Introduction: Host Michael Rand wrote about how few innings Twins starters have thrown in 2022, making him wistful for 2019.

He's the nephew of music mega-star John Legend, and Brown-Stephens tells some great stories about his relationship with his uncle (and how he accidentally broke one of Legend's Grammy Award trophies). 23:00: Gophers writer Randy Johnson joins the show to set up Saturday's game against Purdue, which would push the No. 21-ranked Gophers to a 5-0 record. Can they slow down Purdue's passing attack? 34:00: A defensive schism to watch with the Vikings?
