[Joe]

No.

[Josh Arnold]

Josh Arnold, we're rolling.

[John Randall]

I take it.

[Joe]

All right, Joe. Well, don't worry about him. He ain't gonna.

[John]

He's.

[Joe]

He's.

[John]

He's being.

[John Randall]

Rookie. You ready?

[Josh Arnold]

Where's Kenny?

[Joe]

Good one.

[Josh Arnold]

Josh Arnold, investment consultant brings you Garage Logic podcast number.

[John Randall]

Oh.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, boy. 1760, 1716. And that's Friday, February 13th, 2026.

[Joe]

Sit down.

[Josh Arnold]

And the record high today was 51 degrees on this day in 1890 and 23 below on this day in 1905. Call Josh Arnold at 952-925-5608 for a free 48 minute consultation. What is this?

[Joe]

This is our generic one because we're live at the golf show.

[Josh Arnold]

Brah, where's the normal GL song?

[Joe]

That's when we're on YouTube.

[Josh Arnold]

We're not on YouTub.

[Joe]

Well, kind of.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, are we or aren't we? You know, gee, elders were live at the. Where is it?

[Joe]

We're at the Golf Show. The North American Banking Company, Minnesota Golf show.

[Josh Arnold]

You look at putters and it feels like you could play golf today. It was just wonderful out I wish there was someplace we could all play outside, but this will have to do. You can swing a club in here and get lessons and putt for a hundred grand. And I have an admission to make. It's a very unlike garage logic admission. I was brought here today in an electric car.

[John Randall]

Oh.

[Josh Arnold]

And I've never been in one. I've never had a ride in an electric car. And I have to admit, there really wasn't a lot to complain about. Okay, I don't want one because I need a motor to hear noise. But I can see where if you're, if your driving is limited strictly to urban America and you really don't have to take off and go to Chicago or whatever this thing is. Amazing.

[Joe]

Was it similar to your ride last year to the golf show where the show first stalled on the train tracks?

[Josh Arnold]

No, rookie drove last year and we did stall on the train tracks. Turns out he was playing a prank on me and I got very upset by that. I thought it was real and I thought, we're gonna just die right here.

[Gabe]

I will say that you did enjoy the, the up that the vehicle has.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, it's so fast.

[Gabe]

Gabe gave it some. What do you give it? You don't give it up. Gas.

[Josh Arnold]

You don't give it gas, do you? No, just give it your.

[Gabe]

But he hit it and we both went.

[Joe]

Since it's an easy.

[Josh Arnold]

There's no transmission transitions, would you give.

[Joe]

It juice since it's an ev?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, you can give it juice. It just, it's just there.

[Joe]

So I don't want one.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't want one.

[Gabe]

I did feel bad for Gabe because there was a list of, of questions. Oh, does it have a radio?

[Josh Arnold]

He didn't even know if it had a radio.

[Joe]

Well, he's a podcast listener.

[Gabe]

A 21 year old kid doesn't listen to the radio anymore, I guess.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know.

[Joe]

Aren't we living example.

[Josh Arnold]

How are you?

[Gabe]

Right?

[Josh Arnold]

Well, that's very interesting.

[Gabe]

And then there's no, no, hang on, hang on. Before you even do that, there's a feature, there's a feature in the, in the vehicle that tells you when it's green. So if of course, a 21 year old gets distracted while driving at a red light, you just start to do other things. And as the light turned green, beating the feature on the Tesla was Joe AI. Joe AI. Saying it's green, you can go green, you can go. So he was, he was ahead of the east faster than a Tesla computer.

[Joe]

Wait a minute. I, I, that's interesting. So cars now feature a device that signals you when the light is green.

[Josh Arnold]

That's probably the least of what this thing does.

[Joe]

Well, my, my point is we are now, like, we have the lane detection deal.

[Josh Arnold]

Probably got all that.

[Joe]

We're creating vehicles where you quite literally need to pay as little attention as possible.

[Josh Arnold]

There is no instrumentation whatsoever except a screen the size of a laptop screen. And everything that you're going to do or want to know is on that screen. There's no speedometer. There's no nothing. It's just that screen.

[Joe]

Got it.

[Gabe]

And Gabe did threaten to enact the feature where the car could drive itself.

[Josh Arnold]

I didn't want that.

[Gabe]

That was met with major resistance.

[Josh Arnold]

We're not doing that.

[Gabe]

The front seat partner, hands free.

[John Randall]

Yes.

[Gabe]

He said, nope, I want you to drive. There's no, no breaking.

[Josh Arnold]

There's little I can do to relate that to a golf show, except it would be the ultimate car to own. If you live near a golf course, you'd never bother anybody.

[Gabe]

Yeah, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

How many in the audience here play golf? Everybody.

[John Randall]

Oh, boy.

[Joe]

Almost everybody.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, everybody.

[John Randall]

Do you?

[Josh Arnold]

Well, how's your game? It's, it's, it's coming along. I, I, you know, you can only do so much in the winter. Swing on a piece of cardboard. Sure. You know, I did play earlier this winter, and it was, I, I was heartened with the results. But here you can swing and take lessons. Has anybody ever gone around and taken one of the free lessons from the pros staff? Anyone?

[John]

Oh.

[Gabe]

Be a first year for most of these folks, for the massive crowd that's gathered.

[Josh Arnold]

Who has been to this golf show previously? I have pretty much any. Everybody, huh? We've been coming to this show for a long time.

[Joe]

I remember the very first one we had.

[Josh Arnold]

American banking golf show.

[Joe]

We had the long putt here. I think it's elsewhere now, but we had the long putt sitting up here.

[Josh Arnold]

It was in that corner.

[Joe]

No, it was right the first year. It was right next to the stage, and people would come up and try to. And I think you started to bet people if they could make it or not.

[Josh Arnold]

And I would do that again.

[Gabe]

You were heckling. Yes, you were heckling.

[Josh Arnold]

Now it's been the second day since the notice was made of ice, essentially leaving. Is everybody still breathing a sigh of relief? Yeah, I think that's, I think regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum, it was a sigh of relief to have the, have the chaos over with.

[Gabe]

I'm very happy that they're gone. I'm not Worried. I think they got most of the bad guys.

[Josh Arnold]

Huh?

[Gabe]

Is that. Do we know when. Do we know if they got most of the bad guys and they don't have to return?

[Josh Arnold]

We can only. We can only know what we've been told, and I have no idea. But I did bring the. The official glass. What do you call that?

[Gabe]

Gavel.

[Josh Arnold]

Gavel.

[Gabe]

Will there be some proclamations, some mayoral proclamations?

[Josh Arnold]

Could be before the days.

[Gabe]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

John Randall is the ambassador for the golf show, isn't he?

[Joe]

Yes. Former Viking hall of Famer.

[Josh Arnold]

Hall of Famer. I believe he finished his career with Seattle.

[Joe]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Is that true?

[Joe]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

And how long ago would that have been? I will. I was also going to say that this is the greatest place in the world to get close gloves and stuff. You know, they got. They got them on deals here, and I get. I got gloves from last year that I haven't gotten out of the package yet.

[John Randall]

What.

[Joe]

What year was the Ryder cup in chaska? Was that 2016.

[Josh Arnold]

2016.

[Joe]

Okay. Because I remember because the merchandise they have here is spectacular. And I got one of the coolest hooded sweatshirts here. So that would have been the golf show of 2017 because they had a bunch of Hazeltine Ryder cup memorabilia that was left over, but it was a brand new. It was a brand new hoodie that I got for 20 bucks.

[John Randall]

Yeah.

[Joe]

That would have probably cost me 150 at Hazeltine during the Ryder Cup.

[Gabe]

So basically, you bought some more work attire because he tends to usually just wear hoodies.

[Josh Arnold]

I could never tell.

[Joe]

Right, right.

[Josh Arnold]

John, where's that booth you favor?

[John]

Legendary. It's that main aisle there.

[John Randall]

Yeah.

[John]

Walk down a couple stores. Yeah, a couple stores. And they have a big. They have a large display this time. They used to just have, like, a booth, like these folks.

[John Randall]

Yeah.

[John]

But now it's a pretty large display. Their sign is right up there.

[Josh Arnold]

Did you get anything yet?

[John]

I didn't yet. I looked at a couple I liked a lot, and the prices are great. This year, they're even better than last year.

[Gabe]

So they're very nice. The legendary material is very nice.

[John]

Very nice material. It's veterans owned and Run.

[Josh Arnold]

And are they Minnesota Company?

[John]

Yeah. Yes, they're from Minnesota. Yep.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, I gotta. I gotta go down there and give it a look. I thought you did it because you had bowling like shirts.

[John]

No, they're not. They're golf shirts. They're polos.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[John]

But they have odd designs. Although this year, there's more traditional.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[John]

Golf shirts than in the past.

[Josh Arnold]

All right, I'm gonna Go down there and look. It's called legendary.

[John]

Legendary. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Now, I don't have my North American Banking company shirt on. I couldn't find mine. It was left for me at the studio. Yeah, I don't know where it went. Oh, did somebody take it?

[Joe]

No, I don't. I don't think so.

[Gabe]

I think it's still there to the right. It's buried under John.

[Josh Arnold]

Did John get one?

[Gabe]

Yeah, yeah, I brought him. I brought him.

[John]

I got one right here. Right.

Wonderful.

[John Randall]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. John, serious question. What about your head?

[John Randall]

What about my head?

[Josh Arnold]

Well, did that suffer consequences from playing in the NFL for 14 years? Are you okay, in other words?

[John Randall]

I'm Good. I. I'm very fortunate that I work for the league office and I work in the department of the safety part of the game. About the helmet. So we basically give out a free evaluation from head to toe.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[John Randall]

I actually go to the Cleveland Clinic. Yeah. Every four years to do an evaluation. And we also offer it a evaluation at the Super Bowl. What? For your. Your head, your mental state. And I do it every two years. And so so far I've been okay.

[Josh Arnold]

How many concussions do you think you had?

[John Randall]

That would be a good question.

[Josh Arnold]

So in other words, you had. They were frequent.

[John Randall]

No, because I was a pass rusher.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[John Randall]

I wasn't about hitting the running backs. I was about hitting the quarterbacks. Okay. So for the offensive lineman coming at me, I did this thing you call a swim move.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[John Randall]

Getting out their way.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[John Randall]

I was all about knocking their hands down. Wasn't about head on collision.

[Josh Arnold]

Good for you.

[John Randall]

Thank you.

[Josh Arnold]

What are these helmets I see now that look like they're from Mars?

[John Randall]

Yeah. The halo.

[Josh Arnold]

What? If those are so good, why doesn't everybody wear them, I wonder?

[John Randall]

Well, that's a good question. First of all, now that's part of what I'm involved in. So every position has a different helmet. And so most of the time, our DBs and receivers are reluctant. Thank you. Our DBs and receivers are very reluctant to change their helmets. We actually had this conversation with Aaron Rodgers, and he was very reluctant too, to change his helmet. And one of the reasons that he was reluctant was because he said, I have so much history in that helmet.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[John Randall]

I've thrown this pass, completed these passes. I was mvp. So a lot of guys are reluctant to change their helmets. And so with that, we are always trying to get these guys to basically be. Get into the modern helmets because they're more safer and a lot of guys don't want to. So that's when they invented the halos to put over your helmets to protect the guys. And a lot of times we like to use the term protecting them from themselves.

[Josh Arnold]

Right. So what I'm seeing is something placed over a normal helmet.

[John Randall]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

And is. And is it proven to be.

[John Randall]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Worthy?

[John Randall]

It is. It truly is. Excuse me. One problem we had when we first came out with this project was most of the. The players didn't just want a white halo or a black halo, purple or blue one. They wanted the logo on the side.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[John Randall]

So that was one of the first thing we dealt with. We went to the owners. Owners were in agreeance that they wanted their logo on the on the Halo and so we've advanced it. We are. It's a lot of stuff we're doing. I can't disclose, but I can just tell you the, I guess I say the, the advancement basement or the man, the technology. That's the word, technology behind it. It's amazing. And well, you're.

[Joe]

Johnny, you're starting to see it now. My son played football and he had. There was a couple of games where kids were wearing those and it was more, I think of a. Don't foghorn this, Joe. But a proactive measure towards that. But you know what? If it's going to help, it's going to help.

[John Randall]

Yeah. I was out in Utah and they were having a tackle football for the 7, 8 year olds and man, every kid out there had a halo on. And what the NFL is understanding is that, you know, even though we are at the top of the game, high school, junior high and all that they, they watch what we're doing and they try to emulate it. And so why not have us look at that technology first and put it out there to help teach other kids that what we're doing is trying to protect us, protect them from themselves and get the youth to understand the same procedure.

[Gabe]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

How do you end up being a golf ambassador?

[John Randall]

Because here in Minnesota, I, when I first got involved with special needs kids, we were trying to raise some money for special needs kids, which was $21 million. And golf was a good avenue to start and we raised it in about a year. And I understood that golf is a great way to connect with people, to get people to endorse them, to help with charities from special needs to military advancement, where we do one out in pebble beach for the Navy Seals Museum. We do one in New York at best. Page Black for the March of Dimes to. For Joe Namus. We raise a million dollars in one day. We do one for Derrick Brooks for his charter school, which been going on for about 25 years. So for golf, what it has done in so many ways, I start to understand I needed something to do when I. Besides just trying to think about football, walking golf courses, hanging out and come to find out there was so many other guys who were trying to play the game and it allowed a lot of us to compete, but compete in a different way.

[Josh Arnold]

I can't think of a sport that's more the opposite to football than golf. It's indescribably opposite.

[John Randall]

Totally, totally.

[Josh Arnold]

It's gentle, it's just a peaceful walk. It's.

[John Randall]

It's Just you.

[Josh Arnold]

It's not dangerous.

[John Randall]

It can be.

[Joe]

I can help you with that, Joe, because I was listening to an interview, maybe a week or so. It was during super bowl week, and Bo Jackson was on with Dan Patrick. And did you hear that interview?

[John Randall]

Yeah.

[Joe]

And Bo said, I took up golf, and it frustrated the living hell out of me because I wanted that golf ball to be going 95 miles an hour, not sitting still. But it made me adapt and cope mentally with the aspect of the game. And I thought that was. That was such a cool. And this is what. One of the five greatest athletes in the history of the world.

[John Randall]

I've played golf with Bo out in Chicago, and exactly my first time I ever played was here with a buddy of my family. He was an air traffic controller. And he said, all you got to do. He's holding the golf ball. All you got to do is hit this ball. It's not moving.

[Josh Arnold]

It's just sitting right there, which is terribly frustrating.

[John Randall]

Oh, my God. You just. Just gotta hit it. And I'm like, this is simple. Anybody can do this. And at that standpoint, man, was like a nightmare. I thought about it day and night. How can I hit this ball? And I broke clubs. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

With you, then it would be dangerous.

[John Randall]

Oh, no reason. It's dangerous. You can be out there, and some of us seen it. Some people out there on the golf course have no idea what they are doing.

[Joe]

You're looking at four of them.

[John Randall]

Yeah.

[John]

Okay.

[John Randall]

And you hear this word, four.

[Josh Arnold]

Hit the deck.

[John Randall]

See?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that's dangerous.

[John Randall]

But you know what I'm saying, I've got out. I played out there one day with Anthony Munoz. I had Lynn Swan and I had. Who was it? Lawrence Taylor. Man. There were all kind of stuff going on.

[Gabe]

Crisscross, applesauce.

[John Randall]

Oh, my God, man. My attention deficit was just off the chain. He got cigars, drinks, music. I'm just like, stop. But it was so much fun because it just wasn't about the golf. It was the camaraderie.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[John Randall]

The hanging out. Man, listen to stories. Lawrence Taylor telling us stories about him driving down the freeway in New York, looking over at Giant Stadium and going, I wonder why they got all those lights on. Drives over.

[Josh Arnold]

Was he late for the game?

[John Randall]

Oh, yes. He pulls up and they go, come on in. He goes, what's going on? Concert. They go, no, the game's about to start. Another hour. I was like, oh, my God. I mean, the time I played behind Michael Jordan and Tiger woods, and they were like, hey, you can come play with us.

[Joe]

Is it a best ball? Is it a best ball?

[John Randall]

I don't know what it was, but I had my cigar, and I was like, I know. Taught me to run. I was running.

[Gabe]

That would have cost you a lot of money, dude. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I got a reason to ask you this. Have you ever taken lessons?

[John Randall]

Oh, my God, yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay, here's why I asked that. You can go to every pro here. I'm sure there's many offering tips and advice and lessons. Every single one of them will tell you something different.

[John Randall]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

It drives me. Drives me crazy. There is a simplicity to it that's attainable. But the minute you think you got it figured out and it's simple, you'll run into a pro that says, no, your right elbow is in the wrong spot and your left hand should be turned over. It drives me crazy. There's nobody that preaches the simplicity. They say they do, but then they introduce all of these complex dynamics that I just end up saying, the hell with it.

[John Randall]

Well, here's my question. I went out one day and shot like a 76. And I'm.

[Josh Arnold]

Nothing wrong with that.

[John Randall]

Oh. But I came back to coming back. What'd you shoot, like a 96?

[Gabe]

176.

[John Randall]

One time I just stopped. I just looked at the caddy. I was like, Forrest Gump, I'm going home.

[Joe]

I'm going home.

[Josh Arnold]

You know the lesson I got one time for a guy? It's true. True story. I had taken many lessons from a friend of mine, and the lesson was, get back in your car, drive back to Highway 36 at the speed limit, turn around, come back at the speed limit, park your car and walk over here. His point being, quit being in a hurry. And he. So he made me drive. And I had to pay him for that. I had to pay him for telling me to drive my car a half mile.

[John Randall]

I was down in Houston. Guy named Jackie Burke.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I know that name.

[John Randall]

And this guy was sitting there. Jackie was talking to us. And this guy goes, jackie, I need some lessons. Go out there and swing a couple clubs. Let me see what you got. Got swings back, you know, Jackie, come here. Come back. He goes, what do you think? He goes, we can fix it. We can fix it. He goes, so, what do you. How much are you going to charge? He goes, $20,000. $20,000? He goes, yeah. What do you expect when you want me to create miracles from that?

[Josh Arnold]

It certainly is peculiar that Minnesota probably has more per capita or more golf courses per capita than anywhere in the country. And we have probably one of the.

[Joe]

Shortest seasons, I was gonna say. Is it because we're so desperate to get outside?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, absolutely. Like I said when we got here, I would play today if there was a course open. It's not that bad. There's warmth in the sun. There's no wind all weekend. It's supposed to be, except there's too much. There's no course. There's snow still on the ground.

[John Randall]

I'm sure if we looked. Yes, there's some.

[Gabe]

Yes.

[John Randall]

Open.

[Gabe]

Some HS track out there that's just like.

[John]

Yep.

[Gabe]

We want your money. We want you. Our greens are the shit.

[Joe]

But south, look out for dog poop.

[Josh Arnold]

Southwest, your Minnesota is going to give.

[John Randall]

You a golf cart. You go ahead. Yes. Oh, got a golf cart.

[Joe]

Johnny, I think I might have asked you this last year. Your favorite.

[John]

You.

[Joe]

You must golf in a million charity golf tournament. What's your favorite one that you golf in every day?

[John Randall]

That's the one out of pebble beach for the Navy SEALs. Because the first day, you know, at pebble beach, they play the bagpipes. Yeah. And soon as they get done with the bagpipes, these guys are parachuting in.

[John]

Oh, cool.

[John Randall]

And. And then when they get in, they've got this alcoholic beverage there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Quench the guy's thirst. I partake in it on occasion, but the second morning, me, Randall McDaniel, Anthony Munoz, we're in the gym at about 6.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[John Randall]

And these Navy SEAL guys are playing in the pool about seeing who can stay down in the pool the longest.

[Gabe]

No, dude, no.

[John Randall]

I'm like, hey, John, you want to join us?

[Gabe]

I like watching from above. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

It's pebble beach weekend. It's on right here in the 19th hole. Pebble beach weekend looks like they're having wonderful weather. I lost a. A match at pebble beach to a guy whose ankle had broke the previous day. Yeah, I was showing him. He had a walking cast on. He beat me at pebble beach the previous day. I'd broken his ankle with a shot.

[Joe]

Wasn't there a lawyer involved?

[Josh Arnold]

I guess it is dangerous, John. I told you.

[John Randall]

Now he says, dangero.

[Joe]

Joe, tell Johnny. Wasn't there a lawyer involved with that ankle?

[Josh Arnold]

There was a lawyer in the group. And he put us all in a car and drove around and. And kept asking the guy whose ankle I broke which house he wanted, meaning.

[Joe]

Joe was gonna pay for it.

[Josh Arnold]

For breaking his ankle. Yeah. It was Mark Moeller. That's right. That's Jeweler. And I had broken his ankle at Spyglass.

[John Randall]

Oh, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Sounded like A melon dropped off. A fifth story because I hit him square with it for about 70 yards away. And the next day we had to take him to the hospital. They put a walking cast on him, and he beat me the next day. So that's how good I am. I couldn't beat a guy in a cast.

[John Randall]

Yeah, Well, I did break Glenn Mason's club one day. I hit it by accident. Broke his head of his club.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[John Randall]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

He didn't care.

[Gabe]

That's pretty powerful shot, though, Royce. Or was it. Or you snapping it?

[John Randall]

I just accidentally hit him with his bag right now. Dude, I was swinging too.

[Gabe]

I think it was gonna go.

[John Randall]

Oh, that baby was gonna be hollering.

[John]

Shoot.

[Josh Arnold]

Whose ankle did Royce break? A senior player. And then he gave up the game because he got so.

[Gabe]

Not Hale Irwin.

[Josh Arnold]

It wasn't Hail Irwin. It was a senior famous guy. It was at TPC in Blaine, and Royce chipped onto the. Hit a hard chip and broke the guy's ankle on the green. But he was a pga. He's played in the Old Timers League, the PGA seniors. Royce, he broke the guy's ankle.

[John Randall]

What are you Minnesotan doing up here hurting all these people?

[Josh Arnold]

We don't get to play enough, John. We have a short season.

[John Randall]

I know that. Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

As I said, we are at the North American Banking Company Golf Show. It's today through Sunday at the Minneapolis Convention Center. And every ticket you buy, incidentally, on online, is good for 15 free greens fee passes. Anybody take advantage of that?

[John]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

That's amazing. You get to pick your courses.

[Joe]

Well, they're. I believe there's. Anyone.

[Josh Arnold]

Anyone.

[Joe]

I believe they're set courses. They're set courses that are participants.

[Josh Arnold]

Are they all in the metro area? That can be all over the state.

[Joe]

Oh, John Harris is the golfer you were looking for. John Harris.

[Josh Arnold]

He didn't. It was not John here.

[Joe]

All right. Thanks, Bernie, for that information. That was incorrect.

[Josh Arnold]

Sorry, Bernie. It wasn't. John here.

[John]

Just like the show. Somebody gives us the wrong information from hrs.

[Josh Arnold]

It's a normal show, isn't it?

[John Randall]

Yeah.

[Joe]

All right, now, I asked you about your favorite. Now, I think I asked you this last year when you were here. So. Joe, every year, Mr. Randall participates in the Jim Kelly Golf Tournament out in Buffalo, New York, and he's associated with some good friends of mine. And these are the kind of guys, Joe, that I tend to go to a Bills game with every. Every so often. And I think we need to get you out to that because it's. It's Golf. Yeah, but there's no elegance involved.

[Josh Arnold]

Do they jump on tables?

[John Randall]

Don't do it.

[Joe]

Don't do Johnny. You gotta have Joe. We gotta take Joel.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm gonna take John's advice. I'm not doing it.

[John Randall]

They are. I witnessed one of these guys one day try to tackle Goldberg the wrestler.

[Gabe]

Yeah.

[John Randall]

That was not good. No, no, that was not good.

[Joe]

And you want to know part of it?

[John Randall]

Oh, no. I put my hands up. I'm like, I didn't do it. I didn't touch you. Goldberg got up, dude. He was. I mean, he was angry. He looked like the Incredible Hulk. And all I did was just point like that.

[Gabe]

He's over there.

[Josh Arnold]

You know everybody in the league?

[John Randall]

Pretty much, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

All right.

[John Randall]

I. I try to. I try to associate with everybody except anybody from Green Bay.

[Josh Arnold]

Was not a boy.

[Gabe]

Wayne Levy.

[John Randall]

Wayne Levy.

[Josh Arnold]

The 2016 Wayne Levy. It was Wayne Levy. Royce. He hit him.

[Gabe]

Quick question for you about your history with the Vikings. Larry Fitzgerald, local kid, went to Holy Angels. Wonderful. Again, like I said back there, good to the help guy. Really nice behind the scenes.

[John Randall]

Great man. Larry. Yeah.

[Gabe]

What are your memories of him growing up when he was hanging around with the club as a ball boy, and I knew he was hanging out with Moss and Carter and those guys, but did you have any early interactions or observations on. On Larry?

[John Randall]

Yeah. So one of the funny stories about, like, I was actually telling. I was telling Darryl Green a story about Larry. And so training camp, Larry was suggesting that he wanted to wash our cars. Okay. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Gabe]

Smart kid.

[John Randall]

Give him 100 bucks. Yep. So I happened to be coming from that mall in Mankato a Manado.

[Joe]

The River Hills Mall.

[John Randall]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Hell, yeah.

[John Randall]

So I'm driving back, and I noticed this nice car coming out from the car wash and happened to witness Larry Fitzgerald driving his car from the car wash. Brings it back. I think it might have been Dante Culpepper's car. I'm out of here. Yeah. Dante hands him 100 bucks. And I'm sitting there looking at him. He's like. He called me Mr. Randall. Don't tell anybody, Larry. That's what you've been doing. I want five bucks.

[Gabe]

I want a piece of the action. Yes. Yes. What a smart kid. He knows what he's doing.

[John Randall]

But you know what, Larry, man, he was great about listening, talking to guys. And he. I've. I play golf with him. I played golf with dad a couple of times. But for me, he represents this state. Well. Yes, he's the guy. Even though he didn't play for Minnesota Vikings. He represents this state, and I think he represents everything we want from an athlete who was born and bred here in Minnesota.

[Joe]

No doubt.

[John Randall]

I mean, he's just a smart guy. The things that he's involved with and, I mean, every time I see him, he got a smile on his face, and he's almost like a little brother because I've seen him grow up, right. I'm in the locker room, you know, catching footballs, hanging out with the guys.

[Gabe]

And paying his dues.

[John Randall]

Yeah, that's it, man. So I'm so proud. I took a photo with him when he got. Just got in the hall, and his dad was there and he. And I was there, and I was sitting there talking and. And the conversation we were having. Like I said, I call his dad Big Larry. I'm like, yeah, dude. Big Larry, I'm so proud. Not so just for your son. Also for you, and so happy for you because you've always been around the locker room. You were. You were considered one of the guys. And I just. So proud and so happy to see him get in.

[Josh Arnold]

What year did you go in the hall?

[John Randall]

I went into 2010.

[Josh Arnold]

First time.

[John Randall]

No, I got it back then they were only doing one defensive lineman or one lineman. So the defensive lineman got in was Bruce Smith.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[John Randall]

So Bruce got in with Randall. And then the following year I went in. I. I was glad because I went with Emmett Smith and Jerry Rice.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[John Randall]

And Jerry sent me a pair of gloves.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, boy.

[John Randall]

Sign. Emmett sent me a bottle, Johnnie Walker Blue, because we were drinking that with Jerry Jones. Jerry came to the table and was like, I'm so happy to see you guys get in, especially Emmett and blah, blah, blah. So you guys, here's a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue.

[Gabe]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[John Randall]

He's all touchy. I just enjoyed his. Here, let me get the first one on you guys. It was fun, though, man. I actually took a photo with Jerry.

[Gabe]

Somebody have to carry you away from the table or offer you assistance to get out of there?

[John Randall]

Oh, no, no, no, man.

[Gabe]

I'm a Minnesota seasoned veteran. What season veteran.

[John Randall]

I grew up here in Minnesota, up in the north, man.

[Josh Arnold]

You know, you said the swimming move and you're working your way to the quarterback. What do you guys really say to each other between plays when you're walking back and some. The opponent bumps into you and you look at him. What are you guys.

[Gabe]

And you're not miked up. And you're not mike.

[Josh Arnold]

You're not miked up. What are you saying to each other?

[Gabe]

John, can you Say, yeah.

[John Randall]

Can I say what?

[Josh Arnold]

It's a podcast and that you can say anything you want.

[Gabe]

Yeah, yeah, you're good. No FCC license.

[John Randall]

Okay. Well, sometimes if I was in the right mood, I would say something like, you know what? I'll be. I'll be right back to kick your ass again. Or I would say, did you see that? Oh, you didn't see? It was too quick for you? You know, okay, I'm like. Or I would say something like, it's so sad that you guys can't even protect your quarterback. It's so sad. And they paying you all that money. Or I would say something like, you know what? I can't say this because it be taking in wrong. Let's just say that we were doing stuff to their quarterback. I'm like, yeah, man, we just taking advantage of him.

[Joe]

You know, speaking of fcc, Johnny, I remember.

[Josh Arnold]

I can't imagine what that would have.

[Joe]

Been one of those pieces done on you, you know, with. If it's an NFL Films thing or whatever. I can't remember. But they panned to Farve. You've got the notable Packer fan at the end of the table over there. But he said, oh, f. I wanted nothing to do with 93, man.

[John Randall]

So it's funny that I've been working for the league, for the NFL. Frank Winters is one of my coordinators. He was Brett's center. And so Frank and I was. We were sitting there, we were a little bit thirsty. We had a couple cigars hanging out and. And we were talking about it. I go, frank, you used to bug the F out of me. Because Frank has this whiny New York voice and he's from Chicago. And he'd be like, ah, you're not coming over here today. You're not getting to him. I already talking for him. And we're not having that. Minnesota. You know what I'm saying? Nah, nah. And he be grabbing his ball. Nah, we're not having it. Not putting up with it. Johnny, we'll let one of my other guys get in, but not you. We gonna double check.

[Gabe]

I love the needle.

[Josh Arnold]

I can see where you guys would be terribly disruptive on a golf course.

[John Randall]

We have. We have fun. I'm. I tell you what, some of the best fun I've had on a golf course is with Andre Reed because he has no filter and he plays any type of music. Oh, and I've been out there without. Been playing with somebody who's paid some good money to play golf. And I start out even before we start Playing. I go, I apologize for what is about to happen.

[Gabe]

Forgive me, Father. I know there will be sins.

[John Randall]

Yes. I go, yes. He's gonna do things that you've never seen on a golf court. The guy goes, what do you mean? And the guy be getting ready to hit. And Andre will pull up on his golf cart right in front of a guy, hey, you seen my ball?

[Gabe]

Love that.

[John Randall]

Like, stop, man. Stop. What? I'm not doing anything.

[Gabe]

Just trying to find my ball.

[Josh Arnold]

What course do you play most often in this area?

[John Randall]

Probably Golden Valley, because I see Rocco out there. I never seen a man play barefoot before.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, Mediate.

[John Randall]

Yeah, he's got a cigar. So I'm like, he's got a cigar. He's playing golf. I'm gonna ask him, can I play with him? So he was like, sure, yeah. I was like, oh, this is heaven.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, he's pretty good player.

[John Randall]

Oh, my God. Yeah, dude. He could tell you where the ball's going.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[John Randall]

I'm. Me, on the other hand, I'm like, I don't know where it's gonna go. Y' all may want to move out to it. But I love it, though. Golf is so much fun. I mean, I consider myself the Rodney Dangerfield of golf.

[Josh Arnold]

You don't get any respect.

[John Randall]

Nah. No. Because the caddy will be like, hey, y' all may want to move out the way. Because he doesn't know where he's going. I'm like, I know where I'm going.

[Gabe]

He's got the big Rodney bag that pulls off the. The stereo.

[John Randall]

Flask in there. I got it all, man.

[Joe]

How many rounds? Like, weekly or. Or annually?

[John Randall]

I probably get about four to five.

[Josh Arnold]

That's enough. That's good.

[John Randall]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[John Randall]

It's. You know, I mean, I just enjoy. It's such a great game. You get out there, man, you wear your colorful clothing, got some nice Frank Sinatra music playing, and you get there early in the morning. You're done by 10, 10, 30. Home. Home by 11 for the young and the Restless, Victor Newman.

[Gabe]

Victor Newman.

[John Randall]

Get home. What you doing?

[Gabe]

Of all time.

[John Randall]

It's like. I mean, like, last year, I played with this guy named Jimenez. The senior PGA last year down in Boca.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[John Randall]

And he was smoking cigars, and he was handing them out. He goes, what you shoot? I'm like, I don't know, dude. After that third cigar, I gave up.

[Gabe]

I'm here for the entertainment now.

[Joe]

Yes.

[Gabe]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

You know, our guy down on the end, John Height, is a rabid Green Bay fan.

[John Randall]

Oh, yeah. So you know what that Means, don't you, that his family has some inbreeding.

[Josh Arnold]

Wait a minute.

[John]

I'm not from Wisconsin.

[Gabe]

Well, if you buy into Wisconsin, North.

[Josh Arnold]

Dakota.

[John Randall]

You believe that's okay. It's all right with me. But that's on you. That guy.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, Johnny Randall, you're always fun to have at the golf show, man. Thank you. Yeah. Love to play with you sometime, dude.

[John Randall]

Let me know. Yeah, I play with all the guys, everybody. I mean, it doesn't matter.

[Josh Arnold]

That'd be fun.

[Joe]

But he's got to pay, right, John? I'll pay.

[Gabe]

Make him pick up the tab.

[Josh Arnold]

I always say when a game starts is how much can I lose? And then it's told to me. And if it's approved, if I can hang it, I'll swing it. I'll play.

[John Randall]

Yeah. Hey, I love to play with you. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

All right.

[Joe]

His worst day was when he got the hole in one. Would that run you?

[Josh Arnold]

That costs a lot of money, John. I got a hole in one one time on October 25, end of the season, but it was a beautiful day. Go into the pro shop and wait.

[John Randall]

Back.

[Gabe]

Back up, back up. He takes the shot. It goes into the hole. He sees that he gets a hole in one.

[Josh Arnold]

I didn't even see it.

[Gabe]

Okay. But he knows that he gets a hole in one. What's your first thought?

[Josh Arnold]

How much will this cost me?

[John Randall]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Right?

[John]

Yes.

[Gabe]

It wasn't joy that I got a hole in one.

[Josh Arnold]

Joy at all.

[Gabe]

What is this gonna cost? Bus me.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm seeing bus loads of people.

[John Randall]

That happened to me at Mike Tyson's golf tournament out in Seattle. Yep. I'm with Robert Smith, and Rob was in the front of me. And I'm with four guys I do not know. But all I know, they were wasted by the third hole. And I hit like a 140. Shot was 138. I hit it 140. It hit and rolled in that hole. And I'm like, where it go? These four knuckleheads are half in the bag, jumping around, drinking, pouring champagne. What are y' all doing? It went in. I looked at Robert Smith. He go. He's in the hole. And I went, why'd it do that? That's gonna cost me a lot of money.

[Josh Arnold]

It really would.

[John Randall]

And I'm thinking, I gotta tell my. How am I gonna tell my wife?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Gabe]

Don't look at the checking account. Don't look at the checking account.

[Joe]

This charity event that I was doing is gonna cost me.

[John Randall]

It's gonna cost me money. I came out here as a Charity event. I'm like. And what saved me was everybody was sitting around waiting. They were drinking back here. And I'm like, I might as well just sneak off and go back to Minnesota. So that's what I did.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, John, when I got in, we couldn't find my name on the. On the list of guys who had paid all year for the insurance. And finally the kid came, and we found my name. Oh, live it up. I'm buying lunch. And this. That. Then the kid runs in and tells me, geez, I hate to tell you, this. Hole in one insurance expired at midnight last night. I broke my leg damn near trying to run to the bar to say.

[John Randall]

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

[Josh Arnold]

And then I threw a little tantrum.

[John Randall]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Little and little. And everybody except two guys paid. So I still made money, because at that. That place had a lot of members. And if you. You got two bucks from 400 people, 300 people, you were making some money.

[John Randall]

Yeah. I tell you what, the best hole in one I ever seen was by Bobby Bell.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah?

[John Randall]

Yeah. And why it was such an experience was Bobby. It was a part 3. He brings up a driver. He couldn't even see the damn hole. And he goes, all right. He. We're moving him like, okay, turn, adjust, adjust. And he swings. And he. If you know Bobby, he's like, hey, where'd it go? Where'd it go? I'm like, over there, man. And you saw it just come down. Boom. Roll on in. In the hole. And he won $5,000. Wow.

[Josh Arnold]

Wow.

[John Randall]

And I'm like, bob, you know, you owe me at least 500 bucks.

[Joe]

I turned you the right way.

[Josh Arnold]

You helped.

[John Randall]

Yeah. Yeah. Kidding me, man. You, man. I'm not paying you nothing.

[Gabe]

I was a consultant. I was a consultant, and I'm like.

[John Randall]

Bobby, on the behalf of the great state of Minnesota, I think I'm entitled to, like, 500. He goes, man, we're not in Minnesota. Whoops.

[Josh Arnold]

Johnny Randall. Thank you.

[John Randall]

[Gabe]

Before we go to John. And we're closing the book on Johnny Randall. He's such a jovial guy that all of his face painting and hard guy stuff really must have been a bit. I mean, he probably teased the line, but he's just a really good guy.

[Josh Arnold]

What did you want him to do?

[Gabe]

Well, no, he always played tough guy. Hard ass.

[John Randall]

He was.

[Gabe]

Well, I, I know, but you don't.

[Joe]

Get invited to everything if you're not a great guy.

[Josh Arnold]

If you're.

[Joe]

If you're.

[Gabe]

Stefan Diggs is probably not.

[Joe]

Yeah, he's not getting.

[Josh Arnold]

He's the rookie of the National Football League.

[Joe]

America's guest.

[Gabe]

America.

[John]

Thank you.

[Gabe]

Okay.

[John]

Even the video that Chris referenced, I mean, it's funny as heck. The Charlie Batch is what I always remember. Charlie Batch was a quarterback for the Lions, remember?

[Gabe]

Yeah.

[John]

And John Randall stand on the other side of the line going, hey, Charlie, Charlie. Before the play, as he's trying to get set up for the play. And you can tell the guy's probably just shaking his head going, what is wrong with you?

[Josh Arnold]

They had to invent their own ways to have fun because the game is so horrible.

[Gabe]

Well, and I forgot to ask him too about Peyton Manning. When he would go up to the line and he would yell the first names of either wags wives or girlfriends of the linemen and they kind of go, why is he saying, you know, Shanice? And I want to know if that was really true. Because if that was true, like 72 Shanice. 72 Shanice. Like what?

[John]

How does he know my girlfriend in news?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, John, I got.

[John]

I don't know. I. You know, it's always tough on these. Do you do it is serious news. Do you do funny news?

[Joe]

Well, it is a fun Friday.

[John]

It is a fun Friday. Those.

[Josh Arnold]

We don't do those.

[John]

Oh, we don't do fun Fridays. Oh, hey, before I start, I'm going to embarrass my offspring. Okay.

[Gabe]

Yeah.

[John]

The guy that does the music for the show, he's standing back there in that peach colored shirt.

[Joe]

Oh, is it salmon? That's salmon.

[Gabe]

Salmon, yeah.

[Joe]

Salmon color.

[John]

That's Dylan. Dylan Hyde. So thank you, Dylan.

[Gabe]

Very talented. Available for hire.

[John]

Yep.

[Gabe]

Darn shoot.

[John]

In any respect, really.

[Josh Arnold]

Exactly.

[John]

Let's. I'm going to just start with some off the wall stories. Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[John]

Anthony Sapienza and Julianne Sapienza are facing battery charges after a heated pickleball Match in the Spruce Creek County Club in Port Orange, Florida, turned physical, leading to a brawl, one witness reported involved over 20 people. The couples pleaded not guilty. It was in Volusia County, Florida. The deputies arrived around 11:10 in the morning of February 8th after getting a 911 call about a physical fight in progress. A couple at the scene told deputies they'd been playing a pickleball game with the Sapienzas when Anthony accused the male opponent of stepping into the kitchen. You guys know what the kitchen is?

[Joe]

Oh, yeah.

[Gabe]

Hey, now can we see it?

[Josh Arnold]

There's a pickleball kitchen.

[John]

Yes. The kitchen is the term used to describe an area that goes seven feet from the net to the sidelines.

[Josh Arnold]

I see.

[John]

And it's used to prevent players from smashing the ball downward.

[Josh Arnold]

Not supposed to go in there.

[John]

Yeah, yeah. Because you could hurt somebody if you smash the ball.

[Joe]

Who here plays pickleball? Anyone? Anyone? Have you guys ever experienced a pickleball tournament? Because I have.

[Josh Arnold]

I've seen them.

[Joe]

These people are insane.

[Josh Arnold]

I can tell you what the problem is when John's done with the story.

[John]

Okay. The dispute led to the couples lobbing verbal insults at one another. Then as the cunt was. Sorry, that's the worst.

[Josh Arnold]

Hello.

[John]

Oh, God.

[Gabe]

That's a different area.

[Joe]

That's a different area of the pixel.

[Gabe]

It was a Larry David episode in the obituary when. When aunt was spelled improperly. She was literally.

[Josh Arnold]

What? I thought he said.

[John]

I gotta show Rock.

[Josh Arnold]

What the hell's wrong? Oh, my God. What's wrong with you?

[John]

It's on the sheet of paper.

[Gabe]

It's on the sheet of paper and.

[John]

I wasn't going to say it.

[Josh Arnold]

Did he say what I thought he said?

[John]

I only said the first part.

[Gabe]

He said continued.

[John]

Yes, I did.

[Gabe]

Yes, it is continued in the next page.

[John]

Well, I have to go now. I'll see you guys.

[Progressive Insurance Announcer]

Hey.

[Joe]

Head in the water. The.

[John]

Well, that's where I thought the conversation would go.

[Josh Arnold]

And hey. Hit in the water. You.

[John]

The dispute led to the couples. Couples. The word there I wanted was couples.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Gabe]

Stay away from the C words.

[John Randall]

Okay.

[John]

Verbal insults at one another. Then as the match was ending. I don't know if I should even read the next sentence.

[Josh Arnold]

Be very careful.

[John]

And the other couple was walking off the court. Anthony allegedly, loudly remarked, your wife.

[John Randall]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

You can't.

[Gabe]

You can't say that. I didn't say you are one. I said you're acting like one.

[Joe]

That's the big difference. There's a difference there.

[Josh Arnold]

I can cut to the chase here and tell you the whole Problem.

[John]

Here we go.

[Josh Arnold]

Pickle ball makes too much noise.

[John]

What?

[Josh Arnold]

The people around pickle ball courts hate it because it's too loud, I guess.

[John]

I've never heard of.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, you have. It's a loud, loud report every time you hit it.

[John]

Is it louder than tennis?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, God, yes.

[John]

Really?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Gabe]

Oh, you don't mean the chatter.

[Josh Arnold]

You don't mean ball hitting the racket is loud. It's loud. Clicks.

[Gabe]

Not when I played once.

[Josh Arnold]

No, it was like clump. It's terrible. Get into one of these developments in Florida, Mr. Haver Camp. Go out there and play pickleball. They're going to wake everybody up.

[Gabe]

Got it.

[Joe]

When you Midnight. When you picture a south Florida pickleball court at a retirement home, what are you. What are you picturing in your mind?

[Josh Arnold]

Too much noise from the pickleball?

[Joe]

No, but I mean like the, the visual aspect of the. Is there a lot of.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm seeing some bony knees.

[Gabe]

Somebody that should just be sitting by the pool instead.

[John]

Bony knees.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm seeing some bony.

[Joe]

Or as when Royce used to live in Fort Myers. I gotta go down and monitor the bathing beauties.

[John]

What happened after all this anyway was that everybody started yelling at each other. Then everybody started hitting each other. Anthony, the fellow that we charged, punched the other man in the left side of the face, hitting him with a pickleball paddle, causing what police called significant bleeding.

[Josh Arnold]

Jeez, this is terrible.

[John]

Well, it gets worse. When the victim's wife tried to run to his aid, a 70 year old male witness reported seeing Anthony forcefully push that woman to the ground. That witness, the 70 year old then tried to intervene and Anthony started swinging and punched him in the face.

[Josh Arnold]

Terrible.

[John]

The older fella also was bleeding profusely from the nose. According to the.

[Gabe]

You got to make sure you're not on Coumadin or any blood thinner.

[Josh Arnold]

Was this. Was this at a place called the Villages?

[John]

It didn't say.

[Josh Arnold]

There's a place in Florida called the Villages. This is important, you know what I'm saying?

[John]

It's where Port Orange.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know.

[Gabe]

I don't know where Port Orange is.

[John]

You don't know where the village.

[Josh Arnold]

I do know where the Villages are. I've never been there. They're in the middle of the middle of the state, I think.

[Joe]

You know, who would have thought that we would.

[Josh Arnold]

Quite excited.

[Joe]

We didn't need to worry about the hall of fame professional football player on a microphone. We had to worry about the news guy.

[John]

I. You know how long I've been in broadcasting?

[John Randall]

Many years.

[John]

4050 years almost.

[Josh Arnold]

John, it was an innocent mistake. No problem.

[John]

Glad we're not on radio because I just packed my bag and go at this point.

[Gabe]

And the boss wants to see you.

[John]

Woman living. I wish Kenny was here for this story.

[Josh Arnold]

Wonder where Kenny is.

[Gabe]

I think he's trying out good yesterday. He looks like he had Covid.

[John]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Really looked like he was getting loaded.

[Gabe]

Until Monday. He said he's got Covid until Monday. Yeah.

[John]

A woman living in Pols Bow, Washington, said her home was recently invaded by over 100 raccoons last week.

[Josh Arnold]

Huh.

[John]

Woman said she's been feeding raccoons for almost 40 years in the area.

[Josh Arnold]

She shouldn't be surprised, should she, John?

[John]

But on October 3, she was surrounded by the animals and contacted authorities for help. Kitsap county deputies eventually came to her rescue after she was forced to run away in her car to escape the animals. The woman told deputy she's been feeding nearby raccoons for between 30 to 40 years, but didn't experience anything like this ever until about six weeks ago. The woman said the raccoons surround her day and night, demanding food. She also noted she's been quoted prices as high as $500 per animal to trap and relocate them. Deputies said they referred her to the Washington state department of fish and wildlife to help find a solution. The deputies obviously were able to get her out of the bad situation where she was surrounded.

[Josh Arnold]

The word finally got out in the raccoon community.

[John]

Yes, they shared.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[John]

The monkeys. Anybody? You guys monkeys fans? The band?

[Josh Arnold]

No, John.

[John]

No, no, I love the Monkeys.

[Gabe]

Yeah, the monkeys are good.

[Josh Arnold]

Sure you would, John. I'm sure you would.

[Gabe]

They weren't trying to change the world. They were just trying to make fun music.

[Josh Arnold]

It was a TV show, Matt. They were made up. It was.

[Gabe]

Yeah, but they ran fast. You know, they'd go in the door, out the door. They're always being chased by, like, a gorilla or something.

[John]

It was like the Marx brothers. Yes.

[Gabe]

They had antics. You know, Springsteen.

[Josh Arnold]

They're all dead except Mickey.

[John]

Well, and that's a part of what this story is about. Joe, thank you. Mickey is the last monkey, and he's doing a tour. 60 Years of the Monkeys, his new tour for 20, 26.

[John Randall]

Wait a minute. Sad.

[Josh Arnold]

Maybe you can.

[Gabe]

Sad.

[Josh Arnold]

Maybe you can go to that.

[John Randall]

It's gonna go watch that.

[Josh Arnold]

It'll be sold out.

[Gabe]

60 years of the monkey.

[John]

I think it'll do fine.

[Gabe]

Is he the one that wore the hat?

[John]

He was the drummer or he wears a stocking? No, that's Mike Nesmith.

[Josh Arnold]

Do you know what he did before that?

[John]

Yeah, he was. Yeah, Circus boy.

[Josh Arnold]

Circus boy.

[John]

Circus what?

[Josh Arnold]

There was a show called Circus Boy, and he was the boy.

[John]

Yeah. And. And he.

[Gabe]

Is that part of this crab deal or something? He was the crab boy.

[John]

He was 10 years old when he started on that. And then he. He was an actor. So he went to the auditions for this. That's how he got the job.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[John]

As an actor.

[Gabe]

So he's an actor before a musician, Correct.

[Josh Arnold]

That's right.

[John]

Going back to Mickey, he says, I think about all the old fellas all the time. After Davey passed, I couldn't even look at some of the video because I'd start crying. Mike Nesmith was the last to go. He died December 2021, less than a month after he and Dolan's wrapped up the Monkey's farewell tour with the show at the Greek Theater. Mike is the one who.

[Progressive Insurance Announcer]

Dad.

[John]

Mike wore the stocking cap. And Mike was actually the only real musician in the band. He had played guitar and written songs. Actually had written a hit for Linda Ronstadt.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, Michael Nesmith.

[John]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

You know what is. You know what his mother's claim to fame was?

[John]

I do.

[Josh Arnold]

What? She invented whiteout.

[Gabe]

Oh, really?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. He wasn't looking for his next meal.

[John]

Yeah, he was doing okay.

[Joe]

What venues, John, like, what size venues would. Would hold this tour?

[Gabe]

Central High School, we got capacity, 75.

[John]

Why? Guys like this, it'll do fine.

[Josh Arnold]

Theaters. He was just here.

[Gabe]

He's clinging. I think it's sad.

[Josh Arnold]

He was just here a couple years ago.

[John]

You guys may not remember this, but we had ads for that last tour here where I played guitar. Songs. Yeah, Monkey songs.

[Joe]

Oh, I do remember that.

[Gabe]

I don't recall that.

[Joe]

Yeah, I do.

[Josh Arnold]

This isn't the first time he's tried this bit.

[John]

I doubt that after hearing this that he will advertise again with us.

[Josh Arnold]

No, I hope he does. I hope he does.

[Gabe]

Anyway, coming to you live, right? Big budget.

[John]

Peter tork died in 2019. Davy Jones, the cute monkey died in 2012. Dolan says, I do feel a responsibility to keep the home fires burning. This new Tour celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Monkees TV sitcom, which premiered in September of 1966. Well, here's answer to part of what you asked. The show comes to the Cerritos center, that's Cerritos, California for the Performing arts, on Friday, February 13, where it all gets underway. He said it'll be music and 90%. He'll also talk about some of the hit songs perform then chronologically and he'll show some videos, short videos. The first song will be Last Train to Clarksville. Sure. That was their first hit.

[Gabe]

Yeah, we start with that one.

[John]

And he tells a funny story about that. I guess you guys will be the judge of that.

[Josh Arnold]

I guess we'll fly around everybody here.

[Gabe]

There really was no last train.

[John]

Nikki.

[Joe]

When you, like, guys would run out of the house, like, who was usually.

[John]

First in the middle of that song, you remember the music kind of. There's lights up. And he goes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[John Randall]

All right.

[John]

Well, Dolan says there were words to that originally.

[Josh Arnold]

Huh. But that's a hell of a story so far.

[Gabe]

It's not yet the funny story's not done.

[John]

They were.

[Gabe]

Don't get out of your chair. Yeah, hang on.

[John]

They were working 10 to 12 hour days on the TV show, probably making.

[Josh Arnold]

About 35 bucks a show.

[John]

The Monkeys. So he said, tommy Boyce wrote that song, if you remember. Boyce and Hart.

[Josh Arnold]

I do, John.

[John]

Yeah. Tommy Boyce, remember, long story. Yeah, it really is. I still got three pages.

[Joe]

It's gonna milk this baby for all.

[Gabe]

The funny's coming. The funny's coming. Hang on.

[John]

Hey, you didn't want any hard news. Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Where's the golf part of this story go?

[John]

No golf news. Boyce reminded him that there were words. And Dolan said, really? He said, yeah, but you came in to record your part after midnight. The vocals. You had just worked for the show for 10 to 12 hours. And you said, I can't do that. I can't learn all these words and sing that. It's late and I want to go home. So Tommy Boyce said, oh, bleep. See, I said bleep that time.

[Gabe]

Thank you.

[John]

Just go doodle doodle doodle doo. So he said. And that became part of the hook of the song.

[Josh Arnold]

I'll be damned.

[John]

Isn't that something?

[Josh Arnold]

That's just one hell of a music story.

[John]

Dolan said the four of them had such different tastes. It was a great fit because they were all very different. And he said the songs they got, if you know the monkey's history, they were all written by big guys. Neil Diamond, Carole King, Boys and Hart, Harry Nielsen and on and on. So the songs were great songs. He said it worked. So that's. That's about it.

[Gabe]

That's what Harry Nielsen write.

[John]

He wrote a lot of songs. I don't know, Matt.

[Josh Arnold]

He wrote a lot of stuff.

[Joe]

Like Mickey.

[John]

He wrote songs for him, but he wrote one.

[Gabe]

You know, everybody's talking at me.

[John]

He didn't write that one. Oddly Enough. He had a hit with that.

[Gabe]

That's one of my favorites.

[John]

Right. That he did Write 1. Which Three Dog Knight had a hit.

[Gabe]

With, oddly enough, on that 70s CD I talked about. Everybody's Talking at Me is on that one as well.

[Josh Arnold]

I wish you just settled down a little, Fred.

[John]

Neil wrote that one.

[Josh Arnold]

This is. This is more monkey talk than has ever existed. I don't like monkeys on the radio. It's just never happened before.

[Gabe]

It's almost like he's coming to town.

[Josh Arnold]

He's like a monkey podcast.

[John]

I bet it did in the 60s.

[Josh Arnold]

Maybe.

[Joe]

Daydream believers. That. Those guys.

[John]

That's them. Okay, very good. That's.

[Gabe]

And that was written by.

[John]

I don't know who wrote.

[Gabe]

Oh, wait, it must have been.

[John]

It was John. John Stewart, right?

[Gabe]

Yes.

[John]

Jon Stewart.

[Gabe]

Yes.

[Joe]

Daily Show.

[Gabe]

Daily Show.

[John]

Not that Jon Stewart, the guy who had a hit with gold in the 70s. You know, when the lights go down in the California town.

[Josh Arnold]

Have you been hanging out at the 19th hole over there?

[John]

Not yet.

[Gabe]

I'm a believer. Was. What's his name?

[John]

That's Neil Diamonds. That's Neil Diamond? Yep. Carole King wrote I'm not looking at.

[Gabe]

It, I feel the earth.

[John]

No, well, not for the monkeys, but she wrote Pleasant Valley Sunday for the monkeys. Spurring, golfing. How you doing, Joe?

[Gabe]

Thinking about the ride home.

[Joe]

Next story.

[Gabe]

Well, how fast that kid can get it up to 90.

[John]

Let's move along here, shall we? Let's see what's next.

[Josh Arnold]

Where is the long putting contest for 100?

[John]

Way over there.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm gonna try that for 100 grand.

[John]

Way over there.

[Josh Arnold]

What the hell?

[Gabe]

You want to walk around after the show?

[Josh Arnold]

I wonder if it. I wonder if you have to pay a fee to enter the contest. Oh, you do? Five bucks.

[John Randall]

That's nothing.

[Josh Arnold]

Five bucks to make a hundred grand.

[Joe]

Are you a good putter? In all seriousness, average your average.

[John]

Okay, Joe, you asked where Legendary was. You told me the long putt is right across.

[Josh Arnold]

I can kill two birds.

[John]

Very good.

[Joe]

You can like get some shoes.

[John]

Don't stone two birds. I can never remember the saying from trail.

[Josh Arnold]

Kill two birds with one stone.

[John]

No, there's. There's a difference. Like what is it? Dale?

[Gabe]

Get two birds at once.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that's right.

[Joe]

Is that a monkey song?

[John]

No, that's a Trailer park boys.

[Gabe]

Ah, that's written by Neil Diamond.

[John]

I gotta. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Who put this here?

[Gabe]

They're Ross are probably great.

[Josh Arnold]

I've never seen water before.

[Gabe]

And it's cool.

[John]

It was ice cold. It was.

[Josh Arnold]

Never seen it.

[Gabe]

John Randall. John Randall really enjoyed his.

[Josh Arnold]

John, you have another story if you want.

[John]

Joe.

[Josh Arnold]

I do.

[John]

Let's talk about another band from this. No, not do that. Minnesota Hunter lost January 3rd in the black county woods and the odds of finding him on foot weren't good. Do you see this story?

[Josh Arnold]

No, I did not see.

[John]

Now this one's very interesting.

[Josh Arnold]

The hunter that's virtually admitting that you knew that the monkey story wasn't.

[John]

I thought the monkey story is fascinating. That's just me maybe.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[John]

The hunter was Last heard from 4:30 in the afternoon January 3rd amid spotty cell phone reception. Last seen that morning according to the sheriff's department. And it was cold out.

[Gabe]

Yep.

[John]

Deputies tried a brief search at 6pm but they were limited by the cold and the cloak of night and deep snow in the wildlife management area where the St. Paul areaman disappeared by about 7. The sheriff's department changed course, called in for help from the air, activating a state run emergency response squad that's little known to Minnesotans that it's tasked with rescuing. It's called the Minnesota Air Rescue Team. Combined state patrol pilots in the city of St. Paul, firefighters all trained in search and rescue. They took off into the night in the 39,000 acre area. They're the only outfit in the state able to use its own aircraft in emergencies. It's called mart. It's become a go to supporting player for rescue efforts across Minnesota even though most Minnesotans don't know about it. Tim Luoma's chief deputy in the Lake County Sheriff's Office says it's one of the best, best assets the state has, especially for rural counties like ours. Within minutes of flying into the Mille Lacs county wma, the helicopter crew located the hunter who is dressed for mid winter conditions but still at risk. Mille Lacs County Sheriff Kyle Burton said if we hadn't found him at that point, it certainly possible he could have succumbed to the elements. Four crew members who made the rescue, two state patrol pilots, two firefighters, part of a collaboration that began between departments in 2009. Since then, state patrol helicopter pilots had helped in some emergencies, mostly by transporting law enforcement personnel to various scenes. And their role was limited and more informal. Mart currently has 13 pilots to fly the three aircraft that they have. St. Paul Fire provides what Benz describes as end of the rope responsibilities and now they've also in this rescue they had to walk through the deep snow to get to the fella.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[John]

But now they have the basket.

[Josh Arnold]

Let me ask you something. Yes, Joe, this happened January 3rd.

[John]

Yeah.

[Gabe]

I found them.

[John Randall]

Why.

[Josh Arnold]

Why are we only hearing about it today?

[John]

Well, because it's like I said, a little known. Little known organization.

[Josh Arnold]

The only guy they've ever saved.

[John Randall]

Oh, no.

[John]

Apparently they've done quite well from what I'm reading.

[Joe]

Does he like the monkeys?

[Josh Arnold]

But we really don't. I'm. I'm glad the fellow's all right. But it would have. It was. I've never heard of this before.

[Joe]

Anticlimactic.

[John]

Well, see, and now you have.

[Gabe]

Now the new technology. They just lower the basket and.

[John]

Yeah, pop them up.

[Josh Arnold]

You know, here at the stage here in the. In the golf show. There's also a blue tent that says Score North.

[Joe]

Yes, sir.

[Josh Arnold]

There's a lot of Northwest North American Banking Company Chachki there. Ball repair marks.

[Joe]

You still have your ball marker.

[Josh Arnold]

Ball markers and tees. I see some teas. Yes.

[John]

John, this just in. Mickey Dolenz will be at the Parkway Theater on July 28th this summer.

[Josh Arnold]

Really?

[John]

With this tour. I was talking.

[Josh Arnold]

I'll be fun.

[Joe]

Are you gonna go? In all seriousness, will you go to that?

[John]

Probably not, no.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[John]

Probably not last time, but I would enjoy it if I did. I'm sure.

[Gabe]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Be fun to have them on the air.

[John]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Seriously, be fun to have them on the air.

[Gabe]

Let's book them.

[Josh Arnold]

None of you young people remember. But we do.

[Gabe]

I remember the funny TV show.

[John]

I remember the monkeys. Of course.

[Joe]

Rook, if we did have a mod, what would be your first question to Mickey?

[Gabe]

I would for sure be about the TV show, not about the music.

[Joe]

Sure.

[Gabe]

But how did you guys run so fast, all of them at the same time? At great speed. Great speed. No human being can run that fast. Especially during that time sped up.

[John]

The film or the film.

[Gabe]

Oh, that's Benny Hill.

[Josh Arnold]

See, Matt, it was a takeoff on the Beatles.

[Gabe]

Oh, I thought it was a takeoff on Benny Hill.

[Josh Arnold]

No, no. Because I think in the hard days, night and some things like that, the Beatles ran around like that.

[Joe]

Have we run out of material?

[Josh Arnold]

We really have. Right here at the banking.

[Joe]

North American Banking Company Minnesota Golf Show.

[Josh Arnold]

Minnesota Golf show. Where there is extraordinary equipment, long putting contests. And if you still want to get in, you get your tickets [e-mail] because when you do 15 free greens passes. That's incredible for this season. Yeah, that would take care of a golfing season for a golfer who golfs in moderation.

[Joe]

I was gonna say for me, that's about 10 years of.

[Josh Arnold]

That'd be perfect for you. Why don't you take us at time out?

[Joe]

I Will. But first, I want to talk about We Are Nuts. And we are nuts. Mn.com you know, the silos pretty much got clobbered at the Reavers household over the course of the big game. But right now, we want to focus on the original toffee peanuts with we are nuts and wearenutsmn.com why are we calling them silos?

[Josh Arnold]

Because they're tall.

[Joe]

The big boys.

[John Randall]

Yeah.

[Joe]

But you know what? You can see because they're full of tortillas.

[Josh Arnold]

Right?

[Joe]

It's a silo full of nuts.

[Gabe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

And you can see them at Fratelloni's Hardware and Garden stores, Mac's Hardware, Lunds and Barley's, Kowalski's Markets, Colburn's Johnny Affirms County Market. They're available at 700 different quick trip locations. And also at one of my favorite locations, Coburn's also has we are Nuts. And you know what? If you aren't able to make it in any one of those locations, just order your stuff [e-mail] Place your order today, and please let them know that you heard about them here on the Garage Logic podcast, brah.

[Josh Arnold]

It occurs to me as I look around, the crowds at a golf show reflect golf. There's no. Well, no, that means there's no noise in here. There's no chaos. People are. Look at. Look at the. It's very well attended, and yet people are very quiet.

[Joe]

I bet we have. In however many years we've been doing this because of how nice the weather is. I bet we have one of our biggest crowds ever for this event.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, it'd be a great place to bring the gal tomorrow for Valentine's.

[Joe]

Oh, for sure.

[Gabe]

Okay, hon. Hear that?

[Josh Arnold]

If the gal played golf. Right.

[Joe]

Can I try out a golf cart here? I. I serious. I don't golf that often. I want to own a golf cart.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm not sure there. There are golf carts.

[Gabe]

There's probably a vendor. I would say that's been the largest advancement in golf, is the technology in golf carts. You're done with the cushman with the handle in the middle. I mean, they right now make such great golf carts that they don't even use them for golf. They're down in the Florida Keys, down in Naples, cruising around downtown.

[Josh Arnold]

Can I tell you something? Yeah.

[Gabe]

What do you got? What do you got, Lars?

[Josh Arnold]

It's been a long time since you saw the center tiller steering. Are you getting that off an old TV show or something?

[Gabe]

No. Can you hear me?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Gabe]

Did yours thing go up too.

[John]

Okay.

[Gabe]

No, I'm just saying that they have made major advances. Advancement in golf carts. They're. They're not just used for golf anymore.

[Josh Arnold]

Joe, you Remember my friend Mr. Unbelievable?

[Gabe]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

His father was a charter member of a local club.

[Gabe]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

And Mr. Unbelievable as a child was taken to the golf course in the hopes that maybe he would take up the game. Okay. But the only thing that intrigued him was the cartoon that soon had one that he took completely apart in the living room of their house.

[Gabe]

That does not surprise me.

[Josh Arnold]

I back together. And he. When he. When he left us. When he left this mortal coil, he left behind a Harley Davidson golf cart.

[Joe]

No.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Do you have.

[Josh Arnold]

No, I don't.

[Joe]

Oh, that would be cool.

[Gabe]

Of which Mr. Unbelievable. And the Harley guys that used to go.

[Josh Arnold]

Hardly Guys at the dark.

[Gabe]

So at the Dark Sox golf tournament who occasionally email us had a really cool middle handle. Cushman. That was just.

[Josh Arnold]

That was an old one. Now there's a trend in golf that I personally don't like. I suppose this makes me a curmudgeon. John Randall mentioned it ever. Increasingly, you see golfers playing and they have music going. Oh, on the course.

[Joe]

You're not a fan.

[Josh Arnold]

You do that? Well, get out of here, lady. You can't. You can't have. That's terrible. I can't go.

[Gabe]

And shame on you.

[Josh Arnold]

You go out to play golf. One of the beauties of it is you don't hear that BS now all these young people. I take it you're very young, lady. You're what, your twenties, your twenties. And. And you go out and you put this on and you have it going in the cart and people hear it. Yeah. Low. She said low. I would hear it. That's the problem.

[Joe]

You're saying I would hear it. Unless it's the podcast. You don't want anybody listening to anything.

[Josh Arnold]

No, nothing. Nothing. You're not out there to listen. But the average 30 year old who wears gold necklaces and all that BS.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

They have music going and it's infuriating to me. They're not going to take that. At the Royal and Ancient, by the way. Let me bring something else up. It's a travesty. It's either a travesty or I'll give you an answer. Another fellow had Gary Player, one of the finest golfers of all time. How many times he win the Masters? Once or twice. At least twice. Look it up for me. All right. How many times did Gary players win the Masters? He still shows up every year. He's one of the official starters. You're not going to believe this story. When I last. I don't got to know how many times Gary Player won the Masters.

[Joe]

I'm looking it up, bro.

[Josh Arnold]

I think twice.

[Joe]

90 years old.

[Josh Arnold]

He's 90, but he's in the shape of a 60 year old. He's just an incredibly gifted guy. Wonderful athlete.

[Joe]

Gary Player won the Masters in 1961, 1974 and 1978.

[Josh Arnold]

He was at Augusta this week, wanted to play with his three grandsons, and they refused him. The club would not let him play.

[Joe]

Why?

[Josh Arnold]

Because he want. He was. He intended to play without a member. Are you kidding me?

[Gabe]

Don't you become. Aren't you a member when you win?

[Josh Arnold]

That's a good point. You know, you get a locker, it doesn't necessarily mean you're a member. They wouldn't let him play. Isn't that's Gary Player?

[Gabe]

Yeah. That's really shame me out.

[Josh Arnold]

You don't kick him out, right.

[Gabe]

Iron my shirt.

[Joe]

Here's.

[Josh Arnold]

Holy mackerel.

[Joe]

Why was he referred to?

[Josh Arnold]

Well, a lot of excuses have been given, and one is, well, that could be reflective of all the time he spent at Augusta. And he's never really developed any relationships or friendships with the membership. And I'm thinking, so what he wanted three times. Now that reminds me of a local story. Bob Hope devoted a lot of his career to entertaining the troops. And he also devoted a lot of his life to playing golf. There's the story about when he was in St. Paul for a performance, you know, 70 years ago, and he was staying at the hotel on Kellogg, the Radisson. And he, he went downstairs, he went out to the street and he went to that median of grass on Kellogg Boulevard. He was hitting balls over the fencing of the river. Anyway, he came to town one summer 25, 30 years ago, and had played previously many times at Somerset. And he said, geez, I'd like to play. And they said, I'm sorry, you can't. He said, why? I'm. You know, I think I've played here before. I know a lot of guys. Your name's Bob Hope. They didn't let him play because he didn't have a member to play with. Now, I wrote about that. Giving Somerset a lot of grief. Are you kidding me? This guy, he entertained the troops, for God's sakes. It's Bob Hope. He's played here many times. He's out at the end of your driveway and you're not gonna let the guy play. And USO ripped The hell out of. And that was a Sunday column. That Sunday that the column appears, the true story. I was scheduled to play there with my back fence neighbor who read the paper, called me and said, you're not playing. You can't play today.

[John]

What?

[Josh Arnold]

He said, I think it'd be wise if you did not show up there. I said, that's cool. I don't care. If you want to be like that, that's fine with me. Wow.

[Gabe]

I would have said, but if I'm.

[Josh Arnold]

A member of someplace and Bob Hope shows up, I'm. I'm going to do everything I can to see that he gets to play.

[Joe]

Or Gary Player, the entertaining.

[Josh Arnold]

You want to know one more weird golf story?

[Gabe]

I do, oddly enough.

[Josh Arnold]

Does anybody remember the Arnold Palmer Toro snowblower commercial when he snow blowed a path up a fairway on a golf course? Anyone? Hands if you remember that?

[Gabe]

I think I remember that.

[Josh Arnold]

That was at Town and Country Club.

[Gabe]

It was?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, it's the first hole at Town and Country Club. He had a Toro snowblower and he walked down the whole fairway.

[Joe]

How'd he shoot?

[Josh Arnold]

Well, it was a winner, Chris. The dead of winter. It was showing you the power of the Toro.

[John Randall]

I see.

[Gabe]

Okay. I was confusing that with a. Another show I watched.

[Josh Arnold]

And if Arnold Palmer showed up there. He can't now. He's gone, right? If he showed up there, I'm reasonably certain he would have been allowed to play. I've seen Alice Cooper play there. I've seen Green Day play there. Any acts in town, for some reason, they gravitate there.

[Gabe]

I was confusing that with another show I had. It was a historically old show Arnold Palm Tree was gonna try to get on. I think it was Flint Rock Country Club. And they would not allow him to be on the show.

[Josh Arnold]

Only because they come to us.

[Gabe]

The caddies were mini dinosaurs. They didn't have carts back then.

[Josh Arnold]

Only because they come to us.

[Joe]

It was like a different show all.

[Josh Arnold]

The way from Arnold Palm Tree. Penguin, Tasmania.

[Gabe]

Oh, the Tasmanian Devil.

[Josh Arnold]

From the Traveling Lineman.

[Joe]

Yes, sir.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, the address is Penguin comma Tasmania, comma Australia.

[Gabe]

That's a cool address.

[Josh Arnold]

Thank you. Yeah, it was on this day, Joe.

[Joe]

Today is Friday, February 13th.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, on this day in 1857, Isanti county was created. A name for an eastern group of the Dakota. A name I can't pronounce, but it was. It was taken to mean dwellers. Dwellers at the knife camp. Or literally, they live on knives. It's the Issi. The Issen Yathy are the Meta Tawanton Sisseton, Wahpenton and Wapakut brands bands and that they apparently were in Isanti county On this day, Feb.13 in 1906, William Williams was hanged in a bungled execution in the Ramsey county jail for the murders of a teenage boy with whom he was sexually involved and the boy's mother. Williams was the 25th man and the last person of 26 legally executed in the state as capital punishment was abolished in Minnesota in 1911 following public revulsion and outcry caused by vivid newspaper accounts of his protect protracted sufferings due to a too long rope. The rope was too long so he probably his feet could probably almost touch the ground. That might have kept Johnny jump up.

[Gabe]

Deal like little babies kept him going.

[Josh Arnold]

For a while, right?

[Gabe]

Not yet. Not yet.

[Josh Arnold]

On this day. On this day, February 13th in 1909, President Theodore Roosevelt established the Superior National Forest where that guy just got lost. So we just heard about it. Actually it was Mille Lacs.

[John]

It was Malag.

[Josh Arnold]

Same thing. Six weeks later, Ontario's government responded in kind by creating Quetico Provincial Forest Reserve. Exploitative practices were restricted in these areas, preserving the beauty of lakes and trees for future generations. That nice?

[Gabe]

Yeah, that is nice.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, we got a good one today. A long one on this day. Fab 13 in 1918. Patty Berg Golf right here.

[Gabe]

Golf related.

[Josh Arnold]

Patty Berg was born in Minneapolis. She'd be 106. Wow. A consummate, right? Did I do the math right?

[John Randall]

Yes.

[Gabe]

No.

[Josh Arnold]

That should be 108.

[Joe]

108.

[Josh Arnold]

A consummate golfer.

[Gabe]

Why wouldn't she be happy?

[Josh Arnold]

And a member of the World Golf hall of Fame. She won the US Women's Open in 1946 and claimed victory in seven Western Open tournaments and four title holders championships on this day, Feb.13. Joe 1933. Leanne Chin was born in Canton, China. She immigrated to the US in 1956 and opened her first restaurant in Minnetonka's Bonaventure shopping mall in 1980. Today, her chain of Chin's Asia Fresh restaurants specializes in Asian fusion. Let me turn to our food guide. Are they still around?

[Gabe]

Oh, yeah, they are. But I believe that Leanne's family sold the chain off.

[Josh Arnold]

But it's always good to have something to sell, isn't it?

[Gabe]

Yeah, it really is.

[Joe]

On this day, February 13th.

[Josh Arnold]

Joe In 1976, more than 400 book binders in the Twin Cities went on strike against the Quality park. Against Quality Park, Minnesota. Heinrich McKay and tension envelope companies after a bargaining session failed to resolve differences about a new contract, including a disagreement about a cost of living clause. The striking members of the Graphic Arts International Union settled with all their employers two months later. And that McKay is McKay envelope Harvey McKay.

[Gabe]

Harvey one of the brotherhood of Minneapolis.

[Josh Arnold]

That's right. On this day in Minnesota sports disappointment history.

[Joe]

Who would we lose to on February 13th?

[Josh Arnold]

On this day in 1977, after a loss to Johnny Boudreaux, Scott Ledoux knocked off Howard Cosell's toupee in a post fight scuffle, claiming the fight was fixed by Don King and taunting Cosell to tell it like it is. So Scott knocked off Howard's.

[Joe]

Did you seriously, did you cover that one?

[Josh Arnold]

I don't recall that. Okay, I probably did. I don't know.

[Gabe]

Maybe the late great and you share his birthday.

[Josh Arnold]

January 7th. Scott LeDoux I want to remind people that the golf show has only begun. It's open till 6pm tonight. The North American Banking Company Minnesota Golf Shoe Golf show runs through Sunday.
