Speaker 1 (00:00):
Kabbooms.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
The Fifth Hour with Ben Mallard starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
The end everywhere from the podcast dojo, you have found
the Fifth Hour with Ben Maler and Danny g Radio
as we are back at it. A new weekend is
upon us and we're glad to have you with us
year on the Fifth Hour. So a little different edition
(00:53):
of the podcast on this Friday. If you've been listening
to The Overnight Show during the week, we do audio
content eight days a week, as we are available either
in the podcast format or on terrestrial radio every day.
But this is a spinoff of the Overnight Show, only
(01:13):
available in the podcast format every Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
And this is being the first podcast of the week.
We've given Danny a little bit of a break here
on the Friday Podcast. We're gonna welcome in what I
like to say is the hostess with the mostess in
a moment. But it's a big event for the show,
(01:34):
and I'm very excited about what's to come here because
we have a Malard meet and greet. We've teased it,
We've talked about it. There was a limited edition shirt
that you could have purchased on Facebook or Instagram, many
of you date. We thank you for that and hopefully
you wear that with a lot of pride and it
(01:56):
has the Minnesota silhouette on that and it's wonderful. But
the Malor Meet and greet schmooth or you lose it
is booked. No more posturing, no more speculation. It is
set in concrete. We are going to break bread and
hang out together. If you're in Minneapolis, Saint Paul, anywhere
(02:18):
in Minnesota, anywhere within reasonable driving distance of the greater
Minnesota area. I'm very excited that May twentyth So if
you're listening when this podcast debut, it is May fifth today,
So we are fifteen days out, so a little over
(02:39):
two weeks from the Malor Meet and greet. We had
the location booked a couple days ago. But this podcast
fully dedicated to the Malor meet and greet in Minnesota.
And if you're a fan of the show, if you
listen to us sit late at night and you want
to me, it's come hang out. It's a very casual thing.
This is not something where you gotta get all dressed
(02:59):
up and all that. We're just hanging out, having a
good time and all that. But it's May twentieth again.
The time is five pm to nine pm. It's at
the Mermaid in An event Center. The Mermaid in An
Event Center twenty two hundred Mounds View Boulevard in beautiful
Mounds View, Minnesota, and the zip code on that is
(03:21):
five five one one two. This is a massive venue.
They've got an arcade, they've got bowling, all kinds of stuff,
and they've been kind enough to host us. And so
we're very excited about this and I cannot wait to
go out there. Hopefully I'll be able to meet you
and whatnot. But with more on this, we mentioned this
(03:43):
is a special podcast, a rare and appropriate edition of
The Fifth Hour with me, Ben Maler and Danny g
But Danny's got the day off today, so we bring
in now on the Insideline. She's on the hotline putting
the hot in Hotline a fan favorite and one of
our loyal minions in the greater Minneapolis Saint Paul area.
(04:07):
You know her, You lover spin cycle. Regina is with
us and we welcome you in spin Cycle. I appreciate
you being part of the fund. So I wanted to
ask you before we get into everything. I just kind
of mentioned loosely on a You've been working on this
for a couple of months. I've had other listeners, Angeline
(04:30):
and a few other people who have also reached out
to me, and nothing had really worked up until just
a few days ago. So on a scale of one
to ten on Regina spin Cycle, Regina, scale of one
to ten, how difficult has it been for you to
book this venue? Twenty plus? Now? Regina? Why why was
(04:55):
this so difficult? Now? You have been emailing me back
and forth, We've had correspondence. I've had other listeners Angelina
and some other people that have been boots on the
ground in Minnesota. I don't understand why this became so difficult.
Do you have a theory, Regina? Dealing with all these
different restaurants and all these different venues.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
People don't want to give up business on a Saturday.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Nothing.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
No, but we're not. We're bringing them business. We're not
taking away business. We're bringing customers to the business, is
what we're doing.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
We are, we are.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
We have people that are going to be flying in
from different parts of the country if they if they
actually follow through with it. And I mean, wouldn't you
if I was a restaurant and I could get advertising,
Like you know what I'm saying, Regina.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
I understand completely, And I think I think, Babe in Minnesota,
we're a little bit too conservative and smomlinded and just
protective and very territorial.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Oh yeah, So I'm an outsider, right, So I'm an outsider,
and I'm like, you know what I am, Regina, I'm
an interloper, is what I am. I'm an interloper, and like,
what are you doing here? You're not allowed here and
all that. So my goodness, Well, you talk to a
lot of people, and I guess I'm the uninvited guest.
But we're gonna We're gonna be the gate crash here
(06:23):
here and have a great time. And so I wanted
to have you on, Regina to explain because I've been
getting a lot of messages from people who are fans
of the show, many of them who happen to be
in Minnesota or the surrounding area. There are a few
people that are planning on bird dogging us and hanging out.
I don't know whether they'll actually show up. As I
(06:45):
often say, we've done a few of these meet and
greets over the years, and typically a lot of people
say they're gonna be there and then stuff happens. They
they have responsibilities and they can't get there and stuff.
So I get that, but there's a lot of people
everyone shows up who says they're going to show up.
We'll have a great turnout. I'm excited about it. But
we've got to go through the who, what, where, when
(07:06):
and why? And since you are the hostess with the mostes, Regina,
let's start out with the where and where? Where are that?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
How about we start out with you dropped a bomb
on me when I just wake up and ask we're.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Going to speak to the meet and greet and what
we're going to do?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Excuse me, Ben, but what did we do in La
except stand in a room, wait and hope and pray
to meet you? And then Mina, on the other hand,
stood in the corner trying not to get noticed until
someone asked me what did my name came mean, because
all it had was a spiral on it, and I said,
it's a spend cycle and they said, oh my god.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
You're spincycle Regina from Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
All of a sudden, I became the celebrity in the
room for a moment, until the mini militia brought you
to meet. And it was such an honor to find
out that, Oh my god, I do fit under your.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Armpit like you.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Ben.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I'm sorry, but even though you're big Ben, You're always
going to be my Ben.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
There you that's right, that's right. Well it was great
and you you did. You were part of the last
one that we did, Regiina were in l A. You
flew out and you were part of the after party.
I have been hearing here there just going to be
another after party. Well I'm not part of that, but
I I hear rumors there will be another wild after
party in the mid Coach.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
I've got the block of rooms for us.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
There you go, So, uh that that's great? And so
you were part of that. And now, yeah, I mean
it's not like it's not one of these things where
like we're gonna bowl and then we're gonna throw axes.
You know, It's it's not It's not one of those things, Regina.
It's like, well, we'll hang out. I assume you know
where we're going to be meeting at this place, right
(08:54):
and all that kind of have a rough idea. Yes, okay,
So of.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Them center in mounts View, Minnesota, and we have a
window for the event from five to five pm to
nine pm on Saturday the twentieth, and we do have
a bout of rooms available at a very great discounter
grade of one point thirty on Friday and Saturday. But
I need to tell you something, Okay, No, you know
(09:20):
who wants to stretch to the boundaries of course, Doc Mike.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Oh no, of course, of course. He's like, oh, but
I want Thursday too. I'm like, well, then you're only.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
To ask for the discountry to stend it to Thursday
just for you, because of course you can't reason with
the man when he wants to play golf.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Oh way. Of course Doc is worried about that. And
Doc is coming in from Chicago. Of course, your your radio,
your radio significant other, Regina, Doc, my radio husband. That's right,
I'm radio wife. How do you How do your relatives
feel about that? The regina that you have a prea?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
I have no.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Idea, since I'm kind of here on my own.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Okay, well, you don't have to worry about it, so
you can do whatever you want about it. You've got
your radio family, and you don't have to be cautious
or hesitant around your family.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
They're fat being cautious and and and being worried about
being dudged and stuff.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
You know what I wanted to ask you, Oh, don't
you even near.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
A bra for this?
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Or can they go PLoP in free? What?
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Well, you'd have to check with the venue, Regina, you'd
have to check with the venue. I'm not sure. There
might be some there might be some local city ordinances
that you might be scrutinized over and all that. But
I but I don't know. There might be there could
be a loophole. There's some kind of darling just for
the Okay, Oh, I thought I thought you were I
(10:47):
thought the meet and greet was going to go next level.
But the podcast, well it is.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
I don't think I should risk that.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah, I don't know, you know, it might you might
be playing dodgeball with some people. You don't want to
play dodgeball with that. But yeah, all right, So so again,
point by point, just name the place one more time.
So people are listening, they're doing other things while they
listen to the podcast. They're on the treadmill, they're doing
the work around the house. Uh, you know this weekend
(11:16):
stuff you gotta do. This is Friday. But what uh what?
What's the name of the place again?
Speaker 3 (11:22):
The Mermaid in an events center in Mountsview, Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Okay, And so this place, I looked it up online.
I've obviously never been there. It looks like a lot
of fun. There's a whole bunch of stuff to do there.
So if people get bored with me and with us,
they can go ball, or they can there's an axe
throwing thing. Have you been to this place, Regina? Have
you been out there?
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Absolutely? Our VWO events used to be held out there.
The Laking World Order used to have Friday events there
before game day on Sunday, So we used to be
down there all the time. So I knew the management
staff and this is where we got confirmed. So and
it's perfect because of all the venue that they have.
(12:09):
It's large enough that we because of the numbers that
we don't know who might show up. That was the
most difficult part was to tell them, well, a minimum
of forty, but who knows, it could.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Explode to one hundred.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
They have the space for it, so all the amenities
that they have available, that's what I was looking for,
and that's what I'm so happy for because we can eat,
drink and play and we have all the space available
to us.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah, absolutely, it's gonna be It's gonna be great. And
as far as who's going to show up and stuff,
we'll get to that in a little bit. But they
do have a restaurant this place. I was checking out
the restaurant here, and I have one. I know, I'm
not I don't want to rip anyone or any place
I've been, but we've done a few of these things
(12:57):
around the country, and some of the restaurants we've met
at I'm like, I don't want to eat anything at
the restaurant, but I'm looking at this. This is right
in my wheelhouse, Regina. They got chicken, They got chicken tenders,
cheese curds. You know, being in California, we don't get
a lot of good cheese curds. So I'm definitely gonna
eat some of those and then they I will.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Do a shout out to Jordan Reid.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
The chef's the one who helped make all this happen,
So that was that was one big thing that I
had to have a chef on board for whatever amount
of people that we would be having show up. So
he's the one who allowed me to get Patrick at
GM to agree to this, So that was a big point.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
And I love their menu.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Awesome. Yeah, no, this is right in my diet. And
this is Eddie bust my balls, Eddie Garcia busts my chops.
He says, I have the diet of a nine year
old or an eight year old. But I got to
tell you little taste Gordon read thank you, mister Reid,
because Gordon, I'll call him Gordon Jordan. Excuse me, bad
job by me, Jordan. So Jordan Reeds. So the menu,
(14:04):
this is all stuff almost everything I would eat. You've
got mini corn dogs, mac cheesy bites. I'm just looking.
I'm looking at the appetizers here and I'm getting hungry
and I am fasting right now, so that might be
part of the problem. But they got oh They got
everything here, Regina. They at burgers Wago, beef burgers, pizza.
(14:26):
They got desserts, all kinds of desserts there. Donut dunker.
I don't even know what that is, but it sounds good.
So I'm in on that. And so, yeah, this is great.
So I'll be able to hang out now. The odd
thing though, and you know this, Regina, I don't normally
like to eat at these things because I have this
weird mischiegs where when I'm eating, it's kind of awkward
(14:47):
when there's people around, you know, people are I think
everyone's it's fat man syndrome, Regina. I think everyone's staring
at me, you know. So I yeah, so it's a
bit of a problem, but I think I'll do it anyway.
I think I'll do it anyway, and it's going to
be be a lot of fun and we'll explore this
whole thing. And so again, it's May twenty. If you
said five pm tonight and no events, we might break out.
(15:14):
And there there's rumors that you and Doc Mike might
be part of something. I don't know if we want
to get into that. We probably won't get into that
right now.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
But that hasn't informed me formerly of anything, but I
mean it could still.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Happen, and I'm a doctor.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
I did want to mention one more thing that on Sunday,
the twenty first, at the US Bank Stadium, I would
like everyone to know that there's a free ticketed event
for but Grand sw Memorial.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Oh and it's on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Okay, yees Sunday at eleven am at US Bank Stadium
for book Grand Swimorial. And it's free, but it's a
ticketed event and you can get tickets through customer service
at Vikings, NFL dot net and or ticket offices six
point two three three eight four five three seven. So
I just want to honor the man that pioneered so
(16:06):
much for us and unfortunately we were suffering from a
but Grant curse that I mentioned to everyone in my
life that he we're not going to be able to
go to a Super Bowl until he worked with us
from the other side.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Oh yeah, yeah, I'd bless you, Bud Grant. You know,
I might. I might try to go to that Regina,
because I'm gonna be in town for a few days
after the meet and greet, kind of going around exploring Minnesota.
But I did want to check out the stadium, and
that would be kind of a way to get in
there and see the Viking.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Yep, yeah, ye, spank stadium.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yeah, you know what, I'm gonna try to get to that.
And Bud Grant, I never I know about him from
a distance, but I love the fact that the guy
up until his he passed away. I think he was
ninety five. He passed away a couple months ago, but
he was having garage sales, right and he's hanging out
like regular book.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Absolutely, our v TOW members so many of them got
to hang out with him so many times. I only
got to meet him a couple of times. But what
a stand up person. It's just a quality, absolute character.
And I couldn't imagine that we lost him, you know,
but we had him for a very long time.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
So very much appreciated.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Thank you, Bud Well absolutely and his history. For those
that are not from Minnesota and don't know the but
Grant story, he was in basketball with the Minneapolis Lakers,
right he was. He was drafted I think by the Lakers,
I remember correctly, you know, in the early days.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
I never gave that until I went to the Lakings Museum. Yeah, yeah, yep, yep.
That's where I found out about the basketball situation.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah, and he was part of one of the early
championship teams with the Lakers, and then he had the
whole NFL career and all that so amazing. Absolutely, So
if people want to r s VP as far as
our event, Regina, not to just I want everyone to
go and support Bud Grant and the memory of Bud Grant.
But can they email you?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Right?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
You had mentioned this on the radio show this is
the podcast people want to email?
Speaker 3 (18:09):
I have already been developing a guest list for people
who are rs routine to spend cycle Retina at gmail
dot com, and I am already developed let me see, oh,
a few names here.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
I don't know if I should mention the monikers or not.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
But we don't need to get that. I want to
be I want to be surprised. I want to be surprised.
Not that's good, okay.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Oh, I'm working on a couple of surprises for you.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Don't you worried? A bunch of hookers and cocaine.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Oh I don't know about that. That could be dangerous.
That could be dangerous.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
That possibly could yeah, uh, well.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
The one in Seattle we did right before COVID was
was one of the wildest ones because that one we
we had Ed from Spokane and Christina from Spokane and
they had a megaphone, and so we did the we
did the Malorman March around downtown Seattle and yeah, and
(19:08):
Ed has no shame Ed and Spokane, and he was
like he was on the megaphone and trying to get
people to listen to the show, promoting our show, and
people were getting genuinely annoyed because they were like they
were like homeless people trying to sleep, and Ed's like
on the mecaphone waking them up as he's walking down
(19:31):
some random street in Seattle. So that was that was
pretty crazy. And then the one we did in Boston,
we had we had David from Winter Park, Florida who
drove up and then uh and then also about Wayne
from Southie who's a local Boston guy. And Wayne was
so over the top, like he he kept buying me drinks,
(19:55):
which was kind of cool because I didn't have to
buy my own drinks, but you know, I don't drink
that much. I'm not a huge drinker, and so kept
buying me drinks. And then he had stopped drinking because
he had had a few issues in his earlier days,
and so then he started drinking, and then and then yeah,
and then so it got to the point like we
had to take off, Me and Blind Scott and our
(20:16):
a couple of my friends from Maine, Like we took
off and like because we were worried because he had
gone to the bathroom and we were worried that Wayne
from South he was gonna come out. So you never
know what's gonna happen at a mount of Meat. You
have no idea that Connor shenanigans that are gonna take place,
and so it's it's it's always interesting, and it's really
cool for a lot of people. And I don't know
if you felt this way, Regina. A lot of people
(20:38):
they like kind of hanging out with me, but it's
like you get to meet other fans of the show
and people that are listeners and stuff, and so that's
a cool part of it too. Like there's a little kid.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
Yeah, honey, I am so honored to be in this
position right now because I networked with all the people
that were out there, and I had no idea that
I was gonna be gifted with the the honor of.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Being put in this position.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
But now I have all of these friends that literally,
when I get off the radio, they'll they'll chime in
with me and text me from California saying, hey, oh
my god, I heard you look great job, you know,
and I'm just like, thank you so much. You know,
it's so cute that I am a folloween, you know,
and I just I just love it.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
It's so cool. And now I get to brush shoulders with.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
You know, local fandom here and local celebrities, and I've
do you know who I got to talk to yesterday,
Paul Ellen.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
Hello, Paul Allen.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Voice of the Viking.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
It's amazing, because it's just absolutely amazing.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
So thank you. And it's been a wonderful effort.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
And we're still continuing the effort because I'm still trying
to get some of these people to confirm that I
might come in and I might make a guest appearance,
and you know, hopefully it won't cost me an arm
and a leg.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
No, no, no, we don't know. We don't want any
arm and a leg situation at all. But the again,
it's Mermaid in an event center. It's twenty two hundred
Mounds View Boulevard. Am I right on that? I believe
I'm right on that.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Minnesota, yep?
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Okay? And what else is? What is there anything else
in Mound I've never been to Mounds View, Minnesota. What
else is going on there in Mounds There's a small
suburb of Minneapolis right right.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
It's not too far from Minneapolis.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
It's not too far from Saint Paul, easy access right
off the freeway.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
It's a good location.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
It's a fun location, and hopefully we're just going to
make this an epic event.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
I can't wait. We are, We're closing on it. We're
a couple of weeks away from my trip there, and
then I'm gonna hang out with everybody on Saturday. I
got my brothers coming over. He lives in Wisconsin, so
he's going to drive.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Wanted to know if it was going to come, if
you invited him.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I did. Of course I did, Of course I did.
So we did like a really small thing, like the
last minute. It wasn't planned out in Appleton when I
was back visiting my brother. But this is like next level,
Like this is the official You've rolled out the red carpet, Regina.
I do appreciate it. And so this place we mentioned
that they've got the bowling, they've got the axe throwing.
(23:16):
They have an arcade, right, it's got an arcade. That's cool.
Do they have ski ball? Do they have the game
when you roll the balls and all that? Do they
have that? Is that on there?
Speaker 4 (23:27):
I don't think that they do a little bit old
and dated for ski ball.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
I think, are you saying I'm a dinosaur because I
like skateball all? So dare you?
Speaker 4 (23:36):
I am?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
No? But they've got thirty two bowling lanes. No, you're
you're not a day over twenty five? What are you
talking about? Two ballrooms? There you go. I say, I
stopped aging at age twenty five. That's it. I stopped
here at seventeen. I'm at twenty five. That's that's a
bit of a problem. But they got they got a
bull there. If you're into you drinking's your thing or whatever.
(23:59):
So they got a little bit everything free Wi Fi.
I saw on the website. So they've got and it's

going to be there. I am gonna I'm flying in
on Friday night. I'll be there and then I'll be
at the event on Saturday, and hopefully I can go
to this Bud Grant thing on Sunday and check out
(24:20):
the Vikings Stadium and pay my respects to Bud Grant
and all that, so that I will be there.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
I will be there, for sure.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
I will be there, and then get your tickets requested
through customer service and the ticket office and it's free.
And it would be great just to be there at
memorial to honor one of the greatest pioneers of the Vikings.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
You know, yeah, for sure, NFL legend, sports legend like
he did a little bit of everything, the CFL Hall
of Famer, NFL Legend, Laker GUYE. Bud Grint and all that.
Are anything else we missed here, Regina? Any closing? Is
there anything else? Not that we actually go anywhere on
the p but anything else we need to know. You
(25:02):
mentioned the email, you mentioned we mentioned the location Mermaid
in an event center. May twentieth. It's a Saturday. It's
the Twins are not in town. Don't worry about that.
There's no the Saint Paul Saints are in town. I
looked at that. They're not in town. So you don't
have to worry about that. It's no distractions.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
There's nothing else intentionally to me, By the way, did
you do this intentionally?
Speaker 4 (25:24):
That's the question. That's the closer. Did you do this intentionally.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
To pick the weekend when I can't get you into
a press boughs with the I can't, I can't you
get into a VIP level with the Saints.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
That's all. It's it's it's it's it's all good. I actually, well,
the schedules had the lineups, like I need a schedule lineup.
My goal was actually I wanted to go to a
Saint Paul Saints game. I would have loved to have
done that. I thought that would have been great. But
one of them. I'll come back there at some point,
Regina and hopefully they'll be in town. But yeah, what
are the odds?
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Though?
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Like I looked at the schedule and I clere, you know,
I have things going on obviously with work and things
and in my my life situation here in La so
I had to coordinate everything with the wife and everything
and get everything ready to go, and so like I've
got all that, all that stuff, and then I looked
at the schedule like, oh crap, the Twins are not. No,
(26:19):
it's good because there's no again, Regiena, there's no distraction,
there's it's just it's just that we're the main event.
So it's a positive evidence. But we don't have anyone
saying I can't go because I'm going to the Twins game,
or I gotta go watch the Saint Paul, you know,
the Saint Paul game. I know, there's no nothing, nothing else.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
We have to look at how the universe works. All
of that is not available to us. And it's not
football season and we have the opportunity to visit the
US Bank Stadium.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
That's true, that is that is right, So I'm going
to try to take advantage of that. That is early
though for me, you know, I do the overnight thing,
as you know, Regina, and so I it's a little
early eleven am. I'm not normally up at eleven a.
But I can rare and appropriate right, rare and appropriate traveling.
You don't have to stay up all night. You can
(27:10):
you can get up when the sun's up. And I'm
a bit like, I'm a bit like a vampire though
you know it's garlic. I like garlic though, but that's
son man that's sun in the mind. Okay, Regina, listen,
thank you. I am looking forward to this. It's gonna
be a lot of fun. I think this is gonna
be one of the better ones we've done, maybe the
(27:30):
greatest of the one we've done. I cannot wait to
get out to hang out and meet you again, to
see you again. Everyone's gonna be there, Doc Mike, who
I've not seen in many, many years, and I've heard
rumors some other big names on the show we'll be
making an appearance there. I know. I've gotten emails from
a number of people that listen down in Iowa that
are big fans, that are are saying they're gonna drive up.
(27:52):
I've had one of our friends, a big real estate guy,
the real estate mogul in Baltimore's talking about flying in.
We've had people in Florida, some of our listeners that
are talking about flying in for the day and hanging
out with us in California, so all over the place.
But it doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
Mostly that's wonderful.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
I'm so glad that I could provide everything for you
and set this up for you, and I pray that
all of them can show up. Well.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Yeah, exactly, and even if it's just me, you and
Doc Mike will have a great time. We'll have a
fine exactly, We'll have a wonderful time. And that's it.
And you never know who's going to be there and
who's not going to be there. And I know people
have lives and it's expensive to travel and if you're
outside of the area. But I will definitely be appreciate
if everyone that shows up. So on that note, we'll
let you affect. Thank you, Regina, appreciate it. Are there.
(28:40):
She goes spin Psycho Regina
Kabbooms.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

of you date. We thank you for that and hopefully
you wear that with a lot of pride and it
(01:56):
has the Minnesota silhouette on that and it's wonderful. But
the Malor Meet and greet schmooth or you lose it

set in concrete. We are going to break bread and
hang out together. If you're in Minneapolis, Saint Paul, anywhere
(02:18):
in Minnesota, anywhere within reasonable driving distance of the greater
Minnesota area. I'm very excited that May twentyth So if
you're listening when this podcast debut, it is May fifth today,
So we are fifteen days out, so a little over
(02:39):
two weeks from the Malor Meet and greet. We had
the location booked a couple days ago. But this podcast
fully dedicated to the Malor meet and greet in Minnesota.
And if you're a fan of the show, if you
listen to us sit late at night and you want
to me, it's come hang out. It's a very casual thing.
This is not something where you gotta get all dressed
(02:59):
up and all that. We're just hanging out, having a
good time and all that. But it's May twentieth again.
The time is five pm to nine pm. It's at
the Mermaid in An event Center. The Mermaid in An
Event Center twenty two hundred Mounds View Boulevard in beautiful
Mounds View, Minnesota, and the zip code on that is
(03:21):
five five one one two. This is a massive venue.
They've got an arcade, they've got bowling, all kinds of stuff,
and they've been kind enough to host us. And so
we're very excited about this and I cannot wait to
go out there. Hopefully I'll be able to meet you
and whatnot. But with more on this, we mentioned this
(03:43):
is a special podcast, a rare and appropriate edition of
The Fifth Hour with me, Ben Maler and Danny g
But Danny's got the day off today, so we bring
in now on the Insideline. She's on the hotline putting
the hot in Hotline a fan favorite and one of
our loyal minions in the greater Minneapolis Saint Paul area.
(04:07):
You know her, You lover spin cycle. Regina is with
us and we welcome you in spin Cycle. I appreciate
you being part of the fund. So I wanted to
ask you before we get into everything. I just kind
of mentioned loosely on a You've been working on this
for a couple of months. I've had other listeners, Angeline
(04:30):
and a few other people who have also reached out
to me, and nothing had really worked up until just
a few days ago. So on a scale of one
to ten on Regina spin Cycle, Regina, scale of one
to ten, how difficult has it been for you to
book this venue? Twenty plus? Now? Regina? Why why was
(04:55):
this so difficult? Now? You have been emailing me back
and forth, We've had correspondence. I've had other listeners Angelina
and some other people that have been boots on the
ground in Minnesota. I don't understand why this became so difficult.
Do you have a theory, Regina? Dealing with all these
different restaurants and all these different venues.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
People don't want to give up business on a Saturday.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Nothing.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
No, but we're not. We're bringing them business. We're not
taking away business. We're bringing customers to the business, is
what we're doing.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
We are, we are.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
We have people that are going to be flying in
from different parts of the country if they if they
actually follow through with it. And I mean, wouldn't you
if I was a restaurant and I could get advertising,
Like you know what I'm saying, Regina.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
I understand completely, And I think I think, Babe in Minnesota,
we're a little bit too conservative and smomlinded and just
protective and very territorial.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Oh yeah, So I'm an outsider, right, So I'm an outsider,
and I'm like, you know what I am, Regina, I'm
an interloper, is what I am. I'm an interloper, and like,
what are you doing here? You're not allowed here and
all that. So my goodness, Well, you talk to a
lot of people, and I guess I'm the uninvited guest.
But we're gonna We're gonna be the gate crash here
(06:23):
here and have a great time. And so I wanted
to have you on, Regina to explain because I've been
getting a lot of messages from people who are fans
of the show, many of them who happen to be
in Minnesota or the surrounding area. There are a few
people that are planning on bird dogging us and hanging out.
I don't know whether they'll actually show up. As I
(06:45):
often say, we've done a few of these meet and
greets over the years, and typically a lot of people
say they're gonna be there and then stuff happens. They
they have responsibilities and they can't get there and stuff.
So I get that, but there's a lot of people
everyone shows up who says they're going to show up.
We'll have a great turnout. I'm excited about it. But
we've got to go through the who, what, where, when
(07:06):
and why? And since you are the hostess with the mostes, Regina,
let's start out with the where and where? Where are that?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
How about we start out with you dropped a bomb
on me when I just wake up and ask we're.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Going to speak to the meet and greet and what
we're going to do?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Excuse me, Ben, but what did we do in La
except stand in a room, wait and hope and pray
to meet you? And then Mina, on the other hand,
stood in the corner trying not to get noticed until
someone asked me what did my name came mean, because
all it had was a spiral on it, and I said,
it's a spend cycle and they said, oh my god.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
You're spincycle Regina from Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
All of a sudden, I became the celebrity in the
room for a moment, until the mini militia brought you
to meet. And it was such an honor to find
out that, Oh my god, I do fit under your.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Armpit like you.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Ben.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I'm sorry, but even though you're big Ben, You're always
going to be my Ben.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
There you that's right, that's right. Well it was great
and you you did. You were part of the last
one that we did, Regiina were in l A. You
flew out and you were part of the after party.
I have been hearing here there just going to be
another after party. Well I'm not part of that, but
I I hear rumors there will be another wild after
party in the mid Coach.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
I've got the block of rooms for us.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
There you go, So, uh that that's great? And so
you were part of that. And now, yeah, I mean
it's not like it's not one of these things where
like we're gonna bowl and then we're gonna throw axes.
You know, It's it's not It's not one of those things, Regina.
It's like, well, we'll hang out. I assume you know
where we're going to be meeting at this place, right
(08:54):
and all that kind of have a rough idea. Yes, okay,
So of.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Them center in mounts View, Minnesota, and we have a
window for the event from five to five pm to
nine pm on Saturday the twentieth, and we do have
a bout of rooms available at a very great discounter
grade of one point thirty on Friday and Saturday. But
I need to tell you something, Okay, No, you know
(09:20):
who wants to stretch to the boundaries of course, Doc Mike.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Oh no, of course, of course. He's like, oh, but
I want Thursday too. I'm like, well, then you're only.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
To ask for the discountry to stend it to Thursday
just for you, because of course you can't reason with
the man when he wants to play golf.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Oh way. Of course Doc is worried about that. And
Doc is coming in from Chicago. Of course, your your radio,
your radio significant other, Regina, Doc, my radio husband. That's right,
I'm radio wife. How do you How do your relatives
feel about that? The regina that you have a prea?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
I have no.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Idea, since I'm kind of here on my own.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Okay, well, you don't have to worry about it, so
you can do whatever you want about it. You've got
your radio family, and you don't have to be cautious
or hesitant around your family.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
They're fat being cautious and and and being worried about
being dudged and stuff.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
You know what I wanted to ask you, Oh, don't
you even near.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
A bra for this?
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Or can they go PLoP in free? What?
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Well, you'd have to check with the venue, Regina, you'd
have to check with the venue. I'm not sure. There
might be some there might be some local city ordinances
that you might be scrutinized over and all that. But
I but I don't know. There might be there could
be a loophole. There's some kind of darling just for
the Okay, Oh, I thought I thought you were I
(10:47):
thought the meet and greet was going to go next level.
But the podcast, well it is.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
I don't think I should risk that.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah, I don't know, you know, it might you might
be playing dodgeball with some people. You don't want to
play dodgeball with that. But yeah, all right, So so again,
point by point, just name the place one more time.
So people are listening, they're doing other things while they
listen to the podcast. They're on the treadmill, they're doing
the work around the house. Uh, you know this weekend
(11:16):
stuff you gotta do. This is Friday. But what uh what?
What's the name of the place again?
Speaker 3 (11:22):
The Mermaid in an events center in Mountsview, Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Okay, And so this place, I looked it up online.
I've obviously never been there. It looks like a lot
of fun. There's a whole bunch of stuff to do there.
So if people get bored with me and with us,
they can go ball, or they can there's an axe
throwing thing. Have you been to this place, Regina? Have
you been out there?
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Absolutely? Our VWO events used to be held out there.
The Laking World Order used to have Friday events there
before game day on Sunday, So we used to be
down there all the time. So I knew the management
staff and this is where we got confirmed. So and
it's perfect because of all the venue that they have.
(12:09):
It's large enough that we because of the numbers that
we don't know who might show up. That was the
most difficult part was to tell them, well, a minimum
of forty, but who knows, it could.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Explode to one hundred.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
They have the space for it, so all the amenities
that they have available, that's what I was looking for,
and that's what I'm so happy for because we can eat,
drink and play and we have all the space available
to us.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah, absolutely, it's gonna be It's gonna be great. And
as far as who's going to show up and stuff,
we'll get to that in a little bit. But they
do have a restaurant this place. I was checking out
the restaurant here, and I have one. I know, I'm
not I don't want to rip anyone or any place
I've been, but we've done a few of these things
(12:57):
around the country, and some of the restaurants we've met
at I'm like, I don't want to eat anything at
the restaurant, but I'm looking at this. This is right
in my wheelhouse, Regina. They got chicken, They got chicken tenders,
cheese curds. You know, being in California, we don't get
a lot of good cheese curds. So I'm definitely gonna
eat some of those and then they I will.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Do a shout out to Jordan Reid.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
The chef's the one who helped make all this happen,
So that was that was one big thing that I
had to have a chef on board for whatever amount
of people that we would be having show up. So
he's the one who allowed me to get Patrick at
GM to agree to this, So that was a big point.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
And I love their menu.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Awesome. Yeah, no, this is right in my diet. And
this is Eddie bust my balls, Eddie Garcia busts my chops.
He says, I have the diet of a nine year
old or an eight year old. But I got to
tell you little taste Gordon read thank you, mister Reid,
because Gordon, I'll call him Gordon Jordan. Excuse me, bad
job by me, Jordan. So Jordan Reeds. So the menu,
(14:04):
this is all stuff almost everything I would eat. You've
got mini corn dogs, mac cheesy bites. I'm just looking.
I'm looking at the appetizers here and I'm getting hungry
and I am fasting right now, so that might be
part of the problem. But they got oh They got
everything here, Regina. They at burgers Wago, beef burgers, pizza.
(14:26):
They got desserts, all kinds of desserts there. Donut dunker.
I don't even know what that is, but it sounds good.
So I'm in on that. And so, yeah, this is great.
So I'll be able to hang out now. The odd
thing though, and you know this, Regina, I don't normally
like to eat at these things because I have this
weird mischiegs where when I'm eating, it's kind of awkward
(14:47):
when there's people around, you know, people are I think
everyone's it's fat man syndrome, Regina. I think everyone's staring
at me, you know. So I yeah, so it's a
bit of a problem, but I think I'll do it anyway.
I think I'll do it anyway, and it's going to
be be a lot of fun and we'll explore this
whole thing. And so again, it's May twenty. If you
said five pm tonight and no events, we might break out.
(15:14):
And there there's rumors that you and Doc Mike might
be part of something. I don't know if we want
to get into that. We probably won't get into that
right now.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
But that hasn't informed me formerly of anything, but I
mean it could still.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Happen, and I'm a doctor.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
I did want to mention one more thing that on Sunday,
the twenty first, at the US Bank Stadium, I would
like everyone to know that there's a free ticketed event
for but Grand sw Memorial.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Oh and it's on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Okay, yees Sunday at eleven am at US Bank Stadium
for book Grand Swimorial. And it's free, but it's a
ticketed event and you can get tickets through customer service
at Vikings, NFL dot net and or ticket offices six
point two three three eight four five three seven. So
I just want to honor the man that pioneered so
(16:06):
much for us and unfortunately we were suffering from a
but Grant curse that I mentioned to everyone in my
life that he we're not going to be able to
go to a Super Bowl until he worked with us
from the other side.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Oh yeah, yeah, I'd bless you, Bud Grant. You know,
I might. I might try to go to that Regina,
because I'm gonna be in town for a few days
after the meet and greet, kind of going around exploring Minnesota.
But I did want to check out the stadium, and
that would be kind of a way to get in
there and see the Viking.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Yep, yeah, ye, spank stadium.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yeah, you know what, I'm gonna try to get to that.
And Bud Grant, I never I know about him from
a distance, but I love the fact that the guy
up until his he passed away. I think he was
ninety five. He passed away a couple months ago, but
he was having garage sales, right and he's hanging out
like regular book.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Absolutely, our v TOW members so many of them got
to hang out with him so many times. I only
got to meet him a couple of times. But what
a stand up person. It's just a quality, absolute character.
And I couldn't imagine that we lost him, you know,
but we had him for a very long time.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
So very much appreciated.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Thank you, Bud Well absolutely and his history. For those
that are not from Minnesota and don't know the but
Grant story, he was in basketball with the Minneapolis Lakers,
right he was. He was drafted I think by the Lakers,
I remember correctly, you know, in the early days.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
I never gave that until I went to the Lakings Museum. Yeah, yeah, yep, yep.
That's where I found out about the basketball situation.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah, and he was part of one of the early
championship teams with the Lakers, and then he had the
whole NFL career and all that so amazing. Absolutely, So
if people want to r s VP as far as
our event, Regina, not to just I want everyone to
go and support Bud Grant and the memory of Bud Grant.
But can they email you?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Right?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
You had mentioned this on the radio show this is
the podcast people want to email?
Speaker 3 (18:09):
I have already been developing a guest list for people
who are rs routine to spend cycle Retina at gmail
dot com, and I am already developed let me see, oh,
a few names here.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
I don't know if I should mention the monikers or not.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
But we don't need to get that. I want to
be I want to be surprised. I want to be surprised.
Not that's good, okay.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Oh, I'm working on a couple of surprises for you.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Don't you worried? A bunch of hookers and cocaine.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Oh I don't know about that. That could be dangerous.
That could be dangerous.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
That possibly could yeah, uh, well.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
The one in Seattle we did right before COVID was
was one of the wildest ones because that one we
we had Ed from Spokane and Christina from Spokane and
they had a megaphone, and so we did the we
did the Malorman March around downtown Seattle and yeah, and
(19:08):
Ed has no shame Ed and Spokane, and he was
like he was on the megaphone and trying to get
people to listen to the show, promoting our show, and
people were getting genuinely annoyed because they were like they
were like homeless people trying to sleep, and Ed's like
on the mecaphone waking them up as he's walking down
(19:31):
some random street in Seattle. So that was that was
pretty crazy. And then the one we did in Boston,
we had we had David from Winter Park, Florida who
drove up and then uh and then also about Wayne
from Southie who's a local Boston guy. And Wayne was
so over the top, like he he kept buying me drinks,
(19:55):
which was kind of cool because I didn't have to
buy my own drinks, but you know, I don't drink
that much. I'm not a huge drinker, and so kept
buying me drinks. And then he had stopped drinking because
he had had a few issues in his earlier days,
and so then he started drinking, and then and then yeah,
and then so it got to the point like we
had to take off, Me and Blind Scott and our
(20:16):
a couple of my friends from Maine, Like we took
off and like because we were worried because he had
gone to the bathroom and we were worried that Wayne
from South he was gonna come out. So you never
know what's gonna happen at a mount of Meat. You
have no idea that Connor shenanigans that are gonna take place,
and so it's it's it's always interesting, and it's really
cool for a lot of people. And I don't know
if you felt this way, Regina. A lot of people
(20:38):
they like kind of hanging out with me, but it's
like you get to meet other fans of the show
and people that are listeners and stuff, and so that's
a cool part of it too. Like there's a little kid.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
Yeah, honey, I am so honored to be in this
position right now because I networked with all the people
that were out there, and I had no idea that
I was gonna be gifted with the the honor of.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Being put in this position.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
But now I have all of these friends that literally,
when I get off the radio, they'll they'll chime in
with me and text me from California saying, hey, oh
my god, I heard you look great job, you know,
and I'm just like, thank you so much. You know,
it's so cute that I am a folloween, you know,
and I just I just love it.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
It's so cool. And now I get to brush shoulders with.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
You know, local fandom here and local celebrities, and I've
do you know who I got to talk to yesterday,
Paul Ellen.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
Hello, Paul Allen.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Voice of the Viking.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
It's amazing, because it's just absolutely amazing.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
So thank you. And it's been a wonderful effort.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
And we're still continuing the effort because I'm still trying
to get some of these people to confirm that I
might come in and I might make a guest appearance,
and you know, hopefully it won't cost me an arm
and a leg.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
No, no, no, we don't know. We don't want any
arm and a leg situation at all. But the again,
it's Mermaid in an event center. It's twenty two hundred
Mounds View Boulevard. Am I right on that? I believe
I'm right on that.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Minnesota, yep?
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Okay? And what else is? What is there anything else
in Mound I've never been to Mounds View, Minnesota. What
else is going on there in Mounds There's a small
suburb of Minneapolis right right.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
It's not too far from Minneapolis.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
It's not too far from Saint Paul, easy access right
off the freeway.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
It's a good location.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
It's a fun location, and hopefully we're just going to
make this an epic event.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
I can't wait. We are, We're closing on it. We're
a couple of weeks away from my trip there, and
then I'm gonna hang out with everybody on Saturday. I
got my brothers coming over. He lives in Wisconsin, so
he's going to drive.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Wanted to know if it was going to come, if
you invited him.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I did. Of course I did, Of course I did.
So we did like a really small thing, like the
last minute. It wasn't planned out in Appleton when I
was back visiting my brother. But this is like next level,
Like this is the official You've rolled out the red carpet, Regina.
I do appreciate it. And so this place we mentioned
that they've got the bowling, they've got the axe throwing.
(23:16):
They have an arcade, right, it's got an arcade. That's cool.
Do they have ski ball? Do they have the game
when you roll the balls and all that? Do they
have that? Is that on there?
Speaker 4 (23:27):
I don't think that they do a little bit old
and dated for ski ball.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
I think, are you saying I'm a dinosaur because I
like skateball all? So dare you?
Speaker 4 (23:36):
I am?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
No? But they've got thirty two bowling lanes. No, you're
you're not a day over twenty five? What are you
talking about? Two ballrooms? There you go. I say, I
stopped aging at age twenty five. That's it. I stopped
here at seventeen. I'm at twenty five. That's that's a
bit of a problem. But they got they got a
bull there. If you're into you drinking's your thing or whatever.
(23:59):
So they got a little bit everything free Wi Fi.
I saw on the website. So they've got and it's
all booked up, it's all ready to go. We are
going to be there. I am gonna I'm flying in
on Friday night. I'll be there and then I'll be
at the event on Saturday, and hopefully I can go
to this Bud Grant thing on Sunday and check out
(24:20):
the Vikings Stadium and pay my respects to Bud Grant
and all that, so that I will be there.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
I will be there, for sure.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
I will be there, and then get your tickets requested
through customer service and the ticket office and it's free.
And it would be great just to be there at
memorial to honor one of the greatest pioneers of the Vikings.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
You know, yeah, for sure, NFL legend, sports legend like
he did a little bit of everything, the CFL Hall
of Famer, NFL Legend, Laker GUYE. Bud Grint and all that.
Are anything else we missed here, Regina? Any closing? Is
there anything else? Not that we actually go anywhere on
the p but anything else we need to know. You
(25:02):
mentioned the email, you mentioned we mentioned the location Mermaid
in an event center. May twentieth. It's a Saturday. It's
the Twins are not in town. Don't worry about that.
There's no the Saint Paul Saints are in town. I
looked at that. They're not in town. So you don't
have to worry about that. It's no distractions.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
There's nothing else intentionally to me, By the way, did
you do this intentionally?
Speaker 4 (25:24):
That's the question. That's the closer. Did you do this intentionally.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
To pick the weekend when I can't get you into
a press boughs with the I can't, I can't you
get into a VIP level with the Saints.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
That's all. It's it's it's it's it's all good. I actually, well,
the schedules had the lineups, like I need a schedule lineup.
My goal was actually I wanted to go to a
Saint Paul Saints game. I would have loved to have
done that. I thought that would have been great. But
one of them. I'll come back there at some point,
Regina and hopefully they'll be in town. But yeah, what
are the odds?
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Though?
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Like I looked at the schedule and I clere, you know,
I have things going on obviously with work and things
and in my my life situation here in La so
I had to coordinate everything with the wife and everything
and get everything ready to go, and so like I've
got all that, all that stuff, and then I looked
at the schedule like, oh crap, the Twins are not. No,
(26:19):
it's good because there's no again, Regiena, there's no distraction,
there's it's just it's just that we're the main event.
So it's a positive evidence. But we don't have anyone
saying I can't go because I'm going to the Twins game,
or I gotta go watch the Saint Paul, you know,
the Saint Paul game. I know, there's no nothing, nothing else.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
We have to look at how the universe works. All
of that is not available to us. And it's not
football season and we have the opportunity to visit the
US Bank Stadium.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
That's true, that is that is right, So I'm going
to try to take advantage of that. That is early
though for me, you know, I do the overnight thing,
as you know, Regina, and so I it's a little
early eleven am. I'm not normally up at eleven a.
But I can rare and appropriate right, rare and appropriate traveling.
You don't have to stay up all night. You can
(27:10):
you can get up when the sun's up. And I'm
a bit like, I'm a bit like a vampire though
you know it's garlic. I like garlic though, but that's
son man that's sun in the mind. Okay, Regina, listen,
thank you. I am looking forward to this. It's gonna
be a lot of fun. I think this is gonna
be one of the better ones we've done, maybe the
(27:30):
greatest of the one we've done. I cannot wait to
get out to hang out and meet you again, to
see you again. Everyone's gonna be there, Doc Mike, who
I've not seen in many, many years, and I've heard
rumors some other big names on the show we'll be
making an appearance there. I know. I've gotten emails from
a number of people that listen down in Iowa that
are big fans, that are are saying they're gonna drive up.
(27:52):
I've had one of our friends, a big real estate guy,
the real estate mogul in Baltimore's talking about flying in.
We've had people in Florida, some of our listeners that
are talking about flying in for the day and hanging
out with us in California, so all over the place.
But it doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
Mostly that's wonderful.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
I'm so glad that I could provide everything for you
and set this up for you, and I pray that
all of them can show up. Well.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Yeah, exactly, and even if it's just me, you and
Doc Mike will have a great time. We'll have a
fine exactly, We'll have a wonderful time. And that's it.
And you never know who's going to be there and
who's not going to be there. And I know people
have lives and it's expensive to travel and if you're
outside of the area. But I will definitely be appreciate
if everyone that shows up. So on that note, we'll
let you affect. Thank you, Regina, appreciate it. Are there.
