Speaker 1 (00:01):
Just in case you missed it, it's the top five
S four sawers of the day.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Now it's time for Dan.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Barrero's Top five and five, brought to you by Gutter
Helmet of Minnesota. Never clean your gutters again. Learn more

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Mace was holding me up at the vestibule. There's always
there's always good stories during the maze segment, and there's
good stories afterwards as well. Here's my suggestion. We extend
the top five so you can start it now. Okay,
but that don't rush through it. And we'll extend it
and then get to Kessler at five point thirty. So
take your time. There's enough to get to. You do

(00:56):
not have to feel obligated. We got to hit, we
can hit the straddle, but we can go. We can
go to the five twenty sports fix. I have no problem. Okay, yeah,
we can do that. Here we go.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Time now for the obligatory Kevin Fallness Minnesota Wild Minshiteah.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Did you expect anything different? Wild or inaction? You'll hear
it right here on the fan. It's listed as an
eight to thirty puck drop against the Hurricanes tonight at
oh I almost made a mistake at Grand Casino Arena.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
There you go.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
It's actually closer an eight to fifty five puck drops.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
So this is the second game of a twin bill,
of the double header, basically the National double header? Is
that the bit? Yeah, it's a it's a TNT terror
So it's going.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
To be close to nine eh huh.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah, wow, thinking about being a hurricane. People be in
the glass? Yes, awfully, who's in? Who's in the net?

Speaker 4 (01:41):
Tonight?

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Lost that? Think about it? Is this three out of
the last five. No, uh, he's had a good little run.
He had a good little run.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
Yeah, well you got it. Yeah, you gotta hospus is
good as well.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Well, here's the thing. I mean, people like to get
into and have fun with the goalie controversy, and we
had a question for Louis yesterday about who should be
the number one goaltender. I just I don't think any
of this is controversial in all seriousness because the way
the National Highey League is set up these days, the
cliche applies. You need in a basic case scenario, you've

(02:15):
got two good goaltenders, and who gives a bleep whether
one guy plays a little bit more often than the
other The big news is Walstead is emerging, and that's
what everybody's been waiting for. The concern was all the hype,
we've not really seen any payoff. Maybe that was because
of what surrounded him, but that's to me, what you're
looking for is his emergence and the idea we have

(02:39):
to get in even it's almost an ESPN debate question
that's not worth the time. I don't give a bleep
who you want to call or who should technically be
the number one goaltender. The way I think this is
happening is that if Walstid continues to play as well
as he's played, or continues to show this promise, what's
going to happen is there, he's going to play a

(03:01):
lot more games. So it may be let because I
think originally it was we know who our starter is
and every once in a while we'll throw a bone
to the kid because we can't play our number one
goaltender the entire season, right and now it just it
gives to me, It gives the coach, the head coach
more flexibility that you got two good If you've got
two good goaltenders going, you got a chance. This is

(03:23):
like the quarterback cliche. We've got two quarterbacks, you don't
have any No, if you have two good goaltenders, you
have two good goaltenders correct, And that plays well over
the course of an entire season.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
And sometimes it feeds into each other where one guy's
really gone correct and it makes the other guy better,
or it's one.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Guy happened to be hot for a period of time.
We ride that a little bit, but we know we
still have a pretty good alternative when he cools off.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
My biggest story with the Wild besides Valstet, is that Danilla.
You're obviously getting his big break tonight. He's on the
dis Yeah, we talked about it yesterday. The Luigi's on
your side on this one. Yes, yes, big time.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
It's and it has to last more than two shifts.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
And the good news is well, the only guy who
would take that spot from Xeric Sinak, which he could
and he has done in the past as far as
center the top line. But I would like to see
this play out for at least this whole game and
see year Off try to connect with his Russian brethren
and Caprice Off.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah, see what happens. It's worth it's it's absolutely Uh,
it's I thought to say it's worth a try, it's
actually required. I mean, at some point you have to
find out because we've talked before, you got to have
some other guys emerged, for sure. All right, let's do
the jump straddle. We'll get to some injury report stuff,
vikings related. I'll get back to the Chris Carter saga,
the latest there and anything else that is of interest.

(04:33):
I know you've got maybe a little woolf stuff to
discuss as well. They're back in action as well. All
of that before special k Pat Kessler at the bottom
of the hour. Just in case you missed it. I
love to stagers of the day.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Now it's time for Dan Barrero's Top five and five,
brought to you by Gutter Helmet of Minnesota, never clean
your gutters again. Learn more at gutter Helmet mn dot.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Com and the Beauty It is a great sponsor, gets
it's due, gets a little extra push, a little extra mentioned.
Because there's the occasional time we got a five o'clock guest,
so everybody wins. As Brett Blakemore continues an expanded edition
of the Top five at five, Kessler is in the wings,
waiting in the Wings. Well, go Wolves. The other game.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
There's two games taking place in the Greater Minneapolis Saint
Paul area. I'm going to one of them. It's not
the one you think. After six thirty, I'm jetting to
the Target Center. Go see some Wolves with that for you. Yeah,
I'm trying to expand my horizons a little bit. Actually
done the updated injury report for tonight's game against the
very very bad.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
I think they're one and twelve.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
They're not very good.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
McDaniels is out left wrist brain. Devincenzo is available though,
so it's a loss. But if they lose, I mean
they should be able to beat the Wizards with one
hand tied behind their.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Back as far as i'm we had a nice conversation
with the new Wolves TV analyst Tom green Crean. He's
also apparently Bucks analysts, done some games and doing a
lot of college stuff too. Nobody has plugged in on
basketballs as Crean. He gave us a lot of good
wisdom regarding the Wolves what he has seen from them early.

(06:14):
And oh, here's even this note.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
It's not major, but I just.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
Wanted to play Chris Finch just now, literally thirty seconds
ago says Mike Conley will get the start tonight with
Jane McDaniel's house with Jayden out.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
So what we talked about with Creane is the one
thing the Wolves have done pretty successfully is flattened inferior
teams like Washington tonight. They have not played around to
the degree that they often do, and that's good. The problem,
of course is they've not yet wanted beaten a team
at all with a winning record. So it's early in

(06:49):
the year still so that that's not the end of
the world, but that's part of what obviously this team
has been good at over the years, and they're going
to have to get good at once gain. So I
haven't even checked the schedule, I know, I think either
right before right after Thanksgiving, they're going on I think
a pretty long road trip. So we'll probably you know,

(07:13):
of a period of time find out a little bit
more about this club. This is you're right, it's a
it's an extremely good winning opportunity. I hope though in
these games as they're as they're dominating, we're going to
get And we didn't talk enough about this with Tom Crean.
More of a steady died. A couple of young guys

(07:33):
who I just don't think on a consistent basis have
emerged early to the degree that you'd like to see.
So we'll see if that can be part of the
growing process. For the bench side of this team, we
kind of know, I mean a lot of the starters
they've been around for a while. But that's that's still
I think the work in progress part of the club

(07:55):
that needs to get better.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
We'll go to the Vikings Packers' injury report for the
Border Battle pending this Sunday. I count seventeen Packers on
the injured count.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
One too well, is that what Belichick used to do,
where he just would if he would just put everybody
on the list just to be annoying or are these
legitimate injuries?

Speaker 3 (08:15):
Well, the good news is for at least for Green Bay,
there's only one, two, three for five of them that
did not practice. Everyone else either limited or full okay,
but still that's a lot of people on the list. Meanwhile,
for the Vikings five people on the list. Is Grenard
on the list, Garnard's and the list did not practice today.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
It's for the Vikings.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
I believe it was a simulated estimated practice day. I
think that the Packers did practice today, all right. Wolf
Fried's did not practice. Grenard did not practice. But everyone
else dearisof full, Aaron Jones, fall and Ryan Kelly full
practice all right.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
And we talked about this yesterday. I think you when
you looked it up, the spread was like six and
a half or seven in this game?

Speaker 4 (08:51):
Is that correct?

Speaker 2 (08:51):
I believe it was six and a half last night.
I saw that's that's a lot of points. And you
know you don't have your tight end, right you don't?
So is your is your number one? Is it official yet?
On Jacobs? Is he in or out?

Speaker 5 (09:03):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Questionable questions? Questionable? Isn't out?

Speaker 4 (09:09):
Nope?

Speaker 2 (09:10):
So he's not doubtful. But I don't know if that's
the game they're playing, because I thought the assumption was
he was very unlikely that he would play this week.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Basically it was a toss between this week or next week.
So the he avoided anything major. I think it was
like a knee bruise is what they said, or contusion.
But yet did not practice today, and I think officially
listed is questionable.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Do we have the long term long range forecast for Sunday?
What's supposed to be like in the Bay. Oh, great question.
My guess is, well, who knows it. He'll be brisk, windy.
Maybe that could end up being a little bit of
a factor. Did you also see the news now official
on your guy, Michael Pennix quarterback. Okay, well you're going

(09:53):
to get to it. Then, I didn't mean to step
on your touchdown call. He's now undergoing surgery, another knee operation.
This is a different need than the one I think
he's had operated on twice before. But what beyond that,
and that obviously means Cousins is the starter again in Atlanta.
The other part of the Penick story that's I've overlooked

(10:14):
a little bit with all the injury talk, is he's
not had a very good season. He's kind of come
back to the pack. Now there are people in football
who believe that half the battle is the offense. They're
asking him to run. I don't know if that's convenient
or that there might be truth to it, because I
don't study the All twenty two for Atlanta, but I

(10:35):
was high on him, coming out very high on him.
I liked him a lot. The one issue was health,
and maybe now we're seeing the health is going to
get in the way for him. But after a kind
of a promising start when when Cousins got benched and
he started playing, he's kind of come back to the pack.
A lot of his numbers are not very good right now.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
It took me that long to get through all the
pop up ads to get to Sunday's forecast for Green Bay.
It'll be fine. Fifty four is the high. It's a
noon kick, so that'll probably be around that time. So yeah,
it won't be too.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Bad at all. Just kind of the run of the
mill football weather, not hardcore winter weather.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
In no snow, lamb, I don't think in the forecast.
Okay enough, so yeah, I had that. The other quarterback,
I had Penix. Well we'll go to the other quarterback,
Shdor Sanders. Yeah, getting the starts. Whatever one in the
media has been waiting for for his big moment. He
had it last week and it was not very good.
He gets about as easy as an opportunity to Yeah,
you get Max Crosby on the other side, but the

(11:38):
Raiders are not a good football team. You have every
chance in the world to show how good you are
against that bad bat team.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Well you want to talk about I mean a mess
at the quarterback position, and because we've had our issues
here and can we ever get a you know, guy
we can invest in to keep changing year to year
and hoping that the quarterback whishper can get the best
out of them, et cetera. The Cleveland quarterback situation is
an abomin nation, right, I mean, it's just it's error

(12:05):
piled upon error. It all obviously goes back largely to
their investment into Sean Watson, but they're just kind of
making it up as they go along. I don't think
there's anybody who thinks Sanders is ready, but they at
this point they may feel like, what do we have
to lose? They have injuries in front of him, So
I have no idea, but I don't he'll It's one

(12:28):
of those deals where people are gonna pay attention because
of the name. Right if his name was Jobe Oaks,
I don't think anybody would care. They wouldn't be but
a sugar Sanders. So there's gonna be there will be
a lot of eyes on that game.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
Watching what he can do. Yeah, worst case scenario, get
a better draft pick.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
That's true.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
The other note I had to wrap Top five with
five is Jamar Chase and his suspension fiasco. So he
spit I can't remember who at threw a punch back
at him, and he denied it in the postgame jamar
Chase and I didn't spit. I wouldn't spend anyone. Yet
clearly they had camera footage four K caught spitting right

(13:04):
at him. So he appealed his one game suspension. So
how is he accounting for that?

Speaker 2 (13:10):
For the I mean, as anybody said, well, there's video
are you How can you say you're not doing it
when we've seen the video.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
Well, he appealed the suspension, saying and the hearer of
this suspension was a guy by the name of Jordy Nelson.

Speaker 4 (13:22):
Is that right? That is true?

Speaker 2 (13:23):
And he upheld the suspension. Oh okay, so he is.
I didn't realize JORDI was doing that kind of work
now died you.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
It was the same thing with there was another suspension
that he upheld I think against the.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Well, has he been out of the how did on
the last year he had for the Green Bay package?
Has been a while?

Speaker 3 (13:38):
Yeah, he had one off here they dumped him and
he had a year at the Raiders and he's like,
yeah that they were right, I'm pretty much cooked. So
that's what he had A good run. He did, he did,
had a very good run. It was very good, all right.
Lamar Che suspended for one game.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
Good extension of the top five to five into the
five twenty sports Fix questions for Kessler six four six
eight six brand Shawn Bryant Cafe in Tech. As always,
we may get to them. There's always a chance you'll
be blocked, so you won't get through anyway, but you
won't know it. That's the beauty of it. Uh get,
let's get to Kessie. A lot of good political stuff
to discuss with him. I got a couple of things

(14:12):
up my sleeve as well. Don't go away.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
I wish the American media would take a great look
at the viewers that the people in conference and find
out are they call America or anti America pan Kissler.

Speaker 4 (14:25):
Because people have got to know whether or not their
presidents are crumb. But I'm not a I can't trust Obama.
He's an air Pancussler. Tear down the dish wall. I
did nothing wrong at the Minneapolis Airport Sanatory young No
Jack Kennedy.

Speaker 5 (14:40):
Pakusler, and now to help Dan break down all the
tough questions in politics. It's our own kissler political walk.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
I feel like a supermodel, except like Times ten.

Speaker 5 (14:54):
It's Channel Force mankussor with.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
Dan moorero on the fan.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
I didn't know about that.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
What do you remember? The what play? The one again?

Speaker 4 (15:07):
Go ahead? What? What?

Speaker 2 (15:09):
I didn't? I did not identify your that that was you? Well,
I have had to give me a hint. I have
I contained multitudes number one.

Speaker 4 (15:17):
Yeah, you're a chameleon.

Speaker 6 (15:19):
But I know not the chameleon. I just have many
different layers, different voices.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Yeah, so I used the man of a thousand voices.
What was his name?

Speaker 4 (15:29):
Was that Peter Lorie?

Speaker 2 (15:30):
No, it was the cartoon guy mel blank blank. I
was gonna say Mel Blunt, the football player Mel Blair. Okay,
Mel Blair had in a thousand voices.

Speaker 6 (15:40):
And and on the Simpsons, Bugs Bundy, right, Bugs Bunny
Uh uh? Well Donald Doug, Donald Doug uh somebody Sam Sam?

Speaker 4 (15:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (15:52):
Yeah, a ton of them kids have no Well, let's
let's talk about the Simpsons. Uh the woman who does
bart Yeah, I'm just a lot yes talented? Oh god, yeah,
they're still on the air, aren't they? Is it like
that's rhetorical. That's a rhetorical question. Of course they're.

Speaker 4 (16:15):
On the air. I didn't know they were still on
the air. Yes, they're on the air. This I I
don't think.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
I've ever watched Simpsons. I think I don't think I've
ever watched that show.

Speaker 4 (16:25):
Oh my god? Is that?

Speaker 2 (16:27):
I mean, like, am I am? I canceled? Am I
out of the club?

Speaker 4 (16:30):
I am like, I'm gobsmacked.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
It's not the first time I've got all right, well, sorry,
here's here it is?

Speaker 4 (16:38):
What what that's a different one?

Speaker 6 (16:42):
Well, the thing is that I believe that this is
now and please look it up. Other than like Meet
the Press, I think this is the longest trying television program.
I swear to god, I think the Simpsons. Maybe you
come up with that you associate with Meet the Press.
The first name does any come into your head? Lawrence Speedback,

(17:06):
Well doesn't mean.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
The original modern Lawrence.

Speaker 6 (17:10):
Lawrence Speedback, who would interview everybody from Martin Luther King. Yes, yes, yeah,
I mean he was really dry, but he was you know,
he was a reporter. Well that was back in the
day when when reporters were reporters.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
You know, men were men. You know, Dorothy Killgallon.

Speaker 4 (17:30):
That is so good.

Speaker 6 (17:31):
I cannot believe you're coming up with his name. Speed Well,
I was thinking Kristin Welker. You know who your favorite
Kristin Welker, which was that Kristin Welker is the host
of Meet the Press right now?

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Oh you serious? Yes, I don't think any of them
are as good as they used to be. I know,
I sound like you know, old guy, and back in
my day the shows are better.

Speaker 4 (17:52):
I get it.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
I just don't think there's good Tim Russer was the best.
Tim Rusher was terrific, Absolutely the best. Ted Copple wasn't
Sunday but and it was terrific back in the day. So,
I mean, do you remember when the Vikings came perilously
close to signing a former Packer defensive back by the

(18:14):
name of Mossy Cade who had some very serious allegations
against him back in the day. We're going back decades,
and the story was that as of like I don't know,
one o'clock on that day, it was a weekday, the
Copple on Nightline was going to make the controversy surrounding

(18:40):
you know, the Vikings considering bringing Mossy Cad in his
number one subject. You know, it was going to be
his number one topic, and I was going to be
the local guy on with Copple to talk about it.
Unfortunately for me, it could have been a big break,

(19:00):
or it could have been a disaster because of Ted Copple. Probably,
I mean, Ted Copple was better at DECONC. It's just
like turning guests into jello than anybody, right, I mean,
but not in a Mike Wallace way, right, a much
more surgical, subtle way where at the end of it
you're sobbing into the microphone saying Ted, you're right. I

(19:21):
don't know what I was thinking. They at the last minute,
what happened? They just at the last minute decided to
go with a different topic. Something else broke and it
wasn't you know, we're flyover country. That's the business man
that was. I was that close to Nightline and then I.

Speaker 6 (19:37):
Wasn't to you, to you and Ted Coppoles as well,
here's the thing, well, here's what was going to be tough.
The kids don't know this.

Speaker 4 (19:43):
Go ahead.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
The Copple, the beauty I think of Copple was. But
my position was going to be I think I'd written
about it was don't get near Mossy Kate. Not that
he doesn't have a right to a second shot, but
this team doesn't have to be the team that necessarily
gives it to him. Copple being Copple, though I think
it was going to be the old you know whatever

(20:06):
that was, then this is now, why shouldn't he get
another chance? All that kind of stuff. So I probably
breathed a sigh of relief because Copple probably would have
taken me apart on the position. But what I liked
about Copple is if my position had been let him,
give him another chance, then Copple was good devil's advocate guy.
He probably would have pounded away and the other stick

(20:26):
in the other side. And that's the beauty of him.
I thought he could do that, and you end up,
I mean, he just ended up losing the debate.

Speaker 6 (20:32):
Now, we had great television in those days, back in
the day, and of course Ted Copple. A nightline began
on the night that Iran took all of these correct
fifty two American hostages. Was the story held them in
their embassy, wouldn't let them out. We thought they were
going to kill them all and that night it started,

(20:52):
and this kept going for years.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
And years ago. They said originally was We're just going
to stay on as long as this hosage crisis is gone.
And then at some point somebody said, we got something
going here, whether it's hostage crisis or not. With Ted Copple, yeah,
I have as you say that he was on forever.
Yeah he's still on now. But it's not the same.

Speaker 4 (21:10):
No, it's not, it's not. It's just not even close
those that was so.

Speaker 6 (21:13):
Dramatic back in the day when we were covering a
wall to wall correct and at some point you got
to move away from it, you know, the fires in California,
the right getting in Texas at some at some point
the news stations have to move away to something else.
But this gripped the nation and changed the political dynamics
of the United States. And it was the first time

(21:35):
that we ever really understood what was going on in
the Middle East. That's true, you know, other than the
gas crisis, because we are consumer driven here in the US.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
So yeah, I mean, boy, this is a great agile mind.
Uh he's Ted Copple still alive.

Speaker 4 (21:50):
Absolutely. I saw him on Sunday.

Speaker 6 (21:53):
One of my favorite Sunday Morning Deals is the CBS
Sunday Morning. Uh, there are a lot of great orders
on there, and Ted Toppole does pieces all the time.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
I didn't realize that.

Speaker 6 (22:03):
Absolutely, And you'll be happy to know that he went
back to Mount Pilot, did he really?

Speaker 4 (22:09):
Last year?

Speaker 6 (22:09):
A couple of years ago, went back to Mount Pilot,
Andy of Mayberry to find out what was really going on.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
I mean, is the hair still the same? It's it's
just great cop. He's got to be like one hundred
and two at least. Yeah, he's older than you, not much,
not much. Yeah, he's I said, Donald Duck a Daffy
Duck man a thousand voices because Daffy Duck was Warner
Brothers Looney Tunes along with Bugs Bunny. I don't think. Yeah,

(22:38):
he is incredible. It's not Don That is incredible knowledge.
Daffy Duck who did the road Runner voice? Who did
Mel Blank pepe him because he never spoke, but he
just did. That's all he did. Correct the Runner. Yeah,
Wiley Coyote never spoke, No, he was he was Wiley enemy.

Speaker 4 (23:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Run of road Runner. Yeah, And that may be the greatest,
may have been the greatest cartoon ever back then the
greatest rivalry. Yeah, the wit that attached to that was outstanding.

Speaker 4 (23:13):
Yeah, it's pretty wild.

Speaker 6 (23:16):
That's a that's an incredible get listener for that one.

Speaker 4 (23:19):
I mean, that's yeah, that's very good. That's deep knowledge
right there.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
This is from Texter Craig out of Boston, mass Mel
Blank at Kresky Auditorium, Mit. I thought it would be
empty with all these nerds.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
It was packed.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
I realized MIT students were like others, except they were
just good at math and science. That's from six one seven.
Guy so interesting. He assumed it's gonna be a bunch
of nerds there. It's Mit. But they were into it.
They were all into it because they grew up on
the same cartoons that the rest of us did.

Speaker 4 (23:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (23:54):
Absolutely, and mel blank, Now we would watch them. You know,
we were not allowed to watch cartoons in my house.
And so what sorry, man, what are you talking about?
What they it was the accusation that they were corrupting.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
Well, probably you had to read a book or I'm sorry,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry watch cartoons. Well, we could watch
him for a little while, like half an hour on
a Saturday morning.

Speaker 4 (24:16):
I explained to me, you get then you got to
go out.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Well, yeah, but I know on that.

Speaker 4 (24:20):
Side that makes sense. There's that's healthy, So I.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Can with that.

Speaker 4 (24:24):
I just looked it up.

Speaker 6 (24:25):
So mel Blank had had one thousand and five hundred voices.

Speaker 4 (24:30):
According to his son, he had that one thousand, five hundred.
That is correct.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
I thought the bit was Man of a thousand voices,
but I guess that's just because it's catch. But his
son claimed it was fifteen hundred.

Speaker 6 (24:42):
It's like land of ten thousand lakes, and you know
we really have more teen thousand.

Speaker 4 (24:46):
That's true. That's true. So Sylvester the Cat, remember that.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
I do. I remember Sylvester the Cat. So Sylvester, Daffy Duck,
Daffy Duck, bugs right, bugs, money, Yep, there are so
many who else on the list? You're looking, you're trying
to find it.

Speaker 4 (25:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
Why if somebody's saying why le E Coyote did speak,
he spoke directly to the audience, breaking the fourth wall.

Speaker 4 (25:11):
No, numerous times.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
That might be true. I don't remember it. The fourth wall,
the fourth wall at the camera to look at the
camera in the.

Speaker 4 (25:23):
Yeah, because because I'm here with the three walls.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
The fifties.

Speaker 4 (25:26):
Actually, well, but I mean, yes, right, they break they
break the wall. Oh my god, that's good.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
Well do you remember. I don't know how we're ending
up here, but we are. What was the mel Brooks movie?
There was a spoof on Hitchcock thrillers. What was the
name of the film. I would have no idea. Come on,
come through for us, somebody will find it. I think
it was one of his more underrated films. Young Frankenstin
was better. But I don't know if you saw it,

(25:54):
but one of the great scenes in comedy history is
there there. It's it's a long camera shot through a
window into like a I guess a dinner room, basically
where a bunch of people are eating. Okay, so in

(26:14):
the shot, the camera is getting closer and closer, you know,
getting closer and closer to where they're having the dinner,
and eventually it gets so close that you hear the
glass of the window breaking because the camera has done this.

Speaker 4 (26:30):
That's a spoof. Yeah, it's mel Brooks. That is god.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
And you have the all the people at the dinner
turning around and looking like what the hell just happened there?
And then you just go back to eating. Outstand high
Anxiety is the film High Anxiety, highly underrated, one of
his most underrated films. Okay, Parky Pig fog Horn, that's

(26:54):
really good. Roadrunner, Speedy Gonzalez your favorite, and you're somebody
saying which was my favorite? So I mean, that's just
really really And apparently Barney Rubble, he did Barney Rubble,
Barney Rubble, Dino the Dinosaur. I didn't realize he was
basically on the Jetsons really, according to Wikipedia, I didn't

(27:17):
realize he was ever outside of the Warner Brothers Brothers proof.
What do I know?

Speaker 4 (27:20):
That's what it says here.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
Wiley E Coyote, writes Layr Tom did talk once in
response to a second scrolling down in response to two
cartoon kids watching who wondered a loud why he wanted
so bad to catch the road Runner, and he went
through the many different parts of the road Runner and
how they tasted. I don't think you get away with
that today to controversial.

Speaker 4 (27:43):
Yeah, that's that's uh.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
You would be hurting Wile e Coyote while E Coyote
get it Coyote. Elmer Fudd, Oh yeah, Elmer Fudd was
that well not but you couldn't do Elmer Fudd anymore
because that was a little bit of a speech impediment
that that Elmer had. Well, you know, she'd have some
similar today. Yeah, I had. I had the same.

Speaker 6 (28:02):
I had a speech impediment as a as a kid
and went to speech classes.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
And all of that.

Speaker 6 (28:07):
So did Bill Walton stuttered and list and I still list,
but I don't stutter a yeah.

Speaker 4 (28:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
High Anxiety was made because he wanted to sing like Sinatra.

Speaker 4 (28:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
He in the film he's at like a lounge. He's
doing a lounge act and he is singing a song
called High Anxiety and sort of a Sinatra's style. Mel
Brooks mel Brooks is still alive. Correct, Rob Carl Weiner
has passed away and isn't Isn't mel Brooks still celebrate
his birthday? I think because they're best friends. That's the

(28:40):
bit I.

Speaker 3 (28:41):
Got him alive at ninety nine, just like a couple
of days ago.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
Can you imagine see again every guards he has said,
you know, give me your list of people that you've always.

Speaker 4 (28:53):
Wanted to have on you haven't been able to have on.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
Can you imagine how much fun it would be to
sit in this studio never gonna happen obviously, but an hour.

Speaker 4 (29:02):
A whole show with think about that history. Just ask
a question.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
In the first men of the show, you ask a
question and just sit back and that's it.

Speaker 4 (29:15):
That's all you got to do.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
There's so much history there that he knew everybody was
connected to everybody.

Speaker 6 (29:20):
You know, I thought I saw a video of him
the other day and he looks fantastic for one hundred Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
Well, who did the story? It may have been Seinfeld.
Somebody did a story. God, I can't remember who it
was that that they allowed the cameras in because Reiner,
Carl Reiner and who are you just talking about? And
mel Brooks best buddies and they would literally, like on

(29:48):
a Friday night, I don't know who would go over
to whose house? Why don't we go to the other's
house And they'd sit there to watch whatever, and they'd
have the old fashioned trays in front of them.

Speaker 4 (29:59):
The TV by side, watching whatever the case may be.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Think of the like, like I said that the show basiness,
intellect and talent.

Speaker 4 (30:07):
These two guys just sitting talking.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
To you, shooting the breeze, watching whatever show, either taking
it apart or lauding it. That's what they in the
last few years. That's what they did together every week.
And I think it was Seinfeld who did something with
him where he they showed Seinfeld kind of like showing
up visiting and talking to the two of them about
the relationship and so forth, I believe. And who's got
that mind today? That's a good questions that much. That's

(30:33):
a really good question. There may be some there probably is,
but yeah, but that's that's the classic. Some of that's history.
And you know they what they went, you know, how
they got to where I think we have it today.
I'd like to think. So, yeah, you were saying, oh
I thought you had something. It looked like you had
something on your mind. Brett Blakemore All right, Look, man,
was that ever a sidebar? How about? I enjoyed that.

(30:54):
I enjoy that actually.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
More than you can say something, No more than the
more than the when you're wrong with Guardzy, What was it?
Innate banter? Is that what it was?

Speaker 2 (31:04):
In Panter? Yeah, well it could be an eight, but
it's more likely inane. You're right, Yeah, well inane is
not quite as complimentary. No, it's not. It's definitely not.
I would say that's true. Mel Brooks turned ninety nine
on June twenty eighth. Somebody's telling me, oh, is that right?
Okay June twenty eight, Yeah, I thought, I just how

(31:26):
about that years old? By the way, there's apparently a
Spaceball's two coming out. Mel Brooks is a consultant.

Speaker 6 (31:34):
I never okay, you're never going to beat You're never
going to top space Ball.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
I love Spaceballs of the mel Brooks films. You didn't
even see it, probably, well, yeah, I had a ten
year old, Well then you probably.

Speaker 4 (31:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
Young Frankenstein is to me the greatest mel Brooks film.
Blazing saddles. A lot of people like better because it's
more politically incorrect. I still think for the producer Sai
while producer's hard argue with too. I don't even if
you'd make that's what anymore? You can't. But Young Frankenstein brilliant.

Speaker 6 (32:03):
Can you imagine making a musical today about Hitler?

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Now?

Speaker 4 (32:08):
Hitler is springtime in Germany? Yeah, it's the name of
the celt I don't think you can get away with that.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
No, you can't usually, so which is sad and we
will let we can't do anything, all right? So where
are we are? The Epstein files already released, so we
all the votes are in, right, So both the House
and the Senate have voted. And part of what you
need to cover is what does that even mean that
the Epstein files released? Does it literally mean they all
will be released? Do they have to be called?

Speaker 1 (32:35):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (32:36):
Somebody reminded me who was it? Was it the speaker
basically saying well, they can't be released because there's issues
of national security involved. So come on, I'm just saying
that's what he says.

Speaker 4 (32:47):
Okay, let's let's you know.

Speaker 6 (32:49):
I will ask you straight out the bill I just
checked a few minutes ago. The bill has not been signed.
He said he's going to sign it as soon as
it reaches his desk. Has not been signed. Do you think,
Dan Burrero, yes, Danny boy, do you believe that he
will release the Epstein file?

Speaker 2 (33:06):
Well, again, I need help on what does that even mean?
Because we like to think, well, they're all in one place.
You know, you open a file cabinet, there's all the
Epstein files.

Speaker 4 (33:16):
We're going to release them.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
And I don't know that it's that simple because I
assume there's a lot of different agencies involved. So you
tell me, well, here's I mean when people refer to
the Epstein file.

Speaker 6 (33:26):
It is my belief that President Trump will make America
wait again.

Speaker 4 (33:33):
Waiting to say that I have him.

Speaker 6 (33:34):
What do you think I was workshopping that not pretty
much all day.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
What do you think Blake bore Blakemore's check down. He's
thinking about the Packer injury list, that's all he Oh, yeah,
I know, I know.

Speaker 6 (33:47):
So I think that there is There are some prominent Republicans,
including those who authored the bill in Congress, who say
they believe that Trump ordered the investigations of Democrats in
order to say, hey, there's investigations underway. We can't release
any of these files. Yes, and so that is in

(34:12):
federal law. That is one of the things that the
Department of Justice uses to determine that and we can
make something public. This could be the new excuse they
have had issues apparently. Do they have videos do they not?
Do they have photographs do they not? Do they have
bank transactions do they not? The only thing I know

(34:32):
is that virtually no one has been convicted of a
crime here except Julane Maxwell. And there are more than
one thousand girls miners who are involved in this and
who have come forward in some way to lawyers, to
the courts, to the investigators. So now they're going to

(34:54):
try to figure out a way to get all of
this stuff out there. But what does it mean? As
a really good question? Can can the Department say no,
we can't have it? Pambondi, the Attorney General, said today
we have new info. That's why we are investigating these democrats.
We don't know that. Trump himself has been parsing words

(35:18):
saying we will release whatever we are legally entitled to release.
So that's the kind of word games that we're playing
right now. Are they going to release all of the
stuff from the Epstein estate, all the files, just all
of them that the Department of Justice has, And if
they're not ready to be released, I'm going to ask

(35:40):
why not? They have been promising to do this until
suddenly they weren't. You remember that Trump said I'm going
to release them, until he said I'm not going to
release them, and then I'm going to release them, not
going to release them. Now he says, the hell with it,
I'm going to release it. You can have whatever you want.
I don't even I think he said this. I don't

(36:00):
even care anymore. So that's kind of where we are.
Nobody knows exactly what it is. I do believe that
this is a victory for these Epstein survivors. We still
don't know the stories of these girls, and I'm saying girls,
minor girls, and we don't know the names of the

(36:20):
men to whom they were trafficked. So that's what I
hope we can find out beyond all of the stuff
with Trump, Clint Harry Somers.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
Harry Sommers, did I just see though?

Speaker 7 (36:33):
You did?

Speaker 2 (36:34):
He got He resigned from some big organization he's a
part of, and now Harvard has started an or is
it Yale?

Speaker 6 (36:42):
He was the President Clinton's treasury secretary. He was subsequently
president of Harvard University. He was on the board of
AI I believe whatever the company is in Aki and
he has a stepped down from that. And it's because
of emails that were released from the Epstein estate which

(37:04):
were extremely creepy, the cringe worthy. And he has apologized
because he was asking he was wanted to date a
mentee of his, perhaps a student, an older student, but
he was seeking relationship advice from Jeffrey Epstein. I mean,

(37:25):
I mean, we're in this Why do people do this
kind of thing.

Speaker 4 (37:29):
So, yes, he is.

Speaker 6 (37:31):
That has been revealed. Who knows if there's more there.
I should say at the outset again that there is
no evidence so far that President Trump was involved in anything.
We don't know that, and no evidence that President Clinton
was involved in anything yet.

Speaker 4 (37:49):
So you know what do we know?

Speaker 6 (37:51):
This was a fantastic victory for a lot of these people,
Republicans in particular Maga Republicans who pushed this and got
all the Democrats and Republicans to sign on. And maybe
this means that Trump is a lame duck. Maybe this
means that that that people are willing to go after
him a little bit more among Republicans too.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
Comedians in cars getting coffee is the Seinfeld show I
was referring to. That was the Whey with with mel
with mel Brooks.

Speaker 6 (38:21):
That is a great show. So that was that they
they interviewed them on that show. Yeah, in the Seinfeld Show,
right correct.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
In this case, I don't recall them actually getting in
the college car. He went to them, as I recall,
and visited them and then they talked.

Speaker 5 (38:36):
It was.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
It was, it was, it was. It was very well done,
extremely well done. All right, let's pause We've got a
couple other things to get to on the Kessler list.
Keep the text coming in as well. Six four six
eighty six the Bradshawn bryancaffe in text line back in
a minute.

Speaker 3 (38:52):
Louder thrown it back in style. You can catch them
when they're seventy eight, so they take on the Hurricanes tonight.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
It's not too late.

Speaker 4 (38:59):
You can not yes the vintage vibes and big time hockey.

Speaker 3 (39:02):
You can score your tickets now, wild dot com slash tickets,
Wild dot com slash tickets.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
All right, a little more, Pat Kessler, let me get
to this if I can find it. There's the McCarthy thing.
I some of the JJ McCarthy stuff. I don't know
if you're following this story, but it's getting very very
dizzying and wearying.

Speaker 4 (39:25):
Me stuff.

Speaker 2 (39:26):
Are you big on this is all about rewiring your
neurological pathways? Did you have any idea that that was
part of this whole quarterback saga?

Speaker 6 (39:37):
I would I I am now, I mean listening to
it just in the last few days. All I know
is I'd never heard of that kind of thing before.
But I want some of that. Can you get that
at any age? I think there's a pretty wire your neurological.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
A scientist who text has said no, that it's not
that simple to do. Blakemore came up with found something
on the internet describing some kind of attempt.

Speaker 3 (40:07):
Neuroplasticity is the trait that's fantastic.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
So that would be the ability to switch up in
that sense.

Speaker 3 (40:14):
So if you can learn new skills, Well, do you
think you have much neuroplasticity.

Speaker 4 (40:19):
I'm very nimble, That's what I've heard.

Speaker 6 (40:22):
I'm not And no, I didn't say that, you know, well, no,
come on, didn't We used to call that muscle memory.
That's not m might. Yes, no, yeah, muscle may. It's
got a literation, but it's not enough.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (40:43):
But I mean, so you if you're a quarterback, you
know how far to drop back, you know when to throw,
when to plant, when to run.

Speaker 5 (40:50):
You know.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
I think you're right what we're talking about, what we're
talking about. Yeah, but now that's now it's exotic. I'm
concerned for my guy. Well, the question is whether he's
got it either way, either way you want to describe.

Speaker 4 (41:01):
It, Well, my guy nine has it at he's got it.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
I love nine, does JJ McCarthy have it though, that's
the question.

Speaker 4 (41:10):
Well, nine has it? So can he not?

Speaker 2 (41:13):
Sunday?

Speaker 6 (41:14):
Well, on plasticity, can you switch from JJ to nine
for three hours?

Speaker 4 (41:20):
That's the question.

Speaker 2 (41:21):
This is from the cutting your nose despite your face department.

Speaker 4 (41:27):
Okay, I love that department.

Speaker 2 (41:29):
Here's the setup the head This is playing off of
a headline in the New York Times that reads Trump
tariffs pushed Japan's economy into contraction, to which Lori Ingram writes,
I was told America has no leverage, to which somebody

(41:50):
else I don't know who this person is, said, Hell, yeah,
we contracted the economy of one of our closest allies
in the world for three quarters of assentiary and the main.

Speaker 4 (42:00):
Check on China.

Speaker 1 (42:02):
We did it.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
Don't let anyone ever tell you America can't win.

Speaker 4 (42:07):
Come on, why is this a victory?

Speaker 6 (42:10):
So I'm interested that, Laura Ingram is perhaps the way
I interpret that, pushing back a little bit on that bit.

Speaker 4 (42:16):
So yeah, So.

Speaker 6 (42:18):
Is there a sarcasm font for that?

Speaker 4 (42:21):
That the.

Speaker 5 (42:24):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (42:24):
Because that is it gonna work?

Speaker 2 (42:27):
Is it not?

Speaker 4 (42:28):
I mean, people, you don't know this, but how do we.

Speaker 2 (42:31):
Win that way? Well, that's the thing that people want
the victory so much like, that's not a win for us.
It's not a win contracting Japan.

Speaker 6 (42:38):
Do you have any idea that in the middle of
the night on Friday night, just four or five days
ago of that, President Trump rolled back the tariffs on
many of the items that are that are going up
and costs like coffee, like some grocery items like beat
because it worked, because you know.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
It already did what needed we now we can pull
it back. We've got trillions of dollars coming in and
you don't know it. You don't you want to know.

Speaker 4 (43:06):
All I know.

Speaker 6 (43:07):
All I know is that I'm waiting what is this
middle of November, by the end of the year.

Speaker 5 (43:12):
It is.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
Didn't November nineteen.

Speaker 6 (43:14):
President Trump promise us all Americans we were going to
get a two thousand dollars bonus, a tariff check. Remember that,
we're going to get a two thousand dollars tariff check
in the mail. And because of the trillions of dollars
that we're bringing in, we're also getting I believe, a

(43:36):
five thousand dollars Doze check because we saved so much
money from cutting government programs with Elon Musk and Doze
we're going to get a five thousand dollar check right
to Blake Moore's mailbox.

Speaker 4 (43:50):
So I say I would welcome that.

Speaker 2 (43:52):
I know I would do.

Speaker 6 (43:53):
So, where's my five thousand does check? Where's my two
thousand dollars tariff check? And pretty soon we'll be getting
money for insurance.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
You're making this up, by the way, aren't you with
the well, it's your last item you're making. You're trying
to get me going that. In an exchange with a reporter,
the President said, quiet, quiet, piggy.

Speaker 6 (44:15):
He didn't say that. He didn't say that, Dan, Yes,
he did. It's a female reporter. There's some concern, and
I have this concern. I have a concern about disrespect
for reporters, for the decency that we used to have
in this country, and not the cruelty in the and
the and the lashing out. But on Air Force one,

(44:38):
she asked a fairly, not fairly, it was an absolutely
legitimate question about you have the power to release the
Epstein files. And by the way, he does, why haven't
you done it? And he asked her where she was
and quiet, quiet, piggy, that's what he said. He called
her piggy. He has this history of these called women

(45:01):
pigs before. It's misogynistic, of course. And to a female
reporter in the Oval office just yesterday with the Saudi
prince who the CIA, Trump's Intelligence office said approved the
killing of the Washington Post journalist Jamal Kasogi, she asked

(45:24):
a question about it, and he jumped in and said
that you don't have to embarrass our guest. Very controversial.
He said that Kasoji was a lot of people don't
like him. Things happen, And then he said, I think
we ought to take away the license of ABC News.

(45:44):
You are a terrible person and a terrible reporter, and
we're going to take away your license.

Speaker 4 (45:49):
So well, let's go back. Can I rewind this for
a moment.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
I'm going to say though, I mean, Koshogy was very controversial,
as Donald Trump said, a lot of people didn't like him.

Speaker 4 (46:00):
Hey, things happened. Things happened. Things happened when people don't like.

Speaker 2 (46:03):
You, usually with a bone saw.

Speaker 6 (46:07):
Correct, our listeners understand what happened. He's kidnapped by Saudi
agents of the Royal here Court in Turkey, Okay, at
the Turkish ms right, yeah, including.

Speaker 2 (46:19):
And then they got to get the body out and
they get him out into a field. But I'm saying
once they.

Speaker 6 (46:25):
They brought a bone, saw cut up the body, carried
it out to uh a forest and finished the job
out there. So they according to President Trump's c I
A intelligence people, that this was approved by.

Speaker 4 (46:43):
By Mohammed ben Salmon, the uh.

Speaker 6 (46:46):
The the crowd of the Crown Prince MSB or nbs
I should say, and uh and and in fact, one
of the members of the killing team was a member
of his private security force. So but don't ask questions
about it in a country where we have a free press,
because that's the past. And now we are going to

(47:09):
go after We're going to be friends with them. We're
going to make money with Saudi Arabia. And by the way,
the families, the two hundred and fifty families who are
suing the Saudi Arabian government because of nine to eleven
and the three thousand dead of the Saudi people who
engineered that massacre and terrorist attack, that's all part of
this too.

Speaker 4 (47:29):
So it's.

Speaker 6 (47:32):
Not just the journalism, but also it seemed kind of
crass and unseemly in the Oval office for the president
to be defending.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
Well, here's my comeback, would have been had I been
in the Oval Office, I don't probably won't ever be invited,
although I you know, was there once. Well, actually I
wasn't in the Oval Office, but the White House with
the eighty seven twins to the Trump common But you
don't have to embarrass our guest by asking a question.

(48:05):
I don't remember that same sentiment whenever he is vice
president or any reporter attempted to embarrass the head of Ukraine.

Speaker 4 (48:17):
So in the same spot.

Speaker 2 (48:18):
So it was okay to embarrass in that case because
it was what the president wanted to hear. He wanted
that person emasculated, so to speak. But in this case,
because it's somebody he likes more, how dare you this
is not the place to embarrass someone who is an
international leader. And that's what we call a contradiction. You

(48:39):
got to be consistent with this.

Speaker 6 (48:40):
Stuff, and the president of South Africa, same deal of
people who come in there, so you know you're entering
Trump's orbit. But this was a show, Trump's show, and
if this was his way to show strength by downplaying
the murder of an American journalist, stuff, I just don't know.
I'm there's so many shake my head moments here when

(49:03):
it comes to journalism, and people will say and that,
you know, I'll listen to anybody.

Speaker 4 (49:07):
Who says it. You know, well you deserve it.

Speaker 6 (49:09):
Well you you have been lying to the American people
and your left or your right or whatever it is.
This isn't the way that I think we should be
treating reporters, and certainly not the way we should be
treating victims of foreign torture and murder.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
Here's what we're going to do. Here's the plan. We're
going to give you next week off. We've decided that
you've worked so hard on our behalf oh man, nothing
in return, that your holiday present is freedom. No Kessler
appearance next week on Bumper to Bumper. How does that

(49:46):
does that move you?

Speaker 6 (49:47):
Well, it makes me a little sad. But I'll tell
you what I'm thankful for. What's that I'm thankful for
the deep friendship I have with Brett bery Lachmore.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
Yeah, understand, So you know you mean a lot to
me in a very short period of time. I mean,
but you've had plenty of opportunities to to to nurture
that relationship because guards he's never hear that. So it
works out, it works out for everybody right, that's yeah, Wellstall,
he's busy. He's busy. Go for women tonight. He's against

(50:16):
kut to put.

Speaker 4 (50:17):
You know, he's got to raise a family. He's got
food on the table. That's why I don't know Latrell Spreewall.

Speaker 2 (50:22):
I don't beg that he is at all. He's a
busy man. He's got a lot of stuff to do.
So will you be going to Wrigley Field for Gophers Northwestern?

Speaker 6 (50:32):
I will not, And I'm having fomo about disappointing.

Speaker 4 (50:36):
Well are you going to be down there? I will
not be down Okay, good at.

Speaker 2 (50:40):
The Gopher room that you are.

Speaker 4 (50:41):
I'm you know, I don't have to go to every
freaking game.

Speaker 2 (50:44):
You don't go to any anymore. When's the last game
for men's basketball game you went to last Saturday? Did
you really go? Was that the game we all want?
Blue almost lost?

Speaker 7 (50:52):
No?

Speaker 4 (50:53):
No, No, that was that was Uh yeah the green Bay?
That Green Bay? I did not go to that.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
Saint Thomas destroyed green Bay and we got taken into you.

Speaker 4 (51:01):
See that half court? Uh that half court shot though?
Both No, it was good.

Speaker 6 (51:06):
Yeah, so you know they're gonna be great. They're gonna
I don't know how they're gonna be Actually I don't.
It's a much different I think, faster, stronger, bigger.

Speaker 4 (51:16):
Team, and I think it's gonna be great.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
You can take Kessler out of the TV, but you
can't take the TV out of.

Speaker 4 (51:24):
You know.

Speaker 2 (51:25):
I love everything about its great. True.

Speaker 4 (51:28):
Thank you all right, man, Happy Thanksgiving in yours.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
Let's break, we'll come back wrap up the show in
just a minute.

Speaker 7 (52:14):
I hit a hear Oh, I'm a doubtful head. Now
I'm really upset, spicy. That's the law.

Speaker 4 (52:33):
It's the bumper to bumper show up.

Speaker 2 (52:35):
Sprotti by American Pression. Very controversial program today. We want
to thank all of our outstanding guests. That includes Mace
in your face between four and five. It includes Kessler
who just wrap things up with us, and if you
missed it, a good basketball conversation with Tom Crean, the
former college basketball coach who now is heavy into basketball

(52:57):
analysis both the college and pro level and at the
pro level. That includes on a lot of the FanDuel broadcasts.
In fact, he was I think just here last week,
make a couple more trips back does a lot of
his analysis from his studio in Florida. He's also doing
Bucks game games as well, so that was the guest

(53:17):
lineup today. We did talk about Chris Carter's reaction to
a rather vicious tweet from the private quarterback coach of
JJ McCarthy. His name is Greg Holcomb Carter. I gave
Carter the chance to go back on the air to respond,
and his only comment for the record right now is

(53:38):
who is this guy? Which I think is probably what
a lot of people aren't asking. He did not seem
particularly pleased, but he also, more than anything, he seemed annoyed,
and we may get Carter again in the next couple
of couple of weeks. I'll say what I said at
the top top of the show. I think their vikings
fans bitter with Carter being so snarky the acts, because

(53:59):
that's what Holcombe was reacting to. And I would say
that Carter is still allowed to be honest, even as
an ex player. And I'll also add, if you missed it,
we had Carter on Monday. If you miss that, I
don't know if the podcasts are working at this point,
but I believe that he was very I mean he

(54:22):
was not. I do not think he was scorched earth
with us on JJ. He was tough, he challenged, He's
obviously concerned, but I think everything he said was more
than defensible. So we'll let that whole story play out.
JJ McCarthy's best friend is getting back on the field

(54:44):
again and again and again and not being about neurological
what was the term, no pathological, Well, we're all plasticity whatever.
Just just less on all of the this this fancy
words salad, and more on just going on and making
better plays and fundamentals matter. We get that, but it's

(55:05):
one of those things where it's almost the full Pelf
conversation where at some point people aren't going to care
about the whys and your willingness to be accountable. They
just want to see you get better at it. And
the only chance he has to get better at it
is to be out there. And he's obviously going to
have every opportunity to be the starting quarterback for this

(55:25):
team the rest of the year, and that's what the
Vikings are obligated to do. That's absolutely what they should do.
Mace in your face today. That was between four and
five as well, and Mace got into the McCarthy subject.
He has his own concerns about what he is seeing
from the QB, and I don't think he's got any
dog in the fight. He's just like the rest of us.
He's paying attention to it, in his case with a

(55:48):
trained eye. He got the usual shots in at me
regarding me running him out of town as a coach
and mocking the hyphenated schedule for the probably the five
thousandth time since he's been on with us. So we
didn't necessarily break a lot a lot of new ground today,

(56:08):
but I think there were still some entertaining moments for
for sure, that is definitely true. I'll leave you with
this text. This comes from Nate out of man Cato.
How does Kesler not have a sponsor? This is worth billions,
not millions billions. Corner offices wild probably like to know
about that. I'm thankful for Dan and Pat. Thanksfellas, that's

(56:30):
Nate for Mankato. Thank you for the kind words. I
did pass along the text to Kesler before he left,
and he was very moved, very touched, and very very pleased.
Why don't we talk about local politics, the ones that
matter to the listeners? Well, we do often talk to
local politics on this show. And we have certainly with Kessler.

(56:51):
It just so happened today that's the direction we went.
But we talked plenty of local politics. I think most
listeners it's a combo platter. It's some of both. They
have local interest and they have national and international interests
as well. So maybe we'll even try to explore a
little of that tomorrow, and if the Texter has something

(57:12):
in particular stuck in his craw, let us know and
we'll try to include that as well. I think guards
he's back tomorrow, that's my plan. Then he's out Friday
to because he's heading to Chicago for Gophers Northwestern go
for women tonight against KU, a game you can hear
via the iHeartRadio app I think on It's also on

(57:39):
one of the stations. I can't remember which of those,
but you can get it via the app very very easily.
Tonight Minnesota Wild late correct, very late. That's on the
fan tonight, Yes, on the Timberwolves channel. You got Wolves
versus the Washington Wizards as well, so we've got you
covered whatever sports activity are interested in. It's also Wild weekly.

(57:59):
It's that's outstanding. Thanks for the help the last couple
of days. We'll see you again on Friday. Great work
is always from our guy, Brett Blakemore and we'll see
you again or hopefully talk to you again tomorrow at
three o'clock.
