got four out of the first fiveon that game, and no one came
to my rescue. But I'm gonnabe honest, knowing all of you people

I'm more than happy to get mynose rebbed in it by mister Grimm.
And look today, let's all bea realistic today. It's all of you
versus Agent. Yes, you can'tbe bitter if Grim wins. No,

(15:48):
I'm just saying just so you know. When I read clue six, you
don't ring in. You don't getto say gorgon at so you just get
five seconds. Name have to sayyour name five seconds after clue six.
You guys, this good guy.This is clue five. Now hang on,

on, all right. Here's numberseven of clue number one. This features
(16:56):
input. Clue number two often helpsmake informed decisions. Clue number three these
can validate. Clue number four offersadditional perspective. AJ aj second opinion.
(17:30):
AJ takes the lead. Max gavehim a scaring round one last year,
but AJ pulled away so far tightStill we're a little over halfway through the
game. AJ has a one pointlead. AJ has three, Oak has
two, Grimm has one. Tatumand Gorgy have five items to goure mathematically
out of winning you but obviously youhave five opportunities to not get rosen.
(17:57):

between Oak and Tatum, Clue numberfour. This involves a user oh.
Clue number five usually executed with atouch or a click. Oak, Oak
(19:37):
sign out, Till sign out.All right, So here's the old situation.
There are four items to go gorgonTatum. You still need to score
Grim. You're two back. Wehave a tie at the top, though
(19:59):
cities eighty seven uniquely twin cities pointone ninety seven point one. Let's not
forget the point one and a GMNseer the goal on the ropes a little
bit. With four to go,here's number nine of s O. Clue
number one commonly appear within set timeframes. Clue number two. These are
(20:22):
offered. Clue number three involves riskGrim Grim stock offering and we're gonna need
an instant replay there. First ofall, hang out before well, Zack's
(20:45):
looking up. Who was Next?Man? This is the second one in
a week we've had it. Yeah, I'm thrown in an oak on the
top of that. In case everybodyas I don't think that's the same thing,
and you guys are getting controversial twoweeks in a row. Yeah,
I don't think. Maybe if thegame was a little better just dying that
s wouldn't have Yeah, great point. Okay, the radio version is vastly
(21:07):
inferior to the board game version,which is an initials game. There you
go, there you go. Idon't think it's the same thing. I'm
glad that came up again. Reallyreally don't. I don't think it is.
Zach. Do you have the insurreplay if who was Next? I'm
(21:27):
pretty sure it was that. I'mpretty sure. I'm sure. Yeah,
I know he's got it and goback. Can we turn that up?
How do we turn that up?To do it one more time? Zach?
I think a j is during thebuzzer AJ like, I remember what
(21:52):
he said, what stock option?That is the correct fast stock option?
Or option? Is the right answer? Oh that was close. That was
a big one. Yep. Stockoffering is different, right, Yeah,
it's not the same thing. Allright. AJ takes the lead. With
three to go, Tatum and gorgyou're mathematically eliminated from winning. Now the
(22:14):
pressure's on just getting one item.I think AJ would love if you did
it helps him. You'd be great. Use this one, Grim, you
need all three to force a tiebreaker. Oak. You're just one back with
three to go, so it's reallydown to Aj, Grim and Oak.
Here's number ten of clue number one, commonly connected to Lyne Clue number two.
(22:41):
One of the words is an animalOak, Oak for the tie snake
Oil. That's rights, we havea time, Brian Oak. Oak.

radar? Have you picked it?I just picked the number. We're on
number eleven. Aj and Oak tiedat the top with four a piece.
Here is number eleven, a vessel. Clue number one involves planning and coordination.

(24:36):
We're down to Grim AJ and TatumClue number six. Undercover agents use
these to catch people involved in illegalactivities. AJ for the lead sting operation.
That's tough, Oaks. Guess isso good? Just not right,
(24:56):
It's so right away. I knowstakeout is obviously you monitor people, but
staying out for the board for mewith special but man, is that that's
what I was trying to figure out. Assists every every clue fits staked down,
although I think some stakeout might beone word special special ops for sure.
(25:18):
Oh fantastic guess though, Holy cow, Well I get guess, except
it was wrong. So here's thedeal. Somebody's getting rose into. Only
one of you is gonna get onthe board. Tatum and Gorg, you
need number twelve to get into nextyear's tournament. Oak you more importantly,
OK, you need this to tie? All right, lot on the lot

It was so close one board.I'm ready, I'm restaurant ready. Let's
go number twelve. Oak going forthe tie. Gorgon tay, I'm trying
to get into next year's tournament.Anybody else but to Oka and aj is
(26:03):
the winner and moving on to roundtwo. Here's number twelve. Clue Number

(26:23):
aj On to run well, thankyou for Oh my god. I was
like, well that's going to besomehow holy okay, gave him a hell
of a run. Yeah, lookgreat. The fact that I can even
keep vague pace, It's like,who's saying, Bolt is running ahead and
(26:44):
you're like, I'm only like fivebody lengths behind him. Man, I'll
live with that. I am notembarrassed about my performance at all. It
would have been nice to unseat thegoat, but the goats. The reason
are the goats a goat for areason? He had me taken. Oh
yeah, you get to that whatwas one point, Well, it came
out a tide, and then atthe tiebreaker it's three clues. They're a
little easier to anybody's game, butit truly came down to who rang in
(27:07):
on stock options first. That's howclose Oak was debating you. They're at
least tying the possibly be all rightdancing around. I'm not trying to get
big in front of anybody, becauseI realized the presence I'm in. That
being said, I was so certainI wasn't even gonna make it back to
next year's competition getting four. I'lltake four all day, every day.
(27:29):
Well, okay, the performance you'vejust put on tape has earned something at
least okay. Oh, what I'mgonna give you, Oak is a special

aj is getting a standing ovation.But but Tatum, nicely done. Nice
(28:15):
strategy at the end. Again,you'd tell you to swing right. Everyone
has to swing question. See that'sa tough spot though, so up one
with the final clue everyone else had. I kind of had to wait to
wait. I was thinking that,But of course I'm half thankful. Thank
you Tatum. Yeah, well youknow, at least thanks, thank you
(28:37):
nite an underwhelming second performance, Kajione year from now? Um, are

year ago over to the Good DayCafe. I think right across the freeway
and we do it all the time. Um, you get the Dark Star
Special, which is a basket ofwheat toast to go. I remember those
(28:57):
days with dark No to go.Love it. Listen. The first time
I played this game, it wasan absolute disaster with Super America guessing like
eighteen times I didn't played poorly.Today I feel good about it. I
had the one, but I thoughtI had that one, so I didn't
feel like I was awful. ButI'm still out for next year and I
(29:19):
performed expectations as the forty five.She can A fellow Burnsville guy, I
do love this too. I thinkAlexis Pearson and Andrew Martin were cheering for
at least two people I shut outbecause they think, well, then I'm
back in who says they're guaranteed,they better be planet they're end. All
I know is Alexis as a winner. She won, she has one.
(29:41):
Yeah, played well too. We'llsee, we'll see if they've earned their
way. But now at least twoopenings in the next year's tournament, I
think we're gonna have about one shadowper round five people. We're not the
only two, but I'm I'm veryround to be included with Mark Rosen with
anything the right AJ congratulations, you'removing different your title sweata hell of a

who's ever played this game. Isprobably the greatest thing that's happened to me
in summer twenty twenty three. I'mhappy. I might get a tattoo.
I don't know. I'm going togo buy myself a red ribbon for second
place. Thanks. Is not happy? No, grim No, I'm I'm
(30:25):
not well. I believe PJ.Fleck would say that was an opportunity,
and opportunity doesn't count. Close doesn'tcount, Grimmar. We we almost had
him. Yeah, you guys weredefinitely swinging as a group. He's just
kept ringing it, and that's ringingand ringing. Throw you off if people
(30:45):
come in and start hitting home runsfirst pitch home runs. Fair enough,
group, Thank you, that wasa lot of fun than thanks, guys.
Appreciate the time, Appreciate the contributions. It's a good runs. Is
a tough combo. Isn't tough toughcombos? There goes Brian Oak almost in
victory, back to Citi's ninety almostvictory. I like that. The hard
(31:11):
part for the stock option stock offeringthing is your clues could be both all
of them. Every clue he usedcould have been bo. But I would
imagine that clue five six might geta little more specific. Well, he
gave them and they didn't. No, he didn't get no no because rung
in right. Yeah, yeah,I went with if it says anything about
a company, like I thought yousaid, they involves risk and there's more
(31:36):
risk and for the offering than theoption. Yeah, and I definitely was
aiming for option, and I justdidn't know if it technically was the same
thing. But it really isn't.Knock off is just when the company goes
public rights exactly, an option isfor it to everybody, an option is.
That's why the first clue was abouta specific time frame, right,
is within that window you have toeither accept the option, I almost an
(31:56):
offer option or not. So itis definitely not the same thing. Yeah,
I don't know what those are evenso the operation staying operation pisses me
off too, because I had operationand I could not get you know that
and everyone's get steak out too,right, I mean it felt like every
clue was steak out right. Thatwas amazing. Then for three clues you
can't get that out of your mind, right, christ Just like I think
(32:20):
last week you said you would havenot done well with cl right, I
would you have done. This wouldn'thave done well at all. No,
I wouldn't have competed with those twotough That was a tough one. Yeah,
well yeah, it was two cluesin like I'm I'm still trying to
figure out what starts with? Ohlike that that was. I was like,
oh, yeah, that does startwith. Many times it takes away
names almost, you know, Imean O'Connell or something. Steve oh have
(32:44):
counted. I don't know. ManShack was one of the tiebreakers. And
if I didn't, when it comesout on who number one or get item
number one who too. Yeah,I'll tell you that I thought he had
(33:08):
you did. There were some moments, right, it might be the hardest
round you have. Well we'll see, yeah, we'll see. Wow.
All right, Well that nice job. That's a lot of fun um um.
So everybody's off today down at TCOis a right tatum, that's right
except for me. Yeah, she'swork. I'm working. No, it'll
be good. Yeah, it'll bea nice reast day. Those guys deserve
(33:29):
it. Yeah. Back on Saturday, you guys, they're still practices to
head out too. And then wegot another night practice on Tuesday. Yeah,
and we go to Seattle. Thenwe yeah, packing it up our
bags going to Seattle. Yeah,yeah, yeah, I mean I feel
kind of bad about the whole youknow, nine pm kickoff here? Yi?
Uh preseason game Thursday night, ninepm kickoff, Fox nine. You're
(33:50):
doing fan line? No is it? I know it's a little early,
but are we expecting to see NickMullins for a half? Jarin Hall for
a half? I don't know ifthere's a plans been released yet officially,
especially no offense to Nick Mullins,but I've seen him blaze this solid quarterback
I have never seen. I don'teven know if I've seen a highlight of
Jearon Hall. I think it's interestingbecause when you like, I've talked about
this in the radio recently with meatthoughts. But if you're trying to like
(34:14):
invest in Jared Hall as a player, if you want to see what the
future as a quarterback, you're unsurewith Kirk, you know, the back
half of his career. What isJaron Hall? If he's your guy,
you really need to start seeing morefrom him, and he's not going to
get first team reps. So yeah, it's kind of a dicey situation because
well, if Kirk gets hurt thisyear, it's not going to be Hall
(34:35):
ready to go. I think Ithink they keep three on the roster,
but I've been wrong about a lotof things because will never see the field.
Yeah, I think you're right.I think they have to keep three
because if you put Jared on theyou know, deult steal him. Somebody
will steal him. That's also true. Yeah, I don't know. Should
be fun anyway, That's cool,all right, So Tatum's filming some stuff

I'm more than happy to get mynose rebbed in it by mister Grimm.

input. Clue number two often helpsmake informed decisions. Clue number three these
can validate. Clue number four offersadditional perspective. AJ aj second opinion.
(17:30):
AJ takes the lead. Max gavehim a scaring round one last year,
but AJ pulled away so far tightStill we're a little over halfway through the
game. AJ has a one pointlead. AJ has three, Oak has
two, Grimm has one. Tatumand Gorgy have five items to goure mathematically
out of winning you but obviously youhave five opportunities to not get rosen.
(17:57):
He's not gonna like that, youguys are He's not listening. Cash me

between Oak and Tatum, Clue numberfour. This involves a user oh.
Clue number five usually executed with atouch or a click. Oak, Oak
(19:37):
sign out, Till sign out.All right, So here's the old situation.
There are four items to go gorgonTatum. You still need to score
Grim. You're two back. Wehave a tie at the top, though
(19:59):
cities eighty seven uniquely twin cities pointone ninety seven point one. Let's not
forget the point one and a GMNseer the goal on the ropes a little
bit. With four to go,here's number nine of s O. Clue
number one commonly appear within set timeframes. Clue number two. These are
(20:22):
offered. Clue number three involves riskGrim Grim stock offering and we're gonna need
an instant replay there. First ofall, hang out before well, Zack's
(20:45):
looking up. Who was Next?Man? This is the second one in
a week we've had it. Yeah, I'm thrown in an oak on the
top of that. In case everybodyas I don't think that's the same thing,
and you guys are getting controversial twoweeks in a row. Yeah,
I don't think. Maybe if thegame was a little better just dying that
s wouldn't have Yeah, great point. Okay, the radio version is vastly
(21:07):
inferior to the board game version,which is an initials game. There you
go, there you go. Idon't think it's the same thing. I'm
glad that came up again. Reallyreally don't. I don't think it is.
Zach. Do you have the insurreplay if who was Next? I'm
(21:27):
pretty sure it was that. I'mpretty sure. I'm sure. Yeah,
I know he's got it and goback. Can we turn that up?
How do we turn that up?To do it one more time? Zach?
I think a j is during thebuzzer AJ like, I remember what
(21:52):
he said, what stock option?That is the correct fast stock option?
Or option? Is the right answer? Oh that was close. That was
a big one. Yep. Stockoffering is different, right, Yeah,
it's not the same thing. Allright. AJ takes the lead. With
three to go, Tatum and gorgyou're mathematically eliminated from winning. Now the
(22:14):
pressure's on just getting one item.I think AJ would love if you did
it helps him. You'd be great. Use this one, Grim, you
need all three to force a tiebreaker. Oak. You're just one back with
three to go, so it's reallydown to Aj, Grim and Oak.
Here's number ten of clue number one, commonly connected to Lyne Clue number two.
(22:41):
One of the words is an animalOak, Oak for the tie snake
Oil. That's rights, we havea time, Brian Oak. Oak.

radar? Have you picked it?I just picked the number. We're on
number eleven. Aj and Oak tiedat the top with four a piece.
Here is number eleven, a vessel. Clue number one involves planning and coordination.
(23:30):
Oak for the lead, steak out, great movie, I got all

these to catch people involved in illegalactivities. AJ for the lead sting operation.
That's tough, Oaks. Guess isso good? Just not right,
(24:56):
It's so right away. I knowstakeout is obviously you monitor people, but
staying out for the board for mewith special but man, is that that's
what I was trying to figure out. Assists every every clue fits staked down,
although I think some stakeout might beone word special special ops for sure.
(25:18):
Oh fantastic guess though, Holy cow, Well I get guess, except
it was wrong. So here's thedeal. Somebody's getting rose into. Only
one of you is gonna get onthe board. Tatum and Gorg, you
need number twelve to get into nextyear's tournament. Oak you more importantly,
OK, you need this to tie? All right, lot on the lot
on the line here anybody but Oakin Aja advances apologies, meets us you're
gonna hit the under good point.I just want a canny. I thank
(25:41):
you. I totally about looking athim, smile right now. Look how

It was so close one board.I'm ready, I'm restaurant ready. Let's
go number twelve. Oak going forthe tie. Gorgon tay, I'm trying
to get into next year's tournament.Anybody else but to Oka and aj is

you're like, I'm only like fivebody lengths behind him. Man, I'll
live with that. I am notembarrassed about my performance at all. It
would have been nice to unseat thegoat, but the goats. The reason
are the goats a goat for areason? He had me taken. Oh
yeah, you get to that whatwas one point, Well, it came
out a tide, and then atthe tiebreaker it's three clues. They're a
little easier to anybody's game, butit truly came down to who rang in
(27:07):
on stock options first. That's howclose Oak was debating you. They're at
least tying the possibly be all rightdancing around. I'm not trying to get
big in front of anybody, becauseI realized the presence I'm in. That

(28:15):
strategy at the end. Again,you'd tell you to swing right. Everyone
has to swing question. See that'sa tough spot though, so up one
with the final clue everyone else had. I kind of had to wait to
wait. I was thinking that,But of course I'm half thankful. Thank

(28:37):
nite an underwhelming second performance, Kajione year from now? Um, are
you closed with Mark Rosen? Couldyou go get breakfast with them? What
are you going to do? Ithink we will we do good times a
year ago over to the Good DayCafe. I think right across the freeway
and we do it all the time. Um, you get the Dark Star
Special, which is a basket ofwheat toast to go. I remember those
(28:57):
days with dark No to go.Love it. Listen. The first time
I played this game, it wasan absolute disaster with Super America guessing like
eighteen times I didn't played poorly.Today I feel good about it. I
had the one, but I thoughtI had that one, so I didn't
feel like I was awful. ButI'm still out for next year and I
(29:19):
performed expectations as the forty five.She can A fellow Burnsville guy, I
do love this too. I thinkAlexis Pearson and Andrew Martin were cheering for
at least two people I shut outbecause they think, well, then I'm
back in who says they're guaranteed,they better be planet they're end. All
I know is Alexis as a winner. She won, she has one.
(29:41):
Yeah, played well too. We'llsee, we'll see if they've earned their
way. But now at least twoopenings in the next year's tournament, I
think we're gonna have about one shadowper round five people. We're not the
only two, but I'm I'm veryround to be included with Mark Rosen with
anything the right AJ congratulations, you'removing different your title sweata hell of a
(30:03):
run to see another day if you'removing on so far in the semis.
Eric nordquiston a j monsoor getting beatenby a point by the single greatest person
who's ever played this game. Isprobably the greatest thing that's happened to me
in summer twenty twenty three. I'mhappy. I might get a tattoo.
I don't know. I'm going togo buy myself a red ribbon for second
place. Thanks. Is not happy? No, grim No, I'm I'm
(30:25):
not well. I believe PJ.Fleck would say that was an opportunity,
and opportunity doesn't count. Close doesn'tcount, Grimmar. We we almost had
him. Yeah, you guys weredefinitely swinging as a group. He's just
kept ringing it, and that's ringingand ringing. Throw you off if people
(30:45):
come in and start hitting home runsfirst pitch home runs. Fair enough,
group, Thank you, that wasa lot of fun than thanks, guys.
Appreciate the time, Appreciate the contributions. It's a good runs. Is
a tough combo. Isn't tough toughcombos? There goes Brian Oak almost in
victory, back to Citi's ninety almostvictory. I like that. The hard
(31:11):
part for the stock option stock offeringthing is your clues could be both all
of them. Every clue he usedcould have been bo. But I would
imagine that clue five six might geta little more specific. Well, he
gave them and they didn't. No, he didn't get no no because rung
in right. Yeah, yeah,I went with if it says anything about
a company, like I thought yousaid, they involves risk and there's more
(31:36):
risk and for the offering than theoption. Yeah, and I definitely was
aiming for option, and I justdidn't know if it technically was the same
thing. But it really isn't.Knock off is just when the company goes
public rights exactly, an option isfor it to everybody, an option is.
That's why the first clue was abouta specific time frame, right,
is within that window you have toeither accept the option, I almost an
(31:56):
offer option or not. So itis definitely not the same thing. Yeah,
I don't know what those are evenso the operation staying operation pisses me
off too, because I had operationand I could not get you know that
and everyone's get steak out too,right, I mean it felt like every
clue was steak out right. Thatwas amazing. Then for three clues you
can't get that out of your mind, right, christ Just like I think
(32:20):
last week you said you would havenot done well with cl right, I
would you have done. This wouldn'thave done well at all. No,
I wouldn't have competed with those twotough That was a tough one. Yeah,
well yeah, it was two cluesin like I'm I'm still trying to
figure out what starts with? Ohlike that that was. I was like,
oh, yeah, that does startwith. Many times it takes away
names almost, you know, Imean O'Connell or something. Steve oh have
(32:44):
counted. I don't know. ManShack was one of the tiebreakers. And
if I didn't, when it comesout on who number one or get item
number one who too. Yeah,I'll tell you that I thought he had
(33:08):
you did. There were some moments, right, it might be the hardest
round you have. Well we'll see, yeah, we'll see. Wow.
All right, Well that nice job. That's a lot of fun um um.
So everybody's off today down at TCOis a right tatum, that's right
except for me. Yeah, she'swork. I'm working. No, it'll
be good. Yeah, it'll bea nice reast day. Those guys deserve
(33:29):
it. Yeah. Back on Saturday, you guys, they're still practices to
head out too. And then wegot another night practice on Tuesday. Yeah,
and we go to Seattle. Thenwe yeah, packing it up our
bags going to Seattle. Yeah,yeah, yeah, I mean I feel
kind of bad about the whole youknow, nine pm kickoff here? Yi?
Uh preseason game Thursday night, ninepm kickoff, Fox nine. You're
(33:50):
doing fan line? No is it? I know it's a little early,
but are we expecting to see NickMullins for a half? Jarin Hall for
a half? I don't know ifthere's a plans been released yet officially,
especially no offense to Nick Mullins,but I've seen him blaze this solid quarterback
I have never seen. I don'teven know if I've seen a highlight of
Jearon Hall. I think it's interestingbecause when you like, I've talked about
this in the radio recently with meatthoughts. But if you're trying to like
(34:14):
invest in Jared Hall as a player, if you want to see what the
future as a quarterback, you're unsurewith Kirk, you know, the back
half of his career. What isJaron Hall? If he's your guy,
you really need to start seeing morefrom him, and he's not going to
get first team reps. So yeah, it's kind of a dicey situation because
well, if Kirk gets hurt thisyear, it's not going to be Hall
(34:35):
ready to go. I think Ithink they keep three on the roster,
but I've been wrong about a lotof things because will never see the field.
Yeah, I think you're right.I think they have to keep three
because if you put Jared on theyou know, deult steal him. Somebody
will steal him. That's also true. Yeah, I don't know. Should
be fun anyway, That's cool,all right, So Tatum's filming some stuff
(34:57):
this weekend for the Vikings Entertainment Network. Greg, what do you going on
Canterbury Park five o'clock Saturday, oneo'clock Sunday for PEPSI Family Day. Looking

(35:40):
