1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:00,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 2: Just in case you missed it, it's the top five

3
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 2: spot Staggers of the day. Now it's time for Dan

7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 3: All right, let's uh.

8
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 4: I'm glad you finally got to it, because I did

9
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 4: mean to, at least I didn't want to sensationalize this

10
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 4: story like you just did. Potentially, but it may be

11
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 4: a little too early to panic, but it certainly would

12
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 4: be under the classification of given all we know about pictures,

13
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 4: especially veteran pictures, a great sign of concern.

14
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 5: I just watched I think, like the pre practice speech

15
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 5: from your guy Shelty, Derek Shelton, and it was inspiring.

16
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 5: It was like PJ. Fleck was in the room for

17
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 5: me and he's talking about hunting the good and don't

18
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 5: you know, win the drill when the day negativity, you'll

19
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 5: bring you down. Every single detail we were there, any

20
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 5: jar references, no let off the d of But it

21
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 5: was only about a forty five second clip, gotcha. So

22
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 5: the group you could tell was motivated. They were ready

23
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 5: to go They're gonna run through a brick wall for him.

24
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 5: I did see that quote. Yeah, Pablo Lopez, the ace

25
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 5: pitcher who was injured a year ago, if we recall,

26
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 5: left his throwing session early today with right elbow soreness.

27
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 3: Oh lovely.

28
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,199
Speaker 5: This is Dan Hayes from the Athletic Live batting practice session.

29
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 5: He threw two pitches at the start of his third

30
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 5: inning and left nobody with twins. Do the severity of

31
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 5: Lopez's elbow issue, and they won't know until after the

32
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 5: All Star pitcher undergoes an m R. The drafted Mr.

33
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 5: I you say, here's Sheelte's quote. It's some soreness, and

34
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 5: we want to be abundantly careful because it's Febs sixteen.

35
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 5: I look for the good things that happened. I don't

36
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 5: live in a speculative world. It's a terrible place to

37
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 5: be in this game. We're always going to be speculating

38
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 5: about what's going to happen or what's not going to happen.

39
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 5: You don't do that because you end up borring about

40
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 5: ninety percent of the stuff that never comes to fruition.

41
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 5: Right now, I'm taking that. We had a really good day,

42
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 5: but he felt some soreness. We'll get it looked at

43
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 5: and move on from there. It was the first full

44
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 5: squad workout and Pablo Lopez had to leave it early.

45
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it might end up being a trifle, but it's

46
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 4: always concerning. We know how it goes in Major League

47
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 4: Baseball these days. Pictures, especially pictures who have a little

48
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 4: bit of mileage on them. I know we're embarrassment of

49
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 4: riches in terms of our starters, but I'm thinking it

50
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 4: would be a bit it would be a bit difficult

51
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 4: to get off on the right foot if your best

52
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 4: picture for some reason might be out for an extended

53
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 4: period of time. We have no evidence of that yet,

54
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 4: but man, this is the first time I assume.

55
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 3: He was out there.

56
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the team, the full team, thirty thing, and

57
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 5: it's already a problem. That's not good. It's not what

58
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 5: you want to hear. No, that was not good news.

59
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 5: Anthony Edwards, he brought it yesterday. I know you were inspired.

60
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 5: Thirty two points nine rebounds. He won the MVP Dan

61
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 5: of the All Star Game. He did he did. Wemby

62
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 5: said the tone, dant the whole thing.

63
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 4: Oh so, so it's for all the games, for how

64
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 4: the game played like seven seven to twelve minute quarters.

65
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 5: It was for twelve minute games involving the three teams.

66
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 5: An Ant's team was Team Stars, that's the young Americans.

67
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 5: Not to be confused young and they called him not

68
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 5: to be confused with Team Stripes, which were the old heads,

69
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 5: as they called him, okay, and not to be confused

70
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 5: with the World Team, which as you would have me.

71
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 3: Bored with the whole thing.

72
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 5: Well, and even said that after Yeah, he said, uh,

73
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 5: Luca and Joker aren't here for this.

74
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 3: He just said they don't want.

75
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 5: To do it.

76
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 4: Somebody did write that that for whatever reason, Joker has

77
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 4: been bored with all All Star Games, which again you

78
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 4: can respect on one level, but does he not really

79
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 4: does he is he bored with them because he notes

80
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 4: that most players don't try, or he also is not

81
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 4: interested in trying.

82
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 5: You know, I just don't think he's interested in He's

83
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 5: barely interested in being here to play the regular season.

84
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's committed when he is, he is.

85
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 5: And he's great, and he's won three m vps obviously

86
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 5: might win another one.

87
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 3: You might be in trouble in that regard. I got

88
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 3: some stats for you later that you're not gonna like me. Yeah,

89
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 3: relating to SGA. Oh I'm interested.

90
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not, it's not. It's not looking good for you.

91
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 5: For me, well, just because of how you feel about him.

92
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 3: I just think it's good.

93
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 4: It might be a rude awakening when the when the

94
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 4: voting begins. Oh, interesting, we'll save that for later. So

95
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 4: now everybody gets to break. And you just heard Tom

96
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 4: Crean with you about an hour ago talk about the

97
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 4: break that everybody needs in the National Basketball Association. The

98
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 4: Wolves are off for a few days, returning Friday night

99
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 4: at home.

100
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 6: It's too long.

101
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 3: It's a long break. Too long you get back out there.

102
00:04:58,839 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 3: They're taking on.

103
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 5: Actually, we should have brought it up Tom Crean's Dallas

104
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 5: Mavericks because his kid works for.

105
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 3: The Masks, right, yeah, you're right.

106
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 5: He's one of the second row guys, I think, second

107
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 5: or third row guys for the MAVs. The MAVs are

108
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 5: in town with your guy, Cooper Flag. So we got

109
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 5: four days with no National Basketball Association. But the Wolves

110
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,559
Speaker 5: ready to be in a good mood. Hopefully, hopefully the weather,

111
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 5: you know, puts them back in a good mood. The

112
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 5: fact that it's like fifty this week, Miche, we're hosting Dallas,

113
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 5: hosting Dallas. Will the phenom bee he's been He's hurt, right.

114
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 5: Who's their star player? Cooper Flag Flag? I think because

115
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 5: he missed the All Star Game.

116
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 3: He's got a foot.

117
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 5: He's already been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Lakers,

118
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 5: so that's a buzz kill.

119
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 3: Holistically might be there, might not be there for Friday either.

120
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 3: That's an ESPN game, Cooper, you better be there. Off

121
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 3: to a pretty good start. Yeah, he's good. Although corn

122
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 3: to John.

123
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 5: Maul Ashburn, he wouldn't be any higher than the seventh

124
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 5: or eighth player selected in the upcoming Remember I said.

125
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 3: This, Hey is that somebody said?

126
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 4: That's just about where he went to school from Ashburn.

127
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 4: It's a trolling thing where you just can't I doubt it,

128
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 4: you know, but how But I mean, how can you

129
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 4: be that moronic to say something like that.

130
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 3: I don't know.

131
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 4: I mean, the guy has already done historic stuff. And

132
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 4: if you want to say, hey, there's a few people

133
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 4: I think who can who can who can measure up

134
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 4: with him? But I mean, you just you just I

135
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 4: just think you make yourself look foolish.

136
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 3: I get it. It's a podcast and there's a million

137
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 3: of them. There's just too many.

138
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 4: I'm surprised that there's not anybody on the rest of

139
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 4: that set who said, are you insane?

140
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 3: I mean, why are you?

141
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 2: What?

142
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 3: You? What do they pay you? It just doesn't make sense.

143
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 5: But go ahead, I go for women's basketball team and

144
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 5: our final minute here of one eight in a row

145
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 5: for Boudreau. They crushed Wisconsin yesterday and ranked now twenty three.

146
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 5: Yeah rank for the first time. Yeah they will.

147
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 4: I'm glad you brought it up. But they're worth more time.

148
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 4: My intention either today or tomorrow was to give them

149
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 4: a segment for you to to to scout them, for us,

150
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 4: for the casual fan who he hasn't paying attention to them,

151
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 4: because this is this is a really good stretch. Obviously,

152
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 4: this is this looks like they are ready to kind

153
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 4: of break out a little bit in a way. But obviously, well,

154
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 4: this will be the first tournament appearance. Was since eighteen,

155
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 4: Since twenty eighteen. Yeah, yeah, that's a long time.

156
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 3: It is.

157
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 5: I've used that year a lot. They've done a lot

158
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 5: of things that they haven't done since that season. And

159
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 5: how about this week they host week Ohio State number ten,

160
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 5: Ohio State on Wednesday night at the Barn. Right then

161
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:31,559
Speaker 5: they host number eighteen Michigan State on Sunday at the Barn.

162
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 5: It still be there. I don't think he will be.

163
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 5: I don't remember a bigger week and for either basketball

164
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 5: program when you factor in there alive for a double

165
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 5: buy in the Big Ten tournament. Yeah, it's amazing they're

166
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 5: alive to actually host NCAA tournament games. You know all

167
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 5: this stuff more than I do. Is it the net

168
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 5: jet rating or the net rating whatever? They're like ninth

169
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 5: in the country.

170
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, Now, I know that's not a be all, but

171
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 4: that's pretty when's the last time we've been in the

172
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 4: top ten ever in the net jet rating?

173
00:07:58,440 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 7: Well?

174
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 5: The most interesting about the net jet rate, they are,

175
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 5: for some reason, like the outlier when it translates to

176
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 5: the actual rankings. I noticed that, Yeah, which is annoying. Yeah,

177
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 5: I can imagine. Well, does that fall into the classfication.

178
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 4: Of you've been off the radar, so we're just going

179
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 4: to be stubborn about giving you the love?

180
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 3: I think so. I mean, I'm not defending it, but

181
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 3: that does tend to happen.

182
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 5: And I think it's happening because their resume now in

183
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 5: real time with quad one wins and teams they've beaten.

184
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 5: They just beat Iowa, who's still ranked in the top

185
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 5: fifteen in their place, like they definitely should be higher,

186
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 5: but being ranked, that's good, good start, and I'm excited

187
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 5: for this week. It's two big, big time opponents that

188
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 5: are coming into with a ton at stake in a

189
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 5: million different ways. So yeah, I'd love to talk more

190
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 5: about it. Granda, it's right, no grand in your hand.

191
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 3: I keep waiting for it, but today's out the day

192
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 3: because it's holiday.

193
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be back. You said on tomorrow's program.

194
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 4: I have another baseball item I do want to discuss

195
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 4: with you.

196
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 3: We'll get to that.

197
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 4: And it is also twins related and I'm kind of

198
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 4: confused by it.

199
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 3: Maybe he can help me there and.

200
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 5: They will bever for Johnny Phletic at the bottom of

201
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 5: the hour, Cafan welcome some great shows to Mystic Lake Amphitheater.

202

Speaker 5: Leonard Skinnard and Foreigner will be there August sixteenth, Motley

Speaker 5: the concert page kfan dot com keyword Calendar.

206
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 3: Day.

207
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 4: All right, so you mentioned the at least concerning news

208
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 4: regarding Paula Lopez felt some tightness, shall we say, a

209
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 4: little bit of a twinge, just something in his elbow

210
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 4: correct of his pitching arm, Yes, right elbow. So they

211
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 4: shut him down. They're going to do an MRI and

212
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 4: we'll see where it is. It might be much ado

213
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 4: about nothing, it might be something more significant than that.

214
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 4: The other nugget I'm trying to process Twins related is

215
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 4: it sounds like Byron Buckston's matters hell and he's not

216
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 4: going to take it anymore. And he met the Jackals

217
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 4: I think it was yesterday sometime over the weekend, and

218
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 4: he said, you know, I got something stuck in my crow.

219
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 4: I don't understand why. You know, the organization. They could

220
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 4: have shut down all the trade rumors in the off

221
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 4: season and they didn't do that. And he seemed bothered

222
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 4: by that. Here's my question to you and I you

223
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 4: know me, I'm the last person who generally stands tall

224
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 4: for the Minnesota Twins organization from ownership on down.

225
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 3: But I don't think I'm making this up. Sometime in

226
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 3: the last several months.

227
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 4: Either late during the season or after the season, one

228
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 4: of the local shock jocks reported, and I don't know

229
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 4: if there was ever a direct quote or it was

230
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 4: the old Okay, I know this. He's not necessarily going

231
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 4: to go on with it or go with it on

232
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 4: the record, but I know it to be true that

233
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 4: he was revisiting he being Buckston, was revisiting his earlier stance,

234
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 4: which was I got a no trade clause, I'm I'm here,

235
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 4: I'm twin for life, and that he had even you know,

236
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 4: there was indication that he might be reconsidering that, and

237
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 4: the assumption was it had something to do with a

238
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 4: lot of the decisions, the possibility that twins might trade

239
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 4: one or both of their starting you know, the pictures

240
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 4: that that's towards the top of the rotation, maybe continuing

241
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 4: to reduce the payroll even more than they have.

242
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 3: I I don't know all the.

243
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 4: All the permutations, but I don't think I I'm making

244
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 4: that up.

245
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 5: I know we talked about it. I feel like we

246
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 5: talked about it. Yeah, that I'm looking for it right now.

247
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 4: I think it was ever a direct quote from him

248
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 4: on that, but that was the indication that was given,

249
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 4: so to that extent, I'm going, well, I mean, maybe

250
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 4: the organization didn't even know if you wanted it shut down.

251
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 4: If you're sending out that vibe, maybe it's something that

252
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 4: they assumed was not necessarily going to be an issue,

253
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 4: no matter what the organization's position might have been on

254
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 4: that right. So that's the part that you know.

255
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 5: That would be my comeback to Buck would be I wait, Now,

256
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 5: he might deny it, like I said. He may say, well,

257
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 5: I never said that, even if somebody else reported it

258
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 5: as if there was some truth to it.

259
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 3: So I don't know that that's the now it.

260
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 4: I guess it would be different if we find out

261
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 4: and I don't know if this was covered in the pressure,

262
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 4: if Buck goes to management and says in the off season, hey,

263
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 4: I need you to shut this down whatever has been written.

264
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 4: I don't want to go anywhere, and I don't want

265
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 4: to hear my name bandied about. I'm here. You know

266
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,719
Speaker 4: you can't do anything without my approval, and I'm not

267
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 4: going to approve anything. You know, I'm staying here. I

268
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 4: guess that's possible that they did that. But in the

269
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 4: world in which we live, we live in a world

270
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 4: in which now more than ever, a coach and most

271
00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 4: assurely an athlete, especially a world class athlete, has ways

272
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 4: on his or her own to announce whatever they want to.

273
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 4: They don't need Johnny Athletic. They they don't need Aaron Gleman, right,

274
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 4: they don't need anybody like that. They can just so, couldn't.

275
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 4: He also just made a proclamation. Hey, by the way,

276
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 4: I don't know what about these rumors. I ain't going anywhere.

277
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 4: It just seemed like he was protesting too much, given

278
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 4: the door allegedly had been opened at some point. Correct,

279
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 4: did you find the story? I want to say it was.

280
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 3: Was it Athletic? Not Gleaman? But who is it? Dan Hayes?

281
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 3: Could have been Dan hay I don't know.

282
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 5: I don't think it was Haes. I thought it was Bigger.

283
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 5: I thought it was the original Nightingale. Oh you that's

284
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 5: that might be right?

285
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 3: You might be right. That's who I'm looking. I'm going

286
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 3: back over some of his tweets because I remember it correct,

287
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 3: so I, you know whatever.

288
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 5: But I couldn't find the actual story yet, but I'll

289
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 5: find it now that I've been charged with it. I

290
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 5: will find it because we definitely talked about it. Yeah,

291
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 5: now that again, like you said, could have just been

292
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 5: speculation that might have been that might not have been

293
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 5: like right from Buckston's camp. That might have been something

294
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 5: that was heard at the winter meetings, because I think

295
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 5: that's when it was. Yeah, might be right that there

296
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 5: might be some indications. But you're right Byron Buxton. He

297
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 5: has the ability to do what he wants. Here's the

298
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 5: weird thing about it.

299
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 4: See to me, I would think, if I'm Buckston and

300
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 4: I'm I'm watching what's going on around me, all the uncertainty,

301
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 4: I'd want there to be some uncertainty, but I wouldn't

302
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 4: want to be counted on. I'd want them to wonder

303
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 4: about what I'm thinking. Right, Yes, because he does have

304
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 4: I think a little bit of leverage at this point.

305
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 4: He played he had a really good year last year

306
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 4: and played a lot he did. Now can he sustain that?

307
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 4: We don't know. But I don't think with his contract,

308
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 4: you know, And I know there'd be great interest in

309
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 4: Buckston if he said I went out of this place.

310
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, God, his contract is tremendous.

311
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 5: It's just it's it's it's odd to think that he

312
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 5: was almost annoyed or sounds annoyed. That last thing I

313
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 5: want is anybody to think that I might want to

314
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 5: leave the Minnesota Twins.

315
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 3: Okay, God bless you.

316
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 4: I don't think it's a long line in that regard,

317
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 4: But if that's what you want to go with, that's

318
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 4: that's fine for me.

319
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 3: But I did think the uh that was.

320
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 4: And maybe there's more to it next time we have

321
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 4: gleamanon or someone else. Maybele Lobel has some insight into that.

322
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 4: But that was my initial reaction to is like, why

323
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 4: is he It wasn't there a story. Again, it wasn't

324
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 4: his quote, right, but it seemed to indicate that, you know,

325
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 4: and in fact he even had there was some point,

326
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 4: either late in the season or in the postseason or

327
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 4: after the season, when he had expressed a little bit

328
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 4: more of an edge regarding this team that he had before.

329
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 4: And I think a lot of us thought, well, maybe

330
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 4: that's the first sign there's a little crack there. It

331
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 4: may not be a schism, but there might be a

332
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 4: little bit of crack. But you know, a little bit

333
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 4: of distance between the organization and Byron Buckston, who has

334
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 4: had to try to stand talk who to stand tall with.

335
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 5: I got a no trade clause. I want to be

336
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 5: with the Minnesota Twins. I don't want to mess with

337
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 5: anything else. The other place where I'll defend the Twins too,

338
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 5: is we've clearly seen the last couple of months it

339
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 5: was an organization in some turmoil and transition with people

340
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 5: in that. Yeah, that's a good point. I mean not

341
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 5: knowing who the boss was going to be a great point.

342
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 5: And the boss is not even knowing if they were

343
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 5: going to be there. Yes, as much as it looked

344
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 5: like Falve and Scheltz, Shelti looks great when they watched

345
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 5: by us at the Target Center cage, I think on

346
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 5: January twentieth or whenever that was. Oh, there was a

347
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 5: lot going on. Here's this we find the intrepid listeners

348
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 5: thinks he's found it was that was passing? Is it

349
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 5: Jeff Passing?

350
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 3: Okay?

351
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 4: Quote Buxton is willing to waive his no trade clause,

352
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 4: and not just for Atlanta. He's a Google, He's a

353
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 4: Georgia native, which puts the Twins in an interesting position

354
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 4: if Buckston goes, Does that mean the Twins would be

355
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 4: open to dealing some of their pitching too?

356
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 5: Now I don't have a date. I was going to say,

357
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 5: when is that? That doesn't sound like what we talked

358
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:04,239
Speaker 5: about that. That's more direct. Yeah, but I thought it

359
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 5: was somebody local, like you said, Uh.

360
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 4: I thought it might have been Hayes. You said you

361
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 4: thought it might have been Start Tribune guy, right, I

362
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 4: thought it was the USA Today, a Nightingale senior. You're

363
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 4: saying so now, Buckston again could say, well, I'm not

364
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 4: quoted in here. I can't be held responsible for Jackals

365
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 4: making stuff up. But Passing is a very thorough and

366
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 4: fair reporter. He's not a guy who generally is known

367
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 4: to make stuff up. So that would indicate agent or

368
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 4: somebody saying something about it. And that's where I'm just

369
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 4: wonder if this is like a double game being Come on, man,

370
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 4: you're you're all upset about this.

371
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 3: They didn't shut it down.

372
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,719
Speaker 4: Well, if your agent or somebody around you was leaking

373
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 4: previously that you would be willing to trade an oak

374
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 4: trade clause, it's it comes off a little self righteous

375
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 4: now and almost a little disingenuous that I'm I can't

376
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 4: believe that the Twins wouldn't, you know, wouldn't shut it

377
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 4: all down?

378
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 3: Are you keep looking?

379
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 5: When we come back, Well, yeah, that's Passing from December

380
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 5: from early December, which would have been Okay, yeah, all.

381
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 4: Right, not that long, not that far off really, just

382
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 4: a couple of months ago. We'll get to Johnny on

383
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,200

00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 4: to some other other very controversial subjects, not just from

388

Speaker 4: the world of basketball, maybe even the world of professional

389
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 4: football as well.

390
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:42,160

Speaker 4: question for you. Let me see if I can find the post.

396
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 3: I'm gonna what's on X So you know it's got

397
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 3: to be true? Right?

398
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 7: Oh boy, here we go, Florida.

399
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 4: Grandmother drove the same car for fifty three years and

400
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 4: then the odometer hit five hundred and sixty seven thousand miles.

401
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 4: Rachel Vich's life story cannot be told on mentioning her car,

402
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:28,479
Speaker 4: a nineteen sixty four Mercury Comet Caliente, she lovingly named

403
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 4: La Cherry Up. By the time she finally stopped driving,

404
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 4: the odometer read five hundred and sixty seven thousand miles.

405
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 3: That's more than the distance from Earth to the Moon

406
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 3: and back. Can you I'm sure you your big car guy, yeah,

407
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 3: in your blue.

408
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 4: Collar Johnny athletic days. What's the most number of miles

409
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 4: you ever ended up on the odometer?

410
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 6: Did you?

411
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: Did you?

412
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 5: Can you approach five hundred and sixty seven thousand miles?

413
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 7: Nothing even close to that, I want to say, I

414
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 7: think the highest I've gotten we as would wake way

415
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 7: back in the day. The first car I ever had,

416
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 7: my dad bought a Ford F one fifty, one hundred

417
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 7: and fifty dollars and we, uh, you kind of redid

418
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 7: the engine and and did some work on it, and

419
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 7: I think we got that one up to maybe one

420
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 7: hundred and ninety eight thousand, close to two hundred thousand.

421
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 7: But I don't think I've ever been over two hundred

422
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 7: thousand on a vehicle. And so you know that they

423
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 7: just don't make them like they used to. The Mercury

424
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 7: Comet Caliente. What I wonder what the package is for

425
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 7: the Caliente version merchant something great.

426
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 3: Good question.

427
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, didn't Lori Fisher? Isn't she over two hundred thousand

428
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 4: miles on her PRIs?

429
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 3: I believe so. Yeah, I believes.

430
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 4: That's impressive of its own to be in this day

431
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 4: and age. YEP, I think to even get over two

432
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 4: hundred thousand, I'm pretty sure she surpassed to That sounds right.

433
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 3: My Honda Cord got over two hundred k Is that right?

434
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 3: It did? That's good until like last summer two summers ago.

435
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 4: And the Accord. What about seventy two miles to the gallon?

436
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 3: It's unbelievable.

437
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 5: I mean it's like it's it's unbelievable. Sufficient vehicles have

438
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 5: ever made. It's unbelievable. Yeah, got to fill it up

439
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 5: like once a month. Maybe it's true. K, that's what

440
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 5: it is. I just saw that out.

441
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 3: Of nowhere, and I thought it was kind of fun

442
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 3: and kind of interesting. Yeah.

443
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 4: Questions I mentioned for for Johnny we can put into

444
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 4: the mix before we talk basketball and maybe All Star Game.

445
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 4: As much as they don't really want to, I do

446
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 4: want to catch up on the Purple. Do you have

447
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 4: among the the the I guess realistic candidates to be

448
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 4: the veteran to come in to either compete for the

449
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 4: job or be available if JJ McCarthy flames out or

450
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 4: gets injured again, do you have somebody that you say,

451
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 4: I'm not going to give a name that's great but

452
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 4: is not realistic. I'm gonna give you a name it

453
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 4: is realistic, who I also think might be intriguing.

454
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I you know, obviously there's so much

455
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 7: I don't know why there's so much Kyler Murray discussion,

456
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 7: because I don't feel like he's a great fit for

457
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 7: what Kevin O'Connell wants to do, for how the Vikings

458
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 7: want to run their offense. But he's obviously a big name.

459
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,239
Speaker 7: I mean. A couple of names that stick out to

460
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 7: me at least as intriguing are mac Jones. I don't

461
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 7: know what it would cost to get him, but I

462
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 7: imagine it would be fairly significant. But I think that,

463
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 7: you know, kind of following a similar path that Darnold

464
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 7: followed to get here would be an ideal scenario. The

465
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 7: other one that I really like a lot, but again

466
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 7: maybe too expensive. Malik Willis is a guy that I

467
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 7: was I always was really intrigued about in the draft.

468
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 7: I thought that the Vikings should have taken a look

469
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 7: at him as he fell down the board. And I

470
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 7: think he has sort of revived his career in Green

471
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 7: Bay and and and at least has the physical tools

472
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 7: and has some experience that he could come in and

473
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 7: would be an interesting option. Again, I'm not sure what

474
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 7: the price tag would be, and you know, if you'd

475
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 7: have to guarantee him a starting spot opposite JJ, I

476
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 7: don't know, but those are two names that at least

477
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 7: stand out to me a.

478
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 3: Little bit your favorite John.

479
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 4: You know, we mentioned earlier the ratings which confirm that

480
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 4: we love watching the Winter Olympics. In this market, we

481
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 4: were tied for number one with what I say, I

482
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 4: think it was a Florida four Myers, I believe it

483
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 4: or not, and us tied for the highest ranking rating

484
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,239
Speaker 4: in terms of watching the Winter Olympics. And as you know,

485
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 4: half of four Myers used to live in Minnesota.

486
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 7: So I was gonna say, how many of us are down?

487
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 3: Exactly?

488
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, that excuse it.

489
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 5: So what's Johnny athletics favorite Winter Olympics viewing opportunity or option?

490
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 7: People are going to laugh at me for this. I

491
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 7: do love watching Olympic hockey. I I am not patronizing.

492
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 7: This is not in all of branch because we will

493
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 7: have plenty of battles. I will take the branch back

494
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 7: as soon as the NHL starts again. I really do

495
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 7: enjoy that, But you know, if you want to go

496
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 7: a little bit off of the conventional pass, I really

497
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 7: do love watching Bob said and blob sled and louge

498
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 7: like it's just like the speed of it. And like

499
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 7: this year, following the drones down the shoot with with

500
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 7: the losures, it has been super cool to watch that

501
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 7: and it really gives you a new appreciation for how

502
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 7: fast they're going and and just how kind of dangerous

503
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 7: it really is. I mean, that's one of those things

504
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 7: where I look at and just like, there's no way

505
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 7: you can pay me enough to do something like that.

506
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 7: But but I I really kind of enjoy that, and

507
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 7: the NBC viewing of having the drones behind it it unbelievable.

508
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 3: You know, I can remember covering a luge event. I

509
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 3: don't know, this might have been Calgary, Sia.

510
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 4: I'm not sure which one it was, but what struck

511
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 4: me is it's the worst place from which to cover

512
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 4: set event because as you know, and you can you

513
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 4: get some sense of this on TV, but nothing like

514
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 4: when you're right beside a portion of the track there

515
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 4: by you in an instant and then they're gone, you know,

516
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 4: and you're waiting I guess.

517
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 3: The next one. And unless they happen to crash right

518
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 3: around where you are, there ain't nothing you can really

519
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 3: get out of it, other than you do get a

520
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 3: sense of the speed. I mean, that's the one reason to.

521
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 4: Do it is just oh my god, the TV can't

522
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 4: even begin to capture it. But otherwise you're like, oh, well,

523
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 4: I got to get to the press area, I got

524
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 4: to get to the end of it whatever, because I

525
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 4: have no idea what.

526
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 3: The hell is going on to lose from this spot

527
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 3: because they're here and they're gone in an instant.

528
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 7: Yeah. Absolutely. Like the one Winter Olympics I did cover

529
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 7: in Sochi, I did not get out to the mountain

530
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 7: or see any scheme, to see any luge or bob sledding.

531
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 7: I was kind of more in the village area, and

532
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 7: so I missed that, But I do. I did have

533
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 7: some friends who covered that particular event and they said

534
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 7: the same thing. It's like, look, I just have to

535
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 7: sit in the media center and watch it on TV,

536
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 7: because there's just no way to be able to kind

537
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 7: of look at the bigger picture, really understand what's going

538
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 7: on and see what happens if you're actually out watching

539
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 7: it live at the you know, at the track or

540
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 7: whatever you want to call it. So but yeah, it is.

541
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 7: It's one of those things where he probably just have

542
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 7: to watch it on TV. But man, it's like those guys,

543
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 7: especially the losers, like if they moved even like a

544
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 7: quarter of an inch the wrong way, they're gone. Yeah,

545
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 7: the body control and everything that it takes to do

546
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 7: that is it's incredible.

547
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 3: All right.

548
00:26:55,040 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 5: So well, yesterday Victor Wembanyama made some new with a

549
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 5: statement that should be self evident but is radical and

550
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 5: profound in twenty twenty six, it's the game.

551
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 3: We love being competitive as the least I can do.

552
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 4: And Anthony Edwards credited the Victor approach in the All

553
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 4: Star Game is kind of bringing him along. And I

554
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 4: think previously you reminded us Anthony has not exactly been

555
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 4: blue collar at the All Star Game.

556
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 3: He seems kind of bored with all of it.

557
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 4: So do we buy the notion that Victor's the key

558
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 4: to whatever? If you want to call it revolution took

559
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 4: place at least for Anthony Edwards.

560
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 3: Or is that Anthony Edwards just being nice?

561
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 7: No, I actually think that Ant is being genuine there

562
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 7: because I've been at All Star games with Ant in

563
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 7: the past. I did not go this year in part

564
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 7: because I did not think he was going to play,

565
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 7: or if he did play, I did not think he

566
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 7: was gonna play hard. That was me being honest. Yeah,

567
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 7: like he he has not shown any interest in competing

568
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 7: at a high level in those things. And to his

569
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 7: in fairness to him, a lot of the elders who

570
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 7: came before him and were setting the stage that he

571
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 7: was living by and learning from, they weren't exactly setting

572
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 7: a good example. So you know, he kind of just

573
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 7: followed the pass. But there was They showed an exchange

574
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 7: before the first game when it was the Stripes versus

575
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 7: the World and they were all backstage getting ready to

576
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 7: go out, and Wemby said to Aunt and stared at

577
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 7: him and said, I've got you. I'm guarding you, and

578
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 7: Aunt body was it looked like he was smiling at

579
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 7: persons that iye, he's kind of joking. And then he

580
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 7: looked and understood that Wemby wasn't joking, and I do

581
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 7: think that stokes some fire. I really do, like I

582
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 7: have not seen Anthony Edwards compete like that in that

583
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 7: kind of a situation. I think, Like, I think the

584
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 7: format helped as well, because it was just twelve minutes

585
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 7: in each of these stretches, so you could just go.

586
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 7: But I do think that Wemby got to aunt and said, hey,

587
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 7: he said, I'm coming right at you, So that like

588
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 7: really appealed to Anthony's just machismo and like, I got

589
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 7: to I better stand up for myself. I'm gonna get embarrassed.

590
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 7: And to his credit, man, he played great and he

591
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 7: really responded to it.

592
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 5: The best suggestion or idea you have either read or

593
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 5: heard regarding the league's tanking issue and how to address.

594
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 7: It, Yeah, it's so difficult, Dan, because I mean there's

595
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 7: a million ideas out there and everyone says, this is it,

596
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 7: It's this simple, you do this, and I just don't

597
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 7: think there is a magic bullet solution. You can say,

598
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 7: get rid of the draft. But I don't like that

599
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 7: idea because then you're going to have shoe companies and

600
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 7: other sponsors really pushing the best of the best to

601
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 7: go to New York or LA or places like this,

602
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 7: and there's going to be so much on it, so

603
00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 7: many unintended consequences with that, and so I where I've landed,

604
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 7: And I don't think it's perfect, but I think expanding

605
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 7: the pool of lot of re eligible teams to those

606
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 7: eliminated in the first round of the playoffs and then

607
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 7: flattening those odds even more might get you as close

608
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 7: as possible to some sort of reasonable thing. So then

609
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 7: you can say, hey, we're going to go for the playoffs,

610
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 7: and if we make it, we're going to get extra

611
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 7: gate money from the tickets. And then also we'll have

612
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 7: the same odds as the team that finishes thirtieth in

613
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 7: the league, and so something like that, I feel like

614
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 7: it's both digestible for the fan and then also might

615
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 7: have enough of an effect on the teams to say,

616
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 7: all right, this is the benefits of tanking are just

617
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 7: not going to be as much there that I think

618
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 7: that's as close as I've gotten to stand I could

619
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 7: get behind.

620
00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 3: That is money.

621
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 4: By NBA terms, a five hundred thousand dollars fine is considerable,

622
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 4: but for a billionaire, I don't know is if if

623
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 4: it's tipped money or not. I think the only way

624
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 4: you get anybody's attention is if you start pulling draft

625
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 4: choices or you say, well, now instead of having the

626
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 4: greatest percentage chance, you're down with a zero point five

627
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 4: percent chance at the very least at the bottom. You

628
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 4: were taking away any of the advantage you thought you

629
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 4: were going to get being towards the top.

630
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 5: Is any of does that you know? Does that sound

631
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 5: right to you? I just don't think money as a

632
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 5: fine is going to have any impact.

633
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, I agree that money does not have an impact then,

634
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 7: because let's just take a look at the Timberwolves for instance.

635
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 7: All right, they did do some tanking to get to

636
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 7: a point where they drafted Anthony Edbits. Yeah, at the

637
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 7: time that Anthony Edwards comes in number one overall, this

638
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 7: team was you know, I mean, the value of the team,

639
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 7: the success of the team, all of that was in

640
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 7: the tank in the gutter like you might have been.

641
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 7: You might not have been able to sell him for

642
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 7: a billion dollars at that time. Ant comes in, one

643
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 7: player essentially has reshaped this franchise and now they're probably

644
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 7: going to build a new arena because of Anthony Edward.

645
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 7: They sold for one point five billion but they're worth

646
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 7: three three and a half four billion. Now, there's just

647
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 7: too much to be gained by getting that one superstar player.

648
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 7: And happened with the Warriors with Steph Curry, happened with

649
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 7: the Cavaliers with Lebron, a million examples, and so I

650
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 7: just don't think that there is a price tag you

651
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 7: can put on this that's high enough for the owners

652
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 7: to not risk doing it. For instance, this year, everyone

653
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 7: believes that like like the top two or three guys

654
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 7: might all be franchise altering players, and so five hundred

655
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 7: thousand dollars is not going to deter the Jazz from

656
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 7: trying to get that guy. You know, it's you know,

657
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 7: a million dollars is not going to deter the Sacramento

658
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 7: Kings from trying to get that guy. And so until

659
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 7: you get some kind of penalties that are more damaging

660
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 7: than the bottom line, because the bottom line can be

661
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 7: increased so much by getting that one star player, I

662
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 7: just don't think it's going to have any kind of

663
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 7: effect on deterring tanking tactics.

664
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 4: I don't know if Finchy is much of a delivering

665
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,959
Speaker 4: a speech or a message guy, but if he is,

666
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 4: what do you think it's going to be now that

667
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 4: you know, we'll get there at the end of the week.

668
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 4: They finally play I think on Friday, and now you're

669
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 4: down to just a handful of games, right, well, you

670
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 4: know what, twenty six games left. What do you think

671
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 4: the finchy message is going to be to his group

672
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 4: at this point?

673
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean this is not a guess. This is

674
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 7: pretty educated on my part, Dan that I think that

675
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 7: the message is going to be when they come back.

676
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 7: It's like, all right, the hardest part of the regular

677
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 7: is over. We're through this blog of it. You guys

678
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 7: got a week off to rest and relax and recharge,

679
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 7: and now let's take a look at the Western Conference

680
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 7: landscape and this thing is wide open, and what it's

681
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 7: going to take for the Timberwolves to become a true

682
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 7: viable contender in the Western Conference and to take that

683
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 7: final step is going to be some sacrifice on the

684
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 7: part of every player that's going to get minutes, and

685
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 7: that means sacrificing. Some people are going to sacrifice shots,

686
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 7: some people are going to sacrifice minutes, some people are

687
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 7: going to sacrifice offense for increase the defensive effort. But

688
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 7: I think it's going to be a lot of preaching

689
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 7: about the selflessness that they're going to have to show

690
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 7: that they have not shown to this point, because the

691
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 7: opportunity for them to not just win a couple of series,

692
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 7: to not just get to the finals, but to actually

693
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:04,720
Speaker 7: win this thing is realistic. It's not likely, it doesn't

694
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 7: you know, they're not the favorite, but this is a

695
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 7: real possibility that is in front of them. And if

696
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 7: they can do those things, and if they can give

697
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 7: themselves up for the team, they're going to have a

698
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 7: real shot at this. And I think that's going to

699
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 7: be a lot of the message that they hear when

700
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 7: they come back from whatever beach they are on these

701
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 7: last these last couple of days before the break ends.

702
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 3: In other words, what you're saying is stop being so moody.

703
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 3: So what he's going to say?

704
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 7: Yes, yeah, I And And honestly, Dan, I do think

705
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 7: the coaching staff has to take some of the practice

706
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 7: what they preach as well. Right this is this is

707
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 7: that everyone has been under a lot of pressure and

708
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 7: a lot of stress. And you know, I had a

709
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 7: conversation with Chris Pinch and I wrote about this before

710
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 7: the season started at the Athletic and Finch started the

711
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 7: training camp with his coaches looking around the room and saying,

712
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 7: I want everyone to go around the room and say,

713
00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 7: what is your pinch me moment of being in the

714
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 7: end in terms, So this was a whole thing of like, hey,

715
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 7: let's recognize that this is pretty darn cool. What we

716
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 7: get to do is amazing. And that was Frankly, when

717
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 7: he told me that story, it surprised me a little

718
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 7: bit because I just didn't think that he had that

719
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 7: kind of perspective in him. But I think the coaches

720
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 7: have to have that and the players have to have that.

721
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 7: Now there's got to be a lot more of uh

722
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 7: of appreciation and enjoyment. And it sounds kind of hunky

723
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 7: dory and it sounds kind of kumbay ab, But this

724
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 7: is a team that kind of has not been able

725
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 7: to stop and smell the roses a little bit, and

726
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 7: it gets a little bit too down on itself and

727
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 7: and and gets too mired in the muck of the

728
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,839
Speaker 7: daily day of the day to day grind. And they've

729
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 7: got to enjoy themselves a little bit more, and they've

730
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 7: got to they've got to lighten that load. And I

731
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 7: think the coaches have.

732
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 4: To as well, can you answer a question offered up

733
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 4: from a gentleman who refers to himself as Minneapolis hockey guy.

734
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 7: We'll to do the best I can.

735
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 3: Here's what he has.

736
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 4: It's very in depth question for Johnny on the Wild

737
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 4: in their current era and the Wolves of three to

738
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 4: five years ago. Does Johnny view the Wild in this

739
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 4: squishy middle struggling to get by the first round, needing

740
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 4: to make a big shift on the roster like the

741
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 4: Wolves did by getting Rudy and others. Are they at

742
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 4: the same wait for it, inflection point or do you

743
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 4: hear them differently?

744
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 3: What would Johnny do if he were Billy G?

745
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 7: I think that I and I say this with all sincerity,

746
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 7: and I said this after the Quinn Youth Trade. I

747
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 7: loved that move because it was much like the Wolves were.

748
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 7: Kind of they were just bad. The Wolves were just bad.

749
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 7: But but the Wild were stuck in this middle ground,

750
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 7: this mediocrity, and kind of waiting and waiting for something

751
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 7: to go their way. And what Billy G decided to

752
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 7: do was say, we're not I'm not going to wait

753
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 7: any longer. I'm going to try and make something happened here.

754
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 7: And so he gave up a lot, but he went

755
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 7: and got the guy. And that's exactly what Tim Connelly

756
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 7: did with Rudy Gobert is He's like, I'm tired of waiting,

757
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 7: and even though that was his first year on the job,

758
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 7: he looked around, we don't need to wait anymore. We're

759
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 7: going to get the guy. And that really did work

760
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 7: for the Wolves, and I do think that the Wild

761
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 7: in some similar way, had this huge piano on their

762
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 7: backs of all of this playoff failure and falling short

763
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 7: again and again, and they've been mediocre for most of

764
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 7: their existence, and so the way that taking that big swing,

765
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 7: that was exactly what I would have done. And we'll

766
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 7: see how it pans out. The playoffs and hockey are crazy,

767
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 7: but I do applaud the guts to do that and

768
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 7: to take that risk and give up future for the

769
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 7: present because it had gotten way too stagnant around here.

770
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 7: And so we'll see if it pans out for them.

771
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 7: But I do see some similarities to the to the

772
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 7: Texter's point about the Wolves going for Rudy and paint

773
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 7: a huge ransom for him and the Wild going for

774
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 7: Quinn Houghton.

775
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 3: Doing that I want to finish with.

776
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 7: But they got to win, Dan, But they gotta win.

777
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 7: They gotta win. The Wolves have won, the Wild have

778
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 7: not done that.

779
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 3: He had to throw it in there.

780
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 4: You had to stick the needle in at the end,

781
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 4: didn't you perfectly gone along, perfectly fine, and then at

782
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 4: the very end, here comes here comes the jab.

783
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 5: Well, hopefully Nathan McKinnon's injured in the second round of

784
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 5: the playoffs like Steph Curry was last year. You know,

785
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 5: to give you a by, is that from you or

786
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 5: from a fallness? It's for fallness. I'm just getting ahead

787
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 5: of it. I'm just getting ahead.

788
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 7: Hey. Every team has a little bit of luck here

789
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 7: and there, and so you just you can only play

790
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,320
Speaker 7: the team that's in front of you. Who knows what happened.

791
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 7: Maybe Steph would have been there and they would have

792
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 7: locked in even further and finished the Warriors off and six,

793
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 7: and it would have been even greater, greater win. But

794
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:51,919
Speaker 7: all they can do is play the team in front

795
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 7: of them.

796
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,959
Speaker 4: Two favorite questions to wrap things up with The Giant

797
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 4: Athletic brought to you by RBC Wealth Management. Your favorite

798
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 4: Robert Duvall role or film man.

799
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 7: I love duval so much, it's gonna be cliche but

800
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 7: I mean him is Tom Hagen, Like I watched The

801
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 7: Godfather five, I probably do. Like it's just like how

802
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 7: do you? But I say an underrated one. Yes, is

803
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 7: the kind of crew chief in Days of Thunder, Like

804
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 7: I really just enjoyed him in that Tom Cruise movie. Like,

805
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 7: I mean, he's just he had fun with the role.

806
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 7: He really had good chemistry with Cruise, a lot of

807
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 7: funny moments, just a super like human job by him.

808
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 7: And so that would be my of the off the

809
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 7: grid choice. But I mean Tom Hagen is iconic.

810
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 4: Lastly, I've been informed by my former radio partner that

811
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:55,280
Speaker 4: he believes the final Chad and Barrero show took place

812
00:40:55,320 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 4: twenty five years ago today today. Now I'm terrible any

813
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 4: of that. I couldn't even begin to tell you. But

814
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 4: that's what he's thinking.

815
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 3: Guards. He's shaking his head. You don't believe it in

816
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,760
Speaker 3: two thousand and one. Is that the math?

817
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:10,399
Speaker 5: Uh?

818
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:11,839
Speaker 7: That's the math?

819
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 4: That would be the math. But I didn't start it.

820
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 4: I thought I started in two two thousand and two. Anyway, regardless,

821
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 4: I was going to ask you for your favorite Chadd

822
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 4: in Barrero moment. I know what guardis is, but I'm

823
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 4: trying to find out what I've got A few.

824
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 7: Yeah, I will say this. I'll put this out there

825
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 7: right now on on live radio. One thing that has

826
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 7: been sitting in the back of my mind as a

827
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 7: piece that I have wanted to do for the athletic

828
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 7: is a chadd In Burrero retros. Really, so, will you

829
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 7: commit on live radio here to a two hour sit

830
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 7: down to open up the vein and let's reconstruct it.

831
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 7: Let's live the highs and the lows, let's laugh and

832
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 7: lie about it, and and let's do a on the

833
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:01,000

Speaker 4: Yeah here, here's well, I'm more than willing to cooperate.

835
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 4: My problem is my memory. I'm not as good.

836
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 3: I'm not as good at others, including Chad, at remembering

837
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 3: nuggets or guards you even It's almost like I don't

838
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 3: and I don't think this is an age thing. This

839
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 3: is how we should do it quick then, to make

840
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 3: sure it doesn't get worse. I don't think it's that

841
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I do it, Yeah, for sure,

842

Speaker 7: I will find people to fill in the gap. The

844
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 7: problem is worry about Yeah.

845
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure it was two thousand and two when I, uh,

846
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 4: maybe I'm wrong. Maybe, I mean he he allegedly has

847
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 4: charted this out.

848
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:36,360

856
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,200

864

Speaker 5: that's true. We could do it with a I now easily.

865
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 5: Those choirs did it for every sports radio station in

866
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 5: the country.

867
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,239

884
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,839
Speaker 5: I will admit that when I've said two thousand and

885
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 5: two a lot of times, it's I got that year

886
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 5: in my head, never really checked it and all that much.

887
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 5: So he's saying, it's definitely well, let me try it

888
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 5: this way. Yeah, because you'll have a memory of this,

889
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 5: I would think, ye, because I actually I trust Chad

890
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 5: on this too. September eleventh, were you by yourself or

891
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:08,080

892
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 5: two thousand and one, Yeah, nine to eleven.

893
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I don't honestly don't remember. So on

894
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 4: that basis we would have been still together. No, it

895
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:18,439
Speaker 4: would have been apart.

896
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, today, Yeah, that does make now that now they

897
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 5: that does kind of ring a bell because that would

898
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 5: have still been when we were in bloom City, Dinah

899
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 5: wherever the Northwest they formerly Northwest Bank building. Uh there,

900
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 5: So yeah, that does make sense. Actually, that's that's very,

901
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 5: very true, davey uh the favorite and by the way,

902
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 5: for just joining us. Chad had texted me a belief

903
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 5: that today, twenty five years ago, is the last Chadd

904
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:45,280
Speaker 5: burreaw show.

905
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:47,760
Speaker 3: I wish we had that our show. So then.

906
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 4: There's I asked Johnny Athletic for his favorite Chatt Burrell moment.

907
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,879
Speaker 3: He didn't really have one. That's okay, you have, I'm

908
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 3: sure dozens of Chatdenburrough highs.

909
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, but they've kind of most they've been intermixed now

910
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 5: because I've worked with both of you for like two decades.

911
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 5: That's true, and I don't even remember what's real. I

912
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 5: do remember vividly after school one day listening in my

913
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 5: room five zero zero six Bruce Avenue. Top of the

914
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 5: steps to the left was my bedroom. I'm guessing I was.

915
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 5: I had to be cleaning my room because I was

916
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 5: either in trouble or I wanted something, and you guys

917
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 5: opened the show because it started at three, right.

918
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 3: It was, well, for a while it was like three.

919
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 4: It might have been three to six, might have been four,

920
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 4: four to seven. For no, I think it was three

921
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:35,879
Speaker 4: to six.

922
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 5: So I remember being in my room and you guys

923
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 5: were talking about something having to do with the meters

924
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 5: to go on to the freeway ramps.

925
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 3: Oh god, yes, we did. We did. We ran that

926
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 3: one into the.

927
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 5: So I caught it on one of the days and

928
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 5: I just but I just remember, and I don't remember

929
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 5: like being offended by it or going why aren't these

930
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 5: guys talking sports. I just remember that was the topic

931
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 5: while I was cleaning my room, and I think it

932
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 5: speaks to you know, people always say stick to sports. Well,

933
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:05,760
Speaker 5: didn't always do that, because that would have been mid nineties.

934
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 5: That would have been ninety five, ninety six. The other

935
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 5: Chatton Burreer moment that I just thought of would be

936
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 5: when you guys told me that the Timberwolves were leaving. Yeah,

937
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:17,479
Speaker 5: we have talked about that. Pamela Park, Yeah, getting ready

938
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 5: for and I think baseball.

939
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 4: I think we did that show from the former location

940
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:24,839
Speaker 4: that the Target Center cage was in. I think we

941
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 4: did it from Target Center belly of the beast. I'm

942
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 4: pretty sure we did that day or one of those

943
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:29,879
Speaker 4: days for sure.

944
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 3: So I remember.

945
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 5: I remember that that was not a good memory, because

946
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 5: as you know, the Timberwolves are my team No. From

947
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 5: nineteen eighty nine on. Well again, that was the day

948
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 5: it broke. And then what I remember about it is

949
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 5: I had to write about it, and so I get

950
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 5: done with the show and I go back to this

951
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 5: to the start, to be in a four twenty five

952
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 5: Portland that doesn't exist anymore, I don't think. And by

953
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 5: the time I get there, or a little after that,

954
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 5: is when the press release that changed everything came out

955
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 5: from David Stern, basically saying, in effect, not so fast,

956
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 5: my friend, there are a million hoops that were not

957
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 5: cleared here. We're not satisfied that this is the time

958
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 5: or place or that this team should be sold to

959
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,759
Speaker 5: any place in which it might leave Minnesota. And at

960
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 5: that point, because until then, it was almost like we're

961
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 5: all writing funeral dirges. We're singing funeral dirges, I guess

962
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:25,479
Speaker 5: I should say, and it's over.

963
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,240
Speaker 4: There's no looking back on it. There's just an assumption

964
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 4: that that was it because we all knew what the

965
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 4: arena situation was the Harvard marv situation was. And then

966
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 4: that simple statement opened the door to wait a minute,

967
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 4: this might not be as easy as we thought.

968
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 3: Maybe we shouldn't assume that this is going to happen.

969
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 5: And I feel like that realization happened while I was

970
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 5: at baseball. So I feel like I went to baseball

971
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 5: being just bitter and devastated. And then I got back

972
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 5: in the car and I'm assuming it was my mom.

973
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 5: Might have been my dad, Yeah, said Hey, the Wolve's

974
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 5: dream might not be dead paraphrasing.

975
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 3: So I do remember that swing of emotions.

976
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:09,479
Speaker 4: Time mark from Lakefield, Dan, how about the infamous Norm

977
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 4: Green interview with Chad? Didn't Norm commit to the interview

978
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 4: only if you weren't involved? That's true. In fact, we

979
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 4: did that show again my recollections. We did that show

980
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 4: from Tom Reid's and the deal was Green.

981
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 5: What would the would that have been literally the start

982
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 5: of the wild What would have been the reason to

983
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 5: do the show for me?

984
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 3: Probably?

985
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 4: And and and Chad got Green to agree to go on,

986
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 4: but that was the stipulation.

987
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:38,720
Speaker 3: Even though I was there.

988
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:42,800
Speaker 5: He said, I'm not doing the interview if Barrero was

989
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 5: involved in it. And then that becomes the editorial question is, well,

990
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 5: do you do you give? Is that giving too much

991
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 5: into the weasel norm Green? And I ultimately said no

992
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:55,799
Speaker 5: because I thought it's annoying, But I knew Chad would

993
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,319
Speaker 5: ask him, you know, good questions anyway. And secondly, it's

994
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 5: like it's too good to get on that day, so

995
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 5: he said, you got to put them on it. But

996
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 5: I had to, like, you know, go go get a wine, cool,

997
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 5: you hit a bucket of ball spritzer. You know, I

998
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:10,839
Speaker 5: would have walked across the street to Cassetta's And that's

999
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 5: what I would have done.

1000
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:16,800
Speaker 3: Very true. Uh.

1001
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 4: I don't know how well this was received, but I

1002
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 4: remember a stretch where Commed would play Send in the

1003
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 4: Clowns for his clothing music.

1004
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 3: I remember that leading your show. We all remember.

1005
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 5: I remember my dad saying that, like upon the transition,

1006
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 5: he's like he's playing sending the clowns.

1007
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:33,320
Speaker 3: I remember that very That's all, very very true, Davy.

1008
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 3: For sure. I loved hearing the Chad Bureau jingle again.

1009
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 3: My favorite where did it go? Here?

1010
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 7: All?

1011
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 4: For the shows when you had mystery guests that listeners

1012
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 4: could call in and try to guess after asking him

1013
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 4: one yes, or no question. Uh My mom, who was

1014
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 4: a huge fan of the show, called in and guessed

1015
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:57,839
Speaker 4: the guy you had on that day was Aunt Jemima,

1016
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 4: rendering you Chad and the history guest speechless guest. She

1017
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 4: also called in a few other times, one saying that

1018
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 4: on air that you reminded her of her late husband,

1019
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 4: Joe DiMaggio. You both thought it was a bit and

1020
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:12,880
Speaker 4: must have been somebody associated with the station disguising their

1021
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,680
Speaker 4: voice to sound like mister Bill was all in good fun,

1022
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:17,800
Speaker 4: but maybe she played a small role in the station

1023
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:20,280
Speaker 4: no longer taking calls from listeners.

1024
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:21,760
Speaker 3: That's from John.

1025
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 4: How about the guy taking a bath during the interview,

1026
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:27,760
Speaker 4: That was, of course Will McDonough, the legendary Boston Globe

1027
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 4: writer columnist, and then he ended up also on CBS

1028
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:37,800
Speaker 4: doing NFL stuff, a legend, not Sean McDonough, Will McDonough,

1029
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:43,320
Speaker 4: and he was the like the NFL the earliest examples

1030
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 4: of the NFL information guy, right. He had everything, a

1031
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,359
Speaker 4: lot of gossip, a lot of dirt, but a lot

1032
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 4: of good stuff, a lot of good reporting. And we

1033
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 4: could hear one of the occasions we had him on

1034
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:59,799
Speaker 4: splashing so it sounded like splashing and one of us

1035
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 4: eventually just asked him, Will are you?

1036
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 3: What are you?

1037
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 5: And he acknowledged he was taking a bubble bath. Will

1038
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 5: McDonald tough guy who once holcocked a New England Patriot

1039
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 5: player who challenged him, and he beat the crap out

1040
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 5: of him. The only time I think in the history

1041
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 5: of sports journalism in America where the journalist has been

1042
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 5: tougher than the player, was, you know, relaxing in a

1043
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 5: bubble bath when he chatted with us.

1044
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 3: It's pretty good. I bet it was a good conversation.

1045
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:31,319
Speaker 3: He is excellent. He's an excellent guest. He's absolutely excellent,

1046
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 3: excellent guest. All right, let's do this.

1047
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:36,400
Speaker 4: Let's pause, wrap up the program, remind you what you

1048
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 4: might have missed and what we might have coming up

1049
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 4: the rest of this very abyssie like weeks.

1050
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 5: Dan Show Rap is presented by American Pressure commercial grade

1051
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:48,799
Speaker 5: pressure Washers since nineteen seventy five.

1052
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,360
Speaker 3: It's the Bumper to Bumper Show Rap.

1053
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:12,799
Speaker 4: Do yourself a favorite tonight if you decide to watch

1054
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 4: a Robert Duvall movie, branch out from the big name

1055
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 4: films that you've probably already have seen and try to

1056
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 4: rent a picture called The Paper I just looked at

1057
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 4: a scene that, unfortunately we can't play because there's a

1058
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 4: couple of Eppenheimer's in it, in which Robert Duval plays

1059
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:32,400
Speaker 4: a big city New York tabloid editor, and it's a

1060
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:35,320
Speaker 4: scene in which he's complaining about columnists. He says, I

1061
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:39,360
Speaker 4: got two weeks, I got sports columns, I got metro columnists,

1062
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 4: I got lifestyle columnists, he said.

1063
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:43,839
Speaker 3: The only thing I don't have is any dead columnists.

1064
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:46,439
Speaker 3: And he plays such a.

1065
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:49,720
Speaker 4: Great role does Duval as an editor in this film,

1066
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 4: And chances are you haven't seen it, and I gotta

1067
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 4: believe it's gettable via the usual places you attempt to

1068
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 4: rent stuff like that. It's a very it's got a

1069
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 4: terrific cast beyond Duval and Keaton, and it does it

1070
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 4: gives you a little bit of a window into sort

1071
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 4: of the daily deadline grime, a grind, I should say,

1072
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:17,439
Speaker 4: of a major metropolitan tabloid newspaper. It's a really He's

1073
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 4: certainly done better movies, and this one's got a lot

1074
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 4: of melodrama in it, but it's entertaining as hell. I

1075
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 4: don't think it'd be disappointed. And as I mentioned, it's

1076
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 4: a great way to salute him as the quintessential crusty

1077
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:36,319
Speaker 4: newspaper editor, who also confides to Michael Keaton that he's

1078
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 4: got his problem at that moment is he's got to

1079
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 4: prostate the size of a bagel, which he says, part

1080
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:45,319
Speaker 4: of which is more information than Michael Keaton wants as

1081
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:46,240
Speaker 4: one of his reporters.

1082
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:47,919
Speaker 3: But he's definitely worth the time.

1083
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 4: Great text coming in today saluting Robert Duval who's passed

1084
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,319
Speaker 4: away at the age of ninety five years old. One

1085
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 4: also thank Tom Creen who joined us for an extensive

1086
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 4: conversation on a lot of good backs, basketball stuff, tanking stuff,

1087
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 4: wolves stuff, et cetera that was between four and about

1088
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 4: four thirty five, and the usual outstanding work from Johnny

1089
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:11,840
Speaker 4: Athletic who joined at five point thirty.

1090
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 3: Tomorrow, I'm assuming it's a Luigi day.

1091
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:17,399
Speaker 4: That's the plan right now at least, yes, we'll see

1092
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:19,839
Speaker 4: what he's up to, and then we got to, I guess,

1093
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 4: make some decisions on.

1094
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 3: Seaferts and whether we give him a little bit of break.

1095
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 4: There's because I don't think there's a lot new right

1096
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 4: now for the moment, but it'll it'll start picking up

1097
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:30,719
Speaker 4: again in no time.

1098
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:33,239
Speaker 3: I'm thinking right combines like a week away. Isn't that close?

1099
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 3: It's within the next couple of weeks. Yeah.

1100
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 4: Is there a snow nomi heading our way or is

1101
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna stay north of here. I think

1102
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 4: we're supposed there's supposed to be a lot of snow. I

1103
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:44,279
Speaker 4: think we're supposed to end up with rain, yeah or

1104
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 4: not once the I don't think the temperature is gonna

1105
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:49,240
Speaker 4: be cold enough for us to get a snow nomi. Thursday, Friday,

1106
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 4: maybe a little snow okay, but nothing. But the rest

1107
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 4: this week is right, very very serious. Dan, speaking of

1108
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,319
Speaker 4: the Chaddon Burrero days, how about your meltdown over your

1109
00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 4: experience with the Calhoun Square or the square formerly known

1110
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 4: as Calhoun Florist Lavaranda.

1111
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 3: Would love to hear that one again.

1112
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:08,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, that I was at war with a with a

1113
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:11,399
Speaker 4: flower shop, which is a story we can tell again,

1114
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:14,400
Speaker 4: perhaps on tomorrow's show. And it was one of the

1115
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:18,839
Speaker 4: few times where Bosberg eventually came in during a break

1116
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 4: and said, are you about done with the.

1117
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:25,880
Speaker 3: Lavaranda bit? I said, pretty close.

1118
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 4: I don't even know if he's done it since, but

1119
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:29,360
Speaker 4: he did do it on that and I don't know

1120
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 4: if we had maybe we had a sponsorship with Lavaranda,

1121
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:36,440
Speaker 4: not exactly sure, but you caused us the story falling

1122
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:38,839
Speaker 4: down Robert Daval the film you mentioned earlier that's come

1123
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 4: up here late as well, a dark film. You got

1124
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 4: to be in the mood for it, yeah, but an

1125
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 4: extremely good one as well. What else did I have?

1126
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 4: Let me see, there might be one other Chad Barrero one. Oh,

1127
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:57,319
Speaker 4: one of my favorite Chad Barrero memories trying to get

1128
00:56:57,360 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 4: up close and watch you guys live at the State

1129
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:01,719
Speaker 4: Fair when you were in a tiny little booth outside

1130
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 4: some big building.

1131
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 3: That's Terry from Austin that describes it perfectly.

1132
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 4: We were outside a big building and we had like

1133
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:09,080
Speaker 4: a lean to and there was really no place for

1134
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 4: people to watch or listen. And at that point there

1135
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:14,239
Speaker 4: weren't probably that many people all that interested anyway. But

1136
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 4: it did get better over a period of and now's

1137
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 4: the time.

1138
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 5: That was the era where you were knocked off the air, right,

1139
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 5: but they still wanted you to do the show for

1140
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:27,880
Speaker 5: people that might be walking by.

1141
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 4: What I remember is and again Chad's got a better

1142
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 4: say this is where he'd be better than me. With

1143
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 4: Johnny Athletic, I thought there was a time we were

1144
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 4: at headquarters and we were knocked off the air. Except

1145
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 4: for the people who are walking by our State Fair location,

1146
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 4: even though we weren't there, could listen to the speakers

1147
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:50,919
Speaker 4: and they said just keep talking for those nine individuals.

1148
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:56,480
Speaker 4: So but again, I might be I might have that story.

1149
00:57:56,920 --> 00:58:00,160
Speaker 3: There's so much stuff that i've either. I know.

1150
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 4: Part of my problem is I don't a lot of

1151
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 4: people like they take notes, they record some of this stuff.

1152
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 3: They have diaries. I have none of that. I'm not

1153
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 3: a good diet Are you a good diary keeper? I

1154
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 3: have a lot of notes, yeah, and I keep a

1155
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 3: lot of them.

1156
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:13,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I remember, But I have a good memory

1157
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 5: in general, you do at the moment, that's true.

1158
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:17,400
Speaker 4: The only thing I yeah, I mean, the only thing

1159
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:19,400
Speaker 4: I got to go back to is find stuff I read.

1160
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:21,920
Speaker 4: I mean I wrote, to remember that I wrote it,

1161
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 4: you know, and then oh yeah, then it comes back

1162
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 4: to me and I.

1163
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:26,440
Speaker 3: Remember a lot a lot of details about it.

1164
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:31,160
Speaker 4: So, as I mentioned, Louis, at least tomorrow will get

1165
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:35,920
