00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 5: I've never seen him do that.

37
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:43,920

38
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:44,280

Speaker 7: in the way that they both did it.

50
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 3: You're never going to see that again, guarantee.

Speaker 8: Zacho Zachary, Yeah, that was really cool. I was just

64
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 8: a live barn. You can go on the archive. You

65
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 8: can see and there's just teams that everybody watching the

66
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 8: game on the ice at all rinks across the state.

67
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 8: And then I'll celebrate it and cheering and interrupting games

68
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 8: and stuff just to recognize the gold medals.

69
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 5: So sweet.

70
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 4: What do you guys like better? And what does it

71
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 4: say about me that I like them equally? The celebrations

72
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 4: from the bars across the country the Americans lose in

73
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 4: their minds, I like just as much watching the Canadian

74
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 4: fans drop their jaws and basically pout in shame. I

75
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 4: think they're equally fun for the same reason. You guys

76
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 4: have a favorite. Would you rather watch.

77
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 5: The the guys on Team Canada?

78
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: Yeah?

79
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 5: I mean this time, why were they doing that.

80
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 10: But there are a few of them that immediately is

81
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 10: the camera pan. They just like put it down on

82
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 10: the ice or on like the bench behind them.

83
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 4: Man, again, the eye roll from Nathan McKinnon is just epic. Yeah,

84
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 4: don't give me a toy. I just lost the gold medal.

85
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 4: I don't want this.

86
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 10: And like when you lose the Super Bowl, you just

87
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 10: leave the field. They had to stand there for like

88
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 10: a half hour week. You got to get your silver metal.

89
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I think there's one thing to stand there

90
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 6: after losing and trying to take it all in and

91
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 6: use it as fuel to you know, move forward in

92
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 6: the future. But then you get your handed the stuff animal.

93
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 6: I think that might be the toughest part the locker room.

94
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 5: We'll just pick them if we want them.

95
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 4: Did Drake may get a lttle boobu after the Super Bowl?

96
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 4: Like here you go, buddy. I don't think so. But again,

97
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 4: they got to be worse something. Put them straight on eBay, Yeah,

98
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 4: Anthony something.

99
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 2: I hate to ask the question this way because I'm

100
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 2: trying to find the information and I don't want to.

101
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: I hope I'm not putting you on there. You were

102
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 2: still in the egos when you guys were in the

103
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, So as we're talking

104
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: about what, you know, I mean, that's how was That's tough, right,

105
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 2: It's tough.

106
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 6: You know. You you you go through the entire preparation

107
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 6: leading up to it. You know, you're you're executing in

108
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 6: the first half, and then second half you come out

109
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 6: and then you don't get the end result when they

110
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 6: clock his zero. And so for me, it was just

111
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 6: about a moment of like of just taking it all in,

112
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 6: you know, seeing the other guys on the sideline celebrate,

113
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 6: watching the confetti come down, and then looking around at

114
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 6: my teammates and seeing guys, you know, some guys taking

115
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 6: in moments, some guys you know, trying to reach out

116
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 6: and give handshakes and congratulate guys, and other guys just

117
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 6: deciding to leave the field. And everybody handles it differently,

118
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 6: but I think just being there, seeing the experience, and

119
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 6: it is taking a moment to understand how close you

120
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 6: actually were. And the one thing I always tell people about,

121
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 6: I believe it was two thousand and or eighteen or

122
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 6: seventeen when we lost to Philly in Philly to play

123
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 6: in the Super Bowl in Minneapolis, as a younger guy,

124
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 6: I tell people all the time, I didn't actually realize

125
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 6: and it's gonna sound kind of crazy that like we

126
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 6: were one game away, and it was it was the

127
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 6: idea of we were taking it one game at a time,

128
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 6: focusing on just that game that we had coming up

129
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 6: that week, and so I never took a moment to

130
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 6: really look that far and understand that if we win

131
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 6: this game, we're playing in Minneapolis. Yeah, that's how focused

132
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 6: I was, and a lot of guys were on winning

133
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 6: that game. And so from that moment on, I decided to, like,

134
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 6: you know, take a little bit more time after each game,

135
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 6: in different moments and really just understand where we really are,

136
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 6: where I am and the position that I'm in, be

137
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 6: grateful for it, and then understanding what's the next step

138
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 6: from there?

139
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: Can you guys remember thirty eight thirty five loss to

140
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 2: the Chiefs and that Super Bowl?

141
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 11: Oh man, Yeah, what was that flight? Like home the

142
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 11: next day? Like what happens? What happens from like this

143
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,119
Speaker 11: the Super Bowl? All this stuff, I mean both winning

144
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 11: and losing teams. But obviously so you run the losing side,

145
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 11: so like obviously less celebration. Yeah, but you spend the

146
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 11: night and then what like a nine o'clock flight the

147
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 11: next day, and then it's is it just like, yes,

148
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 11: feel like a funeral.

149
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 3: It's a weird it's a weird dynamic.

150
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 6: You know, you lose, and like any other game, you know,

151
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 6: you take a flight back, you know your family's not there,

152
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 6: you don't spend that much time with them, so it's

153
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 6: more of a quicker transition in any other game. But

154
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 6: in the Super Bowl, you know your your entire family's there,

155
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 6: or you have a good number of support people who

156
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 6: flew in for the game, and so afterwards, everyone's not

157
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 6: just going to their home, you know, they're in the

158
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 6: hotel room and so different people are just kind of

159
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 6: hanging out in the lobby or hanging out in the room,

160
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 6: and you're really just going through that process, you know,

161
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 6: with your family. And then there are other guys who

162
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 6: decide to hey, we lost, can't change it. It's kind

163
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 6: of in the past, and they go out and they

164
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 6: kind of just have a few drinks and try to

165
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 6: you know, soap over the moment. So everybody handles it differently,

166
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 6: but it's kind it's kind of a weird feeling in

167
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 6: a mixed bag of emotions.

168
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: What about the emotions of stomping the forty nine ers

169
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 2: in the NFC Championship Game and knowing you're going to

170
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl.

171
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 6: Oh, it's it's one of those things where you just

172
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 6: the team's just rolling. You know, the team's rolling, and

173
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 6: then you're like, you don't really quite it doesn't hit

174
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 6: you until the fetti comes down. Like there's a feeling

175
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 6: of hey, we're going to the super Bowl. But then

176
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 6: there's also like a kind of a surreal moment once

177
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 6: you see the confetti kind of fall down, and then

178
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 6: there's family on the field, and there's all the performance

179
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 6: in the stage and the things that are rolling out

180
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 6: afterwards to kind of celebrate that win. That really kind

181
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 6: of solidifies. Okay, now we're going on to the next stage.

182
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 4: Who is the who's the halftime performer of the year?

183
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 4: You were in the Super Bowl? I can't quite remember,

184
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 4: which means you didn't come out early and take a

185
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 4: peek at it?

186
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 6: Then no, I remember it was someone where guys was like,

187
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 6: I'm gonna peak out, and they're kind of joking saying, yeah,

188
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 6: I'm gonna I'm gonna have to try to take.

189
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 4: A see if I can then there was nothing and

190
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 4: it was nothing.

191
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 6: But from there like the process of longer halftimes staying loose,

192
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 6: and you're really focused on how can I be prepared

193
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 6: to come out in the second half with the extended

194
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 6: period of time that you have during the halftime.

195
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: Shown it n Yeah.

196
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 10: Which what was it like being on the field, on

197
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 10: the defensive side of the field when the Minneapolis miracle happened?

198
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 6: Uh? I just remember being on the sideline and just

199
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 6: thinking about like, I'm a guy. We all intil the

200
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 6: clockha zero, we always have a chance. And so the

201
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 6: first thing I thought, I was like, how this game

202
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 6: has been with a lot of ups and downs and

203
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 6: a lot of excitement. I'm thinking, we're returning this kick,

204
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 6: like you know that we're returning this kick is going

205
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 6: to be an amazing moment.

206
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 5: And you know, he looks like he's about to spring

207
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 5: and he gets tackling.

208
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 6: It's like, well, okay, now what's the next possible scenario

209
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 6: And I'm like, you know, we can make a big

210
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 6: play down field and get out of bounce and kick

211
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 6: a field goal, try to send it to overtime. And

212
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 6: from there, you know, he catches the ball and he

213
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 6: I'm like, okay, we got time out of bounds. Out

214
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 6: of bounds because you don't quite see just look on

215
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 6: the big screen, and then you see him look back

216
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 6: and you're like, wait, there's nobody around, and he's like

217
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 6: he's actually going to score. And so from there it's

218
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 6: just a crazy amount of motions like wow, I thought

219
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 6: that it would be a possibility. I'm like, there's no

220
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 6: way our se season could just end like this, and

221
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 6: I'm sure that that's a moment that they had and

222
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 6: but fortunately, forget the Vikings fans and myself, we were

223
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 6: able to put it off, so it was it was

224
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 6: definitely a wild moment.

225
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: Wow, that's one.

226
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:17,040

292
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 12: about it because I actually wrote a term paper in

293
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 12: tenth grade and interviewed Paul Douglas on the phone and

294
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 12: then ended up getting an A on the paper.

295
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 9: And got his job.

298
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 12: kind of an interesting thing, like I never thought this

299
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 12: is what I was going to do. I thought i'd

300
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 12: go into education, That's what my goal was with meteorology.

301

00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 12: women and these wonderful anchors. And I went, yeah, this

316
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 12: is not I don't think I can act this. I

317
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 12: don't think I'm going to do this. So then I

318
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 12: went and got a master's degree to be an educator.

319
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 12: But then I decided in Salt Lake City that one

320
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 12: of the stations wasn't so good and I thought they

321
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 12: maybe needed a producer. So I showed up there in

322
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 12: my sweats, and then the morning guy that they made

323
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 12: me train in skipped town. And that's how I got

324
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 12: into television.

325
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 5: Wow, no kidding, Yeah, whatever happened to him.

326
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 9: I have no idea. Probably dead.

327
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 1: Your big announcements, now you can admit you got.

328
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 4: She's an investigative reporting who cares for that guy? Has

329
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 4: it worked out for her?

330
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 5: He is probably dead?

331
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 6: Probably?

332
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 12: No, his name was Steve you know what yep, yep,

333
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 12: rip but yep.

334
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 9: So anyway, yeah, that was what happened. I trained him in.

335
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 12: I was the producer. I trained him in. The main

336
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 12: weather guy was a wanta be game show host. He

337
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 12: is on the game show Network now.

338
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 9: Oh.

339
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 12: His name was Dave Nemuth and he and so the station,

340
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 12: let's just say, did not have a lot of meteorologists

341
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 12: that were working there in Salt Lake City. The other

342
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 12: stations did, but that one didn't. So I trained in

343
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 12: the new guy. He lasted two weeks. Morning show launched

344
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 12: nineteen ninety. Kind of if you're launching a morning show

345
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 12: in nineteen ninety in the forty first market in Salt

346
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 12: Lake City, you're probably not a very good station, right,

347
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 12: And they hired him. His name was Steve, and I

348
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 12: trained him in and then he stopped showing up about

349
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 12: two weeks in.

350
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 7: So, Belinda, you were on our show for years. Absolutely

351
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 7: loved having you on the show with us. Heines made

352
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,240

00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,720

354
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 7: showed up at your door. That was a weird moment,

355
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 7: that weird morning.

356
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 12: And I was at my house because I did a

Speaker 9: Back in the day, we'd have a microphone the house.

Speaker 1: So much fun. Oh my god, Oh my gosh. I

362
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: thought you could just remember a few of them.

363
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 4: So if we can back up thirty seconds though, so

364

Speaker 7: I was just like, oh my goodness.

00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 4: It sounds like you shot your shot and now found

00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 4: an excuse to the same why you were at your

Speaker 4: front flowers.

371
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 7: But the look that she gave me when she opened

372
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 7: the door was like, oh no, no.

373
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 9: That's not true.

374
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 12: How you I just think I was, honestly, you know,

375
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 12: in a role, but like my cup of coffee, going

376
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 12: what did I do wrong?

377
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 9: And why are you here?

378
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 5: Why do I deserve this? Blinda? Though?

379
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 7: How long did you like grind thinking about okay, retirement

380
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 7: and wanting to get to the spot where you go,

381
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 7: all right, I'm done?

382
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 12: You know It's care has been this blessing in my life,

383
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 12: no question.

384
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 9: Thirty three years at that place.

385
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 12: I started out as a weekend meteorologist and the host

386
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 12: of the Saturday Morning Show. And in those thirty three years,

387
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 12: they let me, of course do the franchise of Growth Care,

388
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 12: work for Ron Sherah, do Minnesota Bound. They let me

389
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 12: go to the Olympics in Salt Lake City for a

390
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 12: month with a crew of seven. All of the opportunities

391
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 12: that Ker let me do in those thirty three years

392
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 12: were phenomenal. And then I became the chief and I've

393
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 12: been the chief for eighteen years and I've got this

394
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 12: team a meteorologist under me that I'm really proud of.

395
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 12: They're all my former interns, which is really cool since

396
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 12: I interned there too, And it is a great place

397
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 12: to work.

398
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 9: Golden Valley is home to me.

399
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 12: I've been there for so long and it's just time

400
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 12: for me to move on to another chapter.

401
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 9: And I.

402
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 12: Just need to do something other than the five six

403
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 12: and ten five six and ten. So I'm looking forward

404
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 12: to a lot of fun things moving forward.

405
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 3: And you're not related to Bobby right, Well.

406
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 12: We argue like we're married, but we are not married

407
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 12: his true wife, God bless her.

408
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 9: Yes.

409
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 12: But you know one thing that was a wonderful relationship

410
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 12: that we've had for now thirty years, learning everything about

411
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 12: growing things that my thumb became a lot less brown

412
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 12: and a lot more green over the years. That was

413
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 12: a wonderful thing I had a chance to do, and

414
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 12: so I love him. You know, I have great people

415
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 12: I work with. I mean, you know all the people

416
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 12: in the past, you know, Randy and Eric and Dave Schwort,

417
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 12: and then of course now Julie and the whole team

418
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 12: at care Chris Arrabski and Reena and Lauren, and I

419
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 12: mean it's a family over there. So it was a

420
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 12: difficult decision, but I'd been thinking about it for a

421
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 12: long time.

422
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 4: So you know it's uts too, and tell me if

423
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 4: you agree or disagree. But I'm I'm a pessimist when

424
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 4: it comes to the well almost everything, but the evolving

425
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 4: state of media with radio and TV, Like, I don't

426
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 4: I think thirty year careers in TV is going to

427
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 4: be beyond the exception moving forward, right Like our generation

428
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 4: is probably the last one to have what you just did.

429
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 4: So it's pretty cool that thirty three years is a

430
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 4: thing that was even possible.

431
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 12: It was very, very different, and really I started thirty

432
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 12: six years ago in nineteen ninety, so you're right, the

433
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 12: whole the entire business, the entire structure of the business

434
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 12: has completely changed. And now you know, of course, you know,

435
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 12: back in the day, you would prepare that seven day

436
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 12: forecast and you would hold it and you would spend

437
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:00,479
Speaker 12: lots of time I'm on it.

438
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 9: You maybe wrote a column for.

439
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 12: A paper, and then the first time people would see

440
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,959
Speaker 12: it would be on five or six or ten and

441
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 12: it was musty TV. What's the weather going to be like?

442
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 12: Or what's the head? You know, the lead story. And now,

443
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 12: of course, the second you get that forecast done, you

444
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 12: better you'd better believe it because you're going to throw

445
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 12: it out on every single platform, every single minute, every

446
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 12: single day, because the way the world works now is

447
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 12: everyone wants instant gratification.

448
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 9: They want their information, they want it now.

449
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 12: So it's it's such a different formula, I should say,

450
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 12: And yeah, it is. I think you're right about that.

451
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 12: I think people will evolve and do different things. I

452
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 12: don't think local media is going to go anywhere. There's

453
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 12: always going to be local Weather's always going to be

454
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 12: local sports. There's obviously so much local news going on

455
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 12: that's so important that people need to be aware of.

456
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 12: So it's just changing where do you find it, what

457
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 12: platform do you find it in And the cool thing

458
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 12: is you can now find it on demand obviously on

459
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 12: all these streaming platforms. Carolevin plus, you have KFN plus everything, right, we.

460
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: Have all kinds of things. Won't even know we have names,

461
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: I'm sure.

462
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, Melinda, is there a weather event that stands out

463
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 7: for you that you had to cover or were.

464
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 4: And if you awesome enough to us and you can't

465
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 4: say the Halloween blizzard?

466
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 12: I wasn't here then. I was in Salt Lake City

467
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 12: when that happened in ninety one. No, you know what,

468
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 12: I have a few. One that probably will stick in

469
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 12: my mind forever is I worked weekends for the first

470
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 12: thirteen years that I was there. So it was a Friday,

471
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 12: and we would send Ken Barlow, who was the chief

472
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 12: at the time, to go do these fun fridays and

473
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 12: they would send him this is how old this was.

474
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 12: They would send him in the helicopter to a festival.

475
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 12: And this festival this happened to be in Brown County, which,

476
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 12: by the way, folks, is a long ways from here.

477
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 12: It's in southwestern Minnesota. So they sent Ken Barlow to

478
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 12: Brown County because the weather was good, there was going

479
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 12: to be a few storms, but it wasn't going to

480
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 12: be severe, at least that's what we thought. So I'm

481
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 12: backing him up. He's live, I'm backing him up. I've

482
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 12: been there for two years. It's July. I think it

483
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 12: was July twenty third. It was a Friday, and the

484
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 12: six o'clock news was wrapping up, and all of a sudden,

485
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 12: this line of storms got very angry, very quickly in

486
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 12: western Hennepin County, like in the city, just knocking on

487
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 12: the door, west side of Lake Mannetonka, and tornadoes just

488
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 12: started coming down, coming down, and they couldn't get ken back.

489
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 12: So I went live to talk about tornadoes that weren't

490
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 12: supposed to happen, brand new here, and in the next

491
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 12: four hours, I was live for all four hours doing

492
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 12: the weather as tornadoes were ripping through the city. One

493
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:54,360
Speaker 12: of them, in fact, developed on our skycam on our building.

494
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 9: It there was a funnel cloud coming down on one.

495
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 12: Sixty nine, and all of a sudden, I go, oh,

496
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 12: and then now it's a tornado, folks, there's a tornado

497
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 12: on one sixty nine.

498
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 9: And I was really new, really green, really.

499
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 12: Nervous, didn't have an option, had to roll four and

500
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 12: a half hours thirteen tornadoes.

501
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: Wow, Wow, that was amazing and you pulled it off.

502
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 5: You did it.

503
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 12: I'm not sure I did, but I was on TV

504
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,479
Speaker 12: the entire time, and then I had to like go

505
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 12: take a shower.

506
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 9: I mean it.

507
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 5: Was and a cocktail, and.

508
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 12: A very big cocktail, right yeah, And I was like,

509
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 12: get back here in that damn helicoptail.

510
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 9: I mean, come on, you know.

511
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 8: I think after all of this in the three decades

512
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 8: plus that said that you were on TV and you

513
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 8: had this job, I think it's appropriate for mus to

514
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 8: ask the question that he asked Anthony Harris, because it's

515
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 8: a really hard hitting question the two I think people

516
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 8: really want to know.

517
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 5: Yes, must go ahead ask Belinda your question.

518
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 7: Now, you got to understand, Belinda, I know you love

519
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,479
Speaker 7: the Olympics, and especially with your skiing background and your

520
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 7: kids and everything else, so you must absolutely.

521
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 5: Love that I did.

522
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 12: I did watch every minute. Of course, it is a

523
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 12: care living thing, but I watched every minute. Mikayla Schiffrin.

524
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 12: Of course, yesterday morning I was crying. It was amazing.

525
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, you'll have this answer right off the top.

526
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 10: Yeah.

527
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, So if you were going to be a part

528
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 7: of the two man louge. Who of any of your

529
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 7: co workers would you want to do the two man

00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 7: luge with?

531
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 5: And who would be on top?

532
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 9: Well, does it have to be a girl?

533
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 4: No?

534
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 9: No, okay, strategy you're trying to win the one thing as.

535
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 12: Julie is my best friend there but I just and

536
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 12: she's a strong girl, but I would need someone little bit.

537
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 9: She's kind of dainty. She's dainty. You know, I'm not dainty.

538
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 9: Let's see. I well, I mean, can it be former?

539
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 5: Sure?

540
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 9: I like this, I like this.

541
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 12: Well, the guy you know, with probably the longest legs

542
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 12: that could do it, that would be into it would

543
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 12: be of course Eric Perkins, Yeah.

544
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 9: I mean, you know, he could do it, you know.

545
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 12: Or Dave Schwartz. He he's got you know, he's a

546
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 12: hockey guy. He's got those, he's strong, he.

547
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 3: Knows the blades, he knows the blades.

548
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 9: Maybe maybe he would.

549
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 12: So one of those two men, probably not Shaver because

550
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 12: Shaver would just wimp out.

551
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: That's Jensen.

552
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 2: And again she has announced this morning, after thirty three years,

553
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 2: she'll be leaving Caro Lovin and retiring from the television.

554
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 2: Speaking of the television, and he mentioned the tiki parties.

555
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,479
Speaker 2: I have this blazing memory in my mind of our

556
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 2: very good friend Frankie V Goodness, when the anchorman by

557
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 2: Ron with Ron Burgundy was a big deal. If you

558
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 2: guys remember that party, and you know what I'm talking about.

559
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 2: But I want to go away from that. I want

560
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 2: to ask you he never got out of character.

561
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 9: Ever got out of character, ever had a Burgundy suit.

562
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Amelia, who killed? I thought it was

563
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 1: over that night.

564
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,479
Speaker 2: But that said, when you when you first got there,

565
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 2: you talked about that team, Paul and Pat.

566
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: You guys were rock stars. Talk about how things have changed.

567
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 2: I understand you guys are still big rock stars, but

568
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 2: there was nobody bigger than the local news team, especially

569
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 2: the number one news team.

570
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: What was it like to be a part of that

571
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: team when.

572
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 9: I got there?

573
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 12: Well, I interned there, like I said, in eighty eight

574
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 12: when it was amazing, And I got back there in

575
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 12: ninety three, and so Paul was still the main anchor,

576
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 12: of course, and Pat and Die and then of course

577
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 12: Julie came along. But the amount of reporters we had,

578
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 12: the room that we had of unbelievably talented reporters. I

579
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 12: remember distinctly when I got there. We had a reporter

580
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 12: in every continent. We had a reporter in every continent

581
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 12: doing different things. We had Bernie Grace at the Berlin Wall.

582
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 12: We had Diana Pearce in Kenya because of hunger strike

583
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:47,239
Speaker 12: and a story there. Eric Olsen went to Antarctica to

584
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 12: talk about something was Minnesota related. I mean it was

585
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 12: a time when, of course, there was a lot of

586
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 12: money and news and everyone was watching. There weren't any

587
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 12: other places to watch the news. There weren't you know,

588
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 12: Netflix wasn't around. There weren't places to actually take your

589
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 12: eye off here and there. So everyone watched. And I

590
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 12: remember very well that when we had ER on a

591
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 12: Thursday night, we'd have friends in Er on a Thursday night,

592
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 12: we would get a fifty four share and it was

593
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 12: printed back then they'd slap it on a wall and

594
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 12: then so ratings would come up, you know, let's say February, May, November,

595
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 12: the big months, And once we got the first Thursday

596
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 12: and we got the fifty four share, we're like, okay,

597
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 12: we just want it wouldn't matter because of Musty TV, because.

598
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 9: Everyone was watching back then.

599
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 12: I know it sounds crazy, but everyone was watching and

600
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 12: it was they couldn't watch it on it there were

601
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 12: no DVRs. I mean, they had to watch it live,

602
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 12: so they would watch it and then they would watch us.

603
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 9: So there was big nights.

604
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 12: In fact, one time ER was so big and they

605
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 12: couldn't send a news person, so they sent the weather girl.

606
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 12: So I flew to Chicago, and they sent the four

607
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 12: top NBC affiliates down to Chicago to interview the crew.

608
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 9: The the stars, the actors.

609
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 12: So I had a chance to interview after they were

610
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 12: shooting a baseball scene between the er and the football

611
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 12: or and the fire station, and they were shooting it

612
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 12: in the middle of Chicago on a baseball field, so

613
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 12: they only could do that once in a while. Otherwise

614
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 12: the studios were in La So we were on this field.

615
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 12: It's three in the morning. The shoot wraps up, and

616
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 12: then they gave me a chance to talk to Anthony

617
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 12: Edwards for a minute. He walked away, and then George

618
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 12: Clooney grabbed two folding chairs and we went out into

619
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 12: the middle of the outfield and I sat and talked

620
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 12: to George Clooney like what is happening, as one does.

621
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 4: But I mean this was.

622
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 9: When he was on Er.

623
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 12: He wasn't obviously as huge as he is now. But

624
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 12: now I think back to that and I'm like cracking up.

625
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 12: But it's three in the morning and I'm in the

626
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 12: outfield and I think I'm still just the weather person

627
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 12: and here I am talking to George Clooney.

628
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 9: But that's how big er was.

629
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 4: And for our younger listeners, not the Anthony Edwards for

630
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 4: the Timberwolves one from Revenge of the Nerds and er

631
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 4: and Top Gun, yeah right, which is also an awesome

632
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 4: Anthony Edwards, just not this Anthe Edwards.

633
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 9: That's exactly right.

634
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 4: So did you ever this is I don't want to

635
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 4: put you in a bad spot either, but you know

636
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 4: people always joke about when whether people get stuff wrong

637
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 4: it ruins their day or their plans or whatever. Did

638
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 4: you ever ever have somebody like extremely pissed or threatening

639
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,479
Speaker 4: because you said something that wasn't the case and then

640
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 4: it's like, I planned this because you told me it

641
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 4: was going to be nice, and now they're you know,

642
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 4: threatening to you know, burn down your house or something.

643
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 4: They ever get ever get dark or dangerous this week

644
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 4: or last time? A constant problem or not really well?

645
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 12: I mean, I think Minnesota folks are pretty savvy about

646
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 12: the weather. They realized it's the chaos theory and we're

647
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 12: just trying to figure it out. They realize that if

648
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 12: it was perfect, they wouldn't even need a person to

649
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 12: do it, they would just get it off an AI

650
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 12: model or something like that. So but yes, absolutely that happens.

651
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 12: I think the worst the time that happened the worst

652
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 12: to me that I remember very distinctly was it was

653
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 12: Father's Day and it was supposed to be night was June,

654
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 12: of course, Father's Day weekend. It was supposed to be

655
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 12: nice and there was a slight chance of rain, but

656
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 12: it was looked like I was going to miss the city.

657
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 12: And I was on Saturday morning talking about it. And

658
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 12: then that after the next day Father's Day, there was

659
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 12: a doubleheader Twins game and everyone went and it was

660
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 12: this huge thing. I was there and it was absolutely pouring.

661
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 12: Everyone was soaked. But and I'm just like, I'm going

662
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 12: to oh, it was.

663
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 9: Just I felt so.

664
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 12: I mean, of course I I don't bring it, but

665
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 12: I do deliver it. It is my message, so you

666
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 12: have to live it and you have to believe it

667
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 12: because you're the one saying it.

668
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 9: So I did.

669
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,719
Speaker 12: I ruined so now every time Father's Day comes up,

670
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 12: well guess what I'm leaving before Father's say, I'm out,

671
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 12: I can't do it.

672
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 7: You once told me about how people would come up

673
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 7: to you with all the coats that you have. You

674
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 7: have so many coats, but how people would more than

675
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 7: the weather being an issue. I think you wore that

676
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 7: quote last Wednesday.

677
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, they logged them. Well, you know, so I

678
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 9: do the weather.

679
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 12: I do the weather outside, of course, in the caraleve

680
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 12: In backyard, which has been there. It's my it's my office.

681
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 12: It's the best weather office in the world because you

682
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 12: better have it right, because there's full transparency. I mean,

683
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 12: you walk out, you didn't forecast rain and it's pouring

684
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,239
Speaker 12: on your head. You better explain yourself. And that's what

685
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 12: I love about the caralev In backyard for so many reasons.

686
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 12: Plus it's beautiful back there. There's a lot of varmints though,

687
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 12: I mean a lot. I'm just really happy that I'm

688
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 12: top of the food chain because there's tons of arments

689
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 12: right there.

690
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 9: Oh so in my.

691
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 12: Years there, okay, so well, I wish, but it is

692
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 12: Golden Valley and we have a couple of fences. I'm

693
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 12: not sure it's good, but we have there was a

694
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 12: possum the other day, tons of birds. Of course, there

695
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 12: was a lot of raccoons that come in when we

696
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 12: have all the pumpkins, owls, these huge, huge june bugs

697
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 12: that I brought in one time put on Randy's head.

698
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 9: He wasn't very happy about that anyways.

699
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 12: So I do have a bunch of coats because I

700
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 12: work outside, you know, seven months out of the year

701
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 12: it's freezing. So thirty three years of doing that you

702
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 12: kind of gather some coats, and so I do kind

703
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 12: of have a coat collection that I am auctioning off.

704
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 9: And the auction starts on Sunday.

705
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 5: I was going to ask that.

706
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 6: I'm just thinking, you know, the inventory with the coats,

707
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 6: it has to get kind of, you know, excessive, and

708
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 6: so I know some of us may be sentiment from,

709
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 6: you know, some of your first broadcasting moments, but I

710
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 6: was just kind of wondering, what were you going to

711
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 6: do with that afterwards?

712
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 12: Yeah, so I thought I did think with everyone's you know,

713
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 12: liking this one and that one or whatever, I decided

714
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 12: to put put together a coat auction. It's going to

715
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,480

754
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 9: Who is Zach? You know what?

755
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 12: Absolutely he should come over. I mean we're not that

756
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 12: far from here, exactly.

757
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 9: Come on over. You know, five six and ten.

758
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 4: We don't have interns anymore. So if you guys don't

759
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 4: have interns, that would be great.

760
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 9: Don't we don't either. I don't think we get that back.

761
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 9: It's terrible. I agree.

762
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 12: That's how I got here being in us, so I

763
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 12: sure hope we get back that back.

764
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 9: But yeah, he can come on over.

765
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 12: Not on a weather day, though, I mean, there has

766
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,720
Speaker 12: to be like blue Skies because if there's actually weather,

767
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 12: can you handle it?

768
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 4: Well, what if we do the bit just like you

769
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 4: were talking about, You're like in southwest Minnesota, then the

770
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 4: tornadoes hit out of nowhere, throw Zach and then mixing

771
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:54,879
Speaker 4: say figure it, you.

772
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 12: Know what, it would probably go fine. I mean it

773
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 12: would be great or maybe not. I'm not sure, but

774
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 12: we can try it.

775
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 9: We can try it.

776
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 10: We've asked another station and they were like, absolutely not serious.

777
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 12: No way that that's because it was another station. Yeah,

778
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 12: laid Man, I get it.

779
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: I know a former Viking who might be one to

780
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 1: do it as well.

781
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 4: Anthony want to get into weather.

782
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 6: I don't know weather, possibly maybe not too sure about it.

783
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 6: My big thing I was gonna I wanted to go

784
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 6: back to when you said you had the opportunity to

785
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,879
Speaker 6: go live for four hours. Was that kind of your

786
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:37,439
Speaker 6: welcome to the you know, weather broadcasting moment or was

787
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:38,280
Speaker 6: was there another moment?

788
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 9: Well? It was it was.

789
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 12: It was certainly eye opening, that's for sure, because I

790
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 12: had only been there, like I said, just a couple

791
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 12: of years. And then with you know, thirteen tornadoes hitting

792
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 12: the city. Everyone was watching so they were used to watching,

793
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 12: you know, Ken and then I was his backup and.

794
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 9: So I just did it for four hours.

795
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 12: So yeah, they were it was trial by fire big time,

796
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 12: and so it worked out.

797
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 9: It worked out, so but you never know, Yeah, never know.

798
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 8: Obviously with thirteen tornadoes, that decision to break in and

799
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 8: do that programming is easy. But you know, for those

800
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 8: other days where there is severe weather and there is

801
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 8: a big sporting event on or something like that on

802
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 8: NBC for Jeopardy, oh yeah, or Jeopardy, who makes that

803
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 8: that final call of when you guys actually break into

804
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 8: coverage with with weather?

805
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 12: Well that's that's an interesting question that has evolved quite

806
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 12: a bit over the years. But we do the FCC Actually,

807
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 12: you know, we have to break in, but it doesn't

808
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,359
Speaker 12: mean we have to stay on. So now with our

809
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 12: plus platforms, we can just break in momentarily and then

810
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 12: head over to caroleven Plus and if people really want

811
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 12: to they're being affected, then you can go over there.

812
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 9: But it's thankfully our news directors.

813
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 12: And the people that run the newsroom have given that

814
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,839
Speaker 12: authority to us, So we we are the ones who

815
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 12: decide if it's if it's warranted that we're going to

816
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 12: break into programming. But of course if the Olympics are on,

817
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 12: or the Super Bowl is on or you know the

818
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 12: I mean, I know we don't have the Masters, but

819
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 12: let's say the Players Championship or whatever, and you know

820
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 12: care is our NBC is now doing all the sports.

821
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 12: They have baseball on Sundays, they have the NBA again,

822
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 12: So we do have to be cognizant of that for sure.

823
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 12: So we have created ways where we even have like

824
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 12: the crawl. If there's a bunch of scores on the

825
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 12: bottom during an event, instead of having the crawl just

826
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 12: cover that up all the whole time, we actually push

827
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,359
Speaker 12: that back or we put the crawl on the top

828
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 12: of the screen because the crawl, we have to do that.

829
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 12: So I mean, but yes, we've had long discussions about

830
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 12: when you break in, when you don't break in. Do

831
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,280
Speaker 12: you break in for you know, a hailstorm or some wind,

832
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 12: or do you just wait until there's a tornado?

833
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 9: It depends. Every single storm is different.

834
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,479
Speaker 12: But you don't want to break in for too long

835
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 12: if there's a major thing going on, it will not

836
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 12: go over very well.

837
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,280
Speaker 4: My jeopardy, are you always on call?

838
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 10: Like is it always an opportunity where you have to

839
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 10: go in like if you're out of town. No, but

840
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 10: like there was a time this summer where all those

841
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 10: big storms came and like Ian Leonard's on at like

842
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 10: two am. Is that where like you just are like

843
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 10: I got to go up and go to work because

844
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 10: this is important.

845
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 12: Well, Ian doesn't sleep, He has a cot in the

846
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,879
Speaker 12: back there at and Ian's great.

847
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 9: I love Ian.

848
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 12: We're good friends. We have five meteorologists and we are

849
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 12: all in a tag team call situation during those severe seasons. Yea,

850
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 12: and so absolutely so. Once once the watch is posted,

851
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 12: at least two meteorologists are there. And then once the

852
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 12: warnings start popping up, we tend on big days. We

853
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 12: have three meteorologists there, so you work on your days off.

854
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 12: But then you you know, I make sure everyone gets

855
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 12: time off.

856
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 2: A couple of moments left here for Belenda Jensen, who's

857
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 2: calling of course after thirty three years here and what

858
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:48,359

Speaker 2: you're you're I mean, you've you've been a part of

866
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 2: people's lives for thirty three years.

867
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 1: You're a part of our family.

00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 5: Well done, thank you.

869
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 9: That's so nice.

870
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 7: Now you guys are empty nesters, you and they are.

871
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,960

872
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 4: You're gonna be here the old time Aluasca gambling.

873
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 12: It could be exciting, you know, we actually could, because

874
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 12: why not. We're doing everything in the same month. We're

875
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 12: actually moving at the end of the week. We're moving

876
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 12: just a little further west. I don't have to live with.

877
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 1: California, Yeah, California.

878
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 12: I don't have to live within four miles of the station,

879
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 12: which kind of was the way it was with getting there.

880
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 9: All the time. We're moving. We love surfing.

881
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 12: We go wake surfing all the time, so we'll probably

882
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 12: do a lot more surfing. Surfing makes you feel young,

883
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 12: and we're not young anymore, so we're doing that.

884
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 9: And I, I mean some travel.

885
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:54,759

888
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 12: do that kind of thing. I haven't traveled a lot

889
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 12: in that way, so we're going to do those things.
