All right, we're on a quest to find the most interesting how we met
0:03

somebody and you met each other in an interesting scenario, we'd love to hear
0:08

Nick how it's kind of a blind date situation. It was his best friend
0:16
from college. I had met her and she was kind of following us on
0:20
social media, and she said, you two would be perfect together. I
0:24
can see that, Like she said, what your lifestyle is just kind of
0:26
manage. Yeah, we both liked fishing and we just kind of do the
0:30
same things, just like you guys would be great together. I'm like,
0:32
ah, I had just had a run on Bumble and Tinder. I'm like,
0:36
I am out, Like this is not like Laurie on our Facebook page.
0:40
She was on Plenty of Fish. That's where she met her significant other.
0:43
Mon oh, wow, you heard of that. When you first saw
0:47
the picture of Nick, what were your thoughts like, Oh, this guy's
0:50
like nah or no? I actually said no, I'm good, I'm good.
0:54
I need a break from guys. And then she sent me a picture
0:58
of him on a jet Ski and I was like, oh, hey,
1:00
here's my digits. And then he text me about an hour later and we
1:06
met up for the first time. It was September seventeenth, twenty seventeen or
1:10
September eighteen, twenty seventeen. And then we got married September urchuse me August
1:14
eighteen. Yeah, yeah, one, I remember. I don't even remember
1:15
my anniversary from the time you met. It took six months to get married
1:19
and have two kids. And and here we my wife Lauren and I met
1:23
at an old establishment. Here and farg are really known for being a romantic
1:27
epicenter of the city. It was called the Hub, I believe, specifically
1:32
at the Cadillac Ranch. Yeah, Boot, Scoot and Buggy or we did
1:38
nah that night, we just met Amanda. That's hilarious. So what's your
1:42
how we met? Story? Seven? Eight ninety eight seven. Casey's been
1:47
on hold, Casey, how'd you meet? Um? So we were in
1:49
college. I was in Baltimore and we were just hanging outside my room.
1:53
Nie and I were when we're like, we really need some new friends.
1:57
You're just with your friends, you're hanging out. You have my roommate outside,
2:01
and so we decided to find some just tiny little rocks and throw them
2:05
at whoever lived above us. We had no idea if it was like an
2:07
old lady or who it was, um, so we just kept throwing them
2:13
as Finally he came to the window and we're like, hey, come out
2:15
and hung out with us. And he's like, well, I'm taking an
2:19
online test right now. It'll be a little bit. And we're like,
2:21
yeah, he's not coming down. Yeah right. He's like, who are
2:23
these crazy people throwing rocks? Yeah, So we just stayed outside and sure
2:30
enough he came outside eventually and hung out with us. And that was in
2:35
two thousand and ten. Two thousand and fifteen, we got married and we'll
2:38
be celebrating our eighth anniversary in August. Wow, all because you threw rocks
2:45
at his window. That's right, that's a great idea, you Intergracie at
2:49
your single right, Yeah, have you tried throwing rocks at windows? I
2:53
have not? And then it's a good idea in the morning, un big
3:00
nutty a point. You ever take a hobby too far? No, I've
3:04
been racking my brain to figure out if I even have a hobby. I
3:06
want to hear what your hobby is first of all. But after I tell
3:08
you about this woman who took her hobby way too far, she got really,
3:10
really into true crime, which I know a lot of people do.
3:15
I love Dateline, but it considered that a hobby. He was a Yeah,
3:20
you're a casual, they would call you. Okay. This lady love
3:23
true crime so much she thought, Hey, I'm listening to a lot of
3:28
murder stuff. I wonder what it would be like to murder somebody. Oh,
3:31
stop it. So she got online on an app that sets up tutors
3:37
with students, and she pretended to be the mother of a student, reached
3:40
out to a tutor, showed up to her house dressed as a student,
3:44
and stabbed a woman to death, proceeded to dismember her body. Now,
3:50
initially this woman who was indicted from murder on Friday, than I can imagine.
3:54
Yeah, she told police that they had an argument and that's what prompted
3:58
the murder. She did admit to it. However, they found evidence that
4:01
proved otherwise that there was no argument. She simply premeditated this whole thing because
4:05
she became so obsessed with true crime. Oh my gosh, that's so creepy
4:11
it is, so, I mean, it's just one example of taking a
4:14
hobby too farne I can't wait to watch the date Line episode on that,
4:17
and you know all the other Lifetime movies and things that they come up with.
4:23
But I really I don't really feel like, do you not have a
4:26
hobby. You don't have a single hobby you can think of if somebody asked
4:29
you, like, oh, what do you like to do? What's your
4:30
hobbies like? For me? I guess I love going to the lake,
4:34
and that's consists of like numerous things. It's like a thing you do.
4:39
I like fishing. Okay, that's kind of a hobby. Yeah, yeah,
4:42
I don't get to do it as often as I would like, but
4:44
I like fishing and four wheeling and like outdoorsy kind of things. I don't
4:48
whine wheeling ever, but sure every weekend your four wheel Yeah, big avid
4:55
wine drinker. I like to drink the notes of the you don't and ends
5:00
on my tongue. There's no tannins. You're like my wife Lauren. She
5:02
hasn't sort of the same thing where you know, like if you ask her
5:05
what her hobby is, she would have a hard time it's like, you
5:08
know, some people crochet or nit you know, do things that are like
5:10
actualis like women we just crochet and Nitpike, my mom of you do your
5:15
nity? Is that her hobby? I would say, So what about you?
5:18
What's your hobby? Taylor Swift? Well, I mean that could be
5:21
one of them. I like going to concerts. That's my thing, is
5:25
like okay for my whole miss my whole life. I've been My mom took
5:29
me to my very first concert when I was three, and since then it
5:31
has been it's been like every year I have too many I could tell you
5:35
about. That's awesome. That's a good hobby. It's expensive one and it's
5:39
very I like golfing and I play guitar. Oh yeah yeah yeah. What
5:43
about the sacks would you? Did you drop it? Yeah? That was
5:48
in a past life. I don't even know the sacksman anymore. No,
5:53
No, I don't play the saxophone for fun. So you're still struggling with
5:56
the hobby thing, yes, and making me kind of feel bad that I
5:59
don't have a hobby. Well, you should feel bad because if you don't
6:01
have a hobby, what sort of life are you? I'm kidding. Now
6:04
you should feel no, no, no, you don't need to have a
6:06

life to the fullest. Pike, You're just in inspiration everybody. Pike in
6:20
Amanda in the morning. All right, we are talking about the how we
6:27
met stories? How did you meet your partner? Romantic funny however, was
6:31
we want to find the most interesting one, and we have a pretty good
6:34
one, you know so far. I think the leader, if you guys
6:36
agree, was Casey who called and said that her in a roommate in college
6:41
were boards. They walked out of their apartment started throwing rocks at the person
6:45
who lived above them. They had no idea who it was. That's hilarious.
6:46
I mean, just like a prank that you have no idea and then
6:49
you fall in love with the guy. Come on now that comes downstairs.
6:53
They start hanging out. They've been married over ten years. Also, the
6:55
guy who met basically on TikTok doing a duet when it was musically back in
6:59
the day that was so super funny. So seven one, eight seven,
7:03
what is your how we met story? Okay, my dad was driving a
7:08
semi truck and he was out at a green station or elevator out in a
7:13
small tone. Okay, famously one of the most romantic places green elevators in
7:17
small cities. Yeah, go ahead. Well, he walked across the street
7:21
to a golf course and my husband there and he came home and told me
7:26
about this guy, and um, so I started golfing, and wow,
7:32
yeah, you started golfing just because of this one guy. Well, yeah,
7:35
he's really really hot. So we've golf for a couple of times.
7:40
And then the one time we were done and he had a book tour.
7:43
He's a manager as a golf course, and I turned around to say goodbye,
7:46
and he kissed me in the doorways and he thought I was going to
7:48
hit him, but I didn't. I kissed him back. Oh yes,
7:53
And so that started. You know, we've been very twenty years since then.
7:57
So wow, so I gotta ask, did you once he finally like,
8:01
you know, kissed or whatever, were You're like, okay, I
8:03
can give up this stupid frustrating game, or do you still go no,
8:05
I like that was a fun game. Did you guys get married at that
8:11
golf course? We were going to, We're supposed to on the first on
8:15

9:09
you? I remember when I was younger, we'd go to I'd go visit
9:13
my dad in Colorado, and I remember it. That was we were on
9:16
the prow we'd go to six Flags and you'd be like going through the lines
9:18
and just like checking people out as you're waiting for like the wild Thing or
9:22
whatever it was. Please tell me you hit her with like a good wild
9:24
Thing joke. Yeah. Yeah, I was working at the wild Thing and
9:30
she worked in the water park. So you've a lifeguard co workers mingling.
9:35
I love it, yeah, Parney, Parney, Yeah, you have pretty
9:41
tough competition working at a carnival can Amanda in the morning eight point Well,
9:48
we've all tried a silly diet or two, I'm sure, Oh gosh,
9:50
yeah, I mean I've seen you do some weird things over there, Amanda,
9:54
with your with your food and take. Yeah, you know, right
9:56
now, my only thing I'm doing is like intermittent fast and I do my
10:00
best to do that. It's a hot trend. I've been doing it for
10:03
years. I'd like to think I was on the forefront of that one,
10:05
but as you can see, it's not working at all. Oh whatever.
10:07
There's a new diet though, according to research, that seems to be working
10:11
really well. And you maybe have heard of this but apparently the Mediterranean diet
10:15
not only heard of it, but I don't really understand what it is.
10:18
All right, so what is the Mediterranean diet. It's a diet that is
10:20
based mostly in fruit, vegetables and fish and a lot of healthy fat.
10:26
Yeah, okay, so apparently it's what they eat in the Mediterranean. Yeah,
10:28
you got it, You got it. I could probably do this because
10:31
I love like salmon, salapia, but over the weekend, got some crappi.
10:37
Is like that kind of a thing is there's a lot of SEMs that
10:39
like it deep fried. Yeah, that's going to be the problem, all
10:43
covered in oil and butter and oh so good. Well, the thing is
10:46
the diet not only are people losing weights, fighting fighting obesity, but it's
10:50
making your brain age backwards, which would be great. It combats things like
10:54
Alzheimer's and yeah yeah, yeah, also helps lower your liver and fat ends
11:00
times, which I don't even know what that means, but I assume my
11:01
liver could use some hell so yeah, no kidding, what's the craziest diet
11:05
he ever tried? For me? It was like I tried to do keido
11:11
for a second, But that is one of those I just can't do like
11:13
that high fat, Like that was hard for me, and you have to
11:18
watch what you're doing otherwise you're gunna get like and wait, all I know
11:20
about that is that you can eat as much bacon as you want, so
11:24
what's so hard about it? But then that also just feels like that's not
11:26
healthy. I think there has to be a certain balance of what you're doing
11:30
right, And I'm not good at like taking the time to go through all
11:33
that. So for me, I do my best to just like as much
11:35
natural food as I possibly can. That's the way to do it. Like
11:39
no low fat, none of that, like just real good, hardy food.
11:43
Yeah, you can't go wrong, but it's easy. Like it's still
11:46
in my mind though, I like, I'm like, oh I need that
11:48
in low fat or oh no, sugar free. It's like, no,
11:50
that's not always the best, not really. No. I tried a grapefood
11:54
diet once. What a grapefruit diet? It's got to be like from the
11:58
seventies, I don't know, but I'm remember I was like desperate. I
12:01
was like early in college, put on like the freshman forty you know,
12:05
you know, and uh, just eat grapefruit you got it. Yeah,
12:09
literally, And I didn't even like grapefruit. That was the hard part.
12:11
I'm like, I don't know what the benefit of this is. Probably you
12:13
just lose weight because you're only eating fruit. My dad did once. I
12:18
remember, it's like a cabbage soup diet. Oh and I can like still
12:22
smell like because that's on every level, Like that's just so gross because the
12:26
cabbage soup smelled. But then what was it like growing up with a dad
12:31
who smelled like cabbage? That was had to be tough when he came to
12:35
school intero grace, he ever tries silly diet. I did weight watchers for
12:39
a while. That's not silly, No, only not silly. But no,
12:43
does she I think I think she did about twenty years. Yeah,
12:46
I don't know if she's still on the YadA in the morning on a lot
12:56
of people are going to graduation parties. Maybe you had a kid graduate,
12:58
of course it's that time yesterday. Really, So how is the food?
13:01
Food was good? Jimmy John's okay, never never go wrong with I do
13:05
love a good just like the homemade pulled pork sandwich. But anyway, I
13:09
see you being the guy that just goes to graduation parties team I food hate
13:13
it. I don't know any high school seniors like I'm in that weird age
13:16
where like Mike, you know, kids, are you're going to all the
13:20
wedding? If anybody still has a party yet to be had, I would
13:22
love to go. I'll bring a card. There won't be any money in
13:26
it, but I'll bring a card. My sister will be graduating next year,
13:28
so I can't wait. I'm very hungry. But you thank you though,
13:31
Yeah, good to know. All right. So there's a kid who's
13:33
very impressive. I gotta tell you about this fourteen year old who not only
13:37
did he graduate high school, he's graduated college as well. At fourteen years
13:41
old, are you supposed to be oh, gosh, seventh eighth grade in
13:46
that ballpark? Depending on why birthdays, probably eighth grade? Right, Yeah.
13:50
So Melissa and Mark Wimer are his parents. His name is Mike.
13:54
He's a child prodigy. They say they never pushed Mike to do homework,
13:58
that little Raskell just wanted to do it anyway, and by doing so,
14:05
he managed to not only graduate with a bachelor's degree, but in that time,
14:11
in three years, he also ran two tech companies started a third one
14:13
and partnered with Atlantic Lions Share, which is a company. You're speaking gibberish
14:20
to me, But can I just go back to the fact that the parents,
14:24
I mean, you gotta give a credit words due great parents. I'm
14:26
sure, yeah, but yeah, never punished some like get out of here,
14:31
because there was nothing to punish him about. The kid graduated college at
14:35
fourteen. You probably like, at that point, do you have to like
14:39
stop him from doing homework? Be like, all right, bye, listen,
14:41
but it's midnight. You gotta get some sleep. Yeah, I guess
14:46
I don't get you like screen time, but the screen is his calculatory might
14:52
put teen nine whatever it was. Look up this morning, Up this morning,
14:56
you can Amanda in the morning made eight point one trending. Now here's
15:03
what you need to know. Authority's arrested a man in Arizona over the weekend.
15:07
They found him traveling with pounds of fetinol and cocaine in his car.
15:11
He was twenty seven years old, about forty five minutes north of the US
15:13
Mexico border. They ended up finding more than a million fetinol pills that weighed
15:18
nearly two hundred and thirty pounds and about ten pounds of cocaine in the car.
15:24
Drug I guess estimated value on the street for this is going to be
15:28
three point one million dollars. That's way too many drugs and I'm glad they
15:31
got it because that stuff is the devil. And man Wabaudan please say that
15:37
a thirty four year old man was shot. Officers didn't receive a call about
15:39
four thirty five pm on Saturday. When they responded, they found a thirty
15:43
four year old man outside Lane on the ground with a chesspoon. The man
15:46
was lifelighted to Fargo. The victim indicated that he was shot by a family
15:50
member. They arrested thirty seven year old Shanley Lane for attempted murder. Hey,
15:54
it feels like a really big year at the box office. I know
15:58
COVID did some damage to Vodka's office or ratings and sales and all that kind
16:03
of single movie. Yeah, and I feel like it's kind of backcause Super
16:06
Mario Brothers one of the biggest movies of all time, and then yes it
16:11
was like number two or number three. Yeah, yes, of all time.
16:15
I think the one movie needed to like pass his et and then that
16:18
would have been. Yeah, it's crazy, we're talking about a different list,
16:21
Like the biggest box office movies ever are obviously like the Avengers films,
16:25
Titanic, Nope, Avatar, No, we're just kidding. Super Mario Bros.
16:30
Is up there. Okay, I believe you if you hadn't included ET,
16:32
because since when is ET on that list? Intergrac I know you've been
16:37
googling your little fingers out this morning, but I think, well, I
16:40
will tell you this. A spider Man across the Spider Verse had as successful
16:44
opening over the weekend, bringing in one hundred and twenty point five million dollars.
16:48
That was the best opening so far for the summer, beating out Guardians
16:51
of the Galaxy Volume three, and that was one hundred and eighteen million.
16:55
I am terrible. I have not gotten and seen any of these movies,
16:57
but I heard Guardians of the Galaxy. There was a grown man in our
17:00
break room last week on his birthday talking about that's where he went, and
17:04
he was crying. He's like, really, I choked up like three or
17:07
four times. I'm like over a Marvel movie. You haven't cried in a
17:11
movie before. I guess I just expected this to be more of a you
17:15
know, well, yeah, it's a superhero thing. But of course there's
17:17
storyline, there's like romance, there's like every movie. You know. No,
17:22
what's the last movie you cried watching? Well, it was more of
17:26
a series. It was Firefly Lane. Oh yeah, Oh that got me
17:29
good. I was ball lean for like two days watching that. What happened?
17:33
Tell me who died? No? What? I don't want to Well,
17:36
I guess it's not really a spoiler. Catherine Heigl's character die? No,
17:40
the other one? Who's the other one? I can't think of he
17:42
died? Though? You just telling everybody she died? Okay? Everyone,
17:45
if you wanted to watch it? All right? What are we talking about?
17:48
Was Super Mario Brothers? You really wanted me to google that? Okay?
17:52
Kidding? Well highest grossing movies if you yeah, that's what we want.
17:59
Well, the top lifetime gross number one is Avatar, thank you?
18:02
Okay? And then it's Avengers yep? Where where do we find that?
18:06
The other list? Oh? Geez animated? You guys animated? Sorry,
18:10
wasn't animated, but that somehow came out of your mouth. No it I
18:14
hate to be this guy, but I just can't have you saying things like
18:15
that wildly incorrect information. Oh here we going into work. No, no,
18:21
no, no, Frozen one, Frozen two is the top grossing animated
18:26
movie, and then it's Super Mario Bros. Yes, so it's animated,
18:30
and then Frozen is number three. That's why I meant. That's when I
18:32
said, I'm sure it's on a list of some kind, but it's not.
18:34
All right, thank you, the real information. Ready, let's oh
18:42
no, Amanda Stills the sea we see all right? Are they over?
18:48
Is it done? What is going on? Taylor Swift's man, Maddie Healy,
18:52
which, by the way, didn't even know this guy until like six
18:53
weeks ago. Now it's everywhere you turn, and some people are calling him
18:57
Maddie and some are calling him matt. I mean, iagine going home to
19:00
your parents and like maybe oh, I got a new boyfriend, and they
19:03
go, what's his name? And you say Maddie. Good? Could they
19:06
even say? How can you say that? Seriously? You'd be like saying
19:07
you're dating a guy named Timmy. No offense anybody named Timmy listening you don't
19:11
like Ta ta and Maddie as an item, Well, he's back to his
19:15
old way as I'm like, what does that even mean? So apparently because
19:18
he is actually famous, he's a part of a group in the nineteen seventy
19:22
five They're not my thing? But what was that big song Chocolate? I
19:26
have no idea anyway. He had sat down for an interview a few weeks
19:30
back and he said that he stopped kissing fans out of respect for Taylor Swift
19:33
and maybe just in general, maybe you don't just start kissing fans. Weep,
19:38
you don't, That's what Elvis usaid, don't say, and maybe that's
19:41
a vibe is going with. But he kissed a male security guard on the
19:45
lips are in his concert of the weekend. He has notoriously been doing this
19:48
forever, but on Friday he got down on his knees and shared an intimate
19:51
moment with a staff member. Weird, that is a weird thing. I
19:53
know, you've got to find like your thing, your niche whatever, but
19:56
that's not a cool one. No, it's not at all. And let's
20:00
the security guard was like, hey, kiss me then, and everyone's signed
20:03
kiss me. And according to intern Gracie and your swifty Easter egg line or
20:10
whatever you got going on over there, they maybe broke up. It's what
20:12
I've been seeing all over my Taylor Swift Facebook group that because of this situation
20:18
or is she just no over the fact that was it? The my mom
20:22
is miss Piggy did that? I got a fact that set her over the
20:26
edge. Here's here's this band in the nineteen seventy five Remember this song?
20:30
I don't know no, I think we played it for a second here on
20:36
Big Ninea point seven. Anyway, she should break up with him, if
20:38
she hasn't already. I suspect she has, though, and she's gonna pretend
20:41
like it never happened. She'll be asking interviews. You know, She's like,
20:45
I don't know who that guy even is? What that wasn't me?
20:48
You mean that anti semi never even heard of it? Yeah? Right,
20:52
And this divorce is just never, ever, ever, ever gonna be done.
20:56
Brad Pitt Angelina Jolie at it again. This time it is over this
21:00
winery. They've been going back and forth with it. They actually bought it.
21:03
They got married there. When they broke up. Brad was very very
21:07
like adamant about wanting this. I want this, I want this. So
21:11
she was being vindictive, according to him, collaborating some sort of secret with
21:15
this guy and kept Brad in the dark and ended up giving her shares to
21:19
this dude. I don't like to assume what kind of person a person is
21:23
just by looking at their face. But if you look at Angela and the
21:26
Jolie's bace, what word comes to mind? I mean vindictive? Right,
21:30
Yes, and I've tried. I've never liked her since a Brad and Jen
21:34
thing though, like that was. I was always team Jennifer Anniston. But
21:37
she's not making herself look good in this situation either. Doesn't she play the
21:41
yes melanocent yea, that's like perfect for her? Ye all agree? That
21:48
is so perfect for her? At what point did they just get back together
21:52
just like give up? Right? No, I don't think he's ever going
21:56
to do that. But for the first time in however, it'll be thirty
22:00
years. I watched hocus Pocus when the second one came out. My daughter
22:03
and I were watching it because it's on Disney Plus easy to access, and
22:07
I loved it. Now we're finding out they're working on hocus Pocus three.
22:11
Man, how old are these ladies? These witches? See what I'm with
22:15
you, Amanda That's the only reason I watched the first one is because the
22:18
second one came out, So, yeah, I gotta watch the first one.
22:19
Yeah, I saw the first one years ago. That Midler's got to
22:22
be what in her or seven? She was seventy seven when I googled it
22:25
earlier. Yeah, because you thought, why do I think she is dead?
22:27
And I'm still not convinced she's not dead? Are are they going forward
22:30
with the movie thinking she's alive and she's dead? The fact you are thinking
22:36
Bett Midler's dead is mind blowing. Died who Betty White? Betty White,
22:41
Bette Midler actress? Maybe similar to Who's like Who's kind of like Bette Midler?
22:51
There's some that comes to find I don't know, but when she dies,
22:55
I'm going to have a wind beneath my wings on repack
