1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: This is your when do the hated become sympathetic?

2
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: Leader fan fan radio network?

3
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: What do you mean? And k fa N dot com

4
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: I should have probably parenthetically added, if ever on an

5
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: absolutely spring like, almost summer like calm before the first

6
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: of two snonomies, still scheduled for later this week Monday,

7
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: here in the Twin Cities that we affectionately referred to

8
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: as Minneapolis and Saint Louis Park. My name is Dan Barrero,

9
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: speaking to you from Saint Louis Park, host of the

10
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: program formering Saint Retch newspaper of the Twin Cities guards

11
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: he produces the show. He is back from his Sacramento sojourn.

12
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: Did you stay for the Elite eight round or did

13
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: you leave? As snow the year Gopher Club was vanquid?

14
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: We left? What day? Did they play? The team? Right?

15
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: So you probably didn't have an option even if you

16
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: wanted to stay. We left on Saturday. Yeah, got home

17
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon, so the day after the game. Well, it's

18
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: good to have you back, and it's good to be

19
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: Like I said with the Rubes today via the Bradshawn

20
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: Brian Kafean text line at six four six eighty six,

21
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: we've got a powerpacked broadcast. The uglydeck dot com guest

22
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: lineup is outstanding today. We'll give you details on all

23
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: of that as well. Forthwith, as we like to say

24
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: in the business, when do the hated becomes sympathetic? If ever?

25
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: Because I think you probably have to add that clause

26
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: because the when would indicate that at some point the

27
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: hated can become sympathetic, But there may be people who

28
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: say not possible, depending Dan on who and what you

29
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: are referring to.

30
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: In this case, I am referring to the Duke Blue Devils.

31
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: A team that has been routinely despised, a program that's

32
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: been routinely despised now that mainly seemed to come under

33
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: the coach k umbrella.

34
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 2: Sure, but old habits die hard. Hate is a.

35
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: Mighty strong word, but it is hard for people to

36
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: get off it if four years they have felt obligated,

37
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: because I think for a lot of people they feel

38
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: obligated to hate Duke more than they actually do hate Duke.

39
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: And so just because you got a new coach what's

40
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: his name now, Shire John Shire four years in, I

41
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: think so yeah, And I think you'd have to say, overall,

42
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: you know, we had the cliche the other day about

43
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: you don't want to be the coach who succeeds a legend.

44
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: He's done, okay, succeeding a legend, because usually the first

45
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: guy is it's inevitable, he's going to struggle and get fired,

46
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: and then you want to be.

47
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: The guy who replaces the guy who replaced the legend.

48
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: Right the next North Carolina coach, for example, after Hubert Davis.

49
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: That's true, got fired here within the last week. That's

50
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: exactly right. Well, to answer your question, he's done a

51
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: phenomenal shet he's done very well. Yeah, it's hard to

52
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: argue with that. But and I don't know if people

53
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: break out in hives just listening to them the way

54
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: they tended to on Coach k but they're still hatred.

55
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: Does any of it get dissipated when Duke does what

56
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: they did in fairly dramatic fashion in the final Elite

57
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: game of the week Elite eight Weekend Game of the Weekend,

58
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: I should say correct, they blow a I think at

59
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: one point a nineteen point lead to not exactly Cinderella Yukon.

60
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: They are a two seed I think. But nevertheless, you

61
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: got a nineteen point lead, you got double digit lead

62
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: well into the second half. I think, with like even

63
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: under ten minutes to go, and you lose. Duke does

64
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: seventy three to seventy two on a dramatic thirty five

65
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: foot three point shot with zero point four seconds to play.

66
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: Braylon Mullins, I know you'll love this nugget. You probably

67
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: already know it. You know where he grew up, Indiana,

68
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: outside of Indianapolis, just outside of Indianapolis, and he's taking

69
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: them home Indiana, and I you know, we shouldn't.

70
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 2: Leave out he stole.

71
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: The ball, right, he there were two players double teaming.

72
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: Was it which Boozer? Was it Cadena Boozer?

73
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: But it was Mullins who stole it right, tracked it down,

74
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: tracked it down.

75
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 2: I guess I should say.

76
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: He gets the ball and it ends up back in

77
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: his hands after a very unselfish pass, uh, because he

78
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: was It was the right play, because Mullins was more open.

79
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: He hits the three and it's about as stunning a

80
00:04:54,880 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: choke under those conditions for a proud program as you

81
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: can get.

82
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: They lose seventy three to seventy two. So if.

83
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: You lose in that fashion, do the people who hate

84
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: you have a little bit of compassion, a little bit

85
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: of sympathy, or do they or do they actually revel

86
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: in it to a degree that my hatred has been

87
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: rewarded by a delicious you can't make it up way

88
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: to lose, to go along with the other all the

89
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: other less dramatic ways to lose. And so no, I'm

90
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: doubling and tripling down on my hatred. I have no sympathy.

91
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: I don't feel any they're any more human. I don't

92
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: feel like they're anymore less hate worthy for the average

93
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: I hate Duke fan out there.

94
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: Where are they on this? Do you think the latter?

95
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I curate. I think they are reveling. I think

96
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: they are enjoying that, you know, I mean, I love

97
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: getting down on them. Man.

98
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 2: That's that's got to be a tough way to listen

99
00:05:58,880 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: for the average Duke hater.

100
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Now the boozer is getting credit

101
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: for how he's handled the whole situation, or he do

102
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: just talking about, Oh, I've tossed my team this season.

103
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: I wish I would have just held it by the

104
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: whole bit. He Yeah, I'm surprised Johnny Athletic didn't tweet

105
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: about it, but he faced the music and faced the

106
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: media after a very difficult loss. I'm surprised that John

107
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: Athletic didn't make note of that at given his history. Yes,

108
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: so he's getting I think some sympathy, empathy, whatever you

109
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: want to call it, the Duke brand in general, I

110
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: have seen very little of that. I've seen very little.

111
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: Are there any examples that people can come up with

112
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: via the Bradshawn Bryant and Bradshaw'm right cafe and text

113
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: line that says, yeah, this actually did I hated so

114
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: and so, or I hated this team, but I actually

115
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: did feel a little little sorry for them under those circumstances.

116
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: I'd have to think about it. Who dot Com is

117
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: the bread Brian kaffe in text line which I'm trying

118
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: to reboot as we speak, because I got to believe

119
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: there might be well, Sadly, my guess is what people

120
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: are going to come up with is death Right, which

121
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: is sad, but that that yeah, well, you know, somebody

122
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: died on the team and I did feel kind of

123
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: bad about that. That's kind of tragic, you know, But

124
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm guessing short of death Who said it?

125
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: Which assistant said it. Former Gopher assistant hates a mighty

126
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: strong word, but it's I want that act. It's powerful

127
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: for people. They a lot of people they they they

128
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: pretend that's not a I never use that word, or

129
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: I don't believe in that's kind of and then you

130
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: find out, well, yeah they do.

131
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 2: They just don't want to.

132
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: They're performative and pretending that they're different from anybody else

133
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: in that regard. So if you have any examples of

134
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: any and if you are a du cater, which is it,

135
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: because I tend to think like you that it's no,

136
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: they're this is like, this is as good a day

137
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: for ducators as you could possibly get. I don't one thing.

138
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: I want that damn act there it is. Didn't have

139
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: hate though, Yeah that's okay, I just started. It's context.

140
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: It's context to it. I know it's there somewhere because

141
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: you've played it a bunch of I know it's got

142
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: to be there. We'll find it, for sure. It's one

143
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: of many questions I would like to ask today and

144
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: be answered today, of many different largely toy department topics.

145
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: That's the first one. Another one I want is to

146
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time on is of the two

147
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: Winter Sports pro teams, which is closer in your mind

148
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: to defcon One for concern heading into the postseason is

149
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: that the Timberwolves, who, by the way, confirmed another injury

150
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: update that seems to suggest Jade McDaniels isn't gonna come

151
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 1: back for a while. He's gonna be it's the old

152
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: week to week evaluation. Now two in the season, that's true,

153
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: And I believe we got eight games left and six

154
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: on the road, and you can give up catching Denver

155
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: or two behind Denver, which means worth three behind Denver,

156
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: right if that matters to you, And I know we're

157
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: cocky about we can always beat Denver, which has suddenly

158
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: won six in a row. By the way, they've been

159
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: very up and down this year. They don't guard. But

160
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: we'll get to that later. I want that question answered.

161
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: Which are the two Winner Sports teams in free fall

162
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: relatively speaking? Right now? Are you concerned about the most

163
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: because they're both making the postseason. Maybe you'll say neither.

164
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll say this is nonsense, This is just regular

165
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: season obsessing that will go away. We just need the

166
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: postseason for both teams to start. One other question, yesterday,

167
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: the Twins played where in Baltimore? Correct?

168
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 2: Yes, it was the final game of a three game series.

169
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 2: Is that correct?

170
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: Yes, they finally scored some runs. The first game we won. No,

171
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: the first game we lost, second game we won. That

172
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: means the third game represented what's called the rubber game

173
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: of the series. Here's what I want to know. We've

174
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: all grown up with that term. Why is that the

175
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: rubber game? Why is the decisive game known as the

176
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: rubber game of the series?

177
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 2: How did that start? Do you know?

178
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: I don't. I just went with it at me too.

179
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: So that's a third question, and I'm hoping to get

180
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: that might be the easiest to answer historically, but as

181
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: a it's a Monday program filled with questions.

182
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 2: That's the objective today.

183
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 1: We've already thrown out three and we will throw out

184
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: a few more before this program wraps up. Let's get

185
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: our first break in now, Brad Shawn Brian Cafe in

188
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: may feel like seventy two degrees today, but two snonamis

Speaker 1: Thursday and Saturday.

190
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,160

203
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: the Wolves taking on the Maverick.

204
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 2: Speaking of Duke, is there, Star Dukie?

205
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: Is he back yet? I don't even know. I mean,

206
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: I've paid real attention Cooper Flag to the Mavericks lately.

207
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: I have don't either let me check or did they

208
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: shut him down? Well, we'll find out for sure. By

209
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: the way, I've got a couple of texts on this.

210
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: I had not been checking x today because it's been

211
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: a busy morning and afternoon for me. But let me

212
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,239
Speaker 1: clear up the great what sounds like the great coffee

213
00:11:54,559 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: Mike coffee controversy. I plead one guilty. Here's what happened

214
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: on Sermons. I had a cold, fufu latte. Okay, And ordinarily,

215
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: the way the microwave works, if you put it on reheat,

216
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: it will the at least the microwave I was used to,

217
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: it will shut off on its own before it like explodes.

218
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: Oh right, so I did that before the first segment

219
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: of Sermons. Well, this particular microwave didn't stop. So when

220
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: I opened the door, latte was everywhere. It was a

221
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: complete dogs and cats libty.

222
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 2: It's just a complete disaster.

223
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: Okay.

224
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 2: Well, I started the cleanup.

225
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: I found I couldn't find twenty that I found some napkins.

226
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 2: But I didn't complete it.

227
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: One hundred percent true, intending at the end of the

228
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: show to say, well, I got to finish the cleanup.

229
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: I got the guts of the coffee out, but it's

230
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: still kind of there's still some remnants of it. There's

231
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: still a cup. And by the way, as I say,

232
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: I don't think I covered my tracks very well because

233
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 1: I think it on the side of the cup it

234
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: said Dan. So it wasn't me really trying to get

235
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: away with anything. It was me literally trying to rush

236
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: out of here to do a couple of other things

237
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: and forgetting So, yes, I raise my hand. I take

238
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 1: full responsibility, full accountability. I don't know what else you want, Yeah,

239
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean do I I could bring into

240
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: a bunch of coffee for people, or I could go

241
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: on clean up detail every day with a microwave or something.

242
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I think it still works, I hope.

243
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, so because apparently this came up earlier in

244
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 1: the day somewhere people were trying to figure out what

245
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: they all happen to it. That's it, one hundred percent me.

246
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: I'm not running from it, shall we say? And as

247
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: I said I, it's what I did was a partial

248
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: cleanup with the intent. Well, there's not a lot of

249
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: time in during the show. Our brakes are relatively tight

250
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: four to five minutes. So I'll start getting the slop

251
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: out of there when I can, and then I will

252
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: come back, get rid of the cup, get rid of

253
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: the evidence that I did it at least, and then

254
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: also try to continue to the cleanup as well. That's

255
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: I wish there's more to there would be more to

256
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: the story, because I know it's not very controversial that way,

257
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: but that's pretty much the truth of it.

258
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 2: I'm a huge Packer.

259
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: Fan, but was at both Vikings games where they lost

260
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: due to choking on field goals ninety eight in the

261
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: cold game at the Gopher Stadium where the kicker badly

262
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: missed a chip shot to Loci Seattle. I did feel

263
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: a little bad for the Purple. I mean, I wanted

264
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: them to lose, but both times it felt a little

265
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: like Lucy pulling the ball away from Charlie Brown. You

266
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: gotta feel a little sorry for the losing side in

267
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: a game like that. Now that's a sports fan with

268
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: unusual compassion, because I'm guessing yeah, most Packer fans would say,

269
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: oh my god, no, that made it even more delicious,

270
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: Same as the way Duke ends up blowing a nineteen

271
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: point lead. I know how I feel when the Packers

272
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: lose in cataclysmic fashion. Yes, like they just did to

273
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: your Bears this past postseason, and you reveled in it.

274
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: I absolutely reveled in it. Yes, Traditionally I've been a

275
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: Duke hater, right six one two guy. However, since coach

276
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: k retired. My mind has not yet created an identity

277
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: for the current Duke program until they've re established the

278
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: domins they've had. I don't think of them quite the

279
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: same way that said. Yukon's coach seems like he might

280
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: be one of the top ten most obnoxious people on

281
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: the planet. I was greatly enjoying him be right the

282
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: refs in the sideline when Duke was up by twenty

283
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: and nothing was working for Yukon. Yeah, like the Wolves

284
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: game last week, I turned it off before it was over,

285
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: assuming one outcome only be shocked the other had indeed happened.

286
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 2: That's a great point.

287
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: What if you hate the other guy as much or

288
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: close to it, Maybe not for the same reasons, but

289
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: because which, to Hurley is this one? Danny Hurley has

290
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: reached a point of borderline absurdity when it comes to

291
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: sideline demeanor involving refs. Correct. It's interesting how, depending on

292
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: the time of year and maybe opponent, people are discussing

293
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: his behavior. Yes, remember when he had the absolute meltdown

294
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: in Maui when I think they lost three games in

295
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: a row and he was yelling at the refs and

296
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: calling himself the best coach in the game, come over

297
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: and talk to me. He was a complete child, But

298
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: now that's kind of even changed with people they going, well, yeah, yeah,

299
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: he's a little over the top sometimes. But was that

300
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: because of the amount of winning It could be. Yeah,

301
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying that's a good reason, but

302
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: or maybe we just don't. I don't know what the

303
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: reason is, but it's just been interesting to monitor. Yeah,

304
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: what we think is okay from him as opposed to

305
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: some others. I love the irony of that kind of

306
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: shot happening against Christian Latner's alma mater. I could see

307
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: him walking through the locker room going loser, loser, loser.

308
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: It's called the rubber game because it could bounce either,

309
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: so several people are saying that's what that term comes from.

310
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: Rubber game comes from the sixteenth century lawn bowling, right

311
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: where one team would rub out the other one another

312
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 1: slightly different note. On a slightly different note, Minnesota born

313
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: and Brett now living in North Carolina in the middle

314
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: of North Carolina and see State Duke wake Forest and others.

315
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: For me, it's the time to rejoice because they're all gone.

316
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 1: I guess he doesn't like any of them rubber game

317
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: comes from Bridge. You need to take two games and

318
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 1: when it's tied one one, you play the last game

319
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: for the rubber That sounds more persuasive to me.

320
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,479
Speaker 2: That's yeah in Roseville. Is that what you're picking up?

321
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 2: That is what?

322
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: Yes, Now lawn bowling is part of it, but they Yeah,

323
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: it traces back to the sixteenth century English game of

324
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: los bowling. Right, you said that already, they've got the

325
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: rubout part. You've mentioned that already. It's kind of both

326
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: in terms of the synopsis that that I'm finding here. Yeah,

327
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Actually both Hurley is the new Jackass

328
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: worthy of hate. So that's that is where it gets

329
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: a little more compelling hate against hate, you know where

330
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: you may even be different reasons, or you might not

331
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: have hated Hurley for as long as you dated the

332
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: Duke brand hated the Duke brand. But I just could

333
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: say it's all the same thing. I'm going back through

334
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: the text. They're like twenty microwave related. And honestly, until

335
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: I got in here, people think, well, I know you know,

336
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: I mean, I know you know people know I Honestly,

337
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: I can say I can swear on a Bible. I

338
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 1: did not know that in any conversation about it. But

339
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 1: I'm not running from it. So I'll do we need

340
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: a new microwave, I'll buy a new microwave.

341
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 2: Is it dead?

342
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: Is that the accusation beyond this being a mess? Is

343
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: it no longer functioning? Well, here's what I'll say. I

344
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: had no idea about any of this until you brought

345
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: it up. Yeah, and I didn't, like I said I,

346
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: I only learned it via the text line. I don't know.

347
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 1: I mean, I love that people live and die with

348
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: our radio station and they listen all day. It doesn't

349
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 1: mean all this who work your have to either? So no,

350
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 1: but there's no Do they want me like to to

351
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: deny it? Is that a better story? So that then

352
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: I could be accused of fabric like lying and not

353
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: taking my favorite you. Actually, you shouldn't be apologizing. You

354
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: should be saying you're welcome to common for giving him

355
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 1: two hours today. That's what you should say. According to

356
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: at least one texter, you should be saying you're welcome. Yeah,

357
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: there's nothing more ominous to it than that, you know.

358
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: That's pretty much all I can tell you, Dan, I

359
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: very much, just like Duke, I am singing Ding Dong

360
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: the Witch is dead, taking a page out of the

361
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: Democrats playbook. Dan not addressing the microwave controversy. It's it's

362
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 1: the I guess it's who knew it be political? Caden

363
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: Boozer made one of the most boneheaded plays I've ever seen. Time,

364
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 1: score and possession, the most important thing in the game.

365
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: Ten seconds left. There weren't there weren't gonna be a

366
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: ten second violation. They should all know this, and Shire

367
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: more than likely communicated this to them. Cayden either heard

368
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: this and completely freaked out or didn't hear it at all.

369
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: All he has to do is hold the ball and

370
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: he gets fouled. It's like watching Green Bay versus Dallas.

371
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: Who cares what the microwave? Yeah so he did two

372
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: hours on this? Well then yeah, then then that's exactly

373
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: that they should be thanking me.

374
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 2: For sure.

375
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: You have been implicated in a very curb your enthusiasm

376
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: mask crime. Uh to me, that's another one microwave related

377
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 1: I nerve, Yeah, it obviously did. I just want to

378
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: thank Dan for Frank breaking out the Minneapolis and Saint

379
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 1: Louis Park intro. It's been too long. I'm not from here,

380
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: but I listened for it every episode for whatever reason. Lol,

381
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: And he hasn't done it in forever that I've heard.

382
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: It's a small stupid thing, but I cheered when he

383
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: said it when it was said today, That's what I

384
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: tried to do. That's exactly what I try to do.

385
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: I try to give the masses precisely what you want.

386
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 2: Um clean the microwave, Dan, what the hell? Do the

387
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 2: right thing?

388
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: And open with a confession and apology. Glad you had

389
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: the ice cream. Your blood sugar seemed low because you

390
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: were repeating still, No, that's common. Oh, or where it's now?

391
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: We're at two fifty three, so this goes back to common.

392
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 1: Apparently I haven't heard any well. I guess people have

393
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 1: come up with a couple of examples of where they

394
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 1: felt a little sorry for a team they hated.

395
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 2: But if there are more, keep those texts coming.

396
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: Via the Bradshawn Bryant KFN text line six four six

397
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: eight six. Did you see Mark Rosen's cat will his tweet? No?

398
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 1: Check out his tweet from about one hour ago that reads,

399
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: it was Barrero in the break room with a coffee

400
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: cup and I don't know how he did it. But

401
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: he he found a way to uh to do it.

402
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: But was there really that much detective work involved? If

403
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: the cup if the I didn't even I think, like

404
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: I said, I don't even threw away the cup because

405
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: I was going to go back. And I think it

406
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: said Dan on it, although I guess it's possible it

407
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: didn't direct how much detection would you need that much

408
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 1: because I'm on Sunday.

409
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 2: Well, I guess you could have.

410
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: Said there was a one hour edition of worst case scenario?

411
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: Do they have a Dan? I don't think they had.

412
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: All Again, I'm not one hundred percent sure the cup

413
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: said Dan. I think it did.

414
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 2: I'm sure that was part of her keel piros.

415
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: Detecting that he did between noon and noon and.

416
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 2: Three o'clock, that's for sure.

417
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: Spilling twelve ounces of coffee, well, first of all, let

418
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: me just quickly say that if that's being alleged, that's

419
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 1: a bit of an exaggeration because most of the coffee

420
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: had been stopped up to scattering a dozen.

421
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 2: He equates it to.

422
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: Scattering a dozen hits and leaving a mess like with

423
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: the bases loaded for the next picture.

424
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 2: Thank you for the full pelf.

425
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: Is what Clayton indeed says, all right, let's keep on schedule.

426
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 1: We'll make this the bottom of the hour break. John Athletic

427
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 1: from Dallas. The news discouraging for the Wolves. They get

428
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: killed by Detroit the other day, and they also we

429
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 1: get an update on another injury, making it seem as

430
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 1: if that Jaden is not going to be back anytime

431
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: real soon. Right, they've upped his injury after I believe

432
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: it was it an MRI, some sort of resonance testing

433
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 1: kind of a thing. Anthony Edwards, on the good side,

434
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 1: is scheduled back tonight. That's why our four h two guests,

435
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: John Athletic zip is zipping or has already zipped into Dallas, Texas.

436
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: The other question on the table, and I'm curious that

437
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: which way you go on this? Are you which of

438
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: the Winter Sports teams heading to the playoffs are you

439
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: more worried about? Right now? You can say neither, you

440
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: can say both, although I'd rather you take a stand

441
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 1: on one concerning you a little more than the other.

442
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: I don't feel great about either one of them, but

443
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: I do have an opinion on which I'm more concerned

444
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: with at this given situation. So let's get a quick

445
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: pause in We'll come back and get to more texts

446
00:24:39,520 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: and more controversy when we return. Somebody said there was

447
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: a Dan on fan outdoors this weekend. I could try

448
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: to throw somebody else under the bus, but I think

449
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 1: it's too late for that. Right, you're already on record.

450
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: You're already fessing up.

451
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 2: Dan.

452
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: The worst of the micro worst thing about the microwave

453
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: ruffle is you do not get to enjoy your latte.

454
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 2: That's true.

455
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 1: It was good.

456
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 2: It literally I think you're the victim here.

457
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 1: It literally spilled everywhere you left common under nutrition. He

458
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: couldn't warm his lunch because of the microwave. This was

459
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: the crux of it. Well, if you look around a

460
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,719
Speaker 1: little bit, there's another microwave just in the other you know,

461
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: like basically opposite your cubicle.

462
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, microwave right there. You just look around and open

463
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 2: your eyes a little bit. Wouldn't be that difficult to uh,

464
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 2: but I get it.

465
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: There's no fun in that anything to fill the program.

466
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 2: So who are you? Who are you.

467
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: More worried about right now?

468
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 2: If either, if you want to say neither.

469
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: I were just meandering a little bit because it's the

470
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: nature of the marathon of a regular season. Well, it's

471
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 1: kind of neither but also both, Like I have big

472
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: concerns about both of them. If I had to pick, sadly,

473
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: I think it would be my Minnesota Timberwolves. Really, I

474
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: think it would be my Wolves. It just doesn't feel

475
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 1: something doesn't feel right now. Are they just, especially with

476
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: these injuries, being cautious and biding their time and just

477
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 1: letting everybody get healthy for the stretch run and obviously

478
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: the playoffs is starting a couple of weeks. I just

479
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: feel like they're not going to be able to pull

480
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: it off like they have the last couple of years.

481
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: And when I say pulled off last year, they kind

482
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 1: of pulled it off. Two years ago. They were a

483
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 1: great team, right the first Western Conference Finals team. They

484
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: were the number one seed the whole year until Carl

485
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: got hurt. They lost some games, they ended up with

486
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: the three seed. We know what happened in Denver, Like

487
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: that was a legit squad. Last year they kind of

488
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: meandered and had a great first round series, got some

489
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: help in the second round, Like they had to pull

490
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: something last year. I felt like, I don't know if

491
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 1: they can pull it off like they like they did

492
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 1: last year. We're two years ago. They were outstanding pretty

493
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: much from start to finish. I can't argue with any

494
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: of your thinking. I still think I lean more worried

495
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: about the hockey team.

496
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 2: For two reasons.

497
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 1: One is the unavoidable fact that there is no This

498
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: group as a group has zero postseason track record. That

499
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you can't make a big jump, but it's

500
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 1: just not there to fall back on in a way

501
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: that I still do kind of cling to with the Wolves,

502
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: even if I pretty strongly agree with a lot of

503
00:27:54,000 --> 00:28:00,360
Speaker 1: the concerns that you just mentioned. Maybe I'll ask I'll

504
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 1: put it this way, I think I would be more

505
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: surprised still if the Wolves didn't get out of at

506
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: least Round one that at the Wild don't get out

507
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: around one, And some of that might have to do

508
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: with who each team would be playing. Yeah, it appears

509
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 1: although right now, you know, right now, let's say it's

510
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: gonna be Denver and Denver I've been bad mouthing late,

511
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: you know, like for much of the season. But remember

512
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: they've won six in a row, and they have legitimate

513
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 1: excuses regarding injuries, yes, that we have not had, which

514
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: is why it's kind of silly for us to try

515
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 1: to raise that flag at this late date, I still think,

516
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: and here's the other thing I worry about with the Wild.

517
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: Our offensive numbers are through the roof since getting Quinnesota correct,

518
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: but our defensive numbers aren't as good.

519
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 2: And that doesn't mean I'm putting it all.

520
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: On him, but I do have a little bit of

521
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: that nagging concern that we're getting we got a little

522
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: too crazy with our explosiveness and then maybe went away

523
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: from the solid defensive core of on most nights what.

524
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 2: We were going, what we were doing when we were winning.

525
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: So I worry about that getting that back, whatever that

526
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: balance is that you're looking for between offense and defense.

527
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: And I've sort of let the Wild off the hook

528
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: about well, really their positioning is kind of locked in.

529
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: But the truth is, if they had been playing better,

530
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: including that stretch was did we lose three or four

531
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: to at home to non playoff teams.

532
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 2: We could probably still.

533
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: Be threatening to catch Dallas for at least home ice. Right.

534
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 2: Yes, So maybe I've.

535
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: Been a little too easy, said, well, what do they

536
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: really have to play for at this point? Well that

537
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: became a little so fulfilling in part because since the

538
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: Olympic break. We're basically a five hundred team, and that's

539
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: not an extended number of games, right, That's not five games,

540
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: that's eight games anymore.

541
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 2: So I think I lean.

542
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: I still lean lean Wild, even even if there's a

543
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: lot of alarm bells that are worth discussing related to

544
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Timberwolves. For sure, I'll be curious to get

545
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: John's Well, I know what Johnny's position is going to be. Yeah, right,

546
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna feel I mean, he's got He's never going

547
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: to give the Wild any credit, whether they deserve it

548
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: or not. Correct. Correct, that's kind of the bit that

549
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: he has to do. Correct And but the injury thing

550
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: with the Wolves worries me a little bit moving forward here.

551
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: Jaye McDaniels is an important piece, undeniable, and that that

552
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: can take you off the hook. Now, it does not

553
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: excuse what we've talked about for months, but it can't

554
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: affect what even you can do in the first round

555
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: of the playoffs if he's not right. But you're right, yeah,

556
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: big time. He's a huge piece of it.

557
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 2: And where where is Desumu scheduled back?

558
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: He has been upgraded to back in I believe is Okay, yeah,

559
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,239
Speaker 1: Ant was still questionable, but then everybody expects him to play, right,

560
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: Maybe I have that reversed, but I'm pretty sure Ioh

561
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: is getting ready to play. Yeah, And you know, I

562
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: guess you could still even worry a little bit about

563
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: Edwards even though he's back, I mean, and has tended

564
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: to be pretty resilient physically speaking. Does he have one

565
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: of those chronic situations now that might rear their heads?

566
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: And I believe here's the other thing I believe in

567
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: our we have in our eight games left, I think

568
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: we've got a pair of road back to backs left,

569
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: which also doesn't help the injury situation if you're trying

570
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: to be cautious on Edwards and or you know, and

571
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: maybe it'd affect how quickly Jayden might be able to

572
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,959
Speaker 1: come back as well. So we played Detroit and Philly

573
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: back to back Thursday and Friday. We play Indiana and

574
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: Orlando back to back next Tuesday and Wednesday. The worry, yeah, Like,

575
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: I think there's legitimate worries with both teams, but they

576
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: just might be different worries. You could you could be

577
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: down on the why on the Wolves not necessarily because

578
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: you don't think they have it in them if they

579
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: have everybody, even in a year where they've been kind

580
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: of inconsistent, but that if they don't have everybody, that

581
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: pretty much makes their situation worries yea. And in case

582
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: of the Wild I think it'd be more like, well,

583
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: what do they really got that they don't The feel

584
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: isn't real good right now from from the from Bill

585
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: garon on down in terms of the way they're playing,

586
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: Capri sas not playing great right So it's more that

587
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: on their on their side, then well they they're not

588
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: even going to have their whole team. The Wolves for

589
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: the first time run the risk of not even having

590
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: their whole team or not their whole team at one

591
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: hundred percent, and whoever you're playing, and again they're pretty

592
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,719
Speaker 1: much I guess I haven't looked at where Houston at

593
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: Houston six right now? I so, yes, what's the gap

594
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: between us and Houston? I believe there isn't any Okay, well,

595
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: we have the same record, but I guess it's possible

596
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: we could fall all the way to six. And then

597
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: you're talking about likely. I don't think. I don't think

598
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: Denver can catch the Lakers. E The Lakers have a

599
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: bit of a gap. Don't they about two games on

600
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: the Lakers? They have two games in the loss column

601
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: and two games in hand. I believe yeah, because Denver's

602
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: played a couple of more games than them. Dan, it'll

603
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: be quick for Stan exits for both teams with that attitude,

604
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: that would be a downer, would it not? No seasonal boost?

605
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 2: Did you see.

606
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: Danny Hurley head butt a ref after Yukon hit the

607
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: winning three? Yeah? What is wrong with him? That's Marty

608
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:19,239
Speaker 1: and Richfield. Now I did see it, now that I

609
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 1: don't recommend it, but I don't think there was anything

610
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: about that that falls into the classification of Hurley's hot. Again,

611
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: he's being a jerk with the refs, and he didn't

612
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: mind headbutting the ref, right he's claiming, I mean it

613
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: almost Is there such a thing as looking like an

614
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: affectionate headbutt?

615
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 2: I didn't.

616
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: I wasn't offended by it the way you're supposed to

617
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: be offended whenever Danny Hurley does anything with the referees, right,

618
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: But maybe that's because he has, with blunt force trauma,

619
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: desensitized us to normal behavior, like Raymond Green, like Luca. Yes, yeah,

620
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: it might be right, that's very true in a vacuum.

621
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: Well they did it was anybody clamoring for technical file

622
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: to be called on him for the head butt? And

623
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: people have said it's get a lesser ref. And I

624
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 1: think it was your guy, Roger Ayres has been around forever, right.

625
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: Is that a ref that maybe didn't get the bit

626
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: as much or didn't understand the moment as much, could

627
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 1: have called him, could have called it technical on him. Yeah.

628
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: I don't think it would. I mean, it seems unlikely,

629
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: but it's also pretty risky. Keith from Apple Valley Dan

630
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:31,399
Speaker 1: ruined the microwave, Rudy's flag flagrants need to behave will

631
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: Wild Twins Wins, We crave wolves in five and mangled

632
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: that one. Here's the other thing. I don't think it's ruined.

633
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,399
Speaker 1: I just you know, there's the plate that you got

634
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:44,760
Speaker 1: to put back on it. In it Yeah, unless somebody,

635
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: I mean, is it I'm gonna you know, I'm gonna

636
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: do I have called I have another lot today I

637
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: need to heat up, so this one I will just

638
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: put in for a minute.

639
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 2: I'm gonna monitor it.

640
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: In this case, I would see, but I'm gonna find

641
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: out if it's actually unworkable or people are just too

642
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: lazy to like put. If you're that desperate despite my

643
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,399
Speaker 1: reckless behavior, don't you just put the plate on air

644
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: and hit the button and see if it's find a circle,

645
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: find a way, or you find the other microwave.

646
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 2: It's like ten feet away.

647
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: Well, I'm like twenty five feet away. I'm the Wolves

648
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: and Wild. Yes, here's one thing I'll throw into the mix. Okay,

649
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: Longer term, I'm also very worried about the Wolves, just

650
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 1: as championship contenders, more than I am the Wild. I

651
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: feel like the Wild can continue to get closer to

652
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 1: the Cup.

653
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 2: I don't disagree with that.

654
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: And I feel like, well, first of all, there's still

655
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City, They're still Boston. Wenby's about to take over

656
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 1: the whole damn thing, including the Olympics with France in

657
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight. Yes, Wemby's coming for all the smoke,

658
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: it appears. So that worries me long term as well.

659
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 1: And I remember saying that at the time when they

660
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,879
Speaker 1: lost to Dallas, that may have been the best chance

661
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 1: this group had as stupid as that's the first year

662
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 1: that they're there, because you just never know what you're

663
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: going to get back there, and there's so many good teams.

664
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: Here's the key. The key is whether the president of

665
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: basketball Operations agrees with you, because I think that makes

666
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: it likely. And again, it all depends on how it

667
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: goes this year. If they make another run similar to

668
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: the last two and even disappoint again against let's say

669
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City whoever, I don't know that you necessarily break

670
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: it up.

671
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 2: But let's say they lose in five in the first.

672
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 1: Round, or they're not even competitive, or let's just say

673
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: they lose a first round series, we expect him to

674
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 1: win that. I think all along felt that he absolutely

675
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: wanted to make another big move because the suspicion was

676
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 1: there were limits to what this group could do. But

677
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: that's the key. Where does Tim ktt What does he

678
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: think in that sense? Because it could very well be true.

679
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: I still like to go with the cliche, as long

680
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 1: as you have Anthony Edwards, you have a chip, no chance,

681
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: especially if you get lucky with somebody emerging, you know,

682
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: some kid, some do we have any first round pick

683
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: slept or.

684
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 2: Are they all traded away? I don't know if you

685
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 2: have any of this.

686
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody just becomes a monster overnight or even two

687
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: years down the road that I think there's that that's

688
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 1: the X factor. As long as you still have Anthony Edwards.

689
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 1: I think the elephant in the room for this team

690
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: is always going to be even in a league that's

691
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: less about two stars and everybody else than he used

692
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: to be. It's about depth. Can you win a championship

693
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: if on a regular basis, Julius Randall is supposed to

694
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: be your number two. I still don't buy it. I

695
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: and that's no offense to him, because he can be

696
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: very good. There aren't that many two's out there. I

697
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 1: still think Kad is closer to a two than Julius. Now,

698
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: we don't have to relive that trade they got Evenson.

699
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: You've got two players, You've got two virtual starters in return.

700
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: But that's that's got to be into the equation and

701
00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: the other to your point, the wild that we think

702
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 1: garn has the probably he's gonna have the opportunity for

703
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: one more big trade that brings in another big piece.

704
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: The Wolves don't have that as currently constituted. When I

705
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 1: say trade in Garren's case would probably be free agency,

706
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 1: I think we think the Wolves, I don't think have

707
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 1: any free agency big moves left to make. So if

708
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: they make a big move, it would have to be

709
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: a trade. And I honestly, I'm convinced they will revisit

710
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: on your honis he'll get because he'll be healthier again.

711
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: And I and there may be some others they look

712
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: at that become available, name players that have kind of

713
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: worn out their welcome where they are. So I think

714
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: all those things are what makes it interesting too. I

715
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: guess sort of monitor where this thing goes and how

716
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: it goes. I mean, we're at least in a position

717
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: where both teams are in the postseason. As we said,

718
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 1: in this town is a luxury. It's it's it's assumed

719
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: in many major sports markets, but not so much here.

720
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: So at least you have a shot. Scott Foster would

721
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 1: have called a technical on Hurley Edy to Ed molloy

722
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:11,359
Speaker 1: as well, it's not like your Starbucks cup was made

723
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:12,919
Speaker 1: of metal. It just needs a good cleaning. This station

724
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:17,439
Speaker 1: is so awesome that the bit can last basically all day. Dan.

725
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 2: One more thing in the microwave deal.

726
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: There's got to be an ambulance chasing lawyer out there

727
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: who will sue the microwave manufacturer on your behalf. I

728
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:24,959
Speaker 1: think you mentioned that didn't work the way it should

729
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 1: have on the reheat setting PS. You might beat Commons

730
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: two hours on this. Yeah, I was surprised. I mean,

731
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: I thought previously it's the old it's sense. It's because

732
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 1: it says reheat sense sensing, So I thought that means

733
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: what kind of gets a feeling? Okay, this is pretty

734
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: close to hot. We're shutting her down. And then I

735
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: started the segment, the first segment of the show. I

736
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,959
Speaker 1: take the break at nine to twelve. I come back

737
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 1: and I go, oh my god, everywhere, it's everywhere. I

738
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: guess I'm lucky. It wasn't the fire. I don't know.

739
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 1: Could could have. But although the up not flammable, is it?

740
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: I didn't have the top on because you're not supposed

741
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 1: to have the top on hones rightly, you tried to

742
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: follow that rule, I at least attempt to buy by that.

743
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: Bye bye by that rule.

744
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 2: All right, let's uh, well we still have a little

745
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 2: bit of time. Let me get to a couple more texts.

746
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: Oh, regarding the wolves future, isn't the rumor that with

747
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: the expansion, the Wolves might move to the Eastern Easier

748
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference in a couple of years that's five oh

749
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: seven to three, five two to six point two. Guys, Yeah,

750
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: that's true. We've talked about it. That won't be next year.

751
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 1: That would probably be the year after if they indeed

752
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: expand as expected, and that probably does have to be

753
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 1: taken under consideration. Uh, they're not the only team lobbying

754
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: for it. A lot of the national people believe the

755
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: Wolves are close to the top of the list, and

756
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 1: I think some of the reason is to the credit

757
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: of the franchise in this case. Despite the frustrations we're

758
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: talking about right now, they're viewed as a successful team,

759
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: and the feeling is we got to get another good

760
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: team in the East because we don't have enough.

761
00:40:58,200 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 2: There's an imbalance.

762
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: Let's move a That's I'm sure why nobody wants to

763
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: move Memphis or New Orleans, right, They go, well, we're

764
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 1: looking for more balanced. Sure, at least the Wolves have

765
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: that going for them. They're viewed as a viable franchise,

766
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: even if there's some frustration about where we are at

767
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: this point. I mentioned one of the days, I think

768
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:21,839
Speaker 1: it was Friday. Did you have you seen the expansion

769
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,240
Speaker 1: numbers to get into the league, what the estimates are?

770
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: If you want to own an NBA expansion team and

771
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: get in, like you want to be the Vegas owner,

772
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: or you want to be the Seattle owner and you

773
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 1: want to come into the league. I assume it's at

774
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: least seven billion. It's I've read numbers anywhere from seven

775
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 1: to ten billion. The ten sounds high given that's what

776
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,959
Speaker 1: the Lakers are just purchased for I think correct. Let's

777
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 1: say it's eight billion, two teams, which I think is

778
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:59,919
Speaker 1: still likely. That's sixteen billion divided by thirty existing teams. Yeah,

779
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: pretty good. So for Mark Lori and a Rod that's

780
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 1: another half a billion dollars that goes just to you.

781
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 2: The players don't share in that.

782
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 1: So if you're My theory Friday was, if Glenn Taylor

783
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,720
Speaker 1: is still depressed about selling the team at a bargain

784
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: basement price, yes, and then losing the arbitration battle, imagine

785
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: how sick he must be now that the guys who

786
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: bought the team from for what was at one five,

787
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: one six, I mean one third of that is they're

788
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: already recouping one third of that immediately. If indeed two

789
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,240
Speaker 1: teams come in and let's just say against eight billion,

790
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: if it's ten there's even more. The other people that

791
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: are sick to their stomachs are I would imagine the

792
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 1: season ticket account executives who have to take all the

793
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 1: cancelations when they keep jacking up the prices. Well, yeah,

794
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,800
Speaker 1: we're about to get five hundred million. Yeah, we couldn't

795
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:56,959
Speaker 1: hold off on this. I mean, that's a good chunk

796
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: of change. It's a nice deal, isn't it.

797
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 2: I mean, ten years ago, could have bought the whole team.

798
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 1: I just I mean, you got to really have a

799
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 1: lot of money and really want to get into this

800
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: this league. Yeah right, I mean it's got nowadays. Really

801
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 1: you have to have a couple of people with a

802
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: lot of money, you do, probably and a group and

803
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 1: these equity firms that are buying all of these teams.

804
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: There's groups now that are helping finance a lot of

805
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: this stuff. They're making they're making out. Okay, don't look now,

806
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 1: but the NBA East is quickly catching up to the West.

807
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:27,720
Speaker 2: Well I think the East is better.

808
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: But okay, let's let's just ask it this way and

809
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: maybe ponder this over the over the break and maybe

810
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: we even get into this with with Johnny Athletic Dayline

811
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: Dallas at four oh two Bermuda shorts. So if you

812
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 1: put them right now, you put the Wolves in the

813
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference. Forget records. I'm just talking about. You just

814
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: have them in the Eastern Conference. How high, how close

815
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: to the top do you have them? Do you have

816
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 1: them the best in theory I'm talking about, forgetting about records.

817
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 2: Have them right below Boston?

818
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: Because the Boston story has been so absurd.

819
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 2: Do you have them?

820
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: What about? I mean, how would you? How about what

821
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,439
Speaker 1: the knicks I have? I would have them right below.

822
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: I think I would too. And maybe we're sliding the

823
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: Pistons because they're kind of money. By the way, again,

824
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 1: I think, I know you've always been a big, bigger

825
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 1: staff guy. That that's an easy team to root for

826
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: because I don't know how much of that game you

827
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 1: got to see. I saw none of it. I was

828
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 1: on a plane. You're on the plane. Yeah, again, we

829
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 1: were missing pieces.

830
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 2: I get that.

831
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:38,280
Speaker 1: I love their their style of defense, man, I I

832
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: I The question on them is where they have enough

833
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: scoring and whether Kate Cunningham is going to be back

834
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: healthy enough.

835
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 2: But I they're relentless. That relentless.

836
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 1: He has got them, he is he has sold them

837
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 1: on a kind of play that I think is pretty unique.

838
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 1: They're not the only great defensive team, but the way

839
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 1: they do it, the activity that they're involved in the the.

840
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 2: I think they're a very very easy team to root for.

841
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 1: Top of the hour break Johnny Athletic traveling to Dallas

842
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 1: because it's the return of we believe Anthony Edwards. So

843
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: we'll get to him on that and a couple of

844
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: other controversial subjects, including whether it's a done deal that

845
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 1: the Wolves would be moved East. I don't think we've

846
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,319
Speaker 1: talked about that with Johnny recently. Questions for him six

847
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: four six eighty six Bradshawn Bryant Caffean text line and

848
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: if you ask him any microwave related questions, I'm not

849
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: sure it's gonna we're going to get anywhere, but you

850
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: can try
