00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 2: get too correct.

8
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 3: There's all kinds Should I play the sounder?

9
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 2: I probably, yes, absolutely down the last few days, It's true.

10
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 3: And how.

11
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 2: Sloppy and unprepared am I to not have reached out

12
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 2: much earlier today to Bill Garran because today was supposed

13
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 2: to be the day it made sense on Garren. Yeah,

14
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: and I flunked because it's already what is it there?

15
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 2: Six hour time difference seven? Yeah, he's getting ready for

16
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 2: a semi final game tomorrow. Yeah, well he's I'm guessing

17
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,319
Speaker 2: he's at his favorite bar. You know, you know it's

18
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: it's it's Garren. He's USA Hospitality galing a bunch of

19
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: people right now. He loves the whole process.

20
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 4: There were some good pictures of him yesterday where he's

21
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 4: watching overtime and he's stressed obviously, and then who else

22
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 4: Quinnesota Hughes SA scores and he does the Herb Brooks

23
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 4: both arms up, just calling Craze some really good pictures.

24
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 3: Here's the theme. So his new.

25
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 4: Favorite player, Bill Garrett, he mentioned it when he got

26
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 4: over to Italy is Abby Murphy, Gopher star forward who's

27
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 4: on Team USA. Patrick Roysie just brought up Abby Murphy.

28
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 4: She's coming back to play for the Gophers. By the way,

29
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 4: the rest of the season, once they all get back.

30
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 4: They do have a home series left in a few

31
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 4: weeks before the WCHA playoffs and then the NCAA playoffs.

32
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 4: But Abby Murphy had a great line in the scrum.

33
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 4: Russo Radio, who used to be a regular I'm bumper

34
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 4: to bumper, tweeted it out.

35
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 3: Wow, that's a shot.

36
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 4: Her quote was legends do legendary things, which I think

37
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 4: is a great quote.

38
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 3: And she was talking about Hillary Knight, isn't it. Yeah, Okay,

39
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 3: I'll leave it at.

40
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 4: That, Legends do legendary things. She was talking about Hillary

41
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 4: Knight scoring the game tying goal with just over two

42
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 4: minutes to go in the third pariod. It was two

43
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 4: oh four left to go in the third Canada had

44
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 4: pretty much handled and throttled and what's the word I'm

45
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 4: looking for? Befuddled the high flying US team until Hillary

46
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 4: Knight got on a shot from defenseman Laila Edwards tied

47
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 4: it up, and then Meghan Keller got the golden gold

48
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 4: in three on three overtime on a nice pass from

49
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 4: former Gopher Taylor Heisei, and Team USA and Women's hockey

50
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 4: wins the gold medal.

51
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 2: It was pretty much as dramatic as you can get, right,

52
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 2: you're the dominant team, you're one of the dominant stories.

53
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 2: You've outscored your opposition thirty one to one going into

54
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 2: the game, and you find yourself basically what two minutes

55
00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: away from being shut out by Canada, and we were

56
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 2: reminded that the US's you know, comeback late goal at

57
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 2: the end of the third period to tie it game

58
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: winning goal in ot is the exact opposite of what

59
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 2: happened in twenty fourteen when the roles were reversed and

60
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: Canada had or the US had, I should say, the

61
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 2: late lead on Canada. Canada ties it late in the

62
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 2: third and then they go on to win it in overtime,

63
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 2: So a marvelous comeback.

64
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 3: A to be honest, you.

65
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 2: Know, if you could argue that if you believe in

66
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 2: a sense of theater that this was the best way

67
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: to win. That if they had just dominated start to

68
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: finish the way they had Canada for what the last

69
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: seven eight games, it might have been.

70
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 3: Kind of boring. But this made it.

71
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: This brought eyeballs to it to say, oh my god,

72
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 2: are they actually in trouble here?

73
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 3: Could they actually lose this thing?

74
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: And to still find a way in a game in

75
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: which you've kind of been out played for much of

76
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 2: it to get the thing done one way or another

77
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 2: actually makes it even more dramatic than we might have hoped.

78
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 4: Why don't we straddle stay ahead and I can give

79
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 4: you some NBA anti tanking rules that have been floated

80
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 4: around by the Commissioner Adam Silver, and maybe some other

81
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 4: Olympic stuff as well.

82
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 3: That's a fine idea.

83
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: Just in case you missed it, it's the top five

84
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: spot staggers of the day. Now it's time for Dan

85
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,359

88
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 4: All right, Part two, let me give you a sham's

89
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 4: bomb or at least a Sham's story Shamsherania is.

90
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 2: That the same thing as a tom bomb. No, but

91
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 2: that was brilliant, so good. He's right.

92
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 4: It would have been great to hear Koc diplomatically get

93
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 4: around some of the questions that Mike Zimmer.

94
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 3: I remember Zimmer would even say to other or.

95
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 4: That's Thomas in questions. Literally, that's a question, what are

96
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 4: we doing?

97
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 3: Uh?

98
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 4: Commissioner Adam Silver informed the league's thirty general managers today

99
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 4: that the NBA plans to make anti tanking rule changes

100
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 4: for next season. Multiple sources with knowledge of today's meeting,

101
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 4: as well as a late January Competition Committee meeting, told

102
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 4: ESPN that these concepts have been discussed to curb tanking.

103
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 4: You ready for the list. First round draft picks can

104
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 4: be protected only for top four or top fourteen plus selections,

105
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 4: So five to seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, yea

106
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 4: be protected. Can't be protected because that's happening a lot Yeah,

107
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 4: you know, like I think Utah has got a top

108
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 4: ten protective pick and they're trying to keep it.

109
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 3: That's why they're doing what they're doing.

110
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,559
Speaker 4: Lottery odds freeze at the trade deadline or a later

111
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 4: date I've heard that one by a couple of people,

112
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 4: and I really yeah. But then no, that's not going

113
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 4: to work because then people are going to take even earlier.

114
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 4: Not necessarily they might, but then they can't tank the

115
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 4: rest of the.

116
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 3: Way now they have to actually play.

117
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 2: I'm just I don't know if I feel any better

118
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 2: about them just moving up the tanking to December.

119
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 3: Well, I'll have to think about that.

120
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 4: No longer allowing a team to pick in the top

121
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 4: four in consecutive years and or after consecutive bottom three finishes.

122
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 3: Interesting teams can't pick.

123
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 4: In the top four of the year after making the

124
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 4: conference finals. That's an anti Oklahoma city. Yes, like yeah.

125
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 4: Lottery odds allocated based on two year records, which is

126
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 4: kind of what the WNBA does. Lottery extended to include

127
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 4: all playing teams, so you don't have to make a choice.

128
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 4: I kind of like that, and then flatten the odds

129
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 4: for all the lottery teams. So does that mean like

130
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 4: everybody has the same odds?

131
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 5: Oh?

132
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, one through fourteen. Basically everybody's got to say.

133
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 2: Is the last one enough? So every team would have

134
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: what would be the percentage? You see, I'm not good

135
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 2: at understanding.

136
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 4: I wouldn't even know. Yeah, I wouldn't even I shouldn't

137
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 4: hazard a guess yet.

138
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: No, Well, it's encouraging that they're thinking, and it's encouraging

139
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 2: that they're not going to put table this for a

140
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 2: committee and maybe make some determination two or three years

141
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 2: down the line. And it's good to see that they're

142
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 2: not listening to anything that Mark Cuban is said on

143
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 2: the subject. Basically right, because Cuban is like, oh, it's

144
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 2: a dorset, it it's embraces. This is great, is what

145
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 2: everybody wants. How about this, by the way, how many games?

146
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 2: How many times have you been to a game and

147
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 2: not remembered whether your team won it or not. That's

148
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 2: another thing that Cuban said that I think it is

149
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: a lie. I get it not knowing the score of

150
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 2: a game, but you're gonna tell me most people remember.

151
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 3: For a long time.

152
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they end up losing that whatever the case.

153
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 2: I don't buy the Cuban Nope, it doesn't matter.

154
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 3: I was just there.

155
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 2: You remember most times, yes, the wins and the losses,

156
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: not not ten years later obviously, But I'm just saying that.

157
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 4: But also, you and I remember a game we went

158
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 4: to twenty years ago together to the mark.

159
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 2: That's also true. We definitely remember that right only because

160
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 2: they try to take in that game.

161
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 3: We'll never forget that.

162
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 4: And that was to keep the best lottery odds to

163
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 4: get I think correct six, which is.

164
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 3: What they ended up getting. That's truefth quarter four.

165
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 4: I like about this is part of the story, sources said.

166
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 4: Mike Skrzyzewski, the senior advisor to basketball operations for the

167
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 4: League office, delivered a message at Thursday's meeting that there

168
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 4: should be a prompt, tasteful attack on the problem and

169
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 4: that all involved should be prepared to respond to what

170
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 4: the league in acts in the coming months in years

171
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 4: in on this. And that's the headline. I don't even

172
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 4: care what he said or what his message was. But

173
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 4: the coach k coach k is involved, because why wouldn't

174
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 4: he be. He's coach k Oh. He's bored too, he's

175
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 4: got nothing else to do, he doesn't. They just had

176
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 4: like the forty year anniversary of Skrzewskiville in Cameron, and

177
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 4: he went out and talked to the students in the

178
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 4: tents and you know, said it's about you and we

179
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 4: do this together. We're all on the same team one

180
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 4: Minnesota one Duke. It was perfectly Duke, and I like Duke,

181
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 4: I don't hate. Well we could.

182
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 2: I mean, Roycey has always been a coach k agitator.

183
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 2: I should have brought that up, Yeah, because he would

184
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 2: have enjoyed that story. He would have been rolling his

185
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 2: eyes at that one.

186
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 4: And I'm sure you guys both had a lot of

187
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 4: things to say at the ninety two Final four when

188
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 4: the Fab five came through here championship game. Remember that

189
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 4: was the game where Coach k beat Bob Knight in

190
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 4: the semi finals and that started.

191
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 3: The whole thing. Yeah, that's right.

192
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 4: See, you could go, I don't know why we limit

193
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 4: Roycy to do an hour. We just need to do

194
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 4: a Ricey show, so we could do that. I mean,

195
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 4: do you guys tell stories?

196
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 2: Well, I was going to talk about this later that that.

197
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I got to you know, we got a

198
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: bunch of texts saying you should do this every week,

199
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 2: and I think that's too often, probably, and I don't

200
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 2: think that's something that it would be of interest to Patrick.

201
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 2: But that's the questions like how do you thread the needle,

202
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 2: Like how how much is too much? How often is

203
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 2: not often enough. You know, what's the what's the line there?

204
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 2: If I could get him to agree to something, because

205
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 2: I the you know, part of it I think for

206
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 2: him too is he's still got some loyalty to the Hubbards,

207
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 2: you know, and and to that extent. So I don't know,

208
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 2: maybe it's a conversation that that we can have because

209
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 2: you know, if it was up to me, we would

210
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 2: do it more often. I don't know what the right

211
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 2: amount is, but we'll take that under construed. Quarterly probably

212
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: fair quarterly might be the answer. You do the state

213
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 2: fair quarterly, which we were going to do this year.

214
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 2: You do January, you do Ryeah, you do, that's not

215
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 2: a bad thought. Spring break? Yeah, you could do once

216
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 2: every four months. Yeah, easily, we could. Well, we could

217
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 2: do it all. I mean, like I said every time,

218
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 2: I you're right. The other way to do it is

219
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: when you do it, just give him a whole show.

220
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 2: You just go start to finish until and then it's

221
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 2: like it's like sports history and not always sports.

222
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 3: He might get a couple of Trump cheap shots in

223
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 3: there too.

224
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 4: Just Mike Sterns County used to vote for Eugene McCarthy's

225
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 4: that's brilliant. Your club here we go. I hope you

226
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 4: looked at the link that I sent you to buy

227
00:10:58,760 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 4: up real estate and.

228
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 3: In Whiting, Indiana.

229
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 2: Whiting is next door, that's what the one you sent

230
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 2: near Hammond where apparently the Chicago Bears are going to

231
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 2: become the Hammond, Indiana Bear, not even Gary, which that's

232
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 2: the part that disappoints me. That's my dream. My dream

233
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: was downtown Gary. That's apparently not an option. But there's

234
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 2: a deal on the table that I think is going

235
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 2: to end up being too good for the Chicago Illinois

236
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 2: Bears to turn down. I really think it's I'm not

237
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: saying it's one hundred percent. And I get there's still

238
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 2: some playing around here, yep, jockeying. But I think that's

239
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 2: the problem with Illinois is you wait too long, you're

240
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 2: gonna get burned on this thing, and it's gonna get

241
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 2: too far down the road, and the deal is gonna

242
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 2: be too good and the Bears are gonna say, bleep it,

243
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 2: we're going Kevin Warren's on the clock, man, that's true,

244
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 2: that's his job. He didn't get that job done. And

245
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 2: I think what it sounds like is.

246
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 3: It wasn't gonna get done in Illinois.

247
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 4: So what are we talking about today? A meaningful step

248
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 4: that is the quote forward today Courtney Cronin's story opening

249
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 4: the door for the Bears to leave Illinois to potentially

250
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 4: build a new domed stadium in north west Indiana. Indiana

251
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 4: lawmakers in the State House Ways and Means Committee, one

252
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 4: of your favorites, unanimously approved an amendment to Indiana State

253
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 4: Build twenty seven by a vote of twenty four zero

254
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 4: that would clear a path for the Bears to build

255
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 4: a stadium. This would create the Northwest Indiana Stadium Authority.

256
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 4: I assume that Kelm Helgens and the Helgans will be

257
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 4: involved in it somehow. I heard you talking about that

258
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 4: with Kessler last night. Here's the statement from the Bears.

259
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 4: The passage of SB twenty seven would mark the most

260
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 4: meaningful step forward in our stadium planning efforts to date.

261
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 4: We are committed to finishing the remaining site specific necessary

262
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 4: due diligence to support our vision to build a world

263
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 4: class stadium near the Wolf Lake area.

264
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 3: Here's what I can tell you about that location.

265
00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 2: Little Danny Barrero would go to a date Cubs games

266
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 2: because there were no night games back then, okay, in

267
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 2: the sixties, and we would drive to Chicago, about thirty

268
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 2: five miles from Gary to the Chicago city limits and

269
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 2: one of the first things you see is wolf Lake.

270
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 3: A sign this says wolf Lake.

271
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 2: If somebody has even shown that sign today, it's apparently

272
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 2: right around that area, which I think right now is nothing.

273
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 2: I don't think there's anything there. That's the point. You're

274
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 2: creating something out of nothing. How devastating will it be?

275
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 2: In a sense, it is because of the history. Obviously,

276
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 2: it's the Chicago Bears. Man, it's George Hallis. But I

277
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 2: admit I'm not objective because I have too much Hoosier

278
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 2: in me, and I actually think that part's kind of cool.

279
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 2: And frankly, I just don't think Soldier Field. If it

280
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 2: was going to stay in Illinois, it wasn't gonna be

281
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 2: Solderfield anyway. So if it's not going to be in

282
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 2: the city, I'm actually less offended as a Bears fan

283
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 2: growing up. Oh interesting, Yeah, then that would be if

284
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 2: you could say, no, it doesn't have to be. I mean,

285
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 2: because the only spot in Chicago is going to be

286
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 2: Arlington Heights. That's in the burbs and that's fine, but

287
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 2: that's not you know, Lake Front, Chicago, Illinois. So to me,

288
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 2: it's not as emotional an idea. If you're not going

289
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 2: to stay in the city of Chicago anyway.

290
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 4: I think that's a different That was Indiana's play, probably right,

291
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 4: no question. If hey, if you're moving anyway, we had it.

292
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 4: If it's the Chicago Bears, it should be the Chicago Bears.

293
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 4: But if it's not in Chicago anymore, what is that?

294
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 4: That's that's it. That's fans from one area of the

295
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 4: city are going to be annoyed exactly.

296
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 2: So it's interesting. Yeah, it's and again I've said this

297
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 2: a million times. Northwest Indiana is considered part of the

298
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 2: Chicago land area. It's it's that close. It's like an

299
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 2: outer ring burb in Chicago in a lot of places.

300
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 2: It's just it's in a direction of another state. It's

301
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 2: not that unprecedented. It's you know, now again, is now

302
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 2: the time where whatever Illinois's best card is that they'll

303
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 2: finally play it. And that's the whole point of this. Maybe, yeah,

304
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 2: but I think it's very close to turning.

305
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 4: Well, I'll say this as we wrap up the best part,

306
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 4: and I feel for arden Hills because we remember, yes,

307
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 4: what Arden Hills did, right, And I wish Guests was

308
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 4: here today because he would probably remember this. But remember

309
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 4: arden Hills basically put together an unbelievable presentation, right. I

310
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 4: mean I'm envisioning models and grass and charts and packets

311
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 4: and just oodles of information on the day that the

312
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 4: Vikings said, hey, or if it was even Governor Dayton,

313
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 4: here's the deadline, get your plans in, and like an

314
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 4: hour after that, the Minneapolis people grabbed like a one

315
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 4: sheet and just handed it over and said, here, here's

316
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 4: our proposal.

317
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 3: Here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna do it here

318
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 3: at us Bank.

319
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 2: I mean it was basically like me at my five

320
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 2: colleges on you know, by second semester work, Yeah done.

321
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 3: Hill still hasn't gotten over it.

322
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 2: No.

323
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 4: I think they finally just decided what they're going to

324
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 4: do with the munition's plant and what I can't remember,

325
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 4: but I feel like they finally had some ideas now

326
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 4: that they're putting through. But that's what you with Kevin Warre,

327
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 4: and that's what you always got to want look at,

328
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 4: worry about, look at that scenery.

329
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 2: Though it's another one of a ski it's a ski

330
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 2: jumper in Nordic combined in the snow.

331
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 3: How beautiful does that look? How dangerous? Doesn't? It looks beautiful?

332
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 4: But it also I've seen like some of the snowboard

333
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 4: stuff when it's snowing like that, and everyone's bitter because

334
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 4: it's you know, you can't do what you want to do.

335
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 4: I see you've got it, and I don't know about

336
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 4: for ski jumping, but you've got to dial it back,

337
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 4: and you've got to dial it down, and it opens

338
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 4: up a whole world of possibilities that you weren't.

339
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 3: Answerting, you know, on your Arden Hills thing. You're right,

340
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 3: I guess to an extent that that.

341
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 2: May this may bring back horrible memories if indeed another place,

342
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 2: in this case, another state is ever is able to

343
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: pull off what Arden Hills ultimately was not allowed to.

344
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 3: The stories a stadium could tell right about that in boxes?

345
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 2: Next?

346
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 3: Is that correct?

347
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,199
Speaker 4: Looking good? We're in a good spot. JG Atcafe n

348
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 4: dot com. If you'd like to get in on the

349
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 4: X and we still have the SAMI to name?

350
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 3: Is that in position?

351
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 2: It can be? I have it in my folder. Oh okay,

352
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 2: yes it does exist. Yes, the yeah architect has said,

353
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 2: I think we should get to that soon. I think

354
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 2: maybe as soon as after this break, and then we

355
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 2: can play it again very late in the show as well.

356
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 2: Mood I think the time is good for Moody in that.

357
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 2: Just earlier today we had Mike Conley on in his

358
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 2: return to the to the Wolves to the Buffer to

359
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 2: Bumper program, good half hour with him between three and

360
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 2: three thirty, and he.

361
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 3: Didn't deny it either. He didn't deny the uh.

362
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 2: Shall we say, mercurial nature of some of our players.

363
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 2: I like how he says we have an emotional team,

364
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 2: emotional guy and so I and he wasn't even all

365
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 2: that offended about what Rudy said. Said Rudy's right, even

366
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: if he you know, added the you know requisite, better

367
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 2: to do it in private than in public, et cetera,

368
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 2: et cetera. So Tsunami Moody is and the timing is

369
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 2: good for Sosnnami Moody, because what have we been told

370
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: by Johnny and others about the Wolves. They're going to

371
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 2: restart the season tomorrow night hosting uh the the Street

372
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 2: closed last Dallas Mavericks, even though actually now there's two

373
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 2: more players in street clothes, including Kyrie for the rest

374
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 2: of the season.

375
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 3: And you're at a point now where, okay.

376
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 2: We we had our moody period, and now we've got

377
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 2: to figure out we got to finish as strong as

378
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 2: we did a year ago when we weren't particularly moody.

379
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 2: I think the Wolves went twenty and five the last

380
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 2: twenty five games last year, went in with a significant

381
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 2: amount of momentum.

382
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,239
Speaker 3: Into the postseason. And what do we have left here?

383
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,479
Speaker 2: I think it's twenty six games correct, post All Star break.

384
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 2: So it's our gentle nudge of an attempt to say,

385
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 2: moody up till now.

386
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 3: Now you put the moods aside.

387
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 2: According to Johnny Finchy's saying to this team, put the

388
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 2: egos aside. Stop worrying about when you're playing your point totals.

389
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 2: Now we got to hunker down and do the things

390
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 2: that are going to give us the best chance to

391
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 2: make a significant run in the post season. Snonami Moody

392
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 2: courtesy of our buddy Ryan Donaldson. Also, you want a

393
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 2: heartwarming story, a little quick with a local angle.

394
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 3: That'd be great.

395
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 2: Why not always well, Odra Martin had revealed via X

396
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 2: I think a day ago that her pooch got away.

397
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 2: This was in the Becker area. Couldn't find the dog.

398
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 2: When I saw that tweet, I say, man, god speed,

399
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 2: is this rarely ends well? Well, apparently it's ending incredibly well.

400
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 2: Great news, Odra announced him an hour ago. She's been found.

401
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 2: Thank you to everyone who posted about her. She was

402
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 2: under some trucks at the electric company. One of the

403
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 2: employees who saw the post saw a bunch of paw prints,

404
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 2: followed them and there she was. My heart is bursting.

405
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 2: Is there anything in this world if you're a dog lover?

406
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 2: Is there anything in this world that is sweeter, more invigorating,

407
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 2: more uplifting than having a second chance with a pooch

408
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 2: that you thought you lost. Right in all seriousness, I mean,

409
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 2: it's it's as good as it gets.

410
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 3: In a world in which there are obviously a lot.

411
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 2: Bigger issues, it's okay to celebrate exactly what took place

412
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 2: in this case, the the idea that a dog that

413
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say she gave up, but in the

414
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 2: back of your mind, you go, one are the odds?

415
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 3: How is that going to work out?

416
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 2: And maybe this is the magic of social media in

417
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 2: this case, the magic of X, because it sounds like

418
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 2: somebody that that that, that's that spotted the Prince had her,

419
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 2: had read what she'd said, and was maybe paying a

420
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 2: little bit more attention than they otherwise would.

421
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 4: Who's to say somewhere in dog having the ham the

422
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,719
Speaker 4: Christmas Miracle bulldog is saying, what a day, Lottie?

423
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 2: Exactly right? Come on, there's not any question. I was

424
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 2: gone three months, that came back. It came back. That's

425
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 2: still that story will still never be taught. Lottie the

426
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 2: Olympic Miracle bulldog.

427
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 3: That's it?

428
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 4: Or what kind of dog? I don't know what Lottie is.

429
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 4: It looks it's like a uh, I don't know, mind dogs.

430
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 2: What is that's a kind of a long haired, black coat,

431
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 2: cute dog, long hair, not very tall.

432
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 3: What is that dog?

433
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 4: It's little. I'm watching the video of the return and

434
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 4: it's a is it emotional? You would call it a

435
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 4: yip dog, that's what you would call it. Well, I

436
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 4: give this a little more credit than a yip dog.

437
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 2: A yip dog is actually smaller than this dog, and

438
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 2: a yip dog, in my mind, tends to be shorter

439
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 2: hair for whatever reason, even if that's not fair. It's

440
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 2: all taste, but I'm glad that worked out very fast.

441
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 2: It's great videos. All right, let's get to the inbox.

442
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 5: It's time for a.

443
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 4: Doctor Thursday, right around four thirty unless Patrick roysis in studio,

444
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 4: then we kick it to five thirty. JG at k

445
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 4: f A N dot com, Dear doctor Dan. Sometimes change

446
00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 4: is needed, however subtle it may seem. Even though our

447
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 4: local club ended an epic playoff drought under J. Pohlad's

448
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 4: fine leadership, there were a few slight missteps the past

449
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 4: few years.

450
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 3: So we decided to make a change.

451
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 4: First thing I told you two months ago is that

452
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 4: I'm an aggressive, go big or go home guy, and

453
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 4: I think our actions since then speak for themselves. First,

454
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 4: I talked to the players, the coaches, and our fans

455
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 4: to share my vision to earn back your trust, build

456
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 4: a bridge to our fans, and create some positive momentum.

457
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 4: And I talked and I talked, and I talked and

458
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 4: I talked. Second, we further right sized our payroll. Third,

459
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 4: we told you to quit fixating on our payroll. Fourth,

460
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 4: we told you that payroll be damned. We pursued a

461
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 4: starting quality pitcher, only to be edged out by those

462
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 4: big market d Tigers. And last, but not least, we

463
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 4: announced that we will be selling beer for two dollars.

464
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 4: But please read the fine print because this is only

465
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 4: before the first pitch and only on Fridays and Saturdays.

466
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 3: Doctor Dan, Do you.

467
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 2: Believe that we've already done enough to earn back your

468
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 2: trust and build some positive momentum?

469
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 3: This from ta pole.

470
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 2: Ad, Te Paul Ad. No, you've done nothing to earn

471
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 2: my trust. You've done really more than any previous poll

472
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 2: ad to earn my contempt. I know you're the new kid,

473
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 2: or the new pole Ad, and we know you're really

474
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 2: bright eyed and bushy tailed about this new endeavor. And

475
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 2: you keep saying how you understand that you've got to

476
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 2: win people over, But you clearly don't understand that you

477
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 2: need to win people over, because if you understood how

478
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 2: you have to win people over, you wouldn't make the

479
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 2: series of missteps that you just did with a straight face.

480
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 2: I can't imagine if somebody said to me, well, here's

481
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 2: how bad the Twins public relations is. Is there any

482
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 2: way that a poll ad could make it worse? I'd say, well, yeah,

483
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,199
Speaker 2: there are several ways he could make it worse. He

484
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 2: could further cut payroll even if he doesn't call it

485
00:24:54,800 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 2: right sizing, which has indeed happened. He could actually pretend

486
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 2: that the twins were serious about a free agent pitcher

487
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 2: in which they were not even in the same ballpark,

488
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 2: zip cone, zip cone, zip code or solar system as

489
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 2: a team who got them. And you can pretend that

490
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 2: people are going to go two hour beers. I'm on

491
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 2: my way, even though I might leave before the first

492
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 2: pitch because the beers are not going to be that

493
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 2: same price to rest the way I would say, all

494
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 2: of those things actually are indicative of an individual who

495
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 2: is trying without even knowing it, or is I guess,

496
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 2: in essence making it worse even if he's not trying

497
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 2: to do so.

498
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 5: It's time for a doctor.

499
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 4: He's got another one in this realm that just has

500
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 4: too many good cheap shots.

501
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 5: Now.

502
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 2: The last one had a bunch too, Dear doctor Dan, Hello,

503
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 2: ingredients from four Myers. After hearing my older brother's comments

504
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,719
Speaker 2: about who we almost landed, I'm wondering how much you

505
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 2: guys miss never hearing from me anymore. But may I

506
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 2: remind you about the exciting prospects and free agents we

507
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 2: did land and are bringing to spring training, including ten

508
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 2: year MLB veteran Orlando Arcia career one ninety six hitter,

Speaker 2: David Vanuelos two hundred and sixty pounds, switch hitting, slugger

Speaker 2: Josh Bell weak armed, below average hitter Victor Carrattini, marginal

511
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 2: prospects Kyler thecho Alex Jackson in his one fifty three

512
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 2: average if he catching prospects Andrew Cassetti infielder, outfielder Ryan

Speaker 2: one slugger James Autman, white hitting Alex Rodin and his

515
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 2: one fifty eight average or underwhelming first baseman outfielder Eric Wageman.

516
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 2: I know the ticket buying public can't wait to see

517
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 2: this roster in action for seventeen home games in the

518
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 2: month of April. Thanks for thinking of me, Jay Polas.

519
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 2: Oh that's that might be that might land in the

520
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 2: Doctor Dan's Inbox Hall of Fame.

521
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 4: Seriously, that, first of all, is this John Bonus who

522
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 4: knows soo? Who knows that many twins?

523
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 2: I mean, who's burner is in a name he recognized?

524
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 2: Could be a Burner name, No, but it's one of

525
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 2: our regulars. It's absolutely well good. First, of all good

526
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 2: homework being done, because I'll take him at his word

527
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 2: that all those statistical items were accurate, and I I

528
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 2: couldn't been. He could not have laid it out any

529
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 2: more brilliantly than he did, other than to say, oh,

530
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 2: by the way, we have noticed right Tom Paul has

531
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 2: insulted by the over under on victories for his favorite

532
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 2: bae and a half. Yes, he says, it's absurd and

533
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 2: we're going to be somehow. Contending baseball can be a

534
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 2: funny game, as Doctor had has learned. But I think

535
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 2: we'll all agree that's a bit of a long shot

536
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 2: at this point.

537
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 3: That was well done.

538
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 4: I have no idea if all those guys are actually twins,

539
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 4: but they were all that. It's all worth it. You're,

540
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 4: doctor Dan, the saddest thing in life, wasted talent. I

541
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,959
Speaker 4: can't throw the ball to myself, Doctor Dan. We had

542
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 4: Kate Cousins, he left, we had s Darnold, he left,

543
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 4: won a Super Bowl. We're left with JJ, the quarterback

544
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 4: that apparently can't be trusted to throw over the middle.

545
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 4: I'm patient, Doctor Dan, but another season like that, I'm

546
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 4: afraid I may be the next out the door. This

547
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 4: from Jay Jefferson.

548
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,479
Speaker 2: Well, the questionnaire is always going to be, at what

549
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 2: point does Ja Jefferson want to be out the door.

550
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 2: He's obviously tried to be the good soldier, He's tried

551
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 2: to say all the right things. This is the Doctor

552
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 2: Dan prediction. He'll hang in for one more year. I

553
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 2: think that's it. And I still don't expect him to

554
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 2: be the kind of player who's going to make a

555
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 2: big production agree of his unhappiness. But I think behind

556
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 2: the scenes, if the Vikings struggle again offensively, if the quarterback,

557
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 2: you know, whatever the the the program is or whatever

558
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 2: the plan is, fails again, I would be shocked.

559
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 3: We'll put this. I will start to question whether.

560
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson wants to win as much as we all

561
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 2: assume he assume he does. If after another year of

562
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 2: this nonsense, if it turns out to be nonsense again

563
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six, he does not quietly say, Okay,

564
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 2: it's been fun for a while, but it's not fun anymore.

565
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 3: I need to get out of Dodge.

566
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 2: Get your you know, send me to a contender, give

567
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 2: me your best deal, but it's time. It doesn't sound

568
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 2: like Roycey is in favor of kirkle chains coming back.

569
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 2: Did you get that impression?

570
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 4: Got that vibe being a subtle He's usually very subtle,

571
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 4: and I picked up on the subtleties there. Dear doctor Dan,

572
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 4: have you been watching him with this m Gophers women's

573
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 4: basketball team is up to bringing back some great memories

574
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 4: in our group chat from our time together in the barn,

575
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 4: and we can't wait to see where this team in

576
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 4: this season go from here. This from el Whalen and

577
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 4: Jay mccarvill, two of your favorites, had another one of

578
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 4: their regulars.

579
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 3: That's very true. I have you.

580
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 2: Talked to al Whalen about the direction of the club. Yes,

581
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 2: she has to be very very proud in curation, happy,

582
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 2: loves it to see what has taken place.

583
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 3: Here is the first real sign? What is it? What

584
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 3: do we say?

585
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 2: Did you say it was twenty eighteen last we made

586
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 2: the postseason?

587
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 3: Yes? The march madness is what.

588
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 2: We love about this is they're not going to back in.

589
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 3: I mean they're not going to be on the bubble.

590
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 2: They're not going to be the team and go ah,

591
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 2: you know, Lenardi's got them in, Boss just got them out,

592
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 2: you know that.

593
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 3: Kind of thing.

594
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 2: They're in they've only got what you tell me, two

595
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 2: big ten games left regular season, correct, and then they're

596
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 2: going to be a top five seed in the conference tournament,

597
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 2: are they not? Yeah, they have an inside track right

598
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 2: now for about dolly correct, Yeah, if they can.

599
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 3: And all of this also means.

600
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 2: There's a good chance they would host the first two games,

601
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 2: the first two rounds at the n Tournament.

602
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 3: Correct, exactly right? Are you kidding? It was the top

603
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 3: four seed in March madness. That's a story.

604
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 2: That's a story about excellence, and we're seeing it right

605
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 2: in front of us. It played out again last night.

606
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 2: You were there for it. Shocking eventually. I think you

607
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 2: got there just in time for the start of the

608
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 2: second half. I'm not mistaken. Yeah, I got there for

609
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 2: the first t shirt toss. That's pretty much it. Gophers

610
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 2: taking out ten number ten Ohio State. So yeah, it's porn. Well,

611
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 2: we're not in the usual busy period because we've got

612
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 2: the Olympics, but you know, the Wolves have been off

613
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 2: the wilder obviously off. The vikings are done sort of

614
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 2: kind of, So it's a great opportunity, I think, to

615
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 2: gain interest of the casual sports fan moving forward. There's

616
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 2: nothing to lose investing in finally a legitimate college basketball

617
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 2: product that is growing legitimately right before our eyes.

618
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 5: It's time for a doctor.

619
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: Box.

620
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 4: Here, doctor Dan, after listening to your next guest or

621
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 4: last guest, I'm wondering if the next Turkey of the

622
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 4: year could possibly be the new GM of the Vikings

623
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 4: when I return, when I get released from my current contract,

624
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 4: I could sign for the veteran minimum. I just want

625
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 4: to make sure someone will shovel my condo. My announcement

626
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 4: will come the next time you have pe Royce in studio.

627
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 4: Just let me know and I will get it worked out.

628
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 2: This from Ka Cousins, Well, I'm not sure I'm quite

629
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 2: as down on the idea as p Roycy, but I'm

630
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 2: not gonna lie.

631
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 3: It really wouldn't do much to inspire me.

632
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 2: I'm not sure how much he has left. I know

633
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 2: a lot of people point to one or two games

634
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,719
Speaker 2: down the stretch, and I understand then the position they're in.

635
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 2: You're not gonna get a first ballot Hall of Famer.

636
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 2: Options aren't going to be all that good. But I'm hoping.

637
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of Vikings fans hoping that

638
00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 2: there might be another QB, another veteran QB available that

639
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 2: might be a little less long in the tooth relatively speaking,

640
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 2: Who could be the quote unquote veteran answer to at

641
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 2: the very least compete for the job and potentially even

642
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 2: maybe take it or get it when inevitably JJ McCarthy

643
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 2: gets hurt again. I mean, you sound like you're all

644
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 2: in on the return of Kirkham.

645
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 4: I just don't know who else the rest of the options.

646
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 4: I'm just not that inspired by it.

647
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 3: I'm not inspired by any of the options that. I

648
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 3: don't think Cousins is that inspiring either.

649
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 4: Know, and I definitely don't like the idea that we

650
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 4: talked about last week where they just say it's your job,

651
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 4: ye go come on back. I don't think that is

652
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 4: the right thing to do. But can you get him

653
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 4: if he's just going to be a backup? I don't know, that's.

654
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 3: As the question. I don't know how much leverage he's

655
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 3: going to have.

656
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 2: I don't think much, to be honest with you, but

657
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 2: maybe I'm underestimating the power of Kirkham under a few walkoffs.

658
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, might as well.

659
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 5: She's dying for.

660
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 3: Dear doctor Dan.

661
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 4: Really excited for spring training to start, to see what

662
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 4: the season can bring. Why do our arms all suddenly hurt?

663
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 4: This from Jay, ryan Z, Matthews and de Fessa and

664
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 4: every other Twins pitcher apparently, Oh, I dought you're gonna

665
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,439
Speaker 4: have you keep I can if you want to say anything.

666
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 4: You can't have nothing there. Dear doctor Dan, it's amazing today.

667
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 4: I don't know how many letters we have total. I

668
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 4: would say seventy percent of them are Twins related.

669
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 2: Really, yes, dear Hope Springs Eternal, actually Cynicism Springs, I said,

670
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 2: none of them are snark Spring Springs Eternal.

671
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 3: I came so close to siding with the Twins. It's true.

672
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 4: It was so hard to turn down their discount of

673
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 4: September leftover souvenirs and two dollars beers in favor of

674
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 4: taking the Tiger's cash.

675
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 3: That from f Baldez.

676
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 2: Has anybody from his camp been asked to comment on

677
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 2: t pole Lad's comment. Not that I've loved now again

678
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 2: in Detroit they don't care, probably, but I'd like somebody

679
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 2: have the opportunity to follow it up. Maybe the first

680
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 2: time they come to town. Maybe we can get a

681
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 2: gleaman to go into the visiting clubhouse and find out. Hey,

682
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 2: you know what you did? You get a good offer

683
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 2: from the Twins as well.

684
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:21,240
Speaker 4: Just to see, dear doctor Dan, we were in on Valdez.

685
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 4: We only had two and a half months to repair

686
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 4: what my brother destroyed. We have since right sized my brother.

687
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 4: That from t pole ad. Wow, Dear doctor Dan, what's

688
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 4: the big deal? A lot of teams play their home

689
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 4: games in different states, and our fans don't even think

690
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,280
Speaker 4: it's the top ten of our problems.

691
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 3: This from the NY Jets. Oh yeah, it's not in

692
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 3: their top ten of their parison.

693
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:43,399
Speaker 5: Yeah.

694
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 3: No, after well, the Giants play in Jersey. They both

695
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 3: don't do.

696
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:51,760
Speaker 2: That's I think a little closer, although with traffic congestion,

697
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 2: probably not that much. I think in this case it's

698
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 2: because we're not used to it. I think that's a

699
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 2: lot of it. I really do. I think that's a

700
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 2: significant part of it. But and it's hard for people

701
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 2: to understand this. When they hear Indiana, Oh what do

702
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 2: you mean Indiana, it's like, well, no, we're not talking

703
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 2: about Indianapolis. We're talking about northwest Indiana, which is right

704
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 2: across the border from Illinois, and hell it's a it's

705
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 2: an easy skyway jaunt from Gary or the Gary area

706
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 2: to the city of Broad Shoulders.

707
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 3: So there's a big shoulders I can't even remember it's

708
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 3: my city.

709
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 2: But I think it's just the idea of it, because

710
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 2: the Bears are, you know, one of those legacy or franchises.

711
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 3: They've been around forever.

712
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 2: They're associated with the city as they should be the

713
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 2: city of Chicago.

714
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 3: But it's what I said earlier. If I thought.

715
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 2: Kevin Warren was depriving the Bears are staying in the

716
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 2: city by considering this offer, I might get it. But

717
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 2: I think the ship is sailed. I think the choices

718
00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 2: only choices left are Arlington Heights, which you know is

719
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 2: about a hop skipping to jump from where I.

720
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 3: Went to high school.

721
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 2: You know, it's a highly populated, very successful area northwest

722
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 2: of the city, northwest suburbs, or going to you know,

723
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:18,439
Speaker 2: the Gary Hammond, Indiana area, just on the other side

724
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 2: of the border with with you know, the southern part

725
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 2: of Chicago and Illinois.

726
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 3: I'd say, I just don't think it's quite.

727
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 2: As traumatic or as emotional at all, because I don't

728
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 2: think anybody is going to feel particularly emotional about the

729
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:32,280
Speaker 2: Bears being in Arlington Heights. The emotion part was leaving

730
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 2: the city of the City of Chicago.

731
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 3: Itself, the lakefront itself.

732
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 2: You associate the Bears with the lakefront, and I think

733
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 2: that dream has already gone. It's just a matter of

734
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 2: whether Indiana can can finish the job, and I think

735
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 2: they got a pretty good.

736
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 3: Shot to do it.

737
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 4: Dude, doctor Dana, I'm usually knowing in Minnesota as a

738
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 4: grumpy grandpa, but I might be turning a corner. I

739
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 4: was in your studio for an hour and predicted a

740
00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:00,760
Speaker 4: big Wild and Wolves run pe Roc.

741
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 2: He did, He said, he actually did say the Wild

742
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 2: will play into June. I think he likes the wild

743
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 2: better than the wolves. Yes, he does. He said he

744
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 2: could probably win a couple of rounds. Yep is what

745
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 2: he said, So we'll see. We did have a good

746
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,439
Speaker 2: conversation with Mike Conley. M Conley at Star of the show,

747
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 2: his first time back since coming back. He practiced with

748
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 2: the team this afternoon and had a lot to say

749
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 2: about that, and I think he wants to believe they

750
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 2: can go even further. If you asked me to say

751
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 2: which team has a better chance to go far, I

752
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 2: might say the Wild, but I my hesitation in doing

753
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 2: it is only that we've got no track record. There's

754
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 2: no equity established, right, it's it now. That doesn't mean

755
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 2: you can't make a big jump in one year, including

756
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 2: you know, he's certainly in a year in which you

757
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 2: make the kind of big trade that they already have

758
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 2: and the possibility that they're making another one before the hockey deadline.

759
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:02,439
Speaker 2: But the Wolves, we cannot forget at least have made

760
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 2: They've already shown the ability to fight, to sort of

761
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 2: confront the playoff wars, the hand to hand you know,

762
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 2: I mean basically a hand to hand combat that takes place.

763
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 2: It's grueling and if you got that in your back pocket,

764
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 2: I don't think that should be taken for granted. Wild

765
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 2: still have to prove they can win a single playoff series,

766
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 2: even if they are better equipped to do so.

767
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 3: There you go, there's your doctor Dan's inbox. That's well done.

768
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 2: We'll come back for a final half hour of a

769
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 2: very busy program today. We'll also give you more details

770
00:39:31,840 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 2: on what we have coming up on tomorrow's show. I

771
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 2: need pronunciation help here, if at all possible on your end.

772
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 2: We have another We obviously had the celebration earlier. The

773
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 2: US Women's Olympic hockey team trailing won nothing. Late in

774
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 2: the third, they scored a tie and then they end

775
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 2: up winning it in overtime. And by the way, in

776
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 2: the gold medal game, there is no there are no

777
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 2: there is no shootout. That's the one round in which

778
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 2: they'll keep playing forever and ever and ever.

779
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 3: That's the one exception to the rule.

780
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 2: I meant to make that point a little bit earlier

781
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 2: in the broadcast. We have an American, a US winner

782
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 2: in women's figure skating as well. For twenty years, American

783
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 2: women have fallen short of the Olympic medal podium in

784
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 2: figure skating.

785
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 3: Period. At times they came close, and others.

786
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 2: They were in the same ice but hardly in the

787
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 2: same galaxy as their rivals.

788
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,280
Speaker 3: Has been even longer.

789
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 2: Since the US produced an individual gold medalist at the Games.

790
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 2: We all recognize those names, don't we. Peggy Fleming, Dorothy Hamill,

791
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:53,439
Speaker 2: Christi Yamaguchi, Tara Lipinsky, Sarah Hughes. And now, as Wall

792
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 2: Street Journal gal tells us, we got another Alyssa Lou

793
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 2: lu am I pronouncing that right, lu, the easy going

794
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 2: twenty year old from Bay Area, became the first woman

795
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 2: I should say, to win individual gold since two thousand

796
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 2: and two earlier tonight, breaking a streak that went all

797
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 2: the way back to before lou was even born. She

798
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 2: looks like, you want to talk about thrill of victory.

799
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:26,280
Speaker 2: The photos I'm looking at indicate very much thrill of victory.

800
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 4: She apparently looked into the camera and yelled, that's what

801
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 4: I'm bleeping talking about.

802
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 3: Seriously. Yeah, that's great. I was so calm.

803
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 2: I feel good, I feel confident, and I put it

804
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 2: all out there and I don't even think the French

805
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:45,399
Speaker 2: judge apparently in this case, could get in the way.

806
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:52,800
Speaker 2: So there's another significant story regarding US Olympic success for

807
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 2: the United States of America. I'm sure that'll be all

808
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 2: replayed again tonight. Correct, Olympics in primetime? You love that,

809
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 2: don't you do it? Whole prime time too? I love

810
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 2: the whole bit, all right. So we know team USA

811
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 2: comes back to beat Canada in women's hockey. We know

812
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 2: the men play semi final about during our show tomorrow.

813
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 3: Correct?

814
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, unfortunately, and again no chance to get Russo.

815
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 3: And apparently.

816
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 2: This is being suggested as our most impressive medals tm

817
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:38,720
Speaker 2: USA's most impressive medals at the Olympics were not gold.

818
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 2: This goes back to I guess one of those events

819
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,879
Speaker 2: in which we've never really existed, and that would be

820
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 2: cross country skiing. Okay, we're not very good, nor have

821
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 2: we ever been very good in cross country skiing, but

822
00:43:56,120 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 2: in this case we after basically here, well here, let

823
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 2: me maybe the better way to put it is like this,

824
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 2: we won one men's cross country skiing medal in one

825
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:14,399
Speaker 2: hundred years. We got two silvers in a week with

826
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 2: Ben Ogden and Gus Schumacher. I don't know if either

827
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,439
Speaker 2: of them are local, right, but it shouldn't matter. That's

828
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 2: impressive America. Another example of you know, sneaky events, hidden

829
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,280
Speaker 2: events that are worthy of a little bit of.

830
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 3: Consideration as well. Don't you think that's the way I

831
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 3: look at it? For sure. We talked about Schiffrin.

832
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 2: She's done now though, right that was her last event,

833
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 2: I think, because I think skiing's done down I mean

834
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 2: slalom and downhill is all.

835
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 3: Of wrapping up here. Yeah, we're getting down to it, right.

836
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 3: What's tomorrow Friday? Yeah?

837
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 2: Look at the cross country skiing right now. I love it.

838
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:53,919
Speaker 2: Snow globe, it's beautiful. That feels worse that feels worse

839
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 2: than a snow globe that feels like a snnami.

840
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 3: Does it really feel like moody?

841
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm glad Lobbels listing because I did save his

842
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:09,280
Speaker 2: tweet from earlier today. We are in US women's curling

843
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:13,760
Speaker 2: team is in the semifinals tomorrow as well, so another

844
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 2: great chance to achieve a medal or you know, even

845
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 2: beyond that. So still a lot of stuff to pay

846
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,959
Speaker 2: attention to. I'm assuming the gold medal game in men's

847
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 2: hockey is Sunday. I don't know it. Yes, it is Sunday,

848
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 2: and it's earlier in the morning. I think it's seven

849
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 2: am our time. I'm pretty sure. Is it seven or eight? Yeah,

850
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 2: well then maybe that's the answer. They win the gold

851
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 2: and then we get Garren on after that on sermons,

852
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 2: if your time's right, you.

853
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 4: Know how hammered Garn's going to be if they win

854
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 4: the gold medal on Sunday morning.

855
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,720
Speaker 3: I don't think he's going to be hammered that soon?

856
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 5: Is he?

857
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 4: Right after the game? Well, you have to get hammered

858
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:56,800
Speaker 4: right now? Do you think we could call Taylor Heisei

859
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:00,319
Speaker 4: right now? I'm gustin No, probably not. I mean yeah,

860
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 4: you definitely can't. No, I think Aaron, we could. I

861
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 4: think there's still a shot. We'll see if they lose.

862
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 2: There's no shot, I'm guessing because it's too it'll be

863
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 2: too at that point, too raw, as competitive as he is. Yep,

864
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 2: so I think it would be unlikely. Oh look at this.

865
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 2: We just had two.

866
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:19,439
Speaker 3: Yeah? Two?

867
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: Uh?

868
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 2: The Nordic skiers just combined on the course. Is that

869
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 2: what happens?

870
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:23,919
Speaker 3: Then?

871
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 2: That did not look pleasant? You get up and keep going.

872
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 2: That's what they're doing. Yeah, exactly what they're doing now.

873
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,320
Speaker 2: But is there like I fell again?

874
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 3: Oh? I tell you this snow is not helpful for anybody.

875
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 3: That's too much. He's not happy now can you blame him?

876
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 3: What are the rules on that?

877
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 2: This is the Nordic combined team sprint, which I'm not

878
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 2: gonna lie to. It looks hard, looks brutal, looks taxing,

879
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 2: doesn't it. They're going up the hill right now, like

880
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 2: what they're doing right now? That hill is probably steeper

881
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 2: than it looks. Have you ever tried to go up

882
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 2: a hill on skis. I've never been on skis in

883
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 2: my life. No, it's not easy. Let me tell you

884
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 2: that they're climbing, they're ascending the peak.

885
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 3: You got to angle your seed a blizzard.

886
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 2: It's like a blizzard right now, could barely see. You

887
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:17,399
Speaker 2: think you got to be in good shape there?

888
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 3: Oh, it's brutal.

889
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 2: What kind of shape do you think you have to

890
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 2: be in to be able to pull that off? How

891
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 2: much training, years and years do you have to do?

892
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 3: Don't you? Well?

893
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,839
Speaker 4: You watch I remember watching speaking across Country, like when

894
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 4: Jesse Diggins would win her medals and then they interview

895
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 4: him right after for TV and they're all out of breath.

896
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 4: Why wouldn't they be like, you can't just catch your

897
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 4: out to talk to Andrea Joyce. You need a little

898
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 4: bit of a recovery period. But they don't get it

899
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 4: for the NBC broadcast.

900
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 3: I had one other Olympic story I was looking for

901
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 3: Now I can't find it.

902
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 2: Who is the Wisconsin speed skater with thighs the size

903
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 2: of huge tree trunks?

904
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:55,919
Speaker 3: Yes?

905
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:56,359
Speaker 5: Oh?

906
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 3: Is it Ogden?

907
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 2: Double check? Is it bead Ogden or is it a

908
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 2: different name? Wisconsin speedskater?

909
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 3: Right?

910
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:08,359
Speaker 2: Not Eric Heiden from back in the day, but I

911
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:11,879
Speaker 2: think he got upset in his most recent event, had

912
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:15,320
Speaker 2: to settle for silver am I wrong, Am I?

913
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 3: Am I hallucinating? Did I dream that? Are you thinking

914
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 3: of Jordan's Stoles? Yeah? That's close enough to Ben Hogen,

915
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:23,240
Speaker 3: isn't it? Wellgen, to your defense, was a cross country skier.

916
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 3: That's right. He may have just brought up Maybe that's

917
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 3: what it was. Yeah, you're right. What's the name?

918
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:29,760
Speaker 2: Yeah Stules didn't He just have to settle for silver

919
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 2: in his most recent.

920
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 4: Event, Yes, finished behind Uh, a Chinese skater in the

921
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 4: fifteen hundred.

922
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:41,320
Speaker 2: Meter fifteen hundred. Yeah, so there you have it on

923
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 2: the gold in the thousand, won the silver in the

924
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 2: fifteen hundred. It's a beautiful thing. Is anybody else ever

925
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 2: going to get good in women's Olympic hockey?

926
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 1: Yeah?

927
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 4: I mean you got to remember women's hockey here just

928
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 4: started like thirty years ago. True, So I don't know

929
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 4: if it has caught on world wide quite yet. Nordic

930
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:05,720
Speaker 4: countries maybe best chance yeah, probably, Yeah, like for the men.

931
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 3: More than likely that's the case. That's what I'm hoping for.

932
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:12,799
Speaker 3: All right, let's do this. Let's get a pause in.

933
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 2: We've got much to review from today's very eclectic and

934
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 2: busy program. We'll remind you of some good stuff we

935
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 2: have coming up on tomorrow's show, And how about maybe

936
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:30,799
Speaker 2: we again offer up our official naming of yesterday's snonami

937
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 2: courtesy of our good friend Ryan Donaldson.

938
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 3: Don't Go Away.

939
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,800
Speaker 4: Show Rap is presented by American Pressure Commercial Great Pressure

940
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:47,479

Speaker 3: It's the Bumper to Bumper Show Rap.

942
00:49:55,320 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 5: Snoozami mo.

943
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 2: Will that be our last nonami of the year, that's

944
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 2: the question. It's probably too early to say that because

945
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:16,360
Speaker 2: we generally get a decent amount of snow in March

946
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 2: as well. I want to thank Mike Conley who joined us,

947
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,800
Speaker 2: got reacquainted with us and with the audience.

948
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:25,360
Speaker 3: Feels like he's been gone forever.

949
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 2: It's only been two weeks, but a lot of water

950
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 2: under the bridge, and he talked about the whole process

951
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:35,879
Speaker 2: for him and his family and his thoughts about coming

952
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 2: back to the club, reaction from the players, what he feels,

953
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:44,280
Speaker 2: what he sees as his role, the rest of the way.

954
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,319
Speaker 2: And that was right at the start of the program.

955
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,840
Speaker 2: They said about three ZHO two plenty of Olympic Hockey

956
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 2: conversation after that. In addition, we had Patrick Roycian's studio

957
00:50:56,280 --> 00:51:00,360
Speaker 2: between four and five o'clock today could have gone longer

958
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 2: as it is, went a little bit into the five

959
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 2: podcastable downloadable as well. We name the Snnami more Olympic

960
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 2: Conversation Doctor Dan's Inbox with some outstanding snark today for sure,

961
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:19,720
Speaker 2: and as you mentioned, much of it allegedly centering around

962
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 2: your favorite baseball team, the Minnesota Twins.

963
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 3: Crazy. Yeah, it's nuts.

964
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 2: Well, you know what it is. They're what are they

965
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 2: most in? What way are they most relevant? Right now?

966
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 2: It's for snark. They have great relevance to snark and

967
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 2: that's the calling card of this program from time to time,

968
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 2: So it's called it's it's an audience that knows the

969
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:44,759
Speaker 2: host of the show and a producer who also.

970
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:46,360
Speaker 4: Knows what the host is looking for in terms of

971
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:49,319
Speaker 4: red meat. So it worked out for everybody. And it's

972
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 4: the abyss because of the Olympic break. Yeah, that's true.

973
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 2: So this night by tomorrow and have you talking Snonami

974
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 2: mood again right by tomorrow night or Sunday after the

975
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 2: Wolves weigh an egg Friday night against an undermanned an

976
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 2: outmanned Dallas Club. Right, it's the recipe for us finding

977
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,239
Speaker 2: a way to lose it is it really is.

978
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:13,720
Speaker 3: But maybe the head.

979
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 2: Coach has gotten due to the players to say, okay,

980
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 2: we get it, long season meat grinder, but now it

981
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:23,279
Speaker 2: isn't that long to the finish line.

982
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 3: Right, twenty six games, that's it.

983
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 2: That's you can see the end of the season from

984
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:29,839
Speaker 2: here now, right the end of the regular season. It's

985
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 2: just not the whole thought of it is just not

986
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 2: that crazy at at all. One could say, so tomorrow,

987
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:41,799
Speaker 2: no guestling. Again, I haven't asked him, but we hadn't

988
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 2: really talked about for the week off. I guess we could,

989
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 2: although then I might want to add something. We do

990
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:50,840
Speaker 2: have Lavelle for the second time this week. He scheduled

991
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:55,400
Speaker 2: to join usual time five thirty, and uh, you know

992
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 2: we could maybe.

993
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 3: Yeah. I put in a request to Mitch Lawrence. We

994
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 3: have had shot in a while. Good time to do it.

995
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 3: NBA season restarting? Is it tomorrow? Is anybody playing tonight?

996
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,399
Speaker 3: I don't even know. Yes, Oh, there are some games tonight.

997
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:12,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, there are a lot of games tonight, Okay, all right, Detroit,

998
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 4: New York one of the good ones, Okay, Phoenix, San Antonio, Davy,

999
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 4: there's a bunch, Boston, Golden State, Yeah, it's a prime

1000
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 4: video night, Clippers and the Nuggets. Yeah, a lot of

1001
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 4: teams playing the night. The Wolves open the post All

1002
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:28,840
Speaker 4: Star Break portion of the season in the sixth spot.

1003
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 4: Right now, we are a game behind the Lakers in

1004
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 4: the lost column for the five half game out of

1005
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 4: four game and a half out of time.

1006
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 2: I think I read today, among the top six teams

1007
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 2: in the West, we have the second toughest remaining schedule

1008
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 2: really at leased on paper. Wow, it's not a dramatic

1009
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 2: difference between them and some of the other teams I think.

1010
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:52,879
Speaker 2: I also think we have the fewest number of back

1011
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 2: to back games, for whatever that's worth. You can drive

1012
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 2: yourself crazy. Yes you can find the number. You can

1013
00:53:57,200 --> 00:54:00,720
Speaker 2: find any number that you want, but that the teams

1014
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 2: were playing our were definitely over five hundred overall. I

1015
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:06,799
Speaker 2: don't have the exact schedule in front of me, but

1016
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 2: that's indeed what it indicates. So I'm just gonna be

1017
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 2: glad to have some games going again, just stuff to

1018
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:14,839
Speaker 2: bounce off of, and we got a ways to go

1019
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 2: for when does the when does the wild restart?

1020
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:19,359
Speaker 3: Whill you check the date on that? That's a ways off,

1021
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 3: isn't it. Yeah?

1022
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 2: I think they get a little bit of a break,

1023
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:23,879
Speaker 2: a break on the back end, and then we hit

1024
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 2: the ice running. We're in Colorado, our first game back

1025
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 2: to play the Lange. Correct, that's our first game back,

1026
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,320
Speaker 2: if I'm not mistaken, and that is a week from tonight.

1027
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:35,399
Speaker 2: A week from tonight. Okay, February twenty sixth, Okay, fair enough.

1028
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 2: Has anybody checked in with caprice Soft lately? Is he

1029
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 2: Is he using his off time wisely?

1030
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:43,319
Speaker 3: I haven't.

1031
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:44,799
Speaker 2: I don't even know what you know what that means

1032
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 2: if you haven't seen what mean? Is he training hard

1033
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:49,760
Speaker 2: or is he like, is he in a beach somewhere?

1034
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 2: Probably both? Yeah, that's probably true, probably both. You could

1035
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 2: you could definitely do that. Just looked at a map.

1036
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 2: Wolf Lake, is Indiana is halfway to to Toledo. What

1037
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 2: does that mean exactly from Chicago? And I don't even

1038
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 2: know what that means? Is he making it sound like

1039
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 2: it's further away from Chicago than it really is. I

1040
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 2: don't know, It's not that far. It's a different direction

1041
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 2: that people aren't used to for all the obvious reasons.

1042
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:19,400
Speaker 2: But it's just it's south of the city instead of

1043
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 2: north of the city. Everything you know, The beautiful people

1044
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 2: are North, many of them, There's no question about that.

1045
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 2: But let me tell you something, man. They all have

1046
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 2: their fancy cars, their fancy drivers. They'll find a way

1047
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 2: to get There's one.

1048
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 3: Thing, how many games? How many home games do you have?

1049
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:36,880
Speaker 4: If there's one thing I've learned about living in the

1050
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 4: ritzy suburbs is yeah, they can find a party bus

1051
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:40,800
Speaker 4: to take you anywhere.

1052
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 2: It's not that difficult. I don't think. I don't think

1053
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:43,800
Speaker 2: it would be.

1054
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:45,480
Speaker 3: Now the question would be do they move Hall? What

1055
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:48,840
Speaker 3: about How's Hall? Right? You keep Holase Hall? Probably?

1056
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:50,919
Speaker 2: I think you probably do, because again it's just game

1057
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,360
Speaker 2: day and I guess night before.

1058
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 3: If you deal with.

1059
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 2: A hotel or which could be anywhere, which could be anywhere,

1060
00:55:57,040 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 2: I don't think that can be that should be difficult.

1061
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 2: I forgot give Bridgewater a shot, as in Teddy Bridgewater.

1062
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 3: What are you smoking? I don't think that's that's probably

1063
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 3: I retired like three times.

1064
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 2: Mike Conley, your pleasure, Roy sees a National Treasure, t Pups,

1065
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 2: Moody at their leisure, Wolves and fine Bat. You gotta

1066
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:25,400
Speaker 2: kind of play with the rhymes a little bit. A

1067
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 2: lot of people wanted to, uh, Blake Moore. I'm not

1068
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 2: gonna do that to them. I'm not gonna you know,

1069
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 2: it's just like he's a human being. It's not just

1070
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 2: a symbol for all you, you know, a punching bag

1071
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:39,800
Speaker 2: for all you goofballs out there. Even I have my limits,

1072
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:41,960
Speaker 2: even you, I think have your limits. Yeah, I mean

1073
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 2: I was prepared to do it.

1074
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 3: I don't really know that.

1075
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,040
Speaker 2: I was fine doing sononomy start your ca Well, my

1076
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 2: concern with that was that literally just developed yesterday. And

1077
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:54,799
Speaker 2: then how many you know, do you lose the number

1078
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 2: of people? I know, we never really worry about that.

1079
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:59,240
Speaker 2: I mean, there's they're always in. They're all inside jokes

1080
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:02,400
Speaker 2: to a large degree. But uh, your other idea that

1081
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:03,799
Speaker 2: you get the last one you gave me, I think

1082
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 2: ultimately to me had the greatest staying power, so to speak.

1083
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 2: And still I think was you know, kind of timely.

1084
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 2: Will the Bears be called the Chicago Bears of Indiana?

1085
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 3: Probably could, they could be.

1086
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 2: I think there's still going to be the Chicago Bears,

1087
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 2: just like the New York Giants. They're not the Jersey Giants,

1088
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 2: they're not the Jersey Jets.

1089
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 3: Correct. I don't think there's much.

1090
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 4: When the Pontiac's Silver Doll. They didn't call them the

1091
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 4: Detroit Lions of Pontiacion.

1092
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 2: By the way, Pontiac was a was a hike from Detroit.

1093
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 3: It was awful.

1094
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 2: Was like like two days Detroit Pistons, Auburn Hills. That's

1095
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 2: a suburb, Brian Hills. Yeah, not that far from from

1096
00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:41,959
Speaker 2: Silver the Silver.

1097
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1098
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 4: It's only recently that the Detroit teams have all been

1099
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 4: right in there back, which is awesome.

1100
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 2: It's awesome, and I still think it's the preference. But

1101
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 2: you gotta have a deal. It's too bad the Quickling

1102
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 2: Bowl is no longer. This is a callback to asking

1103
00:57:55,920 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 2: about the possibility of ROYSI being on more often. Can

1104
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:04,960
Speaker 2: we move to can we move Kessler Kami to radio

1105
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 2: to quarterly?

1106
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 3: Wow, that's a shot.

1107
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:14,560
Speaker 2: Dan Minnesota domed over Mike Ditka's roller domed dead body.

1108
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:18,840
Speaker 2: That ship has already sailed Minnesota. They were they won

1109
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 2: a super Bowl, they won a final. Yeah, I mean again,

1110
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 2: I prefer outdoors. I'm with you, that's the tradition. But

1111
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 2: that decision whether it was going to be in Hammond, Indiana, Chicago, Illinois,

1112
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 2: or Arlington Heights, it was going to be one of

1113
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 2: those new super domed structures, allegedly state of the art,

1114
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 2: et cetera, that that ship.

1115
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 3: Had most assuredly sailed.

1116
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 2: Fan of demand is coming up and then it's it's

1117
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 2: a bit time, so it'd be more.

1118
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 5: I haven't heard.

1119
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 2: I would have listened to Dad Patrick in a while.

1120
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:50,480
Speaker 2: Things are still good with him myself. He's doing great, great,

1121
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 2: good super Bowl week like he always does. He's only

1122
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 2: got I think a year and a half left or

1123
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 2: ye oh, that's right, he is twenty eight. And then

1124
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:01,040
Speaker 2: what's he going to do? Whatever he wants? Okay, so

1125
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 2: he will he be out completely, you think, or do

1126
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:04,320
Speaker 2: you think he'll have to dabble?

1127
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know him, so I don't either.

1128
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 4: He said he wants to just go live in Italy

1129
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:10,600
Speaker 4: for a while. Really well, he said, he wants the

1130
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:12,240
Speaker 4: ability to do it. We'll see if it has I

1131
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 4: think he probably has that, that's for sure. Thank you

1132
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:16,680
