1
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: Back paper that paper.

2
00:00:43,400 --> 00:01:16,839
Speaker 2: Back. That's my favorite party.

3
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 3: So Sam whispers in my ear, not sweet nothing, but

4
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 3: he goes, you know we're back. Yeah, this is this

5
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 3: is basically your segment. I eat lunch during five three four,

6
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:31,559
Speaker 3: got it, That's.

7
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: Why I was late coming back.

8
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 3: I too, I heat it up, having broccoli and a

9
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 3: cauliflower couch. Just burned myself little little tuna salad and

10
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 3: an avocado. So this is where you're gonna have to

11
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 3: make really long questions and then if I can't answer them,

12
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say, what do you think?

13
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: So this is gonna be your time to shine. Can

14
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: you handle it? I think? So let's give it a shot.

15
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: All right. Time now for.

16
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 3: Five questions, Well actually three, but five sounds like more

17
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 3: than four.

18
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 2: Question number one.

19
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 4: Time now for an in depth look at the state

20
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 4: of the state of hockey.

21
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 5: Al Right, So Carill Caprisov had two goals, Quinn Hughes

22
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 5: had a goal, Ryan Hartman at boldy, Jared Spurgeon all

23
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 5: scored for the Wild. Gus Buss had twenty nine saves

24
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 5: the Wild or he improves to six to one and one.

25
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 5: The Wild win against Boston in a blowout. Common How

26
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 5: do you feel about this newly put together Wild team

27
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 5: as it approaches the halfway point of this season.

28
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: And we can build this thing together, stand in strong forever.

29
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: I think nothing's gonna stop U strong. I like it.

30
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 3: I like teams that. It was the same thing I

31
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 3: said when the Timberwolves traded for Rudy Gobert. They traded

32
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 3: all sorts of assets to get Rudy Gobert, and there

33
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 3: was blockbuster trade, polarized to a certain extent.

34
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: Because the two big man.

35
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 3: Thing really hadn't worked for ages. I think the last

36
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 3: time was Samson and Elijah one right, But I remember

37
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 3: saying at the time, I said, I'm actually all for

38
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 3: the trade just because as bad as this franchise has been,

39
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 3: meaning the Timberwolves, I'm willing to try anything at this point. Now,

40
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 3: the Wild haven't necessarily been a bad franchise, but let's

41
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 3: face it, they've been. They've been to hockey what the

42
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: Wolves were to basketball in this town. As far as

43
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 3: the Wolves had a stretch where they made I think

44
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 3: they qualified for the playoffs like six seven years ago,

45
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 3: and they got eliminated in the.

46
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 2: First round each and every year. It was just it

47
00:03:59,440 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 2: was one and.

48
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 3: So the Wild if I'm not mistaken, have done the

49
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 3: same thing. They've made postseason play. There might be a

50
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 3: year or two where they didn't in this in this stretch,

51
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 3: but six seven years, maybe even a few more, where

52
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 3: they've made the first round. But then they get bounced.

53
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 3: And so it's like, if I've said this once, I've

54
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 3: said it a couple of thirteen fourteen times. Get to

55
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 3: the Western Conference Finals.

56
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 2: Get back to me. The Wolves took me up on it.

57
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 3: I found some a team in town finally took me

58
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 3: up on it, and they got to the Western Conference Finals.

59
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: But they just got bludget. As we talked about last segment.

60
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 3: So I like when a team decides, let's go out

61
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 3: and let's let's try.

62
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 2: To make some Let's do something here.

63
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 3: Let's not just sit on like the Twins as we've

64
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 3: talked about, they're just the opposite.

65
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 2: After breaking the zero for eighteen postseason streak.

66
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 3: A couple of years back, at the end of the season,

67
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 3: they decided to downsize the pay instead of saying, well, no, no,

68
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 3: we got something to build on. Now, let's go ahead

69
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,559
Speaker 3: and take that next step. That's what the Wild now

70
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 3: with with with the onerous suitor Perezy contracts, gone money

71
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 3: to spend a team that is playing well. They had

72
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 3: the best month of November, They've been the hottest team

73
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 3: in hockey for a month. Well, so now you got

74
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 3: a general manager and an owner who's all behind where

75
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 3: I say, let's go in. Let's let's let's try to

76
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 3: grab the brass ring.

77
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 2: So I love them.

78
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 3: I do. Now, if it ends up that we don't

79
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 3: get to where we want to be, and he ends

80
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 3: up demand he doesn't re sign here in free agency

81
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 3: and goes and plays with his brothers, I'll rip him.

82
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 3: We'll wait until that I'll conveniently forget that it was

83
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 3: for the trade in the summer.

84
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 2: Of twenty twenty seven.

85
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 3: If I'm still here, I'll say I tried to tell

86
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 3: you guys, you should never have made that deal.

87
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 2: But I'm all for it.

88
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,559
Speaker 3: I like a team that's trying it makes the winter.

89
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 3: Now we have two teams, and I like the wild

90
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 3: Chance has been than the Wolves, just because the Wolves

91
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 3: disappoint me, because I just when I hear out of

92
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 3: the locker room and they're they're they're there, there, there

93
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 3: there they they just don't seem to take it quite

94
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 3: as serious as some of the other teams in the league.

95
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 3: But yeah, we have two teams now that that should

96
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 3: make the Winter Sports of Viewing a spectating season interesting.

97
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,119
Speaker 2: Question number two.

98
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 4: Yes, it's now time to take an in depth look

99
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 4: at the welfare of the Wolves.

100
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 2: The last question you asked was pretty good because we

101
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 2: rather lank gave me a chance to win. So you're

102
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: gonna make this a long question too, that'd be great.

103
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I'll wind it up for you. So the

104
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 5: Timberwolves did win yesterday. They've won two in the row now,

105
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 5: but they won yesterday one seventeen to one oh three

106
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 5: versus the Sacramento Kings. This was the game common you

107
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 5: may remember, was actually not scheduled until few weeks ago,

108
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 5: just because of the NBA care playing and all that.

109
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 5: But Julius Randall put up twenty four points. Jane McDaniels

110
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 5: had twenty one. Rudy Gobert did leave early, I think

111
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 5: it was the third quarter and missed a.

112
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 2: Second which for personal reasons, for personal reasons. We know

113
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 2: what that is. Yeah, and it's none of our business.

114
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 3: I guess I just hope it's nothing really serious, right, Yeah, No,

115
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 3: you leave a game for personal reasons, at least me

116
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 3: you kind of go, WHOA, I hope everything's okay.

117
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 2: I certainly hope everything is okay. Yeah.

118
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 5: So all that being said, kind of the same question

119
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 5: as the Wild, the Wolves are still locked into that

120
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 5: sixth seed in the West. The Spurs didn't do the

121
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 5: menu favors by knocking off the Oklahoma City Thunder by

122
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 5: the way, So common where do you where do you

123
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 5: feel or how do you feel about the Wolves as

124
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 5: we're coming up to the end of the year here

125
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 5: heading into their halfway point the season as well.

126
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 2: I don't feel yeah, you know, it's it's it's wait

127
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 2: and see. I you know. Again, it does seem there are.

128
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 3: Generally teams that kind of weigh around to flip a

129
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 3: switch when it gets to be March and April heading

130
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 3: into postseason play. It's usually teams that have accomplished quite

131
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 3: a bit. Now you can say the Wolves did by

132
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 3: making the.

133
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 2: Western Conference finals the last couple of years.

134
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 3: And himself said, it's hard to do that, to wait

135
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 3: to play defense and wait to become a cohesive unit

136
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,079
Speaker 3: at playoff time and be able to compete. But I

137
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 3: think that's kind of what we're stuck with. I don't

138
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 3: expect this team to change its colors at all. I

139
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 3: think what we're going to see is when they play,

140
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 3: like I have to look.

141
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 2: It up right after they beat.

142
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 3: Sacramento, So I go, let's go with Sacramento Kings basketball team.

143
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 2: Oh they're six and twenty. Yeah, everyone, that's what I

144
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 2: was thinking.

145
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 3: That was looking at the Yeah, so six and twenty,

146
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 3: which is par for the course for the Wolves. They

147
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 3: beat teams that they's and that's fine. I mean, look

148
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 3: better to beat the teams you're supposed to beat than

149
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 3: lose to those teams, because that spell's trouble.

150
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 2: Then you start.

151
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 3: It may not be time to panic, but you do start.

152
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 3: You raise your eyebrows and go, what is this?

153
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: What are you doing? You know you got to beat

154
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 2: these teams. But yeah, so, I mean, I I you know,

155
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 2: I don't even.

156
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 3: Know if the right phrase is cautiously optimistic until I

157
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 3: see a real concerted effort against some of the better

158
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 3: teams in the league and win some of those games too.

159
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 3: Like I think Rosen brought up, we played OKAC I

160
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 3: think once this year, earlier in the year, and I

161
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 3: think it was a relatively score wise. I didn't see

162
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 3: the game, so it was like a four or five

163
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 3: point win for Oklahoma City, so that means, okay, must

164
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 3: have been in the game.

165
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: But you know, it's the record is the record against

166
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 2: the good teams. The record is the record. They're beating

167
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: the bad teams, they're losing to the good teams.

168
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 3: And until that changes consistently, I don't have a I

169
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 3: don't have a Yeah, they'll probably make the playoffs, but

170
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 3: I don't have a lot of hope that they can

171
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 3: make much of a run.

172
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 2: I don't.

173
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 5: The funny thing is when they beat the Warriors the

174
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 5: other day, I said, Okay, there's a good called statement

175
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 5: went on the road against the you know, a team

176
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 5: that's always been good the last decade, and then I

177
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 5: see that they're five hundred this year, so well, yeah

178
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 5: they were.

179
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 2: Allowed green yep. Draymond wasn't there. Yeah, no, Steph, I

180
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 2: mean Steph was.

181
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 3: It was his first game back after I think missing

182
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 3: six seven games, and he was really good. He scored

183
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 3: thirty nine points. But Golden State is I think their.

184
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 2: Time is coming gone?

185
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, there's still I mean, there's still probably

186
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 3: a They're the upper half of the if you want

187
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 3: to split the West into you know, one through eight

188
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 3: and nine through sixteen, they're probably a one of eighteen.

189
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know where they are in the

190
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 3: standing right now or they already Okay, so there they're

191
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 3: one through waight kind of a claw, but they're certainly

192
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 3: not what they used to be. So yeah, I don't

193
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 3: I don't put a lot of stock in that. I mean,

194
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 3: it's better again, better to win those games and lose them.

195
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 3: But until they're they're they're playing with the who just

196
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 3: beat Oklahoma City. Say, women Yama was brilliant apparently, I mean,

197
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 3: he was these he he was the difference in the game.

198
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 3: I got some numbers. Well, we'll talk a little NBA

199
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 3: a little bit later. I got some numbers from that game.

200
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 3: But until they start beating those teams and beating them

201
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 3: on a regular basis, and I just I just kind

202
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 3: of rolled my eyes my shoulder to shake my head.

203
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 2: Question number three.

204
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 5: Just taking a quick look around the NFL, there's some

205
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 5: big stories. Obviously, the Chiefs lose Patrick Mahomes to a

206
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 5: torn a cl The Packers did confirm that Micah Parsons

207
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 5: does have an a cl tear as well, and then.

208
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 2: Just some other stories.

209
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 5: Philip Rivers making his return to the NFL at each

210
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 5: forty four doesn't quite get the win against Seahawks common

211
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 5: What stood out to you the most out of the

212
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 5: NFL news from week fifteen.

213
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 3: Well, the best story of the weekend was for me,

214
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 3: at least the most interesting one was the Phil Rivers

215
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 3: store hasn't played since twenty twenty one.

216
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 2: He's forty four years old.

217
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 3: I tweeted last night that when you saw him on

218
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 3: the sideline, he looked more like a fierce pass rushing

219
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 3: rocket Gibraltar run stopping defensive lineman. That he did a

220
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 3: precise pass throwing quarterback. He looked like he certainly isn't

221
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 3: as he's put on a few pounds. To say the least,

222
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 3: they dumbed the game. I want to say they dumbed

223
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 3: it down for Phil Rivers, because you know he's he's

224
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 3: played at a high level for a number of years.

225
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 2: But they didn't.

226
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 3: It was just it was check downs, it was dump offs,

227
00:12:59,280 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 3: this that the other.

228
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 2: I looked it up.

229
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 3: Let me see if I can find the number again. Oh,

230
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 3: give me a second here, how many people?

231
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 2: Yeah? I find the elevator means like, have can you

232
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 2: find it? It's age two? Page two? Okage two? It

233
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 2: says inneris common land. Page got right here? Can you? Okay?

234
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 3: So I asked AI yesterday, Okay, how many people do

235
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 3: you think have lived on planet Earth?

236
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 2: From the time og and Grog first?

237
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 3: You know, it's just the cave man days. Since since

238
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 3: since there were human beings on Earth? How many do

239
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 3: you think there have been? I looked it up.

240
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 2: It's obviously an approximation.

241
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 3: It's not like they were doing a census every year

242
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 3: since and Grog.

243
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 2: But what do you think that number is? Throw out

244
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 2: a number, sad, let's sell us out.

245
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 5: I don't know, probably like fifty billion. Oh no, way higher? Okay, yeah, more.

246
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 3: Than double that one hundred and seventy. Here's what it says.

247
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 2: Around one hundred and seventeen billion people have ever lived

248
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 2: on Earth. Wow, with about eight.

249
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 3: Billion alive today, meaning roughly ninety three percent of all

250
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 3: humans who have ever existed have died. Okay, A number

251
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 3: based on estimates by the Population Reference Bureau and other

252
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 3: demographers considering human history, population sizes and birth brates. So

253
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 3: that means there have been roughly one hundred nine billion

254
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 3: people that have died. Right, one hundred and nine billion.

255
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 3: O camp from there, not one of them have beaten

256
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 3: Father Time. There is that Phil Rivers looked like he

257
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 3: was about to beat five. He was going to be

258
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 3: the first person to beat Father Time. And then he

259
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 3: threw the intersept at the end of the game and

260
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 3: they lost. So even Phil Rivers couldn't be bither Time.

261
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 3: So that's what I take from this National Football League season.

262
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 2: We'll pause, We'll come back.

263

Speaker 3: text messages coming to our bradch Cavan text line regarding

299
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 3: a comparison between the Wolves and the Wild, which team

300
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 3: the listeners feel as a better chance.

301
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 2: And We're not just talking about qualifying for the playoffs.

302
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 3: We're actually talking about a parade, you know, And I

303
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 3: think we all like parades.

304
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 2: We'd like to have one. This one says, the.

305
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 3: Huge trade is the first thing Bill garn has done

306
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 3: to improve the team since he's been GM. As much

307
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 3: as I rip Garant, he deserves an a for this move.

308
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 3: I stopped watching the games. They were going nowhere, same

309
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 3: mediocre roster year after year. Now I'll start watching again,

310
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 3: and I understand the frustration of wild fans and the

311
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 3: team sort of just spinning their skates and not making

312
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 3: any progress. I bought into the you know, the the

313
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 3: money that was still owed for Suitor and Perezi apparently

314
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 3: was the albatross around the team's neck. They didn't have

315
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 3: the money to spend on other players. Now they have

316
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 3: that money, So that was You can call it a

317
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 3: convenient excuse, and you can call it an excuse as

318
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 3: to why the team wasn't able to accumulate better talent

319
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 3: and spend more money. I tend to agree with it, though.

320
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 3: As a general manager, part of your your job is

321
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 3: to no matter what hand you're dealt, you're supposed to

322
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 3: find a way to draw the right cards, and so

323
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 3: you know, part of your job is we know it's hard.

324
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 3: That's why there are only there's thirty two general manager

325
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 3: or how many hockey teams aren't if it's thirty or

326
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 3: thirty two. Let's say it's thirty two. There's thirty two

327
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 3: general manager jobs. And there's a reason that they're they

328
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 3: it's like a saloon door where you're in and you're out.

329
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 2: You're in and you're out.

330
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 3: You know, general managers, general or coaches don't tend to

331
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 3: stay too.

332
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 2: Long unless they create results.

333
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean, you know coming in taking the

334
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 3: job that this is the situation you're you're coming into.

335
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 3: You've got the Parisian Suitor deals hanging over your head.

336
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 3: It's gonna be hard to cumulate talent.

337
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 2: But you can't just keep using that as an excuse.

338
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 2: You have to find a way.

339
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 3: And I think he did attempt, and I don't have

340
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 3: a list of all the moves that he made from

341
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 3: the time he's been here until the trade for Hughes.

342
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 3: They made it an attempt, but their hands, I guess

343
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 3: you could say it's one hand tied behind their back.

344
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 3: And I'm but I'm with you that this is a

345
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 3: move that I'm all for it. As I said, I

346
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 3: kind of compared it to what what Conley did when

347
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 3: he traded Gobert or traded four go Beart. It's like

348
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 3: it might not work having two big men, but you

349
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 3: know it's it's like this team has done nothing.

350
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 2: Ever.

351
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 3: I mean they they went to one Western Conference Finals

352
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 3: back in No. Three, and so I was all for it,

353
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 3: and it got him to the Western Conference Finals. They

354
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 3: they got beat by by Dallas four games to one,

355
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 3: but they got there. Then just before the season started

356
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 3: last year, they traded bike me out.

357
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 2: I wasn't high on that move.

358
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 3: Either team was still able to get to the Western

359
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 3: Conference Finals, but again they got drilled four games to one.

360
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 3: So but that. But Conley is a guy who wasn't

361
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 3: afraid to make a move. He goes ahead and me

362
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 3: makes a woman. And I like franchises that will at

363
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 3: least make that move. That that goes back to I

364
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 3: brought this up last hour when the Vikings back in

365
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty nine traded for herschel Walker. Looking back on

366
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 3: it now, I don't know how many people were around

367
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 3: then and how many people supported the trade or were

368
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 3: against the trade. I mean, we know how damaging it

369
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 3: was to the franchise, to the Vikings, we know how

370
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 3: much it benefited Dallas, But at the time, I don't

371
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 3: remember a Viking fan.

372
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 2: And this was my Roob days.

373
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 3: I wasn't in the radio business or they hadn't even

374
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 3: gone to broadcast school yet. This was eighty nine, still

375
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 3: in my hate Ashbury days, to be honest at the

376
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 3: very tail end. But at this point me and my

377
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 3: buddies were just fans, and all we're saying is we

378
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 3: love it. You know, the Vikings were missing a running back.

379
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 3: Walker was considered a quality running back, and we all

380
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 3: thought that was the move that would say that would

381
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 3: push him over the top. Turned out to be it wasn't,

382
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 3: And so we all know what's happened. What happened immediately

383
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 3: following it for the next few years lost draft picks,

384
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 3: and that those draft picks turn into some pretty quality

385
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 3: players for Dallas and that helped them win was it

386
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 3: two or three Super Bowls under under Jimmy Johnson. But

387
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 3: I like teams that go ahead and decide they're going

388
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 3: to give it a shot music and so that's what

389
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 3: I I'm all for, I you know, And again whether

390
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 3: it works or not, I don't know, but it's most

391
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 3: of the people I trust, as I say in reading

392
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 3: the reviews of the trade, not even locally but nationally,

393
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 3: think it was a really good move for.

394
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 2: For the Wild. And you hear this all the time.

395
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 2: This is a cliche, and.

396
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 3: Cliches are cliches for a reason because generally they're true.

397
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 3: You don't see trades that benefit Bowl teams very often. Well,

398
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 3: with Vancouver where they were, and with with the Hughes

399
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 3: kid basically saying he and his his representation, we're having

400
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 3: conversation with Vancouver basically saying worse it's gonna In other words,

401
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 3: he was telling them he opened up moving alongs. I

402
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 3: don't think I'm gonna resign because there's no future. These

403
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 3: guys all want to win, and so uh. I think

404
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 3: the Van Cooper got.

405
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 2: A nice hall for it.

406
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 3: They got they got three quality players, all first round

407
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 3: draft picks. They have an unprotected first round draft pick

408
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 3: coming up next year in the Wild get maybe uh,

409
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 3: if not the best defenseman in hockey top three for.

410
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 2: Sure, we'll break, We'll come back.

411
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 3: More controversial Vikings news on the side of the Break

412
00:23:29,359 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 3: Common Man program on the fan fan a couple of

413

00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 3: D or do you just have this one?

425
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 5: I mean, well, I do have jobs ABC and D.

426
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 5: However I do have a full time job. I was

427
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 5: off today, so I was able to sort of pinch

428
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 5: it and come and fill it all. But it does

429
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 5: kind of disrupt my my day off plans I have

430
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 5: for today.

431
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 2: But that's okay. I'm happy to be. Let me ask

432
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 2: you a question. What were your day off when you know? Yeah,

433
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 2: I was gonna go get a haircut. I just had

434
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 2: need one. Yeah hair cut. Your carot looks really short?

435
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 5: Well, thank you, Well, I haven't I got the going on,

436
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 5: so just on the side, so I got to hide

437
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 5: the gray that's starting to come in.

438
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 2: Oh, you're not getting gray hair yet. Let me guess.

439
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 2: I'm gonna guess how old you are. You're twenty eight?

440
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 5: Huh No, you gotta keep going thirty one. It's like

441
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 5: the clock game higher. I'm thirty seven, thirty seven. Yeah,

442
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 5: I'm an old timer compared to my my coworkers.

443
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 2: Wow, what it worre'st time gone? I know? Yeah, you're

444
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 2: telling me thirty seven already. Yeah, So I was looking up.

445
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 5: It's funny you say that because I was thinking back,

446
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 5: you know, all these acl tairs that that have been

447
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 5: you know in the headlines.

448
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: Ya.

449
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 5: I was thinking, like, you know, when was APS? Because

450
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 5: I was thinking to myself, that's got to be six, seven, eight, nine,

451
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 5: ten years ago. Nope, it was fourteen years ago, twenty eleven.

452
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 5: So I was thinking to myself, where did that time go?

453
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 3: We're and like, are you happy with where you are? Right,

454
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 3: where you've been, where you're going, where you're at? I mean,

455
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 3: if you're not, you know, if you are, if you're

456
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 3: excited or maybe you know, do you consider yourself a

457
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 3: rousing success, abject.

458
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 2: Failure, or somewhere in between? See?

459
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 3: I consider myself just just above abject failure.

460
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think much but a little bit.

461
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 5: So my first stint with I heard I got hired

462
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 5: here in January twenty twenty. Uh so you can guess

463
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 5: how that how that worked out? Yeah, so I was

464
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 5: here for a few weeks, so that kind of threw

465
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 5: a wrench in the plan. So I still feel like

466
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 5: a success compared to you know, where I was five

467
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 5: years ago, definitely, but I think the the that time

468

00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 2: how do I want to use it.

538
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 3: You didn't tell her that you're looking for a work

539
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 3: life balance, did you, because you wouldn't have gotten the job.

540
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 5: I understand, So I know. I interviewed the little be.

541
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 5: Things were going really well. She ended up offering I

542
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 5: interviewed with another person, so we had kind of like

543
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 5: a group interview deal. But obviously went well enough she

544
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 5: offered me the position. And it was sort of like

545
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 5: a night and day difference because she was so happy

546
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 5: and she was so energetically you interviewed. When I came

547
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 5: in to do my new higher stuff, it was, oh,

548
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 5: this is a real big callback. This was the day

549
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 5: after the Vikings lost to the forty nine ers. It

550
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 5: was the twenty twenty playoffs. They lost in San Francisco,

551
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 5: So everybody's mood was just down right. So I came in.

552
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 5: I was like, hey, a Little Bee and then she

553
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 5: was just like, yeah, come on, let's go.

554
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 2: She had a mad mood.

555
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, everybody was. I mean everybody was sour on

556
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 5: the Vikings loss.

557
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 3: I don't remember being upset at all, but that's just me.

558
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 3: I don't take it serious enough.

559
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,719
Speaker 2: I guess there is that. So anyway, I come in.

560
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 5: And then actually my first memory on that day was

561
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 5: tied to the Common Man program because in our offices overhead,

562
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 5: they rotate between all the different iHeart stations, and when

563
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 5: I was doing my paperwork stuff on the computer, the

564
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 5: show was playing. It was the end of the show,

565
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 5: and it was you and Rosie Antenna. You were, you know,

566
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:11,479
Speaker 5: just sort of recapping the loss, and then the outro

567
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 5: music starts to play and all that, and then the

568
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 5: next thing I know, I hear Rosie's voice in Little

569
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 5: Bee's office. So within like thirty seconds, he made it

570
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 5: across the entire floor from the studio over to a

571
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 5: Little Bee's office.

572
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 2: That's when he was young.

573
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 3: In Spray this Fast movie, he kind of walks out

574
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 3: a limp. If you notice now he's got that. I

575
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 3: think he's got a titanium hip. He had a hip replacement. Okay,

576
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,479
Speaker 3: so a little he's got a little hitch in his gideo. Now.

577
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I saw him, what was it two weeks ago?

578
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 5: He looked really good. Though he's still he still got it.

579
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 2: Well, here's what I'll tell you.

580
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 3: If you look closely, he's stronger now at seventy five

581
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 3: than he was at forty five.

582
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 2: I believe that he's the Phil Rivers of radio. He's no, yes,

583
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 2: he's I like that.

584
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, if anybody can beat Father Time, it

585
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 3: would be uh tennabe. I have to correct myself on him.

586
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 2: I said, there was how many billion people have been

587
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 2: on planet Earth? Did I say?

588
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 3: One hundred and eighteen billion? Says at the beginning of time?

589
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 3: Since the game time, Yes, there's eight billion.

590
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 2: On planet Earth now one hundred and seventeen billion.

591
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 3: Because like one hundred and nine billion, one hundred nine

592
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 3: billion people have come and gone. I said, nobody's beaten

593
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 3: Father Time. But somebody, of course had to text me

594
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 3: and correct me because I was giving some false information.

595
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 2: It says.

596
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 3: Enoch beat Father Time. Have you ever heard of Enoch?

597
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 3: I had not heard of him either, But I'll tell

00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,360

Speaker 3: Do you know who Methusela is?

608
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 2: The name sounds familiar. I think Methusela is the cat

Speaker 3: walked with God and he us no more for God

623
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 3: took him, which is interpreted as Enoch entering heaven alive

624
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 3: in some Jewish and Christians traditions.

625
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 2: So he beat father time.

626
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 3: He did not die, he made it. And then he

627
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 3: also says that Elijah was taken up to heaven as well.

628
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 3: So Elijah beat Father time. I'm not sure if that did.

629
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 3: You look up Methusla by the way, I am on

630
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 3: it right now.

631
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 2: Ysell for me.

632
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 3: Oh it'll it'll pop up. I got it myth like methamphetamine,

633
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 3: meth meththus us methus uh Lah.

634
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 5: I got it right here, I forget. So yeah, Google

635
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,439
Speaker 5: search is going a little slow here. Let's think a look.

636
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 2: Okay. So Methusela.

637
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 5: Uh was a biblical patriarch in a figure in Judaism, Christianity,

638
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 5: and is Islam. He has claimed to have lived the

639
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 5: longest life, dying yet nine hundred and sixty nine years.

640
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 2: So that he died, he didn't live, he died. Well,

641
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 2: we weren't talking about Methuselam. How long did he live?

642
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 2: Nine hundred and sixty nine years of age.

643
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 3: And you know what, he looked better at nine hundred

644
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 3: and sixty nine years of age and at four hundred

645
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 3: and fifty six years of age.

646
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 2: I believe that growth.

647
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 5: But yeah, then it says, you know, Methusel is the

648
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 5: son of Enoch, and then I clicked on Enoch. Enoch

649
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,760
Speaker 5: is a biblical figure in patriarch prior to know his flood.

650
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 2: What I said, yep, so yeah, interesting the more you know.

651
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 3: Elijah was a provident miracle worker who lived in the

652
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 3: Northern Kingdom of Israel.

653
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 2: Apparently he he went straight to have him too. He

654
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:44,919
Speaker 2: didn't die.

655
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 3: So there's two people at that. So there are two

656
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,879
Speaker 3: people that have beaten father time. Otherwise nobody else has

657
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 3: ever beaten Father Times are good for them. Mark Craig

658
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 3: is a football writer for The Fisher Factor in the

659
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 3: West Side.

660
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 2: We referred to him often after every the.

661
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 3: Monday, after every game whatever, regardless of what day they play,

662
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 3: Monday night, Sunday night, Tuesday night, whatever the case may be.

663
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 2: He writes five extra points.

664
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:16,399
Speaker 3: And one of them and I think is it's it's

665
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 3: true and it's important. Number two is extra point is

666
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 3: more playing less thinking.

667
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 2: For McCarthy, here's here's what Mark writes says.

668
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 3: The learning process is flowing both ways between coach slash

669
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 3: QB whisperer Kevin O'Connell and McCarthy, the QB wildly unconventional

670
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 3: thrower of the football. McCarthy is good at playing football,

671
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 3: he's not good at thinking football. O'Connell seems to be adjusting,

672
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 3: or at least dialing back from control free to control

673
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 3: enthusiast on preaching the perfect fundamentals. And then he goes

674
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 3: on to talk about what McCarthy did in the game,

675
00:36:54,120 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 3: and I think he's spot on. I think we've talked

676
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 3: about this. It takes a while to get to a

677
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 3: conclusion oftentimes when you're not on the inside, when you're

678
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 3: not inside the walls of TCO Performance Center, the aka

679
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 3: the new Winter Park, so oftentimes it's hard to really know.

680
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 3: And even if you're inside the walls, you know, owners,

681
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 3: front office, coaching staff, even players oftentimes keep things close

682
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 3: to the best right.

683
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 2: Keep it within the family. And what we have been

684
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:37,879
Speaker 2: discussing is.

685
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,720
Speaker 3: When the Vikings after making the run to the playoffs

686
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 3: last year and Sam Darnold, I wouldn't even say he

687
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 3: resurrected his career because he really didn't have a career

688
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,240
Speaker 3: until last year. He had played terribly with the Jets,

689
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,919
Speaker 3: played terribly, whether it was a Carolina with his next stop,

690
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 3: I believe I don't recall San Francisco, San Francisco, and

691
00:37:58,200 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 3: then you know, as you've hurt me.

692
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm meeting you.

693
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 3: Meeting listeners have probably heard me read the quotes from

694
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:08,760
Speaker 3: Darnold where he basically gave all the credit to brock Purty.

695
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 3: He said, watching brock Purty for an entire season, from

696
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 3: Oda's mini camps, training camp through the full season right

697
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 3: through to the big game. Now, they lost the big

698
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 3: game that year, I think, but right through then, he said,

699
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 3: that's where he learned most of his That's where he

700
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 3: figured out how to play football by watching brock Purty.

701
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 3: I think the Vikings thought McCarthy was a little further

702
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 3: along than he was. And I'm still puzzled as why

703
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 3: they didn't see the mechanics thing earlier. But maybe they

704
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 3: thought that would be a quick fix, because as you know,

705
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 3: they were still working on mechanics here in year number two,

706
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 3: and I know last year was injured, but I think

707
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 3: they knew about the mechanics. Anyways, it seems that now

708
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 3: we may be over a hump here, there's still mechanics

709
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 3: to work on. We talked about that earlier too, where

710
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 3: they showed highlights of one pass he has perfect mechanics.

711
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 3: The next time he looks like mel Stottleminer. Do you

712
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 3: know the name mel Stottleman.

713
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 2: No, I didn't think you did. It's really old. Squad.

714
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 3: Probably should upgrade that. He looked more like Francisco Larriano. Okay,

715
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 3: I could even update it further and say, who's the

716
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 3: guy Terrek?

717
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 2: Is it Koobel? Who's the guy that pitches for no

718
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 2: Schooble school Scooble? He looks like Schooble with the big

719
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 2: with the big light kick at the very end.

720
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 3: But maybe he's gotten over the hump and now he's

721
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 3: just playing football, right that don't overload the circuitry with

722
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 3: you know, not only a really complicated playbook, but also

723
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:39,760
Speaker 3: with all the with all the the mechanical stuffs. Maybe

724
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 3: you know, making it a little easier on him is

725
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 3: allowed him to just play football, or maybe starting to

726
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 3: see some of the the fruits.

727
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 2: Of that, well, break will come up. We're breaking the minuters.

728
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 3: Really the head coach at the Sooner We Big Game
