00:00Head coach for the Minnesota Vikings, Kevin O'Connell.
00:04What's going on, guys?
00:05How old are you?
00:0639.
00:06You're 39 years old, and you're a head coach in the NFL?
00:09Yep.
00:09Aren't the older coaches wiser?
00:11I think the right coach for the right fit could be a young coach, could be an old coach.
00:17Well, you're on record as saying it doesn't matter if it's a young man or it's an old man,
00:21as long as it's not a woo man.
00:24Yeah, I don't believe that.
00:25Tell me what you're saying.
00:26I think there's some good, great female coaches in our league already.
00:31You think they can manage a good drive?
00:34I think they can coach football at a high level.
00:36But I asked about the drive.
00:37Yeah, I know you did.
00:38And I noticed you didn't answer it.
00:40I did answer it.
00:40You do a lot of coach speak.
00:41You know what that is?
00:43I'm familiar with it.
00:44Why do you do so much coach speak?
00:45I'm a coach.
00:46A lot of stuff you say, it's just you're rambling.
00:48It doesn't really mean anything.
00:49Yeah, I'm used to answering questions that I maybe don't necessarily want to answer,
00:52but I still answer them anyway.
00:55Can I ask you a question I think the rest of Minnesota is wondering right now?
00:59Yes.
00:59What time does the bar open?
01:02I do not know.
01:03It depends what bar.
01:04Some drinkers out here, huh?
01:07When you get an opportunity to enjoy yourself around here, it's the best part of Minnesota.
01:11Got great people.
01:12Purple people drinkers.
01:13I have not heard that before.
01:16I have not heard that before.
01:19I don't know if you know this or not.
01:21I actually have family from Minnesota.
01:23I learned that today.
01:24Vikings fans.
01:25Yeah.
01:26Do you mind if we do a new segment presented by DraftKings?
01:28Yes, please.
01:29So this new segment is called Question from a Fan.
01:32Love it.
01:32These are real Vikings fans from Warren, Minnesota, about five hours north.
01:37Love it.
01:37Is that okay?
01:38That's okay.
01:38This is just a question from a fan.
01:40Yeah.
01:40This happens to be also my little cousin.
01:42Do you really love us here in Minnesota or are you just here for the money and women?
01:46And as a follow-up, if you are here for the women, do you know that you came to the wrong place?
01:54There's a lot to unpack there.
01:55I'll start out by saying that I love Minnesota.
01:58I love our fans.
01:59You love him and the rest of his Minnesotans.
02:01Are you here for the money and women?
02:03I do love him.
02:04Money or women?
02:05I'm good there.
02:07Coach, do you mind if we ask you one more question?
02:09Now, this one's not from a fan.
02:10Do you mind if we do a continuation of the DraftKings segment that we already started,
02:13but this time it's a question from another NFL coach?
02:17No way.
02:19Is it really or are you making it up?
02:20This is really.
02:21Okay.
02:23You ready for your question yet?
02:24I don't have one.
02:25Okay.
02:26I never have one.
02:27This question is from a fellow NFL coach, Brandon Staley.
02:31Good friend of mine.
02:32Yes.
02:33Assistant head coach of the San Francisco 49ers.
02:35And this is the quote he gave me.
02:38Kevin O'Connell chokes his chicken so hard he throws up in the car.
02:44That, believe it or not, would be accurate.
02:49I, uh, one time right in front of Brandon.
02:51Right in front of him.
02:52I had a chicken sandwich and I legitimately choked in the backseat of the car.
02:57And I looked over at him for help in the moment.
03:00And he looked at me and then just took another bite of his chicken sandwich and kept it moving.
03:04So that's true.
03:05It's true.
03:06Okay.
03:06Kevin O'Connell chokes his chicken so hard he throws up.
03:10It's good to know.
03:12It's good to have friends and colleagues in the same business as you.
03:15It is.
03:16That's how me and Glennie Balls are sometimes.
03:17Yep.
03:18I haven't seen that friendship here today.
03:21It seems like you guys are...
03:23Is everything all right?
03:24Everything's great.
03:25Yeah, we're good.
03:25Yeah.
03:26This is just kind of how we are.
03:27It's dynamic.
03:28Lightning rod and...
03:29Yeah, lightning and thunder.
03:30Thunder and lightning, kind of.
03:31Yeah.
03:31He's more rain.
03:32I consider him like a depressing Seattle rain.
03:36Why?
03:36Coach, right here in my notes it says I wrote in my notes,
03:41Cowboys cheerleaders.
03:43You did?
03:44Yeah.
03:47I can't remember why I wrote that, but...
03:48Is it a question?
03:49I just wrote Cowboys cheerleaders in my notes.
03:55Care to comment on that or I don't really know where I was going.
03:57Yeah, no, I'm all set there.
04:00Okay.
04:06You talk with your hands a lot.
04:07I do.
04:08You're Latin?
04:08Are you married to a Latin lady?
04:10I am not.
04:12Do you like Bad Bony?
04:15Bad Bony?
04:16I have, I believe, I've heard the music before.
04:20O'Connell's not Latin?
04:22It is not.
04:22Oh, is that Irish?
04:23It is.
04:24And what percentage of Irish people are alcoholics?
04:26And then what percentage of those, like you, were able to also become NFL head coaches?
04:32I would not know how to answer that question.
04:34I think I'm just working off of my own personal experiences with my hands.
04:40You're like a Latin lady.
04:44I like my wife who is not Latin.
04:47I have a wonderful wife.
04:50Can you say this word for me?
04:52Bad Bony.
04:54I think it's just Bad Bunny, isn't it?
04:55Do you want to hear my impression of a stripper from Miami?
04:58Sure.
04:59Poppy, Bad Bony, Zell, Zell?
05:04I wouldn't know what to compare that to.
05:05Okay, that's fine.
05:06It's good though.
05:09This year, the Vikings are maybe breaking a historical precedent.
05:12Really?
05:13You guys are not playing on Thanksgiving or Christmas this year.
05:17Does that make you sad?
05:18I love playing on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
05:21I've got a chance to do both.
05:23Are games like that why you get into professional coaching in the first place?
05:27So you don't have to spend time with your family?
05:29No.
05:30You know what's funny?
05:30I knew you were going there as soon as you started asking that question.
05:34Lightning round.
05:35Yeah.
05:36No, the best thing is the Christmas Eve game.
05:40Because then you get to spend all of Christmas with your family.
05:43You have a big Latin family, a lot of dancing, a lot of Bad Bony.
05:47There we go.
05:48Probably a lot of fighting, but it's all love.
05:49It's all love.
05:50It's all love.
05:51It's all love.
