and Hello welcome to another episode of Purple Insider Matthew Collar here and joining me for his first appearance on the show it's going to be a hot one Bart Winkler of the Bart Winkler show and of the fire dudes from radio club who are now happier people what is up bar how are you

Well, I'm good. Thank you for having me. I'm excited for my first appearance. I'm a little worried that it will be my last.

I go on, I go on, so I still do some national radio shifts and I put out these two disclaimers to the national audience.

I say, I feel like I can talk about your teams.

If you want to call, I can talk about your teams.

I'm an equal opportunity employer, but there's two takes that you must know that I have

one Nikola Yoko should not be the MVP to I don't understand why anyone in their

right mind would willingly be a Vikings fan. So with that being said, thank you for having me.

Well, and no one in Minnesota can possibly understand why anybody would live in Wisconsin. So, you know, I think that, and yet,

you know what I've noticed, Bart,

because I grew up in Buffalo and then moved here

to cover the Vikings, is that the tailgates

outside of either US Bank Stadium, but especially Lambo, they feature a lot of intermingling of these two states.

It's the most Midwest thing. Like they dislike each other deeply and yet are still willing to be near each other and cook some form of sausage and then eat it together.

So I feel like that's us like even though there's some real differences here in the way we're going to look at the world,

we could still maybe enjoy some meets and talks in football.

Well, I do feel like if there was ever like a battle of states or whatever we would we would end up being on the same team we would fight for the same causes for the same team if we didn't kill each other first.

We probably have more similarities between Minnesota and Wisconsin

than anyone actually wants to admit there is a comedian who I see on

YouTube or and Tik-Toc is the fall we show up who is from Wisconsin but does Midwest type of humor.

Everything he's talking about also applies to Minnesota. So I'm sure Minnesotans do not want to hear that, but that's absolutely true. So we're going to look at though, we're going to look at all the teams in the NFC North,

because we've got a minute here to assess.
