It's time for Vikings Country, brought to you by Miller Lyte.

the Vikings Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Muss I U f left Diegos Tammuel in the backfield.
He flections out left on second and ten. Perdy on
a deep drop fastball.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Over the middle and it's bouncing in the air.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Enters stepped in hits picked off by Joshna Woman Tellus

The ten us.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
This Harry the hit Man and Kasha woman tellis closed

Niners territory. Erdy has grown for one sixty two, a
touchdown and a pick and he's back to pass and
he is that Patrick Jones, Holy cow. He's out here
trying to win NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Now
(00:51):
seq Willet applied from about his own forty perty has
started four of six forty four yards block.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Pop by staj Wait days and it's picked up like

Go crazy eight twenty seven yard dry right hash to
the west side of the US Bank Stadium snaps five
right gird is God, my man has a missed all
season extra points or field goals. And that field goal
kicks the Vikings to a nine point lead with three
thirty to go in the game.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Welcome to Vikings Country, Ladies and gentlemen. Look out Mabel Grove.
This is a packed house. I love this.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
We're two and old ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
I had nothing to do with it, but I still
said we It doesn't matter. It's Viking stuntry here with
Miller Lyte and one of my absolute favorites on the team,
but also one of my absolute favorites to have here
on Vikings Country, even though we've only done one show together.
Andrew Depollo, everybody number forty two, thank you, thank you,
two time pro bowler, two time, two time pro bo
(02:10):
Did you hear that?
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Two time pro bowler? Dear God, I love that.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
And the last time you and I did a show together,
I believe we were in Blaine and we had to
do the show outside.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
You remember that.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
I won't forget it.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
We literally could not get a signal inside this bowling alley,
and so Andrew and I with our engineer had to
stand outside, right outside.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
The door because there we could get a signal. And
it was it was the twenty sixth of December.
Speaker 6 (02:41):
Oh yeah, it was cool.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Because it was Boxing day. I remember bringing that that's right, Yeah, yeah,
that's right. And we were standing out there and we
did the show there.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
But my favorite part is we were right where everybody
was just ripping darts.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Oh yeah, just smoking heaters.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
The designated smoking zone.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Right as we're doing the show, I remember this lady
comes up to us and she's like.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
What are you doing.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Well, we're doing a radio show right now.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
I'm sorry, are we are we in your way?
Speaker 6 (03:13):
Now?
Speaker 4 (03:13):
It's okay, you keep doing what you're doing. I thought
that was very kind of her.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
Yeah, she was nice.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
Well, it was either that or stand out in the
middle of traffic, so we were kind of between a
rock and a hard place.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
Well, they put us in the middle of the parking
lot at one point, right and we're like, this is
not safe, but this is where the signal works. No, no, yeah,
that's that's some quality radio right there that you got
to be.
Speaker 7 (03:35):
A part of that was one of my more unique
unique interview.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
Yeah, so I'm guessing, you know, when this whole thing's
over for you, you're gonna stick with bagels and not radio.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Because of the plan for now, because of that exact.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Moment that we have two and oh Andrew, my gosh,
what a great game Usbank Stadium. How loud was it
when uh Darnold hits Jets a ninety seven yard touchdown
sixty yards through the air.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (04:09):
One of my favorite things is when we have a
big play is the is the quiet, you know, when
the ball's in the air and everyone's like and then
he catches it, you know, the explosion. And a funny
thing about that play was, you know, I warm up
on the side and then I'm actually looking at this kid.
This kid called my name behind me, so I'm looking
at him and he said something. I think he was
trying to get me to sign something. Well, then I
heard the quiet, and I'm like, well, this is working out.
(04:30):
I'm just gonna keep looking at this kid. And then
he called I heard the scream, and I was like,
We're just gonna keep this eye contact going because it's working.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Right, I'll see it in film room.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
I'm just looking at him and Ryan. Ryan Wright's come
up to me. He's like, we scored, we gotta go.
Speaker 7 (04:45):
I'm like, yeah, I'll be there in a second.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
I'm engaged with this kid who was crazy special traits
that are good luck.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
I didn't want to ruin it, exactly. I didn't want
to ruin it.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
So let's talk about this a little bit.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
As far as a long snapper, that wasn't something originally
that you were thinking of. You're a big baseball player
in high school, you love that, and then of course
you were a quarterback in high school. You went to
Rutgers walking on as a quarterback. And then what was
it your senior year that the long snapper got injured?
Speaker 7 (05:17):
Yeah, so well that was my It was my fourth
year he got injured. I finished out that year, which
is only I don't know, two or three games, and
then my fifth year, my senior year, I did it
full time, right right, And you go.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
From that, so like, what twelve games max in college
right right around there.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
Yeah, so all of a sudden, hey, yeah, you see
he's in the pros and now he's a two time
pro bowler.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Pretty well that's amazing. Pretty well, what's the science of
the long snap?
Speaker 5 (05:45):
You know, because I know that you guys, you know
there's a specific target that you know how many rotations
that needs to be for Basically if you're you know,
snapping a pat or FG field goal for everybody else,
or if you're doing for the punt. Now when you
watch everybody else who stands up throwing it, does it
make you mad because you're like, well.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
That's easy.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Sam Darnold's not sitting there going, oh man on this
wheel row and I gotta have twelve rotations before he
gets out there.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
You know, he's not thinking about those things.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
You know.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
I think Sam's got a couple more things to think about,
blitz and coverage and all that. No, but you're right,
there is like a little bit of a science that
goes behind snapping. And yeah, you know, depending on where
we are would hash the balls on. You know, the
rotations do come into play. It's usually about two and
a half rotations on a field goal pat. But you know,
(06:38):
just little nuances like that, little things that go in
the position I take very seriously and I just trying
to do that job as well as I can so
that way, you know, Ryan and both Will and Ryan
can have success when you go to.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
The Pro Bowl, and they got the Pro Bowl games essentially,
so it's like party games, which is fun.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
And then but you ended up winning the Snapshots, well
at least your.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Team because they needed seven points, right and you got nine?
Speaker 6 (07:04):
All right? Yeah I don't remember. Yeah, I needed something
and I got it right.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
How how was that experience when you go to the
Pro Bowl when you're sitting there going, now, these are
the best of the best. You're already playing with, you know,
NFL players, but no, you go there and.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
You're like, oh, good lord, yeah that means and the
people here.
Speaker 7 (07:22):
My first year going I was kind of like just starstruck,
Like my head was spinning. I had all these guys,
these just superstars, and I was around them and I
was like I'm here, like I'm with all of you.
We're equal, right. And then my second year I was
kind of like a little more down to earth, but
still not. And I remember in that event Snapshots, Jason
Kelsey was one of the guys on our team who
did it, you know, and he's you know, O mega
(07:43):
superstar and he's coming up to me asking me advice,
and I'm like, buddy, I think you got it down,
like how many Pro bowls? Like you're okay, And then
we did. They let us warm up on the target
and he was flinging them back there and he was
doing great, and he was like, what do you got
for me?
Speaker 6 (07:57):
I'm like nothing, really nothing. You're good. You're locked in.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
And then the producer came up to me and was like, hey,
so here's how it's going to go. If you guys
are losing, we're gonna have you go last to make
it a little more interesting.
Speaker 6 (08:12):
And I was like, okay, that's fine.
Speaker 7 (08:13):
So we were actually losing, which allowed me to go last,
which allowed me to know, okay, I need with seven.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
And I got nice.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
So I start show boating a little bit, trying to
go for the four. If you haven't seen it, as you
can see it on YouTube, the ones like a massive hole.
Yeah yeah, yes, I did say massive hole, and then
the four is a much harder hold ahead.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
Yeah, well I'm getting I'm getting. You know, I knew
i'd had it at that point. So everyone's like, all right,
go for something else, like you got it, So I
was like, might as well go for something I don't know,
make it interesting, Andrew.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
We have a new kicker here with the Minnesota Vikings drafted,
and this kid is one not only field goals, but
also on those point after your touchdowns, Will re record,
don't chink.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
So I know Will Rackert. I'm just so happy that
he's no longer the number forty six, because even when
he takes his helmet off, You're like, who let that
kid on the sideline? That's really nice. They gave him
the full uniform and a helmet.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
But when he was wearing forty six, it looked like
he was wearing dad suit.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
Yep, YEP. I liked it. I liked it.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
And the funny thing about Will is three preseason games,
two regular season games now and he's been stopped every
single time and told he can't go on the field
because they didn't think he.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Was a player.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
And he gets he gets so feisty, he gets so
fired up. He's like, they did it again, they did
it again. And I'm like, can you blame him?
Speaker 4 (09:34):
It look twelve right right?
Speaker 5 (09:36):
And I bet you guys really like, well, we're not
walking in with you because we want to see this
happen again.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
It's it's it's great.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Kickers are weird. That's a science, that's math. So is
he like one of the weirder kickers that us the
other way?
Speaker 6 (09:50):
He's a really cool, regular guy. Yeah, he's awesome, He's
really cool.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
But so what you're saying is that kickers are actually weird.
Kickers are very weird specialists in general, they're all weird.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
They're all weird.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Well yeah, but are you technically also a tight end
then with the team or how do they get No,
I'm just a long snapper, just a long snapper, I
think because in some instances they haven't had a long
snapper classification.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
So I'm listed as like I think in the video game,
I'm listed as a tight end. Yeah, but no, I'm
a long snapper.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
What kind of film room do you go through as
a long snapper? I mean what does film room like?
Speaker 5 (10:23):
I mean, obviously as the whole team, you guys are
all watching together, but then like when you're breaking into
rooms and stuff like that, what is it that you
guys are looking at in That's like maybe my ass
should be a little higher when I'm snapping for a
punt or whatever.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
I don't know, what are the nuance.
Speaker 7 (10:39):
That's something we talk about. Yeah, do you get your
butt higher? Get your butt lower. So it'll be me
Ryan and Will Kicker, punter snapper. We'll go in to
our meeting room, put on the film, put on the
field goal from the day before, put on the punt
from the day before, just kind of look at like
did I put the ball where you want it? Or
where the lace is where you needed to be? How
did the wind come into play here with this hole
or this app or this drop. We just try to
(11:02):
critique ourselves as tough as we can. And I like
to say, like, hey, we're gonna watch this film without
an ego, right, Like you really want to critique yourself
as hard as you can so that when we go
out on game day things are a little bit easier
and we can perform as well as we can. So
just stuff like that that we're watching just to be
able to get you know, just one percent better.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Tough question I'm going to ask you here, Andrew, Okay,
the dynamic kickoff. If you don't want to answer, that's fine.
You can just simply say I'm not a part of
that play, okay, but what do you how do you
feel so far about the dynamic kickoff, man, I don't
really feel any type of way about it, Like I
(11:40):
I know why they do it.
Speaker 7 (11:41):
They're doing it, and I know why they implemented it.
I think, correct me if I'm wrong. Our kickoff returns
up at this point same time as last year.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
Are we up?
Speaker 4 (11:51):
I believe so? But there's still a lot of touchbacks?
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Yeah, yeah, but then we've got to see I think
now two on side kicks. Got to see one just
last week. But yeah, I mean there are some returns
that are going there. I guess, yes, it is up, yeah,
but I don't think the return on it is that great.
Speaker 7 (12:10):
But you know, I think for the purists and the
old school people at heart, I think it's it's changed.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Is always going to be hard.
Speaker 7 (12:15):
Sure, I don't hate it, and I'm not saying I'm
here and I love it, but it's just a part
of the game. And I think that if we get
a chance to put the ball in play and return
the ball, I think we can do some dynamic right
dynamic things, you know. But on the flip side of
that is will the team give you a chance to
bring it out? You know, like you've said, you've seen
(12:36):
a lot of teams. Just kick it as far as
you can, all right, you can take the ball in
the thirty and hopefully our defense and stuff you. But yeah,
I don't hate it.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
I like it, ladies and gentlemen. Andrew Depaula is here
with us.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
It'spikings Country with Miller Lyte and Kfan and coming up
here next in our next segment, we're gonna talk a
little bit more about the weapons that the Minnesota Vikings
have and then talk a little bit about the defense
as well, because there's a lot of faces with the
Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
I want to talk about the locker room. Plus we're
gonna have.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Of course, the five typically stupid Vikings Country questions that
will be coming up next.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Right here on the fans, It's time for Vikings Country,
brought to you by Miller Lte. Now here's your host
of Vikings Country from Kfan and the Vikings Radio Network Musk.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Second and nine for the Vikings from their own Bread
Darnald under center Way, action to Jones, back to pass.
Both have picked up deep jud.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Jefferson, Yeah, caught it the fifteenth head what to the
forty cut back to the twenty.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Five head to the right.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
He's trying to outrun the Niners to the five.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
Touchdown.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Play steven yards topdown from Damn Darnald to Justin Jefferson
pen You're Minnesota. Vikings have a nine zero lead.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Darnold play actions, great drop loops to the in zone,
Chill and Miller. Three receivers right, one left. Darnold tasting
a corner. Blitz screens it to the left side, Aaron
Jones to the ten, to the five.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
And he dropped the ball.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
He fumbled the ball at the.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Two yard line.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
US kids and the fourteeners have recovered it. Aaron Jones
bumbled it at the two. He was six feet from
burying the San Francisco fourteen Hiners for the day.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
We're back at Viking's Country. We're hanging out here and
Able Grove, who had the lookout on much Miller, like kfan.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Andrew Depaula is my guest, and we're playing highlights and
then the tough one, the tough drop there basically six
inches away from putting the game absolutely away. And Aaron Jones,
who everyone says is just one of the best locker
room guys.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Not only that, just super talented of.
Speaker 7 (14:56):
Course, hands down, one of the best guys, an amazing
here and being an amazing guy, he has.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
Been quite the quite the added asset to this team.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Yeah, think of how much you got to grow on
all of that as far as a team, because if
you look at that game, you guys were.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
By far the best team on the field, I'll say
it for you.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
And then you got the turnover with Aaron Jones, and
then of course you got the pick both of those
in scoring areas, and then.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
You know.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
You'd stop them on fourth down twice.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
There was just so many opportunities for this thing to
just get ridiculous.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
C J.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Hamm with the block, you know, and that would have
been nice to get six, but nonetheless that really could
have gotten out of control.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
But there's so much to grow on that.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
And even the Giants game, wher was like, these aren't
perfect games and you're beating NFL teams and one of
the best ones with the San Francisco forty nine ers.
Speaker 7 (15:50):
Yeah, and that was the cool thing that we talked about,
you know, in film Starty the next day, is that,
you know, coach was like, hey, guys, we left anywhere
from fourteen to even twenty many points on the table still,
and that's that's kind of a scary thing to think about.
If we're playing a complete game against the forty nine
ers and we hang thirty five forty against them, that's
that's saying something that's a statement right there. So yeah,
(16:13):
it's special. I think what we have going on right
now with this team is special, and I think kind
of the philosophy we have with moving forward is just
taking it one day, one game at a time, not
looking ahead and just focusing on what we have to
do right now.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
All right, let's get into.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
This before we get into some more you know about
the game possibly coming up here this week against the Texans.
But the five typically stupid Vikings Country questions here we go.
Ok Number one, your family business is, of course Begelsgels.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
Right, what's the name of the story again to Paul's
Begel and brunch?
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Very very nice. Okay. The stupid question is why don't begels?
Why do they have a hole in them? Is that
to like get back at the donut people where it's like,
well you've got a hole in yours, we're gonna keep
a hole in ours. And is there anything that actually,
I mean, do you guys offer up, you know, bagel
holes like they do donut holes, because donut holes are amazing.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Man.
Speaker 7 (17:04):
I don't know if there's like a science behind why
there's a why there's a hole in a bagel. I
think it has to do with the way it bakes,
if I'm being honest. We do not offer bagel poles,
bagel balls, bagel holes.
Speaker 6 (17:17):
What do they call it?
Speaker 4 (17:17):
Begel holes? Yeah, it would be like a donut hole.
But oh, you know you could do big of balls.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
Oh I like thatoud we just come up with.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
Something, I think, so, I think you know what I
was gonna ask in, But no, I don't have enough money,
So you can take that all right? Here we go
Number two on Sunday the center for the Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Josh Meyer. Did you see this, Josh Myers?
Speaker 5 (17:36):
He ends up puking, throwing up on the football just
before he hiked it Malik Willis, who was supposed to go.
It was a pass play that was drawn up and
he had to check out of it and run and
the coach is like, what are you doing?
Speaker 4 (17:50):
He's like, ohll Myers threw up on the ball.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
I saw that.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Have you ever had like a real gross moment that
that you yourself or you've a witnessed.
Speaker 7 (18:00):
Oh no. The only two things that ever really come
to mind was I've had an opposing team spit.
Speaker 6 (18:04):
On the ball, Yeah yeah, during a field goal.
Speaker 7 (18:08):
And then I also one time we broke the huddle
for a punt and there was a B on the ball,
and I made the ref get to be off the ball.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
I'm not touching this right right, like someone get the
and then the ref came in.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
I do know if I'm allergic or not. I'm not
puffing up for this.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
I just didn't want to get stung on my hands.
You know, I got to use them. So now there's
only two things that have ever happened.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
To just a B on the ball. Never never had
to do that NASCAR thing, will you ever?
Speaker 5 (18:31):
Once in a while hear about offensive linemen who were
just like I could go behind the tent and just
let it go there. But instead I'm just on turn
number one, just gonna fire went off. They just pee themselves.
Speaker 7 (18:42):
We've come along, We've come a long way. Those days
we have a bathroom right behind our bench.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Okay, good, yeah, all right, I told you these are stupid,
all right?
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Number three here we go for the five typically stupid
vikings country questions.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
We've come a long way. I love that the ex
green superfood. Maybe grasshoppers.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Researchers in Cameroon have found that a diet of these
crunchy critters can boost your sleep, improve your hair.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
And even ramp up your libido. Okay, have you ever
eaten a bug?
Speaker 6 (19:17):
Not a purpose?
Speaker 4 (19:18):
Not a purpose? Would you eat bugs?
Speaker 6 (19:24):
I don't really want to.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
No, I don't either, And they always say the same thing.
Oh no, they're really crunchy and good you got when
you said crunchy and bugs.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
No, I don't.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
That is not an experience I need, even if I
need the libido to be picked up.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
No, not worth it.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
I mean, I've got four kids. I think my libido's fine.
I mean, if you ask my wife, she'd probably tell
you the same things.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
I mean, like we eat, we eat seafood. Right, doesn't
that count as like the bugs.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
Of the sea.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Don't ruin shrimp for me?
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Right?
Speaker 6 (19:51):
No, That's exactly where I'm going with we know.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
I know exactly that little trail that you gotta get
rid of when you nah, I don't think about it.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
I really you eat the poop trail.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
Why not. Oh my god, it's gotta be good for you, right.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
No, it can't, it can't. It can't.
Speaker 6 (20:04):
Let's if we say it, it's true.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
No, Andrew, you're eating poop.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Yeah, all right, I'm gonna skip to my last one
here after we spent so much time on shrimp poop.
Sam Donald tremendous, tremendous start for him here with the vikings,
But when it comes to Halloween he has to if
he hasn't done it already, I think he should go
(20:29):
as Dwight Troot from the office. If you take a picture,
if you guys grab your phones and you take you
grab your Google picture, Google image of Sam Donald and
then Dwight Trout, he's just glasses away.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
That's a good one. Where did you Where did you
come up with that?
Speaker 4 (20:44):
I was just staring at him. I was doing like
some prep and I'm like, oh my god, he looks
like Dwight Trump.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
I am. I am a very big office fan, and
I didn't even put that together.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
Now you'll never not see that.
Speaker 6 (20:56):
That's unfortunately, You're right, You're unfortunately right. Yep.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
You guys got so many new faces, and especially defensively,
and it's awesome.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
So far everything's been good.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Then Ginkle of course Grenard seems like a great too,
and he's all over the field. Cash Man we love
to see as Minnesota's having him back in the state
and playing, and of course Turner. But you guys, in
the last couple of years, it's been known, talked about,
we've talked about it, how the locker room is just
really really tight. Yeah, you know, a recert's here, he
(21:28):
can't get on the field because they think he's a kid.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
But but has that change, has that aspect changing in
what way? Or is it surprisingly the same?
Speaker 7 (21:40):
You know, I think the thing that Quasi doesn't get
enough credit for is not only bringing in great football players,
but great people that add to the value of the
locker room and don't tear it that fabric, you know,
tear it apart. Like so when we do something or
go out and we come back in the locker room,
we're in there having a good time. We're talking, we're
recapping on things where you know, making fun of each other,
(22:01):
cracking jokes. It's just like the guys in that locker
room and not only do they want to play well,
but they want to play well for each other, and
I think that's kind of the little secret sauce right now.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
He's a two time pro bowler, he's our long snapper
number forty two, and he's not afraid to eat shrimp poo.
Andrew to Paula, thank you so much, buddy, appreciate you
having it. And yeah, look soon for those uh bagel
balls there you go coming your way and they'll remember
this show. And you're like, I think must gave him
(22:31):
that idea right here when we are listening.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
I'm a fan. Miller Lite is brewed with great taste
and only great tape. The Miller Brewing Company would like
to issue a correction. Miller Lite is brewed to be
less feeling. What are you doing here? Miller Lite tastes great.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
Look, I'm just reading the script.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
It says less fillings. That's not what my script says.
Hell mindset. We'd like to apologize for the previous announcers.
Middle Light is in fact less feeling and taste great.
I'm be shine

the Vikings Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Muss I U f left Diegos Tammuel in the backfield.
He flections out left on second and ten. Perdy on
a deep drop fastball.

Enters stepped in hits picked off by Joshna Woman Tellus

he's out of bounds at.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
The ten us.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
This Harry the hit Man and Kasha woman tellis closed

Niners territory. Erdy has grown for one sixty two, a
touchdown and a pick and he's back to pass and
he is that Patrick Jones, Holy cow. He's out here
trying to win NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Now
(00:51):
seq Willet applied from about his own forty perty has
started four of six forty four yards block.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Pop by staj Wait days and it's picked up like
the old Jackson heads to the right side of the

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Go crazy eight twenty seven yard dry right hash to
the west side of the US Bank Stadium snaps five
right gird is God, my man has a missed all
season extra points or field goals. And that field goal
kicks the Vikings to a nine point lead with three
thirty to go in the game.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Welcome to Vikings Country, Ladies and gentlemen. Look out Mabel Grove.
This is a packed house. I love this.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
We're two and old ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
I had nothing to do with it, but I still
said we It doesn't matter. It's Viking stuntry here with
Miller Lyte and one of my absolute favorites on the team,
but also one of my absolute favorites to have here
on Vikings Country, even though we've only done one show together.
Andrew Depollo, everybody number forty two, thank you, thank you,
two time pro bowler, two time, two time pro bo
(02:10):
Did you hear that?
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Two time pro bowler? Dear God, I love that.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
And the last time you and I did a show together,
I believe we were in Blaine and we had to
do the show outside.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
You remember that.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
I won't forget it.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
We literally could not get a signal inside this bowling alley,
and so Andrew and I with our engineer had to
stand outside, right outside.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
The door because there we could get a signal. And
it was it was the twenty sixth of December.
Speaker 6 (02:41):
Oh yeah, it was cool.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Because it was Boxing day. I remember bringing that that's right, Yeah, yeah,
that's right. And we were standing out there and we
did the show there.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
But my favorite part is we were right where everybody
was just ripping darts.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Oh yeah, just smoking heaters.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
The designated smoking zone.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Right as we're doing the show, I remember this lady
comes up to us and she's like.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
What are you doing.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Well, we're doing a radio show right now.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
I'm sorry, are we are we in your way?
Speaker 6 (03:13):
Now?
Speaker 4 (03:13):
It's okay, you keep doing what you're doing. I thought
that was very kind of her.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
Yeah, she was nice.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
Well, it was either that or stand out in the
middle of traffic, so we were kind of between a
rock and a hard place.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
Well, they put us in the middle of the parking
lot at one point, right and we're like, this is
not safe, but this is where the signal works. No, no, yeah,
that's that's some quality radio right there that you got
to be.
Speaker 7 (03:35):
A part of that was one of my more unique
unique interview.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
Yeah, so I'm guessing, you know, when this whole thing's
over for you, you're gonna stick with bagels and not radio.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Because of the plan for now, because of that exact.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Moment that we have two and oh Andrew, my gosh,
what a great game Usbank Stadium. How loud was it
when uh Darnold hits Jets a ninety seven yard touchdown
sixty yards through the air.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (04:09):
One of my favorite things is when we have a
big play is the is the quiet, you know, when
the ball's in the air and everyone's like and then
he catches it, you know, the explosion. And a funny
thing about that play was, you know, I warm up
on the side and then I'm actually looking at this kid.
This kid called my name behind me, so I'm looking
at him and he said something. I think he was
trying to get me to sign something. Well, then I
heard the quiet, and I'm like, well, this is working out.
(04:30):
I'm just gonna keep looking at this kid. And then
he called I heard the scream, and I was like,
We're just gonna keep this eye contact going because it's working.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Right, I'll see it in film room.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
I'm just looking at him and Ryan. Ryan Wright's come
up to me. He's like, we scored, we gotta go.
Speaker 7 (04:45):
I'm like, yeah, I'll be there in a second.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
I'm engaged with this kid who was crazy special traits
that are good luck.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
I didn't want to ruin it, exactly. I didn't want
to ruin it.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
So let's talk about this a little bit.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
As far as a long snapper, that wasn't something originally
that you were thinking of. You're a big baseball player
in high school, you love that, and then of course
you were a quarterback in high school. You went to
Rutgers walking on as a quarterback. And then what was
it your senior year that the long snapper got injured?
Speaker 7 (05:17):
Yeah, so well that was my It was my fourth
year he got injured. I finished out that year, which
is only I don't know, two or three games, and
then my fifth year, my senior year, I did it
full time, right right, And you go.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
From that, so like, what twelve games max in college
right right around there.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
Yeah, so all of a sudden, hey, yeah, you see
he's in the pros and now he's a two time
pro bowler.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Pretty well that's amazing. Pretty well, what's the science of
the long snap?
Speaker 5 (05:45):
You know, because I know that you guys, you know
there's a specific target that you know how many rotations
that needs to be for Basically if you're you know,
snapping a pat or FG field goal for everybody else,
or if you're doing for the punt. Now when you
watch everybody else who stands up throwing it, does it
make you mad because you're like, well.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
That's easy.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Sam Darnold's not sitting there going, oh man on this
wheel row and I gotta have twelve rotations before he
gets out there.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
You know, he's not thinking about those things.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
You know.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
I think Sam's got a couple more things to think about,
blitz and coverage and all that. No, but you're right,
there is like a little bit of a science that
goes behind snapping. And yeah, you know, depending on where
we are would hash the balls on. You know, the
rotations do come into play. It's usually about two and
a half rotations on a field goal pat. But you know,
(06:38):
just little nuances like that, little things that go in
the position I take very seriously and I just trying
to do that job as well as I can so
that way, you know, Ryan and both Will and Ryan
can have success when you go to.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
The Pro Bowl, and they got the Pro Bowl games essentially,
so it's like party games, which is fun.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
And then but you ended up winning the Snapshots, well
at least your.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Team because they needed seven points, right and you got nine?
Speaker 6 (07:04):
All right? Yeah I don't remember. Yeah, I needed something
and I got it right.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
How how was that experience when you go to the
Pro Bowl when you're sitting there going, now, these are
the best of the best. You're already playing with, you know,
NFL players, but no, you go there and.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
You're like, oh, good lord, yeah that means and the
people here.
Speaker 7 (07:22):
My first year going I was kind of like just starstruck,
Like my head was spinning. I had all these guys,
these just superstars, and I was around them and I
was like I'm here, like I'm with all of you.
We're equal, right. And then my second year I was
kind of like a little more down to earth, but
still not. And I remember in that event Snapshots, Jason
Kelsey was one of the guys on our team who
did it, you know, and he's you know, O mega
(07:43):
superstar and he's coming up to me asking me advice,
and I'm like, buddy, I think you got it down,
like how many Pro bowls? Like you're okay, And then
we did. They let us warm up on the target
and he was flinging them back there and he was
doing great, and he was like, what do you got
for me?
Speaker 6 (07:57):
I'm like nothing, really nothing. You're good. You're locked in.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
And then the producer came up to me and was like, hey,
so here's how it's going to go. If you guys
are losing, we're gonna have you go last to make
it a little more interesting.
Speaker 6 (08:12):
And I was like, okay, that's fine.
Speaker 7 (08:13):
So we were actually losing, which allowed me to go last,
which allowed me to know, okay, I need with seven.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
And I got nice.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
So I start show boating a little bit, trying to
go for the four. If you haven't seen it, as you
can see it on YouTube, the ones like a massive hole.
Yeah yeah, yes, I did say massive hole, and then
the four is a much harder hold ahead.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
Yeah, well I'm getting I'm getting. You know, I knew
i'd had it at that point. So everyone's like, all right,
go for something else, like you got it, So I
was like, might as well go for something I don't know,
make it interesting, Andrew.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
We have a new kicker here with the Minnesota Vikings drafted,
and this kid is one not only field goals, but
also on those point after your touchdowns, Will re record,
don't chink.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
So I know Will Rackert. I'm just so happy that
he's no longer the number forty six, because even when
he takes his helmet off, You're like, who let that
kid on the sideline? That's really nice. They gave him
the full uniform and a helmet.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
But when he was wearing forty six, it looked like
he was wearing dad suit.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
Yep, YEP. I liked it. I liked it.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
And the funny thing about Will is three preseason games,
two regular season games now and he's been stopped every
single time and told he can't go on the field
because they didn't think he.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Was a player.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
And he gets he gets so feisty, he gets so
fired up. He's like, they did it again, they did
it again. And I'm like, can you blame him?
Speaker 4 (09:34):
It look twelve right right?
Speaker 5 (09:36):
And I bet you guys really like, well, we're not
walking in with you because we want to see this
happen again.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
It's it's it's great.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Kickers are weird. That's a science, that's math. So is
he like one of the weirder kickers that us the
other way?
Speaker 6 (09:50):
He's a really cool, regular guy. Yeah, he's awesome, He's
really cool.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
But so what you're saying is that kickers are actually weird.
Kickers are very weird specialists in general, they're all weird.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
They're all weird.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Well yeah, but are you technically also a tight end
then with the team or how do they get No,
I'm just a long snapper, just a long snapper, I
think because in some instances they haven't had a long
snapper classification.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
So I'm listed as like I think in the video game,
I'm listed as a tight end. Yeah, but no, I'm
a long snapper.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
What kind of film room do you go through as
a long snapper? I mean what does film room like?
Speaker 5 (10:23):
I mean, obviously as the whole team, you guys are
all watching together, but then like when you're breaking into
rooms and stuff like that, what is it that you
guys are looking at in That's like maybe my ass
should be a little higher when I'm snapping for a
punt or whatever.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
I don't know, what are the nuance.
Speaker 7 (10:39):
That's something we talk about. Yeah, do you get your
butt higher? Get your butt lower. So it'll be me
Ryan and Will Kicker, punter snapper. We'll go in to
our meeting room, put on the film, put on the
field goal from the day before, put on the punt
from the day before, just kind of look at like
did I put the ball where you want it? Or
where the lace is where you needed to be? How
did the wind come into play here with this hole
or this app or this drop. We just try to
(11:02):
critique ourselves as tough as we can. And I like
to say, like, hey, we're gonna watch this film without
an ego, right, Like you really want to critique yourself
as hard as you can so that when we go
out on game day things are a little bit easier
and we can perform as well as we can. So
just stuff like that that we're watching just to be
able to get you know, just one percent better.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Tough question I'm going to ask you here, Andrew, Okay,
the dynamic kickoff. If you don't want to answer, that's fine.
You can just simply say I'm not a part of
that play, okay, but what do you how do you
feel so far about the dynamic kickoff, man, I don't
really feel any type of way about it, Like I
(11:40):
I know why they do it.
Speaker 7 (11:41):
They're doing it, and I know why they implemented it.
I think, correct me if I'm wrong. Our kickoff returns
up at this point same time as last year.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
Are we up?
Speaker 4 (11:51):
I believe so? But there's still a lot of touchbacks?
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Yeah, yeah, but then we've got to see I think
now two on side kicks. Got to see one just
last week. But yeah, I mean there are some returns
that are going there. I guess, yes, it is up, yeah,
but I don't think the return on it is that great.
Speaker 7 (12:10):
But you know, I think for the purists and the
old school people at heart, I think it's it's changed.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Is always going to be hard.
Speaker 7 (12:15):
Sure, I don't hate it, and I'm not saying I'm
here and I love it, but it's just a part
of the game. And I think that if we get
a chance to put the ball in play and return
the ball, I think we can do some dynamic right
dynamic things, you know. But on the flip side of
that is will the team give you a chance to
bring it out? You know, like you've said, you've seen
(12:36):
a lot of teams. Just kick it as far as
you can, all right, you can take the ball in
the thirty and hopefully our defense and stuff you. But yeah,
I don't hate it.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
I like it, ladies and gentlemen. Andrew Depaula is here
with us.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
It'spikings Country with Miller Lyte and Kfan and coming up
here next in our next segment, we're gonna talk a
little bit more about the weapons that the Minnesota Vikings
have and then talk a little bit about the defense
as well, because there's a lot of faces with the
Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
I want to talk about the locker room. Plus we're
gonna have.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Of course, the five typically stupid Vikings Country questions that
will be coming up next.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Right here on the fans, It's time for Vikings Country,
brought to you by Miller Lte. Now here's your host
of Vikings Country from Kfan and the Vikings Radio Network Musk.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Second and nine for the Vikings from their own Bread
Darnald under center Way, action to Jones, back to pass.
Both have picked up deep jud.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Jefferson, Yeah, caught it the fifteenth head what to the
forty cut back to the twenty.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Five head to the right.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
He's trying to outrun the Niners to the five.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
Touchdown.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Play steven yards topdown from Damn Darnald to Justin Jefferson
pen You're Minnesota. Vikings have a nine zero lead.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Darnold play actions, great drop loops to the in zone,
Chill and Miller. Three receivers right, one left. Darnold tasting
a corner. Blitz screens it to the left side, Aaron
Jones to the ten, to the five.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
And he dropped the ball.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
He fumbled the ball at the.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Two yard line.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
US kids and the fourteeners have recovered it. Aaron Jones
bumbled it at the two. He was six feet from
burying the San Francisco fourteen Hiners for the day.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
We're back at Viking's Country. We're hanging out here and
Able Grove, who had the lookout on much Miller, like kfan.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Andrew Depaula is my guest, and we're playing highlights and
then the tough one, the tough drop there basically six
inches away from putting the game absolutely away. And Aaron Jones,
who everyone says is just one of the best locker
room guys.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Not only that, just super talented of.
Speaker 7 (14:56):
Course, hands down, one of the best guys, an amazing
here and being an amazing guy, he has.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
Been quite the quite the added asset to this team.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Yeah, think of how much you got to grow on
all of that as far as a team, because if
you look at that game, you guys were.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
By far the best team on the field, I'll say
it for you.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
And then you got the turnover with Aaron Jones, and
then of course you got the pick both of those
in scoring areas, and then.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
You know.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
You'd stop them on fourth down twice.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
There was just so many opportunities for this thing to
just get ridiculous.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
C J.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Hamm with the block, you know, and that would have
been nice to get six, but nonetheless that really could
have gotten out of control.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
But there's so much to grow on that.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
And even the Giants game, wher was like, these aren't
perfect games and you're beating NFL teams and one of
the best ones with the San Francisco forty nine ers.
Speaker 7 (15:50):
Yeah, and that was the cool thing that we talked about,
you know, in film Starty the next day, is that,
you know, coach was like, hey, guys, we left anywhere
from fourteen to even twenty many points on the table still,
and that's that's kind of a scary thing to think about.
If we're playing a complete game against the forty nine
ers and we hang thirty five forty against them, that's
that's saying something that's a statement right there. So yeah,
(16:13):
it's special. I think what we have going on right
now with this team is special, and I think kind
of the philosophy we have with moving forward is just
taking it one day, one game at a time, not
looking ahead and just focusing on what we have to
do right now.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
All right, let's get into.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
This before we get into some more you know about
the game possibly coming up here this week against the Texans.
But the five typically stupid Vikings Country questions here we go.
Ok Number one, your family business is, of course Begelsgels.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
Right, what's the name of the story again to Paul's
Begel and brunch?
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Very very nice. Okay. The stupid question is why don't begels?
Why do they have a hole in them? Is that
to like get back at the donut people where it's like,
well you've got a hole in yours, we're gonna keep
a hole in ours. And is there anything that actually,
I mean, do you guys offer up, you know, bagel
holes like they do donut holes, because donut holes are amazing.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Man.
Speaker 7 (17:04):
I don't know if there's like a science behind why
there's a why there's a hole in a bagel. I
think it has to do with the way it bakes,
if I'm being honest. We do not offer bagel poles,
bagel balls, bagel holes.
Speaker 6 (17:17):
What do they call it?
Speaker 4 (17:17):
Begel holes? Yeah, it would be like a donut hole.
But oh, you know you could do big of balls.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
Oh I like thatoud we just come up with.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
Something, I think, so, I think you know what I
was gonna ask in, But no, I don't have enough money,
So you can take that all right? Here we go
Number two on Sunday the center for the Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Josh Meyer. Did you see this, Josh Myers?
Speaker 5 (17:36):
He ends up puking, throwing up on the football just
before he hiked it Malik Willis, who was supposed to go.
It was a pass play that was drawn up and
he had to check out of it and run and
the coach is like, what are you doing?
Speaker 4 (17:50):
He's like, ohll Myers threw up on the ball.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
I saw that.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Have you ever had like a real gross moment that
that you yourself or you've a witnessed.
Speaker 7 (18:00):
Oh no. The only two things that ever really come
to mind was I've had an opposing team spit.
Speaker 6 (18:04):
On the ball, Yeah yeah, during a field goal.
Speaker 7 (18:08):
And then I also one time we broke the huddle
for a punt and there was a B on the ball,
and I made the ref get to be off the ball.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
I'm not touching this right right, like someone get the
and then the ref came in.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
I do know if I'm allergic or not. I'm not
puffing up for this.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
I just didn't want to get stung on my hands.
You know, I got to use them. So now there's
only two things that have ever happened.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
To just a B on the ball. Never never had
to do that NASCAR thing, will you ever?
Speaker 5 (18:31):
Once in a while hear about offensive linemen who were
just like I could go behind the tent and just
let it go there. But instead I'm just on turn
number one, just gonna fire went off. They just pee themselves.
Speaker 7 (18:42):
We've come along, We've come a long way. Those days
we have a bathroom right behind our bench.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Okay, good, yeah, all right, I told you these are stupid,
all right?
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Number three here we go for the five typically stupid
vikings country questions.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
We've come a long way. I love that the ex
green superfood. Maybe grasshoppers.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Researchers in Cameroon have found that a diet of these
crunchy critters can boost your sleep, improve your hair.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
And even ramp up your libido. Okay, have you ever
eaten a bug?
Speaker 6 (19:17):
Not a purpose?
Speaker 4 (19:18):
Not a purpose? Would you eat bugs?
Speaker 6 (19:24):
I don't really want to.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
No, I don't either, And they always say the same thing.
Oh no, they're really crunchy and good you got when
you said crunchy and bugs.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
No, I don't.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
That is not an experience I need, even if I
need the libido to be picked up.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
No, not worth it.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
I mean, I've got four kids. I think my libido's fine.
I mean, if you ask my wife, she'd probably tell
you the same things.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
I mean, like we eat, we eat seafood. Right, doesn't
that count as like the bugs.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
Of the sea.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Don't ruin shrimp for me?
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Right?
Speaker 6 (19:51):
No, That's exactly where I'm going with we know.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
I know exactly that little trail that you gotta get
rid of when you nah, I don't think about it.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
I really you eat the poop trail.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
Why not. Oh my god, it's gotta be good for you, right.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
No, it can't, it can't. It can't.
Speaker 6 (20:04):
Let's if we say it, it's true.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
No, Andrew, you're eating poop.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Yeah, all right, I'm gonna skip to my last one
here after we spent so much time on shrimp poop.
Sam Donald tremendous, tremendous start for him here with the vikings,
But when it comes to Halloween he has to if
he hasn't done it already, I think he should go
(20:29):
as Dwight Troot from the office. If you take a picture,
if you guys grab your phones and you take you
grab your Google picture, Google image of Sam Donald and
then Dwight Trout, he's just glasses away.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
That's a good one. Where did you Where did you
come up with that?
Speaker 4 (20:44):
I was just staring at him. I was doing like
some prep and I'm like, oh my god, he looks
like Dwight Trump.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
I am. I am a very big office fan, and
I didn't even put that together.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
Now you'll never not see that.
Speaker 6 (20:56):
That's unfortunately, You're right, You're unfortunately right. Yep.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
You guys got so many new faces, and especially defensively,
and it's awesome.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
So far everything's been good.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Then Ginkle of course Grenard seems like a great too,
and he's all over the field. Cash Man we love
to see as Minnesota's having him back in the state
and playing, and of course Turner. But you guys, in
the last couple of years, it's been known, talked about,
we've talked about it, how the locker room is just
really really tight. Yeah, you know, a recert's here, he
(21:28):
can't get on the field because they think he's a kid.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
But but has that change, has that aspect changing in
what way? Or is it surprisingly the same?
Speaker 7 (21:40):
You know, I think the thing that Quasi doesn't get
enough credit for is not only bringing in great football players,
but great people that add to the value of the
locker room and don't tear it that fabric, you know,
tear it apart. Like so when we do something or
go out and we come back in the locker room,
we're in there having a good time. We're talking, we're
recapping on things where you know, making fun of each other,
(22:01):
cracking jokes. It's just like the guys in that locker
room and not only do they want to play well,
but they want to play well for each other, and
I think that's kind of the little secret sauce right now.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
He's a two time pro bowler, he's our long snapper
number forty two, and he's not afraid to eat shrimp poo.
Andrew to Paula, thank you so much, buddy, appreciate you
having it. And yeah, look soon for those uh bagel
balls there you go coming your way and they'll remember
this show. And you're like, I think must gave him
(22:31):
that idea right here when we are listening.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
I'm a fan. Miller Lite is brewed with great taste
and only great tape. The Miller Brewing Company would like
to issue a correction. Miller Lite is brewed to be
less feeling. What are you doing here? Miller Lite tastes great.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
Look, I'm just reading the script.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
It says less fillings. That's not what my script says.
Hell mindset. We'd like to apologize for the previous announcers.
Middle Light is in fact less feeling and taste great.
I'm be shine
