Make your voice heard on the Bradshaw and 0:00:04.570 --> 0:00:06.640 Brian text line. Let us know what you have to 0:00:06.660 --> 0:00:09.600 say by texting your message to 64686. 0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:10.280 That's 64686. 0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:12.660 Standard message and data rates apply. 0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:19.370 Having a little leftover filet. 90 seconds on each side. 0:00:20.510 --> 0:00:22.890 Put a little butter on that and you're way right 0:00:22.910 --> 0:00:28.260 through to the grill. By the way, Tennebee, At 3.30, 0:00:28.260 --> 0:00:31.070 roughly 3.30 this afternoon. Where do you think my troubles 0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:31.530 are going to be? 0:00:31.570 --> 0:00:32.890 They're going to be behind you. 0:00:32.990 --> 0:00:34.610 You are correct. I will be out tomorrow. The 10 0:00:34.610 --> 0:00:39.470 of Fitzgerald set sail at 3 o'clock. I think Maxwell is.... 0:00:40.190 --> 0:00:40.949 He's assisting. 0:00:41.030 --> 0:00:43.950 Yeah, Phil and Fuller, he'll be the first mate. It 0:00:44.110 --> 0:00:48.839 is very much like the Skipper and Gilligan. And I'm 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:53.420 at Golftoberfest. I'm at Grandview. All weekend long, playing golf. 0:00:54.430 --> 0:00:56.450 We'll laugh, we'll cry, best of times, worst of times. 0:00:56.530 --> 0:00:58.590 And this year, instead of a band to close things 0:00:58.630 --> 0:01:00.950 out at the tailgate party, flop, sweat, and tears. 0:01:01.660 --> 0:01:01.900 Oh, boy. 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:06.700 I keep a straight face. The legendary Larry Mandela guy, a.k.a. 0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:09.900 Tim Flanagan, will be the emcee, Sauce and I. Hopefully, Sauce, 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:11.340 we can get more than 15 minutes out of him. 0:01:12.180 --> 0:01:14.860 And Sauce and Common will be the feature and the headliner. 0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:17.900 That's up at Grandview Lodge. It's called Toberfest. That's where 0:01:17.940 --> 0:01:20.000 I'll be. But right now, it's time for 5, 3, 4... 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:20.300 Time now for. 0:01:26.150 --> 0:01:29.690 Five questions. Well, actually three, but five. 0:01:29.490 --> 0:01:32.009 Sounds like more than four. Brought to you by Willow 0:01:32.050 --> 0:01:41.800 River Company. Question number one. It's time now for multiple, multiple, multiple, 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:44.040 multiple choice. 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:48.440 The Minnesota Wild begin their season tonight in Nashville. You 0:01:48.460 --> 0:01:50.080 can hear that game right here on the fan starting 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:53.559 at 7 o'clock, pregame at 645. Common, will the Wild 0:01:53.620 --> 0:01:59.770 be A, a cup contender? B, playoff team. C, on 0:01:59.790 --> 0:02:00.270 the bubble. 0:02:00.990 --> 0:02:04.700 Or D, a massive disappointment. Here's a wet blanket for you. 0:02:04.730 --> 0:02:07.350 I'll say a bubble team. And I think it's for several. 0:02:07.470 --> 0:02:10.429 And maybe there's a caveat. 0:02:10.450 --> 0:02:10.790 You know what? 0:02:10.810 --> 0:02:12.710 We're going to be really good. We don't need Faber. 0:02:12.750 --> 0:02:16.340 We don't need Zuccarello. We don't need Hugh Sign. We're 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:17.720 going to be really good. And we don't need a 0:02:17.740 --> 0:02:21.200 backup goalie. See, that's all the issues we have. We 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:23.200 don't know how long Faber is going to be out. 0:02:24.190 --> 0:02:27.510 Week or two, month or two, season long, we don't know. 0:02:27.889 --> 0:02:32.450 Without Faber, he's, I just think defensively, we're not as good, right? 0:02:32.490 --> 0:02:35.780 He's a great player. That's what you tell me. Carrillo's 0:02:35.810 --> 0:02:38.520 without Zooks, and they've, I mean, I was reading the 0:02:38.540 --> 0:02:41.480 story yesterday. They were like best buddies. Not only were 0:02:41.500 --> 0:02:44.300 they line mates. Oh, yeah, they were BFFs. And they 0:02:44.340 --> 0:02:47.360 were hanging out together, and they were, he'd have, you know, 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:51.220 Zooks would have Kaprizov over to have some, they were 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:56.250 just pals. Well, now Zooks, how effective will, Kirill Kaprizov, B. Now, again, 0:02:56.810 --> 0:02:58.460 that would be saying to say, well, without, you know, 0:02:58.470 --> 0:03:00.380 Kaprizov is just an average player without zero. I'm not 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:04.780 saying that, but I do wonder when you have, you know, 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.820 Avin Costello, Laurel and Hardy, Stiller and Mira, Sacco Manzetti. 0:03:08.620 --> 0:03:11.840 And then the Hughes things, I don't think other players 0:03:11.900 --> 0:03:13.260 on the team, you've heard me say this before, when 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:16.020 there are either contract disputes or holdouts, or in the 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:17.880 case of Hughes, just, I don't know if I'm going 0:03:17.900 --> 0:03:20.010 to sign or not. Unless they announce between now and 0:03:20.050 --> 0:03:22.390 opening face-off that he is going to sign a deal 0:03:22.430 --> 0:03:25.450 with the Wild, it doesn't look like he's going to. 0:03:25.530 --> 0:03:27.889 He's going to ride this thing out. I don't think 0:03:27.910 --> 0:03:29.070 the other players on the team are going to be 0:03:29.110 --> 0:03:30.970 there two minutes to go in the game on a 0:03:30.970 --> 0:03:34.590 1-1 game, and they're going to go, man. I wonder 0:03:34.610 --> 0:03:36.310 if he's going to sign. They're distracted, so I don't 0:03:36.330 --> 0:03:38.270 think it'll be necessarily a distraction for him. But it 0:03:39.070 --> 0:03:41.890 does put a pall over the team. And you wonder 0:03:41.910 --> 0:03:44.570 if the other teammates are like, I wonder how committed 0:03:44.590 --> 0:03:47.630 this guy really is. So I don't know. 0:03:47.850 --> 0:03:48.530 I hope I'm wrong. 0:03:49.740 --> 0:03:53.280 Bubble team, maybe playoffs. Cup contender, I think Faber's got 0:03:53.300 --> 0:03:55.240 to come back, and I think we've got to sign Hughes. 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:56.180 And I don't know. 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:57.180 We can't get Zuccarello back. 0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:57.920 And maybe we have to get a center. 0:03:58.710 --> 0:04:01.810 Get in that and get a center. What do you think? 0:04:01.850 --> 0:04:02.610 We cup contenders? 0:04:03.090 --> 0:04:04.610 I mean, there is a little bit of a cloud 0:04:04.650 --> 0:04:07.230 over the team right now with the Faber thing and 0:04:07.510 --> 0:04:11.000 I'm with you. Maybe Shabanov is great and we don't 0:04:11.020 --> 0:04:12.180 have to worry about it, but I do have a 0:04:12.180 --> 0:04:13.840 little bit of concerns of a little bit of a 0:04:13.860 --> 0:04:18.640 drop-off without Zuccarello on that top line. They should still 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:20.470 be a good quality team. They should still be a 0:04:20.500 --> 0:04:24.510 playoff team because Quinn Hughes' top two defensemen in the league, 0:04:24.830 --> 0:04:29.690 Kaprizov and Boldy are both superstars. They still have some 0:04:29.770 --> 0:04:32.349 good things to work with. They shouldn't just completely fall 0:04:32.410 --> 0:04:36.130 off the face of the earth here. They do have 0:04:36.150 --> 0:04:37.770 a tough schedule on the road a lot here to 0:04:37.790 --> 0:04:42.710 begin the season. I don't know how Quinn Hughes not 0:04:42.750 --> 0:04:44.420 signing is going to have an impact or an effect. 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:47.240 They're going to be asked about it. Whether it's a 0:04:47.260 --> 0:04:51.200 distraction or not, I don't know. It just doesn't have 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:54.760 the same vibe as if he had committed here for 0:04:54.779 --> 0:04:56.500 the next three, five, or eight years. 0:04:56.540 --> 0:04:57.080 I think you're right. 0:04:57.850 --> 0:05:00.130 So, yeah, I don't know. 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.980 I would still say they're a playoff team, and they 0:05:03.020 --> 0:05:05.860 need Faber to come back and need to make another 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:09.640 move probably before the deadline to get into contender territory. 0:05:09.660 --> 0:05:10.000 Very good. 0:05:12.450 --> 0:05:19.570 Question number two. And now it's time for the seventh 0:05:19.630 --> 0:05:20.570 inning stretch. 0:05:22.339 --> 0:05:25.300 The Yankees eliminated the Red Sox after a 9-2 win 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:28.919 last night at Yankee Stadium. Boston trailed 1-0 in the 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.580 fifth when Sonny Gray allowed a two-out single that put 0:05:31.620 --> 0:05:35.469 runners on the corners. Red Sox manager Chad Tracy pulled 0:05:35.550 --> 0:05:39.410 Gray after just 70 pitches at that time. And of course, yeah, 0:05:39.610 --> 0:05:40.850 the bullpen did not do well the rest of the 0:05:40.890 --> 0:05:44.950 way after the game. Gray voices displeasure, saying, quote, I 0:05:44.970 --> 0:05:47.130 think I'm the best pitcher in the American League going 0:05:47.170 --> 0:05:49.570 through the order a third time. I think that's a fact. 0:05:50.150 --> 0:05:53.810 I would have liked to have been trusted in that moment. Common, 0:05:53.830 --> 0:05:56.190 did the Red Sox make a mistake by pulling Sonny 0:05:56.250 --> 0:05:57.030 Gray last night? 0:05:57.830 --> 0:06:00.560 Might not have mattered, but I do think indeed. I'm 0:06:00.570 --> 0:06:02.640 a big Sonny Gray guy. I think I've made that 0:06:02.700 --> 0:06:08.040 perfectly clear. The Twins decided not to. to match that 0:06:08.100 --> 0:06:10.860 three-year $ 75 million deal, which I tell people all the time, 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:14.150 it's really not $ 75 million, it's more like $ 55 million. 0:06:16.910 --> 0:06:20.790 Gray led the league in wins this year, did he not? 0:06:21.630 --> 0:06:24.950 I know that wins and losses aren't as... A pitcher 0:06:24.970 --> 0:06:27.730 can win 12, 13 games and win the Cy Young. 0:06:28.150 --> 0:06:30.080 Pitchers don't win as many games as they used to 0:06:30.100 --> 0:06:31.800 because they don't go as deep into games no matter 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.820 how good the pitcher is. But I don't know what 0:06:35.870 --> 0:06:42.870 The manager saw that led him to believe Sonny. Did 0:06:42.890 --> 0:06:44.950 you say it was runners on first and third? 0:06:44.970 --> 0:06:47.880 First and third, two outs. And he only had 70 pitches. 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:49.420 I don't. 0:06:49.820 --> 0:06:52.839 It makes no sense to me. Look at the numbers. 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:55.360 Look at Sonny Gray's numbers. Look what he's done this year. 0:06:55.380 --> 0:07:00.940 He's been really good again. And, you know, sometimes it's 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:04.930 like Dark used to say about Liriano. If Sonny Gray's 0:07:04.940 --> 0:07:06.630 got it, you're in good shape. If he doesn't, get 0:07:06.650 --> 0:07:09.150 the women and children on the first five. And they're 0:07:09.190 --> 0:07:13.350 all like that. I heard a story the other day. 0:07:16.050 --> 0:07:23.020 Baseball story. Brad Radke. He once told a member of 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:26.340 the Twins, he said, look, there are going to be 0:07:26.380 --> 0:07:29.380 five games where I'm awful. There are going to be 0:07:29.420 --> 0:07:33.220 five games where I'm best pitcher in baseball. We'll just 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.320 see what happens with the other team. 10 or 15. 0:07:35.310 --> 0:07:37.760 Because you're going to get 20 or 25 starts. 0:07:37.780 --> 0:07:38.720 I always loved that one. 0:07:39.660 --> 0:07:45.480 And it's true. Except for the elite, elite pitchers, right? 0:07:48.220 --> 0:07:50.260 They're going to have bad starts. Guys are going to 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:52.600 get rocked, right? They just don't have it that day. 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:54.520 Get the women and the children out of the first 0:07:54.540 --> 0:07:58.059 five rows. And Radke was that kind of a pitcher. 0:07:58.500 --> 0:08:00.280 There'd be five games he couldn't get out of the 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:02.820 second inning. There'd be five games where he looked like 0:08:02.850 --> 0:08:05.060 he was going to throw an 0 hitter. And there'd 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:07.100 be the other 15 games where there was good and bad. 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:09.580 So I have no idea why they would take out 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:12.040 Sonny Gray. It doesn't make any sense. I don't, you know, 0:08:12.060 --> 0:08:14.140 I do think the baseball season is too long and 0:08:14.170 --> 0:08:20.270 there's too many plus. It's two out of three. It's 0:08:20.310 --> 0:08:23.250 actually kind of fun, actually. It really puts the pressure 0:08:23.470 --> 0:08:25.990 on the visiting team. But they get no home games. 0:08:26.330 --> 0:08:28.950 You know, WNBA is best of three in that first round. 0:08:28.970 --> 0:08:30.590 We just know, we got. 0:08:30.530 --> 0:08:31.230 A taste of that. 0:08:31.810 --> 0:08:33.970 Although at least you did get a home game out 0:08:33.990 --> 0:08:36.670 of it, right? I mean, well, we should have had two, 0:08:36.750 --> 0:08:39.340 but I mean, New York had, yeah, they lost for, 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:41.059 they were still going to get one game out of that, 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:43.900 out of home. But yeah, I don't, I don't understand 0:08:43.940 --> 0:08:46.040 why he takes Sonny Gray out. That's, I don't know 0:08:46.059 --> 0:08:47.360 if it's a fireable offense, but. 0:08:47.260 --> 0:08:47.900 I, it did. 0:08:47.940 --> 0:08:49.439 Was there any explanation from the manager? 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:52.510 Who was the manager? Dick Williams? Chad Tracy. 0:08:52.690 --> 0:08:53.090 Chad Tracy. 0:08:53.130 --> 0:08:54.250 I don't know if I got an explanation. 0:08:54.270 --> 0:08:57.690 I know Boston during the regular season had the best 0:08:57.730 --> 0:08:59.790 bullpen in baseball. So I'm guessing that's going to be 0:08:59.830 --> 0:09:02.290 his logic is I'm handing over the best bullpen. 0:09:02.309 --> 0:09:02.589 All right. 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:06.180 Sonny tends to speak up a little bit. We saw 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.640 it here in Minnesota when he'd get pulled. He got 0:09:08.660 --> 0:09:13.740 pulled quite early, quite often here with Rocco Baldelli, and 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.230 he would speak his mind about it. I also think 0:09:16.250 --> 0:09:17.750 he was right a good chunk of the time. Well, 0:09:17.770 --> 0:09:21.410 he's the best pitcher. He's the best pitcher in baseball, 0:09:21.510 --> 0:09:22.390 third time through the order. 0:09:22.530 --> 0:09:23.329 Just a fact, man. 0:09:24.350 --> 0:09:27.510 Well, I would also let him get out of the jam. 0:09:28.550 --> 0:09:30.660 He hadn't caused any damage yet. They were down 1-0. 0:09:32.130 --> 0:09:34.710 And sometimes I think we lean too much on these 0:09:34.870 --> 0:09:37.610 analytics and sabermetrics and third time's the order, and I 0:09:37.650 --> 0:09:40.470 got this righty and lefty in the bullpen. Is your 0:09:40.490 --> 0:09:43.030 pitcher going well or not? And he'd given up one 0:09:43.070 --> 0:09:44.710 run at that point, so he had to have been 0:09:44.730 --> 0:09:48.710 going relatively well. Got to have a little more feel 0:09:48.750 --> 0:09:49.429 with your decisions. 0:09:49.510 --> 0:09:51.550 That's another thing I heard from my baseball guy I 0:09:51.550 --> 0:09:56.700 talked to about getting back to the Twins. Jack Morris. 0:09:56.700 --> 0:09:59.580 You know what, you know what tom kelly that's what 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:02.219 i'm told tom kelly said he was talking to guys 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:05.760 about how to manage and stuff like he goes if 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:08.260 the guy on the mound is the best guy you 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:09.860 got on the staff you keep them. 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.740 Right brilliant it's not that complicated. 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:16.060 It's not that complicated If he's the best guy you. 0:10:16.020 --> 0:10:18.820 Have, unless it's Olivia miles and she's one for 11, 0:10:18.820 --> 0:10:19.140 but yeah. 0:10:19.660 --> 0:10:21.260 If he's the best guy, if he's the best guy 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:23.720 in your pitching staff, you keep him in the game. 0:10:23.780 --> 0:10:25.380 That's why you don't take them out in game seven. 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:27.000 Are you going to go to the bullpen? Who do 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:28.770 you think is going to handle that moment better? Jack 0:10:28.850 --> 0:10:31.750 Morris or some reliever? That's it. Cause with the relievers, 0:10:31.790 --> 0:10:33.950 you know, it's just like this grasping at straw. Sometimes 0:10:33.990 --> 0:10:35.390 a reliever hasn't done something. 0:10:35.410 --> 0:10:35.750 He doesn't. 0:10:36.309 --> 0:10:38.130 That's why Kelly was, was really good at what he did. 0:10:40.010 --> 0:10:48.920 Question number three. It's time now for the lowdown in Dinkytown. 0:10:48.980 --> 0:10:52.240 Yeah, you mentioned it earlier, but the Gopher Gazette reporting 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:54.459 that Gopher center Ashton Beers will miss the rest of 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:56.199 the season with a foot injury that occurred back in 0:10:56.220 --> 0:10:58.800 the Akron game. So now the Gophers are without their 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.380 top two centers as Brett Carroll was slated to be 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.560 the backup center and probable swing interior option, but he 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:05.760 tore his knee in fall camp. 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:07.540 And has already had surgery. 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.260 According to the Gopher Gazette, Minnesota is moving its best 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:14.340 offensive lineman, Greg Johnson, to center full-time. Common, will the Gophers' 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:17.020 offense be able to overcome the injury to Ashton Beers? 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:20.780 If Greg Johnson, if he can do the things he 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:24.070 needs to do that makes him good, I suppose. We've 0:11:24.130 --> 0:11:26.709 seen this in the NFL, but the Vikings are doing it. 0:11:27.270 --> 0:11:31.790 Who's our center? Never played center before. Hey, guess what? 0:11:31.830 --> 0:11:34.390 What do you think about being the guy that snaps 0:11:34.410 --> 0:11:36.209 the ball between your legs? Okay, I'll try it. 0:11:37.410 --> 0:11:40.620 Um, apparently that's the hardest part for him. Well, it's 0:11:40.660 --> 0:11:41.320 a shotgun. 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.439 So I don't know, but you know, this beers guy, 0:11:44.460 --> 0:11:48.890 did you say to there? I was really not listening. 0:11:48.910 --> 0:11:51.150 I was just waiting for my turn to talk. Is 0:11:51.190 --> 0:11:53.240 he highly– I mean, is he a starting center? 0:11:53.260 --> 0:11:55.780 He's our starter, but is he a really good– I 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:57.219 thought I saw that people think he's going to get 0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:57.840 drafted next year. 0:11:57.860 --> 0:11:58.280 Yeah, okay. 0:11:58.340 --> 0:12:00.220 Then that's going to be difficult to replace. I don't 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:03.559 care how– Greg Johnson better be awfully good because they're 0:12:03.580 --> 0:12:05.870 going to need it. But that's too bad, too, because 0:12:05.910 --> 0:12:08.150 coming off that win and got Michigan coming to town, 0:12:08.550 --> 0:12:10.150 I have to admit I'll be curious to see how 0:12:10.170 --> 0:12:15.050 we handle Michigan. The result this past weekend– this is 0:12:15.070 --> 0:12:17.720 what I like. This is why– I've been saying about 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:21.020 the Gophers all along. I'd love to be a college 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:22.720 football fan, but every year I just never feel like 0:12:22.740 --> 0:12:24.280 there's anything there. Maybe this year there is. 0:12:24.340 --> 0:12:24.620 I don't know. 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:28.950 We'll find out. My guess is no, but we'll know 0:12:29.030 --> 0:12:29.610 on Saturday. 0:12:29.670 --> 0:12:30.010 We'll break. 0:12:30.030 --> 0:12:33.850 We'll come back. 534 brought to you by our friends at... 0:12:34.780 --> 0:12:37.280 The Willow River Company, they're your outdoor living experts, and 0:12:37.660 --> 0:12:40.800 they're doing that balled and burlap sale with trees. 25% 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:42.500 off all trees in stock.

They're a family-owned operation, Willow River 0:12:57.390 --> 0:12:57.870 Company is. 0:12:58.650 --> 0:12:59.010 And, uh. 0:13:00.370 --> 0:13:04.630 They treat you like family. Why don't you join the family? WillowRiverCompany.com. 0:13:04.650 --> 0:13:05.890 That's WillowRiverCompany.com. 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:17.579 The Common Man. I freaking love him. Yeah, same. He's 0:13:17.660 --> 0:13:18.580 so awesome. 0:13:18.620 --> 0:13:20.060 He seems like the nicest dude. 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:22.400 Weekdays at noon on The Fan. 0:13:23.270 --> 0:13:28.449 From the 1-800-ASK-GARY-TRAFFIC-CENTER. This report is sponsored by the Minnesota 0:13:28.550 --> 0:13:33.880 Renaissance Festival. 94 westbound stop, go Hiawatha to Hennepin-Lindale with construction. 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:37.280 Right lanes closed. 35E to Lowry Hill Tunnel, 15 minutes. 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:38.729 Heavy traffic, cross on Highway E. 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:39.200 Highlights. 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:43.280 Follow at KFN1003 on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and X today. 0:14:03.090 --> 0:14:06.250 A couple 13-14 pass. Deuce is loose. He's in the house. 0:14:07.700 --> 0:14:13.460 He will participate in studio with Spread Swing, which starts 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:17.000 at 1.30. The legendary one during the football season does 0:14:17.020 --> 0:14:19.340 an extra half hour. This is all Mark Rosen does 0:14:19.420 --> 0:14:24.070 is give, give, and give. He's about to give out. 0:14:24.110 --> 0:14:25.770 He gave security guy a pair of tickets to the 0:14:26.110 --> 0:14:33.080 Vikings game. He let everybody know that he did. Generally, 0:14:33.100 --> 0:14:34.590 when you do a favor for somebody, you just kind 0:14:34.620 --> 0:14:37.970 of do it and not say anything. But I guess 0:14:37.990 --> 0:14:43.730 that's how some people operate. This text message says, A 0:14:43.990 --> 0:14:49.950 common would rather be a Cubs fan with a $ 248. 8 0:14:47.830 --> 0:14:50.540 million payroll and lose in the wildcard round or a 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:55.920 Twins fan with a $ 109. 5 million payroll and not make 0:14:55.940 --> 0:14:58.880 the postseason. I'd rather spend the $ 248, 000 because it ain't 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:02.790 my money and get bumped in the playoffs. Gives you 0:15:02.830 --> 0:15:10.220 more to complain about. At least they're trying. Wasn't it 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:13.940 somebody with Van Halen, or was it with the Guns N' 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:20.040 Roses guy that says, money can't buy you happiness, but 0:15:20.060 --> 0:15:21.840 it can buy you a million dollar yacht and you 0:15:21.860 --> 0:15:23.460 can see it from the shore, something like that. 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:27.330 Money for nothing and your chicks for free? Yeah, maybe 0:15:27.370 --> 0:15:27.750 that was it. 0:15:27.780 --> 0:15:29.610 That was Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Money for nothing 0:15:29.630 --> 0:15:33.980 and your chicks for free. I'd still rather... load up the, 0:15:34.170 --> 0:15:36.730 on the payroll, especially cause it's not my money and 0:15:36.770 --> 0:15:39.310 it's funny money for all the, and we've talked about this. 0:15:39.370 --> 0:15:46.120 Every person that, or people's that own, um, sports teams are, are, 0:15:46.220 --> 0:15:50.460 are billionaires for the most part. Now, um, Yankees dumped 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:52.979 the Red Sox, but I think it was a grand 0:15:53.040 --> 0:16:00.260 total of 18 to two combined score in those two games. Um, um, 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:04.700 Cubs lost in the wildcard round. Is that what I'm 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:07.320 being told? What are the other results? I looked at 0:16:07.340 --> 0:16:09.480 them earlier, and I can't remember them now. 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.660 We got Phillies versus Braves tonight. Yes. 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:16.810 There's two series that are still alive, right? 0:16:17.170 --> 0:16:20.010 So the White Sox advanced over the Astros. 0:16:20.130 --> 0:16:20.930 That's right. They did. 0:16:21.110 --> 0:16:23.050 And the Yankees took out the Red Sox last night, 0:16:23.110 --> 0:16:25.510 as we discussed in five questions. And yes, the Padres 0:16:26.270 --> 0:16:29.430 swept the Cubs. So those three were all sweeps. Billy's 0:16:29.470 --> 0:16:31.330 Braves is the only one where we have a decisive 0:16:31.350 --> 0:16:31.790 game three. 0:16:31.890 --> 0:16:35.810 There you go. And then from there, who do the 0:16:35.830 --> 0:16:37.270 Bronx Bombers take on next? 0:16:40.330 --> 0:16:41.590 I think they play Tampa Bay, don't they? 0:16:41.650 --> 0:16:44.720 Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay. Battle of Eastern Powers. 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:48.800 Yeah, it's White Sox versus Cleveland. That's an AL Central 0:16:48.820 --> 0:16:54.580 Division collision right there. And yeah, Yankees versus Tampa Bay. I... Which, 0:16:54.620 --> 0:16:57.350 that doesn't seem right, that Cleveland gets the White Sox, 0:16:57.710 --> 0:16:59.610 even though they had a worse record than the Yankees. 0:17:00.170 --> 0:17:01.650 But because they just happened to be in a crappy 0:17:01.670 --> 0:17:05.050 division and won their division, they got the bye and 0:17:05.090 --> 0:17:06.230 now get the more favorable opponent. 0:17:08.170 --> 0:17:11.380 I'm not a... Full disclosure, I'm not paying as close 0:17:11.420 --> 0:17:13.560 attention to Major League Baseball as I once did, and 0:17:13.580 --> 0:17:17.480 so I'm not as invested. I haven't watched a single pitch. And, 0:17:17.510 --> 0:17:21.030 you know, normally I do turn on some postseason baseball 0:17:21.230 --> 0:17:24.400 because it's, you know, it's something that I tend to 0:17:24.460 --> 0:17:27.060 subscribe to your theory where it's nice to have a 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:28.900 baseball game on in the background. If you're just sitting 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:30.639 around the house, right, turn on the twins, leave it. 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:31.879 You don't have to really pay attention. If you hear 0:17:31.900 --> 0:17:33.520 a crack in the bat, you look up. If you don't, 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:35.020 you know, if you hear a swing and a miss, 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:37.330 strike three, then you might look at see what happened. 0:17:40.619 --> 0:17:42.350 But maybe when it gets a little bit deeper into it, 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:45.710 maybe ALCS and NLCS. But it's hard when you're just 0:17:45.730 --> 0:17:48.950 not invested with a club. I may have trouble postseason 0:17:48.970 --> 0:17:51.919 football if the Vikings and the Kitties aren't in it. 0:17:52.710 --> 0:17:57.020 Someone sent this text message that said, Common, can you 0:17:57.060 --> 0:17:59.760 remind me of when your flop sweat and tears performances 0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:03.260 this weekend? Also, any chance Deuce can pick the Packers 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:05.240 to win? I love watching the Packers lose. 0:18:08.230 --> 0:18:09.310 I always love that one. 0:18:09.750 --> 0:18:15.480 Flop Sweat and Tears. We're getting some inquiries. We're getting 0:18:15.500 --> 0:18:18.699 some inquiries about Flop Sweat and Tears. Then we have 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:23.380 another show scheduled for Closer to Home over at Uncommon 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:30.500 Loon in Chisago City. That's October 17. So we hope 0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:31.260 to see you there for that. 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:32.300 You guys are going to Illinois, huh? 0:18:33.900 --> 0:18:36.639 Yeah, we're going to Chicago. We're going to Chicago State. 0:18:36.660 --> 0:18:38.060 We're going all the way to Illinois. They love us there. 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:39.240 They call it the Windy City, don't they? 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:47.879 They do call it the Windy City. Oh, yeah. I 0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:50.810 heard Deuce mumble. This reminds me of a PST. So 0:18:50.830 --> 0:18:54.190 where's Chicago State? Was that Nordo? 0:18:54.810 --> 0:18:56.350 I always loved that. I think that was. 0:18:56.369 --> 0:18:59.730 Nordo was wondering. Somebody was playing Chicago State. He goes, 0:18:59.770 --> 0:19:03.290 now where is Chicago State? Where is Chicago State? It's 0:19:03.310 --> 0:19:05.139 in that toddlin' town is where it's at. 0:19:05.150 --> 0:19:06.430 I always love that one. 0:19:08.020 --> 0:19:12.060 There was another Viking-related note I had for you that 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:14.100 I wanted to get to before we went into spread swimming. 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:19.000 I forget what it was. Who do we play again? Oh, yeah, 0:19:19.020 --> 0:19:23.000 where you got the Dolphins. We're going to Miami. This 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:30.490 is one of those games where it's almost like one 0:19:30.530 --> 0:19:32.930 of those, it's not quite the same as, you know, 0:19:33.869 --> 0:19:36.169 College football, when you're playing Akron, you know, because the 0:19:36.310 --> 0:19:38.570 Akron's almost going to lose, lose, right? If you win, 0:19:38.609 --> 0:19:41.590 people go, I would hope you would beat Akron. And 0:19:41.609 --> 0:19:45.350 if you lose, it's just like abandoned ship, right? Dolphins 0:19:45.369 --> 0:19:47.550 are almost the Akron of the NFL, right? I mean, 0:19:47.590 --> 0:19:52.649 they're just, they're terrible, right? And that's here, right? It's 0:19:52.690 --> 0:19:55.190 at our place, yeah. You can't lose that game, right? 0:19:55.230 --> 0:19:58.850 You know, Barrera, you always like to call games loser-proof. 0:20:01.590 --> 0:20:02.780 Our offense still prevents it. 0:20:03.130 --> 0:20:05.840 I was going to say, with our offense, with our defense, 0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:08.520 we can beat anybody. With our offense, we can lose anybody. Yeah, 0:20:08.660 --> 0:20:09.760 I think you're absolutely right. 0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:13.439 Because our defense could surrender three points and we could 0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:17.820 lose 3-0. I could see that happening. Final score from U.S. 0:20:17.859 --> 0:20:22.420
