I'm excited to welcome back a weekly guest as we continue throughout this NFL season, s z N season. Jake as always, welcome back.

It's a pleasure to be here. I assume you have me on for one reason.

Yeah, talk about football.

Oh no, we didn't win People's Sexiest Podcast Hosts?

Ah?

What did you see?

Who did?

Was it the Kelsey brothers?

The Kelsey brothers did win People's Sexiest Podcast Hosts?

Well, this is ridiculous.

Well, I assume we did one. This is what I thought you were gonna. I thought that's where you bring me on. And we know who Tony. We know what Tony? NBA Tony didn't you know? No, So I thought it was us.

Yeah. I love how you called NBA Tony out. Maybe may maybe we need to come together and have a little three way podcast discussion. That'd be great about everything sports. That would be fun.

I haven't talked to him since your wedding.

It's ridiculous. Do you think that the only reason why they won Sexiest Podcast host is because of Travis's relationship with Taylor Swift?

Think about thousands and thousands of podcasts there are mm hmm. There's got to be two better looking people. I'm just saying, not that they're you know, they're they're there's suave men, right, they they take care of themselves. But I don't know, I just thought we'd be in the running at least, you know, at least it's like, hey, thanks, you got fifth you know, yeah, but nothing.

Mm hmmm, it's all stupid. I mean, Travis Kelcey, Jason Kelcey, they've got the NFL knowledge, right, they're former players, they've got the It's really it's not even necessarily an attractive contest, more so than it is a popularity contest. So who ever is voting for this award, they're voting on the wrong reasons. Because I gotta go upstairs and ask my wife there's an unbiased opinion and say who's sexier me or Travis Kelcey. You shall say me for sure. So I don't know. Maybe it's Trafvor. Maybe it's Taylor Swood voting for this award. Who's pulling the strings behind the scenes to make something like this happen.

I think, might say Travis. So maybe it is the right award. I'm not sure.

I don't know sure. Anyways, Well, I thank you for bringing that up, because now we need to explore who's voting for this. Yes, if it's a male in, is a mail in, and you know there's absentee voting, and maybe the people that aren't even allowed to vote are voting for this award.

We need to turn our sights to twenty twenty fives Sexiest Podcast Hosts award is what we did to do. We need to start making decisions now that will lead to that award in the future.

Well, I think I'm looking decent this morning. Typically I just go down and I do got the sweatpants on. So maybe that's my problem. Maybe I need to up my annie a little bit.

Yeah, I didn't really do my hair this morning. Beard's getting a little long. I haven't trimmed it in a few weeks, so it's getting kind of fluffy.

We're going with that country look, right, you know, the kind of rugged rugged, Yeah, rugged and tough. You know, we're born in the sticks.

Rugged and tough. I think Minnesota, Tim, And that's the.

Right exactly, That's so that's what we do. We were born in the sticks. My mom gave birth next to deer and bears and raccoons and snakes, so we're born in the woods. Here's a question for you. If you had to, you know, pick a place to live. Would you rather live in downtown Manhattan in New York City? Is Manhattan in New York City? Two different things? Or is Manhattan a suburb in New York City? Yeah? Okay, so New York City has its own suburb.

Well, New York City is so big. It's the Burroughs, right, that's like Brooklyn And yeah, I can't even think of the other ones right now, so I think Manhattan there's like six.

Of them or something.

Okay, wow. Anyways, So if you had to choose between living in the middle of nowhere literally like you're in the sticks five miles in and there's no one near you or anywhere close private, private oasis. There's a little pond there so you can go fishing if you want, or downtown Manhattan. Which place would you choose to live?

Middle of nowhere? Well?

Nowhere even though it takes five mile walk to get to your car, they have to.

I have to park my car and then walk five miles.

Well, there's no there's no roadway.

You're in the middle of the sticks five miles.

I would probably put a bike out at least second.

Oh, there you go. That bike would work. Pave your own path.

Yeah, a little passing bike.

Yeah, yeah, it's an interesting experiment. I've seen stuff like that posted online before. But anyways, do you know what the Vikings we like?

We like low key right?

Yeah.

Oh, you're a city's person now that you live in the metro, so I don't know. Maybe you would say, Manette.

Hell, I do live twenty five minutes away from the cities. Takes me thirty two minutes to get to the wild game, or at least home, I should say home takes longer than that to get there because of bumper to bumper traffic. But the Vikings are five and two. Yeah, they lost to the Los Angeles Ramps and have a big game Sunday night against the Indianapolis Colts. What's your reaction to this? We kind of warren Minnesota Vikings fans, and we said that is going to happen, and here we are. Five and two. Would have been last place in the NFC north of number twenty nine from the Chicago Bears. Whoever that is was paying attention and guarding his player and didn't bat the ball right to his own player that he was supposed to be guarding. Yeah, so well give it to me.

Well, we'll dial up the excuse computer a little bit. But we talked about these things, right one mm hm. A Thursday night game, not easy, not easy on the road, Thursday night on the road, following.

A game against the Lions, i'd.

Say, following a game against what you could say is the best team in the NFL besides maybe the Chiefs.

So that's tough.

Sean McVay, it's never gonna be easy to play a Sean McVay team, you know, and especially with that rivalry, right, he's gonna I mean they all kind of know, but he knows what Kevin O'Connell's doing and all that, you know, Right, it's the they come from the same system.

M H.

Cooper Cup coming back was huge. And then what we obviously had no idea was the Pakua.

Right, what a secret that was?

Yeah, that seems kind of mysterious. How he else was oh yeah, he's good to go.

Now, right, caustiously optimistic that he's gonna play.

Yeah.

So with those two, their offense goes from you know, Matt Stafford and a whole bunch of nobody's no offense. Tyler Johnson go for a love to champion, right too?

Well? True?

Yeah with the Bucks, right, yeah, with the Bucks. Yeah.

But then all of a sudden, Cooper Cuptain Puka. It's that's two of the top you know, whatever you might want to say, but top ten or fifteen receivers in the league. Right, So now, all of a sudden, it's a big deal. So offense was good. The only the biggest concern was defensively, right, we couldn't slow them down a little.

Bit, right, And I didn't realize how valuable Blake cash And was to this defensive squad because him in two games it looked atrocious.

Yeah, and we've heard a lot about like the pressures that were not really generating pressure from the inside. We're not really generating our blitzes aren't really getting home the last two weeks, the five six man kind of blitzes. We're leaving our corners out to you know, hanging out to dry. So they gotta fix that and work on that. Disappointing. Our guy has only been out there. I think he played what fifteen snaps the last two games combined. Dallas Turner, I think it is, which is kind of disappointing to hope he'd be a little further along. I don't think they like his coverage skills out of that three four compared to Grenard or Van Ginkle's obviously a savanted covering and blissing, so he needs to be out there. And obviously Grenards your a big money guy. But yeah, so's I mean disappointing. I don't know, not really, we kind of I.

Don't think you and I get disappointed by Vikings losses. That we're fans of the Minnesota Vikings, and I mean we can get disappointed by lot, but like our days are not going to be shattered because the Vikings lost.

No, and in like we can be disappointing their performance, but right, we're not going to be like personally like you know, yeah effected. I mean, the last time I swore I would never have and to me was that Seahawks kick. Was the last time I remember the Seahawks. We you know, I was watching my door room and I saw the kick and I kicked my door.

Pretty wow, I'm surprised that you did that.

It wasn't my door, so I care.

Somebody else's door, and no one was in our apartment. You know, it was like a six man door or whatever, and yeah, I kicked the door and it kind of hurt because I came to pretty hard, and I was like, well, I probably should never let that happen again.

So I think the last time was for me. It was Brett Farrest pick and No. Nine.

It's because the funny part about age.

I was in like seventh grade or that would have been her eighth grade, and I just didn't process like we I just remember because we were at the sales house and then once they last we just went outside and played football and like.

It was like, oh, I care, where's our sponsorship through the painting company? Come on?

Still whacking?

Yeah, it's ridiculous.

So no, I mean if the Rams made a playoff, would you be surprised?

No? No, especially in their division everyone's four four except for them, they're three and four.

Yeah, so that's it, you know, yeh. Would you like to see him play a little better? Yeah? Uh, hopefully Sam Donald's head. Right, I saw did you see the you know, I mean the ref thing that was unfortunate, right, Sam be twisted?

But right, I don't know, it's.

To me, it's a terrible miscall obviously, and there's been a lot of fun Halloween jokes out there with like a blind referee and Sam Donald getting his face masks twisted. But that play is on Sam Donald, that is, It is on the referees, if not more on Sam Donald in my opinion, because he was holding the ball forever in the backfield and he's standing in his own end zone, and that's just not something that you can do when you're down by eight and you need a touchdown. You can't do that at any point during the game when you're standing in your own end zone. You need to get the get rid of the ball quicker then you typically would, and he was sitting back there in the pocket for a long time without starting left tackle Christian Daris saw, so even without him, you need to recognize what the situation is. You're staying in your own end zone. You need to get rid of the ball. And obviously it was a terrible misscall, but the only reason why we're in that situation to begin with was Sam Donald holding out of the football too long.

And it's a.

Bummer, right, You hate to see a game end because of a miscall, and it's not often that it directly happens like that, right, you know, people are, well, well, is he really gonna drive ninety whatever yards?

Totally?

You know, I saw somebody tweet out when he was at the Jets he did have one game winning drive that started his own like five yard line or something like that, So like, you know, what, is it possible? Yeah, it's first intent from the twenty yard line at that point, it's possible. You know, you'd like to at least have the opportunity. So yeah, definitely a bummer. It's always surprising with you know, how much replay assists and all this stuff that we have, Like what is is there any less clarity than what is Hey, we can look at this, but we can't look at this. We can look this time, but not during this time.

I don't know.

I think they're gonna be way more weary of what they can look at because and changing the rules for certain situations, because what a year or two ago they made defensive pass interference and offensive pass interference a reviewable play, and that was stupid to begin with, because that is such a judgment call, and when you slow it down to instant replay, yeah, there's gonna be fighting and jabbing on every single play what is and what is holding? There's too much opinion involved in that, whereas a face mask there really shouldn't be opinion involved in that situation either, right, So that is I would guess more of a reviewable situation. But every time there's a face mask and it's missed, you really want to have it go to replay all the time. The games are ready to take forever.

Yeah, and I don't, right, you don't want to see I would rather have missed calls and have a smooth game because, like, reffing is still a very hard job. Like they get plenty of calls wrecked and it's human error.

I like that.

I like that we have human beings that were paying to do this and all that stuff. Like totally, I'd rather have that than have it be like automated where every call is perfect. It's like same, Like it's like I don't care their human error.

Is part of it, right. Part of the fun is the next day we can.

Talk about how bad the ref was or oh, like that refs you know, past interference that was lucky.

You know, you're right, Yeah, the wind costumes were inspired by the rest.

Exactly I did there's something new on Sunday night foot bott Speaking of rafts, did you or maybe a Monday night?

It was Monday night.

I didn't know Steelers Giants game.

Yeah, I didn't know that putting one foot down twice did not count? You know what I mean to see that Pickens catch.

The Pickens catch. Yeah, you didn't realize that didn't count.

No, because you guys left foot down twice, like, so you think it's.

Like two feet, right? That was? It's two feet?

Like?

Could I not?

If I caught the ball and hop down the field with one foot but then I stepped out of bounds, it would be incomplete.

I don't know, just interesting.

That's an interesting thought. But because it was the same foot.

Hap your same foot for to count? Assess? Because what if the one guy has your right leg and you're just hopping down you know.

Well, maybe that should be the new defensive tactic. Yeah, right, receiver catches it, yeah exactly, Yeah, give a pig give him a piggyback right out of bounce.

Yeah, not a catch. Not two feet.

But if you get your elbow down but crack down even yeah, I think what leg counts as two feet or something like that? So, but yeah, two feet, same foot doesn't count. That's an interesting play, Like how does he not get that foot down? I saw, I saw him post the video. This is Someone said something like this is the this is a non catch that looks like a catch.

Right, something like that catching when they review every catch, it's like, well the ball when they hit the ground, you know it turned.

About right, yeah exactly.

It's like you should just show a random person who's not a fan a football and.

Just say catch. It is not a catch.

Right, yeah, yeah, it looks like you catch me right. Yeah, it's over complicated some of these things. But his foot was underneath the ball. The ball hit the ground with the ball didn't.

Move all right, it's a it's a catch. His hands shifted and then the ball.

Yeah, the ball twisted just like you see how it moved an inch, so like the brown exactly.

Whatever do you think the Vikings bounced back on Sunday Night, Joe Flacco.

I say, I'm nervous now.

They went from right, yeah, Joe, way better than Anthony Richardson.

Yeah, I guess it was a lower QBR on the season h Bryce Young or Anthony.

Richardson, I would guess Bryce Young, you would guess wrong, Anthony, Really, Anthony Richardson, it's close.

I remember it was like some Bryce Young was like fifty seven and or something like that, and then Richardson was like fifty six or fifty five. But yeah, that's the level of play we're talking about. I think at one point Richardson was like three for like seventeen last game. I remember he finished offs, he threw a touchdown later and whatever. They got a little better.

But it's so sad because for him, people are so excited about his rookie year, the things he was doing, but his completion percentage in college was terrible. He is exactly what he was in college, which was an athlete who runs and then is a struggle to make any kind of NFL type passing.

Right.

He throws those college passes that and guys break open whatever, but he's not a hasn't been a NFL quarterback style passer. So no, honestly, Blacko makes them more competitive. That's worse for the Vikings. No, he's a statue.

So they do have a good offensive line.

They do, but not. I mean, it'll be a real test. Can we actually generate some pressure because Flaco is not going to avoid.

Any of it.

You know, he's chuck it more than any other quarterback. Like he's going to take a risk risks throughout this game. And I mean that's why he's really a remarkable story from the Ravens. He played for the Broncos a year, then to the Jets for three years. NFL careers over Brown's bring them in, takes them to the playoffs. Colts bring them in the bench Anthony Richardson for him, and their offensive offense looks competent with Joe Flacco. So and and the Draft Kings sports book, the Vikings were originally minus seven to win. They substitute Joe Flacco in. Now the Vikings are minus five. It's a big two point difference.

Yeah, And honestly, I wouldn't even put us at five if I was. I think the Vikings are the better team even in Mahome, which obviously is a big deal. But I do five points is still a lot for Colts who are are not bad. You know, what are they four and four or something like that. Yeah, So, I don't know that makes me nervous. It's another it's a nerve like after this, it gets a smidge easier. This is kind of a nerve wracking game a little.

Bit, especially after the loss against the Rams and spiraling right now after two game losing streak. You gotta you gotta respond. I gotta respond. The Minnesota Vikings put up a basketball hoop in their practice facility. Yeah, and uh, I got I pulled, I pulled the video to watch this. Let's just watch this video. And they got blocked by the room every single time. But I applaud the effort. How hard do you think it is to dunk with pads on?

And then it can't be easy. It's hard to dunk without pads on for most of us. That's true, right, And I guess six five, but there's six four, six five and three three hundred pounds.

So right, it was exactly ten feet.

Yeah, I wonder if it was that looked like a high school basketball practice that I've been at, where to be dunk and then every single kid like just slams it off the rim. So yeah, you're about a foot away from dunking stone man.

I think that it looked like a lot of backup linemen trying to do attempt that looked like some practice squad players. I didn't see any starters trying to complain that.

And a few of them, if they did take off their pads and really like tried, they were close enough that they could have.

Yeah.

I don't know if it was truly ten feet or not, but a few of them got up there. They just you know, take off your shoulder pads and practice jumping a little bit.

They'd be able to dunk a bet mm hmm.

For sure.

It is sneaky how you can be at three hundred pounds. I feel like we kind of underestimate that, like how big bitch tru they are totally, and then how like quick their feet still are, how they can still jump explosively.

You know, you know, you.

See retired Lineman Elsen. They lose the extra you know, eighty pounds that they didn't need that they had because they were Lineman Elson. They are you know, they got chiseled you know, chiseled muscles, and they just are freaking athletes. It's like, yeah, you forget how you think they're just big, right and that's all they are. It's like they are special, right, just we forget about it, I think.

Right, you think about you forget about just how big and quick and agile they are. Yeah. Yeah, did you see the dwayn Wade statue? What were your thoughts on the dwayn Wade statue? How would you categorize that? Would that be a statue that would win sexiest Statues?

No?

You know, you know what it looked like. I think you'll get this reference. I have no idea what the guy's name is, but from.

Rocky Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the trainer.

The trainer guy was like throw the damn like screaming during Uh was that Rocky four when they.

At them?

Yeah, someone posted the picture of it right here.

Oh there you go, Yeah, look at that.

Oh that was my first thought.

I just how, first of all, you show that to anybody, even like I should. You can show to anybody I should, like, I have no idea that it is like, yeah, no one does.

Some of the worst statues ever.

Yeah, it's literally how many people had to approve That's like how many sign offs? How many different people have looked at that and went, yeah, this will this will be good, you know, and like, I don't even know this is a good. This is a stupid twenty four question. How is the statue made?

Is that a machine is that three D printed. I don't.

I can't imagine that was three D printed because I've seen three D prints that are better. You know, obviously you can't three D print like a metal I don't. I got My point is, did somebody make that by hand?

Right?

Don't sit there? Chiseling the way they did, you know, a thousand years ago?

I don't know.

The good question was that made?

And how did they get approved? That's my question.

Well, I just googled what is how or how is a statue made? And the AI overviewed that comes up as sculptures use a variety of techniques to create statues, including carving, modeling, castling or casting, casting and assembling, So it sounds.

Like the.

Nineteen ten's way of making a statue, okay is what it's?

Then? I don't know. I just can't.

Like even he looked around like, hey, who's that guy?

Yeah?

Yeah, it's bad.

It's one of the words fun. And you've seen successful statues, I mean they exist. Scottie Pippen posted a picture of him with his statue and it looked like Scottie Pippen.

But I don't know if you.

Has a better statue than that.

Right, Joe Mallers is fine.

I will say, you see, like the NFL, like when they get inducted in the NFL, like they're you know, they have their top half or whatever. Sometimes those are pretty funky looking too. Expression that's a tough facial expression to get into a statue.

Yeah.

It also just makes him look angry, which I don't know if I'd want my statue to look like a yelling.

Just looks like he's taking a big, massive dump and he's trying to force that out. Is a little backed up, and he is struggling with it, you know, getting that thing out of there. Yea constipated Yeah, Yeah, looks a little constipated in that one.

I almost cried laughing. I saw somebody edit the famous Lebron dunk where Wade his arms out and it was the statue head was on Dwayne Wade.

I'll share the screen for you, I said, is a reply to that video or that picture that I've showed you, Right.

That's been like so the Internet sometimes is just a you know, assessed pool of annoying people and just people that you can't believe are real and arguing and bickering. And then sometimes the Internet is just glorious and Dwayne Wade statue was in a moment where it's like, I'm glad the Internet exists because this is entertainment totally.

The internet has good memes. Yeah, if you want to get into a sports debate or a sports opinion, you want to share that online and you somehow mistakenly say the Lion's record off by a one game, then you're gonna get fifteen fans and you common feed saying they're foe one, No three and okay, thank you, thank the other one.

But you know, so we did our like koc bit like we're oh yes, and I don't get it because I don't. Maybe I'm just completely out of touch, but I thought like my point was just saying one they don't posted at which but I would actually like to see what he says to the team because it probably is it probably still is motivational and still is very because that's who he is, right Like I would imagine his speeches are still very like intense and motivational. And it was just the bit of like he always has such a high level of whatever, like his class would be so good that he would just compliment the other team as well. Like as part of it, like, well they deserve it this time, Like it was just like a yeah, harmless bit and people. But if you look at all the comments since people who.

Are oh man, their week was.

Ruined because the Vikings lasts, it's like, wow, that's never gonna be us.

I guess, but.

Right I'm trying to find it. I can't find it right now.

But what people get fired up about always surprises me.

Mm hmm. We were after the Lions game.

We weren't ripping ks, we weren't saying as a bad coach, we weren't saying to get a bad speeches. There's just simply it'd be they don't post it after a loss. One would be interesting to actually see it, and two it'd be funny if he complimented the Lions instead of the vision.

Yeah, let's take a look at I found it. Let's look at these comments. Look at these comments that people shared. These two definitely voted for Biden. You guys are morons. Look at the stat totals of both teams. It doesn't get even more more even than that, this knucklehead.

We talked about the whole time.

We said, yeah, but like you know, I take one clip and I don't watch the full episode. Yeah, this knucklehead shows that he doesn't know Jack with a comment los into a team like the Detroit Lions. Gee, they're only the defending division champions that were halfway from the Super bowl.

S M D H and which if you agreed, idiot, we can't share that one.

Yeah, this is stupid. Why do Packers fans spend so much time talking about the Vikings? Nerds? Mock all you want? You want to crown the beloved lines, now go for it. Dumbest thing I've ever seen. While you two are dumbasses, you suck, move out of mom's move out of mom's basement, and shut the h up. Uh fat cats get slaughtered? Was I don't get that one?

Well?

I think you're saying the Vikings were kind of since we were undefeated, they kind of weren't ready because you, like a fat cat usually like like a lazy like you, you're not ready, So that one might have been in our defense saying like, hey, the Vikings got beat, although again we weren't ripping the Vikings at all, right when they weren't trying to.

And then you this one of my my favorite wonder if Tim mom knows he's in the basement wasting electricity and w tf is the deal with the headphones? Tell me you don't know anything without telling me you don't know anything.

Yeah, and just bizarre what people decide to comment.

To super funny. I love the mom's basement ones because besides summers during college or whatever, I haven't lived at my parents' house since high school. Right, yeah, so it's funny. Hot, it's funny with.

The internet this, yeah.

Yeah, but anything else that you wanted to share.

No, it just yeah, it just makes me chuckle.

I'm sure we'll get some sort of did we say anything somewhat controversial that they haven't know? Maybe I don't like the Wayne State Wade statue. Now we're gonna g the art community is gonna come after.

Us well our sexiest podcast host.

Oh yeah, that will get Yeah. I don't can you not maybe put that one in the mini real because otherwise all the comments like, man, the two ugly people are talking, but why they do.

Totally? Yeah, it's probably true, but it drives listens.

I know, I don't care. I don't get offended by much, so I'm okay, that's good. I just think When I saw that video, I was like, why are people so fired up about this?

It's funny.

I don't know what a funny bit?

Yeah, yeah, I would agree. Yeah, it's got thirteen thousand views on that reel.

Right, so negativity drives even though again we weren't even.

Really being negative.

No, we're just having fun. Yeah, it's not like we were saying that KOs is a bad code.

No, We've talked about it plenty of times. I hope is here for the next ten years. Clearly he is a great coach. Yeah, and I hope they don't let him walk.

But then you say that one bad play call he had at that one point during that one game.

Yep, yep.

Insight is always twenty twenty right, no matter what you do there, they could always do something else.

Yeah, but Jake thinking it was always for your time, for your wisdom, for your intelligence, for your smarts, and for your sexionist.

Again, I think we got week. We should have won the award. So twenty Minnesota Tim, maybe NBA Tony Sexiest podcast Hosts.

Well, I'd vote for you. Maybe you and Tony should host a podcast together on the Minnesota Tim Show. And then.

And then submit that one as.

The submit that one. Yep, maybe I'm holding us back.

I might be Tim podcast Minnesota Tim featuring and Tony.

It'll be fun conversation. I've tuned for that. Yeah, I'll be curious to see where it goes.

NBA would be about all we got.

It's making Eagles guy.

Yeah, we can talk about that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Did you listen to Tony Nice podcast the other day?

I did not yet know. Now I'm went to school and coaching and stuff. I don't listen as much football still going on on. Well, I've helped with varsity, so yeah, we played the.
