Speaker 3 (00:49):
Thirteen fourteen pass common Man program common tend to be
in there, Legendary one will not be here'll be back
on Tuesday. I saw a grimmer, He's in, He's in house,
caup True Acts, Nordo's here as well.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
I think for.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
He probably wouldn't just hit a bucket of balls.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
He could have. That's probably what he did real quick.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
One text messager says, I think we worry too much
about what players say after a game.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
I don't worry about.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
It, but it's what I think it's that's for me,
that's the most interesting part, to see where they've been,
where they're going, where their heads at, what makes them tick.
Uh So for me it's sort of lets me know
where the team is a psychologically and mentally so I

(01:33):
to me, it's it's the most important part after the
game is completed.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
I don't want to know what happened, why did it happen?
And when?

Speaker 3 (01:41):
When a player says I were just bored, well, to me,
that's if not alarming, it's annoying to say the least.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
But it's time out for five to three? Four here,
time now for five questions?

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Well, actually three, but five sounds like more than four.
Question number one the Year of the bo Yeah, I
went well for Detroit last night.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
And off to Gibbs working the right side walk in
front of the ten, Gibbs skipping to the five over
the heads off for a touchdown. Kristen Cologne was the
convoy to lead Gibbs to the promised Land and perhaps
to lead the Lions to their eighth win.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Of the season.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yeah, Jamier Gibbs tallied three tonies. He had seventy seven
receiving yards as the Lions crushed the Cowboys forty four
to thirty last night in Detroit. I'mon Ross and Brown
battled through an ankle injury to gain ninety two yards
on six catches as the Lions improved to eight and
five common. Will your kiddies make the playoffs? I don't know,

(02:51):
Probably not the branch injury.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
And you know, I know all teams suffer injuries, right,
and many teams suffer serious injuries, and their team still
rise to the occasion when game to make.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
The playoffs and uh go to the Promised Land.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
But losing Branch as big Achilles, he's out.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
I you know, I don't. They've got to play the
Rams at Los Angele.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yeah, that's tough one.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Next week, that's a really tough one. Then they have.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Pittsburgh at home, Pittsburgh at home, and again, you know,
Pittsburgh's okay club, but.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
They should be Pittsburgh hope you would hope they should
win at Minnesota.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Well they should have wanted Detroit against Minnesota, and you
saw what happened.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
And then I think we might even be more disinterested
by then, right, I mean, I know what you're saying,
but I'm just saying they should. That's there's no guarantees,
but that's Steelers Viking should be two wins. So then
it comes down to at Rams at Bears are the
two other games? Yeah, probouly that Bears you got to
win because you're probably fighting for them for a playoff spot.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
You probably have you have to you can only afford
to lose one at the most, and even then I
think you're you could be in trouble. Yeah, to answer
your question, No, I don't think the row has been restored.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
I don't think they're gonna win. I think they're windows closed.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
But hey, I sure hope it. I didn't think they
were at uh. I didn't thin they were.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Gonna win last night. I should have a.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Deuced I was giving Deuce a hard time for his positivity.
I go, you have no idea. Don't you understand we're
not going to win this game to night?

Speaker 2 (04:12):
And then we did so if we hadn't done the
bit and spread swing, if you get in the Lions,
I would have picked the Lions really in spread swing. Yes, Dallas'
defense is awful like and Detroit plays better at home.
Their offense always looks way better at home. I knew
they were gonna put up thirty plus points last night.
They put up forty plus points. Right, just slam dunk.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
I don't trust.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Him, don't question number two.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
It's top now four? What your you'd rather be do?
The cocky thing about what did it? But you mama
can't stop him.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
Your daddy can't stop and the police can't stop him.
The only question to be answered is will they be
wearing Road whites or Honolulu blue at the big game.
I can play that game if you want, but I'm
trying to cut up in a bion and be honest
a just like the while, it's like all.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
The players, not just placating your listeners like you've BECUSA
before playing to your audience. Uh. Common rank these Sunday
football games in order of which you would most want
to watch. Bengals at Bills, Texans at Chiefs, Steelers at Ravens,
Colts at Jeguars, or Bears at Packers Bears Packers, that's

(05:23):
number one for you.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Yeah, I mean.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
NFC North December Football playoff football to summary you can't leave.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Plays in the field, curly frozen tundra. Uh the oldest
rivalry and pro football.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
An interesting Bears team that yeah, first year head coach
Ben Johnson.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
You know they were. I mean when you.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
Have a first year head coach, I mean the year
before you, you weren't very good typically typically and so
lets the coach had retired and rolled off into the sunset.
So and uh yeah, so I.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
For me, what were the other games? Because it was
one other one.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
I think I liked Bengals at Bills, which means a
little bit more now that Joe Burrow's back, but does
nothing for me. Texans at Chiefs.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Texans Chiefs because Houston.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Has won for their last five or four in a row,
five of their last six, and their defense is rock solid,
and I loved.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
To case they can't lose to them. They're gonna be
out of a playoff spot if they lose to them.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
So that would be my second on that on that
list of games.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
And Steelers at Ravens, Colts at Jaguars.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
I don't know if I can stomach watching Danny Dimes
get just lit up because I just don't know how
he's gonna playing with a fractured fibula. He just has
no mobility. But I mean, that's an interesting game. They're
both eight and four, they're they're they're tied for the
division leads. So but I yeah, that would be third
on that list. I mean number one, of course, Vikings.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
You know.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
Horn has been reborn, but yeah, I was. Someone just
said comedy from Detroit at Coon Rap, But I still
don't know. I've made it perfectly clear up here. I
was born in.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
Detroit and moved away at an early edge and grew
up in cool Rapids. Well then move.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
I moved to Forest Lake for a while too, so
I got a lot of look But this way I'm
a loaner and a drifter is what I am. So
I've been doing my whole life Question number three, and
now it's time to go.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
In the trenches.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Find out today that Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray will
not return for the rest of the season due to
that lingering foot injury. A question for you common, Will
Kyler Murray be the Cardinals starting quarterback quarterback next season?
And if not, should the Purple be interested? I think
you were really high at him for a long time.

(07:45):
I don't know if you still are. I's got hard
to be too high. Yeah, and I'm still.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
I really wasn't high or low. I didn't know enough
about him.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
I've got to let see gott play a little bit,
and he hasn't done much to impress me.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
I don't know what else they would do.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
I don't know what his contract situation is, and there'd
be interest from other clubs on the vikings No, I
mean quarterback.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Whisper maybe he can do it. You know, he seems sitting.
That's what everybody thinks of.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
You bring somebody in to see O'Connell, he can turn
them into a Pro Bowl caliber quarterback. So I guess
you could try it, but I well, I never did myself,
But I don't think I would want him.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
No.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
I think I how many years has he been in
the league now? Now, didn't Darnold have been in a
long time. There's a lot of guys that have been
in a league a long time, hasn't what I mean,
has there been guys that have been in a long
time that suddenly.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Flourish, right, including Donald?

Speaker 3 (08:51):
He had bounced around from several teams and he turned
into a really good quarterback.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
So I'm just googling right now. This is a year
number seven for him. Yeah, he was drafted in twenty nineteen. Disappointing.
He's always He's always had a lot of talent. He's
got arm talent, he's mobile, he can you know, for

(09:19):
a team that's kind of lacks some blocking at times here,
it would be nice to have a guy who can
extend the play occasionally, which Kyler can do.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
I think he's really good at that. Grand Theft Auto ten.
That video game.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
He was very good at that.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
I think he's good at the video.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
That might be the problem is our current quarterback overthinks
Kyler might underthink Yeah, so you don't want him?

Speaker 1 (09:40):
No, absolutely don't know.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
Question number three, Oh my games, let's win this game.

Speaker 5 (09:50):
It's now time to take an in depth look at
the state of the school.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Pretty simple question you're common on Sunday. Are we more
likely to see JJ McCarthy or nine playing quarterback for
the purpose? Uh?

Speaker 1 (10:06):
I hope nine. I like the alter ego thing. I
think it's a cool bit. And always.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
I don't know what I mean. I guess I'm expecting
pretty much the same we've seen.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
I hope not. I hope that it really was he was.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
They were over coaching him with the mechanics and it
was in his head. You know, two or three, six,
seven times. You and I've made the comparisons to golfing.
You can't be thinking about every swing thought where it's like, okay,
posture right, make my post right, make a big turn,
set my wrists at the top, hesitate a little bit
when I come in to make impact. Don't be in

(10:49):
front of the back. You know, you can't think of
all the you know, the things that I need to
think about. I try it to think about him on
the course. You do it when you practice or before
you and so.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
I don't know it.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
Has that been his problem? He thinks maybe it asked
we read the quotes in the first hour about where
he said I'm an overthinker. Well, maybe he'll stop overthinking it.
The coaches said, we're just we're scrapping the mechanics stuff
until the offseason. Just go out and throw the ball
and make place. Hopefully that will free him up. Hopefully

(11:19):
that will allow him to just play football. See open
receivers have the timing right, and maybe without all the
thinking about eyes and feet and head, shoulders, knees and toes,
knees and toes, he'll throw accurate.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
Passes and you'll.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
Start to at least resemble a competent quarterback in the NFL.
And that's it for today's edition of five questions, Well,
actually three questions, but five sounds like more than four.

(11:59):
A couple of other hidbits to toss at your tennabee
on the other side of the breaking with the audience,
and then uh so a program password Gatum Truex, former
Oh Boy, the former International Boxing Federation Super Midway Champ
of the World, the voice of the golfers, Grimmer and
Uh Nordo, Uh the project, all that coming up.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
You're on the common Man program in the fan.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
I want to him in and what's happening with your
favorite KMFM program? Make your voice heard on the brat
Sjohn Brian text line. Let us know we have to
say about texting your messages six four six eighty six.
That's six four six eighty six Center message and data
rate supply.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
A couple thirteen or fourteen.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
Past Common Man program, I'm common He's tenab program password
or right on the corner of Grim Nordo and true
Axe will join us.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
They'll be out this today and the next Friday as well.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
Text messages accepted at the bradje On on Bryant kVA text line,
including this one that says Colm and you say you're
paid handsomely, yet the effort you put forth is more
like London broil than Philip Mignon. Imagine how many more
people would tune into your show if you just put
in the effort.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
Love the grummy boy.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
It just sounds like I don't put in any effort
because I'm sort of a natural.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
It's it comes easy to Like when you.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
Watched Gail Sayers run a football, did it look like
he was working really hard at it?

Speaker 6 (13:46):
It didn't.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
It was just it was just so fluid, so smooth.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Even here in Minnesota. Like if you've watched Randy Moss, Yes,
if you watch him just running a flag at a
go route fly pattern and you see the defensive back
running next to him, it looks like he's it looks
like Randy's not running as hard as you can just
because he has long effect.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
He's efficient, and I'm very efficient with my with my burbage.
I'm very efficient with what i have to say. And
so that's that's in a nutshell, it just seems like
I'm not putting forth very much effort. But I am,
though I must not be putting as much effort into

(14:23):
it as the Power Trip Morning Show. You saw it
in John the sixty four. They're in the championship before
we're thrilled for them. They are taking on fantasy football today,
not fantasy football yesterday, not fantasy football tomorrow, not even
fantasy football last week, but fantasy football today.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
This is ballot.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
Box stuffing at its finest right, And why do all
the good things happen into the PowerP morning show?

Speaker 2 (15:02):
You ever noticed that tendabe? Yeah, oh, it's going to
be then.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
The wine, the women, the song, the accolades birthday parties
every year for another successful year, trips to Las Vegas,
they'll win.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
Somebody even said.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
Power Trips in the final sixty four where your listeners
be supporting them?

Speaker 1 (15:38):
I hope not.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
No, I'm sorry, I hope so. Well, here's the thing
I think we I think what people don't say. We
share a lot of listeners, right sure.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
I mean, did you see this, you know we were.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
Talking about with oak where they have like Spotify, does
the they tally everything that you've you've listened to or
whatever the case may be. Somebody sent me and I
had to take a picture of it because I didn't
know if it would print, because sometimes when people do screenshots,
they don't print on your printer. Right, I took a
picture of this. Tenab listen to this. Here's what they

(16:12):
sent to him. It's got our logo and then it
says KFA NFM one hundred point three and this is
a message to.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
The listener.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
You listened for sixty two thousand and nine hundred ten minutes.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
You've got to be kidding me.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
In twenty twenty five, congratulations, you're in the top ten
percent of KFAN FM one hundred point three listeners, almost
sixty three thousand minutes listening. Coroner's office started doing some
calculating for me, and I think that is the equivalent

(16:52):
if you're listening.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Do you want to go in to kkkos by the
way he's talking right now, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (16:56):
Let's go ahead a complimentary game with the other two
phases as well.

Speaker 6 (17:00):
To win.

Speaker 4 (17:01):
This one stood out most Washington coming out for the
most I just think, uh, the you know, I I
had done quite a bit excuse me, quite a bit
of work on him the previous year and then uh,
you know which there was a lot to like on
that tape, and then you take a step forward with
what he did, uh in in his final year at LSU.

(17:22):
The growth from one year to the other was was phenomenal.
And that's saying something because he was a really good
player of the previous year. I had, you know, the
ability just through some connections at the you know, even
when he was at Arizona State. I knew about him,
kind of always known about him, and then just watching
his growth throughout his college journey. I was not shocked
at all with either where he was selected and ultimately

(17:45):
the type of rookie year he had. I think he's,
you know, above the neck, smart, cerebral, totally.

Speaker 6 (17:55):
In complete poise.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
It seems like every snap, regardless of whether it's a
playoff game last year or his first start, going back
to the beginning of last year, and so I'm expecting,
even though he's been been recovering here for a few weeks,
I'm expecting that same guy on Sunday US Bank Stadium,
which means, you know, they're going to be at full
capacity and we got to be ready to play well,

(18:18):
not only on defense, but in all three phases.

Speaker 7 (18:21):
Haven't We talked a lot about Dallas Turner through the
last a year and a half from just what have
you seen recently for him to seemingly produce at a
more consistent level last YEA.

Speaker 4 (18:32):
I think he's just learning, you know, after a lot
more reps this year obviously with you know, Gank being
down first stretch and now JG working himself back in
here over the last few weeks, I think he's just
learned and stacked all that experience, just kept working and
now you're seeing a little bit more comfort level mentally,

(18:53):
so that his physical skill set can impact the game.
Because when he's rolling off the ball, physical on the edges,
and his athleticism, speed bursts, agility, power to go rush
the passer, you know he's getting he's getting some ops
and he's been finishing on those ops and the play
styles there, the strain, the finish as it continues to

(19:13):
just descend for him, which you know, as we talked
about all offseason, was my expectation coming into this year,
a year two ascension for him, especially in our defense
with flow in the group there, and I think he's
learned a lot from guys like Jonathan Garnard and Andrew
Van Ginkle, totally different players, but you know, he's had

(19:34):
to really play both of those spots throughout the year,
which I know it's listed as outside linebacker on our
depth charts, but you know, those two guys play totally
different positions. The instinctual asks of Van Ginkel and the
you know, the playmaking and the versatility and the explosion
of Jonathan Gernard getting off the ball. He's had to
do both those things, and I think it's been really

(19:55):
good to see him kind of continue to ascend.

Speaker 6 (19:58):
Glad you asked about him.

Speaker 5 (20:00):
For a young pass rusher, just learning how to be
a tackle when you have to have probably a secondary
move sometimes, what is that process like of just developing
at this level.

Speaker 4 (20:08):
I think that's why, you know, pass rushers, young ones,
when their skill set.

Speaker 6 (20:12):
Might not just be flat out power.

Speaker 4 (20:15):
You know, it takes some guys a little bit of
time because the tackles you're facing every Sunday in the
NFL there, they've got a tough job. They play against
some of the most dynamic athletes on the planet as pass.

Speaker 6 (20:26):
Rushers, so they have seen it all.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
They've seen the they've studied your go to move, So
you have to have a counter, You have to have
a change up or two to then apply and try
to get that guy off balance. And then once you're
able to get that guy off balance and you're not
getting you know, edge help or the back's not working
it that way, or the slide's not coming to you,
you really have to have that activity in that athleticism

(20:51):
to go finish the play. And we've played some dynamic
quarterbacks this year. We'll certainly play one this Sunday where
we've got to get that pass rush, but we also
got to understand the dynamic nature of being able to
change the game from the quarterback position if we let
them cleanly up and out of the pocket. Want to
try to make those guys go backwards one of my
try to make them run outside the back of the

(21:13):
pocket and then plastering coverage and then it's about that
strain and finish that we've been seeing out of Dallas.

Speaker 6 (21:19):
I've seen a lot of tie Felting on special teams.
How has he developed as a receiver one, Yeah, he's uh,
you know, you know it.

Speaker 4 (21:25):
Because of the health at the receiver position, we really
haven't been able to see him a whole heck of
a lot. Got in a little bit against Cincinnati late,
got in a little bit against the Chargers late. But
he's getting the development that's taking place with Keenan.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (21:41):
We've kind of seen it over four years with Jalen
Naylor and and and.

Speaker 4 (21:45):
Obviously Ties in the early stages where he's impacting the
game tremendously in the kicking game, but he's putting the
work in every single day. We have a ton of
confidence in him, and you know, that was one of
the that that definitely went into the equation of kind
of the recent roster moves and things like that, because
we've got some young players that we really like, and

(22:05):
those guys have been doing the work stepping in here
and there. I think Ty takes reps most days in
some capacity at all three spots. So that's the growth
that's going on there. We're hoping is something that we
can really look forward to kind of the fruits of
that here over the next few months and years, continuing.

Speaker 6 (22:23):
With the younger players.

Speaker 4 (22:24):
I know you guys were high on Jalen Redmond, but
has he exceeded what you guys thought you could do
this year? Yeah, I mean he has just from the
nature of the playmaking. It's one thing to just was
he was flashing a lot last year. You know, maybe
he didn't get the type of attention that he has
this year, even from our opponents here seeing people being

(22:46):
well aware of where sixty one is. But it's been
not only the ability to get off blocks, to defeat
blocks at the point of attack.

Speaker 6 (22:54):
He still plays physical.

Speaker 4 (22:55):
He can eat double teams and still make plays in
our movement game up from the burst and athleticism, and
then he's making the play, whether it's a TfL or
some of the sacks he's had this year, he's been
he's been phenomenal, and you gotta be honest about it.
He's exceeded the expectations, but not something that we necessarily uh,

(23:16):
you know, we looked at him coming into this year
as a playmaking guy that if he took that next step,
could have the kind of year that maybe he had.

Speaker 6 (23:24):
But you know, uh, he's been a.

Speaker 4 (23:28):
Huge bright spot in a season where maybe we haven't
had the normal inventory of bright spots.

Speaker 8 (23:34):
Time for two more questions, the challenge that Chris Cooper
has faced with all the different offensive filing combination. So
I guess how would you describe the way that he
has had to navigate a lot of changes up there?

Speaker 6 (23:45):
Yeah, and and they've been different. Right.

Speaker 4 (23:47):
It's been in game a couple times with you know,
as many as three guys taking you know, snap in
the football at center, which is obviously a unique challenge.
It's been throughout the practice week of maybe getting guys
work and thinking we'll have them and we don't.

Speaker 6 (24:02):
What does the game plan look like at that point.

Speaker 4 (24:05):
It's been kind of the young guy development from Donovan
Jackson having not getting the consistent reps post surgery, but
then coming back and playing and having a great mental
awareness of doing his job and kind of building things
back up. And if Donovan's able to go Sunday, the
same thing will kind of apply you a good week
of work. But it's just the different layers to it

(24:28):
this year where it hasn't necessarily been one particular aspect
of it, like last year where Week five, Bam, you
knew the left tackle spot would be different for the
duration of the season, acquired a new player and had
to coach him up and we won eight or nine
games in a row. It's been different, obviously, not just
from the results standpoint, but just the different layers to

(24:49):
it where you're looking at Essentially, in any one particular week,
three fifths of our offensive line has been either in
question or in game having to deal with that dynamic.
I know I can only imagine what he's felt as
the as the position coach, because as the play caller
I have felt that tremendously in games as well, and
we're trying to grow through it and get better at

(25:10):
handling those adverse situations.

Speaker 6 (25:13):
But it is unique. It feels like to this year.

Speaker 9 (26:46):

Speaker 3 (26:51):
Box Arena and you climb inside the confines of the
four ring post as a forty to one underdog.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yeah, yeah, I should have put some money on myself
forty one under dog and you know I would be
here with you jokers. Put some money.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
How often have you gone back and just watched the
rewatch the fight, like, damn.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
It, I've seen it a bunch, you know.

Speaker 9 (27:11):
My once in a while I'll just see it pop
up on my algorithm and watch it and I'll watch
it again obviously, uh, during the anniversary on the ninth.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
But yeah, it doesn't get old. That's for sure.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
Yeah, worked a long time to get to that point,
and you were an afterthought to everybody else. I mean
they think that's why you're forty one under the gales,
think I just this will be a breeze.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
And he was in for rude awake. And then you
won the title. Never forget your reactions.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
Coolest thing every year your claps done on the ram
and you would how many years had you been put
into to that?

Speaker 1 (27:43):
From the time year I was first started probating as
an amateur and yeah, twenty seventeen.

Speaker 9 (27:47):
I first started in two thousand and four as an
amateur in two thousand and four or five six is
an amateur two thousand and seven as a pro, and
that's a journey. Yeah, I was a pro for almost
sixteen almost seventeen.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
Years. Were highs and lows. Probably times, I don't know.
I've never even asked her. Were there ever times you said,
you know, maybe I just thought, yeah. When I lost, Yeah,
when I lost to.

Speaker 9 (28:09):
Anthony Durell was right after my daughter was born and
my my fiance almost passed away and childbirth had a
stroke and got of it thankfully, but uh, the fight
was shortly after that, and I wasn't in any mental
state to go fight.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
And got stopped.

Speaker 9 (28:27):
That the only time I've ever got knocked down in
my career, and got stopped in the first round.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
And that's why I got.

Speaker 9 (28:32):
The the Gail fight, because they thought I was done
and they were wrong.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
I remember, I remember watching the Durell. We settled it
up and we're up in Brainer.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
Yeah for golf, all settled and go just.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
Because the house's okay, what do we do now? We
got some time to kill? Yeah, But yeah, that's that's
what I said. After that, let me go to the casino.
I got some time.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
Well, I you know, I know, we we we've talked
about this on the year before, but I like hearing
it again from you. There was also the fight against
Dan Jacob's were it was the referee stopped in the
twelfth round, right, and you tell the story about how
obviously you wanted to continue when you were annoyed, and
you you know you you argued with the referee a
little bit to no avail. Once he stops the fight,
he can't go, you know, on a second thought, go ahead,

(29:14):
once they stop it, it's over. But then you said
he came to your dressing room.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (29:18):
Yeah, I was down in the fight and I wasn't
gonna win unless it was by knockout. And there was
thirty seconds left and I wasn't hurt and I didn't
get knocked down, but Jacob hit me with a punch
and I kind of stumbled against the ropes and the
referee jumped in and stopped it. And obviously, being a fighter,
I want to keep on going and don't want to
have a knockout loss of my on my resume. And

(29:39):
so I was protesting and mad and probably throwing some
curse words at the reft. But I went back to
the locker room cool down, and he came back and
saw me and knew that I was upset, and he said, hey, man,
like it's not worth you taking any more punishment.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
I want to see a fight again, and it's good
enough for me. Man, thank you. Yeah, because that's working
out for me.

Speaker 6 (29:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
That's one thing that a lot of people don't real
is a referee his number one priorities sit to safety
of the fighters. Yeah, because he's never gonna quit. No,
you're not gonna quit. So he can't just stand back going.
Seems like he wants to keep going to me, he
has to make this. Sometimes guys stop him too soon.
Most of the time it seems like they stop on time.
You'll always have the controversy ones we've seen where guys
get stopped and all of a sudden they probably never

(30:16):
should have been stopped. Or then you see times where
they go too far, and sometimes you think reputation sometimes
plays a part in it. Because I got a guy
like Matthew Sad Muhammed. You you remember him from, you know,
back in the seventies and eighties. He was he was
a light heavyweight. His fights were almost seemed like they
were scripted. He would they he would get way behind
on the scorecards, he'd get knocked around. I've against Lopez.

(30:38):
I'm up on a couchcourd and you got to stop
this fight. I'm screaming at the TV. Well, they'd let
it go and ends up he stops Lopez in the
fourteenth ro out.

Speaker 9 (30:45):
So yeah, and well, you know, uh, I believe you're
at the fight at the Armory a few years back,
David Morrell, Yes, versus I I don't know how to
pronounce the guy's name, but you know, he ended up
having a brain bleed and was in a coma for
months and thankfully he survived and came out of it.
But I mean, after like the third or fourth round,
I was like, this fight needs to get stopped.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
And it went on, I don't know, three more rounds.

Speaker 6 (31:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
Yeah, Now you're selling real estate.

Speaker 9 (31:10):
Yeah, Crystal and real Estate just signed a listing today,
down Shockapy.

Speaker 6 (31:14):
Good for you.

Speaker 9 (31:15):
Yeah, yeah, it's going well. It's busy and great company.
Chris is a good leader. So it's been going going great. Yeah,
going great. And then you were there for the court stormy.
Yeah about that. He needed that win.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
Grim and Nordo thanks for joining us. Yeah, sport is cool,
you know, you know it is the cool part about it.
You storm the.

Speaker 10 (31:33):
Court when you're the box and you're down low like that,
do you yourself maybe jump on?

Speaker 5 (31:37):
Just kind of filled the vibe for a second last year.
I can't remember who they beat Michigan. I think it
was on that forty foot by by Garcia.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 5 (31:46):
And so they stormed the court and I take a
picture because Guargie has stormed the court, he's looking out
at me, so I take the picture and he's given
me the you know, not the index finger, not the
middle finger. Which releast the finger he gives me. But yeah,
I mean guards, he's storming in the court. I had
his kids, so maybe, but yeah, well they were down.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
You're you're there, you know it. They the games that
Govers had won er mad in his first year. You know,
they were against the lesser appoints and the better teams
they lost to. And then you're going against number twenty
two Indiana and you're thinking you got a couple of
in your.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Point guard of two other guys out, and you're thinking
you're under man. And they win a game, and they win.

Speaker 5 (32:23):
There were I don't know nine, nine to ten point
underdogs and now a lot of people gave him a shot.
They were down early and then got it tied at
half and and really outplayed them in the second half,
out rebounded them by fifteen. So it's a team that's
gonna work hard. Certainly that you know, that win is awesome,
and they needed it just just as a you know,
as a morale boost because they see their you know,

(32:43):
buddy go down. He's out for the year. That stinks.
As a point guard. The center is going to be
out for a few more weeks. It sounds like so
two starters down against the you know, the twenty second
their nineteenth and the coaches pulled twenty second and the
writers pull Indiana. They've got a future NBA guy probably
in Tucker Divrees and Gophers held him to three for
thirteen shooting and win the game.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Is that the coach's kid, isn't the coach Divrees?

Speaker 1 (33:07):
That's his son?

Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (33:08):
He was a two time Missouri Valley Player the year
for Drake and then they went to West Virginia.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
He got hurt.

Speaker 5 (33:13):
So he's in like his fifth year.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
And wow, do you think boxing is a tough gig?
And you know, coming back to win like that when
you're underhanded. Then there's being the.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
Producer the show.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
Thank you, thank you?

Speaker 1 (33:26):
Yeah, I thought I do.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
We call it the plight of the producer.

Speaker 1 (33:29):

It's like being in the ring of Caleb Truex.

Speaker 1 (33:33):

Speaker 10 (33:39):
Now, I probably undiagnosed brain bleeds. I'm completely comatose once
or twice, but donate the science versus researcher. Well that's
