Speaker 1 (00:13):
All right, welcome back to the Power Too morning, Joe.
It's a Vikings victory Monday. The Vikings won yesterday twenty
one to seventeen over the Cleveland Browns. The Vikings are
up to three and two and they have the bye
week now Philadelphia in thirteen days and they lost yesterday.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
The Eagles did, so they need this by week.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Yes, yes, absolutely timed got a little lucky, perfectly timed.
Donovan Jackson expected back. Hopefully some of the other names
that are struggling right now are healthier in two weeks.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
We'll see.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Plus it gives Addison some free time. Well, the holy
hell is going on with that kid?

Speaker 2 (00:46):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
I mean, you already got bepended for three games, you
come back two weeks and you miss a walk.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
Through rookie year though he had the driving fast to Yeah,
and probably I think she got a slap on the
wrist or a fine.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:05):
He has not gone a season without an issue exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
And this is the part that John and I were
talking about this off air.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
But there's never been a time where you've been sequestered
as much as when you're in London with the back
to back international.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Games and you still screw it up. Yeah, guards, he
putted that out. How do you do that?

Speaker 4 (01:25):
And you look at the fact the Vikings won by
the way they won. Yes, they stole it, they came back,
they showed resilience, the offensive line was great, all these things,
And what are people talking about?

Speaker 2 (01:36):
What are his teammates being asked about after the game? Him?

Speaker 4 (01:40):
Justin Jefferson's at the podium after the game talking about
how he had to pull him aside and talk to
him and teach him. That is not justin Jefferson's job.
I don't want our potential future Hall of Fame wide
receiver to have to think about his teammate.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
It's insane, But that's that of leadership. But how telling
is that that Jets is like, you know, I guess
I got to put.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Him under my wing a little bit more. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
So one of the best the games ever seen and
we never worry about that with him.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Right, But reading between the lines on that one kind
of makes you seem like, well, maybe Jets has been
trying to keep himself a little separate from Addison.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, yeah, you don't need that trouble.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
Yeah, it's not at all. Yeah, it's insane. It's it's disappointing.
It's an unnecessary distraction for a team that is fighting
for its life at this point and now was facing
the murderer's row of teams down after.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
The bye week. Hell of a touchdown though, by the way,
hell of a touchdown. No one's denying how good the
kid is on the field.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Right yep, well said, all right, let's do the news.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
This news with Chris Hockey.

Speaker 5 (02:52):
Chris sent it by the twenty twenty six IIA Jeff
World Junior Championship.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
And for Chris Hockey, I'm Zach Calverson. That's right.

Speaker 5 (02:59):
The World Juniors coming to town this winter. It's sneaking
up on us. Put your tickets World Juniors m N
two six dot com. All right, we begin with a
flight from Minneapolis to New Newark on sun Country Friday morning,
which was diverted to Chicago because a man it's down

(03:21):
cut in custody following a disturbance on said flight. The
individual told on the plane told that it was said
that the start tribute said the man became unruly, screaming
about getting gang chased by the LGBTQ community. Gang chase, yes,
and that the plane was going down so they diverted

(03:42):
it to Chicago, and then he was handcuffed and taken off.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
So he was getting gang chased by the entire LGBTQ community.

Speaker 5 (03:50):
Yeah, it's a lot. We're all on the flight, the
entire community, just the ones that.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Were on the plane, I guess there.

Speaker 4 (03:59):
And they were chasing him. I wonder if that happens.
How funny you look back in there a few people
chasing him.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Sure, they was just completely right.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
Don't take mushrooms before you get on an airplane or whatever.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Hell yeah, whatever you're doing, Yeah, don't do that. Man.
It's because there's no TVs on there. Man. Yeah, man,
you had to togget.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah, then he had to rough talk. Download something on
your phone, you dummies, you know, chased. You gotta do
that just in case. Even if you're on a super
nice international flight and they obviously have built in entertainment,
you gotta download stuff just in case. Right, if your
screen goes out, what are you supposed to do?

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Read? Are you nuts?

Speaker 5 (04:39):
You're supposed to panic about getting gang chased by the
LGBTQ commune.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
I don't have time for that, right, download task? Oh

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Last night? Like, man, that's got to be the last episode.
There's two more. It's a ten out of ten out
of ten, it's the best.

Speaker 5 (05:07):

I've probably seen since like peak Ozark.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
It's that good. Oh my god, it's outstanding out. The
acting is all tremendous. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (05:20):
And as Corey said it, he normally I just either
tune him out or.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
I don't agree with him because he's mostly always right.

Speaker 5 (05:26):
When you watch the first episode and it's and you're like,
how can this be a long TV show? And then
it's spiderwebs, You're like, oh got it now, it's unbelieves
quick man, it's so great.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
I love it. Yeah, uh you know, I'll tell you what.

Speaker 5 (05:44):
I look at This story bystanders in Ealy rescue a
driver from a burning car. Witnesses said the cars struck
a rock and went airborne before rolling and starting on fire.
They were able to pull the driver out of the
car before it became fully and gone. Authorities say the
driver was brought to an Elie hospital before being flown
to one in Dilute. There was no one else in

(06:07):
the car, but uh yeah, props to those people for
saving that guy.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
I would like to think that I would be somebody
like that, would be like, you know, go and rush
to somebody's aid.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
But then again, there's another part of me, like you
hit the rock, are waiting. Christ was just thankful he
didn't fight alongside View and the yeah war if you will.

Guy burning alive the way home left. I was gonna

Ed and Tommy and they both looked like they were
in that like I don't know, three to five range
and they were brushing their teeth and I thought, I
bet you seven thousand dollars they shared a toothbrush, and

(09:21):
that is the origin story.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Yes, you are correct sir. They both were like, why
doesn't this gross us out? And the rest is history.

increase in scammers selling fake jewelry on the streets.

text I was a mess.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
I was so that is the most devastated I've ever
been in my life.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
But is there a better though? When it's raining out
and you're watching football? Probably, I mean, I can think
of a couple of things.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
Perhaps if my running back cross the bleeping goal line
with he's also I have him in a gear te
League two and that might cost me. So yeah, extra,
he's not on my Christmas card list, let's say.

the platform that the league provides. Clark reportedly makes over
sixty million dollars off the court, which Engelbert allegedly credits.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
The league's media rights deal.

Speaker 5 (12:51):

a pivotal moment for leadership. Other players, including so if

are demanding more accountability before collective bargaining talks.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
Yeah, it's time for a fan five on the Power Trip,
presented by All Around, your Timber Tech deck building contractor.

Speaker 5 (16:49):
Your Minnesota Vikings. We'll talk more about this in Vikings
News next segment. But they won twenty one seventeen, went
through a touchdown to Addison with like twenty five seconds
left in the game.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Your Vikings are now three and two.

Speaker 5 (17:03):
They battled the Eagles thirteen days from today.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
Gotta love going into the bye with the winning record.
I didn't know if anybody was going to say anything,
or I don't think anybody was. It felt like Grim
when he says one of his lines, and the music,
the music just just awkward.

Speaker 5 (17:24):
Speaking of Grim, the Gophers got run over forty two
to three by Ohio three.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
We had the lead three nothing yeah, yeah, and they
take that.

Speaker 5 (17:34):
A ball back after Ohio State, I think missed a
long field goal, man, but they lost forty two to three.
The Gophers basically went down on a knee after the
first drive. The Gophers are three and two. They will
battle the two and three Perdue boiler Makers on Saturday

(17:54):
at six thirty Pregium at four thirty. Your Gophers are
nine and a half point favorites. I watched that game
on Saturday. The first like drive, yeah, and they did well,
really well. And then what happened? No idea, I.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
Don't get it, Like, how does get it work?

Speaker 5 (18:13):
You played football sauce not very a couple of games
and then he got quick?

Speaker 2 (18:17):
Is that the classic scripted plays thing?

Speaker 5 (18:20):
No? But like Zacho said, they were like, yeah, showing
up that Ohio State defense. I think they had a
first and goal with the nine, and I think, if
I'm correct, Ohio State is then giving up either water
zero red zone touchdowns. But they kicked the field goal
and then they they stopped Ohio State.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
I think they missed it. I think Ohio State missed
a long field goal. And then I think that the
game changed when we went three and out after that, Yeah,
then Ohio State was like it's enough of this.

Speaker 5 (18:49):
And then they just poured it on and then Grim
just started destroying the officials on the ratio.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
He was pissed and Sauce was laughing. I was watching
on TV You by yourself. Yeah, Dovid is gallared left
by that time, so.

Speaker 5 (19:05):
Nobody, wait a minute, somebody dates dov Yeah, dear god.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
Yeah, exactly my words, exactly. You know, it's not like
a robot or like an like, it's an actual woman.
I've seen her in person, Yeah, while through herself on
that man grenade. I have a lot of questions for her.
That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said. Faygo everywhere man,

(19:36):

clown posse.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
Yep, they're great.

Speaker 5 (19:57):
They which again, which comedian did the bit about like
I think I saw it online, the bit about.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
You don't need to use the ward insane.

Speaker 5 (20:07):
Every clown posse by definition is insane, Yeah, but the
ward insane is.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
Just absolutely superfluous. I don't know who did that bit.
I stole that from somewhere but man, I wish I.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
Knew who did that. That's a phe bit.

Speaker 5 (20:19):
You know what comic this weekend? I fell in love
with go on Dan Soda. He's hilarious.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
He was on this show. Yeah, yeah, he's hilarious. He's
a very mocho man. Oh my god, have you heard
his macho man? I don't think so. It's out.

Speaker 5 (20:35):
He's like a huge wrestling nerd, and he has this
really good bit about like, you know, how he got gauged,
and how he it's tough to engauged, and how it's
tough to like tell his gal.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
Do you want to watch like summers? It's a whole
great bit. Isn't there a biopic coming out? He doesn't

that might be tough. I mean, well, he's not flying
from Iowa City to hear You don't know that. You

(21:14):
don't know what Dan Soder does.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Yeah, he's got that Bacho man money. Right. I saw
Kelsey Cook on Saturday. How was that fantastic? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (21:20):
She crushed it. Yeah, it was the first show or
the second show. Marnie was at the first show, I
was at the second day. Was she there with Musty?

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Were there? No Musty?

Speaker 5 (21:29):
Were there pictures of Marnie on the way saying do
not let this woman back in here because of the
Stoker fact?

Speaker 2 (21:37):
Right?

Speaker 1 (21:38):
I believe Kelsey's security team was made aware of her presence,
but she was still allowed to see the show.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
That was nice of Kelsey's security team. They had aniner though.
I got to show some mercy. She was fantastic. Yeah,
I had some work. I had to take care. Sorry,
maybe you want to yell at me. I would never
yell at you. When did I ever yell at you? No?

Speaker 5 (21:54):
You never have the Wild Battle of the Blue Zacho
in Saint Louis for their season opener his Thursday at
seven pm. You could hear that game right here on.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
The NHL opener of though Zachary tomorrow right, three games.
The season starts tomorrow night. Yeah, big night ESPN.

Speaker 5 (22:11):
You know'll just PLoP yourself in front of your television
and watch a triple header.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
That's like, that's like one and a half smoots. That's
fantastic math. That's very good. Is that right? Sure, let's go.
I'm so proud of myself. That was great. Starts at
four local time.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
By the way, you know, I thought your tweet was fantastic.
You basically did this on the group text as well.
But so the Power Troop Survivor ended in a seven
way tie, right because three of us lost with the
Rams on Thursday, three more lost with the Cardinals yesterday
in the most dramatic fashion of all time, one of
the worst bad beats of all time. And then Hawk,
because he didn't pay attention, picked the Ravens when ninety

(22:50):
seven percent of their team was on the injured list.
So anyway, so they got blown out by the text.
So that cost him about two grands. Yeah, so seven
of us all lost. This the Power Trip Survivor first
everone ends in a seven why tie. So it's seven
people splitting a pot of twenty four hundred, but we're

(23:10):
really splitting one thousand dollars, right, five losers.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
It's a thousand split seven ways.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
So somebody of course joked, well, now you have five people,
then mowing seven people, and how are we going to
do and Zach just basically tweeted and texted I got this, Yeah, like,
we're gonna let white Bear math over there tell everybody
how to do this. However, on text, he's like, I

(23:36):
think this is how we should do it, and he
was one hundred percent right.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
It was the easiest way to do it. He did
the math right, he had the plan.

Speaker 5 (23:42):
Correct, and I go if it was almost like he
So he sends the group text, here's my plan, here's
how we should do this.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Nobody responds, and.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
Then I don't know how long after I responded, I'm like,
Zach is correct, Let's do it exactly like this. And
then the second I said yes, I started getting bedmoned.
We're waiting for you, always like somebody's can somebody.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Zach's ideas correct? Yeah, you nailed It's that's exactly tech
sack and I go, where's Corey.

Speaker 5 (24:08):
No.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
As soon as soon as.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
I said, Zach's right, let's do it like that, and
then I started getting hit with the venmos and everybody
was like, we didn't trust that until Corey said, yes.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
I have a texted something. I'm waiting for somebody who's
smart to confirm figured out.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
So the easiest way is just's just like you said,
the five losers all venmo one person and then that
one person then pushes the the other six their portion.
It was a piece of Hey, if if hockey just
picks the Vikings, he cleans the whole pause crazy, right, yep,
or or anybody that wins, or if the Ravens had
their full slate of players, maybe they just win.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
But he picked it a week ago because.

Speaker 5 (24:45):
Your Wednesday, when you were talking about it all the
way last Wednesday.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
It was the Marti factor. He didn't want to forget
at all. So what he did is he went through
the entire season and just put teams in just in
case he forgot. But then he just forgot so that
he had a team pick. So he just put it
on autopilot autopilot and.

Speaker 5 (25:04):
Didn't realize that he had picked the Ravens this week,
and Lamar and everybody else was I could have picked
one of the teams that lost, like you guys, But
he also could have picked the Biking.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
And and I'm an example.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
I switched from Arizona to the Rams an hour before
the deadline on Thursday morning. So when I lost Thursday night,
I'm like, son of a bitch, the Cardinals are gonna
win by forty Why did I switch? So then to
watch them lose in the way that they lost, it
was like, well I would have lost either way. Fantastic.
It was outstanding.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
Man.

Speaker 5 (25:30):
There's like everybody's sole survivor deal all over the country, right,
just got obliterated yesterday.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
Yet and.

Speaker 5 (25:39):
The Cardinals yesterday, and the Circus Survivor, I mean the
Eagles lost the you know that was a closer game though,
I mean, like very hard to get through yesterday.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
Though.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
If you're in a survivor but we'll start again, we
could I'm in if everybody else is sack?

Speaker 2 (25:56):
What what's the anti that's two hundred American dollars yesterday?
Really a Canadian? I don't think we do that.

Speaker 5 (26:04):
No, probably a one hundred and forty eight. I don't know,
bear man, I'll tell you the Uh. It just did
hurt yesterday. I was, I was, I was freaking out.
So what was the payout? What was the what? What
did each of the winners one hundred and forty two dollars?
So three people had to fork the total over five
people I did.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Yeah, I lost. Yeah, but if the Cardinals, no, I
was not.

Speaker 5 (26:28):
If de Mercado just is an inch away from twenty
eight to six an inch away, they would have been done.
And then for them to just collapse like that. And
by the way, I was gonna say this earlier, Yeah,
I was talking about it.

Speaker 4 (26:41):
Dad.

Speaker 5 (26:42):
He brought up a good point, dem Arcott. If you
watch that run he gets the ball, there is wide
open space. There's ten other guys on that field that
worked their ass off to clear that path for him.
Did he just for him to go up there and
just to make it about him at the end, he saws.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Why do guys?

Speaker 5 (26:59):
I mean, are we at the point where coaches are
going to have to have touchdown scoring drills? We got
to quit calling at the end zone. We got to
call it the continue. I mean, that's just it's just
didn't sense.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
Yeah, that'll change it. Yeah, that'll that'll that'll do. Did
you see the price?

Speaker 3 (27:13):
He didn't do the like the classic thing though, where
you look at the jumble drawn to make sure because.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
He just had the one guy that was right behind him, right,
but he still.

Speaker 5 (27:20):
Would have made it if he just keeps running his
normal pace he's in before he drops the ball.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
He slowed up to this and started about the ten
he started slowing up, and then he really slowed up
those last five.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
But I just you know, you can do whatever you
want when you're halfway into the end zone. Yeah, yeah,
well how about that other type of.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Ball, like a hacky sack for an hour, do whatever
you want, just cross the line first, you dummy.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
The ball just gets kicked around, kicked around, and finally
the end zone.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
Yeah, the Titans jump on. Unbelievable. Yeah, they got so lucky.
My math, the math is not good to follow up
on that.

Speaker 5 (27:49):
So you got one, he's got So that's in addition
to the two hundred to put in or or so
your net lost six speeches. It's a two hundred dollars
buy in five people two hundred, so that goes into
a pot of a thousand one thousand divided by seven.
So nobody won money in this. No, of course, seven
of us seven hundred gotcha. So you just that's you

(28:11):
cleared that. That wasn't like you put.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
Cleared one hundred and four congradulations. Hide, I'm composed. Seven
of us went out in grade five.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Oh I got joking.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
It doesn't matter if it's a Thursday game or a
Sunday game or on Monday, and it's week all five
of us or all seven of us lost in week five.

Speaker 5 (28:26):
Yesterday, when Crystol was like, well the three of us,
I'm like, no, no, no, no. Crysol was drunk, and
he was he was fully so was pissed about. But
he was just pissed enough. And I'm like, because he
text me's like, it's fine, Zach.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
You know we we always still we didn't want as
much as we thought we were.

Speaker 5 (28:43):
I'm like, dude, and I get now it to make
a makes sense because he thought it was like it
gonna be eight hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yeah, you don't split three ways. It's not over yet, dude. No,
this sucks.

Speaker 5 (28:53):
Yeah, this was a you know, potential for twenty four hundred.
Now you're walking away with one hundred, but a reason
to do it again. Then again, I gotta have have
a day or two to saw. I don't get over
the pain. But you got the one forty two, right,
he sure did. Yeah, so you're just in another sixty.
I'm an inch away from either getting eight hundred potentially

(29:17):
in the future or what if you get that.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
Wow you are yeah the yeah, what are you knowing?
Your money away? Man? The Vegas, Vegas your way.

Speaker 5 (29:30):
The guy that dropped that ball might have saved the
Titans head coach job for at least one more week,
right because the thing get blown out like they were
about to. He's probably out his press conference heading into
that game last week.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
I don't know what.

Speaker 5 (29:46):
He was super pissed, but that was that was one
of the worst Uh that that I mean, he looked
so meek and meeg. It was one of the worst
press comes I've ever seen an NFL head coach have,
just in terms of like his confidence level.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
And it's a bad But meanwhile, was it Kim Ward?
That pressure was awesome? That kid's good man. The week before.

Speaker 5 (30:07):
He's just completely just oh man. Yeah, some great lines
in that one. That pass he had to set up
that field goal that was such a dime.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
Yeah, that was all right. Let's two Vikings news when
we come back.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
They won yesterday twenty one to seventeen against the Browns
with a pretty lengthy injury report, still makeshift offensive line
for most of the game, but they got it done
pretty impressive despite not looking great for about three quarters
or so, but that seems to be the Yeah, the
mL of the wins this year is yeah, figure it
out late. I mean, they blew out the Bengals, but

(30:38):
the other two wins have been struggles.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
But we got there. We got there at some point
life in the NFL anyway, everything's closed. Yeh, it's close.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
And Koc historically is unbelievably good in one score games.
What is it, something like twenty seven and eleven or
twenty eight and left something like that.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
Right second behind the Phillies head coach a little dicey
with that time out in there. But yeah, I still
don't understand that. It was a weird little uh string
at the see that he actually called for the time out.
God didn't seemed really mad about something. And then yeah,
I don't know, I'm not sure what he was mad.
He was like talking to about it. I didn't want that,

(31:17):
that's what you said. You went like this, Yeah, Vikings
News is next. This is the Power Trip on Joanna Fan.
It's time for Vikings News on the Power Trip presented
by Excesses.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
You know, we talked a lot about this twelve day
trip and that the fact that the Vikings were going
to Dublin and they were going to England. They were
the first team ever to play consecutive games in two
different foreign countries, right, because the Jags have played back
to back games in London in the past, but the
Vikings went to two separate countries. I can't wait to
hear what the Vikings feedback was pros and cons. No,

(31:56):
I don't know if they're going to tell the public,
but they're definitely at some point going to tell the NFL,
because I think a couple of them said, this is
kind of a guinea pig experiment for the NFL to
see can this work, how would this work, What would
need to change? There's got to be pros and cons, right,
the fact that they were both quote road games and
you get to turn both of them into neutral site games,
or in the London games scenario, probably almost more of

(32:21):
a home game for the Vikes because there's so many
Vikings fans in London.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Kind of said it was a fifty to fifty from
what I heard.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
Yeah, but then I heard you and Chris talking on
the broadcast, and Chris said he thought Naked Eye that
there were more more purple than brown but still yeah,
Jefferson said he thought it was a home game.

Speaker 5 (32:35):
Yeah, after that's what it looked like on TV. Crowdshot
had far more Vikings fans and Browns fans.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
And the Vikings got to England first, right like that.
Normally the home team in international games gets it there
a couple of days earlier because there's other different media
things and whatever home game responsibility. So the fact that
the Vikings had kind of the tip of the cap
and go like, hey, we're going to beat you, even
to England by whatever it was three days cause they
got there on Monday.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Did the Browns get there on Thursday? I think that
is what we said. Three day difference.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
I gotta think that's a huge advantage as well, get
adjusted the time change.

Speaker 5 (33:10):
Yeah, so it will be super like you said, Core,
because if they're like off the record or whatever however
they talked to it and they're like this was I
don't know if this is sustainable for like it was tough,
or if they're like, yeah, this is outstanding. I wonder
if they'll do it in other like European cities.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
Right Like koc even said, what two days before when
he's doing a presser and they asked him about.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
It, he goes two more sleeps.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
Yeah, I mean he can just tell in that statement
was like, I don't we don't really want to be
how that had to be.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
They have to be just like dying to get home.

Speaker 5 (33:43):
That's how he opened his like speech to them after
the game. He said zero sleeps and they all went nuts.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
Did how did Pellisero float it to us last Thursday?
Or was it or was it two thursdays ago? Where
he basically said, you send four teams to two cities
and then essentially two teams swap yep. Right, So it's
like that's kind of the idea of maybe how you
would do this in the future is four teams go
to Europe at the same time.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
They all stay over there for the two weeks.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
You obviously switch opponents for the second game, maybe switch sites,
but at least you're not flying all the way back
to the States.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
You just fly an hour or so to the other country.
That's a genius idea.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
You love the early games, but I wonder how Obviously
it's doing something for the NFL, but what are we
really getting out of this?

Speaker 2 (34:34):
You know, as far exposure.

Speaker 5 (34:37):
Exposure is one thing, but It's not like you're you know,
you're not going to move a team, but at some
point maybe maybe don't.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
Don't you think they're long long, long term.

Speaker 5 (34:47):
They're thinking if we can get four teams in Europe
and put them there, sell to Netflix for a billion
dollars the eight thirty time slot. To me, this is
also a long play to see because if that happens,
they got to have opponents, so everybody every other year
might have to go out there for two weeks and
you play you know, you play Barcelona and then you

(35:08):
play Berlin and then the other people in the division
will play London and whoever whatever.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
Probably put two teams in London maybe something like that,
and to see.

Speaker 5 (35:18):
I mean, I'm not saying this is going to happen
next year, even ten years from now, but I think
long term that that that's got to be what the
league's thinking. I think Tom's idea is more more closer
what we're going to see, especially in the near FIU
Cherry yeh hundred percent, that's the in between.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
But I think that, yeah, Corey, here's what we forget.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
And I think I try to bring this up as
often as possible, but we make it sound like going
to Europe is impossible. We're never gonna be able to
do at the time changing this and that. Do you
know how long the flight is from Boston to Los Angeles?

Speaker 2 (35:49):
About five.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
I'm going to say it's six forty five According to
AI on Google, it's approximately six hours and thirty minutes.

Speaker 5 (36:02):
So we make it so like man flying all the
way to Europe in this and there's time change. It's like, well,
what if you're the Patriots and you got to go
play the Chargers or the Rams or.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
What is it from Washington to London?

Speaker 5 (36:11):
But the problem, the problem is the teams that aren't
on the coast that it does turn into a nine
nine hour flight for sure, if you if you're the
if you're the Seattle Seahawks playing in yeah, Berlin, that's
an as.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
Stayed and they played Philly.

Speaker 5 (36:26):
Obviously they had dinner at the hotel Yes last night
and then they flew out to London overnight. They're probably
there maybe now. But that teams like that were I mean,
if you I guess, if you plan it out, it's
not as bad. But what was it?

Speaker 2 (36:40):
What was the flight that the Vikings just took a
little under nine yeah, a little under nine. Yeah, but
I think the time change is the bigger of course, Yeah,
no doubt. That's why it's it.

Speaker 5 (36:50):
That's why two weeks might make more sense, yes, correct
at a pop. Now the end of those two weeks,
those guys are going to be dying to get back here.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
Well, for god's sakes, think we talked about it when
the Gophers went and played what was it U c
l A. Yeah, that all week PJA was trying to
get them on a different sil cal cal cal thank you. Yeah,
they were trying to get them on a different schedule.
They were using those whatever weird mask goggles or whatever
the hell they would do.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
They do that all the time. But yeah, crazy. Uh.

Speaker 5 (37:15):
And and think about Penn State this week playing at
U c l A. That's a three time zone switch
that has to be close to a six hour flight,
if not longer, right, Yeah, and they and they.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
Lose a terrible U c l A team, terrible, yeah,
I think.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
And down the road though, let's say we do have
teams that are actually based out of London or whatever.

Speaker 5 (37:33):
I would think that there would be like free agents
that are like hell no, yeah, Well it's the Canada factor.
With some of these NHL guys, were there zero chance?
I'll like, I'm not going to get traded to Canada. Yeah, well,
I mean that that's just Canada. I mean, who wants
to go to Canada. I'm just kidding, Ron Swanson. The

(37:55):
worlds coming to town. We got to start start building that.
It starts December twenty six, but we'll have some others,
like preliminary step before then.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
It's gonna be a great week.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
What if we just stop flying all together and just
play these games in the metaverse?

Speaker 2 (38:12):
No, like at like State Farm Park. What was that bit?
iHeart I Heartland, I Heeartland?

Speaker 4 (38:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (38:20):
Off that still up and running? Oh it must be
by now. It must be an unstoppable force. I don't
I haven't checked in.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
That's where Ryan Seacrest lives, right coworker.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
Yeah, I was trying to email him a couple of
weeks ago to congratulate him on his second season A
Wheel of Fortune.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
He couldn't find his email in the did you lean director.

Speaker 5 (38:36):
Make Corey maybe you've talked about this side not on
topic at all, but Ryan Seacuert. Seacrest sounds so much
like Pat Sajack on that show. Have you noticed Wheel
of Fortune on Wheel of Fortune in what way? Well,
I come in the other room when it's on in
the other room, and I'm like, oh, they must be
running reruns.

Speaker 2 (38:53):
It sounds like Pat Sajack. I walk in and it's
it's secret. You gotta get your hearing check, man. I
must all right, maybe I'm I'm all along, all right, thank.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
You, Because not only is their voice different, like you
can the snark is completely different.

Speaker 2 (39:06):
But I'm not saying what they say. I'm saying that
I think their voice and their their tone is very,
very different. You could just tell Ryan's Ryan's exponentially nicer.
I don't think Pat Carre.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
Pat was pretty nice to but you could at the
gave the smirk when he thought somebody was an idiot.
He'd gives a smile and kind of look into the
camera like, you know what I want to say. But
I'm getting paid so much money to be nice. I'm
just gonna make this face. Move on, Zach yourhansa. I
have some bad news. Are you sitting down? What I

(39:42):
can see you You're sitting down, ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
What is that I heard?

Speaker 5 (39:46):
Land is not in Fortnite anymore. It's called pet Music Simulator.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
What what now? I Heardland is part of pet music Simulator?
Are you crying? He just joked up.

Speaker 5 (40:03):
You can create music, you can earn golden diamonds, and
you can go to the iHeart HQ tycoon.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
Would you just say he is he's legitimately shedding tears. Yeah,
and you can have fun with friends pet music simulator.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
Do you remember the time Zach went into the metaverse
to essentially troll iHeart to talk about how ridiculous this
plan was. He did a video was kind of sarcastic,
not even kind of sarcastic, essentially the entire video, and
somebody from corporate saw it was so pumped that he
did it. Was like giving Zach internal corporate props like.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
I got. Multiple people were like, fantastic job, high level,
high level, Like wow, this is what we need.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
We need more employees that are willing to get in
there and stream and show the whole world what we're doing.
They had zero sarcasm on their you know, their reference,
so they thought he just was killing it. Had no
idea he was mocking the entire project and company probably
got a pay raise for that too.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
Right, Oh, no bonus. No they weren't. It was a
high five. They had a very strong house. That is
basically a pay raise. You just need more time. Told
you it's Tuesday. I have a plan.

Speaker 5 (41:26):
It's Monday, man, Secret areas, Golden Rainbows.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
I remember I went to Iheartland in the metaverse once
and within thirty seconds I thought, I need to find
the nearest cliff and just go full on Lemmings and
just keep walking because I'm like this, if this is
where we're headed, it is.

Speaker 2 (41:47):
It's a lights out. But we moved on. We moved on.

Speaker 5 (41:53):
Yeah, sure, No State Farm Park is still there. Oh oh,
and it looks like I got it even a little
bit of an upgrade. Well that's fans, and then there's
the pets. Who's playing the festival this year?

Speaker 2 (42:06):
Yeah, Banana Guy looks like he's on stage right now.
Tommy's did man, this is Banana's.

Speaker 1 (42:16):
So Coachella got like, I don't know, Sabrina Carpenter or something,
and we got Banana Guy. Well you don't know, it's
the metaphorse. Yeah, anyway, Vikings Win Michael J. Mussman, we
can talk about that in a second during a van five. Yeah,
I mean Obviously Ben and Chris will have a lot

(42:36):
of insight into what they thought went right or wrong.
But man, from a coaching perspective, I can't wait until Pa,
whether it's on x's and o's or whatever, gets to
break down with the coach.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
What did he like? What did he not like?

Speaker 1 (42:47):
And again I'm not trying to throw any coach or
GM under the bus, but who knows how honest they
can be. But I would hope that they trickle that
back to the NFL and say here's why this is
never going to work again, or here's why this was unfair,
or here's why it was maybe more fare for us.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
It's all going to be well, yeah, but not supposed
to talk about it? Yeah, that's stop.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
What if we just talk about it in the metaverse
at the Pet Smart Park or whatever the hell it's
called now with Banana Man, yeah for sure.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
Oh God, I can't wait to see him.

Speaker 5 (43:18):
Should sign up for Fortnite or Roadblocks and get in
there and see what's banana Man?

Speaker 2 (43:26):
Remember we were going to be big on Facebook Live?
What was the other thing? Harris? And remember our YouTube channel?
Hey we are big on YouTube? Let me say hi?
Remember our podcast?

Speaker 4 (43:37):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (43:38):
Yeah, that was great break on us
