and Guts and Gratitude. It's like a cabaret show where I didn't know this when I volunteered, but I'm hosting, potentially singing and potentially dancing a cabaret show. My uncle is in the theater and music, and he's very talented, and all of his talented friends put this show together to support mental health. Again. I remember my uncle other uncle passed away a couple of years ago tragically, and it was at the hands of somebody who is struggling for

mental health. And it's really been a message that his husband, my uncle that is still alive, is pushing to really support uncle who died also struggled with mental health, and the person who ultimately took his life struggled with mental health. Different sides of it, but it affects so many people and this is just one way to get some entertainment, have some fun, cry some tears, probably and support a wonderful cause. I did tweet about it.

It's the Paul James Fifer Foundation, but you can also get it on my Twitter. Two shows at the end of the month that I'm hosting specifically, so anyone out there wants to come have some fun and support a great cause, it would be much appreciated and awesome.

Congratulations, man, what a game. That's a sweet I thought you had a brother horn Dog. I know it. You're gonna get tweeted a bit. I'm not gonna look at it. The worst part, too, is there's probably like corn dog costumes at Target that people are going to be putting a pictures too. Oh my lord. I just you guys. You guys both said chicken, and I was trying to can telling myself it's not

chicken, it's not chicken. But that's all I could think of these things to start with chicken, which you lose great plate, I have real, man, that's a three way tie coming home. I'm glad it wasn't Friday's list because me today, I know I would have don't think I would have ever came up with classic Smiths Sojersey, myself and Hal on Friday, Yeah, man, and the winner takes on nord and A a week from Friday. Wow, okay, we've still had nobody hit one letter guessing in the

Jack Podcast in like sixteen weeks now. Nordo is freaky Friday, Man, I who knows right? Yeah? Dominated last week? Just dominated dominated. So who was it last year that gave you a run? Was it who gave you a run in the finals? Was Tyler and Max in the first round? Tyler and Max the flopped in the sun last year? I got one. That's the lowest I've ever gotten.

one. No, this was a separate group. What you're saying, Yeah, No, I had I had nine for the Oh China separate got you. So what are you thinking about the game today? There a j Montster. Do you think the Twins can wrap her up tonight? Well? I loved John's John Bonus was on earlier and his breakdown of you know, the rain possibility. The way that the Bullpens played out really kind of made me feel better. Typical Minnesota, just waiting for that letdown, like all of

us kind of talked about. But I think that this is just a different it's it's the team is shaped differently, and it's shaped around pitching. And then you got the situation where the guys who were supposed to carry the lineup through the through the season kind of all flopped and you got this emergence of

all these new guys that come up. And now if those guys that Kreas and if they can have an impact like we thought they were going to, I feel different about this team, not like World Series different, but I think they're gonna handle business today. Then they didn't tax anybody out of the pant either. So everybody's ready for the Bluejays. I love the matchup against Burrios. I think they're gonna light them up today, I really do.

And all you got to say is Royce Lewis for feeling different that they have a guy he's so good. Yeah, sixty five and no chance of rain at three o'clock. Let's go and literally let's go like change, no chance, no chance right now, Parish, we're talking you into it. You're coming right once.
