[0:01:12 – 0:01:13] Erik: We are lit.
[0:01:15 – 0:01:24] Erik: If you’re watching us on YouTube, we are lit by a single candle, and things are a little dark, but that’s what happens when you start at 7.05.

[0:01:46 – 0:01:48] Erik: Thank you, Ron Sheridan.

[0:01:52 – 0:01:53] Adam: Full moon tomorrow.
[0:01:53 – 0:01:53] Adam: Check that.
[0:01:54 – 0:01:59] Erik: Yeah, since the government’s messing with our clocks, you never know what time the sun’s going to set.
[0:02:03 – 0:02:04] Erik: Just look away.
[0:02:04 – 0:02:05] Erik: I know.
[0:02:05 – 0:02:06] Erik: Look away.
[0:02:06 – 0:02:07] Adam British-ish: Let me check my notes on that.
[0:02:07 – 0:02:09] Erik: Yeah, it checks out.
[0:02:10 – 0:02:12] Adam: It circled the full moon there.
[0:02:14 – 0:02:22] Erik: Yeah, we are sponsored, as always, by our fine, fine friends on Patreon.
[0:02:23 – 0:02:24] Erik: That’s a little song.
[0:02:24 – 0:02:25] Erik: I’ve been working on that one for a while.
[0:02:26 – 0:02:28] Adam: It’s got a lot of potential, for sure.
[0:02:28 – 0:02:29] Erik: I think it does.
[0:02:29 – 0:02:29] Erik: I really do.
[0:02:30 – 0:02:39] Erik: This week on Tumble Home Cinema Classics, we are audibling to watch… Time out!
[0:02:39 – 0:02:41] Adam: That was a terrible call!
[0:02:41 – 0:02:42] Erik: A basketball movie?
[0:02:44 – 0:02:45] Erik: That you had not seen.
[0:02:45 – 0:02:45] Erik: I had not.
[0:02:46 – 0:02:47] Erik: Hoosiers.
[0:02:48 – 0:02:49] Erik: It’s gray.
[0:02:49 – 0:02:49] Erik: It’s foggy.
[0:02:50 – 0:02:52] Erik: It’s kind of good.
[0:02:52 – 0:02:57] Erik: We’re going to talk about that this week on Tumble Home Cinema Classics.
[0:02:57 – 0:03:00] Erik: We’re running a little late today in our schedule.
[0:03:00 – 0:03:02] Erik: I literally got over here five minutes ago.
[0:03:02 – 0:03:07] Erik: I ate half of a frozen pizza off of a paper plate with one hand while driving over here.
[0:03:08 – 0:03:13] Erik: One hand pizza, other hand Pepsi, Fuller style from Home Alone.
[0:03:13 – 0:03:13] Erik: What?
[0:03:14 – 0:03:15] Adam: Who’s driving?
[0:03:15 – 0:03:15] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:03:15 – 0:03:16] Adam: In the slush, too.
[0:03:16 – 0:03:17] Adam: There’s slush everywhere.
[0:03:17 – 0:03:19] Adam: It’s snowing like crazy now.
[0:03:19 – 0:03:19] Erik: Yeah?
[0:03:20 – 0:03:24] Adam: I put up all the baskets for the disc golf course a couple days ago, and now it’s snowing again.
[0:03:24 – 0:03:25] Adam: It’s my fault.
[0:03:25 – 0:03:25] Adam: I’m sorry.
[0:03:27 – 0:03:28] Adam: I mean, lousy, smart weather.
[0:03:28 – 0:03:29] Adam: Am I right?
[0:03:30 – 0:03:31] Adam: We’re going to get at least four more of these.
[0:03:31 – 0:03:33] Adam: I don’t know why they upset me anymore.
[0:03:33 – 0:03:38] Erik: I mean, the main issue with it is just the actual driving conditions in snow like this.
[0:03:38 – 0:03:43] Adam: Yeah, plus it knocked out all the lights in this studio, so that’s why we’re coming to you by candlelight.
[0:03:44 – 0:03:45] Adam: No lights.
[0:03:45 – 0:03:46] Adam: I don’t know how we’re even getting the internet to work.
[0:03:46 – 0:03:48] Erik: The soft, soft candles.
[0:03:50 – 0:03:51] Adam: Your hair’s looking good, by the way.
[0:03:52 – 0:03:55] Erik: Yeah, I’m just a black void underneath it on the video.
[0:03:57 – 0:03:59] Adam: You’re in a hurry, but your hair says you’re right on time.
[0:03:59 – 0:04:01] Adam: I can put a hat on for some color.
[0:04:02 – 0:04:03] Adam: Oh, you ruined it.
[0:04:04 – 0:04:05] Erik: No, did I ruin it?
[0:04:07 – 0:04:31] Adam: yep okay it was looking good all right it was looking good our today on tumble home sports network we are covering uh elite eight and final four matchups two weeks in one it’s a two for one here tonight on tsn oh we went one week without a sponsor oh boy
[0:04:35 – 0:04:35] Erik: Oh, boy.
[0:04:35 – 0:04:38] Erik: I should say a sponsor in the form of a gift from a listener.
[0:04:39 – 0:04:41] Erik: Last week, we had to buy our own beer.
[0:04:41 – 0:04:42] Erik: I mean, what?
[0:04:43 – 0:04:44] Adam: We got to do a better job, Eric.
[0:04:46 – 0:04:52] Erik: Somebody that was listening heard that we were getting close to being out of sponsors and shipped us beer.
[0:04:52 – 0:04:55] Erik: I mean, art supplies.
[0:04:55 – 0:04:57] Erik: And it was very well done.
[0:04:57 – 0:05:00] Erik: It was in a nice little styrofoam cooler.
[0:05:00 – 0:05:01] Erik: Nicely boxed up.
[0:05:01 – 0:05:03] Erik: It didn’t say anything crazy on it.
[0:05:04 – 0:05:05] Erik: And it got to us safe and sound.
[0:05:06 – 0:05:07] Erik: Also, cans.
[0:05:07 – 0:05:09] Erik: Shipping cans is good.
[0:05:11 – 0:05:12] Erik: And these are from…
[0:05:15 – 0:05:16] Erik: Scott and Sarah.
[0:05:16 – 0:05:17] Erik: We’ve got a couple of different beers.
[0:05:17 – 0:05:22] Erik: We’re going to start with the Indeed Brewing Pistachio Cream Ale.
[0:05:23 – 0:05:24] Erik: Doesn’t sound good.
[0:05:25 – 0:05:25] UNKNOWN: What?
[0:05:26 – 0:05:27] Erik: Sounds amazing.
[0:05:27 – 0:05:28] Erik: But it does taste good.
[0:05:29 – 0:05:29] Erik: I’ve had it.
[0:05:29 – 0:05:30] Erik: I know it’s good.
[0:05:30 – 0:05:32] Erik: It doesn’t sound good on the get-go.
[0:05:32 – 0:05:32] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:05:32 – 0:05:34] Adam British-ish: Chip Cheerio, mate.
[0:05:35 – 0:05:38] Adam: My accents are not working this year at all.
[0:05:41 – 0:05:44] Erik: I don’t think you need to worry about your accents and being in lockstep.
[0:05:46 – 0:05:51] Adam: Yeah, I saw the color right away of the can, and then I turned it, and it said pistachio on there.
[0:05:51 – 0:05:52] Adam: I was instantly excited.
[0:05:52 – 0:05:58] Adam: This is going to get two oh yeahs and four heck yeahs.
[0:05:58 – 0:06:00] Adam: Does that equal six out of five?
[0:06:00 – 0:06:01] Adam: Six out of five.
[0:06:01 – 0:06:02] Adam: Oh, boy.
[0:06:02 – 0:06:02] Adam: Big fan.
[0:06:04 – 0:06:09] Erik: Big fan, yeah, I’ve had a couple of tall boys of these, a couple of pints off the tap.
[0:06:09 – 0:06:32] Erik: This, indeed, pistachio cream ale is a special treat of a beer, although on first glance, yeah, not a beer, not a combination of flavors that I thought would make sense in my mouth, but there’s been few things that have made that much sense in my mouth.
[0:06:32 – 0:06:35] Adam: Pretty much anything goes with cream, Eric.
[0:06:39 – 0:06:40] Erik: And pistachio, though.
[0:06:41 – 0:06:41] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:06:42 – 0:06:44] Erik: It’s not that pistachio-y.
[0:06:47 – 0:06:48] Erik: It’s there, but I don’t know.
[0:06:49 – 0:07:01] Erik: When flavor companies take pistachio and inject them into… Because there’s puddings and pistachio sweet desserts.
[0:07:01 – 0:07:03] Erik: It doesn’t taste like a pistachio nut.
[0:07:03 – 0:07:05] Adam: I don’t know what it is.
[0:07:05 – 0:07:07] Adam: It’s not nutty enough.
[0:07:08 – 0:07:15] Erik: It’s like grapes versus what fruity grape candy tastes like, which is not what a grape tastes like.
[0:07:15 – 0:07:18] Erik: They’ve come up with their own flavor for pistachio.
[0:07:20 – 0:07:26] Erik: Welcome to the tumble tourney where the conversations can take you wherever you want.
[0:07:27 – 0:07:28] Adam: Who’s on the chat?
[0:07:29 – 0:07:32] Erik: There’s almost 20 people on the live YouTube chat.
[0:07:33 – 0:07:34] Erik: Thank you for joining us.
[0:07:34 – 0:07:36] Erik: We’ve got some intense coverage.
[0:07:37 – 0:07:42] Erik: I tried really hard to not check in on the Elite 8 results this week.
[0:07:42 – 0:07:43] Erik: Yeah.
[0:07:43 – 0:07:49] Erik: We had to adjust it next year so that it’s just a separate episode because it’s really hard to like, well, I want to vote.
[0:07:50 – 0:07:51] Adam: Yeah, I wanted to vote, so I looked.
[0:07:51 – 0:07:52] Erik: So I did as well.
[0:07:53 – 0:08:01] Erik: And so I know who’s in the Final Four, but I did not investigate into the scores.
[0:08:01 – 0:08:05] Adam: So when did the Final Four results conclude?
[0:08:05 – 0:08:06] Adam: At 7?
[0:08:06 – 0:08:08] Erik: No, the Final Four resulted…
[0:08:09 – 0:08:11] Erik: The finals of the Final Four… Who went to the Final Four was Wednesday.
[0:08:12 – 0:08:14] Erik: Who’s in the finals was at 4.30.
[0:08:14 – 0:08:15] Erik: Oh, I meant the finals.
[0:08:15 – 0:08:16] Adam: 4.30.
[0:08:16 – 0:08:16] Adam: It’s been three hours.
[0:08:16 – 0:08:17] Erik: So I could have looked.
[0:08:18 – 0:08:19] Erik: Yeah, people could be…
[0:08:19 – 0:08:23] Erik: There could be listeners in the chat spoiling us right now.
[0:08:24 – 0:08:28] Adam: We got our nice candle here, and we’re in the dark.
[0:08:29 – 0:08:29] Adam: Yes.
[0:08:29 – 0:08:30] Adam: For real.
[0:08:32 – 0:08:33] Adam: Is it working?
[0:08:33 – 0:08:34] Adam: It’s still working.
[0:08:35 – 0:08:38] Adam: We’re always 10 minutes in, and you got to check to make sure it’s still working.
[0:08:38 – 0:08:38] Adam: It is.
[0:08:39 – 0:08:46] Adam: You know, these beer sponsors are really one of my favorite parts of the entire show, Eric.
[0:08:47 – 0:08:53] Adam: These specifically, or just… No, just that people mail us beer randomly from all over the place.
[0:08:54 – 0:08:55] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:08:55 – 0:08:56] Erik: How the hell did this even begin?
[0:08:56 – 0:08:57] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:08:57 – 0:08:58] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:08:58 – 0:09:00] Adam: We got ourselves a real good racket going here.
[0:09:01 – 0:09:02] Adam: I do it just for the beers, basically.
[0:09:03 – 0:09:08] Adam: I mean, I like hanging out with you and chatting and doing trips and whatnot, but…
[0:09:08 – 0:09:10] Erik: I don’t even have my mic in, my ear mic.
[0:09:10 – 0:09:11] Erik: I can’t tell.
[0:09:11 – 0:09:12] Erik: Maybe there’s breaking news.
[0:09:13 – 0:09:14] Adam: Yeah, mine’s not in either.
[0:09:14 – 0:09:16] Erik: There is no breaking news.
[0:09:16 – 0:09:16] Adam: Good.
[0:09:17 – 0:09:18] Adam: Did they get that boat unstuck yet?
[0:09:19 – 0:09:20] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:09:20 – 0:09:22] Adam: Floaty boy is stuck.
[0:09:22 – 0:09:49] Erik: uh yeah no i mean we’ve talked i talk about this at uh almost a daily basis with people like clear water where they’re like yeah that’s crazy my b i’m like my beer fridge is full to the brim as they’re handing me more beer you got a real problem there bud huh i understand it’s not a real problem but i mean it’s probably the best part of the whole show though at this point yeah joke that started as us we bought the first couple at least
[0:09:49 – 0:09:59] Adam: We were just jokingly sponsored by the beers, and then that joke turned into what is now considered the greatest art supply pipeline in North America.
[0:09:59 – 0:10:03] Erik: Not enough… What’s the word?
[0:10:03 – 0:10:03] Erik: Um…
[0:10:05 – 0:10:35] Erik: paul is the one that started this and not enough the word it’s credit goes to paul for starting the shout out starting the meme sponsorship physical liquids canned liquid beer in our hands started that almost three years ago now and it’s still going strong yeah i mean it really opened my eyes
[0:10:37 – 0:10:38] Adam: to the good that’s in the world.
[0:10:39 – 0:10:41] Erik: There’s still good out there.
[0:10:41 – 0:10:49] Adam: When those riches started pouring in and now we’re going on three years of doing this show, I mean, it’s just wild.
[0:10:50 – 0:10:53] Adam: Well, I’m assuming… We’re having a lot of fun here.
[0:10:53 – 0:10:55] Erik: We’re having just a little bit of fun.
[0:10:55 – 0:11:01] Erik: I’m assuming most people that are listening and most people that are watching on YouTube know who’s in the final four.
[0:11:01 – 0:11:08] Erik: But if you were looking forward to going in clean into two full rounds, we’re going to get into it.
[0:11:08 – 0:11:09] Adam: We won’t spoil anything.
[0:11:10 – 0:11:12] Erik: We’re going to start with our… Let’s get it on!
[0:11:15 – 0:11:18] Erik: Greg’s Sweet 16 Rockers.
[0:11:19 – 0:11:23] Erik: We’ve got this week’s Locks of the Week.
[0:11:23 – 0:11:25] Erik: This is from the Sweet 16.
[0:11:26 – 0:11:36] Erik: We’ll start here off of the subreddit and move into the final four for a quick turnaround because the voting got halved.
[0:11:37 – 0:11:45] Erik: The finals will be a full week just because it deserves all of the buildup, all of the meme-erage.
[0:11:46 – 0:11:50] Adam: If anything, next year we should do the first round and second round all in one week.
[0:11:51 – 0:11:52] Adam: Cut it down there.
[0:11:52 – 0:11:58] Adam: That would capture the true glory of the beginning, the opening of the tournament, and the craziness.
[0:11:59 – 0:12:01] Erik: But there’s so much to talk about in the first two rounds.
[0:12:01 – 0:12:03] Adam: Yeah, but half those teams are always pretenders anyways.
[0:12:04 – 0:12:05] Adam: We don’t need to spend that much.
[0:12:05 – 0:12:11] Adam: We should spend less time talking about the Svensa’s and more time talking about Christian Berkland and the Empire.
[0:12:12 – 0:12:12] Adam: Yeah.
[0:12:13 – 0:12:16] Adam: Yeah, the empire builders will see if they can…
[0:12:16 – 0:12:17] Adam: I mean that in a good way.
[0:12:17 – 0:12:18] Erik: Yeah, I do too.
[0:12:18 – 0:12:21] Adam: I may have come off a little off, but I meant it in a nice way.
[0:12:21 – 0:12:23] Erik: Do you want to read some of these rock lockers?
[0:12:23 – 0:12:23] Erik: Yeah, I do.
[0:12:24 – 0:12:26] Erik: All right, well, I’ll start, and then you’re going to have to use one.
[0:12:26 – 0:12:28] Erik: Well, you’ve got an Apple device.
[0:12:28 – 0:12:29] Erik: Now, you know how they work.
[0:12:30 – 0:12:33] Erik: I used to have to explain that to you before when you had that old Nokia.
[0:12:35 – 0:12:40] Erik: This is from DirtyDadBod523, or you can pull it up on your side.
[0:12:41 – 0:12:48] Erik: We’re fluid here in Studio K. Rock, talk, and ready to lock.
[0:12:48 – 0:12:51] Erik: I’ve got one lock and only one key.
[0:12:52 – 0:12:53] Erik: It is the black and white.
[0:12:53 – 0:12:55] Erik: I don’t know why I just put another third finger up.
[0:12:55 – 0:13:01] Erik: It is the black and white, the high flyers, the beautiful, the bold, the loon calls.
[0:13:02 – 0:13:03] Erik: Hashtag lunatics.
[0:13:03 – 0:13:06] Erik: Hashtag call on you loons.
[0:13:07 – 0:13:09] Adam: I’m down with hashtag lunatics.
[0:13:09 – 0:13:09] Adam: I am.
[0:13:09 – 0:13:09] Adam: For sure.
[0:13:10 – 0:13:11] Adam: Oh, it sounds like…
[0:13:11 – 0:13:11] Adam: Call on you loons.
[0:13:12 – 0:13:14] Adam: It sounds like something you’d hear at, like, Anfield.
[0:13:15 – 0:13:16] Adam British-ish: Call on you loons.
[0:13:16 – 0:13:17] Adam British-ish: Oh, yeah.
[0:13:17 – 0:13:18] Erik: You will never walk alone.
[0:13:18 – 0:13:19] Adam: You will never walk alone.
[0:13:19 – 0:13:20] Adam: Yeah, exactly.
[0:13:24 – 0:13:31] Erik: Yeah, that Dirty Dad Bod, I started the show with just a little tease.
[0:13:31 – 0:13:36] Erik: I’ve been watching BattleBots Season 5 lately.
[0:13:36 – 0:13:37] Erik: It’s so good.
[0:13:37 – 0:13:38] Erik: It’s so good.
[0:13:39 – 0:13:42] Adam: I remember the original run of BattleBots.
[0:13:42 – 0:13:43] Adam: They got air battles now?
[0:13:43 – 0:13:44] Erik: That’s what I’m saying.
[0:13:45 – 0:13:50] Erik: I used to watch BattleBots when it was in its infancy, and it was like a bunch of cardboard.
[0:13:50 – 0:13:52] Adam: It was like a little helmet with a hammer.
[0:13:52 – 0:13:53] Erik: Yeah.
[0:13:53 – 0:14:01] Erik: Like sheet metal and just like constantly just… And it was in like standard vision on the tube TV where you’re like, I don’t know what’s happening.
[0:14:01 – 0:14:03] Erik: It’s so much better than that now.
[0:14:03 – 0:14:04] Erik: It’s intense.
[0:14:04 – 0:14:06] Erik: And it’s super hyper definition.
[0:14:07 – 0:14:10] Erik: And the robots are amazing.
[0:14:10 – 0:14:12] Erik: But there’s also like really crazy ones that…
[0:14:13 – 0:14:15] Erik: Back in the day, it was like a box with four wheels.
[0:14:15 – 0:14:15] Erik: Yeah.
[0:14:16 – 0:14:20] Erik: The robots that are in this last season that just finished are crazy.
[0:14:21 – 0:14:23] Adam: I like the one with the flipper, the pancake flipper.
[0:14:24 – 0:14:24] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:14:24 – 0:14:25] Adam: Get underneath you, it’ll flip you.
[0:14:25 – 0:14:26] Erik: There’s a bunch of flippers.
[0:14:26 – 0:14:28] Erik: There’s all kinds of different styles.
[0:14:28 – 0:14:28] Adam: Oh, wow.
[0:14:28 – 0:14:29] Erik: Yeah.
[0:14:29 – 0:14:29] Erik: Yeah.
[0:14:29 – 0:14:32] Erik: I’m totally anti-hammer.
[0:14:32 – 0:14:34] Erik: There’s a bunch of hammer bots.
[0:14:34 – 0:14:36] Erik: I don’t think the hammer bots ever do well.
[0:14:36 – 0:14:39] Erik: I’m all on board with Team Flip.
[0:14:40 – 0:14:40] Erik: I like flippers.
[0:14:40 – 0:14:53] Erik: I have not finished the season, but I’m hoping that Hydra goes far because he can flip robots to the ceiling of the cage.
[0:14:53 – 0:14:55] Adam: How are they powering these things?
[0:14:55 – 0:14:55] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:14:56 – 0:14:56] Erik: You got to tune in.
[0:14:56 – 0:14:57] Erik: Check it out.
[0:14:57 – 0:15:06] Erik: But what I was saying is DirtyDadBot523, the way he was describing the loons was very reminiscent to Farouk, who introduces all the matches.
[0:15:07 – 0:15:11] Erik: And he comes up with little rhymes and poems about the teams.
[0:15:12 – 0:15:14] Erik: Anyway, we’re not talking BattleBots.
[0:15:14 – 0:15:15] Erik: That’s our next podcast.
[0:15:16 – 0:15:20] Erik: You can read the response from Ghost of Ed Abbey.
[0:15:22 – 0:15:24] Adam: We got eight boxes of wine on this comment.
[0:15:25 – 0:15:25] Adam: Great job.
[0:15:26 – 0:15:26] Erik: Great job.
[0:15:27 – 0:15:32] Adam: The rainfly looked good early, but I felt like they underperformed against a struggling Johnson Falls.
[0:15:32 – 0:15:39] Adam: Meanwhile, White Pine held firm against the Red Hot Lakers, despite what the guest voters from our BWCA thought.
[0:15:40 – 0:15:40] Erik: Guest voters.
[0:15:41 – 0:15:42] Adam: You’re going to bleep that out, right?
[0:15:43 – 0:15:43] Adam: Yeah, I got it.
[0:15:43 – 0:15:45] Adam: I’m taking the majestic trees this round.
[0:15:45 – 0:15:46] Adam: Let’s be honest.
[0:15:46 – 0:15:49] Adam: The rainfly is just a sad ground cloth without the trees.
[0:15:50 – 0:15:51] Adam: That is true.
[0:15:51 – 0:15:52] Adam: Truer words were nair spoke.
[0:15:54 – 0:16:20] Adam: edit oh we have an update edit adding a cinnabar spicy level rock lock despite the seating going out the window for large portions of this tourney the elite eight will stabilize with all four matchups seeing the higher seed move on moose has a tough game against the milky way but the relative scarcity of moose sightings the past few years has the voters thirsty for an encounter i know i am
[0:16:21 – 0:16:47] Adam: thirsty for an encounter everybody is thirsty i straight up have not seen a moose in two and a half years and we’re going to the twin ports yesterday and natalie saw one like uh just on a side road on 61 i almost turned around i was like no i i was like slowing the car down and i was like no it’s it’s not gonna be there by the time we get back yeah it’s always then we would have lost three minutes in our time to the twin ports
[0:16:48 – 0:17:09] Adam: well can’t have that you can tell us all about the anchor burger on uh at the end of the show at the end of the show i’ll tell you about my anchor burger there you go uh anchor burger experience yeah it was pretty magical do they still have the booby traps in the floor at the robot battle pit oh yeah like the things that come up and grab you and
[0:17:11 – 0:17:15] Adam: Didn’t they used to have little things that would come at you out of the floor?
[0:17:15 – 0:17:17] Adam: I didn’t like that part.
[0:17:17 – 0:17:18] Adam: I didn’t like that part.
[0:17:18 – 0:17:18] Adam: It wasn’t fair.
[0:17:19 – 0:17:20] Erik: Well, hammer bots suck.
[0:17:20 – 0:17:25] Erik: Also, just regular old circular saw blades that come down.
[0:17:25 – 0:17:27] Adam: They never do anything.
[0:17:27 – 0:17:31] Adam: Those are like the trapper keeper of BattleBot.
[0:17:31 – 0:17:32] Erik: Yeah, they’re never strong enough.
[0:17:32 – 0:17:34] Erik: Just the straight up regular blades.
[0:17:34 – 0:17:38] Adam: The hammer boys could always kind of flip themselves back over with their hammer.
[0:17:38 – 0:17:41] Erik: Well, that’s also partially the reason to have the hammer.
[0:17:41 – 0:17:42] Adam: Yeah, why can’t you have it all?
[0:17:43 – 0:17:44] Erik Announcer Voice: Yeah, well…
[0:17:44 – 0:17:46] Adam: And I’m using flames these days.
[0:17:46 – 0:17:47] Adam: A lot of flames still.
[0:17:47 – 0:17:56] Erik: It’s not as popular as it used to be, but you can use those flames to melt belts, which will disassociate a main weapon.
[0:17:56 – 0:17:57] Erik: Oh, my.
[0:17:57 – 0:17:57] Erik: Yeah.
[0:17:58 – 0:18:17] Erik: There are still the floor circular blades that come up, and then there’s also some hammers in the corners that are controlled by opposite teams, and then there’s also just these random spinning grinding screw grabbers that you always need to push people into.
[0:18:18 – 0:18:22] Erik: The one thing that is different, though, from what I remember, is you have a 250-pound limit to your bot, right?
[0:18:25 – 0:18:31] Erik: And if you go under that, you can use that difference in weight to make other little side bots or drones.
[0:18:32 – 0:18:33] Adam: Oh, no.
[0:18:33 – 0:18:33] Adam: To go against.
[0:18:34 – 0:18:36] Adam: Oh, well.
[0:18:36 – 0:18:36] Adam: They always get.
[0:18:36 – 0:18:40] Adam: Could you like get 251 pound bots going?
[0:18:40 – 0:18:40] Erik: You could.
[0:18:41 – 0:18:41] Erik: There’s a swarm.
[0:18:42 – 0:18:42] Erik: There was one team.
[0:18:42 – 0:18:44] Adam: This sounds like a Michael Crichton novel.
[0:18:44 – 0:18:44] Adam: Yeah.
[0:18:44 – 0:18:45] Adam: I think it is.
[0:18:46 – 0:18:46] Erik: Maybe.
[0:18:46 – 0:18:47] Erik: Is this Prey?
[0:18:48 – 0:18:50] Adam: Anybody in the comments know what I’m talking about?
[0:18:50 – 0:18:53] Erik: Welcome to BattleBotCast.
[0:18:54 – 0:18:57] Adam: Why don’t we have any bots in this bracket?
[0:18:57 – 0:18:58] Adam: Jeez.
[0:18:58 – 0:19:08] Adam: Well, we had Garmin inReach, but… We should get either a bot that looks like a white pine or one that looks like a loon and enter it on behalf of the podcast.
[0:19:08 – 0:19:09] Erik: Yes.
[0:19:09 – 0:19:13] Adam: Can we get enough… Do you want to sponsor a bot?
[0:19:13 – 0:19:18] Adam: Do we have enough money in the account to build a bot that looks like a loon?
[0:19:18 – 0:19:18] Erik: To build one?
[0:19:19 – 0:19:22] Adam: It’s got red eyes and you turn on the gravedigger monster truck.
[0:19:22 – 0:19:28] Adam: When you’re really getting serious, it starts shooting steam out of its nostrils and the red eyes come on.
[0:19:29 – 0:19:32] Erik: I think you would need to be pretty artistic with the painting.
[0:19:32 – 0:19:39] Erik: I think an actual creation of a loon would get destroyed pretty quick, but you could paint it like a loon.
[0:19:39 – 0:19:41] Adam: You could puncture all the other bots.
[0:19:41 – 0:19:42] Erik: There you go.
[0:19:42 – 0:19:46] Adam: Yeah, I agree.
[0:19:46 – 0:19:47] Adam: Down with the rainfly.
[0:19:47 – 0:19:48] Adam: Ghost of Ed Abbey is correct.
[0:19:49 – 0:19:54] Erik: Old canoe guy, if there was any gambling on this tournament, I would mortgage the house.
[0:19:54 – 0:19:55] Erik: There will be gambling next year.
[0:19:55 – 0:19:56] Erik: We’re starting an app.
[0:19:56 – 0:19:58] Erik: Cash in the kids’ college fund.
[0:19:58 – 0:20:06] Erik: Take the wife’s wedding ring to the pawn shop and put it all on white pine to just crush the flapping rainflies.
[0:20:08 – 0:20:09] Erik: We’ll see.
[0:20:09 – 0:20:10] Adam: We’ll see.
[0:20:11 – 0:20:13] Adam: I’d put it in Bitcoin, but, I mean, what do I know?
[0:20:14 – 0:20:16] Adam: Next up on the show, Senior Castor.
[0:20:18 – 0:20:18] Adam: Hello, friend.
[0:20:19 – 0:20:21] Adam: We got eight wine bags going.
[0:20:21 – 0:20:22] Adam: I can’t believe it.
[0:20:22 – 0:20:23] Adam: How did you get it on your phone?
[0:20:23 – 0:20:25] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:20:25 – 0:20:28] Adam: My mobile doesn’t have the box of wine and Coglins on it.
[0:20:28 – 0:20:29] Adam: This is why I didn’t know.
[0:20:31 – 0:20:36] Adam: I’m out here looking like a daydreaming Johnny in my old version of Reddit.
[0:20:38 – 0:20:40] Adam: Eight boxes of wine for Senior Orchestra.
[0:20:40 – 0:20:41] Adam: Thank you and welcome to the show.
[0:20:42 – 0:20:46] Adam: Feeling a little sluggish now that coffee’s been booted from the tourney.
[0:20:46 – 0:20:47] Adam: Still, No.
[0:20:47 – 0:20:52] Adam: 10 Rainfly and the hashtag TrailerTarpBoys absolutely covered No.
[0:20:52 – 0:20:54] Adam: 3 Johnson Falls in Grand Portage.
[0:20:55 – 0:20:59] Adam: If I can make them a jajangunk lock of the week again, they’re my pick.
[0:21:00 – 0:21:03] Adam: If I’m looking towards the west, I’m betting on fellow No.
[0:21:03 – 0:21:07] Adam: 10 seed DCRs to serenely deal No.
[0:21:07 – 0:21:10] Adam: 1 Northern Lights their first defeat in tumble tourney history…
[0:21:11 – 0:21:16] Adam: He’s all on board with the senior wants the dead calm reflections.
[0:21:16 – 0:21:17] Adam: Yeah.
[0:21:17 – 0:21:18] Erik: No matter how.
[0:21:18 – 0:21:19] Erik: That’s bold.
[0:21:20 – 0:21:27] Erik: No matter how good a team is, after a while, you can only be so successful before the crowds turn on you.
[0:21:29 – 0:21:30] Erik: What’s that saying?
[0:21:30 – 0:21:36] Erik: You live long enough to become the… Born a hero, live long enough to become the enemy or something like that.
[0:21:36 – 0:21:38] Adam: Yeah, that sounds right.
[0:21:38 – 0:21:42] Erik: But they could also be impervious to that, just being the team that they are.
[0:21:42 – 0:21:43] Erik: They are beautiful.
[0:21:46 – 0:21:47] Adam: Next up on the show…
[0:21:48 – 0:21:51] Erik: Square jaw 77.
[0:21:51 – 0:22:03] Erik: The majestic white pines didn’t sway an inch to the mighty Lakers, so I am cha-chunk, cha-chunk, locking in the lumbering pines for the win against the rain fly.
[0:22:06 – 0:22:08] Adam: Pat in the comments wants to see a battle grumman.
[0:22:08 – 0:22:09] Adam: There you go.
[0:22:09 – 0:22:10] Adam: Now that’s a design.
[0:22:10 – 0:22:13] Erik: Well, you would take up a quarter of your weight just with the canoe.
[0:22:13 – 0:22:15] Adam: You’re not getting any drones.
[0:22:15 – 0:22:15] Adam: No.
[0:22:16 – 0:22:19] Adam: But man, how are you going to defeat an upside down Grumman?
[0:22:19 – 0:22:21] Adam: You could build it with a bunch of little feet as a way of locomotion.
[0:22:22 – 0:22:22] Erik: Oh, no.
[0:22:22 – 0:22:24] Erik: You just have a couple in the middle.
[0:22:24 – 0:22:27] Erik: You just have a spinner and the thing just spins constantly.
[0:22:29 – 0:22:33] Erik: Oh, the other thing that I learned, this is just going to be a BattleBot podcast.
[0:22:34 – 0:22:54] Erik: Last night, so if you don’t have actual chains to move and spin wheels, so if you have fully robotic mechanized little, basically they look like centipede legs, where if you move, if you go fully robotic, you get twice the weight, so you can be a 500-pound bot.
[0:22:55 – 0:22:57] Erik: You can barely move, but their weapons are crazy.
[0:22:57 – 0:22:58] Erik: Yeah.
[0:22:58 – 0:23:23] Erik: huh any of them got lasers they haven’t figured out lasers yet the rain flies sorry square jaw the rain flies can dominate in the rain but when the wind blows my money is in the trees in the west i’m calling out the itchy wool shirt and locking in the loonies bachunk chunk smacka
[0:23:25 – 0:23:25] Adam: Nice.
[0:23:25 – 0:23:31] Erik: Those woolies might keep you warm, but nothing warms a winning spirit like the loonies.
[0:23:31 – 0:23:32] Erik: Hashtag loon bleepers.
[0:23:33 – 0:23:42] Erik: I’m not much of a soft locker, but I am going to throw some verbal confidence towards the DCRs against the Northern Lights.
[0:23:42 – 0:23:45] Erik: That is my stomach upset of the week.
[0:23:46 – 0:23:48] Erik: Let the March craziness commence.
[0:23:53 – 0:23:55] Adam: You’re under arrest for being too crazy.
[0:23:55 – 0:23:56] Erik: Oh, you get to read Hopalicious.
[0:23:57 – 0:24:01] Erik: Hopalicious has always got the insight into the tourney.
[0:24:02 – 0:24:04] Erik: He’s like Elliot Friedman for hockey.
[0:24:05 – 0:24:08] Erik: He’s got every coach on speed dial, and they’re willing to talk.
[0:24:08 – 0:24:10] Adam: He’s the insider that the insiders listen to.
[0:24:10 – 0:24:11] Adam: Exactly.
[0:24:11 – 0:24:13] Adam: Hopalicious next on the show.
[0:24:13 – 0:24:15] Adam: Nine boxes of wine.
[0:24:15 – 0:24:23] Adam: All my favorites have been thrown out like broken Coghlan’s products, so I had to dig deep to find a solid lock and some worthwhile analysis.
[0:24:24 – 0:24:26] Adam: I would love to see DCR take out Northern Lights.
[0:24:27 – 0:24:30] Adam: DCR coach Alo Cushion has done a heck of a job.
[0:24:31 – 0:24:34] Adam: However, the lighters are just too strong right now.
[0:24:34 – 0:24:37] Adam: KP Index is amazing and the favorite for the George.
[0:24:38 – 0:24:41] Adam: But the play of Steve has allowed the team to shine with even more brilliance.
[0:24:42 – 0:24:46] Adam: The smooth arc of Steve’s mid-range jumper is a thing of celestial beauty.
[0:24:47 – 0:24:51] Adam: They should continue at solar maximum and end the dead calmer’s run.
[0:24:52 – 0:24:55] Adam: Moose vs. Milky Way is way too close to pick.
[0:24:56 – 0:25:00] Adam: You can’t find a line on this game in Vegas, Atlantic City, or even across the pond in Monte Carlo.
[0:25:01 – 0:25:04] Adam: I tried to reach my degenerate gambler friend.
[0:25:04 – 0:25:06] Adam: He’s back, the degenerate gambler.
[0:25:07 – 0:25:15] Adam: For his advice, but he is currently in hiding after his can’t-miss bet on the Lakers over white pie and went sideways.
[0:25:15 – 0:25:15] Adam: Can’t miss.
[0:25:16 – 0:25:17] Adam: Eric, you can’t miss.
[0:25:17 – 0:25:17] Adam: Yeah.
[0:25:18 – 0:25:24] Adam: I feel his pain on that loss, but I am not sure I will share his other pain should his bookie find him.
[0:25:25 – 0:25:27] Adam: My rock lock of the week is the loonies.
[0:25:28 – 0:25:28] Adam: Hashtag lunatics.
[0:25:29 – 0:25:30] Adam: I added the hashtag.
[0:25:32 – 0:25:33] Erik: Always hashtag lunatics.
[0:25:33 – 0:25:36] Adam: They will send wool shirt packing and move on to the final four.
[0:25:37 – 0:25:42] Adam: Well, time to go pour one out for the biters and pour one in the platypus for gravity water filter.
[0:25:43 – 0:25:46] Adam: Thank you, Hopalicious, for the wisdom.
[0:25:46 – 0:25:49] Erik: The wisdom and the insight.
[0:25:49 – 0:25:54] Erik: You are the Andy Katz of the tumble tourney.
[0:25:54 – 0:25:54] Adam: Is that a baseball one?
[0:25:55 – 0:25:59] Erik: No, I think he’s just the March guy.
[0:25:59 – 0:26:00] Adam: Crazy correspondent.
[0:26:02 – 0:26:04] Adam: He’s the crazy correspondent of the month.
[0:26:04 – 0:26:05] Adam: Whatever that month is.
[0:26:05 – 0:26:06] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:26:08 – 0:26:10] Erik: Ninja Fu.
[0:26:11 – 0:26:15] Erik: Coming in with the last insight from the field.
[0:26:16 – 0:26:24] Erik: Recent comments from folks over at Tumble Home Sports Network have made their way into the rainfly locker room.
[0:26:26 – 0:26:27] Erik: I said some things, I know.
[0:26:28 – 0:26:37] Erik: Initial reports suggest the rainflies are determined to complete the upset of the white pines and stake their claim in Tumble tourney history.
[0:26:37 – 0:26:48] Erik: A historic run knocking off Wolf Howls, Bacon, and Johnson Falls seems to bolster their claims that they wick away the haters and are impenetrable to bad vibes.
[0:26:50 – 0:26:53] Adam: That’s my favorite part about Rainflies is they do keep the bad vibes at bay.
[0:26:54 – 0:26:55] Erik: Yeah, they just keep going.
[0:26:55 – 0:26:58] Adam: It’s only good vibes in here under the tarp.
[0:26:58 – 0:27:02] Erik: Ninja Thu, Loon Call stands as my lock rock of the week.
[0:27:03 – 0:27:08] Erik: Sorry, Woolies, but these hashtag lunatics are going to tear you to shreds.
[0:27:08 – 0:27:11] Erik: Hashtag drinking the loon juice.
[0:27:14 – 0:27:14] Erik: Oh, man.
[0:27:15 – 0:27:21] Erik: I mean, we haven’t gotten to the point where we can talk about the final four, but…
[0:27:23 – 0:27:24] Erik: The Lunatics are out there.
[0:27:25 – 0:27:29] Adam: By my count, the Lunatics had the most hype out of the Rock Lockers this week.
[0:27:30 – 0:27:31] Erik: I think so.
[0:27:31 – 0:27:33] Erik: Most hype, no doubt.
[0:27:33 – 0:27:37] Adam: It’s a real unofficial count, but I got a lot of tallies next to the Gavia Emmer Emmer.
[0:27:38 – 0:27:39] Erik: Yes.
[0:27:40 – 0:27:42] Erik: Do we want to reveal the scores?
[0:27:42 – 0:27:44] Erik: Because we both know who’s in the Final Four.
[0:27:44 – 0:27:46] Erik: We don’t know who’s in the Finals.
[0:27:46 – 0:27:51] Adam: Yeah, we should go around and do the scores for the Elite Eight, the Final Four.
[0:27:52 – 0:27:54] Erik: Elite eight into the final four, yes.
[0:27:54 – 0:27:55] Erik: Going to the final four.
[0:27:56 – 0:27:57] Erik: I’ll start in the west.
[0:27:57 – 0:27:58] Adam: Okie doke.
[0:28:02 – 0:28:03] Adam: Agnes, quit it.
[0:28:04 – 0:28:05] Adam: How did you get in here?
[0:28:10 – 0:28:16] Erik: So, DCR versus the Northern Lights.
[0:28:17 – 0:28:19] Erik: We thought it might be close.
[0:28:20 – 0:28:21] Erik: 1 versus 10.
[0:28:21 – 0:28:23] Erik: It wasn’t close.
[0:28:23 – 0:28:26] Erik: 141 to 65.
[0:28:26 – 0:28:30] Erik: The Northern Lights put away the DCR dead calm reflections.
[0:28:30 – 0:28:35] Erik: They are moving into their back-to-back final fours.
[0:28:36 – 0:28:38] Erik: Northern Lights, they’re there.
[0:28:38 – 0:28:44] Adam: Steve had that smooth arcing mid-range game just going perfectly all night.
[0:28:47 – 0:28:49] Erik: And number nine, the Loon Calls.
[0:28:49 – 0:28:52] Erik: The team we think has the most momentum.
[0:28:52 – 0:28:53] Erik: The groundswell.
[0:28:53 – 0:28:54] Erik: The hashtag.
[0:28:54 – 0:28:55] Erik: It’s all there.
[0:28:56 – 0:29:03] Erik: Against the wool shirts, the Softlocks, who had such a sweet, sweet run, are fully shredded.
[0:29:03 – 0:29:06] Erik: There is no patch that will save this season.
[0:29:06 – 0:29:07] Adam: No amount of thread.
[0:29:08 – 0:29:09] Adam: The Loon Calls.
[0:29:09 – 0:29:10] Adam: Put this one back together.
[0:29:11 – 0:29:11] Erik: Savagely destroyed.
[0:29:12 – 0:29:15] Erik: Poke to shreds the wool shirts.
[0:29:16 – 0:29:17] Erik: It’s 173 to 31.
[0:29:17 – 0:29:18] Erik: What?
[0:29:20 – 0:29:21] Adam: I don’t remember that.
[0:29:22 – 0:29:27] Adam: I knew that the loons were going to win, but I didn’t remember it being that bad of a thrashing.
[0:29:28 – 0:29:29] Adam: That’s not even a soft thrash.
[0:29:29 – 0:29:31] Adam: That’s a hard thrash.
[0:29:31 – 0:29:33] Erik: So it’ll be the Northern Lights.
[0:29:33 – 0:29:34] Erik: KP Index.
[0:29:34 – 0:29:35] Erik: Christian Berkland.
[0:29:36 – 0:29:37] Erik: Against the black.
[0:29:37 – 0:29:38] Erik: Reverse polarity.
[0:29:38 – 0:29:39] Erik: Reverse polarity.
[0:29:39 – 0:29:40] Erik: Steve.
[0:29:40 – 0:29:41] Erik: Not Kerr.
[0:29:41 – 0:29:42] Erik: Just Steve.
[0:29:42 – 0:29:43] Adam: He’s even better.
[0:29:46 – 0:29:48] Erik: Loon calls and Northern Lights in the final four.
[0:29:48 – 0:29:52] Erik: My, oh my, what a matchup.
[0:29:53 – 0:29:57] Erik: I am excited to actually get to some results from the West.
[0:29:57 – 0:30:02] Erik: Do you want to do the East’s Elite Eight or should we find out who’s a finalist at this point?
[0:30:04 – 0:30:04] Adam: Oh, no.
[0:30:04 – 0:30:06] Adam: We got to do the Elite Eight out of the East.
[0:30:06 – 0:30:06] Erik: Okay.
[0:30:07 – 0:30:09] Erik: Well, pull it up if you can find it quick there.
[0:30:10 – 0:30:11] Adam: Sure, I know how to use the Reddit.
[0:30:11 – 0:30:12] Erik: Who coaches the loon calls?
[0:30:13 – 0:30:14] Adam: Gavia Immer II.
[0:30:15 – 0:30:16] Erik: Gavia Immer II.
[0:30:17 – 0:30:19] Erik: Doing incredible work.
[0:30:19 – 0:30:24] Erik: How they managed to miss out on the tournament last season is beyond me.
[0:30:25 – 0:30:31] Erik: They’re here now, and man, I think they could give the Northern Lights a true run for their money.
[0:30:32 – 0:30:32] Erik: It…
[0:30:34 – 0:30:46] Erik: There hasn’t necessarily been a matchup besides last year’s Northern Lights versus Kevlar Canoes that would have me thinking there is any chance of the Northern Lights not making the finals.
[0:30:46 – 0:30:53] Erik: But the Loon Calls and what it sounds like is a hard contingent of hashtag lunatics out there.
[0:30:53 – 0:30:58] Adam: The lunatics are coming out to sing and flap their wings.
[0:30:59 – 0:30:59] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:30:59 – 0:31:00] Erik: There’s something about the Cinderella thing.
[0:31:02 – 0:31:03] Adam: What was the other hashtag?
[0:31:04 – 0:31:06] Adam: You will never flap alone.
[0:31:06 – 0:31:09] Erik: I think you just made that up.
[0:31:09 – 0:31:12] Erik: Hashtag you will never flap alone.
[0:31:12 – 0:31:15] Adam: Moving on to the East, we got White Pine.
[0:31:15 – 0:31:24] Adam: Seems like a lot of people are on the stoic White Pine versus Rainfly for a chance at the Final Four and Grand Marais.
[0:31:25 – 0:31:26] Adam: Is that how that works?
[0:31:27 – 0:31:28] Adam: I guess that’s how that works.
[0:31:28 – 0:31:30] Erik: It’s still in the championship in Grand Marais.
[0:31:30 – 0:31:32] Erik: I don’t know where the finals are at.
[0:31:32 – 0:31:33] Adam: It was a close one.
[0:31:33 – 0:31:33] Erik: Yeah?
[0:31:34 – 0:31:34] Adam: It was a close one.
[0:31:34 – 0:31:36] Adam: White Pine is through.
[0:31:36 – 0:31:37] Adam: Yes.
[0:31:38 – 0:31:39] Adam: 109 to 96.
[0:31:39 – 0:31:40] Erik: Ooh.
[0:31:41 – 0:31:41] Erik: 15?
[0:31:41 – 0:31:42] Erik: Is that a 15?
[0:31:42 – 0:31:49] Erik: I would have snapped one of these two laptops in this room right now over my knee, like breaking a…
[0:31:52 – 0:31:55] Erik: What’s something that shouldn’t bend backwards besides a laptop?
[0:31:55 – 0:31:56] Erik: A robot.
[0:31:56 – 0:31:57] Erik: Yeah, just like a robot.
[0:31:57 – 0:32:00] Erik: Over my knee, I would have snapped a stream, would have ended.
[0:32:01 – 0:32:02] Erik: That’s close.
[0:32:02 – 0:32:03] Erik: That’s close, though.
[0:32:04 – 0:32:05] Adam: Wow.
[0:32:05 – 0:32:08] Adam: I felt pretty good about the white pine, but that is pretty darn close.
[0:32:08 – 0:32:08] Adam: Yeah.
[0:32:09 – 0:32:12] Adam: That’s like this close.
[0:32:12 – 0:32:13] Adam: All right, moving on then.
[0:32:13 – 0:32:16] Adam: We got the Moose versus Milky Way, Eric.
[0:32:16 – 0:32:18] Adam: And I was saying earlier, I said last week.
[0:32:18 – 0:32:19] Erik: This one might be even closer.
[0:32:19 – 0:32:23] Adam: That whichever team won this game was the true challenger in Northern Lights.
[0:32:24 – 0:32:27] Adam: Now I’m thinking Loon Calls might actually be a true challenger.
[0:32:27 – 0:32:28] Adam: This is serious.
[0:32:28 – 0:32:29] Adam: A serious.
[0:32:29 – 0:32:31] Erik: New information has come to light, man.
[0:32:31 – 0:32:33] Erik: New information has come to light.
[0:32:33 – 0:32:35] Erik: Who is going up against White Pine?
[0:32:35 – 0:32:36] Erik: Oh, it’s the Moose.
[0:32:37 – 0:32:37] Erik: Moose.
[0:32:38 – 0:32:38] Erik: Moose.
[0:32:39 – 0:32:39] Adam: Moose.
[0:32:40 – 0:32:42] Adam: Moose.
[0:32:42 – 0:32:43] Adam: What was the score?
[0:32:43 – 0:32:44] Adam: 131 to 72.
[0:32:44 – 0:32:45] Adam: Almost doubled them up.
[0:32:45 – 0:32:52] Adam: Moose just kept on marching through the peat moss and spruce swamp.
[0:32:53 – 0:32:53] Adam: Can’t stop the moose.
[0:32:54 – 0:32:55] Adam: You can’t stop them.
[0:32:55 – 0:33:00] Adam: And it got cloudy, a little pressure moved in, and it’s sleeting out right now.
[0:33:00 – 0:33:01] Adam: Sleeting.
[0:33:01 – 0:33:04] Adam: And it’s a full moon tomorrow.
[0:33:04 – 0:33:06] Erik: I’m glad it’s cloudy right now.
[0:33:06 – 0:33:06] Erik: Yeah.
[0:33:07 – 0:33:09] Erik: I’ll take my clouds when the moon is full.
[0:33:09 – 0:33:10] Erik: I don’t need any extra light at night.
[0:33:10 – 0:33:12] Adam: So as I said, I haven’t seen a moose in a long time, but…
[0:33:13 – 0:33:17] Adam: They’re out there still fathering someone up on the Trout Lake Road.
[0:33:18 – 0:33:21] Erik: So they’re still taking his chances on Trout Lake Road right now.
[0:33:21 – 0:33:23] Erik: That’s real dicey.
[0:33:23 – 0:33:24] Erik: That’s a dicey road.
[0:33:24 – 0:33:25] Adam: That’s real dicey.
[0:33:25 – 0:33:27] Adam: All right, so that gets us to our final four.
[0:33:28 – 0:33:29] Erik: Final four.
[0:33:29 – 0:33:37] Adam: We got Moose, the one seed, versus the five, White Pine, who’s really been one of the more surprising teams in this entire bracket.
[0:33:37 – 0:33:41] Adam: Did not expect to see them here in the final four, but I also am not surprised.
[0:33:41 – 0:33:42] Adam: I am not either.
[0:33:43 – 0:33:46] Adam: And I’ve been told that this is like a three-hugger.
[0:33:46 – 0:33:48] Adam: This is one of the biggest white pines now.
[0:33:48 – 0:33:50] Adam: Every round they advance, it adds an extra hug.
[0:33:50 – 0:33:51] Adam: They get larger.
[0:33:51 – 0:33:51] Erik: They’re growing.
[0:33:51 – 0:33:56] Adam: Every round they move on, it takes another person to get their arms around this tree.
[0:33:56 – 0:34:01] Adam: It’s a massive, old-timey white pine now as a five-seed.
[0:34:02 – 0:34:10] Adam: And then in the west, the defending champions, Northern Lights, as a one-seed versus the loon calls, which I would be…
[0:34:11 – 0:34:17] Adam: A little scared if I were KP Index, but you know KP Index is not scared.
[0:34:17 – 0:34:26] Erik: No, they’re probably not, but like we’ve been saying, the support is behind that team.
[0:34:26 – 0:34:27] Erik: I’m trying to quick pull it up here.
[0:34:28 – 0:34:30] Erik: I would love to see if I can find it.
[0:34:30 – 0:34:31] Erik: Yes, I’ve got it.
[0:34:32 – 0:34:36] Erik: Okay, not as close as I thought it was compared to last year.
[0:34:37 – 0:34:46] Erik: But in the West, Kevlar Canoe did go up against the nine seed and, at the time, a very heavy favorite, W.A.
[0:34:46 – 0:34:47] Erik: Fisher, last year.
[0:34:47 – 0:34:47] Erik: That’s right.
[0:34:47 – 0:34:48] Erik: So it’s funny.
[0:34:48 – 0:34:51] Erik: Back-to-back one versus nines in the final four.
[0:34:51 – 0:34:56] Erik: Of course, last year we had Northern Lights as a three going up against two fishing pole.
[0:34:57 – 0:35:00] Erik: That has not quite repeated itself.
[0:35:00 – 0:35:01] Erik: Before we move on…
[0:35:03 – 0:35:08] Erik: To what I am most excited about is to find out who is going to match up in the finals.
[0:35:08 – 0:35:15] Erik: We should say we opened up at the beginning of this tumble tourney a form, a Google form.
[0:35:15 – 0:35:16] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:35:16 – 0:35:18] Erik: Or a doc or a –
[0:35:20 – 0:35:28] Erik: filler outer, whatever you want to call it, whatever the 90 different things that Google has available to you to build out.
[0:35:29 – 0:35:36] Erik: We offered the opportunity for about a week for you to submit your final four predictions.
[0:35:36 – 0:35:38] Erik: And we got close to 90 people.
[0:35:40 – 0:35:48] Erik: that selected who they thought was going to end in the final, who’s going to be the final four teams in this tournament.
[0:35:49 – 0:35:56] Erik: Do you have a guess, Adam, as to how many people had the number of teams in the final four correct?
[0:35:58 – 0:35:59] Erik: Well, that was a weird question.
[0:35:59 – 0:36:01] Erik: How many got four out of four?
[0:36:01 – 0:36:02] Adam: All of them.
[0:36:03 – 0:36:03] Adam: Out of 90?
[0:36:03 – 0:36:04] Adam: Yes.
[0:36:04 – 0:36:04] Adam: Yes.
[0:36:06 – 0:36:06] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:36:06 – 0:36:08] Adam: I’m going to go ahead and say two.
[0:36:08 – 0:36:08] Erik: Two?
[0:36:09 – 0:36:09] Erik: Okay.
[0:36:09 – 0:36:13] Erik: Well, there was like close to ten that had three out of four.
[0:36:13 – 0:36:13] Erik: Yeah.
[0:36:13 – 0:36:15] Erik: In varying combinations.
[0:36:15 – 0:36:15] Erik: Sure, sure.
[0:36:15 – 0:36:17] Erik: There was only one person.
[0:36:18 – 0:36:19] Erik: One.
[0:36:19 – 0:36:25] Erik: Who had all four correctly picked, and it’s so appropriate as to who it was.
[0:36:26 – 0:36:35] Erik: Aldi1, the GIF and meme master on the subreddit this last month,
[0:36:35 – 0:36:38] Erik: correctly picked all four teams.
[0:36:39 – 0:36:59] Erik: And for his successful pick, I told him that we as Tumble Home would be donating $200 to SaveTheBoundaryWaters.org and we’re going to send him and or maybe if he’s up this summer, hit him up with some t-shirts and other goodies for the banger of a win.
[0:36:59 – 0:37:00] Erik: All four.
[0:37:00 – 0:37:01] Erik: That’s incredible.
[0:37:01 – 0:37:03] Erik: In a tournament as crazy as this,
[0:37:04 – 0:37:09] Erik: But at the same time, when you look back, you kind of just take a step back and you see who the final teams are remaining.
[0:37:09 – 0:37:09] Adam: Yeah.
[0:37:10 – 0:37:11] Erik: It almost makes sense.
[0:37:11 – 0:37:12] Adam: Yeah, it does.
[0:37:13 – 0:37:20] Adam: I’m not surprised by any of these teams, but it’s pretty incredible that only one person was able to call that, and it was the artiste.
[0:37:21 – 0:37:22] Adam: Wow.
[0:37:22 – 0:37:22] Erik: Yeah.
[0:37:23 – 0:37:34] Erik: I mean, if you looked at this board from the beginning and had to pick the most iconic things that are associated with the Boundary Waters…
[0:37:34 – 0:37:36] Adam: It’s a real heritage tournament.
[0:37:36 – 0:37:36] Erik: Yeah.
[0:37:36 – 0:37:40] Erik: I mean, at this point, it’s really going to have me thinking…
[0:37:41 – 0:37:51] Erik: 4D chess for next year and how we’re going to, how the selection committee, I mean, I should say, how maybe they will be affected by the Final Four and how some of the seedings will happen.
[0:37:52 – 0:37:52] Adam: For sure.
[0:37:53 – 0:37:56] Adam: Do we have any way to know what Aldeon picked for the finals?
[0:37:56 – 0:37:59] Erik: We do, but I don’t have that information in front of me.
[0:37:59 – 0:38:00] Erik: Okay.
[0:38:00 – 0:38:05] Erik: And it was only meant as a tiebreaker, but we can bring it up on the championship episode.
[0:38:05 – 0:38:07] Erik: Okay, we’ll revisit that.
[0:38:07 – 0:38:08] Adam: We’ll put a bookmark in that.
[0:38:09 – 0:38:12] Adam: But that’s super impressive, and way to go.
[0:38:13 – 0:38:15] Erik: Congratulations, Aldi1.
[0:38:15 – 0:38:19] Erik: Thank you for the artwork on the subreddit.
[0:38:19 – 0:38:31] Erik: If you’re not on our Double Homecast, at least for this last month, it’s been a cornucopia of memes, fun, creativity, and…
[0:38:32 – 0:38:40] Erik: Banter, I mean, the analysis from the in-the-field reporters, Cheap Dancer has gotten the rock lockers of the week going.
[0:38:41 – 0:38:46] Erik: Hopalicious, he sounds like he covers sports already.
[0:38:47 – 0:38:48] Erik: It’s just been amazing.
[0:38:49 – 0:38:53] Erik: So thank you all for being involved, and congratulations again to Aldi1.
[0:38:54 – 0:38:56] Adam: Got a shout-out from Lee in the chat.
[0:38:56 – 0:38:58] Adam: Aldi won for MVP.
[0:38:58 – 0:38:59] Adam: Yeah.
[0:39:00 – 0:39:02] Adam: Could a spectator win the George?
[0:39:03 – 0:39:03] Adam: Yeah.
[0:39:03 – 0:39:05] Adam: Could an insider win the George?
[0:39:05 – 0:39:05] Adam: Maybe.
[0:39:06 – 0:39:07] Adam: Interesting.
[0:39:07 – 0:39:09] Adam: We’re going to definitely make a note there.
[0:39:10 – 0:39:21] Adam: Yeah, the next week we’ll be finding out the final winner of this year’s tournament, but also the George and maybe other awards would be given out as we listen to the one shining moments.
[0:39:22 – 0:39:25] Adam: That’s my new band, The One Shining Moments.
[0:39:25 – 0:39:26] Adam: The One Shining Moments.
[0:39:27 – 0:39:30] Erik: I sort of forgot about the George.
[0:39:30 – 0:39:34] Erik: I do remember it now, but I don’t think we came up with any other awards last year, did we?
[0:39:34 – 0:39:35] Adam: We might have more this year.
[0:39:35 – 0:39:35] Adam: We’ll see.
[0:39:35 – 0:39:37] Adam: We’ve got a whole week to think about that.
[0:39:38 – 0:39:40] Adam: The awards committee is meeting after tonight’s show.
[0:39:40 – 0:39:41] Adam: Yeah.
[0:39:41 – 0:39:42] Adam: We got some vodka.
[0:39:42 – 0:39:46] Adam: We’re going to be talking awards over a cup of vodka.
[0:39:47 – 0:39:51] Erik: Well, we’re going to talk awards while we’re reviewing Hoosiers.
[0:39:52 – 0:39:52] Erik: That’s right.
[0:39:52 – 0:39:53] Erik: Cinema classics.
[0:39:53 – 0:39:59] Erik: So I’m sure we can come up with the Jimmy Chitwood Award for draining threes when the three-point line did not exist.
[0:40:00 – 0:40:02] Erik: That team would have been unbeatable if the three-point line existed.
[0:40:03 – 0:40:05] Adam: I don’t give a damn if you’re on this team or not.
[0:40:05 – 0:40:06] Adam: I’m walking out of this gym.
[0:40:08 – 0:40:08] Erik: Oh, man.
[0:40:08 – 0:40:10] Erik: Are you ready to find out who’s in the finals?
[0:40:11 – 0:40:12] Adam: Yeah, no, I need another beer.
[0:40:12 – 0:40:13] Adam: Do you have any extra beer?
[0:40:13 – 0:40:13] Erik: Oh, yes.
[0:40:13 – 0:40:17] Erik: Another sponsor, again, from Scott and Sarah.
[0:40:19 – 0:40:19] Adam: Draining threes.
[0:40:19 – 0:40:22] Adam: I’m draining pistachio indeeds.
[0:40:24 – 0:40:25] Erik: AKA smooth hopperator.
[0:40:26 – 0:40:27] Erik: That’s a sour.
[0:40:27 – 0:40:31] Erik: I believe from the note that that is Sarah’s favorite sour.
[0:40:32 – 0:40:32] Erik: Oh, wait.
[0:40:33 – 0:40:33] Erik: I grabbed you mine.
[0:40:33 – 0:40:35] Erik: You need to grab me yours now.
[0:40:37 – 0:40:37] Erik: Oh, I see.
[0:40:37 – 0:40:42] Adam: Oh, and I got for you, it’s a sour.
[0:40:43 – 0:40:44] Erik: Also a sour.
[0:40:44 – 0:40:46] Adam: It’s the fave.
[0:40:47 – 0:40:47] Erik: Thanks, guys.
[0:40:49 – 0:40:50] Adam British-ish: You can’t stop.
[0:40:50 – 0:40:53] Erik: The Tumbled Tourney is the most magical time of year.
[0:40:53 – 0:40:53] Erik: I love it.
[0:40:53 – 0:40:55] Erik: I also hate that it’s coming to an end.
[0:40:56 – 0:40:57] Adam: It never really ends, though.
[0:40:58 – 0:41:04] Adam: You get your one shining moment, and then you just start thinking about next season.
[0:41:04 – 0:41:05] Adam: Give it a week or two.
[0:41:05 – 0:41:05] Adam: Wow.
[0:41:06 – 0:41:07] Adam: The season never really ends.
[0:41:07 – 0:41:23] Erik: This is a Raspberry Sour from 56 Brewing in Northeast Minneapolis, and it is delicious.
[0:41:23 – 0:41:23] Erik: Wow.
[0:41:24 – 0:41:28] Adam: I’m going to give this one 7 out of 5 summertime bumblebees.
[0:41:28 – 0:41:35] Erik: We don’t usually have the sours on this show, but when we do, we usually don’t like them.
[0:41:36 – 0:41:37] Erik: But I love this one.
[0:41:38 – 0:41:39] Erik: Man, this is good.
[0:41:39 – 0:41:44] Erik: Maybe it’s just because I want the flavors of summer so bad in my life right now.
[0:41:45 – 0:41:46] Adam: Take that, sleet.
[0:41:46 – 0:41:49] Erik: Take that sleet, lousy March weather.
[0:41:50 – 0:41:50] Erik: Cheers again.
[0:41:51 – 0:41:54] Adam: It is a Larry Bird documentary.
[0:41:54 – 0:41:54] Adam: Everybody knows that.
[0:41:56 – 0:41:59] Adam: Yeah, is that… Larry Bird’s running a…
[0:41:59 – 0:42:01] Adam: He’s got a couple of bots in the battle these days.
[0:42:02 – 0:42:03] Erik: Oh, he’s at least investing.
[0:42:03 – 0:42:06] Adam: Yeah, he should not be investing in crypto.
[0:42:06 – 0:42:07] Adam: He should be investing in bots.
[0:42:08 – 0:42:08] Erik: Yes.
[0:42:09 – 0:42:10] Erik: Get into bots.
[0:42:10 – 0:42:11] Erik: It’s the new up and coming.
[0:42:12 – 0:42:13] Erik: It’s so entertaining.
[0:42:14 – 0:42:14] Adam: You know that Mt.
[0:42:14 – 0:42:19] Adam: Gox was Magic the Gathering online exchange?
[0:42:21 – 0:42:21] Erik: No.
[0:42:22 – 0:42:24] Adam: I just found that out today on Reddit.
[0:42:26 – 0:42:28] Adam: I don’t even have a wine box upvote button.
[0:42:30 – 0:42:31] Erik: Yeah, I don’t know.
[0:42:31 – 0:42:35] Erik: You might need to download an update or something.
[0:42:35 – 0:42:36] Adam: Is that an update?
[0:42:36 – 0:42:38] Erik: I have no idea why you’re not seeing the wine boxes.
[0:42:38 – 0:42:41] Adam: I’m so shocked that last week… Do I not have enough karma?
[0:42:42 – 0:42:44] Erik: I just think you probably don’t have enough karma.
[0:42:44 – 0:42:45] Erik: That’s got to be it.
[0:42:45 – 0:42:46] Adam: I upvote everything.
[0:42:47 – 0:42:48] Erik: That doesn’t get you karma.
[0:42:48 – 0:42:49] Erik: You need to get upvoted.
[0:42:50 – 0:42:51] Erik: You got to get wittier.
[0:42:51 – 0:42:52] Erik: You got to get bantier.
[0:42:52 – 0:42:55] Erik: You got to create all the one level memes.
[0:42:55 – 0:42:57] Erik: Let’s find out who’s going to the finals.
[0:42:57 – 0:42:58] Erik: I am excited.
[0:42:58 – 0:42:58] Erik: I can’t wait.
[0:42:59 – 0:43:02] Erik: It’s Loon Calls versus Northern Lights.
[0:43:03 – 0:43:10] Erik: Northern Lights undefeated since the beginning of this majestic tournament.
[0:43:11 – 0:43:14] Erik: Will they return to the finals?
[0:43:17 – 0:43:18] Erik: They will not.
[0:43:18 – 0:43:19] Erik: No, the loons!
[0:43:20 – 0:43:20] Erik: Lunatics!
[0:43:20 – 0:43:21] Erik: Lunatics!
[0:43:26 – 0:43:31] Erik: The nine seed loon calls in the finals.
[0:43:32 – 0:43:33] Erik: My, oh my.
[0:43:33 – 0:43:35] Adam: They have the most check marks for sure.
[0:43:35 – 0:43:37] Erik: It was 96 to 74.
[0:43:37 – 0:43:45] Erik: I just had a sneaking suspicion that that was the way the tides.
[0:43:45 – 0:43:48] Erik: The voting, the online hype.
[0:43:49 – 0:43:50] Erik: That’s what it’s about these days.
[0:43:51 – 0:43:52] Erik: Get the kids excited.
[0:43:52 – 0:43:53] Erik: Wow.
[0:43:53 – 0:43:53] Erik: Meme it up.
[0:43:54 – 0:43:55] Erik: Black and white.
[0:43:55 – 0:43:58] Erik: Hashtag lunatics are moving on.
[0:43:58 – 0:44:08] Erik: They’re one win away from a glorious run that has not been matched in any tournament that I can think of in at least 10 years.
[0:44:09 – 0:44:10] Erik: NC State in the 80s.
[0:44:12 – 0:44:14] Erik: No matter who they go up against.
[0:44:14 – 0:44:15] Adam: This is like Hickory in 1952.
[0:44:16 – 0:44:17] Adam: Rural Indiana.
[0:44:18 – 0:44:20] Adam: Barnes instead of backboards.
[0:44:22 – 0:44:24] Erik: How many do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do?
[0:44:24 – 0:44:25] Adam: Because you handle in Hoosiers.
[0:44:25 – 0:44:26] Adam: Too many?
[0:44:26 – 0:44:26] Adam: Not enough?
[0:44:26 – 0:44:28] Erik: I could have used a couple more.
[0:44:28 – 0:44:28] Erik: Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do.
[0:44:28 – 0:44:30] Adam: I need more squeaker sneaks.
[0:44:30 – 0:44:31] Adam: Sneaky squeaks.
[0:44:32 – 0:44:33] Erik: Congratulations, loons.
[0:44:34 – 0:44:34] Erik: The loons.
[0:44:35 – 0:44:36] Adam: They’re flapping their wings.
[0:44:36 – 0:44:38] Adam: They’re flapping their wings out there on the open water.
[0:44:38 – 0:44:41] Adam: They’re singing at the full moon tomorrow night.
[0:44:41 – 0:44:41] Adam: Oh, boy.
[0:44:41 – 0:44:43] Adam: It’s all coming together for the loonies.
[0:44:44 – 0:44:46] Erik: I just think that people voted for the loons.
[0:44:46 – 0:44:49] Erik: They just want to hear the loon intro that much sooner.
[0:44:49 – 0:44:51] Erik: And I believe I kind of misspoke.
[0:44:52 – 0:44:53] Erik: I said last week we were starting the show.
[0:44:53 – 0:44:54] Erik: No, I said it.
[0:44:54 – 0:44:57] Erik: I said if they win, the whole thing will start early.
[0:44:57 – 0:44:58] Erik: Not just if they win this match.
[0:44:58 – 0:45:03] Adam: We’ve never had the loon intro in March or April ever on the whole history of the show.
[0:45:04 – 0:45:05] Adam: That’d be something else.
[0:45:05 – 0:45:07] Erik: The Cinderella I want.
[0:45:07 – 0:45:07] Erik: Wow.
[0:45:07 – 0:45:08] Erik: I can’t wait.
[0:45:08 – 0:45:09] Erik: I can already picture.
[0:45:10 – 0:45:11] Erik: Well, I can’t actually.
[0:45:11 – 0:45:19] Erik: It would probably be really disturbing, but I kind of want to see Loon in a Cinderella slipper.
[0:45:19 – 0:45:19] Erik: Yeah.
[0:45:21 – 0:45:22] Erik: The Cinderella story continues.
[0:45:22 – 0:45:27] Erik: Does this fit your oily paddle foot?
[0:45:27 – 0:45:33] Erik: Would it be one of our greasy faces putting the glass slipper on the loon while being partially attacked?
[0:45:33 – 0:45:35] Erik: Like flipping back and trying to get at us?
[0:45:37 – 0:45:38] Erik: No, no, no.
[0:45:38 – 0:45:40] Erik: You’re my princess, loon.
[0:45:40 – 0:45:42] Erik: We’re going to the ball now.
[0:45:46 – 0:45:47] Adam: Oh, Jesus.
[0:45:47 – 0:45:47] Adam: All right.
[0:45:47 – 0:45:52] Adam: Well, you know, got to give a lot of credit to Northern Lights coach.
[0:45:53 – 0:45:55] Adam: Berkland really had them playing well.
[0:45:55 – 0:45:57] Adam: That was their first loss of the season.
[0:45:58 – 0:46:00] Adam: The dream comes to an end and not even in the finals.
[0:46:01 – 0:46:01] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:46:01 – 0:46:06] Adam: I guess it would be more heartbreaking to have made the finals and then lost after a season of perfection.
[0:46:07 – 0:46:10] Adam: Yeah, this low-pressure system came in at the wrong time for them.
[0:46:11 – 0:46:19] Adam: And maybe the shortened voting week played a hand in the very excited lunatics getting their vote out early.
[0:46:20 – 0:46:22] Adam: Yeah, like voter mobilization.
[0:46:23 – 0:46:26] Adam: And outreach is going to be key in future Tumble tournaments, I think.
[0:46:26 – 0:46:30] Adam: But the Loons, their song pierces the night sky far and wide.
[0:46:31 – 0:46:38] Adam: They were organized not just on the field of play, but also on the lakes and rivers.
[0:46:39 – 0:46:43] Adam: They are for the song in your heart, Eric.
[0:46:44 – 0:46:45] Adam: It’s a beautiful thing.
[0:46:45 – 0:46:47] Adam: I don’t know what I’m saying, but it is poetry.
[0:46:47 – 0:46:48] Erik: Yeah, poetry.
[0:46:48 – 0:46:50] Erik: It doesn’t have to rhyme, you know.
[0:46:50 – 0:46:53] Erik: It just has to be creative.
[0:46:55 – 0:47:02] Erik: There’s a lot you can say about voters and who comes out to vote, especially late in the tournament like this.
[0:47:02 – 0:47:08] Erik: It does get easy once your team is out to just no longer pay attention.
[0:47:08 – 0:47:14] Erik: And also just the way that the last couple of weeks work is always confusing to people.
[0:47:14 – 0:47:14] Erik: But
[0:47:14 – 0:47:18] Erik: We still had almost 150 votes in the final four.
[0:47:18 – 0:47:19] Erik: Pretty good.
[0:47:19 – 0:47:25] Erik: We’ll have a full week of championship voting going forward, so shouldn’t be any worries on that.
[0:47:25 – 0:47:27] Erik: We’ll adjust the format in the future.
[0:47:27 – 0:47:30] Erik: We’ll figure it out so that makes sense so it doesn’t catch people off guard.
[0:47:31 – 0:47:33] Erik: Let’s see who the Loons are going up against.
[0:47:33 – 0:47:34] Erik: I am excited.
[0:47:35 – 0:47:35] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:47:35 – 0:47:43] Erik: At this point, I feel like the only team that stands a chance is the Moose.
[0:47:44 – 0:47:46] Adam: Against the critter?
[0:47:46 – 0:47:46] Adam: Critter on critter.
[0:47:47 – 0:47:47] Adam: Critter on critter.
[0:47:47 – 0:47:48] Adam: All right.
[0:47:48 – 0:47:52] Adam: We’re going to the court here for our report.
[0:47:54 – 0:47:57] Adam: White Pine versus the Moose.
[0:47:59 – 0:48:00] Adam: Oh, my internet froze.
[0:48:00 – 0:48:01] Erik: Sorry.
[0:48:01 – 0:48:01] Erik: Bye.
[0:48:03 – 0:48:04] Erik: Moose.
[0:48:04 – 0:48:05] Erik: Moose.
[0:48:05 – 0:48:05] Erik: Moose.
[0:48:09 – 0:48:12] Erik: Let’s see if the loons can take down two number one seeds.
[0:48:13 – 0:48:13] Erik: Great.
[0:48:13 – 0:48:14] Adam: I think they can do it.
[0:48:14 – 0:48:16] Adam: Moose, very strong.
[0:48:16 – 0:48:17] Adam: Very strong.
[0:48:18 – 0:48:19] Adam: 112 to 53.
[0:48:20 – 0:48:20] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:48:20 – 0:48:25] Adam: Does that mean the moose is strong or is that the white pine just wasn’t as strong of an opponent?
[0:48:25 – 0:48:26] Adam: We shall see.
[0:48:27 – 0:48:30] Adam: The moose has been really good throughout the whole tournament.
[0:48:30 – 0:48:30] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:48:31 – 0:48:32] Adam: Anybody really got close to him.
[0:48:33 – 0:48:37] Erik: No, the Moose have had, I would say, you can go back and track.
[0:48:37 – 0:48:42] Erik: This would be fun in 10 years to go back and do some analytics, some fancy stats.
[0:48:42 – 0:48:43] Erik: They destroyed kayak.
[0:48:44 – 0:48:45] Adam: Then they took out camera.
[0:48:47 – 0:48:48] Erik: Then coffee.
[0:48:48 – 0:48:49] Adam: Everybody loved coffee.
[0:48:49 – 0:48:53] Adam: They went right through coffee like it was not even filtered.
[0:48:54 – 0:48:56] Adam: And then took out Milky Way.
[0:48:56 – 0:48:57] Adam: Pretty much no problem.
[0:48:58 – 0:49:01] Adam: And went right through the white pine.
[0:49:01 – 0:49:03] Adam: The moose could not be stopped.
[0:49:03 – 0:49:05] Adam: And now we have a critter on critter final.
[0:49:06 – 0:49:06] Adam: This is great.
[0:49:07 – 0:49:09] Erik: Critter on Critter Final.
[0:49:10 – 0:49:22] Erik: You never know from the beginning what it’s going to look like, but when it ultimately reveals itself, it kind of does just make sense.
[0:49:22 – 0:49:23] Erik: You’re like, oh yeah, okay.
[0:49:23 – 0:49:24] Adam: Yeah, I should have had that.
[0:49:25 – 0:49:27] Adam: I didn’t have either of them.
[0:49:27 – 0:49:29] Adam: My Final Four is completely busted.
[0:49:30 – 0:49:34] Adam: I only had one team in the Final Four right, and that was the defending champ, Northern Lights.
[0:49:35 – 0:49:41] Adam: I didn’t pick either of these teams to be in the Final, so I can’t wait to find out how the voters go with this one.
[0:49:42 – 0:49:46] Erik: Yeah, I had Northern Lights against the Lakers in the Final.
[0:49:47 – 0:49:48] Adam: Who’d you have winning?
[0:49:48 – 0:49:49] Erik: The Northern Lights.
[0:49:50 – 0:49:54] Adam: I had Northern Lights losing to Milky Way in the final.
[0:49:55 – 0:50:02] Adam: I had a lot of faith in the Milky Way, especially after their second round trouncing of the Silky boy.
[0:50:02 – 0:50:07] Adam: It didn’t work out for them this year, but I still believe they have a good foundation.
[0:50:07 – 0:50:09] Adam: They have a good program up there.
[0:50:10 – 0:50:11] Adam: A very bright future.
[0:50:12 – 0:50:12] Erik: I think so.
[0:50:12 – 0:50:18] Erik: I don’t think it’s just so I mean, yes, these clouds that rolled in these last couple of days may have had something to do with it.
[0:50:19 – 0:50:25] Erik: But how active the auroras, the northern lights, Christian KP index, they’ve all been out there.
[0:50:25 – 0:50:32] Erik: They’ve been in the public eye to see them go down to the loon calls when they’re not even around.
[0:50:33 – 0:50:34] Erik: The loons are still down in Bama.
[0:50:36 – 0:50:38] Erik: Alabama, that is.
[0:50:38 – 0:50:38] Adam: Are they?
[0:50:39 – 0:50:40] Adam: They might be here already.
[0:50:41 – 0:50:45] Adam: Secret agent loons infiltrating the North Country.
[0:50:45 – 0:50:46] Adam: There’s plenty of open water around.
[0:50:47 – 0:50:48] Adam: Maybe they’re in the rivers.
[0:50:48 – 0:50:48] Erik: Yeah.
[0:50:48 – 0:50:50] Adam: We haven’t checked the rivers.
[0:50:50 – 0:50:51] Erik: Checked the rivers.
[0:50:51 – 0:50:55] Erik: Well, we’re going to retroactively do some rock lock checks.
[0:50:55 – 0:50:56] Erik: I’ll just be honest with you.
[0:50:57 – 0:51:03] Erik: I totally forgot that there was a cheap dancer post on rock and lock for the final four.
[0:51:04 – 0:51:07] Erik: It’ll be a little bit more fun to read now that we actually know what the final is.
[0:51:08 – 0:51:09] Adam: We skipped ahead.
[0:51:09 – 0:51:10] Adam: We got way too excited.
[0:51:10 – 0:51:11] Adam: We got too excited.
[0:51:11 – 0:51:12] Adam: We know the final.
[0:51:13 – 0:51:14] Erik: This is from Aldi1.com.
[0:51:16 – 0:51:21] Erik: This is, well, we’re going to get his actual, what his thoughts were then.
[0:51:21 – 0:51:23] Erik: He nailed all four.
[0:51:23 – 0:51:24] Erik: Matchup of the week.
[0:51:25 – 0:51:27] Erik: Loons versus Lights.
[0:51:28 – 0:51:31] Erik: Dwayne Johnson, the rock lock pick of the week.
[0:51:32 – 0:51:33] Erik: Moose over White Pine.
[0:51:34 – 0:51:38] Erik: Not to toot my own horn, but I picked the final four correctly at the beginning of the tourney.
[0:51:39 – 0:51:39] Erik: Gotcha.
[0:51:40 – 0:51:41] Erik: Gotcha, Aldi1.
[0:51:41 – 0:51:42] Erik: We already shouted you out.
[0:51:43 – 0:51:43] Erik: Congrats.
[0:51:46 – 0:51:47] Erik: I’ll read another short one here.
[0:51:47 – 0:51:53] Erik: Lieutenant Chop and Broccoli Team Moose are going to quiet Team White Pines Bark.
[0:51:53 – 0:51:57] Erik: Hashtag Team Dulap Slap.
[0:51:58 – 0:51:59] Adam: I don’t know what that means.
[0:52:00 – 0:52:01] Adam: I don’t know what it is either.
[0:52:01 – 0:52:01] Erik: I love it.
[0:52:03 – 0:52:04] Erik: All right.
[0:52:04 – 0:52:06] Erik: You can do some dad bod dodds.
[0:52:08 – 0:52:11] Adam: Got four boxes of wine here for dirty dad bod 5-2-3.
[0:52:13 – 0:52:16] Adam: Praise be to Sig Olson that I picked the loonies last week.
[0:52:16 – 0:52:19] Adam: Now I have a valid excuse not to have them as my lock this week.
[0:52:20 – 0:52:25] Adam: My superior agate certified rock lock is the antler cows over the piney boys.
[0:52:26 – 0:52:27] Adam: Hashtag moose.
[0:52:28 – 0:52:35] Adam: My initial bracket has the vindleys over the loons this week, but hashtag March Krasinus has me feeling a type of way.
[0:52:36 – 0:52:39] Adam: My inner voice is calling a familiar tone.
[0:52:39 – 0:52:41] Adam: I have faith in these loonies.
[0:52:42 – 0:52:42] UNKNOWN: Yeah.
[0:52:43 – 0:52:43] Adam: Wow.
[0:52:43 – 0:52:44] Adam: There’s some faith.
[0:52:44 – 0:52:45] Adam: Clearly there’s faith.
[0:52:47 – 0:52:48] Adam: Very nice.
[0:52:48 – 0:52:49] Erik: Ghost of Ed Abbey.
[0:52:49 – 0:52:51] Erik Announcer Voice: We’re getting down to the end.
[0:52:52 – 0:52:57] Erik: I don’t even remember for sure my final four before the tourney, but I know I picked two correctly.
[0:52:58 – 0:53:01] Erik: Well, we might need some proof on that one.
[0:53:01 – 0:53:03] Erik: I usually like to go spicy.
[0:53:03 – 0:53:03] Adam: We believe you.
[0:53:04 – 0:53:06] Erik: But I’m feeling good about moose.
[0:53:06 – 0:53:07] Erik: The chant is too good.
[0:53:08 – 0:53:08] Erik: Moose.
[0:53:09 – 0:53:09] Erik: Moose.
[0:53:10 – 0:53:12] Erik: Moose.
[0:53:13 – 0:53:15] Adam: That’s fun, that versus the lunatics.
[0:53:15 – 0:53:19] Adam: We need some saxophone in the background.
[0:53:19 – 0:53:25] Erik: Hashtag lunatics.
[0:53:26 – 0:53:28] Adam: Needs a little work, but there’s something there.
[0:53:29 – 0:53:33] Erik: Squarejaw77, I’m going to lock in Moose.
[0:53:33 – 0:53:34] Erik: Crack chunk.
[0:53:34 – 0:53:37] Erik: Chug chunk.
[0:53:37 – 0:53:39] Erik: Oh, winning the whole shebang.
[0:53:40 – 0:53:42] Erik: Northern Lights must go down sometime.
[0:53:43 – 0:53:46] Erik: Frigging KP Index and that shady Steve.
[0:53:46 – 0:53:50] Erik: They both play dirty, and it makes the whole tourney just look bad.
[0:53:51 – 0:53:52] Erik: How do they play dirty?
[0:53:52 – 0:53:54] Erik: Get back to me on that one, Squarejaw.
[0:53:54 – 0:54:00] Erik: Moose have just kept their head down and have steadily pushed through the scrub brush all season.
[0:54:00 – 0:54:08] Erik: Rock Lock and the Mighty Majestic Moose versus Stupid Steve and the Elusive and Cheaty Magoo.
[0:54:08 – 0:54:09] Erik: He’s just a kid.
[0:54:09 – 0:54:10] Adam: Cheaty Magoo?
[0:54:10 – 0:54:11] Erik: Cheaty Magoo.
[0:54:11 – 0:54:18] Adam: Do you think we’ll ever have another repeat champion ever in the history of the tournament?
[0:54:18 – 0:54:25] Erik: I think it’s en masse not appreciated to have a dynasty established.
[0:54:25 – 0:54:25] Adam: Yeah.
[0:54:25 – 0:54:26] Erik: So probably not.
[0:54:26 – 0:54:27] Adam: No.
[0:54:27 – 0:54:47] Adam: In a tournament where the voters are the key, I don’t think we’ll ever have a repeat champion because Northern Lights are pretty much an unbeatable team, and they got beaten tonight here on the Tumble Home Sports Network, bringing you all the up-to-date scores, rock locks, and robot stories you crave.
[0:54:50 – 0:54:52] Erik: Hopalicious, hard to pass up Moose.
[0:54:52 – 0:54:55] Erik: Cha-chunk, lock it up and ship Moose to the finals.
[0:54:56 – 0:54:58] Erik: Everybody’s on Team Moose.
[0:54:58 – 0:54:58] Erik: Yeah.
[0:54:58 – 0:55:02] Erik: Well, I’ll let you read this flash news update from Squarejaw77.
[0:55:02 – 0:55:06] Erik: I believe he has some incriminating evidence against the Northern Lights.
[0:55:08 – 0:55:21] Adam: flash news update our field reporters have dug up some information about a potential attempt of bodily harm against steve the rising star of northern lights hashtag let’s get dimmer hashtag lights getting dimmer
[0:55:22 – 0:55:28] Adam: Apparently, the now-defunct camp light snuck into Steve’s double wide last night and wrapped their cord around his neck.
[0:55:28 – 0:55:31] Adam: There’s evidence of the long-forgotten hatchets as well.
[0:55:32 – 0:55:36] Adam: They have apprehended a white male named Bobby McRex and have him in custody.
[0:55:36 – 0:55:40] Adam: Steve was rushed to the hospital, and it appears he has already been discharged.
[0:55:40 – 0:55:46] Adam: No word on his condition or whether or not he will be able to play in the much-anticipated TumbleTurney championship game.
[0:55:46 – 0:55:48] Adam: This is a surprise blow that…
[0:55:48 – 0:55:52] Adam: to what has up to now been a very exciting tournament.
[0:55:53 – 0:55:54] Erik: It seems like gossip.
[0:55:54 – 0:55:56] Erik: I don’t know if we should have necessarily reported that.
[0:55:57 – 0:55:58] Erik: We need a corroborating resource.
[0:55:58 – 0:56:04] Adam: Well, now we know, though, in fact, that Steve was able to play, but he was not his silky smooth self.
[0:56:04 – 0:56:05] Erik: Did not seem himself.
[0:56:05 – 0:56:07] Adam: The mid-range game was a little altered.
[0:56:09 – 0:56:11] Adam: Not quite as smooth, so maybe there’s something to this.
[0:56:11 – 0:56:18] Adam: We’re going to have to remember to make sure we get our Flash News updates in before we reveal the results next year.
[0:56:19 – 0:56:22] Erik: Well, we’ll have a full Reddit page set up.
[0:56:23 – 0:56:25] Erik: Yes, we need another Reddit page.
[0:56:25 – 0:56:27] Adam: We need a whole subreddit just for the Tumble.
[0:56:27 – 0:56:28] Erik: Just for the Tumble attorney?
[0:56:28 – 0:56:29] Adam: Agnes, get out of there.
[0:56:30 – 0:56:31] Adam: She’s not supposed to be in there.
[0:56:32 – 0:56:32] Erik: What’s she in?
[0:56:33 – 0:56:34] Adam: The bookshelf.
[0:56:34 – 0:56:34] Adam: No.
[0:56:34 – 0:56:35] Adam: Get out of the library.
[0:56:36 – 0:56:37] Adam: Gee whiz.
[0:56:39 – 0:56:41] Adam: All right, we’ve got our final… For Pete’s sake.
[0:56:42 – 0:56:45] Erik: For Pete’s sake, we’ve got our finalists.
[0:56:45 – 0:56:46] Erik: I cannot believe it.
[0:56:46 – 0:56:47] Erik: Loon Calls, shocker.
[0:56:48 – 0:56:49] Erik: Moose, not so much.
[0:56:50 – 0:56:59] Erik: It doesn’t seem like if the Loon Calls prevail that it would be a true Cinderella just based on the success and the way they’re playing.
[0:57:00 – 0:57:01] Erik: But if you look at the seed…
[0:57:02 – 0:57:04] Adam: You will never flap alone.
[0:57:04 – 0:57:07] Erik: You will never flap alone.
[0:57:07 – 0:57:08] Erik: It’s going to be a tough one.
[0:57:10 – 0:57:11] Erik: We shall see.
[0:57:11 – 0:57:13] Erik: We’re going to be back next week.
[0:57:14 – 0:57:14] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:57:14 – 0:57:15] Erik: Are we going to go?
[0:57:15 – 0:57:18] Erik: Are we going to do a live, just probably a short live reveal?
[0:57:19 – 0:57:19] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:57:19 – 0:57:21] Erik: Well, we’ll talk about it and we’ll let you know.
[0:57:21 – 0:57:22] Adam: I’m not sure what the point.
[0:57:22 – 0:57:24] Adam: When is the voting over, though?
[0:57:24 – 0:57:28] Erik: Uh, we’re going to, I’m going to, it’s not even open at this point just because we didn’t know.
[0:57:29 – 0:57:30] Erik: Well, yeah, you can only do 30.
[0:57:31 – 0:57:35] Erik: You can only do two 32, 32 team brackets as max.
[0:57:35 – 0:57:36] Erik: I see.
[0:57:36 – 0:57:38] Erik: So I now have to set up the actual final.
[0:57:39 – 0:57:43] Erik: I’ll start that tomorrow, Sunday, the 28th.
[0:57:44 – 0:57:44] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:57:44 – 0:57:45] Erik: Let it run for a week.
[0:57:45 – 0:57:46] Erik: We’ll do it.
[0:57:46 – 0:57:48] Erik: We’ll go full week and we’ll finish it up next week.
[0:57:49 – 0:57:50] Erik: There you go.
[0:57:50 – 0:57:52] Erik: Get back onto the Sunday to Sunday schedule.
[0:57:53 – 0:57:54] Adam: Yeah, with the live report Monday morning.
[0:57:56 – 0:57:58] Erik: We could do a live report Monday morning, sure.
[0:57:58 – 0:58:01] Erik: That’s not a Sunday to Sunday schedule, but… Who knows?
[0:58:01 – 0:58:03] Erik: We could do one more on a Monday.
[0:58:05 – 0:58:22] Erik: But I am thinking after that, just to get back into the swing of involving the subreddit community, I have not passed this by you, but I think a community-wide best, worst, overrated, underrated…
[0:58:22 – 0:58:23] Adam: Oh, love it.
[0:58:24 – 0:58:26] Erik: Camp breakfast meals.
[0:58:28 – 0:58:28] Erik: Sound like fun?
[0:58:29 – 0:58:30] Adam: I mean, I love breakfast.
[0:58:30 – 0:58:30] Erik: Yes.
[0:58:30 – 0:58:36] Erik: Anytime we get a chance to talk about breakfast, the better, and the more people we can talk about it, we’ll rile some folks up.
[0:58:36 – 0:58:38] Adam: I just scored a free pack of bacon today.
[0:58:38 – 0:58:41] Erik: I’m sure y’all will rile us up.
[0:58:41 – 0:58:44] Erik: We’ll post that on all the places, but that’ll be in a couple weeks.
[0:58:44 – 0:58:46] Adam: We won’t get too- Has anybody made waffles in camp?
[0:58:47 – 0:58:49] Adam: I want one of those little waffle makers.
[0:58:49 – 0:58:50] Adam: That’s what I want to get.
[0:58:50 – 0:58:54] Erik: A little pudgy pie that has the indented squares.
[0:58:54 – 0:58:54] Adam: Yeah.
[0:58:55 – 0:59:01] Adam: I think we should have waffles when we’re out on Ensign later this year.
[0:59:01 – 0:59:01] Erik: Sure.
[0:59:02 – 0:59:03] Erik: So you can look forward to that.
[0:59:03 – 0:59:05] Erik: You can also look forward to…
[0:59:07 – 0:59:09] Erik: The championship coverage next week.
[0:59:09 – 0:59:17] Erik: I think we might be slowly phasing out the Express episodes now that I’m actually working again.
[0:59:17 – 0:59:19] Erik: I’m back up at Clearwater.
[0:59:19 – 0:59:21] Erik: I put in a bunch of flooring.
[0:59:21 – 0:59:23] Erik: How exciting is that?
[0:59:23 – 0:59:24] Adam: Sweet.
[0:59:24 – 0:59:24] Adam: Sweet.
[0:59:25 – 0:59:27] Adam: Sweet, sweet sweat equity.
[0:59:27 – 0:59:27] Adam: Yeah.
[0:59:27 – 0:59:30] Adam: That’s what makes the world go round.
[0:59:31 – 0:59:35] Adam: As promised, I did make it to the anchor bar yesterday.
[0:59:35 – 0:59:36] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:59:36 – 0:59:37] Erik: That’s what we’re going to finish on.
[0:59:37 – 0:59:38] Erik: How was the anchor bar?
[0:59:38 – 0:59:40] Adam: We’ve talked about it last fall on Pops and Wheels.
[0:59:41 – 0:59:43] Adam: So, yeah, everybody was really high on anchor bar.
[0:59:43 – 0:59:44] Adam: I’d never been.
[0:59:45 – 0:59:48] Adam: And found ourselves in the Twin Ports yesterday at Earth Rider.
[0:59:49 – 0:59:56] Adam: If anybody’s been in there, they, like, laser your forehead temperature and clear you to come in.
[0:59:57 – 0:59:59] Adam: It seemed, oh, there we go.
[0:59:59 – 1:00:00] Adam: I got an Earth Rider.
[1:00:00 – 1:00:02] Adam: Yeah, let’s pop it.
[1:00:02 – 1:00:04] Erik: That’s for the Hoosiers cast coming up next.
[1:00:04 – 1:00:07] Adam: We’re going to have that for Hoosiers.
[1:00:07 – 1:00:15] Adam: So we’re in Earth Rider having a couple pints, and I kind of pull up my phone because I figured we were close, but as I said, I’ve never even been there.
[1:00:15 – 1:00:16] Adam: I was like, I think it’s around here.
[1:00:17 – 1:00:18] Adam: I can smell those burgers.
[1:00:19 – 1:00:19] Adam: So I pulled up.
[1:00:19 – 1:00:21] Adam: It was literally like two blocks south.
[1:00:22 – 1:00:24] Adam: And I’m like, we got to go to Anchor Bar for lunch.
[1:00:25 – 1:00:28] Adam: So we pull in there, and it was incredible.
[1:00:29 – 1:00:29] Adam: Yeah?
[1:00:29 – 1:00:36] Adam: And we sit down, and the waitress comes over, and she says, anything to drink?
[1:00:36 – 1:00:39] Adam: And I kind of look, and they had New Glarus on tap.
[1:00:39 – 1:00:42] Adam: And I go, I’ll have a New Glarus that Spotted Cow is on tap.
[1:00:43 – 1:00:45] Adam: And she goes, regular or large?
[1:00:45 – 1:00:46] Adam: And I go, large.
[1:00:47 – 1:00:50] Adam: And then everybody around the table proceeded to order a large New Glarus.
[1:00:51 – 1:00:55] Adam: She comes out with like, it’s like bowling league and everybody got their own plastic pitcher.
[1:00:56 – 1:00:56] Erik: That’s a large?
[1:00:57 – 1:00:59] Adam: A large is literally a pitcher of beer.
[1:00:59 – 1:00:59] Adam: Nice.
[1:00:59 – 1:01:02] Adam: So we each got our own pitcher of Spotted Cow.
[1:01:02 – 1:01:04] Adam: And then we’re ordering, I got the Anchor Burger.
[1:01:05 – 1:01:13] Adam: It’s like, you know, I think it’s two-third pound burger with all the fixings, lettuce, tomato, onion.
[1:01:13 – 1:01:15] Adam: And then it says in there, it goes onion.
[1:01:15 – 1:01:18] Adam: Onion comes on all burgers, fried or raw.
[1:01:18 – 1:01:20] Adam: So then I go off the Anchor Burger.
[1:01:21 – 1:01:22] Adam: She goes, onions?
[1:01:22 – 1:01:24] Adam: I said, yes, fried, please.
[1:01:24 – 1:01:25] Adam: So I was on top of it.
[1:01:26 – 1:01:27] Erik Announcer Voice: It’s always nice.
[1:01:27 – 1:01:30] Adam: With the fries, the fries are like In-N-Out style.
[1:01:30 – 1:01:33] Adam: They must be fresh cutting them directly into the deep fryer.
[1:01:34 – 1:01:57] Adam: nice and uh so we got our big beers the burgers are amazing they have a roll of paper towel in the center of the table like on a spindle this is gonna be messy you just know and there’s great nautical theme uh stuff all over the wall i mean you just you know it’s cash only it’s got to be some sort of racket uh because like the bill comes for four of us and it was like 42 dollars
[1:01:58 – 1:02:19] Adam: wow we each got our own pitcher and a full plate of meat burger and like french fries the pitchers are two dollars the burgers are eight i don’t even like ketchup that much i don’t use a ton but the ketchup bottle on the table was the size of the pitcher of beer oh yeah i’m sure and so i had a little ketchup on my french fries but yeah somehow all that was 42 dollars
[1:02:20 – 1:02:21] Erik: Anchor bar.
[1:02:21 – 1:02:21] Erik: It’s cash only.
[1:02:22 – 1:02:22] Erik: Holds up.
[1:02:22 – 1:02:29] Adam: So I’m like, they’re putting that cash in a briefcase under some ore boat going to Detroit, paying off the mafia.
[1:02:29 – 1:02:30] Adam: What’s going on down there?
[1:02:30 – 1:02:31] Adam: I don’t even want to know.
[1:02:32 – 1:02:34] Adam: I’m a little suspicious, but man, it was good.
[1:02:35 – 1:02:36] Erik: The shipping lanes are open.
[1:02:37 – 1:02:38] Adam: There’s some big boats on the move.
[1:02:38 – 1:02:39] Adam: Yeah.
[1:02:39 – 1:02:40] Adam: The big boats are moving.
[1:02:40 – 1:02:42] Adam: Got to get this burger money out of port.
[1:02:43 – 1:02:43] Erik: Yep.
[1:02:43 – 1:02:45] Adam: I don’t know what’s going on, but I love it.
[1:02:45 – 1:02:48] Adam: I’m straight up like I’m never going to the Twin Ports without going to Anchor Bar again.
[1:02:48 – 1:02:49] Adam: So bring cash.
[1:02:49 – 1:02:50] Erik: Bring cash.
[1:02:50 – 1:02:52] Adam: You need to bring cash.
[1:02:53 – 1:02:59] Adam: I know there’s multiple people saying on the Grub episode, you got to just hold out and go for Anchor Bar on your way home.
[1:02:59 – 1:03:00] Adam: Now I totally get it.
[1:03:00 – 1:03:01] Erik: I get it.
[1:03:01 – 1:03:03] Adam: Plus, it’s right next to Earth Rider, so you can stop for a pint there.
[1:03:03 – 1:03:08] Adam: And they had these crawler cans at Earth Rider that were also the size of a pitcher.
[1:03:08 – 1:03:11] Adam: Like, it’s not a crawler.
[1:03:11 – 1:03:12] Adam: It’s like a prowler.
[1:03:12 – 1:03:13] Adam: A prowler.
[1:03:13 – 1:03:15] Adam: It’s a pictured crawler.
[1:03:15 – 1:03:16] Erik: A pictured crawler?
[1:03:16 – 1:03:17] Erik: I know there’s crawlers.
[1:03:17 – 1:03:18] Erik: I know there’s prowlers.
[1:03:19 – 1:03:20] Erik: Wait, I know there’s crawlers.
[1:03:21 – 1:03:22] Erik: I’ve never heard of prowlers.
[1:03:22 – 1:03:28] Adam: Then since we were across the Blatty Chungus over in Wisconsin, we went to the Aldi on that side.
[1:03:28 – 1:03:32] Adam: And instead of the produce section in the Aldi in Wisconsin, it’s all beer.
[1:03:33 – 1:03:33] Erik: No.
[1:03:34 – 1:03:34] Erik: No.
[1:03:34 – 1:03:35] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[1:03:35 – 1:03:39] Erik: No, the Aldi in Duluth versus the Aldi in Wisconsin.
[1:03:39 – 1:03:44] Erik: Oh, the cheese selection is vastly superior.
[1:03:44 – 1:03:51] Adam: I was like, man, we got to stop and get some more Spotted Cow, and we come around the corner, there’s a mountain of Spotted Cow just in the Aldi.
[1:03:51 – 1:03:51] Adam: Yeah.
[1:03:52 – 1:03:53] Adam: Wisconsin’s got it together.
[1:03:53 – 1:03:54] Adam: I kind of miss it sometimes.
[1:03:54 – 1:03:56] Erik: Now we’re just talking, so…
[1:03:56 – 1:03:58] Adam: So that’s the end of the episode.
[1:03:58 – 1:03:59] Adam: That’s why we put the story at the end.
[1:03:59 – 1:04:00] Erik: The story’s done.
[1:04:00 – 1:04:05] Adam: Turn it off if you don’t want to listen to me going back across the Blatnik.
[1:04:05 – 1:04:06] Adam: Across the Blatnik, you traitor.
[1:04:07 – 1:04:10] Erik: Well, we could transition into recording about Hoosiers.
[1:04:10 – 1:04:11] Erik: Yeah, we should.
[1:04:11 – 1:04:12] Erik: We can sprinkle in anchor trash.
[1:04:12 – 1:04:13] Adam: Well, thanks for this raspberry beer.
[1:04:13 – 1:04:16] Adam: Thank you, everybody that tuned in on the live feed.
[1:04:17 – 1:04:18] Erik: Cheers, y’all.
[1:04:18 – 1:04:19] Erik: Loon Culls versus Moose.
[1:04:19 – 1:04:20] Erik: It’s going to be a hell of a matchup.
[1:04:21 – 1:04:30] Erik: I don’t know if the mighty Moose can possibly sustain the popularity, but in actuality, if you were to think about it,
[1:04:31 – 1:04:38] Erik: Hard to see a moose going down to anything but a flock or a raft.
[1:04:39 – 1:04:46] Adam: Well, if you’re using your weight limit theory, you could have one big moose robot versus a whole flock of moose.
[1:04:47 – 1:04:48] Adam: I know it’s not a flock.
[1:04:48 – 1:04:48] Adam: All right.
[1:04:50 – 1:04:51] Adam: Rock fact checked on the fly.
[1:04:51 – 1:04:54] Adam: I don’t know what a group of gavia emmer is, but…
[1:04:54 – 1:04:54] Erik: Cheers.
[1:04:54 – 1:04:58] Adam: Anybody on the chat know what a group of loons is?
[1:04:58 – 1:04:59] Adam: It’s definitely not a flock.
[1:05:00 – 1:05:01] Adam: Well, I know when they get together…
[1:05:01 – 1:05:01] Adam: It’s a gang of loons.
[1:05:02 – 1:05:06] Erik: When they get together in the fall, they’re called rafts when they get in big groups before they fly out.
[1:05:06 – 1:05:10] Adam: So we got a raft of little loon bots versus one big moose bot.
[1:05:10 – 1:05:11] Erik: Well, that’s a poking.
[1:05:12 – 1:05:13] Adam: They’re going to…
[1:05:14 – 1:05:15] Adam: Puncture the hoof.
[1:05:16 – 1:05:16] Adam: Hashtag.
[1:05:17 – 1:05:18] Adam: Hoof punctures.
