Say with the golf season, right, let's just let's just
say we're doing the PGA Sason. We don't do everyone though,
and we pay up at the end of the year.

a gambling problem.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
The way his mind works is beautiful.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Yeah, he's got a beautiful money. And you know what,
we all needed a good laugh this morning. And that's
that's why we're here. We know all the serious things
going on in the world. We're not ignoring it, but
we're trying to, I guess, do the impossible. And that's
an make you feel better on a terrible hard day
and unite the world, if at all, even just a
(14:24):
little bit. And Tommy unites us all with giant question marks.
No matter how divided we are, we can look at
each other and go, what did you just say? Love you, Thomas,
I love y'all.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I love everybody, Tuppy too, hark Yeah, I love it
all you guys.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Hey, what was it like in the newsroom yesterday?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Oh man, it was it was chaotic, but it was
you know.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
We should tell people who don't know, what do you
do during the day?
Speaker 10 (14:50):
I work at Fox nine, I'm I'm a television house
in the afternoons also a producer, producer, slash host. But
yesterday it's one of those days when, like we we
could just feel a buzz before the news actually broke.
We kind of saw some people jogging, you know, around
the newsroom and or like, what the what the heck
is going on? Then we started seeing the bosses show
(15:10):
up and everybody starts gathering, and it was just very
It was really cool, even though obviously it's an incredibly
tragic situation and infuriating situation and dystopian like situation, but
it was cool to be on the inside and kind
of get the trickle of information like, okay, we got
the broad overview of what happened, and then more details
are coming in slowly and you kind of see everybody
(15:32):
drop what they're doing and all become it's almost like
like Vultron, like everybody just forms into one giant robot,
and we form into one kind of conglomeration. Everybody, the
professionals that I work with, to be able to just
do that on a dime, and they broadcast from like
something like eleven until I had left and they were
still on the air, no commercial breaks. It is it
(15:54):
is absolutely incredible what that team is capable of in
those type of situations. And it was just really cool,
like to be on the inside and get to learn
from that, Like it was. It's it's it's hard to
to have to like engage with that, you know, like
it's it's easy to kind of turn the TV off,
but to have to engage with it in a meaningful yeah,
and critical way like that, and and find a way
(16:15):
to disseminate that information in a way that's helpful, Yeah,
in a way that's helpful to people, you know, like
because obviously you have feelings in your heart and in
your soul and in your stomach about that situation, but
you have to also like give people the information because
that's that's what they're there for.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
So it was it was chaotic.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
It is interesting to see people that that you work with,
that you know, that you have lunch with, or you
you goof around with, and then see them turn on
their business side, yeah, and do their job at a
high quality level.
Speaker 10 (16:45):
In an instant Yeah, And and it's really cool to
to be able to learn from that, uh from the
inside in.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
I been my Ben.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
You miss Tommy completely.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Well, we embrace in the hallway.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
You just made his day.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yeah, Oky, what happened?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
What happened with you guys on Twin City's Live yesterday?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
With the news breaking? You know, early afternoon? What'd you
guys do Twin City's Live? Didn't we we lucked out?
I mean everything, everything was done and wrapped up by
three o'clock. So all the press conferences.
Speaker 7 (17:13):
All the press conference think, I think walls like we
were literally sitting in our chairs ready to do our
live tease. He was finishing his last answer to the
last question. I think they said when we got our
IFB's on there, like, yeah, this is the somebody already
asked the last question he's answering right now. Sounds like
we're gonna just have a reaction back in studio and
(17:36):
then we're just going to go right to the show.
So yeah, we I think we we missed out on
about ninety seconds of programming.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Did you think most of the early afternoon that you
were going to get preempted and probably missed the entire show?
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Is that what it was tiling towards.
Speaker 7 (17:52):
So we had we had contingency plans for our for guests,
like what we're going to do, and it's kind of
the worst case in a four And you guys would
understand this that about an hour and a half before
we went live, there was the possibility that we weren't
going to have a show at all.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
So then your mind goes like, well, that'd be great
not to have a show. What am I gonna do
with the rest of my day?
Speaker 7 (18:17):
The thing is like, we would have to tape a
few things, we'd have to do a couple things, so
like it wouldn't have been like a complete day off.
But your mindset just goes into like, oh, well, I
don't have to be like in go mode right now.
But then they're like, it's kind of looking like we're
going to be on. So then you like get fully
ready and then you sit down and it's like you
just don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
So I don't know.
Speaker 7 (18:36):
I hate that situation. I'd which rather it's like you're
either on or you're off, you know. And then yeah,
we kind of got the green light shortly before.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
And the other variable that luckily didn't play out was
I think even after the press conference, no one was
quite sure if it was going to escalate, if something
was gonna happen, Yeah, in response to what had already happened.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
And yeah, well you know that happened at about i'll
just say four o'clock, so we had thirty minutes left
to the show. We were told in our ear like,
hold on, we might have breaking news, so like okay,
and then a few minutes later like nope, we're good.
So basically, in hindsight, it's like, well, what happened. I
(19:14):
think that's when they identified her. Oh yeah, so they
didn't know if they're going to break in with that,
But no, they didn't, So we just kept the show going.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Yeah, and that's what we're doing here today. So thanks
forunning the Power Trip and thanks for coming in.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
Ben.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
We know you were a touching go for a minute,
so we're glad you're here. So let's suck some storce
with you, shall we.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
It's time for a fan five on the Power Trip,
presented by All Around Your Timber Tech deck building contractor
mac So.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
Last night, the NBA had a trade. The Atlanta Hawks
traded four time NBA All Star Trey Young to the
Washington Wizards, where he wanted to go for CJ. McCullum
and something called Corey Kisper.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Yeah, I found that odd.
Speaker 10 (20:02):
But also there was kind of reports earlier in the
day that said he was interested in some other franchises,
including the Timberwolves, and according to those reports, the Timbrelves
were not interested back despite some earlier rumors kind of
I mean years long rumors, right, Sauce. I mean, we've
kind of been speculating about this Tree Young thing for
a long time. But and there was kind of conflicting reports,
but the final report that came out and said, yeah,
(20:22):
Timberwlves were not very interested in a Trey Young type deal,
and so he's like, well, I want to go to
the Wizards, and weirdly enough, I'd somehow got pulled into
Washington Wizards Twitter on my algorithm and they A lot
of people are thinking that the Wizards could be a
Detroit Pistons type team in a couple of years, because
I guess Trey Young's not the first person that's wanted
(20:43):
to go to the Wizards in recent memories, so they
might be building something. But obviously they're years away from
anything realistic.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
But yeah, fresh start for Trey Young. It's kind of weird.
Speaker 10 (20:52):
He's been a career long Atlanta Hawk. He kind of
you know, he's the face of that franchise. He's in
the modern day. He's who you think of when you
think of the Atlanta Hawks. So it's going to be
weird to see a Hawks team with outree Young. But
a fresh start from him, and they.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Got some They got some real shooters up.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
There in Washington. The Wolves are twenty four and thirteen.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
They host the Calves tonight at seven o'clock. You can
hear that on the Wolves channel on the iHeartRadio app.
Your Wolves are two and a half point favorites.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Let's go.
Speaker 10 (21:23):
Wolves have been They've been hot, man, they've been They've
been hot. They're trying to build a little some thumb here.
So the fifth in the Western Conference right now, and
I think, let me here, they're only like one game
behind the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I mean in two games, one or two games behind
the Nuggets. They're right there. They could be in the
in the top three.
Speaker 10 (21:38):
Man, that's exactly where we want them to be in
the Caves are They're not the same Calves as last year.
So this should be a this is a super winnable
game and they're super injured, so you.
Speaker 7 (21:45):
Don't know's surprised to see last night. So I got
a buddy of mine got tickets and he has a
partial season ticket situation to the Tommies, the basketball team.
So we were at the game last night and there's
Finchy sitting right there. I'm like, oh no, what a
night off. And you're at Thomas Thommy's basketball game.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Like, well, really like you know the game?
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Yeah, you don't want to like be home on a
night like grab a beer. Yeah. Guy loves ball. He
loves ball.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
He's a new stadium and they got the new place
is awesome, good things.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
Yeah, yeah, it's super sweet. So yeah, now I got
to check off a list of a hockey game. I'm
kind of like narrowing it down right now, trying to
figure out a time to go watch a hockey game
in there.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
But it looks awesome. But your buddy has partial season tickets.
Speaker 7 (22:28):
Yeah, I guess he shares tickets with some other friends.
I think he has eight maybe eight games this whole season.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Because we are convinced that Sauce's friend Smitty Yum's brother,
Phil de Agony has season tickets to the Crack and
it might be at the wild game tonight.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
In case you're wondering he might be there.
Speaker 8 (22:43):
It's been hard to focus on the show this morning.
Really good to know. Yeah, if you want to, he.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Watched chapter seventeen of the book, by the way, in
case you're looking for cliff notes.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeahsh I feel like we're way past seventeen.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
But you know, yeah, we we go backwards sometimes.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah, Cliffs, are you going to be up late enough
to tweet out if he's at the game, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
I doubt it starts at nine. Just tell us tomorrow morning.
Speaker 6 (23:03):
I'm sure he'll listen to the podcast and text me.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I'll send out a tweet.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
We can't wait. Yeah, Ben, have you have you uh
prepared yourself for college football tonight?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
I have not?
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Actually Fargo Flash said you took Ole miss I did?
Speaker 2 (23:23):
I did? Yeah? Wow.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
Typically I typically lean towards who's got the better defense
and these type of big time games. But here's the
I still am not sold on Carson Beck. And I
know that he has done some things and he has
seemingly turned his career around at Miami, but the way
that that offense is for ole Miss and just the storyline.
(23:50):
It's more of a hopeful bet that I'm just kind
of betting with my heart on this one that I
hope they just stick at to Lane Kiffen and they
just keep going.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
The game tomorrow is the Oregon Ducks battle number one
ranked Dinah. Wow, that's six thirty and the Chick fil
A Peach Bowl. The Hoosiers are three and a half
point favorites. Indiana beat them in Oregon earlier this season
thirty to twenty.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
I got a lot of faith in Mason West And yeah, sorry.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Dudy, I'll take the Hornets on that one. Yeah, I would. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (24:32):
The Wild Battle the Crack in the Night at nine,
it's the final game of their seven game road trip.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Preak's going to be there.
Speaker 6 (24:39):
Is that eight forty five right here on the fan?
I think filled the agony. I think he has season tickets.
Speaker 8 (24:45):
It's a little early, but I think it might be
worth calling him.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Do you have his number? I mean it's five thirty
five in Seattle. Oh, of course I have his number.
Speaker 8 (24:53):
Yeah, but I think you would understand the considering the
urgent nature, the importance of this call yeah, I'll text.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Are you going to the mall later? Cracking?
Speaker 3 (25:14):
We don't care season, We don't even care what if
he wakes up to that text.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I mean he's known me for thirty years. He hates
my guts.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Oh yeah, well yeah, your thoughts.
Speaker 8 (25:32):
Yeah, I just to keep us posted, to make sure
your ringers on, so we don't waste any moments of
wondering if phillyag and he is going to be there
or not. But he will see a good Phil and
he's brother, Phil die Andy's brother. I apologize, We're got there,
We got the air. Uh No, yeah, as you mentioned, Yeah,
wild closing on a long ass road trip. They have
(25:52):
not been in town for almost two weeks, so they
are excited to get home. Hopefully we'll go out with
a bang. Uh And Seattle's been very very good lately.
So it's another big test for a team that has
had a lot of tests on this road trip, and
perhaps none greater at this point than the very red
hot cracking.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
It happened again.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
By the way, I'm wrong, and nobody corrected me. Smitty,
yours brother Phil the eggity, Yeah, it's no, it's this
is Mandela effect. You guys just assume that I'm always
righting Sauce is always wrong.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
That's that is true percent of the time. True.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
But yeah, now when I'm wrong, nobody corrects me because
they just assume that Sauce must.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Have been wrong.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
That right, You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
We haven't talked to young and lovely Ben Lieber about
all the different changes in coaching round. Oh, I know
going on. I'm excited about the I mean, for sure,
the possibilities. Man, I mean, where's Harbaugh gonna go? Man,
I don't know. It ain't so bad to lose your
job when every other job's available.
Speaker 6 (26:52):
And he's gonna wait till next week to see if
any more jobs become available?
Speaker 7 (26:57):
Any more jobs, job job, Yeah, you're on fire.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
I wonder why people think I am right and you're
wrong all the time. I wonder why Zach your hands up?
Speaker 8 (27:11):
Apparently the Dina head coaching position just opened.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Are there any jobs? Jobs?
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Damn it?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Why don't you wait a week and see what's available.
Viking's News slash NFL News is next with Ben Leber
right here on the Power of Dream Morning Show on
the Fan.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
But that's a great point.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
It is, like, I mean, it's like a I made.
It really is specifically for Zach.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
It's like God felt bad something and did a did
a solid for you.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
I said when we first heard about that show, if
the two guys that are in heated rivalry go to
a shine down show, we know you're one of the showrunners, right,
that's how close it is.
Speaker 8 (28:06):
But I mean it's not even close. I mean it's
already there. That would just be that it's too much.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Yeah, yeah, plus and take away makeout times correct?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Or like what if what if after either a makeout
session or a hockey game unheated rivalry, what if the
two guys were just like this gatorade sucks, where's diet coke?
And they both just drink like a gallon and.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
Yours it's your nips.
Speaker 10 (28:35):
Okay, you don't know. By the way, it is not
a makeout session. If you've ever seen that show, it
is more than that.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Oh, billy billy.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Ladies and gentlemen, I please have your attention. I've just
been handed an urgent and horrifying news story, and I
need all of you to stop what you're doing and listen.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Now.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
In the past, with serious situations going on here or
across the country or across the globe.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
We've been accused as a power trip money show of.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Hitting that button when the following breaking news is not important,
and the following breaking news in this case will not
be important. We hit that button sometimes seriously, sometimes when
it's about sports, or in this case, when it's an
update on who's going to go to a kracking game?
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Okay, he texted me back, philed the agony filled it.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
I thought it was his brother.
Speaker 8 (29:30):
No, that was wrong last segment. Hold on, hit the
drum roll. I mean, this is this is a.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Big and here with the phill, the agony, wild cracking
and attendance update is the fans markets sauce.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
It's not about you. He is going okay.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Thank god?
Speaker 2 (29:53):
All right?
Speaker 3 (29:54):
And the game again once again, is just so clear
that is not a home game for us.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Seattle.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Yeah, he live but pill the Agony no longer works
for Amazon. He works for quote another company I think
a company out of Boston. But he lives in Seattle. Yeah,
but I think he works online. Sure, well obviously not
in personal so that's Boston.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Yeah. The only fans, I mean, maybe it's not a
bad gig. Not he texted me, Oh great, thank you
for the please. So he's up right now if Boston he's.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Watching that hockey show.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Wonder if he's up right now, and he just tuned in,
Like why are they talking about whether or not I'm
going to the wild game?
Speaker 6 (30:36):
He said, My wife loves Heated Rivalry. She's making me
watch it again because she cried three times in the
first three episodes.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Wow, week crying. Okay, Yeah, I'm like, I cried at
the last.
Speaker 8 (30:56):
Well okay, the third episode, yeah I cried, and the
sixth episode, I cried. Come on over, buddy, I did
that in the first two and.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Really all those other episodes the Power Trip presented.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
All right, I'm gonna start with the generic Vikings question
I already probably know the answer to, but I've forgotten
you ready been ready. What's it like when the season ends? Like,
do you go back in on Monday or Tuesday and
clean out your locker? Do you have any more meetings
as a team? What do they do? Uh?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Everything happens the day after on Monday.
Speaker 7 (31:28):
Yeah, and it is bittersweet in summer regards, it's the worst.
In the summer regards, it's the best.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
So you know, when when a team gets we got eliminated,
what like three weeks ago, four weeks ago, we were
mathematically out. But you know when when a team has
to have like seven things go their way in the
last two weeks, and some commentator will say, these guys
are already in Cancun, like they'll use that linement mentally
they've checked out because they know the chances.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
That they get in there almost zero.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Now in our case, how many what percentage of Minnesota
Vikings do you believe are already out of the state
or even maybe out of the country because they booked
a trip a month ago to go somewhere tropical and
get the hell out of here.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Because yeah, so.
Speaker 7 (32:13):
That it's the timing of it that is that is important.
Because when you know three or four weeks in advance
that you're going to be done, done, mathematically completely eliminated,
you do you do start making plans, at least your
significant other will make start making plans. I would say
percentage wise, today's Thursday, I would say sixty percent of
(32:34):
the team is out out of the state right now,
if not more, because some guys don't do then they're
not They don't have toes in the sand just yet.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
What percentage of Vikings live in this state? Not many,
not many, not many. This this is a beautiful place
to raise a family. What's their problem?
Speaker 7 (32:52):
Well, based on all of Isaiah Rodgers' tweets from the
time that winter actually winter hit, I mean, he is
not fan.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
So my guess is he gone? But I don't know.
Speaker 7 (33:05):
Maybe he's going to stick around because he's got a
young family and maybe they just they want to stick
around for a little while.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
But it's one of those situations where you like, you
live in Seattle, but you work in Boston, you know.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
What I mean, could be like the yeah, but you
don't really like Seattle. Yeah that's true, I know, yeah, yeah,
what if what? But what if?
Speaker 3 (33:24):
What?
Speaker 2 (33:26):
You're just singing Creed I love.
Speaker 7 (33:29):
But you know, a guy like Jonathan Gernard, who he
seems like he's going to be here for most of
the year, but he is. He is building a place
back in Georgia which is gonna be like his forever home.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
You know.
Speaker 7 (33:40):
He's a guy that like may not be on vacation,
but just like might be back home, you know. So
there are a lot of guys that leave the state
and leave the team. They don't necessarily go on vacation.
They'll just like go back home.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
What percentage of Minnesota Vikings are currently in Las Vegas?
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Let me reword that.
Speaker 11 (33:54):
How many cool guys do we have on this team?
A lot of cool guys guys And you want to
know specifically Las Vegas go straight to Vegas. Yeah, the
season's over. You just you're just flushed with cash.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
You're wondering who the next coach of the Vegas Raiders
is going to be, just in case you want to
jump ship. Yeah, it's a great dude, great dude, Sitch,
great frozen Margs Max.
Speaker 7 (34:19):
So I should I should to ask you this, is
there a big fight this weekend of any kind in Vegas?
Speaker 2 (34:24):
I don't think like a real sanction fight, not just
like a bar brawl, not off the top of my head,
not that I can think of.
Speaker 10 (34:35):
I don't think there's any UFC, And I mean boxing
just doesn't move the needle the same way that it
used to. So I'm possibly, but I'm not that I
can think of a Yeah, I.
Speaker 7 (34:45):
Was gonna say, if if there was a big fight,
then definitely if you are in that first four years
five years of being in the league, like young twenties.
My guess is you're there. Yeah, like as that would be.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Yeah, I try to be Yeah, all that money and
this problem, it'd.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Bees which one?
Speaker 3 (35:08):
We're taking care of them one at a.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Time, one at a time.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Hey, Ben, yep, I'm going to ask you a real
sports radio station question.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
I'm ready.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Here we go, get a little break from the real world.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
You ready, Ben?
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Congratulations, You've been given the opportunity to coach any of
these teams? Which one do you choose? The Ravens, the Giants,
the Browns, the Falcons, the Cardinals, the Titans are the
ray Diars, and you gotta take them account everything, not
just the team and the players, but where do you
want your kids to have to live?
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Okay, so let's go through these real quick, yep, and
now start now.
Speaker 7 (35:45):
Now, some of these might be a little controversial because
I have the list interesting Okay, you got Okay, the
Ravens I would put number two. They're not my number one.
I just have a sneaky suspicion that you might get
one or two, like really good years a lamar, and
(36:08):
then you're gonna see this dramatic drop.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
Off like everybody does when they lose their quarterback.
Speaker 7 (36:13):
Yeah, when especially his style of play, So I don't
know if there's like a lot of longevity there With
Baltimore Cardinals, absolutely not. Put them at the bottom of
the list. The Browns, no, thank you. The Giants organization
is a hot mess, even though I think there's excitement
(36:35):
about Skataboo and and what's his dark Dusty Yeah, Jackson
Dart in Jamaica right now. The Raiders another sort of
hot mess, although they get the number one pick, so
there's some excitement there. So I'll put them at I'll
put them at four.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
You do get to live in the greatest city in
the world.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
I mean that's going to be a plus. And the dude,
it's really good. Million of a million. Wow.
Speaker 7 (37:02):
The Falcons seem like they actually have I sort of
like their overall vibe with the organization, the team, all
that stuff. You do have to figure out what you
want to do at the quarterback spot. But my number
one spot.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Would be the Titans.
Speaker 7 (37:17):
I think I think cam Ward Canon will be a
really really good quarterback. And if you're gonna throw in
like family and quality, yeah, brand new stadium, quality of life,
no income tax in Nashville, Dolly Parton, you're in Nashville.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Yeah, Tennessee's my number one at Giant Racings with a
live band.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
Harry Underwood.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
Yeah, what do you What do you guys think about that?
Speaker 7 (37:46):
Where would Tennessee be on your list from a holistic
coaching and family vibe.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
I've never been to Nashville, so that happened. Either's just
driven through Tennessee. So I'm not familiar with this.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
Can I throw something else at you too? That there
the reason Tennessee would be number one for me as well?
But you go to New York the expectations you better
win now right. You know a lot of these teams
are like that. You can go to Tennessee and build
that team. The pressure just doesn't seem like it would
be as high there.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
Maybe I'm wrong about it, but I don't know.
Speaker 7 (38:14):
I mean, it doesn't really max So you can jump
in on this too, like it. I think they're under
the radar. Is still a lot of pressure there, you know,
I don't think it was. It wasn't easy to fire
Vray Bowl, but they did it. Yeah, you know, so
I think they're they're willing to be a little cutthroat
max your thoughts.
Speaker 10 (38:33):
I think so because like probably I'm not as high
of a winning percentage. But the Titans are similar to
the Vikings in a way that they've been successful more
than not throughout my lifetime. I feel like this has
been kind of rare over the last handful of years,
where they're completely irrelevant and just garbage. They've been in
the mix for most of my lifetime, so I would
(38:54):
imagine that there is some sort of some sort of
pressure there. I would actually put Atlanta a little bit
high are online, just because the NFC South is so
crazy and you can go from worse to first. That's
in a second, in a heartbeat, you could be the
Panthers and all of a sudden you're hosting a playoff game.
And the Falcons have a really good roster and they
have for the last couple of years. They just don't
seem like they're able to put it together.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Sauce you gonna say something.
Speaker 6 (39:18):
I just have a question, Uh, what about the rumors
that Harbaugh is waiting to see if the Bills or
the Packers coach gets fired.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
I still don't I still.
Speaker 7 (39:31):
Don't understand, like that's I put that in the same
category of Justin Herbert's steam that they would they would
have the audacity to trade him.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
You know, like that was mostly started by Sauce. He
wants Herbert bad.
Speaker 7 (39:46):
It went national, and I mean whoever started it. I mean,
kudo's hat tip to you, Sauce if you started that.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
But I just like talking sports.
Speaker 6 (39:55):
And Twitter isn't as mean as you guys.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Twitter's not is mean. Man.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
If that's true, we better look at her.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
Yeah, you guys better look at the mirror.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Yeah, let me let me get the exact quote for
you here, Benjamin. This is the real deal. It's exactly
what you just said. Uh, this is from like.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
The day and a half ago.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
If the Chargers lose on Sunday night and I'm the Vikings,
I circle back to Justin Herbert your thoughts dot dot dot,
and then in parentheses, Harbaugh loves JJ.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
That's his tweet. Yep. Yeah, with a gift of Justin
Herbert not even making any sense.
Speaker 7 (40:29):
Well, the thing is, like I've I've heard it from
national accounts that don't be surprised if there's there is
some movement or possible talks I guess involving Justin Herbert
if they lose this weekend, and I just think that
that's preposterous, that's so ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
Let's say that is a true franchise quarterback. Let's say
that's the case.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
Though, Let's say he's available if you're if you're the Vikings,
and it sounds like sauces, But if you're the Vikings,
what do you do?
Speaker 2 (40:58):
How much are you wanting to give up?
Speaker 7 (41:00):
I mean, you definitely entertain it. I mean, the thing
is like between he and if it's legitimate that Joe
Burrow is going to be on the market as well,
that does lessen the cost a little bit. I mean,
now it's not so much a bidding war for one guy.
Now there's a bidding war for two guys. So maybe
you can get a little bit of a bargain, a
little bit of a break, but you're gonna have to
give up a lot. I mean, I would love to
(41:20):
see the Vikings do it. How do you not pass
up an opportunity to get a quarterback like that? You know,
that's proven, that's like legit at the start of his prime,
which is why I think LA would be so dumb,
so dumb to do that.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
So I don't think it's gonna happen.
Speaker 7 (41:37):
I don't think Joe Burrow is going to be in play,
so anyway, to get back to the head coaching rumors,
I think it's as preposterous that Lafleur would get fired.
And I don't think I think McDermott's going to get
fired as well. So I'd be surprised if either one
of those guys got got let go. But listen, this
is a crazy league. You never know. You never know
(41:58):
what's going on behind the scenes ever. Know who is
like just saving face and putting on a good face publicly.
They might hate the owner, the ownership, the GM, I
don't know. I don't know what that's like. But usually
where there's smoke, there is fire. And we've heard this
Lafluur thing now for a few weeks.
Speaker 3 (42:14):
Do you have any smoke on whether or not we
will have a different defensive coordinator extra?
Speaker 2 (42:19):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (42:21):
I just keep thinking that if the Raiders opportunity is
for real, I think that's a really hard job for
him to turn down, to be reunited with Tom Brady
and to get the number one overall pick. And if
it is Brian day Ball and they do get the
whole band back together. Then then he's got a seasoned
offensive coordinator with head coaching experience that he can just
(42:44):
let him run the offense and he can be a
fully autonomous on the defense. And it seems like the
perfect Cinderella situation.
Speaker 3 (42:51):
So for us, I'd love it for him.
Speaker 7 (42:53):
Same here, Like I think it's I think it's one
of those opportunities that's very rare. He's going to have
the uh, the support of Tom Brady within the ownership group.
That's you're never going to have that type of support
and that sort of fan internally at any other organization.
So I think if he's offered the job, he should
probably take it.
Speaker 8 (43:15):
I just saw the question asked on ESPN, and I
haven't even thought about it, but the Kurt Signetti rumors
potentially keeping the band together from college to pro, obviously
they're looking at that quarterback as well.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
What do you think of that?
Speaker 7 (43:31):
Yeah, I mean, I sort of agree with with Fargo
Flash on this that he's they've got something good rolling
right now.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
I don't know how much.
Speaker 7 (43:43):
He he loves the portal and the NCAA in all
of that crazy point in college football, but you know,
you work so hard as a college football coach to
get to this point where you don't have to be
the one recruit anymore, like the kids kind of recruit you.
(44:03):
And he's in that sweet spot now where he's got
Mark Cuban, They've got a ton of money, they're in
the Big Ten, they're in a championship conference, they can
compete every single year. It seems like in Bloomington, Indiana,
they're gonna build a statue for him after two years,
you know, so his runway for success and longevity and
(44:24):
job security seems like it's a ten to fifteen year length.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
He's not going to get that in the pros.
Speaker 7 (44:32):
Now you shed all of those other headaches, like all
of the other things that you have to deal with
transfers and paying, you know, re recruiting your players, and
everybody's on a one year deal.
Speaker 2 (44:43):
All of that garbage is gone.
Speaker 7 (44:46):
So I don't know, I think it'd be enticing, But
at the same time, it'd be really nice that it
seems like at his age, if you could coach for
the next ten or twelve years and just wipe your
hands clean, call it good, build him a bronze statue.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
Outside.
Speaker 7 (44:59):
Maybe he's got a national title to title two and
then he goes to the College Football Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3 (45:03):
It seems like a pretty good deal to me. It's
good life, man, it's a good life. Yeah, Bobby Knight
found a way to be the king of Indiana for
a long long time.
Speaker 2 (45:10):
Yeah. And I've never been there, and Hawky, you can
probably attest. I heard.
Speaker 7 (45:15):
It's a beautiful place. It's in a gorgeous campus. It's
a great place to just kind of like put your
roots for.
Speaker 3 (45:21):
It's just a great area of the country for sports period. Man,
it really is. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (45:27):
But can you see the Excalibur from the stadium You cannot?
Speaker 2 (45:31):
Well, they could probably build him one though.
Speaker 1 (45:33):
Is their prostitution legalized in Indiana?
Speaker 2 (45:37):
At least the works there? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (45:39):
It mean funns legal checkmate Las Vegas, Nevada, uh fan

could do the heart, you could do the thumbs up.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
I can't do it. I got to quit the gambling thing.

We have to pay up, and Mark, do you want
an open town by the beers?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
So like, let's just.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Say with the golf season, right, let's just let's just
say we're doing the PGA Sason. We don't do everyone though,
and we pay up at the end of the year.
So we like, if you're down deep, you can double
down and.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Just get it.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
We can't do you can't do everything.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Everything you're saying is actually worse for somebody that has
a gambling problem.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Yeah, to pay up till the end, fail steake, you know't.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Pay you won't be a live by then.

The way his mind works is beautiful.

Yeah, he's got a beautiful money. And you know what,
we all needed a good laugh this morning. And that's
that's why we're here. We know all the serious things
going on in the world. We're not ignoring it, but
we're trying to, I guess, do the impossible. And that's
an make you feel better on a terrible hard day
and unite the world, if at all, even just a
(14:24):
little bit. And Tommy unites us all with giant question marks.
No matter how divided we are, we can look at

I love y'all.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I love everybody, Tuppy too, hark Yeah, I love it
all you guys.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Hey, what was it like in the newsroom yesterday?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Oh man, it was it was chaotic, but it was
you know.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
We should tell people who don't know, what do you
do during the day?
Speaker 10 (14:50):
I work at Fox nine, I'm I'm a television house
in the afternoons also a producer, producer, slash host. But
yesterday it's one of those days when, like we we
could just feel a buzz before the news actually broke.
We kind of saw some people jogging, you know, around
the newsroom and or like, what the what the heck
is going on? Then we started seeing the bosses show
(15:10):
up and everybody starts gathering, and it was just very
It was really cool, even though obviously it's an incredibly
tragic situation and infuriating situation and dystopian like situation, but
it was cool to be on the inside and kind
of get the trickle of information like, okay, we got
the broad overview of what happened, and then more details
are coming in slowly and you kind of see everybody
(15:32):
drop what they're doing and all become it's almost like
like Vultron, like everybody just forms into one giant robot,
and we form into one kind of conglomeration. Everybody, the
professionals that I work with, to be able to just
do that on a dime, and they broadcast from like
something like eleven until I had left and they were
still on the air, no commercial breaks. It is it
(15:54):
is absolutely incredible what that team is capable of in
those type of situations. And it was just really cool,
like to be on the inside and get to learn
from that, Like it was. It's it's it's hard to
to have to like engage with that, you know, like
it's it's easy to kind of turn the TV off,
but to have to engage with it in a meaningful yeah,
and critical way like that, and and find a way
(16:15):
to disseminate that information in a way that's helpful, Yeah,
in a way that's helpful to people, you know, like
because obviously you have feelings in your heart and in
your soul and in your stomach about that situation, but
you have to also like give people the information because
that's that's what they're there for.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
So it was it was chaotic.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
It is interesting to see people that that you work with,
that you know, that you have lunch with, or you
you goof around with, and then see them turn on
their business side, yeah, and do their job at a
high quality level.
Speaker 10 (16:45):
In an instant Yeah, And and it's really cool to
to be able to learn from that, uh from the
inside in.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
I been my Ben.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
You miss Tommy completely.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Well, we embrace in the hallway.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
You just made his day.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yeah, Oky, what happened?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
What happened with you guys on Twin City's Live yesterday?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
With the news breaking? You know, early afternoon? What'd you
guys do Twin City's Live? Didn't we we lucked out?
I mean everything, everything was done and wrapped up by
three o'clock. So all the press conferences.
Speaker 7 (17:13):
All the press conference think, I think walls like we
were literally sitting in our chairs ready to do our
live tease. He was finishing his last answer to the
last question. I think they said when we got our
IFB's on there, like, yeah, this is the somebody already
asked the last question he's answering right now. Sounds like
we're gonna just have a reaction back in studio and
(17:36):
then we're just going to go right to the show.
So yeah, we I think we we missed out on
about ninety seconds of programming.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Did you think most of the early afternoon that you
were going to get preempted and probably missed the entire show?
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Is that what it was tiling towards.
Speaker 7 (17:52):
So we had we had contingency plans for our for guests,
like what we're going to do, and it's kind of
the worst case in a four And you guys would
understand this that about an hour and a half before
we went live, there was the possibility that we weren't
going to have a show at all.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
So then your mind goes like, well, that'd be great
not to have a show. What am I gonna do
with the rest of my day?
Speaker 7 (18:17):
The thing is like, we would have to tape a
few things, we'd have to do a couple things, so
like it wouldn't have been like a complete day off.
But your mindset just goes into like, oh, well, I
don't have to be like in go mode right now.
But then they're like, it's kind of looking like we're
going to be on. So then you like get fully
ready and then you sit down and it's like you
just don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
So I don't know.
Speaker 7 (18:36):
I hate that situation. I'd which rather it's like you're
either on or you're off, you know. And then yeah,
we kind of got the green light shortly before.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
And the other variable that luckily didn't play out was
I think even after the press conference, no one was
quite sure if it was going to escalate, if something
was gonna happen, Yeah, in response to what had already happened.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
And yeah, well you know that happened at about i'll
just say four o'clock, so we had thirty minutes left
to the show. We were told in our ear like,
hold on, we might have breaking news, so like okay,
and then a few minutes later like nope, we're good.
So basically, in hindsight, it's like, well, what happened. I
(19:14):
think that's when they identified her. Oh yeah, so they
didn't know if they're going to break in with that,
But no, they didn't, So we just kept the show going.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Yeah, and that's what we're doing here today. So thanks
forunning the Power Trip and thanks for coming in.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
Ben.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
We know you were a touching go for a minute,
so we're glad you're here. So let's suck some storce
with you, shall we.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
It's time for a fan five on the Power Trip,
presented by All Around Your Timber Tech deck building contractor
mac So.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
Last night, the NBA had a trade. The Atlanta Hawks
traded four time NBA All Star Trey Young to the
Washington Wizards, where he wanted to go for CJ. McCullum
and something called Corey Kisper.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Yeah, I found that odd.
Speaker 10 (20:02):
But also there was kind of reports earlier in the
day that said he was interested in some other franchises,
including the Timberwolves, and according to those reports, the Timbrelves
were not interested back despite some earlier rumors kind of
I mean years long rumors, right, Sauce. I mean, we've
kind of been speculating about this Tree Young thing for
a long time. But and there was kind of conflicting reports,
but the final report that came out and said, yeah,
(20:22):
Timberwlves were not very interested in a Trey Young type deal,
and so he's like, well, I want to go to
the Wizards, and weirdly enough, I'd somehow got pulled into
Washington Wizards Twitter on my algorithm and they A lot
of people are thinking that the Wizards could be a
Detroit Pistons type team in a couple of years, because
I guess Trey Young's not the first person that's wanted
(20:43):
to go to the Wizards in recent memories, so they
might be building something. But obviously they're years away from
anything realistic.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
But yeah, fresh start for Trey Young. It's kind of weird.
Speaker 10 (20:52):
He's been a career long Atlanta Hawk. He kind of
you know, he's the face of that franchise. He's in
the modern day. He's who you think of when you
think of the Atlanta Hawks. So it's going to be
weird to see a Hawks team with outree Young. But
a fresh start from him, and they.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Got some They got some real shooters up.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
There in Washington. The Wolves are twenty four and thirteen.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
They host the Calves tonight at seven o'clock. You can
hear that on the Wolves channel on the iHeartRadio app.
Your Wolves are two and a half point favorites.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Let's go.
Speaker 10 (21:23):
Wolves have been They've been hot, man, they've been They've
been hot. They're trying to build a little some thumb here.
So the fifth in the Western Conference right now, and
I think, let me here, they're only like one game
behind the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I mean in two games, one or two games behind
the Nuggets. They're right there. They could be in the
in the top three.
Speaker 10 (21:38):
Man, that's exactly where we want them to be in
the Caves are They're not the same Calves as last year.
So this should be a this is a super winnable
game and they're super injured, so you.
Speaker 7 (21:45):
Don't know's surprised to see last night. So I got
a buddy of mine got tickets and he has a
partial season ticket situation to the Tommies, the basketball team.
So we were at the game last night and there's
Finchy sitting right there. I'm like, oh no, what a
night off. And you're at Thomas Thommy's basketball game.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Like, well, really like you know the game?
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Yeah, you don't want to like be home on a
night like grab a beer. Yeah. Guy loves ball. He
loves ball.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
He's a new stadium and they got the new place
is awesome, good things.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
Yeah, yeah, it's super sweet. So yeah, now I got
to check off a list of a hockey game. I'm
kind of like narrowing it down right now, trying to
figure out a time to go watch a hockey game
in there.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
But it looks awesome. But your buddy has partial season tickets.
Speaker 7 (22:28):
Yeah, I guess he shares tickets with some other friends.
I think he has eight maybe eight games this whole season.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Because we are convinced that Sauce's friend Smitty Yum's brother,
Phil de Agony has season tickets to the Crack and
it might be at the wild game tonight.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
In case you're wondering he might be there.
Speaker 8 (22:43):
It's been hard to focus on the show this morning.
Really good to know. Yeah, if you want to, he.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Watched chapter seventeen of the book, by the way, in
case you're looking for cliff notes.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeahsh I feel like we're way past seventeen.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
But you know, yeah, we we go backwards sometimes.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah, Cliffs, are you going to be up late enough
to tweet out if he's at the game, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
I doubt it starts at nine. Just tell us tomorrow morning.
Speaker 6 (23:03):
I'm sure he'll listen to the podcast and text me.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I'll send out a tweet.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
We can't wait. Yeah, Ben, have you have you uh
prepared yourself for college football tonight?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
I have not?
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Actually Fargo Flash said you took Ole miss I did?
Speaker 2 (23:23):
I did? Yeah? Wow.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
Typically I typically lean towards who's got the better defense
and these type of big time games. But here's the
I still am not sold on Carson Beck. And I
know that he has done some things and he has
seemingly turned his career around at Miami, but the way
that that offense is for ole Miss and just the storyline.
(23:50):
It's more of a hopeful bet that I'm just kind
of betting with my heart on this one that I
hope they just stick at to Lane Kiffen and they
just keep going.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
The game tomorrow is the Oregon Ducks battle number one
ranked Dinah. Wow, that's six thirty and the Chick fil
A Peach Bowl. The Hoosiers are three and a half
point favorites. Indiana beat them in Oregon earlier this season
thirty to twenty.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
I got a lot of faith in Mason West And yeah, sorry.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Dudy, I'll take the Hornets on that one. Yeah, I would. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (24:32):
The Wild Battle the Crack in the Night at nine,
it's the final game of their seven game road trip.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Preak's going to be there.
Speaker 6 (24:39):
Is that eight forty five right here on the fan?
I think filled the agony. I think he has season tickets.
Speaker 8 (24:45):
It's a little early, but I think it might be
worth calling him.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Do you have his number? I mean it's five thirty
five in Seattle. Oh, of course I have his number.
Speaker 8 (24:53):
Yeah, but I think you would understand the considering the
urgent nature, the importance of this call yeah, I'll text.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Are you going to the mall later? Cracking?
Speaker 3 (25:14):
We don't care season, We don't even care what if
he wakes up to that text.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I mean he's known me for thirty years. He hates
my guts.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Oh yeah, well yeah, your thoughts.
Speaker 8 (25:32):
Yeah, I just to keep us posted, to make sure
your ringers on, so we don't waste any moments of
wondering if phillyag and he is going to be there
or not. But he will see a good Phil and
he's brother, Phil die Andy's brother. I apologize, We're got there,
We got the air. Uh No, yeah, as you mentioned, Yeah,
wild closing on a long ass road trip. They have
(25:52):
not been in town for almost two weeks, so they
are excited to get home. Hopefully we'll go out with
a bang. Uh And Seattle's been very very good lately.
So it's another big test for a team that has
had a lot of tests on this road trip, and
perhaps none greater at this point than the very red
hot cracking.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
It happened again.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
By the way, I'm wrong, and nobody corrected me. Smitty,
yours brother Phil the eggity, Yeah, it's no, it's this
is Mandela effect. You guys just assume that I'm always
righting Sauce is always wrong.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
That's that is true percent of the time. True.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
But yeah, now when I'm wrong, nobody corrects me because
they just assume that Sauce must.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Have been wrong.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
That right, You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
We haven't talked to young and lovely Ben Lieber about
all the different changes in coaching round. Oh, I know
going on. I'm excited about the I mean, for sure,
the possibilities. Man, I mean, where's Harbaugh gonna go? Man,
I don't know. It ain't so bad to lose your
job when every other job's available.
Speaker 6 (26:52):
And he's gonna wait till next week to see if
any more jobs become available?
Speaker 7 (26:57):
Any more jobs, job job, Yeah, you're on fire.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
I wonder why people think I am right and you're
wrong all the time. I wonder why Zach your hands up?
Speaker 8 (27:11):
Apparently the Dina head coaching position just opened.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Are there any jobs? Jobs?
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Damn it?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Why don't you wait a week and see what's available.
Viking's News slash NFL News is next with Ben Leber
right here on the Power of Dream Morning Show on
the Fan.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
But that's a great point.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
It is, like, I mean, it's like a I made.
It really is specifically for Zach.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
It's like God felt bad something and did a did
a solid for you.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
I said when we first heard about that show, if
the two guys that are in heated rivalry go to
a shine down show, we know you're one of the showrunners, right,
that's how close it is.
Speaker 8 (28:06):
But I mean it's not even close. I mean it's
already there. That would just be that it's too much.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Yeah, yeah, plus and take away makeout times correct?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Or like what if what if after either a makeout
session or a hockey game unheated rivalry, what if the
two guys were just like this gatorade sucks, where's diet coke?
And they both just drink like a gallon and.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
Yours it's your nips.
Speaker 10 (28:35):
Okay, you don't know. By the way, it is not
a makeout session. If you've ever seen that show, it
is more than that.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Oh, billy billy.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Ladies and gentlemen, I please have your attention. I've just
been handed an urgent and horrifying news story, and I
need all of you to stop what you're doing and listen.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Now.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
In the past, with serious situations going on here or
across the country or across the globe.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
We've been accused as a power trip money show of.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Hitting that button when the following breaking news is not important,
and the following breaking news in this case will not
be important. We hit that button sometimes seriously, sometimes when
it's about sports, or in this case, when it's an
update on who's going to go to a kracking game?
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Okay, he texted me back, philed the agony filled it.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
I thought it was his brother.
Speaker 8 (29:30):
No, that was wrong last segment. Hold on, hit the
drum roll. I mean, this is this is a.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Big and here with the phill, the agony, wild cracking
and attendance update is the fans markets sauce.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
It's not about you. He is going okay.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Thank god?
Speaker 2 (29:53):
All right?
Speaker 3 (29:54):
And the game again once again, is just so clear
that is not a home game for us.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Seattle.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Yeah, he live but pill the Agony no longer works
for Amazon. He works for quote another company I think
a company out of Boston. But he lives in Seattle. Yeah,
but I think he works online. Sure, well obviously not
in personal so that's Boston.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Yeah. The only fans, I mean, maybe it's not a
bad gig. Not he texted me, Oh great, thank you
for the please. So he's up right now if Boston he's.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Watching that hockey show.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Wonder if he's up right now, and he just tuned in,
Like why are they talking about whether or not I'm
going to the wild game?
Speaker 6 (30:36):
He said, My wife loves Heated Rivalry. She's making me
watch it again because she cried three times in the
first three episodes.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Wow, week crying. Okay, Yeah, I'm like, I cried at
the last.
Speaker 8 (30:56):
Well okay, the third episode, yeah I cried, and the
sixth episode, I cried. Come on over, buddy, I did
that in the first two and.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Really all those other episodes the Power Trip presented.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
All right, I'm gonna start with the generic Vikings question
I already probably know the answer to, but I've forgotten
you ready been ready. What's it like when the season ends? Like,
do you go back in on Monday or Tuesday and
clean out your locker? Do you have any more meetings
as a team? What do they do? Uh?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Everything happens the day after on Monday.
Speaker 7 (31:28):
Yeah, and it is bittersweet in summer regards, it's the worst.
In the summer regards, it's the best.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
So you know, when when a team gets we got eliminated,
what like three weeks ago, four weeks ago, we were
mathematically out. But you know when when a team has
to have like seven things go their way in the
last two weeks, and some commentator will say, these guys
are already in Cancun, like they'll use that linement mentally
they've checked out because they know the chances.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
That they get in there almost zero.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Now in our case, how many what percentage of Minnesota
Vikings do you believe are already out of the state
or even maybe out of the country because they booked
a trip a month ago to go somewhere tropical and
get the hell out of here.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Because yeah, so.
Speaker 7 (32:13):
That it's the timing of it that is that is important.
Because when you know three or four weeks in advance
that you're going to be done, done, mathematically completely eliminated,
you do you do start making plans, at least your
significant other will make start making plans. I would say
percentage wise, today's Thursday, I would say sixty percent of
(32:34):
the team is out out of the state right now,
if not more, because some guys don't do then they're
not They don't have toes in the sand just yet.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
What percentage of Vikings live in this state? Not many,
not many, not many. This this is a beautiful place
to raise a family. What's their problem?
Speaker 7 (32:52):
Well, based on all of Isaiah Rodgers' tweets from the
time that winter actually winter hit, I mean, he is
not fan.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
So my guess is he gone? But I don't know.
Speaker 7 (33:05):
Maybe he's going to stick around because he's got a
young family and maybe they just they want to stick
around for a little while.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
But it's one of those situations where you like, you
live in Seattle, but you work in Boston, you know.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
What I mean, could be like the yeah, but you
don't really like Seattle. Yeah that's true, I know, yeah, yeah,
what if what? But what if?
Speaker 3 (33:24):
What?
Speaker 2 (33:26):
You're just singing Creed I love.
Speaker 7 (33:29):
But you know, a guy like Jonathan Gernard, who he
seems like he's going to be here for most of
the year, but he is. He is building a place
back in Georgia which is gonna be like his forever home.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
You know.
Speaker 7 (33:40):
He's a guy that like may not be on vacation,
but just like might be back home, you know. So
there are a lot of guys that leave the state
and leave the team. They don't necessarily go on vacation.
They'll just like go back home.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
What percentage of Minnesota Vikings are currently in Las Vegas?
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Let me reword that.
Speaker 11 (33:54):
How many cool guys do we have on this team?
A lot of cool guys guys And you want to
know specifically Las Vegas go straight to Vegas. Yeah, the
season's over. You just you're just flushed with cash.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
You're wondering who the next coach of the Vegas Raiders
is going to be, just in case you want to
jump ship. Yeah, it's a great dude, great dude, Sitch,
great frozen Margs Max.
Speaker 7 (34:19):
So I should I should to ask you this, is
there a big fight this weekend of any kind in Vegas?
Speaker 2 (34:24):
I don't think like a real sanction fight, not just
like a bar brawl, not off the top of my head,
not that I can think of.
Speaker 10 (34:35):
I don't think there's any UFC, And I mean boxing
just doesn't move the needle the same way that it
used to. So I'm possibly, but I'm not that I
can think of a Yeah, I.
Speaker 7 (34:45):
Was gonna say, if if there was a big fight,
then definitely if you are in that first four years
five years of being in the league, like young twenties.
My guess is you're there. Yeah, like as that would be.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Yeah, I try to be Yeah, all that money and
this problem, it'd.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Bees which one?
Speaker 3 (35:08):
We're taking care of them one at a.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Time, one at a time.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Hey, Ben, yep, I'm going to ask you a real
sports radio station question.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
I'm ready.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Here we go, get a little break from the real world.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
You ready, Ben?
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Congratulations, You've been given the opportunity to coach any of
these teams? Which one do you choose? The Ravens, the Giants,
the Browns, the Falcons, the Cardinals, the Titans are the
ray Diars, and you gotta take them account everything, not
just the team and the players, but where do you
want your kids to have to live?
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Okay, so let's go through these real quick, yep, and
now start now.
Speaker 7 (35:45):
Now, some of these might be a little controversial because
I have the list interesting Okay, you got Okay, the
Ravens I would put number two. They're not my number one.
I just have a sneaky suspicion that you might get
one or two, like really good years a lamar, and
(36:08):
then you're gonna see this dramatic drop.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
Off like everybody does when they lose their quarterback.
Speaker 7 (36:13):
Yeah, when especially his style of play, So I don't
know if there's like a lot of longevity there With
Baltimore Cardinals, absolutely not. Put them at the bottom of
the list. The Browns, no, thank you. The Giants organization
is a hot mess, even though I think there's excitement
(36:35):
about Skataboo and and what's his dark Dusty Yeah, Jackson
Dart in Jamaica right now. The Raiders another sort of
hot mess, although they get the number one pick, so
there's some excitement there. So I'll put them at I'll
put them at four.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
You do get to live in the greatest city in
the world.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
I mean that's going to be a plus. And the dude,
it's really good. Million of a million. Wow.
Speaker 7 (37:02):
The Falcons seem like they actually have I sort of
like their overall vibe with the organization, the team, all
that stuff. You do have to figure out what you
want to do at the quarterback spot. But my number
one spot.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Would be the Titans.
Speaker 7 (37:17):
I think I think cam Ward Canon will be a
really really good quarterback. And if you're gonna throw in
like family and quality, yeah, brand new stadium, quality of life,
no income tax in Nashville, Dolly Parton, you're in Nashville.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Yeah, Tennessee's my number one at Giant Racings with a
live band.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
Harry Underwood.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
Yeah, what do you What do you guys think about that?
Speaker 7 (37:46):
Where would Tennessee be on your list from a holistic
coaching and family vibe.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
I've never been to Nashville, so that happened. Either's just
driven through Tennessee. So I'm not familiar with this.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
Can I throw something else at you too? That there
the reason Tennessee would be number one for me as well?
But you go to New York the expectations you better
win now right. You know a lot of these teams
are like that. You can go to Tennessee and build
that team. The pressure just doesn't seem like it would
be as high there.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
Maybe I'm wrong about it, but I don't know.
Speaker 7 (38:14):
I mean, it doesn't really max So you can jump
in on this too, like it. I think they're under
the radar. Is still a lot of pressure there, you know,
I don't think it was. It wasn't easy to fire
Vray Bowl, but they did it. Yeah, you know, so
I think they're they're willing to be a little cutthroat
max your thoughts.
Speaker 10 (38:33):
I think so because like probably I'm not as high
of a winning percentage. But the Titans are similar to
the Vikings in a way that they've been successful more
than not throughout my lifetime. I feel like this has
been kind of rare over the last handful of years,
where they're completely irrelevant and just garbage. They've been in
the mix for most of my lifetime, so I would
(38:54):
imagine that there is some sort of some sort of
pressure there. I would actually put Atlanta a little bit
high are online, just because the NFC South is so
crazy and you can go from worse to first. That's
in a second, in a heartbeat, you could be the
Panthers and all of a sudden you're hosting a playoff game.
And the Falcons have a really good roster and they
have for the last couple of years. They just don't
seem like they're able to put it together.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Sauce you gonna say something.
Speaker 6 (39:18):
I just have a question, Uh, what about the rumors
that Harbaugh is waiting to see if the Bills or
the Packers coach gets fired.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
I still don't I still.
Speaker 7 (39:31):
Don't understand, like that's I put that in the same
category of Justin Herbert's steam that they would they would
have the audacity to trade him.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
You know, like that was mostly started by Sauce. He
wants Herbert bad.
Speaker 7 (39:46):
It went national, and I mean whoever started it. I mean,
kudo's hat tip to you, Sauce if you started that.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
But I just like talking sports.
Speaker 6 (39:55):
And Twitter isn't as mean as you guys.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Twitter's not is mean. Man.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
If that's true, we better look at her.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
Yeah, you guys better look at the mirror.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Yeah, let me let me get the exact quote for
you here, Benjamin. This is the real deal. It's exactly
what you just said. Uh, this is from like.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
The day and a half ago.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
If the Chargers lose on Sunday night and I'm the Vikings,
I circle back to Justin Herbert your thoughts dot dot dot,
and then in parentheses, Harbaugh loves JJ.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
That's his tweet. Yep. Yeah, with a gift of Justin
Herbert not even making any sense.
Speaker 7 (40:29):
Well, the thing is, like I've I've heard it from
national accounts that don't be surprised if there's there is
some movement or possible talks I guess involving Justin Herbert
if they lose this weekend, and I just think that
that's preposterous, that's so ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
Let's say that is a true franchise quarterback. Let's say
that's the case.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
Though, Let's say he's available if you're if you're the Vikings,
and it sounds like sauces, But if you're the Vikings,
what do you do?
Speaker 2 (40:58):
How much are you wanting to give up?
Speaker 7 (41:00):
I mean, you definitely entertain it. I mean, the thing
is like between he and if it's legitimate that Joe
Burrow is going to be on the market as well,
that does lessen the cost a little bit. I mean,
now it's not so much a bidding war for one guy.
Now there's a bidding war for two guys. So maybe
you can get a little bit of a bargain, a
little bit of a break, but you're gonna have to
give up a lot. I mean, I would love to
(41:20):
see the Vikings do it. How do you not pass
up an opportunity to get a quarterback like that? You know,
that's proven, that's like legit at the start of his prime,
which is why I think LA would be so dumb,
so dumb to do that.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
So I don't think it's gonna happen.
Speaker 7 (41:37):
I don't think Joe Burrow is going to be in play,
so anyway, to get back to the head coaching rumors,
I think it's as preposterous that Lafleur would get fired.
And I don't think I think McDermott's going to get
fired as well. So I'd be surprised if either one
of those guys got got let go. But listen, this
is a crazy league. You never know. You never know
(41:58):
what's going on behind the scenes ever. Know who is
like just saving face and putting on a good face publicly.
They might hate the owner, the ownership, the GM, I
don't know. I don't know what that's like. But usually
where there's smoke, there is fire. And we've heard this
Lafluur thing now for a few weeks.
Speaker 3 (42:14):
Do you have any smoke on whether or not we
will have a different defensive coordinator extra?
Speaker 2 (42:19):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (42:21):
I just keep thinking that if the Raiders opportunity is
for real, I think that's a really hard job for
him to turn down, to be reunited with Tom Brady
and to get the number one overall pick. And if
it is Brian day Ball and they do get the
whole band back together. Then then he's got a seasoned
offensive coordinator with head coaching experience that he can just
(42:44):
let him run the offense and he can be a
fully autonomous on the defense. And it seems like the
perfect Cinderella situation.
Speaker 3 (42:51):
So for us, I'd love it for him.
Speaker 7 (42:53):
Same here, Like I think it's I think it's one
of those opportunities that's very rare. He's going to have
the uh, the support of Tom Brady within the ownership group.
That's you're never going to have that type of support
and that sort of fan internally at any other organization.
So I think if he's offered the job, he should
probably take it.
Speaker 8 (43:15):
I just saw the question asked on ESPN, and I
haven't even thought about it, but the Kurt Signetti rumors
potentially keeping the band together from college to pro, obviously
they're looking at that quarterback as well.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
What do you think of that?
Speaker 7 (43:31):
Yeah, I mean, I sort of agree with with Fargo
Flash on this that he's they've got something good rolling
right now.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
I don't know how much.
Speaker 7 (43:43):
He he loves the portal and the NCAA in all
of that crazy point in college football, but you know,
you work so hard as a college football coach to
get to this point where you don't have to be
the one recruit anymore, like the kids kind of recruit you.
(44:03):
And he's in that sweet spot now where he's got
Mark Cuban, They've got a ton of money, they're in
the Big Ten, they're in a championship conference, they can
compete every single year. It seems like in Bloomington, Indiana,
they're gonna build a statue for him after two years,
you know, so his runway for success and longevity and
(44:24):
job security seems like it's a ten to fifteen year length.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
He's not going to get that in the pros.
Speaker 7 (44:32):
Now you shed all of those other headaches, like all
of the other things that you have to deal with
transfers and paying, you know, re recruiting your players, and
everybody's on a one year deal.
Speaker 2 (44:43):
All of that garbage is gone.
Speaker 7 (44:46):
So I don't know, I think it'd be enticing, But
at the same time, it'd be really nice that it
seems like at his age, if you could coach for
the next ten or twelve years and just wipe your
hands clean, call it good, build him a bronze statue.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
Outside.
Speaker 7 (44:59):
Maybe he's got a national title to title two and
then he goes to the College Football Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3 (45:03):
It seems like a pretty good deal to me. It's
good life, man, it's a good life. Yeah, Bobby Knight
found a way to be the king of Indiana for
a long long time.
Speaker 2 (45:10):
Yeah. And I've never been there, and Hawky, you can
probably attest. I heard.
Speaker 7 (45:15):
It's a beautiful place. It's in a gorgeous campus. It's
a great place to just kind of like put your
roots for.
Speaker 3 (45:21):
It's just a great area of the country for sports period. Man,
it really is. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (45:27):
But can you see the Excalibur from the stadium You cannot?
Speaker 2 (45:31):
Well, they could probably build him one though.
Speaker 1 (45:33):
Is their prostitution legalized in Indiana?
Speaker 2 (45:37):
At least the works there? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (45:39):
It mean funns legal checkmate Las Vegas, Nevada, uh fan
five in a second headlines later Bank, can you stick
around to the.
Speaker 2 (45:46):
End or not until I want to go? I still
