[0:00:21 – 0:00:21] UNKNOWN: ¶Â¶
[0:00:36 – 0:00:43] Adam: Check out, I’m blonde, I’m skinny, I’m rich, and I’m a little bit of a bitch.
[0:00:43 – 0:00:47] Adam: My name is Terry Davenport for Tumble Home Sports Network.
[0:00:48 – 0:00:52] Adam: Joining me here in Studio V is my dear friend Jim Sofa.
[0:00:52 – 0:00:53] Adam: Good evening, Jim.
[0:00:53 – 0:00:53] Erik: Good evening.
[0:00:53 – 0:01:01] Erik: I thought you were going to say that you were the Sandhill Crane based on that description, but they of course are not in this tournament to the dismay of many online.
[0:01:01 – 0:01:02] Adam: Fly away home.
[0:01:03 – 0:01:04] Adam: Get out of here.
[0:01:05 – 0:01:08] Adam: Now, Sandhill Crane is not in.
[0:01:09 – 0:01:11] Adam: Indigo Buntings, not in.
[0:01:11 – 0:01:13] Adam: The Yellow Rumped Warbler, not in.
[0:01:13 – 0:01:14] Erik: The committee has spoken.
[0:01:14 – 0:01:17] Erik: I don’t understand what people think is going to happen.
[0:01:19 – 0:01:20] Erik: record scratch.
[0:01:20 – 0:01:24] Erik: You’re not going to believe this, but we’re redoing the entire process.
[0:01:24 – 0:01:27] Adam: We’ve upset a lot of people, Jim.
[0:01:28 – 0:01:34] Adam: The committee, I should say, the committee has upset a lot of people by leaving out certain birds
[0:01:35 – 0:02:01] Adam: there’s only 64 spots in the tournament though and not every bird can get in so um you’re going to be disappointing somebody but um some valid concerns there the butter butts are not in but there’s plenty of great warblers to choose from um the black bernians are strong they won the warbler conference and the the northern perula is in a beautiful blue warbler come on um
[0:02:03 – 0:02:05] Adam: Not everybody’s favorite bird can make it in every year.
[0:02:05 – 0:02:10] Adam: I think there’s some people that are mad about the, the loonlings and the spring peepers getting in.
[0:02:11 – 0:02:12] Erik: Oh, nobody’s mad about the peepers.
[0:02:12 – 0:02:13] Erik: Come on.
[0:02:13 – 0:02:13] Erik: They’re 15 seed.
[0:02:13 – 0:02:14] Erik: What are they going to do?
[0:02:15 – 0:02:15] Adam: Yeah.
[0:02:15 – 0:02:19] Adam: Somebody was griping that the pine siskin got, uh, gotten right.
[0:02:19 – 0:02:19] Adam: Like,
[0:02:20 – 0:02:23] Adam: They made it in, but they got as a 14 seed, like, shafted.
[0:02:24 – 0:02:26] Adam: The Pine Siskins, too low of a seed.
[0:02:26 – 0:02:27] Adam: So, you know.
[0:02:27 – 0:02:29] Adam: Hey, they’re in, and anything can happen.
[0:02:29 – 0:02:31] Adam: And it looked like a lot of people voted, Jim.
[0:02:32 – 0:02:32] Adam: I can’t wait.
[0:02:32 – 0:02:34] Adam: We got a lot of votes this week.
[0:02:35 – 0:02:39] Erik: The best round of any tournament is the first round.
[0:02:39 – 0:02:40] Erik: Absolutely.
[0:02:40 – 0:02:43] Erik: Specifically, any kind of a 64-team tournament.
[0:02:43 – 0:02:44] Erik: It’s just wild.
[0:02:44 – 0:02:46] Erik: They call it madness for a reason.
[0:02:46 – 0:02:47] Erik: It’s mad.
[0:02:47 – 0:02:48] Erik: Yeah.
[0:02:48 – 0:02:52] Erik: But also the first round of the NHL, NBAs.
[0:02:52 – 0:02:58] Erik: I’m not into it at all, but it looks like there’s more interesting things going on in the NBA this year than most years.
[0:02:58 – 0:03:05] Erik: Usually NBA is very chalky, but there’s some interesting developments happening in there.
[0:03:06 – 0:03:12] Erik: But we should say the Lovebirds also left out of the Birdament.
[0:03:12 – 0:03:13] Erik: The Lovebirds didn’t make it.
[0:03:16 – 0:03:19] Adam: Yeah, that was a real shame.
[0:03:19 – 0:03:27] Adam: I went all the way to San Francisco to find the perfect pair of lovebirds, and then they just weren’t allowed to be in the tournament at all.
[0:03:28 – 0:03:34] Erik: Yeah, you just popped down to San Francisco to go to the wild slash exotic animal store?
[0:03:34 – 0:03:39] Adam: Yeah, they got all the best zoo and pet stores on the West Coast, especially in San Fran.
[0:03:39 – 0:03:43] Adam: So I did pop over there this week to pick up some lovebirds, but no, apparently…
[0:03:44 – 0:03:47] Adam: They’re not actually Boundary Waters birds.
[0:03:47 – 0:03:48] Erik: They’re all up in Bodega Bay now.
[0:03:50 – 0:03:53] Adam: Why would anybody end up in Bodega Bay, Eric?
[0:03:53 – 0:03:53] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:03:53 – 0:03:54] Adam: I don’t know, Jim.
[0:03:54 – 0:03:58] Erik: TCC this week, if you haven’t picked up on it yet.
[0:03:58 – 0:04:00] Adam: I did finally get to watch the birds.
[0:04:00 – 0:04:01] Erik: You finally got to see it.
[0:04:01 – 0:04:02] Adam: I watched it last night.
[0:04:02 – 0:04:03] Adam: I stayed up so late.
[0:04:03 – 0:04:05] Erik: can’t wait to talk to you about this movie.
[0:04:06 – 0:04:11] Erik: Um, just not to get into too many spoilers for, uh, the birds.
[0:04:11 – 0:04:20] Erik: How familiar are you with, um, um, Albert Hinchcliffe’s, uh, vast library of, uh,
[0:04:22 – 0:04:25] Adam: I don’t know if I’ve seen any Hinchcliffe movies.
[0:04:26 – 0:04:26] Adam: Really?
[0:04:27 – 0:04:28] Adam: What else has he done?
[0:04:29 – 0:04:29] Adam: Psycho?
[0:04:30 – 0:04:31] Adam: I’ve seen Psycho.
[0:04:31 – 0:04:34] Erik: North by Northwest?
[0:04:34 – 0:04:38] Adam: I think I got to watch North by Northwest in film school.
[0:04:38 – 0:04:39] Erik: Rear Window?
[0:04:40 – 0:04:40] Adam: No.
[0:04:41 – 0:04:41] Erik: Wow.
[0:04:41 – 0:04:42] Adam: No way.
[0:04:42 – 0:04:43] Erik: Rear Window is a classic.
[0:04:44 – 0:04:45] Adam: Vertigo?
[0:04:45 – 0:04:48] Adam: I don’t think I’ve seen Vertigo either.
[0:04:49 – 0:04:49] Erik: Rebecca?
[0:04:49 – 0:04:50] Adam: Are they all from the 60s?
[0:04:52 – 0:04:52] Erik: 50s?
[0:04:53 – 0:04:55] Erik: The Birds is one of his last movies.
[0:04:55 – 0:04:58] Adam: The only one that’s in color and in English.
[0:04:59 – 0:05:00] Erik: No, that’s not true.
[0:05:00 – 0:05:07] Erik: But yeah, I remember I just have so many memories from this movie of seeing it growing up.
[0:05:08 – 0:05:10] Erik: Oddly enough, my parents would put this on.
[0:05:11 – 0:05:13] Erik: And we’ll talk about it.
[0:05:14 – 0:05:15] Erik: Why would they do that?
[0:05:15 – 0:05:16] Erik: I’m not sure.
[0:05:16 – 0:05:20] Erik: I’m not really sure what use.
[0:05:20 – 0:05:21] Erik: I mean, they probably liked it.
[0:05:22 – 0:05:24] Erik: I think they must have liked Hinchcliffe movies.
[0:05:27 – 0:05:29] Adam: Yeah, I mean, I would say that it’s…
[0:05:30 – 0:05:31] Erik: It’s not for a 10-year-old, that’s for sure.
[0:05:32 – 0:05:32] Erik: No.
[0:05:32 – 0:05:41] Erik: Not that it’s horribly scary, gruesome, or sexual, but the first hour is real slow.
[0:05:41 – 0:05:42] Erik: The bird, yeah.
[0:05:42 – 0:05:43] Adam: Real slow.
[0:05:43 – 0:05:45] Adam: The bird noises are scary.
[0:05:45 – 0:05:46] Erik: The bird noises get to be a little much.
[0:05:47 – 0:05:49] Erik: There’s a lot of eye holes, bloody eye holes.
[0:05:49 – 0:05:49] Adam: Yeah.
[0:05:50 – 0:05:51] Erik: That’s not good for the youth.
[0:05:52 – 0:05:55] Adam: I was sending Eric bloody eyehole memes this morning.
[0:05:55 – 0:05:57] Adam: So you looked like this morning when you got up?
[0:05:58 – 0:05:58] Adam: Yeah.
[0:05:59 – 0:06:01] Adam: I was feeling pretty rough this morning.
[0:06:02 – 0:06:09] Adam: Still am, but I’m going to fight through this thing like a herring gull into the stiff breeze.
[0:06:10 – 0:06:10] Erik: Yeah.
[0:06:10 – 0:06:14] Erik: Well, we’re going to run down the results of the first round of the Birdament.
[0:06:14 – 0:06:16] Erik: Second round voting is now currently active.
[0:06:16 – 0:06:17] Erik: It’s currently live.
[0:06:18 – 0:06:22] Erik: Voting links, again, same links were active in the first round.
[0:06:22 – 0:06:25] Erik: I will attach them into this week’s show notes as well.
[0:06:25 – 0:06:26] Erik: You can find that on Reddit.
[0:06:26 – 0:06:38] Erik: I’m sure there’s all kinds of links being posted onto the Discord or whatever Slack server you guys have set up now to keep, you know,
[0:06:39 – 0:06:41] Erik: To keep that alive in as many places as possible.
[0:06:43 – 0:06:45] Erik: But yeah, we’re going to do that.
[0:06:45 – 0:06:48] Erik: And then, yes, TCC this week, the birds.
[0:06:49 – 0:06:50] Erik: Is it an allegory?
[0:06:51 – 0:06:52] Erik: Well, I’m not sure.
[0:06:52 – 0:06:52] Erik: We’re going to talk about it.
[0:06:53 – 0:06:53] Erik: We are going to talk about it.
[0:06:53 – 0:06:54] Adam: What does it mean?
[0:06:54 – 0:06:56] Adam: Did you post Lister’s?
[0:06:56 – 0:06:57] Adam: Is Lister’s live?
[0:06:57 – 0:06:58] Adam: Lister’s is live.
[0:06:58 – 0:06:59] Erik: Okay.
[0:06:59 – 0:06:59] Erik: Yes.
[0:06:59 – 0:07:00] Adam: I didn’t see any link.
[0:07:00 – 0:07:01] Erik: Bird month.
[0:07:02 – 0:07:02] Adam: Bird month.

[0:07:09 – 0:07:10] Erik: I don’t know where…
[0:07:10 – 0:07:15] Erik: I guess I could just post it on Reddit to be like, hey, here’s this thing that’s buying a paywall.
[0:07:15 – 0:07:16] Adam: Yeah, you should.
[0:07:16 – 0:07:17] Erik: Yeah, I guess I could.
[0:07:17 – 0:07:27] Erik: Maybe they would drum up a little bit of conversation occasionally, because sometimes there is an opportunity for people to comment on Patreon, but it’s such a… Oh.
[0:07:27 – 0:07:28] Erik: It’s…
[0:07:29 – 0:07:49] Erik: it’s like uh the one percent of an already niche podcast so it’s not uh there’s not a whole lot of conversation happening on there but maybe we can change that uh we’re definitely going to do the fourth kind coming up uh there’s a and we are going to re-release fly away home at some point

[0:09:51 – 0:09:52] Adam: Sponsored by the ABA.
[0:09:53 – 0:09:58] Adam: And we’re also sponsored by DraftKingsGameBet365.espn.smashthecash.com.
[0:10:02 – 0:10:03] Adam: Yes, good.
[0:10:03 – 0:10:07] Adam: Yeah, I mean, they’ve really been generous for us, so we appreciate that.
[0:10:08 – 0:10:11] Adam: This year’s tournament is, of course, in Technicolor and in English.
[0:10:12 – 0:10:12] Erik: Of course.
[0:10:12 – 0:10:15] Adam: So get that Latin out of here.
[0:10:15 – 0:10:17] Adam: Yeah.
[0:10:17 – 0:10:31] Adam: Yeah, we have eight thrilling mini tournaments to start out round one, eight nice locations that we’re going to be visiting tonight to find out who the voters have sided with here in the first round.
[0:10:33 – 0:10:38] Adam: We’re definitely going to be, I think, going to try and hit up our locks of the week before we get into it.
[0:10:39 – 0:10:43] Adam: Before we get there, though, did you hear about the mountain lions?
[0:10:43 – 0:10:44] Erik: Yes, I did hear.
[0:10:44 – 0:10:54] Adam: Admiral Geary posted a YouTube video that got released by the Wolf Project folks in Voyager National Park, and they got mountain lion kittens.
[0:10:55 – 0:10:57] Erik: The video was just shared by him.
[0:10:57 – 0:10:58] Adam: It was shared.
[0:10:58 – 0:10:59] Adam: It’s not his video.
[0:10:59 – 0:11:01] Erik: I was going to say it wasn’t from his property or something.
[0:11:01 – 0:11:03] Erik: He’s got a Puma den going.
[0:11:03 – 0:11:05] Adam: He’s got a den in Oldwood.
[0:11:05 – 0:11:07] Adam: Cultivating wild cats in the Holden property.
[0:11:07 – 0:11:09] Adam: Admiral Gary, he’s a sly cat.
[0:11:09 – 0:11:10] Adam: Yeah.
[0:11:11 – 0:11:15] Adam: Um, yeah, I mean, a lot of people I have talked to have seen mountain lions.
[0:11:16 – 0:11:26] Adam: I’ve, I’ve thought I’ve maybe have seen a mountain lion run across the road in the night, but never anything where I would say for sure, but it’s pretty common knowledge that they’re up here.
[0:11:26 – 0:11:32] Adam: Um, and it’s always just been the story that they’re all they’re traveling through, or it’s a transient or whatever individual here and there.
[0:11:33 – 0:11:34] Adam: They’re not breeding.
[0:11:34 – 0:11:35] Adam: Well, they are.
[0:11:36 – 0:11:42] Adam: For sure, confirmed this week, four mountain lion kittens were born in Minnesota, probably last fall.
[0:11:44 – 0:11:45] Adam: And what’s going to happen next?
[0:11:45 – 0:11:46] Adam: Who knows?
[0:11:47 – 0:11:48] Erik: You’re probably going to get stalked.
[0:11:49 – 0:11:50] Adam: Prepare to be stalked.
[0:11:51 – 0:11:52] Adam: Drop that permit.
[0:11:52 – 0:11:53] Adam: Just stay home.
[0:11:53 – 0:11:55] Erik: Yeah, no, the bonjour is too dangerous now.
[0:11:55 – 0:11:57] Adam: Black bears and wild cats.
[0:11:58 – 0:11:59] Adam: And those wolves.
[0:11:59 – 0:12:01] Adam: Yeah, and those wolves.
[0:12:01 – 0:12:03] Adam: And little mice that will steal your peanuts.
[0:12:04 – 0:12:07] Erik: The feisty, feisty Woodcocks who will peck out an eye.
[0:12:07 – 0:12:10] Adam: I didn’t know Woodcocks were named Timberdoodles.
[0:12:10 – 0:12:11] Adam: I love that.
[0:12:11 – 0:12:12] Erik: I have heard that before.
[0:12:12 – 0:12:18] Erik: I feel like in the past we’ve talked about them and the Timberdoodle has come up, but now it’s fully in the fore.
[0:12:18 – 0:12:25] Adam: I would say for other folks, I think the Timberdoodles are the number one lock of the week based on the memes alone.
[0:12:25 – 0:12:26] Adam: Seems like it.
[0:12:26 – 0:12:28] Adam: People are really hot for the Woodcock.
[0:12:29 – 0:12:31] Adam: So watch out for that five seed.
[0:12:31 – 0:12:33] Adam: I don’t think Turkey Vulture has a chance.
[0:12:34 – 0:12:37] Adam: Chopped Unks agree that the Turkey Vulture is disgusting.
[0:12:37 – 0:12:42] Erik: The Chopped Unk contingent?
[0:12:42 – 0:12:46] Adam: You never know what kind of new slang is going to show up on Tumbleum Sports Network.
[0:12:49 – 0:12:50] Adam: Yeah.
[0:12:50 – 0:12:54] Adam: Do you have a lock of the week in mind?
[0:12:54 – 0:12:58] Adam: Are you going to save it for when we get to that matchup before we announce the scores?
[0:12:58 – 0:13:00] Erik: How do you want to handle our locks of the week?
[0:13:01 – 0:13:01] Adam: I mean.
[0:13:01 – 0:13:02] Adam: I got one.
[0:13:02 – 0:13:03] Adam: Okay, well.
[0:13:03 – 0:13:04] Adam: I got one, Jim.
[0:13:04 – 0:13:06] Erik: Open up the, let’s do the sponsors.
[0:13:06 – 0:13:06] Adam: I am thirsty.
[0:13:06 – 0:13:07] Adam: As we’re.
[0:13:08 – 0:13:10] Adam: This one came in November.
[0:13:10 – 0:13:14] Adam: This came in right around Thanksgiving, it looks like.
[0:13:15 – 0:13:17] Adam: And it was FedExed right to the co-op.
[0:13:19 – 0:13:28] Adam: And I don’t know what’s in here, but I did open it up, as you can see by the tape job here, just to make sure it was actually art supplies because it wasn’t clear from the outside.
[0:13:28 – 0:13:29] Adam: There you go.
[0:13:30 – 0:13:31] Adam: He’s getting that.
[0:13:32 – 0:13:32] Adam: Wow.
[0:13:36 – 0:13:38] Adam: We got a wrist rocket.
[0:13:38 – 0:13:40] Adam: They just sent a wrist rocket.
[0:13:40 – 0:13:42] Adam: We got sent a wrist rocket.
[0:13:42 – 0:13:47] Erik: So we’re going to be going out and actively trying to destroy all of the losers this week.
[0:13:49 – 0:13:50] Adam: This is for drones, I believe.
[0:13:51 – 0:13:55] Adam: I think we talked about how we wanted to be able to shoot drones down with a wrist rocket.
[0:13:56 – 0:13:59] Adam: But you could probably get some grouse for dinner with this thing.
[0:13:59 – 0:14:00] Erik: Float plane?
[0:14:00 – 0:14:03] Adam: Yeah, take out the float planes.
[0:14:03 – 0:14:04] Adam: That’s a nice unit right there.
[0:14:05 – 0:14:08] Erik: Yeah, that thing looks pretty sweet.
[0:14:08 – 0:14:09] Adam: Okay, so there’s a wrist rocket.
[0:14:10 – 0:14:13] Adam: I’ll let Eric read the damn note.
[0:14:17 – 0:14:19] Erik: Adam and Eric, spelled correctly.
[0:14:19 – 0:14:26] Erik: Thanks for your years of content and laughter.
[0:14:28 – 0:14:32] Erik: The podcast is one of the highlights of my week.
[0:14:33 – 0:14:36] Erik: Life is about having fun and building community.
[0:14:36 – 0:14:39] Erik: And the podcast checks both boxes.
[0:14:40 – 0:14:40] Erik: Thank you.
[0:14:41 – 0:14:42] Erik: That’s the second thank you.
[0:14:42 – 0:14:42] Adam: Thank you.
[0:14:42 – 0:14:43] Erik: Keep it up.
[0:14:43 – 0:14:44] Erik: Hey, there you go.
[0:14:44 – 0:14:45] Erik: We are keeping it up.
[0:14:47 – 0:14:51] Erik: Looking forward to taking my two oldest boys, seven and five, to the park next summer.
[0:14:52 – 0:14:53] Erik: Nice.
[0:14:53 – 0:14:59] Erik: We’ll probably have to get some information coming in from y’all about where you are going this year.
[0:14:59 – 0:15:01] Adam: Got some stickers here, it looks like.
[0:15:01 – 0:15:05] Erik: Yeah, look at that big envelope of stickers.
[0:15:05 – 0:15:06] Erik: Come on, Unc.
[0:15:07 – 0:15:08] Erik: Ooh, sweet.
[0:15:08 – 0:15:11] Adam: Ooh, the classic Gunplin Trail Land of Voyageurs sticker.
[0:15:11 – 0:15:13] Erik: That’s a great sticker.
[0:15:13 – 0:15:18] Adam: I remember finding one of these beneath the floorboards of Clearwater Lodge at one point.
[0:15:20 – 0:15:21] Adam: These are old ones.
[0:15:21 – 0:15:21] Adam: Yeah.
[0:15:22 – 0:15:23] Adam: Those are real nice.
[0:15:24 – 0:15:25] Erik: Enjoy the fine beer.
[0:15:25 – 0:15:27] Erik: Hope you find a good use for the wrist rocket.
[0:15:28 – 0:15:30] Erik: In parentheses, drone enforcement, perhaps?
[0:15:30 – 0:15:31] Adam: There we go.
[0:15:31 – 0:15:32] Adam: Yeah, I knew it was for the drones.
[0:15:32 – 0:15:33] Adam: I called it.
[0:15:33 – 0:15:33] Adam: Cheers.
[0:15:33 – 0:15:35] Adam: I like that they called it the wrist rocket, too.
[0:15:35 – 0:15:37] Erik: This is from Moose Goose.
[0:15:38 – 0:15:38] Erik: Moose Goose.
[0:15:38 – 0:15:39] Adam: Thank you.
[0:15:39 – 0:15:40] Erik: Moose Goose.
[0:15:40 – 0:15:42] Adam: These stickers are like collector’s items.
[0:15:43 – 0:15:47] Adam: Surprisingly, this guy has his chaps are all full ass.
[0:15:47 – 0:15:49] Erik: Full ass chaps.
[0:15:49 – 0:15:52] Adam: It’s like an old timey Voyager sticker.
[0:15:52 – 0:15:53] Adam: These are great.
[0:15:53 – 0:15:54] Erik: Good color.
[0:15:54 – 0:15:55] Erik: Good color scheme.
[0:15:55 – 0:15:56] Adam: Very nice.
[0:15:56 – 0:15:57] Adam: It looks like a Hinchcock film.
[0:15:58 – 0:16:00] Adam: That sticker is in Technicolor, Eric.
[0:16:02 – 0:16:02] Adam: What do we got here?
[0:16:02 – 0:16:05] Adam: We got a couple different tall boys here.
[0:16:05 – 0:16:08] Adam: A Czech-style Pilsner lager with a trout on it.
[0:16:10 – 0:16:11] Adam: Chuck’s Czech.
[0:16:11 – 0:16:13] Adam: Uncle Chuck’s Czech.
[0:16:14 – 0:16:17] Adam: Uncle Chuck, he’s not chopped.
[0:16:17 – 0:16:18] Erik: Chopped Uncle Czech?
[0:16:18 – 0:16:19] Erik: Chet?
[0:16:19 – 0:16:19] Erik: Chuck.
[0:16:20 – 0:16:25] Adam: And we got Bill’s Pills, Grandpa Bill’s Pills, Dry Hop Pills.
[0:16:25 – 0:16:26] Adam: There are ducks on that.
[0:16:26 – 0:16:28] Adam: This one’s got ducks.
[0:16:28 – 0:16:31] Adam: From Junkyard Brewing in Moorhead, Minnesota.
[0:16:31 – 0:16:33] Erik: We’re always going to find a way, but still.
[0:16:33 – 0:16:35] Adam: So we got trout and we got ducks.
[0:16:35 – 0:16:36] Erik: I got to start with a duck beer.
[0:16:36 – 0:16:38] Adam: Okay, here’s your duck beer.
[0:16:38 – 0:16:40] Erik: Is that a trout or is that a walleye?
[0:16:40 – 0:16:40] Adam: It’s a trout.
[0:16:41 – 0:16:43] Erik: Bell’s company isn’t going to come for them?
[0:16:43 – 0:16:46] Adam: This one’s got like a bass on it.
[0:16:46 – 0:16:46] Erik: Yeah.
[0:16:47 – 0:16:48] Adam: This is a big perch.
[0:16:48 – 0:16:49] Erik: That is a massive perch.
[0:16:49 – 0:16:50] Erik: That’s a huge perch.
[0:16:50 – 0:16:51] Adam: Jesus Christ.
[0:16:51 – 0:16:52] Erik: Girthy.
[0:16:52 – 0:16:53] Erik: Things ready to start spewing.
[0:16:54 – 0:16:55] Erik: Jesus crips.
[0:16:55 – 0:16:57] Erik: Let me see the one that has the trout on it.
[0:16:57 – 0:16:59] Erik: That one’s for sure a trout.
[0:16:59 – 0:17:01] Erik: It looks like a brown trout to me, Jim.
[0:17:02 – 0:17:03] Erik: I love this artwork.
[0:17:03 – 0:17:04] Erik: This is great.
[0:17:04 – 0:17:06] Erik: This is very classic cabin artwork.
[0:17:07 – 0:17:09] Adam: I’m going to go with the ducks as well.
[0:17:09 – 0:17:10] Adam: We’ll save the fish for later.
[0:17:12 – 0:17:15] Erik: Yeah, well, where are these things from?
[0:17:15 – 0:17:16] Adam: Moorhead.
[0:17:16 – 0:17:18] Erik: Grandpa Bill’s Pills.
[0:17:18 – 0:17:19] Erik: Dry hopped Pilsner.
[0:17:20 – 0:17:21] Erik: Junkyard Brewing Company.
[0:17:21 – 0:17:23] Erik: Moorhead.
[0:17:23 – 0:17:24] Erik: Moorhead.
[0:17:24 – 0:17:28] Erik: I love that we are both drinking the same beer, but we have two different artworks.
[0:17:28 – 0:17:33] Erik: I’ve got a pheasant, two different pheasant, and you’ve got ducks.
[0:17:33 – 0:17:36] Adam: I got a wood duck on here and a golden eye, it looks like, for sure.
[0:17:36 – 0:17:38] Adam: I got a couple contestants on mine.
[0:17:38 – 0:17:41] Adam: A lot of wet bird in this year’s tournament.
[0:17:43 – 0:17:45] Erik: Oh, my.
[0:17:46 – 0:17:47] Erik: Bill’s Pills.
[0:17:48 – 0:17:50] Adam: I did get a…
[0:17:52 – 0:17:55] Adam: I got my 100th lifer in the last week.
[0:17:55 – 0:17:56] Adam: Lifer.
[0:17:56 – 0:17:58] Adam: You finally claimed that flamingo?
[0:17:59 – 0:18:00] Adam: Yeah, I’m saying it’s real.
[0:18:01 – 0:18:01] Erik: It is real.
[0:18:02 – 0:18:02] Erik: A pink bird?
[0:18:02 – 0:18:03] Adam: What?
[0:18:03 – 0:18:04] Adam: It’s gotta be.
[0:18:06 – 0:18:07] Adam: Got the house finch for sure.
[0:18:07 – 0:18:08] Adam: I’m counting it now.
[0:18:08 – 0:18:10] Adam: So that’s 100 official lifers for me.
[0:18:11 – 0:18:19] Adam: Merlin’s trying to claim I got an Eastern Phoebe in the yard, which I haven’t gotten a definitive recording of it, and I haven’t seen it yet.
[0:18:19 – 0:18:35] Adam: So I’m not counting the Eastern Phoebe, but it did get me thinking on the topic of snubbed bird that perhaps we should have included the Phoebe because I was at one point looking at all the different lakes we’ve paddled to that are named for bird and making sure we got them in.
[0:18:35 – 0:18:40] Adam: We’ve definitely paddled Phoebe, but we don’t have a Phoebe in this tournament.
[0:18:41 – 0:18:43] Erik: Well, we have been to all the lakes, so.
[0:18:43 – 0:18:44] Adam: That’s true.
[0:18:45 – 0:18:45] Adam: So many lakes.
[0:18:45 – 0:18:47] Adam: Every single one of them.
[0:18:47 – 0:18:48] Adam: But I don’t know.
[0:18:48 – 0:18:57] Adam: The Phoebe that we were through is in the lady chain, so I think it’s named for a lady named Phoebe, not named after the bird Phoebe, but still, come on.
[0:18:57 – 0:18:58] Erik: The friends chain?
[0:19:00 – 0:19:01] Erik: Remember that old show?
[0:19:01 – 0:19:01] Erik: Monica.
[0:19:03 – 0:19:05] Erik: Chandler Creek.
[0:19:05 – 0:19:06] Erik: Monica Lake.
[0:19:06 – 0:19:08] Erik: I would never go to a Monica Lake.
[0:19:08 – 0:19:10] Erik: You would definitely go to Monica Lake.
[0:19:10 – 0:19:12] Erik: Sorry, all you Monicas out there.
[0:19:12 – 0:19:15] Adam: We just lost a couple extra Patreons there.
[0:19:15 – 0:19:18] Adam: All the Monicas just quit Patreon, Jim.
[0:19:18 – 0:19:19] Adam: They’re not happy.
[0:19:21 – 0:19:26] Adam: Brother was down in the tropics, and he got 139 new listers last week.
[0:19:28 – 0:19:50] Adam: yikes that’s what he just texted me this morning yeah he was trying for him i was gonna say that seems active active yeah he’s thirsty for bird so it is i mean he’s going for the big year he’s like yeah he is he’s like what are we cranking on here tropical birds tropical birds yeah we’re cranking on some tropical birds here uh so yeah he’s got a bunch of new ones for him
[0:19:52 – 0:20:20] Adam: uh yeah i don’t know i the spruce grouse was apparently snubbed i’ve i i have shot and eaten a spruce grouse but they’re not that common i’ll be honest most of the grouse you see are rough grouse and again you know it’s the grouse conference there’s only two grouse whoever wins the grouse conference gets in and whoever does not win the grouse conference i’m sorry they’re not in so the spruce grouse is a cool looking bird but um you’re not gonna get too grouse in here get real grow up come on
[0:20:21 – 0:20:22] Adam: Get real.
[0:20:22 – 0:20:22] Adam: Get real.
[0:20:23 – 0:20:24] Adam: Let’s be realistic here.
[0:20:25 – 0:20:26] Adam: Gotta spread it around.
[0:20:27 – 0:20:28] Adam: This Pills is delicious.
[0:20:28 – 0:20:28] Adam: It is.
[0:20:28 – 0:20:29] Adam: It’s really good.
[0:20:32 – 0:20:42] Adam: I was out trying to crank on some shorebirds and some agates on my lunch break, and I found a dollar bill on the beach, which then I picked up.
[0:20:42 – 0:20:50] Adam: I thought it was going to be like a prayer or some sort of prank where somebody had a fishing line on it, and they were going to pull it away towards the East Bay Suites on me.
[0:20:50 – 0:20:55] Erik: Finally, I grabbed it, and no, it’s just a real dirty dollar bill.
[0:20:55 – 0:21:20] Adam: just a loose buck beach buck beach bucks beach buck there’s no plovers down here i’m just getting beach bucks today no doesn’t count on your list i get what it beats a steelhead question mark so then i picked it up and then like bad things just started happening and like bad vibes bad omens and i decided after like 24 hours that that dollar bill is definitely haunted
[0:21:20 – 0:21:22] Erik: You threw it back out on the beach?
[0:21:22 – 0:21:28] Adam: So then on the advice of one of my coworkers, I signed it and said, I’m sorry for picking you up.
[0:21:28 – 0:21:29] Adam: Take your dollar back.
[0:21:30 – 0:21:34] Adam: And then signed it, signed my name to it, and put it back out on the beach where I found it.
[0:21:34 – 0:21:36] Adam: And then immediately the sun came out.
[0:21:37 – 0:21:39] Adam: And then things turned around.
[0:21:39 – 0:21:40] Adam: I had a pretty good rest of my week.
[0:21:40 – 0:21:45] Erik: And Steelhead jumped right in your pants.
[0:21:45 – 0:21:48] Adam: He got right into my waders, and he’s still wiggling.
[0:21:48 – 0:21:49] Adam: Still wiggling.
[0:21:52 – 0:22:13] Adam: uh he’s a slippery unk yeah uh so anyway be careful when you’re out on the beach uh don’t just automatically and i mean honestly who’s even bending over to pick up a dollar bill in this economy yeah right uh what number uh it’s a single dollar what number would you need to see on that bill for you to forego uh a cursing
[0:22:15 – 0:22:20] Adam: Yeah, I guess if I see a 10, I don’t care how cursed it is, just quick pick it up and go spend it.
[0:22:20 – 0:22:23] Adam: But I don’t think if you spend it, then you doesn’t lift the curse.
[0:22:23 – 0:22:31] Adam: I think the only way to reverse a haunted money is you got to sign it away back to Gitche Gumee.
[0:22:31 – 0:22:34] Adam: Yeah, if you spend it, you just get like… Then you get tripled down.
[0:22:34 – 0:22:36] Erik: Yeah, you just get deeper, deep in the shag.
[0:22:36 – 0:22:38] Adam: Yep, you’re in real trouble then.
[0:22:39 – 0:22:41] Adam: Then you got to, I don’t know what you do at that point.
[0:22:42 – 0:22:43] Adam: You’re going to have to hire somebody.
[0:22:43 – 0:22:44] Erik: I’m not sure what you do.
[0:22:44 – 0:22:47] Adam: You’re going to have to hire a shaman immediately.
[0:22:47 – 0:22:49] Adam: I dodged a bullet.
[0:22:49 – 0:22:51] Adam: I really did dodge a bullet with that one.
[0:22:51 – 0:22:52] Erik: I’m happy to hear that.
[0:22:53 – 0:22:54] Adam: It was a little scary there.
[0:22:54 – 0:22:55] Adam: It was a little too real.
[0:22:57 – 0:23:00] Adam: Well, that does bring us to our chunk, chunk, chunk, chunk.
[0:23:01 – 0:23:01] Adam: Lock of the Weeks.
[0:23:03 – 0:23:03] Adam: I’ll start.
[0:23:03 – 0:23:05] Adam: Okay.
[0:23:05 – 0:23:07] Adam: And if you don’t want to list one right now, that’s fine.
[0:23:07 – 0:23:09] Adam: But I do want to get mine out.
[0:23:09 – 0:23:16] Adam: I’m going to go with the Harry Woodpecker over here in the Atacocan Municipal Prison and Dump.
[0:23:16 – 0:23:19] Adam: Open seven days a week.
[0:23:19 – 0:23:19] Adam: Nice.
[0:23:19 – 0:23:24] Adam: Harry Woodpecker, the five seed going up against the 12 seed Grackle.
[0:23:25 – 0:23:27] Adam: We’re very much at home at the dump.
[0:23:28 – 0:23:31] Adam: But I’m locking in, baby.
[0:23:31 – 0:23:36] Adam: Nobody out there is talking about the woodpeckers really in general, and there’s a lot of good woodpecker in this year’s tournament.
[0:23:36 – 0:23:40] Erik: Nobody is talking about the hairy woodpecker, but everybody is slagging the grackles.
[0:23:41 – 0:23:44] Adam: Yeah, there is a lot of hate on the grackles, and rightfully so.
[0:23:44 – 0:23:48] Adam: They’re basically hanging out at any old gas station or dump.
[0:23:48 – 0:23:48] Erik: Yeah.
[0:23:49 – 0:23:52] Adam: And although they are iridescent and beautiful…
[0:23:54 – 0:23:57] Erik: I don’t mind a grackle in the wild, but yeah, a grackle in a dumpster, that’s different.
[0:23:58 – 0:23:58] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:23:58 – 0:24:00] Adam: I’ve never seen a hairy woodpecker in a dumpster.
[0:24:01 – 0:24:07] Adam: I’ve definitely got to watch them on my bird feeder all winter, though, and they’re very, very nice.
[0:24:07 – 0:24:09] Adam: So there you go.
[0:24:09 – 0:24:11] Adam: That’s Terry Davenport.
[0:24:11 – 0:24:13] Adam: Chunk, chunk, chunk, chunk.
[0:24:13 – 0:24:13] Adam: I got a week.
[0:24:14 – 0:24:14] Erik: Lock it in.
[0:24:14 – 0:24:15] Adam: I’m not.
[0:24:17 – 0:24:17] Adam: Grandpa Bill?
[0:24:18 – 0:24:19] Adam: Bill’s Bills.
[0:24:19 – 0:24:22] Adam: Ooh, it felt good to get that lock out again.
[0:24:24 – 0:24:24] Adam: The big lock.
[0:24:24 – 0:24:25] Adam: Yeah, the big lock is out here.
[0:24:25 – 0:24:27] Adam: We got a big old lock.
[0:24:27 – 0:24:29] Adam: We got a wrist rocket on the table.
[0:24:29 – 0:24:35] Adam: We got a huge paper, made out of parchment, beautiful bracket here.
[0:24:35 – 0:24:40] Erik: Yeah, we got our homemade paper came in way earlier than expected.
[0:24:40 – 0:24:42] Adam: Yeah, we even got the pen.
[0:24:42 – 0:24:48] Erik: And, yeah, well, this is just a holding pen to see who wins, and then we will make a pen out of that bird’s feather.
[0:24:48 – 0:24:49] Erik: The champion, yeah.
[0:24:49 – 0:24:50] Erik: Loon feather quill.
[0:24:51 – 0:24:51] Erik: That’s right.
[0:24:51 – 0:24:52] Erik: That would be amazing.
[0:24:52 – 0:24:57] Erik: Probably illegal, but, you know, who’s going to stop us?
[0:24:58 – 0:25:00] Adam: Only we can stop ourselves.
[0:25:00 – 0:25:03] Erik: Worst case, we’ll lose our ABA sanctionment.
[0:25:03 – 0:25:05] Adam: That wouldn’t be great, yeah.
[0:25:05 – 0:25:06] Erik: It wouldn’t be great, but you know.
[0:25:06 – 0:25:09] Adam: I’d rather be affiliated with the ABA than Coco Ra’s.
[0:25:09 – 0:25:11] Erik: The American Basketball Association.
[0:25:11 – 0:25:12] Erik: Of course, the ABA.
[0:25:16 – 0:25:17] Erik: My lock of the week?
[0:25:17 – 0:25:18] Erik: Boy, I don’t know.
[0:25:19 – 0:25:20] Erik: I mean, there’s so many.
[0:25:20 – 0:25:33] Erik: I feel like the first round is rife with them, but I’m going to go with a matchup that is one that I can see from where I’m sitting, and I’m going to have to go ahead and…
[0:25:35 – 0:25:53] Erik: take the uh the smooth boys because i don’t know if there’s a bird that looks better than the cedar wax wings yes underrepresented under talked about there’s no chatter this week yeah i gotta tell you what though jim that’s a that’s gonna be i think a close one the 7-10 match up there against the hermit thrush
[0:25:54 – 0:25:55] Erik: Yeah, well, I’ve got balls.
[0:25:55 – 0:25:57] Erik: I’m not taking a five over a 12.
[0:25:57 – 0:25:58] Adam: No, that’s a pretty exciting lock.
[0:25:59 – 0:26:01] Erik: It’s like, oh, the loons are locking the loons.
[0:26:02 – 0:26:03] Erik: I’m also just let it be known if it is not.
[0:26:03 – 0:26:05] Adam: Five is not a one seat.
[0:26:05 – 0:26:05] Adam: It’s not clear.
[0:26:06 – 0:26:08] Erik: I am off the loon bandwagon.
[0:26:08 – 0:26:12] Erik: I hope they don’t make it back from the Gulf Coast.
[0:26:12 – 0:26:20] Adam: I know you want to see some variety, but I know that we also could not do this tournament without the undefeated loons in the bracket.
[0:26:20 – 0:26:24] Adam: So, as we always do, put it to the voters and see.
[0:26:24 – 0:26:29] Adam: And there’s nothing wrong with sharing your opinions and your passions there, Jim.
[0:26:30 – 0:26:30] Erik: Good.
[0:26:31 – 0:26:32] Adam: That’s a good lock of the week, though.
[0:26:32 – 0:26:36] Adam: I did actually get a hermit thrush, though, this morning in the yard.
[0:26:37 – 0:26:39] Adam: My first hermit thrush of the spring.
[0:26:39 – 0:26:40] Adam: They’re back.
[0:26:41 – 0:26:43] Adam: They showed up just in time for round one.
[0:26:43 – 0:26:44] Adam: They’re back.
[0:26:44 – 0:26:50] Adam: They’re heading to the Wahweog River for their big matchup today against the Cedar Waxwing.
[0:26:50 – 0:26:50] Adam: Thrushing.
[0:26:51 – 0:26:52] Adam: I do like that.
[0:26:52 – 0:26:54] Adam: You got any upset picks, though?
[0:26:54 – 0:26:55] Adam: You got any upset picks?
[0:26:55 – 0:26:56] Adam: Maybe we’ll…
[0:26:57 – 0:27:03] Adam: Maybe as we go through it, anybody that we feel is going to do well, we can call it out before we look at the scores.
[0:27:03 – 0:27:04] Erik: I’d love to see some good upsets.
[0:27:04 – 0:27:06] Erik: I feel like it’s a wide open tournament this year.
[0:27:06 – 0:27:07] Adam: Oh, we’re definitely going to see some upsets.
[0:27:07 – 0:27:08] Erik: Wild.
[0:27:08 – 0:27:08] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:27:08 – 0:27:11] Erik: We’ll have to refer back to previous Tumble tournaments.
[0:27:11 – 0:27:27] Erik: to see what the largest, you know, we’re into this point where we need to probably get probably a separate page on the Wikipedia just for all of the results, stats, the biggest upset of all time, the closest game.
[0:27:27 – 0:27:30] Erik: We’ve had some ties, I think.
[0:27:30 – 0:27:32] Erik: Largest blowouts, you know, what have you.
[0:27:33 – 0:27:40] Adam: I’ll go out right now and give you one of my favorites for upset of the week.
[0:27:40 – 0:27:46] Adam: would be the 11-seed American Bittern going up against the 6-seed Merlin.
[0:27:47 – 0:27:52] Adam: That one, I could totally see the Bittern glunking itself.
[0:27:52 – 0:27:53] Adam: It’s not a cha-chunk.
[0:27:53 – 0:27:56] Adam: It’s more like a womp-womp, womp-womp.
[0:27:57 – 0:28:02] Adam: Well, whomping underdog of the week.
[0:28:02 – 0:28:04] Adam: Bittern glug-glunk of the week?
[0:28:04 – 0:28:07] Adam: The glug-glunk of the week over there in North Fowl Lake.
[0:28:07 – 0:28:11] Adam: I feel pretty good about the American Bittern, and I did vote for them.
[0:28:12 – 0:28:20] Adam: So I’ll make that my official upset pick of the week before we even get into the results here.
[0:28:21 – 0:28:26] Adam: But, yeah, I’d say it’s that time.
[0:28:26 – 0:28:28] Adam: Let’s do it.
[0:28:29 – 0:28:32] Adam: I think we got to get into the first round.
[0:28:36 – 0:28:37] Adam: Watch your wigs.
[0:28:37 – 0:28:40] Adam: These birds are starting to swoop.
[0:28:40 – 0:28:41] Adam: They’re swooping.
[0:28:41 – 0:28:43] Adam: Don’t drive around in a convertible, Jim.
[0:28:44 – 0:28:46] Erik: I’ve never seen a seagull do that before.
[0:28:48 – 0:28:50] Erik: Why don’t you just get out of town, lady?
[0:28:50 – 0:28:51] Adam: I’m so scared.
[0:28:51 – 0:28:56] Adam: I think you probably have to take a rest and have a little brandy and a quilt.
[0:28:56 – 0:28:58] Adam: A ton of problems you’re causing.
[0:28:58 – 0:29:02] Erik: Would you like a brandy and a quilt, hon?
[0:29:03 – 0:29:04] Erik: I would, actually.
[0:29:04 – 0:29:05] Erik: That sounds amazing.
[0:29:05 – 0:29:06] Erik: That does sound amazing.
[0:29:06 – 0:29:10] Adam: If anybody ever offers you a brandy and a quilt, you just take it.
[0:29:11 – 0:29:12] Adam: You don’t even have to run.
[0:29:12 – 0:29:13] Adam: You just take it and sit down.
[0:29:14 – 0:29:15] Adam: No.
[0:29:16 – 0:29:16] Adam: Get cozy.
[0:29:17 – 0:29:17] Adam: Lay down.
[0:29:18 – 0:29:19] Erik: All right.
[0:29:19 – 0:29:19] Adam: All right, bud.
[0:29:20 – 0:29:20] Erik: You want to do this?
[0:29:20 – 0:29:21] Erik: I’ll start.
[0:29:21 – 0:29:22] Erik: Should I start?
[0:29:22 – 0:29:22] Erik: What is it?
[0:29:22 – 0:29:23] Adam: Yeah, I’ll mark them up.
[0:29:23 – 0:29:24] Adam: I got the pen out here.
[0:29:24 – 0:29:24] Adam: Hold on.
[0:29:24 – 0:29:28] Adam: Who’s the… We’re starting in the east with the… Where is it?
[0:29:28 – 0:29:29] Adam: Birch Lake.
[0:29:29 – 0:29:29] Adam: That’s right.
[0:29:29 – 0:29:30] Adam: Christine Birch Lake.
[0:29:30 – 0:29:32] Erik: Nobody’s ever going to do anything to mess with Birch Lake.
[0:29:33 – 0:29:35] Erik: It’s protected forever.
[0:29:36 – 0:29:36] Adam: That’s right.
[0:29:36 – 0:29:38] Adam: I’m going to be marking the scores down here.
[0:29:38 – 0:29:39] Adam: Okay.
[0:29:39 – 0:29:42] Adam: I’m going to try and wiggle my chair over here just a smidge.
[0:29:43 – 0:29:45] Erik: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[0:29:45 – 0:29:46] Adam: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[0:29:46 – 0:29:47] Adam: Okay.
[0:29:47 – 0:29:47] Erik: All right.
[0:29:47 – 0:29:48] Erik: Writing as we go.
[0:29:48 – 0:29:49] Erik: Wow.
[0:29:49 – 0:29:51] Erik: This guy’s multitasking here.
[0:29:51 – 0:29:55] Adam: I guess I don’t need to do it this way, but yeah, I don’t need to do this.
[0:29:56 – 0:29:56] Erik: Doesn’t really matter.
[0:29:56 – 0:29:57] Erik: You don’t need to do this.
[0:29:57 – 0:29:58] Erik: You do whatever you want.
[0:29:58 – 0:29:59] Erik: Do whatever you need to do.
[0:30:00 – 0:30:01] Adam: It’s nice to have the notes, though.
[0:30:02 – 0:30:03] Erik: Yeah.
[0:30:03 – 0:30:04] Erik: I try my best.
[0:30:04 – 0:30:06] Adam: Who made this bracket so big?
[0:30:06 – 0:30:07] Erik: They’re always that big.
[0:30:07 – 0:30:08] Erik: I know.
[0:30:08 – 0:30:11] Erik: We’re going to be able to look at it when we’re sitting in the studio.
[0:30:11 – 0:30:13] Erik: Well, we should say we’re not back in the shed yet.
[0:30:13 – 0:30:14] Erik: Not yet.
[0:30:14 – 0:30:17] Erik: Because apparently it will never warm up.
[0:30:17 – 0:30:20] Adam: Also, the Wi-Fi got fried out there.
[0:30:20 – 0:30:21] Erik: Oh, no.
[0:30:21 – 0:30:27] Adam: Yeah, all the internet at the compound got fried by a lightning strike a couple weeks ago.
[0:30:28 – 0:30:37] Adam: And Arrowhead Cooperative came right out the next morning and replaced our modem and got the internet working again at the house.
[0:30:37 – 0:30:43] Adam: But the Wi-Fi router up in the garage…
[0:30:44 – 0:31:11] Adam: just also i think got fried so i think the broadband line took a direct hit yeah just zapped the the line buried in the ground i guess all the internet got fried you know just a new router i think that’s all well so would they replace the one in the house but it still is not i get i’m getting nothing from that machine up in the garage i tried moving it to a couple different uh outlets to make sure it wasn’t just that outlet check the breaker box i’m pretty sure that machines is fried so i’m waiting on a
[0:31:12 – 0:31:15] Adam: But probably by next week we’ll have internet again in the shed is what I’m getting at.
[0:31:15 – 0:31:16] Adam: Okay, good.
[0:31:16 – 0:31:17] Adam: Do you smell what I’m cooking?
[0:31:17 – 0:31:22] Erik: Yeah, maybe by then it’ll be more than 47 degrees, which is what it’s been every day.
[0:31:22 – 0:31:23] Adam: I feel like we could have handled it tonight.
[0:31:23 – 0:31:26] Adam: I almost wore shorts over here, Jim.
[0:31:26 – 0:31:27] Adam: Shorts and blazers.
[0:31:28 – 0:31:49] Erik: blazers and shorts they go together so nice uh yeah all right let’s go let’s go we’re a classic birch lake uh bracket tournament and it’s the one versus 16 and yeah of course like what did you think the eastern what is it the wood eastern wood peewee i don’t care how short your shorts are you’re not gonna defeat the loons they got nine votes though one of them was mine
[0:31:49 – 0:31:50] Adam: Nine votes.
[0:31:50 – 0:31:50] Adam: You gave him one?
[0:31:51 – 0:31:51] Adam: I gave him one.
[0:31:51 – 0:31:52] Erik: Wow, way to go.
[0:31:52 – 0:31:54] Erik: Common Loon’s through, obviously.
[0:31:55 – 0:31:55] Erik: He’s riding.
[0:31:55 – 0:31:56] Erik: How many votes did they get?
[0:31:56 – 0:31:57] Erik: 90.
[0:31:58 – 0:31:58] Adam: 90 to 9?
[0:31:59 – 0:31:59] Erik: 90 to 9.
[0:32:01 – 0:32:02] Erik: A mild smoking.
[0:32:04 – 0:32:08] Erik: We got a much closer matchup result here in the 8-9 matchup.
[0:32:09 – 0:32:13] Erik: The red-eyed Vireo going up against the Canada Goose.
[0:32:16 – 0:32:17] Erik: The Vireos are through.
[0:32:18 – 0:32:19] Erik: 50 to 48.
[0:32:20 – 0:32:21] Adam: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[0:32:22 – 0:32:24] Erik: Yeah, so you can just fly right back home, goose.
[0:32:25 – 0:32:26] Erik: You’re done.
[0:32:26 – 0:32:27] Erik: Get out of here.
[0:32:27 – 0:32:31] Erik: Go hiss at somebody else in a park somewhere not up here.
[0:32:32 – 0:32:34] Erik: So the loons and the red-eyed vireos.
[0:32:34 – 0:32:36] Adam: I don’t even remember who I voted for in that one.
[0:32:39 – 0:32:41] Erik: It wasn’t Anna Paquin, apparently.
[0:32:42 – 0:32:45] Adam: The vireo is always calling for you.
[0:32:46 – 0:32:49] Adam: And were they trying to get goose?
[0:32:49 – 0:32:51] Adam: Or were they doing sandhill cranes in Fly Away Home?
[0:32:53 – 0:32:54] Erik: Fly away home was goose.
[0:32:54 – 0:32:55] Adam: All right.
[0:32:55 – 0:32:56] Adam: That’s what the picture is.
[0:32:57 – 0:32:58] Adam: Did you not?
[0:32:58 – 0:32:59] Adam: I thought they might be.
[0:33:03 – 0:33:07] Adam: He did spend a lot of time finding those great pictures last week.
[0:33:07 – 0:33:09] Adam: I sure appreciate that, Jim.
[0:33:09 – 0:33:11] Erik: I spent a lot of time after we finished recording last week.
[0:33:11 – 0:33:12] Erik: I specifically told you.
[0:33:12 – 0:33:13] Erik: You said you weren’t going to do it.
[0:33:13 – 0:33:15] Erik: I was like, it’s too much work.
[0:33:15 – 0:33:17] Erik: I’m not going to put pictures up for every bird.
[0:33:18 – 0:33:19] Erik: But then I started doing it.
[0:33:19 – 0:33:21] Erik: And then all of a sudden it was done.
[0:33:21 – 0:33:22] Erik: And I’m very happy with it.
[0:33:22 – 0:33:25] Erik: Because some of the pictures are really cool.
[0:33:25 – 0:33:29] Erik: And I tried not to sway my opinion.
[0:33:29 – 0:33:31] Erik: Because you can find like, you look real nasty.
[0:33:31 – 0:33:37] Erik: Real nasty picture of like a bald eagle eating like a dead body or something in the desert.
[0:33:37 – 0:33:38] Erik: And put that up there.
[0:33:39 – 0:33:42] Erik: Or you could put like a majestic swooping one, real American style.
[0:33:42 – 0:33:44] Erik: I try to keep it as basic as possible.
[0:33:44 – 0:33:47] Erik: Something that you might find in an actual guidebook.
[0:33:47 – 0:33:47] Adam: Yeah.
[0:33:47 – 0:33:50] Erik: But I did use the flyaway home.
[0:33:51 – 0:33:51] Erik: He did.
[0:33:53 – 0:33:54] Erik: Kite flyer.
[0:33:54 – 0:33:59] Adam: Well, at least we got to chuckle about that one before they had to fly away back home to Canada.
[0:33:59 – 0:34:00] Erik: Yeah, go home.
[0:34:00 – 0:34:02] Erik: Although you’re welcome back anytime.
[0:34:02 – 0:34:02] Erik: You are.
[0:34:02 – 0:34:03] Adam: We always love the goose.
[0:34:03 – 0:34:05] Adam: We’re a friend of the goose.
[0:34:05 – 0:34:05] Erik: Friend of the goose.
[0:34:06 – 0:34:08] Erik: Moving down to the 5-12 matchup.
[0:34:08 – 0:34:13] Erik: We’ve got our first official upset of the tourney, and it’s no wonder.
[0:34:13 – 0:34:14] Erik: No.
[0:34:15 – 0:34:20] Erik: I think it might have a little bit something to do with this slick, sweet-ass haircut on this boy.
[0:34:20 – 0:34:23] Adam: Oh, that guy, yeah, you really got a good picture of him.
[0:34:23 – 0:34:25] Erik: The ruby-crowned kinglets are through as a 12-seed.
[0:34:25 – 0:34:26] Erik: The voting…
[0:34:26 – 0:34:28] Adam: I had the ruby crowned in the yard this morning for sure.
[0:34:28 – 0:34:32] Adam: I have not heard a veery yet this year, but they usually are a little late getting up here.
[0:34:32 – 0:34:34] Erik: 70 to 28.
[0:34:34 – 0:34:36] Adam: 70 to 28?
[0:34:36 – 0:34:36] Adam: Mm-hmm.
[0:34:37 – 0:34:37] Adam: Yikes.
[0:34:38 – 0:34:38] Adam: Wasn’t even close.
[0:34:38 – 0:34:43] Adam: Yeah, the Vireys usually aren’t getting up here until much later, so they just didn’t show up, obviously.
[0:34:43 – 0:34:44] Erik: Didn’t show up, clearly.
[0:34:45 – 0:34:45] Erik: Not here.
[0:34:45 – 0:34:49] Adam: Yeah, I guess the voters didn’t care that I named my beautiful daughter Virey.
[0:34:50 – 0:34:51] Adam: Nobody cares.
[0:34:51 – 0:34:52] Adam: 28 of you did.
[0:34:52 – 0:34:52] Adam: Thank you.
[0:34:53 – 0:34:56] Adam: But, again, the Ruby Crown King looked very cute.
[0:34:56 – 0:34:57] Erik: Yeah, it’s like…
[0:34:57 – 0:34:58] Adam: Can’t argue.
[0:34:59 – 0:34:59] Adam: It is cute.
[0:34:59 – 0:35:00] Adam: And they are here.
[0:35:00 – 0:35:01] Adam: They’re in the yard right now.
[0:35:01 – 0:35:01] Adam: Yeah.
[0:35:02 – 0:35:05] Adam: So they’re out there dribbling the squeaky and the bounce.
[0:35:06 – 0:35:06] Erik: Yeah.
[0:35:06 – 0:35:14] Erik: And yeah, best cut I think of any bird, not of any, but of out of most in this tournament.
[0:35:15 – 0:35:20] Adam: In the interest of just keeping the bracket tidy, for now, they are the 12 RC kinglet.
[0:35:21 – 0:35:21] Erik: RC kinglets.
[0:35:22 – 0:35:22] Erik: RCKs.
[0:35:23 – 0:35:26] Adam: The RCKs, they love to pass.
[0:35:27 – 0:35:27] Erik: Yeah.
[0:35:27 – 0:35:29] Adam: Love to pass and shoot.
[0:35:29 – 0:35:30] Erik: We have to do this.
[0:35:31 – 0:35:33] Erik: Whatever the hell it is we’re doing.
[0:35:35 – 0:35:36] Erik: 62 more times.
[0:35:37 – 0:35:41] Erik: And then the champion from every one of those tournaments will go into one grand tournament.
[0:35:41 – 0:35:46] Erik: And then one day we can eventually… Well, we couldn’t because I don’t think the DCRs won that tourney.
[0:35:47 – 0:35:50] Erik: But, you know, DCRs versus RCKs.
[0:35:50 – 0:35:54] Erik: Yeah, in 20 years, it’s all just going to be acronyms and deep lore.
[0:35:54 – 0:35:57] Adam: See, a lot of 12 seeds do overcome the 5 seed.
[0:35:57 – 0:36:03] Adam: I don’t think that calling a 5 seed as your lock of the week is no sure thing.
[0:36:03 – 0:36:04] Adam: No, no.
[0:36:04 – 0:36:08] Adam: Those 12 seeds are always strong, and they’re always up for something.
[0:36:08 – 0:36:08] Adam: Yeah.
[0:36:08 – 0:36:09] Adam: RCKs, baby.
[0:36:09 – 0:36:11] Erik: That would be the most regular upset in any tournament.
[0:36:11 – 0:36:13] Adam: Yeah, why that is, I don’t know.
[0:36:13 – 0:36:15] Adam: But the 12s always seem to have the 5s number.
[0:36:16 – 0:36:16] Adam: Yeah.
[0:36:16 – 0:36:19] Adam: But I’m glad to see this is the 12 that got through.
[0:36:20 – 0:36:24] Adam: It makes the chance of another 12 later getting through a little bit less, probably.
[0:36:24 – 0:36:25] Erik: It’s all mental.
[0:36:25 – 0:36:26] Adam: It is.
[0:36:26 – 0:36:28] Adam: Ruby Crown, Kinglet.
[0:36:30 – 0:36:32] Adam: Yeah, that is probably the coolest haircut.
[0:36:32 – 0:36:36] Adam: They got the coolest flow in the tournament.
[0:36:36 – 0:36:37] Erik: It’s not really even a flow.
[0:36:37 – 0:36:40] Erik: It’s like a punk buzz cut.
[0:36:40 – 0:36:42] Erik: Like a punk flat top.
[0:36:43 – 0:36:46] Erik: Like if Johnny Unitas had flaming red hair.
[0:36:47 – 0:36:50] Adam: I did have them listed as the… Now that’s a haircut you can set your clock to.
[0:36:50 – 0:36:50] Adam: You can set that.
[0:36:51 – 0:36:55] Adam: I had these guys listed as the Kinglet Conference Trampions.
[0:36:55 – 0:36:56] Adam: Conference Trampions.
[0:36:57 – 0:36:57] Adam: Campions.
[0:36:58 – 0:36:59] Adam: Campions.
[0:37:00 – 0:37:01] Adam: The Kinglets are through.
[0:37:01 – 0:37:02] Adam: Kinglets are through.
[0:37:02 – 0:37:06] Erik: They’re going to be mashing up against the last matchup.
[0:37:06 – 0:37:12] Erik: I’m running down here in the Birch Lake quadrant, sextant.
[0:37:12 – 0:37:13] Erik: Yeah, pristine.
[0:37:14 – 0:37:22] Erik: Of course, who could have imagined the Great Blue Herons not dominating the Dark Eyed Junkos?
[0:37:22 – 0:37:25] Erik: And they have 64-33, a round two matchup.
[0:37:29 – 0:37:29] Erik: R.C.
[0:37:29 – 0:37:31] Erik: Kinglett versus Great Blue Heron.
[0:37:31 – 0:37:32] Adam: G.B.
[0:37:32 – 0:37:33] Adam: Herons versus R.C.
[0:37:33 – 0:37:33] Adam: Kinglett.
[0:37:34 – 0:37:35] Adam: What was the score on this one there, sir?
[0:37:36 – 0:37:36] Erik: The 413 was 64-33.
[0:37:40 – 0:37:41] Adam: Not really that close.
[0:37:41 – 0:37:41] Adam: All right.
[0:37:41 – 0:37:45] Adam: The GB Herons are through going up against the RC Kinglets.
[0:37:47 – 0:37:49] Adam: The Great Sad Heron Point Guard.
[0:37:49 – 0:37:54] Adam: It’s got that sad, resting sad face is what they’re calling it.
[0:37:54 – 0:37:56] Adam: And there was a couple memes shared.
[0:37:57 – 0:38:00] Adam: I think at least one quality Great Blue Heron meme shared.
[0:38:02 – 0:38:02] Adam: So, yeah.
[0:38:02 – 0:38:05] Adam: It was a sad eye versus a dark eye matchup.
[0:38:06 – 0:38:08] Erik: Let me just finish up the top and then…
[0:38:09 – 0:38:11] Adam: You’re going to finish this whole sector up and then pass it over?
[0:38:11 – 0:38:13] Erik: Yeah, and then you can do the second half.
[0:38:13 – 0:38:14] Adam: Okay, that’s fine.
[0:38:14 – 0:38:20] Erik: Just because then each time I don’t have to do the 1-16, you know, if we just go opposite every other one.
[0:38:20 – 0:38:21] Adam: Ah, right, yeah.
[0:38:21 – 0:38:22] Adam: Okay, that makes sense.
[0:38:22 – 0:38:22] Adam: So we’re moving down.
[0:38:22 – 0:38:25] Adam: You’re handling the entire northeast bracket.
[0:38:25 – 0:38:26] Adam: Yes.
[0:38:26 – 0:38:27] Adam: Or northwest bracket, I’m sorry.
[0:38:27 – 0:38:28] Erik: Moving down to American Point.
[0:38:29 – 0:38:30] Adam: That was the moody matchup there.
[0:38:30 – 0:38:32] Adam: Dark eyes versus sad eyes.
[0:38:34 – 0:38:35] Adam: The moodiest of the matchups.
[0:38:36 – 0:38:44] Erik: The next matchup, we got the 6-11, the rednecked Grebes going up against the Alder Flycatchers.
[0:38:44 – 0:38:50] Adam: Yeah, the Flycatcher, they were the conference champions of the Flycatcher Conference.
[0:38:50 – 0:38:52] Erik: Yeah, not close.
[0:38:53 – 0:38:55] Erik: Grebes moving on, 70-26.
[0:38:58 – 0:38:59] Erik: Nobody’s catching flies out there.
[0:39:00 – 0:39:02] Adam: Too early for the flies to be out.
[0:39:02 – 0:39:02] Adam: It’s true.
[0:39:03 – 0:39:04] Adam: Just a little too early.
[0:39:04 – 0:39:05] Adam: We are in American Point.
[0:39:06 – 0:39:07] Adam: It’s a beautiful flyway.
[0:39:08 – 0:39:14] Adam: And the red-necked grebes are out there wearing their bandanas and their… Neckerchief.
[0:39:15 – 0:39:17] Adam: And their daisy dukes.
[0:39:18 – 0:39:24] Adam: They’re out there in their lawn chairs with their wrist rockets out on American Point just babbling.
[0:39:24 – 0:39:25] Adam: Banging them.
[0:39:25 – 0:39:26] Erik: Shooting down drones.
[0:39:26 – 0:39:27] Erik: Pew, pew, pew.
[0:39:27 – 0:39:36] Adam: Yeah, the Redneck Grebes, they did score 70 points in this matchup, but they also shot down three drones confirmed killed.
[0:39:36 – 0:39:36] Erik: Confirmed.
[0:39:37 – 0:39:38] Adam: With their wrist rockets.
[0:39:39 – 0:39:40] Adam: So, good job.
[0:39:40 – 0:39:42] Adam: I’m all on Redneck Grebes.
[0:39:42 – 0:39:43] Adam: It’s one of my favorite little.
[0:39:43 – 0:39:44] Adam: I mean, look at that maniac.
[0:39:44 – 0:39:48] Adam: Yeah, that one is a nice-looking neck.
[0:39:48 – 0:39:54] Adam: When you see them out there swimming around, though, they’re a funny, cute little bird with their crazy little neck.
[0:39:54 – 0:39:55] Adam: They’re tiny, too.
[0:39:57 – 0:40:03] Adam: You see that picture, and then you see one in the wild, and it’s like a chickadee with a real long neck.
[0:40:03 – 0:40:04] Adam: They’re really small.
[0:40:04 – 0:40:05] Adam: They’re really tiny.
[0:40:05 – 0:40:06] Adam: All the grebes are quite small.
[0:40:08 – 0:40:09] Adam: Teen seawater bird.
[0:40:09 – 0:40:10] Erik: All right, we’re moving on.
[0:40:10 – 0:40:11] Adam: They’re wet, but they’re tiny.
[0:40:13 – 0:40:13] Adam: Stop.
[0:40:13 – 0:40:14] Adam: Just stop.
[0:40:14 – 0:40:15] Erik: Tiny and wet.
[0:40:17 – 0:40:19] Erik: This bracket is soaked.
[0:40:21 – 0:40:30] Erik: The 314 matchup, I was pretty hopeful that we would get a deep run from this guy because of our familiarity with the cryptic nature.
[0:40:30 – 0:40:35] Erik: We’re more familiar with this cryptic patterned bird than any.
[0:40:35 – 0:40:38] Adam: Few paddlers have encountered the Eurasian Nightjar.
[0:40:38 – 0:40:39] Erik: Yeah, going up against the Northern Parula.
[0:40:40 – 0:40:40] Erik: Right.
[0:40:40 – 0:40:44] Erik: But unfortunately…
[0:40:45 – 0:40:49] Erik: For the Eurasian night charts, they’re going home to wherever the hell it is they’re from.
[0:40:49 – 0:40:51] Erik: Wherever the hell they came from.
[0:40:51 – 0:40:52] Erik: Eurasia?
[0:40:53 – 0:40:53] Erik: So like Turkey?
[0:40:55 – 0:40:58] Erik: The Perulas are through 63 to 34.
[0:40:58 – 0:41:00] Erik: Look at that cute little bugger, though.
[0:41:00 – 0:41:04] Adam: I mean, how do you… No, I was going to say, you really picked a cute picture of the Perula.
[0:41:04 – 0:41:05] Adam: What was the score?
[0:41:06 – 0:41:07] Erik: 63 to 34.
[0:41:08 – 0:41:11] Erik: You didn’t like this little fork-tongued bee-eyed?
[0:41:11 – 0:41:12] Erik: Oh, my God.
[0:41:12 – 0:41:13] Erik: That’s the nightjar.
[0:41:15 – 0:41:19] Adam: You’re going to see that out your window at 3.33 a.m.
[0:41:19 – 0:41:30] Erik: When I was doing the research, not the research, but the work to get the pictures of the birds, I did, when I got to the whippoorwill, whippoorwill,
[0:41:30 – 0:41:33] Erik: It was like, this is the same exact picture as the nightjar.
[0:41:34 – 0:41:46] Erik: And then I ended up going down, like, a 30-minute, like, hole of, like, oh, they’re in, like, the same family, and they’re, like, very similar to, like, the same, like, they look very similar.
[0:41:46 – 0:41:47] Erik: Yeah.
[0:41:47 – 0:41:49] Adam: The Whippoorwill is a nightjar.
[0:41:49 – 0:41:50] Erik: Yeah, I spent an entire 30 minutes.
[0:41:51 – 0:41:52] Erik: I think I sent you the link.
[0:41:52 – 0:41:55] Erik: How to tell the difference between a nightjar and a whippoorwill.
[0:41:55 – 0:41:57] Adam: You’re never getting that 30 minutes back.
[0:41:57 – 0:41:58] Adam: I don’t want it back.
[0:41:58 – 0:41:59] Adam: Now you’ve got the knowledge.
[0:41:59 – 0:42:00] Erik: Yeah, I’m fully earned.
[0:42:00 – 0:42:01] Erik: You earned it.
[0:42:01 – 0:42:01] Erik: Yeah.
[0:42:02 – 0:42:04] Adam: I had it wrong, actually, earlier.
[0:42:04 – 0:42:08] Adam: I said the Blackburnian Warbler won the Warbler Conference.
[0:42:08 – 0:42:09] Adam: That is not true.
[0:42:09 – 0:42:12] Adam: The Perula did win, hence their three seed.
[0:42:13 – 0:42:14] Adam: And one of the all-time…
[0:42:15 – 0:42:22] Adam: One of my all-time faves, they are always up in the yard, and you get them all over the boundary waters, and they are a beautiful little blue bird.
[0:42:24 – 0:42:28] Adam: So that is your Warbler Conference champion through to the second round.
[0:42:29 – 0:42:29] Adam: I was a little worried.
[0:42:30 – 0:42:34] Adam: The cryptic plumage of the nightjar, though, doesn’t work on a full moon.
[0:42:34 – 0:42:39] Adam: It’s a full moon advantage per rula, and that showed in the final score there.
[0:42:40 – 0:42:56] Erik: i’m glad we’re not just getting all like big bird action yeah i like i appreciate the small bird yeah we’re getting we got some nice big versus little matchups we’re getting some cute little guys through the grebes versus the perulas those two small bird yes at american point flyway
[0:42:57 – 0:43:01] Erik: One water-based, one just straight-up cute-based.
[0:43:01 – 0:43:04] Adam: One of the wood, one of the water.
[0:43:04 – 0:43:06] Erik: One from the forest and one from the field.
[0:43:07 – 0:43:10] Adam: I’m glad we’re on the same page with the honey jokes.
[0:43:10 – 0:43:10] Adam: Yes.
[0:43:11 – 0:43:12] Adam: Still got it.
[0:43:12 – 0:43:16] Erik: Saddest German B&B morning of all time.
[0:43:17 – 0:43:18] Erik: Moving on to the 710.
[0:43:18 – 0:43:19] Adam: Yeah, woodpeckers.
[0:43:19 – 0:43:20] Adam: Pileated woodpecker.
[0:43:21 – 0:43:22] Erik: Pileated woodpecker?
[0:43:24 – 0:43:25] Adam: This one’s going to be tough.
[0:43:25 – 0:43:27] Adam: I got to say, I bet this is real close.
[0:43:27 – 0:43:28] Erik: It’s not.
[0:43:28 – 0:43:28] Adam: It’s not, though.
[0:43:28 – 0:43:29] Erik: Not.
[0:43:29 – 0:43:31] Erik: The purple finches barely showed up.
[0:43:32 – 0:43:32] Erik: Yeah.
[0:43:32 – 0:43:34] Erik: Pileated through 83 to 14.
[0:43:35 – 0:43:35] Erik: Wow.
[0:43:36 – 0:43:38] Erik: She lacking.
[0:43:38 – 0:43:38] Adam: 83, 14.
[0:43:39 – 0:43:40] Adam: The pileated are through.
[0:43:40 – 0:43:40] Adam: Way to go.
[0:43:40 – 0:43:43] Erik: I mean, who doesn’t love a pileated woodpecker?
[0:43:43 – 0:43:43] Adam: We all love it.
[0:43:43 – 0:43:45] Adam: It’s an easy one to identify.
[0:43:45 – 0:43:48] Adam: We’re all burgers when you see the pileated woodpecker.
[0:43:48 – 0:43:49] Adam: Anybody can see that one and call it.
[0:43:50 – 0:44:14] Erik: yeah uh yeah that’s i could see them making a deep run for sure yeah for sure uh let’s see i mean it’s gonna be hard to see american point and the bald eagle the yeah bald eagle basically playing at home yeah that’s a home one uh bald eagles of course through they’re flying the drones they got the little remote controls and their screens
[0:44:16 – 0:44:18] Adam: That’s the picture of the cormorant you picked.
[0:44:19 – 0:44:19] Adam: Jesus.
[0:44:19 – 0:44:22] Erik: Cormorant looks like it’s having a rough day in this picture.
[0:44:22 – 0:44:24] Adam: It’s been having a rough decade.
[0:44:24 – 0:44:26] Erik: That’s what it looks like when I wake up most mornings.
[0:44:27 – 0:44:33] Adam: That’s what I felt like this morning after staying up until 2 a.m. watching Alfred Hinkock’s The Birbs.
[0:44:33 – 0:44:37] Adam: You look like a cormorant with its eyes pecked out.
[0:44:37 – 0:44:39] Adam: Please peck my eyes out.
[0:44:39 – 0:44:39] Adam: Please.
[0:44:39 – 0:44:40] Adam: Oh, my God.
[0:44:40 – 0:44:40] Adam: Peck them out.
[0:44:40 – 0:44:41] Erik: Bald eagles are through.
[0:44:41 – 0:44:42] Erik: 75 to 23.
[0:44:42 – 0:44:42] Erik: All right.
[0:44:45 – 0:44:45] Adam: They’re through.
[0:44:45 – 0:44:49] Erik: The Soaring Eagles going up against the Pileated Woodpeckers.
[0:44:49 – 0:44:50] Erik: That should be a good one.
[0:44:51 – 0:44:52] Erik: I could see that going either way, honestly.
[0:44:52 – 0:44:57] Adam: So in all the Northwest bracket, we only had one upset.
[0:44:57 – 0:44:58] Adam: Yeah, just the one.
[0:44:58 – 0:45:03] Adam: That was the RC Kinglets getting through against my dear, deary Vireys.
[0:45:03 – 0:45:03] Adam: Yeah.
[0:45:04 – 0:45:07] Adam: Anyways, just go listen to the call of the Virey.
[0:45:08 – 0:45:09] Adam: Before we let them go…
[0:45:09 – 0:45:11] Erik: If I could have attached the call to each one…
[0:45:11 – 0:45:13] Adam: The call of the Viri is magical.
[0:45:13 – 0:45:15] Erik: You must listen to the call before voting.
[0:45:15 – 0:45:15] Erik: Yeah.
[0:45:15 – 0:45:16] Erik: Instead of captcha, you have to listen to the call.
[0:45:16 – 0:45:19] Adam: If you’re going to base it on calls, it would just be…
[0:45:19 – 0:45:20] Adam: The final four would be all thrushes.
[0:45:21 – 0:45:21] Adam: Okay?
[0:45:22 – 0:45:22] Adam: So…
[0:45:23 – 0:45:23] Erik: Okay.
[0:45:23 – 0:45:24] Erik: Okay?
[0:45:24 – 0:45:27] Adam: Maybe one sparrow in there, if you’re lucky.
[0:45:27 – 0:45:31] Adam: But the thrush of the Viri’s call is just magical.
[0:45:31 – 0:45:40] Adam: haunting and beautiful and once you hear it you will love the Viri that’s the thing with the Viri though it’s
[0:45:40 – 0:45:43] Adam: Got a beautiful call, but it’s very hard to see those things.
[0:45:44 – 0:45:44] Erik: Yeah.
[0:45:44 – 0:45:45] Erik: It’s just a little brown bird.
[0:45:45 – 0:45:52] Adam: They’re a little brown bird with some speckles on their chest, and they are hopping around on the forest floor mostly.
[0:45:52 – 0:45:55] Adam: So, yeah, that one’s a difficult one to spot.
[0:45:55 – 0:46:06] Adam: So I don’t fault the voters for going against them with the Ruby Crown Kinglet, but I would implore you all, if you’re listening this far in,
[0:46:06 – 0:46:09] Adam: Just go find yourself the call of the veery.
[0:46:09 – 0:46:12] Erik: If you’re listening this far in, people were tuning out.
[0:46:12 – 0:46:13] Erik: I gave up.
[0:46:13 – 0:46:14] Erik: All right, I got to my matchup.
[0:46:14 – 0:46:15] Erik: I’m good.
[0:46:15 – 0:46:17] Adam: After the Canada goose went out, I quit.
[0:46:17 – 0:46:18] Adam: I’m done.
[0:46:19 – 0:46:26] Adam: There was somebody that literally was threatening to quit listening to Tumble Home because of a perceived…
[0:46:27 – 0:46:29] Adam: I think it was because the spruce cross didn’t get in.
[0:46:29 – 0:46:30] Erik: What?
[0:46:30 – 0:46:31] Erik: Somebody was like, I am done with this show.
[0:46:32 – 0:46:38] Adam: I’ve listened to every episode 10 times through and I’m never listening again because I mean, it was a joke, right?
[0:46:38 – 0:46:40] Adam: Never really mean it.
[0:46:41 – 0:46:44] Adam: Uh, I love the, I love the passion that tournaments bring out.
[0:46:44 – 0:46:45] Adam: It’s what it’s all about.
[0:46:45 – 0:46:45] Adam: It is.
[0:46:45 – 0:46:46] Adam: It really is.
[0:46:46 – 0:46:55] Adam: And I have certainly screamed before during a tumble home sports network tournament, like expletives, uh, after seeing a result I didn’t care for.
[0:46:55 – 0:46:55] Adam: So, um,
[0:46:56 – 0:46:57] Erik: The Learnament?
[0:46:57 – 0:46:58] Adam: The Learnament, I had a couple.
[0:46:58 – 0:47:01] Adam: I think every year I get one where I’m like, what in the hell?
[0:47:02 – 0:47:06] Erik: Was it when the Stick of Dynamite beat the F set?
[0:47:06 – 0:47:12] Adam: I wasn’t thinking the Viri was going to go to the Elite Eight or anything, but I was hopeful they’d maybe get one, but…
[0:47:13 – 0:47:32] Adam: i’m just going to use this opportunity to please uh i’m going to pound the table for the veery just one more time here it’s a really cool bird underappreciated and also um you know the more you know about them the more you’re going to like them trust me sure well they still did lose to the uh the ruby crew-cutted kinglets
[0:47:33 – 0:47:34] Adam: Yeah, the only upset to get through.
[0:47:34 – 0:47:36] Adam: The only one I cared about.
[0:47:37 – 0:47:49] Erik: Well, I mean, I feel like if there’s any reason to still be involved in voting on this tournament, it’s just to try and invoke the most insane response from you, for sure.
[0:47:49 – 0:47:50] Erik: And maybe you at times.
[0:47:50 – 0:47:58] Adam: I’m glad, though, that the Bald Eagles did patrol our skies for freedom and defeated those dirty commies, the Comrants.
[0:47:58 – 0:48:02] Erik: Yeah, those are some socialist eyes on that nasty bird.
[0:48:03 – 0:48:07] Erik: All right, I think it’s you moving down to Remix.
[0:48:07 – 0:48:08] Adam: We’re going to Remix.
[0:48:08 – 0:48:10] Adam: They always host.
[0:48:10 – 0:48:11] Adam: They know how to host.
[0:48:12 – 0:48:14] Erik: The ice is still tight to shore.
[0:48:14 – 0:48:18] Adam: It’s packed in there on the beaches of Remix.
[0:48:18 – 0:48:22] Adam: I like how you can see the timer going just above the brackets in here.
[0:48:22 – 0:48:23] Adam: It’s really intense, too.
[0:48:24 – 0:48:27] Adam: They got it down to the thousandth of a second.
[0:48:27 – 0:48:28] Erik: That’s just GarageBand.
[0:48:29 – 0:48:30] Adam: That is GarageBand.
[0:48:31 – 0:48:31] Erik: But it would be…
[0:48:31 – 0:48:34] Erik: I mean, you can scroll up, and you will…
[0:48:34 – 0:48:35] Erik: I think it’s doing the same thing.
[0:48:36 – 0:48:37] Adam: Yeah, I’m not going to do that.
[0:48:37 – 0:48:38] Adam: We’re not going to scroll up.
[0:48:38 – 0:48:40] Adam: We’re going to scroll down.
[0:48:40 – 0:48:44] Adam: All right, we’re moving into Remix.
[0:48:44 – 0:48:46] Adam: The 1 versus 16 seed Swainson’s Thrush.
[0:48:48 – 0:49:15] Adam: got defeated by the whippoorwill oh no kidding me this is a one the first this is the first time a one seed’s ever gone down to the uh the most beautiful song in the tournament versus the most annoying bird song in the entire tournament is this a meme i think we just got memed i don’t know why people would vote for the whippoorwill have you never been kept up all night by the whippoorwill i’m gonna get have you never experienced the majesty that is the swainson’s thrush call
[0:49:15 – 0:49:23] Erik: I’m going to get the fire going here so we can crumple up this birdament board that you’ve beautifully created here to burn it ceremoniously.
[0:49:23 – 0:49:23] Erik: I cannot believe this.
[0:49:23 – 0:49:25] Erik: This is an egregious error from voting.
[0:49:25 – 0:49:28] Adam: Yeah, anyways, whoever voted for the Whippoorwill, you’re all wrong.
[0:49:29 – 0:49:29] Adam: What?
[0:49:30 – 0:49:31] Adam: Was it close?
[0:49:32 – 0:49:34] Adam: It was 54 to 43, so it was pretty close.
[0:49:35 – 0:49:35] Adam: Yikes.
[0:49:35 – 0:49:36] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:49:36 – 0:49:37] Adam: Whatever.
[0:49:37 – 0:49:39] Adam: Eventually, we’re going to get a 16 seed through.
[0:49:39 – 0:49:39] Adam: Whip.
[0:49:41 – 0:49:42] Adam: Who will?
[0:49:43 – 0:49:50] Erik: Well, I think this is the first tournament that we’ve had where there were actual, like, real, for the most part, 16 seeds.
[0:49:50 – 0:49:52] Adam: Yeah, I feel dirty, honestly.
[0:49:52 – 0:49:54] Adam: Yeah, I mean, the Whip are well.
[0:49:54 – 0:49:56] Adam: So that’s the nightjar that got through.
[0:49:56 – 0:49:58] Erik: Yeah, we didn’t do the Eurasian Night Charge.
[0:49:58 – 0:50:05] Adam: Literally, I guarantee you anybody who voted for the Whippoorwill has never actually been in the Boundary Waters or heard a Swainson’s Thrush call.
[0:50:05 – 0:50:06] Adam: You’ve got to be kidding me.
[0:50:06 – 0:50:11] Erik: I think that’s the one big downside to a tournament like this is there is no calls involved.
[0:50:12 – 0:50:13] Erik: You have to do your own due diligence.
[0:50:14 – 0:50:22] Erik: But I feel like we made it pretty clear last week that the committee put that bird as a number one seed because of its…
[0:50:22 – 0:50:25] Adam: So that’s two thrushes that got screwed tonight.
[0:50:25 – 0:50:29] Adam: These voters are absolutely chopped.
[0:50:29 – 0:50:34] Adam: These voters are chopped right now, Jim, and don’t appreciate the thrush hate.
[0:50:34 – 0:50:38] Adam: I guess you don’t hate the thrush so much as you hate yourselves, apparently.
[0:50:38 – 0:50:43] Adam: Why don’t you just cut your own ears off and dig your own eardrums right out of your heads?
[0:50:44 – 0:50:45] Adam: What is wrong with you people?
[0:50:46 – 0:50:46] Adam: Moving on.
[0:50:47 – 0:50:49] Erik: Moving on to the next matchup.
[0:50:49 – 0:50:51] Erik: I’m glad you were the one that had to deal with that.
[0:50:51 – 0:50:52] Adam: Now we’re getting real.
[0:50:53 – 0:50:58] Adam: Coming up next is the 8 seed brown creeper versus the 9 seed wood duck.
[0:50:58 – 0:50:59] Erik: Wood ducks are through for sure.
[0:50:59 – 0:51:01] Adam: Wood ducks are probably through by a lot it looks like here.
[0:51:02 – 0:51:24] Adam: uh i mean honestly the brown creeper is a beauty and i got one in the yard right now they are a cool little bird not surprised here at all though the wood duck got an 85 to 13 and a real beat down yeah we’re gonna get a bunch of dumb bird like dumb duck lovers out there i don’t have any problem with the ducks i don’t have any problem with the ducks either but i’m just bitter i’m gonna be bitter for another 20 minutes here
[0:51:25 – 0:51:34] Adam: Yeah, I mean, honestly, I was hoping for a Swainsons versus Brown Creeper matchup here in Remix, and I’m getting a Whippoorwill versus Wood Duck.
[0:51:34 – 0:51:36] Adam: I’m not really excited for that one.
[0:51:36 – 0:51:38] Adam: It looks like somebody already voted.
[0:51:38 – 0:51:39] Erik: Yeah, so it’s open.
[0:51:39 – 0:51:41] Erik: You can vote right now if you want.
[0:51:41 – 0:51:43] Adam: Apparently voting is now open.
[0:51:43 – 0:51:43] Adam: All right.
[0:51:44 – 0:51:49] Adam: We’re going from the 9-seed Wood Duck down to the 5-seed Wood Cock.
[0:51:50 – 0:51:55] Adam: The Timberdoodle, the lock of the week for I think half the crowd out there.
[0:51:56 – 0:51:57] Erik: I hope the Woodcocks lose.
[0:51:57 – 0:51:58] Erik: No, they’re not going to lose.
[0:51:58 – 0:51:59] Erik: Go Turkey Vultures.
[0:51:59 – 0:52:01] Adam: Against the Turkey Vultures, there’s no way.
[0:52:01 – 0:52:04] Adam: Ball sack headed pieces of…
[0:52:04 – 0:52:05] Adam: It’s a destruction here.
[0:52:05 – 0:52:06] Adam: Is it zero?
[0:52:06 – 0:52:09] Adam: No, 77 to 20 for the Woodcocks.
[0:52:09 – 0:52:11] Erik: A lot of the 20 people were like, yes.
[0:52:11 – 0:52:12] Erik: Give me the scrotum.
[0:52:12 – 0:52:14] Adam: I love the scrotum face.
[0:52:15 – 0:52:16] Adam: Five Woodcock is through.
[0:52:18 – 0:52:20] Erik: Is it just like an evolution?
[0:52:21 – 0:52:25] Erik: Like a result of like I’m constantly picking at dead carcasses.
[0:52:25 – 0:52:29] Erik: I don’t want to get any more extra like junk in my feathers.
[0:52:29 – 0:52:32] Erik: So I’m just like just a skin.
[0:52:32 – 0:52:33] Erik: The skin head of birds.
[0:52:35 – 0:52:36] Adam: The turkey vulture.
[0:52:37 – 0:52:41] Adam: Oh, man, the Timberdoodles are through the most memed matchup of the week.
[0:52:42 – 0:52:42] Adam: Yes.
[0:52:43 – 0:52:45] Adam: Yeah, the head of the Gobbler Sacks is out of here.
[0:52:46 – 0:52:48] Adam: Jesus Christ, Jim.
[0:52:50 – 0:52:56] Adam: I think last week we were claiming that we would lay our entire mortgage down for the Great Horned Owl.
[0:52:57 – 0:53:00] Adam: as a potential lock of the week last week.
[0:53:00 – 0:53:03] Adam: That’s a four seed versus a 13 seed.
[0:53:03 – 0:53:04] Adam: So not really a reach here.
[0:53:05 – 0:53:18] Adam: I think you and I are probably the only people either in this studio or anybody listening to this show who has actually been to Sora Lake, which is a big reason why the Soras got in as a 13 seed.
[0:53:19 – 0:53:24] Adam: But I would be pretty surprised if the Soras overcame the big great horned owl here in the next matchup.
[0:53:24 – 0:53:26] Adam: Let’s scroll it up and find out.
[0:53:26 – 0:53:28] Adam: And, oh, my God.
[0:53:29 – 0:53:32] Adam: 86 to 12, the Great Horned Owl swooped them, Jim.
[0:53:32 – 0:53:33] Erik: They’re out.
[0:53:33 – 0:53:35] Erik: A silent assassin.
[0:53:35 – 0:53:36] Adam: 86 them.
[0:53:36 – 0:53:37] Adam: They 86 them good.
[0:53:37 – 0:53:38] Adam: 86 to 12.
[0:53:38 – 0:53:39] Adam: 86 them good.
[0:53:39 – 0:53:43] Adam: We’re going to give them the check mark there on the G.H.
[0:53:44 – 0:53:44] Adam: Owl.
[0:53:45 – 0:53:46] Adam: The G.H.
[0:53:46 – 0:53:49] Adam: Owl is through here in Remax.
[0:53:49 – 0:53:50] Adam: Oh, my gosh.
[0:53:51 – 0:53:51] Adam: Yeah.
[0:53:52 – 0:53:55] Adam: Put another shrimp on the barbie on Remix.
[0:53:55 – 0:53:59] Adam: I’m having a drink of Grandpa’s Bill’s Pills over here.
[0:53:59 – 0:53:59] Erik: Remix!
[0:54:01 – 0:54:02] Adam: Remix!
[0:54:03 – 0:54:04] Adam: We forgot Remix!
[0:54:05 – 0:54:11] Erik: If I ever have kids, and it will be a complete accident if it ever happens, I’m going to name them Remix.
[0:54:12 – 0:54:12] Erik: Or Remick.
[0:54:12 – 0:54:13] Erik: Just Remick?
[0:54:13 – 0:54:14] Adam: Remix.
[0:54:14 – 0:54:15] Erik: Damn, that’s actually not a bad name.
[0:54:16 – 0:54:16] Adam: It is a great name.
[0:54:18 – 0:54:21] Adam: Just don’t tell the voters that, otherwise they’ll vote against it.
[0:54:21 – 0:54:24] Erik: Yeah, otherwise they’ll do whatever they can to disappoint us.
[0:54:24 – 0:54:27] Adam: Jim loves this name and location.
[0:54:27 – 0:54:30] Adam: We’re going to definitely vote against it because we hate him.
[0:54:31 – 0:54:33] Adam: We hate these hosts.
[0:54:34 – 0:54:35] Adam: Whatever they say, we’re voting against it.
[0:54:35 – 0:54:38] Adam: We’re just going to be contrarians, I guess.
[0:54:39 – 0:54:42] Adam: The Sora deserved to lose, though, and we did call it last week.
[0:54:42 – 0:54:45] Adam: The Great Horned Owl was almost too easy to be a lock of the week.
[0:54:45 – 0:54:49] Erik: Yeah, I’m not against that at all.
[0:54:49 – 0:54:50] Adam: All right, here we go.
[0:54:50 – 0:54:51] Adam: This is the real thriller.
[0:54:51 – 0:54:54] Adam: I got my upset pick of the week coming up here.
[0:54:54 – 0:54:55] Erik: It’s your lock of the week?
[0:54:56 – 0:54:57] Erik: This isn’t your lock of the week.
[0:54:57 – 0:55:00] Adam: No, this is the six Merlin versus the 11-seat American bit turn.
[0:55:01 – 0:55:02] Adam: This is your upset of the week.
[0:55:02 – 0:55:07] Adam: The bit turn has long inhabited the Cadence River here in the neighborhood.
[0:55:07 – 0:55:10] Erik: Well, it’s dear and dear to your heart, so I’m sure it will be voted against.
[0:55:10 – 0:55:13] Adam: Yeah, I like it a lot, but I think a lot of people like the Bittern.
[0:55:13 – 0:55:14] Adam: It’s a weird one.
[0:55:15 – 0:55:18] Adam: It’s a long and lanky bird, but it’s also hard to see.
[0:55:18 – 0:55:19] Erik: Big-throated.
[0:55:19 – 0:55:23] Adam: But that was my upset pick of the week, and let’s see what happens here.
[0:55:24 – 0:55:25] Adam: No, the Merlin’s through.
[0:55:25 – 0:55:26] Adam: It was the bird app.
[0:55:27 – 0:55:28] Adam: Nobody’s voting against the bird app.
[0:55:28 – 0:55:31] Erik: The Merlin is a pretty cool bird, too.
[0:55:31 – 0:55:33] Adam: I can’t be mad about this at all.
[0:55:33 – 0:55:40] Adam: Again, I’m just going to go out on a limb and say most people voting in this tournament have never heard or seen an American Bittern.
[0:55:40 – 0:55:41] Erik: Yeah, maybe I shouldn’t have attached the pictures.
[0:55:42 – 0:55:46] Adam: The American Bittern is like a big veery, really.
[0:55:46 – 0:55:49] Adam: The Merlin got 70 versus 28 votes here.
[0:55:50 – 0:55:50] Erik: Wow.
[0:55:50 – 0:55:53] Adam: And that one wasn’t really close.
[0:55:53 – 0:55:54] Adam: 28 for the Bittern.
[0:55:54 – 0:55:55] Adam: Good night, sweet prince.
[0:55:56 – 0:55:59] Adam: Merlin is through, and they earned it.
[0:55:59 – 0:56:00] Adam: They earned it, honestly.
[0:56:05 – 0:56:07] Adam: It’s a toad from the pit of hell.
[0:56:07 – 0:56:08] Adam: Yeah, okay.
[0:56:08 – 0:56:10] Adam: So they’re not going to get anywhere.
[0:56:10 – 0:56:11] Adam: The Merlin is through.
[0:56:12 – 0:56:14] Adam: And we got a couple more matchups here.
[0:56:14 – 0:56:17] Adam: Oh, by the way, we’re now in North Fowl Lake.
[0:56:17 – 0:56:18] Adam: Of course, yes.
[0:56:18 – 0:56:25] Adam: South Fowl Lake determined that they didn’t want anything to do with the birdament, and that’s just because they aren’t ABA approved.
[0:56:25 – 0:56:28] Erik: Yeah, there’s a little bit of open water on North Fowl, too.
[0:56:28 – 0:56:29] Erik: There’s a lot of open water.
[0:56:30 – 0:56:36] Adam: And the goose rock was mad that the Canadian goose got bounced right away, so they also got out of here.
[0:56:37 – 0:56:43] Adam: They took their goose rock and they went back to Canada, and they said, you know, deal with it yourself, North Fowl Lake.
[0:56:43 – 0:56:44] Adam: North Fowl Lake can handle it.
[0:56:45 – 0:56:46] Adam: We’re okay here.
[0:56:46 – 0:56:50] Adam: Next up, we have probably the sickest matchup of the week.
[0:56:51 – 0:56:52] Adam: Sickest?
[0:56:52 – 0:56:52] Adam: Yeah.
[0:56:52 – 0:56:55] Adam: This is like the truth social MAGA matchup of the week.
[0:56:55 – 0:56:59] Adam: It’s the Trumpeter Swan versus the Robin.
[0:57:01 – 0:57:01] Adam: Wow.
[0:57:01 – 0:57:08] Adam: This is the MAGA matchup of the week at an overflow in Stauber at North Fowl Lake.
[0:57:08 – 0:57:10] Adam: The 13 seed versus the 14 seed Robin.
[0:57:10 – 0:57:11] Adam: Let’s see.
[0:57:12 – 0:57:15] Adam: And the trumpeter swan is through easily here, 78 to 20.
[0:57:15 – 0:57:17] Erik: Big wings in the house.
[0:57:18 – 0:57:18] Adam: 78 to 20.
[0:57:18 – 0:57:20] Adam: The robins are going home as they should.
[0:57:22 – 0:57:26] Erik: We’re still going straight chalk down here.
[0:57:26 – 0:57:31] Adam: Yeah, there’s been, well, other than a 16 seed, we’ve had two, yeah, Jesus.
[0:57:31 – 0:57:37] Adam: We’ve had two upsets so far, and it’s both against thrushes.
[0:57:38 – 0:57:39] Erik: Anti-thrush community.
[0:57:39 – 0:57:41] Adam: I didn’t see this coming, Jim.
[0:57:41 – 0:57:44] Erik: I didn’t realize our listener base, they were such thrushists.
[0:57:45 – 0:57:45] Adam: They are.
[0:57:46 – 0:57:46] Adam: They’re fools.
[0:57:47 – 0:57:47] Adam: Anti?
[0:57:47 – 0:57:51] Adam: Anti-thrush technology.
[0:57:51 – 0:57:54] Adam: It shouldn’t be given to the public.
[0:57:54 – 0:57:56] Adam: They should have kept that one secret.
[0:57:57 – 0:58:08] Adam: All right, we’ve got the 7-seed Rough Grouse going up here against the black-throated Blue Warbler upstart team there, the Warbler Conference.
[0:58:08 – 0:58:09] Erik: It’s going to be a hard matchup for the Warblers.
[0:58:10 – 0:58:10] Adam: Probably.
[0:58:10 – 0:58:13] Adam: I mean, there’s a lot of love for the rough grouse out there.
[0:58:13 – 0:58:18] Adam: I saw seven of them driving down here to Studio V, and they’re everywhere.
[0:58:18 – 0:58:23] Adam: And they are through with 80 votes to 18.
[0:58:23 – 0:58:28] Adam: The rough grouse easily getting through 80 to, what was it, 18.
[0:58:28 – 0:58:36] Adam: And the black-throated blue warbler might just be a figment of your imagination.
[0:58:36 – 0:58:38] Erik: I do like the picture of both birds.
[0:58:39 – 0:58:51] Adam: Yeah, that black-throated blue, what is it, black-throated blue warbler, that was the one I saw out on Clearwater while I was on the Stauber, and I looked over and I said, wow.
[0:58:52 – 0:58:53] Adam: Oh, wow.
[0:58:53 – 0:58:59] Adam: This will be the last time we get to see their picture, and let’s just take a moment to appreciate how nice that bird looks.
[0:59:00 – 0:59:04] Adam: Final matchup here at North Powell Lake and final matchup in the West.
[0:59:05 – 0:59:12] Adam: We’re about to lock in our first, was it 16 teams over here going into the second round?
[0:59:12 – 0:59:12] Erik: Yep.
[0:59:13 – 0:59:18] Adam: We got the number two seed, Bard Owl, going up against the 15 seed,
[0:59:19 – 0:59:20] Adam: Three-toed woodpecker.
[0:59:20 – 0:59:21] Erik: Uh-oh.
[0:59:21 – 0:59:25] Erik: I’ve heard some rumblings that this could potentially be an upset.
[0:59:25 – 0:59:27] Erik: I don’t know about that.
[0:59:28 – 0:59:31] Adam: The barred owl won the owl conference, which is very hard to do.
[0:59:32 – 0:59:34] Adam: And the three-toed is very elusive.
[0:59:36 – 0:59:37] Adam: But they don’t count the wings, Jim.
[0:59:37 – 0:59:38] Adam: They only count the toes.
[0:59:38 – 0:59:39] Adam: They only count the toes.
[0:59:40 – 0:59:41] Adam: The barred owl is through easily.
[0:59:41 – 0:59:42] Adam: Oh, my God.
[0:59:42 – 0:59:44] Adam: This is the biggest beatdown yet.
[0:59:44 – 0:59:44] Adam: 87 to 11.
[0:59:44 – 0:59:44] Adam: Whew.
[0:59:46 – 0:59:48] Adam: 87 to 11.
[0:59:48 – 0:59:49] Adam: The bar doll is through.
[0:59:51 – 0:59:55] Adam: So we’ve gotten two upsets in the West so far.
[0:59:55 – 0:59:59] Erik: Only two, and one is the greatest of all time in terms of…
[0:59:59 – 1:00:01] Adam: I cannot believe that…
[1:00:01 – 1:00:01] Adam: I can.
[1:00:02 – 1:00:02] Adam: I can believe it.
[1:00:03 – 1:00:04] Adam: Anything’s possible.
[1:00:05 – 1:00:09] Adam: But clearly people have never heard the Swainson’s Thrush call.
[1:00:10 – 1:00:11] Adam: But that’s okay.
[1:00:11 – 1:00:14] Adam: We’re going to use this as an opportunity to… To focus our anger on…
[1:00:15 – 1:00:20] Adam: To hopefully just get people to, next time you’re on a trip, try and listen for the Swainson’s Thrush.
[1:00:20 – 1:00:24] Adam: It’s unmistakable, and you cannot possibly miss it or hate on it.
[1:00:26 – 1:00:30] Adam: And, you know, the whippoorwill is through.
[1:00:30 – 1:00:31] Adam: We got one nightjar through, at least.
[1:00:32 – 1:00:32] Adam: No thrush.
[1:00:33 – 1:00:34] Erik: I guess, at least.
[1:00:35 – 1:00:36] Adam: A couple owls through here.
[1:00:37 – 1:00:41] Adam: Yeah, there’s a lot of potential out here in the west.
[1:00:43 – 1:00:43] Adam: Let’s see.
[1:00:43 – 1:00:55] Adam: We had 87 votes for the barred owl, 85 votes for the wood duck, 83 for the pileated woodpecker, and 90 for the common loon.
[1:00:55 – 1:00:57] Adam: Those are your top vote getters in the west.
[1:00:58 – 1:00:59] Adam: Holy moly, hot dog.
[1:01:00 – 1:01:10] Erik: All right, we’re moving on from the west to the east and from duck beers to fish beers.
[1:01:10 – 1:01:12] Erik: Uncle Bill to Uncle Chuck.
[1:01:13 – 1:01:15] Erik: Chuck’s check.
[1:01:16 – 1:01:19] Erik: There’s fish, a fat perch on mine.
[1:01:20 – 1:01:21] Adam: I got the trout.
[1:01:21 – 1:01:22] Erik: You got the trout.
[1:01:23 – 1:01:24] Adam: Cheers, sir.
[1:01:25 – 1:01:27] Adam: Thank you for the double tall boys.
[1:01:28 – 1:01:29] Erik: Mm-hmm.
[1:01:31 – 1:01:34] Adam: These ones, like, perfectly match the sticker on the palette here.
[1:01:34 – 1:01:35] Adam: Very nice.
[1:01:35 – 1:01:35] Adam: Yeah.
[1:01:35 – 1:01:36] Adam: Oh, my.
[1:01:37 – 1:01:38] Adam: Pils Lager.
[1:01:38 – 1:01:39] Erik: I think I…
[1:01:42 – 1:01:45] Erik: I think I like the Bills’ pills a little bit more, but this ain’t bad.
[1:01:45 – 1:01:46] Erik: No complaints.
[1:01:46 – 1:01:48] Adam: I think this one’s going to grow on me real nice.
[1:01:49 – 1:01:51] Erik: It’s going to grow a real nice lump in your liver.
[1:01:55 – 1:01:57] Erik: No, we’re all doing fine.
[1:01:57 – 1:01:59] Erik: Happy May.
[1:01:59 – 1:02:00] Adam: Happy May.
[1:02:00 – 1:02:04] Adam: May is bird month here on Tumble Home Sports Network.
[1:02:04 – 1:02:04] Adam: It is now.
[1:02:04 – 1:02:10] Adam: My name is Terry Davenport, and joining me here on the east side of the bracket is my dear friend Jim Sofa.
[1:02:11 – 1:02:12] Adam: Oh, my.
[1:02:12 – 1:02:21] Adam: We got, what, 32 more matchups to unravel here before we get out of the first round.
[1:02:22 – 1:02:25] Adam: And only a couple upset so far.
[1:02:25 – 1:02:26] Adam: I’m sure we’re going to get a couple more here.
[1:02:27 – 1:02:28] Erik: There’s got to be more than just two.
[1:02:28 – 1:02:29] Erik: Oh, there always is.
[1:02:30 – 1:02:31] Erik: Two big ones, though.
[1:02:31 – 1:02:32] Erik: My God.
[1:02:32 – 1:02:38] Adam: I tell you what, if another thrush goes down, though, you’re going to have to give me a quilt and a big glass of brandy.
[1:02:38 – 1:02:39] Erik: And send you to bed.
[1:02:39 – 1:02:40] Adam: Send you to bed, lady.
[1:02:42 – 1:02:42] Adam: Cool it.
[1:02:43 – 1:02:43] Erik: Cool it, lady.
[1:02:44 – 1:02:46] Adam: Go to the school teacher’s house and go right to bed.
[1:02:48 – 1:02:50] Erik: Moving over to the Saks Zimbabwe.
[1:02:50 – 1:02:53] Erik: Best time of year to be there when it’s still mostly frozen.
[1:02:53 – 1:02:55] Erik: Yep.
[1:02:55 – 1:02:57] Erik: 116’s matchup here.
[1:02:58 – 1:02:59] Erik: Shockingly close.
[1:03:00 – 1:03:05] Adam: I don’t think people understand that Gordy in a sombrero is the coach of the Mallards.
[1:03:06 – 1:03:09] Adam: I had a couple of people be like, I don’t understand why the Mallards are a one seed.
[1:03:09 – 1:03:11] Adam: Like, have you ever listened to tumble home before?
[1:03:12 – 1:03:20] Adam: I literally found a Mallard decoy on Lake three and he’s been zip tied to my canoe ever since wearing a little sombrero.
[1:03:20 – 1:03:22] Adam: So that’s why they’re a one seed.
[1:03:22 – 1:03:26] Adam: But apparently being a one seed doesn’t really count for anything with these voters.
[1:03:26 – 1:03:29] Adam: I saw that you actually used a decoy.
[1:03:29 – 1:03:30] Erik: Not Gordy.
[1:03:30 – 1:03:31] Erik: I didn’t want to sway.
[1:03:31 – 1:03:34] Erik: If you just put Gordy in there, it probably would have been 100-0.
[1:03:34 – 1:03:38] Adam: The committee did consider actually putting Gordy himself in.
[1:03:39 – 1:03:43] Adam: as a team, but they just decided to put in the Mallards, of which Gordy is the coach.
[1:03:43 – 1:03:44] Adam: Yes.
[1:03:44 – 1:03:45] Adam: That’s more fair.
[1:03:45 – 1:03:46] Adam: Yeah.
[1:03:46 – 1:03:50] Adam: In line with what we’re trying to do here, what we’re trying to build at Tomahawk Sports Network.
[1:03:51 – 1:03:51] Erik: Yeah.
[1:03:52 – 1:03:52] Adam: What was the score here?
[1:03:53 – 1:03:53] Erik: 61-34.
[1:03:55 – 1:03:56] Adam: Okay, they’re through.
[1:03:56 – 1:03:59] Erik: The yellow-bellied sapsuckers.
[1:03:59 – 1:04:04] Erik: Maybe a 16 seed is a little… That was a little rough for them.
[1:04:04 – 1:04:06] Erik: Maybe a potential insult to their program.
[1:04:07 – 1:04:08] Adam: Yeah, they came out and they fought.
[1:04:08 – 1:04:10] Adam: They’re nuts, those yellow-bellied sapsuckers.
[1:04:10 – 1:04:13] Adam: They’ll charge a large primate in the woods.
[1:04:13 – 1:04:14] Adam: They will do it.
[1:04:14 – 1:04:16] Adam: They’re not afraid of anybody.
[1:04:16 – 1:04:20] Erik: They will drill methodical holes…
[1:04:21 – 1:04:45] Adam: in a nice pattern they sure do will slowly kill bird and tree i’ll kill anybody that gets in their way they’re crazy and i’m glad they’re out moving down to the i’m glad they’re gone too they’re crazy that’s the first woodpecker to bite the dust i think yeah no the three toads out too so wow we in the last two matchups we lost the three-toed woodpecker and the yellow-bellied sapsucker
[1:04:46 – 1:04:59] Adam: uh-oh good night yep uh eight out of bed got the evening gross beaks and the blue jays going at it here oh my i did get an evening gross beak in the yard today is that an omen was it good or bad
[1:04:59 – 1:05:22] Erik: uh i don’t know uh the one other grosbeak that did not make the tournament uh was a little surprised by was the uh the pine grosbeaks the purple parrots didn’t make the journey yeah with evenings yeah no it’s weird i had pine grosbeaks all winter and then just now today got an evening grosbeak in the yard uh it’s a sign of the spring yeah well spring this year is may
[1:05:23 – 1:05:29] Erik: You say hello and say goodbye because the Blue Jays have dispatched with the evening Grosbeaks.
[1:05:29 – 1:05:29] Erik: 52-42.
[1:05:29 – 1:05:32] Adam: That one’s pretty close.
[1:05:32 – 1:05:33] Adam: Good matchup.
[1:05:33 – 1:05:34] Adam: That’s 8-9.
[1:05:36 – 1:05:38] Erik: I see a tight matchup in round two.
[1:05:38 – 1:05:40] Adam: Mallards versus Blue Jays.
[1:05:40 – 1:05:43] Adam: Yeah, I think that one will be a real close one.
[1:05:44 – 1:05:44] Erik: Yeah.
[1:05:45 – 1:05:46] Adam: All right, way to go, Jays.
[1:05:46 – 1:05:51] Adam: We got double Jays going on in your section of the bracket here.
[1:05:52 – 1:05:57] Adam: The gray Jays are featured as a seven seed later in this section of the bracket.
[1:05:58 – 1:05:58] Erik: JJ?
[1:05:58 – 1:06:00] Erik: A little JJ matchup?
[1:06:00 – 1:06:03] Adam: Yeah, we could have a JJ Elite Eight over here.
[1:06:04 – 1:06:12] Adam: If things break right, that wouldn’t be that crazy, but it’d be interesting.
[1:06:13 – 1:06:14] Adam: It would be interesting.
[1:06:14 – 1:06:15] Adam: That’s not the right word for it.
[1:06:16 – 1:06:18] Erik: Down in the 512, no upsets here.
[1:06:20 – 1:06:26] Erik: Probably up there with the Kinglets for finest do in the tournament.
[1:06:27 – 1:06:28] Erik: Common Mergansers.
[1:06:29 – 1:06:30] Erik: Oh yeah, oh yeah.
[1:06:30 – 1:06:33] Erik: Moving on past the psychopathic Winter Wrens.
[1:06:34 – 1:06:35] Adam: Yeah, the Winter Wrens had their fun.
[1:06:35 – 1:06:36] Adam: Yeah, they did.
[1:06:36 – 1:06:36] Erik: They came in.
[1:06:38 – 1:06:39] Adam: They came in and they had their fun.
[1:06:40 – 1:06:40] Erik: Yeah.
[1:06:40 – 1:06:41] Erik: Started a mild riot.
[1:06:44 – 1:06:46] Erik: Quickly dispatched 75 to 19.
[1:06:46 – 1:06:48] Adam: 75 to 19.
[1:06:48 – 1:06:58] Adam: Actually, they had 20 points, but they got deducted one point because one of the winter ends brought a big section of chain and tried to whip a merganser with it.
[1:06:58 – 1:06:59] Adam: Yeah.
[1:06:59 – 1:07:01] Adam: Just want to say this right now.
[1:07:01 – 1:07:01] Adam: That ain’t legal.
[1:07:02 – 1:07:02] Adam: Yeah.
[1:07:03 – 1:07:04] Adam: illegal at all.
[1:07:04 – 1:07:06] Adam: You’re not allowed to bring a chain.
[1:07:06 – 1:07:10] Erik: Yeah, you go to the hardware store and start whipping people in the beaks like that?
[1:07:10 – 1:07:14] Erik: You gotta go to the hardware store section in the back where it’s just all in a big spool.
[1:07:14 – 1:07:16] Erik: I want two feet of chain.
[1:07:16 – 1:07:17] Erik: And just ask, how much chain do you want?
[1:07:17 – 1:07:18] Erik: Two chains.
[1:07:18 – 1:07:20] Erik: Enough to swing over my head.
[1:07:20 – 1:07:22] Adam: But you have a little tiny wing.
[1:07:25 – 1:07:26] Erik: Did I stutter?
[1:07:26 – 1:07:27] Erik: Do what I ask.
[1:07:27 – 1:07:29] Adam: Yeah, well, the winter end sort of does.
[1:07:29 – 1:07:30] Adam: It does kind of stutter.
[1:07:30 – 1:07:33] Adam: All right, common mergansers through as a five seed.
[1:07:33 – 1:07:33] Adam: There we go.
[1:07:33 – 1:07:34] Erik: Yes.
[1:07:34 – 1:07:41] Erik: They’re going up against the winner of the ruby-throated hummingbirds and the downy woodpeckers.
[1:07:41 – 1:07:45] Adam: This is the cutest tiny bird matchup of the week right here.
[1:07:45 – 1:07:45] Erik: Quite cute.
[1:07:46 – 1:07:47] Erik: The hummingbirds are through, though.
[1:07:48 – 1:07:49] Erik: Bobbing and weaving.
[1:07:50 – 1:07:51] Erik: 55 to 39.
[1:07:51 – 1:07:54] Erik: All right, that one’s pretty close.
[1:07:54 – 1:07:55] Adam: Another woodpecker’s down.
[1:07:55 – 1:07:57] Erik: Can’t keep up with the hummingbirds.
[1:07:57 – 1:07:58] Erik: Ruby throated.
[1:07:58 – 1:07:59] Erik: They just won’t stop.
[1:07:59 – 1:08:03] Adam: Yeah, the hummingbirds are probably going to be here by next week’s show.
[1:08:03 – 1:08:05] Adam: They have not been spotted in Cook County yet.
[1:08:07 – 1:08:35] Adam: uh or the boundary waters as far as i’m concerned as far as i am aware uh but the ruby-throated hummingbirds um didn’t need to they won anyways and they’re gonna be here next week and i think it’s time to get the feeders out might as well just don’t cook up some sugar water jim the ruby-throated hummingbirds are coming in for a hover just don’t leave them out too long don’t leave them out too long though you don’t want them to you don’t want them to stay all winter
[1:08:36 – 1:08:37] Erik: They got to go?
[1:08:38 – 1:08:42] Adam: They got to go south, but they do have to come back north eventually, and they are on their way.
[1:08:42 – 1:08:43] Adam: That’s going to be a good one.
[1:08:44 – 1:08:50] Adam: Merganser versus the Hummingbirds in round two here at Zach’s Zim Bug.
[1:08:52 – 1:08:55] Erik: Moving down to the lost 40.
[1:08:56 – 1:08:59] Adam: Watched a little documentary on the last 40 last week.
[1:08:59 – 1:09:00] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[1:09:00 – 1:09:04] Adam: Magically showed up on my phone like it’s been listening to us this entire time, Jim.
[1:09:05 – 1:09:05] Adam: Shocker.
[1:09:05 – 1:09:08] Adam: I saw that pop up on my feed as well.
[1:09:08 – 1:09:08] Erik: Weird.
[1:09:08 – 1:09:09] Erik: Hmm.
[1:09:10 – 1:09:19] Erik: It’s almost like you’ve been searching birds and saying last 40 a bunch around a computer that doesn’t have a microphone and isn’t filming you while you masturbate.
[1:09:19 – 1:09:20] Erik: I can assure you.
[1:09:25 – 1:09:29] Adam: Anyways, they thought it was a lake, so that’s why it wasn’t in the plat book.
[1:09:29 – 1:09:30] Adam: Yep.
[1:09:30 – 1:09:31] Adam: We got upset alert.
[1:09:31 – 1:09:32] Adam: Shocking upset.
[1:09:32 – 1:09:33] Adam: Tanagers?
[1:09:33 – 1:09:34] Erik: The tanagers are through.
[1:09:34 – 1:09:36] Erik: The red-breasted nuthatches.
[1:09:36 – 1:09:37] Erik: Oh, no.
[1:09:37 – 1:09:38] Erik: One of the few.
[1:09:39 – 1:09:41] Erik: Year-long residents of the Boundary Waters.
[1:09:42 – 1:09:43] Adam: Dispatched.
[1:09:43 – 1:09:45] Adam: They don’t care that it’s not as pretty as this.
[1:09:45 – 1:09:46] Adam: They are pretty.
[1:09:46 – 1:09:50] Adam: These are two very nice-looking birds, but the Scarlet Tanager, that was a real stunner.
[1:09:50 – 1:09:53] Erik: Yeah, 11 seed over a 6 seed, 50 to 43.
[1:09:53 – 1:09:55] Erik: Ooh-wee, that was a close one.
[1:09:55 – 1:09:56] Erik: Tight matchup.
[1:09:56 – 1:09:57] Adam: All right, I like that.
[1:09:57 – 1:09:58] Adam: I do like that.
[1:10:01 – 1:10:19] Erik: This should have been my lock of the weeks because I think that if I would have had full access to seeing the bracket in front of me before I made it, because I can only see the bottom corner when we started recording, so I had to pick the wax wings.
[1:10:19 – 1:10:19] Erik: There we go.
[1:10:20 – 1:10:21] Erik: I’ve been Team Kingfisher…
[1:10:22 – 1:10:24] Adam: Yeah, you did say this last week.
[1:10:24 – 1:10:25] Erik: Big fan of the haircut.
[1:10:26 – 1:10:30] Erik: Maybe my favorite haircut between them and the Kinglets.
[1:10:32 – 1:10:36] Erik: Kingfishers smoke the American Redstarts, 84-11.
[1:10:37 – 1:10:37] Erik: Ooh.
[1:10:38 – 1:10:46] Adam: This is only going to fuel the fire of people thinking that the yellow-rumped warblers should have got in over the American Redstart in this tournament.
[1:10:46 – 1:10:46] Erik: Mm-hmm.
[1:10:47 – 1:10:48] Adam: But I don’t think it would have mattered.
[1:10:48 – 1:10:52] Adam: I think the Kingfisher would have taken care of those butter butts just the same.
[1:10:52 – 1:10:58] Adam: 84 is a big show of force and confidence from the voters for that Kingfisher team.
[1:10:58 – 1:11:00] Adam: They do look very good.
[1:11:01 – 1:11:02] Adam: They’re swooping.
[1:11:02 – 1:11:03] Erik: They’re swooping.
[1:11:03 – 1:11:04] Erik: They’re diving.
[1:11:04 – 1:11:05] Adam: Nobody swoops like the Kingfishers.
[1:11:05 – 1:11:06] Erik: They’re screeching.
[1:11:07 – 1:11:08] Adam: Especially up in that last 40.
[1:11:08 – 1:11:09] Adam: They got a lot of room to work.
[1:11:09 – 1:11:11] Erik: A lot of room to spread the wings.
[1:11:11 – 1:11:13] Adam: A lot of room to swoop in the big trees.
[1:11:13 – 1:11:14] Erik: Not a ton of water, though.
[1:11:14 – 1:11:16] Erik: They like being at the edges of water.
[1:11:17 – 1:11:24] Adam: There’s a little pond slash water wetlands complex there in the last 40, so they’re right at home down there.
[1:11:25 – 1:11:27] Adam: Yeah, going up against the Scarlet Tanager.
[1:11:27 – 1:11:29] Adam: That’s going to be a real interesting matchup in the second round.
[1:11:30 – 1:11:32] Adam: Pleased to see the Tanagers through.
[1:11:32 – 1:11:34] Adam: That is the brightest red bird you got.
[1:11:34 – 1:11:35] Erik: It is.
[1:11:35 – 1:11:41] Erik: Moving on to the 710, the Grey Jays, the Camp Rubbers, the Whiskey Jacks.
[1:11:41 – 1:11:42] Erik: Yep.
[1:11:45 – 1:11:46] Erik: Is there any other names for them?
[1:11:47 – 1:11:47] Erik: Canadian Jays?
[1:11:48 – 1:11:54] Adam: We were saying last week that they have little booty belts, which they rob and pillage, and then they put the booty in their belts.
[1:11:55 – 1:11:58] Adam: And the little booty belts against the baby loons.
[1:11:58 – 1:12:00] Erik: The loonlings, yes.
[1:12:01 – 1:12:02] Adam: Yeah, I don’t know.
[1:12:02 – 1:12:08] Adam: People were speculating that the actual big loons had been working the committee to get the little loons in there.
[1:12:08 – 1:12:11] Erik: It’s like the B team and the Iditarod.
[1:12:11 – 1:12:11] Erik: Yeah.
[1:12:11 – 1:12:12] Erik: It’s just the rookie team.
[1:12:12 – 1:12:13] Erik: Yeah, we’re going to run together.
[1:12:13 – 1:12:15] Erik: You got to get some miles on them.
[1:12:15 – 1:12:15] Adam: Yep.
[1:12:15 – 1:12:18] Erik: They’re not going to win or anything, but we’re getting ready for a future championship run.
[1:12:18 – 1:12:20] Adam: Yeah, no, it’s smart.
[1:12:20 – 1:12:21] Adam: That’s just called being smart, Jim.
[1:12:22 – 1:12:26] Erik: Yeah, well, they’re not effing around, the loonlings.
[1:12:26 – 1:12:28] Adam: They do take care of business.
[1:12:28 – 1:12:28] Adam: They do.
[1:12:28 – 1:12:29] Erik: Uh-oh.
[1:12:29 – 1:12:30] Erik: 51 to 44.
[1:12:30 – 1:12:31] Adam: 51 to 44.
[1:12:31 – 1:12:31] Adam: Uh-oh.
[1:12:32 – 1:12:33] Adam: Meme potential rising.
[1:12:34 – 1:12:35] Adam: Loonlings are through.
[1:12:37 – 1:12:39] Adam: So somebody, like, says they’re very cute.
[1:12:40 – 1:12:40] Adam: You can’t deny it.
[1:12:41 – 1:12:42] Adam: Loonlings are through is the 10 seed.
[1:12:42 – 1:12:43] Adam: Watch out.
[1:12:43 – 1:12:44] Erik: Loonlings are through.
[1:12:44 – 1:12:46] Adam: We got a 10 seed and 11 seed through all of a sudden.
[1:12:46 – 1:12:47] Adam: A couple little upsets.
[1:12:48 – 1:12:48] Erik: 9 seed.
[1:12:48 – 1:12:49] Erik: The Blue Jays.
[1:12:49 – 1:12:50] Erik: Not a huge upset, but you know.
[1:12:52 – 1:12:56] Erik: Down to the last matchup in the last lost 40.
[1:12:57 – 1:12:59]
