0:00.0	This is the day and a fourth quarter.
0:14.0	This is the Dane Moore MBA podcast.
0:16.3	We're brought to you by prize picks coming at you Friday morning.
0:18.9	It's December 20th after the Wolves 133 to
0:22.1	107 loss to Carl Anthony Towns in the New York Knicks. And this is going to be a weird one to talk
0:28.3	about. It wasn't just a cat revenge game where they, where he beat the wolves. That would be easy
0:35.2	to talk about. I think that was certainly a plausible
0:38.5	outcome to that game. But the wolves got punked. And when the wolves have lost bad this year
0:46.4	gotten punked, it's felt messy. And I would imagine kind of scary for fans in a way. That's kind of a vibe
0:53.6	I was getting last night kind of scary for fans in a way. That's kind of a vibe I was getting last night.

1:21.2	I got Kyle Taigie here with me up early on the West Coast after staying up late for the TNT game.
1:30.8	How are we doing, Kyle uh we're doing better than the 15 or so guys in that locker room that's for sure uh i think it's i mean
1:37.0	we're gonna this is i'm excited for this pod and not because it's going to be glass half full
1:41.0	or any of that stuff um but i think it's another one of those kind of
1:44.4	i prefer when things like i like confrontation i prefer rawness you know i don't i don't
1:51.5	think sugar-coating things or kicking your shit down the road is good and i think all issues
1:57.8	of this whole situation which has been really good and can still be fixed, but all issues
2:03.2	were on full display last night for three hours on national TV and then post game and in
