Barreiro Conversations

We continue our Kevin Garnett Appreciation Week with Fred Hoiberg. Freddy was a late-summer addition to the 2004 Western Conference Finals team and talked about coming to Minnesota, what it was like playing with KG, Sam and Spree and reflected on being in the front office when KG was traded.

With the news that former Vikings head coach Jerry Burns has died we went into the archives to find his final in-studio appearance with Dan Barreiro from a few years ago. Dan and Burnsie went through his football life, coaching with Vince Lombardi, Bud Grant and many more. They also reviewed Burnsie's epic postgame rant and had him listen back to it!

Sam Mitchell was on the team when the Timberwolves drafted Kevin Garnett. He talked with Dan Barreiro about his role as a mentor for a young KG and what stood out about him as a young player. Dan and Sam also talk about the Stephon Marbury "What If" scenario that still haunts Wolves fan to this day.

With Kevin Garnett entering the Hall of Fame this week we try to visit with as many people as we can that closely followed or were a part of his career. First up: Trent Tucker, whose first year broadcasting Wolves games was KG's rookie year.

Craig Kilborn joins Dan Barreiro for another wide-ranging conversation about the Wolves, what he thinks about the A-Rod era and of course movies and music. Always fun when Craig takes time to join!

Dan is joined by former Minneapolis Mayor Sharon Sayles Belton for another impactful conversation about Daunte Wright, the Derek Chauvin trial and the issues that remain in Minneapolis and beyond.

15 years after Holy Cross shocked the Gophers in the NCAA Hockey Tournament Dan caught up with the student play-by-play voice of the Crusaders Craig Lowell to share some memories of the game and the weekend. Very fun conversation!

Dan Barreiro is joined by new New Mexico Head Coach Richard Pitino to talk about his new job, his time in Minnesota and how much he will miss the State Fair!

Olympic Champion Scott Hamilton joins Dan Barreiro on the 60th anniversary of the tragic plane accident that rocked U.S Figure Skating. Dan and Scott discuss that team and their impact to this day on U.S. Figure Skating and also talked about Scott's tremendous career and accomplishments.

We catch up with Craig Kilborn for the first time in a few months. Craig and Dan talk Wolves (he loves Jaden McDaniels and Jaylen Nowell), the Vikings and they also go deep on some music talk. Always fun to have Craig on the show!
