Summary
The 93X Half-Assed Morning Show episode explores irrational rage triggered by minor personal mistakes, featuring discussions on self-criticism, physical clumsiness, and everyday frustrations. The show includes interviews with Minnesota Wild player Marcus Felino about playoff preparation and humanitarian work, and attorney Ryan Pesiga discussing personal injury law and accident response protocols.
Insights
- Self-directed anger over minor physical mistakes (dropping items, clumsiness) is more common than externally-directed rage, suggesting widespread perfectionism and self-criticism issues
- Trial-experienced criminal defense lawyers transitioning to personal injury law achieve significantly higher verdicts (70-80% win rate vs. 20% average) due to courtroom expertise
- Forgiveness and mercy toward wrongdoers provides greater psychological peace than resentment, even in severe cases like victim families
- Insurance companies actively work against claimants' interests; victims should never provide statements without legal counsel
- Professional athletes acknowledge regular-season boredom but struggle with maturity in public communication about effort levels

What's going on podcast pimps? Dana here to once again sing the praises of standard heating and air conditioning. I got on the ball early, I already got my AC tuned up for summer and I think you should too. An AC tune up means better efficiency, fewer breakdowns and peace of mind before we get chokes slammed with heat. And right now it's their early bird special. $45 off an AC tune up or $90 and you add your furnace in as well. Smart folks like me don't wait for the first 80 degree day. We plan ahead. Book by May 25th and check it off your list at StandardHeating.com. Providing the comfort you deserve since 1930. The 93X half-assed morning show. 93. All right. Off we go. It's Thursday. Welcome to the 93X half-assed morning show. Sure hope you're doing terrific. I'm not. I'm damaged. What's going on? I was just, well I was telling you off air about it Josh. Oh it's that. Yeah. I was just explaining to Josh off air. He gave me a good listening to. Sorry I blew up Josh. Oh no I'm in here. Whatever you need. He gave me a good listening to. I was telling Josh about how much bizarre misplaced rage I have deep down in my soul. And let me explain it to the rest of you is because you'll probably witness it at one point or another here in the building. I feel like I should explain myself before I shock you with some. I'm sure there's nothing unique about my problem or at least I if I am the only one who suffers from this kind of thing then I promise I will seek help. This is the deal. It's the tiniest things that are sending me into a rage. That's the problem. I'm not blowing up at everybody. You know how everyone knows a few people who constantly blow up over everything right. Yeah. Ticking time bombs. Those people. My problem is like this and I was explaining this to Josh I think exactly with this scenario. I'm not blowing up at other people. I blow up at myself. I'm very critical of myself. Here's how it plays out. Say I'm at home and I'm working on something here for the for the program and I drop my pen on to the floor. It's then that I get a rationally angry with myself. Yeah I get that. Can you relate to that. I'm the same exact way. I have a really short fuse and yeah I get mad at these stupidest like full on breakdown. Son of a bitch like that kind of. Yes. And all I did was drop a pen on to the floor. I have to go get it. That that shouldn't make someone come on court but that's what's happening to me. The most recent one was yesterday I was trying to fill up my water bottle in the sink at home and I like dropped the lid into the sink so it's not like it's dirty or anything and I just freaked out. Okay come on. That's exactly what I'm talking about. So let me ask you some further questions Ashley. Here's where I think it becomes bizarre. Later on that day. Okay I dropped my pen on the floor. I flip out at myself. How could that be possible. I'm a grown man and I just dropped a pen. How come I can't keep that pen in my hand like a grown person. It's ridiculous. Later on that day someone will cut me off in traffic. Something with real consequences right or at least possible consequences. Someone cuts me off in traffic where a normal person would say you bastard. It has zero effect on me. That that's what I'm talking. That's the weird part of it. Yeah. No I'm just constantly mad. I don't have that. I mean that would probably I guess it would be the same reaction though for me like somebody cutting me off would make me as angry as like you said dropping a pen on the ground. That's the weird part. I don't get angry at things that make most folks angry like another like what the example we just used getting cut off in traffic has zero effect on me but I'm at home alone. I drop a pen and I go nuclear. Yeah I don't I don't really blow up but I totally understand what you're saying because getting cut off in traffic that that's not on you dropping a pen you think I'm smarter than that. I'm 50 some years old I should be able to hold on to a pen and I know for me where I'm like God you know am I really that stupid if it's a little thing that's more like that's kind of how I am like you're the dumbest person why would that ever happen like drop like you said like if I put I don't know like I put my phone in the fridge I haven't done that I'm not that see now but you know it's like something kind of stupid that everybody knows how to do why would I screw that up. I've been damaged somehow. Well it may it makes sense if you can't control somebody cutting you off. Okay appreciate that I could use all the help available it's usually almost always something physical like if my wife walked up to me and said hey stupid weren't we just talking about a couple days ago we were talking about how I used to be very forgetful when it came to paying bills if my wife walked up to me and said hey stupid you forgot to pay the electrical bill I would go oh yeah that wouldn't bother me right it's usually something physical I trip I drop something I you know what I'm saying yes if that helps you in analyzing my problem at all it's almost always something physical stub your toe I reach for the remote and knock it off the coffee table oh that would piss me off the little physical mistakes little little bits of clumsiness that's what sets me off like you just disappointed in yourself I saw you take some rage out on a pickleball net once because you were you kept hitting the ball into the net athletic competition well it's a physical thing yeah I mean I I like to believe that if I'm playing pickleball or what other what other bowling or something that an old person would do I would like to believe that I'm not in a rage the entire time that would be whoever want to play with me but sure athletic competitions will still set me off from time to time so anyway just a little look into my brain damage there the spokesperson geezer spokesman Jesus says the first time I drop a pen no big deal if I drop it twice in a row look out world and that's some angry emojis okay all right I'm gonna drop a pen all right no big deal right deal second half it right so yeah I didn't think it was wildly unique again with the exception of how I explained I'm I'm I'm getting mad for no reason over little physical mistakes I make but I'm not getting mad at all in situations where most folks normally would I'll give you another example the other day I pulled one of my socks on which is a struggle in the first place at my age to be able to bend over and properly put one of my socks on and once I pulled it onto my foot cubby I noticed it was inside out oh my god I went nuts that's the word I went not I got to start all over again yeah now some of these might be saying well what was just leave it inside just pull the one on inside no I had to it's if you had to blow up over something that's better I think the way you've got it versus taking it out on everybody else you're not running people off the road or anything like that I agree with you you're right your problems are your problem I'm not a danger to society it sounds like I'm becoming more and more of a danger to myself chaos coordinator she's a said I get that first patient shows up 10 minutes before their appointment son of a bee I haven't hate that what what happens if if the first person who she meets an appointment has an appointment that's 10 minutes early fast forward two hours later patients that show up 10 minutes early totally fine it's always that first person that pisses me off it's got to be just you know some there's some people have noticed in this building where they you just if you say hi to them in the morning they're in a bad mood gotta give them time to kind of wake up and stuff like that well don't talk to them till they've had their coffee Josh pretty much like that that's kind of the that's exactly I would say that's exactly the attitude I don't think I'm taking it out on anybody else I don't think I'm coming into work in a terrible mood or here are some other things that make people lose their frigging mind minor things minor things that make people lose their mind when your headphones catch on a wire or something and it yanks it smooth out of your ear oh yeah I have wireless earbuds but like if one falls out I like and like I can feel that it's about to happen and I do nothing to stop it but if one falls out I get so ticked off I now I got a bend over I think that happens to me with our work you know our work headphones are wired oh it's everyone's well everyone's with these and the wires are so long like you can trip over them when it catches in the chair the wheel the chair that's the worst that's how that drives me insane and then I'm thinking I have to buy a new wire this sucks yeah you talking about our headphones here at work yes oh yeah when they get wrapped up in the chair that's that that could take you a smooth hour yeah it's like when you get a snag when you're out fishing you could be sitting there all day try unless you just want to cut the line we can't cut the cord on these headphones these things cost real money it could rip your head off sometimes too it's so violent when you're rolling back or something your sleeve gets slightly wet at the sink does that cause anybody to have a meltdown no it used to but I I've been a lot better about that it definitely pisses my husband off he'll be like washing the dishes and I'll have to use the sink quick so I kind of like reach over them and do whatever I'm doing and it makes him so mad because I'll like full blasts the sink and splatter water everywhere are you one of those he's like why do you do this I'm like it's just water I can clean it up when you're in a sink do you do you wet the entire room yeah 100% but I always clean it up it doesn't mean yeah okay okay that's fine because I've mentioned before when my dad was around when he'd come to stay with me when he would use the bathroom and I'd hear the sink you know he's brushing his teeth he's washing his face whatever he's doing in there he would then walk away I would go in to use the bathroom and it appeared to me that he was I don't know it appeared to me that he wet his entire head and then shook himself off like a dog there's water all over the sink and all he did was go in there maybe shave brush his teeth and wash his face water everywhere on the floor all over the what else makes us irrationally pissed off I would say oh sorry glad I was gonna say I just thought of one that happens to me too often is when the drawstring in a hoodie or a pair of athletic shorts gets pulled through so you got to like fish it back out you know I'm talking about sure oh that drives me nuts you're sitting there just inching it by millimeter by millimeter trying to get it back out again oh it drives me wild forgetting your password Josh forgetting your password sure I have a manager that helps with that not not an individual but an app oh that helps me there that is so smart because before it would just be the exact same password with maybe a different number on it well actually forever I could tell you was no rest for the wicked was my main one and I went just down Diary of a Mad Man different Aussie albums those were all my passwords so I changed that upwards just generates it to something crazy to the point where I've shared it a couple times like with the kids for something mm-hmm and my daughter asked me if I had a stroke because some of some of them will they'll just put random words together and stuff like that and she was concerned about what was going on in my head I got password shamed by a girl once she said that my Wi-Fi password wasn't strong enough and I was gonna get hacked and I thought that was a very bizarre thing to get criticized about it's Wi-Fi in an apartment I don't I think we're okay here well you somebody could be looking up some pretty terrible stuff you have to deal with that I understand what she's saying there but it's just a weird thing to get criticized about bad people will go after you for weird stuff sometimes oh yeah has anybody said anything about that hat yet no is it bad nope I can't even see what it was okay okay I we've been talking about things that make you flip out things that make you irrationally angry I'm struggling with that these days okay how about how about this illusory tax it in to say when he unties his work boot and the laces go into a knot I don't know do you understand what yeah yeah yeah sometimes when those knots are so tight that can be kind of frustrating use a fork what do you got your work or work a pocket knife a pocket knife not being able to open up a ziplock bag oh that literally happened to me yesterday I have a bagel every single morning here sure and I I reuse the ziplock that I bring it in because you know save the planet and stuff like that that's gonna do that's gonna put us over the top exactly exactly in the frickin slidey thingy that closes it came off God I was so pissed you have surprised nobody heard me because I was you know toasting my bagel in the in the building over there and I just started cussing up a storm the little the little plastic packets of mustard and whatnot at your fast food restaurant when you can't get those pigs open and then you have to use your mouth and then some of it like some of it gets in your mouth what about if you're like at a grocery store and you're trying to put some produce and some of those little bags you know those little clear plastic bags just to open those things yeah you're rubbing it together like wait is this the wrong side how did I see him with like the little garbage bags for like a bathroom garbage so it can I open it it gets you mad well not really mad I'm just I'm frustrated with my you know I don't blow up I guess it's from frustrated with myself like so many people figure this out I just watched a 90 year old woman do it no problem and I can't get this I'm like frustrated myself like I'm losing it yeah I've been getting too pissed off at myself for these little things I stopped using those produce bags all together to avoid that I'm just like whatever I'm gonna wash them anyway I'll just put them in the dirty cart I can almost never do it I this is a little bit different but you're talking about getting water on your sleeves at the one one of our sinks over here is a little violent with that so it's kind of touchy and for some reason I thought oh I know how to avoid getting water on my sleeves here I just extended my body as far as I could from the sink so my sleeves bunched up a little bit instead of just rolling my sleeves up like a normal person yeah I don't feel just too early in the morning or what but I thought what are you doing you know when you buy a package of cheese now there's that hey tear here it says on the package right and you tear the the plastic off and then it has its own ziplock feature on the bag everyone understands what I'll do is I'll rip I think I'm ripping the top open but I even rip off their ziplock yeah so then I have to remove that I've not ruined the package that's meant to keep the cheese fresh then I have to go find a ziplock bag in the house somewhere and take the cheese out of its intended package and put it in a nuke because I've torn the these are the things that make me crazy I keep getting crap I want to know how you guys feel about this I keep getting crap for like opening up the cheese and I guess I don't for some reason I don't rip off that top part all the way so it's like hanging on to the bag of cheese sure I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get killed over it soon and do you guys do that would that bother you oh yeah yeah that would piss me off really yes I know exactly what you mean that would piss me off because then I'm having an even harder time getting at the cheese because I didn't do my job properly the first time there's a few other members of our listing audience here texting in to 651-98-993-93 who get a rationally angry at themselves over the silliest little things I knew I wasn't alone I appreciate your input tanker Jesus Saran wrap anything to do with that frustrated man he said you know we usually buy just whatever the bargain brand is you know but that Saran wrap we'll spend the money on that the best thing you can do for yourself is get like the pre-cut Saran wrap so that like you don't have to wrestle with the box it's just like a I don't know how to call it but they have kind of like a pre-cut line that you can rip along I know that I've almost cut a finger off a few times yeah or tin foil those the aluminum foil so I'm an idiot about I'll try to keep it together well here's a good one from a 507 or when you try and pick something up from the floor and you miss you miss it I've done that so I mean sober you're it seems like something you should be able to do that's exactly what I'm talking about I will become completely irrational in that moment but much grander issues I don't get pissed yeah I think that's because you're frustrated with yourself with myself I guess so people are mentioned things like yeah dropping food or something important in between the seats of your car static electricity when you get that little shock reaching for a door yeah boy sometimes that's not so little pisses me off oh that pisses me off and I have zero control over that I dropped my phone I was putting my son in his car seat and so I dropped my phone into my trunk because you know it's like open there and I just left it there for a couple hours I thought no I'm done I'm not doing that I'm not gonna get that now it was so so irritated oh wow what else is going on around here yeah so that's what I've been dealing with understandable I haven't seen you freak out around here or maybe the other day something dropped or I know sometimes when you can't find something that you just set down that'll set you off yeah and you'll like throw something it's all self it's all dealing with my own personal yeah I don't try to lash out at others I I'm terribly critical of myself for those stupid little things yeah when I swear to God I had something a piece of paper right in front of me and I can't find the damn thing did I throw something oh I guess the other day I yeah every once in a while but it was just again all directed at me this is different this is more cognitive I guess but I've you guys know I listen to audiobooks all the time and lately I just haven't been able to focus like I started a new one recently and I get frustrated with myself like dude you haven't paid attention at all so I'll rewind it and go focus and I'll immediately pay attention to something else in my mind's wandering yeah it's been a problem the last week where I'm kind of concerned maybe you just got and got too much going on I guess I don't know usually I'm better at paying attention to that kind of thing I'm getting into them yeah it's been wild lately I've heard that problem before you know you you listen to audiobooks I mean it's it's so much more convenient than holding a book in your lap and you know dipping your hat you get on my neck after a while reading a book you these audiobooks are supposed to be easier but still you can lose your place my sister was just explaining she has the same problem she's listening to an audiobook for 20 minutes and realizes she hasn't heard a friggin word out of the you kind of got a train at least I for me I've had to train myself to pay attention but lately I've sucked at it oh hey later on this morning Marcus Felino's gonna join us from the man bear pigs they're

is all it's very real it's silly it's unnecessary but this is a daily thing for me I get a rationally angry over a little stupid things usually it's my own f up and I'm very critical of myself you dumb bastard you stupid son of a bit a lot of text messages came in on irrational rage this is a lot of fun for me I love this subject here are some of the things that send our listening audience into a friggin tizzy here's a guy Josh he says when you take your boner pill and you don't end up needing it you wasted a good bone walking around the house with a hard on all night but he's got no one to use it on no that's thanks technically you wasted money right I mean those pills I'd imagine aren't cheap he thought for sure the wife was gonna give him a piece he's walking around the house full mast what am I gonna do with this $25 boner this is great and I mean it happens we flip out and sometimes just for the stupidest reason here's a listener who says I'm filling my car with gas I take the nozzle out and the tiniest drip of gas hits the paint job on my car I want to burn the world down when the little bits of styrofoam they won't get off me yeah that does suck get off of me one of our listeners says that printers piss him off they're very heavy they break easily Josh I don't know if you got the email we got an email from our engineer saying that our printer needs to be moved or at right now sometime this morning it need from it needs to be moved from where it's currently sitting I'm happy to hell the other side of the son of a bitch more ways our listing audience gets irrationally pissed usually at themselves dropping a socket into the lowest possible part of the engine bay oh I bet that sucks every time for me I don't do any work on my own car but I can relate I do work on my own lawnmower and any time I'm working on that some bitch it's a guarantee I will drop some kind of hand tool down into the bay of that lawnmower engine it screwdriver oh you know what I like to drop Josh every time I fix my lawnmower I love to drop that oil filter wrench I love to drop that somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 times before I'm done here's a guy who says he gets irrational angry irrationally angry when he has to take a deuce when he's in the middle of work when he's in the middle of a project I get that rage but it's P rage don't I Josh after we get off the air yeah because you're in the zone trying to work on something and all of a sudden you just can't hold it anymore you got to go I hate taking a piss break after we get off the air when Josh and I are prepping for the next day yeah I get angry stupid got take a piss it's only natural but I get mad because it interrupts the flow of my and don't get cute with that fire sprinkler Jesus says texting the half-assed morning show and they never read my also people are texting in about folks who when they drop a piece of paper they go to pick it up and a little wind picks up that paper and you got to walk a little further and then it happens again and you see somebody's looking at you you look like a moron let it go it's like that old trick when guys will put a five dollar bill on the end of a fish a lot yeah you keep chasing it and chasing Jewish Jewish Jesus a Texan and something that it's probably my number one cause for rage and that's losing your vape when I lose my vape it God I get so put because I put it right there I swear to God I put it right there see how did it move why is it over there oh you're an addict oh my god yeah it's bad step one is admitting you have a problem that is when I realized like alright like almost whenever that happens there is a moment where I think I should quit this is this is out of hand that's funny that that's why you want to quit like this should not make me so angry not the health reasons not the anything else the money it's that you get annoyed to yourself that you can't find your vape she don't want to live forever now more Tex on irrational rage this is from big toe Jesus he says the recoil on his weed whip broke I fixed it but I tried to pull start that sum bitch for 30 minutes my shoulders were about to blow out I'll bet then the recoil broke again I discus drew that piece of trash out the open garage door onto the road and I came absolutely on him my wife could hear me in the house yelling I'm sure all the neighbors heard it as well I never fixed that sum bitch either bought a new one piss on it then you have to go pick it up you don't have to pick it up leave it there forever when a piece of clothing gets caught on a kitchen drawer handle oh yeah and you pull it right out yeah you yank it the drawer all the way out yeah Josh you ever do this one of our listeners gets real pissed when he puts a shirt on backwards and he takes it off to start over and then he puts it on backwards again I haven't had that happen but I could see doing that yes this is not much for specifics here but again I enjoy the hell out of all of this I don't care what you have to say we I love hearing about your irrational rage because it's part of my daily life so this one's kind of vague but our listener says I can be in the best mood ever one random loud noise and I'm instantly 0 to 100 pissed off one a rat one random I wonder what missing the toilet and pissing on my socks I'm in my 50s how am I missing at this point in my life how I question myself with that sometimes just happen when you're sitting though are you talking to me yeah we still can okay I have a small penis so it just goes straight ahead no no it doesn't there's not enough to curve downwards what's the percentage Josh how often do you set down to take a leak and how often do you stand up is it a 50-50 kind of a thing radio answer or real answer real answer never I never sit to pee ever but my radio answer I'm sorry my radio answer radio answer that's under your business hmm all right we're getting there I used to sit to pee when I was brushing my teeth and I mentioned that and I got so much shame for it I decided you know what I'm gonna stand and you to hell with it if I get pee everywhere when I'm brushing my teeth now I've got a electric toothbrush so it's not as violent of emotion oh yeah so I can stand in pee while brushing my teeth I stand when you can sit and Nick has a whole saying on or your body had a whole saying on oh it's my favorite saying in the world yeah I live by that now why stand up when you can sit down and why sit down when you can lie down all right you want to hear a little story here about irrational rage one of our listeners says when you go to throw something in the garbage and you miss and then you walk closer to the garbage and you miss again and then you walk even closer to the garbage and you keep keep missing and then you try to pull the garbage can over to you and you tip it over and trash spills everywhere and your wife asks you what's wrong with you and you say nothing nothing is wrong with me I've missed a slam dunk at the garbage can it's the worst when you're like Kobe or he's trying to shoot from you know far away and you're like curry and you still miss it you look you sound like a moron because you were really amping yourself up beforehand all right finally clown Jesus texted in to say that autocorrect passes him off that's genius right there that's funny that is very good all right on to the stupid news report here in a minute did you move the printer yeah I already moved because engineers probably move it back they sent an email that said we need to move the printer oh yeah no problem all right those drunk drivers they're always doing something adorable right something cute here we go again in a place called Hillsborough County which is located somewhere so it doesn't really matter Hillsborough County a gal was driving while hammered friggin idiot she was in such terrible shape she was driving the wrong way into oncoming traffic which is of course a great way to kill innocent children I've done that sober as that was a dark day I felt really stupid it was up like I just started driving I think I was only driving for like a month or two at that point and I was pretty sleepy and I pulled out on to stretch of the highway that I wasn't familiar with and I didn't realize I was going the complete wrong way until somebody else started coming I was like oh oh no and like I was stuck because it was like a had one of those like median mediums in the middle yeah so barrier so did you go down an off ramp no it was awful no I didn't have to do that thankfully did you go on to the highway via an off ramp no no no I think I would have noticed that but yeah I felt so stupid four lanes it was two lanes I've only had that happen once it was when the light rail lanes first showed up there in midway here in St. Paul I turned and had no idea how to do it oh yeah I've done that too just for a split second I think everybody Josh when they first built that light rail in Minneapolis everybody drove down the tracks at least once yes I still can't figure it out I stay away from it I'm just gonna go to the next street it stresses me out you did Dana did so again how did you go how did you that's what I mean I had no idea how it if it was a two-lane highway then you were just driving on the wrong side of the road like you were in England or something yeah I was so stupid is it possible everyone else was driving the wrong way I had to be it but and then it was late at night it was late at night so that didn't help but I thought for sure okay great now somebody's gonna call the cops because they're going to assume that I'm hammered because who does this sober well they should call the cops on you anyway just call the cops on the person that gave you the driver's license to begin with hey I passed by like one point the guy told me so suddenly you were in Holland or something and you were just driving like how did I not put how how did I do something that's stupid how was speaking of how how was the guy when he told you you passed like what was his attitude you said you passed by one point he was like very excited for me it was a it was kind of a weird thing he was wearing driving gloves as the passenger didn't you say that didn't he say that maybe he was sexually attracted to you yeah he made me do like after he was like told me that I passed by one point he made me do like this weird handshake I don't know it was like this with them if you do know what this is called no I don't want to know what that was called reminds me if anybody's ever seen the sweet life of Zach and Cody it's the handshake that they do in that TV show did he give you a little pat on the bottom I I thought he was going to but his attitude completely changed when I you know I passed so I ran into the arms of my high school boyfriend at the time and like did like a running jump hug and he was not as friendly to me after that your driving instructor saw that you had a man yeah and that upset him that was odd that's an odd day my my daughter kind of went through that with her drive driver's ed person not the person that doing the test where he was asking her a lot of weird questions so she's my stepdaughter are you wearing a bra no it's nothing like that but and so you know my wife had gotten divorced when she was to not my wife my wife was older and my my stepdaughter was to and he was like so asking all kinds of questions about it he turns out like he wanted to leave his wife and so he wanted to know like what that means for the kids and stuff like that which was an odd thing to be talking to a 15 year old about but he kept making her uncomfortable as he keeps asking all these really goofy questions life questions yeah asking a child basically like you know what should I do about my relationship here as as an adult I'm gonna ask this 15 year old but actually going back to what you said about passing by one point I did find on my driver's test but for my motorcycle endorsement that guy I mean it was kind of funny for him maybe not for me but I was not very good that for anybody who's taken it like that's super sharp turn I sucked at that there's a couple things I sucked at he's like well you know it wasn't pretty but technically you pass I gotta give it to you man you really shouldn't be on the road I'd be yeah I'd be sketched out to drive my motorcycle that basically shaking on my way home does the instructor sit on the back of the motorcycle with you like arms wrapped around you know it's spider he sits up front I just stands there with a clip board okay our back in the day it was maybe it's an iPad now but a clipboard and just writes everything I did wrong picture Joshua some like biker goggles and the guy behind them just wrapped around his arms around you that was so humbling to say the least what the hell were we talking about anyway rat irrational things that make you upset and then we're talking about this drunk lady all the drunk lady yeah again at least she had an excuse she was drunk Ashley she was driving into oncoming traffic so this ugly lady luckily she didn't disembowel anyone's grandmother along the way the police were able to get her to pull over the cops found out that this gal goes by the name of cammy and when they often started a conversation with cammy they asked her are you feeling okay and cammy says yeah yeah I'm good I bet she is feeling pretty good she looked exhausted and the cops said you're good well you were just driving the wrong way on the road and you hopped a curb as far as I know cammy had no response for that dose of reality like I said to start the story selfish plugs who drive hammered always have something cute to offer when the cop asked cammy for her driver's license she handed over first she handed over a credit card and that ain't it no for her next trick she handed the cop she handed the cop a Barnes and Noble gift card your driver's license that's your credit card thank you it's a Barnes and Noble gift card you go ahead and put your hands right behind your back okay listen you're gonna be arrested for DUI dying okay I love how the cop played that off like that he's like taking the time to be like is that Barnes and Noble the police handcuffed cammy and took her to jail started off with the credit card moved on to her Barnes and Noble gift card I wonder how long it took for her to realize she was being arrested for a DUI because she looked in a completely different plane of existence yeah that gal was blasted very wobbly driving into oncoming traffic Jesus that frightens the hell out of me Ashley that you did that stone cold sober I know better sober I guess well I guess I just started driving it was dark out I was a little sleepy you know we were talking about the events of Ashley the day she got her driver's license Josh mentioned his stepdaughter's experience with her behind the wheel instructor I remember when I was learning to drive with the driving instructor a guy I remember back then my name was Joey and when I got in the car he said Joey you ever been in the driver's seat before and I said no I've never even been in a car before and he said you ever seen a grown man naked if you've got a parent or grandparent who's older than the hills I'm sure you worry about them especially if they're living alone in Ohio a 91 year old lady has a visit has had a visit a 91 year old lady got a visit from the local cops that surprised the hell out of her the old bag of bones but let's call her great grandma I don't have a name here so we'll just call her great grandma it says your great grandma is part of a local police program called are you okay it's a little program they got in town in Ohio and it works like this here if you're on their list like great grandma is they up and give you a telephone call every day to make sure you haven't you know fallen down into the cellar and shattered both femurs or whatever they call you on the telephone every day to make sure you're not dead yet nice idea right well the other day great grandma didn't answer their call even great grandma's daughter who's no spring chicken herself she made a telephone call over to the house no answer by rule in the are you okay program if nobody answers the telephone the police department drops everything and they race over there to collect the body when the cops walked into great-grandma house they expected to find a lifeless gray-haired carcass she's 91 years old instead there she was in her bedroom fingering her favorite video game that's hilarious she told the cops that she was dialed the f into her favorite video game and the reason she didn't bother answer in any telephone calls was because she was damn close to breaking her all-time high score love that it is awesome I want to party with her what video game is this I don't know it never said it's too bad f the phone she said I'm going for a new record so she never answered that's cool that she's gaming at that age yeah that is that is super cool my you know I don't know why I'm not like some I've never had a pot I'm not a drugie never had a pot my my mother-in-law you know she does I've mentioned before and I had for something some reason I think that's just cool at her age she's doing stuff like that or my grandmother-in-law I guess you'd call her in her 90 she was hitting on dudes left and right still living at that age not a sweet great grandma was apparently very thankful that the cops stopped by to check on her one of the cops who walked into great grandma's bedroom had to quick hide the body bag he was carrying behind his back they didn't want her to know what they were expecting guys take her jewels out of your pocket she's still I put him back in the drawer that would be embarrassing you just stroll in all nonchalant with this big black heavy body bag oh whoa she's oh hi hi you're okay that's great this is it for you and you stop in the kitchen and make a sandwich first you know you know we'll get to it eventually but I'm hungry right now says here now the average gamer has gotten older there are more and more elderly gamers out there drooling all over their Xboxes and and game cubes I wonder if that keeps the brain spry sure I would bet you're right about that Josh the old folks home that my grandparents lived in had a like a I don't know what you call like an entertainment room that had a Nintendo Wii and the old folks love the Wii sports they got really into that we sports yeah I remember yeah oh yeah people just absolutely destroyed their flat screen TVs by launching that remote to the Wii remote into it the we motor yeah yeah that's what you for the folks that wouldn't put the little strap on the on their wrist because it was lame to put the strap on yeah so I was trying not to say strap on I should have put more of a space there yeah I think you're right Josh I think a mental exercise like a video game probably helps the old timers you know you get a you collect a lot of dust and cobwebs up there in the brain pan after a certain amount of years and and to exercise it I mean I knew a guy many years ago who got in a terrible car wreck and he was a little altered from then on out a little foggy he took a hell of a shot to the noggin and his brother told me it was good for him if he fielded a lot of questions about himself or anything for that matter it kept his brain active so I worked with this dude for a while with a brain injury and I took his brother's advice and I would constantly ask him every single detail about the prior day and you could you could see it kind of wake him up a little bit so I think there's probably some truth to that he probably thought I was out of my frigging mind myself because I wanted to know I went at what time did you get up what did you do first what did you have for breakfast how much did it cost did you go get gas did you talk to your mom on the telephone I would ask him about everything that he had going on the prior day he would answer but he must have thought Jesus this guy doesn't understand personal space you know but that's all that's very curious why I got going on I was very dialed into helping him by asking him about every little detail of his day okay so gamers are getting older the story here mentions a guy called no a gal called Skyrim grandma Shirley she apparently makes YouTube videos of her video game skills have any of you taken on Skyrim grandma Shirley no weren't you into Skyrim it is my favorite game oh it's still a whole entire world yeah I have a tattoo for it you do okay I knew you liked the game I didn't know you liked it that much what a badass there's an 81 year old lady in Arizona who's streamed minecraft I what does that mean that she streamed my her play playing Minecraft so she showed videos of her playing the game yeah you'd watch along yeah my son used to watch those it says here she's 81 years old she used her streamed minecraft videos to help pay for her grandson's cancer treatment so people people were paying her to watch her play and a 72 three-year-old fella by the name of Mike Williams cleaned out the game Elden ring in no time on the highest difficulty level or something along those lines I don't know what Elden ring is but I guess that's quite impressive for anybody let alone a 72 three-year-old to wipe that game out in a matter of minutes it's a very fun game Ashley is your Skyrim tattoo accessible and in a appropriate spot for company yeah it's on my wrist here oh can I see it yep that's that one yeah it's technically supposed to be like that way you know okay can see it that way yeah I actually is probably the tattoo I get the most comments on then I'm like realize what it is are they just like cuz it's a cool symbol yeah they realized right away nice nice let's see if they fall for it again you know my cousin worked on that video game no shut up I'm not doing that again yeah he got a Skyrim job I do want to just in case anybody texts or anything if there's fellow nerds out there it's technically an oblivion tattoo but oblivion is like the OG Skyrim just to be to be clear what what I know you guys don't get that nope I was gonna pretend I did because I wanted to seem like I fit in but I didn't know Josh didn't even know what the hell that's not a cool though it is cool oh you know just the other day we were talking about you know video gamers being sought after by the military to drive their drones around town and to what was the other gig we were talking about Josh it was drone driving and something else oh the FAA traffic controllers that's it yes not necessarily military sorry but yeah but both yep we were talking about both gamers are our thought of as prime candidates to be air traffic controllers because they're used to staring at screens for 76 consecutive hours and moving little characters around oh and speaking of video games and this is one of those stories where improvisation is impossible for me you have to have some understanding of the subject matter in order to add in side humor so I'm just gonna let her buck on natural here Josh and read it damn near as is and we'll see where we can go with this one it's a video game related story and here's what she says today is the day for the release of Tom a dachi life Tom a gotchy okay I got a D yes it's Tom a dachi story I don't know if it's the same there's a D in here okay yeah it's a small D but it's there but it gets a job done it does yeah it says here to me Tom a dachi living the dream so is that a misprint I don't think so because must be something completely different than little Patsy's to carry around in your pocket with a little screen yeah those are Tom a gotchies this must be something different stupid I got excited for a second so there are are there any of us that are have been awaiting the release of this video game or none of us know what this is I have no idea what it is okay Tom a dachi life is the name of the game living the dream this story talks about the creators of the game this and that and it it goes into Jesus it took nine years to develop this game the director of the game is a guy named Takahashi and he confesses here in the story that there was a big debate among the creators about whether the main character in the video game should be able to fart or not now I looked at a still photograph of the game and to me looks kind of like that Sims set up it's just regular little characters I mean they're they're they're they're obscure looking they have giant heads and tiny little bodies but it looks like you're just controlling their their lives intermediate Jesus said it's a simulation game like Sims like you said you make anybody you want and just let them live their life so it sounds very similar the description sounds that way I'm just trying to live my life that's it they debated whether their characters or the main character one of the other should be able to fart and so this article turns into a fart related discussion according to this person who worked on the game when they were playing around with the idea of characters being able to fart some thought it was funny others thought it was vulgar they became obsessed over getting the fart sound so they said yes we're going to allow the characters to fart then they became obsessed over getting the fart sound just right that's my favorite part because we've been in that situation around here putting some recorded audio together and you think okay I think if we move that fart like 50 milliseconds this way it's gonna be funnier and I think we can sweeten that up a little you obsess over things like that let's put some reverb on or something yes something where it's like a scientific study or whatever we're working on yeah you used to be I don't know if you've gotten any better at this but you used to be a sick sick person sick with perfectionism I still I'll save that stuff for home because I know it drives you guys nuts that and I wear my headphones a lot more around here cuz like I could I worry about that with you guys like is that annoying is that distracting cuz I'm going over the same thing over and over when we were younger and you would obsess over the tiniest little edit like when we used to create Jesse let's just use the Jesse the body Ventura gimmicks that we used to do here all the time you would play around and edit so obsessively over the tiniest little noises that there were days that I fantasize about cutting your head off I laid off a little bit because I'll I'll think why that's so much better than the way it was and I'll play it for my wife and be like what do you think and she's like I I can't tell the girls one day Josh where you're so excited to show I have Ashley and I listen to a clip as a deon Sanders clip you're like what there's this new tool that it instantly fixes the audio where it uses taking like 40 minutes to do and you're like okay so here's the original clip and you played it and I go okay and then here's the second clip you played again I didn't notice a difference I noticed Josh I appreciate it but not that happens all the time with my wife I'm like are you can I just spent like two hours changing that you can't tell it all I think I know why Josh at least for me is I grew up in the era of downloading crappy mp3 boot legs you know so that's like the music I would listen to it be some low quality Eminem song off Napster and that I just got used to it you know I think that might be the reason why you have a record play in my car I gotta have the vinyl analog sound when we were younger and we would sit in this studio for hours while you obsessed over the stupidest tiniest little sound I would get home you know an hour and a half later than I expected and my wife at the time would say well I thought you're gonna be home at noon and I would say well that was my plan until it took Josh an hour and a half to edit audio of Jesse Ventura eating a popsicle and that's why I love this story because I understand that obsession over something so dumb as to make sure the fart sounds just right so yeah that's what we were going with this there's a new video game called the Tom a Tom a dachi bukkaki I don't know what the hell it's the characters in the game are able to fart they obsessed over the sound of the fart they wanted to make it perfect now you wouldn't happen to have what they settled on do you yes you do this is the fart sound that they settled on after after years of of obsessing and debating correct you see I would have cut their head off that's it that's ridiculous that that's it took them that long to come up with that yeah I mean it's good I like the little music I like it because they're tiny little characters it sounds like a tiny little fart I did try and make it more prominent like to sound course you better just in case people are in their car listening and then I thought I should leave it alone since this is an example of how they got it sometimes that's the wrong clip one more time I want to play it again just so you can do that laugh now I wonder did they use a real fart it doesn't indicate here in the story it says that the dude who was in charge of the fart noise there were many who contributed but there was one dude who was the overall boss of video game fart noises the farts are right he's a fartist I think he was accused they said hey man that sounds way too real were you walking around the building farting in the microphones to try to get I thought they did remember we used to have a sound or a CD that had a bunch of sound effects on there's a ton of farts yes and it was like they just put it up put a microphone next to your butt this guy you think he was farting on microphone probably and they probably just took pieces of different of you know different audio of different farts and pieced it together for the perfect part so stupid I mean but it does it sounds good it sounds perfect for this the game if you've I had the luxury of looking ahead of time and seeing the characters and it is fitting for the character I'll give them that I have played one video game in my lifetime I wonder if you gamer dorks who's we got a couple of them here I wonder if you can help me or answer this little trivia question I did buy a video game in the early 90s where the characters farted and it was like their their their ultimate weapon was too far that's funny do you can you tell me no never heard of a hint is the early 90s huh I'll give you another hint last year's state fair oh is it the Beavis and Butthead game yes oh da and the state fair references our t-shirts last year there's a word our t-shirts last year not predicted depicted depicted our t-shirt our state fair t-shirts last year thank you Josh depicted Josh and I as Beavis and Butthead big Al and I big Al and I went out and we split the cost of the Beavis and Butthead video game in the early 90s and I think we only spent 20 minutes on it because it was so freaking stupid it was a horrible game absolutely one of the dumbest things I've ever seen but those are the best kind of games though no this was one of the best this was the era video games where these took popular things from pop culture and just slapped a game together and like oh I love Beavis and Butthead I'll go by that game right the Simpsons one was supposed to be really good the Simpsons arcade game was really good the Simpsons console games for garbage I like the what all I remember all I remember is that Beavis and Butthead walked down the sidewalk and farted on people mm-hmm I was I kept waiting for some grand show down with mr. Anderson or something it never happened they just walked around farting on each other it was horrible you guys sorry go ahead do you guys remember when I think it was the Burger King they would they like had their own video games no yeah and so like you could I can't I believe they came with the kid meals for a while but those were I was thinking about those the other day and that made me remember them those were the honest games I've ever given it away for free if you brought a butter I'm pretty sure it was I can't remember how we got our hands on I would assume it to be so fun I would assume it to be garbage if it was given away for free with fries and a burger I know there's people that have definitely played those games in the listening audience we need to talk about it and it was those based on the restaurant yeah you had something or another Josh yeah I was gonna say if we were ever to need a perfect video game fart all we need to do is address your butt because you know I've complimented you many times when everybody leaves and it's just you and me in here they're perfect at times that's despicable where I noticed like that is the definition of what a fart should be air is just tainted no see that's the that's what you don't understand used to be we've made we've you know this you just forgetting it's one of it's one of the things that makes me so special and so incredible my sh don't stink oh I'm not talking about it just smelling bad I'm talking about how there's like no matter what there's particles of some sort don't get on my face about permanent pink eye double barrel and then I come in here the next day you know a lot of people will say what do you think you should don't stink no it doesn't that is pretty impressive but yeah thank you Ashley do you like take vitamin I don't know why I am built so perfectly but I am and here's what you miss like Josh was saying it's after you two schmoes leave where I cut loose when it's just cubby and I cuz he's polite after every single one of them too I go like this I go haha you have to yeah because it's hilarious they're perfect sports on the 93 eggs half-assed morning show as Martin lofts one a shallow center Raphael it comes in he's got it and this one is over the twins win the series but deny the sweep as the red socks win the finale 9 to 5 alright so it's not all sunshine

on and but it's a naked pool party Ashley oh no yeah gosh what am I gonna do I already said I was gonna go so I'll have to you're gonna go commit it yeah if I can leave my shirt on in the pool I know and no if long as everybody agrees as a group that nobody can make fun of me when I plug my nose when I jump in so I was weak and establish those two rules either got like that sunscreen on your nose like you see a kid have my water way yeah if one of the naked college girls or naked Ashley or one of the naked members of the Minnesota twins splashes you while you're in the pool you can't say I'll we owe me what if there's chlorine in there you can't say I didn't know Ashley's gonna be naked I'm out well that's where your goggles are for Josh in case you get chlorine splashed on you oh yeah I'll be wearing swim goggles I forgot the ones with the nose we're kind of locked into a jock sniffer's purgatory here aren't we we got two clubs in town who have been invited to participate in the

has the ballistics to back that up what police described as play fighting ended with a 16-year-old boy facing charges and a 15-year-old accidentally shot in the chest according to police the suspect and victim were hanging out in a Honda two other people were in there when the suspect decided it was a great idea to point a handgun at his friend the victim apparently less enthusiastic about this game tried to push the gun away during this brilliant round of play the gun went off and the victim got shot right out of the passenger seat falling to the ground dang the older teen is now facing charges of attempted manslaughter and possession of a fire arm couple of bright young men then no doubt yeah you know you don't not supposed to play with those things from what I understand no they can lead to some ouchy consequences thankfully this kid survived just biking shot in the chest at point blank range you're never ever ever ever ever aim a gun at somebody else it doesn't matter if it's loaded or not loaded cops always say they don't catch the smart ones which explains how they caught this gal 25-year-old Caitlin Harmon is behind bars after recording herself bragging about slipping the grip of law enforcement in the aftermath of hitting people with her car the incident occurred in a hobby lobby parking lot oh hobby lobby there the overconfident Wisconsinite violently introduced her Toyota Camry to a 79-year-old man who was standing near his own vehicle after that Harmon used her car to run down a 60-year-old woman as well she's just randomly running over folks in the parking lot yeah just earning some points police issued an alert to surrounding law enforcement agencies to be on the lookout for the Camry but all the while Harmon was still close by instead of leaving the area entirely she drove about 850 feet to the nearby lot behind a Panera bread then she posted a confession on Facebook containing two images of the damages to her Camry while brandishing a large kitchen knife and coating police hey they still haven't found me I guess I outsmarted the cops God always wins what look at this huge knife I have outside this Panera bread she's counting God as sort of one of her teammates on her side God always yeah or maybe she's saying she's God all right she mentioned the exact location which Panera bread she was at someone should call the cops on me she said minutes after the video was posted someone did call the cops on her she got out of her car and attacked a Hyundai Tucson with a large bush butcher knife when the driver exited his vehicle a physical struggle ensued the man sustained several lacerations to his hands but was able to disarm her and restrain her until police arrived the violence appeared totally random as no prior connection existed between Harman and the victims and when an officer asked her why the woman said I just went rogue yeah she snapped they're never gonna catch her so it wasn't just me and my friends that are that we'll do that when you're like driving down the road obviously in a joking way be like somebody's crossing the street you're like oh five points that's been going on since the horse and carriage days great great great great great great grandparents were doing that yes they were cops always say they don't catch the smart ones which explains how they caught this guy a criminal mastermind whose resume apparently didn't include how to walk on snow without autographing your getaway officers in Ohio have released more details from a case earlier this year where they captured a theft suspect with an assist from mother nature thanks to record breaking snow in the area police say a man broke into a business and stole some money as everyone hunkered down for the snowstorm he left behind some size 10 evidence footprints in the freshly fallen snow which led cops directly to him police quite easily tracked the suspects footprints in the snow to a hotel and made that arrest yeah that's how one of my buddies got busted for a silly crime back when we were kids his boot steps he never thought that they could track his his footsteps it actually was kind of impressive it wasn't in the snow it was he went off sneaking around burglarizing some houses and they were able to track his footsteps footsteps just because it rained the night of I was not track his tennis shoe treads in the rain soaked grass I was thought like in movies and I'm sure it's based on real life but where they had trackers hunters or trackers who could just see the smallest detail that was disturbed and be able to follow a person I'm not that observant I wish I was that's a cool trick in a similar bus last week the Seattle Department and Department of Court Seattle Police Department sorry and a Department of Corrections Officer arrested a 20 year old man for violating his probation and having multiple guns in a truly generous twist he made their job incredibly easy perhaps without even realizing it he was very considerate either forgetting or oblivious to the fact the ankle monitor he was wearing told cops exactly where he was did he not understand what that monitor was doing I don't know if he maybe thought it was just one of those that can tell if you're drunk or he just so used to having it on he forgot SPD said on Friday about 10 40 p.m. patrol officers working with the DOC searched for an individual they knew to be on active supervision for multiple crimes including armed robbery they say the man was located in a car with three others after tracking him via his ankle monitoring device to a parking lot police found the suspect in his driver seat when searching that they recovered three handguns and cannabis parafinal well damn can't have any of that he really did understand what that monitor was a never catch me I'm just gonna drive away they're just following the flashing red bleep or blip on the screen there if you're gonna attach it to my body I'm gonna want to know everything there is to know about it no matter what it is yeah he didn't get it heads up but wizards will hear two warning sign sirens today as part of the annual statewide drill for severe weather awareness week okay guys let's do a lot tornado siren the drills are scheduled for 1 45 p.m. and 6 45 p.m. today during both sirens will sound to simulate a tornado warning and the National Weather Service will be posting updates on social media throughout those tests I'm sorry you said 1 45 and when 6 45 great great great fantastic it's just you know my son's bedtime it's great well those are nap times love it yep both of them are gonna f my day up in real in wait you know maybe we could get them to change the times for you think I'll talk to somebody yeah just text the weather service and see if they can make a change at least in your county yeah in real severe weather sirens actually sound for about three minutes they rarely run for the full duration of a warning activation varies by county with some only using sirens for tornadoes others include it for severe thunderstorms with winds of 70 to 80 miles per hour or higher while tornado season peaks between May and August they have been recorded as early as March and as late as December earlier this week of course southern Minnesota saw at least three as storms move through the state Minnesota averages about 46 twisters per year let me ask you this Josh in your neighborhood when you were growing up to the tornado siren go off at six o'clock every evening no it was like 1 p.m. the first Wednesday of the month and that and outside of it there was a storm what the heck did you have going on can anyone else relate to this when I was a kid my hometown would sound the siren at six o'clock every day every night were they really nervous that it wasn't gonna work no it had nothing to do with tornadoes it was just there they would run it to alert you that it was six o'clock I guess that would probably be useful if you want like the kids to come home for dinner that's exactly what it was for I believe so everyone it mean because this is I mean I know I'm sounding like I'm 1,520 years old but not everyone well no one was walking around with cell phones very few of us wore watches and I think it was exactly designed so if you're out f-ing around you knew well six o'clock I got 20 minutes to get there or an hour to get there let me check the tax machine that's what my hometown did yeah no we never I hadn't heard of that before by the way 6 p.m. who eats dinner that way it's way too late three hours after dinner we were like a 4 30 p.m. type of family it was awesome we were a 6 p.m. and it was like if you weren't there you were in big trouble and you weren't eating if you weren't on time here are the some tell wow this is great a lot of people texted in saying my hometown still does it Ocio did it when I was growing up yeah yeah this and that and the other thing yeah Mazeppa does that every day at 6 Peppin Wisconsin Eden Valley they ring theirs at 5 o'clock yeah cheese we are getting so many text messages about this and Excelsior has a daily siren Excelsior you never heard yeah that was our thing North St. Paul that place sucks right Ashley yeah totally but we lived right like the fire station was at the top of our our street growing up so that thing was so loud if they were doing that every day I don't know if I'd still be here Long Lake Shasago Lindstrom hangover feel like there should be a rap beat behind that a driver was arrested yesterday morning after crashing into a care facility in Brooklyn Park anybody say anything about Brooklyn Park yet I haven't seen it just yet I'll holler at you if I do winstead well the sirens there were about somebody a star crappies somebody crashing into that facility forcing residents to evacuate the old folks home well they said a care facility that's an old folks home well there's it's not necessarily an old folks home I was there's like a few if somebody needs extra care but I assumed I'm being combative for no reason yeah that's your bit yeah and I understand so I guess I just didn't say because it didn't say proving once again that nothing good happens after midnight Brooklyn Park police say the vehicle ran off the road and into the bedroom of the home about 3 a.m. the crash tore a large hole into the building and also caused a gas leak forcing all residents in the facility to evacuate one resident and the driver of the vehicle were each treated to my for minor injuries the driver was arrested if that sounds like a rough wake wake up call a similar early morning crash in another Minnesota city shows it wasn't an isolated jolt a minivan driver made an uninvited early morning entrance into a home last month injuring two people who had been sleeping inside Rochester police said they responded to a reported crash at 6 30 a.m. Friday the 20th and found a minivan had traded the driveway for a direct deposit right into the house inside two people have been sleeping when the crash cut short their night's sleep both were injured and taken to the hospital as a precaution they're going to be okay thought he said the driver of the minivan was the sole occupant and is suspected of drunk drive wrong in this case crashing crashing Jerry West the logo premieres today on Prime Video a documentary about NBA legend Jerry West who Randy Shaver admitted he would kiss on the lips the man who's open mouth oh I didn't even catch the open yes years ago we asked him the strangest question we probably had asked him up to that point in our relationship together we said which athlete would you be willing to open mouth French kiss and he said Jerry West he didn't need time to think about it either but it was immediate were you listening at the time or something I was here I worked here oh no this is 20 years ago oh when he said that but I thought maybe wow that'd be interesting if you were listening he well he repeated it a couple years oh I'm sure he had yeah we brought it up so yeah that's why Jerry West his silhouette became the NBA logo Anya Taylor hubba hubba joy 30 today Ralphie from a Christmas story she's a little young for you don't you think Josh at 30 yeah yeah definitely I wouldn't be dating her but I think I can comment out for humor of relatively innocent hubba hubba and a 30 year old woman talking about naked college girls a few minutes ago that but that's me I was just I was just trying to bust your balls a little bit trying to make you a little bit uncomfortable yeah yeah dominated Josh Ralphie in a Christmas story whose aesthetics are just not important he's a 55 year old man but I know him as a young individual Peter Billingsley 55 you just don't strike me as the type to be luring after 30 year old women I wasn't luring whatsoever it was more of a lust gonna give him a tummy ache or something Martin Lawrence is 61 and very attractive I just watched a little bit of Blue Streak last night oh great movie yeah yeah blue streak I'm gonna try and I'm gonna try and help myself out by commenting now on everybody's appearance there you go my strategy soul asylums David Perner gorgeous at 62 you'd hit Dave for the song misery yes he's earned my sexual services here we go here we go again with misery today Bill Belichick turned 74 God and this afternoon as much younger girlfriend gets her braces off before soccer practice yeah you you should feel as long as Bill Belichick's doing what he's doing you shouldn't feel uncomfortable at all about the way you talk about younger women Jesus buddy that you know I never I always knew what he's got going on with icky but I never knew his actual age that's the same age as my dad if he oh god and his girlfriend younger than you oh my god and Karim Abdul Haba Haba Jabal 79 happy birthday to the wonderfully silly Avery turning the big o9 today from robot leg Jesus and that's 93 X news Randy Shaver and Brad Ryder on the half-assed morning show felt like you guys were waiting around for the playoffs did it feel like that for a lot of this this season or what would how did that kind of progress over the course of the year I mean yeah it felt like that at times like we was just trying to you know get through the season to get to the playoffs but we here now and all the other excuses are out the window so it's time all right I saw an article or two in the last couple of the days where our guy a1 from day one Anthony Edwards he's talking about he insinuated or maybe he directly said it right there but the articles that I read he insinuated that the wolves may have gotten a little bored during the regular season hey hey aunt you're far from alone with that bro yeah fans feel that boredom to nobody's mad at you for that I love the NBA but at times it can be so boring it'll make you puke Randy Shaver Brad Ryder how are you good but well last I checked fans were paying full price and they weren't bored during the regular season so I'm sorry no I'm just saying it the counter to that is I mean yes fans don't want to hear that oh it doesn't bother me at all because I get bored too yeah but what he's saying is your pain oh but what what Brad is saying is if you're paying full price just sit at the arena I don't want to see bored I mean screw that I don't want to see that yeah I'm paying thousands of dollars for season ticket that's the last thing I want to hear out of your star player I think he may think it he may think it it may be true that's fine but you don't need to say that I mean good grief yet the things that come out of his mouth sometimes he's just not mature I get your point I get your point but it's a long friggin season well sure it is but no no I get it you don't you don't have to explain it again yes what he said might anger some people don't anger me but I get I get your point I do oh because it can be terribly boring that's kind of what we do especially hockey fans and HL fans and NBA fans because the season is so frigging long and and also what you're doing by saying that you better follow through now and get at least as far as you got last year Brad you're awfully affected by this I agree I agree with Brad okay okay okay now I'm mad too I'm with you I totally agree I mean if you're gonna sit there and say that you were bored during the regular season and you know that implies that you didn't give your best efforts well I mean what are we supposed to think about a team right now I saw an article today about Finch talking about flipping this switch do well I mean come on man do you think Oklahoma City has to flip a switch yeah they don't flip a switch ahead of you that there's five teams ahead of you that apparently apparently took a regular season a little bit more seriously than you yeah the not the nuggets of 112 in a row they're clearly not bored I'm not flipping a switch yeah exactly that's just that's just crap you guys pretty pumped about the playoffs I just don't like that attitude you know I just think that that I think the fans deserve better than that yeah I do I think the fans deserve better than that and I also think and kind of needs the Brad mentioned maturity he needs kind of develop that killer mindset if he's truly gonna be you know like a Kobe Bryant type like a Durant type because Kobe never took nights off he never you know coasted he never was bored he wanted to win every single game it didn't matter if it was the playoffs or you know in Cleveland in mid-February it's competitor mm-hmm competitors MJ MJ Michael Johnson the sprinter very fast I hear you all right well you guys are kind of mad I get it I'm not mad I just think that that's I think it's insulting to say that I get it the loser's mentality I agree the NBA season is long we all get that right but the fans deserve better than that and you know if you think for one second that you can just sit there and all of a sudden flip a switch and now you're the great basketball team that ain't gonna happen either right he's not gonna happen let me see if they'll get even let's look baseball seasons long but do you think the twins are sitting back waiting for the playoffs right now no they're they're far enough ahead that they could just start resting guys for the playoffs like if the season ended today right that's right yeah if the season ended today the twins would still be the American League's number one team I ended today let's all one listener says you know aunt should probably consult with with what's his name again the quarterback that's no longer gonna be in town here JJ Anthony should talk to JJ McCarthy to get that killer mentality or let's see if you guys can get even more mad how do you respond to a couple of text messages here that say and just being real I'd be a one from day one he's just being real skis nothing nothing you know what I'm kind of tired of the whole thing actually yeah what I'm so yeah this whole amp thing and how you know you know what go out and in and get to the Western final again you know instead of talking crap just go do it okay all right how about the results from the NBA play-in games from last night I'm not surprised you're not surprised by the results not surprised by Golden State they've got that winners mentality is that right and Curry is I don't think he's a hundred percent healthy by any stretch but he he poured in 35 last night the Clippers are they gave away almost the the best parts of their team during the regular season they traded hardened they traded the center you know I can't even believe that they made the playoffs let alone participate or not playoffs but play in God I hate the Golden State Warriors and the LA I know I know you do and so it was unwatchable for me last night but it says here Golden State defeated the Clippers so the Clippers season is over what else the 76ers beat Orlando that sets up for a Philly Boston series someone's gonna get their ass kicked or let her that Orlando team I just they've got so much talent and they just cannot get themselves right and I know they had some injuries during the year but so did Philly Philly one last night without and beat and Max and beat sucks come on what do you mean Max he was on the floor last night put Max he played oh did he play last yeah okay well I'm mad okay Orlando and be didn't I'm sorry you're right Max he did play last Orlando now play Charlotte for the eight seed tomorrow night Phoenix plays Golden State for the eight seed tomorrow night that'll be a good game here's a text from Stillers fan Jesus you guys think you're mad now take a look at the start times of some of these nuggets wolves oh yeah sure we knew that was coming though oh yeah blows every time though yeah Lamello ball was fined $3,500 oh that's nothing oh hell no no Jesus that's like asking me for what he did that's nothing it's like asking one of us for five bucks yeah Lamello ball was fined $3,500 for making unnecessary and reckless contact with BAM adabio of the Miami Heat during their game a couple of nights ago you probably saw the video of BAM adabio is falling backwards and Lamello ball is on the floor and it appeared that Lamello ball grabbed one of his feet and threw it out from under him and he lands on his ass and this and that yeah Lamello made quite an impact in this ball game so he dumps what a lot of folks believe to be a cheap shot on BAM adabio and then he gets fined another $25,000 for cursing his ass off in a TV interview after the game was over this guy's quite a character I I don't think that was his intention as they were falling down that he was going to somehow hurt adabio but it was intentional the way he grabbed his ankle and pulled it out from underneath him did I say $3,500 of course that's ridiculous I meant $35,000 even that's even that's of course it is yeah that's nothing that's that's what's going on with Lamello ball back to that Denver Minnesota series did you see the potential date for game seven uh day the date what did you say yeah may second may second yep no I'm just saying now we're getting to the point where we're taking three days between games oh yeah it's all it's yeah that's almost two weeks it's over two weeks to play a seven game series yeah oh my god yeah so game one will be on the 18th and a potential game seven would be two weeks later oh my god it's just the worst why do I follow this stuff that is so freaking stupid well think about it this way we can watch the wolves in the finals on our fourth of july booze cruise that would be fun that would be enjoyable that would add a little pep to everybody's step I think uh hand flips the switch yeah that is hilarious sorry I'm having trouble keeping track of dates I didn't understand the significance of May second until you you reminded me that seems like a long ways from now oh it's a lot no kidding until you reminded me that game one is on the 18th of April yeah son of a bitch that is so over the top which which also begs for the best of three or best of five to start the NBA playoffs don't even bring it up randy because we all know it's never gonna happen we do this every year we do this every year we like five we talk about shortening the regular season and the NHL and the NBA down to 50 games we talk about first rounds being three game or five game series we torture ourselves I don't get me wrong I lost after such a thing but we're only torturing ourselves right you know that right no you're right now I'm gonna get mad when I read this the five active NBA players with the most playoff wins yet they're still chasing their first NBA title I'm gonna get mad because four of the five players are pretty gross and stupid so you think you can name the five active NBA players with the most playoff wins yet they still haven't won dick well no good guess because he's terrible and I don't like him but no Joelle m beat is not on this list I'll give you a one of them played on television last night and he's gross and he's stupid one of them played in that Philadelphia verse who did Philadelphia play last night Orlando Orlando one of them played in that game Paul George Paul George yeah has won 53 playoff games and still hasn't won dick the next guy on the list isn't gross or stupid in my opinion he's a member of the Los Angeles Lakers and he's hurt a lot probably a tough question with the Lakers because they all hurt well baby nuts his last name is comes off very intelligent scholarly hmm sort of his last name screams intelligence it's a type of car a type of car type of car oh yes it is it is a small small vehicle you may have a phone or a stove yeah I don't know what Marcus smart Marcus smart okay 54 wins but he's never won at all the rest are really gross Brad should get number three on the list he's won 63 playoff games Jimmy Butler Jimmy Butler uh this next character's won 64 playoff games he's great and then he's terrible they're just absolutely unwatchable and then he's great again West Westbrook Russell Westbrook and number one this guy's won 90 playoff games James Harden that's right hmm who I mean I need some tums just looking at James Harden because my stomach just becomes uncomfortable just looking at the man if Chris Paul was still playing an actor he would be on that list too yes he yeah he never won a title did he he's a call no never won a title hmm Aja Wilson four-time WNBA MVP signed a new three-year contract to return to the Las Vegas aces now the reason that's significant is she's signed a supermax deal worth five million dollars and it's all fully guaranteed this is the largest deal in WNBA history for now by comparison she made $200,000 last year the increase in salaries they say here is thanks to the new collective bargaining agreement that the WNBA came up with can they really afford deals like this are they doing that well I ask a question well they've expanded again uh I think that they are all right well great great that's great to know I just I got a little nervous when I read that I thought oh man I think they're still subsidized by the NBA are they not yeah they are well that helps yeah yeah we will I mean we'll find out over the next few years whether they can afford that or not I mean hopefully the TV ratings continue to climb and advertising dollars continue to climb all right so it can't all be roses and bj's every night for the twins they're human after all they went out and got their asses whooped by the boston red sox yesterday the final was nine to five and it wasn't even really that close but you know what forget it move on they won another series once in a while a game gets away from you I think the only disappointing thing about well there's a couple disappointing things about yesterday but simian woods richardson is struggling right now of the four guy five guys in the rotation he's the one guy right now that still is trying to find his way um and you know if he can get himself straightened out that would really put this team in a much better position to be consistent all the way through right I mean yeah he's the one guy right now that he hasn't won a game he's zero and three and he got and some bad defense behind him last night too didn't help but so far though I mean you're right if you look at the big picture right now for the twins big picture cubby hey if if the season were to end today they would be they would be on top there's gonna come a time where you're gonna have to uh you're gonna have to put that bit on the shelf I love that maybe not though as long as you're in the playoff picture that's playoffs yes jim playoffs the twin star to series you got a day off today I bet that feels finally yeah yeah I was gonna say they played 15 days in a row something like a son of a bitch they deserve a day off they start their next series is at home against the sincin at a reds on may 2nd no it's actually tomorrow it's a tomorrow night still april and tomorrow tomorrow's that night where everybody who got home opener tickets uh gets to go for free so there could be a pretty big crowd it's tomorrow two dollar beers yep they're doing the two dollar beer uh happy hour again thing too it's a friday night thing friday and saturday's friday and saturday uh this must have been terrifying the chicago white socks national antham singer collapsed on the field last night while he was a singing oh boy scary jerald chaney is the guy's name he's been singing the anthem at socks games for years he experienced what they're calling here a medical emergency while he was singing lift every voice and sing as part of the white socks jackie robinson day celebration last night he paused twice during the song and then he went down emt's came out to help the guy they say he was alert when they transported him to the hospital damn man wow that must have been horrifying to see in person right they say here when he's not singing his ass off at ballgames he's a teacher hmm so he's got money he's rolling in it yeah i sure hope he's feeling better because that is scary that is the guy just went down like a sack of beans right there at the houston uh houston astros picture tatsuya am i if i i may be way off with that yep i am way off no you're not oh good yeah he's a kid who's come on over here from japan to play pro ball for the houston astros like i said he's a starting pitcher he's found himself on the injured list after just three starts they're calling it arm fatigue yeah and save your easy masturbation jokes for now because we got real problems here this am i kid has upped and blamed america bread is jacking off no he can't blame me he's blamed america for his arm issues jesus wait till kid rock hears about this amai says he's having trouble acclimating to his new american lifestyle he's partying his balls off well that's not what he means by that i'd love if that was the answer yeah he's at the strip club every night just can't get enough yeah no he says uh baseball and outside of baseball everything is so different that's the reason for my arm fatigue he says to travel is different the timing is different when players eat dinner well just eat it sooner or later whatever you want you know he thought it would be the same as in japan but it's different here so how that directly affects his arm i don't know but that's where he's going with it i think it's always fun when people find creative excuses for stuff yeah there's a little bit of respect oh america i'd love to hear the story behind that what happened there that is something my eating habits changed so my arm hurts yeah i can see the travel thing he's not used to it because it's like the size of california yeah he's getting his ass whooped on those airplanes yeah i'm sure of that yeah but he talked about how in japan we would eat dinner at a restaurant uh in majorly baseball we eat right there at the ballpark okay it's radically changed his schedule and whatever speaking of change this could change everything as far as the national league standings go wwe rassler dan hausen did we mention this or is this brand new it was new to me i guess i don't remember this wwe rassler dan hausen has apparently lifted the curse that's currently hanging over the new york met that's so funny i love dan i wasn't so much dan hausen if you don't know him he is known for cursing fellow wrestlers and anyone really who disrespects him but he'll also

on the las vegas sphere he wants his face on all the trucks that wwe drives around in on a side note i guess one of dan hausen's initial demands when he was asked to sign a deal with the wwe was that he wanted to have his own blimp which of course that you would call that that may that would be a blimp hausen and people who are supporters of dan hausen like me we call ourselves fan houses unite

But we don't, we don't really have a staff here anymore, so they'll grab it. I don't know where the mail actually ends up before it goes to the mailbox. There must be some place. Randy mentioned a few days ago that he's put something in the U.S. mail for us. Well, it's for you. For me. I'm very excited about it. Now I know it's something NBA related. Yes. Okay. Sorry. Yeah, it's a slow process around here. Let's hope it gets there before the end of the wall. Before May 2. Do you want to give me any kind of a hint? Nope. You don't? No. No. No. Well, that's all very exciting. Something NBA related that would fit in a mail slot. So maybe do you have your ticket stubs from the very first Timberwolves game and you'd like to give them to him? No. Okay. Don't guess. No, I won't. I won't. I won't spoil it. I must have come kind of close right there because now he doesn't want us to guess anymore. Sorry, I'm just kind of, I'm excited about it, Randy Schafer. Okay. I mean, you don't... Can't be anything of value or you wouldn't have put it in the mail. No value. Or given it away. Well, we will wait and see. We will wait and see. Why don't we just go ahead, get ourselves into the proper mindset for a Minnesota Wild Update brought to you by Luther Kea of Bloomington. State of Hockey. God dang. And of course, our Minnesota Wild Update involves a conversation on the telephone with Marcus Housen. Hey, Marcus Spilino. How are we doing? We're good. How are you, dude? Awesome. Awesome. Ready to rock. You're all wrapped up. Day to day. Starting to play off. Sort of pumped up. You're all wrapped up with the regular season. Yep. There are some other unlucky clubs who are still playing tonight. I know. It's actually kind of crazy. Actually, I got back that coming up. It's still season finish. They have to have a couple of days as a buffer before Saturday. So, nice to just get a couple of practices in and get going. I feel bad for the guys that still got to play. Especially, there's nothing worse than when you're out of the playoffs. Playing out the string. Yeah. You might not give your best effort in that situation. Yeah. Luckily, we haven't had to do that too many times here over the past couple of years. So, it's brutal. I've been a part of it in Buffalo. It's just like, I don't know. I feel like an inner squad game. Like a little training camp scrimmage. That's why it's nice to make it to the postseason. Yeah. You might even have a few beers before that last game if you're out to play. Yeah. I mean, it's nice to have some time off leading up to... We've been aggravated a little bit as fans that the NHL still has not posted any kind of schedule for your series with the Dallas Stars. We all know you're playing Dallas, but they have to wait until everything's done with. Can you give us a sneak peek? Do you have any idea when you guys will be playing Dallas in game one? I mean, I know it's Saturday. We're in the same boat as everyone else. We don't really know what time it is. I think we're playing an afternoon game on Saturday, which sounds nice, because we have all those nine o'clock fuck drops in the past that are just brutal. But for the most part, I think it's a Saturday afternoon game. Okay. Thank you for that. And what time in the afternoon. I have no idea. But we're just... We're the dark just like everyone else. It's crazy. I have to see they gotta wait for certain teams to finish up and maybe just a season to finish up tonight. But no, I never seen it this kind of last minute when the times are kind of announced. So it's crazy. But we're headed to Dallas today. So we'll be ready to go practice day tomorrow. And no matter what time we play Saturday, our guys will be ready. Well, we appreciate that little sneak peek because we're anxious about it. And you said earlier this year, maybe it was last year, you said because, I mean, here's the brutal truth is you are going to get these nine o'clock games from now on. You're getting lucky with game one, but you are going to get those Tuesday, Thursday night games at 9 15. It sucks for you. It sucks for the fans. But in this case, at least, you get a break. We've been, we've been bitching about that. We hate those late. You said earlier this season or last season, you would prefer if every game started at noon. Yeah, I mean, I don't know if that's just the older guy and me, but where you want to get back and enjoy your, enjoy your dinner and all that stuff after a nice win. But no, I think just, you know, like it does at the end of the day, it doesn't matter. We play the nine o'clock games will be you got to switch the body clock a little bit or just do things a little bit later in the day. But you know, it just, it's a long, it's a, it's a late night. I think, I think we had a game, game one in Dallas, couple of years back, and I think it was a late start. And I think we got out of the rink at 145 am because we went to double overtime. Yeah. So it was one of those things where you're like, you're cutting into your steak at 2am. And you're like, this is weird because we're staying up late and we're all sober. So it's just like, it doesn't. It's one of those things. It's like, what are we doing right now? And you wake up next day, even like, like you do have a hangover, like it's not, it was just like you're groggy the next day, but hey, it is what it is. Everyone's going through it. So I think that's just gonna suck it up. But that's the one thing I remember in Dallas. We did that and we went to double overtime and that was not ideal. That sucks. Yeah. Oh, damn. Hey, well, we should congratulate you, Marcus. You have been named a recipient, the recipient of well, you've won one award and you're up for another, correct me if I'm wrong, humanitarian related awards. The Tom Curvers award is you. Yeah, is it you want? You're the guy. And you are up for the King Clancy. Is that all accurate? Yeah, that's right. I think you get nominated by the your teammates and the organization to for the humanitarian award, the Tom Curvers award and that kind of nominate you into the running for the King Clancy trophy. Yeah, it's a huge honor. I mean, first of all, to have the name Tom Curvers attached to it was an honor itself. I got to know Tom Curvers pretty good when he was here for a short time, unfortunately, but he was our assistant general manager at the time. And just a great, great guy. He actually played with my dad in Buffalo and and just hit it off with him really. He was just a guy that around the rink you could talk to and he would come up to you and ask how you're feeling and just kind of get the lay of the land and loved, loved the team stuff, building the team and getting guys close to each other. And, um, honestly, unfortunately, I had a short about with the cancer and, you know, just to be honored with his, you know, memory. It's really cool to be a part of that. And it gets into our family really well and he's got a great family. So it was, uh, it was honored to get the award with his three kids there the night of the game and definitely a special thing. But, um, no, I didn't then again, just to just to be looked at in the community as someone that's helping out and, and, and, you know, with I think what we did this year with the flino face off had a lot to do with it. Right. So, um, I owe a lot to my brother, too. I think it could probably be a shared award, but uh, just again, I'm very honored to be looked at as that, uh, as that humanitarian award for, for my teammates. And, um, you know, we love doing stuff in this, in this great community with our, with our great fans. So it's been great. You're a damn nice man. And a few people texted in that say that they were at the rank the other night when you got the award says right here, a fierce competitor on the ice. Marcus is also a kind, compassionate and enthusiastic person in his everyday life. That's what they say about you right here, Marcus. That's very nice. But don't tell the talus stars that right? No, no, there'll be none of that. Yeah. Not that nice, compassionate on the ice for sure. As far as the stars have to know, you're a, you're a raving lunatic. But that all is pretty cool. And, and of course, you know, you have a personal connection with your mother's cancer foundation. And tell folks a little bit more about that. If you don't mind. Yeah, you know, it's just, uh, we have, um, my mom passed away a long time ago from, uh, breast cancer. And, and, um, we started the chance trial foundation, um, in her memory to carry her legacy forward. And the do the good that she always did kind of in when she was, uh, when my dad was playing, she volunteered her time a lot, meals on wheels, things like that, that she, uh, she was just a special person that would, uh, would give a lot of her time and, and, uh, help others in need. And, um, that rubbed off on us. So, um, you know, obviously we all want to fight for a cure for cancer and, and, um, you know, help do as much for cancer research. And, um, unfortunately that, that takes a lot of money, but you know, there's a lot of great people in this world that come together for fundraising. And, um, we, we've seen the firsthand now with the Janice Real Foundation and, and, um, things like the V foundation too, that we've got, we, we became a part of this year with the fleno phase off, um, was really, was really, really special. So, um, yeah, it's a big deal for us and our family will want, we want to keep pushing this initiative of fighting the cure and, and, you know, also there's so much more that goes into cancer treatment rate. There's so much that goes into, um, people, the, the families that are going through it with their loved ones who's, who's, who's fighting the battle, um, the people that care, the caregivers that are involved in places like hospices and, and, uh, hospitals and, um, there's a lot that goes into it and, and, and money supports all that. And, um, yeah, we're, but we've been lucky to have a lot of sense of it lately. And just to see it too firsthand, um, you know, the, the reward you get from a forgiving, it's, it's been awesome. And we'll make sure that we keep, keep continuing down this path. A little something Randy Shaver might know a thing or two about. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. Just a little bit, a little bit now. It's a great, it's a great thing that you're doing, Marcus. It's, it's, uh, it's, it's all well, all, all needed, you know, from all different angles. It just doing nothing is not an option in this world. We just can't do nothing. We have to do something. So, exactly. We're wrapping with Marcus Felino here, a part of our Minnesota wild update. They got the big playoff game, playoff series beginning. This is inside information. Now don't spread it around, but Marcus thinks they're going to play Saturday afternoon. The NHL doesn't want to let us know, but Marcus let us in on the, uh, how often do you read ESPN, NHL.com, SI.com, any of those websites? How often do you read the expert predictions, whether it be before a season, during a season, after it's all wrapped up? Um, you, you, you come across some things on your social media pages. I think that's, that's more NHL.com stuff just because we, you know, on the website there, they kind of, you know, you get the writers and all that stuff that kind of relate to it. So I, I, I think more of that, the ESPN stuff and, you know, other things like I, I don't really read too much into, but, uh, hey, you're going to, I think I've already saw some things of people picking out who's the first round winners and stuff like that. And, uh, you know what, I think over my years, you, you were in just a, turn a blind eye to it and just, and just keep moving forward. There's a lot of people that we're going to see, but it's so that there's a lot of people are going to say Dallas. So, um, at the end of the day, we haven't, we haven't played the game yet. So we got to, we got to leave it on the ice. Yeah. You know, a lot of, I think from past conversations with pro athletes, a lot of them try to ignore it all together, try to ignore it all together. So I mean, I, uh, BroBible did write up their power rankings as we head into the playoffs from 16 to one, most likely to win the cup. They go, Anaheim, Ducks, LA Kings, Philadelphia Flyers, Pittsburgh, Penguins, Montreal, Canadians, the Utah mammoth, they made the tournament. Then they go, Edmonton Oilers, I'm bored with them already. Ottawa Senators, Boston Bruins, Dallas Stars. They've dropped a little bit lately in the rankings. Um, I think due to some injuries, then they go Tampa Bay Lightning, then they mentioned your hockey club, uh, Marcus right there in the fifth position as far as power rankings entering the playoffs. Buffalo Sabres, Vegas Golden Knights, Carolina Hurricanes, and it's been the same frigging write up every year, all year. If you read NHL stuff, the Colorado Avalanche hold that number one spot. Who are you rooting for? I think you all know. Definitely no one in the central division but us. But, uh, no, it's, uh, I mean, these are all like, you know, they just, they throw them on the wall. Hopefully it sticks. Hopefully it looks like, you know, someone, someone picks, uh, where they were a genius at this time of year, you know, calling it. So we're going to do our best to be the last one standing. That's all I know. Do you ever read anything about your own hockey club and just laugh your ass off because it's so wildly inaccurate? Yeah, you know, there's some things that come up, right? Like just, you know, that, uh, people that, I think most of the doubting stuff, right? Like the guys that think that, uh, we don't have this or we're not good enough in this area and stuff at that. It's, you know, they see some things all lately. Maybe their record isn't as good down the stretch, but I mean, you don't want to make excuses, but we've been knowing that we're going to be playing Dallas in the first rounds in the last two months now. So not that you take the full up the gas pedal, but there's just certain things down the, down the stretch that you, it hasn't been, you know, our best hockey, but you know, guys are, we're thinking about the bigger picture here and it's, it's, it's coming Saturday. So we're all excited. I mean, your job is kind of to beat somebody's ass right away, right? Got to set the tone. Exactly. I think, I think, I think the physicality we'll be showing game one for sure. And that will carry out throughout the series. So that's our biggest job is to, is to be a team that can wear on opponents and, and make sure that my game seven, game six, you know, it's, it's, uh, it's another favorite out there's home ice. Don't care. No, don't care. I mean, we've, we've had home ice before and then other teams have home ice. My, my, my thing has always been, you got to win on the road to win the Stanley Cup. So we're, we're, we're excited to go to Dallas. You know, we've been, we played a good game last time we were there. It wasn't the most complete game, but, uh, we're, we're, we're excited about going there and, and causing some havoc there and they're ranked first without in their minds early. Well, we wish you all the damn luck in the world. Of course, we had such a great time. I mean, I hope you are up to continuing our conversations throughout your playoff run Marcus. Absolutely. Yeah. We'll do a little the morning show's not going anywhere. So we got to keep this thing. You never know. You're playing off run night last longer than the show. Well, here's the thing. We have been on the air for 25 some odd years. So if they pulled the plug now they kind of would come off like a bunch of dicks really. There was a measure of, uh, you know, no sympathy really, I think for, you know, like when you see an old dog walking down the street, you know, at some pictures days or a number, you're, you're, you're going to let that dog maybe just walk into the sunset. Right. I mean, I don't know. Maybe a dog isn't the correct. Just leave it alone. Yeah. Let it be. Let it be. Don't even look at it. Don't look at it. If it's someone else's problem, it's someone. Josh, if that dog, if that dog appears to be in great pain, maybe then you put it out of its misery, put it out of its misery, but if it's a good, like a steak dinner, if it's, yes, if it's just tired and old, you let it be. So I think that we have that working for us. I think that will get us through at least your playoff run. No, hey, listen, exactly. I hope that we could keep this going for the next two and a half months. Knock somebody on their ass. Well, yeah, we'd love it if you go all the way to the bitter end. Absolutely. We've been talking to you every two weeks for the next, oh, Jesus, the playoffs last forever. We laugh talking to you in the height of summer. Thanks, Marcus. Whoops, somebody's ass. And we'll talk to you in a couple of weeks. Yeah, thanks guys. Have a good day. There he goes. And Randy Shaver and Brad Rutter, you guys have a good one too. You bet. Try and try not be so angry with the Timberwolves. Maybe they'll do something. Maybe they'll do something in game one that'll convince you, okay, they're ready for this, you know, and the nonsense is behind them. At least Marcus didn't get on and say how bored he was with the regular season. That's not his style. No, he didn't directly say that. But come on. He's a human being. I would imagine every once in a while when he sees on the schedule, oh, we're playing in Columbus tonight. You're telling me he doesn't say, ah, come on, this sucks. You guys will talk to you later.

Here's a guy who never fails to make me feel even dumber than I actually am whenever he visits, but it doesn't bother me because I enjoy our conversation so damn much. Lawyer Ryan Pasegas in studio with us here on the half fast morning show. He's a very smart man. If you have a question for Ryan, our text number goes like this here 651-989-9393. We're very happy to have him back. Hello Ryan. Uh oh. I gotta hit your, is your mic on there? Punch your mic. Hello. There we go. Wake up Mike. How you doing? I'm good. Good. It's great to be here. Always nice to see you. It's great to see you guys too. You do make us feel stupid though. That's true. Well I thought I brought the average intelligence down. Somehow you get smarter where we get dumber. Yeah you make me feel stupid and ugly because you always look so nice. Oh I was just thinking that his outfit is so sharp compared to the rest of us slobs. Ashley take your hand off my thigh. This is embarrassing but that's my hand. I think you know Ryan we've, of the guests we've had on the show over the years, you might be maybe the only one from about day one. I mean even Shaver came on a year or so afterwards. Hey man yeah it's been wonderful. It's, I'm thinking this probably started around 2005. Oh was it that late? I thought he was even sooner than that. I thought it was sooner than that too because the show went on the year in 99, is that correct? February 99. Sure. I thought you were with us from the get-go also. Yeah about 2005. I became a lawyer in 02 but I didn't go out on my own until 04. Okay. So because you were, I mean did you start with us before you were a lawyer? I thought you were like slinging beer or something when we first met. I was slinging beer actually. I was at St. Scam's. I used to be a beer vendor during college and stuff but I was not on the show back then. You weren't on the area? I was following Tiawanna Josh around back then. Oh god. I hated that. We got a really funny question off the bat here and I know you have an announcement you'd like to make as well. Hillman Welder Jesus said, I love how he phrased this, I have a question for that lawyer dude. Has he ever won a case where he was like, holy balls, how did we win this case? Yes. Yes. Are you able to share any details? There's been a few, right? Yeah. Well, I had a lady that was once like a 0.30 on a blood alcohol or I mean on a test, right, at DWI and I won that, won that trial. Everyone pulls something out of their ass and I went again. Once in a while, things just go your way, the right way for whatever reason, right? So if lawyers have tried a lot of cases, there's not a lot of lawyers that try a lot of cases, right? Right. A lot of them will settle or they're not in the type of business that they try cases but for the lawyers that do try a lot of cases, I'd say we all would say there's some we won that we thought we'd never win and there's some we lost that we thought we should have won. Yeah. And how many losses were really tough to walk away from? All of them? I mean, are you? Yeah. No, not all. Not all. I mean, look, you care, you want to do your best every single one, right? Your reputation's on the line. But there are some cases that end up in trial. Let's say it's a criminal case, right? Sometimes the prosecutors offer is so bad or they say no offer whatsoever that your client's got no reason not to go to trial. Okay. Even if they're guilty because it's like, hey, plead guilty and do 20 years. But if you say no to that and you go to trial and you lose, you might get 20 from the judge, maybe you get 15 from the judge. So you have no reason not to try the case if there's no offer, you know, or the offer's so bad. That's one reason. Right. Other times might maybe let's say someone is guilty. They're just headstrong about it. They can't wrap their mind around being honest about it or whatever it is. And they're the ones that get to decide whether we go to trial. It's not the lawyer. We can make a recommendation, but the client always gets to decide. So in those ones, you know, maybe you know someone's guilty and, you know, you've done your best to lead them to water and have them plead, but they don't want to do it. You know, your responsibility then is to give them the best trial because they're entitled to that under the Constitution. You know, but those ones, to be honest, of course, don't sting as much as if you think someone's truly innocent. I mean, you got their whole future in your hands, right? And those ones stay with you, I think forever. Understandable. Do you keep like a mental record or maybe just like a physical record of how many you've lost in one? Like a box score? I keep a mental record of it. I used to document it more, but I've been really fortunate to probably win, honestly, 70-80% of the trials I've tried. Oh, wow. Nice. There you go. That's, I think the averages are just about opposite that for a lot of lawyers. It's about a 20% win. It's impressive. It is impressive. I've been, I've been found what I'm good at, right? Do you, so like sometimes in the movies, the lawyer doesn't even want to know. So you, like as far as if they're guilty or not, like, you know, you have your time to claim privilege, like they don't want to know, don't tell me if you really did it, you know, we'll just kind of do our thing. Yeah. For you, how do you approach that? Yeah, it depends on the type of case there are. So the reason that lawyers don't want to know is because of this. If we know, like, let's say you come to me and you said, I did this, I killed my wife, I hid the knife in the bushes, I did it, but I want to go to trial and I want to testify that I didn't do it. The lawyer can't put you on the stand and ask you questions because then we're aiding you and committing perjury in the court. So you would have to testify on your own without us helping you, without us asking you any questions. You just have to go up there and testify on your own. Lawyers don't want to know sometimes because that inhibits how we can defend someone. If we don't know, then all of the defenses are available to us. Sure. And we can put you on the stand and you can testify and we can direct exam you because we don't know what really happened. So that's why sometimes lawyers don't want to know what happened. Other times I need to know, like, is it a self-defense case? How this go down? What's your self-defense, right? What was the reason that you felt like you needed to defend yourself in this situation? So it's a case-by-case analysis that we want to know or not? I wouldn't want to know because I don't like spoilers. I want to see how it ends. All right, 651989, 9393 is our text number. If you'd like to ask Ryan a question, oh, before we get to the questions, you had an announcement. Yeah, so coming up on 11 years ago now, right, I was sitting on a bench out front of a coffee shop in St. Paul. I'm on my iPad waiting for a client to show up. You want to meet at a coffee shop. This car comes down the road. I never saw it coming. It comes across three lanes of oncoming traffic up onto the sidewalk, hits me, drags me 40 feet. I get knocked out. I'm pinned under the car and I get a traumatic brain injury from it, right? And that was a long comeback for me to get to where I'm at again, right? The guy didn't have insurance. So there's a couple things I wanted people to know. I can give you some tips in a minute, but so my wife and I kind of went through that. She needed to take care to do more around the house and with me then while I was recovering from that. And I always became a lawyer to help people out, right? And I thought, you know, so there was some judges at the time telling me, Ryan, you got to get into personal injury law because you're so good in the courtroom, you will really, you know, have a big effect on people's verdicts if you if you take these kind of cases because you can tell their story. I can't. I'm good at criminal law. I don't need to go learn a new law. Well, I battled and battled. And finally, I was like, you know what? I need to do this other, other even personal injury lawyers were coming to me and they saw me in the courtroom and they were like, Ryan, you are so good in a courtroom. You've got to do this. You can do this. You know, it's not as complicated as you think. So I finally said, you know what? I'm going to do it. And so we've been doing personal injury. And the reason is, is because number one, I know what it's like to go through that. Sure. Having gone through it myself. And I can tell people's stories because I've walked in their shoes in a way, right? And second, the thing that's different is criminal defense lawyers and prosecutors are in the court most of all kinds of lawyers, all the types of lawyers, defense lawyers and prosecutors are in court and in trials the most, right? The thing about personal injury, and there's a lot of good personal injury lawyers out there, but very few of them have much trial experience because most of those cases settle. And they settle for two reasons. One is obviously dollars are offered to people and it's an easy way out, right? Yeah. And it's sure money. Of course, if you settle, you know you're getting the money. If you go to trial, you're rolling the dice. But the other reason I think from what I'm hearing from other lawyers too is that some many personal injury actually lawyers are afraid to go to trial because they don't have the experience. So they're like, let's take the sure money. I don't know if I'd be good in a trial. I don't have a lot of experience in this. And some people get pressured into settling because sometimes the lawyer's afraid to go to trial. Okay. So there's been some in history, some, some former criminal defense lawyers that became personal injury lawyers and all of a sudden their verdicts that they were getting for clients were much higher than the average verdicts in those types of cases. And it was because those lawyers had so much trial experience. So I thought, you know what I've been blessed with? Really good trial skills. I know how to tell people stories. I do it because I care and it's another way to help people. So I just decided I'm going to do it. And we've been doing it and it's going well. And I was a little afraid of people would think, well, wait a minute, you know, are you going to still do criminal? Are you, are you selling out? That sort of thing. No, we're still doing criminal for people because I like helping the little guy in the equation. Sometimes the government has all the money and power and you got to speak up for the little guy and the, or the little one in the fight. Double dipping has worked well for you. It's worked well and we get to help people with it, you know, and people happy to hear that. Yeah. Yeah. Did I ever tell you this story about my mother who worked most of her life for personal injury lawyers? She was a paralegal and one day all of those personal injury lawyers rented a hot air balloon ride. And so they all jump in the hot air balloon and the hot just for fun, you know, like a, like a field trip and the hot air balloon guy takes them up. I don't know how F and high up in the, and the balloon fails and they crashed into a field. Can you imagine being that hot air balloon operator who just sent a bunch of personal injury lawyers? Because the balloon failed on them. I don't remember what they, I don't remember if they went after the guy, but of all people, personal injury lawyers just got dumped out of the sky in a hot air. Well, congratulations, Ryan. Yeah, thank you. Some questions now for Ryan, and this is a very interesting one from the get go. At least I find it to be so. You're in a court in and out every day. Maybe you've heard this kind of thing a thousand times and you likely have. A listener says my granddaughter was murdered. We couldn't talk trash to the murderers at sentencing. Yep. Can I write them to talk trash to them without threatening them? You could. Yeah, there's actually rules. So victim impact statements at court are, are actually governed by some rules. And one of the rules is the person, the victim, like the family member of the victim or the victim, if they're still alive, has to talk directly to the judge at a sentencing hearing. They can't like turn and put the mean mugging on at the defendant at the table and yell at them in the hearing like you sometimes see on TV shows. Sure. They're supposed to be addressed to the judge and just talked about how it impacted you, but they got to stay within some bounds. Now, honestly, I think courts should do a better job of keeping those boundaries up because they do let people get a little out of line in my opinion. But yeah. I thought you totally could. I guess it was all based on TV and movies. Yeah. I thought you could say how much somebody sucked in that. No, you can talk about how it hurt you and how it affected you, but you can't call them an SOB or I hope you rot in hell forever kind of stuff. Most judges won't allow that. Some, I guess, are too loose about it, but it shouldn't happen because that can just incite a lot of violence in a courtroom. Right. But in terms of writing a letter to them later, I mean, I got two tips for you. Number one, of course, if you're going to do that, no, no threatening. Because that's illegal or you just recommending that's a bad idea? It's illegal. It's illegal. Look at them. And they believe that they're in risk of bodily harm. Okay. You could get charged with the crime. I didn't know if once you were incarcerated, you lost some of those rights or whatever. No, you don't do those. But in addition to that, the prison might not even put it through to the inmate if the prison's always screens all the mail. And if they think maybe they think they're not going to pass it along because no good can come from it. But I would say this is the bigger tip and having seen this in over 20 years. The people who are able to find a way to forgive have the most peace in their minds and their hearts. The people who carry that resentment inside of them for all those years later, they never get by it. And then the person's living rent free in their head forever. It's got to be very difficult to get over something like that. It's got to. But you can, you know, I don't know if people think this sounds cheesy or not, but I mean in my heart, if you learn to pray for someone, for real, the pray for the people you can't stand, it's hard in the beginning. But what happens is, is eventually that resentment melts away and you're going to have that much more peace in your mind and your heart, then trying to spew all the nasty words at them and probably never get a reply. There are some beautiful things we see in a courtroom once in a while where a victim's family comes and they say something like, I have forgiveness for you. I won't forget it, but there's forgiveness or my hopes for your future is that you can learn from this and still become a productive member, whether that's in a prison or out in society later. Those people have the peace. And that's something to think about. I'm going to try and, geez, already, I'm trying to stay as far as balling, but I was at a funeral. My oldest son had a buddy who died and it was a woman who was on something. She had a record. She had done this kind of thing before, crossed a central, like a grassy median, slammed into the family. The dad was really messed up for a long time. The poor kid dies, right? Not for Pete's sake. I was at the funeral and the way the dad talked, the forgiveness you're talking about, I was shocked that he was able to talk about it and be that kind to the other person considering the tragedy this family went through. So I know what you're talking about. I thought that is so brave and so unexpected. I'd imagine most people, including myself, were probably, I mean, they're at a church, maybe I could do it there, but F-bombing this person, being enraged, but it was awesome. It was, I mean, it was very inspiring the way he handled that. So I know what you're saying. Very difficult. Yeah, no, you're right. I mean, usually what happens is we feel two different ways. When someone does something to us, we want justice, right? We want revenge. We want justice. When we do something to someone, we want mercy, right? In most cases, I would say you're correct. Yeah. So we got to think about that a little bit. And it's a process. It takes time, but most people aren't intentionally out there doing something evil to someone. There are some people, right? There are some people that are like that. But let's say somebody's drunk driving and they go across the center meeting and they injure someone really bad, right? They didn't wake up that day thinking, I'm going to go get bombed and I'm going to go hurt someone, right? They're not even thinking of that. And they're a human being, and it doesn't mean they're not going to be held accountable for it. But, you know, if could that have ever happened to any of us in our younger days? Probably. Right? Many of us, right? Many of us have driven intoxicated, driven intoxicated at least once in our lives, some more, right? President Company included when I was younger, right? So, but for the grace of God, go I, right? Saking nuts McGee, Jesus said he's praying for a dirtbag he knows right now. He's praying for him to get smoked by a semi. Oh, no. A little bit of mercy, a little bit of mercy is the only word I can come up with. It goes a long way, but it's got to be very, very difficult. Yeah. I would have a difficult time. Someone kills one of my loved ones. I see that some bitch in court. I'm going to want to strangle him. Yeah, I'm a really resentful person. It would be really hard for me. But your point is well taken. It is well taken. Yeah, we've been talking with Ryan Pesiga. Welcome back to the show. We've been talking with criminal defense attorney and now he also works in the personal injury arena. Ryan Pesiga, always interesting, had a good time so far. Ryan, you have a couple of tips for people before we continue on. Yeah. So, if you're in a crash, there's a few things you want to do to make sure that you can protect your rights and so you don't get screwed by an insurance company actually or a lying other driver. So, number one, you want to get the police there to the scene. Second, you want to make sure that you take videos and pictures of your vehicle, the other vehicle, where it was on the road. Capture all of that, like 360s around each car. Okay. People will lie about what happened or who hid who or what. So, try to document all of that before things start getting moved around at the scene by police or anyone else. You want to make sure that when the insurance companies are going to try to call you, especially the other insurance company, and they're going to try to get you to say it was your fault or come up with other excuses why the other at fault driver might have had a reason to do what they did, right? They are not there to protect your interests. So, do not talk to the other insurance company or maybe even your own without having a lawyer first. That's really important. That's good advice. We had that. My son was hit by a car. Oh my God. Totally fine. He wasn't hurt at all, but the other insurance, I wasn't there. I didn't see it. Yeah. But the other insurance company, it's my insurance that he's on, was calling me. Luckily, I just didn't know the details. I'm like, we'll have to talk to my wife or figure that out because I didn't see it. Yeah. I had a case one time where a lady turned into me and her insurance company called and it was actually an eyewitness, a Vikings employee that was an eyewitness of it. And her insurance company tried to say that she didn't do this and I was like, well, there's an eyewitness and the police came and they saw the vehicle damage and the insurance company said, well, why don't you give us your statement and I didn't know any better at the time. And I did that and they denied the liability the next day despite the police and the eyewitness of it. Oh, no. What? That's what they're there to do. See, they don't want to pay out claims. So, they're not there to be fair to you about it, right? Do you have to speak to them? No. At all? Okay. You don't have to, number one, and your own insurer at some point, you've got to let them know what happened, but you can have the guidance of a lawyer. And a lot of times, and you also don't want to admit fault because you might be surprised at whether you're really at fault. You think you might be, but you're not. For example, did you know that if you turn in front of an oncoming driver and they're speeding, youth, and they hit you, you might think, well, wait a minute, this is my fault, right? I turn and they hit me. A speeding driver gives up their right of way on the road. You didn't know that. So, you're like, oh, it's my fault I turn, right? So, you don't know really whether you're at fault or not. I never knew that. Yeah, I thought you weren't even supposed to say you were sorry, even if like, it's just sorry this happened, even if you didn't think it was your fault. You shouldn't, even if that's your intentions or your instincts to do it, because it can really affect your claim, and you might not know how the law really works, and now you're hurting your own claim. There's another one, a motorcyclist rear-ended a semi-truck. The semi-truck didn't have its brakes on, though, and everyone's like, well, this is a clear case. He rear-ended the semi-truck. It was faulty rear-ended it, right? Well, the semi-truck didn't have working brakes. They lied and said they worked in pre-trip inspection. It turns out that was a lie. They got caught. So, there are things like that where you might think you're at fault, and actually, you're not under the law. So, you don't want to admit those things. Just talk to a lawyer and make sure you're treating for any injuries you have, and then document the heck out of what happened in your own notes as soon as you can, so you remember it. Great advice. Yeah. So, would you recommend any accident, even if it's relatively minor, calling the cops? I mean, I think that's the safest way to know, because then it's documented, right? Unfortunately, there are some people on the other side of it that'll lie about what, or they might even lie about themselves being injured, right? You just never know. So, I think it's safest to have it documented by at least unless we're talking about literally like a paint scratch. Maybe not that. But if there's any insignificant, even bump, I would say yes, because what can happen is, for example, whiplash, that often doesn't set in until three, four, five days later, sometimes even two weeks later. You feel fine that day, a couple days later, all of a sudden, you're tight, you didn't know that you got a herniated disc from it at the time or whatever, because you couldn't feel it right away, right? Call the cops, Cubby. So, it's good to have a record of those things. Just like when those teenage kids start up with those beer parties in your neighborhood, you call the cops. Just if I see a teenager in general. I got scammed by an old lady who, she did like a rear, tried to get me with a rear-ending, so to speak, where she slammed on the brakes. I didn't hit her at all. But she got out of the car and was like, you hit me. Like, ma'am, I did, I mean, there's like a foot and a half between our vehicles. I did it. And I was driving a loaner vehicle from a dealership and the dealership, and she did have damage on her car. Sure. The dealership said, listen, this is old. We know it's old, but it's just not worth the effort. So, they fixed her vehicle for her. But I couldn't believe it was a sweet old lady who totally made this thing up. Right? What an a-hole. Yeah, I know. I was like, my faith in humanity dipped a little bit. That's right. Sweet old lady, huh? That's what I thought. All the more reason to have things documented right away and have the cops out there if you can. So, you've got a good record of things. This makes me think of when I was younger, I was in a car accident and I mean, it was... Were you driving the wrong way into oncoming traffic? No, I was... Not your fault. My mom was driving. That's a story she told earlier. She once drove sober, wrong way into oncoming. Yes. It happens. And so, they rear-ended us. I mean, I felt fine, but my mom called the cops and then they asked if we wanted an ambulance because my mom was like, worried that I got whiplash, but I kept telling them, like, I'm fine. I'm completely fine. And my mom was like, stop saying that. This is like, they deserve like, you know, to get in trouble for doing this, blah, blah, blah. And so, like, that was... Like, an ambulance came out and checked me out. I ended up being okay, but... Mom and dad want... They paid for all of it. Mom and dad could use a Hawaiian vacation. Stop saying that you're okay. Lay down on the shoulder of the road and cry uncontrollably. We're out of time. It sucks because we've got some great questions that we weren't able to get to, but it's always fun, jaw-jacking with you, Ryan. Yeah, it's great to be here as well. And people can always hit me up on arrestedmn.com and they got questions I could answer them after. Always happy to help. There you go. Yeah, you can send Ryan an email or something along those lines if you have an important question. So, thank you. You look great, like Ashley said. You look wonderful. As always. Yeah. And we're happy to hear that everything's going well on the criminal end and the personal injury. Yeah. And thanks so much for having me and blessings to the Brotherhood out there and just as I was telling you during a break, man, those wild just beat the stars. Ryan's kind of wound up about the playoff. He set off air as long as they can just get past Dallas. He doesn't give a rat's ass what happens from there. You've dedicated a lot of your life to hockey on many different levels. You deserve this, Ryan. You have earned it. You've sat through some bad hockey over the years. I've played bad hockey all of my years. You were a teammate of mine on a bad hockey team. So, we are owed this. And I was probably the worst guy on that bad hockey team. You actually surprised everybody. You did. I remember back in the day they said, who's this guy? And you went out there and did quite well and they said, bring him back. Anyway, thanks to Ryan. We got to get going. Josh, you got anything? Yeah, couple of shoutouts here. Total Stud, Wisconsin Fish Cop.
