Parrish and tag at ABC will help through the end of Sunday and one lucky winner will win a one hundred dollars Visa gift card. Thank you, ABC. Let's go. Good guys, Kevin. For like a year or two now, we've talked about the big theater room you guys have at TCO, that awesome room that's
right next to the TV studio. Yeah, we've said we got to do a power trip broadcast and get like four or five vikings including you and you guys just square off against each other at tco. So we'll make it convenient for you, will come your way and just play right in that main theater room. I love that. Be sweet. Yeah, that'll be uh, that'd be awesome. You guys are great, man. I am so disappointed
right now. It is not an easy game. And don't know if I was ready for the for the stairs today when you I mean, she's me. I'm lucky on far enough away. Yes, there might been an elbows. Something takes over. I don't know what it is. It's the game, it's the music. Brown liquorice is dynamite. What the hell chocolate licorice, It's right there with all of the other kinds. And get that cub you ca get out of Walgreens. I highly encourage it. I almost I
had brown liquorice in my head. And then when you said half of all Americans hate this, I was like, oh, it's definitely not brown liquorge because that's awesome black. And then I was like, duh, I mean, really gross, coach. You guys are going to London this year? Is that in your body? Do you love it? It's a little it's a little bit of both. I mean, obviously the travel and everything and you know we we are taking the bye week after this year. We did
not my first year. It was a week or two earlier. But no, it's I'll tell you what's crazy is when you go over there and there's a ton of Vikings fans. Uh there we weren't even the home team and twenty two and we by far outnumbered the Saints fans that were there. So hoping for a big showing and obviously gonna be a huge game planning inst the Jets. This is one of them. This is Andy. He's just from England. He just he fell in love with the Viking so then he listened
to this station and now he's like a friend of the show. But British Andy just is an absolute NFL roup. So he'll be at all your games. Have you been to a game over there? All of them, all of them, every single We'll see you there. He's got the season tickets. Watch he's ticket for the NFL. So I got to all the Toutenham Wembley games. What a place. Yeah, it's a great Stadius Bank as well. Say that's awesome. Believe I'm here for the pebble. Let's go.
And that's a fake accent, Coach, where are you in your summer process of you know, the season gets so lengthened and football players will say, well, come forth to July. That's it. It's over something that is the end of summer for them. Did you get a summer and where are you in the ramp up process right now on July nineteen? Yeah, about a week or two left. It's always kind of you know, my mind goes to there's so many things from scheduling to making sure everything's ready to
go for when our guys come back. My mind kind of goes there. The summer has been cut short a little bit, you know, more this year than others, just because of some of the events that have kind of taken place. But I would say I had a very very good summer with the family, and more importantly, I'm ready to go. Coach. I'm going back to your playing career real quick. You got drafted by the Patriots,
right, yep? Tom Brady was your quarterback there, right he was tell me about going in and being a rookie when Tom Brady's the starter in New England. Yeah, I just you know, I remember as a kid, I had a dream to you know, hopefully one day be an NFL quarterback and get to be a starting quarterback, future Hall of Fame quarterback. Gets a little harder to do when you walk in the room that first day
and that guy sitting there, But what an unbelievable opportunity. And really, you know, it's kind of as we've learned more and more about Tom whether it's some of the stuff he's done post career, but what people are learning about him, he is an unbelievable human being and was huge for me, even you know, still long after being a teammate for only you know, a little bit over a year year plus almost two years, whatever it was, you know, still you know, keeps in touch and and and actually
it's funny, a lot of guys are pretty pretty big fans of the fact that I became a coach and I'm now a head coach, and now that he's broadcast and we'll hopefully get a few games with him and the booth and I get to spend some time with him. Maybe the player on the team currently that is most likely to be a head coach at some point in their future. Currently, I would say I would not be surprised if if Brian O'Neill, Brian O'Neil, and then the other one. I would say,
new member. Couldn't believe that the Green Bay Packers let us have him would be Aaron Jones. I mean, for the impact that he's had just on human beings and people in our building in about three months time, it's remarkable and everything I had ever heard about the guys, it's a ringing endorsement of who he is as a a leader, and he's already assumed a big time role with us. Wow, quickly, what are your quick thoughts on Dallas Turner? One of the reactions is when they just drafted him. Was your
reaction that went viral? What are your thoughts on him? Yeah? My reaction was real. You know. I thought we had been trying to trade up to you know, to get him, and I thought there was no chance once we kind of were told no by a previous team picking a pick
or two ahead, so I was kind of out of it. I was kind of talking to somebody else in the room and then I heard we were getting him, and that was kind of my I thought the perfect scenario would be getting a true impact player for our defense to go along with a quarterback. We thought we could really build around and to be able to do that. That was my reaction the moment. There was a lot of hours and
time and energy spent hoping for that outcome. So when it happened. You know, I'm not always I should be aware by now that there's going to be a camera as there currently is right now, there should be a camera near or around me. But I would say that was as genuine as I can possibly tell you because of my exciting level time, He's gonna be outstanding. How often do your friends and family use that meme against you, that gift of you making that face? Yeah, I get texted that a lot.
I did. I did go on a golf trip with some buddies. I do it every year. And uh, you know, the other team was letting us know of a birdie putt that went in and they sent that meme right afterwards. So I get it from time to time, and I'm sure I have not seen that for the last time. I know that for sure. That's good. Appreciate you coming in and it was fun. Yeah, this was fun, man. I gotta be honest. I'm I'm definitely
gonna be back. It might not be for a few weeks or months from from now, but I'm coming back and we're going to build up that triumphant return and I may not sit next to you next. He's not wrong. He's not wrong than you. Thanks, good luck this year, coach. All right, well we're back on Monday. Don't forget. The Initials tournament starts on Monday.
