| 1:10.8 | I am. With us. I was hoping to be someone better. Chase or Case? I think Chase the bartender at Iron Door Pub, where we are... Corner of Lynn Lake. We are warming up prior to the Vikings Eagles game this afternoon. Yeah. One of our favorite spots. One of our go-toes, whenever we need a spot to record a show. There's also a spot. Well, we've got a bunch of actually scheduled over the next couple of weeks. Oh, gosh, I'm blanking them where they all are. I'll take a look at them before we finish the podcast.
