Ryz

Ryz was a rock band that performed mostly in the Los Angeles area in the late 1980's and early 1990's. Chris Hawkey was the lead singer of the band that also included a bass player named Gary. They recorded such songs as "The Distance", "Wicked Ways", and "Wild Ones"

Ryz ultimately broke up when offered the opportunity to go on tour opening for Gorky Park. Hawkey thought it was a great opportunity but other members did not want to leave their day jobs, so they went their separate directions.
Lt Col Mark Weber

Mark Weber (1971 - 2013) was a Lieutenant Colonel in the US Army and served for the National Guard. He passed away at age 41 after a courageous battle with cancer.

## PowerTrip Appearances

Mark appeared multiple times on the PowerTrip to discuss his book "Tell My Sons". He wrote it as a letter to his sons to communicate his wisdom to them after he was gone. One of his favorite quotes about himself was that he "Had high aspirations and low expectations".
Stevie Wonder Can See

Stevie Wonder Can See is an American Rock Band from St. Louis Park, Minnesota.

## History

The band was created on January 7th, 2020 when the PowerTrip morning show decided to start rocking out together.  Cory  was unable to play  guitar in his own house, due to noise complaints from his wife, so Chris  graciously offered to let him play in his band's practice space.  Initially Chris was just going to offer to give Cory his drum set that was collecting dust in his basement.  Chris' basement was getting to the point of needing a Hoarders intervention so he was desperate to make some room.  Cory liked the idea but shared that his real issue was that he was not allowed to plug in his electric guitar since he feared Godzilla may rise again in the form of his wife, so the drums would likely meet similar resistance.  Chris had the brilliant idea that they could use his band's pre-existing rental practice room to allow Cory to play his guitar whenever he would like.  Chris then suggested that they just start a band and the whole show quickly agreed that was a great idea.  Paul "Meatsauce" Lambert quickly tried out for lead vocals as he had previous experience in the band "Meatsauce and the Whalers".  Paul also came up with the band name Stevie Wonder Can See since he had just heard Shaquille O'Neal accuse Stevie Wonder of being able to see when Stevie said "Hey Diesel" to Shaq in an elevator before Shaq had said anything.

## Band Members

* Chris Hawkey - drums, vocals
* Cory Cove - lead guitar
* Paul "Meatsauce" Lambert - vocals
* John Bonnes - keyboards

## Discography

TBD but they will start with a cover of Blinding Light by The Weeknd.
Topher Grace

Topher Grace is an actor who is universally regarded as the least favorite guest in the history of the PowerTrip. He was in studio in 2011 to promote the movie "Take Me Home Tonight" (27% on Mr. Z's favorite website Rotten Tomatoes). He came across as very smug and disinterested, despite Cory Cove telling him that he predicted Topher would win an Oscar within 2 years. He didn't.

The Predictors

The Predictors was a Thursday segment on the PowerTrip that has been retired.

## Segment Format

Chris Hawkey would ask various questions related to sports and each of the panel had to predict either a score, outcome or result of the item in question., The usual panel consisted of Cory Cove, Paul "Meatsauce" Lambert, Mark Rosen, and Justin Gaard.

No score was ever kept, and the predictions made were almost never referenced again.

## Predictors Opens

Paul "Meatsauce" Lambert was responsible for creating openings for the Predictors segment each week. These consisted of mostly parody songs purposely sung off-key. Several of the opens made reference to Hawkey's Sister.

Paul was often accused of "mailing it in" with his opens, to the point that he was often threatened with cancellation. He totally redeemed himself with the epic Bohemian Saucesody in October of 2013, establishing a high water mark in the history of his opens.

## Death of the Predictors

The final Predictors segment aired on December 10, 2015.
Digital Underground

**90's R&B group lead by Humpty, with its most popular song being 'The Humpty Dance'**

## South Padre Island Incident

When Cory Cove was on spring break in college, Digital Underground was staying in the same hotel. Humpty was caught having sex in the lobby and subsequently thrown out. So like the famous lyrics, "Once got Busy in a Burger King bathroom" Humpty apparently likes to get busy with it just about anywhere.
Kevin McDermott

Kevin McDermott (b. 1-12-1990) is a long-snapper for the Minnesota Vikings.

## PowerTrip history

Kevin frequently appears in studio on off-days for the Vikings. One of the recurring bits is someone directing a question at him, and following his answer, the "Nobody asked you, Kevin!" button is played.

Kevin lost part of his finger in a 2018 game and is frequently the target of jokes for his mishap. He has shown pictures of the injuries to the PowerTrip crew, much to their queasiness. When Kevin does something good, Cory Cove will often give a rating of 9 3/4 out of 10.

Kevin incorrectly thinks the Nashville Predators are better than the Minnesota Wild.

His "backup" long-snapper is PowerTrip friend David Morgan.
PowerTrip Vegas 2019

PowerTrip Vegas 2019 is the annual journey of the PowerTrip and guests to Las Vegas for live broadcasts. The 2019 trip officially runs from March 27-31.

Andee "My Good Friend" Byford will make his first appearance in Las Vegas.

The Minnesota Wild will battle the Las Vegas Golden Knights at T-Mobile Center on Friday, March 29th.

Listener Derek Bergee hit a $100 four team parlay for $26,194.60. The highest four team payout in Planet Hollywood history.

## Drink List

Each member of the PowerTrip has to come up with their drink for the trip. The plan is for everyone who sticks around after Friday's show to consume one of each drink.

Harmon Killebrew

Harmon Killebrew (6-29-1936 to 5-17-2011) was a Hall of Fame baseball player for the Minnesota Twins who hit 573 home runs.

Chris Hawkey once bought a framed photo of Killebrew at a charity auction he attended. When he brought home the photo, his wife Kim informed him that he would not be hanging the photo in their house. The photo was placed in the Hawkey basement, and has since vanished completely. Chris seems to believe that Kim threw it out. Chris would still like to hang the photo in a backyard shed if he ever finds and builds the shed.
Fookey

Fookey is a heavy metal band consisting of Chris Hawkey, Mark Parrish, and Pete Bercich and several other "real musicians" as Hawkey states. The name Fookey derives from a combination of "Football" and "Hockey", since those sports were played professionally by members Bercich and Parrish, respectively.
True Superstar

True Superstar was a segment at the end of the PowerTrip that was done to honor a U.S. Service Member that was killed in the line of duty. "Superstar" Mike Morris would read the name of the Service Member along with their age, and the location and date of where they were killed.

The segment was retired when Morris left the show in 2012.
Smitty Oom

## Origin

On June 23rd, 2015, Meatsauce mentioned his buddy "Smitty Oom". When asked about the name, Paul explained that there are a lot of guys named Smitty, and that he and his friends just added the Oom. Within ten minutes, the @OomSmitty Twitter account was created.

## OomSmitty on Twitter

The @OomSmitty Twitter account is best known for its Photoshopped references to events that occur on the PowerTrip show and Minnesota sports in general. Smitty and Cardboard Charlie (@cardboardchuck) are both responsible for many humorous images of Mark Rosen, Mark Parrish, and other guests, usually in some reference to something that was said on the show that day.

## The "Real" Smitty Oom

Smitty Oom is the most frequently referenced of Paul's many Friends. He goes by many names, but his real name is Pat Rosengren. If you listen to Paul's stories, you might think that Pat is always high, but it turns out that the real Smitty Oom is a family man, with a son named Charlie. It is unknown if Charlie was named after the man who runs the PowerTrip Bets or the OomSmitty Twitter accounts.

## The man behind the Twitter account

The @OomSmitty Twitter account is run by a high school math teacher named Chuck.

As a 12th grader, a young A.J. Mansour took Chuck's AP Calculus class. One day, during class, A.J.'s desk collapsed, and he was temporarily trapped in the desk.

Chuck was chosen as one of the teachers to participate in the "Fist Fight" promotion on the PowerTrip morning show. Both Chuck and the teacher with whom he was competing were using the internet to try and win the competition. Because of this, Chuck is known as the "cheating teacher," and is the reason that contests like this are now settled by the contestants choosing PowerTrip members to represent them in the game.
Bohemian Saucesody

Bohemian Saucesody is a song performed by Paul "Meatsauce" Lambert. It's a full-length parody of the classic rock song "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen. Gregg Swedberg wrote the lyrics for the song, and Dave Allen helped record and sing it. Barb "Lil B" Hueser also provided additional vocals.

## Background

Each week, Paul did some type of song parody as an opening for The Predictors segment. Often, these songs hilariously showed a total lack of effort, prompting Cory Cove and Chris Hawkey to threaten to cancel the opens altogether. It all reached a head on October 17, 2013, when Paul was given a last chance to redeem himself or face the end of his opens.

With Mark Rosen and Justin Gaard in studio waiting to do the Predictors segment, Bohemian Saucesody was played to much laughter and widespread approval. Paul was allowed to continue to do Predictors opens indefinitely.

## Popular Lines

**"My name is Meatsauce, nobody loves me. He's just an idiot from a rich family."** A reference to Paul's Minnetonka upbringing.

**"Oh Tenna-B-ah, Tenna-B-ah. Tenna-B-ah let me go."** A reference to Brandon Mileski, also called Tenna-B.
Jacques Lemaire

Jacques Lemaire (b. 9-7-1945) is an NHL Hall of Fame player and coach. He won 8 Stanley Cups as a player and 1 as a coach. He was known for a strong defensive style of hockey as a coach.

## Our Jacques

Our Jacques is a Lemaire impression voiced by Cory Cove who frequently "calls in" to the PowerTrip to discuss hockey topics. Our Jacques reminisces about his former favorite players like "Booch" and "Burns". He feels that anything more than 1 goal scored in a game is too much, and reminds everyone that you have to "score goals, guys". He often reminds the guys that the wild need to "skate hard" and "move the puck through the zone".  Our Jacques has difficulty understanding how a basic phone works, often pushing numbers in an attempt to make another call before hanging up with the PowerTrip.

## Relationship with Mark Parrish

Mark Parrish played 2 seasons for Lemaire when he was coach of the Minnesota Wild. Lemaire's defense-first philosophy was sometimes at-odds with Parrish's offensive-minded skills as a Right Wing. This led to Parrish occasionally being a healthy scratch. Parrish often clashes with Our Jacques during calls about their history together. Our Jacques also likes to poke fun at the idea of Parrish being a hockey coach.
Jerry Kill

Jerry Kill (b. August 24, 1961) is a former head coach of the Minnnesota Gophers.

One of the passengers falls out of the boat, causing Jennie to unleash a series of quotes in response.

## Famous Quotes

**"Come Down Later for Moose Soup!"** This is generally played without context, or after one of Jennie's other quotes is played.

"**You Guys Are Doing Good!"** This is often played after someone makes a good guess or smart statement.

**"Dirty Bitch!"** Often played when something goes wrong, either in-studio or about a story they are talking about. Chris Hawkey sells a T-Shirt that simply says "Dirty Bitch".

## Disappearance

In 2016 she left iHeartMedia and KFAN. It was originally reported that she had left for a new career opportunity. However, in a recent video released on Twitter featuring Paul "Meatsauce" Lambert, he claimed she had passed as he threw away a gift from her.

After public outcry of this terrible loss, V-rod herself "liked" a tweet mourning her loss of life. Much to our relief, this would lead us to believe the rumors of her demise were greatly exaggerated.
Paul Charchian

He hosts two shows on KFAN, Fantasy Football Weekly (during the football season) and Video Games Weekly (on Tuesday nights when the Wild aren't playing).

## Initials Game

A.J.'s brief departure from KFAN was the inspiring force for the creation of the Initials Game. Cory Cove wanted to send A.J. off with a fun game, so he created the concept as a one-time event and called it the "A.J. Game". The initials for that first game were "AJ". The game was a hit and continued to be played as the Initials Game. A.J. returned to KFAN after a brief 2-week absence.

## Untimely Demise

According to psychic Vincent Genna, after A.J. passed in a car accident that didn't exist, he continues to haunt the studio by randomly turning off and on lights. This behavior is a manifestation of A.J.'s notorious "practical joker" reputation.

Faithfully

## Hawkey sings to Coach Zimmer

In 2014, Chris Hawkey accompanied Paul Allen to Winter Park for an interview with Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer. They met Coach Zimmer and Bob Hagan in Zim's office. Zimmer's mood was described as "owly", but the coach had an obligation to do the interview.

Before the interview began, PA told the coach that he had to hear Hawkey sing. Zimmer was less than enthusiastic, and PA proceeded to conduct the interview. Hawkey felt he had dodged the bullet.

When the interview was over, PA again insisted for Zimmer to give him 2 minutes, stating "Coach, you gotta hear this guy sing!". Zimmer agreed, and Hawkey was put on the spot to sing a capella to the coach. The only song that came to his mind was "Faithfully", which he proceeded to sing, uncomfortably, to a room of 3 adult men. Upon completion of the song, Zimmer gave Hawkey an approving fist bump.

After they left Zimmer's office, PA said "Wasn't that great?" unaware of the awkwardness of the situation for everyone involved. Hawkey has stated that it was a good thing he didn't have a gun or there may have been a murder/suicide.

Fantasy Charch Challenge

The Fantasy Charch Challenge is a fantasy football-style game played by the PowerTrip during the NFL season. There are no awards for the winners of the challenge, but losers face punishments at the end of the season.

## Game Structure

Each week, Paul Charchian gives the contestants a list of players to select from. There is generally a theme to the list (top QB's, second-tier RB's, etc.). Each contestant selects a player from a designated order that rotates each week. The contestant receives points based upon the player's performance as follows:

Rushing/Receiving Yards: 1 point per 10 yards (yardage totals are combined)

Passing Yards: 1 point per 30 yards

Rushing/Receiving TDs: 6 points per TD

Passing TDs: 4 points per TD

2 points per 2-point conversion passing/rushing/receving

Scores are cumulative throughout the year, so the weekly loser does not matter. At the end of the year, the losers are whoever finishes in last place plus anyone who lost to the Ghost player.

## Ghost Player

The Ghost player is a fictional player who always gets the last selection of a player each week. This score is tallied throughout the year and if any of the contestants lose to the Ghost, they are subject to the punishment even if they beat out other contestants. Potentially all contestants could face the punishment if the Ghost outscored everyone.

## Punishment History

This is a list of each of the punishments served by the loser(s) of the Fantasy Charch Challenge.

When questionable content is found in recent online searches on studio computers, or when garbage or assorted foodstuffs are left on desks, Dan Barreiro is often given credit for them, due to his (misplaced) reputation for messiness and inappropriate workplace behavior.

## ¡BARREIRO!

The proper way to greet Dan if you ever see him or refer to him is by loudly shouting his last name "¡BARREIRO!". The PowerTrip has encouraged listeners to shout ¡BARREIRO! at just about any occasion. This has led to such incidents as a fan calling into the Packer's Green and Gold Postgame show and yelling "¡BARREIRO!"

Roberta Anne Montgomery (Jacksonville Jaguars Lady)

Roberta Anne Montgomery (a.k.a. Jacksonville Jaguars Lady) is a viral video star who was interviewed about the Jaguars by a reporter. Her blunt answers and "eye bleep" of the camera led to her fame, and her quotes are often played on the PowerTrip.

## Famous Quotes

**"Certainly not"** After the reporter asks Roberta if she is surprised that the Jaguars have the best draft picks, she responded with a dismissive grunt followed by "Certainly not!". This is the most-played quote, and can be used in any context where the answer is no.

**"Took it to the limit"** Roberta says that in their first year, the Jaguars "Took It to the Limit". The Jaguars actually went 4-12 their first year, but made the AFC Championship in their second year. This could also be a nod to the Eagles song "Take it to the Limit".

**"Well, it was a couple minutes from the beach"** Roberta tells the reporter that she was in Miami at her new beach house. Then, in a moment of unprompted honesty, she admits "Well, it was a couple minutes from the beach."

**"Steal the show"** The reporter indicates that the in the past few years, the Jaguars haven't been as strong. Roberta refutes this, stating that they've just been playing by the rules, and that you "...can't have a newcomer come in and (pause and "eye bleep") steal the show".
