Speaker 1 (00:00):
I only tell you this because I like to give
you a window into my life and how I'm feeling
on a day to day basis. And Matt, I do
I look disheveled? Do I appear to be disheveled? Can
you smell me from over there?

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Nah?

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Because I've been sweating like a pig since I've sat
down here at two o'clock. I gotta tell you, it's
warm in here.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
It's a little toasty in the studio. But you're passing
the smell check, So that's good, good for me, for you?

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Yeah, I don't know about that. I feel like I'm
a little smelly. Either way, We're happy to have you
with us. Did you see the action? We have our
eighth team, our eighth team in uh Omaha for the
College wald series.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
You seen it? Heard about that Murray State? How about
that the racers? Oh?

Speaker 1 (00:45):
I mean, people are saying, and this is possibility, Murray
State versus Coastal Carolina for the national title.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Anne Murray State. Ann Murray is in like the singer. Yeah,
she's out there playing all all nine positions. Sounds great.
I think she mostly bunts.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
What I don't know, h might want to might want
to strike Dead Da everyone from the pot there?

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Why I like it? Anne Murray? What did she like? Snowbird?
Was that song? Did she sing? I don't even know.
I was just I was racking my brain. Who's Murray?
Who has the last name Murray? I could have said
Bill Murray, State Bill Murray. I mean, it's Wayne. I
felt like in the moment, the only one that came
to mind was Anne Murray. And that feels like a
deeper poll, you know, like that's that's kind of random.

(01:34):
I bet there's some big Anne Murray fans listening right now.
She's really popular with a lot of people. I mean
she I mean, what would you call her? Is she country?
She's not really country. I couldn't name you a single
thing she sings. When you said she was a singer,
I just went with it because I honestly don't even
know who that is. How do you know who she is?
I don't. I just know the name. Like, why did
you bring it up then? Because I wanted to throw

(01:55):
you off by saying something weird? Okay, well the first
time I've ever done that.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
That was weird. I mean it was weird. It's basically
my calling card. Yeah, well, I gotta tell you that
that's a tough one. That's a tough one. United States.
By the way, let's see here, let's see. Let's get
down the singles. Songs that made it on the US
charts Billboard Hot one hundred. Her biggest hits were at

(02:20):
number eight Snowbird. I mentioned that one. I knew that one. Snowbird.
The only reason I know Ann Murray song is because
Family Guy did a whole episode about them. Or Stewie
falls in love with Anne Murray. It's actually really funny.
They go meet Ann Murray and Murray's actually voicing.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Herself in the show. It's great.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Snowbird's from nineteen seventy. Geez, that's a long time ago.
It's gonna make people feel old. Shouldn't have said that.
Danny's song in nineteen seventy two, it was number seven
on the charts. You Won't See Me. In nineteen seventy four,
that was number eight on the charts. You Needed Me,
which is oh Man, that is a super like late
seventies ballad. That was number one on the charts. I

(02:56):
Just fall in Love Again and Broken Hearted Me in
nineteen seventy nine, both number twelve in the charts. Daydream
Believer in nineteen eighty was number twelve in the charts
and hadn't really made much of much hay after that
on the Billboard Hot one hundred, but she's spent on
other charts, the us AC Adult Contemporary Charts, the US
Country charts. She's Canadian, so obviously she's got a little

(03:19):
bit more standing in Canada. I just got to tell
you that's a way better career than I thought she had.
So Anne Murray, there you go. Congrats to her. Way
to go. Anyway, We'll get to more of the ICE
Immigration Operation stuff at the bottom of the hour. I
just needed to take a mental break from it for
a second and talk about this. Last year, we made

(03:41):
a friendly wager where you and I drafted teams of
the eight college baseball teams that are going to be
here competing for a national title. And if one of
my teams won, you owed me a box of vote
Meal cream pies. And if you if one of your
teams won, I owed you a box of vote Meal
cream pies. And so I'm asking you, do you want
to do this again? Would you like to draft College

(04:03):
World Series teams? Friendly wager? One of your four win,
I owe you a box of Voutemel cream piles. If
one of my teams win, you owe me a box
of voute Meal cream pies. That's something something we can do.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
I have one thing to say to that. I'm Jake
good Man. No, sorry, that was the wrong button. Yes,
I would love to. Let's double let's double it up.
Let's double it double or nothing. I owe you a
box of you are a cream pie. You I owe
you too, because we did this another time.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah, but then I think we did this another time
and I paid up my end of the bargain. So
I'm good with double or nothing. And that one canceled out,
the second one canceled out. Yeah, so you'll just have to, uh,
you'll just have to, you know, pay up this time.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
But what if I win the wager and then it'd
be nothing. There's no paying up. I don't get anything.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Well, you just said double or nothing, So if it's
double or nothing, that's what it is.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
I don't know gambling. I didn't even know what that
meant before I said it.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Double it nothing means that you owe me two boxes
if you lose, or if you win, you owe me
no boxes.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Triple or something can we do? That? Is that a thing?

Speaker 1 (05:03):
No triple or something like? What would do something be?
You got the okay, so triple you get. You give
me three boxes if you lose, But if you win?
What's the something? It could be anything. I'll give you
three boxes if I lose, but if I win, you
give me four, and I'll give you back two. And
then I'll try and then and then we'll trade one.
That doesn't make any sense. This is way too much

(05:25):
omeal cream pie. This is not healthy. We can't be
eating these all the time for snacks. This is bad
for us. We're trying to be healthy.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Remember, if I win, I get an intern and I
have no control over that. I need an intern more
than you need an intern. What do you need an
intern for? Wait? What is this? Microsoft? Can I at
least how many how many pleast have clipping back on
my Microsoft computer? No? Because I don't have it. I
don't have Microsoft's ear.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
I can't tell them, Hey, we want the paper clip
back on the word documents. I don't even know if
I have licensed word on these computers. I use Google
Docs all the time. Now do you want me to
call Google and see if they'll put Clippy on Google Docs?

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Do they even have rights to have that? Where did
Clippy go? Do we know? Why isn't he ever on
any milk cartons? Why isn't anyone worried about Clippy? I
think he died out. Well, don't say that. Yeah, he
died out with Windows ninety seven. I know what he
died out in, sadness and solitude. That's the sad thing
is is if we checked in on Clippy, he probably
passed away a couple of years ago. Nobody went to

(06:24):
his funeral.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah, you want to know something, You really didn't need
Clippy if you knew how to spell words correctly. We
lost the need for Clippy when the computer was able
to tell us that we were spelling words wrong to
begin with. What are we even talking about here?

Speaker 2 (06:35):
I thought he was more kind of like helping you
open word documents and stuff.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
He was useless, him and all of his other weird
little friends that would sit in the bottom of your computer.
I played with him when I was like seven years old.
My dad was like, Hey, look at this guy on
this computer that we bought. And I didn't know what
he was for. I just kept clicking buttons and he
would tell you stuff. I didn't need to know any
of that stuff. I just think it was funny that
there was a paper clip with eyes. Anyway, I don't

(07:01):
know how we got in that tangent for sixteen. We'll
draft our College World Series teams next on news Radio
eleven to ten KFAB and.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Mariell on News Radio eleven ten KFAB.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
The College World Series got to be top of mine.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Right now.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
We'll talk a bit more about the ice operations that
are happening here starting at four thirty. I'll take calls
starting at five for people if they're interested in talking
about that. I'll give you some information that I'm seeing
of what happened around Omaha and maybe what could happen next.
But we're only talking positives right now. A little palette cleanser,

(07:38):
Matt Case. I'm looking at the eight teams that are
in the College World Series, and much like last year,
I think we should pick four each. We'll draft them
and figure out who's going to win. This bad boy
here with have we agreed on the stakes? You kept
making weird steaks. Mistakes are just fine. At one point
you suggested Anne Murray be a part of the payoff

(08:01):
of this I.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Think maybe a nice CD rom of her greatest hits
could be it, especially if Murray State wins. Why don't
we make it specific to the team. If Murray State wins,
you owe me. I don't want it, though, I have
a CD player, so I don't know.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
What nobody does these days, do they? I mean, come
on anyway? College World Series teams, all right, we have
eight of them, and because I won last year, I
will allow you to have the first pick, but I
get the second and third picks, and the will alternate
until we're done.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
We just take a team and we get four of them.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
You take one team and I get the second and
third picks, and then we'll just alternate until all eight
teams have been selected, and I'll make I'll open an
email here. That way we get them all correct College
World Series picks. So who is your number one pick, Matt,
Arkansas Raids or Backs?

Speaker 2 (08:53):
And you have a reason for that? Oh yeah, well,
they're the best team in the field. They're also my
favorite team. I have relatives from Arkansas. I spent a
lot of time in the summer and Christmas down there.
Big time Arkansas Razorback fan will never forget when they
won it All in men's basketball in the nineties. Nolan

(09:13):
Richardson their head coach. Great team back then. So I'm
a big fan of the baseball team too. I'm a
fan of all their teams. Talking Darren McFadden and football,
he was a lot of fun to watch. Oh yeah,
run dmc oh man. Those were the days.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yeah yeah, yeah. Okay, so Arkansas, that makes sense. I'm
gonna go a little bit what many people would consider
to be off the beaten path here, and I am
going to pick Coastal Carolina because I want to cheer
for a small school. Coastal I think is a really
good baseball team. They just took out the number four
team in the country in Auburn to get to the
College World Series, and uh yeah, the chant to clear.

(09:49):
Anytime that I have a chance to cheer for a
team like that, I'm gonna and I think they have
a legitimate chance to win. So I go Coastal Carolina. Oky,
do go chance? Oh and I get the third you
know what. I want to be able to cheer for them,
so you can't. This may not be the smartest pick.
I'm going Murray State because I think Murray State is
the Cinderella here. They're just the fourth team who was

(10:11):
the four seed in the regional to get to Omaha
and the College World Series.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
I'm buying a hat. I'm hopefully going to go to
the game.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
On Saturday afternoon, they play UCLA and I'm all the
way in. I found myself very nervous watching that game.
It was a very good game between them and Duke
last night. For the last spot, I gotta go with
Murray State the Racers, and I just it may not
be a smart number two pick, but I just want
to cheer for them, and I'll let you have them.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
So there you go. Now you get one pick. I'll
take Arizona.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
The Wildcats made a crazy comeback, whether.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
The challenges they're going to face, but I do know
that they're also an a team, and so I've been stayed.
I've stayed consistent with that. Oh yeah, Markansas, Arizona, We're
off to a good start, Okay.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
I feel like you're not gonna be able to run
that forever. The a thing I'm gonna go with. And
this is also a pick that I think people probably
are like, has no one picked them yet? LSU won
the national title a couple of years ago. A lot
of people around here love it when they're in town
because they stimulate the local economy better than I think
any team that ever visits with their fan base. A

(11:17):
deep run for LSU is good for business, even though
I'm kind of cheering for some underdogs who haven't won
this thing more so.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
But I'll take LSU. What you got.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Well, three left, Ucla, Louisville, and Oregon State are on
the board.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
Hmmm, I think I'll go Oregon State. The Beavers. Yeah,
that's a you know, fun little team up there in Corvallis, Cornvallis.
Of course, Mike Riley was their head coach nice Nebraska
TAI before he came down here and had one last
good adventure. Didn't go so well for Mike that that's okay,

(11:54):
always said he kind of seemed a little bit like
mister Rogers. Okay, all right, yeah, miss you Okay, what
a nice guy. Okay, Right, And then I'll take Louisville.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
I don't want to cheer for the team that plays
Murray State in the first round, even though it'd be
a good smart headge your bet UCLA plays Murray State
in the first round. I'm gonna go with Louisville and
see if the Cardinals can't make some noise here. And
that means your last team is gonna be UCLA. So
your four Arkansas, Arizona, Oregon State and UCLA, my four

(12:28):
Coastal Carolina, Murray State, LSU and Louisville. Shake on it. Okay,
there's the shake. Nobody can see it, but you can
hear it. You're shaking hands and there we go. All
right With that being said, guess what Culdroald series starts
on Friday. I'm under the impression I may be out
there on that day. You're gonna throw out the first pitch. No, no, no,
but there for my show?

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Oh really? That's when I'm under the impression where they
gonna where are they gonna stash you?

Speaker 1 (12:52):
And I think the blur of instinct if I'm not mistaken. Okay,
more on that coming later this week.
