Speaker 1 (00:00):
A head, common man, common man, no show PEP, no
solid plan, says they aren't. We can't be a securit
a broach will fail to in. It's time for common man,
common man, common man, challenge your houseworks like goe, can
(00:21):
you shoot where we play?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
That's nonsense.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
I'm back today duty. It's time for common Welcome back
to the spot by young men.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Why should anybody aspire to be a common man an
average man? Do you realize what it means to be average?
That means you're the best of the lousiest and the
lousiest of the best. Now, if we demand more and
more for producing less and less while they have not
nations and courage and inspire and indeed require hard.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Work and maximum effort.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
If we deify the common man while they encourage and
reward the uncommon ones, a land result of such a
lopsided races that is too obviious to require elaboration.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
I mean it's like, hello, you know, I didn't like
the way we were playing in Sack, so I just told, hey,
you're gonna live and down with me. Don't nobody like it.
Sit jazz down right here, don't come out here. But
we're coming through me. You know that's why I like
(01:26):
Sam to come in. You know, I let them do
those things for three quarters, come fourth quarter.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
Bring it to the ticket, Ladies and gentlemen, we're seeing
what a sophisticated offensive meame playing looks like you talking about.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I said, what are you looking at? He's already hurt.
Speaker 6 (01:53):
I want to make him an off again, get ridding.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
There's an old saying in Tennessee. I know it's the
test prom Tennessee that they'll pool me once. Shame on you,
Shame on you.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
The pool.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
You take a pool again? Well, pop talk, we'll hoop back.
Nobody care? Are you miracles?
Speaker 6 (02:29):
Do you find this funny? Mister Grow? You're smiling? Do
you find this humorous? Well or not? Do you find
this humorous? Mister Grow? You're laughing and smiling. I'm just
wondering if you do. You don answer my question, mister Grow?
(02:51):
Do you find this humorous?
Speaker 4 (02:52):
No?
Speaker 6 (02:52):
I find it four years ago? At least you're not
smiling and laughing.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Now.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
Oh, I guess you're back at it again.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Both wearing women's underwear a part of your twn?
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Got it?
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah? Baby? What if it were? You don't know nothing
ain't that the buckle up baton dollar hatches. He's the
clown from Brown, He's the fourth in the North. This
is the common man, Dan Cole, and technologically and that
(03:24):
this is day four or five that I will.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Be without Hip Cricket. For those of you wondering what
hip Cricket is, it's it's the the app or the
company whatever it is that that provides us with the
Brad John Brian Kafan text line. And I now I
need a second authenticator code and I have to have
my email for that.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I don't have my email on my phone.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
And I know, you know tennyby what He's really not
even paying attention right now, but he would just roll
his eye, shrug his shoulder and shake his head about
the inability of me to get my my email on
my phone. Six months ago, two people in this radio
station tried. I was just explaining it to one of
our sales guys, Clayton. He said, I can get it done.
I said, how long? Six minutes?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
He had to hand it back to me. He says,
we'll have to work on it after after you get
off the air.
Speaker 7 (04:18):
You know, I could just for the record for your
email on your phone. You're going to an account executive
to help you out well.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
But they all say it's easy to do the other tours,
try like an IT guy or engineer guy. So everybody
that puts their email on their phone goes to an
IT guy.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
I just think that would be it would be the
most likely to be able to troubleshoot issues.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I guess I think they did you try healthy Helvy
gave me a tip on something else. He knows a
guy who knows a guy on something else. No, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I didn't try healthy helps me with my boomer stuff.
I think I think Helly may have been one of
the people that tried it not long ago and yeah,
six months ago and it didn't work. So again I
know that it's just you know, oh, let's poke fun
of common again. The booler can't do anything for himself,
and I can't do it for myself. But you know,
when I try to explain people, maybe it's not as
(05:16):
easy as you say it is, and they laugh at
me again, and I'm the butt end of all the jokes.
But then you come to find out. I'll even go
back to when I return my Apple phone because it
kept saying shut your apps down, I said, if I
haven't turned them wife for some time, you and everybody
laughed at me and said it was just a boomer.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I said, it's draining my battery. I got a lot
of enemies.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
They're draining in all my energies, and my battery was
draining because of the apps opened up.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
And then it was a week later, front page story in.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
The Technological News, Apple having to recall phones because their
batteries are draining.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
So it wasn't me and I went and turned my
Apple phone back in. I had it for a week.
I was pressured peer pressure for my boys.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
They said, well, you gotta be Apple and bringing apple, Apple,
Apple app.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Well, no, it's the apple of my eye, and Apple
a day keeps the doctor away. That has nothing to
do with it. And I'm sure Apple is a fine product.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
A lot of people log a lot of people like apple,
a lot of people like oranges, a lot of people
like bananas. And yes, we have no bananas. We have
no bananas today. Though you were once worrying a pair
of banana underpants. Baby brother Peter said, banana on your pants? Really,
But that's a whole nother story of itself. So if
you'd like to contact the common man today, We're gonna
do it the old fashioned way. Sixteen hundred Judica Avenue,
(06:35):
South Saint Louis Park five five is it?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Three four one?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
If you send me a letter today, I should probably
get it by tomorrow and maybe I can have it
on the that's that's the other way we're gonna do it.
Or there's a booth at cafe and dot com, which
I know you have to do an email now. The
text message is the greatest thing, it really is.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
I remember when.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Text message first came to phone and the secretary of
nightlife sent me a text. He was the first person
ever sent me a text, and I said, I'm not
a thirteen year old girl passing notes in class. If
you want it, communicate with me, have to call. And
then I finally came around and said, it's the greatest
(07:19):
thing ever because then you don't really have to talk
to anybody on yours. Do you have I don't think
you do. Let me look, I can check. I can
answer my own question. I send you a text, it
just says delivered. You don't have it clicked where I
can see if you've read it or not?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Right, Yeah, not that I know of. Oh do you
know about that function? Kind of? But I don't do it.
I don't partic in it myself. Well, go to healthy
you'll explain it to you. If I wanted to do it,
that's where I would go. Just don't go. But I
just wondered if you knew what it was. Sure you
do know what it is? I mean I don't use it,
but yes, Oh I've heard of it.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Yes, because I like it. I like to know if
people have read my texts or not. I think a
lot of people. See I was assuming you're one of
those people. Is I'm going to look at it. But
if I don't want to respond right away, that I
can't lie and say I never saw your text. Well no,
I can tell you saw my text because it said
it was read. So that's what people that are afraid
(08:18):
of other people about. Well I don't want to respond
to right away or it's a touchy situation. It's like, well, no,
either you read it or you didn't. So with me,
does it say on your phone or is this only
a Samsung thing? Nice that I've read your message?
Speaker 6 (08:31):
No?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Really, Nor do I know if you've read my message? Oh?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
I read all, I'm I'm, I'm, I'm Johnny. I. I
rarely don't read the only time I don't read a
text message. The only person that reads text message is
more quickly than me is meat sauce. You send a
text message to meets us, he will respond. You hit
send within literally three seconds. You see those little bubbles,
those little dots that come, you know, that rotate around
(08:58):
saying he's typing. He already responded to me today. But
yeah and so and not everybody has the And I
think the reason is people are they it either you're
(09:20):
you don't in case it's a text that you're uncomfortable
with or don't have the proper response for. Or like
let's say I said, hey, Tenna, how about you and
I drive up the brainer together, and you're like, if
you see that, right, if I see that you've read it,
I know you're thinking about if you don't get back
to me right away. I know there's you're thinking. But
if it just says delivered and I don't know if
(09:40):
you've read it, then you can.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Go, God, how am I going to tell me? I
don't want to go? What can I do?
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I can tell them I'm sorting socks, or I can
tell them that I'm watching paint dry or they're delivering
a boiling hot bat of asphalt. I let people know
what you and so anyway, I just I just I
had text messages the best thing ever.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I just love it. I just it's it's, it's, it's, it's.
And you were the last to jump on that band.
It was one of the very few last to jump
of that one. I'll just think if you get email
on your phone, I guess I explained. But here's the
here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
If if you if you don't, I mean, you could
hit your red button, you know, if you could just
put put that you've read, you've read that, letting the
person that sent you an email know you've read it.
If you would just put that on your phone, we
can go back and forth on that all day.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
You don't do that.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I don't do emails because I don't I see, unlike,
I don't need email other than to communicate with salespeople.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
And clients and so. And I don't need to have
that right away immediately. I just changed. Sometimes you might
need to have that immediately.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I've never no, I've never had to How long have
we had email twenty years. I've never had to have
one immediately ever. Never I've never had a salesperson or
a client say, didn't you.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Get my email? Haven't you ever?
Speaker 7 (11:00):
We've gotten Ah, you know, we have a work meeting
all of a sudden that was called on like a
half hour before the meeting, and it was emailed everybody,
and then you don't see it.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I'm not showing up. I'm thirty minutes short notice. I'm
not you plan your meetings earlier. What if it's an emergency,
then they're gonna have to call me and put me
on zoom because I ain't.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
I'm not dropping everything. I do zoom on your phone.
If I'm out, Oh sure absolutely.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
If I'm out at at if I'm on six seven
over at Prestwick and the and my and my good friend,
uh Donnie Linquist who runs the place, tells me got
a meeting at tenth, Well, no I can't. I'm I'm
(11:45):
playing golf. You should have told me earlier, plan your
meetings earlier, so I I no, I don't need to
have it. I know it probably pains you that you
have to have email, and I don't. I know that
bothers me here's another thing that bothers people that I
don't need to prepare for my show. I can just
come in and start winging it, and it bothers other
(12:06):
people because they.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Have to put hours of preparation into their show. Sorry,
I'm an actural.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Got the first segment killed already, and now how entertaining
it was remains to be seen.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
We'll get a report card in a few weeks and
we'll find out if only you could read text messages
to see how entertaining it was.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I can't because I because I because I was given
a I have to have a a second authenticator. What
are they gonna tell us we need a third and
then a four? People complicate things way too much.
Speaker 7 (12:46):
Will you're gonna like get some sort of laser thing
on your eyeballs to make sure you are the one
that's reading it.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
That's like, that's exactly it. That'll be the next step.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
There's so much to get to today, but we're not
going to spend the wheel the topic, but there's plenty
to get to to the other side of the break.
We'll do peak at the Purple. I want to get
back to the wolves and the board thing. The more
I think about it, the worse it gets. And then
there's another quote, and then there's the O'Connor stuff with
the quarterback. So there's plenty of we'll do with the
O'Connell thing next. I'm just astounded by it. I'll just
(13:18):
tide on the break. We'll do Peak at the Purple
right here on the Common n program.

Holiday card for meat sauce and kel sauce. Not yet
mine was hand delivered. That's why maybe you're not on
the list. Well, he asked for my address, so maybe
he's just going to mail it.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
He's been mailing in his entire career, so why we're
gont mail close Serga to meets us. You're not the
first talk show host to have a kid.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
So we just always say to people, no, it's a
very cute card.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Oh Ry Christmas, Happy holidays, love Paul Kelly and louis
very nice.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
It's one of the things we go through. Do you
do this at your house?
Speaker 4 (14:38):
You know?
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Since my wife and I've been together.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Living in sin for about five years, and we got
married nineteen ninety nine and then we partied like it
was in nineteen ninety nine, and over those years, we've
had a list of people that we send holiday cards to.
And every day when of my wife starts putting out
the holiday cards, it's do we want to send one?
You want to send one to? And I've slowly but
(15:04):
surely whittled away on the list. I mean, and I
think your family's next. I just wanted to say it,
but you know, you do. After a while, it's like, well,
I don't really ever talk to that person anymore. And
then there is the point where my wife wants to
do a Christmas card with the kids, and I love that,
but when they were grown adults.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Now when they're you know, twenty two and twenty. Yeah,
do we really need to see our own family?
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Do we really need to send ten to be a card? Now?
With you with your kids?
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Still?
Speaker 1 (15:32):
What ten? Eight six?
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (15:33):
What it is? I? Eleven eight five, eleven eight five
eleven eight five is different?
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (15:39):
You see the chair changing every year? Right? Yeah? Where
with do some baby brother people?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Did I tell you that if I showed you my
latest license plate picture, I look like.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
A serial kid. I did it purposely. The woman even said,
do you want to retake us that you want to
redo it?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I said, no, it's perfect. She just kind of rolled
her eyes, shrugged her shoulder, and shook her head. So
I seduced some baby brother Peter fall In. They've they've
they've followed my lead because if the driver's license picture,
you know, why would you have a big smile in
your face?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I always I just want to used to tell the driver.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Now I don't even explain it, but I used to
tell him, well, no, why would I smile? Because when
I hand my driver's license to the police officer.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I'm not going to be smiling. So he's gonna go,
that's not you, right, who smiles? And hey, all was there? Thanks?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Yeah, just when I was looking for one hundred dollars ticket.
Thank you, watch my insurance rates go up. I'm so
happy gonna give.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
You a hug. So you're going to have a disgruntled
look on your face.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
So I want to see, he goes as Matches, that's you,
So Deuce and baby brother Peter Bolt dude, just the
kind of non committal, kind of loser look, you know,
and just kind of with your mouth kind of a gaye.
Then Deuce says, the people in his running group, you know,
the people he runs with from high school that he
still hangs out with, they all do it, and then
(17:04):
they send pictures to each other and collect all the
pictures that just look like you look like you're a
wanted poster, like a mugshot. It's just the silly things
that keep me, that keep me amused. And speaking of
text messages and using those to gauge whether the segment
was good, that's what you said, well manage if you
(17:26):
get your email your.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Bhe blah blah. Here's what one of my.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Close personal friends who listens to the grum h come
Hecker high Water and he sent me a personal text
to my maybe I should just get my phone or
her out over the air and have people text me
during the show.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Then again, maybe not.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
This is what my friend says, sensational first segment today.
My favorite common man segments include random thoughts from the
one and only Crushed a segment from can't get into
my two form authentication into texting delivered versus red blah blah.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
It's called killing a segment, and I mean really killing it,
just I mean beating it till it's bloody and there's.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Nothing left in it.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Peek at the Purple brought to you by our friends
at Affordable Electric. They wish you happy holidays. They're an
electrifying kind of a place. Whatever your electrical needs may be.
I highly recommend my friends at affordably Electric if you
have electrical needs here so it works. Affordable dash Electric
dot Com, Affordable dash Electric dot Com and remember, here.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
We go, they are shockingly affordable.
Speaker 6 (18:39):
Stop already.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
So yesterday we didn't have the head coach, right is
that correct? Because we had so many other things. Well,
he was doing for Football Weekly. Yeah, so he was
on during goal for Football Weekly. So we did not
have the head coach. But Apparently he was asked about it.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
It's official JJ McCarthy will be starting his seventh game,
his first in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Or is it one week? Is he just out one week?
Or was out two? He just missed one? He missed
one week.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Officially his seventh game of his young National Football League career,
and we don't know how.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Long that career is going to be.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Is the game he's playing this Sundays at the beginning
of the beginning of the beginning of his career, Is
at the middle of the beginning.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Of the beginning or is he Is it possible he's
at the beginning of the middle of the end. You know,
we just don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
But the question was asked something about what do you
want from McCarthy and what's what's what are the issues here?
Speaker 1 (19:40):
And here's what he said. It's purely about decision making
at this point.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
I want him to have a clear head and a
clear mind to just go play, but play with an
understanding of the decisions that I make have to be
of the utmost importance.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Because we learned our turnover number is where it is
of winning formula.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I don't want them overthinking or worrying about if the
fundamentals need to be changed. Let's just make throws. Let's
just throw and catch. Let's just play with great rhythm
and understanding of the plan. And I hope that works.
And that's the approach. And again, look, you and I
(20:23):
Tendaby were never there during the interviews or I don't
know if you participated in.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
What do they call that in Indianapolis.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Combine whether you know I obviously did a personal tryout
and the training camp, and it says, but it's like
when you if you don't, you would think you would
have the technical part of the game already figured out
by I spent all those years at IMG and he
played college football, so you would think he had. But
(20:53):
apparently he doesn't have all the fundamentals figure out. But
the coach seems to be obsessed with eyes and feet,
eyes and feet and all the fundamentals. And so now
he's basically saying, though, just go play, don't worry about
the fundamentals anymore.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
We're gonna work.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
They've even said they're dumbing down the play, not just
for him but for everybody. That was the word one
of the Vikings running backs shoes was dumbing it down.
They've kind of dumbed it down for us. And here's
the analogy I'll use, and it might be a flawed one,
but I'll use it anyways. Tendeby the game that you
(21:32):
and I both love and a door golf you could
probably find one like Freddy Couples. You could say, perfect
golf swing. And if you could teach somebody to swing
exactly like Freddy Couples in his prime, that's what you
would do. But not everybody can be Freddie Couples. So yeah,
I mean one of the weirdest wings of all time
Jim Furick, Right, Jim Furiic had that weird thing with
(21:53):
his wrists where he kind of goes like this, and
Sergio used to flex his fingers for a minute before
he and Tiger goes at it one way and he
changes the swings, like.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Is there a one size fits all for quarterbacks?
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Too?
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Is there only one way to look at my Would
anybody teach what mahomes does? Be way down low, like
you're you know, what's that thing where they put the
bamboo stick.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Out and you try to go on?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Yeah, would anybody say get into a limbo position and
roll out right and throw it across your body and
see if you can hit Kelsey over there.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Well, you would never teach that, but you don't go
to mahomes. They don't do that. That's wrong. You gotta
be your eyes, you feed your hands with and so
let the kid play how he plays. No, you could
still and I know again, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
We'll see how much this helps on Sunday a game
you'll hear on this radio station coverage at ten be
here for the pooch at twelve. Maybe just telling him
to just go out and have fun and play football,
play like you used to play.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Maybe that will help free him up.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
And I certainly hope so, because if he is it's
like Tenneby, you and I have talked about this. If
you're thinking about swing McCann on the tee, you're pretty
much due. You might hit one or two good ones,
like he's made a handful of good throws, But most
of the.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Time, if he's back there, okay, I gotta line up.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
You know, it's going so fast that if he's dropped

a line, he's done.

So you do that during the offseason, Yeah, you don't
do that during games, So maybe that will help.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
I mean, last week I was, I was, I was
excited to see Brozemberg to see what he was like.
We saw that that was in. That's pretty much an
abject failure that did not work well.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Now I am curious to see with this new approach
where it's just go out and throw the football, try
to complete passes.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Maybe that will help.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Maybe he'll just go out there and you're playing you know,
like sandlot backyard football League. Right, we'll see how it
works again. You'll hear the game on this radio station
if you like.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
Ah Wolves, it's been a peculiar season to this point.
They beat teams at losing records and lose to teams
with winning records. For the most part, there might be
one is it outlier that's the word, right, might be
one or two outliers.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
They may have lost a game to a.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Team of the losing record, and they may have won
a lost a game to it, or won a game
I guess a team with a winning record.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
For the most part, that's what's been happening here. In
this past two nights ago, they beat a really bad
New Orleans.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Pelicans team in which I think the Pelicans had won
something like three games.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Leading into that day.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
There, guys, Williamson, He's he's the Byron Buxton of the NBA.
Right never plays has he ever played more than thirty
forty games in a season.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
He's out again. Now he's never healthy.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I think I saw while we were on the area
yesterday they were they were talking about Williamson, you know,
on ESPN on some you know, NBA to Day show
or something, and I could have swore what I read this,
Like in his contract, he's.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Got like a weight cloth. That's them are good. No,
that's not good. When you got to tell a guy
look at it. We'll look the video game clause for
Kyler Murray, we'll give you twenty percent more of you.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
It was broken down how much money he gets in,
like twenty percent of his moneys if he comes in
in shape.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
How sad is that?
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Don't you're a professional, they're paying you big money. Don't
you want to be in you know, don chitch finally
got shamed into it, right, he got traded because he
was fat. That's the reason he was traded. He was
fat and couldn't play defense.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Now his.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Remarkable offensive ability, I think it's sort of you know,
you got to take the good with the bad, right,
and he was so good and still is so good offensively.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
You just have to go, well, we have to just
accept that he's he's chubby.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
That doesn't want to get on the treadmill, but then
he didn't get on the treadmill and he's playing as
far as Ian. At least he started the season red hot.
I don't know what he's doing now. I know the
Lakers are. I think the latest power ranking is that
we did not go through lazy list Radio. Maybe we'll
do that before the week's over because you know me,
But I think they're like the third best team. I
think that might have been the Athletics power rankings, either
(27:35):
Athletic or Cbsports or ESPN or NBA dot.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Com over is. So he must still be playing very
very well.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
But after they lost to Oh by the way, I
have a interesting relationship with the basketball community in town.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
I get.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
That's why I wish I could get my hip cricket
Slash messages up and running again, because anytime I pick
on the Wolves, I just hear it from.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Six seven people that are like, yeah, yeah, you know,
you don't understand the game. Why don't you stick to
Gulf lo Their You know, yeah, you never pick on
the Wolves.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
You never say, or the Wild. You never say the
Wild never tried us, because the Wild do try. But
I've seen I received some apologies finally from the basketball
community after I guess it it it It took a
quote from the head coach for people to realize that
I've been spot on the whole time. We talked about
(28:40):
this quote. The other day, we talked about it with Roseen.
I think this was maybe we did this that Toys
for Tots or maybe it was just yesterday. But here's
what Finch said. Through one quarter of the season, the
Wolves defense has been This is not him talking.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
This is the lead up to his quote. There's a
fish rep factory west side.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Through one quarter of the season, the Wolves defense has
been inconsistent at best. Their number twelve rating is not
good enough for the standards they know they can reach.
Before the game, coach Chris Finch used the right word
to describe how the team looked at that on that
end of the floor.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Quote kind of started the season a little board. I'll
read that again. Kind of started the season a little board.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
That's not something that you want to admit to, but
a team that's had two deep runs, I think we
just maybe started the season a little bit flat and
boared and just realizing you got to put the work in.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
It's going to be tough.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
This is going to be brutal, and we just had
to get back to playing better defense. Of course, then
they went out this is the story continues. Then they
went out and barely played any in the first half,
where New Orleans posted sixty eight points, one of the
worst teams.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
In the NBA.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
And I guess bored is the word I've sort of
been searching for because in my in my I'm exhausted
by it. In my it's an exercise in futility because
they don't listen and they don't care what I have
to say. They don't even know why I exist. I
would think most of the players, the players on the team,
(30:07):
But one of the things I said recently was it
almost seems like if you know you're vastly superior to
the other team, you are bored. You just you don't
give it. You just go, well, we can beat this
team at any time. It's just another game in the
middle of the week. And they and what I always
want to tell us, but yeah, but people are paying money.
You're an entertainer. You're supposed to give your best effort
(30:28):
three or four nights a week. Do you think the
lead playing Romeo in Romeo and Juliet comes in and says,
I'm just gonna mail it in tonight.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
I'm bored with the role. Well, no, he puts everything
he has into it.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Chris Hockey goes up on stage with Rocket Club or
Flaming Armadillos or whatever band. He's got five six different bands,
Chris Hockey band. Do you think he's I'm gonna mail
it in tonight?
Speaker 1 (30:58):
I'm bored. No, people are paying money, play hard.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Just look at the Thunder and just use them as
an example of a team that gives everything they got.
And it's not just the coach quotes from ant Let
me dial them up. This is from the athletics story.
This is from our good friend Johnny Krazinsky. Here's what
(31:25):
Johnny Krasinski wrote the other day. I'll score all down
to the the quotes from Anthony Edwards. And by the
way Edwards played brilliantly, I mean he played. He played
the entire fourth quarter. Usually he sits out the first
six seven minutes of the fourth quarter to get to
(31:49):
get to get a blow and then he finishes strong.
Speaker 6 (31:51):
Right.
Speaker 7 (31:52):
It was his Jack Morris Game seven ninety one game
he refused to be taking off the cart.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Except circumstances weren't quite as important this season. Maybe it's
the Pelicans, but yeah, you're right, Yeah, so the Pels.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
We called him.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
I didn't realize we called him the Pels. That's what
uh Johnny Christis calls him the Pels. The lack of
name recognition in the rotation has been a problem all
season for the Pels, but it may have been an
advantage on Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Now listen to this. There are These are the kinds
of teams that have plagued Edwards in the past.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
If he's not aware of a player's credentials, that opponent
can sneak up on him. Coaching staff as it always does,
provide it in a detail pregame scuttering report. But the
Pelicans lack of star power seemed to have dulled the
wolves blade going into the game.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Here's what Ant said. They don't have a go to guy.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Everybody out there just playing free, you know, because they
don't have a go to guy. Here's what else antswaid.
Finchy told us we can't just wait for the playoffs
to start playing defense yet to tell them, because apparently
the team thought we can just wait till the playoffs start,
(33:07):
then we can start to play defense and no need
to do it now. These eighty two games don't mean anything.
And again, when you've made deep runs, as the coach said,
I guess you'd become more. I guess it's human nature.
Finci told us we can't just wait for the playoffs
to start playing defense. I'm really not worried about it.
Once we get to where we trying to get to.
(33:28):
It's now when it's super important. It seems like we
don't want to play these games. We just want to
fast forward the season to the playoffs and then play
all out defense and play super hard. It's just don't
work like that. We got to be ready to play
on any given night. And it starts with me. I
came out kind of sluggish. I'll be better next game.
And usually he does. The one thing you can say
(33:50):
about anthe remember he's been living rent free in my
head for five seasons now, because I think, to me,
sometimes his approach to the game is maddening.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
It really is.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
But he has a wonderful talent. As we know, he's
a top ten player, maybe top five. I mean, there
are some people that wouldn't trade him. There are some
media people that would not trade him for anybody in
the league, including Victor Webanyama. And maybe they were right
because wemen Yama.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Has been injured. But what's what's wrong with this picture?
Speaker 2 (34:28):
It's and you know I, like I said, I guess
this is human answer. When you made two deep BRUEs
another long season, well, then find a different line of work.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Try ten to b five days a week. Fifty will
you take about two weeks vacation? Maybe three? Let's say
you take Let's say you take your full four.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Forty eight weeks of the sluggish grind of working with
the common man every day.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
But do you give it your best?
Speaker 4 (34:51):
Debt?
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Maybe you're a bad example, but no, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
It's like everybody's everyone should be hard to get up
for a basketball game. It should be you're playing a
child's GA six months out of the year and you yeah,
and you're extremely wealthy.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Yeah money that will get you to the grave Foo
for making more than thirty I just life.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Yeah, And like I say, if it was just pick
up basketball when no one was paying attention, won't do
whatever you want. I don't care, right, and who cares
what you do? If you and me and and Greg
Coleman and jg are playing golf, and I decided to
not try very hard.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
So it's just on me. It's just a recreational game
of golf. It's no big deal. But you do try.
But I do try. When I play old men hockey,
I give it my all. You give it, you're all,
you're a somebody. And yet well I don't understand how.
Speaker 7 (35:47):
No, maybe basketball is a little different because, let's face it,
only a percentage of the population is going to go
play in the NBA because you have to be a
certain height and then you have to have a CERTA.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Did I get my text message?
Speaker 4 (35:58):
Get it? Well?
Speaker 1 (35:59):
It just popped up up. Ah, someone figuring it out.
Well I didn't, So how did it happen?
Speaker 7 (36:06):
Probably healthy or one of the engineers close circuit to
issue with this.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Me, isn't it a bit pot kettle for common to
call anyone out on lack of effort?
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Comment? This is what he said? My responsibly, Well, there's that,
and it would be that would be my response. Well
there's that.
Speaker 7 (36:30):
But like I don't understand how to get to the NBA,
you have to have a certain competitive fire to you,
right like you you've had to put in a certain
amount of work over the years to get there, and
then you get there and you don't give it your all.
I don't understand like you think your makeup would be.
I'm going to give it my all at all time.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Yeah, And like you say, especially when it's six months
out of theyear, three or four nights a week, two
and a half hours a night, and when you're tired,
you put your hand and they bring you back out.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
It's fun, it's cool.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
You're idolized and pedestalized. Big money, you're doing the antic laws.
Have you seen his ads?
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Is that? Who is that for?
Speaker 2 (37:02):
I don't even I can't even recall ants inside of
a sleigh delivering gifts, slam dunking into the chimney.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Have you seen this commercial on Team?
Speaker 6 (37:11):
I have not.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
It's really good.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Wo And then the people and why then they then
they say, well, I don't know what I'm talking about,
and you're wrong, And and it's because I know you
love the Wolves and you want it and you've been
in Milla. They've brought us too western nice playoff runs,
better runs than we've seen from any team in this
other than the Frost Go for women's basketball a few
(37:39):
years back when they were winning titles and the links.
It seems like the gals try harder and care more
figured out. They've got it all figured out. Now, why
did you take my hip cricket away? Oh it's back again.
Someone says, elevate the scrotum. Maybe that's what they need
to do, is elevate the scrotums before the.
Speaker 7 (37:57):
Games from the corner's office and you're welcome. They also
said it was obviously Crutch was needed.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Wow, I always love him.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
Do you think there's another program director in the country
who would criticize, in demean one of his highly picked,
one of his highly successful.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
One of his.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Talk show hosts while the show's on, and basically tear
him apart. It's it's astonishing to me. Maybe maybe the
program director's bored. Maybe he's got some Minnesota timberwolf in him.
He's bored, so he's decided to go after me. Here
(38:47):
on the text mess also, what took so long? You've
had this issue for weeks?
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Well there's that.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
Yeah, I've been waiting for someone to help me. I
just asked for a little help, little guidance.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
I want to get bye with little help from your friends.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
I don't ask for much. See here's one of the
hockey community. It's going to be I'll give this one
to you again. Why doesn't Caprisov give it all? Give
it is all on defense?
Speaker 1 (39:12):
He does give it at all. He does.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
He's just not as good at defensive players about that.
He's more of a forward player.
Speaker 7 (39:17):
He's not a bad defensive he's not a bad defensive.
But I mean it's like a minute left in the
game they put him on the ice. Yeah, so they're not.
This isn't like Obetchkin fifteen years ago, where you're up
a goal last minute that they're not putting you on
on the ice. He plays quite a bit in no circumstances.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
This one says, here you complaining about the Wolves mailing
it in and you and can't about ten minutes of
getting your text message access figured out.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
That was That was like coming out of the gates fast.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
You heard the text message those That's the kind of
the tier that people expect from me. Just a lot
of blather about nothing. It's a show about nothing. Seinfeld
stole that bit from me, just like McAfee stole the grum.
Seinfeld stole that bit from me. It's to show about nothing.
There's just the way there's you know, we'll dabble a
little in some sport. We're talking of sports right now,
(40:08):
and I just why are people on my side on this?
If you're a basketball fan in general and specifically a
Wolf fan, don't those quotes, if not anger you, at
least mildly annoy you, or at least make you roll
(40:31):
your eyes, shrug your shoulders and shake your head. They're bored.
They don't care about these It seems like we don't
want to play these games. We just want to fast
forward the season of the playoffs and then play all
out on defense and play super hard.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
All right, enjoy the process. As to the Randy Moss play,
when I want to play.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Dave Tentis, he's in the White bear Lake High School
Hall of Fame. Played golf at Houston, played in the Masters,
was on a Walker Cup team. Terrific talent. Just retired
from a happy retirement day. Just retired as the head
golf professional over at Troy Burn. Played in a number
of PGA championships, including over hazelting World's caddied for played
(41:18):
at Hazel team made the cut.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
Blah blah, blah and worlds gave me a copy date
a ten point.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
Reminderless that Dave had in one of them to remind
him of how to approach the game of golf because
it's such a mental game, and one of them, and
this is the one I always try to remember. Enjoy
the process, because I don't know if you're like me, Tennay.
A lot of times I'm just so fixated on the
final score in that whole results. Yeah, yeah, what am
I going to get? Got to get a part here,
(41:54):
got to get a parberd. He don't want to make
a ball game. He certainly don't want.
Speaker 1 (41:56):
To make a double.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
Instead of just enjoying standing on the tee and then
whispering in the rube's ear as Tenneby's.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
About to hit the ball, he looks just like who
is it that I always say, you look like Adam Scott?
Speaker 2 (42:09):
He looks just like Adam Scott up until impact, enjoying
the camaraderie with the people throwing up the grass and
looking at the yardage, and you know how when you're
getting ready to put you kind of shuffle your feet
like this.
Speaker 1 (42:20):
Enjoy the whole thing, enjoy running.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
Yes, and try not to squint when the sun is shining,
and enjoy writing the scores down on the car.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
Just enjoy the whole process.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
And that's what apparently these these basketball players have trouble with.
Enjoying the process and enjoy the process of the regular season.
Enjoy showing up, you know, you know, like you'll see
him show up at basketball games or football games. They'll
always have the camera out showing them come in and
(42:52):
they're all dressed in the coolest clothes ever.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
Right, they'll have their fashion statement.
Speaker 2 (42:56):
I mean they're wearing hundreds hundreds of thousands of dollars,
well not one hundreds of thousand, but they're wearing the
latest and greatest fashions. Right, they got their sunglasses on
and all their jewelry and come and walking in and
you know they go in and how you get to
get undressed with your buddies and laugh and then there
you know, there's gonna be great food for you after
the game, and there's somebody there to if you go
(43:17):
need the back's a little tight, Hey, I'm gonna get
the massage therapist to work that out for me. Then
you get to put on your sneakers and lace them
up and joke with the guys and you go out
there and then the fans are cheering in warm ups,
you're knocking down shots and it's just like, okay, for
two and a half hours, let's go play lay as
hard as we can. The Thunder do it, and they
(43:38):
won a world championship. You would think if anybody would
be more it would be the Thunder.
Speaker 1 (43:41):
They should have the championship.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
Hangover right now, Close circuit to Finch, Pas, Finch on
all the time, right close circuit to Pa. Can you
tell Finch, I'll come and talk to the club you
want me. If you want somebody to tell them, tell
them like it is or how it's supposed to be,
I'll do it.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
And then when they win the ship, I hope for
a ring, PA's.
Speaker 2 (44:11):
Gonna get one with the butt. He's gonna have to
wait a while to get that ring. But I would
love to be considered extended family member of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Speaker 1 (44:24):
But I just I they're bored. I just want to
They don't even want to play these games. And I
know what he said. He said, it seems like we
don't want to play these games.
Speaker 2 (44:36):
But sometimes seeming is reality, right, It seems like, well,
it's because that is the way it is.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
You just you're just a name. I don't That's why
I can't get really behind the club, you know. I mean,
I still like see him win.
Speaker 2 (44:51):
Maybe they can change their ways, start winning games, start
playing more like the thunder.
Speaker 1 (44:55):
At least giving if you give it one hundred ten.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
To me, it's so cliched, right, If at first you
don't succeed, try try, try again or whatever, or find
it or cheat, you know whatever. But if you're at
least giving it, there are nights you're not gonna have it.
The other team is going to be better than you.
They're gonna be nights where the shots don't go out.
The basket looks like. There are nights when it looks
(45:20):
like a rainbarrow. There's other times it looks like a thimble.
Same thing in golf. Right when you're putting, sometimes you
look at the whole looks like a rainbarrow. I can't
miss putting better than eighty five percent of the players
on tour.
Speaker 1 (45:31):
There's other time it looks like a thimble. You know,
there's no way that putt is going in.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
There's no chance that happens at basketball but then you
have your teammates to rely on and golf, it's strictly you.
It's not like I'm gonna have tend to be put
this one for me. Of course, I don't know if
I want them to do that, but anyway, we'll see
if it gets better. Here's this text, my pussess tell
the Wolves players I on board paying hundreds hundreds of
(45:58):
dollars to go to their game. Yeah, once that starts,
we'll break.
Speaker 1 (46:09):
We'll come back. When we do, it'll be time for five, three, four,
ten or what you got for. We had a court
storming last night
A head, common man, common man, no show PEP, no
solid plan, says they aren't. We can't be a securit
a broach will fail to in. It's time for common man,
common man, common man, challenge your houseworks like goe, can
(00:21):
you shoot where we play?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
That's nonsense.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
I'm back today duty. It's time for common Welcome back
to the spot by young men.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Why should anybody aspire to be a common man an
average man? Do you realize what it means to be average?
That means you're the best of the lousiest and the
lousiest of the best. Now, if we demand more and
more for producing less and less while they have not
nations and courage and inspire and indeed require hard.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Work and maximum effort.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
If we deify the common man while they encourage and
reward the uncommon ones, a land result of such a
lopsided races that is too obviious to require elaboration.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
I mean it's like, hello, you know, I didn't like
the way we were playing in Sack, so I just told, hey,
you're gonna live and down with me. Don't nobody like it.
Sit jazz down right here, don't come out here. But
we're coming through me. You know that's why I like
(01:26):
Sam to come in. You know, I let them do
those things for three quarters, come fourth quarter.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
Bring it to the ticket, Ladies and gentlemen, we're seeing
what a sophisticated offensive meame playing looks like you talking about.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I said, what are you looking at? He's already hurt.
Speaker 6 (01:53):
I want to make him an off again, get ridding.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
There's an old saying in Tennessee. I know it's the
test prom Tennessee that they'll pool me once. Shame on you,
Shame on you.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
The pool.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
You take a pool again? Well, pop talk, we'll hoop back.
Nobody care? Are you miracles?
Speaker 6 (02:29):
Do you find this funny? Mister Grow? You're smiling? Do
you find this humorous? Well or not? Do you find
this humorous? Mister Grow? You're laughing and smiling. I'm just
wondering if you do. You don answer my question, mister Grow?
(02:51):
Do you find this humorous?
Speaker 4 (02:52):
No?
Speaker 6 (02:52):
I find it four years ago? At least you're not
smiling and laughing.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Now.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
Oh, I guess you're back at it again.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Both wearing women's underwear a part of your twn?
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Got it?
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah? Baby? What if it were? You don't know nothing
ain't that the buckle up baton dollar hatches. He's the
clown from Brown, He's the fourth in the North. This
is the common man, Dan Cole, and technologically and that
(03:24):
this is day four or five that I will.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Be without Hip Cricket. For those of you wondering what
hip Cricket is, it's it's the the app or the
company whatever it is that that provides us with the
Brad John Brian Kafan text line. And I now I
need a second authenticator code and I have to have
my email for that.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I don't have my email on my phone.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
And I know, you know tennyby what He's really not
even paying attention right now, but he would just roll
his eye, shrug his shoulder and shake his head about
the inability of me to get my my email on
my phone. Six months ago, two people in this radio
station tried. I was just explaining it to one of
our sales guys, Clayton. He said, I can get it done.
I said, how long? Six minutes?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
He had to hand it back to me. He says,
we'll have to work on it after after you get
off the air.
Speaker 7 (04:18):
You know, I could just for the record for your
email on your phone. You're going to an account executive
to help you out well.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
But they all say it's easy to do the other tours,
try like an IT guy or engineer guy. So everybody
that puts their email on their phone goes to an
IT guy.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
I just think that would be it would be the
most likely to be able to troubleshoot issues.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I guess I think they did you try healthy Helvy
gave me a tip on something else. He knows a
guy who knows a guy on something else. No, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I didn't try healthy helps me with my boomer stuff.
I think I think Helly may have been one of
the people that tried it not long ago and yeah,
six months ago and it didn't work. So again I
know that it's just you know, oh, let's poke fun
of common again. The booler can't do anything for himself,
and I can't do it for myself. But you know,
when I try to explain people, maybe it's not as
(05:16):
easy as you say it is, and they laugh at
me again, and I'm the butt end of all the jokes.
But then you come to find out. I'll even go
back to when I return my Apple phone because it
kept saying shut your apps down, I said, if I
haven't turned them wife for some time, you and everybody
laughed at me and said it was just a boomer.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I said, it's draining my battery. I got a lot
of enemies.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
They're draining in all my energies, and my battery was
draining because of the apps opened up.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
And then it was a week later, front page story in.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
The Technological News, Apple having to recall phones because their
batteries are draining.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
So it wasn't me and I went and turned my
Apple phone back in. I had it for a week.
I was pressured peer pressure for my boys.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
They said, well, you gotta be Apple and bringing apple, Apple,
Apple app.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Well, no, it's the apple of my eye, and Apple
a day keeps the doctor away. That has nothing to
do with it. And I'm sure Apple is a fine product.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
A lot of people log a lot of people like apple,
a lot of people like oranges, a lot of people
like bananas. And yes, we have no bananas. We have
no bananas today. Though you were once worrying a pair
of banana underpants. Baby brother Peter said, banana on your pants? Really,
But that's a whole nother story of itself. So if
you'd like to contact the common man today, We're gonna
do it the old fashioned way. Sixteen hundred Judica Avenue,
(06:35):
South Saint Louis Park five five is it?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Three four one?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
If you send me a letter today, I should probably
get it by tomorrow and maybe I can have it
on the that's that's the other way we're gonna do it.
Or there's a booth at cafe and dot com, which
I know you have to do an email now. The
text message is the greatest thing, it really is.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
I remember when.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Text message first came to phone and the secretary of
nightlife sent me a text. He was the first person
ever sent me a text, and I said, I'm not
a thirteen year old girl passing notes in class. If
you want it, communicate with me, have to call. And
then I finally came around and said, it's the greatest
(07:19):
thing ever because then you don't really have to talk
to anybody on yours. Do you have I don't think
you do. Let me look, I can check. I can
answer my own question. I send you a text, it
just says delivered. You don't have it clicked where I
can see if you've read it or not?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Right, Yeah, not that I know of. Oh do you
know about that function? Kind of? But I don't do it.
I don't partic in it myself. Well, go to healthy
you'll explain it to you. If I wanted to do it,
that's where I would go. Just don't go. But I
just wondered if you knew what it was. Sure you
do know what it is? I mean I don't use it,
but yes, Oh I've heard of it.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Yes, because I like it. I like to know if
people have read my texts or not. I think a
lot of people. See I was assuming you're one of
those people. Is I'm going to look at it. But
if I don't want to respond right away, that I
can't lie and say I never saw your text. Well no,
I can tell you saw my text because it said
it was read. So that's what people that are afraid
(08:18):
of other people about. Well I don't want to respond
to right away or it's a touchy situation. It's like, well, no,
either you read it or you didn't. So with me,
does it say on your phone or is this only
a Samsung thing? Nice that I've read your message?
Speaker 6 (08:31):
No?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Really, Nor do I know if you've read my message? Oh?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
I read all, I'm I'm, I'm, I'm Johnny. I. I
rarely don't read the only time I don't read a
text message. The only person that reads text message is
more quickly than me is meat sauce. You send a
text message to meets us, he will respond. You hit
send within literally three seconds. You see those little bubbles,
those little dots that come, you know, that rotate around
(08:58):
saying he's typing. He already responded to me today. But
yeah and so and not everybody has the And I
think the reason is people are they it either you're
(09:20):
you don't in case it's a text that you're uncomfortable
with or don't have the proper response for. Or like
let's say I said, hey, Tenna, how about you and
I drive up the brainer together, and you're like, if
you see that, right, if I see that you've read it,
I know you're thinking about if you don't get back
to me right away. I know there's you're thinking. But
if it just says delivered and I don't know if
(09:40):
you've read it, then you can.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Go, God, how am I going to tell me? I
don't want to go? What can I do?
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I can tell them I'm sorting socks, or I can
tell them that I'm watching paint dry or they're delivering
a boiling hot bat of asphalt. I let people know
what you and so anyway, I just I just I
had text messages the best thing ever.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I just love it. I just it's it's, it's, it's, it's.
And you were the last to jump on that band.
It was one of the very few last to jump
of that one. I'll just think if you get email
on your phone, I guess I explained. But here's the
here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
If if you if you don't, I mean, you could
hit your red button, you know, if you could just
put put that you've read, you've read that, letting the
person that sent you an email know you've read it.
If you would just put that on your phone, we
can go back and forth on that all day.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
You don't do that.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I don't do emails because I don't I see, unlike,
I don't need email other than to communicate with salespeople.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
And clients and so. And I don't need to have
that right away immediately. I just changed. Sometimes you might
need to have that immediately.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I've never no, I've never had to How long have
we had email twenty years. I've never had to have
one immediately ever. Never I've never had a salesperson or
a client say, didn't you.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Get my email? Haven't you ever?
Speaker 7 (11:00):
We've gotten Ah, you know, we have a work meeting
all of a sudden that was called on like a
half hour before the meeting, and it was emailed everybody,
and then you don't see it.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I'm not showing up. I'm thirty minutes short notice. I'm
not you plan your meetings earlier. What if it's an emergency,
then they're gonna have to call me and put me
on zoom because I ain't.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
I'm not dropping everything. I do zoom on your phone.
If I'm out, Oh sure absolutely.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
If I'm out at at if I'm on six seven
over at Prestwick and the and my and my good friend,
uh Donnie Linquist who runs the place, tells me got
a meeting at tenth, Well, no I can't. I'm I'm
(11:45):
playing golf. You should have told me earlier, plan your
meetings earlier, so I I no, I don't need to
have it. I know it probably pains you that you
have to have email, and I don't. I know that
bothers me here's another thing that bothers people that I
don't need to prepare for my show. I can just
come in and start winging it, and it bothers other
(12:06):
people because they.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Have to put hours of preparation into their show. Sorry,
I'm an actural.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Got the first segment killed already, and now how entertaining
it was remains to be seen.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
We'll get a report card in a few weeks and
we'll find out if only you could read text messages
to see how entertaining it was.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I can't because I because I because I was given
a I have to have a a second authenticator. What
are they gonna tell us we need a third and
then a four? People complicate things way too much.
Speaker 7 (12:46):
Will you're gonna like get some sort of laser thing
on your eyeballs to make sure you are the one
that's reading it.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
That's like, that's exactly it. That'll be the next step.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
There's so much to get to today, but we're not
going to spend the wheel the topic, but there's plenty
to get to to the other side of the break.
We'll do peak at the Purple. I want to get
back to the wolves and the board thing. The more
I think about it, the worse it gets. And then
there's another quote, and then there's the O'Connor stuff with
the quarterback. So there's plenty of we'll do with the
O'Connell thing next. I'm just astounded by it. I'll just
(13:18):
tide on the break. We'll do Peak at the Purple
right here on the Common n program.

Holiday card for meat sauce and kel sauce. Not yet
mine was hand delivered. That's why maybe you're not on
the list. Well, he asked for my address, so maybe
he's just going to mail it.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
He's been mailing in his entire career, so why we're
gont mail close Serga to meets us. You're not the
first talk show host to have a kid.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
So we just always say to people, no, it's a
very cute card.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Oh Ry Christmas, Happy holidays, love Paul Kelly and louis
very nice.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
It's one of the things we go through. Do you
do this at your house?
Speaker 4 (14:38):
You know?
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Since my wife and I've been together.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Living in sin for about five years, and we got
married nineteen ninety nine and then we partied like it
was in nineteen ninety nine, and over those years, we've
had a list of people that we send holiday cards to.
And every day when of my wife starts putting out
the holiday cards, it's do we want to send one?
You want to send one to? And I've slowly but
(15:04):
surely whittled away on the list. I mean, and I
think your family's next. I just wanted to say it,
but you know, you do. After a while, it's like, well,
I don't really ever talk to that person anymore. And
then there is the point where my wife wants to
do a Christmas card with the kids, and I love that,
but when they were grown adults.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Now when they're you know, twenty two and twenty. Yeah,
do we really need to see our own family?
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Do we really need to send ten to be a card? Now?
With you with your kids?
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Still?
Speaker 1 (15:32):
What ten? Eight six?
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (15:33):
What it is? I? Eleven eight five, eleven eight five
eleven eight five is different?
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (15:39):
You see the chair changing every year? Right? Yeah? Where
with do some baby brother people?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Did I tell you that if I showed you my
latest license plate picture, I look like.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
A serial kid. I did it purposely. The woman even said,
do you want to retake us that you want to
redo it?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I said, no, it's perfect. She just kind of rolled
her eyes, shrugged her shoulder, and shook her head. So
I seduced some baby brother Peter fall In. They've they've
they've followed my lead because if the driver's license picture,
you know, why would you have a big smile in
your face?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I always I just want to used to tell the driver.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Now I don't even explain it, but I used to
tell him, well, no, why would I smile? Because when
I hand my driver's license to the police officer.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I'm not going to be smiling. So he's gonna go,
that's not you, right, who smiles? And hey, all was there? Thanks?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Yeah, just when I was looking for one hundred dollars ticket.
Thank you, watch my insurance rates go up. I'm so
happy gonna give.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
You a hug. So you're going to have a disgruntled
look on your face.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
So I want to see, he goes as Matches, that's you,
So Deuce and baby brother Peter Bolt dude, just the
kind of non committal, kind of loser look, you know,
and just kind of with your mouth kind of a gaye.
Then Deuce says, the people in his running group, you know,
the people he runs with from high school that he
still hangs out with, they all do it, and then
(17:04):
they send pictures to each other and collect all the
pictures that just look like you look like you're a
wanted poster, like a mugshot. It's just the silly things
that keep me, that keep me amused. And speaking of
text messages and using those to gauge whether the segment
was good, that's what you said, well manage if you
(17:26):
get your email your.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Bhe blah blah. Here's what one of my.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Close personal friends who listens to the grum h come
Hecker high Water and he sent me a personal text
to my maybe I should just get my phone or
her out over the air and have people text me
during the show.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Then again, maybe not.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
This is what my friend says, sensational first segment today.
My favorite common man segments include random thoughts from the
one and only Crushed a segment from can't get into
my two form authentication into texting delivered versus red blah blah.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
It's called killing a segment, and I mean really killing it,
just I mean beating it till it's bloody and there's.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Nothing left in it.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Peek at the Purple brought to you by our friends
at Affordable Electric. They wish you happy holidays. They're an
electrifying kind of a place. Whatever your electrical needs may be.
I highly recommend my friends at affordably Electric if you
have electrical needs here so it works. Affordable dash Electric
dot Com, Affordable dash Electric dot Com and remember, here.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
We go, they are shockingly affordable.
Speaker 6 (18:39):
Stop already.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
So yesterday we didn't have the head coach, right is
that correct? Because we had so many other things. Well,
he was doing for Football Weekly. Yeah, so he was
on during goal for Football Weekly. So we did not
have the head coach. But Apparently he was asked about it.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
It's official JJ McCarthy will be starting his seventh game,
his first in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Or is it one week? Is he just out one week?
Or was out two? He just missed one? He missed
one week.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Officially his seventh game of his young National Football League career,
and we don't know how.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Long that career is going to be.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Is the game he's playing this Sundays at the beginning
of the beginning of the beginning of his career, Is
at the middle of the beginning.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Of the beginning or is he Is it possible he's
at the beginning of the middle of the end. You know,
we just don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
But the question was asked something about what do you
want from McCarthy and what's what's what are the issues here?
Speaker 1 (19:40):
And here's what he said. It's purely about decision making
at this point.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
I want him to have a clear head and a
clear mind to just go play, but play with an
understanding of the decisions that I make have to be
of the utmost importance.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Because we learned our turnover number is where it is
of winning formula.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I don't want them overthinking or worrying about if the
fundamentals need to be changed. Let's just make throws. Let's
just throw and catch. Let's just play with great rhythm
and understanding of the plan. And I hope that works.
And that's the approach. And again, look, you and I
(20:23):
Tendaby were never there during the interviews or I don't
know if you participated in.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
What do they call that in Indianapolis.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Combine whether you know I obviously did a personal tryout
and the training camp, and it says, but it's like
when you if you don't, you would think you would
have the technical part of the game already figured out
by I spent all those years at IMG and he
played college football, so you would think he had. But
(20:53):
apparently he doesn't have all the fundamentals figure out. But
the coach seems to be obsessed with eyes and feet,
eyes and feet and all the fundamentals. And so now
he's basically saying, though, just go play, don't worry about
the fundamentals anymore.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
We're gonna work.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
They've even said they're dumbing down the play, not just
for him but for everybody. That was the word one
of the Vikings running backs shoes was dumbing it down.
They've kind of dumbed it down for us. And here's
the analogy I'll use, and it might be a flawed one,
but I'll use it anyways. Tendeby the game that you
(21:32):
and I both love and a door golf you could
probably find one like Freddy Couples. You could say, perfect
golf swing. And if you could teach somebody to swing
exactly like Freddy Couples in his prime, that's what you
would do. But not everybody can be Freddie Couples. So yeah,
I mean one of the weirdest wings of all time
Jim Furick, Right, Jim Furiic had that weird thing with
(21:53):
his wrists where he kind of goes like this, and
Sergio used to flex his fingers for a minute before
he and Tiger goes at it one way and he
changes the swings, like.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Is there a one size fits all for quarterbacks?
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Too?
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Is there only one way to look at my Would
anybody teach what mahomes does? Be way down low, like
you're you know, what's that thing where they put the
bamboo stick.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Out and you try to go on?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Yeah, would anybody say get into a limbo position and
roll out right and throw it across your body and
see if you can hit Kelsey over there.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Well, you would never teach that, but you don't go
to mahomes. They don't do that. That's wrong. You gotta
be your eyes, you feed your hands with and so
let the kid play how he plays. No, you could
still and I know again, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
We'll see how much this helps on Sunday a game
you'll hear on this radio station coverage at ten be
here for the pooch at twelve. Maybe just telling him
to just go out and have fun and play football,
play like you used to play.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Maybe that will help free him up.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
And I certainly hope so, because if he is it's
like Tenneby, you and I have talked about this. If
you're thinking about swing McCann on the tee, you're pretty
much due. You might hit one or two good ones,
like he's made a handful of good throws, But most
of the.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Time, if he's back there, okay, I gotta line up.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
You know, it's going so fast that if he's dropped
back thinking I got to have my feet, my eyes
a line, he's done.
Speaker 7 (23:17):
So you do that during the offseason, Yeah, you don't
do that during games, So maybe that will help.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
I mean, last week I was, I was, I was
excited to see Brozemberg to see what he was like.
We saw that that was in. That's pretty much an
abject failure that did not work well.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Now I am curious to see with this new approach
where it's just go out and throw the football, try
to complete passes.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Maybe that will help.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Maybe he'll just go out there and you're playing you know,
like sandlot backyard football League. Right, we'll see how it
works again. You'll hear the game on this radio station
if you like.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
We'll take a break.

He actually puts in three.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
Ah Wolves, it's been a peculiar season to this point.
They beat teams at losing records and lose to teams
with winning records. For the most part, there might be
one is it outlier that's the word, right, might be
one or two outliers.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
They may have lost a game to a.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Team of the losing record, and they may have won
a lost a game to it, or won a game
I guess a team with a winning record.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
For the most part, that's what's been happening here. In
this past two nights ago, they beat a really bad
New Orleans.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Pelicans team in which I think the Pelicans had won
something like three games.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Leading into that day.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
There, guys, Williamson, He's he's the Byron Buxton of the NBA.
Right never plays has he ever played more than thirty
forty games in a season.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
He's out again. Now he's never healthy.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I think I saw while we were on the area
yesterday they were they were talking about Williamson, you know,
on ESPN on some you know, NBA to Day show
or something, and I could have swore what I read this,
Like in his contract, he's.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Got like a weight cloth. That's them are good. No,
that's not good. When you got to tell a guy
look at it. We'll look the video game clause for
Kyler Murray, we'll give you twenty percent more of you.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
It was broken down how much money he gets in,
like twenty percent of his moneys if he comes in
in shape.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
How sad is that?
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Don't you're a professional, they're paying you big money. Don't
you want to be in you know, don chitch finally
got shamed into it, right, he got traded because he
was fat. That's the reason he was traded. He was
fat and couldn't play defense.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Now his.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Remarkable offensive ability, I think it's sort of you know,
you got to take the good with the bad, right,
and he was so good and still is so good offensively.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
You just have to go, well, we have to just
accept that he's he's chubby.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
That doesn't want to get on the treadmill, but then
he didn't get on the treadmill and he's playing as
far as Ian. At least he started the season red hot.
I don't know what he's doing now. I know the
Lakers are. I think the latest power ranking is that
we did not go through lazy list Radio. Maybe we'll
do that before the week's over because you know me,
But I think they're like the third best team. I
think that might have been the Athletics power rankings, either
(27:35):
Athletic or Cbsports or ESPN or NBA dot.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Com over is. So he must still be playing very
very well.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
But after they lost to Oh by the way, I
have a interesting relationship with the basketball community in town.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
I get.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
That's why I wish I could get my hip cricket
Slash messages up and running again, because anytime I pick
on the Wolves, I just hear it from.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Six seven people that are like, yeah, yeah, you know,
you don't understand the game. Why don't you stick to
Gulf lo Their You know, yeah, you never pick on
the Wolves.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
You never say, or the Wild. You never say the
Wild never tried us, because the Wild do try. But
I've seen I received some apologies finally from the basketball
community after I guess it it it It took a
quote from the head coach for people to realize that
I've been spot on the whole time. We talked about
(28:40):
this quote. The other day, we talked about it with Roseen.
I think this was maybe we did this that Toys
for Tots or maybe it was just yesterday. But here's
what Finch said. Through one quarter of the season, the
Wolves defense has been This is not him talking.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
This is the lead up to his quote. There's a
fish rep factory west side.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Through one quarter of the season, the Wolves defense has
been inconsistent at best. Their number twelve rating is not
good enough for the standards they know they can reach.
Before the game, coach Chris Finch used the right word
to describe how the team looked at that on that
end of the floor.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Quote kind of started the season a little board. I'll
read that again. Kind of started the season a little board.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
That's not something that you want to admit to, but
a team that's had two deep runs, I think we
just maybe started the season a little bit flat and
boared and just realizing you got to put the work in.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
It's going to be tough.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
This is going to be brutal, and we just had
to get back to playing better defense. Of course, then
they went out this is the story continues. Then they
went out and barely played any in the first half,
where New Orleans posted sixty eight points, one of the
worst teams.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
In the NBA.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
And I guess bored is the word I've sort of
been searching for because in my in my I'm exhausted
by it. In my it's an exercise in futility because
they don't listen and they don't care what I have
to say. They don't even know why I exist. I
would think most of the players, the players on the team,
(30:07):
But one of the things I said recently was it
almost seems like if you know you're vastly superior to
the other team, you are bored. You just you don't
give it. You just go, well, we can beat this
team at any time. It's just another game in the
middle of the week. And they and what I always
want to tell us, but yeah, but people are paying money.
You're an entertainer. You're supposed to give your best effort
(30:28):
three or four nights a week. Do you think the
lead playing Romeo in Romeo and Juliet comes in and says,
I'm just gonna mail it in tonight.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
I'm bored with the role. Well, no, he puts everything
he has into it.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Chris Hockey goes up on stage with Rocket Club or
Flaming Armadillos or whatever band. He's got five six different bands,
Chris Hockey band. Do you think he's I'm gonna mail
it in tonight?
Speaker 1 (30:58):
I'm bored. No, people are paying money, play hard.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Just look at the Thunder and just use them as
an example of a team that gives everything they got.
And it's not just the coach quotes from ant Let
me dial them up. This is from the athletics story.
This is from our good friend Johnny Krazinsky. Here's what
(31:25):
Johnny Krasinski wrote the other day. I'll score all down
to the the quotes from Anthony Edwards. And by the
way Edwards played brilliantly, I mean he played. He played
the entire fourth quarter. Usually he sits out the first
six seven minutes of the fourth quarter to get to
(31:49):
get to get a blow and then he finishes strong.
Speaker 6 (31:51):
Right.
Speaker 7 (31:52):
It was his Jack Morris Game seven ninety one game
he refused to be taking off the cart.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Except circumstances weren't quite as important this season. Maybe it's
the Pelicans, but yeah, you're right, Yeah, so the Pels.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
We called him.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
I didn't realize we called him the Pels. That's what
uh Johnny Christis calls him the Pels. The lack of
name recognition in the rotation has been a problem all
season for the Pels, but it may have been an
advantage on Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Now listen to this. There are These are the kinds
of teams that have plagued Edwards in the past.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
If he's not aware of a player's credentials, that opponent
can sneak up on him. Coaching staff as it always does,
provide it in a detail pregame scuttering report. But the
Pelicans lack of star power seemed to have dulled the
wolves blade going into the game.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Here's what Ant said. They don't have a go to guy.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Everybody out there just playing free, you know, because they
don't have a go to guy. Here's what else antswaid.
Finchy told us we can't just wait for the playoffs
to start playing defense yet to tell them, because apparently
the team thought we can just wait till the playoffs start,
(33:07):
then we can start to play defense and no need
to do it now. These eighty two games don't mean anything.
And again, when you've made deep runs, as the coach said,
I guess you'd become more. I guess it's human nature.
Finci told us we can't just wait for the playoffs
to start playing defense. I'm really not worried about it.
Once we get to where we trying to get to.
(33:28):
It's now when it's super important. It seems like we
don't want to play these games. We just want to
fast forward the season to the playoffs and then play
all out defense and play super hard. It's just don't
work like that. We got to be ready to play
on any given night. And it starts with me. I
came out kind of sluggish. I'll be better next game.
And usually he does. The one thing you can say
(33:50):
about anthe remember he's been living rent free in my
head for five seasons now, because I think, to me,
sometimes his approach to the game is maddening.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
It really is.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
But he has a wonderful talent. As we know, he's
a top ten player, maybe top five. I mean, there
are some people that wouldn't trade him. There are some
media people that would not trade him for anybody in
the league, including Victor Webanyama. And maybe they were right
because wemen Yama.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Has been injured. But what's what's wrong with this picture?
Speaker 2 (34:28):
It's and you know I, like I said, I guess
this is human answer. When you made two deep BRUEs
another long season, well, then find a different line of work.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Try ten to b five days a week. Fifty will
you take about two weeks vacation? Maybe three? Let's say
you take Let's say you take your full four.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Forty eight weeks of the sluggish grind of working with
the common man every day.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
But do you give it your best?
Speaker 4 (34:51):
Debt?
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Maybe you're a bad example, but no, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
It's like everybody's everyone should be hard to get up
for a basketball game. It should be you're playing a
child's GA six months out of the year and you yeah,
and you're extremely wealthy.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Yeah money that will get you to the grave Foo
for making more than thirty I just life.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Yeah, And like I say, if it was just pick
up basketball when no one was paying attention, won't do
whatever you want. I don't care, right, and who cares
what you do? If you and me and and Greg
Coleman and jg are playing golf, and I decided to
not try very hard.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
So it's just on me. It's just a recreational game
of golf. It's no big deal. But you do try.
But I do try. When I play old men hockey,
I give it my all. You give it, you're all,
you're a somebody. And yet well I don't understand how.
Speaker 7 (35:47):
No, maybe basketball is a little different because, let's face it,
only a percentage of the population is going to go
play in the NBA because you have to be a
certain height and then you have to have a CERTA.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Did I get my text message?
Speaker 4 (35:58):
Get it? Well?
Speaker 1 (35:59):
It just popped up up. Ah, someone figuring it out.
Well I didn't, So how did it happen?
Speaker 7 (36:06):
Probably healthy or one of the engineers close circuit to
issue with this.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Me, isn't it a bit pot kettle for common to
call anyone out on lack of effort?
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Comment? This is what he said? My responsibly, Well, there's that,
and it would be that would be my response. Well
there's that.
Speaker 7 (36:30):
But like I don't understand how to get to the NBA,
you have to have a certain competitive fire to you,
right like you you've had to put in a certain
amount of work over the years to get there, and
then you get there and you don't give it your all.
I don't understand like you think your makeup would be.
I'm going to give it my all at all time.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Yeah, And like you say, especially when it's six months
out of theyear, three or four nights a week, two
and a half hours a night, and when you're tired,
you put your hand and they bring you back out.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
It's fun, it's cool.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
You're idolized and pedestalized. Big money, you're doing the antic laws.
Have you seen his ads?
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Is that? Who is that for?
Speaker 2 (37:02):
I don't even I can't even recall ants inside of
a sleigh delivering gifts, slam dunking into the chimney.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Have you seen this commercial on Team?
Speaker 6 (37:11):
I have not.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
It's really good.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Wo And then the people and why then they then
they say, well, I don't know what I'm talking about,
and you're wrong, And and it's because I know you
love the Wolves and you want it and you've been
in Milla. They've brought us too western nice playoff runs,
better runs than we've seen from any team in this
other than the Frost Go for women's basketball a few
(37:39):
years back when they were winning titles and the links.
It seems like the gals try harder and care more
figured out. They've got it all figured out. Now, why
did you take my hip cricket away? Oh it's back again.
Someone says, elevate the scrotum. Maybe that's what they need
to do, is elevate the scrotums before the.
Speaker 7 (37:57):
Games from the corner's office and you're welcome. They also
said it was obviously Crutch was needed.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Wow, I always love him.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
Do you think there's another program director in the country
who would criticize, in demean one of his highly picked,
one of his highly successful.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
One of his.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Talk show hosts while the show's on, and basically tear
him apart. It's it's astonishing to me. Maybe maybe the
program director's bored. Maybe he's got some Minnesota timberwolf in him.
He's bored, so he's decided to go after me. Here
(38:47):
on the text mess also, what took so long? You've
had this issue for weeks?
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Well there's that.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
Yeah, I've been waiting for someone to help me. I
just asked for a little help, little guidance.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
I want to get bye with little help from your friends.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
I don't ask for much. See here's one of the
hockey community. It's going to be I'll give this one
to you again. Why doesn't Caprisov give it all? Give
it is all on defense?
Speaker 1 (39:12):
He does give it at all. He does.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
He's just not as good at defensive players about that.
He's more of a forward player.
Speaker 7 (39:17):
He's not a bad defensive he's not a bad defensive.
But I mean it's like a minute left in the
game they put him on the ice. Yeah, so they're not.
This isn't like Obetchkin fifteen years ago, where you're up
a goal last minute that they're not putting you on
on the ice. He plays quite a bit in no circumstances.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
This one says, here you complaining about the Wolves mailing
it in and you and can't about ten minutes of
getting your text message access figured out.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
That was That was like coming out of the gates fast.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
You heard the text message those That's the kind of
the tier that people expect from me. Just a lot
of blather about nothing. It's a show about nothing. Seinfeld
stole that bit from me, just like McAfee stole the grum.
Seinfeld stole that bit from me. It's to show about nothing.
There's just the way there's you know, we'll dabble a
little in some sport. We're talking of sports right now,
(40:08):
and I just why are people on my side on this?
If you're a basketball fan in general and specifically a
Wolf fan, don't those quotes, if not anger you, at
least mildly annoy you, or at least make you roll
(40:31):
your eyes, shrug your shoulders and shake your head. They're bored.
They don't care about these It seems like we don't
want to play these games. We just want to fast
forward the season of the playoffs and then play all
out on defense and play super hard.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
All right, enjoy the process. As to the Randy Moss play,
when I want to play.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Dave Tentis, he's in the White bear Lake High School
Hall of Fame. Played golf at Houston, played in the Masters,
was on a Walker Cup team. Terrific talent. Just retired
from a happy retirement day. Just retired as the head
golf professional over at Troy Burn. Played in a number
of PGA championships, including over hazelting World's caddied for played
(41:18):
at Hazel team made the cut.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
Blah blah, blah and worlds gave me a copy date
a ten point.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
Reminderless that Dave had in one of them to remind
him of how to approach the game of golf because
it's such a mental game, and one of them, and
this is the one I always try to remember. Enjoy
the process, because I don't know if you're like me, Tennay.
A lot of times I'm just so fixated on the
final score in that whole results. Yeah, yeah, what am
I going to get? Got to get a part here,
(41:54):
got to get a parberd. He don't want to make
a ball game. He certainly don't want.
Speaker 1 (41:56):
To make a double.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
Instead of just enjoying standing on the tee and then
whispering in the rube's ear as Tenneby's.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
About to hit the ball, he looks just like who
is it that I always say, you look like Adam Scott?
Speaker 2 (42:09):
He looks just like Adam Scott up until impact, enjoying
the camaraderie with the people throwing up the grass and
looking at the yardage, and you know how when you're
getting ready to put you kind of shuffle your feet
like this.
Speaker 1 (42:20):
Enjoy the whole thing, enjoy running.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
Yes, and try not to squint when the sun is shining,
and enjoy writing the scores down on the car.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
Just enjoy the whole process.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
And that's what apparently these these basketball players have trouble with.
Enjoying the process and enjoy the process of the regular season.
Enjoy showing up, you know, you know, like you'll see
him show up at basketball games or football games. They'll
always have the camera out showing them come in and
(42:52):
they're all dressed in the coolest clothes ever.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
Right, they'll have their fashion statement.
Speaker 2 (42:56):
I mean they're wearing hundreds hundreds of thousands of dollars,
well not one hundreds of thousand, but they're wearing the
latest and greatest fashions. Right, they got their sunglasses on
and all their jewelry and come and walking in and
you know they go in and how you get to
get undressed with your buddies and laugh and then there
you know, there's gonna be great food for you after
the game, and there's somebody there to if you go
(43:17):
need the back's a little tight, Hey, I'm gonna get
the massage therapist to work that out for me. Then
you get to put on your sneakers and lace them
up and joke with the guys and you go out
there and then the fans are cheering in warm ups,
you're knocking down shots and it's just like, okay, for
two and a half hours, let's go play lay as
hard as we can. The Thunder do it, and they
(43:38):
won a world championship. You would think if anybody would
be more it would be the Thunder.
Speaker 1 (43:41):
They should have the championship.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
Hangover right now, Close circuit to Finch, Pas, Finch on
all the time, right close circuit to Pa. Can you
tell Finch, I'll come and talk to the club you
want me. If you want somebody to tell them, tell
them like it is or how it's supposed to be,
I'll do it.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
And then when they win the ship, I hope for
a ring, PA's.
Speaker 2 (44:11):
Gonna get one with the butt. He's gonna have to
wait a while to get that ring. But I would
love to be considered extended family member of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Speaker 1 (44:24):
But I just I they're bored. I just want to
They don't even want to play these games. And I
know what he said. He said, it seems like we
don't want to play these games.
Speaker 2 (44:36):
But sometimes seeming is reality, right, It seems like, well,
it's because that is the way it is.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
You just you're just a name. I don't That's why
I can't get really behind the club, you know. I mean,
I still like see him win.
Speaker 2 (44:51):
Maybe they can change their ways, start winning games, start
playing more like the thunder.
Speaker 1 (44:55):
At least giving if you give it one hundred ten.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
To me, it's so cliched, right, If at first you
don't succeed, try try, try again or whatever, or find
it or cheat, you know whatever. But if you're at
least giving it, there are nights you're not gonna have it.
The other team is going to be better than you.
They're gonna be nights where the shots don't go out.
The basket looks like. There are nights when it looks
(45:20):
like a rainbarrow. There's other times it looks like a thimble.
Same thing in golf. Right when you're putting, sometimes you
look at the whole looks like a rainbarrow. I can't
miss putting better than eighty five percent of the players
on tour.
Speaker 1 (45:31):
There's other time it looks like a thimble. You know,
there's no way that putt is going in.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
There's no chance that happens at basketball but then you
have your teammates to rely on and golf, it's strictly you.
It's not like I'm gonna have tend to be put
this one for me. Of course, I don't know if
I want them to do that, but anyway, we'll see
if it gets better. Here's this text, my pussess tell
the Wolves players I on board paying hundreds hundreds of
(45:58):
dollars to go to their game. Yeah, once that starts,
we'll break.
Speaker 1 (46:09):
We'll come back. When we do, it'll be time for five, three, four,
ten or what you got for. We had a court
storming last night
