It was 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:52.720 about as thick as Derrick Henry's styles. Wow, very very thick. 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:54.920 It's almost like you had that comparison prepared. 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:58.200 I didn't.

Please people enjoy a good. 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.920 Travel story or a good travel horror story. Uh huh, 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:12.960 can you just give me a good forty five seconds? 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.480 And what went on next to you on the plane? Oh? 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:19.240 Yeah, the the DMZ was approached. There's a there's an 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:22.520 unspoken agreement that the arm rests is a is a 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:26.560 nice border setting. And the woman next to me, the 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:29.240 arm rest went up to like a forty five degree angle, 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:33.800 and there was there was some beyond b action there tie. Yeah, 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.160 there was some beyond the action that was not my favorite. 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.760 You're very uncomfortable with that, Yeah, it was. It was 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:42.960 just unexpected. Yeah, I like my space. About a three 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:47.320 hour flight. We are here, as time mentioned because what 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:53.040 started as a being amused by Patriot League football and 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:58.000 appreciating it in our own way turned into oh no, Colgiate's. 0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:00.040 Actually really good, really really. 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:05.120 Good, and then they upset James Madison. You jokingly start 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:08.880 tweeting live show from Fargo in all caps, and then 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:12.360 or maybe you texted me that. We alluded to it 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:17.080 on the show. More Twitter weirdness ensued, with the ESPN 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:20.800 wanting us to come and telling us we should be 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:24.840 on the sidelines, which is not happening. But we talked 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.760 and we said, you know what, screwt, Let's go to Fargo. 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:29.959 I've never been a Fargo. You've never been a Fargo. 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:33.239 They have a dome, they do. It's not the KIDVI Dome, 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:38.760 but it's a dome and we should be there in 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:43.520 a couple of hours. The plan tonight is to meet 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:46.560 up with the the pals we have at ESPN covering 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.560 the game, and we're gonna go curling. Curling allegedly, we'll 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.600 see if it actually happens. I've never been currying. We 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:54.800 have the apparel to go curling, absolutely, we don't. Have 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:56.960 you been curling? Have you been a curling rink. 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.920 I've played shuffle board and I've been to an ice rink, right, 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:02.119 never doing both at the same time. 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:08.880 Okay, I am definitely not somebody with curling experience, and 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.040 we're just gonna see how we do. My guess is 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:16.560 poorly but in an entertaining way, also potentially tearing our groins. Yeah, well, 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.599 I mean that's always on the table, right, And then 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:21.960 we're gonna wake up early tomorrow morning. We're gonna go 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:25.400 tailgate in eleven degree weather. We're gonna take an uncomfortable 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:28.200 picture with short sleeves and nothing else on in a 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:32.120 porky picket, right, and then we're gonna go in for 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:35.600 some good old fashioned college football and watch. 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.760 The Raiders and the Bison play. Can I just interject 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:39.919 for one moment, I'm ready. 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:42.960 We were just passed by a gentleman with a North 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:46.719 Dakota license plate driving what appears to be a Super 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.279 U outback wearing a cowboy hat. 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.320 That's wearing a cowboy hat. Feels Jerry Minnesota. 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:55.200 We're not in North Dakota yet, but he is headed 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.560 where we're headed yep, and it feels very on brand. 0:04:57.920 --> 0:04:58.960 Super Us are. 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:02.560 Bigger, and I would have figured in terms of popularity. 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:04.400 But I think it's the all wheel driver, the four 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:09.520 wheel drive. It's a versatile smart vehicle. Dan the Korean Australian. 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:14.160 I know they have an outback model. I'm not gonna 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:14.520 look it up. 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.560 I'm just going to assume Australia because of the outbout. Yeah. 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:21.760 So it's pretty flat, it's pretty gray, pretty brown, some 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:26.240 smell on the ground. Yeah, but I'm pumped from some 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:28.320 Upper Midwest Upper Planes football. 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:29.520 So what is the plan here. 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:33.560 We're gonna file a couple of these audio logs that 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:36.960 we're gonna eventually stitch together. Yeah, so that people listening 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:40.480 at home and people who don't live in the Minneapolis 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.560 or Fargo area can kind of ride along with us 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:47.000 and experience this as we do. Because Dan said we 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:49.960 don't really have any familiarity with the upper planes, I 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.800 think that's right, and so we're gonna try and do 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:56.120 this chronologically and give people the full experience, even if 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:57.320 you're unable to be here with. 0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:57.880 Us in person. 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:00.880 Yeah, people were very high happy that we were actually 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:04.120 making the trek to Fargo, So why not virtually take 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:04.800 them with us? 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:05.960 That's my thinking. 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:10.840 If I haven't already mentioned, it is extremely flat at 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:11.599 the current moment. 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:16.680 You can see for what appears to be just limitless miles. Here, 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:21.240 I see Brian Harson looking west. I see, I see Brian. 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.680 He's just chilling, just getting ready for the What are 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:25.520 they in the Vegas Bowl? 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:25.680 Now? 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:27.920 They're in some other Bowl games? Sure, I think it's 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:32.480 Fresno State and Arizona State. So yeah, so far, I 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:38.320 enthusiastic comes up to Minneapolis, excited to get out with Yeah, 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:41.600 excited to get back tomorrow.

That's all. I got the end. 0:06:57.800 --> 0:06:58.760 Until next time. 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:04.920 Friday, ten o five pm and. 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:09.039 We're back Dan from curling curling. 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:11.840 Yeah, so it's as you now know, it's ten oh 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:13.840 five pm right on. 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.720 I have lost track of the day.

Good job by you. 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:33.160 We arrived at five. We listen. 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:34.520 I'm gonna be real listen. 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:40.600 Oh god, Oh it amuses me, it does. I took 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:43.360 like a twenty five minute nap. You got to see me. 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:45.840 Tell Siri to wake me up in twenty five minutes? 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:47.880 Yeah, And you have the is it the Australian or 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:48.880 the British British? 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:50.720 I have a British Seriy. He's great. 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:53.880 And we got a burger at a place. 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:58.760 Called Pounds Pounds Pretty good, not bad. I liked your description. 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:03.000 Dan's description of the place was the burger tastes like 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.000 the burgers you get at a friend's house, which just 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:10.239 happens to be very skilled at grilling really good burger friend. 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:10.680 Yeah. 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:14.240 So it wasn't like a gourmet anything. It was just 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:17.200 like it was a good burger, a good picnic burger. 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:18.559 Yeah. 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:21.280 And then we met up with the ESPN crew that 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:26.000 is calling the game tomorrow happening in thirteen hours, which 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:28.640 was Kevin Brown who started this whole, not the Dodger 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:31.480 pitcher right, No, you know what, maybe he has the 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:36.840 build he does. Kevin Brown, DJ Shockley Georgia Great Georgia, 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:43.079 al Teimer and Cole Kublick Auburn participant now Auburn Alzheimer 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:43.440 as well. 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:44.080 We love call. 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:48.640 We went curling at a local club about fifteen minutes away, 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.000 a curling club, because that's the kind of thing. 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:54.280 That exists in Fargo, North Fargo, North Dakota, as it should. 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:57.080 And I had a blast. 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:57.880 I was not very good. 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.439 If you go on the solibrable Instagram, I mean, I 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:01.840 don't know when you're listening to this, but at some 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:03.360 point I've got it archived. 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:06.240 You have an archived that you are preserved good. 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:06.839 I'm glad. 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:11.720 Cryogenically we split into teams and we will. We learned 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:15.000 to curl, which is very difficult. There's a stone with 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.920 a handle, right, and you're supposed to one one of 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:21.480 your shoes has like a slick bottom, the other one 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:24.360 is gripped bottom, and you sort of slide and release 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:29.280 and two other people. I just burped up some almonds. 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:33.480 Will will brush, will broom will sweep for you. It's 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:36.000 very people know curling I don't know. 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:38.840 I think I think our audience is familiar. Yeah, so 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.240 my position are they position? 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:41.880 My role? 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.320 My job, I was the SKIP and I put that 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:48.920 on the Instagram feed as well. That job, as I 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:51.360 understand it is to just yell at the top of 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:55.160 your lungs. And I was talking with DJ because he 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:58.160 was he was that's right, he was a rival SKIP. 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:01.440 So it was a bit contentious, but it neither one 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.880 of us really knew what to yell, so we were 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:06.720 just yelling as loudly as we could. And that's part 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:08.079 of the reason why I now have to drink this 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:09.560 tea before I go to bed so that I can 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:11.280 talk tomorrow when we actually meet the people. 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:14.440 I don't think you're a natural Skip. I did not 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:16.640 hear you as I was sweeping. I thought you were like. 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:22.280 Well, okay, in fairness, the instructor. 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:22.960 He was yelling over you. 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:24.000 That was the test. 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:26.840 Well, it was a test, yeah, but I failed to 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.720 test the initial test. Now the next the next few times, 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:31.920 then I tried to be a little bit more assertive. 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:33.600 You were better, but I didn't. Again, I didn't know 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:34.520 what I was yelling. 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.600 You lost the locker room early, you really did, and 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:39.200 that's okay, because I thought you were more of a 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:43.920 natural deliverer. If the person who glides the stone, If. 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.960 If I would have had maybe five more runs at 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:50.120 delivering the stone, I think I could have been at 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:54.679 least I'm trying to think of what caliber. 0:10:56.640 --> 0:11:00.760 And you'd be underwhelming. I'd be the least underwhelming. Give 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.160 me your impressions of Fargo. So we haven't been to 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:06.640 the NDSU campus. We have not seen the Fargo Dome. 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:09.960 We're going bright and early to tailgate and friend, it 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.679 is going to be it is nine degrees when we 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:13.160 get there. 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:14.120 I did the math. 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:15.840 I hadn't realized like, oh, yeah, we've got a twelve 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:20.000 eastern kickoff, that's eleven am. Yeah, so we're going to 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:22.320 show up a couple hours early and get some some 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:26.880 tailgating wandering in. It'll be single ish digits, which will 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:32.000 be a new tailgating. Yeah, experience in and tailgating impressions 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.920 of Fargo thus far. So we're staying in downtown Fargo. 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:35.280 Yeah. 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:37.400 On the on the ride home and we've driven around 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:39.040 a little we've driven around a little bit. On the 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:42.920 ride home, we probably went a good five minutes without 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:44.719 seeing any other cars. In the road and that was 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.080 at nine to thirty. Yeah, So I don't know if 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:50.559 it's the cold keeping people indoors or if it's just Fargo, 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:53.400 but in any case, it's a bit of a ghost 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.960 town here at the moment, despite the fact that I 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:58.679 think we've got the biggest game of the college football 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:00.400 season in this town. 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:01.520 It was a season. 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:02.679 Yeah, it's true cold, you know. 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:06.839 In about thirteen hours. As you said, Yeah, you know, 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:08.800 I don't know if everyone is just talking in early 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:12.360 to be prepared mentally. But so that's impression number one. 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:14.440 Which i'd see as a positive. I love it. That's 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:16.199 fine old. 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:19.240 Heads at this point. Yeah. Yeah. Impression two is that 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:21.480 it's very cold, but I think we've already covered that point. 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:23.040 Fine, that's to be expected. 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:28.040 Impression three, it's very quaint. Yeah, it's extremely quaint, and. 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:30.360 It just sort of seems like a small college towns. 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:33.319 It's a very small town. Yeah, but it's it's fine. 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:36.840 It is not uh, you know, there are no apparently 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:37.920 the wood Chipper. 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:41.560 Is around, like the Fargo or visitor center. 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:41.800 Yeah. 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:45.560 Yeah, it's not like Bleak and you know, Almond is here. 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:50.360 It's just not very crowded and you know, very very quaint. 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.720 It's a small college town, which just seems like I've 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:54.880 been too many and it seems like another one of them. 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:58.400 And something I did notice when we were driving around, 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:05.480 there has to be a business that installs lights atop 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:12.600 other businesses, because every along the freeway there were probably 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:15.800 seven or eight places that looked like strip clubs, right, 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:17.800 but it was just a mattress store, it was just 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.800 a pet hospital, but they had the lighting of strip clubs. 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:25.080 And it's disorienting, but also shout out to whoever performed 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:27.520 and pulled off that sales job. There's a contractor here 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:31.040 making bank it's and they're not like holiday lights. They're 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:35.280 not Christmas lights, not whatever. They are permanent fixtures. And 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:37.839 it's very confusing, like all of a sudden, I think 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:41.679 I'm in Tampa or something, the Tampa of the upper Plains. 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:43.280 And where the buildings are. 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:45.720 Positioned to yes, right next to the freeway. 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:48.240 It's like you could go either way on whether or 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:51.319 not it's you know, an eatery or a different kind 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:51.960 of establishment. 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:54.920 So those are our early impressions of Fargo. 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:55.640 It is. 0:13:57.200 --> 0:14:00.000 Total like I'm looking forward to and this is nothing. 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.000 No slight on First of all, I'm looking forward to 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:03.760 the game like crazy. Oh yeah, I haven't been to 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:06.040 a college football game since Oregon Ohio State the National 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:09.640 Championship game has been about twenty fifteen, the very very 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:12.520 beginning of twenty fifteen, like early January twenty fifteen. I 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:14.720 don't know if we're almost going on four years now. Well, 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:16.880 because of the show. It's hard because of the show. 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:18.920 It's hard to go to game, yes, because of work, Yeah, 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:22.000 all sorts of things. Yeah, I mean actual game. It's 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:23.200 probably been longer for me. 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:26.160 You him in Deepenn State or Notre Dame or any 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.360 of that. No, it's been a long time. 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:30.840 I'm excited that it's a game at the Fargo Dome, 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:33.720 which you didn't even realize that, y, you had a dome. 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:38.200 Full disclosure. Yeah, that's okay, full disclosure. When you said 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:42.200 on the show about the Fargo Dome. Yeah, I just 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:44.840 assumed it was like that Patriot League. 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:46.520 Gagah, the Tokyo Dome. 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:50.360 We were talking about, you know, Lehigh playing Georgetown in 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:52.720 the Tokyo don Stadium as Keeka. 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:56.920 What's what's the one in London is the O two Arena. 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:58.400 Right, So I just assumed this was another one of 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:02.640 your guests. But thank Kevin Brown, not the Dodger pitcher, 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:06.480 but the announcer. He said the Fargo Dome as well, 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:09.360 And so I wasn't sure if this was just like 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:13.400 a widespread joke that I hadn't colorble. No, it wasn't 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:15.840 until this week that I googled it right and I 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:18.680 sent to you on the Super Secret g Chat that 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:22.480 in fact, oh damn, they do have a dome. That's cool, 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:23.360 that's very cool. 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:25.520 Yeah, see, it's what about twenty thousand? 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:29.680 I think I think stadium our concert capacity, excuse me, 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:31.840 is twenty four thousand I saw, but it looks like 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:34.880 the football team gets about eighteen pten. 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:38.440 There's a good crowd for an FCS. It's a huge crowd. 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:43.080 We were hearing tonight during curling that people will come 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:47.720 up to the head coach, Chris Cleman of NDSU football 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:51.080 and like the supermar currently as we speak today on 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:53.400 Friday night, the current one he's rumored to be in 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:56.400 the mix for the Kansas State head coaching job, that 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:58.720 people will come up to him like good luck. This 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:01.040 season we're saving up for tick. It's for Frisco, so 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:04.720 we probably won't see you in person. Until then, it's. 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:06.560 Assuming a lot. Frisco, by the way, is where they 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:08.280 play the champions, the National Championship. 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:09.560 Yeah, every year in Texas. 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:12.040 So no pressure, Bison. 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:15.720 Look past the Raiders at your own risk, is all 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:16.200 I'm saying. 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:18.880 This is a second straight week now where an opposing 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:22.360 head coach is rumored on them two a new job. 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:26.560 So it is, we've been up for a long time. 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:29.600 We've been up so what it's ten to fifteen. We've 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:32.360 been up since about what three fifteen our body time 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:36.000 Central time. I need to import some footage.

We are on 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:07.480 the road again. 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:11.680 We are and we are no longer virgins to the 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:16.800 North Dakota State football first person viewing experience at the 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:17.480 Fargo Dome. 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:19.440 I was really hoping you went in that direction when 0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:23.240 you said we are no longer virgins. This is this 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:26.000 is my headline, and I tweeted this out almost verbatim. 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:30.040 We went to the Fargo Dome and it ruled so so, 0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:34.119 so hard. And it's not just because it was a 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:37.639 crazy atmosphere and a really good team. It was unlike 0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:42.080 anything I've seen. I heard the ventilation in there because 0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:46.400 the crowd was so quiet during the Bisons offensive possessions, 0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:48.280 which is what really good fans should do. 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:51.720 But it was it was a different place. That was 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:52.679
