Speaker 2: Should have ignored it. Not that big of a deal.

13
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: So I wonder where he went? What was uh? I

14
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: wonder when he left? Wow, guy's been gone. Well they

15
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: got video everywhere, don't they. There's got to be a

16
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 2: way to trace his steps if you want to. The airport,

17
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 2: Absolutely right, Absolutely? What's the old common used to talk

24
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: shut up about fraud. Everybody's already been prosecuted. There's nothing

25
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: else left to say. It's a nothing burger. That's quite

Speaker 2: text line.

28
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 3: I think the phrase I've enjoyed the last ten years

29
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 3: the most is nothing burger.

30
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: You love that one.

31
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 3: It's really gone on a different level to actually become

32
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 3: an annoying cliche. Well, that's what I mean. When I

33
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 3: say I love it, I mean yeah. You don't mean

34
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 3: it literally. We've heard it for Yes. Basically, I'm surprised

35
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 3: used it. I apologize really for Yeah. But it's it's omnipresent.

36
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 3: It's omnipresent. And by the way, that song, what was

37
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 3: the song, well, garden party. I think it's the name

38
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 3: of the Yeah, I went to a garden party. It's

39
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 3: a great it's a good song. It's a really good song.

40
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: For a minute, I thought you were going with if

41
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: you can't be with the one you love? That's different.

42
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 2: Love the one you're with. Yeah, that's Crosby, Stills, Nash

43
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: and Young. That's a good song. That's an outstanding song.

44
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 3: Wild We're in a great, uh great spot. Last night

45
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 3: they were up three one.

46
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: Man, I was so excited at three one, weren't you else? What?

47
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: Then they tie it and I'm going, okay, here, the

48
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 2: next goal wins it. I really believe the next goal

49
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: was going to win it. Yeah, I mean we went

50
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 2: back ahead. I want they're hanging, they're not saying, all right,

51
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: we made it interesting. Now we've got to curl up

52
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: because that's what we're supposed to do. But we could

53
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 2: not hold onto it. I think about all the big

54
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: Knocker plays. The Hues giving goal was Zookie, majestic, breathtaking,

55
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: the back door pass from Boldie to Caprice off magic

56
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: thing of beauty, wonderful, I mean, just symphonic, high end.

57
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: Remember the days, ticky taka eyes, That's what I'm saying.

58
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 2: I want remember the days when not even just like

59
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 2: the Lamaire era where we had to grind it out

60
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: and hope that we got the puck. Luck.

61
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have to, you know, play our structure and

62
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 3: play our system and helped them to one exactly now,

63
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 3: we're just flying all over the place. We had three

64
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: power play goals, and the power plays lasted a total

65
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 3: of like nine seconds power play for the Why oh

66
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 3: they scored. That's how efficient we were. But fortunately you

67
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 3: got to play on the other end as well, and

68
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 3: they were a lot more efficient. They were because I

69
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 3: think they had like twelve shots on goal.

70
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned that earlier. I want to get the actual.

71
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 2: That's a little exaggeration, but not by not by much.

72
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 3: The wild loss by the way, in case you're wondering,

73
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 3: Gus Buss only made fifteen saves and we lost what

74
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 3: was the final five to four, So do the math.

75
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 2: He only faced twenty shots and they lose.

76
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 3: They were in a great spot being up three to one,

77
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 3: being up four to three. But Robertson, who Bill Garon

78
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 3: didn't need for the Olympic team, which that will be

79
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 3: a huge story next.

80
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: Week, be the main story out of Dallas. I remember,

81
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 2: and tell me though they've got some new injuries. Was

82
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: it from last night? One of them? For sure? Let

83
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 2: me pull that up because I wasn't prepared for that.

84
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 3: Carl and Cottage Grove is complaining that there's been too

85
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 3: much puck talk today. There Again, the other side of

86
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 3: it is we never talk enough hockey, and now every

87
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: story you end up running the full gamut via the

88
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 3: text line.

89
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 2: That's the beauty. I just appreciate everybody that's listening for

90
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: three and a half hours. I'm with you. I agree

91
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: on that for sure. By the way, we should have

92
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 2: next week.

93
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 3: You know, we'll do playoff previews for both for the

94
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 3: Wild and the Wolves obviously, so they're both starting next weekend, yes, exactly.

95
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 3: And Tim Kalishaw, of course, your buddy from Dallas. To

96
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 3: include him on Around the Horn anymore because that he's

97
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 3: not doing the afternoon radio anymore. She's got no excuse

98
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 3: not to come. He's available. But he brought up the

99
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 3: robertson Bill Garran thing last time he was on, when

100
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 3: he came out and talked about Kyler Murray so Kshaw.

101
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 3: By the way, he is a huge hockey guy. Despite

102
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 3: his roots with say I think we're Oklahoma, he is

103
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 3: a massive He's always been a huge hockey guy, more

104
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 3: than more than any other sport. Maybe, well you got

105
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,239
Speaker 3: in football, you got to do Cowboys obviously based at Dallas.

106
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 3: But yeah, we're gonna put everybody on next week. Correct,

107
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 3: that's the plan. I think we have to Yeah, we do,

108
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 3: is it? Heiskanen? He was the guy who was hurt yesterday,

109
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 3: had an MRI. Today he's basically day to day. It's

110
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 3: nothing crazy from what I've gathered. And let me give

111
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 3: you the other bit. Hints they're hoping to have back

112
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 3: at some point during the first series, but not sure

113
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 3: if he's going to be available for the first game

114
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 3: against the Minnesota Wild And we're relatively healthy. Correct, Yeah,

115
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 3: he left last night but then came back. He got

116
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 3: something on his cheek and they came back with a

117
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 3: full shield.

118
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 2: Now did you see the meme that went out yesterday

119
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 2: related to Lebron James. I don't know, did I so?

120
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 2: Lebron James goes up. I don't know. If he collides

121
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 2: with a teammate or somebody on the other team whoever

122
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 2: the Lakers were playing, and he comes down as if

123
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: he's been killed, doubled over, wincing in pain. Yeah, teammates

124
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 2: come over to it to tend to him. And according

125
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 2: to the meme, the injury was he tore a fingernail. Now,

126
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 2: if that's true, and I couldn't tell if that was

127
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 2: satirical or not. But you can imagine what the hockey

128
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 2: community will do once they get their hands on that.

129
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 3: It's tough, right, yes, because Lebron I don't have to

130
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 3: imagine that.

131
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 2: I know well.

132
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 3: Lebron has always he has always been kind of from

133
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 3: the the Paul Pierce school of injury milking. Is he

134
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 3: not the theatrics of it?

135
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, which doesn't take away from the fact

136
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 2: that he's obviously one of the probably two or three

137
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 2: greatest players in the history of the game. His his

138
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 2: you know, numbers and performances speak for themselves, but he

139
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 2: has had a little of that in them, right, There's

140
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 2: no question. So somebody can check if there was an

141
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: actual just hangnail or a fingernail got torn or they're

142
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 2: actually they were kidding and it was it was something

143
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 2: more serious.

144
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 3: Is it too much to ask that the Lakers can

145
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 3: just jump the Nuggets to get to the three spot?

146
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 3: They are a game behind him, So is Houston like

147
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 3: we're locked in at to six? I mean, there's nothing

148
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 3: we can do.

149
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 2: As I don't think you can rule anything out at

150
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: this point because I don't know how any of these

151
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: teams are playing these games you know, I really don't. Well,

152
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 2: like the Nuggets have the thunder tonight, right, Although I

153
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: think Sga is out tonight, I think I saw that.

154
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: I'm not exactly sure. Okay, I'm pretty sure.

155
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 3: He's out at my meaning they only win by twenty

156
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 3: instead of forty the thunder, Yeah, I mean that they

157
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 3: although he's the guy they missed the most, obviously, but

158
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 3: they And then who does Denver have after that? Let

159
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 3: me just I think Denver's got san Antonio Davie. They do, Yeah,

160
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 3: they do, but Wemby probably yeah, who knows? Yeah, those

161
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 3: a tough one possible.

162
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:22,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right to handicap this because of injury load

163
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 2: management that I think is acceptable among most fans this

164
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 2: time of year, when you're down the last two games

165
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 2: heading into the playoffs. So is it impossible that somebody

166
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 2: else ends up at three? No, I don't think it is.

167
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: But it's impossible for us to move from six. Correct,

168
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 2: we are stuck at number six.

169
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 3: Anthony Edwards John Krasinski five hours ago says I expect

170
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 3: him to play. He's been officially listed as questionable for

171
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 3: tonight's game against the Houston Rockets.

172
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 2: Gun Belt tight Bill, If you ever go to Houston,

173
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: got to walk right, got to keep your hands deep

174
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 2: in your pocket and your gun belt tight.

175
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 3: I would assume who is available with his right calf

176
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 3: injury maintenance. Randall is out, Bones Hiland is out, Rudy

177
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 3: Gobay is out. Nasried also listed as questionable with his

178
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 3: right shoulder injury maintenance, but a game after getting Jaden

179
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 3: McDaniels back in the lineup after his knee problem, Anthony

180
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 3: Edwards is expected to play tonight. Well, I'm Kevin Garnett's

181
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 3: here on Sunday. I'm guessing that falls under the classification

182
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 3: of we want him to get.

183
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 2: His feet wet a little bit. We win. We just

184
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: want to get him back out there just for And

185
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 2: my guess is he's not gonna play heavy minutes, but

186
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 2: we want to get get him back in the flow

187
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,719
Speaker 2: just a bit. Somebody is saying that the Thunder is

188
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 2: sitting nine players tonight. That could be true. Well, how

189
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 2: do you do that? I mean, is that enough to

190
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 2: feel the team? Yeah? I mean he calls some people

191
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 2: up from here. I guess I.

192
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 3: Would suppose. I'm not sure the hottest even baseball.

193
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 2: But by the way, is there winning streak still intact?

194
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 2: Is it like six or seven in a row. I

195
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 2: just clicked off of that. Give me a second. I

196
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: think they Yeah, I mean they they And what's funny

197
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 2: is they went from the team everybody wants to play

198
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 2: to now a team that seems to be getting hot

199
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 2: at the at the right moment. We're gonna have plenty

200
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 2: of time to get into this next week. Yep. Denver

201
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: is fascinating because most of the purists who watch more

202
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 2: Denver basketball than I do say that they don't guard anybody,

203
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 2: that this is a much inferior defensive team to the

204
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,719
Speaker 2: Denver team that won the title a few years ago.

205
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 2: They are also incredibly good offensively, especially when they have

206
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 2: everybody healthy. So can they literally just outscore people? Because

207
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 2: I don't think you can turn things on defensively in

208
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 2: the postseason if that's not been part of your DNA

209
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: for much of the season. But we know who they have,

210
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 2: and we know they have you know, if you have Joker,

211
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 2: you're hell. They almost I mean, they took Oklahoma City

212
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 2: to seven games last ye and they weren't even that

213
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,599
Speaker 2: good that last year or that deep they and so

214
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 2: they're they're very dangerous. I like to think we can

215
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: guard better and make it a little tougher for them

216
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 2: that they can make it on us. But then that

217
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 2: assumes that our offense is in working shape, and I

218
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 2: don't even know that we can necessarily count on.

219
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 3: That team that nobody wants to play is in Toronto tonight.

220
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 3: I'm talking about your Minnesota Twins, riding high off a

221
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 3: four game win streak. They are above five hundred for

222
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 3: the first time since last June. I think Aaron Gleeman

223
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,599
Speaker 3: mentioned it, among others that since the last time the

224
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 3: Twins were above five hundred, Minnesota played one hundred baseball games,

225
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 3: and they were They won like thirty three of them

226
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 3: or thirty seven of them. They were maybe the worst

227
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 3: team in baseball through that one hundred games. But all

228
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 3: that's in the rearview mirror now. And Simeon Woods Richardson

229
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 3: will oppose Patrick Corbin tonight in Toronto, about fifty minutes

230
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 3: from now, Blue Jay as you say, in Toronto, Yes,

231
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 3: Blue Jays are five and seven on the season. Okay,

232
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 3: I know nothing about them either neither, so we'll see

233
00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 3: where it goes.

234
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 2: Who's in the mountain Richardson, Simeon Woods Richardson, Okay, fair enough,

235
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 2: he can be plucky at times. We've had good We've

236
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: had very I think good to very good pitching. We'll

237
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 2: see how long that we can. I mean, we got

238
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 2: a long way to go to match our winning streak

239
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 2: of a year ago, which was thirteen So before we

240
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 2: get two celebratory we won thirteen games in a row

241
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 2: last year and at the end of the season the

242
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 2: manager was fired. So what it reminds you of Of all

243
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 2: the grinds, baseball is the grindiest, and that makes it.

244
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 2: I mean, let's face it. Part of why this stands out,

245
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 2: the four game sweep is expectations are as low as

246
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 2: they are and there was no reason to think anything

247
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 2: good was going to happen. And in fact, the first

248
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 2: three series, nothing good happened. We lost all three series

249
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 2: two games to one.

250
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 3: Your Round one leader continues to lead at Augusta. Rory

251
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 3: McElroy was five under yesterday. He is four under through

252
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 3: fifteen today. I can do that, matth He's nine under

253
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 3: part for the championship. Leads Patrick Reid by two strokes.

254
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 3: The other co leader, Sam Burns, is a couple of

255
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 3: shots back at six under, par as is Tommy Fleetwood.

256
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 2: Justin Rose and Shane Lowry. We five under do we

257
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 2: know whether Tiger Woods has already left the country. Those

258
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 2: were the rumors that his private plane had been attracked

259
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 2: to somewhere Okay, yeah, to where allegedly it was going

260
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 2: to be a rehab place, a far away from the

261
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 2: media jackals, at least the ones in this country, with

262
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: his privacy. That's it exactly right, fair enough. So there's

263
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 2: your top five. There it is. We've got double t

264
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 2: Trent Tucker a lot to catch up on with him.

265
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 2: He is scheduled for five point thirty. Let's get back

266
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 2: to some misadventures at the Minneapolis City Council. Kind of

267
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 2: a follow up when we.

268
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 3: Return Double Tea in about ten or fifteen minutes on

269
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 3: this very special edition of The Friday Football Beast in

270
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 3: which there's been almost no football conversation, but The Beast

271
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 3: remains the only year round football program on this station

272
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 3: on Fridays.

273
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I talked to Draft with Alec Lewis today

274
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 2: after password. Does that count? The Feast is part time.

275
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 2: The Friday Football Feast is wonderful, but it's part time.

276
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 2: The Beast never never sleeps all twelve months of the

277
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 2: calendar year. A couple texts six to one to two.

278
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 2: Guy writes, it's not about prosecuting, It's not about catching them,

279
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 2: it's about not making the improper disbursement in the first place.

280
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 2: There's no way for a profit entity that a profit

281
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 2: entity would allow a stream and payments of this magnitude

282
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 2: without evidence of the validity of the disbursement. But this

283
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 2: is the government. All they have to do is taxes more.

284
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 2: Why is there not more talk about the missing and

285
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 2: needed internal controls. That's been nothing but our conversation when

286
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 2: I talk about the conditions that exist that were in place.

287
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 3: To make it as easy as it turned out to

288
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 3: be to steal billions of dollars from the state of Minnesota.

289
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 3: That's what we are talking about. That's what we have emphasized.

290
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 2: Obviously, if you can't get to it, then you want

291
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 2: at least accountability in the back end and the individuals

292
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 2: who actually did the stealing to be prosecuted. But it's

293
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 2: the systems that failed that we've talked about. We've quoted

294
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 2: op ed pieces from individuals who have laid out the

295
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 2: history of recent regimes, but especially the last five or

296
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 2: six years in this regard. That is the story there's

297
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 2: no question about that. That's a very significant part of

298
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 2: the story as well. Please keep me anonymous this time,

299
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 2: writes a Texter. I am a State of Minnesota employee,

300
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 2: and the neptitude that I've witnessed to stunning. The state

301
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 2: is terrified of being sued for even the appearance of discrimination.

302
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 2: They routinely hire people who are clearly qualified to avoid

303
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 2: a lawsuit. I'm hanging on until retirement and then i

304
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 2: will speak freely. I have no idea about this individual's experience,

305
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 2: but we have it on the record. We know, oh

306
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 2: that a lot of the inability that the people who

307
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 2: wanted to ask questions were often told to shut up

308
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 2: because of the concern about the appearance of discrimination, charges

309
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: of racism. That's on the record. There's not much much

310
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 2: question about it. Andy Lueger is among the among others,

311
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 2: has confirmed that aspect of the story. And you can,

312
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 2: for me draw a direct line between that, because that

313
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 2: is that led to some of the conditions being as

314
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 2: permissive as they were, because anybody who wanted to raise

315
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 2: their hands said well, well, well wait a minute, this

316
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: doesn't add up. If you're immediately said well you you

317
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 2: want to keep going with that we'll call you out,

318
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 2: and we'll call you out on race grounds. Well you what,

319
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 2: what do most people do?

320
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 3: They feel obligated to curl up in the fetal position

321
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 3: that didn't have help the cause.

322
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 2: That's part of what has to go away. And yet

323
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 2: in this discussion about public saunas are opening the door

324
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 2: to the idea of allowing consensual sex at these what

325
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 2: do we call them bathhouses? Just read the accounts already

326
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 2: of what's taken place among city council members debating this issue.

327
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 2: Anybody who has the temerity to suggest that the proposals

328
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 2: here are what's allegedly going to be under consideration is

329
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:47,479
Speaker 2: not something that the city should be involved in. What

330
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 2: are they being called? Be very careful with your language,

331
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 2: because much of it is homophobic. It's the exact same story,

332
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 2: just in a different context. It takes away the possibility

333
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 2: that you may disagree with this being a priority now,

334
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 2: or maybe a priority at all, but if you do,

335
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 2: I will warn you you will be called out as

336
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 2: contributing to a homophobic atmosphere. It's the exact same story

337
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 2: under a different circumstance. And what it is done that

338
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 2: it is prompted, It is encouraged as a strategy because

339
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 2: it tends, especially in this state, to shut people up.

340
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 2: It's dangerous accusation. No one wants to be called that,

341
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 2: So therefore you talk around it. Are you allowed to

342
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 2: continue to express some of your concerns about is this

343
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 2: really in twenty twenty six at the top of our

344
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 2: list of things that we should be involved in? I

345
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 2: will say this as clearly as I can, as we

346
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 2: talked about with Kessler, I do not believe, and I

347
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 2: will need some convincing to believe, that cities should be

348
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 2: involved in the business of creating safe spaces for consensual

349
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 2: sex of any sort in public institutions. Makes no sense. Heterosexual, homosexual,

350
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 2: whatever the case may be. And we all know what

351
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 2: the history is here, but the idea that.

352
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 3: That position, if you take it, you immediately have to

353
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 3: explain yourself.

354
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 2: It's the old deal of prove you're not homophobic. That's

355
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 2: what it effectively does, and it takes away from any

356
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 2: meaningful dialogue on this particular subject. There are all kinds

357
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 2: of ramifications to this story, but I don't think it's

358
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 2: going on on any kind of precarious limb to say

359
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 2: for a lot of people, right or left, they'd say,

360
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 2: I just don't think this is the business that the state,

361
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 2: or in this case, the city needs to be in.

362
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 2: We have and you can even say, especially right now,

363
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 2: I'll add, this is Minneapolis classified as a fairly progressive city.

364
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 2: So is there daily evidence that this is a city

365
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 2: which prides itself on discriminating against gay individuals?

366
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 3: For example, LBD go down the list. Is this a

367
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 3: city where individuals.

368
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 2: Are constantly put in position where they have to explain

369
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 2: their existence? I didn't think so, maybe I've missed something.

370
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 2: Now are if there are individual hate crimes, we all

371
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 2: agree they should be prosecuted.

372
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 3: People should be allowed to be what they want to be.

373
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 3: But implicit in this pushback on we have.

374
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 2: To take this community under consideration here, how important this

375
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 2: might be, et cetera. I'm thinking things go underground.

376
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 3: Whatever Is this a town where you have to go

377
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 3: hardcore underground if you're gay, of all the towns in

378
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,719
Speaker 3: the United States of America, And by the way, we

379
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 3: should take pride in that, I would say, But it

380
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 3: doesn't add up that suddenly this is a minority that

381
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 3: is constantly in a position where they're having to deal

382
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 3: with various issues and we're not responding to this community

383
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 3: if we do not, as a state or again as

384
00:21:54,880 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 3: a city, open the doors to turning bathhouses into places

385
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 3: where individuals can have sex again to teach their own

386
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 3: This to me, should all be very private and personal stuff.

387
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 3: The idea that the city's got to get into the

388
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 3: licensing of this sort of thing, it's counterintuitive to me.

389
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 3: We should be able to go to have a debate,

390
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 3: and there may be some people will give me some

391
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 3: things to think about that I didn't, But if, as

392
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 3: has already happened on the city council, any pushback is

393
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 3: immediately met with be very careful with your language here.

394
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 3: You are contributing to a hateful climate when you get

395
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,959
Speaker 3: down that road. Please understand what that is.

396
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 2: That's trying to shut up the opposition, as opposed to

397
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 2: even having any kind of useful debate about some of

398
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 2: the issues that have been raised. And a couple of

399
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 2: the more moderate members of the council are saying in

400
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 2: some measure that, well, one of them was, we're talking

401
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 2: about European financial institution, sex venues and coming up data

402
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 2: center moratoriums. These are simply disconnected from the reality of

403
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 2: everyday residents. And people trying to do business in our city.

404
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 3: Now you can disagree with that position, but it's a

405
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 3: legitimate position to have that doesn't have to say anything

406
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 3: about any kind of anti gay sentiment.

407
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 2: And again that sort of mentality. If you raise your

408
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 2: hand and raise questions and get pushed.

409
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 3: The pushback is you're going to be accused of being holophobic.

410
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 3: That's exactly, in no small measure, what contributed to the

411
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 3: level unprecedented nationwide level of fraud that has been uncovered

412
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 3: over the last however long twelve months, eighteen months, whatever

413
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 3: the case may be, that fear of what's Minnesota, Man,

414
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 3: you better be careful if you go down.

415
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 2: That road as opposed to well, is there some is there?

416
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 2: Some there there?

417
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 3: Because if there's fraud there, we have to go after it,

418
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 3: no matter who is responsible for it. We can't be afraid.

419
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 3: If we are afraid of that, that's going to be

420
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 3: used against us, as we saw over and over again.

421
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 3: Same thing with the city council.

422
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 2: Thing is the city council, like I said, that it

423
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 2: is more interested in performing than getting involved in legislation

424
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,719
Speaker 2: that might help the city take some of the steps

425
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 2: necessary to get back to a better place. As far

426
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 2: as I'm concerned, Let's break bottom of the hour. Let's

427
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 2: talk double T, Let's talk NBA, Let's talk NBA playoffs.

428
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 2: What does double T think about the current condition of

429
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Timberwolves. Does he see another run in this team?

430
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 2: We'll find out when he joins us.

431
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 3: Now questions for Double T the bransha On Bryant kfan

432
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,239
Speaker 3: text line, We're going the distance today right un till

433
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 3: six thirty tonight, and we'll have only time to try

434
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 3: to delve into a couple of other stories as well

435
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 3: as we say hi to Trent Tucker.

436
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 2: Mister Tucker, how have you been good? You sound good?

437
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 2: You always sound good. I maybe I should ask before assuming.

438
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 2: Would you prefer we actually ask you about the Minnesota

439
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 2: Wild in the first round of the NHL Stanley Cup

440
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 2: Playoffs or the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of

441
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 2: the NBA playoffs?

442
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,479
Speaker 4: I would say, you know, at fifteen years ago at

443
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 4: NBA all the way, but you know what the NHL

444
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 4: might be right.

445
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 2: There now, it's you're The transition for you has been

446
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 2: one of the most I think interesting sports stories out

447
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 2: there that's kind of hidden that people kind of know,

448
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 2: but remind refresh people's minds who don't know about the

449
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 2: degree to which you've gotten into hockey and why you

450
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 2: have become as interested in the game as you have.

451
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 4: Well, you know, my kids start to play hockey probably

452
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 4: about six, seven, maybe eight years ago, and once they

453
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 4: first get into the game, and you're wondering if they're

454
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 4: going to stick with this, because when they first get

455
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 4: out there, you see so many kids who have been

456
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 4: in it a little bit longer than they have, and

457
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 4: these kids are just skating circles around them. They're falling down,

458
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 4: they can't stand up. You're like, wow, well this is

459
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 4: not going to last long. But then all of a sudden,

460
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 4: you know they like the game, they love the game,

461
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 4: they stick with it, they get better, and once that

462
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 4: excitement is there for them, then you have to be

463
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 4: just coming as excited and then somehow figure out how

464
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 4: to learn how this game is being played so that

465
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 4: you can help to move along in the right direction.

466
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 4: So hockey is very dear to me, and you know,

467
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 4: I travel a great deal now with hockey. I've been

468
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 4: fortunate enough to have kids who play at a very

469
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 4: high level, so I've gotten to know the game very

470
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 4: well and it's a fun game to be around, all.

471
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,959
Speaker 2: Right, So give me ages and where your kids are

472
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 2: playing now specific because you're willing to get because I

473
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 2: think we're all kind of curious to know how far

474
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 2: this might go.

475
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 4: Well, my youngest just turned fifteen. He's a shat at

476
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 4: Saint Mary's Down and Fair and Ball, so he he's

477
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 4: boarding there. So he's kind of like an a boarding school.

478
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 4: So he left home in August and he lives down

479
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 4: there throughout the school year. I get down to watching

480
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 4: pretty much every weekend that I can. And then my

481
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 4: oldest now just turned sixteen and he's playing varsity high

482
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 4: school hockey at Eton Prairie.

483
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 3: This is this is amazing, isn't it? Last time I

484
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 3: saw DOUBLET was at a hockey rink. We were the

485
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 3: two guys that didn't know what was going on. It's

486
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 3: the same deal, Like it's crazy. I just talked to

487
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 3: him for five minutes about hockey before we put him on.

488
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 3: It's the best. So how good are they? Where's this goal?

489
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 2: How can you tell? Yet?

490
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 4: Well? Yeah, I mean you know, theydn't have a shot.

491
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 4: They're getting better every day. The only thing I tell

492
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 4: them is that's to control the things they can control,

493
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 4: and you have to put the work in. Yeah, they

494
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 4: have been fortunate enough to be in two high level

495
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 4: programs and that's where you want to be at this,

496
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 4: you know, but nothing is guaranteed every single day. You know,

497
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 4: you have to make sure you're prepared to get better

498
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 4: on a daily basis. And I've always told them if

499
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 4: if I have to wake you up to go to

500
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 4: a workout or to go to practice, but then it's

501
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 4: time you do something else.

502
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 2: Very well said, and there's never in either case been

503
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 2: a weakening.

504
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 3: To say, you know, maybe basket, maybe maybe I should

505
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 3: try basketball for a while.

506
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 2: It's been pretty solid the hockey commitment so far.

507
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 4: Yees all hockey. You know, I told my oldest son,

508
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 4: I hate to say as I say, but you know,

509
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 4: your shot is not that good, and it's sad for me.

510
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 4: I can't help you.

511
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 2: Oh that's pretty that's that's outstanding. All right. Well, I

512
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 2: appreciate that update because I think that that'll be fun

513
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 2: to watch to see where they end up. But those

514
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 2: are that's that's that serious commitment. It certainly sounds like

515
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 2: right now, so it'll be fascinating to see where it goes.

516
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 2: In both cases, We've not up on the Wolves in

517
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 2: a long time. I'll give you this, this toss up question. Okay,

518
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 2: do you since on the basis of what you've seen

519
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 2: and their current the current state of the club, do

520
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 2: you sense that they do have the Wolves have another

521
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:21,719
Speaker 2: significant run in them, perhaps as far at least as

522
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 2: far as the conference finals again or even further. What's

523
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 2: your feel for this team as the playoffs loom?

524
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 4: I they are healthy. I think the biggest concern for

525
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 4: me at this stage this year compared to the last

526
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 4: two years, is that, you know, two of their better players.

527
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 4: I mean, I've finished off the regular season right away.

528
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 4: From a health stand yeah, I believe if they can

529
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 4: get their health back together, I know, whether it's it's

530
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 4: Denver or the Hatros or the Houston Rockets, I'm not

531
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 4: too concerned about them not having the right person now

532
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 4: to compete with either of those three teams. But if

533
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 4: they are not healthy, you know, that puts them in

534
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 4: a very difficult situation, maybe even to get best the

535
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 4: first round.

536
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 2: If they are healthy, do you think you know, like

537
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 2: a year ago they finished I think something like seventeen

538
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 2: and five, maybe fifteen to five. They they roared in now,

539
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 2: their schedule was a little softer, but they roared in

540
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 2: Julius came off of injury and was terrific, plays best

541
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 2: basketball of the season. They're they're limping in more. Some

542
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 2: of that's injury. I think some of that's just flat

543
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 2: out performance. Does that give you any pausive? You still

544
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 2: view them on the basis of their equity as a

545
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 2: team that you think, if they are healthy, can turn

546
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 2: it on.

547
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 4: I think they're healthy. They have the right person now

548
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 4: you know have you know, they have the players, you

549
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 4: know that can attack some of the weaknesses of the

550
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 4: teams they could face, especially in the first or the

551
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 4: second round, based on where they sit right now. I mean,

552
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 4: I look at denverra you know, they have perhaps the

553
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 4: best player in the in the game and the cold Yokis,

554
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 4: you know, but the Wolves have, you know, have guys

555
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 4: who are very good off the dribble and they can

556
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 4: take the ball to the basket. Denver is not a

557
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 4: great shot blocking team. And that's how they were over

558
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 4: able to overcome them two years ago, how they beat

559
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 4: the Lakers last year. They were able to attack the

560
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 4: weakness on the inside of the Lakers. And I know

561
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 4: a few years Ago and the Phoenix Signs dominated them

562
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 4: during the regular season, but the Wolves changed how they played.

563
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 4: They became more addressive and taking the ball to the basket.

564
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 4: So I believe they have the personnel, you know, to

565
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,239
Speaker 4: make another run come playoff time. But if they are

566
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 4: not healthy, but that's a major concern.

567
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 2: What are your impressions of the sumo? Of course, it

568
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 2: was the one trade deadline move that this team made.

569
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 2: What do you think of him? What do you think

570
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 2: he's added? How do you think he can be most

571
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 2: helpful in the postseason.

572
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 4: I think it was a very good pick up, you know,

573
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 4: to get a player, you know who can come in

574
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 4: and give you some nice production off the bench all

575
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 4: the time. You know, Nikail Alexander Walker is is going

576
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 4: to be hard for it, Yeah, any team to replace

577
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 4: because he was such a good player on both the

578
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 4: ends of the floor, and also you could use him

579
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 4: in different situations through our playoff run where he could

580
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 4: be very productive. But you know, when you when you

581
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 4: make a trade doing the middle of the season, you're

582
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 4: trying to make sure that you can you can close

583
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 4: some hose or some gaps that may come in off

584
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 4: the bench. And I believe they got the right guy

585
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 4: to do that.

586
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 2: The the ongoing issue too, is maybe we worry too

587
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 2: much about who starts games and it's more about who

588
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 2: finishes games. Do you do you anticipate a scenario in

589
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 2: which we could see Desumu on the court for ends

590
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 2: of significant games. Has he raised his profile enough on

591
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 2: the basis of what you've seen thus far?

592
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 4: You know, you know the playoffs, Dan are so funny,

593
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 4: and you know you can you can go in with

594
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 4: with the plan. You know that we're going to use

595
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 4: these six guys, and all of a sudden, now you know,

596
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 4: this guy is slotted in to play thirty five at

597
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 4: thirty eight minutes. But all of a sudden, some guy

598
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 4: can't just fire and he's doing all the things that

599
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 4: you need to do, you know, from a winning standpoint,

600
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 4: and you just can't take him off the floor. And

601
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 4: at this stage, you know, head coaches cannot be afraid,

602
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 4: you know, to make those to make those changes. It's

603
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 4: because it's all about winning. You can't be afraid if

604
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 4: you're going to offend somebody, to hurt somebody's feelings, because

605
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 4: this is big boys basketball at this time of the year,

606
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 4: and you have to go with the guys who can

607
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 4: get the job done. You know.

608
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 2: One of the things I mean, we've talked about. I've

609
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 2: talked about this on our show listening to you on Saturday.

610
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 2: This was much earlier in the season, And correct me

611
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 2: if I'm wrong, But the impression I had from you

612
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 2: was the deep down your belief is that the best

613
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 2: case scenario, ultimately for Anthony Edwards is not to have

614
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 2: to be the scoring point guard basically where the ball

615
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 2: is mainly in his hands. That this team would still

616
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 2: be better served if he played besides next to a

617
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 2: ball handler as well, even if the game has changed

618
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 2: from what it used to be, and that it's a

619
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 2: lot of responsibility for Anthony, especially when you also want

620
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 2: him to be, you know, one of your best defensive

621
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 2: players on the other end, Do you stand by that?

622
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 2: And if that's the case, do you see in the

623
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 2: configurations the possibilities that the Wolves have that they could

624
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 2: on a regular basis put bones beside him at times,

625
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 2: put io beside him as guys who can handle the

626
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 2: ball a little bit, and then ultimately that's a better

627
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 2: formula for success than basically making Anthony Edwards your scoring

628
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:41,439
Speaker 2: point guard.

629
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, as you know, as guys, you know,

630
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 4: move on in their careers, you know, they have to

631
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 4: change their approach to how they want to attack things

632
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 4: on the offensive, vand and and you want Anthony that

633
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 4: was in a comfortable position, especially you know in the

634
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 4: later product, the fourth quarter, where you know he's going

635
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 4: to hit the ball in the certain spots and then

636
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 4: he can make place from there, and it takes the

637
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 4: double team or the triple team out of the equation.

638
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 4: If you look at us, how you know Michael Jordan

639
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 4: evolved as he got you know past year seven, eight

640
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 4: nine and ten. You know, Scottie Pipman became the primary

641
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 4: ball handler and all of a sudden, Now when you

642
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 4: know Mike pops out at fifteen to seventeen feet with

643
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 4: ten seconds on the shot clock, right now, you know

644
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 4: he can you know, he can make a move off

645
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 4: of one or two bounces to make a difference. He

646
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 4: can get to the rim, you can pull up for

647
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 4: a jump shot, or he can find an open team

648
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,359
Speaker 4: made for an open look. And I think the more

649
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 4: you can put Anthony Edwards in in those tox positions

650
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 4: are positions when the game is on the line, especially

651
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 4: at playoff time, He's going to be more effective.

652
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 2: In the Western Conference. Do you still view okay See

653
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 2: as the prohibitive favorite? Do you think they're a little

654
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 2: more vulnerable this time? Where do you put the Spurs

655
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:55,439
Speaker 2: in the mix?

656
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 4: I still think okay See is the best team in

657
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 4: the West. If you look at how they were able

658
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 4: to manage the early season injuries. They lost some key players,

659
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,240
Speaker 4: you know, for maybe a large portion of the season,

660
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 4: but they never lost grip on that number one spot

661
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 4: in the Western Conference. And it seems like that those

662
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 4: players now are starting to get healthy, they're coming back

663
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 4: to the knicks, they're finishing ALTI regular season and a

664
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,439
Speaker 4: strong fastness. So even though San Antonio has a great

665
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 4: run this year, but I still think right now, okay

666
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 4: See is the team could beat in the Western Conference.

667
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 2: Does DOUBLET have the magic solution to the tanking scorge

668
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 2: that has gone from being you know, a bit of

669
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 2: a factor too, I think the largest factor I can

670
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 2: remember in the history of the National Basketball Association.

671
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 4: Well, I think you just I think you have to

672
00:36:54,960 --> 00:37:00,320
Speaker 4: you have to punish financially the guys who own the team.

673
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 4: And I think once you start sending that message to

674
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 4: them from a financial standpoint, and I know that Adam

675
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 4: Silver works for those guys. I think that's going to

676
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 4: change things because it's not fair to the fans. It's

677
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 4: not fair, and you know the amount of money that

678
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 4: people are spending today, you know, to come watch a

679
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 4: game and it might be the only time, you know,

680
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 4: a family or for a family of five can go

681
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 4: to a game. Man, all of a sudden, now you

682
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 4: know the best players are not going to be out there.

683
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 4: Is because you have another agenda behind the closed doors

684
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 4: on what you're trying to do with your franchise down

685
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 4: the road. But if if it's a major problem like

686
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 4: we see it as today, I think the commission is

687
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 4: going to have to somehow, some way, you know, get

688
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 4: the attention of the guys who owns these teams to

689
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 4: make sure that this this type of stuff does not continue.

690
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 2: Why was it in Michael Jordan? And maybe you could

691
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 2: say a lot of the players of that generation that

692
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 2: it's automatic. You play, that's what you Obviously, if you're hurt,

693
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 2: you can't play. But if you're just battling some issues

694
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 2: of minor things here and there, the position is no,

695
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 2: we play. What was is it?

696
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 4: Is?

697
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 2: It? Was it in just such a tradition in the

698
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 2: game that it was automatic. Was it in him for

699
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,839
Speaker 2: a specific reason? What do you remember about all that?

700
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 4: I think it was a time where where guys just

701
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 4: love to play and we just enjoyed playing basketball. And

702
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 4: you know, there was nothing greater, you know, for our player,

703
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 4: like my staff, you know, to have the opportunity to

704
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 4: be in that game, you know, playing in front of

705
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 4: seventeen thousand, five hundred every single night at Whim's Arena.

706
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 4: I mean where else would I want to be as

707
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 4: a basketball player? And then I had the good fortunates

708
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 4: to go on to play in Madison Square Garden, you know,

709
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 4: against some of the some of the best players that

710
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 4: ever played the game. And if you are lucky enough

711
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 4: to be on that stage, would you want to be there?

712
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 4: So taking I saw if you want, if you weren't hurt,

713
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 4: that was that was never a start about taking a

714
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 4: night off if you could play, because we just enjoyed

715
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 4: playing basketball, and to us, you know, it was the

716
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 4: greatest place to be, all right.

717
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,959
Speaker 2: Speaking of Michael, I don't know if you guys talked

718
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,399
Speaker 2: about this in the zone. I'm guessing you may have,

719
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 2: but I have to I had to ask you for

720
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 2: a guy who knows Michael very well. Are you familiar

721
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 2: with the Isaiah Thomas comments regarding Michael most recently.

722
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 4: Not the only ones that I can remember was doing

723
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:36,240
Speaker 4: the Last Dance.

724
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 2: Here's the recent one. This was va a appearance on

725
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 2: something called Run It Back, which I think is on

726
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 2: fan Duel. Okay, And here's what Isaiah said, unprompted. I

727
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 2: said to Kevin Durant, if you would have played back

728
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 2: in our era and they put you in the triple

729
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 2: post at that mid post area, and they took Michael

730
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,720
Speaker 2: Jordan out and you played with Pippin and you played

731
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 2: with Coup coach and you got to run into the

732
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:09,439
Speaker 2: mid post, would he have won six championships? Absolutely? Yeah,

733
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 2: he can do the same thing. If they took mj out,

734
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 2: would kd have won six championships? Absolutely? The floor is yours.

735
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 4: Well, you know I can say this about you know,

736
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 4: Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan is I mean, he to me,

737
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 4: he's the greatest basketball player to ever play. And and

738
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 4: you know, and when the Pistons were knocking off, you know,

739
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,320
Speaker 4: the the Chicago Boys when they made they're run, Isaiah Thomas,

740
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 4: we all know it's running all the time great players now.

741
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 4: But other people have tried the triangle in different places

742
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 4: and they haven't worked for them. And the two guys

743
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 4: who who had really really elevated their games and took

744
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 4: them to a whole new level and gave them an

745
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 4: opportunity to see the game to get way where they

746
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 4: didn't just have to use their overall physical talent, but

747
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 4: they could use, you know, other parts of their mental

748
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 4: aspect to make other players around them better. But Michael

749
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 4: Jordan and Kobe Bryant, you know, and all of a sudden,

750
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 4: now there's the system that allowed them to say, Hey,

751
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 4: you don't have to win the game by yourself, right,

752
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 4: You're still could be the best player, you still could

753
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 4: leave the league in scoring, but now we're going to

754
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 4: put you in a situation where you can be become

755
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 4: all time great winners. You know, I you know, Dan,

756
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 4: I you know, I know that there's a lot of

757
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 4: stuff going on, you know, with the comments you know

758
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 4: between you know, some past players there, Isaiah and Michael,

759
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 4: and most of the time I just kind of ignore

760
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 4: it and try to stay away from the Only thing

761
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,320
Speaker 4: I know is Michael Jordan won six NBA Championships for

762
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 4: the Chicago Bulls and Kevin Durant had to leave Oklahoma

763
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 4: City to find a team that could do that for

764
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 4: him as well.

765
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,240
Speaker 2: There you go. And and again no, I mean Kevin Durant,

766
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 2: I think will agree. Is it terrific. He's an all

767
00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 2: time great skill scorer. But yeah, we all know why

768
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 2: Isaad did it. He just always likes to poke the

769
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 2: bear and.

770
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:08,240
Speaker 3: Michael get that, but he leaves out so much about

771
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 3: you know this so much better than I the mental

772
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:14,760
Speaker 3: side of what Jordan represents that just isn't n KD.

773
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,479
Speaker 3: And that doesn't make him a bad person because there's

774
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,959
Speaker 3: very few who've had that fire in him. It's it's

775
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 3: to me, it's just ludicrous to even think about that

776
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:29,800
Speaker 3: because he's just talking about the offensive skill, which is terrific,

777
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 3: but he's leaving out so much of what Michael represents.

778
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 4: Well, you know, from an offensive skills standpoint, you know,

779
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,399
Speaker 4: I mean, you're not going to find many guys who

780
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 4: have played this game is better than number twenty three,

781
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:47,800
Speaker 4: that's right. And I've had different comments different guys throughout

782
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 4: the years about when Mikeael was at North Carolina and

783
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 4: Kobe was coming in as an eighteen year old and

784
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 4: that they say Kobe was ahead of Mike or I said, well,

785
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 4: I beg to different guys said why he said, I said,

786
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 4: when Michael came into the league, nobody saw him becoming

787
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 4: the player that he became. Right, They say, yeah, that's true.

788
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 4: I said, no, one all of a sudden developed him

789
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 4: over a six month period to allow him to be

790
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 4: the best player in the world. He already had that

791
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 4: what at North Carolina Dean Smith did for him. He

792
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 4: put Michael Jerudd in the system where he didn't have

793
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 4: to show that he could be the best player individually,

794
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,919
Speaker 4: but he was preparing Michael Jorddy to be the best

795
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 4: player at the highest level. So that talent that we

796
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 4: saw his rookie year when he got into the league,

797
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 4: that talent was already there.

798
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 2: Two last items for you. One is related to the

799
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 2: sixty five game rule. It's getting a lot of attention

800
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 2: again because some players who are clearly legitimately injured right

801
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 2: they're out for legitimate reasons, including a punctured law or I

802
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 2: should say a collapse lung. I think in the case

803
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 2: of Kate Cunningham, are you going to be deprived of

804
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 2: a lot of postseason awards? My own position has been

805
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 2: it is funky. I don't like it, but there was

806
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,839
Speaker 2: a reason that the rule I think had to be instituted.

807
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 2: Other people are saying, no, it looks stupid. Now you

808
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,959
Speaker 2: got to revise it. It's not allowing us to show

809
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 2: really reveal the kind of the story of this current season.

810
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 2: What's your view on the sixty five game rule and

811
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 2: whether you think it should be moderated.

812
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 4: I agree, I think they had to do something. It's

813
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 4: because you know, the players and the teams put themselves

814
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 4: in this situation. You know, they have no one else

815
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 4: to blame by themselves when the players decided to load

816
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 4: manage because the teams implemented this rule all of a sudden,

817
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 4: now it was hurting, you know, the integrity of the game.

818
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 4: It was. It was killing you know, the fan base

819
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 4: and the and the perception of the NBA that it

820
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 4: was not it was not the right perception that Adam

821
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 4: Silver wanted to see. So he had to do something,

822
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 4: you know, to encourage the players to play a certain

823
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 4: amount of games throughout the record the season so that

824
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,919
Speaker 4: the fans circle support this game. But in the right way.

825
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 4: I understand that it may not be fair to a

826
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 4: guy who has a legitimate sandury. You know, by overall,

827
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, you know the teams

828
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 4: and the players they put themselves in this situation.

829
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 2: You love basketball, made a great career out of it,

830
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 2: maximized on so many levels. And the game means a

831
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 2: lot to you, There's no question about that. And you

832
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 2: have a sense of history for what came before you

833
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:31,399
Speaker 2: and what you played with and what came after. Are

834
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 2: you worried How worried are you about the state of

835
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 2: the game related to the two issues we've discussed. Is

836
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 2: is it a midland thing that is worth discussing but

837
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 2: not a sign that the growth and the health of

838
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 2: this game might actually be somewhat in jeopardy, or is

839
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 2: it something you go, this is big. I am concerned

840
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:53,760
Speaker 2: that we got to get we got to get leadership

841
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 2: in place to get this stuff under control.

842
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 4: I think we have the right guy in the NBA

843
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,840
Speaker 4: office who understands the importance of making sure that we

844
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 4: get this thing right. He's you know, he's you know,

845
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 4: he's walking you know a fine line is because he

846
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 4: works for the owners, he can't come down too hard

847
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 4: on them publicly, but he has to make sure he

848
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 4: doesn't lose his fan base, and all of a sudden

849
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 4: he has a lot of you know, high pay customers

850
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 4: who are supporting the NBA that he has to please

851
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 4: as well. But I'm not too overconcerned about the league

852
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 4: now going in the right direction. I think Adam Silver

853
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 4: is the guy you know to lead this this, this,

854
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 4: this organization, and this leading the right direction. So I'm

855
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,839
Speaker 4: okay right now knowing that he has he has taken

856
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 4: some steps and making sure that he corrects some of

857
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 4: the problems that he's going to face down.

858
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 1: Bro.

859
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 3: Last item, This is from two to eight guy, and

860
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 3: it sounds like a very loyal listener to the end

861
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 3: the Zone program, and I want to read a text

862
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 3: from him to get your response to it.

863
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's fairly characterizing what he says

864
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,479
Speaker 2: he is. Here's what he writes. He writes, the host

865
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 2: of in the Zone seem to be advocating for a

866
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 2: change in the head coach. Can double t speak to that.

867
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 2: Anything you want to say about the head coach, uh,

868
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 2: because I have heard you from time to time. I

869
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 2: think question a little bit maybe about the offensive approach that.

870
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 3: This team has taken so forth. What what what's your

871
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 3: current evaluation of FINCHI.

872
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 4: Well, I like to see him at times be more

873
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 4: you know, you know, more aggressive and holding guys accountable

874
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 4: and making sure they do the right things here and

875
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 4: there is because at the end of the day, it's

876
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 4: all about winning and and putting guys in the in

877
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 4: the best position to be successful. For some guys, know

878
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 4: they have four or five or six year contracts, they're

879
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 4: going to be around for a long time. But there

880
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 4: are other guys, you know, this might be they they

881
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 4: last run, or there might be two years away from

882
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:55,720
Speaker 4: that being in the league again. So when those times

883
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 4: come to make those tough decisions, he's a head coach,

884
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,800
Speaker 4: you know, just stepping two into that situation with a

885
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 4: great deal of confidence, making sure that you understand how

886
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 4: to get your team prepared to play against different teams

887
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 4: throughout the playoffs and and don't be afraid to make

888
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 4: the big decision.

889
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 2: Well said. Is always great to catch up and we

890
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 2: will be definitely in touch as we get into the

891
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 2: playoffs season.

892
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 4: Man, all right, thanks Dan, thanks for having me.

893
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 2: Always a pleasure. Trent Tucker Double T course co hosts

894
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 2: of In the Zone, which I assume will be on

895
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 2: tomorrow morning with David Sinecan kind enough to give us

896
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 2: extended time today, I think GUARDSI we're always forced to

897
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 2: talk a little more golf when we come back. Yeah,

898
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 2: even I would acknowledge as much, even though I'm more

899
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 2: miniature golf guy than master's guy. You've become a Master's

900
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 2: guy because you lost yourself in the course a couple

901
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 2: of years ago. That's true. So we'll give you an

902
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 2: update there and maybe kind of mix and match the

903
00:48:50,360 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 2: rest of the program between now and six thirty. Are

904
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:14,280
Speaker 2: these numbers right?

905
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:19,800
Speaker 3: Your guy McElroy shoots a sixty five today.

906
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 2: Yes, he's sixty five today. Yes, this is not a

907
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 2: miniature golf course, Augusta.

908
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, he already six of his final seven holes in

909
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 3: his last four holes.

910
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 2: Right now.

911
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 3: He currently holds the largest thirty six hole lead in

912
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,319
Speaker 3: Master's history, at six shots, bigger than Tiger ever had

913
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 3: after thirty six holes six He's.

914
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:41,839
Speaker 2: At minus twelve, right, and you're is it Justin Reid

915
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:45,240
Speaker 2: at minus six? Patrick? Patrick reed? Justin Reid? Very different.

916
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 2: Patrick Reid is at minus six, so six strokes back,

917
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 2: and is anybody else still playing? And anybody is at bear?

918
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 2: We done for the day.

919
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 3: In terms of the top guys, I think everybody's done. Yeah,

920
00:49:56,120 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 3: but he's dealing. He chipped in on seventeen for a

921
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 3: birdie and here's the best part about it. And I

922
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,320
Speaker 3: haven't watched the All twenty two today. I haven't watched

923
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 3: a ton, but the golf community tells us and even

924
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:11,720
Speaker 3: I just listened to his post round interview with ESPN.

925
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:14,279
Speaker 3: He's not driving the ball very well. He's kind of

926
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,279
Speaker 3: all over the place with his driver, so he's kind

927
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 3: of had to scramble a little bit and including on

928
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 3: the whole on seventeen. I think he found himself in

929
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 3: the trees and had to kind of lay up a

930
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 3: little bit. But that's what's been crazy is he's sixty

931
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 3: fifth out of ninety guys on tour today driving the ball,

932
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 3: and he shot the best round of the day, so

933
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:36,279
Speaker 3: his short game's pretty good.

934
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,880
Speaker 2: Must be fun. It's fun watching a golf guy go

935
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 2: on a heater.

936
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then it's fun and the smile on his

937
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:46,440
Speaker 3: face as he's walking off basically, you know, I got this.

938
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 2: I've licked this man. That's what it looks like. That's

939
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:51,759
Speaker 2: what he looks like. He's like, there's a he's like, well,

940
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I can't help it, right, I'm that I'm

941
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 2: him right now and right now.

942
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's an amazing thing to Well, so anybody

943
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 3: bother to watch the rest?

944
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 2: Well, he actually they will, if for no other reason

945
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 2: then how how much can he dominate? Right?

946
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 4: Or?

947
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 3: Or or does he have a Greg Norman like meltdown?

948
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,399
Speaker 3: Does he have a meltdown like he has had from

949
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 3: time to time? You'd like to think? And the theory

950
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 3: going into that this year's Masters was wait till actually

951
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 3: after he won it last year, people were saying it,

952
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:25,800
Speaker 3: he's got this off his back now, the career Grand Slam.

953
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 3: You know, so many years after he shot an eighty

954
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 3: in the final round. I think that was the number

955
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 3: he finally got the green jacket that had eluded him

956
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 3: for so many years. Now watch because he's unencumbered from

957
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:39,320
Speaker 3: all of that stress and pressure. That was the theory,

958
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:41,439
Speaker 3: and we're kind of seeing it play out in real

959
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 3: time now with just how well he's playing. She did say, though,

960
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 3: he said the guy asked him, how do you not

961
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 3: get ahead of yourself? And he goes, because I know

962
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 3: what can happen around this place, good and bad. That

963
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:55,400
Speaker 3: quickly so, but someone's going to have to come get him,

964
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 3: and he's going to obviously have to give him the opening.

965
00:51:57,120 --> 00:52:00,080
Speaker 2: But he's playing great, There's no question about it. And

966
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 2: the beauty of it is the people there in the gallery.

967
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 2: They had a chance to immerse themselves in it because

968
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:09,839
Speaker 2: they didn't have their cell phone.

969
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,800
Speaker 3: There are no personal videos of that hole out on seventeen.

970
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 3: They're all ESPN or Amazon.

971
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:17,839
Speaker 2: Probably the rules of the Masters regarding like you the

972
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 2: man in the hole? Did people do that there? They don't.

973
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:22,839
Speaker 2: They really don't. And is that because they know if

974
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,240
Speaker 2: they do, they'll be booted. I think so. Yeah.

975
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's expressly right brought up, but

976
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 3: I think people just understand, like the other thing you

977
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 3: can't do there is you can't run. All you have

978
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,319
Speaker 3: to start running. They nail you, They nail you. I

979
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 3: think I told the story. But I was there on

980
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 3: the Wednesday par three contest day and it was hot.

981
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 3: It was eighty eighty five degrees or whatever, and I

982
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:49,279
Speaker 3: remember I was standing, you know, back up on kind

983
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 3: of a little hill, and all I did was, for

984
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 3: a second, I just I turned my hat backwards, like

985
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:58,720
Speaker 3: where the brims face. I just turned my hat around

986
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:00,040
Speaker 3: like I usually would dance.

987
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:03,239
Speaker 2: All and somebody came up within a minute or two

988
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 2: and said, hey, turn your hat back the other way

989
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:05,760
Speaker 2: and just kept walking.

990
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:07,359
Speaker 3: I'm like, I didn't even know it was a rule,

991
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 3: but you just okay, did you get in their face? No,

992
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 3: you said you want a piece of me?

993
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 2: Or what? Yeah, what are you gonna do?

994
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:14,359
Speaker 4: Under?

995
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 3: What what are you gonna do to me? But so

996
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 3: that's what even that yeah backwards ball cat, you know,

997
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 3: because I was just kind of like running my fingers

998
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 3: through my hair. You were like, you know, no, I was.

999
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 3: I wasn't trying to be in sporting or anything, and

1000
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 3: I was just trying to get some relief. Dress code

1001
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 3: not really, I mean, I think just normal golf stuff.

1002
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 2: You can wear shorts if you're in the gallery, I think,

1003
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 2: so you have to wear long pants. I'm positive I

1004
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 2: wear shorts. Yeah, yeah, because it get pretty steamy and Augusta,

1005
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:43,439
Speaker 2: I was. It was that day. It was that day.

1006
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:45,360
Speaker 3: But it reminded me of when I've been around the

1007
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 3: Secret Service, like at the Army Navy game, and the

1008
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 3: way that they talk to you secret Service agents and

1009
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 3: you just do what they say, like Nordo and I

1010
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 3: were in the bowels in Baltimore one day and we

1011
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 3: saw the MOTORCADEID and Trump was there and we saw

1012
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 3: the motorcade and we were about to go on the field.

1013
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 3: I'm like, wellhy'm we just hang out here the president

1014
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 3: my walk. It'd be kind of cool to see the president.

1015
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:04,959
Speaker 3: And again, but then like thirty seconds a guy popped

1016
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:06,839
Speaker 3: around the corner and he's like, and you guys are

1017
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:08,040
Speaker 3: just going to keep moving this way.

1018
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:09,760
Speaker 2: And that's how they talk, and you just listen.

1019
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's that much. It's not even contentious. It's just

1020
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 3: how they say it. It's very authoritative. And that's what

1021
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 3: it was like when the guy told me to take

1022
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:19,680
Speaker 3: my to put my hat around the other.

1023
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 2: Way t P two K. Guy asks tighter security Augusta

1024
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 2: or the Ohio State sideline.

1025
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 3: Actually Ohio State sideline, I think. Unfortunately, get a callback

1026
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:34,240
Speaker 3: right there. Not as good, not the same bedside manner

1027
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 3: to use one of your phrases, not the same deft touch.

1028
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 2: Do we play at Ohio State this year?

1029
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 3: No?

1030
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 2: We did last week last year and I didn't even

1031
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:45,280
Speaker 2: fight it this year with the guys.

1032
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,360
Speaker 3: Say get into it, you know, I don't think we

1033
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:49,400
Speaker 3: talked about that after you no, just let it go.

1034
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 3: The same guy, Oh yeah, oh you recognize I'll never

1035
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:55,440
Speaker 3: recognize you. I think he did. Yeah, I think he did.

1036
00:54:55,440 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 3: I didn't give him anything. Was Paul Manasa your lash?

1037
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 3: Yeah he was my Manassa and I but I just turtalized,

1038
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:04,960
Speaker 3: said I don't have it in me.

1039
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:05,920
Speaker 2: I'm not.

1040
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:08,799
Speaker 3: No, I get that because it's it's just you're weird.

1041
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 3: You get weary of it. And they were egle eyeing

1042
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 3: everybody's credentially getting down there. I'm like, guys that we're

1043
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 3: at Ohio Stadium for a night game against the golfers,

1044
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 3: like we can calm down, but they do not mess around.

1045
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 2: No, that's really really too good. I do have some

1046
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 2: text to come in on the bathhouse issue, which we

1047
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 2: might finish up with, which we talked about earlier, and

1048
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 2: I'm kind of scrolling down to see if there's anything

1049
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:36,399
Speaker 2: else of note. Bratshawn Brian Kaffe in text line one

1050
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:38,799
Speaker 2: last shot for the weekend six four six, eight six,

1051
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:42,239
Speaker 2: So I say weekend for today sermons is scheduled I

1052
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 2: think for the usual time between nine and eleven o'clock.

1053
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 2: What time's the Wolves game Sunday, Sunday seven thirty. Oh,

1054
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 2: it is a night game, yes, and no sign that

1055
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:56,799
Speaker 2: we're gonna get a cag on sermons on Sunday. So far,

1056
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 2: I've been given no indication that that's going to I

1057
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:00,319
Speaker 2: had a haunch it might go on that.

1058
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 3: Do we have do our insiders give us any insight

1059
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 3: into just how prominent a role KG will play in

1060
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:12,440
Speaker 3: the festivities on site. I haven't asked, but I'm surprised

1061
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 3: we haven't been given details about it, like a press

1062
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 3: conference before the game or what he is going to do,

1063
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 3: because that is the thing.

1064
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 2: Johnny hasn't written about that yet either. I haven't. If

1065
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 2: he has, I haven't seen it.

1066
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 3: The I was talking to somebody about that last night

1067
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:28,320
Speaker 3: in terms of are you going to the game, and

1068
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 3: you're not going to the game, and yes, it will

1069
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:32,360
Speaker 3: be cool to have Kevin Garnette there, But what's he

1070
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 3: going to do? He's just going to be sitting there.

1071
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 3: I assume he addresses the crowd. I'm sure they're going

1072
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 3: to show him.

1073
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, they got to. But but then what quote dark Star?

1074
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 2: Then what? Yeah, that's the question. I don't know. Yeah,

1075
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:46,919
Speaker 2: well maybe they're maybe they're going to surprise us. Maybe

1076
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 2: they got Maybe that's they just they want it to

1077
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:50,840
Speaker 2: be all Will he throw some T shirts out in

1078
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:53,319
Speaker 2: the crowd, Yeah, I would think he would probably do that,

1079
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:55,239
Speaker 2: probably have to a lot of the former players. Any

1080
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:56,799
Speaker 2: of his other teammates going to come back with him?

1081
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 2: I just all about KG tonight. I actually I think

1082
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 2: I did hear there's going to be some other ones.

1083
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 2: Oh is that right? I thought so. I don't know

1084
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 2: about Spree. I have no names for you. Casell still coaching,

1085
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:08,760
Speaker 2: so would I wouldn't think it would be him, Wally

1086
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:12,040
Speaker 2: the top of the list. He's been back, you know

1087
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 2: those two? Rick Ricord?

1088
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 3: Rick Rickord would be the other one. You'd wonder about

1089
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 3: Joe Smith. He's got to be, doesn't he? Stress of

1090
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 3: both worlds? Troy Hudson, Well, how he's around a lot?

1091
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 2: Is that?

1092
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:24,480
Speaker 3: Yeah? He's bounced in a little bit. Yeah, I think

1093
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 3: he's local still. Sam Mitchell, I don't think.

1094
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 2: I don't think. I haven't heard anything from him about

1095
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 2: him become because that would be a natural they you know,

1096
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:33,280
Speaker 2: that was his mentor. He's got to come in for

1097
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 2: the ceremony. Junior j R. J Ryder. Where is he?

1098
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 2: I don't know. Did we talk about h the I

1099
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 2: don't know who had him on a podcast. There's too

1100
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 2: many podcasts and that's the problem. There's too many former players.

1101
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:55,360
Speaker 2: And it was basically Rider laying out just how easily

1102
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 2: he scored on a bunch of great NBA guards and

1103
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:02,479
Speaker 2: how you know he was misunderstood and he was better

1104
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 2: than people think. And of course he's got the people

1105
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:06,600
Speaker 2: around him. Mark can argue with them. They're not going

1106
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:09,040
Speaker 2: to say but that why why did you have the

1107
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 2: career that you did? It's just no one needs to

1108
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 2: like Savage JR. Ryder at this point. But he kind

1109
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 2: of asked if you go down that road and romanticize

1110
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 2: and pretend.

1111
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 3: And by the way, the guy who when presented with that,

1112
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 3: the guy who ripped him was Mitchell. Sam Mitchell said,

1113
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:31,560
Speaker 3: you know all this stuff, all these sound bites you're

1114
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:34,440
Speaker 3: showing us or you're giving us that we're listening to.

1115
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 3: Now one of them said anything about whether the team

1116
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 3: won or lost the game? Wow, which I thought was

1117
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 3: pretty powerful.

1118
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 2: That's very sam Mitchell. Well, come back and remind you

1119
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 2: of what you might have missed on a very controversial

1120
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 2: edition of the Beast and then set you up for

1121
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 2: the rest of the night. Statement show RAP.

1122
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 3: Is presented by American Pressure commercial grade pressure washer since

1123
00:58:57,120 --> 00:58:58,400
Speaker 3: nineteen seventy five.

1124
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 2: It's the Bumper to Bumper Show wrapped. But we covered

1125
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 2: all on enough said tonight Fox nine. I have no

1126
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 2: idea what time will actually be on. Check your local listings,

1127
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 2: get the Fox Local app you can watch the show

1128
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 2: that way. We cover the Twins, the Red Hot Twins,

1129
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 2: We cover the walls, we covered the wild we cover

1130
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 2: the bath houses, we cover iran very eclectic edition of

1131
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 2: the program. And to be me Guardsy and Lori Fisher

1132
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:31,920
Speaker 2: as usual want to thank our guests today, including lou

1133
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:34,880
Speaker 2: Or Goose and Louis got an update to the story

1134
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 2: he was discussing with US at four fifteen today regarding

1135
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 2: to be a fraudster who fled the US days before

1136
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 2: his trial. The judge, according to lou who set bail

1137
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 2: for the fraudster, was warned by Minnesota Attorney General's Office

1138
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 2: investigator that's said, that's the last name of the individual

1139
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 2: who fled. Said's family lives in Kenya, and they worried

1140
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 2: that he would indeed run so again. I don't know

1141
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 2: what frustrated options the judge has because it was there

1142
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 2: were two bail thresholds, right, a high bail and a

1143
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 2: lower bail as well. I think it was under high

1144
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 2: biale right, Yeah, where he could keep his passport and

1145
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:18,200
Speaker 2: things decisely. So I don't know how much discretion there

1146
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:21,320
Speaker 2: is there. Maybe it's something we can delve into going

1147
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:24,320
Speaker 2: into next week, but it looks like that would fall

1148
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 2: into the classification of Okay, we're going to cover our

1149
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:30,600
Speaker 2: rear end here. We did what we could because the

1150
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:35,240
Speaker 2: embarrassment is obvious and the fallout is obvious as well.

1151
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 2: I also want to mention because I had a Texter

1152
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:41,360
Speaker 2: who suggested that I was making it sound like.

1153
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:48,600
Speaker 3: The city would be like running one of these bathhouses.

1154
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 2: Obviously that's not the case. But they are opening the

1155
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 2: door if they but by changing the laws that no

1156
01:00:56,880 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 2: longer by which right now they're outlawed, they're opening the door.

1157
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 2: It's a distinction not worth making to me. And again,

1158
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:05,520
Speaker 2: the assumption is there's going to have to be some

1159
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 2: licensing involved, right, given all we've read and heard for

1160
01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:12,600
Speaker 2: those who are in favor of going down this road

1161
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 2: as well, So to that extent there is there by definition,

1162
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 2: needs to be city involvement. But I think we all

1163
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 2: understand not saying there's going to be a City of

1164
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 2: Minneapolis sign over the place, but there is participation to

1165
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:30,000
Speaker 2: the extent that you're opening the door on sanctioning the policy.

1166
01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:36,080
Speaker 2: And then somebody texted half sarcastic, haf not legal brothels.

1167
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:38,160
Speaker 2: Now there are people who there are people out there

1168
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 2: who think we should have those that it would bring

1169
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:43,520
Speaker 2: some of that stuff out where it can be better,

1170
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 2: there would be better safety issues associated with a health

1171
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 2: issues involved. I just don't think those are roads that

1172
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:54,439
Speaker 2: the City of Minneapolis need to worry about going down

1173
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 2: right now. We have a number of significant issues that

1174
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:03,840
Speaker 2: I think are more important, more practical, and I'll stand

1175
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 2: by my position that I just don't think that the

1176
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 2: city needs to be involved in the sanctioning, in effect

1177
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:14,040
Speaker 2: opening the door to places in which this sort of

1178
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:17,000
Speaker 2: activity is going to go on in a public place.

1179
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:21,200
Speaker 2: And again it raises the issue if your intention is

1180
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:27,800
Speaker 2: to just use those facilities for you know, more conventional activity,

1181
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:31,480
Speaker 2: why you would have to be subjected to any of

1182
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:33,240
Speaker 2: that or can be concerned.

1183
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:37,439
Speaker 3: I mean, we know that stuff happens anyway, right, We're

1184
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 3: aware of that, But it's very different when it's actually

1185
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:42,160
Speaker 3: to me, you're sanctioning it.

1186
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:48,960
Speaker 2: As a city. It's a city that has a city

1187
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 2: council that wants to try too hard to be the

1188
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:54,600
Speaker 2: most progressive in the country, and even in some places

1189
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 2: like San Francisco, they're actually trying to swing the pendulum

1190
01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 2: back a little bit. As we talked about regarding couple

1191
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:02,640
Speaker 2: stories early in the week, there is a part of

1192
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:04,080
Speaker 2: me and we didn't get into this earlier, but we

1193
01:03:04,160 --> 01:03:09,840
Speaker 2: had before that says, I mean, you can make the

1194
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 2: argument that these representatives are being duly elected, somebody is

1195
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 2: voting these folks in Yeah, and so to a certain extent,

1196
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 2: you go, well, then perhaps we shouldn't be so surprised.

1197
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 2: And the only way it's going to change is if

1198
01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 2: enough voters come to the conclusion that having city council

1199
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:35,880
Speaker 2: members who are so far to the left they look,

1200
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 2: they make the mayor of the City of Minneapolis seem

1201
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:44,400
Speaker 2: to be a crackpot conservative. Nothing's effectively going to change,

1202
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:46,880
Speaker 2: and we're going to continue to go down this particular road.

1203
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 2: Also want to thank double T Trent Tucker. He joined

1204
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 2: at five point thirty and Lavelle went early today at

1205
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:56,959
Speaker 2: three point thirty. We talked some baseball early, we talked

1206
01:03:57,040 --> 01:04:00,400
Speaker 2: some soccer in the middle, and we even talked some

1207
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:04,840
Speaker 2: puck with him as well. And the bit we know

1208
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 2: the big question, I mean with the Wolves, we pretty

1209
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 2: much know what the lineup is going to be, right,

1210
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:11,520
Speaker 2: if everybody's healthy, yep for the postseason.

1211
01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 3: Nos read by the way out tonight he did. That's true, good,

1212
01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:17,560
Speaker 3: good update. Anthony Edwards, like LinkedIn, expected to play.

1213
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:22,120
Speaker 2: But on the hockey side, it's who you start in

1214
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 2: goal in the nets in game one and how much

1215
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:28,920
Speaker 2: you will let a fairly mediocre performance last night in Dallas.

1216
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:32,240
Speaker 2: Dictate frustrated the decision. When we go back to Dallas

1217
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:35,400
Speaker 2: for game one, which would presumably be next Saturday or Sunday.

1218
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:37,000
Speaker 2: I think it's Saturday. I think we already know that.

1219
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:39,080
Speaker 2: Oh do we know that? Well, I shouldn't say, okay,

1220
01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:41,840
Speaker 2: but it's next weekend. It is next weekend. A fan

1221
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:44,400
Speaker 2: and the man in the air. It's gonna follow us

1222
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 2: an hour Dan Patrick, an hour of Dan Patrick, and

1223
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:53,840
Speaker 2: then it's Wolves versus the Rockets, Houston Rockets, gun belt tight.

1224
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:58,600
Speaker 2: That'll be coming up tonight. Then at eight eight fifteen

1225
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:03,400
Speaker 2: pregame eight thirty already opening tap Enjoy the weekend. It'll

1226
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:06,200
Speaker 2: be blakemore than me, I think, both on a two

1227
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 2: hour edition of sermons. We'd love to have Kagi and Studio.

1228
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:12,080
Speaker 2: We're not holding our breath, but who knows. We'll talk

1229
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:13,840
Speaker 2: to you Sunday morning. If you ever go to Houston,

1230
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:16,400
Speaker 2: you gotta walk right, gotta keep your hands deep in

1231
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 2: your pocket and your gun belt type
