Speaker 1: Spots Taggers of the day. Now it's time for Dan

00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: All right, Blake Boar, let's go.

7
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: Time now for the obligatory Kevin Faulness Minnesota.

8
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 3: Wild Mention wild Back in action tonight they take on

9
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 3: the Sharks. You'll hear pregame six forty five, puck chop

10
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 3: at seven. That's why we're out at six fifteen tonight

11
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 3: lines No while set in net they're going back.

12
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: Jstafson. Are we afraid he might be making too much headway?

13
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 2: Is controversy? We obviously don't want one. It's the Max

14
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 2: Brosmer effect. We'll ask Luigi about that at at five thirty.

15
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: Are you was he as good as advertised? Last game?

16
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: He was lights out? He was great. Really, he's a

17
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: that's what we've been waiting for. That's what we envisioned

18
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 2: when we first drafted him. Correct, Yeah, that's a whole bit. Yeah,

19
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 2: and he was drafted as a number one guy. Yes,

20
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: that's true. Hopefully it turns into that. Couple notes on

21
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 2: the defense.

22
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 3: No, Middleton, Bullyam and Faber will be on a deep

23
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 3: aair for I believe the first time you're off still

24
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 3: in the lineup, so some interesting changes. But yeah, that's

25
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 3: the big talkers that Gus Buss is in net against

26
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 3: the Sharks.

27
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: Have we righted the ship enough for your satisfaction? Yet?

28
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 2: What's it going to take for you to come around?

29
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: That's what Fallleus wants to know. I've been very positive

30
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 2: about the team. Oh well, I wouldn't go that far.

31
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 3: No, but they I mean they've won what is it

32
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 3: four out of their last five or something like that.

33
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 3: They're turning it around slowly but surely. And the Zucarello

34
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 3: edition has been that's true, welcome, the eurov edition has

35
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 3: been welcome.

36
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: And then Walst that's playing well as well. So if

37
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 2: the season ended today, would we be outside the playoffs?

38
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: I believe, I believe so.

39
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 4: Yes.

40
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,639
Speaker 2: Actually this season doesn't start today. Well, that's correct.

41
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 3: On two, three, four or five, they're sixth in the

42
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 3: Central Division. There's only eight teams.

43
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 2: By the way, you're getting ripped naturally for not leading

44
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: the top five and five with Monday Night football. They

45
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 2: think it's no accident that you'd be you would have

46
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: led this segment with it if your team had come

47
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: out on top, but that you're going to try to

48
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: ignore it and pretend it didn't happen because of the

49
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: final score.

50
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 3: Not only am I not leading with it, I don't

51
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 3: even have it, you know, of course, isn't that funny?

52
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 2: It's just funny how that works. Are you calling for

53
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: the head coach's head like everybody else is. You think

54
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 2: that's a little strident or a little bit melodramatic or not.

55
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 3: When it's fourth and one and the D line of

56
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 3: the Eagles is calling out what the players about?

57
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 2: That? Yeah, that's not a good sign. I mean, that's

58
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 2: not a good sign.

59
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,399
Speaker 3: You still have to look at the whole body of work,

60
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,119
Speaker 3: and it's a really bad look. And if they don't

61
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 3: turn it around, like if they start losing, I don't know,

62
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 3: if they only win three or four games the rest

63
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 3: of the way, Oh, you're gonna win more than that.

64
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: I don't think you got too good defense. But well,

65
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: that's true what I mentioned at the top of the show.

66
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 2: It's hilarious here. The battle cry is that the head

67
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 2: coach needs to run the ball more. This morning, Dan

68
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: Arlovsky on the Packers said, the biggest problem is your

69
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: head coach always wants to run the ball in second

70
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 2: and ten. So I proposed a trade maybe that if

71
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 2: the two coaches swapped, we would then have a coach

72
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: who respects the run because we want to run a

73
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: little bit more to help protect McCarthy because we ran

74
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 2: so well the last certainly last week and the week before,

75
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: and that we know what koc wants to do. He

76
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: wants to fling it. And Orlovsky basically says, Jordan Love

77
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: needs to be unleashed. So do you agree with that?

78
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: Agree is? I think there are a fear of well,

79
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: then he's just gonna get too reckless and then he's

80
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: gonna start throwing the ball around too much.

81
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think that is when he's flustered

82
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 3: like he was. It's only happened like one or two

83
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 3: times right in his career where he just has the

84
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 3: happy feet all of a sudden.

85
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: Most of the time, it's calm, cool, collective.

86
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 3: Last night he was missing guys because he'd give up

87
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 3: on it because the whole line was just getting plowed

88
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 3: all night. So yeah, I still like Jordan Love and

89
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 3: I'm questioning Lafleur if he doesn't turn around.

90
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 2: But the good news is coaches had the last word.

91
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 2: They usually do. Yeah, I wasn't even going to bring

92
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: that up, but there's out there now. Can't take it back.

93
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 3: You know, Wolves, they get the Let's see the Kings

94
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 3: at home in the NBA Cup Groups eighty of your

95
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 3: favorite thing.

96
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: That's Friday.

97
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 3: They're coming off another win against the Jazz, not quite

98
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 3: as dominant as the previous one, which that game was

99
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 3: over by the first quarter.

100
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: Maybe that one was done.

101
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 3: Still, Anthony Edwards led the way thirty five points and

102
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 3: thirty eight minutes.

103
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 2: That's pretty good. Edward was playing is after that first

104
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 2: game where he was very shaky and had ay think

105
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: like a minus fifty, he's looked very good, very much

106
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: in control. I like, you know, we were talking to Mitch.

107
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: Mitch said, I'm not sure you could be a championship

108
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 2: team at Julius. Randall's your second best player. He might

109
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: be right. I do think Randall's playing really well. I

110
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 2: think he's gotten off to a very good start. Their issue,

111
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 2: you know, their offense is pretty damn good right now.

112
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 2: The issue is the defense is still nowhere near what

113
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 2: it was supposed to be. And again, we've taken, to

114
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 2: our credit full advantage of a very soft schedule lately, right,

115
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 2: they've they've dominated in that sense. You can never complain

116
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 2: about that because the complaint with this team before was

117
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 2: they played down to the level of their competition. But

118
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 2: I think we're going to learn a lot more once

119
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 2: we start playing better teams.

120
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,239
Speaker 3: So it's kind of a two for one talker here,

121
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 3: the Vikings and the Packers that lose the battle for

122
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 3: Sante Samuel Jr. He joins the Steelers on the practice squad.

123
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 3: So not too long ago, the Vikings signed cornerback Shamar Bartholomele.

124
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 3: But Bartholomew Bartholomew under much about him, Yeah, undrafted signing

125
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 3: by the Jets, and twenty twenty four, he made five

126
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 3: appearances for the Panthers. Last year, accord three tackles, fin

127
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 3: in two passes, playing seventeen snaps. So he is a

128
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 3: quarterback that lives and breathes these airs and can apparently

129
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 3: play foot.

130
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 2: By the way, the Giants dismissed Dable, right, Brian Abel

131
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 2: and I assume that means because this is the way

132
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 2: it works. There is a very reckless speculation about whether

133
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 2: Bill Parcells could end up back in New York, even

134
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 2: though now all he does is win. Isn't he won

135
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: like three in a row or three out of four

136
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 2: after a very bad start to the season. I'm assuming

137
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 2: that's just automatic that there's going to be a speculation.

138
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: Whether there be any truth to it, I have absolutely

139
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: no idea. But if that hasn't started yet, it will

140
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 2: start very very soon. Eighty four years old Bill Parcells?

141
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 2: Is he literally eighty four? Yeah? Eighty four? Are you

142
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 2: sure that's what I'm looking at? That's a big deal.

143
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 2: The week just say eighty four? Who's doing fine? You

144
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 2: know who's to say?

145
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 3: Let's see the other big talker of the day GM

146
00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 3: for the Mavericks.

147
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 2: Finally the fans got their way.

148
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 3: He's out, so Nico, the chance worked and they're going

149
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 3: to look forward to But the writing was on the

150
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 3: wall basically when Luca got traded, that this wasn't going away.

151
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 3: It wasn't just ad it'll blow over. People are pissed

152
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 3: until it happened.

153
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean. The the weird thing about it is

154
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: sometimes people are stupid and to expect that the Mavericks

155
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 2: with their two best players out hurt, We're going to

156
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 2: start the season any better than they did is ludicrous

157
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 2: to me. On the other hand, it's hard to take

158
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 2: the GM off the hook when one of those players

159
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 2: has spent that you you traded for when you traded

160
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 2: away Luca is as injured as he is, and I

161
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 2: think that's ultimately the eight ball that I don't think

162
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 2: this general manager was going to be able to get

163
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 2: from behind. I don't think so. There's an inevitability to it,

164
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 2: even if I think the timing's goofy, because if your

165
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 2: top two players are out hurt, at least I think

166
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: they have one of their big men has been in

167
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 2: and out because of injury as well. I don't know

168
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: what people expected this early in the season. You could

169
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 2: make the argument, well, wait at least until you get

170
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 2: everybody back and then you can judge. But maybe from

171
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 2: a pr standpoint, it reached a point of no return.

172
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 2: But we're back to if the owner in effect demands

173
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: that you trade away Luca because he doesn't want to

174
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: pay him that contract, you're obliged to do it. I

175
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 2: don't think there's anybody out there who feels like you

176
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 2: maximized what you could have done if you had to

177
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: make the move that nobody thinks you should have made,

178
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: which was to trade Luco away. There you have it.

179
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 2: There's a tough five bonus bucks. Yes the Fanto two

180
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 2: minute a junk truck.

181
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 3: Want to give you a shot to win those bonus

182
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 3: bucks in the National Cash contest at a cafe dot com.

183
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 2: Keyword money, keyword money. I think the problem is I

184
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 2: said parcels and I met Bill Belichick as I say,

185
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 2: bar Yeah, Parcels is eighty four, parcells is eighty four. Yeah,

186
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 2: he's done. Bill Belichick was the guy. Now there probably

187
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 2: is some Parcelles speculation because he's beloved in New York. Belichick'

188
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 2: seventy belly at seventy three that I was thinking belly

189
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 2: when you said eighty four. But unfortunately I confused you

190
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: because I often say parcels when I think Belichick. I

191
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 2: don't exactly known. Yeah, that's that's for damn sure. All right,

192
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 2: we got a quickie segment to get in, some text

193
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 2: to look at, and then we will prepare for Luigi

194
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: at five thirty five. Questions for him hit the bratch

195
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 2: on Brian Caffe in text line now six four six

196
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 2: eighty six. Have you headed to the Sunday's divisional till well?

197
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 3: You can come find your S three team on the

198
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 3: plaza outside US Banks Stadium. Ask how you can enter

199
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 3: your shot at Papa Murphy's Game day meal deals for

200
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 3: a year and check out kfa n dot com keyword

201
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 3: calendar for all the details.

202
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 2: As I mentioned, Luigi coming up pretty soon. We're out

203
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 2: at six fifteen for Minnesota Wild Hockey quickly.

204
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 4: This is the.

205
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 2: You can argue that this done as item is more

206
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 2: a Memorial Day story than a Veteran's Day story, but

207
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 2: I think they're all very closely connected, and I find

208
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 2: it just pathetic and rather scary. The US government has

209
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 2: quietly removed a memorial to black soldiers who died in

210
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 2: World War Two from the Netherlands American Cemetery area in Margrotten,

211
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 2: South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right

212
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 2: wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monument's Commission. Some

213
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 2: dispute over whether the exhibit panels were removed or rotated

214
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 2: out for display again in the future. Regardless, the Dutch

215
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 2: are extremely angry. Let me get to the rest of

216
00:10:51,080 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 2: the thread. The Dutch newspaper reports. The two moromoryal panels

217
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 2: installed at the NAC were removed sometime earlier this year.

218
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 2: They commemorated African American soldiers who helped liberate Europe from

219
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 2: German occupation during World War II. One of the two

220
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 2: panels described how a million African Americans volunteered for service

221
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 2: during World War Two but had to fight against both

222
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 2: the enemy and racism, not to mention segregation on their

223
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 2: own side, including segregation within the army itself that confined

224
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 2: many to supporting roles. One of those roles was burying

225
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 2: the dead, a highly traumatic duty as many of the

226
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 2: bodies were severely mutilated. Cemetery was constructed by the nine

227
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 2: hundred and sixtieth Quartermaster Service Company, an all black unit

228
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 2: of two hundred and sixty men under the command of

229
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 2: a white officer, as was usual. Side of the cemetery

230
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: established by Captain Joseph Schoman, the head of the sixth

231
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 2: eleventh Graves Registration Company, while the task of digging it

232
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 2: and burying the bodies was given to the nine hundred

233
00:11:54,679 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 2: and sixtieth QMSC. During September November of nineteen hundred and

234
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 2: forty four, first Sergeant Jefferson Wiggins oversaw the work and

235
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 2: later recalled that when the men arrived, they were confronted

236
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 2: with the site of thousands of dead bodies lying on

237
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 2: a tarp. There were no coffins, so the bodies had

238
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 2: to be tied up in mattress covers, where the men

239
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 2: dug graves. The grave digging so traumatizing that no one

240
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 2: talked during the day except for the few who would

241
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 2: pray over the graves and some who quietly cried. So

242
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 2: there we were a group of black Americans confronted with

243
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 2: all these dead white Americans when they were alive. We

244
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 2: couldn't sit in the same room. And as somebody pointed out,

245
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 2: apparently it was woke or considered woke to honor dead

246
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 2: black servicemen of World War Two who fought both the

247
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: Germans and the fact that they were segregated by their

248
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 2: own service. We've talked about woke on this show for many,

249
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 2: many years. We have mocked it. We've done as a

250
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 2: society it from time to time. This is history. This

251
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 2: has nothing to do with woke. The idea that anybody

252
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 2: offered up any sort of resistance to a part of

253
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 2: our history is disgusting and it falls into the classification

254
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 2: of we're gonna we're changing everything, We're going to take

255
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 2: away all the woke stuff. This ain't it. This is

256
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 2: not an example of that, because that was then, and

257
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 2: that was the reality then. And so to pretend that

258
00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 2: there is something to dei about acknowledging what took place

259
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 2: during World War two, the sacrifices that were made, and

260
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 2: to make a special memorial or discussion of what one

261
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 2: racial group did to contribute to ultimate victory in World

262
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 2: War Two is missing the thread entirely of whatever crusade

263
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: you might have on the issue of wokeism just moronic, stupid,

264
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 2: and defeats the purpose of whatever you think you're whatever

265
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 2: point you think you are attempting to make, falls under

266
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 2: the classification of utterly unnecessary and really a disgrace and

267
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 2: a lack of respect shown to those individuals who suffered

268
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 2: the way they did and were in a position where

269
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 2: they were still perfectly willing to serve the country, serve

270
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 2: a country, knowing that in many parts of the country,

271
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 2: especially the South, when they got back home, they were

272
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 2: going to be facing segregation again. So fight all your

273
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 2: battles on woke ism, and we've fought him occasionally. Here

274
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 2: we've mocked a number of examples, especially if things going

275
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 2: on on college campuses today, this is American history. To

276
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 2: pretend to deny it or say, well, we should no

277
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 2: longer make an issue of this, it's just flat out wrong.

278
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 2: It's a bad example. I'm not surprised, not at all surprised.

279
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 2: I wouldn't all be surprised at all if Pete hegseth

280
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 2: Is is at least partially, if not totally behind, it

281
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 2: wouldn't shock me in the least. Because he thinks he's

282
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 2: on a crusade. He doesn't have the ability to distinguish

283
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 2: between stuff that might be worthy of reconsideration and this

284
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: it's an affront. It's every American, whether you consider yourself

285
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 2: woke or not, should be embarrassed and a shame by

286
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 2: the whole thing. Let's take a pause. We'll come back.

287
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 2: Let's talk to Luigi Blue Nanny Hockey conversation about your

288
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 2: red hot mess in a while.

289
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: Next time, Now for the Vikings Report on the Fan,

290
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: presented by Miller Lte. Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen joins

Speaker 5: Next Seas Around the World Ride in the World.

293
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 2: Nanny, we are about to find out. Brought to you

294

00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 2: this Hawaii? Is this a Wahu week? Or do I

296
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 2: have the wrong week?

297
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, it's a long week. Where him at the

298
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 4: Royal Hawaiian Historic beautiful day looking out at the ocean

299
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 4: with a lot of people in the water, and I

300
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 4: gotta go to the airport back to Florida right after

301
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 4: you and I are done here.

302

Speaker 2: Well we'll fin We'll get you out no later in

303
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 2: fifty five because I know you need to make a move,

304
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 2: so we'll definitely do that. I will tell you this

305
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 2: is how. I don't know if this will be classified

306
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 2: as sick or not. About two or three times a day,

307
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 2: I have via my computer a link that I look

308
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:30,719
Speaker 2: at of two visual two cameras. I guess one of

309
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 2: them overlooks the Royal Hawaiian and Waikiki Beach and I

310
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 2: just look at it. I just look at people on

311
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 2: the beach, I look at the sun, I look at

312
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 2: Diamond Head. And then the other one is from the

313
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 2: way last section of Maui over the Marriott Hotel. I

314
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 2: do this every day. Is that does that make me sick?

315
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 4: Do you think No, that makes you smart to makes

316
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 4: very aware of what's going on and it is and

317
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 4: do you have time to go? You gotta go.

318
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's the beauty of it for sure. Good weather.

319
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 2: Has it been a good good visit.

320
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's four days, but it's been quick ending. It's

321
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 4: eighty two to eighty four every day this time of

322
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 4: the year. You might get a slight drizzle in the

323
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 4: afternoon every now and then, but it doesn't last long

324
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 4: and it's nothing that you can't walk through without basically

325
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 4: getting wet. It's been real good. It's a conference I

326
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 4: come to all the time. There's about eight thousand trusteesier,

327
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 4: so it's very busy, but sensation. Every time I come here,

328
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 4: I say the same thing. It's a long way to go,

329
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 4: but it's worth every minute.

330
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 2: And the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, I think that was I mean,

331
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 2: that's historic right, that's been there forever. Was built I

332
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 2: believe in nineteen twenty seven and might be the day

333
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 2: at first. I mean you see the stars where there

334
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 2: ain't nothing else around it. That was the hotel.

335
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 4: It's just a spectacular location when you're held a luau here,

336
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 4: when you walk through the lobby and out towards the ocean.

337
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 4: That's where the lua was. The stage was set there,

338
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 4: the dancers in the back. It was a full moon

339
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 4: that night. Yeah, and they had a party, so there's

340
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 4: a lot of people. And at the end of the party,

341
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 4: this elderly couple, uh not jere and I am now,

342
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 4: but probably in their seventies. But they walked up to

343
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 4: me and jesays Louis, we just want to tell you,

344
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 4: this is the best day of our life. I'll never

345
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 4: forget that.

346
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 2: That's it. Yeah, I believe it all right. So are

347
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 2: we gonna have a goalie controversy soon? I guess we've

348
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 2: gone back to our starter tonight after a tremendous walste performance.

349
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 2: Did you get to see it or were you? You know,

350
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 2: at the time, difference and everything is at too hard.

351
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 4: Oh no, I'm earlier than that exerts of it. But

352
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 4: to me, it's not even a controversy. I was just

353
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 4: surprised that they hadn't put Walstead in earlier during that

354
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 4: string that Gus is going because if you remember correctly,

355
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 4: Walstead's first three games, he was getting points, and he

356
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 4: was he was looking good and and if you have

357
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 4: a guy going like that, do you think that dude,

358
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 4: you might have even got him in there a little

359
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 4: sooner and balance it off a little more. So he's

360
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 4: got to put Gus in tonight otherwise it's going to

361
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 4: be a long time between games for him. Yeah, and

362
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 4: and and when they're you know, when you got the

363
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 4: other guy doing that, you can you can do a

364
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 4: little right here with with the other guy as well

365
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 4: and keep the games almost equal. So you have to

366
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 4: separate for some reason or other. But with the kind

367
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 4: of schedule you got going a lot of travel, a

368
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 4: lot of back to backs, he might as well get

369
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 4: as much out of each of them as you can.

370
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 2: No no question about that. If you have questions for Louis,

371
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 2: Will will have some time to get a few of

372
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 2: those in the brat Shawn Bryan Cafe and text line,

373
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 2: as most of you know by now, is six four

374
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 2: six eight six. So because if you go back to

375
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 2: Walstead from the beginning and when we first got him,

376
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 2: I mean he was projected did right as a guy,

377
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 2: had a chance to be clearly a number one goaltender right,

378
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 2: and he's had some ups and downs, has not been

379
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 2: a straight line up from there, But I think that's

380
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 2: a little of what we seem to see career high

381
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 2: thirty six save performance in the two nothing victory over

382
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 2: the Flames. That's what you're looking for, correct.

383
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 4: Yep, And you're right when you said it, But it's ranking.

384
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 4: When he was getting drafted at that time, he was

385
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,719
Speaker 4: ranked as the best goaltender in the world that was

386
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 4: coming into the draft, and you know you're seventeen turning

387
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 4: eighteen at that time, and you're going to go through

388
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 4: some some ups and downs when you're that young. I

389
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 4: remember bout Pray. We drafted baut Prade eighteen. He had

390
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 4: a great first year, he slumped a little second year.

391
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 4: After that he was terrific again and for a long time.

392
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 4: He played a long time, and these goaltenders are no

393
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 4: different other players. There's going to be time it's going

394
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 4: to look very strong and there's going to be some

395
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 4: soft spots, but you go right right right through him.

396
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 4: And that goes for the other kids on the wild

397
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 4: roster right now. That's why I'm glad they put you're

398
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 4: up back. And I was talking about that before when

399
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 4: he set up four games a ow, I don't think

400
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 4: you got to do that. You can't you can't keep

401
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 4: a young kid like that, really, that kind of talent

402
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 4: out of the lineup that much. The only thing you

403
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 4: could do is hurt him. You can't help him saying, oh,

404
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 4: he's learning by watching the game. No, you learn by

405
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 4: being on the ice. He could pick up things watching

406
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 4: the game, but he's got to be playing. He can't

407
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 4: be sitting. If you don't want him there, you put

408
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 4: him in the miners. But there was no he hadn't

409
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 4: shown any reason why he should be down to the minors.

410
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 2: We as I said, we'll take some questions from the audience.

411
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 2: Hockey and pretty much any level at six four, six,

412
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 2: eight six, for sure we get. I mean this is

413
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 2: coming up. I think I know your answer to this question,

414
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 2: but I'll still ask it because there's interest out there

415
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 2: and there's people who care and as part of the

416
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 2: reason that they that they guess addressed this stuff. But

417
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 2: this comes in from nine to five to two. Guy

418
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 2: regarding goal to go for men's hockey, and he wants

419
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 2: to know whether the head coach is in any way,

420
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 2: shape or form on the hot seat this year.

421
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 4: No, I you know you've been to Frozen four, you've

422
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 4: been to the semifinals, you've been essentially a strong playoff

423
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 4: team for a number of years. You're not gonna all

424
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 4: of a sudden because you have a down year year

425
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 4: when you're retooling being a hot seat. So the only

426
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 4: way he wouldn't be coaching next year is if you

427
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 4: wanted to retire for some reason.

428
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 2: As we're how much I mean, are you encouraged. We're

429
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 2: obviously getting healthier. That's part of the story too, and

430
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,239
Speaker 2: we all know who Capriestov likes to play with, So

431
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 2: I mean, how much does that, I guess encourage you

432
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 2: that the wild could be here starting a stretch where

433
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 2: maybe they can get well, not just in terms of

434
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 2: their health, but in terms of the standings.

435
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 4: Well, that's a perfect point because you got him back

436
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 4: in the lineup, and you got real good as you know,

437
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 4: play between those two all the time. It allows you

438
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 4: to just move players around on the other three lines.

439
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 4: And now you've got I think you've got a real

440
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 4: good four line matchup right now that they can go

441
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 4: against any team, and a defense is playing better and

442
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 4: the goaltending we're getting goaltending from Walstead too, So you

443
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 4: are certainly in a position where you could you could

444
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 4: make a run. They got a tough game tonight against

445
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 4: the Sharks. The Sharks are playing season well. And if

446
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 4: you look, I think there's I want to say, there's

447
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 4: at least thirteen teams that are bunched up in a playoff,

448
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 4: even though it's early. But you still have to look

449
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 4: that way because you have to make sure you don't

450
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 4: fall right out of it. But there's thirteen teams in

451
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 4: a position freight positions, and when you look at that,

452
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 4: they still have to climb up and be a little

453
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 4: stronger position. But at least they got the five hundred

454
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 4: now and now you can start moving. But you have

455
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 4: to be much happier about the balance in that lineup

456
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 4: that you're seeing tonight and you'd seen earlier in the

457
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 4: year because you could essentially see holves in the forward

458
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 4: lines and on the defense, and now they seem to

459
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 4: be getting resolved with the fact that they're getting healthy.

460
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 2: What do you think it is? Why do Zucarello and

461
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 2: Caprisos seem to have such good chemistry?

462
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 4: What's that about their mind? The way they think the game,

463
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 4: the way they see the game, the anticipation that they have.

464
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 4: If you were to say, who's got the best field

465
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 4: for hockey in those lamps, it would be those two

466
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 4: because they're so far ahead of the play. They are

467
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 4: thinking ahead of the play, the play that you're expecting.

468
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 4: Now they're another play ahead of you. They're seeing that,

469
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 4: and they're seeing the next thing after that. That's why

470
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 4: they find themselves and are able to get themselves in

471
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 4: open positions and move pucks so quickly because their anticipation

472
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 4: is at a level that very few people get to.

473
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 2: Dry Heat Guy checked in much earlier in the show

474
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 2: Longtime Hockey Guy. Can you ask Louis about the skyrocketing

475
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 2: prices of hockey equipment, especially sticks and skates. Bauer's newest

476
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 2: top of the line stick costs four hundred and fifteen bucks,

477
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 2: and like all composite sticks, it isn't even guaranteed to

478
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 2: last one game. This causes fewer kids to play hockey,

479
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 2: is bad for the future of the sport. Both Bauer

480
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 2: and CCM were acquired by private equity firms last year,

481
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 2: driving the prices up even further. What do you know

482
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 2: about all that?

483
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,719
Speaker 4: I know that he's right, and it's something that I

484
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 4: just can't believe. I look at how often the kids

485
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 4: are on the ice, how much do they play, and

486
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 4: how fast they're growing, and then you started thinking this

487
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 4: is going to cost this much more, that much more.

488
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 4: And he's right about the sticks. I don't know how

489
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 4: these kids even use a composite stick because they will

490
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,239
Speaker 4: break it that fast. I'm not so certain that I

491
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 4: know they still makes wooden sticks. And I'm not so

492
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 4: certain that if I had, you know, my son's playing

493
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 4: again now right now, until they're about fourteen, maybe fifteen,

494
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:31,239
Speaker 4: I'd be making them use wooden sticks. These things are

495
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 4: breaking too fast, and the skates cost a fortune. On

496
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 4: top of that. I don't know how people are able

497
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 4: to afford that, And that's one of the things that

498
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 4: hurts the growth of hockey. And that's why the NHL

499
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 4: started an missive. USA Hockey jumped in to try and

500
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 4: give kids equipment for their first year in hockey, maybe

501
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 4: first couple by now, and just start them off in

502
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 4: the game and see if they like it and then

503
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 4: see if there was a way that they can continue play.

504
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 2: Well, not that you need any more business or any

505
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 2: more money, but I've always envisioned you as the perfect

506
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 2: guy to be the spokesperson to start a stick revolution.

507
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 2: You know, some company you hook up with some company

508
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 2: as their big time public face and endorser to say no, no, no,

509
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 2: we're going to get you a good stick, a responsible stick,

510
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 2: at a better price, and we're going to start a

511
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 2: hockey revolution. You'd be perfect for that, wouldn't you?

512
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 4: Well thought that I want to start it. But I

513
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 4: will tell you two weeks ago, when I was back

514
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 4: in the Twin Cities, I went to the Scuttie back

515
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 4: as this equipment for kids they sell to all the

516
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 4: high schools. And one of the things that he had

517
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 4: in there, and Andrew Hyde was taking me around, was

518
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 4: wooden stick. And I said, if you got the Northland,

519
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 4: if you've got the Sherebrook, and he was showing me

520
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 4: different lines that they have that they can sell, and

521
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 4: I said, at that time, as you got to push these,

522
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 4: you got you gotta have these kids use this. You

523
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,239
Speaker 4: know they could save so much money right there right

524
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 4: and frankly, and I know I'm probably wrong, but I

525
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 4: grab a hold of a composite stick, and I grab

526
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 4: a whole of a wooden stick. I still like the

527
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 4: wooden stick better. I you know, I don't like the composites.

528
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 4: The shafts are so narrow, and I had such a big,

529
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 4: big handle on my stick. It was so thick. I

530
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,479
Speaker 4: think only Ken Douglas was the only one that had

531
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 4: been bigger than me. In fact, before the Game's Great

532
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 4: Cameron used to pick up my stick, I got to

533
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 4: loosen up, and he'd be doing like weightlifting with my stick.

534
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 4: But at least they last, yeah, right, and they don't

535
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 4: have to be that bigger, that heavy. But the wood

536
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 4: does last longer than the composite.

537
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 2: With the modern transfer portal, hold on, let me scroll

538
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 2: down here with the man the modern transfer portal, especially

539
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 2: with the scol like Minnesota with their advantages, is saying

540
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 2: it's a retooling here a year, I should say, a

541
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 2: retooling year really a legitimate excuse.

542
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 4: What do you think, Well, when you lose eleven guys

543
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 4: and you put eleven back in, I think it's a

544
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 4: pretty good excuse. I try and go and get eleven

545
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 4: of the kind of talented players you lose. In fact,

546
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 4: one of the guys would that they had. Last night

547
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 4: he got a hat trick for Nashville. He was there

548
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 4: last year. Oliver Moore two days ago got his first

549
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 4: goal for the Blackhawks. He was here last year. Brenzel

550
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 4: dresses every game for Chicago and the back end I

551
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 4: can go on wrong. They lost some quality guys and

552
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 4: they were sophomores and juniors, and you don't replace him

553
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 4: with freshmen. And for the most part, fortunately they got LG.

554
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 4: Cooney there. He looks like he's going to be a

555
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 4: tremendous kid. He's becausin of coolies and he's been great.

556
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 4: But and he got some other guys that are talented.

557
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 4: But it takes time. It takes time to make ice.

558
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 4: It's just like guys going to the NHL at the

559
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 4: eight times to come into the lineup. You might have

560
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 4: dominated the college or juniors or even the americanly, but

561
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 4: that doesn't mean you're going to dominate when you get

562
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 4: into the NHL.

563
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 2: What is or who which team for you is the

564
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 2: biggest surprise to the good or the bad? So far,

565
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 2: this young, well not so young anymore. National Hockey League season.

566
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 4: Uh well, Anaheim Ducks, I'd say, I mean Anaheim really

567
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 4: looks they look real good. And they got a couple

568
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 4: of players that are like everybody talks about celebrating Madard,

569
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 4: but Leo Carlson in the middle there, he's he's scoring

570
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 4: right with him and he's six foot three. Probably he's

571
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 4: a big centiment from Sweden. He was actually drafted number two.

572
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 4: Ever he thought he was going to go three to

573
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 4: the year that he came out a couple of years ago,

574
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 4: but and he gotgotiated. They made that tree with Philly's

575
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 4: got eleven goals that they're up there and leacom on defense.

576
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 4: It played with the golfers a few years ago and

577
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 4: he signed a huge car on track. He's been very productive.

578
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 4: I think, you know, the surprises, like the sharks, Canadians

579
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 4: are doing exceedingly well. But overall and I just seemed

580
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 4: to they've made quite a jumped thus far, and I

581
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 4: don't see any reason why they're going to slow down.

582
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough. Are you worried about you? You know,

583
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 2: because there's the the aviation industry has kind of been

584
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 2: on tilt. Even though we might have finally an end

585
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 2: of the shutdown, there's a lot of, uh, you know,

586
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 2: those flights that have been either canceled or or delayed

587
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 2: or postponed and so forth. So I know you probably

588
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 2: have special dispensation getting to the airport. But is everything

589
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 2: gone any good for you in that regard? Have you

590
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 2: gotten caught up in any of that, any of the matters.

591
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 4: Fortunately. I mean, this is a long flick to from Florida.

592
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 4: It's nine and a half hours just from a lot

593
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 4: to Honolulu. But the one thing about the airlines, they said,

594
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 4: and it seems that they're doing this the long flights,

595
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 4: the flights out of the country or out of the domestic

596
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 4: US are all. You know, they've been on time. There

597
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 4: haven't been any slow downs. It's a connection you have

598
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 4: to worry about. But at this point, I've been checking

599
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 4: connections from Atlanta to the beach every day and they've been

600
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 4: everything's been going through.

601
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 2: Everything's good, that's that's outstanding. Where are you going to

602
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 2: be next week?

603
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 4: Next week, I'll be yes Tuesday, Florida.

604
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 2: You'll be back in Florida.

605
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 4: Okay, be back in Florida, beautiful.

606
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 2: All right, We'll let you go early because I know

607
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,479
Speaker 2: you got to get you want to make sure you

608
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 2: get you get out of here, out of their on time. Oh,

609
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 2: there's there's worse places to get stuck for an extra day,

610
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 2: you know.

611
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 4: I mean, I know that that's the one thing that

612
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 4: I was seeing. Ax. Well, you don't want if I

613
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 4: get stuck, your big deal. I got stuck here. But

614
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 4: it's it's not like some other person I was thinking about.

615
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 4: I'll take a train. I'll take it, yes, car whatever,

616
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 4: I'll sit right here and ain't.

617
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 2: Nothing wrong with that. Safe travels back to the mainland.

618
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 2: Great stuff is always Thanks again, we'll talk next week.

619
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 2: That is lou Nanny out a little bit early today

620
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 2: to catch a flight to come back to the continental

621
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 2: United States. A couple people are saying, I don't know

622
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:15,720
Speaker 2: how to break it to you, guys, but the wooden

623
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 2: sticks just ain't gonna work, basically saying that the composite

624
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:25,240
Speaker 2: six are so much lighter that the kids just don't

625
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 2: like the wooden sticks, which may well be true. I'm

626
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 2: not a great hockey stick mine. I don't know if

627
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 2: you are, Blake Moore, that probably makes sense. I don't

628
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 2: know what the right answer there is. You know, I

629
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 2: harken back to and I don't know how successful this

630
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 2: campaign was. Do you remember? We probably don't because you're

631
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 2: too young. But once upon a time the Timberwolves had

632
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 2: a highly coveted, highly regarded player It didn't work out

633
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 2: here by the name of Stefan Marbury. And years later

634
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,240
Speaker 2: Marbury started because you know, if you're you're an athlete

635
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 2: with some renowned you got to have a shoe, right,

636
00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 2: you got to have some kind of sporting good deal.

637
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 2: And his was a shoe. And the bit was, we're

638
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 2: not gonna we're not gonna try to to to you know,

639
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 2: compete with the air Jordan's. We're gonna make lead a

640
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 2: less expensive shoe that's still damn good and that's that's

641
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 2: that's damned attractive. We're going to try to go more

642
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 2: for the blue collar approach. And I always thought it

643
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 2: was an excellent idea. Now I don't know if it worked.

644
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 2: I have no idea. I didn't know if that shoe

645
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 2: still exists. But to me, if you got smart people,

646
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 2: there's always a way out of that box. And I

647
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 2: almost think a market that would be rooting for you

648
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 2: to you know, get stuff done and and to give

649
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 2: individuals an alternative because you know, sports is becoming more

650
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 2: and more expensive at the youth level, and probably there

651
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 2: is no sport. I don't know think there's any sport

652
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,919
Speaker 2: that's as expensive as hockey, right. We we've talked about

653
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 2: that over the decades. That's that's always been the case

654
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 2: to a degree. And I feel like that's gotten worse

655
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 2: and worse. So my guess is, I don't even know.

656
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 2: I think the step shoe was called and was it

657
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 2: called and one? I want to say it was and

658
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 2: one was his line, and I think for a while

659
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 2: it did. Okay, I just don't know that. I don't

660
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 2: even know if it still exists at this point of

661
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 2: the Starberry, Oh Starberry Okay, maybe I think maybe and

662
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 2: one was the company. I'm not sure anyway, because we

663
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 2: get these every few weeks, when especially when Louis is

664
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 2: on people just saying that even by you know, old standards,

665
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,359
Speaker 2: that the price that that it's so expensive to keep

666
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 2: your kid in hockey, more expensive than it has ever

667
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:47,439
Speaker 2: been before. And so, you know, I mean, what else

668
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 2: do we have here? Before I tell you what, Let's

669
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 2: just get a little ahead of it. We'll break because

670
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 2: we've only got one segment left, four Minnesota, I should say,

671
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 2: wild Hockey that is going to be coming up, so

672
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 2: we'll be out at six fifteen. We'll get to a

673
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 2: couple of texts, maybe a couple of other vikings related controversies,

674
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 2: maybe one more gambling controversy before we wrap things up

675
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 2: at six fifteen. It's the bumper to bumpers show rap'spot

676
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 2: to by American pressure. I don't know if we mentioned

677
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 2: this Sunday. Did we talk about the sixth former Division

678
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 2: one men's basketball players permanently now permanently ineligible after investigations

679
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 2: found they tried to fix games. I don't remember if

680
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 2: we did, but even if we did, it's worth mentioned again.

681
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 2: Three former players from New Orleans, two fro Mississippi Valley State,

682
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:45,280
Speaker 2: one from Arizona State banned as a result of the investigations.

683
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 2: And I know we didn't talk, and I intended to

684
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 2: get to this earlier. You know, two Cleveland Guardians pitchers

685
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 2: now have been indicted on charges that they took bribes

686
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,760
Speaker 2: from sports betters to throw certain types of pitches, including

687
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 2: top including including tossing balls in the dirt instead of

688
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 2: strikes to ensure successful bets. Manual Emmanuel Classe and Luis

689
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 2: Ortez indicted the I think the indictment was unsealed on

690
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 2: Sunday in federal court in Brooklyn that alleges that they

691
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 2: took several thousand dollars in payoffs to help two unnamed

692
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 2: gamblers from their native Dominican Republic win at least four

693
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:30,280
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty thousand dollars on in game prep bots,

694
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 2: bets they should say on the speed and outcome of

695
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 2: certain pitches. Ortiz's lawyer said his client was innocent, has

696
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 2: never and would never improperly influence the game. I think

697
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 2: Classes has said pretty much their defense team and said

698
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 2: they had that there's that they had previously documented for

699
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 2: prosecutors that the payments and money transfers between him and

700
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 2: individuals and the Dominican Republic were for lawful activities, but

701
00:38:56,239 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 2: the details are pretty damning at least of pursuit for sure.

702
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 2: This is one that got my attention and may The

703
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 2: indictment said Class agreed to throw a ball at a

704
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 2: certain point in the game against the Dodgers, but the

705
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 2: batter swung, resulting in a strike, costing the betters four

706
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 2: thousand dollars in wagers. After the game, which the Guardians won,

707
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 2: Class sent text messages to one of the betters with

708
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 2: images of a man hanging himself with toilet paper and

709
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 2: a sad puppy dog face. The indictment said Diamond also

710
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,399
Speaker 2: sided specific pitches. Classe Original allegedly rigged all of them

711
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 2: first pitches when he entered to start in any I mean,

712
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 2: you could even bet I know betters know this, but

713
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 2: you can bet on the velocity the over and under

714
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 2: on the velocity of a specific pitch, which frightens me

715
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 2: for anybody who feels a great entertainment value of doing it.

716
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 2: But I guess it's a free country. So these stories

717
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 2: are you feel like the prolific rating, They're really not

718
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 2: in that. You know, the class A stuff goes back

719
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 2: to the summer and the and the college basketball story

720
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 2: is like three years old. But what we're finding now

721
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 2: is resolution in these cases or determinations being made, and

722
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 2: there's still a feeling I think the only is it

723
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 2: fair to say that only your sport is the only

724
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 2: one that has not yet been tainted by one of

725
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 2: these hockey thing It'd be the hardest one to do,

726
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 2: probably right, But there are prop bets exist in hockey.

727
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 2: Sure they have to, right, But I I don't so far,

728
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 2: I don't remember a major scandal involving National Hockey League

729
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 2: players fullness, not yet anyway, So maybe it's the purest

730
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 2: hockey players. Maybe it's the purest Perhaps it's the purest sport.

731
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 2: Maybe that's indeed true competitive dance has the same commitment

732
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 2: as hockey, but is more expensive. It can't be, yes,

733
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 2: I I have some familiarity with that. And then I'm

734
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 2: hearing I got a bunch of tech from and one

735
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,879
Speaker 2: was actually not Marbury, that was Garnett. It doesn't matter.

736
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 2: You named the shoe right, the Starberry shoe. That's what matters.

737
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 2: The details beyond that are not very important. Do I

738
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 2: have any inkling of whether it's still available? Is the Starberry?

739
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 2: Can you still buy the Starberry? I think it was.

740
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 2: I think it was a while ago. I don't know

741
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 2: that it's very current, but not exactly sure. Early in

742
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 2: the show a great guest lineup today. I'll mention for

743
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 2: those who missed earlier part portions of the program and

744
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 2: liked to podcast the show, of course, it's always available

745
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 2: to you through the usual means. And we had Kevin

746
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 2: Seffert in studio at three point thirty. We had a

747
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 2: lot on the Vikings quarterback situation with Mitt, I should

748
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 2: say with Kevin, and then we eventually got into some

749
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 2: other issues as well with him Mitch Lawrence to talk

750
00:41:55,719 --> 00:42:01,760
Speaker 2: about the legacy of Hall of Famer player and coach

751
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:06,720
Speaker 2: Lenny Wilkins, and do we talk some current stuff, including

752
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,240
Speaker 2: whether the Wolves should have any interest in John Morant

753
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 2: given that he's ultimately I don't think there's any question

754
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 2: he's going to be available. And then Louie joined at

755
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 2: five point thirty today with what was mainly a hockey conversation.

756
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 2: Tomorrow is Wednesday, so I'm assuming Kessler is back tomorrow.

757
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 2: I'm assuming he's going to give me grief for leaving

758
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 2: the show early last week to hang with Spike Lee.

759
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 2: I thought he was going to be at the Big

760
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 2: Prince Musical all open, but he apparently was too committed

761
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 2: to the show bit, and so he'll probably get on

762
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 2: me with that and get into a couple of other

763
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 2: issues as well. Tomorrow's Glenn Mason Day. I think he

764
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 2: is still. I think he's back in town again. So

765
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,240
Speaker 2: it'll be another great college football week because the Golphers

766
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 2: are back. This is the I think the Friday night

767
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 2: game represents the Gophers' last chance to make this feel

768
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 2: like more than just another kind of middle of the

769
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 2: road not horrible but okay football season. Oregon's good. I

770
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 2: don't think Oregon's great. They did a nice job. As

771
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 2: somebody put it, they kind of out iowaed Iowa the

772
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 2: other day in very bad conditions at Iowa City and

773
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 2: they got a late field goal to win it. But

774
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 2: they're still highly ranked, They're still very much in the mix.

775
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 2: And so again, if you the Nebraska victory was cute

776
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 2: and it was you know, thorough, but this is the

777
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 2: kind of game, you know, this is like you've had

778
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 2: really three chances to get people's attention. The first time

779
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,359
Speaker 2: was at Ohio State, and that was probably unlikely, but

780
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 2: we were never competitive in that game. The second opportunity

781
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 2: was at Iowa and we weren't close to competitive in

782
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 2: that one either. And this will be your third shot,

783
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 2: and this unfortunately all three of those games are on

784
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 2: the road, which obviously make it difficult, but that's the

785
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 2: kind of game you have to win if you want

786
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 2: to make people feel like, well, there's something, you know,

787
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 2: there's something a little better about this season than what

788
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 2: we've kind of the meandering we've kind of been up

789
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 2: to the last several years.

790
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 3: So an update on Starburry. Yeah, that's what I've been

791
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:22,240
Speaker 3: doing Starbury. I want to drop new ones next summer.

792
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 3: Oh or the actual quotes. I want to drop it

793
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,760
Speaker 3: next summer because after twenty twenty five. Going into twenty thirty,

794
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 3: we're going to need a whole new breed of athletes.

795
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 3: So Starburry could be making a return. I think next

796
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 3: summer summer twenty twenty six.

797
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:41,879
Speaker 2: Interesting. Well, okay, I will wait for that. I that's okay. Yeah,

798
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 2: he will forever in Minnesota sports history be referred to

799
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:49,279
Speaker 2: as one of the loves. We lost a guy who

800
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 2: came here with a great deal of promise, the guy

801
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,879
Speaker 2: we were going to Matt you know, team up with

802
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,320
Speaker 2: Kevin Garnett, and they were going to be our Stockton,

803
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 2: him alone, and unfortunately Marbar got mad that Garnett got

804
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 2: money first, and he never got over it, and then

805
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,359
Speaker 2: ultimately the o Wolves were forced to trade him away,

806
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 2: and he never really landed anyplace else with any success.

807
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 2: He's probably bigger and more popular in China than he

808
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 2: is here in the United States of America. But a

809
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 2: lot of us were very much excited about the drafted

810
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 2: Shenanigans that allowed them to land starboard Its just did

811
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 2: not he He didn't. He ended up not having the

812
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 2: maturity that I think sawas thought he had at least

813
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 2: in a basketball court, but away from the court, he

814
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 2: just he couldn't handle the fact that Garnett was going

815
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 2: to get there first when it came to the money.

816
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 2: They were going to take care of him, but it

817
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 2: was going to take a little extra time. Do you

818
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 2: care to offer a prediction for tonight's wild game. I'd

819
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 2: like to see him getting the win.

820
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 4: Call him.

821
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 2: I think they do.

822
00:45:56,719 --> 00:46:00,359
Speaker 3: They're a different looking team than they were when played

823
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,280
Speaker 3: the Sharks. I think it was October twenty sixth or something,

824
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 3: so it hasn't been too long since they've been to

825
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 3: grank Cino Arena, but they're different. They've got Zagrello backed,

826
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 3: all the lines are more balanced, so hopefully that effort

827
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 3: can continue tonight.

828
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 2: I like a win, maybe a two goal game, and

829
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 2: it's not vast in the that's okay as we go back,

830
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,760
Speaker 2: and you know, we go back, but maybe that shut

831
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 2: up means you're we're gonna end up seeing a little

832
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 2: bit more of them than we originally thought we might

833
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 2: in terms of what the breakdown is going to be

834
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 2: between the two goaltenders. That's the That's a very pleasant

835
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 2: problem to have.

836
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:37,839
Speaker 3: Oh Russo had an interesting tweet about it because it

837
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:39,840
Speaker 3: he said, had to be a tough call, but Heinz

838
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 3: indicated before Walstet's shutout over Calgary that Gus would get

839
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 3: the Sharks game. If Gus didn't start tonight, it'd be

840
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,879
Speaker 3: at least nine days between starts, Okay, which, by the way,

841
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 3: Walstet's been on the bench for now, way longer than that.

842
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.

843
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 3: Walstet gave up six versus the Sharks a few weeks ago,

844
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,240
Speaker 3: which I don't personally, I don't think is very relevant

845
00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:00,160
Speaker 3: because he's red hot right now. Yeah, but they're on

846
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 3: with Gus and Gus is a good goaltender.

847
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:03,839
Speaker 2: Now, all right, we'll see how, We'll see if it goes,

848
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 2: if we can keep the thing going. And you said,

849
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 2: I think the World Wolves play next Friday night? Is

850
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 2: that correct? Yeah? Friday? Now do you tell me that

851
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,280
Speaker 2: was another NBA Cup game? It is? It is against

852
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 2: the King. I think we're want to know so far

853
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 2: in the in Cup standings, if that matters to anybody,

854
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 2: will get those fancy courts. Yeah, it's a big one.

855
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:26,720
Speaker 2: And and and those those those funky looking courts as well.

856
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 2: All right, so we're going straight to hockey pregame. Vikings Country, Oh,

857
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 2: Vikings Country. Okay, that's right. That'll then lead us into

858
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 2: how long is the wild pregame going to be? So

859
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 2: that'll be just fifteen? What's that all about? Are we

860
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:43,360
Speaker 2: ever going to go back to thirty?

861
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 3: I've always said, why don't we have more Kevin Fallins

862
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 3: on the station? I agree with you, more it only

863
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 3: gets fifteens apparently, what we're gonna have to deal with.

864
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 2: Oh, that's okay, that's okay. Well yeah, and then after

865
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 2: games he the only time he goes long after games

866
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 2: is like for mattin affair that make us have to

867
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 2: start later. Then suddenly his his post game goes on

868
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 2: forever like a Wagnerian opera. You know what saying? Is

869
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:09,359
Speaker 2: that a good thing? Or maybe it's a good thing.

870
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:12,399
Speaker 2: Maybe it's veteran for the listeners. You're right, all right,

871
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:14,839
Speaker 2: so Guardie, I'm assuming back tomorrow, and then I think

872
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 2: you're back Thursday Friday, right, yes, because he's milking the

873
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 2: trip to Oregon, correct, getting two full days out of that.

874

Speaker 2: you hungry or are you starving?

878
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 6: Never wear pants not wear pants so you can do

879
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 6: one aps you need.

880
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,359
Speaker 4: Length doesn't necessarily mean quality,
