as good a bunker shot. as anybody in that situation. And it trickled four feet by, and I made the four-footer. I mean, I'm thinking, when I saw that going to the bunker, anything could happen at that point, right? It's like I could leave it in there. I could blade it out. There's so many different things. And to hit that shot at that moment and say bogey was big. Full disclosure, I told you I've been transitioning, but I played all yellow tees today because the ball's not going anywhere. I mean, you're playing a 400-yard golf hole. It may as well be 450 yards. They did it at the— I brought this up before at PGA Championship 2009 Hazeltine National Golf Course between the Friday evening after the second round and into the morning before the Saturday third round. About three inches of rain, winds blowing 30 miles an hour. Do you think that they kept the golf course really long for the best players in the world? No, they didn't. They moved them all up. They said, we can't play 485-yard par fours because really with the wind and as saturated as the course is, that 485 par four becomes a 585 par four. That's not going to work. So they changed all that. But then I made the mistake. I played two white tees. The first one was by accident on eight because I'm just used to it. And eight's not a very long hole. And I hit a fine draft. Oh, you were supposed to play yellow there. No big deal. I decided to play white on 12 just because 12 is a short par four. Didn't help me. As a matter of fact, I made a sloppy bogey on 307-yard hole. I just hit a bad. But where I hurt myself by playing white is I got to 16 in the par five. I said, I can play white here, and it's only 500 yards, a little under that. I hit a good drive. It goes nowhere, and I'm thinking, I'm going to have trouble getting it to 105. 50 yards and I pop up a five wood. It's in the, in the left rough. I get up there. Terrible lie. I take one practice win with the forward. I probably got one 70 to get to the, to the, which I have in a forward. That's about 180. I can hit it, but I'm into the wind. But I take a practice swing, and it's like swinging in a swimming pool, water everywhere. So I know I don't have that shot. I'm not going to throw away all that hard work for three hours. I'm four over at that point. I'm not going to try to hit the hero shot that I don't have. So I decide to hit an eight iron down into the throat, right? What do I do? I dead shank it right. It just goes off the haza and goes 45 degrees right over the cart path. I'm thinking, you're doing it again. You're throwing away another good round. But from that point, I hit a really nice shot just behind the green, had to hit another delicate pitch that hit the fringe, and then I just missed the bogey. I made double, but then I finished par-par. And the only reason I bring this up, Denny, is I know it's important to you. I know that you like to follow my golfing endeavors, and I know this is important to you because you like to pay

attention. Matter of fact, would it be fair to say— I would say the most important sporting events in your life are your kids when they play, right? Sure, of course, yeah. Then second would probably be the wild. Third would be your old man hockey. And then my golf. endeavors i might have you higher on the list well that's what i was gonna say i might even be above your i mean above my children well i didn't know i didn't unless i get carried away i thought maybe above your old man hockey just because let's face it your best hockey's behind yeah there's no doubt about that my best golf is still in front of me so i appreciate you caring and i appreciate you you know um putting up with that i was hoping i could get this to the you tried your best i tried to get it to the end of the segment but i couldn't do it but um it was just Now what? 00:10:32 Speaker 8: I'm sorry, could you start over? I didn't get to hear. About your golf game today? 00:10:37 Speaker 3: I hit it right up the gutter. Can I podcast it immediately? 00:10:39 Speaker 9: I know we like to wait until the show's over, but I think people that didn't listen, they need to know right away. 00:10:42 Speaker 8: I should SoundCloud this. This is good stuff. 00:10:47 Speaker 3: That's it. 00:10:48 Speaker 8: Sorry to interrupt. 00:10:48 Speaker 3: That's all right. I wonder how many complaints I've gotten so far. Let's see. 00:10:57 Speaker 4: Um. 00:10:59 Speaker 3: Oh, no, look at a common short time listener. Curious. What is your best round ever? And what is your favorite national? So there's some. Here's one. I called a month ago. We're going to get wheel of topic into December. God bless El Nino. See, there are people that actually appreciate this unprecedented response in nothing from the coroner's office, but sarcasm. That was sarcasm. 00:11:23 Speaker 8: I think that was sarcasm. 00:11:24 Speaker 3: Yeah, that was sarcasm on your point. 00:11:28 Speaker 9: He actually appreciates that you're talking golf because that means he won't come into the office as early. 00:11:32 Speaker 8: Yeah, I need this warm weather to continue. 00:11:35 Speaker 3: Keep it up. 00:11:35 Speaker 8: Hey, as long as I got you guys, can I tell you something? 00:11:37 Speaker 3: What's that? 00:11:38 Speaker 8: Do you guys mind if I interrupt your show? 00:11:39 Speaker 9: Sure. 00:11:40 Speaker 7: I know there's lots more to get into about your golf game, but you guys should know we set some records for ratings. 00:11:48 Speaker 8: Like, you know, we continually do. 00:11:49 Speaker 3: Is that going to lead to another renovation? Because we need to raise the door frames here going in and out of the studio because I keep banging my head I'm so tired. 00:11:59 Speaker 7: Well, and it's not just you. How about this? This is from the trades. This isn't me talking. This isn't me bragging about you guys. This is from the trades. 00:12:07 Speaker 3: What's the trades? 00:12:08 Speaker 7: Like the inside business, like the radio websites and magazines and things of that nature. 00:12:12 Speaker 8: Our October ratings.... 00:12:16 Speaker 7: We finished with the highest share in the history of any sports radio station ever. 00:12:20 Speaker 3: Be that little old 100,000 watt FM flame forward with the little, with an antenna. 00:12:28 Speaker 8: The worst all sports station in the country. 00:12:29 Speaker 3: Yeah, an antenna that's in a swamp in. 00:12:31 Speaker 8: Lakeville covered with red lights. We also, it's the highest share in this town since 1993. 00:12:36 Speaker 9: No. 00:12:41 Speaker 3: And I started, was that like when Carl and Dan were on the fan? No. Because that was 93 when Carl and Dan on the fan started. 00:12:49 Speaker 7: It was, but no, we took it from there. That's why we decided to change tracks. So anyway, congratulations to you both, and thank you to all of our listeners, because we are setting historic records that nobody has seen. 00:13:00 Speaker 3: And by the way, just so you know, I have a message to the Power Trip Morning Show. 00:13:04 Speaker 7: Objects in your. 00:13:05 Speaker 1: Mirror may be closer than they appear. 00:13:07 Speaker 3: Don't look now, Covenant's Gaming Ground. But I don't like to talk about myself. 00:13:12 Speaker 9: I'm assuming after this last segment, we've now surpassed the power trip in ratings. 00:13:16 Speaker 3: What are you laughing about back there? Well, I said power trip. Power trip is so funny. Oh, how about this? Have you ever considered wearing a GoPro so your audience can watch you play golf in real time? We might want to do that. I think that would attract a lot of viewers. 00:13:36 Speaker 9: The problem is the entire Twin Cities would be distracted. The amount of money we'd lose in this state based off of people watching you. 00:13:43 Speaker 3: This one says, riveting first segment. Can't believe you played in the rain. Where is the game played, Tenneby? 00:13:48 Speaker 4: Outdoors. 00:13:49 Speaker 3: You are correct. We'll take a break. We'll come back. Peek at the purple other side of the break. Tenneby's got a keyword, though. 00:13:54 Speaker 9: The fan and two men in a junk truck want to give you a shot to win bonus bucks with our national cash contest. Just enter the keyword cash at kfn.com now for a shot at winning. 00:14:02 Speaker 3: Keyword is cash.

He's known as cranky in his professional dealings, in his personal dealings. 00:14:26 Speaker 1: Weekdays at noon on The Fan. 00:14:29 Speaker 3: From the 1-800-ASK-GARY Traffic Center. This report is sponsored by Lowe's. Highway 52 northbound, a little crowded across the Lafayette Bridge, getting up to... Versus Predators game on November 17th. 00:14:41 Speaker 9: Just use the iHeartRadio app to send us a talkback and tell us who's on your Minnesota Wild Mount

Rushmore. Winners will be randomly selected all day. Get the full details at kfan.com. Keyword contest. 00:14:57 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I really wasn't listening. I was just waiting for my turn to talk. Minnesota Wild, Mount Rushmore? 00:15:03 Speaker 1: Yes. 00:15:04 Speaker 3: Well, Parisian suitor, of course. Heck, that was the beginning of skate shots. 00:15:12 Speaker 9: I think, actually, you could make an argument if you answered the question that all four of them could be on the current roster. Kirill Kaprizov, Quinn Hughes, Matt Boldy, Jesper Volstead. That might be your Mount Rushmore, Minnesota Wild, and they're all on the same roster. 00:15:28 Speaker 3: Who was the guy that lived in my cul-de-sac before I moved in there? First great Wild player, Gabrick. Yeah, he'd be up there. Who would you take off of the current four you had? Yes, but Volstead is so early on. So you'd put Gabby there? Sure. Kaprizov is clearly there, Gabrick's there. You know what I put up there? Mostly just because I like saying his name, Brizgalov. How do you say it? Brizgalov. I thought it was Brizgalov. That's not it? No. That's the way I always pronounce it. Could it be Brizgalov? Did anybody ever ask him? Everybody, do you know how to say it? Brizgalov? We don't know. 00:16:08 Speaker 8: Well, good. 00:16:09 Speaker 3: We'll see what the results are on who they think the Mount Rushmore is.

And remember, Affordable Electric is shockingly affordable. You sent me this screenshot of a tweet from Kevin Seifert. It's at Dan Graziano ESPN. It says, Minnesota has looked around at running backs, but it doesn't sound as if the Vikings are in a position to take on much salary. If they make an addition to help their run game, it might just as easily be an interior offensive lineman or a blocking tight end. In other words, they ain't got a lot of money. I thought we had a lot of money. I thought all these. 00:17:20 Speaker 9: Before the season, we had a lot of extra salary gaps. 00:17:22 Speaker 3: I know Harrison Smith took some of that. I thought all these capologists, though, don't they just... Don't you call one of your high-priced guys into the office and say, hey, we want to give you a signing bonus instead. So that you only have $ 1. 25 million against the cap for the season. Okay, that's all right. Maybe the Wills don't want to spend. And they go, well, that's all right by me. And then they, well, maybe they don't, but I'd find that hard to believe is, well, maybe, I guess we

always thought that's all the Wills did was spend money, but. With a team that's 6-1, and they've never, the closest they've been is to a couple of NFC championships. That last one, they weren't that far away from getting to the big game against Philly. Remember, that was the year the game was at U.S. Bank Stadium. Our slogan became, remember when PA comes up with Destination Dallas? Failure in Philly, or whatever they all are. And then we had bring it home. Well, then, of course, it was watch from home because we lost to Philly. All we really needed was a touchdown, two-point conversion, and an onside kick. A touchdown, a two-point conversion. 00:18:27 Speaker 1: And an on. 00:18:29 Speaker 3: Maybe we needed another one, too. I don't recall. But anyway, that's what I always thought they would do. Well, you know what? The interior offensive line probably makes the most sense because, again, I'm not an all-22 wide guy, and I don't have that kind of an eye for the— I've been watching the left tackle. For the last three weeks. And it looks like his footwork isn't quite right. But there are guys that study that. And the people I trust tell me the interior of the offensive line of the Vikings just isn't very good. Mark Craig wrote that Will Fry is just not earning his money. He's like one of the highest paid linemen in the National Football League. He's a guard, right? Isn't he our right guard? And he's one of the highest paid guards in the history. Well, not the history, but right now in the National Football League. And so if your interior, that's important. for the running game. And it's also important for protecting your quarterback too. So maybe that would be the better option because unless you can get JT and then even if you get JT, if these other guys are having trouble getting through the meager holes that are open by the line, I don't know if JT is going to be much better at it. I guess he's more, he's a better running back, but, or would you still get the running back? 00:19:41 Speaker 9: Other than JT, there's not really a lot of options out there or at least options that would be Upgrades over Aaron Jones or Jordan Mason? I like JT, but also if they're asking for Christian McCaffrey trade type money. We've given up enough draft picks over the last couple years. 00:19:59 Speaker 3: At some point, I know we want to go all in. 00:20:01 Speaker 9: There's going to be other years, hopefully in the future, where we have chances to go further. And I'm not convinced this team is big game contender as we currently sits. Unless you get a quarterback upgrade somewhere, what's the point of wasting all those? If you think about it, we should be at the point where we're trying to save as much capital as we can that when we find a quarterback, we can go get him. But it's kind of like the Quinn Hughes thing. The Quinn Hughes thing is great. Now, the while they're in a situation that if they want to go big game hunting, they don't have a lot of assets. And you never know when that big guy could arrive. If I'm the Vikings, I'm saving as much assets and capital as I can. You never know when a Lamar Jackson is all of a sudden available. But you don't have the assets to go get them now because you traded a second, a third, a fourth, and a fifth for Jonathan Taylor. I'd rather keep us in a position over the next year or two to... We're going to be back in the same boat, right? We're not going to have a quarterback going into next year. Well, here is the situation. We've talked about this over and over. 00:21:12 Speaker 3: And we won't have a high draft pick. Right. We've talked about this over and over and over again. If you have an elite defense, you can go a long way. You can win the big game. You do need some kind of... And so... Do we do the old, I guess, instead of like you say, go out and get JT and then try to make some other trade for a minor upgrade at quarterback, like let's get Jacoby Brissett. I don't know of Jacoby Brissett. Gardner Minshew? Yeah, is that really that... Is that better than what we have? Maybe slightly, but is that enough? I would rather ride this defense as long as we can. Keep our fingers crossed that Murray, over the next week or two, can get better. If he doesn't, I guess you go with Wentz and you try to say, hey, we're going to be like. 00:22:00 Speaker 3: The Ravens, when they won with Trent Dilfer, we're going to be like Tampa Bay when they won with Brad Johnson. And who's the Giants quarterback we always bring up? Hostiller. 00:22:08 Speaker 4: Yeah. 00:22:08 Speaker 3: Or maybe we're going to be the Giants and Jeff Hostiller. I think that's our only hope. I think you're right. Going out and getting JT, I just don't think getting him goes... makes us significantly better and gives us a better chance to make a run through the playoffs. The division is so tough. The Bears right now, and I know it's that overreaction stuff after one or two games, but the way they looked on Monday night against a pretty good Seattle team, the defending world champs, they look, they're just, they got a quarterback, they got a running game, they got wide receivers. They added one of the best defensive tackles in the league to a defense that was already pretty good. Green Bay is good. Detroit, I think that's still smoke and mirrors. I think they're so injury riddled. Anything on Campbell? Did you see anything today? I did not see anything. He had a statement. Oh, he did? Yeah. I missed that. If I can find it. So Jack had a statement. Oh, yeah. See if you can see it. Here's the statement. 00:23:07 Speaker 9: It's a long statement, but I'm just going to get to the part where he talks about. 00:23:17 Speaker 3: The injury itself. 00:23:20 Speaker 9: He says, uh, I'm, I'm incredibly encouraged by the progress I've made in such a short period of time. I have full movement in my lower body and I'm continuing to make progress with movement in my upper body. I know there's still work ahead, but

I remain very optimistic. I'm taking things one day at a time, staying positive and focusing on getting better. 00:23:36 Speaker 3: Okay. Well, good. That's good. He gave like a seven paragraph, but that's the potatoes. That's good news. 00:23:43 Speaker 8: Um, So we'll see. 00:23:46 Speaker 3: The trade deadline is next week, right? So we'll see if the Vikings make any movement. But it might be better if they just try to run this. Just ride this pony as far as they can. This defense and see what happens. One last text message as we go to break. This one says, tell Abbott to mind his own business. We're all here for Wheel of Topic. I appreciate your support of following my golf career. I mean, it's been a... I almost broke into tears today of joy. Yesterday I was crying on 13 Fairway at Presswick. Actually, I was tearing up. I was just so, why? I just kept saying, why? Why has this happened to me? Where did my game go? It just disappeared. And now I might be back. We'll take a break. We'll come back. I got several other topics to get to as well here on The Common Man. Oh, Rock Rank. Rock Talk at 115. There's no head coach today because it's a Monday nighter. KFC will be tomorrow. Right, KFC will be tomorrow. Rock Rank along with Rock Talk and then Rosen at 2 right here on The Fan. 00:25:08 Speaker 6: Well, it's pedestrian. There's zero flow. There's not anything that's even kind of exciting or interesting. 00:25:14 Speaker 1: Weekdays at noon on The Fan. 00:25:17 Speaker 9: Hey, we're going tape to tape each day following the purple with live shows from the power trip. Paul Allen, the common man, and Dan Barrero on our YouTube and social channels. Watch it all at kfn.com slash watch powered by quantum fiber from AT & T. 00:25:32 Speaker 3: What's going on? What's going on? Ain't we lucky we got Soylee myself. That's what you do and you become the most highly ranked radio station in the history of sports talk radio. That's what we did in the month of October. I can give you the reasons why. Number one would be me. And then number two would be me. And then after that is probably the other shows. No, in all seriousness, it's because we do it different here. Dark Star once said it best. It's not what we say. It's how we say it. And we don't follow that cookie-cutter sports talk format. Welcome back to... That's why we used to... We do that bit when we do 5, 3, 4, 10, we hit like 7th inning stretch. Time for the 7th inning stretch of strong baseball. Let's see what the Twins are going to do. Let's take a look at their bullpen. Then they'll start going over every player. You know, Joe Bagadone at 6'3, 215, right-hander, has five different pitches. I mean, there's like two guys that care about that. The rest of them would rather hear the nonstop nonsense. The tomfoolery and the skulldugger, they would rather hear me go over my round of golf shot by shot. 00:26:47 Speaker 8: You know what I miss? 00:26:48 Speaker 3: I already miss the political ads on TV. I do. Am I the only one that enjoys them? I think I hear most people complain about them. I love when they have the grainy video. The people that put them together, you know, whoever produces them, they do wonderful work. It seems like most of them are like grainy video of the candidate with a machete chopping up the constituents, you know, murdering them. It's like they're all serial killers, basically. They have that ominous music in the background. Yeah, exactly. Almost Twilight's only... Um, and if you notice nine out of 10 of them are, are attack ads. There's never one that says, Hey, I'm 10 to B and I've got some great ideas for the state of Minnesota. This is what I'd like to do for you. This could be the call of, and this is some scam that keeps health care out of California. They don't, I don't live in California. I don't want health care out of California. Do they think I'm going to fall for that? Um, I did write in meat sauce for Washington County Sheriff yesterday. I don't know if he got any other votes. I think that's probably the only one. And then I voted Monday Night Football guy Eric Anderson passed away last year, and I shared the comedy stage with him on countless occasions. I would say hundreds. Hundreds? Hundreds of times. Who do you think that is now? Chad Abbott. Yes. 00:28:24 Speaker 4: Yeah. 00:28:25 Speaker 3: The second one's always happening. Yeah, it's always happening. At least he's listening. Yeah, at least he's listening. What was I talking about? Oh, and so I wrote in a Monday Night Football guy for Washington County Water and Soil Conservation District Supervisor. It reminded me, I recanted this tale before, back when I lived in Cameron, Wyoming. Cameron, Wyoming is a small little town in the southwest corner of Wyoming. Um, Right off of highway, is it 189, I think, if I remember correctly, 30 and 189. And it's actually the tri-cities of Kemmer, Diamondville, and Frontier. And the landscape of Kemmer is sort of like an asteroid hit the area billions of years ago, cuz it's just a big hole in the middle of Wyoming. So it's like when you drive in, you drive downhill, it's like a big crater is down there, right? And that's where Kemmerer and Frontier are. Up on top, as you're driving down into Kemmerer, it's Diamondville. Matter of fact, E & L Motors, that's the first place I ever bought a brand new car. I bought a 1987 Olds Cutlass Calais, little two-door maroon with a six-speed or five-speed transmission, manual. I've asked you this before. Can you drive a manual transmission? 00:29:55 Speaker 9: I have a little experience doing it, but I would not feel comfortable doing it. 00:30:00 Speaker 3: I could get from A to B. Hockey could drive one, right? Oh, yeah. He grew up in Indiana. And he's older than me. No chance. 00:30:09 Speaker 10: Sauce? 00:30:09 Speaker 3: No chance. PA? No chance. Big ticket? No chance. Guardsy? No chance. Nordo might be able to. He grew up in Mankato. I'm going to skip Barberation

School. I loved it. Just loved it. Loved having it. that's, that's drive. You've never, you know, like, could Rosen do it? No, you don't, you know how, um, until you hunted man, you haven't hunted. Remember when Ventura said that? Yeah. Until you've driven a manual transmission, you've really never driven a car. Just getting behind and dropping into the drive and going, it's, it counts, I guess, but it's not the same. But, um, E & L Motors was the name of the dealership, and you know what their tagline was? For their location, they'd go, E & L Motors, top of the hill in Diamondville. Top of the hill in Diamondville. We voted, we wrote in one of our drinking buddies, Tommy Woolsey. It was actually Woolsey, W-O-O-L-S-E-Y. But we always called him Woolsey because he was generally Woolsey because he drank a lot. We wrote him in for cemetery district supervisor. 00:31:20 Speaker 1: He won. 00:31:21 Speaker 3: So he was forced to mow the lawn there once a week. God, he hated us. But he was woozy because when you live in a small town like that, there's nothing to do but work and drink. There were more bars per capita in Wyoming probably than in Diamondville, Cameron frontier than any other anywhere else on the planet. I mean, you add the Oasis. They have the triangle. And you know how you have a town square? In Wyoming, in Kemmerer, they had a town triangle. So you would take a right, like a 45-degree road to the right when you left the main drag. Then it would come, and then it would take a hard left. So it formed a triangle. And on there was the Oasis bar. That's the one I hung on a lot. Mike Gray and his wife owned that. Their old man, Bill Gray, was one of the sales guys at the radio station. When I got to town, so I got to town and Michael Doakes is going to fight Harry Coatsey in the heavyweight championship of the world. I've just been in a town like a couple of days and I'm going, I got to watch this on TV, but I don't have a TV hooked up in my apartment yet. Bill Gray goes, you can come over to my house. I'm not going to be there. I'll leave the door unlocked for you. You can go ahead and watch a game in my place or the fight in my place. Why get over to his house when his doors are locked? Can't get in. Guess what I did? Found a window that was open and I jimmied it open and climbed through his window. Do you think that was right or wrong? He said I could go to his house and watch the fights, but he forgot to keep the door unlocked. So I basically broke in and I watched the fight. Cozia versus dokes. Do you think that's wrong that I went in through the window? She came in through the bathroom window. Yeah, but he gave me permission. If I told you you could come over to my house to watch the wild because you didn't have the zone or the wolves because you didn't have the zone and I'd left it unlocked and you came in through a window, I'd say that's very enterprising. I'm proud of you. I'd be proud of you that you found a way to get in. If I came

in through the chimney. Santa does that. So there was the Oasis bar. That's the one I had. Then there was the Triangle bar. That was right on the corner. That's where they had dancers. They'd ship some gal in from Salt Lake City. She'd make the drive two and a half hours. Remember something by Tina Turner called Tiny Danza? Tony Danza? Tiny Dancer was a different dancer, and that was Elton John, I think. I think, oh, Tina Turner did a song called Private Dancer. Dancer for money. Yeah, baby. And Max knows all about it. He worked at the boot, right? There was also another bar on that stretch, and I don't remember. I never went to that one. That was more the old guys. when I say, Oh, cause I, back then I was very young. Still. I was only in my, you know, I was in my early twenties, mid twenties. That was where the, you know, the 60 and the old retirees hung out there. The guys that used to work at the, uh, Kemmerer coal company. 00:34:51 Speaker 4: Right. 00:34:52 Speaker 3: Cause the whole, the whole town was based on energy coal and, uh, and, uh, it for a while, it had the line. I don't know if it's still the case. It had the largest natural gas processing plant in the world. It was right there in good old Kemmerer, Wyoming. And, um, Then there was Rose's Bar in Diamondville. That was right next to the laundromat. So me and John Dallas, Evan's a disc jockey at the station. We'd go put the laundry in and then go drink for a while and then go put it in the dryer and then go drink some more and then go back and take it out of the dryer and then go back and drink some more and drink some more. But the places I hung out at were the Frontier Bar. Scotty, and I can't remember what his wife's name was, he was from Australia. How he ended up in Frontier, Wyoming, I don't know, but he had that accent. And it was the Frontier Bar. And then Jerry Kobach owned 189 Liquor. That was a liquor store, but they could sell off-sale there as well. They had on and off sale. On sale, isn't that where you, like a bar? Off sale is like a liquor store. But he was a liquor store and a bar, right? This is how it was back then in the 80s. You could actually, they had a drive-through window where you could get a mixed drink because they didn't care back then. Sure. So you would drive up and you'd get, you know, give me a 12-pack of Bud or Lone Brow. I used to drink Lone Brow, Lion's Brew. Mostly because I just liked saying Lone Brow. The beer really wasn't very good. But anyway, you'd go up there and you could get a drink to go, 12-pack of Bud and give me a Bloody Mary. Just drive off. That was all there was to do in that town. You'd play in the softball league. I don't believe they ever thought that that was a good thing to allow. Well, yeah, it was just an awful idea. Jerry was a rancher outside of town. He also owned a liquor store there. But that's all there was to do in that town. Just play softball in the summer. And then in the winter, it would be basically go to the bar and drink and shoot pool. 00:36:58 Speaker 9: Yeah. 00:37:00 Speaker 3: Spin fortune wheel and throw dice. That was basically, that was my existence in those small towns like that. But how I got there, I don't know. That's why Tom Petty sang that song about you. Yeah. He said, I was born in a small town. Of course, I was born in Detroit, Michigan, which is not a small town. A small town is Kemmer. Small town is Fergus Falls. Small town is Fergus Falls or Adam Thielen. Fergus Falls, yeah, exactly, where Thielen grew up. Those are small towns. Matter of fact, next time you're at a Tom Petty concert, no, he died, so you can't go to a Tom Petty concert. But if you go to a Tom Petty tribute band and they start singing small town and you're not from a small town, stop singing because you're not from a small town. You were born in a major metropolitan area. But you can't blame Petty because he couldn't write a song called, I was born in a major metropolitan area. 00:37:51 Speaker 9: Yeah. 00:37:53 Speaker 3: I'm going to die in a major metropolitan area. I was born in a suburb. Yeah, right. And just saying major metropolitan area really fast, it doesn't have the same ring to it. And you have a greater chance, I think, to die in a major metropolitan area than you do a small town, right? All things being equal... There's probably a better chance because of traffic, crime, that whole thing. There's more violence, yeah. You're more likely to get in car accidents. 00:38:19 Speaker 10: Yeah, right. 00:38:19 Speaker 3: Then it would be in, like, Kemmer, Wyoming. You're more likely to encounter a crazy person. Lucky. Yeah, so. 00:38:29 Speaker 4: Here. 00:38:36 Speaker 3: Guys, we can win with Wentz. We've scored more than 24 points per game when Wentz plays with RD. That's enough. You could make that case, I guess. Do we really average 24 points a game with Wentz? 00:38:46 Speaker 9: I mean, they have moved the ball. In the last two years, they've moved the ball at the best with Wentz. Now, he hasn't been good every game. I remember last year, he had a game or two where he was like, eh. He probably will give the ball away more than even Kyler Murray in terms of throwing interceptions. 00:39:02 Speaker 3: But the passing game. 00:39:06 Speaker 9: He can move the chains a little bit more on those intermediate, deeper routes than Kyler could. 00:39:17 Speaker 3: Would you go with Wentz if you were the head coach? Would you go with him Monday night against, or would you give Murray another game or two? 00:39:26 Speaker 9: I mean, do I have a lot of belief that Kyler Murray is going to turn. 00:39:30 Speaker 3: it around here? 00:39:31 Speaker 9: No. 00:39:31 Speaker 4: Right. 00:39:31 Speaker 9: When we were talking, we were talking about Kyler a couple of games ago and I made the comment before the Indianapolis game, I said, now the offense doesn't have any excuses anymore, right? You're playing a bad team. 00:39:41 Speaker 3: He got everyone. 00:39:43

Speaker 9: Everyone's back healthy. And then same thing against Detroit, right? a team that's not been good defensively all season long, and that was two basically eggs that Kyler Murray laid. There were no more excuses. 00:39:57 Speaker 3: You're playing. 00:39:59 Speaker 9: Now, I also don't like just we got a clean house when we're a 6-1 team. 00:40:07 Speaker 3: Right? It doesn't seem like it's panic mode time. 00:40:11 Speaker 9: So I'm kind of torn. That's why I think that's why KOC is going to do the soft benching. 00:40:19 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:40:19 Speaker 3: Right. 00:40:19 Speaker 9: It's a way to, let's get a look at Carson Wentz, see if the offense is any different, but then we word it as if there's an injury thing going on. So then if Carson isn't great, it's easy to go back to Kyler without, without the media going, well, the coach didn't have any confidence in you and now. 00:40:35 Speaker 3: You're coming back. 00:40:35 Speaker 8: Right. 00:40:36 Speaker 9: Right. So I think Carson will play. Cause I think we're going to see a soft benching scenario here. 00:40:42 Speaker 3: Do you believe that will happen? Do you think when starts on a Monday? 00:40:45 Speaker 9: Yeah. 00:40:45 Speaker 3: Yeah. I think so too. And I don't have a problem with it. 00:40:49 Speaker 9: He's going to have games where the offense looks better than when Kyler. 00:40:52 Speaker 4: Yeah. 00:40:52 Speaker 3: It was like we were saying a little earlier. I don't know if it was before the break or when we first came back from the break, but it's like, you know, it's like we're not, there's no night in white night and shining armor coming in to take over at quarterback. For the Vikings, that's not going to happen. We're not trading for Kirk Cousins. It's just not. Nobody's coming. We're not going to get Mac Jones. So we got to go with what we got. So maybe give Wentz a shot and just hope the defense keeps playing at the level they are. Because if you make postseason play, then you just need a handful of good games out of your defense. Again, a couple of timely scores, and you could win the whole thing. Or at least make a run. Because we talked about this yesterday. I'd hate to... This defense, we've talked about it, the numbers are as good as any defense in the last 25 years. It's a shame to have a defense that good and just not make the playoffs or get bounced early. You'd like to take advantage of it, but we'll wait and see. Meanwhile, your Wild Club won another road game. I just wanted to add on to that. We can get to the Wild in five questions anyways. 00:41:54 Speaker 9: To me, the biggest difference between Carson Wentz and Kyler Murray is I think Carson can actually go through his progressions and make proper decisions. The most disappointing thing to me with Kyler Murray has been his decision-making in the pocket and not being able to navigate the pocket. If you look like where Kyler should have a big advantage on Carson Wentz is he's mobile. When you've had some offensive line issues, which you've had, right? Fries hasn't been great. They don't have Donovan Jackson. But there's been times where Kyler can step up in the pocket or he can find the lane and run and he refuses to do so and takes a sack. I mean, that's what you're going to get. Carson's going to make some throws. Kyler probably won't make, but Carson's also going to get sacked four or five times a game and have drives get ruined because the offensive line is pretty mediocre, especially on the interior. And he's not going to be able to avoid that, evade that. To that, to me, especially against Detroit, Kyler had multiple times where he just has zero pocket presence at all. And I was hoping that would improve as we move along, but apparently maybe KOC's offense is too complicated. 00:43:05 Speaker 3: I don't know. Breaking news. Sam Darnold ruled out against Arizona because of a quad injury. Do you think it's a soft benching by Mike McDonald? Well, they got what, Drew Locke? Maybe it's a soft benching. Maybe they're done with old Sam Darnold had an arm, E-I-E-I-O. I'd still play him. I like Darnold. All right. Yeah, you're right. We can address the wild. 00:43:33 Speaker 9: Yeah, I only have three questions for five questions. We got to save that one. 00:43:36 Speaker 3: Because all they do is win another road victory, right, against Philadelphia. That's why I started, you know, when I do the old pretend to go through the issues or the topics we can discuss. Do we really need Dylan? All we do is win. We have one of the best records in hockey without him. We'll talk about that and other topics as well. Do you have another teaser? Is that the tease? 00:43:57 Speaker 9: No, I got another teaser. It would be something's got to give Monday night. 00:44:10 Speaker 1: The common man. 00:44:12 Speaker 3: Is really repetitive and super boring. 00:44:14 Speaker 1: Weekdays at noon on The Fan. 00:44:17 Speaker 3: From the 1-800-ASK-GARY-TRAFFIC-CENTER. 00:44:20 Speaker 1: This report is sponsored by Luther Brookdale Mazda. 00:44:23 Speaker 10: 94 westbound heavy Hiawatha to head up in Lindale.
