1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're both both gonna get work.

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 2: Both can you get reps? And very much looking forward

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,319
Speaker 2: to our whole team getting back out there.

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 1: Hate that.

5
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 2: Excuse me, excuse me?

6
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:24,240
Speaker 3: This is your Who's Gonna Fix It?

7
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: First Leader fan Fan Radio Networks and k f a

8
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 2: N dot Com. Two minutes and eight seconds past the

9
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 2: hour three o'clock Central daylight time, we welcome you back.

10
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 2: It is the midweek edition Wednesday production of the Bumper

11
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: to Bumper program on another fairly dark, dank, moist Wednesday

12
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: afternoon here in the Twin cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul.

13
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 2: My name is Dan Barrero, host of the program, guards

14
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 2: he produces, and we have a power packed broadcast for

15
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: you today on what we like to affectionately call the

16
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 2: afternoon Artvarc. Some days were the beast, some days were

17
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 2: the ardvark.

18
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 3: I'd like to think I don't think the ardvark is

19
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 3: a very violent animal. I don't think it's one. Is

20
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 3: the art is your average ardvark aggressive? I've never heard

21
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 3: of an ardvark attack. Push them attacked by an ardvark,

22
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 3: which they got their limits is.

23
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 2: What I was told.

24
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 3: You push them too hard, they're going to defend themselves.

25
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have. I wonder if we have any ardvark

26
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: owners out there, is anyone? I hope not. How often

27
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 2: is it even legal to have the an ardvark as

28
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 2: a pet? How many of them are out there in

29
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: the United States of America.

30
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 3: I don't know if there are any ardvarks in America?

31
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 3: Is that true? Well, just other than the zoo, Yeah,

32
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 3: just googling it right now. They're mostly native to Africa,

33
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 3: it looks like, and I don't know if any have

34
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 3: made it over here. I'm sure it is zoo. Yeah,

35
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 3: I'm Me'll tell us.

36
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,839
Speaker 2: We've got some great ardvark minds out there. You know that,

37
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: We've got specialists who handle pretty much everything. Will be

38
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 2: with you until six thirty. Tonight is another distance show.

39
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: Correct should be all the way until six thirty this evening.

40
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 2: And the emotional part is Mace will be in my

41
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: Face today. He is back not in the Fargo studio

42
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 2: where he has been living and bunking up for the

43
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 2: last several weeks. He is in our studio here in

44
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 2: Saint Louis Park. Mace in My Face at four h two.

45
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: Kessler in Your Keister will be at five thirty and

46
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 2: also in studio. We think he'll be here, he's not.

47
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: He didn't go back to Italy on his own. I

48
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: don't think so. No, I don't think he did. But

49
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 2: we'll find out, uh closer, go to John from Hastings. No,

50
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 2: we did not get TIBs.

51
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: Now.

52
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 2: I now I actually feel a little better about Tibbs

53
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: ignoring us because I did happen to listen to a

54
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 2: little bit of Frank is Soola this morning, and they

55
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 2: had been in Minnesota yesterday. I think he was in

56
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 2: mil doing the show originating from Milwaukee this morning. I'll

57
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: remind me there are a couple of very funny stories

58
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: he did tell us about his time in Minnesota on

59
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 2: Sirius xm NBA channel. But I did hear him long

60
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: enough to find out that I Solo was also aware

61
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: that Tibbs was at practice yesterday when they were, you know, recording, yeah,

62
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: several interviews, and similarly, Tibbs ignored Isola. Now there is

63
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: no bigger Tibbs fan in America, including me, than Frank

64
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: I Sola. Interesting so to that extent, I guess that's

65
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: just Tibbs. He just wants to when he wants to

66
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: isolate and and leave the Jackals alone or be left alone.

67
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 2: At least he's consistent with it. So I actually felt

68
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: better about being ignored yesterday because he apparently also ignored

69
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 2: his guy, Frank I soli.

70
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 3: Okay, so whatever, I actual text you both back. Yeah,

71
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 3: we'll just keep the channel. I don't disagree. I don't

72
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 3: disagree with that.

73
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 2: You know who I think would text back our three

74
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: thirty guest hit me with this news cold. I had

75
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 2: not heard anything about it. In fact, I didn't completely

76
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 2: understand it till I read the release that you had

77
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 2: sent to me as well. You texted me that we're

78
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 2: going to have Tom Crean on the show at three thirty,

79
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: and I thought it was to announce he's got some

80
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 2: big new national sports analyst gig via FanDuel. But the devil,

81
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: well not the devil. The good part is the detail here.

82
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 2: The detail is he is going to be the Wolves

83
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 2: specialist pregame and post game half the time on the

84
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: Minnesota Timberwolves FanDuel TV broadcast. Now, I think sharing the

85
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 2: games some I think fifty to fifty or close to

86
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,119
Speaker 2: it with Rebecca Brunts.

87
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 3: So we did him last year a lot, right, Yeah,

88
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 3: she's done it the last couple of years. I so

89
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:22,119
Speaker 3: Crean goes local with us, how much of a cut

90
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 3: do you think we deserve.

91
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: Any you think he do? You think he might throw

92
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 2: us a ball? Because this is really big time, I

93
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: believe for a local team to have Tom Crean, I mean,

94
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: this is not small time. Not forget whether he's been

95
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: on with us and has established a relationship with us.

96
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 2: This is a guy worthy of national for sure analysis

97
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 2: when it comes to basketball. And the fact that the

98
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 2: local team was able to assign him somehow someway. Well,

99
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 2: I shouldn't say the local team in conjunction with FanDuel.

100
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: That is a big If you're a basketball fan, you

101
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 2: should be delighted. You should exactly right. I mean, this

102
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 2: gives that whole broadcast much greater credit ability.

103
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 3: As far as I'm concerned, I don't know if there's

104
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 3: a better local broadcast in the entire NBA. It was

105
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 3: already good, right with Grady and Horton and Jim Pete

106
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 3: and Marns obviously, and then you add to that Tom Crean.

107
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 2: Are you nuts? Are you nuts? Yeah? I had to.

108
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 3: I had to read the release like four times because

109
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,119
Speaker 3: that's very good.

110
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 2: I mean, again, if we do when we do shows

111
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 2: from the cage. I'm assuming it might be easy to

112
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 2: get him over there with us, because I've already got

113
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 2: a long standing relationship. So I fired up looking forward

114
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: to three point thirty of looking forward to maybe even

115
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 2: having him on more often than we had before. And

116
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: the guy this shocked me. I gotta admit, I gotta.

117
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 2: I gotta give credit where credit is due. You know,

118
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 2: the first person who reached out to me to text

119
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 2: me to congratulate us regarding this particular breaking news that

120
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 2: you passed along, who's that kevin fulness that is? That's

121
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 2: not magnanimous. You know, Paulness is a hockey guy. Yeah,

122
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: but that's how generous he can be. He's excited he

123
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 2: should about the Tom Crean addition. So you know, I gotta.

124
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 2: I'm hard on Fallness sometimes, but in this case, I

125
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: think I gotta give him his due. I mean, that's

126
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 2: that's rising above all the fraternal nonsense that takes place

127
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: back and forth, thing about you right, stripping me of

128
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 2: the ambassadorship, all of that stuff. It's pretty good anyway.

129
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 2: We're happy.

130
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 3: We're very pleased for Fallness and very pleased for basketball fans.

131
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 2: Are the winner. In Minnesota. In my opinion, for sure,

132
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 2: who is going to fix it? First?

133
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 3: Guardsy, what needs to be fixed? There's so many things,

134
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 3: you know, what needs to be fixed?

135
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 2: What's that in the.

136
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 3: Case of both your Golden Golphers and your Minnesota Vikings

137
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 3: stopping the run?

138
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 2: Stopping the run?

139
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: That was good?

140
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 2: Guess by me, honest to God? What is going on here?

141
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 2: Whatever happened to good old fashioned meat and potatoes football?

142
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 2: Defensive football? Here are your pertinent Nuggets. The Vikings currently

143
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 2: rank twenty third in the league when it comes to

144
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 2: stopping the run, allowing four point five yards per carry.

145
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: That's ridiculous. It's a little frustrating. We are reminded by

146
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 2: Andrew Kramer that the club ranked eighth in run defense

147
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three and fourth last year. We're nowhere

148
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 2: near as good. Vikings ten point two missed tackles per

149
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 2: game are up almost two and a half tackles from

150
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: a year ago. Ivan Pace Junior used to love the guy.

151
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 2: He leaves the club with ten missed tackles. He only

152
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 2: missed twelve in twelve games last season. So we've even

153
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 2: had I think it's been several weeks where I've gotten

154
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 2: quotes read quotes from b flow. We got to worry

155
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 2: about the un sexy stuff. We keep hearing that, but

156
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 2: we don't seem to be doing anything about it to

157
00:08:54,880 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: this point. Meanwhile, your club, Golden Gophers fifty eight missed

158
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 2: tackles when they started playing against Power four teams. That

159
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 2: was September thirteen in count That's an average of fourteen

160
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: and a half miss tackles a game. According to Randy

161
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 2: Johnson's Start Tribune, Minnesota is allowing an average of one

162
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy four point seven yards rushing per game

163
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 2: in Big Ten play. That's sixteenth out of eighteen in

164
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 2: the conference. So I'll throw the question to you, which

165
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 2: team will fix it first? Which team has a better

166
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 2: chance to fix it first? In fact, wasn't Purdue like

167
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 2: A didn't They didn't. The Boilermakers go into that last game,

168
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: one of the worst running teams in football, and they

169
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 2: at what they end up with four hundred yards rushing.

170
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 2: It was like Gophers.

171
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 3: Against Michigan, the game they blew right around Halloween. So

172
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 3: you tell me who is more likely which team is

173
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 3: more likely to fix it first? I think the Vikings

174
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 3: because Blake Cashman's coming back right, we think he talked yesterday.

175
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 3: I want to say, I think the Vikings are getting

176
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 3: their reinforcements back, so I'm more apt to say that

177
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 3: they are more likely to fix the first now you

178
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 3: read my mind, because they can at least get guys back.

179
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 3: Suggest or pretend that it's all about the guys missing.

180
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 2: We may find out it's bigger than that. It may

181
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 2: be more about the line of scrimmage and who he

182
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 2: traded away. But those are legitimate run stoppers, especially Cashman

183
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 2: that the Vikings have been missing. I don't think the

184
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 2: Gophers have any significant injuries in his front seven or

185
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 2: eight mic not there.

186
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 3: The quote that Cashman said, though, applies to the Gophers,

187
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 3: where he talked about we're not doing a good enough job,

188
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 3: just kind of tackling in the spot.

189
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 2: I think he called it leakage or leaking yards.

190
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 3: What should be a three yard run turned into a

191
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 3: seven or eight yard run. You're in the meat grinder.

192
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 3: That's one hundred percent ago for issue. It certainly was

193
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 3: against Purdue where you've got a guy there and you

194
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 3: hit him and he drags you forward for four or

195
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 3: five yards.

196
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 2: All of that stuff adds up. There's no question at

197
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 2: this stuff adds up, and it still matters even in

198
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 2: a passing league, whether that if you want to call

199
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 2: the Big Tenne passing league or not. Certainly the NFL

200
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 2: has become a passing league, although I think a little

201
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 2: less so last I think, yeah, we're seeing a little

202
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 2: bit more of a trend back to back to the running,

203
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 2: at least a little greater balance. And you cannot give

204
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 2: up these kinds of yards because the Vikings have given

205
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 2: um up against forgettable running backs and very good running backs. Right,

206
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 2: does not seem to matter thus far.

207
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 3: The fan and two men and a junk truck want

208
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 3: to give you a shot at our Bonus Bucks contest.

212
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 2: John from Plymouth, are they not coaching wrap up tackles anymore?

213
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 2: Too many guys are trying to just knock a runner

214
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 2: down with a hit. My two cents drives me insane.

215
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 2: That's John the Olympian from Plymouth. Well, some people think

216
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: they offer that theory. Others say too many defensive players

217
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 2: get obsessed with, you know, the the the pet out effect,

218
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 2: punching the ball out. It's such a it's it's so

219
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 2: widely celebrated. It may be a combination of all of

220
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 2: those things. I don't know. Uh, seven to one to five,

221
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 2: guy Dan, it's the hairy, the horrible effect. Trading him

222
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 2: to the Jets gave us no depth on the offensive

223
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 2: defensive line. Yes, we've been better the last couple of

224
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 2: years stopping the run. Well, we're gonna find out this week,

225
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 2: is I you damn well sure the Eagles are going

226
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 2: to try to figure that out again because they need to.

227
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 2: They need something. While native to Africa, at ardvarks can

228
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 2: be found in some zoos across the United States. They're

229
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 2: only about a dozen ardvarks in US zoos accredited by

230
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 2: the Associate Association of Zoos and Aquariums, making them an

231
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 2: uncommon site. That would seem to indicate if someone has

232
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 2: a pet ardvark, that would be illegal and unlikely. But

233
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 2: there's people out there who are weird about animals. I

234
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 2: assume there's is there a black market for ardvarks. I'm

235
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 2: sure there is animals, Yeah, no question. Speaking of ardvarks,

236
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,359
Speaker 2: in the nineteen seventies, there was a kids show called Wonderama,

237
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 2: which prominently featured the song Does anybody here have an Ardvark?

238
00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: I do have.

239
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 2: No, that's from Leicester. I have no recollect of that program,

240
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 2: do you, of course it's a little before your time. No,

241
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 2: I do not. Does anybody here have an Ardvark? Huh?

242
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 2: I wonder as he named it as Wonderama. I don't

243
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 2: remember that. I wonder what network that show was on.

244
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 2: Coming up at the bottom of the hour, Tom Crean

245
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 2: will join and Kessler at five point thirty, and in

246
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 2: between Mace in your Face allegedly expected in studio. So

247
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 2: I mentioned I Sola who I was.

248
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 3: I was having some fun with it yesterday about when

249
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 3: he get back to me, which he ultimately did.

250
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 2: He did not ignore us, but I found out why

251
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 2: he was so difficult to get a hold of yesterday.

252
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 2: I don't think it was because there was any bad

253
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 2: blood or necessarily that I'm dead to him. But as

254
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: you know, he is the emergency backup post on pardon

255
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 2: the interruption sometimes that's right. So, as he was telling

256
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 2: the story this morning, he's in Minnie. He's in Minnesota. Well,

257
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 2: sorry for those who you know Minnesotan's who are out

258
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 2: of state. It was Minneapolis. In this I'm not trying

259
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 2: to offend anybody, And he gets the call at like noon,

260
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 2: we need you to tape. Pardon the interruption today, he said. Usually,

261
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 2: because he's a planner, he brings along just in case

262
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 2: a coat, a sport coat, and a shirt like a

263
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 2: you know, a button down shirt. But he didn't have either,

264
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 2: so he furiously tried to basically navigate the skyway system,

265
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 2: oh boy, to find a department store that would sell

266
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 2: them a suit coat or even a sport coat and

267
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 2: a dressier shirt. And he said, I couldn't find any

268
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,359
Speaker 2: stores that even existed anymore, which is, of course, relatively

269
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 2: speaking true compared to what it once was. He guessed

270
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 2: where he ended up finding a suitable at least for

271
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 2: that day, sport coat and dress shirt. He's in downtown Minneapolis. Correct.

272
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say the Target on Nickel it you nail,

273
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 2: very good y.

274
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 3: See that he's sound scouts. You're not gonna believe we're

275
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 3: ended up Target. It's right there for you.

276
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 2: He said, it was great. He said the shirt actually

277
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 2: didn't fit him, but he said it was close enough

278
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 2: where you weren't gonna notice. Because he's sitting down. Yep,

279
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 2: but yeah, because we have so what is left? Are

280
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 2: there any department stores left in downtown Minneapols. I'm sure

281
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 2: there are. I don't know off the top of my head.

282
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 2: People that live down there can probably let us know.

283
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 2: I'm sure we have a couple Macy's. I think that's

284
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 2: he's still there. How does he go to find Macy's.

285
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 2: He probably didn't look too.

286
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 3: I didn't look to the skyways and they probably don't

287
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 3: know exactly how it all works. Well, I'd probably saved

288
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 3: himself some money anyway, right, Absolutely go to Target. The

289
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 3: shirt and I get the most compliments on Now, again,

290
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 3: that's a low bar because like I wore like a

291
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 3: flannel shirt to Gopher practice.

292
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 2: Is really like one of those fashionable flannel I.

293
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 3: Don't know if it's fashionable or not, but it's it

294
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 3: just didn't have a logo on it. Right, Because my

295
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 3: wardrobe basically consists of logoed polos, hoodies, zip ups. Today

296
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 3: I'm wearing a Minnetonka under armor like thermal shirt type thing.

297
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 3: And you wouldn't believe the comments I got from like

298
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 3: the Gopher coaching staff because it was so out of

299
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 3: character for me. To not be wearing like just a

300
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 3: sweatshirt that says KFA N or something that fancy. They're

301
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 3: not either. That's the bit. That's why I had to

302
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 3: fight back a little bit, like these are the guys

303
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 3: that are gonna hirt me about my wardrobe. But the

304
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,719
Speaker 3: number one shirt that I get compliments where people say

305
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 3: I really like that Walmart nine to Florida Walmart.

306
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 2: Because I had to go.

307
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 3: I was going to Mace's Buddies plays Flemings and I

308
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 3: needed a nice shirt, didn't really have one. Went to

309
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 3: Walmart nine ninety nine, a little Ben Hogan polo and

310
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,080

355
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,760

356
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 3: this point as well.

357
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 2: Are the most famous ardvark in the world. Arthur the

358
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 2: Ardvark resides in Elmwood City, Pennsylvania, so sadly he is

359
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 2: likely an Eagles fan. Now, is that in a zoo

360
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 2: in Elmwood City, Pennsylvania or is there some other place

361
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 2: that the that Arthur the Ardvark is located.

362
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 3: Well, I would assume it's zoo. I don't think Arthur's

363
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 3: got like his own place. I'm just one what the

364
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 3: rules are, Yeah, have no idea Pennsylvania's different.

365
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, they as well. How many Eagles fans do you

366
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 2: think will be in the crowd on Sun Too many? Yeah,

367
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 2: but there will be a lot. And you know it's sad.

368
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 2: We'll welcome them, I know, like we did. We're more civilized,

369
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 2: like we did to the super Bowl that year. I

370
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 2: just hope I don't want any of those fights like

371
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,959
Speaker 2: the one I saw what Commanders versus Bears that was awful,

372
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 2: not involving players, that was right in the crowd. All right,

373
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 2: let's just stay on time, come back and chat with

374
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 2: Tom Crean new Wolves analysts. You can't make it up, man.

375
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 2: I'm glad we invested in him because now starting at

376
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 2: three point thirty, maybe it'll pay off. Great news on

377
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 2: our guy Tom Crean and his connection now not just

378
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 2: with Anthony Edwards, but with the coverage on Minnesota Timberwolves

379
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 2: TV broadcasts. All of that from our guy Tom Creane.

380
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 3: Well, you know this show, we're always very understated and

381
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 3: what's the what's the word for itself deprecating to a fault.

382
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 2: Never would we brag about. And then the Wolves figured

383
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 2: out Tom Green's a hell of an analyst. I wonder how

384
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 2: they figured that out and we would never ever go

385
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 2: down that road that they finally caught up with us.

386
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 2: But we're glad to be joined with that big announcement

387
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,560

Speaker 3: we appreciate all the time you have given us.

397
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 2: So we're obviously having some fun. But tell me how

398
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 2: this came together. We should remind folks who don't know

399
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 2: that the Fan Duel announced today that Tom will be

400
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,959
Speaker 2: a pregame and postgame doing analysis on a number of

401
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 2: Timberwolves games for the upcoming regular season, which is now

402
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 2: right around the corner. So how did this thing come together?

403
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 2: How recent is it and then? And how do you

404
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:55,239
Speaker 2: feel about it?

405
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: I think it's about nine ten days old, to be

406
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: honest with, you came up last week and it came

407
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,719
Speaker 1: up from my agent. I have an agent named Nick

408
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: Lapinto who's with Sandy Montag of the Montag Group, and

409
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 1: he had he had relationships with a gentleman named Larry Holme. Now, UH,

410
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: the whole situation is a lot of the people that

411
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: are at FanDuel now had been at ESPN, and UH,

412
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: I know some of those people, and certainly I knew

413
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 1: a lot of the names, Like uh is really running

414
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: the show now at FanDuel. But long story short, I

415
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: got a call last week from Nick and said that

416
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: he had he had brought it up to Larry Holme

417
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 1: and and other gentleman to see if they would have

418
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: interest in me being a part of it, and then

419
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: he would check to see if I did. And I said,

420
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: absolutely I would because you know right now I have

421
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: I have a contract with ESPN. I have one with

422
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: NBC UH, which is relatively new this year, even though

423
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: I did a couple of games with them last year

424
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: and then I did a lot, especially during the tournament

425
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: for Westwood One. So to get an opportunity to do

426
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: the NBA, to get an opportunity to with a team

427
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: that I watch every night and have great respect for,

428
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: and obviously with Anthony Ayer and the respect level and

429
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: love for him. I mean, to me, it was a

430
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: no brainer if that's what they wanted to do, and

431
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: they did, and it all got done on Monday, and

432
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: we had some talks about it yesterday and all of

433
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: a sudden, there's the release. So it's really really really fast.

434
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 2: That's outstanding.

435
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: I'm excited about it.

436
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,239
Speaker 2: And I said this. I'm not just sayings because you're

437
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 2: on the air. I said it earlier and I mean it.

438
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 3: I think when a team, when a single team in

439
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 3: the NBA can get somebody worthy of national stature because

440
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 3: I think you're that good at doing this stuff, that's

441
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 3: great for not just the team, but I think the fans, right,

442
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 3: the basketball fans who follow this thing. I think it's

443
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 3: such a win win for everybody. So I'm happy that

444
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 3: that worked out.

445
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 2: And selfishly, it is even better for us because the

446
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 2: really relationship we've already been able to, uh to establish.

447
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 2: So give me a little sense of are you going

448
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 2: to be here for some games study other studio? How's

449
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 2: that gonna work in terms of your location?

450
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,239
Speaker 1: You will, Yet the majority of it, I think the

451
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: majority of it is going to be uh virtual, It's

452
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: going to be at home wherever I'm at, and so

453
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 1: basically it's going to be home. I will be in

454
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: Minneapolis early, uh during the season, and I won't have

455
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: the first game with the Pacers, but then I'll be

456
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,479
Speaker 1: in there when they have that home stand. So I

457
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: will actually be in Minnesota nice, which is going to

458
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: be great. And I'm sure there'll there'll probably be some

459
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: other trips like that during the year, uh, but but

460
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: most of it will be where I'll be set up.

461
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: In fact, my wife is all excited that he's wanted

462
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: me to get a set up at home, and now

463
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna perfect. We're gonna end up doing that where

464
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: I have that set up right in here, and there

465
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: will obviously be some you know, I could be traveling

466
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: where I'm sure you know, doing a game somewhere the

467
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: next stay or you know that type of stuff. It's

468
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: just to me, and I've said this to anybody that

469
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: ever acquired with me or to my agents, I just

470
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 1: really want to work. You know, when you used to

471
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: work in three hundred and fifty five to three hundred

472
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: and sixty days a year, and even when you're not working,

473
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: you're not really shutting it off. I mean it's really

474
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: really hard to get used to that, and I never

475
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: wanted to get used to that. So the more opportunities

476
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 1: that I have that I can be doing things, you know,

477
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: whether it's home, whether it's travel, and it's certainly something

478
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: as important as the NBA and the Minnesota Timberwolves and

479
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: that whole that whole program. I mean, it's just I'm

480
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: excited about it.

481
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 2: That's upstanding.

482
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: It'll be fun. But I'm looking forward to geting to

483
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: Minnesota in a few weeks.

484
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 2: So yeah, we'll try and we'll see if we can

485
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 2: arrange a dinner or to meet in person. That'd be

486
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 2: great to do at some point as well. So are

487
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 2: you basically splitting the games with Rebecca Brunson?

488
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 3: Then are you?

489
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 2: Is it like forty one forty one or is a

490
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 2: little more unofficial than that or do you know yet?

491
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: Well, I think the majority of it is going to

492
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: be the home games, Okay, I got just a different

493
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: format for the road game now I say that, and

494
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: I'm not one percent certain on that, you know, but

495
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: but I think, uh, and then I don't think it

496
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: includes if it's an NBC gamey, But but I think

497
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: that that is the plan on the split and hopefully

498
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: you know my schedule. Uh, it's it's not always set

499
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: is quick. You know, with studio games get set fairly quick,

500
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: but studio times are not always set as quick, so

501
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 1: there'll be some adjustments we'll have to make. But uh,

502
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to it. I mean I've watched

503
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: all their exhibitions already. I mean certainly saw everything last year,

504
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 1: and it's just it's it's fun to to pay attention

505
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: to it. And I'm so excited about what he's doing

506
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 1: and how he's improved this summer and the work that

507
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: he's put in. And I love hearing you know what

508
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 1: the players are saying about him. You know, Na's reed

509
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: talking about his maturity level and and and how it's different.

510
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: And I know the work that Anthony put in with

511
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: the conditioning. You know, we talked about this before, I

512
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: mean right away. I mean it wasn't he was training

513
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 1: and stadium steps and things like that less than two

514
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: weeks after the season ended last year. This past season, sure,

515
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: and I know he's excited about the mid post. I

516
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: know he's excited about developing more contact. He's got to

517
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: get filed more. I've heard Chris Finch say that today

518
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 1: on a show on NBA Radio with Frank and Ryan Calabrini.

519
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: You know that it's important for him to have some

520
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 1: shots that he can go to, that he can get

521
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: in pressure situations, that he can get filed. And I

522
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: think he's listened loud and clear to that, and I

523
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: think he's put a lot of work into that.

524
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,479
Speaker 2: All right, let's stay with Anthony for a second, now

525
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 2: that you've brought him up. I want to cover a

526
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 2: lot of ground if we can. But let's start there

527
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 2: or continue there. You know, Trent Tucker, I think, or

528
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 2: you certainly know of him, and I heard him again

529
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 2: the other day says is it we're all trying to

530
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 2: figure out, Okay, what is the next step? How do

531
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 2: you get Edwards to the next place? How does the

532
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 2: team collectively get to that next spot. As good as

533
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 2: it's been the last couple of years, you want more,

534
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, at least maintain and get a

535
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 2: little bit better. It's his opinion, double T's opinion that

536
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 2: if the Wolves want to get more out of Edwards offensively,

537
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 2: they actually have to take the ball out of his

538
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 2: hands more than they have. That he needs to play

539
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 2: off the ball more even if you want to do

540
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 2: stuff Anthony talked about, I want. I'm working on posting

541
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 2: up a lah Kobe, a lah Michael turnaround jump shot baseline,

542
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. Tucker thinks. To make this work,

543
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 2: you actually have to take the He can't have the

544
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 2: ball with all the responsibilities that come with doing both

545
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 2: as much as he's had with this team. Do you

546
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 2: agree you think it's more complicated than that. What do

547
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 2: you think?

548
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: I think it's a combination. And I do agree. And

549
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: because and I've said this on your show many times,

550
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: he's at his best and you saw this a lot

551
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: last year. He could make threes off the dribble, but

552
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: he also shot a ton of catch and shoot threes,

553
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: which was really really important. He's got to move more

554
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: without the basketball. And there are times, and I loved

555
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: pointing these things out to him. You know, every chance

556
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: that you watch the game and say, man, if you

557
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: caught that ball on the break and you just attack

558
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: the rim, or you ran a little bit harder on

559
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: the wing and they threw it to you, you were

560
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: going to have a dunk. Like he's going to score more,

561
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: and he's going to score efficiently when the defense has

562
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: got to chase him and react to him, not when

563
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: they can proactively get set to guarding. And too many

564
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: times the defenses are built around him with the ball,

565
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: and I think he can take advantage. And I think

566
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: Chris understands this. I think, you know, just listening to

567
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: some of the interviews, I think Anthony understands this. I

568
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: think you're going to see ways for him to dribble

569
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: into ISOs. You're going to see ways for him to

570
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: attack the wing. You know, the last thing that team

571
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: needs to do right now is be heavy ISO early. Right.

572
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: They don't need that, you know, they need to get

573
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: that movement. But I think we go back to the

574
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City series, which said a lot about that series

575
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: to me, said a lot about where Anthony's got to

576
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: get better. He's got to move better without the ball.

577
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 1: He's got to get the cutting game going even better.

578
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: He's got to use the baseline more. And what I'm

579
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: seeing early with him right now is he's got to

580
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: be more definitive when he doesn't get the shot okay,

581
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: and it's early like okay, am I going to the

582
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: glass or am I getting back? He's still infer inched

583
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: one of the best rebounders that I've ever coached, even

584
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: and and and and could be phenomenal. Now it comes

585
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: down to what what do they want to do in Minnesota.

586
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: What are their expectations for him with the glass or

587
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: with transition. But right now, he's got to get himself

588
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: into a place where like, Okay, I'm either back and

589
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: I'm taking this away or I'm sprinting through and trying

590
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: to get an offensive board. And I think him being

591
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: in a movement mindset, not a waiting for the ball

592
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: or happen to have the ball mindset. That's that's the

593
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: part that I would add to what Trent said. There's

594
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: too many times he's waiting for the ball rather than

595
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: be proactively cutting, moving and looking for openings. And I

596
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: think he'll mature into that this year. I really do.

597
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 2: Those are great points. Tom Creane kind of enough to

598
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 2: join us. He's going to be doing plenty of TV

599
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 2: analysis on the Wolves this upcoming season, as was just

600
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 2: announced earlier today on FanDuel. You know, there's been a

601
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 2: lot of talk throughout training camp about the team wanting

602
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 2: to run more. This is a team that did not

603
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 2: run very much last year. In fact, I think the

604
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 2: new rule is you can't have, you know, the too often.

605
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 2: Last year when they looked at tape, it was we

606
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 2: had two guys running back for the ball in the

607
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 2: back court, and they're trying to wean themselves off those

608
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 2: the players out of those habits. Everybody wants to run more,

609
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 2: I think, Tom, but it's sometimes it's easier said than

610
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 2: done in your experience and knowing the personnel on this team,

611
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 2: because not everybody is built. You could say, for a

612
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 2: running game, how do you make that work? How do

613
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 2: you think this team could make that work?

614
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: Got to be thrown ahead? I mean, it sounds simple.

615
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: It's not that the Pacers. The Pacers showed that the

616
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: Pacers were far and away the best team running because

617
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: they were the best team of throwing the ball ahead,

618
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: especially when that heart had it. And I think when

619
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: you watch Anthony and I watch it this way a lot,

620
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: like when he gets out and runs and if they

621
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: give him the ball, like that's a place where he

622
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: can do something against an unset defense, against a rotating defender.

623
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: And then because he can pass and see so well,

624
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: if the rotations are there and they get down into

625
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: the lane area to cut him up while he can

626
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: make the kickout, and I think running is hard. I

627
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: think it's very very easy in this day and age

628
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: that think you're not going to get the ball on

629
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: the throw ahead, and especially when you have numerous guys

630
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: that can bring the ball up. And I just think

631
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: if they emphasize they don't have to be the pacers

632
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: with the throw ahead, but they've got to be more

633
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,719
Speaker 1: so than what they've been. And I think when the

634
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: ball is thrown ahead, that is where the encouragement for

635
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: the player. They get that initiative like Okay, if I run,

636
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: something's going to happen. And I think that's I think

637
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: the interesting things with this team is I think the

638
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: Vincenzo is going to have a fantastic year. And I

639
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 1: don't know him obviously, I don't know him personally like that,

640
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: but I follow him and I think you put him

641
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: in there now for that second full year in their

642
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: understanding the system. You know, obviously he got traded the

643
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 1: night before the season or whatever it was last year.

644
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: I think he can do so many things for that offense.

645
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:27,919
Speaker 1: And I'm going to go back to what I said

646
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 1: after the draft. I think they're going to do a

647
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: great job and you can see it already. You can

648
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 1: see it coming even in the exhibitions. They've already done

649
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: a good job of making Baron Jay better. Right, He's

650
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: not ready. I'm not saying he's ready today, but he's

651
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: getting better. And I think when you have a player

652
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 1: that's exploded on the scene the way he has in

653
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 1: the last four or five years and really didn't play basketball,

654
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: so everything is so new for him. And from everything

655
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 1: that I've ever heard, he's a great guy, a very

656
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 1: very respectful guy, family guy, you know, sponge of learning,

657
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 1: and when you watch him play, you can see some

658
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: of that stuff coming out. And I think eventually, I

659
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: heard Chris say this in that interview, that they've got

660
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 1: to figure out how they're going to play more defensively

661
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: than Rudy's not on the floors. Well, I think as

662
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: this season goes on, Baron Jay is going to be

663
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: a part of that. And then the other guy that

664
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 1: I think looks like he's really figuring out how he

665
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: can help the Wolves early is Shannon Tarn. Shannon, I

666
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: think the corner threes, the way he gets to the glass,

667
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: the way he runs, I think if people are patient,

668
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: those guys are just going to keep getting better and better,

669
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: and I think the Vincenzo is gonna have a great year.

670
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 2: You know, you've been very honest with us last year.

671
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 2: Going back, I think it may have been the post

672
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 2: mortem after they were eliminated about Dillingham and whether he

673
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 2: is ready to make a significant step this year. And

674
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 2: I'll be honest again, I know he had a huge

675
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 2: game live. I think it was last night, although again

676
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 2: it was not against their best competition. I don't yet.

677
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 2: I loved them getting him. I love their aggressiveness and

678
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 2: getting him. I'm not giving up on him, but I'm

679
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 2: not ready to say that he's on the verge of

680
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 2: making a big jump. What's your view on him, because

681
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 2: you know, there's a lot of young guys in this group.

682
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,280
Speaker 2: Some of them are going to have to start playing

683
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 2: right because of some losses. But where he fits in yet,

684
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 2: I still I'm still not sure he gets how to

685
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 2: try to control an offense, how to go about his

686
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 2: job as gifted as he can be offensively.

687
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: I'm with you. He is better, though, He's definitely better.

688
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: You can see it even in these exhibitions. He looks

689
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 1: a little stronger. I think a guy like that is

690
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 1: so used to having the ball in his hands. He's

691
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: so used to doing whatever he wanted to do and

692
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 1: he's effective that you don't want to take his initiative away,

693
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: but you don't want to put him in a situation

694
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: that he's got to do too much. Like right now,

695
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 1: he's not a great help defender, right, he doesn't understand

696
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 1: all of that yet. But like if you give him

697
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: one job and say, okay, we're going to deny this

698
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 1: guy the ball, all right, we're gonna deny him. We're

699
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: gonna make his catches hard. A young player can do that,

700
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: you know, while he's learning day in and day out.

701
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 1: Then you don't get isoated as much, and then you

702
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: don't get put in those screening situations where people are

703
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 1: just trying to attack and tag you. I think the

704
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: biggest thing to me, okay, watching him and watching him

705
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: since he was a tenth grader in high school, is

706
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: he does not see the floor the way that he

707
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: needs to. He misses too many He sees the rim, yeh,

708
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: but he doesn't always see the floor, And I think

709
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 1: there's a big, big difference. You know, Anthony was like

710
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: that in a lot of ways. Anthony really saw the

711
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: rim because but he could attack it, but when you

712
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 1: force somebody we only I haven't had him a year obviously,

713
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: and we worked hard at it, but he's gotten so

714
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: much better at it while he's been in The pros

715
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,399
Speaker 1: is that you've got to teach somebody to really see

716
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: the floor. They got to see the weak side of

717
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: the floor, the other side of the floor were when

718
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: they're on the side, And like there's numerous times that

719
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 1: Dillingham recognizes where the help is too late, especially and

720
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 1: some of that maturity, but some of that is you're

721
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: looking for your shot rather than looking for where the

722
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: opening and looking for what the game is giving you.

723
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: But they are doing a good job with him. I

724
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: just think he's got to continue to understand, like Chris

725
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,800
Speaker 1: made a point about Anthony wants to hit home runs

726
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,399
Speaker 1: and he needs to hit more doubles and singles. There's

727
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. I think Dillingham needs to understand

728
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: I can be way better if I'm hitting singles than

729
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: an occasional double, and that will help me with this team.

730
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: And then I think he gets confidence, and then I

731
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,720
Speaker 1: think he gives the coaches confidence. But he is getting better.

732
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,280
Speaker 1: He's way better defensively than what he was in college.

733
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,760
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. He's definitely stronger. He's always

734
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 1: been slight but quick. But I think that vision Dan,

735
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: I think the vision part of it and seeing the

736
00:38:56,560 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: floor is the next big step to him offensively.

737
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:05,839
Speaker 2: How well do you know Finchy and regardless what what

738
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 2: are your impressions of him? What? What stands out to

739
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 2: the in terms.

740
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: Of what I don't know him. I don't know him

741
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 1: really at all. We've exchanged some texts. But I'm thankful

742
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 1: because I know that he he cleared this right like

743
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: they uh, he was good with this with me coming

744
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 1: in there, you know, which was good because this all

745
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: moved so fast. And they told me that, So I

746
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: felt really good about that. And and I think he's outstanding,

747
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I really do. I mean, I think he's

748
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: He's got a presence. I think he built the relationship

749
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 1: with Anthony to where there were some hard days early on,

750
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: especially and and and and it was all weathered and

751
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: and and and Anthony understood that that he had his

752
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 1: best interests in mind and what he was pushing him on,

753
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 1: and and that he wanted him to be really successful,

754
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: and that he knew there was greatness in him. Say

755
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: that's that's the whole key with young players. They they'll

756
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 1: take it if if they really believe that you see

757
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,280
Speaker 1: that greatness that they need to have. Now, the selfish

758
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: ones and the ones that are in college that are

759
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: about the money and about the numbers and all those

760
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: things they have, those guys are tough to coach. And

761
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: if a guy really believes that you see greatness in them,

762
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: and I think that's exactly what Chris Finch has gotten

763
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: across to Anthony, then you have it. You build a

764
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: really really good relationship. And a really good relationship is

765
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: not agreeing on everything. A really good relationship is not

766
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 1: being happy every day. A really good relationship is where

767
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 1: you're being driven to be as good as you can

768
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: possibly be. And I think Chris does that. From my

769
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 1: judgments of talking to Anthony and from watching from the

770
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: distance and I'm watching it, I see that. I think

771
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 1: that team is getting better. I think it's a really

772
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 1: good staff. I think the fact that he's got that

773
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: continuity on the staff, the fact that he kept Pablo

774
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: on that staff when the Knicks wanted them, Like, there's

775
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: a lot of good things happening in Minnesota and with

776
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: the coaching, and then he lets like Chris Hines, Chris

777
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 1: Hines and Anthony have a great relationship. Well, he allows

778
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: that to happen, but at the same time, Anthony knows

779
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 1: Chris as the head coach. So those are the things.

780
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 1: I think he's got great schemes. He's got, he's got

781
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:19,399
Speaker 1: he's an open minded guy. He's got tremendous experiences, and

782
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 1: when you've come up the hard way in basketball like

783
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: he has, you don't take any for any of it

784
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 1: for granted. And I don't look at him and think

785
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: he's ever taken any of the successes they have in

786
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: Minnesota for granted one bit. And I think we'll see

787
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: that this year. I think he's he's he will drive

788
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: you to be better. You know, he does not accept

789
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: bs and he does not accept Lackaday's goal effort, and

790
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: he coaches you through it. But he also understands how

791
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 1: to deal with people.

792
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 2: Two last items. A listener who's paying attention had a

793
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 2: Dillingham question the basis of what we were talking about.

794
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 2: He writes this, Dillingham will never be a pure point guard.

795
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,720
Speaker 2: He's better off being a scorer off the bench, similar

796
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 2: to your Crawford in the short term. Could he be

797
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 2: Could he be a ten minute a game voltage guy

798
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 2: who you just say, go score or is that unrealistic

799
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 2: the way the game is played today.

800
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think. I don't think i'd put that

801
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: in his head. I really don't. I think the scoring.

802
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: I like the idea, and I understand what that man's saying,

803
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: but I don't think that's what he needs. You know,

804
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: he's not j R. Smith, that's what That's how the

805
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: Nuggets did such a great job back in the day

806
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 1: with George carl when they put j R. Smith in there,

807
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 1: and he changed the dynamic of the game with his scoring. See.

808
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,879
Speaker 1: I think Dillingham can change the dynamic of the game

809
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 1: with his speed. I think he can change it with

810
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: picking the ball up full court. I think he can

811
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: change it with with with trying to deny people. I

812
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: think he can change the tempo of the game and

813
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: his scoring will be a part of it. But he's

814
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: got to be a distributor because the first time that

815
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 1: it's all about him scoring the ball, and you've got

816
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 1: Terren Shannon open, or let's say Aunt is in there,

817
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: Let's say Naz is open for a three, that is

818
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: not going to fly. I think the most important thing

819
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 1: for Dillingham is to continue to learn and understand the

820
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: game and learn that his scoring and his shooting come

821
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: from the flow of the game, not just because he's

822
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: wired to be a score if that makes sense, and

823
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: then I think he'll score more points. It's really a

824
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: lot of the maturation of Anthony. You know, the more

825
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: Anthony passed the ball, the more Anthony moved the ball,

826
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: the better Anthony shot selection became, the more it came

827
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: back to him, and now he can do numerous things right.

828
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 1: And they're different players, but every young player goes through

829
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: that process and it's the ones that understand it the

830
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 1: best that if the other guys are impacted, that is

831
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: going to impact me. And I just think because of

832
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: his body, they've got to find some different ways to

833
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: get the most out of him while he's growing.

834
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 2: That's fair. I've saved the best for last. How about

835
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:53,320
Speaker 2: our Indiana football Hoosiers. I think I've established long a

836
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 2: graduate from many many years ago, as nineteen seventy. When

837
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 2: I graduate seventy seven, I think you spent plenty of

838
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,319
Speaker 2: time and there you know that town, well, you know

839
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 2: the football struggles over the largely over the decades. What

840
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 2: the hell is going on with your guys, Signetti, Well, he's.

841
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: I worked with him a long time ago. Don't know

842
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 1: if I mentioned on your show, but he was the

843
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: recruiting coordinator at pitt under Johnny Majors, and I was

844
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 1: assistant for Ralph Willard before went to Michigan State, So

845
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,760
Speaker 1: we interacted back then, and I mean you could see

846
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: then the way he approached recruiting, the way he approached

847
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 1: organization that like he was a business assassin. Now, like

848
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 1: he knew what he knew what he wanted to do

849
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: even back then. I think the fact that how he's

850
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 1: come up obviously a coaching family with his dad and brother,

851
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: how he's come up where he went and had success,

852
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: the things he's done, I think is he's is the

853
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:53,839
Speaker 1: levels have changed, especially with this one. He knew he

854
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: had to He didn't have to change how he coached,

855
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: he didn't have to change how he evaluated, but he

856
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: had to get into the mix. And that's probably why

857
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: I took the Indiana job, because of the commitment that

858
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,839
Speaker 1: they made financially right, and I think the fact that

859
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: he was able to bring in guys that were his

860
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 1: own soldiers, you know that that could come in and

861
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: help run his locker room, help be a big part

862
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: of the meetings, not only be big parts of the team,

863
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: but but be big parts of that culture that he

864
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:23,319
Speaker 1: was trying to build. Probably that in the staff thing

865
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:27,839
Speaker 1: is probably the secrets of his success. But he has

866
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: got and I don't know him like that, like I

867
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: haven't seen him in a long long time, but like

868
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: to have the continuity of the staff, to have those

869
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 1: kind of players, to be able to have the money

870
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,439
Speaker 1: that they have now to be able to compete says

871
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: a lot about what Indiana's doing too. And they've got

872
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: the boosters. Certainly there's numerous there's a lot of money there.

873
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: You know, Mark Cuban is a part of that. But

874
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 1: they're not paying for average. You know, when you're going

875
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: to invest that kind of money into that program. They're

876
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: looking and saying, wait, this guy's different, and I think

877
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 1: he proves that every week. And to go in there

878
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,399
Speaker 1: and beat Oregon because I think Dan Lanning's unbelievable. He's

879
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: a good friend of mine from the times that we

880
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: were at Georgia, so I love the guy. I think

881
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 1: he's one of the best coaches around and to go

882
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: in there and win that game that way, in that environment,

883
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 1: and that was incredible. So I just think, again, when

884
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 1: you watch football like you don't, you don't ever see

885
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 1: them beat themselves. And I think now their talent level

886
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: has picked up so much, and they've got the schemes

887
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 1: and they've got the belief that I don't think you

888
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,280
Speaker 1: can put any I don't think you can put any

889
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,319
Speaker 1: exclamation point on when it's going to be over for them.

890
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: I mean, there's this They're really really good, and it's

891
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: it's it's really fun to watch. It's fun to watch

892
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: somebody that's come up like that, absolutely because when you

893
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: listen to his interviews as you do, like you say,

894
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 1: hey to this guy, this guy has really put a

895
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: lot of time into this, but he doesn't feel like

896
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 1: this is some lucky shot, right. He feels like he

897
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 1: belongs and he coaches.

898
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 2: That way, no question about that. Again, thanks for the time.

899
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,839
Speaker 2: We're looking forward to visiting as much as you'll let

900
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 2: us visit with you. Congratulations on the new gig, and

901
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 2: as I said, Wolves fan should be celebrating this every

902
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,720
Speaker 2: place because you're going to bring a nice added piece

903
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 2: to the analysis as a person who as you know,

904
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 2: as you said, I mean, you live this stuff and

905
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:16,800
Speaker 2: you want to keep working it, and this will be

906
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 2: a great opportunity for both ends. So thanks again and

907
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:20,399
Speaker 2: we will hopefully talk soon.

908
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 1: Thanks Tom, Thank you, thanks for having me.

909
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 2: Absolutely appreciate you. Tom Crean former college basketball coach at

910
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 2: a number of places, including Georgia where he coached Anthony

911
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,760
Speaker 2: Edwards for one season, and now we got a local

912
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 2: angle with him. Beyond Anthony Edwards, he is going to

913
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 2: be doing a number of games on the Timberwolves regional

914
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,839
Speaker 2: broadcast I guess you could say fan Duel broadcast as

915
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:52,959
Speaker 2: a pregame and postgame analyst. Glenn Mason is not in Fargo, No,

916
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 2: he's well, he's in Guardgie Studio right now. He's going

917
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 2: to join us next thing. He's going to have to

918
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:05,839
Speaker 2: be the conscience of this show because if it's up

919
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 2: to me of the next hour, like fifty two minutes

920
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 2: of it might be hoo's your hotline. So we'll have

921
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 2: him try to talk me out of that and get

922
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:16,480
