(00:07):
Find our Mall of America's three teamall summer long and our events. Come
find us and ask about our Mallof American mystery cards where everyone is a
winner. See where we'll be Mexicafiandot Com, quberd calendar. What other

(00:41):
way it is trying to be?It just seemed like a soup day today.
If I'm good to have a littleMexican corn showed eat myself right through
to the grill or whatever, darkto sure I didn't grill it. I
just microwave it. Hey, it'sa couple of thirteen fourteen passes. Time
now for by three four brought tous by our friends at Casey's Time.

(01:04):
Now four five questions, Well,actually three, but five sounds like more
than four. Brought to you byCasey's General Store. Question number one,
Well when twins we're goin and it'snow time to delve deep into Twins territory.

(01:36):
Oh boy, the Twins losing shriekNow it's seven after they were blown
out by the Washington Nationals twelve threelast night, Paulo Lopez allowed seven runs
in five innings, matching the mostruns he's allowed in a start during his
Twins tenure offense failed to show uponce again, though Carlos Korea did hit
a two run homer common What sticksout to you from last night's Twins loss,

(02:00):
boy, it sticks in my cross? What it does? It's the
Lopez thing is a bit concerning.He was our staff a slash year along
with Sonny Gray. We had basicallyone A, one B. Sonny Grave
finished third and Cy Young Award voting. We didn't need him. We thought
we were fine without him. Wewanted to cut payroll. We used the

(02:22):
again. They went with the theTV contracting as an excuse. That's boulder
dash that they have so much money. It's they're they're, they're, they're
they printed over there at one TwinsWay. What are Lopez's numbers right now?
Tennabe, I mean they're not anyLast year he was, he was

(02:43):
simply brilliant. This year he's beenis awful too strong of a word.
Because I had the Remember I saidto you earlier, I said, when
I see Lopez on the hill,I always expect to get out. And
you said comment, he's not pitchedwell at all this year, And you
used to started rattling off some ofthe numbers, and I guess I haven't
been paying as close attention to thetwins as I once did because he was

(03:07):
just not the same picture he waslast year, and it doesn't look like
he is now. I wouldn't sayawful, okay, but below what you'd
expect from Pambo Lopez right now fourand four with a four point seven to
e RA what's that era? Fourpoint seven two? Yeah, that's that's
not good. And you know,when you don't have your best pitcher pitching

(03:29):
to what he's capable of, thatthat doesn't help in their offense is simply
awful. Did they lose what wasit fun like twelve three or something?
Was that the final? Yes,twelve three? That they don't score?
They and Washington's not good. Idon't think so. It's the amazing thing
is looking at some of other Lopezother numbers. Yea, his walks to

(03:51):
strikeouts is by far right now thebest he's ever had in his career.
It's seven, whereas previously the besthe'd ever had was four point nine.
His whip, which is walks andhits per innings pitched one point one to
two. That ties the best seasonhe's ever had. His career average is
one point one seven, so hisother numbers don't look too bad other than

(04:16):
the era. In me, Iknow, I'm old school and I'm supposed
to be a sam eventrics analytics guy. I think eer is about the most
important stat one as Eira was downto three point ninety three before last night.

(04:36):
Perviously, that had a quick theeffect on it. They're just you
know, I I rose in itand I got ripped. And Friday was
fratten Ohe there must morning. Hewas on Thursday when we were discussing the
twins woeful shortcomings and inadequacies against theYankees, and he was like, you

(05:00):
guys are being preposterous. This teamwent seventeen and three over the past twenty
eight lot. He must be newto the neighborhood man, because well,
that's fine. That was We praisedhim for that. As matter of fact,
I thought, maybe it was onlythe beginning and we could build this
thing together, standing strong forever.Nothing's going to stop us now. But
and then we had that, Wehad those three nights, we won three

(05:21):
series in a row against Red Sox, Marriners, Jays, and then all
of a sudden three games sweep atthe hands of the Yankees. Three games
sweep at the hands of the Guardiansdivision leader. That's where it's kind of
like, Okay, here we go, we lost three in a row and
now we get just just dropped byby Washington. Not a lot to be

(05:43):
excited about right now in Twinsville.Well, and you've had players, was
it? Durand the other night afterus say it basically blamed the calls from
the coaches. First, that's notgood, and we start calling out your
coaches out out in public. Ihave that at the bottom of my notebook.
I think that's worth getting into.Yeah, we should talk about that.
Rosen question number two, Vikings,let's win, let's game. It's

(06:10):
now time to take an in depthlook at the state of the skull.
Matt Bowen of ESPN wrote about thebest NFL team fits for remaining free agents,
and he had the Vikings as thebest fit for two of the fourteen
free agents. One of them wasguard Dalton Reisner, of course, who
was on the Vikings last year.The other was cornerback of Dori Jackson.

(06:32):
Com And if you could only pickone, would you rather have the Vikings
resigned or grab another corner? Ithink because the heat is Riisner and it's
mo Joe Risner. It's he waspretty good. Like if you remember last
year his story too, he wasconsidered. I think he was kind of

(06:57):
a highly regarded offensive lineman. Idon't think anybody he was going to confuse
him with with Ranald McDaniel. Buthe was a good player, and he
admitted he kind of overpriced himself.They kind of did the old when when
when he and his agent receives ofoffers from some of the NFL clubs,

(07:18):
they kind of went, we'll wait, we'll hold out. Next thing,
you know, he's sitting on thecouch watching the National Football League get underway
for the twenty twenty three twenty twentyfour season. Then we needed help.
He came to his census, hesigned it. Yeah, I still think
he made You know, what ishe making a couple of million of a
year, couple three whatever it was. I think he's doing the same thing

(07:41):
now because he had a good didn'the have a buy all accounts, have
a good year for us last year? Didn't we like that? Yeah?
I thought he was great. Yeah, so I think he was thinking again,
well I'm gonna I'm gonna wait up, I'm wrong I'm like Glenn Campbell
on the Rhyinestone Cowboy. I'm gonnaget cards and letters and offers coming over
the phone from people I don't evenknow. There's sits in free agency.
So he would we could use helpat that spot. I'm not when when

(08:05):
you know, when this guy sayswhoever, whoever, whoever? You know
what was this was this dude's name, Matt Boone and Matt Bone, you
know there might be another team thatneeds an offensive lineman just as badly.
So maybe you know there's you know, for him to declare that we're the
best spot for it. I don'tknow, but we could use it.
Defensive backs aren't bad. I'm butnow I'm the guy that's starting to think
B Flow is the miracle worker.Last year, I was like, is

(08:28):
it really a Donna Tell or wasit his personnel? And I think,
uh, certainly B Flow did alot of nice things. You know what
I like about the tennebe He andI are a lot of like on the
golf course. I am aggressive withoutbeing reckless and his defense is aggressive without
being reckless, And so I likewhat I saw last year. They've they've

(08:50):
added some defensive pieces, including thefirst round pick, the Floyd Turner,
no Dallas Turner, and he's byall accounts, supposed to be almost a
can't miss kind of a player.And then you know, we didn't we
add some defense? Did we adddefensive backs? We've got some guys.
Yes, we drafted one. Wethe Shaquille guy. We got excited.

(09:15):
We excited. I'm not super excitedabout our secondary and maybe we should get
the Adore instead. I don't know. Uh shoot, quickie, sure.
Question number three, it's time now? Four? What your rank? But
Judy Bautista of NFL dot com didrank the most vulnerable reigning division champions.

(09:41):
She has Tampa Bay at one,A in Dallas at one B, Buffalo
at three, Baltimore at four,Houston at five, Your MotorCity Kitties,
the Detroit Lions at six, Sanfran at seven, and Kansas City at
eight. Common do you agree withher rankings for the most vulnerable reigning division
champs? Boy, way, wayfor Jude D. Jude D Judy to

(10:01):
go out on a limb. Yeah, I would like to think, or
I would like to hope I don'tbecause I don't think the Viking. I'm
sorry, you can Nega trauma andme and I'll buckle up and try to
just I'll buckle up. I'll hangonto my hat and elevate and my scrot

(10:22):
him when he gave me that negatrometer. But I as we stand right now,
I have a hard time believing theVikings are going to make much of
a run for the division title.I really do. I think Detroit is
the odds on favorite. I knowit sounds crazy two years ago. If
you had ever uttered two years agoand then any year before then, if
you had ever uttered the phrase,I think the Lions are the odds on

(10:43):
favorite to win the division. Youwould win the Preposteros Statement Tournament, hands
down. You would. They wouldn't. You wouldn't even have a tournament.
They were really good last year.They've continued to build. The Homes guy,
their GM, he's he's put together. You know, you know,
I'm going to put him on theAlis Connolly with with with the Wolves,
what he did for Denver and thenwhat he did with us, I don't
know. He took a Wolbegone franchiseand turned that thing around with a lot

(11:07):
of savvy draft picks, made somenice trades to get to those draft picks,
including the Hawkinson deal, so Ithink, and then I I,
you know, I know Viking fansdon't want to hear this, and that's
why I think they pooh pooh thequarterback Jay Love. And I'm just Green
Bay in general, I don't Iwhen I say I liked what I saw,

(11:31):
I didn't because it's Green Bay.But I liked what I saw as
far as just evaluating the team.They're young, hungry, Their defense seemed
to be pretty good to me,and I think Jay Love's the real deal.
And then I don't know what tomake of Chicago yet, I'm with
you. It's still a rookie quarterbackand they don't have you know, their
defense isn't great, But stranger thingshave happened. I think right now the
Vikings are battling for Chicago to stayout of the cellar. But stranger things

(11:54):
have happened. The b flow magic. Maybe McCarthy starts the season and these
otherworldly and maybe rise in her signsand last fly. But yeah, I
think she's probably summed it up justa miuth, right, five three four,
that's it for by a five pauestions, well, actually three questions,

(12:15):
but five sounds like more than four. Can it be? You have
a uh you have a keyword fora grand in the hand contest. Huh
Yeah. The fanom Big Duck dotcom want to give you shots to put
a grand in your hand with theirNational Cash contest just to enter the keyword
at grand at caffan dot com.Now for shout of winning. That keyword
is grand un turn now caffan dotcom. You've heard it all across the

(12:50):
airwaves all season long, and nowyou can wear it. Nagger Hoody hoot
t shirt for the Western Conference Finalswith options for both shipping to home to
pick up from US darting this Thursday. Okay, yours today at camfean dot
com. Keyword storm A couple ofthirteen fourteen past common Man program tenneby.

(13:18):
I think I need a a redo, a mull again. I need a
second chance. We talked about barelyBig ticket brought up yesterday. He thinks
that the Game seven victory over theDenver Nungus by the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday
night was a more exciting moment thanMinneapus miracle. Then you could debate that,

(13:43):
you know, as you and Isaid, I don't think you can
compare the two because one was aninstantaneous moment, the other was a long
build, but they were both veryexciting. We brought up Game seven,
nineteen ninety one World Series. Idon't think anything will compare. That's the
greatest Game seven in World Series history, not just Misnesota's World Series history,
but tenn Toby, I think Ifound one that tops them all. Okay,

(14:05):
twenty fifteen NFC Championship game Seattle twentyeight, Green Day twenty two,
greatest game in Minnesota. Vikings juston the top. That's that's got to
be the tops for me, andthen it's Jack Morris. Uh. And
then you can toss upon the othertwo. But that was pretty big.

(14:26):
Yeah, I looked at If youlook at that Twins box score, let
me look at Twins game yesterday,because I I just glanced at it this
morning. Twins game I'm googling yesterday. The Twins trouble seems so far away
yesterday. Twelve three was the finalscore. Here's your line, tend Toby.

(14:54):
Washington twelve runs on fourteen hits,no errors. That was an eight
innings. By the way, theywere the home team, they only had
to go to the plate eight times. That's an eight innings. They didn't
even need the extra three outs theextra inning. Twelve runs, fourteen hits,
no errors, twins, three runs, eight hits, one air,
scored nine less runs, had sixfewer hits, and booted the ball one

(15:18):
time as well. And then whenyou look at just the individual statistics,
Jeffers now hard to argue with himleading off playing eh. I mean,
he's been their best player, everyday player by far. A walk in
a run corre As you mentioned ofthe two run homer, Margo one for

(15:39):
four, Miranda one for four,Buxton one for four, Castro two for
four and scored to run, Farmerone for four, Santana one for four
as well as a walk. Beasquezdid nothing, Lopez. You add the
numbers, five innings, eight runs, seven of them, earned one walk,
five Rakouse theo Barr didn't fare muchbetter, won any three hits and

(16:03):
earned a run. And then who'sBouchley? Who are these people? There
are people on this team I neverheard of? What was he just recently
called up? They just must havea have a having sat the Saint Paul
Saints, the Triple A team soclose, really does benefit the club?
Who is Bouchley? I've never heardof this guy before? And again I

(16:25):
admit I'm not paying his close attentionto the Twins as I once did,
But I've never heard of the guybefore. He gave up three hits to
earn runs, a walk in astrikeout. Is he an everyday player that
they just had coming from mop upduty? Is he like a is he
like a a utility infielder or doeshe? Does he really pitch for a
living? Actually, for the waythe Twins have been pitching later, that's
pretty good numbers. But I amhow do you spell his name? B

(16:48):
o U s h l e yBouchley? Caleb must be as I say,
I'm not. I got to admitI've not heard of this kid?
Is a pitcher? What is it? Does it got it? Anything at
all? On him? Like awho? What? Why? Wear?

(17:10):
And win? Or name? Rank, serial number? It's from Wisconsin,
Hortonville, Wisconsin. Hey, okay, it's sort of kind of one of
us, but not really. Draftedin the thirty third round by the Padres
in twenty seventeen. Played college atWisconsin Lacrosse. Kind of a hometown kid
and that pitch two innings this year, giving up two runs, three hits.

(17:32):
Is that his big league debut?I want to know. He's been
around a little bit. So hewas in one game with Millie Wake last
year. Okay, so excitement forhim and he he didn't fare very well
yesterday, Tammy. We did notmention this. It was on the bottom
of my note, but we wereso caught up in the euphoria that was
the Minnesota Timberwolves Game seven victory overthe Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference semifinals.

(17:56):
And was that? Did I hearthat right? It was exactly twenty
years to the day that the MinnesotaTimberwolves, led by a big ticket Sam
and Spree, won the only othergame seven in franchise history? Is that
right? Because our first round matchesdidn't go seven? Who did we play

(18:18):
that in the first round that year? We beat Sack in the second round
and then we lost it right round. Yeah, I think I think that
might be right. And I don'tthink that was a game so I don't
think it went to Yeah, Ididn't go to seven. So that was
only the second game seven in Timberwolveshistory. So I was so caught up
in the euphoria that we didn't getto this and Bobby Nightingale, really talented

(18:41):
writer, covered the Cincinnati Reds fora long time rights for the fish Rap
Factory West Side. In the headlineof the story today that was written,
this was written this morning, rockleballDelli and then it's rockleball Delli. Colon.
Duran's postgame criticism came from losing streakfrustration Dateline Washington. It says,

(19:08):
after surrendering a walk off homer inSunday's five to two loss to the Guardians
Twins closer, is it? Howdo you say? Is it? Johan
Duran Joan Joan Duran said he didn'tagree with the decision to throw a first
pitch curveball to Will Brennan. Duransaid afterward he wanted to throw a fastball.

(19:30):
Here's what he said on Sunday afterthe game. It's not my decision.
I thought that he wasn't good withfastballs. I'm an employee here,
so whatever I need to throw,I need to throw. The decision to
throw a curveball stem from a Mountainvisit with pitching coach Pete McKim. Veteran

(19:52):
catcher Christian Vasquez before Duran faced Brennan. It was the second time Duran took
the loss in the weekend series.He gave up a goal. We had
Omer fro on a curveball to JoseRamirez. Here's what Rocco said yesterday Teamy,
so the day after, he said, Pete leads him and all our
pictures to really good positions every dayand when they walk out there, and

(20:15):
I think they all have great faithin everything that we do. I think
he's just frustrated and was looking fora way to vent I thought it was
unusual. I wasn't expecting it.I'd like to handle our stuff here with
a conversation in the clubhouse. So, in other words, don't take family
business in public. Don't air yourdirty laundry. Duran said sunny that he

(20:38):
did not try to shake off thecurve ball selection. Following the mound visit.
Here's what bald Delli said, ifplayers feel really strongly about something,
they can go ahead and shake offwhen that subject is brought up on the
mound. You can say it beforethe pitch is thrown and not after the
picture is thrown. I think thatwould have been more productive to say something
in that manner, not just inthis instance, but in any and stints

(21:00):
Bauld do they want on to say, we do a good job of game
planning. We know, no matterhow you cut it, what guys are
good at, what guys are lesslikely to be able to do with the
plate. We we know these thingspretty well. I trust Pete, I
trust our staff, and I trustour catchers as well to know these hitters
really, really well. So raisessome interesting issues, tend Toby, little

(21:23):
restlessness inside that clubhouse? Maybe where'sthe winter Schnitzel? Do they still have
their ally sausage? Or did thatfinally rot? Did they finally just toss
that out with the seven game losingstreak, I don't know, we'll break
come back. Get into that anda couple of other topics, and then
welcome the legendary Mark Rose and thefraud father himself under the comment Man program

(21:45):
here in the fan a lot oftime in what's happening with your favorite KVAM
program. Make your voice heard onthe brad shown Brian text line. Let
us know what you have to sayby texting your message A six four six

(22:07):
eight six. That six four sixeight six standard message data rates apply This

(22:40):
is the second day in a rowthat Alan from hasteins as text did the
Brad Shawn Brian came in a textline at sixty four six eighty six looking
for something that Isn't there equal opportunity? You're gonna run any Trump ads?
Or is it just Biden? Foryou guys? When Trump's people come up

(23:03):
with the money, will gladly takeit? It's not. It's not like,
do they really think that we're doingthis. We're you. You don't
think it's some deep state conspiracy.It's the Biden Maybe the Biden side is
desperate. Maybe they think they're goingto lose. If any political candidate can
come to the radio station and spendmoney, well, it's not equal time

(23:26):
on the advertising. It's equal time. If we were to have let's say
big ticket was to have Joe Bidenon, you'd have to have Donald Trump.
That's the way it works. UnlessI think it's like the current president
is talking about some of it.I think depends on subject matter. If
he's talking about you know, theparade, the Wolves, visiting the White

(23:48):
House after winning the you know,visiting the white after winning the NBA title,
I don't think you have to haveequal time. But it's like,
I don't think he understands how advertisingworks. We'd love to have the money.
Bring it on. Why do peoplesee that's the problem. It's obviously
Allen's a crock pot conservative and hethinks there's some kind of conspiracy theory.

(24:10):
And I'm sure there are lunatic liberalswho think there's a conspiracy theory on there.
There's no conspiracy here. We justhad was it like a year or
two ago when Newsmax was constantly advertisingon our station. It's a right wing,
yeah, television news station, andwe have the same thing that the
lunatic liberals were calling in emailing,And I'm not listening to your show anymore.
You're advertising for news like it's itgoes both ways and there's no conspiracy

(24:34):
behind it. No, there reallyisn't it. It's not come one,
Come on. This is an emailthat came to Common twelve twenty two in
the afternoon yesterday. So during thedrama it regis follows. It says subject
line is my man. Then itsays your prognostication and ability to get the

(24:56):
Wolves to lose those three games tomake us go to a dramatic six and
seven is unprecedented. I can't believethey're not talking about this on Sports Center
in the national media. It wouldhave been so boring if they won for
what it would It would have beenso boring if they won. For what
you did and what you created forthe state of Minnesota and Wolves Nation is

(25:18):
something we'll never forget. In fact, we shouldn't be grateful for the Wolves
in terms of how they won thistournament, but for what you did to
get them to concede the next threegames to Denver, allowing us to experience
Game six and seven, and andI'm a little humbled by it. I'm
blushing right now. I get it. It was just a different way to

(25:41):
look at it. But it's theway I've always viewed sports. I especially
lately. I'm an homosite. Therewas a time I was do or die,
wanted the best for my team nomatter what I wanted. I wanted
to get to a victory or achampionship in the easiest way, quickly way
possible. But then as you startto get a little long in the tooth,

(26:03):
Tenneban, you you have a family, you know, going on thirty
five, I've got some kids ofour I'm thinking of cherry Bomb by John
Mellenkip. Got a few kids ofour own, that's right, that's Tom
Petty. Yeah, got a fewkids of earth. So as you get
older, you have a few kidsof your own, and you start watching

(26:26):
their sporting activities, and those comemuch more important to you because you got
blood in it, right, it'sit's it's I created Doo some baby brother
Peter from my looints, and sotheir sporting activities become way more important to
me than anything professionally or collegiately.Do you agree with that? Wednesday night,

(26:47):
I had Leo's baseball game, andthen I had the Wolves game on
DVR, and which I cared moreabout. Yeah, even though half the
pictures can't get the ball late,I still cared more about. Yeah,
your your boys team and how yourboy plays seemed develop and you want the
best form, and you talk aboutyou talk about buckling up, holding onto
your hat and elevating your scrotum.Though I wouldn't do it at at little

(27:10):
league games, Tande, I wouldn'televate your scrotum. It's not a good
idea. You're going to get introuble there. But I like the I
now watch. I mean, sureI've got a rooting interest, but I
still root for entertainment. I've toldyou this before, haven't I. I
texted this to a basketball coach friendof mine where I because I I he

(27:37):
had heard me talk about I wantto see a game seven. Baby brother
Peter and I when he played travelbasketball AAU and even high school. Right,
we didn't like blowouts either way.Like, let's say we the team
Pizza on we were up like twentytwo. You know, in the first

(27:59):
half. We wanted the up,not for us to play, but we
wanted the other team to come backand make it a game. It's more
exciting. I don't like blowouts eitherway. Now, if there's going to
be a blowout, obviously you wantyour favorite team to be on the right
end of the blowout. But Ilike it when it's like going to the
fourth quarter tie game. It's beenback and forth, and it's been good

(28:22):
basketball or good hockey, football,baseball. It's been at at at the
highest level, competed by the bestplayers in the world, and it's back
and forth and it's exciting, andyou just don't know what the outcome is
going to be. It could goeither way. It's a coin flip,
and I like, I like thefeeling of the butterfly. Now you can
still get them when you're up threegames, then go to game four,

(28:44):
I guess you know. Then yougo to if you have to go to
a game five, it's more.And then it goes to a game six,
and that's where it starts to allcamp up's let's ramp it up.
So that's why, that's what Iliked about it, and that's why and
I got I got to destroyed bya lot of people. There were people
that you're actively rooting against the Wolves. Not really. And guess what I

(29:06):
think it makes it Burrera, wetalked about what somebody asked me what I
thought about Barre. Barrero said itmost excited and then than than than Minnie's
miracle. That's because it went toa game Seff they if they had swept
the Denver Nuggets and won games threeand four by thirteen fourteen point teach,
you wouldn't have a game that you'dbe comparing the minneapolisity. That is exactly

(29:27):
right, the drama, that's exactlyright. That's exactly that's what I was
talking about. And and when whenyou're able to finally get to that point.
It's it's what I've been preaching forthirty years on the radio station.
When you get to that throw pillowmoment, when you say to yourself,
I'm not going to let the outcomesof sporting events, even the local hometown

(29:52):
teams, affect my enjoyment to thegaming. I'll be disappointed, but you
know it goes on. I gottatend to be if if the wol to
lose Thursday night, right, let'ssay the Wolves lose Thursday night, WEDNESDA
night or Wednesday Tomorrow night. Tomorrownight, I got a seven forty round
against one of my arch rivals,Gummy. I got a round of golf

(30:15):
to play, and then guess whatelse can it be? Friday about nine,
nine forty five in the morning.I'm gonna be north of that in
Nooka County Line. My trouble isgonna be behind me. So, Okay,
they lost. It's the way shegoes. But I think people are
starting to understand that and feel betterabout that. So much of it is

(30:38):
out of your control anyways, Biblicallybad, historically good. There were people
that's that that countered me and said, well, if you want historically good,
then why wouldn't you want the Wolvesto win for in a row.
I guess if they won foreign arow, four in a row, four
in a row, for in arow, that would be historically good,
historically good, would I think theI think the Warriors have the best postseason

(31:06):
record for one single postseason and gettingto the championship in NBA history at sixteen
and one. No one's been betterthan that. Has the anyredy matched that?
So unless the Wolves went sixteen andoh, then it wouldn't be historically
good. It would be historically goodfor this franchise. And I guess,
and I guess when they were sixand oh, you could have said,
well, well then why are yourooting for a loss? Because they could

(31:27):
be It's too difficult to do that. It's really hard. I love our
Wolves team. I just don't knowif they're quite at the level of Golden
State. But maybe they are.Maybe. I don't think you need to
get to that level to be historicallyno. But yeah no, But if
you are talking about being the bestof all time, which is another definition
historically good, I don't know ifwe'll if this team, you know,

(31:52):
there's already now we're seeing stories aboutwe've got a dynasty in the making.
I guess it's it's fun to thinkthat way, but we're a long way
from that, right, don't youthink or do you think have you seen
enough Tenneby, especially with a thrillinggame six and thrilling game seven, backs
against the wall, gut check time, no tomorrow, that whole thing,

(32:15):
that we're really on the way towarda dynasty. Well, let's let's win
one first. I would say,yeah, I would say they've got the
makings of a dynasty in terms ofa guy that looks to be the best
player in the league potentially, andhe's twenty two years old, and he
has he has MJ and Kobe qualitiesat least physical qualities. Are we so

(32:37):
I get why I mean this,This doesn't look like as a one time
magical run. This They have thepotential to duplicate this and replicate this for
the next three four, five,six, seven, eight years. Where
you show a charity how many threefour, five, six, seven,
eight twenty two years old, letme ask you a question, Yeah,

(33:01):
is he going to be able todo it all by himself? All of
those years? What if other playerscome and go, we've got luxury tax
tend to be And how about this? Let me throw this one at you.
What blank it's not He's not evena wet blanket wins. Let me
throw this wet blanket at you.What if let's say the Wolves get to
the NBA Finals and lose in heartbreakingfaction or fashion to the the Celtics.

(33:25):
Yeah, just assuming the Celtics win. Sure, let's say next year we
get dumped in the Western Conference finals. Yeah, maybe maybe big me out
thinks he could go win with Stephand maybe he could win with him be,
Or maybe he could go win withJimmy Buckett. Maybe he could go
win with Joker. Are you discountingthat? Do you not know that that

(33:46):
happens in this league all the time, all the What if he wants to
go to what if he wants towhat if he what if this ten to
be? Let me ask you thisquestion. What if what if Ann knows
what a pro wants and know whata pro needs? What if he wants
to go to OKAC and play withChet and Sga. Let's not start talking

(34:07):
dynast Esga and Chet want to comeplay with Ant it's possible, right.
I mean everything you're saying, Icould say it the other way. I
could say Minnesota might be a destinationwhere players around the league go. That's
where I want to go to getmy ship. I'm gonna go play with
ant I'm gonna go play with thebig meals. Are you new to the
neighborhood here in Minnesota? That doesn'thappen here? Does that happen in OKC?

(34:31):
What a pro wants, what apro wants, what a pro needs?
Those pros are sitting home right now. You're getting pretty cocky for it.
You're getting You're starting to get thatcockiness. You know what I would
say to h Shay and Chet ifthey want to win a championships? Bring
your ass here? Yeah, bringyour ass? That would be good.

(34:51):
Should make a T shirt like thatand sell it. Can I give you
the Wolves? Breaking news? Suchtalking wolves? Let me guess an society
he wants to be traded to?Okay? See no, uh, Rudy
Gobert and Jane McDaniels are both nameto NBA All defensive teams. Yeah I
saw that. No. Go Bearand McDaniels become the first pair of Timberwls
teammates to be named all defensive teamsin the same season. Yeah, I'm

(35:19):
Jayden was a second team. Justa word of caution. I remember.
There was also a time in thenot too distant past whereas someone I know
rather well I've worked with for anumber of years declared the local hockey team
to skate triots and so they wouldcontend for Stanley Cups for years to come,
years to come. Yeah. Ithink the quote was five, six,

(35:42):
seven, eight years. Yeah,and what happened there. So that's
just a word of caution. Thisis a different situation, different sport,
but just a word of caution.There's an old saying Tennessee, I think
there was in Texas fool me once, shame on me. Was Roger Daltrey

(36:10):
one thing saying, So I won'tget fooled again, right, So be
careful tim to me, I mean, because you know again, I'm just
trying to protect you. I justwant to protect your your heart, your
mind. I just don't want yoursoul. I don't want to I don't
want all of a sudden something,a soul crushing defeat at the at the
hands of let's say the mass becauseI wouldn't even write off the maps.

(36:30):
And I don't know they're a lowerseed than us, right were they were
the five or sixty? They've gottwo terrific players in Don Chic and Kyrie
Irving. Irving, he's kind ofhe's a little goofy, right. Wasn't
he a flat earther for a while? Yes? Hasn't he had other stuff
too? Has he won a title? Did he win one somewhere with Bostonland?

(36:53):
That's right? Yeah, he playedwith Lebron all those years ago.
That was baby brother Peter, favoriteplayer for her for the longest time.
Aunt Kyrie matchup looks like what itwill be, right, I can't assume
there would be any other matchup,you know, in the game Don dont

(37:14):
and said the exact same thing afterbeing interviewed out of the game. Yeah,
that would be just about Dallas.Yeah, I'll be a match up
with Yeah, I would think,I mean, that only makes sense.
McDaniel's on Doncic, Yeah, andthat only makes sense. And McDaniels just
got named to the All Defensive Teamsecond team. Did you say the first
year second team second team? Yeah, I mean I certainly hope Springs Eternal

(37:37):
and the future does look bright.But I'd like to maybe get out of
this Dallas series. I'd love tosee an exciting series. I know you
want a four game Well maybe youdon't, but I everybody wants a four
game sweep. I'd like to seeanother game seven. Financially, I would
like a four game sweep. Iwould like to see another game seven is
what I'd like to see. Andthen I'd like to see a Game seven

(38:02):
NBA Finals at the Garden. Idon't care. We'll play any where they
want. Anywhere you want to play. Where will you driving when you're driving
the Bronx, I'll drive anywhere HarlemQueens, Remember taxi driver? No,
what if we can find that quotemovie quotes, let me guess you're gonna

(38:28):
say, it's gonna be really hardto find. Oh, what's the quote.
It's the quote about it. It'sthe quote about where he'll drive the
taxi cab de Niro. I don'teven know if. I don't even know
if it's that well known of aquote, but it's brilliant. So how
does it go well? Like Isay, it goes well, I can't
remember that. But he says he'lldrive in Harlem. He'll drive in the

(38:50):
Bronx. He'll drive anywhere. He'snot afraid. There's some cabbys that won't,
don't want to go to the darkestparts of the world, and he'd
go anywhere. He was taxi driver, he was de Niro. Just such
a such a good movie. Butanyway, we'll see how it goes.
I'm I'm feeling confident heading into theWolves have to be brimming with confidence after

(39:13):
knocking off the defending NBA champions indoing so at their place, winning game
six and seven. Uh so,all is right with the world. Let's
break and come back. We'll breaka little bit early here. I'd like
to welcome Mark Rosen in the conversation. We got plenty to get to when
the legendary one joins us. Nextit's the Common Man Program with Common Teaby
