0:24
Speaker 3: In the world of rules in Gray Areas, one morning
0:26
Speaker 3: show dares to ask the hard questions.
0:29
Speaker 2: Is it illegal for a child to wear that much makeup?
0:31
Speaker 2: Is it legal?
0:33
Speaker 4: I understand, I.
0:33
Speaker 2: Understand it's funny as all get out, but is it
0:36
Speaker 2: even legal? On Big ninety eight point seven.
0:41
Speaker 5: Is it legal to have a custom horn on your car?
0:50
Speaker 2: Just like that one in North Dakota.
0:54
Speaker 1: You can roll up to a stoplight blaring that Dukes
0:58
Speaker 1: of Hazard Dixie horn and still be completely within the law.
1:05
Speaker 2: That's right.
1:05
Speaker 1: It's one hundred percent legal to install a custom horn
1:09
Speaker 1: on your car.
1:10
Speaker 2: Maybe you want this, or maybe you're a big Vikes
1:13
Speaker 2: fan like that. It is one hundred percent legal.
1:18
Speaker 1: There's just a couple of criteria you have to meet, Okay,
1:22
Speaker 1: as long as it's functional and you can hear it
1:25
Speaker 1: from at least two hundred feet away, and then it's
1:29
Speaker 1: not unreasonably loud or harsh.
1:33
Speaker 6: So so we don't get my laugh as a horn.
1:35
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, basically you can sound like bo and Luke
1:39
Speaker 1: Duke from Dukes of Hazard. Just don't make it sound
1:42
Speaker 1: like a tornado siren having a bad day.
1:44
Speaker 2: Okay.
1:45
Speaker 1: The law says your horn just has to work and
1:47
Speaker 1: basically not make people jump out of their skin, which means, yes,
1:51
Speaker 1: you could hit them with the.
1:52
Speaker 2: Old or.
1:57
Speaker 1: Whenever you want or whenever you're rolling the Dairy Queen
2:00
Speaker 1: drive through.
2:01
Speaker 2: Just don't do it at two am.
2:02
Speaker 1: And maybe you're quiet West Fargo, Fargo Moorhead neighborhood. Okay,
2:07
Speaker 1: And I you know, go live your dream. I think
2:10
Speaker 1: that's great. But a custom horn, I think it's awesome.
2:13
Speaker 1: Maybe like the first three times you do it, it's
2:17
Speaker 1: kind of.
2:17
Speaker 2: A fun party trick.
2:18
Speaker 1: At what point, though, do you kind of go okay that,
2:21

3:28
Speaker 5: I'm very grateful that my passport arrived. I was really
3:33
Speaker 5: concerned when I applied for my passport that I my
3:36
Speaker 5: application would get rejected and for no reason other than
3:41
Speaker 5: I just always get worried about stuff like that. You
3:43
Speaker 5: have to mail off your birth certificate and your social
3:47
Speaker 5: Scarit like, you have to mail off all these documents, right,
3:50
Speaker 5: and then it's.
3:51
Speaker 2: Like, which one did I forget?
3:52
Speaker 7: What?
3:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're going to send all this back and tell
3:55
Speaker 1: me what I got a return exactly.
3:57
Speaker 6: I was so concerned.
3:58
Speaker 5: And at the end of the year, I'm going to
4:00
Speaker 5: Mexico on a cruise to celebrate my niece's eighteenth birthday,
4:05
Speaker 5: and so I was like, I really need this passport.
4:07
Speaker 5: And it arrived yesterday, and might I add the picture
4:11
Speaker 5: turned out kind of cute, like I saw it when
4:13
Speaker 5: I first took it, but I had forgotten what it
4:15
Speaker 5: looked like. Oh sure, am I look like me a
4:18
Speaker 5: lot of times in photos like my license photo, I
4:22
Speaker 5: look like a man named page Roll.
4:24
Speaker 6: I don't know.
4:25
Speaker 2: I don't agree.
4:26
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, but I got my passport. The picture's good.
4:29
Speaker 5: I'm ready to travel. So that's my little victory. What's yours, Gabe?
4:33
Speaker 2: My little victory?
4:34
Speaker 1: I think you kind of saw you saw the beginnings
4:36
Speaker 1: of my little victory. I don't know what it is
4:40
Speaker 1: about these Casey's gas station burritos they should. These breakfast
4:45
Speaker 1: burritos should not be allowed to be as good as
4:49
Speaker 1: they are. I, for whatever reason, it had been wanting
4:53
Speaker 1: one since like Friday of last week.
4:55
Speaker 6: Oh, that's funny.
4:56
Speaker 1: And on the way in, you know there's a couple
4:58
Speaker 1: extra minutes, I say, you know what, today's a day.
5:02
Speaker 2: Today is the day.
5:03
Speaker 1: So on the way and driving down twenty fifth, I
5:06
Speaker 1: pulled over to a Case's and got me a breakfast burrito.
5:09
Speaker 1: I ate it before the show today. I could not
5:11
Speaker 1: be more fueled up for this program. Yes, morning, you are.
5:15
Speaker 6: In a good mood.
5:16
Speaker 5: It's funny because when we were driving to work, I
5:18
Speaker 5: was next to you on the you know, we're driving
5:21
Speaker 5: the same street, and then at one point you veered
5:24
Speaker 5: off and Mikey was driving me, and.
5:26
Speaker 6: He goes, where'd he go? And I was like, I
5:28
Speaker 6: don't know, probably the gas station?
5:29
Speaker 2: And now I know that's right.
5:31
Speaker 5: You didn't have to fill up for gas. You just
5:33
Speaker 5: really needed that burrito.
5:35
Speaker 1: I walked in, blined it to where they are, grabbed one,
5:39
Speaker 1: paid for it, and left.
5:40
Speaker 2: I don't even think I was in there for twenty
5:42
Speaker 2: five seconds.
5:42
Speaker 6: No, we got to work at the exact same time.
5:45
Speaker 1: Somehow, right, and I do have another minor little victory,
5:48
Speaker 1: you know how I angie what do you call him?
5:50
Speaker 1: The girls taking everything shower? Yeah, yesterday your boy did
5:54
Speaker 1: a little bit of an everything shave, so it's at.
5:57
Speaker 2: Not quite the same.
5:58
Speaker 6: You groomed up you.
5:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, we shaved the beard, We trimmed the mustache, made
6:02
Speaker 1: sure it was all straight and in a line. You know,
6:04
Speaker 1: the everything shave is where because I don't use like
6:06
Speaker 1: a bic razor.
6:07
Speaker 2: I've never really done that.
6:08
Speaker 1: But the everything shaved for me is where you kind
6:10
Speaker 1: of use different sized guards and you kind of blend over.
6:13
Speaker 2: Oh, that's that work.
6:14
Speaker 1: It takes time, and I took the eighteen minutes to
6:17
Speaker 1: do that yesterday.
6:18
Speaker 6: Look good, You look fresh. I mean, I don't know that.
6:20
Speaker 5: I love you. Shaving during November, isn't it? No shave none?
6:24
Speaker 1: And I didn't shave the beard or the mustache. Okay,
6:27
Speaker 1: so you're still you'vember.
6:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't shave it.
6:30
Speaker 1: I just cleaned it up a tiny bit because it
6:31
Speaker 1: was getting in my mouth and stuff like that.
6:33
Speaker 5: If you're participating in November, can you send us like

6:56
Speaker 1: to Minneapolis to go to my buddy Jake's house. We

Speaker 1: we're just going to rotate the tires on my vehicle,
7:03

7:11
Speaker 1: On my way home on ninety four, headed to Minneapolis,
7:14
Speaker 1: like many people in the FM area do on a
7:16
Speaker 1: regular basis, of course, I ran into construction where it
7:22
Speaker 1: cuts you down to one lane, and I kind of
7:25
Speaker 1: decided there are a couple of guarantees in life, and
7:28
Speaker 1: one of those guarantees is there will always be construction
7:32
Speaker 1: on I ninety four. It doesn't matter this season, it
7:35
Speaker 1: doesn't matter though weather, it doesn't matter if they just
7:37
Speaker 1: finished part of a project, they're gonna move ten miles
7:40
Speaker 1: down the highway and continue on with another project and
7:44
Speaker 1: start another one. I want to know this morning, what
7:47
Speaker 1: are some guarantees in life? Seven h one two eight
7:50
Speaker 1: zero one nine eight seven. If you were to get
7:53
Speaker 1: on ninety four right now and drive about forty minutes,
7:58
Speaker 1: like east southeast. You'll know the exact construction I'm talking about.
8:02

Speaker 1: Over the weekend Pike's Peak Habitat for Humanity, they gave
17:10
Speaker 1: a new home to an Army veteran, Willie Bell and
17:14
Speaker 1: his partner, Barbara. The organization says this marks the sixth
17:18
Speaker 1: military family to receive a home built through their local program,
17:21
Speaker 1: Hamilton Barbara. She expressed deep gratitude, saying she felt blessed
17:27

Speaker 1: about three thousand volunteer hours to complete, and the organization
17:36
Speaker 1: that veterans and service members transitioning to civilian life often
17:40
Speaker 1: help with the building, which gives them opportunities to learn
17:43
Speaker 1: carpentry and electrical work skills that could be useful for
17:47
Speaker 1: both gaining employment and just maintaining the home in general.
17:51
Speaker 1: Before getting their new home, Willie and Barbara they had
17:54
Speaker 1: been living in an area.

Speaker 1: Willie due to multiple health conditions. He has lived in
18:06
Speaker 1: the area since he was first stationed at Fort Carson
18:10
Speaker 1: in the eighties, and he added that as father and brother,
