Speaker 2: I got?

15
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 3: This is actually the the late vestiges of a an

16
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 3: ongoing head coal that went into the chest and generally

17
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 3: affects my voice.

18
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 2: Correct.

19
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 5: Oh man, you should see the team right now. Like

20
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 5: players have been sick, the entire broadcast team has been sick.

21
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 5: The PR Department's been sick. So I guess that's what's happened. Yeah,

22
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 5: since December twenty seventh, I've somehow, somehow avoided it so far,

23
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:14,559
Speaker 5: which means it's coming.

24
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 3: I think it's a coffee diet. I think it's the Yeah,

25
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 3: I know, that's what it's doing.

26
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 2: Maybe.

27
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 4: I was talking to Ryan Hartman about that. He's like,

28
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 4: how many Americanos do you drink?

29
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 5: I'm like four, and he's like what, So, yeah, I

30
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 5: guess he doesn't. You know, I am a picture of health,

31
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 5: but he, uh, he doesn't. I guess drink caffeine unless

32
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 5: it's a game night after three o'clock. So and then

33
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 5: a bunch of players were telling me that I need

34
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 5: to do the same thing.

35
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 4: So I think players are starting to get worried about me.

36
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's very well. They're always there.

37
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 3: There's there's you know, deep and abiding respect. They're concerned. Yeah,

38
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 3: for sure, there's no doubt about that.

39
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 4: So yeah, I head over February. Second.

40
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 5: I've which is crazy because I feel like I've been

41
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 5: gone for a month from Minnesota and and what we've

42
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 5: been fourteen days and I think I'm gone.

43
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 4: I think I'm gone twenty three days for the Olympics.

44
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 4: So it's gonna be a lot a lot of travel

45
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 4: for there, but I'm really looking forward to it.

46
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, trying to keep my eye on the

47
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 5: ball and not get distracted because there's so many good

48
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 5: wild coverage that Joe Smith and I have had here

49
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 5: this month, but really looking forward to covering the Olympics,

50
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 5: and what's really neat is the Wild. You know, I'm

51
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 5: obviously there to cover the women's hockey and then USA

52
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 5: men's but the Wild have ten players there, so that's

53
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 5: gonna be really cool that, you know that I'll at

54
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 5: least be able to provide local coverage for Wild fans

55
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 5: that are going to be starved for two three weeks

56
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 5: of very little coverage.

57
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 4: So you know, as long as it doesn't get in

58
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 4: the way of all my other stuff, I plan to

59
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 4: really pay attention to everything with the.

60
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 5: Three Americans that the Wild have there, the three suites,

61
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 5: four suites that they have there, maybe five that Joe

62
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 5: Hansen gets the call, and you know they have one

63
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 5: German player, one check player, one Slovak player as well,

64
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 5: so it's gonna be fun.

65
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 3: Well, I will tell you, I think we've maybe this before.

66
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 3: I think I ended up covering seven Olympics, I think

67
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 3: four Winter, three Summer, and I don't know that I

68
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 3: enjoyed any experience more than the Winter Olympics because for me,

69
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 3: it was cool to get away from the bats and

70
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 3: balls to more esoteric sports. Not that hockey is that esoteric,

71
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 3: but I'm talking about the other ones. In addition to hockey.

72
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 3: The scenery, you know, the backdrop usually was aesthetically very

73
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 3: very pleasing as well, places like Albertville, Albertville, France.

74
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: That's how old I am.

75
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 3: And I just think, I don't know, I think it's

76
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 3: the freshness of it that if you're covering all the Olympics,

77
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 3: you're covering a lot of sports that really you don't

78
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 3: spend that much time, you know, covering the rest of

79
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 3: the year, so it's refreshing after all the you know,

80
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 3: the football, basketball, baseball, et cetera.

81
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly. I mean, man, ninety two, is was that

82
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 5: your first Olympics or you when even proceeded that?

83
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 3: My first Olympics was Sarah Jevo was my first Winter Olympics,

84
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,839
Speaker 3: which goes back obviously even further to eighty four.

85
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 4: Wow, amazing.

86
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, this is given me my third and I

87
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 5: was supposed to cover Beijing, but that was you know,

88
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 5: the the NHL pulled out because of the pandemic, so

89
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,839
Speaker 5: I missed that one. But I covered, uh, Salt Lake,

90
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 5: and I've covered Vancouver, and you know, I'm really looking

91
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 5: forward to just seeing one outside the United States, and

92
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 5: and and in Milan. Unfortunately with the with the you

93
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 5: know what was called in Vancouver is you know, the

94
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 5: men's hockey starts about a week week and a half

95
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 5: after the Olympics actually start.

96
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 4: So I the first week or.

97
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 5: Something, I went up to Whistler and did uh stories.

98
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 4: I did a lose story.

99
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 5: I was there the day that that poor kid died

100
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 5: from the Republic of Georgia, if you remember.

101
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 4: That, and the sort of you know, the I guess,

102
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 4: you know, I don't, for lack of a better term,

103
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 4: exhibition part of the louge.

104
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 5: But I was shadowing Tony Benshof a lot up there too,

105
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 5: because that was his He's from White Bear Lake and

106
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 5: that was his last Olympics. So and then I had

107
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 5: a blast covering Obviously, the NHL got to see Perezy

108
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 5: Force overtime there in the Golden Medal game. And this

109
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 5: one going to be amazing, you know, just incredible players

110
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 5: going over from the NHL. First time since twenty fourteen

111
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 5: that the NHL is sending players there. You have the

112
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 5: backdrop of the issues with the construction of the arenas,

113
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 5: and one of my colleagues. Chris Johnson's over there right

114
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 5: now for the test events that start the next three days,

115
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 5: starts tomorrow.

116
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 4: So it's going to be a blast to just be

117
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 4: there and cover hockey.

118
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: No question about that. Well, you know, we have not

119
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: talked to them.

120
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, and by the way, we have at the Athletic

121
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 5: We have an army of people going over there, including

122
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 5: one of our local editors who's our head Olympic editor,

123
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 5: Zach Pearce.

124
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 4: So it's going to be a blast.

125
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 3: That's even that's even better. I've told the story before.

126
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 3: I don't know that I've told you. If you go

127
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 3: all the way back to Sirievle year, there weren't like

128
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 3: there weren't as many American reporters as I think we've

129
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 3: come to expect in Olympics afterwards. And in fact, there

130
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 3: was a group like a consortium that decided to so

131
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 3: sort of pool their resources several newspapers around the country Dallas, Philly,

132
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 3: several others, So they kind of rented out a room

133
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 3: where we could all work in in terms of actually

134
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 3: the actual writing part. And then I think at that

135
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 3: point then they had at all those papers we had

136
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 3: then had access to to sending our stuff in and

137
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 3: they had good technical support and so forth. But there

138
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 3: are also some folks that weren't American. There were a

139
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 3: couple of French reporters in there, et cetera. And the

140
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 3: one of the funniest moments in my journalistic career was,

141
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 3: were there's several of us in there on deadline right, well,

142
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 3: not really on deadline, but writing. And we can hear

143
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 3: a reporter I think it was in French, I can't remember.

144
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 3: It could have been Spanish, might have been French, maybe

145
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 3: it was Eastern EUROPEA who knows. And they're they're yelling

146
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 3: at whoever they're talking to into the phone. There's some

147
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 3: kind of dispute that's broken out between this writer and

148
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 3: his editor. And there's a writer who goes way back.

149
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 3: I think he was a legendary in Pittsburgh named Ron Reid.

150
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 3: And as soon as the guy, the reporter, the French

151
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 3: reporter slammed down the phone, read looks at him and says,

152
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 3: editors are a holes in any language, aren't they? And

153
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 3: we all just it's just so perfectly played. We just

154
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 3: cracked the whole things. We can all relate, you know

155
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. Yeah.

156
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 5: No, I will say I've always gotten along with my editors,

157
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 5: date back to the Yes, yes, so I and the

158
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 5: Sun Subtle.

159
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 4: I have really been lucky over the years.

160
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 5: I was actually talking to somebody about that the other day,

161
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 5: that I've I've never, ever, ever not gotten along with editors,

162
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 5: whether it's I mean for incredible editors, Yeah, incredible editors

163
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 5: at the Athletic.

164
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 3: In some cases, it's just sort of built in natural

165
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 3: friction that everybody's doing their job, so there's gonna be

166
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 3: some times where some things happen.

167
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 5: I don't know if you remember this name, Robes Patten,

168
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 5: but he was a longtime mini heat writer down.

169
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 2: And I do remember that.

170
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, And Robes actually the press room is named after him,

171
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 5: and really sad, you know, died of a brain cancer.

172
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 5: But when I first started as like a fifteen year

173
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 5: old at the Sunsetvel, I had my cubicle next to

174
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 5: him at the Delray Beach office and he saw me

175
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 5: reading one of my high.

176
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 4: School articles in the paper, and.

177
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 5: He said, I have one piece of advice for you,

178
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 5: and he goes, always look to make sure your articles

179
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 5: in the newspaper, but don't read it because it's only

180
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 5: going to spress you out and tick you off, and

181
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 5: at the editors, and because you know, especially at.

182
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 4: A newspaper where they're cutting for space. Sure, yes, and

183
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 4: I honestly have. I have lived up to that.

184
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 5: I never read one of my articles like I just

185
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 5: I make sure it appears and and that's it. And

186
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 5: that's probably why I don't fight with editors, because even

187
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 5: if there are editing mistakes and there are things cut,

188
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 5: I never know about it.

189
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 3: It's a very wise decision. And ultimately I ended up

190
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 3: doing that here because anytime I would deviate from that norm,

191
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 3: invariably i'd see my ending cut off, or I see

192
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 3: my lead rearranged in a way that had nothing to

193
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 3: do with what I was trying to say, which made

194
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 3: it easier to go back to I got I can't

195
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 3: look because I'm gonna lose my mind if I do.

196
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 3: So that's that's a good policy on your part. It's

197
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 3: probably served you very well.

198
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 4: No doubt about it.

199
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 5: But I have last like Vancouver was incredible. But to

200
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 5: your point on how many American writers were over at

201
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 5: the survey at the Olympics, excuse me, I have a

202
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 5: tickle on my throat there. But the you know, I'm

203
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 5: really curious to see this one because you know that

204
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 5: the day and age of newspaper, like like you know,

205
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 5: in Vancouver you had local beat writers covering all hockey,

206
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 5: and and now, I mean, I don't know other than

207
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 5: one writer that I know from the Boston Globe, I

208
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 5: don't know another hockey writer other than the Athletics Ye

209
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 5: sending people. It's just not that any way anymore. The

210
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 5: staruture viewne for years had Rachel Blown, incredible Olympics writer.

211
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 5: They're you know, LA Times had always Helene Elliott and

212
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 5: you know, obviously all our stuff will be in the

213
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 5: New York Times. But really, I I don't know of

214
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 5: too many writers from over here that are going over there.

215
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,719
Speaker 4: And like we have.

216
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 5: Thirty people coming over, you know, editors and writers, but

217
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 5: a lot of our people that are covering it are

218
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 5: also from our UK bureaus.

219
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,719
Speaker 4: That so it's not a ton of us coming over

220
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 4: from North America. There's probably about a dozen maybe maybe

221
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 4: a little.

222
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, we are gonna have five covering hockey,

223
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 5: which is pretty cool, and our head hockey editor.

224
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 4: Is coming over, so it's gonna be really neat.

225
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 5: We're gonna have an army of writers that are covering

226
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 5: absolutely everything.

227
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 4: It's it's gonna be amazing.

228
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 2: So tell me your impressions.

229
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 3: What what struck you about the selections ultimately for the

230
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 3: US Olympic team hockey teams men and women.

231
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's.

232
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 5: Very much what I expected, And a lot of it

233
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 5: is because you know, I talked to Bill Garran all

234
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 5: the time and I just, you know, you get accustomed

235
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 5: to how he's thinking.

236
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 4: I think they loved the way that.

237
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 5: They played at the Four Nations tournament and felt like

238
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 5: the style of play is something that could translate over there.

239
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 4: So I just didn't expect many many changes.

240
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 5: I think because of the the hubub of Jason Robertson

241
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 5: not making the team, it really away from the fact

242
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 5: that they did add offense to the this Olympic team.

243
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 5: I mean, just having Quinn Hughes there after being heard

244
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 5: in the Four Nations adds an immense amount of offense.

245
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 5: And then you add th Thompson and Clayton Keller. But

246
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 5: because everybody got strung up on just Jason Robertson's snub,

247
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 5: I think that people are just thinking that he brought

248
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 5: a bunch of checkers there, and and you know, look,

249
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 5: I see why, you know, people are critical just because

250
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 5: guys like JT. Miller and Vincent Trocheck haven't had the

251
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 5: greatest years. But there's certain roles and and that that

252
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 5: players play there, and and they're you know, the Rangers

253
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 5: head coach is the American team, and he looks at them,

254
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 5: is the American coach, and he looks at them as

255
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 5: blue guys. Brock Nelson's had a terrific year for Colorado's

256
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 5: and he's going to be relied upon to play many

257
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 5: different roles. And so I still think that this US

258
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 5: team that they're bringing is outstanding, but they're not the

259
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 5: only team. I'm Canada is anytime you have a team

260
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 5: that has McDavid and mccarr and McKinnon and Crosby, uh,

261
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 5: they're gonna be right there as a favorite to win.

262
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 5: And you know, I look at the Swedes as having

263
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 5: a tremendous team, but I really like the team that

264
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 5: Bill Garrin and his staff has picked.

265
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 2: Is the arena built yet in Italy?

266
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 5: So we have a writer, Chris Johnson, one of our writers,

267
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 5: is actually over there for the test events.

268
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 4: And he'll you know, it's not built.

269
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 5: The hockey two is built that's the arena that's been

270
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 5: built in like an industrial park, like almost like a

271
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 5: convention center that has like four or five thousand seats.

272
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 5: There's going to be some American, some men's games. There

273
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 5: a lot of women's games there. But the main arena,

274
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 5: Hockey one, is not completed yet. It's gonna supposedly be

275
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 5: completed a couple of days before the women's tournament starts

276
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 5: in February fifth.

277
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 4: They do have the ice down.

278
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 5: They're going to have a test event the next three

279
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 5: days to make sure that a lot of things take place,

280
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 5: one that it could stand the test of three games

281
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 5: a day on this ice sheet, because you don't want

282
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 5: to put these players at risk with soft ice, hard ice,

283
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 5: anything that could potentially jeopardize them. They also need to

284
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 5: make sure where everything from the doctors are going to

285
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 5: be to the medical if they're you know, god forbid,

286
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 5: is an emergency, getting the ambulance to the ice, how

287
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 5: far it's gonna take to get to the arena. They're

288
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 5: gonna be doing all this the next couple of days,

289
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 5: but in terms of the actual arena, there is still

290
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 5: a lot of concern of of what it's gonna be

291
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 5: like for the fans, concessions, plumbing for bathrooms. You know,

292
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 5: as long as there's a press box, I'll be fine.

293
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 5: Looking coffee and a working Wi Fi is what we need.

294
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 5: So I I look, they this has been ridiculous, But

295
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 5: this is very much in line with a lot of.

296
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 4: Times what we see at the Olympics.

297
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 5: Uh, you know, at the Sochi Olympics, the arena was built,

298
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 5: but you know, you know, players athletes were moving into

299
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 5: the village and and they were still basically putting hammer

300
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 5: to nail there at the time, and so this is

301
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 5: just what what you come to expect. But I knew

302
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 5: this was going to be a problem when I was

303
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 5: there in August and I took an uber out there

304
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 5: and there wasn't even you know, it was not even

305
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 5: they didn't break down on the practice rink, let alone

306
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 5: have anything close to being done on the arena.

307
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 4: And there were no roads in there.

308
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 5: We had to stop like five hundred yards away because

309
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 5: you couldn't get anywhere close. And I'm just like, holy mackerel,

310
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 5: Like they're supposed to have a Remember the original test

311
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 5: event was supposed to be early December.

312
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 4: There's no way.

313
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 5: And I think one thing that happened here is in

314
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 5: in the month of August in Italy, they literally go

315
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 5: on siesta like they like, nobody works in August.

316
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 4: And I don't think anybody was aware of this.

317
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 5: And instead of you know, the IOC sending in construction

318
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 5: workers from other countries like they've done in the past,

319
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 5: they essentially weren't getting no work done on this arena.

320
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 4: And all of a sudden, the NHL got.

321
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 5: There for this NHL media tour that I was at,

322
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 5: and all held broke loose when they basically said, get

323
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 5: your you know.

324
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 3: What together, Brent, I should say, Brent rights NHL Russian

325
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 3: players like Caprisoft are going to benefit from Russia not

326
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 3: being in the Olympics. Capriceof should be fresh for the playoffs.

327
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 3: What do you make of that?

328
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 5: Well, he needs it, because I have not been impressed

329
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 5: with his play throughout this road trip. He's been had

330
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 5: a very quiet road trip. He looks like he's tired.

331
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 4: Remember this is somebody that missed forty one games last year,

332
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 4: so I think that all the the.

333
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 5: Rigors of this schedule right now has gotten to him.

334
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 5: He will definitely take some time off. I can't even

335
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 5: I've had more conversations with Corolla this trip than I've

336
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 5: had in five years covering this team, just because we've

337
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 5: had so much downtime, and even just the other day

338
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 5: to yesterday in the locker room, you know, I shot

339
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 5: the you know what with him for probably thirty minutes,

340
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 5: him and Zukurello, and he is really looking forward to

341
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 5: the break. He wishes he was in the Olympics. Obviously

342
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 5: he was the Olympic hero eight years ago. But you

343
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 5: know he's going to do some high altitude training in Colorado.

344
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 5: He's probably going to take some time go down to Florida,

345
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 5: I would assume. But to that point, I think that

346
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 5: you're right. The Wild have ten athletes going over to Milan.

347
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 5: But you know, Zukerella will get some fresh time off

348
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 5: right now. Jojo will on all the Russian players on

349
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 5: the team. You're of Trenyon and and Carill, so that'll

350
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 5: probably be good and they don't risk injury, which you're

351
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 5: gonna need for a team that's gonna have the most

352
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 5: players in the NHL over there, if you include the

353
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 5: two Iowa guys.

354
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 3: Matthew wants to know if you have any gut feelings

355
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 3: on whether there's one more big move that Garren might make.

356
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 2: Is there a big fish? Is he gett a bole?

357
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 2: What do we think?

358
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I'll.

359
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 5: Say this on the record for the radio, because I

360
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 5: think Brett thought I was playing games with him when

361
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 5: we were shooting the breeze waiting.

362
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 2: I didn't know if yeah exactly.

363
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 4: He asked me the same question.

364
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 5: I said, one hundred percent, there is no doubt in

365
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 5: my mind just thinking of this logically, and Joe Smith

366
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 5: and I wrote this the other day, is you don't

367
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 5: give up four major pieces, all the equivalent first round

368
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 5: picks for Quinn Hughes to not go and take another swing,

369
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 5: because right now, if you look at this team, as

370
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 5: good as they've been playing, you know they're still probably

371
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 5: let's sort of Colorado to go get to the Stanley

372
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 5: Cup finals. So they are a center away, and I

373
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 5: think you owe it to Quinn to try to make

374
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 5: that happen, to ownership, to the fans, to this team,

375
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 5: because right now, I mean the reality is that You're

376
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 5: Off is just not ready to be a number one center,

377
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 5: nor is Ryan Hartman, and they've got to figure out

378
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 5: a way. I still think without Marco Rossi here to

379
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 5: go add somebody that's going to help up the middle,

380
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 5: and so whether that's a Ryan O'Reilly or something like that,

381
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 5: or something even bigger, And that's where I think he

382
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 5: is going to try to make a bigger move.

383
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 4: I think he is going to look for another star.

384
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 5: I really genuinely do, which tells you right away that

385
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 5: he's going to mortgage probably some more of the future.

386
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 5: So you better be right, because this team has given

387
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 5: up a lot of picks and prospects the last couple

388
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 5: of years. So I do think that there's likely to

389
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 5: be more prospects on the outs here in the next.

390
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 4: Couple in the next month and a half or top

391
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 4: top picks. But I do think that Bill Gerran's going

392
00:17:58,680 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 4: to try to make something big happen.

393
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 3: A question coming in from two P one eight Territory,

394
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 3: what does Russo think about Jason Roberson being left off

395
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 3: the US Olympic team.

396
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 5: You know, I feel for the kid because I think

397
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 5: that he has absolutely deserved it. I get you know,

398
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 5: I've talked about this before, but Jason, when you watch

399
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 5: him play, you know, he's just never gonna wow scouts.

400
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 4: But at the end of the night, he always has

401
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 4: two goals.

402
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 5: But you know, he doesn't shoot the greatest he doesn't

403
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 5: skate the greatest. He doesn't go into those dirty areas,

404
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 5: although this year all the analytics say that that's very different.

405
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 5: But the one thing he does is score. And I

406
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 5: just think that at the end of the day, when

407
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 5: the coaches and the management team of the USA Hockey

408
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 5: looked at it, they just felt they had enough of

409
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 5: those type of players in the roles that in the

410
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,959
Speaker 5: role that he that he need to be to be successful.

411
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 5: So top six, they're not taking Gansel off, they're not

412
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 5: taking the k Chucks off, they're not taking Boldie off.

413
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 5: They have a lot of really quality wingers in Tage

414
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 5: in Keller that could score, and that if you're going

415
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 5: to put him on the fourth line or something that

416
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 5: it just didn't make any sense. I still think that

417
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 5: he probably warrants being there. You know, he scored some shootouts,

418
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 5: that is a thing in the Olympics, and but they

419
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 5: again feel that they have enough of that and that

420
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 5: what they needed are guys that kill penalties, can win

421
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 5: big draws, and that's why Robertson was left off.

422
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 4: You know, I do feel for the kid, and it's

423
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 4: not completely over.

424
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 5: You know, there there's a lot of hockey to be

425
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 5: played between now and the Olympics. And I got to

426
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 5: think if if they lost a player in the role

427
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 5: that they foresee him in, that he'd be one of

428
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 5: the first calls, if not the.

429
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 3: First goll cracking tonight. Right, we got the cracking and

430
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 3: all the action on the fan. I think it's a

431
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 3: nine o'clock Is a nine o'clock tap?

432
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 5: Yeah?

433
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 2: Nine o'clock?

434
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, And they are playing unbelievable right now.

435
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 3: That's what I's going to ask. You give me a

436
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 3: crack and scout. What are we looking for tonight?

437
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, they've gotten great goaltending from Grubauer. I think that,

438
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 5: you know, talking to a lot of the reporters today,

439
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,719
Speaker 5: they're still used to the gruera that they've seen here

440
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 5: the last two or three, so they're kind of waiting

441
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 5: for the shoe to drop and maybe that'll be tonight.

442
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 5: They're scoring a ton of goals lately, and they are

443
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 5: eight zero to one in their last nine, so they

444
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 5: are playing really, really quality hockey. This is a building

445
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 5: where the Wild usually performed really well in when their

446
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 5: last time out. I think it's going to be a game.

447
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 5: You know, this team is road weary. You know, this

448
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 5: has not been the craziest trip in terms of travel.

449
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 5: You know, they were able to lay foundation in southern

450
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 5: California for five or six days. They've stayed at some

451
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 5: incredible hotels, so it's not like they're digging ditches or

452
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 5: anything like that. But we've been gone since December twenty seventh.

453
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 5: So my fear always with a long trip like that

454
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 5: is that if you get down a goal or two,

455
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 5: that they just pack it in, get one foot on

456
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 5: the boat bus and wait to get out. But John Hines,

457
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 5: really the last three days since they lost in LA

458
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 5: has been guarding against that and trying to make sure

459
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 5: that this team sticks to it because they are in

460
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 5: the dog days of the season and they have been

461
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 5: sporadical lately, and their record because they are not winning

462
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 5: in these shootouts.

463
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 4: Looks way worse than it really has been.

464
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 5: If you know, the perception would be much different if

465
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 5: they had one of those shootouts. So they've got to

466
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 5: figure out a way to compete against a real tough

467
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 5: opponent today and know that this is not the opponent

468
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 5: that they usually are used to seeing that they play.

469
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 5: They're playing really, really well right now, so I do

470
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 5: think this is a big game for them. To just

471
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 5: you know, get back into the winning ways after lost,

472
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,959
Speaker 5: losing a couple in a row. And also you know

473
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 5: like that that they're spending the night here, they're traveling tomorrow,

474
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 5: they don't land until five or six pm tomorrow.

475
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 4: They play the.

476
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 5: Islanders, that Islander game against another team that's playing really well.

477
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 5: It's gonna be really tough, you know, first game after

478
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 5: a long road trip, kind of weird travel. So I

479
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 5: think tonight is one of those games where you better

480
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 5: figure out a way to win.

481
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 2: Do we really have twelve plus million dollars in cap space?

482
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 4: Yeah?

483
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, so the way it works is that

484
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 5: it's it's it's it's less than that, but you projected

485
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 5: out at the deadline and so and that's one thing.

486
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 5: Like the wild put Tyler Pilick on waivers today, so

487
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 5: they can put them on waivers again before the Olympic break.

488
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 5: What they're going to want to do is send some

489
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 5: guys back to Iowa during that Olympic break to a

490
00:21:58,760 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 5: crew space during that.

491
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 4: But they their hope is.

492
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 5: Because they've stayed out of lt I R all your

493
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 5: you to do that they're going to go out and

494
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 5: generate enough cap space or crew enough space at.

495
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 4: The deadline to go out and make another big.

496
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 3: Swim or are we injury wise?

497
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 5: By the way, Damon Hunts back tonight. So the only

498
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 5: guy out right now is Zach Bagosha, and he's day

499
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 5: to day with a foot injury. Went back to Minnesota,

500
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 5: but yeah, Hunts back tonight. They decided to send your

501
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 5: a check down to activate him. So he's gonna have

502
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 5: to play in his first game in three weeks on

503
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 5: his off side, which will be pretty interesting to watch.

504
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 4: But he had a really bad quad contusion. Talked to

505
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 4: him today. He's excited about getting back.

506
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 5: In and and you know, there's a lot of guys

507
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 5: still playing really well on this team. Quinn Hughes has

508
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 5: been outstanding. We got the big Hughes Brothers battle on

509
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 5: Monday night when Jack and Luke come to town, so

510
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 5: that'll be a blast. His parents are going to be

511
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 5: in town. So there's a lot of really cool games

512
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 5: to look forward to. If you're if you're a wild

513
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 5: fan looking to you know, come to come out to

514
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 5: Grant because you know, Riena here for some of these

515
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 5: home games before the Olympics.

516
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 3: I think you just had a hugely deep dive, didn't

517
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 3: you guys, and yeah, we did today.

518
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we did. We did a video story today

519
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 4: with Shana Goldman, who's one of our Joe and.

520
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 5: I who's she she's one of our analytics experts, and

521
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 5: she's great at video and things like that. And we

522
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 5: have a new deal with New York Times and Athletics

523
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 5: with the NHL where they essentially cut video for us,

524
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 5: and so they they really you know, we essentially said

525
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 5: what we wanted and they send it to us and

526
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 5: we just basically broke down breakdown, breakouts and you know,

527
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 5: all the things that he's done, well, that's really turned

528
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 5: this game. I mean, you know, I was talking to

529
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 5: Lane Lambert this morning and asked him about the Wild

530
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 5: and he pointed out that the Wild were nineteenth and

531
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 5: next Spectacles before Quinn got there and has already skyrocketed

532
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 5: up to fifth.

533
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 4: Their their blue line. It's not just Quinn.

534
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 5: Their blue line is now tied for the first, you know,

535
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 5: most points in the NHL since he's been here. So

536
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 5: everything about the Wild offensively has changed for the good

537
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 5: since Quinn got here.

538
00:23:58,359 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 4: And so that's still by the way.

539
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 5: What they're hoping for with the Olympics as well, is

540
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 5: that he's just going to add more offense by being there.

541
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,199
Speaker 5: So I'm really I've done a lot of reporting with

542
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 5: Quinn here this trip. I've sat down with him four

543
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 5: or five different kind of short little interviews here to

544
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 5: gather for other stories that we have coming. I'm getting

545
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 5: together with his parents this weekend as well for that

546
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 5: big Hughes Brothers story. I have a lot of really

547
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 5: really good, colorful stuff that'll be in that Monday article

548
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 5: as well.

549
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 2: Well, that's that's even better.

550
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 3: Are you considering doing any mediating between one of your colleagues,

551
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 3: John Krazinski and Kevin Falness.

552
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, man, you know, like and yeah, I'm

553
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 5: on this. I'm on the FALLNSS side here. It's it's hockey.

554
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 5: He wants he wants more respect out of John for

555
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 5: for our incredible sport. And you know, some of us

556
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 5: that are around this this sport have to have to

557
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 5: fight for it, and John just takes some cheap shots.

558
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 5: I saw the one lately about how how it's so

559
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 5: hard to win games in the NHL that come come

560
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 5: up with different I use for losses and everything.

561
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I'm kidding them.

562
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 2: No, what's funny about it?

563
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 3: Is it starts so innocently, because all that happens is

564
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 3: I lay out the guest lineup, and then if there's

565
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 3: not a hockey person on it, Fawles does this little

566
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 3: monocle emoji guy looking for him, looking for you know,

567
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 3: any hint of a hockey guest, and and then it

568
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 3: only takes one Johnny response to the monocle emoji for

569
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 3: it to start, and then it's almost like it doesn't.

570
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 3: And I suggested, I've said this to Blake Moore as well,

571
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 3: that he's a producer of Beyond the Pond, they should

572
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 3: book Krazinski for Beyond the Pond because those guys, even

573
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 3: without them, you know, they mix it up pretty good

574
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 3: most of the time. So it would I think, even

575
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 3: if there's a little tension involved, that's part of what

576
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 3: beyond what's made Beyond the Pond so great.

577
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I hey, I'm all for you. First of all,

578
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 5: Kevin is a very believe it or not, as much

579
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 5: as I like to rip him, he's a very smart,

580
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 5: very quick, winning person. So and and we know from

581
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 5: John that he could talk about anything and be about it.

582
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 5: So I think the two of them would actually have

583
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 5: a blast. The problem is Pat mc Letty would have

584
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 5: to chime in, and you know, then we don't you know,

585
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 5: that might ruin the eloquence, but uh, and I meant

586
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 5: I'm saying that kiddingly, of course, but I think that'd

587
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 5: be a great, great thing.

588
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 4: Uh, you know John every now and then going.

589
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 5: On absolutely, yeah, absolutely, and then and then John could

590
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 5: really feel the stress that I feel being around Famas.

591
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to deal with it all the time, exactly.

592
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 3: I just want to follow us on like pregame shows

593
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 3: and postgame show.

594
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 2: I want him to do more live stuff.

595
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,959
Speaker 3: Everything's like, let's let's run let's re wrack our interview

596
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 3: with Bill Ghon for the sixth time. I mean, come on,

597
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 3: let's just you know, let's have some original stuff. That's

598
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 3: all I'm asking exactly.

599
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 5: And you know he's all about the just hearing himself talk. Yes,

600
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,239
Speaker 5: so you know, even if he has to rerun an

601
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 5: interview that he did in weeks.

602
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 3: Ago, weeks ago, awesome. Great to catch up my friend,

603
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,320

Speaker 5: is doing well.

607

Speaker 2: Afar Y's for sure, Thanks sir, Thanks for sir.

609
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 3: Michael Russo of Russo Radio Wild tonight, and he basically says,

610
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 3: don't sleep on your Seattle Kraken, right, So, an opponent

611
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 3: that's playing pretty well right now all the I'm assuming

612
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 3: the actional start at eight forty five, that is correct,

613
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 3: and that should be eight thirty, Like I said, should

614
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 3: be a thirty minute pregame show.

615
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 2: But that's just me. I've said that before and I'll

616
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 2: see it again.

617
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,480

00:27:54,160 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio Channel Danny.

625
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 3: Imagine State Fair Johnny showing up for Beyond the Pond.

626
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 2: That'd be good too. State Fair is indeed right around

627
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 2: the corner. Does he have a key card? Doors open?

628
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 3: That's a good question. I'm on, I don't think Johnny's

629
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 3: got a key card. Maybe he does. We shouldn't he

630
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 3: didn't commit enough. I mean, Glenn Mason should. In fact,

631
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 3: I think Mace does have a key card, doesn't he.

632
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 3: I think I don't think he has to wait for anybody. Yeah,

633
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 3: somebody said they were on the same flight, Mace was

634
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 3: down to Florida and he was in seat like thirty

635
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 3: four C and they were impressed.

636
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 2: That.

637
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 3: You know, they just assumed he's Mace and be up

638
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 3: with the blue bloods eing and to be in coach,

639
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 3: for God's sake, car flights. That's a good question. I'll

640
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 3: ask him that next time if indeed that was the

641
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 3: the case. He's may strikes me as a guy who's

642
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 3: watched who's always watched his pennies, you know, I mean,

643
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 3: he made good money. He didn't make the kind of

644
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 3: money the coaches do today, but he made good money.

645
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 3: I do have a I know there's a lot of

646
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 3: serious stuff, and we've attempted to address it yesterday and today,

647
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 3: and we might again before this program is done. But

648
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 3: does it strike anybody else that there's a on a

649
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 3: much less important level, a kind of cruelty and danger

650
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 3: to the weather.

651
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 2: Pattern we are currently in.

652
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 3: Because on the one hand, you could say well, at

653
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 3: least it's not frigid, right that we're not below zero

654
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 3: either from a temperature standpoint or a windshill standpoint right

655
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 3: where where a lot of days based. I think yesterday

656
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 3: we hit forty. Today, I think we're in the thirties

657
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 3: and not particularly cold at night. But it is my

658
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 3: theory that because of all the snow we've gotten, the

659
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 3: intermittent snow. I think in December, did we have twenty

660
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 3: inches total of snow? I thought I read whatever it was.

661
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 3: I think there weren't a lot of major snows, but

662
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 3: there were enough medium sized snows. And it is my

663
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 3: theory that the I don't I can't you know, vouch

664
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 3: from this from a meteorological standpoint, but from my untrained eye,

665
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 3: it looks like it's a cruel pattern in which it

666
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 3: thaws some and then we get this coating of ice

667
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 3: that is so thin that it's diabolical because as as

668
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 3: as that we get to later in the day, it

669
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 3: freezes again and then it goes through the same whole

670
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 3: process that, in an odd sort of way, it's worse

671
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 3: than if we're just at twenty degree high of twenty

672
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 3: and a low of five.

673
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 2: You know what, I'm saying.

674
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 3: I mean every place I go there's slick spots. You

675
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 3: know that you don't know it's coming, it's it's here,

676
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 3: it's there. It might be freezing fog, which guards you

677
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 3: talked about a couple of days ago, might be what

678
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 3: they call in the business black eyes.

679
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 2: But and here's the other thing.

680
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 3: Parking lots are a threat to society right now because

681
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 3: even if they're salted well, the pattern kind of makes

682
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 3: it impossible for there to not be skating rinks all

683
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 3: over the place. We've had too much snow this year

684
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 3: for it to be otherwise. I would like to hear

685
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 3: from some of our weather experts on.

686
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 2: That point.

687
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 3: Ratchewan Brian Caffey in text line is at six four

688
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 3: six eighty six.

689
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 2: Do you know what I'm talking about? Don't you notice?

690
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 2: It's just it's a mess.

691
00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: I was slipping on the way in because there's there's

692
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: the way I get to the station. If there's traffic

693
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: and there's a normal way I go. Yeah, this morning,

694
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: when I was coming in for the Paul Allen project,

695
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: I went the traffic on the project it was and

696
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: I was slipping and sliding. I was not expecting it

697
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: at all. And then any target you go to theirs slush. Yeah,

698
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: basics you have to wear.

699
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 2: Are you old enough?

700
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:25,479
Speaker 3: Did you ever call your boots growing up galoshes? Now

701
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 3: in the old days, in the sixties, they called boots galoshes,

702
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 3: and they were the worst, the uncoolest boot ever made.

703
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 3: If you were a kid, at least you know. I

704
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 3: was forced to wear them. They had the big, big

705
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 3: ass buckles on them. And here was the kicker on

706
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 3: those that style of galosh is it singular of goloshes galosh?

707
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 2: I don't know.

708
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 3: They were too tight a fit like I couldn't. It

709
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 3: would be very difficult to get the boot on or off.

710
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 3: So what the trick would be, You'd put a plastic

711
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 3: bag over your foot and then slide your foot in

712
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 3: with the help of the plastic bag rather than a shoehorn,

713
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 3: and you just have the you so you'd have your

714
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 3: you'd have your sock, you'd have the plastic bag, and

715
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 3: then you've had you had the boot. But it was undignified.

716
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 3: It was hard to get the boots on. It didn't

717
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 3: look cool doing it. They didn't look cool the way

718
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 3: they were buckled awful.

719
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 2: Did they keep your feet dry though?

720
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 3: They did they did do that, But you're a hundred

721
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 3: percent right. The slush is also ply it's just too messy.

722
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 3: It's either too messy or too risky one or the

723
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 3: other when it when there, because you could be going

724
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 3: along mining your own business.

725
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 2: Oh, slush, slush, slush, slush.

726
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden there's an ice patch.

727
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 3: That's kind of what we're living right now. At which

728
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 3: point I asked the question that's been asked many times.

729
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 2: Before, what are we doing here?

730
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 3: We should not have to make the sacrifices that we

731
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 3: need to make in order to exist in this sort

732
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 3: of climate.

733
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 2: I'm convinced when.

734
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: You pull up to a grocery store and you step

735
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 1: out and you hear squish, Yes, worst thing ever it is.

736
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 3: It's bad, especially if you don't have a proper shoe,

737
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 3: you know, waterproof shoe or boot on you're going with

738
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,919
Speaker 3: that that that shoe's dead right, and.

739
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,439
Speaker 2: The water just seeps right up through the heel.

740
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 3: It's awful. It's the worst. It's the very worst thing.

741
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 3: I got some galoshes texts that have come in. Let's

742
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 3: get caught up with UH in terms of our commercial lineup,

743
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 3: and then we'll come back and get to some of

744
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 3: these texts. Maybe prepare for a little college football tournament conversation. Uh,

745
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 3: University of Miami and old miss right, that's the game

746
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 3: that's coming up tonight, and then tomorrow night it's Indiana

747
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 3: of course in the rematch against the Oregon Ducks State t.

748
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: Never miss your chance to know what the latest sports

754
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 3: Lance and Shaska checks in and rights. I remember growing

755
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 3: up in northern Minnesota, my grandma would have us put

756
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 3: old plastic bread bags on our feet before putting on

757
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 3: our winter boots, not because it was to get them off,

758
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,399
Speaker 3: but because they weren't very waterproof, so we use them

759
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 3: to keep our feet dry and warmer. Our boots were

760
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 3: used hand me downs. They typically didn't fit and had

761
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:41,240
Speaker 3: barely any insulation left.

762
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 2: That sounds very believable, Dan.

763
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 3: We had these those black rubber pullovers that looked like

764
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 3: inner tube rubber with one big zipper instead of the buckles.

765
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a that was the other verse.

766
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 3: It's just that was a time where you know, now

767
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 3: there's a millionariations of fashion boots, right, I mean, it's unbelievable,

768
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 3: and there just weren't that many options then. It wasn't

769
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,959
Speaker 3: that much of a specialty. It was more about the utility,

770
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 3: and you just had to live with the fact that

771
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 3: you looked like an idiot wearing them, but everybody did

772
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 3: so allegedly, no one was at a disadvantage if everybody

773
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 3: was in the same position. Rube Paul writes, Dan, this

774
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 3: weather winding is not endearing you to the ones of us.

775
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 3: Is to keep this s uff you may never catch

776
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,720
Speaker 3: on around these parts.

777
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 2: That's salesroopall.

778
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,240
Speaker 3: Perhaps so best boots in the world are for military

779
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 3: surplus paratrooper boots one hundred percent waterproof, rated to like

780
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 3: negative thirty degrees fahrenheit, and on the cheap. Dan, I

781
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:49,919
Speaker 3: remember those galoshes and always used wonder bread bags for protection. Yeah,

782
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 3: you could use baggies or you could use wonderbread bags.

783
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 2: Either one would work.

784
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 3: I was born in nineteen sixty five and dealt a

785
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 3: little bit with those goloshes. In the early seventies, the

786
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 3: buckles were the word to deal with, especially while having

787
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 3: frozen fingers. Larry Mondelo guys checked in on the subject.

788
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 3: Haven't heard from him in a while. You guys are right,

789
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,399
Speaker 3: you need to be careful walking anywhere. We don't need

790
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 3: Dan suffering a fractured sacro iliac also known as a

791
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 3: broken butt. The term that the doc, the emergency room

792
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 3: doctor used to me was a pierced sacro iliact and

793
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 3: it was one of the more painful injuries of my career,

794
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,399
Speaker 3: There's not any question. And it was at the edge

795
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 3: of my driveway. It was not very good. Where was

796
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:41,879
Speaker 3: the one I wanted to get to, Dan? You seem

797
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,879
Speaker 3: like someone who that wore moon boots. No, I did

798
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,280
Speaker 3: not wear moon boots.

799
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 2: Dan.

800
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 3: Slip over ice cleats or a lifesaver basically a strap

801
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 3: that goes around your boots, especially a strap that goes

802
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 3: around gives your traction at the arch of your feet. Well,

803
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 3: all want better That I got as a gift actually

804
00:37:58,160 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 3: from my sisters.

805
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 2: Boots.

806
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 3: I don't even know what you call them, but they're

807
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 3: like spikes in the bottom of them, you know, for

808
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 3: for traction and they.

809
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 2: Are revolutionary for me.

810
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 3: My problem is I probably don't wear them often enough

811
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 3: because they feel I still, even though they look okay,

812
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 3: I feel kind of clunky in them. And if you

813
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 3: wear them on a floor, like a linoleum kind of

814
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 3: a floor, non carpet, people can hear you coming from

815
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 3: like five miles away. It's incredible. It's like a din

816
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 3: when your foot when those spikes hit the floor. But

817
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 3: I have learned the hard way that that's the way

818
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 3: to go it all It seriously is it makes now.

819
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 3: The danger though, is always you can get cocky in them.

820
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,720
Speaker 3: And even though they definitely lessen the chance you're gonna slip,

821
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 3: slide and fall, you still have to respect the ice

822
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 3: enough to where don't get crazy, don't try to do

823
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 3: sprints in them, don't try to go too fast, still

824
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 3: try to move a deliberate fait.

825
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 2: Do you have any of those kinds of shoe that

826
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 2: I'm talking about. I don't, not the spiked ones, but

827
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 2: I know what you're talking about.

828
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't. You can't go crazy with them. You

829
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: gotta respect them and stuff. And the other thing I

830
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: wanted to note is I've been on the fan for

831
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,320
Speaker 1: six years and I think I know all the bits

832
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: and all the inside stories.

833
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:20,359
Speaker 3: Yes, first time I've heard of it. Uh, sacrilliac sacriliac.

834
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 3: It's it's in the butt area, I think, yeah, basically, and.

835
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 2: It was, and I it's a joint in the tail.

836
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 3: Here's the way it felt when I went down it

837
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 3: cause what I what I hurt was I ended up

838
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 3: when I went down and tumbled, I hit a hard

839
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 3: piece of ice and right at the wrong spot.

840
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 2: And it felt like a comet.

841
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 3: I mean, it was a bad burning and a bad

842
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 3: just a bad pain. But I wouldn't have I don't

843
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 3: even know that I knew before that where the sacro

844
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 3: iliact was. But then they did the I think they

845
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 3: must have done. They either did an ext they did

846
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 3: something and they said, well, yes, this is you. But

847
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 3: see I never I didn't know you could pierce your

848
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:09,760
Speaker 3: sacri realiact. That's what he called it, a pierced shacker

849
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 3: really act. Is that just is that different from breaking?

850
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 3: Can you fracture your sacoreliac? It's a joint, right, yeah,

851
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 3: so it says as a joke.

852
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: So I googled it pierce sack really act because I

853
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: was like, I want to know and the AI overlords

854
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: say that it likely refers to medical procedures targeting the

855
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: sacriliac joint relief, so that can't be what it is.

856
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 2: Something well miss maybe he missed. I don't know.

857
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 3: I just know it was in a lot of pain.

858
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 3: It went away well. And what's funny about it. I

859
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 3: talked about it on the air, and you know our listeners,

860
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 3: they are always so reassuring. Yes, one guy texted and

861
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:48,399
Speaker 3: he said, oh my god, my wife suffered this same

862
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:53,439
Speaker 3: injury nine years ago and she's never recovered. I'm going, oh,

863
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 3: thanks a lot for that. But now, fortunately for me,

864
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 3: it's worked out a little bit better. I haven't noticed

865
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 3: any recurring issue. But I he seemed to want to

866
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 3: go out of his way to basically say, you're you're

867
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 3: stuck with misery physically speaking, for the rest of your existence.

868
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 2: How long ago is this?

869
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 3: This is like I got it. I want to say

870
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 3: it's like five years ago something. It's been a while

871
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 3: quite sometimes thought I've heard it all. Yaktracks people all

872
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 3: and I had those, but I'm not very good so yaktracks,

873
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 3: as I understand them, they're big pieces of metal that

874
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 3: you basically fit over whatever shoe you have on, you

875
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 3: wear them on the outside of that shoe.

876
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 2: I'm not.

877
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 3: When it comes to spatial relations and mechanical stuff. I'm

878
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 3: a disaster. So my luck with yaktracks is terrible because

879
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 3: I am not good at fitting them properly over the shoe.

880
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 3: And if you don't fit them probably properly, can fall off,

881
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 3: You can trip and fall because they're you know, sticking

882
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 3: out in places that he shouldn't be. But that's what

883
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 3: a lot of people go with. Instead of actually getting

884
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 3: a boot, they just put the yacttrack over whatever shoe

885
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 3: that they're and so and then changes the versatility of

886
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 3: that shoe, if it makes sense.

887
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: That's what I was imagining earlier. So yeah, the actually, yeah,

888
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 1: I've seen these before. Okay, Dan, please check this is

889
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: a callback. This is from Bethesda, Maryland. Guy, Please check

890
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 1: the Greenland US Charter Circle nineteen fifty one. Basically, it

891
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: gives us free reign to do basically whatever we want,

892
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: militarily or otherwise. I have to go back and check

893
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 1: the Greenland US Charter to find out if that's true.

894
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 3: That was one of the part of the discussion that

895
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 3: came up with our guy Michael Hurley, who by the way.

896
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 3: He had mentioned that he's at his place out west

897
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 3: in Montana. He sent me a photo of his spread

898
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 3: and he's doing okay, Mike Hurley, with all the consulting

899
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,280
Speaker 3: he's doing. So it's a beautiful looks like a beautiful place.

900
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,240
Speaker 3: It seems like the kind of place that lou Nanny

901
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 3: would would own. For example, you know, great backdrop mountains

902
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 3: looked to very Cozy's not the right work is bigger

903
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 3: than that, but looked very very nice. Let's pause top

904
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 3: of the hour break. I do want to talk a

907
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,080

Speaker 2: Tonight and then Wild on the big Stick. That's probably station.

933
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 2: Probably it.

934
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:50,840
Speaker 3: Will you have any interest do you have any interest

935
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 3: in the By the way, did I see the University

936
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 3: of Wisconsin is losing via the dreaded portal?

937
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 2: A very good defensive player.

938
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 3: He's on the move to where did I see He's

939
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,280
Speaker 3: headed someplace better?

940
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: Ohio State Ohio State linebacker yeah, so, I mean that's

941
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: the portal. They come and they go that. The good

942
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 1: news is they got there. Did they get a QB?

943
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: They got a QB kidding a quarterback from Old Dominion,

944
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:19,760
Speaker 1: I'm told at least I saw it on a tweet

945
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: from that Pete Fame all.

946
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 2: I don't know, an.

947
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: I don't follow college sports insiders closely as I once did.

948
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 2: Apparently that was their biggest target. So they got us important.

949
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 1: And then they got a running back from Iowa State

950
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 1: who went to my high school, Devoine, Iowa.

951
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:35,879
Speaker 2: He's going to Wisconsin as well.

952
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 3: Maybe things are about to look up, think about it

953
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 3: or not?

954
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,399
Speaker 2: In Madison, maybe not, that's true.

955
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 1: Knowing Wisconsin will probably have a catastrophic injury Week one,

956
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: and then we'll have a backup and they'll not be

957
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: bull eligible.

958
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 2: My Hoosiers are cleaning up.

959
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 3: Apparently in the portal they got the most highly coveted quarterback.

960
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 2: Where did he? Where is he coming from? Is a TCU.

961
00:45:56,200 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 3: I believe they've got two of the best three allegedly coming,

962
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 3: and they got a couple defensive players. The empire, it's

963
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 3: very quickly going to become an empire. It's very very

964
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 3: very clear they're taking now full advantage of their success

965
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 3: and the portal as well. So tonight it's Ole miss Miami,

966
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 3: and then tomorrow night it's Indiana taking on the Oregon Ducks.

967
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 3: We mentioned earlier in the show, we didn't have top

968
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 3: five top five at five, but another head coach has

969
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 3: been dismissed, Mike McDaniel from the Miami Dolphins.

970
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:32,479
Speaker 2: So now we're at eight.

971
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 3: I believe eight openings, yep, which is a lot, right,

972
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 3: that's a quarter of the league.

973
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 2: Now, I was asking GUARDSI this.

974
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 3: That seems high to me, but he thinks it's been

975
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,720
Speaker 3: about it's usually the same number every year. That seems

976
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 3: a bit high. Also worth noting that apparently the Dallas

977
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 3: Cowboys have requested permission to speak with Vikings defensive pass

978
00:46:55,680 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 3: game coordinator Dronte Jones, among others. And you know, I

979
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:05,760
Speaker 3: wondered whether it was possible that Jerry Jones being Jerry Jones,

980
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 3: that he'd say, I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll

981
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:10,839
Speaker 3: break the bank to bring in Brian Flores. I'm so

982
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 3: sick of our defense being awful. I'll make I'll be

983
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 3: glad to make him the highest paid defensive coordinator in

984
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 3: league history. Now, that's a lateral move, but I think

985
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 3: he could make it he being B Flow because he's

986
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 3: not under contract right now. I don't think so why

987
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:30,959
Speaker 3: would he is it? Maybe it's a fair question because

988
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 3: he says he likes it here, et cetera. But we

989
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 3: will keep an eye and so far, it sounds as if,

990
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 3: on the record, we have one team that has expressed

991
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 3: interest in gaining permission to chat with Bflow as a

992
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:50,839
Speaker 3: head coaching candidate for the Baltimore Ravens job. Right it

993
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 3: may well be that that's not going to be the last.

994
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 3: You know, It's funny. I when the news broke that

995
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 3: Pete Carroll was coming back to coaching and he was

996
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 3: going to coach the Raiders, welcomed it. I just I

997
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 3: think the league's more has always been more interesting with

998
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 3: him in it. I think he's been a very good coach.

999
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 3: He may be passed it now. I don't know, but

1000
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:12,720
Speaker 3: it's hard to tell. Given the dysfunction with the Raiders.

1001
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 3: They didn't really their quarterback situation I didn't think was

1002
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 3: very tenable. They got a lot of other issues. But

1003
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 3: he is another one of those dismissed and I don't

1004
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 3: know if he's going to get another shot. I don't

1005
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 3: even know if he's looking for a shot. The assumption

1006
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 3: is John Harbaugh will land correct, who's the Cleveland Browns

1007
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 3: guy who got fired?

1008
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,319
Speaker 2: Who Stefanski is?

1009
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 3: I thought I heard he was a front runner for

1010
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 3: the Giants was, but I don't know if that was before.

1011
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:42,319
Speaker 2: Harbaugh John Harball became available. Not sure. But we'll see

1012
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:43,879
Speaker 2: how this thing plays out.

1013
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 3: But when the number gets up to eight, you think

1014
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 3: the odds just indicate there's a good chance that Flores

1015
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 3: is going to get another crack at it. Now, you know,

1016
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 3: you could you could make the argument he may be

1017
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 3: judicious about where he is willing to go. You don't

1018
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 3: want to and your second time go to a place

1019
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 3: where it's going to be really, really hard to win,

1020
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 3: because you might not get a third shot. And I'll

1021
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 3: be very curious to see. You know, there are a

1022
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 3: lot of rumors about him maybe with the Raiders. Is

1023
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:13,320
Speaker 3: that possible?

1024
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1025
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 3: I guess it might well be, maybe the Tom Brady

1026
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 3: part of it. But you're back to who's your quarterback

1027
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 3: going to be? You know you've got to get I

1028
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,280
Speaker 3: guess something going at the quarterback position.

1029
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 2: Six to one to two guy.

1030
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:29,359
Speaker 3: Rights, I walk my dog and listen to you every

1031
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 3: day at this time, as you solicited stories. I stepped

1032
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 3: on black eyes, did a full backwards spread eagle, no injury.

1033
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 3: All's well, that ends well, carry on. Well, I'm with

1034
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 3: you a man six one two guy. I can feel it.

1035
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 3: It's not a good feeling. But the most important thing

1036
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 3: is you survived. You may learn this, you may be

1037
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:57,799
Speaker 3: too young to recognize it now, but something that does

1038
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:03,760
Speaker 3: come with age, I think is a deeper understanding at

1039
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 3: just how lethal falling can be.

1040
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 2: It's the stories are out there.

1041
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 3: It's amazing because sometimes it's literally your head and for

1042
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 3: all the obvious reasons that can be dangerous regardless of age.

1043
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 3: But you spend a lot more time, at least, I'm

1044
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 3: a lot more deliberate.

1045
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 2: It's not like I can't move, but it's that.

1046
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:31,840
Speaker 3: I'm a lot more deliberate about watching each step, like

1047
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 3: where I'm going, Like I'm going down steps, as opposed

1048
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 3: to when you're younger, you just go. You just sprint

1049
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:40,840
Speaker 3: down the steps, yeah, not worrying about a misstep or

1050
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 3: slipping or whatever the case may be. As you get

1051
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 3: older and you learn how many people end up with

1052
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 3: serious injuries falling in all sorts of ways, whether you're walking,

1053
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 3: on a bicycle or whatever the case may be.

1054
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 2: I think you show a lot more respect for.

1055
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 3: The dangers that are associated with doing exactly that.

1056
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 4: I mean.

1057
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: I I was moving someone the other day and I

1058
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 1: thought there was one step than there was. Yes, that's

1059
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 1: bad to I fell. I mean I was dou Oh yeah,

1060
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 1: I mean that I had a giant like tubberware tub

1061
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:19,360
Speaker 1: and I fell forward. I stopped like seventy percent of

1062
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 1: my fall with that, but I still hit my knees

1063
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:23,879
Speaker 1: very hard. One good nap and I was over it.

1064
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:28,279
Speaker 1: So it's I'm enjoying that. Well yeah, well, well I've

1065
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 1: got it.

1066
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 3: Well, I I mean to show the stupidity of it

1067
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 3: or the recklessness of well, I can't even really say

1068
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 3: youth because it wasn't like I was twenty when this happened.

1069
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 3: I have, like I've I've torn ligaments in my ankles

1070
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 3: a couple of times, literally not paying attention to the

1071
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 3: next step and let my ankle kind of collapsing on

1072
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 3: me and I just but it's because I'm going too

1073
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 3: fast or I'm not okay, there's the next step, look

1074
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:59,399
Speaker 3: down there follow your foot. So it go it it,

1075
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 3: it takes, it descends correctly. So and maybe maybe it's

1076
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 3: just the clutch in me that could be it too.

1077
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 3: Two eight Guy asked, Dan, do you remember a segment

1078
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 3: you used to do called Souley Sully or Solahi or slay. Hey,

1079
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 3: you should bring that back for current events, all time classic.

1080
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 2: He's got a better memory than me.

1081
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:26,319
Speaker 3: I do remember something about it, but I don't remember.

1082
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 2: What the bit was. I don't remember how we presented it.

1083
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:34,240
Speaker 3: So if two and eight Guy can remember more detail

1084
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 3: about it, I will gladly write that down and consider

1085
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 3: bringing it back, because like many shows in the fan,

1086
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,880
Speaker 3: we do love to bring things back and run them

1087
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 3: into the ground over and over and over again. Example

1088
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 3: Craig from Boston, Massachusetts. My mother in law's death was

1089
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:55,360
Speaker 3: attributed to a fall. Now that's a worst case scenario,

1090
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:59,800
Speaker 3: but the body is weird on what hits at the

1091
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 3: long time, especially if it's the head. It's it's basically

1092
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 3: how my father passed away. I just talked to him

1093
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 3: earlier that night. The same night, I just picked up food.

1094
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:15,839
Speaker 3: I can't remember where we were living in Victoria at

1095
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:19,799
Speaker 3: the time, and just got off the phone with him,

1096
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 3: and he had been he was in his office. He

1097
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 3: was in a condo at that point, and he was

1098
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 3: standing and then he realized he was looking at some

1099
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:33,800
Speaker 3: papers in front of him. Well, it was one of

1100
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 3: those deals where you know how sometimes you have a

1101
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 3: stool or a backless chair, it's right behind you, and

1102
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 3: you think you can just sort of ease back onto it,

1103
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 3: but you're not always up high enough and so you

1104
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 3: catch just the front end of it. Well, he only

1105
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 3: caught the front end. It up ended on him and

1106
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 3: he ended up hitting his head. Now, he didn't black

1107
00:53:56,640 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 3: out at that point, but he was worried ate enough

1108
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 3: about the bump that he called my sister because he

1109
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 3: had had two heart bypass operations, so he had he's

1110
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 3: not a lot of blood finters, and when you're on

1111
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 3: blood thinners, you got to worry about stuff like that.

1112
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 3: But you know, bleeding in the brain. And sure enough,

1113
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 3: within two hours he was all but gone. Because they

1114
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:25,879
Speaker 3: did tests there was blood on the brain. They tried

1115
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:29,279
Speaker 3: to take some of that pressure off. Worked for a

1116
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 3: little while, but it came right back and there were

1117
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 3: limited options at that point and he just kind of went.

1118
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 3: It's so it's the story I heard from Texter it

1119
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 3: now my dad had, like I said, the blood thinners,

1120
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 3: which made it more likely that something bad would happen.

1121
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 3: On the other hand, the blood thinners probably kept him

1122
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:49,840
Speaker 3: alive for a long time. So you know, everything's a

1123
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:52,239
Speaker 3: trade off, but it is a reminder, especially in this

1124
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 3: kind of weather, of trying at least to give yourself

1125
00:54:55,520 --> 00:55:00,319
Speaker 3: the best shot. One more quick break and then come

1126
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,879
Speaker 3: back and give you some highlights from today's program, give

1127
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 3: you the very latest on a couple of things that

1128
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 3: the governor had to say earlier today, and where we

1129
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,719
Speaker 3: are on the A Section story, as well as a

1130
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:16,440
Speaker 3: couple of other things, and as we prepare you for

1131
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 3: a Friday program as well.

1132
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:25,080
Speaker 2: Stay tuned. It's the bumper to Bumper show rap. It's

1133
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 2: probably by American pressure. Two and eight Guy is back

1134
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 2: with the goods Man.

1135
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 3: I appreciate the when listeners have a better recollection of

1136
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 3: things we did a long time ago than the host does.

1137
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 2: That's gold Man.

1138
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 3: And he had talked about a segment that we called

1139
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 3: Suliman Sully or Slahi. The segment was whether someone's actions

1140
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 3: were more like nah yas Suleiman octimom Octoman look up octomom.

1141
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:07,879
Speaker 3: If you're curious Sullenberger, the miracle on, the Hudson guy,

1142
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 3: or the Salahi couple, the Real Housewives of DC that

1143
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 3: had some rags outrageous events, that's a really good callback.

1144
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 3: I hadn't thought of that in a long time, and

1145
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 3: maybe we will try to bring that back as well. Dan,

1146
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:25,840
Speaker 3: I've almost died walking downstairs at our home with the

1147
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 3: laundry basket or someone else that blocks my vision. The

1148
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 3: reason being we have two golden retrievers who love to

1149
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 3: leave toys on the stairs. Now, like you, I look

1150
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:46,440
Speaker 3: before I step. Sorry about your dad's story. Per CDC,

1151
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 3: falls are the leading cause of injury for adults ages

1152
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 3: sixty five years and older. One in four older adults

1153
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 3: report falling.

1154
00:56:58,520 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 2: Every year.

1155
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:03,239
Speaker 3: Not at all surprised. I'm a physical therapist in a

1156
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:07,879
Speaker 3: nursing home. Seventy five percent of my residents admit due

1157
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 3: to a fall. Clayton writes, if your Hoosiers make it

1158
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:14,279
Speaker 3: to the Championship round, what are the chances that you

1159
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 3: and Bosich will be in Miami for the game. Well,

1160
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 3: speaking of falls, Bosich, who now has retired and has

1161
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 3: become I always thought of him mainly as a White

1162
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 3: Sox room. He is an even bigger Indiana University football

1163
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 3: and basketball roup. He has completely lost himself in this story.

1164
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 3: For me, it's cool he's completely lost himself in it,

1165
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 3: but he's not fully recovered from falling.

1166
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 2: Well, it wasn't really a fall.

1167
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:49,000
Speaker 3: He was mowing his lawn, ran into a divot, went down,

1168
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:52,920
Speaker 3: and then made it worse by trying to get up,

1169
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 3: and the act of getting up suffered a compound fracture

1170
00:57:56,960 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 3: in which the bone pierced the skin. And he is

1171
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 3: still He's doing much better, but I don't think he

1172
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 3: feels like he's confident enough to it'll make that kind

1173
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 3: of trip at UH at this point, so I don't

1174
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 3: know if I'll make it, but I will certainly be

1175
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 3: watching very very closely. I want to thank two outstanding

1176
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 3: guests today. We were joined by Michael Russo at five

1177
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 3: oh two. It is Hockey Night and the Fan Tonight

1178
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 3: the a Wild in Seattle to take on the Crack

1179
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 3: and pregame Show eight forty five on the Timberwolves Channel.

1180
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 3: Tonight Wolves return to action hosting. This is the first

1181
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 3: of a two game home and home with the Cleveland Cavaliers,

1182
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 3: and I think that's a seven o'clock start, So I'm

1183
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 3: assuming six forty five pregame show on the Timberwolves channel

1184
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 3: or is it on the Wolf?

1185
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,240
Speaker 2: Is it on the fan? No, Timberwolves channel.

1186
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's got yeah, because you got the you got

1187
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 3: the wild game later, that's right. Oh, get in the

1188
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:58,440
Speaker 3: way of it, and then Golden Gover women's basketball on

1189
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 3: the plus with guards. He's a yes, yes. I don't

1190
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:03,440
Speaker 3: even know who they're playing tonight, do you? Is it

1191
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 3: a big end game?

1192
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 1: Off the top of my head, I want to say

1193
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 1: the conference schedule has already started.

1194
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:07,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, it has.

1195
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure it's a because they lost in Michigan.

1196
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,040
Speaker 3: I think Michigan came from behind to beat him. The

1197
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 3: other night, they're playing the Wildcats of Northwestern. Northwestern Wildcats

1198
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 3: who the Men beat at Northwestern last week. Maybe I'll

1199
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 3: make another another attempt, even on game day to have

1200
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 3: a minute or two of Eric Musselman, although he's locked

1201
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 3: in on game day that might be kind of tough

1202
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 3: to ask.

1203
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:31,080
Speaker 2: Well, we'll try.

1204
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 3: Nevertheless, I also want to thank Michael Hurley, geopolitical big Knocker.

1205
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:40,880
Speaker 3: The Bumper to Bumper program we talked about got caught

1206
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 3: up on a number of international stories that we really

1207
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 3: haven't gotten to yet for all the obvious reasons. And

1208
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 3: he was excellent as always. He joined us at about

1209
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:54,320
Speaker 3: four fifteen or so. He's very conscious of how well

1210
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:57,080
Speaker 3: he does because he gets worried sometimes.

1211
00:59:57,080 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 2: Would I go on? Do my stories go on too long?

1212
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 3: I said, no, we want the stories, We want the

1213
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 3: historical illusions. That's the value that we think Minnesota's owned.

1214
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 3: Michael Hurley, former CIA officer, brings to the broadcast UH.

01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 3: Gone to be very clear about What Andy lueger said

1238
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 3: and What i've said, repeatedly anyone with a criminal record should.

1239
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:39,080
Speaker 3: Go there's not any question about, that as long as

1240
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:44,200
Speaker 3: we'd like to think proper procedure is being followed in those,

1241
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 3: cases but so there's not. Been if you want to

1242
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:52,120
Speaker 3: disagree with me or With andy or whoever regarding this whole,

1243
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:56,120
Speaker 3: issue that's, fair but don't misrepresent the position That i'm.

1244
01:01:56,120 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 3: Taking my issue isn't going after rapists or, gangsters although

1245
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 3: gangster can be a little bit. Tricky my issue is

1246
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:11,640
Speaker 3: the door to door wider sweeps showing up at various business,

1247
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 3: establishments et, cetera harassing an uber driver who had no

1248
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 3: difficulty establishing his. Bonafides the owners shouldn't be on people

1249
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 3: to establish their. Bonifides there should be specific reasons why

1250
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 3: you are approaching whoever you're. Approaching and that's my biggest,

1251
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:34,720
Speaker 3: issue leaving aside this particular is in this case in

1252
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:37,680
Speaker 3: which there's lots of disturbing elements regarding the law enforcement,

1253
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:41,680
Speaker 3: behavior there's the larger, question as we talked to a

1254
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 3: lot about, yesterday about what these sorts of sweeps make

1255
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 3: it more likely is going to. Happen and that is

1256
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:51,160
Speaker 3: sadly a good chance that there's going to be more

1257
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:54,200
Speaker 3: tragedy that they'll like took what took place. Yesterday so

1258
01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:58,919
Speaker 3: don't you can be in the opinion that everybody who's

1259
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 3: illegal should. GO i have that, opinion and you can't

01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:03,200
Speaker 3: even say what that was the mandate from the. President

1261
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 3: but don't misrepresent what's been said here regarding what concerns

1262
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:11,600
Speaker 3: have been, expressed because it has to do with specifically

1263
01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 3: not going after, people but exactly who you're going after

1264
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:18,080
