• Government Overreach Concerns: Both hosts, while repeatedly stating their live-and-let-live personal philosophies, voice discomfort over what they see as government imposition in social identity and education.

  • Chris: “However, when the government gets involved, that’s when I have a problem...It’s like, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.” (08:01)

• Chris recounts being criticized for asking if an inclusive event excludes certain people. He laments the current climate where rational questions are met with hostility.

---

  • Net worth of $500,000 = Top 1% worldwide (24:11)

• Chris goes on record: “The Minnesota Twins are going to make the playoffs this year.” (31:01)

  • He bases this on:

    • The motivational power of being underestimated.

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

  Chris (07:51): “I am not here to try to kick out anybody from any club whatsoever. I’ve always been a live and let live guy.”

• On government overreach:
  Chris (08:03): “When the government gets involved, that’s when I have a problem. Because that then insinuates...we have to abide by all of those rules.”

• On children and identity teaching:
  Chris (10:11): “My 11 year old now at 4 years old said, dad, I think I’m a fire truck now. Could you imagine being in that brainwashed society that we’re trying to implement on the public?”

[Chris Reivers]

It's time to belly up to the

[Mike Fratelloni]

pod with Mike Fratelloni and your host, Chris Reivers.

[Chris Reivers]

That's right, it's time for the weekly scramble podcast. My name is Chris Reivers. With me as always, his name is Mike Fratelloni. Hello, Michael.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Happy Friday. Re. It's kind of fun recording on a Friday morning.

[Chris Reivers]

It is. Yeah. We're a day late, but we're not a dollar short, that's for sure. Well, $2 short.

[Mike Fratelloni]

$2 billion short in the state.

[Chris Reivers]

This guy's more than that. Anyway, let's not get into that anyway, but we've got a number of topics to discuss here on. And I'm going to say this in probably what will be our final moments of today, I am going to blow your mind with a proclamation that I am going to make for the betterment of the state of Minnesota.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Okay. Because you had said you had a big thing to tell me about at the end of the show, and I thought, he's coming out of the closet, folks. I was like, holy buckets, not yet. Because they were talking bath houses. And you're like, if bath houses are coming back in Minneapolis, you better come out.

[Chris Reivers]

Well, here's the thing. So we talked the other day on the show about the decline of the hospitality industry. Basically just saying it's, we're done.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Yeah, I hope not.

[Chris Reivers]

And that's, again, as a kid that I'm not joking. Well, no. My very first job was at Philippe Ace Hardware in Farewell Minnesota. Thank you very much to the Philippe family. I loved that job. Worked there for three years, but then after that, go to school. Working in the service industry was just a part of my life forever. I mean, literally forever. So that's why it kind of stings a little deeper because of just my deep admiration for that industry. And I've always said it, every kid alive should work in that business because it teaches you so many life lessons. But I digress.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Face to face service, well, that's everything.

[Chris Reivers]

It's communication. It's dealing with adversity. It's trying to think quick on your feet. Anybody that's worked in the service industry is a plus in my book because you know what it's like to be in the weeds.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Totally agree. Yep, I totally agree. Okay. I have some quizzes for you today. Oh, I think you're quite right.

[Chris Reivers]

Reivers Wait a minute. Is it like a test quiz or just like a.

[Mike Fratelloni]

No, this is stuff that one of the quizzes. You'll be able to guess, and all of our listeners will be able to guess. The frat packers will get this for sure.

[Chris Reivers]

Okay.

[Mike Fratelloni]

All right. Frat packers will get it.

[Chris Reivers]

Thank you for saying I'm bright, by the way. Let's talk more about that. Yeah, I'm kidding.

[Mike Fratelloni]

You don't get that on your other show.

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, God, no.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Okay, I have to give you this, and I have to have you tell me what this stands for.

[Chris Reivers]

Okay.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Okay. So I heard this. Mmiwg2slg b t qia.

[Chris Reivers]

Okay, say that one more time.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Mmiwg2sl gbtqia.

[Chris Reivers]

May I ask a couple of questions before I answer? Is this some type of Elon Musk Starlink? We're flying a new rocket ship to the moon. Kind of a launch code.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Like the password to a launch code. Yeah, that is a great, great guess. That is not it. But it is MMIWG2SLGBTQIA. You should get you at least know what genre it is when I throw in the gbt. Lgbtqia.

[Chris Reivers]

That's where I was gonna go next. Because when I hear the plus, that's that all inclusive crowd of no one is left behind except for anyone that's straight, white, and whatever.

[Mike Fratelloni]

You are so reading my mind. But you know what that plus was that? I thought it was what is the morbidly obese. And I thought, oh, that's kind of nice that they're adding in fat chicks. All are welcome here if you're a little Ruben esque, a little chunky, morbidly obese, or you got a lot of go girl in you. That's what the plus was. But that's not what plus means. Okay, okay. This is a real thing. When I first heard this, I had to go to Snoops Snopes.

[Chris Reivers]

Snopes. Snopes Snoops website's a completely different animal.

[Mike Fratelloni]

I had to go to Snoops Snopes and figure out if this is real and this is real and this is in Canada. MMIWG2SL G B T QIA stands for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual. Plus.

[Mark Ellis]

Wow.

[Mike Fratelloni]

What? This is a legitimate government recognized term for critical human rights crisis in Canada. So Canadians actually say to themselves in government meetings, we need to worry about our MMIWG2SLGQBIA communities. And they use that acronym again. It stands for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2 Spirit. I don't know what that means. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, have no idea what that is. Asexual plus.

[Chris Reivers]

Okay, I have a number of questions.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Okay? I don't know what that means.

[Chris Reivers]

Again, I am not here to try to kick out anybody from any club whatsoever. I've always been a live and let live guy.

[Mike Fratelloni]

You don't care. You don't care.

[Chris Reivers]

As long as you do you and you don't hurt, harm, or do anything to anybody else that's not willing to be part of that type of lifestyle or culture. Go get them. That's cool. I don't care. I'm not here to judge. I kind of live a judge free society. However, when the government gets involved, that's when I have a problem. Because that then insinuates that here we are, we're going to declare this a designated culture and thereby here for then thou we have to abide by all of those rules. It's like, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. That's fine.

[Mike Fratelloni]

That's fine.

[Chris Reivers]

Just stay out of my way.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Whatever you want to do.

[Chris Reivers]

I don't care that you want to be recognized, but that's fine. That's the part or the part of the problem that I've had with all of this movement, this equity and inclusion movement that basically started less than 10 years ago. Okay? Whatever that time frame was. That's why I've had such a big problem. Fine, go be you.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Go do your thing. No one cares.

[Chris Reivers]

That's fine.

[Mike Fratelloni]

I don't give a damn. No one cares.

[Chris Reivers]

I don't give a damn if you're gay. I don't give a damn if you're straight. I don't give a damn if you identify as a tree. I don't give a damn. You do. You just leave me alone, okay? And the government shouldn't be involved because what's going to happen with this? The government's going to get involved in Canada. Hold on. I got to spit out my gun because I'm salivating now because I'm so worked up. The government's gonna get involved and then what's gonna happen? There are gonna be programs associated with this. They're gonna pop up to try to teach this kind of this mindset, this rhetoric, this lifestyle, and they're gonna be forcing this upon kids at a very vulnerable age. That is when I have a problem with it. You don't get to lecture me, Lecture the public and also lecture vulnerable Kids about Timmy and Johnny are in love, okay? Let kids be kids, be kids. That is when I have a problem.

[Mike Fratelloni]

We don't need to teach them about that.

[Chris Reivers]

In this entire gender studies movement, do you realize this wasn't a thing 15 years ago? Okay? If a kid all of a sudden decides at whatever age it is, 12, 15, whatever, I think I might be gay, okay, then we can have that conversation when they're 5. My 11 year old now at 4 years old said, dad, I think I'm a fire truck now. Could you imagine being in that brainwashed society that we're trying to implement on the public? They would have said, well, we need to get him reaffirming care because he is a fire truck.

[Mike Fratelloni]

He is a fire truck.

[Chris Reivers]

That's why this is complete freaking nonsense, everybody.

[Mike Fratelloni]

There's a lot of hypocrites in this movement, right?

[Chris Reivers]

We all see.

[Mike Fratelloni]

And what happens, Reivers, is when you go to school, when you go to the failed academy and you get a degree in gender studies, you can't get out of that after the 100,000 bucks and say, well, that was a mistake. You have to validate.

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, yeah, you're all in.

[Mike Fratelloni]

And when you get your Master's and your PhD in gender studies, you have to really validate it. What I don't get is that 16 character initials, that package of initials. So missing and murdered indigenous women fall into the same category is lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. So I looked up intersex, and intersex is having hermaphrodism. Is that a word? Being a hermaphrodite, right? Where you have male, female chromosome. Your genitalia are a little confused right when you were born. Why is someone who is intersex where their genitalia is mixed up? Right? You might have a lot of things going on down there, right? We've all heard about it. Why are they falling into questioning queer, transgender, bisexual, murdered and missing indigenous women two spirit lesbian. I don't get it. How is that group altogether?

[Chris Reivers]

Well, and not only that, but it's like this whole notion is to tell everybody, everyone is on the same playing field, right? We're all equal. We're all in this together. Doesn't matter what race you are, it doesn't matter what income level you have. It doesn't matter what your background is. Everyone is in this together. Which I say, okay, fine. Well then why are we then deciding that? Okay, great. But you are going to sit right there while we elevate on this platform this particular set of a group that doesn't make any sense. Again, it's hypocritical to keep assigning this kind of crap to certain sections of people.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Well, if you're a missing or murdered indigenous woman, I think support should go to you. Find you, who killed you, what happened, what's going on. That's an incredibly scary thing, right? By the way, you don't just need to be indigenous. You could just be any missing or murdered woman. That's a big deal, right? And I just don't get how these things are together. I'm gonna digress slightly before you do a commercial, because I know you're great at this. I saw a video of someone at a pride march interviewing people about abortion, right? And it was this group, this MMIWG2SLGBTQIA group. And they said, hey, do you think abortion should be legal? And these two homosexual men were saying, absolutely, it should be 100% legal. I just don't know why anybody's involved in is just exactly what they'd say. And maybe I agree with them, right? I don't even know the answer to that problem. But then the commenter, the interviewer said, if there was a way to identify if a baby before they were born was gay and we could tell 100% without a doubt that that baby was genetically gay, would you still be fine with aborting that baby? And they instantly, these two guys said, well, no, you surely can't abort gay babies. They're like, wait, you just said you can abort babies for any reason at any time, no matter what, but if the baby is proved to be gay in utero, you 100% can't. It's like, well, it doesn't work that way. You can't have both sides of an issue.

[Chris Reivers]

You know, Mike, you've been with me for a long time, and you know a lot about me that I don't share publicly. And I. I made the decision about, I don't know, six months to a year ago that I've adopted the Keanu Reeves philosophy of life. Do you know what that is?

[Mike Fratelloni]

I think you talked about this. What is it?

[Chris Reivers]

The Keanu Reeves philosophy of life is when you're trying to deal with someone that's irrational and you're trying to deal with someone that you're basically arguing with a head of lettuce, that two plus two is green. I just look at that individual and just say, okay, good luck to you. Have a great day.

[Mike Fratelloni]

God bless you. God bless you. Well, before we go to commercials.

[Chris Reivers]

And that's basically What I my response to that kind of logic, it's like,

[Mike Fratelloni]

okay, I want to make it clear you and I love everybody. Of course we don't care what you do. So if you're MMIWG2S LGBTQIA, go for it. Be careful if you're going to a bathhouse in Minneapolis because they're going to be brand new.

[Chris Reivers]

Be careful parking in your car in the street.

[Mike Fratelloni]

When you told me about bath houses the other day, I thought, I'm in. I like a good Schwitz, right? You go there, some guy beats you with some sticks, like on your back, like with, you know, some fresh herb on your back. And I was like, I want that. I didn't know that they were talking about sex clubs in Minneapolis. You know what that is? That's nuts.

[Chris Reivers]

We are nuts.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Is that what you were doing? We are nuts.

[Chris Reivers]

We are nutsmn.com look at you transitioning in your broadcasting career. That's right. WeAreNutSMN.com, a wonderful family owned operation that's making quality handmade small batch snacks for all of us here in the great state of Minnesota and beyond, by the way. And you can get them at all of your Fred Ohlone's hardware and garden stores locations, Mac's Hardware, Cub Foods, Lunds and Byerlys, Kowalski's Markets. Colburn's now is carrying them along with county market and also 700 different quick trip locations. I actually have a great photo. I was at the Coburn's the other day and I bought because it was my dad's birthday this week and he loves the maple bourbon toffee almonds. So I've created. I'm kind of his pusher, so I'm his crack addict now. So I bought him three jars of the maple bourbon toffee almonds and they're all gone. I literally bought them Tuesday and they are all gone. So I'm going to have to make a stop probably at Coburn's again later today anyway. But it's a wonderful. So you can see all the selections yourself. By the way, go to wearenutsmn.com and on that website you can also place your order if you're not able to make it to any one of those locations and help support our friends at wearenuts and wearenutsmn.com and when you place an order, let them know that you heard about them on the weekly scramble podcast. We will be right back.

[Mike Fratelloni]

I'm Kiana and I leveled up my business with Shopify once I figured out that Shopify was a thing. I never turned back. I can create a site with my eyes closed.

[Chris Reivers]

Shopify thinks ahead of us, you know,

[Mike Fratelloni]

and it thinks about the customer more than anything. Every day I'm thinking about some other

[Chris Reivers]

new business, but Shopify is doing it

[Mike Fratelloni]

to me because it's so easy to use. It's like I can't stop.

I can't stop thinking about what you just said at the end of the other segment about this notion that we're supposed to be all inclusive, we're supposed to be all inviting and we're supposed. Because I was at. I'm going to try to be very careful with this. I was at something that was. I was at an event for a friend of mine and this was maybe a month ago, six weeks ago. And I literally just asked a very basic question about, well, doesn't that exclude something? And you should have seen the vitriol. Well, no, I literally just asked, well, doesn't that then in theory exclude someone from that line of thinking? And that's the part that bothers me is it's not that we want to welcome everyone, it's the notion that how dare you object to our narrow minded thinking. Does that make sense?

[Mike Fratelloni]

Sure, sure.

[Chris Reivers]

And I'm saying, well, isn't that the exact.

[Mike Fratelloni]

I don't think it's narrow minded thinking.

[Chris Reivers]

Yeah, of course they don't. And that's why it makes me laugh when you see these man on the street videos and when logic and reasoning is being pointed out, you're all of a sudden the bad guy or you're all of a sudden threatening in some way to which I say, huh, I just asked a basic question.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Sure.

[Chris Reivers]

I think I find that hilarious.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Well, that's the world today. I had a haircut. If you're watching this on YouTube, I look like a little, don't I? You really look at it. I have this part that's really good. She did a nice job. Her name was Nikki. She was an African American gal. Right. And I go to one of these cheap haircut places. I'm like a cheap. I don't really care about my hair. It's cheap. Haircut's fine with me. And we were talking about our show. Not necessarily the fact that we had a podcast, but the topics of our show, our last show, the taxes that are going to be raised in the state of Minnesota for uber wealthy and in Minneapolis specifically. And again, she was an African American gal and she was railing on taxation.

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, sure.

[Mike Fratelloni]

And I said, kind of laughing. I said, well, how long have you been a Republican? She goes, oh, I am not a Republican. I said, oh, yes, you are.

[Chris Reivers]

You will be soon.

[Mike Fratelloni]

I mean, 100%. And she said something really interesting. She said, no, no, no, no, no. This is how I grew up. My family's always been that. We're in investments. She had a great background, a great pedigree. And she said, I didn't grow up poor, so I know what taxes are. I thought, oh, what an interesting thing for someone to say. Right? And I'm sure she does fine. And she's married to somebody who they do fine as a couple. She's a hairstylist. I don't know. I'm sure they do fine. Right. At a cheap hair place. Right? And I thought, oh, isn't that interesting that she really jumped on the fact that. Whoa, whoa, whoa, do not call me a Republican. She didn't say that. But she said, I'm not a Republican. I'm like, the hell you are not. You are 100% conservative at least, Right? You might not have voted for Trump. I totally get that. But you are on the right side of the center of many topics, especially taxation and what we're doing in the state of Minnesota.

[Chris Reivers]

It was really interesting the other day. I was filling out my stuff. This is a while ago. And my son was watching me fill out my stuff for Linda Keller.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Right?

[Chris Reivers]

So I go, he's like, well, what are you doing? I said, well, I'm preparing my taxes to send these into Linda. And he's like, okay, well, my 14 year old sharp kid. He's like, well, I know what they are, but what does that mean? So I quite literally took out one of the legal notepads and broke it down for me. I said, well, here's how it works. Here's what dad made for 20, 25. He goes, oh, okay. I said, oh, but wait, there's more. And I said, see this number right here? This is what the state took for my money. He goes, oh. I said, and see this number right here? That's what the federal government took from my money. He goes, what? And then I said, and see this here? This is for Social Security, blah, blah, blah. And he goes, well, why do they get to take all that?

[Mike Fratelloni]

I said, great question.

[Chris Reivers]

Welcome to this country, buddy. I said, you'll find that out soon enough. And I said, so from a percentage standpoint, this is kind of basically what you get to take home. And then if you buy a house and you sell that house, you know, you got to pay. If you buy a house, you got to pay property taxes on that said investment above all. So I was kind of breaking this down, and he just kind of looked at me like, well, I'm just gonna live with you then for the rest of my life. Basically gave me the lookup.

[Mike Fratelloni]

He gave up.

[Chris Reivers]

I ain't doing any of that crap.

[Mike Fratelloni]

You know, what you got to do is you gotta get your kids really, really hungry, right? And you say, boys, you want pizza? Yes, I absolutely want a pizza. And you go get this big cheese pizza, right? And then you take half the pizza and whip it onto the floor and say, that's the tax.

[Chris Reivers]

Yep. That's the government's pizza.

[Mike Fratelloni]

That's the government's pizza. We can't eat that. And, oh, by the way, if we don't give the government that, we go to jail. And have them say, well, that doesn't leave me a lot. And have them be a little hungry and say, yes. And every time they get an ice cream cone and the first bite is the best one, you grab it and just take a bite out of it and say, that's the. That's taxes. And make them say, holy crap, someone's at risk. I'm at risk of having half my stuff go away at any one time because the government takes roughly half, right? In the state of Minnesota. And that's a good visual for kids. You gotta get them real hungry, though. Real. Or wait, every October 31st, let them go collect all that candy and just grab half of it and say, sorry.

[Chris Reivers]

So here's your pile. And here is the government's pile.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Here's the government's pile, okay? In fact, let's think about. This is the next quiz for you Reavers, all right? I want you to realize how rich Americans are, okay, compared to the rest of the world.

[Chris Reivers]

The general public, the populace of the

[Mike Fratelloni]

country, America versus the rest of the world.

[Chris Reivers]

Got it?

[Mike Fratelloni]

Actually, really, it's just the number versus the rest of the world, okay? If you have a net worth, meaning all of your assets, your home, everything, minus your liabilities. If your net worth is $500,000, what percentile, what percentage does that put you in the world?

[Chris Reivers]

Boy. Well, I know we're a very prosperous

[Mike Fratelloni]

nation, but just anybody across the world, if you have 500,000 bucks and you're in China and you have $500,000 net

[Chris Reivers]

worth, and that's kind of where I was going. I was thinking, okay, how do we relate to China? But then I was thinking, okay, well, there's also people. As Joe always says, half the world still poops outside.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Yeah, that's a big problem.

[Chris Reivers]

I'm gonna say we're up there. I'm gonna say we're probably in the top 15, maybe 20%. 15, 20%.

[Mike Fratelloni]

$500,000. Not if you make. If you have a net worth of $500,000 or more anywhere in the world. Anywhere in the world, you're in the 99th percentile.

[Chris Reivers]

Holy crap.

[Mike Fratelloni]

You are in the top 1%. 99 people out of 100 may have less than you in the whole world. So if you're in England, you're in Bangladesh, wherever, but you have a net worth of $500,000. If you drop your net worth to $100,000, what percentage are you? What is your percentile?

[Chris Reivers]

You're flooring me with these stats.

[Mike Fratelloni]

So I'm gonna guess 500,000 bucks is a lot of money, sure. Right. But that's a home. That's a home. It's a paid for home, right? 401k, all that stuff. Exactly.

[Chris Reivers]

I'm gonna guess 100,000. You gotta be in the top 40%.

[Mike Fratelloni]

You are in the top 92%.

[Chris Reivers]

Are you freaking kidding me?

[Mike Fratelloni]

You're in the top. You are in the top. Only you and 8% of people, you're in 92%. 92 people out of 100 are poorer than you.

[Chris Reivers]

So do you have the whole list in front of you?

[Mike Fratelloni]

Yes. So we're going to go down.

[Chris Reivers]

Here's my follow up then. Let's say you have 100 bucks to your name.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Just wait, we'll get there.

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, my God.

[Mike Fratelloni]

So if you have $50,000 in net worth, what percentile are you?

[Chris Reivers]

85?

[Mike Fratelloni]

87%. So you are richer than 87% of the world's population if you have a net worth of $50,000. That's why other countries look at us and say we're a rich country, because we have a lot of people, which

[Chris Reivers]

is why they hate $50,000.

[Mike Fratelloni]

If you have 10,000 bucks to your name, if your net worth is $10,000. 75%, 68% of the world. You're richer than 68% of the world. Okay, Very specific number. You'll get this. If you have $4,210 in net worth,

[Chris Reivers]

I'm going to need all that.

[Mike Fratelloni]

I'm going to need all that.

[Chris Reivers]

50%.

[Mike Fratelloni]

50%.

[Chris Reivers]

Wow.

[Mike Fratelloni]

You are richer than half the world and poorer than half the world.

[Chris Reivers]

And repeat that figure.

[Mike Fratelloni]

4200.

[Chris Reivers]

Holy crap.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Isn't that interesting? I found that really, really interesting. If you have a net worth, meaning you could go get 4,000. Well, not. He could go get $4,210, but you've got net worth. Your assets are above Your liabilities by $4,210 anywhere in the world. You are right in the middle. You are the median income. So half the world is richer than you and half the world is poorer. But if you have 500 grand, which 500 grand is a lot, right? I get. That's a lot to be free and clear of. Your net worth is 500. You are in the top 1% of the world's wealth. That is really interesting to me.

[Chris Reivers]

That's wild.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Isn't that weird?

[Chris Reivers]

Holy cow.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Isn't that weird? No wonder. You know, and you know, you know some people, right? There's. You can get to 500,000 bucks in America. Sure, right? You own a home, you pay off that home in 30 years. You have a good job, you have a 401k. A lot of people have a net worth of $500,000 in America, and they're richer than 99% of the world.

[Chris Reivers]

You know how you can increase the value of that home?

[Mike Fratelloni]

Do some tax savings.

[Chris Reivers]

Quicklinksgolf.com Quicklinksgolf.com is that website to get that Awesome. I got to tell you, go to the website quicklinksgolf.com and you can book your consultation, your free consultation online, by the way. But you can also see a lot of very, very, very cool past projects that they have worked on. And here's the deal, ladies and gentlemen. I actually got a couple of emails in the last couple of days about these guys, and they work with all different price points. It doesn't matter if you're a super wealthy, if you're in the top 99% or maybe you're in the top or the bottom, it doesn't matter. They're going to be able to work with each and every single one of you, whether it's your home, whether it's your office, or wherever you want to put up a simulated golf project for you. They're going to be able to work with you. Oh, man. That's right. It's Masters week. I forgot about that.

[Mike Fratelloni]

What you do next year, you call these guys today, you plan your master's party. What do they call that when you get your thing cut?

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, your vasectomy.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Vasectomy, okay. Because you plan that for the week of the Masters, right? So you're at home, you take that week off, you have your vasectomy, let's say, on a Monday. You hopefully everything goes well, right? They start construction on that Monday. You're home there just with a thing of peas on your unit, your swimsuit area. All of a sudden, the Masters kicks in. They're done. And now you are watching the Masters and able to hit golf balls. It's a perfect. You know that the Masters and vasectomies correlate NCAA basketball.

[Chris Reivers]

Like this time of the year, people just want to stay home and watch sports.

[Mike Fratelloni]

That is the plan.

[Chris Reivers]

Okay.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Get it on the books for 2027.

[Chris Reivers]

I can imagine people would take advantage of that.

[Mike Fratelloni]

I wonder if they'll ever advertise with us again.

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, I'm sure they will. But you got to go to quicklinksgolf.com, book your appointment. And they're a local company based out of Chaska, Minnesota. And I guess make sure you mention that you heard about him on the weekly script. Maybe not this ad with Reavers and Fredaloni. It's quicklinksgolf.com we will be right back. I told you earlier today that I had a declaration to make. And I know we don't dive into sports a whole lot on this show. I have a declaration to make.

[Mike Fratelloni]

I know what it's going to be

[Chris Reivers]

and it's because everyone has been down upon the local nine and I am one of them. By the way, again, I'm on record. I said last year when they basically blew up the franchise and sold off every piece. In fact, I'm going to give him a shout out. My main man, my twins beat writer is my shortstop, Joe Grody for the Fur Bowl Lakers. He's my guy. By the way, if you are in the mood for some beef, Big Woods. Beef. Big woods is his company. Anyway, I digress.

[Mike Fratelloni]

So he's a beat writer. No, wait, he totally.

[Chris Reivers]

He follows the twins more closely than metaphorically.

[Mike Fratelloni]

You're Beatrix.

[Chris Reivers]

Anybody else in this town?

[Mike Fratelloni]

He's packet sausage or whatever.

[Chris Reivers]

Well, he is a butcher. No, he's a third generation farmer down In Kenya, Minnesota. He's my guy. And so he and I always have to talk about the Twins because we want to know what's going on. So if I need to know who the. The double A shortstop coming up for the Twinses, I call Joe.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Sure.

[Chris Reivers]

That's. He's my guy. Right. And I. I love the twins. I love.

[Mike Fratelloni]

It's weird that someone would know more about the twins than you because you're kind of a geek.

[Chris Reivers]

But I'm telling you, this guy, really my guy Joe, knows infinitely more about the twins.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Does he advertise on our show? Because maybe we could advertise and do sports sections.

[Chris Reivers]

Probably should.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Okay.

[Chris Reivers]

By the way, Grody Beef. He rebranded Big Woods Beef. I think it's Big woods be. Anyway. What? It doesn't matter. No, I digress. People are down on the Twins and I think we. I brought up on the other show about the. They tried to do this Sunday Night Football intro with the players, and they did the drone footage of the crowd at the Tiger game. And there was maybe 2,000 people at that game. The Minnesota Twins are going to make the playoffs this year.

[Mike Fratelloni]

You are the second person in two days that told me that. My uncle Doug, big fan of the show, frat pack member said, we have pitching. We have a bit of a bullpen.

[Chris Reivers]

Here's why.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Go ahead.

[Chris Reivers]

Their pitching staff, I think, is good enough. But what you have to equate in sports is this professional sports, no matter what it is, football, hockey, basketball, baseball, whatever. Sports, especially over the duration of a long season, which is what baseball is. It's a haul.

[Mike Fratelloni]

It's a haul.

[Chris Reivers]

What you need is enthusiastic players that are trying to prove something. It's case in point with the 1987 team. That's exactly what those guys were. It was unexpected success and a bunch of guys trying to prove themselves. And it was a holy crap, we just made the playoffs and then, holy crap, we just won the World Series. Tom Kelly has said it as much with Patrick a million times. We didn't even think we were going to be that good. The 91 team, they were in last place the year before. And again, are they going to win the World Series? Of course not. They're not going to win the World Series. But they're that kind of team where no one expected s out of this group. Right. But they've got some pieces that are like, okay, that guy's pretty good. He's trying to prove himself. That guy's pretty good. He's trying to prove himself. Because the goal of and again, whether this is a positive or the goal of all these guys is what they're trying to get paid.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Sure.

[Chris Reivers]

Right. And when you have a collective mindset of no one really thought we were any good. Well, let's rally around it. The entire movie of Major League is based upon that thing where no one Hollywood movie. Right. But that mindset is very, very true about no one's believing in us. And this is very true.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Did you sweep the Tigers four games? So we swept the Tigers. And because we won four games, you think we're going to go to the playoffs.

[Chris Reivers]

It's also that I think they have. Because they've been kind of crappy and with that massive sell off they had last year, they have really infused a lot of good, unproven young talent.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Sure.

[Chris Reivers]

In this organization, but noticeably.

[Mike Fratelloni]

You said unproven. Sometimes unproven young talent is because they don't have the talent and they won't be able to. I don't know.

[Chris Reivers]

But I think when you remove. And I'm not going to name any players, I've just heard some things. When you remove people from the organization that are not, quote, unquote, all in, that are kind of in it for selfish reasons, who might be playing shortstop for the Astros right now, that's the. When you remove those kinds of people and you replace them with guys that are truly buying in, and when you have a new voice and a manager and all that stuff, when it all kind of adds together, it's almost like one of those, well, why not? Let's just. Let's just. And again, I just think. I think they'll make. They'll find a way. Now that there's seven teams that make the playoffs in the American, the National League, I think they'll find a way.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Okay, so I'm going to start right in this. Now, Twins make playoffs. How many games do they win?

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, that.

[Mike Fratelloni]

I mean, are they going to win 89?

[Chris Reivers]

No, they won't win 89, but I could see them winning like 85 games

[Mike Fratelloni]

and finding 89 is not that different than 85.

[Chris Reivers]

Well, here's. Because here's the thing. You just have to. As long as you stay above.500. Meaning. Meaning you win more games than you lose. As long as you can stay above.500, you're going to be in the mix. You were literally going to be in the mix. And the thing is, the Tigers have a good team. The Tigers were a playoff team last year that won a series. In fact, they are on the brink of winning two series they have the reigning two time Cy Young Award winner in the American League and the Twins pummeled him on. Was it Monday night or Tuesday? I can't remember which night it was. I'm just saying I want. And I also selfishly want to remain optimistic because when the Twins are good, it's fun, it's a better summer. It's more fun to be at the ballpark.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Well, I've heard this a couple of times. I'm almost on board. But then I have to go back to what I remember about every single sports team minus two events in the history of Minnesota. We did it twice, excluding female basketball, right? We'd done it twice. It's hard to get me on this bandwagon. I do think it's a big deal starting out strong, right? You're carrying four games of win in, right? You're starting on the plus side in a big way. So let's see. I hope you're right, Reavers. I hope you're right.

[Chris Reivers]

And this is also, I should add a caveat, not that I'm trying to give myself an out. This is also saying that if the, if most of this young talent can stay healthy, and that's the thing, younger talent tends to stay healthier than older talent does. Right? I mean, look at, they lost their best pitcher in Pablo Lopez for the season. But if you can have some of these younger guys, like the kid they had pitching last night is one of the guys they got from the Phillies. He threw a freaking. He had one run in what, seven? I just, I'm just saying they have a lot of really good young pitching and that's the key to winning.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Who should I be looking at, like as a layman fan of the Twins? Meaning I don't know anything. What name should I be paying attention to?

[Chris Reivers]

Taj Bradley will be an all star for the.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Taj Bradley. How old is Taj Bradley?

[Chris Reivers]

He's gotta be in his early 20s. He's the guy they got from the Tampa Bay Rays for Griffin Jacks.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Why did they get rid of Taj?

[Chris Reivers]

Cause Griffin Jacks wanted a trade in Tampa Bay. And Griffin Jacks is a very good relief pitcher. And Tampa Bay was willing to part with a young former top prospect to be able to acquire said relief pitcher.

[Mike Fratelloni]

And in St. Paul right now, don't we have a couple of stud pitchers waiting?

[Chris Reivers]

I will also add this. If you are going to boycott the Poled and the Twins and all that stuff, which I again, I don't boycott anybody. Well, no, but I don't blame you.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Sure.

[Chris Reivers]

I don't blame you for that. The St. Paul roster and lineup is freaking loaded like that. And that's the other thing. They have, I think, three on the St. Paul team. They have three of the top 20 prospects in all of baseball.

[Mike Fratelloni]

So what? Why don't we pull them up to the Twins? Are we seasoning them? Are we?

[Chris Reivers]

Yeah, they probably need some more time. But that's just it. There is. I think if fans give this new collection a chance, they're going to have some pretty good success in the very near future.

[Mike Fratelloni]

So do me a favor, Frat packers go onto our website. So we have this Facebook page. If you want to be part of it, just find me on social media. Mike Fradaloni. I'll invite you to the frat pack. Go on there and I'll put your projection of 85 wins making it to the playoffs on there. I'll make this post and then I need to have as many people as possible. I'm gonna get ripped because I want to. I want them to put their guesses in there and then I'm gonna give a prize, maybe a trophy to whoever's closest.

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, I like that. I like that.

[Mike Fratelloni]

So that would be kind of fun. So it's gonna be a year long. Look at the Twins. I'll have to pay attention. I'll make a little trophy for this.

[Chris Reivers]

You're a baseball fan. You like the Twins.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Do I? You know, I like every sport.

[Chris Reivers]

I hear you on the ads.

[Mike Fratelloni]

I am also a busy person.

[Chris Reivers]

I know you are.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Right. So I don't get to, I don't get to do it. But I, you know, nothing's better than going to a Twins game on a perfect day. And what was that bar called? Herbeck's Bar.

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, yeah.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Going back to Herbeck's Bar, paying zero attention to the game whatsoever, having some fourteen dollar drinks back there, thinking, crap, where did I park my car? And just ubering home and then hopefully finding your car the next day. Nothing beats that.

[Chris Reivers]

And see, here's what I also have to do. I have to find my way to get some cheap Champions Club tickets before they start to get good and people get re engaged again. That's what I got.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Didn't a pole ad sit behind home plate last night and someone was giving them a little bit of a hard time?

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, I don't know.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Yeah, one of the poll ads.

[Chris Reivers]

Well, wasn't yesterday a day game?

[Mike Fratelloni]

Yes.

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, okay.

[Mike Fratelloni]

I saw it on video.

[Chris Reivers]

Okay, gotcha.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Where? There was some pole ads sitting directly behind Home plate, empty seats, right? And some people were giving them a little what for. Like, hey, if you spent a little money, hey, take off your sport coat. If you wouldn't wear a sport coat, maybe you'd be one of us. It wasn't that kind of thing, but okay. Reavers. I'm very excited about that. Again, find Michael Fratelloni. It's Michael Fratelloni on Facebook. Ask me to become a friend, because we have this Facebook group called the frat pack 5000. We haven't talked about it for a while.

[Chris Reivers]

Yes, you're right.

[Mike Fratelloni]

It's a great group of people. A great group to put up your vacation. If you're going to the Twins game, let us know what restaurants you're going to. I'm gonna tie that frat pack into a lot of what I'm doing at work with the find it at frats thing where I'm giving away money. Okay, here, I gotta ask you this, and you tell me if this is a good idea, and maybe frat packers and listeners can tell me about this. I'm gonna start carrying around gift cards in my pocket, right? So if you see me out somewhere or in the store and you say, hey, I found it at frats, or find it at frats, I'm gonna take a picture with you. Like, hey, we're gonna take a picture. I'm gonna put it on social media, but I'm gonna give you a gift card. Oh, nice. And the gift card's gonna be anywhere from five dollars to a thousand bucks.

[Chris Reivers]

Are you kidding me?

[Mike Fratelloni]

No. Of gift card. Right, of fratolone's gift card. Wow. So $5 to $1,000 of gift. Obviously, we're gonna have more $5 gift cards than thousand dollar gift cards.

[Chris Reivers]

What I should just do then is follow you around. And that way, when I pull that thousand dollar gift card, I'm gonna buy

[Mike Fratelloni]

myself another dumb idea.

[Chris Reivers]

That's a brilliant idea.

[Mike Fratelloni]

So no matter where I am, minus the bathroom, minus my home, don't come to my home. Don't follow me into the bathroom. But if you see me out somewhere, because people have seen me on our ads, they definitely. If you follow us on social media, you see it the find it at frats. If you see me and you say, hey, I find it at frats, to me, all you have to say is that, I'm gonna take a picture with you. Like a little selfie, put my arm around you or something, right? Not creepy. Don't be creepy. And then I'm gonna give you a gift card and the gift card's gonna be a value of five dollars to a thousand dollars. Someplace in between obvious reavers, there's gonna be way more five dollar gift cards then thousand dollar gift cards. But somebody this summer is gonna win $1,000 gift card. If they come up to me. I think if at the fair, I think you and I walking around. Oh yeah, I think frat packers coming places, I just want to give them out to everybody. But I need to get a picture with them because that's. We want to just crank our social media. I'm so excited about that. I did hear some bad news. I don't know if you heard that.

[Chris Reivers]

Oh no.

[Mike Fratelloni]

The Chinese inventor of the camera lenses died.

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, no.

[Mike Fratelloni]

It was very, very sad. But rest in peace, Mr. Zoom in. Mr. Zoomin. Mr. Zhou Min. That was the best joke I've ever told. A Chinese inventor of the camera lens and his name was Zhu Min.

[Chris Reivers]

I got you.

[Mike Fratelloni]

I didn't think you got it.

[Mike Fratelloni]

I wore my quarter zip that they gave me. Yeah, that beautiful quarter zip. Yeah, it was an extra large.

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, it's too big for you Extra large.

[Mike Fratelloni]

I'm a perfect medium. I thought you got me a medium.

[Chris Reivers]

I thought I did, too.

[Mike Fratelloni]

And then I tried it on and I felt like I was wearing my dad's pajamas or something. I was like, and it's such a great quality quarter zip.

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, it's an awesome shirt.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Yeah. Bilski knows how to make a great quarter zip shirt.

[Chris Reivers]

He really does.

[Mike Fratelloni]

If he's equally good at banking as he is at designing quarter zips, it's the bank to go to.

[Chris Reivers]

So you're saying he just needs to readjust that size? I don't need that much money, Mike.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Yeah, that's exactly right. Reivers, you're the best.

[Chris Reivers]
