That's not a good sixty five, not a good excuse.
It's your grandpa.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
Anyway, he wasn't sure if his grandpa's name was Lewis
or Steve, and then he thought, no, it's Steve.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
And then he thought, well, no, wait, maybe it's Lewis,
but his nickname was Stephen. We're like, what is happening?

Speaker 4 (04:04):
His lovely wife, Kelly on Twitter posted a screenshot of
an exchange that looks like she had with your mom,
because this is your mom, this is daughter. Yes, uh
so your mom was asked, oh, yeah, that's the same thing.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
What is your dad's full name?

Speaker 4 (04:24):
Paul's not quite sure, and now we have the entire story.
How could he maybe get Lewis and Steve confused? How
could a guy with the first name Lewis have the
nickname Steve his full name Lewis Stevenson Bricker. Yeah, and
your wife says he was about two thirds correct.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
So what's your name?

Speaker 4 (04:47):
Louis Lewis Stephenson Bricker. But it was but Louis was
not named after him. I mean, yeah, in a way,
but Lewis and Louie are two different things.

Speaker 6 (04:57):
The words.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
So you you partially named your son after him, but
wasn't sure what his name was.

Speaker 7 (05:05):

know if it was his middle name or his first name.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Not worth looking call you name your son, No, but
like they called him Steve. They called him Steve, and
he loved sardines. We learned that yesterday. Ye yeah, that
man's breath.

Speaker 3 (05:27):

Speaker 8 (05:30):

Speaker 5 (06:02):
We know is Steve Stephen and his name not only.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
Is I like to laugh at other people.

Speaker 5 (06:16):
You're saying his nickname is t Bone to the point
where I had no idea his name was Steve. All
I knew him was t Bone. I mean, obviously I
knew his birth name wasn't t Bone, but because his
siblings by siblings when he was young, couldn't say Stephen

(06:38):
and sound like t bone t Bone, So he's t Bone.
And his wife, of course, is Spinda, so it's t
Bone and spind us.

Speaker 2 (06:48):

Speaker 3 (06:49):

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Depends on her obstacles.

Speaker 5 (07:00):
His name is Linda.

Speaker 7 (07:02):
Oh, so we called her Spinda.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
It's like, it's like the Beezer story.

Speaker 7 (07:11):
I didn't know what his real name was until like
two years after I met him, because everybody called him
the Beezer just like that. It's just like that is name,
John King, like the guy on CNN who points at maps.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
That's a terrible name.

Speaker 5 (07:25):
Beezer is a far more interesting name.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
He might be dead, but I still like the Beezer.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Who might be.

Speaker 5 (07:33):
Dead, John Kings.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
I've been talked to it a lot, So everybody that
you haven't talked about might be dead. For a child,

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Old junior weird.

Speaker 5 (09:17):
Did any of you guys who have children consider if
you had male children Corey naming your child your name?

Speaker 4 (09:27):
Well, I'm an egomaniac. I thought about naming my daughter
after me. You could do Corey.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
It is an ambiguous name. There was a Corey in
the real world, remember her. I think that was San Francisco.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
If I get some people knocked up, I got some
good names lined up.

Speaker 7 (09:42):
Please tell God go for it.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
Stephen John Lambert Bricker.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
That's just the first name you've thought of this.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Mister Bricker was our shop class. I've talked about him before.
And mister Bricker my senior year, I had to take
shop class, which everybody else in class was a freshman.
I was the only so. He had just been through
the worst divorce this side of the Coyote Mountains, right.
He would go out and during class he'd get the
kids started. He and I would go out back and

(10:20):
he would just talk to me and smoke cigarettes. The
freshmen were in class making something out of metal, and
he and I were out back behind the shop class.
He's just pounding line darts, telling me about his woes.

Speaker 4 (10:37):
We don't remember that one teachers. Next time Zach does that, read,
just shout out to mister Brooker for his cigarettes and
his conversations.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Mister Bricker, no chance, he's still alive.

Speaker 7 (10:49):
How sad it was when you would stay home, it'd
be so sad.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
You're the only guy I can talk to long.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
Darts in front of.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
If we can rewind about three minutes, Zach said, Cechia?

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Right, Yeah, when did when did Czech Republic stop being
a thing? When the Iron curtain fell? That when they
changed the name. That was when it was from Czechoslovakia
to Czech Republic.

Speaker 4 (11:15):
So when did when did the Czech Republic turn into Czechia?

Speaker 3 (11:19):
Czech? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (11:19):
How do you even say it?

Speaker 3 (11:20):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
I don't know how to say it.

Speaker 4 (11:22):
I always thought it was progue like Czech Republic, chech
Nia Czech check.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, this is Czech Yeah, chech chech is different. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
Yeah, they're very particular, I guess about that. So this
is Czechia Czech yah.

Speaker 5 (11:38):
Yeah, Czech Lewis and Louis check different.

Speaker 8 (11:42):
Slovakia became a thing in nineteen ninety three. Mm, so
that's when they like split Czechoslovakia.

Speaker 4 (11:47):
So then Czechia and Slovakia have been separate since ninety three.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
You know where, because he will never go.

Speaker 8 (12:02):
Show.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Yeah, they'll go to Slovakia. Just wait a minute, who's
paying for it?

Speaker 3 (12:08):
Just pay for the pretty business?

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Would schedule's pretty full? Man?

Speaker 3 (12:14):
Man, Prague looks awesome.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
It does. Prague is awesome. That's what everybody says. Everybody
says that.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (12:19):
So again, as I would have said, like, hey, should
we go to the Czech Republic? And I would have
been wrong. It's not even a thing.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
A lottery players have one more shot at the massive
powerball jackpot before Thanksgiving. There's no Grand Pi's prize winner
on Monday night, so the jackpot jumps to six eighty one.
The next drawing on Wednesday night, cash option works out
about three fifteen.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
What's the other one at? Is the other one over
a billion?

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Now it doesn't say in this story, so I don't
if somebody wonder or what. I have no idea because
I don't remember us doing the story. This is the
power ball, so the mega millions, I don't know if
somebody look it up.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
Somebody must have because it's that seventy million.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Man must have missed that. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Nine and eighty million dollars winter in one in noonan Georgia.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Noon in Georgia. Nine hundred and eighty million dollars too much, God,
that would be great, Pretty cool. That'd be pretty cool.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
I would eat so much.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
I'd be picking up all the checkia is all over
the country. If I had nine hundred and eighty million,
I'd be going to check. Yeah, you'd be long gone.
Oh well, after I do the bonus plan of not
letting anybody know that I have it, and then just
gaslighting you guys for the rest of my life.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Gotta be the best.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
The average cost of a Thanksgiving turkey is higher this
year than last year. That's according to the financial website
finance booze.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
It's like a dollar nour finance what Booze.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Costs of the turkeys are more than eleven percent higher
than last year, just over thirty four dollars for a
fifteen pound bird. I like turkey a lot, man.

Speaker 5 (13:56):
I was just gonna ask that. It's kind of it's
the state, right, It's a symbol of Thanksgiving, but it
doesn't always taste.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
You gotta be particularly good at it.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
Yeah, I gotta just cover it. And all the other
fish smothered and gravy.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Yeah, yeah, man, Corey turkey ever not since I was
like eight and I hated it. You know what would
be cool is just I think, uh, maybe we just
get turkey breast. Can you just buy like a big
old hunk of turkey breast?

Speaker 3 (14:23):
Yeah? The obstacles. Yeah, and that's the title of the podcast.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Well said, I think maybe we had to start cooking
the whole turkey because I ain't know by going no
it is.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
It is weird.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
We had this happen in my house.

Speaker 4 (14:38):
Once you once you rip the band aid off and
say like, hey, let's just do something non turkey this year,
it's so much easier than in subsequent years.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
That's why were we so stuck on tury. We can
do whatever we want. We've got to rip the band
aid once and then it's real easy to move on.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
You can do it.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
We did it.

Speaker 5 (14:53):
We did it last year. We did all the sides.
I mean we it was just the four of us
for the first time ever, and we agree eat on
the four or five sides or whatever, and then we
voted on the meat and turkey was an option. Ham
was an option, and uh, filet from Costco was the
landslide winner.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
What it must he want?

Speaker 4 (15:12):
But I'm saying go even more extreme than even the severs,
like completely go off the grid.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
Mohammed said that to Thanksgiving table, did he get what
he wanted? Forget You're on camera.

Speaker 4 (15:35):
Was covered and oh my god, come on ge never mind,
just go back to Turkey.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
What do you guys do?

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Corlos?

Speaker 4 (15:48):
But like, I don't know, she's done like seafood and
stuff in the past, even like just completely That's what
I'm saying, Martes, forget the side, just do like tacos
and jelly beans.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
Just go like she said. Yeah a, Rosie screamed.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
Rosie finally picked up the check. I'll be paying for
these tacos.

Speaker 10 (16:15):
Thank you.

Speaker 5 (16:15):
So you're saying more like, have a spaghetti dinner.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
Just go way off.

Speaker 7 (16:20):
The meat.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
You could keep the pizza yish exactly. Yea, do what
you want just to get together.

Speaker 5 (16:29):
Probably make a great memory. Remember that I can't Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
When yeah, I like it.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
That's something I can't wait because my mommy and daddy
got here last night. Abil is coming home.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
Today's can be good about just a pile of waffles
for Thanksgiving? You don't need to have any meat? Sure, yeah, man, done?
So howk are you cooking? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Look at you that well technically I mean all of
us will, but yeah, all right, you know I'm gonna
take my power Ball jack Boy winnings and go buy
a Turkey's what you're gonna do with your money?

Speaker 2 (17:02):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
I'm gonna go be friends with Mark rosen Goby not
true at all. He hates you.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
And if you're thinking about eating at the airport, you're okay.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
The MSP International Airport food and hospitality workers avoided to
strike before Thanksgiving, so good for them, so you can
eat on when you're traveling.

Speaker 4 (17:21):
All right, So somebody helped me out because I'm a
p one of Twin Cities Live last what was it? Thursday?
Ben and Elizabeth broadcast from MSP and the other side
of the security. They were like, in the whatever kind
of cool that is? I didn't think poles, Yeah that
was kind of cool anyway. Then they said that there
is a movie theater at MSP. What like a hidden

(17:43):
movie theater? Is it for like long layoffs? You can
go watch a movie?

Speaker 9 (17:46):
Right?

Speaker 4 (17:46):
And I'm like, wait a minute, what the hell are
they talking about? I guess there's a movie theater somewhere
at MSP what what like an.

Speaker 5 (17:54):
Old one that's shut down or currently showing may I
don't know.

Speaker 4 (17:58):
I didn't stick. I didn't want the whole show. I
didn't see if they ever showed us what it looked like.
But I guess there's some kind of a theater that's
like a secret hidden theater eighteen.

Speaker 11 (18:07):
It's next to Gate C eighteen mm hmm, and it
showcases a variety of films, short films, documentaries, music videos
by Minnesota filmmakers.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
But is it like you buy tickets or is it
just you can walk in there and kill.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
Time out in the open. Actually, okay, there's some seats
like there's a win. It's not even dark in there.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yes, okay, that's a little bit different. I thought it
was like truly okay free and you can just walk in.

Speaker 4 (18:33):
I thought it was, Hey, if you have a six
hour layover, if you want to go see the Avengers,
buy a ticket and walk in. That would be next level, right,
buying actual movie tickets because you have a layover.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
That significance crazy, that's an interesting thing.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
I can't believe I didn't know that. So you learned
something watching Twin Cities Live. You know what I mean? Yeah, man,
there's a Rosie joke in there somewhere.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
By the way, Elizabeth did text me yesterday and said
that she did not name She did not name Heathcliff
after both Doctor Huxtable or or the cat.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
So it's not Cosby related or cat related. They just
like the name.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
That's a coolner.

Speaker 4 (19:08):
We were really crossing our fingers that it was not
named after the case cause.

Speaker 2 (19:16):

Speaker 3 (21:40):
There you go?

Speaker 2 (21:41):
Is that what we're gonna learn about the players that
are posted from Japan? Bonus?

Speaker 12 (21:45):
So we're going to learn more about them at the
winter meeting. I mean, you'll learn about everybody at everybody
at the Winter meetings. I mean it's also you know,
when the agents gather, so that's another group that you
can talk to a lot, you know, if somebody wants
to pump up their players, et cetera. So I am
I'm just going there to keep my head on a
swivel and see what we can find for the various sites.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Is Wabble gonna be there Miami?

Speaker 3 (22:15):
I don't think.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Okay, sometimes I don't have time to wait for the truth.
It comes backline.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Anyway, Sports time with that guy what's that guy's name?

Speaker 2 (22:30):
Yeah, you want to do sports? I'd love to.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
It's time for a fan five on the Power Trip,
presented by All Around your Timber Tech deck building contractor.

Speaker 7 (22:41):
We will talk more about this in the next segment,
but the Vikings battle the Seahawks on Sunday at three
oh five pregame at one, the Vikings have put J. J.
McCarthy in the concussion protocol. We'll find out more tomorrow
when the first injury report comes out. The Seahawks are
now ten and a half point favorite. Wait until they

(23:01):
get a lot of Max Brosimer on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
I can't wait. Look, let's have some fun. Do you
like sazzy ten and a half?

Speaker 3 (23:10):
I would take the Seahawks.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
No, not ten and a half?

Speaker 9 (23:14):
Really?

Speaker 4 (23:14):
Yeah, Core, I'm done sports betting. Oh great, I've just
done giving you money. I'll do it perfect. Hondy, hondy,
hondy it this. I get the bikes, you give me
ten and a half. Yes, first time you ever done that.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
That's true. So yeah, so your turn Still.

Speaker 7 (23:42):
Twelve ended with the Niners reading of Week twelve, the
Niners beating the Panthers twenty to nine.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
Brack Party through three picks.

Speaker 8 (23:53):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
The Niners are eight and four, the Panthers are six
and six.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
Year for the Niners, they're kind of flying under the
radar because they've been.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
Up and down and they've had Mac Jones in there
a bunch. So they're just eight and four. No one's
talking about and no one thinks they're going to do anything.
But they're just flying under the radar. We'll see what
happens with them. Would you want Mac Jones on this
team next year? Yeah you would? Yeah, hmmm. I doubt
he's gonna stay in San Francisco. He's going to go somewhere.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
Maybe we've got a better and cheaper Max already on
the rest.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
Now we do.

Speaker 3 (24:30):
Yeah, m see what you did.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
They're kind of I mean, Max Max whatever, though it's
very close. See what you did, though, sauce you keeping
up or not? I'm trying to think about what well,
I can't think when people are watching. You think everybody's
staring at right now? Yeah, what are you thinking about?
Who the quarterback might be in twenty twenty six? If

(24:53):
it's not somebody on this roster? I mean they could
draft one.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
Yeah, they might have like.

Speaker 7 (25:02):
The sixth overall pick, but every team Infernia needs one.
And it's not a very good QB draft. Every team Infernia, Infernia. Yeah,
it's a book. I it's a draft book.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
I'm Brandy.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
My grandpa gave me that book.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
Yeah, Louis Stevenson, Bryan.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
That bricker doesn't even know his grandpa's name.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
Grandpa's name.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
Yeah, mister Bricker will help you. What Week thirteen start
to the Turkey Day triple header? Oh my god, you
actually wrote that into your phone, didn't you. I did
Turkey Day bad?

Speaker 3 (25:40):
That's on.

Speaker 7 (25:41):
The Lions hosts the Packers at noon. The Lions are
between a one and a half to two and a
half point favorite. The Cowboys host the Chiefs at three point.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
Thirty am.

Speaker 7 (25:51):
Casey is a three point favorite, and the Ravens host
the Bengals at seven twenty. The Ravens are a seven
point favorite and Joe Earl will likely start for the Bengals.

Speaker 4 (26:02):
For years and years and years and years and years
when the Lions were terrible and unwatchable, it was like, man,
the Thanksgiving Day lineup sucks. All three of these games
are good for different reasons of the lineup. Yeah, and
we got the Black Friday game on Friday, Bears at Eagles.
So we have four games that should be pretty good
within you know, a little over twenty four hours.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
Yeah, man, not a bad, not a bad window of sports.
Did anybody losing the Serviverpool.

Speaker 7 (26:27):
No, no, all those Lions almost did in the the Ravens,
who a lot of us took for down like three
nothing deep into the game against the awful Jets.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
Let's see here.

Speaker 7 (26:41):
The Timberwolves lost last night one seventeen to one twelve.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
They were up by ten with like three minutes left.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
They are now.

Speaker 7 (26:50):
The Kings are now five and thirteen. Ant had forty three.
He's not the problem. The Wolves will battle the seventeen
and one thunder tomorrow. Fleets scored thirty in a NBA
Cup game.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
Howk you'll be watching?

Speaker 1 (27:06):
Yeah, of course, I can't wait. I like the different
colored floors.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
I think you're on.

Speaker 5 (27:15):
Yeah, it's that was a real tough That was a
tough loss, and it comes on the heels of a
really bad loss in Phoenix, being of eight with fifty
seconds to go. It's the composure element of it is
catching me off guard, because that was going to be
a strength of our team, was the continuity, the veterans

(27:38):
we played together before, we're running it back and then
to have these sort of frantic we don't know what
to do looking moments deep in games is concerning. It's
also that we were going to be better in crunch time,
close games, big moments. The Wolves were not a good
team in that category last year. That was going to

(27:59):
be a marked area of improvement and on the radar,
and we're working on it, and so far in these
last two games, they've been anything but. And I did
not anticipate that, Max No.

Speaker 8 (28:13):
I mean, like you said, we thought the Continuity was
going to be a strengths team and it just kind
of something feels off. The vibes just just feel off
with this team right now, and they don't look like
they're up to par with the rest. I mean, we're
seeing some of these teams that basically kind of ran
it back, like the Thunder, like the Pistons, that are
doing really well, and the Wolves just are They're not
even they don't even seem like they're in the same

(28:33):
stratosphere as those type of teams. And this is a
team that made the Western Conference Finals back to back years.
I mean, they have a different set of expectations on
their shoulders this year than any other year in Timberwolves
franchise history, and they're just blowing games late to bad
teams and it's like stunning collapses, like not just short, small,
little collapse. It's like they're blowing an eight point lead

(28:53):
with forty seconds to go, giving up a ten ozer
run to the Kings in a minute in the fourth quarter,
and using to a team that only had four wins
at the time that you beat by thirty points a
couple of weeks ago.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
It's just there.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
It doesn't seem like they're they're taking it very serious.

Speaker 4 (29:08):
What's nuts if they just close out these last two
games against Phoenix and Sacramento. They're twelve and five and
no one's complaining, but they blow two strange games, and
now you're ten and seven and it feels like it's
falling apart.

Speaker 5 (29:19):
Things can change real quickly, though, as we know in
the NBA, and there is your perspective, it is early.
We're ten and seven. It is a long season. If
you can learn from this, survive this, be better because
of it, then we look back and go, remember those
two losses in November. Wow, that made us a really

(29:40):
good team.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
They need a point guard.

Speaker 5 (29:42):
A couple of things. But yeah, that that is becoming
more and more evidence.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Yep, Well, go get LaMelo ball. He wants out of Charlotte. Yeah,
how would you feel about LaMelo Ball on this team. No,
LaMelo Ja Moran Ja Moran man.

Speaker 8 (29:56):
Closed, Yeah, I would, I would love. I would love
John Moran or LaMelo Baw honestly, Yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
Mean what about Carmelo s Hawk would proper?

Speaker 3 (30:04):
No, he would definitely would Cat.

Speaker 7 (30:07):
Then what currently they have a point guard and hawkys basketball?

Speaker 4 (30:12):
You would want a Meadow soprano or Carmelo? Can we
call her Carmelo?

Speaker 2 (30:21):
He's fine either, Yeah, he don't care Carmelo. Viking's news
is next.

Speaker 4 (30:27):
Obviously, the big news is Jad McCarthy, which means the
big news might be Max Brosmer.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
We can talk about that after this Power trop morning
show on No Fan.

Speaker 6 (30:37):

on the you know ham?

Speaker 7 (31:23):
I would hope they focus on the entire pig because
a pig roast is outstanding.

Speaker 3 (33:48):
I basically I've never had an original idea in my life.

Speaker 2 (33:53):
Man.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
I love the idea that you go through a process
and see it's like, okay, I'll take you on. It's
a lover.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
Ad that's on fire.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
Something to look forward to him.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
On the Power Trip presented by Thank You So Yesterday, Ladies, Joe,
Thanks to our friends ragg by the way, it was
a shocker when KOs stepped to the party and said this.

Speaker 9 (34:24):
You know over the course of our travel home, reported
some kind of symptoms and uh in regards to you know,
his head, and we wanted to get back here once
we you know, kind of heard that he was evaluated
last night and after completing those tests, our training staff
and doctors and medical team have decided that the right

(34:44):
place for him is put him into the protocol for
now and he'll go through that process this week.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
And him, of course being JJ McCarthy. Uh, here's KOs
on JJ McCarthy this weekend.

Speaker 9 (34:56):
With the quarterbacks not really taking contact in practice in
the different phases of the protocol, I think we got
to just take it a day at a time and
leave it to the medical professionals and the protocol. It's
in place for a reason. We're by the book, you know,
every step of the way on that. And I'm a
huge proponent of the protocol and this and the procedures

(35:18):
in in place for the betterment of the most important thing,
which is player health and safety.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
So who will replace JJ?

Speaker 3 (35:24):
Mt Kale Max would take those take those reps.

Speaker 9 (35:27):
But like I said, you know, with how the practice
week is going to go and Thanksgiving and things like that,
there's a timeline there where you know, I think first
and foremost will make the decision through the eyes of
the medical professionals and the not only our staff, but
the independent folks, And it's a medical thing first and foremost,
And then I do think, you know, then at that point,

(35:49):
you know, once you know, we see where we're at
in the week and what it's looked like preparation wise,
then we can make a football decision. But until then,
you know, I look at look at it clearly as
a medical decision.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
There you go, what are your thoughts, Marns, You know.

Speaker 5 (36:07):
What, It's been a It's been a tough couple of days.

Speaker 9 (36:09):
I have.

Speaker 5 (36:11):
A lot of thoughts and feelings because I watched the
game as a lot of us did as a fan,
and it was hard to watch, and it got to
the point where I was feeling bad for everybody on
the field, for JJ McCarthy in particular. Who did our
play by play for that game, said Hawk.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
Knows was John Kelly, Joe Davis.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
That was it John Kelly.

Speaker 5 (36:36):
At one point he said, this is one of the
worst hals of football I have ever seen. And he
wasn't just talking about JJ McCarthy. It was the overall
product that got to be shocking. I would say, I
was like, what are we looking at? What is happening?

Speaker 2 (36:53):
Yep? It was tough tough watch, yeah about it?

Speaker 4 (36:57):
So again, can it get worse? If Rose Mug isn't good,
I don't know if it can get worse.

Speaker 5 (37:03):
That second half was as bad as it can not
get worse than that, Like the Miles price, you know,
it's just like everything that could fall apart fell apart.
I hope it cannot get any worse than that.

Speaker 12 (37:15):
You always hear that for rookie quarterbacks especially, the game
has to slow down or something. And you know what
was hard to watch a lot of times because they
seemed to be having trouble making a decision figure out
I was going concussion can be part of that, Like
part of what we might have seen in that second
half could be him dealing with some things that was,

(37:36):
you know, things were not clicking as well in his
brain as he wanted wanted things to click.

Speaker 3 (37:42):
But yes, it's been that.

Speaker 12 (37:44):
It hasn't just been that half either, It's been you know,
that's been a deteriorating situation.

Speaker 4 (37:49):
So do you remember when he was the Offensive player
of the week in Week one? We were going to
start a parade on Tuesday Show. After that game, we
were like, we got it. There we go, We're gonna
win fifty five games. This that feels like fifty five
years ago.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
Yes, man, things are not quite the same as after
that fourth quarter.

Speaker 7 (38:06):
And then he looked terrible against Atlanta. And wasn't he
hurt in the Atlanta game?

Speaker 3 (38:10):
Yep?

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Came out of the Atlanta game hurt.

Speaker 3 (38:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (38:15):
Did any of you watch a decent amount of him
at Michigan?

Speaker 3 (38:18):
Yep?

Speaker 2 (38:20):
Cal him down, I meant him. Yeah. On the field,
he was great.

Speaker 7 (38:24):
On the field, he was great because this isn't a
shot at him, but the shot at him coming out
of the drafts.

Speaker 3 (38:31):
He didn't throw enough.

Speaker 7 (38:32):
But that offense was so good and Harbaugh, even in
the pros now loves to run the ball, and they
were so dominant that he would have to make like
four or five clutch throws a game, but he.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
Did, and he did.

Speaker 5 (38:44):
That's and decisions correct.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
Yeah they weren't.

Speaker 7 (38:47):
They went fifteen and oh they beat some really they
beat Washington and Alabama that year when they won the championship,
who were both great football teams.

Speaker 5 (38:56):
So it wasn't just like you say, well, he was
a game manager quarterback. He handed the ball off to
great running backs. He was much more than that, right,
JJ McCarthy was. He maybe didn't throw all the time,
but to your points us, he made clutch throws when
he had to. He made quick decisions.

Speaker 3 (39:13):
He won a national championship.

Speaker 10 (39:14):
Yeah, yeah, you don't just fall into that, No, fresh
doesn't always, you know. Trans It's like the weirdest part
about all of this is he's gotten worse. Like he
was outstanding in that first that fourth quarter of the
first game, he was terrible against the Falcons, and he's
just regressed. That's that's probably the most glaring thing is

(39:39):
they run these like simple plays for him in the
game against the Packers on Sunday, and he gets sacked
or he holds onto the ball too long, or he
sails the throw. And you know, it is tough when
Micah Parsons is almost in the backfield and every play
but like, you gotta make some throws, you gotta throw
the ball, and he would just hang on to it
a lot of the time.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
I look at the text, I just s't you, guys,
this is a picture that I just copied from a
story from Alec Alec Lewis and the Athletic. That's a
picture of Max Brosmer. Look at that, that stance of
him throwing the ball right there. Everybody who's looking at
it right here. Everything we've heard complaining about JJ, that's
the exact opposite in that picture. Look at where his

(40:19):
arm is, Look where his his shoulders a little bit
above the other shoulder, where his eyes are, where his
arm's at, all of that stuff. Maybe the mechanics are
just substantially better with Max Brosmer already, you know. Maybe
they're you know, intangibles obviously that JJ that Max will
never have, But just as far as fundamentals, maybe maybe
he's a step ahead because he doesn't have to relearn

(40:40):
so much or learn things for the first time that
JJ's had to learn from this coaching staff.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
You don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (40:46):
Maybe he's just swimming.

Speaker 1 (40:47):
Maybe, yeah, maybe it's the well yeah, Rona.

Speaker 5 (40:50):
Said just a minute ago, the game has to slow down,
and it feels like the game is speeding up every week,
and that's probably not Yeah, you want to go in.

Speaker 7 (41:02):
The weird part too, though. There are a lot of
people who do this on social media. Everybody does it
right where they after the game, they watch it and
they post a bunch of clips. There are multiple clips
where Justin Jefferson is wide open, Addison is is his
route is going to break off and he's going to
be open, and there's no anticipation and he dumps it
down to Hawkinson kind of in like a panic. The coaching,

(41:24):
the coaching made. There are people who are saying, well,
it might be the coaching. The game plan that they
put together when you watch it from a from a
different angle, is mostly there. We saw that against this
last Sam Darnold game. Those players were wide open and
Sam just got destroyed behind the offensive line and just
couldn't get him the ball. The game plan sometimes is there.
They just he just can't execute. He's he's gun shy,

(41:48):
is what is what I'm seeing.

Speaker 3 (41:49):
Thank you for your honesty. You're welcome.

Speaker 1 (41:51):
I didn't do a good job making my point. I
mean imagine that we that if you're JJ McCarthy, you've
got to learn the entire offense right, but you also
have to learn where your feet need to be, where
your shoulders need to be, where your eyes need to be,
where your hands need to be. And now you're Max
Brosmer and you've already got those other things taken care of.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
You have to do learn the playbook, you know.

Speaker 6 (42:09):
What I mean?

Speaker 2 (42:09):
Yeah, starting at zero, JJ is starting at negative five.

Speaker 5 (42:13):
Ye yeah, yes, that's why is JJ a negative five?
Did he have terrible form in college?

Speaker 2 (42:20):
See, that's the thing that's fascinating. Did he not have
a year year to work on it a personal quarterback
coach since the time he was in sixth grade? He did?
That's the thing I don't understand.

Speaker 7 (42:29):
And if we are seeing this and the people on
Twitter are seeing this, why wasn't this something they saw
in like mini camp where they were like, maybe it's
not there, right, Like we like Diana Rassini and all
those people at the Athletic were like, there are reports
that it's like they are worried about him. That's why
we keep hearing about these quarterbacks. But somebody or a

(42:51):
group of people were like, no, we're not bringing somebody in.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
We can fix this.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
This kid's got it.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
And they've looked wrong the six games he's played.

Speaker 3 (43:03):
Yeah, thank you for your honesty.

Speaker 1 (43:05):
Right, Yeah, anyway, so they go, Now, let's move on
to other things. Here's KOs on our former quarterback.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
I don't know some doctor that sucked for the team.

Speaker 9 (43:23):
Sam has continued on with a lot of the things
he did last year for US. You know, they're very explosive.
He does a great job, you know, getting the playmakers involved.
I think Smith and Jig was one of the best
receivers in football. And they've got some good tight ends
and between Cooper and they make a trade for another,
you know, skill player at the deadline and you just feel,
you know, some momentum of that offense and you know

(43:45):
they're able to move it as well as anybody in
the league.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
They made some moves at the deadline. M Yeah, that's
Seattle team.

Speaker 7 (43:57):
If they win that division, which I don't think they
will because of the Rams, but if they get to
play a home playoff game. That's a tough place to play,
Thank you for is it the noise and I mean
I've never been there for a football game. You have
hawk right, it's a tough place to play.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
Its incredibly loud. It's it's the most loud United States
stadium I've ever been in.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
Most loud. It's the twelfth Man, right, they call it
the twelfth Man. It's incredible.

Speaker 1 (44:24):
There's an overhang that I mean, it's an open air stadium,
