1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: I think I started doing radio for KFAM in the

2
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: summer of nineteen ninety two, So even I can do

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: that math, that's eight plus twenty six coming up on

4
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: thirty four years. And I can honestly say today something

5
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 1: is happening from a broadcast standpoint that I have never

6
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: before experienced. I am in the regular cafean studio. Well,

7
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: we have this plush, new carpeting that's been put in.

8
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: And when I look to my left where studio A

9
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: is located, control room is located, I see nobody.

10
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 2: It's empty.

11
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: It's eerie, and yet on several levels, Brett Blake Moore

12
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: is with us through the magic of technology. Is that correct?

13
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: But Brett, Brett, I believe I am you sound good.

14
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: Connections sounds very good.

15
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 3: I don't The only thing I don't know is if

16
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 3: I'm too loud or too quiet, So you'll have to

17
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 3: let me know.

18
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: Well, I think you could.

19
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: I'm here, you could be a little quieter, But I

20
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: think I think it's pretty good right now. And here's

21
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: what's interesting a Sunday Sermons. It's it is live, it

22
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: is local, and we will be with you between now

23
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: and eleven o'clock to discuss the Storm of the Century

24
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: and many many other Toy Department items as well. Originally today,

25
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: the warning from Chad Abbott, the programming director, was there

26
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: was a chance that you might be able to handle

27
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: the controls but not necessarily be part of the show.

28
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: So at that point I'm thinking, well, that's going to

29
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: be another form of history for me. I mean, I

30
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: filibuster a lot, obviously, but this would have been the

31
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: first time I'd ever have to do a program entirely

32
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: on my own for two hours without a laugh track

33
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 1: from a producer and or a sidekick, etc. Now, obviously

34
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: you guys figured out the technology because we can hear

35
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: you loud and clear.

36
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: But I was committed. Do you know why I was committed?

37
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 2: Bred Blake Moore, Well, you're committed to the bet because

38
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: it's the fan.

39
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: I mean, hey, come on, we have a responsibility on

40
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: a day like this, on a morning like this to

41
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: the Rubes, absolutely obligated to make it work. So I'm

42
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: glad we are going to be able to make it work.

43
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 1: Between now at eleven o'clock. I do need today, perhaps

44
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: more than ever. Feedback and texts via the Bradshawn Brian

45
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: Kafey and text line from the Rubes. This is your

46
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: chance to be a weather spotter. This is your chance

47
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: to offer up live conditions wherever you might be. And

48
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: it is interesting, blakemore because I was just scrolling via

49
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: x and are you familiar with Bring Me the News

50
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: dot com? I think you've part of it. Yeah, I'm

51
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: sure you have. Here's their most recent tweet. Remember, just

52
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: because there's not a foot of snow at your house

53
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: doesn't mean there aren't huge totals elsewhere. So the defensiveness

54
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: has already begun, because I do think there's a wide disparity,

55
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: at least to this point in the latest storm of

56
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: the century on the snow totals my neck of the

57
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: woods West, I don't think as of when I was

58
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: leaving there was much more than maybe four inches of snow,

59
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: a healthy snowfall.

60
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: Right now, there's other areas.

61
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: Apparently Apple Valley has already got a foot, and in

62
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: this case it's not the Apple Valley joke I guess

63
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: might be true. So there are some wide variances on

64
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: the snowfall totals to this point. Is this going to

65
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: end up in the end being as historic as was

66
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: absolutely guaranteed by the weather terrace.

67
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 2: I don't know.

68
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: I'm still skeptical about that. But outside here in Saint

69
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: Louis Park, after it had led up a bit before

70
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: I left the Western suburbs, then it it it was

71
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: like another wave coming in. And I guess there's supposed

72
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: to be several more waves today as well.

73
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 3: Correct, it seems to me. I mean, I'm looking outside

74
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,799
Speaker 3: right now. It's not slowing down at all. It's coming

75
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,679
Speaker 3: down hard and fast right now. So I mean I tried,

76
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 3: I looked outside. I went outside this morning, and it

77
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 3: just did not look good. And well, you might not

78
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 3: have the vehicle backup plan. Yeah, you probably don't.

79
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,679
Speaker 1: I'm guessing you don't have like a hum Vy you

80
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: you know, maybe have the perfect weather terrain vehicle as well.

81
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: Do you still have a rear wheel drive car? I

82
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: think it's front off the top that's a little better.

83
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: So it's not exactly built for snow noys. Those ways

84
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: like those weigh like eighty pounds, don't they.

85
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, correct, Yeah, and they're so low to the ground,

86
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 3: good gas mileage. Definitely a big suv though, Yeah, well

87
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 3: it is. I had I learned that the hard way

88
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 3: many years ago. Uh, trying to come to town with

89
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 3: the you know, the sporty rear wheel drive Nissan.

90
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 2: It was just an embarrassment.

91
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: I was just I was ashamed of myself after basically

92
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: one or two snowfalls, for sure. So the text I'm

93
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: hoping will keep coming in with reports and then we

94
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: will have plenty of time to get in a number

95
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: of a Toy department subjects.

96
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 2: But it is weird.

97
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: I mean, I can hear your voice obviously, so you're

98
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: you're a part of this, but it is strange to

99
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: look over and to see nobody, you know, vacant. I

100
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: think I'm unless they're going to do construction on a Sunday,

101
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: which I'm assuming, especially given the weather, that's unlikely. I

102
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: think I'm pretty much the only one. It's kind of

103
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: a ghost town situation. The drive in for me, I

104
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: got I will admit I got cocky early because when

105
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: I got up, the snow in my neck of the

106
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: woods had pretty much stopped. That was still blown around

107
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: a little bit, and I looked, you know, at the

108
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: streets and they'd already kind of been plowed a little bit,

109
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: but it looked to me like it was okay again,

110
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: like four inches of snow, you know, with some a

111
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: little bit of drifting. I go, I should be able

112
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: to get in, okay, you know, just go slow, deliberate.

113
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: I should be able to get there, because it's the fan.

114
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: I mean, we're obligated to do it. But then once

115
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: I started driving, it picked up again, and the visibility

116
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: there were a couple there were a few times where

117
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: the visibility was not very good, traffic light, and I

118
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: made the.

119
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 2: Decision. I don't know how other people feel about this.

120
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: You have options sometimes depending on where you live, right

121
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: where you can take I call them surface roads, back roads,

122
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: or you can take the highway right and the highway

123
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: or nearly would be fastest. But I avoided the highway

124
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: because my concern is that's where if you do run

125
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: into a big backup right where there's an accident or two,

126
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: you can't you're kind of stuck right, So you're going

127
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: slower on the surface roads. But if you're you know,

128
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: you're less likely I think, to run into a bottleneck.

129
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: So I stayed off of the highway. Plus again, in

130
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: places right now, the visibility is low, so that's the issue.

131
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: You get those chain reaction recks on freeways. And that's

132
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: why because a lot of times, even if you're going slow,

133
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: you can't you can't see, you know, more than maybe

134
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: a quarter of a mile or half a mile ahead

135
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: of you, so you don't know what pile up might

136
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: have taken place, people sliding around, or whatever the case

137
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: may Maybe would you in general classify yourself as a

138
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: confident driver in snow nervous driver in snow?

139
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:00,679
Speaker 2: What would you say?

140
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 3: I mean, I just think it just depends on the situation,

141
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 3: Like it depends on what car I have too, So

142
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 3: like in my car, I would be nervous, especially days

143
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 3: like today. Yeah, but if I had a you know,

144
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 3: an suv all wheel drive.

145
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: I'd probably be pretty confident going into it.

146
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 3: And the surface road thing, it's it's a double edged

147
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 3: sword because you're there's not gonna be other people on it,

148
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 3: most likely right less car, so less chance of you

149
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 3: rear ending someone or sliding into someone. But the highway

150
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 3: has more chance of there being usable tire tracks. So

151
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 3: it kind of goes both ways, depending on what you

152
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 3: want to do.

153
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: A lot of good texts coming in this is from

154
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: Jeff and Richfield. This snowstorm gave about as much effort

155
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: as Julius Randall on defense Wow, it's a good cheap shot.

156
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 2: And by the way, we're going to get.

157
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: To some Julius Randall conversation, because I guess I didn't

158
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: even realize that in the the fourth quarter of their

159
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: most recent game and victory against an utterly depleted Golden

160
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: State Warriors club, it still was harder than it should

161
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: have been. I think the Warriors cut the lead to

162
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: like eight at one point in the fourth before the

163
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: Wolves pulled away again. And Randall, I think, did not

164
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: play in the last nine minutes. In other words, that

165
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: stretch where you give your starters time off, generally you

166
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: bring them back.

167
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 2: He never got brought back.

168
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: And I'm wondering if that's indicative of anything, because of anything,

169
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: in particular, because I believe Finchy said it was not

170
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 1: related to injury, which might mean even the biggest Randall

171
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: fan in the world, Finchy might be a bit frustrated

172
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: and exasperated by how poorly he has played.

173
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 2: And let's remember when the Wolves made their big.

174
00:09:55,800 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 1: Jump last year, it was it's really largely was spearheaded

175
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: by Julius Randall getting healthy coming off of injury, coming

176
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: in fresh and telling us that as he sat he

177
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: came to the conclusion that the best way to help

178
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: this team wasn't to score so much, but maybe to

179
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: be a distributor, play a little bit like a point forward,

180
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 1: and it was very successful. Unfortunately, at least especially the

181
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: last few weeks, he's not been that player at all.

182
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 1: And of course the Wolves have a I think it's

183
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: a noon national TV start against ok City. Do you

184
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: know if that game's on the fan, I'm assuming it

185
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: might be. I'm sure it is on the fan as well. Okay,

186
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: I think it's one o'clock eastern, twelfth Central, the first

187
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: national game of.

188
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 2: The day, the Wolves in Okay.

189
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: See, so we're going to get to lots more of

190
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: your texts because a lot of people are volunteering whatever

191
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: input and information they can give. A lot of stuff

192
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: I know already got canceled today.

193
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 2: Before.

194
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: I think last stuff got canceled last night, the old

195
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: anticipation cancelation. We're doing more and more of that. We've

196
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: debated that point before, we've discussed it. But that's I think,

197
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: even in Minnesota, something that would have been considered sacrilegious

198
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: definitely when I first got the town in the mid

199
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: eighties eighty six. Now is fairly commonplace, and we've laid

200
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: out a lot of the reasons for that. I think

201
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: there's a fear factor of a bus gets stranded or

202
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: somebody gets stranded, and then they're the pushback that officials

203
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: are going to get. So they've gone with the let's

204
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: just let's just shut everything down as quickly as we

205
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: as we possibly can. Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay Guy checking in, Dan.

206
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,719
Speaker 1: I ripped you and Gerwy's guy Blake Moore yesterday for

207
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: your fear of the weather, fully expecting that you were

208
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: laying the groundwork. Second scroll down here they're coming in

209
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: quick as usual for a no show Sunday.

210
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 2: Am.

211
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: I'm retracting my statement and admitting error. Thank you for

212
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: making the trip in. That's Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay Guy

213
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: listening from kan Kun. Mixed weather this week with a

214
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: little rain still Beatsonami Kyler, Well, we will, I'm sure

215
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: tomorrow be naming the Snami.

216
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: I don't.

217
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: I'm not sure the committee is going to go Kyler

218
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: because it's so obvious, and sometimes we don't like to

219
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: do the obvious.

220
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 2: But we'll see.

221
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: So in terms of like firing the brakes, I can

222
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: still do that from here technologically, just like always. Is

223
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: that correct? Brot blakemore outstanding? Yeah, you sound good. The

224
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: technology is in our favor. I don't get a cocky

225
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: because I know things can break down every once in

226
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: a while.

227
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: But so far, so good.

228
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: Let's get a pause in here, set up the rest

229
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: of a very controversial snonami edition of Sunday Sermons here

230
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: in the fan, Dan Minnesota reminds us little modulation there,

231
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: that's good. On this date in Minnesota sports history, your

232
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings signed a free agent quarterback named Kirk Cousins

233
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: to a three year, eighty four million dollar contract. I

234
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: bring it up not to cause pain, but to just

235
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: remind you how quickly.

236
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 2: Well two things.

237
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: One, how endless and painful the Vikings quarterback saga seems

238
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: to be, and how things can change so dramatically. Now,

239
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: you know, twenty eighteen is a while ago. Now it's

240
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 1: eight years, but not that long ago. And that was

241
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: the beginning of the deal, three years, eighty four million dollars.

242
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: Think of all the trials and tribulations at the quarterback

243
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: position in Minnesota just since then. It's actually mind blowing

244
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: a little bit and to a certain extent, probably depressing.

245
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: We're going to get to some Kyler Murray analytics a

246
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: little later in this broadcast as well. The photo that

247
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: Wentnesota used for the tweet on this date in Minnesota

248
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: sports history in twenty eighteen. I look back on it

249
00:14:54,640 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: and find it indicative. And it's a photo in which Kirk, Cousins,

250
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: Rick Spielman, and Mike Zimmer are all at the front posing.

251
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: Look at the pay attention, in particular at the look

252
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: on Mike Zimmer's face.

253
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 2: Tell me.

254
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: That it doesn't tell you everything about maybe, deep down

255
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: how on board the krusty, curmudgeonly former head coach of

256
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: this team actually was. They never really seemed to have

257
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: a good vibe. At some points it seemed to be

258
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: almost openly hostile. But I know we know a lot

259
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: more now than then. But I don't think I'm reading

260
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: too much into the look on Z's face, like, Okay, yeah,

261
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: I got to do something with the quarterback position. I

262
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: guess this is the guy, which I I guess that part.

263
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: I I kind of got tickled by that particular photo,

264
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: for sure. Let me Rick, I asked for texts. I

265
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: got a bunch of them. We are live today. This

266
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: is not a best of Sunday sermons. We will be

267
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: following the Nonami. I got a lot of good background

268
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: for you before we're done on what has fallen here

269
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: and how much further we have to go for this

270
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: to be truly historic and blakemore during this segment, this

271
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: second segment. Okay, there've already been like five times when

272
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: just out of habit, I've looked over to my left

273
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: to get, you know, a nod from you or some

274
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: phony laugh from you, so that you make me feel

275
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: like what I said was funnier than it really was.

276
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: It's hard to break the habit. I'm looking at where

277
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: is he? Oh wait, that's right, He's not there. But

278
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: you are here.

279
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 2: You are there, Yeah, the chair is there. Yeah.

280
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: And you're getting this stuff done technologically, so that's the

281
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: most important thing. Let me get to some texts. Man,

282
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: there's a bunch. This is from Alan and Afton. I'm

283
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: down here in Brett's home area of Des Moines, picking

284
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: up my daughter flying in from Florida. This was the

285
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: closest airport she could get to today. I will be

286
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: making the stupid drive north starting about eleven am. Rain

287
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: here now, but the blizzard warning is still alive and

288
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: well for the trip. Not something I would normally do.

289
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll survive to regret later. Alan trying to get

290
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: back to Afton today.

291
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 2: Godspeed to him. That's yeah.

292
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 3: A lot of times when it's snows on thirty five,

293
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 3: they'll just close it, like around the border, like Mason City.

294
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 3: They'll just say we're done today. Do you know what,

295
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 3: godspeed getting back up.

296
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: I have been on that road on one of those occasions.

297
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 1: It was the famous time where my sister we were

298
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:57,199
Speaker 1: driving to Chicago for Christmas and around here major snow

299
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: had already begun, and she mapped out, I think you

300
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: can get I'm looking at the radar and the maps.

301
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: I think you can get behind it. So we went

302
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: away I've never gone before. We ended up in Iowa

303
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: and we ended up having to get a hotel. Lucky

304
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 1: to get a hotel under those conditions. Had to smuggle

305
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: the dog in because the dog. You know, it was

306
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: a hotel where there weren't suposed to be dogs. What else

307
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 1: are you gonna do with the pooch? And it was

308
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: exactly that they had closed the highway. There was like,

309
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: we're just done. That was the end of the deal.

310
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: Four to six inches in Maple Grove. So far, snowfall

311
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: continues with wins at fifteen to twenty miles per hour.

312
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: Listing via iHeartRadio app while shoveling, wish I was on

313
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 1: o fence rather than trying to defend this blizzard like conditions.

314
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: Miss Rick majeris this time of the year. Thanks for

315
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:48,720

Speaker 1: My sources say both the Tias Jones and Ben Gestling

318
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: statues in Apple Valley are covered up to their necks

319
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: in snow. Must be looking at five to six feet

320
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: of snow by now. Fan outdoor seal of approval to

321
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: mister Barrel for braving the elements to deliver sermons this morning.

322
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: He's not the indoors guy most rubes assumed. There's a

323
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: lot of misconceptions about me. That's just one of them.

324
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: Wild Lost, I missed it completely. We're going to get

325
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: to that. It sounds like heinse is bitter already, so

326
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: we'll have blakemorephile live report.

327
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 2: I'm the latest wild Loss.

328

Speaker 1: While getting this is from Dave in Chicago, while getting

329
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: more like the Wolves by the day with a schedule

330
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: loss yesterday, m robot cars that communicate with each other

331
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: solves this as much as I hate a I eighty

332
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: degree weather in Arizona this past week. Arrived home last night,

333
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: could not wait to go back. We're about to leave

334
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: for a Bantams date tournament in Woodbury. Youth hockey bows

335
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 1: to nothing, writes Matt from Minneapolis. Fallness knows minimal minimal.

336
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 2: What do you make of this one?

337
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: From Ryan Minimal visibility picked up the bar crowd at

338
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: eleven PM and conditions were horrible. What does he mean

339
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: when he says he picked up the bar crowd.

340
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 2: I'm assuming he's like an uber driver.

341
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: Oh I see yeahs so he's saying, and so he's saying.

342
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 2: Even last night it was bad.

343
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: I did the Julius Randall cheap shot already six to

344
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: eight inches in Dayton, Minnesota. John and Saint Paul's of

345
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: thirty minutes ago three point four inches of snow in

346
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: Saint Paul's storm of the century. Yeah right, I gotta

347
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: check in from lovel Let me see if I can

348
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: find that here in a hurry and read it. Here's

349
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 1: what he writes. He sent this about fifteen minutes ago.

350
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: So far Snowmageddon is bs out in my neck of

351
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 1: the woods. I'm looking out and driveway and can see

352
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: all four of my tires touching the pavement.

353
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: Looks like just a few inches on the ground, but.

354
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: It is a snow glow out and it might look

355
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: different when I get into the car in a few

356
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: hours to head to the local watering hole. As of now,

357
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 1: hanging l on the chicken littles, well, I don't think.

358
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: I think we got to be careful how quickly we

359
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: jump to conclusions, right cause originally I think the range

360
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 1: for this storm of time wise was last night from

361
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: like six o'clock to I want to say, like, isn't

362
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: it like to five or six am Monday tomorrow? So

363
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 1: you know, this could be the kind of thing where

364
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: it's coming in waves and they'll be believe me, there'll

365
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: be plenty of time to hammer if at the end

366
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: of it we don't get anywhere near quite what we

367
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 1: were supposed to. I'll give you Brett blakemore. You probably

368
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 1: have memorized this list already. Well, no, you're not really

369
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: one of us, so maybe not Top ten twin city

370
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: snowfalls between eighteen eighty four and twenty twenty six, And

371
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: I want to see how far we're going to have

372
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,719
Speaker 1: to go down this list before we get to what

373
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: this particular Snownomi might represent.

374
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 2: You ready, all right?

375
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: We all know the Halloween's got to be there somewhere.

376
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: Halloween's number one. October thirty one through November three, nineteen

377
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: ninety one, twenty eight point four inches. It's the famous

378
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: Halloween blizzard. That's number one. It's gonna be tough to

379
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: top in any decade. Number two. And I wasn't here

380
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: for this one Thanksgiving weekend in nineteen eighty five, November

381
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: twenty nine to December one, twenty one point one inches.

382
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: The next one, I wasn't here for either January twenty

383
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: two and twenty three of nineteen eighty two, twenty inches.

384
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: And here's the kicker on that one, January twenty to

385
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: twenty first, So two days earlier before the twenty inch

386
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: er in nineteen eighty two, there was a seventeen point

387
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:14,959
Speaker 1: four inch snowfall. Can you imagine the weather terrorists in

388
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 1: that environment, they lose their minds. We'd never hear from

389
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: them again.

390
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 2: Before that.

391
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: So that's one, two three, that's four fifth largest Twin

392
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: Cities snowfall, the so called Domebuster December ten, eleven, twenty ten,

393
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: seventeen point one inches. I was here for that. Next

394
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: on the list, that's five. So number six is the

395
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: famous Armacist Armistice Day blizzard November eleven through thirteen, nineteen forty,

396
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:52,479
Speaker 1: sixteen point eight inches. That's the Bud Grant blizzard after that,

397
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty five March three to four, sixteen point seven

398
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: inches before that. So this is now number eight on

399
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: the list sixteen seven March eleven to fourteen, nineteen forty.

400
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: Now what do you think the tiebreaker is there? Blake Mark,

401
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: because they're both sixteen point seven inches from eighty five

402
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: and forty, but the nineteen eighty five to one is

403
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: put ahead of it. I wonder what the tiebreaker would be.

404
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: There must be some kind of you know, like there's

405
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: we're winning percentage of stuff. There must be during yeah, something, Yeah,

406
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. Number nine sixteen and a half inches

407
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: late December nineteen eighty two and number ten January twenty

408
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: to twenty first, nineteen seventeen, sixteen inches of snow.

409
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 2: That's the top ten.

410
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: So if we're going to get historic and you know,

411
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 1: make the top ten, we got a lot of work

412
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: to do, don't we. Now, maybe there's still time, and

413
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: I know some areas already are at I think eight

414
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: or nine inches, but in the Metro area, if we

415
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: did an average, I don't think it's anywhere near that

416
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: at this point. So will we get as historic as expected.

417
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: I'm dubious, but we will see. But that's the top

418
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 1: ten most snow in a single day November one. That's

419
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: the Halloween blizzard that lasted several days, but for one

420
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: day November one. So the day after Halloween we got

421
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: received eighteen zero point five inches of snow.

422
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 3: You know what the spin zone is going to be

423
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 3: though that, Well, this is the most this is the

424
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 3: biggest snow nami in the month of March.

425
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 2: They got to go look at that top ten. Oh

426
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:32,479
Speaker 2: that's a good one.

427
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 3: The spins easy for me to say, well but even that,

428
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 3: but look at I just make it in.

429
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 2: That's true.

430
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 1: But I'm looking at there's there's the two that are

431
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: tied at sixteen point seven inches. We're both in March

432
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 1: eighty five and out nineteen forty. So they're not even

433
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: able to use that. So here's what's going to happen,

434
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: and this has happened before. They're going to pick the

435
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: place that's the outlier where there is a foot or

436
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: thirteen or four teen inches of snow, and they're going

437
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: to concentrate and build the entire deal.

438
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 2: Well, we were right.

439
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: See we told you on the basis of that one

440
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 1: outlier amount.

441
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you that's the way this thing is

442
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 2: going to go.

443
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 1: I'm looking at a screen now that has yeah, like

444
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 1: long like six inches Maple Grove six egans seven and

445
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: a half right now, and then.

446
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 2: Who's get out of the way, buddy.

447
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 1: There's a twelve point eight, But I can't see the

448
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: town that's even further south.

449
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 3: So that's going to be some of the bit. There's

450
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 3: no question about that. Go ahead in defense of the

451
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 3: weather terrorists. Yes, though I do think you might even

452
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 3: have a harder time getting home than you had getting

453
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 3: to the station, because I don't think it's not supposed

454
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 3: to end.

455
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 2: No, like it might be true o'clock tonight.

456
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: The only advantage as they goes on is if the

457
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 1: plows are working right, if you have a greater amount

458
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: of time for the plows to get out there. And

459
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: I got lucky one of the surface roads I was on,

460
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: I got behind a plow and I didn't mind it.

461
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: In this case, because you're not going to go that

462
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: fast onto those you know, side roads anyway.

463
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 2: So the beauty of it was he's.

464
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: Kind of cleared me a path, which actually worked pretty well.

465
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: But you're right, I think it may get worse before

466
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: it gets better. I think now it's just gonna be

467
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: a matter of what is sustained through the rest of

468
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 1: the day.

469
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 2: I don't think though.

470
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,199
Speaker 1: I'll give you the best example, like I got up

471
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: several times in the course of the evening just out

472
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: of curiosity because everybody said, well, starting about two am,

473
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: you better batten down the hatches because it's going to

474
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: be like hurricane force winds, right. I mean that was

475
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: when the blizzard stuff was, and at least through that

476
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: stretch where I was, it was not The winds were healthy,

477
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: but they were not. They weren't even as bad as

478
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: the gusty as they'd been a couple of days before.

479
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: So the other I guess bad news is Monday. Regardless

480
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: of how much snow we end up with. The bad

481
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: news is Monday's gonna be bitterly cold, right. I think

482
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: the wind shows are gonna below zero on Monday before

483
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: things begin to moderate Whennesota actually, by the way, via

484
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if you noticed this, Blakemore he actually

485
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: via X did it. He did the old Fox nine

486
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: trip trick, got out a yard stick and to give

487
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: us a sense of how much snow is in his backyard,

488
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: you know, the old yardstick thing. And then I've talked

489
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: about that before, where we've seen weather reporters from various

490
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: stations and they'll say, well, is an example of how

491
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: different it can be from place to place. On this

492
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: side of the street, I get my yard stick out

493
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: and it's six inches of snow, and I get to

494
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: the other side of the street and it's three point two.

495
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: And they, you know, they got like X they I

496
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: think they carry like ten yardsticks so they can just

497
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: you know, install them pretty much anywhere. Because the visual

498
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: of ooh, it's like a yard stick up to eight

499
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: inches of snow. So that I'm shocked that Dan Minnesota,

500
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: uh went with that, very very surprised. Carol Levin preempted

501
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: the NBC Morning Show with a two hour snow special

502
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: That seems a bit premature, but here's what I'll say.

503
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: We've talked about this before. Weather sells Man. It's it's

504
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: it's it's not even dirty little secret anymore. It's it's

505
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: an open secret weather cells. And if that means you

506
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: got to, you know, embellish a little bit or play

507
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: with it a little bit. People watch. Much as we

508
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: all complain about it, we end up watching it. So

509
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: in my perfect world, you'd wait it out a little bit.

510
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: You know, let's let's have truer signs of disaster, of

511
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: a real historic soonami before we go that particular route,

512
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: because you know what else has to happen when you,

513
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: by definition, when you have a two hour special, what

514
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: do you have to do?

515
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 2: You have to fill it.

516
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: So I think it becomes too easy to be tempted

517
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,239
Speaker 1: to make it even seem worse than it is on

518
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: that basis. And of course our mantra is respect the snonami,

519
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: but don't fear it. And we stand by that mantra today.

520
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: There were people again last night, though, who are basically

521
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: saying and here's why language matters. I know the weather

522
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: people hate when I say this, But here's why language matters.

523
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: You read it for me Friday, and I'd heard it

524
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: from somebody else too, and I thought, I don't know

525
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: if this was apple weather. I can't remember what weather

526
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: this was. What did they say Friday travel will be impossible.

527
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: That's the term they used. They didn't say difficult, challenge,

528
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: not advised. They said it will be impossible. So when

529
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:10,719
Speaker 1: you you bake in language like that, people listen, and

530
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: it does set you up for pushback if you say, well,

531
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: wait a minute, that's is that very precise language? Is

532
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: that sounds a little bit like fear mongering language. And

533
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: that's the danger of setting it up using terms like that,

534
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: and people go they scratch your head and go, well, no,

535
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: this isn't This is a good storm. I mean, this

536
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: is legit, it's it's but come on, I mean, what

537
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: if if if you're telling me it's impossible to travel,

538
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: it's going to have to be one would assume a

539
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: historic storm and maybe again by the end of today

540
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: it it will be. We are playing the long game

541
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: in this particular case. You know, I might as well

542
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: do let me do this now. No, I'll save it.

543
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: I'll save it. I got something coming up that I

544
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: want to get to in just a minute. Following Dan,

545
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: when Anesota's lead just yardsticked our driveway a good six

546
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: inches of snow in Hudson, why do Minnesotans get mad?

547
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: When actual snowfall is less than predicted in South Dakota,

548
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: we're happy with less snow. Where did Brett stay last night?

549
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: Did Chad Abbott put him up in a hotel? Dave

550
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: in Utah?

551
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 2: Well?

552
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: No, as it turns out, you're you're home, but through

553
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: the magic of technology setup. Yeah, that's that's Is this

554
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: the first time we've done it? Quite like this? Is

555
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,479
Speaker 1: this like groundbreaking or is this something we do more

556
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: routinely but just don't talk about it sometimes.

557
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 3: I've I've done Fano demand from home and okay, record

558
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 3: it with this setup, but I've never done live on

559
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 3: the fan with the setup. So yeah, I'm pumped that

560
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 3: people think I'm there.

561
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 2: That's great. That's it.

562
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: Aloha Sunday, Aloha Sunday, Dan. You definitely get a participation

563
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,959
Speaker 1: met for making it into the ghost flagship Today. Down

564
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: here in the Missisipi Valley and Red Wing, we've gotten

565
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: thirteen inches of snow thus far. My uncle lives in Frontenact,

566
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: just south of us. He has sixteen inches. The shovel

567
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: is idling waiting for the next round. Grateful to all

568
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: the plow drivers working on a Sunday Bee. Well, that's

569
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: red Rover in red Wing. Apparently the storm tracked more

570
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: to the south. Rochester did get the snownami a foot

571
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: of snow and still snowing. Maybe we should check in

572
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: with the Knocker. Although the Knocker is rarely there, the

573
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: Knocker is always traveling. Is the snowstorm that kept John

574
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: Wooden from taking the Gophers job on that list? That's

575
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: a great question, Dan, Minnesota. When was the When was

576
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: the John Wooden interview that didn't happen allegedly because of

577
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: the snowstorm?

578
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 2: Will you update.

579
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: Us on this? Sonami canceled my family's Hawaii trip.

580
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 2: Man, that's rough. That's a rough six one two guy.

581
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: It was supposed to be gone until next Sunday, but

582
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: the flight is camn sold. If we don't get at

583
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: least twelve inches of snow, I will be very salty.

584
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't blame you for that, because I don't

585
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 2: know how that works.

586
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 1: Because on those kinds of flights do you have Can

587
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: it be rescheduled where you're you're you go out the

588
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: next day or the the day after that, I'm not

589
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: exactly sure how that might work. All right, let's do this.

590
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: I want to come back with a very special uh,

591
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 1: this could be a historic. Speak of historic, it'll be

592
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: a historic issuing of the bumper to bumper seal of approval.

593
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: We will talk to Minnesota wild hockey did not go

594
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: well against the Rangers last night. Then I think, wasn't

595
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: there a brawl late Blakemore.

596
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 2: There was a handful of handful them. Yeah, I got

597
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 2: pretty feisty.

598
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the head coach was was I'm told, very

599
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 1: feisty and very angry. After the game. We'll get to

600
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: some Wolve stuff. We got some leftover Kyler Murray contract.

601
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: Not controversy so much as analysis and commentary to get to.

602
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,919
Speaker 1: So still time to get to everything on a very

603
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: controversial and we like to say snonami centric Sunday sermons

604
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: live right here in the fan. It's the bumper to

605
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: bumper seal of approval. I might well be accused of

606
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: lack of objectivity in this particular issuing of the highly

607
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: coveted bumper to bumper seal of approval. I'll grant that point,

608
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: But my comeback to that would be some stuff you

609
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: just know, even if you're not necessarily coming at it

610
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 1: from the most objective point of view. So today, I

611
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: without any reservation without any apology, issue the bumper to

612
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: bumper seal of approval to Justin Guard to Guardsy producer

613
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 1: of this show. We got to start together on Sunday

614
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: sermons a long, long time ago, and a lot of

615
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: people had said, well, you never really explained Friday until

616
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: I did later in the show what the announcement was

617
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: that prevented guards you from being on the program on

618
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: that day. And the announcement was at the last minute.

619
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: He was given the opportunity to be the Channel forty

620
00:36:55,160 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: five voice of the girls State high school basketball tournament.

621
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,839
Speaker 1: Did was it one or two games Friday, but did

622
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: all of the title games Saturday, and I thought he

623
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 1: was magnificent. I really did think it was to you know,

624
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: to not do that work is obviously he's done a

625
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: lot of play by play, he's gotten more used to

626
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: that on the radio side. But you know, that's a

627
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: big jump up out of nowhere, all of a sudden,

628
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,919
Speaker 1: and I just thought he handled it great. I thought

629
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: the broadcast he and Leah b outstanding. The the final

630
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: game of the night that was a big time competition.

631
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: I thoroughly enjoyed the rose Mount Hopkins game that in

632
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: fact and a shocking come from behind victory for rose Mount.

633
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: They ended up winning sixty three to sixty two. They'd

634
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 1: been behind for a decent amount of the second half.

635
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: They were down seven to the top seed Hopkins. I

636
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: think it was sixty to fifty three, five minutes to go.

637
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: Came back in one. But I just thought he handled

638
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,240
Speaker 1: it great. I thought the tone of it was good

639
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 1: and great opportunity for him. I'm glad he had the

640
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: chance to do it. I you know, and I don't

641
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: even know what it leads to. I don't know if

642
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 1: it has to lead to anything. But I thought, for

643
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 1: the first time of doing that many games too in

644
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: one day, basically virtually one after the other, I thought

645
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: he did a really, really good work. And I know

646
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: a lot of other people who have you know, who

647
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 1: are less who don't know him as well as I do.

648
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 1: I haven't worked with him, obviously, we're coming to the

649
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: same conclusion. So I feel safe doing it, even if

650
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: my own objectivity might be called into question.

651
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 2: But it was.

652
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 1: It was great TV. That last game especially was outstanding.

653
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: YE had the great you know, the obviously Greenway winning again.

654
00:38:56,280 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: I think that's five in a row for for that

655
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: run and a good day of basketball. I was in

656
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: and out of it pretty much all day because I

657
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: had a couple other responsibilities. But I'm sure Guardian and

658
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: I will talk about it on Monday. I'm sure he'll

659
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: be self deprecating to a fault, but it seemed like,

660
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,839
Speaker 1: I mean to me, you know, what you're looking for,

661
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: especially somebody who's newer to it, is the same thing

662
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: I think you look for in radio. You look for

663
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:29,280
Speaker 1: people who on air seem to be enjoying what they're doing,

664
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 1: enjoying the product, enjoying and having a good vibe with

665
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:39,879
Speaker 1: the person you're working with. That combination, and I think

666
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: it was three for three in that case. So I'm

667
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: sure i'll talk to you about it more tomorrow and

668
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: he'll be aw shuck saying it. But that's why I

669
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: wanted to get it in today, because it was it

670
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: came together. What makes it interesting is I think it

671
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: came together. I don't know what changed, if somebody got

672
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 1: sick or there was a scheduling issue for whoever was

673
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,800
Speaker 1: going to be doing that those games, but I'm pretty

674
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: sure it came together late, and you know, to turn

675
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 1: that be prepared for it, seem to know what the

676
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,399
Speaker 1: hell you're doing seeming to know who the players are.

677
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 2: I think they kept the nonsense to a.

678
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: Minimum, yet still I think it was a fun broadcast.

679
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: They weren't too serious about it as well.

680
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,839
Speaker 2: So I thought it was good work all the way around.

681
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: But I hope and I hope others in our audience

682
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 1: had a chance to watch at least some of that.

683
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 1: I thought it was very, very good. This is from

684
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: two on eight. Guy Justin was spectacular. His seal of

685
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:42,280
Speaker 1: approval designation is indeed well deserved. Did Guardzy just Wally

686
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:43,320
Speaker 1: pip someone?

687
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe that's how it happened.

688
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 1: Sometimes, you know where it's a last minute situation, and

689
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: it's why a lot of people don't like taking time off.

690
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 2: You get paranoid. What if somebody.

691
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: Comes by and and and and does it better than

692
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: you do? That? Indeed, sometimes does happen. Two on eight

693
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: Guy checking in and park rapid zero snow wind chill

694
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: is zero degrees right now. I think Abbott has a

695
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,919
Speaker 1: problem on his hands. Blake Moore will want to work

696
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:20,919
Speaker 1: permanently from home?

697
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 2: Is that true? Blake Moore?

698
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 1: Is this? Do we open up a can of worms?

699
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 1: Making this technology work?

700
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 3: As well as it seems to be so far today,

701
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 3: I will say it was very nice being able to

702
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 3: get my own coffee and eat two steps away from

703
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 3: the bathroom at any point in time.

704
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 2: That is nice. I have I did cross my mind. Yeah, yeah,

705
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 2: that's what I was afraid of. That's that's part of

706
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 2: the deal. Six one two guy writes Lori Fisher is.

707
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 1: On nine at high V, so I get I'm wondering

708
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: if that means she did a live report. Hi V

709
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: is her grocery store. She's always wanted to be in

710
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 1: front of the camera. And by the way, I hope

711
00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: you're also speaking of a TV I hope you chance

712
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: to watch Enough said Friday Night. I don't know what

713
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 1: time it actually ran, because I think we had Fox

714
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: that I had Baseball World Baseball Classic Friday Night, but

715
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: a very special guest for the entire broadcast, the entire

716
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: thirty minutes, was Bill Garren of the Minnesota whild We

717
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: had a lot of fun. I think he did too.

718
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 1: I even think we might be able to convince him

719
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 1: to do it again. But if you did not get

720
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,320
Speaker 1: a chance to watch it, it's supposed to be available

721
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,359
Speaker 1: via the Fox Local app. I hope it is because

722
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: I had a tweet from somebody saying it had not

723
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: been that last week's was up but not this week.

724
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: So hopefully that's been taken care of by then. But

725
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 1: it was a lot of fun to talk to Bill

726
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: Garrett Blake Moore in when we come back at the

727
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: top of the hour, maybe we stay with some hockey talk,

728
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 1: because how much of our four to two loss last

729
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: night did you watch against the Rangers?

730
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 2: Did you watch any or all of it? I was

731
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 2: lucky enough to be there. Oh you were there?

732
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,359
Speaker 1: Oh good, All right, we'll we'll talk about that because

733
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 1: the thing that I'm always curious buy is we talk

734
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: constantly about how rubes can sometimes overreact to a loss

735
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 1: or a couple of losses, and it's a long season, right,

736
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: and so you have to sort of calibrate that stuff.

737
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: But in this case, it's the head coach who seemed

738
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 1: very unhappy, vowed some changes. It sounds like, maybe to

739
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,280
Speaker 1: their scheduling a little bit, and maybe even how often

740
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: they're practicing at a time of year where it's, you know,

741
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: generally considered kind of difficult to practice because of scheduling issues.

742
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: He did not he seemed very very cranky, so we'll

743
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: give you a chance to weigh in on whether he

744
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: should be as cranky as he is and whether we

745
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: got anything to really be concerned about here, because it

746
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: sounds like what he's unhappy with is that once we

747
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: got going, we were fine and at least in terms

748
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 1: of dominating play, if not on the scoreboard, but that

749
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: we started too late. You know, it's the old start.

750
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 1: You're you got to start your column, and in this case,

751
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 1: apparently the Minsota whild had to start their game earlier.

752
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 2: I had not done that. We'll get to some wolf stuff.

753
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: I got a couple of interesting Kyler Murray nuggets, believe

754
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 1: it or not, that we have not addressed before.

755
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,760
Speaker 2: And we'll keep getting the Sstonami reports.

756
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 1: We love them via the Bratshawn Bryant Cafe and text

757
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: line at six four six eight six back for our

758
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,640

761
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,720
Speaker 1: live version of worst case scenario.

762
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 2: I believe that's going to be. What are we doing?

763
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 1: We're going to some best of or some network programming.

764
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: What's the plan. Do you know Brett yet?

765
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 3: So we got to get to eleven forty five to

766
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 3: get to Wolve's pregame. So we and I listen back

767
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 3: to some of Ben Gestling and some of Lavell. Okay,

768
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 3: you awesome on Friday.

769
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,399
Speaker 1: Fair enough, we were going to get to some wild

770
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: stuff in just a minute as I as I teased

771
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 1: before the top of the or break, But I do

772
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: want to pay off another tease, so to speak, in

773
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: that somebody very snarkily was listening to me listing the

774
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 1: the ten largest snowfalls in Twin Cities history and wanted

775
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:23,319
Speaker 1: to know whether the John Wooden Blizzard was on there

776
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: as well. It's a great callback to a bit of

777
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 1: what might really end up being nothing more than folklore

778
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: that it was a snowstorm that was the only thing

779
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:37,839
Speaker 1: that prevented the Wizard of Westwood, the man with an

780
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:43,439
Speaker 1: unmatched record of post season success men's basketball John Wood

781
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 1: in UCLA, from being a legend at the University of

782
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 1: Minnesota rather than at UCLA. And when Anesota passed along

783
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: the piece he wrote on this several years ago, attempting

784
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 1: to get to the bottom of whether the blizzard had

785
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:02,319
Speaker 1: anything to do with it. Let me read a couple

786
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: things from it because it's good background even now. Wouldn't

787
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: at the time was coaching at something called Indiana Teachers College.

788
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 1: Remember he was a Hoosier and he was a candidate

789
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:18,360
Speaker 1: for you also a candidate for Yes UCLA. Wouldn't and

790
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 1: his wife, Nelly were both from Indiana. She preferred to

791
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 1: stay in the Midwest, and it seemed because of that

792
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: that the Minnesota job was a better fit.

793
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 2: Wouldn't.

794
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 1: When Wooden was offered the Gofer job, there was a

795
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: catch the ad at the time. Frank McCormick asked, Wouldn't

796
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: if he would keep current head coach Dave McMillan as

797
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:43,240
Speaker 1: an assistant because McMillan was still under contract. Wouldn't wanted

798
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 1: to bring his own assistance, which really is the way

799
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: you're supposed to do it.

800
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 2: And it's what I'm guessing that was.

801
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 1: That was an early that was like a move that

802
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 1: preempted any of the pole ad cheap moves in this

803
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: case by somebody. I don't think this is there was

804
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: any pole Ad in this guy's blood. Anyway, McCormick was

805
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 1: unsure he could agree to that, not, you know, allowing

806
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 1: the current coach to stay on the staff, which is

807
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: apparently what he preferred. For one reason or another, salary's

808
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: being involved without getting approval from the U. So the

809
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,439
Speaker 1: two agreed that McCormick would seek permission and then call

810
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 1: Wouldn't back. But McCormick didn't call back by the agreed time.

811
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 2: Wouldn't.

812
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 1: At that point thinks Minnesota has changed their mind, so

813
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 1: he takes the job at UCLA. When McCormick finally did call,

814
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: Wooden said, too late, my friend, I've already come to

815
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 1: an agreement with UCLA. Could not go back on his word,

816
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 1: so we hire instead Osbourne. Ozzie calls cowls is the

817
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: next coach. Wouldn't of course, goes on to be the

818
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 1: greatest basketball coach in the history of college basketball. Who's

819
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:58,760
Speaker 1: at UCLA for twenty eight years. Look at that record

820
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 1: six point twenty and one one forty seven is team

821
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 1: won ten national championships, the most of any coach in

822
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 1: and see double A history. Second place is a coach

823
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: k At with five. So, as Minnesota writes, Minnesota hiring

824
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: Wooden could possibly have changed a lot of history as

825
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 1: well as the future of the basketball program. So why

826
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 1: did McCormick return the phone call. The story, as legend goes,

827
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:28,919
Speaker 1: is that a torrential snow storm had shut down phone

828
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 1: lines in Minneapolis and prevented McCormick from getting the call

829
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: through to Wooden. And as Minnesota notes, winners in Minnesota

830
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 1: are difficult. Only the hardiest can handle all the snow

831
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 1: and sub zero temperatures. So you want to believe, well,

832
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: with something like that an act of God that prevented

833
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 1: Wooden from coaching here. The problem is the blizzard part

834
00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:00,120
Speaker 1: of the story, when Anesota has concluded, is just not

835
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:06,799
Speaker 1: not accurate because there's just no i'm that period of

836
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 1: time Ineen in April nineteen forty eight, there is no

837
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 1: evidence that, in fact, there was any significant snow or

838
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 1: anything that might even be approximating a blizzard on April

839
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 1: or snowstorm even on April seventeen, nineteen forty eight. So

840
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: he has really the weather maps from April sixteen to twenty,

841
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 1: nineteen forty eight, and there's just nothing that indicated anything

842
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: significant was taking place there. So that's one of those

843
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 1: legends where you might want to believe it because again

844
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 1: it sounds better than the alternative, but there's really no

845
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 1: evidence that there was any blizzard, certainly any historic blizzard

846
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: that might have gotten in the way of that phone

847
00:49:55,040 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 1: call during any of that period of time. So and

848
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:03,279
Speaker 1: by the way, I think I believe Sid used to

849
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 1: propagate that myth too because it was convenient, it made

850
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: some sense that wouldn't be all that surprising either. And

851
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: I believe there was a story in the Daily Bruin

852
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 1: that got this thing sort of restarted several years ago,

853
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 1: and that's when Minnesota started doing some someome research into it.

854
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,799
Speaker 1: All right, So, Blake Moore your missile while lose to

855
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:27,919
Speaker 1: the Rangers yesterday? Was it four to two? I think

856
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: was the final score. I believe a bunch of fights

857
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:35,840
Speaker 1: in that game. And afterwards it seemed as if and

858
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:38,400
Speaker 1: you said, you went, I don't know if you attended

859
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 1: the Hines presser, but it certainly sounded like he was

860
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 1: not He was not willing to accept as okay, you

861
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: got ups and downs over the course of a season,

862
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 1: and just some good games and some bad games. It

863
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 1: sounds like his beef was start the game sooner. That's

864
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: that's what bugged him. That once the Wild got in gear,

865
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: they were having the best of the action, which of

866
00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 1: course in hockey doesn't always mean you win. We know that,

867
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 1: but that he's bugged that they started the game too late.

868
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:04,880
Speaker 1: Is that a fair representation.

869
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:06,479
Speaker 2: Yeah.

870
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:08,319
Speaker 3: I was listening to Hines on the way home as

871
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 3: we were inching inching along trying to get home, because

872
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 3: that was the kind of the start of the snow Namie.

873
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

874
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 3: He his thing was that, Okay, now it's two games.

875
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,800
Speaker 3: We had the one game against Philly where we didn't

876
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,319
Speaker 3: come out and play like we wanted to, but that

877
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 3: could have been a one off, you know what I mean.

878
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 3: He was still mad after that one, but it could

879
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 3: have been a one off. Now it's two Yeah, now

880
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 3: it's a problem. And uh and I don't want to,

881
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 3: you know, because the Timberwolves have bounced back. But this

882
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 3: is something US hockey guys love to say. We play,

883
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 3: we're tough, we play through anything. We'll get high sticked

884
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 3: in the mouth and play. They didn't come out. They

885
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 3: looked like it was a very Timberwolves five years ago

886
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 3: s performance where we already won the game, Like we

887
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 3: don't even have to show up in the first few

888
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 3: periods because we're we already have won just by looking

889
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 3: at the standings. Uh, and he there, you're right. When

890
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 3: they came out and the third and really turned up

891
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 3: the pressure. You could look at the shots and be

892
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 3: a box score reader and go, oh, they ran into

893
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:08,240
Speaker 3: a hot goalie. It was the shots are like forty

894
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 3: to fifteen or sixteen or something like that.

895
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 2: Well, you know, what can you do? They just didn't.

896
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 3: It looked like they were already in you know, we're

897
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 3: ready to just get home and play the leaves tomorrow

898
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 3: and try to They're thinking about getting home in the

899
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:25,399
Speaker 3: Snownomi maybe, but once the third started, they just couldn't.

900
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:27,399
Speaker 3: They had a bunch of shots, but they're all from

901
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 3: the outside. It wasn't a They weren't any like great

902
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 3: a huge opportunities until the very very end, where they

903
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:37,399
Speaker 3: had the Rangers netminder kind of scrambling a little bit.

904
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,399
Speaker 3: But yeah, and then I think the frustration took over

905
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 3: act at one point. I still haven't seen the all

906
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 3: twelve of whether or not it was the goaltenders problem

907
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:49,479
Speaker 3: for sticking out his leg or if ac was trying

908
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:51,319
Speaker 3: to stir the pot a little bit and stuck his

909
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 3: leg out, I don't know, but that really kicked the

910
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 3: hornet's nest. And that's where a lot of the brawling happened.

911
00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 3: So frustrating night for the while and a very disappointed

912
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:04,320
Speaker 3: first two periods and a half of the third period

913
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 3: for me.

914
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:08,880
Speaker 1: Well it was it follows dovetails nicely with the Hindsey

915
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:12,400
Speaker 1: quote from the previous game, the previous loss.

916
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 2: Winning is not inevitable. And I love that quote.

917
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if he stole it from somebody or

918
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 1: just off the cuff, and it sounds sort of like

919
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 1: a cliche, but it's a good one, I think, because

920
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:27,879
Speaker 1: I think it's a warning of and this applies to

921
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:33,320
Speaker 1: any team really that starts thinking that we're good enough

922
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 1: to just sort of we can win a lot of

923
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:38,440
Speaker 1: different ways. It's inevitable we're going to win. And his

924
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 1: point is winning is only inevitable for any team if

925
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 1: they go about their business the way that has over

926
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 1: a period of time shown them to get them to

927
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:54,479
Speaker 1: that success. Right, that's the key, And Garan talked about

928
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 1: this on TV with Us on Friday, that we have

929
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 1: a style we play and this is again true of

930
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 1: any team that does well. Is you figure out what's

931
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 1: the way, what are the five things you have to

932
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 1: do to win on average? And if you stray from

933
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 1: that and say we don't really today need to do

934
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 1: two of those things. Chances are it's gonna be in

935
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 1: the butt. And there's also we do have to remember this,

936
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: there is another team, okay, and sometimes the other team

937
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: has something to do with knocking you off of your

938
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:25,839
Speaker 1: path as well.

939
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 2: That's why nobody goes eighty two and zero, right. I mean,

940
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:29,719
Speaker 2: you can be a.

941
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 1: Very good team and lose thirty times, right, So I

942
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 1: think that's all that needs to be put in the hopper.

943
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 2: But the winning is not inevitable.

944
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 1: Is the shot across the bow that I think he

945
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 1: was trying to send after the last loss, which is,

946
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 1: if we don't follow our formula, we're going to have difficulty.

947
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:51,359
Speaker 1: And frankly, I think one of their formulas has been

948
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 1: better starts, and they did not have much of that

949
00:54:55,160 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 1: against the against the Rangers. Yeah, the extra curricular stuff,

950
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's frustration.

951
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 2: I I get bored with that, as you know. I

952
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:06,240
Speaker 2: just I don't.

953
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 1: It does nothing for me, and I don't even think

954
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:12,319
Speaker 1: it really accomplishes all that that much, whether you're doing

955
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:13,719
Speaker 1: it in a game or in the case of the

956
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 1: Walls the other day, they were doing it after they

957
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 1: got spanked by the Clippers. I'm not exactly sure. But

958
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 1: when do we play next? By the way, we offer

959
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 1: a while, what's our next the Wild's next game? Do

960
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:24,360
Speaker 1: you know?

961
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 3: Well, for now, it's today against the lead, assuming it's

962
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:33,360
Speaker 3: still the case. But I've not heard any that we

963
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 3: should shore last. Yeah I haven't either. Yeah, it's worth Yeah,

964
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:39,240
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's I'm assuming it's going to happen.

965
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 2: That's a Matt and affair. No, it's a five o'clock.

966
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 3: Al Russo did tweet fourteen minutes ago the Leafs have arrived,

967
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 3: game on, game on, game should be go and it's

968
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:52,279
Speaker 3: a five o'clock six th.

969
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 1: Well, then was that the original time? I thought it

970
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:57,840
Speaker 1: was early? Did they move it back or was it

971
00:55:57,880 --> 00:55:58,719
Speaker 1: always at that time?

972
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:02,919
Speaker 3: Maybe it was, Well it's a national game, so maybe

973
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,279
Speaker 3: there was some tom foolery going on there. But yeah,

974
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 3: so it seems like they're going to be playing interesting. Okay,

975
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 3: so god speed to anyone trying to get out there.

976
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. Well, we'll see, how you know.

977
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be one of those days where

978
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:15,759
Speaker 1: it sort of depends on where you are, and it's

979
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 1: gonna There's still some waves of this I believe will

980
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:21,319
Speaker 1: be part of the process as well.

981
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:23,920
Speaker 2: I do want to get to some wolf stuff.

982
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 1: I got a lot of good text continuing to come

983
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:30,839
Speaker 1: in Ratchewn Brian Cafe in text line is six four

984
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:36,480
Speaker 1: six eighty six, and some Vikings conversation to get to

985
00:56:36,520 --> 00:57:04,279
Speaker 1: as well. In our final forty five minutes stake, I

986
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:08,000
Speaker 1: learned a lesson the hard way a Friday night. We

987
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 1: don't need to spend a lot of time on this,

988
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 1: but I am curious to get some opinions feedback from

989
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 1: the roobs brat Sean Brian Caffe in text line six

990
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 1: four six eight six. I usually have the teeth in

991
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 1: the glass pretty early, so it's not often that around

992
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 1: ten o'clock at night I'm out and about and in

993
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 1: this case, I realized we're out of water. So I'm

994
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 1: on my way home and I'm just trying to get

995
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:38,840
Speaker 1: you know, because I'm a bottled water guy. I'm one

996
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: of those foo fu guys. Don't have to be fancy,

997
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 1: but that's what I tend to do. And my first

998
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:54,920
Speaker 1: stop is going to be Target, and this is a

999
00:57:55,080 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 1: Friday night close to tent Okay, I try I cub

1000
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 1: closed at tent I said, well, okay, Well then what

1001
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,640
Speaker 1: I'll do is I'll go to like some of those

1002
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 1: convenience stores, you know, Super America kind of thing. I mean,

1003
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 1: they never closed right, And the first one of those,

1004
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:18,320
Speaker 1: and I don't know if it was Super America or

1005
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:23,200
Speaker 1: a holiday, they were closed at ten o'clock on a

1006
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 1: Friday night. I eventually found another Super America style place

1007
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:32,760
Speaker 1: that was open. But is that the norm now? Is

1008
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 1: that just the way? Is that post COVID, where you know,

1009
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:40,880
Speaker 1: hours changed for so many places, and maybe difficulties getting

1010
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 1: people to work combination of things.

1011
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1012
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 1: I was shocked in a major metropolitan area that everything

1013
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:52,600
Speaker 1: on a Friday night in terms of stores, supermarkets, et cetera,

1014
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 1: seemed closed at ten o'clock. I don't remember it always

1015
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 1: being that way. But again, I often have the teeth

1016
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 1: in the glass. It's not so something. This might be

1017
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 1: old news to most of you, but it ends up

1018
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 1: being a revelation to me. Any infot would be much appreciated.

1019
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 1: By the way on the John Wooden blizzard myth. The

1020
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 1: other thing I forgot to mention in the Minnesota story

1021
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:22,160
Speaker 1: was for the days in question that the Daily Bruin

1022
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 1: was that that was the publication that sort of restarted

1023
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 1: that notion.

1024
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 2: That that's why.

1025
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 1: Didn't end up going to Minnesota was that the ad

1026
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 1: at the U couldn't get the call through because of

1027
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 1: a blizzard. Not only was there no blizzard for that

1028
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:46,720
Speaker 1: four day stretch, the lows were in the upper thirties

1029
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:52,120
Speaker 1: and the highs were over seventy, which I think, given

1030
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:55,960
Speaker 1: our current backdrop, was rather interesting as.

1031
00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 2: As well. This is from Sue.

1032
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:05,120
Speaker 1: My husband just came in inside after snowblalling our driveway

1033
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn Center. He's been out every three hours trying

1034
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 1: to stay ahead of the storm. He said, the snow

1035
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 1: is heavy and wet, so it's challenging to move right now,

1036
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:12,280
Speaker 1: and the wind is no fun. No total reports. Since

1037
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 1: he's been moving it around. I have gotten several of

1038
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 1: those reports. It's that it's a wet snow. I don't

1039
01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:21,520
Speaker 1: I and that they always say is the is the

1040
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:24,960
Speaker 1: most challenging snow to shovel and potentially the most dangerous snow.

1041
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 2: To shovel. A few people.

1042
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:37,720
Speaker 1: Have have said that as as well. Dan running a

1043
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 1: twelve miler today on the treadmill training for Ironman, Texas

1044
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:43,160
Speaker 1: on April eighteenth, Thanks for the broadcast today.

1045
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 2: That's Scott in Fargo.

1046
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:48,040
Speaker 1: One of my coworkers said that snowstorm might have been

1047
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 1: the best thing to ever happen to John Wooden. Well,

1048
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 1: that's the other way to look at it is would

1049
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: he have even been as successful here, as legendary as

1050
01:00:57,360 --> 01:01:00,440
Speaker 1: he was then, or is the assumption that, guess what,

1051
01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 1: we'd find a way to screw things up for him,

1052
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 1: he would not have much of a chance to anywhere

1053
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 1: near as successful.

1054
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:10,680
Speaker 2: Dan.

1055
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:13,440
Speaker 1: What everyone fails to recognize is that if Wooden came

1056
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 1: to Minnesota, his bag man would have for sure been

1057
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 1: reported to the Ena by some over zealous regent that

1058
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 1: was also.

1059
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 2: Very, very well played. It may well be true.

1060
01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 1: So we're all trying to figure out the Kyler Murray

1061
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 1: era right and where this might be headed. And at

1062
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,720
Speaker 1: some point we're past the debate point of whether he's

1063
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 1: the answer or whether he should have been the answer,

1064
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:44,320
Speaker 1: because now he's here. I guess the only question now

1065
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:50,240
Speaker 1: is whether they're going to try to get another veteran quarterback. Yeah,

1066
01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 1: it's interesting because you can argue part of the reason

1067
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:57,760
Speaker 1: case Keenum has been able to establish a second, actually

1068
01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:00,000
Speaker 1: maybe a third life in the NFL with the Bears

1069
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:04,080
Speaker 1: just sign another two year contract. Is that the Bears

1070
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 1: have no intention of him playing at this point or

1071
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:10,320
Speaker 1: asking him to play, But he apparently has become one

1072
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:13,280
Speaker 1: of those guys like Chase Daniel, who is just viewed

1073
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 1: as being helpful to everybody else in the quarterback room.

1074
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:24,520
Speaker 1: And guess what if your goal is not just to

1075
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 1: get something out of Kyler Murray, but to not give

1076
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:34,680
Speaker 1: up on JJ McCarthy, you probably want another veteran quarterback,

1077
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 1: right who maybe whose number one job is to babysit

1078
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:40,280
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy. And I don't even mean that as a rip.

1079
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 1: I would say that about any quarterback because basically the

1080
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:51,720
Speaker 1: keenom job is to babysit Caleb Williams and apparently they

1081
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 1: got a good vibe. So maybe that's what you end

1082
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:58,400
Speaker 1: up doing, is trying to add another one of those individuals.

1083
01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:00,280
Speaker 1: I don't know who would be out there who fit

1084
01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 1: that bill, but there's something to be said about it.

1085
01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 1: One of the tentacles of the story that is not

1086
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 1: going to go away regarding Kyler. Whether you're on the

1087
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:16,120
Speaker 1: side that you're in love with this move or on

1088
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:19,000
Speaker 1: the side that's a bit more skeptical of the move

1089
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 1: as well. Here's what struck me. This is a combo

1090
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:31,880
Speaker 1: platter start to mute dot COM's story that attempts to uh, well,

1091
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 1: in this case, I think this is an Andrew Kramer story.

1092
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 2: Let me double check. Yeah, I think this is his.

1093
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:42,960
Speaker 1: And he's talking about, what, you know, the fit between

1094
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:47,920
Speaker 1: the Vikings offense, the KOC offense, and Kyler Murray. I

1095
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:49,840
Speaker 1: want me read one section of it because I thought

1096
01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:52,880
Speaker 1: this was very telling, and it's a it's a it's

1097
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:55,600
Speaker 1: an important reminder. It's not going to be the last

1098
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:58,160
Speaker 1: time we talk about this, nor should it be. How

1099
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:01,080
Speaker 1: does he attempts to answer that question, how does Kyler

1100
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 1: Murray fit in Kevin O'Connell's system, And he breaks it

1101
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:07,960
Speaker 1: down in a number of classifications, including play action. Not

1102
01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 1: all play action is the same, he writes, a seven

1103
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:13,600
Speaker 1: step drop from under center is different from an under

1104
01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:17,480
Speaker 1: center rollout or that from shotgun or pistol distances. They

1105
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:22,080
Speaker 1: require different footwork and lend to differing preferences among qbs.

1106
01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:26,120
Speaker 1: That said, Kyler Murray's preference is clearly not under center.

1107
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:29,600
Speaker 1: He's been an effective play action passer from the shotgun

1108
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:35,200
Speaker 1: and pistol formation, which account for three thousand eighty of

1109
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 1: his three thousand, three hundred and forty two dropbacks in

1110
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 1: the NFL or ninety two point two percent per Sports

1111
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:50,680
Speaker 1: Info Solutions. This would require a shift from Koc Cousins

1112
01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:54,720
Speaker 1: led the NFL in under center dropbacks in twenty twenty two,

1113
01:04:55,480 --> 01:05:00,800
Speaker 1: and Sam Darnold ranks second in twenty twenty four. That's key,

1114
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:04,400
Speaker 1: and it's, to be honest with you, it's still part

1115
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:09,640
Speaker 1: of what bugs me about this signing. I don't I've

1116
01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:15,240
Speaker 1: it's been drilled into me forever that if you want

1117
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:17,360
Speaker 1: to grow up and be a National Football League quarterback,

1118
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:20,920
Speaker 1: you have to play under center, or you have to

1119
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:24,280
Speaker 1: be able to play under center a lot, not just

1120
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:31,960
Speaker 1: eight percent of the time, but more like well seventy

1121
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:37,160
Speaker 1: eighty percent of the time, maybe more, for a myriad

1122
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:43,960
Speaker 1: reasons that all the football offensive geniuses point out. And

1123
01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:47,439
Speaker 1: so I scratch my head and I'm going, well, he's

1124
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:49,360
Speaker 1: been in the league, this will be his eighth year.

1125
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 1: This should have been conquered already, no matter what his

1126
01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:59,520
Speaker 1: comfort level is, if you buy what the same coaches say,

1127
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:05,880
Speaker 1: and that is all sorts of sophisticated reasons in terms

1128
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 1: of what we can do and the options we have

1129
01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:11,040
Speaker 1: and what it does to the defense. You have to

1130
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:17,440
Speaker 1: have a quarterback who, yes, can be under center and

1131
01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:21,600
Speaker 1: turn his head and then come back once he's dropped back.

1132
01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:23,240
Speaker 2: And look then look downfield.

1133
01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:26,520
Speaker 1: The notion that, well, we only trust him if he's

1134
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:29,160
Speaker 1: able to survey from the moment the ball is hiked

1135
01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 1: or even as he sets up in the shotgun. That's

1136
01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:34,880
Speaker 1: supposed to be college football, and some teams have had success,

1137
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:36,280
Speaker 1: and there's a place for I'm not saying there's not

1138
01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:40,480
Speaker 1: a place for shotgun, but that's still what bothers me is.

1139
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:45,320
Speaker 1: If you tell me the best offenses often go under center.

1140
01:06:47,760 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 1: If you want to have the most sophisticated passing games,

1141
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:54,880
Speaker 1: for example, most successful, then what you know, why should

1142
01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:57,200
Speaker 1: that not have already been conquered other than he's not

1143
01:06:57,440 --> 01:06:59,480
Speaker 1: very good at it or not good enough at it.

1144
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:03,200
Speaker 1: The coaches felt comfortable enough to insist that no, we

1145
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 1: need more of a steady diet of it. And somebody

1146
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:08,400
Speaker 1: had said, well, don't forget Donald was in the shotgun

1147
01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:13,240
Speaker 1: a lot. Well, if if Donald, if these stats are true,

1148
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:17,880
Speaker 1: and Donald ranked second under the Vikings in twenty twenty

1149
01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:22,320
Speaker 1: four under koc and under center dropbacks that year. That

1150
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 1: sounds like he was definitely under center dominant, and I

1151
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:32,680
Speaker 1: like to think that's a sacrifice you shouldn't not have

1152
01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:36,280
Speaker 1: to make. He really that's a concession you should not

1153
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:40,200
Speaker 1: have to make, especially when the quarterback isn't in his

1154
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:43,080
Speaker 1: first or second year, just coming out of college, but

1155
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:46,040
Speaker 1: has already played eight years or seven years. I think

1156
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:49,000
Speaker 1: this will be his eighth year coming up, so we'll

1157
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:51,400
Speaker 1: see where that goes. But I think we've talked. We

1158
01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:53,040
Speaker 1: talked a little bit about that last week, but I

1159
01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:56,960
Speaker 1: didn't have all those numbers that Kramer provided, and I

1160
01:07:57,000 --> 01:08:00,160
Speaker 1: think it's it's that's why it's worth revisiting and will

1161
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:01,320
Speaker 1: continue to be a discussion.

1162
01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:01,560
Speaker 2: Now.

1163
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:05,680
Speaker 1: I mean, does that mean if you're gonna go ahead

1164
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:08,880
Speaker 1: and still sign him, knowing what you know, that you're

1165
01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:13,480
Speaker 1: willing to make the concession because it's the old are

1166
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:15,880
Speaker 1: you going to be able to really change him eight

1167
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:20,640
Speaker 1: years into his career on such a significant issue. I

1168
01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:23,960
Speaker 1: would say I would not have signed him. I've already

1169
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:26,240
Speaker 1: made that clear. But if you're going to sign him,

1170
01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:30,559
Speaker 1: I guess you're almost obligated to adjust significantly on what

1171
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:33,920
Speaker 1: you expect and what you're looking for from under center.

1172
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:38,599
Speaker 1: If it's something he's done as rarely as he has

1173
01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:44,360
Speaker 1: done so guards, he is a great broadcaster. Kyler is faster,

1174
01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:50,360
Speaker 1: Twins are a disaster. Wolves and five Jared from Saint

1175
01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 1: Charles been moving snow all morning, getting kind of hungry.

1176
01:08:54,479 --> 01:09:14,920
Speaker 1: Could I order some koc words south If we cut

1177
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:19,479
Speaker 1: through all of the endless analysis that each of us

1178
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:25,240
Speaker 1: does every single day on in this case, the Minnesota Timberwolves,

1179
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 1: you could put I think pretty close to ninety five

1180
01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:38,360
Speaker 1: percent of it aside and reduce it to a single

1181
01:09:39,320 --> 01:09:46,320
Speaker 1: bit of did I use the word truth, certainly tendency.

1182
01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:53,680
Speaker 1: If Julius Randall doesn't get right, this team will not

1183
01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:57,080
Speaker 1: make it back to the conference finals. They'll have no chance,

1184
01:09:57,880 --> 01:10:03,280
Speaker 1: regardless of what else they get from other people off

1185
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:07,240
Speaker 1: the bench. Whether Desumu can be the viable guy that

1186
01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:12,720
Speaker 1: a lot of us think he is the longer he

1187
01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:19,439
Speaker 1: stays with the team, Randall is in a big time funk.

1188
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:22,760
Speaker 1: And of course the Wolves, right here on the fan

1189
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:26,320
Speaker 1: have a day game. I believe it's a noon game

1190
01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:30,840
Speaker 1: against Oklahoma City. It's the first national TV game of

1191
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:35,479
Speaker 1: the day, we'll have the Wolves in Okay, Okay see

1192
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:37,679
Speaker 1: on the fan, and then we'll have the Minnesota Wild

1193
01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:41,639
Speaker 1: on the fan later in the evening as well.

1194
01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:46,360
Speaker 2: Let me give you go Bear's game log for the

1195
01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:49,639
Speaker 2: last several games. Now. The last one we won, although

1196
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:50,880
Speaker 2: was still way too.

1197
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:54,120
Speaker 1: Much of a struggle against Golden State, whereas had nobody playing,

1198
01:10:54,479 --> 01:11:03,120
Speaker 1: including day Day and Steph. Randall finishes with ten points,

1199
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:09,240
Speaker 1: four rebounds, and four turnovers in twenty seven minutes, and

1200
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:13,519
Speaker 1: most notably, did not return to the game in the

1201
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:18,240
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, at the point where the starters generally do.

1202
01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:23,160
Speaker 1: He remained on the bench the last nine minutes of

1203
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:26,439
Speaker 1: that game, and it was not due to injury. So

1204
01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:29,840
Speaker 1: the plat dickens there that may finally be Finchy, saying,

1205
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:33,479
Speaker 1: as much as he's been in Julius Randall's corner, we

1206
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:36,599
Speaker 1: might have to start making some adjustments if things aren't

1207
01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:39,120
Speaker 1: going well with a particular player, even with a particular

1208
01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:43,760
Speaker 1: main player. The game before that, the twenty five point

1209
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:47,400
Speaker 1: loss to the Clippers twenty eight minutes, three for ten

1210
01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:53,920
Speaker 1: from the floor, six rebounds, four assists, four turnovers, eleven points.

1211
01:11:54,760 --> 01:12:00,240
Speaker 1: The loss to the Lakers twenty six minutes fourteen points, pints,

1212
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:05,839
Speaker 1: seven rebounds to assist, two turnovers. Game before that against

1213
01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:11,360
Speaker 1: Orlando twenty six minutes fourteen points, nine rebounds, four turnovers.

1214
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:14,200
Speaker 1: I mean, look at his turnover total for the last

1215
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:17,720
Speaker 1: one two, three, four, five six seven games.

1216
01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:20,679
Speaker 2: Four four two, four, two.

1217
01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:25,800
Speaker 1: Five and three. That's not near the efficient enough. His

1218
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:29,800
Speaker 1: scoring for the month, he's shooting forty two point nine

1219
01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:31,120
Speaker 1: percent from the floor.

1220
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:32,960
Speaker 2: That's not gonna work.

1221
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:40,640
Speaker 1: He's shooting fourteen point three percent from three from the

1222
01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:44,720
Speaker 1: floor in the month of March as well, and he's

1223
01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:48,200
Speaker 1: averaging three and to have turnovers in the month of March.

1224
01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:49,639
Speaker 2: So remember a.

1225
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:54,880
Speaker 1: Year ago, he'd been hurt, came back refreshed and looked

1226
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:58,479
Speaker 1: like a different player, talked about how, all right, I'm

1227
01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:00,320
Speaker 1: gonna do this differently. I'm not going to worry as

1228
01:13:00,400 --> 01:13:03,960
Speaker 1: much about scoring. I'm just going to facilitate. And he

1229
01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:07,719
Speaker 1: was a revelation until he wasn't. The finish against Okac

1230
01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:12,680
Speaker 1: was a mess. But up until then, he'd been extremely

1231
01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:17,559
Speaker 1: effective as a player. And he is their second best player,

1232
01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:21,439
Speaker 1: and if he's their second best player, he's got to

1233
01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:23,639
Speaker 1: be better than he is right now. You can argue

1234
01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:28,240
Speaker 1: that in general, he's not consistent enough on a great

1235
01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:32,080
Speaker 1: team to be the second best player. But the reality

1236
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:33,639
Speaker 1: is that's what he's got to be right now because

1237
01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:37,559
Speaker 1: there ain't no other options, so he has to give

1238
01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:41,720
Speaker 1: more than he's giving. Even if you're not convinced long term,

1239
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:45,880
Speaker 1: he's the answer as your second best guy. That's the story,

1240
01:13:45,920 --> 01:13:47,839
Speaker 1: and it'll be the story worth watching today.

1241
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:48,160
Speaker 2: Now.

1242
01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:50,679
Speaker 1: Again, the Wolves, being as weird as they are, they'll

1243
01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:56,000
Speaker 1: probably come out like they're ready to sweep Oka. See

1244
01:13:56,040 --> 01:13:59,800
Speaker 1: in the postseason. They'll bounce back, that's what they often do.

1245
01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:02,800
Speaker 1: But this is a good test in that regard, and

1246
01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:05,439
Speaker 1: maybe this is the kind of opponent he needs to

1247
01:14:05,439 --> 01:14:08,200
Speaker 1: get more focused. On the other hand, might he be

1248
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:12,280
Speaker 1: in poute mode. He's capable of that because of the

1249
01:14:12,320 --> 01:14:14,639
Speaker 1: decision by the head coach to not bring him back

1250
01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:16,800
Speaker 1: into the game at all in the fourth quarter of

1251
01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:19,439
Speaker 1: a game that the Wolves still had not put away.

1252
01:14:20,960 --> 01:14:27,599
Speaker 1: Did not go with him. So Julius Randall not available

1253
01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:28,479
Speaker 1: for duty today.

1254
01:14:28,560 --> 01:14:29,080
Speaker 2: Is he injured?

1255
01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:33,800
Speaker 3: No, But Johnny Athletic tweets a couple of minutes ago

1256
01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:36,920
Speaker 3: Anthony Edwards game time decision, So it might be a

1257
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:38,879
Speaker 3: game where it might need Julius.

1258
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:41,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. If ant's not playing, we're gonna need him.

1259
01:14:41,920 --> 01:14:44,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, he had and this is not I think this

1260
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:47,559
Speaker 1: is his knee, isn't it that he's had that chronic

1261
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:50,000
Speaker 1: foot thing, But I think more recently it's been the knee.

1262
01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:52,400
Speaker 1: My guess is he'll play, But I guess you never know.

1263
01:14:52,439 --> 01:14:52,800
Speaker 2: I guess you.

1264
01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:56,439
Speaker 1: For the record, it's worth mentioning h for sure, so

1265
01:14:56,520 --> 01:15:00,439
Speaker 1: we will indeed see how that how that play. And

1266
01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:02,040
Speaker 1: by the way, for the record, as far as you know,

1267
01:15:02,200 --> 01:15:05,160
Speaker 1: far as information we have, the wild game is on

1268
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:09,120
Speaker 1: for tonight. Nothing has changed there at the X correct

1269
01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:09,960
Speaker 1: six thirty.

1270
01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:12,320
Speaker 3: Did you say that's that's what I see? Okay, Yeah,

1271
01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:14,080
Speaker 3: so the maple Leafs have made it into town.

1272
01:15:14,120 --> 01:15:15,519
Speaker 2: They have made it. They're going to play the game

1273
01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:17,960
Speaker 2: tonight one way or another. Yeah, that's that's very true.

1274
01:15:18,320 --> 01:15:20,840
Speaker 1: Somebody's texting, well, Julius, see it seems like the trade

1275
01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:23,800
Speaker 1: rooms really affected as play. Well, you know, we hear

1276
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:30,240
Speaker 1: that that excuse given that's the life if you're Julius Randall.

1277
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:35,080
Speaker 1: Julius Randall is a good player, but there are several

1278
01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:38,559
Speaker 1: there's a reason he's been dealt a few times right there,

1279
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:41,840
Speaker 1: have been some challenges with him in terms of, you know,

1280
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:45,000
Speaker 1: paying off on what he's got, which is a lot

1281
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:48,840
Speaker 1: of talent. So again, I would think by this point

1282
01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:52,479
Speaker 1: he'd be kind of accustomed to it. And we're way

1283
01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:58,000
Speaker 1: past the deadline now, right, I mean way past it.

1284
01:15:58,280 --> 01:16:02,479
Speaker 1: So I don't think that explains what's happening in March.

1285
01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:05,080
Speaker 1: One of the interesting questions that's been raised nationally, which

1286
01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:07,000
Speaker 1: I want to talk about with Johnny tomorrow. Johnny, by

1287
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:12,000
Speaker 1: the way, is in Oki City, okay, see, is the

1288
01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:16,760
Speaker 1: suggestion that would it be helpful for the Wolves to

1289
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:23,479
Speaker 1: make a lineup change. Would it make more sense to

1290
01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:30,880
Speaker 1: start Io Desumu and have the Vincenzo once again play

1291
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:37,799
Speaker 1: off of the bench. It's worth mulling over. It appeals

1292
01:16:37,880 --> 01:16:42,599
Speaker 1: to me in some ways, to be honest, I still

1293
01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:46,719
Speaker 1: worry about ball handling with this team now. I haven't

1294
01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:52,240
Speaker 1: checked Desumu's turnover numbers. I don't think they're real high.

1295
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:55,559
Speaker 1: But it's the ongoing issue of asking Edwards to do

1296
01:16:55,640 --> 01:16:58,400
Speaker 1: so much as the scoring guard and the point guard

1297
01:16:58,479 --> 01:17:01,639
Speaker 1: and guard the other team's best runner player, et cetera. Well, actually,

1298
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:06,000
Speaker 1: I guess a lot of times he's not in a

1299
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:08,679
Speaker 1: position where he has to take the other teams necessarily

1300
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:10,880
Speaker 1: the other team's best player. But you get my point

1301
01:17:11,400 --> 01:17:14,400
Speaker 1: wing player because we've got We've got other people who

1302
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:18,920
Speaker 1: are are capable, including Jade, and capable of doing that

1303
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:22,160
Speaker 1: and often do. But I want to think about that

1304
01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:26,599
Speaker 1: a little bit. Is that something I don't think it's

1305
01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:29,120
Speaker 1: too late to do it. There's still enough games.

1306
01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:32,559
Speaker 2: To do it. Desumo when when when the.

1307
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:35,680
Speaker 1: Scotty report on him from our guy Joe Colly out

1308
01:17:35,680 --> 01:17:39,559
Speaker 1: of Chicago, who's covered in Forever is really good player,

1309
01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:42,960
Speaker 1: but not in his opinion, a full time point guard,

1310
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:45,800
Speaker 1: but he did think he could handle it enough to

1311
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:46,759
Speaker 1: wear in a pinch.

1312
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:47,479
Speaker 2: He could do it.

1313
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:50,599
Speaker 1: And if Mike Conley is going to not be a factor,

1314
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:53,240
Speaker 1: and certainly appears right now he's not in the rotation,

1315
01:17:54,080 --> 01:17:56,320
Speaker 1: then I'm wondering if that's something you consider now. Ultimately

1316
01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:59,200
Speaker 1: to say, where we overstating the importance of starting, isn't

1317
01:17:59,200 --> 01:17:59,439
Speaker 1: it more?

1318
01:17:59,479 --> 01:18:01,120
Speaker 2: Who's going to finish the game?

1319
01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:04,760
Speaker 1: And my guess is Desumer must have finished it if

1320
01:18:04,880 --> 01:18:08,320
Speaker 1: Julius Randall didn't. Although I don't remember the configuration at

1321
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:11,000
Speaker 1: the end of that game. Uh, it's something to run

1322
01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:16,439
Speaker 1: by Johnny tomorrow. I think I think it'd be worth discussing,

1323
01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:18,320
Speaker 1: and we'll be able to review whatever the Wolves do

1324
01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:20,880
Speaker 1: with OKC and then get his view on a number

1325
01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:25,479
Speaker 1: of things as as well. Hasn't Randal been in this

1326
01:18:25,479 --> 01:18:27,519
Speaker 1: funk ever since he was linked to the Yiannis trace?

1327
01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:28,680
Speaker 2: Somebody else talking about that?

1328
01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:33,640
Speaker 1: Well, again, Julius has been in many funks over the

1329
01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:35,880
Speaker 1: course of his career. That's why I'm not quite ready

1330
01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:39,479
Speaker 1: to buy the alibi that it's directly related to the

1331
01:18:39,520 --> 01:18:43,439
Speaker 1: trade rumors. And I mean, I I throw something else

1332
01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:48,360
Speaker 1: into the mix. If you're in a trade rumor because

1333
01:18:48,360 --> 01:18:52,640
Speaker 1: the Wolves have interested have interested in Giannis, it's not

1334
01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:57,879
Speaker 1: that's not exactly saying you're a bad player. That's saying

1335
01:18:58,240 --> 01:19:01,240
Speaker 1: you would be a tool in helping the Wolves get

1336
01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:04,720
Speaker 1: one of the top two or three players in basketball.

1337
01:19:04,880 --> 01:19:07,040
Speaker 1: So I I, you know, I don't know how far

1338
01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:09,160
Speaker 1: that goes. I know they're human, I know that stuff.

1339
01:19:09,240 --> 01:19:11,080
Speaker 1: You know, we can't forget that no matter how much

1340
01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:13,679
Speaker 1: money they make, they can be affected by those kinds

1341
01:19:13,720 --> 01:19:14,639
Speaker 1: of day to day things.

1342
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:21,639
Speaker 2: I just I don't know. I don't think that's particularly likely.

1343
01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:30,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I felt like with SloMo coming in and Desumu

1344
01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:33,000
Speaker 1: here that they had the makings of a real bench.

1345
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:35,960
Speaker 1: They still do, but it's still got to be configured.

1346
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:38,320
Speaker 1: It's still got to get into a rhythm. I think

1347
01:19:38,360 --> 01:19:41,639
Speaker 1: Slomo's got to get into one. Iow has had good moments,

1348
01:19:41,680 --> 01:19:44,080
Speaker 1: but I think he's got to get into more of

1349
01:19:44,080 --> 01:19:46,240
Speaker 1: one as well. And you know, the other X factor

1350
01:19:46,280 --> 01:19:52,280
Speaker 1: is bones because he's I have to give him props.

1351
01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:54,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he's been more of a factor that I

1352
01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:57,320
Speaker 1: thought he ever could. But he's still a guy who

1353
01:19:57,400 --> 01:19:59,880
Speaker 1: gained a game. You feel like some games he's the

1354
01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:01,760
Speaker 1: air in some games, and I'm not. I don't think

1355
01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:05,400
Speaker 1: that's effort. I just think he's probably not good enough

1356
01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:08,040
Speaker 1: to be a guy that you know better players. We

1357
01:20:08,240 --> 01:20:11,360
Speaker 1: always want to assume it's it's if they're not as good,

1358
01:20:12,120 --> 01:20:15,880
Speaker 1: it must be effort. Well, no, it some is not effort.

1359
01:20:15,920 --> 01:20:17,920
Speaker 1: Some of it is. They're just not there's a reason

1360
01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:20,920
Speaker 1: they're bench players. There's a reason they've moved around the league.

1361
01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:23,280
Speaker 1: They're just not as good. And what makes not as

1362
01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:27,760
Speaker 1: good lack of consistency. One day, it's going for you

1363
01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:29,880
Speaker 1: the next two days or next two games.

1364
01:20:29,880 --> 01:20:30,360
Speaker 2: It isn't.

1365
01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:33,360
Speaker 1: That's not always we want to make everything effort. It's

1366
01:20:33,400 --> 01:20:37,000
Speaker 1: not always effort, it's some of it's just ability, and

1367
01:20:37,439 --> 01:20:39,120
Speaker 1: you know what you're able to carve out.

1368
01:20:39,240 --> 01:20:41,000
Speaker 2: I think, in fact, a great deal of it is

1369
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:43,759
Speaker 2: that the plan.

1370
01:20:43,960 --> 01:20:45,960
Speaker 1: Also, let me see if I get any more snonami

1371
01:20:47,320 --> 01:20:52,439
Speaker 1: uh texts in here before we're done. Uh. This is

1372
01:20:52,520 --> 01:20:56,120
Speaker 1: Larry checking in from Georgia. I know it's only the

1373
01:20:56,200 --> 01:20:58,160
Speaker 1: only the measuring stick, the only measuring stick we have,

1374
01:20:58,160 --> 01:21:00,200
Speaker 1: but ross snowfall falta is a always corey to a

1375
01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:03,000
Speaker 1: storm's impact. Born and raised in southwest Minnesota, many of

1376
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:05,200
Speaker 1: the worst storms I saw were likely four to six inches,

1377
01:21:05,240 --> 01:21:08,439
Speaker 1: with blizzard conditions, forming drifts seven feet high and making

1378
01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:09,360
Speaker 1: roads impassable.

1379
01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:10,880
Speaker 2: Every storm is unique.

1380
01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:13,640
Speaker 1: There's some truth to that, because we just had how

1381
01:21:13,680 --> 01:21:15,599
Speaker 1: many was it a couple of weeks ago blake? Where

1382
01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:20,080
Speaker 1: we just had a badly timed snowfall that wasn't enormous

1383
01:21:20,120 --> 01:21:22,560
Speaker 1: in the number of inches of snow that fell, but

1384
01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:26,120
Speaker 1: paralyzed us from a transportation standpoint.

1385
01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:28,280
Speaker 2: What day was that? Oh? That was the day. That

1386
01:21:28,320 --> 01:21:29,960
Speaker 2: was a day? Yeah you could, yeah you got you

1387
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:30,599
Speaker 2: got tied up.

1388
01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:35,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, a couple of weeks ago was a Friday, But yeah, yeah,

1389
01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:39,280
Speaker 3: but it basically hit right as rush hours started, so

1390
01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:41,880
Speaker 3: correct plows couldn't get out to the highways.

1391
01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:44,519
Speaker 2: And it just it was a complete bottleneck and l Yeah,

1392
01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:47,280
Speaker 2: so there's some truth to that part too.

1393
01:21:47,479 --> 01:21:51,599
Speaker 1: But part of what we're all sort of wired for

1394
01:21:51,800 --> 01:21:54,400
Speaker 1: is all right, we've been told this is what is expected,

1395
01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:59,880
Speaker 1: and look, we had the it's a sound bite from

1396
01:21:59,880 --> 01:22:04,120
Speaker 1: the a very quirky Nicholas Cage motion Pischer called The Weatherman,

1397
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:06,880
Speaker 1: in which he kind of admits he says, you know,

1398
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:09,160
Speaker 1: I can't predict it. It's just win. It's win, and

1399
01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:11,960
Speaker 1: it blows all over the place. There's still days even

1400
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:14,680
Speaker 1: with the sophisticated equipment. I think we find out there

1401
01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:16,400
Speaker 1: might be some truth to that that you take your

1402
01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:19,519
Speaker 1: best educated guess at it, but you can't know. The

1403
01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:24,559
Speaker 1: issue I have is the language that is used and

1404
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:28,720
Speaker 1: the precision and sometimes lack of precision when laying out

1405
01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:36,360
Speaker 1: things like travel will become impossible, not difficult, not challenging,

1406
01:22:36,439 --> 01:22:39,720
Speaker 1: but impossible, and that's a signal to people where they

1407
01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:42,040
Speaker 1: go that must be historic. Then there must be we

1408
01:22:42,080 --> 01:22:45,679
Speaker 1: talking about a historic situation, and I'm not sure we've

1409
01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:49,080
Speaker 1: exactly gotten to that, but it's still snowing hard outside now,

1410
01:22:49,160 --> 01:22:53,400
Speaker 1: and again this is supposed to last. So the final

1411
01:22:53,560 --> 01:22:55,960
Speaker 1: for the rest of the day and even in the evening.

1412
01:22:56,000 --> 01:23:00,400
Speaker 1: So the final verdict on this snonami is it's too

1413
01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:03,880
Speaker 1: or it's premature to do what Lavelle did and dismiss

1414
01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:08,200
Speaker 1: it as a nuisance, even though to this point it's

1415
01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:13,120
Speaker 1: not exactly been what we had uh basically been told

1416
01:23:13,200 --> 01:23:16,960
Speaker 1: that by now in the metro area we were likely

1417
01:23:17,120 --> 01:23:21,840
Speaker 1: able to uh, we were supposed to expect. All right,

1418
01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:26,560
Speaker 1: So there I'm looking at some some Well, part of

1419
01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:30,799
Speaker 1: the advantage today, obviously you mentioned it is there's fewer

1420
01:23:30,920 --> 01:23:33,600
Speaker 1: you know, there's less traffic. It's a Sunday, so the

1421
01:23:33,640 --> 01:23:36,160
Speaker 1: bottle they're probably going to be fewer bottlenecks simply because

1422
01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:40,200
Speaker 1: there's fewer people working. And that also, at least in theory,

1423
01:23:40,240 --> 01:23:42,840
Speaker 1: gives the PLoud drivers a greater chance to get out

1424
01:23:42,840 --> 01:23:44,639
Speaker 1: there and do what they do.

1425
01:23:44,720 --> 01:23:47,280
Speaker 2: So we'll see, I'll be curious that I didn't do this.

1426
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:49,559
Speaker 3: I'm not. I didn't do this the other day when

1427
01:23:50,040 --> 01:23:52,080
Speaker 3: I needed a fill in for Guardsie. I could have

1428
01:23:52,080 --> 01:23:53,920
Speaker 3: avoided a whole bunch of ripping.

1429
01:23:54,080 --> 01:23:56,800
Speaker 1: Think about it, Ye've done it from here.

1430
01:23:56,920 --> 01:23:57,760
Speaker 2: Well, now you know it.

1431
01:23:57,840 --> 01:24:00,240
Speaker 1: So this is the first time we've kind of done

1432
01:24:00,240 --> 01:24:04,080
Speaker 1: it this way, correct, other than you said, you've done some.

1433
01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:07,519
Speaker 2: Some uh fan of demands from home. Yeah.

1434
01:24:07,920 --> 01:24:12,880
Speaker 3: Now I've done similar things for like State Fair, we've

1435
01:24:12,920 --> 01:24:15,320
Speaker 3: run it remotely, but this is the first time. Okay, yeah,

1436
01:24:15,320 --> 01:24:18,000
Speaker 3: that's right, that's right, living room that I've ran it. Yeah, yeah,

1437
01:24:18,160 --> 01:24:18,839
Speaker 3: I will see.

1438
01:24:19,400 --> 01:24:22,360
Speaker 2: That's great. Stand buddy saying how is the drive in?

1439
01:24:23,280 --> 01:24:26,400
Speaker 2: I didn't go the quality. Yeah, the quality of sound

1440
01:24:26,439 --> 01:24:28,280
Speaker 2: is very good. It's it's been outstanding.

1441
01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:30,680
Speaker 1: So I appreciate the help on your end making it

1442
01:24:30,720 --> 01:24:33,280
Speaker 1: pretty seamless. I want to thank Chad Abbott as well,

1443
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:36,639
Speaker 1: because I think, you know, he was helpful and sort

1444
01:24:36,640 --> 01:24:38,519
Speaker 1: of putting this thing together in the front end because originally,

1445
01:24:38,560 --> 01:24:40,439
Speaker 1: like I said, his warning to me was you can

1446
01:24:40,520 --> 01:24:44,280
Speaker 1: do it, but there's a good chance Blake Moore will

1447
01:24:44,320 --> 01:24:46,759
Speaker 1: not be in the conversation. You will literally be doing

1448
01:24:46,840 --> 01:24:48,720
Speaker 1: two hours by yourself. But you know what I said,

1449
01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:53,600
Speaker 1: even then for the for the Rubes, are you kidding me?

1450
01:24:54,360 --> 01:24:56,960
Speaker 1: I came in regardless prepared to do the show that

1451
01:24:57,040 --> 01:24:59,760
Speaker 1: way because it's the fan you know it, I know it.

1452
01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:01,360
Speaker 2: Thanks for your participation.

1453
01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:05,519
Speaker 1: Thank you for all the textures, respect the Sstonami for

1454
01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:07,760
Speaker 1: whatever it ends up being today. Be safe out there,

1455
01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:11,599
Speaker 1: and we plan on talking to you tomorrow beginning at three.

1456
01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:14,880
Speaker 1: Don't forget on the fan Wolves early against Oklahoma City

1457
01:25:15,040 --> 01:25:16,519
Speaker 1: Wild late as well.

1458
01:25:16,640 --> 01:25:19,480
Speaker 2: We'll talk to you tomorrow three
