00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: He is by some of the duties as he's he's

19
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 2: involved with.

20
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 1: Amazing, Yeah, it's amazing how much he gives. How does

21
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: he live with himself? I wonder sometimes it's just got

22
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: to be there's so much giving there. You wonder at

23
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: some point whether he is in awe of himself, and

24
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: I think I don't wonder that he answer is he

25
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 1: probably is.

26
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 2: He is in awe of himself.

27
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: Brad Shaw and Brian Kafan text line has been rebooted

28
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: six four six six four six eight six. Oh, there's

29
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. He does not look as it doesn't look

30
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:39,199
Speaker 1: too ponderous.

31
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: Does he know? He looks pretty good? I think I

32
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 2: don't think he looks like he's forty four?

33
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 3: How old?

34
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 2: I grew up on football.

35
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: In the sixties, as you know, and there was a

36
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: place kicker named George Blanda who also every once in

37
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: a while, due to either injury or just we got

38
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: to get a spark going, would be inserted into the

39
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders starting lineup as a quarterback right not necessarily start,

40
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: but would get in the game later. How old at

41
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: his oldest was George Blanda when he played the quarterback position?

42
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: He was it appears to be forty eight years old,

43
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: twenty six season career, the only non kicker even though

44
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: he was a kicker to play in four different decades.

45
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: That's impressive, pretty good run.

46
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: Does that indicate that he played a game at quarterback

47
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: at forty eight that's the question. That's what I'll have

48
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: to do a little bit deeper of a dive. He

49
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: I thought, in my mind's eye was the oldest to

50
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: ever play the position in the National Football League?

51
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: Brady? How old was Brady when he wrapped it up?

52
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 2: Forty four? I think he was a little older, but

53
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 2: maybe not Brady was older than forty five.

54
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: I thought he was maybe, But okay, look, well we'll

55
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: find out, but we will get to the astronami naming.

56
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: Really the opening to the show is related to a

57
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: certain extent to the weather, the snow event.

58
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: He retired at forty five, which was his stated goal at.

59
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: One forty five, okay, forty five in uh, so he

60
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: won the ball at forty four maybe that would be

61
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: probably right, and then forty five because he didn't win

62
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: it his last year, right, I believe.

63
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 2: So they made the playoffs a year, right, Yeah.

64
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: George, you can look up the old video of the

65
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: George blanda placekicker and quarterback who I think probably could

66
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: have played till he was fifty. But and there may

67
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: be something, you know, there may be this new generation,

68
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: there may be a quarterback or two that that ends

69
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: up staying that one maybe JJ McCarthy, that's true, will

70
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: end up being the first fifty year old quarterback in

71
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: the National Football League. And you know one thing, he'll

72
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: be good at progressions. Hold on, Oh sorry, pure progression,

73
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: pure progressions, pure progression portant. Anybody can be good at progressions. Yeah,

74
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: it's pure, pure progressions, progressions. The Jackals are just allows

75
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: by all of it. It's unbelievable. These guys the most

76
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: astounding thing I've ever seen and heard of. And everybody's

77
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: getting in on. And by the way, not everybody agrees,

78
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: including your guy who is the former Rams quarterback who

79
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: used to kill us, Kurt Warner. Kurt Warner is not

80
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: He ain't all in. No, he's not on this whole philosophy.

81
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: So maybe we'll get into that a little bit later

82
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: in the program. Good luck to you, by the way,

83
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: about five pot fifteen, because I'll be gone. Oh you'll

84
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: be gone.

85
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: That's right.

86
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: But you've hurt Kessler's feelings. We've heard Kessler's feelings. You

87
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: just texted both of us well, I mean we said

88
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: he was in awe of himself. I'm sure he didn't

89
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: like that. Wow, But so good luck to you.

90
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: Not my point, Okay, he's not hurt at all.

91
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: He's pretending to be her. He can't be hurt. There's

92
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: got to be a ven diagram. I'm trying to figure

93
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: out what's the best way to say this, the most

94
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: self absorbed slash insincere slash.

95
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 2: Well, now you're going to get another text from him.

96
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: But there's got to be a vent diagram of self absorbed, insincere,

97
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: and thin skinned. And if you're all of those things,

98
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: the middle of the vent diagram just says TV people.

99
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: Would that be the holy trinity? Self absorbed, Yeah, would

100
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: be thin skinned, and then I can't even remember. Insincere, insincere, Yeah,

101
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: those are those are three big ones. Like any you

102
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: go to work day Capital, let careers dot Com and

103
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: you say I want to be a TV Those are

104
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: job requirements. Are we as good as we think we

105
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: are when it comes to cleaning up the slop, cleaning

106
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: up after the snow nami, clearing the roads, salting the roads,

107
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: dealing with traffic snarls best we can because we think

108
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: we've got the greatest experience with it, we've got the

109
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: greatest equipment with it. To the point where we're gonna

110
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: again name our snowplows again this year.

111
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 2: That contest just began.

112
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: It sure did close serget to Lori Fish has already

113
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: put a bunch of suggestions in or are we slipping

114
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: or are we prisoner to the fact that when Mother

115
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: Nature really wants to be shall we say difficult, especially

116
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: in terms of timing when the snow hits that there's

117
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,239
Speaker 1: always so much that even a community that prides itself

118
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: on always being able to handle significant snow events would

119
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: like to think of it, they think they are, So

120
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: let me know what you think about that, Because we

121
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: got a lot of people who drive for a living,

122
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: sure probably are the ones who are best qualified to

123
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: answer the question, especially if you've done it for a

124
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: long time. Because I know we flex on this and

125
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: we mock and ridicule, you know, southern towns that basically

126
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: become paralyzed when there's a half an inch of snow

127
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: and we chuck all about it. I remember being in

128
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: Dallas for that Super Bowl right as Steelers they're in,

129
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: and I have any idea what to do, and we're

130
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: we're so good at it.

131
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 2: We've got it down to an.

132
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: Utter science, and we can turn a significant snow event

133
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: into almost immediate travel without all that much difficulty.

134
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 2: Are we that good?

135
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: I'm not here believe it or not to judge on

136
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: this one. I'm not here to conclude. I'm asking the question.

137
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: I have my own suspicions, but I don't want to

138
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: what's the word for that, taint the jury, prejudice the jury.

139
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: I want individuals to come at it, at it with,

140
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:35,679
Speaker 1: you know, with an open mind on that particular issue,

141
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: because we're in a stretch where we're having just enough

142
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: significant snow that there are snarls, there are problems, there

143
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: are difficulties. I mean, there's maybe an answerary question related

144
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: to this too, which is and we I think we've

145
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: talked about this part of it before.

146
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: Have we jumped the sh shark? He used that overused.

147
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,679
Speaker 1: Expression when it comes to how quickly we shut stuff down.

148
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: We close things we and even if they're not officially

149
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 2: closed down.

150
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: What's the percent has the percentage of Once upon a time,

151
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to go out on a limb, and this

152
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: is not scientific. I'm going to say when I got

153
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: here late actually approaching winter nineteen eighty six, that the

154
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: percentage of Minnesotans who lived in the metropolitan area who

155
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: would ever reach a point and let's say a four

156
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: or five inch snowfall that they said, I'm defeated. I'm

157
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. I'm not leaving the house or apartment

158
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: or count of whatever it is. I'm not moving. And

159
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: if i've if my kids got someplace to go, she's

160
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: he or she's going to miss it. I'm not taking them. Sorry,

161
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do that. I'm gonna say. And

162
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: what I got here, The percentage of adults who took

163
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: that approach in again, not a blizzard, but a four

164
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: or five inch snowfall was about five to ten percent.

165
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,719
Speaker 1: I now believe over the forty or almost forty years

166
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: I've been here, I think the percentage is close to

167
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: fifty percent.

168
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 2: Now, does that mean we're softer? We can have that argument.

169
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: Does that mean we're safer, We're more cautious where we're

170
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: not trying to prove anything or tough Minnesotans. But I

171
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: believe is that does it do those percentages? Is fifty

172
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: percent so on high?

173
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 3: To you?

174
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: No, it doesn't, because I do think we have a

175
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: quicker trigger finger tim Cheetah ejection, Yeah, no question when

176
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: when it comes to things getting canceled for sure. And

177
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: now it's preemptively canceled, right because we've all got these

178
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: radars and dopplers and we listen to the projections, and

179
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: then you say, by the way, Thursday is not looking good.

180
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: We're going to bang out a couple of your activities

181
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: and just get ahead of it. I don't ever remember

182
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: that happening. You're back in the day, no preemptively canceling

183
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: it a day or two in advance, or even in

184
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: the morning. Hey, it's not looking good. We're not doing it.

185
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: Do you know what part of the reason for that is?

186
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 1: In my opinion is that there was not the same

187
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: feeling that organizations feel pressured by today that I agree,

188
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: what if we don't and something one bad thing happens,

189
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: the second guessers are going to destroy us.

190
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 2: I agree with that.

191
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: So let's just cut out the tension. We're shutting it down.

192
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: And I think back in that day forty years ago,

193
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: there wouldn't be that same inclination to say, how dare

194
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: you not save me from myself by shutting everything down.

195
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: The worst part about the shutdown stuff now is when

196
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: you don't hear that it's shut down until you're already there, no, yeah,

197
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: or you're already like happy matter yes, And then you

198
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: get the call or the text and say, hey, we

199
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 1: just got the group me message. Sports engine just updated

200
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: and you're already there. We can't shut the snow off

201
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: the rink fast enough, so hockey is going to be canceled,

202
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: all right? The uh, there's an overwhelming number of texts

203
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 1: that are coming in, so let's stay on schedule. We'll

204
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: come back and we will read from many of them.

205
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: We'll keep this going today. We will name Thenami today.

206
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: Bottom of the hour, Luigi on your favorite hockey team,

207
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: Mike in Fergus falls, Oh, no doubt, I totally agree.

208
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: You guys are softer now that seems to be a shot.

209
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, those of us the soft where the yeah?

210
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: I got you exactly right, Somesami submissions are coming in.

211
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. We will get to it eventually. Hockey

212
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: never cancels for anything. For my son's squirt tournament in Fargo,

213
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: a far hour drive ended being ended up being six

214
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: and a half hour. A six and a half hour

215
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: drive in a blizzard, nothing was canceled. Hockey very rarely

216
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: does get canceled. I can confirm that Amazon driver here

217
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: North Metro. My two cents. I need to see more

218
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: people promptly clean up their driveways and walkways. Please for

219
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: our sake, folks, tend to your driveways quickly before it compacts. Yeah,

220
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 1: and ice is over it point, it makes sense. And

221
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: some people maybe can't get out and around as easy

222
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: as others.

223
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 2: That could be part of it. But yeah, I could

224
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 2: see where that could be a difficulty. Remote work is

225
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 2: so much more prevalent now.

226
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: Less people risking getting into office on snow day is

227
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: because they don't want to miss a day of work.

228
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 2: Everyone is just okay working from home. Now, that's a

229
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 2: great point too, that's part of it.

230
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, people are used to Yeah, I just I'm working

231
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: from anyway. What the hell's the difference? Dan, I actually

232
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: was this is from mo out of Wrigleyville in Ville,

233
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 1: Greater Chicago area. I was actually praising Minnesota when it

234
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: comes to plying the streets and how much I missed

235
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: the effort of snow emergency after a big storm. Chicago

236
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: got a foot of snow a couple weeks ago, and

237
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: since I've gotten several more rounds of snow, I'm yet

238
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: to see a snowplow and neighborhood streets are a mess.

239
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: They do a better job of cleaning streets in the

240
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: summer than winter. Well, if you go deep enough into

241
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: Chicago political history, one of their the great Chicago blizzards,

242
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 1: cost the incumbent mayor his job. I want to say

243
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: it was Mike Belandik and a woman named Jane Byrne

244
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 1: challenged him, and basically that was a big part of

245
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: her plank was how bad a job the city had

246
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: done handling the blizzard, the snowstorm, the blizzard of nineteen

247
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: seventy nine. Is that the one cost Michael bland Blandic, Yeah,

248
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: that's okay, that was it, Chicago Magazine dot com. A

249
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: perfect storm of weather clout and pr doomed the incumbent

250
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: in his primary battle against Jane Byrne.

251
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 2: Good memory.

252
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: I actually think I also got I think I was

253
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: visiting my parents in Elk Grove and I think I

254
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: got caught up in it for a day or two

255
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: as well. People are always looking for a reason to

256
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: stay home on their phones and not work. That's a

257
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: doink from Highland Park. Do you think that's his real

258
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: name or is that a nickname? Do you think doint

259
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: like Ragoose. I bet it's I'm going to go back

260
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: to back. It's his real name. I am always stunned.

261
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: This shows you how conditioned I am to the new world.

262
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: When there is a snowstorm like today or yesterday, I'm

263
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: always stunned when I see more than like four people

264
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: in here, like I actually probably get them. He got credition,

265
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: then they deserve, you know, yesterday. That could be in

266
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: the summer. Well that's true. Yeah, but people are bailing out,

267
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: you know, at one point two o'clock yesterday. So I'm

268
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: always a little surprised when I see more than a

269
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: half a dozen people in the office on a snow

270
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: day like this. Seven to sixty three, guy, min Dot

271
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: is mighty good. I won't throw the hard working folks

272
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: in my municipality under the bus, but as a group,

273
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: they're not perfect. I generally think we do a very

274
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: nice job clearing major roads and highways. That said, timing

275
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: definitely matters. It took nearly two and a half hours

276
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: to get from why Zetta to Woodbury yesterday.

277
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 2: That's from two to one four.

278
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 3: Guy.

279
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: That's a Dallas area code, is it not two on four?

280
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: I think I had that area code at one point.

281
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: We don't check two to one four it is Dallas.

282
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: I thought.

283
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: I think we are softer now than the days when

284
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: most of us drove rear wheel drive cars. It's a

285
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: good callback. I love the grum gal higher on my percentage.

286
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: Have you been to a grocery I am old a

287
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: day before it predicted two to four inch snowfall.

288
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: It's unreal. We have become snowflakes.

289
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: Wow, Austin in Apple Valley. As someone who grew up

290
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: in the Chicago area, we do a pretty good job.

291
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: Main roads and highways are solid. Once plow workers get

292
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: in mid season four maybe they do. Maybe it takes

293
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: them time to get in mid season form.

294
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 2: They need a preseason.

295
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: Only takes one or two snowfalls to get them back

296
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: in the groove. Dan, I'm a twenty plus year mailman.

297
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: If we can get around in thirty six year old

298
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: rear wheel drive trucks with bald tires, I really don't

299
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: think anyone has anything to complain about. A lot of

300
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: this is just bad driving. Well, yeah, we have talked

301
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: about that before. My ongoing unofficial, non analytic survey of

302
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: the number of people who can't seem to remember that

303
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: they have their bright lights on continues. I've now become

304
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: almost obsessed with it because since I made a bigger

305
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: issue of it on the radio, I'm paying even closer

306
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: attention to it. And I would say, on average, now

307
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: it's one out of every five drivers I come across

308
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: at night, and I don't get and because a couple

309
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: of people say, well, no, no, it's just those those

310
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: new lights like brights, and I'm saying, no, these are

311
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: particular cars where there it's the twin lights, and both

312
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: of them are only supposed to come on. That's what

313
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: I'm about. The ones underneath they have the twin lights.

314
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: Only one I'm supposed to come on for brightness? Shall

315
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: we say so? I'm I'm still confounded why this has

316
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: become so difficult for people. Maybe we close things down

317
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: sooner because of snow. Now that's easy to communicate via

318
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: text and social media. Old days, you just kept things

319
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: open because you really couldn't tell anybody what was going

320
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: on in an effective manner. And in an effective manner,

321
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: there's probably some truth to that. Imagine some of it

322
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: if we had texting. When John Wooden was waiting to

323
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 1: hear from the University of Man soda. Yeah, even though

324
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: I know Minnesota, that never happened. You don't need to

325
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: email us. Not only do we puff chests out about

326
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: snow removal, but we then play in it once we've

327
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: moved it out of our way.

328
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 2: That's true.

329
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: MINDAD does a great job of clearing and salting freeways.

330
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: Rights Chris bad driving in cars with improper tires cause

331
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: the issues. Saint Paul is worse at plying roads than Salpollo,

332
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: Brazil would be.

333
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 2: That's from Ventura. No, not really, but could be. I Dan,

334
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 2: I can't.

335
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 1: Tell if we're better or worse at snow remove because

336
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 1: I live in Saint Paul and the road suck and

337
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 1: have sucked for almost all the twenty years I've lived here.

338
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: That's andy in Saint Paul. I'm gonna up. I am

339
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: a ups driver. I could say that last night slash

340
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: today has left a lot to be desired when it

341
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: comes to snow removal. In Minneapolis, they had not even

342
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: touched ninety four East slash thirty five W North last

343
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: night when I was driving back into the facility at

344
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: nine pm. Unacceptable. That was gonna be sort of the

345
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: way I went with it. I felt for the first

346
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: time in a while that the last I don't know,

347
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: twenty four hours have not seemed up to our standard.

348
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: And I think officially we got five inches at the airport,

349
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: maybe it was four chan I think Channy got four

350
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 1: and maybe airport got five, or maybe it was vice versa.

351
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: That's that's a healthy snowfall, and there are a lot

352
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: of icy patches you can tell because of the temperature

353
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 1: and so forth.

354
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 2: But I I.

355
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 1: Haven't sensed where maybe we need a couple more snownamis.

356
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: I haven't sensed that we're at the top of our

357
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: I just don't want us to rest on our laurels

358
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 1: and to think, yeah, of course we do. We have

359
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: all this experience doing it, and that doesn't mean that

360
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: that you're necessarily doing the job great normally good, but

361
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: side streets not plowed, BMW Sedan not made for this.

362
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 2: But all we'll drive letter rip.

363
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: We're probably good at snow removal, but I think everyone

364
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: is second to Buffalo.

365
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 2: Probably has to be. It has to be. But are

366
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 2: they We don't know. I mean, I mean we assume it,

367
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 2: but maybe they're not great at it.

368
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: I just drove down from Golden Valley to Owatana today

369
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: and Backerly this morning. Roads were pretty pristine, even though

370
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: the drivers may make you think they're not. LOL, So

371
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: I'd say our plow service is still pretty dang good.

372
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: I defend people, by the way, especially in the first

373
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 1: couple of snowstorms, that drive exceedingly defensively. I know it

374
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: makes it more dangerous sometimes if you're driving too slow

375
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 1: or you're too worried. Well, the extremes right, they go

376
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: too slow, too fast out of forgetfulness.

377
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 2: But people got to get their bearings a little bit

378
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 2: in snow.

379
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: I don't deny that this is a callback to the

380
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: blander discussion Dan Back in the day, I had a

381
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: Chicago relative who lived in George Blanda's neighborhood. Sounds like

382
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: he would get into no holds barred snowball fights with

383
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: all the neighborhood kids.

384
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 2: I love it.

385
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: Bass balls, Bahamas Blanda. That's that's from Clayton. Well, it's

386
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: good across section of texts. We'll keep that going. Maybe

387
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 1: later in the show. We will name the snow namy

388
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 1: later in the program as well. Let's come back and

389
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: talk about a guy who can't possibly relate well to

390
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: the conditions that we are the rest of us are

391
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: dealing with.

392
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 2: I've already heard from him.

393
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: He's very concerned about the snow conditions here and no

394
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: shock he has a George Blandas story.

395
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 2: Oh good, that.

396
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: Doesn't shock me at all. And we'll also see what

397
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: he thinks about the Zookie hit.

398
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 3: Was it cheap?

399
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 1: Was it evil? Or was it just a good hard

400
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: hit that we were on the wrong side of that?

401
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: And much more with Luigi.

402
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 4: Next, we sneaks around the World. Ride down there in

403
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 4: the world Camp Nanny.

404
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: Brought to you by Camps, and you sure as hell

405
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: know he's not here, not enduring what we teaching. Every

406
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: one of us is enduring on a daily basis. Louie

407
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: joins us via the Connectico Water Systems hotline. Are you

408
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: still in Florida or some other tropical spot?

409
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 5: Boy? I came back to Florida last night from Boston. Okay,

410
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 5: I was just in Boston for the day. But I'll

411
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 5: tell you one thing. The West people or Palm Beach

412
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 5: people do a great job of cleaning the road. There's

413
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 5: no snuter you never did.

414
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 2: It's amazing. It's amazing.

415
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: It's just like they make it disappear, is what you're

416
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: saying they do such a good job.

417
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what happened to me last year. You're

418
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 5: not going to believe this. So I come back to

419
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 5: Minneapolis late me and bring my car in the ags.

420
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 5: I got to give aj the plug. They do such

421
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 5: a great job because I store my tires there, put

422
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 5: them on in November, and then take them off and me.

423
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 5: So I came back and and I take my car

424
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 5: in first one eight o'clock in the morning, give my keys.

425
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 5: He puts it up in the hoist and I just

426
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 5: said down, reachh over to grab a book to read it.

427
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 5: And all of a sudden he comes back and he

428
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,199
Speaker 5: gives me my keys. What happened? He says, you forgot

429
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 5: to put your snow tires on.

430
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 2: That's it. See yeah, I wonder why.

431
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I wonder what because you.

432
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 2: Know, yeah, that's it. That might have a lot to

433
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 2: do with it.

434
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: Are you familiar, uh Louis with the music group Pearl Jam.

435
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, you're familiar with them.

436
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: I bring it up because somebody had texted out of

437
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: nowhere that apparently the band Pearl Jam was sponsoring They

438
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: got their name on a zamboni in Duluth, right.

439
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 2: Did you hear about this story?

440
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 3: Yeah?

441
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 5: I did. That's pretty neat they got they filed publicity

442
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,719
Speaker 5: out of I think that, you know, I think it's

443
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 5: especially one of the guys there in the group a

444
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 5: hockey fan until he probably pushed it. That's a great

445
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 5: that was a great thing. Now we will have to

446
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 5: see if we had more music.

447
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: Group there got now a texture brought. This reminded me

448
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: about this because we had not mentioned it on air.

449
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: And he also wanted to know if you had any

450
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: Zamboni name stories or maybe even some Zamboni stories that

451
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,239
Speaker 1: have nothing to do with names. Did you ever come

452
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: close to being run over by a Zamboni on the ice?

453
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 5: I am the first broadcast ever to do an interview

454
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 5: on the de Love It shouldn't I in nineteen sixty five.

455
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 3: Five.

456
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 5: Well, when they came out with it, they came out

457
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 5: with the Weiler's Mike right. And I'm always you know,

458
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 5: and I was doing the state tournaments and I'm always

459
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 5: looking for something to do differently, and I asked my producer,

460
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 5: I said, well, let's Mike work if I go to

461
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 5: zam Boni. He says, yeah, so there I am. They

462
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 5: probably some filmuffit riding around the zamboni, sitting with the

463
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 5: zamboni driver. It's pretty good interviewing him.

464
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 2: That's outstanding. We did.

465
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 1: We're talking about because the Colts have signed a forty

466
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: four year old quarterback that reminded me of George Blanda,

467
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 1: who I wondered, I thought maybe was even older, and

468
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: GUARDI said, when he looked it up, they was on

469
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: the Raiders until he was forty eight.

470
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 3: Uh.

471
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 2: And then he tells me that you got your own

472
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 2: George Blanda story. What's that?

473
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 5: Well, I went to Chicago that mckeida invited me down

474
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 5: to the golf club that he belonged to in Chicago.

475
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 5: And I go in and sitting down where I mean

476
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 5: lun first and and he introduced me as guy George Blanda.

477
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 5: Lowis George's still playing football? And I think he was

478
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 5: about forty day. I said, you're still playing football. I said,

479
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 5: he and Gordie House should get together and open a restaurant.

480
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 3: They're both in their forty that's true, that's true.

481
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 5: But yeah, but he was he was a san he

482
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 5: was and that's a golfer as well. He really was

483
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 5: a good golf golfer.

484
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 2: He was a place kicker too.

485
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 3: He was you know, what are you doing?

486
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 5: He said, well, most of the time, might just go

487
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 5: there and just kick the ball.

488
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 2: That's pretty good. That's outstanding.

489
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: Questions for Louis hit the branch on Brian k FA

490
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,959
Speaker 1: and text line as many of you already have. We're

491
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: going to get to some of those texts before we

492
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: wrap things up with uh with Luigi, So give me

493
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: your view of the Zukarello hit. It was a big

494
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 1: topic of conversation. It was viewed by the jackals of

495
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: the media jackals as very much an inspiration for the team.

496
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 5: Uh.

497
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 2: And the was the that was against the crack and

498
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 2: I believe is they finally want They finished up with

499
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 2: a victory on that road trip. So what do you

500
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 2: think was the hit? Evil? Was it cheap?

501
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: Was it just a good hard hit that we're on

502
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: the wrong side of What did you make of it?

503
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 5: It was just a good hard hit. And what's happened today? Well,

504
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 5: first of all, Zu Courella's done a tall guy anyway,

505
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 5: although Vince done that hit him is not that much taller,

506
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 5: but but he got him with his shoulder and the

507
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 5: head and and uh, you know, unfortunately for Zu Carella.

508
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 5: He could have a concussion. I don't know what the

509
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 5: situation is, but but uh, if so, hockey and as

510
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 5: the an agent drives me, not, that's just a good

511
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 5: hard hit. You can't do that anymore. That's the game's

512
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 5: all about it. Even though I like the wild stand

513
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 5: up for one another. To me, you don't have to

514
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 5: stand up for that. The guy's got his head down.

515
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 5: That's the name of the game. That's Whatcky's all about.

516
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 5: So I was more upset that the world got badly

517
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 5: in a reaction. Yes, and this, you know, I don't

518
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 5: know where they get this. Oh this is a you know,

519
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 5: a turning point in the game or stuff like that.

520
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 5: They all do it. It's the same thing. It just

521
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 5: you know, well, if it was a dirty hit, I

522
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 5: can understand. Clean, clean hit. That's what the game is

523
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 5: all about. And we're seeing far too much of this,

524
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 5: and I don't know if they're ever going to be

525
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 5: able to take it out of the game.

526
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 2: Well, but this is not new you You've been talking

527
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,959
Speaker 2: about this on this show for years, same thing, Like

528
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 2: what wait, wait a minute, if all we got to retaliate,

529
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 2: we got to take the number, and we got to

530
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 2: make sure, we get them later and and on hits

531
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 2: that you say or just man, we're on the wrong

532
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 2: side of a good hit.

533
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,479
Speaker 1: Man, it happens, and you don't have to lose your

534
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: mind over it. You just go and try to play

535
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 1: harder or play better or whatever it takes. But to

536
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: pretend that there's anything scandalous about it, I don't know.

537
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: I just think maybe it's the Internet age. Stuff gets

538
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: slowed down, it gets replayed a bunch of times, and

539
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: when your guy is the guy who takes the hit,

540
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: you know, I think there's a tendency to want to

541
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: say we got wrong.

542
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, And that's what it is. And it's unfortunately because

543
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 5: no matter what you say, one of the great parts

544
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 5: of hockey, one of the great attractions in hockey is

545
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 5: the fact that you have really good contact. You see

546
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 5: a number of good hits, you see heavy hits, you

547
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 5: see guys taking in the board's hard. That's why football

548
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 5: is so popular too. Football is a big contact sport

549
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 5: and the contact in those sports are one of the

550
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 5: things that brings the viewers to the game and it's

551
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 5: something that I never want to see taken out of

552
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 5: the game. When we used to play the World championships

553
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 5: in Europe and you got the bigger right surface two

554
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 5: hundred by one hundred instead of two hundred by eighty five,

555
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 5: and that made up a third more ice. You can

556
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 5: hardly find somebody to hit. The rich are so big,

557
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 5: and that's to me, it was one of the things

558
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 5: that made it so unattractive to watch two European teams play.

559
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 3: And I don't.

560
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 5: Want to see those heavy. It's taken out of the

561
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 5: game because it's the player's responsibility to keep your head up,

562
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 5: know what's going on, and you know, just you have

563
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 5: to you have to be prepared to get hit. And

564
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 5: one of the biggest things we've ever said in hockey,

565
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 5: and they sit in every locker room that's ever been there,

566
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 5: take a hit to make a play, yep. And so

567
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 5: you know you're going to get hit in this game.

568
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 5: And if you want to make a good play, sometimes

569
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 5: you got to take a hit. You got to suck

570
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 5: the guy in and take a hit, and the other

571
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 5: guys go yeah, And I hate to see anything take

572
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 5: it out of the game.

573
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 2: I'm with you.

574
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: I think a lot of this is there's less of

575
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: an ability now to just, you know, sort of tip

576
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,479
Speaker 1: your hat and said, Okay, the goddess that time. Now

577
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna you know, we'll remember to the extent that

578
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: we'll try to at some point later do the same thing.

579
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 2: Uh, if we have the opportunity.

580
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: But I think that the emotion, I don't know, it

581
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: just seems like it feels different in a way where

582
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: I if I if I salute that, Hey, you know what,

583
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: good hit man. You know, well, we'll play the next

584
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: round and we'll see where it goes. But we're on

585
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: the wrong side of the hit. Now, let me get

586
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: your reaction to what one of the textrares says here.

587
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: The Zukerrella hit was legal, but definitely the type you

588
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: take the number and pay him back done. Took a

589
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: rink wide run and could have hit him effectively without

590
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: launching him. What do you think of that?

591
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 5: I didn't think it was a launch. A couple across

592
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 5: it's still launching. I like to hit, and I loved

593
00:30:58,600 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 5: growing on my favorite.

594
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

595
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 5: Yes, but I like seeing that body checking. I mean,

596
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,479
Speaker 5: I do not. I got to disagree with that. I

597
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 5: like to see these hips in the game. I don't

598
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 5: like to see him get in the head and just

599
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 5: that that's the unfortunate part about it different sizes and

600
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 5: or if the guy bends over and try to sneak

601
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 5: by the check, there are different reasons why they get

602
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 5: in the head and you don't don't want to see that.

603
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 5: But but I like the fact that guys eliminate guys

604
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 5: off the puck with the body check. Hey, by the way,

605
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 5: before we go any farther, I got to tell you

606
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 5: because I'm getting a lot of Texas that Jeff Merrick's

607
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 5: got a great podcast. He's one of the great hockey

608
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 5: guys out of Toronto. And on his podcast apparently I

609
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 5: don't know, must have been yesterday or because now I'm

610
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,719
Speaker 5: starting to get it today he talked about the draft

611
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 5: in Minnesota and Harold Ballard, who was the owner, and

612
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 5: he crusted the old guy that owned the Toronto Maple

613
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 5: Leafs was really upset with me. He said, Hey, killum,

614
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 5: he's really pissed off at me because the Toronto Maple

615
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 5: Leafs were We're given a tableway at the end and

616
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 5: when they panned the audience when they opened it and

617
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 5: Hockey I you know, or CBC in Canada to draft

618
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 5: all the leaf scouts and everybody had their legs on

619
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 5: the table and the draft table. And so after the

620
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 5: draft was over next day goes home and one of

621
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 5: the reporters asked one of the scouts, why did you

622
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 5: guys all have your legs and the table. He says,

623
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 5: Harold Paller's really upset with Nanny because he gave the

624
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 5: table right at the back, the farthest away from the

625
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 5: from the bathroom, and he couldn't go to the bathroom.

626
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 5: So we had everybody put their legs on the table,

627
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 5: and he whizzed underneath the table.

628
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 2: So how about this goal?

629
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,479
Speaker 5: Well this is but when we had the draft here

630
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 5: nineteen seventy nine and I did you know the NHL

631
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 5: puts the tables. I don't. I didn't put the table out.

632
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 5: He thought I was upset with him, and I gave

633
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 5: my table at the back, said be far from the bathroom.

634
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 2: Oh that's too good.

635
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 5: That's what I will tell you this. And this did

636
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 5: not surprise me because when I gave the induction speech

637
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 5: for gumb Worthy when he was going to a Hockey

638
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 5: Hall of Fame in Toronto, it was in the Royal York.

639
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 5: There's a thousand people there and h Ballard is sitting

640
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 5: to my right, compass sitting to my left, and you know,

641
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 5: it goes all wrong. We had about four inductions going

642
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 5: and we used to have the speeches before, et cetera.

643
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 5: And he just was right under the table while I'm

644
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 5: sitting there on the diets.

645
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 2: Are you serious.

646
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 5: I'm serious, I'm sitting right there. And I never told

647
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 5: anybody at that time, and I certainly was going to

648
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 5: make a story because he was still living. Now that

649
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 5: he's dead, what the hell is that about? I don't know.

650
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 5: And that's why I love the story.

651
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 2: The day.

652
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 5: You know he was he'd never be anybody in when

653
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 5: he was really bad, Ronnie ellis and wants to to,

654
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 5: you know, negotiate a contract, and Ronnie was very upset

655
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 5: and he's getting ready to storm out and Bello, so

656
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 5: gase you'd like to piss of my grave? Sonny Iles says, no,

657
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 5: the line would be too long.

658
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: Oh oh, that's that's pretty amazing. Well, see, that's that

659
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: you're offering up a reason why podcasts are good.

660
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 2: There's probably too many of them.

661
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 1: But that's the kind of story that's probably less likely

662
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 1: to come up on anything but a podcast right where

663
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,720
Speaker 1: you can dive into pretty much anything at any point.

664
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 2: So that's uh, that. I'm sure you're getting, like you said,

665
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 2: plenty of texts from people you know who's listened to it. Correct.

666
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know because I called MIRRK today and I said,

667
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 5: you know, Jeff, I said, you should realize that the

668
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 5: NHL says the table light, it set the table.

669
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 2: That's that's so good.

670
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 3: Uh.

671
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 2: Dry Heat Guy has a question for you.

672
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: Can you ask Louis whether the NHL is starting to

673
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: regret moving the Coyotes to Utah. I'm hearing reports that

674
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: attendants is bad. Also, what are you hearing about expansion rumors?

675
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: Houston fourth largest market, the fourth largest market. Will Milwaukee

676
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,919
Speaker 1: ever get an NHL team or is it too close

677
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: to Chicago?

678
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 2: That's dry Heat guy.

679
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, Milwaukee won't get a team with

680
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 5: Chicago there. But no, the NHL is very happy with Utah.

681
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,320
Speaker 5: And by the way, they still have that in their pocket,

682
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 5: that franchise for Phoenix if they get a rink, which

683
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:29,240
Speaker 5: they're talking. There's talks now that they're you know, people

684
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 5: are looking to try and build a rank in Phoenix,

685
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 5: and Houston is a good city. That did also look

686
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 5: at also kanasas city. By the way, it would be

687
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 5: two billion now they internally that they've talked about. Because

688
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 5: I said, was I've heard it very strong fact that

689
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 5: it would be two billion for a franchise.

690
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 3: Now, two billion, two billions.

691
00:35:58,160 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 2: That's pretty stunning, isn't that?

692
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 5: Yes, it is? Are you kidding me?

693
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 2: Believable dollars?

694
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 5: It's absolutely unbelievable.

695
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 2: It's astonishing.

696
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: That's a breaking college football news, Luigi to pass along

697
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: to you and the audience. Media reports indicating that the

698
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: University of Michigan has fired their football coach, which his

699
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: name Moore. Moore dismissed by the University of Michigan. So

700
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: there you have it.

701
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 3: That was that expected.

702
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 1: No, but the second sentence is the university found quote

703
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 1: credible evidence that he engaged in inappropriate relationship with another

704
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:38,879
Speaker 1: staff member.

705
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 2: Okay, so that that wraps.

706
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 1: So it's related more to that apparently than maybe well,

707
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: probably didn't.

708
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 2: Help that the seventeen and eight over two years.

709
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, seventeen and eight is a good record most places.

710
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 2: Huh, seventeen and eight is not.

711
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: So good necessarily at the University of Glenn. Mason's reaction

712
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: ten minutes from now, Oh, that's right. We got a

713
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: lot to discuss with Mace. The general condition of the club.

714
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: You know, they had the great stretch, seemed to turn

715
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: everything around, and they had a couple of bad games

716
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 1: in a row. Then they win the last game on

717
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: the trip. How do you you panicky about that or

718
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:15,760
Speaker 1: do you say you're going to have some Evan flaw?

719
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: What would you say you've seen most recently from your

720
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: favorite hockey team.

721
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 5: Well, I didn't like the two games that they lost it.

722
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 5: They played so well and then come back and lose

723
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 5: it too like that, And I was worried about those

724
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 5: games because when you go back and look at it,

725
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,479
Speaker 5: the Wild just seems to get beaten in Calgary more

726
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 5: than they should. I think Calgary is going to be

727
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 5: one of the better home records against him than than

728
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 5: other teams. I was surprised he lost Vancouver, was really

729
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 5: floundering and he just couldn't score in the Vancouver game.

730
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 5: He just it was and then ye, well, an unusual

731
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 5: night frame because he's been playing so well in that

732
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 5: last goal that he gave up the puck behind the

733
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 5: net after he had been doing so well and in

734
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 5: the park all year long. It's just a little mistake,

735
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 5: but that was the fourth goal and not killed him.

736
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 5: But what concerns me the most of the injuries. They

737
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 5: just can seem to stop getting people injured, hind to

738
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 5: on them playing really well, playing as a team, playing

739
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,720
Speaker 5: you know, really consistently and heart all the way through,

740
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 5: but you can't keep getting four or five guys out

741
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 5: of the lineup. But expect to be the same team,

742
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 5: and just anybody could say next man up, just like

743
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 5: they're doing football, next man up. Yeah, the next man's up.

744
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 5: But he's just thought of the good.

745
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:41,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's very rare that he's as good. You're exactly right. Yeah,

746
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 2: we talked about this briefly yesterday, but I want to

747
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 2: get you in on and I don't know how much

748
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 2: you know about it.

749
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: You got connections everywhere. But these horror stories are continuing

750
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: out of the Winter Olympics in Italy that they're way

751
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: behind on the rink and it's going to be another

752
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 1: almost like it was the last time it was in Italy.

753
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: But it's going to be right to the wire whether

754
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: the rink is going to be as it is I

755
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: guess is already it's going to be different dimensions than

756
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: it was really supposed to be. So what do you

757
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: how much concern is there about this and what do

758
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: you hear about it?

759
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 5: For Olympics talking, I had Lenchard Bill Daily back I

760
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 5: want to see two months ago in New York, and

761
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 5: and he had mentioned the fact that they they were

762
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 5: concerned they better get their building done in time. But

763
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 5: at that time there was no knowledge or anything said

764
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 5: about the size of the rink. Now, the size of

765
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 5: the rink is going to be I think one hundred

766
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 5: and ninety six point three feet instead of two hundred.

767
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 5: We're talking about the length, right, that's that's a minor concern.

768
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 5: People can make a big fuss about it. When we

769
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 5: played the rinks before, Boston, Chicago, the Buffalo, those are

770
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 5: all small rinks, you know, so they were different sizes.

771
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,839
Speaker 5: Now all the rinks are standard the NHL are all

772
00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 5: two hundred by eighty five. So what they'll do it

773
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 5: won't be a problem is they'll just move the both

774
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 5: lines closer to the center. They'll do it equally and

775
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 5: just have the more in the areas in the defensive

776
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 5: zones will still be the same, but the neutral zone

777
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 5: will be a little smaller, which really doesn't matter. They

778
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 5: don't have a red line anymore for passing and just

779
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 5: for rising, so that's not gonna be a big deal.

780
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 5: That's not the deal. The deal is that they got

781
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 5: to get the ring ready. But here's the kicker. If

782
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 5: the ring's not ready to see that, some of the

783
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 5: seats aren't ready for some of the other stuff. But

784
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 5: the teams could play, still play. You think they're not

785
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 5: going to play With that kind of money at stake,

786
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 5: they'll play the game is nobody's there, I think. But

787
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 5: more than that, the Player is Association. I don't think

788
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 5: wouldever want and not to play. Conor mcdavids all his life,

789
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 5: all he's want to do is play in the Olympics.

790
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 5: I can't see even Martin wallsh the executive director to

791
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:01,919
Speaker 5: the Players Association, going and said we're not going to play.

792
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 5: That's not right because I think the players would be

793
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:05,399
Speaker 5: very upset about her.

794
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 1: Another text coming in here late Rossy's week to week

795
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 1: absent since mid november's left the hole in the middle.

796
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: Could have trade for a gritty depth center like Vancouver's

797
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 1: Keith for sure would provide the Wild with the bottom

798
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 1: six spark that they might need before the holiday break.

799
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 5: Well, they've been trying to get keep for Sherwood for

800
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,839
Speaker 5: a while year, but the price has been going up,

801
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 5: and now maybe it'll go back down because he has

802
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,439
Speaker 5: the score as well this year as he did last year,

803
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 5: and he is a fourth liner by trade originally, and

804
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 5: he just happened to blossom into a good score. But

805
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 5: he'd be a good player for the while. I'd like

806
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 5: to see him in the while because he's physical and

807
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,919
Speaker 5: he's proven he can score. Could he do it again?

808
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 5: We'll love to see. But here's the deal. If you

809
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 5: get if you get a guy like him, what are

810
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 5: you going to give up for him? Right now? The

811
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 5: Cannects are asking too much for him, especially when he

812
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 5: include a first row pick in the player. So I

813
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 5: don't see that the well, they're going to be the

814
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 5: kind of price they want. They're going to just try

815
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 5: to work their way through this, you know. I just

816
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 5: I wouldn't say you're going to trade a Hartman for

817
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 5: Surewood because eventually there's a safe time players accepted. I

818
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 5: think Hartman's had much better track or go over a

819
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 5: long term of scoring goals and then share with it.

820
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 5: So I don't see. I don't see that happening unless

821
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 5: the price goes down for the from the Canucks. You

822
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 5: know what they want and and somebody will while get

823
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 5: more healthy where they have a player to trade.

824
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:46,720
Speaker 1: Do you remember who the Gopher football coach was before

825
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 1: Tim Brewster.

826
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 5: Hey, what's that guy's name? He's the guy he's got

827
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 5: a dog pin or something.

828
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 3: Anthon Parkle, Apparently he does.

829
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 2: He's got a lot of say to your old buddy,

830
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:00,720
Speaker 2: Nanny Glenn.

831
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 3: Hey, Louis, I heard I miss you. I miss you here.

832
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 2: I got to correct you on one.

833
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 3: Thing, yeah, more.

834
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 6: Than one thing when you said before, you know the

835
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 6: problem with the next man up, the next guy is

836
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,280
Speaker 6: not as good with the exception of this show, because

837
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 6: I'm up next and I'm a lot better than you, mandate.

838
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 5: I wish you would think that. Well, when you were

839
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 5: coaching our football team, you know what you still being Yeah, yeah,

840
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 5: he still be there and he'd be making more money.

841
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 6: Oh man, Louis, can you believe the money these guys

842
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 6: are making now?

843
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 2: No?

844
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 5: I can.

845
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, he just fired the guy at

846
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:46,399
Speaker 6: Kentucky and he's going to be get paid I think

847
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 6: thirty nine or thirty seven point yeah, four million dollars.

848
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 2: They figured it out.

849
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 6: That's a that's a five one hundred thousand bonus for

850
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 6: every game that he won during his tenure there. These

851
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 6: guys have lost their mind.

852
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 2: Louis, do you think Race? You know you can speak

853
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 2: to this. Do you think Mace.

854
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:08,399
Speaker 1: We were talking earlier about whether people over the last

855
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: forty years in the metro area have gotten a little softer.

856
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: I mean, would you not agree that Louis is the

857
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 1: very epitome of someone, you know, a sue, the guy

858
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 1: from the Sioux who's gone soft because he's never here anymore.

859
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 2: He's he's in Florida. I meanwhile, you got a place

860
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 2: in Florida, yet you're still I'm here, you know, I

861
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 2: embraced the call id.

862
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 3: Yes, I really live in Florida. You know.

863
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 5: I told him when they recruited me here, the one

864
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 5: question I asked it was the most important question. I

865
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:41,879
Speaker 5: asked how much do you have here in the winter?

866
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 5: And they said not much? I said, how much is

867
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 5: not much? They said three inches? I signed the next day,

868
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 5: you know, and oh, my dad, so are we going

869
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 5: to talk about this? They said, no, they got three

870
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 5: inches of stow. I'm going there.

871
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,280
Speaker 6: No, no, wait a minute, Louis, I remember you telling

872
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 6: me how you hated the heat when you got recruited

873
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 6: from the Sioux and he came down. It was like

874
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 6: during the summer you had to go back to the

875
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 6: hotel and getting the bathtub, putting ice cubes in there,

876
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 6: didn't you.

877
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 5: Well where he slept tonight because he had no air

878
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 5: conditioned a hotel but Nicola with ninety five degrees, so

879
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 5: he slept in the tough But I didn't say I'm

880
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 5: going to love the heat here. That's why I go

881
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 5: back to the Midwest into summer because it gets too out.

882
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 5: I go to Baltam Lake where it's on the water.

883
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 5: I got to get out.

884
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 3: Of the heat here to Louis Man, Yeah, I know,

885
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:27,839
Speaker 3: that's the way it is.

886
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna let you go because Mace has

887
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: got a lot on his plate that we have to discuss,

888
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: as you know, and if we if we if we

889
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 1: intrude too far into his time slot, he pouts.

890
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 2: I mean, he's like a wide receiver. Doesn't do He's

891
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 2: just gonna start feeling sorry for himself. Well, he doesn't

892
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 2: have anything else to do.

893
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,360
Speaker 3: That's true too, I keep him busy.

894
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, that's exactly. I don't want to be like, no,

900
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:11,800
Speaker 1: in studio. Let's get a top of the hour break.

901
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 2: Horrific. Well, I shouldn't use that term.

902
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: I'll go devastating Indiana University injury news, which I want

903
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:23,280
Speaker 1: to discuss with Mace and even maybe get some insight

904
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 1: from him regarding this kind of injury if it ever

905
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,280
Speaker 1: happened to one of his teams that he coached.

906
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 2: Celebration.

907
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll get into a lot of other stuff as well.
