Speaker 1: All right, so I'm glad we don't just stare at
Speaker 1: the Florida in a commercial brace because Lou Ragusa said
Speaker 1: something that blew my mind.
Speaker 2: So did you hear that?
Speaker 1: Walking in Jardy? Just said I just heard the twitch thing? So, Lou,
Speaker 1: what did you just say about Techmo super Bowl? So
Speaker 1: remember the old nes game Techmo super Bowl? When I
Speaker 1: was a Buffalo, I got into playing it competitively. What
Speaker 1: And there's there's kind of like an online community. So
Speaker 1: as you're talking about Twitch, I actually use that a
Speaker 1: little bit. That's how you find the people online to
Speaker 1: play against. So you're a competitive techmol super Bowl player? Yeah,
Speaker 1: so legitimately pretty good at it? Yes, relative like extremely.
Speaker 2: Good at it.
Speaker 1: Sure it could beat anyone that that doesn't know how
Speaker 1: to play the way the competitive people play in the tournaments.
Speaker 1: But there I don't know if they still have it
Speaker 1: or not, but they used to have a national championship
Speaker 1: in Madison and I never got out of the final
Speaker 1: thirty two for that. So nationwide there's some really good players.
Speaker 1: But I did win one tournament in Buffalo when I
Speaker 1: was there, and it was pretty popular there. That's pretty cool, man,
Speaker 1: that's really cool. No one, do you like the Bills?
Speaker 1: The Bills were probably the team back exactly. They were
Speaker 1: Techno Super Bowl. I was just staying the other day, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: when Joey Browner passed away, Like, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: names from the eighties that a lot of us grew
Speaker 1: up learning football players and techmobiles exactly. Even if I
Speaker 1: didn't watch a lot of Vikings football in the eighties
Speaker 1: because I was too young, I knew their names from
Speaker 1: that game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't know who Carl Lee was exactly if
Speaker 2: it wasn't here.
Speaker 1: He's a good corner on Techno super Bowl. And I
Speaker 1: probably have his football card too. That was the other way, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's sweet man. I didn't know you could ball
Speaker 2: a little bit. Do you play any other old school
Speaker 2: anys games?
Speaker 1: Well, I mean like Super Mario three or Doctor Mario.
Speaker 2: Some ran so Baseball Stars is a really good one.
Speaker 1: But there was a kind of a variant called Little
Speaker 1: League Baseball that I actually like.
Speaker 2: A little bit. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Doctor Mario was obviously in response to how popular Tetris was.
Speaker 1: Everybody the world was going nuts for Tetris, and then
Speaker 1: somebody at Nintendo said, how do we combine Tetris with
Speaker 1: our love of Mario? And they just made Doctor Mario.
Speaker 1: And it is different enough that it's sure and you
Speaker 1: play competitively against someone and it's a race, so that
Speaker 1: any game on the old school Nintendo that you can
Speaker 1: play against somebody competitively is still fun.
Speaker 2: That's sweet.
Speaker 3: Man, Are you guys gonna hang out after?
Speaker 2: I don't want to get smoked and technical I'm not
Speaker 2: good at that.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I'll kick his ass in Mario
Speaker 1: cart but he's going to smoke me and everything else,
Speaker 1: it sounds you can still create a little disparity by
Speaker 1: being one of the bad teams and letting the opponent
Speaker 1: be a good team. It's still hard to beat someone
Speaker 1: if it's you know, San Francisco versus the Patriots are
Speaker 1: the worst team on that game.
Speaker 4: Think about that.
Speaker 1: Times they have a change, but we referenced the time.
Speaker 1: There's so many games in the nineties and beyond that
Speaker 1: there was that unofficial like rule of the unwritten rule
Speaker 1: of like like when you played the hockey games in
Speaker 1: the nineties, you can't be the Red Wings. It's not fair.
Speaker 1: No anybody with the Red Wings, because then it's just
Speaker 1: it's just not even a fair fight. Even if you
Speaker 1: if you're giving the worst player of the two of
Speaker 1: you the Red Wings, just like, well, now you're gonna
Speaker 1: probably beat me.
Speaker 2: This isn't cool. You can't be the Rams in the
Speaker 2: late nineties manager, or.
Speaker 1: You couldn't be Michael Vick and the Falcons when when
Speaker 1: he was a dominant video game athlete.
Speaker 4: It's not fair.
Speaker 1: Yep, so is bo Jackson like your all time favorite
Speaker 1: player then based on that game.
Speaker 2: He was for a long time, I believe, But he's
Speaker 2: I love the myth.
Speaker 1: I love how Bo Jackson's myth is bigger than he
Speaker 1: really was as a player. If you if you go
Speaker 1: to you know, pro football stats and you look at
Speaker 1: his stats, it's not that impressive.
Speaker 2: But they made a cartoon with him and Jordan and Gretzky.
Speaker 2: Remember that. Oh yeah, he was.
Speaker 1: He was pop culture was viral before you went viral, commercials.
Speaker 2: Video games, yack mobile. He was the whole bit.
Speaker 1: Ye started it was that really cool baseball cartoon where
Speaker 1: he has the football shoulder pads on and then the bat.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Iconic, Yeah, iconic.
Speaker 1: Tons of us had that poster in our arms. And
Speaker 1: then I had like Kelly Kapowski and like Weezer's Blue.
Speaker 5: Album and Boys on the Block or whatever new Kids
Speaker 5: on the Block you're thinking about Zach's room.
Speaker 1: I had the Kramer remember the uh yeah, the portrait
Speaker 1: of the Cosmo course. Yeah, did you have the George
Speaker 1: Costanza on the couch mill too?
Speaker 2: Also iconic? Yeah? Man, all right, should we do sports
Speaker 2: quickly before we get the game?
Speaker 6: Can I make a point with the very first sports
Speaker 6: story do you mind?
Speaker 1: Of course, it's time for Fan five on the Power Trip,
Speaker 1: brought to you by the Saint Paul Safe.
Speaker 5: Thank you, say Paul Saints. We appreciate that very much.
Speaker 5: They're playing baseball. I believe it's the first Friday night
Speaker 5: fireworks night of the year down at cchs Field tonight.
Speaker 5: And they got Hoodius to give away too, So going down,
Speaker 5: thank you Saints.
Speaker 1: Hey, speaking of that, because because it's not only the
Speaker 1: Saints game, but we have a you know, a Twins
Speaker 1: game as well.
Speaker 2: And I'm looking at the weather forecast.
Speaker 1: It looks like it's what eighty five percent chance of
Speaker 1: some kind of rain, some kind Right?
Speaker 2: What happened to the three days of snow and sleet
Speaker 2: and hell? And what happened.
Speaker 6: Exactly up north as we.
Speaker 2: Speak, But we missed it completely correct and went bubb
Speaker 2: us right.
Speaker 1: Echo, Yeah, I think, Yeah, the old jet stream or
Speaker 1: something pushed it all up, and now we're getting warmer
Speaker 1: weather than they expected, and then instead of the snow,
Speaker 1: it's now the rain.
Speaker 6: That's how you report.
Speaker 2: Yeah, correct, there you go. Watch up.
Speaker 5: A athletic article I was just reading just now during
Speaker 5: that break from our friend Alex Lewis made a point
Speaker 5: that I hadn't thought of. We brought in Kyle Murray. Yeah, Murphy,
Speaker 5: think about the difference between what we paid Kyler Murray
Speaker 5: to come in and what the Raiders just paid to
Speaker 5: bring in.
Speaker 1: Kirk Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Ten million more.
Speaker 5: Yeah, think about that, and how much younger he is,
Speaker 5: literally ten years younger. I just that's that's one perspective
Speaker 5: I hadn't thought of. We brought in a pro caliber
Speaker 5: starter who has a future for a nine million dollars
Speaker 5: less great point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the best argument for Kyle Murphy, I miss Kyle Murphy,
Speaker 1: Kyler whatever is actress the best. The best argument is
Speaker 1: the price tag. It's an absolute fre year roll. If
Speaker 1: it does cost you nothing, you move on. The only
Speaker 1: thing you've wasted is your time. And if it goes
Speaker 1: horribly south, you have a top. You have a very
Speaker 1: good pick and a very good quarterback drive horribly south.
Speaker 1: Oh so was your sister? Come on, now, my sister,
Speaker 1: Lou Lou Hawk has a sister who's a prostitute.
Speaker 5: She was what was was now she's an escort.
Speaker 1: She's missing though, So Lou, if you could look into that's.
Speaker 6: Saying, she's not missing meals, I'll tell you that.
Speaker 2: Okay, got Marty.
Speaker 1: The Timberwolves lost to the Kissions one thirteen, one o eight,
Speaker 1: No aunt, So he is now eligible for NBA Postseason Awards.
Speaker 1: And we were just talking about, you know, all these rich,
Speaker 1: top paid guys in the NFL. So look, no one's
Speaker 1: crying for Anthony Edwards. He's going to have hundreds of
Speaker 1: millions of dollars. It's not the end of the world,
Speaker 1: but it is. Don't forget this. This is tied to
Speaker 1: future money. Like so if he does not make All
Speaker 1: NBA next year, then I believe the super Max is
Speaker 1: out the door for him, right, Isn't that how that
Speaker 1: works because you have to have a certain number of
Speaker 1: All nbas within a certain window. And the fact that
Speaker 1: he misses it now this year because he's not eligible
Speaker 1: for it, and he would have been in the top
Speaker 1: three teams, he's a top fifteen plars.
Speaker 2: So if he somehow doesn't make it next year because
Speaker 2: he has.
Speaker 1: Injuries or something or a really weird bad year, which
Speaker 1: is very unlikely it's more injury based, then the next
Speaker 1: time he signs a deal, he's not eligible for the Supermax.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 2: So again, no one's crying for him. He's going to
Speaker 2: be just fine.
Speaker 1: But that theoretically could be what tens of millions of
Speaker 1: dollars maybe for missing a handful of games.
Speaker 3: And this was voted on in the last CBAS, which
Speaker 3: means the players voted on it, right, So this this
Speaker 3: is not going away because it actually has created exactly
Speaker 3: what the NBA wanted, which was the superstar players playing
Speaker 3: more games. And if you look at like Nikola Jokicic
Speaker 3: when he had his was a knee injury, Guys who
Speaker 3: have had like hamstring, calf, whatever, they're coming back a
Speaker 3: little sooner. Or even Wemby when he came back from
Speaker 3: his calf, he was playing like a minutes restriction of whatever.
Speaker 3: It was twenty four minutes and he was sticking to that.
Speaker 3: But he probably came back earlier because he was trying
Speaker 3: to make himself eligible. So it is working in that sense.
Speaker 3: It is getting guys to play more games. They're still
Speaker 3: going to miss when they're hurt, yes, but the point
Speaker 3: is they're trying to not have guys just sit out
Speaker 3: because it's a back to back or it's a game
Speaker 3: we're gonna win by twenty and then the fans are
Speaker 3: paying money to go see your team, say in Indiana,
Speaker 3: and Indiana is a terrible team, so you're gonna rest
Speaker 3: your superstars and the NBA does not want that. And
Speaker 3: so this has been effective to put this sixty five
Speaker 3: game threshold in so it's not going away.
Speaker 2: Where the Spurs really the first too. They use load management.
Speaker 6: And I'm gonna tell you why I know this.
Speaker 5: I was just reading a book about stoicism and the
Speaker 5: gentleman is referencing the coach what.
Speaker 2: Was this name, Popovich?
Speaker 5: Popovich and Popovich chose to do the right thing instead
Speaker 5: of the popular thing, and the right thing for his
Speaker 5: team was to rest his players.
Speaker 2: Right, And that's it. It's game theory as well.
Speaker 1: Right, it's the optimal choice to win the title is
Speaker 1: not the same as the optimal choice to win the game. Right,
Speaker 1: Popovich was playing the season optimization when the NBA doesn't
Speaker 1: want the games to suffer. But that's the problem with
Speaker 1: the sixty five game rule is that they're at odds.
Speaker 5: And I believe that, Margie, if you know this number correctly,
Speaker 5: I think they find him two hundred thousand dollars or
Speaker 5: something like that. Yeah, like right away for doing it.
Speaker 5: They find him. He's like, fine, find me. I want
Speaker 5: I want to win. I want to take care of
Speaker 5: my players.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: And so it's interesting what you just said, Hawk, you
Speaker 3: said pop did the right thing. You're saying he did
Speaker 3: the right thing for his team exactly, and somebody who
Speaker 3: went to the game might say he didn't do the
Speaker 3: right thing for the fans. It's an interesting especially if
Speaker 3: you were let's say it was a road game and
Speaker 3: some let's say they were playing in Minnesota, and Minnesota
Speaker 3: fans bought tickets because they wanted to see Tim Duncan
Speaker 3: or whoever whoever rested that day.
Speaker 6: Boy, you know what, Marks, I could argue both sides
Speaker 6: of the argument.
Speaker 2: Yes, I don't know what.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know what's right?
Speaker 3: Interesting And the real answer is that the NBA season
Speaker 3: should be seventy games instead of eighty two or pick
Speaker 3: your number.
Speaker 2: Or twelve yeah, twelve games, yeah, or somewhere in between.
Speaker 3: But that will never change because then the money will change.
Speaker 1: But you would also have to assume that the teams
Speaker 1: would still then try to maximize the game instead of
Speaker 1: maximizing the title. Right, because even if you cut at
Speaker 1: the seventy, it's still optimal to not have them go
Speaker 1: all out for all seventy injury risk, stamina, endurance, all that.
Speaker 3: But when you're looking at three games a week, right
Speaker 3: instead of four?
Speaker 5: And if I made take this and I'm sorry, but
Speaker 5: go in the weeds. But reading close to him his
Speaker 5: book about football, the thing you just said about the
Speaker 5: amount of games and you lose money. The NFL only
Speaker 5: plays how many regular season games, seventy and they make
Speaker 5: way more money than everybody a point. Yeah, And he
Speaker 5: points that out in this book, and it's one of
Speaker 5: the reasons the NFL is so successful, it's.
Speaker 6: Because it makes every game so much more important. That's there,
Speaker 6: you go.
Speaker 1: It's like we only play Initials once a week because
Speaker 1: that was organic and it was well done.
Speaker 5: I'm going to say it right now, Chad Abbott has
Speaker 5: an e because of what you just did.
Speaker 6: That was a great trend.
Speaker 1: Oh got It took me a minute that he had,
Speaker 1: like an electric car he does.
Speaker 6: That's what I meant, I met.
Speaker 2: What did you think he meant? Explain what he meant?
Speaker 1: He meant? He meant.
Speaker 6: Love shed See, I'm correct.
Speaker 2: You're not reading the books still? Are you? Really? All right?
Speaker 1: Lou Ra Goose?
Speaker 2: Do you believe you're good at this game? I don't know.
Speaker 2: You don't know.
Speaker 1: I have the play at home game. I like you,
Speaker 1: and I always end up being the reader. Okay, so
Speaker 1: I really haven't played it a lot of That probably
Speaker 1: means they think you're gonna win, which means they stick
Speaker 1: you with the expectations. High Yep, all right. Lou Ra
Speaker 1: Goose makes his Initials debut. Marty Gellinger, Sauce and Hawk
Speaker 1: square off after this, and one of you gets to
Speaker 1: crack at one hundred and thirteen thousand dollars up.

Speaker 5: said could use a gun and you don't trap somebody
Speaker 5: with a gun. I should have used Trader instead. Trapper yelled, Yeah,
Speaker 5: I got it, I got it.
Speaker 2: You've been in a real groove though.
Speaker 3: Even when you're wrong, you are absolutely on the right trail.
Speaker 2: It's been impressive because you were so bad.
Speaker 1: I was so for so long, so bad for Is
Speaker 1: this like a Kurk Cameron Dudley Moore situation? Because why

Speaker 2: You can't play all of a sudden, James.
Speaker 1: The last two years you've been dominant, and now the

Speaker 5: There's one thing I say to her every time she
Speaker 5: comes into the show that completely throws her off her game.
Speaker 5: And earlier I said that thing about you not being
Speaker 5: any good initials anymore.
Speaker 6: Got in your head.
Speaker 2: The letters game got in your head.
Speaker 1: The mental part of this game.
Speaker 5: I see, I see, I'm playing just they're just non
Speaker 5: masterlink game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna have to check my vitamins. I did
Speaker 3: change the vitamins. You definitely from sent from silver to
Speaker 3: some other women's over fifty.
Speaker 2: It's a great feeling. Takes the same I do.
Speaker 6: I take women over fifty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And he goes to Talbot's.
Speaker 6: I'm a mastermind.
Speaker 2: He loves Talbots. How did you name the book?
Speaker 1: Well, so the main bad guy there, Tim Omicker, tells
Speaker 1: everyone his name is Atlas. Except for his taekwondo students.
Speaker 1: He requires that he's called Master Omaker, and even his
Speaker 1: girlfriend that he dated after Nikki, after they were living
Speaker 1: together and dating for a while, she's still called him Master,
Speaker 1: which is really bizarre. But anyway, I think if you
Speaker 1: you know the shooting happened, you know he wasn't the
Speaker 1: shooter because he was inside.
Speaker 2: But was he the mastermind? And he's Master Omicker, So it's.
Speaker 1: Kind of this whole double meaning thing that makes a
Speaker 1: lot of sense.
Speaker 2: I appreciate that explanation.
Speaker 1: But from now on, by the way, I want you
Speaker 1: guys to refer to me as Atlas.
Speaker 2: You know, I've officially changed my name Atlas. I was
Speaker 2: gonna say that was what was yesterday's episode? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Again, So like, that's my favorite part of why we
Speaker 1: name the podcast, the way that we name him. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of our listeners see the podcast titled and like,
Speaker 1: what in the sweet hell is this going to be?
Speaker 1: And then you sometimes have to wait an hour And
Speaker 1: somebody tweeted yesterday that they couldn't wait to see what
Speaker 1: ass blow is going to be and as the person
Speaker 1: on Twitter said, it did not disappoint. And then a
Speaker 1: picture on my pho, Yeah, look at this loo photoshopped
Speaker 1: frosted tips under your photo.
Speaker 2: That's awesome. It looks pretty good.
Speaker 6: Yeah, man, you look good.
Speaker 3: It was the title of the podcast I haven't listened
Speaker 3: to yesterday. Was it a Tommy Elson story?
Speaker 2: No, it wasn't. Here.
Speaker 1: What do you say, Chris? You said it like something flow?
Speaker 1: And I thought he said it was something like, wasn't
Speaker 1: flow a blow? It's like Jesus clean out your ears?
Speaker 1: But it wasn't even close to what Chris said, house blow.
Speaker 2: Yep. And that's how we do it.
Speaker 1: So we did.
Speaker 2: That's radio. That's radio. It's really really, really good radio.
Speaker 1: Yep. We nailed it. All right, yeah, this this book
Speaker 1: looks legit. Man, this looks really good. Yeah, looking forward
Speaker 1: to it's like a sad story, but uh, you know
Speaker 1: it has a happy ending and it has it has
Speaker 1: uplifting moments. So it's not your I mean, obviously the
Speaker 1: victim survives, right, so it's not you're not leaning towards
Speaker 1: that horrible conclusion.
Speaker 2: As you start reading. And so I think it's different.
Speaker 1: It's different than a lot of true crime, and I
Speaker 1: think I approach the stuff differently than you know, some
Speaker 1: of the true crime people do. Sure, So do you
Speaker 1: have an idea for book number three or is that
Speaker 1: still a ways out?
Speaker 2: I have ideas.
Speaker 1: You know, the hardest thing is cooperation with the people
Speaker 1: you need to write a book and their willingness. And
Speaker 1: you know, it would be a pr nightmare if I
Speaker 1: wrote a book about somebody that didn't want it to
Speaker 1: be done. So you know, that's all part of it.
Speaker 1: So it's all a bunch of things are just always
Speaker 1: in the mix.
Speaker 6: You want a real mystery.
Speaker 5: I just got the letter from Emily that we all
Speaker 5: got about celebrating April anniversaries for working at the company.
Speaker 5: How did I last twenty nine years at this tinto
Speaker 5: twenty nine years this year April sixteenth nine.
