• 0:04
  Speaker 1: too polite to say, we got you. Are you calling
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: a cootie queen dying on the hill of controversial opinion
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: so you don't have to pen? This is sorry, not
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: sorry on Big ninety eight point seven.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: What are you sorry? I'm not sorry about Angie.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: If everything is a red flag, then nothing is a
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: red flag.
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: I'm very tired of people just.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Lucy Goosey throwing around the term, well that's a red flag.
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: That's not everything is a red flag.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's just something you don't like, and that's okay.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's just something that you're not into. But not
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: everything is a red flag. Red flag, he screams in
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: your face when you ask him something that he doesn't like,
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: that's a red flag. It is not a red flag.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: To wear socks with sandals. It is gross, it gives
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: the ick, but it is not a red flag. I
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: feel like people have been using red flag so Lucy
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Goosey lately that it's like, well, then is.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: Anything a green flag? Is anything a beige flag?
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: Like?
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: Not a checkered flag means he has a spotty pass?
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, I thought it was an hundred reference.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: But yes, I just feel like people use everything as
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: a red flag when really it just means that they're
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: not your cup of tea.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: Especially in dating.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Some things objectively are a red flag. If he tries
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: to control every single thing you do, that's a red flag.
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: But if you can, that would be a reason to
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: put your hands up and be like, what is going on?
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: But if you.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Guys just have a difference in like I'm a night
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: owl and I'm an early bird, Like, that's not a
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: red flag.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: It's not a red flag.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: If a man doesn't fit every single criteria and vice versa,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: it is not a red flag.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: If a woman doesn't.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Fit every single criteria that you know the dude is
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: looking for. Sometimes you're just not compatible and that's okay.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: But to call everything a red flag, now nothing's a
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: red flag when admittedly there are some red flags.
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: So you want less of red flag talk until it's
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: a real genuine red fie.

• 2:19

• 4:25
  Speaker 6: like Angie, you now have to wait till Wednesdays to
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: watch each episode one. Yeah, my little victory. So yesterday afternoon,
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: my twenty five day old daughter was he twenty five
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: days old today, but yesterday my twenty four day old
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: daughter had by far the most fussy, kind of whiny
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: day she had ever had. She had an afternoon where
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: all was well. Corey and I, my wife, took her
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: and the dog on the walk in the afternoon, and
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: when we got home it was just like all, you know,
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: broke loose. She was just fussy and crying, and you know,
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: she'd sleep for like forty five minutes here there, maybe
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: even an hour, but not her normal you know, two
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: and a half hour naps that were used to and
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: so we were thinking, well, maybe she's going through a
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: girl spurt.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: We'll just kind of get through this.
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: And uh so we had a day of just a fussy,
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: fussy baby and she was up till like nine PM,
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: just awake, just enjoying her life or hating it. Yeah,
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: and what we did we got her calm down. She
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: slept until from like nine to nine thirty to eleven and.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Then okay, that's not bad, that's better.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: She woke up at eleven PM.
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: I changed her, Corey fed her, and she kind of
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: was whinding a little bit. I rocked her for about
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: twenty five seconds in my arms and she kind of
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: just like closed her eyes, and I said, all right,
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: we're gonna set you down while we got to quiet, okay,
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: and try to make this last another hour and a half.
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: We'll just hour and a half chunk this set of time.
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: But my daughter slept from about eleven fifteen to My
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: wife texted me at about five thirty saying she just
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: finally now woke her up. So she slept for about
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: five an hour or sixish hours, I.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Think stretched, Yeah, what what?
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: Corey texted me this morning and said, I don't know
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: what to do with all of the sleep I got.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: That's a name.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: I don't just enjoy it because we don't know and
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: it will happen again.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you about the best victory you ever
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: e ever.
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: I woke up and you know, went and got ready
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: for the morning, and as I was getting ready to leave,
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: Corey was like, she has not woken up since you
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: kind of rocked her to sleep last night. I was like,
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: oh really, because you know, you never know if she
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: wakes up and Corey just takes her real quick to
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: a different room to let me sleep or something. But
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: she is just now sleeping about six sish or so
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: hours for twenty five day old baby. We'll take that.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's yeah, probably tired from a grocery
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: you know what.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: I think that deserves a hell.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, here we go.
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: If you ever have a little victory, by the way,
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: let us know about it. At seven oh one two
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: eight zero one nine eight seven. It puts a little
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: I want to pep in your step. I'd say, to
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: share something positive in your life to start your day.
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: There is a tiny chance you saw this story, and
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: by tiny, I mean it was everywhere last week when
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: this happened. But Dominique Dylan is a Memphis news anchor
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: and she fell asleep live on the air. There was
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: someone out doing a report, you know, out on the scene,
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: and they threw it back to her in the studio
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: and there she is just sleeping.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Away live on air. It's pretty crazy.
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: You know, when you watch TV, they have the person
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: who's like out on the scene, it's like the split screen.
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: Of course, they go to the split screen to cut
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: it back to the studio and this woman sadly had
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: fallen asleep. Now there is a reason, I'd say a
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: lot of people would say justifiably why she fell asleep
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: on the air. And there were a gajillion parents who
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: immediately came to her defense. And here is what happened,
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: and you know why the nap ensued while she was
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: live on the air.
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: Okay, So the night before my husband he worked at
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: double at BNSF Railway. I have a two year old,
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: I have an eight month old, and I was trying
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: to get them down to sleep at eight o'clock. But
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: my eight month old, she wasn't having its teething.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she was teething.
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: She was teething, and I just couldn't console her. I
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: gave her some teething medicine and nothing was working.
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: It turns out this two year old and this eight
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: month old just kept mom awake pretty late, and she
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: wakes up at about one thirty in the morning. So
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: eight pm is crazy late for her. And then if
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: they're not going to sleep at eight pm, it's even
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: worse or she gets even less sleep.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so that makes sense.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, I know even I don't think you'll fall asleep,
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: but yeah, you're a new dad.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I'm just built different.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: There's not But there's no way that you're getting an
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: appropriate amount of sleep these days.
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: No, last night might have been the first first time
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: we were Yeah, we had about six hours or so,
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: which I know Corey when she woke up today was like,
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: I don't even know what to do. Yeah, she'd feel
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: like a home news part so rested. What do I
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: do with all this extra sleep?
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: If you're gonna fall asleep at work, that's a good
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: reason why, because I feel like there are other people
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: who've fallen asleep at work.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: And then what was your excuse?
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, And there were a ton of people on
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: social media and Twitter or x or whatever you want
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: to call it who immediately came to her defense.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: And now I have about a one month old now.
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: Thankfully, the way Corey and I have kind of worked
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: it out is, you know, I kind of sort of
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: have the afternoon shift so Corey can get as much
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: napping or not napping if she doesn't need it as possible.
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: I'll kind of do this shift between like nine and eleven,
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: or at least I try to, and then Corey will
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: kind of take over after that and thankfully let me
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: sleep as long as possible.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Do we always get the most amount of sleep? No?
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Does this kid wake us both up?
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: Of course she does, but you know, we try our
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: best to help each other out in that way.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: But it did get us thinking.
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: You might not necessarily have been caught sleeping live on television,
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: but have you been caught falling asleep at work? Let
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: us know it's seven oh one two eight zero one
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: nine eight seven, Angie, if you ever fallen asleep at work,
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: I think.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: You'd be able to tell, based on what my job
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: is now, if I ever fell asleep dead air And
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: then I'm fired.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: However, I'd have to really hold it down that morning.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: Do your best Angie impression.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: What would you two of you asked me a question
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: and I was asleep, and you wanted to answer back as.
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: Me, My best Angie impression would be, oh my god, Gabe,
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: good morning.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: I gotta tell you something. I gotta tell you something
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: That was pretty good.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: So I've never fallen asleep during radio land. But back
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: when I was working retail and I was in my
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: early twenties, when I.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: Had some late nights out drinken.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: I'm not even thought or superwoman.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so it was it was a time where we
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: would go to the club in business casual.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: It was the twenty tenth.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: We'd got to the club in business casual, stay out
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: till like seven in the morning, and then go home,
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: switch shoes and go to work. And I thought I
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: had this like down pat until I fell asleep in
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: the break room.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: I went on break and then I just fell asleep.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Forever you went on break and just never I.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: Never came back out.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I never got off.
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: The break Allison, really quickly, what about you? You ever fallen
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: to sleep at work?
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: I knodded, off at my desk for maybe ten minutes,
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: but apparently that was enough time for my coworker to
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: take a picture of me, and then they made it
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: the group chat photo for weeks.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: Okay, all right, no, no, no, I was in the
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: first half. I was like, what a hater coworker. But
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: it was just in the group chat.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: That's fine. Yeah, what happens in the group chat stays
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: in yeah chat.
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: Well, back when I was just a young, young, young
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: radio guy, I was twenty one, twenty two years old.
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: I actually used to have to work Monday to Saturday
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: six am, so six days a week. I was, you know,
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: getting up in five five point fifteen ish and you know,
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: schlepping on into the studio. And there was one Saturday,
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: after a very fun, i'm sure exciting Friday that at
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: twenty two year old Gabe was like, I'll be all
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: right tomorrow, and I got it in the studio.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: All was fine.
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: And then at about seven thirty, for whatever reason, there
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: was just a long song set coming up. It was like, oh,
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: I got fifteen twenty minutes here, and I leaned back
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: and put the feet up on the desk and then
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: I fell asleep from seven thirty to about nine. So, boy,
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: were there are a lot of songs playing on that
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: Saturday morning?
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Bryce, So what about you? Man?
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: I accidentally dozed off during a long virtual training session
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: while working from home and woke up just as my
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: name was called, and after a very awkward silence, I
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: admitted I needed the question repeated. My coworkers tees me
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: about it for weeks, but I never skipped my morning
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: coffee again.
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: Well, your camera had to be off, yeah, one hundred percent.
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: I bet there's a ton of people who can relate
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: to fall in asleep during like yeah, you know timing.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: As soon as COVID hit and most things went remote,
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: there was a lot of sleep in workers.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: Seven oh one two eight zero one nine eight seven?
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: Did you ever fall asleep at work?
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: In the world of rules?
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: In gray Areas, one morning show dares to ask the
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: hard questions.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: We both know you're guilty. He's guilty. Is it legal?
• 13:22
  Speaker 8: You're guilty of the worst crime of all?
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: On Big ninety eight point seven, could you pay your
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: taxes entirely in pennies?
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Why you do want to do that? I don't know.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Maybe you're just angry.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: Because that's funny.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Maybe you're just angry, angryt uncle Sam.
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, technically, yes, beautiful. Federal law says that US
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: coins and currency are legal tender for public charges and taxes.
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: So in theory, you could show up with a trailer
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: full of pennies and say, here you go government.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: But there is a catch here.
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: In North Dakota, tax agencies don't have to sit there
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: and count a massive pile of loose change at the counter.
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: They can reject payment if the amount of coins is
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: considered disruptive or impractical to the process. So, yes, you
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: could pay in pennies, but if you show up with
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: two hundred thousand of them, don't be surprised if the
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: tax office says, how about we just use a check
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: kind of interesting penny rolls, Well, then it'd be easier
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: to count. Should it probably be more likely to accept them.
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: But if you're angry and you show up with a
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: bunch of wheelbarrows full of pennies, the chances of them
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: sitting there counting them are basically zero. It is kind
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: of crazy how few pennies we really see anymore.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: I know they're trying to phase them out because obviously
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: they have been discontinued they're not making them.
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I shared this story a couple of minutes ago,
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: but if you missed it. When I go to the
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: gas station in the morning, or on mornings i've stop
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: at the gas station, I'll grab myself a Celsius or
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: some energy drink. It normally comes out to be about
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: three and fifty four cents. So instead of giving me
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: the forty six cents back, if I give them like
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: a five dollars bill, they always just give me two quarters.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: They don't.
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: I don't even know if they have pennies in the
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: drawers anymore. This is a good question. If you at
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: a gas station or a grocery store, do you really
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: even deal with pennies anymore? Let us know it's seven
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: oh one two eight zero one to nine eight seven.
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: But if you were compelled to pay your taxes in pennies, technically, yeah,
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: you can try, but you could also get denied. So
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: remember that coming up next February March April tax season.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: I need some good.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Starting off the day with something good. This is Gabe's
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: good news on Big ninety eight point seven.
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: There's a pretty cool piece of NDSU history coming full
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: circle right here in Fargo. As NDSU has just dedicated
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: it's brand new Bowldy Agricultural Laboratory, which is a state
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: of the art facility designed to help researchers find better
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: solutions for North Dakota agriculture. It's named after Henry Bowlee,
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: one of NDSU's first faculty members and a pioneer in
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: plant science who spent decades helping North Dakota farmers and
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: NDSU's vice President of Agriculture, Greg Lardy says, this new
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: facility is all about finding solutions that can make a
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: difference for farmers and communities.
• 16:22
  Speaker 8: When you look at what you know, the buildings represent,
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: you know, one piece of what we need to do
• 16:26
  Speaker 8: effective research, but it really comes down to people. And
• 16:29
  Speaker 8: this building will allow us to attract and retain talent,
• 16:32
  Speaker 8: you know, world class talent when they see the investments
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: that the state is making in ag research and a
• 16:37
  Speaker 8: commitment to the long term.
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: So they're honoring the people who helped build North Dakota
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: agriculture while giving the next generation of researchers the tools
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: to make.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: It even better.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: And I love that.
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: I think that's pretty cool and pretty special. You know
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: a lot of stuff on theme today. We talked a
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: couple of times about haircuts, but a lot of education
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: stuff today. I think back to school is in the
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: air here. N seven Yeah, that's right. Don't forget my
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: favorite quote, The world is full of nice people. If
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: you can't find one, be one. And never forget that
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: broken crayons, they still color
