<v Speaker 2>he'll get an even bigger head. But they say sloppy

14
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:35.600
<v Speaker 2>handwriting is a sign of intelligence in the sloppy or

15
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:36.880
<v Speaker 2>it is the more intelligent you are.

16
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:41.119

<v Speaker 2>Oh, I thought you were going to do this disclaimer first.

23
00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:59.159
<v Speaker 1>I was going to Oh that's right, I was just

24
00:00:59.240 --> 00:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>hit that.

25
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:03.159
<v Speaker 4>One in there, folks before we dive in, Just a

26
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.480
<v Speaker 4>friendly reminder that Beer Belly Sports is a podcast, not

27
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:10.359
<v Speaker 4>a mensa meeting. They're not CNN ESPN, not your mom's

28
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:13.159
<v Speaker 4>book club, and they're definitely not to be trusted with

29
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:16.560
<v Speaker 4>an intelligent thought. They're here for laughs, beer and a

30
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:21.120
<v Speaker 4>good time, not pulid surprises or perfect stats. The opinions,

31
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:23.719
<v Speaker 4>hot takes, and wild predictions you're about to hear are

32
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.920
<v Speaker 4>strictly their own and possibly influenced by whatever was on

33
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:29.680
<v Speaker 4>tap earlier in the day. If you should take anything

34
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:33.000
<v Speaker 4>that they say too seriously, that's on you, Bubba. So

35
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:36.239
<v Speaker 4>crack a cold one, sit on back, and remember. It's

36
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:40.519

38
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:48.359
<v Speaker 4>kept them out of the really good schools. Everybody, please

39
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:50.239
<v Speaker 4>just take a breath and we'll begin.

00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:37.199
<v Speaker 2>of like a stadium rock song.

67
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:38.959
<v Speaker 1>That's what I was trying to go with in that one,

68
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:42.319
<v Speaker 1>and it felt good. A little long, but it's it

69
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:44.079
<v Speaker 1>was actually shorter than the original.

70
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:47.720
<v Speaker 2>Wow, you could have about halved it because intro.

71
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:50.160

72
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:51.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I know it was good.

73
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:54.959

86
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:25.319
<v Speaker 3>There wasn't a like a disclaimer at the beginning.

87
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:27.519
<v Speaker 2>Matt loves chat GPT.

88
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.600
<v Speaker 3>It's our friend in some ways, no doubt.

89
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:32.000
<v Speaker 2>It's Matt's friend of me.

90
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:33.360

00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Thanks Bruce Dynamite.

94
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:41.120
<v Speaker 3>Well see you kind of killed it for me. Then

95
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:42.439
<v Speaker 3>I thought you had somebody.

96
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:45.160
<v Speaker 7>For you.

97
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:47.079
<v Speaker 3>That was sweet.

98
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:48.360
<v Speaker 2>We're not that special.

99
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:52.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you can do a lot with that stuff nowadays.

100
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:56.000
<v Speaker 2>We had to add to the disclaimer because one of

101
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Matt's friends took exception to us joking one night about

102
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:02.839
<v Speaker 2>an event that happened between them.

103
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's weird.

104
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:08.839
<v Speaker 3>Were you air and dirty laundry or something?

105
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:11.279
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, no, No names were mentioned, no kings

106
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:14.639
<v Speaker 1>were mentioned, nothing. It just happened. The person knows something

107
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:16.079
<v Speaker 1>some other stuff.

108
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:18.399
<v Speaker 2>They knew the inside joke we were making.

109
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:21.639
<v Speaker 3>Well, I think that I feel safeer saying anything now

110
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:24.279
<v Speaker 3>because there's been a disclaimer. So thank you for doing that.

111
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:25.319
<v Speaker 1>You're welcome. We're here.

112
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:27.319
<v Speaker 3>I think we're covered legally to say anything we want.

113
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:31.399
<v Speaker 1>Thanks Brooks, Thanks Persy looking out for us. All right,

114
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:32.879
<v Speaker 1>So anyways, Yeah, we have a great show for you

115
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:35.920
<v Speaker 1>guys today. We're not gonna there's it's a dead time

116
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:38.560
<v Speaker 1>of year where not a lot of happening. I mean

117
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:39.480
<v Speaker 1>there is, but there isn't.

118
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:42.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean the high highlight of the sports world I

119
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:45.560
<v Speaker 2>saw yesterday with Shadur Sanders being named of the Pro

120
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Bowl and he didn't do anything to deserve it.

121
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:49.439
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

122
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:52.160
<v Speaker 2>Really Yeah, he's an injury replacement.

123
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:57.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we're all like sixteen of the other quarterbacks unavailable

124
00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:59.519
<v Speaker 3>in the AFC or what I mean.

125
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:03.879
<v Speaker 2>I kind of like that, kind of like Tyler Hunley

126
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:06.560
<v Speaker 2>making it a couple of years ago and had played

127
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:10.279
<v Speaker 2>three or four games backup quarterback for the Ravens.

128
00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:12.360
<v Speaker 4>So J J.

129
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:15.000
<v Speaker 3>McCarthy was like honorable mention. Then for the Pro Bowl,

130
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:17.720
<v Speaker 3>I mean Sanders does it?

131
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:21.560
<v Speaker 2>I heard the PERSONA nine got qualified?

132
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:26.879
<v Speaker 1>Really interesting?

133
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:27.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh.

134
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:31.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Sarcasm Aiden by the way says we we we.

135
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:34.680
<v Speaker 1>You can tell that's my son who can't type.

136
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:37.800
<v Speaker 2>You know, he said we it was supposed to be.

137
00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:39.040
<v Speaker 2>When did you stop the video?

138
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:42.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, I'm still trying to work it out where

139
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:44.879
<v Speaker 1>I can do this live stream and do video.

140
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:47.319
<v Speaker 2>You're asking a lot of your people don't have to

141
00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:47.759
<v Speaker 2>see us.

142
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:51.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, even better, you're fine. I got a face for

143
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:53.959
<v Speaker 3>a radio man when they made the Beaver Radio Network

144
00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:55.959
<v Speaker 3>go on streaming and people had to see me. I

145
00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:57.920
<v Speaker 3>actually had to dress up boo.

146
00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:00.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I always say like I'm two pretty for radio,

147
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:02.120
<v Speaker 1>but not pretty enough for TV. I'm in that weird

148
00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:02.800
<v Speaker 1>gray area.

149
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:05.680
<v Speaker 2>You're weird there in the streaming.

150
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, streaming. That's even better.

151
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:09.600
<v Speaker 3>Perfect for the streaming world.

152
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:10.439
<v Speaker 1>Even better.

153
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.759
<v Speaker 2>You know what makes that better is anybody can have

154
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:15.680
<v Speaker 2>a podcast, so it's not that special.

155
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:19.399
<v Speaker 3>And apparently they can all have a theme song with

156
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:20.839
<v Speaker 3>yad GPT Yeah boom.

157
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:24.199
<v Speaker 2>There's so many times where Matt says something and dust

158
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:26.519
<v Speaker 2>dustin and I are like, that sounds way too smart

159
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:27.079
<v Speaker 2>to be Matt.

160
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:31.759
<v Speaker 1>Really, that's what Google's for too, that's it does really

161
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:34.320
<v Speaker 1>well for me. So I mean, I'm gonna pull back

162
00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:36.480
<v Speaker 1>the curtain here, like doing wrestling, they pull back the

163
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:39.519
<v Speaker 1>curtain and real facts. If you're seeing thing on social

164
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:42.360
<v Speaker 1>media looks like no way, like really typed out, really

165
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:44.919
<v Speaker 1>like good example is uh ma.

166
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:48.120
<v Speaker 2>Better SPC a commercial last week that was pretty good.

167
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Uh yeah that was Yeah, that was wrote that one.

168
00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:54.639
<v Speaker 1>But like we do better edge when they tried to

169
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:56.679
<v Speaker 1>do our picks and stuff, that's all he I do.

170
00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:59.000
<v Speaker 1>It does all f dont time. I just feel like

171
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:00.639
<v Speaker 1>what what we all did ours?

172
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:03.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, certainly streamlining some things, yeah, no doubt.

173
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:07.759
<v Speaker 2>But so you can tell when Matt just has chat

174
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:12.320
<v Speaker 2>GPT created graphic though too, because the graphic itself has

175
00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:16.720
<v Speaker 2>some errors and stuff. Little like the one time he

176
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.039
<v Speaker 2>had the timberwolves on there and it said like no

177
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:22.480
<v Speaker 2>timber wolf wolves or something.

178
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:25.480
<v Speaker 3>There was some Yeah, you go you gotta you can't

179
00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:26.240
<v Speaker 3>just use it.

180
00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:29.799
<v Speaker 1>And edit it.

181
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:34.080
<v Speaker 2>Read proof reading and Matt don't.

182
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Go to no. Yeah, we all learned this.

183
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:39.960
<v Speaker 3>Chat GPT does not get right.

184
00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:43.480
<v Speaker 2>So it's scary, Like we were talking about it at work.

185
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:46.320
<v Speaker 2>I work for the county in the assessor's office, and

186
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:51.720
<v Speaker 2>just how how it's trickling into the day to day

187
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:54.200
<v Speaker 2>business interactions, which I'm sure you're going to be running

188
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:58.200
<v Speaker 2>into to what you do. Just you know, like, how

189
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:02.200
<v Speaker 2>do you tell what's real and what's like, especially like

190
00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:04.840
<v Speaker 2>AI videos and stuff now and defects and stuff. And

191
00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:07.159
<v Speaker 2>it's just it's getting scary to the point where you

192
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:10.240
<v Speaker 2>watch videos, you know, like we talk about it. You know,

193
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:12.759
<v Speaker 2>you see something on Facebook or TikTok or whatever, it's like,

194
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:14.519
<v Speaker 2>is it real or is it AI?

195
00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:16.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's hard to tell the difference.

196
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:23.159
<v Speaker 2>Some of them are so realistic looking, but as opposed

197
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:23.399
<v Speaker 2>to I.

198
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:25.360
<v Speaker 3>Mean, you look at how graphics and you know, all

199
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:27.919
<v Speaker 3>the technology has progressed through the times. I mean, it

200
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:30.440
<v Speaker 3>was so fake looking when they first started doing these

201
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:33.440
<v Speaker 3>special effects, and now you can't tell the difference.

202
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:38.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, even just a video game. I remember, granted this

203
00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:40.679
<v Speaker 2>was ten years ago at that point, so the graphics

204
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:43.879
<v Speaker 2>have gotten even better now. But my grandpa came over

205
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:48.559
<v Speaker 2>to my parents' house and I was playing Madden's Oh

206
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:50.480
<v Speaker 2>I didn't realize there was a football game on today.

207
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:57.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's pretty pretty cool. I mean, I mean I'm

208
00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:59.960
<v Speaker 3>old enough that I remember Pong where it all starts

209
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:02.120
<v Speaker 3>in television, and.

210
00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:04.360
<v Speaker 2>I did all of those eight bit graphics.

211
00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:07.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and you know whatever, Atari, Sega, Genesis, you go

212
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:10.519
<v Speaker 3>down the list. But man, I mean we were happy

213
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:13.399
<v Speaker 3>with that. I mean, Pong was an exciting thing because

214
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:15.320
<v Speaker 3>you know, you don't have anything else, And now it's

215
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:17.679
<v Speaker 3>just like, wow, I'm almost glad this stuff wasn't around

216
00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:19.360
<v Speaker 3>when I was a kid, because I probably went to

217
00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:20.559
<v Speaker 3>have left the basement.

218
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:25.120
<v Speaker 2>I saw something interesting last week or so that was

219
00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:27.639
<v Speaker 2>talking about the difference of video games from when we

220
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:31.519
<v Speaker 2>were kids versus the games now that our kids play,

221
00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:38.279
<v Speaker 2>and just how it's crafted and fed into like people's

222
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:41.360
<v Speaker 2>addictive tendencies and stuff like when we were playing Mario

223
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:43.840
<v Speaker 2>growing up, you got three lives and if you died,

224
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:46.960
<v Speaker 2>it was game over, right, And now it's just open

225
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:51.919
<v Speaker 2>world yeah and never ending. Yeah, there's not the you

226
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:56.240
<v Speaker 2>have to step one, step two and progress through the

227
00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:59.120
<v Speaker 2>level and complete goals and steps and stuff like that.

228
00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:04.399
<v Speaker 2>Now it's paid pay to get different perks, and just

229
00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:06.720
<v Speaker 2>how that's morphed and whatnot now.

230
00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:08.960
<v Speaker 3>Too, well of those lego games my kids. I would

231
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:10.759
<v Speaker 3>play them because they were awesome because when you died,

232
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:12.039
<v Speaker 3>you didn't have to go all the way back to

233
00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:15.519
<v Speaker 3>the beginning, to the check. Yeah, but again, it just

234
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:17.480
<v Speaker 3>seemed to go on from like does this ever end?

235
00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:19.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean there has to be an end point, right,

236
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:22.480
<v Speaker 3>Like I played Skyrim and I never did get to

237
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:24.120
<v Speaker 3>the end. I mean, I don't know if there is

238
00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:26.240
<v Speaker 3>an end, because it felt like I was nowhere near

239
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:28.679
<v Speaker 3>remotely close to the end and I played for like

240
00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:29.759
<v Speaker 3>seven months.

241
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:34.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh there's we've so back. When Ashley was still living

242
00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:36.919
<v Speaker 2>here and she found out that I played Red Dead,

243
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:39.200
<v Speaker 2>She's like, did you beat it yet? And I was like, no,

244
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:42.080
<v Speaker 2>I get sidetracked. Played Oh I.

245
00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:43.039
<v Speaker 3>Did finish that one.

246
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:45.480
<v Speaker 1>I did too, and she told me the the end

247
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:46.879
<v Speaker 1>of it. I'm like, don't tell it.

248
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:50.120
<v Speaker 3>Why are you telling me, Daylert, What are you doing?

249
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:52.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, I just played all this time, and

250
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:53.519
<v Speaker 3>you're gonna just ruin it for me.

251
00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:57.240
<v Speaker 2>What even like Assassin's Creed or Grand Theft Auto, you

252
00:12:57.320 --> 00:13:02.879
<v Speaker 2>can spend hours just looking around and yeah, anyways, why

253
00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:03.600
<v Speaker 2>don't we get into it?

<v Speaker 1>You could do a live read.

319
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:01.799
<v Speaker 3>I get asked to say service availability depends upon location.

320
00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:04.759
<v Speaker 3>Some re tricktions apply a lot, sure do. We don't

321
00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:07.840
<v Speaker 3>use that as much anymore because we're you know, we're

322
00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:10.519
<v Speaker 3>you have to be in obviously connected to our fiber

323
00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:14.440
<v Speaker 3>network to get our services. So yeah, no, we're you know,

324
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:17.360
<v Speaker 3>we're rocking and rolling with the gigazone, our al fiber

325
00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:20.120
<v Speaker 3>optic network. Internet speeds up to ten gig pretty much.

326
00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:22.600
<v Speaker 3>You know, Internet for the way you live, right, I mean,

327
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:25.840
<v Speaker 3>anybody can do anything with this stuff now. Perfect for

328
00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:30.279
<v Speaker 3>streaming video, great for working from home, all those things.

329
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:31.919
<v Speaker 3>You can do them all at once when you've got

330
00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:35.759
<v Speaker 3>the bigazone. So we're going to be expanding again this year.

331
00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:39.000
<v Speaker 3>We actually just turned down the city of Bov. We

332
00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:42.720
<v Speaker 3>expanded there last summer and that network is now operational

333
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:43.679
<v Speaker 3>as of last week.

334
00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:46.080
<v Speaker 2>You guys extended it all the way into Buel, didn't you.

335
00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:47.840
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, yeah, we're in Buell.

336
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:51.279
<v Speaker 1>It's not it's because of the Wine Range over here.

337
00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:51.600
<v Speaker 1>We are.

338
00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:54.360
<v Speaker 3>We were way up the Iron Range, but it's because

339
00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:56.879
<v Speaker 3>of how funding works. We don't necessarily just build exactly

340
00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:00.279
<v Speaker 3>right down the road. But yeah, Cole Rain and Ov,

341
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:03.759
<v Speaker 3>who we actually had kind of surrounded with where we

342
00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:07.640
<v Speaker 3>had expanded previously, those two towns were included. And then

343
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:10.039
<v Speaker 3>up the Iron Range show we did a bunch of

344
00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:14.720
<v Speaker 3>townships by Britt and Cook and yeah, we serve the

345
00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:17.920
<v Speaker 3>city of Buell. And so next year, I'm not quite

346
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:19.599
<v Speaker 3>sure where we're are This year, I should say, right,

347
00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:21.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm not quite sure where we're headed. But we'll know

348
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:24.559
<v Speaker 3>probably within the next couple of months. And from what

349
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:26.599
<v Speaker 3>I understand, it's gonna be another three thousand and four

350
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:28.920
<v Speaker 3>thousand homes that are we're going to pass.

351
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:31.759
<v Speaker 2>Is it seeming like more towards Strowhead.

352
00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:35.880
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's definitely going towards the east. So we also

353
00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:37.839
<v Speaker 3>serve parts of Akin County now, so I think some

354
00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:39.839
<v Speaker 3>of central Acin County is going to be a part

355
00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:42.279
<v Speaker 3>of it. And then up again up in the rural

356
00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:44.640
<v Speaker 3>Cook area. There's a lot of people who don't have anything,

357
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:48.759
<v Speaker 3>you know, to rely on where. Yeah, so that area,

358
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:50.799
<v Speaker 3>which is crazy to me because when I started the

359
00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:53.400
<v Speaker 3>furthest east we served was Deer River. So when I

360
00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:56.400
<v Speaker 3>was going to our eastern most point, it was what

361
00:17:56.759 --> 00:17:59.680
<v Speaker 3>a half hour forty five minutes, and now it's like

362
00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:03.880
<v Speaker 3>two and half hours. So we we've expanded dramatically in

363
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:04.880
<v Speaker 3>the last thirty years.

364
00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:08.880
<v Speaker 2>So shameless, selfless plug here if you ever find yourself

365
00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:09.519
<v Speaker 2>up and Cook.

366
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:12.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they have no McDonald's anymore, but no, damn it.

367
00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:15.680
<v Speaker 2>There's a restaurant on the lake called the land Now.

368
00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:16.839
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's good to know.

369
00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:18.720
<v Speaker 2>Delicious landing.

370
00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:23.240
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Well, and you know, we we've spent more time

371
00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:25.359
<v Speaker 3>in some of these areas now, so that that's I

372
00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:28.359
<v Speaker 3>appreciate the tip because yeah, well we had actually planned

373
00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:30.599
<v Speaker 3>on I don't go to McDonald's much, but we had

374
00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:32.359
<v Speaker 3>a meeting there and we had we had a half

375
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:34.759
<v Speaker 3>hour and I'm like, well, let's just go to McDonald's

376
00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:36.960
<v Speaker 3>and eat something and come back. And we went there

377
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:40.599
<v Speaker 3>and it was it was closed them the beginning of

378
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:43.440
<v Speaker 3>the end really because it hadn't officially been shut down yet.

379
00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:45.720
<v Speaker 3>It was just closed because they couldn't find people to work.

380
00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:49.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean that happened so anyway, other things probably combined

381
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:53.759
<v Speaker 3>for that. But anyway, so well good because I'm like, well, boy,

382
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:55.920
<v Speaker 3>that's a big loss for the people in that area, right,

383
00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:57.720
<v Speaker 3>I mean there's limited options as is.

384
00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:00.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so we used to go up Snowobiling, aur Oun,

385
00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:03.359
<v Speaker 2>Crane Leak and Vermillion stuff all the time growing up.

386
00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:08.079
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, it's right on Crean and yeah it's the Landing,

387
00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:09.440
<v Speaker 2>very good food.

388
00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:12.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah that's a cool area. So yeah, we're going further

389
00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:16.720
<v Speaker 3>up the range. We serve Nashwalk, Key Wotten, Marble, Calumet.

390
00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:22.359
<v Speaker 2>And is that all just internet or is it phone TV? Internet?

391
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:22.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

392
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:26.200
<v Speaker 3>All tho it just depends we've really stopped offering television

393
00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:28.880
<v Speaker 3>service and expansion areas a couple of years ago, mainly

394
00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:31.039
<v Speaker 3>because it's a lot more expensive for us to be

395
00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:33.279
<v Speaker 3>able to provide that service and it doesn't make us

396
00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:36.880
<v Speaker 3>any profit. It's a break even service, so basically a

397
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:39.160
<v Speaker 3>service to our members at this point. And so like

398
00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:41.680
<v Speaker 3>Bolvy and Coleraine don't get the option of Paul Butan

399
00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:44.079
<v Speaker 3>and television, so they get the option of everything else,

400
00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:47.440
<v Speaker 3>including our voice services. But more importantly, the gigazone, which

401
00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:50.880
<v Speaker 3>will help you stream or even like our direct TV,

402
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:53.880
<v Speaker 3>doesn't require satellite dish anymore. It's all Internet based. So

403
00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:55.720
<v Speaker 3>if you've got the gigazone, that's going to give you

404
00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:58.160
<v Speaker 3>everything you need to do whatever you want, streaming, gaming,

405
00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:01.920
<v Speaker 3>and all at once. So yeah, we're kind of getting

406
00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:04.720
<v Speaker 3>away from offering TV and expansion aaries for a few reasons,

407
00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:08.000
<v Speaker 3>but one in cook it's hard to get there in

408
00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:10.359
<v Speaker 3>two hours to solve their problems, and TV has a

409
00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:13.880
<v Speaker 3>lot more potential for issues set top boxes and all

410
00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:17.039
<v Speaker 3>of that, where internet and phone and voice services rarely

411
00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:19.480
<v Speaker 3>have issues, and a lot of the time we can

412
00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:21.920
<v Speaker 3>resolve those issues without having to travel out and go

413
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:25.599
<v Speaker 3>to a customer's location. So yeah, so TV is available

414
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:28.680
<v Speaker 3>in some areas, but not all of our cooperative membership territory.

415
00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:32.519
<v Speaker 3>So that's kind of the only service we don't offer

416
00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:34.319
<v Speaker 3>throughout our network to everyone.

417
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:37.039
<v Speaker 1>How far south you guys go, We go to.

418
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:41.640
<v Speaker 3>Almost Blueberry Pines down by Park Rapids. We don't serve

419
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:44.359
<v Speaker 3>the city of Park Rapids because they have three providers already,

420
00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:46.000
<v Speaker 3>and again we're trying to get to people who don't

421
00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:49.000
<v Speaker 3>have a reliable option at all, and so we serve

422
00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:51.839
<v Speaker 3>a lot of the rural areas around Park Rapids. We

423
00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:55.559
<v Speaker 3>go down to just outside the city limits of Walker,

424
00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:58.880
<v Speaker 3>so we serve Benedict and Laporte and have perfect actually

425
00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:04.640
<v Speaker 3>fun fact, Laporte was one of our two original exchanges

426
00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:08.240
<v Speaker 3>that started the cooperative back in nineteen fifty two. Laporte

427
00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:10.519
<v Speaker 3>was one of them. The other was Kellyer, which has

428
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:14.640
<v Speaker 3>always confused me because those two places are nowhere near

429
00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:17.200
<v Speaker 3>each other, and if they didn't have phone service, how

430
00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:21.640
<v Speaker 3>did they coordinate this all, you know, telegrams back and forth.

431
00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:24.559
<v Speaker 2>I remember you talked about that a year or so

432
00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:26.240
<v Speaker 2>ago when you were on here, and it just like

433
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:28.319
<v Speaker 2>Bomigie kind of made since is the midpoint.

434
00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:30.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's why we that's why our office is in Bamigi.

435
00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:33.119
<v Speaker 3>We did not serve the city of Bamidge with our

436
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:36.720
<v Speaker 3>network until nineteen ninety nine, so people forget that, but

437
00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:39.880
<v Speaker 3>we always have been in Bamigi from an office perspective.

438
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:42.519
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, Well, in nineteen ninety eight, when I first started,

439
00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:46.440
<v Speaker 3>they it was a monopoly and they deregulated the so

440
00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:49.359
<v Speaker 3>anybody could expand, and so Paul Bunyan was one of

441
00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:52.200
<v Speaker 3>the first to expand. And when I started, I was

442
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:55.200
<v Speaker 3>the thirty sixth employee and we had about three thousand members.

443
00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:58.119
<v Speaker 3>Today we have one hundred and sixty five employees and

444
00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:02.400
<v Speaker 3>serve over thirty seven thousand and members. Yeah, pretty crazy

445
00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:06.960
<v Speaker 3>ride I've been on with all my cohorts that the cooperative,

446
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:09.680
<v Speaker 3>that have all contributed through the years. But I think

447
00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:13.960
<v Speaker 3>that's a testament to the forward thinking leadership that we've

448
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:15.759
<v Speaker 3>had all these years to put in a fiber network

449
00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:17.079
<v Speaker 3>long before anybody else did.

450
00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:17.559
<v Speaker 5>So.

451
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:21.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure you're tired of talking about this at this point,

452
00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:24.880
<v Speaker 2>but how did June affect the network?

453
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:26.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, No, I'm not tired about talking about it's actually

454
00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:29.599
<v Speaker 3>we got breaking rights because everything we have is underground,

455
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:34.559
<v Speaker 3>and the only thing that impacted us was power. So

456
00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:36.559
<v Speaker 3>if our equipment out in the field, you know, we've

457
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:38.759
<v Speaker 3>got buildings that serve a region out in the field,

458
00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:41.519
<v Speaker 3>if that lost power, our services would go down. So

459
00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:43.759
<v Speaker 3>we spent a lot of that time not repairing anything

460
00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:46.920
<v Speaker 3>because we didn't have any damage to our network, but

461
00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:50.920
<v Speaker 3>keeping generators filled with gasoline so that the services could

462
00:22:50.920 --> 00:22:53.160
<v Speaker 3>be continued. And of course people's homes if they don't

463
00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:55.839
<v Speaker 3>have power, our stuff's not going to work. So the

464
00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:58.960
<v Speaker 3>network really never did go down, only if there was

465
00:22:59.079 --> 00:23:01.799
<v Speaker 3>power issues, whether our power issues or the customers.

466
00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:06.319
<v Speaker 2>Because now like voice, that's all voiceover Internet correct, there's

467
00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:08.079
<v Speaker 2>not too many copper wires left in.

468
00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:11.039
<v Speaker 3>Arts is all fiber. But it depends, you know, if

469
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:13.720
<v Speaker 3>you're not without power. Remember your traditional phone would still

470
00:23:13.720 --> 00:23:15.240
<v Speaker 3>work if you plugged it into the wall, but if

471
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:18.279
<v Speaker 3>it's power based, it won't. There was a little electrical

472
00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:20.880
<v Speaker 3>current back in the old days that was common, you know,

473
00:23:20.920 --> 00:23:23.359
<v Speaker 3>you plugged it into the wall. And now you got

474
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:25.599
<v Speaker 3>you know, cordless phones and things, but those are power based,

475
00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:28.240
<v Speaker 3>so they aren't going to work. I have a landline

476
00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:30.400
<v Speaker 3>telephone in my house for that very purpose. I can

477
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:32.319
<v Speaker 3>plug it into the jack if the power's out, and

478
00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:33.640
<v Speaker 3>use it as a landline.

479
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:36.039
<v Speaker 2>So because that was what I was getting at, because

480
00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:37.960
<v Speaker 2>I had a lot of people that were like, well,

481
00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:41.039
<v Speaker 2>with voiceover internet, if there's no power, I don't.

482
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:43.440
<v Speaker 3>Have correct if you have that type of technology. But

483
00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:45.400
<v Speaker 3>of course we were first a telephone company, and so

484
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:48.359
<v Speaker 3>even though it's delivered over fiber, those phones I think

485
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:50.880
<v Speaker 3>will still work. There's a power element inside your house

486
00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:54.000
<v Speaker 3>that we already provide you. So I guess I can't

487
00:23:54.039 --> 00:23:55.920
<v Speaker 3>speak to that because I did not plug my phone

488
00:23:55.960 --> 00:24:00.799
<v Speaker 3>in June twenty first, but yeah, that would impact whether

489
00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:02.920
<v Speaker 3>your phone service have plugged it into the wall and work.

490
00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:04.920
<v Speaker 3>That used to be you know, claim to fame in

491
00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:07.279
<v Speaker 3>the fifties, sixties and seventies, when your powers out, your

492
00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:11.160
<v Speaker 3>phone still works. But then you know, cordless phones deal

493
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:13.200
<v Speaker 3>with power, and so they will work.

494
00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:16.839
<v Speaker 2>I actually added a home phone back to my house.

495
00:24:16.960 --> 00:24:19.119
<v Speaker 2>It did just because I got my kids are getting

496
00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:21.480
<v Speaker 2>old enough now where they can be home alone.

497
00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:21.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

498
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:26.559
<v Speaker 2>Just yeah, that way they have a way to you know,

499
00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:28.559
<v Speaker 2>call me or their mom, or their grandma and grandpa,

500
00:24:28.599 --> 00:24:30.279
<v Speaker 2>or emergency services if needed.

501
00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and.

502
00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:35.279
<v Speaker 2>You're hearing more and more people that are bringing landlines back.

503
00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:37.799
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know, it's been an interesting ride in that

504
00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:40.000
<v Speaker 3>regard because when I first started, that was our main business.

505
00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:43.400
<v Speaker 3>It was landline phone service, cell service. Bag phones were

506
00:24:43.440 --> 00:24:46.839
<v Speaker 3>just coming around, but right those work, Wow, those are

507
00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:50.200
<v Speaker 3>the best cell phones. But then you know, the coverage

508
00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:51.640
<v Speaker 3>wasn't good. You know, it took a long time for

509
00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:53.960
<v Speaker 3>them to build out the network. So landline phone service

510
00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:56.440
<v Speaker 3>certainly hung on, but we saw the writing on the

511
00:24:56.480 --> 00:24:59.119
<v Speaker 3>wall once that portability and all the other things you

512
00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:01.799
<v Speaker 3>can do now with you're basically computer in your hand,

513
00:25:02.839 --> 00:25:05.039
<v Speaker 3>that we were not going to be able to you know,

514
00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:09.279
<v Speaker 3>make that what we're all about. And that's where kind

515
00:25:09.319 --> 00:25:11.599
<v Speaker 3>of we could see the Internet coming, the shift to that,

516
00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:13.759
<v Speaker 3>how can we deliver it faster? How can we be

517
00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:16.279
<v Speaker 3>prepared for whatever may come along, And that's where you know,

518
00:25:16.319 --> 00:25:19.839
<v Speaker 3>all this fiber optics stuff came in, because fiber optics

519
00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:21.880
<v Speaker 3>was a part of our network back I think starting

520
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:23.960
<v Speaker 3>in the late sixties early seventies, but it was only

521
00:25:24.039 --> 00:25:27.279
<v Speaker 3>used to transport major traffic back and forth. It wasn't

522
00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:29.960
<v Speaker 3>up to your home. And so when they finally got

523
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:31.480
<v Speaker 3>it up to people's homes, then you have to have

524
00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:33.680
<v Speaker 3>all the technology to be able to deliver these services,

525
00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:35.599
<v Speaker 3>and that took a few years. So we were one

526
00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:38.920
<v Speaker 3>of the first to implement it, and but it was

527
00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:41.519
<v Speaker 3>pretty well vetted because we didn't run into too many

528
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:46.000
<v Speaker 3>issues with any surprises. The biggest surprise I think was

529
00:25:46.039 --> 00:25:48.920
<v Speaker 3>when we first tested it in the winter time, you know,

530
00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:54.720
<v Speaker 3>underground in Minnesota winter, and we had some issues and

531
00:25:55.359 --> 00:25:57.599
<v Speaker 3>it actually turned out to just be bad fiber optics.

532
00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:00.359
<v Speaker 3>Nothing wrong with the network. It just the glass was

533
00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:04.519
<v Speaker 3>not properly put together or whatever. So some learning pains,

534
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:06.160
<v Speaker 3>but not a lot, not as many as I thought

535
00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:08.599
<v Speaker 3>we would given we were out front of this. We

536
00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:10.400
<v Speaker 3>had no one to call to say, hey, how do

537
00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:12.720
<v Speaker 3>you do this? Does this work for you? Or why

538
00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:13.960
<v Speaker 3>is this not working for us?

539
00:26:14.079 --> 00:26:15.119
<v Speaker 2>Especially in a rural set.

540
00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:17.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, good love, that's it. And you know, for a

541
00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:20.839
<v Speaker 3>rural setting, it's been a huge bonus because before with

542
00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:24.759
<v Speaker 3>even still today with the copper, they've extended the ability

543
00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:26.599
<v Speaker 3>of it, but it wasn't made for this stuff, and

544
00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:28.480
<v Speaker 3>so you can only push it so far before you

545
00:26:28.599 --> 00:26:30.720
<v Speaker 3>have to have equipment out in the field, which for

546
00:26:31.160 --> 00:26:34.200
<v Speaker 3>TV was a mile. We had to have equipment every

547
00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:36.799
<v Speaker 3>mile from somebody's home if you wanted to provide them

548
00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:40.119
<v Speaker 3>TV service over copper cable and you put in fiber

549
00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:43.839
<v Speaker 3>and that becomes ten miles. So well, fiber is more

550
00:26:43.880 --> 00:26:44.720
<v Speaker 3>expensive to put in.

551
00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:47.720
<v Speaker 1>The ground, and the amount expensive to fix to.

552
00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:50.079
<v Speaker 3>The equipment that we would have had to pay for

553
00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:52.640
<v Speaker 3>to stay on copper, we would have spent just as

554
00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:56.839
<v Speaker 3>much money had had a certainly a more outdated network now.

555
00:26:56.880 --> 00:26:59.519
<v Speaker 1>Granted, most companies nowadays they get rid of the copper

556
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:02.799
<v Speaker 1>when I locate. When we get someone was like, I'm

557
00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:03.920
<v Speaker 1>want to throw them out of the buck, so don't

558
00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:08.000
<v Speaker 1>give a shit about them. But Frontier up north they

559
00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:11.680
<v Speaker 1>are I'm sorry, garbage, absolutely trash. You have like the

560
00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:16.119
<v Speaker 1>very small six bit copper line. Yeah, and nobody cared.

561
00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:17.759
<v Speaker 1>And then and I talked to some of the homeowners,

562
00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:20.079
<v Speaker 1>they said like, yeah, we don't see anybody for like weeks.

563
00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:23.720
<v Speaker 1>Like that's horrible right. Well, and by the way, that's

564
00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:27.799
<v Speaker 1>up in Viking, that's up north the northwest. Yeah, this

565
00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:29.279
<v Speaker 1>is what throwt out there week.

566
00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:31.960
<v Speaker 3>Well, we compete against them. We do serve almost up

567
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:34.720
<v Speaker 3>to international falls and so we do compete against them,

568
00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:36.200
<v Speaker 3>which isn't much of a competition.

569
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:37.359
<v Speaker 1>Their fault.

570
00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:40.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's just unfortunate because it really turns out to

571
00:27:40.039 --> 00:27:42.400
<v Speaker 3>be where you live and who your provider is, and

572
00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:44.880
<v Speaker 3>how lucky you are whether you whether you have internet

573
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:47.839
<v Speaker 3>still today, what kind of internet? When did you get access?

574
00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:50.079
<v Speaker 3>We take it for granted. I've had internet at my

575
00:27:50.240 --> 00:27:53.960
<v Speaker 3>house since nineteen ninety nine, and that is unbelievably rare

576
00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:54.880
<v Speaker 3>in a rural area.

577
00:27:55.720 --> 00:27:58.240
<v Speaker 2>And you know we've last week the kids had a

578
00:27:58.319 --> 00:28:00.599
<v Speaker 2>snow day. Yeah, school, and we we were even talking

579
00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:02.400
<v Speaker 2>about that. Well, they didn't have a snow day, they

580
00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:03.319
<v Speaker 2>had an e learning day.

581
00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:03.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah boo.

582
00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:08.079
<v Speaker 2>Even now today, twenty twenty six, you still have families

583
00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:11.039
<v Speaker 2>that don't have internet or computers.

584
00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:13.720
<v Speaker 3>At home, right, Yeah, Oh for sure. In COVID certainly

585
00:28:13.799 --> 00:28:15.599
<v Speaker 3>brought that home when all of a sudden everybody got

586
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:17.160
<v Speaker 3>sent home and they all need internet. You know, we

587
00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:19.079
<v Speaker 3>were one of the companies that was overwhelmed from a

588
00:28:20.039 --> 00:28:22.759
<v Speaker 3>demand perspective. Yeah, and we could only do so much

589
00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:26.240
<v Speaker 3>every day. But I laugh because that you know, everybody

590
00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:29.000
<v Speaker 3>thinks everybody uses the internet, you know, and that's not true,

591
00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:31.359
<v Speaker 3>you know, and for a lot of different reasons, whether

592
00:28:31.400 --> 00:28:33.200
<v Speaker 3>it's their own choice, you know, they're off the grid.

593
00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:35.759
<v Speaker 3>A little bit, or it's finances, whatever the case may be.

594
00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:40.000
<v Speaker 3>And COVID really brought that home and how important reliable

595
00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:42.440
<v Speaker 3>quality internet. We put up a lot of Wi Fi

596
00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:44.839
<v Speaker 3>stuff outside of our network so people who are nearby

597
00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:47.960
<v Speaker 3>had access to the Internet, and I know a lot

598
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:50.640
<v Speaker 3>of other providers did similar things. Because we can't solve

599
00:28:50.680 --> 00:28:52.359
<v Speaker 3>that problem immediately, we have to build it and it

600
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:55.279
<v Speaker 3>takes nine months and millions of dollars so and that's

601
00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:57.720
<v Speaker 3>just to get to three thousand locations at a time. Right,

602
00:28:57.839 --> 00:29:01.319
<v Speaker 3>So we've done what we've done over time, but we're

603
00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:04.880
<v Speaker 3>still trying to Sadly, it's still a big issue. And

604
00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:09.000
<v Speaker 3>a lot of particularly rural and rural areas low densely area,

605
00:29:09.119 --> 00:29:12.119
<v Speaker 3>so like in areas of outside of Cook there's not

606
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:14.200
<v Speaker 3>a lot of you know, people per mile.

607
00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:17.200
<v Speaker 2>Well and even then to just the terrain you get

608
00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:19.160
<v Speaker 2>up into Cook and it's very rocky.

609
00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:21.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's the worst. Yeah, yeah, we we we're so

610
00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:24.839
<v Speaker 3>used to stand over here, and boy, our construction certainly

611
00:29:24.880 --> 00:29:27.359
<v Speaker 3>took a lot longer over there and still does than

612
00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:29.680
<v Speaker 3>it does here because I mean it literally breaking drill

613
00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:34.440
<v Speaker 3>bits and nulla rock and it's called the iron range

614
00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:38.400
<v Speaker 3>for a reason right, not wrong, all right, but so

615
00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:42.440
<v Speaker 3>we we talk about this is the longest Paul, by

616
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:44.400
<v Speaker 3>the way, so I'll end it here.

617
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:46.759
<v Speaker 2>Every time you come on the show, and after you leave,

618
00:29:46.759 --> 00:29:50.400
<v Speaker 2>we're like he you can just tell you're very passionate

619
00:29:50.559 --> 00:29:53.480
<v Speaker 2>about what you do and how you portray it, and

620
00:29:54.000 --> 00:29:56.279
<v Speaker 2>Paul Bunyon is very lucky to have you as a

621
00:29:56.359 --> 00:29:57.559
<v Speaker 2>representative so well.

622
00:29:57.559 --> 00:30:00.440
<v Speaker 3>I appreciate that. It's easy though. I've always tell people

623
00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:04.319
<v Speaker 3>it's easy to to work for something you believe in, right,

624
00:30:04.359 --> 00:30:06.319
<v Speaker 3>And we're a member on cooperative, so there's not some

625
00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:08.720
<v Speaker 3>one rich guy on a lake that I got to

626
00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:11.680
<v Speaker 3>kiss up to to try to get a raise or

627
00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:14.079
<v Speaker 3>anything like that. It's we're all in it together too,

628
00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:16.680
<v Speaker 3>and we've got a great team. I mean, I just feel,

629
00:30:16.839 --> 00:30:18.359
<v Speaker 3>you know, pretty proud to be able to be the

630
00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:21.319
<v Speaker 3>kind of the face and the voice sometimes. But I

631
00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:23.359
<v Speaker 3>always remind our staff I can say and do whatever

632
00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:25.400
<v Speaker 3>I want, but if you don't back it up, that

633
00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:26.079
<v Speaker 3>means nothing.

634
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:27.480
<v Speaker 4>And you know, and they do.

635
00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:30.759
<v Speaker 3>Our staff is amazing, and that's one of the biggest

636
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:33.559
<v Speaker 3>things that I enjoyed the most is that we offer

637
00:30:34.119 --> 00:30:37.839
<v Speaker 3>local customer service. Still to this day, it's a dying breed.

638
00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:40.160
<v Speaker 3>I don't know who many who do, but I think

639
00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:44.079
<v Speaker 3>our members you certainly appreciate it and note it as

640
00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:46.039
<v Speaker 3>a difference between us and everybody else.

641
00:30:46.160 --> 00:30:48.759
<v Speaker 2>It's very nice that you can walk into a physical

642
00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:52.519
<v Speaker 2>location and speak to somebody that their native language is

643
00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:53.799
<v Speaker 2>the same language you're speaking.

644
00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:57.640
<v Speaker 3>They can they can pronounce your hometown if you say Mary.

645
00:30:57.839 --> 00:31:01.079
<v Speaker 3>I'm guessing a lot of our staff Mary is even

646
00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:03.799
<v Speaker 3>what say that to a frontier employee? See if they

647
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:05.319
<v Speaker 3>know where Nary, Minnesota is?

648
00:31:05.640 --> 00:31:08.559
<v Speaker 2>All right, why don't we jump into the bat of

649
00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:10.279
<v Speaker 2>the show here and get into the six pack.

650
00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:14.319
<v Speaker 4>It's time for the Billy Sports six packs, brought to

651

657
00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:36.000
<v Speaker 1>It's so nice, Han't Brooks. They do all of our stuff.

658
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, the first beer, the Twinkies they did. They've had

659
00:31:42.920 --> 00:31:45.279
<v Speaker 2>a little action last couple of years on the trade front.

660
00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:47.759
<v Speaker 1>Well, We'll start with Joe Ryan is still staying with

661
00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:50.200
<v Speaker 1>the Minnesota Twins. We'll start off with their four now

662
00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:54.039
<v Speaker 1>four and now is what I put dot dot dot four. Now, uh, Brian,

663
00:31:54.119 --> 00:31:56.720
<v Speaker 1>we have a we have a shot that I say

664
00:31:56.759 --> 00:32:00.759
<v Speaker 1>that Joe Ryan will be traded this off season by May.

665
00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:04.640
<v Speaker 1>By May, sorry not by April.

666
00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:05.839
<v Speaker 2>By spring training opening.

667
00:32:06.279 --> 00:32:08.200
<v Speaker 1>Wow, Well it's coming quick.

668
00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:10.400
<v Speaker 3>Will it matter? I mean, I don't know. You know, Baseball,

669
00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:12.680
<v Speaker 3>in my opinion, is the one sport that's all screwed up.

670
00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:14.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean, no matter how bad the Twins are or

671
00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:16.680
<v Speaker 3>how good the Twins are, they're not going to win

672
00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:18.200
<v Speaker 3>the World Series. They can't afford it.

673
00:32:18.640 --> 00:32:21.960
<v Speaker 2>That's I very much feel that there needs to be

674
00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:26.200
<v Speaker 2>not just a salary cap in baseball, but more so

675
00:32:26.559 --> 00:32:30.200
<v Speaker 2>a salary floor, just because what was it two or

676
00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:34.039
<v Speaker 2>three years ago you had the Tigers in the playoffs. Yeah,

677
00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:36.680
<v Speaker 2>and their playoff roster was eighteen million.

678
00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:39.319
<v Speaker 3>Dollars, which is like half of the contract of one

679
00:32:39.400 --> 00:32:42.599
<v Speaker 3>player on the Dodgers, right even absolutely, well, you know

680
00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:45.519
<v Speaker 3>that's the you know, again, that's Minnesota's up against it

681
00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:47.599
<v Speaker 3>because of that. So are all the small market teams,

682
00:32:47.640 --> 00:32:49.880
<v Speaker 3>so as almost all of Major League baseball, the Brewers

683
00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:51.920
<v Speaker 3>played pretty well, right and they got founded.

684
00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:54.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they they did. They were I thought they were.

685
00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:57.960
<v Speaker 1>They were in front of the NL NL North and

686
00:32:58.200 --> 00:33:03.559
<v Speaker 1>Central sorry football and the head still Bruce of that too. Uh, Yeah,

687
00:33:03.599 --> 00:33:05.839
<v Speaker 1>they're still in the North or the Central and they

688
00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:07.519
<v Speaker 1>were leading from Also. I think Cubs were given a

689
00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:08.480
<v Speaker 1>good run as well too.

690
00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:10.759
<v Speaker 3>But they have no chance at the end of the day.

691
00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:11.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, they don't know.

692
00:33:11.880 --> 00:33:14.680
<v Speaker 2>And when you've got and I Bruce and I are

693
00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:16.920
<v Speaker 2>very much in agreeance on this, there needs to be

694
00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:20.599
<v Speaker 2>something done about these deferred contracts too. When you've got

695
00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:24.039
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers paying show hey, three quarters of a billion

696
00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:27.640
<v Speaker 2>with a b dollars and he's only getting paid like

697
00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:31.480
<v Speaker 2>two million a year here and there. That's not really

698
00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:34.839
<v Speaker 2>represented representative of what he's actually being paid.

699
00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:36.480
<v Speaker 3>Isn't that like Barry Who is it?

700
00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:37.119
<v Speaker 2>Bobby Bill?

701
00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:40.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Bobby BENI a day right every year? Pay him

702
00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:41.640
<v Speaker 3>a million dollars or whatever.

703
00:33:41.920 --> 00:33:42.039
<v Speaker 5>You know.

704
00:33:42.319 --> 00:33:46.480
<v Speaker 2>So Bruce's big argument is from all the league does

705
00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:49.559
<v Speaker 2>a league wide revenue sharing right off the top, every

706
00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:54.559
<v Speaker 2>team gets one hundred million dollars, you should at least

707
00:33:54.640 --> 00:33:55.920
<v Speaker 2>have to spend up to.

708
00:33:56.319 --> 00:33:58.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, a minimum. Yeah, you can't. You don't get or

709
00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:01.160
<v Speaker 3>you're relegated to the minor leagues if you don't. Because

710
00:34:01.160 --> 00:34:04.039
<v Speaker 3>I mean the small market teams, you know, obviously they

711
00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:06.640
<v Speaker 3>have to hit the lottery of how they put their

712
00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:09.519
<v Speaker 3>roster together to be even competitive, let alone advance and

713
00:34:09.599 --> 00:34:11.840
<v Speaker 3>maybe win the World Series. But I think, you know,

714
00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:14.280
<v Speaker 3>just from the you've seen it in the other leagues,

715
00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:17.159
<v Speaker 3>they knew they had a problem and they solved it.

716
00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:19.840
<v Speaker 3>Because I don't know about you, I have a lot

717
00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:22.960
<v Speaker 3>less interest in baseball now because great it showed, you know,

718
00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:26.119
<v Speaker 3>they're you know, Otani's great, and what he did was amazing.

719
00:34:26.239 --> 00:34:28.639
<v Speaker 3>But when one team can dominate and then make a

720
00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:31.559
<v Speaker 3>mockery of free agency, they just go buy everybody else too.

721
00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:35.199
<v Speaker 2>It's like, wait a minute, they shelled out like one

722
00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:39.280
<v Speaker 2>point two billion dollars in contract free agency contracts last year.

723
00:34:39.440 --> 00:34:41.880
<v Speaker 3>Well, then this year they already signed a couple of

724
00:34:41.960 --> 00:34:43.360
<v Speaker 3>big contracts.

725
00:34:42.920 --> 00:34:47.039
<v Speaker 2>Because they got Yamamoto last year, Otani and then a

726
00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:48.719
<v Speaker 2>couple other guys well, and they got.

727
00:34:48.559 --> 00:34:52.639
<v Speaker 3>At least two this year because yeah sign Yeah, So anyway,

728
00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:55.079
<v Speaker 3>they got to fix that. From a Twins perspective, I

729
00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:57.519
<v Speaker 3>don't know, you know, Obviously people probably disappointed that the

730
00:34:57.559 --> 00:35:01.440
<v Speaker 3>Pole led family didn't sell. Yeah, you were all hoping

731
00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:05.079
<v Speaker 3>for a like an Alex Rodriguez Lori situation, come in

732
00:35:05.199 --> 00:35:06.599
<v Speaker 3>and invest in some you know.

733
00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:10.800
<v Speaker 2>But what I've read so one of the minority owners

734
00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:13.320
<v Speaker 2>they brought on was Craig Leopold, who happens to be

735
00:35:13.480 --> 00:35:15.679
<v Speaker 2>the majority owner for the Wild who has gone all

736
00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:22.280
<v Speaker 2>in and yeah, apparently there's some rumors going around that

737
00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:25.760
<v Speaker 2>with his minority share, there's the window for him to

738
00:35:26.039 --> 00:35:28.840
<v Speaker 2>eventually work his way into majority ownership of the Twins.

739
00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:31.719
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know, he's certainly shown that he's willing to

740
00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:34.880
<v Speaker 3>spend some money, and obviously this year more than any other,

741
00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:37.679
<v Speaker 3>they've got obviously the biggest free agent pickup in hockey,

742
00:35:38.519 --> 00:35:41.400
<v Speaker 3>and so you know, but unfortunately for them, the best

743
00:35:41.800 --> 00:35:43.239
<v Speaker 3>two of the best teams in the league are in

744
00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:45.840
<v Speaker 3>their division and conference, so they're up against it a

745
00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:49.119
<v Speaker 3>little bit that way. But you know, with the Twins, Uh,

746
00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:52.119
<v Speaker 3>it was the fire sale in August is what probably

747
00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:55.480
<v Speaker 3>was the most disappointing thing to me. Why don't you

748
00:35:55.599 --> 00:35:59.719
<v Speaker 3>just trade the whole team? Yeah, and not only that,

749
00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:01.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm and they were the reason that we won any

750
00:36:01.320 --> 00:36:02.760
<v Speaker 3>of those games a lot of the time. That was

751
00:36:02.800 --> 00:36:04.679
<v Speaker 3>our best part of our team was our bullpen.

752
00:36:05.199 --> 00:36:09.239
<v Speaker 2>Not wrong, by the way, it was d Edward O Julian,

753
00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:10.920
<v Speaker 2>he got that shipped out.

754
00:36:11.679 --> 00:36:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Tarko was the recent signing the Dodgers.

755
00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:16.679
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, the Twins made a couple moves the last

756
00:36:16.679 --> 00:36:22.400
<v Speaker 2>couple of days. Edward Old Julian and all the picture

757
00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:25.880
<v Speaker 2>pacher from the bullpen got shipped off to the Rockies

758
00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:31.239
<v Speaker 2>today and then yesterday they traded a catcher catcher Parada

759
00:36:31.840 --> 00:36:33.400
<v Speaker 2>to the Mariners for cash.

760
00:36:34.039 --> 00:36:37.239
<v Speaker 3>So because we all know how good cash is, right,

761
00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:41.559
<v Speaker 3>it probably has still a higher batting percentage than Nick Punto,

762
00:36:41.679 --> 00:36:43.880
<v Speaker 3>but cash still doesn't really do the trick.

763
00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:48.039
<v Speaker 2>We always joked growing up and Nick punto home run

764
00:36:48.159 --> 00:36:49.880
<v Speaker 2>was then he hit it out of the infield.

765
00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:53.760
<v Speaker 3>And he made more money than the three of us

766
00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:54.719
<v Speaker 3>combined in two years.

767
00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:56.840
<v Speaker 2>And he has and he has a ring, He's got

768
00:36:56.880 --> 00:36:58.320
<v Speaker 2>a couple. I think St.

769
00:36:58.400 --> 00:37:01.679
<v Speaker 1>Louis Saint Louis, and I thought Boston for the last run.

770
00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:05.039
<v Speaker 2>And he was actually a candidate for a brief moment

771
00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:07.320
<v Speaker 2>for the Twins managerial.

772
00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Job this year.

773
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:11.639
<v Speaker 2>I remember that, No he's coaching. He was coaching in

774
00:37:11.719 --> 00:37:12.719
<v Speaker 2>the Padres system.

775
00:37:13.199 --> 00:37:14.800
<v Speaker 3>Well, I mean that would just pick up where they

776
00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:16.800
<v Speaker 3>left off last season? Did most of them bat like

777
00:37:16.880 --> 00:37:19.400
<v Speaker 3>he did? Like two hundred? I mean did seemed like

778
00:37:19.480 --> 00:37:21.840
<v Speaker 3>we were not a very good batting team.

779
00:37:22.119 --> 00:37:25.079
<v Speaker 1>There's a mother Nick Punta out there. No, sorry, there is.

780
00:37:25.159 --> 00:37:26.280
<v Speaker 1>He's twenty five years old.

781
00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:29.079
<v Speaker 3>That's not the nick punto. We're talking.

782
00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:33.159
<v Speaker 2>No, no, So the guests we had last week, his

783
00:37:33.280 --> 00:37:36.760
<v Speaker 2>names Travis plays small ball or tumball for the Blue

784
00:37:36.760 --> 00:37:41.159
<v Speaker 2>Ox before he got hurt, and now he does silver

785
00:37:41.239 --> 00:37:47.639
<v Speaker 2>Bullet sessions with Matt It's crazy how even fifteen twenty

786
00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:51.000
<v Speaker 2>years ago, just the different mindset that baseball's gone through

787
00:37:51.039 --> 00:37:54.440
<v Speaker 2>as far as if ten, fifteen twenty years ago, if

788
00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:57.400
<v Speaker 2>you hit under two fifty, you were bad, right, and

789
00:37:57.559 --> 00:38:01.199
<v Speaker 2>now half their team beare hit two hundred. Well it

790
00:38:01.320 --> 00:38:02.000
<v Speaker 2>was its normal.

791
00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:03.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, pit bat two thirty and will give you two

792
00:38:03.960 --> 00:38:07.440
<v Speaker 3>million more a year. You know, Oh you had twenty

793
00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:10.199
<v Speaker 3>two home runs. Ooh, there's another three million for you.

794
00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:12.079
<v Speaker 2>To add about sixty straight oats.

795
00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:15.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well, and you're I think the batting average overall

796
00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:17.320
<v Speaker 3>is definitely dropped for a lot.

797
00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:19.159
<v Speaker 2>It absolutely every three.

798
00:38:19.039 --> 00:38:20.119
<v Speaker 3>Hundred is outstanding.

799
00:38:20.239 --> 00:38:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Now, well, I remember growing up. They used to talk

800
00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:28.599
<v Speaker 2>about batting average, obviously, home runs and RBI's. You don't

801
00:38:28.639 --> 00:38:30.519
<v Speaker 2>really hear a whole lot, you know. You used to

802
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:32.679
<v Speaker 2>see you, guys, if they broke a hundred rb eyes,

803
00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:34.880
<v Speaker 2>that's a great season. You don't hear them really talk

804
00:38:34.920 --> 00:38:35.559
<v Speaker 2>about that much.

805
00:38:35.679 --> 00:38:37.920
<v Speaker 3>No, they have all these war right is one of them.

806
00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:41.280
<v Speaker 3>All these other I hate saber metrics mean nothing to me.

807
00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:43.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what that means. How many runs have

808
00:38:44.039 --> 00:38:46.440
<v Speaker 3>they driven in? And then you see their one ninety

809
00:38:46.519 --> 00:38:49.199
<v Speaker 3>one batting average? Oh great, this is gonna go great

810
00:38:49.280 --> 00:38:49.559
<v Speaker 3>for us.

811
00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah great, Hey you up there, Well it's don't pop out.

812
00:38:55.760 --> 00:38:59.199
<v Speaker 2>Man Kavich brought it up. Doug former Twins first base

813
00:38:59.239 --> 00:38:59.960
<v Speaker 2>on Doug man Cava.

814
00:39:01.159 --> 00:39:02.760
<v Speaker 3>He's a World Series champion, and.

815
00:39:03.000 --> 00:39:08.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Boston, he was talking Boston or La, but he

816
00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:11.360
<v Speaker 2>was talking. He's a manager now and he was one

817
00:39:11.400 --> 00:39:15.920
<v Speaker 2>of the Twins affiliate managers. But even just with the

818
00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:19.960
<v Speaker 2>situational play, you see guys, now, well he's batting three

819
00:39:20.039 --> 00:39:23.199
<v Speaker 2>hundred against lefties but one fifty against right you know,

820
00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:26.119
<v Speaker 2>so they do a lot more situational spots, subs and stuff.

821
00:39:26.320 --> 00:39:28.199
<v Speaker 2>He's like, it's hard for a guy to actually get

822
00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:31.199
<v Speaker 2>consistent and get in a rhythm where he can actually

823
00:39:31.280 --> 00:39:32.679
<v Speaker 2>work to gett in his batting average.

824
00:39:33.840 --> 00:39:35.760
<v Speaker 3>And you suck bushes left handers so you don't get

825
00:39:35.800 --> 00:39:36.159
<v Speaker 3>a chance.

826
00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:40.159
<v Speaker 1>Yepu. By the way, I only won one World Series

827
00:39:40.239 --> 00:39:41.039
<v Speaker 1>now was with the Cardinals.

828
00:39:41.119 --> 00:39:42.400
<v Speaker 3>That makes me feel a little bit better.

829
00:39:43.559 --> 00:39:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Really, next Speer, next beer, all right, the Golphers, Matthew so.

830
00:39:49.440 --> 00:39:52.920
<v Speaker 1>The Minnesota the Golden Gophers. Dustin I posted it. Dustin commented,

831
00:39:53.199 --> 00:39:55.599
<v Speaker 1>this is football. You're football, not basketball.

832
00:39:55.920 --> 00:39:56.639
<v Speaker 2>Well, just as.

833
00:39:56.559 --> 00:39:59.840
<v Speaker 3>Golphers psych for Akron, that's gonna be a great match.

834
00:40:00.199 --> 00:40:03.639
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait to get tickets for that one. Barn Burner. Uh,

835
00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:08.280
<v Speaker 1>the Gulf is gonna play Eastern Illinois Mississippi State accurate.

836
00:40:08.039 --> 00:40:12.320
<v Speaker 3>A challenge Mississippi States, not a pushover like they normally schedule.

837
00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:14.320
<v Speaker 2>That's where dak came from. Yeah.

838
00:40:14.880 --> 00:40:19.239
<v Speaker 1>And then at Washington home against Michigan, at Purdue home

839
00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:23.800
<v Speaker 1>against Iowa at Indiana. Look on Halloween by the way,

840
00:40:24.199 --> 00:40:28.440
<v Speaker 1>uh U s l A at Penn State great uh

841
00:40:29.199 --> 00:40:33.679
<v Speaker 1>Northwestern and then at Wisconsin so ay wins.

842
00:40:33.719 --> 00:40:37.119
<v Speaker 2>Maybe Dustin said he was lucky to see five in there.

843
00:40:38.440 --> 00:40:39.559
<v Speaker 2>I was thinking three.

844
00:40:41.159 --> 00:40:43.199
<v Speaker 1>Try hope I'm hoping for the best. I'm a PJ

845
00:40:43.400 --> 00:40:43.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of guy.

846
00:40:43.880 --> 00:40:45.719
<v Speaker 3>There is no hope give up.

847
00:40:47.159 --> 00:40:51.079
<v Speaker 2>So here's the reality of it. PJ is gonna win

848
00:40:51.239 --> 00:40:53.960
<v Speaker 2>just enough games to get more national attention, get himself

849
00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:57.840
<v Speaker 2>another two year extension, soak the school of a few

850
00:40:57.920 --> 00:41:03.679
<v Speaker 2>million more right off into mediocrity. Win another worthless bowl game.

851
00:41:03.920 --> 00:41:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Here, here's him, get another bag.

852
00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:07.159
<v Speaker 2>Yep.

853
00:41:07.599 --> 00:41:09.800
<v Speaker 3>I went to the Purdue go for a game this year,

854
00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:12.840
<v Speaker 3>and that's the first time I've attended. And in the

855
00:41:12.880 --> 00:41:14.480
<v Speaker 3>outside that first time I was in that stage.

856
00:41:14.519 --> 00:41:15.400
<v Speaker 1>You're the one who took it.

857
00:41:16.199 --> 00:41:20.039
<v Speaker 3>They Wow, they were not good, and neither was Purdue.

858
00:41:20.039 --> 00:41:22.440
<v Speaker 3>The Purdue coach should have been fired. They killing us,

859
00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:24.760
<v Speaker 3>and they stopped running the ball. They had like two

860
00:41:24.840 --> 00:41:26.880
<v Speaker 3>hundred and fifty yards rushing and then they were up

861
00:41:26.920 --> 00:41:28.920
<v Speaker 3>by ten and stopped running the ball. I mean, I

862
00:41:29.039 --> 00:41:30.039
<v Speaker 3>was a sorrow world.

863
00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:32.559
<v Speaker 1>I was there that night. It was cold, yes, and.

864
00:41:32.599 --> 00:41:35.880
<v Speaker 3>The only Reasoner Persich made an interception for a return

865
00:41:35.920 --> 00:41:38.880
<v Speaker 3>for a touchdown is the only reason thought it. I mean,

866
00:41:40.159 --> 00:41:43.599
<v Speaker 3>horrible coaching from Purdue, and I mean we were bad

867
00:41:43.639 --> 00:41:45.920
<v Speaker 3>the whole time anyway, So I've.

868
00:41:46.440 --> 00:41:49.280
<v Speaker 2>How do you feel about Koy perrits going to Oregon sad.

869
00:41:49.880 --> 00:41:52.360
<v Speaker 1>I wish it wasn't a Big ten school. I was

870
00:41:52.480 --> 00:41:53.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of kind of wish it was like, you know,

871
00:41:53.880 --> 00:41:56.440
<v Speaker 1>like an Alabama like he wanted to or Yeah, and

872
00:41:56.440 --> 00:41:57.239
<v Speaker 1>I'll be fine with them all.

873
00:41:58.760 --> 00:42:00.840
<v Speaker 3>You can't blame him. I mean, he's not getting to

874
00:42:00.960 --> 00:42:04.800
<v Speaker 3>the national championship with the Minnesota Golden Gophers, not this

875
00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:06.920
<v Speaker 3>year next, but hey, you know, he's got a lot

876
00:42:06.960 --> 00:42:08.079
<v Speaker 3>better chance with Oregon.

877
00:42:09.519 --> 00:42:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Dustin and Bruce did make some good points for him

878
00:42:12.800 --> 00:42:16.039
<v Speaker 2>to stay though, because the U has become very well

879
00:42:16.159 --> 00:42:19.920
<v Speaker 2>known for being a good spot at developing defensive.

880
00:42:19.559 --> 00:42:25.639
<v Speaker 3>Backs Antonio Winfield right and junior. He was, yeah, I

881
00:42:25.840 --> 00:42:28.000
<v Speaker 3>was mad we didn't get him because he was such

882
00:42:28.039 --> 00:42:29.679
<v Speaker 3>a senior was a great.

883
00:42:29.920 --> 00:42:33.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he was supposed to be the replacement for Harrison

884
00:42:33.239 --> 00:42:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Smith allegedly, well.

885
00:42:35.599 --> 00:42:38.599
<v Speaker 2>He got drafted like one or two spots before the Vikings.

886
00:42:39.840 --> 00:42:43.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well that's true. I mean, we we have had,

887
00:42:43.480 --> 00:42:47.360
<v Speaker 3>i mean decent defenses. But yeah, you know, it's tough

888
00:42:47.400 --> 00:42:50.320
<v Speaker 3>in the world of college athletics now, I mean, I'm yeah,

889
00:42:50.360 --> 00:42:52.280
<v Speaker 3>it's got to be tough to try. I mean, you can,

890
00:42:52.519 --> 00:42:54.719
<v Speaker 3>like look at what happened to Northern Michigan Hockey. That's

891
00:42:54.719 --> 00:42:57.079
<v Speaker 3>who the Beavers play this weekend. They still haven't recovered

892
00:42:57.079 --> 00:42:59.880
<v Speaker 3>their coach left in April. The whole team bolted.

893
00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:03.559
<v Speaker 1>It's so weird, how so long?

894
00:43:03.880 --> 00:43:06.599
<v Speaker 2>I hate the transfer portal. There needs to be a

895
00:43:06.800 --> 00:43:13.400
<v Speaker 2>lot more clearly defined rules, you know, especially football and

896
00:43:13.480 --> 00:43:14.920
<v Speaker 2>basketball will be the prime example.

897
00:43:16.000 --> 00:43:16.920
<v Speaker 3>Has to change.

898
00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Exactly, you know, like football, for example, you've got guys

899
00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:24.400
<v Speaker 2>that are opting out of games during bowl season, which

900
00:43:24.760 --> 00:43:27.000
<v Speaker 2>when they've got nil deals, their nil sponsors are proud,

901
00:43:27.039 --> 00:43:29.559
<v Speaker 2>piss because those are the most visible games, right, But

902
00:43:30.360 --> 00:43:32.559
<v Speaker 2>you've got guys that are entering the transfer portal in

903
00:43:32.599 --> 00:43:33.679
<v Speaker 2>the season it's not even over.

904
00:43:34.360 --> 00:43:36.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and who came up with the rules? I'm like,

905
00:43:36.440 --> 00:43:39.400
<v Speaker 3>have you followed football? Do you know how this works?

906
00:43:39.519 --> 00:43:41.639
<v Speaker 3>Is like some accountant in the corner office of the

907
00:43:41.760 --> 00:43:44.440
<v Speaker 3>NCAA coming up with these time frames.

908
00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:46.000
<v Speaker 1>But it's stupid.

909
00:43:46.079 --> 00:43:48.840
<v Speaker 3>It's not rocket science. You should we talked about wait

910
00:43:49.000 --> 00:43:51.719
<v Speaker 3>to open it until the national Championship is over.

911
00:43:51.840 --> 00:43:54.119
<v Speaker 2>Right, So we talked about this with Charlie from Lakeland

912
00:43:54.119 --> 00:43:56.000
<v Speaker 2>when he was on a few weeks ago. There needs

913
00:43:56.039 --> 00:44:01.039
<v Speaker 2>to be a clearly defined free agent period, like it

914
00:44:01.199 --> 00:44:07.280
<v Speaker 2>doesn't start until the end of the January fifteenth, for example, right,

915
00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:11.639
<v Speaker 2>and then it closes before spring practices start in March

916
00:44:11.719 --> 00:44:14.599
<v Speaker 2>or April. You know, there's a defined this is when

917
00:44:14.639 --> 00:44:17.559
<v Speaker 2>you ken or can't do it. Yes, And the same

918
00:44:17.639 --> 00:44:21.840
<v Speaker 2>thing with coaches and nil. There needs to be like

919
00:44:21.920 --> 00:44:24.280
<v Speaker 2>a salary cap system with nil in.

920
00:44:24.519 --> 00:44:28.199
<v Speaker 3>Well it's a wild west right now. They'll hopefully be

921
00:44:28.280 --> 00:44:30.360
<v Speaker 3>able to rent it in, but obviously there's some changes

922
00:44:30.400 --> 00:44:31.119
<v Speaker 3>that need to be made.

923
00:44:33.679 --> 00:44:36.000
<v Speaker 2>What else you got on that topic that that's really

924
00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:36.320
<v Speaker 2>about it?

925
00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:37.519
<v Speaker 1>I know, I know we're going to go a bit

926
00:44:37.599 --> 00:44:40.239
<v Speaker 1>long on some paublay and communication stuff, which I'm really

927
00:44:40.239 --> 00:44:42.400
<v Speaker 1>really happy because there's some things like I'm always curious

928
00:44:42.440 --> 00:44:44.119
<v Speaker 1>about and like I know some more of some of

929
00:44:44.199 --> 00:44:46.159
<v Speaker 1>the technical stuff like underground type things.

930
00:44:46.039 --> 00:44:48.000
<v Speaker 3>Like I know, like you know, because you do it right,

931
00:44:48.119 --> 00:44:50.639
<v Speaker 3>most consumers have no idea it's magic. It's magic.

932
00:44:50.719 --> 00:44:54.719
<v Speaker 1>It's not really if it gets cut and then hey,

933
00:44:55.480 --> 00:44:56.079
<v Speaker 1>what are you doing?

934
00:44:59.079 --> 00:45:01.039
<v Speaker 2>Like I thought he was just on a bowl against it,

935
00:45:01.079 --> 00:45:02.320
<v Speaker 2>but he's actually chewing on the bar.

936
00:45:02.760 --> 00:45:04.679
<v Speaker 1>What are you doing anyways?

937
00:45:04.840 --> 00:45:04.960
<v Speaker 5>Uh?

938
00:45:05.119 --> 00:45:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So like like I know, like fiber is not cheap,

<v Speaker 3>Well, and hopefully most people realize that there's a lot

944
00:45:20.360 --> 00:45:22.760
<v Speaker 3>of stuff on the ground now right. They might not

945
00:45:23.119 --> 00:45:25.880
<v Speaker 3>think it's in their yard, but it's again people, it's magic.

<v Speaker 3>Hey, they want to be part of the show.

<v Speaker 1>I don't need to bite on chewing up.

959
00:45:58.320 --> 00:45:59.079
<v Speaker 2>Crack the next one?

960
00:45:59.119 --> 00:45:59.920
<v Speaker 1>All right, well, crack that.

961
00:46:01.639 --> 00:46:06.760
<v Speaker 2>The wild and timberwolves and FanDuel. It's becoming it's becoming

962
00:46:06.840 --> 00:46:11.440
<v Speaker 2>a very very logical question to ask when does FanDuel

963
00:46:11.559 --> 00:46:13.199
<v Speaker 2>go dark? Not if, but when?

964
00:46:14.360 --> 00:46:17.079
<v Speaker 1>And I've made it we in our text, I've told

965
00:46:17.119 --> 00:46:19.440
<v Speaker 1>you this, Like, I'm do you think it was smart

966
00:46:19.519 --> 00:46:24.000
<v Speaker 1>that they had local coverages pick up the Wild in

967
00:46:24.039 --> 00:46:26.199
<v Speaker 1>the past those last few games. I think it's like.

968
00:46:26.239 --> 00:46:28.000
<v Speaker 2>There's four of them that they're going to do between

969
00:46:28.039 --> 00:46:33.199
<v Speaker 2>now and the next like two months. FanDuel has already

970
00:46:33.280 --> 00:46:36.559
<v Speaker 2>I know that the Timberwolves missed a payment, missed a

971
00:46:36.679 --> 00:46:39.480
<v Speaker 2>received payment from FanDuel. I haven't heard of the Wild,

972
00:46:39.599 --> 00:46:43.360
<v Speaker 2>have or not, but it's becoming more and more likely

973
00:46:43.480 --> 00:46:45.039
<v Speaker 2>that FanDuel is gonna fold.

974
00:46:46.079 --> 00:46:48.400
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, we carry FanDuel Network. I've not heard anything

975
00:46:48.440 --> 00:46:51.039
<v Speaker 3>from them obviously, only what you guys read in the

976
00:46:51.239 --> 00:46:54.159
<v Speaker 3>in the trades and everything. It's very similar to what

977
00:46:54.199 --> 00:46:57.679
<v Speaker 3>happened with Twins TV, right and the Twins. They obviously

978
00:46:57.760 --> 00:47:01.199
<v Speaker 3>went off of fan duel, not necessarily to their financial gain.

979
00:47:02.159 --> 00:47:04.800
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, it's hard to say how it would all

980
00:47:04.960 --> 00:47:07.360
<v Speaker 3>shake out. Personally, we're just all hoping that they can

981
00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:09.159
<v Speaker 3>make it through the end of the regular season for

982
00:47:09.280 --> 00:47:11.519
<v Speaker 3>both those teams, because their contract is up at the

983
00:47:11.599 --> 00:47:13.800
<v Speaker 3>end of this year, I believe, or even before the

984
00:47:13.880 --> 00:47:17.159
<v Speaker 3>next season. Maybe certainly it would all get figured out

985
00:47:17.159 --> 00:47:19.360
<v Speaker 3>between then and the beginning of the next season. How

986
00:47:19.440 --> 00:47:22.239
<v Speaker 3>that will shake out, what that means for Wild and

987
00:47:22.599 --> 00:47:24.960
<v Speaker 3>Timberwolves fans will have to wait and see. It's not

988
00:47:25.159 --> 00:47:28.199
<v Speaker 3>necessarily good or bad. You know, they could be put

989
00:47:28.280 --> 00:47:30.639
<v Speaker 3>on you know, a network that you got to pay

990
00:47:30.639 --> 00:47:32.960
<v Speaker 3>a lot for, could be Twins TV, which.

991
00:47:32.840 --> 00:47:33.400
<v Speaker 4>You know what was that?

992
00:47:33.599 --> 00:47:37.079
<v Speaker 3>I mean, obviously we included it, but month all right,

993
00:47:37.239 --> 00:47:39.320
<v Speaker 3>nid time he got Yeah, we got it just before

994
00:47:39.400 --> 00:47:41.880
<v Speaker 3>opening day, the first in Minnesota to have it.

995
00:47:42.039 --> 00:47:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you got shot out on a K fan as well.

996
00:47:45.039 --> 00:47:47.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Yeah, they thought it was awesome. The Twins too.

997
00:47:47.480 --> 00:47:47.599
<v Speaker 2>Well.

998
00:47:47.639 --> 00:47:49.400
<v Speaker 3>I talked to some of the Twins people and of

999
00:47:49.480 --> 00:47:51.000
<v Speaker 3>course they're like, we thought it was so cool that

1000
00:47:51.119 --> 00:47:54.559
<v Speaker 3>Paul Bunyan was the first company that we signed because

1001
00:47:54.559 --> 00:47:55.800
<v Speaker 3>of the Minnesota connotation.

1002
00:47:56.000 --> 00:47:58.039
<v Speaker 1>You know, so how did that work? Like did you

1003
00:47:58.239 --> 00:48:00.679
<v Speaker 1>like probably you didn't go in the gociate that kind

1004
00:48:00.679 --> 00:48:02.639
<v Speaker 1>of stuff, but how did that work with the Minnesota Twins?

1005
00:48:02.719 --> 00:48:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Like not having that because they don't have FICN or

1006
00:48:07.519 --> 00:48:09.760
<v Speaker 1>a ballet or any other or fandue like that, Right,

1007
00:48:09.800 --> 00:48:11.239
<v Speaker 1>how did that work for you guys? You just like,

1008
00:48:11.320 --> 00:48:12.679
<v Speaker 1>do you just make a phone call like, hey, we

1009
00:48:12.679 --> 00:48:14.719
<v Speaker 1>would like to pick up the Twins?

1010
00:48:14.920 --> 00:48:14.960
<v Speaker 5>No?

1011
00:48:15.199 --> 00:48:20.519
<v Speaker 3>Actually, MLB Baseball took it over yep. So we carried

1012
00:48:20.559 --> 00:48:22.599
<v Speaker 3>the MLB network, so I know those people and have

1013
00:48:22.679 --> 00:48:24.800
<v Speaker 3>worked with them for years, and so it was the

1014
00:48:24.880 --> 00:48:27.239
<v Speaker 3>same people that we worked with from MLB Network and

1015
00:48:27.320 --> 00:48:31.920
<v Speaker 3>NHL Network. Those two networks are run by are handled

1016
00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:34.039
<v Speaker 3>by the same group of people, and so it was

1017
00:48:34.079 --> 00:48:35.800
<v Speaker 3>really actually pretty easy. I mean, we have a good

1018
00:48:35.800 --> 00:48:38.800
<v Speaker 3>personal relationship with them. Our deal, of course was negotiating

1019
00:48:38.840 --> 00:48:41.639
<v Speaker 3>the contract and certainly wanting to make sure that they

1020
00:48:41.760 --> 00:48:44.960
<v Speaker 3>understood it. There's less value the longer this goes on

1021
00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:47.800
<v Speaker 3>past opening day, so we want to get this on.

1022
00:48:48.559 --> 00:48:50.679
<v Speaker 3>But they were also in a lot of flux, so

1023
00:48:51.360 --> 00:48:53.199
<v Speaker 3>they were trying to figure things out. Now, they did

1024
00:48:53.239 --> 00:48:55.920
<v Speaker 3>it for San Diego and I think the Diamondbacks in Arizona,

1025
00:48:55.960 --> 00:48:57.280
<v Speaker 3>so they had done it for a couple of other

1026
00:48:57.320 --> 00:49:00.599
<v Speaker 3>teams prior. We weren't the first, but it did take

1027
00:49:00.599 --> 00:49:02.639
<v Speaker 3>them a little while to get to to get what

1028
00:49:02.800 --> 00:49:04.639
<v Speaker 3>they wanted to do, and then of course they had

1029
00:49:04.679 --> 00:49:06.960
<v Speaker 3>to come back to reality when they're you know, as

1030
00:49:06.960 --> 00:49:08.760
<v Speaker 3>far as how much you know, pie in the sky

1031
00:49:08.920 --> 00:49:13.079
<v Speaker 3>money they're asking for. And so it actually worked out

1032
00:49:13.119 --> 00:49:15.599
<v Speaker 3>for us where the cost of FanDuel Network plus Twins

1033
00:49:15.599 --> 00:49:18.360
<v Speaker 3>TV was about the same Okay, so you know the

1034
00:49:18.519 --> 00:49:20.920
<v Speaker 3>loss from FanDuel because we don't get charged as much

1035
00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:22.960
<v Speaker 3>if they don't have the twins. Yeah, it was almost equal,

1036
00:49:23.039 --> 00:49:26.119
<v Speaker 3>so that really wasn't a big, you know, rate problem

1037
00:49:26.239 --> 00:49:28.840
<v Speaker 3>for us. It worked out actually pretty well. But again,

1038
00:49:28.880 --> 00:49:31.159
<v Speaker 3>we wanted to get it for our customers right away.

1039
00:49:31.639 --> 00:49:34.480
<v Speaker 3>They had it on for a while of preseason, but

1040
00:49:34.840 --> 00:49:37.239
<v Speaker 3>nobody carried it. Then you could stream it, and they

1041
00:49:37.280 --> 00:49:39.320
<v Speaker 3>did offer that's the first year they offered the direct

1042
00:49:39.360 --> 00:49:41.920
<v Speaker 3>to streaming thing. For twenty bucks a month you could

1043
00:49:42.079 --> 00:49:46.400
<v Speaker 3>get the games. So there were other options finally at

1044
00:49:46.480 --> 00:49:50.039
<v Speaker 3>least and with the Wild and the Timberwolves. You just

1045
00:49:50.119 --> 00:49:52.880
<v Speaker 3>don't know. Now there's rumors that ESPN might be trying

1046
00:49:52.880 --> 00:49:55.519
<v Speaker 3>to take over the MLB stuff, so that changes the

1047
00:49:55.599 --> 00:49:56.480
<v Speaker 3>game completely.

1048
00:49:56.920 --> 00:50:01.760
<v Speaker 2>Ah, it's from a consumer stand point, you know, you

1049
00:50:01.840 --> 00:50:05.960
<v Speaker 2>see a lot of people cutting cords just by nature

1050
00:50:06.000 --> 00:50:08.199
<v Speaker 2>of things, you know, like licensing fees and stuff like that.

1051
00:50:08.679 --> 00:50:11.480
<v Speaker 2>It's expensive nowadays, it's.

1052
00:50:11.440 --> 00:50:13.559
<v Speaker 3>Just going to be the most expensive thing, you know,

1053
00:50:13.760 --> 00:50:14.639
<v Speaker 3>and by the.

1054
00:50:14.679 --> 00:50:16.719
<v Speaker 2>Time you sit and like we've talked about it. Okay,

1055
00:50:16.880 --> 00:50:20.599
<v Speaker 2>so if I have an MLB subscription, if I have

1056
00:50:20.760 --> 00:50:24.119
<v Speaker 2>a fan duel subscription, if I have all these different subscriptions.

1057
00:50:24.239 --> 00:50:27.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to be paying sixty seventy eighty bucks a month,

1058
00:50:27.320 --> 00:50:28.679
<v Speaker 2>then I might as well just get cable.

1059
00:50:28.480 --> 00:50:30.480
<v Speaker 3>Back, right, correct, That's exactly well, and that's what's going

1060
00:50:30.559 --> 00:50:32.360
<v Speaker 3>to happen. The prices are going to go up. I mean,

1061
00:50:32.400 --> 00:50:34.960
<v Speaker 3>what what Netflix when they started, what's six bucks a

1062
00:50:35.039 --> 00:50:37.519
<v Speaker 3>month and they're twenty now. I mean they start long

1063
00:50:37.559 --> 00:50:40.559
<v Speaker 3>and get going, but they also consolidate so there's less people.

1064
00:50:41.000 --> 00:50:43.880
<v Speaker 3>So Disney and Hulu are teaming up. Now it's going

1065
00:50:43.920 --> 00:50:46.039
<v Speaker 3>to get down to just a few providers that control

1066
00:50:46.119 --> 00:50:48.320
<v Speaker 3>all the content, and your cost is going to be

1067
00:50:48.920 --> 00:50:52.079
<v Speaker 3>up to them and for them. Their problem is that

1068
00:50:52.119 --> 00:50:54.639
<v Speaker 3>their bread and butter all along has been cable television

1069
00:50:54.719 --> 00:50:57.800
<v Speaker 3>and people like Paul Bunny you deliver it where you know,

1070
00:50:57.920 --> 00:51:00.480
<v Speaker 3>we pay per subscriber per month for these things. When

1071
00:51:00.920 --> 00:51:03.639
<v Speaker 3>you let people choose on their own and go I

1072
00:51:03.760 --> 00:51:05.440
<v Speaker 3>want this and I want that, but not this and that,

1073
00:51:05.840 --> 00:51:07.559
<v Speaker 3>then you aren't going to make nearly as much money.

1074
00:51:07.559 --> 00:51:09.960
<v Speaker 3>Where we're forced to carry you know, ESPN. If we

1075
00:51:10.000 --> 00:51:12.719
<v Speaker 3>want ESPN, guess what, they're owned by ESPN. Disney, we

1076
00:51:12.800 --> 00:51:14.840
<v Speaker 3>have to carry all those channels. You don't get one

1077
00:51:14.960 --> 00:51:17.199
<v Speaker 3>or none. You know, you don't get to pick in

1078
00:51:17.360 --> 00:51:19.559
<v Speaker 3>our world, but you do in the streaming world, and

1079
00:51:19.639 --> 00:51:21.760
<v Speaker 3>that's going to cost them money. So there's a couple

1080
00:51:21.800 --> 00:51:23.400
<v Speaker 3>of things happening. One, they try to try to get

1081
00:51:23.400 --> 00:51:25.239
<v Speaker 3>as much revenue as they can now before it all

1082
00:51:25.280 --> 00:51:28.960
<v Speaker 3>goes away, and that's pushing people to go to streaming.

1083
00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:33.159
<v Speaker 3>And so they're really in kind of a quandary right

1084
00:51:33.199 --> 00:51:35.079
<v Speaker 3>now financially is how are we going to be able

1085
00:51:35.119 --> 00:51:37.639
<v Speaker 3>to make what we may in the old way with

1086
00:51:37.760 --> 00:51:40.039
<v Speaker 3>the new way? And they're probably not going to be

1087
00:51:40.079 --> 00:51:40.599
<v Speaker 3>able to do that.

1088
00:51:40.880 --> 00:51:45.559
<v Speaker 2>Part of the issue though, especially with Netflix and Hulu

1089
00:51:46.280 --> 00:51:50.440
<v Speaker 2>and Paramount, they're pushing their own productions now too. Yeah,

1090
00:51:50.440 --> 00:51:52.400
<v Speaker 2>so now you've got that overhead to cover well.

1091
00:51:52.440 --> 00:51:53.840
<v Speaker 3>And then if you want, you know, it's going to

1092
00:51:53.920 --> 00:51:55.679
<v Speaker 3>come up down to every consumer what's important to you

1093
00:51:55.760 --> 00:51:57.360
<v Speaker 3>and how much are you willing to pay? So if

1094
00:51:57.400 --> 00:52:00.679
<v Speaker 3>you like that show on Amazon Prime, guess what you're

1095
00:52:00.679 --> 00:52:02.719
<v Speaker 3>gonna have to pay for Amazon Prime. And then oh wait,

1096
00:52:02.760 --> 00:52:04.320
<v Speaker 3>I like this show on Peacock, and then I like

1097
00:52:04.360 --> 00:52:06.840
<v Speaker 3>the show on Paramount Plus. I mean it's going to

1098
00:52:06.880 --> 00:52:09.239
<v Speaker 3>be divvied up a little bit that way. But there's

1099
00:52:09.280 --> 00:52:11.599
<v Speaker 3>a lot of different streaming options, like if you want

1100
00:52:11.719 --> 00:52:14.760
<v Speaker 3>something more like Paul Bunion Television, Direct TV, YouTube TV,

1101
00:52:14.880 --> 00:52:16.559
<v Speaker 3>they have a guide and they have a channel thing,

1102
00:52:16.639 --> 00:52:19.639
<v Speaker 3>and it's live TV versus like Amazon Prime, which has

1103
00:52:19.679 --> 00:52:21.920
<v Speaker 3>a kind of it's more on your time and your choice.

1104
00:52:22.199 --> 00:52:24.000
<v Speaker 3>But they do have some live programming and all of

1105
00:52:24.039 --> 00:52:27.599
<v Speaker 3>them are getting into that. But it's not like it's

1106
00:52:27.760 --> 00:52:30.280
<v Speaker 3>live like where we know traditional cable television. But there

1107
00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:32.760
<v Speaker 3>are streaming options that are so I mean, at least

1108
00:52:32.760 --> 00:52:36.039
<v Speaker 3>there's something for everyone in that regard. But yeah, it's

1109
00:52:36.039 --> 00:52:38.280
<v Speaker 3>a big challenge for these folks. And sports is the

1110
00:52:38.320 --> 00:52:42.320
<v Speaker 3>biggest factor. Somebody's paying for all these contracts. And you know,

1111
00:52:42.480 --> 00:52:44.960
<v Speaker 3>the Dodgers aren't the only ones. It's the fans that

1112
00:52:45.039 --> 00:52:46.119
<v Speaker 3>are paying for all this stuff.

1113
00:52:46.280 --> 00:52:48.559
<v Speaker 2>Well, and that's why it costs you four hundred dollars

1114
00:52:48.679 --> 00:52:51.320
<v Speaker 2>for a family two or three to go to a

1115
00:52:51.360 --> 00:52:52.360
<v Speaker 2>hockey game exactly.

1116
00:52:52.440 --> 00:52:54.800
<v Speaker 3>Well there, and then that's why your TV bill's so

1117
00:52:54.960 --> 00:52:57.599
<v Speaker 3>high too. I mean, sports is a big thing and

1118
00:52:57.920 --> 00:52:59.960
<v Speaker 3>it's costs a lot of money, and that's it trickles down.

1119
00:53:00.239 --> 00:53:02.639
<v Speaker 3>Don't don't make many mistake about that. We're all paying

1120
00:53:02.679 --> 00:53:03.280
<v Speaker 3>those salaries.

1121
00:53:03.320 --> 00:53:06.599
<v Speaker 2>Oh absolutely so, as Matt mentioned though too. The Wild

1122
00:53:06.760 --> 00:53:12.920
<v Speaker 2>will have four games on basic cable TV. Really, they've

1123
00:53:13.000 --> 00:53:18.159
<v Speaker 2>got three games on my forty five and then so

1124
00:53:18.360 --> 00:53:25.440
<v Speaker 2>on January twenty tomorrow they've got Interesting Calgary. Friday, February

1125
00:53:25.519 --> 00:53:31.519
<v Speaker 2>twenty seventh there will be on WCCO against Utah, Saturday

1126
00:53:31.559 --> 00:53:35.719
<v Speaker 2>April eleventh on forty five TV again against Nashville, and

1127
00:53:35.840 --> 00:53:40.639
<v Speaker 2>then Tuesday, April fourteenth on forty five TV against Anna.

1128
00:53:40.760 --> 00:53:42.840
<v Speaker 3>Interesting. I mean normally you do that with one company.

1129
00:53:42.880 --> 00:53:46.400
<v Speaker 3>I mean, WCCO is not affiliated with the channel forty five.

1130
00:53:46.480 --> 00:53:48.519
<v Speaker 3>That's a Hubberd stake. That's so like I'm won like

1131
00:53:48.639 --> 00:53:50.559
<v Speaker 3>that's like that's not a good sign though, I mean,

1132
00:53:50.599 --> 00:53:53.920
<v Speaker 3>if they're doing that, like when I'm in my fah

1133
00:53:54.239 --> 00:53:56.320
<v Speaker 3>pulled the games off fan duel though, right, I mean

1134
00:53:56.360 --> 00:53:59.079
<v Speaker 3>they're still on fan duel, right, Well they have that

1135
00:53:59.199 --> 00:54:00.599
<v Speaker 3>might be a scheduling conflict, but.

1136
00:54:00.679 --> 00:54:03.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and say even right now, you've got the occasional

1137
00:54:03.360 --> 00:54:08.440
<v Speaker 2>game where it's national broadcast on ESPN or what you know, NBC.

1138
00:54:08.880 --> 00:54:11.480
<v Speaker 2>So but even on like when I'm out in my

1139
00:54:11.559 --> 00:54:16.639
<v Speaker 2>fish house and I just over the air antenna, Channel

1140
00:54:16.800 --> 00:54:23.840
<v Speaker 2>twelve is WCCO, and then like twelve Dash three I

1141
00:54:23.920 --> 00:54:25.800
<v Speaker 2>think is my forty five.

1142
00:54:26.239 --> 00:54:31.159
<v Speaker 3>Oh well, my forty five is definitely a affiliated with

1143
00:54:31.280 --> 00:54:34.000
<v Speaker 3>KSTP Channel five ABC out of Minneapolis, or.

1144
00:54:34.000 --> 00:54:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Maybe that's what I'm thinking.

1145
00:54:35.639 --> 00:54:36.639
<v Speaker 1>It's I think it's an AB.

1146
00:54:36.880 --> 00:54:39.800
<v Speaker 2>I think my twenty eight to three is forty five.

1147
00:54:39.920 --> 00:54:43.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so I mean it'll be I guess, wait and see,

1148
00:54:43.159 --> 00:54:46.679
<v Speaker 3>who knows. Again, we're just hoping, fingers crossed any changes

1149
00:54:46.719 --> 00:54:48.800
<v Speaker 3>come after this season, and then you know, by the

1150
00:54:48.880 --> 00:54:50.639
<v Speaker 3>next start of the next season, it will all be

1151
00:54:50.800 --> 00:54:51.639
<v Speaker 3>known what's going on.

1152
00:54:51.960 --> 00:54:54.400
<v Speaker 2>So there's some rumors, as long as we're talking about

1153
00:54:54.400 --> 00:54:55.960
<v Speaker 2>the Wild Matt and you don't have it on here,

1154
00:54:56.159 --> 00:54:59.960
<v Speaker 2>there's some rumors that a certain young stud goaltender maybe

1155
00:55:00.199 --> 00:55:05.320
<v Speaker 2>on the movie The Old Wall of Saint Paul oh No,

1156
00:55:08.639 --> 00:55:12.719
<v Speaker 2>is rumored to be a potential trade ship for the

1157
00:55:12.880 --> 00:55:16.760
<v Speaker 2>While to actually land a top six forward.

1158
00:55:17.760 --> 00:55:19.079
<v Speaker 1>Oh shit, don't like that.

1159
00:55:19.960 --> 00:55:22.199
<v Speaker 2>Oh, they've traded all their other assets away.

1160
00:55:22.239 --> 00:55:22.599
<v Speaker 1>You get it.

1161
00:55:22.760 --> 00:55:25.559
<v Speaker 2>But when you gave, you gave up what is the

1162
00:55:25.639 --> 00:55:28.320
<v Speaker 2>equivalent of four first rounders to get Quinn Hughes here.

1163
00:55:28.320 --> 00:55:30.480
<v Speaker 1>And again, we talked with Jesse Pierce from the Minnesota

1164
00:55:30.559 --> 00:55:34.519
<v Speaker 1>Well I did I take Yeah? Oh h get that.

1165
00:55:34.719 --> 00:55:37.719
<v Speaker 1>That's a shot. When I text her, I said, is

1166
00:55:37.800 --> 00:55:40.039
<v Speaker 1>Billy g going all in or what is doing? What

1167
00:55:40.159 --> 00:55:44.320
<v Speaker 1>was he doing? She's like, he wants a cup now, brilliant?

1168
00:55:44.320 --> 00:55:48.039
<v Speaker 3>All right, good dad, Well let's start with a playoff series.

1169
00:55:48.079 --> 00:55:48.519
<v Speaker 3>How about that?

1170
00:55:48.800 --> 00:55:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

1171
00:55:48.960 --> 00:55:51.880
<v Speaker 2>I can at least get the Wild to become the Twins.

1172
00:55:52.199 --> 00:55:57.840
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, I attended the last home the last time

1173
00:55:57.840 --> 00:55:59.880
<v Speaker 3>they won a playoff series. It was Zach Preezy beating

1174
00:55:59.920 --> 00:56:00.800
<v Speaker 3>the Saint Louis Blues.

1175
00:56:00.840 --> 00:56:01.719
<v Speaker 1>I was at the game.

1176
00:56:02.119 --> 00:56:05.559
<v Speaker 3>My daughter, who is now twenty eight, had just got

1177
00:56:05.639 --> 00:56:08.639
<v Speaker 3>done with her senior prom in high school. That's how

1178
00:56:08.760 --> 00:56:10.119
<v Speaker 3>long it's been since we won.

1179
00:56:10.199 --> 00:56:11.679
<v Speaker 2>It was sixteen.

1180
00:56:11.800 --> 00:56:16.800
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I mean, come on, and this almost every year

1181
00:56:16.840 --> 00:56:18.920
<v Speaker 3>of that they've been in the playoffs. It's not like

1182
00:56:18.960 --> 00:56:20.679
<v Speaker 3>they missed the playoffs and didn't have a chance to

1183
00:56:20.760 --> 00:56:25.440
<v Speaker 3>win one. So yeah, maybe this is the year. Well

1184
00:56:25.639 --> 00:56:28.639
<v Speaker 3>you know, they're like you said, they're gonna play Dallas or.

1185
00:56:28.960 --> 00:56:33.039
<v Speaker 2>The unfortunate thing is is we're in We're ranked thirty

1186
00:56:33.039 --> 00:56:37.559
<v Speaker 2>in the entire league, behind Colorado and Dallas, who just

1187
00:56:37.679 --> 00:56:39.440
<v Speaker 2>happened to be in our division. So we're in third

1188
00:56:39.480 --> 00:56:40.320
<v Speaker 2>place in our division.

1189
00:56:40.400 --> 00:56:42.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, I mean they're kind of host well, that's

1190
00:56:42.559 --> 00:56:44.199
<v Speaker 3>like the Vikings last year. Right, you kind of get

1191
00:56:44.239 --> 00:56:46.920
<v Speaker 3>hosed because the other you know, everybody good is in

1192
00:56:47.079 --> 00:56:50.039
<v Speaker 3>your division. But hey, you got to go through them anyway, right,

1193
00:56:50.239 --> 00:56:51.559
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you might as well get it out of

1194
00:56:51.599 --> 00:56:55.079
<v Speaker 3>the way. And a Dallas series in the playoffs would

1195
00:56:55.079 --> 00:56:57.880
<v Speaker 3>be fun. I don't know if they could beat the

1196
00:56:57.920 --> 00:57:00.719
<v Speaker 3>Abs to you know, the Abs are just so good,

1197
00:57:00.920 --> 00:57:03.320
<v Speaker 3>but you never know. That's why you play the game.

1198
00:57:03.360 --> 00:57:05.280
<v Speaker 3>But it is going to be an uphill battle for

1199
00:57:05.320 --> 00:57:08.119
<v Speaker 3>the Wild to even win another playoff series of all years,

1200
00:57:09.119 --> 00:57:10.480
<v Speaker 3>you know, why couldn't they be good a couple of

1201
00:57:10.519 --> 00:57:12.400
<v Speaker 3>years ago and there was a weaker talent in the.

1202
00:57:13.119 --> 00:57:15.960
<v Speaker 2>And so you've got Quinn Hughes for sure under contract

1203
00:57:16.079 --> 00:57:19.559
<v Speaker 2>for this year and next year. Rumor has it that

1204
00:57:21.400 --> 00:57:23.559
<v Speaker 2>they're going to make a play to go after his brothers,

1205
00:57:23.920 --> 00:57:29.159
<v Speaker 2>oh in New York or New Jersey, you know, because

1206
00:57:29.559 --> 00:57:32.199
<v Speaker 2>they really he wanted to be with his brothers, as

1207
00:57:32.239 --> 00:57:34.719
<v Speaker 2>the rumor, yeah, and want him to be in a

1208
00:57:34.760 --> 00:57:37.519
<v Speaker 2>hockey town. We can't get any more hockey than Minnesota.

1209
00:57:38.480 --> 00:57:41.880
<v Speaker 2>And they're from Michigan. Well, unless you're in Detroit, you're

1210
00:57:41.880 --> 00:57:43.199
<v Speaker 2>not going to get closer to Michigan.

1211
00:57:43.239 --> 00:57:45.800
<v Speaker 3>Than and you're in Minnesota, But is that who they're

1212
00:57:45.800 --> 00:57:47.000
<v Speaker 3>thinking about trading the goalie for.

1213
00:57:47.440 --> 00:57:54.960
<v Speaker 2>No, they're talking about Vincent Trochek, but he's late thirties

1214
00:57:55.039 --> 00:57:57.159
<v Speaker 2>on the tail end of his career, you know, so

1215
00:57:57.400 --> 00:58:00.320
<v Speaker 2>you're not you don't want to give up yeah much.

1216
00:58:00.559 --> 00:58:00.719
<v Speaker 1>You know.

1217
00:58:00.920 --> 00:58:04.760
<v Speaker 3>It's so there's been a rental basically, is what you're saying.

1218
00:58:04.840 --> 00:58:07.280
<v Speaker 3>Kind of like Don Baylor in nineteen eighty seven was

1219
00:58:07.320 --> 00:58:07.840
<v Speaker 3>a rental.

1220
00:58:07.960 --> 00:58:10.159
<v Speaker 1>Oh hold on, I gotta go back up there.

1221
00:58:11.880 --> 00:58:14.199
<v Speaker 3>Who came up huge, by the way in that rental

1222
00:58:14.360 --> 00:58:17.480
<v Speaker 3>role for us? So, I mean he was he was

1223
00:58:17.559 --> 00:58:20.199
<v Speaker 3>pretty key to us winning that World series. He was

1224
00:58:20.239 --> 00:58:23.280
<v Speaker 3>a twin for like two months. But good enough.

1225
00:58:24.199 --> 00:58:26.920
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I mean good enough. It's all you need.

1226
00:58:27.239 --> 00:58:27.480
<v Speaker 5>I was.

1227
00:58:27.840 --> 00:58:31.599
<v Speaker 3>You know, we're all Minnesota fans, so I'm just a

1228
00:58:31.639 --> 00:58:34.079
<v Speaker 3>little jaded, so we used to what happened. I'm just

1229
00:58:34.360 --> 00:58:36.079
<v Speaker 3>I'll wait and see. I don't get my homes up.

1230
00:58:36.039 --> 00:58:39.119
<v Speaker 2>And you're waiting for the shoe to fall, well or

1231
00:58:39.199 --> 00:58:39.960
<v Speaker 2>the hammer to fall.

1232
00:58:40.280 --> 00:58:42.679
<v Speaker 3>We'll watch the series when they played the first playoff

1233
00:58:42.760 --> 00:58:44.719
<v Speaker 3>round and keep our fingers crossed.

1234
00:58:46.360 --> 00:58:48.239
<v Speaker 1>I think it's funny. I mean I should have laughed,

1235
00:58:48.280 --> 00:58:50.039
<v Speaker 1>but at this appointment.

1236
00:58:50.320 --> 00:58:52.559
<v Speaker 3>You're just so done all we've been through a long drought.

1237
00:58:52.599 --> 00:58:55.039
<v Speaker 1>Fure of. It's okay, it's fine, Everything is fine.

1238
00:58:54.800 --> 00:58:58.119
<v Speaker 3>Other than the Timberwolves. So finally one playoff series.

1239
00:58:58.159 --> 00:59:02.920
<v Speaker 2>Easily, of all the cities that have at least three

1240
00:59:03.000 --> 00:59:06.000
<v Speaker 2>major sports franchises, we're in the longest drought.

1241
00:59:06.079 --> 00:59:06.719
<v Speaker 1>Oh, no doubt.

1242
00:59:07.079 --> 00:59:08.519
<v Speaker 2>Championship drought, that's what.

1243
00:59:09.079 --> 00:59:13.119
<v Speaker 3>That's only because the Cavaliers won one NBA title. Other

1244
00:59:13.440 --> 00:59:15.239
<v Speaker 3>Cleveland be just as miserable as us.

1245
00:59:15.480 --> 00:59:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Right, I found it. It took me forever. I can't

1246
00:59:18.400 --> 00:59:20.360
<v Speaker 1>believe I forgot some blades.

1247
00:59:21.639 --> 00:59:25.480
<v Speaker 3>Cleveland the home of Pro Bowl quarterback s Shanders.

1248
00:59:27.320 --> 00:59:29.719
<v Speaker 2>All right, next, speer man me find it.

1249
00:59:29.760 --> 00:59:31.400
<v Speaker 1>I gotta go back up here, get rid of this

1250
00:59:31.480 --> 00:59:35.280
<v Speaker 1>sound too. All right, go ahead.

1251
00:59:36.880 --> 00:59:40.880
<v Speaker 2>We we know who's playing in the Super Bowl. It's

1252
00:59:40.960 --> 00:59:45.599
<v Speaker 2>so we got the uh New England Patriots.

1253
00:59:46.039 --> 00:59:49.880
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back and well grown back.

1254
00:59:50.079 --> 00:59:56.280
<v Speaker 2>The Saint Louis Seattle Seahawks, who happened to be led by.

1255
00:59:56.280 --> 01:00:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Who they're led by. Four Minnesota Ens player was signed

1256
01:00:01.840 --> 01:00:05.360
<v Speaker 1>with the Seattle Sea Chickens last this past year off

1257
01:00:05.440 --> 01:00:07.920
<v Speaker 1>season for US. I think it was a seven year deal,

1258
01:00:09.400 --> 01:00:11.800
<v Speaker 1>A lot a lot of money but good for him.

1259
01:00:12.119 --> 01:00:14.360
<v Speaker 2>It was one of those damned if you do, damned

1260
01:00:14.360 --> 01:00:16.880
<v Speaker 2>if you don't scenarios, you're gonna see people tearing of

1261
01:00:17.039 --> 01:00:19.199
<v Speaker 2>vikings left and right now that they should have re

1262
01:00:19.360 --> 01:00:20.039
<v Speaker 2>signed Donald.

1263
01:00:20.280 --> 01:00:21.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm literally laughing hard about it.

1264
01:00:21.920 --> 01:00:23.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't mind the fact that they didn't resign him,

1265
01:00:23.960 --> 01:00:25.760
<v Speaker 3>because you know, those two last games of course that

1266
01:00:25.840 --> 01:00:28.320
<v Speaker 3>he played were horrific and really his fault that we

1267
01:00:28.400 --> 01:00:31.280
<v Speaker 3>did not win those games. But you got to have

1268
01:00:31.320 --> 01:00:33.840
<v Speaker 3>a better backup plan. I mean putting your trust in

1269
01:00:33.880 --> 01:00:36.679
<v Speaker 3>an unproven quarterback and then bringing in a has been

1270
01:00:36.880 --> 01:00:40.519
<v Speaker 3>as your backup and then you know, it just did

1271
01:00:40.599 --> 01:00:43.280
<v Speaker 3>not It was they didn't prepare well enough for what

1272
01:00:43.559 --> 01:00:46.320
<v Speaker 3>happens if he's not good or if he gets hurt,

1273
01:00:47.199 --> 01:00:50.639
<v Speaker 3>because you got to have two quarterbacks, right, and that's

1274
01:00:50.679 --> 01:00:52.559
<v Speaker 3>where we really fell down. But good for Sam Donald.

1275
01:00:52.639 --> 01:00:54.679
<v Speaker 3>We weren't gonna pay him that money anyway, you know that.

1276
01:00:54.920 --> 01:00:59.800
<v Speaker 2>So he did get the thirty to thirty five per

1277
01:01:00.079 --> 01:01:02.079
<v Speaker 2>Jack did range that. They said it would have taken

1278
01:01:02.119 --> 01:01:08.239
<v Speaker 2>Minnesota to sign him from Seattle. However, there the flip

1279
01:01:08.320 --> 01:01:11.320
<v Speaker 2>side to that argument is they wouldn't have been able

1280
01:01:11.360 --> 01:01:13.679
<v Speaker 2>to sign some of these other pieces that they tried

1281
01:01:14.480 --> 01:01:16.800
<v Speaker 2>site that they signed in order to try and fix,

1282
01:01:16.880 --> 01:01:19.760
<v Speaker 2>like the offensive line. Who one guy wound of missing

1283
01:01:19.800 --> 01:01:21.519
<v Speaker 2>half the year concussion.

1284
01:01:21.280 --> 01:01:23.199
<v Speaker 3>Told you money, well spent there.

1285
01:01:23.800 --> 01:01:27.599
<v Speaker 1>My inside source who's a Giants he's a Giant Colts

1286
01:01:27.639 --> 01:01:29.239
<v Speaker 1>fan told me like, that's a bad idea.

1287
01:01:29.519 --> 01:01:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, he was fifty percent right. I mean it's his

1288
01:01:33.599 --> 01:01:35.519
<v Speaker 2>best friend. It's not an inside source.

1289
01:01:36.800 --> 01:01:38.920
<v Speaker 3>And they still have issues at offensive line, right, So,

1290
01:01:39.280 --> 01:01:42.920
<v Speaker 3>I mean, yeah, it's just I thought it was poor

1291
01:01:43.039 --> 01:01:44.920
<v Speaker 3>planning more you know, anything else.

1292
01:01:46.320 --> 01:01:50.880
<v Speaker 2>At this I was always like, Okay, it's basically McCarthy's

1293
01:01:50.960 --> 01:01:53.239
<v Speaker 2>rookie season. He's gonna have bumps in the road, there's

1294
01:01:53.320 --> 01:01:56.320
<v Speaker 2>gonna be growing pains. He's it's how does he learn

1295
01:01:56.400 --> 01:02:00.119
<v Speaker 2>from it? How does he grow from it? And it

1296
01:02:00.559 --> 01:02:03.079
<v Speaker 2>evolved into the point over the course of the season

1297
01:02:03.199 --> 01:02:06.199
<v Speaker 2>is that it's not a matter of if he's gonna

1298
01:02:06.199 --> 01:02:07.480
<v Speaker 2>get hurt again, it's when.

1299
01:02:08.400 --> 01:02:10.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well, injuries are one part of it. But there

1300
01:02:10.639 --> 01:02:13.119
<v Speaker 3>was time Zhonene he looked horrible. Oh yeah, I mean,

1301
01:02:13.719 --> 01:02:15.760
<v Speaker 3>I mean worse than Christian Ponder.

1302
01:02:15.639 --> 01:02:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Let the bow.

1303
01:02:16.639 --> 01:02:20.239
<v Speaker 3>I mean you couldn't. I mean you watched and went,

1304
01:02:20.280 --> 01:02:22.960
<v Speaker 3>oh my, oh my god, that's the guy, We're gonna

1305
01:02:22.960 --> 01:02:24.880
<v Speaker 3>put everything in he I mean, the throw was so

1306
01:02:25.119 --> 01:02:26.440
<v Speaker 3>far off, but.

1307
01:02:26.519 --> 01:02:28.840
<v Speaker 2>Then he'd make a throw and you're like, holy crap.

1308
01:02:28.679 --> 01:02:31.639
<v Speaker 3>Well I did ran. He ran, so we don't get

1309
01:02:31.719 --> 01:02:33.719
<v Speaker 3>haven't seen that in fifteen twenty years.

1310
01:02:33.800 --> 01:02:35.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Brett, you don't see Brad Johnson on there.

1311
01:02:37.159 --> 01:02:38.320
<v Speaker 2>But he was running for his life.

1312
01:02:38.360 --> 01:02:42.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, he wasn't running purposefully. So well, no, at

1313
01:02:42.400 --> 01:02:44.599
<v Speaker 3>least I think they've acknowledged one that they didn't plan

1314
01:02:44.719 --> 01:02:47.400
<v Speaker 3>well enough, and two they aren't gonna let that happen again,

1315
01:02:47.480 --> 01:02:51.719
<v Speaker 3>where we might have a quality second quarterback other than

1316
01:02:51.880 --> 01:02:53.760
<v Speaker 3>the guy who we hope turns out.

1317
01:02:53.639 --> 01:02:54.039
<v Speaker 1>To be good.

1318
01:02:54.559 --> 01:02:57.559
<v Speaker 2>There there's a floated rumor.

1319
01:02:59.400 --> 01:03:00.480
<v Speaker 3>Berett Farv's coming back.

1320
01:03:00.760 --> 01:03:03.159
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, great, I would love that.

1321
01:03:04.639 --> 01:03:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Eden Geffrey's favorite quarterback has there's it's just hearsay right now,

1322
01:03:12.039 --> 01:03:16.320
<v Speaker 2>there's not any weight. But there's been some trade ideas pitched,

1323
01:03:17.639 --> 01:03:20.559
<v Speaker 2>by the way for who is Joe Burrow?

1324
01:03:21.000 --> 01:03:24.280
<v Speaker 3>That's right, Yeah, he's been linked to us, you know,

1325
01:03:24.519 --> 01:03:25.440
<v Speaker 3>So would.

1326
01:03:25.280 --> 01:03:32.519
<v Speaker 2>You trade JJ McCarthy and a first drum pick for

1327
01:03:33.119 --> 01:03:33.679
<v Speaker 2>Joe Burrow?

1328
01:03:35.079 --> 01:03:35.440
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

1329
01:03:35.559 --> 01:03:36.400
<v Speaker 3>Probably why not.

1330
01:03:37.400 --> 01:03:41.559
<v Speaker 2>He's at least proven, he's been to a Super Bowl Dustin?

1331
01:03:42.079 --> 01:03:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Was it Dustin or Brewster, but he's been hurt the

1332
01:03:44.079 --> 01:03:44.920
<v Speaker 2>last couple of years.

1333
01:03:45.000 --> 01:03:46.679
<v Speaker 1>I think it was Dustin, and I agree too. He

1334
01:03:46.760 --> 01:03:49.519
<v Speaker 1>has been hurt a lot. And I mean, great, your

1335
01:03:50.800 --> 01:03:53.800
<v Speaker 1>this is great fantasy wise for if you're playing Madden,

1336
01:03:54.039 --> 01:03:55.760
<v Speaker 1>but the real word they're working. You look at the

1337
01:03:55.840 --> 01:03:59.719
<v Speaker 1>cap of this. He has a lot of money tied

1338
01:03:59.760 --> 01:04:01.559
<v Speaker 1>in it. And then you'll look at the other cap

1339
01:04:01.639 --> 01:04:04.679
<v Speaker 1>from JJ if you're sending him, Look at that signing

1340
01:04:04.760 --> 01:04:07.119
<v Speaker 1>the other side of it. How much money you're going

1341
01:04:07.199 --> 01:04:08.119
<v Speaker 1>to be giving him if.

1342
01:04:08.039 --> 01:04:11.679
<v Speaker 3>He leaves well, and when we you know, when you

1343
01:04:11.760 --> 01:04:15.960
<v Speaker 3>think about the salary cap, that just will limit us

1344
01:04:15.960 --> 01:04:18.679
<v Speaker 3>because we clearly need other people. I mean, we can't

1345
01:04:18.760 --> 01:04:21.079
<v Speaker 3>just rely on who we come coming back with.

1346
01:04:21.639 --> 01:04:26.239
<v Speaker 2>So the pitch was JJ McCarthy Jonathan Grenard, who may

1347
01:04:26.280 --> 01:04:27.880
<v Speaker 2>be a cap casualty anyways.

1348
01:04:28.039 --> 01:04:29.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh, because I was gonna say, we don't want to

1349
01:04:29.400 --> 01:04:29.800
<v Speaker 3>lose him.

1350
01:04:29.840 --> 01:04:33.760
<v Speaker 2>He's good and a first round pick for Joe Burrow Brow.

1351
01:04:35.119 --> 01:04:36.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but then we wouldn't have any money to do

1352
01:04:36.639 --> 01:04:39.239
<v Speaker 3>anything else, just like Cousins Contra screwed us.

1353
01:04:39.519 --> 01:04:44.079
<v Speaker 2>But so what they're saying is that Grenard may be

1354
01:04:44.159 --> 01:04:48.519
<v Speaker 2>a cap casualty as well as Hawkinson and Turner showed

1355
01:04:48.639 --> 01:04:51.320
<v Speaker 2>enough flashes this year that he may be able to

1356
01:04:51.400 --> 01:04:55.639
<v Speaker 2>slide in and replace Grenard, but Hackinson hasn't been the

1357
01:04:55.719 --> 01:04:59.400
<v Speaker 2>same since his knee injury. Thanks Detroit, Well that just happened.

1358
01:04:59.679 --> 01:05:01.719
<v Speaker 3>All your honey on the Bengals next year because that

1359
01:05:01.840 --> 01:05:04.400
<v Speaker 3>means whoever we has as a quarterback and give up,

1360
01:05:04.440 --> 01:05:06.400
<v Speaker 3>they're going to win the Super Bowl. So McCarthy is

1361
01:05:06.400 --> 01:05:08.599
<v Speaker 3>going to turn into a stud and win it with Cincinnati.

1362
01:05:09.400 --> 01:05:11.760
<v Speaker 1>That would be classic Minnesota.

1363
01:05:12.639 --> 01:05:15.320
<v Speaker 3>It'd be a miracle because Cincinnati is worse than we are,

1364
01:05:15.440 --> 01:05:17.239
<v Speaker 3>but they do have good receivers.

1365
01:05:19.320 --> 01:05:21.639
<v Speaker 1>This is what I sent the gift to the guys,

1366
01:05:21.679 --> 01:05:25.599
<v Speaker 1>all these Viking fans. Uh, it's a Lloyd Christmas on

1367
01:05:25.639 --> 01:05:28.480
<v Speaker 1>a scooter. Just laughing when as soon as Sam Donald

1368
01:05:28.519 --> 01:05:30.599
<v Speaker 1>made it, Oh yeah, I just giggled.

1369
01:05:30.679 --> 01:05:33.119
<v Speaker 3>Well, my oldest daughter texted me, I'm so sorry to

1370
01:05:33.159 --> 01:05:36.199
<v Speaker 3>add about how you know? Sam Donald? I'm like, what't

1371
01:05:36.239 --> 01:05:38.360
<v Speaker 3>you sorry? It's good for him, It's our fault.

1372
01:05:38.639 --> 01:05:41.639
<v Speaker 2>Well, he's just really good.

1373
01:05:41.719 --> 01:05:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Thing.

1374
01:05:42.079 --> 01:05:43.800
<v Speaker 2>He showed that he could overcome.

1375
01:05:44.679 --> 01:05:46.840
<v Speaker 1>Right. He's been through a lot too, a lot of

1376
01:05:46.880 --> 01:05:47.400
<v Speaker 1>different teams.

1377
01:05:47.639 --> 01:05:48.760
<v Speaker 3>I think everybody can pull from.

1378
01:05:48.800 --> 01:05:49.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

1379
01:05:49.199 --> 01:05:50.719
<v Speaker 3>I don't feel bad for him, and it was a

1380
01:05:50.760 --> 01:05:52.880
<v Speaker 3>decision we made. I don't necessarily disagree it was the

1381
01:05:52.960 --> 01:05:57.159
<v Speaker 3>right decision based on the circumstance, but obviously, yeah, he's

1382
01:05:57.239 --> 01:05:59.480
<v Speaker 3>made it through, and good for him because there was

1383
01:05:59.639 --> 01:06:01.000
<v Speaker 3>you know, I don't think any of us doubted he

1384
01:06:01.039 --> 01:06:03.320
<v Speaker 3>could play. He got us to fourteen and three, right,

1385
01:06:03.400 --> 01:06:06.239
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that's pretty good, and he was definitely not

1386
01:06:06.320 --> 01:06:09.000
<v Speaker 3>a case Keenum where that was just like a one

1387
01:06:09.559 --> 01:06:10.840
<v Speaker 3>in a dark miracle.

1388
01:06:10.960 --> 01:06:12.840
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, he's still playing. He's a third

1389
01:06:12.840 --> 01:06:15.239
<v Speaker 1>three quarterback for the for the Texans, is he really yep?

1390
01:06:15.760 --> 01:06:18.360
<v Speaker 2>Was the backup quarterback for the Bears this year.

1391
01:06:18.679 --> 01:06:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I thought he was with the Texas, but he's

1392
01:06:20.400 --> 01:06:21.000
<v Speaker 1>still in the league.

1393
01:06:21.079 --> 01:06:22.519
<v Speaker 3>Well yeah, well why not.

1394
01:06:23.360 --> 01:06:25.239
<v Speaker 2>He was Caleb Williams backup this year.

1395
01:06:25.599 --> 01:06:29.719
<v Speaker 3>Jesus Chris Keenum still around, Christian Ponder is not playing, right,

1396
01:06:29.920 --> 01:06:31.280
<v Speaker 3>he's not a backup anywhere.

1397
01:06:31.320 --> 01:06:32.880
<v Speaker 1>His wife is around though. It's all got to know.

1398
01:06:34.519 --> 01:06:34.760
<v Speaker 2>Good.

1399
01:06:35.280 --> 01:06:39.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't know, But from a Super Bowl perspective,

1400
01:06:39.199 --> 01:06:43.320
<v Speaker 3>I could care less. I really don't. The Patriots have

1401
01:06:43.400 --> 01:06:46.880
<v Speaker 3>won enough, but I do like how they've re resurrected themselves.

1402
01:06:47.079 --> 01:06:50.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. It feels different though, because they actually did have

1403
01:06:50.960 --> 01:06:52.039
<v Speaker 2>a couple down years.

1404
01:06:52.239 --> 01:06:53.840
<v Speaker 3>Yes, and they have different people.

1405
01:06:53.880 --> 01:06:56.159
<v Speaker 2>And so yeah, it's not Bill Check and they're still

1406
01:06:56.840 --> 01:07:00.840
<v Speaker 2>and all these other people. But I I really wanted

1407
01:07:00.920 --> 01:07:03.599
<v Speaker 2>to see Josh Allen finally everybody.

1408
01:07:03.800 --> 01:07:04.639
<v Speaker 3>Oh they got hosed.

1409
01:07:04.760 --> 01:07:05.239
<v Speaker 1>Speak of that.

1410
01:07:05.679 --> 01:07:06.639
<v Speaker 2>What's the catch, Brian?

1411
01:07:08.000 --> 01:07:08.199
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

1412
01:07:09.239 --> 01:07:14.559
<v Speaker 3>And the interference calls come on. I mean it was

1413
01:07:14.599 --> 01:07:17.039
<v Speaker 3>pretty brutal for them. I feel bad for Buffalo fans.

1414
01:07:17.039 --> 01:07:20.199
<v Speaker 3>They're like Minnesota, man, there's nobody that can feel our

1415
01:07:20.239 --> 01:07:23.880
<v Speaker 3>pain anymore so than the Bill fans and Bill's mafia

1416
01:07:23.960 --> 01:07:24.960
<v Speaker 3>because they've been through it.

1417
01:07:25.280 --> 01:07:29.199
<v Speaker 2>Sean McDermott was this era's version of Andy Reid in Philadelphia?

1418
01:07:29.360 --> 01:07:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Yeah?

1419
01:07:30.400 --> 01:07:30.760
<v Speaker 2>How many?

1420
01:07:31.079 --> 01:07:32.440
<v Speaker 3>How many chances are you gonna get?

1421
01:07:32.599 --> 01:07:32.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

1422
01:07:33.639 --> 01:07:34.920
<v Speaker 3>And was it the coach's fault?

1423
01:07:34.960 --> 01:07:35.119
<v Speaker 4>Though?

1424
01:07:35.239 --> 01:07:35.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

1425
01:07:37.079 --> 01:07:42.000
<v Speaker 1>I felt bad for, uh, for the Ravens because Tomlin,

1426
01:07:42.159 --> 01:07:45.920
<v Speaker 1>like Tom allegedly stepped down, but I think he was

1427
01:07:45.920 --> 01:07:47.119
<v Speaker 1>gonna get ship canned anyways.

1428
01:07:47.760 --> 01:07:50.639
<v Speaker 3>But uh, the Steelers, Yeah, yeah, the Ravens.

1429
01:07:50.840 --> 01:07:55.280
<v Speaker 1>The Ravens, Yeah, well, they just kind of weird. But

1430
01:07:55.400 --> 01:07:56.000
<v Speaker 1>it's crazy.

1431
01:07:56.199 --> 01:07:57.119
<v Speaker 2>What's crazy is.

1432
01:08:00.000 --> 01:08:00.360
<v Speaker 1>Harbaugh?

1433
01:08:01.360 --> 01:08:04.719
<v Speaker 2>Tomlin and who else was the third one Dustin mentioned.

1434
01:08:05.400 --> 01:08:06.320
<v Speaker 1>All had.

1435
01:08:09.159 --> 01:08:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Great regular season records, but the seasons that they had

1436
01:08:14.119 --> 01:08:17.600
<v Speaker 2>bad years, their starting quarterback missed at least four games

1437
01:08:18.880 --> 01:08:20.800
<v Speaker 2>and they happened to miss the playoffs those years.

1438
01:08:21.720 --> 01:08:23.479
<v Speaker 3>But you got to win the big one eventually, right.

1439
01:08:24.039 --> 01:08:26.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, Tomlin won one back and for.

1440
01:08:26.560 --> 01:08:29.039
<v Speaker 3>His first year, I think, yeah, a long time ago.

1441
01:08:31.640 --> 01:08:33.520
<v Speaker 3>Same with Harbaugh. Hading won one in a while, which

1442
01:08:33.560 --> 01:08:34.279
<v Speaker 3>is what's frustrating.

1443
01:08:34.439 --> 01:08:37.520
<v Speaker 2>Twelve or thirteen, they had their opportunities, right well, and

1444
01:08:37.600 --> 01:08:39.199
<v Speaker 2>you're wasting l Lamar's prime.

1445
01:08:39.439 --> 01:08:42.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and look at us. O'Connell hasn't won a playoff game.

1446
01:08:44.920 --> 01:08:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, I like O'Connell, But at the same time, Mike got.

1447
01:08:48.640 --> 01:08:50.439
<v Speaker 3>To win a game in the postseason. I mean, same

1448
01:08:50.479 --> 01:08:52.359
<v Speaker 3>with the wild I mean, you just can't keep going

1449
01:08:52.399 --> 01:08:55.880
<v Speaker 3>in perpetual motion, just getting there. That's Minnesota in a nutshell, right,

1450
01:08:58.159 --> 01:09:00.520
<v Speaker 3>just good enough to be okay, good enough okay, and

1451
01:09:00.600 --> 01:09:02.159
<v Speaker 3>get a mediocre draft pick.

1452
01:09:02.319 --> 01:09:05.279
<v Speaker 2>That's yeah, we're always kind of rebuilt. We're always drafting

1453
01:09:05.359 --> 01:09:07.920
<v Speaker 2>in the load of mid twenties because we're just good

1454
01:09:08.039 --> 01:09:10.239
<v Speaker 2>enough but not quite good enough to get over the hill.

1455
01:09:11.079 --> 01:09:15.039
<v Speaker 3>So personally, I don't know if I'll even care you

1456
01:09:15.119 --> 01:09:17.760
<v Speaker 3>know who wins, but go for Sam Darnold. I guess

1457
01:09:17.880 --> 01:09:19.359
<v Speaker 3>just to rub it into us even.

1458
01:09:19.199 --> 01:09:21.760
<v Speaker 1>More, I've I know if you want to talk about it,

1459
01:09:21.760 --> 01:09:24.720
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna do a Super Bowl party at your place.

1460
01:09:25.600 --> 01:09:27.399
<v Speaker 1>I do have Silver Bullet. Guys are gonna be over,

1461
01:09:27.520 --> 01:09:31.359
<v Speaker 1>so Sam and uh Travis Trafts will be over, so

1462
01:09:31.399 --> 01:09:33.720
<v Speaker 1>it'll be nice. Kenny's a hit, miss you may or

1463
01:09:33.760 --> 01:09:36.119
<v Speaker 1>may not. Kind of got beat out on that one,

1464
01:09:36.880 --> 01:09:39.760
<v Speaker 1>but I plan on making wings like I have been doing.

1465
01:09:40.279 --> 01:09:42.279
<v Speaker 1>Wanton's take a little bit of time. I found out

1466
01:09:42.479 --> 01:09:44.119
<v Speaker 1>I did buy a.

1467
01:09:44.880 --> 01:09:48.680
<v Speaker 2>Pork roast, so smoke some pulled pork.

1468
01:09:49.520 --> 01:09:52.520
<v Speaker 3>They still the two weeks off though, Right's yeah, this Sunday, it's.

1469
01:09:52.439 --> 01:09:53.119
<v Speaker 1>The next Sunday.

1470
01:09:53.319 --> 01:09:57.239
<v Speaker 2>This Sunday is the joke of a Pro Bowl football

1471
01:09:57.640 --> 01:09:59.319
<v Speaker 2>and now it's just a skills competition.

1472
01:10:00.159 --> 01:10:01.840
<v Speaker 1>And then I missed the old Do you remember the

1473
01:10:01.960 --> 01:10:04.279
<v Speaker 1>Quarterback Club? There was a video game, the Super Nintendo

1474
01:10:04.319 --> 01:10:07.279
<v Speaker 1>had a game called Quarterback Club, and it was the

1475
01:10:07.520 --> 01:10:10.800
<v Speaker 1>best to me football game out there. And I love

1476
01:10:10.880 --> 01:10:15.720
<v Speaker 1>that damn thing you would like game? Sorry, sorry, coach,

1477
01:10:16.079 --> 01:10:18.560
<v Speaker 1>I did I have it? Actually second first and second

1478
01:10:18.560 --> 01:10:21.520
<v Speaker 1>one up actually upstairs a loft on the PlayStation two.

1479
01:10:22.039 --> 01:10:23.640
<v Speaker 2>Why don't you wheel?

1480
01:10:24.279 --> 01:10:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh shit, okay, spin Okay, it's that one then Heed.

1481
01:10:31.239 --> 01:10:35.800
<v Speaker 4>Time, Now just spin the wheel. That time I went

1482
01:10:35.840 --> 01:10:39.079
<v Speaker 4>to the bed smoked meats. You messed up a ron

1483
01:10:39.279 --> 01:10:43.840
<v Speaker 4>dots on soccer, balls on women. It's top lights video games.

1484
01:10:44.159 --> 01:10:47.439
<v Speaker 1>So we're all video gamers. Might as ll us do this.

1485
01:10:48.199 --> 01:10:50.840
<v Speaker 1>What's some of the best video games you played? H Brian,

1486
01:10:51.079 --> 01:10:53.439
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, I mean you talked about you talked

1487
01:10:53.439 --> 01:10:55.640
<v Speaker 1>about pac Man and Pong and stuff. Already.

1488
01:10:55.880 --> 01:10:59.199
<v Speaker 3>What time frame, what ever? Through the beginnings to now.

1489
01:10:59.279 --> 01:11:01.680
<v Speaker 2>The eras have all their defining games.

1490
01:11:02.199 --> 01:11:04.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean for me personally, I just remember we

1491
01:11:05.119 --> 01:11:07.560
<v Speaker 3>really loved in television football. That was kind of the

1492
01:11:07.600 --> 01:11:10.319
<v Speaker 3>first football game. I remember the play with it. We

1493
01:11:10.399 --> 01:11:13.479
<v Speaker 3>did that. I always scored, like the end around, but

1494
01:11:13.680 --> 01:11:16.119
<v Speaker 3>of course, you know, it was kind of hokey graphics

1495
01:11:16.159 --> 01:11:20.079
<v Speaker 3>and things like that. Then first Nintendo game Man. That

1496
01:11:20.199 --> 01:11:21.920
<v Speaker 3>was when I was in college, so we played all

1497
01:11:22.079 --> 01:11:24.000
<v Speaker 3>and we kept, you know, track of the games and

1498
01:11:24.079 --> 01:11:26.039
<v Speaker 3>all of that. Hockey of course, was part of that.

1499
01:11:26.760 --> 01:11:28.720
<v Speaker 3>Zelda was a big game back then too.

1500
01:11:28.880 --> 01:11:33.159
<v Speaker 1>I mean that I still play that too. Yeah, the original, they've.

1501
01:11:33.000 --> 01:11:37.000
<v Speaker 3>Got new versions now too original updated, But yeah, Zelda

1502
01:11:37.119 --> 01:11:40.680
<v Speaker 3>was one of the original Obviously you got Super Mario Brothers,

1503
01:11:40.720 --> 01:11:43.720
<v Speaker 3>and then Sega Genesis came along, so Sonic the Hedgehog

1504
01:11:44.600 --> 01:11:46.680
<v Speaker 3>and all of that. That was the eighties and that's

1505
01:11:46.760 --> 01:11:49.399
<v Speaker 3>kind of what that kind of the heyday of video

1506
01:11:49.439 --> 01:11:53.439
<v Speaker 3>games from a beginnings perspective. And now, man, I you know,

1507
01:11:53.720 --> 01:11:56.680
<v Speaker 3>I've got what you know, I'm trying to think of

1508
01:11:56.720 --> 01:11:59.119
<v Speaker 3>what games I've been playing. I haven't played many recently,

1509
01:12:00.039 --> 01:12:02.039
<v Speaker 3>and most of them now don't even require a disc

1510
01:12:02.199 --> 01:12:02.600
<v Speaker 3>you can use.

1511
01:12:02.720 --> 01:12:04.119
<v Speaker 1>That's my five.

1512
01:12:04.439 --> 01:12:08.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't like that, no, no, because and so there's

1513
01:12:08.439 --> 01:12:14.039
<v Speaker 2>actually some debate going around now too about if you

1514
01:12:14.159 --> 01:12:16.920
<v Speaker 2>spend sixty dollars for the license, do you own the

1515
01:12:16.960 --> 01:12:20.760
<v Speaker 2>game or not, because now you've got they're taking the

1516
01:12:20.840 --> 01:12:23.159
<v Speaker 2>server down after so long, even though you paid for.

1517
01:12:23.439 --> 01:12:25.640
<v Speaker 3>Oh sure, yeah, when it's kind of out of date

1518
01:12:25.720 --> 01:12:28.840
<v Speaker 3>now and they're ending it's run per se. Yeah, good point.

1519
01:12:28.920 --> 01:12:31.199
<v Speaker 3>I mean otherwise, I I like it because then that

1520
01:12:31.319 --> 01:12:34.319
<v Speaker 3>stupid disc can't get scratched and the game is ruined

1521
01:12:34.760 --> 01:12:38.439
<v Speaker 3>and you know, halfway through or whatever. But I did

1522
01:12:38.479 --> 01:12:41.520
<v Speaker 3>the far Cry games. I like the Red Damp four,

1523
01:12:41.760 --> 01:12:47.960
<v Speaker 3>Red Dead, Redemption right too. And I Fallout fall I've.

1524
01:12:47.840 --> 01:12:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Not played all the Fallouts. I played like the beginning ones.

1525
01:12:51.000 --> 01:12:52.239
<v Speaker 2>I did a lot of Call of Duty.

1526
01:12:52.479 --> 01:12:53.800
<v Speaker 1>I did play a lot of car like in the

1527
01:12:53.840 --> 01:12:56.640
<v Speaker 1>heydays were like black Opps Black Ops two with the

1528
01:12:56.760 --> 01:12:58.199
<v Speaker 1>lobbies were electric.

1529
01:12:58.560 --> 01:13:02.279
<v Speaker 2>It got it got a little re gurgitated and recycled.

1530
01:13:02.439 --> 01:13:04.359
<v Speaker 3>And I like the things with missions and accomplished. And

1531
01:13:04.359 --> 01:13:06.279
<v Speaker 3>that's when it's open like that, and you're playing against

1532
01:13:06.319 --> 01:13:07.560
<v Speaker 3>other people that just didn't appeal the.

1533
01:13:07.640 --> 01:13:11.680
<v Speaker 2>Open like Fortnite, yeah, you know, and where Call of

1534
01:13:11.800 --> 01:13:16.199
<v Speaker 2>Duty moved like I love the storyline. Yeah, yeah, you know,

1535
01:13:16.319 --> 01:13:18.840
<v Speaker 2>like the World War two one that was awesome.

1536
01:13:19.359 --> 01:13:22.199
<v Speaker 3>Just like oh you had said it earlier, I forget

1537
01:13:22.239 --> 01:13:26.199
<v Speaker 3>the Assassin's Creed. Yeah, there's a storytelling, right, I mean

1538
01:13:26.279 --> 01:13:30.159
<v Speaker 3>it's not open and then it's both. It's both, right yeah, yeah,

1539
01:13:30.640 --> 01:13:32.000
<v Speaker 3>just like Red Dead all right, you.

1540
01:13:32.079 --> 01:13:37.079
<v Speaker 1>Were soft guys who make Assassin Creed whatever, they're sitting

1541
01:13:37.119 --> 01:13:39.840
<v Speaker 1>closed the door that closes like for their studios and

1542
01:13:40.119 --> 01:13:40.800
<v Speaker 1>cut a lot of people.

1543
01:13:41.000 --> 01:13:41.319
<v Speaker 3>Bummer.

1544
01:13:41.560 --> 01:13:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So they've already hashed or kind of put away some.

1545
01:13:44.640 --> 01:13:46.560
<v Speaker 3>Of the they've done a million of those things.

1546
01:13:46.640 --> 01:13:50.119
<v Speaker 2>So I'm a big history nerd me too, and I

1547
01:13:50.159 --> 01:13:52.920
<v Speaker 2>would I've always told a couple of my buddies that

1548
01:13:53.159 --> 01:13:55.720
<v Speaker 2>are big into Assassin's Creed, I would have loved to

1549
01:13:55.840 --> 01:14:00.199
<v Speaker 2>see a World War two era like Assassin's screen where

1550
01:14:00.199 --> 01:14:01.840
<v Speaker 2>they're trying to like battle the Nazis.

1551
01:14:01.920 --> 01:14:03.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, in the Japanese and all that.

1552
01:14:04.000 --> 01:14:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I always thought that would be cool.

1553
01:14:07.439 --> 01:14:08.840
<v Speaker 3>I think it would be cool if they just did

1554
01:14:08.880 --> 01:14:11.560
<v Speaker 3>a whole revolutionary war game like Call of Duty, except

1555
01:14:11.640 --> 01:14:19.279
<v Speaker 3>with a revolutionary war everything weapons, strategy, geography, try to

1556
01:14:19.359 --> 01:14:21.239
<v Speaker 3>win America's independence.

1557
01:14:21.760 --> 01:14:23.079
<v Speaker 2>There's a board game called Risk.

1558
01:14:23.520 --> 01:14:27.199
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, that game takes forever and it never never,

1559
01:14:27.359 --> 01:14:29.760
<v Speaker 1>like never finished, just like Monopoly. Nobody ever finished the

1560
01:14:29.800 --> 01:14:31.840
<v Speaker 1>game Monopoly. Someone always flips that god damn bored over

1561
01:14:32.479 --> 01:14:32.880
<v Speaker 1>out of here.

1562
01:14:33.840 --> 01:14:34.199
<v Speaker 3>Funny.

<v Speaker 1>But yeah, that's some of the video games. Like what

1564
01:14:37.520 --> 01:14:39.840
<v Speaker 1>I play right now. It's like a SIM Cities game,

1565
01:14:40.000 --> 01:14:44.399
<v Speaker 1>but it's called ship It's some city. That's not the name,

1566
01:14:44.479 --> 01:14:51.039
<v Speaker 1>but it's some that is a word for some city.

1567

1573
01:15:11.319 --> 01:15:14.439
<v Speaker 2>I loved Target. Do you remember when it first came

1574
01:15:14.479 --> 01:15:18.520
<v Speaker 2>out on the PS one? And if you would play multiplayer,

1575
01:15:18.960 --> 01:15:21.840
<v Speaker 2>you could while your opponent was playing, you could push

1576
01:15:21.880 --> 01:15:24.439
<v Speaker 2>buttons and it'd be like like he was playing with

1577
01:15:24.560 --> 01:15:26.720
<v Speaker 2>his glove and stuff.

1578
01:15:26.920 --> 01:15:33.079
<v Speaker 1>Nice. We had Halo as ours and we had guys

1579
01:15:33.159 --> 01:15:36.640
<v Speaker 1>in the other room go to four against four. It

1580
01:15:36.800 --> 01:15:37.720
<v Speaker 1>was the greatest time.

1581
01:15:37.760 --> 01:15:38.000
<v Speaker 4>You hear.

1582
01:15:40.000 --> 01:15:41.680
<v Speaker 2>They used to do that when I was going to

1583
01:15:42.000 --> 01:15:44.439
<v Speaker 2>school at bs U up in Oak Hall. On the

1584
01:15:44.600 --> 01:15:51.479
<v Speaker 2>very top floor is basically just giant open areas and

1585
01:15:51.560 --> 01:15:53.119
<v Speaker 2>there was some kitchen nets in there and whatnot, and

1586
01:15:53.199 --> 01:15:57.319
<v Speaker 2>we would do some events and stuff in there. But

1587
01:15:57.600 --> 01:16:01.079
<v Speaker 2>there was guys that Yeah, they would have land parties

1588
01:16:01.119 --> 01:16:01.439
<v Speaker 2>in there.

1589
01:16:02.199 --> 01:16:03.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we ever did that at the You.

<v Speaker 1>the music. So kids keep trying to find the music

1607
01:16:46.680 --> 01:16:46.880

1608
01:16:47.520 --> 01:16:47.640
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

01:16:55.079 --> 01:16:57.880
<v Speaker 3>And if you talk about our fantasy football.

01:16:57.600 --> 01:17:00.800
<v Speaker 2>League would be a source up.

1614
01:17:00.880 --> 01:17:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah for you or not? Sorry, you got your teeth

1615
01:17:02.960 --> 01:17:03.279
<v Speaker 1>kicked in.

1616
01:17:03.600 --> 01:17:05.600
<v Speaker 3>But I finished, like then, I finished kind of middle

1617
01:17:05.640 --> 01:17:06.079
<v Speaker 3>of the road.

1618
01:17:06.640 --> 01:17:08.479
<v Speaker 2>We were talking about it. At one point, I got.

1619
01:17:08.399 --> 01:17:09.199
<v Speaker 3>To five hundred.

1620
01:17:09.600 --> 01:17:14.720
<v Speaker 2>You at one point you had like top ten or

1621
01:17:14.920 --> 01:17:17.600
<v Speaker 2>top five in points scored, but you also had the

1622
01:17:17.640 --> 01:17:18.479
<v Speaker 2>most points.

1623
01:17:18.239 --> 01:17:21.520
<v Speaker 3>Scored against me. Yeah, that's usually how it works for me.

1624
01:17:21.600 --> 01:17:23.680
<v Speaker 3>But I thought I got back to five hundred because

1625
01:17:23.680 --> 01:17:25.880
<v Speaker 3>it was brutal at the beginning. I'm like, oh, I embarrassed.

1626
01:17:25.880 --> 01:17:27.920
<v Speaker 1>I've never seen it, and I think I became last.

1730
01:22:57.720 --> 01:23:03.520
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna test Matt's memory on some recycled Wiskipedia.

1731
01:23:03.880 --> 01:23:08.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm very very nervous on this, so it's it's not

1732
01:23:09.680 --> 01:23:11.680
<v Speaker 1>Bruce always say Bruce, and I always say, like, if

1733
01:23:11.720 --> 01:23:13.039
<v Speaker 1>we get one, that's good.

1734
01:23:13.119 --> 01:23:14.199
<v Speaker 2>They're not that hard.

1735
01:23:14.600 --> 01:23:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Okay, do you like trivia, Brian.

1736
01:23:17.760 --> 01:23:20.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't mind. It depends on what kind of

1737
01:23:20.039 --> 01:23:22.199
<v Speaker 3>trivia and good at sports and music?

1738
01:23:23.079 --> 01:23:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Well a lot of it's just general, allegedly wide encompassing.

1739
01:23:27.159 --> 01:23:30.039
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Okay, Remember this guy has two business degrees. He's

1740
01:23:30.119 --> 01:23:33.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of smart, so he when Bruce and I Bruce, Okay,

1741
01:23:33.760 --> 01:23:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Bruce knows this, and I don't like you saying it.

1742
01:23:35.640 --> 01:23:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say anyways, he didn't graduate from high school.

1743
01:23:38.760 --> 01:23:42.479
<v Speaker 1>I barely passed. I have a lot of friends. I'm

1744
01:23:42.479 --> 01:23:43.159
<v Speaker 1>a salesman too.

1745
01:23:43.279 --> 01:23:46.359
<v Speaker 3>But anyway, so this is more general knowledge pursuit.

1746
01:23:46.800 --> 01:23:49.119
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, bar trivia.

1747
01:23:49.520 --> 01:23:53.079
<v Speaker 1>Okay, it's tough though, but we'll do when do misconnection first?

1748
01:23:53.119 --> 01:23:55.479
<v Speaker 1>You want to do Wiskipedia, Oh, don't break that.

1749
01:23:56.359 --> 01:23:59.199
<v Speaker 2>You can do yours. Okay, I'll figure out which one.

1750
01:23:59.239 --> 01:24:03.239
<v Speaker 4>I'm we'd rather just read something that other people wrote

1751
01:24:03.439 --> 01:24:09.399
<v Speaker 4>and poorly at that. It's time for misconnections with Matt Jeffrin.

1752
01:24:10.640 --> 01:24:17.560
<v Speaker 1>All Right, this first one is in Evanstone. Has anyone

1753
01:24:17.640 --> 01:24:21.760
<v Speaker 1>ever had a misconnection here? I feel this is a

1754
01:24:21.800 --> 01:24:24.800
<v Speaker 1>little crazy to post, but I figured it's worth a shot,

1755
01:24:24.920 --> 01:24:28.560
<v Speaker 1>if only to finally make peace with that what feels

1756
01:24:28.640 --> 01:24:32.760
<v Speaker 1>like a misconnection typically a shy person, which is why

1757
01:24:32.880 --> 01:24:35.159
<v Speaker 1>I did not approach him in the moment, and hopefully

1758
01:24:35.279 --> 01:24:39.239
<v Speaker 1>people would not be too unkind for me to be

1759
01:24:39.319 --> 01:24:44.880
<v Speaker 1>sharing my experience. Last spring or summer, headed out shopping

1760
01:24:44.960 --> 01:24:48.039
<v Speaker 1>with a family member near Saint Luke's Church in Evanstone.

1761
01:24:48.760 --> 01:24:53.359
<v Speaker 1>Standing nearby a man with black, dark hair and dark features,

1762
01:24:54.079 --> 01:24:57.720
<v Speaker 1>partly next to his parked car, possibly a hon this

1763
01:24:58.199 --> 01:25:03.439
<v Speaker 1>cr or something similar. We locked eyes and there was

1764
01:25:03.479 --> 01:25:06.800
<v Speaker 1>a There was something that about that moment stayed with me.

1765
01:25:07.319 --> 01:25:09.359
<v Speaker 1>Even as I walked away, I turned my head and

1766
01:25:09.439 --> 01:25:13.239
<v Speaker 1>saw him watch me, watch with a with with what

1767
01:25:13.479 --> 01:25:18.159
<v Speaker 1>felt like a calm and warm presence. I didn't truly intrust. Sorry,

1768
01:25:18.159 --> 01:25:26.640
<v Speaker 1>I didn't feel intrusive, distasteful, or uncomfortable. I felt simply different.

1769
01:25:27.800 --> 01:25:30.079
<v Speaker 1>I brushed it off at first, thinking it was overthinking

1770
01:25:30.159 --> 01:25:32.720
<v Speaker 1>a passing moment, but the family member with me commented

1771
01:25:32.800 --> 01:25:35.640
<v Speaker 1>on the peaceful look in his eyes and how gently

1772
01:25:35.720 --> 01:25:38.680
<v Speaker 1>he watched me as I walked away. I have no

1773
01:25:38.840 --> 01:25:43.000
<v Speaker 1>expectations and understand that life doesn't always bring people back together.

1774
01:25:44.079 --> 01:25:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to share this. Has anyone Has anyone

1775
01:25:46.800 --> 01:25:55.439
<v Speaker 1>ever experienced a misconnection in Evanstone? Hmmm? Have you experience

1776
01:25:55.479 --> 01:25:56.880
<v Speaker 1>a misconnection? Name where Scott?

1777
01:25:59.239 --> 01:26:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Not that I felt need to put you onto the internet.

1778
01:26:02.239 --> 01:26:05.199
<v Speaker 1>And it's always the best, So Brian, if you don't,

1779
01:26:05.279 --> 01:26:07.760
<v Speaker 1>if you, if you forgot what misconnections? I basically read

1780

1781
01:26:10.079 --> 01:26:12.800

01:26:35.479 --> 01:26:39.119
<v Speaker 1>and we hit it off immediately. I got her first

1789
01:26:39.239 --> 01:26:42.800
<v Speaker 1>name in neighborhood before she left, but foolishly didn't ask

1790
01:26:42.880 --> 01:26:45.960
<v Speaker 1>for a contact detail as nerves got the better of me.

1791
01:26:46.760 --> 01:26:50.000
<v Speaker 1>She's not my usual type, but I felt a little kicking.

1792
01:26:50.119 --> 01:26:52.399
<v Speaker 1>I felt, I felt I've been kicking myself just a

1793
01:26:52.479 --> 01:26:59.119
<v Speaker 1>little bit for not seizing a glaring opportunity. Do I

1794
01:26:59.399 --> 01:27:01.920
<v Speaker 1>just let her go use it for a learning curve

1795
01:27:02.079 --> 01:27:04.000
<v Speaker 1>or somehow trying to find her in the city of

1796
01:27:04.199 --> 01:27:06.520
<v Speaker 1>roughly nine million people.

1797
01:27:06.760 --> 01:27:08.520
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I definitely think you should try to find her.

<v Speaker 1>To start Facebook stocking her. Uh.

01:27:16.039 --> 01:27:18.399

<v Speaker 3>you find her.

1803
01:27:19.119 --> 01:27:22.680

01:36:31.239 --> 01:36:31.680
<v Speaker 1>That's what it is.

1975
01:36:32.279 --> 01:36:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Do you remember the bud Light frogs? Yeah, I do,

1976

<v Speaker 2>early or the Budweiser frogs and the bud Light penguin.

1977
01:36:38.079 --> 01:36:38.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember the penguin.

1978
01:36:38.960 --> 01:36:40.239
<v Speaker 3>I don't remember the penguin.

1979
01:36:39.960 --> 01:36:40.279
<v Speaker 1>All right.

1980
01:36:40.920 --> 01:36:44.079
<v Speaker 2>Question number five Matthew let's speak Grant grand rabbits thing,

1981
01:36:44.800 --> 01:36:48.119
<v Speaker 2>how many vice presidents have assumed the presidency.

1982
01:36:55.079 --> 01:36:56.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say six.

1983
01:36:58.119 --> 01:37:02.279
<v Speaker 2>It is nine.

1984
01:37:02.800 --> 01:37:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Ooh damn, a lot more than thought.

1985
01:37:04.960 --> 01:37:07.920
<v Speaker 2>And a bonus question for you, okay, And this one's

1986
01:37:07.960 --> 01:37:12.840
<v Speaker 2>so stupid it's funny. Which was invented first, the goalie

1987
01:37:12.960 --> 01:37:18.199
<v Speaker 2>helmet or the nutcup? The nutcup, that is correct. The

1988
01:37:18.319 --> 01:37:22.760
<v Speaker 2>nutcup was actually invented in eighteen seventy four, meaning it

1989
01:37:22.840 --> 01:37:26.279
<v Speaker 2>took almost seventy five years later before we decided it

1990
01:37:26.399 --> 01:37:29.560
<v Speaker 2>was important to protect our head. When the goalie helmet

1991
01:37:29.680 --> 01:37:32.079
<v Speaker 2>was invented in nineteen fifty nine.

1992
01:37:32.600 --> 01:37:34.680
<v Speaker 1>Why didn't you start waiting until like seventies, right.

1993
01:37:35.319 --> 01:37:39.239
<v Speaker 2>So it didn't become a league rule until the seventies

1994
01:37:39.640 --> 01:37:42.039
<v Speaker 2>that players had to wear helmets, and then.

1995
01:37:42.279 --> 01:37:45.159
<v Speaker 3>The grandfathered people in. Yep, So there was Willie Pllett

1996
01:37:45.199 --> 01:37:46.039
<v Speaker 3>never wore a helmet.

1997
01:37:46.640 --> 01:37:51.560
<v Speaker 2>Marty McSorley was the last one in the night late

1998
01:37:51.680 --> 01:37:53.920
<v Speaker 2>ninety eight. I remember watching the All Star Game and

1999
01:37:53.960 --> 01:37:57.720
<v Speaker 2>he was the last guy. Yep. And now it's even

2000
01:37:57.800 --> 01:38:01.640
<v Speaker 2>become visors that there's only a handful of guys in

2001
01:38:01.640 --> 01:38:04.199
<v Speaker 2>the league now that are grandfathered in for not having

2002
01:38:04.239 --> 01:38:04.960
<v Speaker 2>to wear a visor.

2003
01:38:05.039 --> 01:38:08.199
<v Speaker 3>Even I think they're insane. I mean, I took my

2004
01:38:08.319 --> 01:38:10.359
<v Speaker 3>mask off in the City Hockey League and got hit

2005
01:38:10.399 --> 01:38:12.079
<v Speaker 3>by a puck that was pil checked in front of

2006
01:38:12.119 --> 01:38:14.439
<v Speaker 3>me and had two black eyes. And I'm like, I

2007
01:38:14.479 --> 01:38:17.600
<v Speaker 3>don't know that anymore. Ye why not wear the face mask.

2008
01:38:17.960 --> 01:38:20.359
<v Speaker 3>I get the there's things that get near a line

2009
01:38:20.399 --> 01:38:22.359
<v Speaker 3>of sight, and maybe at that level of play that's

2010
01:38:22.399 --> 01:38:24.520
<v Speaker 3>a thing, But otherwise, I mean, I rather have my

2011
01:38:24.600 --> 01:38:25.960
<v Speaker 3>teeth in my nose, in my eyes.

2012
01:38:26.279 --> 01:38:26.840
<v Speaker 1>It makes sense.

2013
01:38:27.239 --> 01:38:29.079
<v Speaker 2>Well, it was just like so I used to do

2014
01:38:31.039 --> 01:38:33.640
<v Speaker 2>when they still had city rink Nielsen Reese was open.

2015
01:38:34.439 --> 01:38:36.039
<v Speaker 2>Was it Wednesday or Thursday nights? You could just do

2016
01:38:36.159 --> 01:38:38.680
<v Speaker 2>the drop in, yep, And so I would do that one.

2017
01:38:39.279 --> 01:38:42.720
<v Speaker 2>And even softball. It amazes me how many guys are

2018
01:38:42.880 --> 01:38:45.520
<v Speaker 2>just treating it like it's Game seven of the Final.

2019
01:38:45.640 --> 01:38:49.560
<v Speaker 2>I gotta go to work tomorrow. Yeah, this is just

2020
01:38:50.199 --> 01:38:51.439
<v Speaker 2>for fun and shits and games.

2021
01:38:51.479 --> 01:38:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, hold up, hold up, hold up? How many times

2022
01:38:55.039 --> 01:38:57.560
<v Speaker 1>have you bitched at like, Let's say.

2023
01:38:57.720 --> 01:39:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I wasn't competitive to the point though, where I

2024
01:39:01.359 --> 01:39:02.279
<v Speaker 2>was like.

2025
01:39:03.000 --> 01:39:07.720
<v Speaker 3>Treating hurting people right here me, Well, your.

2026
01:39:07.640 --> 01:39:17.000
<v Speaker 2>Feelings deserved to be mo unhitched the trailer, Matt runs

2027
01:39:17.039 --> 01:39:18.279
<v Speaker 2>into second and looking at.

2028
01:39:19.840 --> 01:39:21.760
<v Speaker 3>The older you get, the more you calm down. Because

2029
01:39:21.800 --> 01:39:23.600
<v Speaker 3>I was a Spas in my twenties, I'd be the

2030
01:39:23.600 --> 01:39:25.840
<v Speaker 3>guy yelling at the softball umpire.

2031
01:39:25.920 --> 01:39:26.960
<v Speaker 2>That was me two years ago.

2032
01:39:28.000 --> 01:39:31.039
<v Speaker 1>He yelled, were you okay?

2033
01:39:31.399 --> 01:39:32.520
<v Speaker 2>I was playing first base?

2034
01:39:33.600 --> 01:39:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Was that pitching? Because TJ? It was?

2035
01:39:35.279 --> 01:39:39.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. TJ was deployed and it was playoffs and we

2036
01:39:39.680 --> 01:39:42.680
<v Speaker 2>were It was one of those down to the wire games.

2037
01:39:43.640 --> 01:39:46.159
<v Speaker 2>And there was a ball that was hit by the

2038
01:39:46.159 --> 01:39:48.640
<v Speaker 2>way I know you listened to and it landed on

2039
01:39:48.840 --> 01:39:52.199
<v Speaker 2>this side of the line follow and he called it fair,

2040
01:39:52.239 --> 01:39:52.640
<v Speaker 2>and I was like.

2041
01:39:53.680 --> 01:39:54.880
<v Speaker 1>It was loud.

2042
01:39:56.239 --> 01:39:58.159
<v Speaker 3>It was major opinion known.

2043
01:39:58.319 --> 01:40:01.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was It was my retirement tour anyway, so

2044
01:40:01.840 --> 01:40:03.239
<v Speaker 2>I didn't care if I got thrown out.

2045
01:40:04.840 --> 01:40:06.960
<v Speaker 1>There. Good times, Like have you ever got home run

2046
01:40:07.000 --> 01:40:07.439
<v Speaker 1>in that field?

2047
01:40:08.159 --> 01:40:10.199
<v Speaker 2>No, I'll remember I cranked that one and it went

2048
01:40:10.319 --> 01:40:11.560
<v Speaker 2>like three feet folll.

2049
01:40:11.520 --> 01:40:16.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, huh. Get some home run bombers or some foul

2050
01:40:16.359 --> 01:40:18.560
<v Speaker 1>pole bombers warning power.

2051
01:40:18.640 --> 01:40:21.000
<v Speaker 3>I have never hit a home run in baseball or softball.

2052
01:40:21.359 --> 01:40:22.840
<v Speaker 3>I got one inside the park.

2053
01:40:23.760 --> 01:40:25.720
<v Speaker 1>So you're saying you're fast, huh, well.

2054
01:40:25.720 --> 01:40:28.439
<v Speaker 3>Fast, but no power. You look at me. I'm not

2055
01:40:28.640 --> 01:40:31.920
<v Speaker 3>exactly like the incredible Hulk here. I had no skill

2056
01:40:32.000 --> 01:40:34.000
<v Speaker 3>at getting the ball over the fence, but I could

2057
01:40:34.039 --> 01:40:34.520
<v Speaker 3>aim the ball.

2058
01:40:35.079 --> 01:40:35.239
<v Speaker 1>You know.

2059
01:40:35.319 --> 01:40:36.960
<v Speaker 3>That's the beauty of baseball. You don't have to hit

2060
01:40:37.000 --> 01:40:38.239
<v Speaker 3>it over the fence to be good.

2061
01:40:38.439 --> 01:40:40.800
<v Speaker 2>I always loved it. So I was a left hand batter,

2062
01:40:41.439 --> 01:40:45.079
<v Speaker 2>and I always loved it. Especially in softball. They'd always

2063
01:40:45.279 --> 01:40:46.680
<v Speaker 2>shift over and I.

2064
01:40:46.760 --> 01:40:51.600
<v Speaker 3>Can bullsh it down the right kind of were like, well,

2065
01:40:51.640 --> 01:40:54.760
<v Speaker 3>and you know, the right fielder is usually the worst player, right.

2066
01:40:54.840 --> 01:40:56.560
<v Speaker 3>That seems to be the tradition. So I just hit

2067
01:40:56.600 --> 01:40:57.800
<v Speaker 3>it to the right fielder every time.

2068
01:40:57.880 --> 01:40:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Makes sense depending what league are in, but yeah, you

2069
01:40:59.760 --> 01:41:00.239
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean.

2070
01:41:01.239 --> 01:41:04.199
<v Speaker 3>Or look for the week the weakest Lincoln for him.

2071
01:41:04.319 --> 01:41:06.279
<v Speaker 3>In toptball, you got plenty of time. I had never

2072
01:41:06.359 --> 01:41:08.920
<v Speaker 3>understood why people couldn't name it better baseball is. It's

2073
01:41:08.920 --> 01:41:09.640
<v Speaker 3>a little bit different.

2074
01:41:09.680 --> 01:41:12.239
<v Speaker 1>But there's been a few times where like, guys shift

2075
01:41:12.319 --> 01:41:14.399
<v Speaker 1>on me and I'm like Scott knows, like I'm gonna

2076
01:41:14.399 --> 01:41:15.880
<v Speaker 1>go this way, like because your hips, all you do

2077
01:41:15.960 --> 01:41:17.760
<v Speaker 1>is a just a little bit and this slap the

2078
01:41:17.840 --> 01:41:18.159
<v Speaker 1>other way.

2079
01:41:18.279 --> 01:41:20.199
<v Speaker 3>The people would go. Then they'd see me hitting it

2080
01:41:20.239 --> 01:41:22.159
<v Speaker 3>to right field and then they'd all shift over there

2081
01:41:22.159 --> 01:41:23.840
<v Speaker 3>and then I'd hit it down the left field line. Okay,

2082
01:41:24.119 --> 01:41:25.239
<v Speaker 3>just tell me where you're not gonna be.

2083
01:41:25.439 --> 01:41:27.399
<v Speaker 1>And you talk about like being old and being wise,

2084
01:41:27.479 --> 01:41:29.680
<v Speaker 1>like it's always the old guys, Like I tell them,

2085
01:41:29.800 --> 01:41:31.680
<v Speaker 1>we go straight up where it gets old people because

2086
01:41:31.680 --> 01:41:32.800
<v Speaker 1>they can go either or.

2087
01:41:33.119 --> 01:41:34.279
<v Speaker 2>You can put it where they want.

2088
01:41:34.520 --> 01:41:36.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, usually, and.

2089
01:41:36.439 --> 01:41:40.359
<v Speaker 2>It usually finds that gap between you know, like short

2090
01:41:40.439 --> 01:41:42.840
<v Speaker 2>outfield where they can just jog their way to first

2091
01:41:42.920 --> 01:41:45.239
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, just on base and then they get their

2092
01:41:45.319 --> 01:41:47.039
<v Speaker 2>runner over. Yeah.

2093
01:41:47.239 --> 01:41:49.199
<v Speaker 1>There's many times we just play like a guy short

2094
01:41:49.439 --> 01:41:51.920
<v Speaker 1>or a guy come in more to play that like

2095
01:41:52.159 --> 01:41:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Darren and Peyton area.

2096
01:41:55.640 --> 01:41:57.439
<v Speaker 3>But then if they move him into the right field

2097
01:41:57.520 --> 01:42:00.199
<v Speaker 3>rover and I'd drop into the left center field and

2098
01:42:00.279 --> 01:42:01.760
<v Speaker 3>then get a double instead of a single.

2099
01:42:01.880 --> 01:42:02.479
<v Speaker 1>Happens a lot.

2100
01:42:02.800 --> 01:42:04.680
<v Speaker 3>But really I wish I could have hit a home run.

2101
01:42:04.720 --> 01:42:05.399
<v Speaker 3>That would have been fun.

2102
01:42:05.479 --> 01:42:07.399
<v Speaker 1>It would have been a lot of fun. Get one.

2103
01:42:08.920 --> 01:42:12.039
<v Speaker 2>I hit two in one game when I was playing

2104
01:42:12.079 --> 01:42:16.039
<v Speaker 2>in Grand Rapids. I had in the game, I had

2105
01:42:16.079 --> 01:42:18.000
<v Speaker 2>a good I had a good tail wind though, so

2106
01:42:18.119 --> 01:42:18.720
<v Speaker 2>it worked.

2107
01:42:19.640 --> 01:42:23.000
<v Speaker 3>Whatever I had that it's because your power, yeow.

2108
01:42:24.079 --> 01:42:26.720
<v Speaker 2>I hit I hit a couple that bounced straight off

2109
01:42:26.800 --> 01:42:29.359
<v Speaker 2>the top of the wall here. But I never hit one.

2110
01:42:29.720 --> 01:42:31.159
<v Speaker 2>I follow I hit one over.

2111
01:42:31.319 --> 01:42:34.800
<v Speaker 3>But the older you get, the more you're worried about

2112
01:42:34.800 --> 01:42:37.960
<v Speaker 3>the ball hitting you. I would be backing up further

2113
01:42:38.079 --> 01:42:41.239
<v Speaker 3>and farther, you know, That's what I would be in

2114
01:42:41.319 --> 01:42:43.520
<v Speaker 3>the grass sometimes with so I was, I.

2115
01:42:43.680 --> 01:42:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Was Matt and I were the first basement on our

2116
01:42:45.800 --> 01:42:50.119
<v Speaker 2>team left to do. I was the only guy on

2117
01:42:50.239 --> 01:42:52.840
<v Speaker 2>our team that would play in field and wear a cup.

2118
01:42:53.279 --> 01:42:55.039
<v Speaker 2>It was like I am not playing in field and

2119
01:42:55.119 --> 01:42:55.760
<v Speaker 2>not wearing a cup.

2120
01:42:56.079 --> 01:42:57.640
<v Speaker 3>Well, you never know how the ball is going to bounce.

2121
01:42:57.880 --> 01:43:00.479
<v Speaker 2>Well, especially on these fields. There's some days it's do

2122
01:43:00.560 --> 01:43:03.479
<v Speaker 2>you own a rake? Yeah, you know, leave a rake

2123
01:43:03.560 --> 01:43:06.159
<v Speaker 2>in the dugout so we can rake and bet or something.

2124
01:43:06.319 --> 01:43:06.359
<v Speaker 1>No.

2125
01:43:06.560 --> 01:43:08.439
<v Speaker 3>I haven't played in a long time since they put

2126
01:43:08.479 --> 01:43:11.079
<v Speaker 3>that skate park in over there, but I'm guessing they

2127
01:43:11.159 --> 01:43:11.920
<v Speaker 3>got some damage.

2128
01:43:12.439 --> 01:43:17.279
<v Speaker 2>They lost field one. They shut that down for the year.

2129
01:43:18.039 --> 01:43:18.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

2130
01:43:19.079 --> 01:43:21.840
<v Speaker 2>It actually they had those poles that were like this

2131
01:43:21.960 --> 01:43:23.039
<v Speaker 2>big round they got bent.

2132
01:43:25.079 --> 01:43:25.640
<v Speaker 1>That happens.

2133
01:43:25.880 --> 01:43:27.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but did you guys, would you guys play what?

2134
01:43:27.880 --> 01:43:27.920
<v Speaker 5>What?

2135
01:43:28.560 --> 01:43:31.279
<v Speaker 1>What league? We played? D Well? I started d one

2136
01:43:31.560 --> 01:43:33.479
<v Speaker 1>for a little bit and then went to D two

2137
01:43:33.600 --> 01:43:35.960
<v Speaker 1>for most of my time for stoptball. Then we played

2138
01:43:36.039 --> 01:43:37.239
<v Speaker 1>D three like last.

2139
01:43:37.119 --> 01:43:40.199
<v Speaker 2>Year, Wednesday. Wednesday night was the predominant night. In the

2140
01:43:40.319 --> 01:43:44.880
<v Speaker 2>last two years we played Monday night just because schedules

2141
01:43:44.920 --> 01:43:46.920
<v Speaker 2>with kids and stuff. It just got to be.

2142
01:43:48.039 --> 01:43:49.840
<v Speaker 1>Of course t J. Melcher wants to play. He was like,

2143
01:43:49.920 --> 01:43:53.079
<v Speaker 1>he's getting olders, like I couldn't play D three five. Yeah.

2144
01:43:53.319 --> 01:43:55.239
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know, we played D three for a long

2145
01:43:55.319 --> 01:43:58.479
<v Speaker 3>time and we ended up winning the championship, and then

2146
01:43:58.520 --> 01:44:01.000
<v Speaker 3>the following year we wanted to again. Had they told

2147
01:44:01.079 --> 01:44:03.399
<v Speaker 3>us that if you win it two years in a row,

2148
01:44:03.479 --> 01:44:06.079
<v Speaker 3>you're mandated to go up in the next division, we

2149
01:44:06.159 --> 01:44:08.960
<v Speaker 3>would have on purposely lost because the only reason we're

2150
01:44:09.000 --> 01:44:11.680
<v Speaker 3>not playing to win a championship, we're playing because mondays

2151
01:44:11.720 --> 01:44:12.840
<v Speaker 3>work best for all of us.

2152
01:44:13.000 --> 01:44:16.960
<v Speaker 2>Yep. So it got to the point though, where so

2153
01:44:17.079 --> 01:44:20.279
<v Speaker 2>they had D one and D two both on Wednesday nights. Yeah,

2154
01:44:20.439 --> 01:44:25.199
<v Speaker 2>and they lost enough teams that they just but it

2155
01:44:25.319 --> 01:44:28.159
<v Speaker 2>was the same and so you had like two or

2156
01:44:28.199 --> 01:44:32.399
<v Speaker 2>three teams that were just amazing, and they were the

2157
01:44:32.439 --> 01:44:36.880
<v Speaker 2>guys that rolled up with matching wheelbags and and everything.

2158
01:44:37.000 --> 01:44:39.000
<v Speaker 3>Every other it is a home run.

2159
01:44:39.159 --> 01:44:42.039
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, and they can just crank the ball out.

2160
01:44:42.199 --> 01:44:44.159
<v Speaker 3>Twenty eight to six was the final score.

2161
01:44:44.359 --> 01:44:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

2162
01:44:45.119 --> 01:44:47.359
<v Speaker 2>That and they get mad if a guy hits a

2163
01:44:47.399 --> 01:44:48.399
<v Speaker 2>solo home run and.

2164
01:44:49.640 --> 01:44:51.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm just having get damn ball out of damn outfield.

2165
01:44:53.079 --> 01:44:54.000
<v Speaker 3>Just don't strike out.

2166
01:44:54.159 --> 01:44:56.079
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's the worst. I think. I struck out once

2167
01:44:56.159 --> 01:44:56.600
<v Speaker 1>by looking.

2168
01:44:57.720 --> 01:45:00.560
<v Speaker 2>If you strike out looking, that one thing. If you

2169
01:45:00.640 --> 01:45:01.159
<v Speaker 2>follow out.

2170
01:45:02.199 --> 01:45:04.159
<v Speaker 1>We had rules too, if you fall out, it's like

2171
01:45:04.199 --> 01:45:04.720
<v Speaker 1>a six pack.

2172
01:45:06.560 --> 01:45:07.560
<v Speaker 2>We struck out looking.

2173
01:45:07.640 --> 01:45:10.079
<v Speaker 1>It was a case. Yeah, it's automatic. I had one,

2174
01:45:10.760 --> 01:45:14.079
<v Speaker 1>and I can't believe I did that. And ironic story,

2175
01:45:14.760 --> 01:45:17.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of ironic story. The last time I struck out

2176
01:45:17.920 --> 01:45:21.640
<v Speaker 1>looking was in baseball for town ball, for the Blue Ox.

2177
01:45:22.640 --> 01:45:28.520
<v Speaker 1>That was you know who? My LP was yep, shock Yeah,

2178
01:45:29.560 --> 01:45:31.560
<v Speaker 1>But I was playing in like first, I think the

2179
01:45:31.600 --> 01:45:34.960
<v Speaker 1>first one I never like. I'd never like to see

2180
01:45:35.000 --> 01:45:36.680
<v Speaker 1>the first swing of the first one. I kind of

2181
01:45:36.680 --> 01:45:38.319
<v Speaker 1>want to see how it comes out of his hand.

2182
01:45:38.840 --> 01:45:41.359
<v Speaker 1>But then first the second one, I was a strike,

2183
01:45:41.399 --> 01:45:43.199
<v Speaker 1>and then the second one I filed it. Third one

2184
01:45:43.399 --> 01:45:47.840
<v Speaker 1>was a ball, and then the fourth one I checked,

2185
01:45:48.600 --> 01:45:51.159
<v Speaker 1>but Shultzi had on the I guess on the outside,

2186
01:45:51.239 --> 01:45:53.399
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, no, I won't tell the restory.

2187
01:45:53.399 --> 01:45:56.680
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell the restory off here, but I remember I

2188
01:45:56.800 --> 01:46:00.199
<v Speaker 1>was not pleased with the call. Let's say that. I

2189
01:46:00.279 --> 01:46:02.600
<v Speaker 1>said a few words, a few choice words, but yeah,

2190
01:46:02.640 --> 01:46:05.079
<v Speaker 1>it was I missed playing ball, and I'm starting to

2191
01:46:05.119 --> 01:46:07.560
<v Speaker 1>get that itch again to like playball game. But my

2192
01:46:08.239 --> 01:46:10.239
<v Speaker 1>shoulder says no, my elbow says no.

2193
01:46:11.319 --> 01:46:14.319
<v Speaker 2>And so I retired two years ago. Last year, you

2194
01:46:14.399 --> 01:46:17.159
<v Speaker 2>guys didn't have a team just because nobody would commit.

2195
01:46:17.279 --> 01:46:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because eight is a girl play. And then I

2196
01:46:19.680 --> 01:46:22.199
<v Speaker 1>had like ten people. I can't do. I need like

2197
01:46:22.359 --> 01:46:24.720
<v Speaker 1>twelve people, and it was kind of tough.

2198
01:46:25.000 --> 01:46:27.720
<v Speaker 3>I hung it up at forty. That was enough.

2199
01:46:28.239 --> 01:46:28.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

2200
01:46:28.680 --> 01:46:32.600
<v Speaker 2>And so my son is twelve and he does travel ball.

2201
01:46:32.800 --> 01:46:36.359
<v Speaker 2>So two nights a week, I'm at the ball fields

01:48:18.640 --> 01:48:21.319
<v Speaker 1>I learned that you hit two home runs in Grand Rapids.

2239
01:48:21.479 --> 01:48:24.359
<v Speaker 3>I did, yes, and you hit one and you struck

2240
01:48:24.399 --> 01:48:26.199
<v Speaker 3>out the last time you struck out. Looking with Brian

2241
01:48:26.239 --> 01:48:32.640
<v Speaker 3>Schultz of Beaver Radio Network fame, I wish I could

2242
01:48:32.680 --> 01:48:35.199
<v Speaker 3>have played in a sport that when Brian was reughing,

2243
01:48:35.960 --> 01:48:37.479
<v Speaker 3>because then he would have seen me. He thinks. I

2244
01:48:37.600 --> 01:48:40.359
<v Speaker 3>yell at the refs a lot on the broadcast. You

2245
01:48:40.399 --> 01:48:41.680
<v Speaker 3>should have seen me in real life.

2246
01:48:41.760 --> 01:48:46.039
<v Speaker 2>Man, it's deserving. I've better ref two for hockey, so

2247
01:48:47.039 --> 01:48:47.840
<v Speaker 2>I know what it's like.

2248
01:48:48.079 --> 01:48:50.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't like it. Brian, would you learn? You said

2249
01:48:50.800 --> 01:48:51.640
<v Speaker 1>you learned too much?

2250
01:48:51.720 --> 01:48:55.199
<v Speaker 3>He just said it, Yeah, I just said, Brian caught

2251
01:48:55.279 --> 01:48:56.159
<v Speaker 3>you out on strikes?

2252
01:48:56.159 --> 01:48:58.960
<v Speaker 1>All right. I was thinking, all right, Well, what a

2253
01:48:59.039 --> 01:48:59.520
<v Speaker 1>great show.

2254
01:49:01.279 --> 01:49:04.079
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of the Beavers, they got another homestand coming up soon.

2255
01:49:04.119 --> 01:49:05.960
<v Speaker 3>And not this week. Next they're in the Marquette for

2256
01:49:06.079 --> 01:49:08.720
<v Speaker 3>Northern Michigan, who's won one game all season, so hopefully

2257
01:49:08.800 --> 01:49:11.520
<v Speaker 3>they can. The Beavers can end their eight game losing

2258
01:49:11.600 --> 01:49:13.079
<v Speaker 3>streak in two weeks.

2259
01:49:13.119 --> 01:49:14.359
<v Speaker 2>I know they're down in man Cato.

2260
01:49:14.560 --> 01:49:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Correct.

2261
01:49:14.920 --> 01:49:17.720
<v Speaker 3>So next week they're home against Farris State, who is

2262
01:49:17.800 --> 01:49:20.359
<v Speaker 3>in second to the last place. So hopefully they can

2263
01:49:20.479 --> 01:49:22.439
<v Speaker 3>make some hay here in the next couple of weeks.

2264
01:49:22.479 --> 01:49:25.560
<v Speaker 3>They need it, and the Teddy Bear Toss game is

2265
01:49:25.640 --> 01:49:27.680
<v Speaker 3>on the sixth. They got Friday night.

2266
01:49:27.800 --> 01:49:29.840
<v Speaker 2>They got some grown to makeup after getting swept by

2267
01:49:29.880 --> 01:49:30.520
<v Speaker 2>Bowling Green.

2268
01:49:31.039 --> 01:49:33.039
<v Speaker 3>Being swept by Michigan. Yeah, they got a lot of

2269
01:49:33.119 --> 01:49:34.600
<v Speaker 3>room to make up. But the good news is is

2270
01:49:34.680 --> 01:49:36.880
<v Speaker 3>they can do it still. There's still some time and

2271
01:49:36.960 --> 01:49:38.439
<v Speaker 3>they're facing the right opponents.

2272
01:49:39.159 --> 01:49:40.560
<v Speaker 1>We need it because back in the day we used

2273
01:49:40.600 --> 01:49:43.479
<v Speaker 1>to not be like this. Michigan Tech was always good,

2274
01:49:43.560 --> 01:49:44.479
<v Speaker 1>Ferris was always good.

2275
01:49:44.760 --> 01:49:47.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was never fun play and then Northern Michigan

2276
01:49:47.119 --> 01:49:49.439
<v Speaker 3>was good until Patoni left and then everyone went to hell.

2277
01:49:49.800 --> 01:49:52.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that happens, all right. Well, thank everybody listening. Think

2278
01:49:52.439 --> 01:49:55.159
<v Speaker 1>you to the rightest producers on site engineers known as

2279
01:49:55.319 --> 01:49:58.399
<v Speaker 1>all of us in the words are Ray Green, keep

2280
01:49:58.439 --> 01:50:00.960
<v Speaker 1>your stick on this, okay, bye, it's a leader.

2281
01:50:11.079 --> 01:50:15.880
<v Speaker 2>They're really getting desperation is a good sign. Soon they

2282
01:50:15.920 --> 01:50:17.159
<v Speaker 2>may panic and run away.

2283
01:50:19.000 --> 01:50:21.800
<v Speaker 4>Thanks for listening to Beer Belly Sports. This has been

2284
01:50:21.840 --> 01:50:25.640
<v Speaker 4>a Jeffrey Productions show, so now you just know it's

2285
01:50:25.800 --> 01:50:26.680
<v Speaker 4>gotta be quality.
