0:00.0	This is the Dane Moore MBA podcast brought to you by Blue Wire podcast.
0:18.2	Come at you Thursday afternoon.
0:20.6	It's 1.30 p.m. as we sit down to record this,
0:25.6	as Britt, you just told me, you woke up. What would that be? 10 hours ago to start writing
0:31.1	a column off of last night's loss by the wolves to the Atlanta Hawks in Atlanta. It was a very interesting
0:41.8	night. And before we even started talking about this before I hit record, you referred to

2:07.7	And yet, you know, I just don't think we have at a stage both league-wide among referees, among fellow NBA personnel,
2:24.8	and among the Wolves fan base. I just don't think there is enough appreciation for what's going
