This is the weekly scramble, a place where we chat about life over a cold one, or two.

It's time to belly up to the pod with Mike Fratelone and your host, Chris Revers.

That's right. It's time for the Weekly Scramble podcast. My name is Chris Revers with me as always. His name is Mike Fratellone. Hello, Michael. Happy Friday, Revers. It's kind of fun recording on a Friday morning. It is. Yeah, we're a day late, but we're not a dollar short. That's for sure. We're $2. Well, $2 short. $2 billion short in the state. This guy's more than that. Anyway, let's not get into that.

Anyway, but we've got a number of topics to discuss here on the show today.

And I'm going to say this.

In probably what will be our final moments of today, I am going to blow your mind with a

proclamation that I am going to make for the betterment of the state of Minnesota.

Okay.

So, because you had said you had a big thing to tell me about at the end of the show. And I thought, he's coming out of the closet for us. I was like, holy bucket. Not yet. Because they were talking bathhouses. And you're like, if bathhouses are coming back in Minneapolis, you better come out. Well, here's the thing. So we talked

the other day on the show about the decline of the hospitality industry, basically just saying

we're done. Yeah, I hope not. And that's, you know, again, as a kid that, I'm not joking, my very,

well, no, my very first job was at Philippi Ace Hardware in Fairwell, Minnesota. Thank you very much to the Philippi family. I loved that job. I worked there for three years. But then after that, you know, go to school. Working in the service industry was just a part of my life forever. Sure. I mean, literally forever. So that's why it kind of stings a little deeper because of just my deep admiration for that industry.

And I've always said, every kid alive should work in that business because it teaches you so many life lessons.

Face-to-face service teaches you.
