  Speaker 1: Today's variety, Big ninety eight point seven.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: I'll write some sunshine this afternoon. I have about forty three.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: I just discovered the other day that in New Jersey
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: there's a proposal to require cursive handwriting instruction in grades
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: three through five, and it won the approval from the
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: State Assembly Education Committee earlier this month. There are gonna
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: be some kids on the East Coast who are going
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: to basically be exposed to cursive for the first time.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: I didn't know there were places that did not teach
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: cursive handwriting.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, that was such a big thing for me growing up.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: I remember that was I don't know what grade we started,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: but cursive was huge. And my daughter the only experience
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I guess I have. Now she's in kindergarten and she
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: is already learning cursive.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she loves it. Yeah, we had. I did cursive
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: in fourth and fifth grade. We'd have these little white
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: sheets of paper and we basically had to copy the
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: capitol letter yeah any times or whatever, and then the
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: lower case letter right below it. And we did that
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: from A all the way through the alphabet.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: And I feel like cursive is just something that everybody
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: should know. I don't know why you wouldn't teach it. Yeah,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: doesn't make sense to me that you wouldn't. This is
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: something that should be off the docket.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it would take a long time for this to
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: actually happen. But if you think about it, if they
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: just stop teaching cursive right after, I don't know what it.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Would be, one hundred years, two hundred years.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: There are a bunch of really old, very important documents
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: that what people just can't read because they've never been exposed.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: To me, that's a really good point. You just don't
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: know how to read the declaration. Hey, sorry, can't do that.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Don't know cursive. We'll pass. Yeah, I think that.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I mean one of my favorite things growing up, and
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I think everybody did it. That's how you doodled outside
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: of But you remember the smile, how you'd make the
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: How do you like a three D version of smile? Oh?
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Do you remember what I'm saying for? Like bubble letters? Yep,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: doodle lean your name over and over again with you know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: your third grade fourth grade crush on your notebook.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: That was so fun, so true. Yeah, that's so true.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: I had asked this question on Facebook. Should schools continue
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: to teach hand to write or to teach cursive handwriting,
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: excuse me, And it was pretty much an overwhelming yes.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Now I will go into one thing here. One of
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: the big things people are talking about on the Facebook
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: page is knowing how to sign your name, which you know,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: if you're gonna buy a house or a car or
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: basically anything you know you need, or if.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: You're like me and still using checks. Yes, kids, those
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: are these little things you used to.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Have a check book?
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they can. They can be used as form of payment.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: I did do some googling because when I got my
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: first license when I was sixteen years old and got
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: to whatever, you know, sign the thing and take the
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: picture and go to the DMP, I had asked the
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: person behind the counter, It's like, hey, do I have
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: to sign my name or can I sort of do
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: whatever I want? And they told me you could sort
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: of do whatever you want. Your signature can be whatever
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: as long as the one on your ID is the
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: same as the one you used to sign something in
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: a bank.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Really, yes, I.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Thought it had to be signature to me means cursive
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: or you know what I mean, the loop d loops
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: who knows? And nowadays like we just did our taxes
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: and when your E file, I'm like, I can't. I'm
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: trying to use a mouse, right, just sign it. Just
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: it's gibberish at this point.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because my cursive or my signature is really just
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: like a big letter and then a bunch of dog water, correct,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: you know? So I look this up. Do signatures need
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: to be incursive? And according to the first thing that
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: showed up on Google, So I'm going with just the
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: first search. Okay, No, signatures do not have to be incursive.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: You can print your name as a valid signature as
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: long as it's clear and let a legible representation of
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: your identity.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: So that's I'm saying.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: I think you can print your name on your license
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: if you want and make it your signature as long
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: as it is the same.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Now that you say that, my dad he his signature
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: and everything he writes in all capital letters, Like that's
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: what just and very I mean, I guess print would be.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: It's very legible. It's not incursive. So I never really
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: thought about that until now. That's the only person I know.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Otherwise it's the big hoop de loop de loop letters
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: all over.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: Now here's what you need to know.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Well, this is going to be pretty awesome. The NDSU
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: football team is going to the White House in US
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Capital on April ninth, where they will meet President Trump
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: in honor of the national championship. Senator Hovin has been
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: working to coordinate this ever since they won. And from
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: the Oval Office on Friday, this is what they said.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Bison, go Bison, and thank you for inviting him to
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: the Whitehouse.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Very cool.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: I don't care what your political views are. This is
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: just awesome.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, getting to go to the White House and
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: walk around in there and meet whoever the President is
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: at the time, no matter it is. That's cool and
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: something you'll remember forever. Totally much deserved and you.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: And D's director of athletics announced yesterday that there is
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: going to be a change being made in the leadership
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: of North Dakota's hockey program. Brad Berry, who just completed
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: his tenth season, will not return next season. Dane Jackson
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: will serve as the interim coach. They said they have
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: a national search that is already underway for the next
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: head coach and that will begin immediately. Yesterday, there was
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: a crowd of protesters lined up in front of the
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Post Office in downtown Fargo as a part of a
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: nationwide protest aimed at President Trump's proposed changes to the
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: US Postal Service. He suggested moving the postal service under
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: the umbrella of the Commerce Department, and postal advocates, of course,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: say this decision would be disastrous for the country.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Today, we're gonna go.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: A little FuG We're supposed to have some sunshine today,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Hya forty three, and then I kind of thought we
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: were over the hump. There is a chance of kind
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: of a rain snow mixed tomorrow, and then we're often
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: real I'm gonna be fifty is maybe even sixty by Thursday,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: and then everything I see is more rain. So the
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: attempts are starting to really warm up as we roll
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: into April already.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: That's my least favorite four letter s word to hear
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: on the radio.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: No.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: I was actually surprised when we woke up yesterday morning, like,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: oh gosh, we actually got snow, and even then it's
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: gonna melt so fast, so it didn't really bother me.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: It just felt like just kind of depressing me. My
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: heart just sank.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: I got up to let the dog out to go
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: potty or whatever, and I open up the sliding or
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: the little what are they called the blinds or whatever
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: to get to out the sliding door, and it was
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: just like bright white, like no, this.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Again, we've been pretty spoiled.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: We really didn't get a whole lot of snow this year,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: so even just that little inter or two and it
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: was just enough to where you.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Had to shovel it. Yeah, just enough to be annoying. Exactly. Yeah,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: thankfully the roads weren't too bad, but at least for
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: me on the way in though.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm ready for the sunshine today and like I said,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: should be about forty three.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Today, Amanda.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: Have you ever heard of someone putting a pinch of
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: salt in their coffee?
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: No, that seems really weird.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: What about opening bags of chips from the bottom?
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: That would drive me crazy? Because I'm a little OCD.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: That would drive me absolutely crazy. I have found some
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: of these interesting.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: I think i'll just called life hacks that I got
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: to share with you coming up at seven to eleven.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Some of these I've never heard, and they make so
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: much sense. I think these actually work.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, I need to know more about this salt in
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: the coffee. Today's variety Big ninety eight point seven. I've
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: ride some sunshine this afternoon. I have about forty three.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Beach season is just around the corner. I do know
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: that it's snowed over the weekend, but the weather will
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: warm up and we will be spending some time out
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: on the lake at the beach. Maybe you got a
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: summer vacation, and if you are ready for or if
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: you want to get ready for beach bod time.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I'm all in.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: There is a hack that has gone Viviroll. That sounds
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: very strange, but I do think very doable.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Of the eat like a baby weight loss hack.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: And no I'm not talking about mashed potatoes and little
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: mass beans and carrots. You don't need the little glass
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: jar of baby poo. Gosh ew, I have never heard
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: of this. Yeah, there's three very simple, very easy steps here, Amanda.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: You just don't really.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Care for the name of it. Eat like a baby
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: like I'm a grown adult. It's like I need to
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: be nourished. I need to have all the food. I mean, granted,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: hopefully you're nourishing your child, but what is the process
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: of this.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: So there's three.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Steps, and you can eat every two to four hours.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Obviously, they have to be smaller meals.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: If you're housing like a seventeen ounce sirloin steak every
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: two hours, that's not really gonna help you. But you
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: can eat whatever you want. Just eat smaller meals every
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: two to four hours. Number two, take your time. This
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: will never work for me ever, I can't. I'm the
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: same way. I just house it so fast, and I
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: hate it. My dad and I are the same way.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: We eat eat.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: My husband looks at me like I'm crazy. Sometimes I'm
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: done eating before he's even like.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Sat down down. Yeah, yeah, just a monster. Yeah. We
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: actually had talked about this. Whatever week it was where
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: I made this, I made spaghetti with the cream mushroom sauce,
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: and whenever, whatever week that was the exact same thing.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I was starving. I sit down.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Corey's waiting on the garlic bread to finish in the
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: in the oven, and there's three minutes left, and I said, honey.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: I said, honey, I'm really sorry. I'm starving. And I
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: would normally wait for you, but in this case today
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: I'm just not.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I have waited for you to get home for like
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: twelve hours.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: I'm hungry. Well, it is so shorue in three minutes
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: before the garlic bread.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: If you were to actually take your time, your body
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: would become full instead of by the time it hasn't
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: even gone down.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: You're on helping number two. Yeah, exact BOWLD numbers. And
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: now we're going, oh gosh, what was it? Yeah, and
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: then the last one.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Amanda and I think a lot of people are aware
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: of this here, but avoid the mindless munching. Babies don't
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: do it because they can't. We're not just giving babies
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: lazed potato chips and Doritos and little candies every second
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: of the day, like our office up front.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Those darn snickers are gonna kill me. If you're a grazer.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: It's hard.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: It's hard to monitor that too, Oh for sure.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Like my weekend eating habits, I'm just bored.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Eat Like I'm just sitting here eating all day for
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: no reason exactly. But on the weekdays I can easily
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: intermittent fast. I'll eat maybe a meal a day, right,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: and I'm good, maybe a little snack. But the eating
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: every two to four hours, that's interesting.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd never really heard that necessarily, but I guess honestly,
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: it'd be breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the most part.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's yeah, that's very true.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: And then it also does say when you avoid the
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: mindless munching, pay closer attention to.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Why you are eating. I'm probably guilty of this.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: At eight thirty every night, there's a nice little bag
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: of popcorn that usually ends up in my lap.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: And it's like, am I hungry? Or am I just bored?
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Bored? That's the problem stress eating all of that? Is
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: there anything in here? Are we supposed to have bottles?
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Because isn't eat like a baby? I'm just everybody going around.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: It's like, what's in your bottle? That for a second
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: when I'm just curious, I got.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: It Today's Variety, Big ninety eight point seven.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: All right, I'm ready for it. Some sunshine this afternoon. Hi,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: you about forty three.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Have you ever considered putting a pinch of salt in
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: your coffee?
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: I had never heard of it before. I would like
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: to know why I would. I would maybe give it
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: a shot. I have never heard of this either. Supposedly
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: it makes it taste way better. That's all the information
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: I've got. So I'm gonna try this after we're done
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: chit chatting here, and I will let you know if
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: it's worth it or not. I see, I'm not a
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: big salt fan. I feel is there a health benefit
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: for it, because for me not a healthy you know
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: what I mean?
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: You don't need to be adding any more sodium, I
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: don't think to my diet.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Supposedly it makes it taste way better.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Here's some other of these life hacks that I've found
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: on the internet that I actually think might be worth trying.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: One of them maybe not so much, all right, but
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: this is great. Open a bag of chips from the
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: bottom is where all of the seasoning rests, so flipping
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: the bag makes it sprinkled down.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: You have better tasting chips the whole way through.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: But I also feel it's the same thing where you
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: then put them away unless you're eating the whole thing.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Let's say it's you're eating the whole bag, then it
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: would make sense. But if not, then you're gonna put
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: the chip clip back on and the season's gonna go
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: back down to the bottom again.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Don't you just shake it?
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: I'll be honest, I've never grabbed a bag of chips
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: going through the fast food place or whatever and went,
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: how can I make these chips taste better.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: They all kind of taste they're already gone by the time.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah right, all right, what about this one, Amanda? Write
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: down every good idea that you have. Do not depend
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: on your memory. I have notes and notes and notes
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: of ideas that I quick bullet point down and now
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: I have no idea what they are.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: One of my favorite things to do in my phone
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: is every once in a while.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I'll just be kind of bored.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: If you have, like a doctor's appointment, you're sitting there
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: scrolling and you're done with all the other things, or
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: like on a flight when you don't maybe have service,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: all go and read my notes.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I'm like, what does any of this thing even mean?
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: You don't even remember where did this come from?
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: But it is really hilarious the things that we think
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: is important at those moments.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, where was I going with this? What does this
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: even mean? What does it stand for? And now this
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: one I've never heard. I don't even know if this works,
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: but putting a slice of bread in your mouth while
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: cutting onions supposedly it absorbs some of the compounds that
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: make your eyes sting and start to water.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I guess experts.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know if there's bread onion cutting experts out there,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: but the experts say it's dumb, but people swear that it.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Works hilarious to just make somebody try it. I would
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: totally do something like this if I was making French
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: onion soup or something that I needed a bunch of
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: onions with. Yeah, so you just put it in your
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: mouth supposedly, Yeah, a whole thing like does it?
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Wow? Just shove a hot dog butt in your mouth
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: and just here you go. Do you think you could
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: do that?
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: I give it a what I don't know if I could,
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: I have kind of like a small mouth. You can
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: like a full thing of bread. I can't do all
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: that you would, I think.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Just an amount of bread. I don't think you need
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: to put the full that's what I'm saying. That's a
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: wild take. No, you just cut off a slice of bread. Yeah,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: let it soak it up.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: I don't think are you putting part of the crust
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: or you go on just the middle part?
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: I any part? I don't know. I don't know. Today's
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: variety Big ninety eight point seven.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: A little bit of fog this morning, otherwise some sunshine today.

• 14:59
  Speaker 3: in the Fargo area or Fargo, Moorhead, whatever, just anywhere
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: in this area.

• 15:27
  Speaker 2: why wouldn't you?
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly so me, I grew up in Minneapolis. I
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: know there might be some und fans around who are
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: gonna hate this, but I'm a giant Gopher hockey fan
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: growing up. I probably until I was in high school,
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: and you could go out and do things on Friday
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: and Saturday. Every Friday and Saturday, my mom, my dad,
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: my brother, my younger sister would sit down and watch
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: the go for hockey team.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: That was awesome.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: That was our Friday and Saturdays growing up. We'd get
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: pizza from Papa Murphy's and just watch college hockey.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: So, needless to say, you're gonna be rooting for the Gophers,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: which is fine.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Yes, I will yeah, or the rest of my life.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: And they're not a whole lot that could sadly change
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: that now. I do respect you, nd though. One of
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: the greatest rivalries I think in college sports period was
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: the Gophers and und Growing up, it was incredible to watch.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: But the University of Minnesota's hockey team is the number
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: two seed for the tournament and that their first game
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: is Thursday at Shields right here in Fargo. The Shields
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: are Renux.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what time is that going to be done?
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: So that game is that I believe seven thirty Let
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: me check here, seven thirty. Yes, on Thursday, March twenty seventh.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: And if they win, they will play Saturday. So I
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: don't think I'll be able to make the Thursday game.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: That's just a tiny bit too late. Oh but if
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: the game, are you a fan or not?
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, second out, you can stay up past your bedtime.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: If they win Saturday, Corey and I do plan on
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: being at the game. So the first round they will
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: play U mass on Thursday, got it? And then if
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: they win I can't remember if it's Minnesota man Cato
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: or they I think they play like another Minnesota team.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: What do they call this is this the Frozen Four.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Not yet, It's just kind of the college hockey tournament
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: to start, got it? This is to like get to

• 17:10
  Speaker 3: I'm really excited the national tournament. I'm coming too Fargo,
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: and I couldn't be more jacked. And it'll be a
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: lot of fun. Hopefully I can grab some tickets. If not,
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: maybe I'll just buy them from some guy selling them
• 17:20

• 17:22
  Speaker 1: You we're new here, They're like, we're gonna make you

• 17:30
  Speaker 3: You're a hockey fan, you know, the Spods just won
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: the state tournament. Maybe those kids want to go check
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: out the Ghosts. Maybe some of them have a chance
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: to go play for the University of Minnesota at some point.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: It'll be pretty cool to be able to see them
• 17:41

• 17:44
  Speaker 3: and excited about that.
• 17:45

• 17:52
  Speaker 1: are you doing it? Say it?
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Get your tickets, bud, get your tickets.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: Today's variety Big ninety eight point seven, a high of
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: forty three today. Eventually we will get some sunshine. So
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: an alright start to your work week here. Yes, and
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: it is also back to school for some kids. Spring
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: break is ov Yeah.
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: My kids are very excited to go to school. But
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: they are going to school for the very first time.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Here in Fargo.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: They start, they start like this is their first day.
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: I don't know who's more nervous, me or my kids,
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: because first day is scary, just even in a school
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: that you've been going to.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: But this is brand new schools for both of them.
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: I've got an eighth grader and a second grader, and
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: I just don't know how this is gonna go.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, how you feeling, mom? Are you nervous for them?
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: I'm so anxious because what if they have the worst
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: days at school and then they hate me and they're like,
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: how dare you bring us here and ruin our lives?
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Nah?
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Kids are pretty resilient. I think they'll be all right.
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: Is that just something that we say to feel better
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: about ourselves as parents?
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: That's so true.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: I remember every first day of school my mother would
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: take the day off and always see us on the bus.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: She did that until I was a senior in high
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: school and I wasn't. I didn't take the bus, you know,
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: but she had the day off every first day of
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: school of my life.
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: Okay, this is the sweetest thing ever. And that's what
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: I've done with my kids up until this point. What
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: I am gonna do is sneak out of here, yeah,
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: and then you know, see them onto the bus and
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: then come back because I can't miss this first day.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: I think also why I'm so stressed out is.
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: Because typically first days for my kids haven't always been
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: the best. My older kid, when he started kindergarten, he
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: was not there for even an hour before I got
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: a call from the school nurse that he fell off
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: the jungle gym and bit straight through his lip.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: Really, yes, eh, Well, if you have any advice for
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Angie this morning, let us know at seven oh one
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: two eight zero one nine eight seven either A, have
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: you ever been the new kid at a school or
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: have you been the parent of a brand new kid
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: at a school?
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: And can you help us navigate through that here?
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: Yes, morning, if I need it.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: On Big ninety eight point seven. Today's variety, Big ninety
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: eight point seven. Mostly cloudy to get our day started,
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: or maybe foggy is a better word. Otherwise we do
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: get some sunshine, mostly sonny in a high of forty three.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Today, it's Game.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: And Angie Mornings Here, Angie. The astronauts made it back
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: from space, yes, last week, and you might be wondering. Man,
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: they were up there for quite some time, a lot
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: longer than was originally planned.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like nine months or something.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they must have got some overtime, right.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: Oh, I didn't even think about overtime.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: I been thinking about this for weeks.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: How much did they make?
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: All?
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: So these stranded space astronauts came home and what they
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: ended up making in overtime quote unquote is five dollars
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: a day.
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, five dollars a day, yep is what they
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: considered overtime.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: How is that legal? Five dollars a day? What does
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: that come out to? So, yeah, five dollars a day
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: nine months.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: We were kind of talking off the air, like hey,
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: what is this, Like, what does an astronaut just make
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: in a year?
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: What's their salary? What's their day to day?
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: Like?
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when they go like, I don't know, to the
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: office right.
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: When you're not literally floating in space, what are you doing?
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: But how much do they make a year?
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: So in a year they make around one hundred and
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: fifty thousand dollars, which is great money, solid money, Yeah,
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: but you'd think it'd be a lot more right for
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: going to space.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: I feel like the risk rewarded.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: You're not even close.
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: It's not very.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Balanced out at all.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: What they ended up making being stuck in space for
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: two hundred and eighty six days was one thousand, four
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: hundred to thirty dollars.
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: That's the worst thing I've ever heard. That's not even
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: my weekly gross bill. With these two boys that eat
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: me out a.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: House, and this is nothing.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: The risk reward for space and salary is not even
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: close to being comparable.
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: If the absence of them being home wasn't enough of
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: a strain on their respective marriages, the fact that they've
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: made like no money, that's they're all getting divorce.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: They're rich, broke, you know what I mean. Well, I
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: do like that.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: NASA did note this, though NASA did say that meals, lodging,
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: and transportation was covered. Oh yeah, they're gonna all bundle
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: the together, just get themselves a space ship.
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: So mad.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Thank you NASA. Today's variety, Big ninety eight point seven.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: It's Gabe and Angie. We have mostly sunshine and a
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: high of forty three on the way today.

  Speaker 5: We like that.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: I like it. That's way better than snow.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: I was really bum waking up yesterday and seeing or
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: two days ago I was at yesterday whatever. Yeah, waking
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: up and seeing snow in the driveway. I was not
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: thrilled about it. No, it was not great. Speaking of
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: the weekend, you know what was great. We had a
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: great time at Whimmers Diamonds. Yeah, and I were there
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: on Saturday for their big sale promotion and event, and
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: it was so much fun.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: I had a great time.
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the ring and band spectacular and that actually goes
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: through tomorrow.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Yes, it does go until tomorrow.
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: But it was such a vibe and I had a
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: really great time looking at all of the really beautiful
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: pieces that.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: They have there. However, Gabe, I'm a little.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Bit mad at you.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: Oh you're not the first lady who said that to
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: me today, So today I wasn't mine.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: No, I'm just kidding.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: No, I'm a little bit mad at you.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: Because we were looking at all these I was very
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: supportive when you were looking at Cuban chains, Gabe.
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: You want to be a Cuban chain wearing man now.
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: And I feel like I was hyping you up and
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: I was helping you look at like the different lengths
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: of the chain.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: I am not gonna let you sit here. Lie.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: You looked at me and went you with the chain,
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: and don't sit here and lie, Angie, I'm not lying.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: How dare you? I felt you were a good tea.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: I feel like I hyped you up, and I don't
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: think that you were very kind in return when I
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: was looking at engagement rings because I am not engaged yet.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: But that's why you look for an engagement ring, because
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: you want to be engaged.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: And you were kind of trolling me a little bit
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: about the fact that I was so into finding my
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: engagement ring.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Why was that?
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: How are you sure this is on the way? You
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: don't even really know, do you? How could you know?
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: I feel like he and I have discussed the M
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: word before that we would want to marry each other,
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: and I told you that, but I feel like you
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: kept being I felt gas lit, is what I felt.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: Here's what I will say I learned a big word
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: this past Saturday, and that is the word manifest. I
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: have learned that that is such a lady thing to do.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: I've never heard any of my buddies when we're playing
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: Call of Duty or whatever, go, you know, I'm really
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: gonna manifest a ten thousand dollars rais.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: At work tomorrow or whatever.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: But so I have learned that this is something that
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: ladies tend to do or whatever more than fella. So
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: I can appreciate that you were manifesting this potentially happening.
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: Yes, I am manifesting it. And let me tell you,
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: I think my manifesting powers are working because I did
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: take a picture with an engagement ring on.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, gosh, I'm really putting the pressure.
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: And even though it didn't fit me all the way,
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: it was just like just to see. But I did
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: send the picture to my boyfriend and he went ahead
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: and went on the website and became like a little
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: member of whatever the women's situation.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's on the way. I just don't know when.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: But stop hating on me, gab or you're not invited
• 25:58
