Speaker 2: five three.

11
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 3: Four time now four five questions? Well, actually three, but

12
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 3: five sounds like more than four. Question number one.

13
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 4: It's now time to take an in depth look at

14
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 4: the welfare of the Wolves.

15
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: The Wolves started the night in a sixteen to nothing

16
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: hole and trailed by as many as nineteen points before

17
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: storming back in a thirty three eighteen fourth quarter and

18
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: a one o four one oh three winner of the

19
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: San Antonio Spurs last night at Target Center. Anthony Edwards,

20
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: defended by Victor Wimbinyama, hit the deciding bucket with sixteen

21
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: point eight seconds to play. The Wolves have won five

22
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: of their past six games. Common What sticks out to

23
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: you from last night's victory over Victor and the Spurs.

24
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 5: Well that you know, and I just wish this was

25
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 5: more often. But we've talked. I talked about it here

26
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 5: earlier in the show today and even brought it up

27
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 5: last week. I guess I'm I'm becoming convinced that it

28
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 5: isn't just the Wolves. It seems like maybe there's an

29
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 5: exception or two somewhere. I thought maybe it was Oklahoma

30
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 5: City Thunder. I mean, they were like twenty seven and

31
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 5: one or twenty two and one, and then they went

32
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 5: six and six over the last twelve. I don't know

33
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 5: if it's a lack of effort or they're getting bored

34
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 5: because they've had such a you know, you build up

35
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 5: so much equity and you have such a nice run,

36
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 5: as you say, oh, we can kick back now for

37
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 5: a long kind of relax a little bit, do some

38
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 5: what do we call it when you take days off

39
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 5: load management? But I don't know. I think maybe part

40
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 5: of the reason with them is because they're the defending champs,

41
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 5: because they were playing at such a high level that

42
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 5: when they no matter who they played, they're getting the

43
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 5: other team's best effort. And I mean, unless you end

44
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 5: up being the greatest team that's ever been assembled. You're

45
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 5: gonna lose some games. But the Wolves had been in

46
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 5: this habit of losing to terrible teams, even losing to

47
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 5: good teams. But at least in those games, they generally

48
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 5: went back and forth and they were close, and they

49
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 5: would win their fair share of games. Again some of

50
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 5: some of the better teams. And I just and I

51
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 5: can't help but because they themselves and a lot say

52
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 5: oftentimes it's just a lack of effort. That's what they say.

53
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 5: It's lack of effort. And to had the quote where

54
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 5: he said, I just think we don't want to play

55
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 5: these games, you know, the regular season. They want to

56
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 5: get back to the playoffs. But they wanted to play yesterday.

57
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 5: Even though they got off to the bad start, they

58
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 5: rallied back. Golbert had a flagrant foul. You'll be suspended

59
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 5: for tomorrow's game at Milliwak Yay. Golbert has now accumulated

60
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 5: six flagrant foul points in the season, which results in

61
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 5: one game suspension. Every flagrant foul Golbert receives the rest

62
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,839
Speaker 5: of the season will be a two game suspension. Here's

63
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 5: a Golbert City because it's tough because I try to

64
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 5: be contesting shots in the heat of the moment. I

65
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 5: don't think there's any time in intention. There's at any

66
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 5: time an intention of getting anybody hurt or putting people

67
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 5: in dangerous situations. It's tough, but I got to play

68
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 5: through it, says Gobert. Also, I'll get to this. This

69
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 5: this is there's some really good stuff in this in

70
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 5: this story Fisherugh after west Side, the gamer from Chris Hines,

71
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 5: who will do that later. I guess the ability to

72
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 5: come back and play a really good team, cause san Antoni,

73
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 5: with women Yama and all the rest of their cast

74
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 5: of characters, that's a really really good club. And to

75
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 5: be able to come back and win like that, and

76
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 5: it was was it two nights before? Who did they

77
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 5: lose to? They had they had another unincleveland yeah, an

78
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 5: uninspiring effort where defensively they were just not there. And

79
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 5: it does annoy me. I guess it shouldn't because I'm

80
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 5: not part of the ticket buying public, so I don't

81
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 5: have to feel like I'm being cheated. I don't spend

82
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,559
Speaker 5: a lot of time watching their games, but I feel

83
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 5: for the people that do it. As my job is

84
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 5: you know, sports talk show host. I'm supposed to express

85
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 5: what I feel, and I don't lie. I just think

86
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 5: it's wrong. But maybe they were looking ahead. Maybe they

87
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 5: were maybe they had it, you know, they had circled

88
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 5: it on their calendar. Got this game with uh wemben

89
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 5: Yamas and Santachova to come back after being down sixteen

90
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 5: to oh and then you know the fourth quarter, they

91
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 5: just totally dominated and they they shut They basically shut

92
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 5: win Minyama down his fourth quarter. He have very pedestrian numbers,

93
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 5: so good for the Wolves. We'll just see what happens.

94
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 5: We'll wait come April when playoff start, We'll see where

95
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 5: they go.

96
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: I will say I did see the highlight of the

97
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards when he had Victor wem Minyama on him,

98
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: and a lot of the people are describing it as

99
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: if as if like and beat him, Yeah, which I

100
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: guess technically he did, but he also got help, Like

101
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: he made a couple of moves he started to taking

102
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: towards the hoop and like he had a teammate that

103
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: was basically setting a pic and then and his defender

104
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: so like when min Yama couldn't stay with him, so

105
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: It's not like he raced around Victor wem Minyama beat

106
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: him on him.

107
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 5: Here's what I'll tell you. There, there's a and I'm gonna,

108
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 5: I'm gonna we'll take it. We'll take it a little

109
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 5: deeper dive into this, maybe even next segment, maybe one thirty.

110
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 5: But got all day, you know, he got until three

111
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 5: because no Rose in today. But there was a nice

112
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 5: piece about Julius Ran about where he's been, where he's going,

113
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 5: where he's at, and I think maybe that has something

114
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 5: to do he is playing. When they made that trade

115
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 5: for Randall and de Vincenzo for Big me Out, I

116
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 5: was against it and I was like, you know, women,

117
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 5: you know Bodega Cat. He was the heart and soul

118
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 5: of that club, even more so than Edwards. Edwards has

119
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 5: become that now and Edwards was probably pushing that way.

120
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 5: I still thought it was still more Towns' team. It's

121
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 5: it's now obviously an Ants team. But Randall, ever since

122
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 5: he he had the injury last year, when he came back,

123
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 5: the Wolves went on that terrific run. He played really

124
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 5: well and he's not he's not taking a step back,

125
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 5: So really good to see. But we'll talk about that

126
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 5: a little bit later.

127
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 3: Question number two NFL No Huddle, Which.

128
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: Team had the most convincing win this weekend? Buffalo, New England,

129
00:06:54,640 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, Chicago or San Francisco Read him again, slower Buffalo,

130
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: New England, uh, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco with the

131
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: Rams beat Carolina three, but they had to come back

132
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: there in the form.

133
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was almost That would be the.

134
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: One where you kind of call it, he said, Carolina game,

135
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: and they did.

136
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 5: That was won they had, they had to lead late.

137
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: I enjoyed.

138
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 5: I watched every game start to finish, except last night

139
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 5: when they win. When New England went up sixteen to three,

140
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 5: it was over. I was a boring game, yea, and

141
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 5: it was it just yeah, it wasn't he didn't do

142
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 5: anything for me. I guess the Bears just because of

143
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 5: the comeback, though. I did not think San Francisco was

144
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 5: going to beat Philadelphia. They are a team that they

145
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 5: are suffering all sorts of injuries. Right. They didn't get

146
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 5: the big left tackle back what's his name for the

147
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 5: forty nine ers, Trent Williams. They got Trent Williams back,

148
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 5: and I think he played well. They have so much

149
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 5: any injuries on that club. I mean they're missing Fred

150
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 5: Warner now, they haven't had Fred all year. But you

151
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 5: take off the best linebacker. I think he's the best

152
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 5: linebacker football. He's gone.

153
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: I mean, are their top two wide receivers exactly, So

154
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: you hasn't played all year? Well all and kill got

155
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: hurt in the game.

156
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 5: Yes, and and Kittle's probably out for the season. So

157
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 5: I was like, and you know, there are other two

158
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 5: the three linebackers they started the season with are all gone.

159
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 5: All three are gone. They have guys that are practice

160
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 5: squad players now. And it goes to Troy I via

161
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 5: have depth, and it's it's not all about star players

162
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 5: a lot of you know, and that's the NFL because

163
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 5: there's just one and done. I mean, Philupi and San

164
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 5: Francisco played next week. It might be the office away,

165
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 5: but I was kind of surprised. I thought Philly would win.

166
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 5: But yeah, I was saying, that sets up a rubber

167
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 5: match between Seattle and San Francisco that should be really good.

168
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 5: But I would say the San Francisco one was to

169
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 5: me the most I would say the most surprising.

170
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: Despite blowing a big lead versus the Bears, the Packers

171
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: are expected to give head coach Matt Lafleur a contract extension.

172
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: Common is that the right move for Green Bay.

173
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 5: Somebody texted me and said, head and Cheese was on

174
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 5: that day, and he wants Lafleur gone. Badger Bob wants

175
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 5: Lafleur none. Badger Bob is a you know, he's a

176
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 5: Packer fan, but he's one of the more rational Packer

177
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 5: fans that I've ever come across. That's why I guess

178
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 5: I like him so much. Here's what he said. I

179
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 5: was a richard to him, you know, and you know me.

180
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 5: I said after they lost, I said, not as bad

181
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 5: as the twenty fourteen NFC Championship game, but mighty close.

182
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 5: I'd rather finish eight, nine and eight. We talked about

183
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 5: this earlier. He said, not even close to twenty fourteen.

184
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 5: I said after the Cleveland Dallas debacles that Lafleur and

185
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,719
Speaker 5: not get a contract extension from ed Policy. I think

186
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 5: he galvanized that. With our twenty twenty five finish, including

187
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 5: two huge meltdowns in Chicago, our Super Bowl holds were gone.

188
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 5: In November when we lost Elton Jenkins and Tucker Craft.

189
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 5: Mike's ACL was icing on the The good news is

190
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 5: we're very young and talented. We need a big game

191
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 5: caliber coach to take this talent to places. Lafloor will

192
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 5: never go, go Pack go. I don't know if I

193
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 5: agree with that, but it's well think, Thank than God,

194
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 5: he pays closer attention to that. I don't know if

195
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 5: I can always blame it on the coach. For instance,

196
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 5: the loss to the Bears in the in the the

197
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 5: last regular season games, did he tell Romeo Dobbs to

198
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 5: botch an onside kick recovery? I mean, is that on

199
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 5: the floor? So many things are out of coach's controls.

200
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 5: They were saying that. They were saying a lot of

201
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 5: that about Jimmy Harbaugh too. We were talking about John

202
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 5: Harbaugh the sticker makes the deal go yeah, And there

203
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 5: was the one where they're tight end what was his name?

204
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 5: The Marks Barcaters dropped what would have been a game

205
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 5: winning catch. Or is that on the coach?

206
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 6: Now?

207
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 5: I understand sometimes you say, well that they can't get

208
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 5: over though maybe there is something there and if you

209
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 5: can't fire the whole team, he fired the coach. But

210
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 5: I don't have a problem bringing it back. I think

211
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 5: he's one of the bright young coaches in the league.

212
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 5: They've made postseason play in print there every year's with there.

213
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 5: Now it's gone from I think back to back NFC

214
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 5: Championship Game appearances to back to back Divisional round appearances.

215
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 5: Are not getting bounced into wildcard round? But I don't

216
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 5: I don't know. I guess if you can get if

217
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 5: you could get John Harbaugh. But Harball played it cool too.

218
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,599
Speaker 5: He said, you know, I'm gonna wait till after the

219
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 5: weekend before he started doing any reviews. I take a

220
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 5: little bit of a break. So a lot of teams

221
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 5: are on hold because I think almost every team in

222
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 5: the league that has a.

223
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: Coaching in the first time, he is their first one.

224
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: I think, so could we do like a thirty second answer?

225
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I don't know if I can pull that off.

226
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 5: I'll try.

227
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: Steelers hosted Texans today. What's your prediction.

228
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 5: I want a Rodge to win. It's just crazy how

229
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 5: it's come. I wouldn't say full circle because full circle

230
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 5: would be back to not like you. I actually like

231
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 5: a Rodge now now that he's not with the Packers.

232
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 5: I'd love to see a Rodger and the Steelers one.

233
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 5: But I think that defense with the Texans is so good.

234
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 5: But a Rogers crafty man, how much he hasn't seen

235
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 5: so quote postseason play though remember he has not you

236
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 5: know those NFC championship games of the Packers. Those last

237
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 5: in his last few years, he made some real blonders

238
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 5: and did not play as well as he probably should add,

239
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 5: But I'll uh, I'll take Aaron and in the students.

240
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 5: That's what I'll do.

241

Speaker 3: And that's it for today's edition of five questions, Well,

242
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,280

Speaker 5: twelve twenty six, Common said something nice about the Timberwolves.

268
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 5: How did those words taste coming out of your mouth?

269
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 5: Please nominate Common for a preposterous for the preposterous tournament,

270
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 5: even even proposteros Stateman tournament. I've said kind things about

271
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 5: the Wolves as a matter of fact last week. You

272
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 5: get praise when it's when what you accomplish is praiseworthy.

273
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 5: If you don't, you don't what am I supposed to say?

274
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 5: What what when it when the team fails miserably and

275
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 5: you're the leader of your team, Anthony Edwards says, I

276
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 5: guess that's just Timberwolves basketball. I'm supposed to say nice

277
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 5: things about that. Ah, yes, it is Timberwolves basketball. Or

278
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 5: when he says, I don't think we like playing these

279
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 5: regular season games. We just want to move on to

280
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 5: the playoffs. Tell that to the people that pay money

281
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 5: to buy tickets for the regular season games. What am

282
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 5: I supposed to pray? But when you do, and when

283
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 5: you lose to terrible teams in terrible city with terrible fans,

284
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 5: you know. But and plus it's sort of I I

285
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 5: mentioned a headline from a roy Ce piece last week.

286
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 5: Royce was talking about Gopher football and the headline was,

287
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 5: I'm not a Gopher hater. I'm an old guy that

288
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 5: has higher standards. Once you've been to the Western Conference

289
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 5: finals back to back, don't you expect better effort a

290
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 5: team that now where they doubled down on their reffort

291
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 5: in their journey, that we know how.

292
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: Tough it is now.

293
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 5: We just had two spectacular seasons and we got beat

294
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 5: four games to one in the Western Conference finals back

295
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 5: to back years We've got work to do. Instead. You say,

296
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 5: we don't really want to play these games, Well, come on, man, Thunder,

297
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 5: don't say that. I know they're twelve and six and

298
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 5: six in the last twelve, but did Golden State ever

299
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 5: do that? I'm at Denver. How about teams that have

300
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 5: won world championships? They don't all of a sudden say well,

301
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 5: we don't want to play these games. But what I'm

302
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 5: seeing from the club now, especially beating Oklahoma City with

303
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 5: a wonderful effort the other night and then falling behind

304
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 5: sixteen nothing at Bullseye and coming back and winning that

305
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 5: game against the Spurs with women Yama and all that,

306
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 5: they could end up going to the Western Conference finals.

307
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 5: You might have to get You're probably gonna have to

308
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 5: get by either the Spurs or the Thunder to get there.

309
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 5: And that's that's leaving out maybe Lebron and the Lakers

310
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 5: in Houston. And I mean, there's there's a lot of

311
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 5: good teams in the West, so when they do well,

312
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 5: we will throw them bouquets. Here's what Aunt had to say.

313
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: Uh.

314
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 5: John Krazinski writes, he's beat writer Wolves Athletic. He writes this,

315
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 5: it's a quote from and with the game. When he shot,

316
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 5: he says, well, first Ant had another shot. First he

317
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 5: backed down superb Spurs defender Steven Cassel or Stephen. I

318
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 5: don't know if it's Steven or step And he won

319
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 5: the Rookie of the Year last year. He had a

320
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 5: turnaround jumper over him on the baseline to put the

321
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 5: bull Bulls of one O two, one hundred with two

322
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 5: minutes to play. That was Minnesota's first lead of the

323
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 5: night with two minutes to go in the game. Then

324
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 5: came the moment everyone was waiting for it, the Wolves

325
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 5: down one. In the closing second seconds, Edwards got Wemby

326
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 5: on a switch. They stared at each other just above

327
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 5: the three point arc, the best hope for American basketball

328
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 5: facing down the Frenchmen, who everyone believes will own this

329
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 5: league one day soon. It's almost like the Revolutionary War, right,

330
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 5: the French Revolution. To show how much reverence Wemby has

331
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 5: already earned, one of the cockiest, boldest players in the

332
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 5: league said he winced when he drew the matchup. It

333
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 5: was a river occasion when the scorer supreme didn't know

334
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 5: where to go. Here's what Edwards said, Here's the quote.

335
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 5: I was like damn Do I get the shot? Do

336
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 5: I driving him? I was confused. I never been confused.

337
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 5: I ain't gonna lie. I'm like poop, I'm going to

338
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 5: throw it to jew. I don't know what to do

339
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 5: right now. After a contemplation, Edwards crossed over serge to

340
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 5: his right, used a deaf screen from Randall on Castle,

341
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 5: then put on a wicked stutter step to get past

342
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 5: women Yama to the basket. He was met there by

343
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 5: Luke Cornett, but he lofted a scoop shot off the

344
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 5: glass for the lead. Edwards said, I feel like he

345
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 5: thought I was going to take a jump shot. For sure,

346
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 5: he probably would have blocked that bleep, so I had

347
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 5: to drive him for his part. When ben Yama said

348
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 5: that he didn't think he had to play on Edward

349
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,239
Speaker 5: shot in that scenario, here's what Wemby said. We had

350
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 5: a rotation and I don't think I'm He's French, right.

351
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: He is French Suckly blue.

352
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 5: Wee Suckley blue. We had to rotation. I don't. I

353
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 5: don't think I do a great friend chance because I

354
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 5: don't think I'm supposed to get that shot. To contest that.

355
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 5: I think I'm supposed to trust the help's going to

356
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 5: be there and go rebound. So it sounds like you

357
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 5: throw a teammate under the bus, But I guess you

358
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 5: can do that if you're him. But I really liked

359
00:18:54,480 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 5: what what the work that Randall did on wembin Yama.

360
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 5: Uh it said, here's what he writes. It says, Chris,

361
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 5: it's curious. But the Wolves of Meen have seen Randall

362
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 5: respond when he's facing a big moment to climb, and

363
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 5: there was none bigger than Mount Wemby. On the first

364
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 5: possession after he entered the game, Randall made his presence

365
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 5: felt his pressure sent wemban Yama tumbling into the Wolves

366
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 5: bench for a turnover, drawing a roar from the crowd.

367
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 5: There was more where that came from. With two minutes

368
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 5: to play, the Wolves up to Randall got a great

369
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 5: contest on a jumper from wemban Yama, and he did

370
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 5: it again on the final possession of the game, using

371
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 5: his body to push Wemby off his spot and make

372
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 5: him word hard, work hard for a look at the basket.

373
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 5: Colbert said, it was incredible. It was incredible. I thought

374
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 5: his competitiveness, his physicality was incredible. He took the challenge.

375
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 5: We were down fifteen. Oh, now he's talking about aunt

376
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 5: I'm sorry. How did you jump to that already? Anyway?

377
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 5: Oh no, he was talking about a Randall. I'm sorry,

378
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,719
Speaker 5: he was talking about Randall. He took the challenge. We

379
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 5: were down fifteen, down ten. He took the whole challenge,

380
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,239
Speaker 5: affected the whole team. This is what the Wolves been

381
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 5: trying to pull from Randall consistently since acquiring him last

382
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 5: season for Big Bodega Cat with gobert Mann in the

383
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 5: middle and Jade and Daniels swooping around the half court

384
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 5: like a tarrat deck. Now, Minnesota had been a defense

385
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 5: first team for years. Getting Randall up to that standard

386
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 5: has not always been easy. He's put together some great efforts,

387
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 5: but he can be moody when things aren't going well

388
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 5: in struggle to get stops. But he was really good

389
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 5: last night. It said. The Wolves have believed all along

390
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 5: that Randall has this kind of two way play inside

391
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 5: of him. They have been leaning on him to give

392
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 5: more at the defensive end, just as hard as Randall

393
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 5: was putting his shoulder into wemben Yaba on Sunday night.

394
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 5: And that leads to his story. Tennabee and we'll get

395
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 5: to it on the other side of the break as

396
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 5: we up against the clock, where Randall talks about where

397
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 5: he's been, where he's going, where he's at. And I

398
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 5: hate to use myself as a comparison or as an example,

399
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 5: but I know exactly where Randall's coming from. I'll explain.

400
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 5: We'll do that on the other side of the break.

401
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 5: It's the common Man program with common In tend to

402
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 5: be right here in the fan?

403
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: Why time in what's happening with their favorite KMFM program?

404
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 1: Makeaboys hurting the Bradshaw on Brian text line less than

405
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 1: what we have to say by texting your messages six

406
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: four six eighty six. That's six four six eighty six

407
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: sender message and data rates apply, so.

408
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 5: You know they proposter statemo or pego earn. Deuces still

409
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 5: never heard the Earth? Is there a way you can

410
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 5: send that SoundBite to me to my phone so I

411
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 5: can play it for Deuce or you could send it

412
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 5: to Deuce. Is there a way to do that? Because

413
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 5: he's never heard of the earn? He knows all about

414
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 5: it and he does it all the time, but he

415
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 5: doesn't have the right inflection. He doesn't do it exactly

416
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 5: right now. I want him to hear what it's like. Anyway,

417
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 5: I was talking about Julius is.

418
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 1: He's a listening live now he just played on the air.

419
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 5: Okay, well, let uh a close circuit to deuce. I

420
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 5: don't know he could be listening. He might not.

421
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: He's heard it all beotht. I think it's from this one.

422
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: What if we get a two zero lead in this

423
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: game tonight?

424
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 6: Never bad dad to lead, but I almost think you're

425
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 6: better off if this game stays scoreless for a long time.

426
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 6: I think you're almost better off with the tempolate we

427
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 6: saw the last time he's seen Hi play, which was

428
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 6: early April at the XL Center, And you know, keeping

429
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 6: zero zero as long as possible.

430
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: When questioning, Yeah, you're overtake.

431
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 5: It's it's bad talking. Julius Randall traded to the Wolves

432
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,719
Speaker 5: last year in a blockbuster. I don't know, just I

433
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 5: know that Rosen pronounces either Don sick or Don chicch

434
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 5: deven Chenz over Deven Senzo. He said, just spends Moody's

435
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 5: and he uses just pronunciations. Do you think he calls

436
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 5: him Randall and random lay just depending upon what Moody's

437
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 5: in when they traded for I wasn't a big fan

438
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 5: of the trade, you know, but I understood what they did.

439
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 5: They you know, a lot of big contracts. They maybe

440
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 5: just thought that was a way to go. And we

441
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 5: still don't know if it's I still think it's been

442
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 5: a good trade for both clubs. We'll see if either

443
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 5: team wins a championship before the other doing large part

444
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 5: because of that trade. But when Randall first came here,

445
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 5: you know, I I think he's like a lot of

446
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 5: I don't think he wanted to leave New York, if

447
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 5: I remember correctly, And I was like, well, I play here,

448
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 5: that's where I live, so where I work. Blah blah blah.

449
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 5: People don't only be traded. And it says here story

450
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 5: written by Chris Hine. This was over the weekend. It

451
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 5: says Randall enjoys a lot about his new home, specifically

452
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 5: the food scene, the basketball fit. After some initial awkwardness,

453
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 5: last season has been a good one. But Minnesota is

454
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 5: also where Randall has done the work to improve his

455
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 5: mental health. And here's what it says. It was my

456
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 5: dark star moment. Randall said, I just wake up every

457
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 5: day extremely happy. There's really no price on that he

458
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 5: said before a game in New Orleans early in December,

459
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 5: Randall arrived at Smoothie King Center four hours before a

460
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 5: seven pm tip off. For more than an hour, he

461
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 5: went through some work to start warming up his body

462
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 5: for the night. He arrives nineteen minutes before most of

463
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 5: his teammates, something he started the last season while recovering

464
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 5: from a groin injury he's never deviated from. It is

465
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 5: what he said, Understanding what I felt like I needed

466
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 5: to get to, Understanding what I felt like I needed

467
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 5: to do to get myself ready for a game, get

468
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 5: my body feeling right, getting my mind and all that stuff.

469
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 5: Three hours was the number. About four point fifteen, Randall

470
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 5: took to the floor for his pregame workout. This used

471
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 5: to happen closer to five point forty five, Also a

472
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 5: time when fans are filling into the arena, watching you

473
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 5: and teammates and opponents and want to share a quick word.

474
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 5: Now at four point fifteen, the arena's empty. Here's what

475
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 5: he says, Being there early before anybody gets there, being

476
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 5: in a quiet arena, it just mentally felt like I

477
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 5: was prepared and I was in the game before it

478
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 5: even started. I didn't realize that part of it will

479
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 5: have a bigger effect than the actual physical part. Randa

480
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 5: went through a twenty minute workout with Wool Sports physical

481
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 5: therapist Lisa Pataki and assistant Chris Hines. They were vibing

482
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,719
Speaker 5: to some Choka Khan music. Pelican's players were ballasting at

483
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 5: the other end. When Randal was done, team and Anthony

484
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 5: Edwards came to the floor through some Little Baby music

485
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 5: on a nearby sports baby I Love Little Baby. He

486
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 5: does a great song called Stress of Both Worlds and

487
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 5: Randal sat off to the side, sweating but smiling. Nobody

488
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 5: was around him. For those few moments Randal could just

489
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 5: be himself. He said, it's one of the coolest, most

490
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 5: peaceful things that you can do. He said, those early workouts,

491
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 5: you can hear the way the ball bounces, you hear

492
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 5: the way it goes through the nets, you hear just

493
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 5: the crisp like every single thing. It's like you're in

494
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 5: tune and becoming one with the arena and everything before

495
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 5: you even out there. So it's weird out loud saying it,

496
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 5: but it's a connection with the game and it sounds

497
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 5: like it's something he's never done before and maybe that

498
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 5: is part of the reason why he is playing at

499
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 5: a level now that, especially on the defensive end, consistently

500
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 5: that we haven't seen. Of course, now again, I'm going

501
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,479
Speaker 5: to buy the people I trust they tell me as

502
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 5: I read the gamers. Because I don't watch a lot

503
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 5: of Wolves basketball, I might tend to watch a bit

504
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 5: more now, and now that I realize that all the

505
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 5: league just takes days, I'll just wait for games when

506
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 5: they're playing teams they feel out of the same level

507
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 5: as them. If they're going to play a terrible team,

508
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:44,479
Speaker 5: I don't know what kind of effort I'm gonna get

509
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 5: out of. It's not worth watching. But this is where

510
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 5: ten me. I don't like to draw analogies or comparisons,

511
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 5: but I'm about to hear that's why I get to

512
00:26:53,600 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 5: the radio station like four hours before the show. Okay,

513
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 5: I guess that doesn't work.

514
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: I always love I do it though when it comes

515
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 1: to and there's definitely not silence when you're around, there.

516
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 5: Isn't a lot of silence. I do stand up comedy

517
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 5: for those that didn't know. As a matter of fact,

518
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 5: if you'd like to see my stand upack, it's sort

519
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 5: of a combination of I don't know what I compare

520
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 5: myself to, probably a combination of Dennis Miller, Jerry Stiller,

521
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,719
Speaker 5: and Phyllis Diller. I always love that Meat Sauce will

522
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 5: join me along with Larry Mondela Guy. They said, they said, oh, sure,

523
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 5: you can work New Hope Cinema Grill, and you can

524
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 5: work the Mermaid, you can work for Gotten Star, and

525
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 5: you can work the Sanctuary, Grandma's and Duluth, but you'll

526
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 5: never ever work the Eagles Club in Rochester where we're

527
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 5: going to be there, Meat Sauce and I long with

528
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 5: Lerimandela Guy. That'll be one show only on January thirty first.

529

530
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 5: show old. I think it's a seven thirty start, and

531
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 5: then we're going to be in man Cato February twenty

532
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 5: first at the legendary Cato Ballroom. Tickets available there by

533
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 5: going to Kato Ballroom dot com slash tickets. So I'd

534
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 5: like to see you there for either one of those shows.

535
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 5: But I get to the comedy shows really early. You

536
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 5: can ask Sauce if we have a seven thirty start.

537
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 5: I'm there like five o'clock. I like being there or

538
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 5: are I getting there? Taking a look at the stage,

539
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 5: see what the lighting's like. I also, I think I

540
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 5: told you this. I do a set list where I

541
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 5: write down I just have one, you know, two or

542
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 5: three words for every bit I do. Like chairs mean

543
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 5: I're gonna talk about the Vikings defense, so I just

544
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 5: write chairs, So then I know what's gonna do, meat sauce, hockey, um, soulmates, dogs, dying.

545
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 5: So I know what bits I'm going to do when

546
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 5: I just look down and then I do the bit.

547
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 5: So I like getting there early. I really do just

548
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 5: the opposite of meat sauce. He shows up just before

549
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 5: the show starts, which is fine too. You've got to

550
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 5: be kidding me, But I don't know, Like when you

551
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 5: played Hide, you played at a high level where you

552
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 5: won that light to get there early, late, just when

553
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 5: everybody else showed up. Did you have any routine you

554
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 5: stuck to.

555
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: I always wanted to get there early, even as a coach. Now,

556
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: like I think it drives Leo crazy that I want

557
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: to be the one of the first ones there. Okay,

558
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: I would even say, you know, I've had the pleasure of,

559
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: you know, being a credentialed media member for like the

560
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: state high school hockey tournament, and to me, there's nothing

561
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: better than like championship Saturday. You know, I'm I'm I'm

562
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: there working right the A game than the double A game.

563
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: So you know, you're there like three hours early for

564
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: the double A game and it's just pure silence. Yes,

565
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: And I just I love the feel of that. And

566
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: it slowly starts building, you know, the fans start entering

567
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: the building, they start a little bit of a buzz

568
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:02,719
Speaker 1: of the noise, and the band starts coming in, they

569
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: start practicing. Like I don't know what it is, there's

570
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: just something about that atmosphere that that I love every

571
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: single time a quiet hockey rink with just like the

572
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: zamboni going or something like that.

573
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 5: I love it. I like the you know when you

574
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 5: talk about the buzz of the crowd, we get that

575
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 5: same thing when people are filing into flops. I'm sorry, yeah,

576
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 5: I'm with you.

577
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: I just think it's cool your next flop sweat and

578
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: tears to her. Can you just get there early and

579
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: just get us a digital video of You're just sitting

580
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: in the in the in the chairs in the Vikings defense.

581
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 5: And I'll sit on the Mikings Sat, I will getting

582
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 5: ready for your show. Yeah, I will, because I I do.

583
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 5: I do enjoy you know, now, golf, I don't get

584
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 5: there early. What we talked about. I like playing early

585
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 5: in the morning when it's quiet, you know, I just

586
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 5: I just like that.

587
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, the problem with golf is I love I

588
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: love getting there early for golf because I like going

589
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: to the range and hitting some putts and chips. But

590
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: the round of golf already is so long, it's hard

591
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: to justify getting there even earlier. Yes, yes, at least

592
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,239
Speaker 1: when you have kids like that, you know you're absolutely right,

593
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: it's already I'm consuming enough.

594
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 5: Here's one text me says that's been my philosophy on

595
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 5: the Wolves for a while now, the Wild I watch

596
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 5: every game I can, But unless there's absolutely nothing to

597
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 5: need some background noise, why would you watch the Wolves play?

598
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 5: A bad team goes for the whole NBA to be fair,

599
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 5: and I think that is part of the problem. I

600
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 5: think it does get that way. Someone says, who told

601
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 5: you wanted to stay in New York? There's literally a

602
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 5: video a fans ripping his picture off the wall in

603
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 5: the arena, throwing it and stomping on along with other videos.

604
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 5: But I guess home is home. I don't know. I

605
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 5: thought I remembered him saying he was surprised by the

606
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 5: trade and wanted to stay. Maybe I read the quote

607
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 5: wrong just going by what I thought I read. Maybe

608
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 5: it was wrong. I don't know. I know there was

609
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 5: an adjustment period. Certainly he admits it, and he says

610
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 5: he's found the way he likes to approach it. This

611
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 5: one says, just curious. How many people at KFA N

612
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 5: have seen your stand up at? Have you? You've never

613
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 5: gone to a show I went to on a long, long,

614
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 5: long time ago, a long long time ago.

615
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: But I pretty much know all your material now. Yeah,

616
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: well let's change a little bit. I haven't read your

617
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: book yet either.

618
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 5: No, and you can't get him anymore. They're all sold out, devastated,

619
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 5: They're all sold out. Where's the trumpet? My barber haircutter

620
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 5: guy wants me to swap out one of my flops

621
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 5: with in tears to her shirts for one of his

622
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 5: salon t shirts. I said, okay, sure, don't tell Meat

623
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 5: Sauce though, because we split the profits. I'm just going

624
00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 5: to take one. Just not tell Meat sauce. By the way,

625
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 5: you know, when I read that story about about you know,

626
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 5: on the fisherref Factory west Side back from two thousand

627
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 5: and one, you know, Brera was talking about how I've

628
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 5: never rowed this.

629
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: I was.

630
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 5: I was doing free show for Little Bee and Avex.

631
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 5: They were doing the old bit. Let me guess you

632
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 5: got nothing today. I got plenty of I'm gonna read

633
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 5: this and then Little Bee. Every time i'd read some

634
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 5: she goes meat sauce and I'm like, well, yeah, but

635
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 5: I I did all this is me. I did it

636
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 5: thirty years before meat sauce. I've said this before. I

637
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 5: was meat sauce before meat sauce with meat sauce, and

638
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 5: he's meat sauce. Not as of a head, just not

639
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 5: as big as Yeah, I don't have as big of

640
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 5: a head and I have a little bit more hair.

641
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,239
Speaker 5: And the biggest difference between the two of us, though,

642
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 5: is I would never consider exploiting my children to prop

643
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 5: im sagging ratings. I mean, he's you know, Louis everywhere

644
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:50,959
Speaker 5: on Insta, on Twitter. It's just I just don't even understand.

645
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 5: I don't know how you do that. You just use

646
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 5: your kid over and over and over.

647
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 6: I know that.

648
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 5: You're wild. Did they have a mixed bag over there?

649
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 5: Did we did we win and lose? Or what do

650
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 5: we do?

651
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: I looked at that well, because I was out of

652
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: town and had some our own hockey stuff going on,

653
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: I did not get to watch either game. I did

654
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: see the highlights, but I'm not gonna be able to

655
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 1: give you a thorough breakdown. I think it was Thursday Nights.

656
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: You probably still had a show after the Thursday night

657
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: game where they won in Seattle. They won that one

658
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: in overtime with the Mat Zucarell overtime game winner, and

659
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: then they blew three leads against the New York Islanders

660
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: Saturday night, and that was their first game back at

661
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: home after the longest road trip in franchise history, and

662
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,280
Speaker 1: they lost to the Islanders in overtime. So three points

663
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,720
Speaker 1: in the last two games. Yeah, it's fine, it's fine.

664
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can't wait.

665
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: Quhen Hughes had three assists again Saturday night.

666
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 5: Three assists. Yeah, So I guess I can't want them

667
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 5: buy overreacted. You know, I see it on CBS Sports.

668
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 5: You know they're the king of putting lists together. But

669
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 5: one of the bits they do is they do the

670
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 5: They'll throw three or four different topics and they'll say,

671
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 5: is it an overreaction? Right? Becaus a matter of fact

672
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 5: today was they had a they do this after like

673
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 5: especially after after the the playoffs playoff games. Let me

674
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 5: see if I can find it right here by the way,

675
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 5: Yeah I did. I mean I kind of looked at

676
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 5: the first I looked at the first results, and I

677
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 5: saw that it seemed as though Vancouver had a lot.

678
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 5: They had a better record five games after the trade

679
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 5: than the wild did. And it seemed like some of

680
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 5: our players that we played to them traded them were instrumental,

681
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 5: and Quinn really hadn't done a whole heck of a lot.

682
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 5: But apparently he's doing just fine right now. Uh, I

683
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 5: guess I can't find any of them now, but they'll

684
00:35:54,680 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 5: do like if something happens in a game, aim, well,

685
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 5: is it an overreaction to what happened? Or is this

686
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 5: something you know? It's sort of like when you do

687
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 5: the trend of mirage kind of a thing, right, And

688
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 5: so yeah, I wasn't sure if it was a trend

689
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:19,720
Speaker 5: of mirage with Quinn, but uh, the Wilder are wasting

690
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 5: no time war money on promoting Quinn. You've seen the

691
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 5: billboards of Quinnesota everywhere, right, Quinnesota, get it, Minnesota, Quinnisoda,

692
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 5: got it in case you were wondering what that was.

693
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 5: But yeah, they've wasted no time war money promoting his arrivals.

694
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: So is this season star?

695
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 5: Yeah?

696
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: And I know this is gonna uh, you're gonna make

697
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: fun of me for this. I always find it. I'm

698
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: always fascinating with like the National Hockey League, such as

699
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 1: the highest level, best best skaters in the world if

700
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: you take away figure skaters, best skaters in the world,

701
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: and then to see one guy who is like a

702
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 1: man amongst boys when it comes to skating with who

703
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: you know, he's playing with all the best players in

704
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,879
Speaker 1: the world. And like, like you watch a Quinn Hughes

705
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,760
Speaker 1: power turn. I don't even know if it call it powered.

706
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: He is more efficient at changing direction than anyone in

707
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,760
Speaker 1: the league. And it's probably not close. What's a power

708
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: A power turn?

709
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:17,439
Speaker 5: Power?

710
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: Basically, just like if I was skating to you and

711
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: I quickly curled curled back towards myself like Mark Rose,

712
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,879
Speaker 1: and when he changes his take very much, well, he's

713
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: he's more backpeddaling, which Quinnhues is very going to do

714
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: the backwards skating as well. Okay, but like the efficiency

715
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: in his ability to turn and escape is mind boggling

716
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: to me because he's with the best players in the

717
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: world and looks so much better than them at it.

718
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 5: We or you have brought up on a couple of occasions,

719
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,839
Speaker 5: and a lot of other people that I trust agree

720
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 5: with you that you know, Garrett's probably gonna do something

721
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 5: else because now we've got money to play with. Next

722
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 5: year we probably won't have as much because that's when.

723
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: Compre contract kicks in. It goes up to seventeen mil.

724
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 5: And then we gotta we gotta hope to resign Quinn

725
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 5: and he doesn't come cheap, and there might be some

726
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 5: other players as well.

727
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what it will depend how much the

728
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: salary cap goes up too. I mean, they're banking on

729
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: the salary cap going up a lot.

730
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 5: And so and look especially, it's not my money, it's

731
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 5: it's Craig Leepol's, well, Craig Leepols and his wife's money.

732
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 5: I'm all for it, Ago, And you know, I think

733
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,760
Speaker 5: you said ideally, you know, if you had the Geniees bottle,

734
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 5: you rubbed it. She said you have three lamp and

735
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 5: she said you have three witches. Your first one would

736
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 5: be for three more wishes, and your second one would

737
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 5: be for a first line center. Would you say that

738
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 5: would be number one if you could on a wish list? Yeah,

739
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 5: And it's kind of you you're waiting to see what

740
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 5: frontline centers might be availed. When is trade deadline time

741
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 5: in the national hoskets?

742
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 1: Like a week indo March. I don't remember the exact day,

743
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,919
Speaker 1: but there's early March. So they have the Olympic break

744
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: coming up here in about a month or so, and

745
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: that's going to be end. I think that'll stop things

746
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:55,919
Speaker 1: for about two weeks.

747
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 5: But let me ask you a question. I don't follow

748
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 5: the Olympic Hockey as closely as I once did. Do

749
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 5: we have any wild players playing it?

750
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: There's a lot of wild players playing in it, Okay,

751
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:07,439
Speaker 1: So just for USA alone you have Quinn Hughes, Matt

752
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: Bowldy brock Faber, we have a bunch of Swedes. Both

753
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,879
Speaker 1: our goalies are playing for Sweden, and so is Jewel

754
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: Erksk and Jonas Brodein. Uh Nico Sterm is playing for Germany.

755
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: Is that it. That might be it Russia doesn't have

756
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,800
Speaker 1: they don't have a team in the Olympics. Otherwise Corollrice obviously,

757
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,479
Speaker 1: and then you know Matt Zugarello is the best player

758
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 1: in Norway and it's not even close. But they didn't

759
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 1: qualify it for the Olympics. So Caprice and Zugarella are

760
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: not in the Olympics.

761
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 5: Did I catch it?

762
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: Did I say Jewel Erks?

763
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 5: And I think you did. Okay, let me ask you

764
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:44,919
Speaker 5: a question.

765
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: Is the.

766
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 5: Who selects the players for.

767
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: Each country has Each country has their own Olympic committee.

768
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: So Bill Garron is the GM for the USA. Oh

769
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: so he had input from others, right, but ultimately he

770
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: made the final decision.

771
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 5: On those for USA. Yeah.

772
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: Just one other wild thing, I know, I think I

773
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 1: talked about this last week. I'm just gonna bring it

774
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: up because the wild play of the New Jersey Devils

775
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 1: tonight seven o'clock Grand Cassin Arena. That's the team the

776
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: other two Hughes are on. Yeah, if you're a wild fan,

777
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,399
Speaker 1: the fear was always Quinn's gonna go leave to play

778
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,760
Speaker 1: with Jack. So that's why we need to root against

779
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 1: New Jersey Devils. We want them to be bad. So

780
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 1: Jack's going to be like, well, this is going nowhere here.

781
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: I need to get out of here so that Jack

782
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,959
Speaker 1: will come here. Right now, the Devils are six points

783
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 1: out of a playoff spot and are not having a

784
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 1: good season. Okay, so let's just bury him further into

785
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: the basement and get jacked out even more.

786
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 5: Would it be safe to say than to just even

787
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 5: when I say, long term the next season or two,

788
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 5: that the Wild look like they got a brighter future

789
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 5: than New Joys. I don't think its can change.

790
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: But would you say, well, I mean you would have

791
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: thought going into the season Jersey had a very bright future. Yeah, okay,

792
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 1: So I don't know what's happened to them there. I

793
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: know the other Hughes brother Luke has not played very

794
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: well for them, Okay, so I think it's a little

795
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 1: surprising than they are where they are. But let's just

796
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: hopefully they keep descending to the bottom of the Eastern Conference,

797
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 1: so Quinn will get Jack to come here.

798
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 5: You know, and he has no capitalize. You know, Quinn

799
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 5: is a good skater if he amazes someone as good

800
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 5: as tend to be. Because if you did one to

801
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 5: say the same ballpark, a lot of NHL players when

802
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 5: it came to skate. Yes, so if his skating impresses you,

803
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 5: his slightly better than mine. Yeah, how's your power turn? No,

804
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 5: where's it called power Well?

805
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Quinn's a little shorter than I am,

806
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: so you can make a little bit more efficient. I'm

807
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: a little bit more lumbering out there.

808
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 5: But you don't always take a back seats to a

809
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 5: lot of power turns, that's for sure. We'll take a break,

810
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 5: we'll come back with one more hour to go. Oh

811
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 5: here on the uh Common Man program. Here in the

812
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 5: Fan
