Here's what you need to know. Time magazine has released it's annual Most Influential
0:04
People in the World, and Pike everybody's talking about it. She made the
0:07
list to do a lipa do alipa. Oh boy, what did she do
0:12
that was so influential? I mean, she's obviously just pumping out hit after
0:15
hit. Yeah, and she's incredibly attractive. But that's all I can think
0:19
of, all right, twenty one Savage, Jeffrey Wright, Patrick Mahomes,
0:22
My Rudolph, just a few of the highlights. This is going to be
0:25
on TV for their little ceremony for It is going to be on ABC May
0:30
twelfth. The Michael J. Fox is set to receive a Time Impact Award,
0:34
which would be great good for him. JF and u Alipa's performing.
0:37
Oh you might want to market now, let me ask you a personal question.
0:41
Okay, who would win most Influential Person in Amanda Leese World this past
0:46
year? Huh? You know, Pike, you'd be up there? Really?
0:51
Yeah? You coming back saving my life? Yeah? Yeah? Me,
0:55
you know I did. I did save you from that cool that one
0:58
afternoon one to a life preserver for me. Ah yeah, I'm gonna I'm
1:03
gonna put you up there. That's amazing to hear. Wow, you'd be
1:08
you'd be in mine. Thanks. I mean, it was kind of like
1:11
force now that it would be you, it'd be Jordan Love. Jordan Love
1:15
really quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, really impacted my life in a great
1:19
way this past year when I was down. Really didn't bring you up that
1:23
one week thinking that it was a stop just it really was. It was
1:26
one week, always a sudden you jumped in and you were like, oh,
1:30
like he was some great god out of nowhere in a way. Okay,
1:36
that's fair. Watch out for this scam. They're saying it's a new
1:38
one, but you and I both kind of knew that this was going on.
1:41
It's called the can you hear me? Scam? So somebody is gonna
1:44
call you, whether they pretend a government official or to be like a bankrupt
1:47
or something, a bank rep or something can tell you this is a bank
1:52
Robert, do you have a few minutes? So they're gonna say can you
1:56
hear me? And the whole point is for you to say yes. And
1:59
now they're saying that if you say yes and they record it, which is
2:01
what they're supposed to be doing. They can start charging your phone or your
2:06
account for things. I don't see how this is possible. Maybe I'm not
2:09
smart enough to understand how that would work. But well, if you call
2:14
and you need like let's say you're opening your credit card and they need a
2:15
verbal you know. I remember Home Alone two when Kevin mccowister booked the hotel
2:20
room only using a recording. Uh huh, I guess that. I don't
2:23
know with AI now is it even relevant? Because couldn't they just take my
2:27
entire voice already and say anything they want with it? You know what I
2:30
mean? I just watched Spike. Don't give them any other ideas. I'm
2:35
just saying, like, what's possible right now? I just saw on Instagram
2:38
a video of Donald Trump and Joe Biden going back and forth in actual video
2:43
arguing about the best Blink Win eighty two albums of all time. It was
2:46
the greatest thing I've seen, and it was so real. Who's gonna get
2:51
your vote in November? With such a hot debate? Hey, listen,
2:53
I mean, did either of a map like which? It was a consensus.
2:58
The untitled album is number one, not only blank album, but possibly
3:02
the best album. Anybody's Biten and Trump agreed on this, Yeah they did.
3:07
Yeah, it was really refreshing. It was to see them really meet
3:10
on those party lines, I mean over blink on. Donald threw a couple
3:15
jabs in of course, but at the least they agreed. I don't want
3:21
to know that are going on. I'll just stay over here in my little
3:23
bubble. This got my attention, though. There's a restaurant in Italy that
3:27
is gonna get people a free bottle of wine if you just give up your
3:29
phone at the door. No that I mean, listen, dinner without phones.
3:31
It's it's optimal. I mean something to be said for this. I
3:35
have to maybe I'll hit up the restaurant. We're going to Italy in August.
3:38
You know, just got my passport, my first ever passport, in
3:42
the mail. In my god, it's the worst photo you've ever seen.
3:45
It's pathetic. We were just going through a bunch of things we were looking
3:50
for, like social Security cards, and I saw my passport because I haven't
3:53
renewed it because like we have we have my husband and I both they aren't
3:55
renewed because we haven't gone on a trip. And we were looking at our
3:59
picture because this was like when I was previous life, all of it.
4:02
I'm like, I'm like, who is this girl? Yeah? Who?
4:06
Dis just wildly so much. I mean, you seemed really consistent in your
4:12
appearance over there, you'd be surprised you on the It's like they took a
4:15
bucket of grease and dumped it over my head. Really yeah, I mean,
4:19
oh, my shiny, I just looked greasy because I remember the day
4:24
I was wearing a hat and they made me take the hat off so that
4:26
the hair was horrendous. Did you not realize you couldn't wear a hat?
4:30
I don't know what I was thinking, just didn't care. And the nice
4:31
thing is a good thing with your passport, you'll have that for a whole
4:33
lot of yours. I think it's ten. Yeah, that's the nice thing.
4:36
But if this restaurant is doing that free bottle of wine for simply putting
4:40
your phone away for forty five minutes, it's like you're gonna be giving away
4:43
a lot of bottles of wine. Who would go there and go? No?
4:46
I couldn't. I couldn't. Couldn't give my phone up for a free
4:48
bottle of wine. Yeah, I mean unless it was like an emergency.
4:51
I feel like you'd be in the running because I don't know. I don't
4:54
know what you like more being on your phone or drinking wine. It's a
4:59
toss up. What would you say of calling me right out? No,
5:02
I'd be able to give up my I'd be able to give up my phone
5:05
for the wine. Of course, are you kidding? There's your hands like
5:09
an in the morning, Big nainety eight point seven. I saw that there's
5:12
a college, American University, which just sounds so generic, but well that's
5:15
the name of it. The name of the university is American University. But
5:18
they're offering they're offering a new course this fall called swift Anomics. So I've
5:26
heard courses before about Taylor Swift and I kind of laughed about it, thinking
5:28
it was a joke. But yeah, they've all been about like her writing
5:31
or just like sociology, but this one is specifically about the economics of it.
5:35
No, she reached billionaire status recently, and so they're going to study
5:39
like her effect on the concert industry, specifically like the Ticketmaster ordeal and just
5:44
the Eras tour the money it made, which it just it's wild. Does
5:48
it need to be an entire semester class. Probably not. It sounds pretty
5:51
useless to me, especially considering the money people pay for college. Yeah,
5:56
I mean, I guess if it is the hook to be like, hey,
5:58
this is an economics class, but we're gonna call it swiftnomics, so
6:01
you actually sign up to be a part of it, right, I mean,
6:03
kind of a little trickery, But it got me thinking about the most
6:08
useless college classes that are out there that maybe you took in college, because
6:12
if you went to college, you know there are definitely a lot of them
6:15
that just aren't necessary seven on one two eight h one ninety eight seven.
6:17
For example, I took a swimming class in college, which I wouldn't even
6:21
say it was useless because I was not a good swimmer, not saying I
6:24
am now, but I definitely like it's a great workout. I took bad
6:28
a bad minten class. Didn't need to do that for three n You should
6:31
probably preface why you were taking these courses. Well, you weren't just like
6:34
going to school for badminton, No, not specifically, but I was taking
6:40
a physical education as a major for a while. Yeah, And so there
6:43
was a lot of random like there was a dance class, but it was
6:45
a stupid so one of my when I first entered college, I my major
6:49
was theater and my minor was dance until my dad like sat down and had
6:54
like, hey, hey, that's the dumbest thing of the world, like
6:57
what are you doing here? What and Mike, well, okay, fine,
7:00
broadcasting, I'll go for that. But one of the most useless classes
7:03
I took hilarious because I do it now, but yoga. I thought it'd
7:08
be just like a shoe in an easy course. Ended up getting a D
7:11
in the class because I didn't know that first of all, you probably should
7:15
show up. Second of all, like she was handing out paper, she
7:18
was taking it so serious. So at the very end it was like,
7:20
God, tell us what like a vinyasa and all these different things. Burg
7:25
I was like, uh uh, failed, it's amazing, how well you
7:28
know, they have to find something to talk about Kansas b yoga. I
7:30
took a coaching wrestling class at one point you messa aced that. Of course.
7:35
Of course, got a lot of comments here. Somebody said art appreciation,
7:39
and that just brought me right back. It was a course you had
7:41
to take at MSUM. I was lucky enough to be admitted to that prestigious
7:46
university. Why do I feel like you were doing that when we were still
7:48
working together in radio. Well, I was doing this show, yeah,
7:50
and then going to class in the afternoon. So can you imagine getting up
7:54
three forty five in the morning too, this whole morning so thing working and
7:57
then having a one pm class at MSUM in a dark theater where all it
8:01
was was a projector with a bunch of different paintings and art pieces that the
8:05
professor would go through, and this one called Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
8:11
I was catching so many z's I slept more in that class than I did
8:13
at night. Really yeah, fun fact, Okay, question for you,
8:16
what class were you taking when you kept taking pictures of us? Like you
8:20
would just like come in and be like you'd like last last minute, Like
8:22
hey, Amanda, can you just like it was pathetic, you'd like make
8:26
me go to the side. You're like, no, I need like a
8:28
more of a portrait file mixing. It's just so weird because again I was
8:31
in communications, had to take a photography class, so college photography never went
8:37
never did my assignments on time. But sometimes I would last minute, just
8:39
have to take some photos. Literally, there was one project where I took
8:43
photos with my iPhone on the way into class. Wow, turned it,
8:48
put a black and white filter on it, and turn it in as a
8:52
project. Meanwhile, people had spent weeks, you know, getting awesome stuff.
8:56
Somebody is chiming in here on Facebook saying keyboarding. That was like a
9:01
fun class for me. Did you you had keyboarding? And I would assume
9:03
in high school scene, if you could type as fast as you could remember
9:07
the games, they had fun. Yeah, Yeah, that was that was
9:09
kind of fun. History of Baseball was a class Sarah Nelson took on her
9:13
Facebook page. You think Sarah is still using our history of baseball experience?
9:18
Ah, that is good. Somebody said they took an intro to computers in
9:22
two thousand and two, which is just interesting to think because of how quickly
9:26
it changed. So like everything you learned in a few years was pretty much
9:30
irrelevant. We're ending with this one, are you ready sure? Jen chiming
9:33
in most useless class of all time? And I have not heard this.
9:37
And remember my minor was dance. It was called social dance. What anybody
9:41
else feeling like? She walked into class, it was like, but you
9:45
also had to hold the conversation while you dance social dance. It makes sense
9:48
ta get a man in the morning. Seven. You know what, we're
9:52
already it's what April like, we're already discussing plans of who we're going to
9:56
spend the holidays with. You know, which in law are we going to
9:58
go to? Because you know, it's just it's tough when you're married and
10:01
you know, like us, for example, we both have divorced parents.
10:05
So now you're talking about two sides there's four, yeah, and so it's
10:07
hard to spread the love. But this mom who on TikTok had the gall
10:11
to post this video is getting some backlash because it shows her and her two
10:16
sons and they're young, and she said that she has called them Mommy's boys
10:20
first of all, and said that she's raising her boys to be obsessed with
10:24
her, so their future wife can't say they're going to her side for the
10:28
holidays. That's bizarre. Well it's the Internet, but it's bizarre stuff.
10:31
Also get it. As you know, my mom passed away and every relationship
10:37
I was in prior because she never met my husband. Right, my mom
10:39
was very much the like holiday is all in and when she was alive,
10:43
thankfully, it was a very much a situation where my dad, who lives
10:48
in Colorado, he is not a holiday guy. Like he is not like
10:52
you need to be here for Christmas. He's just not. It's like go
10:54
when you want to, not a big deal, especially when they live like
10:58
Lauren, my wife's dad lives in Florida, and so it's like we can
11:01
visit any time, like it doesn't necessarily need to be during the holidays,
11:03
so it kind of makes it easy. So my mom was very much that
11:07
person. And when Nick and I got together, I was kind of nervous
11:09
about it because he had a huge Fourth of July for some reason in both
11:13
of our families was a big deal and he kind of forg out. He's
11:16
like, all right, like this is we go to the lake. He's
11:20
a big Fourth of July. Coy. Yeah, And they all used to
11:22
go to the river and get together. Thankfully, when we met, like
11:24
his his sisters stopped going for the Fourth of July a little bit because they
11:30
have older kids and stuff now, so it kind of faded within. But
11:33
we have a standing Thanksgiving as his family, and that's when we do Christmas
11:37
too, so it's nice, but it is interesting to find a balance.
11:41
How do you get Santa to come early? It's really crazy. It is
11:45
like a fee, I imagine, right, that's his time off. Santa
11:50
doesn't Santa doesn't come early. Those are Grandma, Nanny and Poppy and the
11:56
they are they You said you do Christmas, right, which made me think
12:01
that Sama would come early, but that would be wild. Yeah, like
12:03
he actually sends the turkeys. It's crazy turkeys too. So there's elves and
12:09
then there's turkeys. And if your family has not experienced Santa's turkeys, you
12:16
gotta love the holiday turkeys are so now do you are those the turkeys you
12:20
killing? Is Santa sacrificing his own turkeys? No? No, no,
12:24
no, no, no no no. They just come and visit. Just
12:28
you're just turkey eggs. So many things in people. There's kids, just
12:33
Pike and just ras and having a good time. Right, it was a
12:37
legitimate question about your holiday traditions. We definitely spread the love around to you
12:41
know, and thankfully I am. One of the things I love about my
12:45
wife is her parents both live in interesting places, you know what I mean.
12:48
Like, meanwhile, no offense to Iowa, but your husband's families in
12:52
Iowa, which is a long drive, and then you get there and it's
12:54
like, meanwhile, my wife is from Duluth, which is like just a
12:58
lovely trip, you know, to go there, and her dad lives in
13:01
Orlando, Florida. So it's just like, you know, got the lottery
13:03
there. Every was gonna say you scored the jackpot, but I do.
13:07
It's crossed my mind. I know Bricks is only three and a half years
13:09
old, but kind of lady is he gonna fight or like a significant other
13:13
where you just go, gosh, what if he what if he marries into
13:18
a monster in law who doesn't or like his girlfriend? Just I can't imagine.
13:24
I can't imagine the experience he's gonna have with you as his mom.
13:28
It's gonna be wild. What a lucky dog and Amanda in the morning on
13:33
seven. You're always looking for cute date ideas, aren't you. I mean
13:37
all the time. We could all spice it up a little bit rather than
13:41
just going out to eat. Well, there's a trend you may have seen
13:43
this on TikTok that's called paint each other And it's a no horrible thing that
13:48
you and your partner can do where you basically take an hour to paint each
13:52
other's portraits. So you sit face to face, he eats got your canvas?
13:56
Oh, okay, I'm going on Titanic style, like that's what's in
14:00
I had you. I'm laying on the couch as he's just painting this.
14:05
I don't know if i'd want a painting of that of myself. I don't.
14:09
I don't think i'd love my wife's painting entertaining. It could be super
14:16
entertaining, but that's something I'm gonna hang in the foyer. Interesting. So
14:20
basically you sit there for an hour, you paint each other, and obviously,
14:22
unless you're some sort of artist, the paintings aren't going to be good.
14:26
And then you do the big reveal at the end and you turn them
14:28
around and everybody laughs or gets mad and about how hideous their face looks or
14:33
how big there my ears? That big? Honey? Oh that's see.
14:37
This actually sounds really entertaining. Are you bit? Are you an artist?
14:39
No, not even a little bit. I've told you that. We were
14:41
actually just talking about classes that you weren't good at. I had to take
14:45
summer school I believe it was seventh grade going into eighth grade for art because
14:50
I had to paint or draw this bird, and I just I could not
14:54
a zero concept do it. Without knowing any other information, I got a
14:58
feeling that it had more to do with you just no participating. No,
15:01
because come on, seventh grade, trust me, literally show up and you're
15:03
not going to have to go to summer school that's had a hard art teacher.
15:07
Yeah. Yeah, I'm not making that up. I think that just
15:11
knowing you, I feel like there might have been maybe some attitude issues.
15:15
No, maybe you skipping class Nope, talking to your friends, maybe playing
15:20
brick Breaker on your Nokia cell phone, not rolling it out busted. Get
15:24
Amanda in the morning, Come on, get up, Amanda Stills. Let's
15:30
see. Let's see. These two are adorable, Nelly and Ashanti. They
15:37
not only are engaged, but they are having a baby together. She didn't
15:41
confirm it on Instagram and this is just an adorable video. Yeah, she's
15:46
getting ready backstage for a big show and then then this happens. I show
15:56
you, I don't need about nine months cool. I was just a look
16:00
on her face. She's like, and here's the pregnancy test. So congrats
16:03
to them. They're so cute. Yeah, I love that. To the
16:06
big powerhouses from the early to mid two thousands, just grew up with just
16:11
I don't know. Every time you hear their music, yes, brings you
16:15
right back. And she's forty three. I don't know if it's our first
16:17
child or not, but good for her, good for Nelly too. So
16:18
yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I hang on one second, Yeah,
16:22
I'm right. Did you see this? Jason Kelsey? He lost his
16:26
Super Bowl ring in a pool of chili? And I'm like, okay,
16:30
I read the headline because I didn't watch the entire podcast, kind of faded
16:34
a little from keeping up with it during in the football season. Oh yeah
16:37
it trust me. This time of year football is like I stopped listening to
16:41
any packer podcasts, So I was like, what do you mean a pool
16:45
of chili? But literally, this is what happened. But I legitimately lost
16:48
my super Bowl ring in this event. They could not find it. Searching
16:52
through the chili to try and find the sock that had my super Bowl ring
16:56
in it, we have still yet to find it. All of this stuff
17:00
has been thrown away, so I think we can safely assume that my super
17:03
Bowl ring is now in a landfill, uh, someplace in the Cincinnati Tri
17:07
state area. We've already put the insurance claim in. Hilarious, but you
17:11
know that there are going to be people grabbing metal detectors whatever and going out
17:15
to the landfill and trying to find this ring. Okay, really, why
17:19
wouldn't you? Why do I feel like locally somebody lost something and they did
17:23
this well? Yeah, crazy. I want to say it was a ring
17:26
like a wedding ring, because you know, I'm not saying it's not possible.
17:29
But even if you did get it, I guess you just have to
17:32
be a big eagle span. I don't know how much you could sell a
17:33
super Bowl ring for Yeah, I don't know. Or you could be a
17:36
good person in return it. I think that's probably what they would do,
17:40
you would assume, because then it'd be I mean, you're probably thinking it's
17:42
Jason Kelsey, You're getting some sort of rowar. Right. You've ever been
17:45
to a landfill? I don't think so? Pretty good time, is it?
17:49
Yeah? What have you done? There? Always to go? You
17:52
know, my dad always had materials. We had to dump the letter for
17:56
some reason. And I remember it's like hang out. I remember I remember
18:00
one time. This is a quick aside but made me. I think my
18:03
brother told the story at the funeral. But we had a TV we were
18:06
trying to dispose of. So we brought it to this landfill outside of Glendon
18:08
and they're like, no, you can't. What is that a TV?
18:11
You can't bring that in here. And so we went back home and then
18:15
my dad gave us a sledgehammer and just said to break the TV up in
18:18
a bunch of pieces. So we did, and we drove back and they
18:21
looked in the trailer. They're like, all right, all good, No,
18:26
nice little dad. Yeah, valuable life lesson from dad. Oh that's
18:30
great, all right. Swifties, of course, are losing their minds because
18:33
t minus some some odd hours before midnight till it's midnight, we got what
18:40
twelve plus four. I'm sure there's like a Taylor Swift ticker for people going,
18:44
oh my gosh, I can't wait to hear the Tortured Poets Department album
18:47
that will be released, like I had mentioned at midnight, but there is
18:51
maybe a leak already. So there was a Google drive link. It's all
18:55
over social media has seventeen different songs, and some are saying, well,
18:59
we don't know if it's real or if it's an AI created something, which
19:02
is just wild that we're in this time that even though swifties are going,
19:04
I don't know, but it is, it's it's it seems like she's released
19:10
a lot of music, and she has over the last like four years.
19:11
You know, there's like the two albums in the one year basically, and
19:15
then Midnights and now this. I just worry that sometimes there's just too much.
19:18
Well then it's interesting because she's already and maybe it's just Trav saying it,
19:22
but there's been a lot of speculation she's been working continuously on more music.
19:26
Yeah, and then some of it's about their relationship, but maybe she
19:30
has kind of an endgame where once you know, and I'm acting as though
19:36
there's just a lot of speculation that they are supposed to There was a rumor
19:38
that they were getting ready to move in together, like finally pulling the plug
19:42
on that. What if you get married, I mean, there is gonna
19:45
come a point where you're gonna just want to step away and have kids and
19:48
have that normalacy. He's supposed to be retiring here in a couple of years.
19:52
But a good time to go away because this eras tour, this this
19:55
whole era that she's in, it's a lot. So it would be a
19:57
natural time to like step away, let people miss you, and then years
20:02
later come back and have this massive coming. And if she's thinking, I
20:04
mean financially, I mean she's only a billionaire, right, So we're trying
20:07
to get to that trilly which is the goal for So if she releases this
20:12
now and she's working on all this, then when she has kids and she
20:15
can release that album and probably be financially stable, exactly. That's the thing.
20:19
You gotta get that trilly bike it a minute in the morning, Big
20:22
ninety eight point seven. You want suspect a thing when you hear that telephone
20:29
room by s freend fucking this lesson by spread son, you want to arrested
20:38
by friend. So we got this inquiry. Is that the right word?
20:41
Inquiry? Inquiry? Yeah, so it's just it's a it's a weird word,
20:45
but yes, incorrect. So it was a husband who'd reached out and
20:48
inquired and he has a wife and a lovely son they share together. Now
20:52
the wife is very very proud of this son. And she happy, you
20:55
know, like a lot of moms, thinks that her boy can do no
20:56
wrong. Oh right already, Oh boy, hikes Frank, here we go.
21:07
Hello, Hey, we gotta talk. Who is this? This is
21:12
Roger, you know down the street. Hey, listen, your boy keeps
21:17
coming over here and peeing on my gnomes, and today I'm putting an end
21:22
to it. Okay, wait, I'm sorry, don't play dumb with me.
21:27
This is Roger, you know, the big brown house on the corner,
21:32
the one with the lawn gnomes. Uh okay, Hey, and you're
21:36
saying my son is doing what been on them? Okay, sir, I
21:41
think you have the wrong kid. My son has not peeed on any lawns.
21:47
Oh so now I'm a liar. No, I'm not saying. I
21:49
just think you're very mistaken, I you know. But just listen, lady,
21:56
I watch with my own two eyeballs as your son dropped his truck houses
22:00
and turned my precious gnomes into some ballpark urinal and I will not tolerate this.
22:07
Okay, all right, Look, Slair, I have no clue what
22:08
you're talking about, but I know the fact that my son has not been
22:12
to your house or would he ever do anything like that. He's a good
22:15
boy. What are you on? Small? Yeah, people small kids like
22:22
that. Don't talk about kids seeing creepy. I don't call Okay, I
22:26
know good Okay, you're just a creep. Stop what is happening? Brand
22:37
what I don't need to get to upset? Listen, nobody peed on anything
22:41
that I know of. This is Pike and Mandy in the morning, a
22:44
big ninety eight point seven. You're a victim of Pike's prank. Oh my
22:47
goodness, that didn't take long to get these lit. You don't mess up
22:52
people's Wispike, No, I went I was that wasn't even that was like
22:56
not full mom up there that. My heart is still racing. I'm still
23:02
kind of mad at you. Actually, And you know what's so funny.
23:04
I kind of figured this would happen because it was actually your husband, Kevin,
23:07
who reached out to us thinking it'd be funny to prank call you because
23:11
he knows how protective you are of your son, who, what I'm told,
23:14
is a very good boy. Oh my gosh, okay, Oh he
23:18
doesn't even know what he just started like, Oh my gosh, that is
23:23
too funny. I guess any time you want to return the favor, that
23:26
would be great. I'm gonna start seeming Yeah, I mean, you're sure
23:30
he wouldn't be peeing on any one homes? Can we really rule that out
23:34
taking a manna in the morning. It's a sticky situation. Can you imagine
23:41
this wife, her and her husband, they've been together sometime now, and
23:45
they just are finding out they're having a baby boy. Well, when they
23:48
first got together, they were discussing names for potential babies down the road as
23:52
couples. Do you know nothing in the plans. But the husband, who's
23:56
name, by the way, for this purpose is John Smith the third.
24:00
Okay, so he's the third of his name, which is not John Smith,
24:03
but whatever it is. So he said that if he had a boy,
24:06
it would mean a lot to him to continue the tradition and name the
24:10
boy John Smith. And honestly, if I'm in a relationship with Nick Linder
24:15
the fifth, yeah, I'm expecting what you just don't you just expect it.
24:19
And I don't even know if there'd be a conversation. It would be
24:22
highly likely unless you just wanted to ruin your family, I would think,
24:26
and she's all about it right away. She's like, it was just cute
24:29
that, you know, most guys don't seem to care as much about something
24:32
like that, but this guy really did. So she was on board.
24:34
Well, they get home from the ultrasound finding out they're having a boy.
24:40
Would suddenly she's kind of realizing that she's cooled on the idea a little bit
24:44
that now that it's real, now there's actually a baby inside of her time.
24:48
Yeah, you don't feel like a John Smith to me. It's the
24:51
old yeah about that. So she wants to know if she's you know,
24:55
in the right to be able to switch I mean obviously to your baby too.
24:57
Heck, you're the one cook in it. You got to say,
25:02
of course you have a say. But for me, if it's if there's
25:06
a passion in a family situation here, you ben, you just you go
25:11
with what's the alternative? What silly name? Are you going to come up
25:12
with? What meaningless name that probably every other kid has? You know what
25:17
I mean, You're right, like, just do it. Just there is
25:18
something about the meaningful name, like there is something a part of all of
25:22
our kids' names that are family related. Oh yeah, yeah, so Sydney
25:26
Briggs. Uh no, so first names, those are just our choices.
25:30
Yeah, we've got an investment in Briggs and Stratton. No is that what
25:33
it's called? No idea? What is that? Some I think that's a
25:37
brand anyway. Uh, lou Anne is Sydney's middle name, and so it
25:42
was Mary lou That is Nick's mom. My mom was Barbara Ann, and
25:47
my grandma's grandma who passed was Janice Lou so it was lou Anne. Like
25:51
we got all of them in one name. Nice. And then Briggs Detton
25:56
wild. I know, Denton Denton not Denton Denton. Denton is a family
26:03
name on Nick's side, and it's a middle name for a lot of the
26:07
guys. Nice Okay, So yeah, middle names definitely are sort of there
26:11
for that right or also you could just do something totally silly, but it's
26:15
a middle name, so who cares. Like, my middle name is the
26:18
same as my dad's middle name, which is the same as his dad's middle
26:19
name. I think that's great. So Lauren has accepted if we did have
26:22
a child, if it was a male, like that's probably middle name is
26:26
going to be Phillip, which you know, I'm not even crazy about is
26:29
a name, but it's like, but it's a cool at least, you
26:32
know, but it's a tradition that you would carry on a legacy or however
26:36
you whatever. It's at least a story. It's better than just some random
26:40
name where it's like, oh, well, how'd you come up with that?
26:41
I don't know. We liked how it sounded. My vote is that
26:45
she needs to allow this to continue. Yeah, because if not, if
26:48
you're really going to put a hard stance on this, that just kind of
26:51
says a lot about you, I think. Anyway, I don't know anything
26:53
about her other than this, but I'm definitely judging. And that's okay.
26:56
Yeah, and that's coming from big Philly style over here. Okay, Amanda
27:02
in the morning on SIG seven. Here's what I wouldn't do is use a
27:06
website called Ashley Madison. If you heard of this, of course, it's
27:10
been around for years now. This is the website where adulterers gather. I
27:14
thought they shut this down. I just watched a documentary about the rise and
27:17
fall of Ashley Madison. Well apparently it's still a thing because they've conducted a
27:22
survey of their users. Now their slogan, by the way, life is
27:25
short, have an affair. So they conducted the survey of the members and
27:29
they asked them questions like, would you be more willing to cheat on your
27:33
significant other or cheat on your taxes? What do you think? Eighty seven
27:38
percent of the people surveyed would rather cheat on their partner. I guess that's
27:44
why they're there, Like, you're already doing it. Clearly, don't have
27:48
a contect. If I'm standing in the donut shop and they do a survey
27:52
of would you rather eat a donut or an apple, It's like, well,
27:56
you're asking the round guy, what do you think I'm doing here?
27:59
You know? So? Yeah, I mean the sample is definitely a little
28:02
skewed. But then also they went on to say, like, would you
28:06
rather have an affair on your partner or vote for the opposite political party?
28:10
Ninety rather cheat on their party? Yeah, gosh, A staggering eighty nine
28:15
percent of the members would rather cheat on their partner than on their real estate
28:18
agent. You have you ever cheated on your real estate agent? I don't
28:22
have one. Yeah, it's back. It's basically I don't know, Like
28:25
just you buy a house with one and then when it comes time to buy
28:27
another house, you go to somebody else. I don't know. Also,
28:30
we're dealing with probably a different lifestyle of these people, the amount of money,
28:33
what they're doing, like all of that, just in general multiple property
28:37
situation. Yeah, so it's like cheating on your taxes. That's like a
28:41
jail time and then good luck cheating on your spouse in jail. What.
28:45
Yeah, you know what, this is probably unlikely. I don't know if
28:49
you get a conjugal visit. I don't know if you get it. I
28:52
don't know if you have a choice. Sometimes from the footage I see
