00:00:00
Speaker 1: Dad, common man, common man, no show pep, no solid plan sans a harn. We can't seit, approach or fail tune in. It's time for common man, common man, common man, charge the housewives like going?
00:00:20
Speaker 2: Can watch you shoot word replying?
00:00:23
Speaker 1: Non's nonsense on deck to day duty man.
00:00:27
Speaker 2: It's time for common man.
00:00:30
Speaker 3: Oh boy?
00:00:33
Speaker 4: Why should anybody aspire to be a common man? An average man? Do you realize what it means to be average? That means you're the best of the lousiest and the lousiest of the best. Now, if we demand more and more for producing less and less while they have not nations and courage and inspire and indeed require hard work and maximum effort, if we deify the common man while they encourage and reward the uncommon ones, well, the result of such a lopsided race as that is too obvious to require elaboration.
00:01:05
Speaker 3: I mean, it's like hello, I'm a fraud. When the Vikings and the Bears play, it's it's a street fight. If you're gonna get ready for a street fight, you better start getting right now. Huh.
00:01:38
Speaker 1: I didn't say that, common don't put words in my mouth.
00:01:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, Rosie, do you think that's the information I would like to know.
00:02:20
Speaker 2: This is not Detroit man.
00:02:21
Speaker 3: This is a circle, Paul.
00:02:24
Speaker 2: Now, don't deal with speculation. It is wearing woman's underwear part of your tim Yeah, baby, it was a nice run. There's an old saying in Tennessee.
00:02:54
Speaker 3: I know it's you, sus.
00:02:54
Speaker 2: The problem in Tennessee that they threw me. One wants shame on me.
00:02:58
Speaker 3: Shame on me, po me what calame on you?
00:03:03
Speaker 2: I won't get fooled again. The pool pulled the pool again. That's exactly right.
00:03:09
Speaker 3: I'm a fraud.
00:03:10
Speaker 5: Yes, he's the clown from Brown, He's the fourth in the North.
00:03:18
Speaker 2: This is the common man, Dan Cole. You know who did the song? Won't get fooled again?
00:03:26
Speaker 6: That's the who, isn't I'm just guess who. I don't want you to guess. I was wondering if you I'm asking if you know? I mean, guess who?
00:03:37
Speaker 2: Guess who?
00:03:39
Speaker 5: I know?
00:03:40
Speaker 2: Why would I guess? I'm asking you? Do you know who did the song? Was insane that you would guess. I was just saying, guess who?
00:03:48
Speaker 3: Okay, uh?
00:03:50
Speaker 2: Three eleven. They're light years ahead of the Beatles. Maybe they covered it, but no, it's a guess who. So so we're after a great start today.
00:03:58
Speaker 5: This is called the throat. I think people don't even need to know. This is a throw in the towel. Thursday is what it is a lot of topics to get to today. No, I didn't play even I didn't play it. Well, they won't let ye out out a day like today. They go, there's snow on the greens, and this is just so awful though, I mean that the timing couldn't have been worse for me. I took tomorrow off.
00:04:18
Speaker 2: I don't take many days off.
00:04:20
Speaker 5: I've been I've been semi retired for like since I was twenty two years old.
00:04:26
Speaker 3: Right, and.
00:04:30
Speaker 5: Baby brother Peter bbp's coming back from the this weekend for Easter flying in tonight. I pick them up at the old airport at eight thirty. Then BBP, a couple of buddies of his and myself. We were gonna go play golf all day long. Sticker in the stick, the tea in the ground. At seven thirty am, play eighteen, have a quick bite, t eat and play eighteen again.
00:04:53
Speaker 2: Zad Okay, the.
00:04:54
Speaker 5: Only day you can't play. Now here's the thing. So far, it hasn't snow. It's been rained. There was a little bit of snow overnight as long as and the snow turned into rained. Do you know what song that's from? Dan Fogeberg Old lang Zine. He took the idea actually from Harry Chapin, because you know, Harry Chapin has the song Taxi where he meets his old lover. You know, she was going to be an actress. I was gonna learn to fly. She took off to find the foot lights. I took off to find the sky. And she said how are you, Harry? And I said how are you, Sue? And then of course they weren't meant for each other anymore, That's why they but they went to She took off to find the foot lights, He took off to find the sky. Dan Fogelberg, the late Dan Foger wrote a song about called old Lang Same Old lang zine, and he meets his old lover in a grocery store. The snow was falling Christmas Eve.
00:05:44
Speaker 2: So is that kind of a song?
00:05:45
Speaker 3: Is you know?
00:05:45
Speaker 2: Unrequired?
00:05:46
Speaker 5: Or two lovers ships that had passed through the nights and they'd gone their separate ways. And he got the idea from Harry or did Harry Chapin get it from Dan Fogelberg. Look up same old lang zine and tell me what that was released? And then Harry Chapin Taxi. Somebody took the idea for just the concept of this of the song, right, you know, Hey, I'll have two I'll of a guy and a gal who were lovers at one time. They went their separate raise, they happened to bump into each other again, and they realize it's it was meant to be. It was meant to be that they broke up there, there was there was no reason for them to stay together. Here she's acting handsome inside her hand. Here she's acting happy inside her handsome home. Me, I'm flying at my taxi, taking tips and getting stoned.
00:06:36
Speaker 7: Same old lension as a song written recorded by Dan Fogelberg, released as a single in nineteen eighty.
00:06:41
Speaker 5: Nineteen eighty, Yeah, I think Chapin did Taxi in the seventies. So Fogelberg probably one of those writer's blocks, can't come up with anything, and he's going, you know that Harry Chapin song is genius where he meets his old you know, his old gal in the tax He's driving a taxi.
00:06:58
Speaker 2: She's married to a rich guy.
00:07:00
Speaker 5: I'll do something because even the line he goes, she married herself an architect who kept her warm and safe and dry.
00:07:08
Speaker 2: She'd like to say she loved the man, but she didn't like to lie, so she married him for the money. That's why she married him. And same with Harry Champins Gal.
00:07:17
Speaker 5: She was acting happy inside her handsome home and he's flying in his taxi, taking tips and getting stone.
00:07:22
Speaker 2: He goes flying so high when he's stone. See why do we start talking about this no idea? We were you talking about not being able to play golf, so speaking of yes, that's what it was. Thank you.
00:07:40
Speaker 5: So as long as it continues to rain, there will be no snow and we can play. It's going to be forty one tomorrow afternoon, Well it's it's gulfable. If you had the day off and your wife gave you permission and it was going to be forty one degrees, you'd play.
00:08:00
Speaker 7: When you I think i'd go to a party, barn. Oh really, I'd do a simulator golf. I don't know if they'd be too excited to go out and actually golf.
00:08:11
Speaker 5: So like yesterday, I couldn't convince you to go out when it was real feel of twenty five degrees, because that's what it was yesterday when I teaed off real feel twenty five degrees. This might come as a surprise, you obvious. The only one on the golf course, sprise. Nobody else was there. And when I got to the clubhouse, nobody else was there. I may have been the only person to golf. Well, no, it got warmer in the afternoon, I mean sort of wind was still blown. But I'm sure there were some people that played a little golf, so we no need has been the wheel of topic.
00:08:39
Speaker 7: I You know how in politics we have a lot of the fringe crazies on the outsides.
00:08:47
Speaker 2: Yeah we have. That's you on the golf course.
00:08:49
Speaker 5: Yeah I am a fringe graze. Yeah, there's no doubt I am. I'm hooked on ahee one is when I'm hooked on. I'm just hooked on playing golf.
00:08:56
Speaker 2: I just enjoy it now.
00:09:00
Speaker 5: Yesterday I said, I was telling Rosen, I'm going to watch the Twins. I like watching great pitching performances. Huh, the score was closer, or the score was the game was more of a blog? How am I trying to say it.
00:09:15
Speaker 3: It was through.
00:09:16
Speaker 2: The game was not as closed as the would end it.
00:09:18
Speaker 5: That's exactly right, because it was twelve to one a down point. It was just a beatdown and you know, I guess Joe Ryan probably didn't have his best stuff, but it was miserable conditions. I'm surprised they even played the game. It was raining at the beginning of the game. There was a time where it was coming down so hard. Joe was saying, I need a new baseball, Give me a new baseball. They were bringing out rosen bags by the half dozen. They the grounds crew was coming up and they were opening up sand. Though when they brought the sand bags, I thought the stadium was about to flood. I thought they were going to build a dyke, and instead they just had to spread sand all over. Think about this, I was locked How sad is this statement on me? I was locked in even when it was twelve to one. I wanted to see how bad I could get. I wanted to see it was it was. After all, they batted around where the guy that led off the inning and scored, he ended up coming up, so he's the tenth guy to the play. Then I told Deuce I said he made the final out, and they're probably going, what did you do that for? You know, how do you make the final out against this rag tag pitching club. I thought they were just going to keep batting forever, like how many? I wonder what the Major League Baseball record is for most at bats in an INNY You know how many times how many batters have come to the play, because last night it was ten.
00:10:35
Speaker 2: I know that's not a record because that's happened before. Teams have batted around.
00:10:41
Speaker 5: But I think this Twins outfit has a chance to break a lot of records, and not the historically good records, but the biblically bad records.
00:10:49
Speaker 2: They are not one in four. I think on the season might be one in five. I might have lost track of a game a loss there somewhere.
00:10:56
Speaker 5: It's a good thing they have those those a day off you know, those those day off game days off schedule between games. Otherwise they'd be one and six right now. They're lucky they're only one in four. Did you find a number for that?
00:11:12
Speaker 2: The the AI we want to go to AI over here?
00:11:18
Speaker 3: Yeah? Why not?
00:11:19
Speaker 2: It's not always accurates closer.
00:11:21
Speaker 7: The record for most played appearances by a team in a single MLB inning is twenty three, set by the Chicago White Stockings and the seventh inning against the Detroit Wolverines on September sixth.
00:11:30
Speaker 2: Eighteen eighty three. I remember that game, eighteen run inning. There's a picture of Rosen from that game. It's a famous photo. He was in the stands.
00:11:37
Speaker 7: Five players batted three times. More recently, the years in a Diamondbacks had eighteen players.
00:11:42
Speaker 2: I bet in one inning.
00:11:43
Speaker 5: Eighteen players in one inning. That's through the lineup twice if my math is correct. I'm actually surprised there's not more than that.
00:11:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I know what.
00:11:55
Speaker 5: You're saying, but I'm kind of surprised that much. I mean, how bad is your pitchings half have to be? Or is the other team that just hot hitting? That's eighteen guys.
00:12:04
Speaker 2: Here, it's a combination of us. You only need to get three outs for crying out loud?
00:12:08
Speaker 7: Are we sure there's Saints thing give up? They're in that twenty walk performance other night.
00:12:12
Speaker 2: That's that's a good that's a good question. We should probably look into that. But again, I know there are other people that Rosen said it.
00:12:19
Speaker 5: He was you know he was scoffing at the Twins and he was going, lie, maybe I should I shouldn't do this, you know, because he was I at feeling guilty for scoffing out there. I don't know why he said he shouldn't do it anymore. I've scoffed at him forever. But I truly believe in the historically good, biblically bad. I'll watch their next game now and see how bad I can go.
00:12:38
Speaker 3: They're one and four.
00:12:39
Speaker 2: How bad can he get to it them?
00:12:41
Speaker 3: Well?
00:12:43
Speaker 2: Is that? Is it wrong? My question for you, tenn Tobe.
00:12:46
Speaker 5: Is closer going to Chad Abbott and doing an inside joe for you?
00:12:49
Speaker 3: Is it wrong?
00:12:51
Speaker 2: Is it wrong to root against the hometown team. I don't think it is. I mean, because I.
00:12:57
Speaker 5: Would if let's say I started watching, you know, let's I watch. Let's say they won tonight, and then one again, then one again, one again. Let's say they went on a twenty out of twenty two. I'd be going, hey, nineteen ninety one all over again, and I would be pulling for them to win. At that point, I go whichever way the wind blows.
00:13:15
Speaker 2: If the Twins already started tanking, she said, why do you always end up at Nick's Cafe? And I said, well, the wind just kind of blew me that way. Man, Okay, we'll take a break. I think they are. I don't know if they're tanking intentionally, but it sure does have of the appearance of that. We'll break. We'll come back a little death at lat and a peek at the Purple Next Common Man program the Van.
00:13:47
Speaker 7: There's nothing like live hockey Experience Minnesota Wild Action at Grand Casino Arena all season long, including to Wild Versus Kracking on April seventh and Wild Versus Ducks on April fourteenth. Secure your seats now, Wild dot Com slash Tikison join the excitement.
00:14:10
Speaker 2: How are you at multitasking? Ten Tobee? Can you multitask?
00:14:12
Speaker 7: I'm not a great multitasker. I'm going to try to someone that if I'm doing something and then you ask me just something else, I have to finish what I'm doing first before I move on.
00:14:20
Speaker 2: I don't have that option.
00:14:22
Speaker 3: I have to I have to do.
00:14:28
Speaker 5: Though I can sleepwalk through it right, but I also have to write a spec spot for a client meeting that the salesperson is going to be at at two thirty and it's a two person I got to write it. It's a two person spec spot, and Blake Moore is going to produce it and be the guy, the second voice on the commercial. So I'm going to be writing as we're talking, So I might skip lunch during five three four writing a commercial while you are asking me really long winded questions.
00:14:59
Speaker 2: Burrero likewise, uestions is what I'll be looking for. I don't know if you can edit those a little bit and ask I don't have burly questions, but I'm sure I'll get to the end of it, and then you'll ask some hockey stuff, and then I'll just say I'll lean on you for the hockey stuff. Peek at the purples, brought to you by our friends lean on Me when you're nut strong. Do you know who did the song? Yes? I've actually.
00:15:22
Speaker 5: Yes has never done lean on Me. I know the entire Yes discography. They've never They've done Close to the Edge, They've down Roundabout, They've done.
00:15:34
Speaker 2: You and I, They've done.
00:15:40
Speaker 5: A Survival, they've done Starship Trooper. They've never done a song called lean.
00:15:44
Speaker 3: On Me, Thank You.
00:15:46
Speaker 7: I've literally listened to lean on Me about one hundred times in the last five days.
00:15:50
Speaker 2: And why would that be. We just got a piano in our house, okay, and can you sing us a song? You're the piano man sing us a song for free?
00:15:59
Speaker 7: Samson has been early into it, and so I just we've we've started doing just like basically YouTube lessons, okay, right, And I just went to like easiest songs to play piano for basically beginners and lean on me. Bill Withers came up. So he's been playing that NonStop over the last five days.
00:16:18
Speaker 5: Chopsticks not come up first, because I would think that'd be the most the simplest song to play.
00:16:23
Speaker 2: Why don't you get him to do a little Chaikowski? Just I mean really, I.
00:16:29
Speaker 5: Mean, if you're gonna start, It's sort of like when when when Deuce was I took them parallel parking and we went to behind Red Rock Elementary and I set up those sticks, you know, the rape City, and he wasn't able to do I said, let's just go up and do real parallel parking in a parking lot up in Woodbury. So we went to a place he's never done it before. I got on parking between real cars, just put it let's dive into this. Yeah, I did it to Pete when when Pete was first gonna learn how to drive. We're at the Holiday gas station in in Cottage Grove. So I go, here you go, here's the keys, torst the keys. We're at the gas pump. I go, we go, what I go, We're gonna go drive? He goes, aren't we gonna go to a parking lot?
00:17:07
Speaker 2: Practice? First practice practice?
00:17:11
Speaker 5: We're gonna go out on the streets the first time he was ever behind the wheel of the car. And I took them on on four ninety four right away. I'm on the freeway.
00:17:18
Speaker 2: Is that is that illegal?
00:17:21
Speaker 7: The only way you can learn is by doing that, That's what I'm saying. So they have it easy now because back when I had to parallel park, we didn't have those fancy cameras every time you went in, and the rule was if you hit the cones, you flunk, you flunk the test. So I think I went zero for eight on my parallel parking my test. I still passed the test, but that part because I just did I didn't want to hit the cones.
00:17:43
Speaker 5: Well, you know what, I think I could be wrong here, but I think now that the kids are so soft, right that you can just tell the instructor give me the zero on the parallel parking because I don't want to flunk, right, because if you hit the cone, it's over.
00:17:56
Speaker 2: It's over.
00:17:57
Speaker 5: So you just say, I'll take the zero points figuring if I you well enough on everything, you know everything else, you know, hands at ten and two, turn signal, check the mirror, do this, do that this dad laugh, Then you'll you'll you'll, you'll pass. So, uh well, I like that's exciting that he's playing. Because both baby brother Peter and Deuce they in high school. It was either you do band or you do choir, so they both did band. Douce stuck with it longer than baby brother Peter. Baby reduced did the cello, and he did it for a couple of years, and he he got fairly adept at it.
00:18:29
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not gonna call him. Uh was that guy's name yo?
00:18:34
Speaker 3: Yo? No?
00:18:36
Speaker 2: What's his name?
00:18:36
Speaker 3: Yo?
00:18:38
Speaker 2: There's the famous cello guy. I don't know there was a famous cello. Yes, yes, his name's like Yoyo would be a great rap name. By the way, it wouldn't be.
00:18:51
Speaker 5: Yo yo ma yeh see yo Yo Yoma, not Yo Yo Dad, but yo Yo my Yo Yo Dad's another guy that's a great name.
00:18:58
Speaker 2: Yo Yoma right there. He's brilliant. So Deuce wasn't Yo Yo Ma was. He was a yo Yo Pablo Casals.
00:19:06
Speaker 5: He wasn't Pablo Cassolts either, but he was okay At Pete did the trumpet and was just awful because he didn't want to do it. Sure, he had no interest in doing it at all. I took a secret video of him when he was getting dressed up for it. I still have it to this day. He can't be more than twelve years old, maybe younger, because this might have actually been in middle school when they started. Yeah, I was middle school when they started. And so he's he was blown into the trumpet, just making noise. And I said, it sounds like an elephant that's dying.
00:19:35
Speaker 3: That's how bad it was.
00:19:37
Speaker 2: And I had my phone on my knee and I.
00:19:39
Speaker 5: Was his video and when I still haven't to this day, and it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
00:19:44
Speaker 2: Is not wrong to video your boy when he doesn't know it, when he's playing the trumpet. No, I thought it was just brilliant. Those are the comman I have another one at Deuce. He's at the breakfast table before school and his chin's down on the table like this, and.
00:19:57
Speaker 5: He's his chin is actually resting on the table and he's shoveling cereal into his mouth because he's just so depressed that.
00:20:04
Speaker 2: He's got to go to school. I've got that on video too.
00:20:08
Speaker 3: It's just so good.
00:20:09
Speaker 2: Is there anything to talk about with the Purple?
00:20:11
Speaker 3: Pick?
00:20:11
Speaker 2: At the Purple I didn't really see anything. You know, it's again, did you look? I did. I looked at the athletic and it was yesterday's story. Where now to just google Minnesota Vikings?
00:20:22
Speaker 3: Yeah?
00:20:23
Speaker 2: Well, alec Lewis did a piece like what I learned at the meetings, just about the quarterback room. And then I think the one thing is do you think the wills Will were very noncommittal on general manager? Oh yeah, we'll see what what Rob wants to do.
00:20:38
Speaker 5: And but they're gonna they're not just gonna hand it to Rob Berzinski doesn't sound like and then they have to know. I don't think Brazinski has really said if he's interested in that job. And as you brought up yesterday, capologist guy, seems like there's there's job security there if you're good at you know, yeah, being a solid capologists, because you're not making decisions on person, You're just.
00:21:00
Speaker 2: Saying, here's the money. What do you need me to do? When loss doesn't affect your job?
00:21:05
Speaker 5: You just you need media to work on these contracts and get under the salary cap number. All right, give me a couple of my burn the midnight. All you're done, and you get in, you get out. You get to go to the owner suite and watch the game.
00:21:16
Speaker 2: But as general manager, if if if, if you, if you like trade down and draft Lewis Cne, you lose your job. It's it's over.
00:21:24
Speaker 5: So I you know, now my guest is general manager. Play pays more than capologist, I would think. But then again, is it all about the money?
00:21:33
Speaker 2: Right?
00:21:34
Speaker 5: So I think I think they'll give him a fair shake. I would, I would think. I mean, he's been with the organization for I want to twenty thirty years something like that, and I and you know, look what what what what they did say that I took from there? I guess this kind of goes for anybody who's gonna going to be you know, the the face of the organization.
00:21:59
Speaker 2: He's gonna be the head guy. You know, we're looking for a guy that's got really good leadership skills.
00:22:02
Speaker 5: Well, I would hope so as the president of football operations.
00:22:07
Speaker 2: They don't. I don't think they call him general manager anymore.
00:22:09
Speaker 5: They had that fancy name, but you know, president of football operations. I would hope you want a good leader. But then again, what is a You know, sometimes Timby, have you ever it's happened here we've worked under you were here. You were working when a Selmo was still running the Oh yeah, okay, so look and then who was after that was Crusher Crushing, Then it was uh Tyler, then it was Alexander and I it was my good friend Donnie Linquist. And they all have different leadership styles. Yeah, and I thought they were all fine. You know what I don't like is the guy.
00:23:01
Speaker 2: I don't know how to say it. Maybe I just keep my mouth shut. I was very intrigued where this is going I.
00:23:10

Speaker 7: We always go two weeks out, So what would the date beat but the twelfth, the ten days from now? Yeah, yeah, I better get on my horse.
00:24:58
Speaker 2: You better get on your horse. I'm a little behind. Yeah, on my research. Your lego horse is behind.
00:25:03
Speaker 5: Hey, oh okay, hold on, I'm busy writing commercial copy.
00:25:11
Speaker 3: But I did have I saw this.
00:25:15
Speaker 2: Let me go to my notes. I usually took notes today. Twins simply awful. That's what I wrote. That was my trigger. That's good analysis.
00:25:25
Speaker 5: That's good analysis, Thank you very much. I Oh, the Abs lost to the Canucks last night. The Canucks are the worst team in hockey. Eight to six is the final score? Is Fred Hoiberg coaching that team? Did they forget to put the goalie in the game?
00:25:46
Speaker 2: I worked on that line all morning, Actually I did. It just came to my head right away when I thought about it this morning. They got destroyed Tennaby.
00:25:54
Speaker 5: You know here I am, yeah, you know, a concerned about the wild you know, seven seven and two since the Olympics, they're they their their productivity as plummeted as when you know, there at the top of the rankings for all the great offensive and the defensive statistics. And they've been, they've been, they've they've dropped like a rock or dropped like a pocket center at center rice for the opening face off. But I see, how do the lanch lose. How do you give up bait goals? Who was their goaltender? For crying out loud, did they just what did they have to go to emergency goaltender?
00:26:24
Speaker 1: Guy?
00:26:25
Speaker 2: That's a beatdown of epic abortions.
00:26:27
Speaker 7: Right, I'm trying to get into the box score to see who was playing goalie for him last night.
00:26:34
Speaker 2: Eighty six was the final score, and so you know about the bank.
00:26:39
Speaker 7: The Vancouver goalie had a sixty percent eighty percent save percentage, which is really bad and won the game. Yeah, uh goalie last night to it looks like they both played a little bit brisk govlo. I'm assuming Blackwood got the start, he gave up six goals and then Wedgewood came in gave up the last. All they must given up an empty NT or two.
00:26:57
Speaker 2: Oh, they're the goalie games, are black Wood Wedgwood?
00:27:01
Speaker 3: Yes?
00:27:03
Speaker 5: I wonder if they ever get confused which guy's going in, because if you don't hear him say Wedgwood wouldnt get in the game.
00:27:10
Speaker 2: I skates out to the ice.
00:27:12
Speaker 7: So one, I would say, the difference between like your best and worst teams in the National Hockey League is not a huge gap. The second thing I would say, is the Wild aren't the only team that is just trying to get to the postseason.
00:27:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess. I.
00:27:32
Speaker 7: I mean, as we've talked about the Wild and how disappointing they've been over the last couple of weeks or especially over the month of March, well Dallas has actually been worse over the last ten games than the Wild have been. Dallas is three five and two in their last ten and well, the Wild they're four to five and one in Colorado, They're they're winning the division, they're going to have the number one seed all wrapped up. So it's and also they are without Cale mccarr uh. He got hurt a couple of days ago. I'm not sure exactly on the severity of it. They just set upper body injury. I'm sure at this point you're just you're being cautious at all, especially with the Cale maccar so one. They're playing without one of their two best players, you know, arguably the best defenseman in the league. Sure that doesn't help, but also, are they really going to be sacrificing their bodies to block Vancouver Canucks shots or to go in and try to win one on one battles in the corners. I think a lot of these teams at this stage, when they know where they're going to be, they're trying to set up for the playoffs.
00:28:34
Speaker 2: Let me ask you another question.
00:28:36
Speaker 5: Yeah, hockey always does upper body and lower bodies. Yes, you, being the hockey guy here, the guy that I trust the most, I have you Russo and Nanny in that order.
00:28:46
Speaker 2: And Fallness is rising quickly, gorg is in there. You guys at the top.
00:28:49
Speaker 7: Five say, falness is rising quickly, Yeah, falnessous.
00:28:56
Speaker 2: This list is really thinned out over the years, hasn't it.
00:28:58
Speaker 3: Yes, it has.
00:29:00
Speaker 2: So if there was a we'd have to add a fifth face to the amount rushmore of a hockey analysis.
00:29:06
Speaker 7: By the way, Russo will join the TENI Fitzgerald tomorrow at they put him at two thirty, two thirty, and then Nicoletti, who's in Vegas for the Frozen four, he'll join it at twelve thirty tomorrow.
00:29:19
Speaker 2: I think about this so tomorrow.
00:29:22
Speaker 5: Partly cloudy sky seventy two degrees and then all of a sudden twelve noon hits and well it looks like some storm clouds might be rolling and boom. Then the tenifit Cherald will get hit. When do you think it'll it'll it'll start taking.
00:29:33
Speaker 7: On there's a windy weather advisory tomorrow storms are expected.
00:29:37
Speaker 2: When do you think it will start taking out of water? Twelve O three three? Once you hear the music, well I told you.
00:29:42
Speaker 5: I get a text from Deuce and Lorim sorring guys, and it always starts out with everything you've built.
00:29:50
Speaker 2: Oh, they think they're so funny, don't they?
00:29:52
Speaker 3: Oh?
00:29:52
Speaker 2: Aren't they just are funny? Why do they want a cheap shot? Everybody? You do a fine job. There's nothing wrong with your perform I'd never rip you.
00:30:02
Speaker 3: You know that.
00:30:03
Speaker 2: You're just saying that to get people to tune in because it's your ratings. Well, there's that.
00:30:06
Speaker 5: Then let me ask you a question, generally speaking, when they say upper body, how many different upper body parts can get hurt in hockey?
00:30:14
Speaker 2: What is it usually? Is it usually? Once they say it, do you kind of know it's like, well, okay, it's a rib or that's a forearm or I mean, I know it can be a lot of different things, but is it usually?
00:30:25
Speaker 3: What is?
00:30:26
Speaker 2: And then the same with lower body? Is it is it usually an ankle?
00:30:29
Speaker 3: Is it a knee.
00:30:29
Speaker 7: Do we know, do we have any lower body could be a lot of different things. Right, upper body is probably typically be concussion, shoulder or something like hand wrists related.
00:30:38
Speaker 2: Right, you might take some slashes on the.
00:30:40
Speaker 7: Okay, makes sense, or there's there's areas that are protectedly it's you know, it's it's typically not going to be your like obleaks. You know, it sounds like you hurt your abs or bleaks or chests, okay, sure, or peck muscles a whole lot playing hockey.
00:30:53
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, your lower body could be me lower.
00:30:57
Speaker 7: Body it's gonna be a lot of hips and groins, Okay, you know, I mean that's been a lot of issues with with caprice O because he's had a lot of hip hip type injuries. But they can also lower body. You're gonna have some knee stuff pop up. You're also going to get you know, how many times you block a shot off the ankle or you might you might break some bones in your foot and your break bone in your ankle.
00:31:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we again upper body with the with the kid. Did I take concussion for epper body?
00:31:28
Speaker 3: Yeah?
00:31:28
Speaker 7: Yeah, the kid for the lanch what'd you say? His name was Cal mccarr their best player, him and Nathan mckinnony. They're both arguably, I Nathan McKinnon's the top two forward in the National Hockey League. Cal mccarr is the best defenseman the National Hockey better than Quinnesota. He's better defensively, Yes, And so I mean.
00:31:50
Speaker 5: I don't like to see players miss time because of injury and why he's hurt because we get said, but that would make things depending about how long he's out. They they lose quite a bit there, but they nothing seems to me. They're not tipping their hand at all that if it's long term, short term they never do right, just upper body.
00:32:06
Speaker 7: So I got to tell you, Okay, my guess is this is not super long term, or we would have heard about it at this point this.
00:32:13
Speaker 2: Pooka Nakua story. Have you been following this thing? I just saw that he went to treatment, but I didn't really hadn't heard much about it until then.
00:32:21
Speaker 5: Dateline La rams all pro wide out. Pookah Nakua is in rehab and was there before he was sued for assault and battery by a woman who says he made an anti Semitic statement and bit her on the shoulder on New Year's Eve, according to his attorney, Levi mccatherine told the California Post, he was in rehab a substantial period of time before any of these allegations broke, and he's scheduled to be there a while longer. A. Catherine told the newspaper Nikoua's decision to enter rehab was not a direct response to the lawsuit his accuser filed against him late last month, but an attempt to quote improve his overall behavior every aspect of his life. Nikupa issued an apology last December after performing a gesture that plays upon anti semitic tropes oil appearing on an internet live stream. I remember that story, he said. I had no idea that it was an anti site semitic.
00:33:16
Speaker 3: Gesture.
00:33:17
Speaker 2: He said he didn't know Nikoua has been one of.
00:33:19
Speaker 7: Those gone during this story, because I did not even hear about the story the first part.
00:33:24
Speaker 2: Well, I I had.
00:33:29
Speaker 5: I hold on because I saved the story from two different outlets, and the one I just did did not do a very deep dive into it. I don't think this one didn't either. No, wait a minute, now, I have one that took a deeper dive that give me a second. Yeah, here it is athletic did a deeper dive than the than the associated press.
00:33:54
Speaker 3: So I did.
00:33:54
Speaker 2: I did a copy of each's what it says.
00:33:59
Speaker 5: Nku checked into the facility on his own before lawsuit was filed against him that accuses him of biting two women at a group dinner on New Year's Eve. According to his attorney, he will remain there until he completes the program ahead of the RAMS organized.
00:34:12
Speaker 2: Team activities that started in a few weeks.
00:34:15
Speaker 5: The Catherine said in a statement, Puka takes responsibility for his well being and increasing his performance during the off season. Is committed to using his time constructively so that he can return in the best possible position, both personally and professionally, to continue to continue contributing to his team.
00:34:30
Speaker 2: And the game he loves.
00:34:31
Speaker 5: He will complete the program in plenty of time to be involved in all the RAMS otis. Puka is also deeply grateful for the supporters to receive from his family, friend's coach Sean McVay and his teammates. Story goes on to say who is decision to seek help comes after months of multiple off field controversies included in the ongoing lawsuit in December, just days before that's where the anti anti Semitic thing, and then he maybe did the he did this celebration, the anti Semitic celebration.
00:35:02
Speaker 2: I said, that's anti Semitic, and so.
00:35:03
Speaker 3: I didn't know that.
00:35:07
Speaker 5: But just two weeks after the live stream incident, nicou was involved in another situation. He was accused by a woman of becoming intoxicated on New Year's even, shouting bleep all the Jews, and then biting two different women. One of the women, Madison adi Abi, is Jewish and is now suing Nikouah in a California civil court. Here's what the lawsuit said, without provocation, consent or warning, defendant pro his dropped his head into the lap and crotch area of plaintiffs female companion and bit her companion's thumb with such force that her companion screamed in acute pain. Then, the lawsuit claims Nikoua turned his attention to adi Abi and allegedly bit her on the left shoulder with enough force to leave behind teeth marks. She alleges that the incident took place without her consent to without provocation. She filed a temporary restraining order against Nikoup in early March, but the court denied it. However, the lawsuit remains active. The Catherine has denied allegations that Nakuda made Nikula made anti Semitic remarks that night, but.
00:36:23
Speaker 2: He doesn't deny anywhere in this story. He didn't bite the women either, So now whether he did or not, too women say that he did.
00:36:31
Speaker 5: If that's the case, there's some that's that I would hope you go to riv that sounds like long term psychiatric here.
00:36:38
Speaker 2: Might be needed. And it's kind of frightening. And of course the team is behind one percent. We know why.
00:36:46
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, it's all proven guilty, right, we know, we know all that. You know, there's a lawsuit and it looks like it's.
00:36:51
Speaker 2: Going to play out.
00:36:52
Speaker 5: But of course the team, he's a pretty important player, best receiver in football, one of them top five top five.
00:36:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, you'd argue as the best receiver football. And so I can see why they.
00:37:07
Speaker 5: We can see why, uh, they would like to defend him. But we'll see how this thing plays out. But you know, I had the biting thing. I don't know, I'm with you. I had missed that part. I knew about the anti Semitic gesture thing. But I didn't know he was in rehabit bit a couple of women.
00:37:24
Speaker 2: It's just like and if he did, Alegic has I gotta say that, But like I say, nowhere there he goes.
00:37:30
Speaker 3: He does.
00:37:32
Speaker 5: The attorney admits to the anti Semitic trope and saying he did not he didn't know what it was. But he doesn't say but he denies completely that he bit the women, because that's there's no denial there. But that doesn't mean he won't deny it or hasn't denied somewhere else.
00:37:44
Speaker 2: And I just haven't spotted it.
00:37:45
Speaker 5: But it's the the issue some of these and you know, athletes aren't the only people that have bad craziness happened in their life.
00:37:57
Speaker 2: I guess we just find out about it because it's publicized.
00:37:59
Speaker 5: Like now Woods he's leaving the country for his rehab because he claims.
00:38:07
Speaker 2: That there's just too much publicity here, and you know, you know, I I guess that makes some sense though, if if you.
00:38:16
Speaker 5: Were to go into a rehab facility in the United States, I mean, I don't think the rehab facility is going to let TMZ come inside and take videos and interview with them.
00:38:26
Speaker 7: So I don't know why it, I guess, but probably, like the other people that are also intrigued, Tiger Woods is someone we're going to rub out.
00:38:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, you might not trust you. Yeah, that's true.
00:38:37
Speaker 5: You're right, they would the other people open, they would root out because I've got to think even even a crowd. Now, I don't know where, and I don't think in the story that it's say it didn't say where, right, just out of the country.
00:38:50
Speaker 2: I don't think it gave a country or a location.
00:38:55
Speaker 5: But he could probably be recognized elsewhere, though too a chance, because it's like I was talking with somebody the other day, there was a time Muhammad Ali was the most recognizable face in the world, right, I mean when he was in his prime fighting, everybody knew. I mean, he fought fights in Manila, he fought in Zaire. I mean, everybody knew who Muhammad Even if you weren't a boxing fan, well you knew who Muhammad Ali was and you could rec there was you know, when we with the preposteros statement about the most powerful black man Ali was, and he was certainly the most recognizable I would think, and I don't when you start talking about recognizable faces, you know, you have your you know, like Trump's face would be right vercognizable to most people all across the world, right, and so are other people that are you know, in uh, in politics. But I think Woods is pretty recognizable, right, I mean even you know, because of his success and what he meant to golf. There how many places he's gonna go or people are gonna go.
00:40:01
Speaker 2: I have no idea who that is.
00:40:02
Speaker 5: You know, they don't recognize him, right, Uh, you know, like a lot of hockey players wouldn't be recognized. We're in a helmet all the time. You're way for our nursing unless you're doing interviews and really are a hockey fan and see them. But if you also you just go to Alabama and you won't get recognized out there.
00:40:17
Speaker 2: If you are, if you are.
00:40:25
Speaker 5: Even a casual golf watcher for the past twenty five years, it's hard not to. I mean, you watch a broadcast with Tiger playing in a four hour telecast, he was gonna be on at three and a half.
00:40:34
Speaker 2: Hours of it, and they're showing close up of them all the time, so you know who that is.
00:40:38
Speaker 5: It's not hard to figure out we're like it miss, Like, for instance, even major League Baseball players. I don't pay as close attention to Major League Baseball as I once did. But like if you if you put up a picture of well, Rosa would know Bobby Witt, it's his favorite player. But if you just put up just a photo of Bobby Wit, I don't know if I'd be able to say, well, it's Bobby Wit.
00:40:57
Speaker 2: A lot of the Twins.
00:40:58
Speaker 7: Players I could sports wise right now would be Tiger Woods and Lebron James. I don't know if there's anyone else who would compete in terms of the whole world knowing who they are, right, Yeah, Like who else is on that level?
00:41:12
Speaker 5: I guess if you would, I guess we include soccer players because I don't know about in the United States, you know, but you know internationally internationally for sure, Yeah, I would say Lebron.
00:41:24
Speaker 7: But even even to your point, like, I'm sure there are some huge international soccer stars that would come to a treatment in the United States and they wouldn't get record.
00:41:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, right, So there's there's.
00:41:35
Speaker 7: Somewhere in the world Tiger Woods can go that they aren't big on golf there, Yeah, that he can get some treatment.
00:41:41
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:41:42
Speaker 2: So, but we wish them all the best in Nikola Woods, the cool needs.
00:41:46
Speaker 5: I mean, if if the allegations that those the allegations from the women are true, that's sick man.
00:41:54
Speaker 2: What are you doing?
00:41:55
Speaker 3: You know?
00:41:55
Speaker 2: And again, but it's allegations. I wasn't there, You weren't there.
00:41:58
Speaker 3: We don't know.
00:41:59
Speaker 2: Into the woods of is just you get hooked.
00:42:01
Speaker 5: On those that that pain medication, you know, you know, and I it's interesting, you know when I had some.
00:42:12
Speaker 2: I think it was dental work, hell was it?
00:42:16
Speaker 5: But they gave me.
00:42:20
Speaker 2: A prescription to some pain medication and you know it wasn't.
00:42:26
Speaker 3: It wasn't.
00:42:27
Speaker 2: What's the stuff that's nobody does now?
00:42:29
Speaker 3: What what what?
00:42:29
Speaker 5: What's the one which were the scourge of the world. What's the name of the drug? Why can't I think of it? Somebody helped me.
00:42:42
Speaker 2: The one that just takes a little tiny bit and it can kill you. It's a pain fentanyl.
00:42:46
Speaker 5: It wasn't fentanyl, but it was some And I remember the doctor or the dentist who ever, said, now, only if it gets real.
00:42:54
Speaker 2: Bad, use this because I think it can be addictive. I never took any of it.
00:43:00
Speaker 5: I mean I don't think if you took it one time for your pain, because it was tremendous, would would all of a sudden send you over the deep end, and all of a sudden you'd be trying to buy it out of the streets.
00:43:10
Speaker 2: But I just wasn't willing to take that chance.
00:43:12
Speaker 5: I can't think of anything worse than being dependent on some type of a pain killer where you know you're getting wherever.
00:43:18
Speaker 2: You can and you can't seem to cope. You just don't feel.
00:43:25
Speaker 3: Well.
00:43:25
Speaker 2: Even when I did that, I told you, They told me that.
00:43:30
Speaker 5: When when they asked me during the coldon Oscar, but do you want to be completely out or do you want to be you know, just you know.
00:43:36
Speaker 2: Feeling good. I said, well, let's do feeling good, right, But you didn't feel pretty good.
00:43:41
Speaker 5: It was kind of got out of there and you're kind of happy, and I had a little bit of a smile on my face. And that's what people get hooked on because they like that feeling. Hooked on a feeling, hooked on a feeling, you know what I'm saying.
00:43:52
Speaker 7: So, but we wish I'd be curious with Tiger to know how much of his pain derives from the car accident and all the surges he's had, and also the fact that he's still trying to keep the golf thing going. It's like, if if you still trying to play golf is causing you pain, then you just got yeah, stop playing golf.
00:44:11
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's that's exactly that's exactly right. And he wants to play.
00:44:18
Speaker 2: Uh, it's too bad in the car accidents and all the surgeries.
00:44:21
Speaker 5: Because you know, it's interesting when he played in that tg L, Yeah, did I read it right? Was that the highest ratings TGL has ever had?
00:44:31
Speaker 2: I'm sure it is. And he only took five swings, but people wanted to watch him. There's still that fascination.
00:44:37
Speaker 5: With uh with L Tiger L t Gray with Tiger Woods will break we can, Uh, We'll come back.
00:44:46
Speaker 2: Tennebe, you got a little five three four for us? Yeah, Kirko chains has a new home like that, like that
Speaker 1: Dad, common man, common man, no show pep, no solid plan sans a harn. We can't seit, approach or fail tune in. It's time for common man, common man, common man, charge the housewives like going?
00:00:20
Speaker 2: Can watch you shoot word replying?
00:00:23
Speaker 1: Non's nonsense on deck to day duty man.
00:00:27
Speaker 2: It's time for common man.
00:00:30
Speaker 3: Oh boy?
00:00:33
Speaker 4: Why should anybody aspire to be a common man? An average man? Do you realize what it means to be average? That means you're the best of the lousiest and the lousiest of the best. Now, if we demand more and more for producing less and less while they have not nations and courage and inspire and indeed require hard work and maximum effort, if we deify the common man while they encourage and reward the uncommon ones, well, the result of such a lopsided race as that is too obvious to require elaboration.
00:01:05
Speaker 3: I mean, it's like hello, I'm a fraud. When the Vikings and the Bears play, it's it's a street fight. If you're gonna get ready for a street fight, you better start getting right now. Huh.
00:01:38
Speaker 1: I didn't say that, common don't put words in my mouth.
00:01:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, Rosie, do you think that's the information I would like to know.
00:02:20

Speaker 2: Now, don't deal with speculation. It is wearing woman's underwear part of your tim Yeah, baby, it was a nice run. There's an old saying in Tennessee.
00:02:54
Speaker 3: I know it's you, sus.
00:02:54
Speaker 2: The problem in Tennessee that they threw me. One wants shame on me.
00:02:58
Speaker 3: Shame on me, po me what calame on you?
00:03:03
Speaker 2: I won't get fooled again. The pool pulled the pool again. That's exactly right.

Speaker 6: That's the who, isn't I'm just guess who. I don't want you to guess. I was wondering if you I'm asking if you know? I mean, guess who?
00:03:37
Speaker 2: Guess who?
00:03:39
Speaker 5: I know?
00:03:40
Speaker 2: Why would I guess? I'm asking you? Do you know who did the song? Was insane that you would guess. I was just saying, guess who?
00:03:48
Speaker 3: Okay, uh?
00:03:50
Speaker 2: Three eleven. They're light years ahead of the Beatles. Maybe they covered it, but no, it's a guess who. So so we're after a great start today.
00:03:58
Speaker 5: This is called the throat. I think people don't even need to know. This is a throw in the towel. Thursday is what it is a lot of topics to get to today. No, I didn't play even I didn't play it. Well, they won't let ye out out a day like today. They go, there's snow on the greens, and this is just so awful though, I mean that the timing couldn't have been worse for me. I took tomorrow off.
00:04:18
Speaker 2: I don't take many days off.
00:04:20
Speaker 5: I've been I've been semi retired for like since I was twenty two years old.
00:04:26
Speaker 3: Right, and.
00:04:30
Speaker 5: Baby brother Peter bbp's coming back from the this weekend for Easter flying in tonight. I pick them up at the old airport at eight thirty. Then BBP, a couple of buddies of his and myself. We were gonna go play golf all day long. Sticker in the stick, the tea in the ground. At seven thirty am, play eighteen, have a quick bite, t eat and play eighteen again.
00:04:53
Speaker 2: Zad Okay, the.
00:04:54
Speaker 5: Only day you can't play. Now here's the thing. So far, it hasn't snow. It's been rained. There was a little bit of snow overnight as long as and the snow turned into rained. Do you know what song that's from? Dan Fogeberg Old lang Zine. He took the idea actually from Harry Chapin, because you know, Harry Chapin has the song Taxi where he meets his old lover. You know, she was going to be an actress. I was gonna learn to fly. She took off to find the foot lights. I took off to find the sky. And she said how are you, Harry? And I said how are you, Sue? And then of course they weren't meant for each other anymore, That's why they but they went to She took off to find the foot lights, He took off to find the sky. Dan Fogelberg, the late Dan Foger wrote a song about called old Lang Same Old lang zine, and he meets his old lover in a grocery store. The snow was falling Christmas Eve.
00:05:44
Speaker 2: So is that kind of a song?
00:05:45
Speaker 3: Is you know?
00:05:45
Speaker 2: Unrequired?
00:05:46
Speaker 5: Or two lovers ships that had passed through the nights and they'd gone their separate ways. And he got the idea from Harry or did Harry Chapin get it from Dan Fogelberg. Look up same old lang zine and tell me what that was released? And then Harry Chapin Taxi. Somebody took the idea for just the concept of this of the song, right, you know, Hey, I'll have two I'll of a guy and a gal who were lovers at one time. They went their separate raise, they happened to bump into each other again, and they realize it's it was meant to be. It was meant to be that they broke up there, there was there was no reason for them to stay together. Here she's acting handsome inside her hand. Here she's acting happy inside her handsome home. Me, I'm flying at my taxi, taking tips and getting stoned.
00:06:36
Speaker 7: Same old lension as a song written recorded by Dan Fogelberg, released as a single in nineteen eighty.
00:06:41
Speaker 5: Nineteen eighty, Yeah, I think Chapin did Taxi in the seventies. So Fogelberg probably one of those writer's blocks, can't come up with anything, and he's going, you know that Harry Chapin song is genius where he meets his old you know, his old gal in the tax He's driving a taxi.
00:06:58
Speaker 2: She's married to a rich guy.
00:07:00
Speaker 5: I'll do something because even the line he goes, she married herself an architect who kept her warm and safe and dry.
00:07:08
Speaker 2: She'd like to say she loved the man, but she didn't like to lie, so she married him for the money. That's why she married him. And same with Harry Champins Gal.
00:07:17
Speaker 5: She was acting happy inside her handsome home and he's flying in his taxi, taking tips and getting stone.
00:07:22
Speaker 2: He goes flying so high when he's stone. See why do we start talking about this no idea? We were you talking about not being able to play golf, so speaking of yes, that's what it was. Thank you.
00:07:40
Speaker 5: So as long as it continues to rain, there will be no snow and we can play. It's going to be forty one tomorrow afternoon, Well it's it's gulfable. If you had the day off and your wife gave you permission and it was going to be forty one degrees, you'd play.
00:08:00
Speaker 7: When you I think i'd go to a party, barn. Oh really, I'd do a simulator golf. I don't know if they'd be too excited to go out and actually golf.
00:08:11
Speaker 5: So like yesterday, I couldn't convince you to go out when it was real feel of twenty five degrees, because that's what it was yesterday when I teaed off real feel twenty five degrees. This might come as a surprise, you obvious. The only one on the golf course, sprise. Nobody else was there. And when I got to the clubhouse, nobody else was there. I may have been the only person to golf. Well, no, it got warmer in the afternoon, I mean sort of wind was still blown. But I'm sure there were some people that played a little golf, so we no need has been the wheel of topic.
00:08:39
Speaker 7: I You know how in politics we have a lot of the fringe crazies on the outsides.
00:08:47
Speaker 2: Yeah we have. That's you on the golf course.
00:08:49
Speaker 5: Yeah I am a fringe graze. Yeah, there's no doubt I am. I'm hooked on ahee one is when I'm hooked on. I'm just hooked on playing golf.
00:08:56
Speaker 2: I just enjoy it now.
00:09:00
Speaker 5: Yesterday I said, I was telling Rosen, I'm going to watch the Twins. I like watching great pitching performances. Huh, the score was closer, or the score was the game was more of a blog? How am I trying to say it.
00:09:15
Speaker 3: It was through.
00:09:16
Speaker 2: The game was not as closed as the would end it.
00:09:18
Speaker 5: That's exactly right, because it was twelve to one a down point. It was just a beatdown and you know, I guess Joe Ryan probably didn't have his best stuff, but it was miserable conditions. I'm surprised they even played the game. It was raining at the beginning of the game. There was a time where it was coming down so hard. Joe was saying, I need a new baseball, Give me a new baseball. They were bringing out rosen bags by the half dozen. They the grounds crew was coming up and they were opening up sand. Though when they brought the sand bags, I thought the stadium was about to flood. I thought they were going to build a dyke, and instead they just had to spread sand all over. Think about this, I was locked How sad is this statement on me? I was locked in even when it was twelve to one. I wanted to see how bad I could get. I wanted to see it was it was. After all, they batted around where the guy that led off the inning and scored, he ended up coming up, so he's the tenth guy to the play. Then I told Deuce I said he made the final out, and they're probably going, what did you do that for? You know, how do you make the final out against this rag tag pitching club. I thought they were just going to keep batting forever, like how many? I wonder what the Major League Baseball record is for most at bats in an INNY You know how many times how many batters have come to the play, because last night it was ten.
00:10:35
Speaker 2: I know that's not a record because that's happened before. Teams have batted around.
00:10:41
Speaker 5: But I think this Twins outfit has a chance to break a lot of records, and not the historically good records, but the biblically bad records.
00:10:49
Speaker 2: They are not one in four. I think on the season might be one in five. I might have lost track of a game a loss there somewhere.
00:10:56
Speaker 5: It's a good thing they have those those a day off you know, those those day off game days off schedule between games. Otherwise they'd be one and six right now. They're lucky they're only one in four. Did you find a number for that?
00:11:12
Speaker 2: The the AI we want to go to AI over here?
00:11:18
Speaker 3: Yeah? Why not?
00:11:19
Speaker 2: It's not always accurates closer.
00:11:21
Speaker 7: The record for most played appearances by a team in a single MLB inning is twenty three, set by the Chicago White Stockings and the seventh inning against the Detroit Wolverines on September sixth.
00:11:30
Speaker 2: Eighteen eighty three. I remember that game, eighteen run inning. There's a picture of Rosen from that game. It's a famous photo. He was in the stands.
00:11:37
Speaker 7: Five players batted three times. More recently, the years in a Diamondbacks had eighteen players.
00:11:42
Speaker 2: I bet in one inning.
00:11:43
Speaker 5: Eighteen players in one inning. That's through the lineup twice if my math is correct. I'm actually surprised there's not more than that.
00:11:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I know what.
00:11:55
Speaker 5: You're saying, but I'm kind of surprised that much. I mean, how bad is your pitchings half have to be? Or is the other team that just hot hitting? That's eighteen guys.
00:12:04
Speaker 2: Here, it's a combination of us. You only need to get three outs for crying out loud?
00:12:08
Speaker 7: Are we sure there's Saints thing give up? They're in that twenty walk performance other night.
00:12:12
Speaker 2: That's that's a good that's a good question. We should probably look into that. But again, I know there are other people that Rosen said it.
00:12:19
Speaker 5: He was you know he was scoffing at the Twins and he was going, lie, maybe I should I shouldn't do this, you know, because he was I at feeling guilty for scoffing out there. I don't know why he said he shouldn't do it anymore. I've scoffed at him forever. But I truly believe in the historically good, biblically bad. I'll watch their next game now and see how bad I can go.
00:12:38
Speaker 3: They're one and four.
00:12:39
Speaker 2: How bad can he get to it them?
00:12:41
Speaker 3: Well?
00:12:43
Speaker 2: Is that? Is it wrong? My question for you, tenn Tobe.
00:12:46
Speaker 5: Is closer going to Chad Abbott and doing an inside joe for you?
00:12:49
Speaker 3: Is it wrong?
00:12:51
Speaker 2: Is it wrong to root against the hometown team. I don't think it is. I mean, because I.
00:12:57
Speaker 5: Would if let's say I started watching, you know, let's I watch. Let's say they won tonight, and then one again, then one again, one again. Let's say they went on a twenty out of twenty two. I'd be going, hey, nineteen ninety one all over again, and I would be pulling for them to win. At that point, I go whichever way the wind blows.
00:13:15
Speaker 2: If the Twins already started tanking, she said, why do you always end up at Nick's Cafe? And I said, well, the wind just kind of blew me that way. Man, Okay, we'll take a break. I think they are. I don't know if they're tanking intentionally, but it sure does have of the appearance of that. We'll break. We'll come back a little death at lat and a peek at the Purple Next Common Man program the Van.
00:13:47
Speaker 7: There's nothing like live hockey Experience Minnesota Wild Action at Grand Casino Arena all season long, including to Wild Versus Kracking on April seventh and Wild Versus Ducks on April fourteenth. Secure your seats now, Wild dot Com slash Tikison join the excitement.
00:14:10
Speaker 2: How are you at multitasking? Ten Tobee? Can you multitask?
00:14:12
Speaker 7: I'm not a great multitasker. I'm going to try to someone that if I'm doing something and then you ask me just something else, I have to finish what I'm doing first before I move on.
00:14:20
Speaker 2: I don't have that option.
00:14:22
Speaker 3: I have to I have to do.
00:14:28
Speaker 5: Though I can sleepwalk through it right, but I also have to write a spec spot for a client meeting that the salesperson is going to be at at two thirty and it's a two person I got to write it. It's a two person spec spot, and Blake Moore is going to produce it and be the guy, the second voice on the commercial. So I'm going to be writing as we're talking, So I might skip lunch during five three four writing a commercial while you are asking me really long winded questions.
00:14:59
Speaker 2: Burrero likewise, uestions is what I'll be looking for. I don't know if you can edit those a little bit and ask I don't have burly questions, but I'm sure I'll get to the end of it, and then you'll ask some hockey stuff, and then I'll just say I'll lean on you for the hockey stuff. Peek at the purples, brought to you by our friends lean on Me when you're nut strong. Do you know who did the song? Yes? I've actually.
00:15:22
Speaker 5: Yes has never done lean on Me. I know the entire Yes discography. They've never They've done Close to the Edge, They've down Roundabout, They've done.
00:15:34
Speaker 2: You and I, They've done.
00:15:40
Speaker 5: A Survival, they've done Starship Trooper. They've never done a song called lean.
00:15:44
Speaker 3: On Me, Thank You.
00:15:46
Speaker 7: I've literally listened to lean on Me about one hundred times in the last five days.
00:15:50
Speaker 2: And why would that be. We just got a piano in our house, okay, and can you sing us a song? You're the piano man sing us a song for free?
00:15:59
Speaker 7: Samson has been early into it, and so I just we've we've started doing just like basically YouTube lessons, okay, right, And I just went to like easiest songs to play piano for basically beginners and lean on me. Bill Withers came up. So he's been playing that NonStop over the last five days.
00:16:18
Speaker 5: Chopsticks not come up first, because I would think that'd be the most the simplest song to play.
00:16:23
Speaker 2: Why don't you get him to do a little Chaikowski? Just I mean really, I.
00:16:29
Speaker 5: Mean, if you're gonna start, It's sort of like when when when Deuce was I took them parallel parking and we went to behind Red Rock Elementary and I set up those sticks, you know, the rape City, and he wasn't able to do I said, let's just go up and do real parallel parking in a parking lot up in Woodbury. So we went to a place he's never done it before. I got on parking between real cars, just put it let's dive into this. Yeah, I did it to Pete when when Pete was first gonna learn how to drive. We're at the Holiday gas station in in Cottage Grove. So I go, here you go, here's the keys, torst the keys. We're at the gas pump. I go, we go, what I go, We're gonna go drive? He goes, aren't we gonna go to a parking lot?
00:17:07
Speaker 2: Practice? First practice practice?
00:17:11
Speaker 5: We're gonna go out on the streets the first time he was ever behind the wheel of the car. And I took them on on four ninety four right away. I'm on the freeway.
00:17:18
Speaker 2: Is that is that illegal?
00:17:21
Speaker 7: The only way you can learn is by doing that, That's what I'm saying. So they have it easy now because back when I had to parallel park, we didn't have those fancy cameras every time you went in, and the rule was if you hit the cones, you flunk, you flunk the test. So I think I went zero for eight on my parallel parking my test. I still passed the test, but that part because I just did I didn't want to hit the cones.
00:17:43
Speaker 5: Well, you know what, I think I could be wrong here, but I think now that the kids are so soft, right that you can just tell the instructor give me the zero on the parallel parking because I don't want to flunk, right, because if you hit the cone, it's over.
00:17:56
Speaker 2: It's over.
00:17:57
Speaker 5: So you just say, I'll take the zero points figuring if I you well enough on everything, you know everything else, you know, hands at ten and two, turn signal, check the mirror, do this, do that this dad laugh, Then you'll you'll you'll, you'll pass. So, uh well, I like that's exciting that he's playing. Because both baby brother Peter and Deuce they in high school. It was either you do band or you do choir, so they both did band. Douce stuck with it longer than baby brother Peter. Baby reduced did the cello, and he did it for a couple of years, and he he got fairly adept at it.
00:18:29
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not gonna call him. Uh was that guy's name yo?
00:18:34
Speaker 3: Yo? No?
00:18:36
Speaker 2: What's his name?
00:18:36
Speaker 3: Yo?
00:18:38
Speaker 2: There's the famous cello guy. I don't know there was a famous cello. Yes, yes, his name's like Yoyo would be a great rap name. By the way, it wouldn't be.
00:18:51
Speaker 5: Yo yo ma yeh see yo Yo Yoma, not Yo Yo Dad, but yo Yo my Yo Yo Dad's another guy that's a great name.
00:18:58
Speaker 2: Yo Yoma right there. He's brilliant. So Deuce wasn't Yo Yo Ma was. He was a yo Yo Pablo Casals.
00:19:06
Speaker 5: He wasn't Pablo Cassolts either, but he was okay At Pete did the trumpet and was just awful because he didn't want to do it. Sure, he had no interest in doing it at all. I took a secret video of him when he was getting dressed up for it. I still have it to this day. He can't be more than twelve years old, maybe younger, because this might have actually been in middle school when they started. Yeah, I was middle school when they started. And so he's he was blown into the trumpet, just making noise. And I said, it sounds like an elephant that's dying.
00:19:35
Speaker 3: That's how bad it was.
00:19:37
Speaker 2: And I had my phone on my knee and I.
00:19:39
Speaker 5: Was his video and when I still haven't to this day, and it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
00:19:44
Speaker 2: Is not wrong to video your boy when he doesn't know it, when he's playing the trumpet. No, I thought it was just brilliant. Those are the comman I have another one at Deuce. He's at the breakfast table before school and his chin's down on the table like this, and.
00:19:57
Speaker 5: He's his chin is actually resting on the table and he's shoveling cereal into his mouth because he's just so depressed that.
00:20:04
Speaker 2: He's got to go to school. I've got that on video too.
00:20:08
Speaker 3: It's just so good.
00:20:09
Speaker 2: Is there anything to talk about with the Purple?
00:20:11
Speaker 3: Pick?
00:20:11
Speaker 2: At the Purple I didn't really see anything. You know, it's again, did you look? I did. I looked at the athletic and it was yesterday's story. Where now to just google Minnesota Vikings?
00:20:22
Speaker 3: Yeah?
00:20:23
Speaker 2: Well, alec Lewis did a piece like what I learned at the meetings, just about the quarterback room. And then I think the one thing is do you think the wills Will were very noncommittal on general manager? Oh yeah, we'll see what what Rob wants to do.
00:20:38
Speaker 5: And but they're gonna they're not just gonna hand it to Rob Berzinski doesn't sound like and then they have to know. I don't think Brazinski has really said if he's interested in that job. And as you brought up yesterday, capologist guy, seems like there's there's job security there if you're good at you know, yeah, being a solid capologists, because you're not making decisions on person, You're just.
00:21:00
Speaker 2: Saying, here's the money. What do you need me to do? When loss doesn't affect your job?
00:21:05
Speaker 5: You just you need media to work on these contracts and get under the salary cap number. All right, give me a couple of my burn the midnight. All you're done, and you get in, you get out. You get to go to the owner suite and watch the game.
00:21:16
Speaker 2: But as general manager, if if if, if you, if you like trade down and draft Lewis Cne, you lose your job. It's it's over.
00:21:24
Speaker 5: So I you know, now my guest is general manager. Play pays more than capologist, I would think. But then again, is it all about the money?
00:21:33
Speaker 2: Right?
00:21:34
Speaker 5: So I think I think they'll give him a fair shake. I would, I would think. I mean, he's been with the organization for I want to twenty thirty years something like that, and I and you know, look what what what what they did say that I took from there? I guess this kind of goes for anybody who's gonna going to be you know, the the face of the organization.
00:21:59
Speaker 2: He's gonna be the head guy. You know, we're looking for a guy that's got really good leadership skills.
00:22:02
Speaker 5: Well, I would hope so as the president of football operations.
00:22:07
Speaker 2: They don't. I don't think they call him general manager anymore.
00:22:09
Speaker 5: They had that fancy name, but you know, president of football operations. I would hope you want a good leader. But then again, what is a You know, sometimes Timby, have you ever it's happened here we've worked under you were here. You were working when a Selmo was still running the Oh yeah, okay, so look and then who was after that was Crusher Crushing, Then it was uh Tyler, then it was Alexander and I it was my good friend Donnie Linquist. And they all have different leadership styles. Yeah, and I thought they were all fine. You know what I don't like is the guy.
00:23:01
Speaker 2: I don't know how to say it. Maybe I just keep my mouth shut. I was very intrigued where this is going I.
00:23:10
Speaker 5: Write this spot anyways, So let's take a by the way peek at the Purple brought to my Affordable Whatever your electrical needs are, they can do it at Affordable Electric.

00:24:23
Speaker 5: Texts on the brat Shawn Bryant Cafe and text line, it says common, we're three weeks out from the draft.
00:24:28
Speaker 2: When does Purple Prey return? Lean in radio it is indeed tennab When will it be purple pray? Purple Pray? Who does tend to think the Vikings will draft today?
00:24:44
Speaker 7: We always go two weeks out, So what would the date beat but the twelfth, the ten days from now? Yeah, yeah, I better get on my horse.
00:24:58
Speaker 2: You better get on your horse. I'm a little behind. Yeah, on my research. Your lego horse is behind.
00:25:03
Speaker 5: Hey, oh okay, hold on, I'm busy writing commercial copy.
00:25:11
Speaker 3: But I did have I saw this.
00:25:15
Speaker 2: Let me go to my notes. I usually took notes today. Twins simply awful. That's what I wrote. That was my trigger. That's good analysis.
00:25:25
Speaker 5: That's good analysis, Thank you very much. I Oh, the Abs lost to the Canucks last night. The Canucks are the worst team in hockey. Eight to six is the final score? Is Fred Hoiberg coaching that team? Did they forget to put the goalie in the game?
00:25:46
Speaker 2: I worked on that line all morning, Actually I did. It just came to my head right away when I thought about it this morning. They got destroyed Tennaby.
00:25:54
Speaker 5: You know here I am, yeah, you know, a concerned about the wild you know, seven seven and two since the Olympics, they're they their their productivity as plummeted as when you know, there at the top of the rankings for all the great offensive and the defensive statistics. And they've been, they've been, they've they've dropped like a rock or dropped like a pocket center at center rice for the opening face off. But I see, how do the lanch lose. How do you give up bait goals? Who was their goaltender? For crying out loud, did they just what did they have to go to emergency goaltender?
00:26:24
Speaker 1: Guy?
00:26:25
Speaker 2: That's a beatdown of epic abortions.
00:26:27
Speaker 7: Right, I'm trying to get into the box score to see who was playing goalie for him last night.
00:26:34
Speaker 2: Eighty six was the final score, and so you know about the bank.
00:26:39
Speaker 7: The Vancouver goalie had a sixty percent eighty percent save percentage, which is really bad and won the game. Yeah, uh goalie last night to it looks like they both played a little bit brisk govlo. I'm assuming Blackwood got the start, he gave up six goals and then Wedgewood came in gave up the last. All they must given up an empty NT or two.
00:26:57
Speaker 2: Oh, they're the goalie games, are black Wood Wedgwood?
00:27:01
Speaker 3: Yes?
00:27:03
Speaker 5: I wonder if they ever get confused which guy's going in, because if you don't hear him say Wedgwood wouldnt get in the game.
00:27:10
Speaker 2: I skates out to the ice.
00:27:12
Speaker 7: So one, I would say, the difference between like your best and worst teams in the National Hockey League is not a huge gap. The second thing I would say, is the Wild aren't the only team that is just trying to get to the postseason.
00:27:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess. I.
00:27:32
Speaker 7: I mean, as we've talked about the Wild and how disappointing they've been over the last couple of weeks or especially over the month of March, well Dallas has actually been worse over the last ten games than the Wild have been. Dallas is three five and two in their last ten and well, the Wild they're four to five and one in Colorado, They're they're winning the division, they're going to have the number one seed all wrapped up. So it's and also they are without Cale mccarr uh. He got hurt a couple of days ago. I'm not sure exactly on the severity of it. They just set upper body injury. I'm sure at this point you're just you're being cautious at all, especially with the Cale maccar so one. They're playing without one of their two best players, you know, arguably the best defenseman in the league. Sure that doesn't help, but also, are they really going to be sacrificing their bodies to block Vancouver Canucks shots or to go in and try to win one on one battles in the corners. I think a lot of these teams at this stage, when they know where they're going to be, they're trying to set up for the playoffs.
00:28:34
Speaker 2: Let me ask you another question.
00:28:36
Speaker 5: Yeah, hockey always does upper body and lower bodies. Yes, you, being the hockey guy here, the guy that I trust the most, I have you Russo and Nanny in that order.
00:28:46
Speaker 2: And Fallness is rising quickly, gorg is in there. You guys at the top.
00:28:49
Speaker 7: Five say, falness is rising quickly, Yeah, falnessous.
00:28:56
Speaker 2: This list is really thinned out over the years, hasn't it.
00:28:58
Speaker 3: Yes, it has.
00:29:00
Speaker 2: So if there was a we'd have to add a fifth face to the amount rushmore of a hockey analysis.
00:29:06
Speaker 7: By the way, Russo will join the TENI Fitzgerald tomorrow at they put him at two thirty, two thirty, and then Nicoletti, who's in Vegas for the Frozen four, he'll join it at twelve thirty tomorrow.
00:29:19
Speaker 2: I think about this so tomorrow.
00:29:22
Speaker 5: Partly cloudy sky seventy two degrees and then all of a sudden twelve noon hits and well it looks like some storm clouds might be rolling and boom. Then the tenifit Cherald will get hit. When do you think it'll it'll it'll start taking.
00:29:33
Speaker 7: On there's a windy weather advisory tomorrow storms are expected.
00:29:37
Speaker 2: When do you think it will start taking out of water? Twelve O three three? Once you hear the music, well I told you.
00:29:42
Speaker 5: I get a text from Deuce and Lorim sorring guys, and it always starts out with everything you've built.
00:29:50
Speaker 2: Oh, they think they're so funny, don't they?
00:29:52
Speaker 3: Oh?
00:29:52
Speaker 2: Aren't they just are funny? Why do they want a cheap shot? Everybody? You do a fine job. There's nothing wrong with your perform I'd never rip you.
00:30:02
Speaker 3: You know that.
00:30:03
Speaker 2: You're just saying that to get people to tune in because it's your ratings. Well, there's that.
00:30:06
Speaker 5: Then let me ask you a question, generally speaking, when they say upper body, how many different upper body parts can get hurt in hockey?
00:30:14
Speaker 2: What is it usually? Is it usually? Once they say it, do you kind of know it's like, well, okay, it's a rib or that's a forearm or I mean, I know it can be a lot of different things, but is it usually?
00:30:25
Speaker 3: What is?
00:30:26
Speaker 2: And then the same with lower body? Is it is it usually an ankle?
00:30:29
Speaker 3: Is it a knee.
00:30:29
Speaker 7: Do we know, do we have any lower body could be a lot of different things. Right, upper body is probably typically be concussion, shoulder or something like hand wrists related.
00:30:38
Speaker 2: Right, you might take some slashes on the.
00:30:40
Speaker 7: Okay, makes sense, or there's there's areas that are protectedly it's you know, it's it's typically not going to be your like obleaks. You know, it sounds like you hurt your abs or bleaks or chests, okay, sure, or peck muscles a whole lot playing hockey.
00:30:53
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, your lower body could be me lower.
00:30:57
Speaker 7: Body it's gonna be a lot of hips and groins, Okay, you know, I mean that's been a lot of issues with with caprice O because he's had a lot of hip hip type injuries. But they can also lower body. You're gonna have some knee stuff pop up. You're also going to get you know, how many times you block a shot off the ankle or you might you might break some bones in your foot and your break bone in your ankle.
00:31:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we again upper body with the with the kid. Did I take concussion for epper body?
00:31:28
Speaker 3: Yeah?
00:31:28
Speaker 7: Yeah, the kid for the lanch what'd you say? His name was Cal mccarr their best player, him and Nathan mckinnony. They're both arguably, I Nathan McKinnon's the top two forward in the National Hockey League. Cal mccarr is the best defenseman the National Hockey better than Quinnesota. He's better defensively, Yes, And so I mean.
00:31:50
Speaker 5: I don't like to see players miss time because of injury and why he's hurt because we get said, but that would make things depending about how long he's out. They they lose quite a bit there, but they nothing seems to me. They're not tipping their hand at all that if it's long term, short term they never do right, just upper body.
00:32:06
Speaker 7: So I got to tell you, Okay, my guess is this is not super long term, or we would have heard about it at this point this.
00:32:13
Speaker 2: Pooka Nakua story. Have you been following this thing? I just saw that he went to treatment, but I didn't really hadn't heard much about it until then.
00:32:21
Speaker 5: Dateline La rams all pro wide out. Pookah Nakua is in rehab and was there before he was sued for assault and battery by a woman who says he made an anti Semitic statement and bit her on the shoulder on New Year's Eve, according to his attorney, Levi mccatherine told the California Post, he was in rehab a substantial period of time before any of these allegations broke, and he's scheduled to be there a while longer. A. Catherine told the newspaper Nikoua's decision to enter rehab was not a direct response to the lawsuit his accuser filed against him late last month, but an attempt to quote improve his overall behavior every aspect of his life. Nikupa issued an apology last December after performing a gesture that plays upon anti semitic tropes oil appearing on an internet live stream. I remember that story, he said. I had no idea that it was an anti site semitic.
00:33:16
Speaker 3: Gesture.
00:33:17
Speaker 2: He said he didn't know Nikoua has been one of.
00:33:19
Speaker 7: Those gone during this story, because I did not even hear about the story the first part.
00:33:24
Speaker 2: Well, I I had.
00:33:29
Speaker 5: I hold on because I saved the story from two different outlets, and the one I just did did not do a very deep dive into it. I don't think this one didn't either. No, wait a minute, now, I have one that took a deeper dive that give me a second. Yeah, here it is athletic did a deeper dive than the than the associated press.
00:33:54
Speaker 3: So I did.
00:33:54
Speaker 2: I did a copy of each's what it says.
00:33:59
Speaker 5: Nku checked into the facility on his own before lawsuit was filed against him that accuses him of biting two women at a group dinner on New Year's Eve. According to his attorney, he will remain there until he completes the program ahead of the RAMS organized.
00:34:12
Speaker 2: Team activities that started in a few weeks.
00:34:15
Speaker 5: The Catherine said in a statement, Puka takes responsibility for his well being and increasing his performance during the off season. Is committed to using his time constructively so that he can return in the best possible position, both personally and professionally, to continue to continue contributing to his team.
00:34:30
Speaker 2: And the game he loves.
00:34:31
Speaker 5: He will complete the program in plenty of time to be involved in all the RAMS otis. Puka is also deeply grateful for the supporters to receive from his family, friend's coach Sean McVay and his teammates. Story goes on to say who is decision to seek help comes after months of multiple off field controversies included in the ongoing lawsuit in December, just days before that's where the anti anti Semitic thing, and then he maybe did the he did this celebration, the anti Semitic celebration.
00:35:02
Speaker 2: I said, that's anti Semitic, and so.
00:35:03
Speaker 3: I didn't know that.
00:35:07
Speaker 5: But just two weeks after the live stream incident, nicou was involved in another situation. He was accused by a woman of becoming intoxicated on New Year's even, shouting bleep all the Jews, and then biting two different women. One of the women, Madison adi Abi, is Jewish and is now suing Nikouah in a California civil court. Here's what the lawsuit said, without provocation, consent or warning, defendant pro his dropped his head into the lap and crotch area of plaintiffs female companion and bit her companion's thumb with such force that her companion screamed in acute pain. Then, the lawsuit claims Nikoua turned his attention to adi Abi and allegedly bit her on the left shoulder with enough force to leave behind teeth marks. She alleges that the incident took place without her consent to without provocation. She filed a temporary restraining order against Nikoup in early March, but the court denied it. However, the lawsuit remains active. The Catherine has denied allegations that Nakuda made Nikula made anti Semitic remarks that night, but.
00:36:23
Speaker 2: He doesn't deny anywhere in this story. He didn't bite the women either, So now whether he did or not, too women say that he did.
00:36:31
Speaker 5: If that's the case, there's some that's that I would hope you go to riv that sounds like long term psychiatric here.
00:36:38
Speaker 2: Might be needed. And it's kind of frightening. And of course the team is behind one percent. We know why.
00:36:46
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, it's all proven guilty, right, we know, we know all that. You know, there's a lawsuit and it looks like it's.
00:36:51
Speaker 2: Going to play out.
00:36:52
Speaker 5: But of course the team, he's a pretty important player, best receiver in football, one of them top five top five.
00:36:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, you'd argue as the best receiver football. And so I can see why they.
00:37:07
Speaker 5: We can see why, uh, they would like to defend him. But we'll see how this thing plays out. But you know, I had the biting thing. I don't know, I'm with you. I had missed that part. I knew about the anti Semitic gesture thing. But I didn't know he was in rehabit bit a couple of women.
00:37:24
Speaker 2: It's just like and if he did, Alegic has I gotta say that, But like I say, nowhere there he goes.
00:37:30
Speaker 3: He does.
00:37:32
Speaker 5: The attorney admits to the anti Semitic trope and saying he did not he didn't know what it was. But he doesn't say but he denies completely that he bit the women, because that's there's no denial there. But that doesn't mean he won't deny it or hasn't denied somewhere else.
00:37:44
Speaker 2: And I just haven't spotted it.
00:37:45
Speaker 5: But it's the the issue some of these and you know, athletes aren't the only people that have bad craziness happened in their life.
00:37:57
Speaker 2: I guess we just find out about it because it's publicized.
00:37:59
Speaker 5: Like now Woods he's leaving the country for his rehab because he claims.
00:38:07
Speaker 2: That there's just too much publicity here, and you know, you know, I I guess that makes some sense though, if if you.
00:38:16
Speaker 5: Were to go into a rehab facility in the United States, I mean, I don't think the rehab facility is going to let TMZ come inside and take videos and interview with them.
00:38:26
Speaker 7: So I don't know why it, I guess, but probably, like the other people that are also intrigued, Tiger Woods is someone we're going to rub out.
00:38:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, you might not trust you. Yeah, that's true.
00:38:37
Speaker 5: You're right, they would the other people open, they would root out because I've got to think even even a crowd. Now, I don't know where, and I don't think in the story that it's say it didn't say where, right, just out of the country.
00:38:50
Speaker 2: I don't think it gave a country or a location.
00:38:55
Speaker 5: But he could probably be recognized elsewhere, though too a chance, because it's like I was talking with somebody the other day, there was a time Muhammad Ali was the most recognizable face in the world, right, I mean when he was in his prime fighting, everybody knew. I mean, he fought fights in Manila, he fought in Zaire. I mean, everybody knew who Muhammad Even if you weren't a boxing fan, well you knew who Muhammad Ali was and you could rec there was you know, when we with the preposteros statement about the most powerful black man Ali was, and he was certainly the most recognizable I would think, and I don't when you start talking about recognizable faces, you know, you have your you know, like Trump's face would be right vercognizable to most people all across the world, right, and so are other people that are you know, in uh, in politics. But I think Woods is pretty recognizable, right, I mean even you know, because of his success and what he meant to golf. There how many places he's gonna go or people are gonna go.
00:40:01
Speaker 2: I have no idea who that is.
00:40:02
Speaker 5: You know, they don't recognize him, right, Uh, you know, like a lot of hockey players wouldn't be recognized. We're in a helmet all the time. You're way for our nursing unless you're doing interviews and really are a hockey fan and see them. But if you also you just go to Alabama and you won't get recognized out there.
00:40:17
Speaker 2: If you are, if you are.
00:40:25
Speaker 5: Even a casual golf watcher for the past twenty five years, it's hard not to. I mean, you watch a broadcast with Tiger playing in a four hour telecast, he was gonna be on at three and a half.
00:40:34
Speaker 2: Hours of it, and they're showing close up of them all the time, so you know who that is.
00:40:38
Speaker 5: It's not hard to figure out we're like it miss, Like, for instance, even major League Baseball players. I don't pay as close attention to Major League Baseball as I once did. But like if you if you put up a picture of well, Rosa would know Bobby Witt, it's his favorite player. But if you just put up just a photo of Bobby Wit, I don't know if I'd be able to say, well, it's Bobby Wit.
00:40:57
Speaker 2: A lot of the Twins.
00:40:58
Speaker 7: Players I could sports wise right now would be Tiger Woods and Lebron James. I don't know if there's anyone else who would compete in terms of the whole world knowing who they are, right, Yeah, Like who else is on that level?
00:41:12
Speaker 5: I guess if you would, I guess we include soccer players because I don't know about in the United States, you know, but you know internationally internationally for sure, Yeah, I would say Lebron.
00:41:24
Speaker 7: But even even to your point, like, I'm sure there are some huge international soccer stars that would come to a treatment in the United States and they wouldn't get record.
00:41:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, right, So there's there's.
00:41:35
Speaker 7: Somewhere in the world Tiger Woods can go that they aren't big on golf there, Yeah, that he can get some treatment.
00:41:41
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:41:42
Speaker 2: So, but we wish them all the best in Nikola Woods, the cool needs.
00:41:46
Speaker 5: I mean, if if the allegations that those the allegations from the women are true, that's sick man.
00:41:54
Speaker 2: What are you doing?
00:41:55
Speaker 3: You know?
00:41:55
Speaker 2: And again, but it's allegations. I wasn't there, You weren't there.
00:41:58
Speaker 3: We don't know.
00:41:59
Speaker 2: Into the woods of is just you get hooked.
00:42:01
Speaker 5: On those that that pain medication, you know, you know, and I it's interesting, you know when I had some.
00:42:12
Speaker 2: I think it was dental work, hell was it?
00:42:16
Speaker 5: But they gave me.
00:42:20
Speaker 2: A prescription to some pain medication and you know it wasn't.
00:42:26
Speaker 3: It wasn't.
00:42:27
Speaker 2: What's the stuff that's nobody does now?
00:42:29
Speaker 3: What what what?
00:42:29
Speaker 5: What's the one which were the scourge of the world. What's the name of the drug? Why can't I think of it? Somebody helped me.
00:42:42
Speaker 2: The one that just takes a little tiny bit and it can kill you. It's a pain fentanyl.
00:42:46
Speaker 5: It wasn't fentanyl, but it was some And I remember the doctor or the dentist who ever, said, now, only if it gets real.
00:42:54
Speaker 2: Bad, use this because I think it can be addictive. I never took any of it.
00:43:00
Speaker 5: I mean I don't think if you took it one time for your pain, because it was tremendous, would would all of a sudden send you over the deep end, and all of a sudden you'd be trying to buy it out of the streets.
00:43:10
Speaker 2: But I just wasn't willing to take that chance.
00:43:12
Speaker 5: I can't think of anything worse than being dependent on some type of a pain killer where you know you're getting wherever.
00:43:18
Speaker 2: You can and you can't seem to cope. You just don't feel.
00:43:25
Speaker 3: Well.
00:43:25
Speaker 2: Even when I did that, I told you, They told me that.
00:43:30
Speaker 5: When when they asked me during the coldon Oscar, but do you want to be completely out or do you want to be you know, just you know.
00:43:36
Speaker 2: Feeling good. I said, well, let's do feeling good, right, But you didn't feel pretty good.
00:43:41
Speaker 5: It was kind of got out of there and you're kind of happy, and I had a little bit of a smile on my face. And that's what people get hooked on because they like that feeling. Hooked on a feeling, hooked on a feeling, you know what I'm saying.
00:43:52
Speaker 7: So, but we wish I'd be curious with Tiger to know how much of his pain derives from the car accident and all the surges he's had, and also the fact that he's still trying to keep the golf thing going. It's like, if if you still trying to play golf is causing you pain, then you just got yeah, stop playing golf.
00:44:11
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's that's exactly that's exactly right. And he wants to play.
00:44:18
Speaker 2: Uh, it's too bad in the car accidents and all the surgeries.
00:44:21
Speaker 5: Because you know, it's interesting when he played in that tg L, Yeah, did I read it right? Was that the highest ratings TGL has ever had?
00:44:31
Speaker 2: I'm sure it is. And he only took five swings, but people wanted to watch him. There's still that fascination.
00:44:37
Speaker 5: With uh with L Tiger L t Gray with Tiger Woods will break we can, Uh, We'll come back.
00:44:46
Speaker 2: Tennebe, you got a little five three four for us? Yeah, Kirko chains has a new home like that, like that
