SPEAKER_01

Well, we're back for another episode. How's it going there, Jay? You gonna make it? Whoa. Yeah, it should be Brandy's BS and Stogies. I don't know. You got me on these things. I don't, you know, I like Stogie's. I just don't like the aftertaste. Like I had one the other day. I think it depends on this type of stogie. Well, we were depending on how you get used to it too. So we were at this uh uh retirement party the other the other two nights ago. You and yeah, at the same place we were at that wedding, farmer G's. Oh, at the bar. Yeah, it was great. So, but they're all big time stogie guys. I sent you a picture of the Stogies they had. They had bought a couple cases or whatever. Yeah, yeah. And so I like, hell yeah, I'll have one. I thought you were bringing those up. I thought you had those. I thought you bought a box. No, I'm not that fancy. Those guys are fancy. Oh, speaking of that, I gotta, oh, by the way, I gotta tell you a story about that. This can be bought about the part, about the yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, here we go. Well, let me finish this first. All right. Um I just so there's a lot of things. I just had Stogie said that's that whole story. Oh no, that's what I was gonna say. No, there's another one. I gotta write it down. No, uh, the Stogie thing. So so here's the thing. I don't mind them, you know. I don't mind them. But then afterwards, it takes me like chew some gum. I I brushed my teeth 14 times and I had like a half a bottle of scope, and then I chewed some gum. I don't like that taste afterwards. Chew some gum right away. Makes a difference, I think. What kind of gum? Like bubbolicious. No, I guess spearmint or uh uh whatever, uh whatever.

SPEAKER_04

A spearmint? I don't know. I usually have I usually have spearmint or mint of some kind, whatever it is. It's the it's the the the sticks of gum. I don't know.

Plane Dreams and Pilot Training

SPEAKER_01

Anyways, so you remember how we were talking about buying a plane? Yeah, yeah, I know. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And you were like, uh Did I find one? I sent it to you. So you were like, oh, we need a beaver or an otter. Yeah. No. Talk to my guy. My guy that's got one. Oh, I mean less you know, you can after retirement. I talked to him. So you can get nicer planes for sure. So he said, do not get a beaver or an otter. Why? He said, although they're they last forever, he said you plan on spending$30,000 a year for maintenance on those. I said, Really? Why is that? He goes, You want a C 121 as your first plane? I have one. He's got two planes now. I didn't know that. So by the way, that's a C2120121. I don't know. I got I got he's like, he's like, I'll get you all the information. He's said, so then I said, Well, we need our pilot license. He's like, I'll send in a guy down a bland that I know I'm buddies with. You guys go through him, it won't take you that long. So I got his name and number. So he he goes, because I go, it won't take very long. Nah, he said. He I got hours. I got all my fears answered from him. It's all about hours. He goes, Isn't it? I'm pretty sure that you it's not like you can't do it quickly, just mean unless you unless you fly like every day. He's so easy, it's so easy. He said, and then he goes, So he's the guy remember, and I I I try to invite myself down to his ranch to go pig hunting and deer hunting down there. Oh, okay. And then he always calls me, like, hey, can you be here like an hour? I'll let you come with. And that and I gave him a hard time the other night about it. And he goes, I said, so I'm guessing I wore out my welcome, my invites because I have I've turned you down three times because you gave me like a 45-minute up, you know. Right, right. And he goes, No, no, no. I go, I go, my kids are gone now, so I can pretty much leave a lot sooner, you know. Well, I get a text at 6 a.m. on Friday. Can you meet me at the Cambridge Airport? Wait a second. The party was on Thursday. Yeah, he goes, he he texts me. Him and his kid were going down pig hunting and deer hunting down there. He texts me at 6 a.m. Get your ass up to Cambridge Airport. Bring don't worry about guns, I have them. Just bring some warm clothes. He's in Texas. Where's he going? Texas. What do you need warm clothes in Texas for? I don't know. I text him back, I'm like, dude, I gotta go pick up my aunt at the hospital, right? I said, can I meet there late afternoon? And he's like, No, we'll be we're gone already. He's like, just we'll do it another time for sure. Don't worry about it. But he was talking to me about so about flying. I go, okay. So my big thing is I'm not scared of heights. I'm scared of flying. Are you sure? I'm not, I'm scared of crashing.

SPEAKER_04

I'm scared of falling.

Checklist Mindset and Near-Miss Lesson

SPEAKER_01

Falling. I'm not I don't mind it. I'm just worried about so he goes, listen to me. There's only one time he's like seven years for as long as you follow the checklist and you do everything you're supposed to do every time and don't get he called it big dick syndrome because he's like, We were me and another guy that I know, we were trying to catch another friend in another plane. We were going out to Montana hunting, elk hunting, and we're both flying. And I had one buddy in my plane, he had one in his, and the weather was really bad, and the ceiling of the he's like, We were basically flying 200 feet above ground, which is illegal. And I had to go down to 100 because it was he's like, so then I'd find to 100, then you started like watching for like like like those lights or those uh like uh cell phone towers and shit, don't you?

SPEAKER_04

I mean, those things are like a hundred feet up or more.

SPEAKER_01

So he said he got his wits above him, he's like, What am I doing? He turned around, they landed, and they because of the weather would got bad, and he said, I spent two nights in this small town in North Dakota, and we spent two nights at this Legion, yeah, and it was awesome. He said it was one of the best things. Yeah, you can't you can't screw that up. But he said, That was a time that I checked myself at the like I was really disappointed in myself. He said, I would have should have landed a lot sooner. He was like, I do this checklist every time. If my wife's with me, or something's we do it, go through the checklist. He's a I know how to land a plane with the engines out, right? As long as they teach you that. He says, as long as you do the checklist, and don't he said anytime that these small ones oh that's Q.

SPEAKER_04

You want to pause it for a second? Yeah, pause it for you. All right, hold on, folks. We're gonna be right back. That was awesome. We just were re-listening to it to find out where we were left off at.

SPEAKER_01

And then the phone rang, and I thought it was my phone ringing again. Hear their phone ring in the podcast. The duck, the duck quack. That was Q calling in remotely, but he didn't have time to get on the ears. He might call back in and be on a guest on the ear, but he had a they're doing a fish fry up there at his old uh cabin. So he was good at air frying. We'll get into that later.

SPEAKER_04

What do you see marinating his fish in for a while?

SPEAKER_01

What is it like I'm gonna put that down, but I don't finish me stuff.

SPEAKER_04

But I wonder if it was like uh like like local fish or was it like marinated like a salmon or something, you know?

SPEAKER_01

I don't know.

SPEAKER_04

He's air fry, he's deep or he's deep frying it, so it's gotta be like wall air crappy or something.

SPEAKER_01

So then why would you marinate it? I don't know. Unless you let him marinate in like salt water. Maybe that's what Q disc called it, and it was just putting like a batter on it. Could be, could be. All right, anyways, back to the story. So before the before we get oh, the pause the the plane.

SPEAKER_04

The plane. He's talking about the deep plane, deep plane. Yeah, you're talking about this guy knows how to land he's a checklist and knows how to land them on.

SPEAKER_01

He flat out told me, he said, listen, people that crash these planes making mistakes. There, there's they're made to we can we can land them, period. I don't care if you run on gas, I don't care if your engine went out, I can we can land them as long as you follow the checklist, you're fine.

SPEAKER_05

Right.

SPEAKER_01

And I was like, really? He goes, yeah. He goes, no, a couple times I a couple times I had to come in hard with that. So that one that I was telling, I think it's a C 121, it's got the big tires on it. Yeah so when it he had like 40 Marel wind crossman, so he ended up off the runway a little bit and hit some little damage on it. Oh, really? But he said, now he's got a bigger one, I guess. He can fly non-stop all the way to the his ranch. I don't know what I didn't ask him, but so he's got two of those bad boys. I was like, well, maybe you want to sell us that one if once we get our license. What's it cost to hanger those things though?

SPEAKER_04

Because you got a hanger, you gotta like buy like buy a garage. Well, put them over here. What do you take off over there?

SPEAKER_01

Put a runway in? Yeah, we can we can we can make bump run runway. Good. We got we got enough equipment, probably good. Mm-hmm. Or we put it on the lake. We'll get a water one. Water one. Yeah. Mm-hmm. It's floats.

SPEAKER_04

I don't know if those get as good a gas bloods are or fuel.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, because they got a lot of our drag going on there. Farmer G's brother with the perfect hair, the game show host. Right, yep. He might be interested in going in with us on a plane? Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Anyways, enough of the plane talk, but I thought I'd share that with you. Super nice. You got to meet him. Great people. Great people. You'd love that guy. We should go check out his planes.

SPEAKER_05

Um, and I'm gonna because he really appreciated that we gave him a shout-out. He's an avid listener of our Brandon's Amidas. Yeah, yeah. So hey, I'll give you mad. Is the band still back together? Well, it is, but he had to take he had to leave. He had some uh let's just say he had some family, his I'll just say it, I don't care. No one his mom was had has some little bit of health issues, I think. Oh and so couldn't do her, couldn't go around well, and he just you want to kind of get that all squared away because she's in another state and long story. I'm not gonna get too into it, but yeah, he just felt like and it was I think well, he can correct me when text me later when he listens to this, but I think he was it was a lot of I mean extra work, you know.

SPEAKER_01

But it's and I took him, look at the dog. He wants to see, he has to get up high to see what's going on. You guys can't because our cameras are down right now, so you guys can't see because normally when our when we're on YouTube, you guys can see what we're doing. But we got one of the labs is up on the picnic table scouting out, looking for things out, looking for birds and deer, deer, he likes deer. Yeah, he just looked back when he said deer. But, anyways, yeah, we're up at the lake. All the docks are out. We did the switch over pretty much. No, we didn't do the switchover. Switchover. Well, kind of oh, we didn't bring the sleds out. Yeah, no snowbill has been out yet. No, but we took the docks out in the two hours.

SPEAKER_04

We talked about it, but you got a little more room now, so it don't have to rush to get it all in and swap. No rushing.

SPEAKER_01

No rushing. I was uh gonna share that funny story because I came up uh yesterday, last night, and doing some work this morning, and um went to the garage next door. And you guys ever go to the garage and you because we got like garage fridges, you know. Normally it's for like garage fridges. Mostly it's for beer, right? But when you have a lot of company at the cabin, sometimes you gotta use one of the fridges as extra like fridge storage for food. Oh, yeah. You get to meet people up here, you gotta it's because you don't want to just keep in the fridge. Because your beer fridge gets full, yeah, and you gotta keep beer cold. Yeah, so then you gotta have another fridge. So we have an extra one in the garage next door, and um lo and behold, I went in there today and uh I opened the door and I'm like, what the hell is going on in here? It smelled like an animal died in there. Yeah, Grandpa Jay told me. And I'm like, it smells awful. So I come out and I talk to Grandpa Jay. I'm like, Did you smell it? And he goes, Yeah, I smelled that Thursday night. I go, it wasn't like that last week. We smelled it Thursday night. He's been here since Thursday night, but he didn't. No, he smelled it Thursday.

SPEAKER_04

He didn't like trying to investigate.

SPEAKER_01

He thought it was uh, he thought maybe it was the you know when you get like on the more like wet grass. Oh yeah. He thought maybe it was that, but he's like, I don't know if that I go, that didn't smell like wet grass. That smelled like dead animal or shit. Yeah, wet grass guy smells like that moldy-ish, but not musty-ish kind of whatever smell. So I tell him about it. Right. So we're like taking like the um we took the patio furniture off and we put it away over there in the in the garage for the winter, right? And uh I went back in and I go, we gotta find out what that smell is. You can't leave that in there because he's got the old I don't want that the fancy car getting all smelly, right? Ooh, yeah, that's right. So I go and he goes, Well, it's got I all I did was unplug the fridge last weekend. I'm like, well, let's look in there. Let's get it. Open the fridge and there's nothing in there. It's clean. I go, Did you check the drawer? Did it smell? I mean, would you open the smell? What is it like awful? Oh, yeah. It was awful. Open up the drawer in the bottom drawer, and there's a whole full rack of ribs opened because it popped.

unknown

I don't know.

SPEAKER_01

It blew up. It let blew up. What if it just blew up because of the fermenting yesterday? Oh, yes. It was like a balloon butt popped. And it was so rancid. Oh my god, it's awesome. Then I threw it in our garbage barrel, but then I took it back out and threw it in a garbage bag before put it back in there. Yeah, that's not good. That sounds awful. I was so bad. I go, hey, should we should we put it on the grill just to see? Because if you cook it, wouldn't it just be fine? No. Pork. I don't think so. How do you cook it at a steak? I don't think it would be good. What if you cook it? When meat spoils, it spoils. I don't know.

SPEAKER_04

I don't think you can eat it after it. I tried it. The flavor would be all wrong.

SPEAKER_01

We had a steak that we spent money on. We forgot that we had an extra one in the freezer. And it was I took it out and thawed it out. And it should have that reddish color, but it was dark brown. Yeah, we freeze it. They kind of get they can. And I'm like, we're good. I'm like, no, we're gonna eat it. I took one bite. Freezer bird. Oh, it's freezer.

SPEAKER_04

Did you like ziplock it or did you vacuum seal it?

SPEAKER_01

We're doing vacuum seal now. Yeah, we've been vacuum sealing for the last six months. Because I remember we got one for like a Christmas like 17 years ago. I told you about that. I do that all the time. Oh, I know. We we were being lazy, but now we like it. Now we do it. Well, those no kids now. I know.

SPEAKER_04

We made a rule on this podcast that we're not talking uh politics or religion. And what do we do? We talk politics or religion. But we have to do it off air. Off air. Because we might we're we're in all you avid listeners, we're tinkering, tinkering with the idea of maybe branching off and doing a separate one, but that's all we talk about. Oh god, yeah. But there's so many of them out there, and we're but we're right about everything. I think we can do pretty good at that. I know we're right about it. We've been right about that kind of stuff for years, though. We've been talking about that for years. Yeah, we wrote shit though. I mean, that's like that's like the original paper.

SPEAKER_04

The original podcast topics were that. Yeah, when we decided to kind of branch them like, yeah, we better not do that. Yeah, but originally we're talking about all that.

SPEAKER_01

That was a coffee back in the 80s. It was a coffee. And like tab. Remember tab? I remember tab. Because it was sugar-free. Do you oh god, I don't like sugar-free stuff. Do you remember um tang?

We never got it very out of it. We only had Kool-Aid. Hey, Kool-Aid! That's all we ever got. And we couldn't even get our parents, wouldn't even buy freezy pops until later. That was what the rich kids as well. Did we make your own? Yeah, with toothpicks and Kool-Aid. Yeah. In the ice ice cubes. Yes. They were bad. They were all right. But it sucked. It was fine. It was embarrassing. It was not embarrassing. We didn't have the money for that shit. You know why? You know what I think we should have done with all the topics? We used to go and get we used to go to holiday. The problem was the toothpicks. We should have put the popsicle sticks in there. Reuse them. Oh, yeah, we reused them all the time. But I think the problem was it wasn't they tasted good. I think the problem that I had was the toothpicks were too small. We should have put them in with regular popsicle sticks. Or but they're too big. They should have made deeper the depth of uh ice cube trays deeper.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And then had popsicle sticks. That could have been a million-dollar idea back in the 80s. They had that.

SPEAKER_04

There's one in a safety record, probably one they said one was in Italy, but tipped over tipped over. We were in Croatia on this one, and the other one. Oh, sorry. Am I talking too close?

Yes, he looked like he was drunk and that he just he sorry he looked like he just like he did not want to be there and I'm like because the guys the three guys that are in the you gotta turn it up a little bit. The the guys that are the the guys that were on the the table with us, the chefs, yeah, they were great. But the guy running that craned, I was a little a little nervous about him because he didn't look like he he looked like he was kind of checked out, all right. Like he's like, but so I guess I overthank it. Think thunk thunk thunk think thank thunk. So we get up there, and so I would say about a good 15 minutes, I was holding on like this. You're like grabbing the table, the table, yeah, and I was not enjoying myself, but they kept pouring the wine. I'm like, fill that son of a bitch up, and I slam another one, I go fill it up again. And I bought off to the seventh. You're slamming wine, yeah. I was 100%. Seventh one I started, and then uh Dr. Medias is like, put your hands on the table.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, we should actually. These cigars take a long time to smoke. That's that's the good thing about a cigar. I know we can sit and talk and have an old-fashioned Dr. Matty Ice wants to uh have us out there.

SPEAKER_04

A good cigar takes a long time to smoke.

SPEAKER_01

Does it?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, because they they they they wrap it nice and tight. So it smokes even. It smokes it smokes just even. I don't know. I I I'm kinda cigar snobbish. Except some of the cigars I like are not snobbish.

It's a Minnesota cigar. It's really good.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_01

Well, you sound like you're a connoisseur of uh the old uh tobacco leaf. I kind of am. There's certain ones I like and certain ones I don't like, actually. Well, that's good. Maybe you should stop smoking.

SPEAKER_04

What? Cigars? I should. I shouldn't smoke it right ahead. I shouldn't smoke as many as I do right now. I've kind of gotten a little too carried away with it.

SPEAKER_01

I've had three in the last six months, and this is craziness for me.

SPEAKER_04

I've had more than that. I've had I've had this is my second one today. But I like them. They're good.

SPEAKER_04

I gotta put the cigar out. It's too much. It can't. It's I'm done. I gotta throw it out there and I'll have to smash it.

SPEAKER_01

We gotta wrap it up here shortly because we got dinned in on the old uh stove. We were slaving all day. Negs is working on it. And uh slaving all day, it's leftovers. Uh we're slaving all day. I started the oven. I turned the oven on. That's delicious. All right.

SPEAKER_04

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I think you should. Maybe you should do it.

SPEAKER_04

No, I'm not you. I want you, you can do your thing. I'm winging it. I'm winging this. Because I gotta be honest with you, I'd like to get into this Vikings thing because the Vikings just that's terrible, but you don't know.

Sports Minute Setup and Cigar Snobbery

SPEAKER_01

I'm I'm glass half full. You're glass half empty. They've never done anything in my lifetime. Well, this year. The entire life, my entire life. This is the year they never they've never made it a Super Bowl. Yeah, but they've been MC Championship a few times. Yeah, yeah, they got their asses kicked. How many other teams have made the Super Bowl? Lots of other teams have made the Super Bowl. Okay, well take that back. I mean Kenny edited that out. I remember looking back in the day. I remember when I was a kid, even like Cincinnati was like good. I mean, you had you weren't even when Chris Collinsworth was like a wide receiver and Kenny. I mean, just think about the I mean they had who did who did Cincinnati have? Oh, they had like the icky shuffle. Who's the Vinny Vinnie Testaverdi? No, he wasn't the same. They did the Iggy Shuffle. Yeah, yeah. The Icky Shuffle. I mean, even the Browns. Yeah. No, he was maybe he was a brown. I can't remember. I remember brown. You're browned. This is tan. Oh. Nice tan. Oh, so what do you want to do? A two minute. Two and a half. It's on the screen.

SPEAKER_04

You see it on the screen?

SPEAKER_01

Um, yeah, I see the team.

SPEAKER_04

Do you need your cheaters on? Or what?

SPEAKER_01

No, I I can see that, and I don't have nothing prepared, so I'm gonna wing it. Alright, let's wing it. All right. I'm gonna jump in. I'm gonna jump in where needed, though. Well, how about after my two minutes? No, I'm jumping in where needed. Well then you gotta pause it. No, I'm not pausing. We're gonna jump in where needed. Okay, fine. All right, here we go.

SPEAKER_04

Right, three, two, one, go.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, it's fall right now, and the Vikings just started. Wilds started yesterday or Thursday night, and now the squatch are back. We'll talk about some Vikings. The Victor, they're gonna be three and two. They had two games in overseas. Everyone's talking about the quarterback. We have uh JJ McCarthy who got hurt. Yes, he's a good quarterback. However, the the the offensive line was hurt, so they didn't they didn't have any hell for him. However, he's supposed to be a championship. But get get in line because uh Carson West won a game. Three and two. That's okay. Because last year, what happened? We should never got rid of that quarterback because he's the best quarterback in the league right now on Seattle. But guess what? We don't want to go to uh uh the playoffs like 14 and 2 and then blow it. We want to ease into it. Work get better as the season goes by. I'm okay with three and two. Three and two is okay. That way, as we get better each year and our people get healthier. Holy shit. Okay, and we want to go into the playoffs. I said this 14 and 2 don't matter. Let's get in the playoffs 8-8. I don't care. Let's go and then they're hot, and then let's go. And in the wild, they're gonna win the night. They play in uh home home opener tonight. Home opener tonight. I'm kind of excited for that one. Uh Columbus Blue Jacks, they won 5-0 on their home, not their home, but the their the night uh they're at uh St. Louis the other night. They won 5-0. They didn't play great, but they won. Goalie played great. Goalie played great. And guess what? We have 40 seconds.

SPEAKER_04

Will he lose the blues in the playoffs?

SPEAKER_01

No, I think this, I think I'm glad, you know, everyone says, like, why'd you say why'd you spend that much money in Capri Sha? Well, what are you supposed to do?

SPEAKER_04

You have to. What are you gonna do? Let him go.

SPEAKER_01

I'm I mean, it's like, dude, I'm with you. It's not our money, it's not our money, it's not our money.

SPEAKER_04

We we we watch him. No, the owner's money visit, yeah. It's the owner's money. Yeah, why not?

SPEAKER_01

I saw it coming. I'm not writing a check. I don't you just don't just watch them on TV, anyways. All right, and you can squatch.

SPEAKER_00

Squatch.

SPEAKER_01

Uh they have a lot of big shoes to feel. I heard that this year they're not so they already played a couple and then they're not looking as good as last year, but I think it's a long season. We're gonna win. They still have the two for ones, and we're gonna be going here shortly. Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. All right, so now we're we're there. All right. My take on the Vikings is we're we're three in our we're three in our division. I mean, Packers are better than us, Detroit's better than us. We're gonna Oh, really? Yeah. Um, we that's my take. We just beat teams that they lost to. I don't care. I think that Green Bay looks good. Green Bay looks really good. I don't care. I know they tied whatever they I don't care though. I don't care because last year, the problem. Remember what happened at the end of the year where all three of us were right there Green Bay, Minnesota, and Detroit. I think Detroit peaked out. They're like the Vikings. Unfortunately, I like them, but they're not gonna go anywhere. More city kidneys. Yeah, they're. Done. And I feel done. They did really well last week. Yeah, but I just think that they're they peaked. They they missed their two years at window opportunity. I think they should have won the Super Bowl. At least went to it. They blew it. They shouldn't have had. They were the best team. They should have had. It was kind of like us in 98. They should have had in the playoffs. It was kind of not even close. Well, we didn't shit the bed, but we screwed up in 98. And in 09, we should have both both years the Vikings should have been in the Super Bowl. And that's kind of like the the Detroit Lions. They should have been the last two years. They should have been one of the two, at least one of the two years. Last year they should have. Yeah. They screwed up. And they're kind of like us. They can't handle pressure, and we can't either. However, I don't know what to say about McCarthy. I don't think he's terrible, and I don't think he's great. I know everyone says, well, you get you need protection up front. And we have a lot of people. You know why I really like the Tampa Bay quarterback?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. He's doing great. What about New York? New York just just beat the just beat the Eagles. I know. That kid. That kid. What's his name again? I can't think of his name.

SPEAKER_01

That kid is that that kid looked good. I don't know. I don't feel like we have a good judgment because now Carson Wentz is playing. So what do you do? Do you let McCarthy like you gotta get a kid in there? You gotta get you gotta get a franchise. Do you have to get him in there? Why? I think you need to get it. Why is he gonna learn a little bit more and play? If we're winning, let's win, right?

unknown

I don't know.

SPEAKER_01

McCarthy, he doesn't have a big contract. I don't think McCarthy's like the guy, right? I don't think he is. Well, he's supposed to be. That's what we fucking. I don't know where it's at. I don't know. Oh, it's right. But anyways, but I don't think I don't think McCarthy's guy. He's he's gonna be a good thing. We want a career, we want a uh uh uh we want a franchise, yeah. Franchise correct.

Rapid-Fire Sports: Vikings, Wild, Squatch

SPEAKER_04

And we already we're paying our franchise fees to our receiver, though. Yeah, who is uh who is we're supposed to like I mean I think basically you're paying him to tie up all the other defensive backs so that you can get somebody else open because he doesn't have any he's had like a blowout game either. He's had some great great catches and missed a couple too, but he's not been like super fantastic either.

SPEAKER_01

Who JJ?

SPEAKER_04

No, uh um a receiver, uh yeah, JJ Jefferson, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Justin Jefferson. Well, the problem is they're triple Tving him. Um in this somebody else should go. Well, they did last week, they did. A little bit. He won that, but he yeah, but he's who knows what happened to him.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I mean, who knows what's going on with him because he's got all kinds of shit going on. He doesn't make the practice, he's got all kinds of the DUI thing a couple years ago or a year ago.

SPEAKER_02

I'll give that coach quarter, uh, the uh I'll give him credit. He benched him the first quarter.

SPEAKER_01

KOC. Yeah, I'll give him credit. Yeah, he did. And and I'll give I'll give Addison a little bit of credit because he didn't sulk, he didn't like cry. He went on and he won the he won the game-winning touchdown. And I'll give Jefferson Jefferson is really good. People Jefferson's really good.

SPEAKER_04

He was I think Jefferson's really good, but he he he getting triple teams, so then how come nobody else is getting open and we're not just blowing these people out?

SPEAKER_01

Right. And I think that had to do a little bit of our offensive line, and now I think our thing because we have third stringers in. I know we do, but at the same time, Cleveland, the team we just beat, supposedly have the best defensive line in the league. The front four, the front four are really good, yeah. And we only got sacked three times, so give them a little credit, and they won. Yeah, but then that then you're saying that he got sacked three times, which is not great, but not bad, right? Well, they sacked it, they sacked uh I think Green Bay or what other team they I think Green Bay lost at Cleveland, and I think they got sacked six times, right?

SPEAKER_04

But that means that you should have somebody, you should have it's a working property.

SPEAKER_01

They should have they should have. I don't know what the answer is. It should have come down to the last to the last minutes. I didn't watch two to and and by the way, two weeks in Europe that's not healthy. No, no, that's tough. It's gotta be tough for the tough. I mean, yeah, they're professionals, I get it, and they got all the best combination accommodations. However, I just went there. Did they just stay over there? You wouldn't travel back. No, they stayed there, right? But it's just like you're still kind of your internal club. And I know they're professionals, they can make millions of dollars, and I know they were there and they get away. You say that, but me, I just went on vacation there, and I'm still not acclimating on things back to this. Today I woke up at 5 30. But then again, I went to bed at 10 o'clock last night, so whatever.

SPEAKER_04

Went to bed at 10 and you were up at 5 30?

SPEAKER_02

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01

I woke up at 5 30.

SPEAKER_02

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_04

I didn't go to bed until like I went to bed at like 11, but I was up at like 7:30.

SPEAKER_01

At any rate, let's move forward. Hey, once we be happy, we're three and two. We're three and two, and that's okay. If we would have gone the other way, the season would have been over. I still think that season. I think there's gonna be controversi uh quarterback controversy now. I think in the next week, they're gonna what are they gonna do? Because he had a Wentz had a great drive that last week.

SPEAKER_04

Do you think JJ's come back?

SPEAKER_01

I don't know if they need to because that last drive by Wentz was nine for nine.

SPEAKER_04

Right. But do you do you bring the kid back?

SPEAKER_01

Or do you start the other kid? I don't know if you do. Oh, the guy from the Gophers. Yeah, the guy. I like him. Why don't you start why don't you play? I think he's sneaky. I think he's gonna be alright. Why don't you bring him bromance? Broman. Whatever. That's the band. Why don't you uh throw him in there? See what he can do. They were gun on that because Wentz got hurt and then he came back out. I don't know. And then he went in there for one play, didn't he? Like one play. One play is probably a handoff. Right. Well, we'll see. I wish them like I would like to see them uh advance. And just like the wild, the wild need to make it to the at least the second run with the playoffs this year. And I think I think we're we're okay. We're okay. Let's just calm down. We'll see what happens. There's a lot unknowns. But three and two is not bad for where we're at. With what we got, and I'm not great either, though. Yeah, but did Brady his first year go undefeated? No. No, I'm not saying undefeated. That's done good in the rookie year and then on was the guy from Kansas City. Right? Well, and he's he's pretty good. And the guy the long hair from Jacksonville. Not Jacksonville. Well, the guy with the long blonde hair, that guy. He did good his first year, too, but all three of them. Overall, they usually don't do good for a couple years. So we gotta be a little bit patient. Yeah, but right?

SPEAKER_04

I don't know.

SPEAKER_01

Jay McCarthy, he got hurt in college a lot. Yeah, he did.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, he did. Yeah, he did.

SPEAKER_01

He's hurt in college. He missed his whole year. I talked to my cousin, he's a big Michigan uh guy, and he said he's good. Well, he's good, but he's not good. He goes, he's like, he'll be fine. Don't worry, he's a winner.

SPEAKER_04

We'll see.

SPEAKER_01

He's only lost like three games in his life.

SPEAKER_04

He's lost three games to the Vikings.

SPEAKER_01

Mm-mm.

SPEAKER_04

Come on, game.

SPEAKER_01

Well, you hurt. He's he's I don't know. I don't I'm not so lucky. Whatever. We can talk about this off here because I don't really care. Because at the end of the day, I don't even watch him anymore because I'm so pissed off.

SPEAKER_04

I haven't really I watch him, I do watch it, but I usually watch it like after the fact. And then I'll like run fast forward through it and do whatever. I had I had family over, so I couldn't watch it the one weekend. I had to go get the house short. Well, I was on a boat. Oh, you're yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You were. I was I remember I talked to you.
