Welcome back to the PowerTerm morning show for the first time in a handful of weeks. Tommy. Tomi O'Son is to be back so good you guys this summertime so good to so so good to see you and hear you I'm serious when I woke up this morning it was a little little groggy I was a little rough this morning I just kind of hit I hit snooze more than I needed to but then I turned on my little phone app and then all of a sudden I hear your voice thank Oh, man, you know what to make my day. You're the shot of energy I needed today. Can I tell you something?

We're coming into undefeated time in Minnesota. I tell this to everybody I ever meet. May to October, you can't beat Minnesota. You are correct. I'll line it up against any state in the world. Any. Outside of those times, hideous. But during those times, the best. Because right now you got all the playoff NBA hockey. And then the best weather of all time. Then summertime is great. And then we all know how great October is. It's the best month of the world. Can I just tell you from a parent's perspective, though, that has kids in baseball? Right now it's hideous.

Yeah. Last night, we're on a baseball game. He looks pretty good. He's all right. He's, I got to fix his hitting, but we're okay. Is he struggling at the play right now? Yeah, we got some probs. We got some problems. I know what he's doing wrong. We just have to drill it. The thing is, all the parents right now have baseball or anybody that's outside, you're in your winter coats and your stocking caps watching games. Literally last night. No, that sounds fantastic. I'd rather have that than 80 degrees, right? No, no. Nice hoodie, nice stocking cap. Shut up. Maybe some air pods. No. Way to go. Good job. Are you even watching? No. As well as a squad good. What's in your jetty? Yeah. What is it 11, 11 year old? They're 12 U. 12 U. Is it Gopher State or is it Babe Ruth? Would be Gopher State. Oh, the best.

Best times in my life.

Best times in my life.

Nothing's more competitive than Gopher State-based. I'm not kidding. Wells, nerves at the plate right now are more nervous than he'll be for anything else? Wells doesn't really get nervous. I'm telling you. He's loose. He doesn't care. He was trying to, I think he got really nervous last night when he got his walleye sandwich and and he was like, I don't, I'm going to challenge myself to finish this. That's about the biggest nervous. 12-year-old, do you start to steal? Is there leading off yet? That's a good question. My boy had two games. God, 12-year-old baseball. Playing baseball is sweet. There's nothing better. No. There's going to a tournament and playing and a 12 year old to go for state baseball tournament is the top five experience. Yes. Yes. Yes it is. God. It's fun. That's before I got real fat. Yeah. Then you know you got snacks afterwards. You just hammering the snacks. Wouldn't you say though a kid, from a kid level? It doesn't matter what sport it is.

Anytime that you go to stay at a hotel to play any, it doesn't matter.

Any sport.

Basketball or whatever.

That's why hockey is so beloved around you.

Yeah, 12 years old or whatever it is, 10 years old, and you get a weekend with your buddies in a hotel room.

We feel like a pro.
