Speaker 1 (00:00):
Shall we begin.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I gotta turn this down. Do wow?
Speaker 3 (00:33):
What that fut?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
And that's a fact. Let's go. Let's go, everybody, Let's go.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I'm a kid, so hikd.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Good morning. What's rise of shine? At nine?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yo? Pete Fox yo yo?
Speaker 4 (01:05):
You think these like are these new player deals ever
going to go official? I mean, seriously, LaMelo, Josh Green,
Isaiah Evans can't even take part in uh. I know
in the summer league we had we had the Summer
League coach on yesterday, and I mean it's like it's
this is.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
One shining moment for him.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Nathan Bubis, It's right, wonderful, wonderful young man too Boston College.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
But so he was, he was, you know.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
He was very careful with the way, you know when
I hit him with like, are we.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Ever going to get Isaiah Evans? Seriously? I mean, when
do these things go official?
Speaker 5 (01:39):
I think tomorrow is what it's supposed to be official.
But it is frustrating Pa and I think as Wolves
fans and as people talking about the Wolves going into
summer League, there's a lot of things that Timberwols fans
want to see in summer league. And I know we're
going to talk a little bit about it, but one
of those things is Isaiah Evans, and we don't really
have a guy on this Timberls roster as it currently
sits that's really a threat to come off of pin
(02:02):
down screens, come off of off ball actions, and be
catch and shoot ready. Without Dante DiVincenzo, I would assume
it can do it. Terrence Shannon Junior can do it,
but there's not really a true three point shooting off
ball guard on this Timberwolves team. Anthony Edwards obviously, but
he's more isolation with the ball in his hands. So
I'm excited to see when this trade and when everything
(02:24):
becomes official Isaiah Evans playing for the Wolves in summer League,
especially with guys like Joann Baron Jay and Rakozakarski setting
pin down screens for a truly really elite three point
shooter in Isaiah Evans.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
And in the current iteration of the Minnesota Timberwolves. If
you're Tarren Shannon Junior, yes, what are you working on
in the off season? I mean, and how hard are
you working on it? Because there's gold in them our
hills man.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
Yeah, I think if you were to watch TSJ and
you watch what he became in the postseason with his
ability to get north and sUAS his athletic attributes at
the rim, everything is with his left hand, PA, So
I think for TSJ, it's it's being able to kind
of mix in that right hand. Right we see how
athletic he is in the air, kind of contorting his
body to different finishes, but he always goes back to
(03:13):
that left hand. So I think, for TSJ, can you
get more comfortable with that right hand going downhill?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
And then that next step for him is I'm gonna go.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Dunk the ball because I'm athletic enough to I have
the ability to get above the rim. Now defenders are
coming over, Wemby's coming helps side, big tall defenders.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I gotta sneak quick dunks before these.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Shot blockers come over and try to play with the
block shots.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
All right, But aren't his minutes limited or I mean
he's he's been very in and out. Yeah, with the
rotation and the belief is the majority of it. The
majority of the reason is defense or lack of recognition,
anticipatory stuff quick twitch over or under a screen, here
(03:57):
comes the pick. So the quick twitch recognition, how does
one improve on that, well.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
I think there's a lot of things, and I think
you're right, Like there's a reason why the Timbers went
out and signed Jalen Clark to a three year deal
because of his defensive ability. Right, So, if you're Terrence
Shannon Junior, you have to find ways to put yourself
in the starting not the starting roster lineup, but off
the bench. Because there's Ioa Assuming, there's LaMelo Ball, there's
Anthony Edwards there we have really good guards on this team.
If you want to play, you have to bring something
(04:23):
to the court that's going to impact winning and I
think Chris Finch's has been clear about that since he's
been the head coach, like, if I'm going to put
you in the game, I have to trust that you're
gonna help us win basketball games. And for TSJ a
guy that's an off ball defender. With LaMelo who's not
the greatest defender in the world, you have to find
ways to compete on the defensive side.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Of the ball.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
I'm glad you mentioned that. In terms of getting minutes,
what can you offer this team? You have to be
productive in those opportunities because over the course of Finch's tenure,
you've heard it and we've disgusted nine to doones.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Man he doesn't give the kids minutes.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
There's still people out there saying, man, Dillingham got screwed
over by Finch. There are still people I've seen it
out there come on so exactly.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
So.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
But to that end, like Isaiah Evans or it's or
it's Baron Jay, is there an element now with with
nas gone and with Julius Randall.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah, not in the mix that there.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
It still has to be opportunities and productive ones at that,
but there is this is this is a good chance
for some of the youngins to maybe get some minutes
that wouldn't have been available before.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
Well, you're right, Nordo, And I think the other thing
is is like Chris Finch is in the gym with
these guys every day. You know, there's there's there's player
development guys with them every day, assistant coaches there every
single day, so you you know the insides and outs
of how these guys move, how they operate.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
But no, no greater stage.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
In the summer league, No greater stage than all these
summer workouts and practices for a guy like Joan barn
Jay or a guy like Isaiah Evans to show what
you have right, Like, the NBA is so different than
college basketball from just a playing standpoint, especially on the
offensive side of the ball.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
You know, defense's defense.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
You gotta you gotta hustle, you gotta box out, you
gotta you know, get in passing lanes, all that kind
of stuff. But when you set up an NBA offense,
it's different and either you kind of either have it
or you don't. Like you can find it eventually, but
we're gonna find out if there's any guys on this
summer league team that know how to run, you know,
an NBA offense. And a guy that I want to
mention that we should definitely keep our eyes on is
Devin mcglockton. He's a guy who went to Boston College
(06:15):
originally that he transferred to Vanderbilt.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
He's kind of nas redish.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
He has the ability to stretch the floor at six seven,
about two hundred and thirty pounds. He's a guy that
I think could really crack this Timberwolves you know, lineup
and roster. I don't think he's going to be a
playing guy, but maybe get a two way, maybe be
an E ten guy.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
He's a guy I'm really high on. So how does
Trey Kaufman Wren play.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
Yeah, great name to bring up guy that I played
multiple times in my career. Trey is a unique player
because he's about as strong of a guy as I've
ever had to guard. You know, when our coach was
describing describing Trey Kaufman Renny, he's as strong as an ox,
you know, just big quads, big calves. Strong, He's got
great footwork. But Trey Kaufman Renner is really a true five.
(06:59):
He can't really play the power forward position. So I
think if you're Trey Kauffman w Ren, you're looking at
this five spot and saying, Okay, Rudy's there, Rocco's there,
Yoan's there. I don't know how much time there is
for me, But if you're Trey Kaffin ren what an
opportunity in front of you right to back up guys
like Joan and Zakarski, guys that have been in an
NBA system for the past year and learn a thing
(07:21):
or two.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
His footwork is really good.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
So I think if you have a chance to play
guys like Joan and Roko every day in practice, you're
going to rise to that level of performance and hopefully
he's able to show some stuff in the Summer League.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
First of all, there's too many Jalen Williams in this
league because we have what there's two on OKC, we
have one, I think on our summer league roster. Do
question for you? Maybe it's a dumb one. Summer league's fun, right,
Summer league is a blast. It's a chance to get
to know some of these names. And I'm not trying
to put you on the spot, but can you think
of of a material or measurable example of a player
(07:57):
that went from maybe some obscurity in the summer League
for our team to then finding reasonable minutes or opportunity
once the game start counting. Terrren Shannon Junior certainly kind
of pops up in my head immediately in terms of like, oh, okay,
well everyone's talking about how old he is, but I
get it like he's kind of MBA ready right. That's
(08:17):
kind of how we discussed Dillon Hamm and Arren Shannon
Junior when we got them. But is there an example
of of of an opportunity or a player that takes
advantage of what he does in the seven h two,
and and and kind of pushes his way into the conversation.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Well, nasrite Is is a great example of that, right,
an undrafted free agent You know, I'm not free agent,
undrafted rookie guy that came out of college, as you know,
a really good player. He was a high recruit, but
just like wasn't ready for the NBA game. He goes
to Iowa, he plays in the Summer League, and Tim
Kyley and his staff and whoever is you know at
the helm there, it decides like this guy's good enough,
(08:50):
let's give him a chance in the NBA and then
you make the most of it.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Right.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
You mentioned Arren Shannon Junior, and I think that age
helps Nardo, Like you talk about being older seeing the game,
being able to experience that, like the college game is
such a step up from high school, but then the
NBA is just a whole another jump, right, so you
have to familiarize yourself with how the game works, how
people move. The NBA is so big about getting to spots.
You mentioned Jalen Williams. I think he's a guy that
(09:15):
you know is going to play for the summer League
team and he played at Auburn. He big, strong, guard
can shoot the ball from three. He's twenty five years
old as well, so he has experience. But we're gonna
see Roko Zakarski and Joan Barnjay this summer, and I
think it's going to be huge for them. Rocco is
probably going to play the five and start at the
Five's going to start at the four, which is going
to be new for Yoan, but I think they're going
(09:36):
to try it out, especially with this kind of who
knows what the power forward position is going to look
like for the Timberwolves. I think Yoon is a true five,
but we're going to see some mobility footwork from these
type of guys, and that's what I'm looking for the
most is how do these guys move out on the court,
especially when they're playing out of position. Are they comfortable
or does it just look really awkward and weird for
the big guys.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Pete Fox at Parker Fox two four via x off
our last chap, How hard did Belgium on drilling the USA?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Hit you? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (10:09):
I mean that was just one of those games and
Nordal can speak to it as well, like the USA
had to play a really great soccer game. They had
to show up and play much harder than they did.
The defensive effort wasn't there. They didn't control the midfield.
The Christian Polissa got thrown off the ball multiple times
early in that game, and I think that was just
kind of an image of what the rest of the
game looked like. Right, this is a better Belgian soccer team.
(10:31):
We had to play a way higher level of soccer
and we weren't up for it in that day.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Yeah, I just I'm not over it yet. I'll be
over it by I'll be over it, over it by
the weekend.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
We weren't.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
We weren't in a position throughout that tournament as good
as things had looked to play, as lackadaisical as we
looked at times, we weren't moon walking through anybody. And
even I mean even when I saw the lineup come out,
it was it was a little head scratching, hold on,
you're putting de Bruyne on that, you're making these tactical changes.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
It was a masterclass.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Not just from a personnel standpoint, we were outclassed from
an effort standpoint. We were forced to do the two
things that we hadn't had to do, and that was
defended at a high level in our own box, and
we needed better goalkeeping. I know, just a standard Saturday
football follies l by mister Freeze that.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Has us sitting here with a bitter taste in their mouth.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Elite, beautiful game minds, please help me with this. What
happened to Egypt yesterday? People officials the country are bemoaning,
as they call it, quote injustice end quote after losing
to Argentina.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
What happened, Leonel MESSI happened? Man? This this argentinaity injustice?
I mean I didn't want a goal taken away. So
you have in soccer, and again there are a lot
of people watching for the first time.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
What they can do now with the video assisted replay
is they can go back in time so you know
offside is a clear one, so that we needed to
know that before the pass was made to the player
that scored the goal, video says that initial player was offside, so.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
You can go back in time.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
In this case, Egypt scores a goal and the video says, well,
hang on like thirty five seconds ago in what you
would call the build up.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
So Egypt gets the ball and.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
They're starting to work their way down the field Egypt
committed a foul and so you're talking celebration. Everyone had
already forgotten what had even occurred down there.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Technically, by the letter of the law, it is a foul.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
I would say that it was that is tough for
me to stomach that they went that far back in
time and pulled back that goal.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
But in the end, the score line was what it was.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
You had a two rip lead and you allowed three
in the course of what twelve real time minutes?
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Your problem? So is it is it?
Speaker 4 (13:03):
You know, the the using the words like always, never, best, ever,
worst ever, things like that. You know that it's difficult
for me to do that because they're generally when you
say like something's the best ever, there will be something
better than it eventually you just can't see it. So
but I'm going to use the word never here. Is
(13:24):
is it a stretch to say the USA never will
be on par with the world at soccer? And like,
I think Nordo mentioned something like this yesterday, but I
didn't completely understand it. But I saw a story this
morning that that top flight soccer kids in Germany get
paid fifteen thousand dollars and we're talking middle schoolers right
(13:46):
around there get paid fifteen thousand dollars to play for
club teams, where here parents pay fifteen thousand dollars to
take part in said program. So what I mean, there's
something there and it's under it's more than Germany. So
what do you what do you guys make of all that?
And in any way, Parker, do you find it to
(14:08):
be sus.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Well, sus well, I think it's it is what it is, right, Like,
this is a world game. It's it's you know, played
at a higher level across the world, especially in Europe
and other countries. And our top athletes are are playing
other sports right They're playing basketball, they're playing American football.
Like I truly believe if if those of American football
and some of these other sports weren't as big, like
(14:30):
you would have probably better athletes playing those sports. And
that's that sport being soccer, and you would maybe have
more talent across the board. Now that isn't to say
that we don't have, you know, the level of talent
that we need to have to compete, Like I think
the USA has good enough players to go out there
and compete. Like they got out game planed, they got
out hustled, they got out worked in a in a
you know, sweet sixteen round of sixteen type of games.
(14:52):
So you're right away, you know, you're right there from
being a top ten quote unquote team in the world
if you put together a better performance. So yes, it
starts at the youth level though, pa like anything else does,
Like you have to have more kids playing the sport,
you know, to be able to succeed at it.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Yeah, the financial end of it, the infrastructure, think about it.
The infrastructure of clubs overseas has been something in the
making for decades upon decades upon decades. In the same
way that if Germany tomorrow decided, you know what we
want to we want to make a play for American
style football, we want to do that.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
What a disaster that would be.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
On the front end, how long it would take to
build a system of not just identifying talent, but coaching it,
training it, organizing it, and finding ways to create access
for all kids.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I think it's just.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
We are so far behind that Major League soccer clubs
themselves are just finally getting some traction in terms of
youth development, where the best kids, regardless of financial status,
have the accessibility to the elite training, so the pay
for play conversation comes up. I think that MLS is
trying to address some of those things. I think US
(16:07):
Soccer understands that, and I think there's a huge momentum
behind it. I just feel like we're basically half a
century behind.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
So never winning a World Cup it feels like it.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
But I do believe that that tide can and will
turn as the technical ability and the training at the
youth levels, as Parker said, that's where it starts as
that continues to grow.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Pete Fox's appearance nine to noon courtesy of Continental Diamond
in Saint Louis Park three ninety four and one hundred
adjacent to the West End. If you're looking to house,
if you're looking to even sell some jewelry, but specifically
if you're looking for engagement rings, stop by Continental Diamond
mentioned Pete Fox mention yours truly because we've been saving
(16:50):
consumers at Continental Diamond thousands of dollars for many, many years.
If you need jewelry, use the hook we give you
Continental Diamond and Continental Diamond dot Com.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
NBA.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
The Grizzlies pluck Quinton Post from Golden State.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
It's like who cares right, yeah kind of.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
I mean it says that Golden State doesn't want him anymore,
and Memphis went out and got him.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
So good for Quinton Posts getting ten million a year.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
The Lakers added Kevon Looney. Yeah, that ought to do
the trick, right, and Nolan random good.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
Yeah, did you have that one on your big go
card of Kevon Looney being a headliner and going to
the Los Angeles Lakers?
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I certainly didn't. But I don't know what's going on
there in La.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Man.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
We're gonna we're gonna figure out.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
They're trying to surround guys around Austin Reeves and Lukadancic.
But I don't think Kevon Looney's your your go to answer.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
From somebody who lived in the Southland Jason to Los
Angeles for a decade and a half. When the Lakers
and Dodgers are bad, it's loud.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
I mean, it's any Yankees right now.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Like when I moved there from Washington, DC in seventy nine,
the Dodgers ruled roost. I mean they were going to
the World Series with old school names like Don Sutton,
Steve Garvey, Ronse, Dusty Baker, so on and so on
the USC Trojans, which weren't that far removed from OJ
Simpson running there. USC was probably the second most popular team.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Then the Lakers drafted this six to eight point guard
from East Lansing, Michigan and Michigan State named Magic Johnson.
And you know when Magic got there and as a rookie,
they win the NBA Championship. He has to play center
for Kareem Abdul Jabbar against Doctor J and the Sixers
because Kareem had migraining problems. So they win the NBA
(18:42):
Championship his rookie year. And you got to you had
Magic and Bird with one shining moment Indiana State and
Michigan State the year before. So the Lakers took over
in seventy nine eighty as the most popular team in
southern California. They haven't been bad a ton like the
Dodgers fell off. Little it's Lakers one, Dodgers one a yeah,
(19:03):
and and then the rest are just left in the
wake of a keen turn of high end sports speed.
But this, uh that that that part of the country.
They you know, with Lebron leaving, they ain't used to
that team being bad. I mean they're used to it,
like like barely making the playoffs and then losing in
the first I mean they've seen that. But I mean
(19:25):
if Luca gets hurt, I mean this thing could fall
off in a bad, bad way.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Yeah, And I think if you're the Los Angeles Lakers,
like I know one guy that they're actively trying to pursue,
pursue pursue that is an unrestricted free agency is Jonathan Kaminga.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
But I don't think he's the answer either.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
Like, he's got a lot of game to him, he's young,
he's got a lot of athletic ability and potential, but
like you got to surround Luca and Austin Reeves with
a little more talent than than what you're trying to
pull out of the hat right.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Right now, nine to noon's going to hit this hard tomorrow, Uh,
depending on what what other NBA news pops, like the
LaMelo ball deal could go official, things like that. But
think this out and tell me what you think. Because
you're in elite NBA.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Mind.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
So if you're Lebron James and could play for any
team and every team is interested, because like not every
team is interested. He's not interested in every team, but Nevertheless,
if you put together a Pollyanna type situation where he
has his choice of any of them and they're all interested,
(20:33):
which one do you pick?
Speaker 6 (20:34):
And why?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Man?
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Lebron is in a tough spot right because I think initially,
if you're Lebron James, you're probably thinking to yourself, Okay,
I'm leaving La. Where am I going to go? I
want to stay in California. Let's go up to Golden State.
Let's team up with my buddies Draymond and Staph. Let's
get Anthony Davis over here. But that didn't really come
into fruition. So you know, now you're kind of circling
back and you're thinking, Okay, I was in Miami. They
(20:57):
just went out and got Giannis Ante to coompo. That's
really intriguing. Cleveland just signed Donovan Mitchell to a new
massive contract, so I would love to run alongside him. Oh,
here come the seventy six ers. They just went out
and got you know, Jalen Brown and they added some
other really good pieces alongside that.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Young and that, you like VJ. Edgecomb.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
If Joel Embiid is healthy, like, I think Philadelphia is
one of the best basketball situations for him as well.
And then here's Minnesota with Anthony Edwards and Lamello ball,
and I think he has a lot of respect for
Rigo Baert And what could happen to Rudy's career to
have a player like Lebron James be able to pass
him the ball. But to answer your question, Pa, I
think from a standpoint of where Lebron is in his
(21:36):
career right now, I think he's going to end up
in Miami. I said it earlier. I think seventy six
ers are close. I think they're right there. If I
was Lebron, I would be heavily considering Minnesota all right in.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Philadelphia, So you'd think Philly is pursuing Lebron for sure?
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Is their team? Yeah, I think they are.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Yeah, I think they are because Lebron would be a
perfect fit from a basketball standpoint of here's vj edgecomb
off ball scorer, here's Tyres Mack see you know on ball, primary.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Type of guy, Jalen Brown.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
If we can keep Joel Embiid healthy, adding Lebron to
the four spot, there would be kind of a similar
situation as Minnesota would be with Aunt Rudy and and LaMelo.
So I think those are very similar situations. But then
Miami's also intriguing because Giannis is down there, You're familiar
with the Miami. You get the summer, you get the heat,
you get all that good stuff. So I think right
now for me, it goes Miami, Philly, Cleveland, Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
What do you think would be keeping him from absolutely
playing here?
Speaker 5 (22:32):
I think the weather is obviously something, you know, being
in Minnesota, and also not being in like a major
market team in city Lebron obviously Cleveland was was one
of those, but he hasn't done that playing for the
Lakers and playing for the Heat. But besides that, I
don't really see anything glaringly obvious, like there's a there's
an empty spot at the four position. Lebron's transitioned to
(22:54):
more of a point guard now in his later career.
I know he played alongside Luka Doncic and he wasn't
the main ball handler, but like he's the guy that
sees the court so well, I don't know, PA. I
think it's a really basketball fit wise, and even Shams
has reported this basketball fit wise. If you're looking at
truly basketball fit, I think Minnesota is the best option for.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Lebron James, so you would go ball Edwards. McDaniels is
your three. Yeah, and he gets to guard all these
high end small forwards in the NBA. YEA Lebron as
your point four exactly if you need it. Yeah, And
you just traded a point four exactly, and then you
got you have Rudy obviously, but then baron Jay Zakarski potentially,
(23:35):
I think, I think Chris. I think coach Finches is
very intrigued by Zakarski. Yes, I think they want to
see the motor get going. People don't understand Roko Zakarski.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Like a year before he went to his NBL team,
mock drafts had him as a top ten to fifteen
player in the NBA draft. Then he tinkered with this
idea of going and play college basketball. His NBL coach
didn't like that idea, so he sat and he didn't
play him. Like if that didn't occur, I think Rokozakarski's
a first round, top fifteen type of lottery pick.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
There.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
There was a sixteen deal last night where the biggest
name on the move is a washed up Chris Middleton
heading to the Wizards.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
He is and then the sixteen deal Man six teams?
Are you kidding me? So?
Speaker 4 (24:20):
Then I saw a tweet this morning from some Wizards
fan that was like Wizard's new rotation, Trey Young, Bilal
Koolabali A J Debansta Debansa Debansa, Trey Johnson, the the
too deep at the small guard, Keishawn George and Chris
Middleton small forward, a d Justin Champenni power forward, and
(24:47):
Alex Sar and DeAndre eight and at center. Then my
man finished his tweet, and I assume he's being serious.
This is a title team.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Is Young Pi over anything out there? Aren't they?
Speaker 3 (25:01):
They?
Speaker 2 (25:02):
I will say Washington has potential.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
PA There's enough names on that list to, you know,
really turn a couple eyes, bub Carrington as well. I
think we're gonna see how great of a player Aged
Avansa is. But dude, you're in the You're in a
conference with New York, this new Sixers team a Yiannis
down in Miami. Like, let's not talk championships until you
start beating some of those teams in closing wedding month
(25:25):
and change away.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Let's go Winston. Your dog does he does he get
to come to the wedding.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
You know what's so funny is Taylor and I were
discussing this last night and she said, I definitely want
we were Winston at the wedding. She wants Winston for
pictures for sure, and she wants Winston to bring the
rings down the aisle. I'm not convinced on it yet.
Dogs see a squirrel and run in the other field. Ever,
so it could be the best. Ever, we'll see. We
(25:51):
we tested last night putting like a little collar on
him to see if he could carry the rigs, and
he did not like it. So there needs to be
a little training in order. But we'll see. Pa who
who talks to your your dog Winston like a baby?
More your Taylor? I can, Mommy, I cannot lie.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
We both do. Taylor definitely for sure.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
But I was up at you know, six am this
morning picking him up out of his crane, let him
to go to the bathroom, and then he runs for
the bathroom right up to bed to see mom. So yeah,
he goes where her mom goes. Is is she going
to be Taylor Heisei Fox or Taylor Fox? She's going
to be Taylor Fox? Yeah, but he just kidding. I
(26:34):
was prepared for the Heisei Fox side.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
But the jersey will still say Hizier. Will the jersey
say Fox, say Fox? Jersey will say Fox. He's a Fox.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
But that's one hundred percent her per decision. That's great
and I never kind of tried to sway her either way.
Like I said, you do what you want to do
with that, and that's her decision.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
I appreciate you having good love you, But tell Taylor
hello best Parker Fox at Parker Fox two four via
X Kicking off nine to noon on a Wednesday. Part
of the timber Tech What's on Deck set list includes
a lot today, including around the Corner, the annual Super
Bowl Slogan's day nine to noon and we'll set that up,
(27:12):
put some talkbacks into play, and much more, once again
courtesy of timber Tech and timber.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Tech dot Com. Nordo produces, and I'm Paul Allen.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
A very happy Wednesday to you wherever you may be,
and thank you for listening to FM one hundred point
three k Fan.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
This live on iHeartRadio and Kvan.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
The Fan replacing your home go first defensive lineman Jackson
Howard is going to be in studio nine to noon
thirty minutes from now, I as a football camp at
robins Dale Cooper. I believe it's July fifteenth, looking forward
to that, and it was interesting to research it and
put it together and recognize one of the one of
(27:55):
these significant strengths for PJ flex not only defense a
team coming into the twenty twenty six season seems to
be the defensive line. I mean with Jackson Howard and
his sacks last year, Anthony Smith. They have this cat
named Carter Mens who in his first year on a
pj's defensive line at six and a half sacks. And
(28:16):
they just got to transfer from Cal named TJ. Bush
Junior who had five and a half sacks for the
Cal Bears last year. Jackson Howard in studio thirty minutes
from now, welcome back to nine to noon. Yearly, we
will request Rube Nation jump into the talkback machine and
aid the radio show with Super Bowl slogans, and today
(28:39):
is going to be that day, at least one of
the days up to the Minnesota Vikings training camp, which
takes place within within a month. Then you got the
regular season opener against the against the Green Bay Packers.
And when we say Super Bowl slogans. If you're new
to the equation, think.
Speaker 6 (28:57):
This ending the rasmetaz in the shadow of Alcatraze.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
So the super Bowl was Northern California last year in
Santa Clara.
Speaker 6 (29:06):
From yes, Sir to big Sir, and that's where the
forty nine ers play. It was Super Bowl sixty Silence
the whiners in the home of the Niners.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
So think think that way when you're crafting them and
leaving talkbacks from wild card defeat to a San Francisco treat.
The time has arrived, ladies and gentlemen. It is super
Bowl sixty one. Slogans free, iHeartRadio app microphone up to
thirty seconds, bam the super Bowl. Super Bowl sixty one
(29:36):
is at SO five, which is in Los Angeles. You
have a Hollywood tie to it, you have a Showtime
tie to it. You got a Kyler to California tie
to it, if you are so inclined. It's the stadium
in which Wentz was bludgeoned. So the it's on Valentine's Day,
(29:57):
by the way, it is.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yes, Oh that's massive one. Thank you. Damn. We're getting
late with that thing. Valhalla Valentine. Oh there we go.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
Traditionally, speaking yours truly is not the greatest of coming
up with Super Bowl slogans from the Lake State, the
Golden State. I mean, if twenty two's knocking helmets off
people in the preseason, I can give you Harry the
hit Man, But when it comes to Super Bowl slogans,
I'm the greatest. For instance, when it comes to the
(30:28):
Valentine's Day super Bowl, it's number sixty one. It's so Fi,
which is in Los Angeles. I'm thinking flying high, it's
so fine.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
I always love that one. Might have stolen that one
from the last time.
Speaker 6 (30:41):
It was that so Fi.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Let me just get my lcycling. Recycling is okay, let
me get my l Let me get my l's out
of the way. I came up with a bunch of
dumb ones.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
Sixty first time the charm. I always love that one.
Time to win some in the land of news, I always.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Love that one. I don't always love that one.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
Actually, super Bowl sixty one, why not us or taking
our plan to La La Land, I always love that one.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
From the Lakes to the Land of Fakes. I always
love that one.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
Fake what I know personality, it can call you, it's
yeh from the from the from the State of Lakes
to the Land of Fake to the Land of Fakes.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Yes, that's what I got. None of them will qualify.
What do you have?
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Well, first of all, if you do the talkbacks or
if you text sixty four six eight six, can you
just hit me with a name and where you're from.
So if we end up getting Big Voice guy to
use yours good idea on the text, I'd love to.
I'd love to give you credit. Some simple ones right
out of the gates. Feeling good at Inglewood.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
That's solid. This is kind of a cheat from the
last time. From no Fi to so Fi? What's no Fi?
No fidelity? You know I'm low fi.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
You can do lo fi low fidelity to so Fi
as well. Okay, next to so Fi? Hold on to
so Fi. We hurry on the arm of Kyler Murray
come on, or I.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Mean it is not a guarantee. He's the starting quarterback
for the Vikings against Green Bay. And it's also per
the twenty some odd minute monologue yesterday, it's I mean,
if he starts the season, the hope is he lasts
the season. Yeah, And when I say last the season,
it doesn't mean there goes Kyler for another twenty seven
(32:45):
yard run. Oh he got hit at the end, and
he's going to be out six games, right, I mean
that could happen, but he's going to have to win
the job and hold the job. Wouldn't it be an
absolute un believable shame if we put together, I mean,
this is this is this is prime real estate, this
(33:07):
is this, these are treasured moments, these Super Bowl slogans,
we get all these Kyler super Bowl slogans. Ready, he's
not even the quarterback in the game.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
And he's healthy. Yeah, I mean I Iri Iri had one.
It was domb But what do we got because if I,
why not us?
Speaker 3 (33:25):
What about if it's Carson Wentz? You could say they
all jumped the fence to see Carson Wentz.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
I thought I had a Kyler one. I don't fly
and high it.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
So FI your your favorite that I've referraled time to
win some in the land of news.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
I always love that one. How about uh, well what
that one? Are you gonna want to say anything?
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Well?
Speaker 2 (33:48):
This one a little manches no little Manchester love open up?
Speaker 3 (33:52):
How about from destitute and awful to Rosco's for chicken
and a waffle.
Speaker 6 (33:59):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
Column one SB slogan's page top left. Yeah, the one
that's easiest to see.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Sat again from destitute and awful to Rosco's for chicken
and a waffle.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Loving it.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
So remember Super Bowl sixty one, Sofi La Hollywood Showtime.
Kyler to California if you're interested, the stadium in which
Wentz was was bludgeoned.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Oh, Kyler to Cali. I mean that's that's simple and effective.
Kyler to Cali. Yeah, simple and effective. Column three very
bottom blaze.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
All right, how about this from a lake named Leech
to flexing on muscle beach.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
Far left, column second second one down, so it's easily
visible crowd leven.
Speaker 6 (34:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
So listeners again, whether it's a text or at talkback,
you see how fresh these are.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Come on, you can do, but you listeners are way
better at this than we are. How many do we need?
We let's see, we usually get ten twelve.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
So we have we have twenty four spots on the
Super Bowl slogan button bar page. Yep, what do we
probably need twelve to fifteen? You said, yeah, I think
so let's see what what did we settle for?
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Last year? We played a couple of them destination Denim.
That's a good one right there.
Speaker 6 (35:22):
The Santa Clara strut digging it. The construction, the constructruction,
you go go ahead. The construction of the genes A plus.
From Loserville to Levi that's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
From Loserville to so far, From Loserville to so far,
that's not bad. The speaking of the Super Bowl, the
Rams are five and after one to win Super Bowl
sixty one, five and a half to one or six
to one, depending where you shop. That they skipped by
(36:03):
the Bills, the Ravens, and they were they were pushing
with Seattle. Then they traded for Miles Garrett and they
went favored. Heavily favored too, I mean five and a half,
six to one. Here's the deal. If I want to
if if I want to scoop, if I want to scoop, seven.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Hundred dollars, and here we are in July.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
So I give I give you, mister, mister teller, mister
or missus teller, I give you one hundred dollars. Rams
win the Super Bowl. Well then I got to wait
till after Valentine's Day to get my seven hundred. Yeah,
that ain't cool. But nevertheless, a six to one favorite
at this stage of the equation. That's quite that's that's
that's a pretty heavy favorite. The Bills are ten to one,
(36:45):
so plus one thousand. Baltimore is eleven to one. Seattle
is twelve to one to repeat. The Packers are eighteen
to one, the Lions nineteen to one. Taken a lot
of action. The Detroit Lions at one point within the
last month and a half were twenty six twenty five
(37:06):
to one, now nineteen to one from wild card defeat
to a Sand Francisco treat and the Lions are favored
to win the division. So the Packers are a tepid
choice over the Lions to win the super Bowl eighteen
to one to nineteen to one, but the Lions are
favored to win the division fourth place schedule though the Lions,
(37:31):
by the way, their season wins total is ten and
a half. The last time their season wins total was
around ten or ten and a half. The con bludgeoned
the under and he was right. The Bears are twenty
five to one. The Minnesota Vikings are fifty to one
to win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Wow, I mean.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
Love, I love seeing when you can see preseason summertime.
There's nothing going on, and you see that jump from
a team. I mean you just publics on the Lions,
public's on the Lions, and it kind of flies in
the face if you were thinking, like, man, I mean
off season, Okay, we got this Terry on Arnold, negativity,
the whole thing. And suddenly someone rolls in with a
(38:12):
Duffel bag and just says, oh, I'll hope iy that
at that value, that's sweet.
Speaker 4 (38:16):
You sign up for Drew Pettson to become your offensive coordinator.
You go from thirty to one to nineteen to one,
starting the McCarthy era with a win that Santa Clara.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Heay, starting to see some talkbacks roll in? How about this?
Speaker 3 (38:29):
You know the area, So this is probably dumb, but
still you can hear the horn from Ladera Heights to Hawthorne.
Ladera Heights isn't well, Lebray is the street.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
Yeah, there we go.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
That's a complete oul. If you have to explain it, Yeah,
it's no good.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
Yeah, but we greatly appreciate the effort from Let's see,
I think we've done this before, but I want to
do it again. Okay, Lions hosting New Orleans want to
know at Buffalo l Jets at home. That's two at
Carolina's Dicey at Arizona not Dicey.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
That's three for sure. Yeah, let's see, like.
Speaker 4 (39:12):
A five before the bye feels like a four and one.
L feels like a four and one before the bye.
Out of the bye they host Green Bay. L. Well,
I think they'll they'll split with Green Bay, so I'll
give them that one. Okay, so we five. I guess
(39:33):
what by the Vikings last year, they'll be hosting the
Vikings this year. What are you saying about that Super
Bowl slogan thing again?
Speaker 3 (39:43):
L from frostbite on your nose to sand between your toes.
Speaker 4 (39:49):
Loving it, Loving it? Saved that one for Big Voice Guy.
Anything else?
Speaker 3 (39:55):
Well, yeah, I got a lot of dumb ones making
our mark in Hollywood Park. Hollywood Park, the place where
SOFI is now located. It used to be a horse track, right, yes,
and they kept Hollywood Park Casino, so it's a j Well,
there's another another thing off which people can play. So
you have Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles on Manchester right by
(40:18):
so Far. It's next to the Forum, the Fabulous Forum
where Magic Johnson used to play. The Hollywood Park Casino
is right next to Sofi. It's right off Manchester Boulevard.
Can't remember the other street now Grenshaw, So.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
There's Century down there. That's a major route. Yep.
Speaker 4 (40:39):
So just keep all of that in mind. And the
six four six eight six is cool, but I would
prefer to hear. I would prefer to hear people deliver
it and sell it to us. Super Bowl sixty one
Slogan's nine to Noon Style Free iHeartRadio talkback. File those now,
we'll start playing them back next segment.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
Kfam, you're listening live to pull Out and nine to

I think there's a ton of agriculture in the Okay, Jackson,
you're good. Now in the great state of California. I
wonder if Jackson Howard ever put a big hit on
Emma Johnson. Oh yeah, I bet sweet. Would that be
that John's got a hit on Emma Johnson? I want

we know Emma quite well around here.
Speaker 4 (44:06):
And his brother Charles, known him for years, love him
just like we're going to become friends forever.
Speaker 2 (44:11):
If we asked Emmitt that question, oh no, couldn't catch me.
That didn't happen. It didn't happen.
Speaker 4 (44:18):
And if you think it did happen, it was some
spliced video on YouTube using AI Jackson Howard didn't catching me.
Speaker 2 (44:27):
And we could say that because we love Emmitt and
Nemon loves us.
Speaker 4 (44:30):
All right, jacksonmatos where you just hear talk about a
camp and we're always worth talking about.
Speaker 2 (44:35):
Let that d flow, all right, what do they got? Well?
Speaker 3 (44:39):
I I felt bad because I asked him to cover
his ears, and he was so respectful, But I think
he would have just sat back there for another five minutes,
covering his years until he gave him that.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
La Lannie.
Speaker 4 (44:51):
The full time package Handler, Yeah, just put you behind

He's a card carrying member of the Love Covenant.
Speaker 3 (45:07):
Come on, it's all about balance, Lonnie. There's no finer
place to stroke the post than something something on the
West coast, so we have to balance it. It's a
teeter totter and it's just done even right now. It's
a work in progress, and you got a long day
ahead of you. Yeah, and it's hot and it's hot

Speaker 2 (45:34):
Yeah, the full time package Handler.
Speaker 4 (45:37):
Lon Anderson was the one who gave me the time
to win some in the land of Gavin Newsom. And
I told Genorda was gonna hate it. I mean, at
least he's chuckling now, at least we got a chartle
out of it. Yeah, there was a bit of a
nord Quist scowl in the mix initially. Let's see what
some of the listeners have here.
Speaker 2 (45:57):
The big citrusish in big tickets.
Speaker 4 (46:03):
Well, I mean you're you're you're on the crickets trumpet
and yes, yeah, that trumpet applause means you most likely
have made the button bar and nine to nowon immortality
crickets comes with respect because we only have fifteen spots
max And yes, that's like in the middle, and we
(46:23):
got to think about it. We got to think it over. Hey,
we have we have a we have a late submission
to the equation of Ladies and gentlemen. While you were
gone last week earning the Alabama sweats, the fill in
producer caught me doing or actually requested I do this
between segments the con and he put it on the
(46:45):
button bar. So that's double b Brett Blakemore, tell me
what you think of this one. Crickets trumpet applause or
a yes, ready yep, a defense like chairs by the
Walk of Fame squares.
Speaker 2 (47:02):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 6 (47:03):
What you got?
Speaker 2 (47:03):
Collar defense? Chairs.
Speaker 4 (47:06):
We're gonna get Jackson Howard, Anthony Smith, TJ.
Speaker 2 (47:09):
Bush Junior. We're gonna recapp it cup in his mug.
Speaker 3 (47:12):
It's one of the great John Madden quotes ever, Right,
wasn't that forty one?
Speaker 2 (47:15):
Don't? Yeah? You know, then set up chairs. Yeah, the
Vikings defense is like chairs. Can't remember it exactly.
Speaker 4 (47:22):
All right, let's let's let's rattle off a few here
so we can get Jackson Howard in studio talk about
his camp that's coming up.
Speaker 2 (47:28):
It's really really cool. Yeah, from so so to so fine,
it's simple, It's all right, it is terrific.
Speaker 4 (47:40):
Well, here's the with respect. Here is the key part
of the equation. You remembering which ones we annoint and
where they are.
Speaker 2 (47:53):
No, I'm writing it down right now. Yes, you guys
got to use your name and where you're from. Though.
Speaker 3 (47:58):
I just happened thankfully with the with this when I
know it's Nick K so so to so five, But
use your name please. I want to give these people
credit for their artistic brilliance.
Speaker 4 (48:08):
I mean, with Blake Moore Man sorry about your USA
soccer team as we watch your Green and Golds scream.
Speaker 2 (48:20):
Alright, let's see a few more here.
Speaker 7 (48:24):
From inconsistent nine to Kyler in the Cali Sunshine.
Speaker 3 (48:31):
Moow Mare's here's the here's the problem I have with that,
because I I want to do this.
Speaker 2 (48:39):
The last time Kyler played a playoff.
Speaker 4 (48:42):
Game, moon Walk throwing ball to the linebacker pick six, terrible.
Speaker 3 (48:47):
Him punt passing out of the end zone was was
a problem and the Cardinals and I.
Speaker 4 (48:52):
Still and I probably never will know this because I
just don't ask these questions behind the scenes the con.
I still would really like to know what new general
manager Nolan Teasley thinks of Kyler Murray, given young Kyler
lost eight consecutive to the Super Chickens with a record
of like two and nine. But anyway, this segment isn't
(49:13):
about the Vikings quarterbacks battle.
