And THAT Is How They Met

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to another episode.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Of I Tell You What. I had heartburn all night
long and it was awful.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
Well, you're pregnant, tell everybody. There's a lot of new
people listening. There's people coming through, there's truckers driving through.
They're like, why is this lady talking about heartburn? She's
been talking about it for the last three months, two months,
especially because she's el Pragel. Why she's going to have
a baby here in a matter of weeks?

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Yep, she is.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
I am, I was cutting off your uh u esophagus.
It's probably doing a little stuff. It's kicking in there,
and it's probably kicking all your tummy stuff up.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
And yeah, I wonder if it's because like the baby
has been really active the last few days, like extra active,
it seems like, and I don't know if it's like
kicking things up. I don't know. I don't know what's
going on.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Well, you know, it's it has to be a result
of the baby growing, because it wasn't early on at all, correct,
And once the child started making his moves.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Or her or her becoming large and in charge.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Yeah, and punching and kicking and doing things yep.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yeah, So I don't know. That kind of sucked. How
did you sleep?

Speaker 1 (00:58):
That's not like a brick? Same, that's not pretty good?
Last night?

Speaker 3 (01:01):
Good to watch the last the second Monday Night football.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
I love Monday night football. Oh there's something comforting about.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
That game started at like nine pm.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Never complaining about that. I'm like, who start the game
at nine pm? Dude? Can you imagine if that was
the Vikes? No, I mean it had to be, had
to be West Coast team. I think it's the only way.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
They played at nine like they and they played like
they did on Sunday.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
No way. Oh and you stayed up till one o'clock
in the morning. Way I think watched that.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
It was the Chargers versus the Vega Las Vegas. Yeah,
so yeah, you had it was the East Coast or
West coast?

Speaker 1 (01:34):
West Coast?

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah yeah, West coast? Yeah, wild imagine if you were
trying to watch that, but you're on the East coast,
you gotta be up at ten o'clock.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Why that wasn't the first Monday night game?

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Usually used to do that on the first Monday announce
So are they gonna do.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
That all year? And I don't think so?

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Just for that so technically it does go to Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Now it goes.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Monday Tuesday technically, and then just Wednesday, there's no football
on wed Day. The NFL is malignant. They're like trying
to creep into every little day happen. Wednesday is the
only day. Just during COVID there was there are games
during Wednesday for the makeup games, and then we had
it every day.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
There is the only thing good about COVID.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Have they always done two games on Monday nights?

Speaker 1 (02:14):
No, it's usually a week one.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
They do that for the last few years because it's
like here, here's all your football.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Okay, like football's.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Back, let's make a big deal of it. Let's cover
the East coast, the West coast.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Let's start at you know, five Central like they did
yesterday and just let a rip. Got it? Okay?

Speaker 1 (02:30):
But no, that's not every not every week.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
And they do a lot of overseas games now and
now too.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
The Vikes have a couple coming up back to back week.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
More than one. Ya that's not normally either, is it.
And he's normally won well.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
And then Germany or it might be Germany than London.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
They have more than one overseas game. It's not like
the Vikes typically don't. But it's better. I think it's
better to do it in two weeks, stay over there
and acclimate to the time change, and everything's doing it
again two three weeks later.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah, so that's true. Yeah, my parents met at one
of those overseas games.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
That was way back and I don't even remember them
doing them way back in the day. Yeah, that was
over That was thirty five, thirty six years ago.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
That was even more than that because my parents got
married seven years four years ago. So my parents got
married thirty four years ago, but they were together for
several years.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Before they were married.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Yes, it's just like, yeah, you like me, Yeah, because
my parents met when my mom was twenty one and
then they didn't have me until she was like twenty eight,
twenty nine ish something like. But yeah, yeah, they met
in Sweden since my dad was a sports writer my
mom was a cheerleader, so obviously it worked.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Out that way. Who hit on who?

Speaker 2 (03:47):
They have a very funny story. Actually, so I think.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
That you do it in less than twenty seconds.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Nope, So they met at the night club. Yeah, I'll try.
They met at a nightclub in Sweden. Okay, because what
else are you going to do?

Speaker 3 (03:58):
And then they went, God forbid, you walk around and
gather some culture of the country anyway.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
And then after gathering culture in the country and only
commingling with other Americans, apparently they went back to their
respective hotel rooms. But everybody was staying at the same hotel.
The players, the writers, cheerleaders, all that, so they're all,
you know, they're they're all staying at the same hotel.
My mom is in a room with a bunch of
cheerleaders and all these they're all cheerleaders together, you freak.

(04:30):
And then so you've got all these cheerleaders who are
super super drunk in the middle of the night, and
they pick up the phone to the front desk and
they say, hey, we want to call They wanted to
call my dad, and but they couldn't.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Them what a lucky guy.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
So they all wanted to call my dad. So they
knew that his name was Bob, and they knew that
his last name started with an S. But they're all drunk,
slurring a Americans so like something cool, So they couldn't
get his last name right. So they're like trying to
remember It's like says says something and the other person
on the other end of the line is sweetish, barely

(05:10):
understands what they're saying.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
Yeah, so sent Hartman, no harder.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
No sent he.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Was at the time.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Sent him through to Bob Schnelker's room at no time. Yeah,
Bob Schnelker, what was he?

Speaker 1 (05:27):
He was an offensive coordinator, Yes.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
The Vikings offensive coordinator at the time. Hell oh. In
the middle of the middle of the night, Bob Schnelker
gets woken up by a bunch of drunk cheerleaders on
the phone who think that they're talking to Bob Sands
if you're the writer, because they like they have no
idea what's going on. I don't think so, Bob.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Bob Schnelker and your mom hit it off first.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
No, and then it didn't go anywhere. They figured out
that it was the wrong I think he was a
little pisseder. He's trying to sleep.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
She's who's the coach back then? Oh my gosh, what's
his name? Oh crap, why can't I think of him?
But no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, he
was got He swore every other word.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yes was coach back then? It was yeah. Bernsy was
probably about eighty three.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Then too, my dad loved Burns.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
A lot of people love Burnsy. Yeah, ALRP. I think Berns.
I don't think it's around. He lived a long long time.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Yeah, let's see here he falls away in twenty twenty one.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah, that's crazy. Well, thanks for the history. Lesson there,
you know.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
And then they moved. They came back. They were like, well,
we'll go on our first date when we come back
to America. Turned out they lived in the same apartment complex.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
That's convenient. Did she call everybody?

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Did she call everybody in the apartment complex to make
sure it was him or Schnelker, and Schnelker lived there too.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yeah, of course, was like, keep it down down. So
there's your fun little history my parents. I think of
the best, like how they met story. I love about that.
