Main Theme

This episode of Garage Logic is driven by the high-profile sentencing of Aimee Bock, the ringleader in Minnesota’s "Feeding Our Future" food fraud scandal, and broader frustrations with public corruption, government oversight, and seemingly selective prosecution. The GL crew tackles why only Bock—and not state employees, administrators, or officials who enabled or oversaw the theft—faces severe consequences. The discussion expands into critiques of local and federal investigations, political leadership (particularly in the Walls and Trump administrations), and the persistent issue of government bloat and accountability.

---

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Food Fraud Scandal & Sentencing of Aimee Bock

Time: 02:54 – 15:17

• Central Question: Why is Aimee Bock receiving 41 years for her role in the food fraud, when state employees who initially enabled the theft are not facing prosecution?
• Joe Soucheray: Challenges the narrative that Bock is the sole thief, arguing the real initial theft happened at the state level, with administrators and employees who directed or approved the funds.
• The GLers question why officials like former Department of Education head Heather Mueller or Human Services commissioner Jody Harpstead haven’t faced consequences, citing administrative job turnovers timed with scandal developments.
• Quote:

  "The money was initially stolen from the taxpayers of Minnesota. Amy Bock did not initially steal the taxpayers money. That money was stolen by employees who had the means to steal it."
  — Joe Soucheray [07:32]

• Frustration that Bock may be a “fall guy” (or "fall gal") who shields higher-ups from scrutiny.
• Reference to Bock attempting to leak information to the press—but “no names in there.”
• The feds’ ongoing investigation is highlighted as only "the first shoe to drop," with the possibility more prosecutions may follow.
• Quote:

  “To quote the great Chris Carter, you gots to have a fall guy in your crew. That’s what Amy Bock is.”
  — Chris Reavers [06:31]

---

2. Government Oversight & Accountability

Time: 09:02 – 15:17 (recurring throughout)

• Persistent disbelief at why Minnesota state administrators, agency leaders, and political figures avoid accountability amidst such massive fraud.
• The crew doubts the federal investigation is as thorough as claimed, suspecting certain "stones have not been overturned."
• Quote:

  "I'm not sure. I'm of the opinion that there are certain stones, for whatever reason, that have not been overturned."
  — Joe Soucheray [11:20]

• Broader critique of the Walls administration as “corrupt”, “terribly incompetent”, and too ideologically invested to enforce accountability.

---

3. Other Minnesota Fraud Cases

Time: 17:02 – 18:13

• Feds charge 15 people in a $90M housing and autism services fraud, showing repeated agency vulnerability and government redundancy.
• Soucheray claims fraud is abetted by “government too large, too redundant, and nowhere the buck stops,” referencing state agencies running overlapping programs.
• Quote:

  "It's a reminder the thieves have benefited mightily by the state having a government that's too redundant, too large, and nowhere the buck stops."
  — Joe Soucheray [18:11]

---

4. Political Rants: Trump, State Politics, and Accountability

Time: 13:49 – 28:22

• Soucheray pivots to criticism of Donald Trump, inserting biting commentary on Trump’s proposed “arch” in D.C., Republican politicians' weakness, and the unaccountability of both parties.
• Satirical takes on government idolatry (comparison of U.S. and dictatorship monuments), and the dysfunction of political leadership at state and national levels.
• Memorable Barbs:

  "Congress is full of terribly weak Republicans ... The rest of them have microscopic testicles."
  — Joe Soucheray [23:02]

• Recurring "Trump twist" challenge—hosts encourage Soucheray to sarcastically blame Trump for any topic as an ongoing bit.

5. Letters from Listeners & Local Color

Time: 34:06 – 42:00

• Listener mail touches on:
  • Continued political interference in "Feeding Our Future" and fraud.
  • The lack of accountability for powerful state actors.
  • Recap of a Jeff Dayton concert and observations about generational (and patriotic) differences in audiences.
• Listener Quote:

  "A room full of people who can casually drop $65 on a random Thursday night concert could not muster applause for a man expressing pride in the country that's given all of us so much."
  — Katie Tierney, listener [37:56-38:01]

---

6. Local News Roundup

Time: 46:38 – 55:37

• Minneapolis council blocks funding for a new police/fire training center—vote breakdowns and banter over council members’ motivations.
• Police and community news items: alleged criminal behavior by officers; a major drug operation run out of a child’s bedroom; local infrastructure projects.
• Coverage closes with personal takes and cynical asides on how all news can be “twisted” to involve Trump.

---

7. Sports Talk & Local Culture

Time: 75:46 – 98:32

• Minnesota Twins and MLB – the “state of baseball,” grievances about modern player conduct, nostalgia for earlier eras.
• Hockey playoff talk, Montreal Canadiens, and sports history trivia.
• Light humor woven into local traditions, generational changes, and family anecdotes.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Soucheray on Bock’s Sentence:

  "She was only part of the laying on of hands that had the stolen money in their grip." [09:56]

Tone and Style

The GL crew’s tone is irreverent, sardonic, and rooted in “common sense Midwestern skepticism.” They are comfortable switching between righteous outrage over government corruption and bantering satire. The humor is acerbic, but paired with a persistent call for personal and public accountability.

---

Conclusion

This episode delivers a pointed, often funny, but ultimately serious critique of public corruption and political inertia in Minnesota. Using the “Feeding Our Future” scandal as a jumping off point, the GL crew exposes the gap between headline accountability and the real roots of malfeasance, with a resolute call to keep “pushing back.” If you’re a listener who wants to understand the structural reasons for repeated public fraud—and the personality-driven, common-sense skepticism of Garage Logic—you’ll find this episode both instructive and entertaining.

[Chris Reavers]

Hail the Flashlight King.

[Joe Sucere]

And now from the mayor's office above the boathouse on the east shore of Spoon Lake, it's Garage Logic with Chris Reavers manning technology corner, Kenny Olson from the Crabby coffee shop, John Height in the newsroom, and of course the rookie here is your Flashlight King fireworks commissioner and the keep common sense, your mayor, Joe Sushir. I have a question. Amy Bach, the supposed. Not the supposed. The convicted ringleader of the food fraud. She gets 41 years in the Huskow, right? Yep. How come she gets 41 years for stealing money? Essentially. Could we. Could we say it that way? Is that fair?

[Chris Reavers]

Misappropriating funds.

[Joe Sucere]

Thank you.

[Chris Reavers]

Yes.

[Joe Sucere]

Why doesn't the state employee who initially stole the money also be on the hook?

[Chris Reavers]

I was wondering the same thing.

[Joe Sucere]

Why is it Walls or one of the agency heads, whoever okayed this. Because we now know with certainty that this was known about.

[Chris Reavers]

Because yesterday I.

[Joe Sucere]

Can I finish the thought? Because this was known about. So you. This. The theft starts with a human being in either the department of. Well, the Department of Education in this case might have been Heather Mueller, who conveniently enough left when the BLEEP hit the fan. Okay. But somebody took her place and that money kept flowing to. To the food fraudster. So the initial thieves work at the state capitol. Then Amy Bach gets the paper bag full of money and she starts distributing it to all the fraudsters who claim they were feeding kids. Well, why does Amy Bach get 41 years? But the people back in the State House, they're still going unscathed. They stole the money first. Now, I'm not saying Box should be off the hook, but Box should be. She shouldn't be the only one sentenced to such a heavy penalty. How about the initial thief who works for the state of Minnesota?

[Kenny Olson]

I got you.

[Matthew]

That thief has yet to be named. Could you. And maybe it's Jody Harpstead.

[Joe Sucere]

Harpstead was Department of Human Services.

[Matthew]

Correct.

[Joe Sucere]

Heather Mueller was Department of Education.

[Matthew]

Correct.

[Joe Sucere]

And then Heather got replaced by Billy Joe Royal or whatever his name is,

[Matthew]

saying there's nothing we can do about it.

[Joe Sucere]

Right. They're also the thieves. I'm being serious.

[Kenny Olson]

So are you saying that if she's given 41 years, then why is everybody else unscathed or not taking a test?

[Joe Sucere]

Well, another way to say it, 41 years, which I don't care by the way, let her go away forever. 41 years is a real statement. That's. Look at how hard we came down on this. 41 years. But she was only the secondary thief. This can't be new territory. I mean, this has to be.

[Matthew]

No, no, this has been covered. But we just need a name. We need to find somebody. And that's what we've been grousing about, us and others, for years.

[Joe Sucere]

Yeah, she was in the back three years.

[Chris Reavers]

To quote the great Chris Carter, you gots to have a fall guy in your crew. That's what Amy Bach is. She's the fall guy in the crew for everybody.

[Joe Sucere]

Then why did you save herself 41 years? Why isn't she trumpeting the names of the people who initially stole the money?

[Matthew]

She tried to by sneaking information to the Star Tribune, which was illegal. But there's no names in there, you know?

[Kenny Olson]

You know, then if we're so serious.

[Matthew]

My.

[Kenny Olson]

Again, for so serious about 41 years,

[Joe Sucere]

you want to justify your entire career and finally prove me something?

[Kenny Olson]

Not really.

[Joe Sucere]

Get her on with us. Get Amy Bach on with us from cell block three. She's been doing interviews. That's true. By zoom.

[Kenny Olson]

Okay. And that will justify my 30?

[Joe Sucere]

Everything. It takes care of everything. That means your arms can remain shaped

[Kenny Olson]

and you're still picking up the tab for dinner.

[Joe Sucere]

Everything.

[Kenny Olson]

Okay, now I got motivation.

[Chris Reavers]

You get to skate. Nice.

[Kenny Olson]

Yes, I will.

[John Height]

For real.

[Joe Sucere]

The money was initially stolen from the taxpayers of Minnesota. Amy Bach did not initially steal the taxpayers money. That money was stolen by employees who had the means to steal it. They had the machinery in place. They had the machines that wrote the checks and stamped them out and put a stamp signature on them. And that money went to Amy Bach. It was initially stolen by employees of the state of Minnesota. Why should this. Why should America or the estate settle for that remaining unknown? Why is that? Why is that okay to be unknown? Help me, staff. Anyone? Anyone? Why is that okay to remain unknown? And none of us have an answer.

[Kenny Olson]

No, but it makes sense if 41 years. If they're that serious about it.

[Joe Sucere]

Well, show you, amy. You're getting 41 years for stealing that money. Okay. She certainly had a role in it, but somebody in the state office building or the Department of Education or the Department of Human Services, with approval, was stealing the money first.

[Matthew]

I don't understand why Harpstead. Maybe she has been investigated, but it doesn't seem like she has. She quit under, you know, allegations and this, that and the other. Just as recent as January, right of.

[Joe Sucere]

No, not this year.

[Matthew]

25, I believe.

[Kenny Olson]

Who was the one that was gone before her day in court? What was her name? The lady that had Mueller. No, Mueller. Was gone a long time ago.

[Joe Sucere]

Yeah, Mueller wasn't 25. I think Mueller left in maybe 21.

[Kenny Olson]

Oh, this was the recent one.

[Joe Sucere]

Jody Harstadt.

[Pat]

No.

[Kenny Olson]

Gurren or Gavin or.

[Joe Sucere]

I don't know. I don't know what you're talking about. Gandhi. Oh, that was the most recent. Shereen Gandhi, the day before she was going to be grilled, was released.

[Kenny Olson]

Well, that should tell you all.

[Josh Arnold]

It's.

[Kenny Olson]

This is not all. Amy Bach. You're right, Joe.

[Joe Sucere]

Amy Bach obviously played a. A kingpin role in this. They got Amy. They nailed Amy. Amy's going away for 41 years pending all the millions of appeals that will take place. She's going away for 41 years. She was only part of the laying on of hands that had the stolen money in their grip.

[Matthew]

As far as Shireen goes, we've had. We had Fay on twice. Faye Bernstein, whistleblower, still working at dhs. And I pressed her on the Sherene thing because I really wanted to point a picture, point a finger at Shireen. And Faye assured us, no, she is not one of the guilties. She was only following orders from above that she's one.

[Joe Sucere]

No. Then she's one of the guilties following illegal orders from above. Then the person above her is also guilty.

[Matthew]

Faye didn't seem to think so.

[Joe Sucere]

Well, what does Faye know?

[Pat]

I'm not gonna bite on that hook.

[John Height]

Let's assume this is a federal investigation, right?

[Matthew]

Yeah.

[John Height]

I mean, it's not a state investigation. It's federal.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[John Height]

Wouldn't they be trying to overturn every stone to see if there's something else going on?

[Joe Sucere]

I'm not sure. I'm of the opinion that there are certain stones, for whatever reason, that have not been overturned.

[Matthew]

Well, in talking to Joe Thompson off the air, there are. Oh, yeah, there. There are a lot of investigations that they have not divulged, and they are leaving no stone unturned because this strikes.

[Chris Reavers]

Oh, I'm sorry, Ken.

[Matthew]

The people in that office and their superiors are saying this current crop of attorneys and investigators are top notch, and they're just picking up where Joel left off.

[Joe Sucere]

Okay, great.

[Chris Reavers]

Because this strikes me as Royce trying to put out a forest fire with his pan of water.

[Joe Sucere]

Right.

[Chris Reavers]

Do you know what I mean? They just. They just don't have enough people.

[Joe Sucere]

They do now. The feds have swooped into town.

[Chris Reavers]

I mean, you've got the state attorney general trying to.

[Joe Sucere]

Well, he's no help.

[Chris Reavers]

That's what I'm saying. But yet he's acting like he's being Part of this. He's the.

[Joe Sucere]

No, he's a. He's. He'll be investigated eventually. You would think so. But I don't have any trouble saying, and I've been saying it for quite some time, that whole Walls administration is corrupt. And we. We've made great inroads in understanding the ideological and philosophical excuses they're clinging to. We're neighborly people. We're too generous. No, you're also terribly, terribly incompetent. And you look the other way on law breaking because the money happened to be going to people that you must feel guilty about.

[Pat]

So.

[Joe Sucere]

But you're guilty. And you got one white woman who's getting 41 years in prison and no one else. I mean, Abdul Salami. Salami is getting 12 months and give back your BMW. The whole thing is. Is. Is out of whack, just like the corruption itself was terribly out of whack. I guess it sounds like I'm defending Amy Bachelor. I'm not.

[Chris Reavers]

You're wanting just as harsh of penalties for everybody else involved.

[Joe Sucere]

I don't know why she's carrying the burden by herself. She was only a secondary recipient of the theft. The first theft occurred by people in positions of power in the Walls Administration. They stole the money. They gave it to Amy B.

[Pat]

I

[Joe Sucere]

don't like this arch that Trump wants. I have a little trouble with it.

[Matthew]

Wait a second. Before you move on, she's taking the heat for what happened with feeding our future, right? We still haven't got to the DHS people, Right?

[Joe Sucere]

Right, right, right.

[Matthew]

So Amy's not taking the heat for the whole sweeping floor fraud mess.

[Joe Sucere]

No, but she got 41 years for just defeating our future.

[Matthew]

So we, in turn, shouldn't we be looking forward to that same sort of thing maybe happening to Jody or whoever they're investigating?

[Joe Sucere]

Well, based on the way things are playing out, I'm not going to hold my breath.

[Matthew]

And you know what's going to be a while?

[Chris Reavers]

You asked the question earlier. Why wouldn't she be giving up names with her now being in solitary confinement for the next 40 years?

[Joe Sucere]

I don't know that it's solitary.

[Chris Reavers]

Okay, well, whatever. She's injured, she's in jail for the next. Okay, I'm sorry for that technicality.

[Joe Sucere]

Well, it's an important technicality. Why in God's name would she be in solitary confinement? Well, she's in prison. Continue your thoughts.

[Chris Reavers]

Now that she is held captive. Now that she's held captive, wouldn't that then make her more likely to help cooperate with those that are trying to prosecute this. In other words, this might just be the first shoe to drop in this internal investigation.

[Joe Sucere]

Well, I'm gonna reinterpret your words. Cause I think you're on the right track. However, accidentally.

[Chris Reavers]

Wait, was I just insulted or complimented?

[Kenny Olson]

You just stumbled on that is what happened there, Chris.

[Joe Sucere]

Well, in other words, I think a simple way to say what you're saying is we could get her on the air, but she ain't telling us squat. Cause she's saving what she's telling to the feds.

[Kenny Olson]

Right.

[Joe Sucere]

Okay.

[Chris Reavers]

In other words, there could be more of this coming down, but she's the first shoe to drop.

[Joe Sucere]

Now, John had this yesterday, and we gave it short shrift, but John had it. We just. This kind of just sailed by us yesterday. The federals.

[Matthew]

I knew all about it. Didn't sail by me at all.

[Joe Sucere]

Yeah, well, you didn't say anything. And this didn't become a topic yesterday.

[Matthew]

Well, you were so busy bashing Trump that I couldn't get a word in it.

[Pat]

Wow.

[Joe Sucere]

And I've only started. I haven't even started that yet today.

[John Height]

Hey, can I say one more Bach thing before we.

[Pat]

Sure.

[John Height]

You yesterday talked about her getting out early.

[Joe Sucere]

I would assume that some effort will be made.

[John Height]

There is no parole for federal offenses. I found out. I studied this yesterday. So she'll be in 85% of the things she has to serve, which means 36 years at least.

[Matthew]

She'll die in there.

[Joe Sucere]

Yeah. How old is she? 45.

[John Height]

Yes, 45, I believe.

[Joe Sucere]

What's 45 and 41?

[John Height]

86.

[Joe Sucere]

80. Come on. 86. Yeah. She'll die in prison unless they. Unless she starts singing in that big canary voice. Well, despite Kenny's constant interruptions, I. I would tell you this. I would tell you yesterday. Okay, kenny.

[Matthew]

Well, we.

[Joe Sucere]

15 people are charged with stealing 90 million in our taxpayer money, the Fed said.

[Kenny Olson]

But now I wonder if the feds will act differently than our Minnesota types that are saying, golly gee, it was.

[Joe Sucere]

Colin McDonald, the head of the Department of Justice fraud Enforcement division, said charges brought this week targeted shocking schemes that reaped $90 million in funds. These were 15 thieves in the now defunct housing Stabilization Services program, which was designed to connect homeless Minnesotans with housing in the early intensive behavioral development intervention program for children with autism. So once again, it's a reminder that the thieves have benefited mightily by the state of Minnesota having a government that's too redundant, too large, and nowhere the buck stops. The government of Minnesota is so massive. Remember, we went down the list, one

[Kenny Olson]

day, 20, 20 of the same programs,

[Joe Sucere]

and 10 of them were redundant. So here now, with housing stabilization and autism, no one got housing help. If anybody did, it was minor. Nobody got autism help because those autism centers sprung up everywhere. And, you know, they were going into abandoned Dairy Queens and suddenly it's an autism center. So there's 90 million right there. 90 million. Amy supposedly is on the hook for only 250 million. Thompson continues to believe that the total is going to be more than $9 billion. Walsh should be in jail.

[Kenny Olson]

That's not going to happen.

[Matthew]

We. Yeah, we just don't have the evidence.

[Joe Sucere]

I don't like arches.

[Kenny Olson]

The arch to tri.

[Matthew]

TRUMP, it's the St. Louis Arch.

[Joe Sucere]

TRUMP wants a new arch in Washington because he said, we don't have an arch.

[Matthew]

The Trump Arch.

[Joe Sucere]

We need an arch.

[Matthew]

Let's throw it up.

[Joe Sucere]

250ft tall.

[Matthew]

Nice. How many yards is that?

[Kenny Olson]

Could you fall from that three times?

[Joe Sucere]

75 yards.

[Matthew]

I can do the math.

[Joe Sucere]

Maybe my question is, that's tall. But what. What is it going to block the view of? Apparently it blocks the view from the Lincoln Memorial to the. To Arlington Cemetery. Among the things that this country had figured out, however, intentionally or unintentionally, one of the things this great country figured

[Pat]

out

[Joe Sucere]

is that the seat of government was not to be a source of idolatry. The seat of government in this country has always been fairly modest compared to dictatorships. For example, there's a beautiful Lincoln Memorial. There's a beautiful reflecting pool. There's some beautiful. There's Jefferson seated on his chair. And none of those entities dominated the landscape. They were a part of it. It was comfortable. The White House itself was the old colonial design.

[Kenny Olson]

They blend in.

[Joe Sucere]

Old colonial design. That gave some comfort to the idea that it was true to the roots of the founding of the company. And in fact, much of the White House had survived an initial attack on it during the. Was it Revolutionary War?

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah.

[John Height]

War of 1812.

[Joe Sucere]

War of 1812. And this corrupt turd comes into office. And now you've got a ballroom leaving the grounds of the White House right now looking like a construction site with no one really knowing the plans. And it was the ballroom. He said, well, that'll be built by private funds. That turns out not to be true. The arch, he's claiming, will be paid for by the private funds left over from building the ballroom. Well, that can't be true because there aren't any. So this country, it's not the type of country where we needed this arch. To him, it's topped with. It looks like a big gold. What? Angel spreading its wings or something. For all I know, it's his face. I'm being serious. I have no idea what's being designed for this thing. We don't.

[Kenny Olson]

You don't think we'll be talking about this arch just like we would with the respect that we would for the Lincoln Memorial or things of that in that Washington Monument?

[Joe Sucere]

No, they were put up to honor great people.

[Kenny Olson]

Well, okay. This guy made America great again.

[Pat]

Right?

[Chris Reavers]

Will the. Will the arch. Will that go over the top of the UFC ring for the.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah, they're gonna have a. They're gonna have a nice amphitheater there, too.

[Joe Sucere]

All the commissioners to okay the arch are controlled by him. He appointed them.

[Chris Reavers]

Oh, that's good.

[Joe Sucere]

They don't have to answer to Congress, just like the ballroom apparently didn't have to. And Congress is full of terribly weak Republicans who have not stood up to this guy, including every single Minnesota representative. They're all. Well, one of them is a woman. The rest of them have microscopic testicles.

[Pat]

They're not.

[Joe Sucere]

You'd have to put them on a. On a slide tray, and then maybe you could identify them.

[Kenny Olson]

I'll take them off the list of potential guests.

[Chris Reavers]

Start adding that.

[Pat]

Let's get.

[Joe Sucere]

Aren't you sick of this?

[Kenny Olson]

I'm sick of the yes.

[Joe Sucere]

Are you sick of this BS

[Kenny Olson]

because

[Joe Sucere]

you little tiny ball people.

[Pat]

Right.

[John Height]

A new expression.

[Chris Reavers]

That's why we needed a ball room. Are they for all those tiny balls?

[Kenny Olson]

They're ltbp, Right. Ltbp.

[Joe Sucere]

The first thing you did when you got in here was about how much it took to fill your truck.

[Chris Reavers]

It was pretty spendy this morning.

[Joe Sucere]

Well, you were shooting. You got a guy that's running a war that he done know how to get out of, and. And maybe he doesn't want to get out of if he can just make it last till November. Aren't you sick of this shit? This is ridiculous. Everything he does is ridiculous. He breaks things, and then we have to go clean it.

[Kenny Olson]

Well, we're stuck with him now.

[Joe Sucere]

And when he's gone, he shouldn't be stuck with him. He's more than fulfilled elimination by the 25th amendment. More. More than anyone in history.

[Kenny Olson]

Maybe the LTB people can lead the charge.

[Joe Sucere]

And I know that you people that find me distasteful for this. You are very comfortable with corrupt, immorality, and no ethics. I don't know what that says about your life.

[Matthew]

I love how you just assign things to people you Never.

[Joe Sucere]

You all have Trump derangement syndrome.

[Matthew]

Yeah, Even the millionaires.

[Joe Sucere]

Do you like the fact that he's taken $2 billion a year money with another panel impaneled by him to give out money to people he'll claim were aggrieved? And I'll stick to my prediction. Not one single person's gonna get a nickel of money. He's keeping all that.

[John Height]

There is some Republican pushback to that now, too.

[Joe Sucere]

What are they Targeted in primaries and defeated. And we'll spend 32 million to get rid of them.

[John Height]

Probably.

[Joe Sucere]

If you don't give your. If you don't give your obedience to Trump, you're done. That's why these. These microscopic ball people who represent another acronym here.

[Kenny Olson]

Hang on.

[Joe Sucere]

They don't say a word because they love the third rail.

[Matthew]

You know, I really, really wish Kamala and Walls were president and vice president. This whole country would be way, way better.

[John Height]

We know what the Constitution still was

[Matthew]

at least frustrating that they're not president and vice president.

[Joe Sucere]

Need I remind you that I said a thousand times, both parties delivered the worst possible candidates. I voted for neither of them. I can't even remember the name of the guy I voted for. Imagine a future. Shut up.

[Chris Reavers]

Happy Memorial Day. G. Ella,

[Kenny Olson]

did you vote for the guy that used to. The mad factor, that used to run up against Don Frazier, Whoever or the guy he would.

[Joe Sucere]

Well, it wasn't Trump. It wasn't Trump and it wasn't Harris. They were the two worst choices.

[Kenny Olson]

It wasn't Leslie Davis.

[Joe Sucere]

That might have been. What the hell? I don't care.

[Pat]

Happy birthday.

[Joe Sucere]

A rusted stove sitting on the curb somewhere would have been a better choice than either of those two.

[Matthew]

There was early or as late as six months ago. You. You were. You would occasionally say, I like what he's done with the wall.

[Joe Sucere]

I liked.

[Matthew]

I like when we first went into Iran.

[Joe Sucere]

I like the climate. I like the climate attitude that he has, which is no attitude. He knows it's bs.

[Matthew]

I like he's keeping the illegal immigrants out. When he first invaded Iran, you said something about we need to get their nuclear capabilities, but you don't.

[Joe Sucere]

Yeah, but you know what I think? I think that task has been lost. Iran is insisting. You're not getting anything. You're not getting our nuclear dust. You're not getting a damn thing. Iran is enjoying this.

[Matthew]

So do we back down then? Iran is enjoying this. According to who?

[Joe Sucere]

Iran? Yeah.

[Matthew]

Okay. And you believe Iran? Before you believe anything in the United

[Joe Sucere]

States, Iran is no more unbelievable than Trump.

[Kenny Olson]

I don't know the list of Kenny's commonalities is growing here. Keep going, Kenny. What else did you.

[Matthew]

No, I'm just poking. Truth be told, I'm just having fun with Joe.

[Joe Sucere]

It's show business.

[Kenny Olson]

It really is. You don't really believe everything you said earlier today.

[Joe Sucere]

No, I do. I actually, I do. I do.

[Kenny Olson]

Let the record be straight.

[Joe Sucere]

I don't have Trump derangement syndrome. The people who think Trump is a functioning human being are deranged.

[Chris Reavers]

You also don't have a clock.

[Matthew]

I've been waiting for the last 10 minutes.

[Joe Sucere]

I got it in for you.

[Matthew]

Thank you, thank you.

[Joe Sucere]

Joe Sucere, North American Banking Co. Here's what sets them apart from all of those other big gargantuan national banks. They take the time to get to know you and your family and also your business. It's that personalized service. I've experienced it. In fact, just this week, Christian over at the 50th in France location helped me out and it was wonderful. It's a great experience. That's the difference between North American Banking company and everybody else because they have been investing in your success since 1998 when they made a promise to deliver a better banking experience. And you know what? You get that feeling whether you walk into 50th in France, Roseville, Woodbury, Hastings, Shoreview and also in Maple Grove. But see it for yourself online. They have the same updated online and mobile banking tools as all of those other banks, but it's that key community service that's the difference between them and North American Banking Co.

[Joe Sucere]

a note from Steve Mulholland who lives in the belly of the beast, and he writes, I'm sure you saw the Star Tribune story about feeding our future. It's the one where politics might have been involved. It was the other day, but it's worth noting that Omar Fateh's name came up. You'll recall Fateh challenged Frye in last year's mayoral elections. You could say Minneapolis dodged a bullet with Fry winning reelection, but there's already so much that is wrong with our city and state that it hardly seems like a notch in the win column. From the article quote In April 2021, State Senator Omar Fateh, DFL Minneapolis, met with top excuse me, met with top Education Department officials to explain why resolving the reimbursement issue was critical to maintaining community trust in these important programs. Talking about feeding the future, According to an April 26, 2021 email from the senator. A day later, the Education Department's government relations director responded by announcing the department was lifting the payment block due to the concerns expressed by community organizations represented by the senator. That is wonderful, fantastic news, fatteh wrote back. And then Steve concludes, so many layers, so much fraud. As you said the other day, we'll never get to the bottom of it all. Keep pushing back Loyal GL listener in the belly of the beast Liberal Lakes area of Minneapolis Steve, I don't know how much clearer it can be that we continue to see the reflection and the influence of people that hold office and have jobs with the state where they don't hold office. They're not elected, but they're running these programs. I don't know how much more information is needed to corroborate that. I had a note from Katie Tierney. She calls herself the Forgotten Gl er cause what one time I didn't remember right just once?

[Kenny Olson]

Boy, they never forget.

[Joe Sucere]

Really milking that.

[Kenny Olson]

They never forget, do they?

[Joe Sucere]

Hail the Flashlight King.

[Chris Reavers]

Hail you.

[Joe Sucere]

Last night my husband Tom and I had an impromptu date night to see Jeff Dayton at the Dakota Cool after Reivers kept hyping the show on GL and the Scramble.

[Matthew]

Good job, Chris.

[Joe Sucere]

Jeff played a mix of Glen Campbell favorites, some originals, and a classic country medley that kicked off with I Don't Think Hank Done it this Way.

[Matthew]

Oh my favorite.

[Joe Sucere]

Overall, she writes it was fantastic. Now she has a few observations for the broader GL community. First, at the youthful age of 53, Tom and I were among the youngest people in the room by roughly 15 years. There were a handful of 20 somethings there, but they were clearly supporting Jeff's guest performer, Sam Ryden, who has just turned 25 and was absolutely phenomenal. John Height should look him up. Frankly, John could probably pick up a guitar tip or two from the kid. You heard of him, John?

[John Height]

I haven't, no. I'm gonna check him out though.

[Joe Sucere]

Early in the show, Jeff mentioned how proud he was to be a Minnesotan, which earned thunderous applause from the crowd. Then he said he was proud to be an American. At that point, only Tom, me and one guy across the room who I strongly suspect was a fellow frat packer. What does that mean?

[Chris Reavers]

That's a group associated with the weekly scramble podcast that Mike Fratelloni has dubbed your frat Packers.

[Matthew]

Yes.

[Joe Sucere]

As in the. As in the Green Bay Packers?

[Chris Reavers]

No.

[Joe Sucere]

Oh, yeah. I found that genuinely disappointing. A room full of horted. I found that genuinely disappointing. A room full of people who can casually drop $65 on a random Thursday night concert could not muster applause for a man expressing pride in the country that's given all of us so much, especially heading into Memorial Day weekend when we're supposed to remember those who sacrificed everything for our freedom. My favorite moment came about 2/3 of the way through the show when Jeff suddenly asked, where's Reivers? Is he out there? And I got to proudly yell he didn't show up. Jeff also thanked the GLers in attendance for the support and mentioned he'll be appearing with the show at the state Fair on the final Friday. Here I was thinking maybe this would finally be the year Joe abandoned the fair entirely. I guess. I guess we're not too. After the show, Tom wanted to meet Jeff because he thought Jeff might know his cousin, Mike Daly, a fairly well known pedal steel guitarist in Nashville. Know him, John?

[John Height]

I do not.

[Joe Sucere]

While waiting in line behind the elderly meet and greet crowd, Tom leaned over and whispered, don't worry, this shouldn't take much longer. I think the shuttle back to the home leaves soon. What a shock.

[Chris Reavers]

What a shock.

[Joe Sucere]

What a scalding bam. Katie, Katie, Katie. Kapow.

[Pat]

Wow.

[Joe Sucere]

It was after all, 9pm as it turns out, Jeff does know Mike. So we ended up having a really great conversation about Nashville musicians and pedal steel players. John Heights should probably look up Mike Daly too. I think he'd be impressed. And honestly Impressing John Height is becoming a personal mission for me at this point.

[Pat]

Wow.

[Joe Sucere]

All in all, it was a great night, slightly marred only by the lukewarm response to patriotism at the beginning of the show. Thanks to Reivers for the recommendation. It was absolutely worth the drive from East Union into the seedy underbelly of Minneapolis. And if Reivers had shown up, we would have bought him a few drinks. Maybe next time. Always pushing back Katie Tierney, the forgotten G Eller in East Union, Minnesota.

[John Height]

I did some research while you were reading.

[Pat]

Sure.

[John Height]

Mike Daly is the pedal steel player in George Strait's band, so obviously I've heard him play. Yeah, I just was not familiar with the name.

[Chris Reavers]

I apologize. I wasn't able to unavoidably detail. No, I just wasn't able to make it work yesterday. I apologize. But I did text with Jeff yesterday.

[Joe Sucere]

Well, Jake Johnson writes, so I'm a little confused by the beginning of yesterday's show. Are you guys doing a show today or this weekend at the kickoff, the summer at the state fair. Yes, I would like to attend. If you are, please let me know what time. I think Ingy would also like to attend. Thanks, Jake.

[Matthew]

Is that back to the 50s?

[Joe Sucere]

No, no, there's. We're not. We're not there. We're not there this weekend.

[Chris Reavers]

We're not there.

[Kenny Olson]

We are not going to be there.

[Joe Sucere]

There's some sort of foreplay fair event where you can get a dog and ride, but we're. What about there?

[Kenny Olson]

We are.

[Joe Sucere]

What about there?

[Matthew]

What about back to the 50s, though? Are we going to be there?

[Joe Sucere]

I have no idea. That. Not my department.

[Chris Reavers]

All joking aside, doesn't the Mikulski family

[Joe Sucere]

usually attend this the back of the fair?

[Kenny Olson]

Drive through one or the drive?

[Chris Reavers]

Oh, that's the drive.

[Kenny Olson]

The drive through.

[Chris Reavers]

Gotcha.

[Kenny Olson]

I would, but.

[Matthew]

So wait a minute, Joe. Are we really gonna be at the state fair proper?

[Joe Sucere]

The real fair?

[Matthew]

Yeah, the real fair.

[Joe Sucere]

Just two Fridays.

[John Height]

Two Fridays.

[Matthew]

We're gonna be at our own stage though, Right. Where it's Comfy and Channel 5 building.

[Joe Sucere]

We have a bigger stage.

[Matthew]

Yeah, but they shuffle us here and then shuffle us off.

[Kenny Olson]

How's Kenny gonna consume if he's in the chat?

[Matthew]

I don't have to do that anymore. For some reason, it doesn't bother me.

[Joe Sucere]

He got over his anxiety.

[Kenny Olson]

I love that about you.

[Joe Sucere]

He got over his anxiety.

[Chris Reavers]

You know what is this weekend, by the way? We should pick Joe up and head down to Elko for the flea market.

[Joe Sucere]

out of town this weekend, stock up on bugs. Be gone this afternoon on the way to your outstate destination. We're gonna have rain tonight. That's gonna get the bugs hatching. Then they're gonna come out Memorial Day. What did you say Joe? Highs in the 80s right?

[Joe Sucere]

Yep.

[Matthew]

But there's no reason to worry, because Bugs Be Gone makes removing bugs from your windshield a whole lot of fun. You're actually gonna learn to love those big bug hits. When driving at night. It's kind of like the crack of a bat, only it's a splat. Just spray down the windshield. Now this. You pull into the gas station to fuel up. Spray down the windshield before you get the pump going of the grill. Spray down everything up there, let it set there while you get the pump going. Then just take that squeegee deal and wash them off like normal. There's no extra effort required here. If you're at home, you don't even have to scrub. Just get out the garden hose and spray them off. I know that seems unbelievable since you've spent a lifetime laboring to remove the bugs, but this Bugs Be Gone, it's. It's a miracle. Oh, by the way, it works on anything organic too. It's really amazing. And you're gonna find it. It's easy to find. You'll find it in the fleet farms. Check the end caps.

[Joe Sucere]

Here's Mr. John Haidt.

[John Height]

Thank you, Joe. This news brought to you by North American Banking Company. The Minneapolis City Council has vot move forward with a new police and fire training center. Correction Council members voted 7 to 6 to block a $6 million land purchase, which would have been the first step toward building a nearly $40 million facility. Council members who opposed the plan said the city should focus on basic services first. Mayor Jacob Fry and supporters argued the current training facilities are outdated. A proposal would come up again in the future. It could come up. Make that in the future, but there's no word on when that may happen.

[Matthew]

It the story doesn't have the names of the people voting against it, does it?

[Joe Sucere]

It doesn't.

[Matthew]

I can guarantee you Latricia's one of them. Rainville's probably another.

[Joe Sucere]

The new gal Shaver probably voted. Why don't they have to declare Pearl?

[Matthew]

It's not in the story.

[Joe Sucere]

Okay, but the commies don't want the cops, so they voted against it.

[John Height]

I like the fact that certain says basic services wouldn't.

[Joe Sucere]

It's not like they're going overboard taking care of that now.

[John Height]

Yeah, it's like what the Hell. Ramsey county deputies been charged after allegedly sending explicit messages to undercover accounts posing as minors. 34 year old Chad William Molner was charged with two counts of engaging in electronic communication related to sexual conduct with the child. On March 20, the East Metro Human Trafficking Task Force used an undercover account on Kik depicting a 15 year old girl, according to court documents. The criminal complaint says that between March 24th and 26th, explicit messages, pictures and videos were sent to the account from a user with the handle MidwestGuy0303. Officers executed a search warrant on Kik found that Midwest Guy0303 was registered using the email CW Muellner and reviewed conversations where he described himself as a 35 year old man with a 31 year old wife living in Wisconsin or White Bear Lake. Court records say authorities discovered a phone number linked to Molar visited his parents home in Maplewood. When Molner met up with Washington county officials, his phone was smashed, which he said happened shortly after he talked to officers on the phone. He denied knowing anything about that at first, but then said he did it because he was panicked. Molnar asked if an exception could be made for him, at which point he. He was taken into custody. His next court appearance is August 5th.

[Matthew]

What? But he's an officer, correct?

[John Height]

Yeah.

[Matthew]

How dumb is he smashing your phone?

[Kenny Olson]

Doesn't do anything pretty dumb.

[Matthew]

But I mean.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah, wiggle room here. You got.

[Joe Sucere]

Did anybody see the news last night? The video of the cop arrested?

[John Height]

Yeah, I have that, actually.

[Joe Sucere]

Okay, let's swindle.

[John Height]

John has the next story.

[Joe Sucere]

All right.

[John Height]

Dash cam video captured the arrest of a southern Minnesota police officer in Bloomington who had blood alcohol content over three times the legal limit. Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said in a video that police responded to a speeding car that eventually crashed in the 9400 block of Lindale Avenue around midnight on Thursday. Video from a Bloomington police officer's dash cam shows a man being arrested. The man in full uniform with a badge and with a gun. Hodges identified the man is 61 year old Kenneth Galleon, who works part time with the Chatfield Police Department. Hodges added that Galleon had been working at the state fairgrounds an hour before his arrest. Hodges said, don't care who you are, you come to our city and break the law, we're going to lock you up. I'm glad no member of the public was hurt.

[Joe Sucere]

Okay, I got a question. What was a guy from Chatfield doing in his full police. What work at the fair would have been being done?

[Kenny Olson]

Well, they still have security or they

[Joe Sucere]

were getting ready for the foreplay.

[Kenny Olson]

It could have been, but they also still have 24 hour security. They got cops there all the time.

[Joe Sucere]

I did not know that.

[Matthew]

Oh, hey, can we. Before we move on, let's back up two stories. I have the list. The council members that voted for the

[Joe Sucere]

PER to develop the cop training center.

[Matthew]

Thank you. Linnea Palmisano. Yeah, is I'm saying that right? Latricia Pearl Warren. She's the new gal I was referring to. Elizabeth Schaefer, Michael Rainville and Jameson Whiting. They all voted for it.

[Joe Sucere]

And then who voted against it?

[Matthew]

That would be Elliot Payne. He's the president. Jamal Osmond.

[Joe Sucere]

He's a commie. Chuggy. She's a commie.

[Matthew]

Wansley.

[Joe Sucere]

She's a real commie.

[Matthew]

And chowdery.

[Joe Sucere]

What about Chavez?

[Matthew]

And Chavez?

[Joe Sucere]

They're commies.

[John Height]

Boy, I'll bet we could have predicted that, right?

[Joe Sucere]

I think so. I think so.

[Kenny Olson]

Yikes.

[John Height]

More childs have been filed charges. More charges have been filed against two Morehead parents after an investigation into multiple students who became sick after eating suspected THC candy at Horizon Middle school in Morehead. 40 year old Martin Halst and 43 year old Amanda Holster, identified as the parents of a 12 year old student who allegedly brought the candy and on other occasions, THC vape cartridges to sell at school. When police executed a search warrant of the couple's home, they discovered five kids and their grandfather inside. That's where officers uncovered a massive drug operation, including an upstairs child's bedroom packed with boxes of THC cartridges. According to the complaint, the basement was allegedly set up like a commercial storefront, complete with display cabinets, packaging materials, a scale and and bags printed with thank you.

[Kenny Olson]

Did they float that trial balloon that the kids were just playing store?

[Joe Sucere]

Yeah.

[John Height]

Altogether, authorities found and seized over 600 grams of psilocybin mushrooms, nearly 500 grams of THC wax and hundreds of high potency cannabis infused candies. Investigators also recovered a red candy strip from the daughter's sweatshirt pocket that matched the items that were distributed at the school. The complaint says police were called to the school May 18 after a school resource officer reported 12 students appeared to be sick after consuming an unknown substance. Two students taken to the emergency room, including one student who was semi conscious after reportedly falling and hitting their head. Martin and Amanda Hulst were taken into custody by police after returning from a vacation. They both faced severe felony charges aggravated by the mass distribution of controlled substances and the direct involvement of minors.

[Kenny Olson]

I have a serious question. If you smoke dope or you drink alcohol and you're at school, you can smell it. But if you have a THC candy. Is that what high school kids are doing? You can't trace it unless you vaping. Okay.

[Joe Sucere]

Dope.

[Matthew]

They can't smell it if you're on the reefer.

[Joe Sucere]

And the tobacco companies wanted the rules eased up on vaping, so they gave Trump fuck million. He called JFK Jr. And they. They said, yeah, lighten up. The rules on that vaping. So he's a great president. If you can pay to play.

[Kenny Olson]

I got.

[Joe Sucere]

That's a true story.

[Matthew]

I have a new challenge for you, Joe, and I think you can meet this challenge.

[Joe Sucere]

I don't have enough money to play

[Matthew]

every single story that we talk about. I want your Trump angle twisted.

[Kenny Olson]

Yes.

[Matthew]

No matter what the story is.

And a road project here in the North Metro starts in June. Officials are telling residents now to get ready. Plan for it. If you plan to use Highway 65, the Minnesota Department of Transportation plans to rebuild 65 from 97th Avenue to 125th Avenue. That's, trust me, a very busy stretch, especially at rush hour. The project will include four overpasses. Those will be new roundabouts and a new pedestrian bridge. MnDOT has studied the project for years. Work is now about to start. Kent Bernard with MnDOT says one major change is that stoplights will be completely removed in part of the corridor.

[Joe Sucere]

What?

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah, because of roundabouts.

[Joe Sucere]

And it was announced that federal money will be available if Trump's name is inscribed on the overpasses.

[Kenny Olson]

Wow. Okay, Good twist.

[Joe Sucere]

Good twist.

[Chris Reavers]

He's quick. He just doesn't make sense.

[Joe Sucere]

Right.

[Chris Reavers]

Joe's game with this is the Will Sasso bit with Jesse. Why don't you tell me?

ProfessionalTurf.com John, did you hear John, did you hear what Trump said about the marriage of one of his hard working sons is going to get married? I did see to some socialite overseas someplace.

[John Height]

Yeah.

[Joe Sucere]

And Donald was asked if he was going to attend. He said I should go. I've known the guy a long time.

[John Height]

Hey he says he might be busy though I might be busy but you know I've known him a long time

[Joe Sucere]

schedule but I've known the guy a long time. I would hope so.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[John Height]

I have a correction before I get to more news.

[Joe Sucere]

Yes.

[John Height]

In in show correction that I got a note on.

[Joe Sucere]

Yeah. Yep.

[John Height]

Do we know Katie? You got that letter from Katie Tierney.

[Joe Sucere]

Tierney.

[Chris Reavers]

Yeah.

[John Height]

Is her husband Tom Tierney?

[Joe Sucere]

Well, her husband's name is Tom.

[John Height]

Well anyway Tom sent me a note because Mike Daly she talked about the pedal steel player.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah.

[John Height]

And I said he's with George Strait's band.

[Chris Reavers]

Yeah.

[John Height]

Well there's two Mike Dalies who play pedal steel in Nashville.

[Joe Sucere]

Oh boy.

[John Height]

This is not the one we're talking about the one in George Strait Band. Tom says the cousin because it's his cousin, Mike Daly.

[Joe Sucere]

Yeah.

[John Height]

He plays in Hank Williams Jr's band, I'll Be Damned. And his name is D, or his name is spelled D A, L, Y. The other Mike Daly is D A

[Joe Sucere]

I, L, Y. I see.

[John Height]

He's in the Ace in the Hole Band, which, as country fans know is George Straight's band.

[Joe Sucere]

I'll be.

[John Height]

So.

[Josh Arnold]

Who. Who.

[John Height]

I mean, how could there be two guys with the same name who are pedal steel?

[Joe Sucere]

Isn't that the odds are against it, aren't they?

[Kenny Olson]

Well, I will also add another note along those lines with the Tierney. Katie and Tom Tierney are not the St. Paul Tierneys that are related to the Mauers. Joe's mom is a Tierney and they're from St. Mark's and St. Paul, but they are not from the same family. I just want to point out, you

[Joe Sucere]

know that for a fact.

[Kenny Olson]

I do, because I asked when I met them in person.

[Pat]

I see.

[Kenny Olson]

Yes.

[Pat]

Wow.

[Matthew]

How does any of this news affect President Trump?

[Kenny Olson]

Please twist it.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[John Height]

I don't know. Is this news, though?

[Joe Sucere]

He is. He would like everyone to know that he too, is a renowned steel guitar player. Recorded. He's on. He's recorded many, many albums. He doesn't get any. I don't get any credit for it, but I've been on many albums.

[Kenny Olson]

He's a tremendous guitar player.

[Joe Sucere]

I'm a tremendous steel guitar player.

[Matthew]

Marvelous.

[Joe Sucere]

Yes.

[Chris Reavers]

Matthew, you know, I. I love you to death. I've worked with for almost 20 years now.

[Kenny Olson]

How about that?

[Joe Sucere]

Yeah.

[Chris Reavers]

How in God's name do you know the maiden name of Joe Ma's mom?

[Joe Sucere]

Because she. All our kids work for her and all that stuff.

[Kenny Olson]

She was up at St. Pat's and I worked with her. Her dad, Mike Tierney.

[Pat]

All right, fair enough.

[John Height]

It's a neighborhood thing.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah, it is.

[Joe Sucere]

It is.

[Pat]

Okay. All right.

[Kenny Olson]

There's something in the water at St. Mark's though.

[Chris Reavers]

I apologize if you were offended.

[Kenny Olson]

Not offended. Too stupid to be offended.

[John Height]

In more news, truth, the long awaited post election autopsy has been released by the Democratic National Committee. The two parties, you know, they always get together and they. They don't get together. I mean, they. Separately, they autopsied the election before to see what went right and wrong for him. Well, according to the Democratic National Committee autopsy on the 2024 presidential campaign, Kamala Harris, quote, wrote off rural America during the campaign and failed to attack Donald Trump with what they called sufficient negative firepower. But the document's key findings, the focus of much mystery over the last year, were almost an afterthought among Democratic officials who express deep frustration with DNC Chair Ken Martin's handling of the situation. Ken, of course, became the national chairman after being the head of the Democratic Party here in Minnesota. Martin shared the 192 page report only after facing intense internal pressure from Democratic operatives. He originally promised to release the autopsy even before taking over the committee last year, only to keep it under wraps because he worried it would interfere with Democrats. Focus on the November midterms Democratic strategist Dan Pfeiffer, formerly a senior adviser to President Barack Obama, said at this point, Martin must go Some Republican pushback to President Trump's $1,776,000,000 so called anti weaponization fund Senator Thom Tillis unloaded on President Trump's fund Thursday, calling on his colleagues to speak up against the policy, which he said is beyond the pale. It's drawn a swath of Republican criticism since it was announced this week. The fund, set up as part of a settlement of Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche sat down with lawmakers on Thursday to discuss the fund in a meeting that apparently, according to sources at the meeting, did not go well. The opposition to the fund was led by Senate Majority Leader John Thuner, Republican from South Dakota. He sent his colleagues home on recess without a vote on a reconciliation bill that would have funded tens of billion dollars of Trump's immigration enforcement policies after the meeting. Attilus, a frequent critic of the president, has been one of the fund's most vocal critics. When asked if his fellow lawmakers shared his concerns, he said they did, telling reporters the policy is not good for his colleagues, especially in the lead up to midterms. At least six other Republican lawmakers have spoken out against the fund and its possible payment toward those who assaulted police on January 6. The possibility that no one within the administration will rule out among those saying they are not in favor of the payout Mitch McConnell, Katie Britt and a usual rubber stamp for President Trump's policies, Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin.

[Joe Sucere]

Well, they're stupid people and they'll be gone soon. They're stupid NASCAR icon.

[John Height]

Can I say icon? Is that okay?

[Joe Sucere]

Nope, that's fog hornable but he was but the name has been the the word gets foghornable because it's been overused.

Kyle Busch, a two time Cup Series champion who won more races across the Sports 3 National Series than any other driver in history, died at the age of 41 yesterday. The Busch family, Richard Childress Racing and NASCAR issued a joint statement saying that Bush died after being hospital earlier in the day as a result of only what's called a severe illness Three days before he was going to compete at the Coca Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. No cause of death was given. Bush was testing in the Chevrolet Racing simulator in Concord, North Carolina on Wednesday when he became unresponsive and was transported to a hospital in Charlotte. Bush, the younger brother of NASCAR hall of Famer Kurt Busch, is survived by his wife, Samantha, and their children, Brexton and Lennox. The news comes 11 days after Kyle Busch radioed into his crew near the end of a Cup Series race at Watkins Glen, asking a doctor to give him a shot after he finished the race. According to the television broadcast, Bush had been struggling with a sinus cold. Well, that was exacerbated by intense G forces and elevation changes at the New York road.

[Joe Sucere]

Kenny, who in baseball would. Would die. That was. Would would be the same shock as Kyle Busch dying in nascar.

[Matthew]

I know enough baseball to answer that. I'm sorry.

[Chris Reavers]

He's a. I mean, he's a huge.

[Kenny Olson]

I was going to say he's a.

[Joe Sucere]

He hasn't he won more races than anybody in history?

[Matthew]

No.

[Joe Sucere]

Oh no.

[Matthew]

But. But he has won a lot of races and he's always been kind of a controversial figure throughout his career. You know, love him or hate him kind of guy.

[Chris Reavers]

41, though.

[Pat]

Wow.

[Matthew]

Well known for telling the truth, whether you want to hear it or not.

[Joe Sucere]

I like those kind of guys.

[Matthew]

Yeah, yeah, he was, he was fun. He would stir the pot and always kept it interesting. Yep.

[John Height]

Tough story from New York this week. It ends in, unfortunately, death. But it's such an odd story. A 56 year old woman died after falling into an open manhole when she stepped out of her car in midtown Manhattan. The victim was Danica Gokosh of Briar Lake Manor in Westchester county. She parked her SUV at the corner of East 52nd street and 5th Avenue late Monday. When she got out, she immediately plunged 10ft into an uncovered utility hole in front of the Cartier mansion. Con Edison said in a statement that it had reviewed surveillance footage that suggested the manhole had been dislodged when a multi axle truck drove over while turning onto the East 52nd Street 12 minutes later. According to the video, Ms. Kokotch parked her car nearby. City officials said Con Ad had an open work permit on the block when she fell into the hole, although no work was being done at the time. Jeremy Edwards, a spokesman for City hall, said the city was working with utility company to investigate Carlton Wood was walking down East 52nd street on his way to work at a nearby hotel when he saw everything happen. He said she just took a couple of steps and vanished. It happened so quickly. Mr. Wood, the fire safety director at the Lot New York Police Palace Hotel I'm sorry, Palace Hotel said he rushed over when he heard her screaming. It wasn't until he approached that he saw the unmarked hole with the lid. He looked out and saw her sitting in a puddle of water with her legs stretched out in front of her. They tried to get to her. One man even had a ladder, but they couldn't get the ladder down the hole. Eventually, emergency personnel came and got her out of there, but she was unconscious and unresponsive. The scene turned somber as emergency medical workers performed chest compressions and wheeled her by ambulance to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

[Matthew]

That's sad. Joe, I can answer your question partially. Kyle is the number nine of all time. NASCAR series winners was 63 victories Richard Petty number one with 200

[John Height]

problem in Osceola County, Florida wild hogs been spotted tearing up grass and frightening pets, and residents say nearby construction is pushing the animals closer to homes. Neighbors at Del Webb Sunbridge, a 55 plus community off Narcoossee Road, have captured multiple videos and photos of the wild pig as sightings become increasingly common throughout the neighborhood. One resident who spoke to News 6 about their concerns believes construction is displacing the animals. They said, I understand behind this pond is another road that will be connecting to another new phase. Dug up patches of dirt are scattered across the community. Residents say the hogs have even been spotted just roaming between the homes. An email from the HOA says we've expanded the plan for additional fence fencing along more sections of the reserves, but some folks feel that's not really enough. We can't wait until something happens to make choices about what we do. The resident New6 spoke with said they are not looking for a fight with the HOA or builders, but they're calling for immediate action before this situation gets worse.

[Matthew]

I've been watching a lot of videos lately about wolves, coyotes and hawks and they can trace genetics with hogs. And as it turns out, a lot of folks are live trapping hogs in Texas and Florida, then hauling them to their state, letting them loose so they can breed and then these guys can hunt them. Evidently at one point they had wiped out all the wild hogs in Washington state and they all had. They all had genetics that said they were from Texas. Texas not even a year later there were more wild hogs with all the same Texas genetics that somebody had gone down there wild trapped or live trapped

[Joe Sucere]

them, brought them back.

[Kenny Olson]

Why do we hunt wild hogs?

[Joe Sucere]

All my exes are in Texas and

[Matthew]

the, a lot of these outfitter companies say they're, they're doing the Lord's work by shooting hogs. But their whole, the dependency of their business, business, it all depends on wild hogs. So they keep, they keep, they keep them healthy and the herd healthy and they breed and whatnot. They keep propagating these wild hogs so their business will continue to flourish. It's really interesting.

[Joe Sucere]

It makes me happy that all we've

[Kenny Olson]

got is turkeys, turkeys and geese.

[Joe Sucere]

I would rather have turkeys and wild hogs.

[Matthew]

Could you call the DNR and tell them that please? Because they seem to think they're rare and in this state there's two of

[Chris Reavers]

them that are stuck in the back lot. I'm not joking, I'm not making this up. They just showed up like two days ago.

[Joe Sucere]

They're not bright.

[Chris Reavers]

And this one poor bastard, cuz the gate closes, he's like well where the

[Joe Sucere]

hell am I supposed to go, Chris?

[Matthew]

They fly.

[Chris Reavers]

No, I, I'm, I'm aware but this guy's been back, I'm not kidding, Kenny. He's been back there for two days.

[Matthew]

It's safe.

[Joe Sucere]

Well, this one can't fly.

[Matthew]

Predators, predators can't get them. It's safe. But they, they roost in trees overnight.

[Chris Reavers]

Gotcha.

[Pat]

Gotcha.

[Matthew]

Yeah.

[Kenny Olson]

How do they get up there?

[Joe Sucere]

If my Montreal Habs make it to the finals and play Vegas, will Maurice roll over in his grave playing a Stanley cup game in Las Vegas, Nevada?

[Pat]

He might roll over in his grave on seeing a Canadiens team that's got about two Frenchmen on it. And they aren't that good. But last night, that goalie was what? He gave up four the first quarter on first period. Right. Unbelievable. And they, they, they won it. And that then the Carolina people were all excited and acted like they're coming back, and then boom, right away they scored. So, yeah, I watched a little of it. It's unbelievable, but. Right? Yeah. Maurice would not believe it. That's.

[Joe Sucere]

Geez Louise.

[Pat]

Maurice might have been enough of a party guy to sneak out to Vegas in the early 1950s when they were.

[Joe Sucere]

Absolutely not.

[Pat]

He was a well respected family man.

[Joe Sucere]

Yes, he was. Stayed home, went fishing. Yeah.

[Chris Reavers]

Did you guys happen to hear the game seven winning call against Buffalo? I meant to play this on Monday

[Joe Sucere]

for Monday night sports talk. And then they pan.

[Chris Reavers]

Is it the Bell Center? Is that where they play?

[Joe Sucere]

No, this was in Buffalo.

[Chris Reavers]

No, but they panned to the.

[Joe Sucere]

Oh, yeah.

[Chris Reavers]

And the place was packed yeah, it was sold out. The Bell Center, Montreal. The game was in Buffalo. It was awesome.

[Joe Sucere]

Pat, I wonder if it's in their contract that they have to have French radio and English radio.

[Pat]

I was wondering too if they. On tv, they must have one beach.

[Joe Sucere]

Yeah.

[Chris Reavers]

Because this was a, this was a TV call. It was the video feed from tv.

[Joe Sucere]

Yeah.

[Pat]

Yeah. So they have to, those guys have to be sitting on other sides of the press box so they aren't screaming yet at each other, I would think.

[Kenny Olson]

Well, I, as a, as a four year French student, I can translate. He goes over to the red line and to the blue line, a lot of traffic in the corner and he's

[Joe Sucere]

to going, yeah, he wanted a guy.

[Chris Reavers]

Yes.

[Joe Sucere]

Pat, what's new in the world of sports? Our twins are in Boston.

[Pat]

Yes. And they're all mad at the Red Sox. They don't like the Red Sox team and you know, they already fired Alex Cora and you know, so it's probably not a jam packed Fenway that they're going to. The fans are a little disgusted, I guess. But yeah, they're. They had to send Tristan Gray to heat back to Houston. His wife's having a baby. And then. So they got one of the phenoms, Gonzales, the 5 foot 11 outfielder was supposed to be able to hit, is called up. So maybe we'll get to see him this weekend.

[Joe Sucere]

That's when baseball took a turn, when they started letting the guys go home for the birth. That's just.

[Pat]

Yeah. Instead of just know, getting a phone

[Joe Sucere]

call and say, hey, congratulations, FaceTime. That's right. How about a zoom call?

[Pat]

Hey, Skipper, can I go ahead and call? Yeah. When I'm not batting this any, can I make a call and see if she had the baby yet or not? You know, that's. Yeah, it is. It's a little different. What do you think if you were, if you were a Frenchman playing for the cup in Montreal, would you tell them you had to take a day off?

[Joe Sucere]

Absolutely not. Hell no.

[Pat]

No, no, they wouldn't. They wouldn't even think.

[Chris Reavers]

Did you see Rice hit a bomb in his first at bat for St Paul yesterday?

[Pat]

First pitch. He's found his level, I guess.

[Joe Sucere]

Yeah, he can hit that minor league stuff.

[Pat]

You know what I was reading, there's a new theory that the, that the pitching is aaa is so much below the pitching in the big leagues that it doesn't do you any good this, that to send them down there. And the other thing is all these guys they have in Triple A, the starters, they play us they play six games, you know, Tuesday through Sunday every time. So it's like a six man rotation. So they, if they go to a five man rotation and then guy that pitches Sunday gets like two extra days off before his next start. It's all messed up. They don't. They're not very confident in the way they're developing pitchers in Triple A. What was.

[Joe Sucere]

Did Royce have untoward remarks when he was sent down? It was some illusion of that in the paper. And I never did see the story.

[Pat]

Well, no, I think beforehand he had said that he didn't know if these, if they were supporting him. And then he had some quote about how he'd been talking to Boris to get him some help. You know, his agents got. Boris was gonna get him some help. He was a. He doesn't seem happy. But then again, you're hitting.130. Yeah, they're not happy with you. So that's the way that goes. I, I don't know. I don't. I think he's a sensitive chap. That's what I think. Joe.

[Joe Sucere]

Joe is my name.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Pat]

Yeah. Yeah. I was, I got up at 6am today. I woke up at 6am I had to write a column. I would. That was too early for me. I'm kind of getting rocky today, so.

[Joe Sucere]

Well, he got deadline problems with the modern newspaper.

[Pat]

Yeah, no kidding. I, I was, I, I was just talking to him to today to see if everything was fine and they said, oh, yeah, we got a four page section for tomorrow. We're already wrapped up. You know, as far as print's concerned. You know, four pages on a sad Friday, Saturday morning. Unbelievable.

[Joe Sucere]

Times have changed.

[Chris Reavers]

I have. I know you guys are interested in the, in the conference finals for basketball and just for you, Patrick, I'm not. I do have a preview for tonight's tilt between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs.

[Kenny Olson]

Greg Palmiston.

[Joe Sucere]

Everything that the fans are great down there, right? It just big. It's just big.

[Chris Reavers]

I got two words for him. I'm full. That's Barkley talking about the big old girls from San Antonio.

[Pat]

He doesn't do that anymore.

[Chris Reavers]

No, he was told not to do that anymore.

[Pat]

He was an older.

[Joe Sucere]

What were the two words? Plump. Full.

[Chris Reavers]

No, I'm full meaning stop eating. Oh.

[Kenny Olson]

Oh, he said plump.

[Pat]

Full. Every time he brought him up. Every time he brought him up. Ernie, go down.

[Chris Reavers]

The best is they're doing a game in Houston. The Rockets are playing God knows who. They're not even playing the Spurs. And you know that Gymnastics halftime thing where the guy flips the girl with his feet and he goes, they couldn't do that BLEEP in San Antonio, them big old girls. Shaq's like, we're not even covering the spurs or not Shaq. But Kenny Smith said that.

[Pat]

I wonder if they. San Antonio people would take. Would think that was funny.

[Kenny Olson]

If Charles says it, you have to think. Think it's funny.

[Pat]

Oh, God.

[Joe Sucere]

Yeah.

[Chris Reavers]

He starts mimic him eating churros.

[Joe Sucere]

In other words, he knows exactly what he's doing.

[Chris Reavers]

Oh, God, it was so funny. Every single time.

[Pat]

Yeah. I'll never forget that. You were in Houston and after the All Star game, he got married on Thursday and. And he said he's the Phil Jasner from the Philadelphia paper. Says that our new wife that I just saw. And he said. Yeah. He says she was supposed to leave at halftime. I wasn't even going to the gentleman's club tonight. But he didn't exactly call it. The gentleman. No, he did not work. That's what we're calling here. But yeah, you know, he. The honeymoon had gone on long enough. He wanted to go to the club and it was Pat.

[Joe Sucere]

What do you think of this Kyle Busch story?

[Pat]

Have we figured what. What it.

[Joe Sucere]

Just seriously ill. That's all we know so far.

[Pat]

And suddenly. Right. But they haven't told us. What the hell is it? Is it the new Ebola that we're getting from.

[Joe Sucere]

He had been. He had been. He had had a sinus infection. That's the only thing I read.

[Pat]

Wow.

[Joe Sucere]

He was found unresponsive in a race simulator on Wednesday. And the next thing you know, he's dead.

[Pat]

Yeah. 41. Wow. It was. I don't. Kenny. Miami people. One of the two Bush guys is pretty goofy, but I think it's the older one. Kurt.

[Joe Sucere]

Kurt.

[Pat]

Kurt. They're six years apart. Kurt's six years older, but Kurt was the one that was always getting in trouble, right?

[Matthew]

Yeah.

[Pat]

And he doesn't run anymore, banging into people and stuff like this. But yeah, that's. That's a. I. I want him to tell me what it was.

[Joe Sucere]

I think we all do.

[Pat]

So you can look out for it. Yeah, it was. Man alive. I mean. Yeah. I. I couldn't believe it. I. He. Kenny, how was he doing? He hadn't. He hadn't won in a while, right?

[Joe Sucere]

Yeah.

[Matthew]

His career has been slowly winding down, but he's still running. And I think he just ran a truck race too. He did race last weekend, but didn't do very well.

[Pat]

He was guys, though, that couldn't get enough of it. Right. He drove the trucks and he drove.

[Matthew]

Not only that, he'd go out with his kid and his kid runs, go karts. And I think they were moving into sprint cars too, so. Yeah, he was heavily involved.

[Josh Arnold]

He.

[Matthew]

Yeah, yeah, he just like. He was a wheelman, you know, Loved

[Pat]

running like Tony Stewart was when he was in shape back in the day, he'd race any place he could race during the. Between bush races, so.

[Joe Sucere]

Hey, Pat, you going to the lake for Memorial Day?

[Pat]

No, but I'm trying to decide whether to turn the heater off on the pool or not. Five degrees. It's to keep it, Keep it warm for the neighbor kids. Is going to be kind of tough here. When does it get warm?

[Joe Sucere]

Sunday and Monday will be in the 80s.

[Pat]

Well, geez, I don't like this, Pat.

[Kenny Olson]

What kind of angst do you have in your body when you see that. That steam slowly rising above the water?

[Pat]

It's not there now, but when you get up in the morning, you know, and you look out there and you think you're in. You think you're in the Pacific coast, it's just. And it's just rising up. It is. It does get into my nerves, That's. That's for sure. Yes.

[Joe Sucere]

What's that called in San Diego? The sea. What's it called?

[Chris Reavers]

Ocean.

[Joe Sucere]

No, in the morning. The fog. What's that called? A layer. Marine layer.

[Chris Reavers]

Marine layer.

[Joe Sucere]

You get a marine layer.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Joe Sucere]

Well, I won't talk to you Monday.

[Pat]

I gotta tell you, the, the. The Lieutenant Colonel's in town.

[Joe Sucere]

All right.

[Pat]

Colonel here. And he's staying in the house?

[Joe Sucere]

Yep.

[Pat]

And we had. We had a little trouble with our front door. Door. Not the front door, the garage door. Kind of the thing that looks. The goofy SOB was at Home Depot at 6, 10 this morning fixing this stuff. How this kid turned out to be somebody who could fix stuff when he's my kid, I. I don't think he's my kid. I think somebody else sneaked in there. I don't know what was going on.

[Matthew]

Patrick, he's a normal male.

[Pat]

Male.

[Matthew]

It's you. You're the weirdo here. He turned out like all the rest of the males on the planet.

[Joe Sucere]

Pat, did he fix it?

[Pat]

Oh, God, yes. It was hell. By the time anybody got up today, it was already. Already fixed. Then something else. He's fixing some other damn thing. I don't know what it is.

[Kenny Olson]

How about turning on the water? Has he got that down yet or are we.

[Chris Reavers]

Okay, the levers.

[Pat]

I'll tell you what, rook. After last two years ago when I ran her for 10 and cost me 350 bucks, plus we had to redo the pool, I pay real close attention to that thing. When I put the water on, I like set the alarm and only let it run for about 15 minutes because that was the greatest day of my life. My neighbor calls up at. I left for the ballpark at 2:15. My neighbor calls up at 10 in the morning and says, how come my backyard's full of water? How many, how many hours is that?

[Joe Sucere]

That's a long time, Pat.

[Pat]

Long time. It was. It was, yeah. Pool. I don't recommend pool ownership. Luckily, nobody in this crew outside of me has to worry about that.

[Joe Sucere]

Anyway, I'll talk to you later, okay? I'm done with this.

[Chris Reavers]

Matthew is not done with us yet.

[Kenny Olson]

Are you sure you're done? I want to remind you garage logicians about Walker Roofing. It's an option for you. A lot of times you're not thinking about your roof. But when a storm comes through and something happens, you need people to call 24. 7 emergency service, Walker Roofing. Their telephone number. I'll give that to you very shortly. But I want to remind you they've been around the Twin Cities for quite some time. And again, that 24. 7 emergency service. I hope you don't have to use it. Whether it's residential, whether it's commercial, whatever the case may be for roofing, for siding, go with that family run operation. 50 years as a Better Business Bureau member and they've been credited by the bbb. So in case, you know, you're wondering about, or maybe it's somewhere down the block. Hey, I got a really bad roof. I got some bad siding, I got some problems. Remind them walkerroofing.com 651-251-0910 they've been around since 1938. So do you think they know Minnesota seasons, Minnesota roofs, Minnesota Sidings for their home? Yes, of course they do. With that better Business Bureau AAA rating. It's walkerroofing.com or 651-251-0910 let them know that you heard it on the garage lobby podcast.

[Joe Sucere]

Finally, thank God. Today is Friday.

[Kenny Olson]

Tgti Friday.

[Joe Sucere]

It's the scramble.

[Matthew]

It is.

[Chris Reavers]

And I need to ask a question before I read this epic Harmony Spirits ad.

[Matthew]

Rookie.

[Chris Reavers]

What comes before Part B Party Harmony Spirits located in Harmony, Minnesota. This is a wonderful time to head down to that tasting room. In fact, I might, I might be venturing down this weekend. To go check out my friends at Harmony Spirits. That tasting room is fantastic. And it's going to.

[Kenny Olson]

Don't forget about America's guest. Should I.

[Chris Reavers]

You want to come along?

[Kenny Olson]

You can handle it for me.

[Chris Reavers]

I'll pick up a four pack for you. All right, I can do that as well. But go down to the tasting room. They have that wonderful rotating menu of craft cocktails. And grab yourself a four pack. These are pre made cocktails that you can buy and bring with you whether you're going camping down in that area, family road trip, whatever. However, the BlackBerry lemonade is phenomenal. And it doesn't matter what you're in the mood for. The bourbon, the whiskey, the gin, the rum, the vodka, it's all there for you. Go into your local liquor store, ask for the Harmony brand by name. That's how they are going to continue to expand. And I got to tell you right now, in a couple of weeks, we have major breaking news with Harmony Spirits. For all of you glers that aren't able to make it here that might want to purchase and support our friends at Harmony Spirits. News on that coming up shortly. But say hi to Larry and Damon and the entire crew and let them know you heard about them on the Garage Logic podcast. Joe.

[Joe Sucere]

And may I tell you, courtesy of Installed Building Solutions, that Richard Botch is the gler of the week. He's from Litchfield, Minnesota. Richard has been a town council member since January of 2023. And he gets the maple symptom from Masters Maples.

[Chris Reavers]

Fantastic.

[Joe Sucere]

Good luck to Richard Botch of Litchfield, Richard from Litchfield.

[Chris Reavers]

And if you would like to become the gler of the week, all you have to do is upgrade to an annual town council membership. And by the way, when you do, you're gonna get a $10 Fratelloni's hardware and garden stores gift certificate.

[Joe Sucere]

I found a home I want to buy.

[Kenny Olson]

Let's go. I can't believe you're moving.

[Joe Sucere]

It's on Long Island. On. Unfortunately, that's New York. It's in Mattituck, Long island.

[Pat]

Okay.

[Joe Sucere]

It's 3.5 million.

[Kenny Olson]

Oh, you got that.

[Joe Sucere]

But. Yeah, but what makes it. Write a check. But what makes it worthwhile is it comes with 41 classic cars and motorcycles.

[Chris Reavers]

Wow.

[Joe Sucere]

The garage. Here, I'll hold this up.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Joe Sucere]

Look at this. You see that? Yeah.

[Matthew]

See that Perfectly.

[Joe Sucere]

I wonder if that's an install.

[Kenny Olson]

Colorful.

[Joe Sucere]

Is that an installed Building Solutions garage floor? I wonder.

[Matthew]

What are some of those vehicles?

[Joe Sucere]

Well, I'm seeing a gto. I'm seeing Corvettes. I see an mga. I see Buick Rivieras. I see a Corvair Monza. Oh, boy, I see an mgtd. Oh, my word, what an operation. Oh, and the garage has its own lift. Lift has a workshop in it. And hell with a house. I just want to live in that garage. One, two, three. I'm seeing five garage doors.

[Matthew]

You mean a hoist?

[Joe Sucere]

Yeah.

[Matthew]

Oh, cool.

[Joe Sucere]

Well, no lift. I mean, you drive the car on it and up she goes. Yeah, right.

[Kenny Olson]

An MG td. Sounds like a sickness you get if you like cars too much.

[Joe Sucere]

No, that's not a sickness, Matt. That's a post war mg. But isn't that nifty? Boy, I wonder why the guy's selling all the cars. But. But unfortunately that's New York. That'd be like moving to Minnesota.

[Kenny Olson]

Probably tax evasion, some kind of scam.

[Joe Sucere]

That'd be like moving here. You wouldn't do that. Although you would trade here for 42 cars. Only because they come.

[Matthew]

Hold on, breaks.

[Joe Sucere]

Wait, I want to hear about Crabby.

[Matthew]

No, I want to hear from John first.

[Joe Sucere]

Oh, yeah, I have a. Oh, I'm sorry. John, you have breaking news.

[John Height]

Late breaking news this afternoon. Tulsi Gabbard is resigning from her post as Director of National Intelligence. She says she has to retire to support her husband because he has what she's calling an extremely rare form of bone cancer and wants to be with horrible. She is retiring effective June 30th. Or not retiring.

[Joe Sucere]

Well, she had also seen the light about Trump to some extent, hadn't she? I don't.

[Matthew]

Anyone.

[Joe Sucere]

I. I don't know. I thought she did.

[Chris Reavers]

I thought you were doing the bit. Kenny requested.

[Matthew]

Former Minneapolis Police Lt. Robert J. Croft, who does not do interviews at all for anybody, was on Crabby Coffee Shop this week and it was quite the interview. It was a long, you know, and it really wasn't an interview. It was just three guys sitting around shooting the shit. And boy, Bob has some interesting stories and I got all the important stuff out of the way right away. Joe Motorcycles. Oh, he's been riding since 83. So we talked to motorcycles cycles. He revealed some stuff about his wife, you know, who he married, Joe, Liz Collins. Turns out that Liz is a geek, a nerd, so much so that when she was in high school, she had the keys for the school. That's how trusted she was really among the staff. Yeah.

[Joe Sucere]

Does she ride with Bob?

[Matthew]

Bob says that she says she does, but she really does. According to Bob. According to Bob. Bob for her, it's all about the outfits.

[Pat]

Yeah, right. Yeah.

[Kenny Olson]

She's never been on the back of

[Joe Sucere]

a bike at all.

[Matthew]

So it was. It was a lot of fun. The interview was a lot of fun. And Bob doesn't talk to anybody, but he talked to us. So I just wanted to let everybody know.

[Joe Sucere]

Wonderful. Only because they come to us from the traveling lineman's at home in Eden Prairie. It was on this day, Joe.

[Chris Reavers]

Today is Friday, May 22nd.

[Joe Sucere]

Well, on this day in 1888, Minneapolis architect Leroy S. Buffett Huffington, the father of the sky skyscraper, patented a construction method involving a steel skeleton that allows structures to be built to any height. On this day, May 22, in 1945, the Rice County Historical Society acquired the Alexander Faribault House.

[Chris Reavers]

Yes.

[Joe Sucere]

Which it maintains as a historic site in Faribault. Am I pronouncing that right? Faribault Farib. The house was the first built in Rice county at the confluence of the Cannon and Straight rivers. Are you familiar with it?

[Chris Reavers]

I know exactly where it is.

[Pat]

I know the Cannon river.

[Joe Sucere]

On this day, May 22, in 1988, more than a thousand people participated in the Twin Cities first AIDS pledge Walk and departed for Minnehaha park and marched along the Mississippi river. And they raised more than $100,000. On this day, May 22, in 2002, Governor Jesse Ventura signed a bill to finance a new baseball stadium for the Twins. The Twins, of course, had previously shared the dump with the Minnesota Vikings and the University of Minnesota Gophers. The new ballpark opened in 2010.

[Chris Reavers]

I didn't know Jesse got the ball rolling in that.

[Joe Sucere]

Why did they ask me? I don't know. On this day, May 22, in 2011, a tornado hit north Minneapolis, killing one in Indiana. The storm caused an estimated $80 million worth of damage. On this day in sports disappointment history.

[Chris Reavers]

Joe, who'd we lose to on May 22?

[Joe Sucere]

Well, George Mikan announced ABA headquarters will move to New York. Maybe they were here, huh? On this day, I guess they would be.

[Chris Reavers]

Otherwise that wouldn't have been a story.

[Pat]

Sure.

[Joe Sucere]

On this day, May 22nd, in 2009, David Kahn was hired as the GM of the wolves. That didn't work out, did it?

[Chris Reavers]

And then Royce and Mackey got him fined.

[Joe Sucere]

Right. On this day, May 22, in 2005, we're a little out of order there, aren't we? Twins pitcher Terry Mulholland scratch his eye with a pillow feather in a hotel. I don't know why that made this

[Kenny Olson]

little charming pillow fight.

[Chris Reavers]

I think because he missed a start due to that injury. I think that that's why.

[Joe Sucere]

Gee Ellers. Have a wonderful Memorial Day.

[Chris Reavers]

Oh, that was a different picture.

[Kenny Olson]

Oh, that was a different picture.

[Chris Reavers]

Okay.

[Joe Sucere]

Have a wonderful Memorial Day.

[Chris Reavers]

Stay safe. Hey, look out and stay sky aware.

[Joe Sucere]

Wear those big orange collar life jackets

[Kenny Olson]

and have a nice big backyard bonfire.

[Joe Sucere]

Very rude to do so in an urban environment.

[Kenny Olson]

I knew I just walks right in.

[Chris Reavers]

What if you have the solo stove there?

[Joe Sucere]

They can work. They work. You got.

[Matthew]

You can get it.

[Pat]

You can get them.

[Josh Arnold]

No.

[Chris Reavers]

You know what else you can get is a subs. What? Not a subscription. You can subscribe to the Garage Logic YouTube channel where you can join the almost 21, 000 subscribers where you can watch the show every single day starting at noon. And you can see full segments, video shorts, behind the scenes footage all there on the ground. Garage Logic YouTube channel.

[Joe Sucere]

Lisa Davis.

[Kenny Olson]

Yep.

[Joe Sucere]

Okay, see you.

[Chris Reavers]

It is time once again that we check in with our guy, Mr. Money Talk. Josh Arnold is with us once again right here in Garage Logic. And now is the time for you to do the same. So do not delay. Do exactly what Ida didn't. Pick up that phone and dial 952-925-5608. That number once again is 952-925-5608. When you call that number, you're going to get Josh and he is there for you for that. Free. Yep, I use the word free. 48 minute financial consultation with absolutely zero obligation. And he will always give you the straight talk. He will never give you the sugar coated advice. And he is on the line with us once again right here in garagelogic. And boy, Josh, you know, Memorial Day weekend is upon us already, which is believe. And it's a little quiet on the market front. And Memorial Day, you always have a special message as well.

[Pat]

Yes, I do.

[Josh Arnold]

And I have said this now for decades since I've been doing money talks, starting with KSTP 1500, starting first on Sundays back in 1981, and then moving to Saturdays in the early 2000s. And now on Garagelogic, the garage logic podcast. It has been a wonderful, wonderful association with the Hubbards and with all of our listeners. Typically twice a year on Veterans Day and also on Memorial Day. I pause to remember my elementary and high school classmate William Billy Conley, who I knew from fourth grade until killed in action in Vietnam in March of 1970, just after his Billy. From the time I met him in fourth grade till he died as a Marine corporal, always wanted to be in the Marine. So he did fill his, I'll say his not so much to be killed in action, but he did pursue ambition to be a Marine. So we'll say he lived a Marine as he lived to be a Marine, was a Marine, and he was killed in action in Vietnam as a Marine. And he's remembered not only as a Marine, but I'll say as a good guy, a good teammate, and I'm sure a good son who did not get to experience life beyond age age 20. We do do remember him every year at this time and also pause to remember all of those who served and did give their lives in defense of our country, which I still believe is the most extraordinary place to be in this, in this world.

[Chris Reavers]

Well said, Josh.

[Josh Arnold]

Extraordinary. Now, Chris, there's a lot of extraordinary things that go on in the United States that go on in the formation of companies. And I think in times like Memorial Day, I think it's wise to remember how extraordinary, I'll say, the United States is and how much opportunity there exists in this country. There are those who want to run down the United States. There are those who do not think much of the United States. I am not one of those people. I'll say I am proud to be an American. I am proud of what we, as a country, we as we'll say as individuals can accomplish. And we have the opportunity to do all of that. I mean, it does not matter. They're talking about a long time ago when we'll say when an inventor came up with the idea of Coca Cola, we'll say in the late 1800s and we'll say Coca Cola became one of the more iconic brands in the world. And if, if you were a holder or have been a holder of Coca Cola on a long term basis, and I mean a long term basis, somebody like Warren Buffett, who has a 20% yield on the Coca Cola that he, he acquired in the late 1980s. Now he has gotten, of course, some appreciation in Coca Cola. Coke is one of the long term, very long term holdings of Coca Cola and it's considered, along with Apple, American Express and Moody's, the four strongest businesses in Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway portfolio. You say a 20% yield. Yield. I'm just looking at Coca Cola right now. It has a yield of 3%. Well, Coca Cola has a history of increasing that dividend. And given the fact that Buffett has held that stock, we'll say since the mid-1980s till today, and it probably started out still at about a 3% yield. But based on the price that he acquired the Coca Cola at and the increases in dividend payouts, that yield has, has grown over time. And I have always, I have always said if you're looking to invest, we'll say in corporate, in bonds where you're lending money to, let's say the U.S. government or municipality or a corporation and you're looking for, you know, safety from those, from those bonds. Because when you do invest in the bond, you will get your money back, provided of course, whether it's a company, the municipality or the US government is still in business. You put in $1,000, you'll get out $1,000 and the bond will pay you interest twice a year. Current yield on we'll say a 10 year U.S. treasury is 4.5%. Put in $1,000. Yes, you're going to get $45 a year from that bond at the end of 10 years. If you hold it that long, you'll get your $1,000 back. On the other hand, you can put your money in Coca Cola. The yield is much less. You put $1,000 into Coca Cola, you're going to get $30 at least. To start off at a 3% yield. Coca Cola does not have a guarantee that at the end of 10 years you'll get that thousand dollars back. However, if I look at the history of Coca Cola, a very iconic brand,

[Pat]

my,

[Josh Arnold]

my guess, my estimate is at the end of 10 years you're going to get back a lot more than the, than the thousand dollars you started with today. And the yield will still be 3% in the future, but your yield because of the increases in dividends that Coke pays will be a lot higher. To me, you're looking for a safe investment on a long term basis, not a lot of risk. I believe Coca Cola should be the ticket and of course an iconic brand over an iconic week weekend. Coke is it for you.

[Chris Reavers]

Excellent advice and wisdom as always, Mr. MoneyTalk. You heard him jailers. Now is the time for you to pick up the phone and make the call for that free 48 minute financial consultation again with zero obligation. And you do that just like I did by dialing 952-925-5608 where you always get straight talk and never sugar coated advice. Josh, once again and as always, thank you so much for the time and the chat. Enjoy the rest of your day, have a fantastic Memorial Day weekend and we'll talk to you again next week.

[Josh Arnold]

Talk to you on Tuesday.

[Chris Reavers]

You got it Josh.
