What&#8217;s next, having Grok write your jokes? Actually, yes, that&#8217;s exactly what some of the crew at Altitude Sports Radio did on Tuesday as they continued to mock Timberwolves podcaster\/reporter Dane Moore, while even taking a cheap shot at longtime Vikings announcer Paul Allen.  <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6l\">Here&#8217;s a snippet of a chat between Darren McKee, former Broncos lineman Tyler Polumbus, and someone who appears to be their producer after Denver defeated Minnesota to force a Game 6 Thursday night in Minneapolis. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6o\">McKee: What&#8217;s his name, Dane Cook?

Dane Moore. The only person who&#8217;s a worse broadcaster than Paul Allen in Minnesota is Dane Moore. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"73\">Producer: More like Dumb Moore. <\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DaneMooreNBA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@DaneMooreNBA<\/a> they think you are a broadcaster and some of them seem to think you are Dane Cook? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mj1IRL9N9g\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/mj1IRL9N9g<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 K\ud83d\udc41\ud83c\udf32\ud83d\udc3a\ud83c\udf32 (@Kgformvp211) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Kgformvp211\/status\/2049203187928678512?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">April 28, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"79\">They all giggled, except Scott Hastings, who pleaded with them to stay classy, like little kids talking about poop. But that clip doesn&#8217;t include the further cheap shots they took at Allen, which is in the online podcast.  <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7c\">McKee: Paul Allen is unbelievably overrated.

So it&#8217;s 10,000+ lakes, mosquito apocalypse, and losing games. Except for a stray Twins championship, they don&#8217;t do anything but lose in Minnesota. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-17\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7u\">Polumbus: Yeah, definitely don&#8217;t have 10,000 championships, do they?<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-18\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7x\">McKee: Ho-ho-ho-ho. 10,000 losses.  <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-19\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"80\">At that point, Polumbus began reading AI-generated insults, including calling Minnesotans &#8220;pasty Scandinavian rejects.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">So I thought I would give Altitude sports a listen and basically it\u2019s like giving 8th graders a microphone. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/55dl5sUVHJ\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/55dl5sUVHJ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 K\ud83d\udc41\ud83c\udf32\ud83d\udc3a\ud83c\udf32 (@Kgformvp211) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Kgformvp211\/status\/2049203921143447812?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">April 28, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-21\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"86\">The funny guys in Denver were piggybacking on the vitriol stemming from a social media feud that began last week after another Altitude Sports Radio host <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nba\/timberwolves\/onsi\/denver-radio-guys-get-their-answer-after-criticizing-minnesota-media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">criticized Timberwolves reporters<\/a> for not begging Jaden McDaniels to provide specifics about why he thinks everyone on the Nuggets is a bad defender. That prompted Moore to call them &#8220;stupid f****,&#8221; which then led to another member of the Denver radio team <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nba\/timberwolves\/onsi\/denver-radio-host-calls-out-wolves-podcaster-rips-minnesotans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">threatening to confront Moore face-to-face<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-22\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"89\">All in all, this is a media feud that began when the Nuggets&#8217; hometown radio jocks, who weren&#8217;t at the game in Denver, criticized the line of questioning from Minnesota reporters who traveled to the Mile High City for the games earlier in the series.  <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-23\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8c\">And good luck getting this situation to simmer down. It&#8217;s good attention for a radio station, regardless of how silly they look, and even after the Wolves-Nuggets series concludes, there&#8217;s a chance that the second round of the NHL playoffs will feature the Minnesota Wild against the Colorado Avalanche. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-24\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8f\">Strap in, because the insults might only be just beginning. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\" class=\"shrink-0\"\/>Add us as a preferred source on Google<a aria-label=\"Follow si.com on Google News\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=si.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"flex h-[30px] w-[30px] shrink-0 items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-primary font-group-large text-sm font-medium text-white transition-colors hover:bg-secondary focus:bg-secondary md:w-auto md:gap-2.5 md:px-4 md:py-[5px]\">Follow<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shock jocks have been stirring the pot for ages, so it shouldn&#8217;t come as a surprise that a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":639158,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[64,63,134,136],"class_list":["post-639157","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/639157","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=639157"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/639157\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/639158"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=639157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=639157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=639157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
