Speaker 1 (00:01):
This football season, Bell Bank is giving one Cafan listener
each week one thousand dollars to pay it forward to
a charity of their choice. Just head over to Cafe

Speaker 2 (00:29):
So, as of right now, is it accurate to say
that Blake Brandle is likely to start at center for
the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I think that's the play. Yes, I think that's accurate.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Ryan Kelly is dealing, of course, with concussion protocol for
the second time in three weeks. Michael Jurgens has his
own injury issues, correct, yep, So I guess that's the
hope is somehow he has a miraculous recovery.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
I don't remember what his injury was or is.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Hammy that's I didn't even know centers could get hamstring injuries.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
I didn't think they ever moved fast. Well, you know
why you get them because Koc makes him, you know,
pull all the way out to try to do a
screen pass that he can't do, and then our running
back gets blown up.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
That's how you hurt your hammy. Wow, you tell him bitter.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yeah, I Sally, I don't even know if he got
hurt that play, But I'm getting annoyed with asking our
backup offensive lineman to do things that they're not capable
of doing.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Well, you got you gotta do what you gotta call
the some plays you do, I'd like, uh, well, we
discussed who was it that mention that you can you
can try to go Actually it was Adam Feeling. I said,
do you need to do a little bit more what
the Steelers did and go short? And he said, well, yeah,
that sounds good and fairy and there's probably something to it.
But on the other hand, what other teams figure out
(01:51):
is all right, we're gonna sit on all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yeah, they know.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
That's what surprised me about the Vikings defensive performance. I thought,
on the basis of everything we had seen this year
from Aaron Rodgers and even parts of last year. So
he ain't gonna throw deep very often, and he ain't
gonna be very accurate very often, but deep, but he's
gonna throw a bunch of dump off passes and short passes.
And so my assumption is we were gonna be sitting
(02:14):
on all that stuff, taking as much of that stuff
away as we could, and we obviously did not h
and the rest is history. So it could be we
make history with Blake Brandall, who's never played center in
a competitive National Football League game.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
We don't believe, right, I don't recall it.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
And O'Neill is out right for this game or not?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Has that?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Has he been declared out for this game? We know
he's week to week, But what's the latest on Brian O'Neil?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Are on right there?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Just said he didn't participate today.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I don't. I don't know if there's been an actual designation.
We'll get that tomorrow. But I would be stunned if
he played.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I got an a section question for you. I don't
know that we even need to spend a lot of
time in this, but just a curse ocurred to me today.
I had one of those epiphany moments, and you know
what we are hearing. Let's if we rank the intensity
with which a story is being covered or discussed. This
(03:13):
particular story on a zero hundred, this particular story as
late as I think a week ago, was it like
ninety eight point five? And now I think it's about
a ten. You know the story I'm talking about I
don't know Kimmel. Yeah, it's and goes and there's and
the added wrinkle is the Sinclair stations. I believe that
(03:35):
said we're done, They're back, are they not? I think
they are, so I just it's I don't think he
made a donation. No, the Charlie Kirk Foundation, I.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Don't even hear.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
And I don't even hear anything that maybe I've missed
it from the administration about you know, taking another stab
at Kimmel and he's got to go and we're not
letting go of this story and FCC's got to investigate
whatever I feel.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Like it it.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It's what makes us insane is a story that was
wall to wall on everybody's minds around the water cooler,
on air, newspapers, electronic media, et cetera. And now it's like, oh, yeah,
Kimmel's back and we had our we had our meltdowns
about it.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Colbert joined him, he was on the show. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
The bottom line is he's back on and I'm I'm
going to go out on.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
A limit assume.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
I'll assume also that Kimmel is now not suddenly becoming
much more tolerant of the president's approach from the Oval
office that he didn't have, like he didn't have his
own epiphany and said, you know, to take a whole
hard look at this thing here, and and and and
and be a little bit more measured about it.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
So where did it go? It's just so, I guess
we just we had it out and we're done. And
so now we're waiting for the next one, right, the
next one. So the one right now is the government shot.
I was going to say, we have the shutdown to deal.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
That's got to be the shutdown, Yes, until that's resolved,
and then we'll move until or if it's resolved.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
There are a lot of people who think this one's
gonna this one's gonna go and gonna go a long way.
And the concern is, the obvious is that this is
not a president who tends to need way for any
cues to do whatever he wants to do right, regardless
of the law. So are you opening the door to
(05:23):
make me say, hey, you go ahead, you guys want
to walk, go ahead, We'll take care of it. There's
there's fifty two other things on our agenda that we
didn't think we're gonna be able to get to till
twenty twenty six. Now we have a chance to get
to them the last two or three months of twenty
twenty five as well, correct, and they'll.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Be ready for it. Yeah. Yeah, So that's what we're
on right now. You miss him, don't you? You missed
talking about him for this company. I just it just
occurred to me. It went like I said, from ninety
eight five. I think it's a ten now, and that
might be high. I'm sure there's you know, there's echo chambers. Yeah,
where there's still a lot of discussion, but he's back on.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I don't think anybody has said we're gonna make sure
he's off at least right now.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Right now.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Maybe they're at maybe if they're they're they're they're prepping.
You know, it's like, okay, we're gonna we're gonna load,
We're gonna cloud before we load back up with whatever
our strategy is going to be. But even the piece
about the stations has said we're done apparently no longer
being done.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
How do they come back into the fold.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
And what you know, what what what's the president going
to do to punish them? And the handful of million
people that we're watching him before are probably watching him
now and the rest of us have moved on with
the rest of our lives. All right, let's try to

seasons right around the corner. Correct so they tell me.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
We had Bill Garren on two days ago in the
wake of the big capriceoff news. We also had Russo
Radio that day. We had Luigi for extended period. Yesterday
has fallness by the way do you know about the
great Staple controver involving Kevin Falness. No, we heard his feeling,
(08:04):
I should say we I apparently hurt his feelings, so
difficult not No, that's that's very true.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
The circumstances were as follows.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Garren joined us via something called barnyard or stream yard
to call it barnyard, and that actually went out, went
off without a hitch. Yeah, And then the plan was, well,
Russo will will join us from the Fallness caverns right
the catacombs inside the X his fancy state of the
art studio.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
That was the idea, correct. Well, it took.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
About an extra five minutes to get the connection right.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Oh no.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Then when we got the connection, it sounded like he
was talking into a speaker phone. You know, it didn't
sound anything like a closed the usual Fondness.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Studio, you know, like, oh, he's he's he could be
in this, he could be right next to us.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Just sounds crystal clear, which is what he usually sounds like.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And it was it was so much like a speakerphone
that in the background, as I'm talking to Russo, you
can hear Fondness stapling papers. So I mentioned that on air,
that he got his feelings hurt. He was bitter about it,
so it's just too staple.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I don't have any idea why to run Hockey City
Pub gift cards. And then allegedly the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
He admitted that whatever the problem was with the sound quality,
it's all been resolved, but of course not until after
the fact, after the interview was complete.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
I don't even understand what could have happened. I don't either.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I don't. I didn't think it was that difficult. I
thought you flicked a couple switches. Well, the only thing
I could come up with was that they weren't using
the Fondness studio, that they were trying to pull a
fast one, and that they used one of our switch
blades or on set. And sometimes you know when Russo
will join sometimes from press boxes, you can hear everything
that's going around him. You can hear the media dining,
you can hear the pregame stuff. Sometimes you can hear
(09:58):
the anthem. That's when that's when you can hear that
stuff when you're using that technology. So maybe they didn't
even use Fallness as studio. Maybe he was in Fallness,
but they didn't use the equipment. It's possible.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
We did Blake Moore have to say about it.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Anything, he he he kind of piled on yeah, fallness
because he too could hear the staples. It was like
it was clear as day. My goodness, bizarre. The whole
thing was very strange. I missed a lot feeling didn't
call in. No, that's true, the Garren Streamyard thing. I'm
glad that the feeling.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Connection yesterday was pristine, the liber connect, I will I
will tell you that I think the liber connection was
that Monday, that was from across the pond, yes Monday,
and the feeling connection we probably got him were better
than any connections we've ever had with Lavelli and Neil
the Third except.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
When he was in Puerto Rico. Remember when he was
in Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico, right, Okay, yeah, I could
have been and it was an incredible connection. Okay, it's
the best one we've ever had with him. Yeah, but
he was at a cigar shop in Puerto Rico. Do
you know what was? What was my point on the
wild I can start seeing price office hurt, Zukie's price
(11:07):
Off's here, Zookie's hurt. I thought you had a story
that priestofs heard on ahead of myself. I got it.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
I just forecasted to Jae. That's the last thing we need.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
This is to be followed.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I think I remember where I was going, and we
probably need more time than we currently have to expand
on this.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
But I'll ask you now that.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
The big signing is official, right, A major major move
for this organization that I think should rightly be celebrated,
even if I think it would have served the team
better if it was a shorter term, a deal four
years instead of eight. But that that's you gotta do
what you gotta do. They weren't interested in four years,
is very clear.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Now.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
The question at the table is, all right, what's the
minimal acceptable outcome for the twenty Minnesota while what's the
what's the what's the baseline where you say we have
to at least there are no longer any excuses.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
We have to do at least this much. Super Bowl home,
the whole thing, the cop No. I just wanted to
play it. Yes, they need one hundred points season, We're happy.
It's Grand Casino Arena. Calm down, my god. They pay
a lot of money for that. Okay, they pay a
(12:33):
lot of money for that's probably all go. I'm just
gonna start calling a GCA. They have to win, they
have to get out of the first round. Yes, that's
and I'm not going to get any greedier than that.
There's so many sadly, neither am I. But we don't know.
You know they're gonna have to go through this sacred
to make the playoffs. Yeah, yes, and then you have
to get out of the first round. I would say
you have to. If you don't, heads have to roll
(12:53):
this year this time. Sorry, unless again we literally have
like our top six players out hurt. You have to
get one of the top three central spots. Don't do
any of this wild card stuff. Get one of the
top three. Yeah, that's fair. And now that makes it difficult,
you can argue because the central I think is still
going to be pretty good. You know, Colorado's not slowing
(13:13):
down anytime soon. It doesn't look like they keep signing guys.
You have to get in the top three, don't mess
around with the wild card, and then win around and
then let's play. That would be my minimum expectation for
the season. Well, I'm with you.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I think that's the way you have to look at
this thing, and I know it's never that simple, and
you say, what circumstances and you gotta be more nuanced.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
You know we've said this when they were done last season,
right that you.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
You you can come up every year with a reason.
Some of them might even be legitimate, they might not
all be excuses, but sooner or later, even if.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
It defies logic, you have to jump up. You have
to make a move.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Even in a year we said we had no business
making that move because in hockey teams.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Do that all the time. But we're the one team
that does it. We've never done it. We've never done it.
So that's what we have. We have to find dream.
My dream speaking of Fallness and I love them and
he does a great job with the commercials. My dream
is that one time, going into the season, we're not
emphasizing that the fans are the best part of the organization.
(14:24):
We just heard it again like ten minutes ago. Yes,
the wild ads. Right now, it's all about the fans,
and we love the fans. They're scared, they're trying to
suck up to them. They're worried.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
It's sooner later the fans will say I'm done coming.
I don't even care if you did sign Caprice Off,
you haven't won enough game.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
I would imagine they've gotten a nice boost this week,
you'd like to think.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I bet they got some excitement day. Also, I do
know that's hurt.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I get the emails that the first ninety seven people
that signed up for season tickets would get a career
Caprice Off jersey, which I think is good. And I don't
know if that was full season, half season, flex pack,
whatever it is. But I just want one commercial raft.
I think it is, but I don't know, so I'll
call me. I just want one commercial that's not talking
about the team of eighteen thousand. I want the six
(15:07):
on the ice to be the emphasis. Yeah, that's fair.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
That's what I'm hoping for. That's my dream, and I'm
very happy.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
I'm very happy for the twenty fifth anniversary uniforms.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
I'm very happy for that. That's great.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I feel bad for them that they were now were
bringing the trees back. Well, I feel bad they were
announced the day after the trees. Oh we didn't have
trees for the while. That's right, yeah they are, they
are right, But I feel bad because the Wolves obviously
that that went nuts and the lad are like, hey,
by the way, yeah, we've got our twenty fifth anniversary
UNI too, and we're all like, yeah, we know that's great.
(15:41):
This just shows you they're in like a different spot
the inbox. Are you looking for contributions? We've got some
good ones. We've got multiple again, second week in a
row from P. Kessler. People are obsessed with Kessler, so
you can go if you if you stay away from Kessler,
you have a great opportunity to be read because I
don't think you can go over the top on a
couple of the ones that we already got JG.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
At kfan dot com and we are pretty much wide open.
The rest of the program out today at six o'clock.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Don't go away. Time now for the Vikings Report on
the Fan, presented by Miller Lyte Vikings wide receiver Adam
Thielen joins Denver Rairo Next.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Man Dayline, Chicago, Illinois, Wrigley Field, North Side of the City.
(16:42):
Game three, winner take all, well not winner take all,
but winner advances to the next round. Loser eliminated Padres Cubs,
and the Cubs have a threat in a scoreless game.
Basis loaded now and nobody out in the bottom of
(17:02):
the second. Do you happen to notice who is the
starting pitcher for the San Diego Padres of Anaheim?
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Is that you Darvish? You Darvish?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Remember when Lavell told us we came within an eyelash
of signing, you darbish member, We were, we were in it.
Remember that.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Remember that nonsense that he basically pawned off. I mean,
the twins let him milk that for a decade about
you know, you can't say we've never been involved in
some big names.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
We made a couple of phone calls.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
There was some conversation with you, Darvish when you know,
and I know there was noe. There was not a
chance in hell that you Darvish.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Was coming here.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
And I'm just amazing he's still pitching. That was what
I was going to say, Like about fifteen twenty years.
Didn't he end up signing with your cubs? He did, actually, right,
and that's that whole contract. I'd say it was six
years because you were willing to go five. That's it.
If you remember, we were willing to go five, and
I think they ended up giving him six. By the way,
Tiger's in good shape and also the rubber game of
their best of three wildcard round, the Tigers leading Cleveland
(18:13):
six to one. They have in the bottom of the six. Yeah,
with the way they collapsed in US. Yeah, yeah, you
can't collapse like that and then lose to the team
that jumped you in the standings. And you're probably right
about that. The Guardians won the division, right they did. Yeah,
I'm pretty sure they ended up winning the division, didn't they.
They they had to because that's why they had the
They had the series there. So in any case, uh, yeah,
(18:35):
you darbish. I'll may remind me to get Lobo going
on it. By the way, Lobo did text us earlier,
did you basically saying that when he had that good
connection in Puerto Rico, it wasn't a cigar shop, it
was from my hotel room.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I think there was a power outage. I don't remember.
I don't remember that either. Yeah, I'll take his word.
I don't remember it that way.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Who's to say. Maybe that was Beijing when he got
COVID had to stay in his room for a while
off and then we called this hotel and it cost
us thousands of dollars and we can't we can't get
good coffee because of it.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Basically, remember when.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
When we got them that phone call from the concierge
at his hotel about the fact that he'd left all
his underwear behind and they didn't know what to do
with it.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Yeah, they said it to the Start View building.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
That was part of the reason why they imploded that
one twenty five Portland Avenue. They're in the Capella Tower,
now long gone.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
All right, we got some good items for the inbox today.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
It's time only time will tell babies every Thursday, right
around four thirty, brought to you by Nobody would love
to be You just call Barb, call ob emailer, find
her on social media.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
I had a big thank you to a little bee
she came through. You know, I wanted the thinner new
caffe and hoodie. Yeah, but by the time I got
to them at the fair, the size I wanted XCEL
was they were out too popular popular, And I said,
she said, I'll get it for it, I'll get taken
care of And then you know this much, so much
time had gone by. I said, well, she probably forgot
(20:07):
came through right there, I got it. I got my
new hoodie. She did forget about.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
It, Oh she did well, because I said, you've got
a package addressed to Dan and you, which is not
a typical pariot here, right, That's true because we actually
I ended up walking off of an elevator today. This
is way too much info for everybody. She was on
another one and I said, hey, by the way, there's
a package for Dan and you.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
She's like, that's weird. What the hell is that?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Oh, it's the Hoodie's Special Order. It was just for you.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
No, that's true.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
I mean that was a one off.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Can't wait. It's almost too hot to wear. It's unbelievable.
Let's go, dear doctor Dan. The Minnesota Twins have announced
their intended to sell the team prior to the twenty
twenty sixth season. As the patriarch of our family, Carl
not the best packer owner stated started in banking by
for closing on family farms and the Great Depression. We
have realized our fans are living through the Twins great pressure.
(21:00):
We don't have any money to run the team. So
one hundred fans who came to the games and tried
to get us for extra gift cards. After the fire sale,
the media personnel who were forced to cover this crap
deserved better, even el Neil the third. We fired Rocco
because of the lack of results, which we caused by
slashing payroll. We believe we should hold ourselves to that
same standard. We need to get fans relief and recovery
(21:23):
from our hoard ownership, especially these past few years. We
hope the new owners will reform our team into a
better situation and bring winning back to Minnesota. This from
J Pole at J pol Ed, Bpole at Bpole Ed
and multiple minority owners. I guess, so apparently they're back
for sale. Your thoughts, I wish, I wish that were true.
That can't you think that could happen? That what a
(21:45):
what a what a great? You want to talk about?
A plot twist? They would have the town rejoicing. That
would be it. By the way, I mentioned that we
has Roco surfaced in any media reports seen him, So
I reached out to Rocco via text and.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Got a nice reply from him. He says he's doing okay,
he's fine. He appreciates the sentiment of all the folks
who are asking about him. But and I think he had,
you know, one of those comments about when one door
closes another one might open. It was typical kind of
philosophical roco very Baldali lama like. But I'm glad, he responded.
(22:25):
I hope he's doing well, and I did. I did
mention to him. You know, if he wants to talk
off air, he glad to help. If he would like
to have a form on here, he certainly deserves it,
I would think, doesn't he If he wants to.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Toss, we'd be glad to give him that too. So
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
My guess is Roco is going to be high road guy.
Yeah to all of this, yep, But I'm not buying
the theory that Rocco wanted out. I think now you
can go with the Lavelle theory, which is he's better
off being let out of his you know, taken out
of his misery because of the impossible way to manage here,
given the circumstances that the way this team is run.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Well. Along those lines, we got a letter from Rbaldell okay,
and I'll just it doesn't need to interrupt your solawyer
role too much. So he says, dear doctor Dan, if
you happen to talk to Jay Polatt ord Faldi, I
don't have their contact info anymore. It was in my
company phone. Please convey for me. Thank you, thank you,
thank you, Our Baldelli. So this R.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Baldeli thinks, yeah, they did him a favor.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Well, I mean, deep down, that might be the way
our Baldelli feels he need to indicate that in the
text exchange, but it was fairly brief.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Who knows.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
I mean my guess is there may be some relief,
but I don't think. I don't think our Baldelli would
walk away from this job on the basis of this.
You know, like I said, the climate, the circumstances, et cetera.
You know, one of the things that apparently worked against them,
and the ball guys love this. There's a stat I
don't know if it's Baseball Abstract or Baseball America or
(23:55):
one of those fancy analytic organizations that Kevin Kernin admirers.
They do a thing before he seasoned about expected wins.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Oh yeah, right, yep, And so god knows how they
do it.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
I'm not here even to tell you that there might
not be any wisdom to it, but that's what has
been trumpeted in this case. For I guess, twins apologists
trying to explain the assininity of firing a manager under
these circumstances.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Well, yep, expected.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Wins minus eight one year, minus twelve another year, et cetera,
et cetera. But I can remember we even talked about
a couple of those predictions that I'm going, huh, how
is this team projected to win that many games? And
these weren't, like I said, just average columnists saying here's
what I'm predicting. It was allegedly built on, you know,
(24:48):
solid research involving those players. So that too much of
baseball and really too many baseball media people have become
prisoners of those numbers.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
And we see another ample of it.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
I like this one too.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
He's got a lot of Twins this week, as you
can imagine, Dear Doctor Dan. As another season comes to
a close for America's favorite pastime, it's important to look
back and celebrate some of the milestone accomplishments by the
Twins this season. Record level attendance at t Field numbers
(25:24):
never seen in the history of the stadium, meeting and
surpassing the concourse cash budget for the season, renewed our
vows to Twins fans by removing from the I guess
f marketplace and seeking additional owners soon to be named,
with exciting changes possible. Celebrating the third most winning his
(25:45):
coach in Twins history by reassigning our Balldeli to some
other role in the Twins organization in some capacity someday maybe,
I'm sure we'd like to thank the fans and look
forward to similar successes in the years to come. Go Twins, sincerely,
de falbi. As dictated by Jay Polad, they did surpass
their concourse cash budget. Can you disagree with that? That
(26:08):
was fact that was reported by Jay Bonus. That's not
fake news. It's it's it's been I think it's been
demonstrably proven. Well, there's there's been a lot of discussion
about the dfauve double talk words salad game as he
as it played out again in the press conference that
I think El O'Neil attended this one, though again I
(26:32):
he's not the first to do it. But it's just
it's so hamhanded when you try to have it both
ways and to say, you know what, this is my responsibility,
but I'm.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Firing rock right, you know, it's it's what why bother?
I mean, in all seriousness, because it's not your responsibility
you Obviously, if you thought it was your responsibility this mess,
you would resign, he said, I'm not gonna wait to
be dismissed, So don't try to have it both ways.
If you think you got evidence to indicate we needed
to make a change, or it's time to make a change.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
As manager, just do that.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
But don't pretend that you're assuming any responsibility or feel
any responsibility in that regard when in fact you've decided
to spare yourself.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
You're not firing yourself, and you're not resigning for your position.
It's time for you, Dear doctor Dan, What is going
on in Minnesota? I wouldn't know, because I just realized
we actually have a franchise there in just the last
(27:34):
couple of days. So I'm asking you. You have a
coach that acts crazy. The only thing she didn't do
is throw a chair across the floor just because we
don't call a few fouls lighting up and then a
superstar player decides to pick on me, the commissioner of
New York, I mean, the w NBA. Does she think
I care what she thinks? From Minnesota? Do they even
(27:56):
have a downtown skyline there? Ps? How lucky is to
be in my league? See Engelbert well played, and we're
gonna get to a lot of that.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
We're gonna revisit that story probably about five fifteen, maybe
five thirty. I forgot right at six, so we might
actually begin it right after the top five.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
At five.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
I saw a note.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I think it was Johnny who brought it to our
attention that the same referee crew that refereed game three
of the Links series, the most recent Links series against
who US at Phoenix. Yeah, is among the cabal of
officials or referees that are in the pool to participate
(28:40):
in to officiate in the WNBA finals.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
I don't know, is that a bleep you maybe do
we not have?
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Is it possible WNB doesn't have enough officials to be that,
you know, selective. I'm not exactly sure what happens officiating
going forward. Doctor Dan actually thinks there's two subjects it
needs to be need to be explored. One of them
is probably getting a higher grade of official, but I
don't even know how you do that. The other one, though,
(29:09):
is you've got to have a philosophical bent as a league.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Right about all right.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
What do we want to encourage and what do we
want to discourage? Do we want more finesse in our game?
Do we feel like whatever, you know, the athleticism of
many of our players is lessened.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
By the physicality of it.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Or do you want to go the other way, which
is no, no, no, come on, come all, no blood,
no foul. That's that's part of what we pride ourselves
on w NBA. That's philosophical, is it not yea? And
because then if if you once you send that message,
perhaps in the officials themselves, they have a mission about
whether you're going to call it closer or you're going
(29:50):
to call it looser.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Correct, that's the issue. Has time for a doctor box,
Doctor Dan. I wouldn't say permanent, but I'm getting to
know the folk around here. One in particular, I'm getting
to know very well, if you know what I mean
(30:12):
by this studio is nice, but you know it's even
nicer as a beautiful lady's smile. I had my time
traveling the States and going across the country. The only
guy I know that has traveled more than me over
the last handful of years is probably t Brewster in
the amount of campuses he has coached at this p
Fleck might be onto something. But this quarterback, Doctor Dan,
which will satisfy you something I was never able to
(30:32):
do as head coach of the Gophers.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Come visit me in Fargo sometime. Guards you.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
By the way, your mom told me to tell you
good luck on the sidelines this weekend in the horseshoe.
Speaking of horseshoes, the Gophers are going to need to
pull one out to win the game this week. Go
smell the roses, Doctor Dan.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
G Mason.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
So, you know what one of the challenges of lately
of having g Mason on our show, whether he's in
this studio or in a Fargo studio or traveling the
country up with Topo, his his his dog, his trusty
companion dog, is knowing there's a at best fifty to
fifty chance that he's actually watched the gophers most recent game. Correct,
(31:11):
That's become the biggest challenge. As he was, you know,
honest enough to acknowledge, he always tells us when he
doesn't watch. The problem now is is that's most of
the time. However, it's better when he was working with
the Big Ten Network.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Yes, however, last week, if you remember, he watched every
game Yeah, that's true. You went through the entire wait
and he watched all of them. So it must have
been a busier weekend for him in Fargo. This past weekend.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
He's visiting every fancy restaurant Fargo. How many fancy restaurants
are there? More more than you think, more than you
would think that. Yeah, So who likes Fargo better? You
or Mason?
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Or is it?
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Or is it Where's Nebraska? Is it Omaha you liked better?
I can't remember. Do you like Omaha better or Fargo?
I mean they're pretty close. Okay, yeah, they're pretty close.
I like him both far. I haven't been to Fargo,
while I need to get back to Fargo. Mace, like
we know, basically lives there. All right, here's this is
doctor Dan Inbo's history.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Okay, so you're gonna have to You're gonna have to
bear with me a little bit because I have enough
work on this. I have enough problems reading in English sometimes,
all right, so just be ready. Okay, it's time, And
I don't know if I'm gonna say most of these
words right right? Caro daughter Dan parche questa, Tierra Pedi,
(32:30):
papala c offendo cocitanto, kwondo abitante the Midwest, proprio cum

Speaker 3 (32:43):

Speaker 3 (33:14):
That's from P. Kessler.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
The translation, okay, dear doctor Dan. Why do these papal
minions take such umbrage when a midwesterner just like him
wants a private dessert with him? F.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Mcfreakin.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I loaded up on shrimp, feticini and garlic bread and
decided the head of the Vatican for Tierra Massou. We
got to the gates and I nearly got into a fight.
We had to go back to the hotel and eat kitkats.
That's so good.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
I don't think my Italian's very No.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
I didn't see it didn't seem to trip off your tongue.
You're not good on the Romance language. I don't think
Spanish or Italian. That sounds really, really good. There's no
question about that.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Dear doctor Dan, I've run a foul of the local
authorities in Rome and need you to vouch for me.
Everything was going great. I felt like a supermodel ten
times strutting into Vatican City for my audience with the Pope.
Now I'm in a cell trying to convince security that
I did nothing wrong in the Vatican bathroom. People of
Italy need to know tourists are not crooks. Well, I'm
not a crook. I told them if they let me out,
(34:20):
I'd use my vast political knowledge to help them determine
which of their parliament members were pro Italian and which
of them were anti Italian.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Can you help me, doctor Dan? P.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Kessler, and I guess there's more now those two I
got to the way from Kessler. Once you do the
Italian one, there's no coming back, No, there's not.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
I mean, in fact, that's almost unfair to the writer
of the last one, because you can't top that. I
mean that one I don't think could possibly ever be topped.
And hopefully sooner or later we will. P. Kessler will
resurface because, as you say, he's kind of gone off
the grid, which is very unusual for him.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Right, Yes, very unusual. You want a couple of walk off.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
He ran into G clooney somewhere along the line and
he's hanging. They're hanging with the Cloney.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
I'm guessing cloning. He's not the most accessible, you know
what I think.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
And he's like, what welcoming, you know, waving people into compound.
G Clooney's got some pretty good security. You're probably right
about some walkoffs, Dear doctor Dan. I really agree with A.
Edwards on how I can get better sleep. So maybe
I can take some time off from one of my
twelve jobs, Jay guard. I do need to sleep more him.
Although when I sleep, when I sleep more, I don't
(35:32):
feel better. Yeah, that's a problem. El Fisher and I
talk about it all the time. Sleeping better and not
drinking we're supposed to feel better doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Doesn't work either way. I'm not buying it.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Dear doctor Dan, what's the longest player, coach, player or
coach has lasted while being a guest on your program?
Asking for a friend a feeling? Oh man, that's a
really good question.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Well, M Zimmer didn't we have him on three years
something like that? I think he lasted three and then
and then he was no longer doing our show when
he got fired.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
That's true, Right, we moved on. We had a Patterson
for two years we did, That's true. It was really good.
He was outstanding defensive coordinator. That's a good question. Now
you you'd be better with that than me.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
About the longest we've had Peterson the DV was he
more than one year? This one year he was one
one year and he was done, right, he was done
cam bying them was one cam bying them? Last year
was one? Uh then what there was one year? I
think we just kind of moved it around, wasn't there. Yeah,
it was a lot well, Dalvin Cook was a couple
of years. We had Dalvin for a couple of years
we did. Yeah, I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
We had Dalvin and then we had we moved it
around Cook. It was a lot of latous murray. Oh yeah,
A train was outstanding.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
Train was good.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Yeah. And the year we moved it around, it actually
worked out great because we moved it around right into case.
That was year right we blundered into ce Keeno because
we didn't really we were moving things around. It was
tay Train, it was Dalvin, and we we kind of
locked in on Keenum the rest of the year because
Keenum walked in on us. It was part of his routine. Yeah,
that was perfect. He needed it. He needed it.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
He felt like we were actually part of his good luck. Yes,
his good fortune. He would have been bothered if we
didn't do the bit. Yes, because he was very superstitious guy.
That's what we told ourselves. At least at least we
wanted to believe it.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Now, maybe is that part of the fallout for Keenum
is that when he went to Denver KOA and Denver
didn't do with them. Now, that was their mistake and
it never worked out after that. They never lost their
their themselves in his eyes, that's the problem. We had
be Lieber for one year two thousand and nine, my
first year with you, we did. Yeah, I don't think
we had him the second year and that ended, you know,
(37:36):
with his past interference in the NFC Championship game that
didn't end well.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
It was not a good call. No, it was not.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
That's true. That doesn't mean we can't tease him about it.
And it doesn't come up weekly. Then I'm trying to
remember who else we had. We've had some good ones, you.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Know, Chad and Barrero once had Denny Green as a regular.
We had See Carter as irregular. Yeah, if you want
to go back far enough, we had Fran Tarkenton as irregular.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
We did until that was so it wasn't two full years. No, No,
we did until we didn't think it was about a
year and a half. I still blame b Hagen for that.
I've tried.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
I thought he was going to get he was going
to grease the wheels to get some sort of a
summit meeting, to get that type ofture, and it hasn't
happened to this day. If he's out there, you know,
it's still could be in the cards. He could make
it happen.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
Mar Tarkenton Top five Vikings injury report and we'll do
our best to update you on all the playoff action,
which the Twins, as we know, are not a part
of
This football season, Bell Bank is giving one Cafan listener
each week one thousand dollars to pay it forward to
a charity of their choice. Just head over to Cafe

Speaker 2 (00:29):
So, as of right now, is it accurate to say
that Blake Brandle is likely to start at center for
the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I think that's the play. Yes, I think that's accurate.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Ryan Kelly is dealing, of course, with concussion protocol for
the second time in three weeks. Michael Jurgens has his
own injury issues, correct, yep, So I guess that's the
hope is somehow he has a miraculous recovery.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
I don't remember what his injury was or is.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Hammy that's I didn't even know centers could get hamstring injuries.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
I didn't think they ever moved fast. Well, you know
why you get them because Koc makes him, you know,
pull all the way out to try to do a
screen pass that he can't do, and then our running
back gets blown up.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
That's how you hurt your hammy. Wow, you tell him bitter.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yeah, I Sally, I don't even know if he got
hurt that play, But I'm getting annoyed with asking our
backup offensive lineman to do things that they're not capable
of doing.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Well, you got you gotta do what you gotta call
the some plays you do, I'd like, uh, well, we
discussed who was it that mention that you can you
can try to go Actually it was Adam Feeling. I said,
do you need to do a little bit more what
the Steelers did and go short? And he said, well, yeah,
that sounds good and fairy and there's probably something to it.
But on the other hand, what other teams figure out
(01:51):
is all right, we're gonna sit on all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yeah, they know.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
That's what surprised me about the Vikings defensive performance. I thought,
on the basis of everything we had seen this year
from Aaron Rodgers and even parts of last year. So
he ain't gonna throw deep very often, and he ain't
gonna be very accurate very often, but deep, but he's
gonna throw a bunch of dump off passes and short passes.
And so my assumption is we were gonna be sitting
(02:14):
on all that stuff, taking as much of that stuff
away as we could, and we obviously did not h
and the rest is history. So it could be we
make history with Blake Brandall, who's never played center in
a competitive National Football League game.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
We don't believe, right, I don't recall it.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
And O'Neill is out right for this game or not?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Has that?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Has he been declared out for this game? We know
he's week to week, But what's the latest on Brian O'Neil?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Are on right there?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Just said he didn't participate today.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I don't. I don't know if there's been an actual designation.
We'll get that tomorrow. But I would be stunned if
he played.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I got an a section question for you. I don't
know that we even need to spend a lot of
time in this, but just a curse ocurred to me today.
I had one of those epiphany moments, and you know
what we are hearing. Let's if we rank the intensity
with which a story is being covered or discussed. This
(03:13):
particular story on a zero hundred, this particular story as
late as I think a week ago, was it like
ninety eight point five? And now I think it's about
a ten. You know the story I'm talking about I
don't know Kimmel. Yeah, it's and goes and there's and
the added wrinkle is the Sinclair stations. I believe that
(03:35):
said we're done, They're back, are they not? I think
they are, so I just it's I don't think he
made a donation. No, the Charlie Kirk Foundation, I.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Don't even hear.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
And I don't even hear anything that maybe I've missed
it from the administration about you know, taking another stab
at Kimmel and he's got to go and we're not
letting go of this story and FCC's got to investigate
whatever I feel.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Like it it.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It's what makes us insane is a story that was
wall to wall on everybody's minds around the water cooler,
on air, newspapers, electronic media, et cetera. And now it's like, oh, yeah,
Kimmel's back and we had our we had our meltdowns
about it.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Colbert joined him, he was on the show. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
The bottom line is he's back on and I'm I'm
going to go out on.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
A limit assume.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
I'll assume also that Kimmel is now not suddenly becoming
much more tolerant of the president's approach from the Oval
office that he didn't have, like he didn't have his
own epiphany and said, you know, to take a whole
hard look at this thing here, and and and and
and be a little bit more measured about it.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
So where did it go? It's just so, I guess
we just we had it out and we're done. And
so now we're waiting for the next one, right, the
next one. So the one right now is the government shot.
I was going to say, we have the shutdown to deal.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
That's got to be the shutdown, Yes, until that's resolved,
and then we'll move until or if it's resolved.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
There are a lot of people who think this one's
gonna this one's gonna go and gonna go a long way.
And the concern is, the obvious is that this is
not a president who tends to need way for any
cues to do whatever he wants to do right, regardless
of the law. So are you opening the door to
(05:23):
make me say, hey, you go ahead, you guys want
to walk, go ahead, We'll take care of it. There's
there's fifty two other things on our agenda that we
didn't think we're gonna be able to get to till
twenty twenty six. Now we have a chance to get
to them the last two or three months of twenty
twenty five as well, correct, and they'll.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Be ready for it. Yeah. Yeah, So that's what we're
on right now. You miss him, don't you? You missed
talking about him for this company. I just it just
occurred to me. It went like I said, from ninety
eight five. I think it's a ten now, and that
might be high. I'm sure there's you know, there's echo chambers. Yeah,
where there's still a lot of discussion, but he's back on.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I don't think anybody has said we're gonna make sure
he's off at least right now.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Right now.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Maybe they're at maybe if they're they're they're they're prepping.
You know, it's like, okay, we're gonna we're gonna load,
We're gonna cloud before we load back up with whatever
our strategy is going to be. But even the piece
about the stations has said we're done apparently no longer
being done.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
How do they come back into the fold.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
And what you know, what what what's the president going
to do to punish them? And the handful of million
people that we're watching him before are probably watching him
now and the rest of us have moved on with
the rest of our lives. All right, let's try to

We had Bill Garren on two days ago in the
wake of the big capriceoff news. We also had Russo
Radio that day. We had Luigi for extended period. Yesterday
has fallness by the way do you know about the
great Staple controver involving Kevin Falness. No, we heard his feeling,
(08:04):
I should say we I apparently hurt his feelings, so
difficult not No, that's that's very true.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
The circumstances were as follows.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Garren joined us via something called barnyard or stream yard
to call it barnyard, and that actually went out, went
off without a hitch. Yeah, And then the plan was, well,
Russo will will join us from the Fallness caverns right
the catacombs inside the X his fancy state of the
art studio.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
That was the idea, correct. Well, it took.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
About an extra five minutes to get the connection right.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Oh no.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Then when we got the connection, it sounded like he
was talking into a speaker phone. You know, it didn't
sound anything like a closed the usual Fondness.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Studio, you know, like, oh, he's he's he could be
in this, he could be right next to us.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Just sounds crystal clear, which is what he usually sounds like.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And it was it was so much like a speakerphone
that in the background, as I'm talking to Russo, you
can hear Fondness stapling papers. So I mentioned that on air,
that he got his feelings hurt. He was bitter about it,
so it's just too staple.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I don't have any idea why to run Hockey City
Pub gift cards. And then allegedly the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
He admitted that whatever the problem was with the sound quality,
it's all been resolved, but of course not until after
the fact, after the interview was complete.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
I don't even understand what could have happened. I don't either.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I don't. I didn't think it was that difficult. I
thought you flicked a couple switches. Well, the only thing
I could come up with was that they weren't using
the Fondness studio, that they were trying to pull a
fast one, and that they used one of our switch
blades or on set. And sometimes you know when Russo
will join sometimes from press boxes, you can hear everything
that's going around him. You can hear the media dining,
you can hear the pregame stuff. Sometimes you can hear
(09:58):
the anthem. That's when that's when you can hear that
stuff when you're using that technology. So maybe they didn't
even use Fallness as studio. Maybe he was in Fallness,
but they didn't use the equipment. It's possible.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
We did Blake Moore have to say about it.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Anything, he he he kind of piled on yeah, fallness
because he too could hear the staples. It was like
it was clear as day. My goodness, bizarre. The whole
thing was very strange. I missed a lot feeling didn't
call in. No, that's true, the Garren Streamyard thing. I'm
glad that the feeling.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Connection yesterday was pristine, the liber connect, I will I
will tell you that I think the liber connection was
that Monday, that was from across the pond, yes Monday,
and the feeling connection we probably got him were better
than any connections we've ever had with Lavelli and Neil
the Third except.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
When he was in Puerto Rico. Remember when he was
in Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico, right, Okay, yeah, I could
have been and it was an incredible connection. Okay, it's
the best one we've ever had with him. Yeah, but
he was at a cigar shop in Puerto Rico. Do
you know what was? What was my point on the
wild I can start seeing price office hurt, Zukie's price
(11:07):
Off's here, Zookie's hurt. I thought you had a story
that priestofs heard on ahead of myself. I got it.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
I just forecasted to Jae. That's the last thing we need.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
This is to be followed.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I think I remember where I was going, and we
probably need more time than we currently have to expand
on this.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
But I'll ask you now that.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
The big signing is official, right, A major major move
for this organization that I think should rightly be celebrated,
even if I think it would have served the team
better if it was a shorter term, a deal four
years instead of eight. But that that's you gotta do
what you gotta do. They weren't interested in four years,
is very clear.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Now.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
The question at the table is, all right, what's the
minimal acceptable outcome for the twenty Minnesota while what's the
what's the what's the baseline where you say we have
to at least there are no longer any excuses.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
We have to do at least this much. Super Bowl home,
the whole thing, the cop No. I just wanted to
play it. Yes, they need one hundred points season, We're happy.
It's Grand Casino Arena. Calm down, my god. They pay
a lot of money for that. Okay, they pay a
(12:33):
lot of money for that's probably all go. I'm just
gonna start calling a GCA. They have to win, they
have to get out of the first round. Yes, that's
and I'm not going to get any greedier than that.
There's so many sadly, neither am I. But we don't know.
You know they're gonna have to go through this sacred
to make the playoffs. Yeah, yes, and then you have
to get out of the first round. I would say
you have to. If you don't, heads have to roll
(12:53):
this year this time. Sorry, unless again we literally have
like our top six players out hurt. You have to
get one of the top three central spots. Don't do
any of this wild card stuff. Get one of the
top three. Yeah, that's fair. And now that makes it difficult,
you can argue because the central I think is still
going to be pretty good. You know, Colorado's not slowing
(13:13):
down anytime soon. It doesn't look like they keep signing guys.
You have to get in the top three, don't mess
around with the wild card, and then win around and
then let's play. That would be my minimum expectation for
the season. Well, I'm with you.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I think that's the way you have to look at
this thing, and I know it's never that simple, and
you say, what circumstances and you gotta be more nuanced.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
You know we've said this when they were done last season,
right that you.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
You you can come up every year with a reason.
Some of them might even be legitimate, they might not
all be excuses, but sooner or later, even if.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
It defies logic, you have to jump up. You have
to make a move.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Even in a year we said we had no business
making that move because in hockey teams.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Do that all the time. But we're the one team
that does it. We've never done it. We've never done it.
So that's what we have. We have to find dream.
My dream speaking of Fallness and I love them and
he does a great job with the commercials. My dream
is that one time, going into the season, we're not
emphasizing that the fans are the best part of the organization.
(14:24):
We just heard it again like ten minutes ago. Yes,
the wild ads. Right now, it's all about the fans,
and we love the fans. They're scared, they're trying to
suck up to them. They're worried.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
It's sooner later the fans will say I'm done coming.
I don't even care if you did sign Caprice Off,
you haven't won enough game.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
I would imagine they've gotten a nice boost this week,
you'd like to think.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I bet they got some excitement day. Also, I do
know that's hurt.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I get the emails that the first ninety seven people
that signed up for season tickets would get a career
Caprice Off jersey, which I think is good. And I don't
know if that was full season, half season, flex pack,
whatever it is. But I just want one commercial raft.
I think it is, but I don't know, so I'll
call me. I just want one commercial that's not talking
about the team of eighteen thousand. I want the six
(15:07):
on the ice to be the emphasis. Yeah, that's fair.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
That's what I'm hoping for. That's my dream, and I'm
very happy.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
I'm very happy for the twenty fifth anniversary uniforms.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
I'm very happy for that. That's great.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I feel bad for them that they were now were
bringing the trees back. Well, I feel bad they were
announced the day after the trees. Oh we didn't have
trees for the while. That's right, yeah they are, they
are right, But I feel bad because the Wolves obviously
that that went nuts and the lad are like, hey,
by the way, yeah, we've got our twenty fifth anniversary
UNI too, and we're all like, yeah, we know that's great.
(15:41):
This just shows you they're in like a different spot
the inbox. Are you looking for contributions? We've got some
good ones. We've got multiple again, second week in a
row from P. Kessler. People are obsessed with Kessler, so
you can go if you if you stay away from Kessler,
you have a great opportunity to be read because I
don't think you can go over the top on a
couple of the ones that we already got JG.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
At kfan dot com and we are pretty much wide open.
The rest of the program out today at six o'clock.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Don't go away. Time now for the Vikings Report on
the Fan, presented by Miller Lyte Vikings wide receiver Adam
Thielen joins Denver Rairo Next.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Man Dayline, Chicago, Illinois, Wrigley Field, North Side of the City.
(16:42):
Game three, winner take all, well not winner take all,
but winner advances to the next round. Loser eliminated Padres Cubs,
and the Cubs have a threat in a scoreless game.
Basis loaded now and nobody out in the bottom of
(17:02):
the second. Do you happen to notice who is the
starting pitcher for the San Diego Padres of Anaheim?
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Is that you Darvish? You Darvish?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Remember when Lavell told us we came within an eyelash
of signing, you darbish member, We were, we were in it.
Remember that.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Remember that nonsense that he basically pawned off. I mean,
the twins let him milk that for a decade about
you know, you can't say we've never been involved in
some big names.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
We made a couple of phone calls.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
There was some conversation with you, Darvish when you know,
and I know there was noe. There was not a
chance in hell that you Darvish.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Was coming here.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
And I'm just amazing he's still pitching. That was what
I was going to say, Like about fifteen twenty years.
Didn't he end up signing with your cubs? He did, actually, right,
and that's that whole contract. I'd say it was six
years because you were willing to go five. That's it.
If you remember, we were willing to go five, and
I think they ended up giving him six. By the way,
Tiger's in good shape and also the rubber game of
their best of three wildcard round, the Tigers leading Cleveland
(18:13):
six to one. They have in the bottom of the six. Yeah,
with the way they collapsed in US. Yeah, yeah, you
can't collapse like that and then lose to the team
that jumped you in the standings. And you're probably right
about that. The Guardians won the division, right they did. Yeah,
I'm pretty sure they ended up winning the division, didn't they.
They they had to because that's why they had the
They had the series there. So in any case, uh, yeah,
(18:35):
you darbish. I'll may remind me to get Lobo going
on it. By the way, Lobo did text us earlier,
did you basically saying that when he had that good
connection in Puerto Rico, it wasn't a cigar shop, it
was from my hotel room.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I think there was a power outage. I don't remember.
I don't remember that either. Yeah, I'll take his word.
I don't remember it that way.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Who's to say. Maybe that was Beijing when he got
COVID had to stay in his room for a while
off and then we called this hotel and it cost
us thousands of dollars and we can't we can't get
good coffee because of it.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Basically, remember when.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
When we got them that phone call from the concierge
at his hotel about the fact that he'd left all
his underwear behind and they didn't know what to do
with it.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Yeah, they said it to the Start View building.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
That was part of the reason why they imploded that
one twenty five Portland Avenue. They're in the Capella Tower,
now long gone.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
All right, we got some good items for the inbox today.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
It's time only time will tell babies every Thursday, right
around four thirty, brought to you by Nobody would love
to be You just call Barb, call ob emailer, find
her on social media.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
I had a big thank you to a little bee
she came through. You know, I wanted the thinner new
caffe and hoodie. Yeah, but by the time I got
to them at the fair, the size I wanted XCEL
was they were out too popular popular, And I said,
she said, I'll get it for it, I'll get taken
care of And then you know this much, so much
time had gone by. I said, well, she probably forgot
(20:07):
came through right there, I got it. I got my
new hoodie. She did forget about.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
It, Oh she did well, because I said, you've got
a package addressed to Dan and you, which is not
a typical pariot here, right, That's true because we actually
I ended up walking off of an elevator today. This
is way too much info for everybody. She was on
another one and I said, hey, by the way, there's
a package for Dan and you.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
She's like, that's weird. What the hell is that?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Oh, it's the Hoodie's Special Order. It was just for you.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
No, that's true.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
I mean that was a one off.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Can't wait. It's almost too hot to wear. It's unbelievable.
Let's go, dear doctor Dan. The Minnesota Twins have announced
their intended to sell the team prior to the twenty
twenty sixth season. As the patriarch of our family, Carl
not the best packer owner stated started in banking by
for closing on family farms and the Great Depression. We
have realized our fans are living through the Twins great pressure.
(21:00):
We don't have any money to run the team. So
one hundred fans who came to the games and tried
to get us for extra gift cards. After the fire sale,
the media personnel who were forced to cover this crap
deserved better, even el Neil the third. We fired Rocco
because of the lack of results, which we caused by
slashing payroll. We believe we should hold ourselves to that
same standard. We need to get fans relief and recovery
(21:23):
from our hoard ownership, especially these past few years. We
hope the new owners will reform our team into a
better situation and bring winning back to Minnesota. This from
J Pole at J pol Ed, Bpole at Bpole Ed
and multiple minority owners. I guess, so apparently they're back
for sale. Your thoughts, I wish, I wish that were true.
That can't you think that could happen? That what a
(21:45):
what a what a great? You want to talk about?
A plot twist? They would have the town rejoicing. That
would be it. By the way, I mentioned that we
has Roco surfaced in any media reports seen him, So
I reached out to Rocco via text and.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Got a nice reply from him. He says he's doing okay,
he's fine. He appreciates the sentiment of all the folks
who are asking about him. But and I think he had,
you know, one of those comments about when one door
closes another one might open. It was typical kind of
philosophical roco very Baldali lama like. But I'm glad, he responded.
(22:25):
I hope he's doing well, and I did. I did
mention to him. You know, if he wants to talk
off air, he glad to help. If he would like
to have a form on here, he certainly deserves it,
I would think, doesn't he If he wants to.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Toss, we'd be glad to give him that too. So
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
My guess is Roco is going to be high road guy.
Yeah to all of this, yep, But I'm not buying
the theory that Rocco wanted out. I think now you
can go with the Lavelle theory, which is he's better
off being let out of his you know, taken out
of his misery because of the impossible way to manage here,
given the circumstances that the way this team is run.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Well. Along those lines, we got a letter from Rbaldell okay,
and I'll just it doesn't need to interrupt your solawyer
role too much. So he says, dear doctor Dan, if
you happen to talk to Jay Polatt ord Faldi, I
don't have their contact info anymore. It was in my
company phone. Please convey for me. Thank you, thank you,
thank you, Our Baldelli. So this R.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Baldeli thinks, yeah, they did him a favor.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Well, I mean, deep down, that might be the way
our Baldelli feels he need to indicate that in the
text exchange, but it was fairly brief.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Who knows.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
I mean my guess is there may be some relief,
but I don't think. I don't think our Baldelli would
walk away from this job on the basis of this.
You know, like I said, the climate, the circumstances, et cetera.
You know, one of the things that apparently worked against them,
and the ball guys love this. There's a stat I
don't know if it's Baseball Abstract or Baseball America or
(23:55):
one of those fancy analytic organizations that Kevin Kernin admirers.
They do a thing before he seasoned about expected wins.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Oh yeah, right, yep, And so god knows how they
do it.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
I'm not here even to tell you that there might
not be any wisdom to it, but that's what has
been trumpeted in this case. For I guess, twins apologists
trying to explain the assininity of firing a manager under
these circumstances.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Well, yep, expected.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Wins minus eight one year, minus twelve another year, et cetera,
et cetera. But I can remember we even talked about
a couple of those predictions that I'm going, huh, how
is this team projected to win that many games? And
these weren't, like I said, just average columnists saying here's
what I'm predicting. It was allegedly built on, you know,
(24:48):
solid research involving those players. So that too much of
baseball and really too many baseball media people have become
prisoners of those numbers.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
And we see another ample of it.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
I like this one too.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
He's got a lot of Twins this week, as you
can imagine, Dear Doctor Dan. As another season comes to
a close for America's favorite pastime, it's important to look
back and celebrate some of the milestone accomplishments by the
Twins this season. Record level attendance at t Field numbers
(25:24):
never seen in the history of the stadium, meeting and
surpassing the concourse cash budget for the season, renewed our
vows to Twins fans by removing from the I guess
f marketplace and seeking additional owners soon to be named,
with exciting changes possible. Celebrating the third most winning his
(25:45):
coach in Twins history by reassigning our Balldeli to some
other role in the Twins organization in some capacity someday maybe,
I'm sure we'd like to thank the fans and look
forward to similar successes in the years to come. Go Twins, sincerely,
de falbi. As dictated by Jay Polad, they did surpass
their concourse cash budget. Can you disagree with that? That
(26:08):
was fact that was reported by Jay Bonus. That's not
fake news. It's it's it's been I think it's been
demonstrably proven. Well, there's there's been a lot of discussion
about the dfauve double talk words salad game as he
as it played out again in the press conference that
I think El O'Neil attended this one, though again I
(26:32):
he's not the first to do it. But it's just
it's so hamhanded when you try to have it both
ways and to say, you know what, this is my responsibility,
but I'm.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Firing rock right, you know, it's it's what why bother?
I mean, in all seriousness, because it's not your responsibility
you Obviously, if you thought it was your responsibility this mess,
you would resign, he said, I'm not gonna wait to
be dismissed, So don't try to have it both ways.
If you think you got evidence to indicate we needed
to make a change, or it's time to make a change.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
As manager, just do that.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
But don't pretend that you're assuming any responsibility or feel
any responsibility in that regard when in fact you've decided
to spare yourself.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
You're not firing yourself, and you're not resigning for your position.
It's time for you, Dear doctor Dan, What is going
on in Minnesota? I wouldn't know, because I just realized
we actually have a franchise there in just the last
(27:34):
couple of days. So I'm asking you. You have a
coach that acts crazy. The only thing she didn't do
is throw a chair across the floor just because we
don't call a few fouls lighting up and then a
superstar player decides to pick on me, the commissioner of
New York, I mean, the w NBA. Does she think
I care what she thinks? From Minnesota? Do they even
(27:56):
have a downtown skyline there? Ps? How lucky is to
be in my league? See Engelbert well played, and we're
gonna get to a lot of that.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
We're gonna revisit that story probably about five fifteen, maybe
five thirty. I forgot right at six, so we might
actually begin it right after the top five.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
At five.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
I saw a note.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I think it was Johnny who brought it to our
attention that the same referee crew that refereed game three
of the Links series, the most recent Links series against
who US at Phoenix. Yeah, is among the cabal of
officials or referees that are in the pool to participate
(28:40):
in to officiate in the WNBA finals.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
I don't know, is that a bleep you maybe do
we not have?
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Is it possible WNB doesn't have enough officials to be that,
you know, selective. I'm not exactly sure what happens officiating
going forward. Doctor Dan actually thinks there's two subjects it
needs to be need to be explored. One of them
is probably getting a higher grade of official, but I
don't even know how you do that. The other one, though,
(29:09):
is you've got to have a philosophical bent as a league.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Right about all right.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
What do we want to encourage and what do we
want to discourage? Do we want more finesse in our game?
Do we feel like whatever, you know, the athleticism of
many of our players is lessened.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
By the physicality of it.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Or do you want to go the other way, which
is no, no, no, come on, come all, no blood,
no foul. That's that's part of what we pride ourselves
on w NBA. That's philosophical, is it not yea? And
because then if if you once you send that message,
perhaps in the officials themselves, they have a mission about
whether you're going to call it closer or you're going
(29:50):
to call it looser.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Correct, that's the issue. Has time for a doctor box,
Doctor Dan. I wouldn't say permanent, but I'm getting to
know the folk around here. One in particular, I'm getting
to know very well, if you know what I mean
(30:12):
by this studio is nice, but you know it's even
nicer as a beautiful lady's smile. I had my time
traveling the States and going across the country. The only
guy I know that has traveled more than me over
the last handful of years is probably t Brewster in
the amount of campuses he has coached at this p
Fleck might be onto something. But this quarterback, Doctor Dan,
which will satisfy you something I was never able to
(30:32):
do as head coach of the Gophers.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Come visit me in Fargo sometime. Guards you.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
By the way, your mom told me to tell you
good luck on the sidelines this weekend in the horseshoe.
Speaking of horseshoes, the Gophers are going to need to
pull one out to win the game this week. Go
smell the roses, Doctor Dan.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
G Mason.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
So, you know what one of the challenges of lately
of having g Mason on our show, whether he's in
this studio or in a Fargo studio or traveling the
country up with Topo, his his his dog, his trusty
companion dog, is knowing there's a at best fifty to
fifty chance that he's actually watched the gophers most recent game. Correct,
(31:11):
That's become the biggest challenge. As he was, you know,
honest enough to acknowledge, he always tells us when he
doesn't watch. The problem now is is that's most of
the time. However, it's better when he was working with
the Big Ten Network.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Yes, however, last week, if you remember, he watched every
game Yeah, that's true. You went through the entire wait
and he watched all of them. So it must have
been a busier weekend for him in Fargo. This past weekend.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
He's visiting every fancy restaurant Fargo. How many fancy restaurants
are there? More more than you think, more than you
would think that. Yeah, So who likes Fargo better? You
or Mason?
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Or is it?
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Or is it Where's Nebraska? Is it Omaha you liked better?
I can't remember. Do you like Omaha better or Fargo?
I mean they're pretty close. Okay, yeah, they're pretty close.
I like him both far. I haven't been to Fargo,
while I need to get back to Fargo. Mace, like
we know, basically lives there. All right, here's this is
doctor Dan Inbo's history.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Okay, so you're gonna have to You're gonna have to
bear with me a little bit because I have enough
work on this. I have enough problems reading in English sometimes,
all right, so just be ready. Okay, it's time, And
I don't know if I'm gonna say most of these
words right right? Caro daughter Dan parche questa, Tierra Pedi,

Speaker 3 (33:45):
I don't think my Italian's very No.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
I didn't see it didn't seem to trip off your tongue.
You're not good on the Romance language. I don't think
Spanish or Italian. That sounds really, really good. There's no
question about that.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Dear doctor Dan, I've run a foul of the local
authorities in Rome and need you to vouch for me.
Everything was going great. I felt like a supermodel ten
times strutting into Vatican City for my audience with the Pope.
Now I'm in a cell trying to convince security that
I did nothing wrong in the Vatican bathroom. People of
Italy need to know tourists are not crooks. Well, I'm
not a crook. I told them if they let me out,
(34:20):
I'd use my vast political knowledge to help them determine
which of their parliament members were pro Italian and which
of them were anti Italian.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Can you help me, doctor Dan? P.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Kessler, and I guess there's more now those two I
got to the way from Kessler. Once you do the
Italian one, there's no coming back, No, there's not.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
I mean, in fact, that's almost unfair to the writer
of the last one, because you can't top that. I
mean that one I don't think could possibly ever be topped.
And hopefully sooner or later we will. P. Kessler will
resurface because, as you say, he's kind of gone off
the grid, which is very unusual for him.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Right, Yes, very unusual. You want a couple of walk off.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
He ran into G clooney somewhere along the line and
he's hanging. They're hanging with the Cloney.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
I'm guessing cloning. He's not the most accessible, you know
what I think.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
And he's like, what welcoming, you know, waving people into compound.
G Clooney's got some pretty good security. You're probably right
about some walkoffs, Dear doctor Dan. I really agree with A.
Edwards on how I can get better sleep. So maybe
I can take some time off from one of my
twelve jobs, Jay guard. I do need to sleep more him.
Although when I sleep, when I sleep more, I don't
(35:32):
feel better. Yeah, that's a problem. El Fisher and I
talk about it all the time. Sleeping better and not
drinking we're supposed to feel better doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Doesn't work either way. I'm not buying it.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Dear doctor Dan, what's the longest player, coach, player or
coach has lasted while being a guest on your program?
Asking for a friend a feeling? Oh man, that's a
really good question.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Well, M Zimmer didn't we have him on three years
something like that? I think he lasted three and then
and then he was no longer doing our show when
he got fired.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
That's true, Right, we moved on. We had a Patterson
for two years we did, That's true. It was really good.
He was outstanding defensive coordinator. That's a good question. Now
you you'd be better with that than me.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
About the longest we've had Peterson the DV was he
more than one year? This one year he was one
one year and he was done, right, he was done
cam bying them was one cam bying them? Last year
was one? Uh then what there was one year? I
think we just kind of moved it around, wasn't there. Yeah,
it was a lot well, Dalvin Cook was a couple
of years. We had Dalvin for a couple of years
we did. Yeah, I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
We had Dalvin and then we had we moved it
around Cook. It was a lot of latous murray. Oh yeah,
A train was outstanding.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
Train was good.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Yeah. And the year we moved it around, it actually
worked out great because we moved it around right into case.
That was year right we blundered into ce Keeno because
we didn't really we were moving things around. It was
tay Train, it was Dalvin, and we we kind of
locked in on Keenum the rest of the year because
Keenum walked in on us. It was part of his routine. Yeah,
that was perfect. He needed it. He needed it.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
He felt like we were actually part of his good luck. Yes,
his good fortune. He would have been bothered if we
didn't do the bit. Yes, because he was very superstitious guy.
That's what we told ourselves. At least at least we
wanted to believe it.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Now, maybe is that part of the fallout for Keenum
is that when he went to Denver KOA and Denver
didn't do with them. Now, that was their mistake and
it never worked out after that. They never lost their
their themselves in his eyes, that's the problem. We had
be Lieber for one year two thousand and nine, my
first year with you, we did. Yeah, I don't think
we had him the second year and that ended, you know,
(37:36):
with his past interference in the NFC Championship game that
didn't end well.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
It was not a good call. No, it was not.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
That's true. That doesn't mean we can't tease him about it.
And it doesn't come up weekly. Then I'm trying to
remember who else we had. We've had some good ones, you.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Know, Chad and Barrero once had Denny Green as a regular.
We had See Carter as irregular. Yeah, if you want
to go back far enough, we had Fran Tarkenton as irregular.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
We did until that was so it wasn't two full years. No, No,
we did until we didn't think it was about a
year and a half. I still blame b Hagen for that.
I've tried.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
I thought he was going to get he was going
to grease the wheels to get some sort of a
summit meeting, to get that type ofture, and it hasn't
happened to this day. If he's out there, you know,
it's still could be in the cards. He could make
it happen.
Speaker 1 (38:20):

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
