(00:01):
Head real common man's common man,common man, no shoal peple solid plan
said the learn begins al sacarit abroach or fail to in. It's time
for common man, Come man,common then charge the housewors like going?

(00:26):
Can what you shoot? Where weplay? It's nonsense. I dec today
to plan. It's time for commonman. Boy? Why should anybody aspire
to be a common man? Anaverage man? Do you realize what it
means to be average? That meansyou're the best of the lousiest and the

(00:47):
lousiest of the best. Now,if we demand more and more for producing
less and less while they have notnations and courage and inspire and indeed require
hard work and maximum effort. Ifwe fire the common man while they encourage
and reward the uncommon ones, theend result of such a lopsided race as
that is too obvious to require elaboration. I mean it's it is a cold

(01:22):
blooded connection. Mark. They can'tpitch, they can't hitch. What is
what I need to come? Rut? If you don't know nothing, there's

(01:42):
sometimes when you practice, you'll setup chairs. When you rout th chairs
to share zone. The bing defensewill shut this chairs all the defensive backs
covering are are just approcious today forthe Minnesota vac lud and about nothing better

(02:07):
lacking laugh, you're breaking up,Bob, break game. What are you
doing? What are you doing?We can't start winning until we stopped losing.

(02:32):
Stop, I'm gonna say something.Co that's interesting. Time for two
more questions. Guys, not sidboats. We got screws, shit,
lad disadvantage. I've seen enough outof cousin's Paul put him on ice.

(02:55):
But you stop magic. It isso high super Bowl home book. You
look that look that like the He'sthe clown from Brown, He's the four

(03:22):
and in the North, this isthe common man, Dan coles me.
And if I'm supposed to be somebodyelse, why do I look like me?
I'm I'm common. He's teneb heretill three common to tenn Tobe are
here in general. Three mark blowsin the legendary one the Frogfather himself,
mister Vandwagon, who gave up onthe Wolves. He said, if if

(03:45):
if the Nuggets go up three gamesto two, the Nuggets will win the
series. The Nuggets went up threegames to two, he doubted them ten
and B and I never did tendto be for sure, never did.
He was offered plenty of booty.He was offered plenty of booty for his
betting ticket. A win for theWolves if they won the whole thing,
and they if they win the wholethe whole shooting match, it'll be worth

(04:08):
twenty three hundred dollars. Rosen willwelcome him at two o'clock and Tennyby I
think I'm gonna I think today ifpeople feel like Common's a little off,
he's a little slow, he's not. He's not providing us with that usual
fast pace, hectic, controversial threehour programs because I'm exhausted for me.

(04:34):
Yesterday, yesterday was you know,coming off Fridays double montage. Wolves win
two games Friday Sunday all looked lost, and they rebound down twenty in the
early in the first half of gameseven, and they they bounce, they

(04:55):
bounce back, they rebound, pardonthe pun and defeat the Timberwolves, and
then or feat the Nuggets. Andthen yesterday's montage and all the singing that
we did with people from all overthe radio station jammed in the studio way,
and then the prep I have toput in. I don't want to
this. I don't want to blowmy cover because it would be it would

(05:16):
I be out of character. ButI don't put a lot of effort into
the show. And I think mostpeople realize that. I mean shows,
right, And I actually did yesterdayto do these Wolves games. I feel
like, okay, you watch thegame, and then I got to go
on to Fish Rap East and Westand a little Athletic and a little CBS
Sports and a little Associated Press andjotted down a few notes. It took

(05:40):
me. Tell me, I'm notmaking the suck. I spent twenty minutes
preparing for the Wolves nugget segments.Twenty minutes. That's how long it took
me to write down you know rightnow, Rudy Gobert, you know,
you know this many points and thismany rebounds, and McDaniel had this,
and Finch said this, and BigMiao said that, and by the d

(06:02):
I was exhausted just putting. Idon't know how people, and there are
many of them in the industry,people that host talk shows, they'll put
like two hours of preparation into everyhour they're on the air. So they're
on like three hours and they're puttingsix hours that's a nine hour day.
I can't even fathom that. Whenwould I have time to golf? How

(06:25):
would I watch back to back episodesof The Rockford Files if I was preparing
for the Grown. So if youthink we've wing Wang wong it before,
you look almost dejected now because you'regoing now, I got to try to
carry the show because Common's got nothing. It's just slow. Like my lasses
day, I'm just so, I'mtaking a mental health day. I'm exhausted

(06:46):
from yesterday and from the entire weekendthis NBA this, and I asked for
it. Look, we could havehad a four game sweep, could have
had my feet kicked up on theautumn end, dozing in and out,
not worrying about, well, whatare we gonna do now? We just
lost to the Oh my gosh Nuggetshave won two in a row. At

(07:09):
our place. We're tied it tooh no, the old the Minnesota paranoia
and pessimism is starting to envelop theentire Twin Cities and me at thirteen fourteen,
Incent and then we lose the thirdone, and I'm hand ringing and
I'm weeping and gnashing my teeth andpacing an edge of my seat, and

(07:30):
then we win game six, butthere's still no guarantee you we're gonna win
games seven. Matter of fact,it would be so Minnesota, like right,
yeah, Minnesota. It's so hot, Minnesota is it's been Loserville for
so long, and it's like,well, now we're gonna And then everything
that went the hot the highs ofthe beginning of the game to the lowest
lows when Denver went on their runto thinking it was over, sad eyes

(07:55):
on Monday to come back. I'mjust spent emotionally, and we still have
another month ago. I could bean entire month ago. Now I want
a four game sweep and both seriously, we could just get this thing over
with. I don't know if II don't know if my heart can take
it. I put my heart init, and I don't have much more
to give. I give and giveand give, and I'm about to give

(08:16):
out. As fans were not conditionedto go this one. Who our bodies
are not built up for this,And look, you know I was.
I was puffing out my chest andpride and you know, spending a lot
of time yesterday doing what I loveto do on my own horn about when
I tried to tell everybody, Itold you we need adversity. We these

(08:41):
these these sweeps are these sweeps areare are boring, There's no excitement.
Sure, it's fun to win,but I like back against the wall,

(09:01):
gut check time. What are wemade of? Not only the team and
the players, but the fans.What are we made out of? And
we dug down deep Tenabe help withhis montages. As a matter of fact,
Tennabe, I've been giving him somethought. Nas Reed won sixth Man

(09:24):
of the Year of War for hisperformance this year at the Wolves. Well
deserved, very good. Part ofthis run in the playoffs against Phoenix and
against Denver have been punctuated with yourmontages and they've worked extremely well. I'm

(09:48):
thinking you're sixteenth Man of the Yearbecause the rosters. I think you should
be an honorary member of the MinnesotaTerminals. I don't think you can diminish.
I don't think you can and underestimatethe value of those montages, not
just for the listeners in the fanbase. I mean, you saw the

(10:09):
unprecedented response we got people that youhelp get them through these things and pump
them up and get them ready toplay and even when we were losing games,
that the dido the white flag,not giving up, you know,
not not jumping off the ship,so to speak, loading it up.
I think you, I think theWolves should give you a jersey that has

(10:33):
your name on the backs of tennebyeor maybe ten eight plus, because that's
what you've been, that's what you'vebeen deemed here with these montages. And
maybe the Wolves could frame it anddeliver it to you and we could put
it up here in the in thestudio, or you could take it home
and your boys would see it.And as I was ready to go step
further, let's hang the sixteen bannerup at Target Center, do a little

(10:56):
ceremony. You know the Seahawks fansare the twelve. Yeah, I'm sixteen.
Let's raise that sixteen up to therafters. There's a lot of space
up there. So that sound likewe have to take something down. Ah,
there's not gonna be a lot ofspace there for the next ten years.
When in hang Big Me Out andRudy Gobert, when it's a bunch
of titles, that wouldn't mean they'dhave to find a space for you in

(11:16):
the in the stadium and court side'salready taken by Rosen and all the media
seats are gone. Maybe they wouldjust have you come in raise it and
say you have to leave now,there's no seat for you. Or you
could watch it an auxiliary press roomor something. Right, you know,
you can watch it back in thecafeteria area. You know they got TV,
they got monitors that when you can'tsit down. We've got too many

(11:37):
seats taken sold out every sea.Every seat's got to be sold out right
now, right, Oh, Iwould think so for game one has to
be I don't think there's a seatGame one, Game two, Games five,
you're already selling for game seven.Yet when do we sell for those?
A couple of text messages. Onesays your worst shows are the ones

(12:01):
you do the most prepped for,and that's probably right, which I must
not have many bad shows because Irarely prep. This one says, now
I've heard it all. Common needsa load management day during the playoffs.
Come on Common, Dig deep.And then finally it sounds like Common needs
a trip to Camp Richard, andI'm taking one. I'm taking a long
trip. I'm not here Friday.I'm taking Friday off. Wait, third,

(12:22):
we played wending. I'll be hereThursday for the game after if for
some reason they change it and sayinstead of Sunday they're playing Thursday. I'm
on call for Friday, but Idon't think that's gonna happen. Tennab will
be here Friday, so I needa break already, So I'm gonna take
one. And as we do,tend tobe as a keyword to try to

This one says common you're sounding likeJohn Feinstein after he writes a book with
all your prep, you need togo to bed and get some rest.
And he's right, because remember whenFeinstein said, after he completes the book,
he can't get out of bed forthree days because it's such a it's

(14:48):
very grilling, taxing process. Ifinished by book and I went out and
played golf right away. And you'rebuilt different. Well, that's that is
true. You're You're right. Iappreciate that. And then there's this one
you. I think you're tired.Imagine how I feel after being up all
night worrying about whether or not yougot your lawnmowar fixed, and you tend
to be It's almost a toss up. I will say full disclosure and in

(15:11):
total honesty. There were more textmessage and emails praising you for your montage
yesterday, but a close second waspeople his suggestions about what to do about
my lawnmower I was getting. Ieven had one of baby brother Peter's former
basketball teammates does a lawn care service. He heard through the grapevine that I

(15:35):
was looking for my lawn to bemode. He contacted baby brother Peter.
Baby brother Peter gave him my phonenumber and he said, hey, mister
Cole, I mean having you know, he's a college kid. He plays
basketball in college and he says,when I'm during the summer, I do
a lawn care service. Heard youmight need some help. Why I don't
really need help in lawn care service. I just needed my lawnmode a couple

(15:58):
of times. I'm going to reachout to them. Maybe I can cut
a deal with the tenny. Thething is is I might, And you're
gonna think, now again, You'regonna think, this is what part of
it? Because I am exhausted fromall the preparation I put into the show
yesterday and and how much I've putevery fiber, every ounce of energy,
my heart, my soul into this. Minnesota Timberwolves run through the first two

(16:19):
rounds of the playoffs is where halfway there were half way there. But
I don't mind mowing the lawn.But instead of repairing the lawn more than
buying a new lung, if Icould just find somebody to mow my lawn
every week or so and then lockyour car, take your keys, don't

(16:40):
let a good boy go bad,right. In other words, give an
enterprising, energetic go getter of akid an opportunity wants to make money.
Okay, I you know I canafford my own lawn war, but I
could hire a kid and even youknow what, right, Timmaby, I
mean it's like I did have oneof those in neighborhood. Right, they
started a ghost me. Oh didthey? They started ghosting? He?

(17:06):
So, I think I'm going toa shoe, a gazoom type repairing the
lawn more and I'm going to NowI don't know what my neighbor's charging me
yet. He didn't do it yesterdaybecause he was working last night, and

(17:26):
he was going to do it today, but with all the rain, we
put it off maybe till tomorrow.I gotta trust me, So I got
to see what he's what he's goingto charge. But I might just use
him the rest of the summer.Or I could reach out to the young
man who's now a college kid playingcollege basketball Division two hoops, used to
be peace teammate. He's a coupleof years older than Pete and he comes

(17:48):
back in the summer. Maybe I'llhire him to do it. I mean
TI to be if you can help, ask not what the common man could
do for you? What can youdo for the common and you can go
and I'll actual I'll pay you forit. I mean, i'd ask,
you know, don't you know thereare a lot of there are a lot
of listeners that would like to mowthe common man's lawn without recompense? Is

(18:11):
that a word? Hope I didn'tsay something. Hope, I didn't say
something I'm not supposed to say.I mean, I'm gonna look this word
up and see if there is sucha word. I might have just made
up a word wreck recompense. Recompenseis a word tend to be Huh,

(18:36):
make amends to someone for loss orharm suffered. Compensate offenders should recompense their
victims. I don't know if theythere's any harm or or suffering from mowing
my law, And but what withtend to be? There might be because
as we know, tenn to bealmost he ran over his foot one time.
So but there you go. Iso I I still am up in

(19:00):
the air about what to do.We do have calls coming in regatting my
lawn. More situation, Dan,you're on the fan. What do you
have for us today? I'm fortyfour years old. I grew up listening
to my Linger and Morgan Mondane.I listened to John Lastman doing the Chucker

(19:22):
with Tom Bernard YEP. I listenedto Lake Wobegone with Garrison Keeler. Your
Your Lawn Mowing Drama segment yesterday isthe only radio and actually pay money to
listen to. Yeah, I alwayslove that. I think you might.
When I added to the wheel oftopic, I know how to keep grass

(19:49):
cut things out of your mouth?Yeah, how do you do that?
Take two weeks off and quit?Thanks Dan, I got me boy.
I appreciate one thing I I mightwarn you about. You know, you
gotta be insured. These kids haveto Oh, someone's got insure these kids
cutting your grass? You gotta worryabout injury. Well, I think I've

(20:11):
got homeowner's insurance. That's pretty muchan umbrella that covers anything, any kind
of catastrophe. Except I don't havehurricane insurance. That's the only thing I
don't have it. I don't thinkI need it here. But again,
you know, maybe if somebody canconvince me that I do, I will.
Thanks Dan, I appreciate that.Think about that tend to be.
He compared me to some of thelegendary radio people in this in this town,

(20:32):
and he said mine is the onlyshow that he would actually pay money,
huh to listen to. That's I'mtouched by that. I really am

It's just a robot. Does itlook like the robot and the jetsons they're
made? Is it like that?Is it? Somebody? Is it a
robot standing behind a lawnmower. It'smuch lower and flatter, so it's not
a robot pushing a lawnmoer. It'sit's like a robotic thing that has like

(22:51):
multiple different attachments. So there's likea lawnmower attachment, there's a snowblower attachment.
So it's not a robot that lookslike a human being pushing a lawnmore

I don't like it, but Ifigured late out of Prestwick today. I
figured out late in the round.It's the same issues that hamper you would
think. I'm as you would thinkI would have learned by now at tenneb.
All I have to do is don'tbe in a hurry to hit the

(23:59):
ball. Just take it back,set it at the top and then just
not drop it slow motion but brunit. Just drop it in and release
and I hit. Drop it likeit's hot, Yeah, drop it like

only those that listen on a regularbasis, but those that that even don't

(27:30):
let me explain. This came intocommon Monday morning at eleven fourteen yesterday morning,
eleven fourteen subject montage I'm on theedge of my seat, waiting with
baited breath. Can it just beNeon already? My classroom is full of

(27:51):
eighth graders who are also on theedge of their seat. They are frantically
working to finish their math homework sothat one of their attention can be directed
to the upcoming Wolves montage. Thebridge producer has to deliver. That's Katy,
I always love that. Also,can I get the Moniker Middle school
teacher guy? Well, you certainlycan. Then he texts back tennabe or

(28:14):
emails back at twelve ten goosebumps.The eighth graders could not control themselves all
class in anticipation, but it wasone worth it phenomenal. He treated his
eighth grade class to the montage.You're going to be your your leading and
teaching our youth. You're influencing theyouth of Minnesota. Minnesota, how about

(28:36):
that? Do you think when Iwas a kid, the moments you would
stop class to watch or listen tosomething outside of your classroom, like you
know, a shuttle being launched,or like for me, I remember the
verdict of the oj trial, orstop class at high school to and now
like my montage is on that levelfor these kids, well, I think
it's even greater than that because ofthe because it's a positive with the emotion

(29:00):
and the the the it creates,you know, a oneness, yeah,
and a oneness for all of us. We're all one big heaving. In
other words, I guess what I'mtrying to say is we can build this
thing together, standing strong forever.Nothing is going to stop us. Now.
I always love that one. Andthere's this one next tent. Take

(29:21):
video of your eighth graders listening tobut that would be really good, and
singing along would be even better.I have a two thousand and five Ford
Taurus with two hundred and fifty thousandmiles and tires with only thirty five thousand
miles. Would tend to be beinterested in a swap for his betting slip.
Now, Timby, I know it'sa little older. This sounds like
the kind of car where you fillit with gas and doubles in value.

(29:42):
The kind of car where if youpull up at someone's house, everybody runs
out and says, are you allright? But Leo will be driving eventually.
I mean, I say it soundslike an upgrade for what I'm driving
that could be? Is that worththe betting slip? Now? Well,
again, I know you're not gonnarush into Here's what's crazy. We talked
about this when it was three gamesto two Denver. You were considering offers

(30:04):
but never got one you really wanted, or you still got faith in the
Wolves or accommodation. But now I'msure you glad you hung onto it,
because now if the Wolves win itall and you keep the bed, you're
going to be twenty two hundred dollarsricher. But you might get it.
They might make you an offer thatyou can't convius. What if somebody offered
you a roomba? No, whatwas that called roll of Arbo yar bowl?

(30:26):
You know what the price on yarbowwas? Did you see it?
Oh? Yeah? Is it?I would need a couple of those betting
tickets, Was that right? Withthat five thousand dollars? Yeah? Would
you trade your betting tickets straight upfor a Yarborough? I mean you almost
have to write just because of thevalue of it. Having that betting slip
and sticking with the Wolves, youthick and thin, But if you could
almost double I would need a Iwould need a demo to make sure it

(30:47):
works properly. But it looks cool. How about this. I'd like not
having to remove snow in my drivewayanymore. I heard your lawn is getting
too long. If you let itget really told my dad as a tractor
with a baylor, and you couldsell hay bails. Now, see that's
an enterprising young man. That's adamn fine idea. I could let my

(31:08):
grask get so long and sell bales. A hey, brilliant. Oh,
I don't know what the neighbors wouldthink. And then you know, I'm
in one of those you know youhave what is it called you? I'm
in an association? Do you payassociation due? Really? What are your

(31:29):
dues going towards somebody's pocket? Idon't know. Well, you got you
don't want somebody like leaving? Youknow a car, you know the two
thousand and five Torus up on blocksnext to the garage. You gotta have
somebody going. Look, you can'tdo that here, man, it wouldn't
bury t I'm just trying to wonderwhat your association because you don't live in

(31:51):
a townhouse. No. A lotof times dues are meant for they're running
around, no removal, lawn care. They're running around, figure out what
yours is being I don't know thatit's put game. You have like a
community playground in pool. Not onlythey're getting it put in somebody's back pocket.
To me, I have no idea. I just make it. I
just pay the money, give,give the association the rays it richly deserves.

(32:15):
Hey, Common, there's a placeI know where great guys literally come
out to your house and repair mowersnowblowers. I've used them and some of
my friends I've always created. Surethat's the key, because if I want
to send my mower in for repairs, I don't really have a vehicle that's
up to the mean. I've gotan Equinox that's got a back end with

(32:37):
a hatch, but I'm leasing that. I got to give that back.
What if I put that in thereand all of a sudden it leaks all
not oil at ail, all overthe back carpet. I'm on the hook
for that. So I don't knowif I can do that. I have
that problem because I have a lotof trees in my yard and then the
branches fall, and I don't reallyhave a vehicle unless I cut all the
branches extremely small that can can loadoff. That's it. So you know,

(33:00):
you never know. I don't alwaysseem to know that. You don't
know what you got till it's gone. And then there was this text message
that Cadena says PST nomination. Barrerosaid Game seven against the Nuggets was more
thrilling than the Minneapolis Miracle. Iled to get your thoughts on this topic.
Common We already have the biggest thrillin Minnesota sports. We've already acknowledged

(33:30):
that. I mean, Game sevenwas great. Minneapolis miracle is great.
Nothing tops Game seven nineteen ninety oneWorld Series. Five minutes after that game,
that's number one. I'm on thefield slapping Big black Jack Morris on
the back. That's number one witha bullet. There's nothing that can compare.
Game six might be number two.Game six might be number two.
Buckets home run, you know,climb on my back. We'll see you

(33:51):
tomorrow night. The it's a hardcomparison because in the basketball game, it
built right. You know, youwere down fifteen at the half. Belushi
does his speech in the locker room, team comes out, ends up trailing
by as many as twenty and thenthey slowly but surely over the last no

(34:14):
game time. It was probably whatwas it, twelve minutes a quarter,
so twelve and then another let's saynine, So that was for twenty one
game minutes. But that was like, you know, an hour and ten
minutes or hour fifteen of real time, right, and it just kept building
and building, and then all ofa sudden there was the point where it
was over. You know, withthree minutes to go, you kind of

(34:37):
knew it was over. The MinneapolisMiracle. That was one where people were
just leaving it. I mean peopleactually left the stadium to beat the traffic.
There was a snowstorm that night,and people were like, well,
let's get out of here. Thisgame's over. And it happened on just
one play on it how many secondswere left in the game? Was it
that was the last play of thegame? I was a ten seconds eight
whatever it was, it was thefinal play of the game. This was

(34:59):
it, no matter what happened incompleteinterception a sack. I guess secondly,
it wasn't the final play because theyhad to do the extra point. I
had to wait like eight minutes forthe team to come back out, so
and and I think some of ittoo. I think for some people depends
upon what's your favorite sport. Rightsure, big ticket is Minnesota Timberwell super

(35:23):
fan. We know that it's it'sit was reported on WCCO television. He's
a basketball guy. I'm more ofa football guy. You know. For
an instant moment, I think it'sMinie episomhere, imp right, That's why
I think. But I'm saying ifyou're just talking about for instantaneous excitement where

(35:45):
all is lost and then boom,in one play it's over, I mean
that changed in literally ten twelve seconds, right, This, like I said,
was twenty one game minutes and thenit built, and it built and
it built. But that was thatwas. You have to put the Wolves
Game seven against the Nuggets in thetop five. I don't know what the

(36:07):
other one I was gonna ask.You know, obviously I'm a hockey guy,
but there's been some hockey moments,specifically Andrew Burnette Game seven knocking out
Patrick Wall in the Colorado Avalanche atthe same arena. By the way,
the Wild have won two game sevensat ball Arena as well. You know,
as you mentioned the Wolves, youhad like a twenty minute build up,

(36:29):
but you still didn't win it onlike some sort of game winner,
right right, it was, youknow, forty seconds left the game.
The ball game's over. Whereas Brunette, and from an underdog standpoint, they
were not supposed to come, theycome back, and they came back from
a three to one series deficit tobeat a team that's gonna have a bunch
of future Hall of famers, thatwas considered a Cup contender. The wild

(36:50):
where thirty year in their existence,and you know, maybe just because we're
now twenty one years removed, youkind of lose a little bit of the
lust around it. Not everyone's ahockey fan either, but I argue Brunette
Game seven against Colorado is right therewith you could well the other night,
absolutely could. I don't think there'sany doubt about that. So wherever you

(37:10):
rank them, they were all obviouslyenjoyable, they were thrilling. We don't
get a lot of those moments here, as we've talked about. We've had
some nice runs by you know,the the links for four titles. I
think altogether Minnesota men's hockey teams won. A couple of women have won some
too, right, National Championship somenatties, but when you're talking about those

(37:31):
men's major four, you know,hockey, basketball, baseball, and football.
We've only had two seasons where whenit and I've told this story before,
I watched every game in the eightyseven World Series, our first World
Championship in Huntsville, Texas. Iwas working at a radio station down there.

(37:55):
That was a station where Huntsville hasthe prison there or they do the
executions, and they got people doinglife and it's it's a tough prison.
And I was working on the kh U M f M, which was
the sister station of k s AM K SAM, which was in the
same building, and KAY SAM waswhere Dan rather got his start. That

(38:20):
was the first that's their claim tofame. That's where his first job in
media was at KSA M. AndI was doing the morning show from five
until ten. So I just thoughtit was kind of clever to say,
in the prison town, Dan Coledoing five to ten. And I'm sure
there were guy in the prison goyou have no idea what doing five to
ten is, right, But Iwas there watching that that that series.

(38:43):
You're probably an't paid the same asthe prisoners do. For their Well,
yeah, that's for sure, breadand water. And I've told this story
before. What was to me whichwas surreal was I watch it was Guy
Edie to Herbeck for the final outright, they go through the whole postgame thing,

(39:04):
and then I remember whatever network itwas on, I don't know it
was Fox even in existence then,I don't know, I don't think so,
so whatever it was NBCCBS. Whenthey closed the broadcast out it was
a shot of the Fauchet Tower withblinking lights saying Twins win, Twins win,
Twins win, and then they fadedto black with the credits. And
I'm watching it and I'll never forget. And I'd had a couple thirteen fourteen

(39:28):
as well, so I sky butI was looking at TV going this is
unreal. I've never experienced this asa Minnesota sports fan, where there's not
another series, not another game,not another quarter, not another period,
not another inning, not another out, not another strike. It's over.

(39:51):
It's literally the season has come toan end. In my hometown. Nine
the Minnesota Twins have won the WorldChampionship. It was it was breathtaking because
I never experienced my my Tigers clubhad won in nineteen sixty eight when I
was ten years old, and that'sstill for me as a spectator, that's

(40:15):
the greatest joy I ever had,because I've always thought sports are really most
for kids. By the way,did you see the d Schambeau video?
Yes? Love it? How goodwas that? He's going between I thing
nine and ten nine green to tentea. He's gonna throw a ball to
a little kid. This kid couldn'thave been much more of what's seven or
eight years old? Some loser roof, some low level loser adult jumps in

(40:38):
front, grabs the ball and startstaking off and then d Shamba goes hey,
hey, hey, hey hey,and the guy turned around, and
I think at that point he realizedI can't do this. He actually,
I guess he had a conscious,he had a heart, and he turned
back and they gave it to thekid he was gonna steal. The fact

(41:00):
that he was that far away,he knew what he was doing, knew
the way you would never run back. Well, that's what I'm saying about.
He showed he had a conscience thoughhe turned it. At least he
turned it back because he could havejust kept running. But what a wasn't
it called out? Then then theconscience emerges, what a low level loser?
Yes, and got on Bryson forcalling him out. I mean,
I've only I've only retrieved one ballat a baseball game. And this was

(41:29):
a matter of fact, it wasthe last Twins Gay game. I was
at about five six years ago.I was down. I had the maur
tickets, so I was behind thecamera well over on the third base side,
great spot to be right. Theball came in and I got it.
I just turned around, handed toa kid and his eyes but they
went like frying pans. I don'tneed that always. What am I goodings?

(41:50):
You know, that's just the that'sjust the kind of guy I am.
So yeah, I you know youcan. You can debate and argue
what you think is more thrilling andmore exciting. For me, it's Morris
number one with a bullet and thatbuilt over three hours. Man, that

(42:12):
was more than three hours. Probablyright the pitch after pitch, knowing that
at any moment, one hit,one swing of the bat could have ended
it. Somebody boots one out inthe field, somebody steals a base.
You know, there was the greatfake play that got what's his face off
at second? I mean, therewere so many was a gant didn't somebody
get? Was that game six orGame seven where somebody got tricked in?
God? Double do Lonnie Smith?Lonnie Smith? All you're thinking the double

(42:37):
ron gann is the one who gotpulled off Lonnie Smith. That was early
in the series. Was early,That was early in this series. That
was a game two. But butthe the Lonnie Smith, I think it
was a Terry Pendleton double off lessonerwall right and Gagnia no block did the
fake double play turn at second right? So he held up after he got
the second when he ended up gettingthe third, but he should have scored

(42:59):
on that what, Yes, ina game that was zero zero to nine
innings, that was a pretty thatis monumental play. That was later in
the game too. That was aseventh or eighth inning. So I put
Game seven number one, nineteen ninetyone, and it's gonna be hard to
match that. Yeah. Well,and then for me again, it's Game

(43:21):
seven with the Wolves and then theMinneapolis Miracle. To me, it's hard
to compare because the Minnapis miracle wasinstantaneous, Like we just said, it
was just like all of a sudden, it was like all is loss.
You're standing there and there, youknow, you're thinking they're not going to
complete this pass. It's over,and then we're gonna go home, and
all of a sudden, out ofnowhere, Diggs has got it. He's
in the end zone, touchdown.The place just expled. I've never been

(43:42):
in a place that loud. Imean, that place was just I mean,
if they had the old you knowthat they'll do that. Yeah,
that negatrom no dah, the decibelthing and they'll have it, which I
think is always fake. Of course, yes, but that would have destroyed
the decibel meter. It would havebroke it. And then with the Wolves,
it was great and it's simply exhilarating. But it's hard that, like

(44:06):
I say, built for a longtime, comp I don't think you can
compare. No, I think youwould have to compare the NBA. If
Ant had a game winning shot atthe buzzer in that game, that's it.
That's where we can talk. That'swhat, that's what, That's exactly
it. But so when you're talkingabout the most exciting in Minnesota history,
I don't think there's any question.Game seven with Morris, Trump's everything everything.

(44:31):
I mean, as much as thebasketball was exciting, that's a distance.
If you want to rank a second, it's a distant second, because
the Morris thing was terrific. Nowsomeone says, common, where does the
biggest comeback in NFL history stand?When the Vikings beat the Colts, that
was pretty exciting, But again,it was a regular season game against a

(44:57):
bad team, So to me,that doesn't rise to the level of this
won't do it for anybody but boxingfans. When LaDue came back to beat
nor well he didn't beat him ascalled to draw, so it was anti
climactic, but it looked like allwas lost for Scott and he dropped Norton
in the eighth and had him readyto go in the tenth. And matter
of fact, it was so loudthe bell rang to stop the tenth round,

(45:22):
but the fans thought they were stoppingthe fight, which they weren't.
But that was pretty exciting too.But you know, that's again the sweet
science, and not as many peopleare as interested in that. So but
yeah, I but you know what, Tennebee, historic exciting moments could still

(45:42):
be in the offing because it's gameone. Western Conference Finals, Wolves hosting
the MAVs. Only the beginning,and that's coming up tomorrow night on this
radio station five three four Top ohthe Hour teneby what you Got. Could
the Purple still be active in freeagency? Three
