00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 2: So someone texted the bratch Im Brian Caveman text and

11
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: said they think that the fake laughed during spread swingers

12
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: jumped the shark.

13
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 3: It's not fake. No, I bought a hilarious when guys

14
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 3: plummet to the bottom have a bad dance. It's not

15
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 3: a fake laugh, It's real. It's not like us to

16
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 3: something around horse.

17
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: And I think people much like remember earlier today, the

18
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 2: couple of people texted one guy email, I get this occasionally,

19
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: they he could, He doesn't want to. Why anybody would listen,

20
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 2: he goes, I wont how many people tune out the

21
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 2: first ten minutes on the show wheel of topic. Then

22
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 2: I got like thirteen fourteen text messages. There are people

23
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: that's what they listen for. Leave the radio to the professionals.

24
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 2: You at once stated that you are stronger and healthier

25
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: at seventy than you are forty three, And I think

26
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: I figured out why. Here's a simple way to switch

27
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,919
Speaker 2: up your walking routine. According to experts, try walking backwards.

28
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: Taking a brisk walkers an exercise rich in simplicity and

29
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: can have impressive mental and physical benefits stronger bones and muscles,

30
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: cardiovascular fitness, and stress relief, to name a few.

31
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 3: You've been back pedaling your entire career.

32
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 4: I thought you really were going to go with some

33
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 4: sort of scientific well walking backward.

34
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 3: But that's what it says.

35
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: People are now walking back Why walking also known as

36
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 2: retro walking or reverse walking, could add variety and value

37
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: to an exercise routine when done safely. Turning around only

38
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 2: reminds a change of view, but also puts different demands

39
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 2: on your body. There's a biomechanist and faculty member that

40
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: you have a battle Las Vegas. Janet Doufek has researched

41
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: the mechanics of both walking and landing from jumps to

42
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 2: identifying ways of preventing injuries and improving physical performance. And

43
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,839
Speaker 2: as a former college basketball player and a regular exerciser,

44
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: she's also done her fair share of backward walking.

45
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 3: She says that the revers locomotion.

46
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: Can increase hamstring flexibility, strength and underused muscles, and challenges

47
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 2: the mind as the body.

48
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 3: Adjusts to a new movement and posture. What do you

49
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 3: think of that?

50
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 4: Well, I have seen and I've done it occasionally, and

51
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 4: I emphasize the word occasionally. No, No, I'm the elliptical.

52
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 4: I'm the elliptical where you can you can pedal backwards.

53
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 4: And I've seen other people exercising next to them, going, man,

54
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 4: they're really they are they're they're they're they're moving the

55
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 4: same speed that they do forward. They're going backwards, and

56
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 4: I must have some value to it. I've never really

57
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 4: never thought of it, and I never I rarely do it.

58
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 4: But that's an interesting Yeah, backpedaling has been a good specialty.

59
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 4: But yeah, I find that fascinating. I wouldn't. I mean,

60
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 4: if I'm if I'm walking, you know, on River Road

61
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 4: or something, I don't think I'd probably get a lot

62
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 4: of gawking, like what are you doing? Why are you

63
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 4: walking backwards?

64
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: Last night the Toronto Blue Jays after I'm Monday night,

65
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: losing an eighteen inning thriller, that what six and a

66
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 2: half hours was like a Yankees Boston game from the

67
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 2: olden days? Correct, A lot of people thought, well, logic

68
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: would tell you that Toronto was an underdog. You have

69
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 2: three Cy Young or two former Cy Young Award winners

70
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 2: and Otani and a lineup that's, you know, almost second

71
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,799
Speaker 2: to none, and that after losing that heartbreaker, that Toronto

72
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: would would would go quietly into the night, just the opposite.

73
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 2: They win the next two games up three to two.

74
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: And the young kid, yes, Savages, is that how you

75
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 2: say his name? I had the pronunciation earlier? This kid

76
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 2: was absolutely astonishing. He was middle of summer, he was

77
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: pitching for low single, a denim above that, and now

78
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 2: he's had what eight nine ten starts in the big leagues,

79
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 2: including last night he set the rookie record in the

80
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: World Series then with twelve strikeouts. He was simply brilliant

81
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 2: last night, and he outdueled two times saw Young Award

82
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 2: winner Blake Snell, who gave up and his first time

83
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:05,559
Speaker 2: has ever happened in World Series history.

84
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 3: Back to back home runs to start a World Series game.

85
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 3: So it goes to.

86
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: Show you it's nice to be able to spend a

87
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 2: lot of money. This will be the poll that pocket

88
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: protectors always want to tell us.

89
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:15,799
Speaker 3: It's not about the money.

90
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 2: There's a kid that's probably making the major league minimum

91
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: and he was brilliant last night, and he's been a

92
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 2: hero for the team.

93
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 3: In the World Series.

94
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 4: Well, you mentioned after the game he started out this season,

95
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 4: You just said it. He pitched in for a three

96
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 4: hundred and twenty seven spectators. That was That was his

97
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 4: first game. And the last night, of course, they have

98
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 4: fifty two thousand plus at Dodger Stadium walking out there

99
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 4: and you're facing Otani again, and what a brilliant game

100
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 4: he pitched. I couldn't be happier for Toronto. What a

101
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 4: great story this is. Now they got a got two

102
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 4: chances to finish them off in Toronto. I can't even imagine.

103
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 4: Why can the ticket demand for that game tomorrow night

104
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 4: in Toronto? They've waited since ninety three? Sor right, nineteen

105
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 4: ninety three? Yeah too? Is that the early nineties? Yeah? Yeah,

106
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 4: But I mean it's just they're crazy about their baseball

107
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 4: and it's it's an great opportunity to finish them off,

108
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 4: and it's not gonna be easy, but they have that opportunity.

109
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 3: Well, they're in the proverbial drivers, they are.

110
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 4: And yeah, they absolutely are. And I think they're in

111
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 4: Toronto for game six, correct six and seven six, So

112
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 4: I mean, I think it's you're seeing the benefit of

113
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 4: this this team is for you know, they're they're really good.

114
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 4: They were last place team. Kind of reminds me of

115
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,559
Speaker 4: what happened, you know, you know, back with the Twins

116
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 4: of ninety one, last to first. I mean, they were

117
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 4: last place team last year, and here they are on

118
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 4: the on the cusp of winning the World Series against

119
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 4: the powerhouse Dodger team that no one I don't think

120
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 4: expected to to not coast basically to the World Championship.

121
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 3: And it's fun to watch.

122
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 4: I mean they you're right that the home runs that

123
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 4: set the tone right away, Schneider first pitch home run,

124
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 4: the Guerrero, who's kind of the m VP, hit another one,

125
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 4: and the Dodgers made it two to one. But then

126
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 4: you know, again, these quality at bats and this is

127
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 4: the thing they keep you know, And I heard there

128
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 4: was someone I was listening to the way my wife.

129
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 4: I was driving Rochester last night. I was driving back

130
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 4: and I think it was it was Lavelle talking about

131
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 4: I had mentioned Paul Maltors, of course, was a very

132
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 4: famous Toronto Blue Jay, among other teams that he played

133
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 4: for at the bottom of their order. I mean, they're

134
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 4: they're really good at putting the ball in play. There

135
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 4: are no easy outs on that team, and they're not

136
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 4: big name players, but they're just so good at you know,

137
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 4: and we always talk about it. You don't have the twins,

138
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 4: you know, Fluss, you got to hit a home run

139
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 4: around no put the ball in play. They work the count,

140
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 4: they make the pitcher work for it, and then they

141
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 4: get on base time and time again and set themselves

142
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 4: up for run scoring opportunities. So everything's working for him

143
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 4: right now. And you know, now the toughest part, you

144
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 4: got to finish this team off, because we all know

145
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 4: how explosive the Dodgers can be. Is Yamamodal pitching tomorrow night,

146
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 4: I assume he is. But yeah, they turned it around,

147
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 4: and that stunned crowd in Los Angeles last night when

148
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 4: they that kid just dominates them with twelve strikeouts and

149
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 4: a rookie that as you said, it started with the

150
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 4: lowest low. I don't know how to compare the story.

151
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 4: I mean they had a shot. I saw a video.

152
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 4: I think of his dad, No, Schneider's dad who hit

153
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 4: the home run the first pitch he was in the

154
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 4: stands that someone was had a video camera was filming

155
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 4: him or taping him. And Schneyder hits the home run

156
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 4: to start the game. I mean, that's something you dream

157
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 4: about as a kid. So good for them. I hope

158
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 4: people are locked in and watching it. It's been a

159
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 4: lot of SI.

160
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 2: I find it interesting the quotes from Blake Snell after

161
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 2: the game. I heard you talk, he said the Dayline

162
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. Sorry, this is an Associate Press story.

163
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 3: Says Blake Snell.

164
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 2: Things bad luck had about as much to do with

165
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 2: his Game five struggles as the Blue Jays.

166
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 3: He said, luck plays in baseball.

167
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 2: To the two time Sy Young Award winner gave two

168
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 2: home runs on his first three pitches, then faltered again

169
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 2: late in the six to one loss. Snell allowed back

170
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 2: to back homers to Schneider and Guero Junior, the first

171
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 2: back to back of leadoff homers ever in a series game.

172
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 2: Each of the first three pitches were fastballs. Then Snell's

173
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: next twenty two after that were off speed, he said.

174
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 2: Snell said, a Schneider first pitch of the game, ninety

175
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 2: seven miles per hour fastball up, and then he hits

176
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 2: it ninety eight. It goes out pretty unlucky. Glad, Yeah,

177
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 2: that's just a bad pitch, he said. He didn't think

178
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 2: he was giving away any cues on the type of

179
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: pitch he was going to throw. He said, I just

180
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: think they were ambushing a fastball. They just read swings

181
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 2: in the rambushing and as they should, and as I

182
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 2: thought they should. I'm not one to make excuses or

183
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 2: anything close to that, but that's pretty unlucky. Well, if

184
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 2: you thought that they were going to be sitting on fastballs,

185
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 2: why are you throwing fastballs?

186
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 3: It doesn't make much sense to me.

187
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 2: Then his next as they mentioned his next Tommeny was it.

188
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: His next twenty two pitches were off speed. And I

189
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 2: can't find the story. I was just searching for it

190
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 2: during the break where there was some Blue Jays hit

191
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 2: that say, that's exactly what we were trying to do.

192
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,359
Speaker 3: We snow he was going to come with the fastball,

193
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 3: and so they did, and that was really basically your

194
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 3: ball game.

195
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: I mean, there was still plenty of there's still plenty

196
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 2: of baseball to be played after the first two hitters, obviously,

197
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 2: but sure that certainly set the tone for the game.

198
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 2: And it goes to show you no matter what kind

199
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 2: of money you spend and how it can come down

200
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 2: to just you know, one performance and the.

201
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 3: Kid he just seems to be fearless.

202
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 2: I mean, he he, he was a a rhythm that

203
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 2: he just he doesn't he doesn't, you know, I know

204
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 2: he knows the enormity of the situation, but he certainly isn't.

205
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 4: Wasn't it ahenomenal story to see someone that you know,

206
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 4: you think about, how is that possible U to start

Speaker 1: Lakers blow big lead but still be Timberwolves.

223
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 2: Boston Reeves runner at the buzzer, lifted La playing with

224
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 2: out Lebron and Luca to one sixteen one fifteen victory.

225
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 3: Story starts as follow allows.

226
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 2: It says for five games, the Timberwolves defense hasn't been

227
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 2: what they air fans have been accustomed to seeing. But

228
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 2: Wednesday night, after e racing a twenty point Lakers lead

229
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 2: in the second half, all the Wolves needed was one stop.

230
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 2: Playing one was one stop, well up by one ten

231
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 2: point two seconds to play, and they couldn't get it.

232
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 2: You've been talking about the Vikings defense, I would say

233
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 2: the Timberwolves is as bad, if not worse. It's just

234
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 2: it's unacceptable, it's embarrassing for professional basketball team.

235
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 4: Well, and yeah, it's a small sample size, but it's

236
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 4: a continuation of issues they've had, and watching the replay

237
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 4: again of that last you play that Austin Reeves, who

238
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 4: was who's their money guy right now and making a

239
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 4: lot of money in the absence of Lebron and Luca,

240
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 4: he knew he was gonna take the shot. They're down

241
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 4: by one, and Jade McDaniel, who's the Wolve's best defender,

242
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 4: was on him when the ball went, you know, from

243
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 4: out of bounds. But then I don't know what player

244
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 4: from the Lakers kind of you know, put a nice

245
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 4: screen in front of him. Well, that left Rudy on Reeves,

246
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 4: and and Reeves was able to maneuver himself in a

247
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 4: position and credit him. He still had to make a

248
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 4: pretty tough shot to win the game. But it doesn't

249
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 4: disguise the fact that there are still issues with this

250
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 4: team defense to McDaniels, in fact, I think was pointed

251
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 4: out from standpoint, he's been their best defender over the

252
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 4: last few years overall, I mean, other than I think

253
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 4: at time when Ant is really interested in playing defense.

254
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 4: Of course, he's been out now too, I mean will

255
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 4: be out for quite a while. Arguably it is the

256
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 4: best defender, but you know, you know, the team has got.

257
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 4: You know, they've got some issues that I don't know

258
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 4: how Finch is going to solve that needed to be

259
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 4: solved a little bit in the offseason. I'm I'm still

260
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 4: kind of shaking my head a little bit about how

261
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 4: they felt they're going to run the point guard position,

262
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 4: and you guys talked about it. I might drive back

263
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 4: if today a little bit about missing Gnaw. You know

264
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 4: my guy Luca Ours I think they missed at times

265
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 4: he's played. I saw him playing for the Celtics last

266
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 4: night and doing a nice jobs. Jo, well my not

267
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 4: too but more Nawn is the guy.

268
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 3: But when I'm saying stars, you saw it min not

269
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 3: on Boston so far.

270
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 4: Well, Boston's both those guys are playing well for Boston. Yeah,

271
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 4: but you can't keep everybody, I mean that's the problem.

272
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 3: But well, you don't play mine not you don't even

273
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 3: know what you have.

274
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 4: Well, he didn't play very much.

275
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 3: Well that's my point.

276
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 2: Finch doesn't play the players enough to know what he has.

277
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 4: Well, he is now out of necessity. I mean, Shannon,

278
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 4: he only played.

279
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 2: Six He only played nine guys last night and one

280
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 2: guy played eight minutes. He's back to an eight man rotation.

281
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 2: Nine guys played for the Wolves.

282
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 3: Counter seventy eight. Yeah, nine guys and one played eight minutes.

283
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 3: He's back to playing. He's just bad. Why is in

284
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 3: Baron playing well?

285
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 2: I mean losing games anyways, Play some of these guys

286
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 2: and see what you.

287
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 4: Have, especially early in the season where it's just it's

288
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 4: I'm not saying it doesn't matter, but I mean Indiana

289
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 4: last year was two and three or two and four,

290
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 4: whatever they went. You know, almost won the championship last year,

291
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 4: and you know, so that part of the equation isn't

292
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 4: a big deal. But I don't disagree with like the

293
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 4: Baron Jared situation, and especially at the end of the

294
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 4: game like that, why not He's he's mobile, he's you know,

295
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 4: let them let him go out there. If you put

296
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 4: Joe Ingles in the game, because he can inbounds the

297
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 4: ball better than anyone on your team in a crucial situation,

298
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 4: you know, why not put the kid in there because

299
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 4: he's adepted blocking shots. He can if nothing else, he

300
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 4: might be able to make Austin Reeves adjust that shot,

301
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 4: double team them. He's going to get the ball anyway.

302
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 4: I don't know how to answer that. I mean we're

303
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 4: not seeing him playing at all. You're getting ripped or

304
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 4: what says Rosen's a fraud. Watch the replay. If you

305
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 4: watch it, you know, and that's not how the last

306
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 4: play of the game went down. McDaniels was on reeves

307
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 4: Ker set a pick of McDaniel's. Rudy stepped up and

308
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 4: didn't close off on the screen.

309
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 2: Exactly what I said through the drive to the buck

310
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 2: with the float A nice try, Rosie.

311
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 3: That's exactly what you said. That's exactly what I said.

312
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 3: Why is doctor Phil ripping you? Then?

313
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 4: I don't know because he's not listening. That's literally you

314
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 4: play the tape back exactly what I said, and people

315
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 4: would back me up on it. This guy's got to

316
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 4: get the whatever out of his ears. I literally said,

317
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 4: McDaniel was on him, he got screened and left Rudy.

318
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 3: Alone one a week. He'll just want to get you going.

319
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 4: These people are just idiots.

320
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 3: Hear what they want to hear. Yeah, it's just I.

321
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 4: Mean, that's fine if you I mean, but don't say

322
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 4: I didn't say it because I it wasn't like an

323
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 4: a half hour ago. I literally said it two minutes ago.

324
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 4: I watched the replay at any number of times, and

325
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 4: Reeves has been knocking down those shots. But they did

326
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 4: a nice job taking McDaniel off of Reeves and he

327
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 4: could not fight his way through that screen, and that's

328
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 4: how he made the shot over Gobert.

329
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 2: Calm and when it comes to the walls plays, you

330
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 2: know what you have. When Common's talking to the Vikings,

331
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 2: he says they should keep playing wins over the rookie.

332
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 3: We are win.

333
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 2: If you ever, in all honesty you see, i'mn have

334
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 2: to explain to him and maybe some of the other listening.

335
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 3: I think most listeners understand this.

336
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 2: There's a difference between sports like basketball the professional level,

337
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:25,239
Speaker 2: they play eighty two games and they rotate guys in

338
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 2: and out all the time. In the NFL you only

339
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 2: have seventeen games, and so when you've had a rookie

340
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 2: that you have seen what you have now you have

341
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: to see more long term. McCarthy was dreadful in his

342
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 2: first two literally dreadful.

343
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 3: He looked like he'd never played the position. I was

344
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 3: still surprised the week yet for the fourth quarter of

345
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 3: the Bears game.

346
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 2: So when you have a team that's built win now,

347
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 2: and you have a team that as a quarterback that

348
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 2: allegedly has a bad spring ankle. You go with your

349
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 2: veteran quarterback to see if you can stay in the hunt.

350
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 2: When you're talking about the early games of the NBA,

351
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 2: you only have to go as far is mine not

352
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 2: to see the guy had fourteen rebounds last night. He's

353
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 2: been the best player on Boston so far this season.

354
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 2: Now that could all end next game and he might

355
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 2: fade away into oblivion and never be.

356
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 3: A factor ever. Again, it's very it's distinctly possible.

357
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 2: But there's a there's a big difference between playing Ben

358
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 2: Clayers earlier early in the season in the NBA and

359
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 2: then the game.

360
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just it's it's just common.

361
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that you know, we're seeing you know,

362
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 4: obviously Rob Dillingham, they guy, Terrence Shant, these guys were

363
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 4: going to play more minutes. And it's been a work

364
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 4: in progress, no doubt. Mean, Dillingham's still at twenty years old.

365
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 4: He's got his moments. He had five assists last night,

366
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 4: he had eight points, but he's still a little skittish

367
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 4: about certain things. And Shannon needs to be more aggressive with,

368
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 4: you know, with what he what he's doing. And I

369
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 4: don't think even scored last night looking at the box score.

370
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 3: Here's one.

371
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 2: It says common I think Finchy should take the power

372
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 2: trip approach to coaching the Wolves. Instead of earning a

373
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 2: three man rotation of Hawk, Sauce and Corey, they instead

374
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 2: invite a full bench of contributors, veterans and young guns

375
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 2: like Max and Hellvy to maximize the return of the

376
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 2: morning Grum. Maybe Finchy should experiment a little more with

377
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 2: his bench. Instead, he's taking the common man approach using

378
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 2: the rotation of common, Tenna and Rosie.

379
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 3: That's true.

380
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 2: We kind of just go with the three man rotation,

381
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 2: or the power trip goes of like what thirty thirty

382
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 2: I think go thirty forty to fifty different people that

383
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 2: come in each ye.

384
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 3: Maybe fire code gets broken when their show is on

385
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 3: the air. Wait, hold on, wops, Oh no, what was

386
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 3: right abouve rimshot? What did I lose?

387
00:19:58,800 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 2: Oh?

388
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 3: Right, in my haste to hit.

389
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 2: The rim shot, I dragged it over whatever it was

390
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 2: above it.

391
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,719
Speaker 3: It's gone forever. We might not never know what it is.

392
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 3: Oh well, well, let's oh here's one.

393
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 2: Rosie colin Minnesota sports fans idiots. He guys are packing

394
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 2: for the city he prefers anyway, Chicago.

395
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 3: Maybe you want to go

396
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 2: To Chicago thinking about it, We'll take a break, come

397
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 2: back one more segments to No Common Man program on

398
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 2: the Fan
