Speaker 3: Well, I do want to start, believe it or not,

11
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 3: with Gopher men's basketball here real quickly.

12
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: They play tomorrow right here in.

13
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 3: The Fay have tomorrow Rutgers Rutgers eleven o'clock am.

14
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 2: It's an early one at Williams.

15
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 3: But just to talk about the absurdity of their season

16
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 3: injury wise again, seems like Patino had it, Ben Johnson

17
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 3: had it, and now Nico's been here ten minutes and

18
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 3: he's having it. You're familiar with Jalen Crocker Johnson. They

19
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 3: call him Rock every big win, every win, especially in

20
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 3: the Big tenant they've had it. Seems like he's been

21
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 3: a big part of it, right he's I mean they've

22
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 3: all had to play forty minutes the last two months.

23
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,319
Speaker 3: Nico said that that he is out indefinitely with his

24
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 3: I think foot injury and season ender is on the

25
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 3: table now the season's only got like yeah, but it's

26
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 3: like something's going on there, Like the last three coaches

27
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 3: just injury and now they've all had their own issues

28
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 3: at different times.

29
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 2: And fire the training staff. You're gonna blame them, throw

30
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: them under the bus. I don't know what I'm gonna do.

31
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just bad luck. It's just well plus ridiculous.

32
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: It's bad luck plus lack of depth in general. Right,

33
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: it's both. I mean we we we need more, we

34
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: need more people.

35
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: Now.

36
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: Can you can any team withstand the number of injury

37
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 2: they've had here?

38
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: No?

39
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: Probably not. But that's where it makes it stand out

40
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 2: more because at their best once the season began, how

41
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: many people were playing seven maybe eight? Yeah, because before

42
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: they really got started stars, yeah exactly. So yeah, it's yeah,

43
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: that part of it's not been very good for your club.

44
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: I don't think. I mean, if we're gonna get so,

45
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: how does the I even forget?

46
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: Now?

47
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: The are you automatically in the Big ten tournament in

48
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: the men men's side? You are again?

49
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 3: Now this year they went away from it the last

50
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 3: couple of years or you had to be top fifteen.

51
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 3: Maybe just last year you had to be top fifteen.

52
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 3: The men switched it so everybody's in. For women it

53
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 3: is still you have to be in the top fifteen.

54
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 3: The men's coaches voted to get them back into. Everybody

55
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 3: gets in. The women did not want to do that.

56
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 3: The women's coaches said, we're good, keep it at fifteen.

57
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 3: Oh interesting, So that's that's how that whole thing went down.

58
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 3: So they will play I think Chicago for the men.

59
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 3: The women are in indywhere else my favorite town in

60
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 3: about two weeks NBA last year. I know we were

61
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 3: there last year too. It's Vegas next year for the women.

62
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 3: That'll be good Las Vegas with the big ten turn.

63
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 3: You love Vegas. I do love Vegas. And it's better Ian,

64
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 3: Indians better and in.

65
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: That that's not true. Nobody does a big event as

66
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 2: good as Indy does. You know what they're doing for

67
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: the final four this year. They're very proud of it.

68
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: Every division is having their championship to be there, probably

69
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: every He just signed another contract extension and raise.

70
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 3: I thought that was the contract he agreed to that's

71
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 3: been officially saw what it is.

72
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 2: I thought so oh, okay, So because it did it

73
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: sounded weird to see that they gave him another increase.

74
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 3: No, I don't think so. So it's just it's now official,

75
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 3: and it's did I see thirteen and a half mill?

76
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 2: Thirteen and a half milun till the year like twenty

77
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: forty two or something like that. It's like, and.

78
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 3: After he passes away, yeah, yeah, he's still his trust

79
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 3: still he gets thirteen and by then it'll be twenty. Basically,

80
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 3: I'm sure. I'm sure it escalates. Your Minnesota Timberwolves open

81
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 3: the post All Star Break portion of the schedule. You

82
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 3: can't call it the second half of the season, Dan,

83
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,119
Speaker 3: because the first half of the season ended a while ago.

84
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 2: That's true.

85
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 3: There's only twenty six games left in the twenty twenty

86
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,119
Speaker 3: sixth season, and it begins tonight against the Dallas Mavericks.

87
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 3: They begin the Wolves this part of the season in

88
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 3: the sixth spot in the Western Conference. There are percentage

89
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 3: points behind the Los Angeles Lakers.

90
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: They have.

91
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 3: The Lakers have a game in hand on us. I

92
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 3: think maybe a couple of games in hand. So we

93
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 3: are in the sixth spot and let me do the math.

94
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 3: That's always dangerous we're basically a game out of three.

95
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 3: Houston is the third seed right now, we're a game

96
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 3: behind them. Same with the Nuggets and then the Lakers.

97
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 3: So it's Oklahoma City, San Antonio, Davey, Houston, Denver, La,

98
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 3: and your Minnesota Timberwolf.

99
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: Are we sure we want to move soon to the

100
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: Eastern Conference once Vegas and Seattle are added? Who are

101
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 2: you afraid of? Do you see what the Detroit Pistons.

102
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: I was just going to say, the forty one and

103
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 2: thirteen Detroit Pitts. I think that's the best record in

104
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 2: the league. Now it is not quite Oh they have

105
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: They just beat the Knicks again in Detroit. They beat

106
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: the Knicks I think by an average of thirty in

107
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 2: the two games, and they won last night in the

108
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: Garden by close to twenty I think. And I mean,

109
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 2: they're that's what we got to mess with. They're they're,

110
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 2: you know, one of the up, up and comers. I

111
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 2: get it. The West is still this seems like there's

112
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 2: more good teams, but Detroit's in the mix. Don't forget.

113
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 2: The Pacers are going to be back in a very

114
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: very big way. That's true. I mean they're low, They're

115
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 2: gonna get a great player in the draft, and they're

116
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 2: gonna get healthy again. So I think geographically, in a

117
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 2: lot of other ways, it makes sense somebody's two teams

118
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: are gonna have to move to the East, and I

119
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 2: think it's likely that it will be Minnesota will be

120
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 2: one of them. But don't sleep on a few of

121
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 2: the teams in the Eastern Conference, including the Detroit Pistons.

122
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: Did you see speaking of the dominant right now?

123
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 3: I'm loath to do this because of our previous disagreements

124
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 3: on the topic.

125
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 2: Yes, but did you see what.

126
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 3: Pistons guard Cad Cunningham had to say in his GQ article.

127
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 2: By the way, if you get a chance during this segment,

128
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 2: check out his box score from last night. I'm sure

129
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: it was, guys, unbelievable. No, what did he say is

130
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 2: about your guy Sga.

131
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 3: Not that, not exclusively right, But here's what he said.

132
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 3: The flopping is just too much. What do you do

133
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 3: with your best players that do it? Three of the

134
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 3: top five ten guys are doing it constantly.

135
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 2: You're gonna kick them out of the game. I could

136
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: kiss as much as he talking to about Well, I mean,

137
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 2: it's Luca, it's Sga. I don't think Luca flops that much? Oh,

138
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 2: Luka Doncic, Luka Doncic complains a lot. I grant that.

139
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 2: I I here's the disconnect between you and me. The

140
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 2: league once upon a time valued players who, because of

141
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 2: their either their athleticism or their guile, effectively attracted foul calls.

142
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 2: Somehow that's been turned into well, yeah, I'm fine with

143
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,239
Speaker 2: that if they're legitimately fouled, but when they flop, they don't.

144
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 2: And I think it's not I I still don't agree

145
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 2: that it's as dramatic as you do. That's the thing,

146
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: and I think again, I mean, go back to the eighties,

147
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 2: go back that it was. It was considered a skill

148
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 2: that you can get somebody else in a position where

149
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 2: the only way they can guard you is to is

150
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: to nail you. And yeah, is it sold some, Yes,

151
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: it sold some in football it's wide receivers sell it.

152
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 2: But for some reason, now every you think everything is

153
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 2: everybody thinks it's a flop, including one of the best

154
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 2: players in the league. He is now in the MVP conversation,

155
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: Kate Cunningham forty two points last night. Check the rest

156
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 2: of his stats assists. Yeah, and like I think six

157
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: or seven boards. Let me pull up. He was last night.

158
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 2: I mean he was an It's the classic case of Okay,

159
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,239
Speaker 2: you got a lot of good players in the NBA,

160
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: and a lot of good players on those two teams,

161
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: and Nicks have some talent. He was so much better

162
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 2: than any other player who played. And he is one

163
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 2: of those guys. When you watch him, I think you

164
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 2: don't come away necessarily dazzled by his speed or his quickness,

165
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 2: or his art his acrobatics. But every time he gets

166
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 2: to where he wants to go, every time he's really

167
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: really good. But I'm sure now he's your new hero.

168
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 2: He's up there with Wendyn's on it too. Yeah, the

169
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 2: head coach of the Detroit Pistons. I remember he used

170
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: to be here. JB Bicker Steph Baby, done have a job.

171
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 2: And you know I tell you the guy you're gonna

172
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 2: have to apologize to pretty soon. Well, me and James Harden.

173
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 2: James Harden, Yeah, because you mocked Well, you didn't really

174
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 2: mock me. Actually, sam Mitchell mocked me, Yeah for even

175
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 2: even suggesting that the Wolves needed to consider acquiring James

176
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: Harden when he became available. I'm telling you, Cleveland, there's

177
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 2: another team now that I think is legit again. I

178
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 2: think they're reborn with him there. I think they have

179
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 2: as good a chance as anybody in the Eastern Conference. Now,

180
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 2: he's played flawlessly. Now I get it his the rap

181
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 2: on him is postseason. But I just think he's playing

182
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 2: differently because he doesn't care about putting up thirty eight

183
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 2: points anymore. He's a great facilitator. They're often they're doing

184
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: really really well with Harden on that team.

185
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 3: All right, So first pitch from Target Center tonight is

186
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 3: six thirty. You will hear it right here on the fan.

187
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 3: We go right from bumper to bumper to Timberwolves basketball.

188
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 3: The gold medal game is set on the men's side

189
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 3: in Milan, Cortina, And like we all wanted and hoped

190
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 3: and a lot of people expect it, it is the

191
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 3: United States versus Canada. Canada comes back from a two

192
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 3: zero deficit, Thank you Kevin gorg to knock off Finland

193
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 3: today three to two. Big Minnesota flavor on Finland. By

194
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 3: the way, he had Granlind who used to be Grondlind

195
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 3: when he was here. Now apparently several times Granlin Eric Holla,

196
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 3: former Gopher, was a shorthanded goal. Very nice play, but

197
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 3: that was that was it for the Fins and Canada

198
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 3: chipped away and then got a controversial goal.

199
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 2: Was flopping I think I think flopping attracted the penalty?

200
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 2: Do you think so? Yeah, it's possible.

201
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 3: Well, honestly, I was what the call was. Their game

202
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 3: winning goal was either on side or offside, depending on

203
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 3: who you talked to. With thirty five seconds ago, they

204
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 3: reviewed it while we were going in to do enough said,

205
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 3: and it was extremely close to being off sides. Some

206
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 3: would argue that it may have been. I mean, they

207
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 3: were going a zapruder frame by frame. But Canada against

208
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 3: the Wayne three zero. The United States did not have

209
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 3: nearly as much trouble with Slovakia. They routed them six

210
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 3: to two to advance to Sunday's gold medal game.

211
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 2: Russo reminds us that remember the the NHL shot out

212
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 2: the twenty eighteen eight teen Olympics and then pulled out

213
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 2: of the twenty twenty two Olympics in Beijing because of

214
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 2: the pandemic. So this will be a pretty highly anticipated

215
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 2: game that you could say a lot of people have

216
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 2: been waiting for a long time because of the delays

217
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 2: that have taken place, whether again the League was out

218
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 2: of it or pulled out of it in Beijing because

219
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 2: of the pandemic. You could say that this has been,

220
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: shall we say, a long time coming?

221
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: Right?

222
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 3: Fair to say, yeah, I guess i'd forgotten that I

223
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 3: had two You're right.

224
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 2: Canada is fifteen and four all time against the US

225
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 2: at the Olympics, including a four and one record with

226
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 2: NHL participation. The last meeting between the two countries is

227
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,599
Speaker 2: a three to two overtime victory in the final of

228
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 2: the NHL's Four Nations faceoff last Friday, as well, drew

229
00:11:55,440 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 2: more than sixteen million viewers in Canada and the United

230
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 2: States of America. There are America, there are rumors that

231
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 2: the President may attend Sunday's game. Okay, Russo again reminding

232
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 2: us the FBI director Cash Patel, a friend of Bill

233
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 2: garn and somebody who arranged for Trump to call into

234
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 2: the US locker room before the last year's Four Nations

235
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: that final to offer words of encouragement was supposed to

236
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 2: be at Friday's US semifinal. CBS indeed reported, do you

237
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 2: like the idea of receding every round? Because that's what

238
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 2: guaranteed that they would not meet until the gold medal

239
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 2: game because US Canada was a one seed. Ye US

240
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 2: was two. So do you like that concept? Would you

241
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: like to see other sports other you'll go to a

242
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 2: receding concept because that that's what kept this right going,

243
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 2: didn't that is? Well? I guess you could say if

244
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 2: one two, that's going to keep it out to me,

245
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 2: I was going to keep it automatically. But actually I

246
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 2: do like it the other general the rest of the

247
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 2: bracket was received where the one gets because that's what

248
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 2: they do in football too, the NFL. I do like

249
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 2: that because it rewards the top seed for being the

250
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 2: top seed. So do you think that's fine? So then

251
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 2: the top seed still gets to play, at least, in theory,

252
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 2: the weakest remaining team according to the seed. I don't

253
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 2: mind that. Yeah. Hillary Knight and Evan Bias also makes

254
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 2: it more likely it ends up, you know, being one

255
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: and two. That's true.

256
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 3: Hillary Knight and Evan Bates will lead the United States

257
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 3: into the closing ceremony. Hillary Knight apparently they say this

258
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 3: is going to be your final Olympics. She's played in

259
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 3: like fifty of them. I did like all we didn't

260
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 3: talk about it much yesterday, but the game tying goal yesterday,

261
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 3: the redirect, the redirect, yes, but like someone put a

262
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 3: picture of the two of them, and I forget the

263
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 3: other player's name, who was like nine years old taking

264
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 3: a picture of every night like a camp somewhere, and said,

265
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 3: these two just combined for the game time goal. That

266
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 3: stuff is cool. That stuff is really cool. There's no

267
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 3: question about that. So they think Hillary Knight is going

268
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 3: to be done after this. The pair Hillary knighted Evan

269
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 3: Bates hold eight gold medals between them, including gold medals

270
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 3: at these most recent Olympics.

271
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 2: So, by the way, you have the women play another

272
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 2: ranked team Sunday, correct five o'clock Michigan State at the barn.

273
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 3: Crowd's going to be good, the tickets are moving. Oh

274
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 3: is actually yeah?

275
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: Actually what times it start? Five o'clock, five o'clock good,

276
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 2: good time, should be a very good atmosphere. I don't

277
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 2: think there's not another Stoneomi. I think it's suposed to

278
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 2: be chilly all weekend, but I don't think that's it.

279
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 2: I think that's it. There's no weather concerns. That game

280
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 2: you said will be on TV Fox Sports one, Fox

281
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 2: Sports one, Yes, five to ten tipoff five to ten

00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 2: tipoff on so yeah, on Saturday, and then that's they

283
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 2: have one more road game.

00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 3: At Illinois a week from Sunday. They have like their

285
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 3: the tournaments, the March Madness. Yeah, well no, no, the

286
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 3: Big ten tournament is two weeks basically two weeks from

00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 3: where is that?

288
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 2: That's Indy? Also, yeah, you love it.

289
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 3: I'm fighting for the double bye just so don't have

290
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 3: to spend one extra day in India.

291
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 2: It's not very nice. I know, it's not not very nice.

292
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 2: It's not all right, let's pause, we'll prepare for lavel

293
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 2: at the bottom of the hour. Get into a couple

294
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 2: of other controversies as well as we await him DJ

295
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 2: Department of Justice. That's where the new Trump mural life

296
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 2: size mural is life size. It's bigger than life size

297
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 2: because it goes up several stories. I think it was

298
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 2: just I was unfurled yesterday, yesterday, the day before, just

299
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 2: within the last couple of days, I could not remember

300
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 2: which there was a significant government building. I thought that was.

301
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 2: He thought it was always like almost AI kind of

302
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 2: a thing.

303
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, because every other tweet is not real anymore, right,

304
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 3: Like every other tweet is fake somehow, and so I'd

305
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 3: just assumed that was also somebody satire.

306
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 2: You were wrong. You should know better by this point,

307
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 2: I guess, Actually, how do you lose a tariff debate

308
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 2: when the other guy just says, you know what, it's

309
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 2: a callback too much earlier in the uh in the broadcast,

310
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 2: Trump is the goat. Dan wouldn't understand because he never

311
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 2: played ball. Okay, Dan, I've caught most of the show,

312
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 2: but not although I chuckled a lot of things. Trump

313
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 2: claimed today his statement that he was disgusted in the

314
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 2: conservative judges that didn't side with his views, and then

315
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 2: tripled down and said their family should be disgusted in them.

316
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not like there's ever death threats against

317
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 2: staying the Supreme Court justice. Now you brought your family

318
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 2: into it. Yeah, it's it's very true. And it's what's

319
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 2: interesting is it's not just the words, it's the way

320
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 2: they are uttered. And again to that extent, it was.

321
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 2: It was quite a performance. USA gets Olympic, THEA gets

322
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 2: the gold wild hoist Stanley Cup. In twenty twenty six,

323
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 2: Bill Garret hockey immortality. Well that would cement it for him,

324
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 2: It would be ye be a great year form, I

325
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 2: mean a good Christmas card at that point, if you

326
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 2: wanted to retire, you could, right if you if you

327
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 2: get both of those finishes in the same you know,

328
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 2: year months apart, you could at that point. Now you

329
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 2: could say, well now I'm set for life. But if

330
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 2: you wanted to walk away at that point, that would

331
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 2: be an extremely dramatic way to do it. Loon season

332
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 2: opener is Saturday. That's why level of course, where are

333

335
00:17:54,920 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 2: do you make of this exchange with garn So? I

Speaker 2: me get to the texts. I'm not speaking anything out

Speaker 2: of school here. There's nothing off the record. Congrats my boy.

Speaker 2: Call the hotline so we can pop you on. We'll

340
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 2: keep it brief. His reply was thanks, buddy, I appreciate it,

341
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,719
Speaker 2: with a fist emoji and a flag emoji, but no

342
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 2: reaction what I asked him. So, I did what I

343
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 2: think I had to do any shot at getting you.

344
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 2: I know it's crazy in your world right now, got

Speaker 2: the number. All we can do is hope, we got.

346
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 2: I'll watching I think anything's possible. Yeah, I'll be watching

347
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 2: the Hot Low. He's been pretty good to us, as

348
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 2: you say, better shot than with Russo. We don't even

349
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 2: bother to send him a text at this point. First

350
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: time in how many years twenty that we've been ghosted

351
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 2: by Michael Russo.

352
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 3: Oh, we haven't been ghosted. It's just been like, yeah,

353
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 3: I can't come on, can't do it. Yeah, which almost

354
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 3: hurts more be ghosted.

355
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 2: Well, but oh, I see what you're saying, because ghosting

356
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 2: would mean ignore even But it's just five minutes. Maybe

357
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 2: that's what you have to tell him. Say. Look, I

358
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 2: won't you Barrell won't do the usual twenty five minutes

359
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 2: with you. Yeah, but what's get five? Well, five minutes

360
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 2: five minutes ain't bad. I take at this point, I

361
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 2: take something. At least he's in the building. Yeah, you know,

362
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 2: it's you get some sense of what's going on there.

363
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 2: I mean, when you say five, you don't mean five,

364
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,479
Speaker 2: you mean ten to twelve, you mean eighteen, you mean eighteen.

365
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 2: That's true. But maybe you fool him a little bit,

366
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 2: but I don't. Yeah, I don't think because Sunday and

367
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 2: even him on Sunday. No, we're dead. It's over. It's over.

368
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 2: It's been easily our worst Olympics ever. You know what's

369
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 2: going to happen is he's gonna go on. He's gonna

370
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 2: go on beyond the Pond Saturday for like two hours,

371
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 2: for the whole show. Yes, there's nothing. Hold on a minute.

372
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 2: Another text. Damn it, can't do it? Can you do it?

373
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 2: That's what he said.

374
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 3: At least he got back to he Yeah, say, appreciate

375
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,479
Speaker 3: you getting back to me. Maybe Monday and write this.

376
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,959
Speaker 3: How about Monday after you win the gold? Let him

377
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 3: party all night? Oh out, Actually, don't write it that way.

378
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 3: Say we'll plan for early next week after you win gold,

379
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 3: early next week. Don't say how about to say we'll

380
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 3: plan on it. Well, that's awfully presumptuous. All right, that's

381
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 3: what I say. We'll plan on early next week after

382
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 3: you win the gold. We'll plan on go get those

383
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 3: Canadian calm down.

384
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 2: She's early next week after you get the gold. But

385
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 2: what if they don't get the gold? That doesn't matter.

386
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 2: It's irrelevant to this text. That's a good point.

387
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 3: You're firing him up here, and you're letting them know

388
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 3: you're on you're on his side early.

389
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 2: Next week when you after you get the gold.

390
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, there you go. See now you're pulling

391
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 3: a shot. Now it's one USA.

392
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 2: Well at least he's responding Russo of course I haven't

393
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 2: really texted no, so I cave it up. So he

394
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 2: wasn't even so he is ghosting it.

395
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 3: No, he does respond, but after like four times where

396
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 3: I'm like how about this, how about that?

397
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 2: Then it's just like you just you give up at

398
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 2: some point, you know.

399
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:01,959
Speaker 1: Uh.

400
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 2: Oh to Robert Duval, hope, I didn't miss it. You did,

401
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 2: We did. We had a heavy ode series of odes too,

402
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 2: Robert Deval. In fact, I just saw a lot of

403
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 2: old interviews are surfacing when he did with Conan. That

404
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 2: was was good. He was a pretty good interviewer, there's

405
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 2: no question about that. I thought the DOJ was supposed

406
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 2: to be a political No. Oh, that's yeah, we did,

407
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 2: we all tee. I don't know if I I mean,

408
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 2: I'm trying to go back to JFK ever put a

409
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 2: mural up of himself. I don't think so. I don't

410
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 2: think LBJ did on any like government building like that.

411
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 3: I don't remember, you mean, like a just story picture

412
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 3: of themselves exactly.

413
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't remember. I don't remember that. I mean,

414
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 2: maybe I missed it. I mean, look, all these guys

415
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 2: we get it, have big egos, but this is this

416
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 2: is unprecedented stuff. Man, There's just there's no way around it. No,

417
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 2: I don't think that's that's ever happened. Somebody asked, also,

418
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 2: what was the point of bringing up the Montgomery bus

419
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 2: boycott and linking it to ICE. Did you hear me,

420
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 2: in any way, shape or form link it to the

421
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 2: ICE demonstrations?

422
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, you did. I did, yes, because about the planning. Oh,

423
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 3: that's right, the planning part, that's right.

424
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 2: I did that. That part I did. Not that they

425
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 2: are coordinated, that they are. The point of the Montgomery

426
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 2: thing was it's okay to be coordinated. Whether it's that big,

427
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 2: that historic, or what took place here, we're talking importance.

428
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 2: But the reason, the date, the reason I talked about

429
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 2: Montgomery at all was it was on this date that

430
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 2: four of the principles were first arrested as part of

431
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 2: the ongoing Montgomery boycott. That was the point of it.

432
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 2: And you're right, I did. What I linked was the

433
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 2: notion that, well, the only way you're allowed to do it,

434
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 2: to make it really organic is just you throw it. Yeah,

435
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes beforehand, See, people were bringing their own signs. No,

436
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 2: it's just that's not that's immaterial. And to be effective,

437
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 2: believe it or not, there has to be some planning.

438
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 2: And there was incredible not just coordination, but incredible discipline

439
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 2: during much of the demonstrations throughout the civil rights period

440
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 2: of the United States of America into the fifties and sixties.

441
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 2: All Right, we have reached the bottom of the hour break.

442
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 2: We got lavel I guess we'll touch on soccer. I

443
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 2: don't want to talk a lot of soccer with him,

444
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 2: but we'll get to it. We'll get to some leftover

445
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 2: winter Olympics stuff, and who knows what else. If you

446
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 2: have questions for Lavelle six four six eighty six, that's

447
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,320

449
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,959
Speaker 2: will be a X. Today six to three ruling by

450
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court is a victory for the American people

451
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 2: and to win for the separation of powers enshrined in

452
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 2: the Constitution of the United States. In Learning Resources, Inc.

453
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 2: Versus Trump our Supreme Court is reaffirmed. If the Constitution

454
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 2: grants Congress, not the President, the powered to a tacks,

455
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 2: American families and American businesses pay American tariffs, not foreign countries.

456
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 2: And with this decision, American families and businesses can breathe

457
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 2: a cigh of relief. I'm proud of the work our organization,

458
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 2: American Freedom has done on this case through our Robust

459
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 2: Amica's brief program to advance economic freedom and defend the Constitution.

460
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 2: The good friend of the Presidents, Donald J. Trump his

461
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 2: former Vice president Mike Pence. On today's ruling, I'm sure

462
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 2: he'll be dismissed as another you know, left wing radical,

463
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 2: like so many that come before. Speaking of left wing radicals,

464
00:24:54,720 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 2: we have located Lavelle E Neo the Third given every opportunity,

465
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 2: every opportunity to come into studio for a solid hour,

466
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 2: maybe even ninety minutes. And I'm gonna be honest with

467
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 2: you, you gave kind of a layme ass excuse for why

468
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 2: that was impossible.

469
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: Work As part of it, I was kind of interced

470
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: at the grip at the time.

471
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 2: You can't bring your computer here and work on it

472
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 2: while you know, like in between fifthy.

473
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: Comments, Absolutely not I need to. I think you know,

474
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 1: I have problems with focus. So last thing I need

475
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: is distracting myself while I'm speaking with you. He'd be

476
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: on top of my gage, you know, when I'm on

477
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: the gambrell So is that what it is?

478
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have problems with focus. That should be in

479
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 3: your Twitter bio. Problems with focus.

480
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 2: We all do to varying degrees. I think that's that's

481
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 2: a So soccer for Sunday? Is that the Is that

482
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 2: the the moral of the story.

483
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 1: There's soccer for Sunday. There's also a same tom it's

484
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: men's hockey for Sunday because I wrote kind of a

485
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 1: humorous column up about actually the men's hockey team is

486
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: having a good year. It has a good chance of

487
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: making the tournament. Plus they're, uh, they're selling beer now

488
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:17,439
Speaker 1: throughout the new arena, So I got one of the

489
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: players talking about the potential of beer being thrown in

490
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: they're not playing well. So yeah, so I got two

491
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: things actually cooked up for the Sunday. It's been a

492
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: busy week, you know, with the Olympic stuff, and you know,

493
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: now I've got to write off the I got just

494
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 1: some Minnesota hockey column Sunday for Monday after the gold

495
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: medal game between the United States and Canada. So trying

496
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: to trying to figure out a path to that.

497
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 2: Uh.

498
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: And then, you know, because we don't have a Loons

499
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: writer right now, uh in need of the columns. Column

500
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: is running tomorrow because Loons season begins tomorrow at Austin.

501
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: So I'm been a busy guy.

502
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, you are a busy guy. What about curling? What

503
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 2: happened to us this morning?

504
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: Switzerland is the second right team in the world and

505
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: the USA was just itches off on a few of

506
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: their throws, and that's enough to tell you know, to

507
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 1: turn the tables, you know, high stakes curdling match. There's

508
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: a thing called the hammer, which is the last shot

509
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: at each end, which is like an inning in baseball.

510
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: So usually when the team has the hammer, you're looking

511
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: to score multiple points. But the United States had the

512
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: hammer four times today and scored one point each time.

513
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: And that's called a force. When the team is able

514
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: to who doesn't have the hammer holds the team that

515
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: has the hammer till point, it's called a force. So

516
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: they are forced four times, and those were those were

517
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: ends they needed to take advantage of it and it

518
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 1: didn't work out, and it kind of told the tale.

519
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: And then they went for a big shot in the

520
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: ninth and went for three. Missed it, you know, just

521
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: hit it a little too thick and missed the rock

522
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: the Switzerland rock by you know, about a foot, and

523
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 1: that would have been a three, which would have given

524
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: them a lead instead of three. Ended up being another one,

525
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: and then Switzerland put them away in the town. So

526
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 1: they played for Bronx tomorrow morning. Another match I have

527
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: to monitor right off of but they pay Canada and

528
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: they played Canada and pool play and actually beat them

529
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: at pool play. It was the first time the US

530
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: women have to feed it Canada in an Olympic competition ever,

531
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 1: so it was.

532
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 2: Kind of a big deal.

533
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: And now there's a rematch for tomorrow morning at seven am.

534
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 2: Are you actually at Allaris? Is that what we're gonna

535
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 2: just in like in a quiet back room at Allories

536
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 2: and you didn't want to admit to it. Is that

537
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 2: where you really are?

538
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: No, I'm I'm in my car, I'm going inside to

539
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: my watering hole as soon as I'm done here to

540
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: blow off my Friday evening happy hour steam.

541
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 2: Well then you could have come into studio.

542

Speaker 1: an hour ago.

544
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, okay, let's do the math on that. Up

545
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 2: to an hour ago means you could have been here

546
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 2: by five point fifteen and been on the show five

547
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 2: fifteen to six thirty easily.

548
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: That was That was followed up by domestic issues at

554
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 2: maybe you get here at five point forty.

555
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: Well maybe could.

556
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 2: You just you didn't want to come, you know, you

557
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 2: say you're not committed to the bid anymore. That's fine,

558
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 2: that's okay. I can live with I just do I.

559
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,400

00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, whatever you say, Uh, it goes.

562
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: It's you know, I don't want you to take a pressure.

563
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: Lastday I had stuff going on.

564
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 2: You know, you have to lie yourself. You know, I

565
00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 2: just don't want you to lie to yourself. That's all

566
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 2: I'm asking. What leaving aside what's to come. Uh, certainly

567
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 2: gold medal game US Canada on the men's side. Give

568
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 2: me the number one leavel highlight of these Winter Olympics.

569
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: Jesse Diggins winning a medal with Bruce Ribs that restricted

570
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: her breathing. That that stuff that I just can't believe

571
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: that happened. Uh, the fact that you know, in the

572
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: sport that really tests tests your aerobic capacity and it

573
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: hurts to inhale because it's rubbing up against Bruce Ribbs. Yeah,

574
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: but she figured out a way. Uh, I think you

575
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: pick up a bronze. And she said it was probably

576
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: the most difficult race of her career, which is saying

577
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: something because Jesse's had some challenges for her career. Uh,

578
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: that that really jumps up, jumps out to me. That

579
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: was that was quite a sight, you know for the

580
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: nets a Minnesota one too, and the mixed doubles curling

581
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: team getting silver. That was the first medal the mixed

582
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: doubles for the United States. The quad God, you know,

583
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: having uh proven that as human you know what falling?

584
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: Uh what the sports there are? Oh Myers Taylor at

585
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: age forty one went in the medal.

586
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm talking about that was that was massive? Yeah,

587
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 2: that was good. That was a hidden, sneaky one. That is, uh,

588
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 2: what I think makes the Winter Game so much fun

589
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 2: because I don't know, I don't know most of these names,

590
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 2: these more obscure names, but they're good stories behind them,

591
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 2: and once you learn about them, then you know them,

592
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 2: and then I think it becomes easier to get in

593
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 2: to become invested in them.

594
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know. Her name is Alana Myers Taylor,

595
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: I believe, and I believe she has I believe she

596
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: has two sons. Correct that may have maybe hearing a

597
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: parrot a little bit.

598
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 2: I don't I don't remember that part.

599
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: So so it's actually a really cool story. And this

600
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: is like a third Olympics, I believe, maybe more than that.

601
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's pretty impressive that at age forty one

602
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: she can she can win a gold. Actually I believe so.

603
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: And I was watching some of those runs and it

604
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: was just a crawdlehew fast she was going and it

605
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: was it was it was uh, it was during a

606
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: heat where everybody it was like one up in each

607
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: other too. One press would take over lead and up

608
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: would take over lead, and and then Myers Taylor came

609
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: through big time. So those are some of the things

610
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: that are stand out to me about including the stupid

611
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: snowbountaineering event and went you ski uphill or run up

612
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: hill and then you have to climb stairs and then

613
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: you ski such try I prey out if that's cool

614
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: or not or fun or interesting. Uh.

615
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 2: We watched some of that I think yesterday where there

616
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 2: they were they were well they were Yeah, they were

617
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 2: climbing up via skis, wine skis up uh, what looked

618
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 2: like a pretty imposing hill or mountain and it was

619
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,239
Speaker 2: one of those combination events. Yeah, I don't know what

620
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 2: to I didn't even know that one existed. There's still

621
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 2: a bunch I'm learning that exists that it didn't even.

622
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: Know that that was a new one. So I didn't know.

623
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: I didn't even know it was on the schedule until

624
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: the day was coming up, you know. So yeah, those

625
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: are the things that jump out. And so now we

626
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: got we got the women's curling team going from bronze.

627
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: We got Jesse Diggins going Sunday morning when the fifty

628
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: k cross country rates, and then we have USA men

629
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: against Canadian man for gold and hockey that's the three

630
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: and I says there's a point in boss that too.

631
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if we have an entry in that

632
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: or not.

633
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 2: You've left out hockey, men's and women's.

634
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: I just mentioned hockey. I mean yeah. I mean it's

635
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: great for the women because they lost in Beijing when

636
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: I was there and they went younger. But I'm gonna

637
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: tell you man, yesterday they did not play awaiting normally played.

638
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: I think the bright lights and the big moment got

639
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: to some of them because they were not They couldn't

640
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: put for assuring together passes, they weren't moving away to

641
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: use the they were just off. You know. Fortunately, Keyler

642
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: came up with the over the tournament when she peeked

643
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: around and uh then that was Claire Thompson. The Canadian

644
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: player that Kevin went around for the winning goal. That

645
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: was Claire Thompson. She played for the Frost last year.

646
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 1: The only reason she's playing in the PWHL is because

647
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: she she had the she's becoming a doctor and she left.

648
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: She paused her middle school school tenure to play the

649
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: p WHL. Whenever I go toward playing in the Olympics, so

650
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: I think it's a zip for her. I think she's

651
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: gonna just go to Mexico and finish program and become

652
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 1: a doctor. So she had a lot of invested into this,

653
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: and that was I felt bad because here you are, you're,

654
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: you're uh. You lose the gold medal and your gets

655
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: over and so they go down and then in all

656
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 1: the Canadian athletes of their medal, and then they start

657
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: over again and hand them and stuff ane animal. Do

658
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,240
Speaker 1: you really think the Canadian women are happy by getting

659
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: the stuffed amital animal after losing a gold medal came?

660
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 2: I would tend to think not. I'd probably with you

661
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 2: about that for sure. So are you ready for the

662
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 2: Hammond Indiana Bears?

663
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: I part of me still thinks that something's gonna happen

664
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: when Arlanson nights, and it's gonna get done. But yesterday

665
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: was weird because Kevin Warren, you know, our former guy,

666
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: was supposed to at the meeting UH with some officials

667
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: in which they were talking about they thought they were

668
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: procress was being made, and he did not show up,

669
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: and so Governor Jade Prisker is not happy with Warren

670
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: right now. I gotta imagine it's still still trying to

671
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: play the leverage card here. I can't believe because here's

672
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: the other thing too, Dad, I was thinking about this now.

673
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:39,760
Speaker 1: It's it Hammond, which is right over the border from Chicago.

674
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: Like I told you, that's where my parents used to

675
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: go to buy cigarettes. That was actually you're like this one.

676
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: It's the Ninth Ward that runs up against the Indiana border.

677
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: You know it used to be the ultimate of the

678
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: Ninth Ward in Chicago.

679
00:35:55,239 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 2: Did word for yes, Wow, that's big.

680
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: That was fast Eddy's man. Yeah, we go over there

681
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: because the cigarettes are cheaper, and we go over there

682
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 1: because they sold fireworks for cheap, and so we have

683
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 1: our little backyard for July parties. But they've got to

684
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 1: build a stadium. We've got to build hotels for christ

685
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: Fixed because they go to house a lot of people

686
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: who are who are coming over to watch games. But

687
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: I gotta imagine it. Illinois may have to just grin

688
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: their grip their teeth and just hand the Bears a

689
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 1: lot of what they want, because they're gonna be kicking

690
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: themselves as soon as Taylor Swift has a concert there

691
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: and everybody from Illinois is going over the border and

692
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,760
Speaker 1: spending the money in Indiana, they're gonna be like, someone's

693
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 1: got to be sitting in the legislator, going, you know

694
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 1: this is gonna happen. Taylor's gonna play over there, border Rolla,

695
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: Stones in their fell Weell Tour or someone else huge,

696
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: and we'd of like that concert should be in Chicago,

697
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: and we're gonna feel bad about that. So I gotta

698
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: imagine it's gonna be some There's gonna be some eleventh hour,

699
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: twenty third hour maneuvering here. I don't think our the

700
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: Heights option is completely done well.

701
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 2: Here the theory I advanced yesterday. I see what you

702
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 2: think of this. We're chatting with Lavelle e Neil the

703
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 2: third and if you have questions at the bratschew on

704
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 2: Brian Kfey in text line six four six eight six.

705
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 2: My theory is this, when I think of the Bears, naturally,

706
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 2: I think of the city. I think of Well, for

707
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 2: a long time, it was Wrigley Field, but then obviously

708
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 2: more recently it's been the Lakefront. It's been Soldier Field.

709
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 2: But once it became clear to me that that's not

710
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,439
Speaker 2: an option, because Chicago is not an option, I don't

711
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 2: believe there's any reason to believe that it is Soldier Field.

712
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 2: I don't think is an option, and the option was

713
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 2: Arlington Heights. Then I say to myself, all of the

714
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:52,800
Speaker 2: tradition and if the feel I have of the Bears identity,

715
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter that much to me as a guy

716
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 2: who grew up on that team, whether it's Arlington Heights,

717
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:04,280
Speaker 2: Illinois or Hammon, Indiana. I once you're leaving the nest,

718
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,800
Speaker 2: what the hell's the difference other than it's just happens

719
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 2: to be a different state and it feels like it's

720
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 2: much further away. But you know, and I know it's

721
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 2: not that far away.

722
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 1: It'll be closer for me from my where I grew

723
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: up in Chicago to get to ham and it would

724
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: be a downtown Chicago. Uh, to be honest with you, So, yeah,

725
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: you're right, that would be I mean, hey, when Arlington

726
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: Hepstein popped up, I wasn't happy about it. I was

727
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: hoping it would figure out a way to keep the

728
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: stake the team on the lake. Frank with me as

729
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: a kid growing up in Chicago, you know that was

730
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: which you just always believe that you're gonna see the

731
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 1: Bears and Sojia Field and you're gonna see George Hallis,

732
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: you know, watching this team play. But by the way,

733
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 1: I don't think George would be very happy about Edward

734
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: McCaskey the decision here it was still alive, right, he

735
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: would George would have been been the spring down in

736
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: Springfield by now just barging into a committee meeting and

737
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: founding it's visiting the table. By getting this downe anyone

738
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: said yes or yes or mister allis, whatever you say.

739
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: There's no way he would accept this, this nuclear option,

740
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: although he I think he tried to. I think he's

741
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 1: started to move him a couple of times. I think

742
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: he tried to move him somewhere himself, to the suburbs.

743
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: But I, uh, yeah, the Chicago thing is. But I

744
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: was prepared. I was prepared to make that you know

745
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: that mental emotional Yeah, kind of just dying a vine there,

746
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 1: but there will still be in Illinois. Angle's face it.

747
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: The Dallas Cowboys have played in Irving, and they played

748
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: in Arlington, the Cleveland Cavaliers. Cavaliers was playing Richmond Coliseum. Rightly,

749
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: sports teams don't necessarily play in the city that they're

750
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: named after, so and that goes across a bunch of sports.

751
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: While I was prepared, I was prepared to Okay, I

752
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: could accept going to Arlington. Uh, it's gonna be hard

753
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 1: for me to see them going across the border in Indiana.

754
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: But you know, the lot Ghostle tells me that if

755
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: Indiana wants to go broke trying to bring the Bears over,

756
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 1: and Illinois almost kind of broke. And by the way,

757
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 1: they still haven't paid off the last renovation at Soldier Field,

758
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,760
Speaker 1: which it totally is boggling to me. I can't believe

759
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: it's not done. They're still paying off that bill. So

760
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 1: there's like another five hundred million to go or something

761
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 1: like that. That was what is my state doing? What's

762
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: going on there?

763
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 2: When it comes to money, it's not handled.

764
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, you will got the check book and what checks

765
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: they write, and that's getting them in so much trouble.

766
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,320
Speaker 2: By the way, for the record, Soldier Field to Arlington

767
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 2: Heights is almost thirty miles. Soldier Field to Hammond is

768
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 2: twenty seven miles. It's just a different direction and people.

769
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 2: You know, again, it feels different because it's hellanois you know,

770
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 2: the differs in Illinois and Indiana. So we'll see, we'll keep

771
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 2: it on it because in the end, it's not a

772
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 2: deal till it's a deal. But I think Indiana is

773
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 2: getting really smart about making an offer that ultimately they

774
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 2: may say that they cannot refuse. Lavelle is with us.

775
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 1: You read John Greenberg's story and athletic about it.

776
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 2: I did not.

777
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: His argument is like, it's all the money they're probably

778
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 1: gonna en up in ow Heights just because the retail

779
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: opportunities for the mccaskey's is much better than it would

780
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: be in northwest Indiana.

781
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 2: Well, the site is yeah, the site is ritt is fertile.

782
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 2: I mean I don't mean that literally, I mean that

783
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 2: figuratively for quite a complex. There's no question about that,

784
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 2: that's for sure. By the way, are you going to

785
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 2: spring training this year? I even ten days days? Okay,

786
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 2: all right, that's late for you, isn't it.

787
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, I mean I just had to fight the

788
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: right date.

789
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 2: You know.

790
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: I wanted to be down there now, but the Olympics

791
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 1: were going on. Plus they didn't know if they're gonna

792
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: want calms off the high school hockey tournament. Yeah, so

793
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: the speech bot was like early March, so that's when

794
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: I'm going down. So I'm going down for about a

795
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: week checking out the guys. So yeah, so like that's

00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: talking to you from so not time. Happy uh, happy

798
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: Spring training day today. By the way, I was actually

799
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 1: on my phone. I was watching the Twins and exhibition

800
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: against the Minnesota Golden Gophers.

801
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 2: Right before you call it, Oh, how do we do?

802
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 2: How do we look?

803
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,800
Speaker 1: It's gross in the second that started early.

804
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 2: It looks like a nice weather. That's all that matters

805
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 2: this time of year, if we're here in in the

806
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:23,439
Speaker 2: nonsense that we're in.

807
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: Wolves were just to show you that, even though there's

808
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 1: a lot of fantapathy against the Twins, I head it

809
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 1: on my phone and a little lady walked them behind

810
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: me and said, yeah, he baseball's back. And then the

811
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: next you said, but Pablo's out for the year. So

812
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: there's still some people who are emultally attached to the

813
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 1: to the franchise.

814
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, at least for now. The Wolves restart tonight. They

815
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:51,439
Speaker 2: are hosting the injury riddled Dallas Mavericks. I think we've

816
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 2: got twenty six games left to go. Conley is back.

817
00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 2: He's been designated as the guy who's in charge of

818
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 2: moods of team moods and trying to keep those moods

819
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 2: on an even keel. Your guy out of Illinois, Io

820
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 2: Desumu is here clearly going to have a significant role

821
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 2: the rest of the way. So do you view how

822
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 2: do you view the current condition of this club? You

823
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,800
Speaker 2: you put them on the second plateau? Or do you

824
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 2: view them as a team that has as good a

825
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,720
Speaker 2: chance as anybody to get out of the Western Conference?

826
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 2: Get out of the Western Conference, out of the Westerner.

827
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 1: I think best. I mean, well, shake Gilgas Alexander's injury situations.

828
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: We're staring watching here down this trench. I don't know

829
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: if the Wolves are NBA Finals threats, so I guess

830
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 1: I'd have to put them on second tier. But I

831
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 1: was worried that they're gonna have trouble getting to the

832
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 1: semi finals this year. To wait, things are going so

833
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: I want to see how this is going to play out, man,

834
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: because it is gold time. You know, you got to

835
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 1: check your feelings at the door. We walk in. You

836
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 1: got twice six games that now sprint to the finish.

837
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 1: You can't fake the funk now, and you know all

838
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,280
Speaker 1: the ups and downs he went through to a regular season.

839
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 1: We've seen this before from this team. We've seen Anthony

840
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,720
Speaker 1: Edwards complain about how they don't follow what the coaches

841
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 1: they're telling them to do. It seems they have to happen.

842
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: It happens once a year. Now, there's no excuses. You

843
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 1: gotta get locked in, you get locked and loaded. You

844
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 1: have to go go after it and go hard. And

845
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: that's what I want to see a response starting tonight

846
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 1: by polarizing injury depleted Dallas Mavericks team where you know,

847
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 1: some people would think this is the type of game

848
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: the Wolves would lose. Well, there's time for them to

849
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:40,919
Speaker 1: prove that these are the type of games that they're

850
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: going to take advantage of the opponent.

851
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 2: By the way, we did mention that and talked a

852
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 2: lot earlier because the game was going on in front

853
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 2: of our eyes the US in Canada in the gold

854
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 2: medal game on the men's side of the Olympics on Sunday,

855
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 2: and guards you pose the question whether the US has

856
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 2: already done enough that whether they win or lose the

857
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:08,399
Speaker 2: gold medal game, this will not be that this would

858
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 2: be considered a success or would certainly not be considered

859
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 2: a failure. What's the line here on what does the

860
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 2: US have to win. Does the US merely have to

861
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 2: play competitively against Canada or is this already a success?

862
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 1: No, you have to win. You gotta win. This is

863
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 1: not just the chance for winn go medal, but it's

864
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: also against the Canada, which you know, these are the

865
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,879
Speaker 1: two both men and women, These are the two top

866
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: you know, hockey playing countries in the world. Although I

867
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: guess Russia would probably have an argument with that, but

868
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: you know, you know, stop the devading countries and stop

869
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 1: having doping scandals. Maybe you'd be allowed to go back

870
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: to the Olympics so we can find this out, you know,

871
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 1: but these are these are the two top hockey playing countries.

872
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: The rivalry game we saw, We saw the emotion and

873
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: the intensity of the Four Nations Final between the United

874
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 1: States uh in Canada when they broke out with fights,

875
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: you know, at the beginning of the match. Yeah, and

876
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 1: then I believe it went in overtime, right, and then

877
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 1: Conor McDavid went to another level that no one could

878
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 1: get to. He turned into a cybord and just went

879
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 1: bananas and and pretty much put Canada on his back

880
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 1: and they won, you know, And that was a gut punch,

881
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 1: you know, I was sitting next to I was sitting

882
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: next to Dave Brooks, her person's brother, watching the game,

883
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,720
Speaker 1: so I could see the painting englishes in his eyes

884
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 1: over what was transpiring. Now, you gotta beat rival. You

885
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 1: guys wouldn't go to get a chance. You know, this

886
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 1: is the first time that the UH did the Olympics.

887
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: Olympics have had professional players anh O players in it

888
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 1: for years. And you know this is best on best

889
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: once again acknowledging that you know, Brush is not here

890
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: to have to say about this, but this is best

891
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,720
Speaker 1: on best. And you want to win these these these

892
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: UH these tournaments.

893
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 2: That part there's I I'm actually grading on a more

894
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 2: generous curve than you. I think if you play, I mean,

895
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 2: every everybody going in the hockey people all told me

896
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 2: that the Canada talent is absurd. Not that the US

897
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 2: didn't have good talent, but the Canada talent is absurd.

898
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 2: I don't think you can change the story now, I guess,

899
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 2: other than maybe to say Canada has looked, despite that talent,

900
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 2: more vulnerable than they expect it to be. To me,

901
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 2: you have to play. If you don't play a competitive game,

902
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 2: I get it, But if it ends up being a

903
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 2: one goal game and you lose an ot to Canada.

904
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 2: I don't really think anybody should be calling for Bill

905
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 2: Gharren's head.

906
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 1: Oh no, not at all. I would be calling it

907
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:38,839
Speaker 1: would be comfed. We believe Jean's head either. I think

908
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,879
Speaker 1: he's done a fine cown putting together the roster. They

909
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 1: definitely have not looked as vulnerable as Canada going through

910
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 1: pool play. In entering the knockout phase, Canada is vulnerable

911
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,879
Speaker 1: and as they pointed out during the broadcast, they're they're

912
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 1: big guns, like you know, like McDavid and Lincoln McKinnon

913
00:47:58,040 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 1: and am a car Those guys have had the log

914
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 1: heavy minutes in some of these games because they had

915
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 1: to shortened shortened event a little bit to uh, to

916
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:09,919
Speaker 1: get the results they wanted. So nine Sikh that has

917
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,760
Speaker 1: not had that problem. Now, I hope the Olympic Committee

918
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 1: doesn't ruin us and and and plalized could chuck for

919
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 1: fighting at the end of the game, but first of all,

920
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 1: he's an idiot for throwing a punch.

921
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 2: Uh.

922
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 1: But Art was saying that it's they could get objective

923
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 1: for this.

924
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 2: Any think about that. Has there been any kind of

925
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 2: follow up yet for any blowback to how that game ended.

926
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 1: It sounds like the Olympic Committee could have the option

927
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:41,439
Speaker 1: of of punishing players for fighting, but they can also

928
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:45,320
Speaker 1: elect not to. I can't see that in the first

929
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: year in a while that professional players are part of

930
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: this that they would want to be so sanctimonious on

931
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 1: that issue.

932
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it was dumb. It was dumb. I mean,

933
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 2: when you factor in your your the game's long over,

934
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:03,800
Speaker 2: it's it's it's you're you're you're being sort of suckered

935
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 2: into some activity that that that's not very brainy, right.

936
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 1: Uh. The French guy got into a fight with Tom Wilson,

937
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 1: and I think the I think the committee countains say

938
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 1: they won't be any front of punishment, but France suspended

939
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 1: the guy for not uppolling the values or for actions

940
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: he did after the fight, so I don't know what

941
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:27,760
Speaker 1: that was all about. So he got by his own generation,

942
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 1: which is weird. But I gotta imagine Kachuck would be

943
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 1: suiting up against Canada for go. I'm looking forward to it.

944
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:37,839
Speaker 1: Everybody's looking forward to it, just to be the one

945
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 1: time where the ratings will be more spread out across

946
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: the country instead of being dominated by Sultan's because you know,

947
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 1: we're number one in viewer in ratings during the Olympics,

948
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 1: which is a reflection of you know, the thirty one

949
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,879
Speaker 1: athletes that are from Minnesota on the USA team.

950
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've done very well in that. I think Todd

951
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 2: what do we say guards with Fort Myers and of

952
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 2: course half of Minnesota is uh is it lives in

953
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:03,399
Speaker 2: four Myers anyway, So it's the same thing, right, It's

954
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,839
Speaker 2: a distinction without a difference. All Right, we gotta go.

955
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:08,839
Speaker 2: You got a lot to do tonight. I can tell

956
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:09,920
Speaker 2: you're very, very busy.

957
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 1: I do, guys, see the boss. It's been a long week.

958
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 2: I'll be careful. Just just.

959
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: Seven tomorrow and right off the curling next there.

960
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:24,840
Speaker 2: You go, have fun. Thank you, Thank you, Lavelle e

961
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 2: Neil the third. We have a half hour yet to

962
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:31,919
Speaker 2: go in today's extravaganza, plenty of controversy yet to cover.

963
00:50:32,120 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 2: Come back and see It turns out this will be

964
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 2: the final segment of today's edition of the Friday Football

965
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 2: Beast because we have not only do we have Timberwolves

966
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:11,400
Speaker 2: action tonight, back in action at home against the Dallas Mavericks.

967
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 2: Here on the flagship. We're doing the full pregim show guards,

968
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 2: he tells me, correct, fifteen, yeah, six fifteen, Me to

969
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 2: look at the schedule tonight. So the show wrap is

970
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 2: brought to you by American pressure commercial grade pressure washers

971
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:26,879
Speaker 2: since nineteen seventy five. That also works, no question about that.

972
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:29,440
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try to get to a couple of texts

973
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 2: in our final minutes of today's broadcast, So sermons. So,

974
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 2: the average Olympic hockey game goes what two hours more

975
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 2: than that? Even probably a shade more. So it starts

976
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:47,240
Speaker 2: at seven to ten. You told me, yes am our time. Yes,

977
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 2: So it'll be wrapping up certainly. We think by nine

978
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 2: thirty ish nine forty five, right, depending on you know,

979
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:56,400
Speaker 2: delays or whatever the case may be. So we'll have

980
00:51:56,440 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 2: a chance to spend much of sermons responding to, reacting to.

981
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:05,719
Speaker 2: If I can keep the sidekick from being distracted. Yeah,

982
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 2: I mean if it's he gets distracted, if he's just watching,

983
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:10,840
Speaker 2: you know, his favorite British soccer.

984
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 3: League, which is also on Sundays. Always exactly right, so

985
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 3: you're actually used to it. Yeah, I am to be

986
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 3: a problem.

987
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 2: To a certain degree, that's true. But the gold medal

988
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 2: game is set and that'll give us something to bounce

989
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:24,839
Speaker 2: off of into a play off of as well. On

990
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 2: Sunday's program, maybe look back at what the Wolves did

991
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:32,840
Speaker 2: Friday night maybe preview you mentioned your club is a

992
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 2: Sunday afternoon against Michigan State. What are they ranked lower

993
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 2: than Ohio State? Right? Eighteen eighteenth? Yes, and we are

994
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:43,200
Speaker 2: the winning streaks at nine? Yeah, nine game? Wh when's

995
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:44,879
Speaker 2: the last time we've had a nine game winning streak

996
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 2: in the women's program.

997
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:49,319
Speaker 3: In one season? In the Big Ten, you have to

998
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 3: span a couple of ceilings. I think, yeah, there was one.

999
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 3: There was two years where I think they got to eleven.

1000
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,280
Speaker 3: I want to say they won the last seven regular

1001
00:52:57,320 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 3: season and then like four the next year, But it

1002
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 3: doesn't happen very often. Doesn't happen very often teddy times. Yeah,

1003
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 3: that's for sure.

1004
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 2: So and you say they seem to be doing well

1005
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 2: better with tickets than they did the other night when

1006
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:13,919
Speaker 2: they got caught up in this sonami. Yeah.

1007
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:17,319
Speaker 3: The advanced sales for Sunday are probably the best they've

1008
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 3: been all season, and hopefully more people pick up on

1009
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:20,879
Speaker 3: it as the weekend goes.

1010
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 2: Should be fun. The nine to five to two guy

1011
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 2: referring back to our discussion with Lavelle about whether the

1012
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 2: Bears are actually going to move to Indiana. What's the

1013
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 2: people saying over the border from Illinois to Indiana or

1014
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 2: any other state. Last time I check, you didn't need

1015
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:35,479
Speaker 2: a passport to get there. It's a state line. Well,

1016
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:39,800
Speaker 2: it is true that, I mean, we talked about this yesterday.

1017
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:43,799
Speaker 2: It's not unprecedented. For obviously, the New York teams play

1018
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 2: in Jersey and Half for a long time. I think

1019
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:50,319
Speaker 2: it's just in this case because the Bears have been

1020
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:55,319
Speaker 2: in Chicago forever, it feels a little bit more dramatic

1021
00:53:56,120 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 2: that this is being considered. And look, I mean, the

1022
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:05,800
Speaker 2: game is played until literally there's a shovel in the ground,

1023
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 2: or at least until all the documents are signed. Right.

1024
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 2: The game being leverage, the game being our best chance

1025
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 2: to get our best offer from whatever you think you

1026
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:22,240
Speaker 2: can do as a state in the state of Illinois, Chicago,

1027
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 2: land area, et cetera. Is if you think we actually

1028
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 2: are ready to leave, right, that's the game. It's played

1029
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:31,960
Speaker 2: over and over and over again. And that's why I

1030
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 2: don't think you can you can declaratively say they're gone, right,

1031
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 2: But I do think it happens. It's not unprecedented any longer.

1032
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 2: And I don't think in any way, shape or form,

1033
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 2: when Kevin Warren took the job and basically was told

1034
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:51,439
Speaker 2: this is your number one responsibility, I don't think there's

1035
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 2: anything in his mind that said anything other than we're

1036
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 2: going to get it done on the lakefront. We're going

1037
00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 2: to find a way to get it done in the lakefront. Yeah.

1038
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 2: But then he started finding out what it's like to

1039
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 2: negotiate in Chicago, and it's complicated and it's almost some

1040
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:08,760
Speaker 2: would say impossible at this point given all the financial

1041
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 2: realities there. So then you go with, oh, we got

1042
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 2: this land, we bought good good spot passing Tony suburbs

1043
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:22,799
Speaker 2: in and around Arlington Heights, Illinois. Let's pursue that. Obviously

1044
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:27,320
Speaker 2: they haven't gotten enough cooperation on whatever breaks they're looking

1045
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:30,399
Speaker 2: for from the state, even though there allegedly had been

1046
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 2: some progress, and so now they're going with the next step,

1047
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:36,440
Speaker 2: which is all right, Well, Indiana I'm sure has been

1048
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 2: aggressive Indiana. I mean, it's the old deal of you

1049
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:42,359
Speaker 2: know that your only chance, your long shots, your only

1050
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 2: chance is to make the offer so good right that

1051
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 2: ultimately they go, well, we really didn't want to do this,

1052
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 2: but now we got to do this because we don't

1053
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 2: really have another alternative. So we'll see how the thing

1054
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:56,480
Speaker 2: plays out. Because I don't remember like any of the

1055
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:59,759
Speaker 2: times where the Vikings were in these battles, twins are

1056
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:03,360
Speaker 2: in these battles if they ever threaten to move to

1057
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 2: like Hudson, ye had a Hudson or something, I don't

1058
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:09,280
Speaker 2: were there any of those kinds of threats.

1059
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 3: I don't believe, so I don't think so either. Yeah,

1060
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:15,400
Speaker 3: but that would be the alternative, would be the right description.

1061
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 3: I mean literally just going across the.

1062
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:20,280
Speaker 2: Hudson basically, yeah, yeah, exactly, basically that that that would

1063
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 2: be it for for sure. It'll be weird if they

1064
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 2: are there.

1065
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 3: As like you said, all you Illinois natives are telling

1066
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:29,879
Speaker 3: the truth. It's really not that crazy, No, but it's

1067
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 3: just a big department Paologically, it's a big departure. And

1068
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:35,960
Speaker 3: again part of the you know, you could say the

1069
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:37,799
Speaker 3: main reason I know is because I grew up there,

1070
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 3: so I'm aware of the closeness to it, and that

1071
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 3: Northern Indiana is considered part of Chicago Land it has

1072
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 3: been forever and ever. Despite the fact that there is

1073
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 3: a different they are two different states, Indiana and Illinois.

1074
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:54,319
Speaker 2: So Wolve's hoop action coming up on the fan. And
