Speaker 2 (01:00):
Who love the Power Tip Mony Show.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
It's Tuesday, September seventeenth of twenty twenty four.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Im Corey Cove.

Speaker 4 (01:05):
There's Meat Sauce, Paul Lambert and there's Zachary Halverson. Good morning,
Fella's power trip. Get good you, I'm great man, real
good great.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Top of the morning.

Speaker 5 (01:15):
Good.

Speaker 4 (01:16):
Yeah, there's Max. Max is walking in ice so we
just biked in. Will you just say top of the
morning to you?

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Top of the morning. Yeah, people say that, yeah, what
does that mean? A minute?

Speaker 5 (01:27):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:27):
No, I uh Ireland thing up for the morning to you. Yeah,
that's pretty good. That was a great Irish action exactly,
thank you.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
Hopefully we get a Brazilian accent from John Bonus when
he walks in the door.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
I can't wait to hear the brazil breakdown.

Speaker 5 (01:42):
Oh yeah, same. He watched the Eagles win. Yeah, and
then they lost last night, which is great.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
They sure did the Kirk freaking Cousins and Drake London
he didn't if he didn't stay up. They got it
done late twenty two to twenty one. The Eagles lose
to Kirk primetime.

Speaker 5 (01:59):
Kirk when they when the Falcons turned the ball over
after getting stuff done that fourth and whatever it was,
I turned it off same and then I'm like, I
rolled over and I just wanted to see, if you know,
roll over, buddy, the Eagles that rolled down and scored.
They didn't like, let's turn this back on Zacho and

(02:20):
I just watched the last six plays or whatever it
was a that was a clinic by Kirk Cousins. B
He wasn't pressured in that entire draft. Zacho nailed drive.
Excuse me, Zacho nailed it. That prevent defense has never
prevented anything.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
That's a hot take. You're the first guy to think that.
I know it's uh it's pretty wild.

Speaker 5 (02:44):
You know, not really be ever a coach of a
football game, but you know understand that if you hold
a team to fifteen points through fifty eight minutes of play,
maybe don't change everything you know about defense because oh boy,
you're trying to. I mean, it's ridicut it was. It
was way too easy for Kirk. God bless him. He's

(03:04):
a great quarterback. But come on, just drenched in sarcasm.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
What are you doing? That was not right? So the
prevent defense prevents you from winning? Correct?

Speaker 4 (03:16):
How many times my dad has called me and said
exactly that? Funny number times? He would love to probably
get the scuttle butt on the Wild? What do you
know about the Wild? They start on Saturday? My goodness,
can my dad call you?

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah? Sure, give him my number, we'll talk. What are
you hearing about the Wild? He asked, wild, What are
you hearing about so and so? Dad? I don't hear anything.
I don't I don't, I don't report. I have a
journalism degree that went absolutely nowhere reports. No, nobody does. Yeah,
the only thing we're hearing is the Twins collapse. I'll

(03:51):
tell you what.

Speaker 5 (03:51):
When the Wild are up late in the game, they
don't all like sit back in their own defensive zone
and just hope that they don't get scored on.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
Exactly what that Wasugh, so it prevented them from winning?

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yeah, I can see your dad saying that too.

Speaker 5 (04:09):
Oh my god, Yes, your dad loves sports cliches, which
is he's great. I've met him multiple times. He's great,
But I could see him calling him me like, I
just don't get a car.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Prevent you from.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
Winning about a week ago, not two months ago. About
a week ago, he goes, what are you hearing about
J J McCarthy? Am I in terms of what is recovery?

Speaker 2 (04:29):
No, just in general do that.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
I'm not calling members of the Vikings pr stuff and
going I know he's hurt, but how is he do we.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Got something near or not? How was he doing? I
gotta know, what are you guys thinking? I go, Dad,
who would I even talk to? Yeah? And why would
I ask him that? I I just go home and
watch poker, you know that? And he goes, I know,
I know.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
I just thought maybe you'd heard something from like PA
or something. I don't talk sports with PA. No, I
just have to get out of the room with without
getting tickled right, Like I have to get through that
door when he's walking in, just without getting.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
My sides touched. I don't have time to ask him
what is the deal with McCarthy? Do we got something?
Do you ever just sit in the back of the
room and hope he doesn't come tickle? You know you actually? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (05:19):
Imagine if you called like Sam, Sam Newton, you were like, Hey, Sam,
what's going on? He's a vikings PR guy and you
were like, hey, what's going on with McCarthy? And he
would ask the same thing I asked my dad, Like
you mean his recovery?

Speaker 2 (05:34):
No? No, no, no, Just like in general, is the
vibe down there at TCO? Like do you guys got
something with him? Or like what are you hearing? Right?
Corey hearing with what? Never called me once in my life?
Why are you? Sam? Would be are you in danger?
Code work? Cry for help? Say that, say Michigan if
you need me to call the cops. It's not information

(05:58):
for me, it's for my dad. Okay, think of Sauce,
how long have you and I known each other?

Speaker 5 (06:03):
Now?

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Like I don't a seventeen years or something like that, right,
I mean it's almost something like that. Whatever it is. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
Can you imagine if I called you at two o'clock
in the afternoon and just said, hey, you're you uh
you reach out to the vikings once in a while.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
What you what are you hearing about McCarthy? Would you
do a wellness check out me? Yes? Would you? Honestly?
Would you call ab and go something's up?

Speaker 4 (06:25):
Man? Corey has called me and asked me about McCarthy's
vibe at TCO.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
I text your wife and be like, is Corey missing?
Like is he okay? Yes. If you called me and the.

Speaker 5 (06:37):
First thing you initiated was sports conversation, I would think gossip,
sports gossip. I would think you fell and like, maybe
you need to stop having ladder time. That's what I
would think, Get off, get off of there.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (06:53):
There would legitimately be a swat team at your help. Yeah,
I would think you were Hell.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yes, I think.

Speaker 6 (06:58):
Regardless of the content of conversation, if you were calling
anybody at two pm in the point, that's a good point, right.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
In the last couple of weeks, everybody on the planet
texts me at like eleven thirty in the morning. That's
nap time. Yeah, I'm never going to respond. If you
text me at eleven thirty.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah. Yeah, I've just been bombarded in the last couple
of weeks right around nooner. No, yeah, nap be time.

Speaker 5 (07:22):
Is there anything worse in like going down to take
a nap and then radas you're about to go nap,
you get a text and it's like it's like an
important text message that you got to like deal with now.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Oh, just ignore it awful? Yeah I couldn't.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
Oh just ignore it, and then you wake up, and
then you roll out of bed and like three hours
later you go, sorry, was napping, what's up now?

Speaker 2 (07:45):
And then the problem's been fixed? Correct? Somebody else tell
with that is the best? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (07:51):
Yeah, it's a I like to nap around like one.
Oh it's a late nap. Yeah, I like to nap
around one.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
Yeah, for how long? A couple hours? Then what time
do you go to bed? Though? How do you fall
back asleep if you sleep until three?

Speaker 5 (08:06):
I didn't go to bed last night till like ten
thirty because I watched that, uh the football game. My
big thing is when it's football season, because we don't
I mean we're already in week three. The first two
weeks flew by, right when it's football season. It's worth
staying up and not getting enough sleep to watch football
because it'll be gone before we know it.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
I try and watch every football game. I don't know
how much of.

Speaker 5 (08:28):
This week's football Thursday night football game I'll watch, but like,
I love football enough that I'll stay up. So but
on another nights, I'm in bed by like seven fifteen plus.
It's good training for you because you aren't going to
get enough sleep, not too right now. So I played
golf two weeks ago with a couple of dudes and
they wanted to play at two forty five, and I

(08:50):
said that's too late, and they were like why. I'm like,
I go to bed at like seven thirty. I need
my like forty five minutes to get home. And so
we played it like one so I could get home
in time because six forty five getting homes too late
for me.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Why why are you gonna lose sleep in the next
couple of months. My wife's having a baby. You impregnated her? Yeah,
it was that, Yeah, I told you. Oh man, Yeah,
I'm shocked you didn't see you. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (09:18):
By the way, is your dad no, yeah, he knows, dad. Oh,
my dad knows be weirdess scuttle, but it'd be weird
if my dad didn't know.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
He's just like what what.

Speaker 5 (09:32):
By the way, this segment brought to you by Gutter
Helmet of Minnesota. Gutter Helmet mn dot com. Never clean
your gutters again? Right, get off that ladder, right, get
down from there?

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Dad? What are you doing? Yeah? I had a gentleman, So.

Speaker 5 (09:45):
Yesterday you had a gentleman. That's a weird way to
stop the story in my front yard digging up weeds,
you know, to like get ready for the winter, the
winter morns or whatever what because I down no, but
like it.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Gets cold out right and I'm getting all this stuff.
It sounds like an indie rock album titled love.

Speaker 4 (10:09):
Yeah, guys, listen, he's talking about how the winter gets
cold continue and what I had.

Speaker 5 (10:14):
This gentleman walk over lives in my neighborhood, super friendly,
and he was like, hey, I noticed a some of
your trees need to be knocked cut down. I'm like yeah,
and he's I'm thinking. I'm like I can't have him
because he like offered. He's like, I'll cut him down.
I have this cool saw thing. He was probably in

(10:36):
his late seventies and He's like, I just can't get
up on a ladder. My wife doesn't let me get
up on the ladder. I'm like, yeah, sounds good. And
then I thought to myself, I can't have me standing
in the front yard watching this older gentleman do yard
work for me. It would look weird. So you win
the house. No, So then I picked up more weeds

(10:58):
and talked him for a while and went back in.
But point of the story that I'm getting to is
he looked up and he was like, man, what are
those on your gutters? And I told him the whole spiel.
He's like, that's it's a cool invention. I'm like, yeah,
I don't have to get up on the ladder and
never clean him again. Then he wandered back away, but
it was it was very nice.

Speaker 4 (11:15):
So he did like your gutter helmet. He loved the
gutter helmet. He did or did not cut down these trees,
not yet, but he said he would. He said he's
got this like, so a guy that's pushing eighty, he's
going to get up on a ladder with a chainsaw
and cut down trees for you, and you're going to
watch him and pull weeds gently.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (11:33):
See here's the thing about, right, I do stuff horribly
enough where people just be like, I'll do it.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
To Ben Lieber there, right, it's the whole Simpson bit,
right how he talked about going to a Mall of
America with his wife Abby and it was such a
disaster that she's never asked him back, And he said,
advantage him.

Speaker 5 (11:50):
Yeah, but I like spending time and go I see,
I like to be around people because I need people
to talk to. But uh yeah, so if you drive
my house, you'll see me supervising an older gentleman cutting down.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
Trees on a ladder. Oh no, cheat crunch, there was
a bit unnecessary to me. Yeah, man, leaves are harder
than mutual this year. Wow, is that guy Okay? Not
only is he willing to do the work, he's also

(12:25):
admitting to you that he thinks you're being negligent. Yeah. Basically,
it's like you don't want those to fall in your house.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
So he's like, you're doing a bad job of being
a homeowner, and you look like you're in your forties,
so I'll do it for you.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
Yeah, you look worthless. What a mess.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
But he loved my gutter helmet and gutterr helmet and
sure he loved him. John Bonus is supposed to be here.
He's been gone the last couple of weeks because he
went to Florida for a little bit to watch in baseball.
Then he went to Brazil. Maxwell, you've been there. I
doubt you and Bonus did Brazil the same. But I
can't wait to compare and contrast. I'm very curious to
see what he did there.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
I can't wait.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
We've heard the scuttle butt that there were some really
dicey things about the Eagles Packers situation in salth Paulo, Brazil.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
But Bonus was there.

Speaker 4 (13:11):
Let's get the first hand story at some point here,
whether or not it was as dangerous and dicey as
others have said. Power Trip Morning Show packed today. Marnie
Geller will be hearing a little bit, Mark Rose in
a little bit, Jonathan Grenard of the Minnesota Vikings will
be calling in the eight o'clock hour, and of course
John Bonus right around the corner as well.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Hower Trip Morning Show back after this on the fan.

Speaker 4 (13:45):
Back from Brazil. Look at Johnny Bones, John Bonus, the
Twins Geek himself, Twins Daily dot com.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Believe it in the geekness. A lot of website lacked
dot com. You all talksocks dot com, you could be.

Speaker 5 (14:08):
Talk.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
We just started up a new Red Sox website. Red
Sox both welcome back.

Speaker 4 (14:19):
Hi. Lots of questions, lots of questions. You went to
You went to Florida for a couple of days, right,
that is Brazil.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
Yes, to knock off our last two major League Baseball
stadium And I mean we saved those two for last,
not because they were the best. We knew We've been
kind of putting them off. We didn't want to be
in Florida in the middle of August. Where so we
found ourselves in the Florida in Florida in the middle
of August basically.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
And neither stadium has got that great a reputation.

Speaker 5 (14:46):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
I probably enjoyed Tampa Bay more than I thought I was,
partly because of the nostalgia being in a place that's
a little bit like the Metrodome, and because the area
around it has a lot of good craft.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
Breweries, so there you know, there's stuff in there.

Speaker 4 (15:00):
It is there, it is.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
And then the Florida Marlins one, I would say was worse.
So I thought it was going to be.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
The stadium itself was great, very kind of us bankish
in terms of but it's also, you know, basically empty
because the Marlins are terrible and the area around it
is truly brutal. There's just nothing to do in that
particular area.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
You've got to go at.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
Least twenty or thirty minutes or a twenty thirty minute
walk away to kind of get to anything worth worth
doing other than one tiny little hole in the wall
bar that we found.

Speaker 5 (15:32):
So shock you, yeah, and then you got to know
us for those and you went to Brazil and we
went to Brazil.

Speaker 4 (15:38):
All right, let's walk in walk through that, because Max
has been there again. I don't think you guys did
the trip the same, but now it's probably part of
We had a lot of things about Brazil being dangerous,
that the teams were concerned, that the field was garbage,
that it was just dicey as hell, even getting to
the game.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
How many days ahead of time were you there? We
were there while we.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
Were supposed to be there two days ahead of time.
We basically arrived the day before. We had problems with
our flight. Our flight got canceled, so it was a
you know, a good twenty eight hour excursion to get
from Miami on what was supposed to be a NonStop
flight to sal Polow. So you know, we didn't get
that much time before the game itself. I would say
I expected sal Polow to be sort of like the

(16:20):
New York City of Brazil. It was more like the
Bronx than New York City, meaning like New York City
has a lot of you know, Manhattan and skyscrapers and that.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Sort of thing.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
So Apollo just Sapolo didn't didn't didn't invite you. It's just,
you know, it's not it's not it's not a seductive
place like like say Rio is and the I think
they did a really nice job of organizing what they
could organize out of that piece, like getting in and out,

(16:54):
getting to the game, getting out of the game.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Et cetera.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
But the public transport to not just public reputation transportation
in that city in general, it's just a disaster. It
took us two and a half It is supposed to
be about a forty five minute or a half hour
forty five minute drive from the airport to our hotel,
which is right in the middle of the city.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
It was about two two and a half hours. The
traffic is just unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
During rush hour, during any time there, there and out,
and the public transportation there isn't. The public transportation system
is extensive, but somehow you've got to make like three
transfers every time you want to go someplace. It doesn't
all like go to one HUBB and you just jump
and you go to the other one. So getting around
there was just a challenge. And the place itself is

(17:43):
I guess, I mean it's it's industrial. You know, it's
a city, downtown city, but there isn't like parks and
you know, funny, the last day we found we kind
of went to their Central Park and walked around there
and that was very pretty. We we enjoyed that, but
it took us all long long time to like find
anything like that just found took us several days to
do that.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
All safe, did you feel? We felt real safe? I mean,
we're you know, we're in.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
I think they had security and such on overtime in that,
you know, for the NFL for people visiting, so I
think that was part of it. We were also staying
in a pretty nice area, you know, I don't know,
if I would have from that stadium, would I have
felt comfortable going around and trying to find a bar
someplace in the near that stadium to play.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
I mean, we took a look.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
The closest room was twenty minutes thirty minutes away, and
I'm not sure I'd have felt that comfortable walk in there.
But it was also midnight on a on a Friday night,
or you know, twelve thirty at night. But by the
time that game ended, we did think too. We often
will finish up rather than you know, challenge the subway
or the crowds that naturally come from driving to a

(18:56):
game or public transmit team, we'll go out to a
bar afterwards for an hour and then till it settles
down and then leave right And this time we kind
of looked in them, that's not reallyeving an option and
then leaving that stadium to get back to our downtown place. Like,
whereas it took oh, maybe forty five minutes to take
the subway there, it took almost two hours to get back,

(19:18):
you know, partly because it was just fifty thousand people
leaving a stadium and there's no parking around that stadium.
There just is no parking, so you're either ubering or
you are taking public transportation for the most part, and
you know there's only so many ubers for fifty thousand people.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
Do we know why the game was in sal Polo
and not somewhere like Reo. Here's what I heard what
I heard.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
What I heard was, well, I mean, first of all,
it's a it's a you know, it's a world world
class stadium is a correct word. But I mean that
that sal Polo soccer team is a is worth five
hundred million dollars, like that is a legit, big, you know,
professional organization, and they have got a brand new stadium,

(20:03):
So that was a I don't even know. I don't
know enough about Rio's stadium situation to know what they
have or what they don't have. I do know they
have three Series A soccer teams within that city. My
guess is that they may try to do one in
Rio next time, because what I've heard is that the
long term plan for the NFL is to have try
and get like two teams in Brazil and then have

(20:26):
like the two Florida teams and the two teams in
Brazil be one league or one division. Right because while
it is a seven hour, eight hour flight. It isn't
seven eight hours across time zones. You're only off one
time zone from the whole East Coast, so you don't
have to worry about the jet lag thing as much.

(20:46):
You just have to worry about, well, it's a long commute.
It's maybe even as similar to an East Coast team
going to a West Coast team and back in terms
of overall uncomfortability because you don't have to deal with
the you don't have to deal with the time zone
and change. So that's what I've kind of heard. So
I wouldn't be surprised if they said, well, start with Southlo.
It's the bigger city, it's the you know, more developed city.

(21:11):
Uh Rio is just a lot more seductive city because
it's on a beach. It's about beach town.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
What cities in the US would you say are seductive?
Good question? Lacrosse? Lacrosse.

Speaker 4 (21:23):
Okay, let's get the obvious ones. Let's do a little
bit of a deeper dive. So lacrosse for sure, But John,
give me it was was Tampa Bay said, I.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
Would say, I say Miami right back, is a little
more seductive, right. I think New York is seductive.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
Do you consider Las Vegas, Nevada?

Speaker 5 (21:41):
I would say that, I put that at the top
of the list. What about Butte Montana, I would not
put there. What about the Dells, Shock Blain, Let's go.

Speaker 4 (21:58):
Blaine, slash count them as the twin cities of the North.

Speaker 5 (22:02):
What about perhaps the most seductive town in America, Climax, Minnesota.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
Sure in Climax. So, Max, did you get to South
Palla or you were just in Rio? I was only
in Rio. Yeah, I was kind of the same reason.

Speaker 6 (22:18):
It's funny here and bonus say that, because when I
was weighing my options between which one to go to,
looking at the cities just from images and videos and stuff, Yeah,
Rio was incredibly more inviting than South Polo. It's just
a lot of it's just city, you know, like you
can go a lot of places for just city. But
Rio has the rainforest, it has beaches, and Rio is
just it was just a lot more inviting in general.

(22:40):
And that's kind of what I heard from Brazilians as well,
that they kind of like Reo better than So.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
So just to fact check here, then, Max, you selected
the more seductive of the two cities.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
I know it's really out of character for me. I
can't believe that. I was trying to just, you know,
get out of my comfort zone a little bit.

Speaker 6 (22:54):
I was like, ah, I just I don't really do
well with the sensual, with the seductive, right, So John Bonus.

Speaker 4 (22:59):
Picked the in dust real one with sports took the
seductive rain Forest a fairly decent craft beer seed. All
of this seems to be pretty logical. And yeah, I
don't know, man, we got to get a team in
London way before we go to Brazil. I understand the

(23:19):
time change is what it's a six hour difference from US. Yeah, sure,
which means five hours from the East coast. But still,
let's get one in London way before we put two
in in Rio and s right, we don't even have
a Canadian team. I mean, Buffalo's close, but we don't
even have a Canadian team yet.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
Well, and while it's easy to say, listen to two
teams that are in Florida, or three teams are in Florida,
or so they can play with that one down there,
it's not that out of the way for all of them.
They're going to have to play other teams in the NFL,
like they're going to have some games versus the Seahawks
in if they end up, you know, establishing something.

Speaker 4 (23:54):
That's going to be Goodell keeps talking about this as
we continue to expand, right and hopefully eventually completely get
rid of the preseason. It would be nice if we
just had twenty regular season games at some point in
the next ten years. Sure, right, Just let's get rid
of preseason altogether and make the first one count.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
That's better for everybody except for the health of the players.
But who cares. That's for us. It's entertainment.

Speaker 4 (24:13):
But yes, he's hinted a thousand times over that it's
probably going to be where you have one.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
International game a year.

Speaker 4 (24:21):
Yeah, right, maybe every team goes somewhere, whether they're as
a host or as a visitor.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
You're going somewhere every years.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
Let me, I will say this, it's popular football. American
football is one of the reasons they chose Brazil is
because it's popular in Brazil.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
Like that is a a sport.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
It's not a you know, it's not soccer, but it's
a somewhat popular sport in Brazil. And what surprises me
most about the game was how many people there were Brazilian,
which becames verly everybody's wearing NFL jersey. You can't really tell,
you know, who's from America. And then they play like
in between commercials, that'll play like a Brazilian song and

(24:58):
sixty percent of the people of the stadium is dancing
and singing along with the song and doing the hand motions.
You're like, oh, like, we're we're We're the minority of
this particular group here.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Well, you watch the Eagles win.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
They lost last night in heartbreaking fashion to Kirk Cousins
and the Falcons. We'll talk about that when we get back.
But also, John, your baseball team is falling apart. They
are on the brink of losing a playoff spot altogether.
We'll talk about that during.

the Vikings, who.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
Is part of his defense.

Speaker 4 (26:12):
That's just shutting everybody down the last couple of weeks
at a great job against the forty nine ers. Obviously
they've just absolutely obliterated the Giants. Vikings are two and
oh and they take on a team they've never lost to,
the Houston Texans.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
Hell yeah, I five and oh or something all time.
I think, so yeah, this will be sweet. Way to jenksit, Corey.
He doesn't believe it that I wish my words were magical.

Speaker 4 (26:35):
Let's do front page Sports because I'll tell you the
opposite of magical.

red Bull at holiday for a limited time. You can

want at holiday? Get Red Bulls? You buy two, they
give you one free.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
I want to release no, no, no mix and match
Red Bull flavors not what you need on your baseball.

Speaker 4 (27:07):
The Twins had a three to nothing lead and then
in the fifth Cleveland.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
Got on the board with one.

Speaker 4 (27:12):
They added another one in the seventh, and then a
two run home run in the eighth gave Cleveland a
four to three lead, and that is the final. So
a blown lead obviously sucks for the game. John bonas No.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
Again.

Speaker 4 (27:25):
Even before the loss, almost everybody thought the division was
extremely unlikely, not mathematically impossible, but they're just very unlikely.
So it's not like, Wow, we needed to win that
game against Cleveland to have any chance of coming back
and winning the division. You just got to stay ahead
of Detroit. But both things went the wrong way. Yesterday
the Twins lost to the Guardians and Detroit beat Kansas

(27:48):
City seven to six. So the Twins now seven and
a half behind Cleveland.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
That's over.

Speaker 4 (27:53):
There's twelve games to go, but they're just a game
and a half up on Detroit and only two up
on Seattle. Twins have twelve games left, six more on
the road consecutively, by the way, and then they finished
with the final six at home. So they have three
more at Cleveland, then three at Boston, home against your
Miami Marlins, and then home against the Baltimore Oreos.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
Those are your.

Speaker 4 (28:16):
Final twelve games. With a game and a half lead
over Detroit, it's a.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
It was hard to We've got an ongoing bit on
the Cleveland of Geek podcast which I always talk about
the worst loss of the season, which one is going
to be the worst loss of the season. Because what
we have seen out of Rockaball Delly's teams in the past.
For instance, I'll bring you back to twenty nineteen, twenty
nineteen when they had that remarkable run. They had an

(28:44):
eleven and a half or so, like eleven game lead
or something in the division in early June, and by
mid August we sat down in here at a post
game and they were now tied with the Cleveland after
Cleveland won on a grand slamon extra off of our closer,
like and that was. Then the next day Cleveland took

(29:06):
a half game lead because the Twins had a day off,
well Cleveland was playing, and then after that Twins just
played regular baseball again. And when the division by four
to six, people forget that. But that is the journey
of a baseball season. Stuff like that happens every year.
But you can take a look at that grand Slam
loss that tied up the division and say that was

(29:26):
the worst loss of the season, Like that was when
you knew you'd watch the whole thing collapse, et cetera.
And so we've ked an ongoing bit about as we
watch this kind of joinle away, which of these is
the worst loss, because they've managed to lose in an
array of ways. They're not hitting, their bullpens, exploding their pitcher,
their young pitching is getting tired.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
Everybody's running on fumes.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
We may not yet be there, you know, there are
still they haven't blown this lead yet, and although they
are a game and a half up, they essentially have
like a three game lead, two ahead in the lost column,
and even if they tie in the lost column, they
end up winning the division because they've win over Seattle
or Detroit because they have the tiebreaker. So it's almost

(30:09):
like a three game or at least a two and
a half game lead in the division. But they've got
to start winning games. They're like nine and eighteen in
their last twenty seven games. They can't win go four
and eight over these last twelve at that same pace
and expect to win this division because Detroit is playing
pretty decent baseball, so and the Twins unfortunately have a

(30:30):
pretty tough schedule. This week is three More versus the
best team in the American League, which is Cleveland, or
maybe the second best team in the American League, which
is Cleveland. Then three More versus the Red Sox are
right on their tail, and then they finished the series
with three more versus.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
The Oriels, who were one of the better teams.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
They have, they'll have something to play potentially have something
to play for, although that Ale East is widened a little.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
Yeah, they're three games behind the right. So, uh, you know,
they they know it.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
The move around target field, with the players and with
the coaches and with the management. Everybody knows what's going on.
Everybody's it's driving people nuts. But they've just got to
figure out some way to rebound. And this is going
to be Rocco's biggest test. You have to kind of
figure out something that's going to turn this around.

Speaker 5 (31:19):
Would this be different if they had added somebody up
the trade deadline or attempted to spend that thirty million
dollars that they pocketed.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
I mean, yeah, here's what I mean, probably right. I
Mean what we have seen when they've had a lot
of money like that is they spend it on one
of two things.

Speaker 3 (31:40):
Right.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
They either got and get a really they get a star.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
Player like a Correa or a Josh Donaldson or somebody
like that, right, yeah, Or they add to their depth. Right,
they've got they've been they'll add to you know, veteran
bench players, et cetera. You know, they did a light
version of the ladder, they did none of the former.
And you know, at this point, it would really help
to have another veteran starter that was healthy in the rotation,

(32:08):
right it might now, you know, if they weren't bargain
shopping on the bull in the bullpen. Almost all of
their bullpen acquisitions are no longer on the team. That
they may do in the off season. I mean they've
just been released, right and so would they have done that?
I don't know, you know, but you know, what this

(32:29):
team has shown is they're not afraid to swing big
on big players with a big veteran bat. Right now,
this lineup is really struggling, and it's a lot of
the youth that is struggling Forise. Morande's just disappeared. Yeah,
just completely disappeared. Thirty million dollars, having an extra thirty
or forty million dollars, which is probably what they should

(32:49):
have had to spend.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
Yeah, would they be a better team probably?

Speaker 4 (32:54):
Why not just take that thirty million invest in the
Magnificent seven. Wait like three or four years, the money's
going to be more doubled, and then you can spend
sixty million on a free agent.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
Why do I have to come up with all the
good ideas? It was like the seven best stock. I
think that's actually similar to what the poleheads did. Just
took it and invested it.

Speaker 4 (33:12):
Yeah, how come they can't make money away from baseball
and then into the baseball team.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
Yeah, yeah, let's go. It's hanging there.

Speaker 4 (33:21):
Kids like like, are we going to see the poll
ads on Shark Tank, pitching, scrub Daddy or ring doorbells?

Speaker 2 (33:29):
I mean, they do have a growth and they regularly talking.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
But think about their press releases about a incubation group
for startups grade point.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
Yeah, we can't do that.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
I forget the name of it, but yeah, they've they've been.
They feature those pretty regular every year. They have about
a dozen sort of startups that they work with to
try and uh turn into something big.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
Like Twins Daily dot com and Initials Game dot com. No,
they have not approached us yet. I wonder why. According
to Google, the net worth is around four billion dollars.
You too know math and money.

Speaker 5 (34:04):
If they had spent thirty million dollars, would that have
affected them? Like would they have like not been able
to make their mortgage payments? I'm asking if you have
four billion dollars, well.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
Forty million would be what one to one hundredth of
four billion, so it'd be one percent.

Speaker 4 (34:26):
Yeah, And of course that's not four billion dollars in cash,
that's four billion dollars in assets.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
That's right, that's right. Well, it's not a name call here.

Speaker 4 (34:35):
Yeah, come on, the Carolina Panthers of Anaheim are benching
Bryce Young.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
It's over for him over.

Speaker 4 (34:43):
They're gonna start Andy Dalton. He was the number one
overall pick last year. Bryce Young, not Dalton, number one
overall pick last year. On Sunday, lost twenty six to
three to the Los Angeles Chargers, and he threw for
eighty four yards so far this year.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
No touchdow.

Speaker 4 (35:00):
He owns three interceptions. The Panthers have been outscored seven
or three interceptions?

Speaker 2 (35:04):
Is that what I said?

Speaker 5 (35:05):
Jero?

Speaker 2 (35:05):
Touchdowns, three interceptions.

Speaker 4 (35:06):
Panthers have been outscored seventy three to thirteen to the
Saints and the Chargers. Bryce Young in his eighteen now
career starts two and sixteen. And somebody on I think
it was around the Horn yesterday said something like the
two wins, I think they scored something like a total
of twenty six points or something, so I don't remember

(35:28):
if that's the exact number, but their point was the
two games that they won, they barely.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
Put up any points.

Speaker 4 (35:33):
They just happen to have a team, you know, a
defensive performance that was good enough to get the victory.
He look, could he go somewhere else maybe and start
over and find new life.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
It's all.

Speaker 4 (35:45):
It's obviously it's possible. These are human beings, right, Maybe
he figures it out. If this is it, if they
never go back to him in Carolina and he never
gets another true shot or never finds you have to
say he might be one of the two or three
biggest bust in the history of the NFL.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
I mean, it's so close.

Speaker 4 (36:04):
And some of the other guys that grenaded themselves out
of the league it was their own doing right, right,
you know, off the field issues are mistakes or they're
stupid as hell and they just made the dumbest choices.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
Bryce doesn't seem to have any of that. He just
can't play. But that's why he'll get another chance, don't
you think.

Speaker 4 (36:20):
Yeah, Because he seems like a guy that is at
least not making a whole bunch of off field mistakes.
He just can't make any good on field decisions. He's
not an issue if you put him on your team,
He's not a liability. The other thing, though, is yesterday,
I think it was either NFL Live or I think
it doesn't matter, But they asked dan Orlovsky.

Speaker 5 (36:39):
They're like quarterback guy, and he had to like it
took him a minute when I think it doesn't want
of them asked him, is this it? And it took
him a second. He was like, I don't think so.

Speaker 4 (36:54):
So everybody that I heard yesterday and I think they're right.
This is it for him in Carolina.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
For sure. It's over in Carolina because you can't go
back to him. Thank God, Like give your price.

Speaker 1 (37:05):
If you're him, you're like, yeah, thank god, I don't
have to deal with this organization anymore. I mean, as
bad as this year has been for him, I'll tell
you a couple of things that are going well for him.
Sam Darnold and Baker Mayilfield. Baker Mayfield right like like yeah, right,
Like what that shows is you know you've got to

(37:27):
a really talented guy. It turns out scheme coaching, Uh,
you know, additional players around you off.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
It's the line. These things matter to a young quarterback.
You can't just elevate it by himself.

Speaker 5 (37:38):
He'll somebody will trade for him in the next couple
of weeks, just because it's the it's the well, we
can fix him, that's what it'll be.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
I don't know if you trade for him though, because
he you know, see, he won't trade for him.

Speaker 4 (37:53):
You just wait till they release him in a year
or two and then you get him for nothing. You
don't want to trade for him to take the contractor yeah,
the contract. Yeah, it's not like it's a giant deal,
but it's still a number one overall pick deal. Yeah,
it's uh, it's sad man like he just he just
doesn't have it, doesn't have it.

Speaker 5 (38:11):
But but he's also odd the worst team in the NFL, Yeah,
the worst mismanaged they have other than that one. The
Derek Brown I think is his name, the guy that
went to Auburn, that played against the Gophers in that
bowl game.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
He's the only star they have no offense.

Speaker 5 (38:30):
Adam Delon But like Adam Delan's at the back and
his end of his career, they have nobody.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
But he's missing wide open receivers.

Speaker 5 (38:39):
He's a thirty one point nine QBR. He's been sacked
like seventy times. It's the it's the David Carr situation
between him and mac Jones. Is it fair to say
maybe it was just Bama's system, I mean, because Alan's
pretty good.

Speaker 6 (38:53):
Yeah, but we'll see, yeah, because I mean Bryce Young
and mac Jones look pretty good too when they were
at Bama.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know man and the talent
that Alabama has around it.

Speaker 4 (39:06):
I mean, I mean I thought the Red Rifle was
out of the league and he's got no idea.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
I had no idea, honest, thirty six and he's a
gink right, Yeah, he's a ginger. Yeah. If you're an
ask that's dangerous. Nick. It makes me uncomfortable.

Speaker 4 (39:24):
I was like, I was like, oh my god, hard Cake,
Oh yeah, give it to him, give it to the
Red Rifle.

Speaker 1 (39:35):
You would ask me who Carolina would have as their
backup quarterback, right, Andy Dalton and Dalton just at the
top of that.

Speaker 5 (39:44):
When I saw like them warming up and I saw
him with the helmet on him like Sam Darnold's also
on the Panthers and him.

Speaker 4 (39:51):
Yeah, it's it's if somebody told you yesterday that Andy
Dalton retired in twenty fifteen, would you have believed that?

Speaker 5 (39:58):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (40:01):

Speaker 4 (40:31):
All right, staff for what really matters? I do scores
and stats around the world of sports. How sauce are
you gonna fill us in with something that actually matters?

Speaker 2 (40:40):
That's great?

Speaker 5 (40:41):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (40:41):
The Falcons beat the Eagles twenty two to twenty one.
Kirk Cousins twenty of twenty nine for two forty one,
a couple of touchdowns and no interceptions, and he left
the Falcons on a game winning seventy yard drive with
a touchdown at Drake London with just thirty four seconds
to go.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
Both teams now one and one.

Speaker 4 (41:00):
It hurts eighty five yards rushing about half of those
on one drive. Under and eighty three yards in the air. Again,
both teams now one and one. But what really matters
is this.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
The deepest place on Earth is Marianna's Trench. How deep
is it?

Speaker 4 (41:22):
That's a great question, my feet. Do you think it's
as deep as like Everest is.

Speaker 1 (41:31):
That's why I'm going to I was going to said
eighteen twenty thousand feet deep.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
Right, it's deeper than that, deeper than that, all right,
So then let's go. Man, I don't know how tall
Everest is, that will go. I think Everes just twenty
twenty two thousand something like that. Alright, then let's go
twenty four thousand feet. I will go thirty thousand feet.
I'm gonna go forty five forty thousand baxo, I'll do.

Speaker 5 (41:54):
I'll do thirty five. Macso is the closest. Hey, it's
almost seven miles. It's thirty six and one feet deep.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
All right, So I knew that exact number. I was
just trying to throw you guys out.

Speaker 4 (42:09):
Here was.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
My thought process of that. I would I should have
probably come up with thirty six. As what the earth
is two thirds water, you would expect that they would
be like a third bigger a third deeper than the
mountain is high, you know what I mean, the fact
that the if it was about even if it was

(42:31):
fifty percent water, you'd expect it to be about twenty
four thousand deep versus twenty four thou it was my
when my I don't know if that logic actually makes.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
That logic makes any sense. It would have worked, so
it sounded good. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (42:53):
Deebo Samuel apparently got hurt at the end of the
Vikings game kind of quietly went under the radar. But Deebo,
with a couple of minutes to go, got injured, and
he's gonna miss a couple of weeks with a calf stream.
So Christian McCaffrey out at least the next three because
he's on IR so he's gonna miss it at least
three more. And now they're gonna be without Debo. Really
difficult to do anything, not much.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
I mean, I wonder if this is one of these
things where maybe it was a problem or something was
going on beforehand, and then maybe.

Speaker 4 (43:21):
According maybe according to Shanahan, though, it was a play
that happened with a little more than two minutes to go.
So man, that's another big loss for the San Francisco
forty nine ers. Like everybody with the brain says every year,
it's not who you play, it's when you play them.

Speaker 5 (43:36):
Right.

Speaker 4 (43:36):
Advantage to anybody that's got the Niners in the next
couple of weeks when you don't have McCaffrey and deebo.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
Man and Brandon Nayuka sucked this season, SOCA has sucked
so far, Trey Williams hasn't played.

Speaker 4 (43:46):
Well, let's go, doesn't matter if the Vikings already got
the w right, Oh yeah, man, we're all the way right,
seventeen and.

Speaker 2 (43:54):
Oh right, sixteen and one.

Speaker 4 (43:56):
Okay, so yesterday you said fourteen and three, Now you're
just sixteen and one.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
Change my mind. You'll like fantastic. What really matters is this, Lobsters.

Speaker 5 (44:04):
Are not biologically immortal, but they do produce an en
zome enzyme excuse me that repairs their cells and helps
their DNA to replicate indefinitely.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
I did not know that. So lobsters are essentially mini wolverines. Yeah,
they're many D one thousands.

Speaker 4 (44:28):
My guess is there are dozens of sciences trying to
figure out how to harness lobster replication or enzyme replications,
just so we can have humans find a way to
regenerate cells. Right, we always talk about that with like sharks,
that sharks don't get cancer. Yeah, why let's figure that
out and then let's give it to us. Let's steal

(44:49):
all the good animal stuff. Yeah, put it in us.

Speaker 1 (44:52):
Is one of the plots of a Spiderman two or
something with the lizard guy keeps growing.

Speaker 4 (44:58):
Back is on the first Spider Man in the Andrew
Garfield universe.

Speaker 2 (45:04):
That's the lizard. This is the second one though, first one.

Speaker 4 (45:10):
It's the first one in bad in that one, Yeah,
almost positive, right, because doesn't he go Max?

Speaker 2 (45:16):
Yep, that's true.

Speaker 5 (45:17):
Because the second one is when you uh Jamie Fox. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
that one terrible. That one's not awful, terrible, awful. He's
so much better when he comes back in the Newest
Spider Man. You know what else looks really bad?

Speaker 2 (45:29):
Max? The New Venom.

Speaker 6 (45:32):
I'm shocked that that got to three movies and you
could tell they ran out of ideas.

Speaker 5 (45:36):
In the trailer when there's a venom horse terrible enough. Yeah,
take him out back, put him, turn him into glue.

Speaker 2 (45:45):
Venom blue. Yeah, is the first one.

Speaker 6 (45:49):
Good no, it's the best one, but it was bad,
and even Woody Harrelson was bad in the second one.
It's just none of these things that are ancillary to
the main superhero are gonna be any good unless they
encounter the main superhero. Like, I don't really The Joker
is great, but there's only so much I want to
see him before. I want to see him fight Batman

(46:10):
like Venom is great, but if he's never going to
meet up with Spider Man, what are we doing here?

Speaker 2 (46:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (46:18):
Is there any rumor of Batman appearing in this second Joker?

Speaker 2 (46:23):
I no, I don't think. I don't think he exists
as far as we know in that universe. You nailed it.
What is the points? The point? What's the endgame? Singing?
I guess you do a lot. Yeah. The reviews so
far are worse than the first one.

Speaker 4 (46:38):
Yeah, and again the first one is just an unbelievable
performance by Walking but not a great movie.

Speaker 2 (46:45):
No, just he's so good.

Speaker 5 (46:47):
Yeah, Like, eh, well, I remember watching that verse one.
I'm like, you know what this needs more like a
star is born energy? When need Lady Gaga, we need
more music?

Speaker 3 (46:59):
You do?

Speaker 6 (47:00):
You did say that a lot right away and they listen,
you started singing in the theater.

Speaker 5 (47:04):
I feel bad for calling the studio now and having
them listen to my idea.

Speaker 4 (47:08):
Well I called them, but they must not have listened
very well because I said we need a venom.

Speaker 2 (47:12):
Horse and they put it in the wrong movie. Is
it my turn? Yes? Go for football hosts Iowa Saturday
at six thirty. How about that? We got the night
game six? Me too. Are you going to tailgate with Tommy?
I don't know. I'm going with seam Bear. You should

(47:33):
go tailgate with Tommy. Why don't you tailgate with Tommy?

Speaker 5 (47:37):
Tommy, I don't know what we're gonna do, So yeah,
I'm going. What's the point of going to one game every.

Speaker 4 (47:41):
Decade if you're not gonna go tailgate with Tommy?

Speaker 2 (47:44):
I don't. I mean, I'll just go just have a
couple of drinks with Tommy.

Speaker 4 (47:49):
You know he's listening right now and he's about to
text you say yeah, yeah, thirty seven.

Speaker 2 (47:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (47:56):
The Iowa Hawk guys are two and a half point
favorites on DraftKings.

Speaker 2 (47:59):
And how about this? The over under thirty six and
a half that seems high? Are wonder I mean, Gophers
haven't given up a point the last two.

Speaker 4 (48:12):
Yeah, back to back shout outs for the first time
since nineteen sixty two.

Speaker 2 (48:16):
But what really matters is this, pineapples take two years
to grow?

Speaker 5 (48:25):
No, I guess are you serious? Yeah, I'm not even
like doing it a bit here. Yeah, so like the
things the pine app pineapples what a pain in the
ass fruit? Put your hands?

Speaker 4 (48:41):
Is it a fruit?

Speaker 2 (48:42):
It's a fruit?

Speaker 4 (48:43):
Okay, yeah, according to artificial intelligence here a quick search,
pineapples typically take eighteen months to three years to grow.
What's the point, But the timeframe can vary depending on
the climate, variety, and care of the plant.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
Will take good care of them?

Speaker 5 (48:57):
Yeah, well no, don't take it, just kill them waiting
three pine pineapples are excellent.

Speaker 2 (49:06):
Yeah, I'm sure they're great, but that's a lot of work.
You don't eat pineapple? No, oh, they're so good. Well,
a lot of people would prefer if you did.

Speaker 4 (49:17):
Goodness, So this one is saying that it takes the
plant two years to flower, but then it and it
takes the fruit only six months to go.

Speaker 5 (49:27):
Okay, that makes a little more sense. I'm like, how
does that economically speaking?

Speaker 2 (49:32):
How does that work? If it's.

Speaker 4 (49:35):
Over Yeah, I did not want to spend the rest
of my day thinking about the economics of pineapple growth,
and now I'm going to spend at least an x
seven seconds thinking about it.

Speaker 2 (49:44):
Yeah, we get an expert, well sauces, that's me.

Speaker 1 (49:48):
So my worst experience in Brazil was, uh, you know,
we gotta went to the grocery store because he's like, oh,
I want to buy some bananas, but there's no bananas.
It doesn't look like they're they're really yellow. Yet they're green,
so she buys some green bananas. You guys ever tried
to eat it? Unripe banana?

Speaker 2 (50:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (50:07):
The world. They're so sticky and it's it's it's such
a hasshole man, like by the times, faster you peel it,
you can already smell like this ain't gonna right.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
And of course they're probably super ripe down there, right,
I mean, who, well.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
It provided you don't get that the grocery store late
at night and also left is the unripe ones.

Speaker 2 (50:31):
You ever done this screen? Did we just meet you?

Speaker 5 (50:36):
No?

Speaker 2 (50:37):
Okay, you don't eat bananas. No hot dead.

Speaker 1 (50:41):
So if you try to peel an unripe banana, it
doesn't peel. No, no, it's just faster the fruit and
what that, and that stickiness gets all over your hEDS
and you can't wash it up. No, it's it's a
and then even if you do get to the at
the fruits in editable.

Speaker 2 (51:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (51:02):
Yeahas have a shelf life of about five minutes.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
They really do.

Speaker 5 (51:08):
It's too ripe once they start to go the wrong way.
Gross right, yeah. Yeah, it's banana bread type.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (51:18):
They gotta get the U on that, Like we gotta
genetically modify these bananas.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
Give them more time. They just need more time. Minnesota
becomes the new banana, yeah leader. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (51:33):
The Wild have their first preseason game of four this
Saturday at the Winnipeg Jets.

Speaker 2 (51:41):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (51:42):
The first preseason home game for the Wild is next Friday,
the twenty seventh, also against Winnipeg. The regular season starts
for the Wild in October tenth against something called Columbus.

Speaker 5 (51:53):
There is nothing better than preseason hockey. I really can't wait.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
That's my bit.

Speaker 5 (51:59):
They should add more preseason act. I think we have
like like last year's like seven or eight games preseason.
I'm like, but no, it's good. You know, they gotta
get ready. And it's been a long summer, so we'll
get back into the whole winter thing starting Saturday. Apparently
that's crazy. It's snuck up on most of us. We

(52:20):
all have it fully covered at Hockeywilderness dot com. Like
the Minnesota wild it was organic. What really matters is this.
The printing press, which revolutionized the sharing of information, was
invented by Gutenberg around what year, fifteen thirteen? That sounds right.

(52:48):
I'm gonna go sixteen thirty seven, let's say fourteen. Yeah,
I was in the fourteens as well.

Speaker 2 (52:53):
Fourteen.

Speaker 4 (52:54):
I'm gonna go just for the weed smokers. I'm gonna
go fourteen, twenty fourteen forty. Ay out on my Doug Guttenberg.
You know, Steve Gutenberg is part of that lineage.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
I did not know that.

Speaker 4 (53:13):
So theoretically the script for Police Academy would not have
been printed without his great great.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
Great great great great great great great grandfather. I never
thought of that. Yeah, well no you did. That's who
you get to blame. You mean, who to blame Police Academy.
Say that to Pat Proff's face. I love the Police
Academy movies.

Speaker 4 (53:32):
Michael Winslow doing sound effects, Bobcat being Bobcat yeah, they're okay,
you're right, Gutenberg being Gutenberg.

Speaker 2 (53:43):
It was an unwarranted cheap shadow. It was it really
was more of what really matters after this powers for
morning Chow fan.

Speaker 5 (54:21):
Misstopping by our booth at the State Faris shop are
Kapa and pro shop now to stock up on all
your favorite new designs.

Speaker 6 (54:28):
Get them soon before they're gone. That's kaban dot com
keyword store to shout today. Please don't yell at me anymore.

Speaker 4 (54:34):
Barb all right, more of what really matters. Martie Geldner
in like fifteen minutes, Rosie in less than an hour.
John Bonus is here though, back from Brazil.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
We haven't gotten to Rio yet. What do you mean,
we haven't gotten a real yet. We've talked about so Pola.
We have not talked about Rio. See Oh, I see
that I'm confusing. I didn't know you went to both.
I thought you just want to sound the game.

Speaker 4 (54:57):
I thought all your references too, were just your knowled
without going to Reed. No, no, no, So now it's
starting to make more Sense's two weeks didn't hang out.

Speaker 2 (55:06):
A second here.

Speaker 4 (55:08):
Sidney Crosby signed a two year extension with the Penguins
now through twenty seven, he's locked up with the Penguins.
He was the number one pick in the five draft.
That insane. I mean, I know Lebron, I know Lebron's
still playing and he was in three. But we're talking
about like for guys like Max and Zach their entire lives,

(55:30):
Sidney Crosby has been playing hockey and Lebron James has
been playing basketball at least their conscious life.

Speaker 2 (55:37):
The whole way. You guys don't know those two sports.
Without those two guys.

Speaker 6 (55:41):
No, it's gonna be really weird one day when they're
not around. Like, Sidney Crosby is the face of the
NHL to me, and he always has been since I
was a kid in Lebron pretty much the same way
for the NBA it was. I'm still getting used to
not having Tom Brady on the field in the NFL.

Speaker 5 (55:55):
It's it's incredibly odd to me. Is Crosby still good?
Zach O, Yeah, he's doing really really well. I don't
know his stats were last year exactly, but he's he's
pulling his weight, he's earning his his his due, and uh,
you know, we saw Ovechkin kind of take a step
back this past season, but forty two goals and fifty

(56:18):
two assists for ninety four points.

Speaker 2 (56:19):
In fact, that is that's the year ninety four, top
of your head. That's incredible.

Speaker 5 (56:25):
This is the last last four years here. Actually, let's
to last. Yeah he was hurt three or four you
but yeahd had fifty two points two years ago, forty two,
I'm sorry, ninety three points two years ago, ninety four.
This year, I mean, this is this is a guy
that's still lighting it up. And uh wow, I'm I'm a.

Speaker 2 (56:47):
Big fan of him. He's he's a good dude. Everybody
talks about it. He's a really excellent, awesome character dude.
And his Zucker raved about it about it. He's the
best said, he's one of the nicest guys in the league.
But what really matters is this about Rio breaking news.
There's a lot of thongs in Rio.

Speaker 6 (57:05):
Okay, now you have Max's attention, I'm here, My antennas
are up.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
That is not the only thing that you had.

Speaker 4 (57:17):
On.

Speaker 2 (57:17):
So is this the seductive sort of the city? I mean,
the whole city is.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
Rio is a much more interesting city than Rio is
built in the middle. First of all, the landscape around
it is gorgeous, right, like the whole Jesus on the
Hill and stuff. That is because it is surrounded by
these enormous hills, which you would think would make it
almost impossible to build a city there.

Speaker 2 (57:40):
I like Christ the Redeemer. You just called Jesus on
the Hill. Whatever.

Speaker 5 (57:52):
It sounds like a new podcast you testify, p A,
I got this great idea, man.

Speaker 2 (58:00):
Uh did you go see it?

Speaker 5 (58:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (58:04):
Yeah, it was fantastic. Did you hike or you took
the train? We took it. We took a tour. Actually sweet.

Speaker 1 (58:09):
We packed all of our touristy stuff in Rio into
one like six hour tour.

Speaker 2 (58:13):
It was great. Yeah, I don't blame and people get
robbed on the hike.

Speaker 4 (58:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (58:17):
I had to sign a waiver just to go into
the woods.

Speaker 1 (58:21):
And I, I mean, I don't know that I'd want
to go up. That's just a long climb it is.

Speaker 6 (58:26):
And there's wild monkeys, man, which sounds cool and sounds
fun until there's nothing between you and a wild monkey.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
And these are not small monkeys, no, because we saw
some while we were up there. We saw some of
the wild monkeys.

Speaker 4 (58:38):
Yeah, that would be so cool to see monkeys in
the wild would be bad as it was, it was terrifying.

Speaker 2 (58:47):
Well monkeys, of course they're perched. I don't know the name,
but I mean they've got to be.

Speaker 4 (58:53):
Did it look like Marcel from Friends where they could
catch the monkeys?

Speaker 1 (58:57):
They were about the size of, like, say, a grocery baging.

Speaker 2 (59:01):
What a weird thing to compare.

Speaker 5 (59:07):
I would say that, are you talking plastic or reusable
or paper paper?

Speaker 2 (59:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (59:13):
Paper bag? And you talking about the one with the handles?
Are the one that's more taller the.

Speaker 4 (59:19):
One does it look like does it look like the
monkey at the end of American Beauty that's floating up?

Speaker 2 (59:25):
I have not seen? Oh got it?

Speaker 5 (59:27):
That's a really good reference. It took me a while
because you're smarter than I have. But that's pretty funny.

Speaker 2 (59:33):
I get that. I mean it's a data.

Speaker 4 (59:35):
It's always good when somebody doesn't laugh and then go
that was very funny.

Speaker 2 (59:40):
But like it was, it was funny and clever enough
that it just deserves.

Speaker 4 (59:44):
Like the Have you guys ever seen the Family Guy
episode where they rip on Oscar winning movies? They rip
like Forrest Gump and American Beauty is one of them.
You should watch it. They destroy that movie for how
dumb it is, and how they you know, obsess about
the floating plastic bag.

Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
Very funny.

Speaker 4 (01:00:06):
Yeah, I also didn't laugh when I just said the story.
But you gotta trust me, it's very funny. All right,
I'll give it a work. Ye, give it a whirl.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
Did you guys make a Seventh Avenue pizza?

Speaker 5 (01:00:18):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
Tell by Zach's attitude. Make it smells deliciously? It does? Okay,
So anyway, we're getting distracted. There's a lot of thongs,
a lot of thowgs.

Speaker 3 (01:00:29):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:00:29):
It's also right on the ocean. There's plenty of beaches.
Co Cabana Beach in Panima Beach and Ibanima Beach has
unbelievable sunsets sure where basically all of the young attractive
people go out on a big rock on the point
of the beach and end up sitting there and watching
the sunset, and then then they all sunset happens, and

(01:00:53):
then they all go to start hitting clubs each other,
et cetera.

Speaker 2 (01:00:57):
Right, So give me the safety factor between Rio and
so Polo.

Speaker 1 (01:01:04):
I'd say, well, felt safer I think overall. Uh, But
that was also because there's a much bigger like the
NFL was there there was a bigger, you know, security presence.
I think in general, I don't know how how comfortable
I would feel going to most of Rio.

Speaker 4 (01:01:24):
Uh, that's gonna be used an act, right that, Like
the nice places were nice and you felt safe, but
if you went down the wrong path, it was like
immediately the dirtiest places you've ever seen in were terrified. Legitimately,
what you're one street away from having two streets away
from hell at all times, like the New Orleans. Yeah, pretty,
I mean I would imagine, but the favelas in Brazil
make the ghettos in the United States look like the Hampton's.

Speaker 2 (01:01:45):
Like it's it's true poverty. It's really sad to see
in pretty harrowing, but.

Speaker 6 (01:01:50):
Yeah, it's in and that mixed in with some of
the most beautiful sights you've ever seen on Hipanima and
Copa Cabana Beach, It's it's kind of a jarring experience.

Speaker 2 (01:01:59):
That is exactly right. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:02:01):
One of the previews I read of Rio was Rio
is problematic, and that's a great way to describe real.

Speaker 2 (01:02:09):
Yeah, is problematic.

Speaker 1 (01:02:11):
You are right, you are two blocks at all times
from something a little dicey, and then they could get
a lot worse. But on the other hand, it's you know,
gorgeous beaches and the dollar is so strong there, and
you know, beautiful scenery and beautiful people, the people playing

(01:02:31):
the Yeah, it's it's great.

Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
Grocery bag sized monkeys. Yeah, that's up there.

Speaker 5 (01:02:37):
Yeah, so many slabs, grocery size, big monkeys.

Speaker 2 (01:02:41):
That's a huge.

Speaker 4 (01:02:46):
Is it my turn? Marnie's going to be here in
a second. The Links are at Connecticut at six o'clock.

Speaker 2 (01:02:52):
The links are.

Speaker 4 (01:02:53):
Twenty nine and nine Connecticut twenty seven and eleven, So
two of the best teams in the WNBO man squaring
off regular season wrapping up pretty quick here. It's almost
playoff time for the Links. Let's see what Cheryl Reeve
can do. Oh yeah, with the FSA Collie. We're in
a bunch of girls I went to high school with.

Speaker 2 (01:03:11):
You know what really matters though, was this?

Speaker 5 (01:03:15):
Oh yeah, I thought we were gonna hear more about
butt cheets. Do you have anything about book jeets? Excuse
me about che I went for the cuss before the
tea sound there, that's my bad.

Speaker 2 (01:03:27):
It happens. German chocolate cake was invented in Texas.

Speaker 5 (01:03:36):
Hmmm, uh, the germ is crazy because texas hold him
was invented in Germany.

Speaker 2 (01:03:44):
Yeah, that was my Yeah, I was, I did. Wow.
I almost got a laugh from Corey. That that was
Zachary got a lip quiver.

Speaker 4 (01:03:55):
Zachary Texas hold him joke despite me not laughing, was
very funny.

Speaker 2 (01:04:06):
I always laughed. That was a sign of respect.

Speaker 4 (01:04:11):
The one day you say you're trying to give me
a tip of the cap is the one day you're
not wearing a hat. I couldn't find it. Couldn't find
your hat. Don't you have multiple hats? You just got
a hat for your birthday.

Speaker 6 (01:04:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:04:21):
But I didn't want to go back into because if
I walked back into the bathroom, I have to go
back into through our room and my wife was sleeping.

Speaker 2 (01:04:27):
I don't want to wake her up because you got
her pregnant. I did get her pregnant. Yeah, Man, there
to go. Man, Yeah, does your dad No, my dad doesn't.
Corey's dad does. Yeah, he's heard about it through the
grape vine. My dad's done Reddit. So he saw Oh god, yeah,
I said.

Speaker 4 (01:04:47):
The guy likes the scuttle budd if he wants all
the rumors, So he goes on Reddit man Reddit. Sure
he doesn't know how to get the you know, iHeart
to open up on like Alexa, but he sure as
hell can find reddit boards. Yeah he could, but he
know where to find the hatred for the.

Speaker 2 (01:05:01):
Power for sure, my turn again.

Speaker 4 (01:05:07):
The Vikings host the Texans Sunday at noon, right here
on the fan. Both teams are two and oh the
Texans have CJ. Stroud luckily not Bryce Young.

Speaker 2 (01:05:18):
Otherwise everything would be different. You are correct, butterfly effect
to the nth degree.

Speaker 4 (01:05:24):
That is Sunday right here on the fan, your home
for Vikings football ten o'clock pregame fan line follows.

Speaker 2 (01:05:29):
What really matters, though, is.

Speaker 5 (01:05:30):
This Lemons float, Limes sink because limes are denser than lemons.
They drop to the bottom of a glass. All right,
they dropped to the bottom of the glass. Will lemons
float on top?

Speaker 2 (01:05:47):
You are the lime of the Power to Morning Show.
Well you're not that. You sink. You just more dense.

Speaker 5 (01:05:53):
And the line doesn't float because it's denser than the lemon. Right,
it's because it's denser than the water that it's in.

Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
I don't ask Bonus, look at Zacho.

Speaker 5 (01:06:03):
That is correct science, bitch, whoa whoa oh is that
hey aw podcasts, Yes, zachs.

Speaker 4 (01:06:13):
Yep, right, Zacho. Whatever floats your boat, The answer is buoyancy. Oh,
I don't think you're very dense, Paul, at least not compared.

Speaker 2 (01:06:23):
To a line I've moved on.

Speaker 4 (01:06:25):
What you were the line of the Power Trip Morning
Show when you tried to swim those ten laps and
I bet Carly one thousand dollars you couldn't do it
at a buoyancy there, No, you sank after a lap
and a half. Yeah, that was the easiest money I
have ever made in my entire life. And I've had
an easy life.

Speaker 2 (01:06:40):
Yeah. Our moments of my life were I was down
in the dumps. That was probably on the top of
the list. Yep, and that was one of my favorite
moments of mine. Shocking. So you know, ying and Yang
you know it works. Please die soon.

Speaker 5 (01:07:01):
I thought.

Speaker 4 (01:07:04):
I thought you said please like you were Oliver Twist
begging for food.

Speaker 2 (01:07:10):
Then you added die soon. Have you swim?

Speaker 4 (01:07:16):
Swam, swum since that moment? In an ocean, in a pool, anywhere?

Speaker 2 (01:07:22):
Lake up there? Sometimes?

Speaker 5 (01:07:24):
Yeah, I have a lake, but you can't really you Yeah,
I've walked in and floated on an inner tube, But.

Speaker 2 (01:07:33):
Then that doesn't count. You'll have you'll be shocked. You
had to come out and save me, Dov. Yeah, he
had to swim me back in. Yeah, throw me a rope.
Why why couldn't you swim in yourself on an inner tube?

Speaker 4 (01:07:48):
It was too far away. I floated, I was climking
and dranking. Just let the water take me. What's more embarrassing?
What's more embarrassing you not being able to swim in
a car giving me a thousand dollars or having to
ask your adult brother to swim out and tug you
back to shore.

Speaker 5 (01:08:09):
Probably the one thousand dollars thing, because he knows that
that was He knew that journey was upon him. Once
he saw his fat, overweight brother get on an inner tube.
He even said, He's like.

Speaker 2 (01:08:20):
Just let me know. I'll swim out and get you.
How did you load it too far? I yelled for him.
Oh man.

Speaker 4 (01:08:28):
It's the equivalent of when Hanks watched Wilson float away
and he realizes I can go get him, but I
don't know if I can get back to this raft.

Speaker 2 (01:08:36):
Yeah. I wonder if Dove had that same thought. Is
it worth going to save Paul?

Speaker 4 (01:08:41):
Or should I just let him to float out in
the middle of this lake, because, as you just said,
you have a lake, it's your lake.

Speaker 2 (01:08:46):
Yeah, I would have just let you float. Yeah, you
would have floated forever. Man, that's a big lake. Yeah,
I'd still be floating. Would you guys have missed me?
I would, thanks, Bony. I don't know how he would
possibly go on without the power trips line. You could
easily go on without. In general, do you like limes

(01:09:06):
or lemons?

Speaker 5 (01:09:07):
I like I like limes because they go good with
a tequila soda, which I've had a few in my day.
Probably on that inner tube, Yeah, probably probably. I like
drinking up there. It's like the only place I drank
pull that in.

Speaker 2 (01:09:24):
Manny's get pretty hammered there. But a different time.

Speaker 1 (01:09:28):
I'm gonna Grandpa Bona has a Grandpa Bonus has a question.
When you say clanking and drinking, Yeah, is that just
because clankin rhymes with drinking or is clanking a verb
that a slang term that refers to an actual verb
that I don't understand.

Speaker 5 (01:09:43):
I think that just means hitting glasses together. Okay, I
got it, But if you want to client later. My
cousin came out Zach.

Speaker 4 (01:09:55):
Zach used to walk across the street and go to
this bathroom over here and clanket.

Speaker 2 (01:10:01):
The news is next. Martie should join in a second
is the power Troop? Moon'ting chow on the fan? The
fan
