  Speaker 1: Big 98.7.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Now, Mikey had a bit of a moment last week
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: that I could not have been more prouder of.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 0:10
  Speaker 4: What's annoying is that when I told you this, I
• 0:13
  Speaker 4: thought I was just sharing a little piece of my life,
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: and you took it as you must let the world
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: know that Mikey doesn't bend to your every whim.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: This was a wonderful moment in my day, to be honest.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: What happened?
• 0:29
  Speaker 5: Here's the situation.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: Mikey and I, along with the kids, were heading out
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: of town in a few weeks because a friend of
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: ours is turning 40. The big 4-0, we've been invited
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: to go celebrate.
• 0:42
  Speaker 5: So, of course, we said yes.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: But we've known about this for a long time and
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: didn't think to book our flights until literally, like, the
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: other day.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Most Angie thing I've ever heard.
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, okay.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: So, flights... More expensive than we would want them to be,
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: but we have to go, so not going was never
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: going to be an option. So we're trying to book
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: these flights, and the thing is, because I get out
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: of work earlier than Mikey does and before the kids
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: get out of school, I'm taking an earlier flight in,
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: and then Mikey and the boys are taking a later flight,
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: so nobody misses school.
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: Okay, cool.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: To make this work so that we get on the
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: same return flight, I wanted us to be side-by-side... booking
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: the things, okay? There's four of us. So how we
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: always do it is three of us in a row
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: and then the fourth person in the aisle seat of
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: the row across the way, right?
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: You can picture that in your brain. So I'm telling Mikey.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: Hey, make sure, get the seats and check that there's
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: an empty one so that I can book that one.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: I feel like I was giving very explicit instructions. He's
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: kind of like, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, I got it,
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: I got it. When it comes time for me to
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: book my aisle seat, he had finished booking right before me.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: And I said, oh, OK, so where is the seat
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: row of seats?
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: And he said, oh, I don't know.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds like a response I would give. Yeah.
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: What do you mean you don't know?
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: I was just picking the seats so fast.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: Can you check? I'm looking in the email and I
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: don't really see it.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: This is the most dude thing ever.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: So I'm like irritated and I'm starting to get very snippy.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: And I have to.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Which is also the least surprising thing I've ever heard.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: I'm a fiery Latina. What do you want from me?
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: So I decide, well, I have to book. I'm just
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: going to pick one and hope for the best. I
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: have to book it because you know how these flights
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: be going. The second you refresh or start over, it's
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: gone or more expensive.
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: So I just booked it.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: A second after I book, I confirm my payment method.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: It goes through.
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: He goes, oh, I just had to log in. These
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: are where our seats are. I will smack you.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: What do you mean?
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Why didn't you log in literally 4.5 seconds earlier?
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: I was irate.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: And then I realized, Angie, you need to calm down.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: Mikey is a nice man.
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: You love him.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: And so I took a deep breath and I said,
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry that I was snippy with you.
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: And he looks at me and he said.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you were really biting the hand that feeds you
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: there for a second.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I could not have been more thrilled. This man will
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: get an hour of his lunch break or whatever and
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: come here to get Angie's car to put gas in it.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: This dude would wake up at the four o'clock strike
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: of dawn to drive Angie to work every day for
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: like a year and a half. I could not have
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: been more happy for my boy to sneak in a
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: little like, and I know how he said it because
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: he's the sweetest guy on the planet. He probably went, well,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: you're really kind of biting the hand that feeds you.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Instead of saying it with some toad that I wish
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: he would have.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: You know, I did for a second have the audacity
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: to be mad. And then I quickly burned, like stomped
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: out that flame because correct. I really was biting because
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: he absolutely, when I put in the card number, it
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: was not mine.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: It was Mikey's.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: You didn't even pay?
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: I didn't know this caveat. Oh, my God.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Drop it, drop it. Big 98.7. Celebrating life's little victories. Victory.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Every morning, we practice gratitude on Big 98.7. If I could,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I would.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Keep this feeling in a plastic jar.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Bust it out whenever someone's acting hard. I just really
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: needed a win, you know. Share your little victories with
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: us at 701-280-1987.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Do you have a little victory for me today, Angie?
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Fire up the membership card making machine because.
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: Liam, my little Liam... has just.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: Joined the bike community.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he learned how to ride a bike yesterday. And
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: so he's nine, and I know that's a little late
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: in the game, but we tried to teach him a
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: couple years ago, and then a bunch of life stuff happened,
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: and that got put on the back burner. So yesterday
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: we were like, we got to get you riding this bike.
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: Before the season turns.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: That's right. It was surprisingly fast. He caught on so quickly.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: It maybe took 15 minutes. And then this kid was
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: just soaring. So he's very excited that now he can
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: ride his bike while his older brother rides his bike.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: Mikey's got a bike. Hey, I don't have a bike.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: You're the only bike-less individual.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: Yes, I want to be part of the bike community,
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: so I guess I'm next on the list. I mean,
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: I know how to ride a bike, but I don't
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: have one right now.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: You don't know how to own a bike.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: No, exactly. But yes, so a big congrats, a huge
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: victory for my little Liam, who now can ride a bike.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: My little victory. I have just a slew of little
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: victories from the weekend, but we took our daughter to
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: the zoo for the first time this weekend in Fargo,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: which was great. We also had some of Corey's childhood
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: friends that came to visit with their mother, so it
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: was just a big kind of family weekend.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: We also had my wife's six-week checkup that went well,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: so that means maybe baby number two on the way.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: No, I'm just kidding. But I will say I have
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: savored this moment for as long as possible. There are
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: a billion little victories I could choose from, but I
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: have to pick this one. My buddy, his name is
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Jordan Rube. We call him Ruby. Okay. That's a good nickname. Yeah,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: him and I went golfing on Saturday, and we played
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: at Village Green Golf Course. It's over in Moorhead. It's
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: actually right off 94, if you've ever been driving.
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's the one you've played with Mikey, right?
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I've played with Mikey there plenty of times. Well, on
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: hole 12 at Village Green, it is a par 4
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: that is 300 yards, or like 299. I can't remember
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: exactly off the top of my head. Okay. I have
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: dreamed of taking out the big stick. We're talking driver. Yeah.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: And driving the green. Okay. Because a lot of people,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: they'll take out like a five iron or a three wood.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: And I think you've actually heard me complaining about people
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: who do that.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: Yes, I actually have.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Get your driver out and give me a good story.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Well, on one whole. Ruby and I both drove the
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: green on hole 12 at Village Green, which I have
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: been dreaming of since I started playing golf there.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: This is so sweet.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Was it fun? Because if you don't know, there's like
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: water on the right. There's a bunch of stuff.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: On the left.
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: A lot can go wrong.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: It is a tough shot. You know, it is kind
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: of a narrow fairway. And Ruby and I both took
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: out the big stick, the big dog, and we let
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: it eat. We both got on the green from the
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: tee box, which is very exciting because it's like a
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: 300-yard shot. Yeah, good for you. Yeah, I played the
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: best round of golf I've played in years on Saturday.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I hope my man Mikey is listening to this
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: right now. He would be so proud of you.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: He knows the hole I'm talking about.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I was actually on, by the time we got to
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: hole six, I was one under through the first six.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Which is incredible that I have never played golf this
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: well in my life until this past Saturday.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: So to recap, your golf game, way more important than
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: all the family coming to visit.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Got it.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: 1,000% more exciting, I'll tell you that. And what a
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: big weekend, the Bison making history at the Fargo Dome.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: It was so cool to see all of the videos.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: I think one of my favorite videos is one of
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: the ones I saw of all the players and head
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: coach Polasek, you know, going on to the field for
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: the first time. You see the Fargo Dome just... packed
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: and rocking, and it was a crowd of over 18,000,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: which is wonderful. Angie and I talked a little bit
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: about this off the air, but for a First intro to, like,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: FBS football, you know? I don't know if it could
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: go better. Right? Like, a dominating win. You got to
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: start at home, so it's like you were a team
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: on the road. The game obviously went really well for
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: the Bison, and it was just really cool to see
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: all of the fun and excitement on social media.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: Well, it's also nice to walk into the building today,
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: and everyone.
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: Just is in a good mood.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is true.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Like, it kind of doesn't matter whatever else may have
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: happened to anyone over the weekend, but it's like, okay, yeah,
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: but Bison Nation.
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: Like, we're all together. celebrating this huge win. I mean,
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: what a start to the FBS era. I really love this.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: And if you were at the game or, you know,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: any of the tailgating and you got some cool pictures,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: we'd love to see them. Send them to us at 701-280-1987.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: But it's just so fun hearing from Coach Palasek, you know,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: after the game talking about what it means to to
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Fargo and the town and the FM area in general.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: It's just such a perfect, no pun intended here, kickoff
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: to the season. And it's just cool to be a
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: part of, you know, when I'm 70 and get to
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: look back on my life and I'm just going, oh man,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: I got to be in the town the day that,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: you know, the Bison joined the FBS. I was there
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: that weekend and got to be a part of the
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: excitement around town. And it's just, it's so cool.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: You know, what is I think really exciting is that
• 10:30

• 10:33
  Speaker 4: Sam Niederman here for WAMBAM. Thank you, Sam, presented by
• 10:37

• 10:43
  Speaker 4: going to happen.
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: Obviously, it's very exciting.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: And then there was that small part of me, though,
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: that thought, OK, he's going to be back with us
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: on the next Friday. And if the Bison didn't win, obviously,
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: we're still fans. But it would have been like, oh, man.

  Speaker 1: Yeah, right.
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: And thankfully, that is not the case.

  Speaker 2: I can't be the only one. When you had a
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: kid and you started going out and exploring the world
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: with said kid, what did you realize had changed about
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: you a little bit? It was kind of the same
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: when I got engaged or got married. When I would
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: go grocery shopping with Corey, I started noticing dudes wearing
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: rings a lot more often.
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: Oh, that's cute.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: It's just something you don't really look for when you
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: don't have one, and then you kind of walk around,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: and you're like, oh, yeah, I'm in the club.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: A little bit.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: That's kind of how I felt with the stroller. I'm like,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: all right.
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: Oh, my gosh, Gabe, you're now part of the stroller community.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: I am in the stroller community. But, you know, when
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: you had a kid, did you notice when you're out
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: in public things you looked at different that you had
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: never looked at before?
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: You know what I was always looking at was people's
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: diaper bags.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, how much they had or didn't have?
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: Well, like the kind of diaper bag, the style. Like,
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: is that one going to be roomier? Is this more efficient?
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Should I switch my diaper bag? But then it would
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: also be like, she has the wrong diaper bag. I'm
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: over here with the correct one. So, yeah, diaper bags
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: was where my head was.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: It was just not one time in my life have
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: I cared, been interested, even looked at a stroller, ever.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: And I honestly, for the kids that were with us
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: and for, you know, the Corey and her friends, it
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: was a nice time checking out the animals. I was
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: there checking out the industrial stroller revolution.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: Bro, at no point did you even notice an animal.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: I bet you couldn't tell me what was there.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: At the zoo, could you?
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Not a single one, yeah. This is Am I the Problem?
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: It's me.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: We'll hear one side of the story and with your help.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Am I the problem? Decide if it's right or if
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: maybe you're the problem. I'm hardly the problem. On Big 98.7.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: Robbie wrote in to us and he needs to know
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: if he's the problem.
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: Hey guys, I'm Robbie. Am I the problem or am
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: I right?
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: The long and short of it is that I broke
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: it off with the girl I was dating because she
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: had too many pets sleeping in.
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: The bed with us.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: I want to be clear that I love animals even
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: though I don't have any pets. And I wasn't surprised
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: that she had three cats and two dogs. But we
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: always had to sleep at her place because of the
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: cats and dogs. And they all sleep in the bed
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: with her, which means they all slept in the bed
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: with us.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: I tried for a while, but I can't.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: Sleep like that. And it just grosses me out, kind of.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: I asked if when I'm over, can they just sleep
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: near the bed? She got defensive and said, I just
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: need to get used to it. So I ended it.
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: My sister and her friend said I was in the wrong.
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: What do you think?
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: I would like to say first, I do get grossed
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: out by too many animals like around and on top
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: of me. And I would absolutely loathe to sleep in
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: the bed with a bunch of pets.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: I'm with you there, Robbie.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: However, the things we do for love, Robbie, if you
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: really like her, then yes, you do got to get
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: used to it.
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: It is not a deal breaker.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: And it is crazy for me to say that because
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: I really get icked out really easily.
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: I'm such a germaphobe, like it's a whole thing.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: But if Mikey had some dogs and he was like,
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: they're sleeping with us in the bed and that's just
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: life now, I'd be like, well, I guess I'm.
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: Super in love with you and we doing this.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: Come here, Fido.
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean? Like, I would just deal
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: with it. What do you think?
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Well, you're you're allowed to not love sleeping with animals.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: And if the sleeping with animals bothers you too much,
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: you had a free easy out. It sounds like I'm
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: with you, though. One thousand percent. He just didn't like
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: her that much. Just didn't like her that much.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: Okay, that's kind of what it seems like, huh?
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: 100%. On the grand scheme of relationships, there are actual
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: super hardcore deal breakers that, you know, for example, you
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: really want to have kids one day, the other person doesn't.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: That probably would be a reason to call it off.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Someone's pets being around is pretty low on the list
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: of deal breakers. You just didn't like her as much
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: as you maybe hoped or as you thought.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: Is that what, okay, is that what it is then?
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: It's not that it's a deal breaker. My wife has
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: a billion cats, okay?
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, and you don't like cats like that.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: I'm not like a cat person. I guess I like
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: my cats now.
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: But I like my cats that they make my wife happy.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: I don't, you know, I would never have gone out
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: and gotten that many.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: I love that. You know what I mean?
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: What do you think?
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: 701-280-1987.
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: Call us, text us.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: We also have this up on our Facebook page.
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: Is Robbie the problem? Is it a deal.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: Breaker to have too many pets in the bed? Or
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: is he a wrong, wrong, wrong man? Robbie broke it
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: off with a girl because she had too many pets
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: that she wanted to have sleep with them in the bed.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: And when she said, you're just going to have to
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: get used to it, he said, no.
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: And then he broke it off with her.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: But his sister and her friends are saying, bro, you
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: are in the wrong on this one. So he wanted
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: to know, is it actually a deal breaker or did.
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: He make a mistake?
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: I think he did make a mistake. I think, bro,
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: you just have to deal with it. If you like her,
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: deal with it. Gabe, your thoughts are?
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was kind of the same.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: If.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: There are certain things you kind of are willing to
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: put up with or learn to live with if you
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: really like someone enough. And this sounded like kind of
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: a free out for both of them. And the reason
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: I say that is because Jewel said swap the advice.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: If she loved him enough, where is her compromise? He
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: isn't telling her to get rid of her animals, just
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: not in bed when he is sleeping over. And this
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: is from someone with nine dogs. Holy moly. And you
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: know what? That, I think, goes perfectly fair with, uh...
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: the advice the other way she probably just didn't like
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: him that much granted if you have pets that sleep
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: with you all the time yeah to try to go
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: from that to them not sleeping with you I would
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: imagine kind of a pain and sad for them to
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: get used to.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the fact that she didn't be like, okay, well,
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: let me just try to wean them off. Like, let's
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: try to whatever. And then the fact that he was like, okay,
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: then never mind, bye. I think the root of this is...
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: Y'all both just weren't that into each other, and that's okay.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: Move on to the next, Robbie. And girl that got
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: broken up with, you move on to.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: The next, too. 1,000%. Jessica said, not the problem. I
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: love pets, too. In fact, I have two dogs. When
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: I met my now husband, they slept in my room.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: He wasn't a fan. I quickly scooted them out of
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: my bedroom. As you said, the things we do for love,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: she can compromise, too, but she drew the line in
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: the sand first, which... I think that's also very fair
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: of her to do. If she goes, nah, these are
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: my animals, my fur babies. They are bed sleepers. I
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: want someone who is going to either learn to love
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: it or already is fine with it sleeping in. If
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: she wants to draw the line right there, I think
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: that's totally fair.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: I think, I.
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: Wonder if Robbie's like, oh, she doesn't really like me
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: that much.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: Okay, fine. No, it's over.
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: I'm saying it's over.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: They're just fighting over who called it off first.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: And then finally, we have Sarah. I don't think it's
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: wrong exactly. I think if you really liked her, you
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: guys could have had a more in-depth conversation. I understand
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: you expressed some feelings, but it sounds like you each
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: had more input that wasn't brought up. I feel like
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: that happens all the time with Am I the Problem?
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: More communication is key we just never get to the
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: real root or we try to get to the root
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: of this of an issue or a problem with the
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: limited amount of information that we had that's how it
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: goes i would love to be a fly on the
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: wall in the room though and our boy was like
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: hey yeah fido he gotta kick it to the floor
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: because if it was my house that'd be an absolutely.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: No Big 98.7.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Now, Dolly Parton, loved by what seems like everybody.
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: And Tim Curry, too.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Tim Curry, loved by what seems like everybody. And it
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: seems there's not a ton of universally... Loved celebrities, you know, like,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: for example, Taylor Swift is one of the most famous
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: women on planet Earth. Just people in general.
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: But she's polarizing. People either love her, love her, or
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: they hate her, hate her.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: And that's kind of how it seems to work with
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: a lot of celebrities. So what celebrity could you think
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: of that's universally loved? And I came up with a few,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: and I want you to see what you think of, like,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: my list here. Okay. Mr.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: Rogers.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Obviously, yes.
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: Universally loved.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Universally loved. It seems like by everybody. Keanu Reeves.
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: Oh, yes.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Do most people love him?
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: Yes, and put him on the Hall Pass list. Yes,
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: Keanu Reeves. He's, I mean, a sweetheart. No one ever
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: has a negative thing to say about. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Keanu Reeves, and I guess unless you really hated The Matrix.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: Nah, even that, because I didn't really care for The Matrix,
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: but my love for Keanu lives on.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, what about Robin Williams?
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: Yep, yep.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Loved. I've never heard anyone say anything bad about him.
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: No, me either.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: In, like, talking amongst my friends, like, oh, I didn't
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: like this, or whatever. Or I've never heard any celebrity
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: interview saying Robin Williams, where he was a bad guy.
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no, everybody, like, loved Robin Williams.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: I have one more for you.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: What about Betty White? What?
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: Oh, no, universally loved.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Universally loved?
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: In fact, if you are a Betty White hater, that's
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: a you problem.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: You're a problem. I like that. That's a you problem.
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: You know who I'm surprised wasn't on your list? I
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: think Bob Ross. The painter?
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's a good one, yeah.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: A happy little accident. I love Bob Ross.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: A popular Halloween costume every year. There's always like one
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: or two walking around. But 701-280-1987. Well, who's a celebrity
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: you can think of that's just universally loved? Can you
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: think of any more, Angie?
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: Here's the twofer, and they're alive.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: Bindi and Robert Irwin, like the kids of Steve Irwin.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: I mean, no one dislikes them.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally agree with that.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: They're sweethearts.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: They love animals. Their dad was a he was universally loved, honestly.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: And it extended to his offspring like.
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: Love, love, love.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: And maybe, you know, I don't know enough about the
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: celeb world, but I think this is harder to do
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: than you might think.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: Because I think there were maybe in the 90s, there
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: were people that were universally loved. But then as time
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: has gone on, they're not anymore because everybody loved Oprah
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: for a long time.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: And now everyone loved Ellen for a long time.
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: And boy, did those tables turn. So, yeah, it's harder now.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Let us know if you have any in the
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: back of your mind at 701-280-1987. Obviously, without question, Dolly Parton, though,
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: one of the most loved humans ever.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Happy.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: Big 98.7 celebrities that are just universally loved and i
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: think it's harder to come up with them than you
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: may think because at one point you they might have
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: been universally loved uh angie used and then we turned
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: on them yeah angie used oprah as an example or
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: ellen at one point you know everybody loved them.
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: And Tom Cruise.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Tom Cruise. Same thing.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: You know, and then Ryan Reynolds, even Ryan Reynolds. Yeah.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: And there's a ton of celebrities who are obviously famous
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: and they have a gajillion fans.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: They also have a gajillion haters, you know, and we
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: did get this text from Janelle. I had thought about
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: putting this on my list and I just I don't
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: know if I blanked or forgot. But Janelle said, Brendan Frazier.
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Which is so true. Is it because it feels like
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: he got such a raw deal in Hollywood?
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think so. And he was just a genuinely
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: sweet man.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: It seemed really unfair that he kind of got shunned
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: from Hollywood for a while.
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: No one ever has like on set horror stories of
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: working with Brendan Fraser. Everyone's like, no, he was the
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: best and amazing.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: And it's good to see it kind of turn back
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: around for him.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: And then we did have Kayla who said, Tom Hanks.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Also seems to be very true. I don't know what
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: he's like in his personal life, but I've never seen
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: or read or really heard anything bad about him.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: No one sees Tom Hanks and thinks, what a jerk.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Starting off the day with something good. This is Gabe's
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Good News on Big 98.7.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Right in the middle of a Moorhead construction zone, there's
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: a front yard bursting with Cosmos, Black-Eyed Susans, Snapdragons, which
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: actually almost sound like they could be the names of
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: IPA beverages.
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: I was going to say, what are we talking about here,
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: my guy?
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's called The Flower House, and anyone can wander through,

  Speaker 2: Cass Clay Awesome Foundation, which is celebrating 10 years of
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: giving away money for ideas that simply make our community

  Speaker 2: more fun. 10 people chip in $ 100 a month, then
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: hand it to someone with a great idea, no strings attached.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: And in a decade, they've given away $ 145, 000 to everything
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: from lemonade stands to community cafes. And founder Brandi Markley,

  Speaker 2: idea up and running. And these things all make our
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: community worth living in.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Here's some money. Go do it.

  Speaker 4: love this.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: That's right. The world is full of nice people. If
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: you can't find one, you got to be one. And
