looking crowd, a lot of purple going on. We're six

Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for our left guard

Speaker 6 (01:58):
And gentlemen, Blake Brendall.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Thank you, everybody.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
How are you buddy?
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Doing? Good man?
Speaker 6 (02:04):
Good, good good.
Speaker 7 (02:05):
It's funny because everybody's like, okay, So will we know
when he walks in at six seven and three point fifteen?
Speaker 6 (02:12):
Yeah, we were gonna know.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Yeah, no, no doubt. I tend to eat up the
doorway sometime. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
So here's the thing.
Speaker 7 (02:19):
Tell me, were you one of those kids that were
always big or are you gonna give me that hole?
When I was in ninth grade, I was five ten
and I weighed one hundred and fifty pounds, and then
I went through a growth spurt.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
No, no, I've always been a big boy. I was.
I had the tape across my helmet youth football, so
I never got to touch a ball. I was an
offensive lineman from the get go. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (02:37):
All in all, they wouldn't even let you play like
te nothing terrible.
Speaker 6 (02:41):
No, No, could you throw the ball?
Speaker 5 (02:43):
I probably could, but it didn't matter, didn't it.
Speaker 7 (02:46):
So basically, what you're saying is that we had that
trick play of the double pass with JJ over to
Aaron Jones with third and sixteen, we go for twenty two.
But what I'm saying is that they're not going to
put a play in so that you get a chance.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Unfortunately not. No, my repertoire, it's devastating, right, no one
would see it coming. I could. I could try to
prove them wrong.
Speaker 7 (03:06):
Yeah, just give me a shot, coach, That's all I need.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
So you were born and grew up in Oregon.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Right, yep, yep, from Oregon, born and raised, Yeah, Oregon State,
and then you played for the Beavers.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Played for the Beaves, yep, yep, yep, yep. So it's
safe to say you're an outdoors guy.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
Uh fool, I know, I know it's crazy. I have
a great appreciation for the outdoors. Yeah I don't. I
don't find myself going out camping, hunting, fishing.
Speaker 7 (03:34):
Really, So you have no stuffed beavers at your house? No,
no stuff beavers, no nounce of any kind.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
No, I don't think my wife would like that.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
Really, she's not gonna allow that.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Shut that down. I should get one, that's you should.
Speaker 7 (03:45):
Even though if you don't hunt, just go get one, just.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
Probably in the state sale.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
I got to represent somehow.
Speaker 6 (03:50):
Yeah, no one's gonna know that you didn't.
Speaker 7 (03:51):
They're just gonna assume who puts that up in their
house and doesn't that's right, right? But no, no camping, hiking,
I mean out doors in Oregon. I mean that's kind
of the bit. I just wouldn't.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
I just wouldn't class myself classifying myself as an outdoorsman.
But we went camping growing up, don't get me wrong.
Back to the beach, went to the mountains, all that stuff. So,
oh okay, all right, all right.
Speaker 7 (04:13):
Blake Brandella is my guest here Vikings Country with Miller
like the official beer sponsor. Oh the Minnesota Vikings. So
could you survive on the woods?
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Absolutely not, No, I don't think i'd lasts long. I'll
be honest with myself. I'd like to think I could,
but you know, i'll watch all those shows or whatever
I like, I could do that. Two days in, I'm
probably done.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
On the old line.
Speaker 7 (04:32):
Who is the least likely to actually be able to
survive in the woods.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Brian O'Neill, no doubt, without a doubt, one thousand percent. Yeah. Yeah,
and I don't think I do well. I know Brian
wouldn't do well.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
Why wouldn't Brian do well? He's such a nice guy,
and he's huge. There's no bear that's going to attack him.
That's fair. I don't And again, you're actually bigger than
he is.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
I am. I mean Brian might be a little bit taller,
but uh no, I just feel like Brian always has
something going on, whether it's you know, football related, body work, whatever,
and I think not being busy enough would be the
first thing to kill him. What I'm saying, just drive
himself crazy.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
Your wife, Natalie, you guys have been married now since.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Twenty twenty one, so March twenty third, twenty twenty one,
so yeah, three and a half years. Yeah, Now I
can do some mental gymnastics.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
But yeah, and you took a knee in Rice Park.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
Yes, absolutely, yeah, we got engaged here. So yeah, it's great.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
Dude, twenty twenty. Is that where you're like, okay, this
is a spot. Yeah, it was a more of that.
We don't have to wear a mask out in Rice Park.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Well that was probably part of it too. Yeah, no,
she moved out. We knew we wanted to be married,
and I knew I wanted to marry or so yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
Oh good for you man, that's awesome. And now you
guys have baby.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Bo yep, baby bow five months old. Best thing ever.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
So I saw you guys.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
You posted a pic and I mean, I know it
feels like I'm like creeping on you, but I did.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
But you posted a great picture on.
Speaker 7 (05:53):
The field of baby Bo sitting in the number sixty
four one. See had the whole I'm on the tarmac,
I'm trying to direct where the plane's going to head
sets on and it all works.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
How proud I.
Speaker 7 (06:05):
Mean that if you haven't checked it out at all
on Instagram?
Speaker 6 (06:08):
What is your Instagram again?
Speaker 5 (06:09):
It's at Blake Brandle Yep, nice and straightforward.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
Yeah, yeah, you got.
Speaker 7 (06:13):
To take a look at it because it is the
smile on your face, man, right before you're about to
take the field.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
Yeah, the coolest thing.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Now, he brings me so much joy. It was. It's
always fun to see him before the game, for sure.
Speaker 7 (06:24):
Right right, right, Well then, now you and I were
talking before we got on the air here because Tuesday off,
obviously that's the day off, and Tuesdays are your day
with baby bo and Natalie's calm.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Yep, absolutely no, she holds it down, especially during the week.
You know, we're so busy, and so when I get
a full day off, it's nice to have some daddy
time and she can get out and do her thing.
Speaker 7 (06:46):
What is it like to focus on someone who's fussy
and cries, wears adorable outfits, eats a lot, and smells
like they may have just soiled themselves.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
And I'm mostly talking about defensive lineman.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Yeah no, absolutely, you know, you know, when it's your kid,
I think it's really easy. I think I mean, you
could probably say all those same things about me for
my wife, so you know we've all been there and yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
Right right, yeah, the defensive lineman can kind of stink them.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Yeah, no, I don't like those guys.
Speaker 6 (07:13):
At all except ours except ours?
Speaker 7 (07:15):
Yeah yeah, yeah, they're great. Uh how grounding is it though,
to have a little guy like that? I mean, you
just got done playing on the biggest stage, the NFL,
and then you go home and then you're on poopy diaper.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Duty, no doubt. Yeah, we it was bad time when
we got home from the Sunday night game, you know,
coming off a big win, and uh yeah, absolutely grounding.
I mean you're tired, but that guy comes first at
every point.
Speaker 7 (07:36):
So yeah, have you had one of those gravity defying
blowouts yet where you just go how how did it
get to your neck?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Absolutely? And the worst is post bath, you know, you
lay him down and he's already and then yeah, bang,
it's it's it's great. You gotta love it, right.
Speaker 6 (07:51):
I'm gonna be really honest. I'm okay, this happened my
son Grant.
Speaker 7 (07:56):
He was like Bow's age yep at the time, and
I'm ready to watch out the door with him, and
all of a sudden it was one of those those
absolute blowouts and I'm like, ah, so I just put
him in the kitchen sink and took the sprayer.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
There you go.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
He never I've.
Speaker 7 (08:10):
Never seen a smile on his face like that he's
twenty two now, I still haven't seen that smile because
he was just loving that. He's sitting there, just getting
a nice little warm spray. And then I told my wife,
She's like, where we.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Wash our dishes?
Speaker 5 (08:23):
No, I need to write that in the notes because
that sounds great.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
Obviously, Cam Robinson comes in number seventy four, traded to
the Vikings from the Jags, which will be an interesting
game coming up here on Sunday.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
Without doubt. But he comes in and he's like, basically,
he starts on Wednesday.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
And he starts on Sunday. How much of that did
you impact? How much were you a part of that?
Helping Cam to kind of figure out? Okay, I mean
obviously he's played enough in the NFL and he's a monster.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
Yeah, no doubt, but like you have to help out.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Yeah, through the through the week. I was trying to
kind of gauge that, But he is a VET and
I feel like he was able to pick up the
offense really quick, and it's not necessarily an easy offense
to pick up. You know, sometimes you're breaking the huddle.
You got multiple plays and third times during the game
we're sure, I'm giving them reminders, but it seemed like
he was on it throughout the game, and you know,
that's just a testament to his ability to lock in.
(09:22):
I mean, it's it's not easy. I can't imagine having
to learn an entire new offense in four days, and
he did it, so it was great.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
Before we get to our.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
Next segment, which features the five typically stupid vikings country questions,
love it? How piss off do you guys get when
the rap announces say your number when you know it
wasn't you, but then they don't like correct it, so
then you're just like, okay, here we go, number sixty four,
holding You're like, I wasn't a part of.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
That at all.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
It's always a head turner and you give them one
of the palms up and you know it is what
it is. They make mistakes too, just like we all do.
But yeah, you don't want to hear your number get.
Speaker 7 (09:58):
Called on the other side of that when you know
it was you and then they gave it to Bradbury.
Do you just like run off the field notes say
a word just like, oh geez, I don't know what's
going on.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
I'll probably give Garrett a couple of times in my
hay that was me. I'm not going to say anything
that was stuff. Yeah, one of those. Maybe.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
So you got baby Bow and then you got your
French bulldogs.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Frenchies yep, oh my gosh, yep.
Speaker 7 (10:19):
All over any of your Instagram stuff and everything like that.
Speaker 6 (10:23):
So what are the dog's names?
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Benny and Minnie?
Speaker 6 (10:25):
Okay, Beny and Minnie? And you guys, how old are
Benny and Minnie?
Speaker 5 (10:28):
Oh god, see you got me really thinking. Minnie is
like two and a half. Benny's four.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
Oh wow yeah nice, nice, nice, Yeah, wife friends.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Uh, they're easy, man, They're they're lazy dogs, which is
what we're looking for.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
And they you know, smaller poop bag. Yeah that too, Yeah,
that's big.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
That's a big big guy, small dog. It just makes
sense sometimes.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
So yeah, when you take them for a walk to
like people in the neighborhood, just go, what the hell's.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
They're both girls and especially when it gets cold out,
my wife lives to put the sweaters on them, and
you know, it's totally my style for sure.
Speaker 7 (11:02):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I love it.
Speaker 6 (11:05):

always makes.

the Minnesota Vikings and Hey Vikings fans. Verizon is the
official five G network of the NFL. Visit a Minnesota
Verizon store near you. And we're sitting here with our guests,
(13:00):
and I just love this guy. Blake brendel Is with
US number sixty four.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
Give it up for him here, guys, Thank.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
You everybody all those highlights. Listening to the defense, I mean,
the defense was insane. They did not give up a
touchdown against the Colts. And not only like that first half,
we don't have to really dwell on.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
That, but the second half. Man, that defense was so good.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
No, I mean they're like a freight train, man, and
once they get rolling, I don't know what you're supposed
to do as an offense against that. And they got
some great players, great scheme. It's a tough matchup.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
Did you see the Saquon Barkley backwards hurdle.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Yeah, that was absurd. I've never seen anything like that.
That dude's a freak athlete.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
You've got those kind of hops. I mean, if you
had to, like you, I.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Don't have as far to go. I guess I'm already
kind of up there. So I'm not saying I could
do that, but right, I don't know. Maybe yeah, I
like to think, so well, yeah, well what's the vert
I don't even know I jumped at the combine. I
don't even know that number off the top of my head,
but probably wasn't very high.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
All right, let's get into this, the five typically stupid
Vikings country questions.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Number one, here we go. Uh, it turns out that
you and your wife are Creed fans, absolutely Creed fans.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Who is it?
Speaker 6 (14:17):
I know, I'm the same. I absolutely love them.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
Okay, so then now you got to pick, Okay, what's
the greatest one out of these? With arms wide open?
My sacrifice higher.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Or my own prison?
Speaker 5 (14:29):
My sacrifice?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (14:30):
That was just that's my number one go to for sure.
Speaker 7 (14:34):
So now is that is that cranking up? Is Creed
cranking up in the headphones before you get ready?
Speaker 5 (14:38):
For a game, it might appear in there. Yeah, yeah,
I just like to throw it on shuffle. I can't
get too crazy locked in, and you know, the creed
gets a blood pumping, so I don't want to get
carried away. But yeah, my sacrifice for sure is my
number one.
Speaker 7 (14:49):
I like that you're keeping yourself guessing even when you're
getting ready for a game.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
I don't know what's gonna come up NeXT's gonna be awesome?
All right, here we go. Number two?
Speaker 7 (14:57):
What really happens in those piles on yardage? I know
I've talked to a lot of players over the years.
The old guys used to tell a lot awful stories.
I don't know if that still happens. What happens in
that pile, It.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
All depends, I mean, if we get it. Typically, I'm
not much of a trash talker, so I look at
myself more as a troll. I try to, you know,
laugh or do something that you know a defensive player
does not want to hear in that pile. And Sam's
always to my right, you know, And so if we
get it, I just you know, used to you know,
giving one of those.
Speaker 7 (15:30):
There's always high If I love the gav sneaks like,
you're not getting any earhole.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
I'm not doing any of that, any bunch of the
pills or anything like that. Okay, try to avoid those.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
Yeah yeah, well the old guys they were weird.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
Here we go, Number three, Top five typically stupid vikings
country questions. Fireball whiskey. Okay, here's the first thing I'm
going to say about this. And I know we're here
with Miller like you're all wooing over there. You know
who the most annoying people on the planet are the
people that have fireball whiskey.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
And here's why.
Speaker 7 (16:00):
Because they're gonna go, hey, you want some fireball, You
want some fireball. He wants fireball, You want fireball, you
want fireball. It's like they're an auctioneer about fireball. You
just take the fireball so they'll stop saying fireball.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
Fair enough, I can see what you're Yeah, I see
where're coming from.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
Do you like fireball? No? Okay?
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Really?
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (16:14):
Okay, Well you're gonna love this one because they have
come up with a with special bottles called crier Ball.
So what they're doing is that fireball is actually gonna
get the tiers of losing sports fans and they're gonna
mix them together. Yeah, and then so they're going to
teams with rivalry games. That way they can capture the
(16:35):
tiers and then sell the fireball later.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Maybe. I like fireball now, I dtand I love that idea.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
What right? All right?
Speaker 7 (16:44):
Here we go Number four, Like, uh, Sam Darnold, does
he get hot at all?
Speaker 6 (16:48):
I mean, seriously, what we see watching.
Speaker 7 (16:51):
The games and then watching him on the sidelines, it
just seems like he's always the same, even Keel. You're like,
he doesn't get fired up. I mean he did a
little upset about how he's been, you know, hitting the head.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
Two weeks ago.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
Yeah, we gotta cut that out. No, I mean he is.
He'll celebrate a touchdown for sure, But he's cool. Joe man,
he's even Keel. You can't knock that guy off his track.
It's it's awesome. I love playing for him.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
I love that, all right? Here we go. Number five.
Speaker 7 (17:18):
Toy industry insiders estimate that adults spend seven billion dollars
on toys for themselves each year, and not the toys
that you guys are thinking about. Is there actually kid toys?
And that's why toy companies are calling them adults. So
I'm guessing it's probably like a lot.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
Of like legos, you know, like the Star.
Speaker 7 (17:38):
Wars sets Home Alone, Home, Back to the Future. I
saw Jaws one there with Orca. Oh, I kind of
wanted to have that.
Speaker 6 (17:46):
Are you a adult?
Speaker 5 (17:49):
I do have some Lego sets, really, and I'm not shamed. No,
you know, I think it's one of those things where
you stop playing with legos and then eventually you get
back to your Why did I stop?
Speaker 3 (17:59):
You know?
Speaker 5 (17:59):
Right? Star Wars for sure, all the way. It's there's
something satisfying about putting something like that together, you know.
Speaker 7 (18:05):
So now when you put them together, do you have
a shelving space at the home?
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Nope, I'm married. My wife would not. My wife would
not allow that.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
No, my gosh, you can't have a stuffed beaver or
any kind of mountain.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Now. You can't have fever for sure. The stuff beavers.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
That's where you can put your foot out.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (18:21):
I can't wait for Ellie, Like, where did you ever
get this idea?
Speaker 5 (18:24):
We do have a basement for a reason. They can
go down there.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
It's really great, must make sense.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
I don't know, honey, I just really think that this
is a really good idea. Uh that terrible injuries for
Andrew Capoula and of course Will Reikert, and they've been
on absolute fire and that's just a weird thing. It's
part of the business, the next man up kind of mentality.
But uh that that has to hit everybody anytime somebody
(18:49):
goes down. I mean, of course CD.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
Yeah, going down and you're like, oh wow.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
It's it's the worst part of the game, without a doubt.
And uh, you hate seeing your brothers get hurt on
the field, and you know, especially at long snapper and kicker,
those are two positions that are usually healthy throughout the
year and so for them to get hurt at the
same game is so crazy and uh yeah, my heart
goes out to him. I hope they heal up quick.
Speaker 7 (19:13):
So when I mentioned Cam Robinson before or earlier in
the trade deadline, now is over with and of course
they do it the same day of the election. I mean,
the NFL is not going to be outshined at all,
but the Yeah, but the what is that like? And
I know you have not experienced it, but you've experienced it,
you know, just being here with the Minnesota Vikings and
(19:34):
watching people get traded and there's much more to it
because as fans we're like, oh, yeah, yeah, well this
is awesome.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
We got someone to replace this.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
But then also for that player might also be like, oh,
thank god, I'm out of.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
A situation I was in. But now you have to uproot.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
You got to move all your stuff, and now your
entire way that you prepare changes.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Yeah. No, it's it's a trip. And thankfully I've never
been traded here. My family loves it here. But uh no,
I cannot imagine you know, getting a call and in
five minutes you're thinking you're playing on Sunday. And five
minutes later, you know, after that call, you're like, well,
I need to move to you know, wherever I got
to bring my family, got to figure all that stuff out,
(20:15):
and I got to worry about learning a new playbook,
meet new people who I'm playing next to, and playing
in a game. So when you get home after a
big game, you know, even on a Sunday afternoon, or
you're done with practice and it was a rough practice
and it's been a tough week and stuff like that,
and then you get home and then Natalie's.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
Like, hey, let's go do this. Wait, how many times
have you gotten the Uh, oh no, you made plans
for us and didn't tell me.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
You know, with the baby doesn't happen quite as much,
but it did happen occasionally, and I always try to
be good sport. But yeah, that's never fun, especially when
you're a little stressed out. The nice thing about the baby,
you know, is he has no clue what's going on
in his life alone, not my life either, So you know,
coming home after a hard day and he's got a
big smile on his face, it makes puts it all
(21:05):
into perspective, makes a lot better.
Speaker 7 (21:07):
Yeah, probably because he took a big dump and you
got to take care.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
I got a surprise thing for you. Yeah, exactly right.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
Oh, Bo wants to see you really, honey. Oh you
know you did that to me. You've done that.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
You've done that before, of course I think we all
have ye shamelessly.
Speaker 6 (21:21):
Yeah. All right.
Speaker 7 (21:23):
So we got Cam, you got yourself, you got Bradbury
Ingram of course, and O'Neil. And you're going up against
this very difficult Jacksonville Jaguars defensive line.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
I mean Josh heinz Allen.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
He had what two sacks last week against the Eagles
and that loss, but he's a beast and then also
Jordan Jefferson on that side a sack as well.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
So what's the matchup look like for you guys?
Speaker 5 (21:47):
Yeah, I mean that it's the Gauntlet of the NFL,
and every week you've got a new matchup and a
guy might do something different than the last guy last week,
but everyone's really good. So you know, dive into that
tape and you know figure out, listen to the coaching
and uh, whatever they put on the tape is where
we're gonna run, and it's gonna be a great Sunday late.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
You're the best man.

Speaker 6 (01:58):
And gentlemen, Blake Brendall.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Thank you, everybody.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
How are you buddy?
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Doing? Good man?
Speaker 6 (02:04):
Good, good good.
Speaker 7 (02:05):
It's funny because everybody's like, okay, So will we know
when he walks in at six seven and three point fifteen?
Speaker 6 (02:12):
Yeah, we were gonna know.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Yeah, no, no doubt. I tend to eat up the
doorway sometime. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
So here's the thing.
Speaker 7 (02:19):
Tell me, were you one of those kids that were
always big or are you gonna give me that hole?
When I was in ninth grade, I was five ten
and I weighed one hundred and fifty pounds, and then
I went through a growth spurt.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
No, no, I've always been a big boy. I was.
I had the tape across my helmet youth football, so
I never got to touch a ball. I was an
offensive lineman from the get go. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (02:37):
All in all, they wouldn't even let you play like
te nothing terrible.
Speaker 6 (02:41):
No, No, could you throw the ball?
Speaker 5 (02:43):
I probably could, but it didn't matter, didn't it.
Speaker 7 (02:46):
So basically, what you're saying is that we had that
trick play of the double pass with JJ over to
Aaron Jones with third and sixteen, we go for twenty two.
But what I'm saying is that they're not going to
put a play in so that you get a chance.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Unfortunately not. No, my repertoire, it's devastating, right, no one
would see it coming. I could. I could try to
prove them wrong.
Speaker 7 (03:06):
Yeah, just give me a shot, coach, That's all I need.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
So you were born and grew up in Oregon.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Right, yep, yep, from Oregon, born and raised, Yeah, Oregon State,
and then you played for the Beavers.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Played for the Beaves, yep, yep, yep, yep. So it's
safe to say you're an outdoors guy.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
Uh fool, I know, I know it's crazy. I have
a great appreciation for the outdoors. Yeah I don't. I
don't find myself going out camping, hunting, fishing.
Speaker 7 (03:34):
Really, So you have no stuffed beavers at your house? No,
no stuff beavers, no nounce of any kind.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
No, I don't think my wife would like that.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
Really, she's not gonna allow that.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Shut that down. I should get one, that's you should.
Speaker 7 (03:45):
Even though if you don't hunt, just go get one, just.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
Probably in the state sale.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
I got to represent somehow.
Speaker 6 (03:50):
Yeah, no one's gonna know that you didn't.
Speaker 7 (03:51):
They're just gonna assume who puts that up in their
house and doesn't that's right, right? But no, no camping, hiking,
I mean out doors in Oregon. I mean that's kind
of the bit. I just wouldn't.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
I just wouldn't class myself classifying myself as an outdoorsman.
But we went camping growing up, don't get me wrong.
Back to the beach, went to the mountains, all that stuff. So,
oh okay, all right, all right.
Speaker 7 (04:13):
Blake Brandella is my guest here Vikings Country with Miller
like the official beer sponsor. Oh the Minnesota Vikings. So
could you survive on the woods?
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Absolutely not, No, I don't think i'd lasts long. I'll
be honest with myself. I'd like to think I could,
but you know, i'll watch all those shows or whatever
I like, I could do that. Two days in, I'm
probably done.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
On the old line.
Speaker 7 (04:32):
Who is the least likely to actually be able to
survive in the woods.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Brian O'Neill, no doubt, without a doubt, one thousand percent. Yeah. Yeah,
and I don't think I do well. I know Brian
wouldn't do well.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
Why wouldn't Brian do well? He's such a nice guy,
and he's huge. There's no bear that's going to attack him.
That's fair. I don't And again, you're actually bigger than
he is.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
I am. I mean Brian might be a little bit taller,
but uh no, I just feel like Brian always has
something going on, whether it's you know, football related, body work, whatever,
and I think not being busy enough would be the
first thing to kill him. What I'm saying, just drive
himself crazy.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
Your wife, Natalie, you guys have been married now since.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Twenty twenty one, so March twenty third, twenty twenty one,
so yeah, three and a half years. Yeah, Now I
can do some mental gymnastics.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
But yeah, and you took a knee in Rice Park.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
Yes, absolutely, yeah, we got engaged here. So yeah, it's great.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
Dude, twenty twenty. Is that where you're like, okay, this
is a spot. Yeah, it was a more of that.
We don't have to wear a mask out in Rice Park.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Well that was probably part of it too. Yeah, no,
she moved out. We knew we wanted to be married,
and I knew I wanted to marry or so yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
Oh good for you man, that's awesome. And now you
guys have baby.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Bo yep, baby bow five months old. Best thing ever.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
So I saw you guys.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
You posted a pic and I mean, I know it
feels like I'm like creeping on you, but I did.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
But you posted a great picture on.
Speaker 7 (05:53):
The field of baby Bo sitting in the number sixty
four one. See had the whole I'm on the tarmac,
I'm trying to direct where the plane's going to head
sets on and it all works.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
How proud I.
Speaker 7 (06:05):
Mean that if you haven't checked it out at all
on Instagram?
Speaker 6 (06:08):
What is your Instagram again?
Speaker 5 (06:09):
It's at Blake Brandle Yep, nice and straightforward.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
Yeah, yeah, you got.
Speaker 7 (06:13):
To take a look at it because it is the
smile on your face, man, right before you're about to
take the field.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
Yeah, the coolest thing.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Now, he brings me so much joy. It was. It's
always fun to see him before the game, for sure.
Speaker 7 (06:24):
Right right, right, Well then, now you and I were
talking before we got on the air here because Tuesday off,
obviously that's the day off, and Tuesdays are your day
with baby bo and Natalie's calm.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Yep, absolutely no, she holds it down, especially during the week.
You know, we're so busy, and so when I get
a full day off, it's nice to have some daddy
time and she can get out and do her thing.
Speaker 7 (06:46):
What is it like to focus on someone who's fussy
and cries, wears adorable outfits, eats a lot, and smells
like they may have just soiled themselves.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
And I'm mostly talking about defensive lineman.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Yeah no, absolutely, you know, you know, when it's your kid,
I think it's really easy. I think I mean, you
could probably say all those same things about me for
my wife, so you know we've all been there and yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
Right right, yeah, the defensive lineman can kind of stink them.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Yeah, no, I don't like those guys.
Speaker 6 (07:13):
At all except ours except ours?
Speaker 7 (07:15):
Yeah yeah, yeah, they're great. Uh how grounding is it though,
to have a little guy like that? I mean, you
just got done playing on the biggest stage, the NFL,
and then you go home and then you're on poopy diaper.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Duty, no doubt. Yeah, we it was bad time when
we got home from the Sunday night game, you know,
coming off a big win, and uh yeah, absolutely grounding.
I mean you're tired, but that guy comes first at
every point.
Speaker 7 (07:36):
So yeah, have you had one of those gravity defying
blowouts yet where you just go how how did it
get to your neck?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Absolutely? And the worst is post bath, you know, you
lay him down and he's already and then yeah, bang,
it's it's it's great. You gotta love it, right.
Speaker 6 (07:51):
I'm gonna be really honest. I'm okay, this happened my
son Grant.
Speaker 7 (07:56):
He was like Bow's age yep at the time, and
I'm ready to watch out the door with him, and
all of a sudden it was one of those those
absolute blowouts and I'm like, ah, so I just put
him in the kitchen sink and took the sprayer.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
There you go.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
He never I've.
Speaker 7 (08:10):
Never seen a smile on his face like that he's
twenty two now, I still haven't seen that smile because
he was just loving that. He's sitting there, just getting
a nice little warm spray. And then I told my wife,
She's like, where we.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Wash our dishes?
Speaker 5 (08:23):
No, I need to write that in the notes because
that sounds great.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
Obviously, Cam Robinson comes in number seventy four, traded to
the Vikings from the Jags, which will be an interesting
game coming up here on Sunday.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
Without doubt. But he comes in and he's like, basically,
he starts on Wednesday.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
And he starts on Sunday. How much of that did
you impact? How much were you a part of that?
Helping Cam to kind of figure out? Okay, I mean
obviously he's played enough in the NFL and he's a monster.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
Yeah, no doubt, but like you have to help out.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Yeah, through the through the week. I was trying to
kind of gauge that, But he is a VET and
I feel like he was able to pick up the
offense really quick, and it's not necessarily an easy offense
to pick up. You know, sometimes you're breaking the huddle.
You got multiple plays and third times during the game
we're sure, I'm giving them reminders, but it seemed like
he was on it throughout the game, and you know,
that's just a testament to his ability to lock in.
(09:22):
I mean, it's it's not easy. I can't imagine having
to learn an entire new offense in four days, and
he did it, so it was great.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
Before we get to our.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
Next segment, which features the five typically stupid vikings country questions,
love it? How piss off do you guys get when
the rap announces say your number when you know it
wasn't you, but then they don't like correct it, so
then you're just like, okay, here we go, number sixty four,
holding You're like, I wasn't a part of.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
That at all.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
It's always a head turner and you give them one
of the palms up and you know it is what
it is. They make mistakes too, just like we all do.
But yeah, you don't want to hear your number get.
Speaker 7 (09:58):
Called on the other side of that when you know
it was you and then they gave it to Bradbury.
Do you just like run off the field notes say
a word just like, oh geez, I don't know what's
going on.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
I'll probably give Garrett a couple of times in my
hay that was me. I'm not going to say anything
that was stuff. Yeah, one of those. Maybe.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
So you got baby Bow and then you got your
French bulldogs.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Frenchies yep, oh my gosh, yep.
Speaker 7 (10:19):
All over any of your Instagram stuff and everything like that.
Speaker 6 (10:23):

Speaker 5 (10:24):
Benny and Minnie?
Speaker 6 (10:25):
Okay, Beny and Minnie? And you guys, how old are
Benny and Minnie?
Speaker 5 (10:28):
Oh god, see you got me really thinking. Minnie is
like two and a half. Benny's four.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
Oh wow yeah nice, nice, nice, Yeah, wife friends.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Uh, they're easy, man, They're they're lazy dogs, which is
what we're looking for.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
And they you know, smaller poop bag. Yeah that too, Yeah,
that's big.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
That's a big big guy, small dog. It just makes
sense sometimes.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
So yeah, when you take them for a walk to
like people in the neighborhood, just go, what the hell's.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
They're both girls and especially when it gets cold out,
my wife lives to put the sweaters on them, and
you know, it's totally my style for sure.
Speaker 7 (11:02):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I love it.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
You spend money on attire for your dog. Yeah, it
always makes.

and I just love this guy. Blake brendel Is with
US number sixty four.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
Give it up for him here, guys, Thank.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
You everybody all those highlights. Listening to the defense, I mean,
the defense was insane. They did not give up a
touchdown against the Colts. And not only like that first half,
we don't have to really dwell on.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
That, but the second half. Man, that defense was so good.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
No, I mean they're like a freight train, man, and
once they get rolling, I don't know what you're supposed
to do as an offense against that. And they got
some great players, great scheme. It's a tough matchup.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
Did you see the Saquon Barkley backwards hurdle.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Yeah, that was absurd. I've never seen anything like that.
That dude's a freak athlete.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
You've got those kind of hops. I mean, if you
had to, like you, I.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Don't have as far to go. I guess I'm already
kind of up there. So I'm not saying I could
do that, but right, I don't know. Maybe yeah, I
like to think, so well, yeah, well what's the vert
I don't even know I jumped at the combine. I
don't even know that number off the top of my head,
but probably wasn't very high.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
All right, let's get into this, the five typically stupid
Vikings country questions.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Number one, here we go. Uh, it turns out that
you and your wife are Creed fans, absolutely Creed fans.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Who is it?
Speaker 6 (14:17):
I know, I'm the same. I absolutely love them.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
Okay, so then now you got to pick, Okay, what's
the greatest one out of these? With arms wide open?
My sacrifice higher.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Or my own prison?
Speaker 5 (14:29):
My sacrifice?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (14:30):
That was just that's my number one go to for sure.
Speaker 7 (14:34):
So now is that is that cranking up? Is Creed
cranking up in the headphones before you get ready?
Speaker 5 (14:38):
For a game, it might appear in there. Yeah, yeah,
I just like to throw it on shuffle. I can't
get too crazy locked in, and you know, the creed
gets a blood pumping, so I don't want to get
carried away. But yeah, my sacrifice for sure is my
number one.
Speaker 7 (14:49):
I like that you're keeping yourself guessing even when you're
getting ready for a game.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
I don't know what's gonna come up NeXT's gonna be awesome?
All right, here we go. Number two?
Speaker 7 (14:57):
What really happens in those piles on yardage? I know
I've talked to a lot of players over the years.
The old guys used to tell a lot awful stories.
I don't know if that still happens. What happens in
that pile, It.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
All depends, I mean, if we get it. Typically, I'm
not much of a trash talker, so I look at
myself more as a troll. I try to, you know,
laugh or do something that you know a defensive player
does not want to hear in that pile. And Sam's
always to my right, you know, And so if we
get it, I just you know, used to you know,
giving one of those.
Speaker 7 (15:30):
There's always high If I love the gav sneaks like,
you're not getting any earhole.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
I'm not doing any of that, any bunch of the
pills or anything like that. Okay, try to avoid those.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
Yeah yeah, well the old guys they were weird.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
Here we go, Number three, Top five typically stupid vikings
country questions. Fireball whiskey. Okay, here's the first thing I'm
going to say about this. And I know we're here
with Miller like you're all wooing over there. You know
who the most annoying people on the planet are the
people that have fireball whiskey.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
And here's why.
Speaker 7 (16:00):
Because they're gonna go, hey, you want some fireball, You
want some fireball. He wants fireball, You want fireball, you
want fireball. It's like they're an auctioneer about fireball. You
just take the fireball so they'll stop saying fireball.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
Fair enough, I can see what you're Yeah, I see
where're coming from.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
Do you like fireball? No? Okay?
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Really?
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (16:14):
Okay, Well you're gonna love this one because they have
come up with a with special bottles called crier Ball.
So what they're doing is that fireball is actually gonna
get the tiers of losing sports fans and they're gonna
mix them together. Yeah, and then so they're going to
teams with rivalry games. That way they can capture the
(16:35):
tiers and then sell the fireball later.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Maybe. I like fireball now, I dtand I love that idea.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
What right? All right?
Speaker 7 (16:44):
Here we go Number four, Like, uh, Sam Darnold, does
he get hot at all?
Speaker 6 (16:48):
I mean, seriously, what we see watching.
Speaker 7 (16:51):
The games and then watching him on the sidelines, it
just seems like he's always the same, even Keel. You're like,
he doesn't get fired up. I mean he did a
little upset about how he's been, you know, hitting the head.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
Two weeks ago.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
Yeah, we gotta cut that out. No, I mean he is.
He'll celebrate a touchdown for sure, But he's cool. Joe man,
he's even Keel. You can't knock that guy off his track.
It's it's awesome. I love playing for him.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
I love that, all right? Here we go. Number five.
Speaker 7 (17:18):
Toy industry insiders estimate that adults spend seven billion dollars
on toys for themselves each year, and not the toys
that you guys are thinking about. Is there actually kid toys?
And that's why toy companies are calling them adults. So
I'm guessing it's probably like a lot.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
Of like legos, you know, like the Star.
Speaker 7 (17:38):
Wars sets Home Alone, Home, Back to the Future. I
saw Jaws one there with Orca. Oh, I kind of
wanted to have that.
Speaker 6 (17:46):
Are you a adult?
Speaker 5 (17:49):
I do have some Lego sets, really, and I'm not shamed. No,
you know, I think it's one of those things where
you stop playing with legos and then eventually you get
back to your Why did I stop?
Speaker 3 (17:59):
You know?
Speaker 5 (17:59):
Right? Star Wars for sure, all the way. It's there's
something satisfying about putting something like that together, you know.
Speaker 7 (18:05):
So now when you put them together, do you have
a shelving space at the home?
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Nope, I'm married. My wife would not. My wife would
not allow that.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
No, my gosh, you can't have a stuffed beaver or
any kind of mountain.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Now. You can't have fever for sure. The stuff beavers.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
That's where you can put your foot out.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (18:21):
I can't wait for Ellie, Like, where did you ever
get this idea?
Speaker 5 (18:24):
We do have a basement for a reason. They can
go down there.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
It's really great, must make sense.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
I don't know, honey, I just really think that this
is a really good idea. Uh that terrible injuries for
Andrew Capoula and of course Will Reikert, and they've been
on absolute fire and that's just a weird thing. It's
part of the business, the next man up kind of mentality.
But uh that that has to hit everybody anytime somebody
(18:49):
goes down. I mean, of course CD.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
Yeah, going down and you're like, oh wow.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
It's it's the worst part of the game, without a doubt.
And uh, you hate seeing your brothers get hurt on
the field, and you know, especially at long snapper and kicker,
those are two positions that are usually healthy throughout the
year and so for them to get hurt at the
same game is so crazy and uh yeah, my heart
goes out to him. I hope they heal up quick.
Speaker 7 (19:13):
So when I mentioned Cam Robinson before or earlier in
the trade deadline, now is over with and of course
they do it the same day of the election. I mean,
the NFL is not going to be outshined at all,
but the Yeah, but the what is that like? And
I know you have not experienced it, but you've experienced it,
you know, just being here with the Minnesota Vikings and
(19:34):
watching people get traded and there's much more to it
because as fans we're like, oh, yeah, yeah, well this
is awesome.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
We got someone to replace this.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
But then also for that player might also be like, oh,
thank god, I'm out of.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
A situation I was in. But now you have to uproot.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
You got to move all your stuff, and now your
entire way that you prepare changes.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Yeah. No, it's it's a trip. And thankfully I've never
been traded here. My family loves it here. But uh no,
I cannot imagine you know, getting a call and in
five minutes you're thinking you're playing on Sunday. And five
minutes later, you know, after that call, you're like, well,
I need to move to you know, wherever I got
to bring my family, got to figure all that stuff out,
(20:15):
and I got to worry about learning a new playbook,
meet new people who I'm playing next to, and playing
in a game. So when you get home after a
big game, you know, even on a Sunday afternoon, or
you're done with practice and it was a rough practice
and it's been a tough week and stuff like that,
and then you get home and then Natalie's.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
Like, hey, let's go do this. Wait, how many times
have you gotten the Uh, oh no, you made plans
for us and didn't tell me.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
You know, with the baby doesn't happen quite as much,
but it did happen occasionally, and I always try to
be good sport. But yeah, that's never fun, especially when
you're a little stressed out. The nice thing about the baby,
you know, is he has no clue what's going on
in his life alone, not my life either, So you know,
coming home after a hard day and he's got a
big smile on his face, it makes puts it all
(21:05):
into perspective, makes a lot better.
Speaker 7 (21:07):
Yeah, probably because he took a big dump and you
got to take care.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
I got a surprise thing for you. Yeah, exactly right.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
Oh, Bo wants to see you really, honey. Oh you
know you did that to me. You've done that.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
You've done that before, of course I think we all
have ye shamelessly.
Speaker 6 (21:21):
Yeah. All right.
Speaker 7 (21:23):
So we got Cam, you got yourself, you got Bradbury
Ingram of course, and O'Neil. And you're going up against
this very difficult Jacksonville Jaguars defensive line.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
I mean Josh heinz Allen.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
He had what two sacks last week against the Eagles
and that loss, but he's a beast and then also
Jordan Jefferson on that side a sack as well.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
So what's the matchup look like for you guys?
Speaker 5 (21:47):
Yeah, I mean that it's the Gauntlet of the NFL,
and every week you've got a new matchup and a
guy might do something different than the last guy last week,
but everyone's really good. So you know, dive into that
tape and you know figure out, listen to the coaching
and uh, whatever they put on the tape is where
we're gonna run, and it's gonna be a great Sunday late.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
You're the best man.
Speaker 7 (22:08):
