| 0:00.0 | All right, Emily Liker from the Star Tribune back. |
| 0:08.5 | And the last time you were on, we invented a little bit. |
| 0:12.3 | It was very creative with your name, super proud of it, called You Like That. |
| 0:16.8 | And the last time we went through a bunch of offseason ideas and you decided which one you liked. I don't even remember if we had a thought of Kyler Murray at that time. Maybe we did. I think there was a Kyler Murray one. Did we have a Kyler Murray one? Okay. I was on that for quite a while. Maybe just maybe. I mean, maybe it was a little bit of just hoping for entertainment value for |
| 0:38.9 | the offseason we've gotten that at the quarterback position but not so much elsewhere so I've |
| 0:43.3 | come up with four draft ideas for the Minnesota Vikings and you have to decide which ones |

| 1:34.4 | Yeah. I think it's a little bit of both, right? I mean, obviously, I've only been here for one |
| 1:39.5 | off season prior to this. So I got the 2025 off season and now this one. But it feels like in the past |
| 1:47.1 | couple years, off seasons were defined for the Vikings by some brash moves, both during |
| 1:53.4 | free agency and during the draft and maybe some impulsive moves or as we've heard some some reaches, |
