Microwaveable? I don't know if theyhave a microwavable safe? And I
don't know why you'd want to paya safe and a microwave, right.

(03:20):
I don't think that's the right wayto open it. I don't think so
either. Real value. Oh,speaking of that, guys, I'm sorry,
what'd you say? Don't go?Don't go? Hey, Cory,
you desperately want to talk about Timbols? Can I tell you something that's kind
of sort of sports related? Actuallyit's more than just sort of. There's
a book, and I know it'snot new. It's it's by a sports

(03:42):
writer by the name of Right Thompson. First name, right, last name
Thompson, right with the W.And the book is called The Cost of
These Dreams, Sports Stories and Otherserious Business narrated by the author. I
don't think I could recommend a bookmore than this for anybody who has a
even a slight sports fan. It'sthis guy, right Thompson, big time
writer. He works for ESPN,or at least worked for ESPN. The

(04:08):
very first article he reads his ownarticles is about Michael Jordan. You guys
are familiar, remember that guy?Yeh. It plays a little bit like
right right exactly. You want totalk about the first time ever ever read
an in depth story about mj thatwas kind of honest. Wasn't written from
a he's my hero perspective. I'mnot sure if Michael Jordan was in this

(04:30):
room any of us would like him. He's still the greatest of all time,
and I'm not necessarily sure that it'shis fault, but he is.
You know, everybody talks about hisgambling. Yeah, you've talked about that
it's not just that he gambles witheverybody. He hates to lose so much
that he would be intolerable to bearound. Yeah, yeah, I've heard
that. Actually, that's what really, that's what Phil Jackson said. The

(04:50):
difference between Kobe and Michael Jordan isthat Kobe's competitiveness ended when he got off
the court, and Michael Jordan wouldrace you to the cars. And here's
the problem with that. That's agreat point, Max. The problem with
that is his basketball career ended,but that did not so his post life,

(05:12):
post basketball, post playing career lifehas been torture. Yeah, he
must be one of the most miserablerich people on the planet. I think
he even in his own Hall ofFame speech said something like it was bittersweet
because that means he couldn't technically neverbe in the NBA again, and that's
why he got into NASCAR, andbecause he wanted he needed something to try

(05:32):
to fill that competitive void. That'sfunny. We were just Ben and I
were just talking about piss Off theYear because I'm watching last year's World Series
of Poker main event for the thirdtime, and Richard Seymour, who won
three Super Bowls, made the moneylast year in the main event and has
taken poker very seriously the last decadeor so, basically since he's been out.
He's in the Pro Football Hall ofFame, but he freaking loves poker.

(05:54):
And I think it's exactly what Jordanchase is the competitive rush that you
lose once you're done. You gotto the beast. You gotta find something
else. Well I don't know whatit is, but you got to find
something. There's something also to theidea, and I think Jordan, actually
this was a direct quote from Jordan. A competition is the only thing that
quiets the voices. So he hasto find something where he has to beat

(06:18):
everybody or or he can't. Hismind won't let him believe he's good enough
unless he's beating somebody at something,do you know what I mean? Like
I told you, and I knowthis is a very small sample size,
but when I was at the sametable of Michael Jordan playing poker, he
outside of it being the most surrealmoment in my life, I just honestly
couldn't believe it, being four feetaway from him, going like I can't

(06:41):
believe that's a real person. Itwas so it was so weird, It
was so surreal, it didn't feelreal. He truly didn't want to fold
any hand in poker. The rightplay a lot is folding, but he
hate but folding is quitting. Itlooked like it was hurting him to fold,
like even if I know I'm losing, and he's like, I don't
don't want to quit in this hand. It's like, that's not how the

(07:01):
game works. But man, itpained him to fold it. And this
is a charity tournament. Who cares? This isn't the World Series of Poker.
He didn't want to fold a hand. He played almost every hand,
he didn't play well, he bustedand then they, you know, they
automatically put it at the final table. That was part of this. Right,
if you make it to the finaltable, you get to play with
Michael Jordan. That's cool. Butthat's also what we heard about the other

(07:23):
tournament at Cannabury back of the day. The story that I heard was that
he was in town with I don'tremember if it was like Charles Oakley and
whoever. It was like a handfulof other NBA guys and they all had
busted out of the tournament. Andthey were like, let's go, let's
go down town, let's go party. And Michael's like, no, I'm
winning this. And I think itwas something like a motorcycle was on the
line to win it, and hewas like, I'm winning this tournament.
They're like, guy who cares.Trent Tucker's thrilled, you're already here.

(07:48):
You made trend happy. Let's go, let's go party, and he wanted
to stay and win. Yeah,I've I've heard similar things about the way
he plays golf. Is they beton every single thing, drives, yeah,
all of it. Well, well, I mean you talk about feeding
the beast and then that competitive nature. And I know we were talking about

(08:11):
Jordan here, but one of myfavorite stories is about Tiger Woods. Now
that you mentioned golf here, saucytiger Woods. It was Faridy that told
the story that Tiger Woods is socompetitive that at one time, when they
were playing golf together, they gotinto a fart competition and he said,

(08:31):
I swear he asked his pants towin, just to win. Wow,
Well, do you want to bea champion or not? Musk. So
only one of us here was aprofessional athlete, Ben, did you go
through that transition where you were like, what am I going to do for
that adrenaline rush the rest of mylife? I'm gonna tell you he already

(08:52):
did you have nineteen different jobs?Is your pattern? You have you got
to do, you got to doall and you're on and you're in front
of people. So yeah, yeah, I've never really looked I've never really
looked at it like that. Ijust I've always known that I'm I'm a

(09:13):
worker. B That's what I am. That's what I like to do.
I like to work. So Iknew that about myself. I was never
I was I never jumped into theconversation when some of the other guys in
the locker room like I can't waitto retire and just do nothing. I'm
like, that's not me. Ican't even I'm not even gonna fantasize about
that, Like I I know thatI will have I will have a mental
breakdown if I if that is meright? But I do wonder and it'd

(09:35):
be interesting to talk to like asports psychologist or even just you know,
some some high uh you know,high profile person that understands how the brain
works. I feel like what Jordanhas, what Tiger Woods has what sounds
like Tom Brady has. It's thething that makes them the top one percent.

(09:56):
We all understand that, But Ithink it's beyond competitiveness. Competitiveness is
like a too general of the term. I think it's a psychosis in a
healthy way when it's directed in theright way. But when it's not,
I think it's a real mental disorder. I think it's a problem. I
don't look at as a I don'tlook at as reverence of like, oh
my gosh, it's toxic, it'storture. It's like I think that,

(10:18):
like it's not something that we shouldall strive to be and in like in
a general sense like that is you'rethat is crazy time. So then you
you admire the Kobe mentality of whenyou're on the court, it's game one.
Then you have the ability to doI admire, I admire athletes and
professionals that know how to turn iton and off. So let me ask

(10:39):
you this be because almost everything you'vedone though post football, right whether it's
broadcasting or radio or Twin Cities live, you're doing You're doing a lot of
things, but all of them arepassively competitive, right average, at all
of them passively. It's it's yourcompeting for ratings and maybe trying to upgrade

(11:00):
of different broadcast teams. But ina sense, but it's not a true
winner and loser, right, It'snot like a race or a tournament or
a so you don't have that likeurge to win anything the rest of it.
I've always compete against myself, okay, So because it's never it's never
necessarily been about. Of course,you use other people and other barometers to

(11:20):
judge where you are. I mean, that's that's always passively there, like
okay, I know it's I knowit's in the peripheral. But where I've
where I've found my best groove iswhen I is when I challenge myself and
call me the call myself the Pword, like are you gonna do this?
Like I bet I have bets againstmyself. I bet you can't do
that, Like, okay, Ibet you know nine we were hoping that

(11:43):
you were I would have gotten onetoo, that is uh, yeah,
that was the one laps I hadwhere I just you know, I just
you know, I did said likeI'll screw it. I'm good, that's
good, and yeah he leave themalone. Hey, Then question for you,
and I promise I'll be but uhagain, the book was called The
Cost of These Dreams. The writeris right, Thompson. This is how

(12:07):
much I liked this. Yesterday Iwas I was hiking and I almost took
a picture and sent it to DanBurrera to make sure that he had read
this book. And then I realizedhe would delete the tweet as soon as
he got or they email as soonas he got it. Just send it
to the bradshaw On Brian Camfe texton. Then he'll read it. I'm
sure he already has and I'm surehe already probably he probably knows right Thompson,
the author. But it's so good. But Ben, is there someone

(12:28):
like are you close to anyone whowas mega famous and mega wealthy? Like
would you say, would that describeBrett Favre? Would that describe like Troykman?
Or are you close to somebody likethat? I have a reason to
ask close. No, No,I'm not close with them. No,
because because I believe there's a certainlevel of fame slash money, and I

(12:48):
think the two come at the togetherat the same time. With Michael Jordan,
he seems to be intolerable and andand tortured as well. And I
wonder if you cease to have theability to be a regular person once you
attain some level of fame and wealth. I think so, I mean,

(13:13):
I think it's the same in everyindustry. I don't think Steve Jobs is
an easy person to be around.It's it's like historically known that he was
an a hole, you know,because he was so driven and so smart
and had such a high expectation forhim himself and others around him that you
couldn't even be around. Like peopleavoided being around him, right right,
Like like Michael demands a level ofuh what's the word uh when when people

(13:39):
cater to you and when they likeloyalty, He demands a level of loyalty
that is almost maniacal. Like ifhe sees anybody who works for him wearing
anything other than Nike, he willdemand they give it to him and cut
it up because he demands that theywear all Nike, or he did anyway,
you know what I mean, Wellhim then yes, yeah, but

(14:01):
not even just that, Like thereare people like just in his fhear like
it's yeah, exactly, it justanything they they act, For instance,
like he has his own plane,obviously a couple of them. I'm sure
if anybody is late when he's readyto leave, the plane leaves, whether
anybody's there, and everybody's there ornot. It's like, I'm a nichael

(14:22):
egotists egotism. It's just it's extremenarcissism. But everybody puts up with it,
so you don't have to change.Yeah, exactly, have all And
I don't know if you guys talkedabout this. I'm sorry, but did
have any of you seen the entirethe entire Tom Brady roast. Yes,
fantastic. So there's a bit hawkto your point where uh, the Bert

(14:43):
Kreischer and then Tom Seguru basically callout Brady for exactly this. Now they
compare him with some very terrible people, but they said exactly what you said,
Ben. We're like, he issuch a psychosis because he's the same
way like if we're not if therap isn't great, we're doing it again
and again and again, and likehe just counts on everybody to be perfect.

(15:03):
And they basically call him out forwhat we've been talking about it.
He just has he's just so theybasically call him like he's like a serial
killer, like he has that mentality. It's it's very interesting to what you're
talking about. Well, I thinkin a lot of ways, and Hawk
I think that you know the phrasebetter than me. But like very successful
people have no friends, like theyare very lonely, Like success is very

(15:26):
lonely a because I think it's hardto find. You want to find like
minded people, and it's hard tofind like minded people when you are the
one percent of the one percent.I think the other part of that is
that you're intolerable to be around andnobody wants to truly be in your But
isn't that also because everybody wants somethingfrom you, not necessarily saying money or

(15:50):
anything else. They just want to. They want to, and so that
you just got to be protected.You have to callous yourself so that way,
and you probably hate doing it becausethere definitely was a level We're all
sudden, okay, you hit thiskind of celebrity and all of a sudden
you had to get rid of somepeople in your life because like I just

(16:11):
write this iss and all that stuff. Yes, I think that that there
is like a shedding that happens throughoutlike in the in the course of time,
and you can't go anywhere and makenew friends because everywhere you go everyone
recognizes you. And so that's whyyou come off as a complete, you
know, a hole. I mean, the thing is like, okay,
let's take Tom Brady, because wejust talked about him. Think of tom

(16:33):
Brady's world, Like he's already he'salready like this super obsessive, compulsive guy
to begin with, right, andhe's ultimately selfish and narcisstic, nossistic in
a professional way, like that's whatmakes you great. Like most most you
know, high end people are veryselfish because it has to be about them
and their success to get where theywant to go. So that's already and

(16:56):
I'm sure his ex wife is thesame way, Like she didn't become who
she is by all always thinking aboutother people, Like she had to put
herself first with everything, her diet, her fitness or this or that,
like it was all about her atsome point in time. It's like you
only want to associate with people likethat. So like for Tom Brady,
he can only probably be friends withPeyton Manning. Uh. You know,

(17:18):
I don't know high end actors,you know, other athletes, but if
they're all off doing their selfish things. You don't have time to be really
friends. You might trade a textevery once in a while, that's because
you're busy being great. Yeah,you're busy being great. I mean you
know what I'm saying. It doesn'tcome even if you're the best in the
world. You have to work,right and if you're so dedicated to it
and you want to continue to bethe best, you got to be busy

(17:40):
being great exactly. Like the likethe was it the YouTube thing that that
Brady did where he kind of basicallydid a documentary about himself. I guess
got bits and pieces of that,but like his whole day is centered around
himself. Yeah, the whole day. And that's his normal body and that's
his normal right. He's like,why would I change this? Is?
This is why I've gotten seven SuperBowl rings, Like, because this is
what it takes to be great.And for a lot of people when they

(18:03):
see that, they're like, Idon't have the capacity to be to be
that type of person. The sadpart is is that that is the only
way in some people's minds that theycan find happiness, and then they get
trapped in it and they are miserable. Well, if somebody mentioned the word
the letters OCD listen. I've sufferedfrom that my whole life, and in
a lot of ways, it's mysuperpower. It's the only reason I've had

(18:26):
any kind of success. Yeah,you know, I think that's sort of
the same for a lot of people. You are so one track minded that
nothing else can exist in your world. How about the opposite, by the
way, just since a shout outin case he's listening, how about Mark
Parrish. Parish is one of themost competitive guys I've ever met. But
he's the most gracious competitive person,right, Like, he wants to play
you in everything, and he wantsto win in everything. But he's never

(18:48):
a sore loser, never an ahole about it, never has any ego
about it. But he's like,let's let's play this, let's play that,
let's do you know, it's probablygoing to win seat of initials.
But but he's admitted a thousand timesover he just loves to compete, doesn't
matter what it is. Let's doit, bags, darts, pool,

(19:08):
let's go. And he's good atthat. He does it good naturedly.
And that's the problem, because Imean, you don't have to be on
Michael Jordan's level to have that personalityruin the whole nothing. I know,
people, I got somebody actually justtalked about that Michael Jordan's story yesterday,
because we were talking about a buddywho almost got kicked out of a Men's

(19:32):
League Sunday game for for ratting,you know, yelling at the officials.
And he's one of those guys thatjust can't turn it off ever and has
ruined video games and has ruined allsorts of stuff because he's got that sauce.
So it's it's funny, like youhear Michael Jordan here yesterday, these
big guys, these famous guys,But I mean, it happens on every
level. You know, You're right, You're right, Zacho. Yeah,

(19:53):
I don't know that at conversation.It's it's a really interesting dynamic to like
dive into like stuff that I'm superfascinated in. But like you brought up
a really good point, Hawk,and this is why I think, you
know, in a broad sense,you think that your greatest weakness is a
weakness and actually could be your greateststrength. Yeah, and you know,

(20:15):
Joe Rogan's talked about this himself abouthimself. He's the most successful podcaster in
the world, and he's got allthese you know, he's super successful.
He was always told his add inall that stuff was a detriment and like
he should take pills for that andhe should do this, and he's like,
no, this is actually my greatestsuperpower. I just have yet to
figure out a path to make itwork now. I've yet to find a

(20:38):
way to be happy with it.Like I'm i the OCD may be the
superpower to get you to your success, but can you be happy even when
you're successful? That's the question.I don't, that's the question. By
the way, it's fascinating that youguys are using the word superpower because as
my daughter just got diagnosed about ayear ago with ADHD, and that's the
that's the word that the therapist usedfor eighty eighth ADHD. Now with kids,

(21:00):
basically, let's make it a superpower, not a you know, an
excuse for the rest of your lifeto not succeed. Let's flip it.
So it's funny that you guys areactually using that word because that's what the
therapists are saying. But look atthat, I know we're going to break
here. But look at look atthe most successful people in the history of
art, music, sports, whatever. They weren't normal, right, They're

(21:25):
not normal people. Yeah. No, I think you have to sacrifice part
of your brain, the normal partof your brain, to access that level
of prowess and whatever you do.But but but from a clinical standpoint,
somebody would have told Michaelangelo that youhave ADHD, you have eight like,
you can't focus on one. Youcan't do this, you can't do like

(21:45):
your brain doesn't work like other people. Well, who cares? Well?
Right, not to keep making thisabout us, But look at the fans
staff, Yeah, I mean whatwhat none of us are normal? Yeah,
been closed. We're freaking weirdos.He's got a circus penish Well and
again that is not a compliment.Go figure out how hard we go commercial

(22:08):
for you. The rest of theway. One more segment with Ben Leeber
and Michael J. Mussman. Afterthis on the band a Patrick more So,

(22:32):
final segment with Well, final segmentperiod and final segment Ben Laber and
by the way, I know Zachgoes back there. We are you can
I mean you can see us.We are visually Uh unappealing, but we're
we're there at kV com slash watch. I thinks our friends of Quantum Fiber.
Then we all are hi, guys. Hey there's Ben. Hey Daddy.
I always forget that we have thisthing at eight o'clock. Yeah,

(22:56):
hey Ben, and I gotta sitnext to Ben. Non of Ben.
Yeah, was a J. Smithyour general manager? He passed away seventy
five, So he's the player thatdrafted you. No, no, that
was a that's that. That's alsoJohn Butler. Yeah, that's also kind
of a sad story. So JohnButler comes over from the Buffalo Bills I

(23:18):
think the year before. Actually,no, I take it back that year,
and he passed away right after thedraft. No kidding, yep,
So he he passes away right afterright after he drafts me in that whole
draft class. And then A J. Smith comes in and was our GM
and you know, not the mostlikable guy. His approach to being a

(23:42):
GM was we are we are justcogs in the wheel, and you know,
there's no personal interaction, there's noemotional connection. And some gms feel
like that that's the best way togo because they can make they can make
moves without having the emotional component toit. He was a very just like
stern dude, I guess, Iguess behind the scenes much different. But

(24:04):
to us as players, like notthe warm, fuzzy guy that you'd want
to be around. I'm not yourfriend. I'm not your friend. I'm
your boss, and and uh,I just want you to know that,
you know I can cut you basicallyany day, you know, yes,
so yeah, exactly, so unfortunately, so yeah, unfortunately he passed away.

(24:26):
So I think he had a sevenyear battle with prostate cancer. That
right, Yeah, that's tough.Yeah, all right, okay, goodness,
yeah, all right, well done. I'm sorry that. Now it's
time for Headline's brought to you byyour friends at Wolf River Electric. If
you want to get turned on,go solar with Wolves Electric. You guys

(24:48):
can go solar. Thank you.The Wolves lost to the Denver now gets
one fifteen seven. That series istitled to the home team has lost all
four games. I'm trying to you. Denver shot fifty seven percent from the
floor, h forty four point eightpercent from three. They went on a
twenty six to four run in thefirst half. That felt like it was

(25:11):
a ninety to four run. Iwish I had this SoundBite of Jim Pete
complaining about in like twenty seconds theyscored eight points or something. Yeah,
that was the end of the firsthalf. That unbelievable. With about five
seconds ago, they got a stealand a fast break dunk, and then
Nikhila Alexander Walker tried to chuck atthe half court to try to get the
Wolves a shot from a half courtwith a second and a half to go,

(25:33):
but instead Jamal Murray picks it offand without taking a dribble. I
actually thought he traveled in real time, but on the replay it looks like
he just took the two steps andthen chucked up a half court and didn't
hit the rim. That was sauceand then just NBA making it the fixes
in right, sauce, the fixesin, and then he just scared down.
Kevin Harlock, he sure did?I actually ask you that question because

(25:55):
I thought he traveled too, don'tyou He didn't dribble right, No,
I thought you had. I thoughtyou get two steps continuation after you coming
off of dribble. You No,I just grab the I'm pretty sure you
can just take two steps. Ithink it's up to four now I think
it's in the NBA. I thinkit is about it. Maybe more than
that. I think you can justrun, but no real real question,
like if you if somebody passes tothe ball on the perimeter at the three

(26:18):
point line, you can take twosteps before dribbling. Yeah, like what
Absolutely, it's like playing NERF basketballat your house. You don't have to
dribble, no, just run.But in real time I thought it was
more than two, but the replaylooked like it was just two steps.
I thought you just started running.For a second, I'm like, you
can't. Let's challenge this, andthen they show the root like, oh
god, dang it, that's aperfect shot. And he freaking knew it

(26:41):
the second he let it go.You could he started posing this well,
he knew it was online. Soit's just like if this is the right
distance, this is lined up perfectly, and he just freaking swished it.
Yeah. Man, I can't liethat shot with him and the camera shot
of him and Kevin Harlan's togather thatwas pretty cool. That is pretty cool.

(27:03):
opportunity to draft, and he don't. Don't now listen, always take a
player from what college Kentucky? Lastweek? When you're like, and he
didn't get suspended his punishments playing theWolves on Friday, I'm like, I
don't want Jamal Murray to play onFriday. But it also was good for
the league to give him four daysoff so we could rest his leg.
That looks a little he looks muchhe on Friday. Yes. Also,

(27:27):
it's entertainment. Always remember that it'sthe National Basketball Entertainment League. Okay,

burger. If we're basically chicken nuggetsin the shape of fries. Now they're
adding mozzarella fries, which is monzerellasticks shaped like fries. What they already

(27:53):

finger, more like a French frip. Yes, so basically thin mozzarella sticks,
just called mozzarella fingers or something mozzrellafries. Who knows, my god?
Yeah, So there you go,Burger King whales, right, hogs

New Hampshire is facing several charges afterhe tipped over a portable toilet. I
did that. Don't say it.Don't say it. It gets worse,

(30:03):

a woman in there, her fouryear old child. The woman and her
daughter were not seriously hurt, butthey were traumatized and covered in feces.

Gigotties are awful. Played a gigon July fifth in Washington, d C.
The day after July fourth, thatyou can imagine, and all the
porta potties were yet to be clean. I've seen terrible things, these eyes,
terrible, terrible things. And theone thing that I will never forget
is opening one door. And myapologies to anybody eating breakfast, but I

(31:07):
have to say it, Corey,you remember what I'm gonna say. I
opened the door, the it wasfilmed, it was filled to the rim
with brim goo, and there wasa plate of I remember shrimp tales.
So somebody had sat in the portapotty eating shrimp. And for some reason,

(31:30):
that's the worst thing I've ever seen. Two birds, one stone,
whatever. I'll never forget it eatingshrimp while sitting on a portage. And
do you think that person was drunkor high or just ready to party?
Because do you do? You justlose track of time and space if you're
eating shrimp in a porta potty howdo you even get shrimp to a festival?

(31:53):
I mean, I don't know,you bring it yourself. I had
to get it through security. They'renot selling shrimp at a festival, are

I mean, let me tell youthe biffy at the right time saves

(32:14):
your life. You know what Imean? I guess s t P.
Yeah. Anyway, I love thisheadline. This one makes me laughing.
Man in Florida stole a boat andtook it for a joy ride last Tuesday.
Here's the fun part. He waswearing only his underwear and an ankle
monitor, and witnesses say it wasvery clear that he had quote very little

(32:36):
boating knowledge. I'm sailing underwear,ankle monitor in very little boating knowledge.
He stole a boat. I lovethe idea of though. Yeah, you
know they're normally associated with police,chass and rocks. Yeah right, well
that's true, true, yeah,but a joy ride just sounds like fun,
Like a cake walk after a joyride would be the best day at

(32:58):
good point. Yeah. A manin Canada attacked a police officer with a
block of cheese. The cop didnot require medical attention, and it's unclear
what type of cheese was used inthe assaults. Got to be a cheese
wheel. It couldn't be Swiss.All those holes. A guy in Texas

(33:22):
named Al We're gonna go with BLASHKEIyeah, I know. Al reclaimed the
record for oldest skydiver on record?How old was texasman? Al Blashki?
Now I remember a guy doing itat like at one hundred, so George
and seven George H. Bush waswhat ninety four? Some of that yet

(33:44):
one hundred and three? One two, I'll say one, oh oh.
You guys all danced right around it. He originally broke the record at one
hundred and three, but then aSwedish woman beat it, so he recently
got it back at age one ohsix, the oldest person to ever skydi
have on record? One right right? If I'm don't even pack the shoot,

(34:08):
just just let me fly out.You just grabbed the guy's hand before
he pulled the suit, like please, all your hand was up. I
was going to say the lady thatbroke that record would Hawk. Yeah,
she's Swedish. She was probably inthe Swedish Bikini team adventurous. Yeah,
you guys remember growing up here inabout the Swedish bikini team, right,
that was like a thing. Werethey the only country that had this team?

(34:30):
And where were these competitions? Andwhy do those competitions not still exist?
That's a great point. All thosepoints were good Swedish bikini team.
Were they the only ones Swedish?I've never heard of? Like the right,
Well, they're not even Swedish.What what? The Swedish Bikini Team
was a group of American female modelswho appeared in then advertising campaign for Old

(34:52):
Milwaukee beer. So they were allAmericans. They were Americans. They were
playing with American stereotype of Scandinavian womenbeing blonde and having big breasths. So
it's just a bunch of girls fromWisconsin. Yeah, and in the ad
they are all wearing the exact samewig got the whales fest. The Social

(35:22):
Social Security Administration has released the annuallist of the most popular baby names in
the United States, and we're gettinga lot of repeats. Names in the
last handful of years are just notchanging at a very strong pace. It's
kind of the same year after yearafter year. Are we still going with
the after years ever made it inthere? Like, for example, only

(35:45):
only one of the ten boys namesis new. That's how much these are
ones are locked in. Here's yourtop ten boys' names from ten to one.
William is ten, then Lucas,Henry, Theodore, Matteo, Elijah,
James, Oliver, Noah. Andthis one just keeps dominating. The

(36:06):
number one boy's name again, Liam, Liam Liam? Yep, Liam,
ever met? Check us out?Liam has topped the boys list now for
seven straight years. Seven you're rightnow, must I don't know, Liam.
No one's ever said, oh andthis is my son Liam number one.
Maybe some kids, but I meanas an adult. Do I know

(36:28):
any adult Liams? I know alot of I know a lot of people
that have named their kid Elijah,but not not any Liam. Bill Geran's
son is Liam. Yeah, heworks up in the press box from time
to them. Here you go,you Neil one, maybe not literally.
Top ten girls' names from ten toone, Uh, Luna is ten,

(36:49):
Luna, then Brilliant Evelyn, Ava, Isabella, Mia, Sophia, Amelia,
Charlotte, Emma, and yet againOlivia. They just Olivia and Liam
every year. Isn't that weird andand well, okay, I'm wondering if
if I'm the same as you guys. When you were mentioning those names down

(37:12):
the list, I was basing thosenames on anybody I've known what those names.
One of those names, I willsay, who one of those names
on that list? I thought tomyself, because of one person who ruined
the name for me. Oh yeah, like naming your own kids, You're
like, Nope, can't do that. Because I knew a kid and he
was a booger eater, and no, you can't do it. He had

(37:32):
one of those two. His namewas meets us Paul different, one different,
different. How many kids that grewup in Minnetonka won't name their kid
Paul because they had to tell theirwives I knew a booger eater named Paul,
I can't name my son PAULA.There's a lot of great Paul's.
Paul is a Bible name, whichyou know, of course, one hundred

(37:54):
percent very aware. Yeah, Idon't know. I like the name Paul.
Paul's a good, easy name.I believe in the Bible, the
verse is something like that shall notpick your nose, And Paul was like
screw this sal shall be heavy,can I Yeah, yes, that shall
be fifty bucks. The Paul kideats it. You know, yeah,

(38:14):
I'm shocked and remade that twenty bucks, says the labor that's so good.
Can I make an observation that onlya handful of people in the world are
probably going to recognize? And they'reall my age? You know what the
name of the two sisters in heartare? Do you know what their first
names are? No? Ann andNancy? Oh? Yeah, will right

(38:37):
right? Every time I hear themor see them anywhere, I always think
the same thing. This one shouldhave been Ann and this one should have
been Nancy. They have the wrongnames. Oh it doesn't fit, It
doesn't fit. Yeah, okay,Nancy should have been the dark haired one
and Ann should have been the blondehair one. But they're switched. And
I don't know why you think thatin my head, but that's how it
seems. But let's go let's goback a month or two. You remember

(39:00):
when we had the scholar brothers inhere. Sure they told that story about
possibly being switched and then the mothernot knowing which one truly was Randy and
which one was Jason, And theyspent most of their lives, not one
hundred percent sure they were attached tothe right name, and it shouldn't matter.

(39:22):
Right one's Jason, one's Randy.Who cares which one is which?
But if you're always like, well, am I supposed to be Randy?
You're still you. But the name, I don't know, it does change
the way people think about you acttowards you. You might think, well,
I kind of want to be theIt's a weird thing that a name
does. To your point, whydoes Nancy look like Ann and Ann look

(39:45):
like Nancy. There's no reason inmy brain. That's how it works.
And again, how many everybody withkids here understands this. When you are
trying to come up with the nameof your kid, you're like, oh,
I could be this, this,this, this, this, the
second that kid's born, the onlyone that makes sense to you is the
one that you named it. Right. If you go back and you're like,
oh, man, I'm glad itI didn't name it this because it
doesn't look anything like that. Well, yeah, that's because you chose the

(40:06):
other one. If you had namedit Paul, after that booger eater,
your kid would be a Paul.Yeah. But you named it Liam because
Liam never freaking eats boogers. Williameats book. Remember I told you when
I went to the mental health placein Canada that we all had to use
the childhood nicknames. Yeah, wellmy childhood nickname was just Chris. Right.
I haven't been called Chris by anyof you guys in most of my

(40:29):
life almost. No, I don'tthink I've ever called you right when I
am When when people were calling meChris, it had that effect on me.
It made me feel like I wasa little kid again. Weird.
Yeah, yeah, because nobody everybodycalls me hawk. Everybody calls me a
different person for me, like Mikey. No one ever calls me that.
Every once in a while will bemy you know, my brother or somebody

(40:50):
else will say it, and I'mjust like, oh, like set you
back just a moment, right,yeah. And of course nobody in my
family calls me muss, so nobodyyour family calls you this all. Let's
go even darker. You've always saidforever Hawk, since you had a twin
that died during uh during the beforebefore birth, that like, you know,

(41:15):
what if you were supposed to bethat person's name, and that person
was supposed to be Chris, Like, your name would have been different,
you know how different? When you'relike when, of course, the answer
is, it would have been infinitelydifferent. You wouldn't be sitting here if
if if he had been born right, that was zero percent. I mean,
it's just unbelievable. But maybe youwouldn't have been Chris. You don't
know. I guess you were.I guess whoever gets out first gets named

(41:37):
Chris right raised to the finish line. All you understand that what the finish
line is? I understand that.Did your parents ever tell you what your
name would have been if you wereborn a girl? Yes, because my
sister was born a year after me, I would have been Courtney if which
is her name? I would havebeen Courtney if I was a girl.

(41:58):
Crystal. Corey and Courtney are bothin the eighties and nineties. We're both
ambiguous names. You could have beeneither way. I went to high school
with the Courtney Crystal. Oh mygod, Crystal, Oh Crystal Halberson.
That would have been changed your nameand his phone to Crystal. That have
been great name, Crystal, Crystal, Crystal. He think I told you

(42:21):
about how a girl changed the name. You would have been real loose,
Crystal. You know you would havebeen a girl. No, I was,
No, they knew I was goingto be a boy before they came
up to the name. I wasgoing to be Yeah, David. David
was going to be Jill. Yeah, Dave looks like yeah, which do

(42:44):
whatever you want. Crystal Halberson,Crystal Helerson, as Hawk said, is
loose. Oh yeah, oh yeah. She also would have been absolutely asked
her and her and Crystal Hockey wouldhave started a fire between their lives.
Crystal Hockey, Crystal Halvers, Imean, Crystal PEPSI just three epic failures.

(43:07):
Jeez. Oh, they just aretrapped. They're gonna need some reconstruction.
They don't have they don't have fingerprints. Hey, the Wolves lost nine
No, no, no, I'mtalking about it next. We tried to
avoid it because it sucked. Moss. Thanks for your time, man,
absolutely love you guys. We're backtomorrow, five thirty to nine. See
