1
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: But you know what, but you know what, man, we

2
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: got a lot of text pouring in, not hockey related,

3
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: not gold medal related, but related to the difficult subject

4
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: we were just exploring in the wake of the news

5
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: that Rondel Moore had died. We think authorities thing due

6
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: to a self inflicted gunshot wound at the age of

7
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,919
Speaker 1: twenty five, the Viking receiver. So I will try to

8
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 1: save some of those and get to them a little

9
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 1: bit later in the show. Russo Radio is back from Italia,

10
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: back from covering men's hockey and women's hockey as well.

11
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: It sounds like, based on an earlier conversation today that

12
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: you're still kind of body clock wise screwed up. You're

13
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: getting up about three thirty four in the morning.

14
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. It hasn't helped that I've like fallen to sleep

15
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: around eight or nine, so yeah, so yeah, I got

16
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 2: to try to get back on normal time. But whatever,

17
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 2: I mean, it was it was an incredibly fun experience

18
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 2: and uh, at least I'm sleeping, but uh yeah, just

19
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: odd hours.

20
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 1: Well let's let's let's get it out of the way early,

21
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: because for a while Guardian and I we we were

22
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: worried that there was some sort of a Russo schism

23
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: that it developed because we couldn't get you on.

24
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 3: I knew a lot of times.

25
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: The problem was the games were literally going on that

26
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: you were covering while we were on the air, but

27
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: we were looking at each other like, man, what do

28
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 1: we do?

29
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 3: What do we do to Russo?

30
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: So there wasn't any bad blood was that there was

31
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,919
Speaker 1: no schism because if there is, I'd rather.

32
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 2: Go out in the open, right, I know why you

33
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: would think that. I mean I was even doing fondness once,

34
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: so like you know, fallness sho you knew that something

35
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: might be wrong.

36
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 3: Well yeah, yeah.

37
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 2: Honestly it was the time, you know, because the United

38
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 2: States played five nine ten PM games seen ten back here,

39
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 2: so it just you know, yeah, it just became uh

40
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 2: or excuse me, it became it was what two ten

41
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: back here, So essentially like when you were coming on

42
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: the air, pretty much we were, yeah, in the middle

43
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 2: of the second period, So it just became really tough

44
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: with times and and then you know, we had three

45
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: games a day at Santa Julia, so it's just back

46
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 2: to back to back. So the time is it just

47
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 2: worked out. We're kind of PA's time flood and yeah,

48
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: that's Saturday's show with fallness.

49
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: Well, there's it's it's it's a it's a ratings giant.

50
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: There's no question about that. Here's your toss up question.

51
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: This comes from Alan and Afton. Then it kind of

52
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: opens the door for you to go a number of

53
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: different directions. Well, you ask Russo who outperformed expectations more

54
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: the men's team or the women's team. And secondly, did

55
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: the wild players move up the ranks amongst the NHL

56
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: best on the basis of performances in Italy?

57
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean definitely the men's team, I mean the

58
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,399
Speaker 2: women's team. You know, I think I talked to you

59
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 2: because I got to cover the rivalry series November December.

60
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 2: I think I talked to you going into the Olympics

61
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: that they were unbelievable and I just didn't see how

62
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, one the other nations that haven't

63
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: even come close catching up to Canada. The United States

64
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: could could outplay the Americans, but to Canada, because I mean,

65
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 2: you know, going into that gold medal game, the United

66
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: States had beaten them seven times in a row. I

67
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 2: covered four of them. They were all blowout going into

68
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 2: that gold medal game. The United States women were six

69
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: to zero in the tournament, five straight shutouts, out shooting

70
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 2: outscoring team thirty one to one. I give Canada a

71
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: ton of credit though, in that gold medal game they

72
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: came to play the United States, had a fight on

73
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: ten and had a rally back, and obviously Hillary knit

74
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: scored the amazing goal and Megan Keller in overtime. But

75
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: you know, to me, it was expected that they were

76
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 2: going to win gold. They were the favorite going in

77
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: the United States wasn't favored in the men's tournament, and

78
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 2: they did have the easier group. But what that did

79
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: get them was a quarterfinal date with Sweden, which could

80
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: have easily been a gold medal game, and that I

81
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: think that was a huge, huge, not only win to

82
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: them for obvious reasons if they go home if they

83
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 2: don't win that game, but I think it got them

84
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 2: battle tested, and so I I really, you know, think

85
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: that that helped them against Slovaki and helped them really

86
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 2: against against Canada. Obviously Hellibuck was sensational, but they they

87
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 2: defended well, that killed penalties, they won draws, and they

88
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 2: earned that gold medal. So both teams, I mean just

89
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 2: absolutely awesome, awesome teams to cover. In terms of the

90
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 2: Wild players, I think everybody in the world knows how

91
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 2: good at Quinn Hughes is. But yeah, I totally think that,

92
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 2: you know, now outside this marketplace, people realize how good

93
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 2: that Goldie and brought Favor are and and I thought

94
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 2: Favor was exceptional throughout the tournament, especially on the penalty kill.

95
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 2: And Boldie obviously scored a couple of huge goals and

96
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 2: was on the line with Austin Matthews and Jake Nsel

97
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 2: that just got better as the tournament went along. So,

98
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: you know, really really uh quality play from all three

99
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 2: Wild Americans.

100
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: What in your mind, what in terms of the US

101
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: men's performance, what surprised you the most, if anything, And

102
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: what part of their play maybe either collectively or individually

103
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: did you you know, I'm sure you thought they were

104
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: going to contend or they're in it, But what's what

105
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 1: caught your eye the most, or what maybe even surprised

106
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: you a little.

107
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 2: Bit the way the way they defended, you know, and

108
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 2: this is what Bill Garon tried to create going into

109
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: the tournament. Obviously, I think we all knew that the

110
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: Blue Line was as good as it got in the

111
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 2: tournament and probably better than every team out there. But

112
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 2: they're forwards bought into checking, and I think a lot

113
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 2: of it was the identity they brought with guys like

114
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 2: Vincent Trocheck and Brock Nelson and JT. Miller. But then

115
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 2: you had guys like you know, Jack Hughes and and

116
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: Kje Thompson and and players that aren't known to be

117
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 2: checkers that came in there and checked, and they just

118
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: wound up being such a defensive juggernaut. Obviously Hellibuk was

119
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 2: was outstanding. The only game they gave up more than

120
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 2: two goals was the game that Jeremy Swayman started, So

121
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 2: they just were great throughout. I think gave up ten

122
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 2: goals in the entire tournament, So you know, they just

123
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: were awesome that way. That was the one thing. In

124
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 2: terms of individually, I think Jack Hughes was the one

125
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 2: that really surprised me because he came in, you know, hurt,

126
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 2: had the groin injury. Hasn't been great this year for

127
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 2: the Devils. Obviously had the cut the cut hand after

128
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 2: the accidents that he had at the team party that

129
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 2: made him miss you know, basically a couple of months.

130
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: But he started on the fourth line and just burned

131
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: his way up the lineup and wound up, you know,

132
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 2: combining with his brother for fifteen points. So I thought

133
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 2: Jack was just outstanding.

134
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: The give us a sense of the atmosphere in the building.

135
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the Olympic atmosphere at large,

136
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: but within the building, especially let's say, in the minutes

137
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: before the gold medal game and as the game ensued,

138
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: it certainly looked on TV as if the atmospherics were terrific.

139
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 3: What was it like in the building?

140
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, First of all, for as much concern as we

141
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 2: had about the building going into the Epics and not

142
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: being built, it was such a great arena, really easy

143
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 2: to get around, really easy to work in, really easy

144
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 2: for a fan to have great sightlines at any point.

145
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 2: Seats are comfortable. I mean, everything about it was awesome.

146
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 2: And it was your typical Olympic atmosphere for a hockey game,

147
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: just you know, love of country by both teams that

148
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:47,239
Speaker 2: were playing, you know, banners, painted faces, cheers, the wave.

149
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 2: It was outstanding. And the one thing I'll say too

150
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 2: is everybody got along like there was no booing the

151
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: United States, there was no booing other countries obviously you

152
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 2: had the chance the back and forth, the USA can whatever.

153
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 2: But you know, when I covered the Four Nations, you know,

154
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 2: every time the anthem was sung the US anthem, it

155
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 2: was food in Canada, to the point that when we

156
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,559
Speaker 2: got to Boston it wound up being vice versa. And

157
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 2: a lot of that was the the you know, just

158
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: the atmosphere at the time, but there was none of

159
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 2: that this time. Now. Part of it is because they

160
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 2: don't play anthems before any of the games, right you know,

161
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: those are reserved for when you meddle, you hear your

162
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 2: anthem if you win gold, So that was definitely part

163
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 2: of it. But but there was none of that, Like

164
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 2: even like, you know, we were really on the lookout

165
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 2: when the United States played Denmark if there was gonna

166
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: be a lot of protests or signs regarding you know,

167
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: the whole Greenland thing that's going on right now, and

168
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 2: there was none of that even for that game. So

169
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 2: I think from that standpoint, it was it was just

170
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 2: awesome that we were The display was on the ice,

171
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: and uh, just a lot of fun and really what

172
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 2: was a non compelling tournament up until the quarterfinals, it

173
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 2: just became an incredible last three games of the quarters

174
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 2: of the Semis and then the obviously the gold medal game.

175
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 2: Before that wasn't very good. Not a lot of comebacks,

176
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 2: not a lot of drama, not a lot of upsets.

177
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 2: But once that Finland Switzerland name happened, it was like

178
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 2: bang bang bang. It was just the rest of the

179
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 2: tournament was just incredible.

180
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: How about outside, again, you're probably in the building a lot,

181
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 1: but you got to get there, Yeah, you got to

182
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: be in you know, the village, whatever the case may be. Again,

183
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: the pictures on NBC were beautiful, very you know, scenic,

184
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: very aesthetically pleasing. It's not a tough place to look good, right,

185
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: But what what was it? What did you sense in

186
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: that regard?

187
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Milan grew on me. It was just

188
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: such a fun city, clean, just a lot of places

189
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 2: to go and have fun, you know, going around the

190
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 2: Duomo area where you know, pretty much was the area

191
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 2: where you had the broadcasting obviously there with the NBC

192
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 2: tower and things like that. It was place to go

193
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 2: if you were a fan. They had the Giant store there,

194
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 2: the most important thing, Starbucks roaster is right there. I

195
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 2: hung out there a couple of times, but uh, you know,

196
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 2: it was just a really cool atmosphere. The one thing

197
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 2: I will say with you know, most the events, most

198
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: sports going on in two different places up the mountain.

199
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 2: The only three things in Milan itself besides the main

200
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 2: media center was was speed skating for your skating ucky.

201
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 2: So every other event, every other sport was elsewhere. So

202
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 2: you just didn't get that at that Olympic atmosphere, Olympic spirit.

203
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 2: You wouldn't even know what was going on at times

204
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 2: there weren't wasn't a lot of signage at all. So

205
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 2: that was the one thing I was surprised when I

206
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 2: you know, when I I remember going to Vancouver and

207
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 2: it was everywhere you knew the Olympics was going on.

208
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 2: And obviously Whistler isn't clothes, but this play, this thing

209
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 2: just really felt like there were two different Olympics. Like

210
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 2: the every the curling and all the all the snow

211
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 2: sports might as well been in other country. For as

212
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 2: far as we do down in Milan, I.

213
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: Want to get to some wild stuff because of course

214
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: the season resumes for them tonight where you are and

215
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 1: oh no, we'll get where Garan is. You're not there, right,

216
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: You're not uh in so I thought the Yeah, Garan

217
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: is obviously there.

218
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 2: I'll be on the next trip to trade that line trip.

219
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: There you go, Oh, that'll be juicy for sure. We're

220
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: going to get to all that in a minute. Do

221
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: you wanna do you want to weigh in on any

222
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: of the blowback to what took place in the locker

223
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: room Pattel there, uh, swigging whatever you was swigging, and

224
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: then you know, the phone being held up and the

225
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: president's talking, and the players get have gotten ripped for

226
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: laughing at the at at the the stupid comment from

227
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 1: the president, and it's sort of kind of ballooned from there.

228
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: Any anything you start or and anywhere you want on

229
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: this particular subject, give it whatever you think it's worth.

230
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 2: I mean, like you know, after the game, Mike Sullivan,

231
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 2: the coach of the United States, was asked a quick

232
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 2: question in the postgame press corrence that asked if Donald

233
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 2: Trump called the room, and he basically said yes, And

234
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 2: so Bill kind of wrote it. You know, none of

235
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 2: us really knew obviously what the subject was, and and uh,

236
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 2: the only thing that was very clear is that they

237
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 2: made it. They made it, you know. Austin Matthews inferred

238
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 2: a couple of times that their travel plans were going

239
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 2: to be changed, and we had already known where. I

240
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 2: had already known that their plight to New York was

241
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 2: going to be rerouted to Miami, so I knew that

242
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 2: couldn't have been what he was talking about. You know,

243
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 2: the storms were in the Northeast, so they went down

244
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 2: to Miami, So I knew there had to be something else. So,

245
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 2: you know, I just figured that they were invited to

246
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 2: the White House, you know, and that we just had

247
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 2: to figure it out. And then a couple hours after

248
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 2: the game, that's when the video started coming out that

249
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 2: showed that Cash Bettel was in the locker room partying

250
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 2: with the players and on his cell phone, which I've

251
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: actually thought was pretty cool. It said a big DT

252
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 2: and Donald Trump on a normal cell phone with his

253
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 2: normal name, just sitting on a cell phone talking to

254
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 2: the team. And so I retweeted the video because it

255
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 2: was fascinating. One the congratulations, one him calling out hell

256
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 2: about but the obvious, the grudging invite to the women's team,

257
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 2: and then the joke afterwards. I wasn't even really paying

258
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: attention to the quote unquote laugh what I heard, and

259
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 2: maybe the difference between me and people that are always

260
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 2: looking for controversy is what I heard was two players,

261
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 2: and it turns out and talking to Heal Dylan Markin

262
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 2: and brock Nelson screaming excitedly two for two because they

263
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 2: both won gold medals. And I heard Matt Kuchuck when

264
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 2: when the President said we're going to invite the women's team,

265
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 2: I heard him say absolutely, and then I heard the joke,

266
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 2: and that's when it was obvious that he was kind

267
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 2: of being you know, uh, sarcastic there. And then we

268
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 2: get back and and it just seemed to blow up

269
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 2: from there where just now instead of the joke being

270
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 2: the story, it was the fact that the men's team,

271
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 2: you know, we're being messigh genistic and things like that.

272
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 2: And so my editors assigned me yesterday go to the

273
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 2: Minnesota Frost to see if they felt that way, and

274
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 2: they obviously had six fold. Nettles talked to four of

275
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 2: them with other reports, and the one thing that was

276
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 2: pretty common with all of them is that they felt

277
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 2: the love and support from the men's team and their

278
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 2: interactions throughout the tournament. You know, they were at the

279
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 2: Olympic village in the same dorm room. They had the

280
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: same common area. They hung out a lot, they had

281
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 2: the same shripping room. The men's team went to a

282
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 2: lot of the women's games. The women's team went to

283
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 2: a lot of men's games. There's relationships too with a

284
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 2: lot of these players. I did a daily diary with

285
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 2: Charlie macvoy, who's just super excited to see the women

286
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 2: win because he knew five of those athletes on that

287
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 2: team because his sister played with them. So you know,

288
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 2: there was you know, to me, I saw this interaction

289
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 2: and to me, that speaks louder than being caught off

290
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 2: guard with a joke by the president and being in

291
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 2: this few forks and just getting caught up in the moment.

292
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 2: And what the the women on the frost uh, you know,

293
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 2: affirmed is that's how they felt. And so the one

294
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 2: thing it is that they don't want it to overshadow

295
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 2: what they accomplished during the whole thing, and I don't

296
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 2: think it is. I think now that everybody, everybody's back

297
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 2: with their NHL teams, and every reporter in the in

298
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 2: the country that covered UH an American player on their

299
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 2: teams have now asked these players. Hopefully both everybody just

300
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 2: moves on us included reporters and uh and let the

301
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 2: both women and men's team really you know, uh have

302
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 2: elation and what they accomplished, which was something pretty special

303
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 2: both uh, you know, a double world medal for both

304
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 2: the men and women's hocket teams the United States is

305
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 2: the first time ever.

306
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: That's very well put. I think you know that you

307
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: know this sad, you know how this business works. We

308
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: don't have video of all those interactions you know that

309
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: you're referring to between members of the two teams that

310
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 1: might nuance the story a little bit or muddy the

311
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: waters on this. We got this one, you know, piece

312
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: of video, and by god, we got them. We got

313
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: them again, and.

314
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 3: We're gonna nail them. We're gonna nailhim too.

315
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: The wall And because it's it's very compact, right, it's

316
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: just a few seconds and it's right in front of

317
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: our faces. And the other stuff's harder to get because

318
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: it's not been documented the same way or can't be

319
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: documented the same way. And it tells it very clearly,

320
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: because I certainly trust you a very at the very

321
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: least a very a much more complicated story, but that

322
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: that doesn't fit in the sound bite world right.

323
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 2: Everybody, you know, you and I have had this discussion

324
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 2: so many times, like people out there are always just

325
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 2: they want to get It's like they there's there's a

326
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 2: there's a scene in Indian Summer, a movie that I

327
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 2: absolutely love, where where a widow goes to the summer

328
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 2: camp for union and she is sad the entire time,

329
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 2: and one of the characters I think was Bill Paxton

330
00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 2: says to her, you know, how come you came? And

331
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 2: she goes because I wanted to be sad and now

332
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,719
Speaker 2: I'm sad. And that that, to me, is what people

333
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 2: online do all the time. It's like they want to

334
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 2: get offended every day. I look at some of these

335
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 2: timelines that come after you or go after other people,

336
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 2: and their entire timeline by the minute. I mean, imagine

337
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 2: that existence is just trying to get angry over something.

338
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 2: And it's like, you know, as some people have said

339
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 2: to me, they'll move on to the next thing the

340
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 2: next day. But I know a lot of these players

341
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 2: and they're good, good people, and they got caught up

342
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 2: in this euphoric moment. We're just you know, or you're

343
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 2: just amazed that you just want to go medal, the

344
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 2: President is on the of the United States on the telephone,

345
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 2: and you're you're, you know, as Brita Curl said yesterday,

346
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 2: judging from her locker room, you're liable to laugh at anything.

347
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 2: And who who of us has not laughed at inappropriate

348
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 2: choke at times in our life? And you know, and

349
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 2: there are people just going after like Matt Boldie in

350
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 2: prop Favor and Quinn Hughes for all this stuff, and

351
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 2: I'm just like, you know, like have you ever just

352
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 2: read one second about brock favors life and the love

353
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 2: he has for his two sisters, one that is that

354
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 2: is special needs? And then you're gonna sit there and

355
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 2: think that brock Favor things has no respect for the

356
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 2: women's team, like just like everybody just worry about yourself, man,

357
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 2: And I don't understand it. And I knew that I

358
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 2: must have done a good job yesterday because I had

359
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 2: both the right side of the aisle and.

360
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 3: Like somebody called me welcome to our world.

361
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 2: Yeah I know, Like so you know, like I just think,

362
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 2: like we all live in a world. We're just like

363
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 2: online all the time. It's so bad for our mental health.

364
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 2: And they're just you know, it's just truly unbelievable that

365
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 2: there are just people out there that just sit there

366
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 2: on a minute by minute basis reading just this stuff.

367
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 2: And we know how how Twitter works. It it feeds

368
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 2: your algorithm to the point that you're only seeing things

369
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 2: that are gonna piss you off or engage you, and

370
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 2: and it just has created this world where we all

371
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 2: want to just get offended and cancel others. And this

372
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 2: is the perfect situation where, you know, a stupid laugh

373
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 2: for one second of something that we probably shouldn't even

374
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 2: know and happened, has now overshadowed the incredible success and

375
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 2: victories of two hockey.

376
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: Teams, you know, one of the most remarkable aspects of

377
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: this story. And it occurred to me as you're talking

378
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: to players from the women's team. Okay, you're trying to

379
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: do your due diligence in your report and giving them

380
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: a chance to say whatever they want to say right

381
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: on this subject, because that's fair game.

382
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 3: That's you doing your job.

383
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: Here's what I've heard today from some of those comments,

384
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: which have been pretty positive. I think there's been some acknowledgment. Okay, yeah,

385
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: there was a blip, there is annoying whatever. But here's

386
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 1: the rest of the story. It's being dismissed because some

387
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: people want to dismiss it, you know why, because it's

388
00:19:58,560 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: not what they want to hear.

389
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 3: And it's like, here's what I'm hearing.

390
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: Well, they're just, you know, the women are being nice,

391
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: and that's that's big of them.

392
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 3: But and I'm.

393
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: Thinking, is there anything more patronizing to say to the women?

394
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 1: Then we don't really trust what you're saying. You must

395
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: just be saying that because you feel like you want

396
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: to say, is it possible we might want to take

397
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: them at their word? Is that among the possibilities.

398
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 3: We need to discuss?

399
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 2: And yeah, And you know, and throughout the tournament, because

400
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 2: I was there, I got to a witness the interactions

401
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 2: that both teams had for each other and that support

402
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 2: the respect, and so I knew essentially going to Frost

403
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 2: practice what I was going to hear from these players

404
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 2: yesterday because I had seen it and I witnessed it.

405
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 2: And then you put it out there and you still

406
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 2: have people coming at you saying that, I'm you know,

407
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 2: you're making excuses them to me, if they are not offended,

408
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 2: that's all that matters, and it's move on, you know,

409
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 2: like to think that Quinn and Jack Hughes, whose mom

410
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 2: was part of the USA Hockey women's team, it was

411
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 2: a huge reason why they won gold. To think that

412
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 2: they don't respect that those athletes is just absurd and

413
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 2: and it's all based on on a little laugh where

414
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 2: players were in a uphoork locker room drinking uh and

415
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 2: they were caught off guard by this joke. But if

416
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 2: you hear right before the joke, when when Matthew Ku

417
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 2: Chuck and Dylan lark And and Brock Nelson are agreeing that

418
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 2: the women should go with them to the White House,

419
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 2: that just shows you actually what their heart is. And

420
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 2: then obviously the joke is dropped. They laugh. It's they're

421
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 2: they're caught off guard by it. I don't think anybody expects,

422
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 2: you know, accept the perfect people on X that that

423
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 2: twenty athletes are going to say, excuse me, mister President,

424
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 2: that joke was inappropriate and then hang up on them.

425
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 2: I mean, like, you know, let's let's be in real

426
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 2: life here, and it's just it's it's crazy to me

427
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 2: that that this has become the controversy it has, but man,

428
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 2: it is, it is unbelievable. But that's what you're getting

429
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 2: in today's day and age, and you know, we're divided

430
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 2: in so many and people just want to believe, you know,

431
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 2: what they want and believe that everybody else should believe.

432
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 3: The way that they believe.

433
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if you got this quote, but I've

434
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 1: heard it before from other women's athletes, women athletes that

435
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: that that say. One of the misconceptions here is.

436
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 3: That we need to be protected.

437
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: We're going to go to pieces if somebody says something

438
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 1: that is disparaging, wherever the case may be, that in

439
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 1: itself is so demeaning and patronizing. I'm guessing what most

440
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: of these players are saying is we want to revel

441
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: in what we did.

442
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 3: That's got to be this thing.

443
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: So we may have our opinions and we may not

444
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: have loved it, and I don't blame them if they

445
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't have necessarily, but that the idea that they that

446
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: that we need to protect them because they're these fragile, fragile,

447
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: delicate flowers, that is to me demeaning and patronizing. These

448
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: are pretty accomplished individuals, well, I'm guessing are kind of

449
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: at some point going on, Okay, enough, let's just get

450
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: back the fact that we want to celebrate what we did.

451
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, and you're right. I mean, like you know,

452
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 2: I can't imagine that any of them loved to hear

453
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 2: what the President said.

454
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 3: I shouldn't.

455
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 2: But but I what I agree with you on is

456
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 2: that we have to go back to just celebrating what

457
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 2: this team did. They were an absolute wagon, as dominant

458
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 2: a hockey team as I've ever seen ever, Like none

459
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 2: of those teams, including Canada and the group stage, could

460
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 2: do anything about their dominance. And then in the gold

461
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 2: medal game, when they had to play a real, real

462
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 2: hockey game and we're being challenged, they got incredible goaltending,

463
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 2: defended well the plays, and they rallied back in that

464
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 2: game and and earned a gold medal after dominating but

465
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 2: yet one where they had to be tested and overcome adversity.

466
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 2: And so it made for the perfect conclusion of a

467
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 2: of an incredible run for this team, an incredible quad

468
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 2: where they won a world championship last year as well,

469
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 2: And so that is what we should be talking about.

470
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 2: And the other thing about the women's program right now

471
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 2: is I don't see how anybody is going to catch

472
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 2: up to them, because they have so many incredibly good, young, fast,

473
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 2: talented athletes that are going to be part of this

474
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 2: program for years and years and years to come. That

475
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 2: Canada that would be worried, well, how they're going to

476
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 2: catch up?

477
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 3: One last thought on that, and you raised it.

478
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,360
Speaker 1: I mean, they going into the gold medal game, they've

479
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 1: outscored the opposition thirty one to one, and so it

480
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: feels like this is going to be a coronation, but

481
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: it might not be particularly compelling, right if it continues

482
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: to go the way you expect it, And it was

483
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: strictly I think by the way they won that In fact,

484
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: Canada did join the battle and Canada did have them

485
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: on their heels. You wrote about this that you didn't

486
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 1: even recognize us as the US team early. That's added

487
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: to the drama because then there was drama was they

488
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: could actually lose this game, right, And to me, that's

489
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 1: what elevated it to the place ultimately it got to.

490
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a totally uncompelling uh, you know, it

491
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 2: just was not a lot of drama in those early games.

492
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 2: And and Canada ran ran, dominated their competition. The United

493
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 2: States dominated their competition, including Canada, and I think that

494
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 2: was the biggest like That was the biggest shock that

495
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 2: I had covering the women's tournament is that these other

496
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 2: countries Finland, Swede and Switzerland, they're not even on the

497
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 2: same planet as Canada and the United States. And so

498
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 2: if they don't catch up this this, uh, you know,

499
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 2: the future of women hockey on the international level is

500
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 2: going to just continue to be United States Canada for

501
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 2: the rest of the time, right And they you know,

502
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 2: they've they've they're the only two teams that have won

503
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 2: goals and in these type of things, in these type

504
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 2: of events. But you know, I will tell you, if

505
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 2: it wasn't for that gold medal game and seeing the

506
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 2: battle that Canada put forth and the fact that the

507
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 2: United States overcame it, it would have been the easiest

508
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,479
Speaker 2: run of a gold medal maybe exactly a sport. Yeah,

509
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 2: and it would not have been in the most compelling thing.

510
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 2: So you know, I just I did. I loved every

511
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 2: second of that game because you know, the United States

512
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,719
Speaker 2: looked so nervous early in that game, and they just

513
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 2: slowly and slowly clawed their way back into that game.

514
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,719
Speaker 2: And then to have Hillary Knight, who's in her final

515
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 2: of five Olympics, score the tying goal, and just instead

516
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 2: of realizing what a storybook ending of her Olympic career

517
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 2: this is going to be, she just goes into the

518
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 2: locker room and says, who's going to be the hero

519
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 2: and doesn't even worry about herself, doesn't even think like, wow,

520
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 2: look what I just did. And then she goes out

521
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 2: there and obviously they come out and score a huge

522
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,959
Speaker 2: goal on a high Zeta Keller masterpiece.

523
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 3: So it was pretty sweet, tremendous story.

524
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: Your coverage was outstanding, even by your standards. It was

525
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: It's very clear you worked your butt off, but it

526
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: was there was great stuff that you guys covered that

527
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,479
Speaker 1: thing like a blanket quickly. We'll have time to get

528
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: into the wild and more detail, certainly next week and

529
00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: moving forward, but you know, it's time the season. I

530
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: think I technically resumed yesterday in the league, but this

531
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: is the first wild game back tonight. So what are

532
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: we looking for right off the bat? I mean, it's

533
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: it's obviously a great opponent. I mean, it's a game

534
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: that gets your attention right out of the break. Even

535
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: though all of the discussion has been about the Olympics,

536
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: this is a pretty good way to reintroduce the National

537
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 1: Hockey League to this market of the Wild against the Lanch.

538
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

539
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And you know it was really interesting yesterday in Utah.

540
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 2: Colorado played won the game and they held McKinnon out,

541
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 2: which brock Nelson did play and he scored a thirtieth

542
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 2: goal of the year. So it's a second of a

543
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 2: back to back. The Wild, you know, had the benefit

544
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 2: on with Colorado playing last night, but when you don't

545
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 2: play for three weeks, the fact that Colorado has gotten

546
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 2: a game under its belt actually probably believes an advantage

547
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 2: for them. You know. The one thing I'll tell you

548
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 2: is that I'll be looking for tonight is how the

549
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 2: heck that Matt Boldie brock favorite Quinn. Yeah, you know,

550
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 2: yesterday this morning, for you know what thirty minutes if

551
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 2: that they were on the ice for the first time

552
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 2: since Sunday's gold medal game. I can't imagine they found

553
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 2: ice partying in Miami or Washington, d C. So I

554
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 2: will be really interested, uh, And you know, and how

555
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 2: they're playing their stamina after a fun couple of days.

556
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 2: And you know, if you're a wild stand you better

557
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 2: hope that that that doesn't lead to like groin injuries

558
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 2: or things like that. But look, this is gonna be

559
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 2: a big game for them, right. You know, Colorado is

560
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 2: now seven points up on them. You know, Dallas is

561
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 2: a point over the while, and if the Wild want

562
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 2: to figure out a way to get home ice against

563
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 2: Dallas Stars or even win this conference, they've got to

564
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 2: eat into these games against the Avalanche. And they have

565
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 2: two in the next eight days, so it's two in

566
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 2: the next I think nine or ten. Ye excuse me,

567
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 2: So you know, these these these are big games, and

568
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 2: and uh, you know, I think it's they're mostly healthy.

569
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 2: Capriestaff got three weeks.

570
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 3: Off to rag.

571
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 2: You got to get themselves right back into playing the

572
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 2: way they did, you know, three weeks ago.

573
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 3: Beautiful.

Speaker 4: on the West Coast, It's a long day until tip.

594
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 4: I happened to be listening on the iHeartRadio app to

595
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 4: your conversation with b Garan, and I'm wondering these Aura

596
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 4: rings that he was talking about. Any chance we could

597
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,479
Speaker 4: get some of those shipped to into it Dome by

598
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 4: nine o'clock tonight, See Finch, Wow, see Finch.

599
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: That would be an interesting way for us, for maybe

600
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: the head coach to anticipate whose mood is off for tonight.

601
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: It's perfect. I play him fewer minutes, perfect mix in.

602
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: I check a couple of the other rings. I go,

603
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: let's up the minutes there. It might it might work.

604
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: You're exactly right, because they track everything, they do track everything,

605
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: and and then for those it in here with Karen.

606
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: He said, I you know, I got one of those rings,

607
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: and the entire day, or the entire game, gold medal game,

608
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: it showed, however, it evaluates major stress just short of

609
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: like heart attack. That was his number. That's what was

610
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: calculating to him. On the stress level all day. He

611
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: never yeah, he never had any point where he felt anything.

612
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 3: But incredibly nervous. I did think. By the way, it was.

613
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: Interesting to hear him say, all right, I figure I

614
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: get over there.

615
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 3: I've done my job already, right.

616
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: I fashioned the roster, we've got the coaches in place,

617
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: We've done all the prepping, you know, all the planning

618
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: for you know, the day schedule is all there. So

619
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: now I take a step back and let everybody do

620
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: their jobs. And I just got to detach a little bit.

621
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: And he said that lasted exactly one day. That was brilliant.

622
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: And then day two he's wait a minute, that's not me.

623
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: I got to be in the middle of everything. I

624
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: don't have to cost trouble, but I got to be

625
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: in the middle of everything. And so he was true

626
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: to himself and suddenly said, I'm gonna be down there.

627
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be around people I'm gonna be watching things.

628
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean I have to second guess every coaching decision,

629
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: every line decision, whatever the case may be. But I

630
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: thought that might have been the highlight of the interview on.

631
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 4: The Wolves, which you can hear on the TIMBERWLS channel

632
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 4: of your iHeartRadio app a little bit later tonight. Kawhi

633
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 4: Leonard and John Collins are both out tonight for the Clippers.

634
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 4: Kay Leonard obviously an important piece for the Clippers. So

635
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 4: it's going to be a schedule loss for us, is

636
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 4: what you're saying.

637
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 3: Well, here's so.

638
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 4: Johnny Athletic, though, retweets that news a minute ago and

639
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 4: says big break for the Wolves, but they often don't

640
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 4: treat it as such.

641
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's just the perfect way to say. I don't

642
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 3: even know who else is left on the Clippers. I

643
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 3: don't know, and not very many. No, I don't know.

644
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: So anyway, your guy James Harden, by the way, James

645
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: Harden playing great for Cleveland, but then he ends up

646
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: with a they're calling it a is it a displaced

647
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: fracture where he's day to day and it's on his

648
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: right hand, not his his left hand.

649
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 3: I think it's a thumb, isn't it? It sounds right.

650
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 3: Maybe it may have been a finger. I don't remember.

651
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: Uh, he's been playing great, but obviously he's gone from

652
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: the Clippers on the basis of that deal. So uh

653
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: it is a great opportunity. And we'll see what we

654
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: make of it tonight. We'll see what the like what

655
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: there the Wolves aura rings? Can can a team require

656
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: make it mandatory for players to wear an aura ring?

657
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: NBA teams probably can't. It probably has to be collectively bargained.

658
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: College teams could Those canimpult vest all time and all

659
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: fast you're moving and running. Oh yeah, you're right, they

660
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: checked your body battery. I mean, everybody science now, So

661
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: they should do the or rings that's next.

662
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 3: Or rings.

663
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, And like I said before, the fans should also

664
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 4: get a readout like ninety minutes before when the team

665
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 4: comes for their first initial warm ups and stretching and

666
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 4: all their individual work. The Timberwolves app should send an

667
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 4: alert like it does the day after somebody misses two

668
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 4: free throws and you get free Chick fil A and

669
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 4: they say, go get your free sandwich because we're bricking

670
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 4: for chicken.

671
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 3: Here, it should say or a ring levels.

672
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 4: For all the players and then you can decide I

673
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 4: want to go, yeah, I want to buy tickets like

674
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 4: that should be part of the Timberwolves app If you're

675
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 4: get called well.

676
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: Full disclosure for like you know, like you said, what

677
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: do we talking about all the time? Full transparent transparency,

678
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 1: that would be the ultimate and transparency, and then what

679
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 1: the ticket prices then also are adjusted that.

680
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 3: They should be.

681
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, if they want to know everything about it us

682
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 4: very complicated, but Carbell straight up says, we want to

683
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 4: learn more about our fans, which means we want we

684
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 4: want to know how you're going to spend every single

685
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 4: last cent you have to come watch our team. It's

686
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 4: only fair that we should get something in that transaction.

687
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 4: We should know how our players are feeling before we

688
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 4: go to Target Center.

689
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: If uh, if, how expensive would it be for the

690
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: Wolves to give out have an or a ring night

691
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: where every fan gets his his or her own Aura ring, Well,

692
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: actually they should get one to know how there the

693
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: fans are feeling.

694
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,839
Speaker 3: That's exactly that's what they say. They want to know when.

695
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 4: Someone blows by Julius Randall for the night time, or

696
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 4: nas Reed's complaining about the officials or Rudy Gobert's got

697
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 4: another flagrant one. We've got plenty more to get to.

698
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 4: We do need to stay on Scott don't want to

699
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 4: get too far behind this segment. Jgacampe and dot com

700
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 4: if you'd like to get into segment two of Doctor

701
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 4: Dan's Inbox.

702
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 1: Part two of this particular edition of a Doctor Dan's

703
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 1: Inbox back for the second consecutive week. I'm guessing it'll

704
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 1: be on hiatus next week because you'll be on conference

705
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: tournament duty a week from now.

706
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 3: Correct.

707
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: Yes, I'll either be calling a game or on the

708
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: way to call a game in Indy. The Gophers could

709
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 1: be seated anywhere from number four to number six, I believe,

710
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: depending on what happens. We already have your reservations at

711
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: Saint elmos No.

712
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 4: But you know who I heard from that wants to

713
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 4: possibly get a dreamed there is Link's assistant coach, El Whalen.

714
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 3: Is that right? Maybe doing some scouting next week and

715
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 3: any I love it. That's great.

716
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 4: So well we'll see, we'll see if it works out

717
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 4: time wise or whatever. But yeah, yeah, I'll go. I'll

718
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 4: play the role. Amos is good.

719
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: I think it is good. Yeah, yeah, And it's a

720
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: cool old place. It is, it's got some tradition to it.

721
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,479
Speaker 3: We don't need to have every event in the history

722
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:29,399
Speaker 3: of mankind there.

723
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: That's I think that's maybe the number one reason everything

724
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: is there could be anyway you were saying.

725
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 3: It's time for doctor Dear doctor Dan.

726
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 4: When I first got traded, I wasn't quite sure what

727
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 4: the future would hold. Granted, my new boss traded m Rossi,

728
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 4: l Ogrin and Ze Bullam for me as well as

729
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 4: a first round pick. That is what we call doctor

730
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 4: Dan a hall, and I know I would feel a

731
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 4: little bit guilt leaving in a year, but business is business.

732
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 3: I know.

733
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 4: B Garan's goal was to make Minnesota feel like a

734
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 4: place both myself and my brothers, especially Jay Hughes, could

735
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 4: call home. I wasn't falling for it then, but coming

736
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 4: back with a gold medal around my neck is making

737
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 4: me think that maybe my new boss knows how.

738
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 3: To put together a winner.

739
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 4: What do you think, doctor Dan Am I letting my

740
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 4: Olympic emotions get the best of me. Was this be

741
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 4: Garan's plan all along? Is he trying to build a

742
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 4: mini version of the gold medal team right here in Minnesota?

743
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,959
Speaker 3: Regards Q Hughes. Well, here's the thing.

744
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you know that that's the fantasy of your

745
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: average Minnesota Wild fan, m wild fan who might have

746
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: written that letter on Q. Hughes's behalf correct. I mean

747
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: that's the bit, right is that's we're hoping. This is

748
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: just the start. This is the old omen that opens

749
00:37:53,600 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 1: the door to all kinds of possibilities, right, and you know,

750
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: Louis is among those who thinks that it's quite possible

751
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: that that door might be open. So we'll see. It

752
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: might not be immediately, he said, but we'll see. We

753
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: didn't have time to get into this with Garon today,

754
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,879
Speaker 1: but you know we will. Well may not have time

755
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 1: because the trade deadline is it next week? I think

756
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 1: it is March sixth, so you know it's right around

757
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: the corner now.

758
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 3: But you gotta.

759
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: Believe that that Garan is a grambler gambler anyway, okay,

760
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: and he's aggressive and he's feeling it right now, so

761
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: he'll tell you, you know what he's obligated to say,

762
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 1: which is, well, I'm not going to do anything silly.

763
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if the adrenaline is going or I

764
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 1: feel like you know, I'm on a hot streak.

765
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 3: But human nature being what it is.

766
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,399
Speaker 1: With Bill Garren, you know, and I know he he

767
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: wants to put two and two together, even if there

768
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: are two completely different deals. He wants to do that.

769
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,760
Speaker 1: So what will it lead to? I have no idea.

770
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't believe when it comes to Quinnesota

771
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:10,800
Speaker 1: that this hurts the possibility that he feels further intrigued

772
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: about the possibility of, you know, extending the deal and

773
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 1: staying here long term, right knowing working with Garan, seeing

774
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: what Garan put together, living in the same building as

775
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,919
Speaker 1: Kny Caprice off, Yes, going to be sushi. What other

776
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: talent that was on this on the Olympic roster that's

777
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: part of the wild team as well.

778
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:41,760
Speaker 3: So yeah, stay tuned. It's time for a doctor in box. Dear,

779
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 3: dear doctor Dan. I saw that R.

780
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 4: Lewis was scratched from today's M Twins game out of

781
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 4: an abundance of caution after he experienced tightness in his

782
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 4: right side after running the bases pregame. Interestingly enough, I

783
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,320
Speaker 4: was scratched from service after a minor lower body injury

784
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 4: in two thousand and six in Fallujah, Iraq out of

785
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 4: an abundance of caution.

786
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 3: This from J.

787
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 4: Kriesel, Oh I missed this. Yeah, R Lewis abundance of cash.

788
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 4: He hit a home run in his first at back inger. Yeah,

789
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 4: he hit a dinger and now now he's heard again.

790
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:20,399
Speaker 3: Eh.

791
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 4: Apparently abundance of caution, abundance of coss. I also read

792
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 4: he's got a private hitting coach.

793
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 3: Yes he does. I didn't know so you could. How

794
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 3: does that work? You can do that?

795
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, you do it in the offseason. And then I

796
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: think he's not like he gets to be around all

797
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: the time, or it's not like when ze PERIZI brought

798
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: a open into practice. It's not like that. I certainly do.

799
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: Those are the days, aren't they? Those are the salad day.

800
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 3: It's not quite like that.

801
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 4: But I think he is working then in concert with

802
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 4: the actual hitting coach, saying hey, here's what we worked on, which, by.

803
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 3: The way, I think is a good thing.

804
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 4: I think it's good to I don't like when coaches

805
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 4: get territorial and are like, hey, you're this is my guy.

806
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 4: I see it all the time in kids sport I

807
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 4: saw growing up with my own. I like it's a

808
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:01,320
Speaker 4: collaborative effort.

809
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: There's limits, though, as the pere eazy story I think

810
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: laid out there's that that was a sign play well, yeah, exactly,

811
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: and that was sort of a sign of we think

812
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 1: we run this team, and that's not a healthy look

813
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: for any organization. It wouldn't be for an organization run

814
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 1: by Bill Garren. And ultimately he made that point abundantly

815
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: clear by moving him up, moving he and a suitor

816
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: out of here. But I Doctor Dana's got to admit

817
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 1: something I am. I feel as disconnected from the Twins

818
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: as I ever have.

819
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 3: I don't even care to gainst gain knowledge right now.

820
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,240
Speaker 1: And I know that's not something you're supposed to admit,

821
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: you know, in drivetime radio at a sports station, but

822
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: I just you know, all the spring trainings out you

823
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,399
Speaker 1: get to learn about this and about this game, none

824
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:53,359
Speaker 1: of it interests me right now, Zero of it interests me.

825
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: And eventually that'll change when I'm not as distracted by

826
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: other things. But as long as we've got other good

827
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,879
Speaker 1: distractions like a Winter Olympics just wrapping up, it's still

828
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: worthy of celebration. And you know, the wild back in

829
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:11,320
Speaker 1: action and the Wolves back in action on maybe maybe

830
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 1: All Star Break, maybe All Star Break for me on

831
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 1: the Twins, it's.

832
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 3: Time, that's soon, and then you go for a week,

833
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 3: and then it's Viking's training cad. That's it.

834
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 4: Actually, I kind of like that. Yeah, let's get that

835
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 4: in writing. Dear doctor Dan. I'm not usually in the

836
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 4: mood for your show, but happened to catch a segment

837
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 4: the other day. You were going on and on and

838
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 4: on and on about coaches wearing suits and how it

839
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 4: oozes professionalism and Warren's respect. Maybe a suit helps some

840
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 4: amateur coach like p Riley look like a winner, but

841
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 4: I personally don't see it, and my squad has been

842
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 4: conference runner up twice in a row.

843
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 3: Suits are overrated, doctor Dan.

844
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 4: In fact, when g Rosas fired your guy are Saunders,

845
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 4: he told me, pack your passport and your Lululemon track suit.

846
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 4: You're headed up north to Minneapolis. It is north. I

847
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 4: checked to casually coach to Timberwolves. I haven't worn a

848
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 4: suit once since, and I'm the best coach her Bipolar

849
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 4: Franchise has ever seen. But that's all I am, A

850
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 4: simple coach, doctor Dan. It's not a job interview ps.

851
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 4: What would you even wear to a job interview? I

852
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 4: wouldn't know.

853
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: Ce Finch well, you know, I would love to ask

854
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: Sea Finch that question, because I think, I mean, is

855
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: Seafinch the type? And maybe he's already answered it with

856
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: pa that he feels far more comfortable in this attire.

857
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 3: He looks good in it. I will grant you he will.

858
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 3: He wears it. Well.

859
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: He's a good looking guy, right, He's got the great

860
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,399
Speaker 1: head of hair, he got, the good he's got. He's

861
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 1: got more glasses, different kinds of glasses than I do.

862
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 3: He does every every day, every every time. In the postgame,

863
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 3: it's a new pair of glass. He's an eyebobs guy.

864
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 3: Oh is he? I don't know. I just know that

865
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 3: you know, I'm a I know you are so.

866
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 1: But maybe we come to find out he'd be perfectly

867
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:56,280
Speaker 1: fine getting the you know, the three thousand dollars suits

868
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: up back out, you know, if you can get the

869
00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:58,839
Speaker 1: right sponsorships and so forth.

870
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 3: I don't know. I I actually think he does look good.

871
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,399
Speaker 1: But I still think the p Riley Point remains, and

872
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: I'm not holding my breath that anything significant is going

873
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: to take place there. But I I think it would

874
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: be a good concept to introduce as we try to

875
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 1: make this world a little bit maybe a little more formal,

876
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 1: whether it's at the State of the Union address or

877
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 1: sidelines of an NBA game, might not be all bad

878
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:33,359
Speaker 1: for us. Decorum might not be. It wouldn't necessarily bring

879
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 1: us together, but it might slow things down a little

880
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: bit and create a little bit more civility.

881
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 3: Ready for some walkoffs, Yeah, let's do it.

882
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 4: We have a walkoff where I wish we were done

883
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 4: at six thirty, but we're going to have to come back, Okayable,

884
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 4: you're not sure if I shared my newest test this year,

885
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,479
Speaker 4: we are playing free bird while having the players race

886
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 4: a ball eagle. It's called the patriotism test, and some

887
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 4: have excelled. I know that Jay McCarthy nay nine would

888
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 4: have been near the top.

889
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 3: That from m wexler.

890
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 1: An you want to add, Yeah, but we haven't even

891
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 1: talked about the whole free bird thing, right. That became

892
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: kind of the anthem. It's been the anthem. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

893
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 1: it's it's a great song. It is.

894
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 3: It's terrific song. Dear Doc.

895
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 4: We'd play it if we could, Dear Doctor Dan. I

896
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 4: had a bunch of miscalls on my phone when I

897
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 4: got back to the States from this number. I just

898
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 4: have one question new phone? Who dissed that? From m Russo?

899
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:39,480

Speaker 4: Did you see how much beer we had and it

905
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 4: went all night? Do you know where the hottest DJ's

906
00:45:59,200 --> 00:45:59,680

Speaker 3: Play? I do?

908
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 4: It was a rager man, and I'm not even an athlete,

909
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 4: but I was keeping up. Did you see I have

912

Speaker 4: into the White House. They like beer, right. It was

913
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 4: epic ps. I think crime is down too, and it's

914
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,799
Speaker 4: not like they invited me in. I have keys to

915
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 4: almost everywhere this We got a lot of letters from

916
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 4: this individual, but I thought we would read this one

917
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 4: from k Patel.

918
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,400

920
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,439

921
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:39,280
Speaker 1: from the ones I have saved.

922
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:57,320
Speaker 3: That's my promise. Between now and six thirty, man.

Speaker 3: and feelings.

929
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:34,399
Speaker 1: I'm standing and we expect level who sent a text

930
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: to both of us earlier when we were talking about

931
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 1: the big news out of the Tampa airport in which

932
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 1: they claimed they were going to start they want to

933
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 1: encourage the notion of banning passengers from wearing pjs. Yes,

934
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 1: they've already banned crocs, is the way they put it.

935
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:56,279
Speaker 1: And Lavel, being the literalist, the twitteralist that he is,

936
00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 1: wanted to know how they actually make that termination on

937
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 1: the crocs.

938
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 3: Do you think he really believes.

939
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 1: That if you wear crocs you're not allowed into the

940
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:08,760
Speaker 1: airport terminal?

941
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 3: Maybe he does. We'll have to ask him tomorrow.

942
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:13,840
Speaker 1: They will ask him tomorrow because they because I almost

943
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:15,879
Speaker 1: felt like maybe he believed it. So I don't really

944
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 1: think you could prohibit it. I think that I don't.

945
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 1: Is to class it up, Yeah, class it up a

946
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,280
Speaker 1: little bit, and maybe it'll maybe it'll spread.

947
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:25,399
Speaker 4: We did get a funny text earlier to the Brad

948
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 4: Sehan Brian Kavan text one six four six eight six.

949
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 4: You were wondering if AI could eventually take over Oh yes,

950
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:35,799
Speaker 4: the TS show host roll. Yeah, the texture said for

951
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 4: the tasteless box of mashed potatoes, easily for you with

952
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 4: enough information, and you know it could be done.

953
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 3: The more that you talk to AI, the more it

954
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 3: learns about you. Yeah, you could do it.

955
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 1: But the texter said for Lavelle, no chance, because nobody

956
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:50,360
Speaker 1: ever knows what's happening.

957
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 4: True original. I think it a good compliment. That is,

958
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:55,799
Speaker 4: that is and also part of the reason why we

959
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 4: have wobble bing. That's that's got a lot to do

960
00:48:57,760 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 4: with that. There's no question about that.

961
00:48:59,400 --> 00:48:59,919
Speaker 3: A good stuff.

962
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: Billy Garren, if you missed that, that was between three

963
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,319
Speaker 1: point thirty and about four h five covered a lot

964
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 1: of ground with him. Russo, a very passionate Russo at

965
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:16,879
Speaker 1: at five o'clock. I got a kick out of one

966
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: of the tweets in reaction to the Russo appearance. Let

967
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: me see if I can find it. Thank you, Russo

968
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 1: Hockey for your common sense analysis this afternoon. Barrero tried

969
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 1: to bait you into bashing the Potus. As usual, common

970
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 1: sense prevails, and I had to say gently that in fact,

971
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:44,760
Speaker 1: I didn't have to bait Russo Hockey into anything regarding

972
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 1: the President. In fact, he brought up the belief that

973
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 1: there was every reason to be bothered by the Trump joke.

974
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:57,880
Speaker 1: The pushback from Russo had more to do with the

975
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 1: criticism aimed at the players on the basis of their

976
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:07,879
Speaker 1: nervous laughter to the sophomoric, misogynist joke that he made.

977
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:11,439
Speaker 1: But that falls into the classification of you. You hear,

978
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 1: I guess what you want to It's like, it's just

979
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: huge the whole discussion, and we were pretty much this

980
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 1: was my point again yesterday, Ruster and I pretty much

981
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 1: on the same page. Had more to do with the

982
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 1: players than it did in any way, shape or form

983
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: trying to defend the president. Oh, hang on a second,

984
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:37,880
Speaker 1: speaking of that breaking news, getting the band back together

985
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 1: for your Minnesota Timberwolves, not Carl Anthony Towns.

986
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 3: He's worth a segment tomorrow.

987
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 1: By the way, Cat, I know the stuff on the

988
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:52,760
Speaker 1: Towns is effectively buried in New York, but anyway, go ahead,

989
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 1: your guy slow Molo's back Kyle Anderson has agreed to

990
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 1: a contract bio with the Grizz and plans to sign

991
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:04,720
Speaker 1: to Minnesota Timberwolves after clearing waivers.

992
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:06,359
Speaker 3: This is a sham's bomb. It was.

993
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:10,319
Speaker 4: I'm sure Johnny confirmed it as well. I just saw

994
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:13,879
Speaker 4: it on Twitter from Chris Hines Star Tribune. And so

995
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:16,759
Speaker 4: he is coming back slow the ultimate he does.

996
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 3: He has.

997
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 4: He played much this year. I don't even know he

998
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 4: played a little and then didn't for it. But I

999
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:26,440
Speaker 4: don't know for sure. But he's the ultimate Finchy security blanket,

1000
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 4: is he not? He loves Yeah, he has, but he

1001
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:29,280
Speaker 4: loves Kyle.

1002
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:31,839
Speaker 1: The question is always you know, at some point you're

1003
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:33,360
Speaker 1: just not as effective a player.

1004
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 3: I was still hoping. So that's our last spot.

1005
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 1: So that pretty much means one of the there are

1006
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 1: several scorers that allegedly might be available there, we're not

1007
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 1: going to get any of those that because this is

1008
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 1: I think I think we had one spot open. You're right,

1009
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 1: So unless there's something else we can do uh later

1010
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 1: that that might be the extent of it. I was

1011
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 1: actually hoping we could get another player could score a few.

1012
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 1: But you know, we all love SloMo. I just don't

1013
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 1: know at this point what he has left. We'll give

1014
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 1: you a couple of mid rangers, a couple of midies.

1015
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 3: You know what.

1016
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 1: I'll save what I was going to go to because

1017
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:08,520
Speaker 1: it's already nine after. We did talk extensively about a

1018
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 1: very difficult subject, the subject of suicide. And it came

1019
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:15,839
Speaker 1: up because we're still bouncing off of the tragic news

1020
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:19,759
Speaker 1: regarding Vikings receiver Rondell Moore. He had a one year

1021
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 1: contract with the team a year ago, one of those

1022
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 1: kind of a make good deals, and he immediately got

1023
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 1: hurt in the first preseason game on a kickoff return

1024
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 1: and had still been rehabbing.

1025
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 3: And so we opened up.

1026
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:35,680
Speaker 1: The door to that subject through that story, and frankly

1027
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:40,279
Speaker 1: a couple of others as well that are dealing with

1028
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:45,439
Speaker 1: the with the same issue. Catherine Short, Martin Short's daughter

1029
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 1: at the age of forty two, and I had gotten

1030
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 1: a text over the weekend from an individual telling a

1031
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:53,360
Speaker 1: story about a friend. And we had a lot of

1032
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:55,720
Speaker 1: good texts that came in on the difficulty of the subject.

1033
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 3: And one of the things.

1034
00:52:56,760 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 1: I was curious about was the aftermath the trauma for

1035
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:09,240
Speaker 1: relatives for mother's daughter. I should say, mother's fathers, et cetera.

1036
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 1: And it can go the other way. I guess it

1037
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:13,319
Speaker 1: can be your father, It can be your mother as well.

1038
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 1: The people who are left behind in a situation like that,

1039
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 1: how do you cope with that? How do you do

1040
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 1: you have to compartmentalize it? Do you have to sort

1041
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:27,360
Speaker 1: of constantly have it over your shoulder? And how do

1042
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: you go about the business of going on with your

1043
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 1: with your lives? And we got a lot of good

1044
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 1: texts about that. In addition, we got this one. Social

1045
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 1: media adds to the complexity our youth. Our youth are

1046
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:44,239
Speaker 1: the most visible, least connected generation in history. Chronic isolation

1047
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:49,319
Speaker 1: and unobtainable expectations make it more problematic than people realize.

1048
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:51,920
Speaker 3: Thanks for giving this some time. You guys are the best.

1049
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:53,319
Speaker 2: Dan.

1050
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 1: We lost my little brother and his girlfriend in a

1051
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 1: bad carrac five years ago. The pain doesn't go away,

1052
00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 1: you just get more used to it. Rest in peace,

1053
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 1: Joe and Remy Joe from VIMIDGI. Now that I did

1054
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 1: bring up the subject of this loss of loved ones relatives,

1055
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 1: there's another whole layer to it, obviously when it involves

1056
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 1: suicide as well. Carl from Minneapolis writes, thanks for this conversation.

1057
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 1: My sister has found dead, buried under a pile of

1058
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 1: boxes in Milwaukee in two thousand and eight. Corner never

1059
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 1: found a clear cause. She led a hard life, but

1060
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 1: the not knowing who left her there and how she

1061
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:34,719
Speaker 1: died has haunted me and her children pretty much.

1062
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:37,360
Speaker 3: Ever since.

1063
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:42,439
Speaker 1: And a couple more, I helped coach a sport hockey

1064
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 1: team who ran an out of town tournament at a hotel.

1065
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 1: I was talking to one of the dads by the pool.

1066
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:49,800
Speaker 1: The next day when he got home, he shot himself.

1067
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 1: I had a hard time with it because I had

1068
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 1: just spoken with him the day before and he seemed

1069
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 1: fine to me. I was talking to one of the

1070
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,799
Speaker 1: other dads and he summarized it well. He said, the

1071
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 1: blast radius of something like this is immeasurable, and that.

1072
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 3: Is a good way to put it.

1073
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 1: It's a tough way to put it, but it's a

1074
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:09,759
Speaker 1: fair way to put it as well. Lost multiple friends young,

1075
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 1: one due to alcoholism, one to suicide.

1076
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 3: Hard to understand why anyone would do themselves harm.

1077
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 1: However, if you've never struggled with major depressive disorder, it

1078
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 1: is hard to understand why someone would harm themselves, and

1079
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 1: that's the issue. If you haven't struggled with that, it

1080
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,880
Speaker 1: seems impossible. But if you have, or if you've been

1081
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 1: around people who have, I think it becomes sadly a

1082
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:37,440
Speaker 1: lot more understandable, but still has to be very difficult.

1083
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 1: It's got to be there somewhere lurking all the time.

1084
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:45,240
Speaker 1: And I can't imagine the challenges of that, but obviously

1085
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:47,319
Speaker 1: lots of people do it, and they figure out how

1086
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 1: to move on and still try to pay respect to

1087
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: those that they have lost as well. But that kind

1088
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 1: of loss has to be incalculable, and how you deal

1089
00:55:57,200 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 1: with it just adds to the the tragedy of it

1090
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:06,359
Speaker 1: and the challenges related to it as well. Let's wrap

1091
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 1: up the program one more quick pause and will remind

1092
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 1: you what we have coming up tonight on the fan,

1093
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:12,360
Speaker 1: and it might just be hockey related.

1094
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:17,239
Speaker 4: State Show rap is presented by American Pressure commercial grade

1095
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:19,479
Speaker 4: pressure washers since nineteen seventy five.

1096
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 1: It's the Bumper to Bumper Show rapes.

1097
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:33,239
Speaker 4: Today the twenty sixth, say six.

1098
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 1: Okay, I am very dubious of this report, but I'll

1099
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 1: read it to you. This is via Pro Footballtalk dot Com.

1100
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: Vikings Executive EP Rob Brazinski, who is handling the general

1101
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 1: manager duties for now, said earlier this week the team

1102
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 1: would explore all their options at quarterback. One of those

1103
00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 1: options is Anthony Richardson. Cameron Wolf of NFL Media reports

1104
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 1: that the Vikings and Richardson have quote mutual interest.

1105
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:05,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did see this.

1106
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:10,320
Speaker 1: The Cults are given Richardson permission to seek a trade.

1107
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 1: I would be beyond gobsmacked, and I would say very

1108
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 1: I would be very negative on the notion of adding

1109
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 1: another young still hasn't figured it out quarterback. We all,

1110
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 1: isn't one of those enough? Are you really going to

1111
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 1: bring in another one who largely represents the same thing

1112
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 1: and as frankly been even more injury prone than JJ McCarthy.

1113
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 1: I mean, what if you're gonna have another guy, You

1114
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 1: got to have a guy who represents something different. Now,

1115
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 1: if you didn't have JJ, I'd say, okay, well, then

1116
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:48,880
Speaker 1: maybe you want one young guy that you think you

1117
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:49,440
Speaker 1: can get.

1118
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:49,920
Speaker 3: Something out of it.

1119
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 1: Arnold and we saw he we know KOC loved him.

1120
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 1: He hugged and we're happy for the hug and all

1121
00:57:56,680 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 1: those things. But I would be God, we'll talk about

1122
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 1: with guestling tomorrow. I'd be very surprised, I would, given

1123
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 1: McCarthy is already here.

1124
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 3: That's too much of the same thing.

1125
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 4: That's not what dan Orlowski was talking about today. No, definitely,

1126
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 4: he said, this is what you need. We don't need

1127
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 4: another one. To use Koc's parlance. Early in their quarterback journey,

1128
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 4: exactly along in their quarterback journey, I think.

1129
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 1: Now again, I mean, he thinks a lot of his quarterback,

1130
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 1: but maybe he said, no, this guy's different, this guy's different,

1131
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:28,439
Speaker 1: this guy's talent blows away the last blows away JJ.

1132
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 3: I'm bored with JJ.

1133
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 1: Now, I would be it's a good angle, and there

1134
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 1: is some connection in the past, and there's that beautiful

1135
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 1: we're all about, whether it's the hockey situation or this.

1136
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 1: If we got a picture or a video that that

1137
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 1: that shows what we think we want it to show,

1138
00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 1: it'll get oxygen, it will get playing time, it will

1139
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 1: get plenty of attention. In this case, if that shot

1140
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 1: of him is he hugged, I think he's hugging Richardson

1141
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 1: and he's like whispering in his ears.

1142
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 4: Quarterback whispery yes, who didn't play in the game, that

1143
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 4: he's talking about it was your guy, the old guy,

1144
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 4: wasn't it. Flacco is consoling basically a bench Anthony Richardson, Yeah,

1145
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 4: and then afterwards saying, I love him coming out. I

1146
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:18,600
Speaker 4: got to work with them on the grass, and everybody's

1147
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 4: quarterback journey's different.

1148
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 1: I think the words that he said to Richardson, he

1149
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 1: whispered to him, was ridiculous that you're they're playing Flacco

1150
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 1: ahead of his son. He's older than I love to

1151
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 1: have a chance to work with you. I think that

1152
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 1: was it, Yeah, something like that. Yes, we do know

1153
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:35,960
Speaker 1: Kyle Anderson is back. We did report that guards He

1154
00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 1: even played the breaking news sounder last segment. It's the

1155
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 1: return of a very popular timberwol Slow moll. We're bringing

1156
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 1: all the old guys back except Kat for now. Cat

1157
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 1: might be available for past the trade deadline up, but

1158
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 1: how many years as you have left on his super Max.

1159
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:53,360
Speaker 1: We could get him at a Barner's a few years.

1160
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 1: Here's your your cat nugget. That should lead to a

1161
00:59:56,440 --> 01:00:00,920
Speaker 1: larger discussion, maybe even as soon as tomorrow. He is

1162
01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 1: averaging the fewest shots per game of his career, either.

1163
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 3: This year or second.

1164
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 1: This is like second lowest he is an afterthought, and

1165
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 1: look at his numbers. He's still no, he's still shooting

1166
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 1: over fifty percent from the war that's what I mean

1167
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:25,919
Speaker 1: for from three and about ninety percent from the free

1168
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:26,439
Speaker 1: throw line.

1169
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 3: So we can't get the ball.

1170
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:30,640
Speaker 1: Now, some of that you can argue is on him,

1171
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 1: the old be assertive, be meaner. That's that was the

1172
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 1: big cat, I should say, shot criticism of the other

1173
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:42,240
Speaker 1: day on the formerly known as TNT broadcast, which was

1174
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:44,920
Speaker 1: you're too nice. You gotta get angrier, you got to

1175
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:48,120
Speaker 1: demand the ball, And there's some truth to that. But

1176
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:50,920
Speaker 1: if you have a point guard who loves to shoot,

1177
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what your chances are to make that happen.

1178
01:00:55,280 --> 01:01:03,640
Speaker 1: So we'll explore that in more detail on tomorrow's broadcast. Also,

1179
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 1: I mentioned no picks tomorrow, right, there's really nothing to I'll.

1180
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 3: Know what we would picked to predict. At this point.

1181
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 1: It's always I mean, it's always good to catch up

1182
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 1: with Gerby, but then sometimes it's good to get a

1183
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 1: vacation from him too. Don't you think I think it's

1184
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 1: good A mutual uncoupling is good. Yeah, I think that

1185
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:21,120
Speaker 1: might make a lot of sense. So we got wild

1186
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:25,640
Speaker 1: tonight on the fan. They're back against the Colorado Avalanche.

1187
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 1: What times pregame? I believe eight, eight pm Central, three

1188
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 1: o'clock puck drop all the action right here on. I

1189
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 1: really do think that now that we're after post Olympics,

1190
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:43,840
Speaker 1: it's time for falling us to up the antie. It

1191
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 1: should be thirty minutes minimum, and it should be an

1192
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:49,960
Speaker 1: hour post game because now we're going for it, We're

1193
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 1: going after it.

1194
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 3: That's a lot of fonness, though. Trust we're gonna get

1195
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 3: enough fallness during the playoff night, especially if they make

1196
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 3: a run. That's not a bad that's not a bad point.

1197
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 1: And we'll find out tomorrow much Kyle Anderson has played,

1198
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 1: because I have no idea. Memphis is that where he

1199
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:10,320
Speaker 1: was most reasons correct. What's got to be delightful for him? Yes, right,

1200
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 1: you would think. I mean he's he's back with a

1201
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 1: team that's got some relevance. Memphis is just a mess, right,

1202
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:20,560
Speaker 1: They're unloading players. They got nothing to look forward to there.

1203
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 3: How old is SlowMo is not as old as Conny is.

1204
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:28,720
Speaker 3: He can't, No, he's not. I'll look at I want

1205
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 3: to say he might be mid thirties.

1206
01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:36,480
Speaker 1: But the charm of SloMo is obviously the old No

1207
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 1: matter how old and slow he looks, he still seems

1208
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:43,880
Speaker 1: to find a way to be effective. Smart player, doesn't

1209
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 1: waste any you know, movement just you know point a

1210
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:52,280
Speaker 1: well actually does. He's he's very deliberate sometimes when he

1211
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:53,680
Speaker 1: gets into that shooting motion.

1212
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 3: Very That's why they call him Sloman. That's why they

1213
01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 3: call him SloMo.

1214
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 1: That part of his is true, as he's not played

1215
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:02,120
Speaker 1: in the last three game. To remind folks, Kawhi Leonard

1216
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 1: out for the Clippers. You said two guys out.

1217
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:06,680
Speaker 3: John Collins is out too.

1218
01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:11,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, so again, a terrific opportunity for your favorite basketball team.

1219
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 1: They did, They did eke out of victory against Portland,

1220
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:19,520
Speaker 1: who is missing their best player. But nevertheless, you have

1221
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 1: a chance to maybe make some make some hay and

1222
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:24,880
Speaker 1: then you prepare for a showdown game against the hated

1223
01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:26,800
Speaker 1: Denver Nuggets.

1224
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 3: Correct MVP st us all.

1225
01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:31,880
Speaker 1: In question because nobody's gonna have the right number of

1226
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:32,920
Speaker 1: games of the big names.

1227
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:34,560
Speaker 3: More on that tomorrow three o'clock
