Alphaba on the tour, the Wicked tour and you have
to put the green makeup on every day?

terrible dad.

Speaker 7 (03:03):
Oh, Will Smith in the Pursuit of Happiness.

Speaker 1 (03:07):

kids alone, and you're the wife's freaking out.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
You don't even give a craft.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
That guy had an alternate family somewhere.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
Definitely, he's not Kevin's real dad.

Speaker 7 (03:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
Do you think do you think the mcallisters were his
primary family or that was the secondary family.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
Alternate family was the rest of his family. He had
so many kids.

Speaker 9 (03:57):
Whatever, you lose one fill out.

He might have been a bad dad, but he was protected.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Who else who are we talking about? What about the
Marty McFly's dad.

He's a pervert, Tom, he said his dad, Jesus hear
about his related.

Speaker 5 (04:39):
Biff kicks his ass. He's a pervert. I mean, that's
a bad choice.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
Dad, Save save the neighborhood. He ripped up that contract.

Speaker 6 (04:50):
But he also was kind of a pushover he was
afraid of the What about the dad and the Shining Mos?

Speaker 4 (04:56):
Dad was a good dad. He was supportive, he was
very supportive. He felt bad for Scott.

Speaker 5 (05:01):
That's not a bad one.

Speaker 8 (05:03):
What about how about this? I have an idea, I

Speaker 4 (05:13):
Just John to make him put again?

Speaker 8 (05:18):
What about the dad in Missus Stubtfire He goes to
very long lengths to see his family.

So cross dresses and lies to his kids.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
Okay, put it that way?

Speaker 5 (05:32):
Has there ever been a good.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
Dad in film? I like to guy. I like the
dad from Friday? What about the dad and Julia? The
Dad and Friday? Fay was like a fun guy. He's
stopping from committing murder.

Speaker 1 (05:45):

Speaker 2 (06:01):

Speaker 4 (06:01):

Speaker 5 (06:02):
Yeah, finding neo dad is a good one.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
But about Skywalker's dad.

Speaker 5 (06:07):
No, I already mentioned that.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
What about what about hold On? You know? He was
not he was not He was not. Is it a
different Friday?

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Am I not thinking about the guy all the time?

Speaker 4 (06:21):
What about royal and royal?

Speaker 5 (06:23):
It's a terrible I think we just realized there has
never been a good a good depiction of a good
father in the history of talked about field dreams of
the day.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
That might be the only one. Then, Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 8 (06:34):
Yeah, but that guy almost goes under financially to see
his dad again.

Speaker 4 (06:38):
Yeah, he said Forrest Gump. He's a good dad. He's
a wonderful dad.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Forced himself is a good day.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
Like he never.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
He never even frosts the word me on his chest
and start crying.

Speaker 6 (06:59):
Yeah, no, I think we nailed it. I think Teen
Wolf's the answer.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
Yeah, don Corleone, I think I.

Speaker 5 (07:04):
Think the only time it's ever been depicted a solid
father that supported his kids is Scott Howard's dad in
the eighty five classic Teen Wolves, Clark Griswold.

Speaker 4 (07:15):
Yeah, yeah, that's a good one.

Speaker 8 (07:18):
Is just like yeahs for his family lady at Macy's.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yeah yeah, but you know he's introducing his son to
pornography in the flesh, just like your dad did.

Speaker 9 (07:32):
Jesus and his dad before him.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
Oh, the dad and Christmas stories.

Speaker 4 (07:38):
You're right, so Jesus has a decent dad. Yeah, what
about the dad?

Speaker 8 (07:42):
And one of Hawk's favorite movies, That's My Boy with
Adam Sandler and Andy Samber.

Speaker 6 (07:46):
That siamons and just textan and said, what about Cosby
his ghost dad?

Speaker 4 (07:53):
Well, yeah, maybe his character was good. What you're talking
about real life?

Speaker 5 (07:57):
Sure you got to you got Separate the Man from
the Yard for sure.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
Have you seen a goofy movie? Movie? That's that's the
best one possible?

Speaker 1 (08:08):
That movie is that is such a wonderful film.

Speaker 5 (08:11):
Good, that's a heave cry, Like literally, she wants to.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Take a son on our road and his son's growing
up and and he loves them.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
And oh it's so good. Someone else also said Splinter,
Splinter's a pretty good dad. He's a rat. He'll turn
on you, but yeah.

Speaker 6 (08:30):
I don't know if biologically he's bothered the ninjaa.

Speaker 10 (08:33):

Speaker 8 (08:37):
Did somebody bring up Dwight your dad? Oh?

Speaker 1 (08:41):
How dare you?

Speaker 4 (08:42):
Hey? I owe you a few? What about the step
dad in sand Loot.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
I've seen a lot of step dads that aren't great
at it.

Speaker 7 (08:51):
Yeah, he's one of the better ones seen a lot
of good depictions of step mom.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah, you know what, step Mom of the Year.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
I've seen define every They got to avoid those dryers though. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (09:02):
Stepdads that don't know what's going on in the same
room there, and I'm seeing that that doesn't make bunch
of sense.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
It's Clark Griswold.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
I like goofy better.

Speaker 6 (09:14):
Well, okay, that's depressing. Any good role models in film
for fathers, Well, goofy.

Speaker 10 (09:22):
I'm sure there's somebody a dog and a rat is
the dad and my girl?

Speaker 4 (09:26):
Is he a good dad? I don't remember.

Speaker 5 (09:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
You know what's really sad is how terrible we are

it's like to play that big old stage. That's only
this is eleventh, that's nine days from today.

Speaker 4 (13:50):
Oh wow, that's gonna be sweet for you. Ben. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
One more thing. Do you remember Mike Marcott.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
Remember brilliant? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (14:02):
If I can remember all the way back in history.
I was just at his wedding. Yeah, a couple of
weeks ago.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Did you see what he's doing?

Speaker 4 (14:09):
What do you mean?

Speaker 1 (14:10):
So listen to this. I got an email from Hey Hawk.
Starting June sixteenth, former athletes from the world's biggest stages
will compete at the Meadows a Mystic Lake during the
Pro Tour Golf tournament John Elway, Jerome Bettis, Tony Romo
in a cast of thousands. How cool is that?

Speaker 4 (14:27):
Yeah, and your very own Adam Thelann's gonna be go
to play it too.

Speaker 10 (14:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
So, John Smoltz, have you never heard this, this tour
that they're doing. I'm sorry not so, John Smoltz. I
believe he was the one that created this league. It's
basically all professional athletes that are legit golfers and they're
creating their own league.

Speaker 4 (14:47):
And it's not for spectators.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
It's only for it's only to be viewed on stream and.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
And just like YouTube and stuff.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeah right, yeah, So the idea is to not to
create a safe space for all these high athletes celebrities
to legit go and compete for real money. There's real dollars,
there's real sponsors. They do tour around the country. They
chose the meadows at Mystic for this area for a tournament,
and it's it is just a regular golf event and

(15:16):
they just don't want to make it to be about
like fans going there for autographs, and they want guys
to feel like it's it's a legit competition and it's
not just a spectacle and it's a real thing that
they're actually doing. And I guess it's it's great golf.
It's highly competitive. I don't know how. I don't know
if they if at each stop they just pull local

(15:39):
celebrities just for the the the interest of it.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
Yeah, right for sure.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
But you know, I think we all know that Feeling
is not far away from being a kind of a
scratch golfer. So it's very likely that I don't know,
if Feeling plays well, he could just stay on this
tour and kind of do this thing as well.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
That's pretty cool, man. Yeah, it's a five hundred thousand
dollars per pay eighty players in the field, So I
don't know. But man, and again, just because of watching
him play football so much, I don't see Jerome Bettis
as being a golfer. Is he a great golfer?

Speaker 4 (16:13):
I don't know. I mean he must be competitive to
some level.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
And I don't Again, I don't have the entire entry list,
but I would think somebody like Johnny Randall. But didn't
you tell me he's a great golfer.

Speaker 4 (16:23):
He's really good. Yeah, he's a very good golfer. That's
pretty cool. Good idea, I think.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
I think Mystic has a few people, obviously some of
their high enders I think get to go watch, but
it might be like less than one hundred people on
the whole course. Yeah, they get to follow them around.
So yeah, you know, I don't know all the details.
You know, Mike's company, Golf publicly Relations, I guess is
handling all that stuff. But I supposed to just go
onto their website what's called the Prosy pro League or Yeah,

(16:54):
and I think that you can just watch the stream live.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
I am. I'm not obviously a big golf fan of
a game. I would rather watch that than like the
Masters or something like that.

Speaker 4 (17:03):
Well, that's that's probably gonna win you in the Yeah,
that might be.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
I mean, I would say probably for the golf that
that's coming up this next weekend or whatever, on whatever
tournament that.

Speaker 4 (17:12):
Is, you'd rather watch John SMOLTI drive.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
What do I care if somebody I've never heard of
can hit a golf golf far?

Speaker 2 (17:19):
So what you're not far away. I'm not far away
from you, Hawk. I would choose to watch the Masters
over these guys. But I think any other golf tournament,
I would rather watch these guys that I grew up
watching in any other sit sport.

Speaker 4 (17:31):
I'm already emotionally more.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Invested in those guys than I am some obscure golfer
that I've never heard of.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
Yeah, I would love to watch like John Elway just
bend his driver around a tree just because he's so
pissed off.

Speaker 4 (17:42):
Yeah. I can't wait driving golf carts.

Speaker 8 (17:45):
Yeah, I can't wait to watch Tom Glavin hit pitch shots.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
Oh, I'm so sorry that you're so cool. I just
think it's what your dad's doing that day.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
I think you're right, Hawk, I think this is going
to be great. You're gonna watch over again. Scheffler to
the back nine.

Speaker 5 (18:04):
No, I want to watch the bus and Todd moren
fits dude.

Speaker 9 (18:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
But if you go through the list, Like if you
go through the list of players, there's some, there's some.

Speaker 4 (18:14):
Like really Brett Hall, Madonna's names that are.

Speaker 6 (18:19):
Madonna, Yeah, Madonna, Yeah, Oh, she can hammer it.

Speaker 5 (18:23):
Josh Donaldson, big hitter in the Madonna Ryan, Yeah, Ryan's dad.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
Yeah, oh thanks.

Speaker 4 (18:29):
Cool, thank yeah, sports go ahead, just hit it.

Speaker 10 (18:35):
The Knicks were down twenty seven at halftime and as
many as twenty nine, but staged a record breaking comeback
to beat the Spurs one oh seven, one oh six
and an og and anobi tip with one point two
seconds left in the game to go up three one.

Speaker 8 (18:52):
Brunton had thirty six in the win. It's one of
the It's maybe the best finish in an NBA game.
It was outstanding. Game five Saturday at seven thirty. The Spurs, though,
are five and a half point favorites, down three games
to one.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
That's to the San Antonio Spurson.

Speaker 5 (19:11):
Hey, they're showing the replay right now on Sports Center.
You know, yeah, I play happen. I played basketball. I
played basketball growing up. I don't know if I've ever
known the answer to what I'm about to ask. They
show with a six point two seconds left is that
the who is this? Is that Josh Hart who's dribbling
the ball?

Speaker 4 (19:29):
There is that Alvarado?

Speaker 5 (19:31):
Who is that whoever had the ball?

Speaker 6 (19:34):
With six seconds to go for the Knicks, both feet
cross half court, but the ball doesn't, so both feet
are over ball. Doesn't cross half court, but then both
feet go back into the back court.

Speaker 5 (19:47):
Is that a half court violation? I think it's has
to go is the key? No idea because he is
all the way over, but like clearly both feet way
over the line, but the ball it's quite not. It's
he's still dribbling it.

Speaker 7 (20:02):
Yeah, because that's like the same thing if somebody dives
to go save the ball from crossing half court, Like
your body's all the way there, you know, but the
ball might not be.

Speaker 6 (20:10):
Because man, that's actually pretty amazing that the rest didn't
blow that whistle because in real time, I'm like, that's
a clear over and back.

Speaker 5 (20:17):
And then you see it in the highlights and the
ball never crosses half court.

Speaker 8 (20:22):
And on this play cord that you were talking about,
where Castle was wide open under the net, Yeah, Kat
barely tips it to get it rolling in a different direction.

Speaker 6 (20:31):
Yeah, Dylan Harper has a the inbound pass and if
you watch the final one point two seconds, if that
doesn't get tipped by Cat, that play's gonna work.

Speaker 5 (20:41):
And Castle probably dunked it for the wind. Yeah, and
it's it's then in a weird way, it's the most
unbelievable finish after a twenty nine point collapse.

Speaker 6 (20:51):
Yeah, but uh yeah, credit to Cat. He got a
finger on it and that changed everything because Castle was
wide open.

Speaker 4 (20:57):
I mean, think about wide open. It was a perfect play.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Think about though from the the inbounder and that play.
You're in a you're in a restricted, confined space and
you have in Cat's.

Speaker 5 (21:07):
How tall seven feet with his.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
Armspan going up is I mean he's nine nine feet tall.
That you've got to throw that ball with accuracy over
a nine foot wall. Basically, it seems like highly unlikely,
even I don't know.

Speaker 4 (21:22):
It's tough. It's tough man. That's a tough it's a
tough inbound play man.

Speaker 7 (21:26):
When how about og and Enobi being the inbounder to
Jalen Brunson on that play and having the wherewithal to
just get back in the play and then run and
go tip that in at the after the myth, I mean,
I think Mike Brown said it's the most iconic shot
in New York basketball history, and before that it probably
was the Patrick Ewing myth. So it's kind of you know,
some cosmic kids.

Speaker 6 (21:46):
Me and and Mike Brown mentioned Luck a couple of
times in his postgame press conference, And as awesome as
og and an Obie's tip is in terms of just
you know, like perfection and slow motion, that's pretty lucky.
It's not super easy running full speed to jump that
high and just gently tap it in. That's a lot
harder than people think.

Speaker 7 (22:07):
And over two spurs were right there in the direct
line of the ball and he jumps right over them.

Speaker 5 (22:13):
And as obvious as this is, if he misses that tip,
the clock runs out and the game's over, so he
has to tip that in or they're not going to win.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
Yeap, very lucky, unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
I think it's kind of refreshing too that a head
coach can admit that not just one time, but several times,
they just got lucky.

Speaker 6 (22:29):
He went out of his way to say, when you
come back from twenty nine down, by definition, you have
to have breaks go your way, like almost everything has
to go your way, and San Antonio has to implode.
And again, they just couldn't have played dumber basketball. But
even if they play like idiots, when you're up twenty nine,
you have to execute every opportunity you're given.

Speaker 5 (22:48):
And that's what the Knicks did.

Speaker 6 (22:49):
Basically the final seven or eight minutes for sure, but
they chipped away at the end of the third, got
it down to fifteen, stayed within striking distance, and then
again san Antonio just never settled in, never got comfortable again.

Speaker 4 (23:02):
What a collapse, what a train wreck. You put that
on san Antonio's coaching, right.

Speaker 5 (23:07):
I put it on the players too, But yeah, coaching's
got to fix something, like I mentioned earlier. But maybe
you heard me when I was when you were driving in.
I just can't believe that all five players from San
Antonio the whole way collectively.

Speaker 6 (23:19):
It wasn't just two or three were making mistakes. Nobody
was playing smart basketball. And it's so weird in team
sports where all five just the bottom falls out.

Speaker 5 (23:29):
It wasn't just man Deirin Fox made three or four
stupid plays.

Speaker 4 (23:32):
It was all five.

Speaker 6 (23:34):
And Wemby used the word greediness, and that's the only
way to describe how the Spurs played in the second half.

Speaker 4 (23:40):
They just were launching.

Speaker 6 (23:41):
Threes with twenty or twenty one seconds left on the
shot clock. When can you imagine how important it is
with eight minutes to go to waste twenty four seconds
and they were wasting like three often to rebound jack
up another three. It's dude, you have the ball, waste
twenty seconds, draw a foul, do anything anything what you're
doing right.

Speaker 7 (24:01):
That's probably insanity with when you just do the you know,
math ball and it's like, well, a three point shot
is the you know, it's the best shot that you
can take while you can you see how it builds
a twenty nine point lead, and then how it can
evaporate a twenty nine point lead when that's all you're doing.

Speaker 4 (24:17):
That was the only plan for the second half was
even if you're.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Jacking up three though, it's it's the idea of going
back to the term use the math ball of it
max so that if you're get a jack up a three, fine,
but do it with like three seconds left on the shund.

Speaker 7 (24:31):
Trying to everyone was trying to be a hero, and
that's just that's not how the Spurs specifically play basketball,
play their best basket.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
But how how maddening and fury if you're you have
how many opportunities for a time out? And how many
times did they gather as a team in the second
half with a coach is like, hey, you dumbasses, Hey,
get in here, what are you doing? Look at the clock,
look at the look at the score. Just play conservative basketball.
That's all we gotta do. Take smart sho Like you

(25:01):
would think if you say that one time, collectively, somebody
on that starting five would be like, yeah, you're right,
come on, guys, let's let's rain this in. We got
this game in the bag if we just kind of
play smart friend.

Speaker 7 (25:14):
And they also just went, I mean like ice cold.
But that's like, we haven't really seen it haunt them
too much throughout the playoffs. It was a narrative before
the playoffs about how youthful they are, but it was
it was obvious and apparent last night how inexperienced they
are in these big time situation.

Speaker 4 (25:32):
Ye well, it's good.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
Good thing I'm not a Spurs fan because that would
be can you That will haunt over?

Speaker 5 (25:39):
Yeah, haunt you forever. This is gonna haunt Wenby's entire career.

Speaker 7 (25:44):
I mean unless they make this comeback, this three to
one comeback, which doesn't seem like they are that.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
We would have right now. You don't want to talk
about collectiveness right now. If that was a Timberwolves, oh
my god, yeah.

Speaker 5 (26:00):
On Twitter, if that was the Wolves had to be
fair I'd probably would have been asleep, but yeah, I
would have stayed up for it.

Speaker 4 (26:06):
I'd be pissed.

Speaker 8 (26:07):
I would have gotten fired because I would have said
multiple swears.

Speaker 6 (26:10):
How about when Wenby missed two free throws right in
the final whatever minute or two. You're like, everything went wrong, everything,
and they played so dumb, Charles Barkley after the game.
So this is the dumbest basketball he's ever seen, and
this is simplicity.

Speaker 5 (26:25):
I was so frustrating, but awesome. If you're a next
fan vikings news in a second more with Ben Leeber
after this on the fan.

Speaker 3 (26:35):
From the one eight hundred, ask Gary, such.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
A disappointment, such a disappointment.

Speaker 4 (26:51):
You need some sleep? Man, You're such a disappointment. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (26:55):
Have you disappointed a lot of people this week?

Speaker 4 (26:58):
Yeah, my dad and all those that came before.

Speaker 5 (27:03):
I did like your I did like your tweet generation
you posted a picture of of Louis with his fake
lawnmower and the text exchange with your your dad saying
he's officially now mode more than you ever have.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
That's great.

Speaker 4 (27:15):
Yeah, that was a good line. Yeah is he wrong? No,
he's not wrong.

Speaker 8 (27:19):
All the Grammas thought it was a cute picture of
my dad took the opportunity to just hammer me for it.

Speaker 4 (27:24):
He's not wrong though, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (27:27):
Yeah, the kids got work ethic right for him.

Speaker 4 (27:29):
Yeah, he does them all. Yeah, he is. I'm not.

Speaker 5 (27:32):
I mean he's always louis less lazy than I am.
He's mowing concrete.

Speaker 8 (27:36):
I don't think he understands what the lawnmower does yet,
but he will plays you're a kid.

Speaker 4 (27:45):
If he liked me, I hope, I hope he's smart.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
He is, so are you am?

Speaker 8 (27:53):
I Yeah, it's been a weird show.

Speaker 4 (27:59):
Yeah, I can't go in there during the break.

Speaker 8 (28:02):
Why not this smells too bad? Or what has had
like an hour of sleep? You see some weird things.
I'm supporting. Facts, brother, the facts.

Speaker 4 (28:12):
Brother. It's time for VI on the Power Trip.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
First of all, thank you Radco. We love you.

Speaker 4 (28:22):
Ben.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
Yeah, yesterday we were talking about the controversy of splitting
reps when you're a brand new quarterback and Kyler Murray
you said it. You know, it's tough, man. I I'm
used to getting all the reps. If I'm the starter,
I should get all the reps, and it's tough getting
half the reps. You know, every rep I don't get
is the rep somebodlse is getting. What do you think
of that? Does that bother you at all? Do you
think it's much ado about nothing?

Speaker 4 (28:41):
What do you think?

Speaker 2 (28:42):
No, I think it's a great right. It's I like
where these both these quarterbacks are at. I mean, I'm
just saying from a media standpoint, sure there's some stuff.
I'm I'm guessing that vikings pr is like, you know,
do you have to say it like that or you
have to say I like the little breaths of honesty
and candidness from both of them, And it's like when

(29:06):
JJ gives a really good, just sort of company line,
mature answer, and then you have Kyler that's like, yeah, man,
this is hard, this is tough, and I think that's real.
I mean you go back and kind of look at
his career arc and you know, transfers out of a
and M to go to Oklahoma, and then he sits
behind Baker Mayfield, not a real competition there because it

(29:29):
was it was Bake's job. And then he goes off
and wins a Heisman and then gets drafted by Arizona
and then you know, offensive Rookie of the Year and
you know, we kind of know that career arc and
there wasn't really a lot of competition, and so he's
just kind of going back like, yeah, in every kind
of in every stop that he's been, he's never had

(29:50):
to split reps fifty to fifty all the while.

Speaker 4 (29:53):
Learning a new offense.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
And so this is an opportunity where it sounds like
it's it's more of.

Speaker 4 (29:59):
A true competition.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
And then maybe we really thought and if he's got
to go out there and learn an offense and then
take mental reps, I mean for Kyler Murray to sit
back and have to take mental reps for a long
extended period of time and then go out and watch
his competitor be efficient and have it sounds like statistically
a better day than him. It's got to be hard

(30:20):
to handle, you know. So I kind of like the
fact that he's letting us in. Both the quarterbacks are
letting us in a little bit on how their psyche
is right now.

Speaker 4 (30:30):
I agree.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
I think it's great.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
Yeah, and I don't, And I don't think it's The
thing is like, I don't think it's controversial, you know.
I think it's just, Hey, this is where we are mentally,
and this is why this is a little difficult, and
it's it's a hurdle that I've got to go over,
and it's something that's new for me, and Hey, that's
the spirit of competition. I don't think it's dividing anything
in the locker room. I don't think it's making anything

(30:52):
any more tense than it is already in the quarterback room.
It just is one of those phrase things of like,
it is what it is, so they both have to
deal with it. And I think that's the spirit of
where we're at is it's going to bring the best
out of both of them. You know, it's going to
challenge them both in ways they've never been challenged before.
And I think it's just going to make both of
them better.

Speaker 4 (31:13):
Amen, all right, good?

Speaker 2 (31:14):
And also with you and also with you, and the
great the great thing is we all get to see
it for our own entertainment.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
Yeah, man, I love it.

Speaker 4 (31:22):
Sauce.

Speaker 5 (31:22):
You think they're still trading JJ or are you off
of that bandwagon?

Speaker 4 (31:26):
No? I stand by it. What's a funny hawk? Stop? Please?

Speaker 8 (31:33):
Anyway you were going to say something, I don't really
want to say anything because I get ripped when I speak.

Speaker 4 (31:44):
Oh No, I want you to say something.

Speaker 6 (31:46):
Hey, can we all agree to let Sauce have an
opinion and not criticize both the way that he says it,
the length of the sentence, maybe the order of the words,
the use grammatically, maybe of the words, whether correct during correct.

Speaker 5 (32:00):
Can we just let him say whatever he says and
just I got this? Everybody cool with that? Max Year
obviously you're back in your boy right.

Speaker 4 (32:09):
After the captain hook thing. Okay, I got the best
sign the paperwork.

Speaker 5 (32:16):
Thanks Max, Zach you cool with this. We just let
him have his take.

Speaker 4 (32:18):
I will agree.

Speaker 6 (32:19):
Okay, then, yes, Sauce, we're gonna let you have you
have a take on J. J. McCarthy getting traded or
not getting traded, and we're gonna let you say it.

Speaker 4 (32:28):
Are you ready? Are you ready?

Speaker 5 (32:35):
Yeah? Okay, here we go.

Speaker 6 (32:37):
No one's gonna step on it. No one's going to
criticize you. You're just going to say your take.

Speaker 8 (32:48):
Whoever loses the quarterback competition and isn't named the number
one quarterback will be traded.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
So can I have a follow up to that? Yes,
that's that's going to be critical. That's in the contract. Right, sure,
there's fallow. I'm not criticizing, I just want to ask
the next question. So, just to clarify what you're saying
is if JJ McCarthy wins this number one spot, that
Kyler Murray will be traded.

Speaker 8 (33:21):
Well, I wasn't going to be criticized, so I said it. Yeah,
I think so, I'm telling you here's my I'm still
I want to go for protection. I think Carson Wentz
is the backup quarterback. Right So, if let's say JJ
McCarthy wins the battle, is all of a sudden, Carson

(33:41):
Wentz the third string quarterback because it's Kyler Murray. Does
Carson Wentz being the backup change depending on who's the starter.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
See, I'm not sold that Carson Wentz would be is
locked into be the backup. I think that in a
given scenario, In any given scenario, if we win to
the season and we didn't have Kyler or we didn't
have JJ, I think everybody would be happy with Carson
being the number two. Given the current situation right now,
I don't think at all but guarantees that Carson is

(34:12):
the number two quarterback. Because let's just say that we
had we keep having days like we had yesterday where
Kyler goes out and throws a couple of interceptions in
seven on seven, and you know, if you're Todd Monkin,
that's unacceptable.

Speaker 4 (34:24):
Obviously we don't have.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
Toddmunkin as a head coach, but no quarterback should ever
throw an interception in seven on seven, according to Todd
Monkin in Cleveland.

Speaker 4 (34:31):
Okay, So.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
That was like, that was a big news story when
ots first started with that. They threw some interceptions in
seven on seven, and he's like, no quarterback should ever
throw an interception in seven on seven? Is it is
a a drill designed for the offense. Okay, So my
point is, in a very controlled environment, Kyler goes out
and throws two interceptions in seven on seven. Conversely, it
sounds like McCarthy has a day where he has one

(34:56):
incompletion along with a bunch of other great throws, especially
down the field on the right sideline or something like that. Right, So,
if we keep it having these yo yo days where
one's up and one's down, and this battle is truly
a competition back and forth and they're both progressing around
the same metric, well you gotta think through that process,

(35:18):
one of them's gonna be better than Carson Wentz. So
if both quarterbacks are known to be injury prone, I
don't know if we go into a game in a
week five and Kyler gets hurt and McCarthy is number
three quarterback.

Speaker 4 (35:37):
Like, would you be happy with that or would you
be like, hey.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
Man, this is the opportunity that we've been talking about, Like,
this is what we knew. One of these quarterbacks was
going to get injured. So this is the opportunity for
the other guy to step up and see how they perform.
So I'm not sold that Carson Wentz, even though I
really like him and I really like him in this offense,
is the lock for the number two quarterback going into
the season.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
Mm hm fair, Yeah, that's a very good Yeah.

Speaker 5 (36:06):
Yeah, we're all on the same page for sure.

Speaker 4 (36:09):
See you can say something, are we.

Speaker 5 (36:13):
Sure?

Speaker 4 (36:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (36:16):
So you did a great job.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
Lashawan McCoy doesn't seem to like Kyler Murray.

Speaker 4 (36:21):
Oh no.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
The former star NFL running back now hosts a popular podcast,
and he ripped the Vikings quarterback apart on Tuesday, calling
him cocky and arrogant and unreliable. It happened on the
Speakeasy Podcast, which is not what I thought it was
going to be about, which has two point six million
YouTube subscribers and is hosted by content creator Kieran Hickey. Simple,

(36:44):
isn't that right?

Speaker 5 (36:44):
No?

Speaker 4 (36:45):
Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, that sounds like a Luke
Bryant song.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
It should be noted off the jump that part of
the premise for their Murray discussion was completely false. They
introduced the segment by reading stats from Tuesday's mini camp practice,
which were outlandously wrong and very blatantly made up for
engagement by a satire account on x Yeah.

Speaker 4 (37:07):
It's an NFC North News fo. Yeah, he said.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
I love a super confident, arrogant player. That's good, he said,
But you know what I hate. I hate a super cocky,
arrogon player that's not that good, that's a little above average,
and that is Kyler Murray.

Speaker 5 (37:23):
Okay, so they're friends.

Speaker 4 (37:27):
Well, I will say I'll say this.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
I think, whether he's correct in his assessment or not,
I think, even if he's accurate in thinking that Kyler
is a slightly above average quarterback, well slightly above average
quarterback on this particular team, this is a playoff team,
you know, Like, I'm not saying that we I don't
think that we are necessarily looking for a top five

(37:51):
quarterback statistically to lead this team. We're looking for it,
just a competent quarterback, better quarterback, and consistent player than
we had last year won.

Speaker 4 (38:00):
Nine games with horrible quarterback play.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
We have good coaching, we have great athletes, we have
guys locked into skill positions. We have a defense that's
gonna take your head off every given snap. Like, we're
not looking for a top five quarterback, it'd be nice
to have it. I'm not saying that we're not on
the hunt for one, but I don't think that we
have to have one to be a competitive football team
and get to the playoffs and make some noise.

Speaker 1 (38:25):
There you go, anything else on Vikings News, gentlemen, No, No,
I'm excited. I think I'm gonna go down today. Ben,
let's go down together and watch this.

Speaker 4 (38:34):
I wish could have Twin Cities live.

Speaker 5 (38:41):
Before.

Speaker 4 (38:42):
Yeah. I can't wait before. Yeah, I'll be down there
when the pads are on. It really matters.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
Feel Okay, thank you, well done.
