Speaker 2 (01:01):
I'm doing fantastic. Nice to meet you. That's John Kriesel.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
It sounds like you guys know we should a little
bit great you guys are you guys are working together
in the next week or so on some level.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
We are.

Speaker 5 (01:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:10):
Northland is the official vodka of Hockey Day Minnesota in Hastings.
So if you're on site and you're drinking a vodka,
it is ours, so soak it in, enjoy it. Very tasty.
So yeah, there Hockey Day Minnesota. If you haven't been
down there, is amazing. We're down there the other day
and the just seeing all of the work in progress.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
The complex, oh spectacular.

Speaker 6 (01:32):
Yeah, these guys did an amazing job down the United
Heroes League tay for all these guys.

Speaker 8 (01:37):
It is beautifully, beautifully set up. It's looking fantastic, that's all.
Shanehudella your buddy.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
You too, man, he has the saw you work in
the other day.

Speaker 8 (01:47):
I'm just putting I like starting the fires and put
them out at night. But we've had a tremendous support
from the community the last couple of weeks. Here there's
people out all hours of the day trying to get
the final things in and I was to increase that.
I mean, they were out there a couple of days ago.
It's already changed so much right now. So we're super
excited as a community to have people down there.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
That's awesome.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
So Hockey Day now is like a week in change, right,
it's been aggressive. It's not even close to a day anymore.
But it kicks off tomorrow and it goes through when.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Till the following Saturday, Saturday, actual Hockey Day.

Speaker 5 (02:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (02:22):
So Shane had a good point. He's like, listen, we
have this great venue down here. We're putting a lot
of money into the infrastructure, the tents, the bleachers, you know.
To only have three or four days, it's it's kind
of a waste. So I think eight was a bit aggressive,
but we're gonna make it happen.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
It's just that it's that special.

Speaker 8 (02:39):
I think we try to invite as many communities as
we can, and I think they're really going to enjoy.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
But we're ready to kick off tomorrow morning.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Mark, you know, Jeff, Jeff you know, yeah, yeah, sure,
you're nice to meet you Jeff again again.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
So when did you guys meet for the first time? Oh? Boy,
years ago?

Speaker 6 (02:57):
Probably, you know, usually usually, especially when it's the older
guys me and the younger guys. I'm the older guy. Uh,
it's like it's the it's at the like the summer camp.
Like Brian Ltton used to have like Octagon summer camp
where the NHL is would get together and be getting
ready or staying in shape, getting ready for the following season,
and then you'd invite like the top the top talent

(03:18):
left from colleges or d one or whatever. So I
would put money on it would have been in one
of those skates.

Speaker 8 (03:24):
Yeah, I think so that was always a big eye
opener for the college or high school kids that they
invite in there.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
You're just kind of staring at these guys.

Speaker 8 (03:30):
And we were laughing at a little event the other
night for the Hockey Hall of Fame that you know,
favorite players growing up. Obviously guys like perrying them. But
everybody's answer was Mike Crowley just right across the board.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
And he actually texted.

Speaker 8 (03:43):
Me last night saying that he can't play in the
alumni game, but they said, I'll save him a seat
if he wants to show.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Up, marking guy. I am playing.

Speaker 6 (03:51):
I am dustuff. I'm gonna have to get those skates sharp,
but they're gonna be so sore yesterday.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Or at a wrist shot, I was a rach shot.
I did not dare go for a slap shot. I
like my wrist. I didn't want to break it.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
I'm a little ignorant when it comes to high school hockey.
What other notables have we had from Hastings outside of yourself?

Speaker 8 (04:13):
Quite a few, actually, most recent ones. Derek step On
wait for the Rangers, a couple other teams. Taylor Chorney
was a Hastings guy. Then you go back a little
bit longer as Dean Talifis he played for the North Stars.
John Gruden, I think he's a coach at Toronto Marley's
right now. So we've had a handful for a small town.
I think when I grew up it was maybe fifteen thousand.
I think they're at twenty two thousand now. But yeah,

(04:34):
it's kind of one of those things where, you know,
even when I was growing up, we stuck with our
high school team, didn't really transfer go to the US program,
so we had a lot of really really good teams
and players back then.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
Do you play any other sports?

Speaker 8 (04:46):
I played baseball. I had a great time playing baseball.
That was kind of one of my decisions too. I
think I was invited to the one of the first
few years of the National Development program out there in
ann Arbor, and I said, wow, we've got a pretty
good baseball team, so stuck that one out. Never won
state terma in hockey, but we wanted in baseball, so
I guess that was kind of nice.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
Wow, that's pretty good.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
I asked specifically because I love that little high school
football stadium you guys.

Speaker 4 (05:09):
Have in Hastings right there.

Speaker 5 (05:10):
Man, that's sweet when you.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Turn left there by the dun Brothers and you go
towards you know, not that I've been there a few times,
but man, that is a cool little high school football staium.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah right, yeah, you're thinking of the beer Stuberrier right there.
I'm sure.

Speaker 8 (05:21):
Yeah, we were just talking the hallway. A lot of
people probably thought Hockey Day would be there in the
little Bowl, but you know, it worked out well to
have it at UHL seventy two acres. We got a
lot of space down there, so parking should be all set.
We got Treasure Island and doing shuttles. We got local
establishments in Hastings doing the same thing. So I think
it's going to be a great event for everyone.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
So, Jeff, I'm looking at your Wikipedia page. Oh boy, no,
this is a I think this is a cool thing.
This is one of those things that, like you know,
everybody lives their own life. I'm sure you had some
pros and cons to this, but it looks like your
NHL career ends. And listen to this, like four year run,
this is so cool, though you played for these are
I can't pronounce anything that first one, right, okay, So

(06:04):
that's in Sweden. So you start playing in Sweden. Then
you go to Russia.

Speaker 8 (06:09):
You're never going to pronounce that. Now, how do you
say that one at Nephtahimik.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
You don't want to you don't want to go there.

Speaker 5 (06:17):
Then you go to this Slovakia.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
How do you say that team brought Lava? That's okay,
that's a one. I've pretty big city, correct. Then you
go to the Swiss League, right yep?

Speaker 8 (06:28):
A little boring there for me. So then I went
back to Radislava another year.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
Man, that last one seems bothersome.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
Uh, it's not the last one.

Speaker 5 (06:38):
Grant Fear is a former hockey goalie.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
It's not like how Sauce called Matt la.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
So Sweden, Russia, Slovakia, Switzerland.

Speaker 5 (06:52):
That's crazy. So all right, let's go back to what
I kind of alluded to. How how much is it? Like?

Speaker 3 (06:58):
All right, this sucks I'm not in the tell anymore,
but you're traveling the world and you're still getting to
play the game you love.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
That's that's got to be pretty cool.

Speaker 5 (07:04):
Still. It was.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
It was a great experience my first year in Sweden.

Speaker 8 (07:08):
A lot of North American guys hockey was good, had
a really good season there. And then obviously, if you're
doing that, the KHL and Russia is going to be calling,
so it was kind of a no brainer. I actually
loved playing in Russia, and the two Broadest Lava teams
that I was on were in the KHL at that
time too, So basically three years over in the Russian League,
which I mean, as much as people have horror stories

(07:29):
about it, you're you're going to find them.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
I have a lot of them.

Speaker 8 (07:31):
But I really enjoyed my time there, So it was neat.
But you know, we had young kids at the time.
Finally got to the age where I probably could have
still played a couple of years, but I was just done.
I was sick of being away. They were in school,
so I just went home and kind of helped the
wife a little bit for a few years, and then
she told me to get a job, and I don't
know what to do.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Well, how's the pay in Russia or Sweden or so season?

Speaker 8 (07:53):
If you don't mind asking seasons the same, it's it
just starts about a month earlier. So that's kind of
hard when you're when you're living here in the summer
and you got to take off early at the best
time of the year.

Speaker 5 (08:02):
It's not fun.

Speaker 8 (08:03):
Russian training camps are brutal. They just don't really trust
the guys to get in shape by themselves, so it's
a bit.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
It's a bit of a grind there for a while,
you know, hockey player.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
Yeah, is it basically like the montage from Ivan Drago
and Rocky for Yeah.

Speaker 8 (08:17):
I mean there's no NHLPA or anything where they're going
to say it's three hour days.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
And you can go home. It's you can go home
when they tell you.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
So, which what'd you like the best? Out of those
the foreign leagues? Which one did you have the most fun?

Speaker 5 (08:28):
In?

Speaker 2 (08:29):
KHL?

Speaker 8 (08:29):
I think is the best one. Swedish is really defensive hockey.
Swiss is wide open. A lot of kind of selfish
players in that league, and that's not how I play.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
I'm more of a passer.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
You're older, I got what what did you think about
guys that just basically posted up around the net and
just hacked at it and never passed Harryson Radio.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Thank you, that's the best.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
We just read a story I think was last week
about the Hirshey Bears. Were you ever there when they
did that throw the bears on the ice thing?

Speaker 5 (08:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (08:59):
The old Teddy Bear? Yeah, yeah, I played.

Speaker 5 (09:01):
There two years.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Isn't that forever? It's God, it's probably been about fifteen
twenty years now.

Speaker 5 (09:05):
It's cool.

Speaker 8 (09:06):
I mean, it just exploded though. And then there were
some games where I think I've read sometimes where it
would go to overtime even and then they were worried
about people just throwing them on whenever they wanted in overtime.
So it's a really cool thing.

Speaker 9 (09:18):
Her.

Speaker 8 (09:18):
She's a great town. I loved it there. Like I said,
two years spent and just great people. I got to
do that. I got to be there for that once
day for there.

Speaker 5 (09:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (09:27):
Oh, and I had no idea what was going on
or it was going to happen, and I was unfortunately
on the ice when it happened, standing around center ice,
and next thing was getting buried in Teddy Bears.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
It's like takes like thirty minutes.

Speaker 6 (09:41):
I mean everybody brings multiple ye yeah, and that.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
Even to.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
A children's hospital or something. Is that right?

Speaker 2 (09:49):
For good?

Speaker 5 (09:49):
It is? Yeah yah yah.

Speaker 8 (09:50):
Either give them really cool or Ronald McDonald house there
does a great job too, so cool.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
It's a cool community, by the way, full circle for
a lot of us. Do you have any idea how
many myself included people fell in love with this radio
station because of Pa and Debay's love of Golden Gopher.

Speaker 5 (10:07):
Hawkeye like twenty five years ago.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
And I'm not I was never a huge hockey fan
growing up, and I wasn't even a Gopher hockey fan
when it was gigantic, But I loved their enthusiasm so
much that I seemed to care about a team that
I didn't care about beforehand.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
And I'm like, man, radio seems fun.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
So you were on those teams that like had the
Twin Cities on the edge of their seats.

Speaker 5 (10:32):
What was that like?

Speaker 3 (10:33):
And did you feel the kfan presence and the specifically
the Pa and Debay presence all the way back then
and all that momentum like.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
They were part of the team. I feel like they
were always there.

Speaker 5 (10:43):
It was great.

Speaker 8 (10:44):
What Perry and a lot of the guys did for
Saint Cloud and turned that program around. That was never
going to be me. I think I always knew where
I was going to go play hockey. Love the Gopher
stuff sitting over here too right now. But it was special,
Like we had a really good group of guys. Doug
wu recruited me. You came in and it kind of
took over that program for a while. I feel like,
Doug good So maybe you weren't going to go there.

(11:10):
You were too good. So you were saying, so Doug
will get an eye for talent. You were saying, yeah,
of course to go there.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
Yeah, but man, what a wild ride right like that
was That was the Golden Age. Obviously we've seen glimpses
of it since then, but man, that was a really
sweet window that you were a part of.

Speaker 8 (11:27):
It was you had great leadership there though, you know,
Johnny Poole, Jordan Leopold, had a bunch of great players.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
Those names.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yeah, yeah, it was legends, Man, they were legends. They
really were coming in.

Speaker 8 (11:40):
I remember being recruited by Gunzol too. He was like
the Frozen four is here at the Excel Center. Wouldn't
you'll be a junior and I'm thinking, okay, whatever, not
a big deal.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Sure enough, we make it there. It was just kind
of a wild ride.

Speaker 8 (11:53):
Then I ended up leaving for my senior year, turned
pro and then you get a guy like Tommy Evanna
come in and just takeover my lord.

Speaker 5 (12:01):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
Hockey Day Minnesota twenty twenty six starts tomorrow to the
twentieth anniversary.

Speaker 7 (12:07):
The website sorry to cut you off first HOCKEYDAYMN dot
com because all the questions about logistics and parking and
all of that can be answered on there.

Speaker 5 (12:16):
And then some tickets on there.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
No, it's tickets.

Speaker 8 (12:20):
Tickets, yep, volunteer shifts. Whatever you want to find is
on that website.

Speaker 7 (12:23):
And you'll get to see the grounds of United Heroes
League and what Houdela and others have have really grown
as an awesome charitable organization. And then when you enter,
you will go through the Northland Hockey or the Northland
Vodka tent and if you donate to United Heroes League,
we'll give a bottle of Northland and uh Mark Parish

(12:43):

going to be out there a lot next week.

Speaker 5 (12:48):

want to.

Speaker 6 (12:51):
Yeah, you know, I come running at you with the
markert understand, I mean all the best.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
No, I'm looking at the map right now, which is
right on hockey day and come and there's plenty of
sparks to spots to park all kinds of stuff.

Speaker 8 (13:03):
Yeah, right, there is. And Hastings has been such a
great community with us. Across the street there's the Pillow
parking lot that's met council land. So we'll have some
issues probably tomorrow. Hopefully it'll be full, you know, the
next Friday and Saturday, but all throughout the week.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
I don't think parking will be an issue for us
at all.

Speaker 8 (13:17):
Which shuttles to shuttles from Treasure Island? Do garrels in town?
Probably the Confluence Hotel and Pub fifty five, So just
check down those yet blocking down area. Downtown area is
you know, we're really trying to make a comeback the
last ten years or so it has.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
It'll be great.

Speaker 8 (13:31):
It'll be great for people to see the community now,
it's awesome.

Speaker 6 (13:34):
It's a sneaky cool downtown, such a cool small towns,

Speaker 9 (13:54):
We try to get this Stone Neck and White Bear
a few years ago, but it fell apart. But luckily
you guys were able to get it done. The Iowa Wild,
which is the the farm club for the Minnesota Wild,
they're playing a game next Friday and five o'clock out there.
We're going to actually join the game in progress on
KF and Parker Fox and I will be on the call.

Abandon sorry, No of this makes sense.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
It's cool that they're coming to play, though.

Speaker 8 (14:40):
We had to make a lot of ring renovations just to.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Just to host them. But I think it'll be worth it.

Speaker 8 (14:45):
I think, you know, Iowa and Milwaukee guys are super excited.
Obviously they'll have to get right on the bus after
the game and play the old back to backer in Milwaukee,
but all their families are coming, so it'll be it'll
be a fun day.

For hockey related yeah, nuts, no offense to go for hockey.
It's a sport that I normally don't even I don't

enthusiasm wave.

Speaker 6 (17:35):
I thought it was so fun. It would just be
a part of it. And sorry and no offense. That's
where I started. I was getting When I was playing
for the Wild, I would go on with Pa and

Speaker 5 (17:50):
I didn't know that. Thanks for listening.

Speaker 4 (17:52):
I was listening.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
At that point, I was sure I was probably doing
the sledgeon Lake show in the morning show, and it
was napping during that probably, so I missed that whole
parish Piana Bay Era.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Sorry we're actually.

Speaker 4 (18:03):
Playing then, not much. But yeah, now that's cool, super cool.
Yeah weird, right.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
Yeah, weird. So you've been on the station a long time,
then a long time.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
You just say something about enthusiasm, doesn't it like if
you're excited enough about something, you can convince people to
be excited about it.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
Like Jim Jones, same pian debay with Gopher Hockey and
Jim Jones with kool Aid.

Speaker 4 (18:29):
Exactly the same thing for me. But yeah, I get
your point.

Speaker 5 (18:32):
I was drinking to go for kool aid back in
the day.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
It's an analogy. Yeah, it grew up by Jim Jones,
Sure it is.

Speaker 4 (18:38):
I mean we weren't buddies.

Speaker 5 (18:41):
He lived like a mile from where you grew up.
They were pen pals.

Speaker 4 (18:43):
Yeah, it wasn't far. It wasn't far. And now I'm
with you and my proposition.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
To get the future home er you know, home of
Jim Jones sign put up as you enter town has
failed three times in a row.

Speaker 5 (18:56):
Now, what if it's sponsored by kool Aid?

Speaker 4 (18:58):
I could do that. You know that is one of
the misnumbers.

Speaker 5 (19:01):
It wasn't flavor. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Yeah, tough break for Flavor eight.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
Do you do you think it's true that any publicity
is a good publicity.

Speaker 4 (19:11):
I mean, I bet it kind of is.

Speaker 5 (19:13):
Oh, it definitely helped Kool.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying that it kind of helped
him even though it wasn't really the best advertising. No,
but if it makes poison taste good, imagine if it
doesn't have poison in it.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
Right, that's a marketing that was like watching Don Draper work.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
That was really good.

Speaker 7 (19:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
Uh, you want to see how Don Draper works.

Speaker 5 (19:32):
Watch this.

Speaker 4 (19:33):
I can't wait.

Speaker 5 (19:33):
Master.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
It's time for a fan five on the Power Trip,
presented by All Around your Timber Tech deck building contractor
b Minnesota.

Speaker 5 (19:44):
Wild got run over yesterday by the Jet six to
two year Wilder winless and five A six.

Speaker 4 (19:52):
Mark.

Speaker 5 (19:53):
They battle the red Hot Sabers tomorrow at eleven thirty am.

Speaker 6 (20:00):
Yes, it was a little bit of a tough end
to the home stand here, which and it was unfortunate.

Speaker 4 (20:06):
See Mark hold on.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
Oh yeah, how dare you?

Speaker 1 (20:10):
It's time for the Hockey Minute with Mark Parrish, brought
to you by our friends at Saint plom State Go Husky. Yes,
it was.

Speaker 6 (20:17):
It was a really, really really good start. The boys
came out flying. It was a I think shots for
ten oh first twelve, thirteen minutes. They were absolutely running
Winnipeg out of the building.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
And the NHL is crazy.

Speaker 6 (20:31):
You can't give teams opportunities like a two men advantage.
All of a sudden, things flip that one goal. Winnipeg
finds some momentum. Jonathan tays is an amazing face off
man and they end up scoring that goal where the
two goals ten seconds apart late in the first and
Winnipeg just took it from there. It really is it.

(20:51):
It was the boys were flying. I had all the
best intentions. They really really look good. Things just didn't
happen to go their way. Some great play by the
Winnipeg Jets, not necessarily anything against the Wild and the
game turned and at that point Winnipeg was playing with
house money and just kept going. Boys left to just
turn the page and move on, to move on to Buffalo.

(21:12):
That's all you can do. There's games like that. There's
just nothing you can do that blow up in your face.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
You move on.

Speaker 3 (21:17):
Eleven hours ago, Sauce tweet. I agree, it's over for
the wild hideous.

Speaker 6 (21:24):
There's a lot of games left, but oh a lot
of game I was hot.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
Mike responded on Twitter, he said, what's over? They just
came back from a very long road tour. Calm down,
butter Cup. Yeah, they were a tour in the nation. Oh,
he didn't call you, but it was a world tour.
Then something called Richard Cranium responded with trash state trash
professional teams?

Speaker 5 (21:51):
Is that your burner account? Chris Farley in a Vikings,
Jersey I think something called well Jeff said to you.
Thanks Jacques Lemaire.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
That's genius, that's all.

Speaker 5 (22:10):
Oh and then wow somebody responded with I did not watch,
but I have some opinions on your super emo knee
jerk approach to sports. Hell.

Speaker 10 (22:22):
Yeah, you must have been so miserable after Game five
and eighty seven and ninety one.

Speaker 5 (22:28):
No, I agree, I.

Speaker 4 (22:30):
Bet you were.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
You would have been if you were older, you would
have said it's over for the Twins, hideous?

Speaker 5 (22:37):
What kind of Actually, let's skip to your father. He
wasn't a bit like this is like this? His whole
life was he WTF your fault?

Speaker 4 (22:49):
What?

Speaker 5 (22:50):
That's what? This guy wrote about me. What blocked and reported.

Speaker 4 (22:58):
Was that you Corey, you wouldn't talk about your dad?
Was he?

Speaker 5 (23:00):
Yeah? Fight? Yeah, you're going to fight.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
That sounded like you when after Larry Lambert to me,
don't do that. Yeah, somebody just blocked and reported me.

Speaker 5 (23:10):
The Wolves battle the Rockets tonight at eight thirty. Your
Wolves are twenty seven and fourteen. The Wolves will be
without Aunt again tonight. The Rockets are three and a
half point favorites.

Speaker 4 (23:21):
Be without Ant again.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
The Rockets are favored.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
Yeah, because even though they just played Oklahoma City last
night and the Wolves are red hot even without Ant.
Interesting you want action, let me double check again.

Speaker 4 (23:34):
Here's a crazy thing about basketball.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
This seems weird.

Speaker 4 (23:36):
I just don't like it.

Speaker 10 (23:37):
Yeah, I have a question. Pall your hands up. Can
Perish and hockey? Name three former Houston Rockets?

Speaker 2 (23:48):
What side are you on? No, I'll gamble a canny
act that they can. I bet they can.

Speaker 5 (24:04):
You think so? Yep?

Speaker 3 (24:07):
I think enough to gamble a caniact that they can
get it. And I think I can know. I think
I can guess the exact.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
Three. How about four? No, the number is three?

Speaker 5 (24:17):
All right? I mean all right, we're.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Betting a cane act all time, Houston Rockets.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
I'm gonna write down my three that I think they're
gonna get, and let's see if they're the same.

Speaker 5 (24:27):
Three. This one, this one and this one. These are
the three I think they're gonna get.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
All right, two we're not going to say anything, so
they say final answer.

Speaker 4 (24:40):
I bet they are. I have Hakeem ye and James Harden.

Speaker 11 (24:45):
Oh, I was thinking, is Charles Barkley? I don't think so,
did IoT? He played for the Suns. He was greater
than the Sun's bead. Right, what's that again? The Barkley
didn't have a beard. He has your hair. What about
Clyde bred Clyde the Clive. Okay, so maybe maybe I

(25:14):
had one.

Speaker 4 (25:15):
Clyde the Glive. That could be.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
But there's a there's another tall guy.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
Oh what about that? Yao, ming.

Speaker 4 (25:26):
You got it? I think you're right.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
I think I am too.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Right.

Speaker 4 (25:29):
That's our three.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
So who are the three? Yoo, Main, Keem.

Speaker 4 (25:35):
And James Harden Harden chicken boom.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
The first three you named the first year I wrote
down Charles Barkley, A Keem Elijah and James Harden.

Speaker 5 (25:45):
You switched and with but I'll take it.

Speaker 4 (25:48):
Look it up.

Speaker 5 (25:48):
That Canniac on the bowl.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
I don't remember being there. Was he there with a
quem no because he never won a championship?

Speaker 3 (25:56):
Barkley was there? When was Barkley there? Was it right after?
Was either right after they won?

Speaker 5 (26:08):
Yeah? I was there either way.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
I'm glad you went went with Yao because Yeao was
the Hall of Famer that I just wouldn't have expected
you would have remembered.

Speaker 10 (26:16):
He was there from ninety six to two thousand.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Together. We are NBA.

Speaker 5 (26:22):
That was good man, that was very good.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
We are impressive.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
So power trop bets can tell me what the count is.
That's got to be eight nine ten range.

Speaker 5 (26:30):
Yeah, it's high.

Speaker 3 (26:31):
A lot of canny X coming my way. Well done, Corey,
Well done you guys. That was like not even close.
You weren't even I mean the closest you got to
being wrong was Clive, which is double wrong. But okay,
Clive Saus what else? Oh no not, Please don't fall

(26:54):
on your porch.

Speaker 5 (26:54):
The Dodgers signed the best available free agent, Kyle Tucker,
to a four year, two hundred and forty million dollars deal.

Speaker 6 (27:03):
Baseball Money sixty million dollars a year. The money, Baby
money loves to rub it in too. I got a
text from all the highest paid contracts by MLB, and
my lord, those boys get paid.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
I'm sure that you guys know that name. I don't
know that name. He's making sixty million dollars a year.

Speaker 6 (27:23):
Yeah, he was a Chicago Cup. I think he plays
in the Yes, he is. He's an outstanding baseball player.
But yeah, now, I mean that's what I mean. He's
a he's an all star. I don't know how big
of a superstar he is, but that's the money they're
making an MLB right now.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
It's like a dollar an hour. Mom, Dad, Come on,
I was playing that sport too.

Speaker 4 (27:43):
You and Taife for both Major League Baseball.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
Yeah, you both picked the wrong sport to.

Speaker 4 (27:48):
Beat each other up, and your head's hurt.

Speaker 5 (27:50):
Up.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
You guys picked the wrong sport. I picked basketball. What
was I thinking?

Speaker 6 (27:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (27:56):
You were way off, miss Waiting a mile whoop.

Speaker 3 (27:59):
See I'm not a racist either, but I'm a five
to eleven white guy. I picked the wrong sports and
I wasn't very good. That didn't help either.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
John Stockton, Nope, man, that was the dream. Can I
be John?

Speaker 5 (28:13):
Stockton.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
The answer was no.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
So I was watching I was at our social in
Rodgers last night and the NBA was playing a basketball
game in Germany.

Speaker 4 (28:22):
Did you know that was that last night? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
Anyway, they had two guys from Germany that did like
the opening ceremonies.

Speaker 4 (28:30):
Dirk was the first one. Do you know who the
other one was? I could.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
I sat there for a longest time trying to figure
out who we was. So they finally fightched the name up.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
There another German, another German, Debt Left Shrimps, And I
was like, the only reason I know that name is
because the way that guy used to say his.

Bro.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
So last night, Corey, So I've been I've had an
issue with my neck for the longest time. I just, uh,
I get these lumps in my neck, you know, like
people do.

Speaker 4 (30:26):
Right. What I'm is called Corey, and that's called meat.

Speaker 5 (30:28):
Sage.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
Sure Hi Hi Hi Hi, and it bothers me all
the time. And so I've been thinking about buying one
of those neck massagers. And I went to best Buy
last night and tried one on, like put it on
and almost bought.

Speaker 4 (30:41):
It and nothing. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
And I left and this morning Paris brought in my
Christmas President he's had since Christmas and it's a neck
massager like the one I was about to buy last night.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
How crazy is that? And you're gonna love it, dude, absolutely, Yeah,
I know.

Speaker 6 (30:54):
I've I've got that same thing with the concussions and
the neck issues and everything, and I need to loosen
that up. I haven't named my lumps because I don't
want to send my children.

Speaker 5 (31:03):
Yeah, lady Lumps.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
So thank you, buddy, Absolutely love you, buddy. Mary Christy.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
Remember the song Lump by Presidents of the United States
of America Slammer that song just a great point.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
Yes, my five was a great song.

Speaker 5 (31:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
I saw Presidency in the United States of America at
First Avenue and it was badass.

Speaker 4 (31:23):
Didn't it open for weer other way around?

Speaker 3 (31:25):
No separate show. But again that was That's when we
went on this random month or so ago about how
ticket prices across the country are just astronomical. On how
do kids afford these these days? I would go to
the website and basically see who's playing first ave Oh,
presidents in the United States.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
Oh that's twelve bucks. I know, lumps, let's go watch them.

Speaker 5 (31:43):
Yeah, man, it would be like twelve bucks. I would like.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
Last second, I would just go buy a ticket at
the door, and I remember going, man, the door tickets
are four dollars more. I wish I would have bought
the's online. This is sixteen bucks a piece. Now oh man,
Now I can't afford a shirt because the shirts are
eight bucks. Oh god. Presidents, I don't know. That's a

(32:08):
good question. I haven't heard anything out of them in
a long long time.

Speaker 4 (32:11):
But no, they seen the country.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
They were a fun band.

Speaker 4 (32:15):
That's fun.

Speaker 5 (32:16):
Man.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
They had a song called dune Buggy that was kind
of dumb but fun.

Speaker 4 (32:19):
It does seem like they were just having a good exactly.

Speaker 5 (32:22):
They don't think they took themselves too seriously, yeah, man, which.

Speaker 4 (32:24):
Is crazy because everybody else at that time was yep,
you know.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
Well, you call yourself the presidents of the United States
of America I don't think you're taking yourself too seriously.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
Probably not.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
Why not they stopped like Viking site? Okay, think a
right COVID. Do you know Corey off top of your head?
How much over the cap the Vikings are protected to be?

Speaker 5 (32:47):
The cap is a myth.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
You can sign whoever you want to whatever you want,
But for now they have to act like they're like
thirty five or forty million over forty six forty six
okay over the cap.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
I figure that includes the rollover surplus from twenty twenty five.
A sizeable increase to the salary cap would right that number.
Minos said also has plenty of levers to pull cutting
veterans like Javon Hargrave and Ryan Kelly, which I would
say Ryan probably will retire.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
I don't know, but I'm guessing right.

Speaker 5 (33:15):
I would think so.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
And Javon I wouldn't be surprised if they cut him.
That would create nearly twenty million dollars in cap space.

Speaker 3 (33:21):
Rudolph is definitely a target or not Rudolph, what's his name?
It is definitely a target of YEP, cap space saving.

Speaker 4 (33:29):
Rudolph was a target of the snow monster.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
Sure they bounced.

Speaker 4 (33:34):
What was his name, Bumble Bumble Bounce.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
The Vikings will also discuss running back Aaron Jones and
tied in TJ.

Speaker 4 (33:45):
Hopkinson. This according to The Athletic.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
By the way, their contracts will require restructures or releases.

Speaker 4 (33:52):
I hope Aaron can be restructured. I love that guy.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
Everybody does.

Speaker 4 (33:56):
Guy's the best.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
Extending right tackle Brian O'Neil could lower the cap number
even further. The Vikings can also push back money for
core players like Justin Jefferson, with confidence that his.

Speaker 4 (34:06):
Production will continue.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
Yeah, a lot of things to do, but we do
have to have some money because we.

Speaker 4 (34:13):
Need some players. Yeah, line and a quarterback. To be
honest with you, Yeah right, there's.

Speaker 5 (34:20):
Already rumors floating around about Aaron Rodgers again.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
Yeah, the name's already popping up.

Speaker 4 (34:24):
Let's do it. I tried to tell you last time.
You guys wouldn't listen to me.

Speaker 5 (34:27):
Yeah, I think I was on that side. I think so.
It's not like it.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
He said he was just quoting super Troopers. Yeah, great film.

Speaker 4 (34:36):
He didn't put us in the movie. Again, they got it.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
Yeah, he's dead to me, Wow he died. No, he's
just dead to me.

Speaker 3 (34:44):
Oh all we want to do is be movie stars,
and the guy won't help us out.

Speaker 4 (34:48):
Got dumel, He won't put me in a movie? What
is wrong with my face?

Speaker 5 (34:52):
It's handsome?

Speaker 4 (34:53):
Just put my a word in. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (34:58):
So Matt Damon was talking to us to about haven't
heard that he has a good Was this Stern or Conan?
I don't remember which one, it doesn't matter. He was
talking about how during the adjustment bureau, Saw says, that's
the one that you were bringing up. My man, memory's bad.
I don't know if I don't even know. Maybe we
talked about this or maybe this will go on my head.

Speaker 5 (35:17):
I just now, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
Like the line, the reality blurs between did I talk
to my dad about this? Did I talk to you
guys about this? Was his onf air. No, it wasn't
the scuttle. But when during the adjustment Bureau, Emily Blunt
and him are in some scene and there's a throwaway
actor that's playing at Matre D and Matt Damon was

(35:39):
talking about when you are an extra or a throwaway actor,
a day player, that that's your shot, whether you have
a line or not, Like your job is to maximize
your three seconds of screen time, right, that's your job.
And Matt says he remembers those days and respects those
people for doing their best. So he says, they do
this scene with matre D and Emily Blunt and him

(36:03):
walk away and they both go, god, dang, that guy
was super good, Like what was the deal with that guy?

Speaker 2 (36:09):
Like? That guy was really good.

Speaker 3 (36:10):
That scene ends up getting cut because it just didn't matter, right,
that matreat that was just a throwaway, no big deal,
ended up being Pedro Pascal.

Speaker 4 (36:19):
Are you kidding?

Speaker 2 (36:20):
They both just were like, man, this guy can act,
like what is this? But again he just had a throwaway.

Speaker 4 (36:24):
That guy's great, By the way, it's incredible.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
Yeah, we're talking about before this. How do we get here?

Speaker 5 (36:31):
Is now? I completely lost my cap space?

Speaker 4 (36:33):
No, yeah, but I brought up something that was a
non sequitur.

Speaker 5 (36:36):
And now I lost it because it was sixty seconds ago.

Speaker 4 (36:39):
And I'm never going to bring one of us members anything.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
I freaking hate anybody. How do we get to this?
You remember anyone?

Speaker 5 (36:48):
Man? Brain pills and.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
I've been taking them. I don't think they work my memory,
and he found in your job, I don't remember.

Speaker 5 (37:01):
I don't do you remember how we got here.

Speaker 4 (37:05):
You might have to rewind the tape like we got
to review.

Speaker 5 (37:07):
It, rewind the.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
Challenge.

Speaker 5 (37:11):
It's gonna be worse.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
What if we rewind the tape and I still can't
remember where we were going with this?

Speaker 4 (37:16):
We remind the tape and it's terrible.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
Radio Quick it definitely was.

Speaker 5 (37:19):
Where are we at right now?

Speaker 3 (37:21):
I don't even know right now? Serious question for you
doctors out there. What are there supplements we, as a
power to one in show should be taking for brain health?
Are there brain health supplements or pills or powders the
brain on the top of your head? Are we missing

(37:43):
something like? Should we be just doing shots of fish oil?

Speaker 2 (37:47):
What should we be doing?

Speaker 6 (37:48):
You know, we'll forget to take Yeah, called I've got qualitia.
