1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: Fair head, common man, common man, No sholl peple solid plan,

2
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: a secit approach will fail to in.

3
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 2: It's time for common.

4
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 1: Man, Come man, common man, charge of houss going?

5
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 2: Can what shoot? Where we plays? Deciding man?

6
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 3: It's time for common n.

7
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 4: Why should anybody aspire to be a common man? An

8
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 4: average man? Do you realize what it means to be average?

9
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 4: That means you're the best of the lousiest and the

10
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 4: lousiest of the best. Now, if we demand more and

11
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 4: more for producing less and less while they have not

12
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 4: nations and courage and inspire and indeed require hard work

13
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 4: and maximum effort. If we deify the common man while

14
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 4: they encourage and reward the uncommon ones, well, the end

15
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 4: result of such a loop sided race as that is

16
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 4: too obvious to require elaboration.

17
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 5: I mean, it's play, Hello, people had to buffalo play

18

Speaker 6: I think the weather, of course, having to spend a

20
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 6: lot of time in Minnesota, I understand the weather pattern.

21
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 6: Pick up the Calcutta clipper, swings down, swings up, lake front,

22
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 6: influence and out. I think we'll probably have about forty

23
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 6: five degree weather, so it will not be a typical

24
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 6: October thirty first in Buffalo.

25
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,080

Speaker 2: My email onto my phone.

68
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 3: So yesterday I looked at my email during a break

69
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 3: and Emily had sent out an email that said, hey,

70
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 3: last second availability a pair of sweet tickets in the

71
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 3: wild game tomorrow night.

00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 2: First nin wins.

73
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 3: So it was about twenty minutes before I checked out that, Ah,

74
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 3: somebody's probably did grab those by Deuce has been asking

75
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 3: me if we can go to a wild game sometime

76
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 3: if I get some tickets. So I text her back

77
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 3: and she guess, Mex says, you're in, and I guess,

78
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 3: deep down, I was hoping I was late. I was

79
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 3: hoping some of a salesperson would have grabbed it instead

80
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 3: of me. But what are you gonna do? But then

81
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 3: I and you had told me it was a late game,

82
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 3: but I didn't remember that it was a late game.

83
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 3: And so then when Duke said, does it bother you?

84
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 3: That's an eight thirty start, I said, I think ten,

85
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 3: I might want to go, And then I want to

86
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 3: do the bit where why would the league starting game

87
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 3: that late? Don't they want to grow the game?

88
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 2: And you're supposed to say, well coming.

89
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 3: I thought you were the guy that said that didn't matter,

90
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 3: and then my response to that would be, well, what

91
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 3: it didn't inconvenience me? Of course I didn't care, But

92
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 3: now that it does inconvenience me. They was a regular

93
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 3: season game, It's not like one of the playoff games

94
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 3: they do, and they're not going to start, They're not

95
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 3: going to drop the puck till eight fifteen fifty two start.

96
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's the worst, and then it's two and

97
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 3: a half hours. If there's no ot all, the worst

98
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 3: will be if they go and we have bonus hockey.

99
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 3: And then the crowd cheers, right because I told you

100
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 3: the Wolves game story. I got tickets and by the way,

101
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 3: I'm not like Rosen, I don't get.

102
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 2: The court side for free, free free. I bought them

103
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 2: for baby brother Peter's birthday, him and four of his buddies.

104
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 3: Five seats, expensive, outrageously priced.

105
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 2: But I did it because I'm that kind of guy.

106
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: I am. Hey was Christmas birthday?

107
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 7: Christmas?

108
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 2: I think it was Christmas?

109
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 3: And then Potato Deuce and myself did the nosebleeds right,

110
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 3: and it went to time and public addres announcer guy

111
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 3: goes and we've got over to her bonus whatever he said.

112
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 2: Everybody else started cheering, and I just dropped my head

113
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 2: into my hands like this, and Dukes just loved it

114
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 2: because I was just I it was, it was. I

115
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 2: didn't want to be there in the first place.

116
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 3: And now it's it's over, and so now you're gonna

117
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 3: Now there's more pain and suffering and the pain was tremendous.

118
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: And uh, but I did get duced to a degree

119
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 2: to this.

120
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 3: I said, if it's a three gold deficit either way

121
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 3: after two periods, we're leaving.

122
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 2: He said, yeah, we can do that. Wow. Well, because

123
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 2: in all.

124
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 3: Honesty, I mean, and you know, if I missed the

125
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 3: greatest comeback in Wild history. Oh no, not that anything

126
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 3: but that, I'll watch the highlights the next day or

127
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 3: hear you talk about it. But yeah, I'm going I

128
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 3: haven't been. I haven't been there since I did the

129
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 3: Let's play hockey. That was that was back in like

130
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 3: I think because Duce and baby brother Peter were really young.

131
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 2: I mean they must have been like six and four. Wow,

132
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 2: that long ago. Oh yeah, I was that long ago.

133
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 2: They were very young. Maybe they were a little older

134
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 2: than that, but not much. And let's play hockey.

135
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 3: And then uh, and then I I didn't say this

136
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 3: on Mike, and then I said, let's go home. But

137
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 3: I think we stayed for the whole game. I told

138
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 3: you when they were into hockey, both of them, we

139
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 3: went to a number of Wild games and I just

140
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 3: hated it because they discovered the hockey lodge. Yes, so now,

141
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 3: and they decided we want to collect all thirty two

142
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 3: pucks of the National Hockey League. Well they're all like thirteen,

143
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 3: you know, six seven dollars over price. They're all thirteen

144
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 3: fourteen bucks a puck, so we have to go by

145
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 3: and I was, I've got them all over the house now,

146
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 3: but then they they we decided hockey all of a

147
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 3: sudden became Duke Pete became a basketball guy after he

148
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 3: saw your banana underband changed everything. And then Deuce decided

149
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 3: he wanted to play soccer and you're insane, and the

150
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 3: rest is history.

151
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: So we kind of stopped. But I'm told that I.

152
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 3: Talked to somebody who said, I know, you're probably not

153
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 3: gonna pay that close attention in the game he goes,

154
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 3: But dude, pay attention to two things. He goes. When

155
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 3: Quinnesota's on the ice, you'll see how good he is.

156
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 3: And then there's a guy for the thunder or lightning

157
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 3: that's really good. He said, watch Kucharov, it's pretty good.

158
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 5: Uh.

159
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 2: Where does he rank in the pantheon? Is he a

160
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 2: top ten player?

161
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 7: Yeah?

162
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 3: I mean, for a while, you'd probably argue his top five.

163
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 3: He's still like to be in that top five conversation

164
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 3: and I'm assuming with an eight thirty start and they're

165
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 3: on the East Coast, this must be They must be

166
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 3: a good team too, right, this must be a.

167
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 2: High profile, one of the best teams in the East.

168
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 2: I mean they've they've won this, This core group has

169
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 2: won multiple Cups and you know they've They've aged a

170
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 2: little bit and players have gotten expensive over the years,

171
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 2: so it's been hard to manage a salary cap. But

172
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 2: they're kind of having a little bit of right. I

173
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 2: don't know what their future is three years from now,

174
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 2: but they got a shout this year.

175
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 3: Really okay, so I'm actually being treated to what should

176
00:09:58,840 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 3: be U.

177
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: You mentioned ninety that's awful. It's I it promises to

178
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 2: be well.

179
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 3: I shouldn't say promise because you never know in sports,

180
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 3: but on paper this or on ice, on paper, on ice, this.

181
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 2: This, this, this should be a good hockey game, as

182
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 2: long as we played better than we did the other

183
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 2: day against St. Louis. When when did Quinnesota get back

184
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 2: from from Hollywood? No, for me, it was in New

185
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 2: York last yesterday? Yeah, how long was now? What that

186
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 2: was late? He didn't get on the air until what

187
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 2: time is that is? At ten thirty?

188
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 3: Our time.

189
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 2: Is that late tonight? Eleven felt they're tapping that live.

190
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 2: But oh, yeah, that's right, you're right right tapping it

191
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 2: during the day at some point.

192
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 3: But I think you're right. They probably taped that. I

193
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 3: think it's like a four o'clock start, probably on a tape.

194
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 2: So hopefully he's well reached thirty start tonight, so maybe

195
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 2: got a little nap when he came home today.

196
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 3: Did you see the piece in the fish wrap factory?

197
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 3: I think it was fish Wrap West. It may have

198
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 3: an athletic where they talked about it was one of

199
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 3: those feature type pieces, feel good pieces about the tradition

200
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 3: of taking a nap hockey players always taken.

201
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,599
Speaker 2: Did you read the story. I don't know if I

202
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 2: have or not. Oh it was interesting.

203
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 3: I mean I I read it because I thought it

204
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 3: was kind of you know, I'm not big on reading

205
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 3: the gamer type stories. I mean, I'll glance at them

206
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 3: just see if anything interesting happen.

207
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 2: I look for quotes, you know how I am.

208
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 3: I'm looking for the quotes of like, you know, we

209
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 3: really don't really want to play these games. It sort

210
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 3: of seems like we're just waiting for posting. And I

211
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 3: love juicy quotes like that. But there was a story

212
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 3: about the tradition of the nap, and I think one

213
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 3: of the players said that he never really took one.

214
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 3: Then he gets to the big and everybody in the

215
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 3: in the in the locker say well, yeah, of course

216
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 3: you take a nap, and he goes, oh, okay, I

217
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 3: guess I'll start taking a nap, And they all love it,

218
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 3: And they all take naps, and they take varying lengths

219
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 3: and naps, I.

220
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 2: Mean some of them. With the travel and the late

221
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 2: night stuff, I'm sure they're even Like. I can't speak

222
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 2: for all the NHL players, but when I would play hockey,

223
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: even when I still play mensley hockey, when I'm dumb

224
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 2: the game, your exhalt, I can't well, no, it's just

225
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 2: like your heart is pumping nonstately. I can't just fall asleep.

226
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 2: So even if even if you wanted to sleep at

227
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 2: a certain time, it can take you a couple hours

228
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 2: to kind of wind down.

229
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 3: I had trouble getting to sleep last night. Well, for

230
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 3: the second time I've told you my new habit where

231
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 3: I fall asleep on the couch. I fell asleep probably

232
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 3: ten o'clock, woke up at one thirty, and this time

233
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 3: I decided not to read. I was gonna go straight

234
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 3: to bed. It took me an hour to fall asleep.

235
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 3: I don't know why, because it never takes me, but

236
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 3: I guess it's just my body. My body is used

237
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 3: to being up between one thirty and two thirty reading.

238
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 3: So I think that's what I've done. I've ruined myself

239
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 3: as far as sleep goes. I can still sleep. Once

240
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 3: I fell asleep, I was fine. I didn't wake up

241
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 3: until I heard Deuce's alarm. He's got some song playing

242
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 3: on it an alarm, so I I.

243
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 2: I go, cat, well, no, well it could have been.

244
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 2: It was some and I started doing the uh. So

245
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 2: I saw him.

246
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 3: I came from downstairs and he was packing his lunch

247
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 3: and I started humming or kind of you know, you know,

248
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 3: doing the song of his and go, do you know

Speaker 3: he goes, no, what's how to go? That's your alarm

251
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 3: And he goes, oh, sorry about that, You've got it

Speaker 3: get abe.

253
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 2: But it did wake me up. And that's from the

254
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 2: other room. Why is his alarm so loud? I don't know, Well,

255
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 2: he had it.

256
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 3: It's on his phone and was sitting on his dresser,

257
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 3: which is right by the door of his room, which

258
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 3: is kitty corner from mine, so it's very close.

259
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm looking forward to a little I don't know,

267
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 3: she'll be on level with him. Yeah, and then I'd

268
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 3: like to just I would do anything to come in

269
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:51,719
Speaker 3: and just sit right next to him in the seat

270
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 3: next to him.

271
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 2: How many times you've been in a suite at a

272
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 2: wild game?

273
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 5: Never?

274
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 2: So I know you're doing a weight loss thing right now? Yeah,

275
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 2: I know. I heard they have this this like a

276
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 2: whole set of tray of dessert, like a dessert cart.

277
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 2: Sitting out said oh my.

278
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 3: Gosh, Well here's what I'll tell you, right, try walking

279
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 3: by that.

280
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 2: And not getting a dessert.

281
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I'm really not, you know, matter of fact,

282
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 3: I'll probably be telling you about eventually here about and

283
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 3: been fat loss. But I'm now in the maintenance phase.

284
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 3: I'm done with reduction. I lost the thirty pounds in

285
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 3: sixty days. So with eighty percent of your food is purpose,

286
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 3: eighty percent of your food is pleasure.

287
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 2: I could have a little pleasures now, I could have it.

288
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 3: I would get some pleasure tonight. I can get a

289
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 3: little dessert now. Again, I got to be really careful

290
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 3: about it, but I can't. You know, it's all about

291
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 3: just maintaining your weight. So yeah, so I look forward

292
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 3: to it. I'll be there tonight and I'll have a

00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 3: Tennebee Jonathan Gnnard is a cat number of twenty two

314
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 3: point three million in twenty twenty six.

315
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 2: He's a core player, a locker room leader, and in

316
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 2: the prime of his career.

317
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 3: It's also worth noting that when he was injured in

318
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, Dallas Turner, a twenty twenty four first

319
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 3: round pick, at a very productive run.

320
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 2: What this is leading to, Tennaby is you sent me a.

321
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 3: Little bit earlier today An Adam Schefter tweet that reads

322
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 3: as follows, vikings are now open to trading.

323
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl rusher Jonathan Gnarr source you are about show.

324
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 3: They would like to keep Grenard, but they also have

325
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 3: salary cap issues they're working through that have led to

326
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 3: these trade conversations. He's been really good for the club.

327
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 3: I don't understand how. I mean, I know you have

328
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 3: salary cap issues, don't you. I thought we went to

329
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 3: the I thought we always kicked the can.

330
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 2: Down the road.

331
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 3: When you have players who really wanted to keep, you're

332
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 3: able to say, hey, let's readjust it a little bit.

333
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 3: We'll give you a little bit of a signing bonus

334
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 3: here and we'll move it on down. I don't pretend

335
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 3: to understand what the roberts Inski's in the world do.

336
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 3: But Grenard has been a a productive player.

337
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 2: Here's what DraftKings said over the last three seasons.

338
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 3: Forty two starts, one hundred and forty nine tackles, twenty

339
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 3: seven and a half sacks, forty three tackles for lost,

340
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 3: six forced fumbles. That sounds like some really good productivity

341
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 3: for a football player in three years.

342
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 2: Your thoughts. I predicted on these eurways months ago that

343
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 2: this was going to happen, that he was going to

344
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 2: be a cap casualty. And I think it's a combination.

345
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 2: I think everyone listening likes Jonathan Garnard as a player,

346
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 2: and in a perfect world you'd have him back. But

347
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,959
Speaker 2: they have major cap issues and he's making twenty two

348
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 2: million dollars. And you can't say this about many positions

349
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 2: on the Vikings, but it's a position where we have depth,

350
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 2: we have strength, right. You already have Andrew van Ginkel,

351
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 2: and you have a guy that you gave up a

352
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 2: lot of draft capital to move up in the first round,

353
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 2: and he was playing well at the end of the year,

354
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 2: and he's younger and for now he's cheaper. So I

355
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 2: don't think it has anything to do with being disappointed

356
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 2: with Garnard's just it just makes a lot of sense that, well,

357
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 2: let's allocate this money elsewhere when we you know, when

358
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 2: all three of them are healthy, they can't all play

359
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 2: at the same time anyway, So you open up some

360
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 2: room for Dallas Turner to play more while getting rid

361
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 2: of some cap space. I kind of caught me off guard,

362
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 2: but I guess everything you say makes sense. It does

363
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 2: you think Robertszinski and Kevin O'Connell know exactly what they're doing.

364
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 3: You can't keep everybody right. I mean, as a Lions fan,

365
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 3: I was I was. I didn't like the idea of

366
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 3: losing uh Demo, but they're already strong at the position.

367
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 3: But they are strong at the position. They got one

368
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 3: of the best running backs in the league. I think

369
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 3: part of the reason he was so good. I liked

370
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 3: their change of pace with the did I like the

371
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 3: tough yards that Demo was able to get for them.

372
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 3: And you know, I don't know, you know, it's it's

373
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 3: you can't keep everybody. I don't think he was happy

374
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 3: with He wouldn't have fit into my theory about four

375
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 3: or five running backs. He's a guy that wants to

376
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 3: play more and maybe a lot of them do. I

377
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 3: but he's not going to get You're not going to

378
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 3: get more carries than Gibbs. You're just not You're not

379
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 3: as good. You're a good player, you have a place

380
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 3: in the league, it's obvious. But you're not You're not

381
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 3: going to take carries away from him.

382
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 2: So, yeah, with Purple, there's only so many hands that

383
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 2: can go into the Yeah. I like that.

384
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, there are only so many ends that can go

385
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 3: on the grass or the astro turf. And that would

386
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 3: be so Gernard could be gone. You know, someone said,

387
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 3: no one's going to give up pick picks the white.

388
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 2: For him to get Wave.

389
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 3: That's not true because if Gernard's got that kind of

390
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 3: value that I think he might have, there will be

391
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 3: seven several teams that would want his services, and they're

392
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 3: not going to all wait until he right, take a

393
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 3: chance on him picking someplace. If you contact, if I

394
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 3: can say we're interested, we'll give you a fourth or

395
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 3: whatever would take to get Grenard. I think there will

396
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 3: be suitors on a trade, don't.

397
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 2: You or do you think? I mean, but you have

398
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,959
Speaker 2: you'd have to agree to a contract though with Gernard

399
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 2: ahead of time. Okay, you're not going to trade for him,

400
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 2: and then he's a free agent. No, I guess he

401
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 2: wouldn't be free agent. He would just yeah, no, yeah,

402
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 2: they're looking to trade him. Yeah, you're right, I'm sorry,

403
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 2: I completely space. Yeah, So yeah, I think there's there'll

404
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 2: be suitors out there. Yeah, I would because I I

405
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 2: just think that I think I saw someone suggest like

406
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 2: the value for him might be like a second round

407
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 2: under that would make it. I think there's a team

408
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 2: out there there up a second round there.

409
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 3: He's uh, he's a plugin in play guy, right, And

410
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 3: it's not like it's like, well, we got to see

411
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 3: you if he fits our scheme, and we're gonna have to,

412
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 3: you know, work him into the starting lineup. He comes

413
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 3: right in in place. He's I would put him into

414
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 3: that category of your mercenary kind of a guy. Yeah,

415
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 3: you know, half football will travel.

416
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 2: I can play with you. Yah, what you saw what

417
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 2: he did. Just you know, let me play and I'll

418
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 2: play and he could be it.

419
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 3: You know, that'll be a position to need for somebody

420
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 3: that's willing to give up, uh something for him. So yeah,

421
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 3: it could be nobody makes a trade offer, but my

422
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 3: guess is somebody will, so uh, we'll just have to

423
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 3: see how that that plays out.

424
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 2: I don't it's going to come as a shock to people.

425
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 3: I don't think we're going to talk about the quarterback

426
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 3: position right now because I don't think anything's changed between

427
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 3: today and yesterday when we talked about a quarterback. Nothing's

428
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 3: changed as far as I know, And unless you found

429
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 3: a nugget out there, but I don't think anything has changed.

430
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 2: So here we are. We're just kind of in a.

431
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 3: Bit of a holding pattern, wondering who the Vikings are

432
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 3: going to acquire. So I guess we are talking quarterback.

433
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 3: Everybody believes, and I think they have to. They're gonna

434
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 3: find They're gonna get somebody. It's just to matters if

435
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 3: they want to get like a Murray a cousin's who's

436
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 3: the other guy they were talking about, Not Mariota but

437
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 3: Gino Smith, Gel Smith. I mean we're on six days

438
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 3: away from the legal tampering period, so a player of

439
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 3: that ilk or if they and again we talked about it,

440
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 3: I just I really don't see it being announced the

441
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 3: Vikings have traded for like a Joe Burrow or Lamar Jackson.

442
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 3: I guess stranger things have happened, but I wouldn't expect that.

443
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 3: So we'll just have to let that play out and

444
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 3: see how it goes. Peak at the Purple brought you

460
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 2: Here's what it says. It's an Associated Press story.

Speaker 3: The runner who was leading the women's race at the

462
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,160

463
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 3: the course by a guide vehicle is calling for the

464
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,719
Speaker 3: United States Track and Field to make right an outcome

465
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 3: that cost her a spot on the World Running Championships

466
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 3: this fall. Jess McClain was ahead by a wide margin

467
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 3: with about one point five miles to go Sunday when

468
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 3: she and three other runners followed the guide vehicle on

469
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 3: a wrong turn. They were supposed to take a left

470
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 3: and take the Joysy Turnpike, and they went right and

471
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 3: they went to sconnected He instead. McClain said in an

472
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 3: Instagram post that she followed a police escort, official lead

473
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 3: vehicle and a media motorcycle off.

474
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 2: The course for about one kilometer. That's what she wrote.

475
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 3: I had to come to a stop, make tight and

476
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 3: complete U turn and run back onto the course. As

477
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 3: a national championship title and a World team spot slipped away,

478
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 3: I'm going to try my hardest to walk away from

479
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 3: this week and remembering the joy I felt in those

480
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 3: moments where I thought I was on my way to

481
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 3: becoming a national champion and finally make the Team USA outright. McLain,

482
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 3: who was from Phoenix, ended up finishing ninth. The next

483
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 3: two runners who followed her off the course, Emma Hurley

484
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 3: of Colorado Springs and Edna Kergakt of Roswell, Georgia, were

485
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 3: twelfth and thirteenth, respectively. Molly Born of Chapel Hill, North Carolina,

486
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 3: across the finish line first in one hour, nine minutes

487
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 3: and forty three seconds. Here's what she said, I don't

488
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 3: really feel like the US champion just because of the

489
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 3: whole situation that went down at the very end. Now

490
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 3: what it says, tennebe.

491
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 2: I said.

492
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 3: McLain and three other runners who followed the lead vehicle

493
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 3: appealed after the protests of the order of.

494
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 2: Finish was rejected. The USATF said in a.

495
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 3: Statement the Jury of Appeals found the event did not

496
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 3: meet USATF Rule two forty three and that the course

497
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 3: was not adequately marked at the point of misdirection. This

498
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 3: violation contributed to the misdirection taken about the athletes within

499
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 3: the top four at the same time misdirection. However, the

500
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 3: Jury of Appeals finds no recourse within the USATF rule

501
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 3: book to alter the results or to alter the results

502
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:29,959
Speaker 3: order finish. The results order finish has posted is considered final.

503
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 3: Now what I had read earlier on the weekend that

504
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 3: I don't see it here. It said something about the

505
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 3: runners still at the end of the day is responsible

506
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 3: for knowing the course. Sure, but how do I mean

507
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 3: I would feel cheated as this, see, I don't know

508
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 3: what the solution. Well, they just decided too bad. I mean,

509
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 3: they're just washing their hands a bit and just saying hey,

510
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 3: because they don't know what to do. Because there's no

511
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 3: winning outcome here. Yeah, there really isn't. Even the girl

512
00:26:55,160 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 3: that's that, the woman that won, even she says, I

513
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 3: really don't feel like the Champa she was going to

514
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 3: finish a distance who knows, fourth, fifth, eighth, whatever, the

515
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 3: case may be. And I guess you can't do it

516
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 3: over again, right, you can't bring everybody back. I'm sure

517
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 3: it's it's a rather large undertaking. I'm assuming right, you

518
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 3: have to set up a course to shut that down.

519
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 3: If you had registered, you had volunteers, the whole thing.

520
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 3: But how do they how do the how does this

521
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 3: lead vehicle? And they and the police escort not nowhere?

522
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 3: I mean you would think they would know, now I'm

523
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 3: one er. Is there an inside job? Maybe they had

524
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 3: money on the other guy, Well that's it, yeah somebody

525
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 3: or yeah, or it was a front.

526
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 2: It's it's almost like uh.

527
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 3: Gluley stant and Eckhart And then what was the skater's name?

528
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 3: Why can't I remember her name? Tonya Harding? Maybe it

529
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 3: was one of those kinds of things.

530
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 2: But I just this isn't to me. I don't even

531
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 2: know how you can How do you let that stand?

532
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 2: I guess you have to. I just want to know, like,

533
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 2: is the lead is the guide vehicle? Is this someone

534
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 2: who's like employed by the race or is this just

535
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 2: to volunte you know, it's like one of those volunteers

536
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 2: you get at the three them open that's just there

537
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 2: to here's what it says.

538
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,479
Speaker 3: The USATF said lead vehicles are provided and managed by

539
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 3: the local organizing committee, which is the Atlanta Track Club.

540
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 3: So probably someone who wanted to volunteer for it. That's

541
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 3: a cool job. I'll be the truck that's guide in

542
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 3: the way, and it's like, you might want to know

543
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 3: what the route is? I mean because to me, yeah,

544
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know what the answer is

545
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 3: because you're wrong. Can you imagine if.

546
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 2: Running in this race had the popularity of like the NFL,

547
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 2: Like the outrage you'd get on social media, Like you'd

548
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,719
Speaker 2: have people like trying to figure out who was driving

549
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 2: the lead vehicle, and then once they find pictures of

550
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 2: this person, they'd like post their address. This person would

551
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 2: get death threats. Here's what McClean said. That was the

552
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 2: gal that would have one Right now.

553
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 3: Mistakes happen, and I'm sure those who were leading us

554
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 3: feel terrible about the outcome. I just hate that the

555
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 3: athletes are always that's capitalized, the.

556
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 2: Ones who pay the price.

557
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 3: And then she has literally and she has cash signs

558
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 3: in there time and time again. She says she trusts

559
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 3: us at F and the Atlanta Track Club. Can someone

560
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 3: make it right for the athletes who are let off course.

561
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 3: Sounds like conversations are still being had, So I'm choosing

562
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 3: to remain hopeful that we'll soon have a little more

563
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 3: clarity than what we left Atlanta with and actionable steps forward.

564
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 2: So yeah, I am.

565
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 3: Look, I don't I don't have a horse in the race.

566
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 3: Of course, it's not a horse race. It's a human race,

567
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 3: so I would of course you couldn't have a horse

568
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 3: in the race of horse and a horse.

569
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 2: Of course. Of course I don't have a dog in

570
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 2: the fight either. It's not a fight.

571
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 3: There's not dogs, you know, it's not I'm not going

572
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 3: to pull a rose in and say I won't rest until.

573
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 2: Justice is done here. But I this, I'd be po'ed

574
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 2: if I was sure.

575
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 3: As the mcclaim person, it's like now again, it wasn't

576
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 3: in this story unless because I was kind of skimming.

577
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 3: I shouldn't admit working at the all sports station that

578
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 3: had just skimmed stories sometimes. But I know I read

579
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 3: in the one over the weekend that it did say

580
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, there is something in

581
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 3: the rules that say ultimate responsibility for knowing the courses

582
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 3: is up to the runner. So I guess technically it's

583
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 3: one of those too bad, bad break, but that's just

584
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 3: the way it goes, right, And it was only three

585
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 3: of them that followed that.

586
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 2: Clearly there were other gals out there that well, yeah,

587
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 2: unless they were so far back.

588
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 3: Well that's what I think. I think they were so

589
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 3: far back. I turned into a three person race. The

590
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 3: gall that said, I don't really feel like the US

591
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 3: champion because of the whole situation that went down at

592
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 3: the end.

593
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 2: She did the interview on Fast Women YouTube channel. My favorites.

594
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, you told me about it one time,

595
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 3: and I never I never checked it out, But now

596
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 3: I'm gonna. I'm gonna subscribe to it the Fast Women

597
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 3: YouTube channel. It's fast. You don't even have to watch

598
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 3: it for very long. That's the beauty of it. Anyway,

599
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 3: there is that, and so I sort of feel bad,

600
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 3: I mean, not so bad.

601
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 2: It's a no win situation.

602
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: It is.

603
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 2: There's there's not a ruling you can make that is

604
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 2: the correct ruling. Then there's one other Associated Press story

605
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 2: I saw. Do you know who Luke Cornett is? No

606
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 2: NBA player Atlanta Hawks? Oh yeah, they always boo him.

607
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 2: I don't understand why. Yeah, I don't know. They they do.

608
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 2: Everybody announce him before games and where you'll make a

609
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 2: basket and they'll go boo. Yeah, it doesn't make sense.

610
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 5: This is uh.

611
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 2: This is an Associated Press story from this morning.

612
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 3: Luke Cornett called on the Atlanta Hawks to cancel their

613
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 3: upcoming collaboration with Magic City, saying he and other NBA

614
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 3: players are surprised by the team's decision tomote the adult

615
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 3: entertainment club.

616
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 2: I's gonna say, what's Magic City?

617
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 3: San Antonio Spurs Center wrote Monday that allowing the March

618
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 3: sixteenth event during the Hawks game against the Atlanta Magic

619
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 3: would reflect poorly on us as an NBA community, specifically

620
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 3: in being complicit to the potential objectification and mistreatment of

621
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 3: women in our society. Cornette, in a blog post said,

622
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 3: regardless of how the woman finds a way into the

623
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 3: adult entertainment industry, many in this space experience abuse, harassment,

624
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 3: and violence which should which they should never be subjected.

625
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 3: He said, the NBA failed to acknowledge that this place

626
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 3: is that it is, as the business of self boasts

627
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 3: Atlanta's premier strip club, the Premier One, the Premier One.

628
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 3: The Hawks announcement promotion last week's in It would include

629
00:32:54,320 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 3: a live performance Come ah My Atlanta Native TI in

630
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 3: two versions of Magic City is Famed, Chicken Wings, and

631
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 3: a special hoodie available for purchase right.

632
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 2: Up Rosen's Alley. Because of the Hooters thing. This is

633
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 2: right up ross. This like a parody story. No, there's

634
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 2: no way a professional sports team thought this was a

635
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 2: good idea.

636
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 3: This is what well, that's why it's it's just not

637
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 3: a good idea, I think, you know. And again, adult

638
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 3: entertainment clubs, strip clubs, they're legal. You don't depending upon

639
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 3: you know, you know what if you're of age and

640
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 3: it's and they're legal to it's a legal business, right

641
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 3: And I guess if the Alanta Hawks want to get.

642
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 2: Tied in with that promotion.

643
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like kids in the audience and they have

644
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 3: a performance by t I whoever, whoever t I is.

645
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 2: I don't know the rappers. Oh t I rot good hits.

646
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 2: I thought maybe t I was one of the ladies

647
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 2: that was performing, and they have a performance there. Yeah, baby,

648
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 2: they thinking I don't know it.

649
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 3: Again, it's look at you know, at the risk of

650
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 3: being call the players are the moral company and at

651
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 3: the risk of being considered approved.

652
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 2: What's wrong with the common I go to troop clubs

653
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 2: all the time, nothing wrong went well, okay, you know

654
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 2: that's you know, you're right there. You can go if

655
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 2: you want. They're legal tender.

656
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: But I.

657
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 3: Like, for instance, Tenneby, And you might even find this

658
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 3: as a shock because I rarely turned down appearance money.

659
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 3: But if they said, do you want to appear at

660
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 3: a strip club next Saturday night for a few hundred bucks,

661
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 3: I'd decline.

662
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 2: You tell, yeah, I already go there for free anyway,

663
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 2: might as well get some money, hold on a few

664
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:52,959
Speaker 2: lap dances with that money.

665
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I'm I would just say I'm out, yes,

666
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 3: you know, I just that's I can't do that. Plus

667
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 3: my wife would want me.

668
00:34:58,160 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 2: To step Yeah, I don't think she would approve of that.

669
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 7: Yeah.

670
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 3: So but it's like, so that's what that's what it

671
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 3: was like. You say, the player is the moral compass,

672
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 3: and I said, what are we doing here?

673
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 2: So there you go. That's I still don't believe that's

674
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 2: a real story. Well that has to have been made

675
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 2: up that no team would ever think that was a

676
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 2: smart idea, Not to mention, does the does the the

677
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 2: club even have enough money to make to make you

678
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 2: even have to think about it, right, that they're giving

679
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 2: you so much money. They can't have that much. Yeah,

680
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's I I saw it and I yeah,

681
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 2: that's crazy. I saw it and I looked at and

682
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 2: I thought to myself, No, not not a good thing.

683
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: There.

684
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 2: One golf note for you here.

685
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 3: John Ram tore into the European Tour Tuesday over its

686
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 3: offer for him and other Live Golf for live golf

687
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 3: players to rejoin, claiming the tour is extorting players by

688
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 3: forcing them to play additional tournaments. Rom competing this week

689
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 3: and Live Golf Hong Kong spoke publicly for the first

690
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 3: times as a European Tour announced a deal that would

691
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 3: require live players to pay previous fines for not getting

692
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 3: releases and to compete in additional events designated by the tour.

693
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 3: Eight players from Live including Tyrrel Hatton, accept the deal.

694
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,399
Speaker 2: Rom did not. Here's what Rom said.

695
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,439
Speaker 3: I don't know what the game they're trying to play

696
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 3: right now, but it just seems like in a way

697
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 3: they're using our impact and tournaments and finding us and

698
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 3: trying to benefit both ways from what we have to offer.

699
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 3: In a way, they're extorting players like myself and young

700
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 3: players that have nothing to do with the politics of

701
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 3: the game.

702
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 2: So I don't like the situation and I'm not going

703
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 2: to agree to that.

704
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 3: Story goes on to say players are required to play

705
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 3: four tournaments, not including the majors, to keep membership on

706
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 3: the European Tour. Rom said the deal whatever required live

707
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 3: members to play six tournaments, and then rom said, and

708
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 3: they dictate where two of those have to be, among

709
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 3: other things that I don't agree with. I've been a

710
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 3: dual member my whole career PGA DP number. Once have

711
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 3: I been asked for a release to play either one

712
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 3: of those tours. So why is it now that we

713
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 3: need to be offering this and there's still these penalties.

714
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 3: I don't like the situation, you know, I don't understand

715
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 3: all the ins and outs and the technicality of it is.

716
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 3: I just find it really hard to have any sympathy

717
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 3: for John rom.

718
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: I.

719
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 3: The money they gave him to go play live. I

720
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 3: don't know if it's any of it's public, but it's

721
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 3: hundreds of millions of dollars. They gave him hundreds of millions.

722
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 3: Hundreds He may have been paid more probably than any

723
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 3: other player other than maybe Kepka. I know Mickelson got

724
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 3: a big chunk of change in Deschambau. Those are the

725
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:59,760
Speaker 3: big names. Those are the guys that got really hefty

726
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:01,760
Speaker 3: chick and I don't know if it's ever been public

727
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 3: how much those players received. But ah, they're asking Johnny

728
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 3: to play two extra tournaments.

729
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,439
Speaker 2: Yes, j reported it was more than three hundred million

730
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 2: dollars million dollars, three hundred millions, some more of them.

731
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 2: But they even say three hundred. He already made one

732
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty two, and so now.

733
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 3: He's and I guess he's probably doing it on the

734
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 3: principle of things, but you know, they're extorting money from

735
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 3: him because they wanted to play two extraternaments.

736
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 2: And guess what they tell me where I have to play,

737
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 2: poor john It's like modern days life. Yeah, what it is,

738
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 2: That's what I was gonna say.

739
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 3: It's like modern day slavery telling them you have to

740
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 3: play and you have to pay some of those and

741
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 3: what are those fines anyways, one hundred twenty five thousand

742
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 3: dollars fifty one hundred whatever it is. It's walking around

743
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:55,240
Speaker 3: money for a guy like that and I love watching

744
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 3: him play.

745
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 7: I mean, the.

746
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 2: Michelson doesn't have much left, I don't think, but.

747
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 3: Romster DeChambeau and who's the other guy kept goa they

748
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 3: still got a lot to offer. I mean, Kepka was

749
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 3: pretty good this past week and he played. He's trying

750
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,399
Speaker 3: to get his game back in gear as he gets

751
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 3: ready for for Augusta. And I think he I mean

752
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 3: he didn't finish in the hunt. I mean, I think

753
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 3: he was eight shots back. But but but he played

754
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 3: pretty well throughout the entire weekend. So as much as

755
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 3: I like watching those guys, like I say, I just

756
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 3: I have a hard time drumming up a lot of

757
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 3: sympathy for poor John Rahm, you know, and he did

758
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 3: throw in the other, you know, the other, you know,

759
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 3: extorting these other players who had nothing to do. They

760
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 3: had some of the youngers, but you know, they all

761
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 3: made their bed. They all decided they wanted to play

762
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 3: and live and so and.

763
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 2: Live now and they knew that what came along with that.

764
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think live starting to die, I really do,

765
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:57,879
Speaker 3: because now that they've lost Kopka, who do they even

766
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 3: have left that they have to shambo? Even he was

767
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 3: sound like maybe the next year. He's got like a

768
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 3: year left on his contract. Yeah, he's probably gonna come back.

769
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 3: And now I think Rom's just I don't think Rom

770
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 3: ever really really, I think he was torn because.

771
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,800
Speaker 2: You know, he's he's like a historian.

772
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: He is.

773
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, he knows every turn of who they want, everything

774
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 3: about the players, and he loved it. But then all
