Main Theme / Purpose

In this lively, free-form Weekly Scramble edition of Garage Logic, hosts Chris Reivers and Mike Frattaloni riff on the overwhelming celebrity obsession exemplified by the media spectacle around Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner attending the Knicks' NBA championship. Their debate spirals into a broader critique of fame, envy, generational entitlement, and what it says about American culture—eventually segueing into heartwarming Midwestern stories, minor baseball mayhem, and the joys of road trips and peeing outdoors. As always, the show moves with trademark camaraderie, humor, and nostalgia.

Key Discussion Points & Highlights

1. NBA Finals, Knicks Win, and the Revolving Door of Timberwolves Stars ([02:53]–[07:58])

• NY Knicks win their first NBA title in 53 years. Chris is generally happy for Knicks fans, with a wink to his own kids' fandom.
• Minneapolis heartbreak: The repeated pattern of Timberwolves stars leaving and promptly winning titles elsewhere (Karl Anthony Towns, Andrew Wiggins, Kevin Love, Kevin Garnett).
• Political photo-ops and sport: Chris and Mike poke fun at politicians claiming credit for the championship and reflect on performative fandom (e.g., Tim Walz with tags left on merch).

"So he was the fourth 'superstar' to be traded from the Timberwolves to then win a championship with his new team within two years." —Chris ([06:12])

---

2. The Celebrity Obsession Critique: Chalamet & Jenner at the Finals ([07:39]–[15:58])

• Media focus keeps cutting to Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner at Knicks games, which triggers Chris’s ire about society’s shallow focus on celebrity.
• Chris argues that, compared to the average fan who sacrifices for tickets, celebrities are only there for show, photo ops, and Instagram cred.
• Rant escalates: “I detest you, Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner. I do. ... Why don’t you go clean the bathrooms and let the janitor sit there with his wife. They'd appreciate it more than you.” —Chris ([09:50])
• Mike (& mockingly): Defends their right to use their money (or clout) for tickets. “Kylie Jenner earned every damn cent of that. If she wants to buy front-row damn tickets, it's her prerogative.” ([10:20]) Both hosts jokingly spar about gender, money, and what society values.
• Memorable Moment: Chris’s fury peaks over Chalamet being “grumpy” when surprised with a private IMAX birthday screening, further demonstrating entitlement.

  “You got grumpy because your girlfriend had the audacity to surprise you? ... It’s the entitled, look-at-me generation that absolutely drives me insane.” —Chris ([14:11])

3. The Kardashian/Jenner Wealth Machine & Societal Reflection ([15:58]–[19:09])

• Mike stokes Chris’s frustration by repeatedly raising the staggering net worths of Kylie Jenner ($750M) and Kim Kardashian ($1.7–1.9B), tracing their fame to the infamous sex tape.
• “That is the most profitable sex tape in the history of the world.” —Mike ([18:03])
• Chris blames not the Kardashians individually but “us” as a culture: “This is us. We’re a bunch of knuckle-dragging, drooling morons roaming everywhere. And this is what we have.” ([18:03])

---

4. Local Flavor: Chris Humphries, Dave’s Hot Chicken, & Minnesota Roots ([19:09]–[21:47])

• Anecdotes about Kim Kardashian’s ex, Minnesotan Chris Humphries: his nicely-behaved family, fame effects, and business ventures—Humphries owns a major Dave’s Hot Chicken franchise group.
• “He’s parlayed that into a small fortune. Chicken fortune.” —Chris ([21:43])

---

5. Heartwarming and Humorous Midwest Stories ([21:47]–[34:07])

• Shift away from celebrity discussion, sharing stories of sports and parenthood:
  • 77-year-old Giants ball boy makes a big play, earns a rally, and the hosts joke about riding the viral fame (bobblehead ideas, contract suggestions). ([22:17])
• Goofy but touching “dad and son peeing outdoors” stories: Symbolizing father-son bonding and rural Americana.
  • “That’s just one of the beauties of being a dad. I’m passing on wisdom. —Chris ([34:02])

---

6. Listener Engagement & Community: Summer Road Trips & The Frat Pack ([34:19]–[38:16])

• Readout of a listener’s summer road trip suggestion:
  • Peace Garden on USA/Canada border (“honors the two nations with the longest, continuous border never gone to war”), Theodore Roosevelt Park, Medora—an example of meaningful, non-celebrity experiences. ([34:20]–[35:53])
• Frat Pack shout-outs: Community Facebook group for listeners to share photos, road trip tips, and local adventures. Mike highlights favorite contributors and their posts.

---

7. Goofy Nostalgia: Sober Cab Stories, Local Lore, and Dad Jokes ([38:16]–End)

• Mike and Chris trade stories about group trips, up-north golf outings, Pat Royce as a “sober” driver (with wild U-turns), and favorite travel moments.
  • “Easy up there, Rockford!” —Judd Zulgad, in Pat's car ([41:32])
• Conversation ends with a classic dad joke (“what do you call a dog with no legs?”), camaraderie, and an invitation to review the show.

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “I detest you, Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner. I do. I wish you knew what they would do. They’d say, you two, why don’t you go clean the bathrooms? And the janitor that’s actually doing that work, he and his wife are gonna sit here. Cause they would appreciate it a hell of a lot more than you would. Cause you’re only using this for a photo op to post to Instagram, to all your fake friends and your fake followers and your fake lifestyle.” —Chris ([09:50])

• “Kylie Jenner earned every damn cent of that. And if she wants to buy front row damn tickets to the game, it’s her prerogative.” —Mike ([10:20])

• “You got grumpy because your girlfriend had the audacity to surprise you with something. ... It’s the entitled look-at-me generation.” —Chris ([14:11])

• “That was a really great play. Just shows. I wonder if in general Republicans are better than Democrats at sports.” —Mike ([28:08])

• On summer road trips: “We loved it. Very relaxing, beautiful scenery and something quite different.” —Listener Jack Olson ([35:53])

• On fatherhood: “That’s just one of the beauties of being a dad. I’m passing on wisdom.” —Chris ([34:02])

Chris’s anti-celebrity tirade, Mike’s teasing defenses, and their shared affinity for sports, road trips, and fatherhood ground the podcast in a satirical but always relatable reality. The moral: turn your eyes from the Jumbotrons and Instagram feeds, savor life’s small-town moments, and maybe, just maybe, enjoy a little pee outside with your kids.

[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 Frattaloni. Hello, Michael.

[Ad Voice / Guest]

How you doing?

[Michael Fratelloni]

Reverse.

[Chris Reivers]

Hold up. Excuse me.

[Michael Fratelloni]

You couldn't have done that 14 seconds before.

[Chris Reivers]

I thought I did. I thought I had cleared it. And then all of a sudden I'm like, oh, that's not going to last. I don't know. Until they heard that.

[Michael Fratelloni]

My microphone for sure.

[Chris Reivers]

So, you know, on this show, we talk about a number of things. We're kind of like GL Light, as you like to call us, all over

[Michael Fratelloni]

the board, with no reason or rhyme or reason.

[Chris Reivers]

No, we just like to talk about the things that interest us. And one of those things for me has been the city of New York. And I don't know if you know this, but the New York Knicks won their very first NBA championship in 53 years. So since 1973 was their last title,

[Michael Fratelloni]

socialist cities, communist cities have the best sports teams.

[Chris Reivers]

Okay, now you're bringing me down a different path quickly, which is great. So there was a photo that served, and I wasn't planning on bringing that up, but since you mentioned it, I

[Michael Fratelloni]

was making a joke.

[Chris Reivers]

There's a photo of Moron Zamdani.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Thank him.

[Chris Reivers]

Kathy Hawk, the governor of New York. And then there was another person. I can't remember saying, it's been years of work, but we're finally welcoming the World Cup. And someone pointed out, and with very vulgar language, which delighted me, none of you MFers were in office when any of this was constructed. Y' all just took over recently. Like, quit claiming that you got all of this done. You literally just got. Took office.

[Michael Fratelloni]

I remember when Kathy Hochul was proclaiming that somebody wasn't a fan of New York, and she said, well, you know, when they won the division in 97, it's like, well, they didn't win the division in 97. It was 98. But why do. Nothing's wrong as a politician saying, you know what? I love basketball. I don't know a thing about it. I don't pay attention to that.

[Chris Reivers]

I'm happy for everyone that's a fan. I'm super happy.

[Michael Fratelloni]

I love our team. I don't know one damn thing about it.

[Chris Reivers]

It's right. We always made fun of Walls when he put on his Timberwolves hat with a price tag still sticking on it. Because he's just doing this for.

[Michael Fratelloni]

He's one of. Being one of the guys. Your tags and your hats.

[Chris Reivers]

So this Thursday is gonna be the New York Knicks celebratory ticker tape parade. It's set to be one of the biggest parades ever. It's gonna be awesome in the history of New York City. Really, it's gonna be bonkers.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Bigger than Trump's 80th birthday party. A military parade.

[Chris Reivers]

See, I wasn't gonna go there. This is a parade. It's pretty cool. And I gotta be honest, I didn't really have a dog in the fight of who was gonna win the NBA. Once the Wolves get eliminated, it's like, I just wanna watch good basketball. And both my kids, in fact, my oldest one, so it's kind of a cool thing that we get to watch together. So it's great. But then as time kind of went, I'm like, you know, it'd be kind of cool if New York won the one NBA championship. And again, I always hate. I hate root against the Yankees, the Mets, the Giants. I hate root against all New York teams. Except I thought that'd be kind of cool if New York won.

[Michael Fratelloni]

It's not cool.

[Chris Reivers]

Why?

[Michael Fratelloni]

Because they're communists. Okay, okay. But let me get back to the basketball players. Most important about it is Karl Anthony Towns is on that team.

[Chris Reivers]

Yes.

[Michael Fratelloni]

He was one of us. And then he leaves our crap hole to go to another crap hole and he wins a championship.

[Chris Reivers]

That. Okay. Another side road we're going down. You know, he didn't want to get traded.

[Michael Fratelloni]

I get it.

[Chris Reivers]

So. And he. He was the fourth, quote, unquote superstar to be traded from the Timberwolves to then win a championship with his new team within two years.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Are you kidding me?

[Chris Reivers]

So he was the latest. Sure. This year, 2026. In 2022, Andrew W. Who was the number one overall pick, technically, by the Cleveland Cavaliers, and then traded to the Timberwolves. He then won a title with the Golden State warriors.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Okay.

[Chris Reivers]

In 2016, Kevin Love, who was traded, who was traded that year, won a title with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

[Garagelogic Announcer]

Nice.

[Chris Reivers]

And then in 2008, Kevin Garnett, who was traded to the Boston Celtics in 2007.

[Michael Fratelloni]

I'm totally fine with Garnett.

[Chris Reivers]

Well, yeah. And because Garnett, end of his season, four of those guys didn't want to leave the Wolves. The Wolves just traded them.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Little did they know, they should have left the Wolves as fast as they possibly could so they can get themselves a ring.

[Chris Reivers]

Here's the reason why I'm bringing up the New York Knicks. So when you watch the game, and I know you were glued to all

[Michael Fratelloni]

of the NBA finals now, one second of it.

[Chris Reivers]

So when you would watch the game, especially in New York City, Madison Square Garden, it's the. It's the. The showcase of all showcases to ever showcase, right? And they would say, oh, look at it. There's Patrick Ewing. Oh, look, there's Tracy Morgan. Oh, look, there's, you know, what's his name? Ben Stiller. And his wife who's. Who played Marcia Brady. I can't remember her name.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Anyway, Marcia.

[Chris Reivers]

And then they keep showing. They keep showing this guy called Timothee Chalamet and his girlfriend Kristi Kenny. What's her name?

[Michael Fratelloni]

No.

[Chris Reivers]

Kylie Jenner.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Kylie Jenner.

[Chris Reivers]

Kylie Jenner. Yeah.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Is it Kylie or the other one again? I'll look it up. Hold on. Let me search some pictures of her.

[Chris Reivers]

I know what she looks like. I know she's an attractive young woman.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Tim Chalamet.

[Chris Reivers]

Tim Chalamet with Kylie Jenner.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Kardashian.

[Chris Reivers]

And it's cute. Okay. Before Timothee Chalamet became a really big superstar in the world of acting, I knew he was a lifelong Knicks fan and he got tickets as a fan when he was 15 or whatever it. And he's just been a fan this whole time. Great. That's super cool. And fine, you want to show them at the game. That's great. However, here's the part. Here's what? Here's the burr in my saddle.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Okay.

[Chris Reivers]

Are you ready?

[Michael Fratelloni]

Sure.

[Chris Reivers]

The burr in my saddle is this. Yeah, I know. She's gorgeous.

[Ad Voice / Guest]

Sorry.

[Michael Fratelloni]

I'm showing him pictures.

[Chris Reivers]

She's stunning. I get all of it. Here's the part I want to get to. For those of you that would like a real deep explanation, please gather around your speakers, your Alexa, your whatever. Get really close to the speaker so you can hear my message about all of that. I don't care. I don't care about the celebrities. I don't care about you. I don't care about what movie you're in. I don't care how long you've been a Knicks fan. I don't care that you're filming some documentary on your phone to document and chronicle all of the games you bleepin bent over the year. I don't care. I don't care about. I think they're all just egotistical pieces of crap. I don't care. Stop Showing them. Stop saying that. Oh, this is such a big moment for them. You really think so? You think it's a bigger moment for you than it is for the car technician that's been working his ass off to maybe buy four tickets an entire year to take his kids? You think that's a bigger moment for you than it is him? First of all, you got your tickets freaking donated to you. You didn't pay to be there yet. You're basically smelling the sweat off the players.

[Ad Voice / Guest]

Blame.

[Chris Reivers]

I hate celebrity culture. Like, you have never. I can't tell you. I can't tell you how many times. And this is not rooted in jealousy. It's just the opposite. I detest you, Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner. I do. I wish you knew what they would do. They'd say, you two, why don't you go clean the bathrooms? And the janitor that's actually doing that work, he and his wife are gonna sit here. Cause they would appreciate it a hell of a lot more than you would. Cause you're only using this for a photo op to post on Instagram to all your fake friends and your fake followers and your fake lifestyle.

[Michael Fratelloni]

And you're a bunch of f. Double standard weenie. Oh, but you're. You're fine with the billionaire. You're fine with a billionaire going to a game. You're fine with the guy. You're fine with a billion dollar guy making a billion dollars. But when a couple of stars use their own money that they earned, they don't buy those. Jenner. Kylie Jenner earned every damn cent of that.

[Chris Reivers]

Sure, her dad turned into a woman

[Michael Fratelloni]

because life was so stressful. She earned every cent of that money that she has. And if she wants to buy front row damn tickets to the game, it's her prerogative. And another thing.

[Chris Reivers]

Reavers talk to me.

[Michael Fratelloni]

They could not show one second of the game and just focus on her beautiful, stinking face. And I would have watched it that much more. Because you know what? She is. She's better than basketball. Way better than basketball. All right. Timothee Chalamet is a stud. Did you ever see him come to the University of Minnesota and he met the band and he played with the band. It was unbelievable.

[Chris Reivers]

It was so, so cool. I thought that was Chad Smith.

[Michael Fratelloni]

No, he came. He came and did it. He went when he was doing Dylan. Did he do Dylan?

[Ad Voice / Guest]

Yes.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Yeah. And they did a Dylan song for him. He was just. Could not be cooler. But they earned the right to sit in those seats. The reason that the taxi driver or the mechanic didn't do it, because they were 49 grand a piece those guys paid for them. Or the Knicks said, you're bigger than 49,000 bucks. We need your asses parked there because people want to watch you. Because you know what they want in basketball? They want female fans, too. You know what guys might not do? Guys will stare at Kylie Jenner's chest because we're animals. But women will judge her for looking a little fat. And they'll look. Look at him and say, this guy's amazing. She looks chunky.

[Chris Reivers]

And by giving him and her the two $49,000 tickets, they know damn well that there's somebody out there with a hell of a lot more money than that that'll spend $100,000 to sit next to them at a basketball game.

[Progressive Ad Voice]

Yes.

[Chris Reivers]

I'm not an idiot. I get how that works. I'm just saying I think it's stupid. Let me prove exactly my point as to why. And again, am I singling out Timothy Chalamet? Probably. But this is exactly. I don't hate him. I hate the culture, what he represents. I hate what he represents. Thank you. That's way better stated. I wonder why I didn't make it a mytak107.1. So Timothee Chalamet was being interviewed. I don't know what exactly this was, if it was some type of town hall. I don't think this is very recent. But it's him and Matthew McConaughey. And no one loves some Matthew McConaughey more than me because he seems like a guy, a dude that would run into you and me at the VFW in Mendota and say, hey, I love the weekly scramble. Let me buy you two a beer. That's the kind of guy Matthew McConaughey strikes me as.

[Michael Fratelloni]

I love him for that.

[Chris Reivers]

So Timothee Chalamet reveals that Kylie Jenner surprised him with a private IMAX screening of Interstellar for his birthday.

[Garagelogic Announcer]

That's sweet.

[Chris Reivers]

It's a very nice gift.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Yeah, that's a very generous gift.

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, but just wait.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Who did they have show up?

[Chris Reivers]

Quote, this is Timothee Chalamet. Now quote, I was grumpy on the way there cuz I didn't know where she was taking me. I was like, this is my birthday. Why are we driving 30 minutes outside of LA? I got to the theater, it was Interstellar and IMAX. I said, oh, my God. I was like, I was so grumpy in the drive I love that movie, man. I hope it resonates for you guys too, because I just love that movie. And I'm the only person that gets sad every time Casey Affleck comes on screen because that's when I'm out the movie. Okay, you got grumpy because your girlfriend had the audacity to surprise you with something. And oh my goodness, I'm so sorry. They went 30 minutes out of your way. This is exactly what I'm talking about. I can't stand that. You know what it is? It's the entitled look at me generation. That absolutely freaking drives me insane. That's what it is.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Well, you know, okay, I mean, that's a little weird, right? You're with your beautiful.

[Chris Reivers]

I mean, first of all, okay, it's your birthday. Where do you think she's taking you to go fold laundry at a Laundromat? Like she's obviously doing something for you.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Not to mention he's a man. You know what men get to do with their birthdays? Not a frickin thing.

[Chris Reivers]

Right?

[Michael Fratelloni]

If you tell someone it's your birthday, that's weird. As a man, you shut up. You don't say one word. You wait till someone says something.

[Chris Reivers]

Right? Thank you. I appreciate it.

[Michael Fratelloni]

And when they say, oh, let's do something and say, you know what? You say, we don't have to do anything. I don't care. It's my. I'm an adult man. I don't need to worry about it. Yeah. And then you look over at your hot, hot, hot, right? One of the hottest women in the world and you say, maybe this is a present enough. Maybe she gave him one of those little books where you rip off things saying free back rub or free foot massage. Him or her, he might be giving it to her. Like she rips one of those things. I can only think.

[Progressive Ad Voice]

I gotta.

[Chris Reivers]

I gotta settle down. I got a little.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Got a little steamed up on that thought.

[Chris Reivers]

I have one of those.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Timothee Chalamet's net is 35 million.

[Chris Reivers]

That's great, right?

[Michael Fratelloni]

Because. No, but Kylie Jenner. Wait till you see this.

[Chris Reivers]

Don't, don't. I don't want to get mad. I really, really, truly don't want to get mad.

[Michael Fratelloni]

I think you do. I think you do want to see. What do you think Kylie Jenner is worth? Okay, take a guess.

[Chris Reivers]

50 million?

[Michael Fratelloni]

A little higher.

[Chris Reivers]

75.

[Michael Fratelloni]

A little higher.

[Chris Reivers]

100 million.

[Michael Fratelloni]

750 million.

[Chris Reivers]

That's not possible.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Yes, she owns Kylie Cosmetics that she has 51 of and they're all over the place. $750 million she is worth. That is not bad.

[Michael Fratelloni]

From one sex tape. That's what Kim's known for.

[Chris Reivers]

It spawned this entire.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Kim was like Paris Hilton's assistant. I mean, she was kind of low on the. I mean, not that Paris Hilton isn't great. From one sex tape. A good one. I mean, five stars, sure. Never even seen it. Actually I would. I'm not a prude. I don't care. I just haven't seen it. Kim Kardashian is worth 1.7 to $1.9 billion.

[Chris Reivers]

That is insane.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Kylie Jenner, she's the second most from 670 to 710. Khloe, Courtney and Kendall are 60 to 65 each. And then the mom who's the Mastermind of all 170 million. That's a multiple billion dollar family that's earned their money through the genesis of one sex tape. One that is the most profitable sex tape in the history of the world.

[Chris Reivers]

I think if you've properly explained my rage, that's what makes me mad. Is that again, I'm not accusing them of not working hard or going after it. I blame us. I blame us. This is an us problem. This is why we have activists running for office seats. This is why reality TV stars are as famous as it's us. We're a bunch of knuckle dragging, drooling morons roaming everywhere. And this is what we have. This is what the product of all of that has become. I'm sorry. Verklempt.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Plus whatever it is, her sex tape, Kim Kardashian sex tape has spawned this 1.7 to $1.9 billion fortune. I just kind of think to myself, reivers, if I released one of my

[Chris Reivers]

sex tapes, would you be worth the same amount?

[Michael Fratelloni]

I can't fathom in this world that anybody would pay anything to see that happen.

[Chris Reivers]

I want to share a story and I'll try. Well, it's going to be hard for me to.

[Michael Fratelloni]

How do you share this story? Do it real slow.

[Chris Reivers]

I was working for a large chain of health clubs.

[Michael Fratelloni]

You can say that.

[Chris Reivers]

Okay, we know the one. And one of her former husbands.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Okay.

[Chris Reivers]

Was coming in that day to work out.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Okay, just a gal that was there.

[Chris Reivers]

No, no, no. Kim's ex husband. But they were married at the time.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Kim's ex husband with his name is Chris Humphries.

[Chris Reivers]

Right. I think that's fair.

[Michael Fratelloni]

He's a public fig, we can say. I mean, as long as we're not lying.

[Chris Reivers]

And their family were wonderful. His parents came to work out, his little sister came to work out. Because I think at that time she.

[Michael Fratelloni]

They were on a family plan.

[Chris Reivers]

No, but. No, but I think she was still like a big shot player, a high school player. That doesn't matter. But my point is, they could not have been nicer anytime that they came in. Well, once it was revealed that those two were an item, he kind of had to say, I think he let somebody know that he was tight with that, hey, I'm coming in. And once that word spread and the text messages started to flow, I said, what is going on? There's no parking outside. Like, what really was that big deal? And this is. Keep in mind, this is way before social media. This is just word of mouth, texting, calling, things like that. And I thought, what is going on? Like, who gives a damn who this guy is married to? But it was insane that that was happening.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Well, I get that. But now, Chris Humphries again, I looked his life up, right? He's worth about $50 million. You know why? Because he owns all of Minnesota's. If I'm not mistaken, Dave's hot chickens.

[Chris Reivers]

You know what?

[Michael Fratelloni]

I knew that he owns this big group, franchise group. He has major expansion happening and he's Bringing this delicious Dave's Hot chicken to Minnesota. Apple Valley, Coon Rapids, Rochester, Edina, North Loop. What a stud. Good for him. And he stayed local living out on Minnetonka. I remember a story where he brought Kim out on a pontoon out on Lake Minnetonka.

[Chris Reivers]

Yeah.

[Michael Fratelloni]

And when she was here and I thought, huh, do you think. I mean, she had to be a regular gal at one point in time, right?

[Chris Reivers]

Maybe.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Who was her sex tape with? Ray J. Why does that.

[Progressive Ad Voice]

I think so.

[Chris Reivers]

I really don't want to talk about that was a test anymore.

[Michael Fratelloni]

That was tested.

[Chris Reivers]

If you knew. But I do I duke the Dave's Hot chicken. I didn't know that angle because we had it here once. I don't remember if it was catering or something or other. Fantastic.

[Michael Fratelloni]

30 locations that he has.

[Chris Reivers]

Okay.

[Ad Voice / Guest]

Right.

[Michael Fratelloni]

So he's parlayed that into a small fortune chicken fortune.

[Chris Reivers]

All right, let's transition, shall we? Because boy, I really, really, really, really, really don't want to talk about celebrities anymore. Even though I basically just spent the first 20 minutes of the show doing so.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Worth it.

[Chris Reivers]

So I want to share a heartwarming story, shall we? We're going to stay in the world of sports because you told me a number of weeks ago, let's try to be more positive. And damn it, that's what we're going to do.

[Michael Fratelloni]

We're going to do it.

[Chris Reivers]

So this is according to out kick the coverage and Fox Sports News. You ready?

[Michael Fratelloni]

Yes.

[Chris Reivers]

Sorry, it's. It's allergy season, man. Holy cow. A 77 year old ball boy for the San Francisco Giants made one of the greatest plays of the season on Wednesday afternoon, leading to one of the greatest comebacks of the MLB season. Trailing 9 to 1 in the eighth inning, the Giants put up one of the most stunning and random rallies you'll ever see, scoring 10 runs over the final two innings to win 11 10. That's right. While you all changed the channel, the Giants were setting the world on fire. And I can't prove this, but it all started after a play from San Francisco. 77 year old ball boy. So that's what it took Michael to spark the comeback. Please tell me you've seen the video.

[Michael Fratelloni]

I think I have, but tell me about it.

[Chris Reivers]

So picture, picture grandpa. Like my dad's 75, right. Which is why I absolutely loved the story. So he's sitting in the chair, right? And you know, you gotta wait to see if the ball's officially.

[Michael Fratelloni]

You don't want to do something wrong.

[Chris Reivers]

So he goes for the ball. He's sitting down the right field line, okay. Past the dugout. And he reaches for the ball. He fields the ball clean. Like he dives for the ball and fields it clean. And the place goes nuts. Nuts. And sports is all about momentum. And then all of a sudden, I mean, the Giants have been absolutely terrible this year. The place goes nuts. Here comes the rally. A couple runs here, a couple runs there.

[Michael Fratelloni]

That's pretty momentum changing.

[Chris Reivers]

If you are the San Francisco Giants now, you're more into the marketing side of things than I am.

[Michael Fratelloni]

This guy's gotta be.

[Chris Reivers]

If you are the Giants, you have got to make this guy a thing. You have to.

[Michael Fratelloni]

You sign him for a contract to play second base.

[Chris Reivers]

Jesus.

[Michael Fratelloni]

The end of an inning, right?

[Chris Reivers]

Yeah, but he could die. These guys hit the ball 110 miles

[Michael Fratelloni]

an hour up right right field again.

[Chris Reivers]

He could die.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Not if he's playing ball. Boy, that ball had to be moving down the right base.

[Chris Reivers]

I see what you're saying. Baseline, you're saying, okay, it's the ninth inning, we're losing to Houston.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Throw them out. And six, right field.

[Chris Reivers]

We were going to make a substitution anyway. We'll literally put him out there for one pitch.

[Ad Voice / Guest]

Yeah.

[Chris Reivers]

And then. Then we'll sub him out again, like right away.

[Michael Fratelloni]

He would actually be a player on that team because he brought a win to that team. 100%.

[Chris Reivers]

So his wins above replacement, because we all love stats now is 1.0.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Yeah, that would be pretty damn good.

[Chris Reivers]

Interesting.

[Michael Fratelloni]

That would be fun to do that. I mean, they have to ride him as hard as they can. Or.

[Chris Reivers]

Or I'm thinking bobblehead. Right. We've all. And I've never been to that ballpark. It's one of the. One of the ones that I have not traveled to yet because I've been waiting for the right time and the right opportunity. But that would be. You make. What's it called now? It's like Oracle park or some crap.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Sure.

[Chris Reivers]

But it's right. Remember, it's the one that's right on the bay, right on the water.

[Michael Fratelloni]

I would know that.

[Chris Reivers]

Okay, fine. But anyway, that would be super cool. I could get behind a movement, something like that. Or the bobblehead is like him diving. And then they could create that, use his likeness, and they'd sell a ton of them.

[Michael Fratelloni]

I think that would be great. I mean, wouldn't that be fun? I don't know. I think that's the deal. Did you see there's a couple of other baseball stories that I didn't know if you saw. Did you see that? The second base umpire, the guy sliding into second base, the umpire goes like this to say he's out. And punches the second base runner square in the face. Shut up, Reavers. I'm gonna. Okay, if you're watching this or if you're looking at this online, it is shocking how hard this guy hits him in the face. Well, watch. Boom. Hits him right in the face.

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, my.

[Michael Fratelloni]

And so he takes his hand and he swings from up to down and hits the player square in the. Calling him out. It looks fake, but this is not fake.

[Chris Reivers]

I was gonna say, not only does it look fake, but when you watch the play happen where the umpire is standing, he can see the momentum of the base runner coming right towards him.

[Michael Fratelloni]

And then he backs up and boom. Smacks him right in the face.

[Chris Reivers]

And the thing is, those that might not believe me, I'm always extremely kind or try to be extremely kind and forgiving to umpires. Because here's the thing right now, ladies and gentlemen, we have a massive umpire shortage in the state of Minnesota. And it's because no one wants to do the job because they're sick of listening to you yell at them for your BS Because Timmy can't hit a fastball. So that's why a lot of guys have just said, I'm one of them. I've been offered countless.

[Progressive Ad Voice]

No.

[Chris Reivers]

First of all, I sprayed enough time.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Don't want someone yelling at you.

[Chris Reivers]

Even, like, last night, my son had. My oldest son had a game down in Mapleton. Gorgeous new facility. So I don't know if you're familiar with the Maple River School District. I know. In fact, I'm gonna get to that in a second here.

[Ad Voice / Guest]

But.

[Chris Reivers]

But it was just a kid. I think he couldn't have been 16 years old that was umpiring this game, and he made a bad call or whatever. And I said, hey, no big deal. Just want to let you know. And this was after the inning was over. I just said, hey, I wasn't going to argue with you. I go, just so you know, he's got to pause and then step with the back foot, but we're good. Like, don't worry about. Was a play that cost us, but I didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

[Michael Fratelloni]

You want the kid to keep going

[Chris Reivers]

because he's learning, and he's like, oh, my God, thank you. I'm like, no, dude, you're doing a good job. I just wanted you to know that that's technically the rule, right? Go back to the dugout. And we were edged 18 or whatever

[Michael Fratelloni]

the hell it was.

[Chris Reivers]

It doesn't matter.

[Michael Fratelloni]

That was close. No wonder you were so adamant about fixing it.

[Chris Reivers]

Well, and that's just it, like pick and choose, right? And this is a kid that's learning how to do the job. And I was going somewhere at that point. Now I forgot.

[Michael Fratelloni]

But let me tell you another story real quick because I can't believe you didn't see this one. 50 year old Missouri Senator Eric Schmidt goes full layout in the Republicans versus Democrat baseball game. You didn't see this?

[Garagelogic Announcer]

No.

[Michael Fratelloni]

50 years old, he's a senator, he's playing left field and he makes this long, like he's boxing, catch, face grinds into the gravel, right? Oh boy. Gets up. Beautiful, beautiful catch. And the Republicans end up winning, beating the Democrats surprisingly 11 to 2.

[Chris Reivers]

Isn't this the one where unfortunately we had the shooting incident?

[Michael Fratelloni]

Yes, it was inside though. I mean, watch this, watch this play. I know, I know if you can't see it, but watch. That was a pretty decent catch. And he ran like 30 yards to get it. He's bald and fat just like me, right? And he, and then he gets up and he has like, like marks on his face. Well worth it. That was a really great play. Just shows. I wonder if in general Republicans are better than Democrats at sports.

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, I'm sure, yeah, I'm sure that I'm joking.

[Michael Fratelloni]

I have no, because I don't know, is that possible? I mean, hacky sack Democrats would probably win Frisbee golf. They're going to win.

[Chris Reivers]

I have no idea. But, but you bring up an interesting point because.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Do I?

[Chris Reivers]

Right now? No, because right now is like that teetering point. Because, because once Fourth of July hits, right? I've always equated like that's the Saturday of the summer, right?

[Michael Fratelloni]

Okay. Okay.

[Chris Reivers]

Fourth of July Saturday and Labor Day is Sunday of the summer, right? So my gosh, I'm sorry, my allergies are kicking my butt today, but this is the time of the year where as I have a text thread, it's me and I think it's six different parents. We've all been friends forever and we all have kids that play travel sports. Most of this group is travel, baseball, parents, right? So we'll exchange like funny things or funny photos and things like that. And it's like, well, I guess she's ready for the tournament. It's the mom with the wagon, right? That's got the 19 different chairs, two coolers, the standard umbrella filled with Chardonnay 100%. Right. So it's just. It's things like that where we kind of. We kind of goof with each other, and we're all, like, seeing the kids. We love you, and we're so happy. We hope you play through the entire state tournament. But all of those travel baseball parents right now are looking for the light at the end of that tunnel. And again, I've always applied the philosophy of one day, there's no more games to go to. And I absolutely have done that even last year. And I love it. I know I will miss it when it's over with. I get all that. But we're all like, oh, my God, I'm about to get a raise because I don't have to buy another tank of gas again today. Or whatever.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Freedom.

[Chris Reivers]

Yeah. And just so we could do other stuff, right?

[Michael Fratelloni]

Just anything.

[Chris Reivers]

So it was kind of funny we were going through that cycle last night, and then. So I'll share this story quick. William and I were driving from Mapleton back home.

[Michael Fratelloni]

You're gonna tell this story.

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, yeah.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Okay.

[Chris Reivers]

And we're in. I mean, honest to God, we are in the middle of nowhere.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Okay.

[Chris Reivers]

And I mean nowhere. I think I saw a house about a mile down the highway, and I went. And he's like, dad, I gotta go. Dad, I have got to go. I said, buddy, we'll be in janesville in, like, 20. He was like, I am not gonna make it to the next Casey's gas station or whatever. I said, eff it. Threw in park. The storm clouds are coming in. I go, let's go. So it's like. And I'm like, you know what? We're probably gonna remember that for a while.

[Michael Fratelloni]

That's Americana.

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, it is. You know, you're in the middle of some farmer's field. The guy's, you know, wow. One in the back, whatever, right? It's like, okay, we're in the middle of nowhere.

[Progressive Ad Voice]

Nowhere.

[Chris Reivers]

No one's gonna give.

[Michael Fratelloni]

What town were you in?

[Chris Reivers]

I have no idea. Honest to God.

[Michael Fratelloni]

I thought you said you're driving through Mainesville. What was that?

[Chris Reivers]

So we left Mapleton.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Mapleton.

[Chris Reivers]

And we were driving towards the Janesville area.

[Michael Fratelloni]

So maybe you'll be the Mapleton perverts. Pulling it out, peeing on somebody's crops.

[Chris Reivers]

No, that's the beauty of being a guy.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Yeah. You can do it anywhere.

[Chris Reivers]

You just get to go pee outside sometimes.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Do it anywhere.

[Chris Reivers]

It doesn't matter.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Favorite video of me. What? At all. Like, again, I live in an area no one can See my house, right? And my security camera caught me and my dog peeing at the exact same in just in perfect unison. And I'm talking to her the whole time. And my wife's like, is this what men do? And I'm like, yeah, I'm outside, baby. No one can see me. Why waste the water inside?

[Chris Reivers]

When we go visit my parents at their place, which they have like a 10 acre hobby farm, right, just west of Faribault. And when we go there, I always ask my youngest kid, 11, I go, what's the best part of going to grandma and grandpa's house? Peeing outside.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Being outside.

[Chris Reivers]

Just find a spot where it's not on a trail where people are gonna walk.

[Michael Fratelloni]

You can do that in Minneapolis.

[Chris Reivers]

But yeah, I guess that's technically true. He's like, no, my favorite part of going to grand grandpa's house is I get to pee outside. And he's 11, so he's already got it right.

[Michael Fratelloni]

That's good, you know? You know, it's. You got to be happy when that's your favorite thing to do.

[Chris Reivers]

100%. Yeah. I need to an issue an apology to our friends at Harmony Spirits. By the way, yes, I was in Mapleton. Yes, I did think about making a stop at the tasting room in Harmony, Minnesota.

[Michael Fratelloni]

And I thought, how far was that?

[Chris Reivers]

I honestly, we had to have been close, pretty close, because I know we were, because they, the team we were playing, they do play teams from Iowa. So we were in the vicinity. But by the time the game got done, the storm was coming. And I said, I'll have to take a rain check. And I know I keep.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Frat packers were down there this last week.

[Chris Reivers]

And that's exactly what I wanted to bring up because all of you people that have stopped in there at the tasting room and posted about it on social media, you guys are freaking awesome. And that's so cool. To support our friends at Harmony, Minnesota. Right now. That tasting room is gorgeous. And it's going to be another spectacular Father's Day weekend. So make plans to make the trip down there. It's so easy and convenient. It's right off the highway. It's a block. What would that be? A block due west of the main highway there in Harmony, Minnesota. It's a wonderful drive. And so if you're going to be down and about that way, stop in, say hi to Larry, say hi to Damon, say hi to the entire Harmony Spirits crew. Pick yourself up a four pack of the BlackBerry lemonade. You will not be disappointed. And also right now, you can go online to harmonyspirits.net and you can make your purchase online just click the Buy Online feature on their website website harmony spirits.net and you too can enjoy the wonderful from grain to glass Spirits made by our friends at Harmony spirits in Harmony, Minnesota. Harmonyspirits.net Click the buy online function. The Weekly scramble. We will be right back. Yeah, I'm not ashamed to admit that I peed outside with my kid. That's just one of the beauties of being a dad. I'm passing on wisdom.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Oh, wait, you're passing on on wiz.

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, I see what you did.

[Michael Fratelloni]

I see what you did there.

[Chris Reivers]

I see what's going on. You know, and the thing is, I really want. Oh, I. You mentioned the frat packers. Oh my God. All of you frat packers that have gave me suggestions for the 4th of July. Thank you.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Oh, you're getting some good ones.

[Chris Reivers]

So many cool things I didn't even think about. And here's one that's really cool. This is from Jack. Hey, Chris. Hey, Mike. You were asking on the weekly scramble about ideas for a road trip over the 4th of July. Last year my wife and I took a wonderful six day road trip over the 4th. We're retired, so we didn't have kids with us, but we had a beautiful, wonderful time. We live in Mora, Minnesota and about an hour north of the Twin Cities. Our first day involved a nice drive to Grand Forks and we enjoyed our short time in Grand Forks. The second day we drove to Peace Garden on the USA Canada border. God, that sounds cool. We weren't familiar with that area. It's located at a spot that is nearly halfway between the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean and is both in USA and Canada. How freaking cool is that? It honors the two nations with the longest continuous border that have never gone to war against each other. It is a very just wait, right? It's a very moving spot. From there we drove to Minot for the evening. The next day we drove west to Theodore Roosevelt National Park. We toured the north unit and then drove to Medora and stayed two nights. There is much to do in Medora, including the south unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, a wonderful place to see wild horses, buffalo and prey prairie dogs. The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library is also opening this year. Home is a drive across the I94 corridor. We loved it. Very relaxing, beautiful scenery and something quite different. Jack Olson from Mora, Minnesota. Jack, that email is spectacular and I knew nothing about that. How about the fact that we have a monument that's exactly halfway between the Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean.

[Michael Fratelloni]

How about the fact that that's the longest border between two countries that never have had a war? Is that what he said?

[Chris Reivers]

Yes. I never would have known that.

[Ad Voice / Guest]

I think we.

[Michael Fratelloni]

I think it's kind of time.

[Chris Reivers]

So in this wonderful email issued by Jack, you feel it's time to. It's time to issue mass warfare.

[Michael Fratelloni]

If you've not joined the frat pack yet, find Michael Fratelloni on Facebook, befriend me, then I will take your friendship and invite you onto the frat pack. 5,000. And we have a huge community of there over there. And we have some people posting these beautiful trips. And I just want to point out a couple because Gary Erickson keeps putting the most beautiful pictures. Have you ever heard of Minneopa?

[Chris Reivers]

Yeah.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Okay. I didn't know where that is, but he's got Buffalo pictures and he has his little son with them. Potentially his little son. And Margaret Johnson and Trish are posting pictures. Let me show you one other guy, too. This guy Dave McPherson. Do you know Dave?

[Chris Reivers]

Yes.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Dave McPherson likes to post from bars, and I love that about him. He's like, hey, I'm watching another thing here at the bar. I really love that. Dave, thanks for contributing. Thanks for being in the frat pack. It's a spot where we can all get together, post what we're doing, and get some interplay between us. So now, again, someday we'll have 5000. There's not 5000 of us yet, but we'll have 5000 friends here in the Twin Cities and people who like this show and love Garage Logic and really gives us something to bond with.

[Chris Reivers]

In fact, Minneopa, just west of Mankato, just north of Mapleton, where I was last night. I knew. I knew that because I think they have a state park in Minneapolis.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Well, they don't have. They don't have bison in Minneopa.

[Chris Reivers]

Maybe there was a bison farm.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Oh, maybe that's what it is. Because I'm looking at bison and I'm like, well, it seems. Oh, it is. I didn't see that they were at junior rangers patch. I didn't see that they're in there seeing buffalo.

[Chris Reivers]

We are five days away from the official start of summer, even though we've pretty much already kicked things off. I have a homework assignment for you before we hit Labor Day. Before we hit Labor Day, you. Whether it's just you or you take your beloved or whatever, I know you're busy with girls moving back to college and things like that.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Yeah.

[Chris Reivers]

So much fun. You need to do a drive out statement. Minnesota, somewhere, somehow.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Harmony. That's pretty damn close. And then drive a little bit longer. I'd be outstate.

[Chris Reivers]

You have to do that.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Yeah. We could have a frat pack event at Harmony.

[Chris Reivers]

We could do that.

[Michael Fratelloni]

That'd be kind of fun.

[Chris Reivers]

Once baseball season wraps up for both boys and me, I would 100% do that.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Do we have a coach company we could find. Do we have a coach sponsor where we could take a bus down?

[Chris Reivers]

We did have a partnership with Jefferson Lines, but that was a couple of years ago.

[Michael Fratelloni]

That would be kind of fun. We'd have to have a toilet on it.

[Chris Reivers]

Yeah. I am getting on a bus with a bunch of people that ain't got no toilets. Because we're not stopping every 10 minutes. No, no, because I'm a. I'm a road trip master.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Yeah. Or we just have to have a good sober cab set up.

[Chris Reivers]

Yeah, we could do that, too. We could have Royce drive us. Royce's always volunteered to be the sober cab.

[Michael Fratelloni]

That'd be kind of fun.

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, God.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Maybe have everybody bring a cool car, because a lot of frat packers have cool cars.

[Chris Reivers]

Did I ever tell you that story?

[Michael Fratelloni]

No.

[Chris Reivers]

Of Royce being our sober cab?

[Michael Fratelloni]

Oh, no.

[Chris Reivers]

This is. God, this is years. I think this is before I. I had kids. So. No, William was. We had one child. William was really little. He was maybe one or two. And every year for about five or six years, I think it was. We would always do. This was back in the radio days, we would do the golf opener up at Craghan's. Dutch Cragan. Great guy, great family. Everything about that place was awesome. And they would invite us up on the Friday of the golf opener. It was usually like the first weekend of May. And we would do all of our shows on that Friday. And then Joe and Pat would take us out for dinner. And then Bar harbor was the spot we usually went to, which is a great place. And then Saturday, and they offered us, hey, you can stay up here all weekend, but if you want to head back Saturday morning, you're more than welcome to do that as well. So that Friday, I did it a couple times. Jess came with me a couple times. And then a couple times I went up by myself, just from a scheduling standpoint. And one of the years I went up by myself, it was middle me, height, Phil Mackey, Judd Zulgad, and Royce. And Royce offered to drive us.

[Michael Fratelloni]

That was nice.

[Chris Reivers]

So we get in. We were all staying at the same, basically lodge, right? Because it's not a hotel. It's like lodge living, right? It's beautiful. So we said, hey, everyone, go back, take a shower, change, do whatever you're gonna do. Royce's leaving at 7:00'. Clock. He's gonna take us up to Bar Harbor. So, of course, what Mackie and I do, we start pounding beers.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Pounding beers, sure.

[Chris Reivers]

And John Height joined us and whatever. So Royce gets in the car. We're in his old.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Older.

He doesn't have it anymore. His convertible. So we all pile in. Judd's riding shotgun. Mackie's riding bitch because he's the littlest guy. And then heights on the other door. And I'm on the other door, right? So here we go. We're ready to rock and roll. And of course, what does Royce say? You boys bringing me for the road? And I said, well, no. He's like, well, why not? I'm like, oh, God, Pat, we're not.

[Michael Fratelloni]

We're up north, I guess so.

[Chris Reivers]

Okay, whatever. So we get in the car, and of course, Royce, he doesn't wear a seatbelt. He's just talking away, talking away, talking away. No navigation, no nothing. And I think it was. No, it was. It was Johnny Height that said, pat, you missed the left turn off whatever highway. It was, okay. He proceeds to U turn at, you know, like the. Where the squad car would be sitting on the gravel. U turn, which you're not supposed to do. And, I mean, he barely hit the brakes while he did this.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Oh, good.

[Chris Reivers]

And we all go to the side, and I'm on this side. So of course, I got Mackie and Height plowing in next to me. And then Judd, poor Judd, is sitting in the front seat. And all of a sudden, I hear Judd with the funniest line of the day going, jesus, you know what? Easy up there, Rockford. Rockford Files. And he. It was awesome. And it was.

[Michael Fratelloni]

He was the sober one.

[Chris Reivers]

And he was the sober one.

[Michael Fratelloni]

You're supposed to get us here saying

[Chris Reivers]

you're the one that's supposed to be. What do you call it? Responsible. Oh, my goodness.

[Michael Fratelloni]

You know what he would know? What? He would know what you call a dog with no legs.

[Chris Reivers]

I don't know what you call a dog with no legs, Michael.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Nothing. He ain't gonna come anyways.

[Chris Reivers]

That's a good point.

[Michael Fratelloni]

He ain't coming.

[Chris Reivers]

He ain't coming.

[Michael Fratelloni]

Okay, Reavers, you are the best.
