00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: Thirty four minutes left. Let me see her buses.

2
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 2: Your fowls are better than foul moods.

00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 1: Leader Fan Fan Radio Network and k f a N

Speaker 1: dot Com.

5
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 2: Two minutes thirty nine seconds past the hour of three

6
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 2: o'clock Central Standard Time. Welcome back, bumbera bumper show. It's live,

7
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 2: it's local. It's a three and a half hour tour.

8
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 2: I think on a fairly balmy but not quite balmy

9
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 2: enough yet for most of us Tuesday afternoon here in

10
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 2: the twin cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul.

11
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: My name is Dan Barrero.

12
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 2: I host the program guards he produces, and we are

13
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: delighted that you are along for at least part of

14
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: this often extremely bumpy, sometimes controversial ride. What a difference

15
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 2: one night makes, Guardsy. How's your mood ring today? Well,

16
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 2: I'm just saying better. It's about either committing fouls or

17
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 2: getting fouled than foul moods. Not much about foul moods

18
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 2: last night, although somebody did report from behind, said he

19
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 2: would from behind the Wolves bench that the nods.

20
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: Reed mood did seem fairly foul. Seemed like it, yeah,

21
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: got a little spicy.

22
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: He ended up getting tossed from the game correct, yes,

23
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 2: And he also ended up with was it seven points?

24
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 2: I don't think he scored much. Usually that's the kiss

25
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: of death for the Wolves, but not anymore because the

26
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 2: era that Dsubu era or era kind of officially began

27
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: last night. That was his second game, but it felt

28
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: like it was his first first time where he felt

29
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,639
Speaker 2: like he was fitting in. He was having his way

30
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: with the Atlanta defense pretty much getting to the basket

31
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: at will. Was he eleven for thirteen from the floor,

32
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: you double as we speak to me, and let's take

33
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: a look. Yeah, look at these numbers from him? He was.

34
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: Nine of thirteen.

35
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: I apologize my box score got cut off for sponsored headlines,

36
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: so I got nas on there with seven and you

37
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 2: can look up the numbers. When no scores under ten,

38
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 2: we're usually doomed because very few other people help us

39
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 2: very consistently off of the bench. But the new kid

40
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 2: was very good going to the basket. He's one of

41
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 2: those guys who doesn't waste dribbles, No, doesn't waste very

42
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 2: efficient economic economical moves, no wasted steps, no wasted dribbles.

43
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 2: He looked very good. He also looked very locked in

44
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 2: defensively as well, So not as much talk last night

45
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: about foul moods and more about well Randall eight for fourteen,

46
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 2: McDaniel's seven for eleven, how about Rudy Yep seven for

47
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: seven from the floor, eighteen points in thirty three minutes.

48
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 2: Dante got ten shots. What do you get the night

49
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 2: before one?

50
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: I think so.

51
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 2: I think it's literally one, and he filed out, and

52
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 2: last night nobody had to play a bunch. Anthony played

53
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 2: thirty eight. I guess Randall did play thirty nine, triple

54
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 2: double for him. For Julius, you're saying correct, twelve assists

55
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 2: and ten rebounds. So it was all coming together last

56
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 2: night for your club. We'll see how long we can

57
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 2: keep the mood, but keep it on fouls rather than

58
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: foul mood, as we had discussed yesterday. Nothing helps players

59
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: who tend to be in a foul mood more than

60
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: hitting some shots.

61
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: Making shots. You make some.

62
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: Shots, it's amazing. What everything else seems to look good?

63
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 2: Then two and everything? What do we have at the half?

64
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 2: Was it seventy nine points? I thought it was eighty one, Yeah,

65
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: it was eighty one, eighty one at the half? We

66
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 2: scored forty one in the first and forty in the second.

67
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: That's remarkable.

68
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: What do we shoot from the field. I'm annoyed this

69
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 2: box scorer got cut off for me. For the game,

70
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 2: we shot sixty percent, they shot forty. They were forty

71
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 2: for ninety nine. So our defense was a lot of

72
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 2: shots also improved. It's a lot of possessions. Yeah, that's true.

73
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: And how did Nikiel do? He had good numbers nine

74
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 2: for nineteen. He kind of got him back into the

75
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 2: game a little bit. Yeah, in the summon, the first

76
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 2: half was ridiculous. Yeah, I still like CJ mccolluy. He's good. Yeah,

77
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 2: twelve for twenty five for the game, thirty eight points

78
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: in thirty three minutes. Nikiel nine for nineteen from the floor,

79
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 2: twenty three points, ten boards. Looks like how many assists

80
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: five assists, six turnovers? He had six turnovers in the

81
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: in the game. So a lot less about foul mood

82
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: and a lot more about just we think of the

83
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 2: the F word in basketball. We think foul, We do

84
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 2: not think expression. The expression foul mood, which were now

85
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: I think is embedded in my psyche, is going to

86
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: be with me the year. Every game I'm going to

87
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 2: think about foul mood. I guess I'd never. I've never.

88
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: I don't remember being around another team where that was

89
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 2: the way it was described.

90
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: But it's perfect foul mooded. It's not. That's a term.

91
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 2: I'm making it upoul A team filled with foul moods

92
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 2: or collective foul mood right right, And that's a pretty

93
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 2: apt description. I guess it is. Unfortunately, no question about

94
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 2: That's how we're rolling right now. How much can you

95
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 2: answer me how cocky Chris Finch was after the game.

96
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 2: Did Chris Finch look at the Jackals who doubted him

97
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: and who had questioned him? I don't think so, including

98
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: Johnny Athletic. Do you look him in the eye and

99
00:05:59,279 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: say what do you think?

100
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: Can we now? No? No, I don't think he did.

101
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 2: And I was watching last night because our guy Tom

102
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 2: Crean was on last night with Mars. He was and no,

103
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 2: I think And Creane even said, I like a lot

104
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 2: of the stuff Finch he just said, because it was

105
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: more about just when we do the things we're supposed

106
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 2: to do, and the ball has energy and we move

107
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 2: and Ao gave Io gave great defensive presence which we needed,

108
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 2: and he's good for that. Second group, because Rudy's usually

109
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 2: not in there like it was more just business as usual.

110
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: I think with Finch.

111
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 2: Did any of the Jackals apologize to Chris Finch?

112
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: I don't think I heard an apology, not a single

113
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: maya kulpa. No. No, that surprises me a little bit.

114
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 2: Apparently during the broadcast this became a topic of conversation

115
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 2: on the fan duel Wolves. You know Wolves broadcast. This

116
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 2: is not the national feed. This was the local feed.

117
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 2: I don't even think we were a national game last night. No,

118
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 2: you also could have heard it on the fan, and

119
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: he could have heard it on the fan, yes, as

120
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 2: well as the Timberwolves channel. Let's listen to a hang on.

121
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 2: I don't I'm sorry. I thought you got it ready. Uh,

122
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 2: it's a it's a it's a bit of back and

123
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 2: forth that I had not heard last night.

124
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: I was in and out of the game last night, and.

125
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 2: It was well, I guess, fairly frontal on why Chris

126
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 2: Finch just doesn't has has received so little support, almost

127
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 2: no accolades and praise in the years he's how many

128
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: years has he been here?

129
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: This five?

130
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 2: This is your five year five. Let's let's listen. This

131
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 2: is a Jim Peterson and our guy Alan Horton.

132
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: Chris Pinch and his staff are too good. I've been

133
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: a little disappointing with all of the hand ringing and

134
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: talk about Chris Finch. And you know, there's no gratitude for.

135
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 2: This guy that has crought us in the playoffs five

136
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 2: years in a row at Custerncuplics finals.

137
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: I mean, how about some gratitude with Halen It's jocks.

138
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: It is quite shocking. This guy has done so much

139
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: for his team. I just can't believe all the years

140
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: we spent in the desert, you know, not making the playoffs.

141
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,239
Speaker 2: You know, TIDS obviously did a great job of getting

142
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 2: Minnesota into the playoffs. But what Chris Pitch has done

143
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 2: to make this an elite level team where they're a

144
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 2: contender each and every year.

145
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: He has brought us water in the proverbial dome.

146
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 2: He certainly has and and and I'm not going to

147
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: take it for granted.

148
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: They're the staff. Is it's the best staff. That's the

149
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: best front office these team has ever had.

150
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 2: Both is that trolling or is that for for people

151
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 2: like me and others? Uh noon to three? Or is

152
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 2: that is that real? Seem pretty earnest.

153
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: I know, I honestly, I don't. I don't even know what.

154
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: Well are they criticizing Rudy Gobert, Maybe they may, maybe

155
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: they intend to.

156
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 2: Maybe it's a message that should be that they meant

157
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: to be conveyed to a member.

158
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 1: Of the team.

159
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 2: By the way, Rudy Gobert has been an extremely helpful

160
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 2: player since he's been here, especially the first year that

161
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 2: he was here. Chris Finch has received endless praise, rightly

162
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 2: for all the reasons that are laid out there. What

163
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 2: are we doing here? Are we really back to that

164
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 2: place where when a team becomes as inconsistent as they

165
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 2: have been lately, to the point where players internally are

166
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 2: questioning what's going on, and Rudy Gobert goes to the

167
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,719
Speaker 2: level he did that we have to go back to. Well,

168
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 2: don't you realize how far this franchise has come. Seriously,

169
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 2: we just did that as recently as the honest trade exactly,

170
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 2: so this is great times for this team. I don't

171
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 2: even know where to begin with that. In grown up

172
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 2: markets with teams that have big time aspirations, they understand

173
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 2: and accept that you're going to grade on a lot

174
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 2: tougher curve.

175
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: That's where we are now.

176
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 2: We've all got all, we've all done.

177
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: The celebration.

178
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 2: Of what this administration has represented and continues to represent.

179
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 2: But come on, there's been no adulation for Chris Finch

180
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 2: the time he's been here.

181
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: Is that correct?

182
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 2: I mean, in all seriousness, we should be past the

183
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 2: point where there has to be apologies demanded for raising

184
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 2: questions about what seemed to be some legitimate concerns when

185
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 2: it comes, as I said, to consistency. Now the head

186
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 2: coach himself is articulating his challenge, the challenges he has

187
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 2: with the mood of the players. So the notion that

188
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 2: the finching needs to be protected, or he hasn't been

189
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 2: told often enough what a good job he's done here,

190
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 2: or people have forgotten that. Here's the other thing. The

191
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 2: way it works in every league is good to great

192
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 2: coaches get fired all the time. Doesn't mean they should be.

193
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: Doesn't mean anyone on this show has even come close

194
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 2: to suggesting that that should be in the conversation.

195
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: And I don't think it should be. I don't either, But.

196
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 2: Things evolve, things change, things happen, concerns emerge, So again,

197
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 2: I you know, I mean, the timing is interesting. You

198
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 2: wait till they're up fifty against Atlanta to make the

199
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 2: point that you could have just as easily made when

200
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 2: they played as crappily as they did the previous game.

201
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 2: But I just shake my head because, again, if for

202
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: the fans out there who are basically saying it's over,

203
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: he's terrible, he's law the players, the whole bit. I mean,

204
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 2: come on, you know there's always but that too is

205
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: part of fandom. There's always going to be an a

206
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 2: rational part of any fan base. But the idea that

207
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 2: there's been a lack of appreciation or desire to praise

208
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 2: or to give do to the head coach or Tim Conley,

209
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 2: come on, man, I thought we'd I thought we had

210
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 2: grown up a little bit as a market or certainly

211
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 2: as a as a franchise where it was almost a compliment.

212
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 2: People care, they care, They're invested enough now where when

213
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,599
Speaker 2: they see things going as badly as they had the

214
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 2: two especially the two previous games, they're going, what wait,

215
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 2: then now we're getting we're down to like the last thirty.

216
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: What's going on here?

217
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 2: Now? Do we have do we have to nip this

218
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 2: in the butt? Is there something else we need to do.

219
00:12:55,840 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 2: Is there something that's missing or maybe not. That's all

220
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 2: part of reaching attaining a status where all expectations rise.

221
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 2: That's not a lack of gratitude for what's come, what

222
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 2: has gotten us to that point. As you mentioned, we

223
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 2: just brought it up on the whole Yahnis thing. Don't

224
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 2: take for granted the fact that he wanted to come here.

225
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 2: Why did he want to come here? Because it's a

226
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 2: well run organization, It's in a good spot. Well run

227
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 2: organizations occasionally ask questions out loud, people within them or

228
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: people outside of them as well. Man, Man, that's well,

229
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 2: it is what it is. It's their broadcast. Let's make

230
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 2: this our first pause, and let's try to put some

231
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 2: bonus bucks in somebody's hands. It is our national cast

232
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 2: contest in the first keyword of the afternoon is check.

233
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 2: Go to kfan dot com and enter the keyword check.

234
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: You know me.

235
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 2: I'm the last person to defend the world of X.

236
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 2: We have many conversations about just how you know, crazy,

237
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 2: it can be an irrational.

238
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: That it can be.

239
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 2: But I'm here to tell you that if if there

240
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 2: are people out there who think it is unprecedented for

241
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: fans of a good team with a good coach starting

242
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 2: to talk about whisper about well, is it possible he's

243
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 2: lost the team? Or are there is it?

244
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: You know?

245
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 2: Are they tired of hearing the same voice. This is

246
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 2: not unusual territory for pick any team, even any I'll

247
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 2: even say legendary coach because Finchy, I don't think it's

248
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: quite to that level yet. And I'm not going to

249
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 2: defend all of it. We got some of it yesterday.

250
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 2: Somebody said, wait a minute, you ripped them yesterday. Now

251
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 2: you're defending them. You're you're kind of I guess parsing

252
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 2: this a little bit unfairly in the view of the

253
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 2: host of this program. A good coach can still get criticized.

254
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 2: You brought it up yesterday, same thing that came up

255
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 2: on Sunday, that the irony of the other day. Finchy

256
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 2: being frustrated with his club, and he says, go talk

257
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 2: to the tells that the Jackals, go talk to the players,

258
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: ask them them.

259
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: So they asked Rudy, and Rudy fires back, and then

260
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: Rudy got in trouble.

261
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 2: That was you want to call that a critique yet

262
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 2: it is that doesn't mean, it's not an either or.

263
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 2: The idea that his overall record speaks for itself is true,

264
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 2: but the notion that then there can be no pushback

265
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 2: on any individual move or situation. Come on, what do

266
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 2: we let's grow up. This is a little league here.

267
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 2: And I'll say again he's well compensated. He's not in

268
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 2: any trouble, nor should he be. I mentioned that as

269
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 2: recently as yesterday. Now are there people out there who

270
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 2: think he should be gone? Probably, But that's not just

271
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 2: true here. There's been an endless amount of respect shown,

272
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 2: celebration about what this regime has done. And you know,

273
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 2: for the record, let's remember who hired Finchy, same guy

274
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 2: who drafted Anthony Edwards, gris Russen Grossas. But there's no

275
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 2: doubt that the folks who inherited those players and that

276
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 2: coach have maximized those good decisions that were made by

277
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 2: by somebody else. But the idea that well you think

278
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 2: he's a good coach or how can you rip them? Well,

279
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 2: we can disagree with a decision, or comment or or

280
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 2: wonder about it. I just like I said, I I

281
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 2: hate to think we've got to go back to well,

282
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 2: nothing can be questioned or ever discussed. Hell, I heard

283
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 2: on the TV broadcast a couple of days ago that

284
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 2: the walls quit. Well, that sounds kind of ungrateful, given

285
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 2: the fact that the team still has a chance to

286
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 2: get as far as it did a year ago to

287
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 2: the final four.

288
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 1: So why would you bring that up?

289
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 2: Well, you bring it up because that's how it felt

290
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 2: at that moment. There was nothing wrong with that observation

291
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 2: because in that moment it was true, or it certainly

292
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 2: felt like it was true. But couldn't company somebody come

293
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 2: back and say, man, how quickly you forget about the walls? Okay,

294
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 2: they maybe they got a little discouraged the other night,

295
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 2: and maybe things weren't going very well, but if you

296
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 2: check the where they are in the standings, they're well

297
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 2: still well about five hundred if you checked where they finished.

298
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 2: So good teams can get criticized. Good coaches we should

299
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 2: be able to criticize, hopefully rationally and not irrationally.

300
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: But even that is up to up for debate. All

301
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: we hit the.

302
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 2: Breaking new sounder or do you want to hit the

303
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 2: ode to a dead guy? Which one we Why don't

304
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 2: I hit the breaking news sounder while you look for

305
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 2: ode to a dead guy?

306
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 1: Can we do it that way?

307
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 2: Oh?

308
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: All right? I mean I could do both. Yeah, I

309
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: can get to it.

310
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 2: And now it's time for Ode to do a dead guy. Mann?

311
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: No, man, What was.

312
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 2: Your favorite Motor City Bowl moment?

313
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: After twenty nine years?

314
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 2: Detroit's Bowl game most recently I think called the motor

315
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 2: City Bowl? I know, the Games above Sports Bowl?

316
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,239
Speaker 1: Oh? His, that was the most recent game above sports. Yeah, oh,

317
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: you're right.

318
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 2: There is title sponsor game about sports.

319
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: What does that even mean? Game of both sports of

320
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: some company.

321
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, So in that twenty nine years, they've been

322
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 2: the Game above Sports Bowl. They've been the Quick Lane Bowl,

323
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 2: they've been the Little Caesar's Bowl, and they've been the

324
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 2: Motor City Bowl.

325
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: It's a hell of a run.

326
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 2: That's a hell of a run. How many Motor City

327
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 2: Bowls or Detroit Bowls? Did you cover?

328
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: Three? Three bowls? Did we win them all? We won

329
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 1: them all? Yes.

330
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 2: I think I'm the only person that's been a sideline

331
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 2: reporter for three Motor City Bulls. I'm pretty sure, because

332
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 2: they kept sending us there even if.

333
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: We didn't deserve it. So we were all of this.

334
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: We're always a rumored to go there.

335
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 2: We were getting penalized for the notion that nobody we

336
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 2: won't travel.

337
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: Well, it wasn't at it for a while. Maybe I

338
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: think that was part.

339
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously they've they've gotten beyond that. That was

340
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 2: the rep was, well, they won't bring anybody. Yeah. So

341
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 2: I've been to three and had a hell of a

342
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 2: time at all three of them. But go ahead, you did.

343
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 2: I loved the Detroit Bowl. And that's that's the third

344
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 2: bowl to fold in the past year. So along with

345
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 2: the La Bowl and the Bahamas Bull Yep, did we go?

346
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 2: Did you ever do the You've been to Thehamas for

347
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 2: other things, but not the football. We've been to the

348
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 2: Bahamas for basketball, but never the football game. And I

349
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 2: thought we had last year the Bull season just completed.

350
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 2: I thought there were forty we were up to forty

351
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 2: two bowls. That could be right, we back down out

352
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 2: of thirty nine or might there be another one coming.

353
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 1: I still wish we would have a bowl.

354
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 2: If Detroit can have a bowl, and they did for

355
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 2: three decades, why can't we have a bowl?

356
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: You're right, have Dairy Queen sponsored or somebody gotta be it.

357
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:58,479
Speaker 1: It's a chance, I know.

358
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is tough because it got a bad rap.

359
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 2: I always enjoyed it. Yeah, mostly because it was an

360
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 2: easy trip. You were inside Ford Field was cool. I

361
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 2: like going to Detroit. Nobody believes me, but I always

362
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 2: enjoyed it. No, I understand that Sam and the South

363
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 2: guy here, we've become a society that cannot hold two

364
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 2: thoughts at the same time. It is possible and reasonable

365
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 2: to think that Chris Finch is a very good basketball coach,

366
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 2: but the s missions going on with the team right now.

367
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 2: Anyone who can't see that is pretty simple. I well said,

368
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 2: and even that is arguable. I understand that's all opinion,

369
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 2: hopefully somewhat informed opinion.

370
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: But we should be able to hold those two thoughts.

371
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: It should not be.

372
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 2: Irrational to do it where because then if you again,

373
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 2: if you want to play up that logic, then the

374
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 2: team can never the team, not.

375
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: Just the coach.

376
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 2: The team can never be criticized on the basis of well,

377
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 2: the overall body of work speaks for itself.

378
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: Hey, come on, what do we do one here?

379
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,959
Speaker 2: We got to grow up past that where we have

380
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 2: to revert back to By God, how come we don't

381
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 2: appreciate what we have? It's just it's it's such minor league.

382
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 2: Thinking to me, the blue Bonnet Bowl will be waiting

383
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 2: at the pearly gates.

384
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: Are you old enough to remember?

385
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 2: Because it was it was the blue Bonnet Bowl, then

386
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 2: it became the Astro blue Bonnet Bowl, and then I

387
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 2: think it went back to being the blue Bonnet Bowl.

388
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 1: I don't does it still exist. I think it's gone too.

389
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: I think that one's gone. Yeah, I think that one's gone.

390
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 2: Guardi is the only multi time state champion MotorCity Bowl

391
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 2: reporter as well.

392
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: I think that's got to be true. Right.

393
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 2: It's a pretty rare air, the General Mills Cereal Bowl.

394
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 2: If we hosted one, that'd be great. Like the pop tarts,

395
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 2: that's it. And then and then the winning coach gets

396
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 2: all that all the and then a bunch of milk

397
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 2: and then milk afterwards. Yeah, and then he goes taste good.

398
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 2: Why aren't we in marketing? Why haven't they asked us?

399
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 2: Have we ever had any Has there ever been any

400
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 2: sort of momentum for a Minnesota Bowl? I don't think so.

401
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 2: They're trying to. They've tried to get to Big ten

402
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 2: championship game. Our friends at Minnesota Sports and Events, they

403
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 2: tried to get that in Adanapolis is not going to

404
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 2: allow that.

405
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: I think Vegas is getting it soon. Is that true? Yeah?

406
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: I think so, but I can't remember.

407
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 2: All these games get mixed around, be right, because Indy

408
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 2: controls everything. You ask another question, Sure, who is the

409
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 2: head coach of the Denver Nuggets. His name is Mike Malone.

410
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:39,360
Speaker 2: Not anymore? You're right, David Adalman is the coach now? Exactly?

411
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: Yeah? Did? I'm curious? Did Malone win a title? He did?

412
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 2: Nuggets win a title with Malone as a coach, they did.

413
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 2: He's not coaching anymore.

414
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: No, I see him on ESPN a lot.

415
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 2: So somebody decided, despite the fact that he want it,

416
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 2: they decided to make a change. Did the fans make

417
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 2: that decision or did the owner make that decision?

418
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: Or Nuggets, Twitter or Nuggets?

419
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, And I'm not even defending that right,

420
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 2: But I'm saying this is this, this is the world

421
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 2: in which all these guys know they they they it's

422
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 2: rarefied air man and they're all they're they're all extremely

423
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,479
Speaker 2: well compensated for all of the all of the slings

424
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 2: and arrows they much deal with. That doesn't mean I

425
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 2: think they should necessarily have to take stupid, asinine criticism

426
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 2: that is irrational and doesn't even make any sense. But

427
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,959
Speaker 2: the people who are texting here, I think they're they're

428
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 2: raising questions.

429
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: Johnny and Athletic.

430
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 2: Raised questions yesterday. He certainly made it clear that he

431
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 2: thinks that this is that this coach. His record speaks

432
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 2: for itself, but he raised he asked some questions. It's

433
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 2: okay to do that.

434
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: It's it is a long season.

435
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 2: But part of that is figuring out, okay, what do

436
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 2: we say all along? The challenge is you don't want

437
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 2: to overreact, but you also do not want to underreact

438
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 2: to make up a term or or make up a word.

439
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: U bottom of the hour break? Is that true? We

440
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: can let's do it. Louis at four, did I have

441
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: the right time forward too? Yes?

442
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 2: And then alec Lewis is going to join at five thirty, No,

443
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 2: five to fifteen. Alec Lewis will join, so we'll get

444
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 2: some football with him. Seaffert, who has joined us Tuesdays

445
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 2: for much of the season, is scheduled to join us tomorrow.

446
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 2: So there's still I just don't see any rational reason

447
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 2: to cut back on football coverage. I don't because I

448
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 2: still think there's so much interest and quite frankly, when

449
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 2: the team fires a general manager, it opens up so

450
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 2: many more questions about where this is going, and I

451
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 2: think also underscorees just how crucial an offseason this will be.

452
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: But I guess we kind of say.

453
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 2: That every year with the Minnesota Vikings because there's no

454
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 2: end to the level of interest regarding this particular club.

455
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: So that's the plan.

456
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 2: On the rest of the program, maybe some a section

457
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 2: material and I kind of got a Winter Olympics round

458
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 2: up even before we hit the top five and five

459
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 2: as well. See can you hit our Olympic sounder?

460
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: I just love it so much?

461
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, hold, oh okay, I thought maybe you'd I.

462
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: Hadn't moved it to a button bar yet. You can

463
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 1: use the Sochi one too if you, even though it's

464
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 1: not soci Yep, it's going to be just a second.

465
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 2: Because we definitely have well, there's a lot of good

466
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 2: Olympic stuff to get to, but there's breaking news from Milan,

467
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 2: Cortina that the hockey community, including Kevin Faullness, might be

468
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 2: interested in just a little bit.

469
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: Ready, Yeah, you got to move these over. This is

470
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: a really good it is.

471
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 2: It's well done, it's not over the top, yet it

472
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 2: still feels vital. It feels like something important is at stake.

473
00:26:55,400 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 2: There's a GRAVI toss to it. I like the comen here.

474
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 2: Am I the only one who believes that I can't

475
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 2: name him? I mean that's the big finishes is I'm

476
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 2: sorry I stepped on the touchdown call. I can't name

477
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 2: the Canada women's hockey coach, head coach. But he looks

478
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 2: a little like Chipschoggin's to me. Oh really yeah, just

479
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 2: a little bit okay In any case, no surprise, he

480
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 2: has kind of a glum look on his face.

481
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: This is still the prelim round.

482
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 2: Yes, the US yet again utterly and completely dominating Canada.

483
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 2: Troy Ryan is his name, doesn't he look a little

484
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 2: at Schoggin's like you could be a brother. Five nothing,

485
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 2: five nil, and that's been pretty much. I think the

486
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 2: average score between these two teams.

487
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: We're cooking. Now.

488
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 2: We got to play him again. I think we're both

489
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 2: the sure to getting automatically to the quarters already. But

490
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 2: this was still prelim. We took care of business today.

491
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 2: Five nil. A game just concluded. Bratch On Brian Kpeyan

492
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 2: text line is open at six four six eighty six.

493
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 2: Lawyer Tom Wrights, Are we really all buying the idea

494
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 2: that after one game, the issue regarding the wolves inconsistent

495
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 2: plan and ever has been conclusively sold? Because I'm gonna

496
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 2: wait for a bit and see what happened in a

497
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 2: few more games or weeks or seasons. Yeah, I mean,

498
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 2: that's there's no question about that. Now they needed it.

499
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 2: We talked about the outsized nature of two fairly you know,

500
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 2: nondescript games before the All Star break, simply because of

501
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 2: what had come before, and to that extent, they responded

502
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 2: at a time when they needed to respond for sure.

503
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's gonna be the larger issue. Although I am,

504
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 2: like I said, based on the basil what we saw

505
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 2: again last night, very encouraged about the new kid because

506
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 2: he fits very nicely. You could here's the thing you

507
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 2: can tell about him on a team filled with foul

508
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 2: mood players. He ain't gonna be high maintenance. He's seventy

509
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 2: five and sunny. He ain't gonna be high maintenance. And

510
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 2: it's not like he smiles all the time. He just plays.

511
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 2: So I don't think there's gonna be a lot of

512
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 2: soap opera, a lot of drama involved with Desumo. He's grateful.

513
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 2: I think that's what it is. He's got a grateful heart.

514
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 2: He's grateful to be on He's grateful to be on

515
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 2: the Wolves. Well, it's a funny moment in the locker

516
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 2: room when he was talking about the atmosphere at Target Center.

517
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 2: You know, they were just here the bulls. Yes, that's true.

518
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 2: They beat the Wolves. My family and he was talking

519
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 2: about how great the environment was in the third and

520
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 2: fourth quarter. An aunt chimed in, yeah, that's when I

521
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 2: was cooking you basically, and then Io said, well, yeah,

522
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 2: we won the game.

523
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: It was brilliant. That's pretty good. It was perfect. Yeah,

524
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: it was so good. He's in it to win it.

525
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: I love it. It's what he wants to do.

526
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 2: So again, what will be interesting to see is how

527
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 2: the rotations are affected, you know, I mean, I could

528
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 2: easily see a situation evolving in which at the end

529
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 2: of games, maybe Io's on the court and in a

530
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 2: given game, Devincenzo isn't, or you know, maybe you're going

531
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 2: with a little bit of different lineup. I think there's

532
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 2: every reason to believe you're gonna see this. This kid

533
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 2: play a lot, and I wouldn't at all be surprised

534
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 2: if he's there. He ends up being part of their

535
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 2: prime lineup at the ends of a lot of games

536
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 2: because he's he said, he's very game defensively, he's used

537
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,719
Speaker 2: to guarding good wings. He's not intimidated by any of that.

538
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 2: He's got good size. Now is he always going to

539
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 2: shoot as well as he did last night? Probably not,

540
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 2: but he also had a couple of nights. Here's the

541
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 2: other thing he does. We've improved our pace this year

542
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 2: right from what it has historically been. And that's hard

543
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 2: to do with Rudy, and to a certain extent it's

544
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 2: hard to do with Julius. But what I again noticed

545
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 2: last night is he's going.

546
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: He's gone. He's in the front.

547
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 2: Court in no time with the ball, and at some

548
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 2: point then everybody else has to come along with the ride.

549
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 2: And I think that's going to be another helpful addition

550
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 2: to get some cheap baskets, to get a little bit

551
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 2: ahead of it as well.

552
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: Where was I? Oh, a couple of texts real quick here?

553
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: How about well how about the Mayo Clinic bowl. Oh,

554
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: that'd be a good one.

555
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 2: They got all the money in the world, Big Knocker

556
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 2: could do the coin toss. Well, somebody said, name it

557
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 2: the Big Knocker Bowl. I think that might be two

558
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 2: can't well that and I don't. Yeah, the outside of

559
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 2: our audience, not everybody. I'd love to. I'd like to

560
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 2: think everybody knows about the Big Knocker thing. They probably

561
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 2: don't know, even despite my ego, I think understands that.

562
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: But mail you know something around Mayo Clinic You kidding me?

563
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: Think of all the.

564
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 2: Good they could do with that branding, and again in

565
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 2: terms of raising money for the cause as they're involved

566
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 2: with you kidding me, the Male Clinic Bowl, and maybe

567
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 2: you come up with a fancier title. I don't know name,

568
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 2: but I mean it does does it not right itself? Well? Also,

569
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 2: you could all of their reach. You could pivot off

570
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 2: of the Duke's Mayo Bowl, which I've also been a

571
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 2: sideline reporter for. Yes, you have say, like one bowl

572
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 2: game's gross and the other bowl game changes and saves lives.

573
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: The Male Clinic Bowl, Well you could do that too. Yeah,

574
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: that's true.

575
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 2: One game spends the whole time making their play by play.

576
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 2: People eat stuff with mayonnaise, which is good mayonnaise by

577
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 2: the way, and then we dunked the head coach and

578
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 2: the other one is about saving lives? Which mayo bowl?

579
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 2: Do you want a participated in? And then maybe we

580
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 2: could have the knock or could present the trophy. That

581
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 2: would be How would that be? You would do it well?

582
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 2: Actually though as an IU grad he'd look down on

583
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 2: it because it's it would be a second or third

584
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 2: rate bowl. Early you don't know that. I mean it

585
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 2: might elevate, It could eventually right elevate. You got a

586
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 2: lot of text momentum of the dairy Queen bowl, ice

587
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 2: cream possibilities, the cereal bowls good too.

588
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. We have a lot of good options.

589
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 2: I'm just thinking, like I said that with all their

590
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 2: reach to connect it with something with that medical juggernaut man,

591
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 2: because I mean.

592
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: They're just printing money there.

593
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 2: I mean whatever, what do you think it caught to

594
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 2: like to host it, but to make it your bowl

595
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 2: and to finance it so to speak? What do you

596
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 2: think it costs? Any idea what it might cost? I'm

597
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 2: just going to google it, Yeah, google it, see what

598
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 2: we come up with. How much do companies.

599
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: Pay?

600
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 2: Because it's not just I guess it's the sponsorship. But

601
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,959
Speaker 2: for them it'd be like their deal, their bowl, like

602
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 2: they would have to pay to set everything up and

603
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 2: all that. Yeah, but not really because a lot of

604
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 2: these bulls are owned by ESPN, and because ESPN is

605
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 2: the one.

606
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, ESPN's the reason there's so many balls.

607
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 2: That's it. Because they want they want to fill TV times.

608
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 2: They want to fill TV time.

609
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: That's true. That's a great point.

610
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 2: So it really only costs according to the AI overview here,

611
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 2: it really it could cost anywhere from three hundred and

612
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:13,320
Speaker 2: seventy five grand to a million's that's.

613
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:18,240
Speaker 1: Like, that's like tip change for Mayol Mocker and Mayo Clinic.

614
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 2: It could cost Yeah, the Texas Bowl got Kinders for

615
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 2: roughly three million annually. Now, if you want a major

616
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 2: bowl like the New Year's six bowls in the playoffs,

617
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 2: those are like twenty.

618
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: To thirty mil. Those are they got that too? They

619
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:33,959
Speaker 1: could do that too. You could do that too. Answer

620
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 1: to something, does the Cleveland Clinic.

621
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 2: Have a bowl? I wondered if anybody would jump in

622
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 2: on the Cleveland Clinic. I don't think they do.

623
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: No, they don't.

624
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 2: Is there any other major medical establishment connected on that

625
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 2: level to a Bowl.

626
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: I'll have to think about it. Not one that osion

627
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: I haven't paid attention to it. Yeah, that one that

628
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:50,720
Speaker 1: I've been to. Yeah.

629
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 2: Well, I mean we're here to help if they're interested.

630
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 2: Mayo Clinic knows how to get ahold of us. I've

631
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 2: got two utterly and completely unrelated items. One of them

632
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 2: is about Chris maddele and one of them is about

633
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 2: Bill Musgrave. Muskgrave, You remember him, the Musgrave Diggers. Correct? Yeah,

634
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 2: which do you want first? They're not related. Let's two Musgrave.

635
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 2: Let's go to football. He's back hired. Somebody just hired

636
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 2: him to be their quarterbacks coach. And now I can't

637
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 2: remember what team it was, right, But the only reason

638
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 2: I bring it up, of course, is Bill Musgrave is

639
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 2: in the Guinness Book of World Records as having possessed

640
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 2: the smallest play card in the a sideline play card

641
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 2: in the history of the National Football League.

642
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: New York Jets hired him as the QB coach. Jets.

643
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 2: Remember that small card? Yes, I knew that's where you

644
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:41,959
Speaker 2: were going, right when you brought it up. I think

645
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 2: his card and you know else has a small card.

646
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: Bflow.

647
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 2: Bflow's card is not huge, but I think, you go,

648
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 2: we's defense, so there's not as many possibilities, even though

649
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 2: Beeflow has got a lot of different permutations of his

650
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 2: of his defense, but offense, everybody loses their mind because

651
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 2: they want to believe it's almost flipped Saunders like with

652
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,399
Speaker 2: his sixty you know, like three hundred and fifty page

653
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 2: playoff where you go you got to have a big

654
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 2: play because if you have a big play card, that

655
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 2: means that the possibilities in your offense are endless. And

656
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 2: then you see Musgrave with a postage stamp of a car,

657
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 2: and it was like, oh, we got four Yeah, no

658
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,879
Speaker 2: wonder we had got four plays? Was he can't fit

659
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,320
Speaker 2: any more plays on that card? Was he Leslie Fraser's

660
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator. That's a good question.

661
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 1: I feel like he.

662
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 2: Is kind of he's been in the league forever now.

663
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 2: I don't know where he was last year. I've lost

664
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:45,240
Speaker 2: track of Muskgrave. But I hadn't had you considered this,

665
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 2: This is from a textra mark we'll never get a

666
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 2: Bowl in Minnesota because Governor Wallace has made Minnesota an

667
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 2: absolute laughing stock? Did you see that coming today on

668
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 2: the Bengal card? I should have I guess we should

669
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 2: have called the fraud ball. So they were people were

670
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 2: ready to commit financially to a ball that's in Minnesota.

671
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 2: You can't go there, go there the future, we can't

672
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 2: go there, Governor Walls, what are we gonna do?

673
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, how are we going to get any a man

674
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 1: of mini in Minnesota? It's when when you got that

675
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 1: kind of one track mine, man, God bless you seriously,

676
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: that's that's that's new creativity.

677
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 2: How about the spam Bowl be a good one. It'd

678
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,399
Speaker 2: be a good one. And that's all the angle, local angle. Yep,

679
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 2: and you just what would you like for that celebration?

680
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 2: You'd open those cans and just drop off spam cutlets

681
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 2: on over the head of the winning coach.

682
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,439
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, that's what you would have to do. Yes,

683
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: you'd have to do that.

684
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 2: Musgraves placard was tiny because it only had to say,

685
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 2: get Adrian the ball Adrian Peterson. He was the coordinator

686
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 2: from twenty eleven to twenty thirteen, so that would have

687
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 2: been Fraser interesting. Yeah, yeah, it's outstanding, all right, that

688
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 2: was the Musgrave item.

689
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:05,399
Speaker 1: You want the.

690
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 2: I know that the texture I just quoted is gonna

691
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 2: love our Chris Maddel Nugget of the day. Well, actually

692
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 2: there's two on Mattel. Okay, I'm ready for both. I

693
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 2: think I mentioned this to you. I know I mentioned

694
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 2: it on air. Maddele was on the CNN. Is it

695
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 2: I think it's Abby Phillip. Is it Philip or Phillips?

696
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 2: We double check her last name. She's got the like

697
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 2: I want to say, it's nine o'clock Eastern, No nin

698
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 2: o'clock Central, Free for All CNN show where Abby Phillip?

699
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: No s right?

700
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 2: Correct, Okay, and it's it's she's the traffic cop basically.

701
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 2: And then it's the old all right, we're gonna get

702
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 2: like three three sharks and three jets and we're just

703
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 2: gonna let it's gonna be a free for all. Right. Well,

704
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 2: Maddele did it last week one day I happened to

705
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 2: paunt it and he almost got into a fistfight during it.

706
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: Well, now my source is today he's going to do

707
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 1: it again. CNN. They love it.

708
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 2: They see the potential here, they like the clicks, so

709
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 2: I hope it doesn't end up moving. But no, the

710
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 2: other here's the other. Did you see this Maddele item

711
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 2: on X This is a tweet from Chris Maddel.

712
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: I don't think I did.

713
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 2: US Attorney's Office for Minnesota application question quote, how would

714
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 2: you help advance the president's executive orders and policy priorities

715
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 2: in this role?

716
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:33,240
Speaker 1: That's a question, that's the question.

717
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 2: A question is that the job to which Maddel said wrote,

718
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 2: DOJ should be a political This reveals what happens when

719
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 2: children run.

720
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,479
Speaker 1: Our major institution. Mattle in your face.

721
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, he hits seal approval for me on that one.

722
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean I should have been ready for

723
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 2: that too. Sorry, we're playing a lot of the bits today. Yeah, we.

724
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 1: Haven't done that in a while. It's the bumper to

725
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:02,320
Speaker 1: Bumper seal approofal nicely played by.

726
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 2: Uh Chris Maddele, who's getting quoted a lot. Andy Luger

727
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 2: is getting quoted a lot too. I think he was

728
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 2: quoted in New York Times story frequent guests of the

729
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,959
Speaker 2: Bumper to Bumper program for a reason.

730
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: And big JJ McCarthy fan. He is, he's I mean

731
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: he is.

732
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 2: He may be the number one JJ McCarthy fan in

733
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 2: the state of Minnesota. So I'm being serious. He is

734
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 2: doubling and tripling down on his belief in JJ McCarthy.

735
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 2: He's making it just about the offensive line, and that's

736
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 2: part of it. We still need a center right for

737
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 2: the like the third straight year, I think we do,

738
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 2: and keep needing centers over and over again.

739
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: What about the Lando Legs butter Bowl, that's good too.

740
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 2: Remake statues of the two head coaches like those at

741
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 2: the States there. We do have too many fortunes. In

742
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 2: all seriousness, I know we're never going to get one.

743
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 2: Number one because the walls right, because he's made it

744
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 2: a hell hole. But number two because it's so cold,

745
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 2: We're never goetting until less. Here's the other wrinkle, Dan,

746
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 2: there's a lot of not a lot of momentum, but

747
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 2: there's a lot of there's a small ground swell and

748
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 2: I don't like this, and it'll never happen to move

749
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 2: ball games to like the summer or right before the season. Seriously, yes,

750
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 2: and then once the regular season ends, you do the

751
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 2: playoff and then you move on. I don't think the

752
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 2: worst idea. I just don't see in practicality how it

753
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 2: ever worked. But like coaches, my guy knew Heisel's brought

754
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 2: it up a bunch, and I don't see how it's

755
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 2: gonna work. But we could have a ball game in

756
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 2: the summer. We could do it at Huntington Bank, and

757
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 2: you wouldn't have to listen to all the crap about

758
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 2: our bad well weather exactly because it's true. That's the

759
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 2: reason why it won't come. But there's so many I mean,

760
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 2: there's so many Fortune five hundred companies that would love

761
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 2: to have a Bowl game here. Would be so easy. Well,

762
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,879
Speaker 2: we can have a bowl game indoors here. We could, Yes,

763
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 2: it's it's unlikely because of the weather. You know, that's

764
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 2: why Detroit got the bad What do you mean why

765
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:52,320
Speaker 2: was it as indoors? So what the hell is the

766
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 2: difference on their weather? Because fans just don't want to

767
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 2: come and spend three days in your city when it's cold.

768
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: A city that embraces winter like we do, that's different.

769
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 2: I agree. That's why I liked the Detroit. I was

770
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,240
Speaker 2: one of a dozen people that didn't hate Detroit.

771
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 1: Here's the reason.

772
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 2: As much as I whine about it. Regarding all the

773
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 2: extra bowls, I don't think they're ever going to go away, is.

774
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:11,320
Speaker 1: What you said.

775
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 2: If you look at that gap in time now between

776
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 2: what would be I guess the postseason tournament in the

777
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 2: end of the regular season, especially around the holidays, there's

778
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 2: just too many open open dates for ESPN one, two, three,

779
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 2: four in the ochho to fill right. So they still

780
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 2: want programming. And guess what, people watch them? You put

781
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 2: them on TV. People watch those games.

782
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,720
Speaker 1: I just do. The Rate Bowl was like six million,

783
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: four millions, six millions, something like that.

Speaker 2: She will always remind me that the male Clinic is

787
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,280
Speaker 2: a nonprofit organization and a quarter mile.

788
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,720
Speaker 1: In what does that mean? Say it again?

789
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 2: She will always remind me that the mail Clinic is

790
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 2: a nonprofit organization in a quarter mile? Was that?

791
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 1: What does that ending mean? Him? Is that a joke

792
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,839
Speaker 1: I'm missing? I don't know. That's Marty from Maybe that's

793
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 1: just how richfield, that's how much space it takes up.

794
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know. Louis at the top of the hour,

795
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 1: is that correct? Yes?

796
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 2: And then Alex Lewis stuck more football at five thirty, No,

797
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 2: five point fifteen.

798
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 1: You told me, Oh, I thought I had I thought

799
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 1: it was a Wolves and five one, But it wasn't.

800
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 1: It was just a shot at me. Very different. Oh no,

801
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: here's you know.

802
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,399
Speaker 2: The nickname that you may not have heard that has

803
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 2: been suggested for me a week or so ago was

804
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 2: Dan Tifa. Oh yeah, I did hear that, Dantifa. Yes,

805
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 2: here's a new one. Bad Bunny Barrero bad. It's a

806
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 2: good alliteration. I do like that, dfl Dan couldn't even

807
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 2: go one hour without getting political. So again, and here's

808
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 2: the irony.

809
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,320
Speaker 1: Chris Mattel, a Republican.

810
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 2: Criticizes the administration for one of the questions asked of

811
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,240
Speaker 2: incoming attorneys to work at the US Attorney's Office.

812
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 1: And why is he complaining about it?

813
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 2: He believes, you know, being the naive individually is that

814
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 2: the DOJ should be relatively apolitical. So a guy who knows,

815
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 2: who understands how this system works is decrying the politics

816
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 2: of this situation, and my bringing it up is the

817
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 2: part that's political. So for that individual, there is no

818
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:53,280
Speaker 2: discussion about the possibility that the question itself is political.

819
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: That's just okay.

820
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 2: That gets grandfathered in, and anybody raising any questions about.

821
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: It, they're the ones being political. Let me read what

822
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: Mattle set again.

823
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 2: DOJ should be a political This reveals what happens when

824
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,879
Speaker 2: children run our major institutions.

825
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: You cannot make it up.

826
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:15,280
Speaker 2: All right, we'll make this a top the hour pause

827
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 2: got questions for Luigi?

828
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 1: Now's the time?

829
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 2: Bratch on Brian kfan text line is open at six

830
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 2: four six eight six at six four six eighty six.

831
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 2: I don't think that's likely. They'd be a cafe in

832
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 2: bull I don't know that we have the money for now.

833
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 2: Now I wish we did. It'd be nice, wouldn't it.

834
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 2: It'd be fun, It'd be very fun, pregame, in game

835
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,479
Speaker 2: and postgame commentary from all the shows. How good would

836
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 2: that be? But I don't think we can count on it,

837
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 2: do you not? In this climate and environment. Maybe someday
