[0:03:14 – 0:03:18] Adam: Who is the pretenders and who are the contenders?
[0:03:18 – 0:03:21] Adam: We’re going to find out tonight.
[0:03:22 – 0:03:27] Adam: And I’m scared and I’m a little bit excited, but I’m a little bit scared.
[0:03:27 – 0:03:27] Erik: I’m everything.
[0:03:28 – 0:03:30] Erik: I’m hoping it’s going to be a little bit more of an adventure.
[0:03:30 – 0:03:36] Erik: A few more upsets than our… We’re not the only fish in the pond these days.
[0:03:36 – 0:03:39] Erik: When this whole tournament started, it was just us.
[0:03:39 – 0:03:41] Erik: We had so much room to breathe.
[0:03:41 – 0:03:51] Erik: We could have done anything we wanted back during the shortly thereafter shortened and or canceled sports seasons.
[0:03:51 – 0:03:52] Erik: We were the only ones around.
[0:03:52 – 0:03:54] Erik: We were the only choice.
[0:03:54 – 0:03:57] Erik: And now we’re muscling for room.
[0:03:58 – 0:04:06] Erik: In comparison to this year’s actual sporting event, I feel like it’s been a pretty chalky March Madness.
[0:04:06 – 0:04:07] Erik: I hope we get some…
[0:04:08 – 0:04:09] Erik: It’s always nice to see a Cinderella.
[0:04:10 – 0:04:11] Erik: I’d like to see one.
[0:04:11 – 0:04:18] Adam: Very few Cinderella’s left in the basket hoop tournament, but there’s a ton of Cinderella’s in this here learnament.
[0:04:18 – 0:04:30] Erik: Yeah, we got sticks of dynamite, chunks of may or may not be ham, Dr. Juice’s spray, club and sticks.
[0:04:30 – 0:04:33] Erik: There’s a multitude of Cinderella options.
[0:04:35 – 0:04:47] Adam: I had some rules that may be broken here because I was looking at the fishing regulations, of course, preparing for tonight’s coverage.
[0:04:47 – 0:04:49] Erik: Rules that may have been broken.
[0:04:49 – 0:04:56] Adam: According to the current 2015 regulations for state of Minnesota fishing.
[0:04:56 – 0:04:57] Adam: Is the Zulu rig getting bounced?
[0:04:58 – 0:05:00] Adam: Using explosives, firearms, and chemicals.
[0:05:03 – 0:05:29] Adam: uh not allowed it’s not allowed hmm what fish this is under the category of what fishing methods are illegal bullet point two taking fish by hand aka noodling oh no so the modak hand technique may also be uh in danger but uh that’s just a missouri thing then huh it’s definitely not a minnesota thing yeah i guess you don’t see the noodling videos coming out of minnesota very often
[0:05:30 – 0:05:32] Adam: It’s also because we have a… You get your hands taken off.
[0:05:33 – 0:05:36] Erik: 20 to 50 times more self-respect.
[0:05:40 – 0:05:42] Adam: He’s been fact-checked on the fly.
[0:05:42 – 0:05:46] Erik: I’m not sticking my arm in a muddy hole.
[0:05:46 – 0:05:48] Adam: The MODAK hand technique is not noodling, though.
[0:05:49 – 0:05:50] Adam: So maybe we’re all right.
[0:05:50 – 0:05:51] Adam: And I don’t know.
[0:05:51 – 0:05:53] Adam: Is a stick of dynamite an explosive device?
[0:05:54 – 0:05:54] Adam: Who am I to say?
[0:05:55 – 0:05:55] Adam: I’m no attorney.
[0:05:56 – 0:05:56] Erik: Yeah.
[0:05:56 – 0:05:59] Erik: Consult your local dictionary on that one.
[0:05:59 – 0:06:04] Adam: Consult your own personal attorney and or game warden before attempting those techniques.
[0:06:05 – 0:06:12] Adam: But as far as we know, they’re in the tournament and they’re in there legally and they’re going to give it their best shot tonight.
[0:06:12 – 0:06:13] Adam: I can’t wait to see what finds out.
[0:06:17 – 0:06:17] Adam: Yeah.
[0:06:17 – 0:06:18] Adam: I can’t wait to see what finds out.
[0:06:19 – 0:06:20] Adam: I’m clearly parched, Jim.
[0:06:20 – 0:06:21] Adam: Here too far.
[0:06:22 – 0:06:22] Adam: Here too far.
[0:06:23 – 0:06:26] Adam: We got ourselves a big old bag of beer over here, it looks like.
[0:06:26 – 0:06:32] Adam: It was dropped off at the co-op on a weekend, and it’s got a piece of tape on there just as Adam with the smiley face.
[0:06:32 – 0:06:34] Erik: Some nice blue painter’s tape.
[0:06:36 – 0:06:38] Adam: I think there’s a story behind this one, but we’ll read the note.
[0:06:38 – 0:06:39] Adam: There is a note here.
[0:06:40 – 0:06:41] Erik: A little cherry on top there.
[0:06:44 – 0:06:45] Adam: Duncan, this is the note.
[0:06:47 – 0:06:49] Adam: I’m not going to say it’s on a business card.
[0:06:50 – 0:06:54] Adam: We will not dox the… We can just say it’s from Mike.
[0:06:54 – 0:06:58] Erik: Maybe they want some mild free advertising.
[0:06:59 – 0:07:00] Erik: No, don’t do it.
[0:07:00 – 0:07:06] Adam: If you need somebody to do some construction for you in the Twin Ports area, shoot us a message on the Discord.
[0:07:06 – 0:07:08] Adam: I’ll put you in touch with Mike.
[0:07:09 – 0:07:12] Adam: They went to Duncan Lake on March 1st.
[0:07:14 – 0:07:14] Adam: 2025.
[0:07:15 – 0:07:16] Adam: This one’s pretty recent.
[0:07:16 – 0:07:16] Erik: Nice.
[0:07:17 – 0:07:23] Adam: And this was, I believe, was dropped off in the weekend for the deli crew did their duty and took it in.
[0:07:24 – 0:07:28] Adam: And I believe one of them, like, jokingly said, like, oh, you got any extras for us?
[0:07:29 – 0:07:34] Adam: And they, ha-ha, you know, no, these are for Adam and Eric only, and left the sponsors.
[0:07:34 – 0:07:41] Adam: But then apparently they came back and, like, had a beer for each of the three deli workers that I was working on doing their duty on a Sunday.
[0:07:41 – 0:07:42] Erik: That’s pretty nice.
[0:07:42 – 0:07:44] Adam: That was pretty nice.
[0:07:44 – 0:07:44] Adam: Thank you, Mike.
[0:07:45 – 0:07:50] Adam: We got ourselves just a loose bent hop here on top from Bent Paddle.
[0:07:51 – 0:07:55] Adam: We’ve had this one on the show before, but there’s a large four-pack in here, it looks like.
[0:07:56 – 0:07:57] Adam: Oh, my.
[0:07:57 – 0:07:58] Adam: Oh, baby.
[0:07:59 – 0:08:00] Adam: I’m just going to hand you one of these.
[0:08:00 – 0:08:01] Adam: It looks like they’re all the same deal, right?
[0:08:02 – 0:08:04] Erik: It’s like some nice artwork on this one.
[0:08:05 – 0:08:06] Erik: We got a hoops.
[0:08:07 – 0:08:08] Erik: Oh, it’s hoops.
[0:08:08 – 0:08:09] Erik: What is this, a Christmas ale?
[0:08:10 – 0:08:14] Erik: It’s Santa’s Brewing Workshop from Hoops Brewing.
[0:08:14 – 0:08:16] Erik: There’s some elves at the bar.
[0:08:16 – 0:08:17] Adam: It says it’s a 21 IPA.
[0:08:17 – 0:08:18] Erik: Getting liquored up.
[0:08:19 – 0:08:24] Erik: Some reindeer playing cribbage in a corner with a pot of, I don’t know, popcorn?
[0:08:25 – 0:08:28] Erik: That one reindeer is drinking out of a bathtub.
[0:08:28 – 0:08:29] Erik: Maybe there’s some jungle juice going on.
[0:08:29 – 0:08:33] Adam: It looks like they got a big old thing, a fruit punch.
[0:08:33 – 0:08:33] Erik: Yeah.
[0:08:34 – 0:08:35] Adam: Santa’s in the brewery.
[0:08:35 – 0:08:37] Adam: Are these reindeer drinking Huapituli?
[0:08:38 – 0:08:40] Erik: Yeah, I think that’s… Yeah, they definitely are.
[0:08:40 – 0:08:40] Adam: Plain cribbage.
[0:08:42 – 0:08:44] Adam: Also, that one reindeer… Yeah, they got Rudolph on there.
[0:08:44 – 0:08:50] Erik: The one reindeer in the far right is breaking the fourth wall literally by sitting on the edge of the house.
[0:08:50 – 0:08:54] Erik: I thought it was a cutaway, but that house just doesn’t have a wall.
[0:08:55 – 0:08:56] Erik: Oh, it’s missing the whole wall.
[0:08:56 – 0:08:57] Erik: The whole wall is missing.
[0:08:58 – 0:09:00] Erik: It’s not great for thermal gains.
[0:09:01 – 0:09:02] Adam: Thank you.
[0:09:02 – 0:09:04] Adam: I had these out on the porch today.
[0:09:04 – 0:09:07] Adam: It’s perfect temperature outside for cooling beers all day, so…
[0:09:07 – 0:09:10] Erik: There’s two kitties sitting on the rooftop watching the moon rise.
[0:09:10 – 0:09:10] Erik: Cheers.
[0:09:11 – 0:09:15] Erik: I’m so happy that we are out of this time of year, but I do appreciate the artwork.
[0:09:16 – 0:09:16] Erik: I do as well.
[0:09:16 – 0:09:17] Adam: Thank you.
[0:09:17 – 0:09:18] Adam: Thank you, Mike.
[0:09:21 – 0:09:23] Adam: Mike does the Modak hand technique.
[0:09:25 – 0:09:26] Adam: He doesn’t care.
[0:09:26 – 0:09:28] Erik: Catching six packs of IPAs?
[0:09:30 – 0:09:31] Adam: A couple extra for the staff.
[0:09:31 – 0:09:33] Adam: That’s a classy move, so thank you.
[0:09:33 – 0:09:34] Erik: Classy move.
[0:09:34 – 0:09:38] Adam: March 1st, that was… Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
[0:09:38 – 0:09:46] Erik: Just a few weeks, he probably was still… Well, I’m sure these came from a reputable liquor store.
[0:09:47 – 0:09:53] Erik: But when he had to go out and make the emergency purchase for the auxiliary crew at the co-op, he probably ended up down at the…
[0:09:54 – 0:09:55] Adam: Probably was at the Beaver House.
[0:09:55 – 0:09:57] Erik: Probably at the Beaver House, which is no more.
[0:09:58 – 0:09:59] Adam: Goodbye, Beaver House.
[0:09:59 – 0:10:01] Erik: We are all living in a futuristic…
[0:10:03 – 0:10:24] Erik: municipal liquor store world with automatic doors automatic doors that you just get confused by every time you walk in there i ran into the glass twice and i was only in there once it’s like damn they might as well put mirrors on all those because they should i feel like i’m in a fun house more stickers more do not enters or or enters and uh more more of a confusing entryway
[0:10:25 – 0:10:29] Adam: I went in there and I just yelled at the cashier, like, do you have any minnows?
[0:10:30 – 0:10:37] Adam: And I’m pretty sure it was like the city administrator was manning the cash register and was very confused.
[0:10:37 – 0:10:37] Erik: Yeah.
[0:10:38 – 0:10:39] Adam: We have beer?
[0:10:40 – 0:10:40] Erik: Question mark?
[0:10:41 – 0:10:42] Adam: No, we don’t have any minnows, though.
[0:10:43 – 0:10:44] Adam: Nobody’s got any minnows in town.
[0:10:44 – 0:10:57] Erik: I’ve never been to a liquor store that is so brand new yet is so disappointing when it comes to the way in which the cooler doors close.
[0:10:58 – 0:10:58] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:10:58 – 0:10:59] Adam: They got to get those fixed.
[0:10:59 – 0:11:00] Adam: It didn’t close.
[0:11:00 – 0:11:01] Adam: None of them close.
[0:11:01 – 0:11:03] Erik: Every time I’ve gotten in there, they’re just like three open.
[0:11:04 – 0:11:04] Erik: Yeah.
[0:11:04 – 0:11:05] Erik: Nobody’s back there.
[0:11:05 – 0:11:05] Erik: Yeah.
[0:11:05 – 0:11:07] Erik: But there’s just three open because they don’t…
[0:11:07 – 0:11:16] Erik: They’re not like… We live in a world with like the most like perfectly self-closing like cabinet drawers in the house.
[0:11:16 – 0:11:18] Erik: You know, you’re like, oh, yeah.
[0:11:18 – 0:11:18] Erik: So satisfying.
[0:11:19 – 0:11:19] Erik: The soft close.
[0:11:20 – 0:11:21] Erik: You just touch it and it closes.
[0:11:22 – 0:11:24] Erik: But you’re in like a full on… You just blow a kiss at it.
[0:11:25 – 0:11:26] Adam: It just closes.
[0:11:27 – 0:11:28] Erik: There goes my silverware closing.
[0:11:28 – 0:11:28] Erik: See?
[0:11:28 – 0:11:28] Erik: Silence.
[0:11:28 – 0:11:29] Erik: Silence.
[0:11:30 – 0:11:58] Adam: perfect but this liquor store all these cooler doors are just flapping in the breeze i noticed that as well yeah i had one uh i went over there i went ice fishing after work yesterday with josh and and i stopped in there on my lunch break to grab a few refreshments and the door did not close just gotta get those uh and they didn’t have any minnows those like screen door like uh piston things that like do that yeah install those retroactively
[0:11:58 – 0:12:01] Adam: Yeah, they’re still spooling it up, so I’ll give them some slack.
[0:12:01 – 0:12:02] Adam: I’ll give them a little time.
[0:12:02 – 0:12:07] Adam: I was managed to find a couple beers I’d never seen before at the Muni, so promising.
[0:12:07 – 0:12:10] Erik: Those have probably been sitting in the back room since they moved the first time.
[0:12:10 – 0:12:13] Adam: They’ve been sitting by the heater at the Beaver House.
[0:12:13 – 0:12:14] Erik: Yeah, baking.
[0:12:14 – 0:12:16] Erik: Nicely down in the leech room.
[0:12:17 – 0:12:17] Erik: Mmm.
[0:12:17 – 0:12:18] Erik: Mmm.
[0:12:18 – 0:12:19] Erik: Mmm, mmm.
[0:12:19 – 0:12:19] Erik: Yes.
[0:12:21 – 0:12:27] Erik: Yeah, can’t wait to get into some results from the lurnament, winnowing, winnowing, and minnowing.
[0:12:27 – 0:12:31] Adam: Before we get to that, I do have a brief snow log update, Jim.
[0:12:32 – 0:12:36] Adam: We had 10 inches at the tumble shed this week.
[0:12:36 – 0:12:38] Adam: That brings us to 70 inches only.
[0:12:38 – 0:12:40] Adam: 70 inches for the season.
[0:12:40 – 0:12:41] Adam: I’m not here for it.
[0:12:42 – 0:12:43] Erik: I’m over it.
[0:12:43 – 0:12:45] Erik: We stopped keeping track after this show.
[0:12:45 – 0:12:46] Adam: I did.
[0:12:46 – 0:12:48] Erik: Any snow that falls in April doesn’t count.
[0:12:48 – 0:12:53] Adam: Run the snow blower, and I ran the snowmobile around this week, so it counts.
[0:12:54 – 0:12:54] Erik: It’s trash.
[0:12:55 – 0:12:55] Adam: Ooh!
[0:12:56 – 0:12:59] Adam: All gas, full of grimaces.
[0:12:59 – 0:13:02] Erik: All brakes, no gas?
[0:13:03 – 0:13:06] Adam: Big purple juicy butt on the trail.
[0:13:06 – 0:13:08] Adam: One big taste bud.
[0:13:08 – 0:13:10] Adam: Bwomp, bwomp, bwomp, bwomp, bwomp, bwomp, bwomp.
[0:13:10 – 0:13:14] Adam: Yeah, that’s actually the sound that a snowmobile is making.
[0:13:15 – 0:13:19] Adam: The sound of Grimace’s ass laying it down.
[0:13:19 – 0:13:22] Erik: Yeah, just brap, slow it down.
[0:13:22 – 0:13:24] Adam: Brap, yeah, that’s what it is.
[0:13:25 – 0:13:27] Adam: It’s just like the theme song tonight.
[0:13:27 – 0:13:27] Adam: Yeah.
[0:13:28 – 0:13:30] Adam: Just slow it down enough and anything sounds amazing.
[0:13:32 – 0:13:32] Adam: Even a bwap.
[0:13:34 – 0:13:43] Adam: I don’t remember what our upset picks were, but I was listening to last week’s show on the drive over here, and I’m wondering what’s going to happen with the Hellbender.
[0:13:44 – 0:13:46] Adam: My intrigue is high for the Hellbender.
[0:13:47 – 0:13:49] Adam: I’m worried for the FZ Slim.
[0:13:52 – 0:14:01] Adam: A couple other ones, because anytime you put a lure of that caliber that people just aren’t all that familiar with up against a hilarious meme…
[0:14:04 – 0:14:06] Adam: Dangerous things can happen, but that’s why we play the games.
[0:14:06 – 0:14:08] Erik: A hilarious meme.
[0:14:09 – 0:14:13] Adam: I’m a little worried, though, for a couple of the really good lures out there.
[0:14:14 – 0:14:20] Adam: I’m basically expecting a couple real champion lures to go down tonight in the first round.
[0:14:20 – 0:14:24] Erik: Like I said, I want a mild Cinderella run here.
[0:14:24 – 0:14:25] Erik: You heard it here first, ladies and gentlemen.
[0:14:25 – 0:14:29] Adam: Yeah, it’ll be interesting to see where the homies are stacking their bets.
[0:14:29 – 0:14:30] Erik: Yeah.
[0:14:30 – 0:14:33] Erik: Before we get into it, it’s imminent now.
[0:14:33 – 0:14:35] Erik: First round coverage coming your way shortly.
[0:14:36 – 0:14:43] Erik: But we should say we are this week brought to you by our fine patrons on Patreon.
[0:14:43 – 0:14:44] Erik: Well, you would kiss patrons.
[0:14:46 – 0:14:51] Erik: Coming at you, those perfect little self-closing patrons that they are.
[0:14:51 – 0:14:52] Adam: I want to be your host.
[0:14:52 – 0:14:58] Erik: A couple of weeks off, finishing up, fully digesting and comprehending and coming to terms with the…
[0:15:01 – 0:15:02] Erik: Seventh season of Alone.
[0:15:02 – 0:15:06] Adam: I’ll let you guys touch my vests.
[0:15:06 – 0:15:07] Erik: It’s all wrapped up.
[0:15:07 – 0:15:08] Erik: Oh, it’s so shiny.
[0:15:08 – 0:15:09] Erik: Are you sure?
[0:15:09 – 0:15:10] Erik: I might get a smudge on it.
[0:15:11 – 0:15:12] Adam: We’re wrapping up the… Smudge on.
[0:15:13 – 0:15:13] Erik: Smudge on.
[0:15:15 – 0:15:22] Erik: Getting back into the cinema and the classics and cracking open.
[0:15:25 – 0:15:29] Erik: Do they christen submarines with bottles of champagne?
[0:15:29 – 0:15:29] Erik: Yeah.
[0:15:29 – 0:15:30] Adam: Hell yeah, brother.
[0:15:30 – 0:15:30] Erik: All right.
[0:15:31 – 0:15:39] Erik: Well, we’re christening the commencement of sub-month with arguably maybe one of the best submarine movies of all time.
[0:15:39 – 0:15:43] Erik: This week on TCC, Tumble Home Cinema Classics, Crimson Tide.
[0:15:43 – 0:15:47] Adam: You need to replace that light bulb in the studio with a nice red light bulb for this episode.
[0:15:47 – 0:15:52] Erik: More red, more fog, more… Big wrenches.
[0:15:53 – 0:16:00] Erik: More in-your-face racism and questionable animals on submarines.
[0:16:00 – 0:16:01] Erik: It’s coming to you this week.
[0:16:02 – 0:16:03] Erik: And it’s just the first of many.
[0:16:03 – 0:16:04] Erik: Who knows?
[0:16:06 – 0:16:09] Erik: This might just be submarine year at this point.
[0:16:10 – 0:16:13] Erik: But we’re starting with Crimson Tide.
[0:16:13 – 0:16:24] Erik: We might take a week off and go a little lighter after the one-on-one showdown that is Gene Hackman versus Denzel Washington and do Kelsey Grammer down Periscope.
[0:16:25 – 0:16:26] Erik: I believe there’s a sequel.
[0:16:27 – 0:16:29] Adam: He also has a Jack Russell Terrier on that submarine.
[0:16:29 – 0:16:32] Erik: Yeah, that’s one of the questionable animals.
[0:16:32 – 0:16:32] Erik: Why?
[0:16:32 – 0:16:33] Erik: Why?
[0:16:33 – 0:16:34] Erik: Is there a dog on a submarine?
[0:16:34 – 0:16:36] Erik: You’re down there for two months.
[0:16:36 – 0:16:37] Erik: There’s a fish tank?
[0:16:37 – 0:16:38] Adam: Yeah.
[0:16:38 – 0:16:39] Adam: There’s a fish tank.
[0:16:39 – 0:16:40] Adam: There’s a fish tank.
[0:16:40 – 0:16:41] Adam: In a submarine.
[0:16:41 – 0:16:42] Adam: Yeah.
[0:16:42 – 0:16:44] Adam: A lot of noisy stuff going on in there.
[0:16:45 – 0:16:50] Erik: Yeah, I’m sure that dog is getting a very nice restful night’s sleep.
[0:16:50 – 0:16:53] Adam: You’re not going to be worried about that winch screeching on the roof.
[0:16:53 – 0:16:57] Adam: You’re going to be worried about that Jack Russell Terrier doing wind sprints up and down the hallway.
[0:16:57 – 0:16:58] Adam: Yeah.
[0:16:58 – 0:16:59] Adam: Clickety-clacking.
[0:17:00 – 0:17:03] Adam: Old Boris is going to hear you clicking and clacking, little dog.
[0:17:03 – 0:17:04] Erik: What’s that dog’s name?
[0:17:05 – 0:17:05] Erik: Bear?
[0:17:05 – 0:17:05] Adam: Bear.
[0:17:05 – 0:17:10] Erik: If you don’t fix that radio, Bear, 10 billion people are going to die.
[0:17:12 – 0:17:12] Erik: Tune in.
[0:17:13 – 0:17:14] Erik: See if he fixes it.
[0:17:16 – 0:17:16] Erik: All right.
[0:17:16 – 0:17:19] Erik: We’re back.
[0:17:20 – 0:17:20] Adam: We’re back.
[0:17:21 – 0:17:22] Adam: It’s the learnament.
[0:17:23 – 0:17:26] Adam: Just to be clear, neither Jim nor myself has seen the results.
[0:17:27 – 0:17:31] Adam: We were able to watch some of the action, but we do not know what happened.
[0:17:31 – 0:17:33] Adam: We’re totally in the dark.
[0:17:33 – 0:17:35] Adam: We only watched the first half of games.
[0:17:35 – 0:17:37] Adam: Nothing happens in the second half.
[0:17:37 – 0:17:41] Adam: Well, that’s when everything happens, but we don’t want to be spoiled.
[0:17:41 – 0:17:43] Adam: So we’re going into this spoiled free.
[0:17:44 – 0:17:45] Erik: Spoiled free is the way to be.
[0:17:45 – 0:17:48] Adam: We’re finding out just as you’re finding out, listeners.
[0:17:48 – 0:17:49] Erik: I don’t have my notebook.
[0:17:49 – 0:17:51] Erik: Where is the first… Is this…
[0:17:54 – 0:17:54] Adam: You don’t have the notebook.
[0:17:54 – 0:17:56] Adam: We don’t have any tag board.
[0:17:57 – 0:17:58] Adam: We got to get our act together.
[0:17:58 – 0:18:03] Adam: I have to go to Ben Franklin this week and get a big piece of tag board to map this one out for the shed.
[0:18:03 – 0:18:05] Erik: And a nice straight edge.
[0:18:06 – 0:18:07] Erik: Draw those brackets on.
[0:18:08 – 0:18:09] Erik: Are we in the east to start?
[0:18:09 – 0:18:10] Erik: West.
[0:18:10 – 0:18:10] Erik: Starting in the west.
[0:18:11 – 0:18:12] Erik: Tumble, Lurnament, West.
[0:18:13 – 0:18:14] Erik: The X-Rap versus Plain.
[0:18:14 – 0:18:18] Erik: Barblos Hook in the 1 versus 16 matchup.
[0:18:18 – 0:18:21] Adam: I think we’re at that bait shop in Ore or Cook.
[0:18:22 – 0:18:22] UNKNOWN: Yeah.
[0:18:23 – 0:18:46] Erik: yeah somewhere over there that west bait shop yeah i don’t have it written down anywhere i was looking earlier i don’t have it yeah and uh no no massive upsets here obviously be a shocker although there were 12 people who thought it would be funny to vote for the plain barbless hook the x-raps clear domination 63 to 12 we are trying to help some khaki scouts here folks yeah
[0:18:47 – 0:18:53] Erik: I mean, there’s some mild meme-age is allowed, but for the most part, we are doing this for the greater good.
[0:18:54 – 0:18:55] Erik: Maybe, maybe not.
[0:18:55 – 0:19:01] Erik: But yes, it is a good thing we are trying to create.
[0:19:01 – 0:19:02] Adam: What was the score here?
[0:19:02 – 0:19:03] Erik: 63 to 12.
[0:19:03 – 0:19:03] Erik: 63 to 12.
[0:19:06 – 0:19:06] Adam: Perfect.
[0:19:06 – 0:19:14] Adam: We’ve always had the same, the committee is always in flux, but I think we have the same 80 voters for all these tournaments.
[0:19:14 – 0:19:15] Adam: Yeah, well, and we were saying before.
[0:19:15 – 0:19:19] Adam: Or six people who are going to 12 libraries every morning to try and vote.
[0:19:19 – 0:19:27] Erik: Yeah, somebody down in the metro just driving around to public libraries and logging in from a new IP address just to get their precious X-Wrap through.
[0:19:27 – 0:19:50] Adam: we eric uh when setting this up did not actually put the capture in to prove they’re human so who knows what’s gonna happen but uh yeah maybe it’s all bots yeah it’s just you and me just you me and a bunch of bots out there listening next up here in or minnesota the number eight seed top walker
[0:19:51 – 0:20:00] Adam: Going up against the Sewick Muskie Thriller, which this is a matchup of two muskie lures, it looks like.
[0:20:01 – 0:20:05] Adam: And as much as everybody can appreciate the classic, that is the Sewick Muskie Thriller.
[0:20:06 – 0:20:15] Adam: It’s a little too big for the BWCA, and that top walker’s splishy splash enticement is just too alluring.
[0:20:16 – 0:20:25] Adam: And the eight seed gets through with 48 votes on that top walker in the baby loon pattern versus 26 votes for the suic musky thriller.
[0:20:25 – 0:20:26] Adam: You’re out of here.
[0:20:27 – 0:20:28] Adam: You’re a has-been.
[0:20:28 – 0:20:36] Adam: Yeah, probably those world records that were caught on the Suic, they were stuffed full of lead pellets.
[0:20:37 – 0:20:38] Adam: Probably and never was.
[0:20:40 – 0:20:45] Adam: Top Walker, it is the lure that’s caught my biggest open water muskie and pike.
[0:20:46 – 0:20:47] Adam: That’s really saying something.
[0:20:47 – 0:20:49] Adam: And I still have that lure.
[0:20:49 – 0:20:52] Adam: So I’m happy to see that Topwater could get through.
[0:20:52 – 0:20:55] Adam: Topwater versus the X-Wrap here coming up in round two.
[0:20:55 – 0:20:56] Adam: That’s very intriguing.
[0:20:57 – 0:20:58] Erik: The allurement.
[0:20:59 – 0:21:00] Erik: I’m so allured.
[0:21:01 – 0:21:05] Erik: We got a 12 versus 5 matchup.
[0:21:06 – 0:21:07] Erik: Moving down.
[0:21:09 – 0:21:09] SPEAKER_00: Oh, no.
[0:21:12 – 0:21:15] Adam: Looks like we are… My premonition was ill-advised.
[0:21:15 – 0:21:18] Erik: We are still talking chalk.
[0:21:19 – 0:21:27] Erik: The third matchup, the number five Meps, number five Double Blade going up against the hidden Magnum Hellbender.
[0:21:29 – 0:21:30] Erik: Not very close.
[0:21:30 – 0:21:35] Erik: Pretty close to the one versus 16 matchup in score 62 to 13.
[0:21:35 – 0:21:37] Adam: Hell has not been bent.
[0:21:37 – 0:21:38] Adam: Hell is smooth.
[0:21:38 – 0:21:44] Erik: Hell has been, yes, hell has been smoothed out by the number five double blade.
[0:21:45 – 0:21:47] Erik: Meps is moving on into the second round.
[0:21:47 – 0:21:49] Adam: Quote Wilco, hell is chrome.
[0:21:49 – 0:21:51] Adam: Hell is Chrome.
[0:21:51 – 0:21:52] Adam: There.
[0:21:52 – 0:21:54] Adam: It’s one of my all-time favorite songs.
[0:21:54 – 0:21:56] Adam: Goodbye, Head and Magnum Hellbender.
[0:21:56 – 0:21:57] Adam: Goodbye.
[0:21:57 – 0:22:07] Adam: A good friend of the show, Chinwhisker Charles, caught a huge walleye on a five-meps double out on Swan Lake at like noon-o-two.
[0:22:09 – 0:22:12] Adam: And hooked it and said, it’s a huge walleye.
[0:22:12 – 0:22:14] Adam: I said, no, it’s not.
[0:22:14 – 0:22:14] Adam: And then I saw it.
[0:22:14 – 0:22:17] Adam: I was like, oh, it is.
[0:22:17 – 0:22:18] Adam: Turns out he was right.
[0:22:19 – 0:22:21] Adam: That lure is doing magical things.
[0:22:21 – 0:22:22] Adam: Catching walleyes on a spinner.
[0:22:23 – 0:22:25] Adam: Never thought so, but there you go.
[0:22:27 – 0:22:28] Adam: Oh, here we go.
[0:22:29 – 0:22:29] Adam: Here we go, Jim.
[0:22:30 – 0:22:33] Adam: In the 4-13 matchup, we have a…
[0:22:33 – 0:22:35] Adam: It was close, but we have our first upset.
[0:22:37 – 0:22:44] Adam: The number 13 seed, Tiny Panther Martin, has gotten through with 40 votes against the Rebel Poppar.
[0:22:45 – 0:22:46] Erik: The popper goes down.
[0:22:46 – 0:22:47] Adam: Popper down.
[0:22:47 – 0:22:51] Adam: 35 votes for the Rebel Popper.
[0:22:51 – 0:22:53] Adam: That four seed is out.
[0:22:53 – 0:22:55] Adam: That 13 seed Panther Martin.
[0:22:55 – 0:23:02] Adam: I knew that was too low for that Panther Martin, but that’s just the way the brackets had to be built.
[0:23:02 – 0:23:04] Erik: What’s the Panther Martin again?
[0:23:04 – 0:23:13] Adam: The Panther Martin is the little tiny spinner with the offset willow blade, which even if you’re pulling it with the current and fast current, it will still spin.
[0:23:14 – 0:23:23] Adam: It’s a really good stream fishing lure, but it would also be really good in a variety of applications in the BWCA.
[0:23:23 – 0:23:26] Adam: So it’s in the small tin tingler category.
[0:23:26 – 0:23:27] Adam: Potentially got the…
[0:23:27 – 0:23:28] Adam: It’s a teensy tingler.
[0:23:28 – 0:23:34] Erik: Yeah, potentially got the advertising dollars behind it this week from Cheap Dancer.
[0:23:34 – 0:23:35] Erik: Oh, right.
[0:23:35 – 0:23:40] Erik: We did see some panther musk or whatever.
[0:23:40 – 0:23:41] Erik: True enough.
[0:23:41 – 0:23:42] Erik: True enough.
[0:23:42 – 0:23:52] Adam: So that sets up a very intriguing matchup of two huge blades from the Mets versus one tiny blade for the Panther Martin in what will be a 5 versus 13 matchup.
[0:23:53 – 0:23:55] Adam: Somehow people are already voting in this.
[0:23:55 – 0:23:55] SPEAKER_00: That’s right.
[0:23:56 – 0:23:56] Erik: It’s up.
[0:23:56 – 0:23:58] Erik: Second round voting is up and open.
[0:23:58 – 0:23:58] Erik: Oh my gosh.
[0:23:58 – 0:24:02] Erik: This round ended about 12 hours ago now.
[0:24:02 – 0:24:24] Adam: it’ll be up until i can’t imagine going and voting before the coverage from round one has been completed but it’s available for those of you who are that hardcore yeah keep it up keep it up yeah we’re not gonna criticize uh we’re only gonna praise some people need a kick in the ass some people most people just need a pat on the back eric
[0:24:25 – 0:24:26] Erik: Double pat.
[0:24:26 – 0:24:27] Erik: A double hard pat.
[0:24:27 – 0:24:30] Erik: Two, three blades worth of pats on the back.
[0:24:30 – 0:24:30] Erik: Exactly.
[0:24:30 – 0:24:31] Erik: It was close.
[0:24:31 – 0:24:32] Erik: 40 to 35.
[0:24:32 – 0:24:35] Erik: Love to see Panther Martin moving on.
[0:24:36 – 0:24:40] Erik: We’ve got another potential upset here.
[0:24:41 – 0:24:41] Erik: Oh, no.
[0:24:41 – 0:24:43] Erik: Six versus 11.
[0:24:44 – 0:24:48] Erik: The Clouser minnow in a six seed out of the…
[0:24:48 – 0:24:49] Erik: The Ticklebugs.
[0:24:49 – 0:24:53] Erik: The Ticklebugs conference does, in fact, go down…
[0:24:53 – 0:24:54] Erik: You got plucked.
[0:24:54 – 0:24:56] Erik: To the 11 seed Red Eye Wiggler.
[0:24:56 – 0:25:04] Erik: There was some controversy this week in terms of the differences between the Eppinger Daredevil and the Red Eye Wiggler.
[0:25:04 – 0:25:06] Adam: I feel like we explained it perfectly last week.
[0:25:06 – 0:25:08] Adam: Clearly people didn’t listen to the show.
[0:25:08 – 0:25:10] Erik: It’s got beads for eyes.
[0:25:11 – 0:25:16] Adam: There’s a lot of questions being asked this week that would have been answered had you just listened to the show.
[0:25:16 – 0:25:18] Adam: I don’t know what’s going on out there right now.
[0:25:18 – 0:25:22] Adam: But the red-eyed wiggler is clearly different from the daredevil.
[0:25:22 – 0:25:23] Adam: It’s got beaded eyes.
[0:25:24 – 0:25:25] Adam: It’s got beaded eyes.
[0:25:25 – 0:25:28] Adam: Callie wired him in herself using snare wire.
[0:25:28 – 0:25:29] Erik: Yep.
[0:25:29 – 0:25:32] Erik: I mean, we throw a lot of information out there to the listeners.
[0:25:33 – 0:25:36] Erik: I can’t criticize him too much for missing out on every individual detail.
[0:25:36 – 0:25:40] Adam: Looks like the mothman hovering and fluttering over a weed bed.
[0:25:40 – 0:25:40] Erik: Yeah.
[0:25:41 – 0:25:44] Erik: The 11 seed Red Eye Wigglers threw 44 to 27.
[0:25:45 – 0:25:53] Adam: I feel like there is a lot of gripes on the internet this week about the lack of enough tickle bugs being making into the final bracket.
[0:25:54 – 0:25:58] Adam: But doesn’t seem like the Clouser Minnow had that much support.
[0:25:58 – 0:25:58] Erik: Yeah.
[0:25:59 – 0:26:12] Adam: I’m not saying that there’s not something to the tickle bugs, but I just don’t feel like it’s in our wheelhouse, and it’s on the fringe yet for BWCA fishing techniques, but it is one that I am thoroughly intrigued by.
[0:26:13 – 0:26:17] Adam: But the cluster manner goes down to the red-eye wiggler.
[0:26:18 – 0:26:19] Adam: Piercing gaze.
[0:26:19 – 0:26:21] Erik: Piercing gaze.
[0:26:21 – 0:26:21] Erik: Who knows?
[0:26:21 – 0:26:22] Erik: Do those beads spin?
[0:26:23 – 0:26:30] Adam: A bridge in Cook, Minnesota just collapsed after somebody saw those red eyes in the night.
[0:26:31 – 0:26:33] Adam: Back-to-back upsets.
[0:26:33 – 0:26:33] Adam: Now we’re on.
[0:26:34 – 0:26:34] Adam: Now we’re on.
[0:26:34 – 0:26:35] Adam: 11th seed is through.
[0:26:35 – 0:26:36] Adam: Red-eyed Wigla.
[0:26:38 – 0:26:51] Adam: Next up, it’s the MEP Cyclops, the 3-seed versus the 14-seed Zulu rig with all 19 of their barrel swivels and hashtag international waters technique.
[0:26:51 – 0:26:53] Adam: And they are going down.
[0:26:53 – 0:26:55] Adam: They were busted and or snagged up.
[0:26:55 – 0:26:58] Erik: The swarming offense just wasn’t enough.
[0:26:58 – 0:26:58] Adam: It wasn’t enough.
[0:26:59 – 0:27:01] Adam: It’s all offense and zero defense from the Zulu rig.
[0:27:01 – 0:27:03] Adam: And the Mep Cyclops got through.
[0:27:03 – 0:27:05] Adam: And there’s another one.
[0:27:05 – 0:27:10] Adam: It’s the Red Eye Wiggler versus the Single Eyed Mep Cyclops.
[0:27:10 – 0:27:11] Adam: And that’s two Meps through.
[0:27:12 – 0:27:17] Adam: It’s the eyeball matchup coming up next week with the 11 versus the 3 matchup.
[0:27:18 – 0:27:20] Adam: Oh my goodness, watch out for that one.
[0:27:20 – 0:27:33] Adam: We had 49 votes for the Meps Cyclops and just 24 votes for the Zulu Rig, which is a pretty good showing for a 14 seed there in Cook, Minnesota.
[0:27:33 – 0:27:36] Erik: All eyes on that second round matchup, literally.
[0:27:36 – 0:27:39] Adam: Yeah, that one’s going to be hot and electric.
[0:27:40 – 0:27:40] Adam: Can’t wait.
[0:27:41 – 0:27:43] Adam: And we’re moving into our final set of rat.
[0:27:43 – 0:27:44] Adam: Oh, my.
[0:27:44 – 0:27:46] Erik: Oh, moving on to the 7-10 matchup.
[0:27:46 – 0:27:49] Erik: This seven seed Skerritt’s Nymph.
[0:27:49 – 0:27:51] Erik: Little known Skerritt’s Nymph.
[0:27:51 – 0:27:55] Erik: Nobody really can place this team, where they come from, what it looks like.
[0:27:57 – 0:27:59] Erik: But everybody’s haunted by it.
[0:28:00 – 0:28:00] Adam: They are haunted.
[0:28:01 – 0:28:02] Erik: But not even close.
[0:28:03 – 0:28:07] Erik: The seventh seed not making much of an appearance up against the ten rattle trap.
[0:28:08 – 0:28:09] Adam: Top water.
[0:28:09 – 0:28:11] Adam: Your mother was up all night worried sick.
[0:28:13 – 0:28:16] Adam: You will repay every cent of that damaged rowboat, boys.
[0:28:17 – 0:28:17] Adam: Ten.
[0:28:18 – 0:28:19] Adam: Rattletrap.
[0:28:19 – 0:28:19] Adam: Threw.
[0:28:19 – 0:28:25] Adam: The Rattletrap annoyed the hell out of the preacher, and he didn’t bite.
[0:28:25 – 0:28:27] Adam: Scarrett’s gone home.
[0:28:28 – 0:28:29] Adam: Pack it up, Tom.
[0:28:30 – 0:28:30] Adam: Season’s over.
[0:28:31 – 0:28:33] Adam: Only 15 votes for the…
[0:28:33 – 0:28:41] Adam: So the tickle bug crowd on the internet is real feathery and noisy, but when it comes to voting, they don’t show up.
[0:28:42 – 0:28:44] Adam: That’s what we’ve learned so far tonight.
[0:28:44 – 0:28:44] Erik: Sure have.
[0:28:45 – 0:28:47] Adam: Final matchup here out in Cook, Minnesota.
[0:28:47 – 0:28:52] Adam: It’s the Senko worm blasting through and gyrating and blasting.
[0:28:52 – 0:28:56] Adam: Bringing home the meat for the family.
[0:28:56 – 0:29:03] Adam: Eric’s got his family of six to seven orphans in a campsite, and he’s feeding them bass tonight off that Senko worm.
[0:29:03 – 0:29:04] Adam: You can catch them.
[0:29:04 – 0:29:04] Adam: You can cook them.
[0:29:06 – 0:29:06] Adam: And you can wiggle them.
[0:29:07 – 0:29:09] Adam: 53 votes for the number two seed Senko worm.
[0:29:10 – 0:29:12] Adam: And no surprise here.
[0:29:12 – 0:29:15] Adam: The 15 seed bobber stop bead got 19 votes.
[0:29:15 – 0:29:16] Adam: God.
[0:29:17 – 0:29:24] Adam: Even though they somehow won the Terminal Tackle Conference Championship, they were no match for the Sanko Worm.
[0:29:24 – 0:29:28] Erik: They just do a lot of passing, not too much shooting.
[0:29:29 – 0:29:33] Adam: Zero casts and zero shot attempts somehow in the second half.
[0:29:33 – 0:29:34] Erik: Don’t know how that works.
[0:29:34 – 0:29:34] Adam: Yeah.
[0:29:35 – 0:29:38] Adam: They’re just passing and incurring lots of time penalties.
[0:29:39 – 0:29:40] Adam: Over and backs.
[0:29:40 – 0:29:41] Adam: Yeah.
[0:29:41 – 0:29:42] Adam: Ten second penalties.
[0:29:42 – 0:29:44] Adam: Three seconds in the paint.
[0:29:44 – 0:29:45] Erik: Lots of shot clock violations.
[0:29:45 – 0:29:49] Adam: They just got snagged up in the paint a lot.
[0:29:49 – 0:29:50] SPEAKER_00: You’re holding the ball.
[0:29:50 – 0:29:51] SPEAKER_00: Shoot it.
[0:29:51 – 0:29:52] SPEAKER_00: Shoot it.
[0:29:52 – 0:29:53] SPEAKER_00: Shoot it.
[0:29:54 – 0:29:57] Adam: Meanwhile, the Senko worm is just dancing gracefully in the corner.
[0:29:57 – 0:29:58] Adam: Just wiggling in the corner.
[0:29:58 – 0:29:59] Adam: Just wiggling and waiting.
[0:29:59 – 0:29:59] Erik: Yeah.
[0:30:00 – 0:30:01] Erik: They got a deep bench, the Senko worms.
[0:30:02 – 0:30:03] Erik: You lose 10.
[0:30:03 – 0:30:04] Erik: You got a 20 pack.
[0:30:04 – 0:30:09] Erik: Yeah, you’ll lose 10 to 15 of them and you’ll still come home with dinner.
[0:30:09 – 0:30:10] Adam: Great job, Senko.
[0:30:10 – 0:30:11] Adam: Yeah.
[0:30:11 – 0:30:11] Adam: You’ve done it.
[0:30:12 – 0:30:15] Adam: Moving down to… Do you know what bracket this is?
[0:30:16 – 0:30:18] Adam: I’m going to say this is the Atacocan bracket.
[0:30:19 – 0:30:20] Erik: Uh…
[0:30:22 – 0:30:28] Adam: Looks like we moved up to Voyager Bait and Tackle in Atacocca, Ontario here for the North Bracket.
[0:30:28 – 0:30:30] Adam: Yes.
[0:30:31 – 0:30:32] Erik: Back to the one versus 16.
[0:30:33 – 0:30:34] Adam: It’s a battle of spoons.
[0:30:34 – 0:30:35] Erik: A spoon battle.
[0:30:35 – 0:30:37] Erik: One mythical, one real.
[0:30:37 – 0:30:39] Erik: The little Cleo has a one seed.
[0:30:40 – 0:30:42] Adam: Amos’ handmade tin spoon was real.
[0:30:43 – 0:30:43] Adam: Yeah, well.
[0:30:43 – 0:30:47] Adam: But it’s not available to the public.
[0:30:47 – 0:30:48] Adam: It’s mythical.
[0:30:48 – 0:30:50] Adam: Not available to anyone, really.
[0:30:50 – 0:30:51] Erik: Yeah.
[0:30:51 – 0:30:53] Erik: It maybe even burned in that fire.
[0:30:54 – 0:30:56] Erik: It may be not even available to Amos anymore.
[0:30:56 – 0:30:57] Erik: It’s not available anymore.
[0:30:59 – 0:31:01] Erik: Of course, the one seed.
[0:31:01 – 0:31:03] Erik: Little Cleo’s moving on with 60 votes.
[0:31:05 – 0:31:18] Erik: Dismantling, hammering the spoon into a flat piece of tin is even more useless than it was at Amos’ hand-lined spoon out on Great Slave Lake.
[0:31:19 – 0:31:20] Erik: 14 votes going down.
[0:31:20 – 0:31:27] Erik: The little Cleos move on to the second round to take on the winner of the 8-9 seed coming up.
[0:31:29 – 0:31:33] Adam: 8-9, and we got the Beatles spin through as a 9 seed with 55 votes.
[0:31:34 – 0:31:38] Adam: Nobody, and I’m talking nobody, wanted anything to do with that Bulldog.
[0:31:38 – 0:31:45] Adam: People are scared and intimidated by the large, rubberized, sucker-looking Bulldog…
[0:31:46 – 0:31:48] Adam: Eight seed, only got 14 votes.
[0:31:48 – 0:31:49] Adam: Too much lure.
[0:31:49 – 0:31:50] Adam: That’s just too much lure.
[0:31:51 – 0:31:54] Adam: You can’t handle that sort of thing when fishing in a Min 2.
[0:31:54 – 0:31:56] Erik: I don’t want what is going to bite on that.
[0:31:57 – 0:31:59] Erik: I don’t want to have anything to do with it.
[0:31:59 – 0:32:03] Adam: Yeah, it’ll pull your boat around the lake a few laps.
[0:32:03 – 0:32:03] Erik: Yeah.
[0:32:04 – 0:32:09] Adam: It might take you down to 1,850 feet, and that is hull crush depth for any Min 2.
[0:32:10 – 0:32:10] Erik: Zero bubble.
[0:32:12 – 0:32:13] Erik: Close the ballast tanks, Frank.
[0:32:15 – 0:32:16] Adam: Close them.
[0:32:16 – 0:32:17] Adam: The beetle spin is through.
[0:32:18 – 0:32:19] Adam: Flashy game.
[0:32:19 – 0:32:20] Adam: Efficient game.
[0:32:21 – 0:32:22] Adam: Deadly.
[0:32:22 – 0:32:28] Adam: My friend the warden down in northern Wisconsin there would love that the beetle spin is through.
[0:32:28 – 0:32:31] Adam: And he’d probably be a little salty that it’s only a nine seed.
[0:32:32 – 0:32:33] Adam: Good job by the voters there.
[0:32:33 – 0:32:34] Adam: I think that’s a good call.
[0:32:34 – 0:32:36] Erik: You got to just not look at yourself.
[0:32:36 – 0:32:41] Erik: If you’re a team as your seed or your rank, just play the game.
[0:32:41 – 0:32:42] Adam: Bulldog is through.
[0:32:42 – 0:32:48] Adam: If you want to help combat male loneliness, though, just go up to a random dude in the street and just call him Big Dog.
[0:32:48 – 0:32:49] Erik: Hey, Big Dog.
[0:32:49 – 0:32:49] Adam: Hey, Big Dog.
[0:32:49 – 0:32:51] Adam: You’re going to make that guy’s month, if not year.
[0:32:52 – 0:32:56] Erik: Yeah, and then cut to 45 minutes later and you’re involved in some kind of a shady back alley drug deal.
[0:32:58 – 0:32:59] Erik: Moving on.
[0:32:59 – 0:33:00] Adam: For masculinity.
[0:33:00 – 0:33:01] Erik: For masculinity.
[0:33:01 – 0:33:03] Erik: A five versus 12 matchup.
[0:33:03 – 0:33:14] Erik: We’ve got the flashy five seed jointed shad wrap going up against grandpa’s Smithwick’s devil horse.
[0:33:14 – 0:33:16] Erik: That’s a blade in the front.
[0:33:16 – 0:33:17] Erik: Blade in the back.
[0:33:17 – 0:33:18] Erik: Can we get any more blades?
[0:33:18 – 0:33:19] Erik: No, we can’t.
[0:33:19 – 0:33:20] Erik: Only two blades.
[0:33:21 – 0:33:22] Erik: And two blades is not going to cut it.
[0:33:22 – 0:33:25] Adam: Everyone knows the Smithwick devil horse is from Portugal.
[0:33:26 – 0:33:27] Adam: Everybody knows that.
[0:33:27 – 0:33:28] Adam: They’re born white.
[0:33:28 – 0:33:29] Adam: They turn black.
[0:33:29 – 0:33:30] Erik: And they’re going down.
[0:33:31 – 0:33:33] Adam: They’re going down deep like a hull breach.
[0:33:33 – 0:33:35] Erik: Jointed shad wrap.
[0:33:35 – 0:33:36] Erik: Moves on.
[0:33:36 – 0:33:43] Adam: I think the Smithrix double horse looks most like the USS Alabama of any lure in this year’s learnament.
[0:33:43 – 0:33:44] Erik: That’s true, actually, yeah.
[0:33:44 – 0:33:48] Erik: I didn’t really even think about it until today when I was really…
[0:33:48 – 0:33:50] Erik: Watching that big propeller spin?
[0:33:50 – 0:33:58] Erik: I was like, yeah, wow, sub-month does seem to be oddly prescient for… At the same time as doing the lunar mission.
[0:33:59 – 0:34:08] Adam: The Smithwick’s Devil Horse has 24 nuclear ballistic missiles in its own individual silos with five warheads per piece.
[0:34:08 – 0:34:10] Erik: Yeah, they just didn’t choose the right silos to shoot missiles on.
[0:34:10 – 0:34:13] Adam: They didn’t authenticate their launch strike orders at all.
[0:34:14 – 0:34:14] Adam: No.
[0:34:14 – 0:34:16] Adam: So, therefore, they caught no fish.
[0:34:16 – 0:34:17] Erik: I concur.
[0:34:17 – 0:34:18] Adam: I concur.
[0:34:20 – 0:34:20] Erik: I also concur.
[0:34:20 – 0:34:23] Erik: The jointed shatrap moves on.
[0:34:23 – 0:34:27] Adam: This appears to be a legitimate launch code.
[0:34:27 – 0:34:28] Erik: This appears to be a legitimate result.
[0:34:29 – 0:34:33] Adam: This is a legitimate result, and the jointed shad wrap is through, thankfully.
[0:34:33 – 0:34:34] Erik: 60 to 10.
[0:34:34 – 0:34:35] Adam: All right, we’re through.
[0:34:36 – 0:34:38] Adam: And the jointed shad wrap will face…
[0:34:39 – 0:34:43] Adam: The 4-seed Johnson Silver Minnow with a single hook.
[0:34:43 – 0:34:47] Adam: And you can drag that thing through the mat and it will come out clean.
[0:34:48 – 0:34:53] Adam: And there’s probably a few people weeping right now as we’re reading this result.
[0:34:53 – 0:35:01] Adam: Because if you know the Johnson Silver Minnow is through, that means that the 13-seed Banjo Minnow, the dream is dead.
[0:35:02 – 0:35:09] Adam: All 512 pieces have been thrown to the recycling center or donated to a thrift store somewhere.
[0:35:09 – 0:35:18] Erik: Yeah, all of the lures that were dug up from a landfill that had been there for 20 years are now going back to the landfill that they came from.
[0:35:19 – 0:35:19] Erik: Sorry, Banjo Minnow.
[0:35:19 – 0:35:20] Erik: We tried.
[0:35:20 – 0:35:23] Adam: Johnson Silver Minnow, though, an all-time classic.
[0:35:23 – 0:35:30] Adam: And that one came highly touted by the committee and was represented by its four seed.
[0:35:30 – 0:35:33] Adam: So really interesting matchup there.
[0:35:33 – 0:35:35] Adam: The four versus five.
[0:35:35 – 0:35:37] Adam: Jointed Shadrap versus the Johnson Silver Minnow.
[0:35:39 – 0:35:39] Adam: Don’t get it twisted.
[0:35:39 – 0:35:43] Adam: You’re going to want to definitely employ a large barrel swivel.
[0:35:43 – 0:35:45] Adam: Swivel for both of thems.
[0:35:45 – 0:35:47] Erik: No Zulu rigs for these guys.
[0:35:49 – 0:35:50] Erik: Moving on.
[0:35:51 – 0:35:52] Erik: Down to the 6-11 matchup.
[0:35:54 – 0:35:59] Erik: We’ve got the Berkeley Chapo going up against the Triple D Pattern 43.
[0:36:01 – 0:36:05] Erik: I don’t know what either of these are, but the Berkeley Chapo moves on.
[0:36:06 – 0:36:10] Adam: The Berkeley Chapo thoroughly deserves this victory, I will say, Jim.
[0:36:12 – 0:36:23] Adam: However, I will be posting a picture of my triple D pattern 43 filled with teeth marks who has caught multiple 40-inch northern pike out of the Boundary Waters area.
[0:36:24 – 0:36:29] Adam: I’m sad to see it go, but I think most of the voters are frankly intimidated by large baits.
[0:36:30 – 0:36:32] Adam: That’s the pattern I’m seeing here.
[0:36:32 – 0:36:33] Adam: It’s not a pattern 43.
[0:36:33 – 0:36:35] Adam: It’s a pattern fiery three.
[0:36:36 – 0:36:40] Adam: They’re filled with fear of the large lure and would rather not mess with it.
[0:36:40 – 0:36:42] Adam: I think it’s what you said about the bulldog.
[0:36:43 – 0:36:43] Erik: Too much.
[0:36:43 – 0:36:44] Adam: Yeah.
[0:36:44 – 0:36:48] Adam: If something actually bites on that, am I equipped to handle this in a canoe?
[0:36:48 – 0:36:52] Erik: Also, I have no idea what Triple D Pattern 43 means or is.
[0:36:52 – 0:36:53] Adam: It’s huge.
[0:36:53 – 0:36:54] Adam: I will be posting a picture.
[0:36:55 – 0:36:55] Erik: It’s huge.
[0:36:55 – 0:37:00] Adam: It’s too big to be fishing out of a canoe, admittedly, but it does get results.
[0:37:01 – 0:37:05] Adam: I’m sad to see only 15 other people join me in voting.
[0:37:05 – 0:37:07] Adam: One of those is yours?
[0:37:07 – 0:37:08] Adam: One of those is mine.
[0:37:08 – 0:37:13] Adam: I did go and vote, and I only did vote once, as is my gift.
[0:37:14 – 0:37:18] Adam: God-given right as a host here at Tumble Home Sports Network.
[0:37:19 – 0:37:23] Adam: I’m putting on an extra vest around my heart right now because it hurts.
[0:37:23 – 0:37:29] Erik: Yeah, even the presidential hopefuls or incumbents get to vote.
[0:37:29 – 0:37:30] Erik: They get one.
[0:37:31 – 0:37:31] Adam: That’s right.
[0:37:33 – 0:37:34] Adam: Was that one yours?
[0:37:34 – 0:37:35] Adam: I’m going next.
[0:37:35 – 0:37:36] Adam: All right.
[0:37:36 – 0:37:39] Adam: Coming up, who’s going to take on the Chapo?
[0:37:39 – 0:37:39] Adam: Who?
[0:37:40 – 0:37:40] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:37:40 – 0:37:41] Erik: Tournament favorite here.
[0:37:42 – 0:37:42] Adam: It’s good.
[0:37:42 – 0:37:45] Adam: The Blue Fox Vibrax is through.
[0:37:45 – 0:37:50] Adam: It’s another spinner through into the second round as the three seed with 54 votes.
[0:37:52 – 0:37:58] Adam: Going in there against the Chapo, and I think there’s a lot of folks, a lot of folks are hyped for the Vibrax.
[0:37:59 – 0:38:03] Adam: And thankfully, it takes out the MODAC hand technique as a 14 seed.
[0:38:04 – 0:38:07] Adam: Upon further review, it might not even be a legal technique.
[0:38:09 – 0:38:11] Adam: But that’s not for us to argue.
[0:38:11 – 0:38:18] Adam: I’m not a conservation officer nor a natural resources attorney, and we will not have to litigate this issue further.
[0:38:18 – 0:38:19] Adam: Thank goodness.
[0:38:20 – 0:38:22] Erik: A natural resources attorney.
[0:38:22 – 0:38:24] Erik: That you are not.
[0:38:24 – 0:38:26] Adam: I’m not any kind of attorney.
[0:38:26 – 0:38:31] Adam: Just to be clear, we have very good attorneys that we hire on behalf of Tumble Home, and I am not one of them.
[0:38:32 – 0:38:33] Erik: Who are our attorneys again?
[0:38:33 – 0:38:35] Adam: Oh, we have several.
[0:38:35 – 0:38:35] Adam: Uh…
[0:38:37 – 0:38:39] Erik: As long as we have numerous.
[0:38:39 – 0:38:42] Adam: We got different kinds of attorneys for different situations.
[0:38:42 – 0:38:43] Erik: Sure.
[0:38:44 – 0:38:47] Adam: Trevor’s got the Rolodex handy as needed.
[0:38:47 – 0:38:51] Adam: Yeah, we’re well- Depending on what kind of trouble we’re in that week.
[0:38:52 – 0:38:57] Erik: We are well-traveled in litigious roads and dealings.
[0:38:58 – 0:39:01] Adam: We are owed a few favors as well, which is nice to have that in your back pocket.
[0:39:01 – 0:39:03] Erik: Yeah, I don’t know about that.
[0:39:03 – 0:39:06] Adam: That’s the kind of legal representation you want on your side.
[0:39:06 – 0:39:15] Erik: Favors as a youth or a teen are always fun to get repaid, but favors as an adult, usually there’s some shady dealings going on with favors.
[0:39:15 – 0:39:21] Adam: If you’re working on favors, you’re probably not the brightest attorney in the shed.
[0:39:24 – 0:39:26] Adam: What kind of luminosity does your attorney have?
[0:39:27 – 0:39:30] Adam: Well, probably not as much as a blue fox vibrax, that’s for sure.
[0:39:31 – 0:39:35] Erik: A nice slaughtering for the Blue Fox Vibraxes.
[0:39:36 – 0:39:38] Adam: They got 54 fish, yeah.
[0:39:38 – 0:39:38] Adam: Not bad.
[0:39:38 – 0:39:43] Erik: Might be the best team name going for themselves in the second round here.
[0:39:43 – 0:39:44] Erik: Moving on.
[0:39:46 – 0:39:47] Erik: The 7 versus 10 matchup.
[0:39:47 – 0:39:48] Erik: Oh, this is the closest one yet?
[0:39:48 – 0:39:50] Erik: Closest one yet.
[0:39:50 – 0:39:55] Erik: We’ve got the 7 heading frog bait going up against the Lazy Ikes.
[0:39:55 – 0:40:15] Erik: i’m so sad the uh the cutest lure in the tournament is is out 10 seed lazy ike’s moving on by three fish cuteness doesn’t does little for the voters 37 to 34 old school bait moving on the lazy ike it’s almost like they weren’t trying when they designed it but it somehow works
[0:40:16 – 0:40:20] Adam: And the only way it works is by trolling, which is the laziest form of fishing.
[0:40:21 – 0:40:26] Adam: Well, except for… Bobber fishing, which isn’t allowed in this tournament.
[0:40:26 – 0:40:26] Adam: No.
[0:40:26 – 0:40:27] Adam: Yeah.
[0:40:27 – 0:40:29] Adam: Laziest form of lure fishing.
[0:40:29 – 0:40:31] Erik: Laziest form of lure fishing for sure.
[0:40:31 – 0:40:31] Erik: Yes.
[0:40:31 – 0:40:37] Adam: Lazily paddling a lazy hike around the thermocline at 1.2 miles per hour.
[0:40:37 – 0:40:37] Adam: Yeah.
[0:40:39 – 0:40:41] Adam: Well, congratulations to Lazy Ike.
[0:40:41 – 0:40:42] Adam: I am mad.
[0:40:42 – 0:40:50] Adam: I cannot hide my disdain for this vote, as the head-on frog bait was so cute and so lethal.
[0:40:50 – 0:40:53] Adam: I cannot believe the voters have bounced it already.
[0:40:53 – 0:40:55] Adam: It’s cut off.
[0:40:55 – 0:40:59] Adam: It’s in a lily pad somehow, and there’s very few lily pads out there.
[0:40:59 – 0:41:01] Adam: What are we on, Kawishui Lake?
[0:41:03 – 0:41:05] Adam: We must be on square or basketong.
[0:41:05 – 0:41:06] Adam: This is sad.
[0:41:07 – 0:41:10] Adam: And it’s going up against, the Lazy Ike is going up against the Husky Jerk.
[0:41:10 – 0:41:23] Adam: That two seed, there’s no way it was going to get bounced by the spotted porcupine liver, although 10 voters decided that the diseased porcupine liver was a good bait to recommend to Boy Scouts.
[0:41:24 – 0:41:26] Adam: Thank you for taking the tournament seriously.
[0:41:27 – 0:41:28] Adam: The Husky Jerk is…
[0:41:30 – 0:41:36] Adam: Honestly, I’m surprised the Husky Jerk’s a two seed, but there’s only so many one seeds to go around, Jim.
[0:41:36 – 0:41:40] Adam: A very strong two with 62 votes going up against that Lazy Ike.
[0:41:41 – 0:41:46] Adam: The Lazy Ike barely got past that cute frog, so I find it hard to believe they’re going to put up a fight.
[0:41:46 – 0:41:47] Adam: But we’ll see.
[0:41:48 – 0:41:51] Adam: Yeah, we’ve got one husky jerks out there doing good things.
[0:41:51 – 0:41:56] Adam: But that Lazy Egg’s working the deep column down there by that thermocline.
[0:41:56 – 0:42:02] Adam: So who knows what they will be able to lure up from the depths.
[0:42:02 – 0:42:10] Erik: Yeah, I would be shocked if I didn’t see a sweet blue fox vibrax versus husky jerk sweet 16 matchup next week.
[0:42:10 – 0:42:13] Adam: But the way these work is each vote is a fish caught per lure.
[0:42:14 – 0:42:20] Adam: So, I mean, but a big fish lured up from the depths can count upwards of like 10 to 15 fish just for that one.
[0:42:20 – 0:42:24] Adam: So it’s all none of it actually makes any sense.
[0:42:24 – 0:42:28] Adam: But like one big fish on the lazy, I could dethrone the husky jerk in theory.
[0:42:29 – 0:42:32] Erik: Yeah, none of it does make sense, that is for sure.
[0:42:33 – 0:42:42] Adam: Yeah, I mean, you can pile up a lot of little fish, you know, like you’re the Panther Martin, but you could also just go for one big fish, and that could be enough to get you through to the next round.
[0:42:43 – 0:42:44] Erik: Could be enough.
[0:42:45 – 0:42:46] Erik: Moving on to the East.
[0:42:48 – 0:42:53] Adam: Out of the Beaver House in Grand Marais, Minnesota.
[0:42:53 – 0:42:54] Erik: They’re now empty.
[0:42:54 – 0:42:56] Erik: There’s not even a can of booze in there anymore.
[0:42:56 – 0:42:58] Erik: Who knows what’s going on?
[0:42:58 – 0:43:02] Adam: I just saw one candlestick floating around through the ether.
[0:43:03 – 0:43:04] Erik: Nobody was holding it.
[0:43:05 – 0:43:06] Erik: It was just there.
[0:43:08 – 0:43:14] Erik: One versus 16, everybody was, you know, memeing it up, maybe talking big things, but there is no chance.
[0:43:15 – 0:43:17] Erik: The number one MEPs, Anglia.
[0:43:17 – 0:43:19] Erik: Number three, clubs.
[0:43:20 – 0:43:21] Erik: The clubbing stick.
[0:43:22 – 0:43:24] Erik: The clubbing stick takes a clubbing of its own.
[0:43:25 – 0:43:28] Adam: Now, in the regulations, there was nothing against clubbing a fish.
[0:43:29 – 0:43:33] Adam: It’s not odd to noodle a fish, but you can club a fish if you want.
[0:43:33 – 0:43:41] Erik: If there’s like a sunning muskie or something in the shallows, you can just walk up and just bash it in the skull.
[0:43:41 – 0:43:46] Adam: As long as it’s within the appropriate length.
[0:43:47 – 0:43:50] Adam: As long as it’s not in some sort of, what do you call that?
[0:43:52 – 0:44:20] Adam: slot a slot limit no thank you jim or if it’s not like a weird like hybrid you gotta like quick like identify it on the fly as you’re that’s why i never could get into duck hunting dropping the hammer yeah oh is that a grebe or is that a scop no there’s no time out of season big fine coming your way uh watch out for those canadian helicopters they are watching and rightly so timu
[0:44:22 – 0:44:23] Adam: They’re coming for you.
[0:44:23 – 0:44:31] Adam: Next up, it’s the eight-seed crappie tube in two-tone versus the Haskell giant copper minnow.
[0:44:31 – 0:44:35] Adam: And the antique lures are not faring very well here in the first round.
[0:44:35 – 0:44:37] Adam: The crappie tube is so effective.
[0:44:38 – 0:44:46] Adam: As my grandfather taught me, it’s pretty much the greatest thing you can ever throw over the side of the boat while you’re just drifting with the wind.
[0:44:47 – 0:44:55] Adam: It’s a crappie tube going through with 55 votes versus 23 votes for the number nine seed Haskell Giant Copper Minnow.
[0:44:56 – 0:45:06] Adam: That one also does look like an attack submarine, and it took two torpedoes right to the hull.
[0:45:06 – 0:45:07] Adam: Ka-blow.
[0:45:08 – 0:45:08] Erik: Ka-blop.
[0:45:09 – 0:45:11] Adam: It’s going to be the Meps Aglia No.
[0:45:11 – 0:45:13] Adam: 3 versus the Crappie Tube.
[0:45:13 – 0:45:16] Adam: It’s two different approaches coming up here in the second round.
[0:45:16 – 0:45:18] Adam: That one’s very exciting.
[0:45:18 – 0:45:19] Adam: Highly anticipated match.
[0:45:20 – 0:45:24] Adam: We’re going to have to make sure we talk to our attorney and get tickets to that one.
[0:45:24 – 0:45:28] Adam: It’s going to be in town here on Friday night, and I cannot goddamn wait.
[0:45:28 – 0:45:32] Erik: The attorney, I’m sure, has a whole back pocket full of extra tickets.
[0:45:32 – 0:45:35] Erik: Nobody’s sure how he got them.
[0:45:36 – 0:45:38] Adam: Addendum and side tangent.
[0:45:39 – 0:45:42] Adam: I’ve been constantly looking for Boundary Waters permits.
[0:45:42 – 0:45:48] Adam: I want to take the three-year-old out this year for a couple of nights in the park for real.
[0:45:49 – 0:45:54] Adam: And I was just like, I’ve been constantly scanning these same two weeks in the middle of summer.
[0:45:54 – 0:45:58] Adam: There’s nothing available right now, but I’m just going to keep watching and see what comes up.
[0:45:58 – 0:45:59] Adam: Something will come up.
[0:46:00 – 0:46:08] Adam: Today, right before we were about to eat dinner, I refreshed the page and there was two clear water permits all of a sudden available on the exact day I wanted to go in.
[0:46:08 – 0:46:09] Adam: And I’m pretty flexible today.
[0:46:10 – 0:46:16] Adam: I audibly gasp so much that Natalie heard me from the two rooms back.
[0:46:16 – 0:46:17] Adam: Is everything okay?
[0:46:17 – 0:46:21] Adam: I’m like, there’s a… And then I clicked on it and it just said error.
[0:46:22 – 0:46:23] Adam: No permits available for this day.
[0:46:24 – 0:46:25] Adam: There’s some sort of computer glitch.
[0:46:25 – 0:46:27] Adam: So thanks a lot, reservation.gov.
[0:46:28 – 0:46:29] Adam: Thanks a lot, government website.
[0:46:29 – 0:46:30] Adam: You’re on my ass list now.
[0:46:30 – 0:46:31] Adam: Thanks a lot, third party.
[0:46:32 – 0:46:36] Adam: You’re going down like a crappie tube to the bottom of the weed column.
[0:46:36 – 0:46:39] Adam: But for a little bit there, I had my hopes pretty high.
[0:46:41 – 0:46:43] Erik: Well, keep refreshing.
[0:46:43 – 0:46:48] Adam: It’s very fun to know that, like, I’m going to grab a permit here one of these days.
[0:46:48 – 0:46:49] Adam: Somebody’s going to drop one.
[0:46:49 – 0:46:51] Adam: One of you fools is going to drop a good permit.
[0:46:51 – 0:46:53] Adam: I’m going to be there to snatch it up.
[0:46:53 – 0:46:54] Erik: One of you fools.
[0:46:55 – 0:46:57] Erik: Well, we’ve got an upset alert here.
[0:46:57 – 0:47:00] Erik: The 5-12 seed matchup.
[0:47:01 – 0:47:01] Erik: Again.
[0:47:01 – 0:47:01] Erik: Again.
[0:47:03 – 0:47:10] Erik: Not 100% sure what either of these teams are bringing to the table, but we’ve got the five seed, the Rebel Wee Craw going up against the 12.
[0:47:10 – 0:47:12] Adam: That’s a little like crawdad lure.
[0:47:12 – 0:47:13] Adam: Hog wobbler.
[0:47:13 – 0:47:14] Erik: Is that a topwater?
[0:47:15 – 0:47:17] Adam: Don Maltese hog wobbler is through.
[0:47:17 – 0:47:18] Adam: What’s up, big hog?
[0:47:21 – 0:47:22] Adam: Keep it up, amigo.
[0:47:22 – 0:47:24] Adam: It’s a nine fish victory.
[0:47:24 – 0:47:25] Adam: 43 to 34.
[0:47:28 – 0:47:32] Erik: The 12 seed hog wobblers are through, wobbling their way into the second round.
[0:47:33 – 0:47:33] Adam: Oh, boy.
[0:47:34 – 0:47:35] Adam: I don’t know about that, but all right.
[0:47:35 – 0:47:37] Adam: Finally, a 12 has made it through.
[0:47:37 – 0:47:38] Adam: Yeah.
[0:47:39 – 0:47:40] Adam: It’s going to happen.
[0:47:40 – 0:47:41] Adam: Everybody knows.
[0:47:41 – 0:47:41] Adam: Preordained.
[0:47:42 – 0:47:43] Adam: It is preordained.
[0:47:44 – 0:48:07] Adam: prior dante and the hog wobbler 12 seed is going up oh my god it’s a serious wow this is the biggest beat down dude what happened here shellac what happened down there i wasn’t at this game i didn’t even hear about this was this a fourth season of friday night light situation where this team just forfeited at halftime
[0:48:07 – 0:48:12] Adam: They went home with their tails tucked between their gills.
[0:48:12 – 0:48:13] Erik: Teeth are falling out.
[0:48:14 – 0:48:15] Erik: Ankles are getting broken.
[0:48:15 – 0:48:16] Adam: Our pet’s heads are falling off.
[0:48:16 – 0:48:24] Adam: The 13-seed Chautauqua minnow with only three votes embarrassed and laughed right out of town.
[0:48:24 – 0:48:27] Adam: They put him on a broken sailboat and just pushed him out of the harbor.
[0:48:27 – 0:48:36] Adam: Go on and get the number four seed original Rapala floating balsam minnow with 74 votes.
[0:48:37 – 0:48:41] Adam: It is now our number one team coming out of the first round as far as votes go.
[0:48:41 – 0:48:44] Adam: I don’t think anybody’s approached that level yet.
[0:48:44 – 0:48:45] Adam: That was a real…
[0:48:46 – 0:49:06] Adam: ass kicking it sure was by the uh balsam rapala there it’s gonna go up against the hog wobbler and uh i think we all can see what’s gonna happen there that’s gonna be uh that’s gonna be ugly but uh but also beautiful in its own way a beautiful dismantling absolutely jim
[0:49:07 – 0:49:14] Erik: Moving on to the 611, the six Zara Spooks going up against the 11 seed Savage Gear, the 4D Pike.
[0:49:14 – 0:49:16] Adam: 19 inches of rubbery pike.
[0:49:16 – 0:49:18] Adam: Three pounds of lure.
[0:49:19 – 0:49:27] Erik: Goes down to the Zara Spook, classic tap water, walking the dog, walking the puppy, whatever you want to walk.
[0:49:27 – 0:49:31] Adam: Walking your Jack Russell Terrier down the ballistic nuclear submarine walkway.
[0:49:31 – 0:49:33] Erik: The six seed Zara Spook moves on.
[0:49:34 – 0:49:38] Adam: You might be walking your Jack Russell Terrier through the streets of Honolulu.
[0:49:38 – 0:49:39] Erik: It’s the smartest dog.
[0:49:40 – 0:49:41] Erik: It’s the smartest dog.
[0:49:41 – 0:49:43] Adam: Is it smarter than a horse, though, Captain?
[0:49:46 – 0:49:48] Adam: Not if it was born in Portugal, Jim.
[0:49:48 – 0:49:54] Erik: We’re not going to get into the comparisons that Gene Hackman makes between horses and teenage girls.
[0:49:54 – 0:49:56] Erik: Why are they talking about horses so much?
[0:49:57 – 0:49:58] Erik: We’ll talk about it on the TCC, though.
[0:49:58 – 0:50:01] Adam: What do horses have anything to do with submarines?
[0:50:02 – 0:50:03] Adam: Too many animals.
[0:50:03 – 0:50:13] Adam: Next up, we got the number three seed Shadrap going up against another dimensional critter, the 14 seed 3D Duck Lure.
[0:50:13 – 0:50:13] Erik: Oh, no.
[0:50:13 – 0:50:16] Erik: We’re not going to get a 3D versus a 4D?
[0:50:16 – 0:50:18] Adam: Nobody wants those kinds of dimensions.
[0:50:18 – 0:50:20] Adam: We want to see a spook versus a rap.
[0:50:21 – 0:50:21] Erik: Nice.
[0:50:21 – 0:50:27] Adam: That three seed is going through 69 votes versus only nine votes for the duck.
[0:50:28 – 0:50:28] UNKNOWN: Nice.
[0:50:28 – 0:50:36] Adam: And the Shad Wrap as a three seed, looking very strong and super versatile in a variety of wonderful flavors.
[0:50:37 – 0:50:45] Adam: That one is a lure that anybody listening to this podcast would be lucky to have on the end of their line, Jim.
[0:50:45 – 0:50:52] Adam: And that’s about three versus six match up there in Buck’s parking lot where the bingo tent was going to be.
[0:50:52 – 0:50:54] Adam: They’re going to play that one outdoors, I heard.
[0:50:54 – 0:50:56] Adam: They’re setting up a couple tanks.
[0:50:57 – 0:51:02] Adam: They’re stocked with banjo minnows and bass, and they’re going to be chucking lures all weekend over there.
[0:51:03 – 0:51:04] Adam: Chucking lures.
[0:51:04 – 0:51:06] Adam: They’re going to have a dunk tank.
[0:51:06 – 0:51:10] Erik: Remember the state fair or county fair lure tanks?
[0:51:10 – 0:51:11] Erik: Yeah.
[0:51:11 – 0:51:12] Adam: That’s what we’re doing.
[0:51:12 – 0:51:14] Adam: Here’s how the lure works.
[0:51:14 – 0:51:15] Adam: Remember when we were at the state fair?
[0:51:15 – 0:51:17] Adam: Yeah, they had the whole DNR exhibit.
[0:51:17 – 0:51:19] Adam: Yep, that’s where they’re going to be throwing these to.
[0:51:20 – 0:51:24] Erik: And I’ll see, watch how this bass is getting, he’s going to come out of the shallows here like a dart coming after this thing.
[0:51:24 – 0:51:26] Erik: He cannot resist it.
[0:51:26 – 0:51:27] Adam: Oh my gosh, here he comes.
[0:51:28 – 0:51:34] Erik: Just all day long, all that guy does is just like cast a lure and make that one dumb bass come chase it.
[0:51:35 – 0:51:35] Erik: Poor bass.
[0:51:37 – 0:51:37] Erik: It’s worth it though.
[0:51:38 – 0:51:42] Adam: He’ll throw him a couple pieces of porcupine liver, though, at the end of the night.
[0:51:43 – 0:51:44] Erik: Wow.
[0:51:46 – 0:51:47] Erik: Where are we again?
[0:51:48 – 0:51:49] Erik: We’re at the Beaver House?
[0:51:49 – 0:51:50] Adam: We’re in the Beaver House in the East Bracket here, Jim.
[0:51:50 – 0:51:52] Erik: We’re in the East Bracket in the Beaver House.
[0:51:52 – 0:51:54] Erik: Some of the biggest blowouts of the tourney.
[0:51:54 – 0:51:57] Erik: These seven unbelievable upset here.
[0:51:57 – 0:52:00] Erik: These seven moonlight dreadnoughts go down huge.
[0:52:02 – 0:52:04] Erik: Nobody can even get their hands on a Moonlight Dreadnought.
[0:52:05 – 0:52:10] Adam: No, we need to play the sound effect from the Antiques Roadshow where the value of a lure goes way down.
[0:52:13 – 0:52:15] Adam: It’s also when you bust in Price is Right, I think.
[0:52:16 – 0:52:17] Erik: I think that is the same sound.
[0:52:17 – 0:52:21] Erik: They go down huge to the 10-seed Hula Popper, 66 to 12.
[0:52:21 – 0:52:22] Erik: The Hula Popper’s moving on.
[0:52:23 – 0:52:27] Erik: It may have something to do with the fact that you can no longer acquire a Moonlight Dreadnought.
[0:52:27 – 0:52:32] Adam: And probably very few people listening to this podcast could afford one even if they could get their hands on one.
[0:52:32 – 0:52:34] Erik: Yeah.
[0:52:34 – 0:52:35] Adam: And why would you want to fish with it?
[0:52:35 – 0:52:44] Erik: In all intents and purposes, this is a practical tournament that we are trying to provide some semblance of actual information.
[0:52:44 – 0:52:47] Adam: Reasonable advice is being administered here.
[0:52:47 – 0:52:47] Erik: Yes.
[0:52:48 – 0:52:54] Erik: Reasonable advice and voting will always come through.
[0:52:54 – 0:53:01] Adam: You can’t even get the elves at Santa’s workshop to make you a brand new mood light and dreadnought, even if you’re very good.
[0:53:02 – 0:53:05] Adam: and on the nice list every year for your whole life.
[0:53:05 – 0:53:07] Adam: You’re not getting a new Moonlight Dreadnought.
[0:53:07 – 0:53:08] Adam: Even Santa can’t afford that.
[0:53:09 – 0:53:17] Adam: His elves, they’re hopped up on the juice, and they’re playing cribbage, and they’re definitely not going to carve you anything that looks like that.
[0:53:17 – 0:53:18] Adam: Go look it up.
[0:53:18 – 0:53:23] Erik: It’d be a different story if this was the coolest lure name tournament, but it’s not.
[0:53:24 – 0:53:24] Adam: It’s not.
[0:53:25 – 0:53:28] Adam: It’s what’s going to catch you a fish in September out of a canoe.
[0:53:29 – 0:53:29] Erik: Yep.
[0:53:30 – 0:53:30] Erik: You know a will?
[0:53:31 – 0:53:31] Erik: A hula popper.
[0:53:31 – 0:53:32] Erik: A hula popper.
[0:53:32 – 0:53:33] Adam: Everybody loves a hula popper.
[0:53:35 – 0:53:36] Adam: And I’m having a second beer.
[0:53:36 – 0:53:38] Adam: I love a second beer as much as I love my first.
[0:53:40 – 0:53:40] Adam: Next up.
[0:53:42 – 0:53:47] Adam: The hula popper as a 10 seed is going up against, oh my God, this is a sick matchup, Jim.
[0:53:48 – 0:53:52] Adam: The number two seed whopper popper versus a 10 seed hula popper.
[0:53:52 – 0:53:54] Adam: It’s a popper versus popper.
[0:53:54 – 0:53:56] Adam: Can’t get popped.
[0:53:56 – 0:54:00] Adam: You’re too popped to hula or whop.
[0:54:00 – 0:54:01] Adam: Won’t get popped again.
[0:54:01 – 0:54:02] Adam: Not going to get popped again.
[0:54:02 – 0:54:03] Adam: Don’t even think about it.
[0:54:04 – 0:54:06] Adam: Sir, a second popper has hit the tower.
[0:54:12 – 0:54:15] Adam: Old pig heart just came in and whispered in your ear, Jim.
[0:54:15 – 0:54:17] Adam: He said, don’t even think about it.
[0:54:17 – 0:54:19] Adam: You’re going to want to throw that thing right underneath that cedar bough.
[0:54:20 – 0:54:27] Erik: All I was doing was reading Two Hops on Popper to this third grade class in Florida.
[0:54:29 – 0:54:30] Adam: Time to get serious.
[0:54:30 – 0:54:48] Adam: The number two seed Whopper Popper took down 66 fish in the first round and completely embarrassed Bass Professor’s Fishing Snake in face cream with 11 votes, and it made everybody sick who was in attendance.
[0:54:48 – 0:54:49] Adam: It made them sick to their stomachs.
[0:54:49 – 0:54:50] Adam: It was awful.
[0:54:50 – 0:54:53] Adam: That concludes the East Bracket, I believe.
[0:54:53 – 0:54:55] Erik: Sick in the bleachers.
[0:54:55 – 0:54:56] Erik: Literal sickness.
[0:54:56 – 0:54:58] Adam: Yeah, they’re puking all over the wooden bleachers.
[0:54:58 – 0:55:00] Adam: And let me tell you what.
[0:55:00 – 0:55:02] Adam: These bleachers, they are made of wood.
[0:55:02 – 0:55:03] Erik: Yeah, they’re going to swell.
[0:55:03 – 0:55:04] Erik: They’re going to buckle.
[0:55:04 – 0:55:04] Adam: They are.
[0:55:05 – 0:55:07] Erik: Might not even be able to watch a game the next weekend.
[0:55:08 – 0:55:09] Adam: We’ll have to be careful.
[0:55:09 – 0:55:10] Erik: Popper versus Popper.
[0:55:11 – 0:55:12] Adam: It’s a Popper versus Popper matchup.
[0:55:12 – 0:55:13] Adam: It’s a Popper off.
[0:55:13 – 0:55:15] Adam: It’s a Popper off.
[0:55:15 – 0:55:17] Adam: Watch out for the paparazzi.
[0:55:17 – 0:55:23] Adam: They’re going to be descending on Grand Marais next weekend like the vultures that they are.
[0:55:23 – 0:55:24] Erik: Damn paparazzi.
[0:55:25 – 0:55:28] Adam: Venomous, venomous swine.
[0:55:29 – 0:55:30] Adam: All right, that’s enough, Jim.
[0:55:31 – 0:55:32] Adam: Take it easy.
[0:55:32 – 0:55:34] Erik: Where’s the last?
[0:55:34 – 0:55:36] Erik: We’re going to Scoob’s.
[0:55:36 – 0:55:37] Erik: Scoobies.
[0:55:37 – 0:55:38] Erik: Scoobies.
[0:55:38 – 0:55:43] Adam: Ely, I believe, for the last bracket in the south region for some reason in Ely.
[0:55:44 – 0:55:45] Erik: It all makes sense.
[0:55:45 – 0:55:50] Erik: The one versus 16, the closest one versus 16 matchup results as of yet.
[0:55:50 – 0:56:04] Erik: The jig slash curly tail combo coming in as a one seed, getting a mild scare, but still getting to the second round unscathed, going up against cooked bratwurst.
[0:56:04 – 0:56:05] Adam: They were never worried.
[0:56:05 – 0:56:11] Adam: They were just methodically doing their thing, just jigging and twisting that tail.
[0:56:11 – 0:56:11] Erik: Yep.
[0:56:12 – 0:56:12] Adam: Calling him in.
[0:56:12 – 0:56:13] Erik: Calling him in.
[0:56:13 – 0:56:14] Erik: Yep.
[0:56:14 – 0:56:16] Erik: Once he moves on, that’s a combo.
[0:56:18 – 0:56:19] Adam: Cook Bratwurst.
[0:56:21 – 0:56:25] Adam: It was a hero, and we’re glad to know you, Cook Bratwurst.
[0:56:27 – 0:56:28] Adam: Somebody put a little mustard on him.
[0:56:28 – 0:56:28] Erik: Yep.
[0:56:30 – 0:56:34] Adam: Next up, we got the 8-9 matchup here, and we got another.
[0:56:36 – 0:56:44] Adam: Nobody’s going to vote for these lures that cost $10,000 only on, like, Lure, Collectors Lure.
[0:56:44 – 0:56:45] Erik: LureFishingAuto.com.
[0:56:45 – 0:56:48] Adam: eBay auctions.
[0:56:48 – 0:56:50] Adam: The Luminous Flying Helgramite is out.
[0:56:51 – 0:56:58] Adam: This is the freakishly large, multi-pronged, super venomous tingler.
[0:56:58 – 0:56:59] Erik: Super venomous.
[0:57:00 – 0:57:00] Adam: You’re out of here.
[0:57:00 – 0:57:03] Adam: The nine-seed Wally Diver just embarrassed him.
[0:57:03 – 0:57:05] Adam: These crankbaits are doing really well, Jim.
[0:57:06 – 0:57:08] Adam: Another crankbait is through with the Wally Diver.
[0:57:10 – 0:57:15] Adam: 55 votes versus only 22 votes for the Luminous Flying Hungerman.
[0:57:15 – 0:57:18] Adam: And I, as a fan of double numbers…
[0:57:18 – 0:57:25] Adam: I love this vote result, even though the luminous flying Helga Wright is probably the most fun thing to say in the whole tournament.
[0:57:25 – 0:57:26] Adam: It’s out of here.
[0:57:27 – 0:57:27] Adam: Wally Diver’s in.
[0:57:27 – 0:57:31] Adam: We got a Lazy Ike and a Wally Diver through.
[0:57:31 – 0:57:33] Adam: Very similar lures with…
[0:57:35 – 0:57:36] Adam: Sort of similar names.
[0:57:37 – 0:57:46] Adam: This next matchup here, the one versus nine, you couldn’t have two more different kinds of approaches to trying to catch a fish.
[0:57:46 – 0:57:47] Adam: Yeah.
[0:57:47 – 0:57:52] Adam: Jig with a curly tail combo versus a very aggressive deep diving crankbait.
[0:57:53 – 0:57:59] Erik: That one might be my pick for upset of the week.
[0:57:59 – 0:58:05] Erik: Wally Diver over the jig curly tail combo just based on voting totals.
[0:58:07 – 0:58:08] Erik: It’s a close call.
[0:58:09 – 0:58:14] Adam: Yeah, no, I think mine will be hula popper over whopper plopper.
[0:58:14 – 0:58:21] Adam: Both of those teams got 66 fish in the first round, and that’s a 10 seed versus a 2 seed, and both very similar.
[0:58:22 – 0:58:26] Adam: And, you know me, I’d prefer a hula over a whopper any day.
[0:58:27 – 0:58:28] Erik: Sure.
[0:58:28 – 0:58:29] Erik: Who doesn’t?
[0:58:30 – 0:58:31] Erik: Moving on.
[0:58:31 – 0:58:32] Erik: 5-12.
[0:58:32 – 0:58:39] Erik: Haddon back in the tourney with the torpedo going up against the Radke Pike Minnow.
[0:58:40 – 0:58:44] Erik: Flood torpedo tubes 1 and 4.
[0:58:44 – 0:58:45] Erik: 56 to 20.
[0:58:46 – 0:58:49] Erik: The torpedo moves on into the second round.
[0:58:49 – 0:58:51] Erik: Having a pretty good tourney.
[0:58:52 – 0:58:53] Erik: Pretty good appearance thus far.
[0:58:53 – 0:58:55] Adam: Radke Pikeman should have probably fired some countermeasures.
[0:58:56 – 0:58:57] Erik: So many countermeasures.
[0:58:57 – 0:58:59] Adam: Not enough countermeasures.
[0:58:59 – 0:59:01] Erik: You should have gone full left rudder.
[0:59:03 – 0:59:04] Erik: You’re really fucked up, Radke.
[0:59:07 – 0:59:08] Adam: Nose down 15 degrees.
[0:59:10 – 0:59:11] Erik: Zero bubble.
[0:59:12 – 0:59:13] Adam: We’re in the float.
[0:59:15 – 0:59:17] Adam: The head and torpedo is going.
[0:59:17 – 0:59:18] Adam: Oh, no.
[0:59:18 – 0:59:18] Adam: Oh, no.
[0:59:19 – 0:59:20] Adam: You sick bastards.
[0:59:21 – 0:59:21] Adam: Oh, no.
[0:59:22 – 0:59:25] Adam: You sick bastards.
[0:59:25 – 0:59:27] Erik: This might be the end of the tournament.
[0:59:27 – 0:59:30] Adam: I’m going to have a full-on meltdown right now, you idiots.
[0:59:32 – 0:59:43] Adam: The number four seed FZ Slim, which has caught a grand slam of fish in Quetico, is lost as a four seed to the 13 seed illegal stick of dynamite.
[0:59:45 – 0:59:47] Adam: And I’m pretty sad.
[0:59:47 – 0:59:50] Adam: It went down 40 votes to 36.
[0:59:50 – 0:59:51] Adam: At least it was close.
[0:59:51 – 0:59:52] Erik: Very close.
[0:59:52 – 0:59:59] Adam: But I don’t think people understand what an F-set slim is, and that’s probably on the F-set company itself.
[0:59:59 – 0:59:59] Erik: No.
[0:59:59 – 1:00:04] Adam: But I thought I did a pretty good job selling it last week, but I guess not.
[1:00:05 – 1:00:13] Adam: People would rather laugh and recommend that Boy Scouts use a stick of dynamite, which isn’t legal or a real thing, over a very effective spoon.
[1:00:14 – 1:00:18] Adam: That’s probably the best of the little Cleo mixed with a Mep Cyclops.
[1:00:19 – 1:00:24] Adam: And you can cast that son of a bitch a country mile and catch everything under the sun with it.
[1:00:24 – 1:00:26] Adam: But sure, go ahead and vote for the stick of dynamite.
[1:00:26 – 1:00:28] Erik: Well, you are in dangerous territory now.
[1:00:28 – 1:00:31] Erik: The more heated you get, the more likely it is…
[1:00:32 – 1:00:34] Adam: I don’t really care about the head and torpedo, honestly.
[1:00:34 – 1:00:41] Adam: If the stick of dynamite wants to go ahead and blow that one up too, that’s no skin off my back.
[1:00:41 – 1:00:43] Adam: But unbelievable.
[1:00:44 – 1:00:46] Adam: In every tournament, you got to have one of these, I guess.
[1:00:48 – 1:00:50] Adam: But, you know, that’s the way we do things.
[1:00:50 – 1:00:57] Adam: We’re not going to throw the whole handbook out and the entire method for the methodology.
[1:00:57 – 1:00:59] Adam: We’re going to honor the results.
[1:01:00 – 1:01:01] Adam: So thank you for voting.
[1:01:01 – 1:01:04] Adam: I’m not heated.
[1:01:04 – 1:01:05] Adam: You’re wrong, though.
[1:01:05 – 1:01:13] Erik: Yeah, I would tend to agree, but I feel like up to this point, it’s been the first meme team to make it through.
[1:01:14 – 1:01:16] Erik: So I’m ride or die, team stick of dynamite.
[1:01:16 – 1:01:17] Erik: Let’s go.
[1:01:17 – 1:01:18] Adam: All right, let’s pop it.
[1:01:18 – 1:01:19] Erik: Let’s win the whole thing.
[1:01:20 – 1:01:20] Erik: Let’s go, baby.
[1:01:21 – 1:01:22] Erik: Moving down to the six versus 11.
[1:01:22 – 1:01:32] Erik: The Moss Boss, my favorite from the suburbs of the Twin Cities Conference, the only real way to fish in late July.
[1:01:35 – 1:01:40] Erik: The whole lake is just choked with weeds and you just got to get something out there.
[1:01:40 – 1:01:41] Erik: Chuck a moss boss.
[1:01:42 – 1:01:52] Erik: Maybe not the greatest lure for a boundary waters lake outside of maybe six I can think of, but it does take down the seagull wobbler.
[1:01:52 – 1:01:55] Erik: The moss boss succeed is through 52 to 20.
[1:01:56 – 1:01:57] Erik: Go moss boss.
[1:01:58 – 1:01:59] Erik: One big hook.
[1:01:59 – 1:02:00] Adam: That’s it.
[1:02:00 – 1:02:00] Adam: Yeah.
[1:02:01 – 1:02:03] Adam: It’s kind of like the Johnson Silver Minnow of bosses.
[1:02:04 – 1:02:04] Erik: Just upside down.
[1:02:05 – 1:02:05] Adam: Yeah.
[1:02:05 – 1:02:05] Erik: Yeah.
[1:02:05 – 1:02:06] Adam: Interesting.
[1:02:06 – 1:02:14] Adam: If those two were ever to meet in a darkened alley, they definitely would start snapping at each other and probably doing some sick dance moves.
[1:02:14 – 1:02:14] Erik: Yeah.
[1:02:14 – 1:02:16] Erik: It’d be a West Side Story situation.
[1:02:16 – 1:02:17] Erik: Exactly.
[1:02:17 – 1:02:18] Adam: Exactly, Jim.
[1:02:18 – 1:02:20] Erik: One guy’s got a switchblade.
[1:02:20 – 1:02:22] Erik: The other guy’s got a broken off beer bottle.
[1:02:24 – 1:02:36] Adam: The Moss Boss is going up against the number three seed, Berkeley Flickershad, with 53 votes, and it easily takes down the 14 seed, Uncle Josh’s Pork Frog.
[1:02:38 – 1:02:46] Adam: Nobody knows what exactly is happening right now, but the frogs are not doing well in this tournament.
[1:02:46 – 1:02:47] Adam: All frogs are losing.
[1:02:47 – 1:02:51] Adam: It doesn’t matter if you’re made out of balsam wood or pork.
[1:02:53 – 1:02:57] Adam: These frogs are sunk, and they’re fried up, and they’re getting all their legs cut off.
[1:02:57 – 1:03:01] Adam: But the Berkeley Flickershad is a very fine lure.
[1:03:01 – 1:03:08] Adam: It comes in a variety of fun colors, and it’s an affordable option, which could be tempting to a troop of Boy Scouts.
[1:03:09 – 1:03:12] Adam: who are probably going to lose a few into the trees.
[1:03:13 – 1:03:22] Adam: And so maybe instead of outfitting the whole group with a bunch of expensive Rapalas, you may want to consider a three-seed like the Berkeley Flickershad.
[1:03:22 – 1:03:25] Adam: You can get three of those for every one of those Rapalas.
[1:03:25 – 1:03:25] Erik: Yeah.
[1:03:26 – 1:03:27] Adam: And that could be great value.
[1:03:27 – 1:03:30] Adam: So I think this one…
[1:03:30 – 1:03:33] Adam: Could be a steal of the tournament right now.
[1:03:33 – 1:03:37] Adam: The Berkeley Flickr Shed is looking pretty good with 53 votes there.
[1:03:37 – 1:03:39] Adam: Going up against the Moss Boss.
[1:03:40 – 1:03:45] Adam: Two completely different approaches here, but essentially another crankbait through.
[1:03:45 – 1:03:48] Adam: The voters are loving the crankbaits, and they’re hating frogs.
[1:03:49 – 1:03:50] Erik: They are hating frogs.
[1:03:50 – 1:03:54] Adam: I don’t know why the Patreons and the Tumble Homies in general don’t like frogs.
[1:03:55 – 1:03:59] Adam: But, you know, Eric, this is probably the last frog of the season.
[1:03:59 – 1:04:01] Erik: Last frog of the season.
[1:04:01 – 1:04:03] Adam: We’re going to have to get down there to the river and check him out.
[1:04:03 – 1:04:05] Erik: There’s only two more matchups left in the first round here.
[1:04:05 – 1:04:06] Adam: The president has no pants.
[1:04:07 – 1:04:08] Erik: Yeah.
[1:04:08 – 1:04:10] Erik: I mean, Berkley Flickershad, it’s a real value pick.
[1:04:11 – 1:04:13] Erik: Moving on to the 7 versus 10.
[1:04:13 – 1:04:16] Erik: A couple of branded lures here.
[1:04:16 – 1:04:20] Erik: I have no idea who Fred Arbogast is, but his jitterbug is through.
[1:04:21 – 1:04:24] Erik: The 7 seed taking out the Booker Depth Raider.
[1:04:25 – 1:04:31] Erik: I’m raiding the depths, but apparently you didn’t raid them well enough because you’ve gone down 54 to 22.
[1:04:32 – 1:04:33] Adam: You went down too deep.
[1:04:33 – 1:04:34] Adam: You went past 1850.
[1:04:35 – 1:04:35] Adam: You’ve raided.
[1:04:35 – 1:04:37] Adam: You probably imploded your own hull.
[1:04:38 – 1:04:40] Erik: You didn’t raid enough or too much.
[1:04:41 – 1:04:42] Erik: Who’s to say?
[1:04:43 – 1:04:44] Adam: Seventh seed, moving on.
[1:04:44 – 1:04:47] Adam: Should have been pinging some more soda on her there, depth raider.
[1:04:49 – 1:04:58] Adam: Fred Arbogast, he invented the dance move, the jitterbug, and then later made the lure, the jitterbug, in honor of the dance move.
[1:04:58 – 1:05:00] Adam: Dance move and lure.
[1:05:00 – 1:05:01] Adam: That’s right.
[1:05:01 – 1:05:02] Erik: He’s got that market cornered.
[1:05:04 – 1:05:05] Adam: And is this the final matchup?
[1:05:06 – 1:05:06] Adam: It is.
[1:05:08 – 1:05:10] Adam: Dr. Juice’s helicopter lure.
[1:05:11 – 1:05:23] Adam: Complete with a quart of whole milk, which you can dip your helicopter into and then smother it all over your jeans.
[1:05:23 – 1:05:24] Erik: Wet denim.
[1:05:25 – 1:05:26] Adam: Wet denim is going down.
[1:05:26 – 1:05:28] Adam: Nine votes for Dr. Juice.
[1:05:28 – 1:05:39] Adam: The Daredevil, which is a standard-looking spoon with a red and white stripe and has no beaded glowing eyes whatsoever as a two-seed, got 71 votes.
[1:05:40 – 1:05:41] Adam: Increable.
[1:05:41 – 1:05:42] Erik: Good for the Daredevils.
[1:05:42 – 1:05:43] Adam: Another spoon is through.
[1:05:45 – 1:05:48] Adam: And that is a very strong outfit there.
[1:05:48 – 1:05:58] Adam: The Daredevils, they got a rookie trouble hook on that team that can both slam, dunk the ass out of the ball, and shoot it from range.
[1:05:58 – 1:06:01] Erik: How is that not a sports team name at this point?
[1:06:01 – 1:06:01] Adam: The Daredevils?
[1:06:02 – 1:06:02] Adam: Yeah.
[1:06:02 – 1:06:04] Adam: Probably because of copyright law.
[1:06:04 – 1:06:05] Adam: Also Daredevils.
[1:06:05 – 1:06:07] Adam: You have to consult a different kind of attorney for that.
[1:06:07 – 1:06:09] Erik: Daredevils or Devil, just that whole concept.
[1:06:09 – 1:06:10] Erik: Right.
[1:06:10 – 1:06:11] Adam: You don’t want to make a deal with the Devil.
[1:06:12 – 1:06:14] Erik: Shocked that the New Jersey Devils still even exist.
[1:06:15 – 1:06:16] Adam: I am too.
[1:06:16 – 1:06:18] Adam: But it’s more of like a groundhog.
[1:06:19 – 1:06:20] Adam: It’s also demonic.
[1:06:20 – 1:06:21] Erik: It’s a cryptid.
[1:06:23 – 1:06:26] Erik: Actually, that’s where that whole name comes from.
[1:06:26 – 1:06:30] Adam: It’s not as famous because it doesn’t knock bridges down or crash airplanes.
[1:06:30 – 1:06:34] Erik: Yeah, and it’s not like their logo is an upside-down cross either.
[1:06:35 – 1:06:38] Adam: It’s just a little curlicue devil tail.
[1:06:39 – 1:06:39] Adam: Right.
[1:06:40 – 1:06:41] Adam: Right, right.
[1:06:41 – 1:06:42] Adam: They should.
[1:06:42 – 1:06:46] Adam: The owner of that team is definitely not doing seances.
[1:06:46 – 1:06:56] Erik: If I was a fan of the New Jersey Devils, I totally would go to games with, like, pentagrams and upside-down crosses and candles and, like…
[1:06:56 – 1:07:01] Erik: Yeah, heavy, like dripping wax, big candles.
[1:07:01 – 1:07:07] Adam: Maybe an old haunted violin you could trade to somebody for a bucket of popcorn and their soul.
[1:07:07 – 1:07:09] Erik: Yeah, a cauldron of popcorn.
[1:07:09 – 1:07:11] Erik: Why don’t they take advantage of this?
[1:07:11 – 1:07:19] Adam: A cauldron of popcorn should be served next week for the daredevils versus the Fred Arbogast jitterbugs.
[1:07:20 – 1:07:22] Adam: I’m sorry, Fred, but you’re in big trouble.
[1:07:22 – 1:07:24] Erik: I think Fred’s in big trouble.
[1:07:25 – 1:07:26] Erik: Repent, Fred.
[1:07:26 – 1:07:27] Erik: Repent!
[1:07:27 – 1:07:28] Erik: Or don’t, actually.
[1:07:28 – 1:07:30] Erik: I don’t even know what will help you in this situation.
[1:07:30 – 1:07:31] Adam: Sin harder, Fred.
[1:07:31 – 1:07:32] Adam: Yeah, reverse repent.
[1:07:33 – 1:07:33] Erik: Yeah.
[1:07:33 – 1:07:34] Erik: Don’t repent.
[1:07:35 – 1:07:36] Erik: Be naughty.
[1:07:36 – 1:07:37] Erik: Yeah, be naughty.
[1:07:38 – 1:07:41] Erik: Get yourself into the good graces of the daredevil.
[1:07:41 – 1:07:48] Adam: The zookeeper sent me a Fred Harburg-ass jitterbug, but he was too naughty, so I sent him back.
[1:07:50 – 1:07:51] Adam: And that was the end of that story.
[1:07:53 – 1:07:54] Erik: End of story.
[1:07:54 – 1:07:56] Erik: End of first round.
[1:07:57 – 1:07:57] Erik: Wow.
[1:07:58 – 1:07:59] Erik: My oh my.
[1:07:59 – 1:08:01] Erik: We’ve got some interesting matchups.
[1:08:01 – 1:08:03] Erik: We’ve got some upsets.
[1:08:04 – 1:08:07] Erik: Mostly went according to plan.
[1:08:07 – 1:08:09] Adam: Thank you to everybody who voted.
[1:08:10 – 1:08:15] Adam: We do appreciate your participation and votes and enthusiasm for the tournament.
[1:08:16 – 1:08:20] Adam: And I will take this moment to say that the stick of dynamite won fair and square.
[1:08:21 – 1:08:22] Adam: And thank you for voting.
[1:08:23 – 1:08:23] Adam: You’re not wrong.
[1:08:24 – 1:08:25] Adam: You are, of course, right.
[1:08:25 – 1:08:26] Adam: You’re tumble homies.
[1:08:26 – 1:08:27] Adam: Everything you do is correct.
[1:08:28 – 1:08:28] Erik: Yeah.
[1:08:29 – 1:08:30] Erik: Unimpeachable.
[1:08:31 – 1:08:36] Adam: I just need to do a better job of educating people on the amazing lure that is the FZ Slim.
[1:08:36 – 1:08:39] Adam: If there’s any lure that went out this first round that didn’t deserve it, it was that.
[1:08:39 – 1:08:44] Adam: And I would encourage anybody out there, if you can find one, this is probably the issue here.
[1:08:44 – 1:08:45] Erik: Yeah.
[1:08:45 – 1:08:48] Adam: Almost impossible to find an F-set slim.
[1:08:48 – 1:08:48] Erik: It’s a rarity.
[1:08:49 – 1:08:52] Adam: I found mine at the Ugly Baby, and I’ll tell you this for free.
[1:08:52 – 1:08:57] Adam: They’re not open today for business, even on a Saturday night.
[1:08:57 – 1:08:57] Erik: Nope.
[1:08:58 – 1:09:09] Adam: So that’s probably on the FZ company more than anything, but you’re going to have to bring along a Bic lighter as well for that stick of dynamite or some sort of fire-making apparatus.
[1:09:10 – 1:09:12] Erik: The FZ just sounds too German.
[1:09:13 – 1:09:13] Adam: Maybe.
[1:09:13 – 1:09:13] Adam: Yeah.
[1:09:15 – 1:09:15] Adam: German.
[1:09:16 – 1:09:16] Erik: It’s too honest.
[1:09:17 – 1:09:18] Adam: A little too efficient.
[1:09:19 – 1:09:20] Erik: A little too efficient.
[1:09:20 – 1:09:21] Erik: A little too try-hard.
[1:09:21 – 1:09:25] Adam: FZ Slim’s a good one, but you’re the B-team leader at best.
[1:09:26 – 1:09:31] Erik: Got some amazing second-round matchups, some potential Cinderella’s moving on.
[1:09:31 – 1:09:31] Erik: I don’t know.
[1:09:31 – 1:09:35] Adam: Yeah, let’s scroll back up here and have a look here.
[1:09:35 – 1:09:37] Adam: We got Stick of Dynamite versus a Torpedo.
[1:09:38 – 1:09:41] Adam: So that’s an explosive matchup if you’ve ever seen one.
[1:09:41 – 1:09:45] Erik: Yeah, that’s about as explosive of a matchup as there ever was.
[1:09:46 – 1:09:48] Adam: We got the Whopper Plopper versus the Hula Plopper.
[1:09:49 – 1:09:51] Adam: It’s a popper versus popper.
[1:09:51 – 1:09:53] Adam: No ploppers involved.
[1:09:53 – 1:09:54] Adam: Nope.
[1:09:54 – 1:09:58] Adam: Yeah, that one’s going to be a wild one for sure.
[1:09:59 – 1:10:01] Adam: That’s all of them, I guess, huh?
[1:10:01 – 1:10:02] Adam: This can’t be all of them.
[1:10:02 – 1:10:03] Adam: Is that it?
[1:10:03 – 1:10:05] Erik: That’s just the… Oh, we’re on the…
[1:10:05 – 1:10:06] Erik: I see what we’re doing.
[1:10:06 – 1:10:07] Erik: We’re just on the eastern side.
[1:10:07 – 1:10:07] Adam: Correct.
[1:10:08 – 1:10:09] Adam: This is for the eastern side, so…
[1:10:10 – 1:10:15] Erik: I see apparently the OG Rapala has got a head of steam behind it.
[1:10:15 – 1:10:21] Erik: I feel like that one could be a contender, a Final Four contender at this point, considering…
[1:10:21 – 1:10:22] Adam: Yeah, easily.
[1:10:23 – 1:10:34] Adam: The hog wobbler barely got by the rebel wee craw, which nobody knows what a rebel wee craw is, but it would be a really good boundary waters bait.
[1:10:34 – 1:10:48] Adam: Any little tiny crawdad crankbait kind of lure like that should be effective, but I think the hog wobbler just got through because people thought it was grimace-related probably.
[1:10:49 – 1:10:51] Adam: This is somehow a reference to
[1:10:51 – 1:10:53] Adam: The juicy purple butt.
[1:10:55 – 1:10:58] Adam: and then people thought that they were going to vote for that.
[1:10:58 – 1:11:02] Adam: But I don’t think it’s going to even stand a chance against the OG Rapala.
[1:11:02 – 1:11:02] Adam: We’ll see.
[1:11:03 – 1:11:03] Erik: Yeah, no.
[1:11:03 – 1:11:14] Erik: I don’t see a true contender going up against the OG Rapala until maybe the Sweet 16 matchup or even the Elite Eight, whatever.
[1:11:14 – 1:11:16] Erik: But it should be interesting to see.
[1:11:16 – 1:11:20] Erik: Voting, again, will be up until, boy, this next Saturday.
[1:11:20 – 1:11:22] Erik: So if you’re listening to this on Sunday the 30th,
[1:11:23 – 1:11:25] Erik: You’ve got a week to vote.
[1:11:25 – 1:11:34] Erik: In all the places that you found it last time, tell your friends, tell your neighbors, tell your family.
[1:11:34 – 1:11:36] Adam: Let’s get over 100 votes per round.
[1:11:36 – 1:11:37] Erik: Tell your boss.
[1:11:38 – 1:11:38] Erik: Tell your boss.
[1:11:39 – 1:11:40] Erik: Get your boss involved.
[1:11:41 – 1:11:44] Erik: Let your boss know what weird meme group you’re involved in.
[1:11:45 – 1:11:46] Erik: Let him or her in on that.
[1:11:46 – 1:11:49] Adam: Hell, send an email to the entire board of directors.
[1:11:49 – 1:11:50] Erik: There you go.
[1:11:51 – 1:11:52] Adam: Let’s get them all in here.
[1:11:53 – 1:11:56] Adam: We want the salt of the earth and we want the big wigs.
[1:11:57 – 1:11:58] Erik: CC everyone.
[1:12:01 – 1:12:03] Erik: Well, with that, do we have any other roundups?
[1:12:03 – 1:12:06] Erik: First round is over in the books.
[1:12:06 – 1:12:06] Erik: I don’t think so.
[1:12:06 – 1:12:08] Adam: I think we got to unzip our vest a little bit.
[1:12:08 – 1:12:13] Adam: Maybe you need to loosen your cummerbums up, and we got to hit that tesh.
[1:12:13 – 1:12:14] Erik: Just rock out like tesh.
[1:12:15 – 1:12:15] Erik: Yeah, baby.
[1:12:15 – 1:12:17] Erik: With slam dunk it.
[1:12:17 – 1:12:18] Erik: Fancy metallic vest.
[1:12:20 – 1:12:31] Erik: Find my old answering machine from the 90s where I screamed a theme song that I thought sounded good, and I am such a savant, I was able to turn it into an actual theme song for real.
[1:12:32 – 1:12:32] Erik: Dunk it, Eric.
[1:13:02 – 1:13:08] SPEAKER_00: B-b-b-b-b-basketball Gimme, gimme, gimme the ball Because I’m gonna dunk it!
[1:13:08 – 1:13:14] SPEAKER_00: B-b-b-b-b-basketball Gimme, gimme, gimme the ball Because I’m gonna dunk it!
[1:13:14 – 1:13:20] SPEAKER_00: B-b-b-b-b-basketball Gimme, gimme, gimme the ball Because I’m gonna dunk it!
