we are at tulleys. Where are we? We're tuttles once again in Hopkins. You can always just safely assume it's in Hopkins.

0:21.8

It took me to a bowling alley today.

0:23.3

Yeah, well, we tried this. We usually record this on a Tuesday night, so we tried the Tuttles, I don't know, three Tuesdays ago or something like that, and they were having trivia night. Oh, that's right. So I remember we came in here, and they were like, you know, they were using the speakers and everything.

0:36.2

They were one of the four different places we stopped by that night.

0:38.5

They were all trivia night.

0:39.5

Some of the bar on Main Street and they were like, you know, they were using the speakers and everything. They were one of the four different places we stopped by that night.

0:38.5

And then we went to some of the bar on Main Street and they were doing bingo.

0:55.3

So, but this is a Wednesday night. We pushed it back. So it's, you know. Should we tell where we're going to be next week? Actually, we don't. We're not sure. We don't know where we're going to be next week. but I think we're going to be interviewing Howard Sinker next week from Star Tribune.

0:55.6

Yeah.

1:12.1

So that'll be, we figured at this point, you're sick of just the two of us. We're probably pretty sick of just the two of us. I got to say. We are definitely sick of the two of us. The email stream this week made it very clear. We're both very sick of together. Instead of doing, we were, you know, instead of doing it on Tuesday night, we push it back.

1:26.1

So that means it gave us, like, a 24-hour period to just argue over email about stuff. And, uh, I don't know. I wasn't necessarily annoyed because I think I was the, the one doing the annoying. So it didn't really annoy me that much. but I think John was probably pretty annoyed with me.

1:26.7

I was annoyed.

1:29.0

So hopefully that will come across in the podcast, because I'm told that makes it for good radio. Yeah, that's right. We have plenty of that. Two people are already tired of each other before they get on the air. We should also mention, this is our small talk segment. This is what I call this. Last week, we went to Big Ten in Hopkins, of course. What of course they kicked us out at 11 which is

embarrassing for them so then we decided you know we were done podcast and we basically stopped

1:52.8

as they kicked us out we were going to go a little and we go across the way to wild boar is that

2:18.4

Oh, that was young, you were saying.

2:19.1

It was like, holy cow, you're only 28.

2:21.4

Oh, you met. That was not, the incredulity that you heard in my voice was young, you were saying. It was like, holy cow, you're only 28. Almost 29 January. But so the point of this all is, I went through the first 28 years of my life never having a significant hangover.
