I see a lot of people who want to reinstate Prohibition, there is a reason that it failed because the moralizers on alcohol didn’t come to the realization that most people want to drink. You cannot legislate morals. Alcohol is also much more legislated than you realize, you try to ban it and all of the limits are gone instantly. There are problematic ways to use alcohol, gamble, and other vices, that doesn't mean that we should ban those vices, for the small minority who can't handle a vice well.

Situational awareness is one of the most important skills you can learn in life. A majority of accidents can be avoided or limited if you are watching your mirrors, turning your head and expecting the idiots will do the worst maneuver.

Be excellent to each other. Care for and love your friends and family.

[@Tbass-yy8uc]

Fact that nobody wants to talk about police said this was high speed. Everybody wants to totally blame it on alcohol but going high speed down the highway switching lanes is just as bad and probably causes more accidents than drunk driving. Yet everyone thinks it's cool to jump in a car and drive 100 miles an hour down at interstate weaving in and out of lanes.. it is also a major problem not just drunk driving

[@okstate999]

Yep. Covid helped facilitate this, and it has permanently stuck around. People going 100mph+ regularly. Cars going 90+ every time you get on the highway. People used to go 10 over, now 20+ is the norm. More people hate cops, don't care about the law, and just ignore the speed limits. Anyone on social media who calls out speeders gets attacked by a horde of them. Speeding causes more accidents and increases the severity, studies show it as well as physics. I don't understand why so many people do it. I don't have the money to burn through that much fuel all the time.

This news has hit me so hard. Football is football, but I firmly believe the Vikings organization is the best culture and has the best people in the NFL I think Judd is so spot on with always having a plan before you go out. Always have a backup, and just make sure you stay safe. After one of my best friends almost died from driving drunk a while back, and another one that was my roommate died drunk driving a year later, I’ve learned that if I don’t have my car to drive home with I’ll never drive. I’m serious. I’m so fortunate to still have my best friend, and it’s a pure fluke he’s alive and I got to see him on the 4th a decade after his crash. If I go out to have fun with friends that drink, I have friends pick me up, and have a place to crash or a time to Uber back home. It only takes a few minutes to make a plan, and it only takes one fluke to end everything. I can’t even imagine how people who actually knew Khyree feel, but hopefully this accident can save many lives through awareness and somehow makes a positive impact in the world. In terms of feedback. I think you guys are doing a wonderful job, and as long as it’s organic I trust you guys to steer the ship back to football talk. The transition today back to football was clunky, but it was nice football talk sprinkled in and it felt good to listen about the Jefferson series coming up. That depth chart article upset me a lot. I unsubscribed because it simply sucked to read that article. I’m sure it wasn’t purely intentional clickbait, but I was upset they updated it to “even before the tragic accident” the Vikings still had depth questions. It’s just tone-deaf and it’s an article. Maybe throw it into the back burner yeah?! Thank you guys. I’m kind of shocked that this upended me so hard, but listening to you guys talk about your perspectives has helped me process it way better than just shoving all of the emotions to the back of my head and keep trucking along.

I highly recommended looking into the Noah Presgrove case in Oklahoma. Still unsolved after almost a year, it was a homicide where underage binge drinking played a significant factor. Especially in rural America, there are entire cultures centered around drinking and partying, which repeatedly causes young people to get killed. You've got entire families consisting of dozens of people whos lives revolve around getting drunk. Saying we have a problem is an understatement. If you research that case youll discover that entire extended family are all alcoholics and it has resulted in 3 deaths over the last 4 years, including a 7 year old. They've gotten to where they just accept each death, move on and go right back to the same lifestyle.

Hey guys I hope you find this message. I hope all is well and would love for things to get back to normal. But if you are looking to kill some time I would love to know if Haaakuta SPIT ON THAT THANG and Sam Darnold are a thing. Rumor is Sam is all over that if you know what I mean. This is a win win for the Vikings. Let’s go baby SKOL!!!!!!

He was a passenger. He didn't do anything wrong.

My advice to young adults nothing good happens after midnight, if you can’t be smart be safe.

I think we need to ban cars nobody can drink and drive if we got rid of cars right?

[@docholliday6285]

Mama always said, nothing good happens after midnight.

[@jaredpribyl]

The problem is alcohol! People don’t make smart decisions when they drink. Yet u don’t understand why people make the dumb decision to drive after drinking…that’s what ppl do when they drink!! Make dumb decisions. Stop expecting people to make responsible decisions when they drink. Just stop drinking.

[@okstate999]

And excessive speed.

We are so far behind the world in the wrong ways.

We need to better as a society? Did you mean to DO better as a society?

Good show guys! Unfortunately, the topic is not only life changing but often leads to drastic results. I too was a witness to a drunk driver taking a human life. When I was just 10 years old, my best friend was killed riding his bicycle home after a man hit him and knocked him off his bike and threw him into a tree. He lived for 4 days but succumbed to his head injury. The culprit was a habitual offender of alcohol and sure enough years later committed the same offense again. The only way to reduce this haniius crime is to make the laws more severe. Let's face it, if you're pulled over for drunk driving, then you're lucky you didn't hurt or kill someone else at that time. You can't eliminate people, cars or alcohol but you can make the law so severely you would not risk the chance! First offense: 90 days in jail, $10,000 fine and all your paycheck for 1 year goes to the victim or cause of justice, NO exceptions! That is if nobody is harmed or injured. For worse offenses, the more severe the penalty It's absolutely senseless for Kyree to have died and any other victim of alcohol abuse, So sorry is not enough.

[@HarambetheWhite]

To quote WWE CM Punk Stright Edge means I'm better than the idiot who drives drunk.

[@wmpurple1]

It's all about responsibility, and all of them obviously have refused to take it. Shame. As 4 the Vikes: the are cursed, we know it. So many deaths or devastating or strange injuries over the past years. Hilarious. The before I die stuff: forget it.

Get back to business as usual over the next few days, but keep a year long tribute (KJ symbol or something) as part of the lower banner

Alcohol is incredibly overrated. Binge drinking has been normalized.

[@russchatman2351]

Nothing good happens after midnight.

[@danielcavegn9830]

Kyree not driving if he was drinking is not praiseworthy if the person driving the car he was in was driving after drinking. We just don't know enough yet.

[@lorenheaton7524]

That’s what I want to know too. Like I said above I highly doubt they were out getting a blizzard at Dairy Queen after midnight

[@djangorestraind596]

He was hit by a drunk driver

[@lorenheaton7524]

No matter the circumstances three young men lost their lives due to a drunk driver. I pose this question does anyone know where Jackson and his friends were coming from? I highly doubt they made a quick trip to Dairy Queen after midnight. Total shame and waste of lives but let’s get all the facts and toxicology reports first.

[@MichaelJMetz]

People don’t like to talk about it (mostly because the subject is misunderstood). Living life through the Lord Jesus Christ resolves 90% of society’s issues.

[@kentfischer765]

I know The hand wringing Minnesota people. But you need a real life chancing encounter with Jesus. The problem with Minnesota Nice it is a culture of I'm ok...I'm good I'm nice... but If you don't have Jesus you will miss heaven.

[@Chopper67]

I always thought Minnesota Nice was a saying to describe many Minnesotans' passive aggressive nature. Always trying to avoid direct conflict and never willing to call out people to their face.

[@dw2367]

An amalgomation of both. A level of blind ignorance.

[@DystopianUtopia8]

Sell your evangelical version of Jesus somewhere else. You're not special. It's what you needed. Most people didn't need ancient Abrahamic beliefs to behave morally.

[@gj4303]

Does anyone on this show have any hope to share with us? You want to see the vikes win a Super Bowl before you die - what else?

[@wmpurple1]

You watch way too much garbage, Phil. Netflix, good lord never, Olympics good lord no, soccer no second since 10 years. Grow up and learn, what you can get rid of and instead spend real quality time. The above is all old world BS no one needs.

[@joshMitchell-xt7pu]

This is a systematic problem with family morals and values and how you allowed to raise children in America now days it’s not just about booze

[@DystopianUtopia8]

No. It's about money. We could have very strict laws and we don't.

[@davidgullord2813]

Can u get off of the cousins hate. He's gone . Stop macky.

[@DystopianUtopia8]

Right after we get those 6 years back all will be forgiven.

[@LprogressivesANDliberals]

I hope judd and mackey have kids! Seriously as a man thinking about death with no kids to leave no legacy is a terrifying thought myself. Skol 🟣🟡

[@DystopianUtopia8]

Believe it or not the universe will find a way to carry on if not one of you has kids.

[@richborn6700]

Judd is probably a bit old for kids. Declan maybe but when they all refer to their dogs as their kids I roll my eyes

[@Vikesfan80]

Ship happens He just happened to be our draft pick Otherwise it would be a “lesser” story here locally anyway Yes, it’s a sad and tragic situation I’m mostly sorry for his family
