1
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: Dance too many.

2
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: I wonder if the US Olympic Women's hockey team will

3
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 2: ever know how close they came to be forever linked

4
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: to the latest bumpered them upper Snonami naming and good afternoon.

5
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 3: More on that later in the program.

6
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 2: We are off to a very quick start today because

7
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 2: we're gonna have a guest right off at the top

8
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 2: of the show. There'll be plenty on the US Women's

9
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: Olympic hockey gold medal winning performance. Late goal to tie

10
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: it and then they win it in overtime with I

11
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:04,559
Speaker 2: believe just under sixteen minutes to go in overtime, Megan

12
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: Keller with the game winner and the.

13
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 3: Rest is history.

14
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 2: So we'll definitely get back into that throughout today's program,

15
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 2: and what's been a very eventful I think in entertaining

16
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 2: Winter Olympiad in Cortina Milano as we like, or Milano Courtina,

17
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: I guess is more accurate. We'll also have today in studio,

18
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: Patrick Royci. He's joining us between four and five Doctor

Speaker 3: My name, of course is Dan Virrero and.

22
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 2: We are pleased to be joined and maybe if you

23
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: look back on just two weeks ago, shocked by the

24
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: fact that we have our next guest on the program

25
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: again as a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Mike Conley,

26
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 2: Welcome back, my friend.

27
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: Hey, how's it going.

28
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 4: We're doing well.

29
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 3: What a saga for you.

30
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: I was really looking forward to this visit today when

31
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 2: I found out you're going to be available to us today, because.

32
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 3: I I want the lowdown. Man.

33
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: It's been a fair to say, rather crazy couple of

34
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 2: weeks for you.

35
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's fair to say it was. Uh, it was wild,

36
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: some uh some new to some new for me. At

37
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: nineteenth season, I get to experience some completely new, So

38
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: it was it was crazy.

39
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 2: So let's go back to the beginning if we can.

40
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 2: I don't know how it works on trades anymore. I

41
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: don't even know how it works. You know. The assumption

42
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 2: is with veteran players, leaders like yourselves, they're going to

43
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: have maybe some early words that something might happen, that

44
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 2: the team fields are going to do that.

45
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 3: But I don't know how.

46
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 2: Difficult that is until a deal is actually made. So

47
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: tell me how you found out about the deal. How

48
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: you know whether you'd been given any hints at all

49
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: that you might be headed this way. What do you.

50
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: Remember, Yeah, well, obviously, you know, sim Connelly is one

51
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: of the more transparent gms that you can work with.

52
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: He keeps you in the loop, keeps you up to

53
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: date on if there's any movement, you know, and and

54
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: for the most part of you know, all the rumors

55
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: cycle and all that, you know, it was pretty quiet.

56
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: And up until that that day or so, actually that morning,

57
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: like ten thirty eleven o'clock, he called me and said, hey,

58
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 1: there's opportunity. There's fifty you know, fifty you got a

59
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: fifty fifty percent or fifty fifty chance to get traded.

60
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: And and you know, if we do the deal, it'd

61
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: be more for you know, money purposes, tech purposes, out

62
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: of YadA, da YadA. So we're kind of going over that.

63
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: And then I'm like, okay, cool. And so I still

64
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: don't know if it's going to happen or what's going

65
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: to happen. I don't know any teams involved, you know,

66
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: another that information has kind of been disclosed. And about

67
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: an hour and a half later, you know, you know,

68
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: I get the text from Jada McDaniel was actually of

69
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: all the people. First first person that text me and

70
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: he's like, oh ge oh no, you know, I can't

71
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: believe it. This is crazy, you know, just all this stuff,

72
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what happened? You know? And I started

73
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: checking my phone some more, and you know, happened to

74
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: see if I'll across my phone, you know, I was

75
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: traded to the Bulls. And just like from that point,

76
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: it was just a circus of you know, getting people

77
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: on the phone, seeing what was going on, checking in

78
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: on stuff, and just trying to figure out what exactly

79
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: just happened?

80
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 2: Is it? At that time? Do you feel devastated? Do

81
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 2: you feel rejected? Do you feel philosophical given that you

82
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: know there's been some conversation about it. What were your

83
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: emotions like then when it became the first trade became official.

84
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: Well, you know, at this stage you tend to prepare

85
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: yourself for that and it's crazy, but like you prepare

86
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: all this time, like, hey, you know, I get it

87
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: if I get traded. You know, it's part of the

88
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: business and it's likely that that'll happen later as you

89
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: go in your career. But not until that happens, does

90
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: it you You can't It's like, no way to really

91
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: prepare for that feeling. You know, the shot is still

92
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: like a little bit of shock. It's still like wow,

93
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: like it's a you're left with this unknown void for

94
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: a second, like, oh my god, I'm going somewhere new,

95
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: like I gotta you know, meet new people. I got

96
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: to re establish relationships or make new relationships. And and

97
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: then you obviously immediately go towards your family like, oh

98
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,559
Speaker 1: my god, you know, am I going to be away

99
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: for another three months away from them again? Or are

100
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: they going to come with me? Or are they happy?

101
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 1: Or what do they want? You know, there's all these

102
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: questions start popping in, so you just get a rush

103
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: of emotion and and you know, you think about your

104
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: time here and all things that you're able to do

105
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: as a team, and it just all kind of rushes

106
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: through and uh and you try to, you know, keep

107
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: it all together at that moment and figure out what

108
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: the next steps are.

109
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 3: And so when do you find out that you've been

110
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: traded again?

111
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: That was I think it was the next day, Yeah,

112
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: because I had flew back actually that the next the

113
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: day after I got trade, I flew back in that

114
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: early morning back to Minneapolis. Uh, just to be with

115
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: the family, and so I had word of you know,

116
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: whether I need to go to Chicago or whether I

117
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: need to go like where I need to go next.

118
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 1: And once I you know, found out that Chicago was looking,

119
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: they're you know, looking to trade me somewhere else, I

120
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: didn't know where to, you know, I kind of just

121
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: buckled in and waited for the next thing. And when

122
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: I ended up going to Charlotte, it was like, Okay,

123
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: now we're in Charlotte, you know, are they playing on

124
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: keeping me or what's the plan there? You know, just

125
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: kind of trying to walk through the scenario. Is it

126
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: a buyout? You know, what's happening? And and that's when

127
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: kind of all the the full circle moments started coming together.

128
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: I started reading more about like, hey, you know, there's

129
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: an opportunity you could end up in many Minnesota again.

130
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, this would be absolutely crazy, you know, just

131
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: to you know, end up getting another deal and signing

132
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season and blah blah blah.

133
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: So I was like, you know, just kind of waiting

134
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: and see it if that all was possible, and and

135
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: seeing what what what could happen going forward?

136
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 2: Did you know, were you aware before that stuff starts

137
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: percolating of the rule because I don't know that I

138
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 2: if I knew it, I forgot about it.

139
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 3: That if you're traded twice, there is.

140
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 2: That possibility that you could end up back with the

141
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: team that traded you traded you the first time.

142
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 3: Did you Were you aware of that rule on the

143
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 3: front end?

144
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: No, I wasn't. I was. I was aware that once

145
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: I was traded that I always thought that once I

146
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: was traded, I wouldn't be able to sign back with

147
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: the team. Yeah, you know that even if I got

148
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: bought out. That's kind of like the situation I was

149
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: always kind of thought, was so this this one was

150
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: diving to me?

151
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 4: And is it?

152
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 2: Did it become pretty I mean again you mentioned Tim's

153
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 2: pretty transparent guy. Is he?

154
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 3: I don't know how the rules work on that.

155
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 2: Is he allowed to talk with you or talk to

156
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 2: your agent? I mean, how quickly do you become aware

157
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 2: that this is more than rumor, that this is something

158
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 2: that that the wolves are trying to bring about to

159
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 2: make happen.

160
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's something he wasn't very transparent with. Even if

161
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: he had no I don't know that you know, he

162
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: didn't disclose that to me. But it's more it was

163
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: more of like me figuring this out, you know, like

164
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: you're googling things, you know what I mean, like googling

165
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: like oh this is this is you know, you're curious

166
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: and kind of saying like, oh, this could work, this

167
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 1: could work, And all we need to happen now is Charlotte,

168
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: you know, buy me out and we're back. You know,

169
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: it's a free agent and we had the opportunity to

170
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: go back to Minnesota. So I think once Charlotte made

171
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: you know we are to come to that decision there

172
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: that that's when you know, you started getting more conversation

173
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: from you know, Timberwolves and like, hey, you know, this

174
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: would be awesome if you we understand if you don't

175
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 1: want to be here, if you feel some type of

176
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: way or whatever. I'm like, no, man, this is this

177
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: is home. This is you know, my family loves it,

178
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: you know kind of thing, and I don't want to

179
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: have to uproot them at all, just midseason. So it

180
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: literally just all worked out in a perfect manner for

181
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: I think all parties involved.

182
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 3: How happy are you to be back here?

183
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: Man? I'm very happy, honestly, And it's it's I was

184
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: talking to the media earlier, and just like there's a

185
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: certain level of you know where you you get a

186
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: certain fulfillment by being around the team and watching the

187
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: team grow, watching the team struggle, watching the team have success,

188
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: going through that with a certain group of guys for

189
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: a matter of years that you don't want to like

190
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: just leave that, you know what I mean. It's not

191
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: something that you just gonna, uh, you're gonna try something

192
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: new now in the middle of the season and see

193
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: what happens, and it's you know, it's like it's not

194
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: really in me to do that. So it was like, man,

195
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: I there's no other place I'd rather finish this year

196
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: out with that. You know, these guys and obviously my

197
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: family played a big role in the decision. And knowing

198
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: that they'd be here, uh that you know, Dad would

199
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: be around the kids and be able to be around

200
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: everybody and my wife and everybody's comfortable, and just having

201
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 1: that that routine that we're so used to Heaven here

202
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: was something that I value a lot and I wanted

203
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: to make sure that you know, we retain that and

204
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: got it back uh, you know, got it back rolling it.

205
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 2: Mike, you mentioned your family, and as you said, You've

206
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 2: been around this long enough that maybe philosophically you kind

207
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 2: of get it, even though as I'm sure at that

208
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: the moment it happens, it's still got to sting and

209
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: and and be a difficult thing to process.

210
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 3: But let me give me some sense of your family.

211
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 2: What their reaction was when the first, you know, they

212
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 2: it became official that you were traded the first time.

213
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 2: And then their reaction as they find out, Hey, Dad's

214
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,359
Speaker 2: going to come back to us and to our team.

215
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm blessed man. Honestly, family is super resilient. Uh.

216
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: My kids were a part of the first time being

217
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: traded here, uh, from Utah to Minnesota. They they were

218
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: you know, obviously stayed in Utah. I was here, you

219
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: know for the second half of the season, and so

220
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: I was, you know, missing them for a few months.

221
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: And as they got older, they realized, you know, why

222
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: and how and how things worked a little bit. So

223
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: this time around, when I was explained them on the

224
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: FaceTime I had, you know, daddy's got traded to Chicago.

225
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: You know, their first questions were like is it warm? Uh,

226
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: you know, just just asking all these questions that had

227
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 1: nothing to do with basketball, just like, you know, things

228
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: that kids would ask, and it seemed like, you know,

229
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, they might be okay if if, if

230
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: nothing happens, you know what I mean. So yeah, they

231
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: surprised me with their level, the level you know, of

232
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: comfort and understanding what was happening, and that you know

233
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: it's not the end of the world. And then when

234
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: you know, I told them also that you know, who knows,

235
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: the next competitor could get traded again, and you know

236
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: I could. I don't know where my final team is

237
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: and where I'm going to end up. So just just

238
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: you know, hold off on you know, any you know,

239
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: opinions or whatever you have, you know, until the dust

240
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: settled in the next few days after the deadline, and

241
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: see what happens.

242
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a good if you ever decide to

243
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 2: write a book, and I don't know if you've ever

244
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 2: thought about that, because I'm sure you could. You could

245
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: write a hell of a book as long as you've

246
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 2: been in this thing and with your background and so forth,

247
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 2: your family background. This is gonna be a nice chapter, right,

248
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a hell of a chapter.

249
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: For sure. For sure. It's one that you know, not

250
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: too many people experience, that's for sure.

251
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 3: No, that is definite.

252
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 2: So do you have any sense now that you're back

253
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 2: officially what your basketball role I'm talking about in terms

254
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 2: of playing time on court is going to be? You

255
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 2: know in the interim that obviously the Wolves did make

256
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 2: a move to help depth and in getting Io Desumu.

257
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 2: So what's your sense of or maybe even what you've

258
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 2: been told regarding Okay, how much are you gonna have

259
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 2: a chance to play?

260
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, we honestly, we haven't talked much about it. Yeah,

261
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: today actually being my first real day yesterday actually I signed,

262
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: but or two days ago, I can't remember when it was,

263
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: but so the day it was like my actual first

264
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: day of being around the coaches and practicing and doing

265
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: all that stuff. So honestly, I think, you know, after

266
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: watching I was watching the games closely after I was traded,

267
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: and you had Io, and you know, you got Bones

268
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: playing at a high level, you got TJ coming back,

269
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: You got all kinds of guys that are going to

270
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: be in that fold in that rotation. I think, come

271
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: and uh, you know this the second half of the

272
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 1: season that you know, whether my role is a lot

273
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: or a little, you know, I think it, it'll fit

274
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 1: around those guys, you know what I mean. I think

275
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: those guys have been a big part of what we're

276
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: what we're you know, what we've been and what we're

277
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: trying to do and have been playing really really well.

278
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: And like you said at Inhio and what they you know,

279
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: what we expect from him and what we you know,

280
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: expect him to do on a nightly basis requires them

281
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: to be on the floor a lot. And uh and

282
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: so that's a lot of minutes. It'll be eaten up.

283
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: And you just have to, you know, be ready to

284
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: play whenever you get that moment. Be ready to play.

285
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: If it's you know, seven, eight minutes, if it's saying,

286
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: if it's twelve, whatever, maybe just be ready to go

287
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: out there and and help the team.

288
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 2: I like to think that with what you represent, you're

289
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 2: good comfort food for any team if you play, that's

290
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 2: a bonus. Who knows, as you say, how this thing's

291
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 2: going to go. People get hurt, things change. Who's to say,

292
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 2: but I do think you do provide comfort food for

293
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 2: this team in what you still can offer even if

294
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 2: your minutes are limited, and you know, even in the

295
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 2: short time that you've been gone I don't know how

296
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 2: much you've been aware of the conversation about now they

297
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 2: finished with your club finish with two nice victories right

298
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 2: before the break, but before that, it was like, you know,

299
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 2: an all points bulletin crisis. Rudy was very frustrated, expressed

300
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 2: some concern about defensive intensity after a game. Your head

301
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 2: coach is talking about how moody the team is. In fact,

302
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 2: somebody just texted said, wanted to know if you brought

303
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 2: your mood rings with you for the locker room. So

304
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 2: I view you as a guy who can help with that,

305
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 2: and maybe even in that short period of time that

306
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 2: you were gone, might have missed a little bit of that.

307
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 2: So can you speak to that issue and what you

308
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 2: can do, whether you're playing or not, to maybe help

309
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 2: the coaches.

310
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 3: You know, then at this in this case.

311
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 2: You as a player in the locker room, help with

312
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 2: that particular issue or that particular mystery surrounding this team.

313
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the crazy that's the crazy part you know

314
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: about our team is you know, we have a lot

315
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: of emotional guys. We have a lot of you know,

316
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: talented guys, uh, prideful guys, both players and coaches, And

317
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: and I think what was realized immediately when I was

318
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: traded was you know, the I think there was a

319
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: bridge there that people, whether you knew it or not,

320
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: they kind of brought all that together, almost glued together,

321
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: being able to communicate those both sides or just keep

322
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: guys from blowing their top when they get angry or

323
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: whatever the situation may be. Was you know, it was

324
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: me in that aspect of that, that leadership role for

325
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: these guys. I think everybody had got accustomed to it

326
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: and used to it, and then you know, you see

327
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: it gone for you know, a week or whatever it was.

328
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: You started to realize that, hey, we you know, what's

329
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: going on on, Like now you know, we're gonna have

330
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: to figure something out, figure out how to you know,

331
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 1: get through this and and and not you know, go

332
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 1: go south and uh and you know it's weird. But

333
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: that's something that I guess I've been able to provide for,

334
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: you know, throughout my careers. You said that that level

335
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: of comfort, that's stability, and I think, you know, whether

336
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: I'm playing or not, whether I'm on the floor or not,

337
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: you know, just a big part of you know, the

338
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: DNA of the team. And they told me like the

339
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: first shoot around in Toronto when I wasn't there and

340
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: they're bringing the huddle in and everybody just set there quiet,

341
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: uh for like five seconds. Because I'm usually the one

342
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: that you know, addresses the team or brings the team

343
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: in or whatever for every team huddle and stuff, so uh,

344
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: you know, it was like a really awkward silence and

345
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: nobody knew what to do. So it was that was

346
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: kind of like one of those those telltale moments where

347
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 1: it's like dang, you know, like you know what, what

348
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,239
Speaker 1: just happened kind of deal. So there's an importance to

349
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 1: that and and hopefully I can just you know, continue

350
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: doing what I've been doing, you know, as far as

351
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 1: regard you know, regarding that for our team.

352
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 2: Well, you have their respect, right, That's I mean, everybody

353
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: talks about respect, but not everybody has it, and that

354
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 2: isn't always said obviously because it's an uncomfortable deal. But

355
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 2: you got it, and and I think I really do believe. Look,

356
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 2: we know who the coach of this team is. And

357
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 2: I don't think you want to be. I don't think

358
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 2: they're giving you extra money to be an assistant coach.

359
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 3: Maybe they are. You can tell us if they are.

360
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 2: But the fact is there's always a player component to

361
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 2: this thing, as you know better than I. And if

362
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 2: there's a player or players who can provide some of that,

363
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 2: I think it's it's incredibly invaluable. And you could argue again,

364
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 2: based on what you've told us before over the years

365
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 2: about the emotions of this team or individual players, the

366
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 2: mercurial nature of some of them, it's it's crucial. It's

367
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 2: it's it's a big part of giving this team the

368
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 2: best chance to get back at least as far as

369
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 2: you did last year, even further.

370
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 1: For sure. And I think you know that's you know,

371
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: it's it's been obviously certain times of the year, certain

372
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: losses we've had. Just the talent that we have is

373
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: you know, one of the more deep talented rosters that

374
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: you'll find. And and we can go total with anybody

375
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: in that aspect. And the things that we need to

376
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 1: work on the most are are the mental sides, you know,

377
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: not not getting too upset or too high or too low. Uh,

378
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: And in different moments, in different times of the year,

379
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: in different games, or whether you're playing well or not,

380
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: like we have to find ways to to get around that.

381
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 1: And and and and mature in that aspect in order

382
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: to you know, make those next steps. And and yeah,

383
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: so hopefully you know that doesn't go by the wayside

384
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 1: of something that we continue to view as one of

385
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: the more important aspects of of our journey to to

386
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully you know, getting further and further as

387
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: we go during the season. But like you said, like

388
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: you know, guys just respect you know, certain voices they respect,

389
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 1: you know, what, got the work, guys put in, the

390
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: sacrifices that guys give, you know, just really you know,

391
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: there's a lot of guys on our team who really

392
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: sacrifice a lot for each other and and you know,

393
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: are willing to, you know, take the blame, willing to

394
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 1: deflect the positives and attention away from themselves other people.

395
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: So you know, we we have guys like that. We

396
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: build around those guys, and and and and we're just

397
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: going to continue to try to glue this thing together

398
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: and keep it, keep it rolling, you know, through the playoffs.

399
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, and and part of this too is they know

400
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 2: you don't have any agendas. They're not an agenda guy,

401
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 2: and and that you can't fake that. Either you either

402
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 2: have that or you don't. I am curious to get

403
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 2: your view now that you've you know, been kind well,

404
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 2: I guess you never really left technically, but weren't necessarily

405
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 2: with the team day to day. Did you understand when

406
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 2: when Rudy kind of went off after a game, I

407
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 2: actually liked it because I think you know, it's dangerous

408
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 2: out in public, you could say, and I know Finchy

409
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 2: didn't seem to love it the next day very much,

410
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 2: But I to me, that's Rudy, even on a night

411
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 2: where you could argue his defense, wasn't that great just

412
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 2: trying as one of the again, you know, the the

413
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 2: the older players the team, to say, man, this is

414
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 2: we can't shortcut this any any longer.

415
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 3: What did you make of that?

416
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 2: And maybe are you going to need to be a

417
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 2: mediator in that regard between Rudy and Finchy?

418
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,239
Speaker 1: Right? You know when I when I heard about it,

419
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: I thought it was you know, Rudy addresses you know,

420
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: his his opinions different ways, and you know, I think

421
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: coach and all of us, you know, there's one thing

422
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: to say stuff out in public, and I would say

423
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: to the team privately or in practice or in film,

424
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: and we give ample times to speak up and say

425
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: things and and do all that. I think, you know,

426
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: those are the moments. Rudy's not wrong. He's not wrong

427
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: that we that you know, we need a certain type

428
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: of effort level, we need a certain type of commitment

429
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: to that the defensive side of the ball. On bad

430
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: nights we're not having, you know, shots fall. You got

431
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: to play a certain ways regardless. The standard has to

432
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: be the standard, and but not always does that have

433
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: to be a public thing, you know, So so I

434
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: think there's kind of both both can be true in

435
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: that state and in that sense, and and you know,

436
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: it's something we can always talk about or work and

437
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: work on the you know, in the hours that we

438
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 1: get to practice together and watch film together, and if

439
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: we have that on your chest, we can always tell

440
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: it to each other because that's kind of relationship we

441
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: should have. So I think that's where, you know, the

442
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: lines got crossed a little bit between coach and and

443
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: Rudy and and the message. You know, whether it was accepted,

444
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: I'm not you know, I wasn't around to see what

445
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: happened in the film or the days after that, But

446
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: whether it's accepted or not, or whether they moved on

447
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: from it, you know, there's something I haven't been able

448
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: to talk to them about.

449
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 2: Have you were you around your teammates today, have you

450
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 2: i mean, have you had a chance to get back

451
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 2: with him and and I'm just curious what what some

452
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 2: of the guys have said.

453
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was with him today, I got the practice,

454
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: I compete a little bit, and I do all the

455
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: you know, go through everything workouts, lift right treatments. So

456
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: it was good. It was good to see everybody, Like

457
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: everybody was just super excited. Like I mentioned how you know,

458
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 1: we're getting ready to start practice and bring the huddle in,

459
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: and everybody just looked at me, smiling, excited that I

460
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 1: was getting ready to say like, you know whatever lock

461
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: in or you know, hard work on three or wolves

462
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 1: on three or whatever I was about to say, and uh,

463
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: you know, Bones jump jumped on me and started, you know,

464
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: just just being really excited about the fact that, uh,

465
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: you know, we kind of got the group back together again.

466
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: So it was it was pretty cool to see everybody

467
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: and see emotions just being positive.

468
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 2: One last item, and this is something we could obviously

469
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 2: talk about in more depth down the road, but have

470
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 2: you given much thought like do you see do you

471
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 2: have any vision that if you were given the opportunity,

472
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 2: you might want to try to stay with this organization

473
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 2: even when you're done playing in one form or another.

474
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, honestly, I've keeping all that that open. Obviously.

475
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: I know that you know, my time is coming soon,

476
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: whether it's after the next year or whatever. I'm trying

477
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: to get one more year if I can. But you know,

478
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: these organizations that I've been a part of, you know,

479
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: from Memphis to hear really just have created just great

480
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: relationships and been around some great people, great players and

481
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 1: staff and people in the city. So this is another

482
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 1: one of those places where you know, if I do

483
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: get opportunity to do something, So I don't necessarily want

484
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 1: to be a coach or anything like that, but who knows.

485
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 1: Never say never and forget an opportunity to be around Obviously,

486
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: you know I would wouldn't better and I being able

487
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: to come back here.

488
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny when the story broke that you

489
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 2: were being traded, we did several salutes to you and Guard,

490
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 2: and once we realized that you were going to be

491
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 2: able to come back, I think, as my producer Justin

492
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 2: Guard said, you know, it would be cool what they

493
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 2: ought to do when for tomorrow night's game, they ought

494
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 2: to put together a video of all the things that

495
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 2: were said about you that were you know, about the

496
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 2: fact that they thought you were not coming back here.

497
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 2: They're trying to do the salutes to what you meant

498
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 2: to the organization.

499
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 3: You should hear all that.

500
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 2: I mean maybe you have heard it in different ways,

501
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 2: but that wouldn't that'd be kind of cool because it's

502
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 2: so unprecedented to be for you to be back in

503
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 2: that same uniform listening to people salute you as if.

504
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: You're gone, right, Yeah, that was I think Mike and

505
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 1: Norri was telling me today, is like you could be

506
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: one of the first players to get a farewell farewell

507
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: video and welcome back video same same game. So yeah,

508
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: that would be That would be cool, honestly to just

509
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: you know, be around these guys and people every day

510
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: and you don't really necessarily hear those parts. You know,

511
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: people don't tell you those things on the daily. Basically

512
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: they assume they're going to see you the next day

513
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: and and so to hear I'm sure to hear something

514
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: positive coming from them, you know, mean a lot, so

515
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: but yeah, you know, it'll be interesting to see what happens.

516
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 3: Do you have the handshake for Desumu figured out yet?

517
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,479
Speaker 1: Not yet, not yet right now. It's been really cordial. Ye,

518
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: but but we're gonna get it. We don't get it going. Man,

519
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: I gotta get get a get a bit of his

520
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: personality down and you know, just kind of like try

521
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: to like, you know, cater to to who they are.

522
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 3: He's a nice player. I really think he can help

523
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 3: you guys. What do you think?

524
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: Oh? Man, I love his, love his He's really like

525
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: he's a lot, like much bigger guard than I remember

526
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: when we're playing against him. When I see him in

527
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: practice day, I was like, he looks it looks like

528
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 1: a like a two three type body, but plays more

529
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 1: of that point too. It's sort of like what nik

530
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: Kilda did for us so well, physical plays defense, push

531
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: at the pace, shoots the ball at the high high rate.

532
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: Creates a lot of opportunities with the way that he plays.

533
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 1: So just a really good kid. It seems like you know,

534
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: he's got everything in order both fall and off the court.

535
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: So just excited to get to see him up close

536
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: now be teammates with him and hopefully you know, he

537
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: just keeps reviving what he's providing and helping his team,

538
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: you know, go to the next level.

539
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 2: Welcome back, my friend. We're delighted to have you back

540
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 2: on the show as well. We hope to stay in

541
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 2: touch intermittently as we've done the last few years, and

542
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 2: hopefully we'll talk soon.

543
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 3: Thanks.

544
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: Mike, sounds good. Appreciate you.

545
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 3: Appreciate you.

546
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 2: That's it.

547
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 3: That's Mike Conley, Minnesota Timberwolf. Again.

548
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 2: We are aware that there has been some breaking US

549
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 2: Olympic Women's hockey news.

550
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 3: We will review all of that.

551
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 2: Get some good reaction via the Bradshawn Brian kaffe in

552
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 2: text line. Don't forget Patrick Royci in studio. In about

553
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 2: thirty minutes, there's your Olympic sounder, just in time to

554
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 2: watch the gold medal ceremony. The members of the US

555
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 2: Women's Olympic hockey team receiving they're gold medals. Please don't

556
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 2: drop them because they shatter. That's been a problem earlier

557
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 2: in the Olympics. A rather improbable finish. It's being described

558
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 2: to me Guardsy as basically Milano Cortina is Team USA's

559
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 2: version of Sauchi toowenty fourteen in that back then, So

560
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 2: what how many years ago is that twelve? Yep, even

561
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 2: I can do that. Math US was up two to

562
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 2: one on Canada late in the third period, they score,

563
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 2: Canada scores late in regulation and then wins in OT.

564
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 2: The US obviously returned the favor today, scoring late in

565
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 2: regulation first Hillary Knight tying the game correct yes, and

566
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 2: becoming left yeah, and I think becoming the all time

567
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 2: goals scorer in Olympic history correct women's hockey of the history.

568
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 2: And then Meghan Keller gets the game winner in OT.

569
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 2: How deep in OT was it? I honestly don't remember

570
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 2: the sign Maybe seven eight minutes it was, I think

571
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 2: in that range. I want to say between about that

572
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 2: that much time or maybe fifteen minutes and change, because interestingly,

573
00:29:56,040 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 2: the rules are different for overtime hockey, well at least

574
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 2: compared to what we saw the other day on the

575
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 2: men's side. Now maybe it changes for the gold medal game.

576
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, but in this case, it's twenty minutes

577
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 2: a hot now three twenty minutes and then at which

578
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 2: point I'm assuming it it was penalty shots. I'm not

579
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 2: even sure our shootout, but it did not take that long.

580
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 2: And it's interesting because I didn't get to see the

581
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 2: first period, but I kept reading these tweets from Russo,

582
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 2: who's obviously all over it, basically saying, I don't recognize

583
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 2: this team. I don't recognize the US team that started

584
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 2: that game with a thirty one to one goal advantage

585
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 2: during the Olympics. And what I saw is the game.

586
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 2: I picked it up in period two and what I

587
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 2: saw as the game went on it was It's almost

588
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 2: the classic case of I think you know and I

589
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 2: think we saw it a little bit. With the checks

590
00:30:56,120 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 2: against Canada. You start saying to yourself, why not us?

591
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 3: Why not? Now you know you're in it.

592
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 2: It's a close game, we're within reach, and you almost

593
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 2: gain sustenance from that. And hockey's a weird game. A

594
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 2: lot of it is goaltending related. I thought the goaltending

595
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 2: in this game was superb on both sides, quite frankly.

596
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 2: But then you start going, well, we're gonna we got

597
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 2: a chance to steal this thing. And there were stretches

598
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 2: in the third period where I thought, well, Canada just

599
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 2: looks better. Yeah right now, Yeah, we were on the grind,

600
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 2: very much on the grind, but they in the end

601
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 2: get the thing done, and you know, the US team

602
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 2: is in that weird position we've talked about before that

603
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 2: you almost have to win, you become a victim of

604
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 2: your own dominance, where you're it's so one sided over

605
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 2: the course of the tournament that you're never going to

606
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 2: hear the end of it. Hell, the committee was going

607
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 2: to name the Snonami after the US team not getting

608
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 2: it done. It was on the table, It was definitely

609
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 2: on the table, but they don't Maybe that motivation for him.

610
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 2: Maybe deep down they heard about it somehow, or somebody

611
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 2: got the word to uh sure, Courtina, I'll go with that.

612
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 3: In any case, they get the thing done.

613
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 2: Looks like the flag raising right now in the national

614
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 2: anthem being sung quite heartily by the members of the

615
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 2: US Club. So again, it's been I think, a fascinating

616
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 2: It's been an entertaining Olympics across the board. But the

617
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 2: stories from a US standpoint, I think have been very rich.

618
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 2: Some agony of defeat, some thrill a victory, and in

619
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 2: the agony of defeat department. If the US would not

620
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 2: have come back, would this go to the top of

621
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 2: the list. I think they would have to based on

622
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 2: their dominance to this point. But to their credit, they

623
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 2: found a way and the timing they did. They pulled

624
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 2: the goalie on a TV timeout with the puck in

625
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 2: there's in what would be scoring in for them, right.

626
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 3: It was perfectly set up.

627
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 2: I don't think the puck ever ever left the zone

628
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 2: scoring zone from that point until the goal was scored.

629
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 2: So my point being, the US didn't even have to

630
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 2: use their own time out. I believe it was a

631
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 2: TV timeout if I'm not mistaken, And that was with

632
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 2: just I want to say it was like two twenty

633
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 2: thirty to go. Was It was definitely longer than two minutes. Yes,

634
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 2: when the decision was made when they came out of

635
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 2: break to go to it to pull the goal. So

636
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 2: there you have it.

637
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 5: It is amazing that when you are the heavy favorite,

638
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 5: because the US was the heavy favorite, they've been trucking

639
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 5: Canada basically this entire time, yes, including earlier being the

640
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 5: heavy favorite and having that edge. I feel like that

641
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 5: lasts for maybe a period in a game like this

642
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 5: because once you don't assert yourself like everyone thinks you're

643
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 5: going to, that changes, then the pressure changes, I would

644
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 5: imagine dramatically, and it'll be interesting to hear. You know,

645
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 5: Parker obviously's over there to watch Taylor Heizie it'll be

646
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 5: I'm sure they'll both come in to talk about it.

647
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 5: Parker may be more than Taylor, but to feel what

648
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 5: it felt like in that building, you know, as Canada's

649
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 5: really out playing the US for I heard during the

650
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 5: overtime intermission the analyst said that Canada had the better end.

651
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 5: I better played for fifty eight minutes. Just straight up,

652
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 5: they played better for fifty eight minutes, and the US

653
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 5: hung around and hung in And then who else would

654
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,720
Speaker 5: it be but Hillary Knight, the longtime, longtime, long time captain.

655
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 5: Sometimes you just got to grind it and figure it

656
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 5: out and want to play to end it in overtime

657
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 5: that's going to be replayed forever. Just a completely mythic goal,

658
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,399
Speaker 5: great pass, great goal, and there's the gold medals.

659
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 3: And there you have it.

660
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,359
Speaker 2: The let me get I'm trying to find the I'm

661
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:41,760
Speaker 2: gonna find the tweet from Russo that got my attention.

662
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 3: Here it is. USA looks very nervous. Nothing is clean.

663
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 2: Too many players in the ice, penalty passes are off

664
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 2: and chasing the puck all period. Very unlike this team,

665
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 2: which has dominated this tournament thirty one to one. Goal

666
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 2: advantage and beating Canada seven games in a row.

667
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 3: That was the vibe. Yeah, for a lot of that game.

668
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 2: It's the Olympics, man and that, and we've learned that

669
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,720
Speaker 2: pretty much over and over again. Right, yes and again.

670
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 2: I mentioned the goaltending being very good on both sides.

671
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 2: You can also make the argument if Frankel doesn't make

672
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 2: some of the saves that that she makes, that we're

673
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 2: not even talking about this, that the lead had a

674
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 2: chance to be two or three to nothing, and then

675
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 2: you're talking about a completely very much different ballgame, by

676
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 2: the way, a different put game. I'm reminded by a

677
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,879
Speaker 2: couple of Texters. I think this came up noon to three.

678
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 2: So in the in the metal run, in the metal games.

679
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 2: The overtimes in hockey for the Olympics are twenty minutes.

680
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 2: If it's a game earlier in the tournament, like it

681
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 2: was for the US it was a quarterfinal on the

682
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 2: men's side, then it it's the rules are different. What

683
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,280
Speaker 2: do we say ten minutes and then you go to

684
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 2: a shoot up. So that's the that's the distinction. There's

685
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 2: not a distinction between men and women. I'll be honest,

686
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 2: just whether what round you're playing in.

687
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 5: I don't love the three on three overtime or the

688
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 5: penalty shots, you know, the shootouts for any of the rounds.

689
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 2: No, I don't love it. You know, I don't disagree

690
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 2: with that. I never have loved it. I get it.

691
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 5: For the regular season in the NHL, yeah, it makes sense.

692
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 5: Everybody's got eighty two games to play. Let's give the

693
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 5: fans some type of resolution. Let's go. But man, a

694
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 5: gold medals on the line. I either you got three

695
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 5: on three or even worse, you got to shootout. I

696
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 5: feel like it.

697
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, this isn't like maybe you get it if it's

698
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 2: the NHL regular season. Yeah, there's you know, eighty two

699
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 2: or soon to be eighty four games. But when you

700
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 2: get to this level, you know, I tend to agree.

701
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 2: I think we've talked about that with with Louis over

702
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 2: a long period of time.

703
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 3: What I thought was interesting is the three on three.

704
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 2: I see in the NHL it once one side had

705
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 2: the puck, they dominated it a lot more in it then.

706
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 2: And I saw in this game yere who more back

707
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 2: and forth. There was definitely more back and forth than

708
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,839
Speaker 2: we see. I think it in an NHL three on three,

709
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 2: which added, I think to the measure of drama and

710
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 2: the uncertainty that whether you have the puck or not,

711
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 2: you're not going to necessarily have maybe the same puck

712
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 2: possession as as well. Six four six eighty six is

713
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,399
Speaker 2: the bratch On Brian Kfin text, like we will name

714
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 2: the Snonami today. The committee has worked hard. We've appreciated

715
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 2: a number of the suggestions that have indeed come in.

716
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 2: I probably have more texts right now than anything. And

717
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 2: this was the greatest nomination or the most frequent nomination.

718
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 2: Everybody wants to know what time you got to the barn.

719
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 2: They can't sleep tonight as it was they had to

720
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 2: sleep last night without knowing, and they want to know

721
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 2: what time you got to the barn. So why don't

722
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 2: you fill everybody in on what your route was? Well,

723
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 2: tell you what let's it will pause and then you

724
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 2: can give your idea without giving away secrets, because I

725
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 2: know you got a lot of secret back door passageways

726
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 2: to the barn.

727
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,720
Speaker 5: From here, I'll say there were no secrets last night. Okay,

728
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 5: every secret was out.

729
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,399
Speaker 2: Went how many dirty looks you got at the bar

730
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 2: and once you got there, if the head coach took

731
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 2: took it out on you, your head coach, that you weren't

732
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 2: there on time or when you were supposed to be there.

733
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 3: We'll get into all that.

734
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 2: Lots more Olympic stuff, as I mentioned Royce in studio

735
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 2: at the top of the.

736
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 4: EE gold medal games.

737
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,280
Speaker 3: No such thing as a shootout.

738
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:41,320
Speaker 2: They'll play until someone scores or somebody dies.

739
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 3: That's the rule, and I hope nobody dies.

740
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 2: Bubarta Bupper continues on the fan on a very This

741
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 2: is a sort of a calm after the snonami Thursday

742
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 2: here in the Twin Cities that we effectually referred to

743
00:38:55,680 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 2: as Minneapolis and Saint Paul. If you missed the start

744
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 2: of the show, we had a nice lengthy conversation, sort

745
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:11,800
Speaker 2: of a reintroduction to Mike Conley, the Timberwolves point guard

746
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:19,399
Speaker 2: who left and then came back practiced with the team today.

747
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 2: They return to post All Star Game action tomorrow night.

748
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 3: Correct. Who we playing Dallas?

749
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 5: Oh that's right, yep, the MAVs at Target Center six

750
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 5: thirty puck drop.

751
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 2: I believe Tomorrow night six. Yeah, I noticed that that

752
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 2: must be one of those.

753
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 5: TV I think it's an ESPN game deals.

754
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 2: Well, the Mavericks be at full strength. I don't know,

755
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 2: I haven't seen. In other words, well, Kyrie Viave, when's Kyriek?

756
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 2: Who's going to come back first?

757
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 3: Kyrie?

758
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 2: Who's the Celtic who's been out for the year, Jason Tatum,

759
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum or Greek Freak. Which of the three are

760
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 2: going to come back first? Probably Greek Free Yeah, then Tatum.

761
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 2: Kyrie I think just announced yesterday. I think he's shutting

762
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 2: her down. Oh I didn't see that.

763
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 5: I think he announced yesterday. No kidding, he's done. I'll

764
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 5: double check that.

765
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 3: But a little bit more.

766
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 2: I'm glad we didn't trade for him. A little good

767
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 2: so good tanking purposes for the Dallas Mavericks, Yes, they're

768
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 2: they're excited because I think don't they have I think

769
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 2: they have their pick or a pick Probably hard to

770
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 2: keep track on that. What about the rookie sensation, Well,

771
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 2: he played tomorrow night because he's not available. Didn't you

772
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 2: tell me he was already ruled out for tonight? And

773
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 2: the Mavericks have a game tonight? They do?

774
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 3: Do you have a game tonight?

775
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll try to figure out who that is against.

776
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 5: That's right, So it's a schedule loss for Dallas coming

777
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 5: out of the break to play us tomorrow night. That's

778
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 5: too bad for them, they get did they already play?

779
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 2: Let me see here? What are we doing here? Hang on,

780
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 2: I think it was I thought you had originally said

781
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 2: Dallas plays tonight.

782
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 5: I thought so too, But it's not on the schedule,

783
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,879
Speaker 5: so maybe I read it wrong a couple of days ago.

784
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 2: It could be.

785
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 5: It wouldn't be the first time. It wouldn't be the

786
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 5: first time they wanted something on the computer. So give

787
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 5: us your highway misadventures or adventures.

788
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I blew out of here at about five

789
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 2: o five five o five, yeah, exactly right, about an

790
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 2: hour after you intended to about yeah, forty five to

791
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 2: fifty minutes after I intended.

792
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not piling on.

793
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 2: There's people. Here's what's weird. People think we're piling on

794
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 2: Blake Moore. You should check the text line. I'm I'm

795
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 2: not piling on him. I know he feels bad about it.

796
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 4: I believe me.

797
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 3: This isn't you know.

798
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 2: Let's let's let's just make fun of it, mock and

799
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 2: ridicule the part time guy.

800
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:35,399
Speaker 3: Whatever. No, it's not that at all.

801
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 2: The Texters are harder on him that I have been,

802
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 2: and I, well, you've been harder on him than me.

803
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 2: It was hard on him for one specific aspect.

804
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 3: That's it.

805
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 5: I did laugh though, when I was listening to you

806
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,959
Speaker 5: and Kessler goes, I understand Brett had a hard time

807
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 5: just that perfect Kessler, Yes, understated, Yeah, just understated. Well,

808
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 5: by the way, I'm at that point when Kessler said

809
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 5: that at like five seventeen, you probably could have seen

810
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 5: my car out that window, like even though I'd been

811
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 5: gone for ten to fifteen minutes. Because it was it

812
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 5: was a mess. Anybody that was driving yesterday knows it

813
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 5: was a disaster. So I left at five oh five.

814
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 5: I'll go to the end.

815
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 2: First.

816
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 5: I texted my wife walking in the concourse at Williams

817
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 5: Arena at six ten.

818
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 2: I thought that was a miracle. I thought that was

819
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 2: actually good. Well, I knew based on all the reports.

820
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, the map, the Google map had been pretty consistent

821
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 5: that it was going to take me forty five to

822
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,439
Speaker 5: fifty five to sixty minutes to get to the ball.

823
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 3: You're not going to give up the route?

824
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 5: Well, the route I usually do from here is I

825
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 5: will take the frontage Road on three ninety four all

826
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 5: the way down to Penn, and then I'll get on

827
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 5: that way because you can make up a little bit

828
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 5: of time.

829
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 2: Then you'll get on three ninety four at that point. Yes, okay, yes,

830
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 2: so I usually do that. You're not saying you did

831
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 2: that this time, though, I would have, But that way

832
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 2: was I couldn't even get onto that way. The street

833
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 2: over here, Oh, I don't even know what it's called.

834
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 2: I couldn't even turn right to get in between those

835
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 2: apartment buildings because so many people were already doing that.

836
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:05,839
Speaker 2: It was.

837
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 5: So I got onto three ninety four and just grinded

838
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 5: it out until basically you got past Penn and everybody

839
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 5: was trying to get onto ninety four.

840
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 3: They weren't. No one was going downtown.

841
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 5: So once I got past there, it was wide open

842
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 5: by the ABC rank and then it was just grinding

843
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 5: through the slush of the side streets in downtown and

844
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 5: getting through the lights and everything. So yeah, it took

845
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,919
Speaker 5: me fifty five minutes to get from here Saint Louis

846
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 5: Park to Williams Arena. And my partner, Lynette, she comes

847
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 5: from Cannon Falls. She had texted me, I don't know,

848
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,359
Speaker 5: four forty five something like that, saying I think I'm

849
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 5: going to be late. We're not moving this whole thing.

850
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 5: I said, no worries. I'm going to be late too.

851
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 5: We're all going to be late. Everybody's going to be late.

852
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 5: It is what it is. We started six thirty, so.

853
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 3: You didn't get mocked by by dawn.

854
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 2: No, you made it. We were good.

855
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 3: Race made it.

856
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 2: We were good. I had no doubts where she was made.

857
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 3: How you get in the.

858
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,839
Speaker 5: Buildings as tight as it used to be, No, it's

859
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 5: not my god, No, Thankfully, the stuff I do with

860
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 5: Don is much earlier in the day, so that was

861
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 5: already done that he was in the barn. We do

862
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 5: some stuff with an assistant coach closer to game time

863
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 5: that we just had to scrap. I just had to say,

864
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 5: that's not going to work. It's not It is what

865
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:16,959
Speaker 5: it is. He was cool, it's not a big deal.

866
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 5: But the people that like check me in when you

867
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,280
Speaker 5: get to their like, you know, wow, you're really cutting

868
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 5: it close.

869
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.

870
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 5: By the time I walked in, we were on the

871
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 5: air in twenty minutes, which is an ideal. No, but

872
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 5: the hay was in the barn for this game, so

873
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 5: that's why I was here as long as I was

874
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 5: yesterday because I wasn't afford it. Sometimes I'm like scrambling

875
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 5: to get everything done before the game, or I've left

876
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 5: something that I need to finish, And yesterday, mostly because

877
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 5: it was a big game and I wanted to make

878
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 5: sure I was ready from the jump, I had pretty

879
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 5: much everything I needed to do done.

880
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 2: And most importantly, the team down at the half right

881
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 2: by dominated it sounds like, yeah, I could see. I

882
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 2: thought it was on Big ten Network. It was on

883
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 2: Big ten Plus, I think, right, which I don't think

884
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 2: I have right, you got it's a different subscription. It

885
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 2: is a different subscription. So that was annoying because I

886
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 2: really wanted to watch YEP a little bit of the

887
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 2: ball game. So they take care of business against Ohio State. Yeah,

888
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 2: ranked number ten YEP in the country. And you have

889
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 2: one more team ranked coming in later this.

890
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:19,280
Speaker 5: Week, correct, Michigan State ranked eighteen. Sunday night, five o'clock.

891
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 5: You can watch that on FS one, FS one, FS one,

892
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 5: and you can hear it on the Plus for sure.

893
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 3: Okay, you don't know if it's on the fans, you

894
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 3: won't be.

895
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 2: On the fans. Why not?

896
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 5: We just don't do that that often. You have the

897
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:34,479
Speaker 5: Wolves the Wolves. That makes sense the Wolves game here.

898
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 5: So yeah, it was a great night, great game, and

899
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:37,919
Speaker 5: kudos to the people that showed up. I was thinking

900
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 5: there was going to be ten people at the barn

901
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 5: last night and I did too. It wasn't the crowd

902
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,439
Speaker 5: they wanted what we're hoping for for a top ten

903
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 5: but it was a really good crowd festive.

904
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:48,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, very fast. Did they storm the court.

905
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 5: No, but somebody tweeted me last night that they regret

906
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 5: that they did not, because you know, I didn't even

907
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 5: think about it. We should have for a top ten victory.

908
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 5: Student section was great. It was awesome.

909
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and you have and the team has

910
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,399
Speaker 2: a legitimate record too, so it doesn't feel like it's

911
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 2: this no once in a lifetime over going to storm

912
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 2: the court because we don't think they can beat anybody else.

913
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 5: So second victory over top ten team this year, I

914
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:11,359
Speaker 5: can't argue with it.

915
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 2: It was real quick here before we wrap up this hour,

916
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 2: I got to get this in. This is looks like

917
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 2: this is Jared from Saint Charles Dan and justin I'm

918
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 2: a beef farmer from Southeast Minnesota getting my ass kicked

919
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 2: by the snonami and lack of frozen temperatures creating mud

920
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 2: and health issues with our cattle. Listening to the program

921
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 2: is much appreciated to get us through the trying weather times.

922
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 3: Thank you.

923
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:39,359
Speaker 2: I can only say thank you right back, because those

924
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 2: are kinds of texts that we live for.

925
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 3: Man, that's outstanding.

926
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 2: It sounds messy, sounds like a situation that I would

927
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 2: not handle very very well. Kessler might with all his
