[0:00:36 – 0:00:37] Adam: I don’t think we should be here.
[0:00:38 – 0:00:42] Adam: I see no water or friends, but the music keeps hitting me like a 10 out of 10.
[0:00:43 – 0:00:45] Adam: My name is Terry Davenport.
[0:00:45 – 0:00:52] Adam: Welcome to Tumble Home Sports Network’s live coverage of the Birdamond 2026.
[0:00:53 – 0:00:59] Adam: Joining me here in the Tumble Shed at TSN headquarters is my dear friend Jim Sofa.
[0:01:00 – 0:01:00] ErikTSN: Good evening, Jim.
[0:01:01 – 0:01:02] ErikTSN: Good evening.
[0:01:02 – 0:01:04] ErikTSN: We’re back in the shed.
[0:01:04 – 0:01:07] Adam: Shed’s looking pretty nice, Jim.
[0:01:08 – 0:01:09] Adam: Peepers are peeping.
[0:01:10 – 0:01:11] Adam: Peepers be peeping.
[0:01:12 – 0:01:12] Adam: Yeah.
[0:01:13 – 0:01:16] Adam: Came out here, I cleaned up all the confetti.
[0:01:17 – 0:01:20] ErikTSN: All the cigar butts from last year’s tourney that we celebrated.
[0:01:20 – 0:01:22] Adam: It was wild.
[0:01:22 – 0:01:24] Adam: I forgot how wild that got.
[0:01:24 – 0:01:28] ErikTSN: Dried drips of champagne hanging from the rafters.
[0:01:29 – 0:01:36] Adam: Yeah, and did a whole to-do on this place last night, and the northern lights were out.
[0:01:36 – 0:01:42] Adam: It was KP Index stopped by to help scrub the table and the mini fridge.
[0:01:42 – 0:01:43] ErikTSN: Oh, yeah, what’s he up to these days?
[0:01:45 – 0:01:46] Adam: He’s not doing good, Jim.
[0:01:46 – 0:01:50] ErikTSN: Oh, yeah, he’s helping people clean their sheds in northern Minnesota.
[0:01:51 – 0:01:52] Adam: And that was court-mandated, actually.
[0:01:53 – 0:01:53] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:01:54 – 0:01:55] ErikTSN: Not great.
[0:01:55 – 0:01:57] ErikTSN: I wasn’t super excited to be here.
[0:01:57 – 0:01:59] Adam: Not really thrilled about that one.
[0:01:59 – 0:02:01] ErikTSN: Just watched you get slowly hammered.
[0:02:02 – 0:02:04] Adam: I can’t partake.
[0:02:04 – 0:02:05] ErikTSN: You’re not allowed to join in.
[0:02:05 – 0:02:09] ErikTSN: I’ve got one of those electronic anklets that tracks me.
[0:02:10 – 0:02:14] ErikTSN: And I’ve got to blow into my steering wheel before I can start up my car.
[0:02:15 – 0:02:16] ErikTSN: So you do whatever you need to do.
[0:02:16 – 0:02:19] Adam: He was actually driving a John Deere lawn tractor.
[0:02:19 – 0:02:19] Adam: Wow.
[0:02:20 – 0:02:23] ErikTSN: It’s a slow moving, it’s not much of a commuter.
[0:02:23 – 0:02:25] Adam: To go visit his brother in Iowa.
[0:02:25 – 0:02:26] ErikTSN: Dang, who’s his brother?
[0:02:27 – 0:02:31] Adam: The short story, that’s the name of the movie.
[0:02:32 – 0:02:35] Adam: They based that movie on this story.
[0:02:35 – 0:02:36] ErikTSN: The short story?
[0:02:36 – 0:02:38] ErikTSN: I don’t know if that’s right now.
[0:02:38 – 0:02:39] Adam: I’m saying it out loud.
[0:02:39 – 0:02:40] ErikTSN: I don’t know what you’re talking about.
[0:02:41 – 0:02:50] Adam: The movie where the old guy has to visit his brother on the lawnmower because he gets his driver’s license taken away and refuses to ride public transit.
[0:02:51 – 0:02:53] ErikTSN: That sounds like a number of movies.
[0:02:53 – 0:02:55] Adam: Yeah.
[0:02:56 – 0:03:04] Adam: Anyways, KP Index was trying to go see his brother, Reginald Index.
[0:03:04 – 0:03:06] Adam: Reginald Index, the one that didn’t make it?
[0:03:07 – 0:03:10] Adam: Reginald Carson Index, R.C.
[0:03:10 – 0:03:12] Adam: Kinglett, otherwise known as R.C.
[0:03:12 – 0:03:12] Adam: Kinglett.
[0:03:12 – 0:03:13] Adam: Wait.
[0:03:13 – 0:03:15] Adam: And that’s not good.
[0:03:15 – 0:03:15] Adam: Wait.
[0:03:17 – 0:03:17] Adam: Okay.
[0:03:20 – 0:03:25] ErikTSN: Yeah, we are covering the two rounds tonight.
[0:03:26 – 0:03:33] ErikTSN: We’re going to be into a Final Four situation.
[0:03:33 – 0:03:39] Adam: By the end of the night, we’re going to be down to four possible contestants for the Champion’s Nest.
[0:03:39 – 0:03:40] Adam: The Champion’s Limb.
[0:03:43 – 0:03:45] Adam: The champion’s nest is the two teams, right?
[0:03:46 – 0:03:47] Adam: Well, the nest is the final.
[0:03:48 – 0:03:48] Adam: Yes.
[0:03:48 – 0:03:50] Adam: The nest is the final.
[0:03:51 – 0:03:53] Adam: Who’s going to peck those beaks, Jim?
[0:03:53 – 0:03:54] ErikTSN: Net peckers.
[0:03:55 – 0:03:56] ErikTSN: Pecking those nets.
[0:03:57 – 0:03:58] ErikTSN: Yeah, my God.
[0:03:58 – 0:03:58] ErikTSN: Covering two rounds.
[0:03:58 – 0:03:59] ErikTSN: We’re going to try and not spoil it.
[0:03:59 – 0:04:00] ErikTSN: Spoil ourselves.
[0:04:00 – 0:04:16] ErikTSN: We’ve done our best this week to stay off of the voting forums and the meme factory that is the subreddit, which, boy, had a nice little spike in activity last week for a variety of reasons.
[0:04:16 – 0:04:19] ErikTSN: Some good and some even better.
[0:04:20 – 0:04:20] ErikTSN: Even better.
[0:04:21 – 0:04:21] UNKNOWN: Yeah.
[0:04:22 – 0:04:36] ErikTSN: And yeah, we will be live streaming from the park multiple times this summer and yeah, gaining and garnering rightfully tens of thousands of more true human listener interactions.

[0:04:41 – 0:04:47] ErikTSN: But tonight, we’re doing the Sweet 16, the Elite 8, or Jake’s 8, as it were.

[0:06:23 – 0:06:29] Adam: There it is sitting on the side of the road with its little thumb out and showing a lot of leg.
[0:06:29 – 0:06:33] Adam: And, but we didn’t, unfortunately we’re running late and we also didn’t have any room to

[0:06:52 – 0:06:52] Adam: Dang.

[0:07:02 – 0:07:04] Adam: The Joey’s, for sure.
[0:07:04 – 0:07:06] Adam: I don’t think a lot of people…
[0:07:08 – 0:07:14] Adam: I’ve never personally come to terms with the fact that Marcel the Monkey was the one who did 9-11, though, it turns out.
[0:07:14 – 0:07:15] ErikTSN: Oh, yeah?
[0:07:15 – 0:07:20] Adam: After all these years, I’ve still not come to terms with the fact that Marcel was the terrorist.
[0:07:20 – 0:07:23] Adam: It was Chaney and Marcel behind the whole thing?
[0:07:23 – 0:07:24] Adam: Chaney and Marcel.
[0:07:24 – 0:07:30] Adam: Of course it would be Chaney and a monkey.
[0:07:30 – 0:07:35] Adam: Yeah, and I don’t know.
[0:07:36 – 0:07:37] Adam: I’m still a little shook up by that.
[0:07:37 – 0:07:38] Adam: I don’t know if you can tell, Jim.
[0:07:39 – 0:07:41] ErikTSN: How many of those monkeys do you think they went through on that show?
[0:07:41 – 0:07:41] ErikTSN: Two.
[0:07:41 – 0:07:42] ErikTSN: There’s two.
[0:07:42 – 0:07:42] ErikTSN: Two?
[0:07:43 – 0:07:43] ErikTSN: You know that?
[0:07:43 – 0:07:45] Adam: There’s one called Katie and one called Monkey.
[0:07:45 – 0:07:46] Adam: Wow.
[0:07:46 – 0:07:49] Adam: Those two monkeys played the role of Marcel.
[0:07:49 – 0:07:50] Adam: It was like the Olsen twins?
[0:07:50 – 0:07:51] Adam: Yeah.
[0:07:51 – 0:07:51] Adam: In Full House.
[0:07:52 – 0:07:53] Adam: Monkey had to be put down.
[0:07:54 – 0:07:55] Adam: Just like Mary-Kate.
[0:07:56 – 0:07:57] Adam: For biting Phoebe.
[0:07:58 – 0:07:59] Adam: Just like Mary-Kate.
[0:08:00 – 0:08:02] Adam: Same exact situation.
[0:08:02 – 0:08:03] Adam: Bit cousin Joey.
[0:08:03 – 0:08:04] Adam: Yeah, biting situation.
[0:08:04 – 0:08:05] Adam: And the different Joey.

[0:08:07 – 0:08:08] Adam: Yeah, they each bit Joey.
[0:08:08 – 0:08:09] Adam: An actual Joey.
[0:08:09 – 0:08:11] Adam: Yeah, Mary Kate bit cousin Joey.
[0:08:11 – 0:08:13] ErikTSN: Isn’t that what baby kangaroos are called?
[0:08:13 – 0:08:21] Adam: Baby monkey bit Joey Calzone or whatever his name was.
[0:08:21 – 0:08:22] Adam: He never had a job.
[0:08:24 – 0:08:25] Adam: How do you afford that rent?
[0:08:27 – 0:08:49] ErikTSN: uh did the museum just give him that monkey or why did ross have a monkey because nobody worked at a museum wasn’t he like a curator yeah they never we never saw any of them at work besides monica she was like a chef she didn’t strike me as a chef she did not strike me as a chef in that show not working chef hours that’s for sure maybe this next winter which seems like unfortunately i will be around for we should do a friend’s rewatch

[0:08:51 – 0:08:51] ErikTSN: Okay.
[0:08:51 – 0:08:53] Adam: Squashed immediately.
[0:08:53 – 0:08:54] Adam: Maybe.
[0:08:54 – 0:08:55] Adam: Oh, all right.
[0:08:55 – 0:08:55] Adam: I’ll do it.

[0:09:04 – 0:09:05] Adam: Obviously.
[0:09:05 – 0:09:11] Adam: Obviously, I’m not thinking straight, and we should probably open up this fine bag of art supply sponsors we had.
[0:09:12 – 0:09:19] Adam: I was able to get out here in the shed last night and watch the northern lights with the big door wide open and listen to the peepers going.
[0:09:20 – 0:09:25] Adam: Also got in here and made sure we cleaned out that mini fridge, and we did a really good job.
[0:09:25 – 0:09:27] Adam: And then I stuck the…
[0:09:28 – 0:09:31] Adam: The art supply sponsors in the fridge and turned it on.
[0:09:31 – 0:09:32] Adam: Seems like it’s still going.
[0:09:32 – 0:09:33] Adam: Nice.
[0:09:33 – 0:09:35] Adam: Mini fridge is still going strong.
[0:09:35 – 0:09:41] ErikTSN: Well, it can’t get any better than floating chunks of carrot puree.

[0:10:41 – 0:10:43] ErikTSN: Weltenwanderer.
[0:10:43 – 0:10:44] ErikTSN: This is very nice.
[0:10:44 – 0:10:45] ErikTSN: Bamberg style.
[0:10:45 – 0:10:46] ErikTSN: Bamberg?
[0:10:47 – 0:10:47] ErikTSN: I’ve never heard of Bamberg.
[0:10:47 – 0:10:49] Adam: Hammer Heart Brewing Company.
[0:10:50 – 0:10:51] Adam: Weltenwanderer.
[0:10:51 – 0:10:53] ErikTSN: Oh, this is out of Ely.

[0:10:53 – 0:10:54] ErikTSN: Hot damn.
[0:10:54 – 0:10:56] Adam: I told you they’re from out west.
[0:10:56 – 0:10:57] ErikTSN: News to me.

[0:11:02 – 0:11:02] ErikTSN: Yeah.
[0:11:03 – 0:11:04] ErikTSN: The artwork is crazy.
[0:11:05 – 0:11:06] ErikTSN: I always loved that.
[0:11:06 – 0:11:16] ErikTSN: I don’t know what you would describe that as, but it’s like the glowing black and white imagery of a star or a fire.
[0:11:17 – 0:11:23] ErikTSN: It looks like a fire with some kind of a dock or walkway, a space walkway going out to it.
[0:11:24 – 0:11:24] ErikTSN: I like the artwork.
[0:11:25 – 0:11:26] Adam: It’s pretty smoky.
[0:11:26 – 0:11:27] ErikTSN: Oh, yeah, it’s smoked.
[0:11:28 – 0:11:28] Adam: Ooh, it’s smoked.
[0:11:29 – 0:11:29] Adam: It sure is.
[0:11:29 – 0:11:40] Adam: Eric and Adam, greetings as we embark on an all-out assault on your northern winter wonderland with our snow machines in search of hungry lake trout.
[0:11:40 – 0:11:44] Adam: I hope you will be pleased with us offering a beer from the other side of the park.
[0:11:44 – 0:11:52] Adam: Hammerheart is not for everyone, but much like our favorite podcast, it is different from the masses and has a loyal following.
[0:11:52 – 0:11:53] Adam: Keep up the great work.
[0:11:53 – 0:11:56] Adam: Trent from Evansville, Minnesota.
[0:11:57 – 0:11:57] ErikTSN: Nice.
[0:11:57 – 0:11:58] Adam: You know where Evansville is?
[0:11:59 – 0:12:00] ErikTSN: I don’t know.
[0:12:00 – 0:12:05] ErikTSN: Somewhere in the meaty, chunky middle of the state.
[0:12:06 – 0:12:10] Adam: I believe he said it’s northwest or just west.
[0:12:10 – 0:12:10] Adam: Okay.
[0:12:11 – 0:12:35] ErikTSN: uh yeah i almost would rather have chunks of carrot in my mouth than drink any more of this beer huh it’s not for everyone maybe the worst beer i’ve ever had on tumble home no it might be this is god awful like what this is like
[0:12:37 – 0:12:39] ErikTSN: This is just pure smoke to me.
[0:12:39 – 0:12:40] Adam: It’s very smoky.
[0:12:40 – 0:12:42] Adam: I don’t like it.
[0:12:43 – 0:12:49] ErikTSN: I’m going to have one more sip and switch back over to just plain water.
[0:12:51 – 0:12:53] Adam: Eric is hard to please.
[0:12:54 – 0:12:55] ErikTSN: Yeah, God.
[0:12:55 – 0:12:57] Adam: Who wants to drink smoke?
[0:12:58 – 0:12:59] Adam: Bomberg style.
[0:12:59 – 0:13:00] Adam: Put it in my meat.
[0:13:01 – 0:13:04] Adam: Maybe if you’re hanging out at Betty’s Pies, you want to drink smoke.
[0:13:05 – 0:13:08] ErikTSN: I guess that’s what they’re probably having for dessert tonight after the pie.
[0:13:08 – 0:13:09] ErikTSN: Smoked custard.
[0:13:10 – 0:13:13] ErikTSN: Whether you like it or not, you’re getting smoked out.
[0:13:14 – 0:13:14] ErikTSN: Yep.
[0:13:15 – 0:13:16] ErikTSN: How’s that all going?
[0:13:16 – 0:13:17] ErikTSN: I don’t know.
[0:13:17 – 0:13:18] ErikTSN: Are the pies okay?
[0:13:18 – 0:13:23] Adam: It was windy as hell here today, and I just burned a bunch of trash and left it unattended all day.
[0:13:23 – 0:13:25] Adam: It felt like a great day to do that.
[0:13:26 – 0:13:29] Adam: I just lit a bunch of cardboard on fire and then wandered off into the woods.
[0:13:29 – 0:13:31] ErikTSN: What’s the best thing to light on fire and just walk away?
[0:13:31 – 0:13:32] Adam: Piles of cardboard.
[0:13:32 – 0:13:35] Adam: I figured I had this huge pile of cardboard.
[0:13:36 – 0:13:37] Adam: Who gives a shit about anybody else?
[0:13:38 – 0:13:41] Adam: We’re just going to light this thing up and let the wind do its thing.
[0:13:41 – 0:13:43] Adam: My cardboard, it was gone when I got back.
[0:13:44 – 0:13:45] Adam: Yeah, it didn’t even look like I started a fire.
[0:13:46 – 0:13:47] Adam: I didn’t even see where it was.
[0:13:47 – 0:13:49] ErikTSN: Some kind of a distant smoke issue.
[0:13:49 – 0:13:50] Adam: So it worked great, you know.
[0:13:51 – 0:13:54] Adam: Mission accomplished, and my chores are done.
[0:13:55 – 0:13:56] ErikTSN: Yeah, it’s only Saturday.
[0:13:57 – 0:13:58] Adam: You got one more free day.
[0:13:58 – 0:14:00] Adam: I got a whole day left to do whatever I want.
[0:14:01 – 0:14:03] ErikTSN: Accrue and acquire more cardboard for next weekend’s fire.
[0:14:03 – 0:14:05] Adam: Maybe I will go find some more cardboard to burn, yeah.
[0:14:07 – 0:14:07] Adam: You know what?
[0:14:08 – 0:14:12] Adam: I also was thinking I had a whole pile of old glossy magazines to burn.
[0:14:12 – 0:14:18] Adam: I had a whole pile of old Sports Illustrateds and New York Times Sunday readers.
[0:14:18 – 0:14:19] Adam: Sports Illustrateds?
[0:14:19 – 0:14:21] Adam: I might just burn all those.
[0:14:21 – 0:14:22] ErikTSN: Are they still printing Sports Illustrateds?
[0:14:23 – 0:14:24] Adam: Are they still printing magazines?
[0:14:25 – 0:14:25] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:14:25 – 0:14:26] Adam: You can still get it.
[0:14:26 – 0:14:28] Adam: I got a bunch of National Geographics.
[0:14:28 – 0:14:30] Adam: I was just going to burn them all tomorrow.
[0:14:30 – 0:14:31] Adam: It’s supposed to be real windy.
[0:14:31 – 0:14:34] ErikTSN: Whatever you do, don’t sign up for a magazine subscription in this day and age.
[0:14:35 – 0:14:36] ErikTSN: They’re impossible to get rid of.
[0:14:36 – 0:14:37] ErikTSN: You cannot stop.
[0:14:37 – 0:14:38] ErikTSN: Please.
[0:14:39 – 0:14:40] ErikTSN: I refuse to pay you.
[0:14:40 – 0:14:40] ErikTSN: No.
[0:14:40 – 0:14:46] ErikTSN: And even after you quit, they send you like four more months of like, this might be your last issue.
[0:14:47 – 0:14:48] ErikTSN: Please.
[0:14:48 – 0:14:48] ErikTSN: Think about it.
[0:14:49 – 0:14:50] ErikTSN: Just think about what you’re doing here.
[0:14:50 – 0:14:54] Adam: You won’t be able to read any of these advertisements that are really paying for the magazine.
[0:14:55 – 0:14:56] Adam: So please keep reading it.
[0:14:56 – 0:14:58] ErikTSN: I wanted to be done with this months ago.
[0:14:58 – 0:14:59] ErikTSN: Why are you still sending me?
[0:14:59 – 0:15:02] ErikTSN: Oh, it’s got a little tag on the front that says this might be my last.
[0:15:03 – 0:15:03] Adam: Good.
[0:15:03 – 0:15:05] ErikTSN: I wanted it to be done months ago.
[0:15:07 – 0:15:10] ErikTSN: Oh, Terry, Terry, Terry, Terry, Terry.
[0:15:10 – 0:15:11] Adam: Jim, I’ll tell you what.
[0:15:11 – 0:15:13] Adam: Did you get to watch Rio this week?
[0:15:13 – 0:15:14] Adam: I did.
[0:15:14 – 0:15:14] Adam: All right.
[0:15:14 – 0:15:17] Adam: We are going to do Tumble Home Cinema Classics tonight.
[0:15:18 – 0:15:19] ErikTSN: I watched it at three times speed.
[0:15:19 – 0:15:20] ErikTSN: It only took 20 minutes.
[0:15:22 – 0:15:23] Adam: He doesn’t like the beer.
[0:15:23 – 0:15:28] Adam: He doesn’t like the movies I pick out, but I do like talking to him.
[0:15:28 – 0:15:30] Adam: He’s my buddy Eric over here.
[0:15:30 – 0:15:31] Adam: I like what I like.
[0:15:32 – 0:15:34] ErikTSN: I didn’t watch it at three times speed.
[0:15:34 – 0:15:34] ErikTSN: That was a joke.
[0:15:34 – 0:15:39] ErikTSN: But I did click the option to see how fast I could speed it up.
[0:15:39 – 0:15:41] Adam: And three times is the speed where I’m like.
[0:15:42 – 0:15:43] Adam: It was a clean 91 minutes.
[0:15:44 – 0:15:46] ErikTSN: What’s even the point of putting something at three times speed?
[0:15:46 – 0:15:48] ErikTSN: Like you can’t even comprehend what’s happening.
[0:15:48 – 0:15:49] ErikTSN: Two is kind of like pushing the limits.
[0:15:49 – 0:15:52] Adam: I don’t know what the point of going to two is or one and a half even.
[0:15:53 – 0:15:54] Adam: Just watch it or don’t.
[0:15:54 – 0:15:59] ErikTSN: Well, that’s the same thing I think about some of the people that I hear about listening to this show, and it sped up.
[0:16:00 – 0:16:00] ErikTSN: People do that?
[0:16:01 – 0:16:01] Adam: They would never.
[0:16:01 – 0:16:02] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:16:02 – 0:16:02] Adam: They would never.
[0:16:03 – 0:16:06] ErikTSN: Why even listen if you want to listen to, like, I just got to get through it.
[0:16:06 – 0:16:11] Adam: Our voices sound insane enough at normal speed, and please don’t speed us up.
[0:16:12 – 0:16:16] Adam: I would now, if anybody wants to listen to Tomahawk at 0.5.
[0:16:16 – 0:16:17] Adam: Slow us down.
[0:16:17 – 0:16:17] Adam: Slow us down.
[0:16:17 – 0:16:18] Adam: Yeah, 0.25.
[0:16:20 – 0:16:24] Adam: Hit us up on the Discord or email tumblehomecast at gmail.com.
[0:16:24 – 0:16:29] Adam: Any of you freaks out there, you birdie freaks out there listening to this show at .5?
[0:16:29 – 0:16:31] Adam: Half speed.
[0:16:31 – 0:16:31] Adam: Oh.
[0:16:32 – 0:16:33] Adam: I want to savor it.
[0:16:33 – 0:16:35] Adam: I want to savor it.
[0:16:35 – 0:16:37] ErikTSN: Like a fine, fine gravy.
[0:16:39 – 0:16:40] Adam: Yeah, that’s a mouth mixer.
[0:16:40 – 0:16:42] Adam: That’s an ear mixer right there.
[0:16:42 – 0:16:45] Adam: You just poured a bunch of sweet gravy right in your ear.
[0:16:45 – 0:16:50] ErikTSN: Yeah, listening to the intro slowed down NBA theme song at half speed.
[0:16:51 – 0:16:51] ErikTSN: My gosh.
[0:16:51 – 0:16:55] ErikTSN: I can’t even comprehend what song I’m listening to.
[0:16:56 – 0:17:00] ErikTSN: We’ll make sure to talk really extra fast for you half speed listeners this week.
[0:17:00 – 0:17:03] Adam: Yeah, we’re going to do our best for everybody out there.
[0:17:04 – 0:17:04] Adam: We always do.
[0:17:04 – 0:17:05] ErikTSN: We always do our best.
[0:17:05 – 0:17:06] ErikTSN: At least try.
[0:17:08 – 0:17:16] Adam: All right, do you have a lock of the week or an upset of the week to start with here on Tumble Home Sports Network for the Sweet 16 coverage, Jim?
[0:17:17 – 0:17:19] ErikTSN: Out of both sides, lock of the week.
[0:17:19 – 0:17:23] Adam: We got the big tournament bracket here propped up against the big map.
[0:17:24 – 0:17:26] ErikTSN: And I can’t lock my lock from last week?
[0:17:26 – 0:17:27] Adam: Is that what’s…
[0:17:27 – 0:17:27] Adam: Correct.
[0:17:28 – 0:17:30] Adam: You’re not allowed to relock the same lock.
[0:17:30 – 0:17:32] Adam: It’s already locked.
[0:17:32 – 0:17:35] Adam: Can I do a lock and an upset on the same?
[0:17:35 – 0:17:35] Adam: Yeah, you can double up.
[0:17:36 – 0:17:37] Adam: I’m locking an upset.
[0:17:37 – 0:17:38] Adam: Oh, my God.
[0:17:38 – 0:17:38] Adam: All right.
[0:17:38 – 0:17:41] Adam: Cha-chunk?
[0:17:41 – 0:17:48] Adam: I haven’t seen anything this crazy since Charles Barkley did Fun Dip with Shaquille O’Neal on TNT.
[0:17:50 – 0:17:52] ErikTSN: Wow, Shaquille O’Neal and Barkley back in the mix tonight.
[0:17:53 – 0:17:55] ErikTSN: You never know with those two clowns.
[0:17:55 – 0:17:58] ErikTSN: It’s basically like our adjacent parallel.
[0:17:59 – 0:18:00] ErikTSN: Yeah.
[0:18:00 – 0:18:09] ErikTSN: If you were ever really wondering what the vibes in the studio are like, just watch some behind-the-scenes TNT.
[0:18:09 – 0:18:10] ErikTSN: Just like that.
[0:18:10 – 0:18:13] ErikTSN: Chuck and Shaq convos.
[0:18:14 – 0:18:14] ErikTSN: Yeah.
[0:18:14 – 0:18:20] ErikTSN: And, you know, get those young boys coming and keep hammering those boys.
[0:18:20 – 0:18:23] Adam: I don’t know what he’s talking about now.
[0:18:24 – 0:18:29] Adam: I’m locking in the ruby-throated hummingbirds as my lock and upset.
[0:18:29 – 0:18:29] Adam: All right.
[0:18:29 – 0:18:31] ErikTSN: The mallards are going down.
[0:18:31 – 0:18:32] ErikTSN: I can sense it.
[0:18:33 – 0:18:33] Adam: Wow.
[0:18:33 – 0:18:34] Adam: All right.
[0:18:34 – 0:18:36] ErikTSN: They’ve been just tight, tight.
[0:18:36 – 0:18:58] ErikTSN: roping their way into the sweet 16 people are there’s been a a mild groundswell of uh anti-mallard hatred out there i don’t know what it is why it exists but i can sense it and uh i’m i’m sniffing out i’m sniffing the dirt those days are not over and uh the the hummingbirds are going through they might be one of the last remaining small birds
[0:18:59 – 0:19:00] ErikTSN: When the dust settles.
[0:19:00 – 0:19:01] Adam: All right.
[0:19:01 – 0:19:14] Adam: Well, I was going to go with the ruby-throated hummingbirds, and our cheese buyer saw one on the feeder on Thursday, and my mother-in-law saw one on their feeder yesterday.
[0:19:15 – 0:19:16] Adam: The hummingbirds are here.
[0:19:16 – 0:19:18] Adam: They’ve shown up for the Sweet 16.
[0:19:18 – 0:19:19] ErikTSN: Yeah, they are.
[0:19:19 – 0:19:20] Adam: I was feeling really good about it.
[0:19:21 – 0:19:25] Adam: I’m going to put out some three-to-one mix with a little blue food coloring in it.
[0:19:26 – 0:19:26] Adam: Oh, blue.
[0:19:26 – 0:19:28] ErikTSN: I want to put a little three to one.
[0:19:28 – 0:19:31] Adam: You know, maybe I’m going to sweeten them up more than a four to one.
[0:19:32 – 0:19:37] Adam: I was going to go with the ruby-throated hummingbird as my upset because… Oh, I scooped your upset.
[0:19:37 – 0:19:38] Adam: It was.
[0:19:38 – 0:19:40] Adam: They were my lock of the week last week.
[0:19:40 – 0:19:40] Adam: Double lock?
[0:19:41 – 0:19:41] Adam: Double upset?
[0:19:41 – 0:19:44] Adam: You can’t lock them again, but you could pick them as the upset.
[0:19:44 – 0:19:44] Adam: I could have.
[0:19:44 – 0:19:46] ErikTSN: What’s your upset marker that you draw on?
[0:19:46 – 0:19:47] Adam: I don’t have one.
[0:19:48 – 0:19:49] ErikTSN: Upside down smiley face?
[0:19:49 – 0:19:51] Adam: Straight up going to be real with you, Jim.
[0:19:51 – 0:19:54] Adam: I don’t have one, and it’s very embarrassing.
[0:19:54 – 0:19:55] Adam: It’s becoming very obvious.
[0:19:55 – 0:19:55] Adam: Yes.
[0:19:57 – 0:19:58] Adam: So I’m going to pivot.
[0:19:58 – 0:20:03] Adam: I’ll go with my upset of the week will be the four seed.
[0:20:03 – 0:20:05] Adam: I’ll take a different four seed small bird.
[0:20:05 – 0:20:08] Adam: I’m going to go with the four seed chickadees over the ospreys.
[0:20:08 – 0:20:10] ErikTSN: Two number ones going down.
[0:20:10 – 0:20:15] Adam: I don’t feel like enough people are appreciating the osprey and their ability to scoop the fish.
[0:20:16 – 0:20:17] Adam: And I…
[0:20:17 – 0:20:33] Adam: also really love the chickadee as a year-round resident and they’re just charming as hell and i love them dearly so i’m gonna i had a backup plan uh i thought maybe you were gonna go the way you did and so i’m gonna go with my upset pick as the four-seed chickadee down there and add a coke and
[0:20:33 – 0:20:35] ErikTSN: That’s just your upset?
[0:20:35 – 0:20:37] Adam: That’s my upset of the week.
[0:20:37 – 0:20:38] ErikTSN: Who are you locking in?
[0:20:38 – 0:20:49] Adam: I got another four seed as my lock, and I’m going with the great horned owl over the wood duck over there in Remix as my chunk, chunk, chunk, chunk lock of the week.
[0:20:50 – 0:20:50] ErikTSN: Double chunk.
[0:20:50 – 0:20:51] ErikTSN: That’s a good lock.
[0:20:51 – 0:20:52] ErikTSN: Boom, boom.
[0:20:53 – 0:20:54] Adam: Let’s mark them.
[0:20:54 – 0:20:54] Adam: Yeah.
[0:20:55 – 0:20:55] Adam: Oh, my God.
[0:20:55 – 0:20:56] Adam: I’m drawing it in.
[0:20:58 – 0:21:00] Adam: He’s putting a little lock in there by the great horned owl.
[0:21:01 – 0:21:02] Adam: What should be the upset?
[0:21:03 – 0:21:05] Adam: I’m going to put a little lock in by the hummingbird.
[0:21:07 – 0:21:08] Adam: And I don’t know what the upset should be.
[0:21:08 – 0:21:12] Adam: Maybe somebody doing like the…
[0:21:12 – 0:21:13] ErikTSN: The weights of justice lady?
[0:21:14 – 0:21:15] ErikTSN: Get to work on drawing that.
[0:21:15 – 0:21:21] ErikTSN: I need a real hyper-realistic drawing of like the sheet of shame hanging off of her.
[0:21:21 – 0:21:23] Adam: We’ll just put a little bird wearing a crown.
[0:21:23 – 0:21:24] Adam: Yeah.
[0:21:24 – 0:21:25] Adam: He’s the upset king.
[0:21:25 – 0:21:26] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:21:26 – 0:21:29] ErikTSN: That’s exactly what that looks like.
[0:21:31 – 0:21:33] Adam: What kind of bird looks like that?
[0:21:33 – 0:21:34] ErikTSN: What kind of bird are you?
[0:21:34 – 0:21:35] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:21:35 – 0:21:36] Adam: All right.
[0:21:36 – 0:21:37] Adam: So we’ve got them all marked up here.
[0:21:37 – 0:21:42] ErikTSN: And, yeah, we’re feeling good and looking good.
[0:21:42 – 0:21:42] ErikTSN: This is nice.
[0:21:43 – 0:21:44] ErikTSN: We’ve done real good work here.
[0:21:45 – 0:21:52] Adam: I got to say, I don’t know, this beer is pretty smoky, but it is maybe growing on me or I’m just that thirsty, Jim.
[0:21:52 – 0:21:54] ErikTSN: It’s just worn down your taste buds now.
[0:21:54 – 0:21:55] ErikTSN: You don’t taste the smoke anymore.
[0:21:55 – 0:21:56] Adam: This guy will drink anything.
[0:21:57 – 0:21:58] ErikTSN: This guy will drink anything.
[0:21:58 – 0:22:00] ErikTSN: I was working hard on the yard, baby.
[0:22:00 – 0:22:09] ErikTSN: 25% peanut butter cup melted blizzard porter right down the gullet.
[0:22:09 – 0:22:11] ErikTSN: Tasty ammo.
[0:22:11 – 0:22:14] ErikTSN: Tasty ammo.
[0:22:14 – 0:22:14] ErikTSN: All right.
[0:22:16 – 0:22:24] ErikTSN: After this week of voting, you’ve got, again, just like last week, a short week for the finals.
[0:22:26 – 0:22:32] ErikTSN: Which will look like the tournament has ended, but then I will go in on Wednesday and create the final.
[0:22:33 – 0:22:34] Adam: The final finals.
[0:22:35 – 0:22:36] Adam: The one matchup.
[0:22:36 – 0:22:37] ErikTSN: The champion’s nest.
[0:22:37 – 0:22:46] ErikTSN: The feather that will become the quill that we write all of the correspondence back to the correspondence we have received over the last 10 years.
[0:22:46 – 0:22:51] Adam: Pretty excited for this podcast to finally get its own quill after all these years.
[0:22:51 – 0:22:54] ErikTSN: The main reason we haven’t been responding to the letters of…
[0:22:56 – 0:22:57] ErikTSN: Commendation.
[0:22:58 – 0:23:00] ErikTSN: We just keep putting them in the library of Tumble Home.
[0:23:01 – 0:23:01] ErikTSN: Shit’s getting thick.
[0:23:02 – 0:23:04] ErikTSN: The filing cabinet is overflowing at this point.
[0:23:05 – 0:23:05] ErikTSN: It’s bulging.
[0:23:06 – 0:23:07] ErikTSN: Yeah.
[0:23:07 – 0:23:08] ErikTSN: We gotta start responding to some of these.
[0:23:08 – 0:23:10] ErikTSN: We gotta get back at it like Ringo.
[0:23:10 – 0:23:14] ErikTSN: I’m gonna respond to all of the fan mail that comes our way.
[0:23:14 – 0:23:15] ErikTSN: From now on, we will.
[0:23:16 – 0:23:19] ErikTSN: We just never had a quill, but that’s what this tournament is here to decide.
[0:23:20 – 0:23:31] ErikTSN: And without further, I don’t know, last week I think we were chatting well into the close to an hour mark before we even got to some results.
[0:23:31 – 0:23:33] ErikTSN: I don’t know if that was appreciated or not.
[0:23:33 – 0:23:34] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:23:34 – 0:23:37] Adam: People probably think it’s crazy, but I enjoyed it.
[0:23:37 – 0:23:41] ErikTSN: Well, they probably turned it up to four times speed just to get to the results.
[0:23:41 – 0:23:45] Adam: No, this week we’re here for the .5 crowd this week.
[0:23:45 – 0:23:46] ErikTSN: Yeah, we’re here for the slow crowd.
[0:23:47 – 0:23:48] ErikTSN: Wait, what did they say?
[0:23:48 – 0:23:50] ErikTSN: I got to go back and turn it down to .5.
[0:23:50 – 0:23:55] Adam: I think I’m going to mix up some pancake batter and then continue hitting play.
[0:23:58 – 0:23:59] Adam: Start in the west again?
[0:24:00 – 0:24:01] ErikTSN: Always start in the west.
[0:24:01 – 0:24:04] ErikTSN: Always start in the west.
[0:24:04 – 0:24:05] ErikTSN: Try and figure out.
[0:24:07 – 0:24:12] ErikTSN: Try and find a way to do this without getting spoiled, but I don’t know if it’s going to be possible.
[0:24:12 – 0:24:14] ErikTSN: Just the way that this screen scrolls.
[0:24:14 – 0:24:15] Adam: Right, right.
[0:24:15 – 0:24:16] Adam: So, yeah.
[0:24:17 – 0:24:24] ErikTSN: It’s not a perfect system, but, you know, it is the system we have created, so we only have ourselves to blame.
[0:24:25 – 0:24:26] ErikTSN: It’s, of course…
[0:24:27 – 0:24:27] ErikTSN: I don’t know.
[0:24:27 – 0:24:28] ErikTSN: I’ll blame Stauber.
[0:24:29 – 0:24:29] ErikTSN: Sure.
[0:24:30 – 0:24:33] ErikTSN: Anything that ever comes up that’s bad, blame Stauber.
[0:24:34 – 0:24:35] ErikTSN: I’m not against that.
[0:24:35 – 0:24:36] Adam: He’s actually…
[0:24:37 – 0:24:42] Adam: I heard on Facebook that Stauber is the one that started the wildfire because he wanted to burn down Betty’s Pies.
[0:24:44 – 0:24:44] Adam: He’s a sicko.
[0:24:44 – 0:24:46] ErikTSN: Well, I guess that does give me a little bit of…
[0:24:47 – 0:24:49] Adam: It makes me like him a little bit, actually.
[0:24:49 – 0:24:52] ErikTSN: The one thing I like about him is he tried burning down a restaurant.
[0:24:55 – 0:24:59] Adam: Yeah, it also burned down that orphanage, though, unfortunately.
[0:25:01 – 0:25:04] Adam: But it didn’t really hurt his popularity at all.
[0:25:04 – 0:25:07] ErikTSN: You win some, you lose some.
[0:25:07 – 0:25:10] Adam: Orphanages are drawing the tax base.
[0:25:10 – 0:25:10] Adam: Yeah.
[0:25:12 – 0:25:17] ErikTSN: Well, maybe I just do the whole west side, because there’s no way to avoid seeing what’s going to happen.
[0:25:17 – 0:25:17] Adam: Oh, okay, yeah, let’s do it.
[0:25:17 – 0:25:19] Adam: Yeah, you do the whole west side.
[0:25:19 – 0:25:25] ErikTSN: And then you do the east, and then you will kind of spoil yourself, but that’s just up to you.
[0:25:25 – 0:25:26] ErikTSN: That’s fine, but I won’t spoil you.
[0:25:27 – 0:25:27] Adam: Exactly.
[0:25:27 – 0:25:28] Adam: All right.
[0:25:28 – 0:25:30] Adam: So if we do this the way we’ve done it in the past…
[0:25:32 – 0:25:35] Adam: Turn that avocado oil up all the way.
[0:25:35 – 0:25:36] Adam: Avocado oil.
[0:25:36 – 0:25:37] Adam: Let’s fry these birds.
[0:25:38 – 0:25:40] ErikTSN: We’re frying birds now?
[0:25:41 – 0:25:43] Adam: Loon pancetta.
[0:25:43 – 0:25:47] ErikTSN: I don’t even know why we’re doing this, really, honestly.
[0:25:48 – 0:25:50] ErikTSN: Let’s just crown the loons at this point.
[0:25:50 – 0:25:51] ErikTSN: They beat the great blue herons.
[0:25:51 – 0:25:52] ErikTSN: Wasn’t even close.
[0:25:52 – 0:25:53] ErikTSN: 62 to 15.
[0:25:54 – 0:25:54] ErikTSN: Why?
[0:25:54 – 0:25:55] ErikTSN: What are we doing?
[0:25:56 – 0:26:00] ErikTSN: You guys just want to see your precious loons?
[0:26:00 – 0:26:01] Adam: This pen don’t work at all.
[0:26:01 – 0:26:03] ErikTSN: Win another tournament.
[0:26:04 – 0:26:05] ErikTSN: Oh, boy.
[0:26:05 – 0:26:08] ErikTSN: It is so exciting.
[0:26:09 – 0:26:10] Adam: The loons.
[0:26:10 – 0:26:10] Adam: 15?
[0:26:10 – 0:26:11] Adam: 62.
[0:26:11 – 0:26:12] Adam: 62 to 15.
[0:26:12 – 0:26:13] Adam: To 15, yeah.
[0:26:13 – 0:26:14] ErikTSN: I’m anti-loon at this point.
[0:26:14 – 0:26:17] ErikTSN: I love them, but I’ve had enough of them.
[0:26:17 – 0:26:21] Adam: Jim, the more you complain about them, the more the voters are going to vote for them, though.
[0:26:21 – 0:26:24] Adam: Send me some more peanut butter cup beers, and we’ll see what happens.
[0:26:25 – 0:26:26] Adam: All right, Birch Lake.
[0:26:27 – 0:26:28] Adam: The final at Birch Lake is set.
[0:26:29 – 0:26:30] Adam: No, it’s over.
[0:26:30 – 0:26:32] ErikTSN: Oh, yeah, sorry.
[0:26:32 – 0:26:34] Adam: It’s set, and it’s over.
[0:26:34 – 0:26:37] Adam: The Common Loon is on to the Elite Eight.
[0:26:37 – 0:26:38] ErikTSN: I did not describe that.
[0:26:38 – 0:26:42] ErikTSN: We were the last matchup at Birch Lake.
[0:26:42 – 0:26:43] ErikTSN: I don’t know.
[0:26:43 – 0:26:44] ErikTSN: Where is the final four?
[0:26:45 – 0:26:47] Adam: We haven’t figured that one out yet.
[0:26:47 – 0:26:48] Adam: We’ll have to get through.
[0:26:48 – 0:26:51] ErikTSN: Just right in our backyards.
[0:26:52 – 0:26:56] Adam: Once we get through the voting for these rounds, then we’ll have to take a pause.
[0:26:57 – 0:27:09] Adam: and go listen to the peepers, and then the white smoke will come out of the swamp, and then we’ll be revealed as to the location of the Final Four and where the real champion’s nest has been nestled.
[0:27:09 – 0:27:12] ErikTSN: Yes, as we all know, birds are Catholic.
[0:27:13 – 0:27:20] ErikTSN: Moving down to American Point.
[0:27:22 – 0:27:22] ErikTSN: Oh, no.
[0:27:22 – 0:27:23] Adam: The flyway.
[0:27:25 – 0:27:28] ErikTSN: One more small bird goes down.
[0:27:28 – 0:27:31] ErikTSN: The pileated woodpeckers are through.
[0:27:31 – 0:27:33] ErikTSN: 49 to 27.
[0:27:33 – 0:27:35] ErikTSN: The perulas, goodbye.
[0:27:35 – 0:27:36] ErikTSN: 49 to 27?
[0:27:36 – 0:27:37] Adam: We hardly knew.
[0:27:41 – 0:28:02] Adam: yee uh that’s too bad you know i love you know i do love the perula yeah it’s great and uh there’s not another bird out there like them and there also is not another bird out there like that it is true pecker though this is a real i this is one of those matchups i said it last week where i’m happy for either of these teams to win
[0:28:03 – 0:28:03] Adam: It’s like Buffalo.
[0:28:03 – 0:28:07] Adam: This is the Buffalo versus the Habs matchup here.
[0:28:07 – 0:28:13] Adam: I wanted the Perula as the Habs and the Pelated as the Sabres.
[0:28:14 – 0:28:16] Adam: And in this case, Buffalo pulled it out.
[0:28:16 – 0:28:20] Adam: But I don’t know what’s going on in the real game right now.
[0:28:20 – 0:28:23] Adam: It was 3-3 when we started recording, and I don’t have the score in front of me.
[0:28:23 – 0:28:24] ErikTSN: 3-3 after one?
[0:28:26 – 0:28:55] Adam: crazy i know uh 27 votes only for the perula though and that is i believe the end of the warbler conference oh no the celebrated warbler conference once again fails to produce once again the strongest conference top to bottom and my favorite conference uh it’s my home conference well see you gotta know they’re not big enough people need a big bird in their life because if it’s not big and in the water how do i know it exists
[0:28:56 – 0:29:05] Adam: Well, Jim, I one time pileated Woodpecker to a backflip off of a side of a tree and land it, and that was pretty cool.
[0:29:08 – 0:29:18] Adam: I would go ahead and say that I feel that the Pileated Woodpecker has a better chance against the Common Loon here in the Northwest Regional Final.
[0:29:19 – 0:29:22] Adam: We will find out here in 32 minutes.
[0:29:23 – 0:29:27] Adam: Just wait 32 minutes.
[0:29:27 – 0:29:31] Adam: I wanted the Perula to win, but I don’t feel like the Perula had any chance against the Loon.
[0:29:33 – 0:29:35] Adam: The Pileated Woodpecker certainly does.
[0:29:36 – 0:29:36] ErikTSN: Sure.
[0:29:37 – 0:29:38] ErikTSN: We’ll find out next round.
[0:29:39 – 0:29:39] Adam: Yeah, we will.
[0:29:39 – 0:29:40] Adam: We sure will.
[0:29:41 – 0:29:49] Adam: Coming up in the remix here, we got the Wood Duck versus the Great Horned Owl in my lock of the week here in the remix final.
[0:29:50 – 0:29:50] ErikTSN: Lock it in.
[0:29:50 – 0:29:53] ErikTSN: Your lock is locked.
[0:29:54 – 0:29:55] ErikTSN: Great horned owls move on.
[0:29:55 – 0:29:56] ErikTSN: Chunk, chunk.
[0:29:56 – 0:29:57] ErikTSN: Wood ducks.
[0:29:58 – 0:30:04] ErikTSN: The last of the, well, it’s not the last of them, but it’s the last of the biggest of the red eyes.
[0:30:04 – 0:30:05] ErikTSN: Oh, no.
[0:30:05 – 0:30:08] ErikTSN: They got the biggest red eye, and it’s gone.
[0:30:09 – 0:30:11] ErikTSN: 46 to the great horned owls.
[0:30:11 – 0:30:13] ErikTSN: 32 to the wood ducks.
[0:30:13 – 0:30:13] ErikTSN: Somewhat close.
[0:30:15 – 0:30:17] ErikTSN: Not nearly as close as some of the matchups we had last week.
[0:30:20 – 0:30:33] Adam: That’s right, the Great Horned Owl beat the Sora in round one, 86-12, then took out the Woodcock in round two, 46-38, and then once again got 40.
[0:30:33 – 0:30:37] Adam: We got a lot of loyal Great Horned Owl voters here.
[0:30:37 – 0:30:41] Adam: 46 votes again to just 32 for the Wood Duck.
[0:30:43 – 0:30:43] Adam: So…
[0:30:45 – 0:31:06] Adam: pretty strong there i felt like i was pretty assured that the great horned owl was a great lock of the week pick and um there are still two owls left yes and uh the saw wet owl is still out there on the east so we still could have an owl on owl final in the champions nest potential
[0:31:07 – 0:31:08] Adam: Potentially still alive.
[0:31:09 – 0:31:13] Adam: The wood duck is out, though, and I think other than the mallard, it was the last of the duck.
[0:31:16 – 0:31:20] Adam: And there’s only one more red-eye left, and that is the one-seed common loon up there.
[0:31:20 – 0:31:21] ErikTSN: Yeah.
[0:31:22 – 0:31:28] ErikTSN: The only other owl that… Not the only other owl, but one of the owls that is not in this next round, still…
[0:31:30 – 0:31:41] ErikTSN: Still stomping around on their night branch in disgust over the decision of the tournament directors.
[0:31:41 – 0:31:46] ErikTSN: The rough grouse barred owl matchup that went down in a tie last week.
[0:31:47 – 0:31:51] ErikTSN: That for some reason just went to the rough grouse.
[0:31:51 – 0:31:53] ErikTSN: The seven over the two.
[0:31:53 – 0:31:54] ErikTSN: Not really sure.
[0:31:54 – 0:31:54] ErikTSN: Yeah.
[0:31:55 – 0:31:56] ErikTSN: Yeah.
[0:31:57 – 0:32:04] ErikTSN: That’s how it went down, and they’re playing the games, so nobody’s stopping for your feelings.
[0:32:04 – 0:32:10] ErikTSN: But they are into the Sweet 16, the Rough Grouse, that is, and going against the Merlins.
[0:32:12 – 0:32:13] ErikTSN: And they will continue to move on.
[0:32:14 – 0:32:16] ErikTSN: The power is on the side of the Grouse.
[0:32:17 – 0:32:18] ErikTSN: They got the magic going.
[0:32:18 – 0:32:18] ErikTSN: 52-26.
[0:32:21 – 0:32:23] Adam: 52-26, the Merlins are going down.
[0:32:23 – 0:32:24] Adam: That is an upset.
[0:32:25 – 0:32:27] Adam: And another seven seed is through.
[0:32:27 – 0:32:38] ErikTSN: It’s going to be Great Horned Owl versus Roughed Grouse and Pileated Woodpeckers versus the Common Loons.
[0:32:41 – 0:32:46] Adam: Jim, I got to say that my least favorite character on Friends was definitely Ruffed Gross.
[0:32:46 – 0:32:47] Adam: Ruffed Gross?
[0:32:47 – 0:32:48] Adam: Yeah.
[0:32:48 – 0:32:51] Adam: I didn’t like him at all, especially the way he treated that monkey.
[0:32:52 – 0:32:52] ErikTSN: Marcel.
[0:32:53 – 0:32:56] Adam: Poor Marcel.
[0:32:56 – 0:32:58] Adam: The Ruffed Gross is through.
[0:32:59 – 0:33:02] Adam: Let’s watch the journey of the Ruffed Gross here.
[0:33:02 – 0:33:04] Adam: Seven seed Ruffed Gross.
[0:33:04 – 0:33:08] Adam: Went 80-18 over the black-throated blue warbler in round one.
[0:33:08 – 0:33:17] Adam: And then, of course, in the infamous tie at North Fowl Lake, took out the barred owl in a tie game.
[0:33:17 – 0:33:22] ErikTSN: If it’s Loon and Grouse in the final four in the West, I might just quit the whole podcast.
[0:33:22 – 0:33:24] Adam: Why do you have to be so pessimistic, Jim?
[0:33:25 – 0:33:26] ErikTSN: They’re both beautiful birds.
[0:33:26 – 0:33:30] ErikTSN: One won on a sham tie, and the other one’s just skating their way in.
[0:33:30 – 0:33:31] Adam: That’s just the rules.
[0:33:32 – 0:33:33] Adam: I’m a state bird.
[0:33:34 – 0:33:36] Adam: Everybody likes me.
[0:33:36 – 0:33:37] ErikTSN: I’ve never done anything wrong.
[0:33:38 – 0:33:38] ErikTSN: Never.
[0:33:38 – 0:33:41] ErikTSN: Maybe watch one for like a couple hours and see what they actually do.
[0:33:41 – 0:33:42] ErikTSN: They’re horrible creatures.
[0:33:44 – 0:33:46] Adam: Yeah, they pick at their nails.
[0:33:46 – 0:33:48] ErikTSN: Yeah, they peck out the eyes of their young.
[0:33:48 – 0:33:51] Adam: They drive in the left lane real slow sometimes.
[0:33:51 – 0:33:52] ErikTSN: Yeah, they voted for Stauber.
[0:33:56 – 0:33:58] Adam: How dare you?
[0:33:58 – 0:34:00] Adam: Yeah, that’s a full bald-faced lie.
[0:34:00 – 0:34:01] ErikTSN: Oh, no.
[0:34:01 – 0:34:02] ErikTSN: What have you done, Jim?
[0:34:02 – 0:34:04] Adam: The loons did not vote for Stauber.
[0:34:04 – 0:34:08] Adam: I don’t think any of the birds left in this tournament would have voted for Stauber.
[0:34:08 – 0:34:10] ErikTSN: No, the turkey vultures did.
[0:34:10 – 0:34:12] Adam: Except for maybe the ospreys.
[0:34:12 – 0:34:13] Adam: Just give me a 3-2-1.
[0:34:13 – 0:34:13] Adam: 3-2-1.
[0:34:13 – 0:34:13] Adam: Go.
[0:34:17 – 0:34:20] Adam: Yeah, I mean, the Ospreys are definitely white supremacists.
[0:34:20 – 0:34:28] Adam: If anybody in this tournament is voting Stauber and sucking the ass out of the Staubers, that’s the Osprey for sure.
[0:34:28 – 0:34:30] Adam: They want things just the way they are.
[0:34:30 – 0:34:38] Adam: They want to see any progress or change, and any progress or change that is enacted, they will fight tooth and nail to try and claw it back.
[0:34:39 – 0:34:40] Adam: Like a fish out of the lake.
[0:34:40 – 0:34:42] ErikTSN: That’s a number one seed you’re talking about there, boy.
[0:34:42 – 0:34:42] ErikTSN: Yeah.
[0:34:43 – 0:34:44] Adam: Yeah, I know.
[0:34:44 – 0:34:46] Adam: And I don’t know.
[0:34:46 – 0:34:48] Adam: I think they paid somebody to get the one seed.
[0:34:48 – 0:34:49] Adam: That’s what I’m going to say.
[0:34:49 – 0:34:50] ErikTSN: Wow.
[0:34:50 – 0:34:50] Adam: Yeah.
[0:34:50 – 0:34:50] Adam: Wow.
[0:34:51 – 0:34:52] Adam: It’s all about money, Jim.
[0:34:52 – 0:35:05] ErikTSN: You know, when you were yelling at me for claiming disparaging remarks about the loons, you just suggested that the Ospreys have been taking money.
[0:35:06 – 0:35:10] Adam: This is some breaking reporting here on Tumble Home Sports Network.
[0:35:11 – 0:35:14] ErikTSN: Okay, well, we’re moving over to the east.
[0:35:15 – 0:35:17] Adam: Oh, I thought we were going to finish out the west.
[0:35:17 – 0:35:18] ErikTSN: Oh, didn’t we?
[0:35:18 – 0:35:19] Adam: What do you mean?
[0:35:19 – 0:35:23] Adam: I thought we were going to finish out the whole west so I wouldn’t have to look at the west.
[0:35:23 – 0:35:24] ErikTSN: Well, you don’t have to.
[0:35:24 – 0:35:25] ErikTSN: I’ve got it switched over.
[0:35:25 – 0:35:27] Adam: All right, it’s all good then.
[0:35:27 – 0:35:27] Adam: Yeah, yeah.
[0:35:27 – 0:35:28] Adam: All right, bring it over.
[0:35:28 – 0:35:30] ErikTSN: All you got to do is click over one tab.
[0:35:35 – 0:35:38] Adam: To the right there, and we can start.
[0:35:38 – 0:35:40] Adam: All right, I got you.
[0:35:41 – 0:35:42] Adam: All right, all right.
[0:35:42 – 0:35:50] Adam: We’re moving on over to the east section of the bracket here for the Sweet 16 boating.
[0:35:50 – 0:35:54] Adam: Moving on our way up to the Zach’s Zimbog.
[0:35:54 – 0:35:56] Adam: Lock and upset of the week.
[0:35:56 – 0:36:00] Adam: This is a double up lock and upset of the week for Jim.
[0:36:02 – 0:36:05] Adam: on the ruby-throated hummingbirds, which just arrived.
[0:36:06 – 0:36:10] Adam: Somehow they were able to make it all the way to the Sweet 16 without even being here physically.
[0:36:10 – 0:36:11] Adam: Yeah, well.
[0:36:11 – 0:36:27] Adam: They were here in a different realm, a different kind of existence, that they were able to beat up on the common merganser in round two and, of course, on the cutest matchup of the tournament, beating up on the downy woodpecker in round one.
[0:36:27 – 0:36:28] ErikTSN: That was a cute matchup.
[0:36:29 – 0:36:34] Adam: And they’re going up against the Mallard, which got by the Blue Jay in round two.
[0:36:34 – 0:36:40] Adam: And then, of course, absolutely humiliated the Yellow-Bellied Sapsuckers in round one.
[0:36:41 – 0:36:50] Adam: And this is your final in the Zach’s Zim Bog and Jim’s Lock of the Week and Upset of the Week.
[0:36:50 – 0:36:51] Adam: This is exciting.
[0:36:51 – 0:36:54] Adam: And…
[0:36:56 – 0:37:00] Adam: They’ve done it, and it wasn’t even close, Jim.
[0:37:00 – 0:37:01] ErikTSN: My lock?
[0:37:01 – 0:37:01] ErikTSN: Jim!
[0:37:01 – 0:37:02] ErikTSN: Was it a true lock?
[0:37:03 – 0:37:04] Adam: Hey, lock it in.
[0:37:04 – 0:37:04] Adam: Wow.
[0:37:04 – 0:37:10] ErikTSN: I hope you all made a lot of money on Cash Zimbog or whatever the name of the betting app is.
[0:37:11 – 0:37:14] Adam: Yeah, cashinbarg.calshi.
[0:37:15 – 0:37:25] Adam: Ruby Throated Hummingbird smashing the Mallards, and Coach Gordy is in shambles, and I just saw him take off his little sombrero and start crying into it.
[0:37:25 – 0:37:27] ErikTSN: Sombrero is now flat.
[0:37:27 – 0:37:29] Adam: It’s covered in tears of a duck.
[0:37:29 – 0:37:32] ErikTSN: Duck tears and flat.
[0:37:32 – 0:37:35] Adam: 17 votes for the Mallards, and 54 votes for the…
[0:37:38 – 0:37:41] Adam: R-T-H. R-T-H is through.
[0:37:41 – 0:37:43] Adam: Oh, my gosh.
[0:37:43 – 0:37:44] Adam: They are locked them in good.
[0:37:44 – 0:37:47] Adam: You chunked them all the way in.
[0:37:48 – 0:37:53] Adam: One win away from the final four for those little net peckers.
[0:37:53 – 0:37:54] Adam: Unbelievable.
[0:37:55 – 0:38:02] Adam: I might up it to a two-to-one ratio, and I’m going to put a couple different kinds of food coloring into that sugar water for those little guys.
[0:38:02 – 0:38:02] Adam: Oh, my.
[0:38:02 – 0:38:03] Adam: They flew a long way.
[0:38:03 – 0:38:03] Adam: Extra blue.
[0:38:03 – 0:38:04] ErikTSN: Extra blue.
[0:38:04 – 0:38:13] Adam: I’m just going to pour Gatorade and jolt into the mixture for these little ruby-throated hummingbirds.
[0:38:14 – 0:38:17] ErikTSN: Cans of jolt laying around from the 90s you haven’t cracked into yet.
[0:38:17 – 0:38:18] ErikTSN: The smallest is so tiny.
[0:38:18 – 0:38:19] ErikTSN: They don’t need any jolt.
[0:38:20 – 0:38:21] ErikTSN: You got to cool them down.
[0:38:21 – 0:38:24] Adam: They need pureed carrots, I think, is what they want.
[0:38:24 – 0:38:24] Adam: Yeah.
[0:38:26 – 0:38:32] Adam: They will face the winner of this next matchup here at the Lost 40.
[0:38:33 – 0:38:39] Adam: Amongst the big trees, it’s the number three seed Kingfisher, which everybody is fond of.
[0:38:39 – 0:38:39] ErikTSN: I am.
[0:38:40 – 0:38:45] Adam: And they’re going up against the other remaining owl, the Saw-Wet Owl.
[0:38:46 – 0:38:47] ErikTSN: The two seed.
[0:38:47 – 0:38:50] ErikTSN: I’m fine with them as well, but I’m definitely cheering for the Kingfishers.
[0:38:50 – 0:38:51] Adam: I like both these teams.
[0:38:52 – 0:38:55] Adam: I would love to see a Saw-Wet Owl versus Hummingbird final.
[0:38:56 – 0:38:58] Adam: Nobody’s tiny enough to even go against the hummingbirds, though.
[0:39:00 – 0:39:07] Adam: The Kingfishers got past the Scarlet Tanagers in round two and then also humiliated the American Red Start in round one.
[0:39:07 – 0:39:08] Adam: Humiliation.
[0:39:08 – 0:39:09] Adam: We all remember that one.
[0:39:09 – 0:39:10] Adam: That was really bad.
[0:39:10 – 0:39:11] Adam: Red Start, humiliation.
[0:39:11 – 0:39:20] Adam: Red Start didn’t even get one rebound in that entire game because they’re so small and their wings, they’re so short.
[0:39:20 – 0:39:22] ErikTSN: Which came first, the baseball team or the bird?
[0:39:23 – 0:39:25] ErikTSN: Because somebody texted me the other day.
[0:39:25 – 0:39:27] ErikTSN: They were like, there’s a Baltimore Oriole in my yard.
[0:39:27 – 0:39:29] ErikTSN: And I was like, oh, wait.
[0:39:30 – 0:39:33] ErikTSN: Are they actually called Baltimore Orioles?
[0:39:33 – 0:39:37] Adam: Wait, are you saying that they named the bird after a baseball team is what you’re claiming?
[0:39:37 – 0:39:43] ErikTSN: Is there any other bird in the world that has a professional sports team named after them?
[0:39:43 – 0:39:43] ErikTSN: Blue Jays?
[0:39:44 – 0:39:48] ErikTSN: Well, it’s not the Toronto Blue Jay.
[0:39:48 – 0:39:49] Adam: Oh, right.
[0:39:49 – 0:39:50] ErikTSN: You know what I’m saying?
[0:39:50 – 0:39:55] ErikTSN: Their scientific name, not scientific, but their traditional name.
[0:39:55 – 0:39:59] ErikTSN: Because when I heard that, I was like, wait, is it?
[0:39:59 – 0:40:03] ErikTSN: Because I was always just like, I don’t know, Oriole, American Oriole, North American.
[0:40:03 – 0:40:06] ErikTSN: I’d never been like, oh, yeah, for sure.
[0:40:06 – 0:40:09] ErikTSN: Like, oh, that’s a Baltimore Oriole standing in the tree there.
[0:40:09 – 0:40:11] ErikTSN: It’s Miguel whatever.
[0:40:12 – 0:40:16] ErikTSN: Name your most favorite Baltimore Oriole standing in the tree over there.
[0:40:16 – 0:40:18] Adam: I don’t know if that’s true.
[0:40:18 – 0:40:20] ErikTSN: Cal Ripon Jr. over there in the tree.
[0:40:21 – 0:40:22] Adam: But, like, what came first?
[0:40:22 – 0:40:25] Adam: Because that is actually the name of the bird.
[0:40:26 – 0:40:28] ErikTSN: The Baltimore Oriole is the name of the bird.
[0:40:28 – 0:40:29] Adam: Is it really?
[0:40:29 – 0:40:31] ErikTSN: And it is the name of the baseball team.
[0:40:31 – 0:40:31] Adam: Wow.
[0:40:32 – 0:40:32] Adam: Of course.
[0:40:33 – 0:40:42] Adam: The only other one I can think of is the Swainsons Thrush, which is named after, of course, the Swainsons Ontario, the capital of Ontario.
[0:40:42 – 0:40:43] Adam: Swainsons?
[0:40:43 – 0:40:44] Adam: Swainsons.
[0:40:44 – 0:40:45] Adam: It’s just north of Wawa.
[0:40:45 – 0:40:45] ErikTSN: Yeah.
[0:40:46 – 0:40:58] ErikTSN: It’d be like if you were just walking down the path next week or whatever, and you just were like, oh, look, it’s a St. Louis Cardinal.
[0:40:58 – 0:40:58] Adam: Yeah.
[0:40:59 – 0:41:00] Adam: Well.
[0:41:01 – 0:41:02] ErikTSN: Albert Pujols.
[0:41:06 – 0:41:07] Adam: Yeah, he’s going oppo.
[0:41:08 – 0:41:10] Adam: I think that’s the only bird he is going.
[0:41:10 – 0:41:11] Adam: He’s always going oppo.
[0:41:11 – 0:41:12] Adam: Such great.
[0:41:12 – 0:41:15] Adam: He’s got strength all over the batter box.
[0:41:15 – 0:41:17] ErikTSN: He’s still playing, too.
[0:41:17 – 0:41:17] Adam: Is he?
[0:41:18 – 0:41:19] Adam: I don’t think so.
[0:41:19 – 0:41:19] Adam: Yeah.
[0:41:19 – 0:41:21] ErikTSN: Him and Sammy Sosa.
[0:41:21 – 0:41:22] Adam: It’s the heydays.
[0:41:23 – 0:41:33] Adam: In the last 40 final here, wow, the Solid Owls were the ones who finally did take out the Loonlings last week.
[0:41:34 – 0:41:44] Adam: 50-38, they knocked down the poor baby Loonlings, and they were able to take out the dastardly Spring Peepers who snuck into the tournament as a
[0:41:44 – 0:42:08] Adam: 15 seed of all things and they’re making their voices well known no they’re outside the tumble shed and they’re still mad about that disappointed like you can’t even go outside and have a moment of pure we are ground bird yeah let us in let us back in we’re the tiniest of the bird we are ground bird they metamorphose into something though right they do in the next dimension they are actually flying
[0:42:10 – 0:42:17] Adam: The three-seed Kingfisher versus the two-seed Solid Owl in the Lost 40 finale amongst the big trees.
[0:42:19 – 0:42:22] Adam: And it’s the Kingfisher through.
[0:42:22 – 0:42:26] Adam: It is 46 to 25 over the Solid Owl.
[0:42:26 – 0:42:27] Adam: Kingfisher’s through.
[0:42:27 – 0:42:31] ErikTSN: Can it be Kingfishers, Hummingbirds?
[0:42:31 – 0:42:32] Adam: 46 to 25.
[0:42:32 – 0:42:35] Adam: And we have a three-seed Kingfisher through.
[0:42:37 – 0:42:42] Adam: versus the four-seed ruby-throated hummingbird.
[0:42:43 – 0:42:50] Adam: And we’re definitely going to get one of those teams into the final four here by the end of this show.
[0:42:50 – 0:42:51] ErikTSN: Oh, my God, Jim.
[0:42:51 – 0:42:52] Adam: RTH.
[0:42:54 – 0:42:57] Adam: All right, we’re finally moving it down to the Atacocan Municipal Prison and Dump.
[0:42:58 – 0:42:59] Adam: Open seven days a week.
[0:42:59 – 0:43:00] Adam: Until after this.
[0:43:00 – 0:43:04] Adam: And we do accept calci, and we do accept tap to pay.
[0:43:05 – 0:43:09] Adam: Now we just got a new terminal they can do tap to pay to put anybody in prison.
[0:43:09 – 0:43:10] ErikTSN: Calci cash.
[0:43:12 – 0:43:15] Adam: Yeah, you would think, what do you mean, to bail somebody out?
[0:43:15 – 0:43:20] Adam: No, if you pay us, we will arrest whoever you want here in Atacocan for at least for one night.
[0:43:21 – 0:43:24] ErikTSN: We will accept calci cash to arrest whoever you want.
[0:43:26 – 0:43:34] Adam: And I definitely would put all my Johnny Bucks into sending the Ospreys into the prison.
[0:43:34 – 0:43:35] ErikTSN: Well, it sounds like it.
[0:43:35 – 0:43:36] ErikTSN: You think they’re white supremacists.
[0:43:36 – 0:43:37] ErikTSN: Yeah, I’m so sick of these.
[0:43:37 – 0:43:44] Adam: I’m sick of these guys with their little weird little tattoos.
[0:43:44 – 0:43:46] ErikTSN: Mysterious numbers and symbols.
[0:43:46 – 0:43:55] Adam: Yeah, and their white cloaks that they wear over their heads while they’re ambushing their prey.
[0:43:57 – 0:44:03] Adam: It’s the one seed Osprey going up against the number four seed Chickadee, which is my upset of the week.
[0:44:04 – 0:44:05] Adam: So go Chickadees.
[0:44:05 – 0:44:06] Adam: Let’s go Chickadees.
[0:44:07 – 0:44:12] Adam: But they’re pretty tiny and it’s not going to…
[0:44:12 – 0:44:13] ErikTSN: It is going to happen.
[0:44:14 – 0:44:14] ErikTSN: Jim.
[0:44:14 – 0:44:14] ErikTSN: Oh, no.
[0:44:15 – 0:44:16] Adam: Oh, it’s over.
[0:44:16 – 0:44:21] Adam: The Ospreys are taking their fish and they’re flying back to wherever they came from.
[0:44:21 – 0:44:22] Adam: Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.
[0:44:22 – 0:44:23] ErikTSN: The hotbed of…
[0:44:26 – 0:44:27] ErikTSN: Where they belong.
[0:44:28 – 0:44:33] Adam: They’re going to gerrymander themselves back into a white supremacist kingdom in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.
[0:44:34 – 0:44:35] Adam: They’re out of here.
[0:44:36 – 0:44:40] Adam: The black-capped chickadees coming in hot.
[0:44:42 – 0:44:44] Adam: Black-capped chickadees matter, Jim.
[0:44:45 – 0:44:49] Adam: 45 votes to 27 votes over these dirty ospreys.
[0:44:50 – 0:44:51] Adam: What happened here tonight?
[0:44:52 – 0:44:53] Adam: Nobody knows.
[0:44:53 – 0:44:54] Adam: 45-27.
[0:44:54 – 0:44:59] ErikTSN: Wow, there’s only one number one seed left, and they’re going to win the tournament because everybody can’t get enough.
[0:44:59 – 0:45:01] Adam: You don’t know that, Jim.
[0:45:02 – 0:45:03] Adam: You don’t know that.
[0:45:03 – 0:45:04] Adam: Let’s have an open mind.
[0:45:06 – 0:45:14] Adam: Black-happed chickadees, the year-round resident, and the champions of the Atacocan Municipal Prison and Dump.
[0:45:14 – 0:45:18] Adam: Thank you for hosting our section of the tournament.
[0:45:18 – 0:45:19] Adam: You guys have been great.
[0:45:19 – 0:45:21] ErikTSN: And now they’re shut down for a year?
[0:45:21 – 0:45:25] Adam: And now they’re shut down again until next year when we put everybody in prison.
[0:45:25 – 0:45:29] Adam: The way they do it up there, anybody that’s got to serve a sentence, you do it in April.
[0:45:30 – 0:45:30] ErikTSN: Just in April.
[0:45:30 – 0:45:31] Adam: Nothing better to do anyways.
[0:45:31 – 0:45:32] Adam: Might as well go to prison.
[0:45:33 – 0:45:35] ErikTSN: A 20-year sentence, but it’s just 20 Aprils.
[0:45:37 – 0:45:38] Adam: It’s 20 Aprils.
[0:45:38 – 0:45:39] ErikTSN: In Atikokan, though.
[0:45:39 – 0:45:40] Adam: Well, that’s worth a year.
[0:45:40 – 0:45:42] Adam: That’s at least worth a year.
[0:45:44 – 0:45:45] Adam: You know, debatable.
[0:45:46 – 0:46:03] Adam: Our final match up here in the Sweet 16 is happening at the beautiful Wawiak River, home to various ferns and mysterious plants with medicinal purposes that are not really known other than to the people who need to know.
[0:46:05 – 0:46:09] ErikTSN: Only according to the people who shut it down for future campers.
[0:46:09 – 0:46:16] Adam: We got the number three seed Ravens going up against the number two seed White Throated Sparrows.
[0:46:16 – 0:46:16] Adam: Oh, yes.
[0:46:17 – 0:46:17] Adam: They’ve been singing.
[0:46:18 – 0:46:23] Adam: If anybody out here has been singing harder than the Spring Peepers this week, it has been the White Throated Sparrows.
[0:46:24 – 0:46:32] Adam: These guys, they all took their little shirts off and were doing a European-style soccer cheer all week.
[0:46:33 – 0:46:58] Adam: uh chanting they’re chanting yeah and dancing and singing the white-throated sparrows of course took out the cedar wax wings in round two and i absolutely dominated the long-eared owl in round one the ravens knocked down the peregrine falcons they slowed them guys down real good and got them into a
[0:46:59 – 0:47:03] Adam: a battle of strength, which the Falcons were not suited for in round two.
[0:47:04 – 0:47:12] Adam: And in round one, took out, and honestly, it wasn’t even fair, and they really embarrassed the little 14-seed pine sisk.
[0:47:12 – 0:47:13] ErikTSN: Dismantled.
[0:47:13 – 0:47:22] Adam: We got the three-seed Ravens going up here against the two-seed white-throated sparrows for a chance at history to face the black-capped chickadee.
[0:47:24 – 0:47:27] ErikTSN: And the white-throated sparrow is through.
[0:47:27 – 0:47:27] Adam: Woo!
[0:47:28 – 0:47:30] ErikTSN: The white-throated sparrow is through.
[0:47:30 – 0:47:30] ErikTSN: Wow.
[0:47:31 – 0:47:36] ErikTSN: No jewel thieves in the final four this year.
[0:47:37 – 0:47:38] Adam: So we got two small birds over here.
[0:47:39 – 0:47:41] Adam: We have a white-throated sparrow going up against the chickadee.
[0:47:41 – 0:47:43] Adam: It’s the two-seed versus the four-seed.
[0:47:44 – 0:47:46] ErikTSN: And the hummingbird up top.
[0:47:46 – 0:47:47] Adam: Yeah, and the kingfisher.
[0:47:47 – 0:47:49] Adam: None of these birds are huge over here.
[0:47:49 – 0:47:54] Adam: The kingfisher is the biggest bird possible in this side of the whole bracket for the final four.
[0:47:54 – 0:47:56] ErikTSN: That’s a smallish bird.
[0:47:56 – 0:48:01] Adam: That’s a small bird east side kind of deal going on here, Jim, and I love it a lot.
[0:48:01 – 0:48:01] ErikTSN: I do.
[0:48:02 – 0:48:04] ErikTSN: I’m a fan of the east side of this bracket.
[0:48:05 – 0:48:09] Adam: All right, so how do I get you back to the west side now without you seeing this?
[0:48:10 – 0:48:10] Adam: I got it.
[0:48:10 – 0:48:11] Adam: I’m going back to this tab.
[0:48:12 – 0:48:13] Adam: I’m going backwards here.
[0:48:13 – 0:48:15] ErikTSN: X out the tab you were just reading off of.
[0:48:16 – 0:48:17] Adam: Oh, I’m going to X out that tab.
[0:48:17 – 0:48:19] Adam: Yeah, and I’ll go back.
[0:48:19 – 0:48:20] Adam: Then you can re-click into the west side.
[0:48:20 – 0:48:24] Adam: What do you think that mystery animal was off the Discord there, Jim?
[0:48:24 – 0:48:26] ErikTSN: I think it’s just a rock.
[0:48:26 – 0:48:30] Adam: No, they said in the comments very distinctly it was definitely moving.
[0:48:30 – 0:48:30] ErikTSN: Oh.
[0:48:30 – 0:48:31] ErikTSN: I don’t know.
[0:48:31 – 0:48:33] Adam: It looked to me like a bloated beaver.
[0:48:34 – 0:48:36] ErikTSN: The bloated beaver.
[0:48:36 – 0:48:38] Adam: The bloated beaver of Basswood Falls.
[0:48:39 – 0:48:42] Adam: That’s going to be our next selection on Tumulam Cinema Classics.
[0:48:42 – 0:48:43] Adam: It’s X-rated.
[0:48:43 – 0:48:44] ErikTSN: Ew.
[0:48:46 – 0:48:49] ErikTSN: What is wrong with you tonight?
[0:48:49 – 0:48:52] ErikTSN: How do you get to an X rating?
[0:48:52 – 0:48:58] ErikTSN: Full dissection of a bloated, festering, maggot-riddled… Gaseous chambers.
[0:48:59 – 0:49:00] ErikTSN: Gaseous clay.
[0:49:02 – 0:49:03] Adam: Geez whiz.
[0:49:04 – 0:49:05] Adam: All right.
[0:49:05 – 0:49:06] Adam: Geez whiz.
[0:49:06 – 0:49:07] Adam: We’re down to eight.
[0:49:08 – 0:49:11] Adam: Let’s just run through the quick eight here before we start announcing.
[0:49:11 – 0:49:13] Adam: We got the one versus the seven.
[0:49:13 – 0:49:15] Adam: Common loon versus pileated woodpecker.
[0:49:16 – 0:49:21] Adam: The four seed great horned owl versus the seven seed roughed grouse.
[0:49:22 – 0:49:27] Adam: The four versus three ruby-throated hummingbird versus the kingfisher.
[0:49:27 – 0:49:35] Adam: And then the chickadees versus the white-throated sparrow down here in the southeast part of the bracket here.
[0:49:35 – 0:49:37] Adam: The four seed versus the two seed.
[0:49:38 – 0:49:38] Adam: So you’re right.
[0:49:38 – 0:49:41] Adam: There’s only one seed left, and it’s the common loon.
[0:49:41 – 0:49:45] Adam: And Eric is convinced over here that they’re going to walk all over the rest of these birds.
[0:49:45 – 0:49:46] Adam: I am not convinced.
[0:49:46 – 0:49:47] ErikTSN: I am.
[0:49:47 – 0:49:54] Adam: I think that it’s obvious that they would make it to the final four probably, but maybe the pileated is the upset here.
[0:49:56 – 0:50:02] Adam: But there’s a lot of great birds here in the final eight, and I think any one of these birds could take out the common loon.
[0:50:03 – 0:50:11] Adam: That said, though, the Common Loon’s great, and we aren’t going to just play a tournament and have an inferior team win.
[0:50:11 – 0:50:11] Adam: No.
[0:50:11 – 0:50:15] Adam: Just because we’re bored with the greatness of the Common Loon.
[0:50:16 – 0:50:17] Adam: I’ll cook up something to ban them.
[0:50:17 – 0:50:18] Adam: It’s a birdment.
[0:50:18 – 0:50:20] ErikTSN: I’ll ban them for life.
[0:50:20 – 0:50:23] ErikTSN: I’m sure there’s some shenaniganery happening.
[0:50:23 – 0:50:23] ErikTSN: Yeah.
[0:50:23 – 0:50:25] ErikTSN: Some shambolic behind-the-scenes stuff.
[0:50:27 – 0:50:29] ErikTSN: scouting maneuvers.
[0:50:29 – 0:50:36] ErikTSN: They were over in Eastern Europe when they shouldn’t have been or signing players before the window opened.
[0:50:36 – 0:50:37] ErikTSN: We’ll cook something up.
[0:50:38 – 0:50:38] Adam: Yeah, they’re cheaters.
[0:50:38 – 0:50:41] Adam: This is going to be the last showing of the loons here.
[0:50:43 – 0:50:44] ErikTSN: Yes.
[0:50:44 – 0:50:46] Adam: All right, let’s get it over with then.
[0:50:46 – 0:50:46] Adam: What happened?
[0:50:46 – 0:50:48] Adam: Let’s get it over with.
[0:50:48 – 0:50:50] Adam: Did the Pileated Woodpecker overcome?
[0:50:50 – 0:50:52] Adam: No, of course they didn’t.
[0:50:52 – 0:50:53] Adam: They did not.
[0:50:53 – 0:50:54] ErikTSN: The loons are in the final four.
[0:50:55 – 0:50:56] ErikTSN: Whoop-dee-doo, 38-22.
[0:50:56 – 0:50:57] ErikTSN: 38-22?
[0:50:58 – 0:50:58] Adam: Yeah.
[0:50:58 – 0:51:03] Adam: Well, they’re losing votes, though.
[0:51:03 – 0:51:06] Adam: 38-22 still is a pretty big beak clapping.
[0:51:07 – 0:51:11] ErikTSN: Yeah, there was some hard beak on beak action that week.
[0:51:11 – 0:51:14] Adam: Yeah, that’s the beakiest matchup we’ve had yet.
[0:51:14 – 0:51:15] Adam: The beakiest.
[0:51:15 – 0:51:16] Adam: Extra beaky.
[0:51:16 – 0:51:23] Adam: All right, Common Loon is into the Final Four, and we’ll find out next week if they can…
[0:51:25 – 0:51:33] Adam: See, I would say that this is so much pressure that the common loon has to win this all, or it would be, frankly, embarrassing.
[0:51:34 – 0:51:36] Adam: So, I mean, that’s a different kind of pressure.
[0:51:36 – 0:51:37] Adam: Sure, yeah.
[0:51:37 – 0:51:49] Adam: They’re such big favorites that anything other than total domination in the champion’s nest would be an embarrassment and a shame to all of the loon heritage.
[0:51:50 – 0:51:53] ErikTSN: including the ones who won the previous Tumble tournament.
[0:51:53 – 0:51:56] ErikTSN: Anything short of total domination.
[0:51:56 – 0:52:02] Adam: That team that had already raised the banner a couple years back, they’re looking back, they’re looking around, and they’re like, don’t let us down.
[0:52:03 – 0:52:07] Adam: If you guys don’t bring this one home, you’re not allowed back into the loon nest.
[0:52:08 – 0:52:12] ErikTSN: Well, I mean, there’s some that would maybe say that they’ve had an easier path.
[0:52:13 – 0:52:15] Adam: Well, they were the top seed overall.
[0:52:15 – 0:52:17] Adam: They definitely had a pretty favorable path.
[0:52:17 – 0:52:21] ErikTSN: I wonder who the loons beat.
[0:52:22 – 0:52:25] ErikTSN: It should be noted that it was the loon calls, I guess.
[0:52:26 – 0:52:27] ErikTSN: It wasn’t the loons.
[0:52:29 – 0:52:30] ErikTSN: It’s the song of the loon.
[0:52:30 – 0:52:31] ErikTSN: Yes.
[0:52:32 – 0:52:34] Adam: Not the loon itself that won that tournament.
[0:52:34 – 0:52:37] Adam: Because it was an experiences tumble tournament.
[0:52:37 – 0:52:41] ErikTSN: I won’t be devastated if they win, but I will be disappointed.
[0:52:41 – 0:52:42] Adam: This is a whole different kind of tournament.
[0:52:42 – 0:52:45] Adam: We’re not voting on their song, which is majestic.
[0:52:46 – 0:52:46] ErikTSN: Oh, well.
[0:52:46 – 0:52:47] Adam: We’re voting on the bird itself.
[0:52:47 – 0:52:50] ErikTSN: Apparently, because nobody was voting on the song.
[0:52:50 – 0:52:51] ErikTSN: Yeah, no.
[0:52:51 – 0:53:01] Adam: Don’t even try and come at me now and say this tournament’s about the song after the Swainson’s thrush got absolutely garbage handled in the first round.
[0:53:02 – 0:53:03] Adam: Yeah, no.
[0:53:03 – 0:53:06] Adam: This is just about the bird itself.
[0:53:06 – 0:53:07] Adam: Just the bird.
[0:53:07 – 0:53:08] Adam: It’s just the bird.
[0:53:08 – 0:53:09] Adam: Meritocracy.
[0:53:09 – 0:53:13] Adam: It’s the bird in here beneath the plumage, Jim.
[0:53:13 – 0:53:18] ErikTSN: Well, we got one more matchup on the west side here to determine who’s going to go up against said loons.
[0:53:18 – 0:53:19] ErikTSN: The bird itself.
[0:53:19 – 0:53:21] ErikTSN: Judge on character.
[0:53:22 – 0:53:24] ErikTSN: The Great Horned Owls going up against the Roughed Grouse.
[0:53:25 – 0:53:31] ErikTSN: We are one vote away from another tie for these sick sons of cheating bitches, Roughed Grouse.
[0:53:33 – 0:53:35] ErikTSN: If they would have tied again, I have no idea who would have won.
[0:53:36 – 0:53:37] ErikTSN: But they did not.
[0:53:37 – 0:53:38] Adam: They probably would have as the low seed.
[0:53:39 – 0:53:39] ErikTSN: They did not tie.
[0:53:40 – 0:53:40] ErikTSN: No.
[0:53:40 – 0:53:41] ErikTSN: They won by one vote.
[0:53:42 – 0:53:44] ErikTSN: Ruffed Grouse are into the final four.
[0:53:44 – 0:53:45] Adam: By a vote.
[0:53:45 – 0:53:45] ErikTSN: 30 to 29.
[0:53:45 – 0:53:45] ErikTSN: What?
[0:53:45 – 0:53:45] ErikTSN: What?
[0:53:48 – 0:53:50] Adam: These guys are just getting by.
[0:53:50 – 0:53:55] Adam: Oh, they’re just narrowly avoiding being hit by a hunter on an ATV.
[0:53:56 – 0:53:59] Adam: Week after week, the rough grouse is through.
[0:53:59 – 0:54:05] ErikTSN: One of the worst paired up half of a Final Four I’ve ever seen.
[0:54:05 – 0:54:09] ErikTSN: This west side of the bracket is an abject failure.
[0:54:10 – 0:54:11] ErikTSN: The rough grouse?
[0:54:11 – 0:54:12] ErikTSN: What the fuck are we doing?
[0:54:13 – 0:54:14] ErikTSN: What’s going on?
[0:54:17 – 0:54:20] Adam: How many boundary water strips have you ever been on, Jim, where you didn’t see a rough grouse?
[0:54:20 – 0:54:23] ErikTSN: How did the great horned owls lose to the rough grouse?
[0:54:23 – 0:54:24] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:54:24 – 0:54:26] ErikTSN: A bird you can literally walk up to and club?
[0:54:26 – 0:54:27] Adam: Yeah.
[0:54:27 – 0:54:27] Adam: Fuck.
[0:54:27 – 0:54:31] Adam: Versus one of the greatest predators known to the entire planet.
[0:54:32 – 0:54:33] Adam: No, the entire galaxy.
[0:54:34 – 0:54:34] Adam: Galaxy?
[0:54:34 – 0:54:35] Adam: Yeah, at least.
[0:54:36 – 0:54:36] Adam: Probably.
[0:54:37 – 0:54:38] ErikTSN: Most likely.
[0:54:38 – 0:54:42] Adam: Most likely one of the greatest predators in the entire dimension.
[0:54:42 – 0:54:42] Adam: Yeah.
[0:54:43 – 0:54:46] Adam: Losing to the Ruffed Grouse by one vote.
[0:54:47 – 0:54:47] ErikTSN: One.
[0:54:47 – 0:54:50] ErikTSN: And if we would have voted, it probably would have gone the other way.
[0:54:50 – 0:54:53] ErikTSN: But we did not vote because we didn’t want to spoil ourselves.
[0:54:53 – 0:54:54] Adam: I think both of us would have voted for the Grainhorn.
[0:54:54 – 0:54:56] Adam: I would have voted for a Grainhorn Owl.
[0:54:56 – 0:54:57] Adam: That’s why we don’t vote.
[0:54:59 – 0:55:03] ErikTSN: Well, I’ve occasionally voted, but I didn’t want to vote this week because it would have spoiled it.
[0:55:03 – 0:55:05] Adam: That’s why I didn’t want to vote because I didn’t want to see what happened.
[0:55:07 – 0:55:07] Adam: There you go.
[0:55:07 – 0:55:08] Adam: Rough grouse is through.
[0:55:09 – 0:55:13] ErikTSN: I can’t believe that the rough grouse or the loons are going to be in the final.
[0:55:13 – 0:55:14] ErikTSN: The loons don’t surprise me.
[0:55:14 – 0:55:16] ErikTSN: The rough grouse is insane.
[0:55:16 – 0:55:20] ErikTSN: That’s the dumbest, ugliest, stupidest bird in…
[0:55:20 – 0:55:25] Adam: I would say they’re dumb and they are stupid, but I don’t know that I agree with you, Jim, that they’re ugly.
[0:55:25 – 0:55:26] Adam: They are very beautiful and they…
[0:55:27 – 0:55:29] Adam: They fan out the feathers.
[0:55:30 – 0:55:31] Adam: They’re very pretty.
[0:55:31 – 0:55:39] ErikTSN: Well, I can’t wait to spend the next month going out of my way on the dirt roads of Cook County to plink them with ease.
[0:55:39 – 0:55:39] ErikTSN: No!
[0:55:41 – 0:55:42] Adam: Whether I like it or not, it’s going to happen.
[0:55:42 – 0:55:45] Adam: It’s going to hurt you more than it hurts them, I’ll tell you that much.
[0:55:45 – 0:55:46] ErikTSN: It does actually hurt me.
[0:55:47 – 0:55:48] ErikTSN: I hate it when I hit birds.
[0:55:48 – 0:55:49] ErikTSN: It makes me feel bad.
[0:55:50 – 0:55:52] Adam: No, for real.
[0:55:52 – 0:55:52] Adam: Please don’t.
[0:55:54 – 0:55:56] Adam: Well, those are…
[0:55:56 – 0:56:03] Adam: Honestly, though, if you’re doing a boundary waters trip, they’re probably the two birds you’re guaranteed to see.
[0:56:03 – 0:56:06] Adam: The common loon and the rough grouse.
[0:56:06 – 0:56:11] Adam: And I like that it is one you’re going to see on the water and one you will almost certainly see in the portage.
[0:56:11 – 0:56:12] ErikTSN: Or here, for sure.
[0:56:12 – 0:56:14] Adam: Or you’re going to see them on the Stauber Trail.
[0:56:17 – 0:56:17] ErikTSN: Yes.
[0:56:19 – 0:56:21] Adam: You ever seen a loon while you’ve been on the Stauber?
[0:56:22 – 0:56:23] ErikTSN: Yeah, just walking around?
[0:56:23 – 0:56:23] ErikTSN: No.
[0:56:23 – 0:56:25] Adam: Yeah, just overhead.
[0:56:26 – 0:56:32] ErikTSN: Moving back over to the far superior side of the tournament where there is actual fun happening.
[0:56:33 – 0:56:37] ErikTSN: I’m glad you get to describe where we’re going to get to here.
[0:56:37 – 0:56:40] Adam: I’m going to click on the link here.
[0:56:41 – 0:56:43] Adam: Yeah, the big black square.
[0:56:43 – 0:56:44] Adam: Yeah, I’m clicking on it.
[0:56:44 – 0:56:46] Adam: All right.
[0:56:46 – 0:56:53] Adam: Got ourselves the ruby-throated hummingbird versus the kingfisher for a chance at destiny.
[0:56:53 – 0:56:56] ErikTSN: Both are either would be great.
[0:56:58 – 0:56:59] Adam: Yeah, who are you calling?
[0:56:59 – 0:57:03] Adam: I’ll give you a chance here right now on the fly to call this one.
[0:57:03 – 0:57:05] Adam: This one wasn’t really that close, though.
[0:57:05 – 0:57:06] Adam: Wow, really?
[0:57:06 – 0:57:07] ErikTSN: I’m surprised.
[0:57:07 – 0:57:08] ErikTSN: I’ll say Kingfisher.
[0:57:08 – 0:57:09] ErikTSN: Kingfisher’s through.
[0:57:10 – 0:57:10] Adam: Yes.
[0:57:11 – 0:57:12] Adam: 34 votes to 20.
[0:57:12 – 0:57:15] Adam: Yeah, I don’t know.
[0:57:15 – 0:57:17] Adam: That’s how it goes when you have to condense these weeks.
[0:57:17 – 0:57:18] Adam: You get a lot less votes.
[0:57:19 – 0:57:20] Adam: It’s only the diehards.
[0:57:20 – 0:57:22] ErikTSN: We got all these, you know.
[0:57:22 – 0:57:25] Adam: 34 to 20, and it’s the Kingfisher.
[0:57:25 – 0:57:25] Adam: We…
[0:57:28 – 0:57:29] Adam: Nobody’s disappointed.
[0:57:29 – 0:57:31] Adam: The Kingfishers are amazing.
[0:57:31 – 0:57:35] Adam: We’re going to give them an exclamation point there on the final four.
[0:57:35 – 0:57:36] Adam: They punched their ticket.
[0:57:37 – 0:57:39] Adam: Jim, the Kingfishers are in.
[0:57:40 – 0:57:46] Adam: They got the craziest hairdo left, the biggest head, and a very nice beak ratio.
[0:57:46 – 0:57:47] ErikTSN: Good beak to head ratio.
[0:57:48 – 0:57:49] Adam: All right.
[0:57:49 – 0:57:57] Adam: And finally, we got the number four seed Chickadee versus the two seed white-throated Sparrow…
[0:57:58 – 0:58:00] Adam: Holy S, Jim.
[0:58:00 – 0:58:01] Adam: This one’s close.
[0:58:01 – 0:58:07] Adam: Two-vote victory for the Chickadees are through.
[0:58:07 – 0:58:07] Adam: Oh, no.
[0:58:08 – 0:58:08] Adam: Oh, my God.
[0:58:08 – 0:58:09] Adam: The Chickadees are through.
[0:58:10 – 0:58:13] ErikTSN: Scotty Baldwin is just rolling in a honey-filled grave.
[0:58:14 – 0:58:14] Adam: It’s 28-26.
[0:58:14 – 0:58:15] Adam: Oh, my.
[0:58:19 – 0:58:21] Adam: The chickadees are through.
[0:58:21 – 0:58:22] Adam: Oh, my.
[0:58:23 – 0:58:28] Adam: So we did get one small bird into the finals, and it’s the smallest bird that matters.
[0:58:28 – 0:58:31] Adam: It’s the one that you can count on the most.
[0:58:32 – 0:58:35] Adam: I would say of all these that the kingfisher is the real wild card.
[0:58:35 – 0:58:39] Adam: How many trips have I been on in the park where I’ve seen a kingfisher?
[0:58:39 – 0:58:39] Adam: Every one.
[0:58:40 – 0:58:40] ErikTSN: What?
[0:58:40 – 0:58:41] ErikTSN: I’ve seen a couple kingfishers.
[0:58:41 – 0:58:44] Adam: You hear them more than you see them, I guess.
[0:58:44 – 0:58:46] Adam: Yeah, but you can always see.
[0:58:46 – 0:58:56] Adam: Hell, if you’re on a winter trip, even then you’re going to see a chickadee for sure or probably a rough grouse.
[0:58:57 – 0:58:59] Adam: The common loon, always going to be out there on the water.
[0:58:59 – 0:59:01] Adam: And then the kingfisher.
[0:59:01 – 0:59:02] Adam: That’s your final four.
[0:59:02 – 0:59:07] Adam: It’s a one seed, a three seed, a four seed, and a seven seed.
[0:59:07 – 0:59:09] Adam: So we have a nice mix here.
[0:59:10 – 0:59:14] ErikTSN: Besides the rough grouse, which is a lying, cheating…
[0:59:15 – 0:59:20] Adam: Nobody can believe that the rough grouse got past the bar double there in round two.
[0:59:20 – 0:59:21] Adam: Nobody will ever believe that.
[0:59:21 – 0:59:22] ErikTSN: There’s no explanation.
[0:59:22 – 0:59:27] ErikTSN: They’ve not come out to explain why a tie went the way it did.
[0:59:27 – 0:59:30] Adam: The ABA is in shambles and they’re hiding.
[0:59:30 – 0:59:39] ErikTSN: I blame myself because I had the opportunity to vote in that second round, and I would not have voted for that clown bird, but I did not.
[0:59:39 – 0:59:45] Adam: Put it this way, though, because I voted for the barred owl in that round, and that’s the only reason it ended up being tied then, I guess.
[0:59:45 – 0:59:46] ErikTSN: Well, I guess, yeah.
[0:59:46 – 0:59:47] ErikTSN: It wasn’t enough.
[0:59:47 – 0:59:48] Adam: You created the controversy.
[0:59:49 – 0:59:51] ErikTSN: But if I would have voted, there would have been no question.
[0:59:51 – 0:59:52] ErikTSN: Couldn’t really use your help over here.
[0:59:52 – 0:59:55] ErikTSN: You wouldn’t be talking about it now.
[0:59:55 – 0:59:56] Adam: Who knows what would have happened then.
[0:59:58 – 1:00:02] Adam: Either way, though, these are four great birds.
[1:00:02 – 1:00:10] Adam: And if I got to pick my own bracket, it probably wouldn’t look like this in the final four.
[1:00:11 – 1:00:14] Adam: But these are all great birds, all birds I really enjoy.
[1:00:15 – 1:00:22] Adam: And we’re going to get either the loon versus the grouse in the final or the chickadee and the kingfisher.
[1:00:23 – 1:00:25] Adam: I’m very intrigued by this east side of the bracket.
[1:00:26 – 1:00:28] Adam: The east side’s been a delight.
[1:00:28 – 1:00:31] Adam: The west side has had all the really close voting, though.
[1:00:31 – 1:00:32] ErikTSN: That’s true.
[1:00:32 – 1:00:39] Adam: Up until this Chickadee versus White-Throated Sparrow Elite 8 matchup over here, the east side’s been pretty wide open.
[1:00:41 – 1:00:49] Adam: Not really anything too close over here, whereas the west side has had multiple games decided by one vote, two votes, or zero votes.
[1:00:49 – 1:00:51] ErikTSN: Zero votes, which still decided a game.
[1:00:52 – 1:00:53] Adam: Yeah, well, what are you going to do?
[1:00:53 – 1:00:54] Adam: The show must go on.
[1:00:55 – 1:00:58] Adam: What are they going to do, call you up in the middle of the night?
[1:00:58 – 1:00:59] Adam: Yes, sir, what has happened?
[1:00:59 – 1:01:00] Adam: There’s been a tie.
[1:01:00 – 1:01:03] Adam: We need somebody to cast the tie-breaking vote.
[1:01:03 – 1:01:04] Adam: We’ll call up Dick Cheney.
[1:01:04 – 1:01:05] Adam: He’s president of the Senate.
[1:01:07 – 1:01:26] ErikTSN: he’ll tell you uh yeah hell of a final four one number one seed in the loons uh i mean if you’re in the uh rough grouse the east side though uh kingfishers and the chickadees i don’t know if i would have ever uh i could have ever predicted that but uh it makes sense i’m happy for both of them
[1:01:26 – 1:01:29] ErikTSN: And I can’t wait to see how things progress.
[1:01:29 – 1:01:32] ErikTSN: We’ve only got a few more matches to actually vote on.
[1:01:35 – 1:01:36] ErikTSN: The final four voting is live.
[1:01:37 – 1:01:37] ErikTSN: Currently.
[1:01:37 – 1:01:38] ErikTSN: Until Wednesday.
[1:01:39 – 1:01:41] ErikTSN: And then what?
[1:01:41 – 1:01:44] ErikTSN: Thursday morning the finals vote goes?
[1:01:44 – 1:01:46] ErikTSN: I will have to spoil myself.
[1:01:47 – 1:01:52] ErikTSN: to make the finals voting open.
[1:01:53 – 1:01:55] ErikTSN: Just a 1v1 matchup for the championship.
[1:01:55 – 1:02:00] Adam: You can’t just make a new bracket where it’s the four and then that goes to the next one?
[1:02:01 – 1:02:02] ErikTSN: It’s too late for that.
[1:02:02 – 1:02:02] Adam: It’s too late.
[1:02:02 – 1:02:03] Adam: You already had to set it all up.
[1:02:04 – 1:02:04] Adam: Yeah.
[1:02:04 – 1:02:07] ErikTSN: This is the best application for what we’re trying to do here.
[1:02:07 – 1:02:08] ErikTSN: It’s great.
[1:02:08 – 1:02:11] ErikTSN: It’s not perfect, but it is the best.
[1:02:11 – 1:02:12] Adam: It’s not perfect, but it is great.
[1:02:13 – 1:02:13] Adam: Yes.
[1:02:14 – 1:02:15] Adam: This one’s full of beaks.
[1:02:16 – 1:02:17] Adam: So beaky.
[1:02:18 – 1:02:19] Adam: Beaky blinders.
[1:02:22 – 1:02:30] Adam: So if you had to make a call at this point, I’m not going to put you on the spot for a lock of the week because we’re not going to do lock of the week for Final Four anymore.
[1:02:30 – 1:02:35] Adam: But in your heart, who do you feel is the champion of this Final Four?
[1:02:37 – 1:02:39] Adam: You think it’s just going to be the Loon?
[1:02:39 – 1:02:39] ErikTSN: Yeah.
[1:02:40 – 1:02:40] Adam: All right.
[1:02:40 – 1:02:41] Adam: Let’s put it another way.
[1:02:41 – 1:02:50] ErikTSN: This has all just been a waste of time to crown the Loons again for some pointless nothing tournament that everybody just loves the Loon.
[1:02:51 – 1:02:53] Adam: Why wouldn’t you love the Loon, though, Jim?
[1:02:53 – 1:02:54] ErikTSN: I don’t not love the Loon.
[1:02:54 – 1:02:55] ErikTSN: I just, you know.
[1:02:56 – 1:02:58] ErikTSN: It’s the same problem that I have with anything.
[1:02:59 – 1:03:01] ErikTSN: I don’t want to see the same team or the same thing.
[1:03:01 – 1:03:07] ErikTSN: You just go home at night and watch fucking Back to the Future every night because it’s the best movie ever made.
[1:03:07 – 1:03:08] ErikTSN: Is that what you do?
[1:03:08 – 1:03:10] ErikTSN: How about some variety?
[1:03:10 – 1:03:12] ErikTSN: Give me some spice it up.
[1:03:12 – 1:03:15] ErikTSN: Honestly, I would rather have the cheating grouse get through
[1:03:16 – 1:03:17] ErikTSN: Cheating grouse versus…
[1:03:18 – 1:03:18] ErikTSN: I don’t know.
[1:03:18 – 1:03:20] ErikTSN: I’ve been on Team Kingfisher this whole time.
[1:03:20 – 1:03:22] Adam: Grouse versus Kingfisher.
[1:03:22 – 1:03:26] ErikTSN: I’m pounding the beaky wonders that are the Kingfishers.
[1:03:26 – 1:03:29] Adam: I think I’m hot for these chickadees now, Jim.
[1:03:29 – 1:03:30] ErikTSN: I’m not against that either.
[1:03:30 – 1:03:36] Adam: I think if I had my way, I’m putting all my force and power behind these chickadees.
[1:03:36 – 1:03:37] Adam: I don’t know.
[1:03:37 – 1:03:39] Adam: It’s just my favorite bird at this point.
[1:03:40 – 1:03:42] Adam: I don’t know, though.
[1:03:42 – 1:03:43] Adam: I mean, the loon…
[1:03:44 – 1:03:44] Adam: Let’s be real.
[1:03:44 – 1:03:49] Adam: If you’re on a Boundary Waters trip and you see a loon, it is always a magical moment.
[1:03:49 – 1:03:51] Adam: And that’s what the birdament is.
[1:03:51 – 1:03:53] Adam: But…
[1:03:54 – 1:03:55] Adam: Wait, what is the birdament?
[1:03:55 – 1:03:57] ErikTSN: We’ve never really come up with a thesis.
[1:03:57 – 1:03:59] Adam: Best bird in the Boundary Waters.
[1:03:59 – 1:03:59] Adam: Best bird.
[1:03:59 – 1:04:01] Adam: Best bird in the park, yeah.
[1:04:02 – 1:04:04] ErikTSN: It’s not based on calls, but though if it is.
[1:04:04 – 1:04:07] Adam: Is this the best bird in the, and if it is, the loon is right up there.
[1:04:08 – 1:04:10] ErikTSN: Yeah, when it is, then it is.
[1:04:10 – 1:04:12] ErikTSN: I like the rough grouse call.
[1:04:13 – 1:04:14] Adam: The rough grouse call.
[1:04:15 – 1:04:20] ErikTSN: Besides the chest pumping, they don’t really do anything besides like little like,
[1:04:20 – 1:04:22] Adam: Yeah, they make little squeaks.
[1:04:22 – 1:04:25] Adam: You ever seen a grouse, like baby grouse?
[1:04:26 – 1:04:26] ErikTSN: Oh, yeah.
[1:04:27 – 1:04:27] ErikTSN: The broods.
[1:04:27 – 1:04:28] Adam: Yeah.
[1:04:28 – 1:04:31] Adam: I mean, bucks had little baby chicks in a tub.
[1:04:32 – 1:04:34] ErikTSN: Nuggets with a side of BBQ.
[1:04:35 – 1:04:36] Adam: And those are pretty cute, too.
[1:04:37 – 1:04:45] Adam: Yeah, the chickadee has a great vocabulary, a repertoire of song, and the kingfisher is just boisterous.
[1:04:46 – 1:05:11] Adam: and a little out of control and i’d say that the wild card i think the kingfisher is the real wild card here if they can get to the finals who the hell knows i wouldn’t put it past them i could see any of these birds winning this at this point but i would say that if you were going down to the calci betting window you’re getting 80 odds on the loon getting this thing locked up as they should the brick and mortar calci shop
[1:05:11 – 1:05:35] ErikTSN: yeah this is a similar quite similar to the mostly final four of the uh stanley cup finals here yeah that’s the way it usually goes the loon in the the form of the avalanche where it’s like yeah okay whatever we’ve seen you guys do this before the loon is the avalanche not excited about that and then again the seven seed in the rough grouse is the cheating vegas golden knights yeah getting uh
[1:05:36 – 1:05:53] ErikTSN: Banned, fined, and charged picks for all myriad of discrepancies and illegalities and shirkings of the rules and laws that do… Ditch Marner.
[1:05:53 – 1:05:54] ErikTSN: Ditch Marner.
[1:05:55 – 1:05:56] ErikTSN: Exactly.
[1:05:58 – 1:06:00] ErikTSN: And then on the other side, it’s like, yeah, I don’t know.
[1:06:01 – 1:06:06] ErikTSN: We don’t know if it’s going to be Buffalo or Montreal, but either of those teams is kind of like exciting.
[1:06:06 – 1:06:10] Adam: Yeah, I feel like the Kingfisher is Buffalo and the Chickadee is Montreal.
[1:06:11 – 1:06:11] ErikTSN: Okay.
[1:06:12 – 1:06:14] Adam: But what about Carolina?
[1:06:15 – 1:06:16] Adam: Yeah, Carolina was the mallard.
[1:06:16 – 1:06:18] Adam: They really match up.
[1:06:18 – 1:06:24] ErikTSN: Carolina’s kind of doing its own thing where it’s like, oh, yeah, you’re a really good team, and nobody cares about you.
[1:06:24 – 1:06:32] ErikTSN: You’re just going to sweep your way to the finals, and nobody’s going to talk about you even if you win the cup because you’re from Raleigh.
[1:06:33 – 1:06:34] ErikTSN: Raleigh would, baby.
[1:06:35 – 1:06:41] ErikTSN: Well, very exciting and can’t wait to finish this tournament up next week.
[1:06:41 – 1:06:44] ErikTSN: Whether it makes me happy or not, I am excited.
[1:06:45 – 1:06:47] ErikTSN: And, yeah.
[1:06:47 – 1:06:47] ErikTSN: Fair enough.
[1:06:47 – 1:06:48] ErikTSN: Go Kingfishers.
[1:06:48 – 1:06:50] ErikTSN: That’s my vote.
[1:06:52 – 1:06:57] ErikTSN: Every other bird can fill their bones with cement and sink to the bottom of the lake.
[1:06:58 – 1:06:59] ErikTSN: My goodness, Jim.
[1:07:00 – 1:07:02] Adam: Thanks to Trent and…
[1:07:06 – 1:07:08] Adam: Only Trent signed the card, but it was Trent and Chris.
[1:07:09 – 1:07:09] ErikTSN: Okay.
[1:07:09 – 1:07:11] ErikTSN: With a K or a C?
[1:07:11 – 1:07:19] Adam: With a C, Trent and Chris from the west side of Minnesota stopped by with these smoked beers, which I finished mine.
[1:07:21 – 1:07:23] Adam: It got less smoky as you went?
[1:07:23 – 1:07:24] Adam: Sort of, yeah.
[1:07:24 – 1:07:25] Adam: I don’t know what happened.
[1:07:25 – 1:07:26] ErikTSN: That’s exactly what was happening.
[1:07:26 – 1:07:28] Adam: Yeah, no, definitely.
[1:07:29 – 1:07:32] Adam: And I don’t know.
[1:07:32 – 1:07:36] Adam: We appreciate your support of the show, and thank you for listening.
[1:07:37 – 1:07:47] Adam: Everybody out there, just remember that every day is precious and life is a miracle, but we really appreciate the support of the Patreons and anybody who has voted in this tournament.
[1:07:49 – 1:07:59] Adam: This is what the whole Tumble Home community and the entire show is about, is bringing people together who just want to explore that park, baby.
[1:08:00 – 1:08:02] ErikTSN: I’m just making hot takes here.
[1:08:02 – 1:08:05] Adam: Yeah, no, Eric’s just trying to be controversial.
[1:08:05 – 1:08:06] Adam: Stephen A. Smith in it.
[1:08:07 – 1:08:13] Adam: Yeah, he’s the Stephen A. Grouse of this show.
[1:08:13 – 1:08:14] ErikTSN: And we’re firing up the mezzanine.
[1:08:14 – 1:08:15] ErikTSN: We’re going to talk about Rio.
[1:08:16 – 1:08:17] Adam: Hell yeah, we are.
[1:08:17 – 1:08:22] ErikTSN: Which is just a shockingly short movie.
[1:08:22 – 1:08:24] ErikTSN: Yeah.
[1:08:24 – 1:08:26] ErikTSN: These days, an hour and a half movie?
[1:08:26 – 1:08:27] ErikTSN: It doesn’t even feel like a movie.
[1:08:27 – 1:08:29] ErikTSN: It’s like an episode of a TV show.
[1:08:29 – 1:08:42] Adam: I’m ripping this nice camel blazer off, and I’ve got a bejeweled sequined jumpsuit ready because we’re going to be dancing in the tumble shed like we’re at Carnival.
[1:08:42 – 1:08:42] ErikTSN: Yes.
[1:08:43 – 1:09:06] ErikTSN: uh with uh rio i did not realize that there was i didn’t take you seriously when you described the plot of the movie a couple weeks ago wow they actually think that was real it actually does start in minnesota yeah that’s why it was suggested i believe i also was not expecting the dulcet tones of jesse eisenberg noted voice actor what just like uh what charismatic voice from that guy
[1:09:07 – 1:09:11] ErikTSN: I literally had to get to the credits to be like, who voiced the main bird?
[1:09:12 – 1:09:13] ErikTSN: Jesse Eisenberg?
[1:09:13 – 1:09:14] Adam: Zuckerberg.
[1:09:14 – 1:09:15] ErikTSN: Zuckerberg?
[1:09:15 – 1:09:15] ErikTSN: What the?
[1:09:16 – 1:09:16] ErikTSN: Young Zuck.
[1:09:17 – 1:09:18] ErikTSN: Who made that decision?
[1:09:19 – 1:09:20] ErikTSN: We’ll talk about it.
[1:09:20 – 1:09:22] ErikTSN: He’s an awkward, nerdy bird.
[1:09:22 – 1:09:25] ErikTSN: I guess, but I could think of, I don’t know.
[1:09:25 – 1:09:27] Adam: Who would you rather voice Blue?
[1:09:28 – 1:09:32] Adam: And I can’t wait to, do you know Blue’s full name?
[1:09:33 – 1:09:37] ErikTSN: Richard Hendricks, whoever the actor that plays that guy from Silicon Valley.
[1:09:38 – 1:09:39] ErikTSN: I haven’t seen that.
[1:09:39 – 1:09:41] ErikTSN: He’s another nerdy Jesse Eisenberg type.
[1:09:42 – 1:09:48] Adam: We will reveal the full name of Blue the Parakeet, whatever he was.
[1:09:48 – 1:09:49] Adam: Yeah.
[1:09:49 – 1:09:58] Adam: I have the full name and a lot of good notes, so we’re going to hop on out of here and get into the next episode of Tomahawk Cinema Classics.
[1:09:58 – 1:10:01] Adam: I think we’re also going to do Condorman next.
[1:10:01 – 1:10:02] ErikTSN: Oh, sure.
[1:10:02 – 1:10:04] Adam: 1981, Condorman.
[1:10:04 – 1:10:04] Adam: Next.
[1:10:04 – 1:10:07] Adam: And what else was on the list?
[1:10:07 – 1:10:14] Adam: We’re going to have to do the big year with Steve Martin and Owen Wilson for sure at some point.
[1:10:14 – 1:10:22] Adam: And I did, on the whiteboard behind you there, write up a list of all the other ideas people had for Birdament, Bird Movie for Bird Month.
[1:10:22 – 1:10:25] ErikTSN: My lightest notes on a movie ever.
[1:10:25 – 1:10:26] ErikTSN: I have nine notes.
[1:10:27 – 1:10:29] Adam: Yeah, it might be kind of a shorter TCC list.
[1:10:29 – 1:10:31] ErikTSN: We’re just going to talk about how hot Linda is.
[1:10:32 – 1:10:34] Adam: Man, Linda?
[1:10:35 – 1:10:43] Adam: Who doesn’t want to go to Carnival with a nerdy lady from Minnesota who owns a bookstore?
[1:10:43 – 1:10:48] ErikTSN: Who doesn’t know how to… Drive or dance.
[1:10:48 – 1:10:51] ErikTSN: Or samba or do anything.
[1:10:51 – 1:10:53] Adam: Yeah, but she loves her bird.
[1:10:54 – 1:10:55] ErikTSN: Who is that voiced by?
[1:10:55 – 1:10:57] Adam: She is…
[1:11:00 – 1:11:04] Adam: Voiced by someone pretty famous, Jim.
[1:11:04 – 1:11:05] ErikTSN: Somebody pretty famous.
[1:11:06 – 1:11:07] ErikTSN: I know Anne Hathaway was the girdle bird.
[1:11:07 – 1:11:08] ErikTSN: No, it’s Anne Hathaway.
[1:11:09 – 1:11:09] ErikTSN: No, she’s Jewel.
[1:11:11 – 1:11:13] Adam: The other bird.
[1:11:13 – 1:11:13] Adam: Yeah.
[1:11:13 – 1:11:14] Adam: The other blue bird.

[1:11:15 – 1:11:17] ErikTSN: The blue macaw, the rare.
[1:11:17 – 1:11:17] ErikTSN: Hmm.
[1:11:17 – 1:11:19] ErikTSN: All right, we’re going to have to look this up.
[1:11:19 – 1:11:20] Adam: We’ll figure that out.
[1:11:20 – 1:11:21] Adam: I don’t have this in my notes.
[1:11:21 – 1:11:22] Adam: You’re going to have to tune in.
[1:11:22 – 1:11:33] Adam: If you want to find out who is the voice of the hot librarian in Rio, you’re going to have to tune in to the next episode of Tumble on Cinema Classics.
[1:11:33 – 1:11:35] Adam: That’s why they pay us the big bucks.
[1:11:35 – 1:11:35] ErikTSN: Oh.
