Ken's Jets Game 7 improbable win, Weekend Recap, Scott Dochterman talks Caitlin Clark · The Lunch Rush with Trent Condon

• 0:00
  All right, good afternoon. Welcome to Miller and Condon on
• 0:03
  a Monday. I wonder if Neil Young got as
• 0:06
  much sleep as I did. Fellow Winnipegger.
• 0:10
  Oh, boy. Welcome to the program.
• 0:13
  Here's what's coming up. We will talk to Scott Dockerman.
• 0:15
  He was a Carver Hawkeye Arena along with 15,000 others or more
• 0:20
  when you include the media to watch the exhibition game
• 0:23
  between the Fever and the Brazilian national women's team.
• 0:26
  We'll talk about that with DACA and other topics coming up here
• 0:29
  at the bottom of our number one, Matt Snyder and his regular spot
• 0:33
  kicks off the second hour of the program.
• 0:35
  He writes on baseball@cbssports.com.
• 0:39
  So we will talk MLB with Matt Snyder's.
• 0:42
  We do every Monday and now with Bussey's moving today, so we'll
• 0:46
  bump him to tomorrow. But took the opportunity to grab
• 0:49
  Tommy Birch, who was, of course, watched Kate Horton pitch
• 0:52
  yesterday. And was Shotay Imanaga seemingly
• 0:55
  pulling a hamstring or somewhere along those lines?
• 0:58
  Was he tried to run the first base to cover first base
• 1:01
  yesterday in Milwaukee? Looks as though he'll be headed
• 1:05
  to the injured list for a period of time.
• 1:07
  Horton is now starting to stretch out a little bit.
• 1:09
  What does this mean? Is he ready or do they turn to
• 1:12
  Chris Flexen, who's, you know, is already up on the roster?
• 1:14
  So Birchie on the potential of Kate Horton getting a call to
• 1:19
  the show. He'll join us here at the bottom
• 1:21
  of our number 2. Trenton will make some picks.
• 1:23
  Couple of NBA games tonight, 1HL game, full slate of Major League
• 1:27
  Baseball and away we go. We'll talk a little bit about
• 1:31
  the Derby at some point. The NBA playoffs and a little
• 1:34
  NHL is both game sevens over the weekend.
• 1:37
  Absolutely phenomenal. I know I say it every year,
• 1:39
  somewhere in this period of time, if you don't love the
• 1:42
  Stanley Cup playoffs at this point, hockey's not for you.
• 1:45
  It's just absolutely amazing. And I don't know if there's a
• 1:49
  sport that elevates the way the NHL.
• 1:51
  There were in this series between the Blues and The Jets,
• 1:55
  630 something hits between the two teams.
• 2:00
  That's amazing. That is as physical as physical
• 2:04
  comes. Seven games, double overtime.
• 2:10
  It's the greatest feeling I've ever had in sports.
• 2:12
  I bet it truly is. I mean, Super Bowl 32 was an
• 2:15
  incredible, but the Manitoba Miracle to me, I don't care.
• 2:18
  I do. I mean, I want them to win.
• 2:20
  But for the city I grew up in, born and raised in, to see those
• 2:25
  people celebrate and that's all they have.
• 2:27
  That's all they have. There's no Hawkeyes, there's no
• 2:30
  Cyclones. The Westman and the Bison do not
• 2:32
  move the needle. Nobody cares.
• 2:33
  Family and friends, girlfriends, boyfriends and that's it.
• 2:37
  If you gave truth serum serum to CFL fans, tell me, be honest.
• 2:43
  Would you rather watch the NFL or the CFL?
• 2:47
  If you gave them the truth serum, 3 or 4 would say I'll
• 2:49
  take Sundays every day of the week.
• 2:50
  It's all we have is hockey and an incredible improbable come
• 2:56
  from behind victory last night. I don't want to bore you folks
• 2:59
  with this, but I got to share it with you because I've never felt
• 3:02
  anything like a trend. I couldn't get sleep.
• 3:04
  It was 315 the last time I looked at the clock.
• 3:06
  I was on Twitter at midnight. I went to bed, I tossed and I
• 3:10
  turned. I got up.
• 3:11
  I didn't know what to do with myself.
• 3:13
  I've never felt like this before, ever.
• 3:15
  That is awesome and that's what I love because I enjoy so much
• 3:20
  seeing the fan in you because you are down the middle for your
• 3:25
  Switzerland. Yes, 30 years as a broadcaster
• 3:27
  here in the state of Iowa, it has been.
• 3:29
  I'm not a Hawkeye. I'm not a psyche.
• 3:31
  Want both of them to win. I don't root, I don't have a
• 3:33
  rooting interest. I just call it as I see it down
• 3:36
  the middle. And yes, we know you're a
• 3:38
  Broncos fan, but your Jets, it is different.
• 3:40
  It is like a lot of us with the Hawkeyes or the Cyclones.
• 3:44
  It is embedded, it is deep. It is part of the fabric of us
• 3:48
  as a person. That's why we're here, no?
• 3:50
  Question. You we love sports, but
• 3:53
  ultimately we love our teams. That's what it is.
• 3:56
  That's why I want to do sports talk in one place in the state
• 4:00
  of Iowa because of my background where I came from and because of
• 4:05
  that to see it from you, Mr. down the middle 5050 to see it
• 4:10
  from Ken Miller. That is what I love and and I
• 4:13
  sent out the tweet last night. I would love to see you.
• 4:15
  I just after it finally went final.
• 4:18
  I left you alone, but you and you alone.
• 4:21
  It came seven in the NBA. You know, I'm a basketball fan.
• 4:25
  We had a game seven of the NBA and I wouldn't flip there even
• 4:29
  during intermission. I wouldn't even flip.
• 4:31
  No, it also helped that it helped that I wasn't close game
• 4:33
  really in the second-half. But still with that, even if
• 4:37
  there was a relatively close game, I might have flipped it on
• 4:39
  my phone, but I wasn't flipping the TVI wasn't because your
• 4:43
  hockey, your team sucked me in that much and to see that play
• 4:47
  out and that fashion, I can't imagine.
• 4:49
  So my first question for you is this.
• 4:53
  My kids know that there's certain things that dad will
• 4:56
  holler at. The TVI get frustrated.
• 4:59
  I will football. I get mad at the Bears.
• 5:01
  I get twins. But the one that sets me off
• 5:04
  more than anything is Iowa basketball.
• 5:06
  That is the one where I will MF. The TVI will be hollering.
• 5:10
  I will be out of my chair. I will be.
• 5:12
  I am a lunatic at times when it comes to Iowa, but that's the
• 5:15
  sport. How are you?
• 5:17
  What are you, a verbal person? Anymore.
• 5:20
  Not anymore. I think that's age and that's my
• 5:22
  wife threatening to leave, as she did many Sundays during the
• 5:27
  this run. So yesterday it was 2, nothing.
• 5:32
  Josh Morrissey, our best defenseman, was hurt.
• 5:35
  I, I, I took Jeff for a walk. I couldn't take it.
• 5:38
  I just needed to get away for a little bit and I was probably
• 5:41
  gone for 20 minutes. Did you hit pause?
• 5:43
  No, I did. No, I did jump back in live.
• 5:46
  Nope, just jump back in live. I just needed I needed to take a
• 5:48
  break. So we did walk the jet and I
• 5:51
  went outside and then came back in and just settled in.
• 5:54
  And you know what the crazy thing is?
• 5:57
  I thought they were when they pulled the goalie, I thought
• 6:00
  they're going to tie this thing up.
• 6:02
  I did. I have this feeling I'm negative
• 6:04
  Nelly. Normally I just had a feeling
• 6:06
  they're going to tie this thing and then they got the first one
• 6:09
  and then just the, you know, all the bad bounces that go, every
• 6:12
  team gets bad bounces with the tying goal.
• 6:16
  Just that this the, the sequence that had to play out the way it
• 6:20
  did in order for them to be able to get that opportunity.
• 6:24
  Nikolai, there's fans on his shot somehow goes to Adam
• 6:27
  Lowery, he passes it back to Eelers.
• 6:30
  He throws it across the ice to Kyle Connor, our, our, our
• 6:33
  sniper who shoots fans on it. He's was aiming at the net, not
• 6:39
  at his teammate Cole Perfetti, who is in front, who got his
• 6:41
  stick on it and it scored with 1.6 seconds left.
• 6:44
  Oh my God, Oh my God, my heart was beating out of its chest.
• 6:49
  And then into overtime in the ebbs and flows.
• 6:51
  Oh my God, the Blues are pressuring.
• 6:53
  Get it out, get it out, get a whistle, get off the ice, all of
• 6:56
  these things. And then for it to, for the
• 6:58
  game, to the goal to go in. What a relief.
• 7:04
  I've, I've, I still can't believe it.
• 7:06
  I still can't believe it. I have no idea how many times
• 7:09
  I've clicked on things on Twitter just to relive it again.
• 7:12
  And I feel the same. But I don't know, 12 hours
• 7:16
  later, whatever it is, just just I'll never forget it.
• 7:18
  I'll never, ever forget it. Those goosebump moments.
• 7:22
  Yes. Yes, it's there reliving it,
• 7:25
  then here in the Canadian feed. Then I heard the radio call it
• 7:28
  just and then I think I saw it was a Russian feed.
• 7:30
  There was some. Oh, was there?
• 7:32
  Yeah. I gotta find that one.
• 7:33
  Yes, it just and to see it because it is it's is it more
• 7:38
  than a Hail Mary? Is it a Hail Mary from like your
• 7:42
  your your own 20? Yeah, especially with being the.
• 7:48
  You're throwing it around. You're fanning.
• 7:50
  Your eyes. Eyes kind of peeking up at that
• 7:51
  clock again. Maybe not again.
• 7:52
  And just and. It comes down to one app.
• 7:56
  This is the last app. This is it.
• 7:58
  Yeah, this is it. And they scored and they
• 7:59
  freaking scored. Never, never, ever.
• 8:04
  Well, I mean, I don't know if I'll feel like that.
• 8:07
  I, I, I can't, but I mean, I don't know, I, this is so new
• 8:10
  for me, but I got to experience it and and look, as I said to my
• 8:15
  wife through tears, because you wonder what was going on here,
• 8:20
  it's hit me again. I've watched thousands of them.
• 8:25
  This is not even close, right, not even close to what this team
• 8:29
  did. ANYWAYS, lots of hockey left to
• 8:33
  be played. It's phenomenal.
• 8:35
  The the the post season, the playoff series is it's such a
• 8:39
  great sport in, in this time of year and I get it.
• 8:42
  People aren't into it because you didn't grow up with it, and
• 8:46
  I think that's a big part of it. If you did grow up with it, you
• 8:49
  probably you'd be into it like like I am, because it's so
• 8:53
  fascinating. One thing that I am finding out
• 8:56
  is a bunch of my buddies have been texting.
• 8:59
  They're Jets fans. Really.
• 9:01
  You've seen it on your Twitter feed.
• 9:02
  We just had a caller call in from Clear Lake.
• 9:04
  Yeah. Said never watch hockey in his
• 9:05
  life. Yeah, he's watching and he's
• 9:07
  cheering for The Jets because of you.
• 9:09
  You got people. I was becoming a little bit of a
• 9:12
  bandwagon here for The Jets because of you, Ken, and people
• 9:15
  I think enjoy watching this and enjoy hearing you come to our
• 9:20
  side of it. It was absolutely incredible
• 9:22
  last night and I can't wait for even more of this one.
• 9:25
  It's it sucked me in. Yeah, now we've looked forward.
• 9:29
  She's like tears run down my face.
• 9:32
  Unreal. You got the stars.
• 9:33
  Yeah, it'll be tough. I mean The Jets are dog in the
• 9:35
  series. My least favorite team 'cause
• 9:37
  they have the real stars. Yeah, they did.
• 9:40
  The Minnesota Stars. So I'm gonna be rooting big time
• 9:43
  for this one. It should be another great.
• 9:45
  Series, I think it will be, I mean, Saturday night for the
• 9:47
  stars to advance. Talk about improbable Jets, I
• 9:49
  mean, and then last night The Jets had stole my beer because
• 9:53
  it was better. And the former Colorado Village
• 9:56
  player Miko Rantnen, who was with them and wanted to be with
• 10:00
  them, and now he's a Dallas * and he single handedly knocked
• 10:03
  his former team out. What a game.
• 10:05
  So you didn't see any of game seven in NBII was kind of
• 10:08
  driving anything. Boy Hope Trenton watched it
• 10:09
  because I got nothing on Game 7 from last night in that.
• 10:12
  Series after the first half, when was it 12 at the half?
• 10:15
  Whatever it was, the Warriors and they just kept him at arm's
• 10:18
  distance. Every time I'd look at the
• 10:19
  score, bring up the score and it just that were compelling enough
• 10:22
  to jump over, it was the buddy healed game.
• 10:24
  I mean, that's how kind of that, yeah, that Game 7.
• 10:27
  Square. Another one of the Steph games.
• 10:29
  Where are we past vintage Steph? There's still gonna be those
• 10:34
  moments, but yeah. I think.
• 10:35
  Do you get 2? What was his thumb in his?
• 10:38
  Thumb is so banged up and it's so swollen and it's got to
• 10:43
  affect him, I would think. Yeah, I don't know.
• 10:46
  I mean, look at here we go, right?
• 10:48
  And the big dogs tonight, both favorites are, I mean.
• 10:51
  Quick turn around. Really quick turn around, but
• 10:54
  they got to get it in. I, I give their soda big chance.
• 10:57
  I do too, I really do. They're do you see the series
• 11:00
  price? No.
• 11:01
  What is it? They're a more prohibitive
• 11:03
  favorite than I would have anticipated because of the
• 11:05
  public money. I think that's going to be
• 11:06
  there. I thought it'd be more in the
• 11:08
  range of T wolves, you know -130 something like that.
• 11:11
  Plus 1:10 on the other side. Now it's T wolves -150.
• 11:14
  Five. Wow, that is it's bigger than I
• 11:16
  thought talking now. Well, we'll see where it goes.
• 11:19
  Let's get John Cannon in here, then we'll bounce around.
• 11:21
  Want to do I do want to spend a few minutes on the well, let's
• 11:25
  let's do it real quickly right now.
• 11:26
  Look it, it was phenomenal television yesterday.
• 11:28
  I mean the event at at Carver Hawkeye.
• 11:30
  Was great, right? It was just, it was great.
• 11:33
  The face of Iowa sports comes comes back home and and the
• 11:38
  place is banged out and well, the magic was that was there
• 11:41
  when she was in her the height of her powers at the University
• 11:45
  of Iowa. It's still there, obviously.
• 11:46
  And for her teammates to be able to share in it.
• 11:49
  It's too bad the level of competition.
• 11:51
  All right, that that's I I'm not expecting a Game 7 or or even a
• 11:55
  regular season game, but it's just too bad that it was more of
• 11:59
  a competitive game. And maybe that was for the best
• 12:02
  because the fever Stephanie White was able to play a bunch
• 12:05
  of gals on that roster and they're really good team by the
• 12:07
  way they are compared to last year.
• 12:09
  You can see, even against an overmatched squad, that there's
• 12:13
  more talent on this Indiana team.
• 12:14
  So my parents were in town this weekend and they wanted me to
• 12:17
  flip on. So we watched the first half of
• 12:18
  the game Saturday, the preseason game.
• 12:20
  Did you? Because they're pretty deep into
• 12:21
  it now and they're in. I just seen Duana Bonner.
• 12:24
  Holy. Yeah.
• 12:25
  We remember last year in Connecticut and when they play
• 12:28
  Connect, especially early, like, oh, yeah, this physical.
• 12:30
  This is a lot more physical than certainly we knew going.
• 12:33
  I love the fact that Bonner came but came to a one.
• 12:36
  Was it? Was it Lexi Haller was down on?
• 12:38
  I think so. I think it was and she was
• 12:40
  having no part of that and she just got right in this other
• 12:42
  gal's face. So that's good that Indiana has
• 12:45
  one of those players this year. But I mean, come on.
• 12:49
  Right The the three that Gala did before she came out of the
• 12:52
  game. It's almost like she had to.
• 12:54
  Yes. Right.
• 12:55
  And you have to hit from the spot.
• 12:57
  Well, and to do it OK, that's incredible.
• 12:59
  It's a 36 footer right on a shot.
• 13:02
  Not a heave right? Not a one hand.
• 13:03
  Chuck No, No. Step into a three and hit it.
• 13:06
  Do it on that side of the floor where the logo yeah is there.
• 13:11
  That sticker is likely gonna be there forever.
• 13:14
  They have to replace it. Did you hear that?
• 13:16
  I didn't know that they had to from time to time.
• 13:18
  They've already had to renew it or replace.
• 13:21
  It just because it. Just gets worn out there, yeah.
• 13:24
  You do it there, do it on national TV, But also it was a
• 13:28
  good basketball play. Yeah, it was a good basketball
• 13:30
  play because you're playing for A2, for one.
• 13:32
  And it also shows you what she has between the years, right,
• 13:35
  that she does that. She's her.
• 13:37
  And Steph Curry, as we just spoke about, are probably the
• 13:39
  only two players in the world that can do that in a game.
• 13:43
  And it not looking an idiot, not look like a bad basketball
• 13:45
  player. Those are the 2.
• 13:48
  She does it in Carver to just cap off.
• 13:51
  Place went bananas, absolutely bananas.
• 13:53
  Looking forward to catching up with Scott Dockerman.
• 13:55
  He'll join us at the bottom of the hour.
• 13:56
  We will get the his thoughts on that and what might happen going
• 14:01
  forward because it sounds like this is what the third one of
• 14:03
  these type of events that have taken place.
• 14:06
  Asia Wilson went home, Angel Reese went home college wise.
• 14:11
  And of course, Caitlin went home yesterday.
• 14:13
  So I'm, I'm guessing we'll see more of this as the league tries
• 14:17
  to expand its boundaries. Why wouldn't it?
• 14:19
  I'm anxious to see the TV number that it did on a Sunday
• 14:22
  afternoon, right middle of the afternoon in early May when
• 14:25
  people are, you know, doing stuff.
• 14:27
  It was a beautiful day in this in this state yesterday and I'm
• 14:31
  guessing it wasn't. It was the same throughout other
• 14:33
  parts of the country. So anxious to see what kind of
• 14:36
  television number it did on the ESPN.
• 14:37
  But they brought the big guns in was named Roko and Ryan Ruko.
• 14:42
  Ruko and Rebecca Lobo and Holly Rowe were there.
• 14:45
  So they brought the big guns in to do the game.
• 14:48
  Let's get John Cannon in here. I'm assuming he wants to talk
• 14:50
  some NBA. Looking forward to doing that
• 14:52
  with him. Hello John, how are you?
• 14:55
  Thank you guys. I'm doing fine.
• 14:57
  And Trent, since you you were kind of keeping an eye on on
• 15:02
  that Warrior game. Did you see Buddy Hields 3 at
• 15:04
  the end of the first half? Yes, that was, I think that's
• 15:07
  basically what I checked out. Was that moment going into
• 15:10
  halftime. Yeah.
• 15:11
  But that's that's, I just thought of that when you were
• 15:13
  talking about Caitlin Clark shot.
• 15:14
  He was a nine of 11 from 3. Yeah, and, and Draymond Green
• 15:20
  took the blame for one of the misses, he said.
• 15:23
  I threw him a grenade and he had he had no chance.
• 15:27
  So, yeah, he, he, you know, I just think Steve Kerr needs to
• 15:32
  start to get his due here. He he is taking players as they
• 15:37
  come into the Warriors orbit and they just play like they haven't
• 15:41
  played anywhere else. We've seen it before.
• 15:43
  And and last night, what he did with Draymond to help Draymond
• 15:50
  decide to be different in Game 7 than he was in Game six.
• 15:54
  He didn't tell Draymond to be different.
• 15:57
  He helped Draymond decide to be different.
• 16:01
  And that's, you know, that's what he does.
• 16:02
  And he, he always talks about communication.
• 16:04
  He gives credit. It was Jerry Stackhouse, who's
• 16:07
  their defensive coach that, that suggested the 48 minute zone,
• 16:13
  which is what helped. You know, it forced the Rockets
• 16:17
  to either shoot 3 pointers or, or go in inside and, and lose.
• 16:21
  And they chose to go inside and lose.
• 16:22
  They the Warriors made more 3 pointers than the Rockets shot
• 16:28
  they had. They had 51 to 18 edge in points
• 16:32
  from three pointers. And that really reminds me of
• 16:35
  the when the Warriors were were new and in 2016 they were doing
• 16:39
  that every game because no one was shooting 3 pointers like
• 16:42
  they were. And so people were walking into
• 16:44
  a game with a 20 point deficit they were going to have on three
• 16:47
  pointers and trying to make it up on other parts.
• 16:49
  You can't, you can't get second chance points or points in the
• 16:52
  paint that are going to make up for 20 or 30 lost points on
• 16:57
  three pointers. So you guys mentioned Curry and
• 17:01
  are we past Pete Curry? We're past getting it all the
• 17:06
  time. But you see these, you know,
• 17:08
  aging superstars, they can still do it.
• 17:11
  That's what makes it so hard for golfers and tennis players.
• 17:13
  So you got to do it six days in a row, four days in a row.
• 17:16
  And it's really hard. But in basketball, if you've
• 17:20
  got, you know, decent players around you, you don't have to do
• 17:23
  it six days in a row. And he go ahead.
• 17:26
  You you saw the schedule that was released by the NBA last
• 17:29
  night, all the second round series.
• 17:32
  Boy, a little break there with the Valkyries home opener.
• 17:35
  Because of that, there's going to be a four day gap between
• 17:38
  these games 5 and really because normally that would have been
• 17:42
  played on Friday night in San Francisco.
• 17:44
  But because of that, they moved it all the way to Sunday.
• 17:48
  And for a older roster that's good for them with Steph, with
• 17:51
  Draymond, but another break for your warriors.
• 17:53
  Just what that those guys need, right?
• 17:55
  Again with green, with green. Valkyries are my favorite team.
• 17:59
  Yes, this week. That is huge, but I agree with
• 18:02
  you guys. This is a tough lift is
• 18:04
  Minnesota team. Oh and by the way, the Minnesota
• 18:09
  Timberwolves are the So there are 15 teams in the West, right?
• 18:13
  Warriors are one of them. The Minnesota Timberwolves are
• 18:17
  the 13th team that the Warriors will face since the Steve Kerr
• 18:22
  era started in playoffs. The only one they have not faced
• 18:27
  is Phoenix. Which is surprising.
• 18:29
  Yeah, it kind of. Is but Phoenix was good when the
• 18:34
  Warriors had that terrible 2 year stretch after everybody
• 18:37
  left and, and all that stuff. But the way, you know, I was
• 18:40
  just, you know, because there was talking about 5, you know,
• 18:43
  they beat the Rockets five Times Now, nobody else more than
• 18:47
  twice, San Antonio twice, New Orleans twice, Memphis twice,
• 18:50
  Oh, Portland three times and then OKC once.
• 18:56
  I mean, everybody remembers it, but it was only once.
• 18:59
  And maybe it'll be twice. Maybe they'll get to play them
• 19:01
  again if they can get past Minnesota.
• 19:03
  But it is going to be tough because Minnesota's got
• 19:06
  everything that the Rockets had plus shooting, plus experience.
• 19:14
  You know, they're they're just they're bigger, you know,
• 19:16
  they're a lot bigger than the Warriors.
• 19:17
  But can can the Warriors keep Rudy off the floor?
• 19:21
  That's what it's going to come down to is he's on the floor.
• 19:23
  They're going to target him. They're going to get him and
• 19:25
  pick and roll actions. And what's that going to look
• 19:27
  like is going to go a long way to returning determining how
• 19:32
  this this is going to go. But I was just really proud of
• 19:34
  this group last night. I mean, I really thought that
• 19:37
  they were going to win. I think that the reason for your
• 19:40
  odds trend games 5:00 and 6:00. I think America lost faith in
• 19:45
  the Warriors during games 5:00 and 6:00.
• 19:48
  And they have, you know, last night was not enough to get him
• 19:50
  back, although they dominated that game.
• 19:52
  I mean, defensively they dominated that game and they
• 19:56
  scored enough to win. Houston got it to win in three
• 19:59
  in the second-half. And then before in a blink it
• 20:02
  was 9 and they just had had the answer every time.
• 20:08
  So. We'll see what happens, but
• 20:11
  it's, it's, I mean, it's not the Winnipeg Jets, but it's kind of
• 20:13
  fun. Thank you, John.
• 20:14
  Appreciate it. We'll talk to you throughout the
• 20:15
  playoffs. Thanks for coming on.
• 20:16
  Right, guys, Thank. You.
• 20:17
  Yep. Good to talk to you.
• 20:19
  Mike's in Waterloo. Hi, Mike.
• 20:21
  Hey, congratulations, Kenny. I know how you felt last night.
• 20:24
  You remember when Iowa State was getting beat by Iowa, how many
• 20:27
  times straight was. I never thought I'd live to see
• 20:33
  another victory by Iowa State football.
• 20:36
  But my boy called, told me last night, you got to call up Kenny
• 20:39
  because he's a he's Mr. Hockey down here in Waterloo, and he
• 20:43
  goes to all these NHLS hockey arenas.
• 20:47
  Yeah, Waterloo, we're in the champion.
• 20:50
  I know. Yeah, I saw that.
• 20:51
  Yeah. SHL.
• 20:51
  Yeah, yeah. And Kenny, are you going to go
• 20:54
  to Edmonton? Are you going to go to one of
• 20:55
  those games? Hockey from Canada?
• 20:58
  You should go because I've been watching Jon Gruden for the
• 21:01
  Blues. I saw that, yeah, he's become a
• 21:03
  Blues fan. He's got all that free stuff
• 21:05
  from the Blues. He was Mr. Hockey for the Blues,
• 21:08
  but you should make it appearance at Edmonton.
• 21:10
  You're a national treasure. I don't know why go to Edmonton?
• 21:12
  It's got to be Winnipeg now. Go to Winnipeg.
• 21:14
  I mean, yeah, Thinking about it, Thinking about it, serious.
• 21:18
  Thinking seriously about it, Mike thinking.
• 21:20
  Seriously. There, Trent could handle the
• 21:22
  shoulder. Hell yeah, he could.
• 21:23
  Absolutely. Hell yeah.
• 21:25
  See, Mike. Thank you, buddy.
• 21:26
  Good to hear from you, Mike. In Waterloo, flights are.
• 21:29
  You're crazy. Probably.
• 21:31
  Holy cow. Yeah.
• 21:32
  It's a little pricey. There's only one airline goes up
• 21:34
  there. So it's this.
• 21:37
  Take it or leave it. You want to fly on Delta?
• 21:40
  You want to drive? Those are your choices.
• 21:42
  Holy crap. That maybe there's like one
• 21:44
  United flight. I don't know.
• 21:45
  It's been a long time, but that's wild.
• 21:47
  Yeah. Yeah, it truly is.
• 21:50
  Well, yeah, no. And shout out to the Blackhawks.
• 21:53
  So used to do a lot with the Blackhawks, with Waterloo.
• 21:56
  Yeah, with my with my radio career was starting.
• 21:58
  We did. We were the whole way.
• 22:00
  Voice of the Waterloo Blackhawks.
• 22:01
  Didn't any old chicks kid play for them?
• 22:02
  I believe that's right. Yeah, I think you did.
• 22:05
  Zach James. You remember that name?
• 22:08
  Zach's living in the Sioux City now and doing work with Bishop
• 22:11
  Heelan. He's there.
• 22:12
  A radio voice over there. Zach said that he's rooting for
• 22:15
  your Jets because of former player played for the Musketeers
• 22:19
  over there in the USHL. Was it pyunk?
• 22:21
  Pyunk, pyunk? He played 46 minutes yesterday.
• 22:24
  Number four, my God, I mean, what a what a, what a game, What
• 22:28
  a just a gutsy, gutsy. I mean, everybody just gassed,
• 22:32
  absolutely gassed. All right, we got keywords
• 22:34
  throughout the afternoon. We're going to give you an
• 22:36
  opportunity. Trent and I will have one here
• 22:38
  coming up momentarily and then another one in the next hour.
• 22:41
  Throughout the afternoon, the drive with Heather and Lucas,
• 22:44
  they will have opportunities again to win $1000.
• 22:47
  This promotion continues on. It is sponsored by our friends
• 22:50
  at Suntan City. We'll get to the keywords in a
• 22:52
  moment, but let's get Andy in here as we clean out the phone
• 22:54
  back before we go to break. Hi, Andy.
• 22:57
  Hey guys, man, NHL preseason games more intense than an NBA
• 23:02
  Game 7. There's intensity, no doubt.
• 23:05
  Yeah, it's guys fighting for roster spots literally when it
• 23:09
  comes to the preseason. So I'll give you that part of
• 23:12
  it, Andy. And then real quick, with the
• 23:14
  peon taking that well, I mean the last shot that got
• 23:16
  deflected. The game winner for Toronto was
• 23:19
  another Sioux City Musketeer and Patch ready.
• 23:22
  Wow, I didn't know he played there, did he?
• 23:24
  Yeah, I didn't know that. Wow.
• 23:27
  And you guys, you guys should go up and do a live broadcast in
• 23:30
  Winnipeg in that whiteout zone they got.
• 23:32
  It's unbelievable from downtown. It's unbelievable.
• 23:36
  Absolutely is. Have a good one.
• 23:37
  Thanks, Andy. I appreciate the call.
• 23:39
  Appreciate. That Molson would probably hit
• 23:41
  me a little hard. You'd have to keep me up, right?
• 23:44
  Or maybe I have to keep you upright if they're winning.
• 23:46
  A big way to move on. Oh.
• 23:47
  My God. Anyways, we will take a time
• 23:49

• 24:08
  Miller and Condon underway on a Monday.
• 24:11
  It's the Iowa sports. All right, good afternoon.
• 24:13
  Welcome to Miller and Condon on a Monday.
• 24:16
  I wonder if Neil Young got as much sleep as I did.
• 24:20
  Fellow Winnipegger. Oh, boy, Welcome to the program.
• 24:25
  Here's what's coming up. We will talk to Scott Dockerman.
• 24:28
  He was a Carver Hawkeye Arena along with 15,000 others or more
• 24:32
  when you include the media to watch the exhibition game
• 24:35
  between the Fever and the Brazilian national women's team.
• 24:38
  We'll talk about that with Doc and other topics coming up here
• 24:41
  at the bottom of our number one, Matt Snyder and his regular spot
• 24:45
  kicks off the second hour of the program.
• 24:47
  He writes on baseball at CBSSports.com, so we will talk
• 24:52
  MLB with Matt Snyder's we do every Monday and Alec Bussey's
• 24:56
  moving today so we'll bump him to tomorrow.
• 24:59
  But took the opportunity to grab Tommy Birch, who was of course
• 25:03
  watched Kate Horton pitch yesterday.
• 25:05
  And with Shotay Imanaga seemingly pulling a hamstring or
• 25:09
  somewhere along those lines was he tried to run the first base
• 25:12
  to cover first base yesterday in Milwaukee.
• 25:15
  Looks as though he'll be headed to the injured list for a period
• 25:19
  of time. Horton is now starting to
• 25:20
  stretch out a little bit. What does this mean?
• 25:22
  Is he ready or do they turn to Chris Flexen, who's, you know,
• 25:25
  is already up on the roster? So Birchie on the potential of
• 25:29
  Kate Horton getting a call to the show.
• 25:31
  He'll join us here at the bottom of our number 2.
• 25:34
  Trenton will make some picks. Couple of NBA games tonight, one
• 25:37
  NHL game, full slate of Major League Baseball and away we go.
• 25:43
  We'll talk a little bit about the Derby at some point.
• 25:45
  The NBA playoffs and a little NHL is both game sevens over the
• 25:48
  weekend. Absolutely phenomenal.
• 25:51
  I know I say it every year, somewhere in this period of
• 25:53
  time, if you don't love the Stanley Cup playoffs at this
• 25:55
  point, hockey's not for you. It's just absolutely amazing.
• 25:59
  And I don't know if there's a sport that elevates the way the
• 26:03
  NHL. There were in this series
• 26:05
  between the Blues and The Jets, 630 something hits between the
• 26:11
  two teams. That's amazing.
• 26:14
  That is as physical as physical comes.
• 26:17
  Seven games, double overtime. It's the greatest feeling of
• 26:23
  airhead in sports. I bet it truly is.
• 26:25
  I mean, Super Bowl 32 was incredible, but the Manitoba
• 26:29
  Miracle, to me, I don't care. I do.
• 26:31
  I mean, I want them to win. But for the city I grew up in,
• 26:35
  born and raised in, to see those people celebrate and that's all
• 26:39
  they have. That's all they have.
• 26:40
  There's no Hawkeyes, there's no Cyclones.
• 26:43
  The Westman and the Bison do not move the needle.
• 26:45
  Nobody cares. Family and friends, girlfriends,
• 26:47
  boyfriends and that's it. If you gave truth serum serum to
• 26:53
  CFL fans, tell me, be honest. Would you rather watch the NFL
• 26:58
  or the CFL? If you gave them the truth
• 27:00
  serum, 3 or 4 would say I'll take Sundays every day of the
• 27:02
  week. It's all we have is hockey and
• 27:06
  an incredible improbable come from behind victory last night.
• 27:10
  I don't want to bore you folks with this, but I got to share it
• 27:13
  with you because I've never felt anything like a trend.
• 27:15
  I couldn't get sleep. It was 315 the last time I
• 27:18
  looked at the clock. I was on Twitter at midnight.
• 27:20
  I went to bed, I tossed and I turned.
• 27:22
  I got up. I didn't know what to do with
• 27:24
  myself. I've never felt like this
• 27:26
  before, ever. That is awesome and that's what
• 27:30
  I love because I enjoy so much seeing the fan in you because
• 27:34
  you are down the middle for your Switzerland.
• 27:37
  Yes. 30 years as a broadcaster here in the state of Iowa, it
• 27:40
  has been I'm not a Hawkeye. I'm not a psyche.
• 27:43
  Want both of them to win. I don't root, I don't have a
• 27:46
  rooting interest. I just call it as I see it down
• 27:49
  the middle. And yes, we know you're a
• 27:50
  Broncos fan, but your Jets, it is different.
• 27:53
  It is like a lot of us with the Hawkeyes or the Cyclones.
• 27:56
  It is embedded, it is deep. It is part of the fabric of us
• 28:00
  as a person. That's why we're here, no?
• 28:03
  Question. You we love sports, but
• 28:05
  ultimately we love our teams. That's what it is.
• 28:09
  That's why I want to do sports talk in one place in the state
• 28:13
  of Iowa because of my background where I came from and because of
• 28:17
  that to see it from you, Mr. down the middle 5050 to see it
• 28:22
  from Ken Miller. That is what I love and and I
• 28:26
  sent out the tweet last night. I would love to see you.
• 28:28
  I just after it finally went final.
• 28:30
  I left you alone, but you and you alone.
• 28:33
  It came seven in the NBA. You know, I'm a basketball fan.
• 28:37
  We had a game seven of the NBA and I wouldn't flip there even
• 28:41
  during intermission. I wouldn't even flip.
• 28:43
  No, it also helped that it helped that I wasn't close game
• 28:45
  really second-half. But still with that, even if
• 28:49
  there was a relatively close game, I might have flipped it on
• 28:52
  my phone, but I wasn't flipping the TVI wasn't because your
• 28:55
  hockey, your team sucked me in that much, and to see that play
• 28:59
  out and that fashion, I can't imagine.
• 29:01
  So my first question for you is this.
• 29:06
  My kids know that there's certain things that dad will
• 29:08
  holler at. The TVI get frustrated.
• 29:11
  Iowa football. I get mad at the Bears.
• 29:13
  I get twins. But the one that sets me off
• 29:17
  more than anything is Iowa basketball.
• 29:19
  That is the one where I will MF. The TVI will be hollering.
• 29:22
  I will be out of my chair. I will be.
• 29:24
  I am a lunatic at times when it comes to Iowa, but that's the
• 29:27
  sport. How are you?
• 29:29
  What are you, a verbal person? Anymore.
• 29:32
  Not anymore. I think that's age and that's my
• 29:34
  wife threatening to leave, as she did many Sundays during the
• 29:39
  Broncos run. So yesterday it was 2, nothing.
• 29:44
  Josh Morrissey, our best defenseman, was hurt.
• 29:48
  I, I, I took Jeff for a walk. I couldn't take it.
• 29:50
  I just needed to get away for a little bit and I was probably
• 29:53
  gone for 20 minutes. Did you hit pause?
• 29:55
  No, I did right back. No, I did jump back in live.
• 29:58
  Nope, just jump back in live. I just needed I needed to take a
• 30:01
  break. So we did walk the jet and I
• 30:04
  went outside and then came back in and just settled in.
• 30:07
  And you know what the crazy thing is?
• 30:10
  I thought they were when they pulled the goalie, I thought
• 30:12
  they're going to tie this thing up.
• 30:14
  I did. I had this feeling I'm negative
• 30:16
  Nelly. Normally I just had a feeling
• 30:18
  they're going to tie this thing and then they got the first one
• 30:21
  and then just the, you know, all the bad bounces that go, every
• 30:24
  team gets bad bounces with the tying goal.
• 30:28
  Just that this the, the sequence that had to play out the way it
• 30:32
  did in order for them to be able to get that opportunity.
• 30:36
  Nikolai, there's fans on his shot somehow goes to Adam
• 30:40
  Lowery, he passes it back to Eelers.
• 30:42
  He throws it across the ice to Kyle Connor, our our, our sniper
• 30:46
  who shoots fans on it. He's was aiming at the net, not
• 30:51
  at his team mate Cole Perfetti, who was in front, who got his
• 30:54
  stick on it and it scored 1.6 seconds left.
• 30:57
  Oh my God, Oh my God, my heart was beating out of its chest and
• 31:01
  then into overtime and the ebbs and flows.
• 31:03
  Oh my God, the Blues are pressuring.
• 31:05
  Get it out, get it out, get a whistle, get off the ice, all of
• 31:08
  these things. And then for it to for the game
• 31:11
  to the goal to go in what a relief I've I've I still can't
• 31:18
  believe it. I still can't believe it.
• 31:19
  I have no idea how many times I've clicked on things on
• 31:22
  Twitter just to relive it again. And I feel the same.
• 31:26
  But I don't know, 12 hours later, whatever it is, just just
• 31:29
  I'll never forget it. I'll never ever forget it.
• 31:32
  Those. Goosebump moments.
• 31:34
  Yes. Yes, it's there reliving it,
• 31:37
  then here in the Canadian feed. Then I heard the radio call it
• 31:41
  just and then I think I saw it was a Russian feed.
• 31:43
  There was some other yeah. I gotta find that one.
• 31:45
  Yes, it just and to see it because it is it's is it more
• 31:50
  than a Hail Mary? Is it a Hail Mary from like your
• 31:55
  your your own 20? Yeah, especially with being the
• 32:00
  and you're throwing it around. You're fanning your eyes.
• 32:03
  Eyes. Kind of peeking up at that clock
• 32:04
  again, maybe not again clock and just just and it comes down to
• 32:07
  one app. This is the last app.
• 32:09
  This is it. Yeah, this is it.
• 32:11
  And they scored and they freaking scored.
• 32:14
  Never, never, ever. Well, I mean, I don't know if
• 32:18
  I'll feel like that. I, I can't, but I mean, I don't
• 32:21
  know, I, this is so new for me, but I got to experience it and
• 32:26
  and look, as I said to my wife through tears because she wonder
• 32:31
  what was going on here, it's hit me again.
• 32:34
  I've watched thousands of them. This is not even close, right,
• 32:39
  not even close to what this team did.
• 32:42
  ANYWAYS, lots of hockey left to be played.
• 32:46
  It's phenomenal. The the the post season, the
• 32:49
  playoff series is it's such a great sport in, in this time of
• 32:53
  year and I get it. People aren't into it because
• 32:56
  you didn't grow up with it, and I think that's a big part of it.
• 32:59
  If you did grow up with it, you probably you'd be into it like
• 33:04
  like I am, because it's so fascinating.
• 33:06
  One thing that I am finding out is a bunch of my buddies have
• 33:10
  been texting they're Jets fans. Really.
• 33:13
  You've seen it on your Twitter feed.
• 33:14
  We just had a caller call in from Clear, Lake said.
• 33:16
  Now watch hockey in his life. Yeah, he's watching and he's
• 33:19
  cheering for The Jets because of you.
• 33:21
  You got people. I was becoming a little bit of a
• 33:24
  bandwagon here for The Jets because of you, Ken, and people
• 33:27
  I think enjoy watching this and enjoy hearing you come to our
• 33:32
  side of it. It was absolutely incredible
• 33:34
  last night and I can't wait for even more of this when it's it
• 33:38
  sucked me in. Yeah, now we've looked forward.
• 33:42
  She's like tears run down my face.
• 33:44
  Unreal. You got the stars.
• 33:46
  Yeah, it'll be tough. I mean The Jets are dog in the
• 33:47
  series. My least favorite team 'cause
• 33:50
  they stole the real stars. Yeah, they did.
• 33:52
  The Minnesota Stars. So I'm going to be rooting big
• 33:55
  time for this one. It should be another great.
• 33:57
  Series, I think it will be, I mean, Saturday night for the
• 33:59
  stars to advance. Talk about improbable Jets, I
• 34:01
  mean, and then last night The Jets had stole my beer because
• 34:05
  it was better. And the former Colorado Village
• 34:09
  player, Miko Rantnen, who was with them and wanted to be with
• 34:12
  them, and now he's a Dallas * and he single handedly knocked
• 34:15
  his former team out. What a game.
• 34:17
  So you didn't see any of game seven in NBII was kind of
• 34:20
  driving anything. Boy hope Trent watched it
• 34:22
  because I got nothing on Game 7 from last night in that series.
• 34:25
  After the first half, when was it 12 at the half, whatever it
• 34:28
  was, the Warriors and they just kept him at arm's distance.
• 34:30
  Every time I'd look at the score, bring up the score and it
• 34:33
  just that were compelling enough to jump over.
• 34:35
  It was the buddy healed game. I mean, that's how it kind of
• 34:38
  got that Game 7. Square.
• 34:40
  Another one of the Steph games. Where are we past vintage Steph?
• 34:45
  There's still going to be those. Moments, but yeah, I think.
• 34:48
  Do you get 2? What was his thumb in the
• 34:50
  series? Thumb is so banged up and it's
• 34:52
  so swollen and it's got to affect him, I would think.
• 34:58
  Yeah, I don't know. I mean, look at here we go,
• 35:00
  right? And they're big dogs tonight.
• 35:02
  Both favorites are I mean. Quick turn around.
• 35:04
  Really quick turn around, but they got to get it in.
• 35:07
  I, I give their soda big chance. I do too, I really do.
• 35:10
  They're do you see the series price?
• 35:13
  No. What is it?
• 35:14
  They're a more prohibitive favorite than I would have
• 35:16
  anticipated because of the public money.
• 35:18
  I think that's going to be there.
• 35:19
  I thought it'd be more in the range of T wolves, you know -130
• 35:23
  something like that. Plus 1:10 on the other side.
• 35:25
  Now it's T wolves -150. Five.
• 35:27
  Wow, that is it's bigger than I thought talking now.
• 35:30
  Well, we'll see where it goes. Let's get John Cannon in here,
• 35:32
  then we'll bounce around. Want to do I do want to spend a
• 35:34
  few minutes on the well, let's let's do it real quickly right
• 35:38
  now. Look it, it was phenomenal
• 35:40
  television yesterday. I mean the event at at Carver
• 35:42
  Hawkeye. Was great, right?
• 35:43
  It was just, it was great. The face of Iowa sports comes
• 35:48
  comes back home and and the place is banged out and the
• 35:52
  magic was that was there when she was in her the height of her
• 35:56
  powers at the University of Iowa.
• 35:57
  It's still there, obviously, and for her team mates to be able to
• 36:00
  share in it. It's too bad the level of
• 36:02
  competition. All right, that that's I I'm not
• 36:05
  expecting a Game 7 or or even a regular season game, but it's
• 36:10
  just too bad that it was more of a competitive game.
• 36:13
  And maybe that was for the best because the fever Stephanie
• 36:16
  White was able to play a bunch of gals on that roster and
• 36:19
  they're really good team by the way they are compared to last
• 36:21
  year. You can see, even against an
• 36:23
  overmatched squad, that there's more talent on this Indiana
• 36:26
  team. So my parents were in town this
• 36:28
  weekend and they wanted me to flip on.
• 36:29
  So we watched the first half of the game Saturday, the preseason
• 36:32
  game. Did you?
• 36:32
  Cuz they're pretty deep into it now and they're in and just
• 36:35
  seeing Dewana Bonner. Holy yeah.
• 36:37
  We remember last year in Connecticut and when they play
• 36:41
  Connect, especially early, like, Oh yeah, this physical, this is
• 36:43
  a lot more physical than certainly we knew going.
• 36:45
  I love the fact that Bonner came, but came to a one.
• 36:48
  Was it? Was it Lexi Holler was down on?
• 36:50
  I think so. I think it was and she was
• 36:52
  having no part of that and she just got right in this other
• 36:54
  girl's face. So that's good that Indiana has
• 36:57
  one of those players this year. But I mean, come on.
• 37:01
  Right. The the the three that Gayla did
• 37:03
  before she came out of the game. It's almost like she had to.
• 37:06
  Yes. Right.
• 37:07
  And you have to hit from the spot.
• 37:09
  Well, and to do it OK, that's incredible.
• 37:12
  It's a 36 footer right on a shot.
• 37:14
  Not a heave right? Not a one hand.
• 37:16
  Chuck No, No. Step into a three and hit it.
• 37:19
  Do it on that side of the floor where the logo yeah is there.
• 37:23
  That sticker is likely going to be there forever.
• 37:26
  They have to replace it. Did you hear that?
• 37:28
  I didn't know that they had to from time to time.
• 37:31
  They've already had to renew it or replace.
• 37:33
  It just because it. Just gets worn out there, yeah.
• 37:36
  You do it there, do it on national TV, but also it was
• 37:40
  good basketball play. It was a good basketball play
• 37:42
  because you're playing for A2 for one.
• 37:44
  And it also shows you what she has between the years, right,
• 37:48
  that she does that. She's her and Steph Curry, as we
• 37:50
  just spoke about, are probably the only two players in the
• 37:53
  world that can do that in a game.
• 37:55
  And it not looking an idiot, not look like a bad basketball
• 37:57
  player. Those are the 2.
• 38:00
  She does it in Carver to just cap off.
• 38:03
  Place went bananas. Yes, absolutely bananas.
• 38:05
  Looking forward to catching up with Scott Dockerman.
• 38:07
  He'll join us at the bottom of the hour.
• 38:08
  We will get the his thoughts on that and what might happen going
• 38:13
  forward because it sounds like this is what the third one of
• 38:15
  these type of events that have taken place.
• 38:18
  Asia Wilson went home. Angel Reese went home college
• 38:23
  wise. And of course, Caitlin went home
• 38:25
  yesterday. So I'm I'm guessing we'll see
• 38:27
  more of this as the league tries to expand its boundaries.
• 38:30
  Why wouldn't it? I'm anxious to see the TV number
• 38:33
  that it did on a Sunday afternoon, right middle of the
• 38:36
  afternoon in early May when people are, you know, doing
• 38:38
  stuff. It was a beautiful day in this
• 38:40
  in this state yesterday. And I'm guessing it wasn't the
• 38:44
  IT was the same throughout other parts of the country.
• 38:46
  So anxious to see what kind of television number it did on
• 38:49
  ESPN. But they brought the big guns in
• 38:51
  was named Roko and Ryan Ruko Ruko and Rebecca Lobo and Holly
• 38:56
  Rowe were there. So they brought the big guns in
• 38:59
  to do the game. Let's get John Cannon in here.
• 39:01
  I'm assuming he wants to talk some NBA.
• 39:03
  Looking forward to doing that with him.
• 39:06
  Hello John, how are you? Thank you guys.
• 39:08
  I'm doing fine. And Trent, since you you were
• 39:12
  kind of keeping an eye on on that Warrior game.
• 39:15
  Did you see Buddy Hields 3 at the end of the first half?
• 39:18
  Yes, that was, I think that's basically what I checked out.
• 39:21
  Was that moment going into halftime.
• 39:22
  Yeah. But that's that's I just thought
• 39:24
  of that when you were talking about Caitlin Clark shot he was.
• 39:26
  A nine of 11 from 3. Yeah, and, and Draymond Green
• 39:32
  took the blame for one of the misses, he said.
• 39:35
  I threw him a grenade and he had he had no chance.
• 39:39
  So, yeah, he, he you know, I just think Steve Kerr needs to
• 39:45
  start to get his do here. He he is taking players as they
• 39:49
  come into the Warriors orbit and they just play like they haven't
• 39:53
  played anywhere else. We've seen it before.
• 39:55
  And and last night, what he did with Draymond to help Draymond
• 40:03
  decide to be different in Game 7 than he was in Game six.
• 40:07
  He didn't tell Draymond to be different.
• 40:10
  He helped Draymond decide to be different and that's, you know,
• 40:14
  that's what he does. And he, he always talks about
• 40:16
  communication. He gives credit.
• 40:18
  It was Jerry Stackhouse, who's their defensive coach that that
• 40:22
  suggested the 48 minute zone, which is what helped.
• 40:27
  You know, it forced the Rockets to either shoot 3 pointers or,
• 40:31
  or go in inside and, and lose. And they chose to go inside and
• 40:34
  lose. They hurt.
• 40:35
  They the Warriors made more 3 pointers than the Rockets shot
• 40:40
  they had. They have 51 to 18 edge in
• 40:44
  points from three pointers. And that really reminds me of
• 40:47
  the when the Warriors were were new and in 2016 they were doing
• 40:51
  that every game because no one was shooting 3 pointers like
• 40:54
  they were. And so people were walking into
• 40:56
  a game with a 20 point deficit they were going to have on three
• 40:59
  pointers and trying to make it up on other parts.
• 41:01
  You can't, you can't get second chance points or points in the
• 41:04
  paint that are going to make up for 20 or 30 lost points on
• 41:09
  three pointers. So you guys mentioned Curry and
• 41:14
  are we past Pete Curry? We're past getting it all the
• 41:18
  time. But you see these, you know,
• 41:20
  aging superstars, they they can still do it.
• 41:23
  They that's what makes it so hard for golfers and tennis
• 41:25
  players. So you got to do it six days in
• 41:27
  a row, four days in a row. And it's really hard.
• 41:30
  But in basketball, if you've got, you know, decent players
• 41:33
  around you, you don't have to do it six days in a row.
• 41:36
  And he go ahead. You you saw the schedule that
• 41:40
  was released by the NBA last night, all the second round
• 41:42
  series. Boy, a little break there with
• 41:45
  the Valkyrie's home opener. Because of that, there's going
• 41:49
  to be a four day gap between these games 5 and really because
• 41:53
  normally that would have been played on Friday night in San
• 41:55
  Francisco. But because of that, they moved
• 41:58
  it all the way to Sunday and for a older roster that's good for
• 42:02
  them with Steph, with Draymond, but another break for your
• 42:05
  warriors. Just what that those guys need,
• 42:07
  right? Again with.
• 42:07
  Green with green. Valkyries are my favorite team.
• 42:11
  Yes, this week. That is huge, but I agree with
• 42:14
  you guys. This is a tough lift is
• 42:16
  Minnesota team. Oh, and by the way, the
• 42:21
  Minnesota Timberwolves are the So there are 15 teams in the
• 42:24
  West, right? Warriors are one of them.
• 42:28
  The Minnesota Timberwolves are the 13th team that the Warriors
• 42:32
  will face since the Steve Kerr era started in playoffs.
• 42:37
  The. Only one they have not faced is
• 42:39
  Phoenix. Which is.
• 42:41
  Surprising. Yeah, it kind of is.
• 42:45
  But Phoenix was good when the Warriors had that terrible 2
• 42:48
  year stretch after everybody left and and all that stuff.
• 42:50
  But the way you know, I was just, you know, because there
• 42:54
  was talking about 5. You know, they beat the Rockets
• 42:56
  five Times Now, nobody else more than twice.
• 43:00
  San Antonio twice, New Orleans twice, Memphis twice, oh,
• 43:03
  Portland three times and then OK C once.
• 43:09
  I mean, everybody remembers it, but it was only once.
• 43:12
  And maybe it'll be twice. Maybe they'll get to play them
• 43:13
  again if they can get past Minnesota.
• 43:15
  But it is going to be tough because Minnesota's got
• 43:18
  everything that the Rockets had plus shooting, plus experience.
• 43:26
  You know, they're they're just they're bigger, you know,
• 43:28
  they're a lot bigger than the Warriors.
• 43:29
  But can can the Warriors keep Rudy off the floor?
• 43:33
  That's what it's going to come down to is he's on the floor.
• 43:35
  They're going to target him. They're going to get him in pick
• 43:37
  and roll actions. And what's that going to look
• 43:40
  like is going to go a long way to determine determining how
• 43:44
  this this is going to go. But I was just really proud of
• 43:46
  this group last night. I mean, I really thought that
• 43:49
  they weren't going to win. I think that the reason for your
• 43:52
  odds trend games 5:00 and 6:00. I think America lost faith in
• 43:58
  the Warriors during games 5:00 and 6:00.
• 44:00
  And they have, you know, last night was not enough to get them
• 44:02
  back, although they dominated that game.
• 44:05
  I mean, defensively they dominated that game and they
• 44:08
  scored enough to win. Houston got it to win in three
• 44:11
  in the second-half and then before in a blink it was 9 and
• 44:16
  they just had had the answer every time.
• 44:20
  So we'll see what happens, but it's, it's, I mean, it's not the
• 44:24
  Winnipeg Jets, but it's kind of fun.
• 44:26
  Thank you, John. Appreciate it.
• 44:27
  We'll talk to you throughout the playoffs.
• 44:28
  Thanks for coming. Alright guys, thank.
• 44:29
  You. Yep.
• 44:30
  Good to talk to you. Mike's in Waterloo.
• 44:32
  Hi, Mike. Hey, congratulations, Kenny.
• 44:35
  I know how you felt last night. You remember when Iowa State was
• 44:38
  getting beat by Iowa? How many times straight was 9?
• 44:42
  11. 12 I never thought I'd live to see another victory by Iowa
• 44:46
  State football, but my boy called, told me last night, you
• 44:50
  got to call up Kenny because he's a he's Mr. Hockey down here
• 44:54
  in Waterloo and he goes to all these NHLS hockey arenas.
• 44:59
  Yeah, Waterloo, we're in the champion.
• 45:02
  I know. Yeah, I saw that.
• 45:03
  Yeah. SHL.
• 45:04
  Yeah, yeah. And Kenny, are you going to go
• 45:06
  to Edmonton? Are you going to go to one of
• 45:08
  those games? Hockey from Canada?
• 45:10
  You should go because I've been watching Jon Gruden for the
• 45:13
  Blues. I saw that, yeah, he's become a
• 45:15
  Blues fan. He's got all that free stuff
• 45:17
  from the Blues. He was Mr. Hockey for the Blues,
• 45:20
  but you should make it appearance at Edmonton.
• 45:22
  You're a national treasure. I don't know why I'd go to
• 45:24
  Edmonton. It's got to be Winnipeg.
• 45:26
  Now go to Winnipeg. I mean, yeah, thinking about it,
• 45:29
  thinking about it, serious. Thinking seriously about it,
• 45:31
  Mike thinking. Seriously.
• 45:33
  There, Trent could handle the shoulder.
• 45:34
  Hell yeah, he could. Absolutely Hell yeah.
• 45:37
  See Mike. Thank you, buddy.
• 45:38
  Good to hear from you. Mike in Waterloo.
• 45:41
  Flights are you're. Crazy.
• 45:43
  Probably. Holy cow.
• 45:44
  Yeah, it's a little pricey. There's only one airline goes up
• 45:46
  there. So this, Take it or leave it.
• 45:50
  You want to fly on Delta? You want to drive?
• 45:52
  Those are your choices. Holy crap, that maybe there's
• 45:56
  like one United flight. I don't know.
• 45:58
  It's been a long time, but that's wild.
• 46:00
  Yeah, it truly is. Well, yeah, no.
• 46:04
  And shout out to the Blackhawks. So used to do a lot with the
• 46:07
  Blackhawks with Waterloo, didn't you?
• 46:08
  With my with my radio career was.
• 46:10
  Starting. We did.
• 46:11
  We were the whole way. Voice of the Waterloo
• 46:13
  Blackhawks. Didn't any old chicks kid play
• 46:14
  for them? I believe that's right.
• 46:16
  Yeah, I think he did. Zach James, You remember that
• 46:19
  name? Zach's living in the Sioux City
• 46:22
  now and doing work with Bishop Heal and he's there.
• 46:24
  A radio voice over there. Zach said that he's rooting for
• 46:27
  your Jets because of former player played for the Musketeers
• 46:31
  over there in the USHL. Was it pyunk?
• 46:33
  Pyunk, pyunk? He played 46 minutes yesterday.
• 46:37
  Number four, my God, I mean, what a what a, what a game, What
• 46:40

  Kentucky Derby came and went, the highest rate of television

  wise since 1989, which was, that's so weird surprising.
• 48:45
  It absolutely was. I think there was 140,000 people
• 48:48
  there in pouring rain. So any.
• 48:51
  Reason. No, I have no idea.
• 48:52
  There was no super horse. No, there was no, not that kind
• 48:55
  of. I'm with you.
• 48:57
  I was surprised. It was rainy here.
• 49:00
  Was it rainy across the country? Wasn't there some kind of front
• 49:02
  coming through? Maybe.
• 49:03
  Maybe it was just a cold Saturday before the Churchill.
• 49:06
  I got my brains beat in. Yeah, I think so.
• 49:10
  I had 4 shares. I take two of them.
• 49:12
  My friend Leon Emmons, I don't think he minds for the Derby.
• 49:15
  And then I, I, I there's one guy that took the treatment.
• 49:20
  Yeah. And I let him.
• 49:21
  He says to me, this is the only bet I made.
• 49:23
  I can't go cold Turkey half. And he's been doing it for
• 49:26
  years. As far as I know, it's the only
• 49:27
  time he bets, the only time he bets with me.
• 49:30
  Our shares were $156. We just got back 24.
• 49:35
  Yeah, hit the exact. But we need long shots if we're
• 49:39
  going to win. But, you know, the good news is
• 49:40
  we had four years without putting any more money in.
• 49:43
  When we hit that big exact. You were close.
• 49:45
  I almost hit the superfecta. I saw that I was one horse off
• 49:49
  again. I'm throwing darts.
• 49:50
  I have absolutely no cool. There's no handicapping behind
• 49:52
  it. Oh, kind of like that.
• 49:53
  Oh, I see a spig figure. I look at Andy Byers speed
• 49:56
  numbers. That's that's the extent of it
• 49:58
  all foreign. Yes.
• 49:59
  Flipped it on earlier day. I told you my parents were in
• 50:02
  town. Flipped it on and we bet on one
• 50:03
  of the races a little bit early. My mom's like, oh, well, you
• 50:06
  just, you can do it right there. I'm like, yeah, you just bet
• 50:08
  right here. It's all legal.
• 50:10
  And so they took a fire and a couple of horses, but we had
• 50:13
  absolutely no return on, I don't know, probably $50.00 of bets
• 50:17
  altogether, something like that. I always give my kids a couple
• 50:20
  bucks, teach them a ticket, but they got to go to that Piggy
• 50:22
  Bank. Need that 2.
• 50:23
  Dollars got to pay if you lose. You learned that lesson as a
• 50:26
  kid. Oh, that I did.
• 50:27
  Lafesta, Rhodes and me and my first ever bet.
• 50:30
  Nice. 50 some points later and an overtime loss as Iowa falls
• 50:34
  to Iowa State didn't have the $5 to pay.
• 50:37
  My dad's buddy Tom and dad said when we got home, I'll pay it up
• 50:41
  front. You're gonna be 6 though when we
• 50:43
  get home. Made you pay a little interest
• 50:46
  a. Little bit extra.
• 50:48
  That's good parenting, right? There Absolutely.
• 50:50
  Learning what big is. Learned a lot of lessons that
• 50:53
  day, but then I learned down the line.
• 50:55
  We went to Waterloo to the horse or the breakout track, and on
• 50:58
  the way back they're a little light for gas money.
• 51:02
  It came to be because I had a winning ticket.
• 51:03
  There a little like. I said, just like dad, when we
• 51:06
  get home, we're going to owe me a little bit extra.
• 51:08
  I love that, the grown-ups. It was back that we're going
• 51:12
  through small towns, cutting through, and you can't write a
• 51:15
  check here. No, there's of course no cards.
• 51:17
  Right? A what?
• 51:18
  1987? Yeah.
• 51:20
  Right, I'm ready to check. Hour 2 is coming up.
