To make your dreams come true, sometimes you have to jump through hoops. Or, in Kris Atteberry's case, you have to call play-by-play of an elderly maniac's slalom through a flaming hoop while he catches on fire and sets the Sioux Falls Canaries' field ablaze. After all, that caused a delay in the game, and Atteberry also had to fill the time as the Birds' play-by-play man in 1999. Over a quarter-century later, he's in "the show" as the radio voice of the Minnesota Twins, and he experienced a delay in getting there, filling the time as the man on the mic for the St. Paul Saints — the Savannah Bananas before the Savannah Bananas — and then 17 seasons as the backup play-by-play Twins voice. Atteberry tells several hilarious stories that marked that time, how he dealt with not getting "the call" to become the main man the first time around 12 years ago, and what it is like now to finally live the dream alongside Twins legend Dan Gladden every day. Toward the end, a dive into how the Twins have turned their tepid and at times terrible season, at least for now.

Before that, it's another Wolves Playoffs Pow Wow with John Gaskins & Jon Oppold from Sunny's Pizzeria, this time following the Game 4 win to take a 3-1 series lead over Golden State.

Just win, baby? Or do the Timberwolves need to show more in this NBA Playoff series against the wounded Warriors to show they're title-worthy?

USF men's basketball Chris Johnson, a Twin Cities native and die-hard Wolves fan, joins the mix to strip down what the Wolves are crushing and what they keep doing that could crush them — either in Game 5 or in the next round.

In other words, are the screws tight enough to beat a team like Oklahoma City or Denver at full strength?

Plus, more on the latest performances from Anthony Edwards, Julius Randle and their supporting cast.
