1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,519
Speaker 1: And just in case you missed it, it's the top

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: five sports Dodgers of the day. Now it's time for

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 1: Dan Barrero's Top five and five brought to you by

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: Gutter Helmet of Minnesota. Never clean your gutters again. Learn

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: more at Gutter Helmet.

6
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 2: You know, the show with Mace after he's done is

7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 2: even better and he's on you know, that's that's when

8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 2: we get the really juicy stuff, you know, the stuff

9
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 2: that he's not quite sure he's ready to say on air,

10
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 2: although he went pretty far this week. He called Brian

11
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: Kelly obnoxious. That was good, and then he said, well,

12
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 2: he appears to be obnoxious. I think he's worried about

13
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 2: the headline because you're it. Does he realize we could

14
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 2: turn that into on X A headline, Yeah, Glenn Mason

15
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 2: Brian Kelly Kelly obnoxious and and it would get some

16
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: play nationally. And I'm not disagreeing with him, by the way,

17
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that he's an ex coach head coach,

18
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: so there would be there would be some reaction that

19
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 2: would there not be a modicum of buzz What a

20
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 2: way to a modicum of term it?

21
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 3: I guess, well you could call it the fifth Quarter

22
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 3: with Mace do a podcast called the Fifth Quarter.

23
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: I had more time, more time with him. Come on,

24
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 2: you want to talk vikes, Yeah, let's do it. I'm

25
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: not an idiot. I knew what I was signing up for.

26
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 2: Who said that today at TCO, I'm gonna say it

27
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: just might be Carson Wentz.

28
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 3: Carson Wentz, reading from our guy Ben Gestling story. Benel

29
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 3: joined on Friday said Wentz also said he wanted to

30
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 3: stay in Thursday night's loss against the Charger, saying he

31
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 3: thinks public backlash to the team keeping him in the

32
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 3: game is quote kind of crazy. This isn't my first rodeo.

33
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 3: I'm not an idiot. I knew what I was signing

34
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 3: up for going out there. Nobody was forcing, forcing me,

35
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 3: pressuring me, any of those things. Everybody's handled this tremendously.

36
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 3: Communication has been phenomenal, from coaches, trainers, all the things

37
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 3: we knew what we were doing. Alignment, collaboration, intentionality, I

38
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 3: did the last three I'm just saying.

39
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: We kind of knew all this. It's I'm gonna go.

40
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: As much as it pains me to agree with Mace,

41
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Mace on this and I get it,

42
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 2: he's a college coach. You could say he's thinking differently

43
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: because you know the players general. Well, actually now there

44
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: probably are gonna be some thirty two year old college

45
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: players soon, and you know Wentz as an adult. But

46
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: I'm I'm gonna go with Mace that the coach, no

47
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 2: matter what the level is, still has a certain measure

48
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 2: of responsibility. And I guess I'm not buying totally. And

49
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: I don't even think all doctors agree with the notion

50
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: that it couldn't get worse. I don't believe it. First

51
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: of all, it was some of the hits that he took,

52
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: but beyond that, I still believe the right decision was.

53
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: If you want to call it a mercy rule cadever

54
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: you want, there are times you have to protect the

55
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 2: player from himself, even if he's a thirty two year

56
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 2: old man. I firmly believe it. I think it was

57
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 2: a swing and miss by the Vikings and Koc in

58
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: this particular occasion. They can hide behind what a lot

59
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,119
Speaker 2: of people agree with. That's football, that's pro football. Come on, man,

60
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 2: we're not talking about a concussion. This isn't a head injury.

61
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 2: And we do what we do. But I don't accept

62
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: it in this case. I thought it was a bad

63
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 2: look for this organization. It'll be long forgotten. Especially if

64
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: McCarthy gets back on the field and plays well, then

65
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: what we're going to Well, obviously everybody's gonna move on.

66
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: It's not like people are gonna stop watching the team.

67
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: And along those lines.

68
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 3: JJ McCarthy was a full participant in practice today. The

69
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 3: first Vikings injury report of the week has been released.

70
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 3: His ankle allowed him to participate fully today. Christian Darisaw's

71
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 3: knee allowed him to participate fully today, and Andrew Van Ginkel,

72
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 3: for the first time in a while, was a full

73
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 3: participant in practice today. In terms of limited Brian O'Neil

74
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 3: was limited with the knee injury, Isaiah Rodgers limited with

75
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 3: his shoulder, Jonathan Grenard limited with an ankle. CJ Ham,

76
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 3: Jeff Acuta, and Josh Oliver all did not participate, but

77
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 3: the headline the three full participants right. Darrisaw talked about

78
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 3: him earlier in the show, JJ, he'es the QB and

79
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 3: gink to. Up until now, his biggest contribution has been

80
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 3: his wife canceling the Love books during by week. Might

81
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 3: be able to get back out on the field against

82
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 3: the Lions. I this could be very sizeable, There's no

83
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 3: question about it. I mean we're all looking for signs

84
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 3: of salvaging the season.

85
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 2: Is that possible? Is there much hope? You're obviously playing

86
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: a very difficult game against a good team on the road,

87
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 2: So all hands on deck, right. The greater the your

88
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 2: ability to get the pieces back or pieces back that

89
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 2: you think might be part of the solution, you obviously

90
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: welcome that you have the extra time to get those

91
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 2: players healthy as well. Van Ginkel is a very influential

92
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 2: part of this defense, There's no question about it. I

93
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: don't think they can hide behind the fact that there,

94
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 2: you know, act like they're the only team that ever

95
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 2: has injuries. But he's a high impact player when he's

96
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 2: going good, right, there's no question so, and I think

97
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 2: the betting line was he might still be a couple

98
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 2: of weeks off. So this has been a positive development.

99
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 2: We'll see how it goes as the week goes on,

100
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: but it's certainly a sign that he as said, he

101
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 2: intends to play this week. So you'll take at this

102
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 2: point whatever you can. If you're nail on oh Connell, correct.

103
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 3: The wild hell, the four point four to four to

104
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 3: two point four to two advantages in expected goals in

105
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 3: all situations per natural stat trick last night against Winnipeg,

106
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 3: but they lost four to three in overtime. They are

107
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 3: now zero five and one when trailing after giving trailing

108
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 3: after the first period, which they were last night. They

109
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 3: got down two rip pretty much right away. They've given

110
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 3: up the first goal in eight of their first eleven

111
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 3: games and have nine points, good enough for seventh place

112
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 3: outside of the seventh place in the wild card spot.

113
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 3: Right now, they only keep two and are not doing

114
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 3: great with Pittsburgh on the horizon.

115
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 2: Tomorrow night at the X. Yeah, well, but they played great.

116
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: They played they deserve better fate. That's what we're hearing again,

117
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 2: as we talked about much earlier in the program. It's

118
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 2: a message that should mean absolutely nothing to hardcore, grizzled

119
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 2: Minnesota Wild fans who have every right to say, I

120
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 2: don't need that any longer, I need victories, I don't

121
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 2: need consolation prizes. And the sooner you get on with

122
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 2: the act of winning more games and dispensing with the

123
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 2: nonsense of we deserve a better fate, we'll all be

124
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 2: much happier for it. It's an easy itch that gets

125
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 2: scratched often. They're not the only team that doesn't. It's

126
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: not the only sport in which that itch is scratched by.

127
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 2: If you're a team, as I said earlier, with as

128
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 2: little winning equity as the Minnesota Wild as a franchise

129
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 2: have right now, even if I believed it as a player, coach, assistant, coach,

130
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: general manager, I wouldn't utter it out loud because I

131
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 2: wouldn't expect it to have any meaning to people who

132
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 2: scratch their head and go, what are we doing? Well?

133
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: How am I supposed to feel better about a deep

134
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 2: stat analytic that says we should have won the game?

135
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 2: Was it four point two to two point four? Yeah? Right,

136
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 2: four point four to two point four two? Maybe they

137
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: were happy for everybody's there's there is no that's not

138
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: when you look at the standings, that will not be reflected.

139
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 3: Wolves back in action tonight eight thirty against the Lakers.

140
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 3: You'll hear it right here.

141
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: In game right now with the Charles and the gang. Yeah,

142
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: they're talking about it. Lakers and uh Wolves.

143
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 3: No Aunt, no Luca, no Lebron, Jalen Clark is questionable

144
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 3: with the left calf strain. He missed the game against

145
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 3: Denver on Monday night. Otherwise everybody is expected to go

146
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,400

156
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 2: Is that is that specially like a Halloween costume? Because

157
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 2: they got a lot of Halloween graphics around them? It's

158
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 2: right around the corner. I don't know. Did you see

159
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 2: who the fine sponsor is for the ESPN tip Off

160
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 2: show with Charles and the Gang, Popeyes my frequent Friday post.

161
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 2: Enough set stop, I'm making me hungry right now. Standing

162
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 2: sure Kessler's in the house. He's here. He's going to

163
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 2: join about five thirty. He's going to file a live

164
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 2: report on what it was like to be at the

165
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 2: stadium as the Vikings were getting crushed by the Los

166
00:08:53,160 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 2: Angeles Chargers of San Diego. For the record, the Vikings

167
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: have added quarterback John Walford to the practice squad. We

168
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 2: knew they were going to add Nita Hat add a

169
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 2: third body, and they apparently have. He's thirty. He's played

170
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 2: in seven NFL games, four starts, going back from twenty

171
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 2: twenty to twenty two. One start with the Rams in

172
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 2: twenty twenty, when Kevin O'Connell was the Rams offensive coordinator.

173
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 2: For the record, he led his team to an eighteen

174
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 2: to seven home win against Arizona that was the last

175
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 2: game of the regular season. He was twenty two for

176
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 2: thirty eight twenty thirty one yards of an interception, and

177
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 2: a passer rating of not particularly distinguished sixty four point seven.

178
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 2: So it makes sense, we said, I don't think they

179
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 2: have any intention of having him enter the fray as

180
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 2: the backup. It looks like they're prepared to go forward

181
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: with Max Brozemer as the backup. But you got to

182
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 2: have three quarterbacks, right because of emergency, the possibility of

183
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 2: both of them getting hurt, whatever the case may be.

184
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 2: But that was the name. I could not remember, I

185
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 2: don't remember anything about him, do you. I'm not denying

186
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 2: that he existed, not exists in the National Football League.

187
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 2: Is it possible we're going to rue the day that

188
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 2: we didn't find a way to keep Josh MiNet. They're

189
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 2: raving about him in Boston. He just started his first game.

190
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 2: I think it was against the New Orleans Pelican New Orleans,

191
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 2: I should say Pels. They destroy the Pells one hundred

192
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 2: and twenty two to ninety and why not. Scores a

193
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 2: career high fifteen. Inserted into the starting lineup after a

194
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 2: very promising game the game before, nine boards, a steal,

195
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 2: and a block shot in twenty eight minutes. He finished

196
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 2: with a wait for it, plus minus of plus forty two.

197
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 2: The job is done. We can go home now, tying

198
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 2: for the eighth best wreck mark in team history during

199
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 2: the play by play era. Now we have fun with

200
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 2: the we didn't need him things. Sometimes we mean it,

201
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 2: sometimes we don't. But I did file away a comment

202
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 2: going all the way back to late training camp before

203
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 2: the season began, that I heard from the very capable

204
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 2: basketball analyst named Brian Scalabrini and scal as he is

205
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 2: affectionately called among his friends. He's former NBA player and

206
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 2: has become big time color analyst on Celtics games now.

207
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 2: In fact, he's one of the color analysts on is

208
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 2: He NBCNBC, NBC and Peacock. In passing, I heard him

209
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 2: say the Celtics have no idea how the Wolves could

210
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 2: let this kid go, That he was the talk of

211
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 2: training camp. There was great belief. Now again, the Celtics

212
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 2: are in a mode this year where they can play

213
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 2: around a little bit. Right They're waiting for their star

214
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 2: player to come back healthy, Jason Tatum, who might or

215
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 2: might not. I think the betting money is because he's

216
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 2: a freak when it comes to being in shape, that

217
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 2: he's going to play before the season's done. But they

218
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 2: do have a little in the interim, a little more

219
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 2: freedom to say we're gonna throw some people out there,

220
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 2: including Luca, who also, by the way, had a nice game.

221
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 2: Check the Luca numbers in the last last box score.

222
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 2: But Skal said, they are in love with mine, not

223
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 2: especially at the age of twenty two years old. So

224
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 2: will we rue the day? I don't know. I'm just asking, Well,

225
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 2: they liked him, but they did like him, but we

226
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 2: couldn't keep them. I guess couldn't find a way to

227
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 2: keep him. No, here's the quote from mine, not after

228
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 2: the Celtics one hundred and twenty two to ninety victory.

229
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 2: I'm still kind of high on life from the game

230
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 2: right now. I mean, just the opportunity to be out

231
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 2: there just to contribute to winning, contribute to team success.

232
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 2: I can't take that for granted. Joe is in the

233
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 2: head coach Missoula has given me the opportunity, and I

234
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 2: just don't want to allow that to go in vain.

235
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 2: You gotta love that hunger, don't you know. You gotta

236
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 2: love the sentiment that's offered there.

237
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 3: He sat on the bench here for three years, well

238
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 3: pretty much ever, sixteen and six for Luca, by the way,

239
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 3: off the bench, not bad. Three for four from three

240
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 3: that ain't bad. It is all four fouls, that makes sense.

241
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 3: So there you have it. Mine not off to a

242
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 3: nice start.

243
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 2: I'm not ready to call him the new oppressor as

244
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 2: in Finchy the way we you know, would kid that. Yeah,

245
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 2: Tibbs was referred to if you recall it, about a

246
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 2: year ago. At this time, why not was kind of

247
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 2: the eighth guy in the rotation. They were giving him

248
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 2: run right or trying to. And he played pretty well.

249
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 2: But he's one of those guys that Finchy never warmed

250
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 2: up to. He always had the short on his defensive issue,

251
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 2: whatever it was. It was one of those bits where

252
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 2: Finchy never really warmed up to him. So good for

253
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 2: him because he's a talented guy. We knew that. Apparently

254
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 2: he had a kind of a scary fall, did mine

255
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 2: not in the second quarter. Here's the quote from his coach.

256
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 2: He doesn't have a choice. You get hurt, you're not

257
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 2: playing ever again. So he had the right attitude, he

258
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 2: got up, he always got the deflection. I think again,

259
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 2: hadn't gone the way we anticipated. I think we've gotten

260
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 2: better physically and mentally in those plays. Show that. The

261
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 2: other thing I forgot to mention I should have mentioned

262
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 2: this with Johnny during the preseason. Did you see what

263
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 2: Missoula started doing to make a point about the importance

264
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 2: of offensive rebounding. No, I've never heard of this before,

265
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 2: even in preseason. I haven't heard of this, he told

266
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 2: his seams, so there was no surprise here. He basically said, look,

267
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 2: here's the rule we're playing under in the preseason. If

268
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 2: your man steals an offense, gets an offensive rebound at

269
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 2: your expense. You're coming out of the game next breaking

270
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 2: the action. And he did it. He did it a bunch.

271
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 2: How often do we see that sort of direct accountability

272
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 2: in an NBA game? Say high school, you might, yeah, JV,

273
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 2: you might. So he and he apparently held to it,

274
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: you know, like guys were conditioned enough to help, Okay,

275
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 2: stop it and play. I'm gonna walk over the bench

276
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 2: because I gotta be pulled because I let I let

277
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 2: my guy get an offensive board. The standard is the standard,

278
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 2: the Celtic standard. I'm gonna guess Wolves Lakers tonight late

279
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 2: game here on the fan. I'm gonna say the Wolves

280
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 2: are favored by one and a half.

281
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 3: They are favored by seven and a half according to

282
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 3: ESPN bets.

283
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 2: I disrespected them, and I guess I am because they

284
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 2: Lebron and lift some Luca are both out correct correct

285
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 2: And we got one superstar out, Anthony Edwards. But we

286
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 2: got it. As far as we know, we have everybody

287
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 2: else pretty much. Clark's going to be a game time destras,

288
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 2: but he's a rotation guy. He's not a starter, but

289
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 2: every other starter naz Reid everybody else is good well.

290
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 2: In all honesty, one of the challenges this year, it's

291
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 2: well known, we're not the first, it's not the first

292
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 2: time we've discussed this. To me, has to be the

293
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 2: year where Finchy finds a creative way to play more

294
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 2: young players, even if he's gritting his even if he

295
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 2: has to grit his teeth sometimes doing it, you know,

296
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 2: because I know in the Finchy purest world, it's like,

297
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 2: I don't want to play a guy until he proves

298
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 2: to me he's worthy of it. In practice, I don't

299
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 2: like seeing breakdowns, right, I think that's what hurts doing

300
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 2: him yep. But I think because of the change in

301
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 2: the roster from last season, he's got to find a way.

302
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 2: And to me, the key to this is, on a

303
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 2: given day, if a guy's going a little bit better,

304
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 2: play him longer, do it in drips and drabs, and

305
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 2: it might then lead to something more systematic. I just

306
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 2: don't you. I think he's got to he's got to

307
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 2: be and so some of this has to do with

308
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 2: his creativity. Give me a you know, he's got to

309
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 2: find a matchup where oh no, this is the game

310
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 2: where we get another ten minutes out of Dillingham. I

311
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 2: like this matchup better. And then if you build some

312
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 2: success with that, not just with him, but he certainly

313
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 2: keep part of this going forward, then maybe that player

314
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 2: gains a little more confidence and you get to a

315
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 2: better place so that by the end of the season

316
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: or three quarters of the way through the season, you've got

317
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 2: you're seeing signs of what was seen in any number

318
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: of these players when Tim Conley decided to draft them

319
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 2: correct or require them to give them a shot. You're

320
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 2: a guy, Walker Kessler. Do you see what he did?

321
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 2: Who's their big score in Utah? I can see him,

322
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 2: but I can't, uh market markin also want to everybody's

323
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 2: scoring fifty these days. I mean, fifty is like no

324
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 2: big deal anymore, apparently. But Walker Kessler had a monster

325
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 2: her game. I think it was something like twenty six

326
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 2: fifteen nine block shots. And most people have predicted that

327
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 2: Utah was going to be lucky to win ten games

328
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 2: this year. I think they've already won two, So keep

329
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 2: that in mind as well. Kessler's in the house. He

330
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 2: was in Los Angeles for the Vikings Rams debacle. He

331
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 2: will tell us why Chargers not Rams. That's that was

332
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 2: last year. Debacle. Chargers was the opponent. If he got

333
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 2: any brawls, who we rubbed elbows with? Did he smoke

334
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 2: any of the ganja out there, because everybody says in

335
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 2: California it's a little bit more potent. And we'll get

336
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 2: to some political ups and downs as well with Kessey

337
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 2: when we return. I wish the American media would take

338
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 2: a great look at the views that the people in

339
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 2: conference would find out how they at Kessler, because people

340
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 2: have got to know whether or not they're presidents are croup.

341
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 2: I can't trust Omama. He's an air pressler. Tear down

342
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 2: this wall. I did nothing wrong at the Minneapolis Airport. Senator,

343
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 2: You're no Jack Kennedy Pakresler. And now to help Dan

344
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 2: break down all the tough questions in politics. It's our

345
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 2: own political walk. I feel like a supermodel, except like

346
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 2: Times ten. It's Channel fourth Bankussler with Dan Barrero on

347
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 2: the fan. It is back from the uh his latest junket,

348
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 2: the Stories the Stadium Town to the West Coast. He

349
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 2: is a world traveler. Kessler has become, in his ancient

350
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 2: old age, a big time world traveler Italy one week

351
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles, California. Yeah, who knew that you had

352
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 2: this in you has it really has more to say

353
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 2: about your better half than it does you. But I mean,

354
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 2: who's to blame you for taking full advantage of exactly that,

355
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Why it hurts me? Not

356
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 2: a lot? That a lot that sounded a little cold.

357
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 2: That sounded colder than I intended. Oh really damn yeah.

358
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 2: So I mean my life I'm blessed. I mean, my

359
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 2: life is awesome? Are you kidding me? So?

360
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 4: I went there though, with a little trepidation in Los

361
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 4: Angeles for the vikings last Thursday, and I was a

362
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 4: little nervous, uh, touchdown everything, you know, just a little nervous.

363
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 2: Seriously, Oh, you're not a nervous flyer, are you?

364
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 4: Most of the Well, you know, I'm nervous about what

365
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 4: I was going to see it find on the ground.

366
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 4: Well Antifa, oh iesharerism.

367

Speaker 2: you know what You're again any time ahead, keep going.

369
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 4: But you know, instead, you know, you got really good

370
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,719
Speaker 4: looking guys and shorty shorts running on the beach, and

371
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 4: you got gals just in in California dreaming bikes. I mean,

372
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 4: it was just I was looking for the guard couldn't

373
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 4: find them.

374
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, what what? What am I? What has happened?

375
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 2: I don't know, I have no I must be living

376
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 2: in a bubble. You probably are. It wouldn't be the

377
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 2: first time, so.

378
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 4: No it Yeah, it was just freaking awesome California, including

379
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 4: the game.

380
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 2: I loved it. You didn't watch it?

381
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 4: Did you get you know, watching the game of the

382
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 4: spectacle almost didn't go, almost did not make it to

383
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 4: the game because of traffic. No, because of the toilet

384
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 4: in my hotel room.

385
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 2: What what happened? My life was transformed when I met

386
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 2: this toilet. Well, you know what. Part of the problem is,

387
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 2: California's got all the extra rules that you barely get

388
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 2: enough of a flush because they want to conserve the water.

389
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 2: So there's your there's your your special California for you.

390
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 3: I didn't whatever you want.

391
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 2: Was this a bidet or is this a toilet? You

392
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 2: mean that where it sprays water all over your butt? Yeah? Yeah,

393
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 2: you a big bidet guy. They're big in Italy, I

394
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 2: think in Spain, very very very big. Yeah. I know,

395
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 2: this is an incredible thing.

396
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,719
Speaker 4: I was so moved by it that I actually texted

397
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 4: guards this.

398
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 2: It's one of those toilets where the you it's it's

399
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 2: warmed at the position where your chieks meet the toilet.

400
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 1: Li.

401
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 2: But I didn't you know.

402
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 4: But even when I walk into the special room of

403
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 4: the shuttered room a bathroom. No, no, there's a room

404
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 4: within the room within the room and you and as

405
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 4: the toilet senses your presence, the lid pops up.

406
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 2: But come on, you're making that out. I am not

407
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 2: making guards Am I making that? Not making it up? Well,

408
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 2: here's the problem. What if you want to sit on

409
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 2: the commode? Does it with the lid down? Oh you

410
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 2: mean the lid lid? I thought you okay, the lid lid.

411
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 3: So the lid it just it just magically, the len

412
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 3: goes up, the seat remains. Are you on your own

413
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 3: for the seat or can you just say Alexa, yeah,

414
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 3: you didn't have to talk.

415
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,959
Speaker 2: It just I mean it like it reads your mind. Yes, wow,

416
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 2: it's crazy wow. Uh and so yeah, and then you

417
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 2: can sit on it and that and you fall asleep

418
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 2: sitting there just because it's just unbelievable. And I didn't

419
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 2: want to leave.

420
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 4: So now you're telling me you weren't at the Ramana. Well,

421
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 4: here's the deal. So then I, you know, I don't

422
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 4: know how to flush this toilet. I didn't tell you

423
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 4: this part cards because you know, I discovered that it's

424
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 4: got like a sensor a smartphone. It's got a smartphone

425
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 4: on the wall that I you know what, and you

426
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 4: got to look at it.

427
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just it was unbelievable. So so I

428
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,719
Speaker 2: almost missed the bus just so fascinated with the toilet.

429
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I mean it's it's I'm telling you, it's

430
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 4: like it's like my dog a few years ago would

431
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 4: chase squirrels all the time and one day he caught

432
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 4: a squirre.

433
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and that's where the troubles starts. And that well,

434
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 2: that was it. For the rest of his life. He

435
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 2: sat at the bottom of the tree. Yea for another

436
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 2: And that's what it was like. This transformed my life.

437
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 2: And I just so you you almost didn't get to

438
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 2: the game on time because it was so it's such

439
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 2: a transcendent experience, that's what it was. It's a transformation.

440
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 4: Have you ever seen a toilet like and I probably

441
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 4: never will again unless all of us have them in

442
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 4: our homes in the future.

443
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 2: Well, you could afford it, you know, question why not? Yeah?

444
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 4: So yeah, So the game is uh yeah, it was

445
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 4: very disappointing, no doubt about it.

446
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 2: But here's the deal. So we're up pretty high, so

447
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 2: it's almost.

448
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 4: Like the stadium, so fi yeah, it's oh man, it's

449
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 4: it's quite the stadium and has this incredible scoreboard hanging

450
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 4: down the middle of the field, and you know it's

451
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 4: it's all set up for betting, which I'm not sure

452
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 4: is a really good idea.

453
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 2: So we don't need your puritan stuff.

454
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 4: Okay, they have a DJ there that kind of walks

455
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 4: us through the whole game, and I think we need

456
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 4: that at US Bank.

457
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 2: But here's the thing.

458
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 4: So I'm up high enough so it's almost like a

459
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 4: telestrator where I can see everything from up on top

460
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 4: and you can see what's happening. And if you've ever

461
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 4: been at a movie theater where it's a scary movie.

462
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 2: And you hear people in the audience say don't no, no, no,

463
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 2: don't don't go in there. Turn around. He's coming right

464
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 2: at you, That's what it was like.

465
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 4: So you can see these guys coming, you can see

466
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 4: the play begin beginning to develop on both sides of

467
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 4: the ball, and you see Carson Wentz standing there and

468
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 4: you can see them coming at him.

469
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 2: And no, no turn around, He's right behind you. You know,

470
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 2: it's just like in the Scary movie. So, was this

471
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 2: in one of the beautiful people sweets? Why would I

472
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 2: tell you that? Well, he already told guards. He so

473
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 2: I never said a word. No, you didn't. You're right.

474
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 2: It was a third party. And what you know, I thought,

475
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 2: nobody thinks you're a man of the people. I thought

476
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 2: there was a code of honor. No, not on that.

477
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 4: Where if you're in the suite, you know, you know

478
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 4: what am I going to say?

479
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 2: Who are you going to say? The names of everybody?

480
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 2: Are you very high level? Was there any of the

481
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 2: Calm Helgan know what's her name? Yeah? I have the

482
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 2: name right? Was she there? She was great? Was Hank there?

483
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 4: She was a really good administrator, and I'm what happened?

484
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 4: She's pretty amazing. Of course she will look at do

485
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 4: you love? Why do you hate the US Bank Stadium?

486
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 4: It's an incredible stadium.

487
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 3: I got to the bottom of his litter. He always

488
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 3: defends Thehlgans because he's the new Hank. He's the new

489
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 3: Hank that gets to come along.

490
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 4: For all these things. Yeah, you're right, Hank Kestler. No,

491
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 4: I don't defend SOFI Stadium. Although it's it's it's pretty cool,

492
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,479
Speaker 4: but it's nothing like the US Bank experience.

493
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 2: Do you do this?

494
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 4: Give me one that's better. I'm just asking you. I

495
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 4: would love to see the Raiders Stadium. I'd like to

496
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,120
Speaker 4: see that. I think, why am I doing it? Because

497
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:33,959
Speaker 4: I tell the truth?

498
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 2: No, you're doing it because you've been in local TV

499
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 2: for decades and you know that the way to ingratiate

500
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 2: yourself into people's hearts, the audience is to pretend that

501
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 2: everything here is better. That's what you do. That's you're

502
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 2: trained from the moment you walked in to the w

503
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 2: CCO TV studios to say exactly that. I'm not a fool.

504
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 4: That hurts me even more. Yeah, denying it, Well, it

505
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 4: doesn't hurt that much, Okay.

506
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 2: So I I think it's a great experience. And they

507
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 2: and they have this this like right before the game

508
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 2: like we have, and where you've got this incredible thing

509
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 2: where you introduce the vikings and the pre show and

510
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 2: that they have something like that there.

511
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 4: It's really cute it really Do you mean you mean

512
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 4: like it's here yeah, well here it's like the North.

513
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 4: All we are in the North and we are Vikings,

514
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 4: you know that kind of they don't have. But it's

515
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 4: it's it's cool. It is a cool same here's the

516
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 4: thing about it. So it's two teams in theres the Chargers,

517
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 4: so there isn't all of the paraphernalia, wall coverings, and

518
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 4: because you got.

519
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 2: To every week. So so you know, I'm not saying

520
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 2: it's teriled. And it was a hell of a lot

521
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 2: of fun, but you know, yeah, it wasn't a very

522
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're a Vikings fan and you're there,

523
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 2: it's not a very entertaining outcome. Well, no, I was

524
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 2: pretty much.

525
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: I was.

526
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 4: I was shocked very beginning. I thought we had a shot.

527
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 4: You know, these guys.

528
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 2: Were you clamoring from your from the suite, were you

529
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 2: clamoring for Were you yelling down to Koc saying, well

530
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 2: take him out of the game? What are decency man?

531
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 4: Yes, sir uh we we all were wondering that, no

532
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 4: doubt about it.

533
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 2: But it was more like it's Rosemard time. There was

534
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 2: some of that out there.

535
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I kind of kept it to myself a

536
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 4: little bit, you know, because there's all these vikes people there,

537
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 4: and you.

538
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 2: Know you don't want to offend any sensibilities. Well, yeah,

539
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 2: I mean I do. Yeah, but I think did you

540
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 2: run into the wolfs? Or is that they're not They're

541
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 2: in a separate area, I assume, right, kind of not

542
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 2: farre enough from you within arm's length. You're saying, which

543
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 2: of the wolfs are you more likely to get in

544
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 2: roads with? Lenny Lenny? Yeah, I don't know.

545
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 3: He's one of the cousins, right, he's one of the cousins.

546
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 2: A good vibe.

547
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 4: Absolutely, his real names, Leonard Kessler calls him Lenny Lenny. Yeah, yeah,

548
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 4: I said, Leonard, Yeah you did. I forgot about him.

549
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. He's the best. Apologized about Ziggy.

550
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 4: No, not at all. I think Ziggy's misunderstood. And Mark

551
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 4: Wilf is the guy who's out there all the time.

552
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 2: He's usually everybody for coming here.

553
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 4: He's the one that I try to give advice to.

554
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 4: And he looks vacantly over my shoulder.

555
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 2: Were you anywhere near? Did you have for any advice

556
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 2: to Quasi? Now? What if none of the stuff works

557
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 2: out with these trades?

558
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 4: I mean the thesis, Yeah, that's what I should say

559
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 4: these acquisitions that could be I mean, that was a

560
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:57,719
Speaker 4: big topic of conversation on Thursday night. Is it didn't

561
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 4: look as if, let's just say, the line was porous

562
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 4: on both sides of the ball, offense and defense. And

563
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 4: I'm telling you when you're watching it from from that

564
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 4: angle where it's it's crazy because you see the plays developing.

565
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 4: They're good ideas, but my man, are they man? It

566
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 4: looked it was. It was pretty tough. It was hard

567
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 4: to watch. You're going to be maybe offended by this one.

568
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 4: US Bank is fine for game viewing logistics. However, getting in,

569
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,719
Speaker 4: getting out, going to bathrooms, getting the bathrooms, concourse traffic,

570
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 4: that all sucks. Well, you know, that's an interesting thing.

571
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 4: I told you about the coliseum. I just returned from Rome,

572
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 4: as you know, at the coliseum. I mean, I'm talking

573
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 4: about the coliseum the thousand years ago two s's.

574
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Colisseum one L two s's.

575
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 4: It's at eum that had a seating capacity of seventy

576
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 4: eight thousand, and scientists did a study just a couple

577
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 4: of years ago and they found that you could empty

578
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 4: the stadium, empty the Colisseum in twenty two minutes.

579
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 2: Come on, I'm not making this up.

580
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 4: Well, how do they know twenty two minutes based on

581
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 4: all the entrances egress the size.

582
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 2: That's impressive, which is did they have they have sweets?

583
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 2: Then they do?

584
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, nero, that nero is Yeah, that's probably I probably

585
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 4: would have been right there.

586
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

587
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 4: So it takes twenty two minutes to get out, which

588
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 4: is more quickly than any football arena.

589
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 2: Soccer they know, we don't in the world right now.

590
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 4: They tested this in the Olympics Beijing when they built

591
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 4: this beautiful facility in Beijing and discovered that you still

592
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 4: can't really get out. And so I mean, you have

593
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 4: a point, listener, you have a point with that. But

594
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 4: it's still the overall experience. I think the concourses are

595
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,959
Speaker 4: generally wide. Have you've been to the one in Phoenix?

596
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 4: Have you been to the Cardinal Stadium? I think, I

597
00:33:55,840 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 4: mean it's it's uh, you get funneled into a like

598
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 4: a two lane thing. It's a little crazy there. I

599
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 4: think it's pretty good. I don't know of one that

600
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 4: is better in the United States. I mean, I'm asking

601
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 4: you tell me what it is. You tell me what

602
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 4: it is. But the stadium is about better.

603
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 2: Than what matter if there was one, well, you would

604
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 2: still pretend they're.

605
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 4: I'm open for suggestions, you know, listeners. I mean, let's

606
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 4: let me know.

607
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I'll put us a textall line six four

608
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 2: six eight six Yeah. Brat Sean Brian Kafan text Day

615
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 2: Thirty five days? So we're approaching it.

616
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 4: We are, and this one is getting a little tougher

617
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 4: because more things are closed this government shutdown than in

618
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:57,800
Speaker 4: previous ones. The last one thirty five days was that

619
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 4: I'm going to say twenty eighteen, and it was because

620
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 4: Congress would not go with building the wall. And this

621
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 4: one is going to be really tough. On Saturday, which

622
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 4: is November first, there will be no money for.

623
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 2: Food stamps, for example, snap payments.

624
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 4: In Minnesota, there were four hundred and forty thousand people

625
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 4: on food stamps. So where you're going to get food

626
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 4: if you are on food stamps? The insurance benefits we

627
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 4: already see that they're starting to go up. This week,

628
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 4: air traffic controllers missed their first paycheck. So what does that?

629
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,879
Speaker 4: What does that mean? I mean, everybody's going to work

630
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 4: without a paycheck. You're flying. There are food stamps that

631
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,760
Speaker 4: are a problem. TSA is a problem. They're not getting

632
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 4: paid military. Where's somebody going to come for from for that?

633
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 4: This is going to be a mess.

634
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 2: When do there They're going to be healthy hikes as

635
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,240
Speaker 2: soon as Saturday? Is that correct?

636
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 4: No, it'll be at the end of this year. But

637
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,479
Speaker 4: they are setting the rates right now.

638
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 2: Okay.

639
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 4: And in Minnesota, we have just learned that you can

640
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 4: kind of go window shopping right now. You can go

641
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 4: online and see what And there are also you know,

642
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 4: four hundred thousand people who are on the exchange, on

643
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 4: the Affordable Care Act exchange, and it's going to go

644
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 4: up quite a bit.

645
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 2: It's going to go up. Medica, for example, is projecting

646
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 2: thirty one percent increase and others health Partners you Care

647
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 2: eighteen to twenty seven percent. That is before there the

648
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 2: subsidies that everybody gets.

649
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 3: Here it is got a deal, guardsy, No, but we

650
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 3: should break into at least let people know that John Hayman,

651
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 3: your guy baseball writer, Yes, reporting that? Hang on you

652
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,439
Speaker 3: sure it's the real John Hayman? I am okay, nine

653
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty five thousand followers. Derek Shelton being hired

654
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:03,440

Speaker 2: WHOA interesting? WHOA sweet?

656
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 3: From two minutes ago? Other people may have said it,

657
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 3: he's the first one I saw him, just kind of

658
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 3: looking at it here. But Derek Shelton being hired as

659
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 3: Twins manager. So we'll keep you posted here on more

660
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 3: confirmation and talk about it in a minute.

661
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 2: Fair enough. I was disappointed. I want a level to

662
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 2: get this scoop he may have. Yeah, we don't even know. Okay,

663
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 2: well we'll get so. Former manager of the Pirates interviewed

664
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 2: back in eighteen. I that's not the guy I wanted.

665
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 2: But I'm not a ball guy, so it doesn't really

666
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 2: matter what I think.

667
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 4: I mean, it's good to it's good to close the

668
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 4: loop on this. Don't you agree?

669
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 2: Does it? Ordinarily I'd say yes. I think this is

670
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 2: going to be met largely with a yawn by fans

671
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 2: because I just don't think. I don't think they feel like,

672
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 2: you know, anything matters right now until we get a

673
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 2: better sense of the vision. Wrong within the you know,

674
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 2: within the program, you are not wrong? Whether when we

675
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 2: find have a se same Rowson's a guy was interested

676
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 2: in he was he had been here before, hitting coach

677
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 2: at now New York. Yeah, yeah, but and he I

678
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 2: think he well, I know he was interviewed. I think

679
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 2: allegedly Tory Hunter wasn't interested in being an interviewed. But

680
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 2: then love Will talked to Hunter and he denied that

681
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 2: he'd been approached.

682
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 4: So I don't know where we're at. I mean, what

683
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 4: does it What do you want as an exciting manager?

684
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 4: I mean where people are going to get excited. Sparky Anderson, yeah,

685
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 4: or Joe Madden. I mean, now Joe Madden would be

686
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 4: who is the manager that would excite people? Maybe we

687
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 4: need meat and potatoes guy, you know, maybe that's what.

688
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 2: We need here. Shelton was the manager of the Pirates

689
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 2: for five plus seasons and as guards. He said he

690
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 2: was a finalist back in October twenty eighteen. That's when

691
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 2: Rocco and the Baldali Lama was hired. Tight with Your

692
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 2: Guy Falvey and then GM Dad Levigne. According to the

693
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 2: he also helped to engineer in al Labert plan to

694
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 2: allow Joe Maher to catch one last pitch after more

695
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 2: than five years away from the position in the final

696
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 2: game of his career. That's good. Excite me all that

697
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 2: much is I did think that was funny when I

698
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 2: read that's a nugget that I'm going, Okay, that's nice.

699
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 2: I just hope that's not one of his main qualifications.

700
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 2: But of course he has managed before. So yeah, bench

701
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 2: coach for the Twins in twenty eighteen. Yeah, so Yankees, Indians, Rays,

702
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 2: Blue Jays, and then the manager of the Pirate. We're

703
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 2: happy for him. All right, here we go, Let's go.

704
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 2: All right. I got a lot more to try to

705
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 2: get to with you, including this was an interesting well,

706
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 2: this is the way one of the online snarky online

707
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:49,839
Speaker 2: folks wrote it. Cryptozoologists report a rare sighting of an

708
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 2: alleged third branch of government. We'll explain exactly what we

709
00:39:53,840 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 2: mean on that and more, Kessler. When we returned Kesler

710
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 2: back in the house, as we prepare for a big

711
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 2: night of basketball on the fan. We are game two

712
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 2: of the national doubleheader tonight tow I CESPN night I

713
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 2: believe it is, and game one. Here's the beauty of

714
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 2: it if you're a Wolve's officionado. Game one is Boston

715
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 2: taking on somebody I can't even remember who it is,

716
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 2: but they're hosting, and that means you can seeze a

717
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 2: couple of ex Wolves that we just were talking about

718
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:40,800
Speaker 2: back in the lineup, Josh starting Luca off the bench

719
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 2: as well, and then it's Wolves and the Los Angeles Lakers.

720
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,959
Speaker 2: I was just chatting with Kessler about Hillbilly Kobe, giving

721
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 2: a little background on him. That, of course is Austin

722
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 2: Reeves forty one point fifty one his last two games.

723
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,919
Speaker 2: Now again, he doesn't he couldn't guard any of us,

724
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 2: and the Wolves took advantage of that. He's not a

725
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 2: good defensive player at all, but he can score a

726
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 2: little bit. And with Lebron out again us with lifts

727
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 2: some Luca out as well. I mean, then that explains

728
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 2: a lot. Let me get back to the snarky tweet

729
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 2: I'd mentioned that I teased with out of the break

730
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 2: to get your reaction to it. I can find it

731
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:29,720
Speaker 2: when I scrolled down here. It is somebody named Jesse Walker.

732
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 2: I don't know what his background is. He's got a

733
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 2: blog like everybody wrote Cryptozoologists Report a rare sighting of

734
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 2: an alleged third branch of government and what inspired this snark?

735
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 2: A tweet from somebody named Jamie Dupree. The Senate this

736
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 2: was I think from yesterday votes fifty two to forty

737
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 2: eight to overturn President Trump's fifty percent tariffs on Brazil.

738
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 2: Five GOP senators break ranks to vote against Trump. Collins, Maine, McConnell, Kentucky, Murkowski,

739
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 2: He's She's Alaska, Lastic, Paul is in random assuming Kentucky,

740
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 2: and Tilli's North Carolina. So what do we know about this?

741
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 2: And is this could this? Is this a breakthrough or

742
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 2: is this just a very isolated situation that does not

743
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 2: mean that the the the Senate or Republican legislators might

744
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 2: grow a backbone.

745
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,360
Speaker 4: Well, this is a significant step because it does indicate

746
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 4: that some Republicans are becoming very frustrated with the tariffs.

747
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 4: This doesn't have anything to do with the shutdown except for, Okay,

748
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 4: they've passed this bill, let's see what the House does.

749
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 2: But the House is.

750
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 4: Not in session and the Speaker of the House will

751
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,839
Speaker 4: not So does this make this symbolic as much? Well,

752
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,800
Speaker 4: they want to get the ball rolling right, right, and

753
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 4: so none of this is going to happen now farmers,

754
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,839
Speaker 4: with tariffs and the shutdown and all of this is

755
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 4: just an incredible situation. The President is overseas right now.

756
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 4: His rugs Japan, is Korea.

757
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,240
Speaker 2: He's going to do in Seoul.

758
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 4: He's going to talk with President she of China, and

759
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:28,760
Speaker 4: we all hope something will happen there. But the President

760
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 4: currently is Mia as we begin entering record territory for

761
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 4: the shutdown.

762
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:39,800
Speaker 2: Now here's the deal. You've got Minnesota farmers who cannot

763
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 2: sell their crops, their soybean crops, American farmers also because

764
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:49,280
Speaker 2: China has shut down all.

765
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 4: Purchases from the United States of soybeans because of the tariffs. Meanwhile,

766
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 4: President Trump has given twenty billion dollars to Argentina and

767
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 4: told Americans to buy Argentine beef, not American beef.

768
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 2: And what are we going to do about this?

769
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,720
Speaker 4: I mean, this is just a little crazy right now

770
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 4: with the shutdown, with all of that, Yeah, I mean,

771
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 4: the Senate is starting to step up somehow. Democrats and

772
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 4: Republicans are going to have to figure this out.

773
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 2: I don't know when.

774
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 4: People stop getting their paychecks, and it's already going to

775
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 4: start in days now with all of these really important places,

776
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 4: and the Democrats are saying, we're not going to negotiate

777
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 4: until we make sure we have the subsidies so people's

778
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 4: healthcare premiums don't go from eight hundred is what the

779
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 4: estimate is, eight hundred a month to nineteen hundred a month.

780
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 4: That's kind of what we're looking at right now. And

781
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 4: they're not going to budge, and Republicans won't budge til

782
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 4: it's open.

783
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 2: So nothing's going to happen until Trump says, okay, let's

784
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:57,320
Speaker 2: do something. He will not he I mean, he's he'll

785
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,879
Speaker 2: stare down that locomotive coming right at him. We had

786
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 2: I meant to save it. I thought that one of

787
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 2: the big unions nationally basically called on the Dems to cave.

788
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 2: In fact, that would be the air traffic control. Yeah,

789
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 2: it was. I thought it was a difficult whatever. I

790
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 2: don't know if that's gonna have any impact. Is there

791
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 2: any sign that there's disagreement among the Dems about how

792
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 2: they should proceed or is it still there in lockstep too,

793
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 2: saying no, we got to stand tall now.

794
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 4: Well, everybody's generally lockstep. There's a handful of Dems, just

795
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 4: like there's a handful of Republicans in the Senate who

796
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:33,359
Speaker 4: say this is crazy and we should open this up

797
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:35,959
Speaker 4: and let's just vote on what they call a quote

798
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 4: unquote clean bill. But there's no guarantee, and the Republicans

799
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,919
Speaker 4: are gun or Democrats are gun shy because so many

800
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 4: promises have been broken to them. But somebody's got to

801
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 4: do something. And a park's on both your houses for

802
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 4: not doing anything. I assume not negotiating, they're not doing anything.

803
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 2: I assume you're one of those bleeding hearts who's pretending

804
00:45:56,239 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 2: to wax nostalgic about the east side of the White House.

805
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 2: That's a disgrace.

806
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 4: I didn't I'm trying to figure out how to do

807
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 4: this diplomatically. What is happening here where President's you know,

808
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 4: you know it's I agree with President Trump that renovated

809
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 4: it before. Yeah that I agree that you maybe they

810
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 4: need a wrecking ball before quite like this. Okay, what

811
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 4: what are you talking about? They've renovated it before.

812
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,320
Speaker 2: People are saying he's not the first president to touch it.

813
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 2: Few things not he's and he's touching things up, isn't he?

814
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 4: He brings the the excavators and the wrecking ball in

815
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 4: literally in the middle of the night to start it

816
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 4: at daybreak so that nobody can stop him and nobody

817
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 4: knows what's going on. Yes, it is true that President

818
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:57,320
Speaker 4: Obama had a three hundred and fifty seven million dollar

819
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 4: renovation of the White House. It also went through at

820
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 4: least a year of hearings with Congress, and and you

821
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 4: know what it was.

822
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 2: It was plumbing. They put in new plumbing. Maybe they

823
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 2: put in those new toilets that I did. They put

824
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 2: in the putting it.

825
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 4: I mean, now they put an elector nothing you can

826
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 4: really see. He also put in a basketball court outside

827
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 4: where the where the actual where the tennis courts were,

828
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:32,800
Speaker 4: and they paid for it themselves.

829
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,399
Speaker 2: That that part of it. Trump says, this is all

830
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,359
Speaker 2: going to be uh. First he said he was going

831
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 2: to pay for it himself, and now it's going to

832
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:45,919
Speaker 2: be corporate. So in my view, what you're looking at

833
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 2: is is donors who are donating money to demolish the

834
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 2: White House with nobody asking for it and nobody approving it.

835
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:57,399
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean Trump can go ahead and do sure,

836
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 2: why not.

837
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:02,839
Speaker 4: Nobody gives an f anymore anyway, It doesn't matter. It's

838
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 4: getting of stuff and this was historic even if we

839
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 4: needed it. And I would love to know from Trump,

840
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 4: and he's a builder. I would love to have seen

841
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 4: the plans and see what he has in mind.

842
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 2: I would love it.

843
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 4: Are they still going to call it the East Wing?

844
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,240
Speaker 4: They're going to call it the ballroom? Going to Trump?

845
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 4: President Donald J.

846
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 2: Trump. Ballroom is the name that it's on it when

847
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 2: they're raising money. He's earned it. Now, who are the

848
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 2: big donors? Meta? Apple, Amazon? Google? One of the Winklevoss twins, right,

849
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 2: the wait? Is it one or both? Might be both?

850
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 4: Can you tell them apart? No, they're identical twins and

851
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 4: and it's it's pretty amazing. What a story the wink

852
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 4: Opos twins. So what they So we don't know any

853
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:48,800
Speaker 4: of this.

854
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 2: You're saying they might want something. You don't think they

855
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 2: did this out of the goodness of.

856
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:56,840
Speaker 4: Their hearts or you know if if they don't want something,

857
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 4: they don't want anything to be done to them in

858
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 4: their companies. So yeah, I think President Trump is probably right.

859
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 4: We need something here, and maybe we could make it elegant.

860
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 2: Have you seen the pictures?

861
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 4: How big it is going to be compared to it's yeah,

862
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 4: it's going to be like so far, It's going to

863
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 4: be like Sofi Stadium.

864
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:20,280
Speaker 2: It's going to be it's gonna be garish, like everything

865
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 2: else that's gonna change in the White House. I don't know.

866
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 2: I I like the ark d Trump, you know that arche.

867
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:27,840
Speaker 2: I think that. I think that's a good idea. Why not?

868
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 2: We don't have a lot of time. Probably should have

869
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 2: gotten it to it sooner. Who is Jim Nobles and

870
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 2: what's he writing about lately?

871
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 4: Jim Nobles James Nobles was for many years, fifteen years,

872
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:44,879
Speaker 4: Minnesota's independent watchdog, the legislative auditor. He's the guy who

873
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 4: goes in and ferrets out all of the bad things

874
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 4: that happened. And he claims in an editorial with The

875
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 4: Star Tribune that an op ed piece City wrote for them,

876
00:49:55,640 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 4: that he warned legislators many times about the fraud that

877
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:05,359
Speaker 4: was occurring on their watch, under their noses. And he

878
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 4: claims in this op ed that he was told, look

879
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 4: the other way, don't We're not going to make a

880
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 4: big deal out of this. We don't want to be

881
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 4: critical of this. What we want is for this, we're

882
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:19,800
Speaker 4: not going to give it public hearings. These are, in

883
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 4: my view, very very significant accusations from the former legislative auditor,

884
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 4: the watchdog. And he says not just Walls or previous

885
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 4: Democratic governors. He says Democratic legislators told him that they

886
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,880
Speaker 4: would not hold public hearings on this and and the

887
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 4: words he used, and I want to say this, SOD.

888
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 2: I read it because I had missed it. I read

889
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 2: it because you sent the note earlier, and it was

890
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 2: it was strong.

891
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 4: And he says that the Democrats felt that they were

892
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 4: touchy feely about all of this, that the reports were

893
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 4: subjecting human services programs to too much criticism, particularly programs

894
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:04,240
Speaker 4: administered by Somali Community Organization. So, I mean, he's touching

895
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 4: the nerve here, and it's shocking what he says.

896
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 2: And so thank goodness that the FEDS at least it

897
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:14,280
Speaker 2: got involved. Yeah, exactly it. By the way, it's Boston's

898
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 2: hosting Cleveland. For the record, I couldn't remember the that's

899
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 2: the early game tonight. All right, what's your next junket?

900
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 2: I mean, what's the next big trip? Do you have

901
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 2: one planned? Can you tell us or would you rather not?

902
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:24,720
Speaker 2: It's private?

903
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 4: And then the word private means private it means it's

904
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:32,880
Speaker 4: personal and you long enough to nothing as guards. He

905
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:36,360
Speaker 4: has told me more than once it costs nothing to

906
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:37,360
Speaker 4: mind your own business.

907
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 2: The cost is zero. That's pretty good. Yeah. So I

908
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,720
Speaker 2: have told you that you have my favorite lines.

909
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 4: And I was a little bit offended because I thought

910
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 4: I was being funny and then he look, whoa, that's

911
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:50,959
Speaker 4: a good line.

912
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 2: Actually, who Who's who came up? No? He came up

913
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 2: with it. No I remember, I don't remember. It's a

914
00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 2: good one. Yeah, that's a really good one.

915
00:51:59,040 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 3: Yeah.

916
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:02,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got I've got many private things, and you

917
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 2: don't come to Gopher games that try. I completely Yeah,

918
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 2: so you have turned Yeah, we're on PJ. This is

919
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 2: a great program. What are you gonna? Who do you want?

920
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:16,839
Speaker 2: What do you want to get? I'm just asking, I'm

921
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:22,840
Speaker 2: not I'm not calling for it. It was it was

922
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 2: a terrible goal, of course in Iowa. Why would I

923
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 2: know that he's in Santa Monica, you know, Yeah, well

924
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 2: that's true. I'm on the beach, so I'm gonna go

925
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 2: to Kinnick Stadium, that's me. Yeah, right, okay, fine, farm boy? Yeah,

926
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 2: why would that? Why don't be that? It makes you

927
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 2: come off as being very No, I don't mean that

928
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 2: you condescending. I thought I have been treated badly by Iowa.

929
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 2: Do you not have an agrarian bone in your body?

930
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 2: I do? I mean, come on, I do. You're right,

931
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 2: not anymore. Yeah, that's gone. You're the city slicker now,

932
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 2: aren't you. Let's go to Let's go to Vene, Let's

933
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:00,120
Speaker 2: go to freak beach, Venice Beach.

934
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 4: Well, you know, back in the day, I mean just

935
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:06,359
Speaker 4: having a bathroom in the house that was alone.

936
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:08,720
Speaker 2: No, that was the thing gets lifted.

937
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:10,960
Speaker 3: I'm trying to come up in a comparison of if

938
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 3: Trump took a bulldozer to the east wing what Kessler

939
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 3: has done to the farm boy, it's pretty much the

940
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 3: same thing.

941
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 2: Why would you say that that?

942
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 4: That hurts me too. I come, I come in here,

943
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 4: I'm open. You asked me questions and then you beat

00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 4: the hell out of me with them. I tell you

945
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:28,440

Speaker 2: It's the bumper to bumper show rap. How much time

964
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:25,360
Speaker 2: o's will wrap will follow us tonight. Don't forget Wolves

Speaker 2: Lakers on the flagship FM one hundred point three the

966
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:31,920

Speaker 2: forty tap second game of the national doubleheader Wolves Lakers

968
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 2: Tomorrow is a Salisbury day, It's a Russo day. It

969
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 2: might be a Mike Conley day. There are rumors about

970
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,719
Speaker 2: that as well. Will keep you indeed posted. Thank you

971
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 2: to Kessler and Mason for their in studio visits. Let

972
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 2: me try to do radio one oh one for people

973
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 2: who seem to not understand how it works, because I

974
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 2: have a texture for much earlier in the show, is

975
00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 2: very unhappy with our continued conversation about the decision to

976
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 2: play Carson Wentz, and I don't know how to explain

977
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:13,680
Speaker 2: this better than to say leave the radio to the professionals. Today,

978
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 2: for the first time, Carson Wentz commented on all of

979
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 2: the back and forth regarding the Vikings decision today. That

980
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:28,400
Speaker 2: still makes it relevant today when we have a former

981
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:32,719
Speaker 2: football coach head football coach on the show and it's

982
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 2: our first chance to talk with him publicly about it,

983
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,880
Speaker 2: I think it's worth getting his response to it. And

984
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 2: either way, I didn't screen it. He could have said, Dan,

985
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 2: I disagree with you totally on the Carson Wentz decision,

986
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:52,280
Speaker 2: but that's relevant we have Just because we've covered something

987
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:57,440
Speaker 2: for several days doesn't mean we're going to ignore opportunities

988
00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:01,200
Speaker 2: to advance the story by getting the opinions of others.

989
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 2: This isn't that complicated for that person. He obviously thinks

990
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 2: it's not a big deal that Wentz played, because that's

991
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:12,839
Speaker 2: the truth. When people say to me, this goes back

992
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 2: year after year, decade after decade. I'm sick of you

993
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 2: talking about this. You're not what you're sick of is

994
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 2: you don't agree with the opinion that I've advanced. Be

995
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:27,400
Speaker 2: honest and be more forthright about it, and then maybe

996
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,239
Speaker 2: I would understand the position. But it has nothing to

997
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 2: do on any subject with your covering this too much

998
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 2: because I'm covering it with different people, or I'm covering

999
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 2: it with new information, which in this case was the

1000
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 2: commentary from Carson Wentz himself that continues to make the

1001
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 2: story relevant. You may not be interested in it, interested

1002
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 2: in any longer, but I can show you the dozens

1003
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:59,920
Speaker 2: and dozens of texts from people who are still comment

1004
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:03,360
Speaker 2: on both sides of it, saying it's fine that he played,

1005
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 2: they did what they had to do, and in some cases, no,

1006
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:09,160
Speaker 2: I agree with you. This is this is exactly what

1007
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:12,319
Speaker 2: they they did the exact opposite of what they would

1008
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:15,399
Speaker 2: have done. So you know, again, I just just try

1009
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:18,400
Speaker 2: to pay attention and understand and be look in the

1010
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 2: mirror and be honest with yourself that it isn't that

1011
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 2: we're covering it more than once, which is legal. On

1012
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 2: a three and a half hour, five day a week show.

1013
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:31,919
Speaker 2: It's that you don't agree with the position taken here,

1014
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 2: which is legal but has nothing to do with whether

1015
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:40,640
Speaker 2: we are covering the whole thing too much. What I say,

1016
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:42,440
Speaker 2: vikings ex'es and o's next, is that right? That's what

1017
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 2: came on your way to target.

1018
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 3: I will not the other day, but tonight you're not

1019
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 3: planning on being there too.

1020
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 2: I was tempted, but I don't think I want to go.

1021
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 2: We got basketball practice tonight. I got to get to

1022
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 2: teeth in the glass too. It's too late. It's true

1023
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:57,120
Speaker 2: to late night, although you get the hour back this weekend.

1024
00:57:57,960 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 2: For sure. I forgot about that. It's a plan ahead.

1025
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 2: Thank you for listening, Thank you indeed for watching, and

1026
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 2: I get it. US Bank Stadium is superior to any

1027
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 2: stadium in the history of professional football. That includes, of course,

1028
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 2: Gurby's lambeau Field. The stories a stadium could tell
