But you got new lines. 16 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 3: According to Joe Smith, the top line doesn't change with 17 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 3: Hartmann caprisof Suquerelo. The second line gets reunited, Johansson gets 18 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 3: pushed up again with Eric Sneck and Boldie. But then 19 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 3: the third line, my guy Danila Yarov back in the lineup, 20 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 3: centering Bobby Brinkin Tarasenko. That I agree, So how do 21 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 3: you feel about these this juggling. 22 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 4: I'm okay with it right now. 23 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 2: Right now they have Nick Flino off entirely, which is interesting. 24 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 4: That is interesting. 25 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 3: So yeah, the fourth line is mcaren, Moose and Trenyon 26 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 3: is your fourth line, and then Hues and Favorite back together. 27 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 3: So playing tomorrow the Canucks the care so the return 28 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 3: if they're healthy, if they would have been healthy of 29 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 3: Rossy william So I haven't been following the Canucks line 30 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 3: combinations as closely as I should. Exactly, they're not a 31 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 3: very good team that should be a w So there's 32 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 3: your wild update. Finally back in action tomorrow and we're 33 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 3: looking forward to it. 34 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: Well. 35 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 2: I think I mentioned during the uh well the several 36 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 2: times the last few days, that you had this unusual 37 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 2: off time this late in the season, which I think 38 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 2: might be helpful to the while to take a long, 39 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 2: hard look at themselves and maybe you strip everything down 40 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 2: a little bit. Maybe it gives you a chance to 41 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:09,959 Speaker 2: breathe in a way that we don't associate with the 42 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 2: end of season, right where it feels like you're playing 43 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 2: all the time and you're getting ready for the in 44 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 2: this case the postseason. I'm hoping this time was used wisely, 45 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 2: they say, all right, we don't have to reinvent the 46 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 2: wheel here, but we're not on a really encouraging path, 47 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,399 Speaker 2: really haven't been since the All Star I should say, 48 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 2: the Olympic break. 49 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 4: So therefore, let's use that time. 50 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 2: Whatever it is, whether it's line changes, whether it's because 51 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 2: Louis said yesterday and I think this is an underrated 52 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 2: part of this thing. 53 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 4: But Louis agreed with me and. 54 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 2: Said, look, we are obviously better offensively than we used 55 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 2: to be, especially in the post quinnisra Quinnesota era. But 56 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 2: he said, I think we're a little loose in our 57 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 2: zone defensively, and that to me, if you go through 58 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 2: the best stretches of this season before Quinnesota got here, 59 00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 2: that to me was the bread and butter. 60 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 4: They knew who they were, who they weren't. 61 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 2: And I think you can say, well, we have more 62 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 2: offense now, we can play a little looser, but I 63 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 2: think you have to keep that within limits. And I think, 64 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 2: to me, that's what we've seen play out the last 65 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 2: few weeks. So to me, time off should be an 66 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 2: opportunity to re establish who we are and the mode 67 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 2: of play that gives us on a regular basis. The 68 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 2: best chance for success. Doesn't that make sense? It does? 69 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 3: I've just all you care about his offense. How you 70 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 3: win games. You score a lot of times. When we're 71 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 3: eliminated the first round, they can't score. 72 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 4: That's true. 73 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 3: Quick Vancouver lines update your top left wing Liam Ogrin 74 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 3: on the first line, wow, second line center Rossi and 75 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 3: your first left defenseman Steve boy So you so it 76 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 3: could It could. 77 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 2: Be a big we didn't need them day tomorrow, or 78 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 2: it could go the other way. 79 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 3: I expect the first TV time out of the first 80 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 3: period to be a very long, hand waving standing ovation. 81 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 4: Okay, day school will take the high road. 82 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, for sure, I think I think so. So 83 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 3: you're Timberwolves. There is an injury updates. This was an 84 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 3: hour ago posted McDaniels outs. But questionable is Anthony Edwards. 85 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 3: We've played this game a bunch, you and me. Anthony 86 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 3: Edwards listed as questionable, and then right before the game 87 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 3: he's available and he's going to play. He's still listed 88 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 3: with the right knee. I'm not even going to try 89 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 3: to say that pain syndrome. But the Wolves, they get 90 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 3: the Pistons tomorrow six o'clock. You'll hear that on the 91 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 3: Timberwolves channel iHeartRadio apps. So a very good team. Yeah, 92 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 3: they're playing in Detroit. 93 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 4: Playing well. I should mention yes, I think it was yesterday. 94 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 2: I've given them credit for taking Oklahoma City into ot 95 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 2: In Oklahoma City, I think the previous night fairness is in. 96 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 2: I guess you could say puffery. I believe okay See 97 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 2: was sitting for starters. Now, Okay, so he's got depth, 98 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 2: but that's a bit of a mitigating circumstance, which tells 99 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 2: me that that has to be factored in to that 100 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 2: particular equation. But Detroit still without Kate Cunningham, they've kind 101 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 2: of gotten their equilibrium back after a brief stretch actually 102 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 2: before he even got hurt, or. 103 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 4: They looked like they were fading a bit. 104 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 2: I thought they looked really good against the Wolves, and 105 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 2: they're I love the way they guard played defensively. They're 106 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 2: a tough team. And again, the Wolves are in a 107 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 2: position now where really, to me, it looks like the 108 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 2: only question is going to be whether we're going to 109 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,919 Speaker 2: be five or six because of the tie breaker we 110 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 2: don't have against are we lose to Denver And by 111 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 2: the way, if we want to get the tiebreaker with Houston. 112 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 2: We got to beat them. When we play them again. 113 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 2: I think it's this weekend, is it not. I think 114 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 2: we play Houston again. 115 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 4: So off to see. 116 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 2: But Detroit's good, and we're in a tough stretch and 117 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 2: we're still not one hundred percent healthy as well, and 118 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 2: we may just sort of have to live with whatever 119 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 2: our positioning might be. The Wolves will be in Houston 120 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:56,119 Speaker 2: April tenth. 121 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 4: Oh okay, so it's a while off. Okay, April ten, 122 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 4: that's even later in the season, all right away. 123 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 2: By the way, the Artemis two, Yes, the launch countdown 124 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 2: is active. We're in eighteen minutes and change channel until 125 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 2: the launch countdown. 126 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 4: It's certainly on CNN. 127 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 2: But I should also add that that battery concern officials 128 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 2: are saying it is not of such a concern that 129 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 2: it is should get in the way of the takeoff, 130 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 2: the countdown, you know, coming up, as I said in 131 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 2: another or the launch taking place another eighteen minutes. 132 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 3: Are they gonna orbit the moon or are they gonna 133 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 3: touch their golling? We're back, getting on there, We're back. 134 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 2: I can't wait. 135 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 4: We are back, baby. 136 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 3: Speaking of leaving a place and going to another, if 137 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 3: familiar with Kevin. 138 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 2: Warren who he is. 139 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 3: Yes, very yeah, very familiar. He said, we're in an 140 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 3: excellent position. I recently said. The target is to make 141 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 3: sure we have a decision this is on the Bears 142 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 3: new stadium by springtime here soon late spring, early summer 143 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,359 Speaker 3: would be that target. Of course, the choice is to 144 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 3: stay in Illinois and go to Arlington Heights. Yeah, or 145 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 3: you can go right across the which is still like 146 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 3: twenty three minutes from downtown Chicago to Hammond. Indiana probably 147 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 3: get those cheaper taxes and more home from the state 148 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 3: if you go across the border. So it is the 149 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 3: Chicago Bears or the Gary Berryes. Your thoughts, I. 150 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was an interesting series of com I think 151 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 2: this was Kevin Warren speaking at the owners meetings, correct, 152 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 2: And I actually thought they were going to have to 153 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 2: make a decision quicker. But I think, O, we're finding 154 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 2: out what they're clearly playing out. This now strikes me 155 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 2: as we know what Indiana's best offer is and we 156 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 2: like it. We're gonna give Illinois one last chance to 157 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 2: get in the ballpark of it, and we're willing to 158 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 2: wait that out because I think, deep, deep, deep down, 159 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 2: they may not admit this they'd still rather stay in Illinois. 160 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 2: I think they aren't bluffing when they say they are 161 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 2: prepared to go to Indiana for the reason you just 162 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 2: laid out. I don't think it's going to be as 163 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 2: big an issue as it feels at the moment if 164 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 2: it were to happen. But I'm sure they're saying, well, 165 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 2: let's see, let's play this out and and see. Because 166 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 2: you know, they own a bunch of land in Arlington Heights. 167 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 2: That's that they bought. They started buying it up the 168 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 2: old Arlington Arlington Racetrack section of a bit of land 169 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 2: I think about five or six years ago. So I 170 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 2: think that's still probably their first choice. But they got 171 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 2: to have enough of an offer, and there's still some 172 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 2: I think there's some bills kind of hung up in 173 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 2: the Illinois Assembly House. Whatever it is that needs that 174 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 2: needs to be really kind of sort of ironed out. 175 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 2: How far is Illinois willing to go. So it's going 176 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 2: to get resolved eventually, and it will be an interesting 177 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 2: move for sure, one way or the other. And remember, 178 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 2: if you're Kevin Warren, this is really what you were 179 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 2: hired to do, and you got to get you know, 180 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 2: you have to get it done to the to the 181 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 2: satisfaction obviously the family that you're working for, the McCaskey family, 182 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 2: Pallas family, et cetera. 183 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 4: So we'll see where it goes. 184 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 3: I'm not an elite Chicago geography mind, but is that 185 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,839 Speaker 3: similar to like an Arden Hills situation for us, where 186 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 3: it'd be pretty far out least the I know, the 187 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,599 Speaker 3: Hammond one. I've looked at that on the map, but 188 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 3: I haven't actually done the Arlington Heights thee. 189 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 2: Earlington Heights is basically northwest suburbs, so it's in the 190 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 2: heart of the suburbs. 191 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 4: It's it's it's actually a. 192 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 2: Little further than Hammond and Downtown, but it's it's it's 193 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 2: in the same ballpark. 194 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 4: It's just in another direction growth. 195 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 2: But it's a major Yeah, yeah, you could say that 196 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 2: it's a major the suburbs around there. 197 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 4: I'm I I went to high. 198 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 2: School elk Grove Village, which is basically one and a 199 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 2: half suburbs off of Arlington Heights. It's a you know, 200 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 2: it's a high population area, high density area as well. 201 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 2: And look, in my perfect world, they never leave the 202 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 2: what the lakefront, the Bay. I associate the Bears with 203 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 2: the Lakefront, but I think that ship has pretty much sailed. 204 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 2: I don't think there's much way around it, and frankly, 205 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 2: the city has done such a bad job of maintaining 206 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 2: that structure. The field issues have been legendary in that regard. 207 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 2: So I still like to think of the Bears as 208 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 2: the City of Chicago's team, but I think that's over. 209 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 2: I think now it. I don't think there's another Illinois spot. 210 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 2: But in terms of location people have, there's a massive 211 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 2: population in the northwest suburbs that would probably prefer that 212 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 2: certainly too, because they are certainly further away from Hammond, Indiana. 213 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 2: Now there are southern suburbs, not quite always as rich 214 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 2: Pash and Tony on the east side of the south Side, 215 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 2: but a lot of the rich Tony ones are north and. 216 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 3: Northwest, and that's been the move lately, has just been 217 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 3: instead of doing the suburbs and having a giant parking 218 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 3: lot around, which doesn't look great it's in the suburbs, 219 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,839 Speaker 3: But you build a whole city around your stadium that 220 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 3: you own everything, and then you crack a bunch of money. 221 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 3: You can take my braves for that, and I love it. Finally, 222 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 3: Tiger Wood's latest update earlier today, a judge in Florida 223 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 3: granted him to travel outside the US in order to 224 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 3: enter basically treatment facility. He's pleading non guilty or not 225 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 3: guilty to the misdemeanor charges or was a non guilty plea. 226 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 3: So Tiger, he's stepping away. Did the statement a couple 227 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 3: of days ago that I'm stepping away from golf and 228 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 3: trying to get treatment. Ultimately, I think that's as good 229 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 3: of a result as you can ask for in a terrible, 230 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 3: terrible situation of no one got hurt and he's going 231 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 3: into treatment and hopefully gets better, but he's going to 232 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 3: be outside the US, so it's probably gonna be pretty cushy. 233 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 4: Is he is saying the right stuff? 234 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,199 Speaker 2: Yes, The issue is going to be whether he does 235 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 2: the right stuff and what the judge I think accepted 236 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 2: his attorney's view of, Well, whatever he's gonna do, this's 237 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 2: gonna be intense. He's gonna be in the middle of 238 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 2: significant treatment for a significant amount of time, and we 239 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 2: want privacy, and it's easier easier to get that privacy 240 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 2: outside of the United States of America. I don't know 241 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 2: if that's true. I guess it might be although if 242 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 2: you're Tiger Woods, I don't know if there is such 243 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 2: a thing as privacy. But the statement, which I think 244 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 2: broke last night a little bit, maybe after we were done, 245 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 2: or even as we were wrapping up, is what you 246 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 2: want to hear, which is an acknowledgment of a situation 247 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 2: and saying what frankly a lot of golf people need 248 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 2: to understand at this point. Forget thinking and wondering about 249 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 2: Tiger and is there any magic left in him? Or 250 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 2: I love him back in the Masters or whatever. Yeah, exactly, 251 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 2: it's that part of it's got to be over because part. 252 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 4: Of what that's done is I think. 253 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 2: That ongoing desire and interest has actually made it easier 254 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 2: for him to put off what clearly is fundamentally his 255 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 2: life and getting that in order and stop playing that 256 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 2: particular game. We know why people want to play because 257 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 2: he's Tiger, he's legendary. But you know he's saying the 258 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 2: right stuff. The statement is solid and sound, but in 259 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 2: the end, he's made statements like that before. The proof 260 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 2: will be in the pudding. Is the late great Danny 261 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 2: Green once said, It's going to be about if he's 262 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 2: to go through the treatment that he obviously needs what 263 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 2: he's able to do with it, and that somebody is 264 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 2: finally going to convince him that, no matter where he 265 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 2: is on all of this stuff, he's never going to 266 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 2: drive again because he just shouldn't. That's where I don't 267 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 2: have a lot of tolerance. The addiction is the addiction 268 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 2: that stuff's real and people deal with it every day 269 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 2: and should not be minimized. But I like to think 270 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 2: that when you put yourself in position where you're not 271 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 2: the only one being hurt by what you're doing, but 272 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 2: then you know the addiction or getting in a vehicle 273 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 2: where you're impaired might affect your ability to drive your vehicle, 274 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 2: then you're putting a lot of other people in harm's 275 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 2: way before that much is one hundred percent true. All right, 276 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 2: I got some text to get to and then we've 277 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 2: got Kessler. Two quick corrections. You asked me about this launch. 278 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 2: The project, the new Historic Moon Mission, will include a 279 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 2: landing in the Moon. This flight apparently is going around 280 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 2: the Moon, but it's the precursor for what is the 281 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 2: effort to get back on the Moon for the first 282 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,839 Speaker 2: time in a long time. Yeah, maybe it's a scoting trip. 283 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 2: I don't exactly know how you want to call it. 284 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 2: And also the chief reminds us that the Pistons sat 285 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 2: for players four starters in that game too against Oklahoma City. 286 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 2: So at the time of year where you almost need 287 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 2: to know a lot of the details to even fully 288 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 2: interpret victory, moral victory, moral loss, etc. All those things 289 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 2: might indeed be true. We'll get to a couple of 290 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 2: texts and then prepare for Kessler at the bottom of 291 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 2: the arm and. 292 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 4: It looks like the countdown. 293 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 2: For the Artemis two launch, the mission, the so called 294 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 2: mission to the Moon, is stuck at the ten minute mark, 295 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 2: and I'm looking at a CNN headline that reads final 296 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 2: go no go poll ahead of liftoff is taking place 297 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 2: right now. I mentioned there'd been discussion earlier about some 298 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 2: concern about a battery. I don't have a lot of 299 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 2: detail on that, but earlier it was viewed as not 300 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 2: something that was going to get in the way of 301 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 2: the launch going off on time. So there's a little 302 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 2: bit of delay here. We'll keep you posted on that. 303 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 2: I'm sure Kessler will have the very latest on it as. 304 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 4: As well. 305 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 2: Go look at the Houston schedule. I think could easily 306 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 2: run the table and get the five or four. You know, 307 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 2: I probably am. I am underestimating Houston because everybody looks 308 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 2: at them as the most vulnerable team, but their schedule 309 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 2: is more inviting and they actually have been playing a 310 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 2: little bit better lately. So at this point, all we 311 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 2: really know is the Wolves are not going to go 312 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 2: as high as three. I think it's unlikely they go 313 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 2: as high as even four. They're pretty much, I think, 314 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 2: going to be stuck with five or six, which again 315 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 2: is doesn't have to be the end of the world, 316 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 2: but I think that's pretty much where they're at, especially 317 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 2: when you factor in their schedules as well. Let me 318 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 2: get to a couple of other texts. This is Pete 319 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 2: from pequot Hi, Dan, the Twin season has started. 320 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 4: Really. 321 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 2: I was listening to a Tom Bernard POSC podcast and 322 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 2: he mentioned how the Twins are so important to him, 323 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 2: but when they suck, they suck. Evidently the local sports 324 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 2: people could not or would not say that. I think 325 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 2: you just agreed with Tom Love Tom Bernard legend, radio legend. 326 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 2: But I will tell you that it's not exactly discovering 327 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 2: electricity to suggest the Twins are terrible, and no there 328 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 2: have been any number of people, some of us at 329 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 2: this station and elsewhere, who have repeated that early and often. 330 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 2: That's that's really not anything outside of the ordinary. In 331 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 2: most media circles, they may not use the language as 332 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 2: quite as colorfully in that regard. 333 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 4: But we have been. 334 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 2: Talking about the dysfunction of this franchise, in this organization 335 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 2: for really quite some time. That's not exactly new Wild Hockey. 336 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 2: Can the Wild make it past the first round? That's 337 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 2: out of nowhere? 338 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 4: Yes? Can they? 339 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 2: Yes, they can make it out of the first round? 340 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 2: Will they Well, I don't know. We'll have to see 341 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 2: what happens the rest of the season. We'll have to 342 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 2: see how healthy they are. We'll have to see. There's 343 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 2: a number of variables, and I think it's you just 344 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 2: feel like you want you you wait until you get 345 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 2: a little closer to it before you take whatever position 346 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 2: you are on or want to. Regarding this particular issue, 347 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 2: I had another one of their texts that I wanted 348 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 2: to Dan, you say that Tiger should ever drive again, 349 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 2: yet you have advertised on how to get your license 350 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 2: back or DUI? That feels a little hypocritical, don't you 351 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 2: think Big Postan No. Seven three are a big posta guy. 352 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 2: I don't think it's hypocritical at all. The truth of 353 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 2: the matter is Tiger Woods has, unlike most human beings, 354 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 2: the means and the resources to literally never drive again ever. 355 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,199 Speaker 2: And if you have those means and resources, then to me, 356 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 2: that's what that's what people have been clamoring for in 357 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 2: his case for quite some time. But not everybody has 358 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 2: that particular option, and we've now in the case of 359 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 2: Tiger Woods, has have We've had a number of mishaps 360 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 2: to that extent. So no, I don't think there's anything hypocritical. 361 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 2: And to a certain extent, you could say, or I 362 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,439 Speaker 2: would say, I'm saying it more to make a point 363 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 2: than to be literal about it. Anybody who goes through 364 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 2: the steps to clean themselves up and even use the 365 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 2: process like smart start to put themselves in a position 366 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 2: where they can get back on the road legally and 367 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 2: safely on the basis of of of the the the 368 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 2: equipment they have to use to do so, should have 369 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 2: absolutely that opportunity. And if you want me to say 370 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 2: Tiger should too, Yeah, My point is if you're Tiger Woods, 371 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 2: and you have the profile that you have, and you 372 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:37,120 Speaker 2: have the means, uh, to to whatever demons you're battling, 373 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 2: some of them very real obviously when it comes to 374 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 2: pain and pain issues, and and and and and perhaps 375 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 2: abuse of some of the pills that he's taking that 376 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 2: why not take full advantage of that so that you 377 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 2: at least once again don't put other people in harm's 378 00:19:54,480 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 2: way as as as as well, what's next? What else 379 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 2: do we have to Yeah, here's another text about the now. 380 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 2: It looks like the headline I'm getting from CNN is 381 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 2: that NASA has given the final goal for the Artemis 382 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 2: to launch, although I see that the countdown is still 383 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 2: frozen and it looks to me at ten minutes. So 384 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:27,959 Speaker 2: I'm sure Kessler is going to be able to give 385 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 2: us the very latest time this week. We might be 386 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 2: able even to give you some live viewing of exactly 387 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 2: what is taking place, and he can give us a 388 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 2: good better idea of not just what this launch is about, 389 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 2: but what this launch is ushering in allegedly kind of 390 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:51,360 Speaker 2: a new phase in our space program as well, So 391 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 2: we'll definitely pay attention to that with Kessler. He's got 392 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 2: a lot of good things on his list as well 393 00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 2: for us to indeed get to a couple of people 394 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 2: are saying, look on Tiger, you know, and I think 395 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 2: I made this point that he's saying the right he 396 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 2: has said the right stuff before, and I did say 397 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 2: that it's all that's all he can do right now, 398 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 2: So I have no problem with the statement. I thought 399 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 2: the statement was you know, serious, and said what needed 400 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 2: to be said. But ultimately, as anybody knows, whether the 401 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 2: person is famous or not so famous, the words are cheap. 402 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 2: The words might be a start, but the words pale 403 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 2: in comparison to the activity, the action, what you're able 404 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 2: to do over a period of time following through on 405 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 2: what you say is your intent. Intent is wonderful at 406 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 2: a time like this, but ultimately Tiger, like anybody else, 407 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,880 Speaker 2: whether they're as famous as him or less famous, more 408 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 2: likely will be on the consistency of approach and whether 409 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 2: he is able to keep himself in a position where 410 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 2: there is not a repeat of what we've had, in 411 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 2: his case repeated way way too many times. Four Bratscheawn 412 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 2: Brian Cafe in text line is open at six four 413 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 2: six eight six. If you have anything to do with 414 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 2: Kessey or fur Kessie, please do not hesitate to email 415 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 2: the uh I should say in this case text the 416 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 2: Bratshawn Bryant cafe and text line, and we'll cover, as 417 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:23,360 Speaker 2: I said, a lot of ground. Some of it might 418 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 2: even be controversial. There's one subject not on this list 419 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 2: that I do want to get to that I wouldn't 420 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 2: call it controversial, but I think it's worth pursuing and discussing. 421 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 2: I think it raises a lot of really fascinating and 422 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 2: important questions, even if it's related to a very sobering 423 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 2: series of stories. That's special k Pat Kessler right around 424 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 2: the corner here in the fans. 425 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 5: I wish the American media would take a great look 426 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 5: at the views that the people. 427 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 4: On Conress to find out how they call America. 428 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 2: Or anti America, because people have got to know whether 429 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 2: or not they're presidents are crumb. 430 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 4: I can't trust them. 431 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 5: He has no Shamessler, tear down the bitch wall. 432 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 4: I did pudge at the Minneapolis Airport. 433 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 2: Senator, You're no Jack Kennedy. 434 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 5: Kessler know it all now to help Dan break down 435 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 5: all the tough questions and politics. It's our owner public drunkenness. 436 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 2: I feel like a supermodel, except like times ten was 437 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 2: it pri. 438 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 4: Also force Mankussler with Dan Morero on the fan. 439 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 2: All right, looks like we're three minutes in change from 440 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 2: the launch countdown. I've rarely seen Kessler with this much 441 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 2: of a bounce in his step. 442 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 4: I think you're living on right. 443 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 2: You're drunk on nostalgia right now, because you you are 444 00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:01,160 Speaker 2: thinking back, hearkening back too many many decades ago, when 445 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 2: actually almost any rocket launch YEP, to the moon, towards 446 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 2: the moon, whatever, was a big deal in this country. 447 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 4: Not so much more recently, and yet. 448 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 2: Here we are on the brink of a what they 449 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 2: everybody's saying, a new phase when it comes to interstellar 450 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 2: Exploration mission to the Moon. Artemis to launch your thoughts. 451 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 5: Well, honestly, some of my excitement is from the ketamine. 452 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 5: But that's something completely that's a different subject we can explore. Yes, 453 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 5: Hockey will enjoy that sound. 454 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 2: Thank you. 455 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 5: So this is a remarkable achievement. I think this is 456 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 5: one of the few events in which the entire country. 457 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 4: It seems, invested, is unified. 458 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 5: You know, we have all of this stuff going on 459 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 5: all around us every day, of fire hose of bad 460 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 5: news and chaos and violence and the disagreement and disagreement, 461 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 5: and look at this, this is really a The Artemis 462 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 5: program is taking us back to the Moon, and this 463 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 5: is a remarkable journey of this particular space mission. You're right, 464 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 5: they're not going to land on the Moon, but they're 465 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 5: going to do something extremely important. They are going to 466 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 5: slingshot to the Moon. It takes about four days to 467 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,959 Speaker 5: get there. I mean it's two hundred and fifty thousand 468 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 5: miles away. They are going to circle the Moon and 469 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 5: come back. But here's the thing. They are going to 470 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 5: be the first human eyes to set to look at 471 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 5: the dark side of the Moon. 472 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 4: Thank you, Pink Floyd. 473 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,919 Speaker 5: I love it saying as it kicks in when the 474 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 5: lion roars. 475 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 4: Look it up. Kids. 476 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 5: Here's the thing, it's sunlight when they're going to be 477 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 5: there on the dark side of the Moon, so no 478 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 5: one has ever seen it. They're going to help map it. 479 00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 5: They're going to be talking about in planning colonies, possible 480 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 5: mining of moon minerals. Some of the stuff is incredibly 481 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 5: important to the United States. So this is the next 482 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 5: step in landing on the Moon, setting up a moon 483 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 5: colony similar to the Space Shuttle. I think this is 484 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 5: about as cool as it gets. And there is a 485 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 5: direct line back to nineteen sixty eight. As we're watching 486 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 5: the countdown here, and you can narrate thirty seconds. Yeah, 487 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 5: go right ahead. 488 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, you're you're gonna narrate it when it gets to ten, 489 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 4: probably have to. Yeah, we're getting close right now. 490 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 5: So yeah, this is very much like the Apollo mission 491 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 5: to the Moon Apollo eight in nineteen sixty eight. 492 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 4: I'm going to hold off here while we watch this. 493 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 2: We're down to at ten nine eight seven six five 494 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 2: rockets firing three two. 495 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 4: We have launch ignition. 496 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 5: There is the ignition power lift off, unbelievable. 497 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,439 Speaker 4: Have we cleared the top? That's what I want to see. 498 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,159 Speaker 4: We always want to know that. This is so cool. 499 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 2: This is shot from like down below. Let's see that's powerful, beautiful, 500 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 2: Yeah is It's a beautiful blue sky. Couple clouds, but 501 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,920 Speaker 2: not enough to make a difference, a slight breeze. 502 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 4: Look at that, mother. That thing's going. 503 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 5: Ascending by the United States flag into. 504 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 4: Space, into space. And this is a ten day mission. 505 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:26,919 Speaker 4: Did you say this is a ten day mission? 506 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 5: There are four astronauts in a space capsule, the Orion 507 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 5: capsule that is about the size of two minivans. 508 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 2: So that's a hell of a lot bigger than the 509 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 2: capsules we grew up with. Yes, exactly it, and this is. 510 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,160 Speaker 4: Where they will conduct experiments. 511 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 5: The most important thing they are going to do here 512 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 5: listening to a New York Times reporter, their space reporter 513 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 5: describing this, look at how beautiful that is as they enter. 514 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 2: What was that shower that? Yeah, that was an interesting shot. 515 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:02,199 Speaker 4: Yeah. 516 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 2: By the way, Randy Kate didn't hit you a ride 517 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 2: on that. She was filing reports, so she get on 518 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 2: there at the last minute. She's got to Yeah, think 519 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 2: about this. That'd be a good gig if you could 520 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 2: get it for any reporter. 521 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 5: The New York Times reporter as I'm listening to him today, 522 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 5: is saying the most important thing for them to do. 523 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 4: Is stay alive. 524 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 5: Yes, they are testing new space suits really for the 525 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:32,679 Speaker 5: Artemis mission on the Moon. They're testing these to see 526 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 5: all the bodies. It's hooked up to all the bodily functions. 527 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 5: You're breathing your heart that it's so beautiful. That is 528 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 5: many many miles in space right now. 529 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 3: My hands are sweating just looking at these, like long 530 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 3: distance shots. 531 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 2: What's hard is these are different shots that we've had before, 532 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 2: so it's hard to even know how to evaluate them 533 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 2: right or what to say exactly how this thing is going. 534 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 2: And they call this the not the largest space the 535 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 2: largest engine, but the rocket rocket most. 536 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 5: Rocket's bigger than any of those rockets on the Apollo. Yes, 537 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 5: there's the separation right there, the separation of high rockets. 538 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 4: Now, okay, that's good. That's a good sign. And they 539 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 4: are so. 540 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 5: Far, so good with the Earth and looks like they 541 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 5: are gently coming back to Earth or not crashing into Earth. 542 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 5: So yeah, that's a really good thing. So in any event, 543 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 5: these they are testing the life support systems these astronauts 544 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 5: of these space suits, these bright orange space suits that 545 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 5: we saw. 546 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 4: What are so special about them? 547 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 5: They are modern space suits, unlike the ones with Apollo, 548 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 5: unlike the ones that you're in outer space space waters 549 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 5: off the space SHUFS Shuttle. These have one hundred and 550 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 5: forty four hours of life support. And so we'll see 551 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 5: and they want to see if they can test under 552 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 5: all these different conditions. But this is the same kind 553 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 5: of mission that we prepared for the Moon landing back 554 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 5: in nineteen sixty eight when our country was so divided, 555 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 5: when Martin Luther King was murdered and then Bobby Kennedy 556 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 5: Kenyon same summer. Yeah, when we had the Chicago Convention, 557 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 5: violence there all the war world's watching, terrible, terrible war 558 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 5: going on. We were losing. Think about it. We're upset 559 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 5: about and we should be. All the people dying right 560 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 5: now in Iran. There were four to six hundred people 561 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 5: dying every single week in Vietnam. So what I'm saying 562 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 5: is we were extremely divided back then. The astronauts circled 563 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 5: the moon and that very famous picture, that iconic shot 564 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 5: that we've all seen of the Earth from the moon rising, 565 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 5: the Earth rising. 566 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 2: How fast are we going right now? Can you there's 567 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 2: a bunch of numbers on the screen. Can you tell 568 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 2: what's our velocity right now? I can't tell, but it's 569 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 2: got to be got forty thousand miles an hour? 570 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 4: So thousand? 571 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 2: Is it fair to say, even with all of the 572 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 2: iterations of the program and all the changes and all 573 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 2: the adjustments, and presumably all of the improvements technologically, that 574 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 2: the four astronauts in that win a Bao sized capsule 575 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 2: have to have the same quote unquote right stuff that 576 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 2: the original Mercury astronauts did as well. It's all no 577 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 2: matter how much the technology changes, the individuals involved still 578 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 2: have to have what they call in the business the 579 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 2: right stuff. 580 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 5: And the reason they call it the right stuff is 581 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 5: that back in the day this was not all controlled 582 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 5: on Earth. This was controlled, particularly if something went wrong 583 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 5: in the space capsule. 584 00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 4: And these are test. 585 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 5: Pilots who had to use duct tape and bubblegum to 586 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 5: fix anything that went wrong. So this is but still, 587 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 5: this is pretty amazing. Yeah, it is said, and I 588 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 5: believe it to be true because I read it on 589 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 5: the internet. 590 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 4: It is said that our. 591 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 5: Our phones, our Apple phones, our iPhones contained the same 592 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 5: computing power and more than the rocket chips and the 593 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 5: space capsules of the Apollo. 594 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 4: So yeah, this was a pretty cool thing. 595 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 5: They went around the Moon on Christmas Eve and the 596 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 5: astronauts broadcast a message back to Earth. 597 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 4: They read from the Book of Genesis, remember that. 598 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, And people were so taken by that and so 599 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 5: moved by that because we're looking at the Earth from 600 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 5: the moon and reading from Genesis and God created Earth 601 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 5: and saw that it was good. So it was pretty cool, 602 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 5: really cool, and that unified us, as I hope something 603 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 5: like this unifies us. 604 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 4: Now. 605 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 3: I just got a picture from a college from that 606 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 3: lives in Tampa and you could see the chemtrail. 607 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 2: Clear as day. 608 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, from Tampa. 609 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 2: From Tampa, you could see it. 610 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 4: In Oh, oh my god. That's impressive. Yeah, that's pretty cool. 611 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 4: The famous line. 612 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 2: One small step for man, one giant giant leap for mankind. 613 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 4: That was when we landed on the moon, right, that is. 614 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 2: I think we've talked about this before, Neil Armstrong. Wasn't 615 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 2: the line blown? I think the line was supposed to 616 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 2: be one small step for a man, one giant leap 617 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 2: for mankind. 618 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 4: Now some people say he actually says, ah, It just 619 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 4: depends on the audio controversy. 620 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 5: Yes, yes, there was perhaps a glitch in the transmission 621 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 5: of the broadcast from Stepping onto the Moon. But think 622 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 5: about this nineteen sixty eight. I mean, we don't know 623 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 5: what's going on, you know. No, this is a tim 624 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 5: can on a big rocket that's going to the moon. 625 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,840 Speaker 2: Let's go back further. I mean I can remember the 626 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 2: Mercury you know, Siri, the Mercury program, which predated the Apollo, 627 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 2: when we were just trying to get out out of 628 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 2: the atmosphere, right, trying to keep it catch up with 629 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 2: the Russians a little bit. What I do remember was 630 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 2: the degree to which everybody did pay attention to it. 631 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 2: And I can even remember a time where a neighbor 632 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:30,879 Speaker 2: was supposed to. 633 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:35,360 Speaker 4: Drive his kid and me to grade school. 634 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 2: I want to say Webster Elementary, Daniel, Webster Elementary, Gary 635 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 2: and Deanna, and she's saying, kids, we. 636 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 4: Might be late. 637 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 2: I gotta I want to see the rocket leave the ground. 638 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 2: It was that old deal of we got it, we're 639 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 2: all in this, and and I got to be sure 640 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:53,839 Speaker 2: that the damn thing gets going. And once I see 641 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 2: it gets going, then we could leave. We were all 642 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,319 Speaker 2: invested in it in a way. And then for many years, 643 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 2: as you know, we kind of because it went so well, 644 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 2: we tended to lose interest. It wasn't that big a 645 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,839 Speaker 2: deal until we had a couple of tragedies, unfortunately, and 646 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 2: that's what got people paying more attention to it. 647 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 1: Well. 648 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 5: I do remember as a kid when the teachers would 649 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 5: actually stop classroom learning, roll in a television so you 650 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 5: could watch the launch. What was that that is at? 651 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 2: Okay, that was pretty good if that was the real thing, 652 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 2: But it's not. 653 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, So we we didn't know back in those days 654 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 5: whether the human in the capsule would survive. We didn't 655 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 5: know if the gravity would kill them and crush them. 656 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 5: We did not know if our feeble human uh oxygen 657 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,840 Speaker 5: tanks would keep them alive or if they would fail. 658 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 5: So when these astronauts went into space, particularly John Glenn 659 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:03,319 Speaker 5: who who orbited the Earth and returned alive, was the 660 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,879 Speaker 5: big headline on that. So it's a it's a much 661 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 5: different thing now. 662 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 4: You're right. 663 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:12,360 Speaker 5: Americans kind of lost interest after the moon landing, and 664 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 5: we were there a couple of times, and NASA was 665 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 5: defunded over the years. 666 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 4: Why are we spending money for this? 667 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 2: Yeah? 668 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, and to our credit and to the administration's credit 669 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:28,719 Speaker 5: now and before this, we have kept NASA alive for 670 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:29,919 Speaker 5: things like this. 671 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 2: Two five two guy, where's two five two area code? 672 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,359 Speaker 2: We checked that out, blakemore, there's two five to two guy, 673 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 2: writes Dan. I'm standing in my backyard and can see 674 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 2: the spaceship going over. 675 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,040 Speaker 4: That's so cool.

That would be so that's fantastic. 682 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you. 683 00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 2: This is from Dan Winnesota, Springsteen Artemis launch was clean 684 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 2: Cassie on ketamine Wolves in five, so they had to 685 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,200 Speaker 2: do some some changing to pronunciation. But I thought that 686 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,960 Speaker 2: was too bad, very well played. So is it fair 687 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,280 Speaker 2: to say so far all indications are good. 688 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:17,799 Speaker 4: It's good. 689 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 2: We have no signs of any difficulties ago at this point. 690 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:25,640 Speaker 2: Right now, now somebody's taking exception with your math. 691 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,319 Speaker 4: Let me see if I can find well, you know, good, 692 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 4: I'm fine, I'm accept whatever it is. 693 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,120 Speaker 2: Kessler just said they're probably going twenty thousand miles per hour. 694 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:34,880 Speaker 2: The moon is two hundred forty thousand miles away, so 695 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:36,160 Speaker 2: they'll be there in twelve hours. 696 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,840 Speaker 4: He said, four days pst. 697 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,880 Speaker 2: Nominee that according to Brad from Minneapolis, he's nominating you 698 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 2: for me. 699 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 5: Let me let me think about this. Once they escaped 700 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 5: the Earth's atmosphere, right, how fast did they go? 701 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:48,759 Speaker 4: I have no question? Yeah, that's true. 702 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 5: I thought you were asking me what is the speed 703 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,239 Speaker 5: of them at that rocketing out of. 704 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 4: That was my question. Yeah, And I don't know. I 705 00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:57,799 Speaker 4: don't know what it is. 706 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,799 Speaker 5: I was trying to read some of the scribbling on 707 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,720 Speaker 5: these computer graphics here, but who knows. 708 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, that could very well be. 709 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 2: So the president is that I mean he's speaking to 710 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:10,880 Speaker 2: the nation tonight. Is it eight o'clock Central or nine 711 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,359 Speaker 2: o'clock Central, that'll be eight o'clock eighth Central about the 712 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 2: war in Iran. 713 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,640 Speaker 4: I'm assuming this might come up a little bit. Maybe not, 714 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:18,239 Speaker 4: I don't know. 715 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 2: So we're getting more more indication that he's saying two 716 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,319 Speaker 2: to three weeks we're going to be done. And you 717 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 2: want the straight of horror moves open Europe, open it up? 718 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,719 Speaker 4: Is that our problem? So what do we think? 719 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 2: What's the early line on what the President's tack is 720 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:34,799 Speaker 2: going to be tonight? 721 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 5: It's all very unsettling. The President will address the nation 722 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:43,279 Speaker 5: tonight on Iran. So the big question is will he 723 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:49,400 Speaker 5: just declare victory and leave or will he deploy troops 724 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,919 Speaker 5: on the ground for whatever reason? And in my view, 725 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,719 Speaker 5: either one of these is probably not that good. Either 726 00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:01,280 Speaker 5: one of these is bad. We've gone into a country, 727 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 5: a war of our own choice, without consulting our allies 728 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:13,400 Speaker 5: or the American people, and many, many, hundreds and thousands 729 00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:18,240 Speaker 5: of people are dead in Iran, and including many people 730 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:23,960 Speaker 5: about twelve service members here. So this is not a 731 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 5: good This is not a good outcome if the president 732 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,600 Speaker 5: who has been going back, I have to take my 733 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,720 Speaker 5: eyes off that so I can actually talk about Iran. 734 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:32,440 Speaker 5: I'm watching this. 735 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very very distressing how they're bringing out the 736 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,880 Speaker 2: models that their little rocket models are bringing out to Hi. 737 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:40,239 Speaker 4: Wouldn't you love to have one of those? 738 00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,759 Speaker 2: I guess I don't know. I mean, I think that 739 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,920 Speaker 2: that looks kind of too retro for me. 740 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:45,959 Speaker 4: I'm thinking, but well. 741 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 5: Here's the thing that the president is going to speak tonight, 742 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,840 Speaker 5: and I'm very anxious to see what he actually says. 743 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:57,280 Speaker 5: He has had many, many, many different reasons for going 744 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:01,799 Speaker 5: to war. He has been angry with the Allies for 745 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:05,719 Speaker 5: not helping him once the war started. He is now 746 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 5: saying that I don't need a deal with Iran. After 747 00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,399 Speaker 5: four weeks of saying they're begging for a deal, we'll 748 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,920 Speaker 5: make a deal, we're dealing with good people, now he 749 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:18,000 Speaker 5: says I don't need a deal. He has been very 750 00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:21,880 Speaker 5: angry because the Allies are not helping him keep open 751 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,600 Speaker 5: the strait of horror moves. 752 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,279 Speaker 4: Now he says, I'll just walk away. I don't care. 753 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,839 Speaker 4: It's your problem. Now go get your oil yourself, and 754 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 4: I might leave NATO. 755 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 5: And now that's a big thing. Tonight we are hearing 756 00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,600 Speaker 5: that he is going to criticize NATO heavily and pull 757 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 5: the United States out of it. That's the big question. 758 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:45,360 Speaker 5: So I think all of this is unsettling to me 759 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:49,520 Speaker 5: and to America. I think I think that possibly this 760 00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:53,960 Speaker 5: is unsafe. I feel like there is an unstable nature 761 00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:58,239 Speaker 5: to everything about this war. It's been a erratic I 762 00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:04,080 Speaker 5: think the president's messages have been untethered, even though I 763 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,120 Speaker 5: think this can also be true. Good we got rid. 764 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,840 Speaker 2: Of the game, right, you can applaud that, but we 765 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 2: haven't changed thee even though we say, well, the problem 766 00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:17,160 Speaker 2: is among those who believe it might actually be even 767 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:23,319 Speaker 2: more entrenched in that same approach, even more hardline than 768 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 2: what came before. Because for a while, what do we 769 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,800 Speaker 2: keep hearing there's going to be a code, a moment 770 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,759 Speaker 2: where it's going to be all right, okay, citizenry of Iran, 771 00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:33,600 Speaker 2: it's okay for you to come out. Well, that obviously 772 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,120 Speaker 2: is false. That there's not going to be any such 773 00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,719 Speaker 2: day takenment take your government back. So that's the concern 774 00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,359 Speaker 2: is at the end, there's no plotting on my part 775 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,279 Speaker 2: for this regime in any way, shape or form, you're 776 00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,040 Speaker 2: back to massacre. Are you in a better place now 777 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,560 Speaker 2: than you were before? Maybe in terms of nuclear you are, 778 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 2: But beyond that, they don't know how far we've gone, 779 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:55,240 Speaker 2: and we don't even know that anything. 780 00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,960 Speaker 5: So that there is no regime change. The leaders in 781 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,840 Speaker 5: fact have changed, but they might be more hard to 782 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:05,840 Speaker 5: radical previous ones. The nuclear the nuclear issue, the President 783 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,839 Speaker 5: said that we're going to get all the nuclear material out, 784 00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:10,600 Speaker 5: and I think they're going to walk away from it. 785 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,600 Speaker 5: Was there an imminent threat? I think there's growing evidence 786 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,000 Speaker 5: that there was no women in threat. 787 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:17,520 Speaker 4: So what have we accomplished? 788 00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:22,440 Speaker 5: Or as the rolling stones set at Altamont, why are 789 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:23,080 Speaker 5: we fighting? 790 00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 4: And what for? 791 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,440 Speaker 2: Let's get to some what a time we have, waste 792 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:30,719 Speaker 2: some time to do it. Let's get to some local 793 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,759 Speaker 2: stuff that was on your list as well. I don't 794 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:37,239 Speaker 2: know exactly what to make of this. So the outgoing 795 00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:42,080 Speaker 2: former mayor of Saint Paul, Melvin Carter, there's discussion now 796 00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 2: about a decision he made to pay out a bunch 797 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:50,880 Speaker 2: of big bonuses right before he left office. What's this 798 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,719 Speaker 2: all about? And who's mad about it? 799 00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 4: Everybody? Well, somebody, I. 800 00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:58,680 Speaker 5: Think everybody should be concerned about this for sure, maybe 801 00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:01,360 Speaker 5: they deserve the bonuses. Well, you know, you know I 802 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,279 Speaker 5: shouldn't argue that they don't. I mean, this is a hey, 803 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,799 Speaker 5: you did such a great job, here's some money for you. 804 00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:14,719 Speaker 5: What has happened is that the former mayor has right 805 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:18,160 Speaker 5: before he left office, literally days before he left office, 806 00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:23,680 Speaker 5: he awarded his. 807 00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:23,040 Speaker 4: His staff. 808 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:28,239 Speaker 5: Thanks for all the good work you did, bonuses, and 809 00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:32,680 Speaker 5: some of them are thousands and thousands of dollars. Their 810 00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:37,799 Speaker 5: walkaway pay includes unused sick time, vacation time, and paid 811 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:43,600 Speaker 5: leaf time. Here's the catch with the vacation time. The 812 00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:49,359 Speaker 5: Mayor Carter's administration ended on January second, right, but he 813 00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,520 Speaker 5: gave them all. They're all entitled to a year's full 814 00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:53,880 Speaker 5: of vacation time. 815 00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:57,160 Speaker 4: For twenty twenty six. That is career. How is that possible? 816 00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:00,880 Speaker 5: That's the rule. They were in office on January sixth. 817 00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,839 Speaker 5: You get your full vacation on January first, So, you know, 818 00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:09,160 Speaker 5: all of this just doesn't pass the smell test. Additionally, 819 00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:13,160 Speaker 5: he's using money out of the new mayor's budget for 820 00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 5: this year, So what is she supposed to do? May 821 00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:19,520 Speaker 5: Or her has got this, So I think this is unusual. 822 00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:24,879 Speaker 5: I think that you could have valid criticism that that 823 00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:29,520 Speaker 5: this this should absolutely not happen. This happened without transparency. 824 00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,160 Speaker 5: You might even say in the dark of night that 825 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:35,000 Speaker 5: all of these bonuses are offered and given and these 826 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,279 Speaker 5: are the highest paid people in the administration. 827 00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:41,040 Speaker 2: So so so far, since these stories have surfaced, I 828 00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:43,640 Speaker 2: assume people are trying to reach, you know, to talk 829 00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 2: to the former mayor and say, okay, what's your response. 830 00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:48,839 Speaker 4: To all this? He has he given any an? Yeah. 831 00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,640 Speaker 5: The Star Tribune has reported was the one who broke 832 00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,520 Speaker 5: the story. And the Star Tribune reports that this is 833 00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,719 Speaker 5: not abnormal. This is a normal thing that they do. 834 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,520 Speaker 5: They my staff work very hard and this is a 835 00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:03,840 Speaker 5: way of rewarding them. This has been a very tough 836 00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:08,000 Speaker 5: couple of administrations. And you know, everybody's got that, including 837 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,840 Speaker 5: everybody in Minnesota, where we went from from COVID to 838 00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:16,279 Speaker 5: George Floyd, to murders to carjackings, to all sorts of 839 00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 5: things that happened. So we've all been through this. But 840 00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:22,680 Speaker 5: I don't know, I didn't get a bonus. I don't 841 00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,720 Speaker 5: know how it is here at iHeart, but I lost 842 00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,560 Speaker 5: my sick time every year at the end of the year, 843 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:32,120 Speaker 5: and I lost my vacation time, cannot accrue it, and 844 00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,840 Speaker 5: so it doesn't roll over into the next year. So 845 00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:38,279 Speaker 5: I'm not going to say I was resentful of people 846 00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:42,560 Speaker 5: who could do that, but it it was a housekeeping 847 00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:46,719 Speaker 5: nightmare because everybody, everybody would take their vacations in December. 848 00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,759 Speaker 2: You know, Well, I'm confused all paid twenty twenty six 849 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:51,560 Speaker 2: vacation days even though they left office jan two. 850 00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:57,359 Speaker 4: You're saying as if they're they're in that they're getting 851 00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,160 Speaker 4: vacation days that were. 852 00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,200 Speaker 2: From me for an entire year that they're not working. 853 00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:03,399 Speaker 2: That is correct, Yeah, it doesn't seem. 854 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,719 Speaker 5: That seems because in many in many companies, I think, 855 00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:09,319 Speaker 5: including mine, you know, we had to accrue them previously, 856 00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,000 Speaker 5: and that's probably the reason. 857 00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:11,440 Speaker 2: Why they do it. 858 00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,439 Speaker 5: I know, insurance, I had to wait ninety days before 859 00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,000 Speaker 5: I got insurance before I was vested in that because 860 00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,000 Speaker 5: you know, you have to just you have to add 861 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 5: up the days and. 862 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:21,719 Speaker 2: Accrue the time. 863 00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:26,160 Speaker 5: So this is Yeah, so that is exactly what the 864 00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:29,800 Speaker 5: Start Tribune is reporting, and and I thought it was 865 00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:35,200 Speaker 5: a pretty good story that they figured this out. 866 00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll be curious to see what kind of you know, 867 00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:39,600 Speaker 4: you can't do it? What are you gonna do? Yeah? 868 00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:41,680 Speaker 2: The sad thing is I'm looking at the number you have. 869 00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:44,160 Speaker 2: Total is more than turn and fifty thousand dollars here, 870 00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,840 Speaker 2: that's that almost seems you know. Again, it's sad because 871 00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,040 Speaker 2: that's not a small amount of money, but it feels like, 872 00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,960 Speaker 2: you know, kind of tip money compared to any of 873 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,440 Speaker 2: our you know, feeding our future and autisms. A project 874 00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:56,360 Speaker 2: or turn of fifty thousand, that's that's nothing. 875 00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:00,359 Speaker 5: Well, this the mayor's office hasn't has a bunch of money. Well, 876 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:03,399 Speaker 5: how do I say this? I'm not going to say 877 00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,799 Speaker 5: this is corruption, right, I'm just going to say this 878 00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:07,160 Speaker 5: is it's worth question wondering. 879 00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:10,120 Speaker 4: Let's let's ask us pass the smell test. Yeah, I 880 00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:10,600 Speaker 4: think that's over. 881 00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:14,520 Speaker 5: It's two hundred and seventy seven thousand dollars and uh, 882 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:19,000 Speaker 5: there's ninety six thousand dollars of that went out in 883 00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:25,560 Speaker 5: performances bonuses for just a handful of his top aids. 884 00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,719 Speaker 5: So think about that one hundred thousand dollars in bonuses. Man, 885 00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:30,720 Speaker 5: I'd love to have had that. Of course I didn't 886 00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:31,680 Speaker 5: deserve them, But were. 887 00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:33,120 Speaker 2: They all that I mean, do they all deserve them? 888 00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:34,920 Speaker 2: That'd be one of my other questions. Well, if he 889 00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:36,719 Speaker 2: says you do you do, that's the mayor. 890 00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:39,239 Speaker 5: That's you know, you helped me a lot, and here's 891 00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:41,400 Speaker 5: a here's a side of my appreciation. 892 00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:44,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, let's do not like, let's get a pause, meo. 893 00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:47,040 Speaker 2: Like, We've got another local story to get to and 894 00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,400 Speaker 2: a couple of others and some text to respond to 895 00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:52,520 Speaker 2: as well.

Once it gets into. 912 00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:47,000 Speaker 5: Into zero gravity out there, this is that's pretty fast, amazing. 913 00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,279 Speaker 4: What kind of turbulence on the way up? Is the 914 00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:51,759 Speaker 4: turbulence bad? Yeah? Terrible? I mean the G force. 915 00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:53,640 Speaker 2: That's why they got to test everybody to make sure 916 00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,080 Speaker 2: they can handle any of that nonsense. 917 00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:59,400 Speaker 5: G force is like a tesla, the nice tesla at 918 00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:00,480 Speaker 5: zero to sixty. 919 00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:05,600 Speaker 2: Really, I wrote, I got a buddy. 920 00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:07,600 Speaker 4: I couldn't man, I couldn't believe it. 921 00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:09,600 Speaker 5: You know, you get on an old country road and 922 00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:13,160 Speaker 5: you just hit the accelerator and zero to eighty boom. 923 00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:15,880 Speaker 5: So the G force of this, you know your face 924 00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,520 Speaker 5: it's worth coming back in, including the extreme heat. 925 00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:22,560 Speaker 4: But yeah, let me ask you a question. This was 926 00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:24,680 Speaker 4: not on your list. I mentioned it in the show. 927 00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:27,560 Speaker 2: No, but it's one I think you'll appreciate and might 928 00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,960 Speaker 2: evensk some thoughts on. I want to talk about the 929 00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:37,319 Speaker 2: issue of classified as erasure, and in this case I 930 00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:39,959 Speaker 2: have not talked in much detail about it on the show. 931 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,279 Speaker 2: The New York Times was either a week or two ago, 932 00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:50,880 Speaker 2: had a frightening story, great reporting in it, on allegations 933 00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:56,160 Speaker 2: that it had confirmed in a number of cases involving 934 00:49:56,920 --> 00:50:03,160 Speaker 2: the labor giant Caesar Shavez and the allegations they ended 935 00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:06,640 Speaker 2: up quoting at least two, maybe more of victims. And 936 00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:10,640 Speaker 2: the issue in this case these were girls as well, 937 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:15,560 Speaker 2: not necessarily always women from an age standpoint, who got 938 00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:19,880 Speaker 2: caught up in his vortex were afraid to say anything 939 00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:24,520 Speaker 2: about the things that they claim he was doing to them. 940 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:26,240 Speaker 4: For all the obvious reasons. 941 00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:31,360 Speaker 2: Caesar Chavez was a giant, you know, walking literally with RFK, 942 00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:36,440 Speaker 2: with so many others and galvanizing an entire labor movement 943 00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:41,600 Speaker 2: in California. Right, So the allegations are serious in depth. 944 00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:46,319 Speaker 2: The reporting is very, very significant. The question on the 945 00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:50,600 Speaker 2: table for me is the erasure question. Like within in 946 00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:57,520 Speaker 2: some locations, within minutes of this story, dropping were whitewashing 947 00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:01,680 Speaker 2: stairs that have his name a leading up to whatever 948 00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:05,600 Speaker 2: monument or salute whatever ways that we were saluting this individual. 949 00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:10,960 Speaker 2: And what I'm asking you is how fast are we 950 00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:16,920 Speaker 2: obligated to go? What is it? Is this enough to 951 00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:20,560 Speaker 2: say we have to eliminate him from our memory? Because 952 00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,840 Speaker 2: what strikes me is I feel like we move so 953 00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:30,879 Speaker 2: fast that it's like we're embarrassed that we ever saluted him. 954 00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:33,120 Speaker 2: And my comeback to that would be, well, we saluted 955 00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:36,240 Speaker 2: him on the basis of what we thought we knew 956 00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:41,359 Speaker 2: about his historic place in the movement. It wasn't like, ah, 957 00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:43,400 Speaker 2: you know what, there's all kinds of bad things about him, 958 00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:44,440 Speaker 2: We're still going to salute him. 959 00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:47,640 Speaker 4: It's not like, so, why is it good? Maybe you 960 00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:49,719 Speaker 4: think it's good. I don't even know what the answer is. 961 00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:53,560 Speaker 2: I grapple with this that within minutes of not any 962 00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,719 Speaker 2: court cases, because that's probably impractical at this point anyway, but. 963 00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:57,560 Speaker 4: A story appearing. 964 00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:00,759 Speaker 2: We're doing everything we can to pretend that this individual 965 00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:01,600 Speaker 2: didn't exist. 966 00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:04,000 Speaker 4: Is that the right approach? Is it healthy? 967 00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:09,520 Speaker 2: Is it working at mock speed? A little bit too fast? 968 00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:11,360 Speaker 2: I don't know what the answer is, but I'm asking. 969 00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:13,520 Speaker 4: It's a really good question. 970 00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:17,680 Speaker 5: Because this investigation by the New York Times and another 971 00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:22,359 Speaker 5: reason why we need independent news organizations. This investigation took 972 00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:26,920 Speaker 5: ten years. They never let go of the thread. They 973 00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:30,399 Speaker 5: kept pulling on the thread trying to find out allegations 974 00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:33,440 Speaker 5: that they first got ten years ago, and the allegations 975 00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:39,719 Speaker 5: are extremely serious. The allegations of Caesar Chavez is that 976 00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:45,160 Speaker 5: he not only raped people around him forcibly assaulted them, 977 00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:50,560 Speaker 5: but many of them were young girls thirteen fourteen years 978 00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:54,280 Speaker 5: old and kept them in his orbit much the same 979 00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:59,560 Speaker 5: way as Jeffrey Epstein did. So I understand what you're 980 00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:03,880 Speaker 5: saying that the people who are bringing the allegations now, 981 00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:08,839 Speaker 5: who are coming public, have evidence. And if you haven't 982 00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:11,879 Speaker 5: read it, people, it's worth a read the New York 983 00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:16,759 Speaker 5: Times investigation into Caesar Shavis. It's pretty buttoned up, but 984 00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:21,439 Speaker 5: you're right. There is no court case that says, yes, 985 00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:25,279 Speaker 5: he was guilty and therefore he should be sentenced. 986 00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:26,440 Speaker 4: And this is what he's doing. 987 00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:31,600 Speaker 5: But this is so far beyond, so far beyond his 988 00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:36,799 Speaker 5: image that people are moving very quickly. I understand how 989 00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:41,280 Speaker 5: uncomfortable that might make someone, but we in this state 990 00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:43,160 Speaker 5: are doing the same thing. 991 00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:46,960 Speaker 4: Bring that up here. We have Caesar Savage. We have 992 00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:48,880 Speaker 4: a day. We have a day, and now it is 993 00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:50,160 Speaker 4: not the day it is now. 994 00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:53,759 Speaker 5: I believe that Governor Walls change it to farm workers Day, 995 00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,239 Speaker 5: the people he represented in the unions. He was a 996 00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:01,120 Speaker 5: great union leader organizing this. We have Cinco de Mayo 997 00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:04,359 Speaker 5: where Caesar Shav is, the area down on the west 998 00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:05,680 Speaker 5: side of Saint Paul. 999 00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:07,440 Speaker 4: All of this is happening. 1000 00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:14,520 Speaker 5: They're moving so quickly because the evidence appears to be incontrovertible. 1001 00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:17,160 Speaker 4: So why aren't we owning this awful? 1002 00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:22,040 Speaker 5: It's terrible, it's absolutely terrible, and the people who are 1003 00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:26,200 Speaker 5: making the allegations are still alive. So how does this 1004 00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:27,680 Speaker 5: differ from Jeffrey Epstein. 1005 00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:29,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know how you do it. 1006 00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:36,680 Speaker 2: I don't know if it matters whether it's the slave owning, 1007 00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:38,000 Speaker 2: founding fathers. 1008 00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:41,800 Speaker 5: I mean, so these are issues that we've never really 1009 00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,400 Speaker 5: had to think about and grapple with in this country. 1010 00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:48,200 Speaker 5: I'd say it's better to air on the side that 1011 00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:49,880 Speaker 5: we're going with Caesar Shavis than not. 1012 00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:51,960 Speaker 4: But here's great, you're more moving quick. 1013 00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:56,800 Speaker 2: Part of what I'm saying is, in my view, whether 1014 00:54:57,080 --> 00:55:00,840 Speaker 2: you erase the monument today or or in three weeks, 1015 00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:03,680 Speaker 2: if there are actually people who say it's been three 1016 00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:06,799 Speaker 2: weeks and you haven't a race that, I'm saying, what 1017 00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:10,920 Speaker 2: does that necessary? What's that difference accomplish? We're just getting 1018 00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:16,320 Speaker 2: this information. None of it is good. It's all absolutely terrible. 1019 00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:19,600 Speaker 2: But I'll say again, the saluting that was done with 1020 00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:24,240 Speaker 2: him had nothing to do with this, because there wasn't 1021 00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:27,279 Speaker 2: knowledge of what he was doing. Now part of the 1022 00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:30,520 Speaker 2: story indicates there may have been more knowledge at the 1023 00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:33,520 Speaker 2: time of what he was doing, But that gets back 1024 00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:36,640 Speaker 2: into cover up. That gets back into well, the cause 1025 00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:41,319 Speaker 2: is too important, we cannot expose him to whatever. That's 1026 00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:43,520 Speaker 2: another whole series of stories that I'd like to see 1027 00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:45,560 Speaker 2: written at some point, if they haven't already. 1028 00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:47,360 Speaker 4: But I just I don't know. 1029 00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:51,640 Speaker 2: If the notion is if you wait three weeks, you're 1030 00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:56,399 Speaker 2: enabling this monster. And I'm saying that happened a long 1031 00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:59,400 Speaker 2: time ago, that's a distinction that I don't think is 1032 00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:01,040 Speaker 2: anything more than performative to me. 1033 00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:05,400 Speaker 5: And so I would ask, then, rhetorically, what is the 1034 00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:06,600 Speaker 5: proper time? 1035 00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:09,160 Speaker 4: Is it now? Is it three weeks from now? Is 1036 00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:10,239 Speaker 4: it six months from now? 1037 00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:19,319 Speaker 5: We have completely different moral values, stances today and responses 1038 00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:21,640 Speaker 5: to them than we did in the nineteen sixties, in 1039 00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:25,520 Speaker 5: the nineteen seventies, and things are just much much different. 1040 00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:29,120 Speaker 5: So immediately you distance yourself until you know more. 1041 00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:31,879 Speaker 2: But I get but I think we know more. 1042 00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:34,719 Speaker 5: I can't get my hands around what you're asking, and 1043 00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:38,839 Speaker 5: that is is it fair to do this without any 1044 00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:41,120 Speaker 5: adjudication of this of any kind? 1045 00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:42,720 Speaker 4: And I don't know the answer. 1046 00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:45,440 Speaker 2: And then again, ed education is probably not even possible, 1047 00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:45,920 Speaker 2: it won't be. 1048 00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:51,520 Speaker 5: But I'd rather do this under these circumstances than ignore it. 1049 00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:54,200 Speaker 2: All Right, real quick, tell me about We've got a 1050 00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:58,520 Speaker 2: DWI related story involving a state rep correct. 1051 00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:00,359 Speaker 5: Well, I certainly don't have enough time to talk about that. 1052 00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:06,040 Speaker 5: Holy Hannah. That is that's that's a pretty that's a 1053 00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:07,000 Speaker 5: pretty interesting one. 1054 00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:10,880 Speaker 4: We have a state representative, Elliott. 1055 00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:15,759 Speaker 5: Engen, who is running for state auditor, and he was 1056 00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:20,560 Speaker 5: He's a Republican who is running for state auditor, and 1057 00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:24,560 Speaker 5: he was arrested in White Bear Lake, I believe, at 1058 00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:28,680 Speaker 5: two o'clock in the morning, pulled over blew a one 1059 00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:35,280 Speaker 5: point one four to two, had a busted headlight, expired plates, 1060 00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:36,680 Speaker 5: and was speeding. 1061 00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:38,600 Speaker 4: So when you drink, don't do that. 1062 00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:42,680 Speaker 5: What makes this a little bit different, what makes this 1063 00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:45,600 Speaker 5: a doozy of a political story, is that he was 1064 00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:50,200 Speaker 5: captured in photos day drinking at a local bar around 1065 00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:54,320 Speaker 5: the capitol, watching the Twins game. You know something that 1066 00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:56,560 Speaker 5: I do a lot day drink and watch the Twins 1067 00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:01,160 Speaker 5: and then went back to the capital, participated in a 1068 00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:02,640 Speaker 5: session and voted and. 1069 00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:04,720 Speaker 4: Then went off and drank some more. 1070 00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:07,600 Speaker 5: What makes it even more interesting is that he was 1071 00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:12,360 Speaker 5: accompanied in the car by Representative Walter Hudson, who had 1072 00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:16,960 Speaker 5: a handgun stuffed in his waistband. So he had a 1073 00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:19,840 Speaker 5: permit to carry, no doubt about it. Had a permit 1074 00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:23,520 Speaker 5: to carry. He was not He did not submit it, 1075 00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:26,080 Speaker 5: nor was he asked to submit to blood alcohol or 1076 00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:31,920 Speaker 5: blow a blow you know, breathalyzer. So it is against 1077 00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:37,120 Speaker 5: the law to be drinking and have above point four. 1078 00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:40,480 Speaker 5: So you know, there's so much here. There was a 1079 00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:43,439 Speaker 5: bottle of liquor in the in the child car seat 1080 00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:45,480 Speaker 5: in the back, and there was a mysterious third person 1081 00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:46,880 Speaker 5: in the car, and we don't know who that was. 1082 00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:49,600 Speaker 2: Was he still do we have any resolution on whether 1083 00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:53,040 Speaker 2: he continued he intends to still to continue to run 1084 00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:53,800 Speaker 2: for audible. 1085 00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:56,240 Speaker 5: Well, you know, he, to his credit, I mean, he 1086 00:58:56,680 --> 00:59:00,960 Speaker 5: apologized and Representative Hudson, I thought, gave a tremendous apology, 1087 00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:04,400 Speaker 5: if that's the right word for it. Gave a heartfelt apology. 1088 00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:06,920 Speaker 5: And I thought, very directly said this is my fault. 1089 00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:08,920 Speaker 5: I messed up. I've always thought about what I would do. 1090 00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:12,120 Speaker 5: You know, sometimes people do dumb things, and this is 1091 00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:17,720 Speaker 5: one of them, and he asked for forgiveness. Engen also 1092 00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:20,240 Speaker 5: gave what I thought was a pretty good apology. The 1093 00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:23,680 Speaker 5: twist here is that when he first ran for state auditor, 1094 00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:29,040 Speaker 5: in his launch video of the campaign, he includes the 1095 00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:34,400 Speaker 5: Democratic candidate running for auditor with his mugshot from a 1096 00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:38,200 Speaker 5: DW I so we got two auditor guys. 1097 00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:41,720 Speaker 4: So I don't know, man, I don't even know what 1098 00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:42,480 Speaker 4: to think anymore. 1099 00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:46,560 Speaker 5: You apologize, get the help you need, for sure, and 1100 00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:49,880 Speaker 5: then carry on. So we got to give people grace, 1101 00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:52,800 Speaker 5: but sometimes it's harder than others. 1102 00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:57,800 Speaker 2: Are you okay with the judge allowing Tiger Woods to 1103 00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:00,800 Speaker 2: get treatment outside of the United State of America? Would 1104 01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:05,640 Speaker 2: someone not as famous as Tiger Woods be afforded that 1105 01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:06,560 Speaker 2: same opportunity. 1106 01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:08,880 Speaker 5: It's a really interesting question. I don't know why he 1107 01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:11,120 Speaker 5: can't go to Hazelden here in Minnesota. 1108 01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:12,880 Speaker 4: I mean, this is just in the world. 1109 01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:15,919 Speaker 2: Well, the comeback, of course is publicity. 1110 01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:19,040 Speaker 4: It needs to get away. But I don't know if 1111 01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:22,680 Speaker 4: you get how does tiger get away? I mean again, yeah, sure, 1112 01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:23,680 Speaker 4: you know why not. 1113 01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:26,880 Speaker 5: I don't depose that if you're going to go to 1114 01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:30,040 Speaker 5: a place and get help, good for you, Good for 1115 01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:33,400 Speaker 5: you to uh to be self aware and figure it 1116 01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:36,440 Speaker 5: out and then come on back and and begin a recovery. 1117 01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:38,000 Speaker 4: Absolutely on that point. 1118 01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:42,280 Speaker 2: We're going to let you go and hopefully chat next 1119 01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:44,120 Speaker 2: week is the plan, and then you're gonna go.

You know, you can make your choice, 1128 01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:09,080 Speaker 5: my choice, and then you can come back in me 1129 01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:13,280 Speaker 5: like that. So Milania Movie was awesome, So that that's 1130 01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:14,480 Speaker 5: where I went instead of Springsteen. 1131 01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:16,200 Speaker 4: All right, Well you've seen him before though, right. 1132 01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:21,560 Speaker 5: I have tremendous fomo that you have a show that 1133 01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:25,960 Speaker 5: I missed this particular, this one in particular, which may 1134 01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:29,520 Speaker 5: have been the greatest Springsteen show of all time.

Thanks? 1145 01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:08,120 Speaker 4: Kesl Well come back, wrap things up neck. It's the 1146 01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:10,120 Speaker 4: Bumper to Bumper Show rap. 1147 01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:24,360 Speaker 2: It's brought to about American pressure. Very fast paced program today, 1148 01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:28,800 Speaker 2: including two outstanding in studio guests. Kessler just left us 1149 01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:34,200 Speaker 2: and at about three pint fifteen, the redoubtable Aaron Gleeman 1150 01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:37,040 Speaker 2: was in studio. And if you roll your eyes and say, 1151 01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:38,800 Speaker 2: what do I want to listen to a segment or 1152 01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:41,920 Speaker 2: segments about the Twins? Well, we actually talked about lots 1153 01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,680 Speaker 2: more than just the Twins. We did cover I think 1154 01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:48,800 Speaker 2: some salient Twins subjects because we've not had Aaron on 1155 01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:51,600 Speaker 2: in a while, and we eventually even talked to a 1156 01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:54,840 Speaker 2: little National Basketball Association as well. But plenty on ball 1157 01:02:54,880 --> 01:03:02,560 Speaker 2: strike appeal, very esoteric. We got very deep into some 1158 01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:06,200 Speaker 2: baseball pitching philosophy on the return of the splitter, the 1159 01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:09,760 Speaker 2: split fingered fastball, which is back in vogue after being 1160 01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:11,960 Speaker 2: out of vogue, and then before that it was in vogue. 1161 01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:15,880 Speaker 2: Everything you know that cliche about everything comes back eventually. 1162 01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:20,440 Speaker 2: That includes the split the split fingered fastball as a 1163 01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:25,320 Speaker 2: powerful pitch in many pitchers arsenal, maybe not so much 1164 01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:28,720 Speaker 2: for the Minnesota Twins. So that was three fifteen. We 1165 01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:30,760 Speaker 2: went all the way close to four point thirty, so 1166 01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:37,480 Speaker 2: an extended visit with Gleaman on a number of subjects. 1167 01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:40,280 Speaker 4: Tomorrow is going to be a good day too. 1168 01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:43,440 Speaker 2: I think in that we've got Andy Lueger is an 1169 01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:47,040 Speaker 2: in studio guest, and he's telling me he's bearing gifts 1170 01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:50,360 Speaker 2: and we might for it's a bit of a switch 1171 01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:52,320 Speaker 2: chalk talk. A lot of the toy department stuff with 1172 01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:56,680 Speaker 2: him as well, in addition to some more A section issues. 1173 01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:01,320 Speaker 2: I think he's at four o'clock tomorrow. Seaffert is tomorrow 1174 01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:04,040 Speaker 2: as well. From the I think the owner's meetings are 1175 01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:06,040 Speaker 2: still going. I'm not sure, but he's been there with 1176 01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:06,960 Speaker 2: them or for them. 1177 01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:08,600 Speaker 4: And then we. 1178 01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:11,600 Speaker 2: Expect to visit from the the Arena formerly known as 1179 01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:15,280 Speaker 2: the X with Russo Radio while back in action tomorrow night. 1180 01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:17,680 Speaker 2: So we're hoping to get Russo probably I'm guessing he 1181 01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:19,919 Speaker 2: will be at five o'clock, so a very good guest 1182 01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:22,600 Speaker 2: lineup tomorrow. Guards he out again tomorrow. Then I think 1183 01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:27,200 Speaker 2: he's back with me on Friday as well. There's some bitterness. 1184 01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:28,920 Speaker 3: You were going to say, I was gonna say, I 1185 01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:31,400 Speaker 3: think Guards he's back Monday. Oh he's off Friday to 1186 01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:33,640 Speaker 3: that's my understanding. Yes, well then that's a change. I 1187 01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:35,400 Speaker 3: think he's changed it from what he had told me 1188 01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:38,840 Speaker 3: a day ago. So okay, Well it's fast moving. Yeah. 1189 01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:42,200 Speaker 2: In any case, there's some people bitter that we're not 1190 01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:46,360 Speaker 2: talking about Gopher basket men's basketball tonight. They are playing 1191 01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:49,400 Speaker 2: in whatever that tournament is. 1192 01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:51,280 Speaker 4: Is it called the Crown in Vegas? Thinks. 1193 01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:59,240 Speaker 2: So I'm not begrudging the programs the decision to participate. 1194 01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:03,400 Speaker 2: I get why they might want to participate. I just 1195 01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:06,720 Speaker 2: refuse to believe that, if I'm being honest with my audience, 1196 01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:09,480 Speaker 2: that it has any real significance beyond potentially a little 1197 01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:14,000 Speaker 2: bit of cash. There's you know, we're back to if 1198 01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:17,400 Speaker 2: they play at the tournament, you're obligated to make a 1199 01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:18,200 Speaker 2: big deal of it. 1200 01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:19,000 Speaker 4: Not on this show. 1201 01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:21,280 Speaker 2: They can play it. They can have their own reasons 1202 01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:24,320 Speaker 2: for playing it. But come on, man, there's just not 1203 01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:27,600 Speaker 2: that much there there at all, So knock yourselves out. 1204 01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:31,480 Speaker 2: If you're interested in it and want to listen to 1205 01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:33,880 Speaker 2: it and want to watch it, that's all good. I'm 1206 01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:36,680 Speaker 2: not here to complain, but I think we've got to 1207 01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:42,600 Speaker 2: be honest about the consolation to the Consolation Tournament of 1208 01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:47,360 Speaker 2: college basketball at this point, I am a little surprised 1209 01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:51,320 Speaker 2: that Kessler apparently wasn't going to watch tonight. It sounds 1210 01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:53,200 Speaker 2: like he's going to be back watching the Mission to 1211 01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:58,080 Speaker 2: the Moon. The Artemis to launch as well, and don't 1212 01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:01,920 Speaker 2: text me anymore with well, this particular, their ship will 1213 01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:02,800 Speaker 2: not be landing in the moon. 1214 01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:03,200 Speaker 4: We know that. 1215 01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:06,360 Speaker 2: The larger issue is it's called Mission to the Moon 1216 01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:08,960 Speaker 2: because that's where they're going, and then it's going to 1217 01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:12,440 Speaker 2: start a series of launches that will presumably end if 1218 01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:14,000 Speaker 2: it goes well, with. 1219 01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:17,600 Speaker 4: Us back on the moon as as well. Phantom de 1220 01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:18,680 Speaker 4: Man in the air tonight. 1221 01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:21,720 Speaker 3: Phantom Demand Wild Weekly. It's my understanding the decko for 1222 01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:24,880 Speaker 3: game will be on the fan later tonight, so at 1223 01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:27,200 Speaker 3: like nine, Yeah, well that makes sense you might as well. 1224 01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:30,200 Speaker 3: Yeah I wouldn't why we wouldn't, but yes, Fod wild 1225 01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:33,200 Speaker 3: weekly go all that makes sense to me, and then 1226 01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:36,720 Speaker 3: we'll be back at headquarters here tomorrow discussing the sleet 1227 01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:39,840 Speaker 3: that's supposed to fall overnight. I don't know what it's 1228 01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:44,040 Speaker 3: gonna end up being, rain, snow, sleet, sludge. 1229 01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:44,480 Speaker 4: We'll see. 1230 01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:46,600 Speaker 2: I have absolutely no idea, but our plan is to 1231 01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:49,400 Speaker 2: get in here tomorrow and Blakemore pledges he will as well. 1232 01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:50,680 Speaker 4: We'll talk to you at three o'clock
