• 0:28
  Speaker 2: I had like twenty years to get it, but I'm
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: going to be traveling by plane and I don't want
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: to have to be at the airport like ridiculously early,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: and so I need to get my North Dakota Driver's license.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it has.

  Speaker 2: To be a real ID at the same time. But
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: I'm concerned because I don't know, Angie. You should have
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: looked into this already. I don't know. I'd rather just
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: ask you. I have to I have to get my license.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Do I need to take the driving test again? If
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I'm transferring like an out of state license, do I
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: have to take?
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Ah?

  Speaker 1: kind of by where we work. Off of thirteenth you
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: go to the Fargo driver's license SIGHTE. You schedule to
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: take the test, you drive around.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: But I already have a license from somewhere else, and
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I still have to.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Got to prove you can drive here. What so you
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: have a lot more work than you originally thought.
• 1:29

• 1:36
  Speaker 2: was June ninth, and I'm trying to fly on June thirteenth.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Well, you really better hope you pass that driver's test
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: on June ninth, because if you don't, they won't give
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: you the ID.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Gabe, this is terrible news. I'm not augh. It's not
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: that I'm a bad driver. It's that I get nervous
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: when someone else is in the car. And it took
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: when I originally got my license, it took me five times.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Well hopefully the sixth time is the charm heater. Yeah,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I was lucky. It didn't take me very long. It
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: was like twenty minutes driving around. Tim was with me.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Big shout out to Tim. He was really cool. And
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: you'll pass with flying colors. Just you know, make sure

  Speaker 2: I'm really no, I always use my blinker, gave. This
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: is the worst news I've heard in a long time.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I'm not a good drive. I'm not gonna pass this.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I'm really worried.

  Speaker 1: You could if there was like the sun going through
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the roof of the garage and you dropped an egg
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: on that bad boy, you could eat an egg out
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: of my garage right now. It is so clean and
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: pristine and organized, and it's gonna be even better today
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: after I get rid of a couple things bringing it
• 7:37

• 7:45
  Speaker 2: into my place, my property manager was like, the thing

  Speaker 1: I really feel like I've officially moved in now. Yes,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the way justin Bieber were also going to have the
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: tea coming up for you here on Big ninety eight
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: point seven. But yeah, Angie mentioned it, make sure you
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: share those little victories. We love hearing you know, something
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: positive from your weekend. It puts us also in a
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: great mood, you know, just to get the week started.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Here on Big ninety eight point seven, there were some
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: students that created a robot that can solve a Rubic's
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: cube in record time.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: And you might be kind of going, well, what good
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: is that for humanity?
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Well, it could really benefit maybe people who are having
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: surgery that is really invasive or really hard to do,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: or something for a regular human that these robots might
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: be able at one point to evolve to be able
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: to do like surgeries for people.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: That stuff for doctors. I don't know.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I want a robot doing surgery
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: on me per se, but you know, there is some
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: benefit to that.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: And I do not know.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: If you are a puzzle person, If you're listening right
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: now and you're into brain puzzles, I have an interesting
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: question for you here, Angie, are you a brain puzzle
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: kind of person? I know you're uh, the escape rooms
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: aren't quite up your alley.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if it's too much critical thinking. It's a no
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: from me, dog like, I can't do it. My brain
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: doesn't work that way. If it's like creative stuff, yes,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: But if it's something where like my brain has to
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: put a puzzle together and use logic, no, I can't
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: do it.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: It's like a game of chess, isn't for you? Probably?
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: No, I could do checkers.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I think I think I know the answer to this
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: question for you. I wanted to know if you had
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: these two options, which would you pick. Let me know
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: at seven oh one two eight zero one nine eight
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: seven if you had to spend one year in jail
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: or the second you saw a Rubik's Cube, you can leave.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: What are you doing?
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Do you think you could solve a Rubic's Cube in
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: one year or less?
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Can I go the Game of Thrones route and do
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: trial by combat and then choose someone to.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Do the Rubik's Cube for me?
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Because my friend's nine year old son, he can get
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: me out of there. Yeah, he can get me out
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: of there real quick. No, I guess I'm enjoying my
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: one year in jail.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: You're two hots and a cut.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. I'll work out. I'll eat bad food. I'll
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: lose some weight. I mean I would look good by
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: the time I got out.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Maybe that's the move, Sarah. What about you?
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Can you solve a Rubics cube or are you doing
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: the jail thing? Are you good at Rubik's cubes?
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, I'm great at solving Rubik's cube puzzle, at least from.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: A logic and pattern recognition standpoint.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: I can guide you through the algorithm step by step,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: no matter how scrambled it is.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Maybe you can phone Sarah as a friend.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that she'll be my one phone call.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: There were some students who created a robot that can
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: solve a Rubic's cube, which I think obviously brilliant students
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: to be able to do this. That's really cool. And
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: I like brain puzzles. This is one thing you might
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: not know about me, Angie. I'm really into chess. Oh
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: you're I love using that part of my brain. I
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: think Rubik's cubes are fun. You know, it's all like
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: just brain puzzles. I enjoy them.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: We are opposite people, right.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I wanted to know then if you had to choose
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: between one of these two options three hundred and sixty
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: five days in jail, and then you just get out.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're out scot free.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Or you can leave jail the second you solve a
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Rubik's cube. Which one are you choosing? Seven oh one
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: two eight zero one nine eight seven. We do have
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: some funny responses on Facebook.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Leanna.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: She said, I could just as well take the year.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: It would take me longer than that to solve the
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Rubik's cube.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: See a woman after my own heart. But Tara said,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: give me the Rubik's cube. I cannot.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: One part of this that I didn't really specify is like,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: do you have.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: The Internet in jail?
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: What do you mean?
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: You would just look up how to do it? And
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: there's a real life to help me. I stepped to
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: toornials for sure.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Excuse me.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: We also had someone who said, one year, we stink
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: at those cubes.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Sadly, I feel bad for them.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Well, Ron said that he could get it done in
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: less than two minutes and we didn't go wrong, said
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: every man ever.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, we do have Anthony on the phone. Anthony, what
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: about you? Are you taking the cube or the year
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: in jail? Are you good at Rubik's cubes?
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: I came really close to solving the family's rubikscube. When
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: I was in middle school.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: But those last two or three squares were just impossible
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: for me to get into the right place.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: Thinking about it still stresses me out.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'll fare better than an adult, huh.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know what I would do if you have
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: the If you have the Internet, you could get that
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: done in less than twenty four hours, for sure.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know. The Internet is just like what's the
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Wi Fi for jail? I don't know.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Today's variety Big ninety eight point seven. It's Gabe and Angie.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Cloudy today with a high of fifty two, maybe even
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: some rain this afternoon. And one thing you might not
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: know if you listen to Big ninety eight point seven
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: is we get We get emails sometimes, but people just
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: wanting to know, you know, what other people think, or
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: maybe they're asking for advice for certain things. And sometimes
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: we can we read them on the show. Sometimes we
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: can't read them on the show. But I think we're
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: gonna start collecting these and kind of doing something new
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: here every morning with something called am I the problem?
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: And we have one of those here today, The Problem.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Yes, Allison reached out to us, and I wanted to
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: read this one today because it's coming up really quickly,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: she emailed us. My sister is pregnant with her fourth child,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: the first girl in the family. She's having her baby
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: shower next week so family can fly in on a
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: three day weekend, but she's having the shower on my
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: actual birthday. I made plans well before she planned her shower,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: and I told her I can't make it. She's upset
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: and says I'm selfish, But I think it's selfish to
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: have the event on my birthday. She keeps saying she
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: had to because of the three day weekend, but she's
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: not due for another two and a half months. I
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: think that's plenty of time for people to request time off,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: and she can do it closer to her due date.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: I've been to her previous three baby showers, but she
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: says this is a big deal because the baby is
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: the first girl. I don't know what to do. Am
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: I messed up?
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: If I don't go, wow, Well, there's multiple things. There
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: are multiple layers. I would say, Angie number one, not
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: messed up. Could not go Oh, you don't think it's
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: messed up? No, okay, not at all.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I love birthdays. I love my birthday all of those things.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: But I will also say, Alison, what are you gonna
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: remember when you're eighty your niece's baby shower or your
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: insert whatever age birthday?
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: You know what, that's a good way you'll look at it.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: You'll always remember your niece or nephew or whatever's birthday
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: or baby shower.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Right, but this birthday would just be lumped in with
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: all the other birthdays.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: In ask me what I did on my twenty sixth birthday?
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: What did you do on your clue? Not a clue?
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Seven oh one two, eight oh one, ninety eight seven?
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: What do you think Allison should do? Is she the
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: problem if she doesn't go to her sister's baby shower
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: even though the baby shower lands on her actual birthday?
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: What would you do or what do you think? I?
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh, am I gonna are people gonna come
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: for me?
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: I really?
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: I love my birthday also, and I feel like I'm
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: with Alison on this one. I would just do I
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: already have plans, and then after I already made plans
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: for my birthday, you decided to choose that date, yeah,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: to do your baby shower. I think that that's selfish
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: on her sister's part, Yeah.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: When your sister's birthday is, you know, when your.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Sister's birthday is okay, And I get it because Memorial
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Day weekend is a three day weekend, and I understand
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: why that would be easier, But like she said, it's
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: two and a half months right until the do date,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: I feel like there's time for people to request off.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: The only part that's like, oh is that it is
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: the first girl in the family, and I feel like
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: maybe that's kind of like a big deal. In my family,
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: it's the there's only one granddaughter sure, and there's like
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: nineteen boys or something like, and so I feel like
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: it's a big deal. But I don't know. I feel
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: like she should have moved it, but I feel like
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: it's too late right because the family's coming in. Yeah,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: so I think her sister should just be like, I
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: guess you're.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: Not going sister sister drama if you know, you know
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: the problem.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Allison wrote in asking for some advice. She wants to
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: know if she's the problem because she doesn't want to
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: go to her sister's baby shower. Her sister is having
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: her baby shower on Allison's birthday. She doesn't want to go.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: She wants to know she's the problem for not wanting to.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: We have Justin on the.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: Line, Well, my wife and I might be like too
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: conservative and not want to be spoiled too much. When
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: we had just two kids, we didn't have a baby
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: shower for each kid. This is the fourth baby shower. Yeah,
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: this person, how much baby sift do you need?
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Right? Okay? Because I always heard that you have the
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: baby shower for the first kid, and then when you
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: have the second, you do the sprinkle, So it's not
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: as big as a baby shower.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Just call spade a spade. It's a diaper get together.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: They just need diapers.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Bro.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: Still, I don't think they need to have a fourth one,
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: regardless if it's the first girl or not.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: You know, there's so you who do you agree with
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: in this scenario?
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: You're I honestly think they say that's the baby shower
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: is being uber spoiled and needs to grow up and
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: this new era of finance responsibility to her family to
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: pay out for a whole bunch of crap that they
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: already have.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: I justin had Justin said it.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: We had a few people texting about this, and it
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: looks like they're mostly team Allison. Jennifer said, depends on
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: the birthday. Is it a big one? Also, why has
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: her sister had a baby shower for every child?
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: I didn't know this was a thing in the mother community. Yeah,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: you're supposed to be a parenting community.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're supposed to have the baby shower for the
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: first one, and then if you have any kid after that,
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: you have what's called a sprinkle, And that's basically, can
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: y'all just bring me some diapers because you're supposed to
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: keep the stuff from the previous child.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, here's the thing.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: I'm team Allison, but I will say I have two kids,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: and I had a baby shower for each one.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: This weekend, I took what is quite possibly the most
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: awkward lift I've ever taken in my life. Lyft uber
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: whatever one you use, and it's no fault to the
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: driver by any stretches. So what you do, game, Yes,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: what I'm really doing is snitching on myself. Here, the
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Big ninety eight point seven crew, we all hung out
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: this Saturday fun. It was you and me and Meghan
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: and James and we all went and got some lunch
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: and then went out for you know, a drink or
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: two at in a place by our neighborhood. Actual shout
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: out to Frank's. But I took a lift there. You know,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: you just never know what's gonna happen. You want to
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: be safe, that's be responsible the whole nine yards. And
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: it's not that far of a car ride from my
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: house to Franks. But I take a lift, And I
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: tell you what, I am someone who gets in the
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: lyft drive the uber, and I am a talker.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: I am gonna chitchat with this person.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I want them, I want them to feel like a human.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I know they're working, but I don't want them to
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: think like they're my limo driver. They're escorting me around
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: at where the drop of a hat. So I try to,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: you know, make them feel like a person, like a human.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: And this poor gentleman was not down to talk. So
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: after a handful of blocks, I've quickly realized this guy
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: wants nothing to do with me. So we just sat
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: there in silence for the however long the car ride
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: was to the bar.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: And you thought that that was awkward, the.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: Most awkward thing of my life.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: You so you're someone who does not do well with
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: just silent.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, and I wonder if part of it is
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: like this job. You know, when there's dead air, that's
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: when I get uncomfortable.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that makes sense.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: But yeah that I am not one of those people
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: who can just sit in silence and like enjoy the moment.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's not all always true, but you know,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: I don't want this guy to feel like he's chauffeurring
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: me around.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to say.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, but that's literally his job.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just it feels weird to me.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: I love a silent Uber really. Yeah, I will traded
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: places with you because what always happens to me is
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: that even in the app itself, and you took a lift,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: so I don't know if this is different in the
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Uber app, but you can click like I want a
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: quiet ride, like I don't want to talk to me. Yeah,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: but every time I hit that, it's like the Uber
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: driver season and thinks, oh, talk a lot and tell
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: her my whole life story, and so they always And
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: then the reason I like the silence is because I'm
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: not a good small talker. I clearly yap all day
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: on air, but I by the time I'm just in
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: the car, let's let's be quiet. Okay, let's be calm.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: Fair enough. Well, we have Jake online. Jake, what about you?
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Are you someone who talks in the uber or the
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: lyft or whatever ride share you're using.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: I always talk to drivers in a ride chair at
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: least the hello or how's.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Your day going?
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: And then if they seem cool and open a chatting
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: with all talk sports or top culture.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: Whatever, just to pass the time.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: It makes to ride more fun. If they just want
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: to focus on the road, I'm totally cool with that.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: That.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: I hate if you can't.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: If you can't focus on the road and chit chat
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: with me, I don't know if you should have your license? Wow, Dube,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: I'm just kidding.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: God, Kim, what about you? Are you talking in the
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: uber or the lyft?
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Oh? I never talk to drivers in a ride chair.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: I give a polite.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: Nod and plug in my headphones even if nothing's playing.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: That's so, it's just so rats to me.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's not. She's my vibe, a woman after
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: my own heart.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: It's like being at the counter and you're on your
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: phone checking out at like the gas sting. Oh, I
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: don't believe in doing that. Sure, I don't know, I
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: just feels so strange to me. Who knows, Maybe I'm
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: dead wrong. Let me know, are you someone who would
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: rather talk to the uber lift driver or are you
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: riding in dead silence? Seven one eight zero one to
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: nine eight seven Tiper gabs good news of the day
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: And I love stories like this for multiple reasons. But
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: there is a dry cleaning service that is offering free
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: cleaning services to those who are unemployed and preparing for
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: a job interview. So if they are, you know, they
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: go to wherever they can get a suit and it
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: needs to be cleaned and whatever, they will allow those
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: people to do them for free. The man who launched
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: this is named is Ali and it's an initiative to
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: those who are ever affected by layoffs you know happen
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: every single day. And since opening the business in twenty ten,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: he's gone to great lengths to support both customers and employees,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: including working with local homeless shelters. His shop handles five
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: to ten free cleanings weekly and continues to be recognized
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: for its fast, community driven service.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: I love this. This is so sweet.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you hear other things about this.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: There's a you know sometimes you hear about like barbers
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: or something who will help those who are homeless get
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: a haircut and get you know, their beard trimmed or
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: their hair done, or whatever the case may be. And
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: I just think it's really cool for those who want
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: to help out people who are, you know, maybe down
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: on their luck or just struggling.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: And it's nice to know that.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: The saying I always kind of end this eight o'clock
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: hour with is very true. And it's stories like this
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: that remind me of that.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: I agree wholeheartedly, and especially they're trying to help themselves,
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, and that can be difficult,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: so it's nice when someone steps in and also gives
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: you a hand.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: The world is full of nice people. If you can't
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: find one, you gotta be one.
