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 Fredaloni and your host Chris Revers.

That's right. It's time for the weekly scramble. My name is Chris Revers. And by my side, his name is Mike Fredaloni with Fredaloni's hardware and Garden Stores. Hello, Michael.

Revers. I wanted to start the show off this week with a question. Okay. You are a man in the midst of business.

Sure. You have been almost your entire adult working life. Correct? No, any other way.

You know a lot about employment, hiring, firing, all that kind of stuff, right? Yeah, kind of. Are you sure?

So I wanted to ask you this because when I'm assembling my team in order to conspire in rob a bank or whatever, you are on my short list.

Oh, thank you. Yes. You are 100% of my short list. You may have ever said to me. Really? Yeah. Okay.

Okay. Because you're super smart. Well, and you know a way to you know how to work a system. That's what I love about you.

I can see a lot of angles. Absolutely. Not terribly bright. So I don't know if you heard the show yesterday.

I did. I did. I did. I did. But I know you're an avid listener. But the reason I asked you that is, Joe had a story.

I think it was towards the end of the show. And I didn't share this with Joe because I wanted to save it for our show.

Nice. So apparently the city of Minneapolis in an effort to curb crime is going to hire basically civilians to do informal police work.

And I'm really paraphrasing because I don't know the exact verb between front of me. But you get the gist. Nonviolent police.

The only thing though standing in its way is they're bringing in an outside consultant. Oh, nice.

At a poultry salary of $300,000 a year. Gotta get paid something.

So here's my thought. Okay. And I need the reason I'm asking you is I need to know if if I go through with this, am I going to get arrested?

Okay. That's that's basically be an attorney here too.

We've all seen these made up job titles and these fancy, you know, on the executive advisor of the executive advisory board.

Yeah. All that crap. I thought about. Okay. Because every single one of us has lied on a resume at one point or another.

Every single one of us. Maybe not you. I have never had a resume. But yes. Well, okay.

Then I guess that's true. You've never lied on one because you've never had one. But every single one of us has what.
