Speaker 3: Drumsticks, that's it.

57
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,400

61
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 4: On my phone. Now that that didn't just happen. I never.

00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 2: I never texted it. I never you know, search for

64
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: it on my phone. I didn't put it in a

65
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: Google search or anything. It had to have heard what

66
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: I said. And you can say I'm paranoid and that

67
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 2: I got a tinfoil hat on, But I'm just telling

68
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 2: you your phone listens to you. That's why Ventura said,

69
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 2: I'm not going to have a cell phone. I don't

70
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: want the government to know where I am.

71
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 4: He's not that far off.

72
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: I've seen like funny bits on TikTok before where like

73
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: husbands will go up to their wife's phone when they're

74
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: away and just start talking to ping driver like that before.

75
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 4: Christmas or before birthdays. Yes, that's genius and I bet

76
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 4: it works.

77
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 3: Well, there's.

78
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 4: Truth to that.

79
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: Well they asked me, you know, because when you do

80
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 2: a colon oscary you have to have you have to

81
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: have a driver.

82
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 4: Correct. So they said, do you have a driver, and

83
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 4: I said, yeah, G four forty ping cake.

84
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure they appreciated that humor particular time. We're always

85
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: I said the same thing. I go, it's not very

86
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,279
Speaker 1: dependable for me though. Hold on, give yourself.

87
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: A rim shot there, I mean, boy, give yourself so

88
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: you give yourself a rim shot. Right, Yes, it it

89
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 2: takes a right turn, but it doesn't stop at the

90
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: red light.

91
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 4: It just go doesn't do a right turn after shopping.

92
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: I know.

93
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 4: One of the things you like to do is support

94
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 4: local restaurants.

95
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 3: I do, Yes, we do.

96
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 4: Uh, there's one restaurant you will not be able to

97
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 4: support anymore.

98
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 2: If the original Mall America ten is about to split,

115
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 3: Just go ahead in a minute, Okay, I'll admit that.

116
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's figure I figured, well, most of.

117
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 3: The time was always have that which we would stop

118
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 3: there would be on the way to the movie theater.

119
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 3: That's you know there was when when MOI first opened up,

120
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 3: and that that fifth floor, that's what was on right,

121
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:35,080

124
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 2: I think comedy, I think. And then there was another

125
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 2: there's another restaurant, I remember which one. We well, my

126
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 2: son spent a.

127
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 3: Lot of time. There was an arcade there as well,

128
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 3: and he spent more time there than he did at Hooters.

129
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 3: He'd go in the arcade and I just and you

130
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 3: go form it Hooters and say it just you know

131
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,960

Speaker 4: I'm sure you were watching Iowa State in Texas town watch.

134
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a it's a passage of time. I mean,

135
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 3: it's just I mean, right, a passage, but it's it's

136
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 3: the mall and the not just I can't laugh about it.

137
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 3: But a lot of well established restaurants are you know.

138
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 3: I mean I can't honestly. And obviously it's a franchise

139
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 3: and been around for a long time. But uh, it's

140
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 3: astonishing really that's been there that long, because I don't

141
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 3: think that many people go up to that floor anymore

142
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 3: like it was. I think it is. I think it is.

143
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 3: I again, I had not been up there for I'm

144
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 3: not going to go to the mall that often, but uh,

145
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 3: in its heyday.

146
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 4: It was.

147
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 3: It was the movie theater was great to go to,

00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 3: corridor else right there, and you know, man, it was

151
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 3: it made for a night. We go to plan in Hollywood.

152
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 3: That's where we went a lot the kids when they

153
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 3: were young. My friend Molly would always I'd get in

159
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: when the season's over to trade Anthony Edwards to Atlanta.

160
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: It's Atlanta for him, well, because he wants to he

161
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 2: wants to who I don't know, maybe he might have

162
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 2: to do. He might have to do a three team

163
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 2: deal and get some draft books too. Okay, let me

164
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 2: he saw it again last night, didn't you.

165
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 4: I watched.

166
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 3: I watched UH for the first half and there wasn't

167
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 3: a backdoor cut.

168
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 4: He even that made an effort to try to stop.

169
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 4: Didn't care.

170
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 3: I didn't know you watched it.

171
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 4: Well, I'm just going by what I read it said.

172
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 3: It said, well if all you needed to see was

173
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 3: the first three four minutes of the game, and the

174
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 3: Timberlves had more turnovers than they did Baskets. I mean

175
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 3: it was it looked like the Washington Generals playing the

176
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 3: Globe Trotters. I mean, they were so discombobulated and everyone

177
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,239
Speaker 3: was in the bit. I am so tired of watching

178
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 3: Julius Randall. I honestly can't take you can tell one aunt.

179
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sure he had his moments defensively, the

180
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 3: whole team did, obviously, when you give up one hundred

181
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 3: fifty three.

182
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 2: Edwards was getting beat on back cuts and the Wolves

183
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 2: are turning ball over.

184
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 3: How do you get beat on the back cut over again? Well,

185
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 3: how do you get cut if you watch the entire

186
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 3: team he got. I mean Kawhi Leonard had his way

187
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 3: every single time he had the hand of the ball.

188
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 3: But they the Clippers were a much better team, and

189
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 3: the Wolves shot the ball well last than unlike the

190
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 3: Lakers game. They just the first three four minutes it

191
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 3: was over because they must have turned it over every

192
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 3: other possession, And it was like I said, are you

193
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 3: kidding me? I watched part of that and I got

194
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 3: I managed to make it to halftime. Now when I'm

195
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 3: going to bed, I you know, I realize you're gonna

196
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 3: give up that many points.

197
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 4: But how do you give up one hundred and fifty

198
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 4: was it one fifty three? How do you give up

199
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty three points in a game? I mean,

200
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 4: it's astonishing to me. I mean again, if you have

201
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 4: any professional pride at all.

202
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 2: And especially where you are, if you are serious about

203
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 2: getting a better seed, don't you put out a more

204
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 2: professional effort on the defense of this.

205
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 3: Team has got I think we're seeing cracks in the foundation. Obviously.

206
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 3: These last three games speak for themselves. Losing at home

207
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 3: to Orlando as badly as they did, and then going

208
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 3: on the road to the two LA teams and you go, okay,

209
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 3: bad streak, whatever, But there's they're getting exposed left and

210
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 3: right right now, and how fitch is going to count?

211
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 3: And now they got a team they play at Golden

212
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 3: State tomorrow night and A Curry's not there, and it's

213
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 3: not as good a team as they were once were.

214
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 3: And if they don't bounce back tomorrow night, because guess

215
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 3: what they play at Oklahoma City Sunday at noon, and

216
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 3: we know how that's going to turn out.

217
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 4: Not good.

218
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 3: And it's more importantly just looking down the road and

219
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 3: look at the competition that they potentially going to have

220
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 3: to face. And right now they're you know, claning the

221
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 3: sixth place. I mean they could, they're only like a

222
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 3: half game or game out of third, but you know,

223
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 3: you're not that far away from being in the play

224
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 3: in right now, so you know, it just it doesn't feel.

225
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 3: It feels like it's they're just off in a lot

226
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 3: of areas right now, and the personnel doesn't doesn't match,

227
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 3: doesn't match their opponents most of the time. On the court,

228
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 3: Jade McDaniel is not is locked in. Uh. Dante is

229
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 3: hot and cold, you know, obviously mostly cold shooting right now.

230
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 3: He plays hard on defense most of the time. And

231
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 3: their deficiencies are are showing up big time right now.

232
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 3: So I don't know how you correct what ails them

233
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 3: right now, other than as you say, effort starts on

234
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 3: effort on defense. That's one thing you can control. And

235
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 3: you know, it's not to suggest they're not capable of

236
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 3: of doing what they have done, but I think looking

237
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 3: at the competition in the West right now. Obviously, Okay

238
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 3: sees the team to beat. San Antonio is so good

239
00:10:54,160 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 3: with Wenby, and you got, you know, Denver, Houston, not Dallas.

240
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 3: You know, Phoenix could sneak in there, the Lakers, and

241
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 3: I'm not sure where the Wolves fit in there right now.

242
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 3: I really don't. I don't see them going on the

243
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 3: kind of run they went on last year. I've really

244
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 3: changed my mind about this.

245
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 2: If you're a Wolves fan, all you can because I

246
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 2: said this earlier, I really believe this. I know there

247
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 2: are things you can do defensively, as far as mechanics

248
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 2: and footwork and such to give yourself advantage, but I

249
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 2: really believe that ninety percent of defense is just effort.

250
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 2: Getting a guy's face, try to deny him the ball.

251
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: I'll cover them like a blanket. And because I think

252
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 2: it mostly is effort, that's the one bit of hope

253
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 2: I would have as a Wolves fan is that offensively

254
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 2: we can score points. We know that what team can't

255
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 2: in the NBA. It maybe they will be able to

256
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: just flip a switch and say it's playoff time and

257
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 2: now we're going to play grind it out defense. Because

258
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 2: we know, the NBA planed to get to the finals,

259
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 2: you know, the conference finals, like it's the NBA finals?

260
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 2: Is that another six weeks? How long does that has?

261
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: At least it's not two months. So we're gonna be

262
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 2: playing a lot of basketball. Maybe they'll they'll be able to,

263
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 2: you know, maybe maybe they'll be able to just like

264
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 2: a switch, start playing the defense.

265
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 3: And I guess you know, and the answered it last night.

266
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 3: I mean, kudos Kawhi Leonard is healthy. He's healthy right now.

267
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 3: I mean, he's as good as there is there is

268
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 3: in the NBA.

269
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 4: I mean, he was.

270
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 3: They had a hand in his face a lot last

271
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 3: night and they couldn't do a dance thing about it.

272
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 4: He was that good.

273
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 3: But there's there are other plenty of other examples where again,

274
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 3: rebounding and the turnovers were driving me crazy. Watching early

275
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 3: in the game. It looked like they've never practiced before.

276
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 2: So no, here we go, we'll take a break, we'll

Speaker 5: A long time listener and frequent contributor to the bratch

287
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 5: On Cavan text line map from Little Falls Rights. First

288
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 5: time I noticed my phone listening to me was when

289
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 5: I drove by Shooting Star Casino or Menomen and said

290
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 5: to my wife, LeAnn Rhymes is going to be there.

291
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,719
Speaker 5: I have no interest in Leanne Rymes, never listened to

292
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 5: her music on my phone, never googled or et cetera.

293
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 5: I think I just said it for something to say.

294
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 2: When we arrived home, the first pop up out of

295
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 2: my phone was for a Leanne Rohmes concert. It was

296
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 2: then and there I knew my phone was listening to me.

297
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 2: You don't believe it.

298
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: Could that also be just area related though, Like if

299
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: you're in a certain area, right if they're trying to

300
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: promote Leanne Rhymes in that area and you're driving through there.

301
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 4: Because that could be and I guess I was maybe

302
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 4: they read my mind. When I was.

303
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 2: Thinking about those drumsticks by Nestlings. But yeah, you could

304
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 2: be right in that case.

305
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 4: That's a very good point.

306
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 2: Jalen Johnson, twenty four year old a place at Atlanta Hawks.

307
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 2: He's averaging twenty three points a game, ten point four rebounds,

308
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 2: seven point nine assists, and he's shooting forty nine point

309
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: five percent from the field.

310
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 3: He'd be a nice fit with the Wolves. You're not

311
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 3: treating Anthony Edwards. Get it out of your mind.

312
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 4: Well, I know they're not. That's their mistake. I'm just saying.

313
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 4: You asked if, oh.

314
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, they have anybody. I mean that's not in the

315
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 3: same league as Anthony Edwards.

316
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 4: No, but well I'm not saying I'm not saying straight.

317
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 2: Up Okay, Well, you just asked me, does Atlanta have

318
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 2: any players? There's an example that's a quality player. That's

319
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 2: all NBA numbers, that's all NBA. Well it is those

320
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 2: have one of the top five players.

321
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 4: They do.

322
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 3: So I don't know what.

323
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 2: But he also gets beat on back door cuts and

324
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 2: said earlier in the year. Matter of fact, just four

325
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 2: three weeks ago, he said, and I'm paraphrasing, I wish

326
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 2: I would have saved this quote, but it was I

327
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 2: just have to figure out a way to want to

328
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 2: want to play defense all the time.

329
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 3: Well, have you seen jokes played defense? Sometimes? I mean

330
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 3: often in games?

331
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 4: He's saying, I know what, I'm not talking about joke,

332
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 4: I'm talking about it.

333
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 3: No, I'm just saying that the top players, Kevin Durant

334
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 3: over the years, one of the best scorers in the

335
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 3: history of the league, there are a time when Ant

336
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 3: wants to get engaged defensively. He's probably their best defensive player.

337
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 3: But there are like anybody else, there are moments, there

338
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 3: are halfs, there are quarters, whatever it might be where

339
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 3: he's not. He took it upon himself to comment about

340
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 3: it today, saying, you know, I got to do even more. Well,

341
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 3: I don't know how much more he has to do.

342
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 3: He always says that. How many times he's been saying, well,

343
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 3: I know, but I mean he does. He needs more

344
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 3: help from his teammates, is what he needs. Because right now,

345
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 3: Julius Randall is a slug out there. I'm an absolute slug,

346
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 3: and I'm sorry.

347
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 4: You're you're an Edwards defender and apologist. He's not an apologist.

348
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 3: I'm just talking about his talent. You're trying to trade

349
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 3: him to Atlanta.

350
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 2: He wants to play there, he said, so come on,

351
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 2: well he did. You don't want to be here. Look

352
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 2: who we gave up to get Gobert and worked out

353
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 2: pretty well. Then maybe it'll work out pretty well if

354
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 2: we trained him.

355
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe it will. You work on that with Tim k.

356
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 3: But it's it's it's okay, that's what sports is about.

357
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 3: You talk about stuff like that. Yeah, nothing wrong with that.

358
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: You think Kyler Murray leaves with us? Does he leave

359
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 2: without signing a contract? Or does he signed one today?

360
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 2: I think he signs one this afternoon. Okay, Uh, I'm

361
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 2: pel Saro the latest. I mean, he's the one who's

362
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 2: I think that he he He had a note that

363
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 2: Murray took his physical here at the Vikings this morning,

364
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 2: hopefully that the same doctor as Max Crosby had, and

365
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 2: AND's meeting with team officials coaches right now. They had

366
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 2: a you know, welcome Kyle Murray thing on their big

367
00:16:58,560 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 2: board where you'll.

368
00:16:59,120 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 4: Walk into tco.

369
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 3: Oh. Yeah, so it's all I mean, it's probably it's

370
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 3: all happening. And I think it's just a matter of

371
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 3: you know, it doesn't have they don't have to work

372
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 3: out a contract. I mean, it really isn't anything they

373
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 3: got Rob Razinski has to do from that standpoint, you know,

374
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 3: whatever the conversations are like about you're going to be

375
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 3: competing for the job with JJ, this we expect from you,

376
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 3: Da da da da da.

377
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 2: Do you think those conversations because everybody else and I

378
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 2: and I think you're plugged in. Most people I talked to,

379
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 2: including and not, just tend to be to think there's

380
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 2: no way he's coming here unless he's guaranteed the starting job.

381
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 2: He will be the starting quarterback or the vikings bar

382
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 2: an injury.

383
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 3: I think he will be, But I don't think the

384
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 3: word that that Koc is using, or rober Zinski or

385
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 3: anybody else is using is guaranteed. I think they're saying that.

386
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's kind of going without saying that.

387
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 3: I think in the in the perfect world with U J. J.

388
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 3: McCarthy not being able to play many games in his

389
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 3: career for a for injury reasons and then in effectiveness

390
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 3: or we're a combination of the two, that it's.

391
00:17:59,040 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 4: An open competition.

392
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 3: Well, I think I think I have but I think

393
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 3: I think I think Murray will have the edge only

394
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 3: because I think that, you know, J. J. McCarthy still

395
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 3: has a long arc to his career, and you've we've

396
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 3: all we've all talked about going back to uh A Rodge,

397
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 3: going back to Jordan Love, other quarterbacks who've kind of

398
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 3: had a you know, for every rookie that started right away,

399
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 3: there have been other quarterbacks obviously had to wait their turn,

400
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 3: you know. And I think that it wouldn't hurt McCarthy

401
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 3: to sit a little bit. I still want to see

402
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 3: him play, I absolutely do, and if you can win

403
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 3: the job, I just don't think the Vikings are guaranteeing

404
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 3: anything Kyle Murray today that you know you're going to

405
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 3: be the starting quarterback in September whatever when they open

406
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 3: up their season.

407
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 2: But if you expectation, what if he but let's let's

408
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 2: say this conversation, because we don't know the exact conversation.

409
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 2: If he says I'm either guaranteed the starting job or

410
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 2: I'm signing somewhere else, do.

411
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 4: You think they would say, Okay, you're the starter, you

412
00:18:59,160 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 4: have to leave.

413
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 3: No, Because Kyle Murray's in a perfect position that he knows,

414
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 3: matter what the situation is, whether he starts or not,

415
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 3: he's going to be a free agent after this year,

416
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,239
Speaker 3: and he's had you know, apparently he had this, you know,

417
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 3: another zoom number of zoom calls last night, maybe with

418
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 3: the Rams, a bunch of other teams to already talk

419
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 3: about twenty twenty seven. You know, when he's going to

420
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 3: be looking at another a big opportunity to cash in

421
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 3: and and and get another contract.

422
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 1: I love the uh I'm using twenty twenty six free

423
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: agency to prepare for twenty twenty seven free agency.

424
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 4: That just makes zero sense to me.

425
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 3: Well, I know what, that's the world we're living in.

426
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 3: I don't know what else to say. I mean, that's

427
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 3: the world Kyle Murray's put himself in. Yeah, exactly. Not

428
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 3: many people get that opportunity. But you know, the key

429
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 3: thing for the Vikings. Let's say he does blow up

430
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 3: and you know, leads the Vikings to a playoffs and

431
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,239
Speaker 3: a victory and whatever it might be. You know what

432
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 3: the Vikings can't do at that point is duplicate what

433
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 3: happened with Sam Darnold. I mean then they go, well,

434
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 3: you can't let this guy lead the building that already

435
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 3: that already just happened here when we signed a free

436
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 3: agent quarterback. Dude, did not have overall the resume. Kyle

437
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 3: has been sporadic Kyler I said, I'm sorry Kyler has

438
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 3: been sporadic in Arizona also not with really good defensive

439
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 3: teams and the kind of team he has. But Kyler

440
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 3: has a great opportunity to cash it and the Vikings

441
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 3: could benefit from it. So, you know, I think that's

442
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 3: why they're gonna try to save as much money and

443
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 3: leave their door open. But in terms of starting or

444
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 3: not starting, it's not affecting Kyler Murray's decision. You know,

445
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 3: he's gonna stay. He's gonna play here this year in

446
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 3: a uniform for the Vikings, and I think fans will

447
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 3: be excited about it. I like I said, I think

448
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 3: if McCarthy does earn the job, it's going to be

449
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 3: everyone's going to be looking at Kyler Murray on the sidelines, going, well,

450
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 3: one bad interception get them warmed up in the bullpen.

451
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 3: I don't know how long you can tolerate it because

452
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 3: they can't waste any more time. Uh, they have to win,

453
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 3: and they have to win now. And the a team

454
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 3: that's a lot of people feel is built to win

455
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 3: right now, do you think they're built to win?

456
00:20:59,200 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 4: Right now.

457
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 3: We'll see what happens after the draft, but I think

458
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 3: they have enough pieces that well. Listen, they almost made

459
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 3: the playoffs last year despite everything that happened to them.

460
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 3: But they were gone anywhere. But I don't think they

461
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 3: would have.

462
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 4: Well, there was a lot of teams that almost made it.

463
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I understand that, but I'm just saying that. I

464
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 3: think they're defensively, they're in good shape.

465
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 2: Lions almost made the playoffs. Well, well they did they records.

466
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 3: Understand that. Well, I was saying is yeah, I think

467
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 3: they're built to win. I think most national people feel

468
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 3: that the Vikings are built to win. I still think

469
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 3: obviously they need help, but you know, they need another

470
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 3: running back, they need a center, they lineman, a couple

471
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 3: of defensive line they'll get they'll get players in the draft,

472
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 3: they'll hopefully, but they have to contribute. They have to

473
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 3: contribute their first year.

474
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 4: It'll be interesting to see.

475
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 3: But I do think Marie signs today. I'd be surprised

476
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 3: if he doesn't. Okay, I mean, I don't know what

477
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 3: the point is stretching this out. I mean, again, they're

478
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 3: not negotiating a contract.

479
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 2: Well do you think do you think he'll be starting

480
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 2: Week one, or do you think do you have enough faith?

481
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 2: I don't know.

482
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 3: I mean I would suspect he probably would, because I

483
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 3: don't know how JJ eventually, you know, proves that he's

484
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 3: you know, not only bulked up physically, that he's figured

485
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 3: it out, but more importantly the mechanics of how he

486
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 3: has to play this game at this level.

487
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 4: He has to prove that the KOC in.

488
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 3: Particular OTAs mini camps, whatever it might be. I don't

489
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 3: think they're going to play him extensively in the preseason.

490
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 4: But I think they need to, don't they.

491
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 3: I think they might. Yeah, I mean they're not gonna

492
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 3: who else you who's your third quarterback going to be?

493
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, he's not gonna get out. Yeah, McCarthy's

494
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 3: got to play. I agree, I think he does have

495
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 3: to play. So that the odds on favor would be

496
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray to start Week one. I think there's no

497
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 3: doubt that that that that would be the case.

498
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 2: Let's take a break, one more segment to go. A

499
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 2: couple of other things going to bounce off of Mark

500
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 2: Rose and we'll do that next Common Man program and

501
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 2: the fan and what's that one called Beach Boys? Meets

502
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 2: some grunge.

503
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 4: It's called totally rad. Totally rad. Yeah, a couple.

504
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 2: Of thirteen fourteen pastime common He's tend to be Mark

505
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 2: Rose and is here as well. Golding Over men's basketball

506
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 2: team loses to Rutgers and.

507
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 3: You know, kind of shrug your shoulders. I saw the

508
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 3: second half last night and they just never really uh

509
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 3: got their act together. They were leading at halftime. I

510
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 3: think Grim mentioned after the game that every team that

511
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 3: ended up losing yesterday in the Big Ten tournament was

512
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 3: leading at half. The real there was, yeah, a big

513
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 3: deal of it. It was obviously not the best of

514
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 3: the best teams right now. But Minnesota kinda I think,

515
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 3: and I'm making excuses, it's just it's who they are

516
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 3: this year because of all the injuries and not having

517
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 3: all the talent in the world. But you know, they

518
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 3: just kind of hit the wall. They look like an

519
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,719
Speaker 3: exhausted team. You know, I don't know how much more

520
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 3: success they would have had, you know, beating UCLA today.

521
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 3: They play these games in a row and these conference tournaments,

522
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 3: which is basically, unless you are an underdog that that

523
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 3: you're on, your only way into the March Madness is

524
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 3: by winning the tournament. These teams that are top ranked

525
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 3: are just kind of playing for seedings, and you know,

526
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 3: a lot of times we always get in these disagreements

527
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 3: on Sunday selection Sunday, which is this week. You know,

528
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 3: team doesn't really you know, it doesn't matter if they

529
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 3: win the Big Ten Championship on Sunday afternoon or not.

530
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 3: They're they're going to be in the same seat as

531
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 3: they were before that. And it's you know, it's kind

532
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 3: of a money making TV event more than anything until

533
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 3: the tournament actually starts, because most people, unless you are

534
00:24:55,840 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 3: an underdog, don't remember who wins these league championships anyway.

535
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 3: But for the golfers, it's just a matter of you know,

536
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 3: regrouping hopefully like you know that that that Nico med

537
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 3: that can keep the nucleus of this team together, add

538
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 3: some pieces and actually have a bench next year to

539
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 3: rely on and you strike gold with some of you know,

540
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 3: some of these young players that you have to have

541
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 3: and that are from Minnesota or elsewhere that you have

542
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 3: to get. And you can get right back in that

543
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 3: kind of conversation. But yeah, it was not not a

544
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 3: good performance last night.

545
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 2: I don't you know, And again I don't. I don't

546
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 2: really have a lot of talented kids coming out of Minnesota.

547
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 2: I don't know where the recruiting stands. There's been any

548
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 2: commits or anything like that, but you know, so much

549
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 2: of it now really, you know, you can before was

550
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 2: just trying to get a kid to commit to that

551
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 2: school for whatever reason the program fits him.

552
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 4: You're going to be you know, one of the main pieces.

553
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 2: Now it's like, well, how much money going to get

554
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,959
Speaker 2: me to So you could be a Minnesota kid that

555
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 2: they would like to play at the University of Minnesota,

556
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 2: right right, But then if the university says, well, you know,

557
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 2: we got two hundred and fifty thousand, four and then

558
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you know, LSU or what you name,

559
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 2: any Wisconsin goes well, you know what, we got half

560
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 2: a million dollars for you, right, Well, then all of

561
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 2: a sudden, you go, well, you know, loyalty only goes

562
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 2: so far, right when it comes to money.

563
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 4: So that's at.

564
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,239
Speaker 3: Nineteen twenty years old, I'm going to get that kind

565
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 3: of a payday. Yeah, that's pretty hard to turn it down.

566
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I don't know where that stands with that

567
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 4: with them.

568
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think anybody does right now because they're

569
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 3: not in that period of time.

570
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true, that's true.

571
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 2: But you know, I don't know where they go with

572
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 2: as far as you know, how much money they're going

573
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 2: they will be able to raise, because we've talked about

574
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 2: that before that you know, some of these schools seem

575
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 2: to almost have unlimited nil money. You know, they have

576
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 2: all sorts of you know, they got the Boosters, Yeah,

577
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 2: the Cuban care Oh yeah, and you got to Phil

578
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 2: Knight up up in Oregon. So you know, until you

579
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 2: get one of those guys, it's going to be probably

580
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 2: more difficult to do.

581
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 3: I don't know, Well in Oregon obviously doesn't have the

582
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 3: success in basketball they do in football, but still it's

583
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 3: you know, they have pretty deep pockets that help their

584
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 3: football team every single year.

585
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 2: And we talked about this with Tenn Toby too. The

586
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 2: Golpher men's hockey team bounced done. You know, yeah, it's

587
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 2: not a good good time. I mean, it seems like

588
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 2: there's obviously a great deal of apathy and it's not

589
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 2: not helping matters when hockey has been such a big

590
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 2: part of the conversation. Uh, you know, the Olympics, the

591
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 2: way the while they're going the women hockey team, uh,

592
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 2: the women professional hockey team, and the Golfers were so

593
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 2: used to having them in you know that conversation. Uh,

594
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 2: it's not getting to the Frozen Four, certainly, competing at

595
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 2: that highest level, and it's been you know, you know,

596
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 2: decades of success that they've had here. I'm not always

597
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 2: in it's the ending up in a championship or even

598
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 2: a Frozen Four appearance, but uh, it's it's kind of

599
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 2: rock bottom right now. I don't know what Moscow is

600
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,239
Speaker 2: going to do. Uh, you know, I don't know what

601
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 2: the you know, maybe Tenna has a better understanding of

602
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 2: where they are roster wise, and but from Minnesota, Uh,

603
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 2: to have this kind of a season is really shocking,

604
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,239
Speaker 2: I know, other word to use. I'm sure it's been

605
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 2: a process and built up over a period of time,

606
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 2: but it's not something that's accepted by our hockey community,

607
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 2: that's for sure, or the university. To have a you know,

608
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,719
Speaker 2: a prideful hockey program like the Golfers have had all

609
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 2: these years, and to finish up like they did, it's

610
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 2: not a good look. When did the Twins first game

611
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 2: is a couple of weeks.

612
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 4: From now, is it? I mean getting there?

613
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just reading that little item that our guy

614
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 3: Joe Ryan's replacing Clayton Kershaw team USA's WBC roster after

615
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 3: the quarterfinal, and Ryan, believe it or not, would be

616
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 3: lined up the pitching the championship game if the USA

617
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 3: gets there. But Kershaw's out Joe Ryan apparently in So yeah,

618
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 3: they've got a couple of weeks ago here and they

619
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 3: open up on the road. But we're not that far away.

620
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 2: I mean, let's pretend Mark Rowse and then you're with

621
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Twins pr department.

622
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 4: No body one of the tough job right, very tough jobs.

623
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 4: What do you do? I mean, I mean they're already now.

624
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 4: Like I think I saw.

625
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 2: I think it might have been in It was either

626
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 2: the athletic or one of the fish raps. It was

627
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 2: a story about how they're gonna do.

628
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 3: Like.

629
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 2: I don't you know, there could be like two dollars

630
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 2: beer nights for like prior to win the game starts

631
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 2: or and only Monday through there. They have all these

632
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 2: deals they're going to start doing to try to attract

633
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 2: people there. When I think the best way to get

634
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 2: fans in the stands is have a nobody have a

635
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 2: winning product. There's more people there, there's a bigger buzz.

636
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 2: It seems like the play you know, it's kind of

637
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 2: the place to me. I guess they're kind of banking on.

638
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 2: It's still you hear this all the time, you know,

639
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 2: I mean, you read a positive thing about the Twins.

640
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 2: It is still one of the best ballparks in baseball

641
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 2: after a while, So what what d you know?

642
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 4: All right, Yeah, well you got a great ballpark. It's fun.

643
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 2: But what would you do if you were trying to

644
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 2: spend I mean, you can't do with the Remember when

645
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 2: the Twins that I like get to know them, Yeah,

646
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 2: because they because they had they had there was just

647
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 2: young players that nobody knew kind of.

648
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 4: Like sort of kind of what they're doing. I mean,

649
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 4: some of these.

650
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 3: Guys, there's only so many bobblehead days. You can hear it, right, Yeah,

651
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 3: And that's the problem. I just got media invite from

652
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 3: March thirty. First, what's new at target Field and Taste

653
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 3: of the Twins. Well, here again we're talking food. They're

654
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 3: going to have representatives of the Twins and their partners

655
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:48,719
Speaker 3: and executive chefs of the teams and representatives from select

656
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 3: target food actually target field food vendors and beverages. So

657
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 3: I mean, this is kind of what they're dealing with

658
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 3: right now. I've gotten a couple of different I can't

659
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 3: find it right at the moment, but salespeople kind of

660
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 3: they we got these ten game packages, et cetera, et cetera.

661
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 3: I'm sure a lot of people are getting them. Sure,

662
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 3: it's not easy to sell it, and it's it's imperative

663
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 3: to the twins. Whatever you say, whatever you think, because again,

664
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 3: when they start playing home games in early April, I mean,

665
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 3: the Wild is still in particular the Wild and the Wolves,

666
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 3: but the Wild in particular will not have even started

667
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 3: their postseason yet. But I mean, the Wild do want

668
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 3: to run, and you got that going on. Obviously, you

669
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 3: might have a big snowfall this weekend, but you know,

670
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 3: the weather will get nicer, and you don't have a

671
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,959
Speaker 3: way of getting the fans into the stands early on.

672
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 3: It's going to be tough to get them there in

673
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 3: the summertime. So obviously that's getting off some good start

674
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 3: is kind of important. But I don't know how you

675
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 3: sell it. I mean, I think you know the fans,

676
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 3: you know a few of the players, and I just

677
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 3: mentioned Joe Ryan's name. Obviously Lopez is out for the

678
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 3: whole year. And unless you have a young player or

679
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 3: two that just all of a sudden emerges, and to

680
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 3: talk of baseball and talk about the league, man, it's tough.

681
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 3: And you can talk about one hundred and sixty two

682
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 3: game schedule and and going out there to a track

683
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,719
Speaker 3: and you're always gonna have You're gonna have your hardcore

684
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 3: baseball fans, but getting the casuals to go out there

685
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 3: not going to be easy. Well that's why, Yeah, it's

686
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 3: not going to be easy. I feel for them. That's

687
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 3: why they made your own bed though.

688
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 2: When Royce Lewis first had came up and he had

689
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 2: that really maybe incredible is too strong of a ward,

690
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 2: but he had a great start to a screen. Why

691
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 2: do you had like five grand slams in two games

692
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 2: and you know that brought some eccpments. You go, hey,

693
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 2: maybe we got a guy we can build around. You're

694
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 2: one of those guys that's a marquee player. And then

695
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 2: well the what is it the bloom is off that

696
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 2: rose or what do you say? Because he's he's he struggled,

697
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 2: and so yeah, unless you unless you have some young phenom, right,

698
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 2: because the rest of your team as a whole just doesn't.

699
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 2: I mean Tom Pohlad, who was now in charge of

700
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 2: the club, he seemed to be he seemed to be

701
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 2: I mean he was almost annoyed and it seemed like

702
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 2: angry that the experts were, you know, the the you know,

703
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 2: Vegas was going over under you know, seventy three games or.

704
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 4: Whatever it was, and he just thought that was preposterous.

705
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 2: And I don't know, I'd say I'd be closer to

706
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 2: that than eighty three, you know.

707
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you know, Derek Shelton's got it. You know,

708
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 3: he's he's in a tough situation, but the expectations are

709
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 3: so low that it doesn't I mean, we know that

710
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 3: Roco lost his job and now Derek, who's good friends

711
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 3: with Rocko Baldelli, took over. And he's, you know, coming

712
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 3: from Pittsburgh and he's been here before, and I think

713
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 3: he's got the personality to kind of, you know, be

714
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 3: a media guy and uh it's sharp enough to connect

715
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 3: with the fans, but you know, his hands are tied.

716
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 3: I mean it's there are such little expectation. I mean,

717
00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 3: I think the Twins ownership. They have the minority ownershi

718
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 3: ship who jumped in there. Everybody's looking. I mean we

719
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 3: talked about, you know, the Vikings and Kyler Murray looking

720
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 3: at next year already. Well, the Twins are definitely looking

721
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 3: at the following year from a from a sales standpoint,

722
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 3: from a baseball salary cap situation, and they're not going

723
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 3: to spend any extra money this year. You know, we

724
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,919
Speaker 3: know that already. And it's you know, Derek Shelton's hands

725
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 3: are tired. He's just gonna have to kind of motivate

726
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 3: these young kids to play the best they can possibly play.

727
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 3: And sometimes that you know, that's okay if you give

728
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 3: you a good product and it looks like you're talking

729
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 3: with you know, the timberl is not playing on defense,

730
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 3: and you know there's a lot of validity to that

731
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 3: if you go on, if I go out to the

732
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 3: ballpark and watch the Twins play, you know, the Red

733
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 3: Sox or something, and you know you're entertained for a

734
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 3: good game. Of course you'd like to see them win,

735
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 3: but you know, but if those losses start piling up,

736
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 3: you know, this isn't Colorado, this isn't the Rockies. They

737
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 3: they draw fans no matter what, their team sucks and

738
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 3: their ownership sucks. But you know, it's just the Twin

739
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 3: Cities is a little more unique that way. They don't

740
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 3: They're not going to show up in droves out there

741
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 3: because of the ballpark or because they want to have

742
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 3: a couple of beers for two dollars that night. Right,

743
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:10,720
Speaker 3: it's not going to happen.

744
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,879
Speaker 2: Well, you talk about playing young players and giving them

745
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:20,240
Speaker 2: some exposure and maybe building you know, there's some familiarity,

746
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 2: but the team continues as we're looking at the cuts,

747
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 2: and again, you know you can just do you put

748
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 2: a young guy in just because he's a young guy

749
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 2: and you got nothing else?

750
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 4: Or do you think he's not ready?

751
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 2: But I you know, every day, it seems like every

752
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 2: other day there's a story that says Twins make two

753
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,280
Speaker 2: more cuts to spring roster, including prospect Kaylin.

754
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 3: That's what I was just talking about the other day. Yeah, Culpeper.

755
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,720
Speaker 2: Culpeper consents the top on our prospect at three sixteen

756
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 2: in the big league camp, which is real nice. He's

757
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 2: they're sending them down. He's not going to be right

758
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 2: with the big club. Then you page down a couple

759
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 2: of more days let me get the next one, because

760
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 2: there were there have been several in which the Twins

761
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 2: keep as sending players down.

762
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 4: Where is the next one? There was one Twins.

763
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 2: Cut nine players from camp, including outfielder Emmanuel Rodriguez, and

764
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 2: Rodriguez is also considered a future Twins outfit. That was

765
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 2: when I ran out to start on they had that

766
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 2: the three outfielders that.

767
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 4: Were all going to be that were going to be

768
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 4: in the outfield.

769
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 2: Maybe someday they'll all be together in Saint Paul, maybe

770
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 2: someday with the Twins.

771
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 4: Here's what it says. Rodriguez, a highly rated Twins.

772
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 2: Prospect, hit four twenty one through nineteen at bats in

773
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 2: a spring training game. He has been sent down, as

774
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 2: is Gabriel Gonzalez. Gonzalez one of those other guys that

775
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 2: are supposed to be with him now. Gonzalez the spring

776
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 2: hasn't been as well. But you wonder I get it

777
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 2: too that in spring training, a lot of your depth

778
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 2: split squad games. Maybe they're they're tearing the cover off

779
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 2: the ball against some guys that might not get past

780
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 2: double A for whatever team they're playing. But when you

781
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,919
Speaker 2: have players that are playing at that level, I don't

782
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 2: know why they're not getting.

783
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 3: Up with the big club right anyway, And listen, you

784
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 3: bring up a good point, because I think the team

785
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 3: that will take advantage of this are the Saint Paul

786
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 3: Saints because they're gonna have all those guys playing on

787
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 3: that team and they can it used to be they would,

788
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 3: you know, with Mike beckin charge. You know the advertise

789
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 3: the pig, that advertise all the gimmicks.

790
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 4: That they still do.

791
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 2: Have you seen the TV commercial? I have the one

792
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 2: that the current one this year? I think I have

793
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 2: this one for this year. Every highlight has nothing to

794
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 2: do with base which is they've always kind of sold

795
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 2: it that way. But everything is they're showing the uh,

796
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 2: the sumo wrestler guys. They're showing the pig all their

797
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 2: little contests they do, which is what brings a lot

798
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 2: of people to Usay, I'm not even saying they shouldn't

799
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 2: promote that, but that's what that's about. But you're right,

800
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 2: they're gonna they might have a better team in Saint Paul, Minnesota, certainly,

801
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 2: and for people who like to watch young players and saying, oh,

802
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 2: this kid's gonna end up in the majors in the

803
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 2: year or less than a year, and it's a it's affordable,

804
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 2: it's a great venue.

805
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 3: Uh you know, we know about I've talked a lot

806
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 3: about lower Town. It could be about it all the time,

807
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 3: but it is, it's it's now they have the added

808
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 3: advantage of not just having a bunch of guys that

809
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 3: are that are you know, playing playing baseball because they're

810
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 3: just kind of playing the string out there. They're playing

811
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 3: for their major league careers, and now fans get a

812
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 3: chance to do that and have even a bigger blast

813
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 3: at the ballpark. So Saint Paul should be able to

814
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:17,720
Speaker 3: take full advantage of that this summer.

815
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 2: They I also think I saw and maybe maybe I'm

816
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 2: wrong here, maybe maybe uh Kendri Rojas is going to

817
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 2: be with the big club, but he came over the

818
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 2: Louis Arlan's right and there was a lot of hype

819
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 2: about him. I thought I saw where he's also going

820
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 2: to be starting in Saint Paul rather than a Pere.

821
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 2: So it's again guys that you know, you hope are

822
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 2: the future of the team game more season in the

823
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 2: same Paul look. I went to a Saints game for

824
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 2: the first time ever last summer with my my wife

825
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 2: and Uh, just absolutely. I and my my wife ducing

826
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 2: his girlfriend, and we just absolutely loved it.

827
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 4: I thought it was a great time. It is a

828
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 4: good time.

829
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 3: They know how to they know how to do baseball

830
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 3: right and and have fun and and sell the game

831
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,760
Speaker 3: the right way and have that that kind of intimate

832
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 3: feet about the ballpark that they did such a great

833
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 3: job putting that thing together after playing at Midway all

834
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 3: those years and kind of a dumpy thing, but it

835
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 3: worked out with the way they developed that team. Now

836
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 3: they get the ballpark and they get the players that

837
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 3: are fun to watch at that at that level.

838
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 2: This text message says, don't propose playing the young guys

839
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 2: to Gleam, and I asked him why did they keep

840
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 2: Larnick and Walner Row when this is a perfect season

841
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 2: on their young prospects learned the majors, no pressure.

842
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 4: He responded with a snarky.

843
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 2: Comment saying that that's not how you bring a prospect

844
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 2: up and expect them to succeed.

845
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 4: And I get that.

846
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 2: You know they think guys will be overwhelmed by big

847
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,479
Speaker 2: league pitching. You know that that can happen. I guess

848
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 2: it can happen. I don't know. I think my guess

849
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 2: is it's what I It's like I used to talk about,

850
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 2: like for instance, in like in high school basketball. You know,

851
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 2: I watch a lot of high school basketball. I think

852
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 2: the best coaches are the ones that find a way

853
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 2: to get the most out of each kid and do

854
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 2: it in a way in which I'm not saying they

855
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 2: treat the kids differently, but they kind of coach them differently.

856
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 2: In other words, some kids need tough love. Other kids

857
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 2: are really they're very mature. They just need to be

858
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 2: talked to like an adult and explained when they make

859
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 2: a mistake. They don't need to be chewed out kicking

860
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 2: the butt. They just need to be hey, you made

861
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 2: a mistake. Then you know what you did there, and

862
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 2: your kid looks I know what I did there, and

863
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:24,959
Speaker 2: there's more encouragement there.

864
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 4: And I think even when you get to the.

865
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 3: Pro level, there are.

866
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 2: Probably some of these prospects that even though they're young,

867
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 2: they might be ready for the big leagues and have

868
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 2: no fear. You know, they're not going to get discouraged

869
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,839
Speaker 2: by playing in the big leagues. As a matter of fact,

870
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 2: they they will appreciate the opportunity getting the big leagues.

871
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 4: They'll be there to learn.

872
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 2: You you can learn a lot playing in the big leagues.

873
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 2: I think playing with other big league players, like if

874
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,240
Speaker 2: you got those guys playing with Byron Bucks, then every.

875
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 4: Day you know, so you know, again, I think it.

876
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 2: I think it's more of an individual thing with players

877
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,359
Speaker 2: across have to be treated the same way. They all

878
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 2: have to come up slowly, not necessarily, you know.

879
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 3: And we've seen examples in other teams that they they've

880
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 3: gone against that the grain and that that sort of thinking.

881
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 2: And I and I know the examples I would give

882
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 2: our players that ended up in Hall of Famers. But

883
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 2: there were some players, well you never spend a day

884
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 2: in the miners.

885
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 4: There have been there have been.

886
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 2: Did Joe Maherber play in the miners, Yeah he did,

887
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 2: he did?

888
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 4: Yeah. Did al Caline ever playing the miners?

889
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 3: Nod Winfield did.

890
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 4: He never played them. There are players that never played.

891
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 4: I didn't think Joe did either it Maybe he did.

892
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,439
Speaker 3: I think he did, but some you would know better.

893
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 2: I he's your son, you know, but you know, I

894
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 2: I thought he came straight up. But yeah, some guys

895
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 2: just don't don't play in the miners. So you know, now,

896
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 2: this one says you have to remember if they bring

897
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 2: them up after April, they gained an extra year of

898
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 2: control over them. And that is what the Twins have

899
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 2: done forever they have they have they have done where

900
00:41:55,680 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 2: we want the arbitration, eligibility and all the contractual.

901
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 4: All the you know, the contractual ins and outs.

902
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 2: The business part of the game of the game always

903
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 2: dictates a lot about it, especially with the Twins, but.

904
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 4: It kind of dictates when you bring a guy up

905
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 4: and when you don't.

906
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 3: So I'm just looking up.

907
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 4: Maybe my way to the top Marple went straight to

908
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 4: the matrix, I thought, but I guess probably not.

909
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 2: This one says if you want to eat food, I'll

910
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 2: go to a good restaurant, not concession stands. I want

911
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 2: to see baseball, go to target field. When the Twins

912
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 2: decide to invest in the main product, and that makes

913
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 2: some sense. I mean, you like to have decent food

914
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,760
Speaker 2: when you go to you know, different foods. But most

915
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 2: people you go to the movie because you want to

916
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 2: see the movie. If the popcorn is good, that's a bonus.

917
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 2: If you go to a baseball game, you want the

918
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 2: product to be good. If the concessions are good, that's

919
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 2: a bonus. You want, you want the product you're actually paint.

920
00:42:58,440 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 3: Well, of course, but I think you go to the rest,

921
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 3: but the baseball more than any other sport because you

922
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 3: have time leisurely walk around. And that's why a lot

923
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 3: of teams promote the new foods that they have. But

924
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 3: I'm still you know, getting a ballpark hot dog, you know,

925
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 3: and whatever you know. To me, it's still part of

926
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 3: the part of the whole experience they have. My daughter

927
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 3: and I go to I don't know how many games

928
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 3: a year, three four games a year, and you know,
