not do you'd like to come onout and be Bernie himself? Yesterday a
federal judge ruled that, uh,we can't have non competes in this country.

(01:07):
About twenty percent of US workers havesigned non competes September fourth, Chris.
According to the so about thirty millionpeople have non competes. But the
Biden administration was trying to get thisrejected, and a federal judge said that
the administration is correct that this isnot fair to workers. So starting in
September, non competes banned. Yourthoughts, it's been good knowing you guys.

(01:40):
That's pretty big. Yeah, itsays it. FTC spokesperson Douglas Ferrar
said the decision quote fully vindicates thatthe law allows the agency to ban non
compete clauses quote, which harm competitionby inhibiting workers freedom and mobility while stunting
economic growth. Stunt my growth.So highest bidder hockey camfan dot com September

(02:05):
fifth, though California, Minnesota.He gives us company check us out.
Apparently we were already in this group, so maybe we're delayed on celebrating this.
California, Minnesota, Oklahoma, andNorth Dakota have already banned noncompete agreements.
Yeah, they didn't tell me that. Yeah, and at least another

(02:27):
dozen states have passed laws limiting theiruse. But the FTC's rule would be
the first nationwide band. I thinkanybody would say I'm a good neighbor.
Yes, state farm is there?Come on sauce. Oh, if I
said it, you would have youso funny. I wasn't. I wasn't
listening, and I could tell doesthat work? It's a w C coojo.

(02:53):
No, I get that? Didyou? California, Minnesota, Oklahoma,
North Dakota? How did we notalready get this news? Or did
we already get this news? Talkabout it on the show and forget it?
We definitely talked about that. Sonof a bitch we're getting old?
Could be that wellmore? Oh,yeah, we did talk about it.
I can camp dot com. Don'tyou have like a Chris Hockey dot com

(03:15):
email Chris Hockey at chrishockey dot com. He doesn't check that. No anyway,
nationwide, man, let's go literallytwenty percent. I would not have
guessed it was that high. Twentypercent of US workers have non competes.

(03:36):
Yeah, that's a lot of people, it is. Look at that.
So it's just thirty million people,which is more like ten percent of the
population, But that obviously is twentypercent of the working population, right,
I guess. So sure, whatdo you think of that? Uh?
That's uh. I didn't know thatwas the thing. I didn't know it
was such an inhibiting issue with workers. But sounds good. I guess.

(04:02):
I've never signed a noncompete, sothey never let you in Buffalo. They
never let you play for more thanone team at the same time, though,
right, but you never got toplay for two teams at once.
That's not fair. No, no, nor did I want to. You
can if you want. Yeah,it's calm down, so put your hands

bonus sober? Well, I wassober. I didn't even ask a bonus,
but it was a doll as well, so that was all cool.

(13:31):
Yeah, your thoughts in general ofjust target Field though, I thought it
was really good environment. I likedthe walking around bit. It was oh
We had some Ukrainian sausages start offwith, and then we moved on to
some Indian chickpea stuff. Yeah,I wasn't in America where you get your

(13:58):

Doesn't c hs Field still do theupside down helmet thing. I think they
do. Dairy area. There yougo. I feel like the kidd got

(15:28):
standing the dairy area. Yeah,oh I get it, Madonna. It's
but anyway, Hawk, this willmake you happy. Ready, this will

And yes, you're right. Sorry, Gavin Cason, Chad's texting, what

(15:54):
say Nickelback? Every team hockey inthe NFL will be in camp by the
end of Today's not going to takethis camp hockey cares? I care man.
Yeah, we made it hog footballseason, brother, we made it.
The speech is right around the corner. Yeah, let's go. And
better than football, nothing better thanSunday in a helmet. Yeah, Zach's

(16:21):
clever. I'm I miss him nextweek. That was really good. Let
me know if Abbitt texts about that. Not listening, No, do a
video? I did, No.I was talking to Zach Vikings and offensive
tackle Christian Darisa agreed to a fouryear deal worth up to one hundred and
thirteen million in new money, includingseventy seven million guaranteed. It's like a

(16:41):
dollar two years left on his rookiecontract that includes forty three point seven guaranteed.
When he signs the contract, hisdeal will run through twenty twenty nine.
Let's see here. It's the highestpaid for a tackle, just zero
point two five million more than PennySewell's average deal. Parish, why didn't
you play left tackle in the NFLinstead of hockey for the NBA? Man,

(17:04):
you made some terrible choices. I'mblaming my dad. You couldn't play
baseball. You make good money.Yeah, but he probably did do his
best on that softball too. Yeah, not a lot of not a lot
of money in softball, a lotmore in Major League baseball. Yeah.
Well, what's going on over therewith the microphone? Who's moving their microphone?

(17:30):
It wasn't me this time? Wasit like this? I don't even
know. It wasn't here. Iwas going to say, must be that
seat? Oh saw it still yourturn? I don't know what's happening.
According to Adam Schefter, Cowboys widereceiver C. D Lamb, who has
been unable to land a new contract, will not report to training camp today.

(17:56):
Did you have cd Lamb last nightof target Field? Andy, Yeah,
it's very good. He was scheduledto make seventeen point nine to nine
million this year, but he wantsa new deal. It's a and I
just saw over your head that thatit was reported that he saw anything over
my head. Well, it wastough. I'd look way around that that

(18:17):
he's going to be fined fifty ka day. Yeah, they wipe that
stuff away. No, you can'twipe this away. That one said,
yeah, you couldn't. So Idon't know how long i'd say you stand
out for that they used to write. But yeah, that's what it said,
is that this one would not cannotbe wiped out. I think you
can wipe out the the other ones, the mini camp ones and stuff like

(18:37):
that. I think you could.I think you can get rid of those,
but these ones in the CBA,you cannot get rid of these fifty
k fines. But won't they likelike, won't they like add it into
the content? I mean that Ithink that's the catches. Technically he has
to pay it. Yeah, butif to your point. If the deal
is, you know whatever, onehundred and thirty million, Yeah, you
give him one hundred and thirty pointtwo and just make up the day.

(19:00):
I mean sure, correct, That'swhat I meant. Yeah, Yeah,
he's not gonna pay that out ofpocket. Maybe not u maybe well indirectly
maybe, but yeah, they probablyfind a way to get it back to
him, who knows. But technically, again to perish his point in the
CBA, he cannot have it rescindedby the team. Uh. The Winter

(19:21):
Olympics will be in Salt Lake Cityin twenty thirty four. They will be
in the French Alps in twenty thirtyHi, Rose morning, Rosie Parish,

get to spend an afternoon with Bernie, yeah, pretty cool, I'd say,
man time travel, it's possible.Do you think he wears the outfit
today or just casually casually like Iwould. I would assume maybe at the

(20:29):
actual event he might. I wonder, Oh, we'll see. See.
I gotta be honest with you guys. For like the first three months we
talked about this, I thought Iwas going to be Bernie made off.
That would have been really interesting.Isn't he dead? Yeah, that's just
gone. We should weekend at Bernie. Yeah, Bernie made Let's do like

(20:53):
a voodoo ceremony and get him backup and running. His The documentary that
Netflix did about him as unbelievable.He literally wasn't doing anything. They were
doing nothing. They were faking investments, they weren't doing nothing. He faked
did it for thirty He was theHe's the reason they have is that the

Lakes Hawks. Yeah, they goup north. Yeah. No, So

he goes to the Rams. Ithink you're right. Did he just do
nothing there? I think? So, okay, you know, it's a

(22:03):
good question. I don't know wherehe was and he had a he had
some time. Remember, like bythe by the time his Vikings run was
over, he went from Q littlestory to just is this kind of real
deal? He was a bear beforeus. Yeah, he has played for

(25:49):
Rosie's here, Paris is here.I think we'll have a probably a parish
come sit with me and put Terryright there in between boys and Corey.
Does that works for you guys?Yeah? Hell yeah? Okay, Well,
first we got to do some Vikingsnews. It's time for Vikings News
on The Power Trip, presented byChess radcob It says, so koc Quazy

(26:17):
talk to the press. You guysknew that the other day. Yeah,
the other day. We heard thenews yesterday about t J Hockinson. Here's
KOs talking about that. You know, the significant injury that it was.
We want to make sure throughout ourplan to win, TJ makes it back
on the field and can begin doingmore and more throughout training camp and then
hopefully at some point when he's readyto go. We want to make sure

(26:40):
that you know, everything has donethe right way for TJ because he has
such a significant part of our organizationmoving forward. Yeah, it's uh if
you look at it on face valuewithout knowing how this is all going to
wash out. Starting the season potentiallywithout TJ Hockinson and Jordan Andison could be
problematic again who the Vikings end upputting in wide receiver too, if indeed

(27:03):
Addison gets suspended by the league fora few games. So you know,
that's certainly they have to weigh alltheir options at this point and figure it
all out. But did you haveany any sources that might tell you that
maybe there's a chance perhaps I couldsee Adam deln come back. I haven't
heard anything directly I know. Theother thing we we get exposed to is
JJ McCarthy playing catch with him,you know, during workouts. And you

(27:27):
know, you got to believe Adamwould love to come back and his career
here. You want to have acatch, Yeah, you want to have
a yeah, exactly. So Ithink the bit with that, sorry Rosie,
is somebody somebody posted on Instagram orTwitter that a lot of people have
been asking about that. But Carolinawould have a ton of dead money if
they cut Adam deal. Damn it. Definitely. I think they're going to

(27:56):
go in the house and then potentiallythey could you know, they could still
someone outside. They have a fewwide receivers that are still looking for work.
But and this is just speculation,that's all it is. But I
would I'd be pretty sure the leaguesdidn't hand down some sort of suspension to
mister Addison. M M yeah,what was that? Noise? No no

(28:17):
idea? Anyway, there you go. Here's KOs On Andrew Van Ginkle.
Apparently he's injured as well. Thelinebacker we brought in. He should,
uh you know, more than likely, you know, be able to start
working himself into a pretty regular workloadto start hopefully training camp, but you'll
he has not yet obviously worked,you know, with that group full speed.

(28:41):
So we'll probably use the ramp upperiod and maybe a few of those
days beyond to kind of gauge andsee exactly how he's working through that early
kind of participation. But the expectationswe should be able to get him rolling
here pretty good, you know.Somebody pointed out on Twitter after we had
KOC in last week to play initials, but I forget who it was.
On my apology, somebody pointed outwe should have asked him if he's ever

(29:03):
heard the KOC press conferences and whathe thought, and if he said no,
we should have played a piece ofone for him. Sometimes the listeners
are better producers. Yeah, arethat? I would have been a good
idea, great idea. Now.Of course, we're so used to him
because we see him every week downat TCO doing those press conferences with us
friends. We just forgot to bringit up because it's so normal for us.

(29:26):
Yeah, my guess is no,probably not probably, but you never
know, schedule, you know,you never know, you never know.
Right, here's an interesting one though. This is my favorite one that I
loaded in from KOC on the quarterbackdepth chart and his plan. Yeah,
I have no you know, preconceived, pre set depth chart in my

(29:47):
mind beyond I believe. I said, you know, at the end of
spring, Sam was, you know, the number one quarterback. You had
taken a lot of the reps andmost of the reps with the ones,
and and Sam had a great spring. JJ came in here after being drafted
and had a really productive spring aswell. So really my message to those
guys is I want a really competitivesituation. Yeah, that's what you'll see.

(30:10):
But I think, you know,odds are Sam Donald is going to
be the starting quarterback and opening dayagainst the Giants in New York. I
was watching I caught the end ofit just accidentally. The they have the
you know, the HBO special HardKnocks in preseason, and they showed the
Giants going through their process of eventuallydrafting elite neighbors, neighbors the wide receiver

(30:33):
and it's pretty, uh instructional aboutwhat really does go on behind the scenes
and the conversations that happened. Butyeah, that's I think Donald is definitely
going to be the guy. Imean, JJ is gonna have to wait
his turn. That's the way itshould be. I mean, it probably
will be unless McCarthy forces his hand. How are we going to know that
he's not going to play extensively inthe preseason, certainly not with the number

(30:56):
ones. I don't think you've seenhim throwing the football to Justin Jefferson once.
So how do you really know wherehe's at other than what the coaches
the value wait and practice and whenthey go to Cleveland for those seven and
seven drills, we don't interrupt me. Well that was me, okay.
I would argue the most interesting scenariofor JJ this year is if Donald's playing

(31:18):
well regardless of the Vikings record.Like let's say they're two and five,
but Donald's putting enough big numbers andhe's playing pretty solid, but behind the
scenes are like, JJ's ready.Does it matter what the record is?
If the kid is quote ready tobe put in and not benched, because
you don't want to do that,right, You don't want to do the
yo yo effect with a new kid? Correct? Do you wait until you're
ready to completely pass the torch?But what if that is Game three and

(31:44):
at TCO he's just slinging it andthey're like, we got nothing else?
To wait for he's ready and theVikes are zero to two or one and
one and or two and oh,but you're like, no offense, Sam,
you're playing fine, but the kid'sready. We got to go.
Yeah, I don't think that's goingto be two games in. But I
wonder what they're waiting for, youknow what I'm saying, Like, Yeah,
keeps starting about benchmarks and things thatthey're looking for. I wonder what

(32:05):
those are. Yeah, the onlyones that know, Yeah, that's that's
just they have to figure all thatout meetings and conversations and all the other
things and the routine he's going through. And how do you duplicate that without
having game situations. I don't know, Mark. Yeah, I mean I
can't speak obviously on the NFL,but when it comes to the NHL,
it's it's truly dependent on the player. It's I mean, you see the

(32:30):
confidence in the way he moves throughpractice, the way he makes passes.
Obviously hockey it works and translates prettywell to football in that regard. But
yeah, like that that's the thingis. Yeah, it is up to
the coaches and the gms to sitthere and be like, Okay, it's
it's he's ready now, but it'struly up to each person because you never

(32:51):
know the physical maturity side, themental maturity. When it all comes together
and you see it all at once, you know when it happens. You'll
know when you see it, whenyou when you see these kids go through.
That's one of my kind of favoriteparts to see, uh now,
with these young hockey players is watchingthem come into the league and then watching
that that moment where like the confidenceis like, oh, wait I I

(33:15):
I can do this. Like whenthe Matt Boldie came in and he was
pretty quick where he came in andit was just like, wait a minute,
I can play this game. Ican't finish brock Faber or even maybe
more of a Marco Rossi because wegot the you know he had. He
took a little bit more cooking,a little more time in the oven,
uh, you know than the rest. But yeah, I love to see
that, and it's truly you know, we can see it. I can

(33:37):
sit there and watch hockey players andyou're like, all right, he's ready.
He's made that step as a asa true professional. And yeah,
like I said, it's it's alwaysup to the player and Yeah, the
team obviously makes a big difference indeveloping and development and uh, you know
what position you're going to put himin when he when he starts his career.
You want to put him in aposition to succeed and certainly not to

(33:58):
fail. Well, Donald's got alot of the not just for this year,
but for his entire career because hecould he could capitalize on this and
and get another contract with another teamdown the road. So he's auditioning for
the rest of the league while he'scompeting at the highest level for the Vikings
because his career right now is onthe line after his so called failures with

(34:20):
you know, poorer teams, pooroffenses. But if he has a good
year, he's going to make moneydown the road and get another contract,
probably not with the Vikings, butwith someone else. We need to see
JJ McCarthy make strides in all thesepreseason games. That's all we need to
see. I think, no matterwhat happens, even if JJ has lights
out in preseason games, Darnold's goingto start Week one at least. We

(34:43):
just need to see him be good. If he's bad game after game,
that's not going to be a goodsign. We just needed to play well.
So if he plays well, that'sa good sign. If he plays
bad, it's a bad sign.You see, I appreciate it, but
no, you get it, Corey. But like he can't be the third
quarterback coming out of for Week one. JJ has to be the backup yea

(35:06):
and again well tenth overall and cannotbe the third quarterback. The fans will
be judging him based on playing,you know, with with reserves in the
preseason games. The coaching staff hasthe benefit unless you go out to Tco
to watch JJ throwing the ball toJJ and everybody else during practice in seven
and seven, when they duplicate gamesituations, and when they go to Cleveland,

(35:27):
as I said, and they havethose week, that week of practices
down there, there's probably more tolearn from that than there is the actual
game they play that that Saturday inCleveland. Yeah, that'll be big.
Yeah, just line them up fora wide and chuck it. Yeah,
I said week one, we gotnothing to lose this year, go for
just bomb it. Well, I'lltell you what. The Vikings nation was
surprised yesterday, except for Rosie.He told us it might happen off the

(35:52):
record, didn't let us talk aboutit. Thank you for that, Rosie.
The Daresol deal got done. Hestilled two years left on his rookie
contract, espe waiting because God knowshow much we have to pay him ifre
we wait that long. Right,let's take care of it now. Four
year, one hundred and twelve milliondollar contract for our tackle, very important,
seventy seven million dollars guaranteed. Sogood for him, ChRI, Yes,

(36:14):
good for him, Yeah, greatfor him? Yeah, my goodness,
that'll be fun. He's what youneed for a young quarterback and a
young team. You pay these guysand you have when you have a cheap
quarterback. That's how the Lions rebuilttheir team. Their offensive line started right
there and I think built around it. Are they all first round picks?
Pretty much? I think they are. Yeah. Who wants to have the
honor of going down to get TerryKaiser? Bring him up? Who wants

(36:37):
to do that? Do you wantto do it? I mean you got
it, Derek? Good luck,You're going to make someone here with him?
Oh yeah, er, Derek,Derek Shower, Sure, yeah right.
This is not quite Vikings news,but it's football. Did you see
the Rose Bowl now. Is notthat this is new because it sounds like
they've complained for a while. Butthe Rose Bull is trying to get out
of the college football playoffs semi finalrotation. They want back on one permanently,

(37:00):
even if it takes a mind likeshould be. I don't blame them.
I think it. Yeah right,it takes some of the the spotlight
away from it just being a playoffgame. I agree with. Yeah,
they won the Rose Parade. It'sa tradition, and then they have the
game just the way it should be. The game is going to be worse.
Well, maybe back to will traditionbecause by definition, if you don't

(37:22):
have a playoff game, you're pickingtwo teams outside of the top twelve.
Because the twelve team playoff starts thisseason, which is going to be sweet
because four is not enough. Itwould be nice if it was a bigger
number, so the bracket is biggerso we can gamble on it. But
it doesn't work. Twelve's is aimedin the right direction. It's cool in
the video game too. Man,it's cool, how you because that's the

(37:42):
year we're playing it. It's sweet. Excuse me? I think sixteen is
the perfect number because this way thereare buys, and I don't get the
tournaments with the buys. Let's gothis sixteen is the right number. Yeah,
and we'll probably get there at somepoint. Yeah. After I won
the national championship playing middle linebacker forIowa State, did you transfer? No,
I haven't started the second season yet. I don't know. I feel
like it was you know, Ineeded a little off season so I get

(38:05):
all fired up again. Yeah,but I would agree playing in the Peach
Bowl in the playoffs made it feela lot less like the Peach Bowl.
There was no little Peachy playing atthe like with my Michigan squad, I
played at the Rose Bowl. It'scool, man, it's a congratulations,
congratulations on your big win. Thankyou. I'm playing for another national championship

(38:27):
today. They always say in thebuilding, they always say, never meet
your heroes. I'm gonna trip meout to see a guy that I've watched
his movies I don't know fifty times. Yeah, maybe freaking love this movie,
Bernie Lomax, himself, Terry Kaiser. After this, I'm a fan.
