Speaker 2: Kewred Calendar. Okay, Parker, good morning.
Speaker 3: Explain it to me. Okay, I'll try Why Why why
Speaker 3: did the Wolves quit?
Speaker 4: Oh ROASTI let's go all the way back to Game
Speaker 4: six that was one of the most credible games of
Speaker 4: all time.
Speaker 5: Still makes me sad. Yeah, I don't know. It's frustrating
Speaker 5: because just just the habits that they had all year.
Speaker 5: It was a team that Chris Finch, he truly pushed
Speaker 5: this team and tried to have them search for what
Speaker 5: kind of a team they were. And you know, you
Speaker 5: lose games midweek to Brooklyn teams that you should not
Speaker 5: lose to, and then you know you go on the
Speaker 5: road and you lose one to Memphis or whoever it
Speaker 5: may be, and you know, these habits that start, you know,
Speaker 5: getting created during the regular season, they tend to peak
Speaker 5: their head in the playoffs, and that's exactly what we saw.
Speaker 5: And I think, you know, give give credit to this
Speaker 5: Timbrels team of finding a way to beat Denver in
Speaker 5: the six to three game in the first round, and
Speaker 5: but also give credit to Tim Conley what he's done
Speaker 5: in the past couple of years of kind of constructing
Speaker 5: this roster to beat a team like Denver. But Denver's
Speaker 5: not the cream of the crop anymore. It's it's San Antonio,
Speaker 5: it's Victor Wembanyama, and it's it's Oklahoma City. So now
Speaker 5: there needs to be changes moving forward to beat a
Speaker 5: team like that. And a lot of people are like,
Speaker 5: you might as well just wait until we're in the East,
Speaker 5: because you're not going to be the guy in Victor Wembnyama.
Speaker 5: But I think that's the wrong mindset. And I think
Speaker 5: Tim Conley's made for moments like these, and I think
Speaker 5: it's going to be a really interesting offseason to see
Speaker 5: what they go get and what they do with pieces
Speaker 5: like Julius Randall, Rudy Gobert, and Jada McDaniels. I believe
Speaker 5: two of those three guys are going to be gone
Speaker 5: next season. I truly do, and I think, you know,
Speaker 5: I don't see a world where Julius Randall's back next year.
Speaker 5: And I think Rudy Gobert is kind of a fifty
Speaker 5: to fifty. So it's going to take some changes. But
Speaker 5: I think at the end of the day, Hockey, You're right,
Speaker 5: they did give up. And that's the most concerning thing
Speaker 5: for me is you know, one through eight, whoever's on
Speaker 5: the court, like, you can't have that mentality in the playoffs,
Speaker 5: like you got to show up, especially for your fans
Speaker 5: in Minnesota, Like Target Center was rock and every game
Speaker 5: I was at in the playoffs, and they didn't deserve that.
Speaker 5: The fans didn't deserve a no effort team. So there
Speaker 5: needs to be some changes moving forward.
Speaker 6: Well, we guess some audio from Tim Conley that will
Speaker 6: play in sports in just a little bit, But right
Speaker 6: now it's time for the news.
Speaker 2: This is camfe In News with Chris Hockey, presented by

Speaker 6: of course, the NFL has selected Minneapolis as the site
Speaker 6: for the NFL Draft in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 3: That's a big deal. We all love that, right.
Speaker 6: The Cinemaiso has become the first state to outlaw prediction markets.
Speaker 6: Governor Tim Wallace signed a public safety bill this week
Speaker 6: prohibiting online platforms where people can bet money on the
Speaker 6: outcomes of events. Prediction markets get around local sports betting
Speaker 6: restrictions by selling bets as financial contracts, like commodity markets,
Speaker 6: which is also gambling. Federal authorities follow the lawsuit tuesday
Speaker 6: to block the prohibition, arguing prediction markets should be explicitly
Speaker 6: right by federal officials. Missla takes in August the first
Speaker 6: day to do so. Ladies and gentlemen. Yea, and now here'scoring.
Speaker 2: Parker. How's the dog?
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, one of the coolest experiences ever. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it's been so fun. We both had never Taylor and
Speaker 5: I both have never had a dog.
Speaker 2: I think I mentioned that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so both growing up, never had one. And literally
Speaker 5: they lost on Tuesday. They flew home Wednesday, I picked
Speaker 5: her up from the airport and boom, we shot down
Speaker 5: when picked up the dog. So, yeah, it happened. It
Speaker 5: happened really quick, and it's fun coming Honestly, he's been great.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, a couple a couple of barks during the night,
Speaker 5: maybe once or twice. Get up and take him out,
Speaker 5: And by that I mean Taylor, get up.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's her dog. Here we go.
Speaker 5: I think it's more of a deal or she just
Speaker 5: wants to bear out of because she's so excited to
Speaker 5: do it. Now that might wear off and I might
Speaker 5: get delegated that role at some point.
Speaker 2: But you dogough man, it is a very cute dog.
Speaker 5: We brought him golfing last night for the first time
Speaker 5: and he just literally sat in his little to go
Speaker 5: seat or whatever.
Speaker 2: You call that.
Speaker 5: I have no idea, and watched Yeah, he played, well,
Speaker 5: he's a little he went right into the into the crap.
Speaker 2: Yelled at yelled at his caddy for showing up to.
Speaker 5: The tea box. Yeah, that's all time a time.
Speaker 2: Did he bark in your back swing?
Speaker 5: He actually did not. He was really good in the
Speaker 5: back swing. Believe a couple of barks at the ball
Speaker 5: in the ring.
Speaker 2: Brilliant. But no, he's been a good vote son. They
Speaker 2: yell it's so good, it's so good.
Speaker 5: But yeah, it's fun and we're learning a lot, and
Speaker 5: yeah we are dog parents now.
Speaker 4: I guess Hey, speaking of you know, yelling stuff at
Speaker 4: golf events, clearly on the PGN Sunday you could hear
Speaker 4: a couple of right Horard Stern reference, did you hear?
Speaker 2: Did you hear?
Speaker 4: I don't remember if it was sad here Sunday somebody
Speaker 4: literally just yelled out J. D. Harmeyer, which is another relation,
Speaker 4: which is another name from Stern.
Speaker 2: But it was just like the guy's name. It wasn't
Speaker 2: Babba b or hit him with the hind. It was
Speaker 2: just they just said his full name.
Speaker 4: And I'm like, that's a guy that understands though that
Speaker 4: Stern's group cuts up all the golf yells. And if
Speaker 4: you go that, if you just say his name, my
Speaker 4: guess is Stern's Like somebody just yelled out JD's full
Speaker 4: name at the PGA JD. That's smart. If you yelled
Speaker 4: Babba bo, you might get skipped because everybody yells bubba
Speaker 4: bu r j D.
Speaker 3: Harmyer.
Speaker 2: Has anyone yelled who me? Oh Man selling Richard the
Speaker 2: Jack and Rod show?
Speaker 3: Casse You guys are wondering.
Speaker 6: I don't know if you're playing on any trips anybody
Speaker 6: over there, but the State Department is not warning against
Speaker 6: travel to Uganda, Congo and the South Sudan.
Speaker 2: That's exactly what I'm guarding. I had eight dinners set up.
Speaker 4: They were all going to be the great dinners I've
Speaker 4: ever had. I was gonna post about every one of them.
Speaker 4: God dang it, I mean Bonus might go there.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 6: The Department also recommended that the people will reconsider travel
Speaker 6: to Rwanda. Foreign passport holders are restricted from entering the
Speaker 6: US if they have been due any of those places
Speaker 6: because of the Ebola outbreak. And we calm down, by
Speaker 6: the way, in case you're wondering, a Colorado man is
Speaker 6: dead after contracting hantavirus.
Speaker 3: That's right. State health officials say the case.
Speaker 6: Does not appear to be connected to the recent cruise
Speaker 6: ship outbreak.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's good or bad news.
Speaker 2: It's a preliminary.
Speaker 6: Evidence points to local exposure to rodents. Suddenly that's happening.
Speaker 4: You know what's weird about oscars is you guys remember
Speaker 4: the movie Hotel Rwanda?
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, did you ever see it?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 2: See, that's what I'm saying. It's weird.
Speaker 4: I bet it's super good probably, and it got nominated
Speaker 4: for a bunch of stuff it.
Speaker 2: Is, and then you see it? Yeah in school you
Speaker 2: did you saw it?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: No kidding, real history class. I love with great really
Speaker 2: good here. Did you ever watch it? No, I'm looking
Speaker 2: at it now.
Speaker 3: You've heard the soundtrack though, right, Welcome to the.
Speaker 2: Yes, I've seen Yeah, I've seen that, but I have
Speaker 2: seen it. I've seen this movie.
Speaker 3: Yes, no kidding, I guess I never knew.
Speaker 2: I was just going to make the point that it's weird.
Speaker 4: How like a movie that's highly acclaimed, the critics love
Speaker 4: it, it gets nominated, but then it just disappears from society.
Speaker 4: They stop talking about it, and one yeah it got
Speaker 4: it got nominated for a bunch of stuff interesting. Never
Speaker 4: saw it, So whenever I hear Rwanda, I just think
Speaker 4: hotel Rwanda makes sense.
Speaker 2: They have no It's correct. That's why I make the connection. Yes,
Speaker 2: crazy connection.
Speaker 4: I have no knowledge of what that movie is about.
Speaker 4: My guess it is a hotel that is in that country?
Speaker 4: Am I clothes?
Speaker 2: No know? Zach saw it? Zach's movie. What's the plot.
Speaker 7: It's just about genocide and our part side and all
Speaker 7: that fun stuff.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, is a rom com? I remember, right?
Speaker 7: The hotel gets like, uh, is it pro that stuff? No,
Speaker 7: well it's it's just it exposes that stuff.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's a war thriller.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a civil war and there's uh is.
Speaker 4: This the one where the kid is in a hotel
Speaker 4: and his parents are like in Florida.
Speaker 2: And he has to like uh, I think you're no no.
Speaker 4: And there's like air there's like the bird Lady in
Speaker 4: Central Park?
Speaker 2: Is that this one?
Speaker 4: All your hands up? The bird Lady and Home Alone two?
Speaker 4: Would Oh, you're right, that is Home Alone too. Never mind,
Speaker 4: I've never seen a hotel Rowanda were without the birds with.
Speaker 2: Their Yeah, the birds of the gross parts get virus.
Speaker 2: He doesn't care about that. What if we find out
Speaker 2: bird lady from home alone to his patient zero?
Speaker 4: Wow, it's how the whole thing started.
Speaker 3: I ain't Karen.
Speaker 6: You know you're hawk last one? Are you speaking of
Speaker 6: travel parking? You're not going to Florida times scenario.
Speaker 2: I don't plan on it.
Speaker 6: Okay, good, because you gotta be careful. There's a Florida
Speaker 6: Python challenge happening now. They hunt for pythons down there.
Speaker 2: Tommy's on his way. Are you afraid of snakes?
Speaker 5: No? Snakes are cool? Someone uh playing golf this weekend?
Speaker 3: Snake playing golf? He doesn't know how many arms?
Speaker 2: I did not have any arms? True? What kind of
Speaker 2: snake it was like? I think it was just like
Speaker 2: a garter snake black and yellow stripes. Picked it up.
Speaker 2: And here's so much more mainly than me a mile
Speaker 2: and a half.
Speaker 3: I have a question for you guys. Is it not
Speaker 3: gardener snake?
Speaker 2: I think you're right.
Speaker 4: I think it's I think it's gardener or garter. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I think you can say it either way. And this
Speaker 4: is not a Mark Rosen, but where you can, I'm
Speaker 4: pretty sure it's both.
Speaker 6: Don Actually, does garter snake get g A R T
Speaker 6: A gardener snake.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's the purpose of them.
Speaker 6: Eating mice and bugs and stuff? Right, everybody's got a
Speaker 6: purpose of me. Yeah, you have a purpose? Hok you
Speaker 6: are do you believe?
Speaker 3: It is just I don't think gardener snake is a thing.
Speaker 2: I think people commonly say that though.
Speaker 4: It's one of those bits where the name is garter snake,
Speaker 4: but everybody says it the other way so often that
Speaker 4: it's just they're both socially acceptable.
Speaker 3: I mean, this is a brand new thing that I
Speaker 3: was wrong about my whole life.
Speaker 2: Another what kind of snakes did you swim with when
Speaker 2: you were kidhog? Oh?
Speaker 3: Those were we call them watermarksins. You guys call them copperheads.
Speaker 6: They're mean, right, they were terrible and they would they
Speaker 6: would chase you.
Speaker 2: What and you were hanging out with them in the water.
Speaker 3: No, I didn't want to. But they sunned on the rocks.
Speaker 6: That's a good thing about them is they didn't hide
Speaker 6: because they were not afraid of you. But if you
Speaker 6: saw one, you didn't go in the water. Right there,
Speaker 6: you went on down the crick aways.
Speaker 2: Why do people go outside? Corey?
Speaker 3: It was high Wow.
Speaker 2: They're mean, Yeah.
Speaker 6: Man, they are mean. They are do you know how
Speaker 6: they say snake is more afraid of not water marks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't care.
Speaker 3: They don't care.
Speaker 2: They're like, they're a cotton mouthed snake.
Speaker 4: All right, so your ear mamly you'll pick up a
Speaker 4: snake and just chuck it into the woods because.
Speaker 2: Yours I'm not going to pick up.
Speaker 4: Like, let's go back to the old Everglades python challenge.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's the total challenge all about? Well, they're trying
Speaker 2: to wipe them out.
Speaker 4: I mean they if they have completely destroyed the ecosystem there,
Speaker 4: since they it's an invasive species, it's destroyed everything.
Speaker 2: It's it's a nightmare. So there's a couple hundred.
Speaker 4: Thousand pythons and every year they kill like two or
Speaker 4: three hundred.
Speaker 2: It's a waste of time. Wow.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if that, my guess is you would not be
Speaker 4: as willing to get into the mix there.
Speaker 5: That sounds like straight Florida energy.
Speaker 2: If you ever see a story on them.
Speaker 4: Part of the problem is the pythons are unbelievably good
Speaker 4: at hiding really, so they can be massive and theoretically right.
Speaker 2: Underneath you and you can barely see them.
Speaker 5: He probably become like a thing that they've learned over time.
Speaker 5: What is that called?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 6: Is there anybody more pissed on the planet than a
Speaker 6: garter snake?
Speaker 2: I thought it was kind of chill. He wanted to
Speaker 2: buy you they don't have.
Speaker 3: He wanted you to be afraid of, but you're not.
Speaker 3: He's a snake.
Speaker 6: We've been given this innate fear of snakes, except for
Speaker 6: that one.
Speaker 2: A bit.
Speaker 3: You just completely emasculated him.
Speaker 2: He just picked him up and threw him. I did
Speaker 2: like he was.
Speaker 5: Semin iron, and then I grabbed him and I threw
Speaker 5: him into the wasteland.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, right person, mad Max? Yeah, what
Speaker 2: you do? That is that snake's origin story.
Speaker 4: He didn't hate humans until you just picked him up
Speaker 4: and threw him, and now he hates all of us.
Speaker 2: Thanks, buddy, I'm sorry. So now one now, now.
Speaker 4: Little Louis Lambert is gonna get bit by that snake because.
Speaker 2: You pissed him off. Because Louie is clearly going to
Speaker 2: golf at some point. Don't go to Aberdeen, South Dakota.
Speaker 2: Stay here.
Speaker 4: He's gonna golf all over the Upper Midwest, including Aberdeen.
Speaker 2: Fair enough, they cannot seriously injure or kill.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. Why be a snake if you
Speaker 3: can't kill somebody.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't even think they have teeth. I don't
Speaker 2: think they do either.
Speaker 3: God, that sucks. What did they do?
Speaker 2: They're just sliding around?
Speaker 6: I mean, seriously, how did they not involve a way
Speaker 6: to kill things?
Speaker 8: Hey?
Speaker 4: Look when the abottinable snowman at the end of Rudolpha
Speaker 4: red nose reindeer like gets all of his teeth pulled,
Speaker 4: He's still gonna rap presence. He can still put the
Speaker 4: star on the top of the tree. You can find
Speaker 4: purpose without teeth. Hermie teeth out.
Speaker 6: O, my sister has teeth and you toothless teeth?
Speaker 2: What a reference? How have you? How did you know
Speaker 2: that you've seen that movie How.
Speaker 9: To Train Your Dragon? Yeah, i've seen the first one. Interesting, Yeah,
Speaker 9: it's very good. Extremely I didn't see the live actually,
Speaker 9: but yeah, it also holds up very good.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, they got a lot of those out, don't they.
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 4: I mean How to Train Your Dragon series multiple movies,
Speaker 4: and then they did.
Speaker 2: The live action one, which again was also very good.
Speaker 2: Sweet old on.
Speaker 6: Can we play the Tim Connley audio when he came back?
Speaker 6: Because I though said that I thought was really interesting,
Speaker 6: including when he talked about his team in general and
Speaker 6: Julius Randall.
Speaker 2: Ye, Laura Parker Fox in the Power Throw Morning Show.
Speaker 6: After this, I think, Jeffersonlliance, it's your number one bus experience.
Speaker 6: My name is Chris Hockey and I can vouch for that.
Speaker 2: With daily we are.
Speaker 3: Welcome back to the Parkers in the morning show. Parkar
Speaker 3: Fox is here. Past of thousands, let's get right into.
Speaker 2: Sports and sports sign for a fan.
Speaker 5: Five on the Power Trips Right.
Speaker 2: Nicks beat the Calves one fourteen, one oh five and
Speaker 2: ot after they trailed by twenty two with eight minutes left.
Speaker 2: Jalen Brunson had thirty eight in the win. The Knicks
Speaker 2: now lead one oh Game two is tomorrow at seven pm.
Speaker 2: Incredible game.
Speaker 5: I turn it on midway through the third and I
Speaker 5: was like, oh, this game's over. Calves got it wrapped up.
Speaker 5: I was texting one of my buddies and I was like,
Speaker 5: this isn't even gonna be a game. It's all good.
Speaker 5: And then next thing you know, eighteen to one run
Speaker 5: from the nixt Jalen Brunson was fantastic, and then they
Speaker 5: just made every shot down the stretch and me and
Speaker 5: Corey were talking about it, but like, how cool to
Speaker 5: do it in front of all these celebrities. Tracy Morgan's there,
Speaker 5: Shallow May Pete David said, like it has that has
Speaker 5: to be one of the coolest feelings in the world.
Speaker 5: Just to hit like a big three and to look
Speaker 5: at Chala Man just put your arms in there and
Speaker 5: he's just fired up for you. Like maybe have glazed
Speaker 5: and Shallow May a little bit. But it's an unbelievable
Speaker 5: win for New York. And if I'm Cleveland, I'm worried
Speaker 5: now because you lose in that fashion, You're probably not
Speaker 5: not going to get the next one. You got to
Speaker 5: find a way to get one or two at home.
Speaker 5: But it looks like the New York NeXT's going to
Speaker 5: play in the NBA Finals.
Speaker 9: I saw something on Twitter that was what they basically
Speaker 9: did to make their run is they just got James
Speaker 9: Harden and Io when he plays zero defense, it was ridiculous.
Speaker 5: Like if you go and watch back, like analytically the
Speaker 5: defense that was played in the fourth quarter by James Harden,
Speaker 5: they were literally like picking him, like picking on him
Speaker 5: like a kid at preschool or on the playground. Like
Speaker 5: they're literally like setting the ball screen, getting him to
Speaker 5: switch and then going right at him right.
Speaker 6: It was.
Speaker 5: It was embarrassing, and I think if you're the Cavs,
Speaker 5: like James Harden's a guy you need out there on
Speaker 5: the floor for you offensively. But he was almost unplayable
Speaker 5: in the fourth quarter because of his defense. So that's
Speaker 5: something they got to look at moving forward. Is a
Speaker 5: guy that can actually, you know, play both ways, both
Speaker 5: sides of the ball.
Speaker 2: Jason Kidd is out as the coach of the Dallas Mavericks.
Speaker 2: He has a forty dollars left on his contract. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's insane, insane. There's a lot of movement going on
Speaker 2: down in Dallas. I think they really believe in what
Speaker 2: Cooper Flag can be. So a lot of moves in
Speaker 2: the front office and Jason Kid has done. So what
Speaker 2: that tells me is is there's guys on this Dallas
Speaker 2: roster that that may become available. And we'll talk about
Speaker 2: it here as we move on. But Kyrie Irving's a
Speaker 2: name who's going to be healthy for this twenty twenty
Speaker 2: six twenty twenty seventh season and he's still a difference maker.
Speaker 5: Yes, he's thirty four years old, but one of the
Speaker 5: greatest individual skill players of all time and think he
Speaker 5: could really make an impact as a true point guard.
Speaker 9: Where he goes, the PWHL will expand to San Jose.
Speaker 5: That will be fun San Jose, Vegas, Hamilton, and Detroit
Speaker 5: this upcoming year. So four new teams, a lot of
Speaker 5: movement happening, a lot of stuff going on. Are we
Speaker 5: worried that Taylor has to move? I don't think we're
Speaker 5: too worried. You don't get ahead of ourselves, right, But
Speaker 5: the expansion is very different. It's a very different process
Speaker 5: this year. But at the end of the day, each
Speaker 5: team can still protect three players. So hopefully she's one
Speaker 5: of those three players picked by the Frost to protect
Speaker 5: and we go forward. But she is a free agent
Speaker 5: right now, so she does have to re up and
Speaker 5: sign a contract before that happens.
Speaker 2: So Jerry, yeah, sports work, you got to do contracts.
Speaker 4: How do we have any sense if if the p
Speaker 4: w HL is expanding too early too quickly?
Speaker 2: Do we know what's the vibe there?
Speaker 5: Well, I think the market of fans and the growth
Speaker 5: and you know they do these games, expansion tour games
Speaker 5: throughout the season and the you know, the show has
Speaker 5: been great for them, Like all the cities they go to,
Speaker 5: they've showed up really well, they sold out different you
Speaker 5: know rinks, and so I think that's all good. But
Speaker 5: for me, it's it's the talent level. Corey, Like, when
Speaker 5: you expand for four new teams, you're you know, where
Speaker 5: are you picking? What's that twenty five times four? That's
Speaker 5: one hundred players, you know, and there's.
Speaker 2: Sauce would have told you that he knew I was
Speaker 2: listening to had.
Speaker 5: That, And it's and it's not like you're going to
Speaker 5: get a hundred you know, girls out of college that
Speaker 5: are ready to maybe go, So you need to pick
Speaker 5: maybe people that have been playing overseas. So we'll see
Speaker 5: how it goes. And then for me, it's the goaltending. Right,
Speaker 5: there's only probably six goalies in the world who are
Speaker 5: playing the p WHL that are contending at the national
Speaker 5: level for national teams, so you're going to have a
Speaker 5: really difference in goalies. And then we saw that this
Speaker 5: year with Boston and Montreal. They had the two best
Speaker 5: goalies at like one goal per game against average and
Speaker 5: they were the number one and number two in MVP voting.
Speaker 2: Gee, So yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 2: Tim Conley the Wolves GM spoke yesterday.
Speaker 3: Are you ready for that?
Speaker 2: Yes, daddy.
Speaker 6: Okay, let's start with Tim saying this about whether there
Speaker 6: be any major shakeups for his squad this year.
Speaker 8: And we have a lot of confidence in our guys.
Speaker 8: But again, it would be disingenuous to be sitting here
Speaker 8: in front of this crew and say, hey, we're happy
Speaker 8: with the sixth seed. We're happy when not being on
Speaker 8: court playoff team. We're happy that our last three closeout games,
Speaker 8: you know, have been lopsided.
Speaker 2: So we have to be realistic.
Speaker 8: I thought what we have, which is way more good
Speaker 8: than bad, but know that we're not good enough right now?
Speaker 3: What do you mean?
Speaker 2: So yesterday they were talking about this on burreaw and
Speaker 2: I'm sure you were listening, how because you're a Barrero
Speaker 2: p one. I am remember this story.
Speaker 9: But they were talking about basically like how they thought,
Speaker 9: and they you know, they were half kidding that Conley
Speaker 9: would come out and basically say we're moving on from Randall.
Speaker 2: He's awful. Did Mike Tice really call fan Line back
Speaker 2: in the day and say they were cutting a kicker
Speaker 2: because he missed two extra points?
Speaker 3: He did say that, but I think he was joking.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, I thought maybe that was a real thing.
Speaker 6: I'm almost I barely remember it, but I know there's
Speaker 6: audio of it. But I believe the insinuation was that
Speaker 6: he was joking.
Speaker 3: Oh, I could be wrong, though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it didn't he like in passing to like, I
Speaker 2: gotta go cut a kicker. Yeah? Yeah, I think he
Speaker 2: said like out of frustration, but he.
Speaker 4: Think he was kidding. I think again, I'm with Chris.
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure he's joking.
Speaker 3: Let's talk about Tim Connolly and Julius Randall.
Speaker 8: Julius was fantastic throughout the season. He could be the
Speaker 8: first tell you didn't play his best basketball for San Antonio.
Speaker 8: I think his playmaking, I think his his ability, oh
Speaker 8: it's on ball defense with his physicality was really impactful.
Speaker 8: So we don't win because of one player, lose because
Speaker 8: of one player. I think when we lost in the
Speaker 8: fashion we lost to San Antonio, they were clearly the
Speaker 8: better team. And we have to look at the collective,
Speaker 8: you know, being included the whole building. What can we
Speaker 8: all do better to ensure that we don't see the
Speaker 8: same result next season?
Speaker 3: What does he really say?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's It's interesting, right because because Julius didn't speak
Speaker 5: to the media, didn't have an exit meeting. I don't
Speaker 5: I don't know where Tim Conley is now. I think
Speaker 5: Tom Tim Connley is great and I think he's going
Speaker 5: to find the right answer for this.
Speaker 2: But the vibe around the organization.
Speaker 5: From what I've here heard from a lot of people
Speaker 5: is you probably won't see Julius Randall in a Wolf's
Speaker 5: uniform this upcoming year.
Speaker 2: So what does that mean for Julius. I don't know.
Speaker 5: But at the end of the day, he's on a
Speaker 5: three year, one hundred million dollar contract and you have
Speaker 5: to find a way to move that and you have
Speaker 5: to find a team that finds value in Julius. And
Speaker 5: now there is value in Julius. He's an established power
Speaker 5: forward in this league. He's played for, you know, the
Speaker 5: Lakers and the Knicks, two big teams. He understands how
Speaker 5: the league work. He can still he can still be
Speaker 5: a really good player in this league, in this league,
Speaker 5: but I just don't think he's the number two to
Speaker 5: a guy in Anthony Edwards. And at the end of
Speaker 5: the day, if you're the Wolves, you're asking yourself it
Speaker 5: is Julius good enough to be a number two to
Speaker 5: aunt And the answer to that is no, So you
Speaker 5: have to move on. You have to find a guy
Speaker 5: that is good enough to be a number two, because
Speaker 5: Victor Mnyama and Shay Yields Alexander are sitting there in
Speaker 5: the weeds waiting.
Speaker 3: He played like number two. I don't know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're right, and I'm a big fan of Tim
Speaker 6: Connolly when he was a dwarf. You don't get the
Speaker 6: job at all.
Speaker 2: No that these guys laugh, So I left.
Speaker 3: Thank you appreciate it very much. Yeah.
Speaker 6: I was gonna say something else, but I can sidetracked
Speaker 6: by my jokes, so I'll go right onto the problem
Speaker 6: with Anthony Edwards if we hold it.
Speaker 8: Such a high bar. The reason he's elite is obviously
Speaker 8: he's a super human offensive player, but we think he
Speaker 8: has the same ability on the defensive vent and that's
Speaker 8: what separates him. His competitives is toughness. I think he
Speaker 8: also played a bunch of nagged injuries. His ability to
Speaker 8: come back from that injury was fantastic. When he went down,
Speaker 8: we didn't think he was gonna be back that quickly.
Speaker 8: So this is the first summer a long time, he's
Speaker 8: gonna not play. You know, he's played with the national team.
Speaker 8: The summer started a bit earlier. I think as he
Speaker 8: gets older, he's getting more and more not just take
Speaker 8: care of his my preventive measures.
Speaker 6: Okay, there's three things that he said there under the radar.
Speaker 6: Dam Ant played defense, yep, let's see some effort. Damnit
Speaker 6: Ant take better carry your body yep. And damn Ant
Speaker 6: takes some time off and stop playing basketball for a while.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Right, did he not say all three of those things
Speaker 3: in that one?
Speaker 5: All three of those go under the umbrella of being
Speaker 5: a professional, right, And I think that's something that that's
Speaker 5: the next st step for him. He's not just a kid,
Speaker 5: a young guy in the NBA anymore. He's an established,
Speaker 5: true superstar. And I think if you want to continue
Speaker 5: to take your game the next heights, Ant says it
Speaker 5: to himself, he wants to be an MVP. He's not
Speaker 5: an MVP right now. Like he's very good, he's a
Speaker 5: top ten player in the league, but he's not Shay,
Speaker 5: he's not Wemby, he's not Jokic. And that's because he
Speaker 5: just doesn't play the two way game right now. And
Speaker 5: he can he's he's very capable of being a great defender,
Speaker 5: He's very capable of being a great passer as well,
Speaker 5: and assist guy. His assist numbers don't even touch any
Speaker 5: of those guys assist numbers. So I think there's just
Speaker 5: another level that he can take it to. And I
Speaker 5: think what Tim Conley is telling you is is you
Speaker 5: got to get rid of all this moodiness.
Speaker 2: Like the topic of conversation.
Speaker 5: In this this exit interview with all these guys was
Speaker 5: moodiness like that has to go away and it has
Speaker 5: to be a professional, mature approach. And I think that's
Speaker 5: the next step for Anthony Edwards, and he's so capable
Speaker 5: of it, and I think that's what's frustrating us and
Speaker 5: frustrating this organization organization the most. Yes he played through injuries,
Speaker 5: Yes he was hurt, but there's a whole other step
Speaker 5: that he can take because he is the franchise guy.
Speaker 6: Question for those of you who are old enough to
Speaker 6: remember these two, did Michael Jordan and or Kobe Bryant
Speaker 6: ever have a time early in their career where somebody
Speaker 6: had to say them, man, you got to take it
Speaker 6: to the next level. You want to be great you
Speaker 6: better start playing defense.
Speaker 2: Well was it Jordan didn't win a playoff series till
Speaker 2: his fourth year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that doesn't mean he didn't have the same
Speaker 4: kind of My guess is I mean, from what I
Speaker 4: remember from both of them, they were extremely self motivated people.
Speaker 3: My point, yeah, that.
Speaker 6: Is the missing ingredient. You can have greatness. Yeah, athletically,
Speaker 6: you got to have something in here right.
Speaker 5: Right well, And I think that's one one thing that's
Speaker 5: tough too, is because all I hear from Ant is
Speaker 5: he's always in the gym. He's always spending more time
Speaker 5: getting shots up. Like he'll he'll let the team buss
Speaker 5: go and he'll just uber back to the hotel because
Speaker 5: he wants to get more shots up. But then there's
Speaker 5: that which is great, But then, hey, your body's failing you.
Speaker 2: At the end of the season.
Speaker 5: You were hurt, and yes, one might have been a
Speaker 5: freak accident, but you need to take care of your body.
Speaker 5: You need to be in that training room, you need
Speaker 5: to be in the weight room, you need to be
Speaker 5: listening to nutrition.
Speaker 2: Like there's there's just a level of professionalism.
Speaker 5: And I'm not calling him out and telling him he's not,
Speaker 5: but at the end of the day, like, you're not
Speaker 5: getting to where you need to go, and if you
Speaker 5: want to be an MVP, there's another step you have
Speaker 5: to take, and it's frustrating because he's capable.
Speaker 2: Right, well said, thanks, Well, hey remind me.
Speaker 4: Do you know you have a connection to chat Holmegrin? Yeah,
Speaker 4: chat a little bit, right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we worked out a lot in the summer growing up,
Speaker 5: and you know he's obviously a local kid.
Speaker 2: Sure he hasn't come back as much as he once did.
Speaker 2: Do you know him?
Speaker 4: Do you know him well enough to know if this
Speaker 4: Wemby chet feud is real?
Speaker 2: Because everybody says they hate each other.
Speaker 5: It's funny, right because I think if you were asked both,
Speaker 5: they would just say no and then that's the PC
Speaker 5: right answer. But I mean they're two young guys that
Speaker 5: are you know, Unicorn ask players. They're these tall guys
Speaker 5: that can stretch the floor and also block shots and dunks,
Speaker 5: So I think there's definitely a rivalry there.
Speaker 2: You see him stepping on Wemby's foot on the box up.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: They I mean, they just they look like they drive
Speaker 2: each other nuts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's twenty four shoes hard.
Speaker 2: Yeah, ridiculous to the point.
Speaker 4: If the broadcast hadn't pointed out that they don't like
Speaker 4: each other, maybe it goes under the raidar. But the
Speaker 4: second somebody says, hey, watch these two they don't like
Speaker 4: each other, and everything they did looked really obvious that
Speaker 4: they were annoyed.
Speaker 2: With each other.
Speaker 5: Funny to think they wouldn't, right, Like, they're two of
Speaker 5: the best players in the West, they're very similar type
Speaker 5: of games. You know, they're gonna have to face each
Speaker 5: other for a long time because both of those guys aren't.
Speaker 2: Leaving those teams at anytime soon. So I love it.
Speaker 5: I think it's good for the league. I think it's
Speaker 5: good for basketball. And you have two guys that don't
Speaker 5: like each other. Doesn't need to be all buddy buddy.
Speaker 5: This is professional sports at the highest level. Like go compete,
Speaker 5: Like throw an elbow like Wemby did, not saying he
Speaker 5: should continue to do that, but like be physical. Make
Speaker 5: this thing fun, because I think people are craving that
Speaker 5: versus the Anthony Edwards dap up with eight minutes left
Speaker 5: to the whole other team. Like, let's have a level
Speaker 5: of competitiveness here.
Speaker 6: One thing before you to break. I know you've told
Speaker 6: us this before Parker. Yeah, I'm sure I knew this.
Speaker 6: I may have written it down. I may have commented
Speaker 6: made a joke. Have you ever stood next to Wimby?
Speaker 2: I have, yeah, And I dunked on him one time?
Speaker 2: What yeah, come on?
Speaker 5: In fact, yeah, he blocked me a lot, probably ninety
Speaker 5: five percent of the time. But one time I did
Speaker 5: get him. No, we were doing doing a workout, some
Speaker 5: work I got a video on my phone. I'll show
Speaker 5: you guys during the break, but summer workouts, just doing
Speaker 5: some runs, and I caught him. Iist, oh, Maple Grove,
Speaker 5: I think one of like always here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, working out. Well, this was summers ago.
Speaker 5: He was probably still he was probably still in Oh, Wemby,
Speaker 5: I'm thinking Chet, Oh, I got my goodness, I thought
Speaker 5: you dunked on Like, how is that.
Speaker 2: Possible to lead? Did you say? Did you say me
Speaker 2: standing next to check Wey? I was thinking, chat's ever?
Speaker 4: When did you guys cross pad grow he loves Yeah.
Speaker 5: I thought you were I never I never met I
Speaker 5: never met Wembley. Okay one day, maybe that means you
Speaker 5: have dunked on Chet?
Speaker 6: I was literally has he never said that is the
Speaker 6: greatest guy ever?
Speaker 2: I'd have a T shirt made picture.
Speaker 4: If you ever had your phone, I just walk around
Speaker 4: showing that I dunked.
Speaker 2: On loves maple grow this time. Likes not his cupcakes.
Speaker 2: He had one and a half at a wedding at least,
Speaker 2: who does it? All right? More with Parker.
Speaker 4: Fox will do Vikings news after this in a second
Speaker 4: as well.
Speaker 2: This is the Power Trip Morning Joe on the Fan
Speaker 2: from the one eight hundred Ask Gary Traffic Center.
Speaker 4: This report is sponsored by you.
Speaker 3: All right here we have morning show partner Fox.
Speaker 6: From there, Jill Yo, it is time for some Viking's
Speaker 6: news on your little Part Trip Morning Show.
Speaker 2: I got a little even.
Speaker 3: It's time news on the Power Trip presented by.
Speaker 4: Joe ex series thanks to Radco. Dude, check this out.
Speaker 4: Minneapolis is getting the draft what all right?
Speaker 1: Hell?
Speaker 4: Yeahs not breaking news, but it was officially announced yesterday
Speaker 4: that the twenty twenty eight NFL Draft is coming to Minneapolis.
Speaker 2: It'll be in DC next year. Draft here in twenty eight.
Speaker 2: All right, So that's the.
Speaker 4: Third straight day we've talked about this, but they officially
Speaker 4: announced it. They also officially announced that the city of
Speaker 4: Nashville is getting the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: That's twenty thirty.
Speaker 4: They also talked for forty five straight minutes about how
Speaker 4: excited they are for twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: Nine when it's in Vegas.
Speaker 4: Gotta be sweet, all right, No, they just wanted to reiterate,
Speaker 4: like they're very excited about Inglewood, They're excited about Atlanta.
Speaker 4: They announced Nashville, but they're like, but we're really all
Speaker 4: here to talk about Vegas twenty twenty nine. They can't wait,
Speaker 4: And how much fun that one? Specifically they might be
Speaker 4: the train slot machine.
Speaker 5: Sure, well, Nasville's getting the new stadium, right, Sure, that's
Speaker 5: gonna be sweet.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be awesome.
Speaker 4: Here's the other thing the NFL announced in the last
Speaker 4: twenty four hours. The NFL approved the ability to now
Speaker 4: play as many as ten international games starting next season, not.
Speaker 2: This season, but the following season in twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 4: That's up from eight. Now you may be saying, well,
Speaker 4: I thought there was nine this year. Well, technically eight
Speaker 4: of those are league run and then the ninth one
Speaker 4: is the agreement that the Jags have with Wembley Stadium,
Speaker 4: So and that had to be apparently negotiated on the
Speaker 4: side in the NFL. The players that do agree to whatever,
Speaker 4: but The point is is the max was eight. Now
Speaker 4: they've uped it to ten. However, the other twist is
Speaker 4: the league has also voted to strip the team's ability
Speaker 4: to protect any home games from international play. In the past,
Speaker 4: NFL teams could protect two games. They're like, no, we're
Speaker 4: not putting this one internationally. We need these two to
Speaker 4: be at games. Now that's gone. So now we're up
Speaker 4: to ten games a year and teams do not have
Speaker 4: the right to protect any games whatsoever. Wow, that's kind
Speaker 4: of interesting, right, Like, I don't think it makes a
Speaker 4: ton of sense to put like Vikings Packers in London.
Speaker 2: No, definitely not right, it doesn't. I don't think the
Speaker 2: NFL wants to do that.
Speaker 4: They just want the right to do that if the
Speaker 4: right scenario pops up.
Speaker 2: Has there been a divisional game not at a.
Speaker 9: Would guess the only team that's maybe done it is Jacksonville.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's true. Yeah, that'd be the only one that
Speaker 2: makes sense.
Speaker 5: I don't think it'd be good for the fandom and
Speaker 5: the experience that it is playing a division rival, right.
Speaker 2: And the team that lost the home game would rightfully
Speaker 2: be pitched totally, no doubt. M man, How can I
Speaker 2: find that out. Yeah, it's a hard one, a lot,
Speaker 2: it's a lot to look up. But I would guess
Speaker 2: not recently.
Speaker 5: But I would also say, yeah, if it was somebody,
Speaker 5: it's probably Jacksonville. Yeah, it have to be because like,
Speaker 5: imagine not playing at US Bank Stadium for Vikings Packers,
Speaker 5: it would.
Speaker 2: Be it would be crazy.
Speaker 4: Jets and Dolphins played in London fifteen, Oh that game?
Speaker 4: Texans and Jaguars are they in the division?
Speaker 2: Sure? Wembley in twenty six. Yeah, there's there actually has
Speaker 2: been a handful fair enough.
Speaker 5: I just can't imagine fans of that home team would
Speaker 5: be very happy about that, right, or just seeing random
Speaker 5: Bengals and Browns jerseys in the crowd as you're playing
Speaker 5: your division.
Speaker 2: There's jerseys everywhere though. It's so weird.
Speaker 9: It's so fun though. Yeah, that's the London games were elite.
Speaker 3: Because they like the colors, you know, right, they don't
Speaker 3: know it's cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Andy's two hammered to know what.
Speaker 4: He's wearing and don't drink like Cardinals and Niners played
Speaker 4: in Mexico. Okay, so there's a handful Chargers in Chiefs
Speaker 4: played in Mexico.
Speaker 2: Wow, Yeah, I guess more than we thought. Wow, definitely,
Speaker 2: there you go something you ever did.
Speaker 4: Not only you know, I still don't think like the
Speaker 4: all time big rivalry.
Speaker 2: Should be overseas. No, not at all.
Speaker 4: No, Right, those probably should stay in the Americans for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what we did.
Speaker 6: Obviously we went overboard talking about the in the schedule
Speaker 6: for the vikings, but I didn't I never really got
Speaker 6: a gander at the rest of the games.
Speaker 3: How many Christmas Day games are there this year? Are
Speaker 3: there two? Or the three? Are there?
Speaker 6: I know that the Bears and the Packers play on Christmas?
Speaker 6: I think in Chicago?
Speaker 2: Is it like? Are they going to treat it though?
Speaker 2: Like Thanksgiving? Are there? Is there a Christmas Eve? A
Speaker 2: Christmas Day?
Speaker 4: And then there's three Packers at Bears, Bills at Broncos,
Speaker 4: Rams at Seahawks. The first two are on Netflix, the
Speaker 4: third one is on Fox.
Speaker 6: How about the Bills at Broncos on Christmas Day? How
Speaker 6: Duffalo Bills all the way in Denver?
Speaker 2: Yeah, those games will be elite.
Speaker 3: But oh man, what a terrible thing to those Christmas? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Rightmore it should be thank you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is why I stand up for the NBA.
Speaker 2: They deserve their day.
Speaker 3: Give them that day so I never have to work
Speaker 3: that day.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you want a day off of sports, So
Speaker 4: what better way than have five straight NBA games that
Speaker 4: you won't watch.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 9: But he does watch the late night NBA game to
Speaker 9: close out Christmas Day though.
Speaker 2: It's a Christmas miracle. Yeah, it's his favorite thing to do.
Speaker 2: He also doesn't like when division.
Speaker 4: Rivals square off in the NBA on Christmas Day because
Speaker 4: everybody knows how important divisions are.
Speaker 6: I think that should be the NBA out of the country,
Speaker 6: like on the moon.
Speaker 2: Then think about that.
Speaker 4: Have you ever once heard of a team excited about
Speaker 4: winning the division in the NBA?
Speaker 2: No? No, even once. Are we in like a Are
Speaker 2: we in the same Weren't we in the same division
Speaker 2: with like Seattle one?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 4: A second here, So this is this is how worthless
Speaker 4: divisions are. And I think we've done this before. But
Speaker 4: don't look this up for a second. Hangout, Nobody help them,
Speaker 4: Nobody help daddy.
Speaker 2: Sauce.
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm looking it up just to make sure I
Speaker 4: even know, because I'm not sure I do. Oh see,
Speaker 4: I think I would have forgot about.
Speaker 2: That, Sauce.
Speaker 4: Yes, sir, name the four other teams in the Timberwolves
Speaker 4: division Denver.
Speaker 2: That's one.
Speaker 4: You love sports, sam Antoni incorrect.
Speaker 2: Used to be I think maybe way back in the day.
Speaker 2: But nope, Houston, Nope.
Speaker 5: No, which state's similar to Colorado?
Speaker 2: He's not good with geography. You didn't do a lot
Speaker 2: of learning. There's no team in the Jazz. The Jazz
Speaker 2: is two. There's two more. They're not even close to
Speaker 2: each other or US. One team is currently still playing
Speaker 2: m HM.
Speaker 9: So so Oklahoma Oklahoma City is the division winner this year.
Speaker 2: Who cares about that?
Speaker 3: You're so right, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 4: And the last one is the Portland Trailblazers. So that
Speaker 4: our division Oklahoma City Denver us.
Speaker 2: Portland in Utah. It's the widest dision. The reason why
Speaker 2: you have.
Speaker 3: To be like that.
Speaker 4: Sorry, well, the other reason why it's stupid is you
Speaker 4: don't get rewarded for winning your division.
Speaker 2: Nothing, no, no, So it's irrelevant. It's completely irrelevant.
Speaker 3: Regular season, is it?
Speaker 2: Olla Hawk's right.
Speaker 3: It should started like seventeen games like the NFL.
Speaker 6: Eighteen games like the NFL, make each game matter more,
Speaker 6: charge a ga billion dollars. Nobody's hurt by the end
Speaker 6: of the season, and then you start the playoffs and
Speaker 6: it starts to mass.
Speaker 9: How about this hawk The Game two of the Spurs
Speaker 9: Thunder is tonight, Game one of the NBA Finals is
Speaker 9: like June.
Speaker 2: Third is forever away for Blue Jeans a long season.
Speaker 4: I mean, there's a division called the Pacific Division, and
Speaker 4: Portland isn't in it.
Speaker 2: That makes no sense.
Speaker 3: Boston is.
Speaker 2: It's just like Boston they converted, but the Pacific. It's
Speaker 2: all going to change. When when Seattle in Vegas could
Speaker 2: a team.
Speaker 4: Good, that's our chance to get away from Wemby. I'm
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to like this isn't hyperbole. I do
Speaker 4: think everybody in the West is in huge trouble for
Speaker 4: the next decade with Wemby.
Speaker 2: It's insane.
Speaker 4: So it's not like we haven't seen dominance in the past, right,
Speaker 4: Lebron didn't win thirteen consecutive NBA titles, Kobe didn't, Jordan
Speaker 4: almost did.
Speaker 2: He just took those two years off.
Speaker 4: But my point is like even the greatest players of
Speaker 4: all time don't win it every single year. I just
Speaker 4: think the number of titles Wenby's going to get is
Speaker 4: more than a couple. So you have so few windows
Speaker 4: to do it, and I just think the easier path
Speaker 4: for the Wolves is the Eastern Conference because otherwise you're
Speaker 4: just going to always have to hope that he gets
Speaker 4: banged up when you're seven to six.
Speaker 2: As you know, with these it's hard.
Speaker 4: If Wenby has his career derailed by injury, sure, then
Speaker 4: the window is wide open in the West. Otherwise it's
Speaker 4: going to be an uphill battle every year and it's
Speaker 4: not impossible. You're just going to have to get really lucky.
Speaker 5: If Wemby stays healthy, he's going to go down as
Speaker 5: a top three player of all time, like AWESO question. Yeah,
Speaker 5: maybe one, which is crazy to say right now, but
Speaker 5: he's unbelievable.
Speaker 2: No one's ever moved the way he's moved.
Speaker 6: No, guys, I have a really really great breakdown of
Speaker 6: something for you, and I'm very pleased.
Speaker 2: Sports.
Speaker 6: Okay, So, our friend Wendy Blackshaw, who is responsible one
Speaker 6: of the main people responsible for bringing the NFL draft
Speaker 6: to Minnesota, we've traveled the world.
Speaker 2: With her, sure Sun Country back in the day, right exactly.
Speaker 6: So I sent her a text and I asked her
Speaker 6: this question. I said, congratulations, blah bla blah. I said,
Speaker 6: I have a question for you, where will the actual
Speaker 6: people be gathered for the NFL picks? Will it be
Speaker 6: in the stadium or out in front of the stadium.
Speaker 6: The crowd may be in the hundreds of thousands, so
Speaker 6: we're confused as to where all these people will be,
Speaker 6: she says, thanks. First, numbers from every market include all
Speaker 6: three days, not just the crowd you see on TV,
Speaker 6: watch parties throughout the region and the state. Also, so
Speaker 6: in Pittsburgh, the actual draft stage area which was the
Speaker 6: camera shot with tens of thousands of people, That was
Speaker 6: a capacity night one before the draft even started. Then
Speaker 6: they opened up the stadium, people watched on big screens,
Speaker 6: watch parties where everywhere.
Speaker 3: So the numbers we read aren't just.
Speaker 6: From the site where the draft is being held, it's
Speaker 6: from draft spots all over the city.
Speaker 2: Makes sense for sure, But.
Speaker 4: I will say the reason why we're still asking where
Speaker 4: are all these people going to go? Those giant shots
Speaker 4: of the crowds that you're talking about where it looks
Speaker 4: like a music festival, there is that? Where is that
Speaker 4: in Minneapolis? Where are we doing that part of it?
Speaker 4: Even if the even if the eight hundred thousand number
Speaker 4: is all encompassing three days, all over the Twin Cities.
Speaker 2: Where is that giant pile of people going to go?
Speaker 3: She says, going to be the NFL. She says the
Speaker 3: NFL hasn't yet determined the stage foot print yet.
Speaker 2: Interesting.
Speaker 4: I would think you don't approve it until you say
Speaker 4: where exactly is this.
Speaker 6: I'm sure they've got a plan, but they haven't they
Speaker 6: have interesting right, right? So and Wendy, please feel free
Speaker 6: to call if you'd like and give us more information
Speaker 6: if you have more questions.
Speaker 3: But it's got to be outside, I should say, Oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, every single one of them has been outside, so
Speaker 2: you don't think so.
Speaker 3: I think it has to be in the stadium.
Speaker 4: I think that's going to be the slame. No offense,
Speaker 4: But I think indoors is lame. Every single one of
Speaker 4: these has been outdoors and looks awesome.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think it's a cool stadium.
Speaker 9: They care about the fans, right, I mean they lambeau
Speaker 9: Is football, you know americanas PA calls it.
Speaker 2: That wasn't in the stadium. They didn't use the stadium
Speaker 2: for that.
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm not. I don't know. I just I could
Speaker 3: see him opening the doors and and I don't.
Speaker 9: Know, Yeah, I think what they do is they will
Speaker 9: build something that will cover the media and the and
Speaker 9: the draft itself. It'll feed back outside into like a
Speaker 9: covered area where there's a big green room and all
Speaker 9: that and the rest of it will be uncovered.
Speaker 4: Here's the other thing. Here's the other thing. And I
Speaker 4: know this is a twenty year old story. And I
Speaker 4: know it was the NBA Draft and it was in
Speaker 4: one of those rooms like in Madison Square Garden or
Speaker 4: whatever Radio State of Music Hall.
Speaker 2: I forget wherever I was, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 4: NBA Draft was one of the most boring things I've
Speaker 4: ever been to in my life.
Speaker 2: Come on, but but here's why.
Speaker 4: But what I'm saying, I mean, honestly, it was brutally boring.
Speaker 4: But you just sit in a seat and you just stare.
Speaker 4: There's nothing to do. If you have it in US
Speaker 4: Bank Stadium and people are in seats, it's gonna feel
Speaker 4: like a freaking library. It has to be outside where
Speaker 4: people are walking around, like a music festival. You're getting drinks,
Speaker 4: but sitting down watching a draft, they're all gonna fall asleep.
Speaker 5: And I get the indoor outdoor thing, but like the
Speaker 5: outdoor area, there's no room.
Speaker 2: Now commons par it's plenty or it'll be just fine.
Speaker 2: And I also think they'll across the street from the stadium.
Speaker 2: They have bands playing like before every pick. I mean
Speaker 2: it's they jazz it up between picks, especially like because
Speaker 2: you fall later it goes yeah yeah, I mean.
Speaker 3: People don't fall asleep during games.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the NFL draft is elite. The NBA draft is boring,
Speaker 2: right Hawkby, Even though I'll watch most of the NBA draft,
Speaker 2: if not all of it, you love it. I love
Speaker 2: any draft. You love when people pick men?
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, yeah, you know I thought about it, but
Speaker 3: you do.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I like I like men being picked in the sports.
Speaker 2: I'm just sorry, I'm just reading texts. I misread it.
Speaker 6: Jake Golday, by the way, did sign So we finally
Speaker 6: got all our draft picks. kN let's go lineback around
Speaker 6: the Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna be good.
Speaker 3: He's gonna be great. You'll learn from the man, the myth,
Speaker 3: the legend that is Van Ginkle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, beautiful hair, they all do it.
Speaker 4: Tim Peel is still alive. I would have guessed we
Speaker 4: would have heard. I think we would have heard if
Speaker 4: he passed, if somebody would have taken.
Speaker 3: A noticeable, something noticeably missing in the world. If hm hmm,
Speaker 3: I mean.
Speaker 2: Yeah, an energy void would be sad.
Speaker 4: Yeah you don't feel it, uh, Fan five and a
Speaker 4: second headlines later, Parkner foxes here powers you wanted to
Speaker 4: join the fan
