my boys were saying dad. Or.

1:55

my boys are twelve and nine right in the

1:57

heart of being a nurse or it comes to

1:59

sports And all we could talk

2:01

about is what are our favorite

2:03

teams gonna do? My oldest happens to be

2:06

a Bills fan in addition to being a

2:08

Vikings fan My youngest happens to be

2:10

a Buccaneers fan in addition to be in a

2:12

Vikings fan because of Tom Brady. So

2:14

it was What is my team gonna do?

2:16

Well, what is my team gonna do? Well, what if my team doesn't

2:18

do that? What if my team moves up? What if my team moves

2:20

down and I thought oh my god,

2:23

this is all my fault. Yeah, you've

2:25

you've done this You've created that this

2:27

is 100% my fault to the point where they're

2:30

going to work in the midst of what we're

2:32

calling this Is it MCAT whatever testing sure week

2:34

is you know The end of the year towards

2:36

the end of the year school testing is taking

2:39

place right now And I

2:41

got two kids rolling in a testing worried about

2:43

are the bills gonna have enough

2:45

ammunition to trade up to draft a wide receiver You're

2:47

kidding. So this is 100% my fault But

2:51

the point where I was talking to you about My

2:54

deck staining process which thank you very

2:56

much for the recommendation you were a

2:58

significant help Got her power

3:01

washed off on Saturday. Thanks to neighbor Rob good. You didn't

3:03

use your air compressor I did not use my air compressor.

3:05

A lot of people gave you a bunch of crap for

3:07

that. They 100% did Even

3:09

got the cabot stained from Fradilonis. It was

3:11

it was awesome. It went on it. It

3:14

looks beautiful Perfect. It was a

3:16

lot more work than I initially thought it

3:18

was going to be You got that done,

3:20

but I got her done to the point

3:22

where we could now tonight after baseball Sit

3:25

on the deck really with

3:27

the furniture now assembled and

3:29

then have the laptop where we

3:31

can watch the NFL draft Magical

3:37

moment so I forget where I was going with

3:39

that But yes, I know that

3:41

that's my so my my my tiny bit of

3:43

a rant is I've been hearing you know All

3:45

the talking heads both nationally

3:49

More importantly locally sure talking about what

3:52

are the Vikings going to do? And

3:55

I'm just here to say one thing If

3:58

you've been listening to anybody, The

4:00

anybody. Know

4:02

know what? Normally hulu, they all wanna

4:05

make you think they do because that's

4:07

ten of their job to make sure

4:09

I think that they're on the inside.

4:11

But anyone that thinks with are offering

4:13

up an opinion based upon inside sources,

4:15

they're all being lied to right now

4:17

and I played and I want us

4:19

to and I am a Vikings fan

4:22

or I'm interested in the future direction

4:24

of the teams. However, if you're going

4:26

to sacrifice. For draft picks

4:28

for a quarterback, bit may or may

4:30

not be okay. He that's

4:32

a bad decision because you're not going to

4:34

be very good next year. Pseudonymous? Yeah. Okay,

4:36

so I wanted to get outta with that

4:39

the South that that's your rant, what I'm

4:41

wondering. So I listen to a little bit

4:43

of our Paul Allen this morning. right?

4:46

And I. Think. That

4:49

because Paul Allen is such a room

4:51

any so close to the action with

4:53

the Vikings that he would actually know

4:56

something that other prognosticators do not know.

4:58

but it works out to be as

5:00

he usually doesn't know. But how could

5:02

he said it's not a small I

5:05

don't know. this is it Me Ripping

5:07

Paw? Why would they mention at the

5:09

Paul? This is because every team is

5:12

doing this. where if there if if

5:14

if there is leaking some type of

5:16

information to a media source. Am

5:18

they want that author for reserve? They're

5:20

joking them as upon me that would

5:23

be crazy for crazy to leak any

5:25

things. I see what he did that

5:27

I say I said his name. queasy.

5:29

I see much as I just can't

5:31

get over that. What is? It is

5:33

a exciting time. i know some

5:36

of the thread back invited me to some are

5:38

viewing party smell a rat i and i thought

5:40

it was are two days ago so that just

5:42

lets you know how important the draft is danny

5:44

gotta have no idea when it actually is a

5:46

so i was i was that net a bar

5:48

and that account down and it's had forty eight

5:51

on it started with forty eight as at all

5:53

the draft stars and forty minutes he's like no

5:55

no forty eight hours like or are you kidding

5:57

me they're they're counting down from forty eight hours

5:59

old longer than that really the

6:01

ESPN counter and the only reason I

6:04

know that is Again,

6:06

morning time my my sons like to flip on

6:08

ESPN to see the highlight because I you know

6:10

I let them stay up to watch some of

6:12

the basketball and whatnot sure but it when it's

6:14

a school night You got to get to bed.

6:16

Yeah, you got some of those West Coast games

6:18

They want to watch the recap in the morning

6:20

and I I said the other day said

6:23

well We got a counter from 96 hours

6:25

or whatever the hell it is for the for

6:27

the big draft celebration What

6:30

ESPN sports commentary show does

6:32

the guy stand up and always wears muscle

6:34

man shirts? Do you know what I'm talking

6:36

about? Excuse me, that would be

6:38

Pat McAfee at McAfee He whenever

6:40

I see a guy inside wearing a shirt like

6:42

that. I just think of sweaty

6:44

smells He just looks sweaty. He's not

6:46

a horrible looking guy But when

6:48

you wear shirts that don't have like a

6:51

piece of cloth touching your armpit Yeah, does

6:53

he just sweat all damn day long probably

6:55

but that's the I guess now to go

6:57

on a completely different direction I

7:00

blame them solely for what has become

7:02

the the format of Let's

7:05

put six people on different cameras

7:07

and let's let them yell at each other all I talk all

7:09

at the same time to which I guess

7:12

there's a market for that because they wouldn't

7:14

be doing it because they have Researchers

7:16

upon researchers that are telling you this

7:19

is what the people want It's not

7:21

my cup of tea But obviously there

7:23

are others that that do want to

7:25

watch that does that pat McAfee show

7:27

does that get played? on score north

7:30

Exclusively TV. I know I think it's

7:33

exclusively TV But he did have before

7:35

he signed a huge contract with

7:37

ESPN. He did have a Massive

7:40

platform. I mean we're talking Joe

7:43

Rogan millions of subscribers and followers. Yeah,

7:45

he should put on a regular shirt

7:48

It's gross looking that's part of his mystique. Yeah,

7:50

but it's gross. Okay, you just know we wait

7:52

and I'm fine with a guy wearing a Muck

7:55

I Can't think of the name. the muscle shirt. The

7:57

muscle man shirt right? I Don't want to use the

7:59

other. The I don't like about yeah that yeah

8:01

and I am. I find you were those outside in

8:03

the summertime you walk around but you're gonna sweat and

8:05

you know you're in a sweat. But.

8:08

He's inside and he's got a gold watch

8:10

on him. I don't need a watch. gold

8:12

watch on when you're were know to destroy

8:14

us are enormously. I just think the best

8:16

part of the meet? the weeks. That's maybe

8:18

that's why we need to do here, Maybe

8:20

that. So even though we're a podcast of

8:22

the audio currently soon maybe we should start

8:24

doing muscle shirts. Yup I'm gonna go ahead

8:26

and to say that that's what I'm gonna

8:28

do everyday are and everyone were of I'll

8:30

have to go buy gold watch com. I

8:32

want to go in couple of different

8:34

directions here first. Ah, let's address the

8:36

frat pack. Five thousand One hundred. Fact:

8:39

I saw his hundred had my just

8:41

as not been. I feel sorry. So

8:43

I'm on a currently and I do

8:45

love the fact that the the the

8:47

photo components has come along to where

8:49

I'm I'm looking at people posting all

8:51

sorts of stuff. Yup, I love the

8:53

fact that I got to watch a

8:55

photo. Of a guy planting corn

8:58

in South Dakota because our me out

9:00

that's home getting the even I'm not

9:02

from South Dakota but cornfields and in

9:04

the country that that's I love that

9:06

stuff like that's why I love with

9:08

all of the different tentacles of the

9:10

frat pack. Five Hour and a few

9:12

messages saying that jails been talking about

9:14

doing this forever case because they wanted

9:16

a map to see where all the

9:18

dealers were from the uprights wealth of

9:20

a threat that five thousand is not

9:22

a deal property right? That's his me

9:24

try to give five thousand bodies right?

9:26

right? But it's really cool because now

9:28

we see we're all of our listeners lives

9:30

and ninety nine percent of our listeners are

9:32

jealous. Nurse right? See A So it's just

9:34

so cool Seen like people are all over

9:36

the place. So many people in the south,

9:38

so many people retired, so many corvette, so

9:41

many colds Rock vs it's really incredible. The

9:43

the this one was really really really need

9:45

and I have to give a Jonathan Lax

9:47

and credit against Fret Pack five thousand on

9:49

Facebook. It's a group all your to do

9:51

is it is add either one of us

9:53

and then get as to be invited him

9:55

and Michael or. whoa let's you and it's

9:58

really cool sounds like some head an

10:00

unbelievable sunrise photo

10:03

yesterday in Ely. And

10:06

it was crystal clear, it

10:08

was damn that's a cool

10:10

photo. You get

10:12

me with sunrises and sunset photos every single time.

10:14

I had a couple of real old ladies shooting

10:16

guns which is funny too. I missed that one.

10:18

I shouldn't say that because they're frat packers, I

10:20

don't care how old they are but it was

10:22

kind of neat that they're out at the range

10:24

and they have to be 70 years old. Maybe

10:26

I might be making that up on their age,

10:28

I'm forgetting but I thought, oh, that's pretty cool.

10:31

We got a cornucopia of personalities.

10:33

I love the fact too that it's

10:35

because the hint that it becomes in

10:38

the 50s, 60s and 70s, even

10:40

though we haven't had that bad of a winter and have had

10:42

a lot of 60s and 70s throughout the

10:45

course of February and March, I love the

10:47

fact that any time we're outside grilling meat,

10:50

we got to have it. We

10:52

have to put, whether it's our grunt hoppers or whatever

10:54

we're having on, we've got to show a photo

10:57

of that because we all get jealous of it and

10:59

we're all the same. We

11:01

all want to post that photo just like

11:03

everybody else. We are not bragging on

11:05

a frat pack. Let me restate

11:07

this. When we post something on the frat pack, we're

11:10

not being braggadocious as posters. What we're doing

11:12

is trying to show people who we are

11:14

so 5,000 other people can

11:16

become our friends. Correct. This

11:19

is not someone bragging, oh, I'm down in Texas and

11:21

it's real warm down here. They're not bragging. They're

11:23

saying, hey, I'm from Texas. If you happen

11:25

to drive through Texas, stop in and I'll

11:27

buy you a beer because that's what they're

11:29

trying to do. So don't think anybody's being

11:31

braggadocious. Think of people being cool because these

11:33

are all our friends. Everybody in the

11:36

frat pack, and especially now the frat pack group, all 700

11:38

plus of them in the group, are

11:40

just wanting to get more buddies and have more friends

11:42

and they're doing it. So I'm seeing

11:44

a video for the first time and it involves

11:46

you. Yeah. What was I doing?

11:48

You were at Bogie's in

11:51

Mendota Heights. Yeah, Bogie's in Mendota Heights. Watching

11:53

some live music. I was. Every

11:55

Monday night at Bogie's is The

11:57

Blues Night, right? No way. Yeah.

12:00

So cool about Reverse is you have a sign

12:02

up seat and like all I want to play

12:04

guitar the next song and then you go and

12:06

I'd really love to see a joke. Come in

12:08

and play the drums because they have a drum

12:10

set up there for you. And then

12:12

a guy comes any sign up as a I'd

12:14

like to play the drums for three songs and

12:16

he would have the know some of these guys

12:18

as a do you know the song read it

12:21

be my now know them all I think many

12:23

of the men and women that play in the

12:25

band's there were musicians for. Fifty. Years. Cool

12:27

and calm and had that. there was one guy.

12:29

he looks like the president of three. him and

12:31

his plan the harmonica so hard and so great

12:34

of like how cool is this how good stats

12:36

on that but he's on Monday night can be

12:38

a really a lot of fun that's and a

12:40

very cool is going there watch and it's free

12:43

and and it's it's just a really fun place.

12:45

You don't you? You need to invade him. You

12:47

need to make Joe. Com. And play

12:49

the drums a tone or biological be really cool. It's

12:51

one thing if I do it. He'll actually

12:53

listen I you apprised if he doesn't know about

12:56

it because it seems like it would be right

12:58

up his alley. Want to play fifteen songs read?

13:00

He just would say I want to practice one

13:02

song. I'd like to go play the drums. I

13:05

think it's good for people to keep doing that

13:07

night we have and it is funny because some

13:09

of the guys in the band's rights. You can

13:11

see guys that look like they're Ceos of companies

13:13

and their guys that look like by out of

13:16

the hit and miss a thing or the right

13:18

idea in law right? See I think wow how

13:20

cool is that that they've like they're sticking to

13:22

that eighties guy. You know, Rock and roll Blue

13:24

thing as like. well that's I think of Johnny

13:27

Hi to go there and play guitar on for

13:29

sure hours. The I know every single song for

13:31

Surface I'm. So. What's

13:34

go? An email or games Because

13:36

I did get more suggestions on

13:38

the nickname I should apply to

13:40

ah my wife because you had

13:43

said we should do this in

13:45

the form of the Cp with

13:47

Joe and his wife being the

13:49

chief procure and Patrick having the

13:51

D the domestic associate arms. I've

13:53

got some more emails, one of

13:55

which I can't repeat of the

13:57

show email. It's very funny. I'm

14:00

rhyming with Reavers,

14:04

starts with a B, but I'm not

14:06

going to go with that one, even though thank

14:08

you very much, Glenn. I do appreciate that. I

14:10

don't think she'd appreciate that email or that nickname,

14:13

I should say. But I want

14:15

to give you this one. This one comes to us from loyal

14:18

GL listener and weekly scramble

14:20

listener, Steve Mulholland. Okay. Hi,

14:23

Chris. I've been a loyal fan for quite some

14:25

time. As well as

14:27

a loyal weekly scrambler listening, going back to

14:29

the beer show days. I really look forward

14:31

to the podcast each and every week as

14:33

you and Mr. Fradiloni are always entertaining and

14:36

engaging. It's definitely appointment listening for me right

14:38

along with GL. As for

14:40

your significant other's nickname, I wanted to offer

14:42

up the suggestion for you. I've often heard

14:44

you say that you are frequently being told

14:46

that you have outkicked your coverage. Yes,

14:49

Steve. Oh, okay. I have. I

14:52

like where he's going. Break this down. That

14:54

would make you the place kicker. And

14:58

you could draw the analogy that your wife

15:00

is on the coverage team. So

15:02

I propose the nickname KT

15:04

or the KT for kicking

15:06

team as her new nickname. You

15:09

can even pronounce it like Katie.

15:12

Should you choose? Thanks for all that you

15:14

do and for the great listening, Steve Mulholland. That's

15:17

not bad. I kind of like that a

15:19

lot. It's well thought out. But

15:22

would she be on the receiving team? She

15:25

would be RT. Not lately. Boom,

15:28

boom, boom. So

15:32

let me think of another one. I like that one. Okay. But

15:35

her name is Jess. Your last name is Reverse. Yes. So

15:38

we could call her Junior or JR. JR's

15:41

not bad. Remember how big JR was?

15:44

JR Ewing? Yeah. Right? I

15:47

don't think she'd go. She's kind of a western girl. Yeah. Yeah.

15:52

Or you could call her Ewing. Although would

15:54

that spark up like is there something? I

15:57

Never dated a Katie before. So I Don't think there's

15:59

any of that. But it bears not a

16:01

the other people would start thinking her name's

16:03

Katie hear that ceiling I'm worried about but

16:05

I'd love the angel of it because he's

16:07

one hundred percent right away on a time

16:09

I got really is this gonna get you

16:11

or me into trouble so cast spells offend

16:13

plans by almost I have. My wife is

16:15

a smoke so. right? We know that

16:18

of percent super beautiful Way out of my

16:20

league right? Yes. But sometimes she gets to

16:22

a little jealous and I looked at i

16:24

think. That. Would you possibly

16:26

be jealous of the fray? Like what? what?

16:29

What? World Do you believe that I

16:31

18:26

Why is Taylor texting you? No,

18:29

18:32

why but but why is she texting you

18:34

while we're what why? She's not texting me.

18:36

This is the song that's coming up And

18:39

then I would look at her I would

18:41

have to look at her. I'm acting now. We're breaking it down now

18:43

in this script I'd have to look at her and say Why

18:46

would no girl would ever text me? She's

18:49

gonna kill both of us. I had to beg you to go

18:51

out with me after like eight months Do

18:54

you think I'm giving up what I got for Gabby

18:56

Robinson or some uh, you know I do

18:58

to give her a little bit of price

19:00

and why is a sub line of her

19:03

texting? Is it over now? It's

19:06

a really song I could think of my dealer

19:08

swim with all fairness to her Yeah, it really

19:10

does look like I'm getting a text from the

19:12

person the way it comes up It's and she

19:14

didn't I didn't know this person's name. It was

19:16

like Cindy Johnson or something Like I

19:19

was our guy it was Gabby something and I think

19:21

her sister's name is Gabby So she saw it like

19:23

wait, what's what? So

19:26

I can see how her brain Gabby

19:28

Hartnett Maybe yeah, I

19:30

don't honest god I have no idea who

19:32

it was But it was she I can

19:35

see how she could think that But

19:37

then she just has to use one

19:39

second of power of deduction and say

19:41

why would I even care? Because if

19:43

a woman's texting him it's probably scheduling

19:46

his next colonoscopy that old fart or

19:48

whatever it would possibly be But it

19:50

would never be somebody saying hey Mike

19:52

Gabby Hartnett was a American League baseball

19:54

player. That is not Okay,

19:57

now she's gonna be bad at me. Yeah I

20:00

shift focus for her being mad at you love you, honey,

20:03

and she's my pick right right person in charge She

20:06

tells me I get this she won't I don't

20:08

use it around her okay good So but okay

20:10

keep them coming, but I do like to KT

20:13

But I think she's on the receiving team so

20:15

should be our tea on your I'd have to call

20:17

her Ryback on your way home Don't don't do

20:19

that on your way home. You should pick up some

20:21

harmony spirit Oh, yeah, because that way you'll mend the

20:24

fence now that we have also destroyed in addition to

20:26

that Harmony spirits is the

20:28

official spirits of us here at the weekly

20:30

scramble. We are so happy to have them back in

20:33

the mix They've been a proud

20:35

supporter of this program of garage logic and so

20:37

many of the things that we have done here

20:39

over the years And we're so happy to continue

20:41

to have helped them along their path to continue

20:43

to grow their brand in fact I was just

20:45

talking to one of the sales guys And

20:48

I'm heading down to the Iowa area right

20:50

around Memorial Day weekend So I'm 100% gonna

20:52

make sure that I stop it at the

20:54

tasting room It's yeah, is it

20:56

further down the way in southern, Minnesota

20:58

of course, but it's also a beautiful

21:00

part of the state So if you're in

21:03

that area It's worth the drive because it's

21:05

absolutely stunning if you happen to be

21:07

going in and they have the great rotating Craft

21:09

cocktail menu right there at the tasting room But

21:11

the biggest thing that you could do is continue

21:14

to go into your local liquor store like so

21:16

many of you have and continue To ask

21:18

for the Harmony brand by name so if you're

21:20

driving through Rochester you stop at Apollo liquor in

21:22

the shops on Main Street Shopping Center,

21:25

okay, it's called okay, and you go ahead and

21:27

you talk to two people there Sarah

21:29

and Esten oh Cuz they own that shop cool,

21:31

and they sell harmony and I talked talked to

21:33

Larry the guy who owns harmony Yeah, and I

21:35

said tell me where I get this stuff around

21:37

here Yeah, and so each week when we do

21:39

one of these he's gonna send me out a

21:41

list of people who said hey Talk about this

21:44

Rochester shop Apollo liquors because Sarah and Esten are

21:46

two great people where is it in Russia on?

21:49

Shops on main shopping. It's called. I think that

21:51

isn't that red a 14. I'm

21:53

almost positive that is I think I know exactly where that is

21:55

well. It must be a good liquor store because they know what

21:58

they're doing That's the only good thing about Rochester by

22:00

the way, as a kid that grew up in Fairville,

22:02

screw Rochester except for Apollo. Okay, Apollo lickers. Got it.

22:05

Okay, and so if you do this, if you

22:07

happen to be in Rochester and you go pick

22:09

up some Harmony and you stop at Apollo, say

22:12

hello to Sarah and Esten because Sarah and Esten

22:14

need to know that they make a difference by

22:16

carrying Harmony. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, thank you. Also,

22:18

go to their website, harmoniesperits.net. You can see whether

22:20

they have upcoming events and things like that. They

22:22

also have a really cool Twitter account, at Harmony

22:24

Spirits on Twitter, but like we said, go into

22:26

the Taster Room, stop and say hi to Larry

22:29

and the entire crew and let them know

22:31

that you heard about them on the

22:33

weekly Scramble Podcast. All right, I

22:35

have another email and it refers to a subject matter that

22:37

we brought up last week and this might be our Fix

22:40

It With Frat portion of our segment because-

22:42

I got another one we can fix it with Frat

22:44

because I have a story that I think is poorly

22:46

written. Well, because I don't remember this, but I know

22:48

you will because your memory is better than mine. I

22:53

think I'm going to pronounce this word correctly. Hey Reeves,

22:56

love the show and the banter between you and

22:58

Frat. Just listen to last week's Scramble and

23:00

you guys were talking about Milorganite.

23:05

Milorganite, thank you. A little movie fun

23:08

fact, the equipment shed that

23:10

Carl Spackler, Bill Murray on

23:12

Caddyshack, lived in was

23:14

full of Milorganite bags.

23:18

Not many people would even know what Milorganite

23:20

is, but I always thought it

23:23

was both subtle and extremely clever

23:25

that they used a fertilizer that

23:28

was repurposed poop from Milwaukeeans. Cheers,

23:30

that's from Greg Emfield. That is

23:32

really funny. I

23:34

know everything about Caddyshack and I did not know that.

23:37

You didn't notice that it's Milorganite in Caddyshack. Greg, those

23:39

are the emails that I love to death, so thank

23:41

you. That one's going to correlate to this one. Oh.

23:46

Wait, before you move on, I'm so sorry. Yeah, sorry. But

23:48

why did it come up? Help me remind me. We

23:50

were just talking about how good Milorganite is to

23:52

use as a fertilizer and how

23:54

we think it's funny that Chris Eggert on

23:56

the Minnesota Live said- That's what it is.

24:00

night and all about how it's made for

24:02

Milwaukee's finest. Okay, okay, I couldn't remember but

24:04

I knew you would so thank you. I

24:06

thank you for everything. Okay, you know how

24:09

Joe Sichry from the Garage Logic podcast

24:12

always says, and you guys always say

24:14

that reporting isn't what it used

24:16

to be. Yes. Right? So

24:19

I'm going to read you this headline and then I'm going to tell you

24:21

why I think this one went

24:23

too far. It gave too

24:25

many details, right? Okay. So

24:28

I'm going to read it just the way ProPublica

24:31

is talking about it and

24:33

it says, gay, Spanish,

24:36

politician with left-wing

24:38

governing party resigns

24:40

after photos circulate showing

24:42

him eating his own

24:46

malorganite. Malorganite, I

24:48

just thought I'd throw that in there.

24:50

Wow. But when I read that

24:52

I thought this is something.

24:55

Where was this taking place? I'm sorry. It's

24:58

Spain. Okay. But

25:00

this is a story that both sides

25:02

can get behind, right? Meaning

25:06

I don't care that he's gay. I

25:08

don't care that he's left-wing. I

25:11

care that photos are circulating

25:13

of him eating his own malorganite.

25:16

Malorganite. Yeah. And I

25:18

think there's a fine balance and maybe Joe would

25:20

agree with me that sometimes all the details don't

25:22

matter. I don't care that he's gay. I

25:25

don't care that he's left-wing. I just care

25:27

that he's a left, not

25:29

a left-wing, but a governing party member

25:33

and he gets caught with photos.

25:36

What has the world come to? Then I read

25:38

a story, a reverse, part two of this story.

25:41

A guy wrote a story about how leave

25:43

these people alone. What they do in their

25:46

own time is their business. It's like bull

25:49

crap. Right. Bull crap.

25:51

If you have a nutcase eating

25:53

his own malorganite, something

25:55

is really wrong. Right? So

25:57

I just thought that was an interesting thing that we didn't.

26:00

need to say gay in this. No. We didn't need

26:02

to say left-wing. Didn't matter. Right? It didn't matter. Nothing

26:04

about it mattered other than the fact he

26:07

has a weird proclivity. Well, the

26:09

only thing that could have made that more embarrassing

26:11

is if he had broken into his own stepmother's

26:14

home and pretended

26:16

that that stepmother was suffering from

26:18

dementia and they were trying to

26:20

rob them blind but then saying well they didn't

26:23

remember who I was at 1.45 in the morning.

26:25

Think about that. That was a Minnesota

26:27

state senator? Yep. Or a state representative.

26:30

I can't remember. That is a weird

26:32

story. Well, yeah, it's weird because she

26:34

lied out of her malorganizing.

26:37

So did you guys talk about that

26:39

on the Well, okay, so I'm

26:42

glad you brought that up. We addressed it.

26:44

So here's how it works and a lot of

26:46

people don't understand kind

26:48

of how the inner

26:51

workings of breaking

26:53

news tends to work especially with

26:55

us being a podcast. Meaning we

26:57

have a little bit more time

26:59

to kind of vet things

27:01

out and figure out okay what's the details

27:04

is this worth bringing up. We

27:06

need to know more information and so when

27:09

it first surfaced I saw it

27:12

almost instantly when it was first reported

27:14

and I brought it up

27:16

during a break so the town council members did

27:18

hear me mention it to the crew and

27:21

Joe said well let's just wait because we

27:23

don't want to be the ones that are

27:25

rushing to judgment because Joe has really

27:28

good journalistic not

27:31

only integrity but instincts. He just does.

27:33

He's so good that he could maybe

27:35

even find the St. Paul Pioneer Press's

27:37

office building if he needed to go

27:39

there. He could maybe even find that.

27:42

He's so investigative. But I'll say a

27:44

specific example. Years ago remember the Covington

27:47

Catholic High School kid with the

27:49

Native Americans and everyone went I

27:51

can't believe they were talking and

27:53

Joe said these kids

27:55

so his take was instantly what

27:57

these kids weren't doing anything wrong.

28:00

We all went, oh you can't go with it on the air. Well, he was

28:02

100% right. You know, we all went Oh

28:04

my god, but why were we questioning it? Just

28:07

because he's covered every angle of

28:09

news for a long time No,

28:11

god. No the 48-hour rule goes way way back.

28:13

In fact, that's a good question. I should ask

28:15

him What was the original? What

28:17

was the genesis of the 48-hour rule? Maybe they had

28:19

maybe they had said something that's a good call. We

28:22

shouldn't have done that We had to give it the

28:24

48-hour rule. You know what? I am going to ask

28:26

him that on tomorrow's show cuz that's a great question

28:28

What what was the origination of the 48-hour rule? You

28:30

know who will remember? Rookie. Rookie.

28:32

Yeah, 100%. He has a weird memory. Really

28:35

dumb and useless stuff. That's why we love him.

28:38

Anyway, a little bit behind the same before you

28:40

go cuz I'm gonna take it as a fan,

28:42

right? Yep. Do you guys prep

28:44

rookie to say hey rookie I'm gonna ask you a

28:46

question about a video that you did or a segment

28:49

we did. No. No. It's just he knows That's

28:52

Dave Johnson from and here's why you

28:54

don't prep rookie whether it's On

28:57

something like that or whether you're trying to get

28:59

him to do a bit You

29:01

can't fill his head with head with information.

29:03

Really? You have to spring it on him

29:05

Okay, and that's when you get the

29:08

best most authentic rookie

29:10

rookie reaction because he

29:12

his improv skills are

29:15

Almost second to none. He's so clever and

29:17

but you can't prep him for any of that stuff Because

29:20

it gets weighed down by thought. Oh, got it. That's

29:22

something a really bad insult, but I think you know

29:24

what I meant at all No, I mean some guys

29:26

are really quick on their feet. He's one of them.

29:29

Yeah, like he's definitely quick Can't give him too much

29:31

time. Okay. Okay. Good. Okay. That's good to know. I'd

29:33

love it. We should have Him

29:36

do segments on this show every once in a

29:38

while. Okay, we'll try that sometimes so he's long

29:40

gone out of here Oh, yeah, it's not even

29:42

close. So the reason I was

29:44

bringing up that particular story is of course we

29:46

got Once the show

29:48

had been done and you know We get

29:50

a lot of email in reaction to either

29:53

what was discussed event of the day You

29:55

know, we have a decent sized audience so

29:57

we get a lot of feedback for and

29:59

some people were accusing us of,

30:01

well, you guys didn't bring that

30:03

up because she happened to be

30:05

a former employee here. Well,

30:07

that had nothing to do with it. I didn't know

30:09

that. She used to do weather downstairs at Channel 5.

30:12

Well, that had nothing to do with it. It was,

30:14

well, we've got to wait to see what's the full

30:16

story here. And then lo and behold, what

30:19

she initially told police officers

30:22

was completely different

30:24

than the BS statement that

30:26

she issued on social media. I don't want to

30:28

rain on her parade or, you know, but when

30:30

she stormed into her mother-in-law's house, like whipping through

30:33

all that paperwork like a tornado, see what I'm

30:35

doing? Like she was a weather girl. Yeah,

30:38

it's a weird story. Why would you go

30:40

to your ex-mother-in-law's house or was it her

30:42

current mother-in-law's house? I believe,

30:44

well, her father passed away. Okay,

30:47

so it's her mother-in-law. So it would be

30:49

her, no, it would be her stepmother's house.

30:52

Okay. In which her father used to reside and

30:54

she had claims she was trying to get her ashes, ashes,

30:57

excuse me, and stepmother and

30:59

said, well, you already own them. Or you

31:01

already possess them, excuse me. To the point

31:03

where I was given this text that said,

31:06

hey, everybody, I need to go visit my

31:08

mom. She's in memory

31:11

care. So does anyone have a black turtleneck

31:13

or set of lock picking tools that I can borrow?

31:15

Is that what you had with her? Really?

31:19

Oh, that, that, and she was dressed in all black. Okay,

31:21

that was left her home at one o'clock in the morning

31:23

and drove two and a half hours to

31:26

get to this particular estate. Really? So

31:28

it was just spur of the moment. Yeah, you know, she didn't

31:30

think that out at all. She just was going right from the

31:32

bar to, because maybe she was at a goth bar dressed all

31:34

in black. Could have been. And then she said, I'm going to

31:36

roll down to wherever that is and see if I can just

31:39

break into my past mother-in-law's

31:41

house. All right, so I got to fix

31:43

it with Fret organic

31:46

questions for you. And it

31:48

stems from something that

31:50

a good friend of mine is going through. And

31:53

I'm going to say, well, how do

31:55

I react deal? So bear with me.

31:57

I'll hear you. So a friend

31:59

of mine. lives in the sustainable

32:01

urban core. I'm not gonna

32:03

name the city, I'm not gonna name the area. He

32:06

is one that, he is a live and

32:08

let live guy. He is, I

32:10

am trying to be one with all.

32:12

I don't want neighbors to fight. I

32:15

wanna hug everybody. Okay. And

32:17

this was, I believe, two or

32:19

three weeks ago, the next

32:22

door neighbor was starting

32:24

to construct something towards the

32:27

very back of his backyard that

32:29

kind of butted up against my

32:31

friend's backyard. Okay. And

32:33

he was kind of taking note, like, oh, I'm

32:36

just gonna use his name. Jim's up to something, no

32:38

big deal. So later

32:40

that day they were chatting up, hey, how you doing?

32:42

How are the kids? How's Timmy's baseball team? You know,

32:44

things like that. Well, my friend

32:47

discovered that the next door neighbor was

32:49

building a pretty large, I would say,

32:52

15 by 50 or 10 by 15 compost. Oh.

32:58

But butted up right next to the yard. You know,

33:00

the no fensives or whatever. Sure, sure. And he said,

33:02

oh, what do you guys got to go to? You

33:04

building a garden or something? He goes, no, no, no.

33:06

Cheryl, again, making up names. Cheryl wants

33:09

a compost bin. And he

33:11

went, oh. Because,

33:13

you know, it's mother earth, live

33:15

and let live. It's organic, let's get rid

33:17

of stuff naturally. But you know

33:19

what that attracts? Sure. Varmint.

33:22

Varmint. And think. And

33:24

a lot of things you don't want associated to

33:26

your yard. So he doesn't really know where to

33:28

stamp. Not on the compost bin. Like you get

33:30

away from that. Well, that is gross. But I

33:33

don't know what is that something where you need to

33:36

go to the it is technically

33:38

it's your yard. Yeah,

33:40

I mean, lightening a huge fire. And I'm not

33:42

trying to do it. It's his yard, right? I

33:44

think you should be able to do within reason

33:47

what you want to do in your yard. Of

33:49

course. But logic says that people are stupid. And

33:51

people will build a 15 by 10 foot compost,

33:53

which first of all, you can't use that much

33:55

compost. You can't. I don't even know what a

33:57

that's the thing. I told him I said. I

34:00

don't even know what the proper size compost because

34:02

I remember my folks had one but

34:04

we lived out in the country. We sell them

34:06

reverse that are like 30 gallon

34:08

things that sit on the spindle. So

34:11

you put your eggs, your eggshells, your

34:13

coffee, your leaves in there and then

34:15

you flip it over

34:17

and it spins on an axle and it

34:20

flips over and then it just it all

34:22

kind of compost and becomes dirt again, right?

34:24

Oh, I break down. This is all, I

34:27

knew, I knew I could bring this up

34:29

with you. Bin is bin, it gets real hot, right? But it's

34:31

a small bin. It's the size of like a half a 55

34:33

gallon drum. It really gets hot. What do

34:35

you mean? Like because the fermentation of like it's starting to

34:37

ferment in there. Oh, so it's enclosed. Yeah, it's totally enclosed.

34:39

It has a big cap that you, so it doesn't stink

34:41

because it's in there. But a

34:43

standard homeowner to build that big of

34:46

compost pit, I mean, how much compost

34:48

do you have? Or are you

34:50

trying to bury a body? Like what do you do with that?

34:52

I don't know. I think I would make one

34:54

of those calls to the city and

34:56

say, it seems weird. And they

34:58

did, because you know, in Minneapolis, if the person lived in

35:00

Minneapolis, they could just dial 4-1-1, right? Or

35:03

is it 3-1-1? There's something about, there's one

35:05

of those numbers in Minneapolis. You just call and

35:07

you report, like if someone's killing you or

35:10

stealing your car, you can call. Or

35:12

they'll still answer only at 3-1-1. So

35:15

you pick one of those numbers. And then if someone's

35:17

making a compost pit, you might say, I don't know

35:19

if that fits the theme of

35:21

the neighborhood, of the neighbor. And

35:24

yeah, I think how it's, to

35:26

be a good neighbor, sometimes you have to

35:28

say, I don't think that's going to fly. Let's

35:31

do something different. So you, okay, you took

35:34

this segment and enhanced it to a degree

35:36

that I didn't realize this

35:39

was a thing people bought. Yeah, because

35:41

you know why? It's like a 50-gallon

35:43

drum. It's like a 55-gallon, a big

35:45

drum, I'm not sure exactly what size

35:47

it is, with screws in the perfect

35:49

middle of it. So it spins on

35:51

an axis, right? So it has caps

35:53

on both sides. So you can load

35:55

it from the top or the bottom or flip it over and then

35:58

the top becomes the bottom and the bottom becomes the top. right?

36:00

So you're, you're flipped because you can't, when you

36:02

build a compost pile, you can't just put a

36:04

bunch of stuff in a pile. You have to

36:06

flip it over and work it, work the compost

36:08

pile, or it doesn't, oh, it doesn't break down

36:10

all the way. I'm blown away.

36:12

But what are you going to do? I mean, how

36:14

much dirt does one need? Well, that's

36:16

a stitch. So what do you, what do you

36:18

do with the, the, the rotating drama?

36:20

You empty it out and

36:22

it's great dirt, right? It's highly organic,

36:25

uh, nutrient filled dirt. So you'd use that

36:27

to plant tomatoes. You could, but then you'd

36:29

have to be very careful because if you

36:32

used it to plant tomatoes and it wasn't

36:34

totally through its process and there was like

36:36

some food that maybe now is bacterial laden,

36:38

you don't want that to go into cause

36:40

you don't want salmonella. No. Right. Hypothetically you

36:42

could get salmonella for something like that. This

36:44

is, I love this segment. I love

36:46

fixing with Fred. The vast majority of what I just

36:48

set up. You know what? It sounds right. People listening

36:50

are going to believe you. And

36:53

I, and I think most people who are

36:55

listening would be like, he's close enough. Like

36:57

he gets the, he just not willing to,

36:59

like I was going to send that email.

37:01

You know what? He's 51% accurate. That's one

37:03

thing. I really believe that the fine people

37:05

at GL, you guys have an accuracy rate

37:07

well into the B plus a minus zone,

37:09

right? You guys are really accurate. You know

37:11

what? We're still going to graduate with honors.

37:13

Yeah. You're still going to graduate. You still get to have

37:15

that little extra gold thing around your robe. Okay. 51%. We

37:17

just have to be 51% or more. Right. And, and,

37:23

and be passionate about our argument. But

37:26

then at the end say, I don't really know. I

37:28

don't know. You know, I love when Joe does that.

37:30

I don't know. Right. I, I, someone's

37:32

going to email me that does that. That

37:34

someone's going to let us know how a

37:36

compost pile works. And then let's do seven

37:38

to eight minutes on it for our next

37:40

show. Okay. Because people will really love and

37:42

find that entertainment. I, I, I'm, I'm so

37:45

glad I brought this up. The frat packers

37:47

should start taking pictures of their compost pile

37:49

and posting them. We're starting. We're going to

37:51

start doing themes of the week. Oh, that's

37:53

not a bad idea. Compost bin for this

37:55

week is going to be posted in the

37:57

frat pack. That's a good idea. If you

37:59

have. a good compost bin, throw a picture up

38:01

there of it, and say hey here's my compost bin.

38:03

And also let me know, again, this is not the,

38:06

we had one as kids but we were out in

38:08

the country where no one gave a damn. That was

38:10

your burn pit or your trash pile. It probably was,

38:12

yeah. Throw some tires in there too. Sure, you don't

38:14

care. But in the sustainable urban core, you didn't want

38:16

to, you don't want to, at least

38:18

I don't want to upset anybody living in close proximity

38:21

to you. No, you can't do that. It would be

38:23

like damn. To do it in your yard. Yeah. You

38:26

would never like let someone do that. And if I was

38:28

going to her, if she wanted to, the, if KT,

38:31

if the KT, the KT, or the Rt,

38:38

the receiving team, because

38:40

if you're out kicking your coverage, right,

38:43

you're the KK. Yeah, I am the kicking

38:45

team. So she would be the receiving team. So if the Rt,

38:50

you wish, if

38:52

the Rt wanted to build said compost

38:54

bin, I would, it would immediately go

38:56

to the neighbor and say, Hey, is

38:58

this cool? Because again, you don't want

39:00

the critter. Guess what

39:02

I saw? I'm sorry. I'm getting way

39:05

off track here and I don't run out of time. Okay.

39:08

Calm yourself. Yes. Behave

39:10

yourself. I'm breathing.

39:13

We have a, in my backyard, there's a

39:15

little stream next to that behind

39:17

a neighbor Rob's house is a

39:19

nice pond. I

39:21

was washing dishes. This

39:23

was a bit, this would have been about a week and a half

39:25

ago before I got the dishwasher installed and

39:28

the fine folks at Warner Stillion did a

39:30

fantastic job. And then he

39:32

also said, Hey, where'd you get that

39:34

awesome water system? Because I've never seen

39:36

water. That's great. That's 100% true. And

39:38

I said, offer them a water.com. I

39:41

was washing dishes and I said, what, what is

39:43

that? That's not a raccoon. That's

39:46

way too, I'm not kidding. It

39:48

was a beaver. Triple B.

39:50

Massive. And he was grabbing stuff,

39:52

you know, stick them whatnot to

39:54

go build. I said, hot

39:57

in the pond area. I couldn't. believe it. I'm

39:59

in Jordan freaking Minnesota. You yell to your wife,

40:02

look at there's a big black beaver. Well I

40:04

was home by myself, but I was screaming, oh

40:06

my god, this is stupid. But

40:08

no one could hear me except for the stupid cat. And

40:11

you didn't say, look at that beaver and your kids kept running

40:13

out. Where is she? No, because they were already at school. You

40:15

see what I'm, I'm coming up with a line. I tried to,

40:17

tried to get you to do it. I tried to, tried to

40:19

say that. Anyway, but I just thought. So that was exciting. That

40:21

was a big day for you. Yeah. You

40:23

saw a beaver. You live out in the middle of no place. Aren't there

40:26

beavers all over the place? Well, can you hear

40:28

me, Jordan? Jordan's not out on the place. I

40:30

love what you say. Remember when you take 212, I'm like,

40:32

I have no idea where you're going. Where

40:35

are you going? You're 40 miles. Although I

40:37

did see someone stop in at the new Fred Elones and Wacone. You know,

40:39

we had that big grand opening weekend. Thank you for

40:41

bringing that up. I do want to say that. You

40:44

know, we had, we were packed, right? So a lot

40:46

of people were packed, but I had a lot of

40:48

frat packers come in and it

40:50

was really cool. So

40:53

one of them happens to be kind of

40:55

a star, right? So it's my buddy, Tim.

40:57

He's like a world renowned Ferrari mechanic. Cool.

41:00

And it's just, it's really, really, and why have

41:02

you not invited him on the show? Well, I

41:04

mean, he's a mechanic. I mean, I don't know

41:07

if he's like freaking cool stories must he have.

41:09

And the best part about him, he's not like

41:12

50 or he's like an a full size

41:14

adult man. Like he's an adult age man.

41:16

Right. So he's like kind of like other

41:18

people could be retired at his age. I'm

41:20

just saying, I don't know exactly what his

41:22

age is, but he loves working on old

41:24

Ferraris and I've watched him

41:26

work before. And the way he does

41:28

it, it's like, Oh, you're working on

41:31

a piece of art like an artist. It's

41:33

really, really cool. He doesn't have like a

41:36

two and he does all of this work out of, he

41:38

has a kind of a shop. That's

41:41

a, he has a real small, like a couple bay

41:43

shop. But the last time I was at his shop,

41:45

he had this funny Ferrari in there and a Lamborghini

41:47

Countach sitting there. Okay.

41:49

Michael, I'm dead serious. You

41:52

need to bring him in studio. I

41:54

want to talk to him about this. Yeah. When I talk.

41:56

I'm not even a car guy and I think it's fascinating.

41:58

I mean, Joe would love it. Right? Joe

42:01

would love it because it's just the tinkering ability

42:03

that he has, and oh, by the way, he

42:05

can pull out a 12-cylinder Lamborghini

42:07

engine out of a Countach and put it

42:09

back in, and he knows how to hold

42:12

it, but he's meticulous.

42:16

And it's like watching a person... It's like

42:18

watching people do surgery or be an artist.

42:20

I'm like, how cool is that? So he

42:22

came out with his lovely girlfriend, Betsy, and

42:24

they came out and hung out, and it

42:26

was so cool. And a handful of other

42:29

frat packers came out, and I was like, that

42:31

is so cool. Dude, I'm telling you right now,

42:33

I said this to you when you first told

42:35

me that you guys were thinking about buying that

42:37

wonderful family-owned store in Waconia, said, you

42:39

are going to fall in love with that city. You

42:42

are 100% going to fall in love with Waconia because

42:44

it's an awesome off the top. It really was. It really

42:46

was. So thank you for everybody

42:48

who came to that. We really appreciate you. And

42:50

Reavers, you're the best. Please do us a favor,

42:52

rate and review the show wherever you have to

42:54

be listening to the weekly scramble. We would really

42:56

appreciate it because it helps others find the show.

42:58

In addition to helping us help

43:00

you, help us help you. His name is

43:02

Mike Fratalone. My name is Chris Reavers. We

43:04

will talk to you again next week. Until

43:06

then, cheers.
