1 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: It's time headache. I do. 2 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 2: Right now. He's brought to us by RBC Wealth Management 3 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 2: two athletic subscriptions. 4 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 3: I only bought one. 5 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 2: I have a sneaking suspicion the Wolves are done sons 6 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 2: and four that's from flim Flam Wow shots from Dylan. 7 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 2: It might have been Dylan the villain. That's why I 8 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:41,160 Speaker 2: brought it up. That's getting a lot of I dare say, 9 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 2: in my opinion, way too much attention. Too many Wolves 10 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 2: people have bit on exactly what Dylan offered up. We 11 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 2: this's the team where we want to play in the playoffs. 12 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 2: I I would not have given him the satisfaction of 13 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 2: reacting to it because I think there's been way too 14 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: much reaction. What do you make of it? 15 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like I well, first of all, I 16 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: do understand Wolves fans wanting to react because he's such 17 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: a loathsome personality that you just you want to dunk 18 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: on him, you want to punch him in the face, 19 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,960 Speaker 1: you want to do all of those things. And and 20 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 1: but that's also what he feeds off of. That's what 21 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: she wants. Yeah, he wants that response. He has been very, 22 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: very good this season for the Phoenix Sun and so 23 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: it is clear that he is already trying to set 24 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: it up to win some kind of psychological battle against 25 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 1: the wolves. And so in some ways, the fans, at 26 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: least I don't know how the players have reacted yet, 27 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: but the fans are kind of walking into his trap 28 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: right now. And this is where he wants you guys, 29 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: is what I would say. And and you followed it, 30 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: you know you you you've you've followed it right in 31 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: and now you're you're hanging from the tree one legged 32 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: that after it kind of got came up and got you. 33 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: So that's what he wants the mission accomplished on his part. 34 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: But I would not be unhappy with a Wolf Sun's 35 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: first round matchup. If that's the way it went for 36 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: the war, let me do it. 37 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 2: Then they make the toss up question a more general 38 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 2: one about the current condition of the Western Conference. And 39 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 2: I ask because every year we assume, oh my god, 40 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 2: what a meat grinder the Western Conference is the number 41 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 2: of teams you have to go through, the number of 42 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 2: teams that might be viewed as legitimate, if not championship contenders, 43 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,679 Speaker 2: contenders to make a big time run. But I want 44 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 2: an updated view based on what we have with what 45 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 2: eighteen nineteen games left in the season, if there's any 46 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 2: changes from let's say, if you go back to the 47 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 2: beginning of the season, about who scared you compared to 48 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 2: who has gotten your attention now? Is it still man, 49 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 2: there's still five or six teams where I go, I 50 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 2: wouldn't want to go near any of them. Is it no, 51 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: there's a couple that have set braided themselves. Or how 52 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 2: do you view I'm asking you basically to view the 53 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 2: wolves most important competition based on the way this season 54 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 2: has played out to this point. 55 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I do think two things have changed demonstrably from 56 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: the start of the season with regard to the Western Conference. One, 57 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: first and foremost, I thought I thought, and a lot 58 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: of people thought, it was going to be like one 59 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: through thirteen. It's going to be a battle and every 60 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: single night, and you're gonna go on the road and 61 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: you're gonna face Utah and Portland and all these other teams, 62 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: and it's going to be really, really difficult. And really 63 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: what we have seen is there's been more tankers or 64 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: more struggling teams in the West than certainly I thought. 65 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: Golden States joined that group. Utah has been a just 66 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: a ridiculous embarrassment, you know, Sacramento, all of these teams, 67 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: and so it's been a lot weaker at the bottom 68 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: than I thought. But then the big change at the 69 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: top is I was not worried at all of San 70 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: Antonio going into the season. Now I think everyone needs 71 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: to be incredibly worried. Yes, they are young, they have 72 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: not won the playoff series yet. In almost always in 73 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: the NBA, you have to win a round or two 74 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: and then lose, and that's how you learn and you 75 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 1: grow in the playoffs and you go forward. And that 76 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: very well may be the case for these Spurs. But man, 77 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: I mean, well, looks unbelievable. Harper and Castle look big 78 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: and tough, and they are looking like as much of 79 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: a challenger in the West as okayc is right now. 80 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: And so the Spurs have definitely jumped up. Maybe Denver 81 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: has fallen back, just to pitch, but San Antonio is 82 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,239 Speaker 1: a team that I look at and you say, man, 83 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: that is going to be a monster of a series 84 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: to deal with for whoever gets them in round one, 85 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: Round two, round three. However that shakes out. 86 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 2: Do we look at the Saturday game as just another 87 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 2: inevitable series of hiccups that the Wolves are not the 88 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 2: only team that have occasionally fall privy to or was 89 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 2: it a little bit more concerning given the I think 90 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 2: when we end up losing by twenty seven, maybe that 91 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 2: shouldn't matter. How did you view the Saturday Matt Ne affair? 92 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, for right now, at this moment, I'm 93 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 1: willing to, you know, kind of move past that. Fairly 94 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: quickly teams lose in this league. It just happens. The 95 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: Wolves have been played really well, uh at won five 96 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: in a row. They're six and one after the break 97 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: until that law and sometimes that it happens, and you 98 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: look at how many games are Dante DiVincenzo, Jade McDaniels, 99 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: and I would assume we're going to go one for 100 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: twenty one from the field. Like that's just that's an 101 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: anomalous thing. And so it's kind of easy to kind 102 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,799 Speaker 1: of move past that. But you know, if they if 103 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: that kind of lingers and they go into La tomorrow 104 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: night and play the Lakers and lay another egg, that 105 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: then you start to just wonder a little bit more 106 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: about it. But uh, you know, I'll kind of give 107 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: them the pass on that just because I don't usually 108 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: see that poorum shooting from three of their main guys, 109 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: and and you just let them move on from it. 110 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: But we'll see how they respond to it in LA 111 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: tomorrow night and and and see if there's if there's 112 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: any more there than just the normal hiccups that happen 113 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: to I promise you will, fans, Almost every team in 114 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: the league goes through these little things, these these little losses. 115 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 1: It does happen. You don't need to fire everyone and 116 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: trade everyone after just one of these things, you know, 117 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: crops up. 118 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 2: Do you believe the master plan is now being set 119 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 2: as the Wolves going forward into the rest of the 120 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 2: season and the playoffs with basically a nine man rotation 121 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:47,559 Speaker 2: for sure. 122 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's definitely set up, and it may even be 123 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 1: eight point five Dan terms of you know, you look 124 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: at how Chris Finch will use it, and I do 125 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: kind of think that, you know, obviously of the starting five, 126 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: and then you of Nasried and I just to move 127 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: our in Stone like though that's your top seven. And 128 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: then I do think he's going to look at basically 129 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: Bone Thailand and Kyle Anderson, and if Bones is having 130 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: one of those off nights, the shot isn't falling where 131 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: he's turning things over, then you're going to see heavy 132 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: Kyle Anderson minutes. If Bones is rolling and he's scoring 133 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: twelve points in ten minutes, then you're gonna see more 134 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: Bones and less Kyle. I don't think you're going to 135 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: see a whole lot of Terrence Shannon Jr. You may 136 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: see Baron Jay like just spot minutes here and there, 137 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: depending on follow trouble. But yes, I think it's those 138 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: nine and that last that eighth spot is going to 139 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: kind of fluctuate depending on opponent and depending on the 140 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: performance of Bone Thailand on that particular. 141 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 2: Night, and that certainly sounds more favorable than I felt 142 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 2: about their bench. I don't know halfway through the season 143 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 2: right because I have to admit maybe I got two 144 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 2: down on Bones Highland. 145 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 3: Maybe that's part of the issue. 146 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 2: But he has shown, you know, some improvement and has 147 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 2: shown there on many nights there is a place for him, 148 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 2: especially now paired with the Sumu, where you can maybe 149 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 2: change the pace a little bit and they can get 150 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 2: out a run a little bit, and so you at 151 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 2: least I think, do see the semblance once again the 152 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 2: makings of a bench. It may not be the same 153 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 2: bench from two years ago, but a bench that does 154 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 2: give you a chance to continue to compete. 155 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely. I think that was one of their weaknesses 156 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: at the start of the season because they were trying 157 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: to get Dillian Ham and Shannon into the mix, and 158 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: both of those guys, for various reasons, it was not 159 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: working out. And so then basically they got into a 160 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: situation where if Nasrid wasn't scoring fifteen points or eighteen points, 161 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: they weren't going to get much production from their bench 162 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: at all. Now you have the Summu in there, who 163 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: I just really love the fit, even though some of 164 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: the games haven't been perfect so far, I just really 165 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: think that he's as close to Nick Heel Alexander Walker 166 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: as you're going to get. And so that's been a 167 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: big help. And you're right, Bones just is the perfect 168 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: eighth guy or ninth guy in terms of a microwave, 169 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: and you throw him out there and then you see 170 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 1: if he can just change the energy on the court 171 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 1: when you need it, get a couple of threes, get 172 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: out and run, score and transition, and then if it's 173 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: not happening, Dan, it's not the end of the world anymore. 174 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: When you have Io there, and you can go to 175 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,959 Speaker 1: Kyle Anderson if you need more steadiness, if you need 176 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: just more playmaking in IQ out there, then you go 177 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,559 Speaker 1: to him. And so they have versatility now that they 178 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: did not have before. And I think that makes them 179 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: a lot more dangerous in the playoffs, just to be 180 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: able to match up depending on the opponent and whatever 181 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: is happening in a given game. 182 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 2: Why do all your trips happen to be to Los 183 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 2: Angeles when you're tracking the Wolves or to California. I 184 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 2: mean that's good, it is, But. 185 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: If the Grizzlies were in case Engine, uh, you know, 186 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,119 Speaker 1: if it was you know, if it was the Pacers 187 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: that that was a big game, I'd go there. I 188 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: go where the big games are. Dan, I'm a big 189 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: game journalist. I'm a big game guy. So Lakers Wolves 190 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: on Tuesday night is a big one, and then the 191 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 1: next day is the Clippers, and so it's why why 192 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: wouldn't you just stick around? It's right next door, So 193 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,719 Speaker 1: I might as well just hang around and get to 194 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: for the price to one. I will be in Oklahoma 195 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: City this weekend well for that throwdown. So I just 196 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: go where the games are, Man and That's that's all 197 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: I can do. 198 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 2: Uh is Lebron supposed to be ready by Tuesday. He 199 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 2: didn't play in their victory over the Nicks yesterday? 200 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 1: Did he We did not play. And it is interesting, 201 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: you know, I think it's I think they said that 202 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: he's got some kind of arthritis or something that he's 203 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 1: dealing with, and a few other things, so it's unclear. 204 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: The real interesting thing right now for the Lakers, dan Is, 205 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: is that when Lebron sits out, they usually play really 206 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: really well. With with Don Chic and Reeves in that group, 207 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: it's when all three of them are together that they 208 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 1: really play their worst basketball. And so crazy as it 209 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: may sound, the Wolves may hope that Lebron plays on 210 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: Tuesday night because that's when the Lakers have looked their 211 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: most vulnerable. I don't know exactly why that is, but 212 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,559 Speaker 1: just the three pieces don't seem to mesh quite as well. 213 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,559 Speaker 2: You Know, what I thought i'd read or heard was 214 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 2: that when just two of the not just a matter 215 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 2: of Lebron being the guy, when just two of the three, 216 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 2: regardless of which one is out, are left, that the 217 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 2: team has tended to be better. I'm sure people you 218 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 2: know can tract that sort of thing, and I guess 219 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 2: some it probably has to do with the old They 220 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 2: all kind of like the ball, right, and they all 221 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 2: kind of need the ball to be to be influential. 222 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 2: So it'd be interesting to see how that plays out. 223 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 2: RBC Wealth Management brings us Johnny Athletic bonus Ben Gesling 224 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 2: at five point thirty today. 225 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 3: Are you all in. 226 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 2: On what now is apparently all but a done deal, 227 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 2: Kyler Murray coming to the Vikings? 228 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: You know? I'm in in the respect of I don't 229 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: think that there was anything better out there, and so 230 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: would I like Kyler Murray at thirty million or forty 231 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: million dollars a year forty five? No, I would hate that. 232 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: Do I like him at one point five million? Yeah? 233 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: I do? Comparatively speaking, I just didn't think Dan that, 234 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: aside from the impossible kind of scenario of trading for 235 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, I don't think that there's a quarterback out 236 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: there that, if they were to get you'd say, Okay, 237 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: no problem, They're all set. Super Bowl here we come. 238 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: And so Murray has produced in the past, he is 239 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: an entirely different quarterback, So I think it will require 240 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: some adaptability from koc that maybe we necessarily have not 241 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: seen to this point in his Viking tenure as head coach, 242 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: But he certainly does have a ceiling on him that 243 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: if you were to reach it a little higher than 244 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: I think a lot of the other guys that were available. 245 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: So at one point five million, sure, why not give 246 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: it a shot. But it's certainly not going to be 247 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: one of those where I look at and say, Okay, 248 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: they have him, all problems are solved. I'm going to 249 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: be ready to work at the first weekend in February 250 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,319 Speaker 1: at the super Bowl for this team. I just don't 251 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: think it's that easy and that simple. 252 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 3: I can't get you to bite on a can. 253 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 1: I I would take him. I said it last year. 254 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: I would take him because a it would be incredibly 255 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: compelling theater for another former packer legend to come back here. 256 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: He likes to rock the boat, you know. He wants 257 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: to kind of give you answers with a twinkle in 258 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: his eye and a smirk and get everyone in it's 259 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: hissy like. As a storyteller and a journalist, I'd love it. 260 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: How much does he have left in the tank? I 261 00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: don't know, man, I really don't. Does he have more 262 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: more than Kyler Murray. Maybe he's a you know, but 263 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: it's clear. It sure seems clear to me that the 264 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: Vikings don't want to deal with that headache right now 265 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: and they see a younger Murray as the better one. 266 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 1: But I sign me up if you were to come here, 267 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: I'd be there at the introductory press conference and riding 268 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: that whole thing through because it would be a roller 269 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: coaster in every way. You would want as a journalist 270 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: to just just tell that story on. 271 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 2: Air production meeting guards you will you have ready for 272 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 2: me in a moment the sound I asked for from 273 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 2: Steve Kerr because I do want to play that for 274 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 2: Johnny in a little bit. Maybe we'll do that towards 275 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 2: the end of our segment with with Johnny Athletic, let's 276 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 2: talk high school hockey for a moment. Yeah, a dramatic 277 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 2: as good a day and night of high school hockey 278 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 2: as you can hope for. Correct both games going to 279 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 2: believe Class A double A goes into double overtime. There's 280 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 2: been a lot discussion since, and by the way, we 281 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 2: spent almost the first hour of Sunday sermons on the 282 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 2: hockey on how much it paid off the whole bit, 283 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 2: but eventually we did get to We didn't lead with 284 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 2: it's important, but we did eventually get to a couple 285 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 2: of things. 286 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 3: What Guardzis High School did. 287 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 2: In the semifinals at the end of the game, which 288 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 2: in which as close to a full all out brawl 289 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 2: as I remember seeing in a high school bleeping hockey game, 290 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 2: for God's sake, broke out, and a lot of it 291 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 2: seemed to be IDNA just incapable of dealing with the 292 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 2: fact that they got beat. But then that got lost 293 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 2: a little bit because Sunday as Minnetaka's blowing a three 294 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 2: nothing lead and then a four to one lead to 295 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 2: lose in doubt, I got a lot of texts from 296 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 2: people saying, I don't understand this whole bit. Where as 297 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 2: soon as the medal is put on you, it's like 298 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 2: you're trying to tear it off. It's just it's just 299 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 2: it's not a good look, no matter how much of 300 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 2: a tradition it's becoming in some places, and it's kind 301 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 2: of disappointing. I was more disappointed by the news that 302 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 2: nobody showed up to the postgame presser, which I know 303 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 2: you noted the night before, and I in a pecking order? 304 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 2: Am I going to be it's frustrated with the players 305 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 2: for not showing up. As the coach. No, again, it's 306 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 2: high school kids. I would still recommend you try, you 307 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 2: find a way. I know it's devastating, it's awful, But 308 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 2: to me, again I don't headline it, I don't lead 309 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 2: with it. But the coach has got to show right, 310 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 2: I mean, the coach has to show up. That's a 311 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 2: tone that's so important to set because you know what, 312 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 2: I know, high school hockey or high school sports generally, 313 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 2: even in twenty twenty six covered differently anything else. I mean, 314 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 2: people in their minds might say, man, that's a you know, bad, 315 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 2: need to blow whatever, But they're not going to savage 316 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 2: the team. In fact, in a game that goes in 317 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 2: and still ends up going to double overtime, they're go, 318 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 2: you go, that's an all timer. That's one of those 319 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 2: games are going to be remembering for a while. And 320 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 2: to me, that was the one thing that did kind 321 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 2: of take away from it. What did you think? 322 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you said it perfectly, Dan. Did I 323 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: like watching what the players did ripping the metals off, No, 324 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: I thought that looked spoiled. I thought that looked p extullent. 325 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 1: But I'm willing to give sixteen seventeen eighteen year old 326 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: kids passes on that You're not going to be acting 327 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: your best self all the time and the most mature, 328 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 1: well rounded individual in that moment. But what I will 329 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 1: say is I think one of the reasons some of 330 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: them did act that way is the head coach has 331 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 1: to set a tone of how you lose with grace 332 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: and dignity. And you cannot hockey fans and MINNETAKA fans 333 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 1: and head coaches and all that. You cannot spend all 334 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,919 Speaker 1: years saying this Minnesota State High School hockey Tournament is 335 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 1: better than anything in the world. This is another level. 336 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: You have to be there and experience it. It's such 337 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: special occasion. And then say, well, we don't have to 338 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: do media at that, and that, why do I have 339 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: to do that like that, I don't owe you anything 340 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 1: when you don't owe the media anything, but what you do, oh, 341 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: is you owe your kids setting an example of hey, 342 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 1: this is how you handle defeat and adversity. And also, yes, 343 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 1: you're right, they're not Goldsworthy. Was not going to be 344 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: put over the colls. Why did you why didn't you 345 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: change this line with that lie? Why didn't you do this? 346 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 1: Why didn't do you? What he's gonna when he had 347 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: the opportunity to do is get up there when his 348 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: team had its heart ripped out and was probably a 349 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: little embarrassed and say, you know what, this team was 350 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: number one in the state all year. I am so 351 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: proud of these kids. They fought, it didn't go our way. 352 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,360 Speaker 1: We're gonna be better for this over the long haul. 353 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 1: We're gonna learn from this, We're gonna grow from this. 354 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: But these guys, they put their blood, sweat and tears 355 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 1: on the ice for me, and I couldn't be more 356 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: damn proud. And instead this guy goes and runs and 357 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 1: hides and it just looks very cowardly and very petulant 358 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 1: in the moment. And so when you see him act 359 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 1: that way, then you say, you know what, maybe I 360 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: know why those kids acted that way in that moment. 361 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: Maybe the example is being set in the wrong direction. 362 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: And I just I frankly thought it was unprofessional and 363 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: he missed the moment. I really think that. 364 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 2: Well, you hit on a key part of this is 365 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 2: if if you want this event to be trumpeted as 366 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 2: more than a high school event, right, this is the event, 367 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 2: This is our crown jewel. Yeah, that means you're saying 368 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 2: it's big. It's covered as if it's big, wall to wall, TV, radio, 369 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 2: the fan, et cetera. If you believe that and you 370 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 2: want to strut about it and say we all have 371 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 2: to be proud of it, you can't suddenly say, as 372 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 2: some Texters did a Sunday morning, Oh, come on, what's 373 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,160 Speaker 2: a big deal. It's just you know, it's exactly it's 374 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 2: being a little frustrated. It's like, well, no, no, no, 375 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 2: this you're telling me all along that this is different 376 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 2: than any other high school event in its largeness, in 377 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 2: its bigness, right, And it's at the moment when it's 378 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 2: convenient for it, it's like, oh, it's just another high 379 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:16,719 Speaker 2: school game. 380 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 3: You know, other high school kids. 381 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 2: What's the big deal? So it doesn't have to be 382 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 2: the story of the century. We know there's a lot 383 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 2: more serious stories going on right now in the world 384 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 2: of sports and beyond. But I just think it was 385 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 2: so unnecessary. And if I felt like that the coach 386 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,640 Speaker 2: was going to be in front of a firing squad 387 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,199 Speaker 2: of jackals going as you say, why did you make 388 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 2: this change or how about a time out here, coach 389 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 2: or whatever. No one was going to do. 390 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 3: That after a game like that. That's the part that 391 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 3: we go. 392 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 2: Everything would have been positive, even about losing, as odd 393 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 2: as that sounds. And at the moment it's hard because 394 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 2: they've had such an incredible season. They're the top seed. 395 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 2: It's there for them twice. But no one was going 396 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 2: to be pounding away at them. Nobody that matters there 397 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 2: is going to be pounding away at them, other than 398 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 2: maybe a few online trolls. And so you bring it 399 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 2: down to a place that it never would have gotten to. 400 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 2: It would have just been about the bigness of the 401 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 2: event and the bigness of the game itself, championship. 402 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: Game well, and one other thing on that dan which 403 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 1: we have seen from this coach and these and this 404 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 1: team before because they've won it before, right and others. 405 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: If they won the game, if they had closed that out, 406 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,959 Speaker 1: who would have been front and center answering every question 407 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,360 Speaker 1: that you wanted? This coach Goldsworthy would have out there 408 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: and talked about how great it was and how great 409 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 1: their team was. And he would have been out there 410 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: and sharing and doing everything and so if you're going 411 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: to do that, if it is a big deal when 412 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: you win, but all of a sudden when you lose, 413 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: I don't have to do any of this. That's that's 414 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 1: the long message. Yes, like that does not do anything 415 00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 1: for your kids to show because this is not the 416 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: last big game they're going to lose in their hockey careers, 417 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: or if they go on to play in colleges, and 418 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: not the last bit of adversity they're going to have 419 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: in their lives and that and they just you know, 420 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: it just missed it out. It was really just it 421 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: was unfortunate. You're right. I don't think he should be fired. 422 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: I don't think he should be suspended or anything like that. 423 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: It's just unfortunate that that's the way it happened, and 424 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 1: it just sets the wrong tone of that unfortunately. 425 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 3: Fairness and savagery. 426 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 2: An unnamed Texter who's listening to this and your comments 427 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 2: wrote this, I just want to I just I feel 428 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 2: like it's if I'm going to be fair, I have 429 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 2: to address this with you and then you can respond. 430 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 2: I think talk must have handed Johnny and Blaine football 431 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 2: a bad loss back in the day. Is there anything 432 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 2: to no personal that's a part of this particular rant 433 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 2: on your part. 434 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 1: You know what, He's not wrong whoever sent that in, 435 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: because you know, we never played them and lost at 436 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: least during my time at Blaine, but they did steal 437 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: head football coach from Blaine, the guy Dave Nelson, who 438 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,439 Speaker 1: is like one of the major influences in my entire life. 439 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 2: Well, we called him Nelly, and we got a great 440 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 2: vibe with him. We call him Nelly, the amazing guy. 441 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: And and and he and and they threw a gobs 442 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: of money at him and all the power and everything, 443 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,120 Speaker 1: and and he went. And you know, he's on Lake 444 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: Minnetonka and living living the life down there, and so uh, 445 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 1: maybe there is a little bitterness there about that. But 446 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: I can guarantee you if he would have lost that game, 447 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: he would have been talking to the media all the same. 448 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 3: That's so good. 449 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 2: Well did you hear what Seaffert said, Because Seffert in 450 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,880 Speaker 2: the middle of this, this this whole culture, he's devastated, 451 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 2: he said, he said, all I want to say to 452 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 2: all the then and the detractors, We'll be. 453 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 1: Back, he said. 454 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 3: Kevin Seffert is on it. 455 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 2: He is in. 456 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 3: He is embedded. 457 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: Man what one of the jackals, one of the journals 458 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: wants to, as Brad Childers say, shoot come down the 459 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: hill and shoot the wounded. Yes, and now he now 460 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 1: he's covering for them and the little engine that could 461 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,679 Speaker 1: at Minnetaka. And and and they'll be back after this. 462 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll be about that. 463 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 4: There was a cloud over the Mike Jamboree yesterday in Minnetaka. 464 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 4: I won't lie. There was a cloud the mites.

My might was devastated. Yeah, by 468 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,239 Speaker 2: the way, a text to all of us from six 469 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 2: to one to two guys, one player for me dined 470 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 2: as a chief shot, not the entire team of the 471 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 2: city itself. 472 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 3: Confirmation biases at work. Here is the Dina in want 473 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 3: to get in on that. 474 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 4: Well, I'll respond to, uh, Maria wasn't innocent in all this. 475 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 4: Now watch all watch the games. I watched all of them. 476 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 4: There was a lot of stuff going on. The din 477 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 4: of guy ridiculous. Well, yeah, that was the problem. Ridiculous 478 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 4: And then you're in it at the end, you're gonna endup. 479 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 4: They were getting talked to going into the intermission, second 480 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,199 Speaker 4: and third period, there were these long conferences. There's a 481 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 4: lot going on. There was a lot going on, and 482 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 4: the greatest high school tournament in the country, which was. 483 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 1: And one thing that needs to be said also is 484 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: it is kind of being characterized more nationally as this 485 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: little team from Morehead with the potato mapscot that toppled, 486 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 1: you know, that toppled the big rich kids in the 487 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: I think that they're the people in Morehead that you know, 488 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 1: a lot of the members of the hockey team are 489 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: exactly you know, out in the food stamp line right now. 490 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 1: I'll just say like that, it's a great program. They've 491 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 1: built a lot, they've gone up there and up there 492 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 1: Morehead and doing well for themselves as well.

But I think some 520 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 2: of your edge, which is you don't always have the 521 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,679 Speaker 2: edge you're showing today, might be some of that resentment 522 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 2: that that unnamed texter brought up. So there might be 523 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 2: it might not all be altruistic here in this case, 524 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 2: it might be a little bit of extra juice because 525 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,120 Speaker 2: of that previous baggage. Is that fair. 526 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: Uh, I don't think it is. I will say that 527 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,360 Speaker 1: I do have baggage, though, Dan, for high school coaches 528 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,679 Speaker 1: who act this way, I do like I often you know, 529 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 1: I'm around pro guys and major college guys all the time, 530 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,640 Speaker 1: and certainly I see plenty of that you know up 531 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,479 Speaker 1: up here as well. But when when when high school 532 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,360 Speaker 1: coaches who are so important to kind of molding young 533 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,439 Speaker 1: people act this way, it does get in my pra 534 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: and I have done it with I remember the why 535 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 1: is that a Hopkins beef a year or two ago? 536 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 1: You know a lot of a lot of those things. 537 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: It's just I don't.

And but uh, 539 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 1: and I just yeah, maybe maybe it's because my guy 540 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:55,159 Speaker 1: who was stolen from Blamee by Minnetonka set set me 541 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: on the right path and set a great example for me. 542 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe that is a deep underneath it, a layer here. 543 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 1: But but yeah, I don't think it's just an act 544 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 1: to grind.

System now About, cuba let's 748 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,359 Speaker 2: see if we can start messing With cuba a little. 749 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:06,280 Speaker 2: Bit he loses, INTEREST i think to a large, degree 750 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,319 Speaker 2: and he may well, see, well one of the what 751 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 2: are the some of the political ramifications. Here the polls 752 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 2: indicate that across the political, spectrum this isn't very popular 753 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 2: among the Hardcore trump. 754 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,480 Speaker 3: Fans he's, okay he's Been they've been. 755 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,880 Speaker 2: Brought, along even though this is contrary to everything he 756 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 2: said he, was you, know campaigning. 757 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,879 Speaker 3: On but he's got to worry about more than. 758 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,759 Speaker 2: That he says he's not worried about oil, prices and 759 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,479 Speaker 2: he's not worried about gas. Prices but he often says 760 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:39,279 Speaker 2: one thing and then his actions indicate something, else just 761 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 2: like the actions here in changing the momentum on The ice. 762 00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 2: STORY i think ultimately had him make the change and 763 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,360 Speaker 2: bring in your Guy holman in place of the clowns 764 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 2: who are in charge, here so that that makes sense to. 765 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,360 Speaker 2: ME i think it may not be, today but it 766 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 2: WOULD i would not be at all stun and that 767 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,759 Speaker 2: within the next few days he just gets has another 768 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:05,640 Speaker 2: press come and said we're. 769 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,919 Speaker 3: Done we've made our. Point they. 770 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 2: Know and by the, way the open endedness probably will 771 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:14,400 Speaker 2: Be israel saying you can keep naming new heads of 772 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:18,600 Speaker 2: the country and we'll keep we'll keep assassinating. Them right 773 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,319 Speaker 2: that that part of it might not go, Away AND 774 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:25,239 Speaker 2: i guess that's the OTHER x factor though Where's israel in? 775 00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 2: This so When trump says that's, enough Will israel go 776 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,760 Speaker 2: along with? That that that's, enough or will they continue 777 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,800 Speaker 2: to act independently even though the two sides have obviously 778 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,319 Speaker 2: been very much in concert from the very first. Day 779 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,080 Speaker 2: so that to me is the most likely scenario for 780 00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,400 Speaker 2: people to, say, well this is this could end up 781 00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:46,880 Speaker 2: being quite a. Morass how do we get out of? 782 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:51,879 Speaker 2: It he just says we're, done we need we needed 783 00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,680 Speaker 2: to do and it. Accomplished there are Other that doesn't 784 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 2: mean there aren't significant ramifications that might be beyond his. 785 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,920 Speaker 2: Control but he can say at some point we're done 786 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,480 Speaker 2: with what we did in terms of our, bombing and 787 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:09,160 Speaker 2: now they've they've learned their, lesson and he'll say we decimated, 788 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 2: him which he has said, before and then if he has, 789 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,080 Speaker 2: to he can go back on it again a little later. 790 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,840 Speaker 2: On BUT i think THAT'S i said that part of 791 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 2: it IS i think that's the likely way this is 792 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:19,799 Speaker 2: going to. 793 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 3: GO i think that's far more. Likely then we're. 794 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,799 Speaker 2: Going to be in a concerted effort that goes on 795 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,960 Speaker 2: month after month after. Month NOW i know that contradicts 796 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 2: some of the other, reporting which is we're considering troops 797 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,920 Speaker 2: on the, ground you, know special forces kind of troops 798 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,960 Speaker 2: for specific. Activity we got to get the uranium out of, 799 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,360 Speaker 2: there things WHICH i don't even think is, realistic to 800 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,000 Speaker 2: tell you the, truth and that stuff is. Contradiction but 801 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,880 Speaker 2: that's him or people in his administration who tend to 802 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,759 Speaker 2: throw everything out, there every possibility out. THERE i don't 803 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 2: think that necessarily means they're going to do. It SO 804 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:54,960 Speaker 2: i think that's the by, far the most likely. Scenario 805 00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,200 Speaker 2: we're just. Done we're going to get a few more 806 00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,759 Speaker 2: shots in this week maybe or maybe the next several, 807 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,359 Speaker 2: days just to be, sure and then we're going to, say, 808 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:06,600 Speaker 2: okay let's let's move on to Whatever cuba or the 809 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,880 Speaker 2: next country or somebody else that we're thinking. OF i 810 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:12,280 Speaker 2: think that's very much the way it's likely to indeed. 811 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,480 Speaker 2: Go guessling is going to join us in thirty, minutes, 812 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:17,000 Speaker 2: and believe it or, not not to Talk. Vikings we 813 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:18,879 Speaker 2: had plenty of vikings talk. Early we'll keep an eye 814 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 2: on the free agency.
