Speaker 1 (00:00):
Head man, common man, common man, don't show pe solid plan,
says secit of broach, ho failt.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
It's time for common.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Man, common man, common man charge the houseworks like no
one can.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Shoot where we play. That's a nonsense. I decidy to man.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
It's time for common man.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Oh boy, 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 the
have not nations and courage and inspire and indeed require
(00:52):
hard work and maximum effort, if we deify the common
man while they encourage and reward the uncommon ones by
the end result of such a lopsided race, as that
is too obvious to require elaboration.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
I mean, it's like, Hello, the time is running out
on damn CLO's round.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Let's go to fifteen, Bob.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Yeah, John Cole has been visibly angry. He's been talking
to himself quite a bit, and it doesn't get any
easier here on the par three fifteen pole at Minnesota National.
This hole is guarded by two bunkers with a big
tree in front of the green. Very challenging t shot.
He's outre to hit a five iron. Here coal on
real pants, fluttering in the wind, mumbling to himself, I've
(01:45):
got to have this shot. Oh that's very well struck,
spinning through the air like a JJ McCarthy pass.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
It's right online, looking good.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Oh my, it's in. I can't believe what.
Speaker 7 (02:01):
I just saw a hole in one for Cole at
the fifteenth and he's pointing at patrons in the gallery shouting,
you doubted me, you doubted me, you doubted me. And
now he's embracing his son Peter. What a moment between
father and son. Here at the fifteenth at Minnesota National.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Bulled on for the first time all day.
Speaker 8 (02:24):
The thunder forced the punt fourth and fifteen and Deuce
takes the long snapping on. Here's Duke snapped it. He
snapped it to the up man. It's Robbie and Robbie
looks surprised. He hasn't seen the football all day. And
Robbie's flag is snatched one. What's he thinking? Now there's
a man. There's a man with a backwards beret running
out on the field.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
While talking on the phone.
Speaker 8 (02:43):
He's yelling at Deuce and I can't and yes, Deuce did,
just yell back. D're insane because he tried to snap
it through the up man the thunder give up the
ball deep in their own territory.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Not sure what Deuce was thinking there. Look, look got
the buck to Milwaukee fraud.
Speaker 9 (03:07):
Yes, he's the clown from brown a fourth in the North.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Is the common Man on the Common Man program.
Speaker 9 (03:21):
We owe which all of you, all of our listeners,
and I want to thank each and every one of you.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Well.
Speaker 9 (03:28):
I think I had five listeners with that five or
four sounds more like three six seven, whatever the case
may be. I'm common Brett Blake Moore in today for
tennebe who's off a bit early. A lot of people
are getting a early start to the to the holiday season.
It is Christmas Eve, Christmas Day tomorrow than the day.
And then is it called black Friday? No, it's good Friday.
(03:50):
No good Fridays at Easter season, black Fridays after Thanksgiving.
I get all my special days mixed up. I will
say this, though you heard the sound by of the
Taste's box and masters hails justin Guard doing the one
word deuce.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
He held, you're insane.
Speaker 9 (04:06):
I mean, yeah, he was only like six seven years old.
And but and of course that was all. I don't
know if you you probably realized this, but maybe you don't.
That was not a real play by play highlight. That
was what that Yeah, that game wasn't being broadcast anywhere,
(04:26):
and somehow it morphed into football. It sounded like to
me this was at a soccer game. Douce never played
for My boys, never played foot. I didn't discourage them
from playing football, but I didn't encourage them either, because well,
you you see how cte hello, you know, and anterior crucierant,
(04:51):
anterior cruciate ligament tear this exterior interior and tier you know,
it's it's it's a very physical and violent game that
I could leave people crippled. So I thought it would
be better off if they didn't. And I think they
learned that after watching. They said, I think the old
(05:14):
man's right. So they chose basketball for baby brother Peter,
hoops or hoops for yeah, hoops for a baby brother Peter.
Douce started with soccer, and then he moved on across
country and track. But in that soccer game, you know,
I'm in my launch air and he did I don't
remember what it was, but it was just an awful
play on his part. And he looked over at me
(05:36):
because it was right in front of me, and I
looked at him. I kind of gave him this, you know,
that quizzical look where you kind of tilt your head
and you look and you're like, dude, what was that?
And that's where I mean And it was probably I mean,
because he is only six seven and it probably wasn't
the thing to do. And he give them that kind
of a look because it's really not that big idea.
But I was just I was astounded that he could
(05:57):
make such a awful whatever he itemmember he made some
bad decision, asked when he yelled at me as lot
as he.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Goes here, it's sane. I always loved that.
Speaker 9 (06:06):
One of my proudest moments as a parent, because I
played football both sides of the ball. Fierce pass rushing rockets,
belta runs stopping defensive line, and precise rut running pass
catching titan.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
And I've told this story before.
Speaker 9 (06:19):
I knew once I got to seventh grade, when I
was no longer fierce pass rushing rocket gibralter run stopping
defensive linemen, a precise rut running su of pass catching
tight end.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
That I wasn't big enough for that.
Speaker 9 (06:29):
So when I got to seventh grade and all the
weight classes were together, every kid from you know, if
you were seventy five pounds to three hundred pounds, and
they said, well, you can't play on the line anymore
or tight and you.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Have to be defensive back. And I was. It wasn't trained.
It wasn't any good. Rosen would have been great. He's
a great backpeddler. I was not right. I moved forward
and I rarely changed my mind.
Speaker 9 (06:49):
And I realized right away that what people like like,
players like me, what we were for. We were the
tackling dummies and the blocking sleds for the for the
first stringers, I said, oh, I see how this words,
because I was never going to see the field right
third string sued up on game day A hundred w
me over on the sideline. But you don't, you know,
(07:11):
it's sort of like the end of the bench with
the Timberwolves or any NBA team. You ain't seeing the game,
ain't no chance you know it. You don't even break
a sweat matter. But I I'm assuming there are guys
in the NBA that during warm ups, the guys at
the end of the bench that go, I'm not going
to really warm up real hard because I don't want
to break a sweat and have to shower before I
go home. I just want to be able to take
my unifrom off and go right, which is the way
(07:34):
I would approach it. You know, a stitch in time
saves six or seven, and so I would want to
save the time. So so that's why I got out
of it early. Man, I said, I'm done, And you
know what, No knee replacements, no hip replacements, no cte
that I know of. However, the trail I did go down.
(07:55):
I jumped off the straight and narrow, went down the
long and winding, and that that consisted of a whole
multicolored galaxy of uppers and downers and screamers and laughers.
Did you know there's nothing more to pray than a
man in the depths of an ether bench. So maybe
I have long term damage from altering my mind.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (08:18):
I don't I don't think i'd Some people would say
listening to me and say, well, yeah, that's that's obvious.
Just you know, I don't know if you listen to
air air checks. You know, there was a time where
you'd sit down with the boss and then you'd play
back your show and they'd go over what you did.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (08:36):
We used to do employee reviews here too, though we
haven't done one of those in decades. Why bother can't
teach an old dog new tricks? You know, gotta stop
winging it. We don't need a wet blanket Tuesday, And
it's going to be tough to do wet blanket Tuesday
on Christmas Eve.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
It's hard.
Speaker 9 (08:52):
But here's what I want to ask you. Mary and
Joseph ended up staying in a manger, right the baby
Jesus was born in a manger.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Because there was no room at the end. That's Joseph's fault.
I pined on it.
Speaker 9 (09:07):
I mean, how do you decide to go on vacation
in a major metropolis like Bethlehem without a reservation.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
It's gonna roll into town, hey, looking for a room?
Need one with plan? These things need one with.
Speaker 9 (09:25):
I don't know if I'm gonna need the bassinette but
we kind of think so. And she's quite a ways along,
and they go, we ain't got no rooms. We're full
at the end. Hey, there there, there's there's some sheep
herders just outside of town.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Go try there.
Speaker 9 (09:42):
Maybe maybe they got a baila, Hey you can use
and lo and behold, we three kings from Orient are
and and he was born. I think Jesus had Mary's eyes,
but he had God's nose. Well, I mean that's all
I can That's.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
All I can assume. Well, we've got a lot to
get to today.
Speaker 9 (10:06):
Birth of the Baby Jesus. A critical NFC Northern Division. Wait, yeah,
uh a plane out the string Northern Division collision tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
At the bank.
Speaker 9 (10:20):
It's a white out. We got that to get to.
There's a whole slate of NFL games. Uh huh, wild
Blues again going into the Uh. They're not actually going
into a break. They're getting a break from home because
we have the.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
World Junior what does it call?
Speaker 9 (10:33):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
World Jewels?
Speaker 9 (10:34):
World Juniors is being played here in town over at
the at the Grand Casino. U the reson box anymore, right,
not the fuse box anymore.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Wolves win.
Speaker 9 (10:48):
All they do is take care of they're taking care
of business every day, and then the holiday tomorrow, what's
everybody going to get? And all this and that? So
I don't even know where to begin today, I really don't.
So why don't we spend the wheel of topic.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Brett's golf game. Oh and you recently played? You mentioned that? Yeah?
And where where did we play? What did you shoot today? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (11:20):
It was a Sunday, It was an eighty five.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Where did we play? At auction?
Speaker 6 (11:24):
In southern dunes in Maricopa, Arizona?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Where'd you hit it on one?
Speaker 6 (11:30):
A little left? But we're on grass, which down there,
that's all that counts.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
So did you bring a rock club with you? I
brought two of them.
Speaker 9 (11:37):
I learned early in in golfing in Phoenix or anywhere
in the.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Desert, bring a rock club.
Speaker 9 (11:44):
Usually bring two, a seven iron and a three iron.
And because you don't want to take your brand new, beautiful,
expensive golf clubs and try to hit it off the rocks,
that's not good.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
I mean, I get tools, not jewels. But yeah, having
a desert club or two is a good thing. Far
from the green, I want to say, I had about
a nine, Kim, you had a McCarthy out, Yes, that's correct,
that's the technical term. Second shot pulled it into the
green side, bunkercarthy, that's also wide left.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Then what went bunker to bunker? Then what bunker to bump?
You're just say bumper to bumper? Were you working at
the Danburg Show?
Speaker 6 (12:22):
I don't think there's a rim shot on this.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Let me guess you made a double.
Speaker 9 (12:24):
I did, But then you must have turned it around
because eighty five is a nice number.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
I did so the round before that, I shot like
the worst round of twenty twenty five. And so then
I make double on one. I'm thinking, well, here we
go again. So I loosen her up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I go on a round.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
Bogie par bogie, par par bogie par nice.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
We're rolling.
Speaker 9 (12:46):
If you make nothing worse than bogie on a golf course,
you'll generally post a good score because you're.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Abound to make a handful of pars.
Speaker 9 (12:55):
And if you just don't make doubles and triples.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
You'll have a good score.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
What happened then, So at the time I can feel
me starting to get a little tired double on nine, thinking, oh,
you're getting it. I sometimes if I don't eat I
gotta I need some food, so I get food at
the turn, Bogie, Birdie, there's a It was like a
one fifty par three.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
What did you get at the turn to eat some tenders?
They just had some chicken tenders.
Speaker 9 (13:21):
There. You've got scartandos down? Did you what kind of dipping?
Let me guess you did a honey mustard?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
I just did play. Oh you are you know the.
Speaker 9 (13:28):
Same way I I don't really like I'm kind.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Of a purist.
Speaker 9 (13:30):
I mean, if I was going to do a dipping sauce,
I'm probably more of a uh.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
I would do like some kind of a ranch.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
You know.
Speaker 9 (13:40):
Actually, the very best of dipping sauce pretty much for
anything is like blue cheese. Oh yeah, I don't do
much bird cheese anymore. But yeah, okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
What one fridge there? But continue please.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
Because you're on eleven. It's one fifty part three. I
stick at my seven iron to like five feet uphill
putt bury it. Yeah, did you fist poe hundred percent?
Speaker 9 (14:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Do that?
Speaker 6 (14:07):
You bend over, you pull the sock up a little
bit to get the balls.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Unbelievable. What what day was this again?
Speaker 6 (14:12):
Hellos was Sunday you know what about what time of
the day was that? Its local? Probably one o'clock that
would have been about here.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
It was about two o'clock here.
Speaker 9 (14:24):
Yeah, because I thought I heard roars coming from the
southwest right about that, Todd, that was the gallery cheering
you on as you buried the Birdie putt incredible.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
I got to run so that birdie? What hold is
that about that? That was eleven?
Speaker 9 (14:39):
You've never not birdied number eleven at Maricopa Country.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
What's everything? That's the name of.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
The place against Southern Dune, at Southern You've never not
birdied it.
Speaker 9 (14:48):
Anybody said to you, what do you think of the
eleventh hole at Southern Dune.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Just I've never not burdied it. That's all I know.
Speaker 6 (14:54):
I only made uh par par par bogie bogie bogie
par So that's a forty on the back.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
That's nice to go. Well, yeah, especially on vacation golf. Yeah,
you have to bring your clubs. Yeah you do. Yeah.
My wife we were, I was, I talked.
Speaker 9 (15:16):
So this is what somebody said. I just love this
on the on the brow on the Bradshawn bron came.
He in text line, he says, I feel like I've
heard some of this before. Are you live ors this best?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I can't. Yeah, there's nothing. There's probably not much on
the radio that I've said that I've not said before. Yeah,
I was.
Speaker 9 (15:37):
So I'm going on a little bit of a golf
trip here. We're going to head out to California. I
think I'm gonna write a song called going to California.
And I had to do some tetris packing in the
car if we were going to take the car, we
end up finding one of a baby brother Peter's buddies
is going to take us there and back as long
(15:57):
as I slip them a couple of dollars. So I'm
saving a lot of money from parking at the airport
or doing one of those you know limousines that come
and picture. And if you park at the airport to
do the limousine's two hundred plus. It's like, you know
what I mean, that's probably what the going rate is.
I'm not complaining about the prices. I'd rather not have to.
So I'm gonna, I'm gonna I'm gonna let the guy
twenty bucks and off off I go. They're gonna say
(16:19):
you get twenty bucks, twenty bucks, I didn't have to
do anything. But as I was packing the car, I
had to put two golf travel bags in there, and
I had him stacked on top of each other. And
my wife actually goes, Potato, goes, what do you need
to take both? You don't get it, you don't understand them. Yeah,
(16:40):
I can't use.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Somebody else's golf clubs.
Speaker 9 (16:43):
Do you think do you think capriceoft just grabs one
of BOLDI sticks?
Speaker 6 (16:49):
Of course, because they both shoot from the different side.
Do there to the whole right or they're both left?
But that doesn't matter. Who's player still fitted for you?
Who's a right handed go a shooter on the brock favor?
Speaker 9 (16:59):
I mean, it's not like he's gonna grab rock fabers
hockey stick, right, So but.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Yeah, so it's all good. Well, congratulations, thank you.
Speaker 9 (17:06):
It's nice to be and I really feel like this
might be the first time I feel like because what
it feels like, I just played golf yesterday. It hasn't
been that that long ago. I think I'm gonna have
my a game. I'm looking forward to it. So I
it is, oh, hey, we're behind already, But you know what,
there are no rules you down on holiday we lay
down the law and break it. When Josie comes home,
(17:28):
we'll take a break.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
We'll come back. We got a little disdad.
Speaker 9 (17:30):
Lad Peek at the Purple is next here in the

It's either disconnected or we won't answer, so don't bother.
Then there's booth at kave dot com. Email you know
that's like that. That's going the way to the Pony
(18:28):
Express and the Carrier Pigeon.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
We don't do that. When's the last time you heard this? Yeah, Well,
about a week we did while you were away for
the branch on Bridancave and text line.
Speaker 9 (18:40):
We need another verification code for hip Cricket and it
comes on your email, which I did not have an
email on my phone, so I couldn't do it. So
I went a week without hip Cricket. So I went
back to email. So we were using it, and then
Chad Abbott was the fourth person to attempt to get
(19:02):
to so that I could get an email on my phone.
I've had three other people tried, Oh it's easy. Then
they would do it and they go, I don't know
how to do it. Here, here's your phone back and
Chad Abbott, So now I can check my email on
my phone. So I'm able to now go back to
the Bradshawn Brian cape and text line, which is the
best way to get a hold of us. This one says,
please put a muzzle on your producer for the rest
of the show. We don't need any more talk about
(19:24):
that team to the east of us or from any
of their fans.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
And I get it. I get it.
Speaker 9 (19:30):
He's and well, we're going to talk a little bit
about the Packers. I mean, I look and I'm no
fan of the Packers either. I've said this many times.
And here's what's interesting. I because you are a fan
of that team from out East, a team that I
don't care for at all.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
It doesn't.
Speaker 9 (19:48):
That doesn't prevent me from being friends, co workers, golfing pals.
It should probably, but it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
But we'll talk a little bit of the past.
Speaker 6 (20:01):
I mean, it's not exactly like I'm very high on
the club right now.
Speaker 9 (20:04):
No, No, well, and you still I mean the chances
of green Bay not making the playoffs I think are
slimmed to none, but there still is that.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Chance lose, two Lions win, two Lions take. That's why.
Speaker 9 (20:16):
And I gotta admit, and I know you won't be
offended by this. That's what I'm hoping for, though. I
also will tell you if the kiddies were to back
into the playoffs that way, I'd cock off on the radio,
but it would be false bravado, because they're not going anywhere.
I said that to Steelers Guy texted me for the
Steelers Kiddies game Sunday afternoon. He said, two teams to
(20:41):
eight and six teams that both need to win, and
I said, yeah, but neither team's going anywhere. You know,
I mean, you know, if either team, I mean, yeah,
there's always that chance, you know, if you just if
you catch lightning in a bottle, the moon's in the
seventh house, Jupiter lined with Mars. I suppose Pittsburgh could
hoist to Lombardo, and I suppose Detroit could too. But
you just look at the makeup of the two teams
(21:02):
where they're especially the lines of the injury situation and
their offense not as creative as it used to be
under Ben Johnson and their defense ravaged again by injuries.
You just look at this said, well, they're they're not
going to qualify for postseason play and run past either.
You know, san Fran the Rams, he had a couple
of those teams. They have to probably win what you
have to win a wild card game, got to win
a divisional game, and then you got to win the NFC.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Cheah, they're not gonna win three in a row.
Speaker 9 (21:25):
Your club could, but my club certainly wasn't going to
do so it doesn't even really matter to me, but
it doesn't make it more fun.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
So I could cock off, do the false bravado, or play.
Speaker 9 (21:33):
A year of the cat and then get drilled in
the first round. O, what if you do steal one
in the first one, you get into the divisional round.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
But I would think you're your team all.
Speaker 9 (21:43):
By the way, let's let's let's let's do peak at
the purple brought to you by uh Affordable Electric for
all of your electrical things. And by the way, everybody

So we're gonna see Brosemur tomorrow. And I'm alright with that.
I mean again, you know I've said this before and
I will say it again. I think I don't know
if it's split fifty to fifty with Viking fans or
if it's if it's lopsided either way, I had said
(22:44):
last week, I'd rather see the Vikings play three really
exciting football games highly because I football basically, for the
most part, isn't it it's it's it's it's it's entertainment, right.
I want to be entertained for the three hours I watch.
I don't need routes either way. I don't know the
particularly care for I mean, if if, if the team
is gonna get rout and I wanted to be the
team that my favorite team is playing. And I you know,
I don't like you know, sloppy games or penalty field games.
(23:07):
I'm not a huge fan of fifty one forty seven
games though. I don't really like six three games either.
But I wanted the Vikings to play three exciting games,
have McCarthy show some growth, but lose all three, so
you get a better you get a fourth place schedule,
and then you also get a better draft pick. So
with the kiddies in the in the Vikings tomorrow, may
(23:28):
the worst team lose. I mean that's you know, I said,
made the best team win with the worst team that
I don't really care.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
I don't.
Speaker 9 (23:33):
I honestly don't really have a rooting interest because I mean, hell,
if the Vikings, if the Lines were to win and
the Pack lost to the Ravens, well, then all of
a sudden, he makes the last weekend of the.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Season interesting.
Speaker 9 (23:48):
But I just don't see the Vikings beating Green. Now
is your guy going to play love?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Is he in or out? Do we know?
Speaker 9 (23:56):
Well?
Speaker 6 (23:56):
So he's limited still in the protocol last I've heard.
But the problem is, I mean, especially week eighteen. Let's
say let's say he does play this week and they
beat the lamar less hopefully lamar less Ravens. Now we
don't know if he's in it out yet he correct,
then there will be nothing to play for week eighteen
for the border battle, so they they may start willis
(24:16):
at that yet.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Now what you're talking about, willis.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
The nightmare scenario for me and the deliciousness factor for
everyone else is we lose at home to the Ravens
and then now the Vikings had a chance to play
spoiler where it's winning and losing out and JJ will
be coming back from potentially from his hand injury.
Speaker 9 (24:39):
I here's what I do want to see, And I
said this and I got pushed back as always, because
when you have the esoteric approach and think outside the
box and don't just go with conventional wisdom, a lot
of people have trouble wrapping their arms around. And my
whole theory was in that Commander's game, where probably the
best game.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
That McCarthy played, right, or what was he saying? Then?
Who did they beat the next week?
Speaker 6 (25:06):
Let's see, after the Commander's game they beat They won
two in a row, the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
The Cowboys, they played the zone, so he.
Speaker 9 (25:14):
Played He played well in both games, right, And I
really felt the Commander's game he had command pardon the
pun of the offense and what he was doing. There
were seven minutes to go in the game and the
Vikings are shutting him out, and I thought, I texted
or tweeted Poe Brosemer and people, why would you want
to do that? Well, because his only real NFL action.
I know she's taken a couple of kneel downs in
(25:34):
a snap or two prior to this last game, but
that's Seattle game. He was so bad that the poor kid,
if that's his lasting because he who knows he may
never make a roster again.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
I think he will, but who knows.
Speaker 9 (25:44):
But in the offseason, by his keep, McCarthy, go out
and get another veteran Brosemer does to make the club.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Nobody else picks him up.
Speaker 9 (25:49):
He may never play in the NFL again, and to
have your last taste of the NFL that awful game.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
So give him a chance to play.
Speaker 9 (25:56):
And plus, if you think you might need him sometime downline,
which we do now, by the way, you get him
some more action. I don't think coaches, I just I
think sometimes coaches, and I think it's an all sports,
particular football, they only see as far as what's in
front of their face. They don't look down the future
and say, well, JJ's been brilliant here last seven minutes
(26:19):
of the game. We're just gonna be handing them all
off for the most part. Right, Let's get Brosmer back
in there and let him feel some success, Throw a
couple of passes, hand it off, maybe go to a
scoring drive, and then he'll feel better about himself. And
then if you have to use him, heaven forbid. McCarthy
gets a hairline fracture in his hand. Friends, let's just
say that would happen highly unlikely because he's so durable.
(26:42):
But let's say he does and he has to miss
the Christmas Day game against the Bike. Wouldn't you like
to be able to say, well, the last time Rose
was on the field, he was throwing an underhanded ball
wildly to a Seattle player who ran ninety six yards
the other way. Or did you rather say, completed some passes,
put even a field goal range and had some success
out there. That's the way the esoteric approach works. So
(27:05):
I think Brozeman could be okay, I you know, will
Detroit come out be yeah? You know. My guess is
the as long as you're there, you give it. The
Old College tried and they kind of playing like college jeams.
But I I I'd love to see Brozman play really well.
I think that would be a lot of fun. Be
good for the kid, to be good for the club,
would be good for a disc That lap pick at
(27:28):
the Purple brought to you by your friends at Affordable Electric.
Will take a break, We'll come back with more here
in the Common Man program on the fan.
Speaker 6 (27:38):
The baby's crying is normal. If you're feeling stressed, pause
for a moment. Never shake a baby. Shaking can cause
permanent harm learn more, Never shake mn dot dot com.
Never shake m N dot com.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Nice base, refine this.
Speaker 9 (27:55):
Oh yeah, so baby brother Peter had to give me
a ride to my wife's place of employment. Long story short,
I had to take her car in for something, so
she had mine. She had my keys in her purse
and forgot to take them out. Some baby brother Peter
(28:16):
to drive me over there, and baby brother Peter was
playing Red Hot Chili Peppers. He's in it, and he goes,
Now they were they was that after your time? Or
boy said, well, no, I know who they are.
Speaker 6 (28:28):
Then, well, what's the line in the open of rock
talk it's anything before nineteen ninety.
Speaker 9 (28:37):
Yeah, well it's a five anything that was recorded after
nineteen seventy one. It just doesn't do much for me.
But anyway, I said, he said he was playing something
and it was you know. I told him that when
Cities ninety seven our it's not our sisters station, it's
(28:58):
our second cousin three times removed station. When they went
all digital ten twelve years ago, six seven years ago,
they allowed us. I don't know, you weren't here then.
I don't think when they allowed us to go, and
you know their studios the size of I don't know,
it's fairly decent sized. It's where Diego is now. That
was the city's ninety seventh place, right where they stored
(29:21):
the music. I mean, CD's galore. They let us go
through there and take cause CD's were as they're just
a thing of the past now, right. So I decided, well,
you know what, I want to branch out a little
bit and listen to some music that was recorded after
nineteen seventy one. So I grabbed Red Hot Chili Peppers
(29:41):
and a whole bunch of bands like that from that
era would have been nineties or two thousands or whatever
it was, I don't And it was okay, But baby
brother Peter's.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Into the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Speaker 9 (29:51):
And there's a song called California something or other I
don't know, And then.
Speaker 6 (29:56):
I Sallafornication, perhaps, Well there's that Danny ca California, And yeah,
there was a couple of California.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
A lot of their songs are California based.
Speaker 9 (30:04):
Yes, So I said to him, I said, have you
ever heard California by Going to California by Led Zeppelin?
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Goes no, I said, let's put it on.
Speaker 9 (30:13):
So he kicked it onto the car, and I don't
know if you've ever heard a song. It's an acoustics
song by led Zeppelin. And then Pete goes. He says,
he goes, I didn't know. He I thought he just did, uh.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Hard rock.
Speaker 9 (30:28):
I go, well, no, it's it's a band. He goes, oh,
led Zeppelins. He I said, it's not a guy to
live yet. He had no idea, but he liked the song.
So then I just sent him over the Hills and
Far Away, which is my favorite led Zeppelins.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
But anyway, yeah, what a guy led Zeppelin.
Speaker 9 (30:46):
Yeah, but that is neither here nor there. Text message
came in that says. On November twenty fifth, on one
hundred thousand watt radio, Brett Blakemore said the following, the
Bears won't win another game this year. How's he feeling
about that prediction? Second question, how's he feeling about his
(31:07):
chances in the Preposteros Statement tournament.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
You actually said they'd never win another game this season? Yeah? Yeah,
you were bitter.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
Yeah, they didn't go envious. I feel pretty confident. I
mean maybe this could run. I feel pretty confident. I'm
not going to get into the tournament. Well, here's what
I'll say.
Speaker 9 (31:25):
Here's what I'll tell you. That was a hell of
a football not just the result. A matter of fact.
Here what I'll tell you. And I know there are
Viking fans that could never do this. No matter what,
there are Viking fans. I think that if green Bay
won a game, it would get Minnesota into the playoffs,
(31:46):
and a green Bay lost, it wouldn't get them in.
They would still root against green They'd rather not go
to postseason play if green Bay would win a football game.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
I'm not that way.
Speaker 9 (31:56):
I was gold Packers, Dent, Dent, go Pack go because
if they won, had if they had they beaten Detroit
in Detroit beat Pittsburgh, Minnesota and then Chicago and if
they beat San Francisco. If if green Bay, if Chicago
went one and one, in Detroit went two and oh,
last game of the season would be for the last
playoff spot.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Yeah, it would have been at and Lions probably would
have lost.
Speaker 9 (32:19):
It ended up it didn't matter anyways, because Pittsburgh and
the end of that game was.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
That was weird.
Speaker 9 (32:26):
It was well, there were there were three really good
football games that week. I mean, the Detroit Pittsburgh game,
wasn't really good. It was just a it was just
a crazy ending. I put it in the category of
a loss. That's only the Lions. Only the Lions lose
a game like that when you have first in goal
from the one with twenty five seconds to.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Go and you don't score.
Speaker 9 (32:47):
But the Seattle Rams game was spectacular, though I like
the Bears Packers won better or not so much because
of the result, because I do like to see the
Packers lose. But I was actually pulling for the Packers
in that game because that would have Detroit's chance the
postseason at play was was was less formidable had the
(33:09):
Packers won that game. But I liked the Packer Bears
game because there was a lot of good defense too,
and that the cold weather and all that, and the
Donald and and wat's his face a Stafford through for
almost a thousand yards combined.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
I just I don't I like dev I don't like
bad defense.
Speaker 9 (33:27):
And probably wonder why I like Detroit because in the
game against Pittsburgh they gave up not one but two
forty five yard touchdown our owns and a forty five
yard pass, all forty five yards by some chance. But anyway,
I like the Bears. I you know takeaway. I know
you as a Packer, you probably don't. But see I
can pull myself away from like I've said this. I've
(33:48):
said this over and over the Packers Viking fans don't
want to hear.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Maybe Bears fans don't either. Their license.
Speaker 9 (33:53):
The Packers are really good and they're set up for success.
It seems like for a long time things can change
and hurry, but they're Their roster is so young. There
was a stat and I have it somewhere on my phone.
I wish I could pull it out again. They have
like eighteen players that have been drafted in the past
three four years, and like ten or twelve of them
are starters. Next on that list is Detroit, not quite
(34:15):
as many draft picks that are still with the team
and not quite as many starts. But next and then
it's the Bears and the Vikings are on the bottom
of that. And we all know everybody's well aware if
you've been following that Quasy and O'Connell and the rest
of the staff just haven't done a real good job
of drafting players. But Green Bay's got that's a good
football team. So are the Bears and I here's what's crazy.
(34:37):
And I remember getting ripped for this when the season started.
I said, I think the Bears are as good as
any team in the division that they were going to be.
I just the Ben Johnson effect. The Bears retooled their
offensive line just like the Vikings did. The Bears just
got the better players. Well, we talked about it, and
(34:57):
I think when I've been Mark craigpiece somebody maybe it was.
And then again it could have been Alex Lewis. Somebody
talked about the two linement that the Vikings got haven't
really panned out. Two guys for the Bears, one of
them I think is going to the Pro Bowl and
the other one is is Is has been really good
all season long. So you have a really good offensive line,
(35:19):
they have a decent running game, and williams now seems
to be he makes better decisions and it's easier to
make better decisions and not hanging onto the ball as
long or you can hang on to it even a
titch longer when you've got a good offensive line protecting you.
That's a good football team. So I can get behind
the Bears, I really can. But yeah, for the for
(35:40):
the for the for the vikings and the lines. There's
there's a lot of They gotta take a long, hard
look at themselves to see where they're headed going. Next year,
you saw the story about the Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Are they're moving. They're not going to be in Kansas
City anymore? Yeah.
Speaker 9 (35:54):
Headline Associated Press Dave Skretta writes the story for AP
Chiefs move to Kansas leaves Missouri fans heartbroken over another
NFL franchise leaving dateline Kansas City, the state of Missouri
losing its third NFL franchise in the second in the
past decade, and the decision by the Chiefs to depart
(36:15):
their longtime home at Arrowhead for a new dome facility
in Kansas may hurt the most, which makes sense. Saint
Louis Rams had didn't when they won a big game?
Were they in Saint Louis? They were right, I.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Want to say they were with Warner. Yeah, I think
that was Saint Louis based. There was what other teams
did they This is the third losing the Chiefs. Did
they lose the Rams twice? They did? Did the Rams
come and go no?
Speaker 9 (36:45):
Or no? The Saint Louis Cardinals went to Arizona, so
the Saint Louis Cardinals go to Arizona. The Chiefs announced
their intention to move after Kansas lawmakers approved a bond
package earlier in the day to help pay for the
new facility. It will be built near Kansas Speedway in
a real retail district known as the Legends in Kansas City, Kansas,
(37:08):
only about thirty miles from Arrowhead, but a distance that
has perhaps not felt so far, And there's all sorts
of quotes from here for fans or crying they're devastats,
Like well, to me, it's like, yeah, I mean, I
get it, they're not going to be in Missouri proper.
But it would be like if the Vikings decided they
were going to play their games and you know, move
(37:31):
their stadium down to Canon Falls.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
It's not that big of a deal.
Speaker 9 (37:34):
It's still you could still get there. I think they're
still gonna be called the Kansas City Chiefs, right, or
are they going to Kansas City? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Well, I don't think if.
Speaker 9 (37:44):
It's actually in Kansas City, Kansas City, But yeah, is it.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
In Kansas City, Kansas? Is it in Kansas City, Kansas?
Speaker 6 (37:49):
I would assume, So I don't know for a fact,
because there is Kansas City, Kansas. There is in Kansasity, Missouri.
I'd be like, if the Vikings move to like I
don't know, Arden Hills or something, Yeah, well a little
bit for they.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Should have been building at already Hills.
Speaker 9 (38:05):
Maybe this guy, I didn't think it was actually Kansas City,
Kansas proper.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
I thought it was somewhere else. But you don't know.
Speaker 9 (38:10):
But I'm so, I think that's right. Yeah, so, and
I understand, but I to me. And also, it's not
like when the Colts left Baltimore went you know, to Cleveland,
or when the North Stars left and went down to Dallas.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
It's not like they're completely gone.
Speaker 9 (38:27):
You can still get season tickets, you can still go
to the game, and you know, look you can. You
can paint the ownership as the bad guys, and I
think most people do it, and I can if you
want me to. You know it, it ends up more
than anything, really, I think being greed more than anything. Right,
(38:49):
getting a better deal in Kansas in Kansas than you
do in Kansas City.
Speaker 6 (38:57):
I think you're bearing the lead a little bit because
as a Green Bay guy, there's another team that's gone soft.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
They're going Dome. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (39:04):
No, Kansas City has been a cold weather, cold football town.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
You know.
Speaker 6 (39:09):
I can remember the Dolphins going there and it was
like sub zero. And now they're going soft. Yeah going
to the Dome.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Well yeah, I know too. I get that.
Speaker 9 (39:19):
Here's what I'll tell you. I don't think it's you
can say it's going soft.
Speaker 8 (39:24):
Now.
Speaker 9 (39:24):
That's as a fan, I'd much rather be in tottam
to be sitting outside. I mean, I love the frozen
tundra and all of this and the other thing. I
don't mind the players having to play in it.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
There I was.
Speaker 9 (39:36):
I had a wonderful time watching Bears Packers as I
was sitting on my couch with the fireplace going.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
It was wonderful. But here's what I just read. Hold
on and no.
Speaker 9 (39:49):
I'm mad because I don't think I took a picture
off the TV screen. Here it is, You're ready, says
The Chiefs get to keep one hundred percent of the
revenue from all stadium activities, including ticket sales, concessions, sponsorships,
naming rights deals, personal seat licenses, and more. That applies
(40:11):
to NFL games and all other events concerts, basketball games,
et cetera. Kansas will own the stadium with the Chiefs
paying seven million in rent annually, but that money doesn't
go back to the state. It goes into an account
that the Chiefs can use for renovations, repairs, and operating expenses.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
That means the.
Speaker 9 (40:33):
Chiefs can use their own rent money to hire stadium security,
parking staff, and concession vendors throughout the season.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
How do they turn that down? Really?
Speaker 9 (40:49):
You know, you could just say, well, you still should
be loyal to the city and the state that has
been with you forever, because it's not like the Chiefs,
I know, the last ten years have been really really good,
and you know, and they had you know, they won
the Big Game in nineteen sixty nine when they beat
our suit to be Big Game World champion Minnesota Vikings.
But it's hard to blame the Hunt family, isn't it.
(41:17):
I mean, I I it Kansas City had the opportunity
to keep them. They really did, because wasn't it like
it wasn't there like a it was either I think
it was a county wide referendum. I think was the
county whatever county Kansas City is located in.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
Maybe it was state, maybe it was city. I bet
I think it was a county thing.
Speaker 9 (41:39):
They had a vot you want to help them pay
for a stadium fifty forty eight or whatever.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
The final outcome was, I said no.
Speaker 9 (41:49):
And look, I understand. Look at I there was a time.
You know, we've got a lot of.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
Stadium battles here in this in this town.
Speaker 9 (41:55):
We know that there was a time that I was
four stadiums and I was against kids. Because if you're
four stadiums, you have to be against kids because that
money that the state would spend, or the city, or
the county or all three would spend on a stadium
could be.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
Used to help kids.
Speaker 9 (42:14):
Then I was four kids and against stadiums. Once I
had kids, I was like, well, I gotta understand now.
Then I was against both kids and stadiums. I was
against kids against stadiums.
Speaker 1 (42:23):
I was.
Speaker 9 (42:24):
It was wet, blanket Wednesday, seven days a week, three
sixty five.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
Then I said, you know what, I kind of like
stadiums and I kind of like kids too. That's where
I stand right now. I like kids and I like stadiums.
Speaker 9 (42:35):
But when you get an offer like that, and you
can say that the team should be loyal and they
would have stayed and they I don't think they had.
I don't think the deal that they've received from from
the state of Kansas, from Kansas City, Kansas is way
that's a sweetheart of a deal compared to what I
(42:57):
don't think the city of Kansas City, Missouri was giving them,
or the county whatever.
Speaker 2 (43:01):
I don't think they were giving them that much of
a deal.
Speaker 9 (43:03):
I think it would have been you know, look here
here here here in in in Minnesota. I think both
target the bulls, the goose that laid the golden I
hate the Twins Stadium, and then the uh goose that
laid the golden egg two point oh the Viking Stadium.
(43:24):
I think ownership. I don't remember the exact detail.
Speaker 2 (43:27):
I think ownership.
Speaker 9 (43:28):
The Poleads and the Wills both put in a boatload
of money, but they also got a lot of it
paid for. And then they've got other benefits in this
and that and the other thing, and so it's not
as though it's like you know, and again, I I
don't want to make any broadbrush because I don't know
the inside scoop on you know, I don't know do
(43:50):
the Wills get for concerts and stuff that they get
a chunk of that a lot of it, any of it,
none of it. You know, I don't think they're paying
off any I don't think either. The pole heads of
the Wills are probably paying off. They're probably I would
think they they've paid off whatever they had to buy now,
but maybe not. Maybe they're still debt service there. I
don't know how it works, but I feel bad for
(44:16):
for the fans that are in Kansas City.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
Proper, but make a better deal. I vote yes.
Speaker 9 (44:26):
Somebody sent a Texas it's a money grab. Well, yeah,
I know that's what I'm saying. It is a money grab.
And you know, look at you're familiar with Liza Minelli.
Speaker 2 (44:36):
Should I be? Probably not?
Speaker 9 (44:38):
I mean, well, I mean she was you know who
Judy Garland is, Yes, Liza Manella. Liza Minelli is Judy
Garland's daughter, and she was in a movie, a musical
called Cabaret. Life is a caber oh chum, And there's
(44:59):
a song and to call money money makes.
Speaker 2 (45:02):
The world go round, the world go around them. So
my point is.
Speaker 9 (45:09):
Is there anybody out there that if they were in
the same situation, there's probably a handful of you, and
you're very altruistic.
Speaker 2 (45:16):
Can you look up the word altruist, altruistic altruistic.
Speaker 9 (45:21):
Coming to the Grand Casino Arita altruistic along with testicle
torsion altruistic.
Speaker 2 (45:30):
Wow, I don't know why that altruistic?
Speaker 6 (45:33):
Then what is showing a selfless concern for the well
being of others without care for one's own interests.
Speaker 2 (45:39):
There's a handful of people out there that are like that.
Speaker 9 (45:42):
Jesus Santa and the Right Brothers. After that, everybody's out, Okay,
So unless you are, they are probably gonna say nope,
I would take the less money, and I would building
Kansas Santaurans. Okay, if you really believe that, I don't
(46:03):
you know. I'll have to take your word for it
because I don't know you. But I think most people
given their druthers their smother I do know who the
Smothers druthers.
Speaker 2 (46:12):
Are, should I yeah? Okay?
Speaker 9 (46:16):
Really funny brother duo the Smothers Drouthers or are they
the Druthers brothers.
Speaker 2 (46:23):
I think they are the Druggers brothers. Whatever they work,
that's a google in the break. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (46:27):
Anyway, I think most people would take the money, right,
show me the money.
Speaker 2 (46:34):
It's like, come on. So that's their fault for not
it's their fault for not.
Speaker 9 (46:43):
Say yeah, well help well, because you know, I mean,
and I understand people look at it. I was like, well,
it's it's like racketeering. It's it's like it's it's like
a form of kidnapping. They're holding a ransom note either
give us what we want to remove the team. Yeah,
but it's their ball.
Speaker 2 (46:58):
They get to make the rules. Sorry about that.
Speaker 9 (47:02):
We'll pause, we'll come back. Did you do a five
three four? I will can whip up a five three
watching one up Because we got two hours we gotta
get and I got to heat up my lunch and
everything like that, So we'll take a break.
Speaker 2 (47:12):
We'll come back two more hours to go.
Speaker 9 (47:14):
Here on the Common Man Program on a Christmas Eve,
right here on the fan
Head man, common man, common man, don't show pe solid plan,
says secit of broach, ho failt.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
It's time for common.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Man, common man, common man charge the houseworks like no
one can.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Shoot where we play. That's a nonsense. I decidy to man.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
It's time for common man.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Oh boy, 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 the
have not nations and courage and inspire and indeed require
(00:52):
hard work and maximum effort, if we deify the common
man while they encourage and reward the uncommon ones by
the end result of such a lopsided race, as that
is too obvious to require elaboration.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
I mean, it's like, Hello, the time is running out
on damn CLO's round.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Let's go to fifteen, Bob.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Yeah, John Cole has been visibly angry. He's been talking
to himself quite a bit, and it doesn't get any
easier here on the par three fifteen pole at Minnesota National.
This hole is guarded by two bunkers with a big
tree in front of the green. Very challenging t shot.
He's outre to hit a five iron. Here coal on
real pants, fluttering in the wind, mumbling to himself, I've
(01:45):
got to have this shot. Oh that's very well struck,
spinning through the air like a JJ McCarthy pass.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
It's right online, looking good.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Oh my, it's in. I can't believe what.
Speaker 7 (02:01):
I just saw a hole in one for Cole at
the fifteenth and he's pointing at patrons in the gallery shouting,
you doubted me, you doubted me, you doubted me. And
now he's embracing his son Peter. What a moment between
father and son. Here at the fifteenth at Minnesota National.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Bulled on for the first time all day.
Speaker 8 (02:24):
The thunder forced the punt fourth and fifteen and Deuce
takes the long snapping on. Here's Duke snapped it. He
snapped it to the up man. It's Robbie and Robbie
looks surprised. He hasn't seen the football all day. And
Robbie's flag is snatched one. What's he thinking? Now there's
a man. There's a man with a backwards beret running
out on the field.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
While talking on the phone.
Speaker 8 (02:43):
He's yelling at Deuce and I can't and yes, Deuce did,
just yell back. D're insane because he tried to snap
it through the up man the thunder give up the
ball deep in their own territory.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Not sure what Deuce was thinking there. Look, look got
the buck to Milwaukee fraud.
Speaker 9 (03:07):
Yes, he's the clown from brown a fourth in the North.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Is the common Man on the Common Man program.
Speaker 9 (03:21):
We owe which all of you, all of our listeners,
and I want to thank each and every one of you.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Well.
Speaker 9 (03:28):
I think I had five listeners with that five or
four sounds more like three six seven, whatever the case
may be. I'm common Brett Blake Moore in today for
tennebe who's off a bit early. A lot of people
are getting a early start to the to the holiday season.
It is Christmas Eve, Christmas Day tomorrow than the day.
And then is it called black Friday? No, it's good Friday.
(03:50):
No good Fridays at Easter season, black Fridays after Thanksgiving.
I get all my special days mixed up. I will
say this, though you heard the sound by of the
Taste's box and masters hails justin Guard doing the one
word deuce.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
He held, you're insane.
Speaker 9 (04:06):
I mean, yeah, he was only like six seven years old.
And but and of course that was all. I don't
know if you you probably realized this, but maybe you don't.
That was not a real play by play highlight. That
was what that Yeah, that game wasn't being broadcast anywhere,
(04:26):
and somehow it morphed into football. It sounded like to
me this was at a soccer game. Douce never played
for My boys, never played foot. I didn't discourage them
from playing football, but I didn't encourage them either, because well,
you you see how cte hello, you know, and anterior crucierant,
(04:51):
anterior cruciate ligament tear this exterior interior and tier you know,
it's it's it's a very physical and violent game that
I could leave people crippled. So I thought it would
be better off if they didn't. And I think they
learned that after watching. They said, I think the old
(05:14):
man's right. So they chose basketball for baby brother Peter,
hoops or hoops for yeah, hoops for a baby brother Peter.
Douce started with soccer, and then he moved on across
country and track. But in that soccer game, you know,
I'm in my launch air and he did I don't
remember what it was, but it was just an awful
play on his part. And he looked over at me
(05:36):
because it was right in front of me, and I
looked at him. I kind of gave him this, you know,
that quizzical look where you kind of tilt your head
and you look and you're like, dude, what was that?
And that's where I mean And it was probably I mean,
because he is only six seven and it probably wasn't
the thing to do. And he give them that kind
of a look because it's really not that big idea.
But I was just I was astounded that he could
(05:57):
make such a awful whatever he itemmember he made some
bad decision, asked when he yelled at me as lot
as he.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Goes here, it's sane. I always loved that.
Speaker 9 (06:06):
One of my proudest moments as a parent, because I
played football both sides of the ball. Fierce pass rushing rockets,
belta runs stopping defensive line, and precise rut running pass
catching titan.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
And I've told this story before.
Speaker 9 (06:19):
I knew once I got to seventh grade, when I
was no longer fierce pass rushing rocket gibralter run stopping
defensive linemen, a precise rut running su of pass catching
tight end.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
That I wasn't big enough for that.
Speaker 9 (06:29):
So when I got to seventh grade and all the
weight classes were together, every kid from you know, if
you were seventy five pounds to three hundred pounds, and
they said, well, you can't play on the line anymore
or tight and you.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Have to be defensive back. And I was. It wasn't trained.
It wasn't any good. Rosen would have been great. He's
a great backpeddler. I was not right. I moved forward
and I rarely changed my mind.
Speaker 9 (06:49):
And I realized right away that what people like like,
players like me, what we were for. We were the
tackling dummies and the blocking sleds for the for the
first stringers, I said, oh, I see how this words,
because I was never going to see the field right
third string sued up on game day A hundred w
me over on the sideline. But you don't, you know,
(07:11):
it's sort of like the end of the bench with
the Timberwolves or any NBA team. You ain't seeing the game,
ain't no chance you know it. You don't even break
a sweat matter. But I I'm assuming there are guys
in the NBA that during warm ups, the guys at
the end of the bench that go, I'm not going
to really warm up real hard because I don't want
to break a sweat and have to shower before I
go home. I just want to be able to take
my unifrom off and go right, which is the way
(07:34):
I would approach it. You know, a stitch in time
saves six or seven, and so I would want to
save the time. So so that's why I got out
of it early. Man, I said, I'm done, And you
know what, No knee replacements, no hip replacements, no cte
that I know of. However, the trail I did go down.
(07:55):
I jumped off the straight and narrow, went down the
long and winding, and that that consisted of a whole
multicolored galaxy of uppers and downers and screamers and laughers.
Did you know there's nothing more to pray than a
man in the depths of an ether bench. So maybe
I have long term damage from altering my mind.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (08:18):
I don't I don't think i'd Some people would say
listening to me and say, well, yeah, that's that's obvious.
Just you know, I don't know if you listen to
air air checks. You know, there was a time where
you'd sit down with the boss and then you'd play
back your show and they'd go over what you did.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (08:36):
We used to do employee reviews here too, though we
haven't done one of those in decades. Why bother can't
teach an old dog new tricks? You know, gotta stop
winging it. We don't need a wet blanket Tuesday, And
it's going to be tough to do wet blanket Tuesday
on Christmas Eve.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
It's hard.
Speaker 9 (08:52):
But here's what I want to ask you. Mary and
Joseph ended up staying in a manger, right the baby
Jesus was born in a manger.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Because there was no room at the end. That's Joseph's fault.
I pined on it.
Speaker 9 (09:07):
I mean, how do you decide to go on vacation
in a major metropolis like Bethlehem without a reservation.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
It's gonna roll into town, hey, looking for a room?
Need one with plan? These things need one with.
Speaker 9 (09:25):
I don't know if I'm gonna need the bassinette but
we kind of think so. And she's quite a ways along,
and they go, we ain't got no rooms. We're full
at the end. Hey, there there, there's there's some sheep
herders just outside of town.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Go try there.
Speaker 9 (09:42):
Maybe maybe they got a baila, Hey you can use
and lo and behold, we three kings from Orient are
and and he was born. I think Jesus had Mary's eyes,
but he had God's nose. Well, I mean that's all
I can That's.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
All I can assume. Well, we've got a lot to
get to today.
Speaker 9 (10:06):
Birth of the Baby Jesus. A critical NFC Northern Division. Wait, yeah,
uh a plane out the string Northern Division collision tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
At the bank.
Speaker 9 (10:20):
It's a white out. We got that to get to.
There's a whole slate of NFL games. Uh huh, wild
Blues again going into the Uh. They're not actually going
into a break. They're getting a break from home because
we have the.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
World Junior what does it call?
Speaker 9 (10:33):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
World Jewels?
Speaker 9 (10:34):
World Juniors is being played here in town over at
the at the Grand Casino. U the reson box anymore, right,
not the fuse box anymore.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Wolves win.
Speaker 9 (10:48):
All they do is take care of they're taking care
of business every day, and then the holiday tomorrow, what's
everybody going to get? And all this and that? So
I don't even know where to begin today, I really don't.
So why don't we spend the wheel of topic.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Brett's golf game. Oh and you recently played? You mentioned that? Yeah?
And where where did we play? What did you shoot today? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (11:20):
It was a Sunday, It was an eighty five.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Where did we play? At auction?
Speaker 6 (11:24):
In southern dunes in Maricopa, Arizona?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Where'd you hit it on one?
Speaker 6 (11:30):
A little left? But we're on grass, which down there,
that's all that counts.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
So did you bring a rock club with you? I
brought two of them.
Speaker 9 (11:37):
I learned early in in golfing in Phoenix or anywhere
in the.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Desert, bring a rock club.
Speaker 9 (11:44):
Usually bring two, a seven iron and a three iron.
And because you don't want to take your brand new, beautiful,
expensive golf clubs and try to hit it off the rocks,
that's not good.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
I mean, I get tools, not jewels. But yeah, having
a desert club or two is a good thing. Far
from the green, I want to say, I had about
a nine, Kim, you had a McCarthy out, Yes, that's correct,
that's the technical term. Second shot pulled it into the
green side, bunkercarthy, that's also wide left.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Then what went bunker to bunker? Then what bunker to bump?
You're just say bumper to bumper? Were you working at
the Danburg Show?
Speaker 6 (12:22):
I don't think there's a rim shot on this.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Let me guess you made a double.
Speaker 9 (12:24):
I did, But then you must have turned it around
because eighty five is a nice number.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
I did so the round before that, I shot like
the worst round of twenty twenty five. And so then
I make double on one. I'm thinking, well, here we
go again. So I loosen her up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I go on a round.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
Bogie par bogie, par par bogie par nice.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
We're rolling.
Speaker 9 (12:46):
If you make nothing worse than bogie on a golf course,
you'll generally post a good score because you're.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Abound to make a handful of pars.
Speaker 9 (12:55):
And if you just don't make doubles and triples.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
You'll have a good score.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
What happened then, So at the time I can feel
me starting to get a little tired double on nine, thinking, oh,
you're getting it. I sometimes if I don't eat I
gotta I need some food, so I get food at
the turn, Bogie, Birdie, there's a It was like a
one fifty par three.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
What did you get at the turn to eat some tenders?
They just had some chicken tenders.
Speaker 9 (13:21):
There. You've got scartandos down? Did you what kind of dipping?
Let me guess you did a honey mustard?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
I just did play. Oh you are you know the.
Speaker 9 (13:28):
Same way I I don't really like I'm kind.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Of a purist.
Speaker 9 (13:30):
I mean, if I was going to do a dipping sauce,
I'm probably more of a uh.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
I would do like some kind of a ranch.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
You know.
Speaker 9 (13:40):
Actually, the very best of dipping sauce pretty much for
anything is like blue cheese. Oh yeah, I don't do
much bird cheese anymore. But yeah, okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
What one fridge there? But continue please.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
Because you're on eleven. It's one fifty part three. I
stick at my seven iron to like five feet uphill
putt bury it. Yeah, did you fist poe hundred percent?
Speaker 9 (14:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Do that?
Speaker 6 (14:07):
You bend over, you pull the sock up a little
bit to get the balls.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Unbelievable. What what day was this again?
Speaker 6 (14:12):
Hellos was Sunday you know what about what time of
the day was that? Its local? Probably one o'clock that
would have been about here.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
It was about two o'clock here.
Speaker 9 (14:24):
Yeah, because I thought I heard roars coming from the
southwest right about that, Todd, that was the gallery cheering
you on as you buried the Birdie putt incredible.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
I got to run so that birdie? What hold is
that about that? That was eleven?
Speaker 9 (14:39):
You've never not birdied number eleven at Maricopa Country.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
What's everything? That's the name of.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
The place against Southern Dune, at Southern You've never not
birdied it.
Speaker 9 (14:48):
Anybody said to you, what do you think of the
eleventh hole at Southern Dune.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Just I've never not burdied it. That's all I know.
Speaker 6 (14:54):
I only made uh par par par bogie bogie bogie
par So that's a forty on the back.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
That's nice to go. Well, yeah, especially on vacation golf. Yeah,
you have to bring your clubs. Yeah you do. Yeah.
My wife we were, I was, I talked.
Speaker 9 (15:16):
So this is what somebody said. I just love this
on the on the brow on the Bradshawn bron came.
He in text line, he says, I feel like I've
heard some of this before. Are you live ors this best?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I can't. Yeah, there's nothing. There's probably not much on
the radio that I've said that I've not said before. Yeah,
I was.
Speaker 9 (15:37):
So I'm going on a little bit of a golf
trip here. We're going to head out to California. I
think I'm gonna write a song called going to California.
And I had to do some tetris packing in the
car if we were going to take the car, we
end up finding one of a baby brother Peter's buddies
is going to take us there and back as long
(15:57):
as I slip them a couple of dollars. So I'm
saving a lot of money from parking at the airport
or doing one of those you know limousines that come
and picture. And if you park at the airport to
do the limousine's two hundred plus. It's like, you know
what I mean, that's probably what the going rate is.
I'm not complaining about the prices. I'd rather not have to.
So I'm gonna, I'm gonna I'm gonna let the guy
twenty bucks and off off I go. They're gonna say
(16:19):
you get twenty bucks, twenty bucks, I didn't have to
do anything. But as I was packing the car, I
had to put two golf travel bags in there, and
I had him stacked on top of each other. And
my wife actually goes, Potato, goes, what do you need
to take both? You don't get it, you don't understand them. Yeah,
(16:40):
I can't use.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Somebody else's golf clubs.
Speaker 9 (16:43):
Do you think do you think capriceoft just grabs one
of BOLDI sticks?
Speaker 6 (16:49):
Of course, because they both shoot from the different side.
Do there to the whole right or they're both left?
But that doesn't matter. Who's player still fitted for you?
Who's a right handed go a shooter on the brock favor?
Speaker 9 (16:59):
I mean, it's not like he's gonna grab rock fabers
hockey stick, right, So but.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Yeah, so it's all good. Well, congratulations, thank you.
Speaker 9 (17:06):
It's nice to be and I really feel like this
might be the first time I feel like because what
it feels like, I just played golf yesterday. It hasn't
been that that long ago. I think I'm gonna have
my a game. I'm looking forward to it. So I
it is, oh, hey, we're behind already, But you know what,
there are no rules you down on holiday we lay
down the law and break it. When Josie comes home,
(17:28):
we'll take a break.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
We'll come back. We got a little disdad.
Speaker 9 (17:30):
Lad Peek at the Purple is next here in the
common Man program along with Brett Blake Moore right here
in the fan.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Minnesota becomes a world stage this winter. There's only twenty
six and the way. The twenty twenty six IHF World

Speaker 9 (18:07):
That or we have various ways for you to reach
us here at at the Fan one eight hundred three
to two zero fifty three twenty six. That's our phone number,
one eight hundred three to two zero fifty three twenty six.
It's either disconnected or we won't answer, so don't bother.
Then there's booth at kave dot com. Email you know
that's like that. That's going the way to the Pony
(18:28):
Express and the Carrier Pigeon.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
We don't do that. When's the last time you heard this? Yeah, Well,
about a week we did while you were away for
the branch on Bridancave and text line.
Speaker 9 (18:40):
We need another verification code for hip Cricket and it
comes on your email, which I did not have an
email on my phone, so I couldn't do it. So
I went a week without hip Cricket. So I went
back to email. So we were using it, and then
Chad Abbott was the fourth person to attempt to get
(19:02):
to so that I could get an email on my phone.
I've had three other people tried, Oh it's easy. Then
they would do it and they go, I don't know
how to do it. Here, here's your phone back and
Chad Abbott, So now I can check my email on
my phone. So I'm able to now go back to
the Bradshawn Brian cape and text line, which is the
best way to get a hold of us. This one says,
please put a muzzle on your producer for the rest
of the show. We don't need any more talk about
(19:24):
that team to the east of us or from any
of their fans.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
And I get it. I get it.
Speaker 9 (19:30):
He's and well, we're going to talk a little bit
about the Packers. I mean, I look and I'm no
fan of the Packers either. I've said this many times.
And here's what's interesting. I because you are a fan
of that team from out East, a team that I
don't care for at all.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
It doesn't.
Speaker 9 (19:48):
That doesn't prevent me from being friends, co workers, golfing pals.
It should probably, but it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
But we'll talk a little bit of the past.
Speaker 6 (20:01):
I mean, it's not exactly like I'm very high on
the club right now.
Speaker 9 (20:04):
No, No, well, and you still I mean the chances
of green Bay not making the playoffs I think are
slimmed to none, but there still is that.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Chance lose, two Lions win, two Lions take. That's why.
Speaker 9 (20:16):
And I gotta admit, and I know you won't be
offended by this. That's what I'm hoping for, though. I
also will tell you if the kiddies were to back
into the playoffs that way, I'd cock off on the radio,
but it would be false bravado, because they're not going anywhere.
I said that to Steelers Guy texted me for the
Steelers Kiddies game Sunday afternoon. He said, two teams to
(20:41):
eight and six teams that both need to win, and
I said, yeah, but neither team's going anywhere. You know,
I mean, you know, if either team, I mean, yeah,
there's always that chance, you know, if you just if
you catch lightning in a bottle, the moon's in the
seventh house, Jupiter lined with Mars. I suppose Pittsburgh could
hoist to Lombardo, and I suppose Detroit could too. But
you just look at the makeup of the two teams
(21:02):
where they're especially the lines of the injury situation and
their offense not as creative as it used to be
under Ben Johnson and their defense ravaged again by injuries.
You just look at this said, well, they're they're not
going to qualify for postseason play and run past either.
You know, san Fran the Rams, he had a couple
of those teams. They have to probably win what you
have to win a wild card game, got to win
a divisional game, and then you got to win the NFC.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Cheah, they're not gonna win three in a row.
Speaker 9 (21:25):
Your club could, but my club certainly wasn't going to
do so it doesn't even really matter to me, but
it doesn't make it more fun.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
So I could cock off, do the false bravado, or play.
Speaker 9 (21:33):
A year of the cat and then get drilled in
the first round. O, what if you do steal one
in the first one, you get into the divisional round.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
But I would think you're your team all.
Speaker 9 (21:43):
By the way, let's let's let's let's do peak at
the purple brought to you by uh Affordable Electric for
all of your electrical things. And by the way, everybody

Speaker 2 (22:08):
Oh, it's shockingly affordable.
Speaker 9 (22:11):
Elegants, your reindeer jumping on Donnor onn Blitzen Connor and
Cupid Donner Planner.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Whoever, whatever their names are, I don't know.
Speaker 9 (22:23):
Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Genesis, Exitus, Limiticus, Deuteronomy, Josh, but judges.
So we're gonna see Brosemur tomorrow. And I'm alright with that.
I mean again, you know I've said this before and
I will say it again. I think I don't know
if it's split fifty to fifty with Viking fans or
if it's if it's lopsided either way, I had said
(22:44):
last week, I'd rather see the Vikings play three really
exciting football games highly because I football basically, for the
most part, isn't it it's it's it's it's it's entertainment, right.
I want to be entertained for the three hours I watch.
I don't need routes either way. I don't know the
particularly care for I mean, if if, if the team
is gonna get rout and I wanted to be the
team that my favorite team is playing. And I you know,
I don't like you know, sloppy games or penalty field games.
(23:07):
I'm not a huge fan of fifty one forty seven
games though. I don't really like six three games either.
But I wanted the Vikings to play three exciting games,
have McCarthy show some growth, but lose all three, so
you get a better you get a fourth place schedule,
and then you also get a better draft pick. So
with the kiddies in the in the Vikings tomorrow, may
(23:28):
the worst team lose. I mean that's you know, I said,
made the best team win with the worst team that
I don't really care.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
I don't.
Speaker 9 (23:33):
I honestly don't really have a rooting interest because I mean, hell,
if the Vikings, if the Lines were to win and
the Pack lost to the Ravens, well, then all of
a sudden, he makes the last weekend of the.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Season interesting.
Speaker 9 (23:48):
But I just don't see the Vikings beating Green. Now
is your guy going to play love?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Is he in or out? Do we know?
Speaker 9 (23:56):
Well?
Speaker 6 (23:56):
So he's limited still in the protocol last I've heard.
But the problem is, I mean, especially week eighteen. Let's
say let's say he does play this week and they
beat the lamar less hopefully lamar less Ravens. Now we
don't know if he's in it out yet he correct,
then there will be nothing to play for week eighteen
for the border battle, so they they may start willis
(24:16):
at that yet.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Now what you're talking about, willis.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
The nightmare scenario for me and the deliciousness factor for
everyone else is we lose at home to the Ravens
and then now the Vikings had a chance to play
spoiler where it's winning and losing out and JJ will
be coming back from potentially from his hand injury.
Speaker 9 (24:39):
I here's what I do want to see, And I
said this and I got pushed back as always, because
when you have the esoteric approach and think outside the
box and don't just go with conventional wisdom, a lot
of people have trouble wrapping their arms around. And my
whole theory was in that Commander's game, where probably the
best game.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
That McCarthy played, right, or what was he saying? Then?
Who did they beat the next week?
Speaker 6 (25:06):
Let's see, after the Commander's game they beat They won
two in a row, the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
The Cowboys, they played the zone, so he.
Speaker 9 (25:14):
Played He played well in both games, right, And I
really felt the Commander's game he had command pardon the
pun of the offense and what he was doing. There
were seven minutes to go in the game and the
Vikings are shutting him out, and I thought, I texted
or tweeted Poe Brosemer and people, why would you want
to do that? Well, because his only real NFL action.
I know she's taken a couple of kneel downs in
(25:34):
a snap or two prior to this last game, but
that's Seattle game. He was so bad that the poor kid,
if that's his lasting because he who knows he may
never make a roster again.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
I think he will, but who knows.
Speaker 9 (25:44):
But in the offseason, by his keep, McCarthy, go out
and get another veteran Brosemer does to make the club.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Nobody else picks him up.
Speaker 9 (25:49):
He may never play in the NFL again, and to
have your last taste of the NFL that awful game.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
So give him a chance to play.
Speaker 9 (25:56):
And plus, if you think you might need him sometime downline,
which we do now, by the way, you get him
some more action. I don't think coaches, I just I
think sometimes coaches, and I think it's an all sports,
particular football, they only see as far as what's in
front of their face. They don't look down the future
and say, well, JJ's been brilliant here last seven minutes
(26:19):
of the game. We're just gonna be handing them all
off for the most part. Right, Let's get Brosmer back
in there and let him feel some success, Throw a
couple of passes, hand it off, maybe go to a
scoring drive, and then he'll feel better about himself. And
then if you have to use him, heaven forbid. McCarthy
gets a hairline fracture in his hand. Friends, let's just
say that would happen highly unlikely because he's so durable.
(26:42):
But let's say he does and he has to miss
the Christmas Day game against the Bike. Wouldn't you like
to be able to say, well, the last time Rose
was on the field, he was throwing an underhanded ball
wildly to a Seattle player who ran ninety six yards
the other way. Or did you rather say, completed some passes,
put even a field goal range and had some success
out there. That's the way the esoteric approach works. So
(27:05):
I think Brozeman could be okay, I you know, will
Detroit come out be yeah? You know. My guess is
the as long as you're there, you give it. The
Old College tried and they kind of playing like college jeams.
But I I I'd love to see Brozman play really well.
I think that would be a lot of fun. Be
good for the kid, to be good for the club,
would be good for a disc That lap pick at
(27:28):
the Purple brought to you by your friends at Affordable Electric.
Will take a break, We'll come back with more here
in the Common Man program on the fan.
Speaker 6 (27:38):
The baby's crying is normal. If you're feeling stressed, pause
for a moment. Never shake a baby. Shaking can cause
permanent harm learn more, Never shake mn dot dot com.
Never shake m N dot com.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Nice base, refine this.
Speaker 9 (27:55):
Oh yeah, so baby brother Peter had to give me
a ride to my wife's place of employment. Long story short,
I had to take her car in for something, so
she had mine. She had my keys in her purse
and forgot to take them out. Some baby brother Peter
(28:16):
to drive me over there, and baby brother Peter was
playing Red Hot Chili Peppers. He's in it, and he goes,
Now they were they was that after your time? Or
boy said, well, no, I know who they are.
Speaker 6 (28:28):
Then, well, what's the line in the open of rock
talk it's anything before nineteen ninety.
Speaker 9 (28:37):
Yeah, well it's a five anything that was recorded after
nineteen seventy one. It just doesn't do much for me.
But anyway, I said, he said he was playing something
and it was you know. I told him that when
Cities ninety seven our it's not our sisters station, it's
(28:58):
our second cousin three times removed station. When they went
all digital ten twelve years ago, six seven years ago,
they allowed us. I don't know, you weren't here then.
I don't think when they allowed us to go, and
you know their studios the size of I don't know,
it's fairly decent sized. It's where Diego is now. That
was the city's ninety seventh place, right where they stored
(29:21):
the music. I mean, CD's galore. They let us go
through there and take cause CD's were as they're just
a thing of the past now, right. So I decided, well,
you know what, I want to branch out a little
bit and listen to some music that was recorded after
nineteen seventy one. So I grabbed Red Hot Chili Peppers
(29:41):
and a whole bunch of bands like that from that
era would have been nineties or two thousands or whatever
it was, I don't And it was okay, But baby
brother Peter's.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Into the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Speaker 9 (29:51):
And there's a song called California something or other I
don't know, And then.
Speaker 6 (29:56):
I Sallafornication, perhaps, Well there's that Danny ca California, And yeah,
there was a couple of California.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
A lot of their songs are California based.
Speaker 9 (30:04):
Yes, So I said to him, I said, have you
ever heard California by Going to California by Led Zeppelin?
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Goes no, I said, let's put it on.
Speaker 9 (30:13):
So he kicked it onto the car, and I don't
know if you've ever heard a song. It's an acoustics
song by led Zeppelin. And then Pete goes. He says,
he goes, I didn't know. He I thought he just did, uh.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Hard rock.
Speaker 9 (30:28):
I go, well, no, it's it's a band. He goes, oh,
led Zeppelins. He I said, it's not a guy to
live yet. He had no idea, but he liked the song.
So then I just sent him over the Hills and
Far Away, which is my favorite led Zeppelins.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
But anyway, yeah, what a guy led Zeppelin.
Speaker 9 (30:46):
Yeah, but that is neither here nor there. Text message
came in that says. On November twenty fifth, on one
hundred thousand watt radio, Brett Blakemore said the following, the
Bears won't win another game this year. How's he feeling
about that prediction? Second question, how's he feeling about his
(31:07):
chances in the Preposteros Statement tournament.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
You actually said they'd never win another game this season? Yeah? Yeah,
you were bitter.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
Yeah, they didn't go envious. I feel pretty confident. I
mean maybe this could run. I feel pretty confident. I'm
not going to get into the tournament. Well, here's what
I'll say.
Speaker 9 (31:25):
Here's what I'll tell you. That was a hell of
a football not just the result. A matter of fact.
Here what I'll tell you. And I know there are
Viking fans that could never do this. No matter what,
there are Viking fans. I think that if green Bay
won a game, it would get Minnesota into the playoffs,
(31:46):
and a green Bay lost, it wouldn't get them in.
They would still root against green They'd rather not go
to postseason play if green Bay would win a football game.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
I'm not that way.
Speaker 9 (31:56):
I was gold Packers, Dent, Dent, go Pack go because
if they won, had if they had they beaten Detroit
in Detroit beat Pittsburgh, Minnesota and then Chicago and if
they beat San Francisco. If if green Bay, if Chicago
went one and one, in Detroit went two and oh,
last game of the season would be for the last
playoff spot.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Yeah, it would have been at and Lions probably would
have lost.
Speaker 9 (32:19):
It ended up it didn't matter anyways, because Pittsburgh and
the end of that game was.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
That was weird.
Speaker 9 (32:26):
It was well, there were there were three really good
football games that week. I mean, the Detroit Pittsburgh game,
wasn't really good. It was just a it was just
a crazy ending. I put it in the category of
a loss. That's only the Lions. Only the Lions lose
a game like that when you have first in goal
from the one with twenty five seconds to.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Go and you don't score.
Speaker 9 (32:47):
But the Seattle Rams game was spectacular, though I like
the Bears Packers won better or not so much because
of the result, because I do like to see the
Packers lose. But I was actually pulling for the Packers
in that game because that would have Detroit's chance the
postseason at play was was was less formidable had the
(33:09):
Packers won that game. But I liked the Packer Bears
game because there was a lot of good defense too,
and that the cold weather and all that, and the
Donald and and wat's his face a Stafford through for
almost a thousand yards combined.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
I just I don't I like dev I don't like
bad defense.
Speaker 9 (33:27):
And probably wonder why I like Detroit because in the
game against Pittsburgh they gave up not one but two
forty five yard touchdown our owns and a forty five
yard pass, all forty five yards by some chance. But anyway,
I like the Bears. I you know takeaway. I know
you as a Packer, you probably don't. But see I
can pull myself away from like I've said this. I've
(33:48):
said this over and over the Packers Viking fans don't
want to hear.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Maybe Bears fans don't either. Their license.
Speaker 9 (33:53):
The Packers are really good and they're set up for success.
It seems like for a long time things can change
and hurry, but they're Their roster is so young. There
was a stat and I have it somewhere on my phone.
I wish I could pull it out again. They have
like eighteen players that have been drafted in the past
three four years, and like ten or twelve of them
are starters. Next on that list is Detroit, not quite
(34:15):
as many draft picks that are still with the team
and not quite as many starts. But next and then
it's the Bears and the Vikings are on the bottom
of that. And we all know everybody's well aware if
you've been following that Quasy and O'Connell and the rest
of the staff just haven't done a real good job
of drafting players. But Green Bay's got that's a good
football team. So are the Bears and I here's what's crazy.
(34:37):
And I remember getting ripped for this when the season started.
I said, I think the Bears are as good as
any team in the division that they were going to be.
I just the Ben Johnson effect. The Bears retooled their
offensive line just like the Vikings did. The Bears just
got the better players. Well, we talked about it, and
(34:57):
I think when I've been Mark craigpiece somebody maybe it was.
And then again it could have been Alex Lewis. Somebody
talked about the two linement that the Vikings got haven't
really panned out. Two guys for the Bears, one of
them I think is going to the Pro Bowl and
the other one is is Is has been really good
all season long. So you have a really good offensive line,
(35:19):
they have a decent running game, and williams now seems
to be he makes better decisions and it's easier to
make better decisions and not hanging onto the ball as
long or you can hang on to it even a
titch longer when you've got a good offensive line protecting you.
That's a good football team. So I can get behind
the Bears, I really can. But yeah, for the for
(35:40):
the for the for the vikings and the lines. There's
there's a lot of They gotta take a long, hard
look at themselves to see where they're headed going. Next year,
you saw the story about the Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Are they're moving. They're not going to be in Kansas
City anymore? Yeah.
Speaker 9 (35:54):
Headline Associated Press Dave Skretta writes the story for AP
Chiefs move to Kansas leaves Missouri fans heartbroken over another
NFL franchise leaving dateline Kansas City, the state of Missouri
losing its third NFL franchise in the second in the
past decade, and the decision by the Chiefs to depart
(36:15):
their longtime home at Arrowhead for a new dome facility
in Kansas may hurt the most, which makes sense. Saint
Louis Rams had didn't when they won a big game?
Were they in Saint Louis? They were right, I.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Want to say they were with Warner. Yeah, I think
that was Saint Louis based. There was what other teams
did they This is the third losing the Chiefs. Did
they lose the Rams twice? They did? Did the Rams
come and go no?
Speaker 9 (36:45):
Or no? The Saint Louis Cardinals went to Arizona, so
the Saint Louis Cardinals go to Arizona. The Chiefs announced
their intention to move after Kansas lawmakers approved a bond
package earlier in the day to help pay for the
new facility. It will be built near Kansas Speedway in
a real retail district known as the Legends in Kansas City, Kansas,
(37:08):
only about thirty miles from Arrowhead, but a distance that
has perhaps not felt so far, And there's all sorts
of quotes from here for fans or crying they're devastats,
Like well, to me, it's like, yeah, I mean, I
get it, they're not going to be in Missouri proper.
But it would be like if the Vikings decided they
were going to play their games and you know, move
(37:31):
their stadium down to Canon Falls.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
It's not that big of a deal.
Speaker 9 (37:34):
It's still you could still get there. I think they're
still gonna be called the Kansas City Chiefs, right, or
are they going to Kansas City? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Well, I don't think if.
Speaker 9 (37:44):
It's actually in Kansas City, Kansas City, But yeah, is it.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
In Kansas City, Kansas? Is it in Kansas City, Kansas?
Speaker 6 (37:49):
I would assume, So I don't know for a fact,
because there is Kansas City, Kansas. There is in Kansasity, Missouri.
I'd be like, if the Vikings move to like I
don't know, Arden Hills or something, Yeah, well a little
bit for they.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Should have been building at already Hills.
Speaker 9 (38:05):
Maybe this guy, I didn't think it was actually Kansas City,
Kansas proper.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
I thought it was somewhere else. But you don't know.
Speaker 9 (38:10):
But I'm so, I think that's right. Yeah, so, and
I understand, but I to me. And also, it's not
like when the Colts left Baltimore went you know, to Cleveland,
or when the North Stars left and went down to Dallas.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
It's not like they're completely gone.
Speaker 9 (38:27):
You can still get season tickets, you can still go
to the game, and you know, look you can. You
can paint the ownership as the bad guys, and I
think most people do it, and I can if you
want me to. You know it, it ends up more
than anything, really, I think being greed more than anything. Right,
(38:49):
getting a better deal in Kansas in Kansas than you
do in Kansas City.
Speaker 6 (38:57):
I think you're bearing the lead a little bit because
as a Green Bay guy, there's another team that's gone soft.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
They're going Dome. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (39:04):
No, Kansas City has been a cold weather, cold football town.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
You know.
Speaker 6 (39:09):
I can remember the Dolphins going there and it was
like sub zero. And now they're going soft. Yeah going
to the Dome.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Well yeah, I know too. I get that.
Speaker 9 (39:19):
Here's what I'll tell you. I don't think it's you
can say it's going soft.
Speaker 8 (39:24):
Now.
Speaker 9 (39:24):
That's as a fan, I'd much rather be in tottam
to be sitting outside. I mean, I love the frozen
tundra and all of this and the other thing. I
don't mind the players having to play in it.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
There I was.
Speaker 9 (39:36):
I had a wonderful time watching Bears Packers as I
was sitting on my couch with the fireplace going.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
It was wonderful. But here's what I just read. Hold
on and no.
Speaker 9 (39:49):
I'm mad because I don't think I took a picture
off the TV screen. Here it is, You're ready, says
The Chiefs get to keep one hundred percent of the
revenue from all stadium activities, including ticket sales, concessions, sponsorships,
naming rights deals, personal seat licenses, and more. That applies
(40:11):
to NFL games and all other events concerts, basketball games,
et cetera. Kansas will own the stadium with the Chiefs
paying seven million in rent annually, but that money doesn't
go back to the state. It goes into an account
that the Chiefs can use for renovations, repairs, and operating expenses.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
That means the.
Speaker 9 (40:33):
Chiefs can use their own rent money to hire stadium security,
parking staff, and concession vendors throughout the season.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
How do they turn that down? Really?
Speaker 9 (40:49):
You know, you could just say, well, you still should
be loyal to the city and the state that has
been with you forever, because it's not like the Chiefs,
I know, the last ten years have been really really good,
and you know, and they had you know, they won
the Big Game in nineteen sixty nine when they beat
our suit to be Big Game World champion Minnesota Vikings.
But it's hard to blame the Hunt family, isn't it.
(41:17):
I mean, I I it Kansas City had the opportunity
to keep them. They really did, because wasn't it like
it wasn't there like a it was either I think
it was a county wide referendum. I think was the
county whatever county Kansas City is located in.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
Maybe it was state, maybe it was city. I bet
I think it was a county thing.
Speaker 9 (41:39):
They had a vot you want to help them pay
for a stadium fifty forty eight or whatever.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
The final outcome was, I said no.
Speaker 9 (41:49):
And look, I understand. Look at I there was a time.
You know, we've got a lot of.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
Stadium battles here in this in this town.
Speaker 9 (41:55):
We know that there was a time that I was
four stadiums and I was against kids. Because if you're
four stadiums, you have to be against kids because that
money that the state would spend, or the city, or
the county or all three would spend on a stadium
could be.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
Used to help kids.
Speaker 9 (42:14):
Then I was four kids and against stadiums. Once I
had kids, I was like, well, I gotta understand now.
Then I was against both kids and stadiums. I was
against kids against stadiums.
Speaker 1 (42:23):
I was.
Speaker 9 (42:24):
It was wet, blanket Wednesday, seven days a week, three
sixty five.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
Then I said, you know what, I kind of like
stadiums and I kind of like kids too. That's where
I stand right now. I like kids and I like stadiums.
Speaker 9 (42:35):
But when you get an offer like that, and you
can say that the team should be loyal and they
would have stayed and they I don't think they had.
I don't think the deal that they've received from from
the state of Kansas, from Kansas City, Kansas is way
that's a sweetheart of a deal compared to what I
(42:57):
don't think the city of Kansas City, Missouri was giving them,
or the county whatever.
Speaker 2 (43:01):
I don't think they were giving them that much of
a deal.
Speaker 9 (43:03):
I think it would have been you know, look here
here here here in in in Minnesota. I think both
target the bulls, the goose that laid the golden I
hate the Twins Stadium, and then the uh goose that
laid the golden egg two point oh the Viking Stadium.
(43:24):
I think ownership. I don't remember the exact detail.
Speaker 2 (43:27):
I think ownership.
Speaker 9 (43:28):
The Poleads and the Wills both put in a boatload
of money, but they also got a lot of it
paid for. And then they've got other benefits in this
and that and the other thing, and so it's not
as though it's like you know, and again, I I
don't want to make any broadbrush because I don't know
the inside scoop on you know, I don't know do
(43:50):
the Wills get for concerts and stuff that they get
a chunk of that a lot of it, any of it,
none of it. You know, I don't think they're paying
off any I don't think either. The pole heads of
the Wills are probably paying off. They're probably I would
think they they've paid off whatever they had to buy now,
but maybe not. Maybe they're still debt service there. I
don't know how it works, but I feel bad for
(44:16):
for the fans that are in Kansas City.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
Proper, but make a better deal. I vote yes.
Speaker 9 (44:26):
Somebody sent a Texas it's a money grab. Well, yeah,
I know that's what I'm saying. It is a money grab.
And you know, look at you're familiar with Liza Minelli.
Speaker 2 (44:36):
Should I be? Probably not?
Speaker 9 (44:38):
I mean, well, I mean she was you know who
Judy Garland is, Yes, Liza Manella. Liza Minelli is Judy
Garland's daughter, and she was in a movie, a musical
called Cabaret. Life is a caber oh chum, And there's
(44:59):
a song and to call money money makes.
Speaker 2 (45:02):
The world go round, the world go around them. So
my point is.
Speaker 9 (45:09):
Is there anybody out there that if they were in
the same situation, there's probably a handful of you, and
you're very altruistic.
Speaker 2 (45:16):
Can you look up the word altruist, altruistic altruistic.
Speaker 9 (45:21):
Coming to the Grand Casino Arita altruistic along with testicle
torsion altruistic.
Speaker 2 (45:30):
Wow, I don't know why that altruistic?
Speaker 6 (45:33):
Then what is showing a selfless concern for the well
being of others without care for one's own interests.
Speaker 2 (45:39):
There's a handful of people out there that are like that.
Speaker 9 (45:42):
Jesus Santa and the Right Brothers. After that, everybody's out, Okay,
