>>> RED LAKE NATION HELD THEIR ANNUAL STATE OF THE BAND ADDRESS EARLIER TODAY, WITH THE TAGLINE, "BELIEVE YOUR EYES, AND NOT THE U.S.

GOVERNMENTS LIES".

OUR REPORTER, MATTHEW FREEMAN, ATTENDED THE EVENT THIS MORNING, AND HAS MORE DETAILS ABOUT HOW THE BAND HAS GROWN IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR, AS WELL AS THE BANDS PLANS FOR THE FUTURE.

>> Reporter: IN THE BEGINNING OF DONALD TRUMP'S SECOND TERM IN OFFICE, HE ISSUED CUTS IN FUNDING FOR TRIBAL NATIONS.

FOR RED LAKE NATION, THOSE FUNDS HELPED FUND SEVERAL PROGRAMS IN THE RESERVATION, INCLUDING THE BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS, EDUCATION, AND HEALTH SERVICES.

HE BELIEVES THESE FUNDS ARE THE NATION'S RIGHT UNDER THE TREATY SIGNED BY CONGRESS.

>> TRUMP OVERRULED CONGRESS.

IT REMAINS IF AND WHEN THESE FUNDS WILL BE RESTORED.

THIS IS WHAT THE GOVERNMENT PROMISED US.

IT'S BROKEN PROMISES.

>> Reporter: CONGRESS REJECTED THAT PROPOSAL FROM TRUMP, HE BELIEVES THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION THAT IS EXACTLY WHY THE RED LAKE COUNCIL PASSED A RESOLUTION BANNING CUSTOM ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS FROM ENTERING THE RESERVATION.

>> BELIEVE YOUR EYES, NOT THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT'S LIES.

>> Reporter: DUE TO FEDERAL POLITICAL TENSIONS, THEY HAVE SEEN A DECLINE IN VISITORS TO THE BAND'S THREE CASINOS.

>> AT ONE POINT, WE SAW CANADIAN TRIPS DECREASE 65% FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR.

>> Reporter: DESPITE THE DROP OF VISITORS, THE CASINO REPORTED AN INCREASE IN REVENUE THROUGH 2025.

>> TOTAL REVENUE ACROSS OUR THREE CASINOS WITH RED LAKE, WARROAD, AND THIEF RIVER FALLS ACTUALLY GREW 2%.

>> Reporter: THEY WANTED TO REESTABLISH THE BOUNDARY OF THE RESERVATION.

30% OF THE EAST BOUNDARY OF UPPER RED LAKE WAS UNLAWFULLY TAKEN BE THE U.S.

IN 1889.

HE ANNOUNCED THEIR INTENTION IN 2023 BUT SEEN LITTLE HELP WITH THEIR MISSION FROM THE STATES.

>> NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IS THE PART OF UPPER AND LOWER RED LAKE.

>> Reporter: MOST ENDED THEIR SPEECHES WITH CALLS FOR UNITY BETWEEN ALL BAND MEMBERS TO STAND AGAINST THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, SOMETHING THAT THE BAND IS NO STRANGER TO.

>> WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN STRONG AGAINST THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

WE WILL NEVER SEE CONTROL OF THIS LAND.

PEOPLE WILL NEVER STOP LIVING OUR WAY OF LIFE.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO SPEAK OUR LANGUAGE.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO PRACTICE OUR CEREMONIES.

IF THIS IS WHAT MAKES US ANISHINAABE FROM RED LAKE.

>> Reporter: REPORTING FROM RED LAKE, I'M MATTHEW FREEMAN, LAKELAND NEWS.

>> THE RED LAKE TRIBAL COUNCIL POSTED A FULL LIST ON THEIR FACEBOOK PAGE, OF THE PRELIMINARY CANDIDATES FOR THE UPCOMING GENERAL ELECTION FOR THE BAND HAPPENING ON MAY 20TH.

>>> A FORMER MINNESOTA STATE SENATOR CHARGED IN CONNECTION WITH AN UNDERAGE PROSTITUTION STING, NOW HAS A SCHEDULED TRIAL DATE.

FORMER STATE SENATOR JUSTIN EICHORN HAD PLEADED NOT GUILTY TO ONE FEDERAL CHARGE OF ATTEMPTED COERCION OR ENTICEMENT OF A MINOR.

ON TUESDAY, A JUDGE DENIED EICHORN'S MOTION TO DISMISS THE CHARGE AND SET A TRIAL DATE OF MARCH 30.

THE FORMER REPUBLICAN STATE SENATOR FROM GRAND RAPIDS, RESIGNED LAST YEAR AFTER HE WAS ARRESTED IN MARCH AFTER ALLEGEDLY ARRANGING TO MEET UP WITH AN UNDERCOVER OFFICER POSING AS A TEENAGE GIRL.

OTHER MOTIONS FROM THE DEFENSE TO SUPPRESS STATEMENTS AND EVIDENCE WERE ALSO DENIED.

EICHORN AND THIRTEEN OTHER MEN WERE ARRESTED IN AN UNDERCOVER CHILD PROSTITUTION STING IN BLOOMINGTON LAST MARCH.

>>> A MAN CHARGED WITH MURDER OF A MINNESOTA LAW MAKER HAD HIS FIRST HEARING IN FEDERAL COURT.

VANCE BOELTER, IS CHARGED WITH FEDERAL STALKING AND POSSESSION AND USE OF A FIREARM.

ON JUNE 14 OF LAST YEAR, BOELTER ALLEGEDLY USED A REALISTIC SILICONE MASK, FAKE POLICE PLATES, AND BODY ARMOR IN AN ATTACK AGAINST TWO DEMOCRATIC STATE LAWMAKERS.

PROSECUTORS SAID HE VISITED THE HOMES OF AT LEAST FOUR PUBLIC OFFICIALS ON THE NIGHT HE ALLEGEDLY ENTERED THE HOME OF DEMOCRATIC STATE REPRESENTATIVE MELISSA HORTMAN AND HER HUSBAND MARK HORTMAN WHO WERE BOTH FATALLY SHOT.

DEMOCRATIC STATE SENATOR JOHN HOFFMAN AND HIS WIFE YVETTE WERE ALSO INJURED IN A SHOOTING AT THEIR HOME.

POLICE ARRESTED BOELTER IN GREEN ISLE, MINNESOTA AFTER A TWO DAY MANHUNT.

FEDERAL PROSECUTORS ARE STILL WORKING TO DETERMINE IF THEY WILL SEEK THE DEATH PENALTY AGAINST BOELTER.

THE RESIDENTS OF THE AITKIN SCHOOL DISTRICT WILL BE VOTING ON A REFERENDUM THIS UPCOMING APRIL.

THE REFERENDUM IS FOCUSED ON REPLACING RIPPLESIDE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WITH A NEW SCHOOL THAT WOULD FULLY MEET STUDENTS HEALTH, SAFETY, AND EDUCATIONAL NEEDS.

REPORTER MILES WALKER HAS THE STORY.

>> Reporter: DISTRICT VOTERS REJECTED THE VOTE ON THE REFERENDUM AND NOW AITKIN PUBLIC SCHOOLS IS PRESENTING A 33% LOWER TAX IMPACT.

>> I WENT BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD A LITTLE BIT AND WE MADE SOME CHANGES.

WE ARE GOING TO COMBINE SOME SPACES.

WE TOOK OUT THE DEDICATED LUNCHROOM AND WE'RE GOING TO USE THE COMMONS ENTRANCE, KIND OF LIKE WE SET UP IN THE HIGH SCHOOL.

>> Reporter: THERE WILL BE 3 SEPARATE QUESTIONS ON THE BALLOT FOR VOTERS TO DECIDE ON.

THE FIRST CONCERNS WERE PLACING RIPPLE SIDE, AND THE ADDITIONAL BUS STORY, AND AN ADDITIONAL GYM.

>> WE REDUCED TO IT TO HAVING SPACES FOR THE BUSES ON ROUTE EVERY DAY.

WE WILL MAINTAIN OUR CURRENT SPACE TO HAVE OUR OVERFLOW, OUR EXTRACURRICULAR BUSES AND THEN THE THIRD QUESTION, WE REDUCE A COMMUNITY SET UP TO ADDING A THIRD GYM SPACE.

>> Reporter: HE BELIEVES A NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WOULD BRING IMPROVED CLASSROOMS AND STUDENT SUPPORT, ENHANCE SAFETY FOR YOUNG CHILDREN, ACCESSIBILITY FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES, HEALTHIER SPACES AND ENERGY SAVINGS, AND A MORE EFFICIENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM.

>> WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT THIS FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

WE HAVE GONE BACK TO OUR STRATEGIC PLAN.

THEY RAN A BUILDING REFERENDUM AND IT FAILED.

WE DID REMODELING TO THE HIGH SCHOOL.

THE HIGH SCHOOL HAD SOME REMODELING TO LOOK AT REPLACING THE ELEMENTARY BUILDING.

THAT MOMENTUM PICKED UP TWO YEARS AGO NOW.

>> Reporter: THEY HAVE THE AVERAGE AGE AT JUST OVER 55 YEARS, WITH SPECIFIC SECTIONS OF RIPPLE SIDE EXCEEDING 60 YEARS AND OTHERS REACHING 70 YEARS.

HE IS HOPEFUL THAT CHANGE WILL COME, NOT ONLY FOR RIPPLE SIDE BUT THE AITKIN COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE.

>> IT WILL BE A PROPERTY IN THE CITY, OUR QUESTION WOULD BE BRINGING INFRASTRUCTURE OUT TO THAT LAND.

THERE ARE 220 ACRES, THAT WOULD OPEN UP SOME HOUSING FOR THE COMMUNITY, WHICH IS SOMETHING WE DRASTICALLY NEED.

I'M LOOKING AT THIS AS THE FUTURE FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND HELP WITH THE FUTURE OF AITKIN AND THE SURROUNDING AREA.

>> Reporter: REPORTING FROM AITKIN, MILES WALKER, LAKELAND NEWS.

>> EARLY VOTING FOR THE REFERENDUM WILL BE HELD ON FEBRUARY 27TH, WITH ELECTION DAY BEING HELD ON APRIL 14TH.

>>> IT IS A DECISION REVERBAERATING THROUGH THE GLOBAL ECONOMY, AND A BLOW TO PRESIDENT TRUMPS ECONOMIC AGENDA AND FOREIGN POLICY.

THE SUPREME COURT HAS RULED THAT TRUMPS SWEEPING GLOBAL TARIFFS ARE ILLEGAL.

KARIN CAIFA IS IN WASHINGTON WITH WHAT THIS MEANS FOR CONSUMERS.

>> Reporter: IN THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CASE INVOLVING THE U.S.

ECONOMY TO REACH THE JUSTICES IN DECADES, THE SUPREME COURT RULED THAT PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP VIOLATED FEDERAL LAW WHEN HE UNILATERALLY IMPOSED SWEEPING TARIFFS AROUND THE GLOBE.

THE 3-6 MAJORITY OPINION WRITTEN BY CHIEF JUSTICE JOHN ROBERTS SAID THE POWER MUST BE GRANTED BY CONGRESS AND THE EMERGENCY AUTHORITY THAT TRUMP RELIES ON FALLS SHORT.

IT IS A BLOW TO TRUMP'S FOREIGN POLICY.

>> THIS IS MORE OF A SYMBOL OF ECONOMIC NATIONAL SECURITY.

>> Reporter: THE COURT ONLY STRUCK DOWN ONE AVENUE FOR TRUMP'S TARIFF PLAN.

>> WE SHOULDN'T THINK THAT THE TOPIC OF TARIFF IS GOING AWAY SOMEHOW, EVEN BEYOND POTENTIAL LAWSUIT.

THE PRESIDENT HAS A NUMBER OF WAYS HE CAN CONTINUE TO TRY AND PUSH FOR TARIFFS AND IMPACT LEVIES.

SO WE'LL BE WATCHING FOR THAT.

>> Reporter: FOR CONSUMERS, IMMEDIATE RELIEF FROM THE DECISION IS UNLIKELY BECAUSE THE COURT DID NOT GIVE ANY GUIDANCE ON WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN TO THE TARIFF REVENUE ALREADY COLLECTED.

>> IF REFUNDS ARE ISSUED, THEY WILL BE ISSUED TO FIRMS AND YOU'RE DEPENDING ON THEM TO PASS THOSE TO THE CONSUMERS.

>> Reporter: FEDERAL DATA SHOWED THEY COLLECTED $134 BILLION IN REVENUE FROM THE TARIFFS THAT WERE STRUCK DOWN.

IN WASHINGTON, I'M KARIN CAIFA.

>> EARLIER THIS EVENING PRESIDENT TRUMP SIGNED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT WILL IMPOSE TEN PERCENT TARIFFS ON ALL IMPORTS FROM ALL COUNTRIES.

[♪♪♪] >> STILL TO COME ON LAKELAND NEWS AT 10:00.

>> Stacy: WE'LL HAVE A MIX OF CLOUDS AND SUNSHINE AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE WEEKEND, BUT TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO BE COOLER.

I'LL HAVE YOUR FORECAST IN A FEW MINUTES.

>> COMING UP AFTER THE BREAK IN THIS [♪♪♪] >> AND NOW LAKELAND NEWS AT 10:00.

[♪♪♪] >>> A LOCAL PUBLICATION RECENTLY RECEIVED MULTIPLE TOP HONORS AT AN EVENT HELD IN BROOKLY PARK.

THE PIONEER WON FIRST PLACE IN GENERAL EXCELLENCE AND SPORTS REPORTING AMONG MULTI DAY PAPERS.

ITS WEBSITE WAS ALSO RECONIZED AND RECEIVED SECOND PLACE AMONG MULTI-DAY PAPERS.

MULTIPLE OTHER AWARDS WERE GIVEN FOR PHOTOGRAPHY, REPORTING, SUD SAMROSE WITH BEAUTIFUL SUNSHINE OVER LOWER RED LAKE TODAY.

RALPH IN JENKINS, 18 THIS AFTERNOON.

ARLENE IN MENAHGA, WINDY, CLOUDY, AND SOME SUNSHINE TODAY.

ANGELA IN CASS LAKE, CLOUDY WITH SOME SCATTERED FLURRIES AND A HIGH OF 20.

ON OUR ALMANAC, 23 WAS OUR HIGH TEMPERATURE IN BRAINERD.

WE FELL SHORT OF OUR AVERAGE HIGH OF 29.

13 WAS THE LOW AND WE HAD SUNSET AT 5:50.

WE ARE SEEING BELOW AVERAGE TEMPERATURES.

1 DEGREE FOR OUR LOW TEMP AND WE HAD SUNRISE AT 7:16.

LOOKING AT TOMORROW'S FORECAST, WE DO START OUT WITH A MIX OF CLOUDS AND SUNSHINE TOMORROW MORNING, AND THEN AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE DAY, WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE THAT MIX OF CLOUDS AND SUN.

AS FAR AS OUR TEMPERATURES GO, COOLER TEMPS AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND, FOSSTON LOOKING AT 10 TOMORROW, BUT WE SHOULD BE SEEING A LOT OF MID TO MAYBE SOME UPPER TEENS ACROSS THE REST OF NORTHERN MINNESOTA.

HEADING INTO THE CENTRAL PART OF THE STATE, WE SHOULD ALSO BE SEEING THOSE TEMPERATURES MAINLY IN THE MID TO UPPER TEENS, BUT THERE ARE A FEW LOCATIONS THAT COULD BE CLOSE TO 20.

SO OUR FORECAST FOR TONIGHT, MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES, LOWS DROPPING TO 3, WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS AT 5 TO 15.

PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND NORTHWEST WINDS 5 TO 15.

THE REST OF THE WEEKEND FORECAST CONTINUES TO BE QUIET AND PRETTY CHILLY.

WE ARE LOOKING AT HIGHS IN THE TEENS SUNDAY AND AGAIN INTO MONDAY, AND WE COULD SEE TEMPERATURES SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING AS COLD AS -9.

OUR TEMPS START TO RECOVER EARLY NEXT WEEK, BUT WE DO HAVE CHANCES OF SNOW BOTH TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

BACK TO YOU.

>> Josh: ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH STACY.

CHARLIE JOINS US AND ANOTHER BUSY NIGHT WITH SPORTS.

>> Charlie: ABSOLUTELY.

IT'S A BUSY NIGHT.

WE HAVE WARROAD PLAYING FOR THE CHANCE TO GO BACK TO THEIR FIFTH STRAIGHT STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, TRYING TO WIN THEIR FOURTH STATE CHAMPIONSHIP IN FIVE YEARS AND THEY ARE PLAYING DODGE COUNTY THAT BEAT THEM IN LAST YEAR'S CHAMPIONSHIP.

COULD THEY GET THEM BACK THIS TIME?

WE HAVE THE HIGHLIGHT FROM THAT COMING UP AFTER THE BREAK.

[♪♪♪] >> AND NOW YOUR LOCAL SPORTS WITH CHARLIE YAEGER.

[♪♪♪] >> YEAH, I WANT TO PLAY DODGE COUNTY.

I THINK WE OWE IT TO THEM, MAKE THEM FEEL LIKE HOW WE FELT LAST YEAR.

>> Charlie: THAT WAS SENIOR TAYLOR AFTER WARROAD GIRLS HOCKEY BEAT LUVERNE IN WEDNESDAY'S QUARTERFINAL, BEFORE SHE KNEW WHO THEY'D BE PLAYING IN THE SEMIS.

A YEAR AGO, DODGE COUNTY BEAT THE WARRIORS 4-3 IN OVERTIME IN THE CLASS A CHAMPIONSHIP, ENDING THEIR CHANCE AT A HISTORIC 4TH STRAIGHT STATE TITLE.

WELL, DODGE COUNTY IS EXACTLY WHO WARROAD GOT, IT'S THE TWO TEAMS THIRD CONSECUTIVE MEETING AT THE STATE TOURNEY, WARRIORS BEAT THE WILDCATS IN THE TITLE GAME IN 2024.

NOW THIS ONE HAD AN AIR OF “BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR”, DODGE HAD A TWO-GOAL LEAD AFTER THE FIRST PERIOD, SCORING 1ST WAS BRYN SPRITER, THE OTHER GOAL FROM KYLIE MEYER.

JUST 13-SECONDS INTO THE SECOND, REESE, CUTS THE LEAD IN HALF, SHE GOT SOME BOOS FROM THE WILDCAT FAITHFUL WHEN SHE SKATED ONTO THE ICE, DEFINITELY VILLAIN IN THIS ONE.

50-SECONDS LATER, SPRITER, TRYING TO BE THE HERO FOR THE WILDCATS, ANSWERS WITH HER 2ND GOAL OF THE GAME, IT'S 3-1.

LATER, WARRIORS ON THE POWER PLAY, JAYLIE FRENCH SCORES TO PULL BACK WITHIN ONE.

AND THEN, GUESS WHO, TAYLOR REESE, TIES THE GAME AT THREE, AND IT WOULD REMAIN THAT WAY INTO THE BREAK.

EARLY IN THE THIRD, WARROAD STRIKES AGAIN, LINNEA HARREN, OUT FRONT, GIVES THE WARRIORS THEIR FIRST LEAD OF THE GAME.

THEN, SHE TALKED THE TALK, NOW SHE'S WALKING THE WALK, REESE, WITH A HAT TRICK, MAKES IT 5-3, BUT DODGE COUNTY WOULD GET ONE BACK.

SO 5-4 NOW, UNDER 30-SECONDS LEFT AND THE NET EMPTY, SPRITER, PUTS ON THE CAPE, THAT'S A HAT TRICK FOR HER, A HEAVY WEIGHT BOUT THAT DESERVES OVERTIME.

IN THE EXTRA FRAME, WARROAD, NEEDING A HERO OF THEIR OWN, JAYLIE FRENCH, GARMENTS ON THE ICE, FLIPS THE SCRIPT ON DODGE COUNTY, ”SPEECHLESS”.

WARRIORS, MAKING "THEM FEEL IT, LIKE HOW THEY FELT IT LAST YEAR”, AVENGING THAT LOSS WITH A 6-5 WIN IN OVERTIME TODAY.

AFTERWARDS, HEAD COACH DAVID MARVIN SAID, “THAT WAS AS BIG A COLLAPSE AS I'VE EVER BEEN A PART OF, BUT I GIVE THE PLAYERS ALL THE CREDIT IN THE WORLD, THERE WERE A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES TO FOLD UP OUR TENT BUT THEY REFUSED TO, I'M PROUD OF THE WAY THESE GUYS STUCK TO IT.” WARROAD WILL NOW FACE BRECK IN THE CLASS A CHAMPIONSHIP TOMORROW AND FOR A TRY AT THEIR 4TH STATE TITLE IN 5-YEARS, THE MUSTANGS HAVE ONLY ONE LOSS THIS SEASON AND IT WAS TO THE WARRIORS.

>>> IN CLASS 2-A GIRLS HOCKEY, BEMIDJI TAKING ON LAKEVILLE NORTH IN THE CONSOLATION SEMIFINALS AT TRIA RINK.

LATE FIRST PERIOD, MILLE KNOTT FINDS MEGAN BERG BACKSIDE, LIGHTS THE LAMP FOR HER SECOND GOAL OF THE TOURNAMENT, 1-0 LUMBERJACKS.

THEY CUT THE LEAD TO 8.

LATER, THE SENIOR, ABBEY, SOME FANCY FOOT WORK, KEEPING THE LUMBERJACKS WITHIN STRIKING DISTANCE, AND NEAR THE END OF THE HALF, CLARA TOUCHES EVERY PART OF THE RIM BEFORE DROPPING, SHE LED THE WAY WITH 13, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO OVERCOME MOORHEAD'S QUICK START.

THANKS CHARLIE.

THE DEUCES WILD DUELING PIANOS MUSICAL ACT WILL BE PERFORMING AT THE SANFORD CENTER IN BEMIDJI TOMORROW.

THE COMEDY AND MUSICAL DUO HAS BEEN TOURING TOGETHER FOR 25 YEARS.

OUR REPORTER SYDNEY DICK GOT TO SPEAK TO ONE OF THE DUELING PIANO MEMBERS FOR THIS WEEKS IN FOCUS, TO SEE WHAT MAKES THE ACT SO UNIQUE.

[♪♪♪] ♪ BROTHER, WHEN YOU NEED A HAND ♪ ♪ BECAUSE WE ALL NEED SOMEBODY ♪ ♪ TO LEAN ON ♪ >> Reporter: FOR THE PAST 25 YEARS, MUSICIANS DAVE AND TED HAVE TRAVELED ALL OVER THE WORLD PERFORMING THEIR DEUCES WILD ACT, COMBINING MUSIC, COMEDY, AND ENTERTAINMENT TOGETHER, INTO A DUELING PIANO SHOW.

IT STARTED WHEN TED TOOK THE JUMP TO QUIT HIS JOB AND AUDITIONED FOR A RECENTLY OPENED SPOT.

>> ALL I EVER WANTED TO BE WAS A MUSICIAN.

THE FACT THAT I BELIEVE IT WAS DIVINE INTERVENTION THAT WE LINED UP AND MET EACH OTHER AND FOUND A WAY TO 25 YEARS LATER STILL BE MAKING MUSIC TOGETHER, WHICH IS AMAZING.

>> Reporter: THEY COMBINE POPULAR SONGS AND DANCING AND MULTITUDE OF DIFFERENT INSTRUMENTS IN WHAT THEY CALL A VEGAS-STYLE SHOW AND THE SECOND HALF IS REQUEST BASED FROM THE AUDIENCE.

>> THE COLLECTIVE ENERGY OF 500 PEOPLE IN A ROOM THAT ARE THERE FOR MUSIC AND COMEDY AND VERY FAST PACED INTERACTION IS UNSTOPPABLE.

IT'S SO MUCH FUN.

IT'S ELECTRIC REALLY.

THAT'S WHAT KEEPS YOU MOTIVATED TO DO THIS FOR SO LONG.

>> Reporter: THE DUO AIMS TO INTERACT WITH THE AUDIENCE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, SAYING THE SHO GOERS SHOULD FEEL LIKE A THIRD MEMBER OF THE BAND.

[♪♪♪] >> THAT'S DEFINITELY THE COOLEST PART.

I GET TO BE USUALLY A PART OF SOMEBODY'S, PROBABLY THE BEST PART OF THEIR DAY.

I GET TO PULL THEM OUT OF WHAT IS GOING ON IN REAL LIFE AND FOR TWO HOURS, I GET TO PUT THEM
