  Speaker 1: I have been conducting some independent research this week. I

  Speaker 1: don't know if you two know this. Yesterday was National
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Coffee Day. Megan, you talked about that in the little victories. Yeah,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: I've been conducting some independent research where this week. I
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: have been recording the audio of what it sounds like
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: when I go and get my wife's coffee order.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: You're so weird, but I like it. I can't wait
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: to hear what this sounds like.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I want you to hear this very real audio of
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: what it sounds like when I order a coffee for Corey.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Take a listen. 53 Orlando left HD Y pivot F Dover.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Sounds exactly like what I got her.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I bet.
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Sounds exactly. So that was on Monday.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I haven't done a coffee order yet today, but this
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: was what I had for you yesterday. This very real

  Speaker 1: audio of me getting my wife's coffee order.

  Speaker 3: Take a listen. It's going to be American Exchange. Can it.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: All right. With three jet rib Z brownie.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: If you could tell the first order wasn't as good
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: as the second one.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: I don't know that second one. That's one of my favorites, too.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure. One of the best.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I need to know who else is ordering God knows
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: what when they are going through the coffee line.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: 701-280-1987.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Now, I'm not sure if you're aware, but I was
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: obviously kidding. Those are NFL plays.
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: But that weirdly does sound, that second one especially, the
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: American Exchange with the thing and the yeah and the
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: who and the what.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: I know, I was thinking American Espresso.

• 1:51
  Speaker 3: 701-280-1987.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I'm on a mission. Who has the most complicated order
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: while going through the coffee drive-thru? Because it's going to
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: go my wife and whoever is not even a close second.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: It is incredible.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I have to have her type them out for me
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: because I will never remember by the time I get there.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: That's fair. Just text it to me, please.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Thanks.
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: 701-280-1987.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Do you have a wild coffee order going through the lineup?
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Let us know this morning.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Big 98.7. Celebrating life's little victories. Victory. Every morning we
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: practice gratitude on Big 98.7. If I could, I would
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: keep this feeling in a plastic jar. Bust it out
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: whenever someone's acting hard. I just really needed a win,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: Share your little victories with us at 701-280-1987.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Victories big or small, we take them all. Megan, do
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: you have a little victory today?
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: Okay, my little victory was, okay, yesterday was National Coffee Day.
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: So I got home and I was like, hey, pups,
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: let's go get a coffee. I'll get you a Pub Cups.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: They ran to the vehicle, whatever. We went to Ziggy's
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: like we talked about yesterday.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: Went through the drive-thru and my dogs were so well
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: behaved in the drive-thru waiting for their pup cup that
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: even the lady at the window was saying, she's like,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: I am so impressed with how well they're listening and
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: how good they are.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I go, the only reason they're listening right now is
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: because they know they're getting pup cups. Otherwise they would
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: be barking their heads off. But a win is a win, girl.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: Right, right.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: I was like, but thank you for thinking my dogs
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: are so well behaved.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Did they do the, I cannot remember if it's there,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: so I apologize, Ziggy, if I'm throwing you under the bus.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Do they do the pup cup and then they put
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the treat on top?
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yes, yeah. Oh, I've been through that drive-thru with
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: the dog. It's a good one. Yeah, that's right. Angie,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: do you have a little victory today?
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: We got caught up on The Voice.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: So, like, our family show that we watch together is
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: The Voice. However, I feel like there are so many
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: episodes when it's the blind auditions that that it takes
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: forever to catch up, but we're finally up to date.
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: And I will say this, my kids are real judgy.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're like, what? Why would they turn for that? No,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: they don't have good voices. I don't like it.
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: But it's very fun to watch them judge because obviously
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: they get that from me.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, I like it.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: I need to watch this because my boy Riley Green
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: is one of the coaches and he is sick.
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: He really is very attractive to the point where I
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: think some people choose him as his coach because they
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: just think he's hot.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: And you know what? That's fair because that's how I
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: make choices. I would be guilty of that. I'm going
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: to rally green.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: They're just trying to get close enough to smell his
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: hair or something.
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Smell the stache. It's all about his stache.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: I'm normally not a stache girl, but on him, I'm like, okay, yeah.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, fair enough.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: My Little Victory, your boy as of today, has been
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: a married guy for three years.
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: Oh!
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Congratulations. Happy anniversary. Thank you.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I have three years ago made the greatest choice of
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: my life. And, you know, my wife probably questions it
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: every day for the past three years.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: But I did something right.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: As long as you understand that.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: And Corey is the greatest human of all time, the
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: best mom. And so I'm excited to go home today
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: and probably not really get to do a whole time
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: with her because we have a two-month-old baby.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: But.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: We might do, you know, go out to eat or something.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Kaylee's totally fine in a restaurant and things like that.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: But pretty exciting that, you know, Angie says something in
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: this building when I'm walking around sometimes that like it's
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: like an eyebrow razor, but it's like, no, I get it.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: When she's like, Gabe, you know, he's like a father.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Like that's a thing.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: It is kind of weird.
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I feel the same way when it's, oh, Gabe, he's
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: a husband.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: You know that, right?
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: But I know, you know what, I will say, I
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: know that you're an excellent husband.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: I appreciate that. Thank you.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: Love is Blind is returning October 14th to Netflix. And
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: I am a diehard fan of this show, even though.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: Most of the time, love is not blind and it
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: does not work out for these people.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Not at all. No, but I'm invested.
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: And so in the spirit of love is blind, rather
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: than judge these contestants on what they look like, I've
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: been looking at the professions.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Of these dudes. And one of the guys.
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: His profession, this season is set in Boston, is.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Beekeeper, right?
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: Which is a very children's book profession.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Like, a beekeeper? Who's a beekeeper in real life?
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Is that a full-time thing? Like, do you do something
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: else beyond that?
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: Right? But it doesn't say, like, when, you know, if
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: you go to Love is Blind on their social media pages,
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: it shows the people. And it only has beekeeper listed
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: for this dude, Matt.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: So I looked up.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: What is the average yearly salary for a beekeeper in
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: Boston specifically?
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Because is this like a viable?
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: If I'm looking to date a dude and he says, well,
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: I'm a beekeeper, my initial thought is, sir, how do
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: you afford life? So I looked it up and turns
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: out the average salary for a beekeeper is $ 55, 000 a year.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: How old is this man?
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: That's solid.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: I know, right? He's in his 30s.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: He's in his 30s. $ 55, 000 a year.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: But then I was looking at all the other professions
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: that these dudes have and it begs the question, like,
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: what makes more than a beekeeper? What makes less than
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: a beekeeper? So there's a guy who's a director of sales.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: Do you think the director of sales makes more?
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: Way more.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I'm going to assume they do all right unless they're
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: selling matches.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Matches? Well, $ 225K a year. Yeah, way more.
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: For a director of sales. So then there's the HR generalist.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what that means.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: Do you generalize human resources?
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Like, I don't know either.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Do you think that makes more or less than the beekeeper?
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Sounds like a.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Great gig because I could never do it.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you should never be in HR.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: Never.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: But I'm going to guess more. Yeah, they make 80K
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: a year.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: That's solid.
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: There's a senior compliance manager. Who needs to comply? I
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: don't know.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: But they make more or less than the beekeeper.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: More.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: I'm guessing everybody is making more.
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: $ 160, 000 a year. What's a senior compliance manager?
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: And I do this. Now, there's a wine sales consultant.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: Do you think the wine sales consultant makes more or
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: less than the beekeeper? More.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: I would also guess more. Anything in.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Anything in sales, if you're like really good at it,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: there's no like cap on.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: What you can make, right?
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Weirdly not. Weirdly not.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: 50K for a wine sales consultant. And then there's also
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: a yacht captain.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Do you think the yacht.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Captain is making more or less than the beekeeper?
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: I don't care what that guy's making. That job is sick.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: That is pretty awesome. That is just a cool gig.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: But also more.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: More.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: Only by 3K, 58K a year for the yacht captain.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: So I think if you go on Love is Blind,
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: and you want someone to have a cool profession, they're
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: going to make a lot less.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: That explains our salaries, I think, right there.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, 100%.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: That old saying, happy spouse, happy house. You know what
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: I mean?
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, I like that.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Well, because it's always happy wife, happy life. Yes, it's true.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Well, that is true. But at some point, you know,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the guy's got to have something to look forward to.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: And if it's not these bees.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: I don't know what it is. Big 98.7. This is
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Am I the Problem?
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: We'll hear one side of the story, and with your help,
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: decide if it's right or if maybe you're the problem.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: I am the problem. On Big 98.7.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Would you break up over this?
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Hi, guys.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Welcome, Megan. This is Alicia. I've got a dating question
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: for you. It's a little not safe for work, but
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: I'll keep it clean.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: We appreciate that, okay? My dog is listening.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: I've been dating this guy for about a month now,
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: and it's been fun. But the one thing that's throwing
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: me is the fact that he's not down to get
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: down in the morning right when we wake up. He
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: has to have coffee before he can do anything. By
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: the time he's done with coffee, the moment has passed
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: for me, which is the worst because morning is my
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: favorite time for that. And even when I've talked to
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: him about it, he says he's just got to have
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: his coffee and that's that. I don't know if I
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: want to be with someone who chooses coffee over me
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: in the morning.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Why can't he just have his coffee afterwards? I feel
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: like he's lucky to be with a.
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: Unicorn like me who is always ready in the morning.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Am I ridiculous for wanting to break it off?
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: What is she talking about?
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: He just needs to get perked up right away in
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: the morning is all I'm saying.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Like, that's why he needs his coffee, right? I mean,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: I think so. Otherwise, why, sir, would you?
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: I don't know a man on earth who is turning
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: that down for coffee.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: For coffee, Gabe, can you relate?
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Unless you're 95. Serious. And even then, I mean. There's
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: a pill for that.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you. Go ahead.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm telling you right now. You do you, King.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: You get up and you enjoy that three minutes of bliss, okay?
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Before it all goes downhill from there.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: You're talking about the coffee?
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: The bedroom.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Are we talking the bedroom? Yeah, I know.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: I was like, three minutes of coffee? Because three minutes
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: in the morning in the bedroom?
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: That's sad.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Just let the guy have his coffee. Is this the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: hill to die on? Just let him drink the coffee.
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Has she had a conversation with him about this, though?
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: Is there a compromise where one day it's her way,
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: the next day it's his way?
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: She did say that she's talked to him about it,
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: and he said he just has to have his coffee,
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: and that's that.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: Because that would probably be something. Because here's the thing.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: Are you getting intimate any other time? Or is that
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: just because.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, is he like a night owl?
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: That's a big question, because that can be a big
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: thing at the end of the day.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: They could definitely... And the relationship, if you're only a
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: month in.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: What do you think Alicia should do? Let us know. 701-280-1987.
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: We also have this up on the Big 98.7 Facebook page.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: I think Alicia, I don't know that this is the
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: hill to die on.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: If everything else is great.
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: But I guess she wants it when she wants it.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know. 701-280-1987.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Let us know what you think. I will say I
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: know exactly what I'm getting this dude for Christmas. I'm
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: getting him one of those coffee mugs. You know, no
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: talkie before coffee. How about like a no quickie before sippy?
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Crystal said it sounds like she needs to find a
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: man who's down to, well, I'll say get it on
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: in the morning.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: That was the cleaned up version.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Oh, that wasn't the good one? Oh, my bad.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Who is down to do it in the morning.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: I'll say it.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: That's not that bad.
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: Alicia wrote in and she's been dating a guy for
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: a month, early days. But she doesn't like that when
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: she's ready to go in the morning, he is not
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: because he just has to have coffee first.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: And she thinks, is it?
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: I mean, I kind of want to break up with
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: him because he's choosing coffee over me.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: And essentially she wants to know, is that a ridiculous reason?
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah. To break up with someone. This is going to
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: be a tough one. But Julia says, yes, you're the problem.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: Imagine if he broke up with you for not putting
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: out during a certain part of the day when you
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: didn't feel up to it. Seems like a double standard here.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: It's not him choosing coffee over you.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Oh, that actually is sound advice. We always can count
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: on Julia, though. I know.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: She really is the voice of reason in the comments
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: section all the time.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because we don't have a voice of reason. Not
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: on this show.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: That's right. That is actually a very good point.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: And it's very early in the relationship, right?
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: Like.
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: OK, that's the thing, because it's so early in the relationship,
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: I feel like if you really want to cut and run, girl,
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: and find some. But now you've got to put it
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: in your dating profile or something.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: So that they know that that's what you want.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we just got a text from Jenna out of
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: West Fargo. She said, girl, it's been one month. The
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: man has a coffee routine and you're breaking up over it.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Let him caffeinate.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Everybody's better after coffee, including you, which is great.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: And I mean, I mean, it might be longer than
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: the three minutes that Gabe talked.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: About earlier then.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Three minutes? I didn't know we were running a marathon.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: What in the world?
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: And it's your anniversary today, Gabe?
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: I know. Sorry, Cory.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Sorry, girl.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: This is from Brittany.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: She said, you call yourself a unicorn, but unicorns don't
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: give ultimatums over a latte. Have a little patience and
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: let the man wake up.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do say Molly is completely with our girl, though.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Molly from Detroit Lakes, actually. She said she's not wrong
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: to want her partner to meet halfway. Coffee can wait
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: 10 minutes. If it can't, that tells you something. What
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: could happen in six months?
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: Okay, I have the perfect solution. He should just drink
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: coffee during, but obviously iced coffee so there's no injury. Jesus.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: That would be the safest.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: That's the safest. That satisfies both people.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: I got sound advice from Alyssa over on Facebook that says,
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: it's been a month. I think you should end for
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: his sake. Also, you think you're a unicorn for that reason?
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure you've thought of things like bringing
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: him coffee right away in the morning if you.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Really need it then.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: I like that idea.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: A little coffee in bed.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: And then that could go into what you just said.
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: That's true, as long as it's iced coffee, okay?
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Or cold brew. 701-280-1987. You can check out the Am
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: I the Problem on Facebook.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: We're always looking for advice to pass along, and it
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: is so fun to read these by, like, noon, you know,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: throughout the day. So if you are kind of bored
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: on your lunch break today, get the popcorn ready and
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: dive into the comments for Am I the Problem on
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: the Big 98.7 Facebook page.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Drop it, drop it. Big 98.7.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: And I know we're looking far from like Christmas, but
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: some people are already thinking about Christmas gifts because some
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: people do early shopping.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Do either of you do early shopping?
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: I do like day of shopping.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Oh my God.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: I'm not surprised. I'm that 7 a.m.
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: Like, oh.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: It's Christmas.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: I forgot it was coming. Let me run to Walmart.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: You're so great. Well, here's the thing. It might actually
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: work for your Walmart run this year.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: All right. Because holiday shoppers buying essentials, not gifts this year. Like,
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: just because of where the economy is at, people are
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: buying more your personal hygiene sales. They're forecast to jump
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: and buy. clothing basics are expected to rise. I wonder
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: if that means like socks when you talk basics.
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: I think that's even just as you get older, getting
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: socks for Christmas is like, especially fun ones, right? Yes.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: I get socks every single year in the stocking.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Do you really?
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Every single year.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: See, no.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: This is my childhood because I love this and I
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: feel like Santa and my household has been doing this
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: for years because we as adults still get stockings from
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: my parents' place when we go home for Christmas. Oh, yeah.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: And every year I get so excited because that's where
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: I get all these essentials, where I get the travel
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: size toothpaste. I get a new toothbrush. I get the mouthwash.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: I get the travel size shampoo conditioner. Like also my
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: favorite candy because Santa knows, you know.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to add that in there.
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: But I feel like that's the move is getting the
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: essentials for Christmas.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: The thing is, I don't want to.
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: I loathe having to spend money on household essentials.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: That drives me insane. I want to spend my money
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: on fun things.
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: So if I were making a Christmas list.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Of like other people getting me stuff, I've got it here.
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: I would be like dishwasher pods, batteries, aluminum foil, paper.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Towels, razors. That's what I want for Christmas this year.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: Also toilet paper. I'm good with that because here's the thing.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: I do not want you to buy my clothing for
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: me because I like to pick that out myself.
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: That part. I don't want to return it because I will.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: What?
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Even without a gift receipt?
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: I will return it. No, no, no, no. My family
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: has learned that if they try, they've stopped buying me clothing,
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: but when they did, there was always, and there's a
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: gift receipt in there.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Thank you, because I'll be using it.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: What were those things you listed off?
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: I want dishwasher pods, batteries, aluminum foil, paper towels, and raisins.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: You know what's funny?
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: In my entire existence, I've never thought of buying those,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: much less around Christmas. I have one of those wives
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: where there's like nine half-used toothpastes at our house. When
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: it's halfway done, she just like always grabs one. She's
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: kind of always stacking on. The problem is we never
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: finish the toothpaste. There's always a billion rolling around. So
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: these essentials that you're talking about, it's like, I feel
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: like I have.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: Six of half of all of these.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Well, it's because your wife takes care of it.
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: If your wife was not in a picture game, you
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: would need to ask Santa for toothpaste. You're right.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: So this year, maybe you're the one who needs to
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: actually go and buy the essentials for your wife.
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: That is a thought. We'll see if I get it done, though.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I really like what Trevor said. If you could only
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: ask for like essentials, household essentials.
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: What would you want for Christmas this year? Well, Trevor
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: and me are going shopping together.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: Beer.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: That is a household essential. Such an essential.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: We'll take seltzers.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Thanks.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: A lot of people do say, like, you know, groceries
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: or food, obviously a very big thing.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: That would be wonderful to have. Melanie said a full
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: tank of propane.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: Okay, that is exactly where my parents are like, hey, kids,
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: want to, like, get together and get us a whole
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: tank of propane? That'd be great.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Merry Christmas.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: There's nothing, and obviously a propane tank for, like, the house,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: but I'm thinking there's nothing like getting a propane for
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: doing the grilling outside when there's two.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: Feet of snow in December.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, there's that, too.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: That would totally work.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Did you see that Crystal wants a whole new bed?
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: That is a household essential.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: That's a household essential, but honey, that is a big ask.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, hey, go big or go home.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: There is a comment on Facebook that has been making
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: me laugh all morning because I picture Jackie, who has
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: been just like kind of staring off into the sunset.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: You know when you're filling up with gas and you
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: kind of look off into the distance and that's when
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: you have all your best thoughts? I feel like Jackie
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: is on to something. She said, you know, it's been
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: a minute since I had new hand towels.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: I love how she puts that.
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: Yes!
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't have even thought of that. Jackie, I'm adding
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: that to my Christmas list.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: Same.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: And guess what you're getting us, Gabe?
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: Towels.
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: 701-280-1987.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: If you could only get household essentials for Christmas this year,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: which seems to be a very popular ask in 2026,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: what are you putting right at the top of the
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: list for Santa Claus?
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Big 98.7.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Starting off the day with something good. This is Gabe's
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: Good News on Big 98.7. I think you're going to
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: love this story today.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: A once empty garden at Liberty Middle School in West
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Fargo is finding a second life and it's now feeding students.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: It all started with this idea from Renee Gust, who's
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: a food service worker who at West Fargo Public Schools.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: She's also a retired nurse.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: She noticed this garden space with raised beds that nobody
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: was using. That half acre garden, it now grows watermelon, cantaloupe,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: squash and cherry tomatoes. And when they're ready, they go
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: straight from the garden to the cafeteria. Here she is
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: kind of talking a little bit about this wonderful idea.
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: This would be a great opportunity to see if the
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: school would allow me to plant some food that we
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: could harvest and serve to the children just.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Right from the garden. I am not a gardener.
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: A lot of people in my family are gardeners, but
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: I have never really done a lot of gardening.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: And that's one thing I find the most impressive. For
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: someone who is not a gardener, she just... straight up
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: learned and is continuing, I'm assuming, to learn how to
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: do this with the students.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: As someone else who is not a gardener, but I
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: did help my dad plant some things this year, I
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: will say that watermelon might have been one of the
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: easiest things I've ever seen grown and the tomatoes because
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: there was an endless amount of those things. Other than
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: I weeded the garden once afterwards, it grew out of control.
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: That's all it takes sometimes.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what's your gardening, I don't know, ability? Angie, where
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: would you rank that?
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: I have a brown thumb. I was thinking a black
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: thumb myself.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, it is bad.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: I'm not good. But this is amazing. And that's awesome
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: for kids. And honestly, they're safe from the cyclospora.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: That's farm to lunch tray at Liberty Middle School. So
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: congratulations to all of them. What a cool idea. The
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: world is full of nice people. If you can't find one,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: you got to be one. And never forget that broken crayons,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: they still color.
