Get the full details now at campan dot com keyword calendar.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
See if that if that game is against Vegas, why
are we not in Las Vegas covering it's I mean,
no kidding, I think my slot machine misses me, right,
I should just do the cores Light event in Vegas.
We could do trivia there. Yes, I'll say it again.
I don't have a Vegas trip planned until June. I
don't have one plan at all. So when in April? Baby? Hey?

(00:46):
When do we go? Though? Do we go in October?
When will we be there? September? October, October? So that'll
be almost like what eight ish or so months in
between Vegas trips. That's not acceptable. No March March go
uh eleven day for three eleven day that too, m
you can go for three eleven days Okay with that attitude,

(01:09):
though actually I might, I might enjoy parts of the show.
The weed. Yeah, it's fun.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
As I told the story before, Corey and I sat
next to two gentlemen who smoked weed every single way
you could possibly.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
They had this case with them.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
They smoked a bong, they smoked a pipe, they smoked
some kind of like steamroller pipe they have, and they
smoked a joint the whole time, just sat there and
smoked weed and watched the show.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
And oh yeah, this was at the park MGM, and
we were basically like Batman and the Joker in nineteen
eighty nine and just being like, where do you get
y'all have your wonderful boys. They had the buffet of
smoking weed options. Yep. Three eleven fans not shy about
smoking weed even before it was legal. They never have cared.
Most rock concerts don't, but their fan his fan base

(01:58):
has never even just bring a.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
Case of various smoking implements into an arena.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
I mean, I never really tried this. I don't think
anybody cares or that. Okay, glass detectors, Yeah, no. When
when Chris Hockey and I went to New Orleans for
three eleven day in two thousand and eight. I believe
he thought we were the only two non weed smokers
in the building. And I think, Sauce, even though you
liked the weed, you and I didn't smoke. We saw

(02:25):
three eleven Day in Vegas, and we also believe we
were the only two that were not high at that show.
You were, I mean, we were high because of the
room we contacted. Were not. Yeah, yeah, high in our
own supply. Hell of a time. Yeah, it was fun.
But I can't wait until June. I got to go
before that. You gotta figure that out. Yeah, all right,
let's do a fan five. Let's do sports. Let's talk

(02:47):
about sports.

Speaker 5 (02:48):
It's time for Fan five on the Power Trap, presented
by Builders and Remodelers.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Hey, thanks, Builders and Remodelers, you Marnie. The Wolves host
the Knicks tonight, the NBA Cup champion New York Hitch. Yeah.
The Wolves are nineteen to ten. They've won nine of
their last eleven outside of OKC, who they beat on Friday.
By the way, again, we talked about this yesterday. They're
not that far out of like second place. They're within

(03:16):
striking distance. In the West, that group like two to
six in the West is pretty tight, so obviously it's
going to be nearly impossible realistically, unless there's a significant
injury for anybody to catch Okac. But two to six
is that spot that the Wolves are probably going to
end up. So let's aim high. Let's seef we can
catch san Antonio and others. But the Knicks are twenty
and eight, I believe. I don't think they played last night.

(03:38):
Brunson not expected to play with an ankle problem, so
twenty nine out change for Brunson, so advantage Wolves tonight.
But I don't know about Jade McDaniels. Isn't he a
game time decision?

Speaker 6 (03:49):
He's questionable.

Speaker 7 (03:50):
But the Knicks are not playing og Anoby either or
Miles McBride, who is a regular rotation guy as well,
so they will be down two significant scores and three
significant players. Karl Anthony Towns is healthy and will be playing,
and you know there will be emotion behind his return

(04:12):
because he's the next only play in Minnesota once per year,
and last year was early in this season in his
first trip back, and he was great, and the next
were great, and the Waves were not.

Speaker 6 (04:25):
And we hope that it's a totally different scenario.

Speaker 7 (04:28):
But you're right, Corey, with the given the injury report,
it should be significantly advantage Timberwolves.

Speaker 6 (04:34):
Do we have a line on this game?

Speaker 2 (04:36):
They are seven and a half point favorites.

Speaker 6 (04:38):
Okay there really?

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah, because yeah, they're banged up.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
And then the secondary market tickets, by the way, pretty expensive,
like this is a fairly big ticket.

Speaker 6 (04:47):
Yeah, I wonder if it still is.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
They're now eighty a half point favorites. By the way,
it's gone up the points since the.

Speaker 6 (04:56):
Because of the injury news. I'm guessing.

Speaker 7 (04:58):
Yeah, But you're right for for people who want to
see Carl Anthony town and it's.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
Beginning of a holiday weekend essentially, Yeah, Snaty can see
Rosie and Sauce in front row.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah, it's gonna be a fun night downtown. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (05:11):
Are you going to the game?

Speaker 4 (05:13):
I think I'm actually putting my tickets up for sale
because we've got some friends coming into town that we're
gonna hang out with it STI.

Speaker 6 (05:19):
I'll be there, but okay, come with us afterwards.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Where's the old media section? Now? Where do you sit?
I haven't been there?

Speaker 6 (05:29):
And a lo I it's split up into three.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Are you in the premiere group though? Which group are
you in? Which tier? Are you in silver? You're the
silver tear.

Speaker 6 (05:41):
I've been demoted to silver.

Speaker 7 (05:45):
Lea by Olsen is in the gold for our group,
but I am on the court. I'm just Kitty corner
from the visitors bench. That's kind of the silver group.
The gold group is Katy corner from the Wolves bench.
That right off the bench where we used to sit
no longer available.

Speaker 6 (06:03):
It is seating based. That was the best they sold it.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
To fans back in the day when people were like,
I was single and a loser more so than I
am now, and they'd be like, why do you go
to like thirty Wolves games a year. I'm like, I
basically have front row seats for free. You sat right
behind the bench in those media sections and it was
freaking awesome. Yea, so here and the teams suck, but
the games were super fun. You could still watch, you know,

(06:27):
like Kobe or whatever play. It was awesome. Yeah, which
is wrong with the calves and yow ming with the
rockets and stuff. It was awesome.

Speaker 6 (06:32):
There's been a real shift in stadium seating in like
the play by play.

Speaker 7 (06:38):
And analyst for TV and radio always used to be
court sided. In every arena and now it's probably half
including Target Center where you're up at the top of.

Speaker 6 (06:50):
The lower bowl.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
So if you're not, if there truly are tiers and
this gold tier, I'm just I like the name of it.
At least who's in that gold tier? Like who gets
to sit there?

Speaker 6 (07:00):
For us?

Speaker 2 (07:01):
For for the media in general? Is that like Krazinski?

Speaker 7 (07:04):
Yes, that Liabielsen, John Krasinski, Chris Heine, and Jason Frederick,
like the main one single beat reporter. But if you
have a second guy there, like if Jim Suhanna is
at the game or something like that, they.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Silver, there's silver, So who do you normally sit with?
Who's in the silver group?

Speaker 6 (07:22):
The visit the visiting sideline reporter?

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Oh man, you get the castaways.

Speaker 7 (07:27):
Like a dunking on Wolves beat reporter?

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Is that Bonus's website? Where does Max? Where do you
sit when you go? Which section are you in? Which tier?

Speaker 1 (07:37):
I usually sit kind of pretty close to the court
when I like my past media seats.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
It was like not this year, this year, No, not
this season, No, Oh, he's been demoted.

Speaker 7 (07:45):
He's a silver tier because last season the gold tier
was right next to the Wolves bench.

Speaker 6 (07:50):
So Max was in the silver tier.

Speaker 7 (07:53):
Well, now the old silver tier from last year, Max,
that is the gold tier.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
I see sources say all media seat next season in
the lower level are going away.

Speaker 6 (08:03):
Oh really?

Speaker 7 (08:04):
So there is a bronze here and that is straight
across from the Wolves bench. At the top of that
lower bowl there is one row, one long row.

Speaker 6 (08:16):
No, it's fine, but.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
Because you see the game develop, Yeah I like that.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Sure.

Speaker 5 (08:20):
Yes, I got sent up to the hockey press box
last year during the playoffs. That wasn't great, Well didn't
wasn't a bit one year for the Super Bowl. Bit
that AJ and Hockey had press passes for the game
and AJ satin like the Armory buildings street.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
Imagine. Yeah, no, I'd go home. Yeah, what an insulting
thing to tell the media show up at an office
building and watch it on TV. No, get bent? Yeah,
what are you talking about a waste of time? Anyway? Well,
I missed the old days of having those front row seats.
Would sit next to Lake and then once in a

(09:01):
while Sid would sit next to me and yell at me. Yep,
kicked me out of my chair once, even though my
name was on that chair. I sat there thirty times
a year, and he still wanted me out.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
Lots of remember the press box a target field.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Oh yeah, especially about everybody's platinum to the target field.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Man, it's a joke. He can kick you out of
your seat, he once famously did once. Yeah, he was
really mad. He just super mad, told me to get
out of the seat. And I'm like, we're talking about
this is my seat, said, and he just melted down, huge, huge,
He had a huge fit. And then Mike Christaldi, who
still worked for the Wolves at the time. Mike just
came over and He's like, do me a favorite, buddy.

(09:46):
I'm like, all right. If it wasn't if it wasn't
for Mike, I wouldn't have moved. I was gonna put
up my dukes and tell said, no, this is my chair.

Speaker 5 (09:53):
But this is my this is my girls mind smiling park.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
You go to hell. And I mean, yeah, as you know,
Mike Crostaldi was the best, right, Yeah, Mike Crostaldi was
the best.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
So like, you do me a favorite, dude. I'm like,
all right, since you asked, I'm moving. So I went
like four rows back, which is at the time was
the equivalent of the silver tier. So I went from
the gold level to the Silver level because Sid wanted
me out.

Speaker 7 (10:23):
Yes, Mike Cristaldi is still with Charlotte Soume typically once
a year, great dude.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Yeah, ye, anyway, got the old No one's boot me
out of my seat tonight. Maybe Rosie.

Speaker 6 (10:40):
Going to the Wolves game?

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yeah? Really? Where are you sitting right on the floor? What?

Speaker 3 (10:45):
Yeah, my good friend Charlie Swanson, who I've never met
in person. No, every time we have plans, I'm either
sick or I have to babysit.

Speaker 6 (10:56):
Your your own child.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (10:59):
Interesting term, ladies and gentlemen, Charlie, I've just been with you.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
A florifying news story. I eat all of you. Stop
what you're doing and listen. The Wolves are announcing the
Gold tier tonight will be moved due to an obstruction
in row one, so they need to be able to
see the game. It's the second time I've kind of
used that joke, but now I just wanted to say
that the gold tier.

Speaker 5 (11:26):
Hey again, you have somebody has to sit behind Mark
Rosen and Paul meet Sauce Lambert.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
Rosie's taller than hell, and Sauce has a head the
size of the planet Jupiter. How do you think this
how do you think the seating is gonna go well? Guards?

Speaker 3 (11:41):
He called me to tell me this because he has
been fortunate enough to sit with our good pal Charlie,
who I've never met. He says, sit next to Charlie
because if you sit next to Rosie, Rosie kind of.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
Like man's bread It's like he's at home. And Rosie's
you know, a tall human. So why he needs the
exit row every time we take a flight of him.
Ye has to have it. I'm gonna try and sit
next to Charlie. So he man's breads and then is
again gonna go Larry David on it and trip shack?

Speaker 5 (12:07):
Yeah, carl is he able to keep his legs off
of the regulation surface?

Speaker 2 (12:14):
I think so? Yeah? So didn't So Martha Stewart said
that who was it? Was it like Josh Harden Jalen
Brnton stepped on her foot open toed shoes broke her
toes like last may or something. What if Karl Anthony
Towns breaks the foot of Mark rosen Man some silver tears,

(12:36):
I'm gonna miss you next week.

Speaker 6 (12:38):
There is a chance Rosie will be wearing open toad shoes.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Yeah, that's his thing. So it happened. It happened to Martha.
Sturia said, yep, but it hasn't happened to Rosie yet.
I don't want to talk about it. No, it doesn't
happened to him yet.

Speaker 7 (12:55):
Well, saus, you are going to have a great time.
That sounds like a really fun to.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Do that tonight. I'm super fun. Yeah, yeah, I'm very
Because you're sitting front row at a Wolves game and
it's on the house, do you believe you will stay
the entire game? Yes, even if they're upper down thirty yeah. Yeah.
Do you believe that Rosie will stay the entire game?

Speaker 4 (13:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (13:17):
I mean it's front row. If Rosie was sitting fifth row,
would he stayed the whole game? Pull your hands up?
He wouldn't go. Hey, you're saying that if he had
fifth row seats he wouldn't go? No, probably not, that's right.
Are you guys on the TV like camera side? Like
can we see you on TV? You know? No?

Speaker 7 (13:37):
They will be backs to the main game cameras, but
they will be in replays, and they will be sitting
very close to Anthony Edwards's brother and and often acknowledges
his brother after a big like sequence or something like
that as he's coming back to the bench, So you'll

(13:59):
be straight across from the Wolves bench and a Rod
and Mark Laurie also sit next to our friend Charlie Swanson.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
So this sauce might talk to Mark Loriy tonight. You
might sauce mind, Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 (14:11):
Very good chance.

Speaker 7 (14:12):
If you watch the game, you will be able to
see the backs of their heads on the main game cameras.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Everybody's going to be able to see the back of sauces.
Are they worried about the game camera getting blocked? So look,
we're playing the Knicks. When you go to a Knicks game, right,
they showed Ben Stiller, they show Timothy Shallow, May they
show Spike Lee Dusty. I mean, what's it got to
take for the Wolves to throw sauce on the big
screen and say, hey, k fans, Paul Lambert's here, sit
in front row with Mark Rosen.

Speaker 6 (14:40):
I know a guy.

be at home no. Now it's time for heade headlines
brought to you by my friends at Wolf River Electric
and Wolfriverelectric dot Com. Go solar in twenty twenty five
or in early twenty twenty six, get those solar panels
put on or reach out to them and tell them
that Marnie wants heated driveways based on solar power. Yes, please, yeah, just.

Speaker 7 (17:34):
Some version of it there. I mean, there are a
lot of smart people out there. Wolf River included ex
very sharkly Wolf.

Speaker 6 (17:41):
River and the north facing driveways unite.

Speaker 4 (17:44):
Right, maybe you can get the angle the solar panel
so it reflects Yeah, yeah, onto your driveway.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
Yeah, well said that would work as well. Sure, Chris
is gone, so I can bring up Initials without getting
yelled at. He hates self promotion. He is not a fan. Marns.
We're not playing Initials on Friday. We're not no, no, exactly.

(18:10):
So we are done for the year twenty twenty five.
Oh wow, all right, that's our congratulations. I mentioned this
a week or two ago. But you are the twenty
twenty five champion in both wins and in points. How
many wins do you believe you secured in twenty twenty five? Oh,
by the way, there were fifty four total games of

(18:33):
Initials in the year twenty twenty five.

Speaker 6 (18:35):
Fifty four games?

Speaker 2 (18:36):
How many did you win? So? Again, there was also
the tournament this summer, right, so, and you've missed some
other games, But so you didn't play in all fifty
four twelve, twelve. Anybody else have a guess how many?
That is the correct answer, MARNI won seventeen games. Wow,
in twenty twenty five. Here are your winners, Marns, you

(18:58):
had seventeen sauce you finished second with thirteen wins. Yeah,
not bad. Yeah, Hawk had nine after his win last Friday,
Parish four a J three and I think he went
three for three. I think you just played those three
games and won the tournament. Let's see if you guys
can do this. There were eight one time winners in

(19:21):
twenty twenty five, so the five I just mentioned were
multi winners. Eight other individuals won one game in the
year twenty twenty five? Can you name them? Dov won one? Nope?
That was last year.

Speaker 7 (19:33):
Yeah, Ryan Jeffers, Ryan Jeffers, good memory, Jeffers won last
what January Jeffers is one?

Speaker 2 (19:42):
You already said? Parish, right, well, he had four, just one.

Speaker 6 (19:46):
On the Black Friday Show, he did.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
Nope. Max Serty Nope, nope. Elizabeth Reeson Nope. Shall I
remember invitational? Barb one exact? Actually Barb won a tournament game.
Lit'll be on the Boardsburg Bossburg won one? Good, you're
missing four? These are all from the tournament, I believe. Nope,

(20:13):
a couple of years ago. Dusty Nope, all right, I
can help you out. Well, who won in Vegas? The
other four? This year? John Kriesol won this year, that
Tyler George one in the tournament this year, of course,
Glenn the Rube. Glenn won in the tournament this year.
Glenn Schmidt and Glenn Channel fours. Frankie v. Frank Fassolero

(20:35):
also won a tournament game. So those are the one
time winners.

Speaker 6 (20:38):
That was my tournament game, Frank.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
Vank Marnie, you were the points winner for twenty twenty five.
How many points do you think you secured in twenty
twenty five? I'll tell, I'll give you a little hints.
You beat Meat Sauce by fourteen.

Speaker 7 (20:54):
Okase seventy two points.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
One fifty one, you had one hundred and fifty one,
saw Us had one hundred and thirty seven, Hockey with
one nineteen, Perish with eighty six. Who do you think
was fifth in points this year? A j.

Speaker 6 (21:21):
In three games? Yeah, you're probably yeah, probably, you're probably right.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
Nope, Zach O Zach Zach with eighteen points finished fifth. Nice, congratulations, Marty.
Was the year of Marnie. You see, we see you
can keep it going in twenty six.

Speaker 7 (21:38):
You know what if Zach Halberson is one of those
players that if he played every week, he would probably
be a yearly champion.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
I believe if he played every week he would maybe
lead the group in points but finished dead last and wins. Yeah. Yeah,
he always says, is that right?

Speaker 5 (21:54):
Because you'd shatter my heart every damn time, every single time.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
I hope you guys didn't see this. I hope you
guys didn't see this or hear this, because I know
Ben Maller was talking about this a couple hours before us.
Did you guys see what Josh Allen and Hailey Steinfeld
gifted their offensive lineman, the Bills offensive lineman. Right, that's
a big thing. Everybody gets gifts for their offensive line.

Speaker 6 (22:18):
Hailey Steinfeld was part of it, well.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
You know, like the couple of them apparently together gave.
I think it was presented from both of them to
the offensive lineman. And that's how the story reads, at
least so.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
The Superman bends. Yeah, was a twenty inch dub. You
no two g lats on dub.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
This is how crazy this is. If you didn't hear this,
this just is not guessable. It's that insane. Not a watch,
not a car, not a golf car. Small children. That's
that's the closest guests so far. That's honestly the closest puppies.
You're getting wormery donkeys. No one wants. Zach's the closest

(23:01):
so far. Baby camels. Maybe you're the closest monies. No cat, No,
nobody wants that. You're closer with.

Speaker 6 (23:17):
Zebra.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
The Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen gave his offensive line
one quarter of a cow.

Speaker 5 (23:25):
I was about to get the meat part, one one.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
Quarter of a cow each for his offensive lineman. That
that's all right, that's what it is.

Speaker 7 (23:38):
We have one quarter of a cow that we went
in with on friends. That is not enough, the minimum,
the entire Just.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
Give them an unlimited Manny's gift card. Don't make them
make their own steaks.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
What this says?

Speaker 2 (23:55):
A quarter of a cow? Uh, panning to four shopping
bags eggs filled with packaged cuts of meat. I feel
like this is something we've always wanted to get for ourselves.
For this, I hope they bought them a freezer to Yeah,
apparently the Bills said they were thrilled. They were very

(24:16):
excited about it.

Speaker 7 (24:17):
Well, of course, what comes with one quarter of a
cow is, yes, you get some of the the t
bones which have the little piece of the fla in there,
and you get but you get ground beef and get
some chuck.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
Right, so you're gifting what financial approximation is one quarter
of a cow with all that meat. What do you get?
What did he technically give them?

Speaker 6 (24:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (24:44):
I mean it was.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
Yeah, that's nothing like Luca gave the entire organization like scooters,
although my sources indicate that one of the Vikings quarterbacks
one year gave them all custom jeans.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
What an awful gift? Awful custom yep. According to AI,
this is Google Gemini. A quarter of a cow generally
cost between eight hundred and fifteen sixteen hundred dollars, based
on the farm. This typically yields eighty to one hundred
and twenty five pounds of packaged meat. Oh, I'm sure
it's top tier. I'm sure it's like the best cow

(25:27):
you can get, the good cows swag you from maybe
or something.

Speaker 7 (25:31):
Why wouldn't you get the whole you know, Costco sells
like the beef tenderloin, just that one big log of
this spot?

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Mary? Would you, if you, Josh allen tho, if you
have this much money, how about you just give them
each one cow and it's alive and they can just
shoot it when they want, right, Like, when do you
want the meat? Not maybe necessarily this holiday season, but
let it roam as long as you want and then
take it out when you're ready to eat it. They
can just put it in the second style of their grudge.
Just whatever the Mannies, We'll play whatever the Manny's a

(26:02):
buffalo is. Just say for a whole year, you can
go there whenever you want eat. It's on me.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
I'll pay the tab on December thirty, first of twenty
twenty six. Then they don't have to like make it
freeze it.

Speaker 7 (26:14):
Forget about it, because what if some of them live
in a condo and you just have your standard fridge
and freezer.

Speaker 6 (26:20):
You got room for a court. We had to buy
a deep freeze, like a smaller one.

Speaker 7 (26:25):
But it's a deep freeze in our two in our
three car garage which contains two cars, we still had
room to add trolls freeze.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
Hey, how do you guys feel about it? First of all,
Josh doesn't have to get him anything, right, So I'm
in that group that's you know, when Bill Gates gives
hundreds of millions away and people still complain. I'm like,
he doesn't technically have to give you a dime, so
it's technically a gift. Awesome, right that Josh is giving
them something. But how do we feel about regifting if
you're giving a freezer full of meats and you're like,

(26:56):
I don't need all this meat, Like they can regift
that stuff. That's socially acceptable to pass it on.

Speaker 6 (27:02):
Yeah, But so you're regifting your ground chuck.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
Because Martie said, though, like half of these guys don't
live in Buffalo year round.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
It's not like they're going to go oh, I forgot
to pack the ground chuck, like, but hang on, like, Zach,
would you want to try Josh Allen's mate?

Speaker 8 (27:17):
Of course, I wish she'd give me a quarter of
a cow shees. I didn't even understand that or that
log thing that Marnie was talking.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
I wonder if he got sacked a lot this year.
I think maybe, yeah, that's punishment, like next year, keep
me up right now, I'll get your car or a
full come.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
But didn't like, uh, didn't Shay when he won the
MVP give everyone who played on Oklahoma or Rolex.

Speaker 5 (27:49):
I think that's he's making crazy amounts, but so is Josh.
Hundreds of millions. Josh is making fifty plus a year.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
Yeah, Josh Allen's making more money than Shay Shaye I
think is making like seventy isn't he isn't she in
the seventy range? Now with the super Max deals, that's
year per year. It's something like that already time no
contract is something like.

Speaker 3 (28:13):
Four years to eighty or something four year, two hundred
and eighty five million dollars super Max cont.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
Seventy plus plus. Yeah, wow, that is you're three hundred
and thirty million dollar contact. Okay, So he's in the
fifties and SHA's in the seventies. Like in both afford
to full cow, yeah, or rolexes or two glets on
you can trade a couple of magic beans for a cow.
What are we doing here, right? Get them the whole cow.

(28:39):
I like snowbobules.

Speaker 7 (28:41):
Also, if you're handing it in, I think you said
shopping bags shopping bags full of meat.

Speaker 6 (28:46):
You gotta immediately get that, yeah, into your freezer, which
means you got to go to Costco.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
You got to gift a freezer as well. I think
you got to give the gift of a freezer.

Speaker 3 (28:57):
One of the guys is like man Patrick mahone, He's
got all of his guys like custom golf carts.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
Thanks for the bag of meat, Josh, somebody, Yeah, thanks Josh.
I wanted a scooter. One of them is a vegetarian.
Them Grody Barry Manilo. Good news, bad news. Barry Manilo
says he's been diagnosed with lung cancer, but he claims

(29:22):
that they caught it super early. He might even get
to avoid chemo. So it sounds like the outlook is
very positive. But Barry Manilo lung cancer, but best of luck,
looks like it was caught early.

Speaker 4 (29:35):
Last time we had Barry Manilo health news was I
think he'd fallen on the ice or something. Maybe he was,
you know, in a wheelchair, et cetera. Shortly after that
we went and saw Barry Manilo in Vegas and he
comes out on the stage and then beginning we'd all
heard about this thing and he comes out in a
wheel share to do his concert.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
Everyone's like, oh, no, we do.

Speaker 4 (29:59):
And then the first number was It's a miracle, and
he throws off the thing and Eddie jumps out of
the wheelchair.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
And it was all right. This bit is called headlines.
I'm going to read you a headline that is so
I think poorly written once you read the story, because
it just is so obviously misleading, and I think poorly
worded The headline reads as follows, swimmer vanishes after possible

(30:28):
shark encounter off California coast during group outing. All right,
so vanishes is an interesting word. And then possible shark
encounter right now, let me read this story to you.
They have this swimming group and the group says, we
had a swim club that does weekly swims out here
at Lover's Point. They immediately called all swimmers in and

(30:51):
there was one swimmer who hasn't reported back yet. The
person who reported the shark sighting claimed they saw a
shark breach the water with what appeared to be a
human body in its mouth, then witness the sharks submerged
below the water line without ever resurfacing. The coast guard
could not confirm that it was a shark attack due

(31:14):
to insufficient evidence. So there's a fifty five year old
woman who quote vanished. This person says, I saw a
human in a shark's mouth and then go underwater and
never resurface and she's gone. And they are saying swimmer
vanishes after possible shark encounter off the California coast.

Speaker 7 (31:35):
Was there blood in the water any sightings of that?
I would really be a going snatch could it if
there was cheaper just.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
I hope everybody had a happy holiday season. We wish
you the best. In twenty twenty six. This has been
the power of Morning show on.

Speaker 6 (31:59):
Shark Attack.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Best thing Ross heard the air. Oh look, I think
you guys all know how I feel about sharks, Like
I just it's great white sharks are my favorite animal
on the planet. But it's also the thing I fear
the most. Like I just cannot go past like my
waist in water in oceans. It freaks me out. I
can't imagine in most shark of Texas aund six feet

(32:21):
of water or less anyway, so that's that's still in
your waist. You're you're on their buffet anyway. I can't
imagine just swimming in great white shark infested waters. I
do like just going for a casual couple miles swim
or something with a group. What hasn't do That's Rosy's
daughter done that. That's like basking Robin's for a shark.

(32:42):
It's like the thirty one of you, which one does
it want? Well, the odds are pretty low. Yes, say
that to this fifty five year old that's yeah, now vanished.

Speaker 6 (32:50):
That's a young lady. Maah, think about it. Ox's gonna
be fifty five on Christmas.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
Yeah, man swimming.

Speaker 6 (32:59):
That's the end of the story too. There's no follow up.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
That's sad. Well again she's missing. I mean, I don't know.
I wonder how do they do this? How do they
confirm it. It's not like back in the movie Jaws,
where they just kill the biggest shark and cut it
open and see if she's in there. That's not how
this works. I mean, she's gone, she'd go. I just
so super said.

Speaker 6 (33:20):
That's a terrible start.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
Nothing to bury. What does he have to do with it?
We lung cancer? Uh we mentioned that earlier. But the
powerball did miss again last night, so an estimated one
point seven billion billion. On Christmas Eve. There were something
like nine million dollar winners across the country, none of
them though in Minnesota, I believe one in Wisconsin. I

(33:43):
think somebody double check that. Try harder, Wisconsin, try harder.

Speaker 7 (33:49):
That's the silver Tear'd be perfect.

Speaker 6 (33:54):
Just the one mil, just a cool one mill on
Christmas week.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
That great. We could it gets together, then you wouldn't
have to win as much. We could share it. She
doesn't want to share two or three hundred million she
wants or three million?

Speaker 5 (34:08):
Right?

Speaker 2 (34:08):
And then I would gift you I don't have that
many friends quarter of a cow. That's how we know
Marnie won the power balls. We're each getting a quarter
of a cow.

Speaker 6 (34:18):
And a freezer and maybe a fourth stall at the
cove house.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
It wouldn't matter, jeez. And then she'd ask for a
quarter of a cow. You guys know Quinn Hughes, right,
he plays for the Minnesota Wild. Quinn Hughes plays for
the Minnesota Wild. Uh. His brother Jack is reportedly dating
Tate McRae. Must be pretty nice being one of the

(34:44):
Hughes brothers. She's part of the confusion Tate McCrae. So
Jack Hughes and Tate McCrae reportedly in the mix. Tate's
the best. She's a great singer, very good dance. Sure,
and she's calmed down over there, Zachary, tell me more

(35:04):
about Tate McCray. Why don't you? Oh, she's worth a Google.

Speaker 6 (35:08):
You know who loves her is Taylor Heisey.

Speaker 7 (35:10):
Yep, they went, She and Parker went I think to
Chicago to see Yes that's in concert.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Yep, good memory there marts. How do you guys feel
about pluralizing names like Hughes. It's always frustrating.

Speaker 6 (35:28):
I mean the time of year, especially the Chris Christmas
cards from the Hughes.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
How would you say it sauce like me? Yeah, all
of the Hughes boys together would be what the hw brothers?

Speaker 5 (35:42):
No.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
But if you had to do the plural version of
their last name, the Hughes's, Hughes is I like the
first one h a Hughes's. I like the anti plural
you went with. Whether you just just take away the
ass together? Does that?

Speaker 7 (36:03):
Does anyone get grammatically affected by Christmas cards? If there
are there is a wrong apostrophe.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
Or well, how do you pluricize the bonus? Oh, bonus
is a great name? Good good question? The bone eye
Oh by.

Speaker 6 (36:22):
B o n i ye or b o n e
y ees.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
We go with the bo i b o n i
the bone the bone on your Christmas cards we have
in the past.

Speaker 4 (36:35):
We don't really ended out Christmas cards much anymore. But yeah,
people people refer to us as the bone eye, as
the bonus. You don't have flamingos in your front yard,
do you? I think those people definitely refer to you
as the bone Eye. A couple of TV notes that
I know people are keeping an eye on this week.

(36:56):
The Pluribis season finale is tomorrow, that's Christmas Eve, and
then two more episodes of Stranger Things, of course on Christmas.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
No three, No two, No three.

Speaker 6 (37:06):
I just looked this up yesterday.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
What you sure? No, it's two on Christmas Day, the
finales on New Year's Eve.

Speaker 6 (37:15):
I thought it was.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
No.

Speaker 6 (37:16):
I'm pretty sure it's three on Christmas.

Speaker 2 (37:18):
I hope you're right, but I think it's two and one.
But if you're right, that's fine.

Speaker 6 (37:22):
One because I looked up the length.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
You are one. Well, the finale is two hours plus.
There are three new episodes of Stranger Things on Chris fantastic.
The more the merrier. That's even better, thank you. So
three on Christmas, one on New Year's Eve. Yeah, they're
an hour eight, an hour fifteen, an hour six, even better,
and then two hours plus for the finale. Somebody on

(37:46):
Twitter said that the entire series is a little over
forty five hours. If you want to watch it, start
good time. It's fantastic, it's super fun.

Speaker 7 (37:55):
There are AMC theaters that are showing the finale on
New Year's Eve?

Speaker 6 (38:01):
Will you see it in the theater?

Speaker 2 (38:03):
No, we we thought about it, but we're not gonna.

Speaker 6 (38:05):
Yeah, we looked into it too, And I don't need
that crowd.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
No.

Speaker 7 (38:09):
Plus, the early shows are all sold out. So what
am I going to go to a nine pm movie?

Speaker 2 (38:15):
Vampire plus plus again. I got a TV divorce years ago.
I don't need to be in the theater with hundreds
of people. And like, two minutes into the finale, have
somebody go, who is that? It's Factna, just god, I'm
going home, going home, I'm going to park outside. Have
either of you started Pluribus yet or not?

Speaker 6 (38:34):
I've never even heard of it.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
Now you love it? Bonus Vince Gilligan, who did better
call Saul and Breaking Bad that it's fantastic. The season
finale is tomorrow. It's unlike anything I've ever seen. It's fantastic.
It's on Apple TV. You are yep, don't look it up.
Don't look it up, like, don't look up the plot.
I should say. Bonus already knows too much. If you
like Breaking Bead or almost like three clips of it
and it was obvious what was going on there, So

(38:56):
it's better to go and completely by. I would argue,
if you know nothing about it, that first episode hits
even harder. Okay, I still know nothing about it and
you're only one episode behind.

Speaker 6 (39:07):
Yeah, Rio Seahorn is.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
The yeah from the later Yeah yeah yeah. So Vince
obviously has a lot of faith in her that she
can do it. She's awesome in this, super good and
loved her in Better Calls. Well, I have a hunch
you maybe even more because it is it is a
little bit like Castaway, where there's a lot of scenes
where it's just her, like she has to carry the
whole show. It's great and she's good enough to do it.

(39:33):
Kim Wexler, That's what I've been told, right, that's the
character from Better Call song.

Speaker 7 (39:37):
Yeah, okay, so it's on my list. I don't have
Apple TV anymore, so tell Musty to get it.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
They have Musty doing. You don't have Apple TV at
the facility. Wow, give a seven car garage and no
Apple TV. Johnny Bones, you were in Costa Rica? Yeah,
the three hour Yes, So you went to the Winter
Meetings and then jumped from Florida to Costa Rica.

Speaker 4 (40:03):
Went to Costa Rica because my oldest friend who I've
known since I was two, like longer than I have memory.
His son was getting married in Costa Rica to a
Costa Rican girl. So it wasn't like a destination wedding.
It was they were married here in the States and
then and then had the wedding two years later in
Costa Rica.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
I was just trying to get his attention so I
could say that your hand was up the Costa Rica lady.
What hawk? Oh yeah, yeah, I would say. I would say,
I random Costa Rican lady. Ye, spin the wheel? Oh
yeah yeah.

Speaker 7 (40:36):
What is a Costa Rican wedding like that? Not a destination,
an actual Costa Rican wedding.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
I mean it was great. It was this they live.

Speaker 4 (40:43):
Her father runs a small coffee farm about an hour
and a half outside of the capital.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
So the service was at a Catholic church in a
small town, all in Spanish. Wow.

Speaker 4 (40:54):
And then the reception itself was at a I guess
they called it a country club, but it wasn't like
a golf course anything like that.

Speaker 2 (41:01):
I don't know exactly how to explain it. It was
just a nice event facility. You know.

Speaker 4 (41:06):
This was in Costa Rica because her friends wanted to
celebrate her getting married. She had gotten married in the
United States two years ago. They've been married for a while,
but they wanted to have a celebration in Costa Rica
for her friends, and then a bunch of his friends
came down there as well, So it was a lot
of Latin music, a lot of American. One of the
things that happens that these celebrations is they have a

(41:29):
liquor there that comes in a bottle like this that
is pink and sweet and such, and everybody just does shots.
Everybody does shots of this, and I was like, this
is going to get out of hand in a hurry.
Truth is that that liquor is ten percent alcohol, so
it's even not as strong as wine. Amateur hour, Yeah,
I call it amateur That's pretty hot.

Speaker 6 (41:52):
I got.

Speaker 2 (41:52):
But the reception went from like five to midnight, and.

Speaker 4 (41:58):
About ten o'clock they ran not a beer, but fortunately
they're like, don't worry, we got lots of tequila.

Speaker 2 (42:04):
So yeah, that went. Something like three medical emergencies came
out of the reception. It was pretty good. John Bonas,
this is why that's why I love you. That's why
I love you. I go, how is Costa Rica? Then
you break down for four minutes. The situation, what specifically
about the reception, what bruise was there, and how often

(42:27):
it was available. It was your encapsulation of the entire country.
But beautiful.

Speaker 4 (42:33):
I mean, it's a it's a country full of It's
become sort of the American tourist destination, in part because
a lot of people there speak English. I mean, it's
I don't know, just about everybody you meet there speak
some English at least.

Speaker 2 (42:48):
And Uh.

Speaker 4 (42:49):
It's known for its natural habitats and for its wildlife
and animals. It's full of rainforest, there's beaches, there's volcanoes.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (42:58):
And so you know, we spent there were three days
in San Jose, which is the capital of it, but
there's nobody stays in San Jose. You go to we
went to and Manuel Antonio National Park where you go
and walk through the rainforest and you see a guy
and he points out to you the sloths and the
trees and the monkeys and blah blah.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
Blahlo that super cool. Uh, And yeah, well it was
very cool.

Speaker 4 (43:21):
Actually we ended up seeing a couple in the forest,
but there was raining and they were just kind of
huddling in the tree. It's actually like looking at a
they look a lot when they're just huddled up in
the rain, so they look like they're a coconut, like
you wouldn't recognize it was a sloth, you know, they're
kind of wrapped up. And then we also saw like
some one just randomly at a tree by the beach.

(43:44):
We had monkeys kind of we had a pack of
monkeys run swing through the trees past our hotel, uh
while we were sitting out the bar overlooking the pool,
and then like four of them just formed a raiding
party and kind of went right through the hotel bar
and the pool area trying to grab such.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
So we got some we got regularly tea.

Speaker 4 (44:08):
Yeah, it was it was a mad It was the
young thugs that Yeah, it was great the drive and
these are fairly small monkeys, so it wasn't you know,
particularly scary, right, you make you want to make sure
you hold onto your phones.

Speaker 2 (44:23):
They apparently like iPhones. Yeah, right, check.

Speaker 4 (44:30):
And then then you go to the volcano which was
active from like nineteen sixty eight through twenty ten. It's
dormant now, but gorgeous area around there as well. Lots
of wildlife. Two cans like tropical paradise, but on lots
of mountains there, driving around, driving around it is can

(44:50):
be a little intimidating because there's a lot of overpasses
and such good trip.

Speaker 2 (44:55):
How was the booze situation on a scalegy Pink and
then they ran out of there, but they're still at
Tequila awesome? All right, Well, welcome back man. We'll see
