Speaker 1: Hey, come on your little Patrick morning shots. Criss over
Speaker 1: there for one more semi here.
Speaker 2: Hi, Christ see these listeners get it. Whenever somebody comes
Speaker 2: in to watch the show, when they bring us donuts
Speaker 2: or in this case, like bagels and coffees and stuff,
Speaker 2: it's like, yeah, it's like, that's how you do it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we like to get bribed. Yeah we do right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: sure you can watch the show. Just bring us coffee.
Speaker 2: Love it. Yeah, home runs.
Speaker 1: That's all it takes.
Speaker 2: It's all it takes. Bribe us. We're easy. Marnin's on
Speaker 2: her way in. Yep. Belinda as well on her way in.
Speaker 1: Zacho will be here to play initials game as well.
Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
Speaker 1: The Crease, though, is here for one more segment.
Speaker 2: I think to do one more if there's space space.
Speaker 2: This is Camp News with Chris Hockey. Hi, and don't
Speaker 2: forget Crease one hundred and eleven thousand dollars an hour
Speaker 2: from now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, think of how many onlyfan subscriptions. Someone could get.
Speaker 2: All of them. There's only forty seven hundred or whatever
Speaker 2: in the Twin Cities, right, you could pay for all
Speaker 2: of them. I'd pay Rosie does. He's based on his
Speaker 2: Instagram I.
Speaker 1: Paid, not because I use them. I just want to
Speaker 1: help people, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you never look at their picture. You just
Speaker 2: donate the money and go on. It's almost like a GoFundMe.
Speaker 2: It certainly is there. I felt a go what so, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's an hour from now, one hundred and eleven thousand dollars,
Speaker 2: let's hope. But it goes off today. I have two
Speaker 2: days a day.
Speaker 1: Two different stories that are also from the start Tribune.
Speaker 1: Because if I'm a pay for some bitch, get some
Speaker 1: use it. By the way, I didn't know I was paying
Speaker 1: for it till this morning. I saw they'll show it.
Speaker 2: That app you have must have failed you then.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's a long story.
Speaker 2: What's the start? You be in a month the digital version.
Speaker 3: The key is you just you after your subscriptions up.
Speaker 3: Then you use a new email address so you can
Speaker 3: get a good deal.
Speaker 2: So you just cancel new email address. Cancel new email address.
Speaker 2: Good point for the rest of the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's fourteen dollars a month or something
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 2: It's too much. Doesn't the company pay for it? Every
Speaker 2: time I click on it over here?
Speaker 1: Somebody must have fired.
Speaker 3: That's like one and a half only fan subscriptions probably right,
Speaker 3: don't know, don't know what the going rate is these days.
Speaker 1: A now defunct company, and this is a sad but
Speaker 1: in a weird way story. I'll tell you a minute.
Speaker 1: A now defunked Minnesota company abandoned a hunt No, abandoned
Speaker 1: one point four million chickens in twenty twenty four, leaving
Speaker 1: them to starve. That's terrible.
Speaker 2: In white year twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Four, the pure prairie poultry hard to say, went to
Speaker 1: funct and followed twenty twenty four and then failed to
Speaker 1: pick up or send feed for the chickens. One point
Speaker 1: three million birds were euthanized that would have otherwise become food.
Speaker 1: No question, Why didn't you still make them food?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Right, I mean I'll volunteer his tribute. Right, there's
Speaker 2: popcorn chicken, there's chicken nuggets, there's chicken strips. There's a
Speaker 2: lot of ways to do this, chicken fries if you
Speaker 2: want to go that direction. I mean, Canes would have
Speaker 2: taken it.
Speaker 3: See, I'm sure there were some rule that prohibited it,
Speaker 3: because if the company wasn't there to process it and
Speaker 3: go through.
Speaker 1: All of the right, that's a lot of chickens to
Speaker 1: just you know, kill a waist right now, and they
Speaker 1: were going to die anyway, but somebody got to eat
Speaker 1: them if you did it, you know. But I feel
Speaker 1: where you're coming from.
Speaker 2: Who counts them or do they all just so? Is
Speaker 2: it like, here's how many chickens fit in a standard
Speaker 2: like a couple of square feet and let's just multiply
Speaker 2: it by the amount of space we have, and it's
Speaker 2: one point three million chickens. I would hate to be
Speaker 2: the guy who counts your chickens, you know, before they hatch,
Speaker 2: before they hatch in this case, before you euthanize.
Speaker 1: It right right, and you know, you don't want anything
Speaker 1: to starve. That's the worst way to die. So that's
Speaker 1: the one thing I'm surprised about is that they didn't
Speaker 1: find a way to make them food. But the other
Speaker 1: thing that surprises me is how much the company was
Speaker 1: fined for starving to death one four millions.
Speaker 3: And that probably is the reason the government did not
Speaker 3: have someone else take over those chickens. Let's hear this, fine,
Speaker 3: what do.
Speaker 1: You guys think it is? What do you think the company,
Speaker 1: which no longer exists, was fined for leaving one point
Speaker 1: four million chickens to.
Speaker 2: Die, Let's say three in a three meal. Corey, I'm
Speaker 2: trying to figure out how much I would charge per
Speaker 2: chicken to find got be at least a buck. That's
Speaker 2: good logic. I like that. Let's go. Let's go eight million.
Speaker 1: Thirteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: Oh, never mind, but my theory was long.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm throwing things over here. Thirteen thousand dollars, why
Speaker 1: even find them? That's what those chicken not only they
Speaker 1: starved to death, but you're telling them their life. They
Speaker 1: weren't a cent per chicken.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 3: That sends a terrible message to the chicken community.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what the pluck?
Speaker 2: Right, well done. I'm sure Glenn Taylor would have paid
Speaker 2: thirteen thousand dollars to take up one point three million chickens.
Speaker 3: How many people were gluing themselves to that building in protests?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: I missed a little girl. That was one of my
Speaker 2: favorite bits in the history of sports.
Speaker 1: I just gotta I see a further girl from g
Speaker 1: Taylor that said I would have paid double that to
Speaker 1: light the place on fire.
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, weird. So that's a weird story. Here's another story.
Speaker 1: Autonomous vehicles Weimo are coming to Minnesota, but lawmakers are
Speaker 1: struggling to clarify the legal limbo that could threaten their arrival.
Speaker 1: Ramo Weimo, the robotic taxi backed by Google, announced it
Speaker 1: was coming to Minneapolis late last year as it grows
Speaker 1: beyond the southwestern and West coast roots. Its vehicles have
Speaker 1: been traveling in the city with human drivers since then,
Speaker 1: collecting data to get ready for the driverless cars, but
Speaker 1: Weimo's expansion has put pressure on lawmakers to change state
Speaker 1: law this year. Locke is currently silent on the legality
Speaker 1: of self driving vehicles. So it's not that there's a
Speaker 1: law against it. There's just no law for it. Either
Speaker 1: write it up. But are you yes, four or against? Weimo?
Speaker 2: Personally indifferent because I haven't been a part of it yet.
Speaker 2: I haven't tried it, so I'm indifferent to it. Opinion.
Speaker 3: I'm fine with it, but there are some things that
Speaker 3: need to be worked out. Have you seemed recently like
Speaker 3: where there's a police intervention and there's a Weymo that
Speaker 3: just is in the middle of it all of a
Speaker 3: sudden and imagine meeting person. There was the one where
Speaker 3: there was a stand on and the Waimo's just sitting there.
Speaker 3: And if you're like, I'm just trying to get to
Speaker 3: Tom's watch bar and I'm in the middle of the
Speaker 3: potential shootout.
Speaker 1: Right, there's a way to naked gun make that funny? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean sure, you're like, you're just riding along in
Speaker 1: your way Mo, going to see grandma and suddenly you
Speaker 1: see the lights in front of you and you hear
Speaker 1: the gunfire. But Waymo doesn't. He's just trying to get
Speaker 1: your Grandma's.
Speaker 2: There should be like a button to push to be
Speaker 2: like play by.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there is an emergency button. I do remember
Speaker 1: that because I rode in a Waymo past a casino
Speaker 1: to wave w wave at it. Yeah, talking talking stick
Speaker 1: And it is very odd to not have a driver.
Speaker 1: And I never got comfortable, but I'm sure you would
Speaker 1: after a while.
Speaker 2: But do you see the wheel moving and stuff, right, it's.
Speaker 1: The weirdest thing, right, And they they purposefully have the
Speaker 1: voice be very comforting that talks to you. Welcome, Chris Hockey.
Speaker 1: We're going to be taking you to your place. Please
Speaker 1: on your seatbouty, you know your pants on? Right? Yeah? Well,
Speaker 1: luckily I didn't say that, but it is disconcerting when
Speaker 1: that's happening, But I have read a lot of stories. Man.
Speaker 1: The one guy was stuck in it for three hours
Speaker 1: as it drove in a circle in a Walmart parking lot,
Speaker 1: and he couldn't get out.
Speaker 2: The best because the emergency stopped button.
Speaker 1: He kept hitting it wouldn't stop, so he called him
Speaker 1: and then took him forever to get that thing to stop.
Speaker 2: Then you just kicked the window out and just climb
Speaker 2: on the window.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Hey, speaking of laws and things that we're waiting for,
Speaker 2: I saw a breakdown of this potential bipartisan sports betting
Speaker 2: bill that keeps getting thrown out, right, and if we're
Speaker 2: making progress, and is this going to be the year?
Speaker 2: Are we finally going to break through and have legalized
Speaker 2: sports betting in Minnesota, especially with the prediction, poly markets
Speaker 2: and all that kind of stuff, right like it's happening anyway,
Speaker 2: let's just figure this thing out. I forget the guy's name,
Speaker 2: the one guy that did a couple of minute video
Speaker 2: and breaking down. I don't know. I don't even know
Speaker 2: what side of the alleys on. It doesn't matter because
Speaker 2: he was talking about this is a bipartisan thing. We're
Speaker 2: trying to get pushed through, and he was talking about
Speaker 2: what we need those with some consumer protections to make
Speaker 2: sure that this is fine and what's going to work,
Speaker 2: and he said twenty one years old would be the minimum.
Speaker 2: And I don't know if it's always had a problem
Speaker 2: with that. I'm one of those guys that, like, I
Speaker 2: have a real problem with I can go into a
Speaker 2: casino at eighteen, I can go to war at eighteen,
Speaker 2: but I can't sports bet in Minnesota till I'm twenty one.
Speaker 2: I just I don't understand that. And I understand you
Speaker 2: don't want everybody in high school, senior or of high
Speaker 2: school to have gambling apps on their phones. I get it,
Speaker 2: But those are the same eighteen year old kids that
Speaker 2: could be seniors in high school that go to casinos,
Speaker 2: that go to the gas station and buy lottery tickets.
Speaker 2: They can gamble a thousand other ways. I don't understand
Speaker 2: how we get to pick and choose what kind of
Speaker 2: gambling is appropriate for what age, because the twenty one
Speaker 2: thing doesn't make sense to me. Either the gambling in
Speaker 2: the entire state should be twenty one or sports betting
Speaker 2: should be eighteen.
Speaker 3: But the difference is that's already the law that right
Speaker 3: now you can go into a casino at eighteen. This
Speaker 3: likely is in effort to get a couple more votes
Speaker 3: to get it to pass. If you have people that
Speaker 3: are a little uneasy about it, and you say, what
Speaker 3: if we eliminate the whole high school thing being a possibility? Right,
Speaker 3: unless you've got a super super, super super senior, then
Speaker 3: right then at twenty one, do we have your vote?
Speaker 3: That's a lot of times what it comes down to.
Speaker 3: It's not necessarily so it's not even like it's what
Speaker 3: can we get passed?
Speaker 1: I'm glad you use that word logic because that's what
Speaker 1: I was about. That's why I raise my hand. I
Speaker 1: wonder what the logic was behind the magical year twenty one?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean? Like, why not? And
Speaker 2: even number? Why not twenty? Right?
Speaker 1: And the research shows that your brain fully is, you know,
Speaker 1: around twenty five, your brain is finally fully developed. Why
Speaker 1: twenty one? I wonder where that number came from?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I understand that can't be right because Sauce's brain
Speaker 2: isn't fully developed yet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's a good point.
Speaker 2: He's forty what three? Right?
Speaker 1: Right, it's a big head though, Man, it's a lot.
Speaker 2: There's a lot to like, right, Yeah, that might be
Speaker 2: a lifelong cheer of pet project.
Speaker 1: But I wonder what that why? I understand eighteen, like
Speaker 1: you said, that's probably when kids are graduating Fro high school.
Speaker 1: What twenty one I wonder why.
Speaker 2: Is it's like the oldest cliche thing ever go you
Speaker 2: can go to war, but you can't buy a beer.
Speaker 2: You can go to war, but you can't. But it's like,
Speaker 2: I know, that sounds like an easy trump cart, but
Speaker 2: it's an easy trump cart because it doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 2: How can you send a kid overseas to fight for
Speaker 2: their life and fight for their country but they can't
Speaker 2: have a drink or sports bet Like it seems like
Speaker 2: it's those two ages should definitely overlap. That makes no
Speaker 2: sense to me. But whatever. But again, and you know this, Creasey,
Speaker 2: I love that you answered it that way because that
Speaker 2: makes a ton of sense. But as you know, because
Speaker 2: you were in the legislature, almost all of the gambling
Speaker 2: laws are made by people who don't gamble and don't
Speaker 2: understand the loopholes. They don't understand. It's just I don't
Speaker 2: think they consult the right people. And I know the
Speaker 2: casinos are involved, the tribes are involved, but man, almost
Speaker 2: always the gambling laws are made by the people that
Speaker 2: don't understanding.
Speaker 3: Which sometimes is okay, because it's good to have a
Speaker 3: fresh perspective without any Like I love to gamble. I
Speaker 3: know the ins and outs of it, right, so that
Speaker 3: I would be useful in this discussion. But it's also
Speaker 3: good to say I am concerned because I can see
Speaker 3: this from the outside outside the cloud going this is
Speaker 3: a danger. This is a danger. This is a concern.
Speaker 3: Let's avoid those. So it's good to have both you.
Speaker 1: Thank you for saying that, dude, because honestly, I am
Speaker 1: for legalization one hundred percent right, because people should be
Speaker 1: able to make their own but there should be some
Speaker 1: rules too, because gambling addiction is a giant problem, and
Speaker 1: I think everybody involved in the industry would agree. Let's
Speaker 1: protect people from themselves. There are things they're the same
Speaker 1: way we do with drugs, in the same way we
Speaker 1: do with drinking. Protect people if you can, you know, so,
Speaker 1: let's use our big brains and reason and make it legal,
Speaker 1: but put some stuff on it that makes it so
Speaker 1: you can get help if you need it. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but you know, I.
Speaker 2: Like doing it the right way. I like that, and
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure this guy did that. There are some
Speaker 2: kind of you know, kickback to help gambling addiction problems.
Speaker 2: The other problem, though, to me, the difference is always
Speaker 2: the gray area with what defines gambling, right, Like, the
Speaker 2: stock market is gambling. It is there's no safeguards. I
Speaker 2: can go to the gas station. No one's going to
Speaker 2: stop me from buying unlimited amount of scratch offs out
Speaker 2: of the machine event, right, So there's it's like, why
Speaker 2: do some forms of gambling have safeguards but the other
Speaker 2: ones are like, well, stock market's investing, that's gambling. It is. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you might not think it's the same thing as a
Speaker 2: scratch off or a roulette wheel, but it is ultimately gambling.
Speaker 2: It's educated gambling, but it's gambling. And that's important.
Speaker 3: That hypocrisy is to do it right the first time,
Speaker 3: because you're not going to go in and tighten things
Speaker 3: up after the fact, especially when there's revenue attached.
Speaker 2: Correct, right, you got it. It's the same thing we
Speaker 2: said about weed for a long time is you've got
Speaker 2: to make sure that you don't make the same mistakes
Speaker 2: other states have made, and we've already made mistakes with Weed,
Speaker 2: and I'm sure we're going to make mistakes whenever this
Speaker 2: freaking bill goes through too. Hopefully as soon as possible,
Speaker 2: we'll see. All right, we'll do sports in a second.
Speaker 2: Marnie should be here in a minute or two. Belinda
Speaker 2: Jensen in like ten minutes. We'll play Initials at a fifteen.
Speaker 2: It is in the power Tom, What don't you on
Speaker 2: the fan? All right? Marnie's here, bonus cresol.
Speaker 1: No one cares.
Speaker 2: Melinda should be here in a second. She's texting you.
Speaker 2: Is that what's happening?
Speaker 1: When she text me, I'm marsy yah, she'll text.
Speaker 2: Menie Gelner from She's from Marnie Gelner dot com. Right, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's right. You have a similar website or what's the
Speaker 2: name of that. It's not Marnie dot com if you're.
Speaker 1: Talking about that. There's a Chris Hockey dot com as well.
Speaker 2: It's so weird, man, Am I the only one that
Speaker 2: doesn't have my own name as a website because my
Speaker 2: website is Initials Game dot com. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, well, I'll tell you what's weird is you're
Speaker 1: the only one that doesn't do speeches through Kayla Criso,
Speaker 1: which you can book me dot com. Yes, got you,
Speaker 1: this is rolling advertisement.
Speaker 2: I do do corporate initials events though, I do do
Speaker 2: that corporate initials events through initials game dot com. You
Speaker 2: got it, buddy, Look at that? Look at you. How
Speaker 2: about your Wolves, Marnie, We're looking good. It's about time. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I feel like we've been waiting for this version of
Speaker 4: this team all season.
Speaker 2: And when we see it, man, it's just sosa. Was
Speaker 2: there place? Was rocket? That was my first Wolves game
Speaker 2: in years? Where were we sitting?
Speaker 3: I was like seven rows behind Parker and Taylor.
Speaker 2: I saw you walk by.
Speaker 1: Hell was she pemp Strutton?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you couldn't hear me though, I was like, but
Speaker 2: it was loud in there. So yeah, dang, well, thanks
Speaker 2: for texting me. Let me know all eight of the
Speaker 2: in five Street.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And we moved into third last night because the Rockets
Speaker 4: lost to Golden State while Steph.
Speaker 2: Curry is still hurt.
Speaker 4: So that's a bad loss for them, and that's a
Speaker 4: great dub for us. And now you got the Orlando
Speaker 4: Magic who on tomorrow tomorrow afternoon. That's a scufflin team.
Speaker 2: It's a two o'clock game. That's weird.
Speaker 4: Amazon Prime picked it up, but we are also still
Speaker 4: doing the game, so I don't I don't know why
Speaker 4: they have a two o'clock Saturday afternoon that does seem
Speaker 4: like an odd watch time. But my point is it
Speaker 4: took this long to just finally claw into fourth because
Speaker 4: it's so jammed up. Now you finally leap frog to three.
Speaker 4: This is when you go, Okay, do not let this
Speaker 4: position go?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, five and a half behind Wenby and the
Speaker 2: Spurs a billion games behind. Okay, see with nineteen games
Speaker 2: to go. But still I can live with our glass.
Speaker 4: I can live with the three seed because we were
Speaker 4: living in that six. We were even in seven for
Speaker 4: a while, Like six six seven is a tough place
Speaker 4: in the last.
Speaker 2: I got a hardcore basketball question for you, since we're
Speaker 2: asking hardcore basketball questions. The Spurs and Wemby again beat
Speaker 2: Detroit last night, right, and Detroit's awesome. We get it,
Speaker 2: they're a great record, but it seems like the Spurs
Speaker 2: own them. Jason Tatum expected to make his season debut tonight,
Speaker 2: and the Celtics are Yeah, the Celtics are. Celtics are
Speaker 2: forty one and twenty one this year without Jason Tatum.
Speaker 2: That's insane to have one of the best top five
Speaker 2: to ten players in the league and they're forty one
Speaker 2: and twenty one without them because Jalen Brown's obviously playing
Speaker 2: close to MVP level. Anyway, here's my pointer, or here's
Speaker 2: my question with the Celtics being the question mark. I
Speaker 2: know the the Wolves are the third seed in the West,
Speaker 2: but doesn't it feel like, yet again, the NBA champ
Speaker 2: is coming out of the West. Like, I don't think
Speaker 2: Detroit can beat okay See in a seven game series.
Speaker 2: I don't think they can beat Wemby in a seven
Speaker 2: game series. I don't think they can beat the Wolves
Speaker 2: in a seven game series. I don't know about Boston
Speaker 2: yet because I don't know how Healthy gat them twice
Speaker 2: in the next month, though I believe right, but I
Speaker 2: think the top three teams in the West, it would
Speaker 2: all absolutely work.
Speaker 4: The Detroit Pistons, Yes, it does seem that way, but
Speaker 4: it also feels like it would be fun to see
Speaker 4: them in a best of seven because I don't think
Speaker 4: it's a four to zho sweep guaranteed, and the first month,
Speaker 4: maybe two months of the season, I would have said,
Speaker 4: nobody's touching. Okay, See it's a four to oh sweep
Speaker 4: for the whole the whole playoff series. But now we've seen, Okay,
Speaker 4: they are beatable, and I don't know if Detroit is
Speaker 4: the team to do it. And I just time I'm okay, Yes,
Speaker 4: I'm just saying in the East, Boston, Detroit, whatever, it's.
Speaker 2: Not a given it.
Speaker 4: Yes, I feel like the champion's going to come out
Speaker 4: of the West. Also because the competition in the West
Speaker 4: has been tough for all seasons.
Speaker 2: So these teams are primed.
Speaker 4: They've just gone through the bigger battles, sorry if that's
Speaker 4: offensive craze all season long, and are just more prepared
Speaker 4: to play that those kind of tougher games. So, yes,
Speaker 4: is the champion coming out of the West in my opinion, Yes,
Speaker 4: But is it a given.
Speaker 2: A kickbokh, No, But it's like an eighty five percenter. Sure,
Speaker 2: But I bet there are some four to three series.
Speaker 2: There's maybe there are a couple of game sevens, that's all,
Speaker 2: And that's what we want. This guy's got grease onlesspurs
Speaker 2: I got biased. I want my dad to be right.
Speaker 2: My dad's almost eighty eight and he told me, like
Speaker 2: when I was very young, three things, don't lie, don't
Speaker 2: mess with married women, and don't bet serious money on sports.
Speaker 2: And I always say two out of three ain't bad.
Speaker 2: You picked one, and well, if lying's one of them,
Speaker 2: you don't even know what I'm lying about. But also
Speaker 2: the don't bet serious money on sports is subjective. But
Speaker 2: my point is is he got the Spurs at thirty
Speaker 2: five to one, and I got him the next day
Speaker 2: because I'm like, all right, I'll swat this with you
Speaker 2: at thirty to one. I'm not making a lot of
Speaker 2: money on this. He's not making a ton of money,
Speaker 2: but it's a it's a what a ton bet? Yes,
Speaker 2: that's a fun but it's it's four figures for both
Speaker 2: of us if we hit. I just want him he'll
Speaker 2: be eighty eight by the time the NBA Finals rolls around.
Speaker 2: I just want him to be like I got one.
Speaker 3: Well, it is not like he picked five teams we're
Speaker 3: talking of. You said this was like he said he
Speaker 3: spotted them and said's ready.
Speaker 2: Was the first or second week of the season. He goes,
Speaker 2: I think Wemby's ready because he had watched like one
Speaker 2: National TV game. He's like this team's not three years away.
Speaker 2: They're ready. And I'm like, I'm in Vegas if you
Speaker 2: want me to. He's like, put some money on him
Speaker 2: for me, and I'm like, all right, I got to
Speaker 2: sweat this thing with you. So yeah, I have definitely
Speaker 2: I'm betting with my head and my heart because i
Speaker 2: want my dad to get it, and but also now
Speaker 2: he's just right. The Spurs are prime to do it
Speaker 2: this year because they've also not just owned Detroit, they've
Speaker 2: they've kicked a hell out of Oklahoma City too. Like
Speaker 2: they are well again. And when Wemby is on, he's
Speaker 2: the most unstoppable force in the NBA because of his size.
Speaker 2: How do you defend it? If he does a turnaround jumper,
Speaker 2: you can't defend it. He's seven almost five, right if
Speaker 2: they say almost like another eNTRI he's almost seven to five.
Speaker 2: The only one that can stop him is himself or
Speaker 2: an injury.
Speaker 4: For your dad to be able to see that is incredible.
Speaker 2: At eighty seven, and it was like the one day
Speaker 2: he didn't ask for the twins, Scuttle Buddy's ready.
Speaker 1: Furthermore, your dad gets mentioned at such positive lights.
Speaker 2: What is that way? What your dad doesn't no my.
Speaker 1: Dad doesn't like that.
Speaker 2: I disagree on a daily basis. Sauce talks about how
Speaker 2: proud your dad must be. He does say that, like
Speaker 2: like when you did the news report in the bathroom
Speaker 2: that he goes, your dad must be so proud. What's
Speaker 2: wrong with that?
Speaker 1: I guess you're right? Never mind, Hey, did you guys
Speaker 1: see that the lights went out at the UH Georgia?
Speaker 1: Noheard about it, Okay.
Speaker 2: Because it's not the Excel Energy Center anymore.
Speaker 1: Exactly did you guys known that Zach was the one
Speaker 1: who leaned up against the switch and turned the lights
Speaker 1: off during the game.
Speaker 2: That's a true story.
Speaker 1: No, no, against the witch and turn the lights off
Speaker 1: in the arena.
Speaker 3: That would be so that would take the whole light digital.
Speaker 3: There should be a video of him doing that.
Speaker 2: You can. That's a great baby.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Get Luckily it was five to nothing Minnetaka, so
Speaker 1: the game wasn't in jeopardy at all.
Speaker 2: But the lights This game is over right.
Speaker 1: But there was a college hockey game I believe. Let's
Speaker 1: see if I have the date here UH on February
Speaker 1: twenty eighth at Grank Sceine Arena. Game was tied three
Speaker 1: to three in overtime, Yukon was on a breakaway and
Speaker 1: the damn lights went out.
Speaker 2: On the breakaway.
Speaker 1: On the breakaway.
Speaker 2: That's somebody who has money on the game.
Speaker 1: And Yukon wound up wound up losing in a shootout later.
Speaker 1: But so you and and you've got to see as
Speaker 1: the kids he breaks away, he's going down the court.
Speaker 1: What do you call ice? What have you got? And
Speaker 1: the lights go completely black. The entire arena goes dark,
Speaker 1: and of course they turn the lights back on the kids, like,
Speaker 1: come on, man, let's good.
Speaker 2: Before the first round matchup against the Dallas Stars, Bill
Speaker 2: Garen is going to have some kind of a switch
Speaker 2: installed where he can just flip the lights off if
Speaker 2: if Dallas is on a breakaway, the crazy thing has
Speaker 2: to do it.
Speaker 1: It's happened twice at least now during games, and I
Speaker 1: can't find any story that tells me what happened, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean.
Speaker 2: It's a conspiracy.
Speaker 1: I just yeah, I mean, I just wonder if it was,
Speaker 1: you know, just somebody in a boot somewhere accidentally leaning
Speaker 1: up against the light switch.
Speaker 2: How torn must Sauce be Minnetonka and a Dinah both
Speaker 2: moving on? Yeah, they're both in the class two way semis. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he claims he cares more about a Dino, Yeah, Bandwagon.
Speaker 2: He seems like a Dina guy. He does Minnetonka, Rosemont
Speaker 2: more Head and a Dina Moving on four, Yeah, he
Speaker 2: lights on, Are those are those two? I guess we
Speaker 2: can ask that when he gets here. Are those today
Speaker 2: or tomorrow? The semis?
Speaker 1: I think there's a round of semis today?
Speaker 2: But is that the other class though? Is that Class
Speaker 2: A today in class two eight tomorrow? I don't know.
Speaker 2: Zach gets here, you can fill us in, You'll fill you. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there might be a schedule online. We could click ay clacking,
Speaker 2: No time for that.
Speaker 1: He doesn't look at him.
Speaker 2: He's busy. I'm busy. My dad's texting me other sports
Speaker 2: bets he wants to make, and he wants sports Betty
Speaker 2: law to go through.
Speaker 1: My dad is not texting me anything. My dad isn't either, Okay,
Speaker 1: he's with the Lord. Yeah. I just don't want people
Speaker 1: think my dad's texting me what Sauce says. He's always
Speaker 1: texting me.
Speaker 3: What my father in law text me often, and I'm
Speaker 3: always like, this took a lot of work for him.
Speaker 2: He's not much of a text. Yeah, so like he
Speaker 2: took five at a time to say nice joke.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 3: That means a lot to me, right effort. It's not
Speaker 3: like the t nine days.
Speaker 2: Burb just texted me Georgia. Ha ha ha ha ha.
Speaker 2: No one got it. Yeah, I guess we did. Hawk
Speaker 2: said the lights went out and I said in.
Speaker 1: Georgia, oh god, oh I got it.
Speaker 2: Well now you did. No, he got it, just didn't laugh.
Speaker 2: Oh so Barb like that joke though, Yeah, because she's
Speaker 2: my miguel. Yeah. And it was club Yeah, are you
Speaker 2: playing password?
Speaker 4: Guys pulled the room and three out of four said yes, No,
Speaker 4: I'm not playing password today, but I am playing password
Speaker 4: next week.
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, look at you.
Speaker 2: We'll be cheering for you.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Uh you're playing Initials in like forty five minutes against
Speaker 2: Melinda Jensen, zach Alberson and Chris Hockey Chreas. We got
Speaker 2: an extra bonus segment out of you. We appreciate it. Man.
Speaker 3: I love you guys. I will see you next Friday.
Speaker 3: Go to my website John Cristla dot com and book
Speaker 3: me for your next event. John Chriesla dot com. Love you, guys, gool.
Speaker 1: Wolves, love it bye body.
Speaker 2: All right, more with Martie gallan'er in the Power Trip
Speaker 2: Morning to after this. I'm the fan. We got that right.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to partrim Morning. Sure here we are. I'm
Speaker 1: ahead and hit this because one is going to be
Speaker 1: in a minute out here. But it's time for.
Speaker 2: The power of.
Speaker 1: Dragco exs. My top story for the Vikings today is
Speaker 1: that Blake Cashman's a good dude and I'm looking forward
Speaker 1: to having him as a power to the Powers Tip
Speaker 1: Morning Show. Had dinner with him last night. Thanks to
Speaker 1: the people of the movies. We were down at No
Speaker 1: we would have of course we love that place too, uh,
Speaker 1: but we were down at what Hex place? Calling again,
Speaker 1: I told you, thank you, which is delicious, great people.
Speaker 1: Thanks to the people a Delta as well. But spent
Speaker 1: some time talking to uh to Blake about being in
Speaker 1: the defense but not just that. He won four championships,
Speaker 1: state championships at Eden Prairie and high school. Unbelievable. He
Speaker 1: was a walk on at the University of Minnesota, which
Speaker 1: I didn't know, and of course ended up uh being
Speaker 1: a great linebacker for them, and then got drafted to
Speaker 1: the Jets. Went from the Jets to Houston and then
Speaker 1: got to come home. What a great player, got a
Speaker 1: baby on the way in May. He would be a
Speaker 1: perfect member of the Power Morning Show. And we're going
Speaker 1: to have him on soon. But talking to him about
Speaker 1: Flores and playing in that system but being the guy
Speaker 1: who wears the green dot was fascinating. I can't wait
Speaker 1: to talk to him about it on the show. Good talker,
Speaker 1: Good dude.
Speaker 2: Yeah, our free agent class from two years ago slightly
Speaker 2: better than our free agent class from one year ago. Absolutely,
Speaker 2: the one from a couple of years ago with Cashman
Speaker 2: and Grenard and Van Ginkle, like, that group was legit
Speaker 2: and they had an impact immediately and they continue to
Speaker 2: have an impact, so much so that Grenard wants to
Speaker 2: raise and the Vikes might have to trade him because
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 1: Right, That is the thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And then the last year's classes the opposite. We're
Speaker 2: moving on from her Grave, We're moving on from Allen.
Speaker 2: Most of the signings last year did not work Ryan
Speaker 2: Kelly obviously because of injury and concussions. Yeah, although that's
Speaker 2: not definitive yet, but I think it's a stalemate, Yeah,
Speaker 2: because I think the Vikings want him to retire, and
Speaker 2: I'm sure Ryan Kelly and his agent are like, no
Speaker 2: cut us, so you have to pay. You know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying, like, yeah, if you retire, the money's different
Speaker 2: than getting released or cut or whatever. I don't know
Speaker 2: how that works, but maybe there's some kind of a
Speaker 2: stalemate there. I don't know how that works, and.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it is something to do with you know,
Speaker 1: your agent is supposed to be on the lookout for you.
Speaker 1: So if there's a way for it to be more
Speaker 1: profitable or just better in the long run for him
Speaker 1: not to retire and he's waiting on, you know, maybe
Speaker 1: they're working that on. I'm sure. But that kind of
Speaker 1: thing brings me up to something I was going to
Speaker 1: ask you about when it comes to Grenard. I think
Speaker 1: maybe nobody is their perception is screwed in this way.
Speaker 1: But it's obviously not a situation. But they think Gernard
Speaker 1: can't be a great viable linebacker in the league, and
Speaker 1: they probably think he might be better than the person
Speaker 1: who's going to replace him, as even by a wide margin.
Speaker 1: The situation is he does want to market correction in
Speaker 1: his contract. He's signed here on a sweet deal for
Speaker 1: the Vikings to come prove himself, and now he wants
Speaker 1: a raise, and it just looks like maybe the Vikings
Speaker 1: just don't have the money to give him the race
Speaker 1: even donate, even they know he so richly deserves, you know.
Speaker 2: So look at his twenty twenty six cap hit is
Speaker 2: a little over twenty two million. Right. He signed a
Speaker 2: four year, seventy six million dollar deal with the Vike,
Speaker 2: so under twenty million a year on average though, right, right,
Speaker 2: And we just saw yesterday the former Viking that we
Speaker 2: essentially swapped with, even though it was separate deals. Right,
Speaker 2: we got Grenard and then Daniel went to Houston. Yeah,
Speaker 2: in free agent deals, Daniel just got a one year,
Speaker 2: forty million dollar deal. So if you're Grenard going, all right,
Speaker 2: maybe Daniel's maybe I'm not saying Grenard thinks Daniel's better.
Speaker 2: I hope that he's confident in himself. But even if
Speaker 2: he's honest and he's like, all right, Daniel's having a
Speaker 2: more productive year than I am, he's not worth twice
Speaker 2: what I am, right, right, So that's just Grenard going like,
Speaker 2: all right, can we get closer to thirty? And the
Speaker 2: vice we don't have the money to get close to
Speaker 2: thirty now, the CAP's a myth. You can sign whatever
Speaker 2: you want to whoever you want, and however much you
Speaker 2: want on that you can just move money around. Well,
Speaker 2: look at the Cowboys. The Cowboys basically took their three
Speaker 2: biggest contracts and said, let's just fudge the numbers, and
Speaker 2: now they're all under the cab. Yeah, you just got
Speaker 2: to move money around. It's not hard.
Speaker 1: After watching that documentary on the Cowboys on Netflix, I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure Jerry Jones doesn't care what the rules are. No,
Speaker 1: he'll just do it and let the NFL sue him.
Speaker 2: Done that.
Speaker 1: It's fascinating.
Speaker 2: But it's like Belinda Jensen on Caro Levin for the
Speaker 2: last three decades. She doesn't care want, she doesn't listen
Speaker 2: to rules, she doesn't follow the bosses, and now goes
Speaker 2: rogue retiring. It's just been amazing how much she cusses
Speaker 2: on the air. Yeah, because what does she caring? What
Speaker 2: are they gonna do?
Speaker 5: Fire?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 2: I don't think so. Hi, Blinda, good morning, to see
Speaker 2: you again.
Speaker 6: Good to see you.
Speaker 2: At Glinda, Marnie Martie, Blinda.
Speaker 1: I hear the nervousness in her voice. You're nervous right now,
Speaker 1: aren't you about this game coming up.
Speaker 6: No, I'm not nervous. I did my homework.
Speaker 1: Oh I went.
Speaker 6: I know I'm absolutely gonna fail.
Speaker 5: But I did go to Maynard's with my son Tanner,
Speaker 5: and I played it on Wednesday night with Meat.
Speaker 2: Sauce Hot Sauce, who was a host.
Speaker 6: He does a great job.
Speaker 5: But he even said at the end, he goes, we
Speaker 5: need to make sure these questions are not so tough.
Speaker 2: They're tough. Yes, it's the trivia mafia. People make him tough.
Speaker 2: It's it's trivia. You know you got to you gotta
Speaker 2: earn it, but you gotta earn it. But the bar
Speaker 2: was packed.
Speaker 6: It was a super fun night.
Speaker 2: That's awes fun what you just said. You believe you're
Speaker 2: going to fail. Your buddy leeve Olsvic also has very
Speaker 2: little faith in you.
Speaker 1: That's amazing.
Speaker 2: We were in Abbot's office a couple of days ago
Speaker 2: and she predicted zero points for you.
Speaker 1: She said, she said some terrible things about great friend.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks, Lee, you said your son would do better,
Speaker 2: but that that Belinda's getting a zero. Yeah right, I.
Speaker 5: Mean I brought him along for good luck. So is
Speaker 5: he good at this game? Are you his head?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 6: He plays with his friends, and he has a great
Speaker 6: time on Wednesday night.
Speaker 2: I knew he seemed smart, cool man like that guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that place was packed the other night. That's fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was.
Speaker 2: You get the waffle fries, I totally did you have
Speaker 2: to best waffle fries in the Twin Cities. It's not
Speaker 2: even close.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, And then that firecracker wrap thing, I don't even
Speaker 5: know for it bigger than your head.
Speaker 6: It's like amazing, let's.
Speaker 2: Go not bigger in Sauce's head, but I mean very true.
Speaker 1: Yeah. How was the reaction to your and it's been
Speaker 1: overwhelmingly positive and so much love. How was the reaction
Speaker 1: to your retirement announcement made you feel?
Speaker 6: Yeah, my uh my.
Speaker 5: Door code doesn't work anymore, so I think I'm supposed
Speaker 5: to leave. I'm not really sure now, Yeah, no, I'm good.
Speaker 5: I actually we announced last Monday here on this show,
Speaker 5: and we coil Monday, I guess it was. And then
Speaker 5: I decided to move, and so I haven't actually been
Speaker 5: to work for a bit. So when I get back,
Speaker 5: hopefully it will work. I'll be able to get in
Speaker 5: and do the show and the whole thing. So no,
Speaker 5: it's been great. You know, this code auction that I
Speaker 5: did that I'm doing. It's as of yesterday fourteen thousand dollars,
Speaker 5: so I know, the community really just stepped up. So
Speaker 5: all that money's going to the ICA Foodshelf. So that's fabulous,
Speaker 5: that's awesome. Yeah, people are really nice. I appreciate it
Speaker 5: for old coats, I mean for my coats.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was really cool.
Speaker 1: That is great.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you heard us praising you, and
Speaker 2: it's going to be awkward to praise you in front
Speaker 2: of you again. But Chad Hartman, our friend chat Hartman,
Speaker 2: a couple of days ago on Twitter, said that Belinda
Speaker 2: Jennison is the most beloved weather person in the history
Speaker 2: of the Twin Cities. And we were debating that on
Speaker 2: this show. No doubt you're a mount Rushmore person. But
Speaker 2: isn't it awesome that you're in the conversation, Like when
Speaker 2: you think of the names like Paul Douglas and you know,
Speaker 2: Ken Barlow, all these decades of people that have had
Speaker 2: long careers in the Twin Cities. If you're not number one,
Speaker 2: you're definitely in the conversation for number one. Nice.
Speaker 5: Well, he's right, though, hopefully the forecast has always been
Speaker 5: good for people who knows. Yeah, I mean there's there's
Speaker 5: a there's a there's a nice history of people here
Speaker 5: if you think about all the people that have done it, Dave.
Speaker 2: Dall and Dave Doll the conversation as well.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, a lot of people, so Mike Fairborne, Yeah,
Speaker 5: and you can go back to you know, I mean
Speaker 5: there's a lot of them.
Speaker 6: So yeah, pretty, it's very nice. Thank you.
Speaker 2: I've seen Dave Doll at the casino a couple of times.
Speaker 2: He likes to play cards. Well, he just moved up
Speaker 2: the charts. He's number one on my list unless Belinda
Speaker 2: likes to play cards.
Speaker 5: Well, I like I like well, I like the dice
Speaker 5: a little better. Maybe I wish they had craps in
Speaker 5: the state. That would be fun.
Speaker 2: How do you feel about this?
Speaker 6: You know, slots are kind of fun.
Speaker 1: I probably do blackjack though.
Speaker 6: If I was going to sit at a table.
Speaker 2: Come to Vegas with a power trip, we party. It's
Speaker 2: super funny. I've degenerate gamblers. Every one of us, that's
Speaker 2: like a couple of us have problems. Yeah, for sure,
Speaker 2: that's true.
Speaker 1: I don't know why you look at me, but you're right. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's right.
Speaker 4: That's right, yeah, Bell, question for you, Okay, I don't
Speaker 4: really have I don't have a fascination with the weather,
Speaker 4: but I feel like I pretty much always know the forecast,
Speaker 4: as in maybe a two day, three day basic I've
Speaker 4: I just always know.
Speaker 2: I'd like to be prepared.
Speaker 6: You feel it in your bones, sir, I feel it
Speaker 6: in women.
Speaker 2: We're in shorts.
Speaker 1: Leave it long? Since?
Speaker 2: What app do you use? Not because you need to know.
Speaker 4: If the cumulus clouds are going to come in from
Speaker 4: California in five days, but if you're just like.
Speaker 2: Is it gonna be hot and sticky?
Speaker 4: Or because we all on our Apple phones, you have
Speaker 4: the built in just basic weather app that's kind.
Speaker 2: Of on our homepage.
Speaker 4: I use that one, and then you're right next to
Speaker 4: it the Weather Channel.
Speaker 2: It makes an app. Those are my two.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be weird if she answered your question by saying,
Speaker 1: you know, right before I go in the air, I
Speaker 1: look on the WCCO app.
Speaker 6: Well, I was.
Speaker 5: I thought maybe the forecast would come up, even though
Speaker 5: I haven't been working.
Speaker 6: I did look.
Speaker 5: The care app has a good little seven day I'm
Speaker 5: looking at right now. Did you make that this is
Speaker 5: the seven day that I just got from my team.
Speaker 6: So there's that no to do.
Speaker 5: The forecast six to seven, six to seven days out,
Speaker 5: you are looking at a bunch of computer models. There's
Speaker 5: no app for that because all the apps are obviously
Speaker 5: computer driven. But then if you go to an app
Speaker 5: like CARO, leven or CCO or KSCP, then the meteorologists
Speaker 5: in that building will come up with their forecast and
Speaker 5: then their seven day will be on that app. So
Speaker 5: I would advise maybe going to that because then it
Speaker 5: actually has some human you know, sure connection and there's
Speaker 5: actually humans doing that forecast because for sure, the computer
Speaker 5: does a great job let's say twelve hours out, twenty
Speaker 5: four hours out, but then after that it just can
Speaker 5: go awry. So that's why when you look at these apps,
Speaker 5: you see all these different forecasts and you're like, Okay,
Speaker 5: which one do I want to believe? Well, let's believe
Speaker 5: the sunny one, right, But yeah, so.
Speaker 6: That there's that. There is that.
Speaker 5: So there's there's a bunch of computer models that actually
Speaker 5: we all pay for with our taxes, and they're all
Speaker 5: government models. There's the American model and a number of them,
Speaker 5: there's twenty five of them.
Speaker 6: So we look at those. That's what we do.
Speaker 5: We look at all those and then we look for trends,
Speaker 5: We look for patterns, we look for you know, sequences,
Speaker 5: and then we from there come up with the forecast.
Speaker 4: So you're telling me I should ditch my weather apps
Speaker 4: and I should be looking at the care eleven.
Speaker 5: Well, you know, the computers apps are fine to glance at,
Speaker 5: but then if you want to see if they're correct
Speaker 5: or not, then go to a forecast that's actually a
Speaker 5: human max gotcha.
Speaker 4: I have also heard whether people say that a seven
Speaker 4: day forecast is like it's because we as consumers and people,
Speaker 4: we want a seven day forecast, but really even five
Speaker 4: is a stretch to be accurate. And if you think
Speaker 4: about it, like today is Friday, your ability to tell
Speaker 4: us what next Friday is that's not really humanly possible.
Speaker 2: We should not expect you to know. I expect her
Speaker 2: to get Friday.
Speaker 5: That's ridiculous. Friday at eight thirty am. That's people actually
Speaker 5: do want. There's a trend, sure.
Speaker 4: But to say, like what we Linda said, it's gonna
Speaker 4: be thirty five next Friday.
Speaker 1: What's going on?
Speaker 2: I can't hold you to that. Well, it's a full
Speaker 2: week away.
Speaker 5: It's obviously trying to harness the chaos theory.
Speaker 6: It is the cast theory.
Speaker 5: So the atmosphere is you know, fluid, it's liquid, so yeah,
Speaker 5: you know the butterfly effect.
Speaker 6: If butterfly flaps.
Speaker 5: Swings in Australia, it could be a windstorm in California
Speaker 5: three days later. So I mean that's you know, sort
Speaker 5: of exaggerating, but not really because obviously every single day matters,
Speaker 5: like what happens upstream of every other spot like here.
Speaker 5: So I would say that it's gotten better and better,
Speaker 5: but I would say past four days, then you're more
Speaker 5: in a trend or in an in a like a
Speaker 5: an area of forecasts like let's say four or five degrees.
Speaker 5: But the forecast, I mean, the the apps are getting
Speaker 5: better and better. Not the apps, but the models are
Speaker 5: getting better and better. Since I've been there, I've been
Speaker 5: doing this for thirty six years, there's there's a lot more.
Speaker 5: The grid is tighter, the forecasts are better, the severe
Speaker 5: forecasts are better, the hurricane forecasts are better.
Speaker 2: So that's good.
Speaker 6: But still it is the cast theory.
Speaker 5: And we still have a dartboard at Caro leven once
Speaker 5: in a while, just throw it art, you know.
Speaker 2: That's pretty awesome.
Speaker 6: That's how it goes.
Speaker 2: A lot of stand up comedians do a bit somewhat
Speaker 2: similar to this, But why do people care so much
Speaker 2: about what the weather at the airport is?
Speaker 6: Exactly? Nobody lives at there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So why why do a lot of podcasts say like, yeah,
Speaker 2: at the airport, it's.
Speaker 5: Well this because that's where they are actually recording the high,
Speaker 5: the low, the snow, the rain, the climate. They're they're
Speaker 5: forecasting or they're recording the climate at the airport because
Speaker 5: that's where the Weather Service is.
Speaker 6: So that's why the forecast, and that's where the balloons
Speaker 6: go up.
Speaker 5: They have two balloons a day, two hundred and seventy
Speaker 5: three spots across the US. Our National Weather Service here
Speaker 5: in Minneapolis, they still record everything at MSP, but it's
Speaker 5: in chan Hassen, So the balloon goes up from Chan.
Speaker 1: They still use balloons for real. Yeah, twice a day.
Speaker 5: Wow, they have to, Yeah, because so there's a balloon
Speaker 5: that goes up from here to the ion sphere. It
Speaker 5: records everything every tenth of a second, every parameter, and
Speaker 5: then that's a profile of the atmosphere in two hundred
Speaker 5: and seventy three spots and then that is the that's
Speaker 5: the raw data that goes into the computer models that
Speaker 5: they extrapolate from.
Speaker 1: Can I be dumb? How come I don't ever see it?
Speaker 1: Is it a giant balloon?
Speaker 6: Is this does super giant?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 6: You should go see it sometime.
Speaker 5: It pops and then there is a parachute and it
Speaker 5: comes down, and it's a light little box that has
Speaker 5: a radio, a radiosnd in a radio transmitter that's transmitting
Speaker 5: all the information back to the weather service, back to
Speaker 5: the computers. And then if you find it, they say
Speaker 5: please return it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, please return? How high up before it pops?
Speaker 6: I on a sphere?
Speaker 2: Which is how high?
Speaker 5: I have no idea. I can't think that much this right,
Speaker 5: I had better get my act together.
Speaker 2: But like higher than planes? Are we talking like?
Speaker 1: Oh yes?
Speaker 2: Like fifty thousand feet yeah, sixty thousand feet?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: And then it pops and just falls down over the parachute, and.
Speaker 5: I think it's two I think it's two hundred and
Speaker 5: seventy three spots.
Speaker 6: To do it twice a day.
Speaker 1: It seems archaic.
Speaker 5: No, it's no, it isn't, because that's how you get
Speaker 5: a profile.
Speaker 2: The atmosphere like a real I get it.
Speaker 1: But you know, I mean, I would way, that's that's amazing.
Speaker 1: I can't believe I didn't know that.
Speaker 6: That's how they get it.
Speaker 5: And then that's the raw data that goes into all
Speaker 5: the models, and then all the models have different algorithms
Speaker 5: that have the forecast that goes out.
Speaker 6: Two, four, six, eight, ten days.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's really something.
Speaker 5: And then if there's bad weather, they'll send it an
Speaker 5: extra balloon, like they'll send up a one o'clock balloon
Speaker 5: because they want to get a profile the atmosphere to
Speaker 5: see if anything's changed since the one that went up
Speaker 5: at I think it's seven am and seven pm or
Speaker 5: six am and six pm.
Speaker 1: Forgive me if you just said this, because my mind
Speaker 1: was blown. How big is the balloon? Like like big
Speaker 1: as this room or big as me?
Speaker 6: No, it's half as big as this room.
Speaker 1: No kidding, that's fascinating to me. Yeah, I'm sure, Zach
Speaker 1: m But.
Speaker 2: Zach knows all about weather balloons. I'm sure you're a
Speaker 2: weather balloon guy. I love watching them every day. Was
Speaker 2: it four o'clock in the morning they launched or something?
