How would 24 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: you evaluate Nico Medved's first season as head coach. 25 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 2: Oh, I thought it was Ben Johnson. 26 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 4: Well, the results were the safe actually a little bit better, 27 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 4: were they? 28 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: It's pretty bad the last couple of years of Ben Johnson. 29 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 1: Go back and look at the records. 30 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if it's that much 31 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 2: of a difference. I don't think that's a. 32 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 4: Small sample size, But I don't think there's that much 33 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 4: of a difference. 34 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I thought they'd beat Rutgers. 35 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 2: I hope they would. Yeah, I mean, I don't know 36 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 2: what else to say other than it is the first year. 37 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: Well, I guess they were nine to eleven in the 38 00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: Big ten last year. 39 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 2: What were they this year? 40 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: Seven to thirteen? No, No, no, No, they were seven and 41 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: thirteen last year. They're nine to eleven year before that. 42 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 2: Okay, so basically the same records, Okay, I not I. 43 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: Two and seventeen before that, four and sixteen before that. 44 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 4: Sounds like he Ben was making some strides then, and 45 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,959 Speaker 4: then we decided we didn't need it more. No, I'm 46 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 4: not even trying to. I'm just playing Devil's advocate. Just 47 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 4: you know, how much of a difference has there really been? 48 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 4: It is Nico's first year. It's a very small sample size. 49 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 4: I like his style of basketball. I kind of like that, 50 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 4: you know, kind of keeping a fast paced, moving the ball, 51 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 4: don't have to rely on one guy to score all 52 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 4: the time possible. But yeah, so I don't know. Again, 53 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 4: it's let's see what happens during now. They still might 54 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 4: get an invite to one of those I mean, can 55 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 4: they get to the NI? I would do they take 56 00:02:54,760 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 4: teams losing records even in the NIT. I'm sure I'll 57 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 4: do the n IT though, Yes, so maybe we get 58 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 4: an in it bit. 59 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: I saw in the startsmend the day that they might 60 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: get invited to some tournament I've never heard of. 61 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 2: Oh is that that third tournament. 62 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: Some tournament in Vegas that two Big ten teams will 63 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: get invited to. 64 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 2: I don't know. 65 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 4: We'll see what happens in the future, but there's really 66 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 4: not much after one year. 67 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 2: I guess it's the old right first year. 68 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 4: Establish you know, get your footing established that you know, 69 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 4: it's your program, it's your team, style of basketball we play, 70 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 4: and then see all the recruiting trail goals and how NIL. 71 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 2: Goes and all of that. But yeah, so I was 72 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 2: hoping for better, but first year. What are you gonna do? 73 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: Question number two? 74 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 2: It's time now to consider the. 75 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: Course common The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass has begun. 76 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: I call it the play the players. Who is your 77 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: prediction to win the players this weekend? 78 00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 4: Here's what I'll tell you. Take this to the bank 79 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 4: of Brovide. I'm and Joe's go to it. I'll take 80 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 4: Colin Moorcola. I would take him right now, guaranteed. I 81 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 4: don't know any of the top guys. You know, I 82 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 4: do this especially for majors, but you know this is 83 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 4: always the fifth major. You take golfers I believe that 84 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 4: have played well there, they like the. 85 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 2: Course, it. 86 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 4: Fits their eye, players that have won there, in the players, 87 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 4: and then just guys that are playing really well at 88 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 4: the time, like I would mean, it's hard to go 89 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 4: back to back. 90 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 2: That's the problem. 91 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 4: One of our sales guys been digital sales guy, I 92 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 4: think he is. He picked Morikawa the week after Morikawa won, right, 93 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 4: he made like a twenty dollars bet somewhere with some 94 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 4: good odds, and yeah, but it's just so hard to 95 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 4: repeat in the PGA Tour, and so I mean, but 96 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 4: ox Shay has played as good as anybody has. All 97 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 4: your li is anybody, and so i'd probably take Akshay 98 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 4: to repeat. Somebody's got to repeat eventually again. But then 99 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 4: there's the other, you know, I don't know how. 100 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: Actually he's off to uh an okay start, he's a one. 101 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: He shot a one under seventy one today, so he's 102 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: currently tied for thirteenth. Okay, your leader is Maverick McNeely. 103 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: It's another good places five under through seventeen, one stroke 104 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: back as Russell Henley. He's four under through sixteen, and 105 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: then he had a bunch of three under. Tony fen 106 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: now lud Big Oberg. They're both in the clubhouse with 107 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: sixty nine's Justin Thomas, Tommy Flewood three hundred through seventeen, 108 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: Victor Hovlin and Met Fitzpatrick three undred through sixteen. 109 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 4: Oberg has been playing very well in another nice tournament 110 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 4: last week and I think even the week before. So 111 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 4: there's a guy I might lean on a little bit, 112 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 4: lean on guys that are golf. 113 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 2: As you know, Tennaby, you play enough golf. 114 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 4: You've had an experience as a nothing like that of 115 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 4: a PGA Tour player. 116 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 2: You know that if you have a you have a 117 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 2: good round. 118 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 4: A lot of times it leads to two or three 119 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 4: in a row and then you you know, then you 120 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 4: then you go back to the regular tennabe and all 121 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 4: of a sudden you come back and show playing well again, 122 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 4: and so I go for you know, it's it's it's 123 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 4: kind of cyclical that way, So that's what I would do. 124 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: Also, Scottie Scheffler one over through seventeen, he's tied for 125 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: forty third and then Rory McElroy has yet to tee 126 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: off today. 127 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 2: Very good. 128 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: He had some back issues as well earlier in the week. 129 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 2: Yes he did. He pulled out of the last time. 130 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 3: Question number three, It's time now for all. 131 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: A full choice common which headline at ESPN dot com 132 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: piques your interest the most?

Oh? 139 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: Was that a month or two ago? Okay, yeah, yeah, 140 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: and this one of the players lost. I think it's 141 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: his mom, a brother, and his grandfather. They all died 142 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: in that, Okay. And then they're in the playoffs last 143 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: night and he scored the game winning goal in double overtime. No, 144 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: it's a pretty emotional. Yeah, very cool moment. 145 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, very good. 146 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 3: Question number three, And now it's time to go paint. So. 147 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,119 Speaker 1: Jim Suhan posted a column at startsubain dot com talking 148 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: about a solution for all the team's tanking esteem in 149 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: the NBA, and he is suggesting that instead of giving 150 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: the teams at the worst records the most ping pong 151 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: balls that eleven through fifteen, that the teams that do 152 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: the best between eleven and fifteen should get the most 153 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: ping pong bottle, so that so that ping pong ball, 154 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: so at number eleven should earn more ping pong balls 155 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: than number fifteen. Make incentivize them to winning even down 156 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: the stretch. He says, let's make earning the eleven seed 157 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: in each conference a goal, structure the lottery so that 158 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: the eleven seed has the best chance at landing the 159 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: first pick, and continue in descending order through the fifteenth 160 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: place team in the conference. They will no longer be 161 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: any incentive for being the worst team in the league. 162 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: Down the stretch, you'd have lesser teams playing their best players. 163 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: You'd eliminate tanking. Then even games between bad teams would 164 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 1: hold meeting. It's possible that a team holding the ten 165 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,599 Speaker 1: seed would tank to fall into the eleven seed, but 166 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: I doubt that many NBA organizations would throw away a 167 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: chance at the playoffs for a slightly increased chance at 168 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: the first pick. Common do you agree with su Han's 169 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: tanking solution. 170 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 4: I'd have to have somebody you know, sift through it 171 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 4: or or or parse it with a with a fine 172 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 4: tooth comb, because you know, you know, it's sounds great 173 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 4: on the surface. 174 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 2: You know, the top ten in each conference getting. 175 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 4: In the playoffs, it means eleven through fifteen they're not, 176 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 4: so they're trying to get to number fifteen. 177 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 2: Now, if you say no, no, no, no. 178 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 4: You would need to be eleven to get the more 179 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 4: ping pong balls, and all of a sudden you go way. 180 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 2: You know, it's sad that you have to that you 181 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 2: have to, you know, dangle. 182 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 4: A carrot in front of them in order to get 183 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 4: them to actually play hard, like you're supposed to as 184 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 4: a professional athlete. But I guess I'd have to hear 185 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 4: a little bit more to you know, to see if 186 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 4: there are some safeguards for that best house pretty good. 187 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 4: I still think there might be a tenth team. I 188 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 4: think there's teams in ninth and tenth of tank. 189 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, because because there's teams there right now that have 190 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: no chance correct, not only advancing, they're not getting out 191 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: of the first round the playoffs even if they get 192 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: to the first round. Yeah, and they're Portland's trail Blazers 193 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 1: aren't going to do anything no, so you would be 194 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: incentivizing them. So now there wouldn't be as much tanking correct, 195 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: which sounds great. So from that standpoint, I don't mind it, 196 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: but there'd still be a little bit taking you also risk. 197 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: You know, there's there's a year every once in a while. 198 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: I think San Antonio kind of did this right where 199 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: David Robinson was like hurt for the year and then 200 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: the Spurs go on and get Tim Duncan. Okay, I 201 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: do think there's a scenario where you're gonna have really 202 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: good teams where their star player gets hurt for an 203 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: extended period of times out and they're kind of in 204 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: that nine ten eleven range. You're like, oh, let's let's 205 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: take it, and now we get the next superstar, and 206 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: now we have a couple superstars, we got a dynasty 207 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: moving forward. I guess that it's gonna happen as opposed 208 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: to those teams typically don't drop to fourteenth or fifteenth, 209 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: but those teams are a bad injury could drop the 210 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: nine ten eleven. 211 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 2: I could see that scenario play out. You're absolutely right. 212 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 4: So hey, it's the best solution I've heard so far, though, 213 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 4: you know, but I don't know if there is a 214 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 4: perfect solution either. 215 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 3: So and that's it for today's edition of five questions, 216 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 3: Well actually three questions, but five sounds like more than four. 217 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 4: Presented by Willow River Company.

Cincinnati pursued the 240 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: former pro bowler aggressively after Minnesota released him, so the 241 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: two interior defensive lineman we got rid of.

Well, 259 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 4: I think he can win a bunch of games sports. 260 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 4: There's maybe ten of those guys, twelve and after that, 261 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 4: even then the bottom fifteen starters, you're like second half 262 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 4: of the you know, the second half of the starting 263 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 4: quarterbacks in the league. 264 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 2: I don't know, but yeah, well so there they go. 265 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 2: We had them, we don't They're still making good money 266 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 2: somewhere else in the league. 267 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 4: I wanted to ask you about, did I see the 268 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 4: Minnesota Goal to Go for men's hockey team was eliminated 269 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 4: from Uh. 270 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, they did not have a good season. I think 271 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: one of the worst seasons and their program's history, it's 272 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: been like fifty some years since they've been that bad 273 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 1: a year. 274 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 2: Are they just now done for the season too, It's it's. 275 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're done now. Yeah, they got eliminated because because 276 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: they're gonna make the NCAA tournament anymore. So they're playing 277 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: in the Big Ten Tournament. They played Penn State lost 278 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: six to two. But their record is so bad that 279 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: they weren't. They had to win the Big Ten tournament 280 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: to get in and they last first game. 281 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 4: What was there a time or am I just imagining this? 282 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 4: This is a perception. We talked about perceptions and reality 283 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 4: don't always aligned with each other. There was a time 284 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 4: the Golden Goal for hockey program was as good as. 285 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 2: Any in the nation. 286 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: I mean, last year they won the Big Ten, they 287 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: won the Big Ten. Last they had come they'd come 288 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: along under Motsco. I know they lost a bunch of 289 00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: players off of the last year's team, but you're still 290 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: the University of Minnesota, so they're still it's probably on 291 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: nice there's still a standard that set, so I think 292 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: a very I think everyone expected them to not have 293 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: the same team they did, but maybe a bit further 294 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: drop than people had expected. 295 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 2: They won. How many Natties they won? You know, off overall? Yeah? Overall? 296 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: I mean they won two. They won two about twenty 297 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: twenty five years ago. 298 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 2: Was that. 299 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: It was Lucia. But some of those guys are Wug's players. 300 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 2: Okay, that's what it was. 301 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: So they won back to back and then they've obviously 302 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: won some under Herb Brooks in the seventies. 303 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 3: Right. 304 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: I couldn't give you an exact number. I probably should know. 305 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 2: Hmm. 306 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 4: Oh well, state of Minnesota. State of hockey is what 307 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 4: we'd like to call it. So I just found that 308 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 4: I was I guess I was surprised by that. But 309 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 4: like you said, they won last year. So what's next 310 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 4: up for. 311 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: The wild I think at the Philadelphia Flyers tonight, seven 312 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: o'clock right here at at Greang Casine Arena on the fan. 313 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 4: You're going to think I'm making this up, but I 314 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 4: watched them Flyers hockey last night. 315 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 2: They were playing the Capital. 316 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: You're watching more hockey than I am. 317 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, Well, Deuce is he's nuts. 318 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: The Gophers have won five, by the way, Okay, so 319 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: on seventy four, seventy six, seventy nine. 320 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 4: Deuce loves hockey. He's it's it's he never played, but 321 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 4: he loves it. He's done a lot of play by 322 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 4: play on game time Minnesota dot com, so he's done 323 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 4: a lot of high school play by play. We were 324 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 4: watching him a little bit last night. 325 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: Could you give me a scouting repart on the Philadelphia Flyers? 326 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 2: I really can't. 327 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 4: I was telling Deuce, you know, I'm much better at 328 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 4: the history of Philator. I told him they used to 329 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 4: call him the Broad Street Bullies back in the mid 330 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 4: seventies when they I think they won championships in the 331 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 4: mid seventies. And that's one because I think I think 332 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 4: the old Spectrum. I don't know where they play now, 333 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 4: but it's still the Spectrum is still the same arena. 334 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 4: I'm sure they have a new one by now. I 335 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 4: don't know if it's just really if it's located in 336 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 4: the same spot, but I think it was on Broad Street. 337 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 2: That's what they called them, the broad Street Bullies. And 338 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:06,360 Speaker 2: they were a really. 339 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 4: Tough, rough and tumble kind of a club. And so 340 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 4: but that's all I can tell you about. 341 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 2: I know they were up to. 342 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 4: One when I finally dozed off on the couch. But 343 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 4: what can you tell me about Philadelphia? Do they pose 344 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 4: any particular problems than any good. 345 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 1: Well, it depends on how you say what good is, right, Like, 346 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: if you look at the Eastern Conference standings, they are 347 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: seven points out of a playoff spot, so that that 348 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: isn't good. But they're seventy one points if they were 349 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 1: in the West, would put you in a playoff spot. 350 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 1: So the playoffs are all out of whack this year. 351 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: Where a team like the Anaheim Ducks, which would bear, 352 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 1: which won't even be in the playoffs right now if 353 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: they're in the Eastern Conference, they have the best record 354 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: in the Pacific Division, and you know we'll be the 355 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: will be a top seed taken on a wildcard team. 356 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 1: So and then we've already talked about how whacky it 357 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,439 Speaker 1: is that the Minnesota Wild have to play the Dallas Stars, 358 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: while the team below the Wild, the Utah Mammoth. We'll 359 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:03,719 Speaker 1: get the you know as of right now, and get 360 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: the Anaheim Ducks in the first round, which is, like 361 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 1: I said, an opponent that won't even make the playoffs 362 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,719 Speaker 1: in the East. So it's just everything's it's a weird year, 363 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: especially out East. A lot of these teams that were 364 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: accustomed to being in the playoffs. Every singer right. The 365 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: Florida Panthers aren't going to make the playoffs. The Toronto 366 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 1: Maple Leafs have the second worst record in the East, 367 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 1: Rangers have the worst record in the East. Alex Ovechkin 368 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: and the Capitals aren't going to make the playoffs. Yet 369 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: you have teams like the Buffalo Sabers all of a 370 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: sudden leading their division. The Canadians have a nice young core. 371 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 1: They've they've jumped up into playoff spots. Detroit's made a move. 372 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of change, a lot of parody, 373 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: but kind of changes on both sides too. Right, the 374 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: Anaheim has been awful for quite some time. They're progressing. 375 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: I still think the San Jose Sharks have a chance 376 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 1: to make the playoffs out of the West behind Macklin Celebrini. 377 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 1: So just some of the the old guard is, you know, 378 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: other than the colleg Ot Avalanche in the Dallas Stars, 379 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: the old guards maybe kind of moving on a little 380 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: bit and the new guards starting to come in. 381 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 4: Someone a texted two seasons ago, the Gophers lost in 382 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 4: heartbreaking fashion in the Natty Championship game. 383 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 2: Did they I don't. I don't call that, but maybe 384 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 2: they did. You've mentioned a. 385 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 4: Football note two others you talking about clicking on the headlines. 386 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 4: So Crosby has comment Announce says, I'm all in the radiation. 387 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 4: I mean he's got to say that, right, What else 388 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 4: is he going to say? I don't know if the 389 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 4: Raiders are I mean he I don't think the Raiders. 390 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 2: Correct me if I'm wrong. 391 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 4: He wanted out right, I thought so, yes, that's what 392 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 4: I that he wanted out. 393 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 2: So they were trying to act we ask, okay, we'll 394 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 2: let you out. 395 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 4: Well, now that he's not out, they're probably better off 396 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 4: that he's now Again, those first those two first round 397 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 4: picks would be pretty good, having won this year and 398 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 4: one next year. But if he can play like he's 399 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 4: capable of and they have the new quarterbacks, everybody guesses 400 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 4: they're going to draft to get from Indiana, and I 401 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 4: think they've been busy. 402 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 2: I think they may. 403 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 4: I don't know if they've had other I thought they 404 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 4: had another free agent acquisition that was high thought of, 405 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 4: maybe at the. 406 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 1: Wrong of course that's the thing, so. 407 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 4: I know they're probably better off with him. You know, 408 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,719 Speaker 4: you talk about kicking the can down the road. The 409 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 4: lines did it with Golf. 410 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 2: Did you see that move? 411 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 4: They redid his contract and they saved like twenty or 412 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 4: thirty million dollars in salary cap. But I like Golf, 413 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 4: you know, as a quarterback, I do. 414 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 1: I like Tom better when you're the great offensive line 415 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 1: in front of well that's I did too. 416 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 4: And I and I do like him when he's making 417 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 4: less money though, you know, because they need they need. 418 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 2: They're like any other team. That's funny you read these 419 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 2: if you go on. 420 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 4: The Athletic and you read about specific stories about each 421 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 4: team that you know the list needs right, every single 422 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 4: one for every team I met who there's offensive line, 423 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 4: defensive line, linebacker, defensive back, wide receiver. 424 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 2: Running back. 425 00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 4: It's every single position is listed because those teams at 426 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 4: least need depth, right, So that's why you could list 427 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 4: all those positions. But you know most teams they need 428 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 4: help at every position, so at least for the for 429 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 4: the kiddy's sake, it freeze up money, just like the 430 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 4: Vikings did with. 431 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: They they they had uh did it with a bunch 432 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: of players. 433 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, they did it with a number. One would be Jefferson, 434 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 2: you know. 435 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 1: He jeffersonis Hawkinson. 436 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,959 Speaker 4: Yeah, those three make it all big money and they 437 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 4: were able to mean and that's why the bikers were 438 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 4: able to get down to where they were. Did do 439 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 4: you say that is the report? Did you say earlier? 440 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 4: Murray is in Minnesota As far as we know right now. 441 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: He was scheduled. I can't say right now, but he 442 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: was scheduled to be meeting with the Vikings today here. 443 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 4: So we'll keep you know, like when they when they 444 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 4: select a new pope, you wait for the smoke to 445 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 4: come out of the chimney. 446 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 2: We'll see if that happens over at h the. 447 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 4: New Winner Park today a Tco Performance Center, to see 448 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,400 Speaker 4: if Yeah. 449 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: I have to imagine that conversation is basically like, what 450 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: what do you see the future for me? If I'm 451 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray? Right? Because there's no contract discussion. There's no like, 452 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: there's no negotiation of the contract. There's just going to 453 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: be the bare minimum. That's the easy part. So Kyler 454 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: just has to be assured. It's the discussion we have 455 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: the rosen yesterday of is it a quarterback competition with 456 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy and is Kyler Murray the guy. I think 457 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: if they get that settled, that'll be very easy and 458 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 1: could happen, could happen quickly. 459 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 2: Well, And here's what I don't know. 460 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,360 Speaker 4: I tend to agree with you that I would think, 461 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 4: at least on service, without knowing Kyler Murray in anyway 462 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 4: other than what he does on the football field, that 463 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 4: he you know, he just want to come here and 464 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 4: compete with some young sterry one not Look, I got 465 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 4: other options I want to start, or because of his 466 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 4: pension for wanting to play video games, maybe he just 467 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,919 Speaker 4: wants to cash a check. Say oh, I'll show up, 468 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,919 Speaker 4: I'll compete with him. In fact, and if he doesn't 469 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 4: win the starting job, he really doesn't even care. 470 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 2: I don't know. 471 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 4: I would hope he's got a competitive nature to him 472 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 4: and wants to be the starting quarterback. And if he 473 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 4: indeed does, I think I think you're right. I think 474 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 4: he's not. 475 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 2: If they look at him and say it's gonna be 476 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 2: even Stephen, you and McCarthy, you're. 477 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 4: Gonna come in again, He's not coming here for equal 478 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 4: Cod's That's what I'm thinking. I don't think he would either, 479 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 4: but we'll pause him. 480 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 2: Come back, Mark Rose in twenty minutes away.

I 505 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 2: aren't ship? Sure? 506 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: Love it right? 507 00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 2: Yeah? 508 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 4: You see this story? No, I took two bites and 509 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 4: had to spit it out. Candy makers are phasing out 510 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 4: real cocoa and chocolate No. Just before Valentine's Day, Brad 511 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 4: Reese bought a bag of Reese's unwrapped peanut butter cream 512 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 4: mini hearts from his local convenience store in West Palm Beach, Florida. 513 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 4: It's a brand new product released especially for the holiday 514 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 4: tagline will never Break Your Heart. Reese is a Reese's 515 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 4: officionado who makes a point of trying anything the company produces, 516 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 4: and this is uto coincidence. He's one of the Reeses, 517 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 4: a grandson of HB. Reese, the former Hershey dairy farmer 518 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 4: who invented the peanut butter cup back in nineteen twenty eight. 519 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 4: He invented it said, hey, this mix a little peanut 520 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 4: butter with chocolate to see what happens. Although he's never 521 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 4: worked for Reeses or Hershey, which acquired the Peanut butter 522 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 4: Cup Company nineteen sixty three, Reese considers himself a custodian 523 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 4: of Hb's legacy. He also takes an avid interest in 524 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 4: the Herd Company and its leadership. 525 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 2: I wonder maybe I'll probably have to look further into short. 526 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 4: Maybe because I just started reading it now, because I 527 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 4: just stumbled across it says he's never worked for Reese's organs. 528 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 2: Why, I don't know. Maybe it's one of those guys, is, 529 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 2: he goes. 530 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 4: I don't want people to say that I'm just riding 531 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 4: on the coattails. Then maybe he only he's went out 532 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 4: and he's created his own career. I would have just 533 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 4: written on the coattails myself. 534 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 1: Well, maybe he's already gotten a nice little fun sentence. 535 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,160 Speaker 1: Well that's probably what it doesn't need to work. Yeah, 536 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 1: you know, that's probably. 537 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 2: Exactly what it is. That's that's a good point. 538 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: He's golfing every day. 539 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 4: The unwrapped peanut butter cream many hearts proved to be 540 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 4: a disappointment, he goes, I took two bites and I 541 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 4: had to spit it out. I've never had that happen 542 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 4: to me ever in the seventy years of my life. 543 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 4: Oh he's an older guy. 544 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: Oh wow. 545 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 2: There was no taste. It was inedible. Inedible. 546 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 1: Sure. 547 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 4: Reese took a closer look at the packaging, specifically the ingredients. 548 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 2: He noticed that it set a. 549 00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 4: Milk chocolate The many hearts were covered in chocolate flavored 550 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 4: coating that was mostly sugar and vegetable oil. The list 551 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 4: of ingredients contained a disclaimer that the candy contained less 552 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,919 Speaker 4: than two percent cocoa. He visited the candy islet nearby 553 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,679 Speaker 4: supermarket to investigate further and found that several other Rises 554 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 4: and Hershey products, including Take five, Mister Goodbar, and heath Bars. 555 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 2: Heath Bar is my favorite. Heath Bar's chocolate over toffee. 556 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 4: You a heath Bar, guy, I've never had one that 557 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 4: I like. Toffee, Oh, coffee toffee, I like them. Both 558 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 4: also lacked milk. 559 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 2: Chocolate. 560 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 4: Cocoa obviously, is a central ingredient and chocolate complex food 561 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 4: almost on its own, and it tastes almost bitter. Since 562 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 4: humans began eating it, they've combined with all other ingredients, 563 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 4: such as cinnamon and chilis to make it more palatable. Hershey, Reesees, 564 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 4: and other commercial chocolate companies use sugar, milk, and oil. 565 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,199 Speaker 4: For Reese, the extras had finally overshadowed the bitterness, the 566 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 4: bitter sweetness of the cocoa in sense. 567 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 2: Then also a little depressed, Reese went. 568 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 4: On LinkedIn and wrote an open letter to Todd Scott, 569 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 4: the manager of corporate brand and editorial at Hershey's, to complain, 570 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,199 Speaker 4: how does the Hershey Company continue to position Reese's as 571 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 4: his flagship brand, a symbol of trust, quality, and leadership 572 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 4: walk quietly replacing the very ingredients that built Reese's trust 573 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 4: in the first place, and open editorial ripping the company 574 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 4: of his grandfather. Scott did not respond directly, but because 575 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 4: of Reese's ancestry, the press took notice. Mister Reese invited 576 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 4: Reese on No, mister Beast, I'm sorry, mister Beast. Mister 577 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 4: Yes invited Reese onto his YouTube channel. Now, what do 578 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 4: you know about mister Beast? He was in the Proposter 579 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 4: Saveming tournament. 580 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 2: That's exactly That's why I know the name. 581 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: He's basically like the most famous content creator out there. 582 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 4: Mister Beast invited Reese on his YouTube channel to try 583 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 4: his own Feastable's brand, but oh. 584 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: It is my kids always want feasibles just because mister 585 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: Beast came up with it. 586 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 4: The Hershey Company did not respond to The Guardian's request 587 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 4: for comment, but has put out a pair of statements 588 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 4: about Reesei's statements, one for the Reese family about how 589 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 4: most of HB. Reese's descendants didn't share Brad's criticisms, and 590 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 4: another defending the integrity of Reese's peanut butter cups, which 591 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,239 Speaker 4: are still made with milk, chocolate and peanut butter as 592 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 4: they've always been, while acknowledging a certain amount of experimentation 593 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 4: in other shapes and products. 594 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 2: What I'm told is chocolate is more expensive than it 595 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 2: used to be. 596 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: Well, that's what usually it's something costs related. Is the 597 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: reason this would be happening. 598 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 4: Why this is happening, it said, Limited supply and greater 599 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 4: demand led to higher prices. By twenty twenty four, Coco 600 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 4: had risen from two thousand to three thousand dollars per 601 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 4: ton to. 602 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 2: Twelve thousand dollars. 603 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 4: Wow per Ton.

And there are probably other 676 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 4: chocolate stores confection stores like this. They have old school 677 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 4: candies that you just generally don't find anymore, Like I. 678 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: Want to get unique stuff there have you? 679 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 4: Ever, I don't know if they again, I'll go with 680 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 4: the speedway thing. I don't think you can walk into 681 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 4: speedway and find Turkish taffy. Did you ever eat Turkish taffy? 682 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 4: Turkish taffy shaped like a candy bar thin. It came 683 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 4: in vanilla, chocolate and banana, and it was it was 684 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,719 Speaker 4: a taffy that was I mean, it would pull your 685 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 4: fillings out. 686 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 2: Okay. 687 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 4: What we would do as kids is we would put 688 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 4: them in the refrigerator or the freezer, get them frozen. 689 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 4: Then you would take it and smack it on the 690 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 4: table and would break into pieces. 691 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 2: And then you could just pop a piece in. 692 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 4: Your mouth because if you try to just eat it, 693 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 4: like I'm telling you, man, they could just tear that. 694 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 4: It could it could tear the fillings right out of 695 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 4: your out of your but, out. 696 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 2: Of your teeth. But that's what they had at the 697 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 2: Chocolate Ox. 698 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 4: They have all these candies that I think have sort 699 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,720 Speaker 4: of gone by the wayside that are harder to find 700 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 4: unless you go to specialty stores like a Chocolate Ox. Well, 701 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,799 Speaker 4: just selecting an ice cream at the Chocolate Ox, it's 702 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 4: hard to do. 703 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, forty different flavors. 704 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's impossible. Yeah, it is impossible. But yeah, 705 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,440 Speaker 1: I'm a big chocolate ox. I have an idea for 706 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 1: digital with you, by the way, what would that be? Well, So, 707 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 1: like Zach Holverson recently did like a blind taste test 708 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 1: with dit cokes around town. I saw that he had 709 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 1: to determine whether it was like a Dike coke from 710 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,840 Speaker 1: McDonald's or Burking. It's got different candy bars. You have 711 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,719 Speaker 1: to blind taste tests. You have to say which one 712 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:40,720 Speaker 1: it is based off the time. 713 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,879 Speaker 2: I'm all for that. How did Zach fare on that time? 714 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 1: I think it did pretty well, really like five of 715 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 1: age or something like that, which is, yeah, pretty insane. 716 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: And you could tell if it was like coming from 717 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 1: a bottle coming from a can. 718 00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 2: I think I might be able to do that too. 719 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: You see, if you can take them down so we 720 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 1: have care and do it for you. 721 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 4: Fountain drinks for me are better if it comes from 722 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 4: the fount And yeah, and I don't know why. Maybe 723 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:14,319 Speaker 4: it's because, look, my guess is ice cold, gop co 724 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,839 Speaker 4: cola or pepsi or any cola that's made is done 725 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 4: the same way. They got a big vat of bot 726 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 4: of syrup and they just mix it with carbonated water. Right, 727 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 4: Because if you ever go to like when you go 728 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 4: to a fast food place and you make your own 729 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 4: you see two things coming out. One looks like water, 730 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 4: the other looks like like like Coca cola. So I 731 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 4: think that's probably what they do. And I but I 732 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,840 Speaker 4: think fountain pop I can take. I can taste the 733 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 4: difference immediately, and it's better than can or bottle. 734 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,280 Speaker 1: I would agree when it comes to like coke pepsi, 735 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:51,800 Speaker 1: But when it comes to root beer, I'd rather have 736 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 1: the root beer out of a can or a bottle. 737 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 1: It always tastes different coming out of the fountain. You 738 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 1: like it better out of the Canada the bottle for 739 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: er oh, for root beer, pepsi and coke and those 740 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 1: types of products. I understand what you're saying, and I 741 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 1: would agree with you. Depends on the pop, is what 742 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:07,480 Speaker 1: I guess I'm saying. In the soda. 743 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,320 Speaker 4: Someone said Turkish taffy is available on Amazon. 744 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 1: Someone else says everything's available on Amazon. 745 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,240 Speaker 4: Bottoms, Turkish taffy has sold at Fratiloni's Hardware on Highway 746 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:27,399 Speaker 4: one oh one in Minnetonka. So Fratleon on by, I've 747 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 4: got it. There's a Fratleonis in my neighborhood. They're all 748 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 4: over the place there. I got one in Woodbury too. 749 00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 2: This one says. 750 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 4: The best chocolate I've had was from a cocoa farm 751 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 4: in Belize. 752 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 2: I don't believe him. Hell, we made chocolate from this 753 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:48,799 Speaker 2: pure cocoa form. 754 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 4: We're told that real chocolate needs to be refrigerated. We 755 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,719 Speaker 4: were told commercial chocolate as a chemical additive to keep 756 00:36:55,719 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 4: it solid at room temperature.

Well, I know 763 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 4: the shape and form, but I mean they've changed the ingredients. 764 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 4: Hey that it like it?
