You can get much sleep last night. Yeah. What else was new? It's a Monday. It's a Vikings victory. It's a Monday. It's a Monday. It's a Friday. It's a Friday. It's a Monday. It's a Friday. It's a Vikings victory. Monday. What a win. What a game. What a weird day. I feel like I'm still a soggy from being in very much Chicago. Hey, two in a row. Who else is two in our division? Nobody. That's right. That's who. Lots to get to. Let's get her started. Here's David Tell. Some comedy on a Monday morning. Come on in. It's going to be a great day. And I'm glad you're here. I took acid. Have you ever acid? Yeah. I took it with my friend Terry. He lives in my eye, brow. We went to play miniature golf on acid. Putt putt on acid. What a mistake. For three days I thought I was the king of that little town.

I was like, hello. Hello, putt putt people. You and the windmill. Let me use your bathroom. And like all good drug stories. It always ends with officer. The cuffs are hurting me. I guess what I'm trying to say is I want to have a family. I really want children. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know.

I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. The inner. The inner. The inner. The inner. That wetter sock that game was hard to watch. But when it mattered the most the Vikings made gigantic plays and sneak out of there or the victory was ugly. But the will take it. Yeah, man. Yeah, it was great. See a lot of rain man Long day yesterday But we're two and over the only team in our division two and I wouldn't Man Somehow we figured it out you go and just go and win that game Let's go man. I would love somebody that runs a stadium to tell me the answer to this I wonder what percentage of concession sales go down when it's a non-stop rain game Because who wants to drink a beer if it's literally raining in your beer who wants to order a hot dog and food if

It's immediately getting drenched You know what percentage of a normal day at the concession stand is obliterated by three hours of rain It's got to be way down. I mean it's Chicago. They're drinking but it's got to be way less than normal Yeah, way less man one bus kill. Yeah, or a lot of people watching the game from a TV in the Concourse, sure because they want to enjoy their Sure baseball helmet nachos. Yeah, there's a surprising amount of that stadium does Seeding is covered. We're not by the upper deck That helps maybe 35% or something maybe I don't know, but Yeah, it was it. I mean it started raining like it's seven o'clock and It just like I told you guys in the elevator in the way up. It was like a Like a shower head like a really good shower head at a hotel The whole time the entire time it barely stopped raining and when Ben gets here

He'll tell you all about it because Ben had to stand in at the entire time. Yeah, that's just no fun Yeah, and who wants to sit there who wants to report there who wants to play in that again I know I'm in the extreme minority because football fans love the elements. I hated it I thought it was so unwatchable again. We'll take the win I'm not I'm not bummed about the win because Chicago struggled big time as well But man, how many players on both teams literally couldn't catch the ball because it's a downpour. Yeah, how many flat-out rain Related drops do you think we saw you today like seven? I mean, yeah, they're they probably catch it if it's dry Including that Justin Jefferson one in the end zone which after the game he just flat-out said better conditions I catch that yeah, sure I mean, that's just it's just so frustrating where it's just Whatever I know it's that's like I'm in like the 10% of people I think that like or that hate weather games the vast majority of people do I Just hate it. I thought it was you know, I thought it was greasy. I like the greasiness of it I like the that it just downpour the whole time it affected both teams the defensive coordinator

Called an unbelievable game the weather did help obviously, but he had them man and they have an absolute superstar and reigns What am I saying here rain? Sunshine any of it in Dallas Turner. He almost had cable Williams like six times and then on that final play they have a tight end block him I just they are that teams good man the defense is so we I'm afraid that I jinxed their young quarterback in the pregame Mr. V Yeah, yeah Would you say in the pregame? I said Eventually I said every young and asked car driver goes out and he drives like his hairs on fire till he hits the wall Really hard one time and then he starts remembering what it feels like to hit that wall every time he goes into the corner Mm-hmm. I said eventually Caleb Williams is gonna feel like he's gonna get clobbered by somebody's gonna remember that every time He starts to take off from the line scrimmage and then about I don't know third quarter Van Ginkgo destroyed him from behind like a car crash and

And then of course his leg exploded like you got shot from the upper deck So I didn't want him to get hurt. I even said after my coming I won't certainly don't want to get hurt, but eventually someone's gonna hit him real hard and Man it was I was really afraid that it was his Achilles the way he went down. Yeah, same Yeah, now they're saying it's a hamstring and it sounds like it's optimistic down here that he was walking around looking pretty good Apparently after the game so That shocks me because yeah, it's like he he has like he looked like John Creasel non-contacting Right cuz Van Ginkgo on the on the TV coverage you could see that he dove for him But didn't get him just Caleb's just running. Yeah, yeah, it just boom pops and it goes and there was a couple of times when he walked off When he was helping walked off where he couldn't put pressure on that foot. You're going Looks like that Achilles just rolled up on him, right sure did sure did but Yeah, I don't know. I don't know talking to Pete on the way home Last night about you know the different types of injuries you can have to your hamstring

He said to hire up your leg. It is the worst it is and he said their other player what 29 Maybe 26 I can remember who also went off with the hamstring injury was grabbing his hammy right below his butt And said that's the worst part to have it. Oh, if it's a hamstring and it's lower on your leg like Caleb's was And it's usually is better. So we'll see you know, Pete knows stuff So he goes out midway through the fourth Tyson Bajans Fills in the rest of the way and every Viking fan in the world thought we were gonna lose 10 to 10 to 9 Yeah, it just especially with that extra second which was a hundred percent accurate for sure I'm a little surprised the home clock operator let that clock run cuz it was almost two seconds Yes, it was it was a good second and change for sure But it was there was definitely time in the clock. There was no Michigan secret clock as John bed and called it right via Frank Kelly into a week ago That was a legit second left on the clock and I'm like this is absolutely gonna go the bear's way and it didn't Thanks to Dallas Turner. Yeah, nope, but man that that last drive from Bajans

It's like where has this been from either team all game correct This Bajan, do I have a ghost of a memory that he's like he's a great story his dad is the arm wrestling dude Yeah, Tyson's an interesting story Pelicero, I think like interview to met like a senior bull that being Bajan's dad and like arm wrestled him in a whole bit Yeah, like the senior bowling story. Yeah, the senior bowling tour Yeah, by the way, I thought I know of course you were obviously listening to the game because you were at the stadium listening to the broadcast That was your job sauce were you watching the game at home? Honestly, yes sir I thought Greg Olsen did a really sloppy clumsy job of explaining it He was explaining the downside of kicking the field goal to go up six right that The dangers of going up six late in the game where the other team has only one choice to go for a touchdown Right and how dangerous that is we saw it firsthand now they might have marched on the field either way But the fact that they don't have a safety net to just kick the field goal and tie it that the only option is to go for the kill Changes the strategies. Yeah, there was a really interesting choice by Koc

And sauce I was I was in the car and I heard you say and it's I think this is the difference if in good conditions And it's Caleb Williams It's really dangerous to say Man, he has to score a touchdown. He might just do it. Yeah, but in the rain nobody could catch nobody could do anything It's Tyson Bajan. He's only been in for five minutes because he got in their halfway through the fourth It's hard not to just kick the field goal and go up six and just say there's no way Bajan can beat us And if he does then they deserve it. That's off to him. Yeah, but that that is a you know in a indoor stadium with a world class quarterback That's a really dangerous proposition to kick the field goal and go up six. Yeah But we got away with it. We got away with barely We got away with it and as I said the idea see of putting a tight end on Dallas Turner. Yeah, deserved to lose Especially a wide receiver tight end. Yeah, I mean like a lot of love right not like Josh Oliver. This is yeah, love You know, it's crazy though, man Again, nobody ever roots for anybody to get an injury that goes without saying

Everything that had to go our way to win that game yesterday did yeah everything the fumbled that you know The which was a great job by Jalen Redmond. Oh, I mean, I'm what a punch that was incredible The mist I should say blocked field goal which was he got the first one too He got a hand on the first one as well I mean just everything that had to go our way went our way including you know Terrible injuries that happened at the right time for side. I don't know. Maybe it's a team of destiny You just never know the two things you just said that yeah, they had two Cracks inside the five and came away with zero points Right zero because the blocked field goal and a fumble, but that's that's the difference in the entire game You can't get that close and come away with zero. Yeah, they didn't So there you go. Yeah, we are man, you know, who to think is all you see at the end of the years the W's and the L's And we've got two W's and both of them are about against division four. You know, it's crazy though Two is I still have no idea how good we are Right, you know what I'm saying like because yeah, I didn't feel because the first game we played like ask for three quarters and then exploded

Yes, today obviously with the conditions our offense did almost nothing for a decent running game But still Almost it nothing on offense our defense looks like we're legit But let's see it's for as I mean, we're not gonna be bad. We're never gonna be a bad defense unless we get riddled with injuries I still have no idea if this is gonna be a team that has High ceiling or if we're still gonna be a grinder of a team and just fight to the postseason We're gonna be right down to the wire can't tell yet. We haven't seen our squad yet Squad talking to Ben about I'm sorry to pee about when I was when we were driving home on I don't think we're gonna hear a lot of clamoring this week saying keep Carson in no. Yeah, no I think it wasn't enough. Yeah, right. Yeah, if you put up a monster game I truly think it would have been a legitimate concern for Koc to go what do we do here? I mean Carson just threw for 350 and three scores in the rain. Yeah, what are we gonna do? We can't take him out but You know no offense the Carson but he didn't do enough to say there's no chance We're going back to Kyler right and you're two and a half point road favorites next week

Well, they're all in two and then I'm freaking oh man. They're hideous. Yeah, Baker. How is that possible? Oh, they had the what a four-hour Rain delay. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I didn't get to see that. Yeah, they had like a four-hour range They're Baker just can't hold on to the football He's make but yeah, so that'll be great 305 next Sunday can't wait 305 game and sunny Florida times Not bad. There you go man Then'll be in a little bit. He'll tell us how it happened We get to talk to Justin Jefferson after the game. Yeah, that was great That was cool. What time's the only today right we have the only this morning as well right? 640 Adam feeling that's correct. That is correct. I saw his wife posting stuff on Instagram yesterday where you know Adam is just Watching the game at home edge of his seat. I'm like that's a transition. I know we we all do that because that's what we've done our entire lives But it's we he spent his entire life playing football now. He's just yeah, got to sit on the couch and watch it Yeah, yeah, it's got to be weird I wonder if like he asked her he's like would you do my favor on Sunday mornings? Would you just print me a schedule?

Tell me to walk down the stairs. Tell me what time breakfast is gonna be served tell me where I should sit on the couch Yep, you know just so he feels like he's still back in football times wins the bus pick me out. Yeah, yeah like You know make have the coffee ready but have like a bunch of different varieties of coffee so I can have like I can make a choice Like maybe give me a foot rub That's just on the browns flights Hey, are there multiple flavors of coffee available at all points here for the for the Vikings? Oh, no kidding. Oh, yeah What are the what are the options? There's too many list. Oh, man. I mean, what do you want? Just an ice-damericano, please. That's boring. It's hail.

Yeah, so you admit it No, I feel good. Well, that's good man. I'm glad you're good Are you thanks, man? Are you yeah? I know I know it's dynamic PJ sound. I know where the hell I went Why don't we just have sauce paraphrase That's what I was gonna play it for or I can just read his tweets if you want You can't do that. Yeah Big go for win over the weekend. Yeah, huge. I thought their response was incredible I think from what happened last week to this week. It's very difficult to do that It's very difficult to come back and dominate a game And there were so many areas that we had to grow and get better at and we did and I know it's it's hard to do They did all that 15 hours ago sauce tweeted the Vikings are showing how tough it is to be the good Mac team

What a what a dick I mean they were though It's even harder to be a big Mac team. Oh, how good with that Well, he won those 16 hours ago you tweeted head chef amy at Burger King and then a gift of Neil Patrick Harris raising his hand Oh, he for sure would she makes chicken nuggets How are you talking about who's that this lady burger king commercial. She she's their head chef Would you wait too much attention to fast food commercial? Yeah, if you read sauces tweets Not in real time right if you read it like a day later. It makes I mean obviously. Yeah, none of it makes sense Here's a series of like six or seven in a row pretend you weren't following along while this was actually happening okay 17 hours ago we'll start with this I think it'll make sense to max just awful Yep, oh, and then right after that. Let's go. Yeah, okay 17 hours ago, when's isn't great

16 hours ago what a cheap penalty I don't know what I don't know what game that 16 hours ago head chef amy at Burger King. Yeah, he would he definitely would oh yeah 15 hours ago put JJ and That was for Zag 15 hours ago this this defense is outstanding. Yeah, they are 15 hours ago what a game for the defense. Yeah Caleb is badass that sucks. I didn't want to see him hurt Can we get a first down we did we got a few of them this is going to be a awful loss. Yep my English is bad and So are my predictions Aaron Glenn is a bad coach. He's a horrible coach. That is back shoul. Thank you, Max The chiefs are cheap that was last night.

I get that $100 back for the 84 nothing victory You said on Friday hockey is 100% correct and why you would take the 57 and a half points you're going They're eventually going to call off the dogs. I got up at like 11 30 and Friday to take a go to the bathroom They were they were up 56 nothing with like five minutes left in the third quarter They they scored 28 more points. They scored with 29 seconds left in the game They never called off the dogs college football is broken. They weren't what we just attacked this team

Why is that even a thing? I know they're getting paid But they Legitimately in purposely ran up the score. They scored 12 touchdown. Right, but who cares who's getting paid? This is it's just so bad for college football to have these games even exist I mean 84 and nothing so many of those games this weekend. Yeah sure It's like why it did is ridiculous man Like I don't care that Ohio State can beat the little score school of the poor by a hundred You know, it doesn't make any sense Indiana beat western Kentucky 38 nothing Ohio State 593 right the timber wolves don't play a game against minotaka high school Just to get into big 10 conference play you know what I'm saying like what are we doing here?

The sea ox of a jaden obviously drew locked at a great job filling them for the dog It does remember how last year it felt like there was not All runaway winner and it felt like about six or eight different teams could win the Super Bowl and the sea ox did already I know it's early Isn't that the exact same thing this year? I don't feel like there's one team that is head and shoulders. I have of everybody else we don't have a 98 Vikings Situation right? It's like it's a group of about eight teams.

I'm now for front page sports Presented by holiday station stores holiday station stores jumbo wings of fire Available at holiday a little heat a lot of flavor bold savory wings with just the right kick Sure jumbo wings of fire only At holiday thanks holiday Of the Minnesota Vikings one nine to three over the bears hell yeah Vikings are two and oh the bears are one and one Carson Wentz 11 of 20 for 143 no touchdowns no interceptions Caleb Williams 15 of 26 for 138 so also not good Plusy through a pick to buy Ramurfi Of course, he left the game with about seven and a half minutes to go in the fourth when he pulled up with a hamstring problem It looked super serious. It looked like it might have been At a kill ease or something horrific. It sounds like it might not be as bad as we think but uh

Left a way if you're bears fan you're probably still concerned that it's Multiple weeks week two maybe I don't know who knows we'll see uh that is the seventh consecutive win at soldier field For the Minnesota Vikings that matches a franchise record for consecutive road wins over a division opponent They've done it twice in their franchise history seven against Detroit from 68 to 1974 and then seven straight against Green Bay in green Bay 71 through 77 So if we do it again next year longest road winning streak against the division opponent all time for the vikes one more Up next at Tampa Bay Sunday at 305 right here on the fan, but uh yeah the Blocked field goal late really the difference maker right that changed everything changed everything. Yep So we have the Jalen Redmond force fumble at the one in Isaiah Rogers recovers That took three to seven points off the board then a block field goal late those those two plays with a difference

So the defense really bailed out an inept offense, but again the weather made it We're both teams were ridiculously inept we're a team of density. Yeah, well set hogs. We're very dense. Yeah Destiny My density With what oh the buttons are broken the computer Spongebob just disappeared. I watched it happen. Oh great. Oh What's dice? There's a Cal she spot Huh Give me fix it now you fix it whenever you can daddy Dallas Turner at two sacks including the game clincher as the Clock ticked down and Tyson Beijing had the ball Every Vikings fan assumed it was gonna be a late last second touchdown and we were gonna lose 10 to 9 But nope Dallas Turner sacks him game over hell yeah Got that right It was sweet. He's outstanding. He almost had him a couple of times that beat when Caleb was in man

It was uh it was he is uh Really really really good and I don't think on Sunday Tampa's gonna block him with a tightout Probably not Hey, this is a nitpick hum shocking right Um You know when the when a defender has a court the quarterback in the grasp And then the quarterback throws it away and gets called for intentional grounding It kind of sucks if that player doesn't get credit for a sack. Yeah, we thought Better than I talked about that. I we thought he did so no he does not so like Eric uh Eric Wilson Right was the one who was trying I think it was trying trying to bring Caleb down Caleb throws it away It gets called for intentional grounding right so it's a flag They lose the down and they lose the yards Wilson doesn't get credit for a sack So again, it's nitpicking because it's like well the the play the play is justified right the result is the same But if uh if you're Eric Wilson, you're like well, why don't I get the sack? I'm the one who quote brought him down

I I caused him to lose the whatever it was 10 yards. Yeah, what the hell? Not a weird thing. Yeah, it should be a sack. That's a very good point. Let me tell you guys when Ben gets here We're gonna ask him and I want the camera to be just a one shot on Ben's face Eric Wilson's shoulders I can't believe it They're like barrels sitting on top of his body This is a strange question because I think I know I actually I don't know if I know the answer Between you and Ben. Yeah, which one of you is more likely to quote Accidentally sleep with Eric Wilson I'll say this for sure Because they're both a little confused about their love for Eric Wilson. Yeah, I'll say this for sure both of them I am a five foot six hundred and fifty three pound man. I would have no choice Yeah, well said none. Hey, I zero now we're put now if Eric Wilson's waking up he's going what the hell

That's me But just just said he would just sexually assault him and that Eric would just take him against his will no no I did not say that You said you couldn't stop him if you wanted to I also was going to add before I was so rudely around I wouldn't have any choice and I probably wouldn't fight it Got it. There it is. I'll say it is a good looking dude. I can't believe it. I've never ever been in the same room With shoulders like that Bodybuilders want his shoulders. Yeah, the dude cut from stone. Yeah, wants his shoulders. Yeah, he's got like point one percent body fat The other big controversial rules thing yesterday I want to talk more about Eric Wilson's shoulder The other big rule discussion was the toes versus the heel thing yesterday with Isaiah Rodgers and his interception That was called out because both of his heels obviously hit the white lines of both Feet technically are out of bounds but the question that everybody was asking on social media is how is it different if he's facing the other way

And he catches the ball on his tip toes And he drags his feet out of bounds That counts. Yeah, so why doesn't this count something about the way he's facing or something right? Yeah, it is It's the heel rule right where it's like well like if you are facing the other way and then both of your toes go In bounds and then you drag your foot out of bounds That's good and this one isn't can't step backwards out of bounds. So people are saying well, what's the difference? I don't know what the I'm asking hypothetically or rhetorically I should say because I don't know what the answer is I don't either I don't know what it says in the rule book about why one counts and one doesn't run explain it yesterday and he doesn't know either Yeah, I've stayed it up for him. No, it's just his past. He didn't understand either. Yeah, it is strange Because I would argue forget forget the drag your toe rule for a second I would argue if you if you look at the still shot

Both of Isaiah Rogers feed her out of bounds Right, so in my mind is like well, that doesn't look like a county doesn't have either foot in bounds He stepped out of bounds with both feet But right his toes were down first and then his heels came down second So you're like well, then how is that different then you go? I don't know how it's different. I don't know So I would love to see what the actual rulers because I don't know what the actual rule is But I don't know what was the what was the radio broadcast Reaction because I know the guys on TV dismissed it quickly as soon as they saw the replay though like oh, he's clearly out of bounds hesitation they're like oh, he's out that's that's that calls coming back when we saw the replay We can tell that his left foot wasn't bound and his toe Was in bounds before he put his heel down So we thought there was a chance they might overrule it, but Bersich said Um, he believed I think it was that one where he said he believed if the ruling on the field had been that it was an Interception they wouldn't have overturned it But since the ruling on the field was that it was not an interception

They didn't have enough grounds to overturn it. You know what I mean that kind of thing yeah Yeah, strange one ended up not mattering because they'll clinch it anyway But again, that was one of those this is the most Vikings thing of all time correct. It's how many ways are we gonna Find a way to give Tyson Bagen another chance Almost almost hideous Go for football 141 seven over acronym Saturday Drake Lindsay three touchdowns 204 yards that govors are now two and one they are at Washington on Saturday nights at 10 p.m 10 PM this Saturday night That's way late.

Thank you Vikings one ninety three over the bears the Vikings are two and L the bears fall the one and one Uh, not a lot of offense tons of rain Pretty good defense though Yeah, man, uh the Vikings had four sacks one for Van Ginkgo one for cashman two for Dallas Turner including the clincher Vikings have the Tampa Bay Buckeneers Sunday at three oh five. What really matters though is this having hurt What a banger Same record though right as the clincher. Yeah Um Send the pain Oh, what is it the same album it might be It is

I don't remember all the chavelle albums kind of blend together. They're all kind of awesome though. I know Oh, the clinchers from this type of thinking could do us in got it Hey, man, and send the pain below is from wonder what's next? nailed it like what really matters Well, I wonder what's next what really matters is this story hold up your fist Oh, man, I'm surprised. I thought your fist was going to be like the guy on scary movie Who's stirring the mashed potatoes? Sure Because your heart is about the same size as your fist Hmm By the way, I watched most of scary movie five on the way home last night. It's not the new one the latest one. Yeah I just love dumb comedy like that. I mean, it just dumb and it's just dumb Some of the characters Like the guy who smokes pot all the time. Oh, yeah, it's shorty. Yeah, shorty Um, but what's the girl's name from Uh, the Beniccio tomorrow del Toro movie that we all just saw that we loved with the car scene

Oh one better one battle after another oh Yeah chase infinity. No, she is super hot though. No, what is it? I'm blanking on her name. Oh, Tiana Taylor. Oh, Tiana Taylor Oh, okay, it's also in those scary movies as well. Yeah, right Tiana Taylor is in the very first scene and she is so hot She's so hot. Oh, yeah, so hot. Yeah Um But it you know, it's not a great thing. See I have again, we talk about this. I have a theory about Over like looking over somebody's shoulder when they're making a selection on an airplane I think it says a lot about who they are like Chris took you got a that's a short flight, right? Yeah, very short flight Yeah, you pick scary movie five That's why I didn't want to pick a movie. I really really want to see Because I would get to see how long how long is that flight? That last night was extremely long because we sat on the tarmac for a long time. Oh, because of the weather I think so maybe. Oh weird Yeah, we sat there forever

But I digress but it's usually 50-50 minutes I think I kid you not it's longer to get from this the field To the airport than it is on the plane. Yeah. Oh, yeah, because Even with a police escort The Chicago traffic is a damned disaster. It is About how far Denver's airport is from downtown Denver. Chicago. Oh, yes, much worse It is yeah, yeah much worse like you said if you're just flying casually and you go to Chicago The uber or train ride into the city is about an hour. Yeah drive from the flight. It's almost the same guy Yeah I played cards this weekend with a guy who is a pilot for American you are blank And no, no, no, no, no, no, no, he's he's been MIA for 15 years. Oh, you still walking home. Yeah You know, we've always been told by pilots that you know the planes essentially fly themselves, right? Yeah Yeah, he he was in town because his his flight got

Cantal so you basically had 24 hours in Minneapolis. He's like what I remember de genna-regale or we will play cards I'm like welcome aboard But he said he can take off in zero visibility like if he's like I could literally be blindfolded and take off Like I'm not worried about the takeoff that so it's you know when it comes down to like lightning wind and like whatever the conditions Sometimes screwed up and I go what about the landing You know when he claims that he takes over quote takes over the landing I bet it's when they're hovering around the ground 15 feet when the wheels it when the wheels are on the ground Then he takes over and and make sure that you know that it makes me feel even better He said 45 minutes to an hour before landing The pilots essentially quote program the landing so he did he there is a you know there's there's work to be done He's not taking a nap But he's like I have my landing set about 45 minutes before we actually land and the only time they quote take over is if something goes Significantly wrong. Yeah, so I said that to my wife and I go does that make you feel better or worse?

She's like way worse and I'm like see that's the opposite for me. I feel a thousand times better. Yeah, that I know that it's essentially Program to succeed You take human error out of it. Yeah, I feel way better. No, I like that. That makes me feel better By the way remind me during the break I got some inside information that I would like to share with you guys, but it's uh Is for off here. Oh listeners love that That's greasy, but I found out some interesting things, but I can't that reveal my sources Okay It's not sports related It's nothing interesting, but it's something that you guys will care about if the listeners won't so what I'm gonna do is keep talking about it and killing time On the show like right now right now we could be getting to sports or what really matters You know just filling the air with nothing. Mm-hmm, you know, pretty normal. What really matters is this? Um Okay During the construction of the Egyptian pyramids in the 1800s, yeah

Each worker received four to five liters of beer daily, which provided nutrition. Yep No money just beer right. It's the John bonus payment plan And I like here we have a pizza party sure When you die you'll have great bit. So I got that going for So they were all drunk building pyramids?

You know what he's probably working out. Let's just be honest Making those muscles. Yeah, maybe all right. Well then for now. Let's just do more of what really matters unless he joins Scores and stats around the world of sports and in between fris changes are like with something else and score on the NFL Shall we? No, really? Late last night the chiefs and over time win on Sunday night football 33 to 30 over the Colts the chiefs are 2 and 0 The Colts fall to 0 and 2. Do I have this correct? They were 8 and 2 Last year the Colts and have not won since yeah, no, they ended the season Yeah, losing like seven or eight straight and now they are off to an 0 and 2 start this year. What's going on in Indie? I don't know, but they almost won that dough didn't they yeah, I mean they put up a hell of a fight against the chief So I I mean Is Daniel son plank or back yep yep 22 of 31 One touchdown one pick yeah, so the the Colts had like a fourth and 13 With like three minutes to go and over time and decided to kick the field goal to tie it

And some people are going okay, but overwhelmingly likely even if you make the field goal Best case scenario is you tie. Yeah, and that's almost the same thing as a loss So there are definitely people going I know it was fourth and 13, but like what are you doing? It's the chiefs Go for it go for it. You got to try to win it So yeah, he's catching a little heat. I didn't watch the game. So I'm not a hundred percent sure with the particulars were but that's the gist of what I saw on Twitter is that people were saying he You could have argued that he should go for it even though it was fourth and 13 Yes, sir Gicking for the tie interesting anyway, what really matters though is this without it's lining a mucus Your stomach would digest itself. Oh god that's hot yeah, I tried to do that last night. Oh Yeah Why daddy? I'm gonna try to digest myself don't do that. I need you here For what? For everything I just need you here. I like your presence. I like your friendship. I do give good presence

Yeah, well, don't you have one on your car? I have one. I'm gonna go down and get it don't go forget to remind me And here's a five excel sure for you Which might be a little tight Inside jokes it's so good doesn't mean a lot to you that he's actively trying to talk you out of letting your stomach eat itself He truly doesn't want you to do it Chris. He loves me more than he bails. I mean I do Are we married now? No, if somebody said do you want to be if somebody said what are the three worst guesses possible for the country with the most pyramids I would say is tan bull south america and switzerland what about Samuel He got to the record Paul out of those three things that are disnamed Istanbul south america in Switzerland first of all how many of them are countries

Switzerland's not a country that's a that was a test they failed what about the other two Uh, Switzerland is a country Istanbul is a country Kitchen I love it I don't know math or Geography So I like you know math. Yeah, I've never done math. Can you make it a hundred? Oh, how many of those three are countries? Istanbul is a country Switzerland is a country Sudan is a country You get south america south america is not a country. That's a continent So how many out of three two No, I'm not listening to you. Uh, is it my turn? Yeah The Carolina Panthers bounce back after giving up 59 points to the bears in week one They give up three to the now oh into it land of falcons. They win 34 to three The Panthers have outscored the bears right the Panthers have put up what 70

What is it point one to the score in the first week 37 so 71 points In two weeks Bryce young three touchdowns 287 yards And I think the sports world collectively is all saying man We wrote him off a little too quickly because that rookie year it looked like he was overwhelmed to look like he was too short Kids good man. Yeah, we touchdowns 287 the Panthers are one and one What really matters though is this two shorts are rapper right? Yes, two short whales whales Whistles in all time so see that's the one where he goes yeah All right, no back quite whatever man You don't know that format Does that some people in the building right Okay, it's my term Kids who play an instrument Are better problem solvers and normally social butterflies as they grow up

Whoops, yeah, I mean I'm decent with the problem solving social butterfly not how I would describe myself and I've been playing guitar for 30 years Yeah, social butterfly not so much In the right setting you're pretty social yeah when I leave the house Yeah, which is like once every three moons Oh The San Francisco 49ers 135 to 13 over the dolphins Brock party at one point did have a perfect rating, but he finishes with a 149 point one he was 20 of 22 For 287 two touchdowns. He also ran in a touchdown and had 30 yards Just say it. I was way off on that one I mean, he's really really good. Yeah, that teams really like that can admit your wrong. Yeah, that team is really good They stay healthy that team is as good as anybody now like Evans is hurt. Is he yeah Your Kevin is hurt like Kevin is hurt. Yeah, fallen this is hurt and didn't to mark his Robinson get hurt too

Yeah, yeah, did he get carted off like how serious is that? He got Cardi B. I think he got but they uh They host the Cardinals on Sunday and the Cardinals are bum sure But still like it long term this this team has been just injury plagued for the last what two to three years Yeah, so that team stays healthy. They got a chance, but we'll see what really matters though is this sloths can hold their breath longer than dolphins can If you don't believe it put him in the pool and hold their heads under water. She's Becky See what happens. How long can a dolphin stay submerged Let's take a look and I'll find out before before you we look it up. Let's guess It's gotta be I mean 20 minutes 30 minutes that would be my guess 25 minutes We're talking like a defensive backer. We tongue-by-like alignment Um no like the animal. Oh, not a Miami dolphin. Well played I pay them up. I'd say 20 yeah, I'm gonna be I mean that 20 to 30 minute range maybe like 45

45 Most often because standard water from eight to 10 minutes, but some species can do 20 to 30 minutes Okay, as you know the coastal bottle knows a dolphin can stay about 20 40 minutes underwater The research dolphin though 30 minutes plus so what about the sloth? Are they talking that the sloth can stand your water more than some dolphins are there 40 plus Can't imagine a sloth can go 40 plus 40 minutes. No kidding. Oh, thanks to their oldest old trust slow metabolism Heart rate reduction and efficient oxygen use So I think what you just asked sarcastically Chris is the question though. Yeah, did somebody observe this in nature? Yeah, or did some six son of a rich girl Let's put them on the deep and see how long we can hold them underwater before he does it's somebody's job And they don't necessarily love it But to drown it science We need to learn

Do you not want to know I don't want how would I do what really matters without those great heroes 30 heroes now Somebody's got to do it. I don't want to do it. Do you want to drown a kitten? No, but I have to You don't have to I'm just picturing like I'm just picturing picturing like Greta Thunberg at like this giant climate convention People are asking her about how do we save the planet? How do we how do we change climate change and some guy with a cigarette just goes oh Geez How would that help again? No, I just want to learn how long they can hold their breath for science Will that help in any way and they're like well not necessarily? I'm gonna do it anyway. His name is Jim I'm sick about it. His job is to just is to drown a bobcat What and we got to do it with his bare hands bare hands That's ridiculous. Yeah, but he's a scientist bitch Oh, why are you are you anti science? Yeah, you have a PhD in drowning though. He does your anti geography your anti math your anti English

Are you anti science as well me yeah I mean My anti learning about science probably and my anti science no because science helps everything such as I mean Give me an example climate the How does it how does it help the climate sure? Well, we know more about the temperature of the water like the ocean So we're gonna have an El Nino because of the warm Ocean temperature and it might be the highest of all time and if you don't care about science you can't figure that stuff out boom roasted Right I failed science twice in high school I Would just copy off the cutest growing class and then when the teacher would say how did you get to this? I'd say I don't know I guessed it That's right Where's that scientist come drow Yeah, he hated me

That one's not for science it's on the house Amazing would it be if somebody tried to drown sauce in his heads just too boy Yeah, this is he's like a giant water balloon Unsinkable, yeah Uh, a thing on it's gonna join us momentarily. So we're gonna go late on this segment. Okay, that's okay with you guys Yeah, keep on the lookout there as echo director. He'll be there any second If you would please Another another news I bet it's really hard to drown a guinea pig. Oh Because they're cute I bet it's easy to do it physically Mentally it's hard on your soul, but uh physically it couldn't be easier. Yeah, especially because of the squeaking right Like the squeaking are you okay? Just really I'm sorry. You don't like science. I don't like Animal death I'm just picturing like a hitman from a movie just getting him a nela folder

Not the kitty pig Spittles Of course named your guinea pig's spittles Yeah, of course if it lives with hockey it has to be if he wasn't a spittles he'd still be alive. Oh Jesus hawk He let us know code no, I don't think leabers showing up Leabor gets it no you didn't know by name spittles Ha ha ha My right Corey there's nothing better than tired hogs yet. No, yeah, thank you. Yes. Dang it timings everything I do wish I knew where spittles came from though Just pulling up right now. You always say hugs Come on in Here we go. Oh there he is. Oh spittles is here. Oh, oh, oh lord Little lord Adam Dylan

Yeah, look Well look at that cool. Oh, there he is. What a cool studio. Look at that. That's the real deal over there Oh, wow. He's got a real studio. He's gonna be checking in with this moment here. I can hear Ike's looking He's trying to turn his microphone right now Meanwhile his yeah, finally the button I was looking for here spittles There he is Poor spittles Adam's pretending that he's here us Yeah, yeah, he's smiling so he's definitely spittles going for his last breath For science Paul finish the job buddy Can you hear it? Yeah, hi Adam Can you hear us? I can't oh good. Oh good man Sorry about that. No, it's okay. That looks like like his sound proof studio wall back there I mean is this is this room your end built for what you're doing

That's right the wow It's built for all this wow awesome Adam Yes, is that your that room you have there? Is that something that ESPN if you're gonna join maybe not in studio And you're gonna be on camera and on location like you currently are at your home. I would guess Did they like have like a certain amount of threshold you have to have for sound proofing and all that or did you just do all that on your own? I did on my own so I could have that ability they haven't let me do that yet, but I'm hoping so Yeah, so you're flying in like every week to see to be with them right where do you fly to you flying? I guess just like old school Connecticut Yeah, I fly to Hartford, which is actually great because it's a tiny airport After my show like I have to pretty much rush because there's a little traffic So I rushed to get my flight at was at 645 and But thankfully I show up and I'm the only Oh Yeah, we lost him for a second. Can you still hear us?

Oh, he's talking, but we lost them. So I go do you know what my dad? I don't know what happened. I can see him talking his mouth is moving Not working. No, okay, no, I don't know what you have a we lost you So let's get to it. Okay Yesterday the conditions sucked how many times in your life have you played in driving rain like that and how much did you hate it? Yeah, I When I saw the pregame show I was like yeah, this looks awfully familiar to almost every Chicago Bears Game that I play at soldier field so yeah, not not fun for a receiver. I think O'Liaman They love it defensive guys absolutely love it. They wake up and they're like all right. Let's go For a receiver. It's it's my worst nightmare So definitely didn't miss being out there as far as being a receiver and trying to catch the football But definitely miss that atmosphere and man what a what a gutty win Do quarterbacks like Carson Wentz or Caleb Williams have to take a little bit off the ball

In terms of speed when it's that wet just because they can't give you the fastball every time You hope so but not always the case and then and then for them I mean I saw a couple of those throws that came out of Carson's hand and I was like oh that did not look good coming out of his hand But you know actually a few of them were completed and and one of them I saw was incomplete But it was actually on target but when it came out of his hand it was the one in the back of the end of Justin Where it just came out of his hand pretty ugly and spinny and not like a a good spiral So that's kind of what you deal with in those conditions Adam you've been a minister of Vikings fan your whole life You played for the team. What was your reaction when one second went up on the clock at the end of the game Do on my honest reaction. Yes I thought it was over for for the bad side Man, I mean even even going that play before that I was like oh boy This is not good and then and then they put one second on and it's like yep. This is classic

Here we go. So I was pretty pretty nervous. Those last few plays Adam dealings our guests and don't forget to check out his podcast Dial you can hear it right here on the iHot radio app. You can find it on YouTube anywhere you listen to podcasts and ETS performance thank you Adam for joining us. We appreciate we're looking forward to having you each week As far as your team goes though after watching week one and week two and seeing both those performances How do you feel about your two and oh squad right now are we seeing a team building on something great Are we seeing a team that has benefited from a couple of different crazy weeks or how do you feel about the the skill level and the possibilities for the Vikings in this season Well number one, and I hate to say this as an offensive player, but defense wins championships And the way the defense is playing right now is unbelievable just the the Energy the togetherness right like it's not you can't just look at the defense But like oh man that one guy is dominating and that's why they're playing so well

It's like everybody playing so well together so locked in you don't see busted coverages Especially in a defense that's pretty complicated and there's a lot going on. There's a lot of different scheme But you don't see a lot of bus and I think that's really impressive And then the offense you know they get they got some ways to go obviously yesterday was not a Game that you could showcase what you can do on offense, but um, I think it's a it's a work in progress But they also know what it takes to win and I it was really cool to hear actually on the the I was listening to the game And they said it on the radio or on the on the TV that Kevin You know the the night before Told them that he's learning to just call the plays to win the game not to have the stats and to get everyone You know a thousand yards or all these things and and it was really cool to hear that because that's really difficult to do But at the end of the day, I think everybody on the team wants that you know not necessarily Sometimes as individuals like man wow my goals. I want a hundred yards or the this or that

But at the end of the day if you win a football game who cares and everyone feels that way So it was cool to hear that and that's exactly what has happened so far Hi Adam. It's been good to hear from you. Hey buddy What's up? So forgive me. I don't know I was parking my car. I don't know if you would you guys already talk we were talking about a guinea pig drown and see Didn't miss much I'm sorry. It's the weirdest thing Adam yeah, you're sharing it on He's for science He's pro science pro science Question for you when it comes to being a receiver in weather like that like what what goes into keeping Your hands dry your your your mental's okay and not being distracted and You know just like adjusting to the football when you know it might come out a little wonky from the quarterback You know your footing's gonna be off like how do you just battle through a game like that and still be competent? Yeah, it's actually funny you ask because my my boys were asking that the other day

two days ago we we had like football practice in the rain Uh, we just kind of got a bunch of buddies together because our game got canceled We just played a little scrimmage and they were kind of asking the same thing like hey, did you wear gloves? You know what what did you do in the rain and I kind of walked him through the process but basically I would start out with the rain gloves and then eventually you'd realize that those are terrible and they're actually More slippery and then you'd kind of just go to the old old school no gloves and it was it was a mental Grind through that game because then it like would stop raining then you're like oh, should I put gloves on? Should I not should I put the rain gloves on because the rain gloves work for like a certain amount of rain Like if you're in Seattle and it's kind of misting Like perfect because they're kind of they're leather and they kind of just like get sticky if they're a little wet But as soon as it's like that where it's like raining raining and it's been doing it the whole game It's you're just better off with no gloves And then at that point you just have to have a new towel every series put it in there try to keep it dry

um And and then yeah just fight through the mental battle of like hey like I can catch the football. I'll be just fine You end up doing I told my my oldest son I was like just body catch it like don't don't worry about making these like sick, you know Handed one handed catches things like that in the rain like do it ever it takes to catch the football And so for us as receivers a lot of times if it's on your body and it's not above your head like just Body catch it, you know, just catch it right in the chest squeeze it in and and make it work All right, let's one quick follow it because I was actually talking to a couple of the interior defense alignment after the game in the locker room And they were just talking about the the footing out there and they actually felt pretty good out there because they were wearing the The screwing cleats now I know the skill position guys which I'm going to put receivers in yourself in that group Hate using the screwing cleats and weather like that like did you go with your your molded 12 studs or did you kind of Did you switch up your cleats and then did you go with the longer

Seven studs and how did that affect you? I strongly disliked the seven studs So I tried everything in my power not to wear them There was a few games that it was like yeah, you're wearing them the equipment staff didn't really give us an option And one of them was after we played in green Bay a few years ago. I think it was Kevin's first year And he told us before the game like hey, we've checked the field of conditions You have to wear the seven studs and in that game we were slipping and sliding everywhere because a lot of us did not wear them And he was so mad after the game and it was really because he told us it's like as a parent right when you tell your kid Hey, whatever you do not do this do not do this do not just you say it three four times and then they go do it After they do it you're like See I there's a reason why I tell you not to do it and so so I was kind of oh They're the worst they're the worst and you actually end up tripping a lot because they're like so different than when you're used to And you kind of just you know, you don't pick up your foot all the way or or maybe it's when you're kind of

Coming to hit the ground and you you stumble a little bit So they're they're terrible. That's why I hate playing it playing in green Bay on that surface and and obviously Chicago as well Even when it's not rainy it's you got to wear them. So It's not my favorite, but you got to do it you got to do especially in a critical game In this in the NFL nowadays like every play matter so much that if you slip and you fall I think I saw it in the actually Kirk cousins through interception and obviously it wasn't because of not wearing seven studs But the receiver slipped and fell and and he threw it to where he was going He slipped and fell and it was a pick so every play matter so much that you can't you can't Have a play that you slip because of your cleats adam and there you gotta go so one more for you again Adam Deelon our guest thanks to uh ETS performance the ETS performance dot com Committed to developing athletes through proven systems and expert coaching and his podcast dialed Adam.
