That was a battle. That was awesome. Guys. It was a lot of fun. Semi finalists. You're in

But yeah, the Christmas Lights got me, lady, though there was no reason I actually
got that. All I could think of Coors Light. Put that out of my mind because started Nordo got what four of the last six though, I think chapped lips, credit limit and cleaning lady four of the last Let me get it done, line. I just can't wait to be number forty five next year. You continue to set me back. I was a twelfth seed last year, I was sixteenth this year. You're gonna put me at twenty five. Next year, I'll win the damn tournament. Then we'll see where
you get seated. I gotta go prep nine to noon. Cheers, gentlemen, sponsor, I wasn't paying attention to we get the sponsored. Pay care of that. Hold on, Let's take seventh at over the Avenue. Yeah, I got him the right head. Huge puffs in your car always Yeah, pressure time, you can feel it. Nordo was sponsored by Seventh Avenue
Pizza. Going on now all Seventh Avenue Pizza is buy one, get one at Coburn's cash Wise and market Place food stores and since Nordo one, tag him and Seventh Avenue Pizza now through Sunday for a chance to win one hundred dollars towards restocking your freezer with Seventh Avenue Pizza. Anybody know what Nordo's Twitter handle is I think it's at Mad Producer, at Mad Producer, once a tag, at Mad Producer on at Seventh Avenue Pizza now through Sunday for a
chance to win one hundred dollars. I know they've said some rigged things before here on this show, and especially with initials, But the fact that you have Nordo doing all of the Vikings fan line basically this year, I feel like you kind of just you know, softballed him. Oh, I mean I have a question as well. My attorney and I have is deferring. So when you looked it up, what is the difference between credit line and credit limit? Because the limit is a credit line, is here's your establishing
a credit line. If it's thirty thousand dollars whatever it might be from a card. Is that the same as a credit limit for a card for sure, for specifically based on your income and expenses. But like a credit line is the place is going to barrow you the money like a castino. Okay, if you just look at the first line of even Lending Trees definition, it says a personal line of credit is a type of financing that allows you to withdraw funds is needed up to a predeterm limits. So it's the line
is the account, The limit is the MA could give me. That's okay. Everybody's tweeting Christmas lights, Yeah, these are the area's fantastic. Just trolling you. Yeah, one, you can't troll you for Christmas lights. You had it Max first. You're gonna pay for that cleaning lady next month. Really upset. It'd be funny if she shooker had at you like really
you're like wow, good starts an entertaining and don't forget. Ultimately, all of the blame falls on Muss. He picked pack number six, the faults got one though he got through, Yes, exactly, go to bed tonight knowing that if he had picked one of the other eight, you would have won. It's Muss's faulty, damn right. Yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah, I don't know how I'm going to sleep to night. It's over.
So it is something about this game, though, isn't it. I mean last year you made it to the finals and almost won the whole thing. In this year you're the Vikings. Yeah, oh my god, one and done. Good start though, all right, gave it hell you did? You gave her hell? By times? Well, so can we look at
next week's matchups? Please, Zecho, if you're watching on kfan dot com slice watch, could you flash that up on the screen so we can let everybody know who's up next Friday. There you go, oh the champ Oh next week. A J. Mont Ser versus the eighteen seed, Mike Grimm versus the twenty seventh seed, Brian Oak versus the twenty eighth seed, Tatum
Everett versus the forty fifth seed Kevin Gorg. All Right, A J. Grimm, Oak, Everett Gorg So tune in anyway, last time Grimm Itt Aoth played against each other, they both were fantastic right the first half of the game. Grimm the back half of the game. We need some of that magic against AJ. Max had it for the first half of the game last year against AJA, then lost it in the second half. It's hard to beat AJ over a smoke break in the middle of it. So that
way you can like regret. I think he takes mental smoke breaks in between every item that's right, hit me you and gum like crazy over here. And by the way, a J points out, Noorda was down three to nothing at one point. It really was unexpected to. I said it off, Mike. I don't have you heard, but I honestly thought, Chris, you were going to run away with this thing. Look like I thought
it was gone. I never look at it that way because I know a lot of times you can just run into a mental block, and especially when it started off as cl I was like, it's not going to be Corse lights, gonna be Cores light, not gonna be Cores light. So I did a good job focusing on other things, but just some of the stuff
wasn't clicking. The you know, Christmas lights took too long. Cleaning lady didn't even pop the d Yeah, credit credit line and credit when I questioned it and gave it away already that when you were like you had said no that it was like, okay, maybe it could be something else. But then we were like, oh, then we knew it was close. He trying to man. It was smart. I understand the doubt though, because I knew I would have started to read that. UM sure that finition as
well. I can take that home and play program password the shanth room. By the way at one thirty, Chris, car we'll be joining us. You can't take program password home. You can take versions for into a board game inertials game dot com and I don't have the trademark, do not. I think somebody else stakes. It was a lot of fun. Thanks Rosie. You bet bye Roser. By the way, twenty five Rosie Zacho's got something for you. But you guys, one hundred and sixteen people in the
bracket challenge picked Nardo to win. Uh that out of how many? What was the total number? Um, I'll get that in a moment. By the way, zero people picked him to win. Oh wow, tournament, the whole tournament, but at least one win, all right, I think that's right. I think he just showed he could do it. Yeah, gotta get hot, good fern. That was really something. That's a fun game to listen to. And I'm gonna tell you, guys, I'm just gonna be out. I would have been terrible today. Terrible today. I
think I got one. Really Yeah, Saucy, are you buy a mic were somewhere anymore? Yeah? How would you have done today? Oh? Okay, that list that would have been tough for me too. Yeah. Yeah, they were tough. It's tough, guys, Yeah, tough guy. Yeah, because there's no names, right, Yeah, that his names property. So I'm glad that list was gone always. And this is the second year in a row that I got to pick stupid and I went in number six again, yeah and uh and each time. Now as soon as
you mentioned the initials, I'm like, oh, I'm screwed. I couldn't think of one proper name either, like the famous actor and actor with a C L right, chlor as well, that's a good right, right right, A couple of them, Rosie. We have our first elimination of the twenty twenty four two Welcome Back Audra or election. I think it's gonna be about eight people cooks out just the way this go, I give my best shot. This is my favorite group though, to play with. Sarahs Yes,
Sarah, She's tremendous. She makes me heave cry. Does you got h O f the Rosie over here? I mean, there's no way I cannot cheer for Crease. I love the dude. Nordo is the king of barbecue and that guy. I love it. I love it how he guessed and then got all up in their faces. Absolutely, the point is a point. That point is a point still counts, baby, all right, thanks, Fellows, so super cool. That was great. Man. The pressure, yeah, the pressure is tough. I am not looking forward to
my matchup. I do think next week's matchup is we'll see. I'm excited to walk now. I just have to be crease on the golf course. Well, that shouldn't be a problem. Literally, isn't out of the question. Next he might get all twelve of them. Yeah, that would be something. Yeah, but okay, grim grim sneaky good, oaks sneaky good. And let's not discredit what Tatum did. She's only played once and got four, that's true, and they were legits. It's it was initials.
But man, she she seemed like she understood the game. So she win. No Alexis did oh yeah yeah, but very well, she's only played once. Rosie and my dad are gonna go see if the booze open. Yeah yeah, they got table. I know where they can go, Yeah, Sniffer's Row. They have a breakfast buffet there. Yeah. I thought Rosie was gonna guess the word class for c for every guess Yeah, class action Yeah yeah he said class lawsuit. But it's still wanted to get one.
That's all he wanted, Like where he was headed. But also, like we've been saying since he's out of the room for like the last three years, he doesn't care about any of this at all. He's the least likely to be affected by getting kicked out of next year's there. He's got a fiance, he's gonna go on a nine month honeymoon. He almost forgot who was supposed to show up today. I'm time. We all heard it yesterday on the show. If we hadn't said it yesterday in front of his
face, he would have forgot. And then he's definitely on a nexious tournament. If you're doing level on it and skipping it, man, that's fine. Nice job everybody, by time, thanks for having me.
