Uh we're having uh a writer in town on who is going to give us a a World Cup team comp, AJ, for every team on the Vikings 2026 schedule to try to give us try to teach us a little about uh about the World Cup and and some of these different teams through the prism of the Minnesota Vikings.
I love it. I can't wa I can't wait for that. It's gonna be like a little bit a little more of an unconventional Thor Docks Purple, but uh ahead of a very busy weekend, a lot of stuff going around the around the Twin Cities, whether it's World Cup watch parties, and I know we're gonna talk to Scott here in a second, but um should be a very, very fun kind of like dual part unconventional show.
Les, and lots of stuff going on uh in the Twin Cities right now. I I love going to Brits and and watching the the soccer and uh I I love going to the Scott Fishbowl. So without uh further ado, let's get Mr. Fish on uh to talk about it. Scott, what's up?
Do you have us? Are you loud and clear? I am loud and clear. What's going on?
Guys. Well, y you have a big event here in town tomorrow, which we're gonna talk about in a second. Uh, but for the chunk of the audience, there's gonna be a a big chunk of the audience that knows what the fishbowl is and and some of them who of course have played in the the fishbowl, but for those that that aren't aware of what the fishbowl is, just give us a little quick uh cliff notes, spark notes version of the fishbowl, the genesis of it, where it has come, where it's where it is now.
Sure. This is a this is year sixteen of a fantasy charity tournament that I've been running. Uh it started out as a reader slash listener listener league for the site I ran many, many years ago. But after a few years, I realized it could be something big. I was getting fans to play with analysts, to play with celebrities and former athletes and Uh in uh And about five years into trying to make this thing happen, I had a heart attack and I realized I want everything I do to have purpose now.
