The Main Event: SpaceX IPO Discussion (40:03–43:49)

[40:11]
Mike launches into a detailed summary of the upcoming SpaceX IPO:

• SpaceX is offering an IPO on June 12 at $135/share—biggest IPO in history, $74.4 billion worth, valuing the company at $1.7 trillion.
• Unusually, Elon Musk is allowing all retail investors to buy in directly, not just big institutional investors.

[C]

This is the weekly scramble. A place where we chat about life over a cold one or two. It's time to belly up to the pod with Mike Fratelloni and your host, Chris Reivers.

[B]

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.

[C]

How you doing, Reivers?

[B]

I am doing fan freaking tastic, that's how I'm doing. So we had talked about a number of different things last week and there was something I wanted to bring up with you because it came from an emailer and I thought this was really, really good. The emailer's name is Lloyd. Hello, Lloyd.

[C]

Hello, Lloyd Reivers.

[B]

I loved you and Mike's discussion and your rant about Timmy, meaning Governor Tim Walz.

[C]

Good.

[B]

And I couldn't agree more. This is talking about our Memorial Day soliloquy that we did that Tuesday following that. So let me start this about Tim Walsh and I couldn't agree more. My dad and former father in law both served in World War II, or should I say World War 11? Which by the way, that was brilliant that you brought that up.

[C]

So great.

[B]

One of my sons served in Iraq, two nephews in Afghanistan. Several brother in laws were also in the military. What a slap in the face and an insult for that jackass to go to a memorial of a deadbeat criminal drug addict instead of honoring our fallen veterans. Walls is truly a Lloyd I love your enthusiasm. I can't read the rest of that sentence. Let me move on. I also truly enjoyed your backstory on the movie Tombstone. My favorite movie of all time. What am I too, Lloyd? Probably watch it once a year. Checked off a bucket list item when I was in Arizona and went down to Tombstone. Oh, my God, am I jealous. And while there, we watched the rec of the OK Corral shootout. It was awesome. Came back with a T shirt with a picture of the real Doc Holliday, a pair of six shooters, and the immortal words, I'm your huckleberry. Val Kilmer turned in one of the greatest acting jobs ever by anyone. It's such a great movie, but he made it legendary. I never miss a Gl or a weekly scramble show ever when I'm on vacation. Please keep up the good work. Sincerely, Lloyd. Lloyd, you kick ass.

[C]

Thank you for that. Easy. Frat packer.

[B]

Well, I'm gonna guess he didn't mention it. Well, Lloyd, here's the deal.

[C]

You better become a frat packer.

[B]

I love the email. I love the dedication of both shows. You better become a frat packer. Then Mike will give you a number.

[C]

Exactly.

[B]

But I.

[C]

Something was interesting on that. I just have to say one thing. So I have daughters, and if my daughter said, hey, I have this new boyfriend. And I'd say, oh, what is he? What does he do? He's a OK Corral reenactor. Wait, what? I mean, do you think that's a. Is that a paid job? You know, they say AI is gonna take everything I gotta look. Probably gonna take that job. Even AI Some robots gonna say, no, thank you. I don't want to be a. Okay. Corral reenactor.

[B]

AI Robot.

[C]

Talk like it was kind of. I had an Asian accent in there, but I was trying to do robot. And just think, there's some guy who maybe has children. So he's seen a girl naked, at least from the waist down.

[B]

Do you know where Tombstone is, by the way?

[C]

I. Tombstone, Arizona.

[B]

I knew it was in Arizona.

[C]

I don't know.

[B]

I did not realize how close to the border of Mexico it actually is. It's so. It would be. I'm trying to ballpark this.

[C]

Just buy Mexico.

[B]

It's southeast of Tucson. I would say that's got to be heavy. Having funky many dumb, dumb runs. Yeah, this has got to be a two, if not three hour drive from Tucson.

[C]

Too bad you don't have something that's exactly two inches that you could hold up against that to know how far.

[B]

All right. Smart ass. Two. Tucson. Az.

[C]

Do we care?

[B]

I don't know. Oh, I was way wrong. Okay. It's only one hour and 16 minutes.

[C]

Oh, that's not bad.

[B]

Well, that's not bad at all.

[C]

No, I mean. So you go there.

[B]

I do that on my commute.

[C]

Yeah. And you become a OK Corral reenactor.

[B]

Have you ever been. You ever been to Tombstone?

[C]

No.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

No.

[B]

You have no desire. You're not an Arizona guy.

[C]

You're a Florida. I like Arizona. I really enjoy Arizona. Everything looks like dirt. Everything's dirt.

[B]

Is it because you want water?

[C]

I want, like, green foliage. Like when we're in Minnesota and everything's white because it's all covered with snow.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

When I get down to Florida and it's green and it smells lush and the moisture and my hair starts growing and my nails start growing and my beard starts growing. It's not dry like Arizona. Although someday I could totally envision being in Ariz.

[B]

I love Arizona. In fact, I do. I love Arizona. It's one of my spots.

[C]

One of my favorite places to some mountain in the background. They're like, that's something hill. And you're like, it looks like a dirt pile. Like, it just looks like a dirt pile.

[B]

I do remember one of the worst decisions I ever made. We were down there. This has got to be.

[C]

At least.

[B]

This is close to 10 years ago. And we were down there for a couple of days and of. Oh, that's when you gave me crap about going to the Arizona Fall League baseball game in November.

[C]

Yes. Yeah.

[B]

And you. You went to a baseball game in

[C]

November with your wife.

[B]

Two, no kids. Yes.

[C]

You could have been anything.

[B]

Anything else. Honey, let's go to a baseball game. I think the Giants are playing the. The Diamondback.

[C]

It's only going to be seven innings,

[B]

but I remember we went hiking in, you know, whatever rattlesnake infested area we were going in. And I wore white tennis shoes. Oh. And it was. They weren't. It wasn't like they were brand new, but they weren't old.

[C]

And I thought after Labor Day too.

[B]

And I went, well, this is. This isn't gonna work out very well. So those basically turn red. But I absolutely love that area.

[C]

Can you give me a sports update? Because I've been out of the loop for a little bit.

[B]

What do you want to know?

[C]

I was in Memphis this morning, right, for some meetings, and I pulled my car up, and the guy said, what'd you think of the game? And I said, I am so sorry. I Have no idea what you're talking about.

[B]

In Memphis, they said this or here?

[C]

No, in Memphis, they said that he was talking NBA basketball. And I said, I'm sorry, man. I have no idea who's playing.

[B]

Game 1 of the NBA Finals kicked off last night, and I made a bet. My son is a big NBA fan. He loves basketball. And so we've been betting on the series, and again, if I win, we just go double or nothing until he finally beats me. But we bet on. He wanted the Spurs. And I thought, well, OKC might win, but the Knicks beat them in Game 1. And I'm here to tell you something right now, because I told my son on our way back from baseball last night, he had a baseball game in St Patrick. The Irish got their first victory last night, so congratulations to them. I said. He asked me, well, because this was before game one or while game one kicked out, but we had no idea what was going on. I said, to be honest, buddy, this is going to sound weird. I'm silently rooting for the Knicks only because they haven't won it since 1973, and I love storylines with sports. And he said, well, he's a huge Wemby fan. And I said, yeah, but they're probably gonna win, like, 10 of the next 15 titles, so let's let the Knicks get one before Wemby takes over the entire sport. So that was kind of cool. In fact, here's the kind of dad I am with the inner circle of my buddy's friends. So his buddy Max and Max's little brother plays with my son Leland on an 11U baseball team. And we were talking NBA. I know. I'm trying to. And so I said, hey, we had bet on game seven of the Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs. And I said, what do you want to bet? He said, oh, I want a $25 PlayStation card. You know, those little cards you get for.

[C]

And what do you get?

[B]

I said, okay. Well, he goes, and you name it. I said, really? I said, well, I'm going to need a minute, because we were at a tournament last weekend. And so I reconvened with his stepbrother and my son. I said, okay, what are you going to do here? And his stepbrother said, max absolutely hates lasagna. I said, what do you mean? No? Like, if he knows it's cooking in

[C]

the house, he needs to eat something.

[B]

It will freak him out. Fair enough. So, Max, I got your trade or your bet proposal. I said, if the spurs win, I will give you a $25 PlayStation card. Oh, sweet. I go, if the Thunder win, you have to eat an entire tray. I said, not just a bite, the whole tray. And he goes, oh, no, dude, I'm out. I'm out, I'm out, I'm out.

[C]

Really?

[B]

And then, of course, for him, what does his stepbrother and his. My son do? Come on, you. You know what, whatever. And I said, hey, it's up to you. It's up to you. I mean, we can lower the standards a little bit because I don't give a. I'm not going to take 20 bucks from some 14 year old kid. I'm gonna do something weird.

[C]

Okay, so basketball. We know that happened.

[B]

Yes.

[C]

And then I heard through the grapevine that the Twins aren't doing so great. So the chances of them getting to where you think they're going to get. What were you saying? 80 wins? I had 69. Not because it was funny, but it was the number that I won.

[B]

They ended up losing two of three. They won the first two against the White Sox. They lost yesterday. They had a. They. They started out good on the road trip, then they didn't have.

[C]

Are they anywhere near 500?

[B]

No. God, no. There's like, I think five or six games under 500.

[C]

Well, that's not that far under 500.

[B]

Yeah, it just.

[C]

So what would they end if they continued on at this streak? They'd be in the six games.

[B]

No, I think they're on a 71 win.

[C]

I'm getting real close with my.

[B]

You're gonna probably be the one that

[C]

again on the frat pack, we have everybody putting their numbers in there. What, the Twins are gonna win. And then what was a trophy? Can't remember. I think it was gonna make everybody a trophy.

[B]

Is that what it was? Because I don't remember. I. I remember us talking about this, but I don't exactly remember.

[C]

Well, thank you for updating me on the sports because I've been. I was gone all week, right. Since Saturday. I was gone all week, had a really good time, did a lot of stuff, worked a lot. But I've been. Just haven't watched two seconds of tv, went to bed, like, kind of late,

[B]

I mean, granted it's been warmer, but having been this nice, basically since what, the day after Memorial Day? Because was Memorial Day kind of rainy? I can't remember. But basically since Memorial Day to now, it's been absolutely glorious.

[C]

I've been gone for like the last handful of days.

And I remember doing that event and getting there, and it was so cool. He couldn't have possibly been nicer. Such a great guy. And then he got. I'm not joking. So this was at. It was a wonderful ballroom downtown Minneapolis. And I don't think it's there anymore, but it was gorgeous. And we had a bunch of listeners. It was really cool. And you're seeing this guy. Here's how you know someone has talent and you do not. You watch this guy, he's just kind of hanging out. He's in, like, what you'd call the green area. He's just a regular dude standing there, and then he's having Some water. He's talking to some people. There was a bit of press there outside of the radio station people, and there was some meet and greets. So he took some photos. Like I said, he couldn't have been nicer. And then he just walks 50 yards, gets up on this stage on the piano and he just starts.

[C]

Just nails it.

[B]

And I'm thinking we aren't the same. Like, it's just incredible to watch somebody do something like that. So anyway, that was my Mark Cohn story.

[C]

I'm so glad you said that.

[B]

I'm sorry.

[C]

I'm sorry, I hate to give you some credit.

[B]

Give me the 5 second review of Memphis. Is it a place that I need to freak out?

[C]

You know, it's really funny. I really like Memphis, but I only stay where our office is down there.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

And it's in Germantown or Collierville, which is like being in a Dinah. So I'm like, well, well, yeah, it's really nice here.

[B]

Sure.

[C]

Like, it's a very, very clean, nice thing. I don't go into the city and see the problem areas.

[B]

Okay, gotcha.

[C]

But I spent a lot of time down in Ole Miss. I was down in Oxford because my daughter's going to Ole Miss. And we went down there and just walked around and let me tell you this brief story. So my daughter's going to Ole Miss

[B]

better than my Mark Con?

[C]

Probably not, but I'm telling it anyways. It's going to match it. So she is going to Ole Miss this next year. Everyone who listens to the show or watches it on YouTube knows that she's going to Ole Miss. And we're down there for orientation. So Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, orientation. And on Monday nights, some sorority girls, like, find people in orientation and say, hey, do you want to come hang out with us? Oh, wow, right? Because they're trying to, like, vet these girls for sororities. So I drop my daughter and her soon to be new roommate, this girl named Emily Bell, off to go meet these sorority girls. Drop them off at 8pm what time do you think they get home? Oh, boy, 7:30 the next morning. I was like, girls, like what? And she goes, my. My daughter looks at me because it was so much fun. Like, so much. She had such a great time. She said, I met a million girls like I just met. Like it was what sorority life is supposed to be. Where she's like, I just met 150 new friends. Right? But she was out all night long. And the best part about that whole thing is she got home at roughly 7:30. She had to be back to school for, you know, orientation at 8 o'. Clock. So she. There was no, like, I'm gonna go lay down for five hours.

[B]

Oh, no.

[C]

She just went and just kept going, right? And kept going the whole day. I was like, okay, I think you'll be able to do college. I think you'll. This won't, you know, knock you all the way down.

[B]

Hold on one second, let me just do something.

[C]

You're wondering what sorority you could join.

[B]

No, no, no, no. Here, let me just get my keyboard.

[C]

What's he doing here?

[B]

I don't know. Dear God, thank you very much for giving me two sons so that way I don't have to deal with other boys while my girls go off to college.

[C]

Nothing you can do about it. Nothing you can do about it. One of the funny things, we went into a bar there, right? So I was with my ex wife, my daughter and me, right? And we walked into this restaurant bar and the bouncer says, points to my daughter and says, how old are you? And she says, 18. And he says, okay, you can have beer, wine and seltzers. That's it. And I look and I said, did he just say, you can't have beer, wine and seltzers and that's it, or do you have to have a daiquiri? Like, I didn't understand what he said. But in Memphis or not Memphis, in Mississippi, if you're with your parents and you're over 18, you could drink in certain establishments. And my daughter's face kind of lights up like, I don't know, can I have a wife, dad?

[B]

You got an open tab.

[C]

Honest to God. And then I just thought, well, it's legal now. I. You really. I think I did not know that. Yeah, it's legal there. I think it's legal in Wisconsin too.

[B]

Is Texas somewhat similar?

[C]

It may be, you know, the. The places that have a lot of freedom. Right. Probably if she went into a bar in Minnesota where America's real, you gotta wait till you're 31 before you could do that here. But I thought that was kind of impressive. And I think there's. I don't want my daughter to drink. I'm gonna tell you that.

[B]

I don't want her to drink. Of course not. Right.

[C]

But I don't want her to get to college and that be her first drink.

[B]

You have the same philosophy that rookie does.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

Like, hey, if they're here, I can monitor it. I can tell them, hey, you've had too much. I totally get what you're saying.

[C]

See if they're having to want more than one or if they slow drink their first one, or if they order a pina colada with rum shooter. And I was like, whoa, wait, wait. How are you knowing that? So that was some of my experience down there. That place is unbelievable.

[B]

So what game are we going to? We have to figure that out.

[C]

I think I'm gonna join this little council that they have of parents, the Ole Miss University council. And then you get to pick a lot of games. So I'm one of those things. I gotta make sure my daughter loves the school because it's expensive to do, but if I do, if she does love the school and I love the school, I'll be going to a lot of games.

[B]

So. Okay, so now we gotta get our story straight. So I'm your big hitting oil executive friend that's in town. You could be mine to visit his niece.

[C]

La Casuala Falls. Or what was it called? The Robin Williams one with the gay one. Parakeet. Bird on a wire.

[B]

Birdcage.

[C]

Bird on a wire.

[B]

Bird on a wire.

[C]

Birdcage. Was it called birdcage?

[B]

Wasn't it called.

[C]

You'd be my paramore. I could call you my partner.

[B]

There we go.

[C]

Do they know that you'd be my partner on a podcast? You get in absolutely for free.

[B]

We are just.

[C]

Because what am I supposed to do? I can't bring my ex wife. My current wife doesn't want to go down there all the time. So I have to have. I have to like. I'm Eddie. Just tell everybody your dad's gay and we'll go together. Reavers. And I don't get any thoughts though.

[B]

We'll be freaking hysterical. Well, that's awesome. That's. It's gonna be fun. That's super cool. I'm super happy for her and for you. That's awesome.

[C]

I'm almost more happy for me. It's gonna be awesome. I really. I really like it down there. It's a cool looking place.

[B]

How's the. The mom situation with that parent group?

[C]

A lot of moms. A lot of rich looking moms down there.

[B]

Awesome.

[C]

It was really kind of fun.

[B]

I bet it was.

[C]

That's why my wife hates it when

[B]

I'm on this show. I know, I know. I'm sorry, Nicole. It's my fault. Hey, let's talk about our buddy Ben and Masters Maples and mastersmaples dot com. Oh, wait. I got some breaking news from Masters Maples. Are they gonna ship it That I don't know.

[C]

[B]

Yes. Let me just do this one really thing. So go online to mastersmaples.com and YouTube can taste the difference. The weekly scramble. We will be right back.

[C]

And Ben from Master Maples, I need to place an order because we're getting low, so call us.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

Because it's not on my top of my list, but I got to do it. People in the frat pack have been saying that Alexa is not playing Garage Logic or the Weekly Scramble. Do we have to do something?

[B]

What ends up happening? If you.

[C]

Krueger. Did he put it up?

[B]

Let's peel back the curtain just a little bit. What ends up happening is oftentimes people find either an app or a website or whatever they're using to listen to all of their favorite podcasts, whether it's a Hubbard, an Iheart, or whatever they're listening to. And so they'll find an app that they like to use for everything. And I totally get that. And sometimes what happens is when they're using that app. They think it's an error on our end. Well, I can only do what I'm required to do for post production purposes with both our show and also garagelogic. Whatever happens on whatever app you're listening to, I can't help what they're doing because sometimes we'll get hate mail. Why are they playing this ad? This is way above my pay grade. I can't control what Spotify or whatever these other places are, I can't control.

[C]

Let me do a test. So if you're listening to it on your phone and you're wondering why your smart device isn't working, I'm going to Count down to 3. Put your phone near the speaker. Let me try it.

[B]

Oh, God.

[C]

Alexa, play the Weekly Scramble with Chris Reivers and Mike Fratelloni there. If it worked, and if it worked for you now, then it's your voice. You can't tell what you're saying.

[B]

Can I tell you one thing?

[C]

I just turned it on.

[B]

And when we first started doing the Garage Logic as a podcast, the garagelogic show as a podcast, about two years in, I did that. I got more hate mail for doing basically the hey, Alexa. In the middle of the show. And I didn't realize. Just.

[C]

It is annoying.

[B]

I know it is, and I didn't realize what exactly?

[C]

Well, I was actually doing a legitimate test because if I tried it and it worked, then maybe they're mispronouncing the weekly scramble or something.

[B]

All right, I want to share you a story. We're going to stay in the world of sports for just a moment, so please indulge me, shall you? You know who Rob Gronkowski is?

[C]

I do.

[B]

So Gronk as he's. As he. Like, he's kind of the resident meathead, guys all the way to the bank, chugging beers and playing football. Right. And he's now, I believe, he's a Fox NFL commentator for Fox.

[C]

And he's pretty good at it.

[B]

I did not know anything about this story, okay, until this surfaced. I think this was yesterday, but Rob Gronkowski reveals how his first $50,000 from the NFL had him set for life.

[C]

Oh, what? Okay, let me guess, because I don't know this.

[B]

Just to point this out for context for people that aren't familiar with him. Won a couple Super Bowls of the Patriots, then went with Tom Brady to Tampa Bay, won a Super bowl there. He has two brothers, one I know for sure played in the NFL not very long, and another one that might have. So it's. They're kind of like three meatheads that play football. Right. That's their perception. And they still kind of are.

[C]

They're.

[B]

They were party boys when they first came in the league and that kind of thing.

[C]

And he's have invested in.

[B]

This is crazy. With the first $50,000, I was able to. Okay, so keep this in mind. This is all in quotations. This is how Rob presented this information to this particular reporter with the first. Should I read it like Rob?

[C]

Yeah. Okay, good try. Give it a shot.

[B]

With the first $50,000, I was able to, you know, purchase my first car. And then to be able to pay rent once I got to New England. I can't do it like that. I'm not gonna do that. Okay, so he bought a car and then from there on out, I really didn't need any other money. You know, I was getting free meals at the facility. I just lived off my marketing dollars. I was very frugal and that's how I, you know, got away with it. You know, not, you know, having any. Having any lavish purchases, you know, the first couple years in league and just banking away what I was making. Because I truly understood that the NFL, you know, they say that's what it stands for. It's not for long. NFL. I wanted to be set when I was done with my career as well. And I wanted to be set if I just played for, you know, three or four years.

[C]

Wow.

[B]

I was cool with making what I was going to make my rookie year, you know, with my rookie contract, if I play all four, and then if I put that in the bank and I just invested a little bit, I was like, hey, you know, I'm set for life anyway.

[C]

So he didn't buy any specific stuff.

[B]

Never bought anything. And I remember there was a story about him and I think, I hope I'm not confusing him with the Watt family that also had three brothers that played in the NFL. But they kind of all just lived together in some three bedroom apartment. And I think one of the brothers had a job. Right. So they're paying utilities and Rob was paying the rent and they just hung out and he did practice. And that's the thing I've never understood when you go to a facility, because I've seen it firsthand whether when you're a professional athlete, the meals are provided for you morning, noon and night.

[C]

Yeah, they need to put in the

[B]

best stuff because they want you to not only eat healthy, but they want you to be there to put in the work, whether it's Lifting weights, training, watching tape, whatever it is, they want you there. Exactly. Not being out and about and being in idiot. Because you are technically, you're an investment for the organization. And so I've always wanted to know, and I think you and I are kind of wired that same way. Like, why not take advantage of that?

[C]

Yeah, just do it. I mean, and when you're all in, in football, right, you're all in, you're just working out, you're just hanging out. All of that's dead though. Rob is probably a dying breed. You know why Reavers? Because Trinidad Chambliss, the quarterback to Ole Miss, is getting paid to 6 million bucks this year. I saw that. So he's not going to say, you know, now that I'm in The NFL making 3 million bucks, right. I'm going to go ahead and start living frugally.

[B]

Right.

[C]

Can you imagine that money?

[B]

Imagine being, imagine college player. Imagine being the quarterback at Ole Miss. You're fresh off the heels of playing for a national championship because they made it to the semifinal round.

[C]

They were just so close.

[B]

You are the return. Now, granted, you had to fight a legal battle with the NCAA to retain a year of elev eligibility. You are now a six million dollar quarterback at Ole Miss.

[C]

At Ole Miss. Do you run that school? Do you run that school?

[B]

My. I mean, basically, here's all you have to do because I would assume he's academically eligible for the fall.

[C]

Yeah, I don't know if they. I don't know if he has to. If he.

[B]

You don't even have to show up for class.

[C]

Well, he might even be done with school.

[B]

Oh, that's a good point.

[C]

Be a graduate and still have eligibility to play sports, which is really weird. So, you know, Reavers, that gives me some hope because you went to Mankato State.

[B]

That's right.

[C]

But you didn't play all four years of baseball.

[B]

Oh, God, no, no, no.

[C]

You still have eligibility. You could go back. Oh my gosh. Remember that movie Vision Quest where the guy just said, I'm gonna go fight this kid at a different weight?

[B]

Or rookie of the Year. Or the guy.

[C]

Kid, you could go back. You could Vision Quest this thing, go back, pitch a coup, have some Tommy John's, get paid a few hundred thousand for playing for. Maybe play for St. Thomas or something? A Division 1.

[B]

No, that's.

[C]

That okay. That would be pretty damn cool though.

[B]

That would be.

[C]

Stranger things have happened.

[B]

I remember there was a. There was one of those ESPN behind the scenes looks, you know, those Sunday Morning pieces that they run. And it was literally a guy who I believe he had served in the army and he got a job, got married, had a couple of kids, and I think he was even. And he might have even been a grandfather because he was about 50, late 50s years old.

[C]

Yeah, he came back and played, and

[B]

he came back to play Division 3 football because, you know, after high school he went to serve. He then came, worked in the corporate, whether it was the corporate world or whatever. Got married, had kids, did all that. And he was like, I just want to give it a shot. And he said, I don't want any special treatment. I want you to treat me like I'm a regular freshman. So there's video of him just hanging out and eating in the lunchroom with all the guys in the equipment room or in the training room getting taped up and all that stuff. He's like, I just wanted to know I could do it. And they said, are you getting any play time? He goes, oh, God, no. I mean, granted, I might go in for a play here or a play there at some small Division 3 school in some God knows where state.

[C]

The best part of that though is they're like, steve, can you go get us some beers? He's like, I can buy beer for the whole team.

[B]

What do you want, two 12s or are we gonna go three cases?

[C]

Natty lights. Natty lights.

[B]

We only got 11 bucks, by the way. Let's go back to the beer show days for a little bit. I'm gonna get on my pulpit here.

[C]

Oh, really?

[B]

I'm gonna get on my soapbox and I'm gonna preach to the masses. Can we please, please, please, please listen to Uncle Reivers who's had a beverage or two in his day. Can we stop with the apple?

[C]

Oh, yeah, you don't like the bush apple?

[B]

The bush, the bapples. Okay, you don't like that it took over the nation. Trust me, I'm around many a 20 year olds with town baseball. And it's for every two cases of Busch Light, it's a case of bush apple. So I get that, okay, I'm cool. But now, natural light came out with apple flavored beer.

[C]

Really?

[B]

Here's the thing, boys. If you want to have an apple beer, find a different drink because clearly you don't want to drink beer. And I had one, this was a while ago, but I had a bush apple and went, huh?

[C]

One is okay.

[B]

One is like, okay, if it's ice cold, like out of the cooler, it's really sweet. And It's a hot, hot summer day. Okay, I can have one of these. If I have three of those, I'm gonna have to have my stomach pump because of all that sugar that's in my gut right now. I can't do that.

[C]

I miss the. Would talk about beer and then a guy would come in from some brewery and say, I just invested 4 million bucks into a brewery and I think I'm going to do a bunch of business. Then we talked to him a year later and he's doing two times more business than he ever thought. That those were good days. The beer show days were good days.

[B]

That was fun. It was Thursday night and it was. We were the pre show to the weekend and all that stuff.

[C]

And then we had a bunch of samples. Right. I couldn't even drink them all. Couldn't even drink them all. We got so many samples. Those were good days. This is someone once said, wouldn't it be ashamed? I think it was maybe even a thing from TV like, wouldn't this be ashamed if we didn't know that today's actually going to be the good old days.

[B]

It's from the office.

[C]

From the office.

[B]

From the office. That's right.

[C]

And that was such a poignant thing. So I hate to pine for times of the past.

[B]

I do, though, often think, because I'll see stuff circulating on social media about all of the breweries that we once had really good connections with and thanks to our friends at Elevated Beer, Wine and Spirits that always put us in touch with all these people. And you always think about, gosh, I wonder how they're doing. Because for me personally, I'm running from work to that kid's game, to that kid's game, to let's eat dinner at 10:30. So for me, it's just, I don't have that right now because we're right in the thick of baseball season. So for me, I just don't really have a social life. Well, at all. But especially right now.

[C]

Bauhaus Brewing.

[B]

Yes. They just close.

[C]

Yeah. It's like, what?

[B]

Well, we were always asked this. I mean, we were always asked by people independently of either a guest or any type of connection to the industry, about when are we going to hit the saturation point? And I would always say, honestly, I don't know. But I can't imagine that many more places will be able to win. And it's multi layered with that because, number one, it's really hard to run a small business in Minnesota right now, especially in the Twin Cities. It really Is.

[C]

But baus. That was like the pinnacle. They're going to actually close in June. Let me give you the exact date because it would be a real cool thing. I think it's June 14th or something. But that's sad because they were studs. I mean, they have. Okay, I know followers on social media does not mean you're good or bad. Right. But they have 42,000 followers on Instagram.

[B]

They had huge events at their.

[C]

Huge events. Huge, huge events. That usually indicates that you have a ton of staying power. And maybe they did. Right. Maybe they did have a lot of staying power. But I hate to see them go away. Right. I hate to see any of our friends.

[B]

You know what it is too. I know why you hate that. You hate it. Yes. Because we have somewhat of a connection to them. But you hate it because that's also another layer of the fabric of the city.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

Right. Because. Well, what's going to replace it? Well, probably nothing. Nothing right now.

[C]

Nothing for a while.

[B]

You know, because that's the part that's always broke my heart about what I've seen over time here with what's happening, you know, more so with Minneapolis since I worked in the nightlife industry for so many years and now with just what we do as a show. So that's what's broke my heart is just seeing how it just doesn't have the same vibe to it. You know where I went to a Twins game the other night with my boys and it just didn't feel alive. There was no atmosphere. There was no anything to get into

[C]

the stadium and running once you get

[B]

out of the stadium.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Even just making the two block walk from Target Field to your car, it's just. There's no energy. There's just nothing.

[C]

And that's sad. I'm gonna tell you. Reverse. And I'm not wrong about this. Uptown is turning a corner.

[B]

I hope so.

[C]

It's not. It's not back to what it was. And it. And it's not full speed, you know, in fifth gear, turning the corner and revving down the road. But it's looking better, it's feeling better. Way more people are trying to get into our properties there. Right. I mean we're getting call. That's a real key indicator when people are calling us saying, hey, I want this piece of property.

[B]

What do you attribute it to?

[C]

I. I think they, they did a bunch of road work. Right. And I was against it. I was pissed. It's expensive. It hurt the store that we have there for a long time. Hurt our entire mal have there for a long time. And then now that it's done, it looks really good and it just cleaned up. It's. I don't want to say it's a solid done right. It's now, now it's great. They are going to start doing work on Lindale which will push more business over to Hennepin. And I'm on Hennepin, 28th and Hennepin and But it just, the vibe feels better there. It doesn't look as sketchy. It just. There's something about it that's turning and I'm hoping, hoping when you walk by an Apple store that's closed, right. And you think, okay, if Apple can't make it, Apple's the most successful retailer of all time. Did you know that?

[B]

I did that.

[C]

That buy square foot sales.

[B]

Big, big, big push from Mr. Money Talk on Apple all the time.

[C]

I mean it is crazy what they do in business by you know, we're really happy if our hardware store does 300 bucks a square foot. They're really happy if their stores do like 30 grand a square foot. I mean it's like totally, totally different. So they're the most successful of all time. And when that store and then Apple store closes like what the hell? What is going on? But now I can see people looking again and people wanting to be in our building for sure because we have a parking lot which wins the game when you're in uptown. And I think it's coming back. So I know the north loop is already back, right? It's great up there.

[B]

Sure.

[C]

And then you got Uptown's coming back. Maybe, maybe we can sandwich the city and bring it back.

[B]

Right? Let's talk about North American banking company quickly. It's banking done differently since 1998.

[C]

I need to go oversee in Bilski. I need to go get a loan. Oh, because I'm going to buy a bunch of SpaceX.

[B]

Really?

[C]

I am 100% going to buy a bunch of SpaceX. Do you know what's going on with SpaceX?

[B]

Tell me.

[C]

It's going to become an initial public offering. They're going to have an ipo, which not many companies have done in a long time. They're valuing shares at 135 bucks a share. It's an expensive share. They're going to sell 1.77 trillion. No, let me restate that. They're going to sell $74.4 billion worth of shares that will value the company at $1.7 trillion.

[B]

Really?

[C]

And they know that that's not a good PE ratio. You got to ask Mr. Money to talk about this.

[B]

I'm making a note right now.

[C]

Yeah, one thing. I mean, this is going to be the biggest IPO in history, right? It will be the biggest. More money will be brought into a company in history with this historic SpaceX IPO. I am. One thing that I really find interesting about this is Elon's doing something interesting. Normally when there's an ipo, your broker calls you and says, hey, I have a chance for you. 100 shares of SpaceX, and you say, I'll take them. Because you know that it's going to come out at a lower number and it usually climbs. And then, you know, the hype will fade after a little while. What Elon said is, this is to every retail investor. So I can go onto my Robinhood app, or I can call Mr. MoneyTalk and just say, hey, place an order for me of this ipo and I can buy it up until the point where they sell off all these shares. But I don't know, is in 10 years is space. I mean, SpaceX is winning space. Nothing's even close. They had this great, great graph of. They said every launch, every payload in the history of space travel equates to like three weeks of what SpaceX does now. It's like, mentally crazy. That's not a real number. Don't hold me to that. But, you know, SpaceX was catching up, catching up, catching up. And all of a sudden now it's like every 10 days it's doing more payload than you know, five years worth of other space programs, NASA and the Chinese and the commies, all these. It's really, really cool. So I think Next on the 12th, I think the IPO is supposed to come out. It will be interesting if Trump does something to shaft Elon to blow the market up that day. If he says, oh, we're going to have to bomb Iran again and drive the market down, I don't know what's going to happen, but I think I am going to put a little bit of money into SpaceX.

I have to play this clip for you because I saw this and I thought of you right away. I don't know if this is new, but it made me chuckle and it made me think of you right away. So this is your gal AOC lover ripping Elon Musk because he's stupid. Well, because she's totally in love with him. We all know that, right? Here we go. Cue the talent. Standby and. Forget it. I'll give you the Cliff Notes. Okay, it was in a different language, Alexandria. Occasional Cortez quote. Elon Musk is not a scientist. He's not an engineer. He's a billionaire con man with a lot of money. Money. Than Elon Musk says, a point of correction. It's trillionaire. Trillionaire guy that starts with a T, not a B. To which I say, yeah, yeah.

[C]

And, you know, I was thinking about when people say, well, you're not a journalist, it's like, well, if I get paid to write something, you're a journalist.

[B]

Right, Right.

[C]

And if he gets paid to do science, which he does, he does money doing it. Right. And he figured it out on his own, and he makes a lot of money doing doing it. You know what it makes me think of?

[B]

What?

[C]

Why are hallways in mental institutions called hallways?

[B]

I don't know.

[C]

They should be called psychopaths.

[B]

Psychopaths instead of hallways.

[C]

Reavers. You are the best.
