(25:17):
you get seated. I gotta goprep nine to noon. Cheers, gentlemen,
sponsor, I wasn't paying attention towe get the sponsored. Pay care
of that. Hold on, Let'stake seventh at over the Avenue. Yeah,
I got him the right head.Huge puffs in your car always Yeah,
pressure time, you can feel it. Nordo was sponsored by Seventh Avenue
(25:37):
Pizza. Going on now all SeventhAvenue Pizza is buy one, get one
at Coburn's cash Wise and market Placefood stores and since Nordo one, tag
him and Seventh Avenue Pizza now throughSunday for a chance to win one hundred
dollars towards restocking your freezer with SeventhAvenue Pizza. Anybody know what Nordo's Twitter
handle is I think it's at MadProducer, at Mad Producer, once a
(25:57):
tag, at Mad Producer on atSeventh Avenue Pizza now through Sunday for a
chance to win one hundred dollars.I know they've said some rigged things before
here on this show, and especiallywith initials, But the fact that you
have Nordo doing all of the Vikingsfan line basically this year, I feel
like you kind of just you know, softballed him. Oh, I mean
(26:22):
I have a question as well.My attorney and I have is deferring.
So when you looked it up,what is the difference between credit line and
credit limit? Because the limit isa credit line, is here's your establishing
a credit line. If it's thirtythousand dollars whatever it might be from a
card. Is that the same asa credit limit for a card for sure,
for specifically based on your income andexpenses. But like a credit line
(26:45):
is the place is going to barrowyou the money like a castino. Okay,
if you just look at the firstline of even Lending Trees definition,
it says a personal line of creditis a type of financing that allows you
to withdraw funds is needed up toa predeterm limits. So it's the line
is the account, The limit isthe MA could give me. That's okay.
(27:06):
Everybody's tweeting Christmas lights, Yeah,these are the area's fantastic. Just
trolling you. Yeah, one,you can't troll you for Christmas lights.
You had it Max first. You'regonna pay for that cleaning lady next month.
Really upset. It'd be funny ifshe shooker had at you like really
you're like wow, good starts anentertaining and don't forget. Ultimately, all
(27:36):
of the blame falls on Muss.He picked pack number six, the faults
got one though he got through,Yes, exactly, go to bed tonight
knowing that if he had picked oneof the other eight, you would have
won. It's Muss's faulty, damnright. Yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah,
I don't know how I'm going tosleep to night. It's over.
So it is something about this game, though, isn't it. I mean
(27:56):
last year you made it to thefinals and almost won the whole thing.
In this year you're the Vikings.Yeah, oh my god, one and
done. Good start though, allright, gave it hell you did?
You gave her hell? By times? Well, so can we look at
next week's matchups? Please, Zecho, if you're watching on kfan dot com
slice watch, could you flash thatup on the screen so we can let
everybody know who's up next Friday.There you go, oh the champ Oh
(28:18):
next week. A J. MontSer versus the eighteen seed, Mike Grimm
versus the twenty seventh seed, BrianOak versus the twenty eighth seed, Tatum
Everett versus the forty fifth seed KevinGorg. All Right, A J.
Grimm, Oak, Everett Gorg Sotune in anyway, last time Grimm Itt
(28:41):
Aoth played against each other, theyboth were fantastic right the first half of
the game. Grimm the back halfof the game. We need some of
that magic against AJ. Max hadit for the first half of the game
last year against AJA, then lostit in the second half. It's hard
to beat AJ over a smoke breakin the middle of it. So that
way you can like regret. Ithink he takes mental smoke breaks in between
(29:02):
every item that's right, hit meyou and gum like crazy over here.
And by the way, a Jpoints out, Noorda was down three to
nothing at one point. It reallywas unexpected to. I said it off,
Mike. I don't have you heard, but I honestly thought, Chris,
you were going to run away withthis thing. Look like I thought
it was gone. I never lookat it that way because I know a
lot of times you can just runinto a mental block, and especially when
it started off as cl I waslike, it's not going to be Corse
(29:26):
lights, gonna be Cores light,not gonna be Cores light. So I
did a good job focusing on otherthings, but just some of the stuff
wasn't clicking. The you know,Christmas lights took too long. Cleaning lady
didn't even pop the d Yeah,credit credit line and credit when I questioned
it and gave it away already thatwhen you were like you had said no
(29:48):
that it was like, okay,maybe it could be something else. But
then we were like, oh,then we knew it was close. He
trying to man. It was smart. I understand the doubt though, because
I knew I would have started toread that. UM sure that finition as
well. I can take that homeand play program password the shanth room.
By the way at one thirty,Chris, car we'll be joining us.
You can't take program password home.You can take versions for into a board
(30:11):
game inertials game dot com and Idon't have the trademark, do not.
I think somebody else stakes. Itwas a lot of fun. Thanks Rosie.
You bet bye Roser. By theway, twenty five Rosie Zacho's got
something for you. But you guys, one hundred and sixteen people in the
bracket challenge picked Nardo to win.Uh that out of how many? What
(30:32):
was the total number? Um,I'll get that in a moment. By
the way, zero people picked himto win. Oh wow, tournament,
the whole tournament, but at leastone win, all right, I think
that's right. I think he justshowed he could do it. Yeah,
gotta get hot, good fern.That was really something. That's a fun
game to listen to. And I'mgonna tell you, guys, I'm just
gonna be out. I would havebeen terrible today. Terrible today. I
(30:55):
think I got one. Really Yeah, Saucy, are you buy a mic
were somewhere anymore? Yeah? Howwould you have done today? Oh?
Okay, that list that would havebeen tough for me too. Yeah.
Yeah, they were tough. It'stough, guys, Yeah, tough guy.
Yeah, because there's no names,right, Yeah, that his names
property. So I'm glad that listwas gone always. And this is the
(31:17):
second year in a row that Igot to pick stupid and I went in
number six again, yeah and uhand each time. Now as soon as
you mentioned the initials, I'm like, oh, I'm screwed. I couldn't
think of one proper name either,like the famous actor and actor with a
C L right, chlor as well, that's a good right, right right,
(31:45):
A couple of them, Rosie.We have our first elimination of the
twenty twenty four two Welcome Back Audraor election. I think it's gonna be
about eight people cooks out just theway this go, I give my best
shot. This is my favorite groupthough, to play with. Sarahs Yes,
(32:07):
Sarah, She's tremendous. She makesme heave cry. Does you got
h O f the Rosie over here? I mean, there's no way I
cannot cheer for Crease. I lovethe dude. Nordo is the king of
barbecue and that guy. I loveit. I love it how he guessed
and then got all up in theirfaces. Absolutely, the point is a
(32:31):
point. That point is a pointstill counts, baby, all right,
thanks, Fellows, so super cool. That was great. Man. The
pressure, yeah, the pressure istough. I am not looking forward to
my matchup. I do think nextweek's matchup is we'll see. I'm excited

Next he might get all twelve ofthem. Yeah, that would be
something. Yeah, but okay,grim grim sneaky good, oaks sneaky good.
And let's not discredit what Tatum did. She's only played once and got
four, that's true, and theywere legits. It's it was initials.

No Alexis did oh yeah yeah,but very well, she's only played
once. Rosie and my dad aregonna go see if the booze open.
Yeah yeah, they got table.I know where they can go, Yeah,
Sniffer's Row. They have a breakfastbuffet there. Yeah. I thought
Rosie was gonna guess the word classfor c for every guess Yeah, class
(33:37):
action Yeah yeah he said class lawsuit. But it's still wanted to get one.
That's all he wanted, Like wherehe was headed. But also,
like we've been saying since he's outof the room for like the last three
years, he doesn't care about anyof this at all. He's the least
likely to be affected by getting kickedout of next year's there. He's got
a fiance, he's gonna go ona nine month honeymoon. He almost forgot
(34:00):
who was supposed to show up today. I'm time. We all heard it
yesterday on the show. If wehadn't said it yesterday in front of his
face, he would have forgot.And then he's definitely on a nexious tournament.
If you're doing level on it andskipping it, man, that's fine.
