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

[Mike Fratelloni]

How you doing, Reivers?

[Chris Reivers]

Awesome. Awesome.

[Mike Fratelloni]

From today forward, awesome.

[Chris Reivers]

Right? So there was so many things that I wanted to talk to you about today, but one of the things we did touch on a little bit during Garage Logic. And I just have to say it's a sad day. Yeah, it's just a sad day for me personally. Boy, on a number of levels. But it's a sad day for me. And I'm going to tell you why. Anaconda. You want to know why?

[Mike Fratelloni]

I want to know why.

[Chris Reivers]

There was some news earlier today, Michael. President Donald Trump announced earlier today that he's replacing Department of Homeland Security Security Secretary Kristi Noem with a Republican U.S. senator from Oklahoma. Trump revealed his decision in a post on Truth Social, saying that Senator Mark Wayne Mullen will take over on March 31st. Quote, the current Secretary, Kristi Noem, who has served us well and has had numerous and spectacular results, especially on the border, will be moving to be special envoy for the Shield of the Americas, our new security initiative in the Western Hemisphere. We are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida. I thank Christy for her service at Homeland, trump wrote. The president's announcement comes two days after Noem faced a grilling on Capitol Hill from both GOP members and Democrats. During that Hearing, Noem defended DHS's immigration enforcement tactics and pushed back against criticism from Democrats who say she wrongly disparaged Renee Good and Alex Preddy after they were killed by federal agents in Minneapolis. Since then, the Trump administration has taken steps to tone down tensions, including putting Tom Holman in charge of the Minneapolis, excuse me, the Minnesota operation and drawing down forces here. But the administration has continued pressing restrictions against both legal and illegal immigration, has been up warehouses for immigration detention and persisting in federal enforcement in areas around the country. Noem said about 650 investigations remain in Minnesota as part of a broader fraud probe.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Hmm.

[Chris Reivers]

You know, I've had fun these last couple of years saying that Kristi Noem's my pseudo girlfriend.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Sure.

[Chris Reivers]

You know, and everything else, because I can tell you exactly when it all started. It was July 4, 2020, and I was in South Dakota, family trip.

[Mike Fratelloni]

You were so close to her. You could have just driven over and met her.

[Chris Reivers]

You were staying at a hotel just outside of Rapid City. And this is when I've told this story 100,000 times where air Force One flew over us. They were in a campaign rally for President Trump and they were doing this at Mount Rushmore. Very cool, very cool setting. And that was the first time I'd ever seen then South Dakota Governor Christine Oman. I went, oh, my. And so that's kind of been a crush. But here's the thing. Let's be real for a minute. They had to do something because the optics of all of this was awful.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Maybe don't pick somebody who revels in the fact that she killed the dog because it was a little bitey. Maybe just pass on that one and say, you know what, we're going to pick someone else. But there's a real reason why, why she was fired from this position, Reivers, talk to me. She went ahead and she was in front of Congress and they were asking her a bunch of questions, and she had some good answers because she's a professional at this. But a couple of the questions which she was under fire for was $300 million has been spent on DHS jets. $300 million. Right. That is a lot of money. I don't care if you're on a jet 365 days, all day long. Could you still hit $300 million in the first handful of months of.

[Chris Reivers]

I'd love to give it a try.

[Mike Fratelloni]

I mean, I don't know. That seems like it would be really tiring. But I do know I have the one answer, why she was fired.

[Chris Reivers]

Okay.

[Mike Fratelloni]

She was fired because Kristi Noem created a $200 million ad campaign to suggest billboards, radio spots, TV spots, digital ads.

[Chris Reivers]

We love advertising.

[Mike Fratelloni]

We love advertising. We didn't get any of that money, but she spent $200 million. And it was all about self deport. We're gonna try harder. We're coming for you. Leave now. It's better if you leave now. Reverse. So used to hearing these huge numbers in the government, but a $200 million ad campaign? And the problem with this ad campaign reverse is she was the star of the ad campaign instead of Donald Trump being the star of the ad campaign. Donald Trump thought to himself, wait, you spent $300 million and you were the face of the ad campaign? Why would I be the face of the ad campaign?

[Chris Reivers]

I get that. Yeah. Because, I mean, it's that whole issue of vanity within the public sphere. I totally get that.

[Mike Fratelloni]

I mean, Trump is a vain, vain person.

[Chris Reivers]

Here's my question about that was part of the campaign, the dollar spent. And I'm gonna apologize if I'm putting you on the spot without the information in front of you. Was part of that $200 million the slush fund to give to the people that were gonna be leaving the company?

[Mike Fratelloni]

This is just the ad campaign.

[Chris Reivers]

Wow.

[Mike Fratelloni]

I said to myself, $200 million. What company spends $200 million?

[Chris Reivers]

That'll buy you seconds for a Super bowl ad. Yeah.

[Mike Fratelloni]

So I went and looked this up, and according to Grok, there's only been one company in the history of the worldreavers that has spent $200 million on any one ad campaign. They spend more than $200 million on advertising for a year. But it was BlackBerry for the Z10 phone. And you remember back in. I think it was in 13, they spent that $200 million. Back in 13, BlackBerry was gon. So they did a worldwide blitz, worldwide for their BlackBerry Z10 phone, and they spent over $200 million.

[Chris Reivers]

Wow.

[Mike Fratelloni]

There's not one more single ad campaign, one in the history of the world that's reached $200 million. And she comes in and spends it with her being the star and her front and center. As she's standing there with her police jacket on and her cowboy hat and her pretty little jeans, I can see why Trump was pissed. Right? As a leader of an organization, Trump would be like, what are you doing spending 200 million bucks? That's not what you're supposed to be doing. And $300 million on jets. You just spent a half a billion dollars on this bullshit. I'd be exceptionally frustrated in an effort

[Chris Reivers]

to do more thorough research for the show because I am a dedicated employee and a dedicated host of the weekly scramble podcast.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Absolutely.

[Chris Reivers]

I am gonna need you to do me a massive favor.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Send you some pics of.

[Chris Reivers]

I'm gonna need that video of her in the cowboy hat and the tight jeans and nice, cute police jacket. Just because I want to be thorough in my research for this particular show.

[Mike Fratelloni]

She did really mess up. What happened here in Minnesota was a tragedy. She could have just said that. She didn't need to say. These are considered to be domestic terrorists. Timeout. These are not domestic terrorists.

[Chris Reivers]

She bungled it pretty bad.

[Mike Fratelloni]

She bungled it very bad.

[Chris Reivers]

But I think the message here, though, is she's not really getting fired because, of course, the likes of JB Pritzker and all these people have to post on Social. About time. And Jacob Fry. Good riddance. Well, she's not getting fired.

[Mike Fratelloni]

She is. What is she gonna be? They handed her a little uniform and said, you are now the police captain of the security force.

[Chris Reivers]

In fact, Mike, I think this is technically a promotion. We talked about this on.

[Mike Fratelloni]

No way.

[Chris Reivers]

This is 100% not a promotion. Well, but she's now going to become the special envoy for the Shield of Americas, our new security initiative in the Western hemisphere.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Yeah, Remember that television show? What was that? Team America. That sounds like. Yeah, that's what she's. She's in charge of. Team America.

[Chris Reivers]

Bleep. Yeah.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Yeah, she is. Not that she is not getting a promotion, but. Okay, so who did they have replace her?

[Chris Reivers]

His name is. I got it right here. Mark Wayne Mullen. He's a senator. A Republican senator from Oklahoma.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Wait, a current senator?

[Chris Reivers]

Yeah.

[Mike Fratelloni]

We can't take a senator, although it is from Oklahoma. So they will be able to put in another Republican senator.

[Chris Reivers]

Right.

[Mike Fratelloni]

We can't live with less. Let me restate that. Republicans can't live with less Republican senators. You can't pass anything already, right? Can't Even pass the SAVE act where 80% of the population says, yeah, maybe you should show some form of ID to vote. We can't even pass that through Congress because we don't have enough senators.

[Chris Reivers]

Well, and you would think that that was probably discussed, don't you think?

[Mike Fratelloni]

Yeah, they do. But he's been pulling. He pulled Rubio. He's pulling senators. Republican senators from red Republican states, right?

[Pat Fallon]

Yep.

[Mike Fratelloni]

But this one's a tough one, right? Unless that district is a total always voted Republican. Why would you risk that? Right. Pull someone else. It doesn't have to be a senator. Pull a congressperson. Member of the House of Representatives. They're all congressmen.

[Chris Reivers]

America, America, America. Yeah, I had to play that.

[Mike Fratelloni]

That's. She's gonna be the new boss of Team America.

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, my God, I am 100% stealing that. Oh, she's got a new job. She's the. She's the boss of Team America. World Police.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Sounds like it. I also could hear as I heard the news, I don't know where I heard it, but I could hear, ding dong, the witch is dead.

[Pat Fallon]

Wicked witch.

[Mike Fratelloni]

The mean old witch. Right?

[Chris Reivers]

So your kids are older than mine. This just reminded me of something that I was gonna ask you. And I've been, you know, I've been a little bit more loose with what I'm a lot. What I'm allowing my now 14 year old son to watch. And he doesn't have a cell phone yet, but he has an Apple watch. So he has limited Internet access. But you know, with their Chromebooks at school, you know, they can look up stuff, some stuff on YouTube and whatnot. And I caught him watching a clip from south park the other day. Again, sure, hilarious, but highly inappropriate. I'm going to foghorn myself. That's fine. It's highly inappropriate.

[Mike Fratelloni]

It is inappropriate.

[Chris Reivers]

But I. He's like. And I go, what are you watching? Nothing.

[Mike Fratelloni]

So he can pull up south park on his Chromebook from school?

[Chris Reivers]

Well, kind of, yeah.

[Mike Fratelloni]

You're using at. At home Internet or something, right?

[Chris Reivers]

So at school I'm sure he doesn't have access to it, but when he uses the home Internet, he does have access to it.

[Mike Fratelloni]

So you have to be careful. Reverse.

[Chris Reivers]

I know. Don't trust me. I'm over the top.

[Mike Fratelloni]

You're from the wrong. You're hearing me in the wrong way. Oh, you're hearing me from a boy who hasn't watched South park at 14, his friends are gonna say, you haven't seen all the seasons of South Park. You haven't seen a set of quadruple GS. They're gonna, they're gonna, they're gonna start questioning him because the rest of the world, his friends have all seen this stuff.

[Chris Reivers]

I have. Not only, not only have I thought about all of that, I already have the perfect. Because we've had talks, right? I've said, hey, my rule is with my two sons. Here's my rule, okay? And I know I'm gonna. Now this is Uncle Reivers preaching to everybody. My rule is with my two sons, you can ask me anything. I will never get mad at you. I will also never make fun of you. Right? Cause sure. Cause boys get older, they mature and there's hair growing from places and they don't know what's going on or whatever. So that's my rule. I will never make fun of you. And you can come and ask me anything and I won't, I won't tell mom, whatever, right? That's my rule. The other thing is I'll say, hey, you're not watching that. Well, but. And I'll say, I don't care what Timmy, Bobby, Billy, Joey is doing. And I'll say, here's the other thing. If your friends ever make fun of you for just the scenario you pointed out, my dad won't let me make me the bad guy. Sure, I don't care. I don't care if everybody on the planet hates me. Trust me, come look at my email inbox.

[Mike Fratelloni]

But what if they just, in polite company of 14 year old boys, they bring up a thing and your kids have no idea about it? Yeah, right. That would be potentially embarrassing. But you could give them a little bit of Internet access and then they want to. When you say you can ask me anything, do you think they're gonna say dad?

[Chris Reivers]

No.

[Mike Fratelloni]

What did Dolly Parton's boobs. They're not gonna ask you that.

[Chris Reivers]

Well, but the other thing is too is I'll just say self deprecating humor is going to get you a long way. I said always beat somebody else to the joke.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Sure.

[Chris Reivers]

Make fun of yourself before they have the chance to make fun of you. It takes the, Is it the air out of their quiver, the arrow out of their quiver, Whatever the line is, that's just the way out of the tires that takes the old farmhouse out

[Mike Fratelloni]

of the ground takes a arrow out of their quiver. Maybe I Like that. I like that. But at some point in time, reverse. I know he's going to be driving. Some point in time, some girl is going to ask him something, have you ever seen this? And he's gonna say, I don't know what that is.

[Pat Fallon]

I don't know.

[Mike Fratelloni]

It's a tough thing when you have boys and girls and you want your kids to experience a little bit of high school. Kind of like a Sixteen Candles version, but not a weird science version, right?

[Chris Reivers]

100%.

[Mike Fratelloni]

You want them to have some party time and you don't want them to only experience life when they go away to college.

[Chris Reivers]

You mentioned Gnome getting grilled. I had to bring up.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Oh, oh, okay.

[Chris Reivers]

Grilled.

[Mike Fratelloni]

That was pretty funny.

[Chris Reivers]

Watch us get sued. But we have to talk about the charade that was Walls, Ellison, and whoever this Lutheran pastor was that showed up yesterday.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Walls got destroyed. Just destroyed.

[Chris Reivers]

Let me ask you a question.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Yes.

[Chris Reivers]

And I asked this to someone that normally sits in that chair when we were recording the show. I said, okay, so let me get this straight. You're asked to come before for a congressional testimony, and you're asked to come here to discuss the rampant fraud that we all know has taken place. That's billions upon billions upon billions of dollars that's been happening for years, if not decades in this state.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Yes.

[Chris Reivers]

And it's being laid out that this was a systemic issue. This wasn't a, oh, we mishandled some paperwork. This wasn't, oh, there was a clerical error. Oh, this was rampant and systemic. And there were layers and tentacles. And there were whistleblowers screaming at the top of their lungs saying, we got a bleeping problem here. And not only were they ignored, in some cases, they were harassed, told to keep their mouths shut, keep pushing the payments through. And those that did raise their hand to raise some concerns had surveillance attached to them. And this absolute clown show of a government meaning Tim Walls and Keith Ellison has the gall to answer that question by saying, well, with all of this ICE intervention here by the president's administration, it's really hampered us from handling Fraud.

[Mike Fratelloni]

What?

[Chris Reivers]

Here's the problem. There's a reason they're saying that they're gaslighting on purpose. Because why? Because it works. That's the whole reason.

[Mike Fratelloni]

That being said, 12 federal attorneys, right? Wasn't it 12 federal.

[Chris Reivers]

Something like that.

[Mike Fratelloni]

12 attorneys quit because they didn't like the thought of us going after Renee Goode's wife as someone who we should go after for involuntary manslaughter or whatever they wanted to prosecute her for. So we did lose some attorneys. We did lose some attorneys, but this was before that. Reverse these crimes. Much of this theft was well before that. You could have caught it in maybe 2019, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 or 25.

[Pat Fallon]

Right?

[Chris Reivers]

I'm trying to find the clip. I'm gonna play this.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Are you gonna play the Nancy Mace clip?

[Chris Reivers]

That's exactly what I'm talking.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Oh, my God. Nancy Mace. That woman knows how to ask some questions, and she doesn't care.

[Chris Reivers]

For those of you that maybe didn't hear this on gl, I only played a portion of this. But the gaslighting, it's gotten so out of hand. And it's obviously a tactic, and it was a strategy being used by Wall. By Ellison. But more importantly, it was especially being used by walls, where he's constantly going with this. I'm just a knucklehead.

[Mike Fratelloni]

I don't really know what he was pretending to be a dope, but he's acting. He's acting.

[Chris Reivers]

This is all an act. And I.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Or he is a dope. One of the two.

[Interviewer]

How much money was spent on autism in Minnesota in 2017?

[Pat Fallon]

Governor, I don't have those numbers in front of me.

[Interviewer]

Congresswoman, did you prepare for this hearing today?

[Chris Reivers]

Did you do anything?

[Pat Fallon]

I take Congress seriously, and you've seen

[Interviewer]

the numbers about autism fraud in Minnesota. So we're going to do some Minnesota math with you today.

[Pat Fallon]

Okay?

[Interviewer]

Are you ready? How much money was spent on 2017 for autism in Minnesota? How much?

[Pat Fallon]

I don't know. I wasn't the governor.

[Interviewer]

Okay, did you not just say that you prepared for this hearing today? $1 million. Okay, a quick Google search or using your AI could tell you $1 million was spent. How much money was spent on autism in Minnesota in 2024?

[Pat Fallon]

I don't have the number in front

[Interviewer]

of me as governor in 2024, I

[Pat Fallon]

was, but I'm not the head of the.

[Interviewer]

Okay, so your excuse. Before that, you didn't know what 2017 autism numbers were because you were not governor, and today you can't answer the numbers about 2024 as governor and you still said you prepared for this hearing today. It's unbelievable. $343 million was spent in 2024. What percent increase is that? From 1 million to 343 million. What percentage increase is that?

[Pat Fallon]

I'm not here to be your prop. Go ahead and tell me.

[Interviewer]

Are you governor of Minnesota or not?

[Pat Fallon]

Yes, I am.

[Chris Reivers]

I'm not.

[Interviewer]

Well, when I'm governor of South Carolina, you can sure as hell bet that I'm going to know the math. The math is 34,200% increase. An increase of 343 times what it was in this time period. Do you know the number of children in Minnesota?

[Pat Fallon]

I know that Minnesota ranked as the top three state for children in the last year.

[Interviewer]

Population in Minnesota?

[Pat Fallon]

5.7 million.

[Interviewer]

Okay. What is the total population of children in Minnesota?

[Pat Fallon]

I don't have the number in front of me right now.

[Interviewer]

Are you governor of Minnesota?

[Pat Fallon]

I know 400,000 were cut out of health care last week by the actions you made.

[Interviewer]

Are you governor of Minnesota?

[Pat Fallon]

I am.

[Interviewer]

And you don't know the number of children residing?

[Pat Fallon]

I don't have the specific number. It's 5.7 million.

[Interviewer]

That's your total.

[Pat Fallon]

What is your age? What is the age? 0 to 5. 0 to 19.

[Interviewer]

We have approximately 1.2 million children in Minnesota. I'm not even governor of South Carolina. Our population in South Carolina is 5.5 million. We have approximately 1.1 million children under the age of 18.

[Chris Reivers]

Here's what I want to say. It's embarrassing that this guy is not in jail.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Well, I don't know if he should be in jail.

[Chris Reivers]

I'm gonna say it.

[Mike Fratelloni]

You can say it. I don't know if he should be in jail.

[Chris Reivers]

You probably shouldn't.

[Mike Fratelloni]

But it's not a thing. It's just.

[Chris Reivers]

Mike.

[Mike Fratelloni]

He's culpable of everything.

[Chris Reivers]

The entire. Okay, maybe.

[Mike Fratelloni]

I promise. She was killing him, by the way,

[Chris Reivers]

but that's just it. But this whole defense of trying to pretend that. Well, I guess I just don't know. That's not. I'm sorry. We have all been ripped off for years. And you're the one who is supposed to be the security guard in front of that. And not only did you not protect that, or protect you or me or anyone else listening to this, how is it not that I should draw the conclusion that you might be part of it? I don't know what the answer is here. My point is this angers me so much because, again, this Freaking clown show of a governor. He wasn't born here. He didn't grow up here, he moved here and then he's the one deciding for me, my family and everyone I care about that were born and raised here, that have lived here their entire lives. You're the one that's making the decisions that are affecting all of us and is single handedly responsible for ruining this state. From a financial perspective, it angers me like you have no idea.

[Mike Fratelloni]

So you're telling me you don't believe that in 2017 there was $1 million spent, but the rash of growth of autism went up 343 times factor of 343 or 34,000% to 343 million in 2024? That is weird.

[Chris Reivers]

It's criminal. It's not weird. It's criminal.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Honest to God, I don't believe that people can do math, that somebody at some auditor, somebody in the government, in our state government, which we have bright, solid, strong willed people, people that are conservative and Democrats and we have great people working for us. Someone didn't say, wait, we spent a million dollars on this horrible disease in 2017 and we have a 343 Time X in 2024. Someone has to raise their hand and say timeout. That math isn't mathing. It just doesn't make sense. And I know that they had whistleblowers and I know that whistleblowers are told to keep quiet. And if I was a whistleblower, I would have gone to the FBI, I would have gone to the CIA, I would have gone to Wisconsin, I would have North Dakota and said, someone help me. Because what we forget about whistleblowers, Reivers. Here's something you forget. If you're a whistleblower and $343 million is found to be fraudulent, you get 30% of that money. You just made $100 million. What would you do as a whistleblower? What would you do? I think I'd call the President. I'd call every senator in every single state and say, hey, we're getting robbed here. Someone needs to listen to me, I need some help.

[Chris Reivers]

Well, and I guess because when I was looking through the various clips yesterday about walls getting basically scorched and I just thought, he's smiling in half of them. And why is that? He knows nothing's going to happen and

[Mike Fratelloni]

nothing's going to happen to him.

[Chris Reivers]

He's out of the office at the end of this year and he's going to walk away with six different pensions and probably some cushy consulting job. There's no chance he's gonna reside in this state.

[Mike Fratelloni]

You don't. Yes, there is. Reivers. What color is the sky? People love him here. People love him.

[Chris Reivers]

Why would he want to stay here? With a consulting gig, paying taxes? He's probably gonna move to Sioux Falls.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Oh, my God, that would be so funny.

[Chris Reivers]

He owns property there.

[Mike Fratelloni]

He doesn't even own property in Minnesota. You know that.

[Chris Reivers]

He owns property in Sioux Falls.

[Mike Fratelloni]

I might be wrong about that, but if I'm not mistaken, I don't think he does. He does not. He may not own property. I know he doesn't own a home is what I'm told.

[Chris Reivers]

Y.

[Mike Fratelloni]

He doesn't have a home. Is I going to ask this? You're going to do a commercial. I'm going to look to see if

[Chris Reivers]

I'm going to play one more clip and I want you to hear it because it was my favorite clip from yesterday. You ready?

[Mike Fratelloni]

Yep.

[Pat Fallon]

The facts are your leadership and really your lack of leadership is. Laura has been responsible for one of the largest rip offs of the American taxpayer in our history. And you traded, I believe, political expediency, the currency of political expediency, for your integrity. And you know, Mr. Chairman, I don't know if you know this, but it's widely, it's been widely reported that in 2008, when Barack Obama was choosing his vice presidential candidate, he had three criteria. He wanted to make sure he picked somebody that wasn't as smart as him and had less talent and charisma and couldn't possibly outshine him. So he picked Joe Biden. And then Joe Biden in 2020 used the exact same criteria. He wanted to make sure he picked somebody wasn't as smart as him, had less talent, charisma, and wouldn't outshine him. And he picked Kamala.

[Chris Reivers]

Her.

[Pat Fallon]

And then in 2024, Governor, I think it's very evident why Kamala Harris picked you. The Tal Pool, Mr. Chairman.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Wow, that was pretty rough.

[Chris Reivers]

That. That is a. I forget. This is. I forget who this is. Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. Representative Pat Fallon is the one that addressed Governor Walz. And when he did that, I said, stand up and take a bow. That is a drop the mic.

[Pat Fallon]

Boom.

[Mike Fratelloni]

You know, it does seem that politicians do not want to have subordinates that are better than them. Right?

[Chris Reivers]

Yeah.

[Mike Fratelloni]

I mean, a direct like your vice president, you don't want them to be the stud where everyone says, ah, they should be vice president. Right. And it's not Impossible to believe that Biden picked Kamala and Kamala picked Walls for that exact reason. You only have to do that a few steps down and you're really dealing with some special people.

[Chris Reivers]

It's why you picked me to be on this show.

[Mike Fratelloni]

That's exactly right. So as of right now, Minnesota Governor Tim Walls does not currently own any real estate in the state of Minnesota, so. Hear that, Reavers? He has no property tax skin in the game at all in this state.

[Progressive Insurance Advertiser]

Nope.

[Mike Fratelloni]

That's weird. That's weird that he. It's like, you know, one of my biggest pet peeves, when people go to be on the school board and they don't have children, it's like, nope, you don't have children. You don't get to be on the school board vote.

[Chris Reivers]

That's weird.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Vote denied. Like, we do not want you to be on the school board if you don't have children.

[Chris Reivers]

Speaking of. Speaking of all of that, resident golf expert here, Chris Reivers. For my friends@quick linksgolf and quicklinksgolf.com here's the deal, ladies and gentlemen. You want to build that golf simulator in your man cave? Well, they are your local golf simulator simulator company. They offer complete installation services. They also sell. And I did look this up. They sell. Mike, this is you.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Yeah, it is.

[Chris Reivers]

DIY packages.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Yeah. Where I could do it myself. I know how to diy.

[Chris Reivers]

This guy here's got a project.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Yes.

[Chris Reivers]

They're a local showroom based in Chaska, Minnesota. Multiple technology options that meet all sorts of different price points. Go online quicklinksgolf.com and you can meet with them while designing a renovation, new home or new office space to ensure the for a great simulator room. And if you go to their website, by the way, very cool. It's a very cool website. They also have all of their recent projects that they have done. It's awesome. It's really cool. And I, again, I'm a casual golf fan. I would 100% do something like this.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Just do me a favor, Reverse.

[Chris Reivers]

Talk to me.

[Mike Fratelloni]

When anybody who's listened to this show or Garagelogic or wherever. Are they on Score North 2? Are they going onto Score North? Did they buy Score North?

[Chris Reivers]

That I don't know.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Let's just pretend they did. If you hear this commercial and you want this and you call Quick Links Golf, tell him Fratelloni sent ya. Cause Reverse isn't playing golf. Was Joe mad when he heard that you got this deal?

[Chris Reivers]

He insulted me to the very degree that you did the other day.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Oh, Good, good, good. Quick links golf. I love it. I love him.

[Chris Reivers]

You're probably gonna do one.

[Mike Fratelloni]

I'm probably gonna call him and say, let's figure it out.

[Chris Reivers]

Right.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Could have probably traded something.

[Chris Reivers]

But book your appointment online. It's free. By the way, hit that free consultation

[Mike Fratelloni]

online Mike sent you.

[Chris Reivers]

Quicklinksgolf. Do please let them know that Fratelloni sent you from the weekly scramble podcast. We will be right back. All right, I got to bring it up. Yes. I don't know what it is because I love all the sports. The high school hockey tournament buzz hasn't really captured me yet, and I don't know why I love the tournament. The Saturday of the high school hockey tournament, I would argue is a top five sports day of the calendar year.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Really?

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, I love it because here's the thing. Whether it's March Madness, right? Like college basketball. I love college basketball more than I like the NBA when sports are being played at its zenith. Right. I think that I just like effort. Again, whether the skill, like, oh, the NBA players are better. I don't give a damn about the NBA players. I like seeing kids giving their best

[Mike Fratelloni]

of the high school kids the best of the college kids.

[Chris Reivers]

And when you watch these kids literally collapsing on the ice because they're so exhausted, I just have such an appreciation for that kind of effort. It just hasn't captured me, and I

[Mike Fratelloni]

don't care about it. I know why.

[Chris Reivers]

Why?

[Mike Fratelloni]

I'll tell you Exactly.

[Chris Reivers]

Because it's 60 degrees outside one. Okay.

[Mike Fratelloni]

But you don't want to go to that complete dump, the complete dump of a stadium, because they need 600 million bucks to fix that because it's such a crap hole. Even though it's so nice. But you're just pissed. Like, I can't go to this dump and watch hockey. Ooh, this is. This is way beneath you, cuz it's such a dump. You should give them state government $600 million to upgrade their stadium. And by the way, I'm probably okay with that.

[Chris Reivers]

Sure.

[Mike Fratelloni]

I don't even really care that much.

[Chris Reivers]

Here's the other thing I've loved. And for those of you that don't follow Chris Long on social media, KSTP sports guy. I think he's a sports director now. I can't remember, but Chris is an awesome guy. And he always tweets out his annual high school hockey tournament. Or picture of. No, like a photo.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Sure, I saw that. Yep, yep.

[Chris Reivers]

And he's like, annual tradition. Cannot believe this is a high school hockey game. And it's Packed, right?

[Mike Fratelloni]

Yes.

[Chris Reivers]

And I remember sending it to some buddies of mine that love sports that don't live in Minnesota. I said, this is a high school hockey game in Minnesota. Like you are freaking kidding me.

[Mike Fratelloni]

And it's cool.

[Chris Reivers]

I said the Saturday of the high school hockey tournament in St. Paul is one of the coolest days of the year.

[Mike Fratelloni]

You gotta get like a war road in there because they travel well. But then you need to Dinah. And you need a chan. Somebody with a ton of people. Right?

[Chris Reivers]

Can I tell you one thing? And boy, I gotta be careful with you with this conversation. Okay, well, because gen. Sorry. Gentry Academy.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Oh, Gentry.

[Chris Reivers]

So they made the tournament. I can't remember. I don't. I think they. I think they lost today, but I can't remember. Anyway, it doesn't matter. But seeing all the people just in complete uproar. Outrage. How. How dare this hockey factory, this made up school be. Be part of this. They're Shattuck St. Mary's but they get to play. I'm thinking, hi, resident hick from Rice county here saying, what about St. Thomas Academy? What about Hill Murray? They're all doing the same thing. Who are you guys kidding?

[Mike Fratelloni]

Even my sweet little cdh all of a sudden you get that kid moved from where? Moved from the east coast to come play hockey here.

[Chris Reivers]

Right?

[Mike Fratelloni]

How did he pick Creighton Durham hall, by the way? Gentry Academy got their asses handed to him. Oh, did they lost five nothing to Minnetonka?

[Chris Reivers]

They did.

[Mike Fratelloni]

They did.

[Pat Fallon]

Oh, wow.

[Chris Reivers]

Okay. I did not know that.

[Mike Fratelloni]

That's a shame.

[Chris Reivers]

I thought they were playing today, but I couldn't remember off the top of my head. But yeah, that's what I always thought that was funny because the hockey coach, was it Tom Vanelli for St. Thomas Academy? Does that sound right?

[Mike Fratelloni]

He used to be Nellis are a big name.

[Chris Reivers]

Yeah, he was a list. So I would do that. Like. Like who in God's name decided that St. Thomas Academy is a class A sport? You're a private school in the metro.

[Mike Fratelloni]

There's probably some kids that go to St. Thomas Academy that play hockey and they play at the rink at their home indoor rink.

[Chris Reivers]

Right.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Where somebody has a rink at their house that their kid plays in.

[Chris Reivers]

But I used to say that on the air and I can't tell you the amount of hate mail I would get. I'm thinking, thinking, who are you defending? Like, again, do I. Do I think they should be thrown out? No, but they have no business being in class A, for crying out loud.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Class 2A is Minnetonka, Gentry Academy, Rosemont, Grand Rapids, Moorhead, Lakeville south, and Edina. Right, so Minnetonka was ranked number one.

[Chris Reivers]

Morehead, do that list again. Let me.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Minnetonka ranked number one. Gentry Academy ranked eighth. That's why they got beat by Minnetonka. Rosemont fourth, Grand Rapids fifth. Morehead was two. I'm reading them in order, not by numbers. Lakeville, Salis was seventh, Edina is ranked third, and Andover, good for Andover, ranked six.

[Chris Reivers]

Well, and didn't Andover wanted a couple years ago, did they not?

[Mike Fratelloni]

I. I think so. We have a store in Andover, and I think there was a bunch of pride for Andover up there.

[Chris Reivers]

I'm trying to. So what I always try to do is, okay, who's my Faribault out of this bunch, right? Us good old boys in Faribault, Minnesota. Like, who's the most relatable?

[Mike Fratelloni]

Lakesville South. It's got to be Grand Rapids.

[Chris Reivers]

Either that or maybe Rosemont.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Rosemont, Yeah, I would think, because it's

[Chris Reivers]

only about, what, 40 minutes away? I don't know.

[Mike Fratelloni]

But it's not Gentry Academy. Even the name, Gentry Academy, it's Buffy. Bill, make sure you put your pads away so they don't stink.

[Chris Reivers]

Someone had tweeted. I don't even know. I'm just making it up because I just. This is exactly why social media is the best. But someone had tweeted out a photo of. I think it had to have been a Super bowl with all the private jets and saying, oh, the Gentry Academy parents about to leave for the game or whatever. Okay, that's pretty fun.

[Mike Fratelloni]

You know what's kind of adorable is all the Dinah parents and Minnetonka parents are like, hey, the heat's off of us because Gentry Academies is in the tournament, so no one's gonna make fun of us having a bunch of money.

[Chris Reivers]

That'll pretty much be the final, right? Minnetaga versus Igaida. Is that pretty much what's gonna happen?

[Mike Fratelloni]

Probably. We gotta see how the bracket plan plays out, but yes.

[Chris Reivers]

Right. Okay. So I guess that's always a fun time of the year. And again, good for St. Paul, right? It's gonna be beautiful all week. Pack the stands, go get some lunch at Casetas, go to Burger Moe's, grab a cocktail and head back into the

[Mike Fratelloni]

ice cream and just start walking around town with your drink. I just, you know, one way or another, I want this to be a St. Paul thing where you just can walk outside with your drink, walk to and from that dump of a stadium, Cause obviously it's a dump because it needs $600 million.

[Chris Reivers]

Yep. Oh, I had. Dang it. I just realized I had an email to read from you, Sherry. Here's the deal. I have your email. I was going to read it on the show, but here's why I'm not gonna read it right now. It's so good, it's gonna cause us to have a long form conversation. So I wanna do it justice, but I forgot I was gonna bring this up. But we'll do it on the next episode, Sherry, I promise you. I know you are such a loyal listener of the weekly scramble podcast, so I don't wanna be disrespectful to the email. I was gonna call. Sherry's awesome.

[Mike Fratelloni]

I was out with Sherry the other day and she said to me, mike, you are the cheapest man in the world. And I said, sherry, I'm not buying it.

[Chris Reivers]

Oh, Jesus.

[Mike Fratelloni]

See how I put her in there? Okay.

[Chris Reivers]

See, I said.

[Mike Fratelloni]

I said, sherry, I'm not buying it. She called me the cheapest man in the world. That was okay because see what I did there?

[Pat Fallon]

Reverse.

[Mike Fratelloni]

I worked her into the story.

[Chris Reivers]

You mixed in content with an ad.

[Mike Fratelloni]

And I wasn't even truly with her.

[Chris Reivers]

We are nuts and we are nuts, man.

[Pat Fallon]

Dot com.

[Chris Reivers]

And we want to mention them again because here's the deal, ladies and gentlemen, I have this right here in front of my fingers here. Hold on, let me pull off my glasses so I can read. Yes, I'm that old. The Maple Bourbon toffee almonds. Oh, my goodness gracious. Folks, they are fantastic. It's a Minnesota family owned company doing small batch fresh roasted nuts right here in Minneapolis. And this, a warm maple sweetness. A smooth, subtle bourbon finish. It's all wrapped around a perfectly roasted almond that gives you that crunch that you can hear. It's sweet, it's toasty, it's got depth and it tastes like dessert and a campfire had a baby. They are dangerously good. Sweet Moses. That's a wonderful line. I love that. But anyway, I love the Maple Bourbon toffee almonds. They're fantastic. Get them at Fratelloni's hardware and garden stores, Mac's Hardware, Lund's and Barley's, Kowalski's markets, Cub Foods, Quick Trip locations, Coburn's and also at County Market.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Can I make a pro tip, please? When you're eating these, the cap comes off and then it's a little cup, right? Put them in the cup and then take the jar and go put it up in the cabinet somewhere.

[Chris Reivers]

That's your serving.

[Mike Fratelloni]

That's your serving.

[Chris Reivers]

Yup.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Otherwise you will sit down and you'll grab a little bourbon and you'll watch a little sports on tv and then

[Chris Reivers]

you'll say, oh, the jar's gone.

[Mike Fratelloni]

I ate the jar.

[Chris Reivers]

I did that with a silo of jumbo cashews watching a football game and I said, oh my God, I ate this whole thing. But they were wonderful.

[Mike Fratelloni]

Worth it. And I wasn't gonna say totally worth it.

[Chris Reivers]

But again, you can also order it [e-mail] Michael Grievers, you are the thank you sir. Appreciate you more than you know.
