
wonder about the unknown, but in a positive way. The

(12:09):
unknown like what's under the tree? What's it like in
the north pole? Does Sanna know that I did that
mean thing to that butt hoole in my science class?
And does he know I secretly feel horrible about it?

(12:31):
Those unknowns, not adult unknowns, childhood innocent educating unknowns, unknowns
that lead to learning, the type of learning the teachers
their minds and their hearts so they can move forward,

(12:56):
informed and prepared, prepared to.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
The kind of people you hope they grow up to be.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
The kind of people who want to do good because
they want to be good because it makes them feel good.
No one benefits from other people feeling badly, not really,
even the butt hoole in science class. We want our
children to do the right thing for the right reasons,
not just because sin is watching, but because there's a

(13:28):
human part of us that feels good watching others feel good.
And here's the truth, and I've read the studies. I
know this to be the truth. It's not hyperbole. We
are the loneliest society in the history of humankind. We

(13:49):
spend our time on our phones, on social media. We're disconnected.
We're divided, especially our children and danger of bounds and
they know it. It reaches out to them most of
the time without us even knowing about it. So let's

(14:11):
try to take that away from them this holiday season.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
How do we do that?

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Will you put up the tree tonight or, if not tonight,
as soon as possible. How will that help the current
human plague of disconnection?

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Well, it's pretty easy.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
You can't drive to the tree farm and buy a
tree on your phone. You can't put up that tree
in your living room on your phone. You can't decorate
your yard with a twenty foot tall motorcycle riding Santa
on your phone. You and your family can put down

(14:53):
those phones and you do those things together, giving your
children your full attention. In fact, you know what, use
that phone for what it's good for. Play Christmas music,
sing along and talk to your kids, not about the
hard things, about those holiday unknowns. What do you want

(15:18):
for Christmas? What do you think your grandma wants for Christmas?
What is your favorite teacher want for Christmas?

Speaker 2 (15:26):
What kid at school is going to get cold and.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
They're shocking if they don't change their ways. What do
you think the temperature at the North Pole is? What
do elves eat? What Christmas movie do you want to watch?
When we're done, connect with them and let them connect
with you, because you know what that teaches them. It

(15:53):
teaches them that they matter, that life in the real
world outside of their phones matters, and they will remember.
There'll be a time later in their life where they'll
fall and you won't be there to pick them up,

(16:15):
even if you want to be. How would they find
a way to do it themselves. Well, they may not
remember specifically Christmas twenty twenty five, but they will remember

(16:45):
that they matter because you taught them.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
You showed them.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
That's the lesson you can teach them simply by starting
your Christmas season as early as possible, because kids know
Christmas is not for adults.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
It's for them.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
You're taking the time to do all this for.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
Them because they matter, and that is love, and love
is a communicable disease. Show me a person who knows

(17:41):
they're loved, and I'll show you a person who knows
how to love and return. Yep, the world is divided.
I don't deny that things aren't great. I don't deny it.
But how do we go about fixing that? Maybe one
little person at a time, Maybe one child who has

(18:04):
shown that they matter can spread that feeling to everybody
in their sphere, even the butthole in their science class.
Maybe love can spread from one little smile to another. Now,
I'm not saying you and your child can change the
whole world by putting up your tree today or by

(18:25):
singing a Christmas song at the top of your lungs.
But then again, that's the thing about magic. Maybe you can.
And I know this for sure. You might not be
able to change the whole world tonight, but you can
change the whole world for your child, and what matters

(18:47):
more than that. So I ask you begin your Christmas
season today. Play the music by the tree, sing the songs,
watch the movies, say Merry Christmas to a stranger, do

(19:07):
it all and do it together, because it matters. They matter,
And lovely listener, you matter, and those ghettos won't always
be there to shake you awake with excitement on Christmas morning.

(19:37):
Here's the crazy thing. Someday their little ones are going
to be shaking them awake, and God willing, you're going
to have the joy of watching them teach their little
ones what you taught them, and that will at her.

(20:05):
So Merry Christmas, everybody, Happy Holidays. You mat her to me,
and I'm glad you're here.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
Welcome back, Patrick Morning Shows. Well there it is, Hey,
it's back.

Speaker 5 (20:46):
What happened?

Speaker 2 (20:48):
Wow? There you go?

Speaker 6 (20:50):
All right.

Speaker 5 (20:51):
I have a question. I have a question about the
Christmas speech. What the hell happened in science class?

Speaker 3 (20:58):
What that but whole? Do? Yeah? What do you do
to you? Man?

Speaker 2 (21:01):
It was just my callback.

Speaker 5 (21:02):
So was that a hypothetical situation or was it something
that actually happened to Alex.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
Or Abby like you know back in the day.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Just hypothetical?

Speaker 5 (21:08):
I was like, man, he is stuck on this butthole
from science class?

Speaker 3 (21:11):
Yeah, which is a weird sentence. This was a callback, okay,
got it. You know, I didn't know if it was
a specific shot or hypothetical.

Speaker 7 (21:18):
No, just right in the squares. And it started with butthole,
and then you threw all three.

Speaker 3 (21:22):
Of them, which but yeah, butthole. Yeah, there's no question.

Speaker 7 (21:27):
And then uh yeah, with both of my kids now
out of the house, oh.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
Man, And how old are they? Twelve and eight? Yes?

Speaker 7 (21:34):
Wow, you've got to start them early, you know, go
figure it out.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
Uh yeah, I know.

Speaker 7 (21:40):
They're twenty three and twenty one. And it's just like
you said. You all I do is think about them
all the time as far as like, God, I hope
they're doing okay, I hope they're not running into trouble.
But you're just not there and it's just so hard. God,
you had me crying.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
Yeah, and got to rely on it, you know.

Speaker 3 (21:59):
Yeah. Yeah, good job Hawk. Thanks, I know I know
how much you put into that. That's good stuff. Three buttholes.
Good for you. Yeah, and you worked in three buttholes
I did. I did Tuesday for Zach. Wow. Congratulations to Thatch.
It's a butthole.

Speaker 6 (22:16):
Christmas turns this show around.

Speaker 8 (22:20):
Less.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
Bless everyone. The butthole Christmas.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
I was trying to hide my tears on the plane
last night as I was reading through it for the
third time, so hopefully, hopefully didn't see me over there winding.
But poor Jared had to sit beside me. I'm sure
he was about to call the authorities a couple of times.

Speaker 3 (22:42):
And my guess is he was pretty good in science class.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
You better believe it was.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
Oh yeah, oh he science.

Speaker 5 (22:48):
You know, he must have understood at least electric current,
that's right, right, maybe some frequency conversation oms? Sure, yeah, right, sure,
sauce the periodic table. Sure, which has elements such as lead? Sure,
because that's pebe peanut butter?

Speaker 3 (23:07):
Oh my, yeah, it's true. Would remember that one? Oxygen?

Speaker 8 (23:10):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (23:11):
Hydrogen? H you los h thanks? Really, that's right, you're
nailing it. Thank you.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Gratulation.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
Name three of them. He's on his way, you got it? Yeah? Yeah, three,
that's all I need. I know. It's a new you.
Nice job.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
It's time for a fan five on the Power Trip,
presented by All around your Timber Tech deck building contractor.

Speaker 6 (23:37):
Here's some NFL scores. Just give me your thoughts. The
Bears forty seven the Bengals forty two. They scored thirty
one points in the fourth quarter. Your Bears are five
and three, the Bengals are three and six.

Speaker 3 (23:49):
The gravity was overrated. I didn't quite understand why everybody
liked it so much. I've never seen it.

Speaker 5 (23:55):
It's good, everybody loved Itole Bengals.

Speaker 6 (23:59):
Man, come on, Panthers sixteen the Packers thirteen.

Speaker 5 (24:06):
Biggest upset in the NFL this year, thirteen and a
half points, and ESPN said biggest since twenty twenty three,
thirteen and a half points.

Speaker 6 (24:14):
Take a couple of years had you can't lose to
that team, and maybe the worst news of all Tucker
Craft going down.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
Yeah that sucks. Yeah, that sucks man.

Speaker 4 (24:24):
I mean what a good player that guy is and
how important he is for that offense.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
I mean, that's going to be a huge miss for
him for them.

Speaker 7 (24:31):
And it was the worst in the post game because
Tennabe actually texted me that that call, and I was like, normally,
when I'm in a segment, I'm not going to look
at my phone. But when it flashes and it's Tennabee,
I'm like, oh, so I read the thing. I get
buy halfway through I see Tenna and Abbot just flailing

(24:51):
their arms in the other studio. I hear a huge
thump down because they're so mad. And then that's when
I realized when I was reading it Cole that it
was from the Carolina Panthers radio network.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
Oh, that was going to be the next segment open.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
Oh, I read the.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
Whole where'd it go?

Speaker 5 (25:12):
Yeah? Yeah, I don't have the stack completely correct because
it flashed up on ESPN and only caught the last
second of it. But essentially, they scored thirteen points the Packers, right, yeah,
they didn't punt, and ESPN said something like it was
the fewest points scored in a game without punting since
like the seventies. I think they went forward on fourth

(25:32):
down about every time too. Thirteen points, didn't punt once. Yeah,
that's crazy. Yeah, that is crazy. So the Packers are
five to and one the Panthers. Look at the Panthers, right,
five and four and four, and Bryce Young was eleven
to twenty for one hundred and two yards and one interception.
But that was enough.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
Frea go Dwaddle, He's outstanding.

Speaker 5 (25:55):
Donal here's the here's which one is it?

Speaker 3 (26:01):
It's dow Dole. But what was the way you said
it the first one, because that was what old Dwaddle.
But he carry out of all one hundred and thirty
times for two tds battle d Wattle d Wattle.

Speaker 6 (26:12):
And then he got the reason though, that the game
was closer than it should have been, is he got
an unsportsman like conduct penalty for between the Rico Dwaddle.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
Would you the key and peel thing in the ends.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
On every score?

Speaker 6 (26:27):
God, so they moved the extra point back should have
been fourteen three, and they might have just won that
way anyway.

Speaker 5 (26:33):
So you don't give credit to Bryce Young. You think
the main reason the Panthers won is Rico.

Speaker 6 (26:40):
Dowdle Wow Chargers twenty seven Titans twenty.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
Maxo, he's not back your buddy, No, I can't.

Speaker 5 (26:48):
I should skate dude derailing now d Wattle screw Patriots
twenty four Falcons twenty three.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
The Patriots are seven and two.

Speaker 6 (26:58):
Uh that Parker Romo guy that they had missed the
extra point or the did yep? The forty nine Ers
continue to roll even with the most injured team on
the planet. They're six and three after beating the Giants
thirty four to twenty. Somebody else got hurt yesterday too, Right?
Who got first? The is it Maleak Williams the first?

(27:18):
The guy they took Mike Couch or something like that. Yeah,
it's got he's got a weird name.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
I think he's out for the year. I think he
tore his aco the Steelers.

Speaker 5 (27:26):
Can we go back to the Patriots for a second.
They did beat the Bills, right, so we can't shake
that off.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
It's the Bills.

Speaker 5 (27:32):
But how do you feel ben about the the The
theory on the Patriots is that they still haven't beaten anybody,
because if you take the Bills game out, here's the
rest of their wins. Okay, Miami Carolina, Saints, Titans, Brown's
Falcons true.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
Although a definition of a fourth place schedule. Yeah, they're
winning against.

Speaker 4 (27:54):
To And what did we say before they played this
last game about Atlanta's defense, like even even maybe it's
just a protection thing for us because we got kind
of hammered by them.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
We were surprised by their defense.

Speaker 4 (28:06):
A lot of people are like, this defense is way
better than you think, so our loss to them doesn't
look quite as bad. But if so, if you take
that approach and then you apply that to like what
New England did. It's like, well, that's a pretty quality win.
So the others I would say, yes, it's a pretty
soft schedule. I think the Atlanta wins a pretty quality win.

(28:28):
And obviously the Bills win is great.

Speaker 5 (28:30):
Drake May seventeen touchdowns just four interceptions, He's good.

Speaker 6 (28:34):
Man Steelers twenty seven, Colts twenty. The Steelers are five
and three, the Colts are seven and two. Wow, Broncos eighteen,
Texans fifteen.

Speaker 5 (28:47):
Oh the way, I just saw Daniel Jones's stat line
for the first time two seconds ago. Thirty one of
fifty he threw it fifty times, three interceptions. Fifty man
three forty two for Daniel Jones, but three interceptions.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
Yikes. Yeah, they had what six turnovers? Is that right?
I think they played they played the Steelers right? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (29:08):
Also yeah, because they lost three fumbles. Yeah, they had four.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
But lost three plus the three picks, so six.

Speaker 6 (29:14):
Jacksonville thirty, the Raiders twenty nine. Sixty yeah yarder And
did you see he just tweeted that they sent their
drug testing him this morning.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
No, no, come yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
Yeah, yeah yeah I saw that.

Speaker 5 (29:30):
Yeah. Sixty eight yarder is the all time record. The
previous record was sixty six, held by Justin Tucker in
twenty twenty one. But this exact same kicker, Cam Little,
if you'll remember, hit a seventy yarder this preseason against Pittsburgh.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
Try this one on for size, Benjamin.

Speaker 8 (29:45):
Yeah, this season, we already have the NFL record for
most sixty yard field goals in a season, Cam Littles,
I actually, actually.

Speaker 3 (29:58):
I won't even tip in my hand. I shouldn't eve
even say this part.

Speaker 5 (30:01):
How many was the previous record set in twenty twenty
two and in twenty twenty.

Speaker 3 (30:05):
Three of sixty yarders in a season for the entire season,
for the entire league? How many in a season? Three?

Speaker 7 (30:13):
Well, they manipulate the balls now, Oh yeah, I.

Speaker 5 (30:17):
Would say ten, ten sauce, twelve, twelve, Chris zach got
I guess sixty yard is in a season? Before this
year four you guys all danced around it. Nobody got it.
Five was the all time record. But yesterday Cam Little
made the sixty eight yard that was already the seventh
this year.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
To go from sixty plus and more? What halfway through
the year.

Speaker 4 (30:40):
Yeah, well, let me let me just give a quick
clarification of what must is saying it's it is.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
It is ball manipulation.

Speaker 4 (30:49):
It is uh huh, it is, but but maybe not
in the way that you that people are thinking. So
this year they're allowing the kickers to bring their k balls,
which are the footballs they use during the week that
are specifically tailored to what they like versus what the
offense likes and the quarterback likes.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
They get tuham the way. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (31:12):
So so before this year they had to kick with
whatever game ball that the offense was using. Now this
year they're saying, like, well, listen, if the quarterbacks get
a chance to, like, you know, have a set of
their footballs that they like, that they precondition that they
that they oil up and they rub down, and they
have the whatever inflation that they want.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Speaking for my client, Zac, could you talk slower please.

Speaker 4 (31:34):
If they get to use that, then why can't we
kick with the footballs that we kick and practice with,
which is our which are different, which you know, it's
to their specifications. Most likely all of them are more inflated,
so there are harder footballs to kick, which means they
fly a little bit further around because yeah, and they
press them down and they oil them a certain way
and condition them a certain way. So yes, it's uh,

(31:58):
that is that is the major fact, that's the big
difference why this year is different.

Speaker 3 (32:02):
I know what I'm doing this afternoon. I bet you. Yeah,
sure you're going to change your plans. Yeah, you work
for the bikes and just rub down balls.

Speaker 5 (32:10):
So to go full circle on the sports weekend in
Game seven World Series, absolutely freaking unbelievable, right awesome, so
much fun and I.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
Mean just just nuts.

Speaker 5 (32:20):
And then of course my dad likes to scuttle butt
on the twins and I'm like, I don't know what
the scuttle b is. But we talked baseball the other
day and we were saying the same thing that I
think people have said from the beginning of baseball. I
can't believe way back in the day when they were
deciding the dimensions of a baseball diamond, that they somehow
perfectly guessed like the maximum speed that a human can

(32:42):
throw a baseball, and they perfectly measured out the mound
to almost exactly the maximum speed a man can swing
a baseball bat, and it somehow is like even right
from that exact distance, and then like the exact distance
to first times it out perfectly.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
It's like every I don't know, like just they somehow.

Speaker 5 (33:01):
Got lucky way back in the day and just picked
the right distances from.

Speaker 3 (33:05):
The pitching mound in to first base. Blah blah blah
blah blah.

Speaker 5 (33:08):
Maximum speed you can throw at maximum speed you can
swing a bat. Are we almost at the point with
NFL kickers where we just can't kick it much further
than this? Like, because you said when we were watching
the replay that was gonna be good from seventy eight
to seventy two?

Speaker 3 (33:23):
Maybe? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (33:25):
Is that about as far as the human leg can
kick a football without changing dynamics of the actual football?

Speaker 3 (33:33):
What's the absolute max we can get to? I feel
like yes, but under the right conditions.

Speaker 4 (33:41):
With win behind you and wins behind I would say
seventy four to five is the mass?

Speaker 3 (33:49):
Is like damn.

Speaker 4 (33:51):
Seventy but man that yeah, well you could say seventy
but Cam Litt already hit a seventy yarder in preseason
and good from a couple more. Yeah, yep, so.

Speaker 3 (34:00):
And he's getting drug testing about.

Speaker 4 (34:02):
That, I know, which is so ridiculous. They say it's
unquote quote random and whatever. Yea, but we know, we
know it's not whatever we know, it's not. All I
know is that the bar Well taught him everything he knows.

Speaker 3 (34:14):
That's right. I know. I know. I talked.

Speaker 4 (34:17):
I talked to Heath after he hit the seventy yard
er and we talked about him and he's like, oh, yeah,
we knew, we knew he's got the leg.

Speaker 3 (34:24):
He did say nice things about our kicker too.

Speaker 4 (34:26):
Oh he's got through. Yeah, because he scouted all of them.
He's like, he's a good dude. He's like, he's he's like,
it was a tough choice to get him down. He's like,
I had three guys and your guy was in that
mix and Cam was in that mix, but you know,
decided to go with Cam.

Speaker 3 (34:41):
It's worked out for both.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (34:43):
By the way, the Seahawks won thirty eight fourteen, dude,
darn darnold, and he was one of twenty four for
four touchdowns.

Speaker 4 (34:52):
And I think that well, he'd beat Tom Brady's record.
I think he had the for a while. He had
the like the perfect perfect going.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (35:03):
Yeah, And I would bet if you go back and
watch that Tom Brady game, the the distance of the
ball in the air is completely different.

Speaker 3 (35:13):
Yeah, Dude, Sam Donald was.

Speaker 4 (35:14):
He was throwing dimes down the fields and had that
perfect completion.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Incredible.

Speaker 5 (35:19):
Man, it was sick after yesterday's games. Josh Allen takes
over your MVP front runner. He's the leader. Mahomes was
the favorite before yesterday, but Mahomes didn't have a great game.

Speaker 3 (35:29):
He's second.

Speaker 5 (35:30):
Drake may Is third for MVP voting. Crazy Legs Drake yep, yeah.
Matt Stafford fourth, he was he bawled out, yes, Drake
Baker Mayfield fifth, Sam Donald sixth.

Speaker 3 (35:44):
I think Sam should be higher. He's too low. They're undefeated.
He he's with the Lord. Crazy Legs Drake no, no
different one.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
The singer.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
Yeah, she makes great music, right Eggs.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
We can talk about more Viking stuff when we come
back in Vikings news and talk about man all those
injuries for Detroit history. You know, we beat them and
they're hurting them. I mean both guards. I haven't read
anything this seam, but I think one guard did come back.
Oh okay, good, yeah didn't.

Speaker 7 (36:18):
At one point it looked like they were going to
run out of offensive linemen.

Speaker 4 (36:21):
Well that was yeah, when both guards were down there
for a second, they only had Dan Skipper as it.
But he's he's not a guard. Dan Skipper is a tackle.
They probably have to force him to play guard or
kick one of the other. I don't put Pennay as
a guard and put Dan Skipper as the right tackle.

Speaker 3 (36:35):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (36:36):
I mean, not our problem, but it would have been
interesting to figure that out.

Speaker 1 (36:39):
I also want to talk to you a little bit
about what we did so differently on defense history, what happened,
and why did.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
We come alive? Sure?

Speaker 2 (36:45):
Sure, sure, okay, good good, Hey, welcome back, Pout your
morning show.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
The speeches and the books, and the amount of relief
I feel. I can't even tell you I believe it'll
be up. If it's not, it'd be up soon on
the old podcast pages and all that jazz.

Speaker 5 (37:06):
It's like every speech from middle school or high school.
Do you remember when you would go sit back in
your desk when you were done with your presentation in
all those weeks of worrying. It didn't even matter if
you did well or not. It's just the fact that
you were back in your desk and some other schlub
had to go do it next.

Speaker 3 (37:22):
And you're like, it's over.

Speaker 5 (37:23):
Yep, it's over. I don't even care if I get
an f. It's just I don't ever have to do
that again.

Speaker 3 (37:27):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
You were sitting there like, who's next, and the teacher
said crazy legs Drake.

Speaker 5 (37:33):
I thought that was extremely inappropriate because he was born
with that problem.

Speaker 3 (37:43):
But the nineties, it was a different time. You could
say things like that. Why would she say that in
speech class? Dude?

Speaker 5 (37:52):
It's crazy that again, everybody here technically is a public
speaker on a daily basis. And how much I hated
speech class because it was just terrifying. Didn't want to
do it, Yep, didn't want to do it. No, I
don't remember the last time I was nervous talking at all.

Speaker 3 (38:06):
Small No, we're judgy eyes. Yeah, it was the worst.
It's the worst, right, Sauce, judgy eyes smaller you what?

Speaker 2 (38:12):
I gotta believe, Sauce.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
How many times, and you could be honest, did you
get up to do a speech with nothing prepared and
just pulled it off because you're good at talking every time?

Speaker 2 (38:22):
That's what I figured, Like you did no prep but
maybe a couple of.

Speaker 6 (38:25):
As I've told you my senior year of high school,
I didn't bring anything to school.

Speaker 3 (38:30):
Yeah, that's embarrassing.

Speaker 6 (38:31):
I just showed up, There was lunch, there were ladies,
and there were people that needed uh.

Speaker 3 (38:38):
To be entertained. I feel sorry for you. Hey, got
me here? Not even one tie zero number that man?
Oh is that a pencil? How do you last a
week not bringing books or a backpack? I'm charming people
like me. I don't know.

Speaker 6 (38:54):
I said get through tests. I didn't be not there
to do school. I was there to the ladies, make
people laugh.

Speaker 5 (39:03):
And I know there's no way to say this without
sounding mean, So I'm just gonna admit this sounds mean.

Speaker 3 (39:08):
That's fine everything.

Speaker 5 (39:09):
You have no business within a diploma, like you shouldn't
have one.

Speaker 6 (39:13):
No, but I got my diploma because I showed up
for summer sexon.

Speaker 3 (39:17):
But we know the story. Nobody Oh no, sorry, I'm
repeating my story. Nobody else was there, Like, so you
showed up and the teacher was like go home. Close enough.

Speaker 5 (39:25):
I'm just saying you shouldn't have a diplomat try Those
teachers just didn't.

Speaker 3 (39:29):
Want to go through that again.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
I want to because it wasn't only as pencils that
were number two.

Speaker 3 (39:37):
Yes, everything. I was just there to have fun.

Speaker 6 (39:41):
Good it worked, Yeah, Corey, what you.

Speaker 3 (39:48):
Want to say thank you, because maybe that's it.

Speaker 5 (39:54):
I tried so hard and my diploma is worth exactly
the same as yours.

Speaker 3 (39:59):
You know what I'm saying. Yeah, who's the who's the
stupid one? Now?

Speaker 6 (40:02):
Good?

Speaker 2 (40:02):
Good question?

Speaker 5 (40:03):

used it.

Speaker 5 (41:22):
Oh God, you know how much I would have paid
to watch you try to unlock? Ah, I was good
at that accommodation all the way back, all the way
forward past the number, then to the number, then back
to the left.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
Water nothing in your locker. You don't have to lock.

Speaker 3 (41:37):
Good point. What you put in there more crazy as we.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
And your stuff crazy likes Drake.

Speaker 3 (41:48):
You lock? Then he came out as great.

Speaker 4 (41:53):
You know they should make like locker size little refrigerators.

Speaker 3 (41:57):
I'm sure they do, like battery packed. That's a good point.
Did you have full a C and all of your
lockers at Minnetonka?

Speaker 6 (42:06):
No, but I needed ac walking around because I was huge.

Speaker 3 (42:10):
You were dwaddling.

Speaker 6 (42:11):
You were huge and hideous.

Speaker 2 (42:14):
Hold the dwaddle so you would just.

Speaker 3 (42:16):
Walk into class. You had homework do and yeah, you
didn't have it because you didn't bring it. No, you
didn't do it. Let alone bring it everybody.

Speaker 6 (42:24):
No, my uh, my senior, my senior year of high school.

Speaker 3 (42:30):
This is.

Speaker 6 (42:32):
How do I tell the story without sounding like an
absolute uh too late?

Speaker 3 (42:36):
Now?

Speaker 6 (42:38):
I was in the on the homecoming court. I was
told about it when I was in a freshman math class.
They walked in and they're like, hey, Paul, you made
it and it's me and thirty freshmen, and I'm like,
it was.

Speaker 3 (42:53):
Like you and the Muppet babies. This way you're on
the homecoming.

Speaker 6 (43:00):
I was freshman algebra A s okay.

Speaker 3 (43:06):
I was as I remember your speech. You were like, well,
I drew a blue duck because I've always wanted to
see a blue duck. Yeah, pretty much. Well it's an
excellent blue duck. Good for you, d those kids good.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
Confused about which one of you adults was a teacher?

Speaker 3 (43:23):
Don't want assignments to you. I didn't break anything into
the glass.

Speaker 5 (43:29):
Again, if you're a senior and you're in a freshman
math class, how do they give you a diploma class?

Speaker 3 (43:35):
Mister Lambert, I don't know. Do you have a full
beard when you were sor.

Speaker 1 (43:41):
How many times did Dadline NBC pull you aside?

Speaker 3 (43:46):
You don't seem to have the homework.

Speaker 6 (43:47):
You just have snacks to lure them.

Speaker 3 (43:51):
No, I was just there. I don't know.

Speaker 6 (43:54):
I found it more entertaining. I wasn't there to learn.
I didn't need to learn. You when am I going
to need to learn the periodic table? I don't use
that here.

Speaker 5 (44:03):
That's one example. I don't use it here. Never heard
of at Tilla of the Hunt until this morning.

Speaker 3 (44:09):
Nope, but no, that's what he said.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
He'd never You gotta be kidding, that's what he said.

Speaker 6 (44:14):
You think I just started not listening. Yes, of the museum,
the hell I haven't seen. I'm with you, by the way.

Speaker 3 (44:21):
Yeah, no, you never heard of the hun?

Speaker 5 (44:25):
Can tell you almost nothing about a Till of the Hunt.
You still should have said, like, I've heard that name
a thousand times. Even if you don't know anything that
person did, that's fine.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
I can't believe you haven't been called that I have.

Speaker 3 (44:39):
Yeah, I think that's me and I don't know, but
I think it's dler.

Speaker 7 (44:47):
A.

Speaker 4 (44:48):
Surprisingly when when Zacho was looking at at Tilla the Hunt,
the images of Attila the hont he's actually a pretty
slender dude.

Speaker 2 (44:54):
Oh yeah, big head, though.

Speaker 3 (44:59):
He was. He was mayor to learn. He was there
to conquer about sauce and now thousand years like.

Speaker 6 (45:07):
Uh, my senior year, it was the last practice before
our first game, and the coach walks up to me
and goes, I got bad news, Paul.

Speaker 3 (45:14):
I go, what is it?

Speaker 1 (45:15):
It was?

Speaker 6 (45:15):
You're ineligible. I go, oh boy. He goes, go talk
to the whoever.

Speaker 3 (45:20):
I don't remember. So I went and talked to the teachers. No,
it was like administration or whatever. He was also the
head basketball coach. I walk in.

Speaker 6 (45:29):
I go, uh, I'm ineligible to play on Friday. He
looks at me and he goes, no, you're not. I go,
I failed your class. He goes, no, you didn't. I
did not.

Speaker 3 (45:39):
I got to play on Friday. Oh yeah, they needed you,
which is because I was terrible. I wasn't good.

Speaker 6 (45:45):
But a couple other kids that weren't eligible, they didn't
get to play. I passed that class because he bumped
up my grade on the computer.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
I don't know. I got lucky. I've been lucky in life.

Speaker 5 (45:55):
How great would it have been if he said that
I will make you eligible for a Friday's game.

Speaker 3 (45:59):
If you can spell the word ineligible, If.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
You can spell the word elgib literally push it in
the chair and left the chair.

Speaker 3 (46:16):
You didn't push in the chair. Don't give them curtsy.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
Oh my god.

Speaker 5 (46:28):
Every member of the Minnetaka football team places their jersey
on the chair or on the desk of the coach,
basically saying, I'm not playing if you're not playing it
for Dwattle, coach, for Wattle doing well, you're something else.

Speaker 6 (46:42):
Man.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
That was Viking.

Speaker 3 (46:45):
I'm glad you guys took me in.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
I do want to talk about that defense so we
get back.

Speaker 3 (46:49):
Yeah, let's do.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
I want to talk about that all the day.

Speaker 3 (46:51):
They did not dwa they did not did not.

Speaker 1 (46:54):
And I have a theory about why it was so
good yesterday.

Speaker 3 (46:56):
I have a theory.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
We'll come back.

Speaker 8 (46:59):
You know.

Speaker 5 (46:59):
It's going to be now for the rest of us
to not call him Rico Dwaddle. I'm almost like, I
can't even remember what it's for central Rico Dwaddle, what
what I'm not here for reading and whatnot.

Speaker 3 (47:17):
I don't want the powers back of this on the
fan
