We decided we 40 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 3: enjoyed going to Lake Minnetonka so much, and I went online. 41 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 3: I was like, what's the biggest lake in Minnesota? I 42 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 3: want to go to the biggest. I don't want to 43 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 3: go to the second, or the third or the fourth biggest. 44 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 3: I want to go to the biggest, Go bigger, go home. 45 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 3: So I did a quick Google search, just Google in 46 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 3: my case bing because I like to get the points. 47 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 3: So I get those Amazon gift cards.

It happens to be in Minnesota. And so 51 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 3: this is a real Laker trip, Not the La Lakers, 52 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 3: the real Lakers, the Minnesota Lakers. So I got up 53 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 3: Danny at the crack of. 54 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: Dawn with my wife. 55 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 3: We got up at six am on Sunday, six am 56 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 3: on Sunday to make the trip all the way up 57 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 3: the state of Minnesota to the North Country to the 58 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 3: north star of destination, Duluth. And that is the home 59 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 3: of one of the ports of Lake Superior. Oh yeah, 60 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 3: so another one of the great Lakes. Now I've been to. 61 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 3: Now that I've been to Lake Superior, I've been to 62 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 3: Lake Michigan many times, Lake Erie. 63 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: How many? 64 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 3: How many of the What are the other great I'm 65 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 3: trying to think I've been to the other I think 66 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 3: I know I've been to Lake Erie, have been to 67 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 3: Lake Michigan, I've been to Lake Superior. I'm trying to 68 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 3: think if I've been to any of the other great Lakes. 69 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 3: I think those are the only three I've been to. 70 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 3: I think there's there's a couple other ones right. 71 00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: That I forget. 72 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 4: There's Ontario and Heron. 73 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I've not been to those. Where is Lake Huron? 74 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: Is that Michigan that's it? 75 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to say that's Michigan. 76 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, Lake Ontario I've not been to. 77 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 3: So anyway, I was very cool to be at Lake Superior. 78 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 3: It is literally the largest lake in the United States 79 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 3: and the largest freshwater lake in the world. As my 80 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 3: wife and I had the same look on our faces. 81 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 3: We go to the lake, you pull up through, you 82 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 3: come down a hill into the Luth because the city 83 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 3: of Duluth most of it is on the hillside overlooking 84 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 3: Lake Superior. The way they built it, and this you 85 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 3: might as well be at the Pacific or the Atlantic Ocean. 86 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 3: As far as you can see is nothing but water. 87 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 3: But yet this is not an ocean. It's a lake 88 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 3: and it's mind blowing the size. But it's a two 89 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,359 Speaker 3: and a half hour drive. The reason we had to 90 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 3: get up so early is we we had a two 91 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 3: and a half hour drive up to the through the 92 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 3: heart of Minnesota where the there is literally nothing by 93 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 3: the way, Danny, nothing but trees and random empty lakes, 94 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 3: and that's about it. There are there's nothing else in Minnesota. 95 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 3: Almost hard to find a gas station in Minnesota out 96 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 3: on the on the back roads of the state. But 97 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 3: we had a trip to Duluth planned and we were 98 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 3: gonna go on a. 99 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: Boat tour of Lake Superior. So the thing. 100 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 3: Left at nine to thirty. We had to get there 101 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 3: at nine, so we got up at six. We got 102 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 3: on the road at six thirty to drive up there. 103 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 3: And here's a fun fact. You want a fun fact? 104 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 3: You can't handle a fun fact? 105 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: Are you ready? 106 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,679 Speaker 4: Yeah, on the edge of our seats. 107 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 3: I know this is gonna blow your mind. Alf the Alien, 108 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 3: O Pinter and Fergdog are gonna love this one. So 109 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 3: Lake Superior is so large. 110 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 4: How large is it? 111 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 3: It is so large that it could hold the water 112 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 3: from all of the other Great Lakes combined along with 113 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 3: three more lake eries. 114 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: That is how big this thing is. It's crazy. It 115 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: spans from. 116 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 3: Minnesota through Wisconsin, that peninsula Wisconsin, and then also above 117 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 3: it there's Canada. 118 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: So it's ridiculous. 119 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 4: Maybe that's why they named it Superior. 120 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's a size things. It's clearly a 121 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: size thing. I like the extended winner, damn you. 122 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 3: So then the other big surprise was, man, look at 123 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 3: the pollution and Lake Superior. The water is like the 124 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 3: color of shit. What happened? 125 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: Right? Oh man? My wife's like, the water looks disgusting. 126 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: It's like the color of coffee. 127 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 3: And the locals, though, say it is a root beard 128 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 3: delight the water in Lake Superior. 129 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: And I had no idea. I never in there, how 130 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: would I know this? But into Luth, Minnesota, the water 131 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: is brown. Now it's a light brown. It's a root 132 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: beer color on the north shore. And the reason that 133 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: is I looked it up. 134 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 3: I was like, what the hell is going on with this? 135 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 3: I don't understand, Like, this is disgusting. And they claim 136 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 3: that it's from the streams that lead into Lake Superior. 137 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 3: The water it comes from the plants. It's not so 138 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 3: much the iron. And they say it's very common after 139 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 3: they get rain that the lake will go a darker 140 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 3: shade of brown because of the various rivers. 141 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: Oh, okay lead into Lake Superior. 142 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 3: But if you just look at it and you have 143 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 3: no concept of that, it looks like poopy water or 144 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 3: coffee water. And it was interesting, and so I enjoyed 145 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 3: my time into Luth. I did not know what to 146 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 3: We've had callers. We had a guy working at a hotel, 147 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 3: Hotel Ryan from Duluth years ago. It was a big 148 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,239 Speaker 3: star caller on the show. He got married, he had kids, 149 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 3: he stopped stopped calling the show. But it was freaking 150 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 3: freezing here by our California standards, it was. We got 151 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 3: to Duluth and we got ready to go on the boat. 152 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 3: It was fifty one degrees. The wind was howling, and 153 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 3: the estimated wind show factor it was in the low 154 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 3: forties of the high thirties. And we sat on the 155 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 3: very top outside Danny on the boat. We were outside 156 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 3: on the boat and got taken around the harbor there 157 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 3: of Lake Superior. And then when we got done with that, 158 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 3: we tried to warm up a little bit. Went to 159 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,839 Speaker 3: Costco to get gas because we had a long drive back. 160 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 3: So there is a Costco in Duluth. 161 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: We went there. 162 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 3: I was disappointed though, because the price of gas was 163 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 3: pretty much the same as the other stations I think. 164 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: I think Minnesota is one of those. 165 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 3: States they do not allow Costco to lower the price 166 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 3: too much for competitive reasons, which I think is ridiculous. 167 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: But whatever, So we got gas there and then we went. 168 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 3: To this this shopping area. They have this big mall, 169 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 3: of course indoor mall, because you don't want to be 170 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 3: outdoors in Duluth most of the year. 171 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: And we went to this. 172 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 3: Local burger place there's like a brewery burger place, and 173 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 3: had my first ever poutine burger.

Oh, 226 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 5: you have that in common. The difference is mine was 227 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 5: almost on TV. 228 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 4: Oh. 229 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 5: So now I'm trying to get home to watch the game. 230 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 5: I was doing post production for a Covino and Rich 231 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 5: after the show. So I get the podcast stuff up 232 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 5: and I run to the parking garage. I get on 233 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 5: the freeway and of course Sherman Oaks is slammed. Four 234 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 5: h five not moving, one oh one, not moving. It's 235 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 5: traffic hell. So I'm sitting there and I'm like, I'm 236 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 5: listening to the game on the radio. It's fine, but 237 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 5: I you know, I'm like, want to get home, have 238 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 5: some dinner, watch the game the rest of the second 239 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 5: half at home. Daddy finally to Woodland Hills and traffic 240 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 5: clearing up now to where I can at least move 241 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 5: gaslight comes on. If I don't stop and do it now, 242 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 5: there's no way I'm going to do it the next 243 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 5: day in the morning. It just sucks. So I'm like, 244 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,199 Speaker 5: I gotta deal with this right now before I get home. 245 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 5: So I exit Shoot and you might know where that 246 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 5: is in the valley. You know, it's an easy off ramp. 247 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 5: There's a couple of gas stations right as you turn 248 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,839 Speaker 5: off of the off ramp. So I get off, put 249 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 5: gas in, and then I tell it. Instead of going 250 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 5: on the boulevard, I go up onto the surface street. 251 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 5: This frontage road takes you all the way to Valley Circle, 252 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 5: probably behind like five cars waiting to go left back 253 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 5: onto the freeway. The light changes, nobody moves, the light 254 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 5: goes to red. Nobody has moved. What in the world 255 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 5: is going on? And I'm thinking, God, there's got to 256 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 5: be an accident or something up there. So I'm crazy 257 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 5: my head. I'm pushing my head out the window trying 258 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 5: to look far ahead, and I do see some sirens. 259 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 4: It must be a fender bender or something up there. 260 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 4: And they have this freeway on ramp blocks. What do 261 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:13,959 Speaker 4: I do. 262 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 5: I'm listening to John Ireland and I'm like, God, I 263 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:18,839 Speaker 5: got to get home and see the rest of this 264 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 5: on TV. No offense to John Ireland, but as you know, Ben, 265 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 5: listening to a game and watching it just two different animals. 266 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, and John Ireland of course a member of the 267 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio Alumni Association. Yes, he did a show 268 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 3: with Stephen A. Smith of all people. But you'd rather 269 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 3: watch the game. You want to sit down on your sofa. 270 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 5: And yeah, and I know my wife he had dinner 271 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 5: waiting and they're all watching the game, and I'm like, 272 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 5: I want to get home. So now I had an 273 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 5: executive decision to make. There's a double line, you know, 274 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 5: to the left of me, so I'm thinking, should I 275 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 5: take a chance and do an I legal U turn 276 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 5: and go catch the frontage road to go up to 277 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 5: the next freeway on ramp. I'm so happy, Ben that 278 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 5: I took a couple of beats here and this this 279 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 5: just goes to prove think about it before you make 280 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 5: a move. As I finally decided to turn my wheel 281 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 5: left and break the double lines. As I'm starting my 282 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 5: illegal U turn, I stopped just for a moment because 283 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 5: I'm like, this is eerie. 284 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 4: No cars have been coming this direction. 285 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 5: It was almost like they blocked off, you know, both 286 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 5: lanes mine and the oncoming lane. And I was like, man, 287 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 5: is a cop gonna see what I'm doing and then 288 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 5: come after me? 289 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 4: Oh me?

He has to 292 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 5: move his bike to avoid the nose of my car, 293 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 5: which is now starting to stick out into the oncoming traffic. 294 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 5: Coming behind him is a string of CHP officers after another, 295 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 5: after another, after another. 296 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 4: I'm not shitting you. 297 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 5: Fifteen to seventeen cruisers are chasing this guy. 298 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: Wow. 299 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 5: Man, I was in the middle of a Los Angeles 300 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 5: car chase. 301 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 3: That's authentic LA.

We're looking for the bakery, 431 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 3: cruising along and we go up a couple of blocks. 432 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 3: We make one turn and as we're driving off in 433 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 3: the distance, okay, we get the ultimate baker's surprise. On 434 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 3: our way to the bakery, I see in the horizon 435 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 3: these two giant like they're probably seven feet tall, fists 436 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 3: in the sky. 437 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: Right. 438 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 3: They're made out of like a statue, but they're not 439 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 3: a well made statue that's kind of put in the 440 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 3: middle of the street. 441 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 1: There's a traffic. 442 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 4: Circle and look like paper mache. 443 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 1: Yeah kind of. 444 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,959 Speaker 3: It was large, but it was like paper mache. And 445 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 3: there's this roundabout and then behind it is a liquor 446 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 3: store and there's a bunch of signs up about. We 447 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 3: couldn't really make out what the signs were, but we 448 00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:00,040 Speaker 3: knew we were in an interesting part of Minneapolis. And 449 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 3: you want to take a guess. This turned out to 450 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 3: be one of the most notorious intersections in American history 451 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 3: in Minneapolis. 452 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 4: Oh no, I'm not familiar with this. 453 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 3: That intersection is where George Floyd was murdered outside. 454 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 4: Okay, gotcha, gotcha. 455 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:22,959 Speaker 1: Back in twenty twenty. 456 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 4: I always forget that it happened in Minnesota. 457 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: I knew it happened in Minnesota. 458 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,360 Speaker 3: In fact, I was telling him I was, I listen, 459 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 3: and the one area we probably should not go to 460 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 3: is that area, just because I didn't know I was 461 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 3: going on there and on. But we didn't know where 462 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 3: we were going. We just typed it in the GPS, and 463 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,439 Speaker 3: we ended up cruising right by there. There's a big 464 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 3: mural for George Floyd that's there, The liquor store is 465 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,959 Speaker 3: still there. There's a bunch of random protest signs that 466 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,640 Speaker 3: are out in the roundabout in front of the liquor store. 467 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 3: I mean, it was really wild, Danny. I mean I 468 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 3: did not want to go there. I thought, you know, whatever, 469 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,239 Speaker 3: it's not a place for me to visit. And then 470 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 3: we ended up there and we drive we drove by, 471 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 3: but I saw the spot where the incident happened, right 472 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 3: in front of the liquor. 473 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: Store there, and it was really interesting to think about. 474 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 3: I mean, what had happened there and everything that happened 475 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 3: since then, that event in Minnesota, which happened. The third 476 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 3: anniversary was on Thursday of this week, so just a 477 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 3: couple days ago was the third anniversary back in twenty 478 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:37,719 Speaker 3: twenty of the event, so it was We did eventually 479 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 3: get to the bakery. They were out of cinnamon rolls, 480 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 3: so that was also disappointing. But I did get a 481 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 3: donut which was pretty good and all that, so that 482 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 3: was that was pretty cool. 483 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: So I got that and that was my. 484 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 5: We were there still people visiting that area or was 485 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 5: it more like the mural and the signs and stuff 486 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:00,919 Speaker 5: were just left from the past. 487 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 3: No, there were some signs for different people that had been, 488 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 3: according to the signs, had been the victims of brutality 489 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 3: from law enforcement. 490 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 1: That's kind of like the staging here. 491 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,880 Speaker 3: I don't know how to describe it properly, but that's 492 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 3: where if you have something to complain about or protest 493 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,479 Speaker 3: about it as an injustice, you put the sign up 494 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 3: in that area. There weren't too many people there. It 495 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 3: wasn't like it was overwhelming the area, but it was 496 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 3: only a couple of miles from where we were staying. 497 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 1: It was like everything's real close in Minnesota. 498 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 3: There's not a lot of distance between anything in Minneapolis 499 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 3: and Saint Paul. I got to walk across by the 500 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 3: way the Mississippi River, which was kind of cool. I 501 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 3: can add that I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge, the 502 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 3: Golden Gate Bridge, and there's this other bridge in Minnesota 503 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 3: where it goes right across the Mississippi River, the Mighty 504 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 3: Mississippi River, And. 505 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 4: That was pretty important and very important question.

You don't you don't 515 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: need it. And I didn't get my cinnamon role.

And so the person at the at 598 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 3: the nooks like, listen, you gotta wait three to five 599 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 3: minutes otherwise you're gonna burn your tongue and the roof 600 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 3: of your mouth, and like, all right, whatever.

My wife 603 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 3: thought that was funny that I said a timer. I 604 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 3: didn't want to burn my mouth. 605 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 4: You can't count to three minutes. 606 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 3: No, no, you remember the last time I burned my 607 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 3: mouth when I made pizza. And then I decided to 608 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 3: eat the pizza very quickly, and I sounded like I 609 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 3: sound like Lou Holtz for two weeks? 610 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: Is that a lisp? 611 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 3: Because my tongue. So I was like, I'm not gonna 612 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 3: get injured on this. I'm not, so whatever, I sent 613 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 3: my timer. I end up biting into that that juicy 614 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 3: lucy and it was still scolding hot. It was still 615 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 3: scolding hot, but it was wonderful, and then over the 616 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 3: course of the weekend at different points we ate at 617 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 3: the other two locations matts in five twenty eight. Now 618 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 3: you know how in la there's a great debate about 619 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 3: whether or not the French dip started at. 620 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 1: Cole's or Philip's, the two. 621 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 3: So in Minnesota there's a debate is it match or 622 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 3: is it five twenty eight? They go back and forth, 623 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 3: and so we we ate a match. After the Mala 624 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 3: meeting mentioned, I couldn't eat anything that it didn't have 625 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 3: time to eat. 626 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: Just had a glass of water. So we went out. 627 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 3: We actually watched I watched the end of the Laker 628 00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 3: Nuggets game, which was Game three, watch from Matts and 629 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 3: I'll give you the positives and the negatives of Matts. 630 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: Now. 631 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 3: The positives solid Burger, the decorp had a good charm 632 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 3: to it. It looked like it was the same as 633 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 3: it had been seventy years ago when the place opened, 634 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 3: hadn't changed anything. The negatives hash only so no credit cards, 635 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 3: which is a nuisance in this modern world where we 636 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 3: paid with everything with credit cards. Not a lot of 637 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 3: room was an older place that was part of it 638 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 3: was a blessing and a curse because it was really 639 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 3: cool because it was old, but it was. 640 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: Kind of tight. It was small, yeah, pretty expensive. 641 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 5: It seemed like they cleaned seventy years ago as well, or. 642 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 3: Well, the last time they cleaned it was about fifty 643 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 3: years ago, so not seventy they cleaned it fifty years ago. 644 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 3: And so we went there, and then I went to 645 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 3: the five to twenty eight on Sunday night. We went 646 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 3: to the five twenty eight with my brother positives on 647 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 3: that nice big location, lots of parking, large portions. We 648 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,320 Speaker 3: ordered onion strings and they gave me enough onion strings 649 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 3: to fill Lake Superior. It was that many onion strings. 650 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:18,399 Speaker 3: The burger was big. However, I docked five twenty eight 651 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,879 Speaker 3: points because the burger was undercooked. 652 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 1: Dude, I can't handle that. It was. 653 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 3: It was disgusting that it was not cooked well enough. 654 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 3: Send it back nine and send it back as I don't. 655 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,800 Speaker 4: Want to be that guy. 656 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 3: The overall quality, I didn't think it was up to 657 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 3: the other restaurants. Like the portion size was awesome, but anyway, 658 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 3: the Malor report card on this Meaty Showdown the ultimate 659 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 3: report card on the Juicy Lucy. So the mal report 660 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 3: Card Juicy Lucy one to ten, with ten being a 661 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 3: masterpiece five twenty eight. I gave that only a six. 662 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,400 Speaker 3: The reason and I gave it a six is because 663 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 3: the portion size. I'm guessing if I went back there 664 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 3: and they actually made the burger the right way and 665 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:07,880 Speaker 3: it was a little more well done, I'd actually like it, 666 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 3: but they didn't, so I docked them points, so I 667 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:11,799 Speaker 3: all gave them a six. 668 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 1: Matts. 669 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 3: I went pretty high on this one. I gave it 670 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 3: an eight. And the reason I gave it an eight, 671 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 3: I thought the burger was pretty good. I did like 672 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 3: the ambiance. I dockted a point because it was a 673 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 3: cash only situation. They did not give large enough portions, 674 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,319 Speaker 3: so I gave that a minus one point also, so 675 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,360 Speaker 3: I ended up with an eight. And then the Nook 676 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 3: on a Malord report card one to ten, with ten 677 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 3: being the greatest of the greatest. I gave the nook 678 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 3: a nine point five a five. I loved the nook 679 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,800 Speaker 3: in Saint Paul, I recommended I give it the Malord 680 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,400 Speaker 3: stamp of approval. They're not paying me to review this. 681 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 3: They didn't give me free food. I loved it. In fact, 682 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 3: we loved it so much. Danny our last stop on 683 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 3: the way back to the airport after we checked out 684 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,799 Speaker 3: of the place we were saying. The final meal we 685 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 3: had in Minneapolis was the Nook and I ordered the 686 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 3: Paul Molitor. I had the Paul Molitor and it had 687 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 3: the pepper jack in there. 688 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: And it was very messy, very messy. 689 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:24,759 Speaker 3: There was cheese everywhere, gooey cheese all over. I got 690 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 3: my shirt stained with these. I enjoyed every second of it. 691 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,840 Speaker 3: Saint Paul is beautiful. I went to the state capitol 692 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,280 Speaker 3: in Saint Paul checked that out and it was just awesome. 693 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 1: It was great, So good job by the Nook. 694 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 3: It's right across from this baseball field at the local 695 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:45,799 Speaker 3: college in Saint Paul. There's a grocery store on the 696 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 3: other side. There's a gas station on one other corner. 697 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:49,359 Speaker 1: But it was great. 698 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,399 Speaker 3: It was as a barbershop, little barber shop there, So 699 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,280 Speaker 3: that is the man. 700 00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 5: Mothers. They're doing a victory lap right now when they 701 00:36:58,040 --> 00:36:58,760 Speaker 5: hear this news. 702 00:36:58,760 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 4: Ben. It was great. 703 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 3: The Knoock was wonderful and if I make my way 704 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 3: back to Minnesota, I will go there again. I also 705 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:09,960 Speaker 3: did visit quickly, Danny. I visited all of these sporting venues. 706 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 3: None of the teams were in town. They the It 707 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,320 Speaker 3: was so funny. We were at an arcade on Friday 708 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 3: night watching the Twins game as they were playing the Angels, 709 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 3: which is not far from the north Woods where the 710 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,279 Speaker 3: Malor Mansion is in southern California. So we're watching the 711 00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,320 Speaker 3: Twins play the Angels while I'm in Minnesota and they're 712 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:31,520 Speaker 3: in southern California. 713 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:34,360 Speaker 4: So that must have felt weird. 714 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 1: That was at awkward. 715 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,359 Speaker 3: But then I went to Target Field, went to the 716 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 3: Viking Stadium, went to the Target Center, and that whole 717 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:46,799 Speaker 3: area wandered around there. My my wife thought we were 718 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:51,279 Speaker 3: gonna get shanked because we went around sundown. There's a 719 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 3: there's like a zombie apocalypse in downtown Minneapolis, Danny, just 720 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,279 Speaker 3: like you see in LA or San Francisco or New York. 721 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,320 Speaker 1: It's no different. It is scary. 722 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 3: There's a bunch of crackheads walking around and totally disheveled 723 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,880 Speaker 3: and messed up, and you don't know what they're doing. 724 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 3: You know, it's not legal whatever they got going on. 725 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,879 Speaker 3: And fortunately we did not get shanked, and I did 726 00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 3: take some photos. Maybe I'll post some of those photos 727 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,239 Speaker 3: today from around Minnesota. I'll do it this weekend at 728 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,360 Speaker 3: some point. But I went to the to all the stadiums. 729 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 3: Viking Stadium is amazing. That's where the old Metrodome used 730 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,399 Speaker 3: to be. That site, I'm told Quin's Ballpark looked good. 731 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 3: Target Center the house that Patrick Beverly built that great 732 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 3: playing championship a couple of years ago. 733 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 1: For the Timberwolves. 734 00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:42,399 Speaker 3: So good times, good times all around, and I think 735 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,399 Speaker 3: we'll get out on that.
