WEBVTT - Win Cities! Common Man Hour 1

0:00:05.930 --> 0:00:10.250
<v Speaker 1>Common Man, Common Man, no show prep, no solid plan.

0:00:10.510 --> 0:00:12.510
<v Speaker 2>Spins a yarn, recants a tale.

0:00:12.539 --> 0:00:14.760
<v Speaker 1>The esoteric approach won't fail.

0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:16.500
<v Speaker 3>Tune in, it's.

0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:17.660
<v Speaker 1>Time for Common Man.

0:00:20.090 --> 0:00:20.989
<v Speaker 3>Oh, boy.

0:00:21.010 --> 0:00:23.370
<v Speaker 1>Why should anybody aspire to be a common man, an

0:00:23.410 --> 0:00:24.350
<v Speaker 1>average man?

0:00:24.370 --> 0:00:27.580
<v Speaker 4>Do you realize what it means to be average?

0:00:27.620 --> 0:00:30.680
<v Speaker 1>That means you're the best of the lousiest.

0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:47.380
<v Speaker 5>And the lousiest of the best. Now, if we demand

0:00:47.470 --> 0:00:49.830
<v Speaker 5>more and more for producing less and less, while the

0:00:49.890 --> 0:00:54.790
<v Speaker 5>have-not nations encourage and inspire and indeed require hard work

0:00:54.930 --> 0:00:58.730
<v Speaker 5>and maximum effort, if we deify the common men while

0:00:58.770 --> 0:01:02.690
<v Speaker 5>they encourage and reward the uncommon ones, well, the end

0:01:02.750 --> 0:01:05.050
<v Speaker 5>result of such a lopsided race as that is too

0:01:05.150 --> 0:01:06.690
<v Speaker 5>obvious to require elaboration.

0:01:06.709 --> 0:01:07.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's like, uh-oh.

0:01:10.970 --> 0:01:18.490
<v Speaker 3>Rosa, you don't know nothing. I'm a fraud.

0:01:18.590 --> 0:01:18.890
<v Speaker 1>Yes.

0:01:20.650 --> 0:01:25.110
<v Speaker 5>Well, I read the USA Today and I read the

0:01:25.130 --> 0:01:25.550
<v Speaker 5>New York Times.

0:01:25.590 --> 0:01:26.789
<v Speaker 6>And I read those both every day.

0:01:27.350 --> 0:01:28.510
<v Speaker 1>And I listen to music.

0:01:28.569 --> 0:01:29.030
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't really.

0:01:29.050 --> 0:01:30.209
<v Speaker 6>I mean, it wouldn't do me any good.

0:01:30.110 --> 0:01:32.649
<v Speaker 2>To listen to talk shows because what's great about America,

0:01:32.670 --> 0:01:33.830
<v Speaker 2>everybody has an opinion.

0:01:34.010 --> 0:01:34.490
<v Speaker 3>You know what I mean?

0:01:34.550 --> 0:01:36.410
<v Speaker 2>But what's also great about America, you don't have to

0:01:36.470 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 2>listen to them.

0:01:37.060 --> 0:01:38.080
<v Speaker 1>And that's the great part.

0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:44.539
<v Speaker 7>Ladies and gentlemen, we're seeing what a sophisticated offensive game

0:01:44.740 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 7>plan looks like.

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:46.980
<v Speaker 1>You talk about....

0:01:48.750 --> 0:02:00.010
<v Speaker 2>There's an old saying in Tennessee, I know it's in Texas,

0:02:00.030 --> 0:02:00.410
<v Speaker 2>probably in.

0:02:00.350 --> 0:02:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee, but there's only one. Shame on.

0:02:06.460 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Shame on you.

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 5>If you fool me, you can't get fooled again.

0:02:14.020 --> 0:02:17.060
<v Speaker 3>Do you find this funny, Mr. Groh? You're smiling. Do

0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 3>you find this humorous?

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:21.680
<v Speaker 1>No, they're not.

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:26.580
<v Speaker 3>Do you find this humorous, Mr. Groh? You're laughing and smiling.

0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:31.870
<v Speaker 3>I'm just wondering if you do. You didn't answer my question, Mr. Groh.

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:33.040
<v Speaker 3>Do you find this humorous?

0:02:33.190 --> 0:02:34.290
<v Speaker 1>No, I find it humorous.

0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:38.970
<v Speaker 3>At least you're not smiling and laughing now. Oh, I

0:02:38.990 --> 0:02:48.900
<v Speaker 3>guess you're back at it again now.

0:02:53.620 --> 0:02:55.430
<v Speaker 8>There may be skullduggery ahead.

0:03:01.860 --> 0:03:05.079
<v Speaker 1>Talk about guys stealing for one to three. You ought

0:03:05.100 --> 0:03:10.250
<v Speaker 1>to pay that station to be on there. I'm a fraud.

0:03:10.370 --> 0:03:10.650
<v Speaker 6>Yes.

0:03:12.950 --> 0:03:15.530
<v Speaker 1>He's the clown from Brown.

0:03:15.770 --> 0:03:21.200
<v Speaker 8>He's the fourth in the North. This is the common man,

0:03:21.340 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 8>Dan Cole.

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:27.150
<v Speaker 1>So, what's your boyfriend do for a living? He's a waiter.

0:03:27.889 --> 0:03:33.869
<v Speaker 1>Her boyfriend's a bleep, bleep waiter. So, you were in

0:03:33.930 --> 0:03:36.970
<v Speaker 1>for me on Friday. The Jennifer Fitzgerald set sail. I'm

0:03:36.990 --> 0:03:38.490
<v Speaker 1>assuming it went very, very well.

0:03:39.650 --> 0:03:41.410
<v Speaker 6>Why would you assume that? I would assume the other way.

0:03:41.610 --> 0:03:46.570
<v Speaker 1>Well, I did, but generally, when you're on the air,

0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:52.060
<v Speaker 1>I'll get several text messages and half a dozen emails, six,

0:03:52.100 --> 0:03:58.180
<v Speaker 1>seven emails that will say, Partly cloudy, seas are calm

0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 1>just before noon, then all of a sudden it'll be

0:04:00.780 --> 0:04:02.470
<v Speaker 1>clouds begin to roll in.

0:04:03.430 --> 0:04:06.330
<v Speaker 8>Now there's, seas are getting a little bit rough.

0:04:07.110 --> 0:04:09.270
<v Speaker 1>All of a sudden the 10 of Fitzgerald, you know,

0:04:09.490 --> 0:04:11.570
<v Speaker 1>then 12, 15 or so, 10 of Fitzgerald is taking

0:04:11.690 --> 0:04:14.690
<v Speaker 1>on water. 10 of Fitzgerald is starting to list to

0:04:14.790 --> 0:04:17.890
<v Speaker 1>one side, not the kind of lists I do, but

0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 1>you're listing to one side. Then all of a sudden it's, it's,

0:04:22.270 --> 0:04:27.790
<v Speaker 1>Tenabee has given immediate orders to lower the lifeboats. Suddenly,

0:04:28.420 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 1>somebody says signal flares are going off, right? And suddenly

0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:35.500
<v Speaker 1>it's May Day, May Day, not May Day in Green Bay,

0:04:35.540 --> 0:04:39.599
<v Speaker 1>but May Day on Friday. And then the next thing

0:04:39.620 --> 0:04:42.210
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's a search and rescue mission. And then

0:04:42.230 --> 0:04:45.390
<v Speaker 1>by the time we get to 1230, it's a recovery mission.

0:04:45.630 --> 0:04:47.350
<v Speaker 1>I didn't get any of those. I'm assuming he was.

0:04:47.550 --> 0:04:48.610
<v Speaker 6>Maybe they just weren't listening at all.

0:04:50.010 --> 0:04:55.060
<v Speaker 1>Hold on a second. Well, there's that. Maybe that's what

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:58.200
<v Speaker 1>it was. How was it Friday?

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.180
<v Speaker 7>I mean, it was fine. I had lots of help.

0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:06.050
<v Speaker 7>I had Pete Bursich to break down Vikings, Dolphins, Lil B, obviously,

0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:06.560
<v Speaker 7>on Fridays.

0:05:06.580 --> 0:05:07.570
<v Speaker 6>We had Password.

0:05:07.990 --> 0:05:11.849
<v Speaker 7>What did you.

0:05:11.410 --> 0:05:13.010
<v Speaker 8>And Lil B talk about?

0:05:13.029 --> 0:05:15.210
<v Speaker 6>Oh, man, I'm trying to remember.

0:05:16.710 --> 0:05:18.290
<v Speaker 1>Juj? No.

0:05:18.610 --> 0:05:19.250
<v Speaker 6>What did we talk about?

0:05:19.270 --> 0:05:21.380
<v Speaker 1>Was she trying to explain what you're supposed to do

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:25.060
<v Speaker 1>as a man? Cause she's got all the answers. You know,

0:05:25.100 --> 0:05:28.219
<v Speaker 1>we always do everything wrong. So I thought maybe.

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:31.040
<v Speaker 7>I forget what we talk about. So, and who played

0:05:31.060 --> 0:05:37.000
<v Speaker 7>program password? Lil B, Audra Martin, Max Fuller, and Kevin Fulness.

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:38.620
<v Speaker 1>Did Lil B win?

0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:41.660
<v Speaker 6>It was on her team.

0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:45.700
<v Speaker 7>I think she did. Her and Fulness won, yeah. You're

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:46.300
<v Speaker 7>getting close to her.

0:05:46.500 --> 0:05:46.820
<v Speaker 4>I am.

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.690
<v Speaker 1>I have a message. for Lil B.

0:05:50.250 --> 0:05:53.010
<v Speaker 6>Objects in your mirror may be closer than they appear.

0:05:53.029 --> 0:05:56.740
<v Speaker 1>Here's the game. Here's the games people play now every

0:05:56.779 --> 0:05:59.200
<v Speaker 1>night and every day now. Never meaning what they say now.

0:05:59.220 --> 0:06:01.599
<v Speaker 1>Never saying what they mean. Tell me, I want you

0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.840
<v Speaker 1>to guess which team is going to lose first. Will

0:06:04.900 --> 0:06:08.400
<v Speaker 1>it be the 4-0 Vikings, the 2-0 Wild, the 1-0 Wolves?

0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:13.050
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's win cities. We're coming. It's win cities

0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.890
<v Speaker 1>and they're getting excited about the Wolves already. I'm reading

0:06:15.970 --> 0:06:17.710
<v Speaker 1>all sorts of different reports on it.

0:06:17.990 --> 0:06:22.289
<v Speaker 7>The amount of giddiness over a preseason win last night.

0:06:22.610 --> 0:06:24.630
<v Speaker 1>This has given us a little glimpse of what we're

0:06:24.650 --> 0:06:26.510
<v Speaker 1>going to see this year. We're going to move the

0:06:26.550 --> 0:06:28.390
<v Speaker 1>ball up and down the floor. We're going to have

0:06:28.410 --> 0:06:32.920
<v Speaker 1>a free-flowing offense, knocking down threes, picks and rolls.

0:06:33.180 --> 0:06:35.640
<v Speaker 8>We're no longer a big, tall, lumbering team.

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.640
<v Speaker 1>We're fast-paced. This is a glimpse of what we're about

0:06:38.660 --> 0:06:40.380
<v Speaker 1>to see. I hope we see better than one for

0:06:40.420 --> 0:06:43.420
<v Speaker 1>seven shooting from Ant, but this is what we're going

0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:46.229
<v Speaker 1>to see. And we didn't even get much from some

0:06:46.260 --> 0:06:49.909
<v Speaker 1>other guys on the team. And then, of course, Beranger was,

0:06:50.390 --> 0:06:52.190
<v Speaker 1>what did he have? He had like, I think in

0:06:52.190 --> 0:06:54.729
<v Speaker 1>15 minutes, he had 41 points and 21 rebounds.

0:06:54.750 --> 0:06:56.570
<v Speaker 8>I mean, that's what it seemed like in the description.

0:06:56.589 --> 0:06:57.670
<v Speaker 8>It wasn't quite that much.

0:06:58.950 --> 0:07:02.360
<v Speaker 1>But it already, we're like one game into pre, we're

0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:07.529
<v Speaker 1>already a well-oiled machine. Could the playoffs start now? right

0:07:07.570 --> 0:07:09.990
<v Speaker 1>away because we're we're primed for the playoffs and of

0:07:10.030 --> 0:07:12.750
<v Speaker 1>course if you ask ant the team would probably want

0:07:12.770 --> 0:07:14.610
<v Speaker 1>to just start the playoffs right away because if you

0:07:14.650 --> 0:07:16.490
<v Speaker 1>remember when they got off to the slow start last

0:07:16.550 --> 0:07:18.910
<v Speaker 1>year he said something to the effect of it just

0:07:18.930 --> 0:07:20.950
<v Speaker 1>doesn't seem like we really want to play these regular

0:07:20.990 --> 0:07:23.300
<v Speaker 1>season games now what you want to hear is an

0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.940
<v Speaker 1>owner a coach general manager or a fan base and

0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:29.280
<v Speaker 1>we're really not interested in playing these games and it

0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:31.920
<v Speaker 1>sure showed but anyway so they got off to a

0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.180
<v Speaker 1>good start and hopefully we'll continue we need to stay

0:07:34.340 --> 0:07:40.310
<v Speaker 1>uh lamello um We need him to stay healthy. And

0:07:40.350 --> 0:07:43.150
<v Speaker 1>if he does, maybe the sky is the limit. I

0:07:43.170 --> 0:07:46.450
<v Speaker 1>think I read somewhere where Ant wasn't as tuckered because

0:07:46.690 --> 0:07:50.770
<v Speaker 1>he didn't have to do everything. It's the first preseason.

0:07:50.970 --> 0:07:56.750
<v Speaker 1>I hope he's not tuckered. And they're not even trying.

0:07:56.770 --> 0:07:59.350
<v Speaker 1>They barely tried during the regular season. What would lead

0:07:59.370 --> 0:08:01.550
<v Speaker 1>you to believe they're going all out like it's game

0:08:01.630 --> 0:08:05.400
<v Speaker 1>seven of the Western Conference Finals, which we really weren't

0:08:05.420 --> 0:08:07.820
<v Speaker 1>that far away from getting to the NBA Finals for

0:08:07.860 --> 0:08:10.730
<v Speaker 1>two years. We just, instead of losing four games to

0:08:10.830 --> 0:08:13.390
<v Speaker 1>one in a gentleman's, we needed to win. We needed

0:08:13.410 --> 0:08:14.190
<v Speaker 1>to win four games.

0:08:14.210 --> 0:08:15.550
<v Speaker 6>We played like 20 guys last night.

0:08:15.670 --> 0:08:20.080
<v Speaker 1>I know, but we're supposed to. And again, I guess

0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:23.120
<v Speaker 1>it's better than to have Lomelo turn the ball over

0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:25.700
<v Speaker 1>half a dozen times and Ant miss all of his shots.

0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:29.020
<v Speaker 6>Well, Ant wasn't very efficient last night.

0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:30.220
<v Speaker 1>No, he wasn't.

0:08:30.780 --> 0:08:32.800
<v Speaker 6>Four of 13, he was one of seven from three.

0:08:33.050 --> 0:08:34.390
<v Speaker 6>Something like one of seven.

0:08:34.710 --> 0:08:34.850
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:43.250
<v Speaker 1>There's a text right away. You don't put enough on

0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:47.190
<v Speaker 1>the eye test. Baron Jay looks like he belongs. What

0:08:47.210 --> 0:08:49.250
<v Speaker 1>are the box score? That's great, but he looks like

0:08:49.309 --> 0:08:52.730
<v Speaker 1>he belongs. He's an NBA player, which is outstanding to

0:08:52.750 --> 0:08:55.550
<v Speaker 1>confirm because not all of those project players work out.

0:08:55.929 --> 0:08:59.010
<v Speaker 1>He's convinced he's already ready to go. Now, you got

0:08:59.030 --> 0:09:03.089
<v Speaker 1>to remember, he's playing against other guys that are projects

0:09:03.150 --> 0:09:13.079
<v Speaker 1>and prospects. It wasn't like face Joel Embiid, Face Wemby.

0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:14.440
<v Speaker 6>Shaq.

0:09:14.700 --> 0:09:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Shaq.

0:09:16.100 --> 0:09:18.680
<v Speaker 8>Then get back to me. And I look, I like

0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:19.040
<v Speaker 8>Baron Jay.

0:09:19.059 --> 0:09:20.900
<v Speaker 1>As a matter of fact, if anybody was a Baron

0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Jay fan, Baron, mostly because I, what do you think

0:09:23.220 --> 0:09:26.250
<v Speaker 1>I like better, watching Baron Jay play or saying Baron Jay?

0:09:27.020 --> 0:09:28.429
<v Speaker 8>I just like saying Baron Jay.

0:09:28.890 --> 0:09:32.270
<v Speaker 1>But I was on a, I mean, I wanted them

0:09:32.309 --> 0:09:36.090
<v Speaker 1>to play him more. I think a lot of these

0:09:36.190 --> 0:09:40.189
<v Speaker 1>coaches tend to spoon feed these kids like they're little babies.

0:09:40.330 --> 0:09:43.860
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's still young. He's crawling. Don't give him

0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:46.220
<v Speaker 1>too much. Give him some pablum. It's like, no, throw

0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.800
<v Speaker 1>him in the game. Let him play. Especially, you know,

0:09:49.100 --> 0:09:53.179
<v Speaker 1>I think I talked about this last year. In a

0:09:53.210 --> 0:09:55.250
<v Speaker 1>football game, you only got 17 games, right? So if

0:09:55.290 --> 0:09:56.650
<v Speaker 1>you put a young guy in and let him make

0:09:56.690 --> 0:09:58.790
<v Speaker 1>two or three mistakes, those two or three mistakes can

0:09:58.830 --> 0:09:59.650
<v Speaker 1>cost you the game.

0:10:00.059 --> 0:10:02.600
<v Speaker 8>Right if you put baron jay in.

0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:05.500
<v Speaker 1>Last year you know two minutes into the second quarter

0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:09.290
<v Speaker 1>to spell gobert and he turns the ball over once

0:10:09.390 --> 0:10:11.330
<v Speaker 1>and then you know throws up a brick or two

0:10:11.890 --> 0:10:13.949
<v Speaker 1>well then you bring about that that's not gonna that

0:10:14.210 --> 0:10:16.229
<v Speaker 1>that's not going to affect the entire game at least

0:10:16.270 --> 0:10:19.150
<v Speaker 1>it shouldn't So then you pull them off and say, kid,

0:10:19.170 --> 0:10:20.030
<v Speaker 1>you got a lot to learn.

0:10:21.220 --> 0:10:25.120
<v Speaker 8>So, but maybe, and I hope so. I mean, I

0:10:25.179 --> 0:10:25.940
<v Speaker 8>will say this.

0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:34.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm more, and so much as I'm trusting the people

0:10:34.220 --> 0:10:37.780
<v Speaker 1>that tell me Lomelo Ball is a special talent. I've

0:10:37.820 --> 0:10:40.070
<v Speaker 1>always considered him a clown show. And it's because I'm

0:10:40.110 --> 0:10:42.130
<v Speaker 1>not paying as close attention to the NBA as I

0:10:42.250 --> 0:10:45.950
<v Speaker 1>once did. But the whole, the Ball family, the dad's

0:10:45.990 --> 0:10:47.750
<v Speaker 1>the worst, right? He's kind of off his rocker a

0:10:47.790 --> 0:10:51.109
<v Speaker 1>little bit. And Ball never stays healthy. And another one

0:10:51.130 --> 0:10:53.430
<v Speaker 1>of those guys, the Ball gets sticky.

0:10:52.890 --> 0:10:53.750
<v Speaker 8>And blah, blah, blah.

0:10:54.370 --> 0:10:58.710
<v Speaker 1>But if he commits to being serious about basketball, if

0:10:58.870 --> 0:11:01.150
<v Speaker 1>Ant commits to being serious about basketball and wants to

0:11:01.170 --> 0:11:03.370
<v Speaker 1>play those regular season, I like the look of the team.

0:11:03.929 --> 0:11:06.980
<v Speaker 1>I don't mind the bada-binga, the kaminga move either. You know, again,

0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:09.360
<v Speaker 1>he's a little smaller for a power forward, but he's

0:11:09.390 --> 0:11:15.140
<v Speaker 1>got something to prove. I mean... He must like what

0:11:15.220 --> 0:11:20.300
<v Speaker 1>he saw here because he could have stayed in the

0:11:20.350 --> 0:11:23.569
<v Speaker 1>City of Angels for a lot more money. He took

0:11:23.630 --> 0:11:27.010
<v Speaker 1>less money than he could have received. I think Gobert

0:11:27.070 --> 0:11:34.240
<v Speaker 1>still has something left. We know Jaden's a good player,

0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:42.120
<v Speaker 1>especially defensively. We like Dusamuso. um are we yeah and

0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:46.020
<v Speaker 1>are we getting um i like naz reed how can

0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:49.810
<v Speaker 1>you not like oh wait we don't have and.

0:11:49.770 --> 0:11:51.750
<v Speaker 8>Then julius oh wait we don't have him but that's

0:11:51.770 --> 0:11:52.190
<v Speaker 8>probably good.

0:11:52.450 --> 0:12:00.790
<v Speaker 1>And then we should get di vincenzo backs eventually right uh.

0:11:58.570 --> 0:12:00.790
<v Speaker 7>But it'll be a while probably a long while long

0:12:00.830 --> 0:12:02.690
<v Speaker 7>while When you get him back, I don't know what

0:12:02.710 --> 0:12:03.450
<v Speaker 7>you're going to have out of him.

0:12:03.490 --> 0:12:05.709
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Well, I would think he hasn't forgotten how to play.

0:12:05.750 --> 0:12:07.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it might take him a little bit, but

0:12:07.390 --> 0:12:10.220
<v Speaker 1>you know me. I've always been playing your whole life.

0:12:10.260 --> 0:12:10.850
<v Speaker 1>It's not like he's not.

0:12:10.860 --> 0:12:11.920
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it's just the injury he's coming off.

0:12:11.940 --> 0:12:12.180
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:12.860
<v Speaker 6>That's a bad one.

0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:14.780
<v Speaker 1>What I'm saying, if he comes back and he's healthy

0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:17.380
<v Speaker 1>and ready to go, he should be able to control.

0:12:17.420 --> 0:12:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Let's say he gets ready for the last month of

0:12:19.540 --> 0:12:22.460
<v Speaker 1>the season or by postseason. Well, then hopefully it won't

0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:24.110
<v Speaker 1>take them too long to figure out how to knock

0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:27.750
<v Speaker 1>down a three again. So, yeah, I guess I'm more

0:12:27.830 --> 0:12:30.390
<v Speaker 1>optimistic about this year's team than I was the last couple.

0:12:30.730 --> 0:12:32.489
<v Speaker 1>And there was a reason to be optimistic the last

0:12:32.530 --> 0:12:35.510
<v Speaker 1>few years, right? Last year, no, we didn't get out

0:12:35.550 --> 0:12:36.930
<v Speaker 1>of the division.

0:12:37.190 --> 0:12:38.490
<v Speaker 8>Did we get out of the first round and lost

0:12:38.550 --> 0:12:40.069
<v Speaker 8>in the second? Yeah, we beat Denver again.

0:12:40.130 --> 0:12:40.250
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:12:40.270 --> 0:12:41.170
<v Speaker 8>And then we got drilled.

0:12:41.190 --> 0:12:41.809
<v Speaker 6>Lost to San Antonio.

0:12:41.850 --> 0:12:44.670
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, got just drilled. But the two previous seasons, we

0:12:44.690 --> 0:12:47.650
<v Speaker 1>got to the Western Conference Finals, so. I, I, I am,

0:12:47.950 --> 0:12:50.510
<v Speaker 1>I will call myself cautiously optimistic and I'm, but I'm also,

0:12:50.910 --> 0:12:53.660
<v Speaker 1>I feel better about this team, uh, than some of

0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:55.760
<v Speaker 1>the others. And, you know, I guess I'm buying into

0:12:55.780 --> 0:12:58.319
<v Speaker 1>a little bit about that. It's, you know, now Anne's

0:12:58.380 --> 0:13:01.440
<v Speaker 1>ready to take on a leadership role. Okay. But I'm

0:13:01.540 --> 0:13:10.050
<v Speaker 1>not convinced of that yet, but, um, uh, maybe that's where, um, um,

0:13:11.860 --> 0:13:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Maybe that's what, maybe that's what.

0:13:14.220 --> 0:13:16.740
<v Speaker 8>I think what we might start calling Baron O'Shea is.

0:13:19.220 --> 0:13:20.660
<v Speaker 1>Monsignor Stroke.

0:13:21.179 --> 0:13:22.950
<v Speaker 8>You know what he had? What did we used to

0:13:22.970 --> 0:13:25.250
<v Speaker 8>call Baron Garrett?

0:13:25.429 --> 0:13:25.970
<v Speaker 6>Senior Smoke?

0:13:25.990 --> 0:13:31.250
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Senior Smoke. We will call Baron O'Shea Monsignor Stroke.

0:13:31.270 --> 0:13:31.610
<v Speaker 3>Brilliant!

0:13:32.490 --> 0:13:34.949
<v Speaker 1>Why not? We'll take a break. By the way, there's

0:13:34.970 --> 0:13:37.109
<v Speaker 1>a long rambling dissertation about the wolves brought to you

0:13:37.130 --> 0:13:40.470
<v Speaker 1>by our friends at Willow River Company. Willow River Company

0:13:40.490 --> 0:13:43.350
<v Speaker 1>right now, they're, hey, you got an irrigation system, you

0:13:43.370 --> 0:13:45.310
<v Speaker 1>need it blown out, they'll do that for you. They

0:13:45.350 --> 0:13:48.640
<v Speaker 1>do a great job. They've got a machine that does,

0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:50.640
<v Speaker 1>and they're not going to put their lips around the

0:13:50.700 --> 0:13:52.079
<v Speaker 1>pipe or anything like that, but they'll get rid of

0:13:52.100 --> 0:13:52.400
<v Speaker 1>the water.

0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:54.600
<v Speaker 8>They do snow removal for you, too.

0:13:55.059 --> 0:13:58.550
<v Speaker 1>Also, they'll batten down the hatches and swab the decks

0:13:58.830 --> 0:14:02.310
<v Speaker 1>of your yard to get it ready for winter. And

0:14:02.330 --> 0:14:04.210
<v Speaker 1>they can still plant trees. And they can prune them, too,

0:14:04.230 --> 0:14:10.840

<v Speaker 7>My favorite ever.

0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Bit on the power trip was when Mesa was explaining

0:15:24.020 --> 0:15:30.020
<v Speaker 1>how he soiled himself.

0:15:30.180 --> 0:15:34.380
<v Speaker 7>I still have not heard that story. He soiled himself.

0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:35.760
<v Speaker 7>How did that happen?

0:15:35.870 --> 0:15:37.350
<v Speaker 1>He was sitting there and he just soiled himself.

0:15:37.370 --> 0:15:37.870
<v Speaker 6>It just happened?

0:15:37.890 --> 0:15:38.510
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it just happened.

0:15:38.850 --> 0:15:43.590
<v Speaker 6>Okay. And then he decided to go on the air

0:15:43.630 --> 0:15:44.170
<v Speaker 6>and share that.

0:15:44.330 --> 0:15:44.570
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:15:44.590 --> 0:15:47.910

0:15:48.650 --> 0:15:51.330

0:15:51.390 --> 0:15:55.690
<v Speaker 1>an open book. Nonetheless, um, because the purple brought to

0:16:46.550 --> 0:16:49.910
<v Speaker 1>the Saints, I don't even know if they went marching

0:16:49.970 --> 0:16:50.550
<v Speaker 1>in last night.

0:16:50.970 --> 0:16:53.330
<v Speaker 6>No. Their fans went marching to the exits.

0:16:53.390 --> 0:16:55.170
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, so much for.

0:16:57.210 --> 0:17:01.430
<v Speaker 1>repercussions from Katrina. They were kind of the anniversary of

0:17:01.490 --> 0:17:06.320
<v Speaker 1>that awful hurricane that wreaked all sorts of havoc in

0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:09.080
<v Speaker 1>New Orleans. And it was kind of like a moment

0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:11.179
<v Speaker 1>to reflect and tip your cap and was supposed to

0:17:11.220 --> 0:17:13.119
<v Speaker 1>fire up the Saints. I think the Falcons got the

0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:16.119
<v Speaker 1>message more. I watched some of it. I turned it

0:17:16.180 --> 0:17:18.889
<v Speaker 1>off when it was 24-7. The writing was on the wall. And,

0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:21.929
<v Speaker 1>you know, after the Saints almost came back in the

0:17:22.130 --> 0:17:25.939
<v Speaker 1>season opener against the Kitties at Pontiac, I thought, well,

0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:27.380
<v Speaker 1>maybe the Saints are for real. Because didn't the Saints

0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:28.800
<v Speaker 1>play a pretty good second game?

0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:29.380
<v Speaker 6>Yes, they did.

0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:32.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they won, right? So I was like, maybe the

0:17:32.220 --> 0:17:34.570
<v Speaker 1>Saints team is better than people thought they were. Maybe

0:17:34.609 --> 0:17:36.909
<v Speaker 1>that week five matchup for the Vikings will be a

0:17:36.930 --> 0:17:38.030
<v Speaker 1>little bit more difficult.

0:17:38.490 --> 0:17:41.129
<v Speaker 8>And again, in the National Football League, anything can happen.

0:17:41.190 --> 0:17:44.470
<v Speaker 1>With our offense sputtering like it is, or has been

0:17:44.510 --> 0:17:45.170
<v Speaker 1>until maybe that.

0:17:45.609 --> 0:17:47.100
<v Speaker 6>The New Orleans won a Baltimore week, too.

0:17:47.170 --> 0:17:51.860
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, right. So they beat a quality opponent. So we

0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:55.260
<v Speaker 1>started thinking, well, maybe this team... It's better, but now

0:17:55.340 --> 0:17:58.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't know unless maybe the Falcons are better than

0:17:58.180 --> 0:18:00.080
<v Speaker 1>we thought. Or Falcons, as I like to call them.

0:18:00.100 --> 0:18:00.619
<v Speaker 1>But anyway.

0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:02.440
<v Speaker 6>Well, the Falcons should give you hope if you're a

0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:03.180
<v Speaker 6>Vikings fan.

0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:18:04.060 --> 0:18:06.659
<v Speaker 7>Because the first two weeks of the Falcons season... Now,

0:18:06.700 --> 0:18:08.360
<v Speaker 7>I know they didn't have Michael Penickson. They had their

0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:12.060
<v Speaker 7>backup quarterbacks. But they were one of the most atrocious

0:18:12.180 --> 0:18:13.920
<v Speaker 7>offenses in the history of the NFL for two weeks.

0:18:14.740 --> 0:18:16.640
<v Speaker 7>And now, all of a sudden, win at Green Bay...

0:18:17.420 --> 0:18:19.570
<v Speaker 7>and they're just marching down the field, and they're doing it,

0:18:19.570 --> 0:18:21.460
<v Speaker 7>and put up big points last night in New Orleans.

0:18:21.830 --> 0:18:22.070
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:18:22.310 --> 0:18:23.750
<v Speaker 6>So there's still hope for us here.

0:18:23.869 --> 0:18:28.650
<v Speaker 1>Maybe there's still hope for us. But I would think again,

0:18:28.910 --> 0:18:31.129
<v Speaker 1>you know, we talked about this yesterday, Tennebee, and it's

0:18:31.150 --> 0:18:35.590
<v Speaker 1>my theory, and I bounced it off one of the

0:18:35.630 --> 0:18:37.450
<v Speaker 1>sales guys, and he said, well, don't you think most

0:18:37.470 --> 0:18:39.890
<v Speaker 1>of the 32 coaches, if their offense wasn't working, they'd

0:18:39.910 --> 0:18:43.350
<v Speaker 1>be down about it? Well, yeah, of course, but I mean,

0:18:43.369 --> 0:18:48.070
<v Speaker 1>I just don't, There used to be, I mean, you know, look,

0:18:48.710 --> 0:18:51.290
<v Speaker 1>O'Connell's never been a guy that's been, he's not going

0:18:51.310 --> 0:18:54.040
<v Speaker 1>to be confused with PJ Fleck, right? But he always

0:18:54.060 --> 0:18:56.040
<v Speaker 1>seems to have a little spring and a step and

0:18:56.100 --> 0:18:59.740
<v Speaker 1>he seems to be a little, and I get it. He's, he's,

0:18:59.880 --> 0:19:02.040
<v Speaker 1>his offense isn't producing yet they're winning. So I think

0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:04.100
<v Speaker 1>it's a, it's a double-edged sword. He loves winning, but

0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:07.419
<v Speaker 1>I think it, because he's an offensive specialist and he

0:19:07.460 --> 0:19:11.310
<v Speaker 1>admitted he's, he has an image, you know, he's an

0:19:11.350 --> 0:19:13.310
<v Speaker 1>image conscious kind of a guy. That's why he admitted,

0:19:13.330 --> 0:19:16.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, after week number two, he said, I, Maybe

0:19:16.740 --> 0:19:19.220
<v Speaker 1>I've matured some. I realize it's about winning. It's not

0:19:19.260 --> 0:19:22.180
<v Speaker 1>so much about if people open up the paper and think, boy,

0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:24.919
<v Speaker 1>can this guy coach or not? But I think it's

0:19:24.940 --> 0:19:28.340
<v Speaker 1>still probably because of that. I think that offense not being–

0:19:28.510 --> 0:19:33.130
<v Speaker 1>and I don't think it's really due to poor coaching,

0:19:33.150 --> 0:19:35.510
<v Speaker 1>bad game plan. I think it does have a lot

0:19:35.530 --> 0:19:39.070
<v Speaker 1>to do with– Maybe the offensive line isn't as good

0:19:39.109 --> 0:19:41.260
<v Speaker 1>as we thought. The running game, I know that Jones

0:19:41.300 --> 0:19:45.649
<v Speaker 1>has been decent without Jefferson last week. And Murray still learning.

0:19:45.690 --> 0:19:47.970
<v Speaker 1>He missed an entire two games and Wentz was in

0:19:47.990 --> 0:19:50.820
<v Speaker 1>and we like Carson. I think everybody thinks Carson's a

0:19:50.859 --> 0:19:53.500
<v Speaker 1>good backup. I don't think anybody's going, let's, you know,

0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:57.340
<v Speaker 1>let's hitch our wagon to Carson Wentz. So we're still

0:19:58.340 --> 0:20:01.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of in a, in a period where I think

0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:03.419
<v Speaker 1>he got to give the offense. I'm still willing to

0:20:03.460 --> 0:20:05.919
<v Speaker 1>let it gel maybe a little, or hopefully we'll gel

0:20:05.980 --> 0:20:08.470
<v Speaker 1>coming up, but It's nice that you have a team

0:20:08.510 --> 0:20:10.450
<v Speaker 1>of the Saints that's reeling right now. You got to

0:20:10.510 --> 0:20:11.929
<v Speaker 1>go there. But if you win there and you go

0:20:11.950 --> 0:20:13.850
<v Speaker 1>into the bye, then we go to the bye, right?

0:20:14.050 --> 0:20:15.129
<v Speaker 1>One more week and then we're in the bye.

0:20:15.150 --> 0:20:15.550
<v Speaker 6>Is that correct?

0:20:16.210 --> 0:20:20.119
<v Speaker 1>So then you're in the bye week and everything's ducky

0:20:20.140 --> 0:20:24.900
<v Speaker 1>and bunny at that point. The Saints, again, they scored...

0:20:24.660 --> 0:20:28.929
<v Speaker 1>14 late. They only had 10 through the third quarter.

0:20:29.270 --> 0:20:31.730
<v Speaker 1>Do we like, is it Tyler or Kyler Shuck?

0:20:31.850 --> 0:20:32.429
<v Speaker 6>It's Tyler.

0:20:32.530 --> 0:20:34.450
<v Speaker 1>Do we have two Kylers? No. I didn't think so.

0:20:34.450 --> 0:20:34.770
<v Speaker 1>Just one.

0:20:35.150 --> 0:20:37.040
<v Speaker 8>What do you make of him, Tenby?

0:20:37.060 --> 0:20:40.140
<v Speaker 6>I don't know if I've really ever watched him over

0:20:40.180 --> 0:20:40.800
<v Speaker 6>a full game.

0:20:41.300 --> 0:20:44.600
<v Speaker 7>Last year was his rookie season, and he didn't start

0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:48.340
<v Speaker 7>the season as the quarterback. He had some moments as

0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:49.960
<v Speaker 7>the season went along, but their team was so bad,

0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:51.760
<v Speaker 7>you just didn't think anything of it, right? Like, yeah,

0:20:51.840 --> 0:20:54.850
<v Speaker 7>that's great. You're putting up some yardage and garbage time.

0:20:56.820 --> 0:21:01.060
<v Speaker 7>He had a great opening two weeks. I don't know

0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:03.500
<v Speaker 7>if it's him that's fallen by. They put up plenty

0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:05.320
<v Speaker 7>of points this year, but their defense has been atrocious.

0:21:06.820 --> 0:21:07.159
<v Speaker 1>Correct.

0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:10.220
<v Speaker 7>Right now, their defense has given up the most points

0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:12.240
<v Speaker 7>in the National Football League.

0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:13.119
<v Speaker 1>Saints?

0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:13.680
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:21:13.740 --> 0:21:14.100
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:18.520
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, and the Falcons have been.

0:21:23.290 --> 0:21:24.830
<v Speaker 1>Surprisingly good. I think a lot of it has to

0:21:24.850 --> 0:21:28.990
<v Speaker 1>do with, with, uh, Bijan, right? Is it Bijan?

0:21:29.390 --> 0:21:32.020
<v Speaker 6>Well, and Brian's putting up points too.

0:21:32.070 --> 0:21:36.970
<v Speaker 1>Brian is a pretty good too. So yeah, maybe they're

0:21:36.990 --> 0:21:39.490
<v Speaker 1>a little bit better. Uh, maybe the Falcons are a

0:21:39.490 --> 0:21:42.449
<v Speaker 1>little bit better than people thought they were going to be, but, um.

0:21:43.660 --> 0:21:44.700
<v Speaker 6>Just shows you what a quarterback can do.

0:21:44.820 --> 0:21:45.310
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's it.

0:21:45.460 --> 0:21:48.040
<v Speaker 6>Because Pennix ain't even a great quarterback. Correct. But they

0:21:48.070 --> 0:21:50.070
<v Speaker 6>are night and day difference from where they were with

0:21:50.290 --> 0:21:50.869
<v Speaker 6>Cooper Rush.

0:21:50.900 --> 0:21:51.150
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:21:52.230 --> 0:21:53.570
<v Speaker 1>Game time, 12 noon, right?

0:21:53.970 --> 0:21:54.410
<v Speaker 6>It's a nooner.

0:21:54.510 --> 0:21:57.410
<v Speaker 1>It's a nooner. So coverage will begin at 10 o'clock

0:21:58.150 --> 0:22:04.510
<v Speaker 1>with the opening kickoff scheduled for 12 noon. A peek

0:22:30.869 --> 0:22:32.370
<v Speaker 1>hard listening to the power.

0:22:32.030 --> 0:22:35.270
<v Speaker 7>Trip that i soiled myself i'll be honest that's why

<v Speaker 7>i haven't gone to flop swim tears tour in a

0:22:36.630 --> 0:22:39.900
<v Speaker 7>while The one time I went, I laughed so hard,

0:22:40.359 --> 0:22:41.920
<v Speaker 7>I can't show up in public anymore.

0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:42.500
<v Speaker 6>I can't do this.

0:22:43.220 --> 0:22:44.480
<v Speaker 1>And certainly not wearing white pants.

0:22:44.619 --> 0:22:46.199
<v Speaker 6>And my knee was all bruised from all the knee

0:22:46.220 --> 0:22:47.020
<v Speaker 6>slapping I was doing.

0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:49.790
<v Speaker 1>Laugh so much, your side will ache, your heart will

0:22:49.830 --> 0:22:59.449
<v Speaker 1>go pitty pat. So anyway, someone else, getting back to

0:22:59.490 --> 0:23:09.670
<v Speaker 1>the to the the Wolves. I remember the name of

0:23:09.690 --> 0:23:10.910
<v Speaker 1>the team now. It took me a second to remember

0:23:10.930 --> 0:23:12.689
<v Speaker 1>the name of the team. It says, remember the one

0:23:12.730 --> 0:23:15.060
<v Speaker 1>guy said that Baron Jay passed the eye test. He goes,

0:23:15.440 --> 0:23:18.830
<v Speaker 1>I test. Did that texter just admit to watching an

0:23:18.940 --> 0:23:22.280
<v Speaker 1>NBA preseason game? Must be nice not to have to

0:23:22.420 --> 0:23:25.730
<v Speaker 1>watch paint dry, fold socks, wait for a boiling hot

0:23:25.750 --> 0:23:28.230
<v Speaker 1>bat of asphalt. Yeah, you know, but I get why people...

0:23:28.190 --> 0:23:30.590
<v Speaker 1>I always love that. You know, I mean, I didn't

0:23:30.970 --> 0:23:33.290
<v Speaker 1>even know the preseason started last night.

0:23:33.630 --> 0:23:34.930
<v Speaker 6>And where do you find... I don't even know if

0:23:34.970 --> 0:23:35.550
<v Speaker 6>I can watch the games.

0:23:35.570 --> 0:23:35.929
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's it.

0:23:35.930 --> 0:23:36.910
<v Speaker 6>I don't have DAZN.

0:23:37.619 --> 0:23:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that's right. It's DAZN, isn't it?

0:23:39.140 --> 0:23:44.210
<v Speaker 8>I do have DAZN. I think I told you I

0:23:44.210 --> 0:23:45.090
<v Speaker 8>got it strictly for boxing.

0:23:45.150 --> 0:23:46.590
<v Speaker 1>They used to have some pretty good fight cards. So

0:23:46.630 --> 0:23:49.190
<v Speaker 1>Deuce and I started, we, we subscribed to DAZN and

0:23:49.230 --> 0:23:51.070
<v Speaker 1>I just never canceled them. I just, they just keep them.

0:23:51.130 --> 0:23:56.300
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, um, I can see why somebody might want,

0:23:56.320 --> 0:23:58.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean, you got LaMelo Ball, you know,

0:23:58.220 --> 0:24:00.139
<v Speaker 1>it's like, okay, let's see how this works out.

0:24:00.420 --> 0:24:02.960
<v Speaker 8>But again, I can't put too much stock into it either.

0:24:03.380 --> 0:24:03.620
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:24:04.560 --> 0:24:13.109
<v Speaker 1>Um, and this one says, um, Common, I love you.

0:24:13.590 --> 0:24:15.910
<v Speaker 1>One game and some sports writer already has the Wolves

0:24:16.330 --> 0:24:19.100
<v Speaker 1>figured out. It's one game. Pump the brakes a little bit.

0:24:19.140 --> 0:24:21.280
<v Speaker 1>Signed by Ricky Rubio guy.

0:24:22.460 --> 0:24:24.119
<v Speaker 7>It's not even a game. It's a preseason game where

0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:25.580
<v Speaker 7>they played like a quarter of the time.

0:24:25.600 --> 0:24:32.199
<v Speaker 1>This one says, now Lilby is going to say that

0:24:32.240 --> 0:24:34.930
<v Speaker 1>all men don't listen to her because Tennessee can't remember

0:24:34.950 --> 0:24:36.750
<v Speaker 1>what they talked about. Think about it. You weren't even

0:24:36.790 --> 0:24:38.989
<v Speaker 1>listening to her. You're just making a bad name for

0:24:39.030 --> 0:24:39.609
<v Speaker 1>men everywhere.

0:24:41.260 --> 0:24:42.540
<v Speaker 6>I'm probably the one who came up with the topic,

0:24:42.580 --> 0:24:44.000
<v Speaker 6>so it's even worse.

0:24:44.220 --> 0:24:47.139
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, think about that. We'll take a break. We'll come back.

0:24:47.260 --> 0:24:50.640
<v Speaker 1>We'll tap dance a bit. And then, Rosen, just before two,

0:24:51.320 --> 0:24:59.980

0:25:00.970 --> 0:25:02.190

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, same. He's so awesome. Yeah.

0:25:04.550 --> 0:25:06.030

<v Speaker 1>And if you remember last week, Tenneby, I asked him,

0:25:41.740 --> 0:25:43.830
<v Speaker 1>I basically said, look, let's just face it, you're an

0:25:43.869 --> 0:25:45.910
<v Speaker 1>NBA guy, not an NHL guy. And of course, he

0:25:46.070 --> 0:25:50.230
<v Speaker 1>denied that. He says he loves the NHL. And I said, well,

0:25:50.830 --> 0:25:53.010
<v Speaker 1>if you have a choice to watch the Wolves or

0:25:53.030 --> 0:25:53.890
<v Speaker 1>the Wilds, you'll take the Wolves.

0:25:53.970 --> 0:25:55.389
<v Speaker 8>And not necessarily, he said, it all depends on what

0:25:55.410 --> 0:25:55.950
<v Speaker 8>time of year it is.

0:25:56.520 --> 0:25:58.080
<v Speaker 1>And then you chimed in and said, well, they both

0:25:58.140 --> 0:26:00.219
<v Speaker 1>play at the same time. And he goes, but I mean,

0:26:01.680 --> 0:26:03.580
<v Speaker 1>which team is playing better than the other? Well, right

0:26:03.619 --> 0:26:05.940
<v Speaker 1>now the Wolves or the Wild are playing well. But Tenneby,

0:26:07.200 --> 0:26:09.780
<v Speaker 1>if reading is believing, he's going to be paying attention

0:26:09.800 --> 0:26:10.480
<v Speaker 1>to this Wolves club.

0:26:10.510 --> 0:26:12.720
<v Speaker 8>Because Johnny Krasinski.

0:26:12.150 --> 0:26:13.850
<v Speaker 1>Is very excited as well. He writes his.

0:26:13.790 --> 0:26:17.310
<v Speaker 8>Analysis, LaMelo Ball era. It's an era already.

0:26:17.330 --> 0:26:19.510
<v Speaker 6>It's like Taylor Swift.

0:26:20.730 --> 0:26:21.750
<v Speaker 1>The LaMelo Ball era.

0:26:21.770 --> 0:26:22.270
<v Speaker 6>The era tour.

0:26:22.290 --> 0:26:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's it.

0:26:23.050 --> 0:26:25.090
<v Speaker 8>It's already an era. It's not even like, you know,

0:26:25.109 --> 0:26:25.619
<v Speaker 8>an era.

0:26:26.660 --> 0:26:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Can you look up the word era for me and

0:26:28.600 --> 0:26:31.500
<v Speaker 1>see if there's like, I don't think there's necessarily like

0:26:31.540 --> 0:26:36.240
<v Speaker 1>a certain amount of seconds, minutes, days, weeks, months, or

0:26:36.320 --> 0:26:42.949
<v Speaker 1>years that qualify something as an era. But usually I

0:26:42.990 --> 0:26:44.330
<v Speaker 1>think when I think of an era, I think of

0:26:44.369 --> 0:26:45.830
<v Speaker 1>something that lasts a long, long time.

0:26:45.910 --> 0:26:48.510
<v Speaker 7>It's a fixed point in time from which a series

0:26:48.550 --> 0:26:49.729
<v Speaker 7>of years is reckoned.

0:26:50.990 --> 0:26:52.670
<v Speaker 1>Series of years. The era.

0:26:52.690 --> 0:26:55.820
<v Speaker 7>A memorable or important date or event, or a system

0:26:55.859 --> 0:26:59.580
<v Speaker 7>of chronological notation computed from a given date as basis.

0:26:59.780 --> 0:27:00.800
<v Speaker 8>What was that second one you read?

0:27:01.480 --> 0:27:01.859
<v Speaker 6>Which one now?

0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:03.140
<v Speaker 1>The second definition.

0:27:03.580 --> 0:27:05.080
<v Speaker 6>A memorable or important date or event?

0:27:05.580 --> 0:27:07.899
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, we had one important date. Yeah, we had

0:27:08.000 --> 0:27:09.590
<v Speaker 1>one game, so that's an important date.

0:27:09.720 --> 0:27:12.350
<v Speaker 7>Or we also have a period identified by some prominent

0:27:12.470 --> 0:27:13.970
<v Speaker 7>figure or characteristic feature.

0:27:14.390 --> 0:27:14.510
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:27:16.260 --> 0:27:19.400
<v Speaker 1>The era begins with promising Timberwolves preseason when in room

0:27:19.440 --> 0:27:24.199
<v Speaker 1>for growth, we're just scratching the surface. There's room for growth.

0:27:27.060 --> 0:27:30.330
<v Speaker 1>Dateline Milawake, Lomelo Ball stood outside the Minnesota Timberwolves locker

0:27:30.350 --> 0:27:34.109
<v Speaker 1>room wearing his bright pink sweatpants and giant sparkling chains

0:27:34.150 --> 0:27:34.830
<v Speaker 1>around his necks.

0:27:35.250 --> 0:27:38.350
<v Speaker 8>You got to show people you got money, right? And

0:27:38.369 --> 0:27:39.250
<v Speaker 8>that you have.

0:27:42.630 --> 0:27:42.970
<v Speaker 1>Bling.

0:27:43.480 --> 0:27:44.820
<v Speaker 8>Do the kids call it that? Do they still call

0:27:44.840 --> 0:27:45.060
<v Speaker 8>it that?

0:27:47.150 --> 0:27:54.260
<v Speaker 1>I'd have blink. It's like JJ wears, I bet he's

0:27:54.300 --> 0:27:57.340
<v Speaker 1>got $ 5 million worth of diamonds hanging around his neck

0:27:57.359 --> 0:28:00.620
<v Speaker 1>during a football game. Isn't he worried that like, He'll

0:28:00.640 --> 0:28:02.959
<v Speaker 1>get tackled and somebody will grab it and the diamond

0:28:03.000 --> 0:28:03.600
<v Speaker 1>chain breaks.

0:28:03.680 --> 0:28:04.879
<v Speaker 6>I've never understood why they do it.

0:28:04.980 --> 0:28:07.760
<v Speaker 1>That diamonds will scatter all over that. And you can't

0:28:07.840 --> 0:28:11.320
<v Speaker 1>stop that. You can define a contact lens. They're not

0:28:11.340 --> 0:28:13.320
<v Speaker 1>going to allow the game to be stopped so he

0:28:13.340 --> 0:28:15.879
<v Speaker 1>can root through the grass and pick out every diamond.

0:28:15.900 --> 0:28:18.270
<v Speaker 1>Of course, if you've got $ 5 million worth of diamonds,

0:28:18.900 --> 0:28:20.650
<v Speaker 1>I just write it off as a loss. I'll just

0:28:20.690 --> 0:28:25.109
<v Speaker 1>buy 5 million more after the game. Right? Money for

0:28:25.170 --> 0:28:31.010
<v Speaker 1>nothing and your chicks for free. Um, Various sub-headlines are

0:28:32.090 --> 0:28:42.590
<v Speaker 1>Edwards working through it. McDaniels impresses. Oh, negativity. Rebounding woes.

0:28:44.690 --> 0:28:46.550
<v Speaker 1>One of the biggest questions surrounding the Wolves heading into

0:28:46.570 --> 0:28:47.510
<v Speaker 1>this season centers.

0:28:47.290 --> 0:28:49.210
<v Speaker 8>On their ability to hold their own on the glass.

0:28:49.830 --> 0:28:50.870
<v Speaker 8>They weren't a great.

0:28:50.730 --> 0:28:55.990
<v Speaker 1>Rebounding team last season, ranking 19th in defensive rebound percentage.

0:28:56.710 --> 0:28:59.630
<v Speaker 1>The early returns were not promising. During the portion of

0:28:59.650 --> 0:29:02.120
<v Speaker 1>the game when Finch used a regular rotation, the Wolves

0:29:02.150 --> 0:29:05.520
<v Speaker 1>got hit hard on the offensive glass, particularly when Gobert

0:29:05.540 --> 0:29:09.460
<v Speaker 1>was on the bench. Miliwake grabbed nine offensive rebounds in

0:29:09.480 --> 0:29:12.140
<v Speaker 1>the first half, scoring 15 of its 48 points off

0:29:12.160 --> 0:29:17.000
<v Speaker 1>the second. Badabinga Kaminga said, we all got to watch film,

0:29:17.040 --> 0:29:19.040
<v Speaker 1>work on it, and practice so we can be a

0:29:20.380 --> 0:29:23.420
<v Speaker 1>good rebounding team and not just leave Rudy by himself

0:29:23.500 --> 0:29:26.630
<v Speaker 1>on the boards. We all collectively have to get to it.

0:29:26.650 --> 0:29:28.459
<v Speaker 1>It's something we've been talking about. We've got to get

0:29:28.500 --> 0:29:31.500
<v Speaker 1>better at it. Actions speak louder than what they've been

0:29:31.520 --> 0:29:37.110
<v Speaker 1>talking about it. Well, we probably should rebound better. That's

0:29:37.130 --> 0:29:37.690
<v Speaker 1>what I'm afraid.

0:29:37.970 --> 0:29:39.950
<v Speaker 8>I'm sorry I'm so negative with the wolves already.

0:29:40.010 --> 0:29:41.930
<v Speaker 1>I've just seen it for too many years now, even

0:29:41.950 --> 0:29:44.320
<v Speaker 1>when we have a good team where the things I

0:29:44.420 --> 0:29:48.820
<v Speaker 1>hear out of the locker room and the press conferences

0:29:48.880 --> 0:29:53.360
<v Speaker 1>just get me where I start. Drip is the new bling, Tenevius.

0:29:53.400 --> 0:29:55.650
<v Speaker 1>Now bling is drip. That's what I'm being told.

0:29:55.670 --> 0:29:56.470
<v Speaker 6>That's why you're a drip brother.

0:29:56.610 --> 0:29:59.610
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, drip. Drip is the new bling. Bling is now

0:29:59.670 --> 0:30:11.340
<v Speaker 1>called drip. It's not that Blandon doesn't remember what Lilby

0:30:11.380 --> 0:30:13.560
<v Speaker 1>talked about. I'm guessing he couldn't hear a word with

0:30:13.600 --> 0:30:18.090
<v Speaker 1>her having to shout down from her high horse. Got

0:30:18.110 --> 0:30:18.550
<v Speaker 1>to be careful.

0:30:18.570 --> 0:30:19.770
<v Speaker 6>I almost soiled myself there.

0:30:21.490 --> 0:30:23.730
<v Speaker 1>Cause you know, if you laugh too hard, you'll soil yourself.

0:30:23.810 --> 0:30:25.810
<v Speaker 1>That's what meat sauce claims. He soiled himself.

0:30:26.590 --> 0:30:29.390
<v Speaker 6>Um, well, he's not gonna be in this Friday.

0:30:29.510 --> 0:30:33.310
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I know. I saw that. Um, and then I

0:30:33.370 --> 0:30:35.310
<v Speaker 1>did see one other story and this is, uh, from

0:30:35.350 --> 0:30:39.050
<v Speaker 1>yesterday as well. It's a Johnny Krasinski. It says, DeVincenzo

0:30:39.070 --> 0:30:40.930
<v Speaker 1>hopes his long road back to the wolves is shorter

0:30:41.190 --> 0:30:45.490
<v Speaker 1>than some expect. Uh, let's see. I think I saw

0:30:45.510 --> 0:30:50.350
<v Speaker 1>a quote from him. He says, um, When DiVincenzo was

0:30:50.430 --> 0:30:51.930
<v Speaker 1>asked at the start of training camp if his plan

0:30:51.970 --> 0:30:54.410
<v Speaker 1>was to play this season, looking as I matched the

0:30:54.430 --> 0:30:58.030
<v Speaker 1>incredulousness of his response, I wouldn't come in here with

0:30:58.050 --> 0:31:03.900
<v Speaker 1>the mindset of I'm going to play next year. No,

0:31:04.200 --> 0:31:07.680
<v Speaker 1>the mindset is to play this year. He finished his

0:31:07.700 --> 0:31:10.240
<v Speaker 1>statement with a chuckle as if to say, how dare

0:31:10.280 --> 0:31:13.239
<v Speaker 1>you even think I won't be back. Tenneby, I think

0:31:13.260 --> 0:31:14.210
<v Speaker 1>he was talking to you too.

0:31:14.500 --> 0:31:16.330
<v Speaker 8>How dare you think he wouldn't come back?

0:31:17.870 --> 0:31:20.330
<v Speaker 1>He's coming back and i think it is important because

0:31:20.610 --> 0:31:24.450
<v Speaker 1>divincenzo for me or divincenzo i don't know we'll ask

0:31:24.520 --> 0:31:27.420
<v Speaker 1>rosen what name he wants to call him by today

0:31:28.420 --> 0:31:34.320
<v Speaker 1>um he was a better player than i thought he was.

0:31:35.700 --> 0:31:38.520
<v Speaker 7>I mean he played better last year compared to the.

0:31:38.500 --> 0:31:40.920
<v Speaker 1>First year yeah maybe maybe that's what it is um

0:31:44.490 --> 0:31:47.240
<v Speaker 1>What are the Wolves supposed to say? We did everything perfect.

0:31:47.320 --> 0:31:49.260
<v Speaker 1>We have nothing to work on. We are better than

0:31:49.320 --> 0:31:52.880
<v Speaker 1>every other team. Well, they kind of did say that. Well,

0:31:53.700 --> 0:31:55.220
<v Speaker 1>I guess, no, coming at it, so we have to

0:31:55.260 --> 0:31:58.180
<v Speaker 1>work on the rebound. I know, but it's like, rebound,

0:31:58.270 --> 0:32:01.290
<v Speaker 1>I mean, a lot of it's just effort. Of course,

0:32:01.330 --> 0:32:05.560
<v Speaker 1>we don't have a lot of size, right? I mean....

0:32:05.340 --> 0:32:05.620
<v Speaker 6>We don't.

0:32:06.370 --> 0:32:08.900
<v Speaker 8>We have Gobert at 7'2. Is he 7'2?

0:32:09.390 --> 0:32:09.950
<v Speaker 1>And then is our.

0:32:10.570 --> 0:32:11.270
<v Speaker 6>And Berger.

0:32:11.390 --> 0:32:12.830
<v Speaker 8>Oh, yeah, we have Berger, too.

0:32:12.850 --> 0:32:16.270
<v Speaker 1>And then after that, we've got... But we still don't.

0:32:16.150 --> 0:32:17.490
<v Speaker 6>Even know what we have in Berger.

0:32:17.530 --> 0:32:20.430
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, exactly. Oh, no, we do, too. He passed the

0:32:20.550 --> 0:32:30.720
<v Speaker 1>eye test, man. So... Here's one. Great. Six months of

0:32:30.780 --> 0:32:36.310
<v Speaker 1>comment obliterating the wolves every day. Well... Not every day.

0:32:36.330 --> 0:32:39.970
<v Speaker 1>Maybe three or four days out of the week. There'll

0:32:39.990 --> 0:32:42.330
<v Speaker 1>be days we won't talk about them. Like if they

0:32:42.350 --> 0:32:44.290
<v Speaker 1>have an off game, we won't. Or an off day,

0:32:44.330 --> 0:32:54.080
<v Speaker 1>we won't. This one says, Common, you're looking at it

0:32:54.120 --> 0:32:56.580
<v Speaker 1>all wrong. Just think how good Shaq and Charles will

0:32:56.600 --> 0:33:00.960
<v Speaker 1>be when Melo and Ant fall apart in the playoffs. Well,

0:33:01.000 --> 0:33:04.030
<v Speaker 1>that is true. It is fun to listen to....

0:33:07.810 --> 0:33:11.510
<v Speaker 8>There's the famous one of Shaq. I think it was

0:33:11.570 --> 0:33:12.330
<v Speaker 8>LaMelo Ball.

0:33:12.630 --> 0:33:18.270
<v Speaker 1>And he said, LaMelo Ball had a triple single. And

0:33:18.350 --> 0:33:25.700
<v Speaker 1>Shaq couldn't stop laughing. And then he said, then Shaq

0:33:25.720 --> 0:33:28.820
<v Speaker 1>went on to say, well, he didn't play. He said,

0:33:29.780 --> 0:33:34.040
<v Speaker 1>he only had two more points than I did. So, yeah,

0:33:34.080 --> 0:33:36.870
<v Speaker 1>they do have fun at the players' expenses. They pull

0:33:36.890 --> 0:33:39.880
<v Speaker 1>no punches. And that's why I think people enjoy that show.

0:33:40.060 --> 0:33:42.300
<v Speaker 1>I've said this before. I'd rather listen to the three,

0:33:42.320 --> 0:33:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Kenny the Jet, Shaq, and Chuck, and then Ernie talk

0:33:46.040 --> 0:33:48.700
<v Speaker 1>basketball than I'd rather watch basketball. That's how good I

0:33:48.740 --> 0:33:57.710
<v Speaker 1>think that show is. So we will. Someone says Jets

0:33:57.750 --> 0:34:01.290
<v Speaker 1>has his chains insured. I bet he does. Who wouldn't?

0:34:01.350 --> 0:34:03.340
<v Speaker 1>Anything of that magnitude, that price.

0:34:03.380 --> 0:34:03.460
<v Speaker 3>Hmm.

0:34:07.850 --> 0:34:11.069
<v Speaker 7>But even if, take away the having it get ripped

0:34:11.210 --> 0:34:14.029
<v Speaker 7>off and worried about losing it all, even just from

0:34:14.070 --> 0:34:16.489
<v Speaker 7>a comfort level, having it bounce up and down while

0:34:16.510 --> 0:34:18.830
<v Speaker 7>you're running, I think that would be annoying and distracting.

0:34:19.830 --> 0:34:22.150
<v Speaker 7>Would that be more annoying? If someone reached it, it

0:34:22.170 --> 0:34:24.050
<v Speaker 7>would hurt your neck, right?

0:34:24.930 --> 0:34:26.410
<v Speaker 1>Do you think that would be more annoying and would

0:34:26.430 --> 0:34:28.830
<v Speaker 1>hurt you more than a scoop of ice cream at

0:34:28.950 --> 0:34:33.319
<v Speaker 1>noon with old man hockey at 10? Maybe he doesn't

0:34:33.360 --> 0:34:34.620
<v Speaker 1>have those problems that you have.

0:34:34.680 --> 0:34:37.010
<v Speaker 6>I don't think he's eating the scuba ice cream.

0:34:37.190 --> 0:34:38.989
<v Speaker 1>No, but what I'm saying is that I don't think

0:34:39.030 --> 0:34:42.149
<v Speaker 1>that bothers him. It would be that the ice cream

0:34:42.170 --> 0:34:46.009
<v Speaker 1>bothers you. The ice hanging from his neck doesn't bother him.

0:34:46.130 --> 0:34:46.890
<v Speaker 6>Different types of ice.

0:34:46.930 --> 0:34:50.230
<v Speaker 1>It just doesn't bother him. Well, that's like even the

0:34:50.290 --> 0:34:52.910
<v Speaker 1>baseball players do it too. They all wear their gold chains.

0:34:54.010 --> 0:34:59.580
<v Speaker 1>And I know, you know, it's, that's the, you remember when, when,

0:35:00.100 --> 0:35:07.540
<v Speaker 1>was it Odell who did the, Save, spend, use, invest, flaunt.

0:35:07.860 --> 0:35:12.710
<v Speaker 1>That's the flaunt part of your money. Because if you flaunt,

0:35:12.969 --> 0:35:16.510
<v Speaker 1>the only time you can flaunt it nationwide is during

0:35:16.570 --> 0:35:19.270
<v Speaker 1>a game. You have to wear it. If you don't

0:35:19.310 --> 0:35:22.069
<v Speaker 1>wear it, no one sees it. Except like when, you know,

0:35:22.090 --> 0:35:24.560
<v Speaker 1>the guys in the locker room see it. If you

0:35:24.600 --> 0:35:28.290
<v Speaker 1>go out clubbing, they'll see it. Your teammates was, but

0:35:28.330 --> 0:35:31.730
<v Speaker 1>that's it. So you have to wear your drip during

0:35:31.770 --> 0:35:35.759
<v Speaker 1>the games. People go, he's got money. He's got a

0:35:35.800 --> 0:35:37.640
<v Speaker 1>lot of money because look at the drip he's wearing.

0:35:37.660 --> 0:35:39.960
<v Speaker 1>So that's why they wear drip during the game. Baseball

0:35:40.000 --> 0:35:45.279
<v Speaker 1>players do it too. Almost every baseball player to a

0:35:45.360 --> 0:35:48.410
<v Speaker 1>man wears a big gold chain hanging around their neck.

0:35:48.610 --> 0:35:50.649
<v Speaker 1>And maybe it's for good luck too. I don't know.

0:35:51.130 --> 0:35:58.029
<v Speaker 1>I've never, I've never understood it either. Um, This one says,

0:35:59.290 --> 0:36:01.290
<v Speaker 1>if drip is the new bling, do you call the

0:36:01.330 --> 0:36:03.969
<v Speaker 1>plumber to tell me you have a bling with your faucet?

0:36:04.710 --> 0:36:12.799
<v Speaker 1>I like that. Yeah, my faucet's got a bling. Say what? Well, drip,

0:36:12.910 --> 0:36:16.540
<v Speaker 1>you know. I like that.

0:36:17.160 --> 0:36:18.520
<v Speaker 6>Can the next one then just be it's leaky?

0:36:20.340 --> 0:36:20.830
<v Speaker 1>I like that, too.

0:36:20.840 --> 0:36:21.400
<v Speaker 6>Can we move on to that?

0:36:31.320 --> 0:36:37.740
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know what that one means. Larry Mandela.

0:36:38.180 --> 0:36:40.020
<v Speaker 8>Can you tell me what Larry Mandela guy is trying

0:36:40.040 --> 0:36:40.460
<v Speaker 8>to do here?

0:36:40.920 --> 0:36:43.700
<v Speaker 1>Maybe Johnny Athletic grew up in Boston and sometimes his

0:36:43.820 --> 0:36:46.090
<v Speaker 1>accent comes back. You know, kind of like JFK and

0:36:46.120 --> 0:36:48.610
<v Speaker 1>RFK would say URA as a filler word for we

0:36:48.930 --> 0:36:53.130
<v Speaker 1>use um. URA. I don't know what that means.

0:36:53.410 --> 0:36:53.730
<v Speaker 3>Huh?

0:36:56.610 --> 0:36:57.989
<v Speaker 6>This sense of humor is too advanced for the two

0:36:58.030 --> 0:36:58.250
<v Speaker 6>of us.

0:36:59.350 --> 0:37:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, I do know this. I've never soiled myself laughing

0:37:02.280 --> 0:37:07.010
<v Speaker 1>at Leonard Mandela. That's not to say it's not funny,

0:37:07.070 --> 0:37:09.930
<v Speaker 1>but you know it's really funny if you soil yourself.

0:37:11.870 --> 0:37:16.710
<v Speaker 1>Meatsauce apparently did. He's added it to his stand-up routine. Well,

0:37:16.890 --> 0:37:19.239
<v Speaker 1>I wish you would have been there for that because

0:37:19.260 --> 0:37:20.779
<v Speaker 1>there was a woman in the front row that was

0:37:20.840 --> 0:37:23.140
<v Speaker 1>disgusted by it. And he said something like, you know,

0:37:23.180 --> 0:37:25.219
<v Speaker 1>I can't hear what she says because I'm, you know, just,

0:37:25.440 --> 0:37:27.540
<v Speaker 1>you know, on the other side of the, you know,

0:37:27.560 --> 0:37:30.399
<v Speaker 1>at the back of the room. But he goes, well,

0:37:30.540 --> 0:37:35.279
<v Speaker 1>it really happened. It's a true story. It's a true story.

0:37:35.300 --> 0:37:41.759
<v Speaker 1>I really did soil myself. Not proud of it. I

0:37:41.780 --> 0:37:48.350
<v Speaker 1>don't know what he did. Oh, you're getting ripped now.

0:37:48.950 --> 0:37:51.069
<v Speaker 1>Blandon being worried about the comfort of Jets playing with

0:37:51.090 --> 0:37:52.989
<v Speaker 1>his drip on, yet he sleeps with his keys in

0:37:53.030 --> 0:37:58.870
<v Speaker 1>his pockets. Yeah, look at a lot of people around

0:37:58.910 --> 0:38:08.700
<v Speaker 1>that one. era era oh oh i see now i

0:38:09.100 --> 0:38:11.380
<v Speaker 1>you know it's that sophisticated.

0:38:10.660 --> 0:38:13.020
<v Speaker 8>Larry mandela guy yes yeah it's very high bro yeah

0:38:13.060 --> 0:38:13.660
<v Speaker 8>because here's what.

0:38:13.580 --> 0:38:15.500
<v Speaker 1>It is trying to be one of the listeners have

0:38:15.520 --> 0:38:19.800
<v Speaker 1>to explain it to me instead of era it's era

0:38:22.010 --> 0:38:25.230
<v Speaker 1>so he was trying to make fun of johnny krasinski

0:38:25.270 --> 0:38:29.950
<v Speaker 1>saying the lamella ball era And it was like, um, or, uh,

0:38:30.030 --> 0:38:33.129
<v Speaker 1>it's still, it's not, I mean, now it's even less

0:38:33.230 --> 0:38:37.529
<v Speaker 1>funny after the explanation, right? It wasn't even funny.

0:38:37.550 --> 0:38:39.210
<v Speaker 6>If you have to explain it that much.

0:38:39.310 --> 0:38:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:38:40.930 --> 0:38:41.780
<v Speaker 6>Usually not a good sign.

0:38:44.500 --> 0:38:52.460
<v Speaker 1>Bling is jewelry. Drip is total fashion, including clothing.

0:38:53.219 --> 0:38:53.299
<v Speaker 2>Oh.

0:39:03.210 --> 0:39:05.250
<v Speaker 8>JJ did one time have his chain.

0:39:04.989 --> 0:39:06.989
<v Speaker 1>Break during the game. I don't remember who they were playing,

0:39:07.010 --> 0:39:08.910
<v Speaker 1>but I remember him just picking it up and tossing

0:39:08.950 --> 0:39:13.440
<v Speaker 1>it out towards the sideline. I don't remember that.

0:39:17.680 --> 0:39:19.640
<v Speaker 7>Well, then you would think if that did happen, you

0:39:19.660 --> 0:39:22.259
<v Speaker 7>wouldn't put yourself in a position to have it happen again.

0:39:22.280 --> 0:39:27.590
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, I think you, I think that tends to

0:39:27.610 --> 0:39:41.140
<v Speaker 1>make some sense. Please ask 10 to be a fantasy

0:39:41.180 --> 0:39:48.410
<v Speaker 1>football question. Okay. Someone sent a trade to someone last night.

0:39:48.469 --> 0:39:52.830
<v Speaker 1>Brian Robinson for Tony Pollard and Jordan Addison. The guy

0:39:52.850 --> 0:39:54.690
<v Speaker 1>thought he was getting Bichon. Do you think it should

0:39:54.710 --> 0:39:55.390
<v Speaker 1>be reversed?

0:39:56.510 --> 0:39:57.620
<v Speaker 6>I always love that one.

0:39:58.600 --> 0:39:59.340
<v Speaker 1>That's brilliant.

0:39:59.360 --> 0:40:03.880
<v Speaker 7>Did he really think someone would offer Bichon for Addison

0:40:03.900 --> 0:40:04.400
<v Speaker 7>and Pollard?

0:40:04.640 --> 0:40:10.529
<v Speaker 1>He must have. Oh, this is good. You know how

0:40:10.570 --> 0:40:13.589
<v Speaker 1>we're trying to figure out a way to... You know,

0:40:13.610 --> 0:40:17.000
<v Speaker 1>ticket sales for Flop, Sweat, and Tears are generally... they

0:40:17.020 --> 0:40:22.830
<v Speaker 1>go from, well, they get to more, but what is it?

0:40:22.850 --> 0:40:27.910
<v Speaker 1>The first one there? Um, tepid, tepid. And they go

0:40:27.950 --> 0:40:30.210
<v Speaker 1>to more. But if we want to change, someone says

0:40:30.469 --> 0:40:33.270
<v Speaker 1>you could sell flop, sweat and tears pants. After you

0:40:33.290 --> 0:40:36.430
<v Speaker 1>laugh so hard, you soil yourself or you could sell

0:40:36.469 --> 0:40:40.020
<v Speaker 1>it as, Hey, you'll laugh so hard. You're soil yourself.

0:40:40.620 --> 0:40:41.720
<v Speaker 6>Just an expert in underwear.

0:40:42.140 --> 0:40:42.460
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:40:42.540 --> 0:40:42.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:40:44.500 --> 0:40:50.180
<v Speaker 1>Um, Oh, and then there's this one. Common. You know

0:40:50.200 --> 0:40:52.080
<v Speaker 1>how we don't like to admit when we're wrong. How

0:40:52.100 --> 0:40:56.420
<v Speaker 1>about just start off the season being positive? Hey, positivity

0:40:56.440 --> 0:40:59.890
<v Speaker 1>for a while. Well, I mean, I'm not. I did say,

0:40:59.910 --> 0:41:08.910
<v Speaker 1>I know it sounds like... I said I actually am more...

0:41:08.930 --> 0:41:15.589
<v Speaker 1>I feel... better about going into this Wolves season than

0:41:15.630 --> 0:41:21.049
<v Speaker 1>I have the last couple. Mostly because of the unknown.

0:41:22.510 --> 0:41:25.500
<v Speaker 1>And again, Tenneby, you know you've heard me, if I've

0:41:25.520 --> 0:41:28.960
<v Speaker 1>said it once, I've said it 13, 14, 100 times.

0:41:30.760 --> 0:41:35.880
<v Speaker 1>I generally go into most Minnesota sports teams seasons feeling

0:41:36.800 --> 0:41:40.370
<v Speaker 1>like terrible team, terrible city, terrible fan, terrible stadium. Then

0:41:40.390 --> 0:41:44.170
<v Speaker 1>I listen to the the Paul Allens of the world

0:41:44.310 --> 0:41:45.830
<v Speaker 1>and the Mark Rosens of.

0:41:45.810 --> 0:41:48.009
<v Speaker 8>The world and the Ben Liebers of the world and.

0:41:47.969 --> 0:41:50.900
<v Speaker 1>The Krasinski's of the world, like Krasinski saying, looks good,

0:41:50.960 --> 0:41:53.319
<v Speaker 1>room for growth, this and that. And I start thinking

0:41:53.340 --> 0:41:56.260
<v Speaker 1>to myself, am I the only one that's missing this here?

0:41:56.300 --> 0:41:58.340
<v Speaker 1>And then you start to go, well, maybe they're right.

0:41:59.060 --> 0:42:01.370
<v Speaker 1>Then generally the season ends exactly as I thought it

0:42:01.410 --> 0:42:06.270
<v Speaker 1>was going to at the very beginning. So But I

0:42:06.310 --> 0:42:08.629
<v Speaker 1>do feel better about this team. But I just think

0:42:08.670 --> 0:42:11.110
<v Speaker 1>it's funny that after one preseason game, and you've got

0:42:11.130 --> 0:42:13.739
<v Speaker 1>to write something. I get that. But it seems as

0:42:13.760 --> 0:42:16.419
<v Speaker 1>though there are people already, you know, reading, like, boy,

0:42:16.440 --> 0:42:24.000
<v Speaker 1>this team is really showing some, you know, they're playing Milwaukee.

0:42:24.300 --> 0:42:27.109
<v Speaker 1>They don't have that Greek kid anymore. Speaking of him,

0:42:27.150 --> 0:42:30.830
<v Speaker 1>how about the Callie McManus guy? He threw a tutty

0:42:30.910 --> 0:42:34.569
<v Speaker 1>for Washington. Is he their starting quarterback now? Because that

0:42:34.590 --> 0:42:36.830
<v Speaker 1>Jaden Daniels, is he still out, or what's the deal there?

0:42:36.850 --> 0:42:38.910
<v Speaker 6>Jaden, yeah, and then Mariota was playing.

0:42:39.110 --> 0:42:44.380
<v Speaker 1>Okay. Because I watched a play where Kelly McManus, I mean, again,

0:42:44.420 --> 0:42:45.920
<v Speaker 1>he hit the guy in stride, and the guy was

0:42:46.000 --> 0:42:47.879
<v Speaker 1>open by about three or four steps, so most guys

0:42:47.900 --> 0:42:48.920
<v Speaker 1>can make that pass.

0:42:48.960 --> 0:42:51.920
<v Speaker 6>So Mariota had a knee injury.

0:42:51.980 --> 0:42:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:42:54.020 --> 0:42:56.120
<v Speaker 7>So then that's when the Greek kid came in against,

0:42:57.080 --> 0:43:01.600
<v Speaker 7>they were in London on Sunday. It does say that

0:43:02.410 --> 0:43:05.290
<v Speaker 7>Jane Daniels with a dislocated left elbow could return against

0:43:05.330 --> 0:43:06.370
<v Speaker 7>the Giants in week five.

0:43:06.510 --> 0:43:06.790
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:43:10.750 --> 0:43:13.590
<v Speaker 6>But yeah, I guess if he can't go, Calic Manis.

0:43:14.870 --> 0:43:15.190
<v Speaker 1>P.J.

0:43:15.210 --> 0:43:15.569
<v Speaker 6>Doubted him.

0:43:16.880 --> 0:43:20.180
<v Speaker 1>How about this, Jeremy? It'd be like game-worn jerseys, comedy

0:43:20.239 --> 0:43:25.420
<v Speaker 1>show soiled pants. It'd be... Now we're starting to come

0:43:25.460 --> 0:43:27.219
<v Speaker 1>up with some ideas that I think you could really

0:43:27.260 --> 0:43:28.140
<v Speaker 1>sink your teeth into.

0:43:29.440 --> 0:43:29.840
<v Speaker 3>Um....

0:43:32.730 --> 0:43:41.750
<v Speaker 1>Oh, so now someone says it wasn't Ant and his

0:43:42.390 --> 0:43:44.279
<v Speaker 1>necklace that got torn up. He says, correction, it was

0:43:44.320 --> 0:43:47.300
<v Speaker 1>a diamond earring that Ty Chandler found. Well, that's a

0:43:47.340 --> 0:43:52.420
<v Speaker 1>lot different. Diamond earring as compared to a chain of them.

0:43:54.020 --> 0:43:56.560
<v Speaker 8>And then there's this one. A question for Tenemy. Did

0:43:56.580 --> 0:43:58.279
<v Speaker 8>you hear Larkin get booed?

0:43:59.140 --> 0:44:01.759
<v Speaker 1>Bring him here. Let's go. Your thoughts, did he get

0:44:01.820 --> 0:44:04.160
<v Speaker 1>booed last night by the Red Wing fans? Which I

0:44:04.180 --> 0:44:07.810
<v Speaker 1>can understand, right, because he's demanding he wants out.

0:44:08.170 --> 0:44:10.270
<v Speaker 8>Fans don't like when you turn on them.

0:44:10.410 --> 0:44:10.649
<v Speaker 3>Sure.

0:44:11.290 --> 0:44:13.750
<v Speaker 7>When you demand a trade, you're not going to get.

0:44:13.570 --> 0:44:15.990
<v Speaker 6>A warm review.

0:44:16.210 --> 0:44:20.049
<v Speaker 7>I mean, he's had an apparent upper body injury the

0:44:20.070 --> 0:44:22.270
<v Speaker 7>last couple weeks. I don't know if that's an actual

0:44:22.330 --> 0:44:24.050
<v Speaker 7>upper body injury or hoping.

0:44:24.030 --> 0:44:25.270
<v Speaker 1>To get traded, but.

0:44:27.430 --> 0:44:29.430
<v Speaker 7>They still don't even have a full-time GM in Detroit yet.

0:44:29.450 --> 0:44:30.510
<v Speaker 7>They're still going with an interim.

0:44:33.530 --> 0:44:34.860
<v Speaker 8>Why is it taking so long?

0:44:35.930 --> 0:44:37.319
<v Speaker 6>Well, I do wonder if.

0:44:38.940 --> 0:44:42.620
<v Speaker 7>Either Quinn Hughes wants out of here or it's probably

0:44:42.680 --> 0:44:44.900
<v Speaker 7>tied to the Dylan Larkin thing. Because it doesn't make

0:44:44.940 --> 0:44:46.520
<v Speaker 7>much sense for the Wild to just go into the

0:44:46.560 --> 0:44:51.170
<v Speaker 7>season with Quinn Hughes on your roster knowing he's going

0:44:51.190 --> 0:44:53.050
<v Speaker 7>to be gone and you just gave up the equivalent

0:44:53.070 --> 0:44:58.299
<v Speaker 7>of four first-round prospects for him. So I do wonder

0:44:58.320 --> 0:45:00.839
<v Speaker 7>if there's still other moves that have to happen for

0:45:00.920 --> 0:45:03.919
<v Speaker 7>Quinn to get locked down. Because it's clearly not money.

0:45:05.780 --> 0:45:07.609
<v Speaker 7>They've offered him the max for how many ever years

0:45:07.650 --> 0:45:08.009
<v Speaker 7>he wants.

0:45:13.170 --> 0:45:17.029
<v Speaker 1>Mike Illich passed away not long ago. He was the

0:45:17.230 --> 0:45:23.790
<v Speaker 1>owner of the Detroit Red Wings. Marion Illich along with

0:45:23.810 --> 0:45:26.870
<v Speaker 1>the Illich family, now owns the Detroit Red Wings. And

0:45:26.969 --> 0:45:31.530
<v Speaker 1>it sounds as though it says the governor and CEO

0:45:31.550 --> 0:45:35.360
<v Speaker 1>of the club, Christopher Illich. He's a son of Marion

0:45:35.540 --> 0:45:39.620
<v Speaker 1>and late founder Mike Illich. Apparently, he's basically the face

0:45:39.640 --> 0:45:44.360
<v Speaker 1>of the organization. He must be responsible for finding a

0:45:44.400 --> 0:45:47.439
<v Speaker 1>general manager. How long have they been looking for one now?

0:45:47.460 --> 0:45:49.819
<v Speaker 1>It's been weeks, right?

0:45:49.840 --> 0:45:54.310
<v Speaker 6>Oh, it's been months. I thought it was like... Late July,

0:45:54.370 --> 0:45:54.950
<v Speaker 6>early August.

0:45:56.050 --> 0:45:59.089
<v Speaker 1>I've got some advice for you. Just go get all

0:45:59.110 --> 0:46:05.129
<v Speaker 1>the NHL media guys. Start thumbing through them and voila,

0:46:05.850 --> 0:46:08.330
<v Speaker 1>you find Brian Falvey. No, what was Falvey's first name?

0:46:09.890 --> 0:46:10.170
<v Speaker 6>Derek.

0:46:10.330 --> 0:46:13.220
<v Speaker 1>Derek. You find the next Derek Falvey. It's all you

0:46:13.260 --> 0:46:15.020
<v Speaker 1>got to do, just flip through the media. It's not

0:46:15.080 --> 0:46:15.780
<v Speaker 1>that hard.

0:46:16.180 --> 0:46:18.939
<v Speaker 8>Either that or you go, is it that web, that job,

0:46:18.960 --> 0:46:19.520
<v Speaker 8>is it called Indeed?

0:46:19.540 --> 0:46:22.219
<v Speaker 1>Indeed. It's not that difficult, dude.

0:46:22.280 --> 0:46:23.980
<v Speaker 6>Or just make it part of your Larkin trade.

0:46:24.000 --> 0:46:25.820
<v Speaker 7>The Wild will trade you our assistant GM.

0:46:25.900 --> 0:46:26.260
<v Speaker 1>Yes.

0:46:26.460 --> 0:46:29.260
<v Speaker 6>And some prospects for Dylan Larkin.

0:46:29.340 --> 0:46:29.640
<v Speaker 2>Yes.

0:46:30.080 --> 0:46:31.180
<v Speaker 6>You can get a new GM out of it.

0:46:31.360 --> 0:46:34.470
<v Speaker 1>And our video coordinator. Boom, you slide into the position.

0:46:34.489 --> 0:46:35.430
<v Speaker 6>I really like that one, yeah.

0:46:35.610 --> 0:46:36.830
<v Speaker 1>See, now we got it all figured out.

0:46:36.850 --> 0:46:37.670
<v Speaker 6>Let's get Jonas out of here.

0:46:38.110 --> 0:46:40.330
<v Speaker 1>Let's take a break and come back. The legendary one,

0:46:40.350 --> 0:46:45.150
<v Speaker 1>Mark Rosen, is waiting in the wings to join us. Oh, boy.
