00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 2: Chris would be called the Broken Swing Club. But excited

22
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: for this event to take place. My intel indicates Chris,

23
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: you are a terrific golfer.

24
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: Is that accurate.

25
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 3: I would say I'm a pretty good golfer. I love golfer,

26
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 3: but about a seven handicap, So wherever you think that is. No,

27
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 3: I've been playing an awful lot the last couple of months.

28
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 3: So I am looking forward to the tournament. And it's

29
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 3: not only golf, it's not only the Boca area, but

30
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 3: what they do from a charity standpoint. I'm looking forward

31
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 3: to giving away a house to a deserving family next

32
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 3: week for Habitat for Humanity that's going to be completed

33
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 3: on the golf course I think on Wednesday. So not

34
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 3: only the money that they raise over six hundred thousand,

35
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 3: which is astronomical for the local area. And I've been

36
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 3: a resident of Boca over thirty five years, so to

37
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 3: see people doing great things and have the other legends

38
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 3: and the PGA veterans coming in like, it's going to

39
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 3: be an exciting week in both of ratone.

40
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 2: No, that sounds terrific. You can learn more, you can

41

46
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: and the exposure that you've had over the course of

47
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 2: your career. You can get pushed and pulled in a

48
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: lot of directions for different charities, but it sounds like

49
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: this one in particular, one is one that you've really

50
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 2: latched onto and have really been passionate about supporting.

51
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 3: Well, not only again a resident of Boca Ratone, I

52
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 3: like to build support the PGA Tour and the Champions

00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 3: and them continuing their golf career, but the National Football

54
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 3: League and the way they supported my career. So all

55
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 3: these things are a win win for me. The great brand,

56
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 3: two great brands coming together, that being our Champions Tour

57
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 3: and our NFL legends are gold jackets. So to have

58
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 3: those people in the town that I call home to

59
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 3: raise a lot of money for charity, eat a lot

60
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 3: of food, drink some drinks, make some birdies. But yeah,

61
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: it's going to be a great week.

62
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 2: No, that's that's awesome And I really appreciate, albeit on

63
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 2: short time, the time that you're giving me. This morning,

64
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: you know, I was just talking to another former Viking,

65
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 2: had a nice run here, Chad Greenway, and we were

66
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 2: talking about the NFL combine his experience in two thousand

67
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 2: and six fresh out of Iowa. What was there any

68
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: sort of combine or pre draft opportunity for you to

69
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: showcase yourself back in the eighties, Chris.

70
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if you guys looked it up,

71
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 3: but yes, the combine started before I got this, before

72
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 3: I came out of college so yet. But I didn't

73
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 3: play in the sixties.

74
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: No, I know, I know.

75
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 3: It very very similar to me, very very similar to

76
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 3: the way they do it now.

77
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was just here because even since I've been

78
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: working here at KFA, and how it's changed from just

79
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: a few radio stations on the concourse at Lucas Oil

80
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: Stadium to now quite the zoo that it's become throughout

81
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: the convention Center, and really how it can take hold

82
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: of Indianapolis, and you just hear kind of it used

83
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: to be, Okay, we'll go and see what young Chris

84
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 2: Carter is doing at the combine. But now the NFL

85
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: world just kind of descends on it. The exposure feels

86
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: like it's changed.

87
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: Well, I think everything in the NFL is big. There

88
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 3: is no event in the NFL. It's not a big deal.

89
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 3: You look at the draft, how it's evolved on the

90
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 3: pre draft the NFL was twelve months out of the year,

91
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 3: you know, three hundred and sixty five news days. They're

92
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 3: trying to capture everyone, and they do a great job

93
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 3: with the Combine. You look at the best three hundred

94
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 3: and fifty prospects coming out of college football, and now

95
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 3: because guys are staying in college longer, the prospects are

96
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 3: even better because they're a little more mature.

97
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 2: Absolutely, now to our favorite team, the Combine has a

98
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: chance to impact the Minnesota Vikings. Rob Brazinski the acting

99
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 2: general manager. Now he's been with the Vikings since the

100
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: late nineties. Did you ever have a chance to interact

101
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: or get to know Rob Brazinsky early in his Vikings

102
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 2: tenure in Minnesota?

103
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know Rob, know him well, great executive in

104
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 3: the NFL, has men for a long time, really good man,

105
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 3: good family man, really cares about the Purple. They're any

106
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 3: good hands until they transitioned over to the full time

107
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 3: general manager.

108
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, And moving forward, this team's in a tricky spot, Chris,

109
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 2: You following it as you do, just kind of watching

110
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 2: the first opportunity we all had to see JJ McCarthy

111
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 2: at the Helm and the trials and tribulations of that

112
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: combined with a team trying to maybe find their way

113
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 2: under the cap. Just what's top of mind for you

114
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: with this Minnesota Viking squad as we get closer to

115
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: the draft and then really start gearing up for the

116
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: twenty twenty sixth season.

117
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 3: Well, there's two major questions, even though there's a number

118
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 3: of questions. Number One, that's the quarterback. Is he the

119
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 3: franchise quarterback? And can he stay healthy? Those are two

120
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 3: separate question yep. And then the offensive line the ability

121
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 3: to build to keep them healthy. Is that affected the

122
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 3: quarterback and affected the offense in a negative way? So

123
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 3: those are things they're going to have to address. They're

124
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 3: probably going to address corner on which they have the

125
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 3: last couple of years. They're probably putting a high draft

126
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 3: pick into a corner. But that's what this is a

127
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 3: very good team, a lot of good veterans, but we

128
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 3: don't know who our quarterback is.

129
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and with JJ McCarthy Chris Rough go for him

130
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: as it was last season, does it almost feel like

131
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: one's faith in JJ McCarthy is kind of tied to

132
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 2: your level of faith in Kevin O'Connell to continue developing him.

133
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: Does that make sense?

134
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 3: No, it don't make sense for me, okay, because I've

135
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 3: seen Kevin O'Connell with every quarterback he's had success with,

136
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 3: So why would I tie JJ McCarthy's success to him

137
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 3: when I've already seen what he does work well. But no, No,

138
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 3: I wouldn't do that.

139
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: No, I get you.

140
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 2: I was just kind of thinking about in terms of

141
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 2: the limited opportunity that we got to see him, and

142
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: moving forward to answer those questions with JJ McCarthy in

143
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: terms of do they add a veteran free agent that

144
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 2: would be pegged to start. So then maybe if JJ

145
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: comes off the bench, that that pushes that timeline of

146
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: growth back a bit, or if Kevin O'Connell rolls into

147
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty six season saying, you know, what we

148
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 2: see is is something that we believe that we can

149
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 2: work and succeed with that. Your belief in Kevin O'Connell

150
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 2: handling QBS and having all that success would lend to

151
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: you having faith in JJ McCarthy in twenty twenty six.

152
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 3: What do you think should do at quarterback?

153
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 2: Well, for me, I just haven't I haven't seen enough

154
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: of them, I'm asking you, Yeah, Yeah, I haven't seen

155
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 2: enough of JJ McCarthy to say whether it's going to

156
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: work with this team or it's not. And I have

157
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: immense amount of faith in Kevin O'Connell's ability to raise quarterbacks.

158
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: So you need to raise the level of that room,

159
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 2: which probably means bringing in there's some Anthony richardson steam.

160
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 2: Now I'm not sure how to feel about that, but

161
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 2: the veteran options out there, somebody that can push JJ

162
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: raise that competition level and then in the end find

163
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 2: find more success in twenty twenty six. What do you

164
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 2: think about the QB spot in terms of how they

165
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 2: can handle it.

166
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 3: Well, the Vikings don't know who their quarterback is. JJ

167
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 3: McCarthy has proven nothing to anyone except guys close to them.

168
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 3: Is youth quarterback coach or whatever, because he hasn't done

169
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 3: anything in the NFL. To me, you have to bring

170
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 3: in a veteran because you have a veteran team that

171
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 3: is ready to potentially compete for a Super Bowl right now.

172
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 3: So that rookie contract is too. It's going to be

173
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 3: in year number three and to me, this is the

174
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 3: make or break year. But I would bring in a

175
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 3: veteran quarterback, someone that has starting the experience.

176
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: And I'm with you.

177
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: I like that idea, and I'm with you in Lockstep

178
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 2: on that, you know, looking at this league and justin Jefferson.

179
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: So you know, you do a lot of interviews.

180
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: I'm sure you get a lot of questions about wide

181
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 2: receivers in this league today. And we had a lot

182
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 2: of conversations here locally about you know, Sam Darnold, of

183
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 2: course he was here two years ago, just wins a

184
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 2: Super Bowl with the Seahawks. But just the way that

185
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 2: whether it's a Jackson Smith and j but coming onto

186
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 2: the scene and having great success or Puka Nakua in

187
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 2: LA just where you see. And that's, by the way,

188
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 2: we're talking about this on the heels of one of

189
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 2: the greats, Larry Fitzgerald just being inducted into the Hall

190
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 2: of Fame, the unbelievable career that he had. What are

191
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 2: things that at this stage, whether it's Smith and Jigbud's Pooka,

192
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 2: some of the greats in this league at that spot,

193
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: what are they showing that even as great as you were,

194
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: the career that you have that you're just like, wow,

195
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 2: that's what's working in this league right now at that spot.

196
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 3: Well, if you look at wide receivers over the last

197
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 3: three decades. It's really about getting open in short quarters,

198
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 3: it's about catching contested balls, and it's about making big

199
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 3: plays in big games. That hasn't changed. These guys don't

200
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 3: have any greater traits than the wide receivers that play

201
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 3: in the eighties and nineties or a two thousand, you know,

202
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 3: So for me, they're maximizing the games now. They have

203
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 3: a group of guys that are a little bit smaller.

204
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 3: They don't have a couple of big receivers that are

205
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 3: as dominant as they used to always have. So that's

206
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 3: really the only way the game is changed. There's more opportunities,

207
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 3: there's more three rides on the field, and there's less

208
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 3: bump and run, less contact in the truck zone. So

209
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 3: that's the way the games change. It's just like basketball.

210
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 3: You see kids that can dribble better, the kids that

211
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 3: can shoot the ball better. So still level in all sports, soccer, basketball,

212
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 3: baseball is always going to be higher because the technology.

213
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 3: But they're not better players, they're not more durable, they

214
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 3: don't have more information, they don't love the sport like

215
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 3: other generations have. So you know, there are some pluses,

216
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 3: but there's always some minuses as far as today's modern athletes,

217
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 3: just as far as their durability.

218
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 2: Absolutely last thing for you, Chris, and again can't thank

219
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 2: you enough for your time, specifically to Larry Fitzgerald Jr.

220
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 2: And his induction in the Hall of Fame all those

221
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 2: years with one team. Sadly he didn't find himself to

222
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 2: the top of the mountain. But you know, when I

223
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 2: think about your career growing up pure in Minnesota, man,

224
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 2: whether it was you and of course Randy in ninety eight,

225
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 2: I'm down to man Cato sticking my little arm through

226
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: the chain link fence trying to slap hands with you

227
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 2: guys after a training camp practice. Like we've been so

228
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 2: blessed with talent at that spot in this league. But

229
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 2: this local kid, Larry Fitzgerald and the tenure that he

230
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 2: had in the NFL.

231
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: How impressive is that, my man, Larry journey was.

232
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 3: It's amazing. But you know, he had an unbelievable situation

233
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 3: during the time he was fourteen to eighteen where you

234
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 3: have people like myself and Randy Mas very very close

235
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 3: in his life day to day contact. That experience is priceless.

236
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 3: And then you know, selecting going to the right school

237
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 3: where they would highlight him, and they did that at

238
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh's fortunate Denny Green was in Arizona. Bill get his

239
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 3: career on track, because I don't think it's the same

240
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 3: without Dennis Green being there. So remarkable seventeen year career,

241
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 3: first ballot Hall of Famer. You know, to me, I

242
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 3: don't know what else he would want from a career

243
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 3: than he accomplished.

244
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,920

00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 2: Do you fancy yourself an angler?

289
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 3: No?

290
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 5: Tell your story and that I've got one about Ballards

291
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 5: because I heard you talking about that. Go with yours

292
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 5: and I'll tell you my outdoor story up there and

293
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 5: at Ballard's resort.

294
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 2: Well, I got It's it's hard to explain this. So

295
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 2: I don't own a boat, but I have several buddies

296
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 2: who own boats, which is the way to do it.

297
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 2: I have several friends that own pontoons. I have several

298
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 2: friends that own cabins.

299
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: Lucky.

300
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 2: So well, it's trust me, it's it's it's not. This

301
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 2: is not a braggadocious related comment. My point is is, uh,

302
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 2: skip the cabins for a second. The I love checking

303
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: out boats, man, checking out pontoons, checking about new outdoor tech.

304
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: For those of you that hunt on a regular.

305
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 2: Basis, I do not hunt. I'd like to hunt. Maybe

306
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 2: I will in the future, never too old to start.

307
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 2: But I'm just fascinated by the outdoors industry and you

308
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 2: learn so much. So the Sports Show at the Convention

309
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 2: Center is sweet, and of course they're in a lenten season.

310
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: Friday night fish fries happen to be in vogue.

311
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 2: So picture yourself staring at that potential future new pontoon,

312
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 2: maybe maybe a little RV. Maybe that new bow that

313
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 2: you've been looking at bow hunting Burnsey you can snag.

314
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: You can snag that ten point buck at fifty yards

315
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 2: with that brand new what is it, a compact bow? Sure,

316
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 2: you can find all sorts of things. Maybe there's a

317
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 2: new lure, a new spoon, a new jig, all sorts

318
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 2: of things to be talked about and found. But picture

319
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 2: looking at all of that cool stuff with some fish

320
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 2: and chips as part of the fish fry. And that's

321
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 2: what I'm gonna do. I'm going to be there next Friday,

322
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 2: four to six pm. It's going to be awesome, and

323
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 2: I'd love for any and all of you to join me.

324
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 2: Come over and say hi, and we'll have fun at

325
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 2: at the sports show. So you went to Ballards, I

326
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 2: just went there. Were you summertime or ice time.

327
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: It was summertime.

328
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 5: It was on one of those wild road tours, and

329
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 5: Keith Ballard was actually up there, his brother in law.

330
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: And long story short.

331
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 5: So those road tours we used to go to different

332
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 5: parts of the state, and ours was the northern leg.

333
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 5: It was me, Tom Reid, a couple of front office lackeys,

334
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 5: and Jordan Schrader and Mikey Anderson that's not his name,

335
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 5: Mikey got the former Gopher.

336
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter who it was.

337
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 5: But regardless, we're out there, Mike Riley, Mikey Riley, that's

338
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 5: what it was. They take us out on Link of

339
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 5: the Woodey names very good. Why I couldn't come up

340
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 5: with a super cool kid whatever. So we're up there

341
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 5: link of the Woods, Ballard's resort. They say, all right,

342
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 5: we're gonna take you out on the boat and we're

343
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 5: gonna go fishing.

344
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: Sounds great. I'm not baiting my hook. I'm not that guy.

345
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: But regardless, they said they'd take care of us, that

346
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: they were gonna treat it like it was a regular tour.

347
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: So we all jump on this boat. We go out there.

348
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 5: It's about I don't know, seven o'clock in the morning,

349
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 5: and it was like being on the Pacific during the

350
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 5: waves were just up and down. I got as sea

351
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 5: sick as I've ever been. And I don't think I'll

352
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 5: ever go on a boat again, not in in waters.

353
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 5: I'll go on a lake, Lake, Harriet, I'm not going

354
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 5: on Lake of the Woods ever again.

355
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: It was it was tormenting.

356
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 5: I was green. I literally I was green. I was

357
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 5: sick to my stomach. I'm a whos well.

358
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 2: Anyway, is this where I bring up the spring Ballard's trip. No,

359
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 2: come on, man, I'm saying it was awesome. Ballards is fantastic.

360
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 5: I'm just saying for me, I'm not going out on

361
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 5: a boat ever again in open waters like that.

362
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: It was catastrophic for me. I was green to the gills.

363
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 2: So like me at a ski resort where I'm going

364
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 2: to spend the whole day in the chalet after two runs, yep,

365
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 2: at Ballards, you'd be the person that that ponies up

366
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 2: and chills in there on the.

367
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: Beach or sits by the fire or watching TV at

368
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: the bar while you guys go out there and fish.

369
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 1: So you go get them.

370
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 2: So what I learned while I was up there again,

371
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 2: this is novice related. This is regurgitation of information. Is

372
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 2: the one thing that is interesting about Lake of the Woods,

373
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 2: that particular lake that opens up is you have the confluence,

374
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 2: you got the rainy you got the rainy river, you

375
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 2: got all kinds of things going on. Is the waves

376
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 2: can get really weird where they can get kind of tall.

377
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: But the bigger problem is.

378
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 2: That you don't get you don't get enough time in

379
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 2: between waves to level out, so you can when it's

380
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 2: super windy and it's coming from a certain area, you

381
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 2: can just get battered at times.

382
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 5: I didn't know if they were screwing with me or

383
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 5: whatever once they saw that it was starting to affect me.

384
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 5: But I mean my head was between my knees for

385
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 5: and we were out there for like three hours.

386
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: I mean, we're in the middle of nowhere and we

387
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 1: have nowhere to go.

388
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 5: They're just fishing, and for three hours, my head is

389
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 5: stuck between my knees and I'm all but vomiting. It

390
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 5: was just I felt like Philip gustuson last night between

391
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 5: the plapes.

392
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:50,199
Speaker 1: It was just disgusting. Ballardsresort dot Com.

393
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 5: That's the worst part about it. I had Keith Ballor there,

394
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 5: his brother in law were there. They looked like twins.

395
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 5: They were great guides, but it just wasn't my jam.

396
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, I'm not going to be Uh, I can't

397
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 5: do that ever again. Well, you'll love the ice fishing.

398
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 5: I'm sure there's no wake, there's no waves.

399
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 2: It's three and a half feet eyes, plenty of access

400
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 2: to the cooler, well heated house. They take you out

401
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 2: in a bomber deer on tracks with Oh it's it's

402
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 2: an unbelievable freaking experience that I had. Now I'm you

403
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 2: know again, I'm I'm savvy enough. I will bait my

404
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 2: own hook. I'm not doing that. It's just it's it's yucky.

405
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 5: It's a point of pride thing I don't I've got

406
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 5: plenty of pride in other things. I don't need to

407
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 5: stick a worm on a hook. I can't do it.

408
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: Okay, Well I'm not going to cut a deer, use minnows.

409
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: You can use leeches and other things.

410
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I touch a leech either. Okay, I just

411
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 5: stick it in their mouth and as it doesn't feel. No,

412
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 5: that's not for me. But but it was a tremendous experience.

413
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 5: I'm sorry that, you know, I'm exposing myself as the

414
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 5: city boy that I am. But it sounds traumatic now

415
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 5: speaking of green speak, whether it's you on a boat

416
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 5: or it's Guss and net.

417
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: That was so bad. How awful was that last night?

418
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 1: Oh man? I felt for him badly.

419
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 5: I felt for myself too, because I do get queasy

420
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 5: and that that was when there they had the shovel

421
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 5: and they're throwing it to the back of the net.

422
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 1: I don't blame yes for Valston for not making that

423
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: final save.

424
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 5: I'm not going down in that blue paint considering what

425
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 5: was there about thirty seconds prior. That was gross. You

426
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 5: feel so bad for him, and the guy had a

427
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 5: wonderful game. I don't think it was the Olympics that

428
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 5: he envisioned for himself there and Team Sweden getting yanked

429
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 5: and you know, being a basically a spectator for the

430
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 5: final couple of games there of that tournament. But what

431
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 5: he did last night did reaffirm my faith in Philip

432
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 5: Gustlson as the number one guy for this team. Forty

433
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 5: some saves against the Colorado Avalanche, they come away with

434
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 5: a five to two victory. He didn't make it to

435
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 5: the end of the contest, but still forty some saves.

436
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 5: On forty five shots. It was fantastic.

437
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 2: Oh he was, and then didn't volstat roll in and

438
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 2: gave I think he gave up a goal.

439
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, because he didn't want to.

440
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 5: Go into that blue paint because he knows what was

441
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 5: there thirty seconds prior Gustlson's dinner.

442
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't think.

443
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 2: I don't think think I've ever seen that. I have

444
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 2: never seen that. There's classic like Donovan McNabb. You know,

445
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 2: he threw up in the huddle back in the day,

446
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 2: and I just never Tom tells stories about an old

447
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 2: time goaltender.

448
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was.

449
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 5: I don't think it was a gump That doesn't strike

450
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 5: me as him, but would would puke before every game,

451
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 5: you know, because his nerves were so bad. I don't

452
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 5: think it was gump woarsly, but not on the ice,

453
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 5: not in the crease at the end of a hockey

454
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 5: game where you just made forty four saves and then

455
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 5: he gets pulled, He pulls.

456
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:29,719
Speaker 1: Himself, and God bless him.

457
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 5: The fact that he was able to literally gut it

458
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 5: out in that third period is a pretty fantastic.

459
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 2: Well now that we've got through that got through several

460
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 2: levels of let us start to this conversation queasiness. The

461
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 2: key is though, with Gus before he left in a

462
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 2: very unceremonious fashion, forty four saves and the Minnesota Wild

463
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 2: returned to play last night.

464
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: Now, I know, you know, what was it.

465
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 2: About half the league on Wednesday the other half last night?

466
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 2: Whatever you were thinking about? Okay, you know, Cats had

467
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 2: been on the chill for nearly a month, and you

468
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 2: know Gus. I think mark Strom played the final two

469
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 2: for Sweden, so really Gus had kind of been chilled

470
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 2: for a week or so.

471
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: The ability of.

472
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 2: Them to jump back in and really dominate the way

473
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 2: they had was very impressive last night.

474
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 5: For them to get back out they hadn't played since

475
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 5: February third, except for the guys that were at the Olympics,

476
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 5: and of course they're coming in with a whole different

477
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 5: set of battle scars from the Olympics, to travel, going

478
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 5: to the White House, all the other good stuff that

479
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 5: went with it. Just a fun range of emotions for

480
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 5: those three guys in particular. But then to jump back

481
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 5: out there on the ice against the number one team

482
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 5: in hockey who had played the night before. You know,

483
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 5: you wonder how it was going to affect the Wild

484
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 5: having not played since February third, But for the Avalanche,

485
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 5: what would their weary legs be like? Was it a

486
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 5: benefit to them to have a game under their belt?

487
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 5: But overall, they came out they played a pretty darn

488
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 5: decent brand of hockey. I thought in the first period

489
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 5: they got a little outskated, but they got through that

490
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 5: first period whether the storm and I think kind of

491
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 5: took things over, so it felt good. They have to

492
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 5: be real happy with the way they return to action.

493
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 5: And now they get a chance to prove that it

494
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 5: wasn't a fluke because they go up against another pretty

495
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 5: good team tonight.

496
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 2: Are you still feeling a little patriotic this week?

497
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 5: You're never gonna move on. Forget listening to Bill Garran

498
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 5: the last couple of days. I know, he was on

499
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 5: with Billy yesterday, Yeah, and he was with Tom Reid

500
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 5: and the intermission last night. And then to look at

501
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 5: these guys and the way they celebrated, whether it's in

502
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 5: the locker room, on the ice post game, I mean,

503
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 5: and then to be able to live it again through

504
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 5: Hugh's favor and Boldie in the pregame last night talking

505
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 5: about everything that they just went through. Joe had a

506
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 5: wonderful conversation with that Boldie in the post game last night,

507
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 5: following the victory, coming off another four point outing, you know,

508
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 5: how can you not feel patriotic and enjoy this?

509
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: I'm not ready for it to be over yet. No,

510
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: I am not either to that end.

511
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 2: I was kind of talking with Greenway just the way

512
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 2: we move on so quickly from things like I love

513
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 2: hearing I think Brett, do you have that in terms

514
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 2: of because I think Quinn Hughes is doing something like

515
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 2: I think he's going to be on SNL and faling

516
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 2: and so it's SNL and fallin and so there's probably

517
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 2: I mean, logistically that sounds like a freaking nightmare, right

518
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 2: because he's.

519
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 1: Got to fly.

520
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 2: We play Utah tonight yep, and then it's a Sunday

521
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 2: matinee and then they play maybe Tuesday.

522
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: I think that's the light day game.

523
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 4: Yes, So here's his itinerary, all right, So uh, he

524
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 4: will fly to Salt Lake City, So he's there now.

525
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 4: After that game, we'll turn in Minnesota Land Saturday morning. Saturday,

526
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 4: will fly to New York for SNL On Sunday, he'll

527
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 4: return to Minnesota to play the Blues on Monday, He'll

528
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 4: fly back to New York to do fallon on Tuesday,

529
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 4: I'll fly back to Minnesota to play the Lightning.

530
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and then rewind going, keep it going,

531
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: rewind a little bit prior to that.

532
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 5: Then he goes from So he goes from Milan to

533
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 5: Miami to Washington, DC, partying like rock stars over the

534
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 5: course of those however many days. Then he flies back

535
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 5: to I assume that they flew him in to Denver,

536
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 5: but now pick up the rest of that itinerary.

537
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 1: I just can't imagine.

538
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 5: I mean, he said that last night, and Quinn Hughes

539
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 5: in particular said that his legs caught up to him

540
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 5: as that game went on. But I mean, he's just

541
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 5: a beast, man, I know, and that's what I said too,

542
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 5: But that's what he said in the postgame. The way

543
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 5: he's performed since landing in Minnesota and then when he

544
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 5: did at the Olympics, Man, we should feel real blessed

545
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 5: because we have three legitimate superstars on this roster. And

546
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 5: that's not blowing it out of proportion. Three legit superstars

547
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 5: right now on this team. Oh to be young again, mister.

548
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 2: Faultness as what is he twenty six, twenty seven maybe

549
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 2: sounds right something in that area, so he wins the

550
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 2: gold medal. There were probably, well, not probably, this has

551
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 2: been well documented. Onsocial There were a few beverages involved.

552
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 2: Oh my god, there was a like you like you said,

553
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 2: leaving Milan finding their way to Miami. They may have

554
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,959
Speaker 2: had one or two beverages there again, and then they

555
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 2: get the opportunity to have that experience in DC both.

556
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 2: I believe they visited the White House and then they

557
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 2: were there at the Capitol for the State of the Union.

558
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: It's only twenty six and he rolls back, Oh to

559
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: be young again?

560
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 2: To sweat that off, and then about thirty six hours later,

561
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 2: he's playing twenty six minutes in an NHL game, looking

562
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 2: as fantastic as ever. Why not find an assist in

563
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 2: the mix as part of the blowout win, Oh to

564
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 2: be young again?

565
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: Think about it.

566
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 5: I have a couple of beers that night, and if

567
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 5: I don't sleep till noon, I'm feeling it the entire

568
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 5: next day. This guy's going out there and playing an

569
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 5: NHL hockey game.

570
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: Let me just check what his numbers were last night.

571
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 1: You talked about the assist.

572
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 5: I didn't ever look to see how many minutes he played,

573
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 5: and at twenty six minutes and twelve seconds, so a

574
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 5: little lighter than we're used to seeing. With Quinn he was,

575
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 5: but not by much. So he's just he's a factor.

576
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 5: He's a beast. He was, I mean, and all three

577
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 5: of those guys were really important to Temosa bringing home

578
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 5: the gold, whether it's bulldies and his big goals. The

579
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 5: one that he got in the gold medal game was

580
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 5: as big as any of them. Brock Favor a part

581
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 5: of that penalty kill where they went up eighteen of eighteen,

582
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 5: and of course Quinn Hugh was just you know, doing

583
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 5: Quinn Hughes things.

584
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: You know, is an all star amongst all stars.

585
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 2: Amongst Yeah, Quinn Hughes with the game winner I think

586
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 2: that was in the Sweden finals.

587
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, what a goal that was too. I mean, you know,

588
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:15,239
Speaker 1: I can just go on and on.

589
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 5: That tournament was so much fun, and again the four

590
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 5: Nations was neat, It was cool and all that the

591
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 5: Americans came up short, but that brought the intensity that

592
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 5: brought that best on best tournament feel back to our

593
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 5: front of mind, and it was it was a great tournament.

594
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 5: Americans came up short, but it proves again that there's

595
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 5: nothing better than Olympic hockey. The international stage is on

596
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 5: a level all of its own. And I love the

597
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 5: Stanley Cup.

598
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: I love playoff hockey and what the National Hockey League

599
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: does come spring, but what they do on the international

600
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 1: stage and how much this means to all these guys. Man,

601
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: that was just fantastic And to get it back here

602
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: for the first time in forty six years was long

603
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: time coming.

604
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 2: No, and that's why it can't end. So do SNL

605
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 2: do fallin? Don't don't just move to the next thing. Yeah,

606
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,719
Speaker 2: I was joking earlier. It's like I get back from

607
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 2: from Ballards and uh and we're instantly onto the combine

608
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,360
Speaker 2: and I'm just thinking to myself Tuesday and Pa and Pete,

609
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 2: they did two great shows in Indie, and that's the

610
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 2: a topic while they're there. Certainly, it's like I kind

611
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 2: of like, I just kind of want to think about

612
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 2: Team USA again for a little bit. I just I

613
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 2: kind of want to soak that back in, uh for

614
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 2: for a moment before again as these fleeting moments. I mean,

615
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 2: by the end of the weekend and in the next

616
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 2: week it's going to be.

617
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 3: Wild.

618
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: They're just five points away from the Avs. Yeah, and

619
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: now there's only twenty three games left. It's crazy.

620
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 2: Used to be foregone conclusion that the Avs were just

621
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 2: going to house the Central. Oh wait, they've kind of

622
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 2: had some struggles. They're seven eight and two in their

623
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 2: last seventeen and the wild they're looking hot. No, Boldie

624
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 2: might be the hottest player on the freaking planet right now.

625
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: Second in the NHL and goals. I don't want to

626
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: lose the Red, white and Blue.

627
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 2: Vibe and appreciate and stop appreciating that at least anytime soon.

628
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: I should say I got news for you the past

629
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: two fridays and Breck can vouch for this. All we

630
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: did was hockey.

631
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, so we were getting ready for the Olympics,

632
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 5: and you know it was it was a lot of

633
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 5: hockey event into it.

634
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: That's good.

635
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 5: And especially with last week, no bey on the pond

636
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 5: because I go for basketball. So we unloaded both chambers

637
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 5: on that Friday and we were ready for it. But man,

638
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 5: it was such an amazing fun tournament. It's it is.

639
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 5: It's sad that it's over, but there is no time

640
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 5: to think about it because you get thrown right back

641
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 5: into the fire. You're in Colorado last night, You're back

642
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 5: out of the end tonight, and it's just gonna be

643
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 5: every other night from this point forward. I think it

644
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 5: was twenty four games in like fifty some days. They're

645
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 5: cramming them in there. The playoffs will be here before

646
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 5: you know it. Let's go, We're ready for it now.

647
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 5: Was capriz off? Did he look like he was ready

648
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 5: to resume play last night?

649
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 3: Yeah?

650
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 5: I didn't see anything wrong with I didn't even notice

651
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 5: the tan. I'm sure there was there. It sounded like

652
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 5: he did go back to Rush and get a chance

653
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 5: to spend some time with family. What a nice bonus

654
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 5: for him, you know, in the middle of that three

655
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 5: and a half week pause. But I thought everybody looked great.

656
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 5: You know, the only guy missing right now is Jonas Brodein,

657
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 5: and he's a bit factor. They're on that blue line

658
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 5: and get him back up there with with Jared Spurge

659
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 5: and keep Favor and Hughes together and then figure out

660
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 5: your third pair from their most likely Bogosian and Middleton.

661
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 5: But other than that, everyone was healthy. They're doing their thing,

662
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 5: and Boldie's just again. I can't stress enough how much

663
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 5: fun it is to watch him and know that it's

664
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 5: not just capries off anymore.

665
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: You got Boldie, you got Hughes.

666
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then everyone else is kind of pitching in

667
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 5: as they come tomorrow.

668
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: You do have a fan, you have excuse me.

669
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 2: Beyond the Pond, the Pond, and then Mikletty's going to

670
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 2: be in the mix.

671
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 3: He is.

672
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 5: They Gophers played last night. They stunned Michigan four too. Yeah,

673
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 5: I had ann Arbor and they're back at it tonight.

674
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 5: I at least five o'clock Twin Cities News TCKE AM

675
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 5: eleven thirty. He'll appreciate me mentioning that. I assume that

676
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 5: means the pregame with Wally starts at four to thirty.

677
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 5: But then he'll be back in the State of Hockey

678
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 5: tomorrow for ten to noon. For Beyond the Pond, we're

679
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 5: doing a lot of wild Olympics Gophers in the first hour,

680
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 5: then the second hour bringing in Tony Scott, and we're

681
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 5: doing all high school nine section finals. Last night, I

682
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 5: was keeping more a track of that than I was

683
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 5: the NHL out of town scoreboard during the broadcast, so

684
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 5: I stupidly I was following that, And how about that?

685
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: I mean you, that's hockey.

686
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 2: How about that goal by the DNA kid the other

687
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 2: day the bounces, of course it goes in favor of

688
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 2: the hornets.

689
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: But in fairness, what did you do? He followed it

690
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: to the net?

691
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I'm pretty confident the person who pushed that

692
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 2: forward was indeed the one who finished it.

693
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: Is that accurate? I have no idea. I still can't.

694
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,239
Speaker 5: Believe how that went in, rolled down the rail, and

695
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 5: the goaltender has no idea where it is, so he

696
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 5: just goes on the back door and there you go.

697
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 2: He followed it dinah fashion typical. Okay, I get it,

698
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 2: I get it. But how much of the trade deadline

699
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 2: are you going to be talking about as.

700
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 3: That I did.

701
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 5: That's a week from today, mate, Yeah, and I'm telling

702
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 5: you it's not the sexiest of moves. I'd be shocked

703
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 5: if Vinnie Trochick doesn't end up on this wild roster.

704
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 5: I'm not going by any inside information. That just is

705
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 5: my spidey sense. So listening to Russo watching you know,

706
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 5: the interaction out there in Milan, Bill Garon put Trocheck

707
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 5: on the roster. He was a huge part of that

708
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 5: gold medal, especially in helping that penalty kill work. He

709
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 5: can provide center ice step, he can play both ends

710
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 5: of the ice. So that's a typical Bill Gearon type

711
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 5: of a player. And if they can get the deal

712
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 5: worked out, which I can't believe it hasn't been worked

713
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 5: out already since him and Chris Drury were spending so

714
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 5: much time together there in Italy. That's the guy that

715
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 5: I think they have circled to join the Wild before

716
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 5: the end of the season.

717
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 2: But I do expect something between now in March six

718
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 2: real quick, and then I do want to get back

719
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 2: to that. Back to high school for a moment. When

720
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 2: are the brackets set? Saturday, we'll have that on the air.

721
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 5: I'll have with myself, Tony Scott, Pat mcletty at eleven o'clock.

722
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a bunch of coaches.

723
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 5: Of course, we're having the Hibbing head coach on right

724
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 5: around eleven thirty five, I think talk.

725
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: I know that second hour is going to be all

726
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: high school hockey.

727
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 5: We'll have the scenes right there for you and we'll

728
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 5: talk to a bunch of coaches from across the street,

729
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 5: across the state in both double A and single A.

730
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: Like we said, it just doesn't stop.

731
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 5: No, it doesn't. I mean the girls just finished up.

732
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:05,479
Speaker 5: Now you got the boys coming. Like I said, there

733
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 5: were nine section finals last night and all across the statement,

734
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 5: whether it's am soil. It was more fun to keep

735
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 5: track of that than the NHL out of town scoreboard.

736
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 5: It was there was a game that went to triple

737
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 5: overtime last night.

738
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 4: And one thing to keep in mindfulness White bear Lake

739
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 4: and Gentry on.

740
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: Tonight's tonight on the call.

741
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 5: I mean, I have nothing against White bear Lake, but

742
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 5: anytime they lose and Halvey's on the call.

743
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: It's an instant classic. It's my passwords.

744
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 5: I will give you the full passwords, but it's all

745
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 5: HDM twenty twenty three.

746
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: Anytime you let's get into my computer. He's got to

747
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: type that in.

748
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 2: Well, okay, so my question to that and then I

749
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 2: will get back because I had another free agent bit

750
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 2: because I'm just fascinated with with some choices that Billy

751
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 2: g has. Is there, So Gentry is kind of a

752
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 2: hockey factory, right like that would be of the of

753
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 2: the charter the program variety, so so academics could be

754
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 2: maybe homeschooling or what that is but certainly hockey would

755
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 2: be the reason that that children attend that school. Is

756
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 2: there is there the vitriol around Oh, it's just they

757
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 2: paid their way to the top versus you know, I

758
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,720
Speaker 2: mean the Hill Murray's of the world, the private school

759
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 2: phenomenon that existed, Dinah, you were giving them crap a

760
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 2: couple of minutes ago.

761
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: Is Gentry in that category? So we're all in the

762
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: Bears tonight.

763
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 5: The hard part would be of Jeff where to advance

764
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 5: and face off against the dining in the state tournament.

765
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 5: Which team do you boo? Would be the question? And

766
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 5: again I got nothing against Gentry. I really don't have

767
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 5: much against the Dinah though that I grew up in

768
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 5: Saint Louis Park and that was the hated rival that

769
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 5: basically beat us up on an every night basis in

770
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 5: every sport.

771
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 2: And you've shared a lot of trota this morning boats

772
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 2: to youth sports. That's right, Well, that's what it is

773
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 2: for absolutely, So it's hard to know who to root

774
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 2: for tonight.

775
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 5: I almost want White Bear Lake to get there and

776
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 5: then listen to how they call it as they stubbed

777
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 5: their toe in the in the quarterfinals.

778
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: Again, but again there's nothing that I have nothing against.

779
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 5: It's it's more fun to listen to what we make

780
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 5: fun of a healthy crying on the air all the time,

781
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 5: and it's just it's a good time.

782
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 3: Head by all.

783
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 1: No, I totally Getlberts Go Bears.

784
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 3: Now.

785
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 2: Now back to free agents, so you know, whether it's

786
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 2: it's Trocheck, it's.

787
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: O'Reilly, Like, I got a buddy we had russo on yesterday.

788
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 2: I got a buddy who's got every game worn Nazum

789
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 2: cadre sweater. Going back to wherever he originated from, I

790
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,760
Speaker 2: think he's Colorado. Oh I see, yeah, yeah, he started

791
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 2: his joy in Colorado. Wasn't it Colorado? I think Toronto

792
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 2: was in the mix.

793
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,879
Speaker 1: Maybe Toronto was first then Colorado and Calgary. Yeah, yeah,

794
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: absolutely so.

795
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 2: But but in terms of in terms of what we

796
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 2: have to give, I think I think Billy G' is

797
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 2: really treading a fine line here in terms of the

798
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 2: getting could be really good right now, but let's what

799
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 2: does five years look like? Kind of the same way

800
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 2: we talk about the Vikings in terms of is it

801
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 2: a veteran QB or are you gonna go big game

802
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 2: hunting to leverage half a decade into the future of picks. Yeah,

803
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 2: you know, it's it's just a really interesting spot for Billy.

804
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 2: And it seems like, as you mentioned Trocheck, like that's

805
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,919
Speaker 2: a very popular landing spot among those that know the game.

806
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 2: Russo is kind of echoing what you were just saying.

807
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 2: Now he was speaking about that yesterday, like that kind

808
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 2: of guy a tro Check. Maybe it's it's Ryan O'Reilly

809
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 2: I believe, and names like fantastic, yeah, and what that

810
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 2: can do to change it. Just that's where that's where

811
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 2: we're looking at over the next handful of days, aren't we.

812
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:23,879
Speaker 1: Yeah.

813
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 5: I mean it depends because the way the NHL does

814
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 5: the standings, it feels like everyone's still alive. I mean

815
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 5: Nashville right now, as I look at the standings, they're

816
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 5: two points out of a playoff spot.

817
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: And that's where Ryan O'Reilly to me, i'd love to

818
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: have Ryan O'Reilly.

819
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 5: I mean, that's to me, almost the pinnacle of what

820
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 5: you could go out and grab at the trade deadline.

821
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 5: He would be fantastic. I don't think he's available, and

822
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 5: we've been saying that for a few weeks now. On

823
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 5: Beyon the Pond, as great as he'd look in a

824
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 5: wild uniform, it's not realistic to think that they're just

825
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 5: going to give up their playoff hopes and give away

826
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 5: their best center. So that's probably not probable. But I

827
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 5: will say this, the question is going to be, what

828
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 5: is Bill Garin willing to give up? If it's a

829
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 5: big fish, like a Queenn Houston type of thing, which

830
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 5: I still can't believe that he can go out and

831
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 5: make another one of these big moves happen. But yeah,

832
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 5: you could, you could swing a yesper Valsta out there.

833
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 5: You realize now you got this Sam Jlava down in

834
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 5: Iowa that apparently can play some some big time minutes

835
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 5: and maybe is dying to and get out of the

836
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 5: unfortunate situation there in Iowa right now. If or you

837
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 5: got Marc andre Fleury hanging around in the rafters as well,

838
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 5: maybe you can pull him out of retirement.

839
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 2: There are some options out there. But well that be

840
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 2: that sounds ridiculous, right, It.

841
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 5: Sounds ridiculous, But he's been he's the guy there. Yeah,

842
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 5: when Gustafson and Valstad were overseas for the Olympics, uh,

843
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 5: Mark andre Fleury had the gear on he was taking.

844
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 5: I don't know what color they were. I didn't go

845
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 5: down there always a big smile, smile. So my point is, so,

846
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 5: let's say you deal a Valstead, you deal a year

847
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 5: of or you deal a the kid out of Michigan State,

848
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 5: and you know, empty the coverage for this run right

849
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 5: here and right now.

850
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: I hope not.

851
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 5: But if there's your offense potential man val said has potential.

852
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 5: They all have potential. But if you're swinging for the fences,

853
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 5: I just like saying that.

854
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 2: It's not like I have an elite that's pretty good,

855
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:18,839
Speaker 2: but I think it's I think it could be pretty good.

856
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 2: He's got good chemistry on the on the krem line.

857
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: Yep.

858
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 5: The problem here is that whatever is available now, is

859
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 5: it comparable to what's going to be available on July first?

860
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,959
Speaker 5: And if you empty everything out, your cover's out now

861
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,760
Speaker 5: and there's a big fish out there at free agency,

862
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 5: you're leaving yourself shorthanded to make another big move this

863
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 5: summer when there might be some bigger names available. But

864
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 5: on the other side of that argument, you've got a

865
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 5: team right now that's number two in the Western Conference,

866
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 5: within spitting distance of the first place Colorado Avalanche, and

867
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 5: you just beat them five too in their building last night.

868
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 5: Is the time now to you know, empty everything out

869
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 5: and go get them and load up. I don't know,

870
00:38:58,080 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 5: that's the question that Bill Garan.

871
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: Has to answer. Well, thankfully, Billy g has to answer

872
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 1: that question correct now. He did put a little nice, nice,

873
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,399
Speaker 1: nice team, nice cute little team together in Milan, Man.

874
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 3: He put up.

875
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 1: He did an unbelievable job, so much fun.

876
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 2: And hopefully he can he can put the finishing touches

877
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 2: on this year's incarnation of the one.

878
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 5: Imagine that double parlay going to the Olympics, bringing the

879
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 5: first gold medal in forty six years, and then follow

880
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 5: that up with the first Stanley Cup champion in the

881
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 5: history of the state of hockey, going back to the

882
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 5: North Stars, going back to the Fighting Saints, going back

883
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 5: to Fred Flintstone.

884
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:35,240
Speaker 1: Will we allow ourselves to believe?

885
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 5: Kevin, I've been thinking about it, and that's the first

886
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:39,760
Speaker 5: time I've said it out loud.

887
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: On the radio. But what a one to two punch

888
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,399
Speaker 1: that would be for Bill Gerin. It sounded differently as

889
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: I would say that. I started to immediately retract it.

890
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: That is, but that's not impossible. No, it isn't the

891
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: third best team. But that's the problem. I mean, no

892
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: matter what he.

893
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 5: Does, you still got to deal with the Avalanche and

894
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 5: the Stars problem in the first two rounds of the

895
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 5: playoffs because of this goofy NHL Playoffs setup.

896
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,479
Speaker 1: So whatever you do first year in teams, nothing, last

897
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: two rounds downhill.

898
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I mean, and then you got to deal

899
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 5: with whoever's that they're in the Eastern cover.

900
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: There's no easy path.

901
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 5: The best thing the Wild could do is figure out

902
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 5: a way to get over the Avalanche, get through, get

903
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 5: through them, avoid them in the first round, and then

904
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 5: deal with whoever's standing between the Avalanche and Dallas in

905
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:19,959
Speaker 5: the second round.

906
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 1: But I mean, there's a lot that has to happen.

907
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 5: Getween now in the twenty third, get the twenty three games,

908
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 5: get the one spot.

909
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,720
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Kevin Faullness, The pleasure was mine.

00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 4: He has not, well, I thought, you know, since we're

937
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 4: gonna talk about the wild and the big win coming

938
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 4: off the Olympic break to beat the best in the NHL.

939
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:05,280
Speaker 4: Instead of hearing Joe who we love, let's hear how

940
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 4: sour grapes V two sounded, and it sounded like this.

941
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 6: Boldie right down Broadway, save maid and it's put him

942
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 6: by rol Eric C.

943
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:20,240
Speaker 1: Hold on, stop it so ridiculous to the stop.

944
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 2: It, please all right restarted because it sounds like a

945
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 2: writing utensil is slammed against the desk during the call

946
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 2: play it again, Please.

947
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:31,399
Speaker 6: Find real We bet Boldie right down Broadway, save maid

948
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 6: and it's put him by Joel Ericson.

949
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 1: Right there, right there. That is assault so ridiculous on

950
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: a V bench.

951
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,959
Speaker 6: Had to even be shorthanded in that situation, I've never

952
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 6: seen a more undeserved goal in my entire life. With

953
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 6: an absolute shame, Boldie let it go and Joel ericsonek.

954
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: Who, by the way, you gotta throw this has not.

955
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 6: Had any points of any time versus the avalanche of

956
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 6: the last six is able to get the power play goal.

957
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 4: I mean I have the time stamps for all of

958
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 4: the goals. They just get better. I mean, maybe well

959
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 4: we can do this later they get better each and

960
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 4: every one he gets more and more upset. It truly

961
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 4: is just such a I mean, I get to get upset.

962
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: But throwing your pencil like that, so you have you

963
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 1: have the time stamps on some of those other ones.

964
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, maybe let's let's revisit that maybe during

965
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:33,760
Speaker 2: the final segment. Now I will say this, I'm laughing

966
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 2: because it's awesome. But Connor mcgahey, I love his voice

967
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 2: and he does unbelievable work. Now I need to dig

968
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 2: into I mean, is this just is this rivalry frustration

969
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 2: and or would he handle this the same way on

970
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 2: a sleepy Tuesday against the Red Wings.

971
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: I just don't know that.

972
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I've I've worked hand in hand

973
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 2: with a guy for for twelve years in change.

974
00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:58,800
Speaker 1: Now who.

975
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 2: Dall's adversity on the radio when it comes to the

976
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 2: opposing team scoring, He's handled it.

977
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: You know this is ridiculous.

978
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,360
Speaker 2: I mean, the sound bites are in the system and

979
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 2: all of you have listened to nine and Noon or

980
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,720
Speaker 2: love the Vikings. You've heard them yourself from the longtime

981
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 2: emotional box, which is one of the reasons we love them.

982
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 3: So I.

983
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 2: Can't necessarily. I mean, this team, whether you played, you know,

984
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 2: the the arrogance or whatever, however you want to look

985
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 2: at I don't really look at it as that. It's

986
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 2: just the when when we caught the Abs in that

987
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 2: game on Black Friday. I was at the game that

988
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 2: they were coming off of I think ten consecutive victories,

989
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 2: and this team feels like a freight train. Now it

990
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 2: hasn't been that I mentioned it with fallness. They're like

991
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 2: seven eight and two over their last seventeen, so there's

992
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,800
Speaker 2: been a lot of midd lane and some struggling both

993
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,320
Speaker 2: on both ends of the All Star break.

994
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: I forget.

995
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 2: I think it was Utah they handled them without McKinnon

996
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 2: immediately out of the Olympic pause. It was four to

997
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 2: two with no no, with no McKinnon. But this is

998
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 2: I mean, would we consider them to be a tense rival?

999
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 1: I think so I would. Yeah, so the Jets, the Stars,

1000
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 1: the Blues.

1001
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1002
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: So Connor mcgahey getting loud.

1003
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 2: Because Valstet's pumping his fist like he just won the

1004
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 2: Stanley Cup.

1005
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: Which he hasn't. That's all good. I like that.

1006
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,840
Speaker 2: I don't know, I just I like mcgahe. He's just

1007
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,879
Speaker 2: the he should be frustrated. I want to I'm frustrated

1008
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 2: when my favorite team's on the wrong side of it.

1009
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:31,919
Speaker 3: Uh.

1010
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 2: The the Avalanche, by the way, after that that Valstet

1011
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 2: shootout win. Uh, they did, I believe, come back to

1012
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 2: Grand Casino and smoke us five to one.

1013
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: A week and a half later. It did happen. So

1014
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of the fun part of Connor MCGA.

1015
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 2: But but that doesn't mean we're not going to play

1016
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 2: more of that audio during the final segment.

1017
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,359
Speaker 1: Well, I'm all I'm saying, is I do.

1018
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 4: It does make me angry, but it also makes me

1019
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 4: very happy to hear him just launch a peny.

1020
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 1: I didn't even notice that, and you you picked that up.

1021
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,839
Speaker 1: I have to be boldie right down Broadway. Saved made

1022
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 1: and a quit him by killer Incomes. That's so good.

1023
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 1: That's so good. Anyways.

1024
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:16,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, so no, But but Connor's good at what he does.

1025
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 2: The Abs are good at what they do. And for

1026
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 2: us to get over the hump here, whatever we whatever,

1027
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 2: whatever comes of the trade deadline, et cetera, it all

1028
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 2: points to us potentially to have great success in the playoffs.

1029
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:30,839
Speaker 1: We're gonna have I.

1030
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,240
Speaker 2: Just got a text Connor McGahee is the NHL version

1031
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 2: of PA see there you go live and die with

1032
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 2: your club.

1033
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 1: Be a rube, I dig it.

1034
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 2: But we are going to appreciate some of that audio

1035
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 2: later in the show from Connor.

1036
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:45,399
Speaker 1: That's awesome too. Well, how maybe before we pause, that's

1037
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking.

1038
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 4: Low scoring affair in the new Into It Dome, I

1039
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 4: think is what they call it out in LA against

1040
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 4: the Clippers ninety four eighty eight. It's not often. I

1041
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 4: feel like you see that as a final score. Ant

1042
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,760
Speaker 4: was fired up towards the end. He was like yelling

1043
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 4: it Ris Finch that that's what I do. And it

1044
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,919
Speaker 4: got very tense for I thought no reason, just from

1045
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:09,760
Speaker 4: watching it. But yes the Wolves big winners, uh thirty

1046
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 4: one points. Aunt ends up in thirty six minutes. Some

1047
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 4: contributes from Ayu from naz Red.

1048
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 1: So you say do sumu io desumo? There we go. Yeah,

1049
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 1: well that's that just Iu. Wh would I say that wrong? No,

1050
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 1: you didn't say wrong.

1051
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 2: I'm just not sure if we're on a first name

1052
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:28,720
Speaker 2: basis with mister Domo.

1053
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 1: Yet I like the way he plays.

1054
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 2: I think I think you can Yeah, that's fine. You

1055
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 2: have a great you have a great rep relationship with them.

1056
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 2: You got a good vibe. You're on an ayu. I

1057
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,240
Speaker 2: still like to say desumo, just if anything, to practice

1058
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:40,880
Speaker 2: pronouncing it.

1059
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 3: Uh.

1060
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,320
Speaker 2: They're at the dogs here, and we talked about the

1061
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 2: Wolves by yesterday and then will pause. There's nothing to

1062
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 2: change here. That was a sleepy one last night. They

1063
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 2: were awful from deep and in the third quarter it

1064
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 2: kind of felt like that wave was coming and they were.

1065
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 2: They were trailing into the fourth. They find their way

1066
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 2: to victory, but all these matter right now. Again, just

1067
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,360
Speaker 2: a game from the third spot, and they're at the Nuggets,

1068
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 2: I believe Sunday, so that's next up. That's mile high

1069
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 2: of a different flavor, and they need to find their

1070
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 2: way to a w there.

1071
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 1: And again just three.

1072
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 2: Games from being in a play in, one game from

1073
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 2: being in third. Nobody's catching the Spurs and thunder right now.

1074
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 2: But all of these matter in such a money muddy

1075
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 2: Western Conference. So get over the hump. Keep getting over

1076
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 2: the hump. Looking forward to Sunday at Denver. Thank you

1077
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 2: Brett for finding that audio. Will We're gonna do that,
