Speaker 1: In there, folks. Before we dive in, just a friendly
Speaker 1: reminder that Beer Belly Sports is a podcast, not a
Speaker 1: mensa meeting. They're not CNN, ESPN, not your mom's book club,
Speaker 1: and they're definitely not to be trusted with an intelligent thought.
Speaker 1: They're here for laughs, beer, and a good time, not
Speaker 1: pulid surprises or perfect stats. The opinions, hot takes, and
Speaker 1: wild predictions you're about to hear are strictly their own
Speaker 1: and possibly influenced by whatever was on tap earlier in
Speaker 1: the day. If you should take anything that they say
Speaker 1: too seriously, that's on you, Bubba. So crack a cold one,
Speaker 1: sit on back, and remember it's all good fun, just
Speaker 1: a bunch of Minnesotans talkin' sports, sippin' beer, sometimes making sense,
Speaker 1: and demonstrating the thoughts that kept them out of the
Speaker 1: really good schools. Everybody, please just take a breath and
Speaker 1: we'll begin.
Speaker 2: So today's show, we normally don't start out like this.
Speaker 2: It's a sad show for her because it's one of
Speaker 2: our friends that we lost and one of our colleagues
Speaker 2: that we lost. Here on the Beer Balley Sports Radio
Speaker 2: Network and also on Beer Really Sports, Jesse Pierce lost
Speaker 2: her life in the early mornings of Saturday this past Saturday.
Speaker 2: She leaves behind three kids, Hudson, Kidd, and Avery. Jesse's
Speaker 2: been in part of Beer Really Sports for a couple
Speaker 2: of years doing stuff for us for the Wild. She
Speaker 2: was on a show called JP Slapshots, which actually you
Speaker 2: still see from time to time on the Beer Really
Speaker 2: Sports Facebook page if you scroll down from some videos.
Speaker 2: So yeah, Jesse was also part of the Minnicipla Wild
Speaker 2: as a insider. And I met Jesse back in twenty twenty,
Speaker 2: just right before she started the started doing a lot
Speaker 2: of stuff for the while. She did do wild stuff,
Speaker 2: but she did lot of stuff like artsy stuff like
Speaker 2: decorating like the house, and so that was more of
Speaker 2: her critique and stuff. And she told me that she
Speaker 2: really wanted to get into some wild, some wild stuff,
Speaker 2: and she got an inside and she's feisty and she's
Speaker 2: ballsy and she is one of the best. And I'm,
Speaker 2: like I said, I'm happy to have Jesse. A known
Speaker 2: Jesse as a friend, known Jesse for quite a few years,
Speaker 2: and she was one at a billion great mom, a
Speaker 2: great writer for the Minsota Wild, and she was an
Speaker 2: awesome person. One of those people could drink, could drink
Speaker 2: beers with anybody, can also go outside when it's twenty
Speaker 2: degrees in the snow in a bikini and drink beerd
Speaker 2: and have a good time. That's the kind of person
Speaker 2: Jesse is. And she's awesome. I do and she didn't care.
Speaker 2: Grow up with the world of media. It's harder. It's
Speaker 2: hard for guys to get in media, but it's harder
Speaker 2: for women to be in media. And she's one of
Speaker 2: those girls that said, I don't want to do what
Speaker 2: I want and she did that and she proved it
Speaker 2: how good she is. Everybody loved her, from local even
Speaker 2: national news even picked up on our story. And she
Speaker 2: was one of those persons. And she'd actually tell you
Speaker 2: if she was still alive today, she would say, I
Speaker 2: don't want all this stuff. She's not one of those
Speaker 2: people who needed all that kind of like clout or
Speaker 2: anything like that. She would actually be kind of upset
Speaker 2: if she had attention that she got from all this.
Speaker 2: But yeah, Jesse is one of the billion and she's
Speaker 2: one of the greats. And like I said, fortune she
Speaker 2: lost her life in a fire this past Saturday in
Speaker 2: White Bear Lake, and yeah, so we're kind of dedicating
Speaker 2: to the show to Jesse. Jesse peers from Bartown Beauty's
Speaker 2: and for the minutes of a while.
Speaker 3: One quick thing too, my cousin Sean and his wife
Speaker 3: Mallory noticed some of our social media posts. M hm,
Speaker 3: and you know, I'm from White Bear Lake to be with,
Speaker 3: and they are still down there and it turns out
Speaker 3: they have been friends with that family for since they
Speaker 3: were in school together. So wow, So there's a personal
Speaker 3: connection there too, and I just wanted to shout out
Speaker 3: to them and hope everything's going good for them, because
Speaker 3: it's pretty tough. I've lost a lot of friends too,
Speaker 3: and there's nothing like that, you.
Speaker 2: Know, It's it was tough seeing that that that right
Speaker 2: away on Saturday morning. I remember texting you guys, I
Speaker 2: was like, Jesse died and just crazy like all the
Speaker 2: news and eventually flooded in and stuff and it was
Speaker 2: it was crazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's not there's not a whole lot more
Speaker 3: that can be said. I mean, everybody's kind of touched
Speaker 3: on it. And the impact that she's left is definitely
Speaker 3: you know, palpable.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, she was one of the greats. And we'll
Speaker 2: for sure for sure, miss her. Alrighty.
Speaker 3: But with that, with that, we're gonna move on and
Speaker 3: try to do a show and have a good time.
Speaker 2: We'll have a great show, because we always have a

Speaker 5: You guys have had some local legends on the show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, plenty of time. Yeah, but it's not you.
Speaker 5: Well, I'm a little hard to get a hold of
Speaker 5: sometimes and it's a little hard to make things work
Speaker 5: schedule wise sometimes with how busy I can be with
Speaker 5: broadcasting all those games and doing everything with kbun it
Speaker 5: it gets it gets a little challenging, but yeah, I was.
Speaker 5: I was really glad that that you asked me. It's
Speaker 5: I mean, I know the two of you. I haven't
Speaker 5: got a chance to meet or get to know the
Speaker 5: other guys. It's funny though tonight was the first time
Speaker 5: that I got to meet Dustin in person. He's been
Speaker 5: a frequent he's a frequent tweeter to High Noon. He
Speaker 5: will he will often contribute some thoughts there as he's listening,
Speaker 5: which I really appreciate.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember when you guys first started the show.
Speaker 3: There you you really encourage you know, if you're out
Speaker 3: there listening, Yeah, get a hold of us.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I love that. I love when when people show
Speaker 5: that they're listening and engage with what we've got going
Speaker 5: on with the show.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 5: It may not mean we always agree in terms of
Speaker 5: the thoughts, which is which is part of the fun
Speaker 5: of it as well. Is just the the dialogue or
Speaker 5: the chance to have some dialogue. But that's that's enjoyable.
Speaker 5: And then of course, Jeffery, you've been helping us out
Speaker 5: at k b U N for a while until your
Speaker 5: life got busier. But you. But you've been able to
Speaker 5: help us out with with calling games, which I've loved,
Speaker 5: and of course you've been a contributor on high.
Speaker 2: Noon with.
Speaker 5: Your golf and your zany uh zaney calls and and
Speaker 5: being part of a minority owner of the Minnesota Twins.
Speaker 2: Allegedly owner of the Minnesota Twins.
Speaker 5: Yeah, minority owner as in point zero zero zero one
Speaker 5: percent or something like that. But but yeah, calling games
Speaker 5: which I've loved that that you helped us out with that,
Speaker 5: So yeah, it's it's fun getting to to now join
Speaker 5: you guys and and contribute a little And yeah, would
Speaker 5: have would have loved to get to meet the other
Speaker 5: fellas too.
Speaker 2: Bruce is our comic relief for sure. He's one that
Speaker 2: kind of makes everything funny. And yeah, and Scott's like
Speaker 2: a second dad. He'll blind you with the the two
Speaker 2: degrees he has for business. And then he dad talks
Speaker 2: me even though he's the youngest out of all of us,
Speaker 2: which is fine. And then I got Dustin who probably
Speaker 2: did the same two.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I do a little bit, but me
Speaker 3: and Bruce have a different I'm a different person normally
Speaker 3: when Bruce is here too, because we've known each other
Speaker 3: for twenty something years now where we used to play
Speaker 3: himself all together.
Speaker 5: So I will say too, I had wanted to to
Speaker 5: make this comment anyway coming on the show in light
Speaker 5: of what happened this weekend, because I thought the timing
Speaker 5: was the timing was tough that this is my first
Speaker 5: show that I'm joining you guys just coming off of
Speaker 5: the tragic loss of not only Jesse Pierce, but but
Speaker 5: her three kids as well, and that was just so
Speaker 5: incredibly shocking and heartbreaking to hear about. I did not
Speaker 5: have the familiarity with Jesse that you guys did. I
Speaker 5: knew of her. I knew of the bar Down Udi's podcast.
Speaker 5: I knew that she had done some other stuff with
Speaker 5: Score North, which is another part of the Hubbard family,
Speaker 5: and we're part of the Hubbard family as well at
Speaker 5: Paul Bunny Broadcasting. So I knew of her, and yet
Speaker 5: I didn't get a chance to really consume a lot
Speaker 5: of her content. It's tough with running with running the
Speaker 5: radio station and keeping things rolling that way. Sometimes, catching
Speaker 5: especially listening to content outside of what we're doing and
Speaker 5: what we get from Kfan and such, is a little
Speaker 5: bit hard sometimes for me because I'm already so immersed
Speaker 5: in stuff that's on the air that sometimes making the
Speaker 5: time to listen to other stuff is a little challenging.
Speaker 5: But I was absolutely floored at how much she did,
Speaker 5: whether it was for NHL dot Com or just being
Speaker 5: around the wild and the different content she produced. It
Speaker 5: was remarkable to read about how much she was involved
Speaker 5: with and not only what she did, but how she
Speaker 5: did it. And that's what was so impressive was the
Speaker 5: demeanor that she had the willingness too, Like you guys
Speaker 5: talked about provide content for you guys. You know, she
Speaker 5: could have just blown off this this outlet from Northern
Speaker 5: Minnesota and gone, I just don't have time for you guys,
Speaker 5: or yeah whatever. But she she clearly made time for
Speaker 5: you guys, and that's that is very very special. And
Speaker 5: it's tough to see somebody like that go and and
Speaker 5: to just to lose a life, and not only her life,
Speaker 5: but her kids' lives in such tragic fashion. And you know,
Speaker 5: I've been praying for their family and for you guys too,
Speaker 5: and the people who knew her, and especially for her husband. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I just I just can't I can't imagine how how
Speaker 5: it's been for him losing her losing their kids in
Speaker 5: that fashion. I just but the outpouring of support has
Speaker 5: been remarkable to see though, across not only from the
Speaker 5: wild but across the NHL. Yeah, even across the sports world.
Speaker 2: I mean when I first saw, like I said, I
Speaker 2: was blown away, Like how how much response that she
Speaker 2: got from the world, because there was I was even
Speaker 2: went to national news, like many different levels on national news,
Speaker 2: and it was great to see reflecting on her life
Speaker 2: of amazing life that she had and again being a
Speaker 2: mom when her husband was busy, she took the kids too,
Speaker 2: a lot of these interviews, yeah, and doing that and
Speaker 2: doing hosting two shows. And that's that's kind of why
Speaker 2: we didn't do a show this past this past year,
Speaker 2: because uh, she got so busy and so many other things.
Speaker 2: And I don't blame her, so it's it's okay with
Speaker 2: I wasn't too worried about it. I was like, she's
Speaker 2: so much busier than.
Speaker 3: Yeah she was. I mean, kind of like I said
Speaker 3: in that one post I made, she was kind of
Speaker 3: a rising star, you know, just kind of taken off
Speaker 3: and moving on up, getting more and more respect.
Speaker 5: I was blown away too with the the respect that
Speaker 5: she had garnered from the organization, from the Wild themselves,
Speaker 5: and from some of the players too. Like reading about
Speaker 5: the bond that had been created between me Kyle Granlin
Speaker 5: when he was with the Wild, and her oldest son
Speaker 5: after he had been born. I saw this adorable picture
Speaker 5: of Grantlin just staring into his eyes and him as
Speaker 5: a baby. I think his name is Hudson, her oldest yeah,
Speaker 5: staring back and just what a delightful picture that was
Speaker 5: of just a bond and a connection that have been
Speaker 5: built there. So it's it's such a sad loss on
Speaker 5: on so so many levels, and and in such a
Speaker 5: tragic fashion to losing losing the four of them. So
Speaker 5: but but like I said it, you're not just for
Speaker 5: for all of them, but also for you guys too.
Speaker 5: You know I've been thinking of you guys here going
Speaker 5: back to this weekend too awesome.
Speaker 2: Appreciate it all right too, shows being brought to you
Speaker 2: by for forget oh oh he lost your notes.

Speaker 2: to join us for the draft party.

Speaker 2: San Diego Chargers jersey San Diego, San Diego Jersey. He
Speaker 2: was super pumped about it.
Speaker 5: Does he still call them the San Diego charge I
Speaker 5: think he does. Scott Williams does. Scott. He firmly believes
Speaker 5: that they belonged still in San Diego, and I couldn't
Speaker 5: agree more with him.
Speaker 1: I do too.
Speaker 3: I early on, when I started fantasy football, I always
Speaker 3: had Tomlinson. You had you had to pay extra to
Speaker 3: keep him every year. Oh so I kept him for
Speaker 3: like four or five years or whatever else as you
Speaker 3: shann had to. So then they were like my number
Speaker 3: two team I had my Chargers had It was a
Speaker 3: brief when he was on the Chargers. Didn't like him

Speaker 2: you got it because you do an outstanding work. The
Speaker 2: things you call, the things that you do for Bamidge

Speaker 2: trying to paint the picture and trying to see what's
Speaker 2: going on, and you do that very well. So I'm
Speaker 2: happy that you took that job. You do a damn
Speaker 2: good job at it.
Speaker 5: Jeffrey, I appreciate that a lot. I'm sorry that it
Speaker 5: was at the expense of you not getting the position,
Speaker 5: but no, I appreciate it a lot. It's so fun
Speaker 5: to get to do this for a living. That's what
Speaker 5: I'm thankful to be able to get to do this
Speaker 5: for a living. This was always something that going back
Speaker 5: to when I was in middle school, that I had
Speaker 5: wanted to do as a job was get to do
Speaker 5: sportscasting and to be able to call games and to
Speaker 5: make a living from it. And it seemed like there
Speaker 5: were so few jobs available for that that I wondered,
Speaker 5: how am I going to find an opportunity to get
Speaker 5: to do this? How am I going to be able
Speaker 5: to find something where I can truly make it stick
Speaker 5: and be able to make a living off of it,
Speaker 5: and it's an answer to prayer. I truly truly believe
Speaker 5: that and truly see that that. You know, it was
Speaker 5: always something I hoped I would get a chance to do,
Speaker 5: and now that I'm in it, I try to remind myself,
Speaker 5: especially as I'm doing well over one hundred games each year,
Speaker 5: I try to remind myself, this is what you've always wanted,
Speaker 5: and it's special to get to be in it and
Speaker 5: don't ever lose sight of it. And it's it's very
Speaker 5: easy to come back to that and to remember that
Speaker 5: because I had hoped and prayed for this for so long,
Speaker 5: and I'm I'm just thankful that not only that I
Speaker 5: found a job, but that God guided me to this
Speaker 5: job and this place, because this is a really special place,
Speaker 5: and getting to call high school sports for a living
Speaker 5: is special. High school was a really really special time
Speaker 5: in my life. Getting to compete and getting to do
Speaker 5: what these kids are doing and going through learning and
Speaker 5: growing and the lessons that come with it. And now
Speaker 5: I get to be around them as a I call
Speaker 5: myself a person of influence quote unquote, there are a
Speaker 5: lot of people of influence that are around these kids,
Speaker 5: and I'm I'm thankful that I get to be one
Speaker 5: of them. And then I've built relationships through it, and
Speaker 5: I have a real love and passion for the craft.
Speaker 5: You know, what you said was was pretty humbling about
Speaker 5: what you see in the work that I do, because
Speaker 5: I care a lot about how I do the work.
Speaker 5: It's not just calling games. I believe wholeheartedly in how
Speaker 5: I call the games and having a real attention to detail.
Speaker 2: With that, And anybody who's ever seen Joel Hoover's book
Speaker 2: for basketball is mind blowing because Joel will take because
Speaker 2: I wish I had the book here, but you'll have
Speaker 2: the rebounds, will have points for each person.
Speaker 5: I don't keep Oh okay, I wish to keep rebound.
Speaker 2: There's fouls, there's everything. He keeps I when I do
Speaker 2: it for you with like it's just points and follows,
Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, that's good enough. And then you
Speaker 2: keep track of like running scores and stuff. I remember
Speaker 2: seeing that I try. I'm like, that is outstanding. Nobody
Speaker 2: else we had Charlieyeger in here. He said the same thing,
Speaker 2: like keep it up with Hoover's book is amazing how
Speaker 2: he could do it. So people do not know for
Speaker 2: doing play by plays, like you literally calling and you
Speaker 2: are trying to write down each thing that you see
Speaker 2: and sometimes not looking and looking and hopefully you don't
Speaker 2: miss anything. There's been a few times, especially in the
Speaker 2: end of a close game. Not been a lot of
Speaker 2: them for me. In a close game, I'm trying to
Speaker 2: pay attention and trying to get You're trying to build
Speaker 2: that moment up. You're trying to build that anticipation like
Speaker 2: this is gonna be a great game.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: One mind that I had was against Morehead and Bimiji
Speaker 2: Boys and more I hit that three point in the
Speaker 2: corner literally on the right hand side of me if
Speaker 2: you know where the Pimitji field house is, right hand
Speaker 2: side of us in that corner he hit that green diit.
Speaker 5: I was like, yeah, yeah, that's a tough one. I
Speaker 5: know you've called games, Dustin. Have you ever called games?
Speaker 2: I have not.
Speaker 5: Have you ever wanted to?
Speaker 3: He's tried to get me in baseball before, but I'm
Speaker 3: it's just busy.
Speaker 2: Can't really you know, it's fun. Yeah, I used to.
Speaker 3: Kind of when I was younger, he used to think
Speaker 3: about it, but I, yeah, no, I don't think I
Speaker 3: can keep up with the action and a lot of
Speaker 3: the sports, baseball maybe.
Speaker 5: But that's what's nice about podcasting. You can just yeah,
Speaker 5: go at your own pace.
Speaker 2: Yep, do that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the thing, especially with radio. That's the challenge
Speaker 5: with radio. And that's what I love about being on
Speaker 5: the radio side of things. Like people have asked me
Speaker 5: if I would want to get into TV, and it
Speaker 5: was a thought back when I was in college about
Speaker 5: the possibility of it, and it still plays on my
Speaker 5: mind a little bit. But radio is a lot of
Speaker 5: fun because you're painting the picture, just like you talked about, Jeffrey.
Speaker 5: It's a lot of fun to have to work quickly
Speaker 5: like that and paint the picture and be descripted and
Speaker 5: provide the details. You're in control of that. With TV TV,
Speaker 5: the pictures tell the story themselves. Like I always roll
Speaker 5: my eyes a little bit if I hear this happens,
Speaker 5: especially with analysts, where they they tell you about every
Speaker 5: single camera shot that comes up, like, oh, there's so
Speaker 5: and so in the stands, Oh there's so, And I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 5: I see that, I see a graphic.
Speaker 2: That says that that's right, thank you, Captain x y Z.
Speaker 5: Celebrity who's right there, Like, yeah, I know who that is.
Speaker 3: We're the ones to talk over the moment.
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, no kiddinging the microphone doing it. Yeah, uh,
Speaker 5: it just let the moment breathe. Radio, though, you have
Speaker 5: to be on point. You have to be telling the
Speaker 5: story and being really descriptive about it while also trying
Speaker 5: to tell the story too. I mean, TV is so
Speaker 5: much about the narrative and the story. Radio you're describing
Speaker 5: what's going on, and you're telling the story too. It's
Speaker 5: it's fun to be able to to mix both of
Speaker 5: them in.
Speaker 2: So one of my things when I do radio is you.
Speaker 2: I mean you do a lot of background work like
Speaker 2: you do. I don't know, like a week's worth, within
Speaker 2: like a couple of days. I try that you do
Speaker 2: like for me, I don't have to do much of that.
Speaker 2: I just like the rule of thumb. And I told
Speaker 2: you two hours early. That's always been a rule of thumb.
Speaker 2: Chris Tubbs from down in the Cities at WCCO, He's
Speaker 2: told me he used to be in Sioux Falls. Uh,
Speaker 2: he used to He used to tell me be two
Speaker 2: hours early for every game, to get your stats, to
Speaker 2: get your story, to get your interviews done. And how
Speaker 2: I do my interviews, which is different from what you
Speaker 2: guys do. I just recorded off my phone with a
Speaker 2: mic and I email to whatever engineer is there, and
Speaker 2: it just sends it and I have to worry about
Speaker 2: the pregame stuff. I just said, maybe do the scene opener,
Speaker 2: and that's about it, and it works great.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it works great like that. Yeah, I my rule
Speaker 5: of thumb, I tend to be in the realm of
Speaker 5: about an hour and a half because I'm doing Usually
Speaker 5: I'm doing so many games that sometimes if I have
Speaker 5: a little bit of time, that's a luxury to me. Now,
Speaker 5: if I'm on the road, I'm at the mercy of
Speaker 5: traveling with the time, which I love. I love that.
Speaker 2: I'm going to ask you about that for like travel
Speaker 2: with the team, like, like, do you like traveling the
Speaker 2: team or do you like going separate? Because I know
Speaker 2: for the most time you like go with the team.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say for the most part, I absolutely
Speaker 5: love being with the team. Now, I say for the
Speaker 5: most part, because you do then have to commit to
Speaker 5: their timetable because for instance, with basketball and hockey during
Speaker 5: the winter, we're getting there early because JV is playing first.
Speaker 5: Now I don't mind that because it gives me time
Speaker 5: to do things like get my senior spotlight interview if
Speaker 5: I'm doing one that night, get my coaches interview, get
Speaker 5: my book ready and written out because I have my
Speaker 5: notes printed off and ready to go. But then, like,
Speaker 5: I can get my book ready for basketball, or I
Speaker 5: can get settled in in the press box for hockey
Speaker 5: or for either one, and it's nice to have that
Speaker 5: time to be able to do that and to get
Speaker 5: myself mentally prepared for the game. Now. I also, I
Speaker 5: really really like traveling with it, so it means then
Speaker 5: that maybe I'm leaving earlier than I would be otherwise. Afterward,
Speaker 5: I'm generally leaving on the timetable of the team, so
Speaker 5: there's not much of a difference there. It's the leaving
Speaker 5: early where sometimes I'm like, you know, a little bit
Speaker 5: more time and then leaving would be kind of nice.
Speaker 5: But I like being able to sit on the bus
Speaker 5: and I can sleep, I can talk to the coaches,
Speaker 5: I can talk to the kids if they want to
Speaker 5: chat with me. I can relax, I can get some
Speaker 5: work done, and I love having the ability to be
Speaker 5: able to do that right on the bus. And it's
Speaker 5: very nice, especially since we have these long trips. Saves
Speaker 5: me the gas, saves me the extra work of food
Speaker 5: sometimes too, I will absolutely take being on the bus.
Speaker 5: And again, it's the relationships. The relationships are such a
Speaker 5: huge part of it too.
Speaker 2: We never went with teams. We always had to drive ourselves.
Speaker 2: So you talk about doing your book, this is my
Speaker 2: show prep or my my opener that I had with
Speaker 2: you for Lewjacks. Yeah, so yeah, I would write all
Speaker 2: this stuff like literally within those two hours. Though.
Speaker 5: That's good, that's good. That's part of what I do
Speaker 5: sometimes too. I try to come with bullet points in
Speaker 5: my mind for my opens so that I can make
Speaker 5: them as natural as possible. But for really really big games,
Speaker 5: and I'm curious if people have heard this before or
Speaker 5: can tell that there's a difference, I'll give a little
Speaker 5: little insider info here. For select really really big games
Speaker 5: where I know that there's a a clear as day
Speaker 5: storyline that I've got in my mind. For this, I
Speaker 5: will sometimes write out my open and I got the
Speaker 5: idea listening to I'm wearing my Phillies hat tonight. I
Speaker 5: got the idea listening to Yeah, there you go listening
Speaker 5: to Scott Franski, who is the boy of the Philadelphia
Speaker 5: Phillies on the radio, and Franski is one of the
Speaker 5: best in the business. I think he is. He is
Speaker 5: an absolute gem when it comes to calling baseball on
Speaker 5: the radio, and he has had these dynamite opens the
Speaker 5: last few years when the Phillies have made it to
Speaker 5: the postseason. I've heard just these outstanding opens that he
Speaker 5: does to broadcasts. And I hadn't done this writing it
Speaker 5: out until I listened to him do some of those opens,
Speaker 5: and I went, I think these are prepared, and it
Speaker 5: seems like they're a bit prepared. Maybe they're not, maybe
Speaker 5: he's just that good off the cuff, but I'm like,
Speaker 5: these sound prepared, and yet it's a good thing that
Speaker 5: if they are, that they are because he came fully
Speaker 5: prepared to outline the magnitude of this game and why
Speaker 5: it matters. And there's a certain prose about this that
Speaker 5: is just so rich to listen to.
Speaker 3: Like the girls State tournament game this year, did you
Speaker 3: do that one?
Speaker 5: I partially did. Okay, that's a good one. That's a
Speaker 5: good question. I'm trying to remember the last time that
Speaker 5: I did write one out. I wrote it out for
Speaker 5: the Section Championship. For the State game, I came partially
Speaker 5: prepared with what it was, but that was actually more
Speaker 5: off the cuff with that one. Yeah, that was maybe
Speaker 5: a bit surprising yet, thank you. But yeah, for the
Speaker 5: Section Championship, that one was prepared, and that was one
Speaker 5: where I was like, I have got to nail this open.
Speaker 2: I know what I want to do with it.
Speaker 5: I've got to nail it with With the State one,
Speaker 5: it was prepared partially in my mind. I knew the
Speaker 5: bullet points I wanted to hit. Plus it was different
Speaker 5: because I had TJ with me down to State TJG.
Speaker 5: And because I had somebody else with me. I didn't
Speaker 5: want to fully take up the open. I wanted to
Speaker 5: have something prepared, but then create runway for TJ to
Speaker 5: step in and to talk as well, because we looked
Speaker 5: at that as this is the culmination of getting to State,
Speaker 5: is the culman of a journey that he and I
Speaker 5: have been part of alongside this team, watching the lowest
Speaker 5: of low's with a group that one season a few
Speaker 5: years ago want only one game and now they're here
Speaker 5: at State, and I want to make sure that I
Speaker 5: give room for him to share his perspectives on this too,
Speaker 5: in addition to what I have prepared.
Speaker 2: It's not it's it's nice having somebody with you. And
Speaker 2: I'm not used having somebody with me. So it's like
Speaker 2: I did many, many, many games with solo, but it's
Speaker 2: so nice having somebody with you to bounce stuff off
Speaker 2: of and you take a little break and kind of
Speaker 2: make make the event.
Speaker 5: I've done a lot of both, so I know how
Speaker 5: both go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh so, oh yeah, can we?
Speaker 3: So the the start of one O four five, like
Speaker 3: the when you guys shifted over to sports and local sports,
Speaker 3: and then you came along and now suddenly there was
Speaker 3: a local sports show. How did that come about?
Speaker 5: Also, guys would ask me, yeah, really interested? Yeah, great question.
Speaker 5: So I got here in July of twenty fifteen was
Speaker 5: when I moved here. I accepted the job in June. Thankfully,
Speaker 5: they gave me some time to get everything organized in
Speaker 5: PA because I had just graduated from college in May
Speaker 5: of twenty fifteen. Graduated from it was then Messiah College,
Speaker 5: now it's Messiah University. I had gone back home and
Speaker 5: had some irons in the fire, hoping for something. This job,
Speaker 5: this was the only place where I had any dialogue
Speaker 5: going on. I'd get an email every couple of days
Speaker 5: from Todd Hougan going can you send me this? Can
Speaker 5: you send me that? First it was Joel, your stuff
Speaker 5: looks good. Have you ever done hockey? I was like, no,
Speaker 5: but I can send you something. So I pulled up
Speaker 5: a Flyers Penguins game on YouTube, recorded myself doing ten
Speaker 5: minutes of play by play on that radio play by play,
Speaker 5: and sent that off. And then they're like, have you
Speaker 5: done any music work? And I was like, I don't
Speaker 5: have a demo for it, though, hustled back up to Messiah,
Speaker 5: got in touch with a friend who was running the
Speaker 5: radio station for the summer, and recorded myself doing an
Speaker 5: hour's worth of you know, voice tracking type of work,
Speaker 5: and sent that off. Waited about a week. Then they're like, hey,
Speaker 5: we'd like to have you in for an interview. I
Speaker 5: was like, Mom, Dad, I need to fly out to Bunji, Minnesota.
Speaker 5: Then they got back to me and they were like, Joel,
Speaker 5: let's just do a skype interview. I was like, perfect,
Speaker 5: that'll save me some money. So yeah, and then then
Speaker 5: heard from them in June and I got a call
Speaker 5: on a Friday two one eight number. I was like,
Speaker 5: oh boy, And then I picked up and it was
Speaker 5: Todd and he was like, Joel, we're still working out
Speaker 5: the numbers, but we'd like to offer you this job
Speaker 5: at Paul Bunny Broadcasting. And I was like wow. He's like,
Speaker 5: we're gonna get the numbers worked out and we're probably
Speaker 5: gonna offer you the job on Monday. Rare position for
Speaker 5: a person to be in, where you can sit on
Speaker 5: that for a weekend, sit on the fact that your
Speaker 5: life is about to change forever. Where I'm I'm going, Oh,
Speaker 5: I know what my answer.
Speaker 3: Is going to be.
Speaker 5: It's absolutely gonna be yes. But then I have a
Speaker 5: whole weekend to sit on my brain. And that made
Speaker 5: it hard because now I'm having to think about.
Speaker 3: This, well, yeah, you're so young, and then yeah, you
Speaker 3: know I'm going halfway across the country, Yeah, exactly, to a.
Speaker 5: State I had never been to. I had never been
Speaker 5: to Minnesota before. I only knew of Bmigi because I
Speaker 5: remembered seeing Bamigi State in the Frozen four and that
Speaker 5: they had made that run back in nine. But I
Speaker 5: knew I was going to accept the job. I absolutely
Speaker 5: knew it. I told my mom and dad that and
Speaker 5: they're like, yup, it's time. This is this is what,
Speaker 5: this is God's plan making this possible here. So got
Speaker 5: a month to be able to pack up and get
Speaker 5: ready for the move, and off I went. I knew
Speaker 5: one person here in Bimigie. Somehow knew somebody here who
Speaker 5: was going to school here at the time, and happened
Speaker 5: to have a connection there. Knowing just one person, but
Speaker 5: otherwise I was flying blind. keV Jackson went and did
Speaker 5: the apartment walk through for me.
Speaker 2: Ah, and he took care of that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he deserves a bell for that. So keV did
Speaker 5: the apartment walk through for me. I had never met
Speaker 5: him in person, only a talk to him via skype.
Speaker 1: That was it.
Speaker 2: Him and Todd.
Speaker 5: They were the only two people I had visually seen
Speaker 5: from the station.
Speaker 2: Did keV still have hair at that time?
Speaker 5: I don't mean to throw him under the bus here,
Speaker 5: but a little bit, a little bit sorry keV. Anyway,
Speaker 5: he has gracefully moved into his current stage of it
Speaker 5: follicle awareness so.
Speaker 2: No awareness as a show title.
Speaker 5: So I yeah, so I get out here, getting back
Speaker 5: to your question, Dustin, and keV gave me the outline
Speaker 5: of the plan of what they were looking at doing
Speaker 5: with one oh four five. He said, we're getting ready
Speaker 5: to turn this oldie station into a sports station. And
Speaker 5: he's like, we're gonna have some people who won't be
Speaker 5: happy about that, and we fielded some calls. There were
Speaker 5: there were some some folks of a certain generation who
Speaker 5: were not particularly pleased that this old East station was
Speaker 5: not off the air, But there were a lot of
Speaker 5: people who were really excited that the the kfan content
Speaker 5: that we had on Yeah, that was going to FM
Speaker 5: off of KBUN FM to the off of Kbuna M
Speaker 5: to the FM. A lot of people were excited about that,
Speaker 5: and I didn't realize it fully at the time just
Speaker 5: how significant that was. Now later on down the road,
Speaker 5: I'm like, that was just a master stroke that they
Speaker 5: did that. And then keV, we hadn't really even talked
Speaker 5: about this all that much when I was going through
Speaker 5: the interview process. The biggest thing I asked them was
Speaker 5: can I add soccer to your portfolio? And they were like,
Speaker 5: we would love if you would do that. So I
Speaker 5: mean that, yeah, because you talked to me about soccer.
Speaker 5: Geffrey and I absolutely wanted to add that on and
Speaker 5: they were totally in favor of that, and I was like, well,
Speaker 5: now it's the easy part.
Speaker 3: Me doing it.
Speaker 5: I know how to do it. But then yeah, so
Speaker 5: that launched in September. It was early September that kbun
Speaker 5: FM launched where we flipped the switch on that going
Speaker 5: from the oldies to a sports station, and then High
Speaker 5: Noon was what he pitched me on. Next, He's like, who,
Speaker 5: we like to get this daily sports talk show going
Speaker 5: and I went, you want it to be daily? And
Speaker 5: he says, we want it to be two hours. I
Speaker 5: was like, you want it to be two hours of content.
Speaker 5: I was like, I hope I've got help on this,
Speaker 5: and he's like, yes, I will help you out with it.
Speaker 2: I remember when he first when he first started with it.
Speaker 2: Oh man, you ain keV for the longest time.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was the two of us to start. We
Speaker 5: would have Scott was a contributor at the start. He
Speaker 5: would provide a segment's worth of content. He was busier
Speaker 5: at the time with well he's still busy now, but
Speaker 5: it was a different busy with the Beavers and with
Speaker 5: his his hockey work. There and doing football, and he
Speaker 5: would still provide some content for us every now and then.
Speaker 5: But Kev's like, yeah, let's make it a local sports
Speaker 5: talk show where we will focus on local We'll give
Speaker 5: local perspectives on what's going on with the state teams.
Speaker 5: And so it was early November of twenty fifteen when
Speaker 5: high Noon launched. That was the kind of the timeline
Speaker 5: the progression me getting here, the sports station launching just
Speaker 5: over a month after I got here, and then two
Speaker 5: months after that, high Noon followed of we're going to
Speaker 5: get local content on there, and all of this coming
Speaker 5: with me just getting settled in here. I mean I
Speaker 5: had just gotten here and there was a lot getting
Speaker 5: thrown at me. I'm having to learn about these teams.
Speaker 5: I'm having to learn about Bamidgie High School. I'm having
Speaker 5: to learn what things look like generally here. And now
Speaker 5: we're stacking and adding on to it, and it's with
Speaker 5: me being this new guy doing it, and I just
Speaker 5: kind of rolled with it. I was like, this is okay,
Speaker 5: this is what we're doing, and that's just how I
Speaker 5: tried to approach it was, this is how it's gonna be.
Speaker 5: Let's make something great out of it.
Speaker 2: And you owned up. You owned all this for yourself,
Speaker 2: which is great. I mean you you expanded the brand,
Speaker 2: You expanded Lumberjack's radio network, you expanded High Noon. We
Speaker 2: have local talent. You have the kids who come in
Speaker 2: if you have like me who come in just to
Speaker 2: joke around and make fun of me, which is fine.
Speaker 2: You have TJ who comes in, you have a lot
Speaker 2: of other people who are there to help grow the brand.
Speaker 2: And it's to me, it's one of the funniest things
Speaker 2: and one of the greatest thing at the same time, like,
Speaker 2: I'm so prodigy? Did this even get me on with
Speaker 2: you one? Because it's like something very familiar that I
Speaker 2: know how to do, and watching you how to do
Speaker 2: stuff is like I know what he's doing.
Speaker 5: Well, I'll give people a little background on my history
Speaker 5: with Jeffrey, because Geffrey at first was at least to
Speaker 5: me And you'll probably love this, Dustin, And I know Geffery,
Speaker 5: you'll get a kick out of this. You were this
Speaker 5: goofy dude who seemed to be pounding down the door
Speaker 5: line can I do anything for you?
Speaker 2: Guys?
Speaker 5: It was so funny and yet you were so persistent
Speaker 5: about it, and I was At first, I was like, Okay,
Speaker 5: what are we dealing with here? Is this guy like
Speaker 5: some rando or what exactly is is his angle here?
Speaker 5: You just wanted to do something, and it was as
Speaker 5: I got to know you more, I was like, oh man,
Speaker 5: it was in the It was not like some crazy
Speaker 5: or like something. This guy shouldn't be on.
Speaker 2: The I've emailed you and keV so many times of
Speaker 2: just like just give me a shot.
Speaker 5: And then yeah, keV, Kevin had conversations with you, and
Speaker 5: then I started having conversations with you, and it was like, Okay,
Speaker 5: this guy, this guy is a little crazy, little goofy,
Speaker 5: but he means really well. He means really well.
Speaker 3: I remember, I don't know, maybe it was that freedo
Speaker 3: at the time still or maybe I was that coke.
Speaker 3: But I texted you and I said, do they have
Speaker 3: to tie you down when you're in there? Because you
Speaker 3: do like a tornado?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 5: Yeah, practically had to. It was so much like Jeffrey,
Speaker 5: it's time to get off the air. We got to
Speaker 5: go to a commercial here.
Speaker 2: So well that's what it was. It was fun doing
Speaker 2: all that where I can literally just I could talk
Speaker 2: about sports and just like we talk about the Twins.
Speaker 2: We'll talk twins here a little bit about just it's
Speaker 2: the official and official owner of the Minnesota Twins. And
Speaker 2: we have so much time and so much fun and
Speaker 2: just like just go at it and just like and
Speaker 2: my whole goal was to get you going, which is
Speaker 2: very hard to do because I try to say the
Speaker 2: randomest thing to see if I can accomplisence getting you going.
Speaker 2: Scott's easy to do, that's not hard to do, keV.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I like to mess with keV. I mean, who doesn't.
Speaker 5: Well, I know that getting exasperated makes for good radio, yeah,
Speaker 5: in its own way, and so I do like to
Speaker 5: lean into that for fun. And sometimes it truly is
Speaker 5: me going. This is my internal mind, like my thought
Speaker 5: processing being let loose, but to a point. You know,
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna let it truly get personal or like
Speaker 5: get to be too much.
Speaker 3: Sometimes with you and Scott oh Man, well, some days
Speaker 3: you poked a bear and I enjoy it.
Speaker 5: We know how to push each other's buttons. I mean,
Speaker 5: Scott will endlessly try to do that with the Double
Speaker 5: Happiness in particular.
Speaker 2: Or with I love I love the golf stuff. When
Speaker 2: he's like, oh, I want to do this and he's
Speaker 2: like he always has some type of rule that you
Speaker 2: made up. It's hilarious.
Speaker 5: I'm playing any games with Scott feels impossible sometimes because
Speaker 5: he will find way, he will find some way to
Speaker 5: complain about it or to and I it's in good fun.
Speaker 5: And he'll he'll come in during commercial breaks sometimes and
Speaker 5: be like, you know, I'm just giving you a hard time,
Speaker 5: and I'm there smiling, cackling, going, dude.
Speaker 2: I know that's the best when you because you're you're
Speaker 2: trying to tell a story, but you're trying to keep funny.
Speaker 2: You're trying to save like you're trying to build a brand,
Speaker 2: so you're messing with each other and the other side
Speaker 2: may not know if you guys maybe hate each other
Speaker 2: at that time, but at the same time, you are
Speaker 2: creating something and that's what draws ears. People do not
Speaker 2: know the whatever content you're doing, the negative or positive,
Speaker 2: and that people just still listen.
Speaker 5: That's the one And let me be clear, it's not
Speaker 5: performative annoyance just for the sake of the show. It
Speaker 5: is coming from a place of annoyance, but at the
Speaker 5: same time, I also know how to take it to
Speaker 5: a point and go it's not going to be much
Speaker 5: more than this.
Speaker 2: So you know, I've I alas enjoyed when I messed
Speaker 2: with you guys.
Speaker 5: It is entertaining sometimes though, I go, dude, what in
Speaker 5: the world you doing here? So?
Speaker 2: Yeah, anything else? Want to get know Joel a little
Speaker 2: bit more? You want to get moving through? Yeah, feel
Speaker 2: free to pretty sure it'll be plenty more stuff as
Speaker 2: we go on, because I know there will be anymore
Speaker 2: for the moment.
Speaker 3: Umm, keep buying my microphone. That's one thing. What did
Speaker 3: Bruce want me to ask him? Oh, Jeffrey's streak of
Speaker 3: losing games while he's doing announcing for quite quite the streak, Yeah,
Speaker 3: twins like almost have you ever had something like that?
Speaker 3: This is where it didn't matter what you did or
Speaker 3: if you went to you know, multiple things in a
Speaker 3: row and then just it was just a bad season.
Speaker 5: Well, I try not to take it personally at that point,
Speaker 5: and I've saw Jeffrey down a little bit with that
Speaker 5: over text where he'll be like, dude, I'm I don't
Speaker 5: know whatever it was twelve or something like that.
Speaker 2: I was like close to oh and twenty it's it
Speaker 2: got Well, it wasn't that because I usually about to
Speaker 2: do twenty games.
Speaker 5: I've reminded Geffrey, I'm like, look, you can't take that
Speaker 5: too personally, because you got to stay doing your work
Speaker 5: and not being worried too much about that or going, oh,
Speaker 5: it's my fault. And I attitude on the air is
Speaker 5: such a big thing, and that that's something that I
Speaker 5: am constantly working at and trying to remind myself, especially
Speaker 5: in the moment in games or with teams I have.
Speaker 5: I have called games for teams from varying degrees of success,
Speaker 5: whether it's been teams fighting to not have a winless season,
Speaker 5: two teams that a team that played for a state
Speaker 5: championship I got. I got to call a state championship
Speaker 5: game in my time here, which which I just I
Speaker 5: look back on that with amazement that I had that opportunity.
Speaker 5: So regardless of the season that the team is having.
Speaker 5: Number One, I try to remember these are high school kids.
Speaker 5: These are high school kids, that this is high school sports.
Speaker 5: They're trying to learn and go through. I had terrible
Speaker 5: seasons that I was part of. I had good seasons
Speaker 5: that I was part of. You have to remember that
Speaker 5: and remember to have a degree of compassion for that
Speaker 5: and understanding of that, and yeah.
Speaker 2: It's it's not you, right, it's not you.
Speaker 5: It's just it's purely it is purely timing.
Speaker 2: And that's why.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I told Geffrey that. I was like, dude, it
Speaker 5: is all timing.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 5: I will joke about that on the bus sometimes I'll
Speaker 5: get on the bus, like there was there was a
Speaker 5: stretch I think early on just after the New Year,
Speaker 5: when I had just gotten back from visiting my family
Speaker 5: in PA where I got back. Yeah, hey, you guys
Speaker 5: can ask away about Pennsylvania by the way too. Where
Speaker 5: I got back and I called a few games. There
Speaker 5: was one stretch where there was a few losses in
Speaker 5: a row, and I got on the bus I think
Speaker 5: it was after a boys basketball game, and I went
Speaker 5: to the coaches because I know, I know I can
Speaker 5: talk about this with those guys, and I was like, guys, man,
Speaker 5: I am sorry, I've got a stench about me right now,
Speaker 5: like it is just it is or it is just rank.
Speaker 5: I mean, I like I'm a walking problem here, like
Speaker 5: this is like I can't seem to call a win
Speaker 5: right now. But like I joke about that with them,
Speaker 5: just going hey, look, just taking some of the pressure
Speaker 5: off them and going, hey, you know what, it's a
Speaker 5: all good guys Like I'm I've got terrible timing right now.
Speaker 5: I feel quote unquote responsible for that.
Speaker 2: So it happens. I just have fun with that, all right,
Speaker 2: move on to the next Yeah we can.
Speaker 3: We can touch on some other stuff as we go.
Speaker 2: Mm hm oh, prepare yourselves. The boys are gonna talk
Speaker 2: about twinkies, all right. The Minnesota Twins, they start their
Speaker 2: season against Baltimore and Baltimore. How many games is Minnesota
Speaker 2: Minnesota Twins is gonna win this year? Hoover. I'd give
Speaker 2: you my pick yet, which I totally forgot to give
Speaker 2: that to you the past two couple of days.
Speaker 5: Are you sure they're definitely starting their season here? It
Speaker 5: seems like people, it seems like everybody who's a Twins
Speaker 5: fan is wanting to hide under the covers and go, no, please, no,
Speaker 5: do we really have to do this?
Speaker 2: Sell the team? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Exactly. In my time here, I can't remember the outlook
Speaker 5: on the team being so bleak. There have been some
Speaker 5: some bad seasons since I've been here, which, oddly enough,
Speaker 5: the two occasions I can think of turned into great seasons.
Speaker 5: The next year that went above expectation, which, hey, if
Speaker 5: you're looking for hope, there you go. I can tell
Speaker 5: you all that. But it is different this year. I've
Speaker 5: not seen the fan base with this level of angst
Speaker 5: and frustration with the team since I've been here, And
Speaker 5: quite honestly, I said this today. I like seeing Twins
Speaker 5: fans feeling that way. It feels like Twins fans take
Speaker 5: a lot where they You guys are as loyal as
Speaker 5: it gets as a fan base, super loyal, and I've
Speaker 5: said Twins fans deserve better for how loyal they are,
Speaker 5: the way they keep coming back, the dedication, the fact
Speaker 5: that we've got a state and region that calls this
Speaker 5: team their own. This team I think has banked on
Speaker 5: that too much. If attendance gets hurt to start the
Speaker 5: year with all these April games, I think that's going
Speaker 5: to be a good thing. I think the ownership needs
Speaker 5: to go. We need to get it together, like whatever
Speaker 5: it's going to take to finally.
Speaker 2: Shake these guys dollar beer nights out of.
Speaker 5: Their shoes and go, we need to invest in this better.
Speaker 5: We need to invest our money better. Period. These guys
Speaker 5: dealing with the debt that they have. What in the
Speaker 5: world all that to say. My guest was seventy two wins.
Speaker 5: Seventy two is the number that I'm sitting on.
Speaker 3: I think that.
Speaker 5: Bullpen is atrocious on paper.
Speaker 2: I do not see it.
Speaker 5: How in the world are you The starting pitching at
Speaker 5: the top is very good with Joe. Ryan is decent enough.
Speaker 5: With the young guys that they have. There's some guys
Speaker 5: who have some potential there, provided that they stay healthy
Speaker 5: and stay out there. They've got some pop here and
Speaker 5: there in the lineup, but it's only here and there,
Speaker 5: and you're banking on potential slash little bits that some
Speaker 5: guys can do. You've got a new manager who knows
Speaker 5: what the clubhouse environment's going to be like. But that bullpen,
Speaker 5: how do they protect leads with that?
Speaker 2: I don't know?
Speaker 3: And then they released I mean that text I sent
Speaker 3: you the other day where they released Hendrix and I'm like,
Speaker 3: didn't need them. I guess, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Like it released a lot of veteran play.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Hendricks is he's obviously a bit older by now,
Speaker 5: and obviously he's gone through a lot health wise with
Speaker 5: battling cancer like he has. I don't know what he's
Speaker 5: got left in the tank as far as pitching. But
Speaker 5: I mean, you look at the lineup that they've got
Speaker 5: anyway in that bullpen, and you're going, man, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 5: Taylor Rogers a few years ago was really good. How
Speaker 5: much does he have left here? He seems like the
Speaker 5: de facto closer. But it looks like it's gonna be
Speaker 5: just what the matchups bring you. It's it's by committee, truly.
Speaker 5: Looking at all that, yeah, I think it's gonna be rough.
Speaker 2: What are you? What are you picking? Geffrey? I'm going
Speaker 2: with sixty five?
Speaker 3: Sixty five?
Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, yeah, sixty five. How about you? Dustin?
Speaker 3: Well, I think I guessed too high last year. I'm
Speaker 3: pretty sure I think you were on the higher end.
Speaker 5: I remember. I think you sent a guest into our show.
Speaker 5: Were you in the low nineties last year?
Speaker 3: I don't think I went that high. Okay, maybe maybe
Speaker 3: I might have. I can't remember. I'm more like the
Speaker 3: seventy eight or something like that. This year. I think
Speaker 3: they'll be hovering around. I don't think like you said.
Speaker 3: I think the starting pitching will keep them in things.
Speaker 5: If they if they decide to sell off again at
Speaker 5: the deadline, though it could that's true.
Speaker 2: To really it could turn into I think it will
Speaker 2: turn bad quick. How many wins do you say?
Speaker 3: Seventy eight and you know, losing Pablo Lopez too, that.
Speaker 2: Really still hurts. Yeah, Ted Swstler, who is our Twins insider,
Speaker 2: he said, seventy five.
Speaker 5: Seventy five okay, so, which I think is a decent guess,
Speaker 5: you know, but you've still got the White Sox being
Speaker 5: at the level that they're.
Speaker 2: At, you know, And yeah, he said, like I text
Speaker 2: him and said, seventy five. Are you insane? He's like,
Speaker 2: We're not White Sox bad, but we're still gonna be
Speaker 2: pretty bad.
Speaker 5: I mean, even if you look at the bad teams
Speaker 5: among baseball last year, and the Twins were one of them,
Speaker 5: you're looking at that mid lower seventies kind of scalm.
Speaker 5: And the Twins won seventy last year with the season
Speaker 5: that they had, So I mean, you start there as
Speaker 5: your your baseline, I guess, and go or do you
Speaker 5: even want to go lower? Is the question?
Speaker 3: Didn't Cleveland get worse too?
Speaker 1: Though?
Speaker 5: That's the expectation is that Cleveland's gonna be worse.
Speaker 2: Scott Wilson went with seventy five wins, so that's I
Speaker 2: try to have with Travis and Sam had I think
Speaker 2: they had they were hovering like in the seventies as
Speaker 2: well too. Yeah, yeah, it's the twins are gonna be bad.
Speaker 2: They had two dollars beer night, I think for their opener.
Speaker 2: In the next couple of weeks they have the they
Speaker 2: announced their opening roster or they're opening day lineup already.
Speaker 2: So that's good to see. But man, I honestly don't
Speaker 2: think out of Joe Ryan. Let's say, let's say we're horrible.
Speaker 2: We're terrible. We are in the middle of July, we
Speaker 2: start selling off players like Joe Ryan probably is not
Speaker 2: going to be here. Other guy I think is Walner.
Speaker 2: Wally's not gonna be here. Great guy against the righty's
Speaker 2: because he's left handed, hitter, crushes against righties. He's a
Speaker 2: lot of potential. I see him being gone.
Speaker 5: Yeah, whoever's on expirings, you kind of you kind of
Speaker 5: think that they're gonna be the ones who are gonna
Speaker 5: end up saying goodbye.
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably you're kind of stuck with because he's injured.
Speaker 2: But I think Joe Ryan Buckston, he was saying bucks
Speaker 2: and he's staying contractor. I think he'll stay. But he's
Speaker 2: gonna hate it because last year he's pretty ticked off
Speaker 2: that like everybody was gone.
Speaker 5: He's been a good soldier, Yeah, I think he's been
Speaker 5: a really good soldier through all this.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's twins. I mean, we'll talk more about it,
Speaker 2: Tess'll have more about it in the next couple of days.
Speaker 2: The opening day is fun, Yeah, it is fun. I'm
Speaker 2: wearing my jersey tomorrow for work, so I'll be around
Speaker 2: town where.
Speaker 5: My Bryce arper jersey ready for tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Yeah. What happened to World Classic with.
Speaker 1: Him that home.
Speaker 5: Was that was a phenomenal moment. Unfortunately top half of
Speaker 5: the ninth then that was happened.
Speaker 2: But did you see this? No life at all in
Speaker 2: that American team? The pass little last two games, there
Speaker 2: was zero life in the dugout pitching and defense saved them.
Speaker 5: Well when you're yeah, when you're struggling to hit and
Speaker 5: that's that's a tough place to be for a team,
Speaker 5: and especially a team that impressive.
Speaker 1: So that was.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was a bummer the way, but World Baseball
Speaker 5: Classic was phenomenal.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 2: It was a good one. It was good to watch.
Speaker 2: Overall dust anything else, I've got nothing, nothing, else. All right,
Speaker 2: moving on to more of a local Uh BUTMIJI women's basketball,
Speaker 2: but mean State women's basketball. Chelsea decided to resign. Do
Speaker 2: you what what do you take? Did you? I've assume
Speaker 2: we talked about on your show on high Noon for
Speaker 2: kun what would you get out of it?
Speaker 5: I'm gonna get a lot more out of it tomorrow
Speaker 5: because Chelsea is joining High Noon tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she is. She's one of my favorite people to
Speaker 2: talk to. She was gonna be on our show a
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago, but we got hit with that
Speaker 2: huge snowstar.
Speaker 5: Has she been on with you guys before?
Speaker 2: Long time? I thought so, And she's one of my favorites.
Speaker 2: This is when Steve O was still with us, So
Speaker 2: that's how long ago that was.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Chelsea is just a phenomenal interview and we talked
Speaker 5: about it a little bit on the show. I was
Speaker 5: I was talking with Charlie about this yesterday, Charlie Eggert
Speaker 5: and yeah, there you go. And yeah, I'm gonna talk
Speaker 5: to Chelsea tomorrow and get to hear more about it
Speaker 5: from her. But one of the biggest things that I'm
Speaker 5: gonna miss about her coaching is the energy that she
Speaker 5: did it with and here's here's a cool stat And
Speaker 5: I talked about this on high noon. Chelsea got here
Speaker 5: to Bimidgie at around the same time that I did. Yes,
Speaker 5: I was, And I remember she told me when she
Speaker 5: got here she started out on a couch doing recruiting
Speaker 5: from it. When she got here, she got plugged in
Speaker 5: right away, started recruiting from a couch basically, and then
Speaker 5: was was starting to get that program up and going.
Speaker 5: And it felt like multiple times built that program back up.
Speaker 5: She got something established after a tough first few years,
Speaker 5: thenans for portal stuff started taking off more. She had
Speaker 5: to build it back up again and then build it
Speaker 5: back up again and did it with so much energy, enthusiasm,
Speaker 5: commitment to culture, and those are special traits that are
Speaker 5: are definitely going to be missed. I'm so glad that
Speaker 5: she is sticking around. Yeah, I'm so glad that she's
Speaker 5: going to be staying on the administrative side there at
Speaker 5: the school. You need people like her with her energy
Speaker 5: and passion and ability to connect people. It's great that
Speaker 5: she's staying around like that. I know she's got a
Speaker 5: young daughter and she I'm really curious to hear more
Speaker 5: of the thoughts straight from her about it tomorrow and
Speaker 5: and just hear about it. She's like, I've got a
Speaker 5: lot more time these days.
Speaker 2: And she was going to be on I snapped her
Speaker 2: that too. I was like, so see on the show,
Speaker 2: Mayer Shirley. She's like absolutely, yeah. Yeah. I start to
Speaker 2: talk to her about it and tell her what I
Speaker 2: mentioned it is getting teed up, tell her how she
Speaker 2: got teed up. It's one of my favorite all time
Speaker 2: stories from her, and it's yeah, it's one of the
Speaker 2: greatest stories. But yeah, well you guys can hear that,
Speaker 2: of course on a high noon tomorrow with Hoover. But yeah,
Speaker 2: it's it's awesome. It sucks that, like I've obviously like
Speaker 2: she is a young kid and stuff, and she's going
Speaker 2: to kind of be more homebody and stuff. And yeah,
Speaker 2: we'll see.
Speaker 5: We'll see how much of a factor that was. And
Speaker 5: I'm curious to hear from her about the part that
Speaker 5: that that just family and home life played into it.
Speaker 5: And but definitely going to be different not having her
Speaker 5: next year after all, after eleven seasons, just a lot
Speaker 5: of just really really cool But I mean, she's she's
Speaker 5: so well connected here in town too. Of course, having family,
Speaker 5: I mean the connected the way that she is with

Speaker 5: championship this year, so that was a good consolation because
Speaker 5: watching the bracket wasn't much fun for me. I was like, oh, man,
Speaker 5: I thought I had a good idea there and then
Speaker 5: it didn't come off.
Speaker 2: The Chad says like, I feel like I'm listening to
Speaker 2: high Noon here. I mean that's I mean, that's true.
Speaker 2: I mean basically.

Speaker 5: a good soldier when it comes to taking the the
Speaker 5: punches that people.
Speaker 2: Like to throw you away sometimes with everybody what well,
Speaker 2: he can take it.
Speaker 3: I think that's part of it, and he encourages it.
Speaker 5: I think he kind of does your your personality you
Speaker 5: like to you like to inspire a bit of that,
Speaker 5: but I do.
Speaker 2: It's always.
Speaker 5: By the way, you are sixty six, tied for sixty

Speaker 5: but I had Vandy losing to Houston in the Elite eight.
Speaker 5: I've still got my Final four intact. If it's just
Speaker 5: some of those picks where I try to be clever.
Speaker 5: Gonzaga going to the Elite eight. That was a bad
Speaker 5: idea that they're not as good this year.
Speaker 2: No one ever thinks I always pick Gonzaga to like
Speaker 2: go a little bit far, but never make it to
Speaker 2: like the Sweet sixteen, and when I do, and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 2: I'm an idiot when I do that.
Speaker 5: There were a few years where they were good value
Speaker 5: for it. This was not the year nope.

Speaker 2: forward to miss connections. So let me explain to you
Speaker 2: what misconnections is. Have you ever heard of miss connections?
Speaker 5: I don't think so.
Speaker 2: Okay, So this is basically people pouring out their hearts
Speaker 2: on the Internet. They're trying to find love, not always
Speaker 2: in the right man, and I have to read it
Speaker 2: word for word verbatim. That's free you got it. I know, I've,
Speaker 2: I've sometimes I just messed with them and say verbatim
Speaker 2: because it's fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah you messed with us, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, casaus.
Speaker 5: But it reminds me of it reminds me of the
Speaker 5: montage of mispronounced words that Stu Gotts would do on
Speaker 5: the damn Levatar. Oh my gosh, it's it.
Speaker 2: If you find that on.
Speaker 5: YouTube, it is. It is hilarious and whole horrible to
Speaker 5: listen to.
Speaker 2: One of the one of the games I want to
Speaker 2: bring back and then you'd be great at this is
Speaker 2: hit the Post.
Speaker 5: I love hitting the post.
Speaker 2: It's one of my favorite things. Now great.
Speaker 5: I love when the common man does that.
Speaker 2: I've that's another good one too. I love when so
Speaker 2: we have in the radio business, we have timers that
Speaker 2: go off like it tells you when the lyrics are
Speaker 2: going to hit. But for what we do, it is
Speaker 2: you have to know the song and know when that
Speaker 2: lyric is going to start. You have to tap dance
Speaker 2: yourself like you got it. You have a uh call,
Speaker 2: you have your call call letters, your station mascot, and
Speaker 2: you have to tap dance till that thing hits. And
Speaker 2: it's a lot of fun. So people in the radio
Speaker 2: business like, it's fun for me because I know how
Speaker 2: it goes. But people who don't know, they be tap
Speaker 2: dance and tap dance and tat dats and and then like,
Speaker 2: oh no, I missed the spot, damn it.
Speaker 5: And it takes a lot of practice to do it well.
Speaker 2: Hilarious.
Speaker 5: If you do it well, it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Steve was obviously really good at because he worked
Speaker 2: in radio for many, many years.
Speaker 3: Used to do a lot more with music before we
Speaker 3: got a little bit afraid of using all these.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's been a few times I get like hit
Speaker 2: kicked back and they're like, this is illegal.
Speaker 5: I love when Common does it for Sauce Alito Summer Night.
Speaker 5: And my favorite, though, might be for Olivia Newton John's
Speaker 5: make a move on me when he said that he
Speaker 5: worked at a radio station where I was the last
Speaker 5: call letter, and so he'll say it, he'll say the
Speaker 5: first three letters and then he'll let the I be
Speaker 5: said by Olivia Newton John. Absolutely brilliant, brilliant.

Speaker 2: such as a big box store, strike up a brief
Speaker 2: conversation over something on the shelf and wish it could
Speaker 2: have gone farther? But in the moment to try this stuff,
Speaker 2: you should write right this down. But in the moment
Speaker 2: you didn't exert yourself and ask for more information that
Speaker 2: could have went, that could have furthered the conversation and
Speaker 2: possibly a connection. I'm not on any old platform, tall,
Speaker 2: big big letters, old platform. I don't hang out in

Speaker 2: open to the spontaneous chance. Sixty one female, it's a
Speaker 2: lated you know that is.

Speaker 2: up all night together walking the strip smoking some greenies,
Speaker 2: and he said he wanted to save our first kiss
Speaker 2: for something more romantic or something like that. Again, this
Speaker 2: is years ago, lol. We planned to meet at the
Speaker 2: pool that day, but my friends dragged me away somewhere
Speaker 2: and I never saw him again. Pshaw, I know the
Speaker 2: internet is crazy, is a crazy place, and not expecting

Speaker 2: Last one, Number five. The tallest building in Beltrami County
Speaker 2: is at the Bumiji State University and is known as
Speaker 2: Trek Hall.
Speaker 5: Tamarack.
Speaker 2: Tamarack. How many stories. Hi, is it? Oh man?
Speaker 5: Great question? Trying to remember if somebody ever told me
Speaker 5: how many stories it is?
Speaker 3: Scott found out for us I drafted Tarak Hall in
Speaker 3: my last fantasy draft.
Speaker 5: I've been on one of the higher floors there at Tamarack.
Speaker 5: How many stories? How many floors?
Speaker 2: How many stories?
Speaker 5: How many stories? Once again, I'm gonna have a lot
Speaker 5: of locals. Man, if I get this one wrong, which
Speaker 5: very well might, I'm gonna say eight.
Speaker 2: The answer is twelve. It is twelve.
Speaker 5: I had twelve go through my mind where I had
Speaker 5: made the guests of twelve earlier there at the States,
Speaker 5: and I.
Speaker 2: Was like, is it twelve?
Speaker 5: Is it really that tall? I should have gone with
Speaker 5: my gut bummer is twelve. So yeah, that is a
Speaker 5: Whiskipedia to all. Very fun, fun, very very fun. I
Speaker 5: like good trivia. I like doing trivia on the show.
Speaker 5: Being on the other side of it, of course it's challenge.
Speaker 2: Different, yeah, different.
Speaker 5: That reminded me a lot of when I administered the
Speaker 5: wonderlick to you that's fun, which I said on the air.
Speaker 5: I was like, that is hard for somebody to do
Speaker 5: verbally like that, and you just the willingness that you
Speaker 5: had to do it and to go through with it.
Speaker 5: Like I, I enjoyed that you were willing to lean
Speaker 5: into the bit, even if it made you look silly.
Speaker 2: I had a lot of fun with it. It was
Speaker 2: a lot of fun.
Speaker 5: I had a lot of fun with that too.
Speaker 2: Yeah. All right, time for our draft draft, all right, racket, bracket,
Speaker 2: All right, So this year's bracket is the worst moments
Speaker 2: in Minnesota sports history. Now, the committee was hard at
Speaker 2: it the past couple of weeks trying to figure out
Speaker 2: what they wanted to go with, leaning into it and uh,
Speaker 2: the competiting was not me.
Speaker 3: I stay out of it until today. I'm gonna help me,
Speaker 3: see it.
Speaker 2: I had I had to do that. Normally I don't
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 3: So what the seeding was, how we how we did
Speaker 3: it is we had the list compiled, We had the
Speaker 3: number one seeds put in already, and then me and
Speaker 3: Jeffrey pretty much fantasy drafted the rest of them, like
Speaker 3: based on what we thought. Just you just want me
Speaker 3: to start reddling off?
Speaker 2: Go ahead, start off?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 3: In each region, all right, the first region is the
Speaker 3: gant was out region. The number one seed is and
Speaker 3: I'll give a little bit of if I know anything.
Speaker 2: Oh, also a little uh. We all have these posted
Speaker 2: on our Facebook page, probably tomorrow morning because I'm going
Speaker 2: to put it all together. So let's ay every week
Speaker 2: people vote. Last year we did the TV characters, and
Speaker 2: Bruce was pretty pissed because George stands I gotta beat
Speaker 2: up by Jennifer Haaniston. Now, the person who picked the
Speaker 2: photo for Jennifer Aniston might have been that might have
Speaker 2: been this.
Speaker 5: Leading greatest TV character of all time?
Speaker 3: What the greatest TV character of doonet even picked her
Speaker 3: from friends, but people voted.
Speaker 5: Wait, hang on, it was Jennifer Aniston versus George Rachel Green.
Speaker 5: We don't even want to get into I can't believe
Speaker 5: George lost that. I mean, Rachel was iconic, yes, no
Speaker 5: question about it. But George could Stan Yeah, I don't. Yeah,
Speaker 5: you should have Scary DiMaggio Mantle, Costanza can't leave you lost?
Speaker 3: Saw how early Welter White went out? That was INFI yeah, no,
Speaker 3: it's bad.
Speaker 5: Yeah, where was I I should have voted on that
Speaker 5: would have just made me that much more seven more votes.
Speaker 5: I can't believe he got voted out early like that.
Speaker 5: One of the greatest TV characters ever one of the
Speaker 5: most loathsome but one of the greatest.
Speaker 2: Blew my mind.
Speaker 3: All right, good, go ahead, sir, all right, the number
Speaker 3: one seed and with the first round by besse, we
Speaker 3: have what twenty four?
Speaker 2: Yeah we did? Uh?
Speaker 3: The north Stars leaving in March nineteen ninety three with
Speaker 3: poor attendance, failure to build a new arena, and financial issues.
Speaker 3: Our favorite person or moved the Minisota north Stars Green.
Speaker 2: The uh.
Speaker 3: The five versus six matchup is number five. The dome
Speaker 3: collapse encapsulating the teams collapse after two thousand and nine.
Speaker 3: The dome did a mean impression. The number sixth seed
Speaker 3: is the Teddy Bridgewater injury, which costs the Vikings two
Speaker 3: first rounders to replace him with Sam Bradford.
Speaker 5: Quick story on the dome collapse because I remember seeing
Speaker 5: that from AFAR back in Pennsylvania. I remember that that
Speaker 5: making national news. When the dome collapse like that, I
Speaker 5: was stunned. I was just in stunned disbelief that that happened.
Speaker 5: When when that thing collapsed in on itself, I was like,
Speaker 5: are you kidding me? Did this really just happen here
Speaker 5: with this place? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Really?
Speaker 2: Really, I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 5: I also remember because that was what was that twenty ten?
Speaker 2: Yeah, when that happened.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I remember because that was the uh actually
Speaker 3: it was late two thousand and nine, right December.
Speaker 2: I thought it was two thousand and ten because they
Speaker 2: had a place the second year.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it was the second year, afar. I remember
Speaker 5: that because.
Speaker 3: NFL scene has always confused me with their double years.
Speaker 5: Yes, and I remember that because my Packers won the
Speaker 5: Super Bowl that year. Nobody cares, sorry, all right?
Speaker 3: And the yeah, well you know what, I've skipped the
Speaker 3: number two seed because they also have a bye. We
Speaker 3: went to ninety seven Gophers Final four scandal.
Speaker 5: Oh my goodness. You know, it's funny when I hear
Speaker 5: people talk about that who are trying to rewrite history
Speaker 5: in some respects, like yeah, get the banners out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's sell. Who cares. It's like they broke the rules?
Speaker 2: What are we doing? Yeah?
Speaker 3: For the longest time, I could remember the name of
Speaker 3: the lady that wrote the papers for the kids too,
Speaker 3: and now I can't.
Speaker 5: But oh my gosh.
Speaker 3: All right, So then the three and four matchup is
Speaker 3: Number three is the Twins eighteen game losing streak from
Speaker 3: October fifth, two thousand and four to October third, twenty
Speaker 3: twenty three. The Minnesota Twins lost eighteen straight playoff games. Yep,
Speaker 3: and the number four number four is Walsh wide left.
Speaker 3: The Vikings lost ten to nine on a frozen field
Speaker 3: with a short sleeve, but Grant in attendance over.
Speaker 5: Watch that in stunt tune now loved it. Couldn't believe it.
Speaker 3: Twenty seven yard couldn't believe it.
Speaker 2: The season can't add like that.
Speaker 3: The next bracket is the meat raffle bracket.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah.
Speaker 3: The number one seed overall with the first round by
Speaker 3: is the Herschel Walker trade. Walker was traded for five players,
Speaker 3: eight picks, three first three seconds, and a third.
Speaker 2: What happened those picks? I get on it, guys.
Speaker 5: I have good news for you. I think that trade
Speaker 5: has been surpassed for worst trade in history, the Lukadancics trade.
Speaker 5: It looks worse every day. The Vikings, I think might
Speaker 5: be off the hook. It's certainly the worst trade in
Speaker 5: Minnesota sports history, but for sports history, I think the
Speaker 5: Donchetz trade might have beaten it by now.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, And I'm just realizing that these two are
Speaker 3: in the same region. This one is also a horrible,
Speaker 3: horrible passing on Steph Curry twice in two thousand and
Speaker 3: nine for Ricky Rubio and Johnny Flynn.
Speaker 5: I say it all the time, Steph Curry may have
Speaker 5: never become the Steph Curry that we know if he
Speaker 5: had been drafted by the Wolves.
Speaker 3: That is true.
Speaker 2: Surely you can't be serious, all right?
Speaker 3: Number five?
Speaker 5: I am serious, and don't call me Shirley brilliant.
Speaker 3: Five to six matchup is this Johann Santana trade the
Speaker 3: twins Man Twins ended up with Carlos Gomez who had
Speaker 3: a moment, and Phil Humber and two people that I
Speaker 3: didn't even bother writing down. Number six is the love
Speaker 3: Boat Vikings. We won't go into specifics because we already
Speaker 3: got all crazy with Matt with the stuff there. So
Speaker 3: if you need any details about the love Boat, maybe
Speaker 3: check them out on a Wikipedia or yeah, talk to Matt.
Speaker 2: I say, nay, nay.
Speaker 5: You know a lot of moments come to mind. I
Speaker 5: thought of the Love Boat very very quickly when I
Speaker 5: when you guys were talking about this brack and I
Speaker 5: was like, I wonder where it's gonna show up here?
Speaker 3: Alrighty? And then the three to four matchup is the
Speaker 3: untapped potential of the maur Morno Boys. Dude injuries. Neither
Speaker 3: one of them really reached their total potential, and the
Speaker 3: team never peaked with them. Number four is the Wolves
Speaker 3: PAYE Joe Smith under the table. They were fined three
Speaker 3: point five million, stripped of five first round picks, and
Speaker 3: Smith's contract was avoided. I think they ended up getting
Speaker 3: one of those first round picks back. However, that was
Speaker 3: probably one of the dumbest moves in NBA history.
Speaker 5: I'm I'm so glad the Wolves have had a stretch
Speaker 5: of competency the last few years because looking back on
Speaker 5: their history, when I got here getting into it more,
Speaker 5: I was I was utterly, utterly blown away at how
Speaker 5: bad and how tragically bad they've been. Of you guys
Speaker 5: really did that well they.
Speaker 3: Did that in nineteen ninety nine, and then by two
Speaker 3: thousand and four they were in the Western Conference, you know,
Speaker 3: which is kind of crazy, but they had no depth.
Speaker 5: Really, Yeah, exactly, KG and friends, all right, the Cassell's free.
Speaker 5: Well yeah, all those guys.
Speaker 3: Yep, can't feed my family, Okay. Next region is the
Speaker 3: Deer Camp Region. The number one seed is the nineteen
Speaker 3: ninety eight Minnesota Vikings fifteen to one, the highest scoring
Speaker 3: offensive all time at the time, and then, of course
Speaker 3: we all know what happened.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, happened.
Speaker 3: H Gary Anderson. That sucks all right?
Speaker 5: Here makes me think of Pat summerle Gary Anderson and
Speaker 5: Gary miss the field goal.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think that's where the announcers jinx, that's happened.
Speaker 1: Good.
Speaker 5: I try not to do that at any games. I
Speaker 5: tried to sleep of like a good policy. Good policy, yep.
Speaker 2: Because I don't want to. You be like, why'd you
Speaker 2: say that? I don't know.
Speaker 3: The number two seed in that bracket is Kirby Pucket's
Speaker 3: early retirement after being hit by Dennis Martinez. He later
Speaker 3: developed glaucoma and hung him up, probably about six years
Speaker 3: earlier than he would have.
Speaker 2: Boo. Yep.
Speaker 3: The number five six, Sorry, somebody take that away from him.
Speaker 3: The number in five, number five and six is the
Speaker 3: original hail Mary Pearson and Stobach team up to on
Speaker 3: a fifty yard pass for seventeen to fourteen win in
Speaker 3: nineteen seventy five divisional playoff game.
Speaker 2: Damn it.
Speaker 3: Number six up against that hil Mary is Jack Morris
Speaker 3: bailing on the Twins after winning the championship in nineteen
Speaker 3: ninety one and heading north to win some more with
Speaker 3: Boo our neighbors to the north.
Speaker 5: That second one with the blue Jays especially hurt. That
Speaker 5: was at the expense of my Phillies.
Speaker 3: Yes, and I was rooting for the Phillies that year.
Speaker 3: My brother was a was rooting for Toronto and I.
Speaker 5: Was in will Mitch Williams mile thing.
Speaker 3: Why do you have to fail us Minnesota on that
Speaker 3: Philly team that year too? Jim eisbrich Ah, I did
Speaker 3: Saint Cloud. Oh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 5: That yeah, that does ring a bell.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 5: I remember that, all right?
Speaker 3: The number three seed up against number four seed is
Speaker 3: number three is kg trade. The Timber was traded Kevin
Speaker 3: Garnett to the Celtics for Richard Jefferson. Uh, some guy
Speaker 3: named Ratliffe, THEO Ratliffe, A yeah, theo. The all time
Speaker 3: great Sebastian telfairt and two.
Speaker 5: First round picks started the Big three era.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: And number four is the Twins outright releasing David Ortiz.
Speaker 3: He was due about two million in sellary arbitration, but
Speaker 3: injuries and love of the small ball made the Twins
Speaker 3: go in a different direction.
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? No, that's tough.
Speaker 5: Yes, it was.
Speaker 2: That's why. That's why you see the minsil of the
Speaker 2: Twins always hang on players. Why is the kN so no,
Speaker 2: as long as they possibly can to.
Speaker 5: See Yeah, I remember with Miguelson now it was always
Speaker 5: the conversation, is this another Ortiz kind of situation?
Speaker 6: Ye have?
Speaker 5: Big Poppy came in October, Legend.
Speaker 3: And our final region, the Ludifisk Region. We've got the
Speaker 3: number one seed. The Lakers moved to LA That was
Speaker 3: caused by the retirement of George Miken. So it saw
Speaker 3: declining sales, ticket sales, the building was falling apart. Pretty
Speaker 3: much every reason the North Stars left is why the
Speaker 3: Lakers left. The number two seed in that region is
Speaker 3: the two thousand and nine NFC Championship. Far across the body.
Speaker 3: This isn't Detroit man bounty Gate enough said what we
Speaker 3: do right?
Speaker 2: Then?
Speaker 3: We've got the number five to six matchup. Number five
Speaker 3: is two thousand and three Michigan Gophers. Game tough the Gophers.
Speaker 3: We're going into that game six and oh up against
Speaker 3: Michigan who was four and two. The Gophers led twenty
Speaker 3: eight to seven in the third quarter and blew the game.
Speaker 3: It could have been a a program changing game. They
Speaker 3: would move to seven to zero. They did finish that season,
Speaker 3: I believe ranked in the top twenty anyway at a
Speaker 3: ten and three, and Michigan I believe went to the
Speaker 3: Rose Bowl. Could be wrong on that though I did
Speaker 3: a lot of reading earlier. That is up against number
Speaker 3: six Marbury Leaves, breaking up the dynamic duo started screw. Okay,
Speaker 3: seems harsh, but okay. Number three versus four. Number three
Speaker 3: is the Randy Moss trade. The Vikings traded Randy Moss
Speaker 3: to the Raiders for Napoleon Harris, the seventh overall pick,
Speaker 3: which turned out to be a blind wide receiver. It's
Speaker 3: a drop and no. That was a seventh overall pick
Speaker 3: and a seventh round pick. The number four seed is
Speaker 3: Gaberick Leaves. After playing only seventeen regular season games, he
Speaker 3: bolted for New York. Was a big contract, so he
Speaker 3: had lower body injury most of that season before he left.
Speaker 3: Didn't have a chance to trade him even because he
Speaker 3: was hurt.
Speaker 2: Scott, there was a well, we could do autiable mentions.
Speaker 2: I mean, we've already gone through a lot, but there
Speaker 2: was a lot of you could do. But one am
Speaker 2: I that I liked was the Gophers back in two
Speaker 2: thousand and six where they had Maroney and Barber against
Speaker 2: Texas Tech in the in a bowl game. They were
Speaker 2: up by three touchdowns and got their teeth kicked in
Speaker 2: by Texas Tech.
Speaker 3: Isn't that what got Mason fired?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I can't believe forty one donut didn't make it.
Speaker 5: You're very surprised at.
Speaker 2: That as an honorable mention. Now the committee needs they
Speaker 2: did all this.
Speaker 5: I heard the Vikings defense was like chairs out there.
Speaker 5: That's what I've been told.
Speaker 3: Anyway, We've had so many losses in playoffs. They just
Speaker 3: forgot all about that one. You know. The other one
Speaker 3: too that we were talking about, and I was like,
Speaker 3: should I cross something out? Was what's his name we
Speaker 3: were talking about earlier? The Yes, yeah, that's his name,
Speaker 3: that guy I can't remember now. Team just passed away
Speaker 3: the Gophers coach legendary coach university Ultz because he had
Speaker 3: built a team up those a couple of years that
Speaker 3: he was here, and they they went to a bowl
Speaker 3: game the year he left, and then they didn't get
Speaker 3: to another bowl game until nineteen ninety seven. I think
Speaker 3: with Glenn Mason. So they went, yeah, all that time,
Speaker 3: fine Fox and then to see the coach at built
Speaker 3: your program up for two.
Speaker 5: Years and then it turns into a wasteland.
Speaker 3: Tunes into wasteland here, and then he wins a national championship.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fine. Everything is fine. It's fine.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, that's the bracket.
Speaker 5: There's a lot to pick fro him, isn't there?
Speaker 3: Unfortunately? I called it March Sadness.
Speaker 2: March Sadness, right, yeah, the thing you're there.
Speaker 3: On the show title or maybe both want but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that is our March Madness bracket bracket for
Speaker 2: the Beer Really Sports. I'll have it posted tomorrow morning.
Speaker 2: You get a chance to vote. Every week we slide
Speaker 2: into a new one and it'll be a fun time.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna I'm gonna vote for Walter White every time
Speaker 5: he's in there in lieu of missing out on last
Speaker 5: year's bracket.
Speaker 2: He's in there. Well, I'm pretty sure I got you, Walter,
Speaker 2: Pretty sure Bruce would be like Droge g Stands every time.
Speaker 5: Every time him, Hey, I'd write him in.
Speaker 2: All right. So yeah, that is our our bracket again,
Speaker 2: to be out tomorrow morning.
Speaker 5: And yeah, it's not a lie if you believe it true.
Speaker 2: Uh, Scott said, miscutting Josh Harding NHL career short to be.
Speaker 2: I don't know who they even is.
Speaker 3: Well, we had to cutch some of them out. We'll
Speaker 3: get twenty something.
Speaker 2: I don't know who that even is. So, I mean,
Speaker 2: Scott's a huge hockey guy. I don't know.
Speaker 5: I just barely goodbye with like, but I know it's
Speaker 5: still it still amazes me that the guy like Dan
Speaker 5: Minnesota has done the calendar of Calamity and that you
Speaker 5: can even put something like that together. You have that
Speaker 5: many choices to pick from.
Speaker 2: That's why I'm like, we're trying to figure out, like,
Speaker 2: what do you want to do this year? And I
Speaker 2: had chat TBT help me like your bracket and it
Speaker 2: said worst moments than Minnesota sports history. I'm like, love it.
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, it's it's a it's a stunning list.
Speaker 5: I mean, you guys like I may not like the
Speaker 5: or Slash support the Minnesota teams, especially in the case
Speaker 5: of the Vikings, like they are rival a rival of
Speaker 5: the team that I support, but at the same time
Speaker 5: there's such an immense respect for Minnesota sports fans that
Speaker 5: I have because of the dedication as you wait and
Speaker 5: hope and search for a title like the one that
Speaker 5: I grew up around was the Eagles. You know, seeing
Speaker 5: the Eagles struggle and struggle for years and years and
Speaker 5: years to not win a title and then they finally
Speaker 5: got over the top and on one and then won
Speaker 5: another one like.
Speaker 2: The collective vates to Marty Wahlberg, Well.
Speaker 5: Hey, I mean the inspiration, I suppose, but the the
Speaker 5: the way that the left that it lifted a collective
Speaker 5: weight off the shoulders of everybody. I mean, yeah, you
Speaker 5: have to go back almost almost a generation now, like
Speaker 5: the Twins winning those two titles, those before I was born.
Speaker 5: I was born in number two eighty seven and ninety one.
Speaker 5: That's before I was born.
Speaker 2: Like, it's it, It is stunning.
Speaker 5: And and so you guys, I mean, you've had the
Speaker 5: links in the WNBA and what they've done there. There's
Speaker 5: been success there, There's been bits and pieces here and there,
Speaker 5: but you guys, you guys stick it out impressively with
Speaker 5: the Big Four.
Speaker 3: I was six and ten when they won their championships,
Speaker 3: and I mean to be that age when they win
Speaker 3: and then not get them back. You just thought we
Speaker 3: were gonna win all the time.
Speaker 5: You want one when there's an adult, like when the
Speaker 5: Packers won with FARV. They're in the nineties. I was
Speaker 5: too young to remember that. I can remember that night
Speaker 5: and having a watch party with family, but I don't
Speaker 5: remember the game when they want my senior year when
Speaker 5: they won with Rogers and beat the Steelers. That was special.
Speaker 5: That that's right up there. It's not my all sorry,
Speaker 5: it's not my all time favorite sports moment, but it
Speaker 5: is right there. It's it's close. It's think Samuel jard Sorry, sorry.
Speaker 3: My AI picture of the jersey I'm wearing. You're talking
Speaker 3: about that that Super Bowl? Yeah, yeah, I'm wearing a
Speaker 3: bloodshow jersey in the oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah look at that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, bloodsow jersey with a I think a newer style
Speaker 5: Patriots jersey there. But all that to say, you guys
Speaker 5: are impressive. It's it's really impressive. The dedication and the
Speaker 5: passion and the love that's there, even even through just
Speaker 5: another gut wrenching loss or gut wrenching moment. But it's
Speaker 5: it's bonded Minnesota sports fans together.
Speaker 3: Yeah, in its own way, made us all self loathing.
Speaker 2: My goodness. Chad said, whoa Joe making me feel old
Speaker 2: being born in eighty six.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, got I also born in the I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's it's fine.
Speaker 5: I hate making hate making people feel old.
Speaker 2: No, it's fine, it's fine. Sure you do it to Kevin.
Speaker 2: I'm sure you do it to No.
Speaker 5: You know I have people who I have people who
Speaker 5: are either my age or younger than me go wow,
Speaker 5: I'm old when they think of something and I'm like,
Speaker 5: you don't have to think about it that way. I
Speaker 5: genuinely try to not think that way where it's like
Speaker 5: I'm just getting older. It's the passage of time, is
Speaker 5: what it is. But I try not to think about
Speaker 5: it that way.
Speaker 2: All right, Twins show been a good show. Ye been
Speaker 2: a fun show. Got two hours in. That's about where
Speaker 2: I wanted to be. It's a perfect Thanks for having me, guys,
Speaker 2: this is a blast. You can be a way for
Speaker 2: You don't have to do this anymore. You could just
Speaker 2: want it anymore, but you don't have to like do
Speaker 2: this part. You just be in front of a mic. Now.
Speaker 5: You know, it's fun watching you be on that side
Speaker 5: of it, Jeffery, because that's me for high noon essentially.
Speaker 2: That it's literally you the entire time, and I see
Speaker 2: Amy like I know Zach what he's doing every time.
Speaker 2: All right, Joel, we learned today? What did you learn
Speaker 2: on the show?
Speaker 5: Don't be redundant, don't be redundant? Shoot my shot more often?
Speaker 2: Maybe, yeh boy? All right?
Speaker 5: And then I've learned a few things being here in
Speaker 5: the Upper Midwest. It helped me with trivia and about there.
Speaker 2: Okay, Dustin, what did I learn?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I learned that I'd be perfectly fine if we
Speaker 3: never did misconnections ever again. Ever again. No, perfectly fine.
Speaker 2: No, we got to keep it upper management wants.
Speaker 3: But also learned that after a tough week, it's good
Speaker 3: to get together half fun with people.
Speaker 2: So yay.
Speaker 5: Absolutely.
Speaker 2: What I learned today is that Hoover can be himself
Speaker 2: and I really love that you could be yourself and
Speaker 2: you are being yourself more and I and I like
Speaker 2: seeing that more sarcastic Hoover came out today.
Speaker 5: In moments and now I have a genuine appreciation for
Speaker 5: where I am, and I tell people I try not
Speaker 5: to be a persona on the air as much as possible.
Speaker 5: What you get on high noon, what you get when
Speaker 5: I'm calling games. I hope is the well pretty close
Speaker 5: to how I am in everyday life, you know. And
Speaker 5: then if there's stuff that I need to work on,
Speaker 5: Lord willing, I'll keep working on it and by the
Speaker 5: grace of God and try to get a little better
