of one of those people and justsay I can't cry about anything. I
can't. I can't help it atall. So that sweet she show on
your days off away from football,you watch more football? Yeah I do.
I enjoyed football, especially this earlyin the season when you're just football
is finally starting. You got throughtraining camp and got through preseason, especially
(02:50):
with the Vikings, we didn't reallyget much playing time in preseason, so
you're just so thirsty to get somefootball. And now that it's here,
I'm watching all the college games,watching everything I possibly can, football movies,
and just living and breathing football.At this point, cam uh,
offseason, a lot of things happenin your life away from Yes, the
football field, you got married,man did Yeah, congratulations? Thank you?
(03:15):
It's fun. I'm a new man. Why I mean no congratulations?
Sorry, I've been buried for twentyfour years. That's why I say one,
but no congratulations that. Yeah,it was fun. Didn't in the
Philippines. Nice. I was ableto spend my whole off season out there.
My wife should be here pretty soon, so but it would be her
(03:35):
first NFL game, first football gameever really once he gets out here.
So I'm excited for that. Andthen with the Chargers game coming up,
we'll talk a little bit about thatcoming up on the way here. Because
you know this show, we justtalked about stupid stuff, but you have
you have a fair amount of family. I mean growing up in California.
Ye, were you guys Chargers fans? Fun Funny enough, I played for
(03:58):
the Corona Chargers all my youth football, right, So I kind of had
to be a Charger fan because Iwas the closest team to us, and
I was also the youth team Iwas playing for. So I wouldn't say
I was a Charger fan. Itis kind of like, Okay, that's
the only team you could route forbecause you play for the Chargers. So
I would say halfway, but forsure not anymore. When you have a
(04:18):
family members coming to the game,they're not gonna wear Chargers. Yeah,
no, my family, anybody that'sa Charger fan. I know my barber
and his wife are coming to thegame and they're they're die hard Charger fans.
But I said, I'm not.No field passes, no game tickets
unless you wear a Viking jersey.So they bought my jersey. So I'm
like, okay, you guys,you guys get no pictures with I'm not
(04:41):
taking if you guys wear any Chargergear, I'm not taking a picture with
you. I don't care if youflew out. We're here at Malone's and
it's Vikings Country with Miller Light andour friends with Dizzy as well here and
you can stop out out. We'regiving away tickets in the Miller Light Lounge.
Should go and see the Minnesota Vikingstaking on San Francisco later on this
season, so that would be ahuge game. I thought it was interesting
(05:03):
because I was looking at I don'tknow, I still call it Twitter even
though it's X. Yeah, butKobe Bryant right there when you go to
your page, when you go toyou go look at cam Bezy right with
the underscore at the end, whichalways screws me up just a little bit.
It's annoying I have to put that. But somebody took kem vzy and
(05:24):
like, somebody take this guy's accountand give it to me. But you
you have a you have a picturethere and it's a Kevin Garnett when he
was with the Boston Celtics is inthe foreground and then uh kolbe uh Kobe
there that's still sitting up there.What is the connection really the Mamba mentality
and really how I model my gameand really just my mindset of training.
(05:46):
Really everything I do in sports ishaving that mentality of the picture is them,
Kobe and Kevin Garnett to two ofthe biggest dogs in sports arguing going
at it in the finals. Andthat's just my mindset. Always just be
regardless of how much you're talking,you your play better show on the field,
and you better just be a dogout there. Let's go back to
your marriage and your wedding and everythinglike that, because you play piano.
(06:11):
That was one of the first thingsthat you bought yourself when you got your
country. Yeah, that was apiano show. Did you go the cheap
out and then decide instead of gettingan organist and have to pay a stipend
at the church, that you justplayed yourself. No, I'm not that
good yet. I'd be too nervousand crying too much. I could.
I could barely speak my vows,so I couldn't even I couldn't imagine trying
(06:32):
to play a song myself. Butfunny, I brought my friend that I
met out here that I bought thepiano from. Yeah, I remember,
I told you the story where Iwas looking for a car wash, ended
up stumbling upon the piano place andmy friend that I made there that sold
me the piano. I flew himto the Philippines to play at my wedding.
Oh very good. I needed afull circle moment to play at my
(06:53):
wedding. And because he's the onethat got me my first piano, so
that was cool for having him there. And but yeah, no chance,
I was playing myself. What isthe go to song that you actually can
play? I mean, this isprobably I'm guessing this is how you lock
down that whole opportunity with now yourwife where you're like, I mean,
you're smooth if you're playing the piano. I mean that that that's a good
(07:15):
pickup. I know. We talkedabout Brian McKnight, yet I'm not that
good enough to play his music.I'm still trying to learn on YouTube his
stuff. But a song I learnedrecently was all My Life by Casey and
Jojo. Okay, and I'm learningthat right now. I was practicing that
before I got here. That's whyI was a few minutes late. But
(07:36):
yeah, that's that's what I've beentrying to practice and learn it secretly until
my wife gets here so I couldsurprise it once she gets here. Very
nice. Yeah, just the rosepedals, Yeah, man, I love
it. Yeah. Uh So,Brian mcnight, you mentioned that the last
(07:58):
time with us, are you stilllistening to love songs as you get geared
up for games? Because most playersare sitting there just jamming away. I'm
you know, Thunderstruck that yeah,or Metallica or Yeah, they're just jamming
some heavy music and you're listening tothe love song. Still listening to my
(08:18):
love songs. I kind of evolveda little and grew up to go from
love songs. Then my last songbefore I go out is gonna be some
reggae to try and get me inthe vacation mode, so to get my
mind back on vacation and having funwhile I'm out there playing. So I've
graduated from the heartbreak music to littlereggae to just one song though everything else,
heartbreak Music the only one going outon the field and actually has a
(08:41):
tear in their eye because because atthe moment when I'm listening to the song,
cam buying them is my guest hereBikings Country with Miller Light. We're
here at Malone Stop on Out.We're here on KFA until seven o'clock,
but we're also here until eight thirtygiving away tickets in the Miller Light Lounge
(09:01):
Monday Night Football interesting this year wherethey're not even just doing doubleheaders, they're
overlapping games. Yeah, it doesn'tfeel weird. It's confusing. I thought
it was. I thought they wereplaying like a replay yesterday when I was
watching the Browns and the Steelers gameand I saw the Panthers and the Saints,
I was like, is this isthis old? Then I saw Bryce
(09:24):
Young playing, I was like,oh, no, that's right now.
So it was weird. I didn'tunderstand. But I'm like, I guess
more football and makes it. Iguess spread out the spread the love with
the football because it's crowded on Sunday, trying to catch all the games at
one time, especially when I havethe Sunday ticket and there's like six games
on at one time, and likethat's kind of tough to keep up with.
So I like it, did youhappen to catch the Chris Stapleton and
(09:46):
Snoop DOGG? No? I didnot, Oh who was that? On
the They did a Monday Night Footballanthem to oh yeah good, oh yeah,
are you kidding me? Stapleton?It's a hit of it. Snoop
Dog always, you can never missSnoop dogg. Is that that's a weird
mix. It isn't really, butit was. It was actually really really
(10:09):
good. I ended up catching that. Okay, we gotta talk a little
football. Okay, here we go. Uh seven turnovers? Uh we're negative
six and the take give four turnoversin the red zone most or fumbles our
turnovers. Kind of like if someoneyawns in a room, you're gonna yawn
(10:30):
too, or are they contagious?Does it just all sudden like man,
once it starts happening and it justkeeps on happening. I would say on
the defensive end getting turnovers, onceyou get one, they start to stack
up. So yeah, I canspeak for us, I can't speak much
for the offense, but I knowthat those are just mistakes that have been
made. But it's not going tobe a consistent thing, especially with the
(10:52):
type of players that we have.Miss not guys that are gonna be consistently
making those mistakes and losing the balland people that have a history of doing
that. It's it's really been Idon't I wouldn't call it a fluke,
but it's it's not going to keephappening. So that's where we have hope
and we know that there's not goingto be it's not gonna be a reoccurring
(11:13):
theme with our offense and with ourdefense. Forget what the offense is doing.
We have to take create more turnovers, and that's we get, that's
in our hands. So we've onlycreated one turnover in two games. So
we take responsibility for having the negativeturnover margin and not being positive on that
because as much as people want totalk about the offense defense, we're not
(11:33):
doing our job taking the ball asmuch as we should. Can't. We
want to go into some more heavyfootball, like you ready for this?
You ready for this? Justin Herbertwho you played against right in college.
The dude throws off kind of aBrad Pitt aura, so he kind of
looks like Brad Pitt. Yeah,he's a handsome, handsome man, especially
(11:54):
you have the flow going, Ohman, are you kidding me? Are
you a Brad Pitt fan? Icouldn't call myself a fan because I probably
can't name too many movies. He'sreally not one Brad Pitt movie. Is
it Moneyball? Someone? What's that? Is? He? And mister and
missus Smith? Yeah? Okay,oh yeah, yeah, that movie is
(12:16):
good. Yeah, yeah, that'sgood. But yeah, so Herbert,
I think he looks like a lotlike Brad Pitt. And I can't really
pin what is my absolute favorite movie? Meet Joe Black. Now, I
didn't like that one. Fight Clubis really good. If you've seen that?
What, I haven't seen a lotof movies. I suppose it was
that's why I was watching movies becausepossibly I'll give you a list of Oceans
(12:37):
eleven at least right that what afterthese movies I wasn't allowed to watch growing
up? Right right now? Ihave you've seen money Ball? At least?
No, I haven't seen anything.Well, they're just went three pages
in my notes. There are anAdam Sandler guy. Oh yeah, The
(12:58):
sad Man is absolutely the best bestAdam Sandler movie in your opinion. I
am asking this question slowly so thatway you get a chance to actually think
about it, because Adam Sandler isthe bomb recently off top of my head.
Just go with it. Oh really, it's a loved one. That
(13:18):
one like made me feel good inside. He loves Ballace, I like chick
Flick. So yeah, we gotmore coming up here on the way.
We're at Malone's This is Vikings Countrywith Miller Light, and our friends are
busy as well. Stop out outhere. We're here until eight thirty giving
away tickets in the Miller Light Loungeto watch your Minnesota Vikings at US Banks
(13:41):
Stadium. More coming up on theway next on the fan. Now,
here's your host of country from theVikings Radio Network. Must I wouldn't miss
the bed because I love the Vikingfrom Rennick from his front side half left.
Put Jefferson five breaches for the endzone and he's George Justin called it
(14:05):
at the five yard line and hegot down to the one. So that's
a catch of thirty yards with thirtythree seconds to go in the first half.
Excellent catch by Jefferson first in GoldMinnesota. Wow, what is what
a great job? That's a that'sa questionable thing. I don't know if
they want to look at this andsee if you fumbled it, because if
(14:26):
he fumbled it out of bombs inthe end zone, it's a touchback and
it's Philadelphia's ball ready Yep? Allright? Hi, let me welcome to
everybody to the California. Here wegot now can't bite them is my guests
here. It's Vikings Country, tonsof Vikings fans, and we got sitting
(14:48):
here at Malone's in Maple Grove.We play that coming back now only because
I want you to feel like you'reat home. It's Corona, right,
yep, Corona, California. Corona, California, And uh, what what's
life like in Corona? I meanwhat, let's see, pretty slow,
good good weather. Yeah, niceand hot in the summer, not too
(15:11):
cold in the winter time. Butreally I like because it's close enough to
the beach, but not beach prices. So it's like, yeah, thirty
five minutes from the beach, butwhen you get to escape the multiplying by
ten house prices right exactly. Sonow is that where you reside outside of
Minnesota or are you just standing inMinnesota? I mean my off season this
(15:35):
whole year, I was barely inCalifornia because I was in the Philippines at
all time. Yeah. Yeah,my family's home. We're still there.
Got you, got you, gotyou. The other reason I played that
whole thing coming back here and BrettBlakemore is doing a great job. Robbie
Rosenhouse is back there as well,back at the studios. But that's the
dumbest rule I've seen ever in theNFL that still exists when you have Justin
(15:58):
Jon reaching for the pylon and thenhe I mean, it is the rule,
but it's a dumb rule, especiallyabout what they do afterwards touch back,
they get the ball to twenty.What are we doing here? It
doesn't make sense. Obviously, that'sthe rules, so you can't change it.
But it's just one of those thingsthat never happens, and when it
(16:19):
does happen, you're reminded, likethat should be the reward for fumbling out
of that, like we should atleast get the I don't know, I
can't even Yeah, you can't changeyour rules, but it's so rare that
when you're reminded that that's the rulefor it, it's kind of disappointing.
You have a foundation that you startedup, yes, tell us a little
bit about that. It's called BindomFaith Foundation, and it's really a foundation
(16:41):
to really help anybody in need andrestarted with the typhoon victims in the Philippines
and partnering up with our church outthere to really bring any any needs that
they need. So for typhoon victims, it was like clean water. It
was fans because there there's no legatricity to stay cool out there. Rice.
(17:03):
It's really any food packs that wecan give. Then it kind of
evolved back in our hometown also bringingschool supplies to people, so kind of
just assessing the needs of our communityand figure out what we can do to
help people and out here, butalso in the Philippines is where we've done
the most stuff. All Right,it's time for five typically stupid vikings country
questions. We're gonna do four becausethe first one I had already. We
(17:26):
talked about Brian McKnight and your lovesongs. Yeah, and then that's not
gonna change. Yeah, I lovesongs and reggae right before you get out
on the field, which I absolutelylove about. The National Choy Hall of
Fame just announced the finalists four.They're twenty twenty three class. It includes
the game Battleship, which is sucha cool game until you have to play
(17:48):
it, right, Like it's justit's it's the pieces are cooler than the
actual right, that's the little gamewith the grid and yeah, the boats,
yeah, the battleship itself. Yeah, that gave you forever as a
kid. Oh yeah, and thenyeah and then someone would have to go
to the bathroom, and of courseyou would cheat exactly you look over it
and then you say, okay,you just go start going in a line,
(18:08):
or I'd cheat and bend my littleboat so it'd be in an angle
so they can't just guess the gridsstraight up. Bop. It was one
Kendall, which is obviously with Barbieand everything being huge teenage mutant Ninja Turtles
watch when you were growing up waslike your favorite toy and when was your
favorite? I went through phases.I went through a long phase of remote
(18:32):
control cars. Oh yeah, andlike I would save all my Christmas money
and try and get like the expensiveones, a few hundred dollar ones,
and I'd sit there and like powerup the engine, get like a LiPo
battery so it could drive extra fast. And then I went into a phase
with remote control helicopter. But we'rein the board games for a while,
and I like shoots and ladders andMonopoly was talking about a long Yeah,
(18:57):
that took forever. I never hadto actually finish it, but we don't
want. We just tried to stackas much money as possible. Boy,
once we got tired of playing,who ever had the most money one.
Yeah, board because they're upset.Yeah, no way, we're playing the
right way. Here's another one foryou, George. Do you know what
those are? Shorts? George areback in fashion? Not for me?
(19:21):
Not for me? Yeah, Ican't do it. Do you get ready
for a game? Are you definitelythinking about your fit? No? What
I'm wearing today, My sweatpants andsweater is what I wear for game day.
I like being comfortable. I mightthrow I say I do one fit,
one outfit a year. Yeah,dress nice one time a year.
But I'm not there. I'm notthe fashion guy. Surprisingly, I have
(19:42):
a fashion Ova deal right now thatI do. So it's kind of off
character because I don't like dressing up, but I have to. Yeah,
so it's kind of it's kind ofoff brand, but it pays the bills.
Let's talk about our matchup we gotagainst the Chargers coming up here on
Sunday. US make stay And we'vealready talked about Justin Herbert and the fact
that you hate all Brad Pitt's movies. He's got five hundred and thirty four
(20:06):
yards so far, three touchdowns.He's throwing a completion percentage of sixty seven
point six. It's those targets thathe has that really are a tough matchup
from what you guys are doing.Yeah, they have a really good team
overall. Their offensive line is reallysolid, good skilled positions too, especially
Cali alumni Keenan Allen. A lotof respect for him, and then obviously
(20:30):
I've been going against Justin Herbert fora while now, going against him in
college, so I have a lotof respect for him and what he does.
But they have a for sure acomplete team and a good roster,
and I think it's gonna be reallyexciting to be able to go against the
competition like that, and be ableto go against really a veteran group like
with Keenan, with Herbert, andbeing able to go against those guys.
(20:52):
It's always fun having a good competitionlike that. You mentioned THEO Jackson and
getting the interception. Of course,you got him to tell us out out
there yourself, Harry, what doyou like about b Flows defense, especially
with the the extra shape. Iwas gonna say I'm biased because we have
like four four safeties on the fieldat sometime, so but I really love
(21:14):
the defense because he lets us reallyplay free

I was playing myself. What isthe go to song that you actually can
play? I mean, this isprobably I'm guessing this is how you lock
down that whole opportunity with now yourwife where you're like, I mean,
you're smooth if you're playing the piano. I mean that that that's a good
(07:15):
pickup. I know. We talkedabout Brian McKnight, yet I'm not that
good enough to play his music.I'm still trying to learn on YouTube his
stuff. But a song I learnedrecently was all My Life by Casey and
Jojo. Okay, and I'm learningthat right now. I was practicing that
before I got here. That's whyI was a few minutes late. But
(07:36):
yeah, that's that's what I've beentrying to practice and learn it secretly until
my wife gets here so I couldsurprise it once she gets here. Very
nice. Yeah, just the rosepedals, Yeah, man, I love
it. Yeah. Uh So,Brian mcnight, you mentioned that the last
(07:58):
time with us, are you stilllistening to love songs as you get geared
up for games? Because most playersare sitting there just jamming away. I'm
you know, Thunderstruck that yeah,or Metallica or Yeah, they're just jamming
some heavy music and you're listening tothe love song. Still listening to my
(08:18):
love songs. I kind of evolveda little and grew up to go from
love songs. Then my last songbefore I go out is gonna be some
reggae to try and get me inthe vacation mode, so to get my
mind back on vacation and having funwhile I'm out there playing. So I've
graduated from the heartbreak music to littlereggae to just one song though everything else,
heartbreak Music the only one going outon the field and actually has a
(08:41):
tear in their eye because because atthe moment when I'm listening to the song,
cam buying them is my guest hereBikings Country with Miller Light. We're
here at Malone Stop on Out.We're here on KFA until seven o'clock,
but we're also here until eight thirtygiving away tickets in the Miller Light Lounge
(09:01):
Monday Night Football interesting this year wherethey're not even just doing doubleheaders, they're
overlapping games. Yeah, it doesn'tfeel weird. It's confusing. I thought
it was. I thought they wereplaying like a replay yesterday when I was
watching the Browns and the Steelers gameand I saw the Panthers and the Saints,
I was like, is this isthis old? Then I saw Bryce
(09:24):
Young playing, I was like,oh, no, that's right now.
So it was weird. I didn'tunderstand. But I'm like, I guess
more football and makes it. Iguess spread out the spread the love with
the football because it's crowded on Sunday, trying to catch all the games at
one time, especially when I havethe Sunday ticket and there's like six games
on at one time, and likethat's kind of tough to keep up with.
So I like it, did youhappen to catch the Chris Stapleton and
(09:46):
Snoop DOGG? No? I didnot, Oh who was that? On
the They did a Monday Night Footballanthem to oh yeah good, oh yeah,
are you kidding me? Stapleton?It's a hit of it. Snoop
Dog always, you can never missSnoop dogg. Is that that's a weird
mix. It isn't really, butit was. It was actually really really
(10:09):
good. I ended up catching that. Okay, we gotta talk a little
football. Okay, here we go. Uh seven turnovers? Uh we're negative
six and the take give four turnoversin the red zone most or fumbles our
turnovers. Kind of like if someoneyawns in a room, you're gonna yawn
(10:30):
too, or are they contagious?Does it just all sudden like man,
once it starts happening and it justkeeps on happening. I would say on
the defensive end getting turnovers, onceyou get one, they start to stack
up. So yeah, I canspeak for us, I can't speak much
for the offense, but I knowthat those are just mistakes that have been
made. But it's not going tobe a consistent thing, especially with the
(10:52):
type of players that we have.Miss not guys that are gonna be consistently
making those mistakes and losing the balland people that have a history of doing
that. It's it's really been Idon't I wouldn't call it a fluke,
but it's it's not going to keephappening. So that's where we have hope
and we know that there's not goingto be it's not gonna be a reoccurring
(11:13):
theme with our offense and with ourdefense. Forget what the offense is doing.
We have to take create more turnovers, and that's we get, that's
in our hands. So we've onlycreated one turnover in two games. So
we take responsibility for having the negativeturnover margin and not being positive on that
because as much as people want totalk about the offense defense, we're not
(11:33):
doing our job taking the ball asmuch as we should. Can't. We
want to go into some more heavyfootball, like you ready for this?
You ready for this? Justin Herbertwho you played against right in college.
The dude throws off kind of aBrad Pitt aura, so he kind of
looks like Brad Pitt. Yeah,he's a handsome, handsome man, especially
(11:54):
you have the flow going, Ohman, are you kidding me? Are
you a Brad Pitt fan? Icouldn't call myself a fan because I probably
can't name too many movies. He'sreally not one Brad Pitt movie. Is
it Moneyball? Someone? What's that? Is? He? And mister and
missus Smith? Yeah? Okay,oh yeah, yeah, that movie is
(12:16):
good. Yeah, yeah, that'sgood. But yeah, so Herbert,
I think he looks like a lotlike Brad Pitt. And I can't really
pin what is my absolute favorite movie? Meet Joe Black. Now, I
didn't like that one. Fight Clubis really good. If you've seen that?
What, I haven't seen a lotof movies. I suppose it was
that's why I was watching movies becausepossibly I'll give you a list of Oceans
(12:37):
eleven at least right that what afterthese movies I wasn't allowed to watch growing
up? Right right now? Ihave you've seen money Ball? At least?
No, I haven't seen anything.Well, they're just went three pages
in my notes. There are anAdam Sandler guy. Oh yeah, The
(12:58):
sad Man is absolutely the best bestAdam Sandler movie in your opinion. I
am asking this question slowly so thatway you get a chance to actually think
about it, because Adam Sandler isthe bomb recently off top of my head.
Just go with it. Oh really, it's a loved one. That
(13:18):
one like made me feel good inside. He loves Ballace, I like chick
Flick. So yeah, we gotmore coming up here on the way.
We're at Malone's This is Vikings Countrywith Miller Light, and our friends are
busy as well. Stop out outhere. We're here until eight thirty giving
away tickets in the Miller Light Loungeto watch your Minnesota Vikings at US Banks
(13:41):
Stadium. More coming up on theway next on the fan. Now,
here's your host of country from theVikings Radio Network. Must I wouldn't miss
the bed because I love the Vikingfrom Rennick from his front side half left.
Put Jefferson five breaches for the endzone and he's George Justin called it
(14:05):
at the five yard line and hegot down to the one. So that's
a catch of thirty yards with thirtythree seconds to go in the first half.
Excellent catch by Jefferson first in GoldMinnesota. Wow, what is what
a great job? That's a that'sa questionable thing. I don't know if
they want to look at this andsee if you fumbled it, because if
(14:26):
he fumbled it out of bombs inthe end zone, it's a touchback and
it's Philadelphia's ball ready Yep? Allright? Hi, let me welcome to
everybody to the California. Here wegot now can't bite them is my guests
here. It's Vikings Country, tonsof Vikings fans, and we got sitting
(14:48):
here at Malone's in Maple Grove.We play that coming back now only because
I want you to feel like you'reat home. It's Corona, right,
yep, Corona, California. Corona, California, And uh, what what's
life like in Corona? I meanwhat, let's see, pretty slow,
good good weather. Yeah, niceand hot in the summer, not too
(15:11):
cold in the winter time. Butreally I like because it's close enough to
the beach, but not beach prices. So it's like, yeah, thirty
five minutes from the beach, butwhen you get to escape the multiplying by
ten house prices right exactly. Sonow is that where you reside outside of
Minnesota or are you just standing inMinnesota? I mean my off season this
(15:35):
whole year, I was barely inCalifornia because I was in the Philippines at
all time. Yeah. Yeah,my family's home. We're still there.
Got you, got you, gotyou. The other reason I played that
whole thing coming back here and BrettBlakemore is doing a great job. Robbie
Rosenhouse is back there as well,back at the studios. But that's the
dumbest rule I've seen ever in theNFL that still exists when you have Justin
(15:58):
Jon reaching for the pylon and thenhe I mean, it is the rule,
but it's a dumb rule, especiallyabout what they do afterwards touch back,
they get the ball to twenty.What are we doing here? It
doesn't make sense. Obviously, that'sthe rules, so you can't change it.
But it's just one of those thingsthat never happens, and when it
(16:19):
does happen, you're reminded, likethat should be the reward for fumbling out
of that, like we should atleast get the I don't know, I
can't even Yeah, you can't changeyour rules, but it's so rare that
when you're reminded that that's the rulefor it, it's kind of disappointing.
You have a foundation that you startedup, yes, tell us a little
bit about that. It's called BindomFaith Foundation, and it's really a foundation
(16:41):
to really help anybody in need andrestarted with the typhoon victims in the Philippines
and partnering up with our church outthere to really bring any any needs that
they need. So for typhoon victims, it was like clean water. It
was fans because there there's no legatricity to stay cool out there. Rice.
(17:03):
It's really any food packs that wecan give. Then it kind of
evolved back in our hometown also bringingschool supplies to people, so kind of
just assessing the needs of our communityand figure out what we can do to
help people and out here, butalso in the Philippines is where we've done
the most stuff. All Right,it's time for five typically stupid vikings country
questions. We're gonna do four becausethe first one I had already. We
(17:26):
talked about Brian McKnight and your lovesongs. Yeah, and then that's not
gonna change. Yeah, I lovesongs and reggae right before you get out
on the field, which I absolutelylove about. The National Choy Hall of
Fame just announced the finalists four.They're twenty twenty three class. It includes
the game Battleship, which is sucha cool game until you have to play
(17:48):
it, right, Like it's justit's it's the pieces are cooler than the
actual right, that's the little gamewith the grid and yeah, the boats,
yeah, the battleship itself. Yeah, that gave you forever as a
kid. Oh yeah, and thenyeah and then someone would have to go
to the bathroom, and of courseyou would cheat exactly you look over it
and then you say, okay,you just go start going in a line,
(18:08):
or I'd cheat and bend my littleboat so it'd be in an angle
so they can't just guess the gridsstraight up. Bop. It was one
Kendall, which is obviously with Barbieand everything being huge teenage mutant Ninja Turtles
watch when you were growing up waslike your favorite toy and when was your
favorite? I went through phases.I went through a long phase of remote
(18:32):
control cars. Oh yeah, andlike I would save all my Christmas money
and try and get like the expensiveones, a few hundred dollar ones,
and I'd sit there and like powerup the engine, get like a LiPo
battery so it could drive extra fast. And then I went into a phase
with remote control helicopter. But we'rein the board games for a while,
and I like shoots and ladders andMonopoly was talking about a long Yeah,
(18:57):
that took forever. I never hadto actually finish it, but we don't
want. We just tried to stackas much money as possible. Boy,
once we got tired of playing,who ever had the most money one.
Yeah, board because they're upset.Yeah, no way, we're playing the
right way. Here's another one foryou, George. Do you know what
those are? Shorts? George areback in fashion? Not for me?
(19:21):
Not for me? Yeah, Ican't do it. Do you get ready
for a game? Are you definitelythinking about your fit? No? What
I'm wearing today, My sweatpants andsweater is what I wear for game day.
I like being comfortable. I mightthrow I say I do one fit,
one outfit a year. Yeah,dress nice one time a year.
But I'm not there. I'm notthe fashion guy. Surprisingly, I have
(19:42):
a fashion Ova deal right now thatI do. So it's kind of off
character because I don't like dressing up, but I have to. Yeah,
so it's kind of it's kind ofoff brand, but it pays the bills.
Let's talk about our matchup we gotagainst the Chargers coming up here on
Sunday. US make stay And we'vealready talked about Justin Herbert and the fact
that you hate all Brad Pitt's movies. He's got five hundred and thirty four
(20:06):
yards so far, three touchdowns.He's throwing a completion percentage of sixty seven
point six. It's those targets thathe has that really are a tough matchup
from what you guys are doing.Yeah, they have a really good team
overall. Their offensive line is reallysolid, good skilled positions too, especially
Cali alumni Keenan Allen. A lotof respect for him, and then obviously
(20:30):
I've been going against Justin Herbert fora while now, going against him in
college, so I have a lotof respect for him and what he does.
But they have a for sure acomplete team and a good roster,
and I think it's gonna be reallyexciting to be able to go against the
competition like that, and be ableto go against really a veteran group like
with Keenan, with Herbert, andbeing able to go against those guys.
(20:52):
It's always fun having a good competitionlike that. You mentioned THEO Jackson and
getting the interception. Of course,you got him to tell us out out
there yourself, Harry, what doyou like about b Flows defense, especially
with the the extra shape. Iwas gonna say I'm biased because we have
like four four safeties on the fieldat sometime, so but I really love
(21:14):
the defense because he lets us reallyplay free
