Of course it makes me laugh.

Yeah, great, like that bit you laugh at other people's expenses. Yesh, God,
it's that chair. Laughing is fun. Yeah, Laughing's great. It's
a nice time a year to laugh. What time of
year is bad to laugh? Well, January because of the

(01:33):
month of January sucks. That's even better. Yeah, good point
to laugh to get through it. You know, laughter is
the best medicine.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
It is. Yes, And Nike will Yeah. I've been taking
Nike on in a while. It's too much.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
Oh, your your Nike will free this year, so I
far even when you were sick, yeah, I mean you
were throwing up.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
That's not really the kind of sickness that you need.
NIQ will for Stay strong, brother, It's the best. Yeah,
it is. I I will take it every once in
a while. Can ask you a dumb question? Can I
ask the room a dumb question? Yeah? Wish Parish was here,
he would know this.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
If you've had alcohol problems in the past, do you
stay away from niquill.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Oh, that's a good question. That's a good question.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
Do they have a non alcoholic version of I don't
think so. Does o'dules have a wait? Does Nicola bruise
in it? Well, I mean it's gotta it's gotta have
some kind of alcohol content and what I don't know
what that is. I mean they make you swipe your
ID at Target well, yes, the original and this.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Is AI, so who knows if this is correct.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
Yes, the original liquid vix ni Quill contained about ten
percent alcohol by volume.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Uh they do off. I didn't know. I guess it does.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
Night Niquill cold and flu nighttime has ten percent alcohol
in it. Yeah, let's party. It's my favorite drug of
all time. So you definitely don't give that to kids.
I mean, what are they those well that pre made cocktails,
those like. You're not giving it to kids to get drunk.
You're giving it to kids to make them feel better.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yes, but I don't know.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
I had Nike Will as a kid. Hell yeah, man,
well yeah, well that was the eighties. But yeah, but
I also didn't know. I wasn't trying to get drunk.
I was trying to get not sick.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
We also played with lead toys back then. Though. You
can tell no, yeah, great, now you're never going to
give Louis Nike Will. You're going to rob him of
this freaking gift. It's the best.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Yeah, it is pretty good. There are times Louis Black
said it best. It's the only thing on the planet
that tastes red and green.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
Yeah, and when it when it hits and you try
and fight it. It's a it's a trip of its own.
That is the best window on the planet. I'm sure
a lot of people that do drugs chase certain windows.
As a Nike will fan. That moment you just described
is the best possible feeling now when you drink it,
because it's it's not the best tasting thing.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
It's fine.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
Not when you're dead asleep and you're out for seven hours, right,
because you're asleep. The best possible window is the WHOA
why I want to watch the end of this game?

Speaker 2 (04:17):
No you don't.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
You want to go and you fight it for like
twenty minutes and you're just in la.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Do a lot of this though, Yeah, swam, Yeah, it's
the best. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
No night Quill in twenty twenty five for you. No,
he's not the Winter Sea in twenty twenty five. No,
I only would take like I've taken like they have,
like not night quill, but like one of the cold
and flu bits, like the honey flavored or whatever.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
I've done that cnos.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
Yeah, I've taken that, but no night quill, And I'm
off um melatonin as well. I don't take anything at
night anymore to go to sleep. I just naturally go
to sleep. Must be nice. Yeah, well, I mean I
still get up a couple times at night, but I'm
trying not to take any of that stuff. According to
my Instagram algorithm, it's because of Cortisol's that's why you're

(05:08):
getting up in peeing twice a night. What's cortisol, Zach,
I don't know. You know everything man, not about doctor stuff. Yeah,
not about doctor stuff. Leave the man alone atol. Yeah,
I got I've got this, uh, this weird habit that's
been plaguing me. Waking up like a half hour before

(05:33):
my alarms supposed to go off.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
That's fun.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
And then not going back well I travel, I do,
I lay there, and then sometimes I do fall back asleep,
and then I wake up like tired as all hell
because I've I went back into my maybe not rem sleep,
but it's been very it's been bugging me. And then
when I don't go back to sleep, then I just
kind of sit there and I'm like, why what a

(05:57):
wasted time I should be sleeping still? Damn you internal clock.
Yeah I do that a lot too. I just get
up for no reason, grab a brush and put a
little makeup.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
Sometimes but I don't remember the last time I slept
through the night, like went to bed and then woke
up to my alarm.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
I don't remember when I did that last. Can you
do it tonight? M hm? You woke up before your alarm.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
Woke up at like two thirty I think, and then
like mid midnight and then like two thirty and then
it stayed up. No, I fell back asleep, but I
don't remember like a full night's sleep.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Maybe you should take melatone or now.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
Yeah, but I was taking too much of it, and
then I was just relying, maybe you're not taking enough
of it.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
I was taking like three of them. Take more. How
many do you take? Don't worry about it, baby?

Speaker 4 (06:54):
Yeah? Oh boy, your mix of melotonin and monster is
a Yeah. That's a combination that should be studied by
m from hell.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Melatonin and monster are playing the fillmore next Tuesday. They're
just battling it out every morning. Yeah, that sounds. You're
the only person I know that drinks energy drinks at night.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
I don't really do that anymore, but I used to
because it doesn't do anything to me. Now, somebody would
tell me it disrupts your sleep patterns and it's not
good for your sleep quality. All I know is if
I had to go to bed at nine o'clock, I
could hammer red Buller Monster.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
At eight fifty five and fall asleep like an angel.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
You know what I'm saying. But it doesn't keep me
up at all. Yeah, So are you're drinking it for
the taste? It's all placebo effects. I don't think it
has any effect on me.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah, I mean I.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
Haven't felt I haven't felt the kick of a monster
in like fifteen years.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Well, op the ante don't they have like super Monster? Yeah?
But I don't want all the sugar. No, no, no, no,
no no.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
I mean I'm gonna die anyway, right with my diet,
I'm gonna die either way. I gotta eat something as
clean as possible. You gotta stay away from the sugar.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
Yeah, but I don't think.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
I'm not trying to tell you how to live because
I have about one hundred pounds on you. But like,
I don't know if those are good for you even
without sugar in him. I mean, didn't the lady tell
you to stop drinking him because you were peen blood?

Speaker 2 (08:15):
That was for kidney stones? Oh? Yeah, Well, who cares?

Speaker 4 (08:18):
What year was the Auto Show, though I haven't had
Kidney's tones in years, and I peed those things out
like a champ. Didn't even feel him. Twenty fifteen or sixteen,
I got that stupid ass cam for nothing, penis cam
for nothing because I peed him out and it didn't
even hurt. I didn't even know they were out. Is
that footage on a drop box somewhere? Do you wish
you'd watch that?

Speaker 2 (08:39):
No? Isn't that like that? It can't be good footager.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
It's the inside, Yeah, it's the weird part of his penis. Yeah,
it's not the fun part. No, it's not mean. I
wouldn't watch his inside of his penis? But like, who's
would you watch?

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Who's inside of? Isn't this like a double list thing?

Speaker 4 (08:58):
Why would you want to see the inn side of
JJ McCarthy's penis.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
It's the inside.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
Gross, and they're all gross. Penises are gross. It's I mean,
they're not you. It doesn't sound I wouldn't call it gross.
The inside is it's disgusting. It's just a tube right
of skin and flesh and blood in your case, have
you ever seen a surgical video and been like, oh god, yeah,

(09:26):
but I'm curious. I've never seen the inside of a
penis before you nailed it, Sauce. This is like double list. Yeah,
this is some weird sounding nonsense. Yeah, this is some
kind of message board, can't. Yeah, watching surgery. That is
probably is somewhere. I'm sure there's a there's a reddit.
There's a subreddit for it. There's a subreddit for everything.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Go watch a colonoscopy, then you psycho.

Speaker 4 (09:49):
Yeah, Oh, why is that gross?

Speaker 2 (09:52):
It's the inside. It's literally a tube. Yes, it's a
poop tube.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
Pop Tue titled the podcast a lot less pink and
more brown than God. No me take a lap, no,
because I've heard when you get one of those, you
literally flush everything out of your body.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
It's as clean as a bung teaser as you'll see.

Speaker 4 (10:14):
Actually, I wonder how many people package that deal up
after you know, they get done with the kolonoscopy and
then just.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Tommy.

Speaker 4 (10:23):
Well, I was gonna say, wait until Tommy's forty five,
and we'll find out to Tommy's getting one early, just
just to be sure, you know, I'm I turned forty five,
what's seven months ago? I haven't done it yet. I
know you're supposed to win you're forty five. Yeah, I
get your bung teaser looked at. Well, now I'm afraid
Zach's gonna want to pay me for the video. Gross,
you're gonna pass out. Look at Johnny Bones. I think

(10:45):
I think they dope you up so much. Anyways, I
don't even I don't feel it. Oh, I bet Bonye
you've coused bonuses head of colonoscopy.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Of course. Did they dope you up? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
they doped me up? Yeah, pretty good, not fun.

Speaker 5 (11:02):
I don't know if it was officially a column ask
of me there some guy in an alley that's.

Speaker 4 (11:10):
Right back talking about alike and then what happens in
Costa Rica?

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Stay in. This is why you go to the GM meetings. Hey,
we got a lot to ask you about that. You
are you a Nike Will fan? We were just a lamentum.
I'm not a Nike Weill fan at all. Uh Do
I work with idiots? What's going on here? Guys are
missing out? I guess so.

Speaker 5 (11:34):
Uh So I read this thing yesterday with you know,
I hate passing along stuff that's just blatantly false. And
I have not fact checked this, but I meant to
because I found it like, it's made sense to me
that four sort of the invention of electric light where
which allowed us to like stay up that night. It

(11:56):
was so natural, it was very natural. The natural sleep
patterns for most people, and it's referred to a lot
in literature and such was a first sleep and a
second sleep, with a quiet hour in between. You'd go
to bed pretty early because it got dark, yeah, four
o'clock here, thirty here, right, and then you'd sleep for

(12:18):
like five six hours, and then you have like an
hour or so of quiet time that people talked about
like as a thing that everybody knew happened. You would
just be awake for like an hour in the middle
of the night.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Maybe get up and watch the office or something.

Speaker 5 (12:31):
Yeah, yeah, maybe read a book by candlelight, or talking
some of your thoughts or you know, conceive children these
you know, you'd find something to do for that hour,
little midnight delight maybe potentially, I mean you're both just
sitting there, you know, and then you would have a
second sleep. And that The reason that struck me is

(12:51):
like that seems to be kind of what I'm experiencing
right now.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
That struck me as.

Speaker 5 (12:59):
It made some sense with sort of what I'm feeling
right now, and what changed it is the electric light
and then sort of like you know, the eight hour
work day and you know these things that's sort of
you know, you've got to be up by seven am
to start your shift or six am to start your shift.
Therefore you can't really have like yeah, and you in
your uptil ten because you've got lights. So now you've

(13:19):
got to try and pack it all into one time.
But you're but they have found that natural body rhythms
do kind of end up doing that, and I'm finding
myself i'd happened to me not last night, Well, it
kind of happened to me last night, and it happened
to me the night before that as well, where I
woke up about two thirty in part because I had
to take the dog out and I could not I
did not want to go back to my body just

(13:40):
did not want to go back to sleep.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
I took the hour and I got up and I
planned a little bit.

Speaker 5 (13:45):
My next day, and then I went back to bed
and I slept till seven thirty or eight o'clock and
got going.

Speaker 4 (13:50):
So if we have seen the decline or maybe even
the elimination of this double sleep. Then nobody gave that
memo to Mark Parrish. No, this one still fully rated it.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yeah, not one.

Speaker 5 (14:03):
Well, maybe maybe Mike Mark has it right. He's got
that quiet hour built in in the middle of the night. Anyway,
you've got a quiet like five hours. Yeah, correct, you
might all want to fact check that. I don't know
if that's super but it makes sense to me. The
other thing that makes sense to me, and this is
something that was definitely clear when I was younger, was
when I was younger, I was working a job at

(14:24):
Big Boy as a line cook, and I had mornings,
so I would have or prep and so I would
have to do about this. It was the Big Boy
where now it's uh where it's basically France and across
the street from Southdale.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
Was there Big Boys in Minneapolis? Oh yeah, there's a
big one by the air. I mean, guys, I'm much
older than you. You're not any two years old, You're.

Speaker 4 (14:49):
Like fifteen years older than me. This is the early
fifty what fifty eight, fifty eight, you're thirteen years older
than me. Yeah, I worked at sixty years.

Speaker 5 (14:56):
I was nineteen eighty three or nineteen eighty four to
nineteen eighty I worked at a Big Boy.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
How many Big Boys approximately were there in Minneapolis Twin
cities at that time?

Speaker 2 (15:05):
I think they already started closing. I think there were
like four or five am I've never seen one in Wait,
wasn't there one in Monticello? Maybe? No idea? I think
there was.

Speaker 5 (15:19):
There was definitely one where what is it France On?
Tavern On France, A tavern On France and that's right
across the from South.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
Dale and Sasso get this in a half a second.
I don't know if the rest of you will. Sasso
get this in a half a second. I didn't even
know what big Boy was until Awesome Powers. You got
it Awesome Powers. So the Austin Powers reference I had.
I'd never heard of big Boy before.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Yeah. Interesting. So you were a lion cook at Big Boy.
I was a line cook at Big Boy. I was
a preping line cook at Big Boy.

Speaker 5 (15:45):
And on weekends, you know, I'd be out till I was,
you know, eighteen, nineteen twenty years old. I'd be out
till one am, and then i'd have to be working
at five point thirty in the morning. And what I
found out is that I could do that if I
got like a two hour nap after my shift in

(16:05):
because my shift would be over by like two o'clock.
You start like five thirty in the morning, be over
by like two o'clock. So, and I've heard Edison was
into that too. Like Edison would be like, oh, he
only needs like three four hours sleep hours of sleep
at night, and then you'd be like, you know, just
get me a good one hour nap. I love the
power Nap. So I don't know, And I think I

(16:27):
would assume Power Trip morning hosts or morning hosts, radio
morning hosts in general are subscribers to you don't need
that much sleep provided you get a good nap, you guys.

Speaker 4 (16:39):
Yes, So historically, in the history of the Power Trip
Morning Show, I bet I've averaged something like four to
five hours.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
A night, two hours during the day. Okay. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (16:48):
However, every study we've ever heard done, everything we've ever
read about, is that that's a disastrous formula that you
got to get seven to eight hours consecutively, splitting it
up into chunks. Well, I'm just saying I I think
we're slowly killing ourselves doing it the way that we're
doing it.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
I don't think it's great but it's the only way
we know how to do it. Corey. We're all slowly
killing ourselves. Yeah, it is the coffee, all right.

Speaker 4 (17:17):
John Bonus is here for the first time in weeks.

com keyword contests. Welcome back to the Power Trip Morning, Jo,
John Bones for the first time in weeks. Welcome back.
You went to the Winter Meetings, correct, yep? And that
was where Florida or Orlando, and then you spent a

(18:00):
handful of days who knows four or five, six, seven days?

Speaker 2 (18:02):
And I just wanted to stay six to seven in
case the kids are listening at five fifty two.

Speaker 4 (18:06):
In the morning, Costa Rica. But let's go back to
the Winter meetings. What'd you do, who'd you meet? Who'd
you slap on the back? Was gleaming?

Speaker 6 (18:13):
There?

Speaker 2 (18:14):
You know, the standard questions.

Speaker 5 (18:15):
It was most most of the beat writers. Gleaman was
not there for this one. Dan Hayes covered it for
The Athletic Aaron it was my first Winter meetings.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
It was interesting.

Speaker 5 (18:26):
I mean it was interesting in how much how much
opportunity you have to different talk to different managers across
the across Major League Baseball. And it was also interesting
to sign kind of get a sense of, you know,
the activity that can take place over three full days

(18:47):
in say the general manager suite, you know where you know.
We ended up sitting down with Derek Falley, I don't know,
two times, I think for probably forty five minutes each,
both to kind of get a scent of how he
viewed the team, what he thought he was gonna be
able to do during the offseason, but also get a
sense of like what do you do when you're meeting

(19:07):
with an agent, what does it look like. One of
the things he said, which I didn't think about, was
you know, they'll have they'll have, you know, an agency
come to the suite to talk about you know, various
free agents. But it's not just a single agent, like
there's an agency has several agents underneath it and they
all represent a couple of different players and so on,
so you've got a route. One of the questions is like,

(19:28):
do we have enough chairs in this room in our
hotel room to fit all of the agents that are
are with this agency. And you know, they have sort
of general discussions, but some some more specific discussions, and
I think we got a sense that during the meetings
we started in the general managers meetings, but then we
got a much further clear idea in the winter meetings

(19:50):
that they have they have enough money budgeted that they
were not going to trade away Ryan and or both
As and or Buxton for that matter. And then they
went out and signed Josh Bell three days later to
a seven million dollar contract, which is a little cheaper

(20:11):
than we thought we were going to be able to
get Josh belfor of at least that I thought they
were gonna be able to get Josh belfo and be
a little better hitter than I thought they were going
to be in the ending up adding to the lineup
this offseason. So and you definitely got a sense that
that was a possibility, or they sensed that that was
a possibility during the during the winter meetings by by
talking to them, So it was great.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
It was it was very busy. It was a little
more work and a little less networking than I expected to.

Speaker 5 (20:37):
Be because I had little less fun And you thought, Yeah,
what I would say is I think I probably need
to rearrange my personal schedule so I'm spending more time
networking than I am.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
With Dan Hayes. Then we.

Speaker 5 (20:54):
Potentially Dan Hayes or State of had some trinks with
Bobby Nangell went to Epcot with Betsy healthand it was nice. Yeah,
she's great, but I mean specifically, more of the national
writers that I don't get to see on a regular
basis probably should spend more time doing that than setting
and transcribing and that sort of thing.

Speaker 4 (21:13):
Zachary, Yes, sir, of course Bonus went to app Yeah,
drink around the world. How many times on so I
go to Animal Kingdom or Hollywood Studios of the Magic Kingdom.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
Of course Bonus goes straight to Appcot.

Speaker 5 (21:25):
I will tell you the highlight of Epcot though, to me,
was the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
It is awesome. It is really well done. It's not
super scary.

Speaker 5 (21:35):
Or something, but it's disorienting and you do feel and
it's got a great soundtrack, as you'd expect for the
Guardians of the Galaxy, right, And it's just it's just
a very fun ride.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
You know, that's not you will you know it's not.
It's not the big thrill that is.

Speaker 5 (21:51):
And there's a little different vibe when you're sort of going,
you know, rocking around through space and your car is
not necessarily facing the direction you're going, like, you're not
going in the right direction.

Speaker 4 (22:04):
You're kind of drifting around a little bit. It's cool,
It's cool, all right. So here's the main Twins question.
While you were gone, we switched leads from Joe Pohlad
to Tom Pohlad. Is this like switching from Meet Sauce
Paul Lambert to Dove Lambert? Or is this like switching
from Meet Sauce Paul Lambert to Elon Musk.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
You know what I'm saying, Like, I think it is more.
I think the last name counts more than the first name,
if that's your question. So we're just staying in the
Lambert family. Yeah, I mean we'll see. I mean we'll
see whether.

Speaker 5 (22:37):
The leadership of the team, of the ownership group. I mean,
I don't think it means that they're going to be
doing anything different in terms of budget, which is whatever, ultimately,
I mean ultimately ultimately is going to drive a lot
of the success or failure of this team, or certainly
in the past and as recently as two tenty twenty three,

(23:00):
their decision after they had won a couple of playoff
games to cut the budget by thirty to forty million
dollars was, you know, is why we are here, why
the fan base no longer trust the pole Ads, or
I mean, not that they ever really trusted the pole Eds,
but you know, distrust them that much more at this point.
And I can assure you that decision was not made

(23:21):
by Joe pole D on an island outside of the
rest of the pole D family, on the pole D
family interests, which by the way, Tom Tom pohl Ed
was the CEO of during that time.

Speaker 4 (23:32):
Right, So.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Is Tom young, younger or older than older than Joe?
I think? Yeah, I think you're correct.

Speaker 5 (23:40):
Yeah, So is that going to be a different Well, now,
what will be different is perhaps the communication or at
least Tom think and perhaps sort of the leadership at
that level. But you know that leadership only matters to
the extent that you you know, if you say they
didn't have good leaders at that level. I actually think
they have pretty good recently leaders already below that level.

(24:02):
I think, you know, Dave Saint Peter has done a
is a very detail oriented guide. You know, certainly there
could be differences in how things are done there. And
I think Derek Falvey is competent and does a decent
job of communicating what it is they're doing and why
they're doing it. So I don't know that that particular

(24:22):
skill that he seems to have better down better than
Joe is going to help that much more. It seems
a redundant skill to some extent, but I mean, we'll see.
I think it does change the dynamics a little bit
at the top. I you know, Tom Polett doesn't have
the history with Derek Falley that Joe Pollett had. Uh
And so I'm not sure, you know, Fallvey's job is

(24:43):
as safe as it was a month ago.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
But I also don't know how.

Speaker 5 (24:50):
Safe fall They's job was given that they've had two
three down years in a row, and you know they've
already fired their manager and they fired the hitting coach
the year before that. I mean, that's the sort of
thing that goes up the ladder, you know where people
get on the hot seats as the insulation beleave them
sort of deteriorates.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
So I don't know, we'll see.

Speaker 5 (25:13):
I don't expect it to be any significant change in that,
which is the primary criticism of the pole Ads, which
is they don't invest in the team, especially in this
particular case when it was time to invest in the team.

Speaker 4 (25:27):
So when you go to the Winter Medians and you
got a whole bunch of beat writers and the pole
Ads are obviously not well liked in the Twins that
he's from a sports perspective, well said, the front office
of the Twins is down there. Is it one of
those like, hey guys, here's some donuts, here's some couples massages,
you have access to the penthouse? Is it? Basically they

(25:48):
whine and dine you so you don't rip the hell
out of them for the next twelve months.

Speaker 5 (25:52):
That is absolutely not what happened, then, hand you the
they do that, they should do that.

Speaker 4 (25:57):
They should bro you know, like subtly bribe the hell
out of all of you. Hey your room, you want
cheese kurts? Yeah? Right? Oh?

Speaker 2 (26:04):
Thanks?

Speaker 4 (26:05):
Everybody want to anybody want to sudsy HJ.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
I'll need to get a sy HJ. While you were
down there, did not though, Man, you did not do
right and not? Uh yeah, which the world is that at?
By the way, I have a college, but it's probably
not a stands for experimental.

Speaker 4 (26:27):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (26:27):
There is a league wide. Every team has a manager.
Breakfast with the manager. Oh that you it's a decent,
decent hotel breakfast. It sounds like it's a kids summer camp. Honestly,
Breakfast with the manager. You fill up a table of
ted or something, and there's the Beat reporters and a
couple of people from the Pure staff and Derek Shelton,

(26:48):
who you guys have met.

Speaker 4 (26:50):
He was great, He's awesome. Uh do you guys have waffles?
But yeah, the son of a bitch. I don't know
if affle or pancakes. I can't remember if it was
the pancakes, I mean pancakes. Derek seems like a kind
of guy that wants a good waffle.

Speaker 5 (27:05):
But the problem I would say that that is the
last thing from a you know, subtle bribe, because nobody
wants to be up at eight am after the night
before at the winter meetings, when everybody's at the bar
until you know two am.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
So that's actually feels more like a punishment for all involved.
That would be a great that's a great metaphor.

Speaker 4 (27:24):
If all the Twins beat writers show up and Derek
Shelton's there with a couple of soggy flat pancakes, don't
talk about that, and you go to the you go
to the Mets Winter meetings and they have just heaps
of Belgian waffles, layer and powdered sugar and syrup.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
You go, well, god dang it, it's Twins even cheap
on breakfast.

Speaker 5 (27:44):
It's all in the same ballroom, it's all the same food.
But that would be an interesting change. We were thinking
about what we really and here's the thing that we
all know. Nothing is going to happen for the Twins
at the Winter meetings. Don't the Twins don't make moves
that that means you're going there just for.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
The breakfast, and the right off he's going to jail.

Speaker 5 (28:06):
Our point is that, you know, we should have the
winter meetings where like the Mets get to go and
the Yankees get to go to the Red Sacks and
the Dodgers the Blue Jays of Sun and then we
need like the early spring meetings, something like late January
where the mid tier and lower chier market all show up,
where we go through that which has been picked over
on the shelves.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
And go and go.

Speaker 4 (28:26):
You know, hey, you know it's like the Nerds too,
where the alphabet has stayed at the nice Hotel downtown
and the Nerds stayed at the Hotel Coral, Essex exactly,
and the Twins are at the Hotel Coral. Mets and
Yankees offer Manny's breakfast, the Twins offer Perkins.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Nothing wrong with get just to get.

Speaker 5 (28:46):
There was a divider between the in the ball rooms,
the cool kids table.

Speaker 4 (28:54):
We'll do front paid sports in a second. We'll talk,
we'll talk Coast Arica later. I want to see if

Gosh Sports presented by Holiday Stations. Holiday Station stores by

Charlie bucket. You gotta buy a ticket, yeah, mack go,
Oh no, I'm absolutely, I'm all. You know me.

Speaker 5 (32:23):
I like my theory is I wanted I want to do.
I want to them with like fifty friends. I want
to I want to win with like ten friends.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
I want us all to have just a crapload of money,
because it'd be much more fun to live that lifestyle
with like ten ten of your friends than it would
be to just live a life.

Speaker 4 (32:38):
All right, well, then do this, do this when win
it yourself and just give us and split it between
like the ten members.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
Of the power morning check. Good point. Do you take
the tax hit, we take the cash? Okay, all right?

Speaker 4 (32:49):
Could I seven hundred and eighty one point three million
is the cash value?

Speaker 2 (32:53):
So you could do some damage with that. About four
hundred million after taxes. I'll take it. Everybody gets it's
forty everybody happy about that?

Speaker 4 (33:03):
Oh yeah, sure, it's way too much for Marnie and Musk,
but the rest of us, they're out and hawk and
I'd go to the scene, daddy. All right, let's do
a front page sports. Here's the deal, sauce. When when
Rock Party throws an interception, normally you go to Twitter
and post a picture of Forrest Gump waving. Let's tweeting

(33:26):
at me.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
I get it. Yeah yeah.

Speaker 4 (33:28):
Last night Rock Purty threw five touchdowns. The Niners were
winners forty eight to twenty seven over the Colts. His
one interception was a pass that went high, but it
hit Juwan Jennings in the hands and then popped up
in the air and Cambine and picked it off.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
So our guy not a great throw, but it's not
his fault. It hit him in the hands.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
Yeah you got anyways, So Brock Purty throws a career
high five touchdowns. It goes for two hundred and ninety
five yards. The San Francisco forty nine Ers have won
five straight games. They are eleven and four sneakily. I
mentioned this like a week or two ago, that nobody's
talking about the Niners. If they win their last two games,
and now it is the Bears and the Seahawks, both

(34:11):
great records. Yeah, if they win their last two games,
the Niners are the number one seed in the NFCS.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (34:18):
So they have snuck up on everybody. They didn't punt
for the second straight game. That's the first time they've
done that in like seventy five years the Niners.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
Something like that. I don't think they've punted in December.
Maybe they had a buye. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (34:33):
They've also scored in twenty three straight quarters. That's their
longest streak since nineteen ninety five. Here's a stat for
you non party fans. Okay, I think the Niners have
had a couple of decent quarterbacks in their history.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
Correct, Yeah, very good. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (34:49):
Elite Rock Party is the first Niners quarterback ever to
throw five touchdowns on Monday Night Football. He's also the
first Niner quarterback of any kind to throw five or
more touchdowns in any game since Steve Young threw six
in Super Bowl twenty nine. Geez monster, good, Now here's

(35:10):
the deal. Rock Party. Fifth in the NFL in quarterback
rating one O two point one. He's fifth because that's
what he does. So they play a lot of country,
basic sauce. You can do this.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
And I'm bringing this up for two reasons. Number one
because again I just think he's very, very good.

Speaker 4 (35:29):
And by the way, not only is he good, man,
every story about perty what a good freaking dude. Yes, man,
everybody loves him. He sounds like the nicest kid of
all time. And I should say, I don't know if kid.
He's probably like twenty seven.

Speaker 6 (35:41):
Now it doesn't matter, noye the twenty five, the wave,
there was no no, I'm getting the I'm getting your
that's gonna pay.

Speaker 4 (35:52):
Off in a second. Let's let's get to this first.
So he has a one o two point one passer rating.
He's fifth. Name the four quarterbacks above him, and again
there's a reason I'm bringing this up as well. Stafford
Stafford is number one. Allen Josh Allen is number four,
slightly ahead of Brock Purty. Drake May is third. And

(36:18):
I'm glad this is the one you're forgetting. And that's
exactly why I was going to bring this up. Let
me say it like this, the guy that's second over
Now I shouldn't say Overwhelman very likely to not make
the playoffs, and he has thrown thirty two touchdowns and
five interceptions and his team is not going to probably
make the postseason. Think about that for a second. Thirty

(36:40):
two and five, thirty two touchdowns, five picks. Jared Goss, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
Isn't that?

Speaker 4 (36:47):
Is that the best stat line in the history of
football for a team that hasn't made the postseason? Thirty
two and five that should be a guaranteed playoff spots.
If you have a yeah, you know six and how
they've changed to one touchdown interception ratio, Well, they're really
banging up.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
Seven like the Vikings beat them. They're both Vikings might
end up with a third place schedule.

Speaker 4 (37:10):
Yea. He throws sixty eight point six percent completion percent,
and that's fantastic, right anything nipping seventy is outstanding. A
one oh nine point four passer writing second in the NFL,
thirty two touchdowns, five picks, and it looks like they're
going to come up short.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
That's freaking nuts. That's Day's number two. You said in
that two behind Matt Stafford.

Speaker 4 (37:30):
Stafford has forty touchdowns, five interceptions.

Speaker 2 (37:34):
Stafford's incredible, and that's freaking nuts. Yeah, that's insane. And
he's here in two days.

Speaker 4 (37:41):
Speaking of which, now here's here's why I brought up
the Brock Party Forrest Gump waving. Yeah. Yeah, So it
just so happens that the night that Brock Party, on
Monday night, football throws five touchdowns and does all these things.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
And he just looked spectacular. He was so good last night.

Speaker 4 (37:56):
I go to Twitter, and I'm like, I wonder what
Sauce is saying on Twitter when party's lighting this place up.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
Sauce really only tweeted once last night.

Speaker 4 (38:03):
Oh god, ten hours ago, he tweeted, the Holiday is
a top three Christmas movie ever? Yeah, it is. We
watch We watched that, and then we watched because we
started it. We were downstairs and doing some Santa Claus things.

(38:24):
You know, Louis doesn't understand what you're saying if you
tell him other Yeah, no, I don't.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
Yeah, it's not it won't be. It will still be
a surprise to him.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
No. I was putting something together right in front of him, right, yeah, No,
I was putting together one of those little Tykes cars. Yeah,
and uh a little frustrating. I'm not good when I
can't do something right away. But my wife, my wife
put the holiday on and.

Speaker 2 (38:53):
We end upsing it.

Speaker 4 (38:56):
It's Jack Black, Cameron Diaz, the lady that wouldn't Jack
on the Uh that lady and then uh, the really
attractive English.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Dude Law.

Speaker 4 (39:14):
And uh, good show, you said, Yeah great, it's it's
just about Uh. Cameron Diaz has a ton of money
and she does she rights, makes trailers, and this guy
breaks She breaks up with this guy and wants to
get away, so she moves with Kate Winslet, who was
in England and also breaks up with the guy, so
they kind of switch spots. Kate Winslet comes to l A,

(39:37):
Cameron Diaz goes to London or England or wherever. And
then Cameron Diaz falls in love with you Grant because
Hugh Grant your Jude Law. Thank you moment, Jude Law
shows up at her door hammered, as Tommy would say.
Dream scenario, and then uh, Kate Winslett falls in love
with Jack Black.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
It makes sense. It's a great film. I love it.

Speaker 4 (40:00):
I have a suggestion. Now you don't have to do
what I say. It's your social media account. Yeah, you know,
I'm not your boss. It might be your conscious a
little bit. I'm a little bit like your degenerate Jimminy
Cricket control more of me than you know, That's what
I mean. Yeah, I think it's the other way around.
I think I control more of you than you know.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
Yeah, that's what I think. I said exactly. Yeah, yeah,
So I have a suggestion.

Speaker 4 (40:25):
Yeah, every time Perty has a bad game or blows
it or throws a bad pick, the gump wave is
still on. Okay, but even next year, like in September,
if Party has a terrible game, or sorry, other way around,
if he has an awesome game, if he's just lighting
it up, just tweet about holiday. Okay, it just he

(40:45):
clearly wasn't watching the game. It's just The Holiday is
a top three Christmas movie of all time.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
It was awesome. It's so obvious he wasn't watching Brockport
light it up that he had to tweet about the holiday.

Speaker 4 (40:57):
So I think it'd be funny if next September per
he throws four or five touchdowns.

Speaker 2 (41:01):
It's just I can't wait to watch The Holiday. Yeah,
I love lost great. So what are your other top two?

Speaker 4 (41:08):
If This is top good Christmas Vacation and probably the
two home alone movies together.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
What about Elf? ELF's fine Elf A two behind Christmas Vacation.

Speaker 4 (41:18):
Christmas Vacation was on last Yeah, standing, it's a great
one hundred melody.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
Where do you stand on a Christmas story?

Speaker 4 (41:26):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (41:26):
Which one is that? That's the one with you know,
shoot your eye out?

Speaker 4 (41:30):
Mediocre medieval Yea, it's the worst movie it's ever been produced. Crazy,
that's terrible, but it's a wonderful life. I've never seen that. Yeah,
I got like a half hour, I got two. Yeah,
that's boring.

Speaker 2 (41:42):
Yeah, I think Tommy and hogs Daddy loved that. Yeah,
it's a classic.

Speaker 4 (41:47):
It's it's very long, friction on right, but it's definitely
something you should commit to watching at least once in
your life Christmas.

Speaker 2 (41:56):
That's where he sticks his tongue on the pole exactly.
It's it's okay. No, it's probably overrated. Yes, what do
you think, Corey? I think it's fine. I like it.
I don't love it, but I don't hate it like sausage.
I agree. I'm with you. It's terrible.

Speaker 4 (42:10):
Diehard, Diehard. I don't think i've ever seen the first one.
It's the best one and it's not even close. That
is a terrific movie. Yeah, holds up to I'm too
busy watching The Holiday and being called very horrible things
on the internet.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
For watching the Holly.

Speaker 4 (42:26):
You've never seen we practice, Yeah, let's practice. The Niners
won last night forty eight twenty seven brock pretty two
hundred ninety five yards and five touchdowns. That's a career high.
The Holiday is a top three Christmas movie of all time.

(42:47):
What really matters is next scores and stats around the
world of sports. We'll talk to Mike Grim a little
bit about the Gopher Bowl game, which is just three
days away. We can still talk to Bonus about Costa
Rica Marty later. This is the Power Trim Morning Show

change your life with something else. My Grim is here,
John Bonus is here. Marty Gellman will be here in
like thirty minutes. The Minnesota Wild host the Nashville Predators
said it at seven o'clock. The Wild lost five one

(44:00):
of the Avalanche on Sunday. Can't blame him. The Avalanche
the best team in hockey. That's nap Day seven game
win streak for the Wild. The Wild hour twenty two
to ten and five only if she's five three. Nashville
fifteen sixteen and four head coach Andrew Burnett remember him,
huh oh yeah, I want to do I want Zach
to go last. I want Sauce to go first. What

(44:20):
is he Tommy, Oh, Sauce, you go first? Sure, we'll
go Sauce, Grim, Bonus, Zach. Okay, everybody can guess. The
Wild host the Nashville Predators tonight.

Speaker 2 (44:33):
The Nashville Predators.

Speaker 4 (44:35):
Did they start playing hockey in the National Hockey League
the same year before or after the Minnesota Wild?

Speaker 2 (44:43):
Same before or after? I think it's the same. I'm
gonna say the same.

Speaker 4 (44:52):
Grim after after, bonus after, so same.

Speaker 2 (44:59):
After, Zachary.

Speaker 4 (45:01):
I know this because I remember being a hockey fan
and I was like, I must have been four or
five years old, and I didn't have a hockey team
to be a fan of yet, because the Wild hadn't
weren't in existence of two thousand.

Speaker 2 (45:15):
So I would say.

Speaker 4 (45:16):
Nashville was before the Wild probably ninety six, ninety seven,
ninety eight.

Speaker 2 (45:24):
Wowchus.

Speaker 4 (45:25):
So if I have it right, I believe there were
like the three or four teams that were announced at.

Speaker 2 (45:30):
The same time.

Speaker 4 (45:30):
It was like Columbus, Minnesota, Nashville, and I feel like
there's one other one doesn't matter, Phoenix and or maybe
even Atlanta.

Speaker 2 (45:37):
It doesn't matter.

Speaker 4 (45:38):
And Nashville was the first one that was ready, like
had a stadium ready, had an arena ready. So they
were the first ones to get the green light, and
they started in nineteen ninety eight.

Speaker 2 (45:48):
The Wild started in two thousand. Yeah as a kid,
I love the Predators. Wow, well, said I bet you're
on an island. Yeah, very well, said Zachis. What really matters, though,
is this.

Speaker 4 (46:00):
There are some Christmas movie facts from people dot Com,
great website.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
You love people.

Speaker 3 (46:07):
I do.

Speaker 4 (46:07):
My mom's been getting it since the concepts not generally
you like people. No, you're a people, get like about
five people, you know, Soiling Green is still people. They
told us they were going to change their recipe, but
it's still people. Isn't that the bad guy in conne Air, No,
that's Cyrus the Virus. No, who's the guy Buscemi plays.

(46:28):
Isn't it Silent Green? No, it's something like that. Malcolvich
was Cyrus the Virus? Right, that's a great film. No,
yeah he was Holidays. Yeah, great holiday Christmas film. They
land in Las Vegas, they sure do.

Speaker 2 (46:44):
Yeah. Did you see in the theater? Because I did?
Probably it's great. I absolutely saw that. It is weird.
I've seen conne Or.

Speaker 4 (46:52):
I think I've seen conye Are once, which is crazy
because I believe I've seen Gone in sixty Seconds about
nine hundred times, so good. I've seen National Treasure of
course five hundred times. I've I've seen The Rock probably
seven hundred and sixties two times, and then the movie.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
Then I saw Connor once. Don't like it. I thought
it was very okay, Ghost Riders terrible.

Speaker 4 (47:14):
Gone in sixty Seconds is so me though, because it
is like the miniature version of a heist. Yeah, it's
heisting fifty cars, right, It's boosting fifty cars in twenty
four hours, and that requires.

Speaker 2 (47:27):
Planning, coordination, A black light, stealth, a black light I have.
I'm Max today.

Speaker 4 (47:35):
Max by the way, at six thirty two on Tuesday,
December twenty third, the first words out of Max's mouth
flesh light gotten to make a grand age? Is that
is your debut single today? Just top r A flesh
light gone sixty seconds is outstanding except for the fact
that the biggest car thief in America rolls back into

(47:57):
town and all of a sudden, cars go missy and
then they don't.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
Know who's doing it.

Speaker 4 (48:01):
Hey man, But you got to prove it. You got
to catch him in the act. Yeah, that's how the
system works. You can't just say this. Remember the guy
rolls up and he goes, I don't know the man,
this feels like Memphis Rains to me. He said, it
felt like it.

Speaker 2 (48:12):
Yeah. Great. Got to prove it, though, man, I love
that movie. Fantastic.

Speaker 4 (48:17):
In the Muppet Christmas Carol great film, the flowing look
of the Ghost of Christmas Past was achieved by submerging
the puppet in a water tank.

Speaker 2 (48:28):
Makes sense. I've never seen it all the way through,
and I freaking love the Muppet You should watch it.
You should see it. I probably should.

Speaker 5 (48:37):
Kane plays it straight, yeah, which is what was probably
the coolest thing about it, Like, yeah.

Speaker 4 (48:43):
He plays it like he's on a in an unstage
Shakespeare right right, and then the Muppets there's no little
weak there's.

Speaker 5 (48:50):
No little you know, side eye. It's it's he's playing
it straight.

Speaker 4 (48:55):
Right.

Speaker 2 (48:55):
You look at Gonzo like you're Daniel day Lewis, like
we're doing this for real. That's smart. I love it, man.
I wish Michael Caine was here right here in the studio. Yeah. Great,
case off the next four days, though.

Speaker 4 (49:10):
The Kansas City Chiefs are moving in twenty what is
it thirty one, twenty twenty thirty one to a three
billion dollars domed stadium that will be in Kansas, not Missouri.
They are also building a new practice facility in a
KC suburb that is also in Kansas.

Speaker 2 (49:29):
Interesting. So if the Bears move to.

Speaker 4 (49:32):
Indiana or wherever the hell they move, right, we've heard
that would be a dome stadium. Kansas City is going
to be a dome stadium. I'm eventually going to get
my wish. Yeah, I'm a grim. I'm in the minority. Yeah,
I specifically in the playoffs. I don't like when the
biggest games are on the line all of a sudden,
it's a slip and slide elements, Right, when the elements

(49:55):
eliminate an edge in the randomness of slipping and not
catching a ball because your hands are numb, It's like, well,
but the skill of this team is now negated. It's not.

Speaker 2 (50:08):
I I know I'm in the I think vast minority, right.

Speaker 4 (50:12):
I think most football fans love the elements, love the wind,
love the snow. I like the best teams on fair
equal turf without getting rained wind snow, I hate it.
I like indoor games, so bring it on. Yeah, more
dome stadiums. I wonder what that means.

Speaker 5 (50:29):
But for the Kansas City Royals, because Kansasity Royals have
been looking for a new stadium for a while, trying
to get a deal done. They are part of the
same complex as the Kansas City Chiefs, the place they
share the same parking lot, et cetera. I think part
of the reason that you didn't have to get the
Royals stadium was because you had. Well, you guys are
all you guys have your own area there, like you

(50:51):
know now that the Chiefs are moving out of there
and the Royals, and the Royals have been lobbying for
a new been that's why we don't like them. They've
been lobbying for a new stadium for a while to
the point where that's it's perceived that's why they have
spent money. I'm like Bobby wit Junior and a coupletown right,

(51:17):
I think, yeah, they were trying to move it down downtown.
I'm just wondering if there's a sort of Okay, we
got to take care of we got to take care
of the Royals now that the Chiefs have been taken
care of aspect of this, So that.

Speaker 4 (51:28):
Would be to want to be like in Kansas City, Kansas.
So they'll still yeah, right across the Kansas City Chiefs.
Outside of Missouri and Kansas. If you asked most of
America what state is Kansas City, and I think a
lot of people would just dress Kansas. So it wasn't
that after they won their first Super Bowl, it was
like when Trump was running, Trump said something like, congratulations

(51:48):
to everybody in Kansas.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
You're getting emails. Oh no, I don't care either way.
I'm just stating a fact.

Speaker 4 (51:54):
It doesn't matter. If you don't care, you get an emails.
The president didn't know, so yeah, now you're really getting emails, sauce. No,
what was the name of the car Nick Cage loved
in Gone in sixty seconds? Well, nickname, it was a
It was a Shelby something Coop and he called it
eleanor knew. I liked you, man, dude, I've seen that

(52:15):
movie a million times. Ord manh yeah, because something always
went wrong. You always had a hard time boosting it. Yeah,
it's a sweet car. I would buy one of those
if I do.

Speaker 2 (52:27):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (52:28):
I spend money on other things. Steelers wide receiver DK
metca Wait is it your turn? It's your turn?

Speaker 2 (52:33):
Yeah? What really matters is this? Well? Here do that one.
I got an update on that. Do the DK Mekay.

Speaker 4 (52:38):
Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalfs suspended two games for punching
a fan in Ford Field on Sunday. The fans using
a slur. Yeah, yeah, it was more of a slap.
It was like it was like a It was a
He didn't push with a fist. He missed, he missed,
he missed. But like I said yesterday, I don't even

(52:59):
know what this guy says. I'm on DK's side. Ye,
DK shoul get suspended. You can't punch fans, but I
guarantee you I hate the fan more than I hate DK.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
If he said what he allegedly said, burn him alive.

Speaker 4 (53:10):
What did he allegedly say? I think he allegedly right.
I think it was the N word. And then I
think he's a a sea word too. We he called
his mom the seawell. Well, he is denying using a slur,
but of course he is. But yeah, but if that's
the case, If that's the case, knock his jaw off
like Jake Paul. Yes, but I told you, without even

(53:31):
knowing the situation, the fan is the douchebag in this situation.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
I promise you that guy sucks. Yeah, the twos wearing
blue hair. That should tell you.

Speaker 4 (53:41):
The two game suspension for Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf
could be costly if upheld. Based on his contract, the
suspension would void not just the rest of his salary
for this season this is from me and Rappaport, but
forty five million in future guarantees twenty five million fully

(54:01):
guaranteed next season and twenty million guaranteed for injury in
twenty twenty seven. So you know, again there's a lot
of dott and of viz and crossing of t's there.
If if DK really heard all of that stuff that
truly was said, and I don't.

Speaker 2 (54:19):
Think he would have punched him if he didn't say it.
That's right.

Speaker 4 (54:21):
I'm on DK side here. Yeah, the NFLPA has got
to say, we can't. We can't let him get all
this wiped away or have this up for grabs because
of some jackass.

Speaker 2 (54:32):
You take the suspension.

Speaker 4 (54:33):
I mean, if he loses tons of money because of
some dumb prick in the stands, was it because in
the contract he had to play a minimum number of
games or no idea? That's just what And maybe it's
just the guarantee is void. That doesn't mean the Steelers
won't still give him the money. Maybe it's just they
could get out of it now if they want to.
He happens to be a really good wide receiver. But

(54:55):
it is just it just it's the other thing that
sucks is now it's just another reason for athletes to
never go to the rail. Yeah right, because what didn't
the first story we hear, wasn't it like we DK
was going over there to sign something. That was the
first rumor. I don't know if that was true. Maybe
that was just thrown out here that he had been
DK had reported this guy to other the last time

(55:17):
he was in Detroit. Yeah, he reported this to the
NFL security before, and so I don't I don't think
he was going over The autograph rumor was completely bunk. Yeah,
I think the video I saw was there was no
autograph situation. This guy needs to be just permanently banned
from NFL games. There was was Jackson deal earlier this
year where he shoved it was it this year he
shoved a fan as well as he was leaving and

(55:40):
he did not get suspended. So there's also, you know
something along those lines. I and fans just man, yep, Yeah,
I know it's tough because he because he technically had
a moment of stupidity.

Speaker 2 (55:53):
But I'm on team DK here big time.

Speaker 4 (55:55):
Anybody else Yeah, yeah, anybody on the second well, of course,
but you called my mind before we knew what he said.

Speaker 6 (56:03):
Right.

Speaker 4 (56:03):
In general, I just I'm like, this has to be
DJ side D's right here, swing away, Meryl, all right,
more of what really matters after this, This is the
Power Trip morning show on the fan Humid all right,

(56:28):
more of what really matters, scores and stats around the
world of sports, and in between, sauce will change your
life with something else. Hell yeah, hey, go for football
plays Friday three point thirty in Arizona again, something called
New Mexico.

Speaker 2 (56:42):
That's right here on the fan.

Speaker 4 (56:44):
Grim announced what two segments ago, that they are sending
you down there.

Speaker 2 (56:48):
You'll be read get to go. Yeah, so you'll get

Yeah, that might be the highlight of the weekend. With
the golfer game. Yeah, one thirty.

Speaker 4 (57:23):
Guards, he will have the pregame show here, okay, and
then three thirty kicks off against New Mexico.

Speaker 2 (57:29):
Do we know anything about this team?

Speaker 4 (57:31):
Lobuls are nine and three. They hadn't been to a
bowl game in like eight, nine, ten years. Twenty sixteen
was their last bowl game. Their previous four bowl appearances
all at the New Mexico Bowl. Oh, which was quite frankly,
until yesterday, I didn't really know that there was a
New Mexico Bowl when I was looking at this. They
haven't been like out of the state for a bowl
games in like twenty two years, so they'll be excited.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
They're nine and three.

Speaker 4 (57:51):
They won. Their travel very far, yes, all the way
to Phoenix Conference. They're in the Mountain West, so they
were co champions. There was a it was a weird deal.
There was a four way tie. Four teams were six
and two. Uh. They beat San Diego State in the
last game of the year to force a four way tie,
and then the Mountain West had some weird tiebreaker that

(58:13):
eliminated New Mexico from playing in the championship game. Was
Boise State, who won the championship game, and I can't
even remember who which what other team might have been?

Speaker 2 (58:23):
You know, yeah, so us who played in the Mountain
West Championship? Who me, Yeah, New Mexico And it was
not New Mexico, thanks for listening. It was Nevada. It
was Nevada and Utah State, No, neither it was it
was Boise State, And I forgot who they played. Anyway,
they got They got aced out.

Speaker 4 (58:42):
Of us, even though they beat San Diego State, who
who was had the At one point people were talking
about them being a playoff team because they were winning
that that league, So that league I don't think.

Speaker 2 (58:51):
Is as good as it has been. But we're going
to win. We're gonna win this. If we play our game,
I think we should win. Okay, Yeah, What really matters though,
is this.

Speaker 4 (59:00):
I think Corey knows the answer to this, So Corey,
don't say it if you know it right away. Who
was originally slated to play the Will Ferre Will Ferrell character?

Speaker 2 (59:11):
Elf?

Speaker 4 (59:14):
Do you know?

Speaker 2 (59:15):
Corn? I mean, I have a guess. What's your guest?

Speaker 1 (59:20):
Ben Stiller Nope, Tim Allen, nope, Bill Cosby who died
around that time, Tyler Perry, Maddy Fresh that would have
been a good guest, Cory.

Speaker 2 (59:41):
Who's your guest?

Speaker 4 (59:42):
My guess is Farley, but I don't know. He was
supposed to be Shrek. He was supposed to be the
voice of Shrek. But it's not Farley Tupac. Is it
a non comedian, No, it's a comedian. Is it a
Saturday Zacho said Jim. He it was originally slated to
star in Elf. Will Ferrell nail? Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's

(01:00:06):
so many good scenes in that. Yeah, Jim Carrey's awesome.
They made the right choice. I agree, it wouldn't have
been the same he did the snowball fight. Yeah, it's
all yeah, unbelievable. Plus Jim Carrey was already the Grinch.
You can't also can't also whip The Matt movie sucks.

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):

let's watch the Jim Carrey one.

Speaker 4 (01:00:34):
It is.

Speaker 7 (01:00:35):

just been like forty minutes.

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
It's it's it's asked people forget that. The animated one
is about three minutes long. Yeah, it's it's not.

Speaker 7 (01:00:45):
Long, no commercials, it's not I don't even think it's
twenty minutes.

Speaker 4 (01:00:48):
I don't. I have not seen the You can watch
the original one in one cafe and commercial break.

Speaker 7 (01:00:54):

pal Charlie Swans. You've never met, I've never met in person,
but we text him talk more than people know. Him
and I have a lot of similarities. He loves to
rip and we love ripping the same things. That's one

(01:02:45):
thing I'm a little jealous about with basketball because I've
sat on the glass before and it's really, it's amazing.

actually on a group meet. Charlie and Rosie are on
a group chat together.

Speaker 2 (01:04:16):
So Rosie got a plus one and he's bringing DJ

and little Louie goes to bed about seven thirty. There's
gotta be rules against that, right I wouldn't. You can't

changed it. In the original movie, he says one eight
hundred spank Me caused massive problems for parents when kids

hundreds of dollars in phone bills.
