Transcription

Chapter 1: What is the significance of bringing out the big dog?

0.031 - 3.779 Unknown

Once in a while, we have to bring out the big dog.

0

4.019 - 4.721 Danny Klinkscale

Yeah.

0

5.422 - 17.787 Unknown

25.04 - 33.7 Soren Petro

Hour number two of the program begins right now. A little Danny Unleashed with Danny Klinkscale here on a Friday. Danny, how are you?

0

33.95 - 37.073 Danny Klinkscale

Doing good. Matt Beisler. As my wife would say when we watch.

37.114 - 37.974 Soren Petro

Matt Beisler.

37.994 - 57.236 Danny Klinkscale

Yeah, Matt Beisler. When we watch a movie or something and there's a guy on the screen who's, you know, really dashing or handsome or whatever, I'll turn to her and go, that dude's really struggling. And she'll go, oh, yeah, Matt Beisler is really struggling.

57.296 - 58.157 Soren Petro

He looks terrible.

58.197 - 60.219 Danny Klinkscale

I don't know what's happened to him since he stopped playing.

Chapter 2: How does Danny Klinkscale reflect on Matt Beisler's career?

108.235 - 128.908 Soren Petro

And then a couple more guys did. He said it became a thing where like, OK, everybody's going to do this. And he talked about how terrified he was to jump. I'll make him tell it again one of these days. But, you know, he finally went and he said it got down to where there were just two guys that hadn't gone. And they waited and waited and waited.

0

129.349 - 157.266 Soren Petro

And it was finally like, listen, everybody's got to do it. And then they... They finally did it. And he said that was like a great bonding team building moment. But when he told that story, that podcast he does with Nate is great. And I sat in my car listening to the finish of that story. To my peril, I will add. Personal peril. Yeah, to hear the end of that because it was great.

0

157.547 - 158.188 Soren Petro

It was a great story.

0

158.548 - 168.123 Unknown

I'm imagining him thinking, all right, there's two. All right, there's four. There came a point where he's like, all right, this needs to stop. Come on, don't go.

0

168.263 - 190.734 Danny Klinkscale

Reminds me about when I went parasailing in Mexico. I was laying on the beach. It looked like great fun, you know. But I was afraid. Up there, I'm thinking to myself, what if a big bird flies through the kite? You're toast. So I'm thinking of all these things. Finally, so I'm sitting there, and I'm like, boy, I want to do it.

190.754 - 194.399 Soren Petro

Fortunately, there aren't a lot of kamikaze birds. You're right, thankfully.

194.76 - 206.956 Danny Klinkscale

I want to do it. Finally, after about three hours, two 10-year-old boys consecutively went up, and I said, okay, I can do it. This is only a few years ago.

207.056 - 208.418 Soren Petro

And when you got up there.

208.438 - 211.822 Danny Klinkscale

It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. I'll tell anybody.

Chapter 3: What bonding experience did the World Cup team have at Stanford?

267.524 - 271.772 Danny Klinkscale

This one, you just took three or four running steps on the beach and jumped in the air and then whoop.

0

272.14 - 278.311 Soren Petro

Are you sitting on anything, or are you just hanging in a harness? You're in a harness. By yourself or with another person?

0

278.331 - 298.166 Danny Klinkscale

No, by yourself. Yeah. Wow. And I've done it subsequently, and I just love it. Now, it seems like they're getting a little cheaper. I think I would estimate my first ride was probably 25 minutes, and I think the last time I went it felt more like 11. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. But do it. Don't be afraid. Just do it.

0

298.206 - 308.88 Unknown

I mean, it's quiet, and you just feel so free. Just being in my only trip in a hot air balloon, the quietness is the thing you're not prepared for.

0

308.9 - 312.224 Soren Petro

I'm not sure I'm down for that either. It was really cool.

312.244 - 318.092 Unknown

I can highly recommend it. Somewhere in Olathe, we'll end up landing in the field to the west of the old mall.

318.112 - 322.198 Soren Petro

By the way, just that part of it, we end up flying. Like the uncertainty.

322.339 - 332.821 Unknown

It was a set. It was a spot. It was a set spot. We're going down there. People were waiting for us. And it was amazing. But the thing you're not prepared for is how freaking quiet it is. But it's really cool.

333.001 - 339.374 Danny Klinkscale

Yeah, this is I've done both. And I would say it's probably eight times better than a hot air balloon.

Chapter 4: What personal fears does the host share about adventurous activities?

439.224 - 459.148 Soren Petro

They offer full replacements. Some companies don't do repairs. They offer repairs. Some companies just push that full replacement because it's more dollars for their pocketbook. Not the case. Lots of hail. going through Kansas City this year. Free storm damage inspections. You can get it with the Easton Roofing. Filing that claim is important.

Danny, how about these Royals?

0

487.617 - 500.979 Soren Petro

Suboptimal. Yeah. Are you... Is the year done? Are you where I got to with the completion of the sweep at the hands of the Red Sox that this is not going to be a playoff year? Are you convinced of that the way I am?

0

500.999 - 512.699 Danny Klinkscale

I'm close. I will be covering the game on Sunday. If they don't take two out of three against the Mariners, I might be about there because the Yankees are coming to follow.

0

513.199 - 513.54

And...

514.229 - 530.427 Danny Klinkscale

But 20 and 30, the state of the league, I could see 84 wins being a playoff. I heard David Lesky, and he talked about what it would take to get to 86. I think 84 might get you in the playoffs. That's still, what, 60?

530.447 - 531.428 Soren Petro

64 and 48.

531.448 - 557.04 Danny Klinkscale

64 and 48, which I don't think the team is capable of, but it's slightly under 600 balls. So I wouldn't say it's impossible. It's like 95 on base. So I'm not completely on the out, but 50 games have given us no evidence this team can play 16 games over 500 baseball the rest of the year. And that's to squeak in, perhaps. It could be more.

557.32 - 558.021 Soren Petro

What did we miss?

Chapter 5: What insights are shared about the Kansas City Royals' current season?

1474.541 - 1477.324 Unknown

Yes. This is according to ESPN's media.

0

1477.384 - 1479.166 Danny Klinkscale

Yeah, I don't think Johnny Most ever did any.

0

1479.586 - 1482.609 Soren Petro

Yeah, he didn't do any. That's why I wasn't thinking in terms of him.

0

1482.629 - 1507.222 Danny Klinkscale

Johnny Most didn't do anything except the Celtics. You know what his side gig at one time was? He worked at the same radio station I did. When my first job out of college, he did a talk show on Monday, and the news director used to have to drive him home because he used to drink a whole bottle of scotch during his one-hour show.

0

1508.743 - 1509.184 Soren Petro

Good man.

1510.566 - 1518.075 Danny Klinkscale

And this is like a, I don't know, thousand-watt radio station. It was the first place I worked.

1518.395 - 1519.617 Soren Petro

I was on the air all the time.

1519.937 - 1543.784 Danny Klinkscale

If you didn't like Danny, I did. Morning, I did a midday drive, you know, nine to one DJ. I was an afternoon newsman. I had a talk show and I did all the games. Sometimes I was on the air from nine in the morning to whenever the game ended. So it's like, boy, I don't like that clink scale. Well, you don't like WMRC then. I'm the only one on.

1544.145 - 1549.714 Unknown

Except for Johnny Moe's for an hour a week. So those are people out there who can't handle you for an hour a week.

Chapter 6: How do injuries impact the performance of the Royals this season?

1819.625 - 1831.184 Soren Petro

And my frustration is that they, you know, he came back last year and they didn't do anything. Right. Now it's like, well, he was coming off the knee injury. Oh, well, now he's coming off another surgery.

0

1831.244 - 1833.047 Danny Klinkscale

And I heard you talking about this.

0

1833.196 - 1835.44 Unknown

where he's going to rehab in jail. In jail.

0

1835.56 - 1857.342 Danny Klinkscale

Well, no, no bueno. I know firsthand. I ruptured my patellar tendon. It's a worse injury than an ACL. But for insurance purposes, they only allowed me 20 physical therapy sessions. So I spread them out, and it wasn't enough. And my knee has never been the same. I'm not a professional athlete.

0

1857.362 - 1882.114 Danny Klinkscale

Secondly, the instructions they gave me to rehab this knee injury properly would have taken me between five and six hours per day. Obviously, I was a working man. You don't have the time, even if you're serious about it. I was serious about it. Still, that's the type of effort that I'm sure Patrick Mahomes is putting in to rehab his injury. That ain't happening in jail. No way.

1882.374 - 1900.398 Danny Klinkscale

You don't have the facilities. You don't have anybody else pushing you. That's the thing about rehab. Somebody, even the most diligent person, is not going to stretch the scar tissue, bend their knee in a way that's uncomfortable. First of all, they can't do it usually. Somebody else has to be doing it.

1900.538 - 1907.828 Unknown

Anyone who saw quarterback and saw what Mahomes had to do in those weeks after he's had that high ankle sprain. And to your point from the other day.

1907.848 - 1921.965 Danny Klinkscale

You can't do that by yourself. your body heals in a way to make you comfortable, not to make you a fine-tuned athlete. That's what my knee did to this day. I walk, my leg will not straighten all the way.

1922.646 - 1937.905 Danny Klinkscale

And using personal examples is silly, but I'm just telling you that even in this dumb personal example, my knee has never been able to be completely straightened because I couldn't slash didn't do the rehab to the full extent. He's in jail. He can't. There's so many reasons.
