For your Behind the Horns segment I could do a recorded video, complete with family testimonials, about how I punched a wall and broke my hand one play before the Minneapolis Miracle as I was sure my beloved purple had choked that game away. As I was frantically searching for ice and whiskey the play happened. I had a cast for 4 weeks and I spent hours lying to healthcare providers about how it happened. I can also show the mediocre drywall patching and the unfazed wall stud. I then proceeded to watch dead eyed and emotionless with a purple cast as Nick f’ing Foles ruined my year. On Brett Favre’s interception in 09 I simply snapped my Motorola Razr in half. I believe I have grown and am ready for the next gut punch without property or bodily damage.

Matthew, you should legit do that "Behind the Horns" idea as a little (or maybe medium sized) project. Have fans call into a voice mailbox and leave 30-60 second messages, or do a long, free-flowing Zoom call where fans tell their stories and then you edit it into something later, or just use clips sporadically in your regular podcast recordings. You'd probably be the best Vikings beat person to do that, and I think you'd probably get a bunch of hilarious (and sad! but still hilarious!) stories. Vikings fans definitely have some shit to say that would, at the least, amuse other Vikings fans.

Steve (aka @KAAAAAHN_tk421), if you are reading this, I need to know a few things about your Twitter handle (because we've discussed this before):

1) Connecting The Wrath of Khan and Star Wars is a top-notch move and I must know why you did it. Ricardo Montalban was brilliant in his role, btw.;

2) Did you intentionally misspell Khan as Kahn?; and finally

3) I remain jealous of your Twitter name. But you know that.
