None, Marny royalty check check, royalty check. I couldn't get the second word, man Man Martins. That was a bullet dodge there that those two both blanked on it. Royalty check gets Marni Gellner on the board.

You have to run the table to tie. But to Tyler, there is five lefts and you have a four point lead. If you get any of the remaining five, you're walking this thing off.
Dang.
If you get all five, you break the record.
I just want to throw it out there.

No no.
On five four three.
Two rotissery chickens.
Yes, that's exactly correct. Costco sells it at a loss because they want you to come in to get it. If you had roissy chicken. Is exactly the right answer. That was the best.
That might be the most miraculous answer.
You thought there was no chance like loss. I'm like, oh no, they don't. They lose money on rotissary Chicken. But it gets people in the building and guess where it's placed the back of the store, all strategic. I didn't, dude, you almost didn't say it was because.
I didn't want to help anybody else out.
Somebody on Twitter. Twitter is going to argue that we laughed for three seconds, so you actually had more time. But still said said one second, man, that was great. Rotisserie Chicken gives. We said loss, I was taking money. You bobbled that ball. That was another Minneapolis miracle right there. That was unbelievably good. Chicken ron has two oak. Now you're mathematically out, but keep playing screw it up for somebody else.
Why not.
Yeah, that sounds about like my life right now.
Marns. You have to run the table, but you need all four. Ron, you're not out of this yet either, But Tyler are the same. Thing is still the case. There's four to go. You have a three point lead. If you get any of the remaining four, you're still going for the wind. So Tyler trying to stay in this. Sorry, Tyler going for the wind. Ron trying to say this, Tyler going for the Wind's number nine of our s.

Too, A cigarette in your coffee. Yeah, it's been smashed into the mouth hole.
First time.
They're not really good that, Tyler.
You have six or three to go. If you run the table like do Young Park did. If you run the table, you tie the all time record of nine.
You knew you were giving it away the second you walked in here.
In hand, and the second I saw it all chewed up on the filter, and like, no, that one's mon.
You can do whatever you want with that. They're not really given the.
Tyler needs the last three to tie the record. Here's number ten of RC number one generally round or circular. Clue number two are considered flat. Clue number three often sold in bags. Clue number four can be a variety of colors, but is most often white. Clue number five it considered somewhat bland, airy and puffy. Tyler yep rice cake. Tyler has seven with two to go. If he gets the last two, he ties do Young Park, aj Monsewer and Meat Sauce is the only people to ever get nine in one game.
We must play against some terrible people.
You know.
Sauce is going to come in here and just mf the three of you for letting Tyler do this. If he does this, but let's see. Here's number eleven of RC clue number one. It's considered comedic.
Marty's performance.
Oaks performance.
Clue number two is part of a performance or competition. Clue number three is connected to barrels. Clue number four used as a distraction Marnie yep rodeo clown. That's right, clown, and that stops Tyler from tying the record. Just for fun, here is number twelve of RC clue number one. These are temporary Clue number two, they are booked. Clue number three they are returned. Clue number four are insured. Tyler rental car. Rental car, and Tyler gets eight and he's
moving on to the semi finals. All right, let's talk about, first of all, the sponsor. What happens now that Tyler George has one playing game number two.
He's sponsored by. My friends are Radco and Radco dot com. Tyler, once, You're gonna get ten pers off your entire order now through Monday in store or online at radco dot com when you use a promo code initials discount doesn't apply to topper steak your Radco.

Sweatshirts for wearing if you just show up there. Yeah, probably any point.
Got an address, that's Mankato.
Yeah, you gotta find it though, that's you gotta find it.
That's shut out.
Nick Lewis by the way in the studio the kissed the glissy shirt.
He sure did.
And yeah, I did a great job with that.
Can people see Marnie right now online? Sure?
Ye, Because here's the thing about smoking cigarettes. This is let's let me know. Let's let me know that you are a rooy. You can't smoke them when they're wet. Yeah, you gotta let them sit on the window cylin dro out in the sun and then they taste really sour and stale the next day.
That's how you do it, Marnie.
The still shot of that cigarette hanging off your lip is going to be as iconic as James Deane. I think it should be on a T shirt. It should be on college kids walls, right, John Belushi, Bob Marley and Marnie with a cigarette.
Well, I've got nothing else to go on right now, because that was terrible.
Well, you got rodeo clown, which is fitting. Okay, So so here's the situation. The semis are the next three Fridays, and because they earn their way into it, the nine people that are already in have the date set. So next Friday, Doe Young Park versus Tatum versus A. J. Montsour September sixth is Lawyer Lambert versus Matt Minster versus Tommy Olsen. September thirteenth, Zach Halberson versus Tom Pella Sero versus Justin Guard. We have three wild cards, Mike grim,
Mark Parrish, and Tyler George. We're are Grimmer in Parish if they can come in here Zach Studio. Okay, have those two run back in. I saw Grimmer a second ago. Zach Elman. Zach has a wheel We're gonna spin and then whoever's name it lands on. They get to pick their matchup now, Like Tyler already told me that one of the dates he is out of town for, so you might say, well, that's the easiest matchup. I want to be in that one. But if you're unavailable, you're unavailable.
I don't know Grimmer's go for schedule. Maybe he's not available all next three Fridays. I'm not sure when you leave for Gopher games. Who knows, maybe you got a lot of home games. Grimmer, Parish and Tyler zacharied, you have the wheel ready.
We're not gonna see it.
There you go, come over here.
I got here, So Tyler George Mark Parrish on the wheel, go ahead and spin at Zacho for the first pick in the old wild card drafts. Yo, it looks like it's going to.
Be Mike Grim, Graham, Mike Grim, did you hear the dates in the matchups?
I'll skip the Gofer game if I have to. Uh so, but I don't know who's playing when I think, no, we didn't. I don't though I haven't seen them.
So next Friday on the screen there bottom right, Uh yeah, you accidentally have Grim though. That's all right, Yeah, that's it's supposed to be Matt Minster and that maybe he's just foreshadowing that that's the one you're gonna pick. It looks like right, So next Friday is doughe Young, Park, Datum, Tatum Everett, and A. J.
Mon Sewer.
September sixth is Lawyer Lambert, Matt Minster and Tommy Olsen. The thirteenth is Zach Pelissaro and Guard. Yeah, I'll go with the six. Probably a smart grimmer takes the sixth. That's all right. That was the one. Tyler was unavailable material, but you gotta go chalk here right available? That is the right one. All right now, Parish and Tyler, let's spin it.
Mm, good luck, guys man. Either matchup's a death matchup.
I don't really am.
That's gonna be Tyler? All right, Tyler, which one do you want? Do you want Doe, Tatum and AJ next Friday? Or Gerdsey, Pelissaro and Zach on the thirteenth?
Oh Man, tough call.
To make sure.
Got to make sure I got the right dates too. So what's the final Friday? What's the thirteenth? Zach, Tom and Gerdsy? That's me all right, you're going that way. So Parish, you're playing next Friday. You get the rematch against Tatum.
We thought, remember that you losing that was going to be an advantage because you got to avoid Dough and uh an agent. But you are right back in that group our parish.
I should have slept him.
It's all right. So those are the matchups next morn a Parish, Tatum, A J and Doe. The winner johns Joy said, anything's possible. Man, Parish got a really raw deal there, But what are you gonna do? It's a lock of the draw. Should have just won, should have beat Tatum, then you won't have to worry about this would have ended up in the exact same bracket anyway, Grimmer, look at you man, you won this morning and now you got the dream draw.
I'm going ahead and go buy a lottery ticket now a few than today must be the day.
Ron, Thanks for your time, buddy. You can hear Ron tomorrow on fanline right about three to five ish or so. Give her take.
Yeah, are you joining this?
Finally?
I don't know who.
I don't know who's doing it tomorrow.
The game Robbie, and you're on your way to get a rotisserie chicken.
That was one of the al timers said. No, Tyler, we'll see you on the thirteenth.
I would be here.
Brian, Oh, good to see you. You see in a year.
But if people are interested in the meantime, I do have a podcast available on the free iHeartRadio app called The Brian Oak Show Podcast, and we're recording episode for twenty A little later.
On What's Not going to be about?
I wax exact.
Nothing.
It's going to be about holistic practices as they pertain to manifesting abundance.
Smelling salts and cigarettes.
Then, oh man, it's been a rough morning. By the way, Never again on the smelling salts. I got blanked today. That was embarrass The problem was the smelling sauce.
Exactly.
I'm so sorry. My just recommendation. Next time a guy says, hey, sniff this, don't sniff it.
That's actually really good advice.
Yeah, probably is, Chris, need you to do it, I said, sniffed.
I'm he cracked it.
I'm like, there's no way it's actually smelling salts. And it turns out it's actually smelling salts.
Have you not been in your oak when we've done that?
No, who does smelling salts every Friday?
Every Friday?
Thanks for listening.
He's got a jar full of them.
Well, because I don't know who's a serial killer, I'm not really sure.
I don't know.
It's just it's a weird habit to me. That's some it is. Maybe I'll have one more before I go exactly, yeah, exactly.
I'll tell you. I wish I had gotten that second group of initials. I was three and oh through the first three.
Yeah, I wish I had the first group, the first group I killed on.
I killed on it table in that first in the first one.
I don't know if I I did.
By the way, Yeah, smoking a cigarette.
Well, we're off the tables now, aren't you want to go out and have a heater in the parking room under the table right now?
All right? Okay, Rosie's gonna bookmark this.
Yeah, alright, mars a big, big weekend for Hall of Fame as well.
Yes, do you mean Maya Moore's jersey retire No.
I was talking about John Bonjobi.
Yes, yes, so Maya's in town and we have some events over the weekend. Even on Monday morning. I'm part of an event with Maya and the Links. So anytime something like this happens where you have one of the all time greats and maybe the greatest Minnesota Links player ever, depending on where you we're in a rank people, I don't know what just crawled across my neck.
It's strange.
Yeah, right, sorry about that.
What that means is then all of the greats come like Sylvia Fowls will be here this weekend. Simona Augustus will be here this weekend. Lindsay Whalen will be out at the game, so Taj.
McWilliams, Franklin.
Yes, we're celebrating players going to the Hall of Fame and Mayamoor going into the rafters of Target Center. That's after the game on Saturday, which is of course Links and Indiana Fever. Kaitlyn Clark grew up watching the Links. That was her favorite team. Maya Moore was her favorite player. How crazy is that that Caitlyn will be sitting there watching her favorite player have her jersey retired in the arena where she just played.
And you get to be a part of it, right, I'm hosting the jersey retirement.
Yeah, that's very cool.
What a cool thing, just to absolutely guarantee that the crowd is packed for Maya right, not that it probably wouldn't have been anyway, but this guarantees that it's going to be absolutely filmed, and it.
Gives her a forum as well to talk about what she's doing with her life, which is working on freeing people who have been incarcerated wrongly and trying to write a bunch of wrongs. And she's doing more good now than she ever did on the basketball court. And that's hard to imagine because she was so good on the basketball.
That documentary was amazing.
To the documentary, she wrote a book.
Her life is just absolutely incredible and special and should be celebrated, and we will this weekend.
That's right. Hey, Parish, did you go see Craig Gas last night?
Absolutely? It was absolutely he was hysterical. It was so good.
I'm telling if you got nothing else going on this weekend except for of course Saturday night, because you're gonna be coming visiting.
Us at the fair.
But besides a go see Craig Gas at New Yoak Cinema.
He was hilarious.
Also, his impersonations are incredible, great, so good looking.
