In round one, do Young Park tied the all time record with nine held by AJ and sauce and now do Young Park and he broke a record by getting the last eight consecutive items. Eight in a row is the all time record. There were people asking if Doll gets the first one at eight, does that record continue? I would guess why not.

As the lowest seed, you get to decide your fate and the caller's fates.

Which one out of one through four do you want to play today?

Well?

I pulled my friends who have texted me, just my husband, and he says three, So I'm gonna go with three.

Lucky, he's going three, so I'm gonna go three.

Okay, wouldn't that be cool? If you won somebody seventy two thousand, five hundreds.

I feel good. I was a little nervous. You know, this is a tough, tough crew. It worked out well. I forgot to do this the first time around, but I wanted to the first. After the first match it was a little more tinily, but it's still timely continued run the last win, this win the next game. I just want to dedicate this to a friend and a fan of The Power Trip, Jason Wood, who was lost way too soon earlier in July, and a lot of

So well done, very well done, Well done. Another one wow Wow, don't yeh TV last night like crazy too with the football game.

Yeah, they're a handful that I thought we're going to come up at Boston College, Columbia Business Card.

That's the point where we're at that point in the game where Corey mentioned off everything we were talking. He's got like ninety five for each of these these letter combinations, and we've done enough that it probably was last time.

Boston College, Boston Cream.

Boston Commons. Let's go around the room. Though quickly Paris, you admitted you have never heard the phrase bell cow. No, you're checking yourselves a little bit because that's the one I.

Was stuck on batting champion for that one, like consistent leading the way, Okay, I was going to be like one.

I was like, whatever was wrong, don't swing instructor.

Look, I was a yeah, that was a really good guess. Chris, you would have kicked some masks in this list.

I had four at one point. Yeah, I was. But there's no pressure when you're not playing, so there was no pressure on.

Definitely facts. Wow, I'm just happy to be here a.

J into the finals, either Justin Guard, Tom Pelo, Sero, Tyler, George or Zach Halberson will be in the finals. That's two weeks from today. Somebody has to win next week. By definition, one of them has to win. Uh, that's gonna be what Matt Minster, Tommy Yolsen, Mike Grim and did I say, Laura Lambert, Mike Grim, Tommy, I.

Really don't know?

And aj the you know it happened again where instantly in my head as soon as you rang and I went, oh, damn it, it's breakfast cereal and he's going to get it right, and you did. I love cereal every time I get it right after your Sorry, well not all of them.

So what I did.

Let's go back to when you picked pack at three? Is this lost now on your husband because he told you to pick up someone else to blame.

It's his fault. No, he's the reason that jackpot didn't go off.

Yeah, he should feel he should feel bad right now. No, I know, those were really good clues. I was actually surprised we went that long and some of the clues and still didn't get things like there were a lot of clues named and we were all stumped.

So those were really really well done.

Spinning as soon as he says corporate I'm waiting.

Till like fifthlue. Regardless, I still don't know how you got basketball court. I mean, it's amazingly rectangular, but that'sh and your only thing that popped into my head that was.

Rectang you're confident enough to go was that after clue one.

You know, you know, after you get away with like white rice and a couple of comments like that, you know it's swinging for the fences that feel so bad.

No, aj, you got you got the winner on Booze Cruise, which is infamous around here because obviously iHeart has like giant yacht parties and we just, yeah, we go crazy internationally pretty much whenever we.

Want, right, the biggest names in the world will.

Perform on the yacht and then we sent like a thousand listeners a day to go to it.

It's pretty cool, a little vantage. I've been on one or two in my life.

I've actually been on Mintkah.

Kings Involve even realized what she just your way after that here, that's just.

Cool.

Cool what you think about that?

That really ruined it for other Vikings teams to have Booze cruises because now they just can't do it because you can't.

You can't go down that path, but they're fun.

Can't.

I'll tell you what.

The twins could use a booze cruise right now.

Yeah, their own heads.

Man.

That used to be the trick in the.

Mark I'm talking about.

Tatum forgot about the bigs, both the love Burn and Mark forgot about a surprise.

Whoops. So you said Buckston is close to coming back. I feel like he's getting close.

Who else is like not even remotely close? Like Joe Ryan's done, done's.

Done done, Proxy, It's done done. Christatics not back regular season.

Okay, so so the cavalry is not coming necessarily at some point soonersh.

I mean there's cavalry coming, but like there's also been cavalry lost along the way.

Interesting. Joe Ryan was a big one.

Bailey Over has been a gigantic surprise this year though, right.

Outside of a couple of bad starts, he's been awesome.

The consistency not a surprise, but the like higher upper level, like true ace level outings.

That's been a very pleasant surprise. I think for them. Let's go what's the kid's name?

Though?

Is that be something or other? Mathew? Is he legit or not? Down the road, I mean already.

The thing is they used to when they got to this point an injuries, they used to be calling up just kind of like journeyman guys. But they've the the just kind of the back the back filling, the restocking of the farm system. The player dev has gotten to a point where everybody they're calling up now as a dude at least like they're all like young guys who

A body to fill, which is what they've been both paste.

This is an odd question, probably, but just because we know him a little bit, we love the saint so much. Is Guardy's young son? Is he somebody on the fast track to the majors at some point as far as you know, have you heard about that?

It's kind of tricky because the major league managerial pipeline, or just like what constitutes a major league manager and how you get there has changed so much over the years.

So what you're saying is Parish missed his window to coach at the NHL level as well, because.

Now he's too old long time ago. What are you forty seven?

Yeah?

Oh yeah, you're over, way too over. Yeah, I'm almost dead. Any more of those wild card spots for me?

Maybe next year though all of you, of course have qualified for next year.

Congratulations sta.

Aja, great job. The goat continues that a boy goat to be a man.

Unbelievable. Yeah, yeah, great job.

Thanks to Marty Gellner, Thanks to is Zach Elverson, Mark Parrish, A J. Monster, Doe Young, Park, Tatum, Everett. We will see you Tuesday, right with some changes.

Yeah, there's some changes being made, guys.

Changes on Tuesday.

Is that like ominous enough or not to just say changes Tuesday sounded pretty ominous.

Yeah, man, I wonder where that is gonna be, Uh, Tuesday, See you Tuesday. I am waiting for.

Days you too, have a love here. Have a great weekend, everybody,
