Speaker 1 (00:00):
So there was a I think it was even yesterday
where all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it
looks as though they're here to stay. Your second favorite
Beatle song behind Letting Be. I learned that started, and
I learned a lot about you. I think yesterday I
made the statement it is probably going to be nominated
for Paposteros statement. I said that you are the foremost
(00:21):
hockey expert in the Twin Cities, as far as as
far as I'm concerned, You trump Louis, You trump Russo,
You trump Walls. You trump If liber talks hockey, that
means Rosen must too. But right, you trump Libro's. And
then I asked you yesterday you know about the Wild
and you said, well, maybe a fringe playoffs.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
No fringe playoff team. Sure looked like a fringe playoff
team last night. I was lying. Today I'm telling the truth.
It was a do you want to apologize to the
Wild for maybe a little early for that?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Oh well no, come on, now, I'll get on the
vand wagon, don't.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Does he encouraging last name? What encouraging?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Caprice off is on pace to have two hundred and
eighty three points, is that the number.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
What's three times eighty two.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Two forty two forty six?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Keys on pace for two hundred and forty six, But
you can't argue with the math. We're on pace to
go eighty two and er and outscore the opposition. What's
five nothing times eighty two? What's eighty three times five
over four hundred?
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Yeah, and you were telling me you were come in
s wrap around and keep our fingers crossed and hope
we hope we make the playoffs and we.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Can build this thing together.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Stand is wrong forever, nothing's gone to stop.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I thought we were ready get a little Nothing's going
to stop it. What was that diddy you did on
the montage?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I never played that one before. What was kind of
it's kind of a kid's song. It was in the
last fifteen years ago. We're trying to get younger. It's
good feeling by flow right? Oh, by flow right?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
You know we talk of the other day.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
We were talking about bands that were named after cities
or states. How about the individual flow Rider is named
after Florida. Yeah, he just doesn't know how to pronounce it.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
So flow right And what was the aim of that one?
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Again?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Good feeling good feeling well, I'll.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Tell you what. We're feeling pretty good after that. A
couple of the old standbys, was it was it Hartman?
And who's our netminder, Gusts gustav Sin? Is it Gusta
or Goose? All I know is he pitches a shutout
and you weren't doubting that contract extension a little bit work. Yeah,
(02:38):
last night was as good as I seen him. Look
he was completely in control. Yeah he was. The stick
was his brush, the puck was his paint, and the
ice was a cream canvas. I mean, he was just
simply brilliant last night. And I didn't see a minute
(02:59):
of it. But I don't need It's yes a Tererk approach.
I just look at it's five to nothing power play.
First power play. They got on the first power play
though no shots, no goals tender the second. First power
play was awful, right, but they where they took no shots.
If you do not shoot, you do nothing.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Well, the problems they couldn't get into the offensive zone.
So it's hard to shoot if you don't get into
the offensive I.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Think did they score in the second or third power play?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I don't remember which what it was, but it was
the the Eric's and neck tappened and they.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Took a shot. So that's what works. Yeah, I've got
a great hockey right. If you do not shoot the puck,
you cannot score else. It's like in boxing. If I
hit my opponent more times than he hits me, I
will win the fight tonight.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
It's as simple as that.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
I will say two of the goals scored last night.
If you are in the shoot Shoot Shoot camp, yes,
then last night was a good night for you to
back up your argument. Yes, because the ericson neckle Boldie
shot that thing. It was off of face off win.
He shot that from basically just inside the booeline by
the boards, which is one of the worst shots you
could have. But what boldly recognized was we have them
(04:06):
out number two to one in front of the crease.
I just want to get the puck there that Capriceof
deflects it, Eric Sinek puts it in. And then the
Rossi goal, which is the fifth goal. That was another
play where Caprisof was shooting from a very similar area.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
He just turned around and shot it.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
From really far out from a bad angle, and Rossi
found himself all alone out in front of the slot
for the rebound.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Shooting a seventy four unlike.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Let me read that again, I'm having shooting a seventy four,
having an experience that's not unlike that of a PGA
tour player, birth of his children. The last night's wild
game Tennaby's best days of his life?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Would you rank that wild season opening victory?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Five?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Love the Complete dominance has one of the best days
in your life.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
It's hard, it's hard not to write. And if I
was a hockey guy, would be two Dylan from Cities
ninety seven, right, not Dylan from traffic, Dyl dealing from
Cities in eighty seven. He's a sports sports, sports guy too,
and he loves baseball. So but the other day, just now,
he said, how about that wild I go, yeah, I
saw that they won. And then he said, pretty good
(05:12):
on I go, if you like hockey, I just always
take the wind out of sales because he wants to
really get pumped up. Yeah about all the local teams,
And I just always you know what, it's wet blanket
Wednesday on a Friday. It's I can't help myself.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Next time you see Dylan and you walk by him
in the Hallway. I've I've observed something with him. Whatever
day of the week it is, Yeah, he will say
happy end of the day of the week. Is that's
his introduction. Yeah, that's exactly where we walking by. He
was like, happy Friday.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
And when he says happy Friday, and I say, every
day is a Friday to me, I'm just a wet
blanket guy. Every day is a Friday to me, because
it really is.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
You know it is said that for you.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Well, that's true. And you know what's really nice about
this wild win because we didn't have to spin the
wheel at time because I didn't I started out.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Really, it's just kind of some days you just it gets.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Away from you.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I shot in eighty four at Preusswick, but you know
what wasn't going to be I was consistent forty two,
forty two certainly not as consistent as the while. Yeah,
good for them. So they're one and oh one pace
to be eighty two and oh you know, now who
do they play next?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
They got Columbus at home tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Did Columbus winner lose their open or have they not
played yet?
Speaker 3 (06:16):
I'm sure they've played. I have not been tracking my
Columbus Bluejackets hockey up until this point. Can you take
a quick look, let me check out the standings.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Yeah, they can look at the standings.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Looks like they lost regulation. So one team's one to
oh the other zone one.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Somebody's oh, it's got to I guess it really doesn't
have to because they can. They can do shootout tois
can you actually get is there actually anything such thing as.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
As a tie anymore in hockey? Or is there no
no chance of that? No, there's no chance to get
That's where they go to the shootout.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
And they just keep doing the shootout over and over,
so it technically a shootout could last four hours. I know,
I know that would never happen, but technically it could,
right if they just kept.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
More school score score a score score, So okay, well,
then Columbus lost in Nashville two to one. Tomorrow is
a battle of the two teams that are having twenty
five year anniversaries because they both came in as expansion
of franchises together twenty five years ago.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Do they have more glory years than we do?
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Because the Wild Oh wait a minute, we've not had
a glory year or we had.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
One, compared to the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
We have.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
We've been in the playoffs much more often than they have.
But I'm just about a glory year. I mean, the
only glory year we had, I would say, would be
we got to the Western Conference for just making the playoffs,
isn't it. Then the Wild have one glory year. I
would think the Bluejackets have zero.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
They have zero, They've never I why did I think
not long ago they had a really good club and
made a push. I must be confusing them with another
Blue Jackets club or another Columbus team, maybe Ohio State,
because they're always really good.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
We'll take a break, we'll come back peak at the Purple.
There's not much to peak at. They're not even in town.
There's not I think the new Winter Park aka Twin
Cities Orthopedic Performance.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Set of thing.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
My guess is it's a ghost town over there, much
like this radio station is.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
There's nobody around. But we'll do that nonetheless on the
other side of the break.

dash Electric dot Com.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Do you have anything Viking related that you think is
of interest other than.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I'm you know, look, we can I've been told by
the corner's office football always wins, particularly Vikings, So you
just talk Vikings and football. You can talk about every
segment three hundred and sixty five days year and people
love it. I'm so I'm already getting a little quarterback
controversy talked out. You know, I don't know what else
I can add to it other than I'd love to
see McCarthy b our quarterback for the next ten, twelve,
(12:56):
fifteen years. But I'm willing to ride once, you know,
I think he'll play and this Eagles club is starting
to fall apart like a cheap suit. That's two losses
in a row. Though, did you know, Tenneby, they took
my advice and they ran the tush push four plays
in a row. They never stopped, they just ran it.
And when I brought up that they should run the
play every every play, you and Roseen mocked me. Well,
they didn't run for every play, just four. But they
(13:16):
didn't run four times a row. But they lost to
the and I, again, I did not catch any of that.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
There was so much going on last night. I decided
to opt for good.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I don't like to be you know by, I don't
like to hurt the feelings of any of the local teams,
or any of the sports teams for that matter. So
I opted for Gilligan's Island last night. But the Eagles loss.
That's two in a row. And now we're going to
get the stories what's wrong with the Eagles too? The
Eagles be fixed, and I don't know it's this is
the way the National Football League works, tend to be,
and I think they like it this way. And you know,
quite frankly, I did to I like on any given Sunday.
(13:46):
I like when there's this what do we call it?
What's the word we use?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Parody?
Speaker 1 (13:50):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
It's it's I think it's enjoyable. From week to week.
You just don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
You see these teams get out. I think this is
the first time since I remember what year it was,
but it's been it's been a number of years. I
think like five, six, maybe seven or eight that through
six weeks, we've not had an undefeated team in the NFL.
That that for for years now, We've always had at
least one renfeated team.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Now there are no there.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Every every team has at least one loss, which is
kind of fun. And then you watch these teams that
get all like the Eagles.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Got off to another fine start the season, right, they
looked like they were picking up where they left off.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
They're beating good teams, yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Beating good teams. And then now they lose to in
a row and the the Dark Kid and now again
I don't know if you watching it. I look at
the numbers that I saw in the reports I read
it sounded like he's like a combination of uh, Phil Simms,
Danny DeVito and who's the uh, Who's Joepisarchick.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
I mean he's got some talent, right Hosteler, Jeff hostel
that's what us say. What Jopasarchik too. I like Danny
DeVito as a quarterback.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yes, well he was, he is he still the league.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
He struggled to see over the line a little bit short.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
It's hard to see where he's going. So anyway, hard to.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
See over the line.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
When I did not watch the game last night, though
I did see the photograph of Brian Dable, their head coach,
peeking into the blue tents because apparently Jackson Dart was
in a concussion protocol. And funny he peaked his peeked
into the tent and he was able to go after that.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Oh isn't that funny? I've always had that suspicion.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Uh, though I will say this, there have been times
when players have gone into the concussion ten. You're going, well,
they can't pull him out of the game. It's it's
a critical game and he's but they do, they're out.
But I have often wondered if some guys, like they
hold up two fingers and they go, I see four,
your fine, go back and we know we need you
right Yeah, but uh, and I would hope they don't
(15:48):
do that. And you know there's that argument, you know,
I remember, you know a boxer will say, well, I
already put a gun to my head and told me
to get in the ring. If I want to get
in the ring in box, you know, to do the
famous to the late Scott lead when he was stopped
by Larry Holmes in the sub referee.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Stopped to fight. His eye was all swollen.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Scott was annoyed, pissed, wanted the fight to go on
in the in the in the media scrum afterwards, they said,
well the doctor said you could lose an eye, and
then Ledue said, what's an eye?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
When you've given your heart? He was willing to continue
to fight. Now, I still think you.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Somebody has to step in at that point. You can't just,
you know, just because he doesn't mind losing an eye.
I don't think you want to do that. But that's
why I think you do need someone someone say well,
if he wants to keep the steroid.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
People would say the same thing, Well, if he wants
to do steroids, what what businesses and of ours.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Other than it makes an unleveled playing field, you know,
not everybody because not everybody wants to have, you know,
have their head grow the size of of a beach ball.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
And and and they they they don't want the the
there are.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
From what I understand from steroid use, there can be
plenty of of of a bad side effect. Some people
don't want to do that. But yeah, so that you
know Philly, now they don't look so unbeatable anymore. Maybe
roguesmull should start. Let's see what he's got. I mean,
because I think we can beat the Eagles with anybody
at quarterback.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Now, well, that's funny, Like this four game stretch we
have coming up that we thought was going to be
extremely challenging for the Vikings Philadelphia at Chargers at Detroit
home to Baltimore. I'm not gonna act like that's an
easy four game stretch, but Philadelphia doesn't look as unbeatable
as they once were. The Chargers of lost two in
(17:26):
a row, including to the same Giants team the Eagles
lost here last night. Now Detroit looks good, but Baltimore
depending on the health of LaVar Jackson at the time,
and he's not going right now. But even if he
does play, their defense isn't playing very well. So now
the Vikings in their current state, I think can kind
of lose to anybody. They're not good enough to just
(17:47):
assume they can beat mediocre teams, but a stretch that
maybe I thought, Man, we're gonna be zering for one
and three at best. Now maybe you can scrounge out
a two and two or maybe even a three and
one out of that.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
And even with Detroit they are playing well in the ranking.
Nemorls again, you heard Chuck Ettele, and he's right. Their
secondary is a Messgan the four guys they starid that
two of the cornerbacks are gone, and I think a
backup is gone, so they are now Their secondary is
made up of the same kind of pieces as the
Vikings offensive line, in other words, second.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
And third stringer.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
So the lines could struggle there and we'll see how
it goes. They play Kansas City on Sunday night. But
you're right, and that is I guess that's the beauty
in the Bay and the league. Your team can look
unbeatable for a while, then they lose a couple of games,
lose a couple of players, and then they're just in
the middle of the pack.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
I'm not Green Bay, you know. What I mean, mid
middle of the pack kind of a club.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
And then you can be like the the You know,
some teams like the Giants were given up for debt
and probably should be right.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Well, now they've just won two games against Chargers and Eagles,
and they're now two and three or two and four,
whatever they are.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
I'm not and I'm not trying to say, you know,
they should start planning a ticker tape rate in the Giants.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
But the Giants sure do look a lot better than
they did a few weeks, so it changes pretty quick.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Peek at the purple brought to buy our friends at
Affordable Electric for all of your electrical needs Affordable.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Dash Electric dot Com. A little dissed at lad I've
got some more. I don't have anything.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I was gonna say more controversial bikerss to say I
have nothing. But we'll get to the top of the
hour and then a little be with the feminine touch
right here on the fan.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Actor in comedy legend Adam Sandler is coming to Grand
Casino or Reno October twenty second from Happy Go More

Speaker 1 (20:02):
He's ten to be.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
I bet we have a smorgas board of games out
even though we don't have the vikings this week.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Right Sunday, we'll probably do a double header action. I
can't imagine the excitement that will be building as we
uh as we get ready for U.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Of NFL. But says team's TBA, So Tubba's playing.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Tuba is playing so to be announced, as we like
to say, we'll see how.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
We will have to trade Kansas City on I think
you're on Sunday Night football.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
On Sunday Night football, waiting all day for Sunday night.
Too bad we don't have Dow Bears A couple of
inside folks there. Sorry, I always love that one. Oh,
I know we were, you know, unless the unless the
local baseball team, which doesn't happen very often anymore, is
is in postseason play.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
I think I don't know about you, Tenna be.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
I I kind of watched with I don't even know,
with the half an eye, you know, I glanced at
scores and such like that.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
But I see once again, at least the Yankees have
been eliminated.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
But the Dodgers just they they they Philadelphia, look at
they were gonna even the series at two. They were
up one nothing in the seventh and the Dodgers win.
So Dodgers advance. The Brewers, who were jumped out to
a two games to none lead over the rival Chicago Cubs,
lost to the Cubs, so they're going to a seventh
(21:28):
game or a fifth of the deciding game. And same
thing in Detroit. Detroit and Seattle played today, and that's
Do you remember when when we first built the goose
that laid well what we did build it.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
The Polots kind of helped build it. They gave us
swing the money.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
But when we built the goose that laid the Golden egg,
I remember the very first year. Whether it's pretty good
for that first round of it, but we lost to
the Yankees. Do you remember we were up three to
nothing on c S. Sabathi and like the sixth name,
we literally game one were beating the Yankees and then
the rug got pulled off from under us. I don't
remember who was pitching for us. He got battered and
(22:04):
that was the end of it and we were done.
We lost three in a row. But there's how about
My biggest complaint about the new stadium was, well, you
got to have a roof fund and in this kind
of a climate, because even of summer, it's wonderful to
have an open air stadium.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
But heaven forbid we ever get to postseason play and
people just suck it up, you know, where where heavy
wear a heavy coat and hat.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
I'm not. I was never talking about the comfort of
the fans. I was talking about just baseball's boys to be.
They call them the boys of Summer.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yeah, the boys. And it's the fall Classic, not the
mid winter NHL All Star Game, you know.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
And so you remember seven eight years ago, I think
the Phillies were in the World Series and their home
games were like, first pitch thirty two degrees.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
I mean it was that's not playing baseball, that's not
you know.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
And I know in the fall you're gonna get colder temperatures,
but you know, you should be mid fifties, upper fifties
at first pitch and maybe drop down to upper forties
late in the game. So, but how about the weather
right now? If we were in posting. This weather's just
been spectacular.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Maybe when they built Target Field they saw climate change coming.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Maybe they did well.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yeah, the last couple of years, it seems like we're
more like the Kansas City climate than we are the
Minneapolis climate.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Wolves lost last night, right, did I see that?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Did they lose?
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Did they?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
I think they lost in a squeaker to the New
York Basketball Rangers, I think or New York Knickerbockers. Yeah, Bodega, Well,
I was just scanning, you know, I'll hit refresh every
once in a while when I you know, I'll I
use my handheld computer as a communication device to kind
of keep track of of the local teams when I'm
(23:56):
not watching. And so I looked, and uh, Bodega was
really good. Bodega was It was was rebounding at will.
He was dominating the boards. And I think.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
They lost an overtime.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Yeah, they lost an overtime. It was an overtime loss.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
And so.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
We all went to now in the same play it
Are you okay with that?
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Fine?
Speaker 2 (24:16):
About time?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I don't know where he was a game before. Did
you see the annual General Manager's rankings rankings for which sport?
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (24:25):
NBA.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
I did not was in the Athletic and I hope
I saved it. If not, I'll find it. They did
their apparently there's the anonymous General Manager rankings. I guess
they conduct these every year. I I really wasn't aware
of that, but now I'm not going to be able
to find.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
It because they the only two that really I think,
really mean anything to us is.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Uh, Anthony Edwards was picked up. All the general managers
weighed in the best.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
GM rankings.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
I thought we were ranking the GM. The GM's are
ranking everything else, all sorts of things. Yes, I'm sorry
I should have made that more clear, but you know me,
I'm not very bright. Not only do I have four
years of college eligibility remaining, but two of high school
as well.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Uh. They said that Anthony Edward. Uh, Anthony Edwards aunt
is the best shooting guard in the NBA. He was
right number one.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Yeah, and what was interesting, I think he was last
year as well. I wish I had the story in
from him that SGA and not a shooting garden. Is
he a small forward?
Speaker 1 (25:35):
You're you have to talk to the big ticket about that.
Of course he's not paying a close attention to the league,
as he once did. So I don't know if he
knows that for a fact or not. I thought I
saved the story, did I guess it doesn't really matter
if I save the story or not. I do know that,
but he he it was it was by like twenty
three percent of of of those weighing in on it,
(25:57):
and now it was like forty three. So he's an overwhelmed,
mean choice. You know who was rated the best assistant
coach in elite?
Speaker 5 (26:12):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I did see that. Our guy, our guy?
Speaker 5 (26:14):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Is it Nori in Ori?
Speaker 1 (26:17):
I how you say his name? Nory? He was selected
as the best assistant coach in the National Basketball Association.
And the story, uh, they extrapolated that out to say
he's probably going to get a head coaching job one
of these days.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
But yeah, so you know, you know, it's it's it's well,
so one of them.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
I'm now reading, okay, some of the poll, and I
find this one interesting.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I wish Rosen was in here today.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Okay, if you were starting a franchise today and could
sign any player in the NBA, who would it be?
Eighty three percent picked Victor win Beagnon, and Rosen just scoffed.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Scoffed when I said, would you trade him for would
you trade and for Victor W.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Mignon?
Speaker 2 (26:56):
No, just right, it's not even in the top three.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
And then he said, not in a million years. He
did that, not in a million years. And you know,
here's part of the problem.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
And I love Roseen, we all do. He's got Homer
in him. He loves going to the games, that's his face.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Yeah, he he'll, he'll, he'll make his way to lower
Town every one or Boomtown, wherever the wild or he'll
go there with his daughter once or twice. But he
loves his Wolves basketball. He thinks they're going to be
the number two seed. And so yeah, he loves Anthony
Everertson And who does it? Aunt lives rent free in
my head. That's how much I like him. I allow
him to live in my head without paying me a
red cent. He lives rent free in my head. But
(27:35):
the wembin Yama character is.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
That what the eighteeah starting a franchise today?
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (27:45):
And then so best point Guard in the NBA SGA
got seventy three percent of the vote.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Okay, but then for best.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Shooting Guard in the NBA SGA got tied for third
or seven percent of the vote, Right, so you got both.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Yeah, Well he's kind of he's probably a combo.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Platter kind of guy.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Depends on the combo guard is what he is.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Combo guard.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Yeah, and got seventy percent of the vote with the
best shooting yard in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Yeah, what were some of the others did other than
Norri and and I don't know if we if we
got and did They also make predictions of where, yeah,
the teams would land and they said fourth.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I think Minnesota's fourth in the West. They got three
percent of the vote for second. Okay, how much for
so four points for a first place vote, three points
per second, two places for third, okay, one for fourth.
So for second place, Oklahoma City got ten percent, Denver
got fifty three percent, Houston got twenty three percent, and
then Minnesota along with three others, got three percent. Yeah,
(28:43):
looks like we got a decent amount of third place
votes and fourth place votes.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
So in uh, the people I trust that really know
the NBA, which ESPN's was it n No, he was
doing the hockey game. Somebody did the one where they
didn't they had the Wolves as the eighth seed.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Right, Yes, those kind of like their analytics. Yeah, their
analytics had them as eight.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Then the general managers have the Wolves that at the
four seed rose and you know the authority, the voice
that I trust, he has the Wolves at number two,
and he just knew he couldn't say number one because
that'd be two preposterous as good as goal or not
goingbody as good as Okay See was last year. And
they're bringing back pretty much their entire roster, if I'm
(29:33):
not mistaken. So hard to repeat, we get that, I
understand it. It's it's it's very difficult to do. But
when you bring back a team that that played as
well as Okay Seed did, it's it's hard not to
at least go well, hard to repeat.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
But if anybody's going to you know, of recent vintage,
I would have to say, you'd have to go with
Oklahoma City. Pretty There is another Minnesota player that made
one of these questions, one of these answers on which
one which rookie was the biggest steal at where he
was selected in the draft. Bear is tied for fourth
(30:07):
with US seven percent of the vote. He was drafted
seventeenth overall.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Yeah, I think they're starting to like bear je Jim
Peterson does I do. Rosie wants to see him in
in Iwall season.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
He played last night.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
His numbers another one. Who's the best defensive player in
the NBA? Rudy Gobert tied for second. Rudy goes percent
of the vote. Victor Wenbinyama got eighty percent of the vote.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Let me ask you this about Golbert, and I know
you're not paying a stools attention to the National Basketball
Association as it once did, And it's mostly because you
hate the squeaky shoes on the court. Just drives you insane.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
It is a bad sound. Have you ever thought about
just putting the mute on? Well, you do that noon
to three. You put the mute on my mic. I
know you don't hear much of what I say, but
just put the mute on. I thought Gobert was not
quite as I mean he's been. You know, he's one
(30:58):
defensive player of the Year, like I think four.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
But I thought for some reason he wasn't quite as
good last year. Maybe I'm just misremembering. As Roger Clemens
once said.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
I mean, I still just has some limitations.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yeah, he does have limitations, and a man has got
to know his limitations.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Best defensive team in the NBA. Okay, so you got
eighty three percent of the vote. Your Minnesota Timberls tied
for second with ten percent of the vote them in
the Orlando Magic.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Think about how far though, that is, from eighty to
ten in other words, just like as overwhelming. Well, yeah,
for sure, it's it's and why do you think I
like okay, see so much? You know, and I know
the flopping of SGA and all that, then give me
a break. It's just the way the sport is. You're
never going to get away from that. That's always going
to be soccer and basketball. You're not flopping.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Just the way it works. I don't know what to
tell you, just the way it is. Some things will
ever change.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Yeah, that's exactly right. It passed the law on sixty
four to give those who ain't got a little more,
but it only goes so far.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
So which head coach runs the best offense?
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Our guy was up because Carlisle got fifty three. Chris
Finch tied for second ten percent of the boat. Yeah,
he runs that complicated. I think he runs the the
wishbone or the winged double wing t or something like that.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
It's a great offense.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
As you mentioned, people like it, Mike, and Nori was
the best assistant coach in the NBA with twenty five
percent of the vote. And then which active player will
make the best head coach someday? Tied per second Mike Conley.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Now, I'm glad you found the story because there were
more than two Timberwolves in there.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
There's and there's more that the Timberlves keep showing up.
Which team is the most fun to watch?
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Oh, it's in Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Timber Timbrelves are tied for fourth.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Yeah, a seven percent behind a lot of people a Denver,
Oklahoma City, Indian And then they're tied with Golden State.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Think about that.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
They got Steph Curry and we're equal in terms of entertainment.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
We're fun, we got Aunt, we got Gobert, we got Barre.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Are we included in anything else?
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Which team will have the league's most efficient offense this season?
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Well?
Speaker 3 (32:54):
The Wolves, Well, Cleveland's at forty percent, okay See at
thirty percent, Denvers at twenty percent. Minnesota is in the
also receiving boats, also receiving boats. Which player is the
most athletic Amen Thompson A Houston. Fifty second is Anthony
(33:14):
Edwards with twenty three percent of the vote.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Was that one again?
Speaker 1 (33:16):
I'm sorry?
Speaker 2 (33:17):
I was looking at which player is the most athletic?
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Oh so Anthony Edwards is the second most athletic player
in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
And who's number one? Something called Amen Thompson? Yeah, well,
you know what, who do you think would win in
an arm wrestling contest? Barrel Jay?
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Last night Tenneby he he played nineteen minutes, He had
three rebounds and two points.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Sounds like he should be playing in the in the
D League down in Iowa.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
That's not a bad start for the kid. Three boards,
two points. They played Dillingham And who's the other guy?
We want to see you get a lot of times, Shannon?
They both played a lot.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Dillingham played twenty two minutes. He had ten point.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Five assists, two boards, that's in fifty little twenty two minutes.
And then how about Shannon. He had eleven points, one
assist and eight rebounds. So yeah, so both those guys
got some significant playing time. Mean they're going to need
to because they're gonna count on them, you know, So
maybe our Winter Sports teams tennebe will be.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Do you like parades? I do? Has there ever been
a dual parade? Has long?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Let me ask you, Quesse if you if you know
this has Has one city ever had the NBA and
NHL champions in one year I've been I.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
Would assume it's happened once. I don't know, like maybe
like the Boston Bruins and Celtics at the time.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Probably or well, the Rangers haven't won a Stanley Cup
in about forty fifty years, so I don't think it's
New York. Of course the Islanders, but the Knickerbocker's haven't
won in thirty years.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
I let's think it's never happened.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
It's never happened before.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
The examples of close calls, Boston had both the Celtics
and Bruins in the finals in nineteen fifty seven eighteen
fifty eight. New York had the Knicks and Rangers in
the finals in nineteen seventy two and nineteen ninety four.
The nineteen ninety four instance was particularly close, but the
Rangers winning the Stanley Cup the day after the Knicks
tied the NBA Finals series, but the Knicks went on
to lose in the series in Game seven, and then
(35:22):
Philadelphia saw both the seventy six Ers and Flyers reached
their finals in nineteen eighty, though only the seventy six
Ers won their title.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Yeah, so it's never happened before.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
Twenty twenty four, the Dallas Mavericks and Dallas Stars both
made it to the Western Conference Finals.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
You can use this the next time the ten of
Fitzgerald set sail, set sail.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
You can use this.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Write this down because you might.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Have set in sales six days from now.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
When you set sale. There's a first time for everything.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
What if it's it?
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Would we be the most unlikeliest of cities with our
awful I mean.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Well, I mean we're due. We're due, We're overdue.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
As a matter of fact, this is the kind of
thing where if our sports teams were pregnant women in
that overdue, they would just they would they would they
would induce labor, they would just say it was time.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
We got the Roulett wheels hit red like one hundred
and fifty times in a row.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Yeah, it's due to hit block. Eventually, I got some
I got some murmurings of laughter from the live studio
audience from that, and I wasn't really listening. I was
just waiting to talk. Do you think we'll have a
bigger audience here?
Speaker 1 (36:25):
Three or tomorrow at Max's on the Green and Spicer
We're up to Proud wennounce over one hundred and twenty five.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Tickets, So we're just starting to spread.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
I tell every club owner that hires us, they start
to panic when they go, We're like three days out,
we got ten people, and I go we sell late
because what happens is they it's they go, they look
for better things, better things to do, and then they
finally go or they have to convince their wife no really.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
You know those guys listen to the radio, they're they're
coming to town to do.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
They're like, well, wait a minute, now, I don't even
like them on the radio, and you want me to
go with you to a club and pay money to
watch them talk. I think that's part of the problem,
is convincing there.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Well, I think part of part of that too, because
I'm very familiar with that, that aspect of it, and
we can talk about with little b as well. Like
let's say you go Tennebe, do you want to golf
with me Thursday?
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (37:20):
And I've got like six days in advance. Yeah, I
wait until the day where my wife's in the best
mood and just liking me most before I ask. Right,
So if in the first three days I'm not getting
a great vibe from her, I don't ask her.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
Then No, that's exactly.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
You got to wait and wait and wait until you
find the right time.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Yeah, you have to wait for the chiman. Now, are
you also a believer in the it's better to say
you're sorry than ask for permission. In other words, you
just go play with me right when we get down
on the air, ask forgiveness and time.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Yeah, that's what it is. Yeah, and you just go, oh,
I thought, I I thought I I thought we talked
about it. I thought you did. I forget to do that. Yeah,
I could have sworn George, I'm sorry baby today.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Yeah, that's kind of how it works me as well.
So Yeah, anyway, we won five nothing, we're on pace.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
This is so much fun, you know.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Matter of fact, what we should do is really enjoy
it now because it could we could lose an x
five I expose, right, I mean that's the way, you
know what.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
We're not gonna lose any more games. Somebody said, and
I didn't, I know, work, I shouldn't admit this.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Working on the all sports radio station, did come and
see how Philly lost the series of the Dodgers last night?
Speaker 2 (38:30):
How did they lose?
Speaker 3 (38:31):
Do you know?
Speaker 1 (38:32):
I know they were up one nothing, it was late
in the game, and then it was two to one.
What could have happened?
Speaker 3 (38:38):
I had hockey practice and then I watched the wild
so I did not get a chance to see you
else what happened?
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Winning actor Indians?
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Right?
Speaker 1 (38:45):
And then the Hayes kid went back to the pitcher
and over through the picture.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
No, over the catcher and over through the catcher.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
The game is over all. That'll haunt him forever.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
That's over through the catcher. Yeah, it sounds like it
is that amazing.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
You know, pictures at that level could basically throw a
hundred strikes in a row. If you have to throw
a first base or the catcher, thatll of a sudden
the freak out, especially.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
When there's much pressure, when when the season's on the line.
Some guys can handle the pressure. Some guys I can't.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
I mean, you had that. That's a bad one, the worst,
probably of all time.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
That was the Bill Buckner went right, you know, playing
Boston and the Mets in the World Series, and it
went right through Buckner's Buckner's legs at first base.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
I mean, that's about as bad as you can get.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Well, we had.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Last season Ravens tight end. Didn't he drop what would be?
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Yeah, that was just awful too. And then Jackie Smith,
first female tight end in the history of pro football
for the Cardinals.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
Dropped the pass. He was in the end zone. He
was on his knees and the ball came right into
his gut.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
And he dropped the ball. And I think that would
have won the game for him as well.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
So I have to watch the highlight of this. Yeah,
a base of loading. Okay, right back to the picture. Well,
I see he kind of he double clutched. Well it
kind of like hit his foot, so he didn't he
he didn't feel it cleanly, so then he was trying
to pick it up and then I felt the rushed.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
But that was one of the worst throws I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
He just it was like hockey throwing out the first
pitch in a Twins game, right, Yeah, yeah, just terrible.
Now that'll happen. Now, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Okay, let's do this. We we effectively, literally and figuratively killed.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
That last segment. I mean there's no life left in it.
It's just dead, cold, dead rigamortois laden segment. That's cool too,
because well we'll pick up the pace. Li'll be the
feminine touch of the program. She joins us next right
here on the fan
So there was a I think it was even yesterday
where all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it
looks as though they're here to stay. Your second favorite
Beatle song behind Letting Be. I learned that started, and
I learned a lot about you. I think yesterday I
made the statement it is probably going to be nominated
for Paposteros statement. I said that you are the foremost
(00:21):
hockey expert in the Twin Cities, as far as as
far as I'm concerned, You trump Louis, You trump Russo,
You trump Walls. You trump If liber talks hockey, that
means Rosen must too. But right, you trump Libro's. And
then I asked you yesterday you know about the Wild
and you said, well, maybe a fringe playoffs.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
No fringe playoff team. Sure looked like a fringe playoff
team last night. I was lying. Today I'm telling the truth.
It was a do you want to apologize to the
Wild for maybe a little early for that?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Oh well no, come on, now, I'll get on the
vand wagon, don't.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Does he encouraging last name? What encouraging?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Caprice off is on pace to have two hundred and
eighty three points, is that the number.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
What's three times eighty two.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Two forty two forty six?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Keys on pace for two hundred and forty six, But
you can't argue with the math. We're on pace to
go eighty two and er and outscore the opposition. What's
five nothing times eighty two? What's eighty three times five
over four hundred?
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Yeah, and you were telling me you were come in
s wrap around and keep our fingers crossed and hope
we hope we make the playoffs and we.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Can build this thing together.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Stand is wrong forever, nothing's gone to stop.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I thought we were ready get a little Nothing's going
to stop it. What was that diddy you did on
the montage?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I never played that one before. What was kind of
it's kind of a kid's song. It was in the
last fifteen years ago. We're trying to get younger. It's
good feeling by flow right? Oh, by flow right?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
You know we talk of the other day.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
We were talking about bands that were named after cities
or states. How about the individual flow Rider is named
after Florida. Yeah, he just doesn't know how to pronounce it.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
So flow right And what was the aim of that one?
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Again?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Good feeling good feeling well, I'll.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Tell you what. We're feeling pretty good after that. A
couple of the old standbys, was it was it Hartman?
And who's our netminder, Gusts gustav Sin? Is it Gusta
or Goose? All I know is he pitches a shutout
and you weren't doubting that contract extension a little bit work. Yeah,
(02:38):
last night was as good as I seen him. Look
he was completely in control. Yeah he was. The stick
was his brush, the puck was his paint, and the
ice was a cream canvas. I mean, he was just
simply brilliant last night. And I didn't see a minute
(02:59):
of it. But I don't need It's yes a Tererk approach.
I just look at it's five to nothing power play.
First power play. They got on the first power play
though no shots, no goals tender the second. First power
play was awful, right, but they where they took no shots.
If you do not shoot, you do nothing.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Well, the problems they couldn't get into the offensive zone.
So it's hard to shoot if you don't get into
the offensive I.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Think did they score in the second or third power play?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I don't remember which what it was, but it was
the the Eric's and neck tappened and they.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Took a shot. So that's what works. Yeah, I've got
a great hockey right. If you do not shoot the puck,
you cannot score else. It's like in boxing. If I
hit my opponent more times than he hits me, I
will win the fight tonight.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
It's as simple as that.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
I will say two of the goals scored last night.
If you are in the shoot Shoot Shoot camp, yes,
then last night was a good night for you to
back up your argument. Yes, because the ericson neckle Boldie
shot that thing. It was off of face off win.
He shot that from basically just inside the booeline by
the boards, which is one of the worst shots you
could have. But what boldly recognized was we have them
(04:06):
out number two to one in front of the crease.
I just want to get the puck there that Capriceof
deflects it, Eric Sinek puts it in. And then the
Rossi goal, which is the fifth goal. That was another
play where Caprisof was shooting from a very similar area.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
He just turned around and shot it.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
From really far out from a bad angle, and Rossi
found himself all alone out in front of the slot
for the rebound.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Shooting a seventy four unlike.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Let me read that again, I'm having shooting a seventy four,
having an experience that's not unlike that of a PGA
tour player, birth of his children. The last night's wild
game Tennaby's best days of his life?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Would you rank that wild season opening victory?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Five?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Love the Complete dominance has one of the best days
in your life.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
It's hard, it's hard not to write. And if I
was a hockey guy, would be two Dylan from Cities
ninety seven, right, not Dylan from traffic, Dyl dealing from
Cities in eighty seven. He's a sports sports, sports guy too,
and he loves baseball. So but the other day, just now,
he said, how about that wild I go, yeah, I
saw that they won. And then he said, pretty good
(05:12):
on I go, if you like hockey, I just always
take the wind out of sales because he wants to
really get pumped up. Yeah about all the local teams,
And I just always you know what, it's wet blanket
Wednesday on a Friday. It's I can't help myself.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Next time you see Dylan and you walk by him
in the Hallway. I've I've observed something with him. Whatever
day of the week it is, Yeah, he will say
happy end of the day of the week. Is that's
his introduction. Yeah, that's exactly where we walking by. He
was like, happy Friday.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
And when he says happy Friday, and I say, every
day is a Friday to me, I'm just a wet
blanket guy. Every day is a Friday to me, because
it really is.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
You know it is said that for you.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Well, that's true. And you know what's really nice about
this wild win because we didn't have to spin the
wheel at time because I didn't I started out.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Really, it's just kind of some days you just it gets.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Away from you.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I shot in eighty four at Preusswick, but you know
what wasn't going to be I was consistent forty two,
forty two certainly not as consistent as the while. Yeah,
good for them. So they're one and oh one pace
to be eighty two and oh you know, now who
do they play next?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
They got Columbus at home tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Did Columbus winner lose their open or have they not
played yet?
Speaker 3 (06:16):
I'm sure they've played. I have not been tracking my
Columbus Bluejackets hockey up until this point. Can you take
a quick look, let me check out the standings.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Yeah, they can look at the standings.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Looks like they lost regulation. So one team's one to
oh the other zone one.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Somebody's oh, it's got to I guess it really doesn't
have to because they can. They can do shootout tois
can you actually get is there actually anything such thing as.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
As a tie anymore in hockey? Or is there no
no chance of that? No, there's no chance to get
That's where they go to the shootout.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
And they just keep doing the shootout over and over,
so it technically a shootout could last four hours. I know,
I know that would never happen, but technically it could,
right if they just kept.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
More school score score a score score, So okay, well,
then Columbus lost in Nashville two to one. Tomorrow is
a battle of the two teams that are having twenty
five year anniversaries because they both came in as expansion
of franchises together twenty five years ago.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Do they have more glory years than we do?
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Because the Wild Oh wait a minute, we've not had
a glory year or we had.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
One, compared to the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
We have.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
We've been in the playoffs much more often than they have.
But I'm just about a glory year. I mean, the
only glory year we had, I would say, would be
we got to the Western Conference for just making the playoffs,
isn't it. Then the Wild have one glory year. I
would think the Bluejackets have zero.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
They have zero, They've never I why did I think
not long ago they had a really good club and
made a push. I must be confusing them with another
Blue Jackets club or another Columbus team, maybe Ohio State,
because they're always really good.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
We'll take a break, we'll come back peak at the Purple.
There's not much to peak at. They're not even in town.
There's not I think the new Winter Park aka Twin
Cities Orthopedic Performance.

Set of thing.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
My guess is it's a ghost town over there, much
like this radio station is.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
There's nobody around. But we'll do that nonetheless on the
other side of the break.

Cool? Yeah? Yeah, okay, bikers are on a buy and
there's peak at the Purple brought to you by Affordable
dash Electric dot Com.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Do you have anything Viking related that you think is
of interest other than.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I'm you know, look, we can I've been told by
the corner's office football always wins, particularly Vikings, So you
just talk Vikings and football. You can talk about every
segment three hundred and sixty five days year and people
love it. I'm so I'm already getting a little quarterback
controversy talked out. You know, I don't know what else
I can add to it other than I'd love to
see McCarthy b our quarterback for the next ten, twelve,
(12:56):
fifteen years. But I'm willing to ride once, you know,
I think he'll play and this Eagles club is starting
to fall apart like a cheap suit. That's two losses
in a row. Though, did you know, Tenneby, they took
my advice and they ran the tush push four plays
in a row. They never stopped, they just ran it.
And when I brought up that they should run the
play every every play, you and Roseen mocked me. Well,
they didn't run for every play, just four. But they
(13:16):
didn't run four times a row. But they lost to
the and I, again, I did not catch any of that.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
There was so much going on last night. I decided
to opt for good.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I don't like to be you know by, I don't
like to hurt the feelings of any of the local teams,
or any of the sports teams for that matter. So
I opted for Gilligan's Island last night. But the Eagles loss.
That's two in a row. And now we're going to
get the stories what's wrong with the Eagles too? The
Eagles be fixed, and I don't know it's this is
the way the National Football League works, tend to be,
and I think they like it this way. And you know,
quite frankly, I did to I like on any given Sunday.
(13:46):
I like when there's this what do we call it?
What's the word we use?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Parody?
Speaker 1 (13:50):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
It's it's I think it's enjoyable. From week to week.
You just don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
You see these teams get out. I think this is
the first time since I remember what year it was,
but it's been it's been a number of years. I
think like five, six, maybe seven or eight that through
six weeks, we've not had an undefeated team in the NFL.
That that for for years now, We've always had at
least one renfeated team.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Now there are no there.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Every every team has at least one loss, which is
kind of fun. And then you watch these teams that
get all like the Eagles.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Got off to another fine start the season, right, they
looked like they were picking up where they left off.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
They're beating good teams, yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Beating good teams. And then now they lose to in
a row and the the Dark Kid and now again
I don't know if you watching it. I look at
the numbers that I saw in the reports I read
it sounded like he's like a combination of uh, Phil Simms,
Danny DeVito and who's the uh, Who's Joepisarchick.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
I mean he's got some talent, right Hosteler, Jeff hostel
that's what us say. What Jopasarchik too. I like Danny
DeVito as a quarterback.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yes, well he was, he is he still the league.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
He struggled to see over the line a little bit short.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
It's hard to see where he's going. So anyway, hard to.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
See over the line.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
When I did not watch the game last night, though
I did see the photograph of Brian Dable, their head coach,
peeking into the blue tents because apparently Jackson Dart was
in a concussion protocol. And funny he peaked his peeked
into the tent and he was able to go after that.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Oh isn't that funny? I've always had that suspicion.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Uh, though I will say this, there have been times
when players have gone into the concussion ten. You're going, well,
they can't pull him out of the game. It's it's
a critical game and he's but they do, they're out.
But I have often wondered if some guys, like they
hold up two fingers and they go, I see four,
your fine, go back and we know we need you
right Yeah, but uh, and I would hope they don't
(15:48):
do that. And you know there's that argument, you know,
I remember, you know a boxer will say, well, I
already put a gun to my head and told me
to get in the ring. If I want to get
in the ring in box, you know, to do the
famous to the late Scott lead when he was stopped
by Larry Holmes in the sub referee.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Stopped to fight. His eye was all swollen.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Scott was annoyed, pissed, wanted the fight to go on
in the in the in the media scrum afterwards, they said,
well the doctor said you could lose an eye, and
then Ledue said, what's an eye?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
When you've given your heart? He was willing to continue
to fight. Now, I still think you.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Somebody has to step in at that point. You can't just,
you know, just because he doesn't mind losing an eye.
I don't think you want to do that. But that's
why I think you do need someone someone say well,
if he wants to keep the steroid.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
People would say the same thing, Well, if he wants
to do steroids, what what businesses and of ours.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Other than it makes an unleveled playing field, you know,
not everybody because not everybody wants to have, you know,
have their head grow the size of of a beach ball.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
And and and they they they don't want the the
there are.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
From what I understand from steroid use, there can be
plenty of of of a bad side effect. Some people
don't want to do that. But yeah, so that you
know Philly, now they don't look so unbeatable anymore. Maybe
roguesmull should start. Let's see what he's got. I mean,
because I think we can beat the Eagles with anybody
at quarterback.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Now, well, that's funny, Like this four game stretch we
have coming up that we thought was going to be
extremely challenging for the Vikings Philadelphia at Chargers at Detroit
home to Baltimore. I'm not gonna act like that's an
easy four game stretch, but Philadelphia doesn't look as unbeatable
as they once were. The Chargers of lost two in
(17:26):
a row, including to the same Giants team the Eagles
lost here last night. Now Detroit looks good, but Baltimore
depending on the health of LaVar Jackson at the time,
and he's not going right now. But even if he
does play, their defense isn't playing very well. So now
the Vikings in their current state, I think can kind
of lose to anybody. They're not good enough to just
(17:47):
assume they can beat mediocre teams, but a stretch that
maybe I thought, Man, we're gonna be zering for one
and three at best. Now maybe you can scrounge out
a two and two or maybe even a three and
one out of that.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
And even with Detroit they are playing well in the ranking.
Nemorls again, you heard Chuck Ettele, and he's right. Their
secondary is a Messgan the four guys they starid that
two of the cornerbacks are gone, and I think a
backup is gone, so they are now Their secondary is
made up of the same kind of pieces as the
Vikings offensive line, in other words, second.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
And third stringer.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
So the lines could struggle there and we'll see how
it goes. They play Kansas City on Sunday night. But
you're right, and that is I guess that's the beauty
in the Bay and the league. Your team can look
unbeatable for a while, then they lose a couple of games,
lose a couple of players, and then they're just in
the middle of the pack.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
I'm not Green Bay, you know. What I mean, mid
middle of the pack kind of a club.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
And then you can be like the the You know,
some teams like the Giants were given up for debt
and probably should be right.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Well, now they've just won two games against Chargers and Eagles,
and they're now two and three or two and four,
whatever they are.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
I'm not and I'm not trying to say, you know,
they should start planning a ticker tape rate in the Giants.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
But the Giants sure do look a lot better than
they did a few weeks, so it changes pretty quick.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Peek at the purple brought to buy our friends at

I was gonna say more controversial bikerss to say I
have nothing. But we'll get to the top of the
hour and then a little be with the feminine touch
right here on the fan.

I bet we have a smorgas board of games out
even though we don't have the vikings this week.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Right Sunday, we'll probably do a double header action. I
can't imagine the excitement that will be building as we
uh as we get ready for U.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Of NFL. But says team's TBA, So Tubba's playing.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Tuba is playing so to be announced, as we like
to say, we'll see how.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
We will have to trade Kansas City on I think
you're on Sunday Night football.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
On Sunday Night football, waiting all day for Sunday night.
Too bad we don't have Dow Bears A couple of
inside folks there. Sorry, I always love that one. Oh,
I know we were, you know, unless the unless the
local baseball team, which doesn't happen very often anymore, is
is in postseason play.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
I think I don't know about you, Tenna be.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
I I kind of watched with I don't even know,
with the half an eye, you know, I glanced at
scores and such like that.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
But I see once again, at least the Yankees have
been eliminated.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
But the Dodgers just they they they Philadelphia, look at
they were gonna even the series at two. They were
up one nothing in the seventh and the Dodgers win.
So Dodgers advance. The Brewers, who were jumped out to
a two games to none lead over the rival Chicago Cubs,
lost to the Cubs, so they're going to a seventh
(21:28):
game or a fifth of the deciding game. And same
thing in Detroit. Detroit and Seattle played today, and that's
Do you remember when when we first built the goose
that laid well what we did build it.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
The Polots kind of helped build it. They gave us
swing the money.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
But when we built the goose that laid the Golden egg,
I remember the very first year. Whether it's pretty good
for that first round of it, but we lost to
the Yankees. Do you remember we were up three to
nothing on c S. Sabathi and like the sixth name,
we literally game one were beating the Yankees and then
the rug got pulled off from under us. I don't
remember who was pitching for us. He got battered and
(22:04):
that was the end of it and we were done.
We lost three in a row. But there's how about
My biggest complaint about the new stadium was, well, you
got to have a roof fund and in this kind
of a climate, because even of summer, it's wonderful to
have an open air stadium.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
But heaven forbid we ever get to postseason play and
people just suck it up, you know, where where heavy
wear a heavy coat and hat.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
I'm not. I was never talking about the comfort of
the fans. I was talking about just baseball's boys to be.
They call them the boys of Summer.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yeah, the boys. And it's the fall Classic, not the
mid winter NHL All Star Game, you know.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
And so you remember seven eight years ago, I think
the Phillies were in the World Series and their home
games were like, first pitch thirty two degrees.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
I mean it was that's not playing baseball, that's not
you know.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
And I know in the fall you're gonna get colder temperatures,
but you know, you should be mid fifties, upper fifties
at first pitch and maybe drop down to upper forties
late in the game. So, but how about the weather
right now? If we were in posting. This weather's just
been spectacular.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Maybe when they built Target Field they saw climate change coming.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Maybe they did well.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yeah, the last couple of years, it seems like we're
more like the Kansas City climate than we are the
Minneapolis climate.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Wolves lost last night, right, did I see that?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Did they lose?
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Did they?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
I think they lost in a squeaker to the New
York Basketball Rangers, I think or New York Knickerbockers. Yeah, Bodega, Well,
I was just scanning, you know, I'll hit refresh every
once in a while when I you know, I'll I
use my handheld computer as a communication device to kind
of keep track of of the local teams when I'm
(23:56):
not watching. And so I looked, and uh, Bodega was
really good. Bodega was It was was rebounding at will.
He was dominating the boards. And I think.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
They lost an overtime.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Yeah, they lost an overtime. It was an overtime loss.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
And so.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
We all went to now in the same play it
Are you okay with that?
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Fine?
Speaker 2 (24:16):
About time?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I don't know where he was a game before. Did
you see the annual General Manager's rankings rankings for which sport?
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (24:25):
NBA.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
I did not was in the Athletic and I hope
I saved it. If not, I'll find it. They did
their apparently there's the anonymous General Manager rankings. I guess
they conduct these every year. I I really wasn't aware
of that, but now I'm not going to be able
to find.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
It because they the only two that really I think,
really mean anything to us is.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Uh, Anthony Edwards was picked up. All the general managers
weighed in the best.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
GM rankings.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
I thought we were ranking the GM. The GM's are
ranking everything else, all sorts of things. Yes, I'm sorry
I should have made that more clear, but you know me,
I'm not very bright. Not only do I have four
years of college eligibility remaining, but two of high school
as well.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Uh. They said that Anthony Edward. Uh, Anthony Edwards aunt
is the best shooting guard in the NBA. He was
right number one.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Yeah, and what was interesting, I think he was last
year as well. I wish I had the story in
from him that SGA and not a shooting garden. Is
he a small forward?
Speaker 1 (25:35):
You're you have to talk to the big ticket about that.
Of course he's not paying a close attention to the league,
as he once did. So I don't know if he
knows that for a fact or not. I thought I
saved the story, did I guess it doesn't really matter
if I save the story or not. I do know that,
but he he it was it was by like twenty
three percent of of of those weighing in on it,
(25:57):
and now it was like forty three. So he's an overwhelmed,
mean choice. You know who was rated the best assistant
coach in elite?
Speaker 5 (26:12):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I did see that. Our guy, our guy?
Speaker 5 (26:14):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Is it Nori in Ori?
Speaker 1 (26:17):
I how you say his name? Nory? He was selected
as the best assistant coach in the National Basketball Association.
And the story, uh, they extrapolated that out to say
he's probably going to get a head coaching job one
of these days.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
But yeah, so you know, you know, it's it's it's well,
so one of them.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
I'm now reading, okay, some of the poll, and I
find this one interesting.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I wish Rosen was in here today.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Okay, if you were starting a franchise today and could
sign any player in the NBA, who would it be?
Eighty three percent picked Victor win Beagnon, and Rosen just scoffed.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Scoffed when I said, would you trade him for would
you trade and for Victor W.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Mignon?
Speaker 2 (26:56):
No, just right, it's not even in the top three.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
And then he said, not in a million years. He
did that, not in a million years. And you know,
here's part of the problem.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
And I love Roseen, we all do. He's got Homer
in him. He loves going to the games, that's his face.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Yeah, he he'll, he'll, he'll make his way to lower
Town every one or Boomtown, wherever the wild or he'll
go there with his daughter once or twice. But he
loves his Wolves basketball. He thinks they're going to be
the number two seed. And so yeah, he loves Anthony
Everertson And who does it? Aunt lives rent free in
my head. That's how much I like him. I allow
him to live in my head without paying me a
red cent. He lives rent free in my head. But
(27:35):
the wembin Yama character is.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
That what the eighteeah starting a franchise today?
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (27:45):
And then so best point Guard in the NBA SGA
got seventy three percent of the vote.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Okay, but then for best.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Shooting Guard in the NBA SGA got tied for third
or seven percent of the vote, Right, so you got both.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Yeah, Well he's kind of he's probably a combo.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Platter kind of guy.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Depends on the combo guard is what he is.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Combo guard.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Yeah, and got seventy percent of the vote with the
best shooting yard in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Yeah, what were some of the others did other than
Norri and and I don't know if we if we
got and did They also make predictions of where, yeah,
the teams would land and they said fourth.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I think Minnesota's fourth in the West. They got three
percent of the vote for second. Okay, how much for
so four points for a first place vote, three points
per second, two places for third, okay, one for fourth.
So for second place, Oklahoma City got ten percent, Denver
got fifty three percent, Houston got twenty three percent, and
then Minnesota along with three others, got three percent. Yeah,
(28:43):
looks like we got a decent amount of third place
votes and fourth place votes.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
So in uh, the people I trust that really know
the NBA, which ESPN's was it n No, he was
doing the hockey game. Somebody did the one where they
didn't they had the Wolves as the eighth seed.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Right, Yes, those kind of like their analytics. Yeah, their
analytics had them as eight.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Then the general managers have the Wolves that at the
four seed rose and you know the authority, the voice
that I trust, he has the Wolves at number two,
and he just knew he couldn't say number one because
that'd be two preposterous as good as goal or not
goingbody as good as Okay See was last year. And
they're bringing back pretty much their entire roster, if I'm
(29:33):
not mistaken. So hard to repeat, we get that, I
understand it. It's it's it's very difficult to do. But
when you bring back a team that that played as
well as Okay Seed did, it's it's hard not to
at least go well, hard to repeat.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
But if anybody's going to you know, of recent vintage,
I would have to say, you'd have to go with
Oklahoma City. Pretty There is another Minnesota player that made
one of these questions, one of these answers on which
one which rookie was the biggest steal at where he
was selected in the draft. Bear is tied for fourth
(30:07):
with US seven percent of the vote. He was drafted
seventeenth overall.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Yeah, I think they're starting to like bear je Jim
Peterson does I do. Rosie wants to see him in
in Iwall season.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
He played last night.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
His numbers another one. Who's the best defensive player in
the NBA? Rudy Gobert tied for second. Rudy goes percent
of the vote. Victor Wenbinyama got eighty percent of the vote.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Let me ask you this about Golbert, and I know
you're not paying a stools attention to the National Basketball
Association as it once did, And it's mostly because you
hate the squeaky shoes on the court. Just drives you insane.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
It is a bad sound. Have you ever thought about
just putting the mute on? Well, you do that noon
to three. You put the mute on my mic. I
know you don't hear much of what I say, but
just put the mute on. I thought Gobert was not
quite as I mean he's been. You know, he's one
(30:58):
defensive player of the Year, like I think four.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
But I thought for some reason he wasn't quite as
good last year. Maybe I'm just misremembering. As Roger Clemens
once said.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
I mean, I still just has some limitations.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yeah, he does have limitations, and a man has got
to know his limitations.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Best defensive team in the NBA. Okay, so you got
eighty three percent of the vote. Your Minnesota Timberls tied
for second with ten percent of the vote them in
the Orlando Magic.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Think about how far though, that is, from eighty to
ten in other words, just like as overwhelming. Well, yeah,
for sure, it's it's and why do you think I
like okay, see so much? You know, and I know
the flopping of SGA and all that, then give me
a break. It's just the way the sport is. You're
never going to get away from that. That's always going
to be soccer and basketball. You're not flopping.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Just the way it works. I don't know what to
tell you, just the way it is. Some things will
ever change.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Yeah, that's exactly right. It passed the law on sixty
four to give those who ain't got a little more,
but it only goes so far.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
So which head coach runs the best offense?
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Our guy was up because Carlisle got fifty three. Chris
Finch tied for second ten percent of the boat. Yeah,
he runs that complicated. I think he runs the the
wishbone or the winged double wing t or something like that.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
It's a great offense.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
As you mentioned, people like it, Mike, and Nori was
the best assistant coach in the NBA with twenty five
percent of the vote. And then which active player will
make the best head coach someday? Tied per second Mike Conley.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Now, I'm glad you found the story because there were
more than two Timberwolves in there.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
There's and there's more that the Timberlves keep showing up.
Which team is the most fun to watch?
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Oh, it's in Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Timber Timbrelves are tied for fourth.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Yeah, a seven percent behind a lot of people a Denver,
Oklahoma City, Indian And then they're tied with Golden State.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Think about that.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
They got Steph Curry and we're equal in terms of entertainment.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
We're fun, we got Aunt, we got Gobert, we got Barre.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Are we included in anything else?
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Which team will have the league's most efficient offense this season?
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Well?
Speaker 3 (32:54):
The Wolves, Well, Cleveland's at forty percent, okay See at
thirty percent, Denvers at twenty percent. Minnesota is in the
also receiving boats, also receiving boats. Which player is the
most athletic Amen Thompson A Houston. Fifty second is Anthony
(33:14):
Edwards with twenty three percent of the vote.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Was that one again?
Speaker 1 (33:16):
I'm sorry?
Speaker 2 (33:17):
I was looking at which player is the most athletic?
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Oh so Anthony Edwards is the second most athletic player
in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
And who's number one? Something called Amen Thompson? Yeah, well,
you know what, who do you think would win in
an arm wrestling contest? Barrel Jay?
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Last night Tenneby he he played nineteen minutes, He had
three rebounds and two points.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Sounds like he should be playing in the in the
D League down in Iowa.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
That's not a bad start for the kid. Three boards,
two points. They played Dillingham And who's the other guy?
We want to see you get a lot of times, Shannon?
They both played a lot.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Dillingham played twenty two minutes. He had ten point.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Five assists, two boards, that's in fifty little twenty two minutes.
And then how about Shannon. He had eleven points, one
assist and eight rebounds. So yeah, so both those guys
got some significant playing time. Mean they're going to need
to because they're gonna count on them, you know, So
maybe our Winter Sports teams tennebe will be.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Do you like parades? I do? Has there ever been
a dual parade? Has long?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Let me ask you, Quesse if you if you know
this has Has one city ever had the NBA and
NHL champions in one year I've been I.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
Would assume it's happened once. I don't know, like maybe
like the Boston Bruins and Celtics at the time.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Probably or well, the Rangers haven't won a Stanley Cup
in about forty fifty years, so I don't think it's
New York. Of course the Islanders, but the Knickerbocker's haven't
won in thirty years.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
I let's think it's never happened.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
It's never happened before.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
The examples of close calls, Boston had both the Celtics
and Bruins in the finals in nineteen fifty seven eighteen
fifty eight. New York had the Knicks and Rangers in
the finals in nineteen seventy two and nineteen ninety four.
The nineteen ninety four instance was particularly close, but the
Rangers winning the Stanley Cup the day after the Knicks
tied the NBA Finals series, but the Knicks went on
to lose in the series in Game seven, and then
(35:22):
Philadelphia saw both the seventy six Ers and Flyers reached
their finals in nineteen eighty, though only the seventy six
Ers won their title.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Yeah, so it's never happened before.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
Twenty twenty four, the Dallas Mavericks and Dallas Stars both
made it to the Western Conference Finals.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
You can use this the next time the ten of
Fitzgerald set sail, set sail.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
You can use this.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Write this down because you might.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Have set in sales six days from now.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
When you set sale. There's a first time for everything.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
What if it's it?
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Would we be the most unlikeliest of cities with our
awful I mean.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Well, I mean we're due. We're due, We're overdue.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
As a matter of fact, this is the kind of
thing where if our sports teams were pregnant women in
that overdue, they would just they would they would they
would induce labor, they would just say it was time.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
We got the Roulett wheels hit red like one hundred
and fifty times in a row.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Yeah, it's due to hit block. Eventually, I got some
I got some murmurings of laughter from the live studio
audience from that, and I wasn't really listening. I was
just waiting to talk. Do you think we'll have a
bigger audience here?
Speaker 1 (36:25):
Three or tomorrow at Max's on the Green and Spicer
We're up to Proud wennounce over one hundred and twenty five.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Tickets, So we're just starting to spread.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
I tell every club owner that hires us, they start
to panic when they go, We're like three days out,
we got ten people, and I go we sell late
because what happens is they it's they go, they look
for better things, better things to do, and then they
finally go or they have to convince their wife no really.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
You know those guys listen to the radio, they're they're
coming to town to do.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
They're like, well, wait a minute, now, I don't even
like them on the radio, and you want me to
go with you to a club and pay money to
watch them talk. I think that's part of the problem,
is convincing there.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Well, I think part of part of that too, because
I'm very familiar with that, that aspect of it, and
we can talk about with little b as well. Like
let's say you go Tennebe, do you want to golf
with me Thursday?
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (37:20):
And I've got like six days in advance. Yeah, I
wait until the day where my wife's in the best
mood and just liking me most before I ask. Right,
So if in the first three days I'm not getting
a great vibe from her, I don't ask her.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
Then No, that's exactly.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
You got to wait and wait and wait until you
find the right time.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Yeah, you have to wait for the chiman. Now, are
you also a believer in the it's better to say
you're sorry than ask for permission. In other words, you
just go play with me right when we get down
on the air, ask forgiveness and time.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Yeah, that's what it is. Yeah, and you just go, oh,
I thought, I I thought I I thought we talked
about it. I thought you did. I forget to do that. Yeah,
I could have sworn George, I'm sorry baby today.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Yeah, that's kind of how it works me as well.
So Yeah, anyway, we won five nothing, we're on pace.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
This is so much fun, you know.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Matter of fact, what we should do is really enjoy
it now because it could we could lose an x
five I expose, right, I mean that's the way, you
know what.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
We're not gonna lose any more games. Somebody said, and
I didn't, I know, work, I shouldn't admit this.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Working on the all sports radio station, did come and
see how Philly lost the series of the Dodgers last night?
Speaker 2 (38:30):
How did they lose?
Speaker 3 (38:31):
Do you know?
Speaker 1 (38:32):
I know they were up one nothing, it was late
in the game, and then it was two to one.
What could have happened?
Speaker 3 (38:38):
I had hockey practice and then I watched the wild
so I did not get a chance to see you
else what happened?
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Winning actor Indians?
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Right?
Speaker 1 (38:45):
And then the Hayes kid went back to the pitcher
and over through the picture.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
No, over the catcher and over through the catcher.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
The game is over all. That'll haunt him forever.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
That's over through the catcher. Yeah, it sounds like it
is that amazing.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
You know, pictures at that level could basically throw a
hundred strikes in a row. If you have to throw
a first base or the catcher, thatll of a sudden
the freak out, especially.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
When there's much pressure, when when the season's on the line.
Some guys can handle the pressure. Some guys I can't.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
I mean, you had that. That's a bad one, the worst,
probably of all time.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
That was the Bill Buckner went right, you know, playing
Boston and the Mets in the World Series, and it
went right through Buckner's Buckner's legs at first base.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
I mean, that's about as bad as you can get.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Well, we had.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Last season Ravens tight end. Didn't he drop what would be?
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Yeah, that was just awful too. And then Jackie Smith,
first female tight end in the history of pro football
for the Cardinals.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
Dropped the pass. He was in the end zone. He
was on his knees and the ball came right into
his gut.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
And he dropped the ball. And I think that would
have won the game for him as well.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
So I have to watch the highlight of this. Yeah,
a base of loading. Okay, right back to the picture. Well,
I see he kind of he double clutched. Well it
kind of like hit his foot, so he didn't he
he didn't feel it cleanly, so then he was trying
to pick it up and then I felt the rushed.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
But that was one of the worst throws I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
He just it was like hockey throwing out the first
pitch in a Twins game, right, Yeah, yeah, just terrible.
Now that'll happen. Now, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Okay, let's do this. We we effectively, literally and figuratively killed.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
That last segment. I mean there's no life left in it.
It's just dead, cold, dead rigamortois laden segment. That's cool too,
because well we'll pick up the pace. Li'll be the
feminine touch of the program. She joins us next right
