So it has it been two years, 65 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 3: it's been a couple Yeah. 66 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. 67 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 4: Is this the second Final four with Autumn or third? 68 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 4: I feel like it's the third. This will be the third, 69 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 4: maybe the first, the second where he's passed away, the 70 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 4: one before he just wasn't available. 71 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 2: That's true. That's a good point. Yeah, you're right, And. 72 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 4: That was when he couldn't come in studio in Minneapolis 73 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 4: leading up to the Final four. Yeah, but he joined 74 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 4: us at the Convention Center in twenty nineteen, did that's right? 75 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 4: Days later from when and we had like forty five 76 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 4: minutes with him thanks to Charlie Barker. 77 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 5: But yeah, and I let you down, and there was 78 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 5: out of my control, you know, I let coach wouldn't down, 79 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 5: and let my dad down. And now I've let Dan. 80 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 4: Burrow, No coach wouldn't mister Walton and you in that order. 81 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 4: I was hoping for a little bigger order. Well, that 82 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 4: was the same day we got John Thompson. Correct, it 83 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 4: may have been the same day. It was certainly the 84 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 4: same the same final four. 85 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 2: Well, it probably have all that Friday, It had to be. 86 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 2: You could have been, Yeah, it could have been. 87 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 3: I mean when you got Bill Walton and John Thompson 88 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 3: same day or within a two day period, that's hard. 89 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 2: It's hard to top that during Final four week. 90 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 4: Still the greatest line, one of my favorite top five 91 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 4: to ten lines of all time. When we first when 92 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 4: the first Final four twenty ten yes, and we had 93 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 4: John Thompson. I know where you're going because you say 94 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 4: this all the time. I guess all the time. I 95 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 4: don't want to keep you too long. And John Thompson's 96 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 4: the only one that's ever gone. You've already done that. 97 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 4: That's true, So good because you say that all the time, 98 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 4: all the time. I kept you too long. I don't 99 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 4: want to keep you too long. But just five or 100 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 4: seven more things. Let's give me like another twenty three minutes. 101 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 4: I don't want to keep you too long. You've already 102 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 4: done that. It's how you try to buy him off 103 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 4: for the longer. Was not here for it, but Thompson 104 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 4: was the one, but he stayed. He did stay. The 105 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 4: other great that was great too, the other great Thompson 106 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 4: line from his final appearance to twenty nineteen, and I 107 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 4: use this one all the time. He was bitter that 108 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 4: so many point guards just become coaches and not enough 109 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 4: post players. 110 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 2: I don't remember that. 111 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 4: And he said, everybody assumes, because the guards out there, 112 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 4: you know, holding up two fingers, that he's smart. He goes, 113 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 4: I played with a lot of dumb point guards. He 114 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 4: played with a lot of dumb guards. It's just a 115 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 4: brilliant way to put it. Yes, But anyway, the Bill 116 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 4: Walton Pablo Lopez connection is Lopez said it today. 117 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 2: I don't think he said John Wood and his dad. 118 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 4: And you, but he said, I already feel I'm letting 119 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 4: a lot of people down. I'm letting myself down, I'm 120 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 4: letting the Twins down, I'm letting my family down. 121 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 2: Well, what did Pablo Lopez do? Well? 122 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 4: Nothing on purpose, but he has a torn licker trying 123 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 4: to pitch. He tried to be the day one starter, 124 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 4: which is his role, which is what he loves to be. 125 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 4: But he will not be this year, at least we 126 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,679 Speaker 4: don't think so. He is going to get a second opinion, 127 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 4: But he has a significant tear in the UCL of 128 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 4: his right elbow, which likely means Tommy John his second 129 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 4: Tommy John's operation is in his future. Devastating news to 130 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 4: a team. You could, I mean you could do the 131 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 4: snark and say, well, what's at stake? But awfully good pitcher, 132 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 4: awfully productive guy. What are the few people I think 133 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 4: you felt like you. 134 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 3: Can count on right to offer something professional if on 135 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 3: the you know, slim chance you want to watch the 136 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 3: Twins or want to go to a Twins game, and 137 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 3: if you were I guess if you lived in the 138 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 3: fantasy world to think, well, you know, every year, weird 139 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 3: things happen, teams do stuff they're not supposed to do. Obviously, 140 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 3: a healthy Pablo Lopez was going to have to be 141 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 3: at the top of that list, because without him on 142 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 3: whatever depth you felt you had is indeed gone. 143 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 2: And as Lavo pointed out. 144 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 3: To us between four thirty and five, he may never 145 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 3: pitch for the Twins again. He may never pitch again, right, 146 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 3: but he most assuredly, I think there's a good reason 147 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 3: to think he might not end up pitching for this club. 148 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 3: So he misses how many games did he miss last year? 149 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 2: I have to look that up. He missed a bunch 150 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 2: last year, didn't he? Yes, I think I have it here. 151 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 3: So that's the disappointing part of No, you got a 152 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 3: pros pro And how little the last two years we 153 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 3: got out of him, even though when he was good 154 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 3: we got plenty out of it. Right, you mentioned celebrating 155 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 3: that first playoff victory, But that's the sad reality of 156 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 3: the situation that we were where indeed it. 157 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, in that year twenty twenty three, he was an 158 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 4: all Star was seventh and Cy Young Award voting. Remember 159 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 4: they signed him in the middle of that season two, 160 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 4: which because we got him in the Luisa Rise trade. 161 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 2: Those are the days. 162 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 4: And they signed him to a very reasonable, good extension 163 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 4: for every all sides. And yeah, he had three different 164 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 4: injury list stints a year ago. 165 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 3: I don't know how many games he actually pitched. Fourteen 166 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 3: man pitched in fourteen games last year. That's it started 167 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 3: fourteen of games. And that that's obviously not nearly enough. 168 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 3: After going the previous three seasons thirty two, thirty two, 169 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 3: right thirty two, he went to fourteen. The first of 170 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 3: those three was not with the Twins, So for the 171 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 3: Twins it was thirty two to thirty two or fourteen. 172 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: Damn. 173 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 4: After being traded from the Timberwolves and then traded from 174 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 4: the Bulls to the Hornets and then waived by the Hornets, 175 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 4: Mike Conley is officially back. The thirty eight year old 176 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 4: has appeared in over twelve hundred games and nineteen seasons 177 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 4: and he is back on a pro rated veteran's minimum. 178 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 4: Not only is he back with the Timberwolves, he will 179 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 4: be back on bumper to bumper at three o'clock on Thursday, 180 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 4: three o'clock Thursday o'clock nonfirmed, outstanding, confirmed. 181 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 2: Mike Conley three o'clock on Thursday. 182 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 3: Well I got more for you. Confirmed four to five 183 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 3: in studio on Thursday. Patrick Royci is going to stop by. 184 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 3: It's all coming together, caught up for the first time 185 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 3: in quite some time. We're suppos say I'm at the fair, 186 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 3: Remember I do? And then tragedy got I do? I 187 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 3: remember it well, by the way. One more note on Pablo, 188 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 3: I guess I didn't even didn't remember this. Fourteen games 189 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 3: started last year. Er at two point seventy four, five 190 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 3: and four. He's good, He's very good. He's good, and 191 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 3: he's a great dude. Wasn't a bad run. It wasn't 192 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 3: a bad run. So Conley is officially bad. I guess, 193 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 3: and I didn't know you could do this. Apparently. He's 194 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 3: also going to be designated as player coach in charge 195 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 3: of foul. 196 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 2: Moods for the Minnesota Twins. 197 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 3: That's his designation, so that even if he doesn't play 198 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 3: as many minutes as he did before, he'll have a 199 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 3: role that hopefully will be helpful to this team. Ran yeah, 200 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 3: and we'll get us out of these silly bad moods 201 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 3: that apparently were in because we have a very moody bunch. 202 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 4: It is funny that you say that because it always 203 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 4: offends me because of how revered Conley is in that 204 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 4: locker room. Right, everybody likes some ant has set of 205 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 4: a million times. They're trying to win a title for him. 206 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,839 Speaker 4: They feel bad when they lose for him. But then 207 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 4: I watch how they play and like Mike Conley's there, 208 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 4: Like I could never be in a bad mood if Mike. 209 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 4: If I was around Mike Conley all the time, i'd 210 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 4: look avery. Possibly, Yeah, I go. The guy's thirty eight 211 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 4: years old. He's given us everything he has, but nineteen 212 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 4: years he's played every role. Obviously he's not the player 213 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 4: that he once was. That happens, But how can I 214 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 4: look at this guy, Mike Conley and not have it tonight? 215 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 3: That's what's difficult for me. Here's you know, have you 216 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 3: ever thought of it this way? And of course the 217 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 3: stories are legendary, never received a technical foul, right, yes, 218 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 3: So if you're a if you're a ref, would you 219 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 3: say you know privately you would never admit this publicly 220 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 3: that my one remaining goal before I retire from NBA 221 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 3: Refdom is to force a technical foul out of Mike Conley, 222 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 3: to get him me, get him going some way that 223 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 3: leaves him with no choice but to finally melt down. 224 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 3: That'd be quite a feather in your cap, it would be. 225 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 3: But not to be the one guy guy who calls 226 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 3: a technical on Mike Connon. 227 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 4: But that also might, in a weird way, ruin your 228 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,319 Speaker 4: career because everyone's going to take Mike Conley's side. 229 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 2: Everybody likes. That's also true. 230 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 4: Say you have to accept it to tee up Conley, 231 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 4: that's what you want your legacy to be. 232 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 3: You'd have to accept it for sure. All right, let's 233 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 3: hit this traddle, all right, let's do it. Louis will 234 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 3: join at five point thirty two. Allright, we'll get to 235 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 3: some good texts that have come in, and who knows 236 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 3: what else they too. There's a lot of enmity out 237 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 3: there surrounding the Minnesota Twins. 238 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 2: I think that's fair to say. We can debate whether that's. 239 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 3: Helpful, too hateful, whatever the case may be, but there 240 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 3: aren't people out there saying, well, I don't root against 241 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 3: I don't root for a solid national player getting hurt. 242 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 3: What they're telling me is it's twins Carmel, that the 243 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 3: team itself deserves what it's getting in this case, even 244 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 3: if the individual does not deserve it. It's kind of a, 245 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 3: you know, an uncomfortable way to look at it, but 246 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 3: it does speak to what any of these pole ads. 247 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 2: Are dealing with here. 248 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 3: And again, you know, we've said this before that if 249 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 3: somebody else owned this team, it might not be any 250 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 3: different or any better. 251 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,079 Speaker 2: And it would that the new group would be would. 252 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 3: Be celebrated simply because they weren't named Poland. And that 253 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 3: doesn't necessarily mean they're going to be great, but that 254 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 3: would be the advantage that anybody would indeed have. I 255 00:12:54,040 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 3: just I just continue to be gobsmacked is not a 256 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 3: strong enough term. 257 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 2: You need a level up from gobsmack. 258 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 3: There's god, I need a level up from gobsmack to 259 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 3: explain how I feel about Tom poll Had bringing up 260 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 3: the Valdez you know wrinkle, like you know, I just 261 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 3: I just don't know how, because the assumption is he 262 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 3: does calculate some of this stuff out. 263 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 2: It doesn't just. 264 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 3: Come blurting out of his mouth. Maybe that's my mistake. 265 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 3: Maybe it does. He's viewed as this guy who's a 266 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 3: little bit you know, smarter about this stuff and a 267 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 3: little bit you know, more adult about it and all that. 268 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 3: And I'm going, how, there's not a chance in hell 269 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 3: that if you really thought about that, you'd think it 270 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 3: makes sense to whisper this out loud as if it's 271 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 3: some kind of feather in your cap or the Twins cap, 272 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:05,079 Speaker 3: that they identified a really good starting pitcher who was available, 273 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,199 Speaker 3: as if that meant well, give us points for that. 274 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 2: We recalled him, We were thinking about it. 275 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 4: We sent a couple of texts, and he even did 276 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 4: the quote, imagine, what's the what's the one thing that. 277 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 3: Would infuriate any of the remaining Twins fans? It's somebody 278 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 3: fantasizing over having And this, of course was back before 279 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 3: we knew about about Pablo A one two three starting 280 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 3: pitching punch likee like this. You go, yeah, of course, 281 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 3: but all you're doing is reminding people of how far 282 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 3: away the Twins are from. That is, nobody in their 283 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 3: right mind thinks that they made any kind of competitive 284 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 3: or reasonable offer. So you can call the agent, you 285 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 3: can call any agent. What what difference does it make? 286 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 2: It? It is literally not only in material. 287 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 3: It's irrelevant, it has no merit whatsoever, and all it 288 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 3: does do, you're better off. The reason you're better off 289 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 3: not bringing it up is all you're doing is reminding 290 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 3: people that well, they didn't get them. Correct, even if 291 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 3: you think you were close to getting him, all yours 292 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 3: not antilizing thing. He's not here, his uniform number is 293 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 3: not here. There's no commemorative print. And again, you know, 294 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 3: and I know they didn't finish. Second, if there is 295 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 3: such a thing as if it matters, I just. 296 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 2: And people keep. 297 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 3: Telling all this guy, huh, this guy's got a little sharper, 298 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 3: a little something more on the ball. 299 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 2: You know, he's he's talking to everybody. 300 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 3: He's he's in the clubhouse every day, he's in the 301 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 3: break room, he's he's chatting with the kitchen people. He's okay, 302 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 3: that's great. And then that that's never a bad thing. 303 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 3: I guess when you're trying to get acquainted the guy 304 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 3: or whatever. But whatever good you think you're doing, you've 305 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 3: literally destroyed it and nullified it by this silly little tease. 306 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 3: As if you think people are gonna go, whoa wow, 307 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 3: Tigers may. 308 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 2: Have gotten them bloody devots, but we were right in 309 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 2: this thing. 310 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 3: After we've just deducted in case, what is it between 311 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 3: the last two off season sixty five million bucks? 312 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 2: Yep, this is makeing a lot of sense to me. 313 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 2: That's just me. 314 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, No one can find a word beyond gobsmack, but 315 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 3: we'll keep looking for one. Has anyone verified that the twins, 316 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 3: if the twins actually even contacted the Valds camp. No, 317 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 3: I mean I haven't seen a jackal, a media jackal 318 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 3: who has yet to my knowledge. Maybe somebody has finally 319 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 3: done that. But I'll say again, you know, I mean 320 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 3: we all can contact whoever we want, make a phone 321 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 3: call to whatever entity we want to be connected with, right, 322 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 3: But that doesn't mean we're connected to that entity, right. 323 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 2: I mean, it's. 324 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 3: It's a distinction without a difference. And the fact that 325 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 3: he thought it was worth saying tells me he's not, 326 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 3: as you know, ready for this this role, as other 327 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 3: people have said that he indeed is so I I 328 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 3: the whole thing is very strange. 329 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think gobsmacks is like the best word I 330 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 4: mean I've got. Maybe I've overplayed it, that's the problem.

Yeah, 357 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,120 Speaker 4: he had to make sure his phone worked well enough 358 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 4: to send the picture to us, but not to use 359 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 4: apparently to join the show. 360 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 2: What did he have an explanation for that? He was 361 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 2: on vacation. 362 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I guess he has a right to that, 363 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 3: doesn't he sure to a certain extent. 364 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 2: We'll market don Yeah, russo maybe when he returns. 365 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 5: Yeah. 366 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 3: Here Jeffer Richfield jay Z may have might have ended 367 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 3: up with Beyonce, but I almost landed her. I sent 368 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 3: her an Instagram message once. 369 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 2: That's the same. That's it, it's the same thing. That's 370 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 2: a good. 371 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 3: Analogy, right there is this and like I said, Lavelle, 372 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 3: he shall we say, championed a similar cause with the 373 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 3: U darvish nonsense. Now, the you darbish thing might have 374 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 3: actually been an offer, at least, we could say. But 375 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 3: even then I just didn't. I just don't think it 376 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 3: meant anything. And the Twins clearly wanted to leak it 377 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 3: because they're looking for anything to make them right look 378 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 3: slightly better. I just think that was how many years ago, 379 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 3: and you Darvish a bunch long time ago, five to 380 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 3: ten years ago.

But now this many years later, and this 385 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 3: many iterations in Twins poll ad baseball later, no one's 386 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 3: gonna have even come close to championing that or getting 387 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 3: any kind of buzz out of it.

Yeah, the Tigers 438 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 3: may have gotten this big time free agent pitcher Franbervaldez. 439 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 2: But we were we were, you know, we. 440 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 3: Were interested and we that that does nothing for people. 441 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 2: I don't think. I mean, as you know, if. 442 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 3: You finish second, you might as well finish last when 443 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 3: it comes to acquiring a player. 444 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 7: Well, I understand to see some people want to show 445 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,719 Speaker 7: that they're in it. They're fighting for it, but I 446 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,439 Speaker 7: never wanted to do that, And the reason why I 447 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 7: didn't do it was because I don't want anybody to 448 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 7: think that they turned us down. You know, they went 449 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 7: somewhere else, makes sense. I don't think that looks very 450 00:23:58,720 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 7: good too. 451 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 5: Yeah right. 452 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 7: I didn't want anybody to know that I made an 453 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 7: offer the guy, but now I don't want you to 454 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:04,360 Speaker 7: going to take the other guy. 455 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. 456 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 7: I just had that kind of feeling. So, uh, we 457 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 7: had occasional where that happened, but uh, I never talked 458 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 7: about I never talked about not getting Adam Oates, who 459 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 7: became a Hall of Fame players, because you know, we 460 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 7: followed them. We were going to get him, and then 461 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 7: all of a sudden, detroyed up to offer two hundred 462 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 7: and fifty thousands sign and I went to Gordon that says, well, 463 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 7: it's going to cause us to fifty Oh no, that's 464 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 7: too much money. I like, this guy's pretty good. Now 465 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,679 Speaker 7: we're not doing it. So I didn't do it. All 466 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 7: my life I watched I gut played become Hall of 467 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 7: Feam players, and I could have had him because I 468 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 7: had I was in the driver's seat. I'd followed them 469 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 7: all year, but with the coach and got close to 470 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 7: the coach and and the agent, so I knew I 471 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 7: was getting them. But then they we didn't live up 472 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 7: to the price. Yeah, but we wouldn't pay it. 473 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well that's a good point. That's that's the issue. 474 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 3: Well, but that's a lot more specific, I think than 475 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 3: what we're hearing in this case too. 476 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 2: But as you. 477 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 3: Say, you don't want that out at the time, because 478 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 3: especially you don't even want it out after because as 479 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,679 Speaker 3: you say that, it's the indictment of well, we just 480 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 3: didn't pony up the money. 481 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,239 Speaker 7: Well, I'm going to tell you something, and now I 482 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 7: think i'm statue limitations is over. I'll probably tell you 483 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 7: what you know. Glenn, see it and I were really close, 484 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:31,719 Speaker 7: and we had two good teams at the time. You know, 485 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 7: Edmundon was just starting to become great and we were 486 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 7: very good at the time. And there were a couple 487 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 7: of free agents and I I'm not going to tell 488 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 7: you their names because if I ever get charged, but 489 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 7: I would call them and SI clean this. This was mine. 490 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 7: I went off from twenty five to sign, to play, 491 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 7: intend to sign, and you off from twenty and ten. 492 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 7: So I get that player. Next year, he got to 493 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 7: sell the guy I offered twenty off twenty five see 494 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 7: big this sign. So the guy I was cloes for 495 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 7: more money. So we worked out out a little wage. 496 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 7: That way we were able to keep our costages we 497 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:10,719 Speaker 7: wanted to do. 498 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, yeah, you probably I'm guessing the statue 499 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 3: of limitations run out. 500 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:16,919 Speaker 2: But that sounds like collusion, is what sounds. 501 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 7: But I didn't look at his collusion good business, good. 502 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 3: Business, Yeah, exactly it And it's so long ago. It's 503 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 3: another Yeah. I think I think you're gonna be fine 504 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 3: now and they're gonna have to worry about it. I 505 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 3: found the question. This came in actually Monday, Monday night 506 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 3: at eight forty last night. That's how this is how 507 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 3: much you're on his mind. And this program is when 508 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 3: you ask Luigi the following. It seems like all the 509 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 3: talk of the wild treating and goaltender for a center 510 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 3: involves Vaalstet and not Gustafson. Why fall Stet's four years 511 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 3: younger next year will make four million dollars less and 512 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 3: is arguably better. Send the gust bus out of town 513 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 3: and keep the wall the Great Wall of Saint Paul 514 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 3: that's from Pete, a wild fan living in Alabama. 515 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 2: What do you think? What do you have to say 516 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:07,120 Speaker 2: to Pete? 517 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 7: Well, the why is because Gus has done more. If 518 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 7: you've got a longer track record, the one thing you 519 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 7: have to guard against will be getting a guy with 520 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 7: a one year wonder. And so if Walst had had 521 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,679 Speaker 7: three years and because had four, then you could understand it. 522 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 7: But when you have one to four or one to five, 523 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 7: then then you're always a little skeptical till you have 524 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 7: a little more record to give me some judgment on it. 525 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 7: And I think that's the only reason why. And you 526 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 7: can't wait for the record to get closer, because by 527 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 7: then that time has passed to get the Blair. But 528 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 7: I'd have to say, you know, they it all depends 529 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 7: what they truly feel. They don't tell you what they 530 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 7: feel about Walstead right now. They they say they're happy, 531 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 7: and they should be happy, and he's proven to be 532 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 7: pretty all at goaltender all the way through. But do 533 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 7: they think there's any you know, parts of his game 534 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 7: that bothers them that they're not playing him? If you 535 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 7: take a look that when they when they're going through 536 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 7: the streak here at the at the end, just before 537 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 7: the the break, guests was playing like two to three 538 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:26,159 Speaker 7: two of everything. And and why is that If you 539 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 7: feel it's comfortable with the other guy, you want them 540 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,919 Speaker 7: both rested, You want to you would want to keep 541 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 7: the same rhythm. But it seems to me, I'm not 542 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 7: certain that that's the truth, but it seems to me 543 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 7: they have more confidence with Guts right now, and and 544 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,719 Speaker 7: that goes to with the staff and especially goltending coach things. 545 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 7: And so maybe that's that's what they're basing this stuff on. 546 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 7: Whether they'd want to get rid of Guts already if 547 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 7: they're sure enough about Wall said where they'd make that move. 548 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 3: Speaking of goaltending, this from Rob out of Bloomington. We 549 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 3: asked Louis if the Wild fans should be concerned about 550 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 3: Gus not playing well and getting bench for the Swedish 551 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 3: team and Wally not even playing well. 552 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 7: He can't, he's not even playing. They played four games, 553 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 7: he played two. He played the first two and there 554 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 7: were an occasion or two where maybe they weren't happy 555 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 7: with the goal. So marks from goes in the next 556 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 7: two and today he didn't have to be great, but 557 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 7: he had to be good enough. And Swede won five 558 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 7: to one, and so I think Mark's from definitely will 559 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 7: play against the US tomorrow and that game, by the way, 560 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 7: really he really concerns me. Even though they're missing Brodine. 561 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 7: You know, they got a couple of players weren't able 562 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 7: to come and play. Sweets are always tough in international competition, 563 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 7: and he gets tougher as it goes longer. And essentially 564 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 7: the US got a bad break that Sweed was so 565 00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 7: much off their game early where they ended up in 566 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 7: that bracket where they were seated so low, because they're 567 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 7: better than some of the teams that are seated higher. 568 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 7: If the US wins tomorrow, which they should be favored 569 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 7: to win, but it's going to be a tough game. 570 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 7: Their next game I think will be easier than this game, 571 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 7: and because basically the two easier lower seeds in my mind, 572 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 7: are going to be playing and they'd have an easier 573 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 7: game getting to the gold medal if they are able 574 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 7: to win tomorrow. 575 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you a little bit. It has a 576 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 3: feeling of nervousness to it, does it not? 577 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 7: Yeah, it does. And they look good today. They played 578 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 7: good the pretty well, skating well and it was good 579 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 7: they were, They were solid all the way through. And 580 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 7: the suit just have a history of being tough in 581 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 7: World Championship hockey. It's the Olympics and the World and 582 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 7: as do the Fins. Those are two teams that are 583 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 7: so accustomed to playing in that atmosphere and seemed to 584 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 7: bring their best game when they when they needed the 585 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 7: most and in that tournament. And I'm telling you they 586 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 7: are They're good, just like the World Juniors this year, 587 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 7: you know, yeah, gets right down to it, then those 588 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 7: are the two teams. They just seem to find a 589 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 7: way to get the best of other players where it 590 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 7: really counts. 591 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 3: Canada has certainly looked apart so far, has it not? 592 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 7: Oh my god, they look so powerful, so powerful, and 593 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 7: I think it's essentially masking what their weakness could be 594 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 7: because you don't get you don't get to the goaltending 595 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 7: and keeping the puckt in the their defensive so much 596 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 7: because these guys, the forwards are so explosive, so fast, 597 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 7: and they moved the puck so well that they just 598 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 7: put pressure in you all the way through. And like 599 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 7: David's playing like the caged animals. You know, he always 600 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 7: wanted wanted to play. I remember and this goes back 601 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 7: years well, I want to say about six years ago, 602 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 7: five six years ago, when I was still sitting on 603 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 7: the USA Board International Hockey and we were making decisions, well, 604 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 7: you know, the pro is going to play or not play, 605 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 7: and there was you know, you know, there was a 606 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,239 Speaker 7: time that pros weren't able to play there. And I 607 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 7: remember the Players Association executive director says, well, McDavid wants 608 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 7: to play in the Olympics. You know, he's never played 609 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 7: in the Olympics. And I said, well, that was because 610 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 7: his choice. He chose to go right at eighteen years old, 611 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 7: right to the NHL is going to set out that 612 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 7: year and played in the Olympics. It was either that 613 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 7: year next year. So I said, we're going to change 614 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 7: all the roofs because the Olympics, because McDavid wants to play. 615 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 7: Because I said, you know a lot of people, including myself, 616 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 7: stayed out when we're going to turn pro at that 617 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 7: time to play in the Olympics as amateurs because pros 618 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 7: couldn't play at that thing. So this guy's been driven 619 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 7: to play in the Olympics. That's what he's always wanted 620 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 7: to do. And so he is playing and he's the 621 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 7: best player in the world and he's playing like it. 622 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 7: He's he's going to be so tough. 623 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:16,479 Speaker 3: To stop Adam and White bear Lake writes, Dan Luigi 624 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 3: was right, someone's going to get hurt in the Olympics. 625 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 3: Fiala is done for the season now. And I didn't 626 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 3: see the play, but was it a questionable hit? He adds, 627 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 3: I hope wild players come out of these Olympics on scale. 628 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 3: We did talk about this before it began, right that 629 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 3: was yours. 630 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 7: Somebody's going to get hurt. I just hope that it's over, 631 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 7: although I don't think it is, because now you're now 632 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 7: you're getting It gets interesting closer to the metal rocks, 633 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 7: just because if it's possible to ramp up, it's going up. 634 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 7: And the reason why it gets even more is because 635 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 7: these games are more competitive now as you're closer to 636 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 7: the end. In the earlier ones where you had some 637 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,719 Speaker 7: teams that weren't as good and you didn't you know 638 00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 7: you're dominating the games. You were in that position. But 639 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 7: and it wasn't a bad hit. It was Wilson was coming. 640 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,360 Speaker 7: We wasn't coming hard. It looked like Fiella went to 641 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 7: reverse check him check him where he was unsuspecting what 642 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 7: he did, and it looked like Wilson's loss of balance 643 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,319 Speaker 7: and fell on him. And it wasn't a you know, 644 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 7: it was by no means something intentional. 645 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,839 Speaker 3: For whatever it's worth, Lawyer Tom was listening and he 646 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,839 Speaker 3: heard your confession earlier, and here's what he writes, uh 647 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:35,799 Speaker 3: Luigi admitting violating the Sherman Act anti trust law. And yes, 648 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 3: statuelentations is five years from the last wrongful act, so 649 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 3: he should be. 650 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:43,839 Speaker 7: Okay, Yeah, wasn't that some guy Sherman and the war 651 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 7: Sherman tanks or something. 652 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 3: I'm yeah, I had no idea about these these what's 653 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 3: anti trust? 654 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 2: Why? 655 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 6: What are we? 656 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 3: What are we talking about here? We absolutely no working idea. 657 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,480 Speaker 3: All right, the collision course seems on the women's side. 658 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 3: What have you seen anything, I mean that has surprised 659 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 3: you to this point? Or are we Is it going 660 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 3: to be inevitable obviously us in Canada, Oh. 661 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 7: It's inevitable. It's going to be those two. But nothing 662 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 7: surprises me. But I'm I'm so impressed by how cohesive 663 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:26,799 Speaker 7: this team, this American team isn't, and how they're so 664 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 7: focused on what they're trying to accomplish and the only 665 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:35,760 Speaker 7: thing and that's just a skeptical part of me. Whenever 666 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 7: you get to a big game like this, the only 667 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,880 Speaker 7: thing I worry about is being overconfidence because they've just 668 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 7: you know, they've just had a record that's only matched 669 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 7: by Canadians did the same thing I went, where they 670 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 7: went right through with one goal against. But that this 671 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,799 Speaker 7: team is so well balanced and they is so intense 672 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,919 Speaker 7: and they are so talented that they really should win. 673 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,359 Speaker 7: They are the best team, whether they win or not 674 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 7: against Canada, they are the best team. And it's you know, 675 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 7: in one game. Series always scares me because of what 676 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:15,000 Speaker 7: goldtending could do or fluky gold or something. But if 677 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,879 Speaker 7: they both play the way they can play, and they 678 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,800 Speaker 7: both get equal breaks and equal goaltending, USO win and 679 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,399 Speaker 7: they deserve to win. They've dominated the Canadians all year long. 680 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 7: In the other kind of series that they had, they 681 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,800 Speaker 7: Ravale series that they played, and they had four games 682 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 7: in that and the opening game, even though the Canadian 683 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 7: team got their captain back pull In, who's an excellent player, 684 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 7: one player does make the difference in the talent difference 685 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 7: in those two teams. Right now, because the US is 686 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:53,880 Speaker 7: clearly more talented, and they're they're joy to watch. I 687 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,399 Speaker 7: mean they are. They are hungry, and I think that 688 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 7: I think that you know, they know what their mission 689 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 7: is and it's going to be tough. 690 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,640 Speaker 3: To the term well, as you say, what makes it 691 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 3: so nerve wracking for someone you know, like if you're 692 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 3: running it like you would be or Billy Garren is 693 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,919 Speaker 3: now is also what makes it so damned appealing. Best 694 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 3: of one, it's not the best of seven when we 695 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,880 Speaker 3: know we get more of the real best team. But 696 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 3: that's the beauty of the Olympics, right, That's that's what 697 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 3: stands out about it. It is this is you only 698 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 3: have to you don't have to beat them four times. 699 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:28,919 Speaker 3: You don't have to beat him once. 700 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 7: That's it. You only have to beat him once. And 701 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,800 Speaker 7: that's the keeping. I mean, you just look, I watched 702 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 7: this the high flyers say whatever they call those air skiers, 703 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:43,320 Speaker 7: you know, and and and and all of a sudden, 704 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,440 Speaker 7: he's the American kid came out and he and he 705 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,759 Speaker 7: he performed something he's never been done before and and 706 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,399 Speaker 7: it was just out of this world. And he shoot 707 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 7: him right in the first place, and then he's in 708 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,759 Speaker 7: first place for two minutes, there is one guy left 709 00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,799 Speaker 7: in Norwegian who was the second place, and he comes 710 00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 7: up with something that he always done and he beats 711 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 7: the American for the gold. I mean the Olympics. I 712 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,919 Speaker 7: guess you'd have to say the best thing about it 713 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:16,200 Speaker 7: is everything isn't inevitable. You have all these surprises when 714 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:21,279 Speaker 7: you ever expect to have because the pressure on these 715 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 7: athletes and the willingness to try things and do things 716 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 7: to win, it just has no bounds. And so you 717 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:35,000 Speaker 7: see you watch that Italians here that if she won 718 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,360 Speaker 7: both gold medals, I mean a year ago, she couldn't 719 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 7: walk and she's still hurting, and in fact, she said 720 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,520 Speaker 7: she'd rather not have had the accident than have these 721 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 7: two gold medals because her legs effected for life, and 722 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,279 Speaker 7: you know she's not going to be able to do 723 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,719 Speaker 7: things she wants to do. But to come up with 724 00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,839 Speaker 7: those kind of runs that makes this so phenomenal. I mean, 725 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:03,000 Speaker 7: the Olympics are are just it's such an experience to 726 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:08,680 Speaker 7: play in it, and you really can't tell people what 727 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:12,360 Speaker 7: it feels like because it's such a unique experience to 728 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,920 Speaker 7: compete in the Olympics. To sit there and be ready 729 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,240 Speaker 7: to go out for your event or your game, whatever 730 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,120 Speaker 7: it is, to be sitting in that locker room or 731 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,880 Speaker 7: that dress room and what goes through your head and 732 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,400 Speaker 7: how you feel, because you never feel like it's just 733 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:31,359 Speaker 7: about you. Then you don't even think it's about I 734 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 7: want to win. It's because we're going to win. The 735 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 7: people who want us to win, everybody wants us to win. 736 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 7: You're not even thinking about yourself. You're just thinking about 737 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,440 Speaker 7: the people, the fans of the country. It's so different 738 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,840 Speaker 7: than playing I sat in that locker room. You know, 739 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:50,279 Speaker 7: I'm played in Seneca playoffs and played huge games, and 740 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,160 Speaker 7: to sit in the locker room playing a living game 741 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 7: was so completely different. The feeling, the way you get ready, 742 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:01,720 Speaker 7: what you think about. It's such a phenomen experience that 743 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,920 Speaker 7: that's why it takes about four years to have these 744 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,279 Speaker 7: kind of games, because it takes that kind of adrenaline 745 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,800 Speaker 7: impressure to go through to get to that level. 746 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,320 Speaker 3: Well to your point, we were talking about this earlier 747 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,840 Speaker 3: to actually yesterday, following up on the story about the 748 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,760 Speaker 3: quad god Eliah Malanin, who ends up finishing eighth after 749 00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:23,479 Speaker 3: a disastrous long form program in the free skate after 750 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 3: winning his last fourteen events in a row, and Guardie 751 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 3: was mentioning that a couple of the analysts are saying, 752 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 3: you know what can happen is you can make the 753 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,880 Speaker 3: mistake of thinking about all those things you just mentioned 754 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 3: right before. In this case you go out on the 755 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,200 Speaker 3: ice and that that's the worst thing you can do, 756 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:47,439 Speaker 3: because then nothing is natural about what you do if 757 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,919 Speaker 3: you get too caught up in Oh my god, look 758 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 3: at everything that is that is at stake here. And 759 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,680 Speaker 3: we'll never know what contributed to what happened to the 760 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,840 Speaker 3: quad God, whether that had anything to do with it 761 00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:58,200 Speaker 3: or not. 762 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,359 Speaker 7: But well, I don't know if you heard him when 763 00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 7: he when he fell, when he first came to the 764 00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:08,120 Speaker 7: where they sit waiting to the score, and he said 765 00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:13,800 Speaker 7: to his father, see, they should have taken me to Beijing. 766 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 7: I didn't know anything about that. I was just listening, 767 00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,080 Speaker 7: and I'm thinking that, you know, he should have made 768 00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,080 Speaker 7: the Beijing team. He didn't, and he would he was 769 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,160 Speaker 7: saying to him, if I'd had that experience to get 770 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 7: me ready, I wouldn't had this problem. And that's exactly 771 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,319 Speaker 7: what you're saying. And I and when he felt like that, 772 00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,400 Speaker 7: I said to my wife, that kid is going to 773 00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,959 Speaker 7: have the longest four years of his life. After all 774 00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,239 Speaker 7: he's accomplished and going there. You don't wake up in 775 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:43,759 Speaker 7: the morning and say, okay, let's go and do it. 776 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,680 Speaker 7: I'm gonna win it today. It's like when we when 777 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 7: we lost in the Standy Cup finals and everybody's Thingking 778 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,759 Speaker 7: it was great to get in the Standy Cup finals. 779 00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,920 Speaker 7: Mayor called me next morning, Louis, were gonna have a prayed. 780 00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,479 Speaker 7: We want you guys for a prayer. We're not having 781 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:03,239 Speaker 7: a prayer. Lost, will praisingly lose. And all I could 782 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 7: think of was we'll ever get back here? Yes, that's it, 783 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,919 Speaker 7: and and and and how hard it was to get there, 784 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,040 Speaker 7: And that's what has to go be going through his 785 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,719 Speaker 7: vine and to suffer for four years to get that opportunity. 786 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,320 Speaker 7: And I just feel so bad for these people that 787 00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:24,080 Speaker 7: never reach the level they should reach. Because it was five. 788 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:28,360 Speaker 7: Do you realize the sixth guy one that that figure, 789 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 7: that figure skating all five before they all lost. I 790 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:33,960 Speaker 7: think all five fell too. 791 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,400 Speaker 2: Yep, it's so true. 792 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,600 Speaker 3: And but also what you're describing, as much as I 793 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 3: wouldn't want to wish it on my worst enemy, is 794 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:48,439 Speaker 3: again the drama of the competition. It's what the old 795 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,359 Speaker 3: wide world of sports opened that you I'm sure remember well. 796 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,879 Speaker 3: The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, all 797 00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,920 Speaker 3: of it is what drives it to a place like 798 00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:58,680 Speaker 3: no other event. 799 00:42:58,960 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 2: You know that. 800 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:03,080 Speaker 3: That again, it's it's tough to see somebody crash and 801 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,440 Speaker 3: burn the way he did, but that's part of the story. 802 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:10,880 Speaker 3: And who who wins instead and the drama associated with 803 00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:13,640 Speaker 3: it's what you said. You can say, here's who's supposed 804 00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:15,759 Speaker 3: to win, and here's how it's supposed to go. But 805 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 3: none of that necessarily matters at the often at the Olympics, 806 00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,000 Speaker 3: and that's what I think draws a lot of people 807 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:21,319 Speaker 3: to it. 808 00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:26,399 Speaker 7: That's exactly right. Look at the story. Yes, they could 809 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,160 Speaker 7: be playing her and I need you know, the people 810 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,719 Speaker 7: like the seven ABC all she went through and all 811 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:37,200 Speaker 7: the preparation and five inches she had said, Yeah, oh 812 00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:41,040 Speaker 7: my god. It's unfortunately, but that's what makes sports great 813 00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 7: on top of it, but that's why the interest is there, 814 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,000 Speaker 7: for no question, for sports, that's why people watch. That's 815 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 7: why people want to be there. You don't know the ending. 816 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:52,440 Speaker 2: As you've nailed it. That's it. 817 00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:58,560 Speaker 3: And by the way, having esthetically gorgeous backdrops like in Italy. 818 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:00,919 Speaker 3: That doesn't that doesn't hurt either. 819 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,280 Speaker 7: You know, I've had the good fortune of being a 820 00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:09,120 Speaker 7: seven or so Olympics. I still and I didn't go 821 00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:12,319 Speaker 7: to the Cortina, but I was in Torono and I 822 00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:16,200 Speaker 7: was and I played in Grenoble, and those European backgrounds, 823 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:21,839 Speaker 7: with the atmosphere, the different top lifestyle and that it's 824 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:26,279 Speaker 7: so enchanting. It's so different.

She goes back home to Texas 890 00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:35,720 Speaker 3: each time saying I'm not gonna give up. And last 891 00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:43,240 Speaker 3: night she finally got there. A forty one year old 892 00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:48,160 Speaker 3: mother of two young children set a record as the 893 00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:53,040 Speaker 3: oldest Winter Olympic champion in an individual event ever. 894 00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:58,919 Speaker 2: Her quote, I thought it was impossible. 895 00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:05,280 Speaker 3: The highlight the video of her reaction talk about thriller victory. 896 00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:07,239 Speaker 2: It's worth taking a look if you find it. 897 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:13,040 Speaker 3: I saw it some last night, and the kicker is 898 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:17,640 Speaker 3: According to this Wall Street Journal story, once upon a time, 899 00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:24,080 Speaker 3: she wanted to represent the US in softball. That was 900 00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:31,040 Speaker 3: the game she played on scholarship at George Washington University. 901 00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:37,239 Speaker 3: She has a bad tryout fails to make the team. 902 00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:40,920 Speaker 3: As the story that she tells is, my parents saw 903 00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:42,520 Speaker 3: Bob Slet on TV and said, Hey, I want to 904 00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:45,160 Speaker 3: try this sport and she said, Hey, I want to 905 00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:50,600 Speaker 3: be a BOPS letter, and the rest is history. Her 906 00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:54,680 Speaker 3: In the twenty eighteen Games in Do You Have It, 907 00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:59,840 Speaker 3: yeong Chang, Sorry, Geong Chang, her two woman team finished 908 00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:06,280 Speaker 3: point zero seven seconds behind the winning tandem. 909 00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:07,920 Speaker 2: Beijing. 910 00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:13,880 Speaker 3: She fought concussions and COVID that spoiled another dream. She 911 00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:19,359 Speaker 3: was supposed to be sorry, repeat that, pyeung Chung, Cheong Chung. 912 00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:24,000 Speaker 3: She was supposed to be Team USA's flag bearer. You 913 00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:26,759 Speaker 3: get a lot of people that like to write you off. 914 00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:29,080 Speaker 3: As soon as you reach forty. It's all downhill from there. 915 00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:33,440 Speaker 3: Each her forty year old US teammate Kelli or Kaylee 916 00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:37,080 Speaker 3: Humphries ambuster, who took bronze. I think Ilana and I 917 00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:41,320 Speaker 3: are both proof that that's not true. So she figured 918 00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:44,480 Speaker 3: this is probably going to be her last shot. She 919 00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:46,160 Speaker 3: entered the fourth and final heat of the monobob, in 920 00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:47,920 Speaker 3: which the winners are turned by the cumulatve total of 921 00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,799 Speaker 3: all four times. She trailed the leader by point one 922 00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:55,239 Speaker 3: five seconds, then went hurtling down the track for the 923 00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:59,080 Speaker 3: run that would change everything. She wins gold by point 924 00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:02,720 Speaker 3: oh no for seconds. 925 00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:02,919 Speaker 6: Now. 926 00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:06,560 Speaker 3: I'd never heard of her before the Olympics. I doubt 927 00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,560 Speaker 3: that you had either. Nope, but these are the great stories. 928 00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:11,480 Speaker 3: You don't have to have heard of her, but you 929 00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,600 Speaker 3: can relate to the human drama of it and the 930 00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:20,840 Speaker 3: thrill of victory, in this case, trying, trying again, trying again, 931 00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:22,399 Speaker 3: and trying a. 932 00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,839 Speaker 2: Fourth time, finding in a different sport. 933 00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:29,000 Speaker 3: Finally getting there at the age of forty What did 934 00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:31,480 Speaker 3: I say, forty one years old? Forty one year old, 935 00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:34,880 Speaker 3: mother of two young children. She now is the oldest 936 00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:40,920 Speaker 3: Winter Olympic champion in an individual event. I thought I 937 00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:46,200 Speaker 3: saw one of those opportunities where a local station guy 938 00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:50,920 Speaker 3: was given a chance to get out of Bob's sled. 939 00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:56,080 Speaker 2: And didn't go well. 940 00:51:56,200 --> 00:52:00,680 Speaker 3: Well, not surprisingly, he just said, this is insane. I 941 00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:02,920 Speaker 3: think the quote was I thought my body was going 942 00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:06,120 Speaker 3: to break into pieces, like three or four or five times, 943 00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:09,320 Speaker 3: because again, I don't think you can you can appreciate 944 00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:12,440 Speaker 3: the speed and even the torque that's involved in all 945 00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:16,640 Speaker 3: of Yeah, you're just kind of going slaty closed track 946 00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:18,040 Speaker 3: where there's. 947 00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:20,520 Speaker 2: No stopping and you're just gone. 948 00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:22,520 Speaker 3: Like you're shot out of a cannon, for God's sake, 949 00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:26,719 Speaker 3: And that's that. That sounds about right to me when 950 00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:28,640 Speaker 3: I uh when I look at it, so congratulations. 951 00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:30,879 Speaker 4: Can't you do some type of simulation? Have you ever 952 00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:33,040 Speaker 4: been to the Colorado Springs Olympic Training Center? 953 00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:36,439 Speaker 3: I why, yeah, I have, actually years and years ago, 954 00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:38,640 Speaker 3: I swear, and I don't think I've ever been. 955 00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:40,240 Speaker 2: I never have. I never got on anything. 956 00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,280 Speaker 4: I think you can visit though, as just like a rube, 957 00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:47,080 Speaker 4: and I'm pretty sure you can take like a test run. 958 00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:48,640 Speaker 4: I don't think they put you in like a real 959 00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:52,399 Speaker 4: bob sled, but it's one that kind of gives you 960 00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:56,719 Speaker 4: some type of thrill like that, because that would be fun, 961 00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:59,440 Speaker 4: makes sense, it'd be fun to try. That definitely makes 962 00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:03,360 Speaker 4: right know it was somewhat safe and they were watching you. 963 00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:11,799 Speaker 4: What is among the Scandinavian countries? What where does Norwegian 964 00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:14,200 Speaker 4: in the Twin Cities rank? 965 00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:15,960 Speaker 2: Is it one? Is it two? Is it three? 966 00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:19,840 Speaker 3: I mean I think of obviously Norway, yeah, and Sweden 967 00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:22,640 Speaker 3: of those two, and I guess you got to put 968 00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:25,480 Speaker 3: Finland in the mix somewhere. But what do we how 969 00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:28,080 Speaker 3: many Norwegians do we have? Do we have more Swedes 970 00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:30,640 Speaker 3: than we do Norwegians or those who came from the 971 00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,360 Speaker 3: Old country or had parents or grandparents. Do we know 972 00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,000 Speaker 3: which is dominant here? 973 00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:41,040 Speaker 4: I bring it up Norway and Sweden, America, but also 974 00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:43,719 Speaker 4: significant contributions from Finland and Denmark. 975 00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:45,560 Speaker 2: Oh, Denmark, Yeah, that's true, they're in there too. 976 00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:49,280 Speaker 4: Norwegians, according to AI, which has never been wrong, constitute 977 00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:52,600 Speaker 4: a major portion of the population. For the record, we're 978 00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:55,720 Speaker 4: not the guards are Norwegian. You are Norwegian well through Monday, 979 00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:57,320 Speaker 4: so through yesterday. 980 00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:59,399 Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't have the updated count. 981 00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:04,239 Speaker 3: Norway is number one in the Milano Cortina Games with 982 00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:10,200 Speaker 3: twelve gold medals. And you know, the questions always asked, 983 00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:17,160 Speaker 3: a country with the population of Minnesota, a country with 984 00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:20,400 Speaker 3: the population of Minnesota, how does it continue to be 985 00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,920 Speaker 3: as dominant as it is? Is it history, is it tradition, 986 00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:30,480 Speaker 3: whatever the case may be. But they're on top of 987 00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:34,320 Speaker 3: the world again, in a dominant place. And I'm reminded 988 00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:36,759 Speaker 3: in this story that nineteen eighty four Olympics, the one 989 00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:40,000 Speaker 3: I the first one I covered, which was Sarajevo Winter Olympics, 990 00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:44,319 Speaker 3: they had only three gold medals, which was about their 991 00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:48,600 Speaker 3: most paltry performance ever, and the country was so devastated 992 00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:54,160 Speaker 3: and alarmed by it they started something called Project eighty 993 00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:57,080 Speaker 3: eight to say we got to get back on the map. 994 00:54:57,560 --> 00:54:59,640 Speaker 3: And by the way, for the record eighty eight they 995 00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:03,720 Speaker 3: were even did not go well at all. But since 996 00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:08,920 Speaker 3: then maybe maybe Lillehammer being the key breakthrough. 997 00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:09,880 Speaker 2: Since then. 998 00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:14,799 Speaker 3: They're on a very natural high. They are dominant in 999 00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:16,080 Speaker 3: the Winter Olympics once again. 1000 00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:17,040 Speaker 2: It does. 1001 00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:20,160 Speaker 4: I would like to know a little bit more about that, 1002 00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:23,040 Speaker 4: because something that has been circulating on social media the 1003 00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:26,920 Speaker 4: last few weeks, and I think it happens every Winter Olympics, 1004 00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:31,239 Speaker 4: is people write like think pieces about their youth development 1005 00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:35,680 Speaker 4: and how they deal with sports compared to how we 1006 00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:37,920 Speaker 4: do it, how America does it, which is literally the 1007 00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:42,279 Speaker 4: exact opposite, and basically all of this that are in 1008 00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:46,120 Speaker 4: and you're in it too, the youth sports meat grinder. 1009 00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:48,480 Speaker 4: You all look at this as like a beacon of 1010 00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:52,000 Speaker 4: normalcy of like how they you know, it's about participation 1011 00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:56,160 Speaker 4: and fun and there's not specialization and not everything's capitalistic 1012 00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:58,760 Speaker 4: in this whole deal, which is essentially the exact opposite 1013 00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:00,840 Speaker 4: of what we've got going on right now. Well, and 1014 00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:02,319 Speaker 4: I want to know if that's actually true or not, 1015 00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:04,160 Speaker 4: or if it just sounds good on Twitter threads. 1016 00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:04,840 Speaker 2: That's a great. 1017 00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:08,320 Speaker 3: Question, and in this story they go with that same narrative, 1018 00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:10,239 Speaker 3: and I guess the question is always is it. Are 1019 00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:11,799 Speaker 3: they going with it because it's true, or are they 1020 00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:15,440 Speaker 3: going with it because that's what people keep saying. The 1021 00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:21,520 Speaker 3: philosophy of humanistic development and joy for all raising happy children, 1022 00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:25,319 Speaker 3: focused athletes, and healthy citizens. They talk about we think 1023 00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:28,400 Speaker 3: it's an advantage for us. That it's very difficult to 1024 00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:33,040 Speaker 3: understand why it's working. They prioritize having fun over winning. 1025 00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:35,920 Speaker 3: They make sure costs are low and participation is high. 1026 00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:38,799 Speaker 3: They encourage kids to sample as wait for it, as 1027 00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:42,200 Speaker 3: many sports as possible, and don't force youth athletes to 1028 00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:44,680 Speaker 3: specialize too early. It sounds too good to be true, 1029 00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:46,759 Speaker 3: and maybe it's more complicated than this, but all those 1030 00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:50,880 Speaker 3: if that's part of the recipe, is obviously very very appealing. 1031 00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:52,680 Speaker 3: And by the way, I guess you could say the 1032 00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:56,000 Speaker 3: poster boy, who I think we've talked about before, is 1033 00:56:56,000 --> 00:57:02,600 Speaker 3: this Johannes Klabo the ski sprinting advertisement. He's described here 1034 00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:06,680 Speaker 3: for the Norway model and he's the guy who can win. 1035 00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:09,160 Speaker 3: I don't know how many medals he's goals he's won yet, 1036 00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:11,920 Speaker 3: but he is projected to have a chance to win 1037 00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:15,960 Speaker 3: as many as six gold medals as well. I don't 1038 00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:17,680 Speaker 3: know what is and I think he's on his way 1039 00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:21,840 Speaker 3: to doing exactly that. 1040 00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:22,400 Speaker 2: I would say. 1041 00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:25,440 Speaker 4: The counter argument to that would be, well, there we 1042 00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:28,480 Speaker 4: hear about him in the Winter Olympics and in nothing else, right, Yeah, 1043 00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:30,160 Speaker 4: that's true. We don't hear about him in you know, 1044 00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:34,880 Speaker 4: basketball obviously, hockey it's different, or other sports worldwide. You know, 1045 00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,000 Speaker 4: I don't think Norway's you know, locked in on the 1046 00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:39,000 Speaker 4: World Cup that's coming here in a couple of years. 1047 00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:40,880 Speaker 2: Like so, I don't know he's already. 1048 00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:42,960 Speaker 3: We talked about him when he beat the shattered the 1049 00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:47,440 Speaker 3: record for career Winter Olympic goals held by three other athletes, who, 1050 00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:48,360 Speaker 3: by the way, are also a. 1051 00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:50,600 Speaker 2: Norwegian. 1052 00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:56,400 Speaker 3: So but coming to Italy there were no guarantees of 1053 00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:58,720 Speaker 3: another glorious winner. The country was reeling from the national 1054 00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:03,720 Speaker 3: shame forgot about this? How could I national's shame of 1055 00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:07,440 Speaker 3: being caught illegally modifying the crotches of ski jumping suits 1056 00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:11,440 Speaker 3: that those were that was the Norwegians. Only once the 1057 00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:14,880 Speaker 3: games began they were remitted again by another kind of 1058 00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:18,520 Speaker 3: cheating scandal. They've had several of their own, but they've 1059 00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:24,000 Speaker 3: overall still performed extremely very well. It's it's fair to say, 1060 00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:26,480 Speaker 3: and we're it's practically one, they're practically one of us. 1061 00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:28,320 Speaker 2: Right, you're in Norwegian. 1062 00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:32,040 Speaker 4: I am absolutely Rasmus guard he started it all. Maybe 1063 00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:33,680 Speaker 4: you should maybe that's instead of tennis. 1064 00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:36,120 Speaker 3: Maybe you should have been a winter We should have 1065 00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:42,560 Speaker 3: pursued the dream of winter Olympic domination culminating could you 1066 00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:44,160 Speaker 3: how old are you'd have been in Lillehammer? 1067 00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:46,440 Speaker 2: Lillah Hammer's ninety four? How old are you that? I 1068 00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:48,960 Speaker 2: would have been twelve? I would need later. 1069 00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:53,840 Speaker 4: A great story all Story would have interviewed me and 1070 00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:57,520 Speaker 4: we probably would have had ya.

And he was urged by several people, and 1104 01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:45,000 Speaker 3: Andrew Young as well, so that was kind of an 1105 01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:47,040 Speaker 3: interesting nugget from him. 1106 01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:49,440 Speaker 2: That was much earlier in the program. 1107 01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:52,240 Speaker 3: He joined about three fifteen or so to about three 1108 01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:53,240 Speaker 3: thirty five. 1109 01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:57,200 Speaker 2: Doctor Phil reminds us let's remember. 1110 01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:04,800 Speaker 3: That the best sport, the best athletes in Minnesota tend 1111 01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:09,480 Speaker 3: to play football, basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer. Norway can clearly 1112 01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:14,400 Speaker 3: focus on more easily, uh some of those than our country. 1113 01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:18,080 Speaker 3: And it's true Norway tends to dominate individual sports. They 1114 01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:21,560 Speaker 3: don't have much participation accounts in the team sports, so 1115 01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:23,320 Speaker 3: it's a matter of just you know, whose ox is 1116 01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:26,280 Speaker 3: being gored and different approaches to it. It is interesting 1117 01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:30,280 Speaker 3: that they they are dominating anything, given the population is 1118 01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:32,440 Speaker 3: equal about equal to the state of Minnesota. 1119 01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:36,240 Speaker 4: But apparently they raise happy citizens, which is something we struggled. 1120 01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:38,960 Speaker 2: Do you think it's much darker here? It feels like it, 1121 01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:39,360 Speaker 2: doesn't it. 1122 01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:42,960 Speaker 4: I don't know, or is that just sensationalistic reporting by 1123 01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:45,040 Speaker 4: the media jackals. I guess we'll have to go maybe 1124 01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:47,240 Speaker 4: I'll have to go to the home country someday you. 1125 01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:52,960 Speaker 2: Should, they should.
