Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, conechia, buenos diaz, bonga, bonjoor, whatever language you speak,
and wherever you're at in the world, scratch that, where
you're at in the universe, humans and aliens alike, you
are tuned into what. I don't know what we called this, honestly,
me and Brett, we're just having a pre show meeting.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
I don't know what we affectionately called it.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
It is it is. It's a clear we have to
make a choice. We're at a crossroads right here. Do
we continue being worst case scenario? Do we go into
our radio version of a chrysalis in a merge a
butterfly as a completely different thing.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
We don't know.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
It's not quite the worst case scenario. It could be
called a slightly better scenario. I think the worst case
scenario is when me, you, and Robbie combine our brain cells.
You know, much to Abbas chagrin, you know, if it
was up to him, the best case scenario would be tackle.
Terry Tuma finally finally finishing his fan Outdoors Uncensored podcast

(01:00):
that he's been working on for several years.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
I'm waiting for him to reveal what lake he's at.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
He just always says South Metro Lakeside, where you at
Triple t let the people know that people want to know,
and this is the people's show here on KFA.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
And whenever Tackle Terry Tuma decides to do fan Outdoors uncensored,
we'll get booted. But in the meantime, we are here
hanging out with you until twelve pm. And when I
say we, I ain't talking Nintendo, I mean me Max
Buller aka Frodi Rhodes aka Cody Frodes aka Paul Max
Cartney aka a million other things as usual. You just

(01:35):
heard him behind the glass. We got a guy in
the ones and twos who is always in vogue. In fact,
a lot of people don't know that LEVI commercial from
earlier this week with Sidney Sweeney. It was originally shot
with Brett Blakemore, but he wanted to give Sidney Sweeney
a little shine because clearly it seems like her pockets
are hurt in her she owes a bookie some money

(01:56):
or something because he's doing all these weird ads. So
shout out to a Brett model More.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
How's it going, bro? I wish I had good jeans.
That's still have my hair anymore? How weird. Was that
whole thing though? Like that?

Speaker 1 (02:10):
I mean, I get what they were going for, the
whole thing has just been like incredibly odd to me.
I feel like people are blowing it out of proportion.
I think people are not more blowing it out. It's
just a weird thing. I don't know if I really
have a strong opinion on it, but the whole, the
whole debacle around it has been stranged.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
I think the fence sitting is a good move. That's
what I think about it. I'm officially fence sitting on
this issue and most other issues.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
I was gonna say, surprise, surprise, surprise.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
You want to if I want a hard stance on
you know, wrestling later or the Twins blowing up their
whole team, I'll give you that.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
But no, we're fence sitting today.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
And fence sitting on the Sydney Sweeney thing, and we
will be getting into rastland where we will be getting
into Summer Slam and the whole Twins debacle that was
the past week. But of course, first we got to
introduce Andrew Dukawitz of Zone Coverage dot Com is in
the building with us. Andrew had to be pulled because
strictly for work purposes. He's doing a deep dive on

(03:06):
all things dildos. Huh huh. You cover the w NBA,
you cover the Minnesota links. You are a DILIGENTLYNKS cover
or I don't know if you've seen all this stuff
going on in the WNBA about this this whole dildo business.

Speaker 5 (03:23):
There has been exactly as many dildos thrown at courts
as me being on this Sunday radio station.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
So two for two.

Speaker 5 (03:33):
If a third one happens this week, I think I
have to come back next Sunday.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
It's to keep it rolling.

Speaker 5 (03:40):
But apparently the person that through the first one got
caught and is facing like a lifetime ban from the
stadium and like jail time.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
So ye, don't do that. Yeah, I'm just what are
they trying to do? What is the point? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (03:54):
And how I don't know why, Maybe I don't want
to know the answer. How are they sneaking them in?
I mean pretty diligent these days.

Speaker 5 (04:03):
Assuming that they don't go off in a metal detector,
I think they'd be fine.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
I'm trying to think what pocket would you have to
put that we don't need to talk about what pocket
it goes into maybe uh maybe poor choice of words though.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
I also, you know, because we had with Glenn Taylor
when he was still the owner. The thing about that
we can say it post tense. When he was the
owner of the wolves. We had people gluing their hands
to the floor, We had people trying to run onto
the court over him. What was the name of the
security guard who like made a great open field tackles it,
Pierre or something like that. It was something like that, Yeah,

(04:45):
remember him, what a great You have to wonder if
there's some weird like protests going on that would involve
something phallic, because they're that's if that's for chickens being burnt?

Speaker 2 (05:01):
What what could this.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Represent? We need to hear from these from these people.
We need a whole thirty for thirty on it. Actually
because I great idea. It needs to happen thirty times.
Then it would be a thirty for thirty for exactly
a thirty for thirty four thirty.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
But you have to do it super serious, like right,
you have the most serious, like you ever seen an
American vandal, where like it's so it's shot so serious,
but it's about just the most juvenile things of all time.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
That's what it's the best.

Speaker 5 (05:28):
Everyone who has thrown one has the like anonymity, like
the veil over then with the boice alter.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
I just saw it flying through the air. Yeah, I
couldn't believe it. Every time I hear the word now,
it's like hearing the choppers.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
It's thirty for thirty. Hoigh at us if you need
any more ideas. So that hasn't been any like divulging
about what the deal is with this or why this
is happening. It hasn't reached Links Games or anything yet.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Nothing at Links Games yet. Again. Uh, for fans, it
sounds like they're taking it seriously.

Speaker 5 (06:01):
So if you want to go to jail for like
a year for throwing a dildo, that's that's a tough Yeah,
that's a tough one.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Explaining that in the old jail cafeteria.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Is going to be an awkward one. Yeah, yeah, let
me see yours as murder dildo throat.

Speaker 5 (06:18):
But it hasn't from what I understand, it's probably just
like college kids being college kids. There hasn't been any
like statements on it. The w NBA players have actually
been kind of funny about it. They've turned it into
some different memes of like photoshopping the dildo in instead
of a T shirt and throwing that into the crowd,
and like the players have been retweeting it, so I

(06:40):
think they're taking it with a good sense of humor.
But the league is definitely like, no, we don't want
this to become an actual thing.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Who do you think would do just such as.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
He always wants to sit so close to the course,
It's like, can just just drop them like a little grenade.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
The arm strength the club's not available, he doesn't want
can't make it to the.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
Car, damn it roa See, well, we got to the
bottom of that one pretty quickly. It's Mark Rosen. He
is the culprit, and we are I mean, not quite
the worst case scenario. You know, whenever and wherever we
can pop up, we'll be there. We're kind of like
the audio version of Spirit Halloween. You know, those stores
pretty much pop up anywhere. I mean, I'm pretty sure

(07:27):
there's one popping up like it. I was late paying
my rent. I think I saw them moving screen masks
into my apartment.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
I was just like, hold on a whole lot a
minute now, hold out a minute now.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
And I was thinking about Spirit Halloween this morning because
I read an article that was already announcing the locations
for the various Spirit Halloweens coming up, and I'm like,
bru it's August.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
It feels like it's happening earlier and earlier and early.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
I've seen Halloween stuff out at other stores now. It
feels like we're getting earlier and earlier with the stuff
every year. It's like a ww pay per view. It's
like the second one ends, we're building to the next one,
you know. It feels like there's Valentine's Day, there's the fourth,
there's Halloween, and there's Christmas, and everything else is secondary
or tetrio. It feels like we're always building towards one

(08:12):
of those holidays.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
I don't have a strong opinion.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
I know some people are very like chronological about they
like their hollow You can't celebrate, you know, Christmas, you
can't get the Christmas stuff out before Thanksgiving, or you
can't do this before that. I don't really care that much.
I actually like Halloween a lot. I'm a huge Halloween enjoyer,
so I'm not mad at more time to enjoy Halloween.
But it does seem kind of crazy that we have
Halloween stuff out in August. Are you guys, like, are

(08:36):
you guys sticklers about holidays at all or anything?

Speaker 4 (08:38):
Well, I'll say my gal has been looking for this
special flavor of energy drink that only is out.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
It's called Witches Brew.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
Witch Is Brew and it's like caramel apple, but it's
only Halloween based. And meanwhile, we just started August and
we're looking drink. It's finally we found like five stores
of looking. But yeah, I don't know I like Halloween.
I don't know if I'm really Maybe I will be
this year. But back in the Bachelor her days, I'm

(09:08):
not a bar goer. Maybe if I would be, i'd
be really into it and I'd still get the costumes
and stuff.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
But but now maybe I've got plans. I don't know.
We'll see, Uh.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
You're going to do a couple's costumes.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
I think we might have to.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah, you kind of have to, especially the first year.
You kind of have you got any ideas? You know,
I don't know, Superman, Supergirl sent a way, I guess
to think.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
So that doesn't really work Brandy and Cody Rhoades.

Speaker 4 (09:30):
Maybe I don't know how many people will get that
but yes, so.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Do you have like a favorite Halloween costume that you
ever had, like when.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
You were a youth?

Speaker 4 (09:39):
Good question, Ray, Mysterio was.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
My friend was the Undertaker. Yeah, you guys are the
coolest kids in freaking town. Well, we didn't think.

Speaker 4 (09:50):
So that's the one that stands out to me. I
think I was a soldier at one point, But that's
that's the one that I like remember vividly.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
The other ones I don't really remember. There's always that
one that stands out in your head.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
We're like, okay, I got it on today, like I'm
the coolest kid.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah. For me, it was ash Ketchum.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
I was ash Ketchum one time at a little Pikachu
almost should that the cutoff gloves and everything. It wasn't
even intentional. We were just poor. My gloves looked like
that naturally, but it's cold. Yeah, exactly, so ash ketcham
I was Spider Man once.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Of course, I think I was.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
You had to get the you know, there was there
was the two different Spike. There was just the regular
Spider Man suit, but then you could buy the one
where you're fake buff. You know, I had to get there.
You got to get the fake muscles SpongeBob styck.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
No, I just did the regular one. I just did
the regular one.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
What about you and did you have a particular Halloween
costume that stands out for you that you're like.

Speaker 5 (10:40):
Ron Swanson ROAs on, this isn't like a Halloween like
spirit take But like, do people still trick or treat?
Or is my neighborhood just that like I think it's
two kids that came by last year.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Is that just like a thing now where no one
trick or treating?

Speaker 1 (10:58):
I think it is becoming less and us of the thing,
Like the kids just are not I'm not trying to
sound like the old man, you know, shaking his fist
at the guy. Certainly right, but but the kids aren't
going outside as much.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
I do think, like if you probably looked it up,
like statistically, trick or treating is becoming less and less
of a thing. I think parents are just buying the
big bags of candy and then just keeping at the crib.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Yeah yeah, see.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
Now I've mentioned this before, but when I was a kid,
I we had to tell jokes when we were go
trick or treating, And apparently that's a very foreign idea here,
but yeah, but make you earn it.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
We had a gap of weird.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
I was like that and it's not like a normal thing.
So we'd be like, what's up with this guy? You know,
I'm gonna tell a joke or a fun fact or
something like that.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Well, trick or treat. That's what was kind of the
but now it's not. I don't know. I have yet
to hear that.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
I think I had like one or two people say like, yeah,
I've heard of that, and everyone else is like, what
are you talking about. I've never heard of that in
my life. I loved it, though, like that's a core
childhood memory to me. The worst. I don't know if
either one of you have had this memory where the
unwritten rule is if you have the light on, you're
available to be trior treated at.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah. Sure, if it's off, then you're not.

Speaker 4 (12:05):
Have you ever like rang the doorbell like two or
three times because and you look up and the lights
off and you're like no, like I cannot believe I
am disturbing the peace and just run out of there
as fast as humanly possible.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
I don't know. I felt so guilty. I've had that happen.
Oh no, we did not feel guilty. We would keep
bringing your doorbell. We'd be like, you better show up.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
I remember one time we knocked on someone's door. We
heard them go down the stairs but not answer the door,
and one of my buddies actually, like, I think it
was more like a joke, but he kind of like
gave the door a little hard kick and the door
actually ended up like busting open. So yeah, yeah, I
had to hault some mass after that one, for sure.
But we were menaces. Oh yeah, we were egging people's houses,

(12:49):
taking like smaller kids candy bags and stuff.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (12:52):
My neighborhood was as it was like a traumatic experience
for a lot of.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Other kid was Yeah, it was like Hunger Games. It
was like The Warriors.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
If you guys have ever seen the movie The Warriors,
it was like that in my neighborhood. Like it was
just it was just total, total chaos every Halloween.

Speaker 4 (13:08):
By the way, we are looking at the bratch on
Brian kfy and text line six four six eight six
sixty five. One guy says, our neighborhood has tons of
trick or treating. Oh maybe it's not a brag.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
Yeah, I guess I think it's like more of a
neighborhood to neighborhood thing now, Like it's not like universal
as as as much as it was when we were.

Speaker 4 (13:25):
And if you live in North Loop, probably not yeah,
probably not happening. Probably, But if you're living in Maple
Grove maybe Minnetonka, maybe they might.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Just give you a keys to a car.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
Right, All I got to do is tell Joe, Yeah, Well,
it's always a trick, never a treat when you're tuning
into worst case scenario. But we'll try to keep you
entertain We'll try to treat you to some last as
we hang out with you until twelve p m. This

We got Sherry at Serny from twins at Daily dot
com coming up next to explain what the hell was
going on with everybody's former favorite baseball team here in town,
the Minnesota Twins, and of course we got to talk
some wrastlin ww SummerSlam Night one is in the books.

(14:29):
Night two goes down tonight. We'll recap and preview SummerSlam.
But in the meantime, we're gonna figure out what the
hell is going on with the Twins.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Sherry Serniotwins Daily dot Com.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
Coming up next, Max Andrew n Brett in the mix
for a worst case scenario.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
We'll be back right after this.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Welcome back to k FA and Max Fullu here alongside Brett,
Blakemore Andrew Dukawitz. Today is August third, to twenty to
twenty five, But just a few days ago, on July
thirty first, we bought witness to what was probably I
don't think it's hyperbole to say one of the worst

(15:34):
days in Minnesota sports history. We don't have to go
through the list of all the terrible days in Minnesota
sports history.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
There's a lot of them.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
We're all very familiar, and we'd all be, you know,
ready to be we'd be like a barbershop trio of
sobbing on the radio if we went through each and
every one of them. But I think least that right exactly.
We don't want to steal bits. We don't want to
have any bit infringement here. I think it's fair to
say that the Twins deadline fire sale is when the
most embarrassing things I've seen from a professional team in

(16:03):
this town in a very long time. I can't make
sense of it, but I'm not an elite baseball mind
like my friend Sherry Serny of Twins Daily dot com. Sherry,
this is this is a loaded question. What the hell
is going on with the Minnesota Twins. I mean, they
traded away how many players I'm sure you know off
the top of their head, but a large majority of

(16:24):
their roster they have like two guys signed beyond next year?

Speaker 2 (16:28):
What the hell is going on with the Minnesota Twins? Sherry,
to be.

Speaker 6 (16:33):
Completely hot, nice, do you guys? I when we lost
Paddock and when we lost Dobinak, I was like, okay,
Like I get it, It's okay.

Speaker 7 (16:44):
And then the next night we lost Duran and that
one hit me really hard.

Speaker 6 (16:50):
I was pretty upset. And by the time twenty four
hours rolled around to say that I could give you
any concept of what I thought was happening, I had
no answers at that point. Now since then, I have
heard and I have also talked to other people in
the industry that stated this needed to happen in order

(17:14):
to sell. Whether or not that's true, I don't know
if it isn't that ridiculous, And even if it is,
it's ridiculous because we got rid of what four guys
with two and a half years worth of time.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
Yet yeah, ten active major league players from the team
and then eleven players off their forty man rosters. Twenty
six million dollars saved. But I think a lot of
bridges burned here in the Twin Cities when it comes
to the Twins fandom.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
Sherry, what do you do?

Speaker 1 (17:48):
This is? This is It's just such a weird It's
such a weird time to be a Minnesota Twins fan,
right because it feels like a million years ago that
they were they finally shook off that playoff losing streak.
The whole old Twins Cities was a blaze. You know,
baseball was the hottest thing in town. Everybody's excited. It
seemed like the beginning of something really special. And now

(18:08):
we're here at the lowest point. I would say, I mean,
I don't. I don't think it's harsh to overly harsh
to say that the Twins are the most embarrassing team
in Major League Baseball right now, obviously you have.

Speaker 6 (18:22):
A team like right now, absolutely not absolutely you know
you think that.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
There's worst teams than the Twins.

Speaker 6 (18:29):
No, I'm saying we are.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Oh okay, okay, I like, please inform me, Please inform me,
because I mean mad, Please please let me know, because
at least there's there's teams like the Rockies. Seems like
the White Sox, they knew their season was done before
it even started, right the Twins. Vegas said the Twins
were gonna win the AL Central. I think a lot
of people here in town thought the Twins were gonna
win the AL Central. A lot of people nationally thought

(18:53):
the Twins were gonna compete, if not when the ALE
Central will at least get a wild card. But I mean,
this is basically to mix sports analogies here. This is
basically punting the ball not only on this season but
next season as well.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Right, Sherry, definitely.

Speaker 6 (19:09):
On this season, right, and you know, I really want
to give you a twenty Maxis was probably the first
time in three years that you and I have known
each other and talk that I can't look at next
season and say, yep, that's definitively what is going to happen.
I wish I could tell you right now twenty twenty six,

(19:29):
we're going to have new buyers, We're going to bring
back talent. All of these prospects are going to work out.
I just I sincerely don't know. I really don't. Now.
I look at the past two games with the Guardians,
and what are we doing. We're actually producing hits. We're
not winning though, right like I understand that concept. The
Guardians just they have this weird voodoo on us.

Speaker 7 (19:52):
It's called small ball, by the.

Speaker 6 (19:53):
Way, it's really how you play the game. And when
we look at where our hits were three weeks ago
and a month ago compared to the past two days,
were producing hits. So is there hope? There's always hopes,
but what is the reality of what's going to happen
next year? And I cannot even begin to tell you

(20:13):
what I think that reality would be?

Speaker 7 (20:15):
And that bothers me.

Speaker 4 (20:17):
Hey, Sherry Brett here, I do look at the text
line from time to time, and you know, there are
some people that are very upset and bitter at the
pole Ads and everything. But if I could and I
looked at this text, it seems like a normal dude.
But if I could nominate a text for a preposter
statement tournament, I would because this is a I'm going
to read a real text that we just received actually

(20:39):
earlier during Sunday sermons. I really don't have a problem
if the owners of a sports team want to break even.
It's really difficult to spend owners money. But who knows
the twin situation. Is it possible the pole Ad family
actually don't have that much cash. Now, I think that's
the most preposterous thing I've ever heard. Is there any
world where you can defend the pole Ads in the

(21:01):
way that they've done this? Or is this just one
of the worst owner situations you've ever seen?

Speaker 6 (21:08):
So Max knows that I don't know basketball that well,
but I'm definitely learning thanks to him and my kiddo.
But it's kind of like, in my opinion, after learning
about Glenn Taylor is kind of like bad situation. He's
not good at all. The pole Ads are not good
at all. They're not good people. They're not they don't
want to.

Speaker 7 (21:28):
Win and them not having cash.

Speaker 6 (21:32):
Come on, my man, get way out of here with
that stuff. They don't have cash.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Okay, yeah, come on, now, that's that's a whole different
level of pole ad pocket protecting right there. I mean,
get the get the boot out of your mouth. The
shoelace is coming through your nose.

Speaker 4 (21:46):
He goes on to say, if they're worth around three
billion or maybe a little more, and the team is
worth one point seven, that means half of their net
worth is tied up in the twins.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Oh no, oh no, you're only going to have one
billion left.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
What will the pole ads do? Oh gosh, I hope
they don't get the client.

Speaker 6 (22:07):
And what's even worse is that, like they still have
that much money that they could spend on their team.
I'm not talking Steve Cohen, I'm not talking with Dodgers,
But my God, give me something, give me something to
work with. When we brought Harrison Vader on, I squealed
for like six days because I was so excited, Like,

(22:30):
what was so wrong with getting a couple of guys
like that, you know, forget Carlos carea focus on the
good guys who actually can actually you know, not hit
into a double play with paces loaded. So you know
it's it's embarrassing. Yes, your net worth is still worth
a billion dollars. You can cash out a few more
guys if you want to.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
Yeah, I just that's that's ridiculous. I mean the But
for the most part, I will say, even though they're
already there is an army of pole Ad pocket protectors
out there, these moves have been so heinous that even
the most adamant of the pocket protectors have joined the
pole Ad pocket proletaria. I guess the movement against the

(23:16):
pole Ads. You just mentioned Carlos Korea. Obviously, that's the
biggest name on the list of players that the Twins traded.
I would say Duran might be the biggest base actually
in terms of actual baseball playing on the field, I
would say Duran is the biggest move for the Twins,
But Carlos Krea is obviously the biggest name on that list.
They traded him back to Houston for what it was

(23:37):
just like basically straight up trade just for some random guy, right,
I mean, Sherry, what would you kind of how would
you describe the Carlos Korea era now that its unceremoniously
ended After just a just a handful of years here
in the Twin Cities. I mean, it started off obviously
super strange, with the whole failing the medical and the tests,
you know, fall into failing two different teams and then

(24:00):
falling to the Minnesota Twins.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
It's it started off strange.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
It ended strange with an abrupt trade at the trade
deadline in the middle of a dead season.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
In general, how would you.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Describe the Carlos Korea era here for the Minnesota Twins.

Speaker 6 (24:17):
Gas lighting, that's all I have. I get that he
wanted to win. I get that they said they would
build a team around him. But the gas lighting in
the past forty eight hours has been absolutely ridiculous. The oh, well,
now I finally get to play third base.

Speaker 7 (24:38):
Where were you then, when.

Speaker 6 (24:40):
Brooks Lee and Royce Lewis needed help on third base?
I didn't see you volunteering.

Speaker 7 (24:45):
Where were you?

Speaker 6 (24:47):
Don't tell me that you just want to win and
so you want to leave to No, you're going to
do what's best for both clubs.

Speaker 7 (24:55):
No, you're not.

Speaker 6 (24:56):
You're doing what's best for you, And I get it.
You you are old series champion. Well, you know what,
maybe you should have produced a little bit more on
the field here, and I feel a little less bad
for you. But when you bad mouth brooks Lee and
Royce Lewis, two people that you technically took under your wing,
and oh now I can play third base, can't get
way out. Goodbye gas Lightning, See you later, sir.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
No uh no farewell card being written by Sherry Surney
Twins Daily dot Com for Carlos Korea.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
But you did mention.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
I did see you on on social media show you
were pretty emotional after after some of these trades with
guys like Bader gone and and and then and Duran.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
What do you think in.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
Terms of pure baseball on the field, what do you
think was the biggest move that the Twins made. It
has to be Duran, right, And how much I know,
I'm you're not supposed to ask double questions. How badly
did it hurt to see that that entrance in Philly?
I mean, that's it hurts so bad to see that.
I'm like, okay, at least they won't keep the entrance right.
And then you're the Dune. I was like son of them.

(26:01):
And then the.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
Announcers are like, oh, this is great, this is so amazing. Thanks,
Minnesota Twins. I literally twins. The Twins trade deadline moves
are so bad.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
I tried to watch other baseball, other teams and even
other teams that had nothing to do with the Twins
trade were like, damn, did you see what happened with
the Minnesota Twins.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
I'm like, you're the pirates. How are you slandering the Twins?
What are you talking?

Speaker 1 (26:22):
Every single announced team, every single baseball show, everywhere was
talking about how bad the Twins were and it hurt.
But back to my original question, Sherry, I'm sorry, I'm
spiraling right here. How badly did it hurt to see
Durand do his entrance in Philly?

Speaker 6 (26:39):
It was hard and for me, for those who know
me really well knows how kind of eat some of
my relationships go into the clubhouse, And so for me,
it was watching my friends have to leave and watching

(27:00):
their husbands who fought so hard to stay here get
pick up and move. Like watching that entrance and seeing
the way people responded to him was one of the
most beautiful things I've ever seen, because you never know
what kind of ovation you're going to get, what kind

(27:22):
of recognition you're doing. Now, does it kill me absolutely.
I text Data that night and I was like, oh
my god, I'm so glad that they accepted him, and
she said that she was really grateful. She wasn't sure
and so it was really hard to watch, but it
was also really beautiful and yeah, matth you know, I
was crying.

Speaker 7 (27:40):
Out social media.

Speaker 6 (27:41):
It was really hard. Duran leaving was really difficult, and
then obviously, you know, Barlin and Jack was just completely
out of the blue. Everything was really hard. But when
you know people love being here, and when you know
that people don't want to leave no matter what happened
to the team, and those are the ones that go,

(28:04):
it sucks. And all you want for them at that
point is to thrive wherever they are. And I love
the fact that Kepler, Vader and Duran are all together.
I think that's really really important.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
Sherry.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
Obviously we've been pretty I mean, there is there is
no silver lining in all of this, right, everybody's rightfully
pretty down about everything surrounding the Minnesota Twins.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
But is there any reason to have some hope to.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
I mean, what are the prospects like that we got.
Do we have like a treasure trove of young guys
to look forward to growing obviously over the next coming years,
because I would imagine, essentially with the moves that they
made earlier this week, that the rest of the year
is pretty much just like a tryout for next season, right.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
I mean they called up damn near the whole Saints roster.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
I mean, the Saints probably had to hire the Savannah
Bananas to go play the game for him the other night.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
But which is I mean, yeah, I'm not even gonna
go there.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
But but what what did Twins fans have to look
forward to in terms of the crop of players that
they did get back for all these different moves.

Speaker 7 (29:08):
Okay, so now that I have calmed down.

Speaker 6 (29:10):
And semi quit spiraling, I will let you know that
the prospects that we did get I'm not angry about.
Even some of them have started in Triple A and
single A already. And I believe also the wind surge.
I believe it's in all levels now, and they've actually
been producing, not obviously at high rates because you know,

(29:34):
one or two bats in this late in the season,
but I really do like the younger guys. I am
very excited about Makeable, and I'm very excited about ed
Riotate because they are going to fill the gold holes
that we need, especially at catcher Christian Bascaz as a
free agent. We have Jefferds, but we don't really have

(29:55):
any catchers in this system. Now, bouncing back to the
what we're going to call technically the older guys, right
We've seen Radon, he's working his best way to fit
in here, Todd Bradley, Matt mccoolski, Garrett Horn, and actually
Sam Armstrong. I'm actually really excited about these guys, and
not the aspect that I feel like they're going to

(30:17):
replace the deep wounds that I have for the guy
that left, but I do believe they're good producers. Now
for the Saint Paul Saints that we're coming up, and
I'm finishing an article on this right now. Actually, we're
talking about what happens to them next, the auditions they
have to have. We're looking at guys like Julian Miranda

(30:38):
didn't even get called up, Mickey Gasper and Austin Martin first.
A lot of these guys, it's show up or get
left behind. And so we're at a really critical point
right now because it's possible like one or two of
those prospects might be ready to go.

Speaker 7 (30:56):
But these other five Taj.

Speaker 6 (30:58):
Jeremy, Roden, Matt, Garrett and Sam, they might be ready
to go by next year. And with Carlos Gon and
with some of the other position players, Don Brooke and
Royce and Wallner, everybody might get a little bit better.
So I really don't know see now, And guess letting

(31:19):
myself to think twenty twenty sixth is gonna work, I'm not.
I'm not mad about the process. I'm very mad about
the way that it's wick. But I think we've I
do think we've got good prospects. I do think that
the guys that we traded for that are older are
definitely going to be good fits. It just I have

(31:43):
to see it first.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
See, you can't.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
You can't deny your true nature as a Twins optimist.
You start, you started the segment as it's over, and
you ended the segment saying there is possibly, maybe, just
maybe a light at the end of the tunnel.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
Either way. Interesting is one word.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
You could use to describe the Twins not so distant future.
And I'm sure we're all going to be tuned into that,
just like we're tuning into Twins Daily dot Com, where
you can get all the best Twins content and read
Sherry Serni's work.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
Sherry.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
If if someone's not on Twins Daily dot Com and
they just want to find you and all the other
stuff you do, where they at?

Speaker 2 (32:18):
Where can they find you?

Speaker 6 (32:21):
Find me on Twitter at Minnesota Sports Scale and you
can find me on Instagram at pinetar Princess, and I
will be on both consistently as we all continue to
spiral from this fall up.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
Let's all spiral together. That's what Minnesota Sports is really
good at. That's what our fandom knows best. Let's all
just spiral together. Thanks, Sherry, I appreciate you joining us
this morning.

Speaker 6 (32:46):
Not a time, have a great day, guys.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
Peace.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
We gotta text our seven to one five guys saying,
plenty of room on the Brewer bandwagon.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
Are you a Brewer though?

Speaker 4 (32:57):
Break more, No, not a Milwaukee guy at all, So
no box, no Brewers.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Oh but what what's up with? What's up with the
beef with Milwaukee?

Speaker 4 (33:06):
It's no beef, not my thing. Wolves for basketball, which,
by the way, the new the black, well not the new,
but the old those are coming back.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (33:17):
Just I'll give you my money literally, just like just
send my paychecks directly to the Timberwolves team store and
I'll just yeah, I'll just go pick it up there.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
Those are amazing. It's the easiest money move that they
could be making.

Speaker 5 (33:29):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
Shout out to Sherry Serney for breaking down everything going
on with the Minnesota Twins. I mean, it has just
been absolute chaos. And like I said, there's a lot
of ways to describe it, but interesting certainly is one
of them. It's not going to be boring around the
Twin Cities when it comes to baseball, and it's not
gonna be boring when it comes to wrestling. Because WW

(33:49):
Summer Slam Night one went down last night.

Speaker 2 (33:53):
We'll break that down in preview at Night to two.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
Final segment of a worst case scenario coming up next
after the commercial breaks. Final segment of worst case Scenario

(34:47):
for the week. Max Fuller alongside Brett Blakemore and Andrew
Dukawitz of Zone coverage dot Com. I know we want
to talk some graps, some Summer Slam, some wrassling, and
that's what the people want according to the text line
as well. But Andrew, you are a legitimate journalist covering
a legitimate sport.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
That's a tough one.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
You are, though, I mean, you got you gotta put
your name on that.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
That is true.

Speaker 5 (35:12):
I am credentiled with three basketball teams now, which is
wild to think, but yes, And one of those is
the Minnesota Lynx, who kicked some major ass in their
last I mean his ass in their last game.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
Right, wasn't it one of the biggest wins in regular season.

Speaker 5 (35:28):
History, the biggest road win in regular season history, and
it happened to be over Asia Wilson, former MVP, in
the Las Vegas Aces in Vegas. And yeah, I mean
Cayle McBride went eight for eight from three fee was cooking.
She went down with an ankle injury later, but it's
starting to sound like that's less serious from what I'm hearing.

(35:49):
And then the rich get richer. They have a six
game lead over the one seed. For the playoffs. They
traded Diamond Miller, who wasn't getting any minutes, the salary
of an injured player, and second round pick for djn
A Carrington who played last season for Connecticut Links fans
might know that, you know, we matched up with them
in the playoffs, but Djona is a most improved player

(36:10):
from last season and made first team All Defense.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
So hell yeah, now you have.

Speaker 5 (36:14):
A first team All Defense player coming off the bench
for the best defense in the league.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
Oh man, it's great.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
It's a great It's exact opposite time for being a
Twins fan and being a Links fan. It's an exact
opposite experience right now. It's a great time to be
a Link. Span one eleven to fifty eight over the
Las Vegas Aces and they'll be back in action on
Tuesday when they take on the Seattle Storm.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
When do the playoffs start? Andrew? Are they They're coming
up around the corner soon here. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (36:41):
I think it's like the second week of September. So
there's only like five or six home games left for
the Links. So if you haven't gone out to a
Links game yet, it is a party. And I mean,
all I would add is just the basketball minds that
they have over at the Mayo Clinic Square between Tim Conley,
Chris Finch, and Ryl Reeves. I mean, I wonder if
they just kind of sit back and just like maniacally

(37:02):
super villain laugh in the in the late evenings, because
it just kind of doesn't seem fair at this point
for the rest of the basketball world.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
No, seriously, I think if you if you combined every
every market that has an NBA and a w NBA team,
the Minnesota's got to be the best market when you
combine the two powers, right, I mean, what what market
has a better player the two better players than Anthony
Edwards in the Fisa Collier.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
I mean, that's that's just it.

Speaker 5 (37:25):
You have Fisa Collier, who's odds on gonna win the
MVP this year.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
She was running away with running away.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
At first, it was kind of like, oh, you know,
but she's it's gonna be her as long as she's
not hurt, it's hers.

Speaker 5 (37:39):
She won the Defensive Player of the Year last year
and now she's uh, I think she's top three in
scoring this year. So the defensive player of the year
is also the best offensive player in the game. And
then on the other side, you have the Wolves who
have Anthony Edwards, which I've joked on some other pods
and stuff like that that I mean last he came

(38:00):
in not having a good three point shot and then
in one off season became the best volume three point
shooter in the league. Yeah, this year he has a
full off season, So who knows what that guy's cooking
up down in Atlanta right now and is going to
be coming back with and about another month and a half,
they'll be coming back for training camps.

Speaker 1 (38:21):
Right, It's already right around the corner again. I mean,
you really get no rest. You just go straight from
one season to the next to the next. Right, and
I got Gophers in the mix as well. You're gonna
be covering the Gophers women's team as well this year.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
Right, yep?

Speaker 5 (38:32):
I got offered to cover the Gophers women So I
will be doing that through Gopher Hole and the lovely
people over there. I'll be writing for them, but most
of my coverage will still be on social media kind
of interviewee stuff. But yeah, when the season's overlap, I
don't get as much sleep as I would like. But
you gotta love the grind. I mean that's kind of

(38:54):
how the media game is. You gotta love doing what
you're doing. And to think that I'm I get paid
to watch basketball is just kind of wild.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
And it's it's even harder when you gotta fit wrestling
into your schedule when you're on the grind. WWE SummerSlam
Night one took place last night, it was the It's
the first two night Summer Slam, and in the events
existence all types of interesting storylines going on. Obviously, the
headline coming out of it, CM Punk defeats Goonther to

(39:27):
win his first WWE championship and what over a decade
as first since coming back, and then you hear burn
it down, Seth Rollin comes out he faked an injury
for weeks weeks now faked this injury, cashes in his
money in the bank contract, and now we are in
the Seth Rollins era. Obviously that's the headline where we

(39:49):
got to start. Boys, how are we feeling about the
seth rolinds CM Punk cash in? I know, obviously there's
CM Punk has no shortage of die hard fans. I
mean that's part of the reason why he's back, right,
I mean people chanted his name for well over a
decade until he came back to ww So obviously there
was a lot of mixed feelings about this. A lot
of people saw their guy, thought their guy was gonna
get a championship run, and then South Browins cashes it

(40:11):
on him, and then there's a whole contingent of people
saying that this is just a great storyline. We all
kind of got worked. I think a lot of people
thought south Browins was legit injured. They played it up
really well. I mean even on his social media, he's
hanging out with this kid, he's on crush.

Speaker 7 (40:23):
It is that.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
I mean they pulled like this is like old school
style k fabe work.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
So I see people's do you think Becky's mad?

Speaker 5 (40:33):
I mean she's had to like do laundry and like
do all of the stuff around the house for seth
and now she's just like, oh, you're a champion, right awesome.
He even went down to Birmingham to see like a
knee specialist for a work interesting, It's amazing.

Speaker 4 (40:49):
Do you think that it was one hundred percent work
or mostly work like they knew he just was going
to be out for a couple of weeks. I think
it's one hundred percent total work. He was faking it
the whole time.

Speaker 1 (41:01):
I think that maybe it's like ninety seven percent, Like
maybe he had like a pre existing thing that they
decided that needed to be cleaned up for a couple
of weeks, and then they made the call before the
LA Night match and then went from there. Because it
was pretty the way it happened, and the emphasis on oh,
he's gonna be gone for so long, but we didn't
know any specifics about the injury.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
It maybe, but he can.

Speaker 4 (41:21):
Keep his briefcase exactly exactly.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
It's like, okay, so not that long then, But I
overall I loved it, you know, like and even the
angle when he came out with the crutches at first,
and you're like, okay, because a lot of people were
suspecting he might come out, So then he comes out
and then you're like, Okay, they're at least playing the
long game in this.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
And then when he turns around, yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
Drops the crutches perfectly on cue with the music. The
pop was absolutely insane. He takes the knee brace off
cashes in. I loved it. I thought it was one
of the most memorable castions in recent memory.

Speaker 4 (41:50):
To me, Punk has to beat Rollins at Mania for
the title.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
That My Thing is has to be. It has it
has to be.

Speaker 1 (41:57):
Yeah, But I was talking to Andrew off there, But
it's also like, how are they any Those two have
been feuding ever since Punk came back.

Speaker 4 (42:02):
How are they going to keep that fresh for essentially
a year? You got survivors. Maybe Punk wins the rumble.

Speaker 2 (42:08):
I did see that happening. I could see that happening.
It just also gets a rematch, so that is true.

Speaker 5 (42:14):
He could just get He comes back, does the rematch,
loses again, then wins the rumble and goes that way.
Can we also just point out that Seth Rollins did
a full sprint to the ring in business loafers and
then and then hit a herb stomp with business loafers.
These guys are athletes above athletes because the amo.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
That's what I'm saying, I can't even imagine that is
actually it just adds more to the feet.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
And then the athlete that that Seth Rowins is, obviously
night too, is tonight. The card is absolutely loaded. But
I think all eyes are.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
Going to be on the Sina Cody main event.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
And I saw the little news report earlier that says
the ending of that event is being protected in the
same way that last night's ending was being protected, in
the sense that you know, the writers are keeping it
close to its A lot of this stuff leaks out nowadays,
and sometimes it's leaked out on purpose, intentionally to mislead
people whatever. But they're saying it's there. There could be
something big coming, and I know a lot of people

(43:18):
think double a double turn.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
A lot of people are saying a lot of people.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
Saying Cody could turn heel, could be a villain, seeing
it goes back to being the hero. A lot of
people think that Sina's whole. Okay, Well, you know what.
I was tripping the last couple of months promo on
SmackDown the Other Player.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
It was very strange.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
I am of two minds of like, Okay, he's one
hundred percent if that's the route that they're going in,
Earnest one hundred percent.

Speaker 2 (43:40):
Right, it sucked. It hasn't been good, it hasn't hasn't
lived up to the hype. It sucked.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
Just throw it in the trash and let's just move
on because he only has a handful of days left.
But I'm also of the mind of like that seems
too easy, you know, like he might be working the fans,
trying to work Cody in the storyline and maybe is
still a vent.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
Also it's a.

Speaker 4 (44:00):
Street fight where there could be some Shenanigan's happens saying this,
if Cody is a heel, that'll be the most short
sighted stupid booking decision, because who is the top babyface
come January? SCENEA is gone, Roman never shows up. It
has to be Cody. It just makes note and he's
good at it. Just let him be a baby face,

(44:21):
That's all I ask. You don't care if he wins tonight, Just.

Speaker 2 (44:23):
Keep him so you don't. You don't care if he
comes home with the title or not.

Speaker 4 (44:27):
I want whatever's best long term for the American Nightmare,
and that may.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
Not be winning the title time. I think I think
I think I'm going with the double turn.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
I think I think I think that the Cody's been
talking about this, he'll turn a lot lately, and I
think a lot of too many people are interested in
it for it to not happen, although there would be
a lot more questions if he does it then not.
What's your final prediction for to Night, Andrew, I think
it'll be a double turn too.

Speaker 5 (44:52):
I My biggest question with it is does does Cody
keep the beat bleach blonde hair or does he go
back to what he wrote black hair cut?

Speaker 2 (45:01):
Interesting?

Speaker 5 (45:02):
Bleach blonde hair is typically a heel haircut.

Speaker 2 (45:04):
That is true, but he does looked apart.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
Already the giant obnoxious neck tattoo.

Speaker 5 (45:09):
Which I don't know if you've ever heard the story
of him talking about it, where he was like, yeah,
I didn't look at like the stencil before they put
the tattoo on. He put it on, was like this good,
and I was like, oh yeah, that's fine. Then he
got home and he was like, oh my god, this
was a terrible mistake.

Speaker 2 (45:23):
That's hilarious.

Speaker 1 (45:24):
Either way, All eyes will be on WWE tonight, Summer
Slam Apart two going down, and maybe, just maybe we'll
be back next week to recap it all. Signing off
for Brett Blakemore and Andrew duke Witz. I'm a max
Fullish Stay safe out there, y'all piece.
