[0:01:17 – 0:01:23] Erik: No, that term has been, we have been given the cease and desist on that term.
[0:01:23 – 0:01:24] Erik: Cannot say it.
[0:01:24 – 0:01:27] Erik: March craziness.
[0:01:28 – 0:01:30] Erik: The tumble tourney moves on.
[0:01:30 – 0:01:31] Erik: We will be reviewing.

[0:01:37 – 0:01:37] Erik: Spring fever.
[0:01:38 – 0:01:40] Erik: Spring fever.
[0:01:41 – 0:01:47] Erik: TumbleTurney is here and we’re going to be whittling it down to eight teams today.
[0:01:47 – 0:01:48] Erik: Who’s going to Ely, Eric?
[0:01:48 – 0:01:49] Erik: Who’s going to Ely?
[0:01:49 – 0:01:50] Erik: The championships.
[0:01:50 – 0:01:51] Erik: Who’s going to Grand Marais?
[0:01:51 – 0:01:52] Erik: In the regionals.
[0:01:52 – 0:01:52] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:01:53 – 0:01:55] Erik: Who’s going to Grand Marais?
[0:01:55 – 0:01:58] Erik: Yeah, put that circle in the catchy.
[0:01:58 – 0:02:05] Erik: Those teams out of the wilderness brackets, the Ambrose Homestead and the Isle of Pines are going to have a real shocker.
[0:02:05 – 0:02:07] Erik: Bright lights, bright city.
[0:02:07 – 0:02:10] Adam: A rude awakening when they see all the tourists.
[0:02:10 – 0:02:17] Erik: Yeah, they’re going to have to Gene Hackman measure the hoop, show them that it’s the same height from the floor to the basket, even though you’re in a big old stadium.
[0:02:17 – 0:02:18] Adam: Is that what Larry Bird said?
[0:02:18 – 0:02:20] Adam: I have no idea what you’re talking about.
[0:02:20 – 0:02:20] Adam: Yes.
[0:02:20 – 0:02:23] Adam: Coming up this week on Tomahawk Cinema Classics.
[0:02:23 – 0:02:27] Erik: We are sponsored, as always, by our fine friends on Patreon.
[0:02:27 – 0:02:28] Erik: I’ve never seen Hoosiers.
[0:02:28 – 0:02:29] Erik: If you want to sign up.
[0:02:29 – 0:02:30] Erik: I’ve never seen Hoosiers.
[0:02:30 – 0:02:31] Erik: Five dollars a month.
[0:02:31 – 0:02:33] Erik: We’ve audibled off of a River Wild.
[0:02:33 – 0:02:38] Erik: We are going to be reviewing Hoosiers, which Adam has never seen.
[0:02:38 – 0:02:40] Erik: He thinks it’s the Larry Bird story.
[0:02:40 – 0:02:42] Adam: Larry Bird epic biopic.
[0:02:43 – 0:02:47] Erik: So tune in to find out if he will.
[0:02:48 – 0:02:53] Erik: He’s convinced Larry Bird is in Hoosiers, and you’ll have to tune in to find out if that’s true or not.
[0:02:53 – 0:02:57] Adam: It turns out that the basket is the same height, but the shorts, they only get shorter.
[0:02:57 – 0:03:00] Adam: A lot of short shorts in Hoosiers.
[0:03:01 – 0:03:05] Adam: So I picked Houston to win the basket hoop tournament.
[0:03:05 – 0:03:10] Adam: They have the shortest shorts and the most slam dunks of the four minutes of highlights I observed.
[0:03:10 – 0:03:11] Erik: So go Houston.
[0:03:11 – 0:03:12] Adam: I’ve been going.
[0:03:13 – 0:03:14] Erik: Go Houston.
[0:03:15 – 0:03:32] Erik: I’ve been going to, up until last March, I had gone to over 20 years of high school basketball tournaments, the state tournament in St. Paul and or Minneapolis.
[0:03:33 – 0:03:34] Erik: And I’ve been tracking it.
[0:03:34 – 0:03:39] Erik: And I was predicting it years ago that the short shorts were on the way back.
[0:03:39 – 0:03:42] Adam: Yeah, what was the year of the shortest short you observed?
[0:03:42 – 0:03:43] Erik: Well, I never know.
[0:03:44 – 0:03:55] Erik: My observation was that my first couple of years in the mid-90s when I first started going as an early teen, they were like mid-length, just kind of like regulars.
[0:03:55 – 0:03:55] Erik: Yeah.
[0:03:56 – 0:04:01] Erik: But then in the early 2000s to like 2010s was like the longest of the shorts.
[0:04:01 – 0:04:03] Erik: Like they were like past the knee.
[0:04:03 – 0:04:03] Erik: Ridiculous.
[0:04:03 – 0:04:04] Erik: Ridiculous.
[0:04:04 – 0:04:14] Erik: And then the short – the basketball short companies didn’t adjust for the needs of the youths in wanting their shorts shorter.
[0:04:14 – 0:04:18] Erik: So you saw this trend in like the mid-teens where they had the –
[0:04:20 – 0:04:43] Erik: hip loop basically the elastic that holds the shorts on they would roll them so that the shorts got shorter they would manually shortly shortened short and that was like the you knew you were a cool ball boy if you had those shorts manually rolled up but then in the last couple of years you actually saw like basketball short companies making them short again old john stockton back in style
[0:04:43 – 0:04:49] Adam: Yeah, if I was still playing hoop, I think I’d go with just like yoga pants at this point.
[0:04:49 – 0:04:52] Adam: Well, there’s some basketball players that wear like…
[0:04:52 – 0:04:53] Adam: Skin tight yoga pants.
[0:04:54 – 0:04:55] Adam: Don’t leave anything to imagination.
[0:04:56 – 0:04:57] Adam: God gave you those legs.
[0:04:57 – 0:04:58] Adam: Let’s see them.
[0:04:58 – 0:04:58] Adam: Yeah.
[0:04:58 – 0:04:59] Adam: I want to see that butt.
[0:05:00 – 0:05:02] Erik: You see the full like arm sleeves?
[0:05:02 – 0:05:08] Adam: And I feel a lot faster in like a compression pant than I do in any sort of swishy short.
[0:05:08 – 0:05:09] Erik: Oh, I’m sure, yeah.
[0:05:09 – 0:05:11] Adam: Actually, I’d go zero short would be my preferred.
[0:05:12 – 0:05:15] Erik: I mean, I think it’s scientifically proven that you are faster.
[0:05:16 – 0:05:18] Adam: I could definitely dunk if I put on compression pants again.
[0:05:19 – 0:05:20] Adam: I’m back above the rim.
[0:05:20 – 0:05:22] Adam: And it’s not for the diabetes.
[0:05:22 – 0:05:23] Adam: All right, this week’s…
[0:05:25 – 0:05:27] Adam: I’m part bird, all right?
[0:05:27 – 0:05:29] Adam: You know, maybe Larry Bird isn’t, but I actually am.
[0:05:29 – 0:05:31] Adam: So maybe the movie’s about me.
[0:05:31 – 0:05:32] Adam: Yeah.
[0:05:32 – 0:05:33] Adam: Rise back from the ashes.
[0:05:34 – 0:05:36] Erik: Arguably the last great white basketball player.
[0:05:38 – 0:05:43] Erik: Also sponsored this week by Surly Brewing Company.
[0:05:43 – 0:05:45] Erik: Moving Pictures.
[0:05:45 – 0:05:46] Erik: Juicy.
[0:05:46 – 0:05:47] Erik: It’s juicy.
[0:05:48 – 0:05:49] Erik: IPA.
[0:05:49 – 0:05:51] Adam: They appear to be doing some sport on there, too.
[0:05:52 – 0:05:54] Erik: It kind of looks sportish, like maybe some boxing.
[0:05:54 – 0:05:57] Erik: It also looks like it could be like a talking heads music video.
[0:05:57 – 0:05:59] Erik: Yeah, it says poetry in motion, huh?
[0:05:59 – 0:06:00] Erik: We’ll see about that.
[0:06:05 – 0:06:07] Erik: Cheers, my good man.
[0:06:07 – 0:06:08] Adam: Put the sippy in the circle.
[0:06:11 – 0:06:13] Erik: Put the circle in the catchy.
[0:06:13 – 0:06:14] Erik: That’s what they say.
[0:06:14 – 0:06:17] Adam: You gotta put a circle in the catchy, mate.
[0:06:19 – 0:06:21] Adam: Lad, you gotta put a circle in the catchy.
[0:06:22 – 0:06:23] Adam: What is he talking about?
[0:06:24 – 0:06:25] Erik: Yeah, I don’t know.
[0:06:26 – 0:06:28] Erik: It tastes… Oh, yeah.
[0:06:28 – 0:06:31] Erik: It definitely tastes way stronger than it is.
[0:06:31 – 0:06:32] Erik: It’s only 6.5%.
[0:06:33 – 0:06:38] Erik: Looks like we’ve got one of the pandemic style.
[0:06:39 – 0:06:44] Erik: Clearly a different beer can pattern underneath.
[0:06:44 – 0:06:45] Erik: Oh, is that what’s going on?
[0:06:45 – 0:06:47] Erik: That has been like… Overlaid.
[0:06:47 – 0:06:49] Erik: Overlaid with like other plastic.
[0:06:50 – 0:06:52] Erik: Because there’s like a shortage of cans.
[0:06:52 – 0:06:52] Erik: Yeah.
[0:06:53 – 0:06:54] Erik: Sad.
[0:06:54 – 0:06:54] Erik: Apparently.
[0:06:55 – 0:06:55] Erik: Very sad.
[0:06:57 – 0:07:07] Erik: Yeah, so we are not on the video this week for a variety of reasons that we’re not going to really get into.
[0:07:07 – 0:07:12] Erik: Sorry, we’re just not going to be live on a Monday at 1230 in the afternoon.
[0:07:12 – 0:07:16] Erik: But we will be live this Saturday.
[0:07:16 – 0:07:17] Erik: Saturday night.
[0:07:17 – 0:07:18] Erik: When we are…
[0:07:18 – 0:07:18] Erik: The bright lights.
[0:07:19 – 0:07:23] Erik: We’re going to be revealing the… We’re going to do two rounds within the next week.
[0:07:23 – 0:07:27] Erik: So if you’re listening to this on Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday…
[0:07:28 – 0:07:31] Erik: 22, 23, 24, you got to get those votes in.
[0:07:31 – 0:07:37] Erik: Everybody got lulled into a false sense of security with their one week at a time voting.
[0:07:38 – 0:07:46] Erik: The next two rounds are going to go a little bit faster, and we will reveal who is in the finals this Saturday night, March 1st.
[0:07:50 – 0:07:51] Adam: 20th?
[0:07:51 – 0:07:54] Adam: No, it’s the 22nd today.
[0:07:54 – 0:07:55] Erik: What?
[0:07:55 – 0:07:56] Adam: It’ll be… Is it?
[0:07:57 – 0:08:01] Erik: We’re going to be doing it on Passover night, Palm Sunday Eve, March 27th.
[0:08:01 – 0:08:02] Erik: 27th already?
[0:08:02 – 0:08:02] Adam: Yep.
[0:08:04 – 0:08:28] Erik: oh my gosh and then we will starting the 28th for a full week the finals will be up and we will crown a champion to the most majestic the most long standing and magnificent tournament of them all the tumble tourney champions 2021 oh my god and himmel oh my god and himmel
[0:08:29 – 0:08:43] Adam: Before we get to this Sweet 16 coverage on Tumble Home Sports Network, we got to give a shout out to the Fantasy at Ditterod is also a sport we play and cover on Tumble Home Sports Network.
[0:08:43 – 0:08:44] Erik: Whether you like it or not.
[0:08:45 – 0:08:47] Adam: I don’t care if they like it, and we’re covering it.
[0:08:47 – 0:08:52] Adam: And we had a pretty mediocre turnout in the Tumble Home Pack.
[0:08:53 – 0:08:56] Adam: Not as many people as the Bear Grease Pack.
[0:08:56 – 0:09:03] Adam: We didn’t really hype it up or talk about it, but our disgraced and fired attorney, Bouguagie, came out on top.
[0:09:04 – 0:09:06] Adam: Congratulations, Bouguagie.
[0:09:06 – 0:09:11] Adam: You’re still fired, and you should be disbarred.
[0:09:12 – 0:09:15] Adam: As an attorney, but you still are an attorney.
[0:09:15 – 0:09:16] Adam: Gosh darn it.
[0:09:16 – 0:09:18] Adam: And you’re a champion of Fantasy I Did Rod.
[0:09:20 – 0:09:24] Adam: At one point, he was up at like 20th place overall, which is pretty incredible in Fantasy I Did Rod.
[0:09:24 – 0:09:26] Erik: There were that many people that signed up, though?
[0:09:26 – 0:09:27] Adam: We had pretty good.
[0:09:27 – 0:09:29] Adam: I think we had 17 teams or something.
[0:09:30 – 0:09:32] Adam: Second place to Bird Doggin’ It.
[0:09:32 – 0:09:37] Adam: And then Barb’s Bannock rounded out the podium in third.
[0:09:37 – 0:09:38] Erik: Nice.
[0:09:38 – 0:09:41] Erik: I think we’ve got some in-the-field analysis from Bird Doggin’ It here in the future.
[0:09:42 – 0:09:56] Adam: Yeah, Bouguage’s team, Brent Sass, Nick Pettit, Ryan Redditt, the green man, Paige Drobny and Cody Strath, double squidding, and then the cheap easy had Joanna and Hal.
[0:09:57 – 0:09:58] Adam: both of whom finished.
[0:09:58 – 0:10:00] Adam: That’s all you really want to have your $2,500 mushers.
[0:10:00 – 0:10:01] Adam: Make sure you get there.
[0:10:02 – 0:10:03] Adam: But neither I didn’t.
[0:10:04 – 0:10:06] Adam: I can’t even remember who won Rookie of the Year.
[0:10:06 – 0:10:06] Adam: It doesn’t matter.
[0:10:07 – 0:10:09] Adam: Anyways, way to go, Bouguage.
[0:10:09 – 0:10:14] Adam: We will consider reinstating you at the Minnesota State Bar in the future.
[0:10:14 – 0:10:16] Adam: And I hope you get your career back on track.
[0:10:16 – 0:10:20] Adam: So great job picking the fantasy doggies.
[0:10:21 – 0:10:25] Adam: Now with that in the books, it’s time to move on.
[0:10:26 – 0:10:30] Adam: The main course, unless you have any other aperitif.
[0:10:30 – 0:10:32] Erik: I don’t have any aperitifs, appetizers.
[0:10:32 – 0:10:35] Erik: Let’s get straight to the meat.
[0:10:36 – 0:10:38] Erik: Meat, light the grill.
[0:10:38 – 0:10:51] Erik: In the field analysis from our friends on our Tumble Home cast, I feel like it’s only been like a month since we were like counting down to 300 members.
[0:10:52 – 0:10:53] Erik: We’re closing in on 400 now.
[0:10:54 – 0:11:19] Erik: what yes get on our tumble home cast and learn all the memes it’s a language that you kind of could potentially not understand yeah unless you’re on our tumble home cast i’ve heard messages from people that have specifically signed up for reddit just for our subreddit and that is great and i suggest you do the same we’ve got some in the field analysis here old canoe guy
[0:11:20 – 0:11:39] Erik: canoe moving on while bag of wine goes home is a sobering reminder that anything can happen in the tournament meanwhile the watercraft conference learned they can’t just coast to victory they ran into some serious headwinds in this tournament and they have to ship their paddles and head for home
[0:11:40 – 0:11:41] Erik: Yeah.
[0:11:42 – 0:11:43] Erik: Coffee’s in the Sweet 16.
[0:11:43 – 0:11:46] Erik: The bags of wine are sitting at home all deflated.
[0:11:46 – 0:11:48] Erik: Well, probably all puffy and red.
[0:11:49 – 0:11:51] Erik: Big, big red alcohol head.
[0:11:51 – 0:11:55] Adam: It’s freakish because they got punctured bad and then they also then puffed up later.
[0:11:56 – 0:11:57] Erik: Tough matchup, though.
[0:11:58 – 0:12:02] Erik: Moving on, we’ve got Bird Doggin’ It, like I said, with some in-field analysis.
[0:12:03 – 0:12:05] Adam: Bird Doggin’ It knows all the sport.
[0:12:06 – 0:12:08] Adam: Future star here at Tumble Home Sports Network.
[0:12:10 – 0:12:11] Adam: Sick.
[0:12:11 – 0:12:12] Adam: Three points.
[0:12:12 – 0:12:14] Adam: What are our points buttons looking like now?
[0:12:14 – 0:12:15] Adam: What is going on here?
[0:12:15 – 0:12:16] Adam: We got eggs.
[0:12:16 – 0:12:17] Adam: What?
[0:12:17 – 0:12:18] Adam: Have you never seen that?
[0:12:18 – 0:12:19] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:12:19 – 0:12:20] Adam: What’s going on?
[0:12:20 – 0:12:21] Adam: It’s a bag of wine is the upvote.
[0:12:22 – 0:12:22] Adam: What?
[0:12:22 – 0:12:24] Adam: It’s a box of Francia is the upvote.
[0:12:24 – 0:12:26] Adam: And the Coghlan’s egg holder is the downvote.
[0:12:27 – 0:12:28] Adam: You’ve never seen that?
[0:12:28 – 0:12:29] Adam: When did this change happen?
[0:12:29 – 0:12:31] Adam: It’s been a long… What?
[0:12:34 – 0:12:37] Erik: I don’t know what you’re viewing our subreddit on, but it’s been this way for a long time.
[0:12:37 – 0:12:39] Adam: I have an iPhone 3GS subreddit.
[0:12:40 – 0:12:43] Erik: Oh my God, that’s great that you’ve just seen it for the first time.
[0:12:43 – 0:12:44] Erik: I changed that like last summer.
[0:12:44 – 0:12:46] Adam: It’s readily apparent what they are immediately.
[0:12:46 – 0:12:48] Adam: At first it was like, is it like a horn of some sort?
[0:12:49 – 0:12:53] Adam: No, it’s the splashing wine of the Franzia box cover.
[0:12:53 – 0:13:00] Erik: Wow, I did not realize that we were going to get that revelation on this episode.
[0:13:00 – 0:13:02] SPEAKER_00: Three, two, one.
[0:13:02 – 0:13:09] Adam: This in the field analyst put on some kilometers and abandoned his post in Remix to check out the action in Atikokin.
[0:13:10 – 0:13:22] Adam: Nothing against the upstart headlamps, but no matter how dialed in their reactive lighting is, they’re simply no match for the Northern Lights when KP Index is single-handedly creating intense storms on the court.
[0:13:23 – 0:13:28] Adam: On the opposite end of the spectrum, Atikokan is abuzz with anticipation and speculation.
[0:13:28 – 0:13:36] Adam: Will the White Pines’ centuries of tradition help them stand strong against the meaty lineup of lake trout?
[0:13:36 – 0:13:41] Adam: This analyst thinks the mighty White Pines will fall, but not without controversy.
[0:13:41 – 0:13:41] Adam: Oh, my.
[0:13:41 – 0:13:42] Adam: Ooh, controversy.
[0:13:42 – 0:13:51] Adam: Rumors are swirling about lake trout’s starting center, Louis the Leviathan, potentially taking trout-enhancing drugs in the form of over-salted minnows.
[0:13:52 – 0:13:56] Adam: You hate to see a player’s reputation muddied, but anyone who put…
[0:13:57 – 0:14:03] Adam: But anyone who’s put eyes on that tanker has to wonder if his Great Bear Lake genetics are really that good.
[0:14:04 – 0:14:06] Adam: Or if something fishy is going on.
[0:14:07 – 0:14:08] Adam: Only time will tell.
[0:14:08 – 0:14:15] Adam: Because if they do advance, the mandatory testing taking place at the border to get to Grand Marais should bring the truth to light, Eric.
[0:14:16 – 0:14:16] Adam: I agree.
[0:14:17 – 0:14:21] Erik: Nobody’s talking about the two-week quarantine from the move.
[0:14:22 – 0:14:26] Erik: Yeah, there’s a couple of brackets that will move from Canada into the U.S.,
[0:14:27 – 0:14:28] Adam: They got exemptions.
[0:14:28 – 0:14:35] Adam: They have their vaccination cards that they’ve acquired either legitimately or off of Craigslist.
[0:14:35 – 0:14:36] Adam: Nice.
[0:14:36 – 0:14:46] Adam: So as long as you have that piece of paper that is handwritten the name of your vaccination and your name itself, then you know it’s legit.
[0:14:46 – 0:14:49] Erik: You couldn’t possibly forge one of those vaccination cards.
[0:14:49 – 0:14:52] Adam: My vaccination card looks like a third grader made it.
[0:14:53 – 0:14:54] Adam: It’s not even laminated.
[0:14:54 – 0:14:55] Adam: It’s ridiculous.
[0:14:55 – 0:14:57] Adam: But I can cross the border now, apparently.
[0:14:57 – 0:15:01] Adam: Next up on the show is Cheap Dancer.
[0:15:01 – 0:15:03] Adam: I’ll just finish this out if you’re okay with it.
[0:15:03 – 0:15:16] Adam: With two bags of wine and zero egg breakers, this lights versus lights matchup may endanger BWCA’s new Dark Sky Sanctuary designation.
[0:15:18 – 0:15:18] Adam: It may.
[0:15:18 – 0:15:19] Adam: It may.
[0:15:19 – 0:15:20] Adam: It could.
[0:15:21 – 0:15:22] Adam: It’s a legitimate concern.
[0:15:22 – 0:15:29] Erik: I don’t know if the Northern Lights are going to run into any trouble.
[0:15:30 – 0:15:40] Erik: In this entire tournament, considering last year they essentially walked away with the championship and they weren’t even visible.
[0:15:40 – 0:15:44] Erik: This tourney, they have been out and prominent.
[0:15:45 – 0:15:47] Adam: There was another, yeah, like what, two nights ago now?
[0:15:48 – 0:15:48] Adam: The last two nights?
[0:15:48 – 0:15:49] Adam: There was another intense…
[0:15:50 – 0:15:51] Erik: They’ve been crazy.
[0:15:51 – 0:15:52] Erik: Insane.
[0:15:52 – 0:15:58] Erik: There was one, I saw a picture of Duluth, like the lights of Duluth and the Northern Lights.
[0:15:58 – 0:16:04] Adam: Yeah, if you’re beating out City Light, oh my, what are you going to do with this kind of dark sky sanctuary up here?
[0:16:04 – 0:16:07] Erik: I mean, yeah, the headlamps don’t stand a chance.
[0:16:07 – 0:16:13] Adam: You can use a headlamp to paint a nice picture if you’re on a three-minute exposure.
[0:16:14 – 0:16:18] Adam: But even that, everybody knows what you’re really looking at in the picture.
[0:16:18 – 0:16:21] Adam: It’s not the perfectly lit little cedar tree in the corner.
[0:16:22 – 0:16:23] Adam: It’s the big show.
[0:16:23 – 0:16:25] Erik: Yeah, I think the only…
[0:16:25 – 0:16:26] Adam: I’m not worried about it.
[0:16:26 – 0:16:27] Erik: No, I’m not either.
[0:16:27 – 0:16:39] Erik: The only potential team, which is not in the tournament, that could be going up against Northern Lights at this point to provide for some kind of a… Oh, thanks, Adobe.
[0:16:39 – 0:16:42] Adam: Yeah, I asked you… Eric, are you going to update your Adobe Flash player?
[0:16:42 – 0:16:48] Erik: To remind me later, and then a web page pops up still.
[0:16:49 – 0:16:51] Erik: I said remind me later, not now.
[0:16:53 – 0:17:13] Adam: unbelievable adobe you’re fired the northern lights would literally need to the only team i could see taking out northern lights at this point would be if the sun was in wow yeah i mean they’re heavy favorites and every week their odds only go up yeah uh in vegas well we shall see there’s a lot of there’s some powerhouses on the out of the east
[0:17:14 – 0:17:19] Adam: As far as the West, though, I don’t see anybody serious there that could really challenge.
[0:17:20 – 0:17:20] Adam: But we’ll see.
[0:17:20 – 0:17:23] Erik: We’ve got some rocks of the week.
[0:17:23 – 0:17:29] Erik: Also, Greg’s trusted rock lockers.
[0:17:29 – 0:17:40] Erik: And I don’t know if it was limited to previously successful rock lockers, but we’ve got some also from the subreddit.
[0:17:41 – 0:17:45] Erik: Aldi 1 matchup of the week, White Pine versus Trout.
[0:17:45 – 0:17:46] Erik: Yeah, I think that is…
[0:17:46 – 0:17:48] Adam: The heritage matchup on Atacocan.
[0:17:49 – 0:17:51] Erik: A heritage matchup for the ages.
[0:17:52 – 0:17:53] Erik: Cannot wait for that.
[0:17:54 – 0:17:59] Erik: Aldi 1’s rock lock and upset of the week, though, is Loon Calls Over Hammocks.
[0:17:59 – 0:18:02] Erik: Team hashtag lunatics.
[0:18:03 – 0:18:03] Erik: Yeah, I don’t know.
[0:18:04 – 0:18:06] Erik: I think that one’s going to be way closer.
[0:18:07 – 0:18:08] Erik: That’s a tough lock for me.
[0:18:09 – 0:18:10] Adam: It’s a bold.
[0:18:10 – 0:18:11] Adam: That’s a bold lock.
[0:18:12 – 0:18:14] Adam: Next up on the show, Ghost of Ed Abbey.
[0:18:14 – 0:18:15] Adam: Five bags of wine.
[0:18:16 – 0:18:25] Adam: Although I don’t want it to be true, I’m taking a shoulder season special rock lock of the lowest remaining seeds of wool shirt over the mouth burners of PB Nation.
[0:18:27 – 0:18:34] Adam: Ghost of Ed Abbey, I got to say, I dug out my dirtiest, oldest, and most trusted wool shirt for today’s show, and I agree.
[0:18:34 – 0:18:37] Adam: And it was my soft lock of the week.
[0:18:37 – 0:18:38] Adam: Soft lock.
[0:18:38 – 0:18:42] Adam: It’s a little different, but same kind of concept, if you know what I’m saying.
[0:18:43 – 0:18:44] Adam: If you know what I’m saying.
[0:18:44 – 0:18:45] Adam: I’m feeling it.
[0:18:45 – 0:18:46] Adam: I’m feeling it.
[0:18:48 – 0:19:10] Erik: chunk chunk rock lock from cheap dancer knife lake will be the second edged tool team to be swallowed up by the vastness that is the milky way i hadn’t considered that knife lake was an edged tool uh team but uh they could be uh they could uh what do you call that reallocate uh
[0:19:12 – 0:19:16] Adam: reconfigure into the Edge Tools Conference.
[0:19:16 – 0:19:17] Adam: Oh, sure.
[0:19:17 – 0:19:20] Erik: They could get reallocated, relocated.
[0:19:20 – 0:19:22] Adam: Yeah, the board, I’m sure, would approve it.
[0:19:22 – 0:19:25] Adam: Next up on the show, Dirty Dodd Bod 523.
[0:19:26 – 0:19:27] Adam: Three bags of wine.
[0:19:27 – 0:19:28] Adam: Hard lock of the week.
[0:19:29 – 0:19:31] Adam: Dead calm reflections over the gravity filters.
[0:19:34 – 0:19:38] Adam: Due to rock lock by law, I am unable to select my pick from last week.
[0:19:39 – 0:19:40] Adam: Loon calls over hammocks.
[0:19:40 – 0:19:49] Adam: However, let it be known that their name will be called and easily fly into the Elite Eight, dropping guano all over those who dare to sky sleep.
[0:19:50 – 0:19:52] Erik: I mean, two months removed from a…
[0:19:54 – 0:20:01] Erik: If this tournament happened in May, I would be on Team Loon Call, no doubt.
[0:20:02 – 0:20:08] Erik: It’s a little early, though, even though our spring is, I would say, a week to two weeks ahead of schedule.
[0:20:08 – 0:20:09] Erik: Advancing rapidly.
[0:20:09 – 0:20:10] Erik: Still no loons.
[0:20:11 – 0:20:14] Erik: Loon Call intro has not returned on this show.
[0:20:14 – 0:20:15] Erik: We shall see…
[0:20:16 – 0:20:18] Erik: There is a potential if they move on.
[0:20:19 – 0:20:23] Erik: If the Loon calls win, we will reintroduce the Loon intro earlier than ever.
[0:20:24 – 0:20:24] Adam: No doubt.
[0:20:25 – 0:20:26] Adam: Yeah, I’ve seen some waterfowl.
[0:20:26 – 0:20:34] Adam: And the river up at Studio K, the ice isn’t really gone, but it’s flooded again.
[0:20:34 – 0:20:37] Adam: So liquid water has returned to the Cadence River Valley.
[0:20:38 – 0:20:44] Adam: So it’s only a matter of time until the loons return from their dirty winter slumber in the Gulf of Mexico.
[0:20:47 – 0:20:47] Adam: Eating shrimp.
[0:20:48 – 0:20:49] Adam: Eating shrimp.
[0:20:50 – 0:20:51] Adam: That’s all they do all winter.
[0:20:51 – 0:20:54] Adam: They sit down there and they scoff down shrimp by the bucket.
[0:20:56 – 0:20:56] Adam: It’s nasty.
[0:20:57 – 0:21:00] Erik: A pair of choppers in with, we’ve got a bunch of different locks.
[0:21:00 – 0:21:02] Erik: I love how across the board all these locks are.
[0:21:02 – 0:21:03] Adam: I love the confidence.
[0:21:03 – 0:21:15] Erik: Ten rainfly over three Johnson Falls for a supple, smooth, squashy, soft lock of the week.
[0:21:15 – 0:21:16] Erik: Yeah, rainflies are soft too.
[0:21:17 – 0:21:26] Erik: Yeah, I mean, looking at the current bracket, that’s why they call it the March craziness.
[0:21:26 – 0:21:27] Adam: Yes.
[0:21:28 – 0:21:29] Adam: It’s so cray.
[0:21:29 – 0:21:33] Erik: There’s 10, a 12, a 14, a 12.
[0:21:33 – 0:21:35] Erik: I mean, the only, like, they’re really…
[0:21:36 – 0:21:37] Erik: It’s busted.
[0:21:37 – 0:21:39] Erik: Let’s just go ahead and say it.
[0:21:39 – 0:21:40] Erik: That’s what happens to all brackets.
[0:21:40 – 0:21:40] Erik: It’s fully busted.
[0:21:41 – 0:21:41] Erik: All right.
[0:21:42 – 0:21:44] Erik: Got a couple more in the field analysis.
[0:21:44 – 0:21:46] Adam: And a river runs through it.
[0:21:46 – 0:21:49] Adam: Next on the show, Senor Castor from the river.
[0:21:50 – 0:21:50] Adam: Welcome back.
[0:21:50 – 0:21:53] Adam: Your pond is thawed, Senor.
[0:21:54 – 0:21:57] Adam: Coming with two picks this week and two bags of wine.
[0:21:57 – 0:21:58] Adam: Two locks.
[0:21:59 – 0:22:03] Adam: I’m looking at number 12 coffee to come in and stun number one moose.
[0:22:03 – 0:22:04] Erik: That would be stunning.
[0:22:05 – 0:22:07] Adam: Coffee looked great against No.
[0:22:07 – 0:22:12] Adam: 5 Walleye early on and its only other Critter Conference opponent this season, Campsite Mouse.
[0:22:12 – 0:22:13] Adam: Scorer 122-97.
[0:22:14 – 0:22:15] Adam: We’re getting a scorer prediction.
[0:22:16 – 0:22:16] Adam: Love it.
[0:22:17 – 0:22:18] Adam: Couldn’t remember that one.
[0:22:18 – 0:22:21] Adam: Next up, getting hot in the tournament just like they did last season.
[0:22:21 – 0:22:22] Adam: I expect No.
[0:22:22 – 0:22:24] Adam: 10 Rainfly to send No.
[0:22:24 – 0:22:25] Adam: 3 Johnson Falls over the edge.
[0:22:26 – 0:22:26] Adam: All of them.
[0:22:27 – 0:22:33] Adam: Rainfly’s dependable sturdy coverage in the paint is only matched by their dedicated fan base.
[0:22:34 – 0:22:40] Adam: Those guys keep the fire going and the bag slapping into the wee hours of the morning to support their team.
[0:22:40 – 0:22:45] Adam: Hashtag… Hashtag trailer tar PB boys.
[0:22:46 – 0:22:47] Adam: What the hell is that?
[0:22:49 – 0:22:53] Erik: Hashtag trailer tarp boys.
[0:22:56 – 0:22:59] Adam: I wanted to get some PB Nash going in there.
[0:22:59 – 0:23:01] Adam: It’s trailer tarp boys.
[0:23:01 – 0:23:02] Erik: Trailer tarp boys.
[0:23:03 – 0:23:04] Adam: How do you only have two?
[0:23:04 – 0:23:06] Adam: Pour another cocktail while you’re at it, Julian.
[0:23:06 – 0:23:07] Adam: Good lord.
[0:23:07 – 0:23:09] Adam: What was the score on that one?
[0:23:09 – 0:23:10] Adam: 115 to 87.
[0:23:10 – 0:23:12] Adam: Sorry, I mangled your hashtag.
[0:23:12 – 0:23:14] Adam: It was a beautiful hashtag.
[0:23:14 – 0:23:18] Erik: Stone cold lock of the century of the week from Hopalicious.
[0:23:20 – 0:23:22] Erik: Pizza biters over wool shirt.
[0:23:22 – 0:23:25] Adam: Trailer tarp PB boys.
[0:23:25 – 0:23:27] Erik: Hashtag trailer tarp boys.
[0:23:27 – 0:23:29] Erik: I don’t know how you added a PB in it.
[0:23:29 – 0:23:34] Erik: Wait, Adam, we have breaking news from the Watercraft Conference.
[0:23:34 – 0:23:35] Erik: Breaking news.
[0:23:35 – 0:23:39] Erik: The Watercraft Conference has fired its commissioner, Jay Stroke.
[0:23:40 – 0:23:50] Erik: Multiple sources are reporting that Jay Stroke, that’s an unfortunate name for that coach, longtime commissioner of the Powerhouse Watercraft Conference, has been fired.
[0:23:50 – 0:23:52] Adam: I think his real name is Jonathan Struck.
[0:23:53 – 0:23:53] Adam: Shorten it to Jay.
[0:23:54 – 0:23:56] Erik: Yes, this is from TCOGuy1.
[0:23:58 – 0:24:00] Erik: This is some insider breaking news.
[0:24:00 – 0:24:01] Erik: This has just been emailed to me.
[0:24:02 – 0:24:07] Erik: This is a move that was expected as none of the teams in the conference made it to the Sweet 16 of the Tumble Tourney this year.
[0:24:08 – 0:24:17] Erik: We want to thank Jay for his hard work and dedication in experiencing the Boundary Waters, conference spokesman Paddleboat said.
[0:24:18 – 0:24:26] Erik: But we are looking forward to someone to lead with a fresh set of thwarts and provide a new bow vision for the conference.
[0:24:26 – 0:24:32] Erik: Usually a perennial Final Four attendee, it was a year of tremendous disappointment for the watercraft.
[0:24:32 – 0:24:37] Erik: The conference saw first-round losses from the Kayaks, Grummins, and Souris River Aquaticos.
[0:24:38 – 0:24:40] Erik: The Kayaks game was a complete embarrassment.
[0:24:40 – 0:24:43] Erik: Half the team didn’t show up because they couldn’t figure out how to portage to the game.
[0:24:44 – 0:24:50] Erik: The other team, sorry, the other half of the team complained there was no place to store their equipment.
[0:24:50 – 0:24:53] Erik: The Grumman’s looked overwhelmed against Johnson Falls.
[0:24:53 – 0:25:01] Erik: Coach Al Uminum told reporters after the game, he’s old school.
[0:25:01 – 0:25:03] Adam: He wears short shorts even as a coach.
[0:25:03 – 0:25:04] Erik: Yeah, the pressure on the game.
[0:25:05 – 0:25:05] Erik: Jeans shorts, Eric.
[0:25:05 – 0:25:07] Adam: Jeans shorts and leather boots.
[0:25:08 – 0:25:11] Adam: They’re like Daisy Dukes, but in a manly way.
[0:25:11 – 0:25:12] Erik: Yeah, I can picture it.
[0:25:12 – 0:25:13] Erik: That’s the Al way.
[0:25:13 – 0:25:14] Erik: I can picture it.
[0:25:14 – 0:25:15] Erik: Aluminum.
[0:25:15 – 0:25:16] Adam: Aluminum.
[0:25:16 – 0:25:20] Erik: Told reporters after the game that the pressure of the game was just too heavy on their shoulders.
[0:25:21 – 0:25:29] Erik: Second round of the tournament shot shocking losses by number one seed Winona Min 2 and two seed North Star Northwind.
[0:25:29 – 0:25:39] Erik: After a highly successful regular season, Winona Min 2 was outcoached by coach Daredevil as eighth seed Lake Trout pulled them around the court.
[0:25:40 – 0:25:46] Erik: Then Northwind ran into red-hot, perfectly cooked pizza biters coached by Toast R. Oven.
[0:25:47 – 0:25:51] Erik: Yeah, when Coach Oven came in to replace Mike Irwave.
[0:25:51 – 0:25:54] Adam: Mike Irwave was terrible.
[0:25:54 – 0:25:56] Erik: Yeah, he was just not consistent.
[0:25:56 – 0:25:58] Adam: What was he playing his own defense for all the time?
[0:25:58 – 0:26:03] Erik: Yeah, I mean, you don’t just get to press the 30-second button four times and hope for a good product.
[0:26:03 – 0:26:04] Erik: Ridiculous.
[0:26:04 – 0:26:13] Erik: There have been several names mentioned as to who will be hired as the new commissioner of the Watercraft Conference, but the name at the top of the list is Paddle Faster.
[0:26:14 – 0:26:18] Erik: This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as they occur.
[0:26:19 – 0:26:20] Adam: Interesting, yeah.
[0:26:20 – 0:26:27] Adam: I don’t think interim commissioner Stan Dupleibor is going to remain, but you never know.
[0:26:27 – 0:26:28] Adam: Sometimes they do hire in-house.
[0:26:29 – 0:26:34] Adam: Stan is a good coach, but he’s a little too wild for the watercraft.
[0:26:34 – 0:26:37] Adam: I mean, he’s kind of cutting edge for watercraft.
[0:26:38 – 0:26:39] Adam: But maybe they need some of that.
[0:26:39 – 0:26:44] Adam: Maybe he sticks around as like a strength and conditioning coach if they bring somebody new in as the commissioner.
[0:26:45 – 0:26:45] Erik: We’ll see.
[0:26:45 – 0:27:03] Erik: Yeah, I mean, it’s a year after the Kevlar canoe got split up, and they just need a little bit of an extra, maybe a year to kind of retool, try to figure out what that means.
[0:27:03 – 0:27:05] Erik: Their identity is up in the air as of today.
[0:27:07 – 0:27:10] Erik: So those are your in-the-field analysis.
[0:27:10 – 0:27:12] Erik: We’ve got locks of the week.
[0:27:12 – 0:27:13] Erik: Yours is a soft lock.
[0:27:14 – 0:27:20] Erik: With the wool shirts, my hard lock, Lakers, moving on to the Elite Eight.
[0:27:21 – 0:27:25] Erik: Should we get in to the results of the Sweet 16?
[0:27:25 – 0:27:26] Adam: Absolutely.
[0:27:26 – 0:27:31] Adam: We have eight different regional championships to decide today.
[0:27:32 – 0:27:33] Adam: And the results have been decided.
[0:27:33 – 0:27:34] Adam: We have not looked.
[0:27:35 – 0:27:41] Adam: I woke up and went for a sojourn before coming down here to Studio K2.
[0:27:41 – 0:27:43] Adam: So neither of us have any idea what’s to come.
[0:27:44 – 0:27:45] Adam: And I have my hopes and dreams.
[0:27:46 – 0:27:49] Adam: I expect I’ll probably lose at least one of my final four teams today.
[0:27:50 – 0:27:52] Erik: Yeah, I mean, we always do this.
[0:27:53 – 0:27:57] Erik: Let’s quick run down what we’ve got on our My Prediction board.
[0:27:59 – 0:28:04] Erik: In the Sweet 16, I had the Northern Lights over Edibles.
[0:28:05 – 0:28:11] Erik: Edibles lost in the first round to the matchup currently happening, which is Northern Lights over Headlights.
[0:28:11 – 0:28:14] Erik: And I’ve got the Northern Lights moving on.
[0:28:16 – 0:28:19] Erik: I’ve got, in the second matchup, the championship in Isabella.
[0:28:20 – 0:28:26] Erik: Gravity filter over fresh blueberries, so I can still pull out a Elite Eight.
[0:28:28 – 0:28:29] Adam: You’re on Team GWF, then.
[0:28:29 – 0:28:31] Erik: I have to be on Team GWF.
[0:28:31 – 0:28:32] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:28:32 – 0:28:39] Erik: I’ve got Bag of Wine over Hammocks, so I can’t get the loons hammock matchup.
[0:28:39 – 0:28:45] Erik: And I’ve got the biters over the wool shirts.
[0:28:46 – 0:28:47] Adam: That’s filthy.
[0:28:47 – 0:28:51] Adam: I had, of course, the Northern Lights.
[0:28:52 – 0:28:54] Adam: It doesn’t matter who I had them over at this point.
[0:28:54 – 0:28:55] Adam: I had Northern Lights winning.
[0:28:56 – 0:28:59] Adam: I think over Fisher-Matt, probably.
[0:28:59 – 0:29:01] Adam: But I think Northern Lights are going on.
[0:29:03 – 0:29:05] Adam: And then the Isabella Championship.
[0:29:06 – 0:29:09] Adam: I had Skinny Dipping winning the Isabella Championship.
[0:29:09 – 0:29:12] Adam: They didn’t even make it to the Sweet 16.
[0:29:12 – 0:29:15] Adam: And so I voted for Dead Calm Reflections.
[0:29:16 – 0:29:18] Adam: I’m just feeling the calm.
[0:29:19 – 0:29:22] Adam: And I want to see dead column reflections against Northern Lights.
[0:29:22 – 0:29:24] Adam: It’s really a dream scenario.
[0:29:24 – 0:29:25] Adam: So that’s how I voted.
[0:29:27 – 0:29:28] Adam: Down into Minto.
[0:29:28 – 0:29:30] Adam: I got the hammocks going.
[0:29:30 – 0:29:33] Adam: I got the hammocks going all the way to the final four.
[0:29:33 – 0:29:36] Adam: And they’re the team I’m most worried about as a Final Four pick.
[0:29:36 – 0:29:38] Adam: I’ve already lost them in two.
[0:29:39 – 0:29:40] Adam: So I’m down to three in my Final Four.
[0:29:41 – 0:29:44] Adam: And I can see hammocks getting busted by the loons.
[0:29:44 – 0:29:47] Adam: It seems like the people are on board with this early spring.
[0:29:47 – 0:29:49] Adam: Yeah, I’m sensing it.
[0:29:49 – 0:29:50] Adam: And they might be trouble.
[0:29:51 – 0:29:52] Adam: They have very punctured a bag of wine.
[0:29:53 – 0:29:55] Adam: You don’t even want to see what happens when you put a loon in a hammock.
[0:29:56 – 0:29:57] Erik: It’s going to get thrashed.
[0:29:57 – 0:29:58] Erik: It’s going to be madness.
[0:29:58 – 0:29:59] Adam: Yeah.
[0:30:00 – 0:30:01] Adam: Moving on down to bike.
[0:30:01 – 0:30:05] Adam: I did call the wool shirt versus PB Nash matchup.
[0:30:05 – 0:30:05] Adam: We both did.
[0:30:05 – 0:30:06] Adam: The 14 versus 7.
[0:30:07 – 0:30:08] Adam: And I’ve already said it.
[0:30:08 – 0:30:12] Adam: I’m wearing my oldest, crustiest.
[0:30:12 – 0:30:15] Adam: The sleeves are cut off of it, and it no longer fits me.
[0:30:15 – 0:30:16] Adam: Wool shirt.
[0:30:16 – 0:30:20] Adam: And I’m going with my soft lock 14 seed wool shirts.
[0:30:21 – 0:30:21] Adam: Let’s go.
[0:30:21 – 0:30:22] Erik: All right.
[0:30:22 – 0:30:22] Erik: Let’s get it.
[0:30:22 – 0:30:29] Erik: First team to make it into the Elite Eight, undefeated for over a year now.
[0:30:30 – 0:30:40] Erik: Northern Lights continuing on in their search for a back-to-back championship run.
[0:30:41 – 0:30:41] Erik: They…
[0:30:42 – 0:30:43] Erik: Put down the headlamps.
[0:30:44 – 0:30:45] Erik: Cinderella story.
[0:30:46 – 0:30:46] Erik: Go home.
[0:30:47 – 0:30:52] Erik: Take that slipper and just grab it with both your hands and twist it.
[0:30:52 – 0:30:54] Adam: In this case, the slipper is a AAA battery.
[0:30:55 – 0:30:56] Adam: You break it over your knee.
[0:30:57 – 0:30:58] Adam: Go with nature’s battery and light.
[0:30:59 – 0:30:59] Adam: Northern lights.
[0:31:00 – 0:31:00] Adam: The artificial light.
[0:31:01 – 0:31:01] Erik: 174.
[0:31:01 – 0:31:02] Erik: Headlamps, 44.
[0:31:02 – 0:31:02] Erik: 174.
[0:31:02 – 0:31:03] Erik: Pretty nice.
[0:31:07 – 0:31:13] Adam: Who are they going to match up against in the first round in Ely?
[0:31:14 – 0:31:17] Adam: GWF versus the DCR and the Isabella Championship.
[0:31:18 – 0:31:22] Erik: Oh, it’s going to be a magical, a magical night.
[0:31:23 – 0:31:26] Erik: Dead Calm Reflections moves on 127 to 94.
[0:31:26 – 0:31:27] Erik: Very, very good game.
[0:31:30 – 0:31:55] Erik: uh dead calm reflections got rattled early but they were able to level themselves out play steady d the rest of the way i am looking forward to a northern lights versus dead calm reflection matchup that should be excellent i mean that’s just gonna be a game for the ages where you just sit back and marvel at both of those teams going i mean yes it’s going to be a low scoring affair but it’s going to be magical
[0:31:55 – 0:31:56] Adam: Absolutely.
[0:31:56 – 0:32:06] Adam: KP Index actually played the whole game against Headlamp and didn’t really have his best performance of the year, but they got a new kid on the team.
[0:32:06 – 0:32:07] Adam: It just goes by Steve.
[0:32:07 – 0:32:10] Adam: Steve’s been out.
[0:32:10 – 0:32:12] Adam: Just like a one-name wonder.
[0:32:12 – 0:32:13] Adam: There’s no last name.
[0:32:13 – 0:32:14] Adam: It’s just Steve.
[0:32:15 – 0:32:21] Adam: And Steve put up, I think, 55 points in the Sweet 16 championship there in Remex.
[0:32:22 – 0:32:28] Adam: And been seeing all over the Northland his incredible reach.
[0:32:29 – 0:32:30] Adam: Steve had a triple-double.
[0:32:30 – 0:32:33] Adam: Yeah, it was a big game for Steve and it was kind of a real fun help party.
[0:32:34 – 0:32:34] Adam: 45 assists.
[0:32:34 – 0:32:35] Erik: Yeah.
[0:32:35 – 0:32:35] Erik: 45 assists.
[0:32:35 – 0:32:36] Erik: Ridiculous.
[0:32:36 – 0:32:37] Erik: Yeah, so.
[0:32:37 – 0:32:38] Adam: 90 rebounds.
[0:32:38 – 0:32:38] Adam: Watch out.
[0:32:38 – 0:32:44] Adam: This isn’t just a team with KP Index and, you know, reverse polarity.
[0:32:44 – 0:32:49] Adam: Coach, you know, Coach has a deep bench there with Northern Lights.
[0:32:49 – 0:32:56] Adam: And as Eric said earlier, it’s like it’s hard to imagine anybody actually stepping up against this team with the current conditions out there right now.
[0:32:56 – 0:32:57] Adam: Coach.
[0:32:57 – 0:32:59] Adam: A lot of clear skies, a lot of magical nights.
[0:33:00 – 0:33:03] Erik: Christian Berkland, he doesn’t even sit on the bench anymore.
[0:33:03 – 0:33:06] Erik: He sits up in one of those office suites and watches.
[0:33:06 – 0:33:08] Adam: He has the stone tower on the ridge top.
[0:33:09 – 0:33:10] Erik: They know what they’re doing.
[0:33:10 – 0:33:11] Adam: They don’t even need to be coached.
[0:33:11 – 0:33:12] Erik: I don’t even need to be down there.
[0:33:12 – 0:33:14] Adam: Wow, that’s going to be a great matchup.
[0:33:14 – 0:33:21] Adam: The 10 versus the 1 in the finals going to the Ely bracket over there.
[0:33:22 – 0:33:22] Adam: That’s going to be hot.
[0:33:23 – 0:33:24] Adam: That’s going to be real hot.
[0:33:24 – 0:33:26] Adam: Moving on down into Minto.
[0:33:27 – 0:33:28] Adam: Minto, it’s a state of mind.
[0:33:29 – 0:33:30] Erik: It’s a state of mind.
[0:33:30 – 0:33:34] Erik: The championship in Minto, Loons versus Hammocks.
[0:33:35 – 0:33:44] Erik: We’ve got, oh boy, the sense of the groundswell behind this team is real.
[0:33:44 – 0:33:47] Erik: This tournament continues to get busted.
[0:33:47 – 0:33:49] Erik: Loons move on.
[0:33:50 – 0:33:51] Erik: 159 to 61.
[0:33:51 – 0:33:52] Erik: That wasn’t even close.
[0:33:52 – 0:33:53] Adam: Woo!
[0:33:55 – 0:33:56] Erik: Not even close.
[0:33:56 – 0:33:57] Erik: Yikes.
[0:33:58 – 0:34:03] Erik: The Loon Calls will go up against… Oh, boy.
[0:34:04 – 0:34:09] Erik: Again, the tournament is continually busted.
[0:34:09 – 0:34:12] Erik: Your lock has been softly secured.
[0:34:12 – 0:34:13] Erik: Softly secured.
[0:34:14 – 0:34:15] Erik: Wool shirts, 139.
[0:34:15 – 0:34:16] Erik: Biters, 79.
[0:34:19 – 0:34:22] Adam: All right, pretty strong victory there for the wool shirts.
[0:34:22 – 0:34:26] Adam: It was a good thing I dug this thing out of the closet this morning.
[0:34:26 – 0:34:28] Adam: Natalie said, I thought we threw that shirt away.
[0:34:28 – 0:34:30] Adam: I said, you did.
[0:34:30 – 0:34:32] Adam: I fished it out of the garbage.
[0:34:32 – 0:34:37] Adam: This is my garbage wool shirt, and that’s two weeks in a row for the lock of the week.
[0:34:38 – 0:34:39] Adam: Wool shirts.
[0:34:39 – 0:34:40] Adam: I don’t know if they’ve got a third in them, though.
[0:34:40 – 0:34:41] Adam: We’ll see.
[0:34:41 – 0:34:45] Adam: We’ll revisit our new locks of the week at the end of this episode.
[0:34:45 – 0:34:45] Adam: Yeah.
[0:34:45 – 0:34:45] Adam: Wow.
[0:34:45 – 0:34:48] Adam: We’ve got an interesting… Loon versus wool shirt.
[0:34:48 – 0:34:49] Adam: Loon versus…
[0:34:49 – 0:34:50] Erik: The nine… Nine versus 14.
[0:34:50 – 0:34:52] Erik: It’s like… Unbelievable.
[0:34:52 – 0:34:52] Erik: Love it.
[0:34:52 – 0:34:55] Erik: The championship, the selection committee…
[0:34:56 – 0:34:58] Erik: They might need to do some soul searching in the offseason.
[0:34:58 – 0:35:01] Adam: Anybody that makes the tournament is strong enough to win it, in theory.
[0:35:02 – 0:35:02] Erik: This is true.
[0:35:03 – 0:35:06] Adam: But I’d love to see that 9 versus 14.
[0:35:06 – 0:35:08] Adam: I’ve got to say RIP to the Hammocks.
[0:35:09 – 0:35:12] Adam: And somebody fell out of their hammock, it looks like.
[0:35:12 – 0:35:15] Adam: And that is my Final Four pick is gone.
[0:35:16 – 0:35:24] Adam: So I have two Final Four picks now gone of this tournament, but both my finalists and my champion are still in it as of right now.
[0:35:24 – 0:35:27] Adam: We shall see how the East plays out.
[0:35:27 – 0:35:35] Erik: Yeah, I’ve got still three out of four and both of my finalists as well.
[0:35:35 – 0:35:36] Adam: You’re looking good.
[0:35:36 – 0:35:37] Adam: You’re looking good.
[0:35:37 – 0:35:38] Erik: I’m okay.
[0:35:38 – 0:35:41] Erik: I’m going to need some good things to happen in the East here.
[0:35:42 – 0:35:42] Erik: Man, oh, man.
[0:35:43 – 0:35:46] Adam: That’s your halftime chiptune remix.
[0:35:56 – 0:35:57] SPEAKER_00: Boom, boom, boom, boom.
[0:35:58 – 0:36:01] Adam: Boom, boom, boom, boom.
[0:36:01 – 0:36:03] Adam: No, no, no.
[0:36:04 – 0:36:07] Adam: No, no, no.
[0:36:07 – 0:36:08] Adam: We’re back from commercial.
[0:36:08 – 0:36:11] Adam: Welcome back to the sports desk with the insiders.
[0:36:11 – 0:36:12] Adam: My name is Adam.
[0:36:12 – 0:36:14] Adam: I’m joined here by Eric for the second half.
[0:36:14 – 0:36:15] Adam: Hello, Eric.
[0:36:16 – 0:36:20] Erik: We’ve still got some grain belt Nordese.
[0:36:22 – 0:36:23] SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Dakota.
[0:36:23 – 0:36:23] Erik: Dakota.
[0:36:26 – 0:36:26] Adam: Dakota.
[0:36:27 – 0:36:32] Adam: Was this from Dakota Schlosser, Rookie of the Year at the Iditarod?
[0:36:32 – 0:36:32] Erik: No.
[0:36:33 – 0:36:33] Erik: Okay, then.
[0:36:34 – 0:36:35] Erik: He does have dogs, though.
[0:36:35 – 0:36:36] Adam: All right.
[0:36:36 – 0:36:38] Adam: Dakota with the dogs.
[0:36:38 – 0:36:39] Adam: Okay.
[0:36:40 – 0:36:40] Adam: Coming in hot.
[0:36:40 – 0:36:41] Adam: All right.
[0:36:41 – 0:36:48] Adam: We got the Atacocan, Grand Portage, Ambrose Homestead, and Isle of Pines championships coming up here in the east.
[0:36:49 – 0:36:51] Adam: Everybody’s looking for their ticket to Grand Marais.
[0:36:52 – 0:36:58] Adam: Who’s going to get on down, have a herring breakfast at South of the Border next week?
[0:36:58 – 0:36:58] Adam: We’re going to see.
[0:36:59 – 0:37:05] Erik: My hard lock in the heritage matchup in Atacocan championship.
[0:37:05 – 0:37:07] Erik: I’ve got Lakers over White Pine.
[0:37:08 – 0:37:10] Erik: I will cry if the Lakers don’t move on.
[0:37:11 – 0:37:13] Adam: Yeah, and I was out trying once again to test my theory.
[0:37:14 – 0:37:18] Adam: If I fish by a white pine, would I catch a laker?
[0:37:18 – 0:37:18] Adam: I did not.
[0:37:19 – 0:37:24] Adam: I was two weeks in a row skunked going for monster laker with the biggest bait I could find.
[0:37:24 – 0:37:28] Adam: So my gut says white pine is going to sneak through, but my heart says laker.
[0:37:28 – 0:37:29] Adam: I want lakers.
[0:37:29 – 0:37:32] Adam: Regardless, because I’m just not that good of a fisherman these days.
[0:37:33 – 0:37:56] Erik: i’m gonna be i’d be shocked if lakers don’t go through it’s your lock of the week it’s my lock of the week and i’ve been i’ve been i think we’re all of our locks have been true locks we have to set up a gambling service well for these people outside of the uh the garmin inreach which i picked against my own bracket yes well you chose you chose the lock and then voted against
[0:37:56 – 0:37:57] Adam: Yeah, well, I knew better.
[0:37:57 – 0:37:59] Erik: It was a close matchup.
[0:38:00 – 0:38:03] Erik: You could have had one more vote closer to being a true lock.
[0:38:03 – 0:38:05] Adam: I did vote twice in the first round.
[0:38:05 – 0:38:07] Adam: It’s my privilege, so I did.
[0:38:08 – 0:38:11] Adam: I’ve only voted once every round since, just for the record.
[0:38:12 – 0:38:13] Adam: I’m not a cheater.
[0:38:14 – 0:38:25] Adam: Coming up in the Grand Portage Championship, we have Johnson Falls, the three seed, going up against Rainfly, which a few people out there had called as their soft lock of the week.
[0:38:26 – 0:38:28] Adam: Their defense just smothers everything.
[0:38:29 – 0:38:31] Adam: Nothing gets through against the Rainflies.
[0:38:32 – 0:38:32] Adam: They’re a real…
[0:38:34 – 0:38:38] Adam: They play like the old Princeton team is old.
[0:38:38 – 0:38:42] Erik: Oh, yeah, you get that backdoor sneaker.
[0:38:42 – 0:38:45] Adam: I had the— Stifling defense.
[0:38:45 – 0:38:46] Adam: But I don’t know.
[0:38:46 – 0:38:49] Adam: I feel like the power of Johnson Falls is going to overcome them.
[0:38:50 – 0:38:53] Adam: This entire bracket and Anacokam, by the way, is completely busted for me.
[0:38:54 – 0:39:00] Adam: So I had no skin in the game, but I did vote for Johnson Falls, and I did vote for White Pine because I didn’t catch a lake trout.
[0:39:00 – 0:39:02] Adam: So I just voted against the lake trout out of spite.
[0:39:03 – 0:39:05] Erik: I got a lot of skin in this bracket.
[0:39:05 – 0:39:10] Erik: I did have Lakers and White Pine, and I have Lakers clearly as the lock.
[0:39:11 – 0:39:13] Erik: And then I had McKenzie Mapp over Bacon.
[0:39:13 – 0:39:15] Erik: So no skin there.
[0:39:15 – 0:39:16] Erik: Can’t get any of that right.
[0:39:16 – 0:39:21] Erik: We were talking during the break that I’m kind of ready for Rainfly to just get out of here.
[0:39:22 – 0:39:26] Adam: Well, now that Hammock has gone too, I just don’t feel like there’s a place for Rainfly in this tournament.
[0:39:26 – 0:39:27] Erik: Boo Rainfly.
[0:39:27 – 0:39:28] Adam: I’m not going to boo him, Eric.
[0:39:28 – 0:39:29] Adam: I’m booing them.
[0:39:29 – 0:39:30] Erik: I’m actively booing them.
[0:39:31 – 0:39:32] Adam: I want Johnson Falls through.
[0:39:32 – 0:39:35] Adam: I think you’re going that way, too, out of Grand Portage.
[0:39:36 – 0:39:36] Erik: Yeah.
[0:39:36 – 0:39:38] Adam: You know where Johnson Falls flows to?
[0:39:39 – 0:39:39] Adam: It’s the Pigeon River.
[0:39:39 – 0:39:40] Adam: Pigeon River.
[0:39:40 – 0:39:41] Adam: You’re darn tootin’.
[0:39:42 – 0:39:44] Adam: All right, moving on down to the Ambrose Homestead.
[0:39:45 – 0:39:51] Adam: Got another kind of a heritage match up here, the east, with number one Moose versus the…
[0:39:51 – 0:40:02] Adam: The hot steaming mug of coffee, number 12 seed coffee, coming in after demolishing walleye and wool socks on their way to the Sweet 16.
[0:40:02 – 0:40:05] Adam: Probably one of the other hot teams out there up there with Loon.
[0:40:05 – 0:40:08] Adam: It’s kind of got the same feel as the Loon call.
[0:40:09 – 0:40:15] Adam: They just seem to be everything they touch turns to a beautiful cup of coffee.
[0:40:17 – 0:40:21] Erik: I didn’t realize that up to this point I have a perfect bracket down here.
[0:40:21 – 0:40:22] Adam: Oh, I didn’t.
[0:40:22 – 0:40:27] Adam: I think I had Moose beating Walleye in my bracket.
[0:40:27 – 0:40:30] Erik: Boy, what a matchup that would have been.
[0:40:30 – 0:40:32] Adam: Pretty neat, but it didn’t happen.
[0:40:33 – 0:40:36] Adam: I’m calling Moose to win here over Coffey.
[0:40:36 – 0:40:42] Adam: And then in the Isle of Pines championship, Chalk went out here.
[0:40:42 – 0:40:44] Adam: I think that’s the only spot where Chalk went out.
[0:40:45 – 0:40:49] Adam: Knife Lake, the three seed versus the two seed Milky Way.
[0:40:49 – 0:40:56] Adam: Milky Way, uh, Milky beat Silky and then Milky, uh, in the first round had beat the Lagomorphs.
[0:40:56 – 0:40:59] Adam: We all remember our good friends, the Lagomorphs.
[0:40:59 – 0:41:05] Adam: Knife Lake in route, uh, took out Muck Boots pretty savagely and then, uh, broke the ugly stick.
[0:41:06 – 0:41:12] Adam: Uh, those, uh, Knife Lake and, uh, somebody suggested they could be, uh, edge tools, uh, eligible.
[0:41:12 – 0:41:15] Adam: So we’ve got to watch them with great interest.
[0:41:16 – 0:41:21] Adam: But I have Milky Way going over Knife Lake here, and I called both those out of Isle of Pint, and that’s my prediction.
[0:41:21 – 0:41:27] Erik: Yeah, I’ve got Moose and Milkies into the Elite Eight.
[0:41:27 – 0:41:36] Adam: Yeah, I think this is the only bracket where I actually picked the one in the two seed to go to the Elite Eight and meet in that regional.
[0:41:36 – 0:41:36] Erik: Yeah.
[0:41:38 – 0:41:40] Adam: We’re going to go ahead and get to the results.
[0:41:40 – 0:41:41] Adam: Are you ready, Eric?
[0:41:41 – 0:41:41] Erik: I’m pumped.
[0:41:41 – 0:41:43] Erik: I’m about as pumped as you can get.
[0:41:43 – 0:41:47] Erik: And if you can’t hear it, you could see it if you were here.
[0:41:50 – 0:41:50] Adam: Oh, no.
[0:41:51 – 0:41:52] Adam: The lock’s busted.
[0:41:53 – 0:41:53] Adam: Yeah.
[0:41:54 – 0:41:58] Adam: White Pine squeaks one out over the Lake Trout.
[0:41:58 – 0:41:59] Adam: It’s a squeaker.
[0:41:59 – 0:42:02] Adam: We’ve had one other 10-point difference so far in this tournament.
[0:42:03 – 0:42:04] Adam: This one’s a 20.
[0:42:04 – 0:42:05] Erik: 120 to 100.
[0:42:05 – 0:42:08] Adam: White Pine over the Lake Trout.
[0:42:08 – 0:42:10] Erik: What is wrong with you people?
[0:42:10 – 0:42:12] Erik: This is the last tumble tourney ever.
[0:42:12 – 0:42:13] Erik: We’re not even going to do the Elite Eight.
[0:42:13 – 0:42:14] Erik: I’m shutting it down.
[0:42:14 – 0:42:25] Adam: Well, you know, maybe if the lake trout, maybe if Namekush had come around and sniffed the big dead bait on Thursday, things could have gone differently, but they clearly…
[0:42:25 – 0:42:28] Adam: Thought they had this in the bag and just didn’t show up.
[0:42:28 – 0:42:37] Adam: Meanwhile, basking in the picnic sunlight as the white pine needles shimmered overhead, they got through.
[0:42:37 – 0:42:38] Adam: It was a tough game.
[0:42:38 – 0:42:39] Adam: I think that one went to overtime.
[0:42:39 – 0:42:41] Erik: I do love the white pines.
[0:42:41 – 0:42:42] Adam: It was tied 100-100 after two halves.
[0:42:45 – 0:42:49] Adam: And White Pine rattled off 20 straight in OT to win that one.
[0:42:49 – 0:42:50] Adam: 20 straight.
[0:42:50 – 0:42:52] Adam: And the Anakokan Championship.
[0:42:52 – 0:42:55] Adam: That’s unlikely, but that’s what happened.
[0:42:55 – 0:42:58] Erik: I’m going to get surly if it’s White Pine versus Rainfly.
[0:42:59 – 0:43:00] Erik: I’ll be honest.
[0:43:01 – 0:43:04] Adam: It is White Pine versus Rainfly.
[0:43:04 – 0:43:04] Adam: Boo!
[0:43:04 – 0:43:05] Adam: Boo, Rainfly!
[0:43:05 – 0:43:09] Adam: The whole side of the bracket’s been ridiculous since the start.
[0:43:10 – 0:43:13] Adam: Bucket Hat should have won all this, but Johnson Falls loses to Rainfly.
[0:43:13 – 0:43:14] Adam: The 10 seed, 124 to 95.
[0:43:14 – 0:43:14] Adam: Oh, boy.
[0:43:14 – 0:43:16] Adam: Rainfly versus White Pine.
[0:43:23 – 0:43:24] Erik: I hate rain fly.
[0:43:24 – 0:43:25] Erik: I’m going to say it.
[0:43:25 – 0:43:27] Erik: I’m going to just be honest with everybody.
[0:43:27 – 0:43:31] Adam: I like rain flies, but in this instance, I am now cheering against them.
[0:43:31 – 0:43:34] Erik: How are they one of the last eight teams remaining?
[0:43:34 – 0:43:35] Erik: Is it the matchups?
[0:43:35 – 0:43:36] Erik: Do you not like bacon?
[0:43:37 – 0:43:45] Adam: They don’t like Wolf Halls, they don’t like Bacon, and they don’t like Johnson Falls, arguably one of the greatest spots in the entire world.
[0:43:46 – 0:43:50] Adam: Going down in Grand Portage, that’s why you play the games.
[0:43:50 – 0:43:56] Adam: All right, so moving on down to the Ambrose Homestead Championship.
[0:43:56 – 0:43:57] Adam: Coffee versus Moose.
[0:43:57 – 0:44:01] Adam: We’ve called for Moose, and I’d be shocked if it was close.
[0:44:02 – 0:44:03] Adam: It is not close.
[0:44:03 – 0:44:04] Adam: Moose is moving on.
[0:44:05 – 0:44:05] Adam: Moose.
[0:44:06 – 0:44:07] Adam: Moose!
[0:44:07 – 0:44:10] Adam: Moose!
[0:44:11 – 0:44:12] Adam: 130 to 91.
[0:44:13 – 0:44:14] Adam: Big victory for Moose.
[0:44:14 – 0:44:18] Adam: They just did their thing and kept on moving.
[0:44:18 – 0:44:19] Adam: They’re the Moose.
[0:44:20 – 0:44:21] Adam: And they’re through.
[0:44:21 – 0:44:22] Adam: One seed takes out coffee.
[0:44:24 – 0:44:24] Adam: No surprise there.
[0:44:25 – 0:44:28] Adam: And our final matchup at the Isle of Pines, Milky versus Knife Lake.
[0:44:29 – 0:44:30] Adam: This is a really good one.
[0:44:30 – 0:44:37] Adam: And I heard from our field correspondents this one was a real back and forth affair.
[0:44:39 – 0:44:40] Adam: But that was just in the first half.
[0:44:40 – 0:44:43] Adam: Then it was all Milky Way in the second half.
[0:44:43 – 0:44:44] Adam: The Milkies.
[0:44:44 – 0:44:48] Adam: Milky Way with the biggest blowout of the entire Sweet 16.
[0:44:48 – 0:44:48] Adam: 156 to 65.
[0:44:48 – 0:44:48] Adam: Yeah.
[0:44:48 – 0:44:50] Adam: Adios, Knife-o.
[0:44:53 – 0:44:55] Erik: That one’s not a surprise.
[0:44:55 – 0:44:58] Erik: So we’ve got Moose versus Milky.
[0:44:59 – 0:45:02] Erik: That’s going to be a… That’s right.
[0:45:03 – 0:45:06] Erik: I love three out of the four of these matchups.
[0:45:06 – 0:45:10] Erik: I’m not tuning in to White Pine versus Rainfly.
[0:45:11 – 0:45:13] Erik: I will go and do something else.
[0:45:13 – 0:45:17] Erik: I’ll go dig a hole in my yard for no reason and then just refill it in.
[0:45:18 – 0:45:20] Adam: Maybe you should have come out lake trout fishing.
[0:45:20 – 0:45:23] Adam: Instead of staying home on Thursday, maybe it would have helped your team.
[0:45:25 – 0:45:28] Adam: We could have used two more tip-ups out there on Thursday, Eric.
[0:45:29 – 0:45:30] Erik: How dare you?
[0:45:30 – 0:45:31] Adam: Well, I’m just saying.
[0:45:32 – 0:45:33] Adam: I had work to do.
[0:45:33 – 0:45:35] Adam: You could have called in sick, you know.
[0:45:36 – 0:45:39] Adam: Life is all about the time we have with one another.
[0:45:39 – 0:45:43] SPEAKER_00: I can’t call in sick to a scheduled phone interview with a potential staff member.
[0:45:43 – 0:45:44] Adam: You should have called in sick to an interview.
[0:45:45 – 0:45:45] Adam: I’m sick.
[0:45:45 – 0:45:46] Adam: Very professional.
[0:45:46 – 0:45:47] Adam: I’m sick.
[0:45:47 – 0:45:48] Adam: No, I can’t talk.
[0:45:48 – 0:45:49] Adam: I want to work for this guy.
[0:45:49 – 0:45:51] Adam: Yeah, he’s sick on a phone?
[0:45:52 – 0:45:53] Adam: I don’t think so.
[0:45:53 – 0:45:56] Erik: Oh, boy.
[0:45:56 – 0:46:03] Adam: All right, yeah, so we got, yeah, Laker, White Pine versus Rainfly.
[0:46:03 – 0:46:05] Adam: It doesn’t even come off the tongue nice.
[0:46:05 – 0:46:06] Adam: No, it’s gross.
[0:46:06 – 0:46:06] Adam: It’s nasty.
[0:46:06 – 0:46:07] Erik: I’m not even going to vote.
[0:46:10 – 0:46:12] Erik: I’m so upset about that matchup.
[0:46:12 – 0:46:15] Erik: It should have been Lakers versus Johnson Falls.
[0:46:15 – 0:46:22] Adam: Well, these things don’t always go your way, and that’s fine because I don’t think either of those teams is making it to the championship.
[0:46:22 – 0:46:25] Erik: No, at this point, it’s a smooth…
[0:46:25 – 0:46:29] Adam: I’m thinking the winner of Moose versus Milky is cruising.
[0:46:29 – 0:46:32] Erik: Moose versus Milky is in the championship, no doubt.
[0:46:33 – 0:46:35] Adam: And then down in the west here in Ely…
[0:46:36 – 0:46:39] Adam: We got loons versus wool shirt.
[0:46:40 – 0:46:41] Adam: Two of the lower seeds left.
[0:46:43 – 0:46:52] Adam: Wool shirt just continues to smother their opponents in warmth and comfort, which they cannot escape, even if they tried.
[0:46:52 – 0:46:54] Adam: They’re so soft and lovely.
[0:46:55 – 0:47:03] Adam: And then up top, the defending champions, Northern Lights with KP Index, Reverse Polarity, and Steve.
[0:47:03 – 0:47:04] Adam: Steve.
[0:47:04 – 0:47:05] Adam: They had a three-pronged approach.
[0:47:06 – 0:47:10] Adam: Coach Berglund sitting up in the heavens.
[0:47:10 – 0:47:11] Adam: Out of nowhere.
[0:47:11 – 0:47:13] Adam: Dashing electrons into the magnometer.
[0:47:13 – 0:47:14] Adam: Where did Steve come from?
[0:47:15 – 0:47:15] Adam: Sick.
[0:47:15 – 0:47:16] Adam: And then…
[0:47:16 – 0:47:22] Adam: Dead Calm Reflections, almost the perfect opponent to shine their own light back at them.
[0:47:23 – 0:47:24] Adam: Going to be interesting there.
[0:47:25 – 0:47:29] Adam: I don’t see how Dead Calm Reflections can remain so calm, Eric.
[0:47:30 – 0:47:31] Erik: I don’t either.
[0:47:31 – 0:47:36] Erik: I mean, if there is any team that can take out the Northern Lights, it is the Dead Calm Reflections.
[0:47:36 – 0:47:42] Erik: But if Northern Lights makes it through, I think it’s to the championship for them.
[0:47:42 – 0:47:43] Erik: And then anything can happen.
[0:47:43 – 0:47:44] Adam: Absolutely.
[0:47:44 – 0:47:50] Adam: We’ve shown the voters can be very fickle.
[0:47:50 – 0:47:55] Erik: Yeah, well, I mean, there was that meme on the subreddit of the George Clooney’s tuna boat.
[0:47:56 – 0:48:00] Erik: My predictions and then the wave was the will of the voters.
[0:48:00 – 0:48:04] Adam: Yeah, you know, we think we’ve been doing tumble home for three plus years at this point.
[0:48:04 – 0:48:10] Adam: This is two now years of good data on tumble tourney voting patterns.
[0:48:10 – 0:48:16] Adam: And we as expert insiders still obviously have no idea what the people want and what they will do.
[0:48:17 – 0:48:18] Adam: But this is the beauty of Tumble Home.
[0:48:19 – 0:48:20] Adam: We all get what we want in the end.
[0:48:21 – 0:48:22] Adam: Or do we?
[0:48:22 – 0:48:23] Erik: No, we don’t.
[0:48:24 – 0:48:28] Adam: Eric, did you know that the upvote button on Reddit is a box of wine?
[0:48:29 – 0:48:30] Adam: This is incredible.
[0:48:30 – 0:48:31] Adam: They’re not through.
[0:48:31 – 0:48:32] Erik: It’s been like that.
[0:48:32 – 0:48:36] Adam: No Coghlan’s product even made the tournament, which is ridiculous.
[0:48:36 – 0:48:37] Erik: Which is ridiculous.
[0:48:37 – 0:48:39] Adam: Yeah, unless the Coglins make a bucket hat, they might.
[0:48:40 – 0:48:41] Adam: All right, it’s time.
[0:48:41 – 0:48:42] Adam: It is time, folks.
[0:48:42 – 0:48:45] Adam: Everybody knows it for our Locks of the Week.
[0:48:45 – 0:48:53] Adam: We get to make our Locks of the Week first, and then Reddit gets to go ahead and absolutely pile on the opponent of whatever we lock on.
[0:48:53 – 0:48:59] Adam: Although, I got to say, Reddit has been unable to derail the whole shirts quite yet.
[0:48:59 – 0:49:00] Adam: So, take that.
[0:49:01 – 0:49:01] Erik: Soft lock.
[0:49:02 – 0:49:03] Adam: Will I do it again?
[0:49:03 – 0:49:03] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:49:03 – 0:49:08] Adam: We’re going to let Eric go first on his lock of the week, and then I will let you in on my secrets.
[0:49:09 – 0:49:11] Erik: What are you going with?
[0:49:11 – 0:49:17] Erik: I’m going with my lock of the week is white pine over rainflies because I want them to die.
[0:49:17 – 0:49:20] Adam: You’re just going against rainflies hard.
[0:49:20 – 0:49:40] Erik: yes i hope a massive like rainflies a massive branch comes snapping just that’s the way that white pines should dispose of rainfly not an active little pine cones and needles no just and also not an actively using their live parts but just a dead branch that falls off just dropped
[0:49:41 – 0:49:44] Erik: I can use a part of me that I don’t need anymore to destroy you.
[0:49:44 – 0:49:47] Adam: I’m surprised you’re using your lock of the week on the matchup you don’t want to watch, though.
[0:49:48 – 0:49:52] Adam: That’s how strongly he feels about the rainflies making it to the Elite Eight.
[0:49:54 – 0:49:54] Erik: Final four.
[0:49:55 – 0:49:55] Erik: I can understand.
[0:49:55 – 0:49:56] Erik: They’re not going to the final four.
[0:49:56 – 0:49:58] Adam: Yeah, White Pine are definitely.
[0:49:58 – 0:49:58] Adam: I agree with you.
[0:49:59 – 0:50:01] Adam: I think the White Pine have this in hand.
[0:50:01 – 0:50:05] Adam: Were they not the highest vote getter in the second round?
[0:50:05 – 0:50:05] Adam: I think they were.
[0:50:06 – 0:50:07] Adam: Yeah, 191.
[0:50:08 – 0:50:09] Adam: See, there you go.
[0:50:10 – 0:50:16] Adam: I’m going to stick in the East for my lock of the week, but I’m going to the bottom bracket here, and I’m going…
[0:50:17 – 0:50:20] Adam: With Milky over Moose is my lock of the week.
[0:50:21 – 0:50:28] Adam: If we’re going galactic as we get farther into this tournament, I say dead calm reflection, sure.
[0:50:28 – 0:50:44] Adam: They might have a chance to just reflect the Northern Lights’ own majesty and glory back at them, but the only thing really truly greater and on the same scale as Northern Lights at this point in the tournament is the Milky Way, and actually it dwarfs them.
[0:50:44 – 0:50:44] Adam: It dwarfs them.
[0:50:45 – 0:50:50] Adam: You just imagine how many different kinds of Borealis are out there in the Milky Way itself.
[0:50:52 – 0:50:55] Adam: And it’s still something we can see with our own naked eyes.
[0:50:55 – 0:51:07] Adam: So much as I love the moose, I’m going to go with the Milky Way over the moose as my galactic lock of the week.
[0:51:08 – 0:51:11] Erik: That’s a hard lock off the soft lock.
[0:51:11 – 0:51:15] Adam: Yeah, I’m still wearing my wool shirt, and I believe in them.
[0:51:15 – 0:51:20] Adam: But that 9 versus 14 matchup over there, it’s a little too controversial.
[0:51:20 – 0:51:21] Adam: That’s a little wacky.
[0:51:21 – 0:51:22] Adam: I don’t even want to dabble.
[0:51:22 – 0:51:25] Adam: I’m not sticking my old dead toe in that matchup.
[0:51:25 – 0:51:27] Adam: I wouldn’t put any money on either of those jeans.
[0:51:27 – 0:51:29] Adam: Why would you stick your dead toe in any matchup?
[0:51:29 – 0:51:30] Adam: It makes no sense.
[0:51:30 – 0:51:31] Adam: It doesn’t.
[0:51:31 – 0:51:32] Adam: Is this also part of Hoosiers?
[0:51:32 – 0:51:33] Adam: Because I hope it is.
[0:51:33 – 0:51:35] Adam: Do they have a deal with a toe?
[0:51:36 – 0:51:38] Erik: I don’t think there’s any toe action.
[0:51:38 – 0:51:40] Adam: I can get you a toe with nail polish.
[0:51:40 – 0:51:41] Adam: I think that’s from Hoosiers.
[0:51:42 – 0:51:45] Erik: I think Dennis Hopper is in it as an alcoholic.
[0:51:45 – 0:51:49] Adam: Jackie Treehorn is the guy who dribbles it off his foot at the end.
[0:51:49 – 0:51:49] Adam: Is this right?
[0:51:49 – 0:51:50] Adam: Yeah, as a teen.
[0:51:50 – 0:51:54] Adam: We’re just having a nice little beach community here in Hoosier land.
[0:51:55 – 0:51:57] Adam: All right, so that’s our Locks of the Week.
[0:51:57 – 0:52:01] Adam: We’re going with White Pine to meet up with Milky Way over there in the east.
[0:52:02 – 0:52:13] Adam: We’re assuming Northern Lights will overcome the dead calm reflections, and it’s anyone’s guess, although the loons certainly seem to have the momentum and the love of the people, as they should.
[0:52:14 – 0:52:20] Adam: Eric has promised if they made it through, we will start next week’s episode with live loon calling.
[0:52:20 – 0:52:21] Adam: We’re back to open water.
[0:52:22 – 0:52:23] Adam: The river has melted, Eric.
[0:52:23 – 0:52:25] Adam: It’s not so much melted as thawed.
[0:52:26 – 0:52:28] Adam: Either way, there’s liquid water in the backyard.
[0:52:29 – 0:52:29] Adam: There is.
[0:52:29 – 0:52:29] Adam: This will be okay.
[0:52:30 – 0:52:38] Erik: So just as a reminder, if you’re listening to this, you’ve got roughly two days to vote.
[0:52:39 – 0:52:45] Erik: I know last year some folks got bamboozled into not realizing it was another full week.
[0:52:46 – 0:52:46] Erik: It is not.
[0:52:46 – 0:52:47] Erik: Can’t wait around.
[0:52:47 – 0:52:49] Erik: This semifinals…
[0:52:49 – 0:52:52] Erik: to go to the Final Four in Ely.
[0:52:52 – 0:52:54] Erik: That ends Wednesday night at midnight.
[0:52:55 – 0:53:03] Adam: You want to get your incognito browser up and vote as many times as possible before Wednesday, and then do it all again before Saturday night for the finals.
[0:53:03 – 0:53:07] Erik: And then Saturday night does decide the finals, and we will be back.
[0:53:08 – 0:53:24] Erik: talking live through those two matchups, and then we’ll leave the finals voting up for a full week, and we’ll be back the first Sunday in April with the champion of the Tumble Attorney 2021 XXMM1.
[0:53:29 – 0:53:31] Adam: This moving picture is juicy IPA.
[0:53:32 – 0:53:35] Adam: I’m giving it a 5 out of 4 mmms.
[0:53:35 – 0:53:43] Erik: I’m giving this grain belt nor at ease 4.7 alcohols out of volumes.
[0:53:45 – 0:53:45] Erik: Sweet.
[0:53:46 – 0:53:47] Erik: Pretty sweet.
[0:53:48 – 0:53:52] Adam: It could be real good for me and Margie and Scotty, you know.
[0:53:53 – 0:53:54] Erik: Jeannie and Scotty don’t have to worry.
[0:53:57 – 0:54:05] Erik: From the Insider’s Desk, this has been Tumble Home, a Tumble Tourney production.
[0:54:06 – 0:54:09] Erik: I have been Eric, joined as always by Adam.
[0:54:10 – 0:54:15] Erik: Looking forward to covering this tournament going forward with you all into the future.
[0:54:17 – 0:54:18] Adam: Put the circle in the catchy.
[0:54:18 – 0:54:21] Adam: Good night, mates.
[0:54:22 – 0:54:22] Adam: Why?
[0:54:26 – 0:54:27] Adam: Put the circuit in the catchy.
[0:54:28 – 0:54:30] SPEAKER_00: You gotta put that circuit in the catchy.
[0:54:31 – 0:54:32] Erik: Happy paddling.
[0:54:32 – 0:54:34] Erik: Arrivederci.
[0:54:35 – 0:54:37] Erik: Every day is precious and life is a miracle.
[0:54:37 – 0:54:40] Erik: Down to the rainflies.
[0:54:41 – 0:54:43] Erik: If they make the final four, I’m quitting.
[0:54:43 – 0:54:45] SPEAKER_00: No, no, no, no, no, no.
[0:55:23 – 0:55:25] UNKNOWN: Thank you.
