We trade cruise myths and Halloween quirks for a fog-soaked North Dakota hunt that turns into a rescue mission with a tractor, a stuck tow truck, and a missed steak reservation. Along the way we rant about Minnesota sports, praise a local band, and count candy for 1,700 kids.

• Missing-the-boat worries and passport realities
• Beggars Night, candy etiquette, and porch-light duty
• 1,700 trick-or-treaters and crowd control
• Local band with tight harmony and small-venue charm
• Vikings frustration, clock management, and effort
• North Dakota scouting, long bar pours, and a talkative landowner
• Clay roads, dense fog, and getting stuck
• Tow truck stuck, borrowed tractor, and DIY recovery
• Late-night pizza instead of steak, lessons learned

scans you, or they scan you,they take a picture.
Now they they do a face scan, soyou're in their system.
So when you leave and you go andthey have a picture, it's pretty
high tech, actually.

SPEAKER_04 (05:10):
So now you're in the system, you're in the database,
your face is probably, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (05:14):
Yeah, but I grew a beard now.

trimmer.
Oh, it was getting a littlegross.
But speaking of last weekend, wehad a we had a hell of a week
ago.
I know, but I'm not gonna talkabout that yet.
That's after the break.
We're not gonna get into thatone.
Well, yeah, we are after thefirst break.
Oh, okay.
But yeah, kind of loose.

(05:42):
Do you have the the the layouthere of what the yeah?
It was gonna be first when Ithought about it.
Such a good story, it's such agood stories that we gotta warm
up to them.

SPEAKER_04 (05:50):
We gotta warm up to them.
Yeah, that was a good story,yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (05:53):
But uh, no, I was gonna first talk about today
that we had um I was gonna sharewith you.
We had um in the town that Ihave the office in, um, it was
the Halloween day.
So like trick-or-treaters for uhI don't know if I like that
though.
Why why wouldn't you just do iton Halloween?

(06:13):
Well, I agree, and I don't knowthe answer.
And I'm I'm can I'mcontemplating getting on the old
uh board of the downtownbusiness association to see if I
can uh I don't think they likethere.

SPEAKER_04 (06:24):
I've I've heard of this other towns and like I
think there was something on thenews not too long ago, but
Jersey.
There's a town in like oh no,got what town was it again?
There's a town somewhere, oh no,Madison, Wisconsin.
Madison.
So they the town of Madison doesnot do Halloween on Halloween,
they do Halloween on Sundaynight closest to Halloween.

SPEAKER_03 (06:46):
Des Moines Des Moines does a Saturday before
Halloween.
Why they call it Liars Day, whywould you and so then do you get
to go out on Halloween also?
No, they don't do triggertreating, they call it Liar's
Day, and what you gotta do whenyou knock just in the city
limits.
So if you knock on the door,you're supposed to say a joke,
and then that instead of sayingtrigger treat, you say why did

(07:09):
why did the chicken cross theroad?
Why?
And then they give you what'sIowa.

SPEAKER_04 (07:14):
What's wrong with Halloween?

SPEAKER_03 (07:16):
I don't know what's wrong with it.
I'm just telling you, that'swhat I was told.
And maybe I'm wrong, maybe youcan lugle it, but that's what I
was told when I went down therehunting.
I am gonna have to lugle that.
That doesn't make any sense.
They call it Liar's Day, andit's always like the Saturday
before you they still handlecandy, but you don't say trigger
treat, you say a joke, and youand then you give out candy.
That's what I was told.

(07:37):
Maybe I'm incorrect, but that'swhat I used to be.
Maybe they lied to me.
I'm kind of curious, but it wasalways the Saturday before, but
and for the record, so yeah,today was the business.
I have so many questions.
Oh, yeah.
You you uh like bought outCostco for candy.

SPEAKER_04 (07:59):
Yeah, take a guess how many trigger treaters we had
tonight from your town or fromsurrounding towns?

SPEAKER_03 (08:06):
Well, it is surrounding towns.
Did you notice if you hadsurrounding towns again?
Yeah, because yeah, I I saidstuff.

SPEAKER_04 (08:11):
I'm like Well, you had last year you went out, you
ran out of stuff, and you had togo do all kinds of weird crap to
get candy in there.
So I'm gonna say you had sixhundred.
I wish.
Did you give out one piece ofcandy per grid?

SPEAKER_03 (08:30):
I didn't, but my my staff did.

SPEAKER_04 (08:33):
They gave out one piece per grid?

SPEAKER_03 (08:34):

SPEAKER_03 (08:54):
1,700 kids.

SPEAKER_04 (08:55):
They how far is the stretch?
Is it just the the main dragright there?
You've got to be towards theend.

SPEAKER_03 (09:00):
Both sides.
Yeah, I'm like the first or theend.
Well, I'm one of the first.
Depends.
There's two businesses ahead ofcandy towards my house.
I know away from downtown fromme.
Here's another thing.
I know the towns.
Where does 1700 cars park?
Oh, they're parked all the waydown halfway to my house.
Oh, no kidding.
And then up and down both roads,and they have yeah, it's bad.

(09:23):
Because think about it, there'sprobably at least two to three
parents or grandparents witheach kid, and some of them had
five people with them adults.
So it's probably I would say atleast six, five to six thousand
people.

SPEAKER_04 (09:36):
You know, I'm not a big fan of your little scooter
things, your scooter gang.
I don't know if we talked aboutthat a long time.
You have a scooter gang?

SPEAKER_03 (09:41):
Well, we don't, we're the only one part of it
now.

SPEAKER_04 (09:43):
Okay, well, you're you're but I was gonna bring a
scooter gang of two, yeah.
But the more I think about no,I'm just thinking about that.
Scooter scooter thing would beperfect if you're perfect for
that kind of like yeah thing,right?
Yeah, parades, yeah, all thatkind of crap.
You just throw if you have akid, small, especially small
kids, you can throw two peopleon a scooter, right?
Throw them on the front and justpark a mile away and just

(10:05):
scooter up in there.

SPEAKER_03 (10:06):
That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_04 (10:07):
That's not a bad idea.
I was kind of thinking, I'mthinking that's a great idea.

SPEAKER_03 (10:10):
I was gonna bring the scooter, but then I realized
I could park my truck in myfront yard if I needed to at the
office.
Yeah, but I had a spot, so Ididn't.
Did you you should put like areserve?
Can you put reserves for parkingthough?
Um, no, not on the street, no.
You can't you can't talk to thecity.
Uh I suppose I could talk to thecity, but I haven't.
I would talk to the city, atleast for you.

(10:31):
Maybe mostly or at least likelike it all worked out tonight.
We all had a good we all hadparking.
So, but it was a lot moreorganized.
We were better tonight.
But 1,700 kids.
That's just that's ridiculous.
So I don't know if I shouldhandle candy at regular nine
because I think I did such agood job.
That's that's not even a thing,dude.

(10:51):
You can't you've been yelling atme for 16 years.
I'm starting to change my tunenow.
Oh no.

SPEAKER_04 (10:58):
Wow.
You've been you've given me shitfor 16 years because I looked it
up.
My kids are only 16.

SPEAKER_03 (11:05):
It's 21 years that I've been handling candy and
being the best candy handerouter in my neighborhood.
Well, I have more than no,actually, I've had it out more
than 21 years.
It's just 21 years at thislocation, and it's about time
that somebody else takes up thetorch.
I have a seven I spent a lot ofmoney on candy today.

(11:28):
Yeah, you did.
And I would say 90% of the kidsthat come down my neighborhood.

SPEAKER_04 (11:33):
Wait, wait, how many pieces are in a bag?
Are they 50?

SPEAKER_03 (11:36):
We think there's 150 in the Costco bags.
I bought 21 bags.

SPEAKER_04 (11:42):
Did you you said something you like you said
you're dr you're walking throughthe the aisle with the cart full
of candy and some little girls,like yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (11:49):
They say she goes, mommy, why does that guy have so
much candy?
I couldn't.
What did mom say?
I couldn't, she goes, Don'tworry about it.
I could it was almost like I hadsalt, you know, salt for your
softener.
I could barely push the damncard, it was heavy.
Yeah, no, we don't have thatmany kids at my place anymore.
I think our our not your place.

(12:10):
We don't get that, we only getlike 150.

SPEAKER_04 (12:13):
We get like we get like 20, 25.
I think I had like 30 last year,and that's only because the word
got out that I I gave out uh Iwas giving out like full-size
candy bars and full-size stuff.

SPEAKER_03 (12:25):
Well, yeah, you can do that really.

SPEAKER_04 (12:26):
Yeah, we don't have that many.
I live on a day-dead road.
There's there's nobody wants towalk past the one house to get
to me.

SPEAKER_03 (12:31):
You still gotta hand out candy.
Oh, I handed out candy.
Unless you're out of town.
If you're out of town, then it'san excuse.
So if I have So you're wrong outof town this year, then I'm not
saying I am or not.
You are you're kind of a littlea little big P right now.

SPEAKER_04 (12:48):
You're not you're like, I'm not handing out candy
anymore because I have uh all myneighbors have left.

SPEAKER_03 (12:54):
No, and I started thinking about it.
Why is it that I always gotta bethe one that steps up for 21
years?
When is somebody else gonna stepup?

SPEAKER_04 (13:02):
I don't do well, you do the drinks and everything
like that.

SPEAKER_03 (13:05):
Yeah, we do.
And the the difference is nowwe're in a different generation,
like our kids are gone, so wedon't know the younger
generation parents.
Actually, most of them arepretty cool, but I don't know,
you your neighborhood's gettinga little older, and all the old
kids are gone, and all the olderparents don't come out anymore,
so it's kind of like see I weused to go to our neighbors, we
go trigger training with thekids, and then we go down to uh

(13:26):
Yeah, I see that was wrong.
We have one person stay home,and I only went out trigger
training one time with my kids.
The rest of the time I wasalways handing out goddamn
candy.

SPEAKER_04 (13:34):
Because I would go out, we no.
I see if you don't handle shedidn't allow that.

SPEAKER_03 (13:40):
Well, who handled candy at your house then?
We put the bucket out and saidtake some.
Then why would you need to gothere?
Why why would you need to gowith your kids trigger training?
Everybody put a bucket out.

SPEAKER_04 (13:49):
I think I've talked about this before, too.
I think I think I've talkedabout this before.
She puts out candy, but she'slike, don't put it all out.

SPEAKER_03 (13:59):
So then so then we end up with a half a bag of
candy so left over because wedidn't put it all out.
Okay, so let's let the kids takeit.
We don't need it.
So you know what?
First, I got two questions.
Number one, if everyone didthat, yes, what then what would
you do?

SPEAKER_04 (14:14):
What if everybody has kids?

SPEAKER_03 (14:16):
Yeah.
So why why would they need toput a bucket on?
I haven't I've been I've So ifyou have kids, you put but so
everyone that has kids just putsa bucket on.
Would that be any fun for thekids?

SPEAKER_04 (14:27):
There not everybody has kids.
There's not that many kids thathave people.

SPEAKER_03 (14:30):
What are the fun is them saying trigger treat to a
live human being and then yousay thank you?
Every single person today,everyone.
I'm not gonna do that now then.
So you're giving up on this.
No, if I'm home, I willdefinitely not give up on this.
So you're planning on going on atrip just so you don't have to
go to church.
I'm not going on a trip.

little, young little dudes, andthey looked a little like you

If you would have seen theseguys, it would have been like um
your son, your oldest boy, and acouple of his buddies just go up

(33:20):
there and then start singingthis, and you're like, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, what?
What is this coming from?
You know, and then this onesquiggly dude that was in the
um, I think he's like a waiteror wait, he where he works in
the cook at the place.
He came up in one of the songs.
I'm like, what's this guy doing?
And he had like an iPad in hishand because he I don't think he

(33:40):
knew the words.
He jumped out on the other mic,like, like, say we had a guest
here on the podcast.
Yeah, he went on the last micand he went up and he started
singing part of the song withthem, and he was really good,
and he looked nervous andeverything, but he did good.
So he was just the dude from theback, yeah.
I was like, what the shit'shappening here?
These guys, I thought, God, ifwe had a manager that could we

(34:02):
could get these guys famous,they're really good.

I think we should.
I can get music when I hear it.

tetter there, pretty cool guy.

SPEAKER_03 (34:27):
Apparently, this lady must be in more in charge
because she came up to us.
Uh, everyone she comes up, shegoes, Hey, what do you guys
honestly?

to have them outside.
We this is the very first bandwe were hiring, but they do the
street dance outside, and theywere good, but this is inside,

(34:49):

SPEAKER_04 (35:42):
It's it's easier to pound them down when you had it.
But actually, the if you get bythe if you burn the first one,
you kind of choke it down alittle bit.
And then the second, third, andfourth all get better, better,
better.

SPEAKER_03 (35:53):
One more thing about this band, put it this way it's
a small venue, and he had likeeight people dancing.

SPEAKER_04 (39:33):
That's kind of a that's kind of like Wisconsin.
I mean, it's I know I know thatthere's a city called lacrosse
in Wisconsin.
There is a city called lacrosse.
I don't know if they have thecollege though, do they?
Maybe they do.
But I don't know.
But that I know other peoplethat it have had kids that went
to play lacrosse and they wentto Wisconsin.
I can't think of, I mean, unlessyou go to like uh St.

(39:53):
Thomas or something.

SPEAKER_03 (39:55):
Oh, did you see that?
They got a new uh ice arena.
St.

Yeah, million million dollarfacility.
Some uh couple, old coupledonated millions to build it

SPEAKER_04 (40:52):
No, like when you're laying because when you're like
relaxing when people go tosleep, how does that whole count
sheep thinking work?
That doesn't make sense to me.

SPEAKER_03 (41:00):
By the way, before we finish this story about
sheep, oh my god, we took theside roads home from last
weekend.
We went through that small towncalled um, I think we're in
Wheaton, Minnesota.

Really?
Well, you heard that the GNR guysaid five thousand fifty
thousand the week before, rightwhere we were hunting.

SPEAKER_03 (44:05):
I like how you say cookies.
Cookies.

the most expensive school inMinnesota.

SPEAKER_03 (45:33):
Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02 (45:34):
Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03 (45:34):
I think my neighbors got uh two kids that went there.
Well, it's not cheap.
Huh.
It's not cheap.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, anyway, so Honda Seasonstarted.
It has started.
Yep.
And I talked about the Randallband.
We crossed that out.
But we'll uh we should talkabout the story about that so we

(45:55):
can repeat North Dakota.

SPEAKER_04 (45:57):
Well, we need to pause maybe for a second because
we need it, we need let's let'sfill up another another half a
drink worth of show.

SPEAKER_03 (46:04):
Well, I can say we can do a quick sports three
minutes.
Can we make it three minutes andor four minutes?
I don't care.
Normally it's two minutes.
I got so much to say aboutsports.
Can we make it like threeminutes maybe?

SPEAKER_04 (46:16):
Yeah, we can do three minutes, but it's there's
there's really not a lot of goodstuff to talk about.
I've got to be honest with you.

SPEAKER_03 (46:26):
I'm just telling you that we live in Loserville.
And the sooner's not good.
And as soon as that everybodyaccepts that, the sooner that
you're not gonna be all upsetwhen they don't make it.

SPEAKER_04 (46:39):
Well, you know, we do got uh we got we got soccer.
Oh wait, that they didn't doanything either.

SPEAKER_03 (46:46):
No, the USA team's doing well, and then the girls
team was one-one.
I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 (46:50):
Oh, we got we got uh women's basketball.
Oh, wait, they lost two.

SPEAKER_03 (46:54):
Put it this way.
You remember uh Jaker's?
He said, I think I've come togrips that it'll never happen in
my lifetime.
Here?
The the Vikings for football Ithink I've come to grips that
it'll never I told you.

SPEAKER_04 (47:08):
I think what I think I said this a couple years ago.
I went, I went, I'm Motor CityKitty, baby.

SPEAKER_03 (47:12):
They're not gonna even the punter sucks.
Here's the here's here's kind ofthe the the the wait, our punter
sucks?
Yeah, he had a couple good puns.
He goes, What is he goes, he go,when are we start?
I go, hey, women's US soccer ison at seven on true TV.

(47:33):
And I says, Is rapeanal orwhatever that like?
I think she's done.
I don't understand.
That chick is like that'sgetting conservation.
I won't.

SPEAKER_04 (47:40):
That chick is like 50.
She can't play that.

SPEAKER_03 (47:42):
I can't say that sentence.
Okay, she's too old.
I said, Oh, there's oh, here'swhat I said.
Here's what I said bureau.
I go, I go, hey, why are therereferees?
Just go to AI after every play.
We will now get carved up onthis stripe.
Remember because it was uh we uhintercepted and they said they
bobbled it.
He did.

(48:03):
I don't think he did.
I don't think he did because hehad that one hand, the one hand
came off of it, but the otherhand was a little bit more than
a little bit.
Referees don't have slow motionin your eyes.
Call it as you seize it and justlet it go.
Uh he the one hand, wait.
So one hand one hand came awayfrom the ball, but the other
hand was completely stillgrabbing it.
Uh you're missing the wholepoint.
I think it's bullshit.
Referee calls it why do we haveto have slow motion instant

(48:24):
replay?
That was a catch.
Call it how you seize it.
If it's right as right, if it'swrong as wrong, and move on.
Why do we gotta slow it downlike last week when they caught
that in the end zone?
Yep.
I said, what are we doing?
What are we doing?
So then why what's the point ofthe referee then?
The referee does nothing.
Because we're not going touncontroversial.

SPEAKER_04 (48:44):
Well, kind of.

SPEAKER_03 (48:44):
Why don't we just have the AI do everything?

SPEAKER_04 (48:47):
They well, they probably could actually.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (48:49):
We will not, and then he goes, we would all get
covered up on this drive.
Yep.

SPEAKER_04 (48:53):
When is okay you mean oh so they we can they did
too because they get next word?
They walked down like like 14plays in like eight minutes.

SPEAKER_03 (49:01):
This ain't a part of my two-minute rant.
But here's what here here's whatI'm just gonna rant.
I'm gonna I'm gonna go down theline because here's what it I
figured out why I'm so mad.
Did you text him the whole timethis game?
Yeah, so I go, I go, when isBrosner coming in?
He goes, he goes, when is Ziggygonna sell?
I'm going back to women'ssoccer.
He goes, I hear the squash isheating up.
Good.
At least there's one goodMinnesota team.

(49:22):
I hate the Vikings.
I wrote.
I'm only watching out of spite.
Swiss cheese D.
If we had Sam Durham, we wouldbe undefeated.
Quase team, bunch of stiffs.
I think the whiffs cuddle theirplayers too much.
McCarthy should be playing.
Idiots.
They suck.
Good low turn.
Complete idiots.
Just forfeit.
Benny Hill song I wrote.

(49:43):
They suck so bad.
He can't trap anyone.
I said, I went to the antiqueroadshow.
Here I come.
Oh, wait, my mistake.
It's Miss Scarlet onMasterpiece.
On PPS.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm going to watch Old SueGopher Games.
Three and out coming.
We are a D3 college team.

(50:03):
Idiots.
I turned the channel.
I don't care.
You ever watch old Sioux hockeygames?
Yeah.
He goes, they're the weakest assteam in the league.
Get pushed from waver.
No grit, overpaid,underdelivered.
How come Jalen Hurts turns thatto a 40-yard game?
Anyways, I'm not going to keepgoing on, but Jesus crazy.
I finally said, here's exactly.

(50:24):
I summed it up in one sentence.
As a Viking fan, here's here'smy thing.
For me personally.
Do you this sum up your wholethe whole game or the season?
I this sums up the Vikings in mymind.
All right.
And I don't care about wins orlosses.
Here's what it here's what itcomes up.

SPEAKER_04 (50:40):
Everybody cares about wins and losses.

SPEAKER_03 (50:41):
I wrote it for 20 years or more, maybe since 1998,
because 1998 was awesome.
Right.
And we can take off 2009 whenFarbo's with us.
But the Vikings always facethird and eight plus yards and
throw it one yard.
Right?
Every single time.
Yeah.
For the most part.
One day I'd love to know why.

(51:04):
It's a game plan, baby.
Green Bay always.
Green Bay always at least.
No, no, no.
It's not even just Green Bay.
They always throw past thethumbmarker.

SPEAKER_04 (51:14):
If you have a good quarterback, you always throw
past that.
It's the quarterback.
But it's the quarterback.
The quarterback picks andchooses who does he throw it to.

SPEAKER_03 (51:21):
I maybe and checks down.
And then that, and between thatand our clock management is why
I'm no longer watching.
Because two weekends ago, wewere coming back and actually
had a chance.
It was six minutes left.
We're down by two, uh, uh uh twoweekends ago, like the one on
the way back from from NorthDakota?

(51:42):
Yes.
Yeah.
You get watching the car?
I kind of often on.
I had it on.
There were six, like 48 left inthe game.
Yeah.
And we were only down by like,let's say, 10 points.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
They walk up to the line.
No, there's no urgency.

SPEAKER_04 (51:56):
No.

SPEAKER_03 (51:58):
But it's been like that for 20 years.
They always do.
Remember when Favre was on thePackers?
Yeah.
They would be down, they wouldrun up there, throw it out, get
out of bounce.
Yeah.
Hunt, throw it, get out ofbounds.
It wouldn't even spray the ball.
No.
He would you would you would doa quick pass out of bounce?
Why the hell don't we do that?
They don't do that.
I don't care if you win or lose.

(52:19):
Effort.
At least if you put effort in.
At least that gets ahead.
It looks like you're trying towin.
Right.
Right.
They won.
At least at least you can keepyour fans in the ball.
I don't understand.
Yeah.
I can't take it.
And it's those two things.
It's the it's the third down andlong.
I honestly think you're going tobe able to do that.
Third down and long.
And oh, okay.
Third down to 16 handoff.
Why?
So we can punt it?

(52:41):
So we have three more yards topunt it.
That means you don't like yourplayers.

SPEAKER_04 (52:45):
They don't try.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (52:46):
If it's third and 16, throw the ball 17 yards.
If it's incomplete, punt it.
Try.

SPEAKER_04 (52:52):
Right.
Try.

SPEAKER_03 (52:53):
Try.

SPEAKER_04 (52:53):
That's the thing.

SPEAKER_03 (52:55):
If there's 30 seconds left in the first half
and you're worried about takinga knee, just go down and play
the goddamn game like you'regonna play, like you want to
win.
Why don't you care?
Oh, we don't want to throw aninterception and have them run.
Don't throw an interception!Don't throw an interception! If
it's not there, throw it out ofbounds.
Try.
They don't.

(53:15):
What is wrong with these people?
They're not like they'reprofessionals.
They're professionals.
They get paid to do this.
If they don't try them, don'tpay them.
Fire them.
Right?
They get paid.
So it's a it's a it's a job tothem.
They don't give they don't givea shit.

SPEAKER_01 (53:30):
Fire them if you don't like them.

SPEAKER_03 (53:31):
Who's had it why what would have been wrong about
putting Brosner in?
Why would why would what whatwould have been oh because our
our Wance was hurt and he wasdoing terrible?
What would have m bad or whatwould have really made a
difference if we get Brosners ashot?
Maybe Broser is really good.
Maybe he's a good core, maybehe's not.
But would it really had anoutcome?
The only outcome that would havebeen different is that we won.

SPEAKER_04 (53:53):
We've all we've all had employees that are like pre
men's like that, right?
So they just don't put the finaleffort in.

SPEAKER_03 (54:03):
What am I missing?
What am I missing?
If I'm the owner of the team,I'd be like, what the shit are
we doing?
Put Brozner in because he'shurt, he's doing terrible.
At the halftime, I would havesaid, he's hurt, he's not doing
good, it's not his day.
Whatever the reason is, whocares?

SPEAKER_04 (54:16):
I want Brosner in there anyways.
I think McCurdy's a bust.

SPEAKER_03 (54:18):
Oh, I know.
I think Brosner's doing good.

SPEAKER_04 (54:20):
I think I would love to see Brosner in there.

SPEAKER_03 (54:22):
And look at look at a guy last year that we didn't
want.
He went 14.
Okay, he won 14 games and wedidn't like him because he was a
mental case on the big games.
Okay, well, you're thequarterback whisperer.
So why don't we just take whatwe have and make it better?
Well, he was.
Look at him this year.
No, he's he's like top fivequarterback in the league.
I don't care.
He is still gonna choke.

(54:44):
Is he is he worse than what wehave now?
No, but he's still gonna choke.
But who's not gonna choke?

SPEAKER_04 (54:50):
But we're not so you're you're you're bitching
about them choking in theplayoffs.
If he was with us, he'd still westill wouldn't do anything.

SPEAKER_03 (54:56):
We have we have too many injuries, we have too many,
we have too many problems.
But you know what?
I will say, I will say this.
I'm okay with them losing it,just get in the playoffs and
heat up and then go.
I'd rather have that than go 14and 3 and blow in the first
round.
Like they normally do.
It'd be nice if we actually ifthis McCarthy guy they normally
hit the playoffs and lose thefirst round.

(55:17):
Yeah, it'd be nice if we kind ofhave a shittier like regular
season, but then we heat up andthen we get in and then do good.
We would forget about this wholecrap early in the game.
98?

SPEAKER_04 (55:31):
Yeah, that was a huge left out.

SPEAKER_03 (55:33):
2009?
That he was locked out.
Um, miracle, and they blew it inPhiladelphia.
Yeah.
Did I see?
Yeah, that was a but it was2009, they should have won the
Super Bowl in 1998.
Yes, they screwed up, they theydid it themselves.

SPEAKER_04 (55:47):
Which is my entire life.
They've they've they've becomeNFC champ, NFC central, whatever
champs a couple times.

SPEAKER_03 (55:55):
I would just like to see him go to NFC championship
in the playoffs.
I've never even been to a SuperBowl my entire life, and I'm not
and I'm not young, I'm not ayoung man anymore.
I'm telling you, this McCarthy'sa bust.
If he's a bust, because almostevery other quarterback that's
watched him play.
The couple games I watched himplay.
One good quarter.

(56:15):
One out of eight.
Yes.
And out of every otherquarterback that drafted that
year, they're all doing goodright now.
They're all doing good.
Everyone that drafted this year.
And we get injured.
But the problem is, the problemis injured in Michigan.
The problem is your cousin sayshe's good though.
He said, Get don't give up onhim yet.
I'm giving up on him.

SPEAKER_04 (56:35):
I think he's I think.

SPEAKER_03 (56:36):
Well, you'll give up on everything.
No, I think he's a bust.
I'd rather spend I'd rather getRosner in there.
I like Rosener.
I mean, look at some of the bestquarterbacks in history.
I mean, Joe Montana.
These guys were like first rounddraft picks.
No, I know.
And why didn't they uh Brady?
Why didn't they put him in thatsecond half?
Explain to me.
Why didn't Did you see him whenhe got hit?
Couldn't even move his arm.

(56:57):
Yeah, just put him, yeah.
Paul.
Why would they say why wouldn'tthey keep him in?
Yeah, I don't know.
Well, what?
What you're gonna lose by last?
I never understood losing bylast.
Is that making you feel better?
And why did they kick a fieldgoal?
Oh my god.
Get the biggest.
I turned a channel.
We were down by like I turnedthe channel off.
We got six points.
I'm like, I said, honestly, I'dfire the coach right now because

(57:19):
there's zero chance why we'dkick the field goal right there
because it does zero good.
No, and then I went off to Iwent off to um what was that
show on channel two?
PBS.

SPEAKER_04 (57:28):
It was called um um antique air, antique uh
roadshow.

SPEAKER_03 (57:34):
Yeah, but it was called something else.
And I came back and uh all of asudden it was 10.
We got 10 points.
I'm like, how'd we get atouchdown?
Or how do we get four points?
I said right.
Well, apparently somethinghappened on that field goal that
we had too many someone had toomany men, so they missed it.
They went over and they got atouchdown.
I'm like, okay, great, we'reonly down by two scores.
Put Broz in around.

(57:55):
No, right.

SPEAKER_04 (57:56):
No, they can't do that.

SPEAKER_03 (57:57):
I don't get what can you explain?

SPEAKER_04 (57:59):
I want to see Brozner do something.

SPEAKER_03 (58:00):
I think it's can you explain to me what goes to their
mind?
Then why don't I have him on theteam?
I well, he's a third he's well.

SPEAKER_04 (58:10):
He's second story right now, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (58:11):
Yeah, Marcelo's emergency, right?
So why don't they just putBrozner in?
I don't know.
I agree with you.
I don't know.
I mean, what what he's youngguys is this our three minutes?
Are we done with this?
Three minutes.
I'm fucking part of my language,but I I'm done with the Vikings.
I can't I don't even want towatch them.
I don't I don't even get madanymore because I don't even
care.

(58:31):

So, anyways, so we decided to goout and see Daryl.
Oh, yeah, Daryl was a scout.
Yeah, he did, he did find acouple, he found a little bit of
oh he did scout a lot.

So we did good.
We the first night we got upthere, I say it was a Wednesday
night, and uh what the hell isthat mean?
There's a fire going withcolors.
Oh, that's right.
We forgot about that.
You went up to the North Shoreto look at leaks.
Oh, did we?

SPEAKER_04 (01:03:42):
Yeah, yeah.
I did go up there.
That's awesome.
It was a long day.

SPEAKER_03 (01:03:46):

the old ducks and uh old Nodak.
And so we went there, we did wewent the first morning.
We shot a few couple, not verygood.

SPEAKER_04 (01:03:59):
We did that, we did a new thing this year though,
because yeah, you guys invitedyou guys invited all the wives.

SPEAKER_03 (01:04:05):
Okay, so let's clear that up.
And we stayed in a VRBO an hourand a half from where we're
hunting.
That was Voltap.
It wasn't an hour and a half, itwas 45 miles.
It was an hour and a half, itwas 45 miles.
So the the last the last place Ihunted was an hour and a half.
But the deal was I mentionedthat because the thing was I was
it's my fault.

(01:04:26):
I'll take full responsibility,and I probably won't do it ever
again.
I don't mind hanging out withthe ladies.
No, it wasn't it wasn't aboutthe ladies we were hunting area,
it was and it it didn't work outthe way I wanted to.
The idea was that um we want tosee our two adult children,
their kids, yeah, and uh f f uhNagzill wanted to see him as

(01:04:48):
well.
And I was like, well, just comeup and we'll see them.
You stay here and we'll gohunting, you go hang out with
them, and whatever.
You saw Sally at the bar thatone night, and then she stopped
by the house for an hour.
Not much.
I saw it.
No, I saw it three times.
Oh, did you?
So anyway, it didn't really workout the way I was thinking.
And hey, lesson learned.
We'll stay out by the hunting.

(01:05:10):
And I tried to get everybodyhappy to make it all work, but
eh, whatever.

SPEAKER_04 (01:05:14):
No, I learned it.
I didn't mind most of it.
You have better, you have somedecent restaurants there for
food.
Well, it sucks.

SPEAKER_03 (01:05:21):

SPEAKER_03 (01:12:21):
I just went out there looking for you.
Okay, but you sons of bitcheswere thinking debating not come
pick me up.
It was about five seconds.
What a dick.
It was five seconds.
I literally saved your life thatday.
You were bored at the hotel.
Don't pass up.
I was I was nervous for you,dumbass.
We we said, well, first of all,you're like you were in the
heated truck.
Second of all, we were fiveseconds and we're like, and we

looked at you.
We gotta go back.

SPEAKER_03 (01:12:49):
We we we didn't we were we were more we weren't mad
at you or disappointed.
Yeah, we were that got stuck?
Yeah, because why did you getstuck?
I was checking out the problem.
And now we find out, and nowlater, listeners, we find out
later that he shouldn't have gotstuck because he went too far
where he shouldn't have gone,and his own kids were saying,
Don't go there.

(01:13:11):
I wasn't driving.
Well, you in church they saidthat it was your fault that they
went where they went.
Why are you smiling?
Why are you smiling?
Yeah, yeah, no.
You you your it's your fault.
That doesn't make any sense.
So, and that's why I think thatfive seconds was because I was
trying to picture why would heget stuck if we know it's wet
out there, why would he risk it?

(01:13:32):
Anyways, we turn around.

So we're getting closer andcloser and closer.
As we're getting closer toEddie's truck, I'm calling his
son, Chipper.
Chipper answers the phone.
I go, where's your dad?
And all I hear is giggling everysingle time.
I go, Chipper, we have a stakereservation at 9-3.

(01:14:39):
Where's your dad?
And then I hear him giggling,going, he stole a tractor and
he's lost.
And giggling.
And I'm like, what do you meanhe stole a tractor and he's
lost?
I didn't steal a tractor.
Well, you did.
I borrowed a tractor.
You stole a tractor, which isawesome.
I never I never took the tractorout of people off the property.

(01:14:59):
The tractor stayed on theproperty.
You stole a tractor, which Iwould have too.
But the tractor had no lights,so so Eddie's went hot wire.
You can't see it.
He found a tractor in the woodsand he got it started and they
had no light.
So he took it.
You know how you guys have yourthink about your cell phone with
the little flashlight.

(01:15:19):

tractor when it's fucking dark?

SPEAKER_04 (01:15:24):
You can't you can't see 5v in front of you.

SPEAKER_03 (01:15:26):

one thing.

where you were on GPS on yourphone?

SPEAKER_04 (01:15:37):
I do, but I can't watch my phone and use the light
at the same time.

SPEAKER_03 (01:15:42):
It was hard to and every time I call Chipper, every
time I call him 75 times andhe's giggling more, laughing
harder and harder.
I'm like, this ain't I'mstarting to like this ain't
funny.

SPEAKER_04 (01:15:53):
So I I yeah, so we we made it.

SPEAKER_03 (01:15:54):
He's like, my dad's lost, he's like two miles away.

Because he can't see.
I go, have you thought aboutgoing out there and try to help
him?
Well, we're stuck.

SPEAKER_04 (01:16:05):
We we we we're coming in there, and the kids
are like, remember that tractorwe saw when we came in?
Like, oh yeah.
So I'm like, well, jumped out,started walking over some
tractor, walk like a mile to atractor.

SPEAKER_03 (01:16:18):
Well, that's what I took, but then I'm like, then I
then I had second thoughts, andQ was like, wait a sec.
Because I was like, Chipper, whydon't you go walk and find?
And I'm like, no, just stay inthe truck.
Yeah, because then we have amissing kid.
You could not see 10 feet away.
Well, that's this is only halfthe story, you listeners.
So so that's going on, but we'reme and Q and Darrell are heading

(01:16:42):
back that way to try to help me.
Try to help me, yeah.
And I'm driving around, I'mdriving around like a main I'm
starving.

SPEAKER_04 (01:16:49):
I'm one field over driving in circles because I
can't figure out how to get overto the other side.
Yeah, because there's a treeline.
And I thought the tree line thatI was driving on was the same,
was the opposite tree line ofwhere I was at.

SPEAKER_03 (01:17:02):
So I was one field over driving around in circles,
trying to figure out where thehell I was at.
So weird.
And I'm and I'm out of hammerbecause of the of the lawn pores
at the bar.

SPEAKER_04 (01:17:14):
But I don't those things are those things are
strong.

SPEAKER_03 (01:17:16):
I don't know if Q was really doing so well on our
dry back.
On her drive back.
And I'm trying to navigate, andI'm talking to your son.
There's no way he's giggling thewhole time.

SPEAKER_04 (01:17:29):
There's no way you guys are doing good because
those are those were some stiffdrinks.

SPEAKER_03 (01:17:33):
Well, I was doing fine because I wasn't driving.
I was navigating.
Yeah, okay.
But I was getting a littlefrustrated because I was like,
all I pictured was us going tothis nice restaurant, eating a
nice steak, getting done, havinga cigar.
That sounded delicious.
And I was like, I said, I mighteven have an E and J.
I might have a uh uh uh what'sthose whiskey things with the
big cubes?

SPEAKER_04 (01:17:53):
Old fashioned?

SPEAKER_03 (01:17:55):

I know.
I was like, this is gonna begreat.
I'm gonna get mashed potatoes,we're gonna be nice, relaxed, no
rush.
I'm gonna come right now, andI'm like, and and then Chipper's
just giggling every time I callhim.
Oh, I don't know where he's at,he's lost, we can't find him.
And I'm like, okay, this ain'tfunny.

(01:18:17):
First of all, then I startedgetting worried about what
happened to you.

SPEAKER_04 (01:18:19):
And I'm like, well, they had this they had my
spotlight, my duck spotlight,which is bright.
Maybe you can see across thelake.

SPEAKER_03 (01:18:24):
Well, that's what I said.
I go, Do you have a light?
And I said, Turn it on so youcan see it.
You couldn't see it.
Oh, and there's like and he'slaughing about it.
Yeah, you can't see it.
They had it on when I got close.
Well, then I'm like, but I gotwhen I got they had it on the
whole time, and when I gotclose, I could see it.
But I'm like, there's no way Iwould have seen this from over
there.
Well, did you have your phone onyou?

SPEAKER_04 (01:18:41):
I finally just I finally just went to GPS.
I I I turned around.

SPEAKER_03 (01:18:44):
I was starting to get a little confirmed.
I'm like, well, I quit using thewhat if we got stuck with the
tractor they stole.
I know that's what I was worriedabout.
I I finally I finally quit usingthe the the light, it just went
full GPS.
I mean, I was uh driving blind,right?
Well, and so listeners, here'shere's the deal.
So that's this part of thestory.
So the good old good old JohnDeere, actually.

(01:19:05):
So sorry, farmer, but the JohnDeere saved the day, actually.
Good thing it had fuel in it.
And so Q and I Q and I aredriving, and we're going off,
we're going off GPS.
Yeah.
And so these roads are like um,it's not like you're going on
the freeway to get there.
This is all farm country, right?
So you're taking back and andnot quite minimum maintenance

(01:19:28):
roads, but pretty close tominimum maintenance roads.
That wasn't even that bad of aroad.
No, I know.
On a normal day, that's probablyso wet and greasy.
So we're driving down this road,we're four miles away from them.
And next thing you know, this uhwe get in a section where it's
like all like clay and wet andmuddy, and we go right into the

(01:19:50):
ditch.
And we're going literally likewe're going like probably
between three and six miles anhour, and the steering wheel is
cranked as far right as you cango, and we just go left into the
damn ditch, and now we're stuck.
Now we're stuck.
So I'm like, well, that's great.
And I'm looking, and all I'mdoing is looking at the clock,

(01:20:11):

So he comes down there.
He comes down to get us out.
He doesn't make it to us.

Did he come in from the way frombehind you?
Yes.
Same way you went in.
Yeah.
Okay.
He got stuck.
And we're like, oh my god.
And and so then keep in mindthis is all like clay.
Yeah.
And we have boots on and stuff.
So Q's driver's side door cannotopen because we're up against
like these uh like weeds, orlike we think of like uh uh it

(01:23:51):

No, no, yeah, no, but I had hegoes, You get in a driver's seat
when they we hook it up.
Well, I gotta slide over, he'sgot bucket seats, yeah, nice
truck, and my feet go over it.
All the mud goes all across thedashboard, the steering wheel,
the radio, everything because Ican't because you can't open the
door.
I'm like, oh my god, this is ashit show.

(01:24:13):
And so he's like, put it inneutral.
Well, they hooked up the oldcable, started winching us off,
and it wouldn't not come out.
It just kept going further,further.
I mean, it's pulling usbackwards, but it wouldn't get
us.
It's keeping you in the in theditch.
So we made a throne, so thenhe's like, we've that's when I
got there.
That's when I got there finally.
Yeah, long story short, hefinally gets us out, and I get

(01:24:36):
backed up.
And you know the wheels are justcaked with this mud, right?
This thick, like clay.
There's no traction.
So we get back.
Now we gotta get uh tow truckheld.
That's when I got there.
So I I hadn't got my snowball.
You finally now you shove it up.
And I'm looking at the clock andnow it's like nine 9 45.

(01:24:57):
I'm like, well, we ain't eatingsteak anymore.

SPEAKER_04 (01:24:59):
I finally found my my my truck and my kids.
I finally find them.
I had it, I had a jerk strap inthere, like those straps
straight, you know, strapswhatever do it.
And I had two of them.
So I hooked up both of them toit, so I'm not so those little
tractors not too close to thetruck.
And then I hooked them both upand like, alright, I'm gonna

(01:25:23):
start pulling.
Snap.
One of them snaps.
Oh broke, one of them dead.
I'm like, well, I guess I'mgonna get closer.
And so I backed up more and Ipulled that one strap out, and
then we hooked up a ratchetstrap.
I had a heavy ratchet strap too.
So I hooked a ratchet, a heavyratchet strap and my other troll
strap at the close range.

(01:25:43):
And I ended up popping it outand jerking it, and then got it
pulled out, and I just pulledthem all, I kept going, going,
going, going, going until theyfinally like got it.
But I was uh I was the next daywhen we were back out there, we
looked at that, I was diggingholes.

SPEAKER_03 (01:26:02):
Yeah, you almost got the tractor stuck on.

SPEAKER_04 (01:26:03):
I would have got that damn tractor stuck on all.

SPEAKER_03 (01:26:05):
Yeah, that would have been crazy.

SPEAKER_04 (01:26:05):
I would have been horrible.
There's nothing I could havedone.

SPEAKER_03 (01:26:08):
No, we would have gone picked you up and waited
until the morning.

SPEAKER_04 (01:26:11):
So I finally get myself out.
I pull the truck out, and hedrive my kid drives it all the
way back off to the road.
I take the tractor back, park itexactly where I fucking found
it.

SPEAKER_02 (01:26:21):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 (01:26:22):
Exactly where I found it.
Once you probably have to take agas.

SPEAKER_03 (01:26:30):
I thought this thing had gas.
It's all full of mud.
The tires are the tires, thetires are just kegged with it.
Kind of like when we stole thatbus that time.
The tires are just caked withmud.
We should have taken that busand jumped.
I was so close when we stolethat bus that we should have
gone to the bar.
And then we should have taken itall in your field and like got

(01:26:50):
it stuck.
No, we should have put gloves onso we had no DNA.
Why would they leave the keys init?
Why would you leave the keys init?
I think we should have donemore.
I wish we would have.

SPEAKER_04 (01:27:02):
I thought we would we just hopped in and drove like
three blocks, four blocks, andparked it again.

SPEAKER_03 (01:27:07):
I wish it had the lights.
That was another Brady night.
We should have done it.
You know why it didn't go worsebecause they didn't have the
flashing lights and they have astop sign.
If we would have flashinglights, stop sign, we would have
gone downtown your town and wentto ding ding ding ding and said
people had to stop and let likea kid crossed.

(01:27:29):
That was what so this was thatthat was when I first built my
house.
That was awesome.

SPEAKER_04 (01:27:33):
And this this other house building guys, the Smit
guys, the the foundation guys,they used a bus to haul other
shit around.

SPEAKER_03 (01:27:40):
They parked in front of my house.
So I was like, what the fuck isthis thing doing in my hand?
Yeah, we got we got that shitout of it.
So now we hopped in it and startcruising around the
neighborhood.
I wish we would have done a redobecause now I wish we would have
gone further.
We should have took it andjumped that on.
Oh, it's a fun shit.
We didn't, but anyways, sogetting back to the story.

(01:28:02):
So Eddie gets down, he gets outhe gets back to us, and it's a
shit show down there.
Now we got like your truck.

SPEAKER_04 (01:28:12):
I hooked up my truck to your truck so that the Q's
truck, and then we hooked thatway you keep the back end from
sliding back in.

SPEAKER_03 (01:28:20):
We had a lot of shit going on.
We finally, finally goteverything out, and then we're
all good.
And then Daryl, so we're facingstill facing the wrong way.
We have to turn around.
So Daryl drives down.
I'm watching him.
I'm watching him, and he's goinglike one mile an hour, and he
totally slides the other way.
I'm like, he's gonna get stuckagain.
But then he got out and turnedaround and got up, and we got

(01:28:41):
out of there.
Well, that's fine over there.
I walked that whole area beforethe turnaround back.
You know, we didn't get back toafter almost, I think it was 12
40.

SPEAKER_04 (01:28:50):
I I gotta be honest with you.
Your your pizza's right there,D.

SPEAKER_03 (01:28:53):
Oh, it's great the first night.
It's not that great.
It was so good the first night.
It's not that good.
Second night was terrible.
It's too much.
It's first night was good.
I think you drank it every timeyou every time you had that
something you were eating itevery day.
You were you were you were like3.0.
The second night, what it didwas it was like it went in my
stomach and it like expanded.
It did that to me the first day.

(01:29:15):
It did to me.
I liked it the first day.
Oh goodness.
I don't like it as much as Ithought it was the greatest
pizza ever.
And now I'm starting toremember, like, oh, you're
right.
We were always playing two ofthem when we ordered it, but it
is good flavor.
Yeah, it's not bad, it's notbad.
But you can't have it two nightsin a row.
No, you can have once every sixmonths.
But I could not do thatsomebody.
End of the story is we finallygot back to Airbnb at about 12

(01:29:39):
45 when we were supposed to beback.
We would have been back at like6 30.
It was an extra six hours, andwe missed our steak dinner.

SPEAKER_04 (01:29:47):
And we borrowed a tractor, and all the kids can we
get a tow truck.

SPEAKER_03 (01:29:50):

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
