It's time for common man. Common man, common man, charge

And can what you shoot?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Word replay? That's a nonsense. I'm activate duty man. It's
time for common man.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Why should anybody aspire to be a common man? An
average man? Do you realize what it means to be average?
That means you're the best of the lousiest and the
lousiest of the best. Now, if we demand more and
more for producing less and less while they have not
nations and courage and inspire and indeed require hard work
and maximum effort. If we deify the common man while
(00:55):
they encourage and reward the uncommon ones, well, the end
result of such a lopsided race, as that is too
obvious to require elaboration.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
I mean it's like hello, live by the dog, you
died by the dog.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
If you calling me a coward, you I've done things
that would make the hair on the back of your
neck stand up. Water ladies and gentlemen, we got.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Them genius, idiot ron imba, So what a morris.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Pev I love the common man. Yeah, I love the
common man.

All the time. King coming my panel to my BOOTO
and Tason forgive the commn the rains. He's so richly deserts.
Don't lose him. Don't be standing on the on the
back of the meat. When the ship is out to
see and the common man is on board, you better
get on board. Don't be a crane. And Wanning came
(02:37):
him and keep him. Give him the raise he hurt.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Well done, young man. Sometimes when you practice, you'll set
up chairs the when you run through chairs, just to.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Show so the fighting defense looks like this chair. We
don't go any nice question.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
Welcome back to the spot, like young man.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
He's the clown from Brown, He's the fourth in the north.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
This is the common man, Dan Cole.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Most of that is accurate, not all of it. It
really is the uh ak akadakadaca act to you and yours.
That's your password for Tom Fooler, He's Spaul Dougray. I'm common.
He's tenna be. And this is the worst all sports
radio station in the country, so says a former employee,
who funny was fired from here. I'm a radio dinosaur
(03:43):
and the fan is my libreat tarpet. Someday archaeologists and
paleontologists will sift through the rubble that is sixteen hundred
Udick Avenue South and they will stumble across my skeleton
remains and my cold dead. I know it's not rigor mortis.
What is it fossilize whatever attached to this Norman BCM
one to four microphone. It's not a noyman anymore? To remember?
(04:04):
What is an electrical lux or something? And they'll say,
he gat as a social commentator with an archaic communication device.
We are here until three. Rock Rank Rock Rank is
a part of Rock Talk today. At twelve thirty, I've
not heard from Brian ok have you Tennebee?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Okay, because he'll most always he will text me and
say are we on for today? I've not heard from him,
so maybe he's just bypassing me now and going directly.
Speaker 7 (04:27):
He now wants to know ahead of time what's going
to be on Rock Rank so he can prepare according
Rock Rank Rock Rank.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
So we'll do that at twelve thirty. The legendary one
will join us at two. Prior to that, the head
coach at one twenty is that.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
The one twenty that's schedule time.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
That is a schedule time and being what Wednesday, then Thursday,
Briody Citizen, four days from game time. I don't know
if we'll learn any more about who's going to be
the starting quarterback this week for the soon to be
Big Game World champion Minnesota Vikings. My guess is he
will not tip his hand. He'll say something, the JJ's
making progress. We please with what we see, uh, but
(05:04):
you know we still need his feed and sync with
his eyes and then he'll do the people like to
call it word salad. I I that's never been a
phrase I've been very fond of. But if that's what
people want to call it, I guess we can. I
just call it a lot of mumbo jumbo, is what
it is. I call it a lot of It's like
trying to evade a pass rusher, right he when when
(05:26):
you're when when you're hit with a bevy of questions
and people are trying to get to the bottom, to
the bottom of a I don't know if you want
to call it a controversy, a quarterback controversy, and they
really don't want to say anything because I think maybe
they don't even known't for sure what they want to
do or they don't want to tip their hand at
the other team and all that. But we'll see. We'll
find out that will be at about one twenty or so.
Plenty to get to more Major League Baseball and other
scintillating performance on the mound by the LA Dodgers. They
(05:50):
play baseball the real way you're supposed to play. Of
course they have a lot of money too. That doesn't
hurt your wild club. I don't know what the thing now,
we've been on pace to be fine, I have and
oh or give outscore every team we want a first
game five nothing. So we were on pace to score
eighty two times five hundred and four whatever, how many
four hundred and fifty plus goals a game and not
(06:11):
give any up. We were gonna go eighty two and
oh and now it's it's headed in the other direction
to a certain extent. Also, we've got the Minnesota Timberwolves
will be starting their season soon. So plenty to get to.
I'm not sure where to begin. Let's spend the wheel
of time.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Commons golf. What'd you shoot today?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I didn't even and I just picked up after a while.
It was so bad today I played it the U
of m Lester Bolstad. Where'd you hit it? On one?
He did hit it right after God hit a perfect
drive in the first let's see one? Where was it? Oh?
I still had a waste to go out a hybrid
in my hand. They changed one from what it used
to be. Used to be a straight on par four
now at dog legs right. Oh, I hit a terrible
(07:04):
hybrid and it just crashed into a tree and fell down.
I hit a little right right, I hit a Then
I had to hit a little knockdown. I might as
well be a pitch for I had to hit a
little knockdown. I think I hit a fifty four degree.
I thought it was perfect, but it skittered across the
green and we shot on. But then I buried the
pot My potter was rockside like it's been for ten days,
but it just got away from me. A couple of things.
(07:27):
First of all, the only difference between my uh the
last ten days when I played really well and today
was Brett Blakemore played with me, and so I think
Brett Blakemore is bad luck. So I'm gonna ever what
did Chris Carter say tenneby? Well, he said thirty million
won't get you to the grave? Foo, But what else
did he say?
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I have a fall guy?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
That is correct, and Brett Blakemore is my is my
fall guy. Plus I this is official unofficial ambassador of
Minnesota Golf, a business that I have to take care
of here. I think the way of playing the less
Bolsted at University of Minnesota golf course for the very
last time for me was a little bit too much
(08:08):
to overcome. I was playing with a heavy heart. They're
closing the course after this year. It's over there. They've
decided the the in all their brilliance, the I don't
know if it's the you know, the administration at the U.
I don't know if that's if that's what do they
(08:29):
call the people that run the not alumni? But what's
the word I'm looking for.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
I know who you're talking about. I kill them like regions? Yeah,
regions the border today? Is that the border regions? I
don't know who it is.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
But they've decided they want to sell the golf course
and make and I don't know what they'll get for it.
If it'll be ten million, twenty fifty hundred million, and it's.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Good money, it'll be good change.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
But I've also heard that that property is not as
valuable as people think, just because it's harder to build
on because there's wetlands all over it. There's all sorts
of But I'm sure they'll find some developer that will
go ahead and do that. But in there, in, there,
in all their there, and I guess they have a
dire need for money at the U. I mean everybody does, right,
(09:10):
They've decided that's one way to try to fill the
gaps is to sell the property. Though the golf course
is profitable, it's legendary. It's been around since nineteen twenty nine.
Now I know it's it's it's probably outlived its usefulness
as far as you doesn't play there. I mentioned yesterday
that I thought that you played the tournaments at wind
Song Farm. I had a couple of people tell me
(09:31):
it's the TPC of the Twin City. So I had
it wrong, and I apologize, But I think it was
at wind Song for a while. But it's at the
TPC of the Twin Cities because you know, Bullstad from
the Tips only plays like sixty three hundred yards. It
just doesn't you know it it it does with with
the technology and with everybody hitting for golf clubs and
golf balls, with the kids hitting the ball as far
as they can, they just can't use that golf course anymore.
(09:54):
But it's a nice facility, but it's it's gone, and
you know, I I I wish they I think they should.
You know how many people have graduated from the University
of Minnesota with that degree have parlayed that into a
multi million dollars living. Why don't you go to those
people and have them pony up some money and give
(10:15):
back to the University of Minnesota instead of selling the
golf course. I'm I'm I'm opposed to it. I think
the regents are making a mistake, but there's nothing uh.
I will not rest until you until the University of
Minnesota Board of Regents changes their mind.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
Pivots protest, we could right. They kind of kind of
worked with Hiawatha, did it not?
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Where were they doing the naked protest?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
I saw a story naked protest.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I saw a story the other day somewhere there was
they were somebody was pro some group was protesting something
and they were riding bikes naked. I think it might
have been in Seattle.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I don't know where, but were they protesting clothes?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Much like Mark Rosen said he will not rest until
Jim Marshall is in the Hall of Fame. My guess
is Mark hasn't done anything. They get to Marshall into
the Hall of Fame, but he said he won't rest.
I will not rest until the Board of Regents reverses
their decision. It's more than I can stand. They're closing
(11:18):
less Bullstad. That doesn't rhyme, but rhymes that they're.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Getting more mad. Yeah, making me mad.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
You're really making me mad by closing less Bullstad. Though
it's Bullstead. You can do whatever you want to do,
I guess. But yeah, so I just not play pretty
well and that you know again, it's one of the
round got away with me. I was just kind of
practicing shots because I was thinking, has my game after
ten days of some of the best golf I've ever played,
(11:49):
just disappeared again. I don't think so. I hit some
good shots out there, but nonetheless we laugh, we cry.
So yeah, Lester Bullstad, if you want to play it
one last time or if you've never played it, it's
a fun golf course in terrific shape. I talked with Brent,
the superintendent. He was out there. He told me, he goes.
I thought I was going to retire here, but it's
apparently not going to happen. Eddie Win is your he
(12:11):
runs the place over there, Eddie was. I met Eddie
first over at Stoneridge. He was there for years at
Stoneridge and he moved over to the University of Minnesota.
And yeah, so the there will be a number of
people losing their jobs if that happens. But if you've
never played the course or one, because I think October
thirtieth is it and they're shutting her down and there
will be no more. But you've played less Bullstead, haven't you.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I've played it once or twice.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Yeah, I think maybe you tag it.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Feel like.
Speaker 7 (12:35):
Those types of golf courses. I don't farewell at the way.
It's tight, tree line type golf course.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Three line tight. He'llly, yeah, there's it's it's doesn't fit
my game. Yeah, it's only sixty three hundred yards, but
it's tough.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
There's the two roads on the two holes on the
other side of the larpener, and you take the tunnel
underneath the underneath larpenter and you go play ten and eleven,
two great holes. Too bad you got to walk down
a single file. And then they have two holes number
twelve the number fifteen that have the periscopes so that
you look down at him, so that you can see
down the fairwek make sure it's cleared. So it's and
(13:05):
it's the UW of Them's home course for all those years.
Jack Nicholas played there, Tom Layman played there, all the
greats played there over the years. So but it has gone.
So let's do this. Let's take a break. There's plenty
to get to with the purple. I'm gonna I know
this won't be the very If I say this will
been the last time we talk about who should start
at quarterback, people will go, well, that's not true, And
you're right, because we will talk about it again. But
(13:27):
I'm going to read an email and then I'm going
to try to I'm gonna come at it from a
different angle and try to explain to you what I
really think is happening in the inner workings of t
show performance out of the new Minor Park, and it's
the media and the fans have been feeding this. You're
getting what you asked for. I'll explain other side of
(13:49):
the break with Peak at the Purple. But right now,
Tennebee has a keyword for our national cash content.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
The fan and two men in a junk truck want
to give a shot to win Bonus bucks with their
National Cash contest and to the keyword bank accoun fan

Speaker 2 (14:35):
Grade teacher at Adams Elementary School and Crewe Rapids. Mister Kaiser,
I've mentioned him a couple of times. If you'll remember
ten of me, I think it was your son emailed
or called into the radio station, and so that's my
dad you're talk about it. I asked him about you
and told him that you mentioned him on the air
and the red paddle down in the boiler room, you know,
(14:56):
getting swats when you misbehaved, and mister apparently said really
probably deserved it, and I did. And I appreciate mister
Kaiser doing everything he can to instill some discipline in me.
Did work, but he tried. Right, those are the days,
my friend, we thought they'd never ended. My end hurt.
(15:18):
Let me just say that, do you think they're selling
bullstad because they're gearing up for Pj's next contracts And
we've got to come up of money somewhere because.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
You'll get a big fat an extension every year when
it comes to college coaches, because they always have to
say more than the four years on their contracts.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
It's because you know, it's a scale. When you're six
and five and you make a bowl game. A lot
of someone texted me and said, p J. Fleck is
going to get the Penn State job. Why does every
anything p J Fleck is the is the number one
choice for every college football opening.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, it hasn't been that great here.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
No, I like them. He's been solid, but it's not like, yeah,
it's it's it's Penn State and that's and you know what,
I think the coach likes it here, I really do.
I think he does like it here. I think he
likes where he's been, where he's going. Where he's at.
Takes a lot of money, not too much pressure. But
I think if you get a Penn State.
Speaker 7 (16:19):
Off or you go right, that's that's that's a that's
a just financially alone, you can't refuse.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Just happy Valley and it's you know, they've won. I
know they haven't won a Natty in a long When
did they win their last Natty? Was that in mid nineties,
mid eighties. I don't even recall. I thought it was
like ninety five or ninety four that Penn State won
a Natty. I might be way off of that. Maybe
they've never won one. I thought they've won three. I
(16:47):
thought Penn State's won three national championships in one like
in the mid nineties, early to mid nineties.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Just nineteen eighty two and nineteen eighty six.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Eighty six. It was that farce. It was two. So
I was off by one and it was back in
the mid eighties, not the mid nineties, so yeah, a
long time ago, but still a it's a it's a
high profile program. Uh pick at the Purple brought to
our by our friends at Affordable Electric. If you've just
purchased an EV to take advantage of that seventy five
(17:18):
dollars tax break before it expired, you'll need to install
the two hundred and forty one outlet for a level

Electric at an affordable price. They're also looking for help
journeyman electrician and an apprentice electrician. If if you're looking
for the level two charger, looking for work or any
(17:40):
of your electrical needs, I highly recommend Affordable Electric, Affordable
dash Electric dot Com. Affordable dash Electric dot Com. Affordable
Electric is shocking affordable. Yikes. Oh, email Goo Tim, you
(18:00):
have to hit the music. So email from Luke. He
emailed me on Monday to talk about the quarterback controversy
(18:22):
here in Minnesota and not collegiate, not high school, but
the pro level. JJ McCarthy, the ordained franchise quarterback, hand
picked tenth pick overall two years ago by the soon
to be Big Game World Champion Minnesota Vikings at Carson Wentz,
who has replaced him since an injury. And Wentz remember
Wentz was sitting on the couch. Maybe he wasn't honest couch.
(18:44):
He might have a he might have a recliner. He
might be sitting in a love seat. I don't know
where he was sitting when he got the call. But
the Vikings called and said we need to back up
a quarterback, and he signed a deal. And then he's
played three games for the Vikings and he's gone too
and one So he says, I've been listening to your
(19:04):
intenna's arguing about why you favor continue to play Wentz.
Then he goes, well, I think some of your points
have validity. Neither of you have portrayed the McCarthy's side
of the debate very well. Then he goes on to
explain it. And then I texted him back on Tuesday
after I saw this on He sent that Monday. On Tuesday,
I said, doesn't matter what you or I think. The
team is a game out of first place. They're playing
to win, not develop a quarterback, he writes. Then he
(19:26):
responded again, this would be yesterday or later Tuesday. He
said to the point I'm trying to get across is
starting Wentz is not playing to win. Maybe win the
next game, and that's a big maybe, but it's playing
to make the But it's playing to make the playoffs
and then lose. Our media fan base has long been
satisfied with that resultant seems to consider it a successful season.
(19:47):
I might be the minority, but I don't consider that
a successful season. Developing JJ this year and getting a
regular season, hopefully posting his experience is the path that
truly plane to win. I know my take is quite esoteric,
but that's the burden I carry. You don't have the
esoteric approaches. Only a few people do. Luke, I love you,
but but I I employed the esoteric approach. Here's the angle.
(20:12):
I guess I'll come with it, and it tend to
be I think most Vikings fans I think Kevin O'Connell
is a terrific head coach, or at least a good
head coach. Right, I think most people I know you do. Yes,
you think he might be the Deid Andy Reid might
be the best quarterback one. Don't you think one of
the best quarterbacks in pro football? One of one of
(20:37):
the reasons he's so highly regarded is because he is
a so called he's been proclaimed a quarterback whisperer.
Speaker 7 (20:48):
Well, Kevin McHale was the big mess exactly. Kevin O'Connell
is the quarterback.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
That is correct. It started with I didn't I don't
think they talked much about it when he was with Cousins.
I don't remember quarterback whisperer coming out of there though,
And it almost seems like it was after the fact,
like revisionist history. Oh you know, that was a really
good season by Kirk. I think I think O'Connell had
a lot to do with it. I think you and
I have discussed that and we've considered I mean, did
(21:14):
Kirk play a little bit better that season? Maybe so?
Was it because of Kevin O'Connell. I don't know. I
don't know if there's any way to prove that or not.
And then after past orna what was his name again,
on Josh Dobbs came in and he had one really
great game and then another another game and a half
(21:35):
that was pretty good and people thought, wow, you know,
remember there were people that wanted to sign Well, we
have our quarterback now. Josh Dobbs is our guy. He
one of those RPO guys, and that certainly didn't work
out either. We drafted McCarthy, he gets hurt. Donald comes in.
Donald's brilliant. He had been cast aside by two other franchises.
(21:58):
He was the third pick overall in his draft year,
and everybody'd given up on him, and suddenly he was brilliant.
Last year, he was simply brilliant. We all know what happened.
They had a chance in the final game of the
season to win the division. If they would have beaten Detroit,
they would have been the number one seed overall. He
did not play well, whether he cracked under the pressure,
(22:19):
whatever it was. He made a number of bad passes,
bad decisions. They lose to the lines he goes from.
The Vikings go from a chance to be the number
one seed overall with the first round by they dropped
to fifth, and then they get smothered by the Rams.
And again I don't think it was I don't remember
every playing that game. Was there a player too where
(22:40):
maybe Darnell hung onto the ball too long, I suppose so,
But it was mostly the interior of the Vikings offensive
line and even the head coach bought that because he
said it almost immediately follow away the game. We have
to address the interior of the offensive line. But everybody
seems to think that O'Connell can coach up quarterbacks. Well,
(23:06):
I think the coach believes that too, So I'm sure
he believes he can coach up Wentz. Why wouldn't you
believe that? And if you're a fan of the quarterback whisperer,
why wouldn't Wentz has played pretty well in these first
three games. Maybe quarterback Whisperer is going to lift Wentz
to the same place he lifted Donald. Why is everybody
so impatient? Want to get McCarthy back in there? Relax,
(23:28):
enjoy the season. Quarterback whisper is going to have wins,
comeback player of the year. You must believe that because
you love O'Connell and you think he's a quarterback whisperer.
You think he's gonna coach McCarthy up to be the
franchise quarterback. So if he is, that can wait, because
he's gonna coach Wents up right, I mean, isn't that
the logic? Isn't that the most If that's the logic,
(23:49):
you believe, if you believe O'Connell is a quarterback whisperer.
What he did for Donald, what he did for cousins,
every quarterback he has mentored, they have Danny Dimes. Danny
Dye didn't even play under you know, a snap for
the Vikings Instill. He O'Connell's getting the credit for Danny
Dimes playing the way is this year. Well, then, why
(24:09):
would Wentz be any different? What's wrong with you? Fans?
Wentz just led the team on was it was it?
He went nine for nine in the final drive and
pulled the fat out of the fire and got us
to three and two. He saved the season. Why do
you want to discard him? Quarterback Whisper? Wait, do you
see what they do against the Eagles. Quarterback Whisper might
(24:31):
be NFC offense quarterback Wentz after listening to quarterback Whisper
might not be in the NFC Offensive Player of the Week.
So just just relax. We'll have Wentz playing. Well, we'll break,
we'll come back. By the way, Peak at the Purple
(24:52):

more Amsterdam is guessing.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
Here's a listener. But he is someone I you know,
it wasn't like a staff you know, a senior staff writer,
junior staff writer. Even it was just a contributor.
Speaker 6 (26:04):
Well, that's a that's a bright young writer who's working
his way up the ranks.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
To his resume is on it's on file. His reve
and and and let me start by saying this, go ahead.
I had never heard of di'angelo before Dateline, Los Angeles.
Di'angelo another of the one named singers. That's kind of
(26:28):
a popular thing you've got. I don't know where it started,
but you know, you have like Madonna.
Speaker 6 (26:34):
And Charro, Beyonce and Beyonce, Twiggy in the in the
modeling world, I guess. I mean, you know, she was
kind of like Iman later on David Bowie's Widow and
you know, it's happened a bunch and yeah, I got yeah,
there we go. Yeah, no, I mean, he had a
full name, but he went by di'angelo.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
The Grammy winning R and B singer, recognized by his
raspy yet smooth voice in for arnery mainstream attention with
the shirtless untitled how Does It Feel Music video, died
at age fifty five. His real name, Michael Eugene Archer,
died Tuesday, according to a statement from his family. The
(27:14):
singer's family confirmed in a statement that he died after
a battle with cancer. His family called him a shining
star for our family and has dimmed his light for us,
and has dimmed his light for us in this life.
It says his music blended hip hop, grit, emphatic soul,
and gospel rooted, rooted, rooted emotion into a sound that
(27:35):
helps spearhead the neo soul movement of the nineteen nineties.
I'm assuming all that's accurate.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
I didn't completely.
Speaker 6 (27:41):
He grew up in the church, so for him to
have those sort of spiritual and soul roots makes perfect sense,
and he did. He was absolutely an R and B singer,
but he brought a modern mentality and not really a
hip hop sound as much as attitude. I would say
there well, I mean, and it doesn't hurt that the
(28:02):
guy was impossibly good looking, and that shirtless video is
iconic for more than just the song itself. He was
at that perfect juncture in space time where R and
B needed a kick in the butt and there was
nobody better to do it than D'Angelo and the neo
soul thing. It was extremely popular in the nineties, and
he was probably the biggest face of it. I mean,
(28:23):
there were other names in there, to be certain. Erica
Badou kind of comes out of that same melting pot,
and she's brilliant. I was not super deep on D'Angelo,
and he was always sort of a weird, mysterious figure
like would just splash with something massive and then go
quiet and you wouldn't hear anything, and no one really
knew too much about him, but he remained this enigmatic
(28:44):
and highly popular figure throughout his career. And yeah, cancer
takes another one.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Man.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
I don't like being the grum reaper, but I do
like it that we get to talk about people that
maybe aren't part of the everyday conversation.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
One more time.
Speaker 6 (28:57):
Again, I could not go deeper than two or three
three songs on DiAngelo.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
But when you're in the right you see.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
I didn't like the down tempo Bois de man slow
jam stuff of the nineties, but there was just a sweet,
delicious groove on someone like di'angelo that he did it
better than anyone else at a time when when music
needed it, he was great.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
A text messager says he thinks Beethoven started the one name.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
By the way, I heard you shutting Warren down the
other day regarding bad Bunny on the halftime show, and
then when the follow up line was something like I
wonder if Benny Goodman is available what I can't remember
what it was.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Louis armstrongloa, dude, that's what it was. And I laughed
so hard.
Speaker 6 (29:50):
I was in my car, parked in a parking lot
listening to the grum and that's exactly it. I mean,
I hate to break it to Warren and everybody else
who's bummed out about it. Either your old or and
or you're racist and or you don't like to be
reminded that you were no longer the primary demo and
that it can be a tough realization for many, But
(30:10):
the world will continue to evolve now and long after
each and every one of us is gone. So you
might as well just in the words of John Lennon,
turn off your mind, relax and float downstream.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
Or as.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Ken Kesey, was it ken Keyzy? Or no about being
on the bus?
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Tune in, turn on and drop out? Oh I think
that was Leary, wasn't it was Timothy? Tune in, turn on,
drop out, which I did. I took him out as
word I did.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
I did the same thing.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
Actually, yeah, I enjoyed it. I don't recommend it, but
I wouldn't trade some time. Yeah, I wouldn't trade it. Also,
I you know, I think we've talked. I don't and
I don't want to say you're you're you're not something
that maybe you are, but I don't think you're a
huge fan of prop rock.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
I don't.
Speaker 6 (31:01):
Again, the problem I have with prog rock is the
people who are into it. They're so into it, and like,
I don't mind hearing a song by Rush or Yes
or Dream Theater or Tool or whatever. It's like a
fine exactly, I love it, But I don't want to
listen to a four hour live rendition of something they
(31:24):
did in Hamburg in nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
I don't love that, don't I know.
Speaker 6 (31:27):
But again as a one off, as like a nice
little field trip for an hour or two. Cool, But
I just I can't listen to it all the time.
But there are people who would put Pink Floyd in
the prog rock category, and I could listen to Grow
Tall in the prog rock and I don't know, I
could listen to Pink Floyd all day, every day. So
it's a matter of flavors. There's lots of subgenres within
(31:48):
prog rock, but I'm not I would not be what
you would call its biggest.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Advocates was prog rock. Yes, one of my five favorite
bands of all time? Yeah is the band?
Speaker 6 (32:01):
Yes, And I can't be mad about that because they
were all superb players, very influential and very important and
put out a string of incredible albums.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Bill Bruford might be one of the best prog rock
drummers of all time, not the best, un though some
would see Neil Pert, who has passed away. A former
drummer for Rush, Rick Wakeman was one of two keyboardists,
John Anderson, the lead singer, Steve Howe guitarist, bass player.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
N't know this is your band. I know some of
the names. I know Anderson and I know Wakeman, and
that's a Bruford. But that's about it.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
I'll think of it. I'll think of it here and again. Anyways,
I hadn't I hadn't listened to them in years. This
is about ten years ago, and I was going up
to Brainerd and I said, I want to I'm going
to go into Best and I'm gonna find a CD
because I still had a CD player in my car.
And see it was still kind of not real popular,
(33:05):
but that's what I was still around. Yeah, that's what
I was doing. So I went in and I started
and I stumbled across Close to the Edge, which I
gave to it. Yeah, and I put it in. I
hadn't listened to it, I bet, and since my hate
Ashbury days when I was seventeen eighteen years old.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
So I've never listened to it.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
So yeah, so that's right. So this is thirty years
thirty thirty five years. I was listening on the way
to Brainer and when the song close to the Edgress
takes up one entire side eighteen minutes and forty seconds,
came to this conclusion, I pulled over to the side
of the road and I wept. It meant that much
to me, it was that good. And then I listened
to it a second time. That's so much mention me.
Speaker 5 (33:43):
No.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
The reason I bring up the prog rock thing is
apparently Rush has decided to I think nine or ten,
eleven twelve, however long it's been there going on tour,
though they will be without Neil Pert, and that doesn't
mean they can't tour. But it's you and I've talked
about this many many times. Anytime key members of bands
are missing, I wouldn't say this is a cover.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Band, because you know it's still the two primaries.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
I mean granted, even with his legendary status, is one
of the great drummers in rock history. You know, I
think most of what people are paying attention to, unless
they're deep prog heads or deep percussion heads, is are
the words and and the licks.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Right, yes, exactly, and but yeah, I know a couple.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
I have a couple friends who are prog rock fanatics,
and they are pumped that Russia is going to be
going back out there.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
They're excited.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Now, let me ask you a question about you went
to uh uh, you saw Stonehenge in Chicago, Queens of
the Stone Age, But yes, Leans are the Stone.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
In fact, just a couple of weeks ago. It was great.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
So because people were asking, they wanted to see what
you thought about.
Speaker 6 (34:53):
So the weird thing is, I've gone to Chicago, driven
to Chicago many times before, but this was a super
This is the wiket turnaround I've ever done.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
That's exactly, You're exactly right.
Speaker 6 (35:05):
We left at eight in the morning and drove straight
through to Chicago, got stuck in rush hour traffic in Chicago,
checked into our hotel, went down to the Chicago Theater, which,
by the way, if anyone's never been inside the Chicago Theater.
It's the iconic one downtown that has the big Chicago
sign right out front. It is perhaps the most ornate
and gorgeous theater I've ever been to. From the second
(35:26):
you walk into this old school turn of the century lobby,
these giant grand staircases spiraling up up to the fourth
floor in the highest balcony, and then the inside just
adorned and so gorgeous. I mean, we have great theaters here.
Both the Orpheum and the State are beautiful on the inside,
but this leaves them all in the dust. So the
(35:46):
location was amazing. The show is fantastic for people and
no queens of the Stone Age. They generally put on
a massive, melt your face rock and roll show. That's
why I fell in love with them. But this last
summer they went to Paris and did a retooled version
of themselves down in the catacombs. You can't turn it
up to eleven down in the Paris Catacombs, surrounded by
millions of human remains. And so they had retooled a
(36:09):
bunch of their songs, pulled out some of their weirder, quieter,
darker stuff, reworked it with string quartet and horns, and
they are taking a very small they're taking that particular
formation of the band on a very small tour, so
these were really hard to get, even for diehard Queens fans,
and my daughter acquired them. We drove there, saw a brilliant, incredible,
(36:29):
impressive show on the opening night of that leg of
the tour, and then the next morning we're in the
vehicle by before nine o'clock and headed back home. So
the turnaround was a little aggressive, but it was. It's
our favorite band, and so it was no question, and
it was one of the great live shows I've seen
in the last five years, if not the best live
show I've seen in the last Vially, it was just
because knowing Queens as well as I do, there hasn't
(36:52):
been a show like that. They haven't ever done anything
quite like this before, and it mirrors beautifully. It's a
very loving tribute of people haven't watched. You can find
it online a few places. They're live in the Catacombs.
You will not if you're new to Queens. This is
not what they normally sound like, but it's absolutely, absolutely beautiful.
So I had a fantastic time, and I encourage people
(37:13):
when you're on the fence, You're like, I really do
an overnight to Chicago or Atlanta or wherever you can
fly and take a lot of the stress off that.
Neither my daughter nor I have gotten our real ID yet,
so we had to drive. But I don't regret any
of it, the expense, the amount of time. I got
great quality time with my daughter, who's amazing, and I
got to see my favorite.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Current band on the planet live. It was It was really,
it was great.
Speaker 6 (37:36):
So people who are on the fence, whether it's with
a loved one or a good palliers or a family member, whatever,
and you get a chance to go do just even
a quick overnight somewhere or see some music that really
matters to you and moves you.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
On the inside, just do it. Man, Life DiAngelo would
encourage you to do it.
Speaker 6 (37:55):
The amount of time we have and the number of
minutes left in front of us has a date, It
has a finite number on it, So don't waste any
of them.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Text measures is pretty sure. Chris Kuiir was the only
full time member of Yes, he was the only I
don't know if your full time members right way to
say it. He was the only member of the band
that was there from the very beginning until his death.
He died about four or five years ago at the
age of seventy one. But yeah, he never left, you know,
like there were guys that were there for a while,
left come back, you know how that works exactly.
Speaker 6 (38:25):
He was the only one, especially a band of musicians,
musicians like that. You're gonna look at the Yardbirds. I mean,
you're gonna phase people in and out before we get
to rock rank today? Can I hit you with a
Taylor Swift fun fact? Is there anything fun factual about
Taylor Swift?
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Go ahead?
Speaker 1 (38:40):
Are you joking me? I know you stir in the
pot right that? Even for me?
Speaker 6 (38:44):
And I'm not a full blown Swifty. Her latest album,
Life of a Showgirl, she just broke shattered even her
own record. She scored her fifteenth number one album on
Billboard's two hundred album chart, which is a new record
the most number ones among soloists. And she also so
wrote a message to fans. In an era where no
(39:07):
one buys physical product and no one gets the whole
album anymore, Taylor Swift is that adele like anomaly. She
shifted four million units in week one. That does not
happen in the modern day and age. The system is
specifically set up, so that's not how the music game
works anymore. And I mean, she was sixteen years old
almost twenty years ago, right, and her first record put
(39:28):
it sold forty thousand in its first week, and she said,
I can't believe that many people care. Now one hundred
times that bought her full length release the week that
it came out, and she's there's just there's no there
continues to be no one like her, and she is, yeah,
she's doing exceptionally well.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
In case you're well, we're all, well, you're not.
Speaker 6 (39:49):
But apparently four million people couldn't wait to get their
hands on her whole new record.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
When you're seventeen years old, of course, and now now
that's seventeen years old, of course you're in. All right,

say are we on for today? I've not heard from him,

That is a schedule time and being what Wednesday, then Thursday,
Briody Citizen, four days from game time. I don't know
if we'll learn any more about who's going to be
the starting quarterback this week for the soon to be
Big Game World champion Minnesota Vikings. My guess is he
will not tip his hand. He'll say something, the JJ's
making progress. We please with what we see, uh, but
(05:04):
you know we still need his feed and sync with
his eyes and then he'll do the people like to
call it word salad. I I that's never been a
phrase I've been very fond of. But if that's what
people want to call it, I guess we can. I
just call it a lot of mumbo jumbo, is what
it is. I call it a lot of It's like
trying to evade a pass rusher, right he when when
(05:26):
you're when when you're hit with a bevy of questions
and people are trying to get to the bottom, to
the bottom of a I don't know if you want
to call it a controversy, a quarterback controversy, and they
really don't want to say anything because I think maybe
they don't even known't for sure what they want to
do or they don't want to tip their hand at
the other team and all that. But we'll see. We'll
find out that will be at about one twenty or so.
Plenty to get to more Major League Baseball and other
scintillating performance on the mound by the LA Dodgers. They
(05:50):
play baseball the real way you're supposed to play. Of
course they have a lot of money too. That doesn't
hurt your wild club. I don't know what the thing now,
we've been on pace to be fine, I have and
oh or give outscore every team we want a first
game five nothing. So we were on pace to score
eighty two times five hundred and four whatever, how many
four hundred and fifty plus goals a game and not
(06:11):
give any up. We were gonna go eighty two and
oh and now it's it's headed in the other direction
to a certain extent. Also, we've got the Minnesota Timberwolves
will be starting their season soon. So plenty to get to.
I'm not sure where to begin. Let's spend the wheel
of time.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Commons golf. What'd you shoot today?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I didn't even and I just picked up after a while.
It was so bad today I played it the U
of m Lester Bolstad. Where'd you hit it? On one?
He did hit it right after God hit a perfect
drive in the first let's see one? Where was it? Oh?
I still had a waste to go out a hybrid
in my hand. They changed one from what it used
to be. Used to be a straight on par four
now at dog legs right. Oh, I hit a terrible
(07:04):
hybrid and it just crashed into a tree and fell down.
I hit a little right right, I hit a Then
I had to hit a little knockdown. I might as
well be a pitch for I had to hit a
little knockdown. I think I hit a fifty four degree.
I thought it was perfect, but it skittered across the
green and we shot on. But then I buried the
pot My potter was rockside like it's been for ten days,
but it just got away from me. A couple of things.
(07:27):
First of all, the only difference between my uh the
last ten days when I played really well and today
was Brett Blakemore played with me, and so I think
Brett Blakemore is bad luck. So I'm gonna ever what
did Chris Carter say tenneby? Well, he said thirty million
won't get you to the grave? Foo, But what else
did he say?
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I have a fall guy?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
That is correct, and Brett Blakemore is my is my
fall guy. Plus I this is official unofficial ambassador of
Minnesota Golf, a business that I have to take care
of here. I think the way of playing the less
Bolsted at University of Minnesota golf course for the very
last time for me was a little bit too much
(08:08):
to overcome. I was playing with a heavy heart. They're
closing the course after this year. It's over there. They've
decided the the in all their brilliance, the I don't
know if it's the you know, the administration at the U.
I don't know if that's if that's what do they
(08:29):
call the people that run the not alumni? But what's
the word I'm looking for.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
I know who you're talking about. I kill them like regions? Yeah,
regions the border today? Is that the border regions? I
don't know who it is.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
But they've decided they want to sell the golf course
and make and I don't know what they'll get for it.
If it'll be ten million, twenty fifty hundred million, and it's.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Good money, it'll be good change.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
But I've also heard that that property is not as
valuable as people think, just because it's harder to build
on because there's wetlands all over it. There's all sorts
of But I'm sure they'll find some developer that will
go ahead and do that. But in there, in, there,
in all their there, and I guess they have a
dire need for money at the U. I mean everybody does, right,
(09:10):
They've decided that's one way to try to fill the
gaps is to sell the property. Though the golf course
is profitable, it's legendary. It's been around since nineteen twenty nine.
Now I know it's it's it's probably outlived its usefulness
as far as you doesn't play there. I mentioned yesterday
that I thought that you played the tournaments at wind
Song Farm. I had a couple of people tell me
(09:31):
it's the TPC of the Twin City. So I had
it wrong, and I apologize, But I think it was
at wind Song for a while. But it's at the
TPC of the Twin Cities because you know, Bullstad from
the Tips only plays like sixty three hundred yards. It
just doesn't you know it it it does with with
the technology and with everybody hitting for golf clubs and
golf balls, with the kids hitting the ball as far
as they can, they just can't use that golf course anymore.
(09:54):
But it's a nice facility, but it's it's gone, and
you know, I I I wish they I think they should.
You know how many people have graduated from the University
of Minnesota with that degree have parlayed that into a
multi million dollars living. Why don't you go to those
people and have them pony up some money and give
(10:15):
back to the University of Minnesota instead of selling the
golf course. I'm I'm I'm opposed to it. I think
the regents are making a mistake, but there's nothing uh.
I will not rest until you until the University of
Minnesota Board of Regents changes their mind.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
Pivots protest, we could right. They kind of kind of
worked with Hiawatha, did it not?
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Where were they doing the naked protest?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
I saw a story naked protest.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I saw a story the other day somewhere there was
they were somebody was pro some group was protesting something
and they were riding bikes naked. I think it might
have been in Seattle.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I don't know where, but were they protesting clothes?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Much like Mark Rosen said he will not rest until
Jim Marshall is in the Hall of Fame. My guess
is Mark hasn't done anything. They get to Marshall into
the Hall of Fame, but he said he won't rest.
I will not rest until the Board of Regents reverses
their decision. It's more than I can stand. They're closing
(11:18):
less Bullstad. That doesn't rhyme, but rhymes that they're.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Getting more mad. Yeah, making me mad.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
You're really making me mad by closing less Bullstad. Though
it's Bullstead. You can do whatever you want to do,
I guess. But yeah, so I just not play pretty
well and that you know again, it's one of the
round got away with me. I was just kind of
practicing shots because I was thinking, has my game after
ten days of some of the best golf I've ever played,
(11:49):
just disappeared again. I don't think so. I hit some
good shots out there, but nonetheless we laugh, we cry.
So yeah, Lester Bullstad, if you want to play it
one last time or if you've never played it, it's
a fun golf course in terrific shape. I talked with Brent,
the superintendent. He was out there. He told me, he goes.
I thought I was going to retire here, but it's
apparently not going to happen. Eddie Win is your he
(12:11):
runs the place over there, Eddie was. I met Eddie
first over at Stoneridge. He was there for years at
Stoneridge and he moved over to the University of Minnesota.
And yeah, so the there will be a number of
people losing their jobs if that happens. But if you've
never played the course or one, because I think October
thirtieth is it and they're shutting her down and there
will be no more. But you've played less Bullstead, haven't you.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I've played it once or twice.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Yeah, I think maybe you tag it.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Feel like.
Speaker 7 (12:35):
Those types of golf courses. I don't farewell at the way.
It's tight, tree line type golf course.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Three line tight. He'llly, yeah, there's it's it's doesn't fit
my game. Yeah, it's only sixty three hundred yards, but
it's tough.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
There's the two roads on the two holes on the
other side of the larpener, and you take the tunnel
underneath the underneath larpenter and you go play ten and eleven,
two great holes. Too bad you got to walk down
a single file. And then they have two holes number
twelve the number fifteen that have the periscopes so that
you look down at him, so that you can see
down the fairwek make sure it's cleared. So it's and
(13:05):
it's the UW of Them's home course for all those years.
Jack Nicholas played there, Tom Layman played there, all the
greats played there over the years. So but it has gone.
So let's do this. Let's take a break. There's plenty
to get to with the purple. I'm gonna I know
this won't be the very If I say this will
been the last time we talk about who should start
at quarterback, people will go, well, that's not true, And
you're right, because we will talk about it again. But
(13:27):
I'm going to read an email and then I'm going
to try to I'm gonna come at it from a
different angle and try to explain to you what I
really think is happening in the inner workings of t
show performance out of the new Minor Park, and it's
the media and the fans have been feeding this. You're
getting what you asked for. I'll explain other side of
(13:49):
the break with Peak at the Purple. But right now,
Tennebee has a keyword for our national cash content.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
Grade teacher at Adams Elementary School and Crewe Rapids. Mister Kaiser,
I've mentioned him a couple of times. If you'll remember
ten of me, I think it was your son emailed
or called into the radio station, and so that's my
dad you're talk about it. I asked him about you
and told him that you mentioned him on the air
and the red paddle down in the boiler room, you know,
(14:56):
getting swats when you misbehaved, and mister apparently said really
probably deserved it, and I did. And I appreciate mister
Kaiser doing everything he can to instill some discipline in me.
Did work, but he tried. Right, those are the days,
my friend, we thought they'd never ended. My end hurt.
(15:18):
Let me just say that, do you think they're selling
bullstad because they're gearing up for Pj's next contracts And
we've got to come up of money somewhere because.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
You'll get a big fat an extension every year when
it comes to college coaches, because they always have to
say more than the four years on their contracts.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
It's because you know, it's a scale. When you're six
and five and you make a bowl game. A lot
of someone texted me and said, p J. Fleck is
going to get the Penn State job. Why does every
anything p J Fleck is the is the number one
choice for every college football opening.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, it hasn't been that great here.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
No, I like them. He's been solid, but it's not like, yeah,
it's it's it's Penn State and that's and you know what,
I think the coach likes it here, I really do.
I think he does like it here. I think he
likes where he's been, where he's going. Where he's at.
Takes a lot of money, not too much pressure. But
I think if you get a Penn State.
Speaker 7 (16:19):
Off or you go right, that's that's that's a that's
a just financially alone, you can't refuse.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Just happy Valley and it's you know, they've won. I
know they haven't won a Natty in a long When
did they win their last Natty? Was that in mid nineties,
mid eighties. I don't even recall. I thought it was
like ninety five or ninety four that Penn State won
a Natty. I might be way off of that. Maybe
they've never won one. I thought they've won three. I
(16:47):
thought Penn State's won three national championships in one like
in the mid nineties, early to mid nineties.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Just nineteen eighty two and nineteen eighty six.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Eighty six. It was that farce. It was two. So
I was off by one and it was back in
the mid eighties, not the mid nineties, so yeah, a
long time ago, but still a it's a it's a
high profile program. Uh pick at the Purple brought to
our by our friends at Affordable Electric. If you've just

Electric is shocking affordable. Yikes. Oh, email Goo Tim, you
(18:00):
have to hit the music. So email from Luke. He
emailed me on Monday to talk about the quarterback controversy
(18:22):
here in Minnesota and not collegiate, not high school, but
the pro level. JJ McCarthy, the ordained franchise quarterback, hand
picked tenth pick overall two years ago by the soon
to be Big Game World Champion Minnesota Vikings at Carson Wentz,
who has replaced him since an injury. And Wentz remember
Wentz was sitting on the couch. Maybe he wasn't honest couch.
(18:44):
He might have a he might have a recliner. He
might be sitting in a love seat. I don't know
where he was sitting when he got the call. But
the Vikings called and said we need to back up
a quarterback, and he signed a deal. And then he's
played three games for the Vikings and he's gone too
and one So he says, I've been listening to your
(19:04):
intenna's arguing about why you favor continue to play Wentz.
Then he goes, well, I think some of your points
have validity. Neither of you have portrayed the McCarthy's side
of the debate very well. Then he goes on to
explain it. And then I texted him back on Tuesday
after I saw this on He sent that Monday. On Tuesday,
I said, doesn't matter what you or I think. The
team is a game out of first place. They're playing
to win, not develop a quarterback, he writes. Then he
(19:26):
responded again, this would be yesterday or later Tuesday. He
said to the point I'm trying to get across is
starting Wentz is not playing to win. Maybe win the
next game, and that's a big maybe, but it's playing
to make the But it's playing to make the playoffs
and then lose. Our media fan base has long been
satisfied with that resultant seems to consider it a successful season.
(19:47):
I might be the minority, but I don't consider that
a successful season. Developing JJ this year and getting a
regular season, hopefully posting his experience is the path that
truly plane to win. I know my take is quite esoteric,
but that's the burden I carry. You don't have the
esoteric approaches. Only a few people do. Luke, I love you,
but but I I employed the esoteric approach. Here's the angle.
(20:12):
I guess I'll come with it, and it tend to
be I think most Vikings fans I think Kevin O'Connell
is a terrific head coach, or at least a good
head coach. Right, I think most people I know you do. Yes,
you think he might be the Deid Andy Reid might
be the best quarterback one. Don't you think one of
the best quarterbacks in pro football? One of one of
(20:37):
the reasons he's so highly regarded is because he is
a so called he's been proclaimed a quarterback whisperer.
Speaker 7 (20:48):
Well, Kevin McHale was the big mess exactly. Kevin O'Connell
is the quarterback.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
That is correct. It started with I didn't I don't
think they talked much about it when he was with Cousins.
I don't remember quarterback whisperer coming out of there though,
And it almost seems like it was after the fact,
like revisionist history. Oh you know, that was a really
good season by Kirk. I think I think O'Connell had
a lot to do with it. I think you and
I have discussed that and we've considered I mean, did
(21:14):
Kirk play a little bit better that season? Maybe so?
Was it because of Kevin O'Connell. I don't know. I
don't know if there's any way to prove that or not.
And then after past orna what was his name again,
on Josh Dobbs came in and he had one really
great game and then another another game and a half
(21:35):
that was pretty good and people thought, wow, you know,
remember there were people that wanted to sign Well, we
have our quarterback now. Josh Dobbs is our guy. He
one of those RPO guys, and that certainly didn't work
out either. We drafted McCarthy, he gets hurt. Donald comes in.
Donald's brilliant. He had been cast aside by two other franchises.
(21:58):
He was the third pick overall in his draft year,
and everybody'd given up on him, and suddenly he was brilliant.
Last year, he was simply brilliant. We all know what happened.
They had a chance in the final game of the
season to win the division. If they would have beaten Detroit,
they would have been the number one seed overall. He
did not play well, whether he cracked under the pressure,
(22:19):
whatever it was. He made a number of bad passes,
bad decisions. They lose to the lines he goes from.
The Vikings go from a chance to be the number
one seed overall with the first round by they dropped
to fifth, and then they get smothered by the Rams.
And again I don't think it was I don't remember
every playing that game. Was there a player too where
(22:40):
maybe Darnell hung onto the ball too long, I suppose so,
But it was mostly the interior of the Vikings offensive
line and even the head coach bought that because he
said it almost immediately follow away the game. We have
to address the interior of the offensive line. But everybody
seems to think that O'Connell can coach up quarterbacks. Well,
(23:06):
I think the coach believes that too, So I'm sure
he believes he can coach up Wentz. Why wouldn't you
believe that? And if you're a fan of the quarterback whisperer,
why wouldn't Wentz has played pretty well in these first
three games. Maybe quarterback Whisperer is going to lift Wentz
to the same place he lifted Donald. Why is everybody
so impatient? Want to get McCarthy back in there? Relax,
(23:28):
enjoy the season. Quarterback whisper is going to have wins,
comeback player of the year. You must believe that because
you love O'Connell and you think he's a quarterback whisperer.
You think he's gonna coach McCarthy up to be the
franchise quarterback. So if he is, that can wait, because
he's gonna coach Wents up right, I mean, isn't that
the logic? Isn't that the most If that's the logic,
(23:49):
you believe, if you believe O'Connell is a quarterback whisperer.
What he did for Donald, what he did for cousins,
every quarterback he has mentored, they have Danny Dimes. Danny
Dye didn't even play under you know, a snap for
the Vikings Instill. He O'Connell's getting the credit for Danny
Dimes playing the way is this year. Well, then, why
(24:09):
would Wentz be any different? What's wrong with you? Fans?
Wentz just led the team on was it was it?
He went nine for nine in the final drive and
pulled the fat out of the fire and got us
to three and two. He saved the season. Why do
you want to discard him? Quarterback Whisper? Wait, do you
see what they do against the Eagles. Quarterback Whisper might
(24:31):
be NFC offense quarterback Wentz after listening to quarterback Whisper
might not be in the NFC Offensive Player of the Week.
So just just relax. We'll have Wentz playing. Well, we'll break,
we'll come back. By the way, Peak at the Purple

Speaker 2 (25:21):
GOUBLE thirteen fourteen past. I'm common. He's tend to be
excited and delighted to be joined by Brian Oak aka
the grum Reaper.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
That's really good.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
I liked Angel of Death, but the grum Reap is that, uh,
it's all yours. No, but I mean who uh, that's
more Amsterdam is guessing.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
No, no, not everything's more yet.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Well that sounds like his type of humor, but.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
It was not more Amsterdam guy. I mean, can I
get a little credit for.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Well, after all, I mean, you are the common man,
this is your commonwealth.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Here's a listener. But he is someone I you know,
it wasn't like a staff you know, a senior staff writer,
junior staff writer. Even it was just a contributor.
Speaker 6 (26:04):
Well, that's a that's a bright young writer who's working
his way up the ranks.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
To his resume is on it's on file. His reve
and and and let me start by saying this, go ahead.
I had never heard of di'angelo before Dateline, Los Angeles.
Di'angelo another of the one named singers. That's kind of
(26:28):
a popular thing you've got. I don't know where it started,
but you know, you have like Madonna.
Speaker 6 (26:34):
And Charro, Beyonce and Beyonce, Twiggy in the in the
modeling world, I guess. I mean, you know, she was
kind of like Iman later on David Bowie's Widow and
you know, it's happened a bunch and yeah, I got yeah,
there we go. Yeah, no, I mean, he had a
full name, but he went by di'angelo.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
The Grammy winning R and B singer, recognized by his
raspy yet smooth voice in for arnery mainstream attention with
the shirtless untitled how Does It Feel Music video, died
at age fifty five. His real name, Michael Eugene Archer,
died Tuesday, according to a statement from his family. The
(27:14):
singer's family confirmed in a statement that he died after
a battle with cancer. His family called him a shining
star for our family and has dimmed his light for us,
and has dimmed his light for us in this life.
It says his music blended hip hop, grit, emphatic soul,
and gospel rooted, rooted, rooted emotion into a sound that
(27:35):
helps spearhead the neo soul movement of the nineteen nineties.
I'm assuming all that's accurate.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
I didn't completely.
Speaker 6 (27:41):
He grew up in the church, so for him to
have those sort of spiritual and soul roots makes perfect sense,
and he did. He was absolutely an R and B singer,
but he brought a modern mentality and not really a
hip hop sound as much as attitude. I would say
there well, I mean, and it doesn't hurt that the
(28:02):
guy was impossibly good looking, and that shirtless video is
iconic for more than just the song itself. He was
at that perfect juncture in space time where R and
B needed a kick in the butt and there was
nobody better to do it than D'Angelo and the neo
soul thing. It was extremely popular in the nineties, and
he was probably the biggest face of it. I mean,
(28:23):
there were other names in there, to be certain. Erica
Badou kind of comes out of that same melting pot,
and she's brilliant. I was not super deep on D'Angelo,
and he was always sort of a weird, mysterious figure
like would just splash with something massive and then go
quiet and you wouldn't hear anything, and no one really
knew too much about him, but he remained this enigmatic
(28:44):
and highly popular figure throughout his career. And yeah, cancer
takes another one.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Man.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
I don't like being the grum reaper, but I do
like it that we get to talk about people that
maybe aren't part of the everyday conversation.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
One more time.
Speaker 6 (28:57):
Again, I could not go deeper than two or three
three songs on DiAngelo.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
But when you're in the right you see.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
I didn't like the down tempo Bois de man slow
jam stuff of the nineties, but there was just a sweet,
delicious groove on someone like di'angelo that he did it
better than anyone else at a time when when music
needed it, he was great.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
A text messager says he thinks Beethoven started the one name.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
By the way, I heard you shutting Warren down the
other day regarding bad Bunny on the halftime show, and
then when the follow up line was something like I
wonder if Benny Goodman is available what I can't remember
what it was.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Louis armstrongloa, dude, that's what it was. And I laughed
so hard.
Speaker 6 (29:50):
I was in my car, parked in a parking lot
listening to the grum and that's exactly it. I mean,
I hate to break it to Warren and everybody else
who's bummed out about it. Either your old or and
or you're racist and or you don't like to be
reminded that you were no longer the primary demo and
that it can be a tough realization for many, But
(30:10):
the world will continue to evolve now and long after
each and every one of us is gone. So you
might as well just in the words of John Lennon,
turn off your mind, relax and float downstream.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
Or as.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Ken Kesey, was it ken Keyzy? Or no about being
on the bus?
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Tune in, turn on and drop out? Oh I think
that was Leary, wasn't it was Timothy? Tune in, turn on,
drop out, which I did. I took him out as
word I did.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
I did the same thing.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
Actually, yeah, I enjoyed it. I don't recommend it, but
I wouldn't trade some time. Yeah, I wouldn't trade it. Also,
I you know, I think we've talked. I don't and
I don't want to say you're you're you're not something
that maybe you are, but I don't think you're a
huge fan of prop rock.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
I don't.
Speaker 6 (31:01):
Again, the problem I have with prog rock is the
people who are into it. They're so into it, and like,
I don't mind hearing a song by Rush or Yes
or Dream Theater or Tool or whatever. It's like a
fine exactly, I love it, But I don't want to
listen to a four hour live rendition of something they
(31:24):
did in Hamburg in nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
I don't love that, don't I know.
Speaker 6 (31:27):
But again as a one off, as like a nice
little field trip for an hour or two. Cool, But
I just I can't listen to it all the time.
But there are people who would put Pink Floyd in
the prog rock category, and I could listen to Grow
Tall in the prog rock and I don't know, I
could listen to Pink Floyd all day, every day. So
it's a matter of flavors. There's lots of subgenres within
(31:48):
prog rock, but I'm not I would not be what
you would call its biggest.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Advocates was prog rock. Yes, one of my five favorite
bands of all time? Yeah is the band?
Speaker 6 (32:01):
Yes, And I can't be mad about that because they
were all superb players, very influential and very important and
put out a string of incredible albums.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Bill Bruford might be one of the best prog rock
drummers of all time, not the best, un though some
would see Neil Pert, who has passed away. A former
drummer for Rush, Rick Wakeman was one of two keyboardists,
John Anderson, the lead singer, Steve Howe guitarist, bass player.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
N't know this is your band. I know some of
the names. I know Anderson and I know Wakeman, and
that's a Bruford. But that's about it.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
I'll think of it. I'll think of it here and again. Anyways,
I hadn't I hadn't listened to them in years. This
is about ten years ago, and I was going up
to Brainerd and I said, I want to I'm going
to go into Best and I'm gonna find a CD
because I still had a CD player in my car.
And see it was still kind of not real popular,
(33:05):
but that's what I was still around. Yeah, that's what
I was doing. So I went in and I started
and I stumbled across Close to the Edge, which I
gave to it. Yeah, and I put it in. I
hadn't listened to it, I bet, and since my hate
Ashbury days when I was seventeen eighteen years old.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
So I've never listened to it.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
So yeah, so that's right. So this is thirty years
thirty thirty five years. I was listening on the way
to Brainer and when the song close to the Edgress
takes up one entire side eighteen minutes and forty seconds,
came to this conclusion, I pulled over to the side
of the road and I wept. It meant that much
to me, it was that good. And then I listened
to it a second time. That's so much mention me.
Speaker 5 (33:43):
No.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
The reason I bring up the prog rock thing is
apparently Rush has decided to I think nine or ten,
eleven twelve, however long it's been there going on tour,
though they will be without Neil Pert, and that doesn't
mean they can't tour. But it's you and I've talked
about this many many times. Anytime key members of bands
are missing, I wouldn't say this is a cover.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Band, because you know it's still the two primaries.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
I mean granted, even with his legendary status, is one
of the great drummers in rock history. You know, I
think most of what people are paying attention to, unless
they're deep prog heads or deep percussion heads, is are
the words and and the licks.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Right, yes, exactly, and but yeah, I know a couple.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
I have a couple friends who are prog rock fanatics,
and they are pumped that Russia is going to be
going back out there.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
They're excited.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Now, let me ask you a question about you went
to uh uh, you saw Stonehenge in Chicago, Queens of
the Stone Age, But yes, Leans are the Stone.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
In fact, just a couple of weeks ago. It was great.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
So because people were asking, they wanted to see what
you thought about.
Speaker 6 (34:53):
So the weird thing is, I've gone to Chicago, driven
to Chicago many times before, but this was a super
This is the wiket turnaround I've ever done.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
That's exactly, You're exactly right.
Speaker 6 (35:05):
We left at eight in the morning and drove straight
through to Chicago, got stuck in rush hour traffic in Chicago,
checked into our hotel, went down to the Chicago Theater, which,
by the way, if anyone's never been inside the Chicago Theater.
It's the iconic one downtown that has the big Chicago
sign right out front. It is perhaps the most ornate
and gorgeous theater I've ever been to. From the second
(35:26):
you walk into this old school turn of the century lobby,
these giant grand staircases spiraling up up to the fourth
floor in the highest balcony, and then the inside just
adorned and so gorgeous. I mean, we have great theaters here.
Both the Orpheum and the State are beautiful on the inside,
but this leaves them all in the dust. So the
(35:46):
location was amazing. The show is fantastic for people and
no queens of the Stone Age. They generally put on
a massive, melt your face rock and roll show. That's
why I fell in love with them. But this last
summer they went to Paris and did a retooled version
of themselves down in the catacombs. You can't turn it
up to eleven down in the Paris Catacombs, surrounded by
millions of human remains. And so they had retooled a
(36:09):
bunch of their songs, pulled out some of their weirder, quieter,
darker stuff, reworked it with string quartet and horns, and
they are taking a very small they're taking that particular
formation of the band on a very small tour, so
these were really hard to get, even for diehard Queens fans,
and my daughter acquired them. We drove there, saw a brilliant, incredible,
(36:29):
impressive show on the opening night of that leg of
the tour, and then the next morning we're in the
vehicle by before nine o'clock and headed back home. So
the turnaround was a little aggressive, but it was. It's
our favorite band, and so it was no question, and
it was one of the great live shows I've seen
in the last five years, if not the best live
show I've seen in the last Vially, it was just
because knowing Queens as well as I do, there hasn't
(36:52):
been a show like that. They haven't ever done anything
quite like this before, and it mirrors beautifully. It's a
very loving tribute of people haven't watched. You can find
it online a few places. They're live in the Catacombs.
You will not if you're new to Queens. This is
not what they normally sound like, but it's absolutely, absolutely beautiful.
So I had a fantastic time, and I encourage people
(37:13):
when you're on the fence, You're like, I really do
an overnight to Chicago or Atlanta or wherever you can
fly and take a lot of the stress off that.
Neither my daughter nor I have gotten our real ID yet,
so we had to drive. But I don't regret any
of it, the expense, the amount of time. I got
great quality time with my daughter, who's amazing, and I
got to see my favorite.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Current band on the planet live. It was It was really,
it was great.
Speaker 6 (37:36):
So people who are on the fence, whether it's with
a loved one or a good palliers or a family member, whatever,
and you get a chance to go do just even
a quick overnight somewhere or see some music that really
matters to you and moves you.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
On the inside, just do it. Man, Life DiAngelo would
encourage you to do it.
Speaker 6 (37:55):
The amount of time we have and the number of
minutes left in front of us has a date, It
has a finite number on it, So don't waste any
of them.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Text measures is pretty sure. Chris Kuiir was the only
full time member of Yes, he was the only I
don't know if your full time members right way to
say it. He was the only member of the band
that was there from the very beginning until his death.
He died about four or five years ago at the
age of seventy one. But yeah, he never left, you know,
like there were guys that were there for a while,
left come back, you know how that works exactly.
Speaker 6 (38:25):
He was the only one, especially a band of musicians,
musicians like that. You're gonna look at the Yardbirds. I mean,
you're gonna phase people in and out before we get
to rock rank today? Can I hit you with a
Taylor Swift fun fact? Is there anything fun factual about
Taylor Swift?
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Go ahead?
Speaker 1 (38:40):
Are you joking me? I know you stir in the
pot right that? Even for me?
Speaker 6 (38:44):
And I'm not a full blown Swifty. Her latest album,
Life of a Showgirl, she just broke shattered even her
own record. She scored her fifteenth number one album on
Billboard's two hundred album chart, which is a new record
the most number ones among soloists. And she also so
wrote a message to fans. In an era where no
(39:07):
one buys physical product and no one gets the whole
album anymore, Taylor Swift is that adele like anomaly. She
shifted four million units in week one. That does not
happen in the modern day and age. The system is
specifically set up, so that's not how the music game
works anymore. And I mean, she was sixteen years old
almost twenty years ago, right, and her first record put
(39:28):
it sold forty thousand in its first week, and she said,
I can't believe that many people care. Now one hundred
times that bought her full length release the week that
it came out, and she's there's just there's no there
continues to be no one like her, and she is, yeah,
she's doing exceptionally well.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
In case you're well, we're all, well, you're not.
Speaker 6 (39:49):
But apparently four million people couldn't wait to get their
hands on her whole new record.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
When you're seventeen years old, of course, and now now
that's seventeen years old, of course you're in. All right,
let's go ahead and do it. Tennabye Rock Rank Rock
